“In the last four years, we’ve seen an aggregate inflation of about 26 percent. So that’s a quarter of your purchasing power—phoosh gone—just disappeared across the board,” says Stefan Rust, founder and CEO of Truflation, a blockchain-based financial data service that provides real-time economic and inflation data.

What will be the impact of DOGE’s aggressive cost-cutting? Could it cause a short-term reduction in the size of the U.S. economy?

Some people have been talking about risks of deflation—is that really a concern? And what will be the economic impact of Trump’s tariffs?

In this episode, I sit down with John O’Sullivan, a former policy and speech writer for British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and former editor-in-chief of National Review and executive editor of Radio Free Europe. Today, he’s the president of the Danube Institute, a Hungary-based think-tank.

A “unified national identity is an absolute essential for a successful democracy,” he says. “If we continue on a multicultural path, it’s a path which is going to go in the directions of ever more aggressive and hostile identity politics, and people will feel that their neighbors are their enemies.”

O’Sullivan’s latest book is titled: “Sleepwalking into Wokeness: How We Got Here.”

“The idea of post-nationalism is unachievable if you’re a state. You don’t remain just a post-national state, what you become is something else,” he says.

President Trump says he wants the United States to control the Panama Canal and other regions and waterways that he says are crucial to America’s national security interests.

“The question we would have to have with Panama is: Do you truly, verifiably know everything that China is doing in regards to your canal for national security concerns? And unless they could give us an answer of ‘100%, we do,’ I think that we’re going to have to have more transparency on that. And I think that’s where the conversation is at today,” says Joseph Humire. He is an expert on Latin America, specializing, in foreign policy, national security, and asymmetric warfare.

“Worst case scenario for the United States would be that [China] would find a way to disrupt the Panama Canal so that the United States no longer has rapid reaction capabilities to be able to move from the Atlantic into the Pacific,” he says.

In this episode, Humire breaks down the context of Trump’s recent comments and explains how vulnerable the United States is to increasing Chinese, Russian, and Iranian influence in the region.

“The United States has not had a grand strategy for the Western Hemisphere arguably in 100 years—arguably since the Monroe Doctrine,” he says.

“When someone asks me where are you from, I say I’m from America, because I’m from so many different places, growing up in a motorhome, but also in houses, in sheds,” says Carrie Sheffield. “There were parts of my experience as a child that I really treasure that taught me to love America. But there unfortunately was a lot of abuse as well.”

Now a columnist, broadcaster, and senior policy analyst for Independent Women’s Voice with a Masters in Public Policy from Harvard University, Ms. Sheffield grew up with seven siblings and an abusive, mentally ill father who thought he was a modern-day Mormon prophet. Always on the move, Ms. Sheffield rotated between 17 public schools—as well as homeschooling—over the course of her childhood. The glue in the family was her mother.

She is the author of the new memoir, “Motorhome Prophecies: A Journey of Healing and Forgiveness.”

In this episode, drawing from her own life circumstances, she offers some profound insights into the cultural malaise she sees afflicting America—from the rise in suicide and depression to the epidemic of addiction and isolation—and a path forward.

“We put human intellect in the place of God. And so even though we are materially better off, and even though we have economic wealth, it has come at a price, and that price is the humility and the recognition of the giver of our gifts. We’ve substituted worship for the giver of our gifts, with worship of the gifts. And any society that is ordered in this way is disordered,” Ms. Sheffield says.

In 2021, Winston Marshall sent a tweet congratulating Andy Ngo for his book, “Unmasked: Inside Antifa’s Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy.” He soon found himself and his band, Mumford & Sons, at the center of a firestorm.

Three years later, he’s the host of The Winston Marshall Show and co-founder of the “Dissident Dialogues” festival of ideas, which held its first gathering recently in Brooklyn in New York City.

I noticed that my miscarriage rate from year to year had gone up by 100 percent.”

Dr. Kimberly Biss is a board-certified OBGYN who has grown her Florida private practice to a five-provider group that delivers roughly 300 babies a year. Having been involved in more than a thousand pregnancies herself, Dr. Biss observed some disturbing trends in her patients once the COVID-19 genetic vaccines rolled out in 2021.

“Now that people are getting the documents from the trials, there were bad outcomes in there. The miscarriage rate was 80 percent in the Pfizer trials. They knew that,” she says.

“This information was first reported by my colleagues Naomi Wolf and her team at Daily Clout, and extensively reviewed by Dr. James Thorpe. Of the 270 women who got pregnant, only 32 were followed up on, and 26 miscarried. 81%.”

Dr. Biss began tracking and comparing her data in real time, the bulk of which was published in 2022 on Dr. Jessica Rose’s Substack.

“A lot of medical schools—over 50 to 60 percent of their money probably comes from Big Pharma,” says Dr. Biss.

We dive into the data Dr. Biss compiled, and discuss how pressure campaigns from federal health agencies and Big Pharma influenced the vaccine roll-out in pregnant and breastfeeding women.

“In the beginning, they locked us down, we’re all eating Uber Eats, all processed junk, can’t go to the gym, can’t exercise, don’t go outside, don’t get in the sun, which is your vitamin D. So, we were all deficient in D. I mean, everything that doesn’t promote any sort of health they told us to do,” says Dr. Biss.

“They have young teenage patients showing up at the hospital with vaginal atrophy, uterine atrophy, bleeding pain,” says Canadian journalist Mia Hughes, the author of a 70-page report that scrutinizes a series of leaked internal files from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH).

“This is brand new territory. We’ve never done this to teenage girls before. They’re just making it up as they go along. They’re layering other drugs on top of the testosterone to try to cope with the very side effects that the testosterone has caused, never at any point questioning: is it a good idea to give these girls testosterone?” Ms. Hughes says.

In this episode, she breaks down what was revealed in these leaked files.

