"You had the teachers unions lobbying the CDC to make it more difficult to reopen schools in-person so they can hold children's education hostage to secure multiple multibillion-dollar ransom payments."
At the FreedomFest conference in Las Vegas, I sat down with Corey DeAngelis, the national director of research at the American Federation for Children and executive director of the Educational Freedom Institute.
“The school system is a massive monopoly that has no incentive to spend that money wisely,” DeAngelis argues.

"If the government coerces or works with big tech [to censor information]…then big tech now becomes a government actor and is subject to violating citizens' constitutional rights."
Tonight on American Thought Leaders, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry breaks down his lawsuit against #BigTech.
"Last week, the judge in our case granted our motion for discovery. So the subpoenas have gone out…[Government officials are] going to have to send us communications between them & the platforms," Landry says.
“I think we're going to find… a treasure trove of information.”

“The government was actually engaged—and the White House—in directly communicating with #BigTech on stories and information that they either wanted suppressed or put out,” says Louisiana attorney general Jeff Landry.
One of the most assertive attorney generals in the country, Landry has filed a number of lawsuits against the Biden administration over big tech censorship, the Biden administration’s Disinformation Governance Board, COVID mandates, illegal immigration, and election integrity.
Tonight on American Thought Leaders, Landry breaks down the lawsuits he’s currently leading and where he seems them heading.

“Children are either being blackmailed, groomed…or extorted/sextorted to making this content, and it is probably by far the biggest threat right now when we're talking about the sexual exploitation of children,” says Eliza Bleu, a trafficking survivor and advocate.
She shares her story and her work to curb the proliferation of child sexual abuse materials on platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
“Grooming, in my case, looked like an abuser finding out my vulnerabilities. He knew I wanted to be famous. He knew I wanted to get out of the farm life that I was growing up in.”
At the FreedomFest conference in Las Vegas, I sat down with Eliza Bleu, a child sex trafficking survivor. Now she’s advocating for the many children being exploited for profit online.
“Children are either being blackmailed, groomed … or extorted, sextorted to making this content, and it is probably by far the biggest threat right now when we're talking about the sexual exploitation of children,” Bleu says.

"They knew what they were doing when they destroyed hydroxychloroquine. They knew what they were doing when they destroyed ivermectin. And they knew what they were doing when they were burying adverse event data around the efficacy and safety of the vaccines. And I want that truth to come out."
Dr. Pierre Kory talks with Jan Jekielek on this episode of #ATL about "regulatory capture:" what it means, what its consequences are, and how to try to correct and defend ourselves against it.
"We cannot let industry profiteers guide public health policy."

"Of course I'm using unproven therapies. Show me what's proven. There's no organized effort to try to identify, in a controlled fashion, what's working. And so we're left trying to doctor the way old-school doctors did: by observation, experience, knowledge of pathophysiology and knowledge of pharmacology."
Dr. Pierre Kory, a pulmonary and critical care physician, says he is getting verbally attacked for using "unproven COVID therapies" and "preying on patients," when really, he is just trying to help the folks whom no one else is helping.

"The problem isn't evil, malicious people running around who want to make things worse. The problem is people who buy into ideology that gives them permission to do terrible things in the name of 'the greater good.'"

“They're not calling you racist because they care about race or racism or eliminating racism. They're calling you racist because it works. … It's a tool to shut people up,” says Konstantin Kisin, a UK-based satirist, political commentator, and co-host of the TRIGGERnometry podcast.
Born in Moscow during the Soviet era, Kisin is the author of the new book, “An Immigrant’s Love Letter to the West.”

"I think the department should not exist."
The US Department of Education should be abolished, argues former US Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. $1 trillion and four decades later, education gaps have not been reduced at all, she says.

America’s current education system is antiquated, wasteful, and “bent on saving and serving itself,” argues former U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.
She is one of the very few department heads to have advocated for the abolition of the agency she ran. Education gaps have only widened since the establishment of the federal Department of Education under President Jimmy Carter, she says.
Two years of remote learning has now put kids months, if not years behind during this pandemic. “You couple the learning losses with the mental health challenges, and you have a disaster looming,” DeVos says.
She is the author of the new book, “Hostages No More: The Fight for Education Freedom and the Future of the American Child.” Tonight, she breaks down creative new approaches to schooling being adopted in states like Florida and Arizona that could soon change the game for millions of children across America.
“They want to take away our rights, decide what food we eat, decide where we can travel.”
We sit down with independent journalist Jordan Schachtel to discuss the World Economic Forum’s vision for radically re-orienting society.
"Very few journalists are willing to take this on. And the ones that did had already been disenfranchised, written off as crazy conspiracy theorists."

"You have a ruling class that doesn't care about individual liberty.”
We sit down with independent journalist Jordan Schachtel to discuss the hubris of the elites & how they took advantage of the COVID-19 crisis to consolidate power.
"All these virologists, so-called 'public health experts'—they're supposed to be in this advisory role. And next thing you know, these county, federal, & state directors are responsible for shutting down society."

“The vaccines have done damage to the immune system such that it makes people more likely to get COVID—over a longer term, not the short-term vaccine benefit period, but after that—more likely to get COVID infections, more likely to get other respiratory infections.”
Today, we sit down with Dr. Harvey Risch, a professor emeritus of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health.
We discuss why vaccinated individuals appear to be getting COVID-19 infections at higher rates than the unvaccinated, and how much of our policies over the last two years were based on flawed science—from lockdowns to the vaccine rollout for children to the suppression of early treatment.

"If we damage the innate immune system in children, we are taking the most potent part of the immunological response off the battlefield."
What is innate immunity? How is it different from natural immunity? And how is innate immunity in children being potentially damaged by the genetic COVID vaccines?
We discuss with Dr. Paul Alexander, an expert in evidence-based medicine and clinical epidemiology.

Why do vaccinated people appear to be getting infected at higher rates than unvaccinated people?
We discuss with Dr. Paul Alexander, an expert in evidence-based medicine, research methodology, and clinical epidemiology. He served in the Trump administration as a COVID policy advisor.
Dr. Alexander says he’s also becoming increasingly concerned the genetic COVID-19 vaccines may damage the innate immunity that children have. Tonight, Dr. Alexander breaks down what it is, how it’s different from natural immunity, and why our vaccination policies may actually be subverting this innate defense system that children have—against not just COVID-19 but other pathogens.

"I'm not oppressed. I'm not a victim…Actually, I feel quite successful, quite 'privileged' to use their terminology."
Calvin Robinson says he was barred from becoming a Church of England deacon because of his conservative political views and opposition to critical race theory.
How has woke ideology gained a foothold in churches? And what is the significance of Boris Johnson’s recent resignation?
“They're always looking for the superficial diversity of skin color. They want more brown faces that think like them. And because I was a brown face that didn't think like them, they ignored their own ideology—this whole idea that we need to be listening to more ethnic minority voices.”
Calvin Robinson is a UK-based Anglican deacon and political commentator. He was barred from becoming a deacon with the Church of England because of his conservative political views and opposition to critical race theory, he says.

"They don't know about the ideology. They don't know about the history."
A new museum in DC seeks to educate Americans about the deadliest ideology of the 20th century: communism.
Tonight, we sit down with founding director Elizabeth Spalding.
What is it really like to live in a communist country? And what lessons can we learn from those who chose to resist?
