Suella Braverman is the former home secretary of the United Kingdom, and a conservative member of the British parliament. While she was in Washington for President Donald Trumpâs inauguration, we sat down to talk about whatâs been happening in the U.K., and what Trumpâs election means to her and her constituents.
âWe need to learn a lot from the MAGA movement, from the success of the Republicans under Donald Trump, and really try and apply some of those lessons to U.K. politics right now, because we are mired in the depression, the recession, and the doom and gloom over socialism,â said Braverman.
We discussed the grooming gangs scandal currently making headlines in Britain, in which predominantly migrant gangs of men have been sexually assaulting and abusing young girls for roughly two decades.
âThe Pakistani men who were involved in this abhorrent behavior were targeting white girls for a specific reasonâthat they have an outdated, unacceptable view of women. And the authorities failed to act because they were scared of the charge of racism,â said Braverman. âItâs one of the biggest national scandals in our history.â
We also discussed issues related to anti-Semitism and free speech.
âWeâve got this problem in the U.K. of hate marches, where extremism, antisemitism, and Islamism can be paraded on our streets, and the police wonât take any action. And itâs caused a real increase in antisemitism, and itâs made parts of our streets and our public realm no-go zones for Jewish people,â she said.
âWe have a crisis of free speech in the United Kingdom, and I use that word deliberately. We have a situation where the police have the powers to record your information and log your details, if youâve said something that might be offensive to someone. It doesnât matter about the objective nature of what youâve said. If someone, somewhere, happens to be offended by what you have said, and it relates to a personal characteristic, race, gender, religion, or sex, then thatâs it. The case is closed. You will be considered guilty of what we call a ânoncrime hate incident.'â

At a young age, Cooper Davis was diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed a low dose of Ritalin, which helped his ability to focus but caused unwanted side effects. To counteract them, he was prescribed other medications. By age 30, Davis was dependent on six different psychiatric drugs at any given time, whatâs commonly known in the mental health community as a âprescription cascade.â
âItâs complicated enough that the scientific consensus will generally say, âWe donât quite understand why these drugs work,ââ says Davis.
Today, he is executive director of the Inner Compass Initiative, where he addresses Americaâs mental health crisis and overmedication problem by helping people make informed choices about prescription drugs, diagnoses, and withdrawal.
âOnce people experience withdrawal symptoms, they get back on the drug. They treat it as confirmation that they are still mentally ill,â says Davis. âExperiential expertise, expertise gained from your own life, is just as validâand probably more useful in many, many cases than clinical expertise.â
Davis says that one out of four adults in America and 6 million children are currently taking at least one psychiatric drug.
âThatâs going to be inclusive of teenagers, but it is certainly the trend that more and more kids that are younger and younger are being diagnosed and prescribed earlier and earlier.â

In this episode, we have a special guest: Paraguayâs President Santiago Peña.
Paraguay is a unique country. It is one of only 12 countries in the world that recognize Taiwan instead of communist China.
It is also one of only six nations in the world, alongside the United States, that have moved their embassies from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Peña said he made the decision despite immense opposition from other world leaders.
An economist, Peña served as Paraguayâs minister of finance before he was elected president. He assumed office in August 2023 after a landslide victory. During his tenure, Paraguay has seen robust economic growth, outperforming many other Latin American nations. Last year, Moodyâs awarded Paraguay an investment grade rating.
In this episode, I ask President Peña about what President Donald Trumpâs return to the White House means for Paraguay and Latin America more broadly, his hopes and economic strategy for Paraguay, why heâs concerned about communist Chinaâs influence in the region, and what he thinks about Trumpâs recent comments about controlling the Panama Canal and renaming the Gulf of Mexico.

President Trump says he wants the United States to control the Panama Canal and other regions and waterways that he says are crucial to Americaâs national security interests.
âThe question we would have to have with Panama is: Do you truly, verifiably know everything that China is doing in regards to your canal for national security concerns? And unless they could give us an answer of â100%, we do,â I think that weâre going to have to have more transparency on that. And I think thatâs where the conversation is at today,â says Joseph Humire. He is an expert on Latin America, specializing, in foreign policy, national security, and asymmetric warfare.
âWorst case scenario for the United States would be that [China] would find a way to disrupt the Panama Canal so that the United States no longer has rapid reaction capabilities to be able to move from the Atlantic into the Pacific,â he says.
In this episode, Humire breaks down the context of Trumpâs recent comments and explains how vulnerable the United States is to increasing Chinese, Russian, and Iranian influence in the region.
âThe United States has not had a grand strategy for the Western Hemisphere arguably in 100 yearsâarguably since the Monroe Doctrine,â he says.

âIn America, we really donât have a health care system, even though we call everything âhealthâ insurance, âhealthâ care, and this and that,â says Dr. Jingduan Yang.
âWeâre not healthy as a nation because we allocate all resources trying to deal with consequences of problems or disease, rather than to prevent [them] and find the root causes that cause those problems,â he says.
Yang is a specialist in psychiatry and integrative medicine, and is a fifth-generation practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. Heâs the CEO of Northern Medical Center and founder of the Yang Institute of Integrative Medicine.
Western medicine could learn a lot from the approach of Chinese medicine, he says, which emphasizes prevention before problems become structurally damaging and looking at every part of the body as part of an integrated system.
âIn Chinese medicine, every organ is connected. ... Therefore, thereâs no way you could address any part of the bodyâs issue without looking at the whole system,â Yang says.