“Health care is supposed to improve health, not destroy it,” Ms. Hughes says.

“I think we now have to make sure that we understand what an adversary China is, and make sure that we’re not playing into our own demise,” says Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.

She has taken a strong stance on the communist China threat, and she has also been going against the grain in Canada with her policies on energy, COVID mandates, the drug crisis, and “gender-affirming care.”

In this episode, I had a chance to do a deep dive with her about her thinking around these policies.

“I want Alberta to just be this bastion of freedom and liberty,” Ms. Smith says. “I want to make sure we preserve it.”

“They actually believe that all children are intrinsically queer, and that what’s happening is that normal society is ’socializing‘ them, which is a fancy word for ’brainwashing' them, to be normal, which means—for them—not queer, where queer is a political stance.”

In this episode, I sit down with James Lindsay and Logan Lansing to discuss their new book, “The Queering of the American Child: How a New School Religious Cult Poisons the Minds and Bodies of Normal Kids.”

“It took me less than one minute to find a whole suite of furry literature about children adopting ‘fursonas,’ or furry personas, and identifying not as human, explicitly underwritten by queer theory in the doctrine,” says Mr. Lancing.

What is queer theory? Who are its biggest proponents? And what practical impact has it had on America’s youth, our institutions, and society at large?

“What they define for a pedagogy right from the beginning in 1993, was a radical form of educative activism, implemented deliberately to interfere with, to intervene in the production of normalcy in school subjects, which is just technical gobbledygook from queer theory. That means we are going to use critical pedagogy as a method and we’re going to make sure kids do not turn out normal,” says Mr. Lancing. “They’re going to turn out deviant, abnormal, perverse—whatever it is that is positioned against the norm, that is the goal. And they laid that out. Right at the very beginning. They also added that their goal was to make it explicitly activist in nature, so there is no room for interpretation.”

“There are no brakes on the train. Yesterday’s radical is today’s conservative. It has to keep moving towards the direction of completely dissolving normalcy, boundaries, and legitimacy. So, don’t be surprised if it gets a bit crazier than even children biting other children while they’re dressed as dogs and cats and wearing tails,” says Mr. Lancing.

“And it was meant to bring about what Paulo Freire’s vision was: a next generation, non-Soviet, Marxist revolution in the children, based off of an education system he derived from Mao Zedong, in his own words. What Mao had done in the 1950s successfully with children, he imported into his method,” says Mr. Lindsay. “But, of course, we know that Mao used that in the mid-1960s as the basis to create his Red Guard that then went and did exactly what we see schoolchildren in America doing today. Can they read? Not really. Can they write? Not so much. How are they at math? Failing. However, they know to show up on the statehouse steps when there’s some policy they don’t like or when something happens, so that they can do a die-in or they can do some kind of show of activism.”

“As long as the world can believe that Palestinians are refugees in perpetuity and are stateless in perpetuity because of a so-called colonial empire that has been thrust upon them by the Jews, then they have the sympathy of the world. And that has been their success story.”

Following Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel, many of us became aware, for the first time, of UNRWA, the United Nations agency serving Palestinian refugees. It receives hundreds of millions of dollars from the United States every year.

“UNRWA has basically transformed itself into an advocacy organization for the Palestinian people—what I would consider to be a case study of where the client has hijacked the service provider. So, where you have an entire apparatus of an agency, but that has the imprimatur of the United Nations, and so gives the illusion of neutrality, integrity, and whatnot,” says Asaf Romirowsky, a Middle East historian and co-author of “Religion, Politics, and the Origins of Palestine Refugee Relief.”

Established in 1949, UNRWA was supposed to be a temporary organization. So how did it become one of the largest and costliest U.N. agencies? And how is it that the number of Palestinian refugees has ballooned sevenfold, according to UNRWA, when virtually all other refugees established after World War II have been resettled?

To find out, I sat down with Mr. Romirowsky, executive director of Scholars for Peace in the Middle East.

“UNRWA has been proven to be exactly synonymous to Hamas. The fact that they had Hamas servers under their headquarters, the fact that they had individuals who were part of the perpetrators of the attacks on October 7—UNRWA is no longer a legitimate organization. They have never been to my mind. ... It’s an obstacle to peace, rather than a solution to peace,” says Mr. Romirowsky.

“I think that there’s a disconnect—and this has always been something we’ve observed here and in Europe about the reality on the ground and what it takes to create peace. I think peace is a goal and should be the goal. But ... there has to be mutual recognition. ... There has been a refusal to accept Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state.”

In this wide-ranging interview, I get independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s candid take on the biggest challenges he sees facing America today.

What does RFK Jr. see as the path forward when it comes to the rise in chronic diseases among young Americans, big tech manipulation, the Israel-Gaza war, and the threat of communist China?

“How is it possible that the churches, or many churches, decided to close their doors exactly during those times when they were supposed to have their doors open?”

Cristian Terhes is a Romanian-Greek Catholic priest and a Member of the European Parliament, representing Romania as a member of the European Conservatives and Reformists Group. Growing up under communism made him vigilant against creeping totalitarianism.

“You will have unelected officials, bureaucrats, often unknown bureaucrats, deciding on behalf of your state. And if they decide that something is wrong for the people, they will not be accountable because you don’t even know who those people are,” says MEP Terhes.

In this episode, he shares a warning about the consolidation of power he sees in international bodies like the European Union and the World Health Organization.

“We are witnessing the ‘Chinafication’ of Europe. And I gave the example of the digital COVID certificate, but it did not stop there,” says MEP Terhes.

We discuss the cultural and political transformation of Europe since the start of the COVID pandemic, from radical gender policy to the erosion of national constitutions.

“The greener we get, the more dependent we are on China, and they’re taking advantage of it. That is part, I think, of their 100-Year Plan. They don’t want to go to war with anyone, they’re just going to own our economy.”

