Faith and Freedom with Shemane Nugent
Episode Summary – December 14, 2025 (iHeartPodcasts – Real America’s Voice)
Overview
On this episode of “Faith and Freedom,” Shemane Nugent hosts an in-depth discussion centered on the hidden health dangers of technology, particularly smartphones and electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation, and how they impact children’s mental and physical health. Renowned health advocate Dr. Brian Artis joins to break down recent scientific studies about smartphone risks, offer actionable advice for families, and discuss broader societal concerns such as the proliferation of 5G, environmental toxins, and governmental overreach. Later, activist Kelly Walker introduces the People’s Tribune Council initiative, aiming to empower citizens and bring community concerns directly to the center of national leadership. The episode closes with a spiritual reflection from Pastor Anthony Thomas and reminders of resilience, faith, and moving forward.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. Technology & Children’s Health: The Downside of Early Smartphone Use
- Shemaine Nugent opens the show by citing a Pediatrics journal study: owning a smartphone before age 12 significantly raises risks for depression, obesity, and chronic sleep disruption ([02:40]).
- Dr. Brian Artis explains the scientific findings:
- Children aged 12 who receive smartphones are much more likely to develop clinical depression, obesity, and insomnia within just one year ([03:38]).
- The effect is not primarily about social media, but the mere presence and use of the device ([08:51]).
- Adolescent brain and hormone development are especially susceptible to EMF radiation, with serotonin (the “happy hormone”) being “destroyed by the amount of EMFs we are exposed to” from phones, WiFi, and electronics ([09:35]).
“Serotonin is a hormone that makes you happy and makes you feel safe... Serotonin is destroyed by the amount of EMFs we are exposed to from smartphones, WiFi, smart televisions, computers, the like.” — Dr. Brian Artis [09:40]
Notable Insights:
- The design of WiFi routers now includes 5G capability, effectively making every home a potential 5G emitter unless the provider is contacted to deactivate the function ([06:29]).
- EMF exposure disrupts puberty hormones, impacts testosterone (infertility risk), causes tachycardia and hypertension, and damages organ systems in both humans and animals ([10:20]).
2. 5G, Mold, and Environmental Toxins: A Multifaceted Threat
- Shemane references her recent presentation on how EMF and 5G exposure can aggravate mold, mycotoxin, and Lyme disease symptoms in people ([07:51]).
- Dr. Artis outlines research suggesting:
- 5G emissions can speed up how fungi and bacteria (like mold, Candida, and E. coli) absorb glucose and replicate, making infections and chronic illness harder to control ([12:50]).
- Claims that COVID-19 vaccine DNA plasmids can be taken up by bacteria and fungi, which may further replicate in the presence of 5G radiation — an assertion aligning with Dr. Artis’ often-controversial viewpoints ([13:37]).
3. Mitigation Strategies: How Can We Protect Ourselves?
EMF & Environmental Defense
- Grounding: Spend time barefoot outdoors, especially at sunrise or sunset, to absorb healing red light and dissipate stored EMF energy ([22:42]).
- Red Light Therapy: Use red light bulbs (e.g., from Sana Space) or get direct dawn/dusk sunlight to neutralize effects of EMFs ([21:32]).
- Detox Travel and Home Environments:
- Install EMF-shielding devices at home.
- Use filtered water systems — public water may contain heavy metals ([25:47]).
- Employ binders for heavy metal detoxification: apple pectin, EDTA, chlorella, bentonite clay, bee pollen ([25:50], [27:57]).
“The earth itself neutralizes the frequencies our bodies have absorbed from all of these, this tech.” — Dr. Brian Artis [23:54]
Chemtrails & Heavy Metals
- Dr. Artis discusses finding aluminum oxide in chemtrails, which is absorbed into humans from air and water, correlating with neurodegenerative diseases ([25:50]).
4. Civic Action: The People’s Tribune Council
Reclaiming Citizen Authority & Sovereignty
- Kelly Walker introduces the People's Tribune Council — modeled after the ancient Roman Tribune — to give Americans a direct, organized voice to leaders, especially to former President Trump ([32:52]).
- The initiative is prompted by perceived government overreach, unaddressed grievances (e.g., parental rights), and a belief that “the law is being used as a bludgeon,” necessitating community-driven oversight ([38:06]).
- Launch date is December 16, the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party ([38:29]).
“We’re at this place of, you know, in case of emergency, break glass. [...] We want to help fulfill the promise that President Trump made when he first came into office in 2017 to return the power to the people.” — Kelly Walker [36:50]
5. Faith, Hope, and Moving Forward
- Shemaine Nugent and Pastor Anthony Thomas encourage focusing on the future and letting go of past regrets ([42:53], [44:29]).
- The Holy Spirit “always leads you forward,” not backward into pain. No matter the past, believers are called forward into healing and new purpose ([44:29]).
“God never calls you backwards. Have you noticed that the Holy Spirit is always leading you forward?” — Chemaine Nugent [43:17]
“He’ll never bring you back in your past to moan things of another time... He will always move you forward.” — Pastor Anthony Thomas [44:43]
Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments
- “Perhaps you were born for such a time as this.” — Chemaine Nugent (Recurring theme/introduction)
- “Every aged person should be doing grounding for the same exact amount of time you’re exposing yourself to dangerous hormone-disrupting EMF radiations.” — Dr. Brian Artis [10:10]
- “The 5G towers are now equipped not with just 5G capability; they are equipped up to 10G, Chemain, when they were installed.” — Dr. Brian Artis [11:58]
- “If your body’s full of metals, guess what you’re going to do? You’re going to absorb all the electromagnetic frequency.” — Dr. Brian Artis [27:17]
- “We’re not asking permission to do this. We’re doing it. God already gave us that permission.” — Kelly Walker [40:25]
- “Let God do what only he can do. Let him break the old chains. Let him heal old wounds. Let him move you toward the future he designed for you.” — Chemaine Nugent [46:34]
