British MP and former Home Secretary Suella Braverman argues the UK needs to return to a merit-based society and have only two recognized genders of male & female. "An unapologetic, robust approach to your southern border is exactly what we need on our southern border. We have a crisis when it comes to illegal migration in the United Kingdom,” she says. 👉PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0130SuellaBraverman

“This has been an open secret in these towns. The authorities have been aware. The teachers have been aware…Ultimately, they didn't want to be called racist, and they were fearful.” MP and former UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman on the UK's grooming gangs scandal: “There was an institutional cowardice on the part of the police, on the part of social workers, on the part of teachers, on the part of elected officials who knew about this…and did nothing,” she says. 🔴 PREMIERE 1/30 at 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0130SuellaBraverman

Cooper Davis on building a new model for helping drug-addicted individuals: "To people who will say this is utopian, this is unrealistic, I would point to the success of something like Alcoholics Anonymous. That's a peer-to-peer organization. It's also a movement. It changed how we understand addiction completely. It is non-hierarchical. It is decentralized. There are no power players. Anyone can start a meeting wherever they live. There is no reason that this shouldn't exist for a broader group of people.” 👉PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0128CooperDavis

"A 50/50 rebuttable presumption just means that the presumption should be that each parent is going to get equal time, or, more importantly, the child's going to get equal time with both of those parents [in custody cases]. The word 'rebuttable' means a judge still has judicial discretion. So, it's not a rubber stamp. The opposition always tries to say, 'Well, you're going to rubber stamp and force every kid to get 50/50, which means abusive parents.' No, no, no, no. A judge has what's known as 'determining factors' that they look at to find out: is a parent fit, willing and able? If not, that removes the presumption." - Mark Ludwig 🔴 WATCH FULL on @AmThoughtLeader:https://ept.ms/S0104MarkLudwig

"When the FDA is approving these drugs so that doctors can prescribe them, generally, it's on the basis of studies that run from six to eight weeks. Very rarely is anybody taking a psychiatric drug of any kind for eight weeks. People take them for years - sometimes decades,” says Cooper Davis, executive director of the Inner Compass Initiative. "Experiential expertise - expertise gained from your own life, is just as valid, and probably more useful in many, many cases, than clinical expertise.” 🔴 PREMIERE 1/28 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0128CooperDavis

“We told the Chinese government [in 2019] - and this goes to your point, 'So, you've got to stop the exports of finished fentanyl to the United States.' And the Chinese government effectively did that. Then, it started allowing the exports of the precursors to go into the United States. Between 2019 and 2024, [we are] begging China to please stop the exports of illicit fentanyl precursors to the United States through Mexico or whatever means. Finally, the Chinese say, in July 2024, 'I will stop the exports of three - not the hundreds of others, just the exports of three.' The US government says, 'Wow, victory! Great! Pat on the back'...Remember, China can ban it because it banned the exports of finished fentanyl into the United States." - Nazak Nikakhtar 🔴 WATCH FULL on @AmThoughtLeader: https://ept.ms/S0109NazakNikakhtar

We have a special guest today: The President of Paraguay Santiago Peña. Paraguay is a very unique country. It is one of only 12 countries in the world that recognize Taiwan, instead of communist China. It is also one of only six nations in the world, alongside the United States, that have moved their embassies from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. President Peña made the decision despite immense opposition from other world leaders. Since President Peña assumed office, Paraguay has seen strong economic growth. Last year, Moody’s awarded Paraguay an investment grade rating. In this episode, we sit down for a deep dive with President Peña to understand what drives him and the decisions he's made. 👉PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0125SantiegoPena

We asked the President of Paraguay Santiago Peña what he thinks about the uproar surrounding Trump's comments about the Panama Canal: His response: Many people fail to understand Trump's strategy. "[Trump] wants to know that the US is being treated fairly, that that asset that was built almost a century ago with the resources of the US…remains a viable source of prosperity and growth for the Americas and the region—and not a tool for the expansion of the Chinese trade." China’s influence on the canal, as with a lot of infrastructure in Latin America, puts international trade and U.S. trade at risk, he says. Paraguay is one of only 12 countries that recognizes Taiwan & not communist China. 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0125SantiegoPena

