“Venezuela supplies maybe 3-4% of China’s imported oil.” “But Iran was somewhere between 15-23%.” Gordon Chang told me that President Trump is “going after the Chinese” with his war in Iran. “He is doing it indirectly.” “He’s cutting off their sources of oil.” “President Trump may allow the Venezuelans to sell oil to China, but not at the heavily discounted rates that China was benefiting from.” “And Chinese factories are now dependent on cheap oil.” “Well, they’re not getting it anymore.” “If they get their oil, they’re gonna have to pay market prices.” https://rumble.com/v76hf4o-trump-is-cutting-of-the-ccps-sources-of-oil-gordon-chang.html Gordon Chang just sat down with me for a 50-minute interview to break down how President Trump is delivering a massive blow to the Chinese Communist Party with his strikes in Iran.

I broke down to @RobSchneider why my new book about the horrific organ harvesting business in China is named “Killed to Order”: Because you have so many people in the prison and labor camp system—millions of Falun Gong practitioners and other prisoners of conscience—now you can pre-blood type, tissue type, and organ scan them. You have in a database all the vitals of some huge number of people who have been dehumanized and treated as disposable. Then when someone, an American let’s say, wants to come and pay a hefty sum, that prisoner of conscience on the other side is already pre-matched to them and is ready to be killed to order. And that’s why the name of my book is Killed to Order. https://rumble.com/v76hb2e-the-organ-harvesting-system-in-china-is-horrifying-and-its-still-happening-.html The organ harvesting system in China is horrifying, and it’s still happening now. Join @RobSchneider and me at Trump Kennedy Center on March 16 as we break down my new book “Killed to Order” and reveal the truth behind this crime against humanity.

“I believe that President Trump is going after the Chinese…he's cutting off their sources of support.” The US-Israel strikes on Iran are reshaping the global balance of power—and Beijing is feeling the heat,” says China analyst Gordon Chang. “Mao [Zedong] boasted that he won the Chinese Civil War because he encircled the cities from the countryside…Well, Trump has just taken that same policy and applied it against China. …Venezuela and Iran are the countryside, and China is the city." 🔴 WATCH NOW: https://youtu.be/e-3cRrquknc

“The requirement of somebody’s death for your survival, is the most perverse thing I’ve ever heard in medicine.” Rob Schneider says we need to make clear to Western society that organ harvesting is never acceptable. “It should at least be known throughout the West that this cannot be recommended.” “This is something that is not an option.” MARCH 16 at the Trump Kennedy Center, @RobSchneider and I will dive deep into the horrors of CCP organ harvesting and my upcoming book “Killed to Order.” Don’t miss this important conversation.

In America and other free countries, patients wait months or even years for an organ. But in China, transplant wait lists are measured in weeks—or even days. For twenty years, I’ve investigated a crime almost too horrific to name—now documented in my new book: “Killed To Order: China's Organ Harvesting Industry and the True Nature of America's Biggest Adversary.” This is the dark reality: When someone decides to go to China and pay a hefty sum for a scheduled transplant, on the other side, an incarcerated prisoner of conscience, who has already been blood-typed and tissue-typed, is likely being killed to order. In this episode, the tables are turned, and I’m in the guest seat this time. I invited my good friend, actor, and comedian Rob Schneider, who has become deeply personally invested in this issue, to be the guest host for this special episode. 🔴 PREMIERE 5PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/40CR5Ju

Dr. Daniel Monti is a pioneer in integrative medicine. And he just told me that MAHA’s new food pyramid is a breakthrough that will “increase health and prolong life.” “All of the ultra-processed foods that are so common and easy to obtain really put things in the wrong direction.” “All of the evidence out there continuously points to a dietary pattern that is going to increase health and prolong life, or one that’s gonna take things in the opposite direction.” I just sat down with Dr. Daniel Monti for a 50-minute interview about his groundbreaking work as an integrative medicine physician. He just made a potentially massive breakthrough in Parkinson’s disease treatment. Watch this fascinating interview below: https://ept.ms/4b9Glsa

