It would require the US to impose sanctions on foreign individuals who are complicit in China's murder-for-organs industry. It is now waiting to be introduced in the Senate. In this clip, Larry Liu, deputy director of the Falun Dafa Information Center, explains the significance of the bill.

"For me, making a record was really how you made a statement.” Mr. Ondrasik is back in the spotlight for his songs about the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack against Israel. “Many in the music business, particularly with Israel, have historically shamed our industry for all time because they're afraid to speak out with common sense, moral clarity,” Mr. Ondrasik says. “One thing that I think folks don’t realize, especially on the right, is how critical the arts are to changing culture.” We dive into his songwriting and look at how his music took him to war-torn Ukraine and Israel. We also get an exclusive, unplugged performance of two of Mr. Ondrasik’s hit singles.

Born in East Germany in 1949, he was recruited by the KGB while in college and sent to the United States. He spied for the Soviets for ten years before eventually escaping his handlers, as the Soviet Union was collapsing. “I was going to serve the righteous cause. I was going to help free all the oppressed masses in the world and help accelerate the establishment of the worker's paradise on earth. It's a very romantic belief that has taken hold again among some young people: All people are good and if they steal or do bad things, it's because of the circumstances. So, we just need to take the shackles off of the working class—the oppressed. And I believed in this, 100 percent,” says Mr. Barsky. Today, he is a proud American and the author of the 2017 memoir, “Deep Undercover: My Secret Life and Tangled Allegiances as a KGB Spy in America.” “A lot of my friends … they were not able to shed the remnants of that brainwashing. And I heard this a lot: You know we had a good cause. The reason that it failed was we had the wrong people at the top,” says Mr. Barsky.

I was willing to convert to Islam if that [would] save me from what I go through every day. And I was willing even to take the Arab names if that [would] make me be treated like a human being. But the third one, it was very difficult to take - to become their son. In my mind, even though I was a child, I have a mom who loved me so dearly and I have a dad. I have a wonderful family. I was kidnapped against my will. Nobody knows what happened to me. Now, how can I give away my identity? During [those] times, there is one word that I [knew]: Yes and yes and yes to everything. I cannot say 'no' to anything...even to the torture. I have to say yes to it. So, what I always [told] them [is] 'Yes, I will let you know. I will let you know.' I'm buying time, because I'm relying on two things: hope and faith." - Former South Sudanese slave and human rights activist #SimonDeng

Since the Chinese communist regime launched a nationwide persecution of the Falun Gong spiritual discipline 25 years ago, Falun Gong’s millions of adherents in China started creating secret underground print shops to expose the regime’s human rights atrocities. All across China, they secretly distribute flyers, DVDs, and brochures en masse, hang posters in public areas in the dead of night, and circulate software to their fellow Chinese so they can circumvent China’s internet blockade. Those arrested face years in prison—as long as 15 years. So who are these people? And why is their story critical to understanding China today? In this episode, I sit down with Larry Liu, deputy director of the Falun Dafa Information Center.

So, they would say to you, ‘You are a white man and therefore you are privileged. And therefore you belong to the “oppressor class.” I, as a person of color, belong to the “oppressed class.” And we are - you and I - locked in a Manichean struggle from now until the end of time that we could brand as ‘oppressor-oppressed.” And now, what that does actually is put us both inside of an inescapable prison, because this is all that we are. This is all that we have ever been in, and this is all that we will be. So, there's no escape valve from this sort of ideology or worldview. One has to dispense with that worldview entirely and see it for the reductive thing that it is. And not just a reductive thing, it's a failure to apprehend the awesomeness of the human experience.” - Chloé Valdary

The government troops [would] come and burn down the villages—kill whoever that they will find. … When I see what happened recently in Israel, where they went and burned down, and shot people—that's exactly what I experienced when I was a child.” When Simon Deng was nine years old, he was kidnapped from South Sudan and brought to the North. He was given to an Arab family as a “gift,” and enslaved for more than three years. “I'm here talking to you as a living proof of the slavery which still exists,” says Mr. Deng. 25 years ago, Charles Jacobs helped to liberate tens of thousands of slaves in Africa, and received an award from Coretta Scott King for his work. “We went to the slave redemption sites, and we talked to the survivors who were brought back. And they told us their stories,” he says. Today, Mr. Deng and Mr. Jacobs are cofounders of the newly-formed African Jewish Alliance, which raises awareness about the threat posed by Jihadism. “Hamas is no different than Boko Haram in Nigeria," says Mr. Jacobs. "It's one front in Israel, but it belongs to a global movement. And people need to know that.” Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times. *Big thanks to our sponsor for this episode Patriot Gold Group.