What has been the result of the West’s current energy and climate policies? Has our planet become cleaner? Or greener? Or have our economies weakened, and our products cheapened?

“China is burning fossil fuels like there is no tomorrow. And the Biden administration is doing everything it can to reduce fossil fuel use in the United States,” says Steve Milloy, senior fellow at the Energy and Environmental Legal Institute. “You have this European climate movement, which has been funded by Putin to block Europe from producing its own energy. The other side knows what the West’s weaknesses are, and they fund them—and much to our detriment.”

He argues that the Biden administration is putting independent oil companies out of business, and that contrary to reducing carbon emissions, the West has merely exported them to hostile actors.

“Exxon Mobil and Chevron ... last year they announced $110-billion worth of purchases of smaller companies who have been weakened by Biden policies,” says Mr. Milloy.

“In America, we really don’t have a health care system, even though we call everything ‘health’ insurance, ‘health’ care, and this and that,” says Dr. Jingduan Yang.

“We’re not healthy as a nation because we allocate all resources trying to deal with consequences of problems or disease, rather than to prevent [them] and find the root causes that cause those problems,” he says.

Yang is a specialist in psychiatry and integrative medicine, and is a fifth-generation practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. He’s the CEO of Northern Medical Center and founder of the Yang Institute of Integrative Medicine.

Western medicine could learn a lot from the approach of Chinese medicine, he says, which emphasizes prevention before problems become structurally damaging and looking at every part of the body as part of an integrated system.

“In Chinese medicine, every organ is connected. ... Therefore, there’s no way you could address any part of the body’s issue without looking at the whole system,” Yang says.

“Every regulator, every health authority, every government should be screaming from the top of their lungs: ‘This is a problem. This is a national [and] global crisis. We should look into it.’ But there’s silence on it, and I believe they’re silent because they know the answer.”

Edward Dowd was a Wall Street executive working as a growth portfolio manager for BlackRock. Utilizing his skills in recognizing fraud and interpreting statistics, he started compiling and analyzing data on injury and death associated with the COVID-19 genetic vaccines.

“We applied what we did in finance to what we’re seeing in the populations across the globe in disability. So, we’re just measuring using our statistical tools to figure out when trends change. We saw excess death trend up in ‘21 and ‘22 and ‘23, and disabilities just really take off in ‘21,” says Mr. Dowd.

He recently testified in the Senate about his findings, which are documented in his book, ‘“Cause Unknown:” The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 & 2022.’

“If you look at the the stock prices of Pfizer and Moderna ... they’re at critical junctures in their technical stock prices,” says Mr. Dowd. “In fact, Pfizer, I think, is now below its pre-COVID price.”

How have the number of excess deaths and disabilities changed given the low booster uptake in America today? What about in other countries?

“The booster uptake in the U.S. is quite low now. So, the good news is there seems to be a declining trend in excess mortality—not [in] disability so much, unfortunately,” says Mr. Dowd.

In 1997, the Chinese communist regime labeled Uyghur human rights activist Dolkun Isa a “criminal,” and put him on Interpol’s list of most dangerous fugitives. After 9/11, they added another label: “Terrorist.” He has been detained and expelled at the border of multiple countries, and narrowly escaped being extradited back to China.

He’s the author of “The China Freedom Trap: My Life on the Run.” In this episode, he exposes the harrowing effects of the long arm of Chinese transnational repression.

“The lack of response I’ve gotten by the FDA and the CDC leads me to believe that those agencies are captured. They should be doing this job. They should be out there surveying all the funeral homes and the embalmers around the world and trying to find out if this is a COVID problem. Is this a COVID vaccine problem? What’s causing these things? You can’t deny they exist, because here they are.”

In this episode, I sit down with Thomas Haviland, a retired Air Force engineer and data analyst. After being fired from the military for refusing to take the COVID-19 genetic vaccine, he noticed that embalmers and funeral homes were speaking out about large, abnormal blood clots.

“We should stop injections immediately, until Big Pharma can prove that these things really are safe, because the information I’ve gathered in this survey, I think, puts that greatly into question,” says Mr. Haviland.

He conducted two worldwide surveys of hundreds of embalmers.

“We got 179 responses to that first survey. Of those, 119 of the embalmers responding were seeing these strange white fibrous clots. Almost exactly 66 percent, two-thirds of the embalmers responding to that first survey said they were seeing these white fibrous clots ... They were seeing them in up to an average of 30 percent of their corpses, with some of the embalmers seeing them in up to 50 percent,” says Mr. Haviland.

The fentanyl scourge—the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18 to 45—is a “CCP-run operation,” says investigative journalist Peter Schweizer. He’s the author of, most recently, “Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans.”

In this episode, he breaks down the Chinese regime’s disintegration-warfare strategies to destroy America from within—from killing young Americans with fentanyl to radicalizing protests in America so they adopt increasingly violent tactics.

“Now you have nudge units embedded in governments or advising governments all around the world. And what they’re really trying to do is change the will of the people from the top down. Now, there’s no democratic mandate for this. So, governments are sneakily using pre-conscious subliminal and covert techniques to change the way we behave, to make us model citizens. And maybe it’s supposedly in our best interests, but we haven’t been consulted upon it.”

In this episode, I sit down with Laura Dodsworth, one of the first journalists to expose COVID-era government manipulation and how “nudge units” used fear to change behavior.

“I feel it and I think I know a lot of people do—this feeling of something quite dark brewing, socially and politically. There’s a feeling of a net tightening and of truth being squashed, of more surveillance, more censorship, institutions captured by woke ideology,” says Ms. Dodsworth.

We discuss the new book she co-authored: “Free Your Mind: The New World of Manipulation and How to Resist It.”

