“It is baked into the way that these schools operate to devalue academic achievement because they don't want a paper trail of how they're failing your kids,” says Luke Rosiak, an investigative reporter at the Daily Wire and author of "Race to the Bottom: Uncovering the Secret Forces Destroying American Public Education." Even before the pandemic hit, 66 percent of American 4th graders were scoring less than Proficient on the Nation’s Report Card assessment. As minority students fall behind, schools in America are abolishing standardized tests, A-B-C-D-F grading scales, and entrance exams. “In pursuit of equity, they have stopped measuring things. They started cooking the books. They started orienting everything around the lowest common denominator. And the result is really devastating for society,” Rosiak says. 👉PREMIERE 7:30pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/10416LukeRosiak 🔴 Start Your Free Trial (Code: Jan) 👉 https://ept.ms/FreeTrialJan

“I don’t know if these kids are going to grow up normally. I don't know if they're ever going to be able to challenge themselves and take risks when they're adults because they never did when they were younger.” Today, we sit down with Dr. Mark McDonald, a psychiatrist and author of “United States of Fear: How America Fell Victim to a Mass Delusional Psychosis.” The pandemic of fear was worse than the COVID-19 pandemic itself, McDonald argues. The ones harmed the most are children. They were bombarded for two years by incessant messaging—from parents, teachers, peers, television, and beyond. Going to school became dangerous. Children were told to stay home, stay safe, and avoid any risk and danger to themselves or others. Many have internalized the fears of their parents, argues McDonald. 👉PREMIERE 7:30pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/10414MarkMcDonald 🔴 Start Your Free Trial (Code: Jan) 👉 https://ept.ms/FreeTrialJan

“People have taken in the feeling, the experience of being afraid all of the time. And so even if they're told that they can be safe now without the mask, they still want to wear them. They insist on wearing them.” We sit down with Dr. Mark McDonald, a psychiatrist and author of “United States of Fear: How America Fell Victim to a Mass Delusional Psychosis.” The ones harmed the most are children.

"This is an app that tracks where you are, what your name is, what your social security number is, what all your identifiers are…what your income is, and if you're in financial difficulty." The Chinese regime can use #China's new digital currency as a weapon to surveil, corrupt, or blackmail Americans, says Kyle Bass, founder and Chief Investment Officer of Hayman Capital Management and a founding member of the Committee on the Present Danger: China. But the rollout of China’s e-yuan has gone largely unnoticed, “overshadowed by the #Russian invasion of the Ukraine,” Bass says. 👉PREMIERE 7:30pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/10412KyleBass 🔴 Start Your Free Trial (Code: Jan) 👉 https://ept.ms/FreeTrialJan

“Imagine if the Chinese government had access to every Tom, Dick, and Harry in America… and they have the ability to know where your bank account is, what it looks like, what your income is, and if you're in financial difficulty. Imagine if they could cross-run an algorithm that says, let's look for U.S. government employees that have Tinder that are short on cash—and maybe they're married—and we can corrupt them immediately.” #China’s new digital currency, the e-yuan, is the “single largest threat to the West in the last 50 years,” says Kyle Bass, founder and Chief Investment Officer of Hayman Capital Management and a founding member of the Committee on the Present Danger: China. In this episode, we discuss the dangers of the new e-yuan, the strengthening China-#Russia alliance, and why Bass believes the Chinese regime is actually intentionally crashing its housing market. 👉PREMIERE 7:30pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/10412KyleBass 🔴 Start Your Free Trial (Code: Jan) 👉 https://ept.ms/FreeTrialJan

"This biomedical security state apparatus…is going to be used for other purposes. There is going to be another public health crisis. There are social issues already in play that over the last year have been redefined as public health issues. #ClimateChange would be one obvious example."

