Biden Censored Him on TV, Then His Accounts Started Vanishing W/Dr. Ben Tapper

Episode Summary

Oto sits down with Dr. Ben Tapper — chiropractor, father of five, and one of the twelve people the Biden administration publicly named as the "Disinformation Dozen" — for a conversation about what it actually costs to speak against a narrative. Ben traces his path from a free-range Nebraska childhood to the moment a video of him addressing the Omaha City Council on mask mandates pulled three million views in a day.

From there they get into the machinery of censorship: the shadowbanning he screen-recorded, five Instagram accounts deleted one after another, a permanent TikTok ban off a single video, and the financial de-platforming almost nobody talks about — PayPal and Venmo seizing his funds mid-fundraise for a documentary he'd already contractually committed to deliver.

They also cover his "why," his read on Bitcoin and the moment the Canadian truckers convinced him, homeschooling, health insurance as an oxymoron — before closing on the lawsuits he's now part of against the Trusted News Initiative and the CCDH.
