American Thought Leaders “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.

American Thought Leaders Thomas Haviland “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.

American Thought Leaders “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.

American Thought Leaders “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.

American Thought Leaders “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?” Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Facts Matter

American Thought Leaders “I’m cautiously optimistic that the court is going to continue to bullishly protect the First Amendment. We can talk through all these legal nuanced questions. But, at the end of the day...the First Amendment says that the government shall not abridge the freedom of speech. And we have shown a deliberate sprawling intent, not only to do it, but success in doing it.” In this episode, I speak with Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill to get an update on Murthy v. Missouri, the Supreme Court case on government censorship. “The government here is coming in and pressuring the [social media] platforms to take down what it has designated as ’misinformation‘ or ’disinformation.' So, it’s made itself the arbiter of truth. In fact, it created a whole department to do that,” says Ms. Murrill. We dive into the oral arguments we just heard and discuss standing versus merit, and persuasion or encouragement versus coercion. “They aren’t even acknowledging that they were doing anything wrong. They are just saying that all they were doing was engaging in persuasion. Well, I don’t know anybody when the FBI shows up who thinks that’s just persuasion. I mean, it’s coercive by nature,” says Ms. Murrill.

Facts Matter One of the major criticisms that people have upon coming to the United States is the quality of food. Especially Europeans, when they come to America, are oftentimes really surprised to learn just how ultra-processed the American diet actually is. But even though most people intuitively understand that processed foods aren’t as good for them as whole foods, up until now, there’s been a real lack of scientific studies to confirm that suspicion. There have been some studies that have linked ultra-processed food to poor health, but there hasn’t been a comprehensive review that can provide a broad assessment of all the evidence in this arena. And so, in order to bridge that gap, researchers conducted a study and recently published it in the pages of the British Medical Journal. It’s titled: Ultra-processed food exposure and adverse health outcomes: an umbrella review of epidemiological meta-analyses. This is the largest peer-reviewed study of its kind. Researchers took 14 different studies that have already been published in the past three years, and they conducted a meta-analysis on them to determine the link between ultra-processed foods and adverse health effects. And what they found was fascinating, so let’s go through it together.

Facts Matter You know that weird feeling when the U.S. Senate passes a seemingly routine spending bill, President Joe Biden signs it into law, and a government shutdown is averted—but then later, you learn that included deep inside this seemingly innocuous bill is a provision to track beef cattle? Specifically, included in this massive spending bill is a $15 million outlay for the purchase of electronic RFID ear tags for cows and bison. While it’s seemingly random, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) doesn’t see it that way. Instead, after learning of this provision, he issued a warning about how these ear tags might eventually be used to electronically track livestock across the country in an effort to limit the consumption of beef. Let’s unpack whether this is actually the case. No Farmers No Food DVD: https://www.epochtv.shop/product-page/no-farmers-no-food-documentary-dvd

Fallout Despite overwhelming evidence of adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccines and exaggerated claims of their effectiveness, the CDC is recommending elderly Americans get yet another shot. In this FALLOUT episode, Jan Jekielek and Robert Malone break down the litany of problems found with the COVID-19 vaccines, encapsulated in a recent landmark hearing on Capitol Hill hosted by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.).

American Thought Leaders “How is it factually and legally possible for Nancy Pelosi, the Capitol Police, and Mayor [Muriel] Bowser to reject the National Guard if President Trump didn’t previously authorize them? To me, that’s the whole case. And now that we have the receipts—we’ve always had them—now that they’re out there for the American people, maybe they can ask those hard questions and finally get to the truth.” In this episode, I sit down with Kash Patel, senior adviser to former President Donald Trump and author of “Government Gangsters.” We dive into the Initial Findings Report on Jan. 6 by the House Oversight Committee, which corroborates earlier claims that President Trump authorized 20,000 National Guardsmen in advance of the Capitol protest, a crucial fact that, Mr. Patel says, was deliberately withheld from the public by the Jan. 6 committee. “What Chairman Loudermilk has done,is exposed the fact that evidence was withheld by members of Congress, evidence was destroyed by members of Congress, evidence of innocence was hidden by members of Congress, and evidence was choreographed by members of Congress,” says Mr. Patel. “They just arrested a journalist who was inside the halls of Congress on January 6, reporting on January 6, and doing nothing else—per the video that’s been released. And they arrested and charged him federally. Are we now going to arrest journalists in theaters of war because it’s illegal for them to be there, who are reporting on the war? You know the standard is a very slippery slope.” Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