Dr. Daniel Monti just revealed a potentially massive breakthrough in Parkinson’s disease treatment. And it’s much simpler than you think. He just published his third study on a molecule called N-acetylcysteine, or “NAC for short.” “This is a powerful antioxidant.” “It actually protects the liver.” “We know that it does a lot of different things, but the important thing for us is that it’s a precursor to something called glutathione.” “Glutathione protects the brain when there’s damage or oxidative stress and we lose it as we age.” “And when we get sick, we lose it even more.” “So we want to have a way to efficiently increase glutathione in the brain, particularly when we have a neurodegenerative disorder such as Parkinson’s disease.” “We hypothesized early on that giving infused N-acetylcysteine would increase glutathione and actually have a positive impact on Parkinson’s disease.” “We’ve published three studies on this and we look at brain scans in all of them.” “And what we’ve seen is that the N-acetylcysteine increases the efficiency of dopamine in the brain, which is the neurotransmitter or chemical that gets lost in Parkinson’s disease and causes all of those symptoms.” “Our most recent study shows that it improves the way the brain connects to itself or talks to itself the functional connectivity in the brain.” “To be in the study, you couldn’t have changes in your Parkinson's medications for a period of time.” “In both the control group and in the NAC group, people were on their Parkinson’s medications, but if they got the NAC, they did better.” “Their brain came alive in a way that wasn’t happening before.” https://rumble.com/v76bwxc-a-potentially-massive-breakthrough-in-parkinsons-disease-treatment..html

What happens in your brain when you get rid of stress? A powerful integrative medicine method called the neuro-emotional technique can be used to release emotional stress in the body. And through advanced brain scans, we can actually see the difference this makes in the brain, says Dr. Daniel Monti, chair of Thomas Jefferson University’s department of integrative medicine. During the interview, Dr. Monti used the opportunity to demonstrate the neuro-emotional technique on Jan himself! 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/4b9Glsa

“We need to wake up.” Investigative journalist Peter Schweizer argues progressive activists “weaponized” mass migration to reshape America. “They’re quite explicit about it.” “Mass immigration… is a way to kind of remake society in the vision that they want—not where America is today, or not where even the American people want to go.” These activists treat immigrants like a tool of “political weaponization,” he says. “My parents immigrated from Europe. I think it’s a wonderful, beautiful thing.” “But we have to understand what’s going on and deal with this weaponization first, and then we can have the broader conversation about the level of legal immigration that we want.” @peterschweizer, author of the NYTimes bestseller “The Invisible Coup” https://rumble.com/v769dxk-peter-schweizer-argues-progressive-activists-weaponized-mass-migration-to-r.html

Grace Jin Drexel’s father has been detained in China for months just for preaching the Christian faith. She and the rest of her family live in America—but they are being actively targeted and harassed by the CCP. “Even in Washington, D.C., I felt that I’ve been watched and followed.” Her mother has been harassed in phone calls, where people impersonated federal agents, “claiming that she had committed fraud, and she has to go back to China to clear her name.” “That’s a very common tactic to force people to voluntarily go back to China.” “Most recently, my mom’s tires were slashed inside her garage.” “But nothing else was taken, so it really is a fear tactic.” “My husband has been targeted as well with a lot of phishing expeditions and cyber attacks.” “So we now live in a house surrounded by security cameras, and my husband sleeps with a metal bat next to his bedside.” https://rumble.com/v766qt8-my-moms-tires-were-slashed-how-the-ccp-is-targeting-pastor-ezra-jins-family.html

