"I called a neighbor who just began fostering a two-year-old and a four-year-old…She said, 'If there's one thing I wanted people to know about doing foster care, it is that you will get attached. And your heart will probably get broken…Getting the chance to bond and attach to these kids is a blessing. And if your heart breaks for the loss of this child, that means you're doing it right. …The chance to help another is worth it. Because love is never wasted." In this episode, I sat down with Angel Studios CEO Neal Harmon and award-winning actor Demetrius Grosse to discuss the beautiful new film "Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot." 🔴 WATCH FULL on @AmThoughtLeader: https://ept.ms/S0629HarmonGrosse

#China: "Drug warfare is one of the 24 warfares listed in 'Unrestricted Warfare.' And it can work in both ways. It can be drugs that are used to kill you, like fentanyl. It can also be gaining control of drugs, supply chains, pharmaceutical supply chains, to have that lever over you, as we saw during COVID." In this episode, China expert Cleo Paskal breaks down the Chinese Communist Party’s strategy to subvert America. 👉PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0702CleoPaskal

"There is a part of the US where Chinese can arrive without a visa…This is [an] open backdoor into the United States." After entering the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, some have been found illegally trying to sneak into Guam, which is home to several US military bases.

"After WWII, the system that the United States created globally, the US-led system has been remarkable in terms of the results: zero great power wars in 70 years; average standard of living in the United States and internationally [is] five times today what it was in 1945. …To the critics, I guess I'd say, what is the better system? Would it have been better if Nazi Germany won WWII? Would it have been better if the Soviet Union had won the Cold War? Would it be better if Communist China dominated the world today?" American exceptionalism sometimes gets a bad rap these days, but Matthew Kroenig and Dan Negrea, co-authors of “We Win, They Lose,” argue that the US-led world order is still the best system. 🔴 WATCH FULL on @AmThoughtLeader: https://ept.ms/S0622DanNMattK

"The invisible hand [is] what private individuals do without the TV cameras: working on a day to day basis to improve their standard of living. As Adam Smith says, every person always tries to improve their lot in life and for themselves and for their children and grandchildren and their families and so forth. And we all have that innately in us. And so, economics is trying to help us to explain how that happens." - Mark Skousen 🔴 WATCH FULL on @AmThoughtLeader: https://ept.ms/S0625MarkSkousen

“There was a time when people didn't believe, for instance, a black person could be a nuclear physicist, or any number of things - an airplane pilot. Obviously, no one believes that anymore. And there had to be a time when that door was busted down, because it wasn't going to be opened voluntarily. But that was decades ago. And, what needs to be proven has been proven. So, the only people who think that way now are Neanderthals, and there aren’t a whole lot of them left around. So, that takes care of itself. And you look at the progress that's been made just in my lifetime. Now, I remember when I was six, going down to Tennessee, and there were all these ‘whites only’ and ‘colored only’ signs. And people explained to me what it means and why you need to pay attention.” -Dr. Ben Carson 🔴 WATCH FULL: https://ept.ms/S0620BenCarson
