American Thought Leaders - The Epoch Times

“How can you have a digital society where you don't even know what the rules are?” In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Kalev Leetaru, a Media Fellow at the RealClearFoundation and Senior Fellow at the George Washington University Center for Cyber and Homeland Security. Instead of repealing #Section230, he argues for an amendment to Section 230 that would compel #BigTech companies to make available extensive dataset collections on what they’re censoring, why each individual post or account was censored, and how the social media companies’ algorithms decide what content is boosted or demoted. 👇WATCH NOW on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/VeilOfBigTech3

‘I Want to Wake People Up’—Xi Van Fleet, Survivor of Mao’s Cultural Revolution 👇WATCH NOW on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/NewCulturalRev3

“The result of the Cultural Revolution…is the total destruction of society.” In this episode, we sit down with Xi Van Fleet, a Virginia mom from #China who made headlines after she compared the rise of #CriticalRaceTheory to China’s Cultural Revolution at a Loudoun County school board meeting. Just as people in China were designated class enemies at birth, now whites in America are born guilty, she argues. And the old catch-all charge of being a “counterrevolutionary” has now been replaced with the new crime of being “racist.” Stripped of its original meaning, it now refers to anyone who strays from leftist orthodoxy, she argues. 👇WATCH NOW on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/NewCulturalRev3

Gonzalez is the author of the new book, “BLM: The Making of a New Marxist Revolution.” 👇WATCH NOW on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/MarxistRevolution3

“There's been too much politicization of what is and is not domestic terrorism.” In this episode of Kash’s Corner, we discuss the National School Boards Association calling on the #Biden administration to protect its members from “angry mobs,” which are likened to “domestic terrorism.” And we also take a look at the case of Lt. Col. #StuartScheller who has been charged with six violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) for publicly criticized military leaders over their handling of the #Afghanistan withdrawal in a series of viral videos. 👇WATCH NOW on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/DomesticTerr

Curt Jaimungal: The Extreme Left’s Common Thread, from Communist China to America 👇WATCH NOW on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/ClassGuilt3

What ideologically separates the rational left from the extremist left? What ideas lead to violence? And why are #Censorship and redefining language both central to leftist extremism? In this episode, we sit down with #CurtJaimungal, who explores these questions about political extremism in his documentary, “Better Left Unsaid.” He’s also the host of the podcast “Theories of Everything.” 👇WATCH NOW on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/ClassGuilt3

"You can teach kids how to treat each other with respect and dignity without trying to racially essentialize kids.” Today, I sit down with #MaudMaron, an elected New York public school council member and public defender who was fired from her job at the Legal Aid Society after speaking out against race essentialism in schools. She is running for New York City Council. We discuss the injection of #CriticalRaceTheory into schools, why lowering education standards hurts poor, minority kids, and what she describes as a new “community of the canceled.” 👇WATCH NOW on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/CRTinSchools3

Kash’s Corner: A Three Way Deal?—One Huawei CFO, Two Canadians, and Two Americans 👇WATCH NOW on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/PrisonerSwap

“She basically bought her way out of the U.S. criminal justice system, even though she admitted to committing all the egregious conduct in the indictment,” says Kash Patel. #Huawei chief financial officer #MengWanzhou was recently given a deferred prosecution agreement and allowed to return to #China. And almost immediately after, the “#TwoMichaels” imprisoned in China—Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor—were released on bail for “medical reasons.” And lesser known are two American siblings—blocked from leaving China since 2018—who were also recently allowed to return to the United States. In this episode of Kash’s Corner, we discuss what many are describing as “hostage diplomacy." What exactly was Huawei doing in Iran in the first place, and how is Huawei part of the Chinese Communist Party’s broader ambitions to control key infrastructure nodes around the globe? 👇WATCH NOW on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/PrisonerSwap

Rabbi Abraham Cooper on Christian, Yazidi Persecution in Middle East; the Recent Rise in Anti-Semitism; and the Abraham Accords One Year On 👇WATCH NOW on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/BahrainMiracle3

If the United States decides to remove all remaining troops from #Iraq and #Syria, it would spell the end of the #Yazidis and the Assyrian Christians, says Rabbi Abraham Cooper. “They would essentially disappear.” In this episode, we sit down with Rabbi Cooper, the Associate Dean and Director of Global Social Action at the Simon Wiesenthal Center, to discuss efforts to combat religious persecution globally, from Christians being killed in Nigeria to genocide in #China. “That is supposed to be beyond the pale. That is supposedly why the #UnitedNations came into existence in the first place—now forgotten by alliances of convenience and cynicism and hypocrisy,” says Rabbi Cooper. We also discuss growing attacks on Jews around the world, fueled by propaganda from #Hamas, and his work facilitating tolerance and understanding in the #MiddleEast, including his role in the Abraham Accords. 👇WATCH NOW on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/BahrainMiracle3

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya on Vaccine Mandates, Herd Immunity, and Why Zero COVID Is Impossible 👇WATCH NOW on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/HerdImmunity3

“The vaccine does not stop disease spread after a certain number of months,” says Dr. #JayBhattacharya, a Professor of Medicine and Public Health at Stanford University. Even if children are all vaccinated, COVID-19 will continue to spread among the population. In this episode, Dr. Bhattacharya explains #HerdImmunity, current data on #VaccineSafety, especially for children, and the efficacy of existing #Therapeutics for COVID-19. “We can try to restructure our societies essentially around the prevention of a single infectious disease forever … Or we can live our lives relatively normally, using the technologies we have to protect the vulnerable. Those essentially are the two broad choices we face as a society,” says Dr. Bhattacharya. 👇WATCH NOW on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/HerdImmunity3
