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.

This was a propaganda message for [the] American public first." 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.

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?” Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times. 🔴 Try EpochTV for 25 cents per week: https://ept.ms/3LG4rxt ------------------------------------------------- © All Rights Reserved.

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.

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.

I saw a lot of some of the smartest doctors in my group basically retire early, leave, or go into health tech. There are people that have gone into different areas in terms of autonomy, creativity, increasing their wages, but the actual clinical practice of medicine continues to have been marginalized.” Dr. Carrie Mendoza is an emergency medicine physician and an advocate for the depoliticization of health care and education. “The detransitioners … There aren’t services for them … There's not even a billing code. If you don't have a billing code, you can't be in the insurance stream, right? So, you’re kind of like a non-existent person in the medical world. But yet, these are young kids who've had surgeries, or some now need hormone replacement because they've had their ovaries removed,” says Dr. Mendoza. For years, Mendoza has been tracking the transformation of clinical medicine and the doctor-patient relationship. “It's written into regulations that the hospital wouldn't get paid if their scores weren't at a certain number. And so, then the pressure rolls downhill,” she says. In this episode, we dive into the impact of the administrative state on medicine and health care, and reflect on the opioid crisis and its similarities to the social contagion of transgenderism sweeping the youth today. "The detransitioners are like the people that overdosed and were harmed by the opioids,” says Dr. Mendoza.

They were trying to reach out to my employers, or past employers, to make sure I was unhireable … People were attempting to dox me. So it just really spiraled beyond anything I've ever experienced,” says Ms. Brodsky. In this episode, we dive into her new book, “No Apologies: How to Find and Free Your Voice in the Age of Outrage,” and discuss her views, as a Canadian, on the recent federal court ruling against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. “I've been a liberal voter. So, I'm the Trudeau target demographic, although I wasn’t a huge fan. And I’ve even voted left of that, at a certain point. But the idea that you can just ignore a huge segment of your population and just paint them as evil and racist, and labels that didn't even make sense that he gave them, it was very terrifying to see. And I went from not maybe liking him very much—because he was very virtue-signally, and I don’t think he was particularly smart—to really actively being afraid that he had this authoritarian streak,” says Ms. Brodsky. <em>Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.</em> 💛 Support us to fight for the truth 👉https://donorbox.org/american-thought-leaders Find out where you can watch us on cable TV: https://www.ntd.com/tv-providers.html #KatherineBrodsky #CancelCulture #RighteousBullies - - - The Cost of Staying Silent in the Face of Bullying Mobs: Katherine Brodsky

The majority of people dying from fentanyl-related overdoses now are taking what they think is a fairly innocuous prescription drug like Xanax, and they have no idea it’s been laced with fentanyl, he says. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) says seven out of ten pills seized by the DEA have a deadly dose of fentanyl. “You take that wrong pill for the first time, and your life is over,” Brown says. Now he’s global director for counter-narcotics technology at Rigaku Analytical Devices, which produces devices that can identify narcotic substances. “In the 60s and 70s, drug dealers were concerned about killing their clients, because they didn't want to kill their clients. But the client base today is so vast and diverse that they can lose 100,000 and still make hundreds of millions of dollars,” Brown argues. In this episode, he breaks down this new drug cartel business model, how the supply chain works, the role of Chinese money laundering proxies, and what he believes it would take to turn the situation around. 💛 Support us to fight for the truth 👉https://donorbox.org/american-thought-leaders Find out where you can watch us on cable TV: https://www.ntd.com/tv-providers.html #Opioids #Fentanyl #Addiction - - - How Drug Cartels Infiltrated the Prescription Drug Market with Fake Pills: Michael Brown

What media literacy and organizations like the News Literacy Project [are doing is] brainwashing children to not listen to independent journalists or organizations like Epoch, or like what Chris Rufo is doing, ... and to instead only go back to the mainstream media.” In this episode, I sit down with Alvin Lui, a bona fide magician-turned-parental rights advocate, to understand the latest woke programming making its way into K-12 education. “The Biden administration just had this agency that’s now proposing to do home visits to parents who are homeschooling their kids—for parents who don't believe in the ideology—because the children might be abused at home, because the parents don't believe that they can be born in the wrong body. So that's the next wave. That's the next move,” says Mr. Lui. He is the founder of Courage Is a Habit, which provides practical tools and resources to counter woke indoctrination in schools. “We very rarely say that we're going to fight for someone's children. We always say we're going to teach you to fight for yours, because that is every parent's God-given responsibility,” says Mr. Lui. “‘Responsible decision-making’ means something very different to parents than what these ideologues are doing in schools. They use your vocabulary, not your dictionary.” Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times. 💛 Support us to fight for the truth 👉https://donorbox.org/american-thought-leaders Find out where you can watch us on cable TV: https://www.ntd.com/tv-providers.html #AlvinLui #MediaLiteracy #ParentalRights - - - The 'Media Literacy' Trojan Horse: Alvin Lui on Woke Indoctrination