Grace Jin Drexel reveals that the CCP’s “atheist agenda” controls everything that Christian churches do in China. The CCP’s total control over Christian churches is ominously “symbolized with portraits of Xi Jinping and Mao Zedong in front of church buildings.” “The First Commandment is, ‘Thou shall have no other gods before me.’” “Yet the [CCP] wants to supplant that and say, ‘You can worship as long as you kneel down before me first.” She revealed that the CCP requires almost every action a church takes to be approved by the Party: “Your leadership has to be approved… your sermons have to be approved.” https://rumble.com/v7662xm-the-ccps-war-on-faith-grace-jin-drexel.html

California entrepreneur Elaine Culotti describes how extreme California’s policies have become. “Homeless people can sleep in the front door of your business and you are not allowed to touch them.” “It is okay for a person to defecate in the middle of the median of your street if they are 200 feet away from a bathroom.” Elaine Culotti is the founder of the Mayors Matter project and has since announced her run for governor of California. Elaine Culotti has lived in the state for decades & says people across the political spectrum are growing tired of how it’s being run. She sat down with me to talk about what she believes has gone wrong & what she thinks needs to change. Watch👉https://ept.ms/3OsWoIT

California entrepreneur Elaine Culotti believes Republicans and Democrats have abandoned the middle. “These two boxers have gone to their corners and their corners have their posse and their fight coaches saying, ‘You got to win.’” “The whole swath in the middle is like, ‘I don’t know if I agree with that.’” “My party left me a long time ago.” “The Republican Party and the Democratic Party do not come forward as a group and support good ideas in the middle.” “They would rather support a bad idea on their team than a good idea in the middle.” “And that’s terrible.” Elaine Culotti has since announced her run for governor in California. https://rumble.com/v764u1w-california-entrepreneur-elaine-culotti-believes-republicans-and-democrats-h.html

“Sacramento ruins California… We're all being boiled to death by Sacramento,” Elaine Culotti told Jan during their interview. Culotti, founder of the Mayors Matter project, recently completed a state-wide tour where she talked to 50 of California’s almost 500 mayors to understand the root causes of California’s biggest challenges. Their greatest problem, she discovered, is not local. It’s Sacramento. When California’s top politicians, she said, “are pushing downstream what's called unfunded mandates onto people, you create war in those city halls. You create war with those mayors because they are saying no, no, stop oppressing us with your mandates. We don't want to do it.” What the mayors want instead from the state is better governance - no matter whether they’re Democrats or Republicans. And they want control of their cities. “But we never get there,” Culotti told me, “and it’s debilitating.” 🔴 PREMIERE 5PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/3OsWoIT

Jonathan Butcher declares that we’ve passed the turning point for woke ideology. Supreme Court rulings and state laws have now delivered permanent changes that will block a resurgence of DEI policies, transgender surgeries for kids, or racial quotas in college admissions. “The Students for Fair Admissions decision from the Supreme Court from just a couple of years ago that said that it is unconstitutional to use racial preferences in college admissions, I think that will be something that’s lasting.” “The states that have adopted legislation on these issues, whether it has to do with prohibiting men from entering girls’ private spaces or boys in girls’ athletics, I think those are going to be lasting.” “By the same token, the DEI prohibitions that have been enacted across states.” “We’re getting close to half of US states that have looked at one or more of these issues.” “These are things that will last, and I think the White House’s support for these has helped to give confidence to state lawmakers.” https://rumble.com/v761mc2-have-we-passed-the-turning-point-for-woke-ideology-jonathan-butcher.html