“Your mind is wonderous. You do deserve to be sovereign of it. And you can be in charge of your own decision-making capability. You’re not on a sliding scale with a piece of machinery at all,” says Ms. Dodsworth.

What is the real threat of AI? Of social media? Of pornography? Of net-zero?

“One study in 2007 estimated that the human brain receives the equivalent of 174 newspapers worth of information every day. So, that’s the first thing. You’re overwhelmed with information. And the human brain simply can’t cope with it all. So, what you do is you depend upon shortcuts—cognitive biases to make sense of the world,” says Ms. Dodsworth.

“The media really gave the liberal and leftist elites a language with which to pretend that they are the crusaders on the side of the good, when actually they themselves are the villains in this story in a big way. And that language is wokeness.”

Batya Ungar-Sargon says she used to suffer from what’s been called “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” But after speaking to people outside of her political bubble, she now believes he’s actually a centrist candidate.

“Any time you turn on cable news, you will hear liberals casting him as a unique threat to democracy, when he is really the opposite of that. He’s the sort-of apotheosis of a democratic system that will not allow the billions of dollars spent trying to stop him to get in the way of the will of the people,” she says.

Ms. Ungar-Sargon recently traveled the country, speaking to everyday Americans about how they perceive the political, economic, and cultural climate. She compiled her findings in a book: “Second Class: How the Elites Betrayed America’s Working Men and Women.”

“The most shocking thing I found was that the American Dream for working-class people is much more alive and well and healthy in red states than it is in blue states,” says Ms. Ungar-Sargon.

We discuss how, according to her, the democratic party betrayed middle-class Americans by creating a knowledge industry consisting of credentialed elites who benefit economically from illegal immigration and trade liberalization.

“I think much of the Democratic policy today is part and parcel of this upward transfer of wealth, whether it’s student-loan forgiveness, whether it was the lockdown policies, whether it’s the open border, whether it’s the climate agenda and the Green New Deal, Defund the Police—all of this stuff is about the fumes, the virtuous fumes that the over-credentialed elites create out of their ideology. And they always demand that the working class pays for it,” says Ms. Ungar-Sargon.

“The Department of Health and Human Services is sitting on over 12,000 claims by Americans injured by the COVID shots. … They have a denial rate of 98 percent,” says Dr. Joel Wallskog, an orthopedic surgeon who became permanently disabled after getting a COVID-19 genetic vaccine.

In this episode, he shares his story, and he breaks down how compensation for COVID-19 vaccine injury claims is treated quite differently from compensation for other vaccine injuries.

We also dive into what the NIH actually knows about treating the COVID-19 vaccine-injured, something that was revealed in a suppressed preprint report.

Dr. Wallskog is the co-chair of React19, a support organization for the vaccine-injured.

“We’re in this moment in which the culture is on the edge of a precipice. And people from all walks of life and different metaphysical views are all seeing part of that picture and seeing where we’re going, and trying to figure out: okay, what do we do here? We’ve all been on this train going 120 miles an hour, we see it’s about to go off a ravine. We’re all getting off on this last train station, and we’re all very different and trying to figure out how to work together.”

In this episode, I sit down with Jay Richards, an author, philosopher, and professor. He is the director of the DeVos Center for Life, Religion, and Family and the William E. Simon senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation. He is the co-author of “Fight the Good Fight: How an Alliance of Faith and Reason Can Win the Culture War.”

“To queer something is to destabilize and de-center it. So, the point of queer theory is to destabilize and decenter our categories of sexual reality, which include—of course—male and female. But they also include, by the way, adult and child. Those are contested in queer theory,” says Mr. Richards.

We dive into the dangers of gender ideology and comprehensive sex education.

“For most of us, our minds are not adapted to the speed in which information can be transmitted now in 2024,” says Mr. Richards.

We also reflect on the separation of church and state, and the various definitions of the popular phrase “Christian nationalism.”

“It is not about health, this entire WHO new treaty, but it’s about creating a new pandemic industry.”

In this episode, I sit down with Swiss attorney Philipp Kruse, who specializes in international law. He has examined, line by line, the World Health Organization’s new pandemic treaty, and amendments to the International Health Regulations.

“The General Director will be given much more discretion to declare a public health emergency and to maintain it without any mechanism that could stop him from doing so, or even that would force him to justify his decision,” says Mr. Kruse.

He has filed and publicly released a criminal complaint against Swissmedic, the government agency in Switzerland that regulates drugs and medical products.

“Our safety agency did not tell the people the true risks that were involved. Like the WHO, they told everybody: ‘These substances—they are vaccines, and they are safe, and they are effective. Please take them,’” says Mr. Kruse.

Are the treaties really non-binding, as the WHO maintains?

“As long as WHO will maintain the special status of ‘pandemic’—‘public health emergency of international concern’—our politicians and our courts will step back from doing their own careful assessment, and will not put in question what they’ve recommended,” says Mr. Kruse.

“Most of the time when a doctor says there’s nothing wrong with you, what they’re really saying is: That doctor doesn’t know what’s wrong with you ... And I think doctors need to be more honest about that.”

Dr. Jordan Vaughn is a physician of internal medicine and the CEO of MedHelp Clinics. During the pandemic, he noticed a pattern of abnormal clotting among his COVID patients, and saw other symptoms that few were discussing.

“The spike protein has unique properties that allow clotting and clotting pathologies to happen that we'd never seen,” says Dr. Vaughn. “Vax injury, to me at least, can be more complicated, because it starts to involve a lot more neurological and immunological phenomena, as opposed to what I would call long COVID—[which,] in a lot of people, is a lot more just vascular.”

Dr. Vaughn and an increasing number of doctors around the globe believe that COVID-19 is primarily a vascular disease, i.e., one that affects the blood vessels.

“The worst thing you can do if you have a vascular disease of the lungs is increase the intrathoracic pressure with something like a ventilator,” says Dr. Vaughn.

