“People have lost sight of what education is supposed to be,” charter school founder Caylan Ford told me. In 2022, she founded Canada's first tuition-free classical charter school with little more than a dozen teachers. Since then Alberta Classical Academy has grown to 1,500 students across three campuses in Calgary and Edmonton, with thousands more on the waitlist. “We typically have enough applicants for kindergarten that we could fill 30 to 50 kindergarten classes per year. We just don't have the facilities to accommodate that at this stage,” Ford said. Canadian parents crave the classical education Alberta Classical Academy provides: A lot of the parents who come to us are absolutely desperate. … The existence of this school is like an answered prayer.” 🔴 PREMIERE 5PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/4flmokI

Former Ambassador Sam Brownback says the CCP is carrying out 3 genocides simultaneously. “The 3 are the Uyghur genocide … a genocide that’s been going on in Tibet against Tibetan Buddhists … and then the Falun Gong genocide.” “They want to name the next Dalai Lama. The Chinese Communist Party, an officially atheistic group, wants to name the next official leader of the Tibetan Buddhism faith, which is just galling and ironic at the same time.” “They have decimated the Falun Gong that got up by Chinese numbers to 90 million at one point in time…And in the most diabolical, barbaric ways of locking people up, throwing them in jail, forced organ harvesting as you've written about.” “That's why I say these are 3 genocides, because the intent is there to literally wipe out these groups and these cultures.” In his new book, “China’s War on Faith,” @samuelbrownback details what he calls 3 ongoing genocides being carried out by the CCP against Uyghurs, Tibetan Buddhists, and Falun Gong practitioners. We discuss the CCP’s attempts to erase entire faiths and cultures and what Congress will hear from Brownback’s testimony on Thursday ahead of this week’s Trump-Xi meeting. https://rumble.com/v79sza8-former-ambassador-sam-brownback-says-the-ccp-is-carrying-out-3-genocides-si.html

“They've killed more of their own people than any other regime in the history of mankind.” Former Ambassador and Senator Sam Brownback says it’s time America starts treating the CCP for what it is: a murderous genocidal regime. “We just got to recognize, this is an evil regime.” “And we've been treating them like a normal country.” “We're not ready for the full square-off right now, but these two systems are inevitably headed for that.” https://rumble.com/v79rtnw-sam-brownback-its-time-to-stop-treating-china-like-a-normal-country.html

The CCP’s greatest vulnerability isn’t its economy. It’s religious freedom and human rights. And America should leverage that, argues former U.S. ambassador, governor, and senator Sam Brownback, author of “China’s War on Faith.” For decades, U.S. leaders have tiptoed around Beijing’s “red lines” while the CCP commits three genocides: against the Uyghurs, Falun Gong, and Tibetan Buddhists, he says. It’s time to go on offense — just as Reagan did against the Soviet Union. “They are at war with us, whether we realize we're at war with them or not.” “I think [Trump] ought to do a Ronald Reagan and say, this is an evil regime. This is an evil empire.” “And I would love to see the Pope stand up in Taiwan and say, ‘be not afraid,’ like Pope John Paul did in Poland.” “Be not afraid.” 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/4tuB6Ju

Paola Brown just exposed the real reason why Big Pharma hates homeopathic medicine: Homeopathy actually cures people.” It doesn’t create lifelong pharmaceutical consumers. “I’ve been cured of my disease for… 23-ish years.” “Think about the amount of drugs that I have not taken.” “The years of weekly, monthly medications that have been lost because I was cured.” “The amount of people that are healed and cured by it—you’re losing customers.” And homeopathic medicines are not patentable. “I do think that the FDA has a philosophic objection to homeopathy because I haven’t seen clear evidence of anything that truly they can object to.” “They’ve made excuses.” “But we’ve done FOIA requests, and nobody’s ever been harmed by homeopathic medicines.” Paola Brown, president and founder of Americans for Homeopathy Choice, sat down with me for a short interview to break down the real reasons why Big Pharma and the FDA see homeopathy as a threat. Watch our full interview below: https://ept.ms/3ReyaDn

Critics of homeopathy claim there’s no real evidence showing it works. Paola Brown argues that is completely false. “There have been 5 meta analyses.” “4 of the 5 showed very positive results for homeopathy.” “The Swiss government did a big analysis on homeopathy and found it valuable.” “It has been adopted into national health systems.” “One of the coolest areas of research has been done on animals.” “If it was only a placebo effect, you wouldn’t get results in Petri dishes and in animals.” Paola Brown went from being skeptical of homeopathy to fully embracing it. She shares the personal experience that changed her mind and why she’s fighting for more people to be able to access it. https://rumble.com/v79p33w-critics-of-homeopathy-claim-theres-no-real-evidence-showing-it-works.html

