Emma Reilly worked as a human rights lawyer at the United Nations. She discovered that for years, the Human Rights Council had been handing over the names of Chinese dissidents slated to attend the U.N. to the Chinese regime. Included were the names of U.S., Canadian, and European citizens.
âThe CCP demands get listened to because the U.N. takes them seriously, whereas they believe that the money from the U.S. will always flow, no matter what the law says in Congress, and thatâs a problem,â Reilly says. âYou see the way that individuals who are willing to prioritize Chinaâs influence and Chinaâs comfort over their own mandate managed to rise and rise in the U.N., whereas people that object get fired.â
After speaking out and informing the United States of what she says was a âcriminalâ practice at the U.N., she lost her whistleblower protection status and was fired.
âI was one of the 2 percent of people that are recognized as a legitimate whistleblower that found a dangerous policy and reported it. So, I should have been protected, but the U.N. decided to ignore its own rules. It was very blatant,â Reilly says. âYou see just the sheer number of sex abuse scandals within the U.N., even by their own reckoning. There areâand this is literally according to their own figuresâthere are 800 cases of sexual harassment or abuse. No NGO could sustain that.â

Caroline Glick is a journalist, author, and recently, adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
âThe discussion that weâve had about the war itself is just sort of blind to the basic realities of the situation. And that, to me, is the ground zero of all of the problems,â she says.
âThe stronger Israel is, the more secure the United States is. I think that the more Israel is able to project its power in the region, the more stable the region is, because Israel is a fundamentally peaceful country that doesnât seek war and does everything to avoid it. The more powerful Israel is, the less likely there are to be wars in the region.â
Glick breaks down Israelâs perspective on various developments in the region, from resuming wartime operations in Gaza, to the situation in Syria, to U.S. President Donald Trumpâs strikes on the Houthis in Yemen.
âWhen somebody tells you that they want to kill you, you have to believe themâlike, you have no choice. You have to take them at their word,â she says. âBy showing [Gazans] that the only thing that they get from being with Hamas is death and destruction, and giving them an alternative, which is what the Trump plan does ... you have this opportunity to build a life in a different place.â

From cutting programs under the U.S. Agency for International Development to putting Voice of America employees on paid administrative leave, the Trump administration and its Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have been aggressively seeking to reduce government spending on international initiatives.
But some such spending may be worth keeping.
Cleo Paskal, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, breaks down how certain U.S. measures in the Pacific are vital to deter increasing Chinese encroachment in the region, but they may not be well-understood.

âFifteen or 16 percent of the population [is] now taking antidepressants ⊠When theyâve gone out and asked people who actually use these medications whether theyâre experiencing sexual dysfunction, approximately 60 percent of people will [affirm] it.â
Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring is a board certified psychiatrist, former FDA medical officer, and director of the Taper Clinic. He treats patients suffering from post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD), and protracted withdrawalâtwo conditions becoming more common, and in some cases permanent, in people who have stopped taking antidepressants.
âSSRIs and antidepressants are really popular drugs. Some people just donât want to believe that they could potentially cause something so catastrophic,â he says. âWe should only be using these medications after weâve done everything else.â
In this episode, we discuss how patients can safely discontinue psychiatric medications and regain control of their mental health, and why there needs to be more awareness about conditions that arise after people stop taking their drugs.
âWhat I saw going through all of that ... as a drug safety officer ... was essentially that we really were practicing outside of what the psychiatric clinical trials and the evidence showed,â says Witt-Doerring. âDoctors have been led astray about the drugs to the point where they overestimate the benefits and minimize the harm.â

Michael Lucci is the founder, CEO, and chairman of State Armor. He helps states enact policies and solutions that protect their assets from foreign adversaries like communist China.
âTheyâre trying to invade our homeland, and they likely have developed the capacity to make life very difficult, to create crises within the United Statesâwhether itâs power, whether itâs wastewater treatment, whether itâs telecommunications,â he says. âThey have laws that require those companies to engage in espionage. So why are we letting them sell connected devices of any type into the United States?â
In this episode, we dive deep into how the Chinese regime has managed to infiltrate our critical infrastructure and communications systems at the local, state, and federal levels.
âItâs the largest military buildup since World War Two is what China is doing right now,â says Lucci. âIf theyâre just in our back doors, listening, reading, following everything weâre doing, following the pattern of life for important officials across the country, thatâs a pretty deep problem.â

Over the years, Pano Kanelos, the founding president of the University of Austin, observed a growing âhomogenizationâ and âbureaucratizationâ of higher education. He saw school programs becoming more and more similar, administrators outnumbering students and young adults being taught that the pathway to success is dependent on censorship and adherence to the status quo.
âWeâve created a culture of conformity at universitiesâa culture of conformity in higher education,â he says. âThis just flattens out, I think, the potential for higher education to do great things and be dynamic.â
So, in 2021, along with a group of similarly concerned individuals, he started the University of Austin, a private liberal arts university in Texas that emphasizes curiosity, risk-taking, and moral agency.
âWeâre trying to generate graduates who themselves are builders and creators. This is an important part of our curriculum,â says Kanelos.
Three years later, he is the president of a fully operational freshmen class and a diverse faculty.
âIf anybody visits the University of Austin, they will see that itâs probably one of the most intellectually alive environments you'll ever encounter,â says Kanelos.