Today, he develops—and applies—treatment methods for those suffering from long COVID and COVID vaccine injury.

“I think long COVID is almost becoming a pejorative … but in reality, it’s that these people were not able to clear the consequences of their exposure to the spike protein,” says Dr. Vaughn.

“The UK has now banned puberty blockers—probably will ban cross-sex hormones too, is my prediction, in the next few years,” said Leor Sapir, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute.

He has been following the massive increase in children identifying as transgender and undergoing what’s known as “gender-affirming care” treatment—from puberty blockers to double mastectomies.

“[The World Professional Association for Transgender Health] commissioned systematic evidence reviews as part of the process of developing [Standards of Care Version 8]. When it found out that the evidence reviews, specifically for minors, were unimpressive and did not get them the results that they wanted—that would support their medical approach, they suppressed them. They basically instructed the researchers at Johns Hopkins University who were doing these systematic reviews to not publish them,” said Sapir. “Any way you look at it, WPATH greatly deviated from how responsible, trustworthy medical guidelines are supposed to be developed.”

His current area of focus is the pushback to gender interventions for minors, including state bans, lawsuits, and a landmark case now at the Supreme Court.

“This case has tremendous consequences for what’s going to happen in the 26 states that have banned these interventions in minors,” said Sapir.

“We’ve seen about 400,000 individuals being paroled into the United States … This is a historic abuse of the parole system,” says Chad Wolf, former Acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and now executive director of the America First Policy Institute.

What is the parole system and what is it meant for?

What are the root causes of the crisis on the Southern border? How are current policies exacerbating it? And how are cartels exploiting the crisis?

“We’re approaching about 500,000 unaccompanied children that have been trafficked across that border,” Mr. Wolf says. They have to pay the cartels or work off the debt when they get to America, he says. And the Biden administration did away with background checks and vetting of sponsors in America for such unaccompanied minors.

“It’s almost as though the federal government is the last link in that human smuggling chain. They’re facilitating that child going to a sponsor—and not knowing who that sponsor is. Are we putting that child in harm’s way or not?”

“Israel is fighting Iran on every front, so that America doesn’t have to.”

In this episode, I sit down with Prof. Eugene Kontorovich, one of the world’s preeminent experts on the Israeli–Arab conflict, and a professor of international and constitutional law at George Mason University. We get an update on the situation in Gaza and the current status of the war, and try to separate fact from fiction.

“Israel is ready to win this war. If Joe Biden had not told Israel, ‘Stand down. Don’t take out Rafah,’ this war would have already been over. Israel is weeks away from winning this war. There’s one last battle to be fought. And then Joe Biden has basically turned on a red light,” says Prof. Kontorovich. “Israel does not want a repeat of Joe Biden’s Afghanistan in Gaza, right, with Hamas taking over again.”

Is Israel on the verge of victory, or could this be another forever war? Is Biden helping Israel, or hindering it? And who should control Gaza after the war? Is a two-state solution really viable?

“Hamas shoots civilians trying to escape the conflict. Why? Because they need them in Gaza to serve as their own human shields,” says Prof. Kontorovich. “Every time President Biden says ‘We should have a Palestinian state,’ he’s teaching Hamas and other Islamic terrorists: The way to get what you want is murder babies.”

“Think about this: If you’re going to do an investigation into January 6, who’s one of the first people you would call to testify, even behind closed doors? FBI Director Christopher Wray—they never interviewed him. They never interviewed Steven D'Antuono, who’s in charge of the Washington Field Office who oversaw the entire January 6 criminal investigation.”

In this episode, I catch up with investigative journalist Julie Kelly to get an update on what we know, and still don’t know, about what happened on Jan. 6, 2021.

“Why did the January 6 Select Committee—why did they destroy evidence that they collected? Why are they hiding transcripts from witness interviews at the White House ... and at the Department of Homeland Security? How possibly could text messages belonging to more than two dozen Secret Service agents and officials, including the director, just vanish?”

What are the charges defendants are facing? What was the level of government and law enforcement involvement? Why hasn’t the mystery of the D.C. pipe bomb been solved?

“If you would have told me that two years later—I think that was when we recorded that interview for the [Epoch Times Jan. 6] documentary—that we would still be talking about people being rounded up, investigated, arrested, charged, and convicted now in early 2024, even I would have had a hard time, I think, grasping that that would be the reality. But here we are, in February of 2024. The Department of Justice is now on pace to arrest one January 6 defendant a day this year,” says Ms. Kelly.

“They’re trying to create this new asset class ... and they get to arbitrarily decide how much they are valued. So, it’s not that the marketplace is going to value them. It’s going to be a bureaucrat sitting in a room saying that the air you breathe is worth X, and the air I breathe is worth Y.”

Margaret Byfield was raised on a 7,000-acre ranch in Nevada. For nearly 30 years, her family fought the federal government to maintain ownership of their property and its resources. But ultimately, the government prevailed.

“The federal government was never supposed to own the land. In fact, that was one of the big conflicts after our Revolutionary War,” says Ms. Byfield.

Today, she is executive director of American Stewards of Liberty, working to protect the production of food, fiber, minerals, and energy from agendas that seek to erode individual property rights.

“Agendas like 30 by 30, well it’s going to really harm our food production. How are we going to feed our nation and the world? Well, that’s not a problem to them because their belief is there are too many of us and therefore this is just the way to get rid of part of us through starvation,” she says. “Either you have the right to own property, or you are property.”

We discuss Natural Asset Companies, ecosystem services, the United Nations’ sustainable goals, and other government land grabs being carried out in the name of conservation and protecting the environment.

“Fifty percent of the West is owned by the federal government. So, the East is privately settled, which is how our country was supposed to be settled,” says Ms. Byfield.

