I recently had the pleasure of attending a Pandemic Planning conference at Stanford University. It was really the first of its kind, in that it brought together a wide range of voices on the topic in an academic setting, and it was held under the auspices of the new Stanford President Jonathan Levin. “I think it’s expanded the range of things that are allowed to be said in polite society, if you will,” says Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a professor of health policy and the lead organizer of the...

In this episode, I sit down with scientist and physician Dr. Robert Malone to discuss his latest book, “PsyWar,” co-authored with his wife, Dr. Jill Malone. “Someone is making a decision about how people should think, what they should think, how they should feel, how they should behave in the world without consulting them, and you’re using a technology that is so powerful and effective that you’re literally reprogramming their mind without their consent,” says Dr. Malone. “The battleground is...

“The CCP is very smart at understanding the divides in American society, and it knows how to target both sides.” In this episode, I sit down with Chris Chappell and Shelley Zhang, creators of the popular YouTube show “China Uncensored.” They’ve been covering Chinese Communist Party propaganda efforts and narrative warfare for more than a decade.

He is a medical anthropologist and the director of Collateral Global, a London-based think tank focused on improving pandemic response...

In certain ways China and the United States—despite being vastly different—are slowly converging, with technocratic managerial regimes playing an increasingly important role in each society, argues N.S. Lyons in his essay “The China Convergence.” Lyons’ writings can be found on his Substack titled “The Upheaval.” Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

“We have a problem, just generally, that the scientific community is not actually set up to protect the public from the risk of accidents in labs.” Dr. Bryce Nickels is a professor of genetics at Rutgers University and the co-founder of Biosafety Now, an organization that aims to reduce the public threat of lab-generated pandemics. “Like any person that’s trying to pull the wool over anyone’s eyes, occasionally, what you‘ll do is you’ll say things that are technically correct, but it’s used...

It has been six years since Warren Farrell and John Gray published their groundbreaking book, “The Boy Crisis: Why Our Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do About It.” A prominent feminist for many years, Farrell shifted his focus when he started noticing major gaps in the conversation about men and women’s issues.

“More than 50 percent of Americans are metabolically unhealthy,” says Mollie Engelhart, a regenerative farmer and entrepreneur. Engelhart made the difficult decision to uproot her life in California due to heavy regulations and fallout from COVID-19 restrictions. She has since restarted from scratch in Texas. “All of our food comes from these industrial systems that has been sterilized, and we’re not replenishing our microbiology when we’re eating the foods of the current systems,” she...

We have this issue in Latin America where the region is going towards a much more autocratic direction.

An expert on asymmetric warfare, he has been looking closely at Latin America for 20 years. “The Sino-Iranian connection, in many...

“Post-journalism essentially is the idea that journalism commodifies polarization,” says former CIA media analyst Martin Gurri. Instead of seeking objectivity and broad appeal to the general public, media seek to become a refuge for a subset of the population: “a temple of ideology” for people who share the same worldview, Gurri argues. “If you take the Russia story where [Trump] was supposed to have been basically Vladimir Putin’s agent, [the New York Times] published at least 3,000 (by my...

In this episode, we sit down with Gordon Chang to understand the Chinese regime’s strategy to destabilize America, from fentanyl warfare to election disinformation to suspicious activity at the border. “We’re seeing a change in composition of Chinese migrants. So if we go back two or three years ago, it’s basically family groups.

What is the connection between the anti-Israel protests we are seeing today and the 2014 unrest in Ferguson, Missouri?

It’s about power.” And what do these have to do...

“We need more members of Congress who recognize that there’s value on both sides,” says Jill Long Thompson, a former U.S. congresswoman from Indiana who served in the 1990s. As a Democrat, she represented a heavily Republican district as a fiscal conservative. She says that today, polarization and gerrymandering—the redrawing of district lines for partisan benefit—have made people like her few and far between in Congress. “We are electing people who are either further to the right or further...