Jonathan Butcher argues that DEI isn’t just socially corrosive. It’s “brainwashing.” His new book, “The Polarization Myth,” exposes the psychological techniques used to make Americans disillusioned with America’s founding principles: “I interviewed a chemist in Oklahoma who worked for a company that produced plastics, and he was being forced to undergo DEI training.” “He told me: why am I being told that George Washington had false teeth that may have come from slaves, or that our Founding Fathers may have owned slaves, even if some of them freed the slaves after the Founding Fathers passed away? What does that matter to the making of plastics or my job?” “He filed a lawsuit… and he got a person who works with the defense community interviewing prisoners, and found that these techniques that DEI trainers are using are very similar to the same sort of techniques that unseat your allegiance to your country.” “I think what DEI activists are trying to do is to change our understanding of American history.” “The institution of slavery was clearly running counter to our founding ideals, but that doesn’t mean our founding ideals were wrong.” “It meant that those who were implementing them were doing it wrong.” “What this particular individual, his name is Chad Ellis, also did was he said that this DEI training was so deeply psychological that it was more than just professional development.” “It was actually some sort of attempt at psychology.” “What’s fascinating about DEI training is that the research on the effectiveness of DEI trainings find that they are highly ineffective.” “They don’t change people’s behavior or attitudes, and even in some cases, they can make people resentful of having to undergo these DEI trainings.” “When you try to change someone’s understanding of their country and disaffect them from their allegiance to their nation, you are trying to brainwash them.” https://rumble.com/v760xnk-jonathan-butcher-argues-dei-is-brainwashing.html

The CCP is arresting and cracking down on Christian churches in China. Grace Jin Drexel, whose father is a pastor and was recently arrested, says the regime sees even personal faith in Jesus as a threat. “Like many of the underground or independent churches, we are not political.” “We’re not out there protesting on the streets, we’re not creating havoc.” “I am a Christian.” “We say, what you can’t take away is that we believe in God, He created Heaven and Earth and He created you and me.” “He sacrificed His life for us.” “Even something that is so personal to you is now seen as a threat or is now not allowed in China.” The CCP creates the illusion of freedom while maintaining total control, even over peoples’ most personal beliefs. In this must-watch interview, Grace Jin Drexel breaks down how the CCP is quietly shutting down churches it considers “dangerous.” Watch here: https://ept.ms/4rSkNWG

“For churches, it’s either you capitulate or you die.” Grace Jin Drexel broke down to me how freedom of religion is not allowed by the CCP in China, even if they claim it is. “People say there is religious freedom in China, all you have to do is register with the government.” “In order to join the channels, you have to get a special license and then only special license people can view it.” “All of that is then being monitored and being censored.” “If you don’t preach exactly like what the communist China leadership wants you to preach, then you get your license revoked.” “They want to control everything, including the very intimate things of what you believe in.” https://rumble.com/v75zw4u-for-churches-its-either-you-capitulate-or-you-die-grace-jin-drexel.html

“In China…they want to control everything, including the very intimate things of what you believe in.” “For churches, it's either you capitulate or you die.” “The Party…[says] that you can worship as long as you kneel down before me first…Your leadership has to be approved by me. Your sermons have to be approved by me. How many people are baptized has to be approved by me, etc. etc.” “It is the Party…with their atheist agenda, that determines what the churches do. And I think that's symbolized with a portrait of Xi Jinping and Mao Zedong in front of church buildings, etc.” Grace Jin Drexel is the daughter of detained Pastor Ezra Jin, founder of one of China's largest underground house-church networks Zion Church. Last October, he was arrested at his home in China along with 27 other pastors and church leaders of Zion Church. This strike was one of the largest attacks against independent Christian congregations in China since the Cultural Revolution, Drexel said. 🔴 PREMIERE: https://ept.ms/4rSkNWG

Mainstream media and social media make it seem like Americans are deeply divided. But in reality, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Jonathan Butcher says that even on some of the most controversial issues, a strong majority of the country actually agrees. “When we hear the term polarization, it makes us think there’s 50% on one side and 50% on the other side.” “But that’s not what’s going on.” “There are clear positions supporting some pretty common sense ideas.” “The idea that there are men and women and those are the two sexes.” “We shouldn’t have books with explicit sex acts on library shelves in public schools or teach young people that gender is something they can simply choose.” “On the issue of race, my survey and others from Pew Research have found that we don’t like the use of racial preferences when it comes to things like admitting students to school.” “What we find clear majorities in is judging people based on their decisions and their behavior.”