Mollie Hemingway told me that even liberals admitted Roe v. Wade was one of the “worst decisions” the Supreme Court ever issued. “They said: we are going to claim that there is a hidden right to abortion that the Founders put in the Constitution.” “Everyone knew it wasn’t true.” “Ruth Bader Ginsburg… criticized the Roe v. Wade decision on those same grounds.” “She thought it should be that the people were deciding their policy and that this took it away from the people.” “Every Supreme Court confirmation became a battle over that issue.” “Any time the Court came close to overturning Roe v. Wade, there would be this massive public pressure campaign that the justices would crater under.” “In 1992, there was a really good case called Casey v. Planned Parenthood.” “Everyone expected this would finally overturn Roe v. Wade.” “Three Republican-appointed justices, Sandra Day O’Connor, Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, they form a troika, they called themselves, to save Roe v. Wade.” “Well, if you paid attention to abortion politics since 1992, nobody stopped fighting about it.” “Everybody still wanted the chance to debate and discuss and have their legislatures set policy.” “And finally it happens, four years ago.” https://rumble.com/v79mmi8-the-powerful-inside-story-of-how-justice-samuel-alito-has-reshaped-the-supr.html

“We are raising by far the sickest generation of children to ever walk the Earth…We are so sick that we are looking for alternatives, and when we find those alternatives, we're finding that those alternatives are harder and harder to get access to,” says Paola Brown. Brown first turned to homeopathy, a form of alternative medicine,” after many years of suffering from unbearable bladder pain. She had been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis, a disease with no known cure. She jokes that homeopaths are called “the doctors of last resort” and for her, they were exactly that. After homeopathic remedies cured her, she became a vocal advocate. Over the last decade, the FDA has increased restrictions on homeopathic remedies. Earlier this year, lawmakers introduced a new bill that supporters say would protect access to homeopathy by creating clearer rules. 🔴 PREMIERE 5PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/3ReyaDn

Mollie Hemingway says she has evidence that dissenting Supreme Court justices in the Dobbs case deliberately stalled their opinions in a way that left other justices under prolonged security risk. “The moment that it leaked… you had immediate protests at the Supreme Court.” “You also had immediate protests at the homes of the Supreme Court justices themselves.” “Justices having to be moved to secure locations… they had to wear bulletproof vests.” “It was a very bad situation.” “And to make it worse, you had the Department of Justice… doing nothing.” “Protests at a federal judge’s house to get him or her to change their opinion… that’s against the law.” “You even had an assassin show up on Brett Kavanaugh's street.” “And I show how the liberal justices actually slow-walked their dissent…” “To prevent the Dobbs decision from being officially released.” “They were able to keep those justices under constant pressure for nearly two months.” https://rumble.com/v79ke7g-the-untold-story-of-how-one-man-reshaped-the-supreme-court.html

“It's remarkable to have a man like [Alito] in the country who's got not just the moral courage, but the physical courage to take on Roe v. Wade,” says Mollie Hemingway, Editor-in-Chief of The Federalist. @FDRLST “Justice Thomas and Justice Alito, they have faced unbelievable pressure against them, their spouses, their family members, so you have to be willing to withstand that,” she said. Justice Alito wrote the majority opinion that overturned the Roe v. Wade decision and returned abortion regulation to the states. For her new book titled “Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution,” Hemingway interviewed almost one hundred people that have known him throughout his life, including his colleagues on the court. Why a book about Alito in particular? Because, she told me, “we know so much about Thomas, we know so much about Scalia… but here's this guy who we know almost nothing about.” 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/4niB7Ph

Xi Jinping, leader of Communist China, says he wants his military ready to invade Taiwan by 2027. Taiwanese Ambassador Alexander Yui broke down how U.S. military engagements in Iran and Venezuela could shape Xi’s next move. “China has mentioned to the United States that Taiwan is the greatest risk factor between the relations of China and the United States.” “I believe that it’s the other way, and that the People’s Republic of China is the greatest risk factor for peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits.” “They’re the ones who are the aggressors.” “They're the ones who are militarily preparing for conflict.” “The People's Republic of China has engaged in the largest peacetime military preparedness in human history.” “I think that's unfounded because their borders are not under threat.” To watch the full interview, check below. youtu.be/fp_fjdr45eQ

“Taiwanese companies make 90% of the data servers and the AI servers that run the AI realm.” “We make 95% of the advanced chips in Taiwan.” Taiwanese Ambassador Alexander Yui revealed to me just how reliant the entire U.S. AI system is on Taiwan. “Taiwan has become an important partner in terms of technology, in terms of investment, and in terms of education.” “United States is intending on preserving AI supremacy… and asking partners, including Taiwan, to reach that.” “To achieve that, Taiwan is a key partner.” I sat down with Ambassador Alexander Yui for this critical interview. We talked about Taiwan’s role at the center of AI and semiconductors, and why it matters for the U.S. And we got into China, defense, and what Taiwan sees as the future of this partnership: https://youtu.be/fp_fjdr45eQ

