Junk Food, Fraud, and the Fight to Make America Healthy Again

In this hard-hitting episode, Michael and Tom dive deep into the massive shift happening within the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). For decades, billions of taxpayer dollars have flowed into the coffers of big soda and snack food corporations under the guise of "nutrition assistance." That era is coming to a violent halt.

Under the leadership of President Trump and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) initiative is finally targeting the metabolic crisis at its source. We break down how the administration is cutting the "sugar subsidy" and why the days of buying soda, candy, and energy drinks on the public dime are numbered.

• The 18-State Revolution: As of early 2026, 18 states—including Texas, Florida, and West Virginia—have already begun enforcing new restrictions. We list the states leading the charge and how they are successfully using USDA waivers to redefine what "food" actually means.

• The "Taxpayer Waste" Reality Check: Michael and Tom pull no punches on the financial insanity of the current system. Why are we paying twice—once to buy the junk food for recipients, and a second time to treat the resulting diabetes and obesity through Medicaid?

• Exposing the Fraud: It’s not just about what’s being bought; it’s about how the system is being gamed. We discuss the rampant EBT trafficking, the "bodega movie sets" filled with expired food, and the billions lost to skimming and sophisticated fraud rings.

• The MAHA Vision: How RFK Jr. is steering the USDA away from corporate interests and back toward "real food" like high-quality proteins and whole grains.

"If we want a strong country, we need a healthy population. You can't build a future on corn syrup and taxpayer-funded fraud." — Michael & Tom

Buckle up for the absolute clown car of chaos on this episode of The Savaged Unfiltered Show! Michael kicks things off by waltzing into the studio over 30 minutes late, thanks to Atlanta traffic that's slower than a sloth on sedatives—picture him honking and ranting like a one-man road rage symphony. But wait, there's more tardiness! Bob makes his glorious comeback after a two-month vanishing act, only to blame his epic lateness on a "timezone error"—yeah, right, as if he time-traveled from the Stone Age and forgot to set his sundial.

Once these punctuality pros finally sync up, the gang unleashes their freakiest travel food fixations: Michael's secret love affair with gas station sushi that could double as a biohazard, The Old Man's obsession with airport pretzels the size of steering wheels, and Bob's quest for the world's weirdest truck-stop tacos.

The files are out, the names are dropping, and the mainstream narrative is in a tailspin. On this explosive episode of Savaged Unfiltered, Michael Gardner tears into the latest "transparency" stunt from the DOJ. While the Left screams about cover-ups and redacted names, they seem to forget who was actually on the plane. Why is the media still obsessed with the Epstein files in 2026, and why is Ro Khanna suddenly the self-appointed gatekeeper of the "Epstein Class"?

We aren’t just looking at the documents; we’re looking at the distraction.

• The Redaction Reality: Michael breaks down the 3.5 million pages released and why the Left is claiming a "cover-up" despite the sheer volume of data already public.

• The Names Game: We discuss the six high-profile names recently "uncovered" by the House—is this actual accountability or just a pre-midterm political hit job?

  
  

• Targeting the Cabinet: From calls for Howard Lutnick’s resignation to the relentless pursuit of Trump’s inner circle, we expose the strategy behind the endless Epstein headlines.

We’re joined by a fan-favorite conservative voice, Turtle, who calls in to give us her raw, unfiltered take on the situation. Turtle doesn't hold back as she weighs in on:

"They don’t want the truth; they want a weapon. If they actually cared about the victims, they’d look at the donors funding their own primary challengers instead of chasing ghosts in 20-year-old flight logs."

Turtle dives deep into the hypocrisy of the "Woke Narrative" and why the grassroots conservative base sees right through the latest round of leaks.