âThe UK has now banned puberty blockersâprobably will ban cross-sex hormones too, is my prediction, in the next few years,â said Leor Sapir, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute.
He has been following the massive increase in children identifying as transgender and undergoing whatâs known as âgender-affirming careâ treatmentâfrom puberty blockers to double mastectomies.
â[The World Professional Association for Transgender Health] commissioned systematic evidence reviews as part of the process of developing [Standards of Care Version 8]. When it found out that the evidence reviews, specifically for minors, were unimpressive and did not get them the results that they wantedâthat would support their medical approach, they suppressed them. They basically instructed the researchers at Johns Hopkins University who were doing these systematic reviews to not publish them,â said Sapir. âAny way you look at it, WPATH greatly deviated from how responsible, trustworthy medical guidelines are supposed to be developed.â
His current area of focus is the pushback to gender interventions for minors, including state bans, lawsuits, and a landmark case now at the Supreme Court.
âThis case has tremendous consequences for whatâs going to happen in the 26 states that have banned these interventions in minors,â said Sapir.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is stepping up its efforts to destroy a religious group in America that it sees as a threat to its rule, according to leaked information from multiple CCP insiders.
Tactics include lawfare, bomb threats, smear campaigns, impersonation attempts, and bribing U.S. officials. The Department of Justice sentenced a Chinese agent for trying to bribe an IRS agent to target practitioners of the Falun Gong spiritual discipline.
So whatâs going on exactly? And why would this be a priority for the Chinese regime?
Today, Iâm sitting down with Erping Zhang, president of the International Falun Dafa Association.

âI think race is a very emotional issue with black America, and it can be very easily manipulated. And it has been manipulated for decades by people who use it to direct blacks to vote in a certain way.â
In this latest episode in our special series on the U.S. presidential transition, I sit down with Bob Woodson and Joshua Mitchell. Woodson is a civil rights activist and the Founder and President of the Woodson Center. Mitchell is a professor of political theory at Georgetown University.
âThe partisan debate on race is driven by guilty whites who are seeking absolution from crimes they never committed, and entitled blacks who are seeking absolution from injustices they never suffered,â says Woodson.
What does Trumpâs victory mean for black America? Will Trump be the first post-racial president? And what is the role of mediating institutions and what Woodson and Mitchell call âinvisible knowledgeâ in revitalizing American communities?
âWe have levels of despair and depression because the state has become this administrative behemoth, making citizen competence impossible,â says Mitchell. âWeâve got this invitation, literally, to return to the foundersâ vision, where we have citizen competence. The only way you can have small government is if you have massive citizen competence.â
âThe biggest challenge weâre facing is a moral and spiritual free-fall that is consuming people of all races and all colors,â says Woodson. âBut weâre not going to be able to find the source of this solution if we are separated by race, and thatâs why we must become post-racial.â

âOur bodies are not meant to handle these man-made chemicals that have been invented in the last 50 years. These chemicals are invented for one sole purpose, and thatâs to improve the bottom line of the food industry, not improve our health.â
In this episode, I sit down with author and activist Vani Hari, popularly known as the âfood babe.â For over a decade, she has been exposing toxic ingredients in Americaâs foodâand getting companies to stop using them.
â[The FDA has] not reviewed the safety data of these artificial dyes in over 10 years. However, childrenâs consumption of these artificial food dyes have increased 500 percent,â says Hari. âWeâre not trying to stop fast food or get rid of fast food. We want to make it the same as they do in Europe. McDonaldâs french fries: 11 ingredients here in the United States, including dimethyl polysiloxane, an ingredient you would find in silly putty ... but in the UK, thereâs three ingredients, and the fourth ingredient is optional. Itâs just salt.â
Hari argues that food companies should add a warning label to every product that uses artificial food dyes, as they already do in Europe.
âThat would automatically almost force the food industry to remove them here as well, because they do not want parents to be concerned about their products,â she says.

In this latest installment of our special series on the U.S. presidential transition period, Iâm sitting down with Nazak Nikakhtar, former assistant secretary of commerce for industry and analysis under the first Trump administration. Sheâs an expert on trade and national security and a partner at Wiley Rein LLP.
In this episode, we dive into the debate surrounding the use of tariffs. How have Chinaâs unfair trade practices destroyed American manufacturing? Will tariffs work? Or will they make things worse for the average American? And what other tools will Trump have at his disposal that can restore and protect U.S. industry?