🔴 PREMIERE 5PM ET on @EpochTV: https://youtu.be/fp_fjdr45eQ “Any conflict in the Taiwan Strait will cause a crisis much larger than what is happening with Iran in the Strait of Hormuz,” warns Ambassador Alexander Yui, Taiwan’s representative to the United States. Over one-fifth of global maritime trade passes through it. Taiwan is now America’s 4th largest trading partner — and produces over 90% of the world’s most advanced semiconductors as well as more than 90% of the servers powering the AI revolution. This island — just one-third the size of Virginia — is the beating heart of modern technology. Yet Chinese leader Xi Jinping has told the PLA to be ready for a successful Taiwan invasion by 2027, the PLA’s 100th anniversary. In this in-depth interview, Ambassador Yui breaks down why Taiwan matters to every American, the CCP’s campaign of isolation and intimidation, and what’s truly at stake.

“There would be no MAHA without Trump 2.0, and there would be no Trump 2.0 without MAHA.” Sean Spicer argues Trump and MAHA needed each other to flourish. “What these guys have done to transform how we look at our food, our wellness, the medical industry, Big Pharma, Big Food, has been revolutionary.” In this short interview with Sean Spicer, we dive into his new book “Trump 2.0: The Revolution That Will Permanently Transform America,” criticisms that the admin hasn’t gone far enough with MAHA reforms, and how the Iran War may impact midterms. https://rumble.com/v799hqs-sean-spicer-argues-trump-and-maha-needed-each-other-to-flourish.html

There has been a third attempt on President Trump’s life. Sean Spicer says this is a direct result of leftist rhetoric around Trump. “If somebody says, ‘We want to get out of this room,’ and you say, ‘Well, that person is blocking us from getting out of the room,’ at some point, the only way to get out of the room is to take them and get them out of the way, right?” “If somebody says over and over again… Trump is a threat to democracy… what do you think is going to happen?” “At some point somebody says, ‘Well, I love democracy… if he’s a threat, I need to do something.’” “They have radicalized these people.” https://rumble.com/v7990gw-the-third-trump-assassination-attempt-and-the-trump-2.0-playbook.html

“This guy was a radicalized shooter who believes the rhetoric of the left, who said ‘Trump is Hitler. Trump is a tyrant. Trump is an authoritarian. Trump is a threat to democracy.’ What did you think was going to happen?” Sean Spicer reacts to the third attempt on President Trump’s life at the WHCA dinner and the growing scourge of political violence: “I've had people show up to my house. I've had the threats online. I know what it's like. Do you realize that almost every senior staffer who works in the White House now needs a security detail? Just for serving their country, they need a security detail.” In his new book “Trump 2.0,” he argues Trump’s 2nd administration will be far more consequential than his first. 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/3PfzNA6

“This party-criminal nexus has essentially taken over global money laundering without really firing a shot.” Peter Mattis warns the CCP is exploiting Canada’s weak enforcement landscape as a hub for drug smuggling, money laundering, and criminal influence. “The CCP’s role in drug smuggling and money laundering has just been easier to do there than in other places.” “That gives the party a lot of opportunity.” “The party has operated with triads and other organized crime groups.” “It used to be in the old days, if someone laundered your money, they took 30%-40%.” “What the Chinese are doing now is something less than 10%.” “You can’t compete with that.” The CCP’s ties to transnational crime run deeper than many realize. Peter Mattis joins me to discuss how Beijing has leveraged criminal networks, money laundering, and weak enforcement environments to expand influence: youtu.be/o8XFJRUW4wM

There are more than 1,000 organizations in the U.S. where someone is knowingly collaborating with the CCP. Peter Mattis reveals how the CCP has quietly infiltrated critical parts of America. “The number that we have on file right now is over 1,000 in the United States.” “What that means is there is one person in that organization who is knowingly collaborating with the CCP.” https://rumble.com/v792f5o-peter-mattis-reveals-how-the-ccp-has-quietly-infiltrated-critical-parts-of-.html

There are OVER 1000 organizations with ties to the CCP United Front that are operating in the United States, according to a landmark Jamestown Foundation report by Cheryl Yu. And perhaps even more astonishingly, Canada has 5X MORE United Front-linked groups per capita than the U.S. Why? Because Beijing sees Canada as “the soft underbelly” to the United States and to the rest of NATO, says Jamestown Foundation President Peter Mattis. In Canada, he told me, there has been far less pushback against United Front organizations than in the United States: “These groups have never really had to hide themselves. They never really had to be careful, and therefore, they could just sort of move and operate.” There are even high-level Canadian officials, senators or MPs, “that you see embedded essentially in a network of these United Front organizations,” Mattis says. 🔴 PREMIERE 5PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/3Qrki8F