If you teach them how to fish, you're going to sell your fish there. But eventually, they're going to learn how to fish, and then they're going to catch their own fish. And then the government's only going to want the fish they catch to be sold to their people. And that's essentially where we are,” "Cut to today, some of our biggest competitors…not just in the PRC, but in the global market, are now Chinese competitors,” Fenton says. In this episode, he breaks down how the Chinese regime outsmarted Hollywood and American business.

Her alternative, called the “Theory of Enchantment,” first emerged from her work educating people about anti-Semitism and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. “They would say to you, ‘You are a white man, and therefore you are privileged. And therefore you belong to the ’oppressor class.‘ I, as a person of color, belongs to the ’oppressed class.' And we are—you and I—locked in a Manichean struggle from now until the end of time. There’s no escape valve,” said Ms. Valdary. “There are three principles to the theory of enchantment. [The] first principle is treat people like human beings, not political abstractions. Second principle is criticize to uplift and empower, never to tear down or destroy. And third principle is root everything you do in love and compassion.” We discuss concepts such as supremacy, identity, outrage, race, and religion. “We are a Protestant nation. Protest is our founding religion. And so, we are confronted with a great challenge, which is the challenge of growing up. We are a very young nation, and I think that all of these ‘culture wars’ are an invitation to engage in some self-reflection, collectively, and grow up,” said Ms. Valdary.

And now, it's the other way around. And it's because the doctors are being yelled at for not filing the form right or not coding something right. They're not accountants. That's not why they got into this. They got into this to hold the hand of the patient and help the person heal or prevent illness. And we've taken that power away from them. So, I like to remind doctors: they're the only one with any moral authority. They take the Hippocratic Oath, and that really means something. And we, as patients, are absolutely dependent on them because the pharmaceutical companies are beholden to their investors. They have a fiduciary responsibility to deliver returns - so do hospital systems, even academia. So, the only safeguard I see in the system is the doctor, who needs to be able to stand up and say, ‘You know what? If I put you on this drug, you're going to get these side effects, and then we're going to have to put you on that drug. And then you're going to have these side effects, and then we're going to put you on that drug. So, let's just try something different. Let's see if we can get 50 pounds off of you and how that goes. Then, maybe you won't need any of these.' That's a conversation I think we would all value and respect. And it's not happening to nearly the degree that it should be happening.” - Emily Kaplan

Imagine opening a newspaper and there's no masthead. You don't know who any of the editors are? There's no accountability for why this work got through or not?" In this episode, I sit down with Emily Kaplan. She is an investigative journalist, author, business leader, and passionate advocate for women’s health and for a return to what she calls “the roots of true scientific exploration.” "We're one of two countries where you can directly market pharmaceutical products to consumers," says Ms. Kaplan. Today, she is the co-founder and CEO of the Broken Science Initiative, an alternative approach to health and science that promotes predictive value, access to data, and prioritizing patient welfare over profit. "My sense is we're not going to fix these big systematic problems, but you can empower the individual to critically think about things and allow them to make better choices for themselves and their family. So, that's really the goal of the Broken Science Initiative," says Ms. Kaplan. We discuss various forms of scientific misconduct, touching on peer review, statistical manipulation, and the over-medicalization of childbirth. "The highest predictor of whether you're going to have a C-section or not is what hospital you deliver in. It's not you. It's not your doctor. It's the hospital," says Ms. Kaplan.

And if you kind of have the right intention, the right goal, it often just happens. I don't think Socrates invented the Socratic method. I think he discovered something that was already there." Back in February, high school teacher Warren Smith posted a routine video of an exchange he had with a student—an exercise in Socratic dialogue and critical thinking. Within a short time, the video went viral. Four months later, his life has dramatically changed. "When I look at that video, I never in a thousand years would have guessed that would have gone viral. And to me, that's indicative of a larger problem. The fact that there's that much hunger for logic and critical thinking and seeing such a transformation occur—there's so many presuppositions and unfair accusations and such lazy thinking out there that that is what went viral. Really?" Mr. Smith says. We dissect the viral video Mr. Smith recorded, and discuss his project to expand the Secret Scholars Academy. We also discuss his faith in God, views on higher education, and lessons he has learned from the Harry Potter series. "Whatever picture that paints is the picture that's painted. Who cares what they want to call it? It's just boats floating on the surface," says Mr. Smith.

In 1945, there were only 12 democracies on earth. Now there are almost 100 democratic countries on earth. So this period of US leadership has made the world safer, richer, and freer. …To the critics, I guess I'd say, what is the better system? Would it have been better if Nazi Germany won WWII? Would it have been better if the Soviet Union had won the Cold War? Would it be better if Communist China dominated the world today? And I think the answer to all those questions is clearly no. So then where does this skepticism of American exceptionalism come from?" American exceptionalism often gets a bad rap these days, but Matthew Kroenig and Dan Negrea, co-authors of “We Win, They Lose,” argue that the US-led world order is still the best system.