American Thought Leaders “The idea is to have a workfare society, where everyone who is able has the possibility to work, to join the labor market. And if you work and pay taxes, then you get a very generous state benefit or tax benefit system, lowering the money you should give back to the state,” says Miklós Szánthó. In this episode, I catch up with Mr. Szánthó at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington. He is the chairman of CPAC Hungary and The Center for Fundamental Rights. “The left tries to transform every and each human desire into a human right. If you feel yourself a lady and would like to give a legal status to that, it is in your right because that is your desire. That is your personal will. ... I would rather use [a] common sense approach to fundamental rights,” says Mr. Szánthó. “The progressives do think that every and each right, every and each institution is or are the construction of the people. So, if it is the construction of the people, ... then those institutions [and] those rights can be deconstructed. The family can be deconstructed because it is just a social institution. The so-called gender roles can be deconstructed or changed because those are just social habits and constructions.” We discuss Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s conservative principles, his labor and family policies, and how these have dramatically altered the social environment in Hungary. “The number of abortions in Hungary halved in the past 10 years without any type of modification, without any type of amendment to the respective law on abortion, because not only the behavior of the state changed, but the social circumstances, the social feeling, [and] the social environment changed into being a much more family-friendly country. ... It’s trendy, it’s fancy, [and] it’s sexy to have a family and to have more children.” Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

American Thought Leaders 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.

The Epoch Times With the FBI calling its J6 investigations "bigger than 9/11," Jan. 6, 2021 has marked a turning point in American history. In the three years since Jan 6, a historic criminal investigation into the incident has played out in a dramatic fashion across the country. As of now, J6 prosecutions have reached beyond the 1,000-case milestone, while the DOJ warned of more to come. In "The Real Story of Jan. 6 Part 2: The Long Road Home," Epoch Times journalist Joseph Hanneman reveals shocking evidence of how the wide-ranging prosecutions of Jan. 6 defendants have been handled with injustice. While "The Real Story of Jan. 6 Part 1" tells the real story of what happened that day, Part 2 will take an objective look at what has happened ever since—and the fine line between justice and political vengeance. With legal expertise, personal stories of J6 defendants, Capitol security footage, and first-hand testimonies of FBI whistleblowers, this documentary delves into the truth of J6 criminal investigations, and how they have changed American life. The skepticism of opaque government processes has never been more intense than it is now regarding Jan 6 defendants, whose lives have never been the same. How are they being treated in court, in jail, and in the public eye? Are the sweeping prosecutions a justified cause? What does it mean to our constitutional rights and the future of this country? What do the exclusive Capitol security tapes reveal about the full picture of January 6? After three years of investigation by The Epoch Times, we've peeled back the countless layers of Jan. 6 to expose injustices and champion stories. We take a closer look at some of the injustices done in the prosecution process, including depriving defendants of fair due process, long-term pretrial detention, the abuse of SWAT raids, advancing felony charges without substantial criminal evidence, mistreatment in jail, and more. All of the above marks a turning point in our justice system. What does America look like in the post-Jan 6 era? How is the government using J6 as a springboard to inflate its "domestic terrorism" probe—and why? And more importantly, how do we heal as a nation?

American Thought Leaders "We were bullying people into these concepts. 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.

Facts Matter In July of 2021, a condition known as "Long Covid" was officially added as a recognized condition which could qualify as a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act. And ever since then, whether or not "Long Covid" was a real thing or not, has been debated extensively in the public sphere. On the one hand, you have the general medical establishment acknowledging that it does exist - whereas, on the other hand, you have people who are incredibly skeptical, saying that long Covid is nothing more than a manifestation of hypochondria. However, for today's discussion, let's set that debate aside, and go along with the medical establishment viewpoint that Long Covid does exist. According to the CDC, Long Covid arises in people following a Covid-19 infection. And they claim that getting vaccinated is a good method of preventing Long Covid. However, according to a new study just published on the NIH website: being vaccinated with 2 shots of the Covid vaccine, actually dramatically increases a person's chance of getting Long Covid. Let's go through the details together.

American Thought Leaders "They are advancing messenger RNA for RSV, for Epstein-Barr, for influenza. This biopharmaceutical complex appears to be hell-bent on messenger RNA technology, no matter how unsafe it is," says Dr. Peter McCullough. In this episode, we take a look at the latest evidence and research around the COVID-19 vaccines and mRNA vaccine technology, from ribosomal frameshifts to cancer risks. In a further development, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton recently sued Pfizer, accusing the drugmaker of exaggerating the effectiveness of its COVID-19 vaccine.

Facts Matter A recent poll found that in the 2020 election, 1 in 5 people who voted by mail committed some type of voter fraud. And that is, by the way, according to these people's own admission. The details of this poll are wild - let's go through it together.

Dr. Ryan Cole: How DNA Contamination May Explain Post-Vaccination Rise in Cancers, Autoimmune Diseases, and Clots American Thought Leaders In this episode, Dr. Ryan Cole breaks down what we know about DNA contamination in the COVID-19 genetic vaccines, why it's significant, and how it may be related to the rise in cancers and autoimmune diseases. "My concern isn't just these COVID shots. My concern is this entire technology. A lipid nanoparticle in and of itself is an unproven product … They're trying to create them for RSV, and for flu, and for many other pathogens. It still takes those little gene sequences any and everywhere in the body," says Dr. Ryan Cole.