And then down the street from this Al Udeid Air Base is Hamas, the Taliban, al Qaeda financiers, ISIS financiers … it is a truly bizarre arrangement.” Dr. Jonathan Schanzer is senior vice president of research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. He’s also a former terrorism finance analyst at the U.S. Treasury Department, and the author of several books on Islamic extremism. “The Muslim Brotherhood is one of the largest, if not the largest, grassroots political and religious organizations in the Middle East, and it is the cornerstone for just about every radical ideology that we have seen and faced over the last two decades since the 9/11 attacks,” says Dr. Schanzer. We discuss the role that Qatar has played in international geopolitics, commanding vast influence campaigns in the West and funding an array of terrorist outfits in the East. “The Qataris have been able to sustain it with a massive amount of lobby money and investment here in the United States, and so some of its greatest proponents are the Pentagon and the State Department. And they've gotten to the point where it’s almost as if they can do no wrong—until 10/7. That's when it, I think, began to become clear to the average American that the Qataris are playing both arsonist and firefighter. They spend $200 million a year propping up Hamas in the Gaza Strip. They give Hamas headquarters in Doha. And then as soon as the crisis hits, they are trying to negotiate between the United States and Israel and Hamas, pretending to be a good-faith actor. But at the end of the day, I think we all have realized that they are advocating first and foremost for Hamas.” Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times. 💛 Support us to fight for the truth 👉https://donorbox.org/american-thought-leaders Find out where you can watch us on cable TV: https://www.ntd.com/tv-providers.html #JonathanSchanzer #TerrorFinance #Hamas - - - How a Tiny Gulf Nation Is Waging a Massive Information War on the West: Jonathan Schanzer

But what's really going on? Lies, deception, and physical child abuse.” Chris Elston was living a normal life as the father of two girls in the suburbs of Vancouver, Canada, when he became aware of what he calls the “greatest child abuse scandal in modern medicine history.” “And the only thing I could do was to have some signs made and go outside,” he says. Over the last few years, Billboard Chris, as he’s commonly known, has had conversations about gender ideology with tens of thousands of people on the streets of cities across North America. He’s also been assaulted by gender activists close to 40 times—including one case in which his arm was broken. “The actual cure, historically, for gender dysphoria, is puberty itself,” says Mr. Elston. “These puberty blockers, combined with the cross sex hormones, are sterilizing children. They’re sterilizing thousands of autistic kids. And we're supposed to be the bigots who are speaking out against this? It's total madness." We discuss the taboos and developments around gender and what Mr. Elston has gleaned about this topic from his conversations with ordinary people on the street.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Michael Nehls, a molecular geneticist, physician, and author, most recently of “The Indoctrinated Brain: How to Successfully Fend Off the Global Attack on Your Mental Freedom.” Dr. Nehls advocates for a strong “mental immune system.” His studies look at the critical portion of our brain known as the hippocampus, which processes and indexes memories. "But the sad thing is that in our modern society, it doesn't grow. It shrinks. ... And Alzheimer's is actually a result of the shrinking process," says Dr. Nehls. "Your life experience, which makes up actually your individuality, is replaced by essentially a commodity—what everybody learns [from] the news—and it's replaced. And you are left as a human being [who], at the extreme stage, is only remembering the narratives that would create fear and sorrow." "What inflammation does is it actually shuts down the production of nerve cells in the hippocampus," says Dr. Nehls.

It was an ideological bullying across the medical spectrum. And as you pull out of medicine, you see this in the schools, in journalism, in peer-reviewed publications—it's everywhere.” In 2018, Jamie Reed began working as a case manager at a pediatric gender center. But after witnessing firsthand the irreversible effect that "gender-affirming care" was having on children, she decided to speak out. “At the end of the day in these centers, nobody was the responsible one. So, the therapists would write a letter thinking that the endocrinologist was making the decision, the endocrinologist would say, 'But the therapist wrote the letter.' And then they would all go and say, 'But the parents are making the decision,'” says Ms. Reed. She was recently instrumental in Missouri state legislation to extend the statute of limitations for those harmed by gender treatment. That fear of liability, claims Ms. Reed, was enough to close her former gender clinic. “I was complicit, I worked in an industry that was harming children. And the thing that I have to grapple with every day is making amends for that and trying to address the wrongs that I participated in,” says Ms. Reed.

This is a long time ago, long before the Taliban. And the airport official just smoothly took my American passport away and said, ‘No problem, madam. We'll return it to your family.’ Never saw it again. And then I discovered that my father-in-law had three wives and 21 children.” Phyllis Chesler was born into a Jewish-American family. In 1961, at just 20 years of age, she traveled as a new bride with her husband to Afghanistan, where she entered into a traditional, Muslim household and was quickly stripped of her rights, seen as the property of her male family members. After finally escaping back to the United States, she became what she calls a “politically-incorrect feminist” who advocates for the rights of women and girls, and speaks out against “faux feminists” in the West, who have failed to support the Oct. 7 victims of Hamas's rape and sexual assault, and remain silent on the gender apartheid afflicting the Arab–Muslim world. “She called me up one day, maybe a year later, and said, ‘Do you want to help rescue girls and women from Afghanistan?’ I said, ‘I've been waiting for this call my entire life.’ And we did. That’s what we did. It was a group of grassroots feminists who undertook that holy task, and we got 398 out with no help from the government,” says Dr. Chesler. “Israel is fighting the West's battle by itself—it really is—for the kinds of freedoms from tyranny that the West has been standing for, was founded for, and is now not holding on to.” Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times. 💛 Support us to fight for the truth 👉https://donorbox.org/american-thought-leaders Find out where you can watch us on cable TV: https://www.ntd.com/tv-providers.html #PhyllisChesler #WomensRights #GenderApartheid - - - Phyllis Chesler: Gender Apartheid and the Silence of ‘Faux Feminists’

