A FOIA request for Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona's oath of office revealed a document that was not notarized and lacked an appointment date. Todd Callender argues that without a sworn affidavit, Cardona is merely an "actor" with no legal authority to issue mandates or rules. The hosts suggest that parents should demand to see the oaths of school superintendents and teachers who attempt to enforce mask or vaccine requirements.

Expert Ron Gibson explains the difference between a "warranty deed" and a "land patent," asserting that only a patent provides true allodial title. He argues that the 1946 Administrative Procedures Act allowed the government to redefine land as "real estate" to gain jurisdiction over private property. Gibson notes that most modern homeowners are listed as "tenants" on their deeds rather than true owners.

Robert Barnes provides an update on a Children's Health Defense lawsuit against the FDA in Waco, Texas, seeking to stop the promotion of vaccines to children. The suit alleges the FDA used characters like Big Bird and Elmo to promote a drug that does not meet the legal definition of a vaccine. Barnes details the government's defense, which relies on "standing" and "sovereign immunity" under emergency powers.
