"It used to be big tech [vs] alternative tech…There was no in-between," says Minds co-founder Bill Ottman. But with Elon Musk releasing some of #Twitter's algorithms, will other big tech companies feel compelled to do the same to keep up? 👉PREMIERE 7:30pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0413BillOttman

“It’s a data brokering world.” Tech companies are mining & selling your data, says Minds co-founder Bill Ottman. But government regulation could easily overreach. So what can be done? "In the app stores, label apps that are surveillance-based and/or are funneling data to different territories around the world. The same way that Twitter is labeling media companies now—you could label apps in the App Store.” To draw an analogy, it's like how foods are labeled organic or non-GMO. We should do the same with our technology, Ottman says. 🔴PREMIERE at 7:30pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0413BillOttman

Why did #Twitter recently appear to censor #Substack? Does #ElonMusk actually want to buy Substack? “The speculation is saying that Elon blocked Substack for sort of a reality check for them to understand how much they are actually reliant on Twitter and their API's in an attempt to potentially negotiate the valuation.” - Bill Ottman, co-founder of Minds 👉PREMIERE 4/13 at 7:30pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0413BillOttman

"#Bourla could have said to our governments, 'Listen, we didn't test [the vaccine] on [transmission]. You better not push people to these vaccines with this argument.' He didn't do that." - Rob Roos 👉PREMIERE 7:30pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0411RobRoos

"Total contracts of the European Union: 72 billion Euros to buy vaccines. They bought 10 vaccines for every person in the European Union. So it's a huge amount of taxpayer's money, and we wanted to have Mr. Bourla [talk to] our committee." - Rob Roos 🔴PREMIERE at 7:30pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0411RobRoos

"I don't believe in THE science. Science should be questioned.

"Forget the idea of win-win. The Chinese use that expression a lot, but what they mean is we win twice. And you lose." From chemical warfare to economic warfare, Col. Grant Newsham, author of “When China Attacks,” breaks down the CCP's unrestricted warfare strategy to subvert and deplete America. 👉PREMIERE 7:30pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0408GrantNewsham

Col. Grant Newsham breaks down CCP chemical warfare and how the US should take advantage of communist #China’s greatest strategic vulnerability—its dependence on convertible currency. “You take the biggest—and even not the biggest—Chinese financial institutions and you cut them off from the US dollar network. Start with the People's Bank of China. Revoke its license to operate in the US for six months.” “Additionally, many if not most of China's elite have assets overseas…We should be seizing bank accounts,” argues Col. Newsham, author of “When China Attacks.” 🔴PREMIERE at 7:30pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0408GrantNewsham

"It is as clear a case of chemical warfare as you will find…In one year, America lost 70,000 people, many of these of military age. And this is just the ones who died." #Fentanyl from #China killed more Americans in one year than the Vietnam War killed in years, says Col. Grant Newsham, a retired marine officer and author of "When China Attacks" 👉PREMIERE 7:30pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0408GrantNewsham

"The gall that the #Biden administration has - to say that this is a more humane approach to the border, to immigration. It's a complete lie. It is not humane in the slightest, and it's avoidable." - Julio Rosas 🔴PREMIERE at 7:30pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0406JulioRosas

"When you go to fix your car, you find the best mechanic around, you ask neighbors, you get recommendations…Same thing. Don't just go to any [doctor]. Interview your doctor, decide if you share the same values. And if you don’t? Don’t go. … Find someone you trust." - Dr. Kat Lindley 👉PREMIERE 7:30pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0404KatLindley

"The tactics of totalitarianism…the state makes you fear something really bad. And then they isolate you, so you cannot discuss what's going on. And then they start telling [you], well, if you do this, I'll give you a little bit of that—until it gets to the point that you just can't do anything unless they give you permission." Dr. Kat Lindley on what she saw during the pandemic, from lockdowns to vaccine mandates. 🔴PREMIERE at 7:30pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0404KatLindley

"The Achilles' heel of the whole program is informed consent. It was not given…And even if this was EUA, an experimental [product], you still have to disclose to the best of your knowledge. And according to the documents, they did know lots of things when they were giving the vaccine." - Dr. Kat Lindley 👉PREMIERE TUES. 4/4 at 7:30pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0404KatLindley

"In America, the President can fire the Attorney General. In Israel, the Attorney General can fire the President, the Prime Minister. So, that is extraordinary.

"The United States is giving political support for the efforts to crush democracy in Israel. And by 'crush democracy in Israel,' I mean insulate the Supreme Court as a permanent, aristocratic, democratically unchangeable body.” Professor Eugene Kontorovich 🔴PREMIERE at 7:30pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0401EugeneKontorovich
