“[Gabor Maté] says: Don't ask the question ‘why the addiction?’” Instead ask: “Why the pain?” “Addiction is a response to pain, it is a connection disorder. The opposite of addiction is connection. So if you feel disconnected as a person, you're going to look for other ways to connect.” In this episode, Joe Polish breaks down what’s fueling much of our current social malaise and what he sees as the path out of addiction. Joe himself is a former addict-turned-entrepreneur and founder of Genius Network. 🔴 WATCH FULL on @AmThoughtLeader: https://ept.ms/S0309JoePolish

“It's not America’s support for Israel that could create a Forever War. It's the pulling out of that support, as Joe Biden is doing. Israel is ready to win this war. If Joe Biden had not told Israel, ‘Stand down. Don't take out Rafah,’ this war would have already been over. Israel is weeks away from winning this war. There's one last battle to be fought, and then Joe Biden has basically turned on a red light. And Israel's waiting, hoping that the red light will go away.” - Professor Eugene Kontorovich 👉PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0330EugeneKontorovich

"There's a lot of sympathy when Jews are being killed. But when they then start to defend themselves to prevent themselves from getting killed again, all of a sudden, the sympathy runs out."

"I think there's a lot to the DNC pipe bomb story that could unravel bigger questions about January 6, which is why the media's completely ignoring the new scandals." -Investigative journalist Julie Kelly dives in 🤿🤿🤿 🔴 PREMIERE 3/28, 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0328JulieKelly

"What they have is very, very, very shoddy literature of a small number of children...It started in the Netherlands. This clinic in the Netherlands decided to give children puberty blockers as a way to say, 'Well, they're not happy when they transition as adults. So, maybe if we transition them as children, it'll have better results.' Radical, extraordinary, very heavy experiment, but they decided to do it. They didn't have a control group. So, they didn't have a group of children that they didn't give these interventions to, to follow up. And they took a very healthy group of children. Out of about 150, they took about 70, and they followed these 70 children, and they gave them puberty blockers. They stopped their puberty. And of that 70, 15 backed out of the study. And of those 15, some of them developed diabetes, heart complications, all sorts of issues that you'd want to say, 'what happened there?'" - Stella O’Malley 🔴 WATCH FULL on @AmThoughtLeader: https://ept.ms/S0326StellaOMalley

"Those teenagers who so want medical transition - they don't know the fever of wanting a baby that hits people in their 30s. And I wouldn't underestimate it in these children, because we're only about 10 years into this kind-of sharp rise in the numbers of people seeking medical transition.” - Genspect director Stella O’Malley says there is an inevitable infertility crisis that is around the corner. 👉PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0326StellaOMalley

“There hasn't been a landowner out there that thought they were selling their ecosystem service rights, because that is really a new creation - created out of thin air. I mean, that's what's so crazy about trying to understand this - our marketplace is based on what a consumer will buy and what they won't. That's what drives our marketplace. This is not something that people will buy or not buy, and that's what's really unique about what they're doing. They're trying to create this new asset class, and they get to arbitrarily decide how much they are valued. So, it's not that the marketplace is going to value them. It's going to be a bureaucrat sitting in a room saying that the air you breathe is worth X, and the air I breathe is worth Y. So, it's all arbitrary.” - Margaret Byfield 🔴 WATCH FULL on @AmThoughtLeader: https://ept.ms/S0321MargaretByfield

“I left the court really scratching my head…Some of the questions seem to really leave you wondering whether or not the [Supreme] Court still has a real appreciation for the 1st Amendment,” says Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, in reference to recent arguments in the landmark free speech case Murthy v. Missouri. Where is the case headed? What might the Supreme Court decide when it comes to government communications with the big tech giants? 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/3VufuQ8

"I think that it's been hard for an ordinary person to be able to separate out fact and fiction, but it makes it even harder when you cannot trust the government anymore to allow people to have that kind-of marketplace of ideas that will sort it out fairly and evenly. They put their thumb on the scale, because they did not want to allow anything that might increase vaccine hesitancy. So, for example, the story of my son - I told that story. I testified in the state legislature about it when they were having a discussion about how our Department of Health was counting myocarditis cases. I wrote letters to the governor about it, and they had called me when my son was in hospital. They understood this threat, but they were putting out public information that said it wasn't a big deal, that everyone got better in three days." - Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill 🔴WATCH on @AmThoughtLeader: https://ept.ms/S0320LizMurrill

"You had one of the first-hand witnesses in myself, in the Oval Office days before January 6 with the President and his national command team, where President Trump authorized 10+ thousand National Guardsmen and women. We've been saying that since that day. That hasn't changed. I testified before the January 6 committee on it. I got subpoenaed by the special counsel's department of Justice on it. I've done media interviews across the country on it. It has never changed. That authorization occurred. We sent senior DoD employees to Mayor Bowser 's office and the Capitol Police with Nancy Pelosi because they're responsible for DC. And consistent with DoD history and the law, they have to make a request for the National Guard before it can be deployed." - Kash Patel 🔴WATCH on @AmThoughtLeader: https://ept.ms/S0318kashPatel

“Most people look at the environmental movement and think they're trying to save species, they're trying to protect open spaces - things that we would all say are great things. But actually, the real movers and shakers behind the movement - that's not what it's about at all. They don't believe in private property ownership. They don't believe that you or I could manage a piece of land. They believe that it should be done in a big consolidated network.” - Margaret Byfield 👉PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0321MargaretByfield

“The creation of this new vehicle that would be listed on the New York Stock Exchange called ‘natural asset companies’…would allow for the enrollment of our protected resources into these companies along with the natural processes - the ecosystem services - that can be enrolled in these companies and then private entities. In other words, the same people who are pushing the agenda to lock up our land, would then be the investors in the private vehicle where these are enrolled - these protected lands - and be able to profit off of them. So, it really was a very scary proposal, and a really stealth attempt to gain control over America's land and resources. And it was done very quietly.” - Margaret Byfield 🔴 PREMIERE 3/21, 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0321MargaretByfield

“That's the good thing about a democracy - we don't have to all agree. But I would like to live in a place [where] you have the right to speak up even though I might disagree with you - to have a difference of opinion and be respectful to one another of that opinion. But it doesn't seem that way anymore. It's only: if you have this opinion, you're okay. Trudeau said that himself: The small ‘fringe minority’ coming to Ottawa with ‘unacceptable views.’ Well, who decides what's acceptable? I don't know. Is it the Ministry of Truth, which is now the mainstream legacy media? Democracies have to flourish, and you're not going to like what some people say, but that's okay. That's how it's supposed to work. You can't have everyone agree on everything. But that's what they want. It seems that way.” - Eddie Cornell 🔴 WATCH FULL on @AmThoughtLeader: https://ept.ms/S0316EdwardCornell

"’Encouragement’ can cross the line. ‘Inducement’ can cross the line. ‘Coercion' absolutely crosses the line, and the government didn't dispute that. They just are trying to categorize everything that happened in the box of nothing more than 'persuasion.'"

"What I fear is going to happen is…you're on the Titanic and you're heading towards this iceberg that's going to sink your ship…Instead of doing something, diverting away from the danger, we've got a bunch of people that are just going to simply rearrange the deck chairs and think that that's going to save us."