"No one, not the government…nor the public or private institutions that are mandating vaccines, nor the company that produces this product, nor anyone else seems to be responsible if things go south or if harm is done." Medical ethicist Dr. Aaron Kheriaty on the rise of a "biomedical security state" and egregious violations of medical ethics he’s seen in these last 2 years. 👉PREMIERE 7pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/10409AaronKheriaty 🔴 Start Your Free Trial (Code: Jan) 👉 https://ept.ms/FreeTrialJan

“This welding of #PublicHealth with digital technologies of surveillance and control and the police powers of the state allows for intrusions on our privacy, on our bodily autonomy that are unprecedented in history.” I sit down with psychiatrist and medical ethicist Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, Chief of Medical Ethics at the Unity Project and fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center. He previously was a professor at UC Irvine and Director of UCI Health’s Medical Ethics Program before he was fired for refusing vaccination. “I think this biomedical security state apparatus that has been put in place during the pandemic will remain in place and will be redeployed for other purposes,” says Dr. Kheriaty. 👉PREMIERE 7pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/10409AaronKheriaty 🔴 Start Your Free Trial (Code: Jan) 👉 https://ept.ms/FreeTrialJan

“They hold in their hands the power to change thinking and behavior on a massive scale, the power—in close elections anyway—to pick the winner, in country after country after country.” Dr. Robert Epstein, a senior research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology. He is perhaps best known for leading studies looking at how tech giants influence human behavior, and conducting extensive monitoring projects of bias in Google products and beyond. According to his team’s research, Google shifted at least 6 million votes in the 2020 elections. In this episode, he breaks down his team's latest findings and the ways in which #BigTech companies secretly manipulate their users without leaving any paper trail. With Congress unable to come to any consensus on how to deal with Big Tech, he says he’s found another way to force them to stop. 👉PREMIERE 7:30pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/10407RobertEpstein 🔴 Start Your Free Trial (Code: Jan) 👉 https://ept.ms/FreeTrialJan

"There's 1200 pages of #Fauci financials that NIH admits to [having] that we have a federal lawsuit on. They're engaging in expensive litigation…to stop taxpayers from learning how taxpayer dollars are being spent." We sit down with Adam Andrzejewski, founder of @OpenTheBooks, about the lawsuit against the NIH for documents on Dr. Anthony Fauci’s financials. They are also investigating conflicts of interest at the #NIH and have demanded information on the roughly 1,000 NIH scientists, currently employed or retired, who receive royalties from third parties, such as pharmaceutical companies, for co-inventions. 👉PREMIERE 7:30pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/10402AdamAndrzejewski 🔴 Start Your Free Trial (Code: Jan) 👉 https://ept.ms/FreeTrialJan

“Fauci is the director of a sub-agency of a sub-agency of Health and Human Services. So how can he outearn everybody else at the federal level, including the President, including four-star generals in the United States military?” In this episode, we sit down with Adam Andrzejewski, the CEO and founder of the government watchdog organization OpenTheBooks.com, which tracks and publicizes government spending. In the last year alone, they filed over 47,000 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. His team has sued the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for documents on Dr. Anthony Fauci’s financials. They are also investigating conflicts of interest at the NIH and have filed a lawsuit demanding information on the roughly 1,000 NIH scientists, currently employed or retired, who receive royalties from third parties. 👉PREMIERE 7:30pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/10402AdamAndrzejewski 🔴 Start Your Free Trial (Code: Jan) 👉 https://ept.ms/FreeTrialJan

“New ideas always come from the fringe in science…We can't have science become a religion where there are dogmas.” In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Martin Kulldorff, an epidemiologist, biostatistician, and former professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. Kulldorff breaks down what he sees as the “power hubs” controlling policy, research funding, and career advancement in the scientific world. “Dr. Fauci sort of sits on the biggest chunk of infectious disease research money in the world. So it takes a bit of guts to contradict his view on pandemic strategy.” 👉PREMIERE 7:30pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/0331MartinKulldorff 🔴 Start Your Free Trial (Code: Jan) 👉 https://ept.ms/FreeTrialJan

"Defeatism, cannibalism, suicidal impulse, nihilism…it's destroying us…We have to have leaders who say: You know what? We don't have to be perfect to be good & we just need to be better than all the alternatives." In part two with Victor Davis Hanson, we dig deeper into what’s really going on with the Russia-Ukraine War—from talk of biolabs to ultra-right-wing battalions to President Biden describing a “new world order.” And while everyone is talking about a no-fly zone, many haven’t unnoticed that Turkey, a NATO member, has imposed what’s essentially a “no-float zone,” blocking Russian warship access to the Black Sea.