From blackmailing theaters and governments to slashing company bus tires, the Chinese communist regime has gone to extreme ends to subvert Shen Yun, a New York-based performing arts company. As Shen Yun launches its 2024 world tour, I caught up with Mr. Madsen and Shen Yun conductor Ying Chen to learn a little more about their story, their mission, and how they’re defying the Chinese communist regime’s global censorship campaign. 💛 Support us to fight for the truth 👉https://donorbox.org/american-thought-leaders Find out where you can watch us on cable TV: https://www.ntd.com/tv-providers.html #ShenYun #China #ShenYunPerformingArts - - - An Inside Look at Shen Yun–And How It’s Defying the CCP’s Global Censorship Campaign: Jared Madsen and Ying Chen

In fact, the Berkeley hippies—now boomer professors—are afraid of this illiberal radical left that seems to want to cancel, if not kill them, for having divergent views,” says Mr. Shapiro. We discuss the limits of free speech, when it veers into misconduct or harassment, and how to balance the 1st amendment with Title VI and other civil rights laws—especially on college campuses. “A lot of what's been going on in the last couple of months is not even speech to begin with. You do not escape criminal liability for, say, public urination on a building, just because you're saying, ‘I'm being expressive in showing my displeasure for the organization that inhabits that building,’ or tearing down posters off private property because 'I'm expressing my disdain for what those posters are saying.' No,” says Mr. Shapiro. He argues that it is not the laws—not criminal, civil, federal, or state—nor is it the university policies at most places that are to blame for what we're seeing today. Rather, it is their uneven enforcement. “MIT famously, even after admitting that some students violated their rules on blocking access to buildings, then said, ‘Oh, we're not going to punish those students, because a lot of them are foreign and they're here on student visas.’ And it turns out, if you punish them for these kinds of violations, they lose their visas and they have to leave the country. And so, in effect, MIT has created a system where foreign students can harass and intimidate, but American students can't,” says Mr. Shapiro.

Oakland is different. Oakland is much more opportunistic, more entrepreneurial, if you will. I think it’s mostly just kind of self-organized crews of thieves who just drive around doing crimes: dipping, which is car break-ins, armed carjackings, home invasions …” Leighton Woodhouse is an investigative journalist, documentary filmmaker, and a native of Berkeley, California. He has been documenting the "street addiction crisis" engulfing the Bay Area, and the political culture and policies fueling it. “We don't arrest people, and we certainly don't send them to mandatory treatment. And what it means is that we're just allowing the addiction to continue to consume them, because we haven't forced them into sort-of that moment where they have to choose: Am I going to fight this addiction, or am I going to spend the next 10 years in prison? It takes that kind of a choice to break through the fog of addiction, and we're not giving people that opportunity anymore,” says Mr. Woodhouse. Mr. Woodhouse is also the co-founder of the "Public" publication on Substack with Michael Shellenberger, and a key investigator of the Twitter Files. In this episode, we discuss the limits of free speech and dive into the Bay Area ideology of left-wing libertarianism. “Harm reduction has evolved into something much more—in my view—monstrous, where literally encouraging people to quit using drugs is seen as oppressive. It seems somehow, like 'how dare you judge a drug user?’” says Mr. Woodhouse.

And I’ve been to the villages that have suffered an attack from the Islamist Fulani herdsmen, and homes are still burning.” In this episode, I sit down with Baroness Caroline Cox, a member of the British House of Lords and founder of the Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust. “We have a mandate to heal the sick, feed the hungry, care for the oppressed … Ask God, each one of us, what He wants us to do to fulfill that mandate,” says Baroness Cox. We survey the Baroness’s humanitarian work throughout the globe, and discuss the current political conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia, which has recently escalated into a dire situation. “I became so concerned about what was really happening to the people from Armenia in this little land of Nagorno-Karabakh, that that began my engagement with that whole area,” says Baroness Cox. “The Armenians are in desperate need of humanitarian aid. All the ones that have had to flee, 100,000 from Nagorno-Karabakh into Armenia, they've had to leave everything behind.” Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times. 💛 Support us to fight for the truth 👉https://donorbox.org/american-thought-leaders Find out where you can watch us on cable TV: https://www.ntd.com/tv-providers.html #BaronessCox #ArmenianRefugees #NagornoKarabakh - - - 'Heartbreak Land’: Baroness Caroline Cox on Going Where Even the Red Cross Won’t Go