“If we discover that something causes autism or something causes obesity or something is causing all these things, that's going to disrupt multibillion dollar business models. So those people who are engaged in those multibillion dollar business models, they don't want to discover it. They don't want their ingredient or their activity to be implicated or proven to cause all these ailments, driving up our cost of health care.” “Bobby Kennedy's first task is to bring integrity back to scientific research across the board, and then we need to end the corporate capture of these federal agencies and that corruption,” says Sen. Ron Johnson. 🔴 WATCH FULL on @AmThoughtLeader: https://ept.ms/S1221SenRonJohnson

"People think that they might shoot a missile or something...I don't believe that's how China really operates. I think they would operate unconventionally, and most likely operate with and through their partners in the region...Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela." - Joseph Humire Following Trump's comments that America controlling the Panama Canal, the Panama Maritime Authority announced an audit of Hong Kong-based port operator CK Hutchison Holdings, which controls ports near the Canal. 👉PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0123JosephHumire

"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?" Trump is right about the Panama Canal, says Joseph Humire, expert on asymmetric warfare. The U.S. needs to have more transparency from Panama on China's activities, he says. "I think that's where the conversation is at today," he says. 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0123JosephHumire

"Science is a constant hypothesis. Science is asking taboo, unpopular questions. Science is researching areas we're told not to look into. That's science. I believe…that the Trump administration is going to go down in history books as a return to science. There has been an absolute war on science, where people say that we can't ask questions. People say that we should be locking down schools, wearing masks, and causing a generation of developmental issues with kids. The war on science has happened from the captured medical industrial complex that profits when people are sick." - Calley Means 🔴 WATCH FULL on @AmThoughtLeader:https://ept.ms/S0107CalleyMeans

“In America, we really don't have a health care system," we have a "disease care" system, says Dr. Jingduan Yang. "We allocate all resources trying to deal with consequences of problems or disease, rather than to prevent [them] and find the root causes." In contrast, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes prevention, Dr. Yang says, targeting problems before they become structurally damaging. He is a fifth-generation practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine and an integrative medicine specialist. 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0121JDYang

"Several European countries, after conducting systematic reviews of evidence, have backed away from these [gender] treatments, recognizing that, in fact, they lack credible evidence of benefits, and they have a real potential to do harm…This [SCOTUS] case has tremendous consequences for what's going to happen in the 26 states that have banned these interventions in minors." - Leor Sapir 👉PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0118LeorSapir

“There is this meme cryptocurrency called FART COIN, and FART COIN has a market cap right now that is higher than most companies in the S&P 500. It's ridiculous. So, people are just throwing their money on something that is a meme or a joke, trying to make a few bucks. That is not the hallmark of a healthy society. That's what happens when there's too much money in the system, when there's a bubble, when things are out of whack, and unfortunately, that is the scenario that has been created.” -Carol Roth 🔴 WATCH FULL on @AmThoughtLeader: https://ept.ms/S0102CarolRoth

Xi Jinping has ordered a new strategy to destroy the Falun Gong religious community overseas, according to whistleblower information obtained by Chinese dissident Yuan Hongbing. The primary tactics are legal warfare and disinformation campaigns using social media influencers and media outlets with no traceable ties to the CCP, according to leaked information. Notably, the New York Times—which has previously suppressed reporting on forced organ harvesting of Falun Gong adherents in China—has recently published 9 articles against the group. Joining us today is longtime China watcher Erping Zhang, president of the International Falun Dafa Association. 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0116ErpingZhang

"It's become a business too." Over 5000 minors underwent sex change surgeries between 2019 and 2023 and nearly 14,000 underwent sex change treatments, according to Do No Harm’s research into insurance billing codes. Total submitted charges added up to nearly $120 million. Dr. Stanley Goldfarb argues these procedures are essentially experimental treatments and have, in many cases, robbed children of normal lives. “There are young women who have lost their breasts…There are men who have lost their genitalia…There are complications associated with these medications as well.” Dr. Goldfarb is professor emeritus and former associate dean of curriculum at the University of Pennsylvania’s school of medicine and board chairman of Do No Harm, which recently released a national database on sex-change services at medical facilities across America. 🔴 WATCH FULL on @AmThoughtLeader: https://ept.ms/S1230DrStanleyGoldfarb

"The state comes second. The mediating institutions came first. Americans had to deal with building a world together without the state for 100 years or so. And so this habit of forming associations gets passed on generation to generation to generation. And what Bob and I are saying is it's still there. We don't have to invent anything. It's really there. Let's just go look for it." - Bob Woodson and Joshua Mitchell 👉PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0114JoshuaBob