In this episode, we sit down with Rep. Rich McCormick (R-Ga.), a decorated veteran who served over 20 years in the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Navy as a helicopter pilot and a medical corps officer.
As a lawmaker, he has co-sponsored legislation to challenge the Chinese Communist Partyâs (CCP) rampant economic espionage and tech influence campaigns, and a resolution supporting formal recognition of Taiwan.
âWe now are in a new evolution of warfare where weâre heavily reliant on technologies. This has changed conventional warfare forever,â McCormick says.
Three U.S. Army soldiers were recently indicted for stealing top-secret information for the Chinese regime. The U.S. has also charged 12 Chinese hackers and officials for cyber operations targeting U.S. agencies and media outlets, including The Epoch Times.

In this episode, we dive into President Donald Trumpâs multi-pronged strategy to revitalize Americaâs economy, from aggressive reciprocal tariffs to massive DOGE cuts, and a large-scale deregulation effort to promote business growth.
The Code of Federal Regulations is now over 190,000 pages long. A 2017 Auburn University study found that each federal regulator effectively âcosts the U.S. economy the equivalent of 138 private sector jobs per year.â The researchers said that equated to a $11 million annual loss for the U.S. economy for every additional regulator.
What will be the impacts of the Trump administrationâs policies? Will they usher in economic prosperity or will America have to head into a recession first?

Half a million unaccompanied minors entered the United States between 2019 and 2023, and experts fear many of them have been trafficked. And that does not include the children who crossed the border with individuals falsely claiming to be their family members. So where are all these children now?
Alina Habba, who is currently serving as counselor to the president, says sheâs working with the different agencies involved to identify and rescue trafficking victims and prosecute the perpetrators.
âI am drafting a couple executive orders regarding that currently that I think will be important to properly get this moving for those kids,â she says.
In her role advising the president, Habba says sheâs focused on human trafficking and Iraq. Habba is the daughter of Chaldean Catholics who fled Iraq in the 1980s.
We dive into her work today and get an update on the status of the long-awaited Epstein files.

There are few people who have played a more important role in broadly supporting the rights of religious believers in China than Marco Respinti, director-in-charge of the Bitter Winter magazine.
âIn the first six to eight months of our existence online as a magazine, some 40 people who were connected to us on the ground were arrested in China. ⊠Half of them simply disappeared,â Respinti says.
During the International Religious Freedom Summit in Washington, I had the great pleasure of finally sitting down with Respinti to discuss how the Chinese Communist Party systematically infiltrates, coopts, and destroys religious movements in China.

President Donald Trump has promised that he will bring back American manufacturing during his presidency. What if there arenât enough Americans who want to work those jobs?
âEvery year for the last decade or so, for every five tradesmen who retire, two replace them,â says Mike Rowe, Emmy Award-winning TV host of the Dirty Jobs series.
âIf we donât have a workforce who is disabused of the stigmas and the stereotypes and the myths and the misperceptions that have kept millions of kids from giving these jobs an honest look ... youâre going to wind up in a pretty nasty feedback loop,â he says.
âPeople still donât believe me. Even when I show them, not just the stats, but the actual humans who are making $150-grand a year welding with an $8,000 certificate, they just donât believe it,â he says.
Rowe is the founder of mikeroweWORKS Foundation, which awards millions of dollars in work ethic scholarships for young people to learn a skilled trade.

President Donald Trump has been widely criticized for his âtransactionalâ approach to diplomacy. But is that really such a bad thing?
In this episode, I sit down with China expert and retired U.S. Marine Col. Grant Newsham, a senior research fellow with the Center for Security Policy, to discuss Trumpâs approach to diplomacy and negotiations and how America can leverage what he describes as the âkryptoniteâ of the Chinese regime.