Facts Matter Over the past three years, 11 states have adopted constitutional carry, challenging the narrative of widespread gun control support. However, simultaneously, the federal government, particularly the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), is tightening gun restrictions. The ATF is conducting warrantless surveillance, tracking Americans' financial data and gun purchases, citing reasons like low income and legal firearm transactions for surveillance. They've also embarked on door-to-door campaigns to confiscate certain gun parts reclassified as illegal, like reset triggers for AR-15 rifles. While states expand gun rights, the ATF's actions have raised concerns about individual privacy and government overreach. This creates a paradox where state-level gun rights grow while federal-level regulations tighten.

American Thought Leaders "When 2020 unfolded, I could see where this was headed. I actually said to my husband in early January, 'Okay, we're here. They're finally going to really go for it. They're going to use this as an opportunity to coerce and force vaccinations.'" Over two decades ago, Leslie Manookian was in London working in finance, when she unintentionally caught a glimpse of the dark side of the pharmaceutical industry. "He sat down and, sitting across the table from me, he says 'Listen, in very, very rare instances, people have died from the drug.' And he said, 'The bad news is, the FDA is going to make us put a black-box warning on our packaging. The good news is: We still think we can do $7 billion in peak sales,'" says Ms. Manookian. "And I just thought, 'Oh my gosh. This is the reality of what I'm doing, and I'm playing for the wrong team.'" Today, she is founder and president of the Health Freedom Defense Fund. She has filed numerous lawsuits against the government to ensure bodily autonomy for all Americans, including the landmark 2022 case in which a federal judge struck down a nationwide mask mandate for travel. "The administrative state is all of these federal agencies that are headed by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats. And the whole administrative state sits underneath the executive branch of government. It was never envisioned by our founders," says Ms. Manookian."

American Thought Leaders "If you remove enough farmers to save the planet, you might not have any food. So, that's what we're trying to avoid—having another Great Leap Forward situation." Roman Balmakov is a reporter at The Epoch Times, where he hosts the show "Facts Matter." He is also the director and presenter of a new Epoch TV documentary: "No Farmers No Food." "What I really want to do with this documentary is equip people with a language and a nuanced view of things, so that when they hear a politician speak or they hear a news report or some kind of policy being proposed, they go, 'Wait a minute, I think I know what's behind this. I think I know what this language really means, and I think I know where this leads to,'" says Mr. Balmakov. We discuss the United Nations' Agenda 2030, how it is impacting farmers throughout the world, and its corresponding plans in the United States at both the state and federal levels. "One of the biggest manifestations in the U.S. is something called Agenda 30x30. And this is the plan to put 30 percent of our land into conservation by the year 2030," says Mr. Balmakov. "It's underway. It was implemented by the Biden administration six days after he took office. And he's allocating something like $900 million per year for the BLM—the Bureau of Land Management—to go out and to either acquire this land or to have farmers and landowners put conservation easements on that land."

The Epoch Times "No Farmers No Food: Will You Eat The Bugs?" is an Epoch Original documentary exposing the hidden agenda behind global "Green Policies," the untold stories of farmers forced out of business, the disruption this will have on our food supply, and why edible bugs are suddenly being pushed to the fore as a "Global Green Solution." EpochTV program "Facts Matter" host Roman Balmakov investigates the rapidly changing landscape of our global food source—the farming industry—through interviews with farmers in The Netherlands, Sri Lanka, and the United States. This is the next global crisis that is being ignored by the world's media.

American Thought Leaders "What clinicians have been seeing," says Dr. Harvey Risch, "is very strange things: For example, 25-year-olds with colon cancer, who don't have family histories of the disease—that's basically impossible along the known paradigm for how colon cancer works—and other long-latency cancers that they're seeing in very young people." Dr. Risch is Professor Emeritus of Epidemiology in the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at the Yale School of Public Health and Yale School of Medicine. His research has focused extensively on the causes of cancer as well as prevention and early diagnosis. We discuss the rise of what are called "turbo cancers" and what may be causing them. "Some of these cancers are so aggressive that between the time that they're first seen and when they come back for treatment after a few weeks, they've grown dramatically compared to what oncologists would have expected for the way cancer normally progresses," Dr. Risch says.

American Thought Leaders "We're already seeing early deployment of the same strategies. The key question is: will the populace tolerate it?" asks Dr. Robert Malone. In this episode of "ATL:NOW," we sit down with Dr. Robert Malone to discuss information warfare, the new COVID variants circulating, newly revealed hidden data on breakthrough infections, and whether or not we will see a return to the same draconian COVID policies we've experienced over the last three years. "In a way, we're about to have a social experiment. What has the American public learned over the last three years?"
