TikTok is one of the Chinese regime's most powerful weapons of mass manipulation and misinformation, argues Nicolas Chaillan, former Chief Software Officer of the U.S. Air Force and Space Force. TikTok was the most downloaded app globally and in the United States in 2021. The Chinese regime is using TikTok to manipulate Americans—particularly the younger generations. And it’s gathering enormous amounts of data, from voice prints to face prints, to power the next generation of AI weapons, Chaillan says. At the same time, the best and the brightest are leaving the Department of Defense, Chaillan says. “When you hear the DoD talk about focusing on climate change and focusing on domestic terrorism as the number one threat, that's just plain nonsense…If China is not the number one threat, I don't know where these people have been living, but they're not on the same planet.” 👉PREMIERE 7:30pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S1018NicolasChaillan 🔵 Enjoy Up To 50% Off 👉 https://ept.ms/3bsQ7t1

“As young as kindergarten, there were resource guides out there telling teachers, telling educators how to talk to children about their pronouns,” says Florida State Representative Joe Harding. “These guides were not being voted on in public meetings. These guys were being put forth with an agenda by activist groups.” Joe Harding spearheaded Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Bill. Tonight, he shares the impetus for the bill, how the bill is now being enforced, and what it was like being at the center of a national firestorm.

Thousands.” “Panicked relatives…wanted us to use legal processes to force the hospitals to either treat them with alternative treatments that the patients wanted or let them go.

“I told them what I was doing. And every single one of them said, Jeff, why are you throwing your career away over this?” When COVID hit, Jeff Childers, a bankruptcy attorney in Gainesville, Florida, found himself stunned by the sudden imposition of a mandatory mask mandate. He decided to sue Alachua County and got the first appellate decision in the country finding mandatory masking presumptively unconstitutional. In the last two years, he’s successfully fought against vaccine mandates, defended high-profile individuals in the January 6 committee investigations, and sued a hospital for forcing a patient to stay hospitalized on a ventilator and remdesivir against the wishes of the patient’s family. After many lawyers reached out to Childers for advice, he launched an informal network around the country to share information and help other lawyers launch similar lawsuits in their states. 👉PREMIERE 7:30pm ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S1008JeffChilders 🔵 Enjoy Up To 50% Off 👉 https://ept.ms/3bsQ7t1