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the President Santiago Peña of Paraguay. He shared why Paraguay is one of only 12 countries in the world that recognizes Taiwan instead of communist China and one of only six countries that have moved their embassies from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Now Iâm sitting down with his foreign minister, RubĂ©n RamĂrez Lezcano, to learn more about Paraguay, the region, and Lezcanoâs candidacy for secretary general of the Organization of American States (OAS).
âParaguay matters in the agenda of the United States. Why? Because Paraguay is a very important and key partner for the United States,â says Lezcano. âI think that America abandoned for a long time Latin America. In the last year, the United States lost a lot of markets, a lot of investment, and a lot of opportunities. I think that [now] is the time to work closely again.â

âWhen I got my COVID vaccine, my reaction started within an hour, and it started with tingling down the same arm as my injection. It moved to my other arm, then it moved to my legs, and then it moved to my head, into my brain, and I had this horrific electrical, pulsating sensation through my body 24/7.â
Brianne Dressen was left severely injured after participating in the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine trials. Sheâs the co-founder of the nonprofit React19, which helps people impacted by COVID-19 vaccine injuries. React19 now advocates on behalf of over 36,000 people.
âWe canât be found in any kind of database that the public or anyone beyond the government can access,â she says. âAll of the programs that weâve developed, they work together in concert to build an avenue for healing for the people that literally have no avenue.â
Sheâs the subject of the new book âWorth a Shot?: Secrets of the Clinical Trial Participant Who Inspired a Global Movement.â

In this episode, we dive into Chinaâs influence and the communist regimeâs propaganda efforts worldwide. Joining us is Piero Tozzi, a longtime China expert and staff director of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China.
What are some key misconceptions we have about China and the Chinese regime? And are we finally seeing a real âpivot to Asiaâ as the Trump administration signals a dramatic reduction in U.S. military presence in Europe and demands that NATO allies pitch in more for Europeâs defense?

In January, the western province of Alberta in Canada released a 269-page reportâthe first of its kindâexamining the information and data that informed its response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
âDoctors felt pressure to do things they didnât agree with. We need to have good autonomy where a physician is doing things safely, but theyâre allowed to treat their patients in what they believe is the best for them. It still has to be regulated. You canât just have everybody off on their own, but it has to be done,â says Dr. Gary Davidson, an emergency physician and primary author of the report.
âI was asked to form a task force. Thereâs people on the task force that are more aligned with how I saw it or how I think, and then there were people invited to join who are not aligned with how I think or see it.â
The report found that pandemic lockdowns, masking mandates, and vaccine mandates all failed to achieve their intended results.
âThereâs just so much data out there. The Nordic countries did a huge studyâmillions of people, showing that if youâre under 50 years old, and if you donât have any really good reason, you probably shouldnât get this vaccine,â says Davidson. âAnd so thatâs what we recommend doing in Alberta.â

Andrew Hale is a senior trade policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation. In this episode, we discuss how Trump is using various trade tools to strengthen alliances and weaken adversaries.
âI look upon what heâs trying to do as a negotiating tactic. Heâs using tariffs as an instrument of statecraft, and also for economic coercion, to achieve matters that sometimes go well beyond trade policy,â Hale says.
Hale says that tariffs should be used against Americaâs foreign adversaries, but not necessarily against its allies.
âAmong [those on] the protection side, thereâs a knee jerk reaction saying a tariff is the panacea to all of our problems. And actually, a lot of these problems we created right here in Washington. And we can fix them right here in Washington, with dealing with some of the stupid and foolish regulations that we have,â he says. âWhat we cannot go back to is what we had during the Clinton years, what we had during the Bush years, the Obama yearsâwhich was this seamless trade with China, where we treat them as a market economy. Theyâre a non-market economy. Theyâre a foreign adversary.â

âWe had a case of a little cell of Christian believers who were all converts from Islam, and they were meeting secretly. And they were infiltrated by a radical terrorist group called Al Shabaab, and they burnt down the house. They captured some of them, they took them onto the beach, and only two of them managed to survive, because they killed the rest of them.â
Charmaine Hedding is the founder and president of the Shai Fund, a humanitarian organization that aids, protects, and even rescues persecuted minorities throughout the Middle East and Africa.
âIn 2014, I watched as the Islamic State swept over Syria and Iraq. And I watched as the Yazidi and the Christian women were taken as sex slaves and sold in the markets of Raqqa and in Turkey and across the Middle East. And I thought to myself, âWhoâs going to do something about this?ââ she says. âThe greatest struggle in the Middle East and in Africa, at the moment, is this concept of freedom of religion and belief.â
Hedding was born and raised in South Africa, where her father and grandfather were outspoken anti-apartheid activists. Because of their activism, they were eventually forced to flee to Jerusalem when Hedding was a child.
âBy the time I was 12, we were harassed by agents. And we had agents in the church. We were followed,â she says. âThe question that I remember asking myself as a child after reading the stories of the Holocaust is: If I was a European, what would I have done? And would I have put myself at risk to save a Jewish family? And thatâs what motivated me, that question.â