Earlier this week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Murthy v. Missouri, the landmark free speech case revolving around government communications with Big Tech companies.

“I left the court really scratching my head at some of the questions that the justices offered to the new solicitor general from Louisiana,” says Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, who was among those who first brought the case against the Biden administration back when he was Louisiana’s attorney general.

“Some of the questions seem to really leave you wondering whether or not the Court still has a real appreciation for the First Amendment,” Mr. Landry said.

Where is the case headed? What might the Supreme Court decide?

We also take a look at Mr. Landry’s first few months as governor and get his take on the Supreme Court allowing Texas to enforce a law on arresting suspected illegal immigrants.

“What I had been taught online and in high school was that this is actually a legitimate thought to have: Okay, maybe I should have been a gay man, maybe I’m trans.”

As a teenager, Laura Becker lived in an abusive household and suffered from depression, social anxiety, and substance addiction. She became convinced that transitioning would cure her of her trauma.

“It wasn’t framed to me as queer theory. When I was in middle school, like 14, it was framed as social justice. ... And I latched on to that immediately,” says Ms. Becker.

By age 19, she had come out as a transgender gay man using they/them pronouns and was prescribed cross-sex hormones after a one-hour consultation with a gender clinician. One year later, she had both of her breasts removed. Today, at 26 years old, she regrets those decisions.

“How do I exist as a female when I’ve mutilated my body? ... Like, what do I do now, because that didn’t work out? I didn’t transcend my body. I didn’t transcend the trauma,” says Ms. Becker. “I take responsibility for my delusions, but I don’t take responsibility for the medical neglect and the medical malpractice that occurred.”

Laura Becker is now an advocate for detransitioners. She considers herself “pro-human” and encourages practicing “radical acceptance” of the “necessary imperfections” that we are all born with.

“If we accept the burden of being alive, we must accept that there are necessary imperfections,” says Ms. Becker.

“There I was: no cash, no access to my credit cards, nothing. And I left on a Monday morning. I had other jobs that I had to take care of while I was there, and I had no money for gas. I had no money for lodging, nothing for food ... For what? What did I do?”

In 2022, Eddie Cornell was at home in New Brunswick, Canada, when he began to hear chatter of a trucker’s convoy making its way to Ottawa to protest the COVID lockdowns and vaccine mandates.

“And I thought, ‘I need to be there,’” says Mr. Cornell.

Little did he know that he would become publicly marked and have his bank account frozen.

“I felt betrayed. I’ve never been convicted of a crime, I wasn’t charged with a crime. And yet my government found it necessary to label me and freeze everything I own,” says Mr. Cornell.

Today, he is the co-founder of Veterans for Freedom, and has filed a civil lawsuit against the Trudeau administration.

“Citizens and ex-military people didn’t return any violence—nothing, not a punch, nothing. And to be beaten that way and treated like that. The world saw. They know what happened,” says Mr. Cornell. “Even the police intelligence units were saying, ‘This is the most peaceful thing that we could possibly imagine. There’s no violence here.’ So, the government tried to paint a very different narrative.”

We discuss the recent Supreme Court case, which ruled that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s use of the Emergency Act during the Freedom Convoy was unconstitutional. We also discuss Mr. Cornell’s current case against Mr. Trudeau, and what the media got wrong in their coverage of the truckers’ protest.

“The first rule of strategy is don’t assist your enemy. And of course, we violated that time and time again,” says Bradley Thayer, a senior fellow at the Center for Security Policy.

After aggressively building up and modernizing its military, China now has a larger navy than the United States.

How does the Chinese military compare to America’s overall?

What would an invasion or blockade of Taiwan look like for the United States?

Mr. Thayer and James Fanell, a retired U.S. Navy captain and former Director of Intelligence and Information Operations for the U.S. Pacific Fleet, are co-authors of the new book “Embracing Communist China: America’s Greatest Strategic Failure.” They are founding members of the Committee on the Present Danger: China.

How has progressive, communist ideology subverted America and America’s military?

Did the United States get distracted by smaller wars and lose sight of the bigger looming conflict?

“It’s not the government’s job to police the line between true speech and false speech. The Constitution doesn’t give our government that power. The government has the power to police the line between lawful speech and unlawful speech.”

Mark Chenoweth is the president and chief legal officer of the New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA), a nonpartisan civil rights group dedicated to protecting constitutional freedoms from government violations.

“Most people aren’t going to know why their speech was taken down off of the platform. They might assume that it was the private decision of Facebook, or X, or LinkedIn ... and it’s difficult to discover that it was actually the result of a government order,” says Mr. Chenoweth.

In this episode, we dive into the NCLA’s three lawsuits that have made their way up to the Supreme Court: Murthy v. Missouri (formerly known as Missouri v. Biden), Garland v. Cargill, and Relentless v. Dept. of Commerce.

“Agencies no longer look at the statute and say, ‘How do we best interpret this statute and apply it?’ Instead, they say, ‘How far can we push this and still get federal judges to go along with our ‘reasonable interpretation of the statute’?’ Well, that’s not a good dynamic to have in place. We need to get back to a world in which the agencies expect the judges to enforce the law as Congress wrote it,” says Mr. Chenoweth.

“Right when TikTok was negotiating a national security agreement with U.S. officials, a Beijing-based team surveilled the location of journalists who’ve been writing negative stories about TikTok. And the evidence at this point of their real national security threat is very clear.”

Brendan Carr serves as the senior Republican commissioner on the Federal Communications Commission. He has testified before Congress about the unique national security threat to America posed by the video-hosting service TikTok.

“Any entity that is inside of China, particularly if they’re a CCP [Chinese Communist Party] member, is compelled by a national security law in China to do the bidding of the CCP surveillance apparatus—and to keep it secret,” says Mr. Carr.

He argues that new legislation in the House of Representatives would force the decoupling of TikTok from its Chinese parent.

“[Americans] have a right to exchange information on that platform. But there is no constitutional protection that requires the government to let a national security threat like TikTok persist,” says Mr. Carr.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is stepping up its efforts to destroy a religious group in America that it sees as a threat to its rule, according to leaked information from multiple CCP insiders.

Tactics include lawfare, bomb threats, smear campaigns, impersonation attempts, and bribing U.S. officials. The Department of Justice sentenced a Chinese agent for trying to bribe an IRS agent to target practitioners of the Falun Gong spiritual discipline.

So what’s going on exactly? And why would this be a priority for the Chinese regime?

Today, I’m sitting down with Erping Zhang, president of the International Falun Dafa Association.

“I was drinking alcohol, I was smoking cigarettes, I was snorting cocaine, I was snorting crystal meth, and I was freebasing—all in the same day. And I was a complete wreck,” says Joe Polish.

A former addict turned successful entrepreneur, Mr. Polish is the founder of Genius Recovery, a nonprofit that’s trying to change how society approaches addiction, and Genius Network, a network of high-achieving entrepreneurs.

In this episode, we explore what’s broken in our society, what’s fueling the opioid crisis that is killing 100,000 Americans a year, and how to rebuild connection, community, and purpose.

“Don’t ask the question ‘why the addiction?’” he says. Instead ask: why the pain?

All addiction is a response to trauma, Mr. Polish says, and that’s where the focus of recovery should be.

“We’re up to over 1.6 million reports in VAERS in the context of these products ... The numbers keep going up,” says Jessica Rose, an immunologist and independent researcher.

She recently co-wrote a paper examining the data surrounding the COVID-19 vaccine adverse events. It was the first published paper to call for a global moratorium on the COVID-19 genetic vaccines.

But a few weeks later, the journal Cureus decided to retract the paper.

“We decided to change this paradigm from one day to another, and in one month, we have cut our budget in 5 percent of the GDP. It’s historical ... The President declared that Argentina was in zero deficit.”

In this episode, I sit down with Argentina’s Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich. We dive into the radical changes her country has experienced since Javier Milei was elected President.

“We are deregulating the economy. We are simplifying the economy. We are going to do a huge process of privatization,” says Minister Bullrich. “We have a very huge state. We have to work to have less state, and more private business. That is very important for Argentina.”

What are the principles that the new government is operating on? What economic and security policies are being implemented? And what are the biggest threats currently facing the Argentine Republic?

“Our biggest issue is the new networks—the linking of criminal organizations with rogue states [such] as Iran, or criminal and terrorist organizations [such] as Hezbollah,” says Minister Bullrich. “Hezbollah—they are businessmen or businesswomen that are there in the city. But they take criminals of Brazil, or Paraguay, or Argentina, and they pay them. So they do the work. They do smuggling, they do narcotrafficking ... and they send the money to Hezbollah in Lebanon.”

Dr. Robert Lufkin was once a self-described “product of the medical establishment,” with a fruitful career as a professor of medicine. He’s published hundreds of scientific papers, and has received millions of dollars in government funding.

But when, out of the blue, he was diagnosed with four seemingly unrelated chronic diseases—and told that he was going to have to be on medication for life—he started looking elsewhere for answers.

“It was through lifestyle changes that I was able to reverse these very serious and potentially fatal diseases, and get off all medications for them,” Dr. Lufkin says.

Today, Dr. Lufkin educates people far and wide on how to take charge of their metabolic health, and is in the process of building new healthcare institutions, including a managed care organization and an undergraduate medical school.

He is the author of, “Lies I Taught in Medical School: And the Truths That Can Save Your Life.”

“The growth in these diseases is unprecedented in our history, and they’re frankly not sustainable. Half the adult population is hypertensive, the growth rate in type 2 diabetes is going to approach 50 percent of the population soon. When that happens, all these chronic diseases are going to explode. And it doesn’t have to be that way, because this disease is reversible with, in most cases, lifestyle,” says Dr. Lufkin.

“Currently, the government spends 45 percent of GDP in Britain. You know, that is a pretty astonishing figure. It’s 36 percent in the United States, so you’re not that far behind. But in Britain, it’s 45 percent, and I don’t think that represents a proper free market economy.”

In this episode, I sit down with Liz Truss, former prime minister of the United Kingdom. We dive into the reality of mass immigration and net-zero climate policy in Britain and discuss how parliamentary powers are being supplanted by unelected bureaucracies.

“Even though we left the European Union, most of the European laws are still on our statute books. So, it’s a bit like getting divorced and still living in the same house as your ex-husband,” says Ms. Truss. “We’ve reduced carbon emissions, but that’s because we’re importing more goods from countries like China, who are building coal-fired power stations. So, there’s no net benefit to the planet. All that’s happened is we have empowered our enemies, and we’ve damaged our own industry.”

We also talk about the anti-Israel protests sweeping Britain, and Islamist threats targeting members of Parliament.

“There’s clearly a basis of self-loathing. The people who are on the streets chanting in favor of Hamas or saying ‘capitalism is evil’—they don’t like Britain. They don’t like the British way of life. They don’t like our values,” she said. “A lot of conservatives just think this is a normal political fight. It’s not a normal political fight. This is an enemy within our own country.”

In the pending $95 billion security aid bill, most of America has been focusing on U.S. aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. But few noticed that key funds for another region were removed—an action that could give communist China control of much of the Pacific.

“So, you had this left-wing, pro-communist and left-wing, anti-communist sections in our intelligence services. And then when the OSS was abolished, many went into the State Department. And they shaped the policies that we’re living with today.”

In this episode, I sit down with Michael Waller, senior analyst for strategy at the Center for Security Policy and the author of “Big Intel: How the CIA and FBI Went from Cold War Heroes to Deep State Villains.”

“There was a breaking point in the FBI and the CIA where they stopped serving American interests,” says Mr. Waller. “It ceases to serve the American interest if they view themselves as states within a state.”

We dive into how the Soviet Union influenced our intelligence and security agencies, and how President Barack Obama fundamentally altered their agendas.

“They’re making our own FBI agents and CIA officers what they call ‘agents of change,’ to change our culture. This is not legal. This is not what the intelligence community is for,” says Mr. Waller.

He also reflects on Tucker Carlson’s recent interview with Vladimir Putin.

“I think any journalist should go meet any foreign leader and get whatever information or disinformation he can out of him. As long as he knows it’s all an orchestrated setup on the other side,” says Mr. Waller.

Anti Poolamets is an Estonian historian and a prominent member of the Conservative People’s Party. He is an outspoken supporter of Donald Trump’s policies concerning Europe, and an equally fierce critic of Vladimir Putin’s expansionist ambitions and his invasion of Ukraine.

“Trump was a man with [a] backbone and [the] biggest supporter of Ukraine,” says Mr. Poolamets. “Trump was [the] first who gave lethal weapons to Ukraine.”

In this episode, Mr. Poolamets and I discuss Tucker Carlson’s recent interview with Vladimir Putin, whether the Russian president’s version of history stands up to scrutiny, and how the European Green Deal and the World Health Organization’s International Health Regulations are threatening the global economy and state sovereignty.

“We can’t give away our sovereignty, and the EU is becoming more and more federal. [The] Green Deal is simply destroying European economies, and this is like the Soviet Four-Year Plan,” says Mr. Poolamets.

“There are people—a non-trivial number of people—who teach in the academy, many of whom have tenure, who have obtained their credentials fraudulently. They have lied, they have cheated on their PhD, and that is an extraordinarily serious problem on multiple levels.”

As professor of philosophy at Portland State University, Peter Boghossian was known for challenging orthodoxies. Today, he uses his distinct “Street Epistemology” method to teach communication and critical thinking.

“There is something about giving people the tools to ask really good questions. But not only are we not giving them the tools so they don’t have the questions, but they’re force-fed one answer, and particularly to moral questions. And the consequence of that is it becomes an ideology mill, where the goal is to replicate the dominant ideology—whatever is morally fashionable,” says Professor Boghossian.

He is known for his role in the Grievance Studies Affair, where he co-authored a series of intentionally fraudulent papers that were published in well-known academic journals, exposing the corruption of scholarship in a number of disciplines belonging to the humanities.

“My guess to you is, you’re looking at 7-to-9 percent of dissertations in the humanities that are plagiarized. If I’m wrong, it’s not because there are fewer, it’s because there are far, far more,” says Professor Boghossian. “We have endemic corruption in our academic institutions. The only other question is what to do about it?”

“I think race is a very emotional issue with black America, and it can be very easily manipulated. And it has been manipulated for decades by people who use it to direct blacks to vote in a certain way.”

In this latest episode in our special series on the U.S. presidential transition, I sit down with Bob Woodson and Joshua Mitchell. Woodson is a civil rights activist and the Founder and President of the Woodson Center. Mitchell is a professor of political theory at Georgetown University.

“The partisan debate on race is driven by guilty whites who are seeking absolution from crimes they never committed, and entitled blacks who are seeking absolution from injustices they never suffered,” says Woodson.

What does Trump’s victory mean for black America? Will Trump be the first post-racial president? And what is the role of mediating institutions and what Woodson and Mitchell call “invisible knowledge” in revitalizing American communities?

“We have levels of despair and depression because the state has become this administrative behemoth, making citizen competence impossible,” says Mitchell. “We’ve got this invitation, literally, to return to the founders’ vision, where we have citizen competence. The only way you can have small government is if you have massive citizen competence.”

“The biggest challenge we’re facing is a moral and spiritual free-fall that is consuming people of all races and all colors,” says Woodson. “But we’re not going to be able to find the source of this solution if we are separated by race, and that’s why we must become post-racial.”

At a time when much of the performing arts seem to be on the decline, one company has experienced a meteoric rise.

In less than two decades, Shen Yun Performing Arts has grown from one to eight companies touring the globe simultaneously—each with its own live orchestra. Shen Yun now travels to 200 cities and performs in front of over one million audience members each year.

These artists are driving a restoration of authentic Chinese culture—yet they are banned in China.

In this special episode of American Thought Leaders, we get an exclusive, inside look at the world’s premier classical Chinese dance company—through the eyes of its artists.

How has Shen Yun achieved its remarkable success? What is the secret to its approach?

And why does the Chinese regime feel threatened by their performances?

Brothers Josh and Nick Alexander are evangelical Christians who have become known in Canada for taking vocal stances against COVID-era mandates and gender ideology in schools.

They were highly active in Canada’s Freedom Convoy and the Million March for Children, a walk-out protest against gender ideology. They’ve been arrested multiple times and faced major backlash for their activism.

Josh Alexander was suspended and ultimately banned from physically attending his Catholic high school after protesting against transgender individuals using the bathroom of their choice and saying that there are only two genders.

For years now, we’ve heard rumblings about COVID-19 vaccine shedding. Unvaccinated women talk of menstrual abnormalities after coming into close contact with vaccinated individuals. Some recently vaccinated mothers report babies experiencing bad reactions after breastfeeding. So what is this phenomenon? Is it real? And if so, what kinds of people are most affected?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Pierre Kory, co-founder of the FLCCC Alliance and former chief of the Critical Care Service at the University of Wisconsin.

He has been researching COVID-19 vaccine shedding, and he’s written a nine-part series on his Substack of what he’s uncovered thus far.

Note: mRNA genetic vaccine contamination in breastmilk was first identified by War Room/DailyClout volunteers searching through primary source Pfizer documents released under court order by the U.S. FDA.