âWeâre being lied to about chronic disease. Thatâs 90 percent of medical spendingâ92 percent of American deaths are chronic disease. Only 8 percent are infectious. And we have this system that profits from that. But what we could do, which is what President Trump and Bobby Kennedy talked about, is get to the root cause.â
In this episode, I sit down with Calley Means, co-author of âGood Energy: The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health.â
He has been working in the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement on a blueprint for reforming the public health establishment.
âWeâre going to let information out. Weâre going to do new research on why weâre getting sick. Weâre also going to release the existing research. Weâre going to stop infantilizing the American patient. Weâre going to trust Americans that theyâre trying to make the best decisions for their health and their kids,â says Means.
âI really think that the problem with public health in America right now is weâve relied too much on the experts. We should have expertise, we should have to read science, but we should have it open, and then really unlock flexibility for Americans to make the best decision for their personal situation with their doctors.â

âWe do need to shrink our spending and we need to get a hold on the debt, but it needs to be done in a way that you have the growth go first. Otherwise, youâre going to end up with less revenue, which means youâre going to actually widen the deficit and create a worse problemâa âno good deed goes unpunishedâ type of scenario.â
As part of our special series on the U.S. presidential transition period, Iâm sitting down with Carol Roth, a former investment banker and author of several booksâmost recently, âYou Will Own Nothing: Your War with a New Financial World Order and How to Fight Back.â
In this episode, we discuss the biggest financial challenges facing the incoming administration and how best to navigate them.

More than 5,000 minors in the United States underwent transgender surgeries between 2019 and 2023 and nearly 14,000 had transgender-related treatments, according to research into insurance billing codes conducted by the advocacy organization Do No Harm. In total, these treatments and procedures cost at least $119 million.
Dr. Stanley Goldfarb is a board-certified kidney specialist and the board chairman of Do No Harm, which recently released a national database on transgender-related services at medical facilities across America.
The âgender-affirmingâ treatment model is based on flimsy evidence and has, in many cases, robbed children of normal lives, he says.
Dr. Goldfarb says social justice ideology and diversity, equity, and inclusion standards have taken over medical education, to the detriment of patients. Students are no longer taught to think critically and to properly evaluate medical research and statistics for weaknesses and flaws, he says.

Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn has been advising President-elect Donald Trumpâs national security team. At Turning Point USAâs AmFest conference in Phoenix, I sat down with him to discuss key challenges facing the incoming administration, such as how to address Chinese Communist Party (CCP) control of the Panama Canal.
âWhoâs controlling this very important waterway? Itâs the most strategic waterway for the United States of America on the planet,â Flynn says. âChina is the dominant player right now between us and them.â
Lt. Gen. Flynn says the Chinese regime either owns or controls some component of 80 percent of the largest ports of our hemisphere. âAnd yet we have people in our government that go âRussia, Russia, Russia.ââ
He argues that although America has always been a benevolent ânation of givers,â it must focus more energy on domestic policy, and that every citizen has a responsibility to engage in local action.

At Turning Point USAâs AmFest conference in Phoenix, I sat down with former TV anchor Kari Lake, President-elect Donald Trumpâs pick to head Voice of America (VOA).
VOA is an international broadcaster funded by Congress that releases content in nearly 50 languages to more than 300 million people weekly around the globe.
It was founded in 1942 to combat Nazi propaganda and share the âpolicies of the United States clearly and effectively.â VOA later played a major role in the ideological fight against communism during the Cold War.
The director of Voice of America is officially nominated by the head of the U.S. Agency for Global Media. After Senate approval, the candidate must also be approved by a majority vote of the International Broadcasting Advisory Board.
What would Voice of America look like under Kari Lake?

As part of our special series on the U.S. presidential transition period, Iâm sitting down with Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.).
In the next Congress, Johnson will become chairman again of the homeland security committeeâs Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which has uniquely powerful subpoena powers to investigate crime and corruption within the U.S. government and beyond.
In this wide-ranging episode, we dive into the future of the Make America Healthy Again movement; what Johnson believes key steps are for the incoming administration to restore transparency, scientific integrity, and small government; and why Congress needs to retake its oversight authority.
âOur oversight authority is probably our greatest authority and greatest responsibility. ... Weâve got to fund government. But then once we funded it, we need to take a look at what we funded. ⊠What we passed, did it actually work?â

Forty-five key figures in Hong Kongâs pro-democracy movement were recently sentenced to up to 10 years each. More than 1,900 political prisoners have been convicted and imprisoned in Hong Kong in the last five years. Thousands more are simply being held without bail for years on end. About 40 percent of Hong Kongâs entire prison population is being held without a conviction.
âThey havenât even taken the trouble to convict these people in a kangaroo court,â says Mark Clifford, president of the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong Foundation.
Clifford has lived in Asia since the late 1980s and witnessed Hong Kongâs transformation from a largely free society in 1997, to an increasingly repressive one. He previously served as editor-in-chief of the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post and executive director of the Hong Kong-based Asia Business Council.
Heâs the author of multiple books, including âToday Hong Kong, Tomorrow the Worldâ and most recently âThe Troublemaker: How Jimmy Lai Became a Billionaire, Hong Kongâs Greatest Dissident, and Chinaâs Most Feared Critic.â
Hong Kong, once celebrated for its economic freedom and rule of law, has now become a key node for authoritarian regimes to evade sanctions, Clifford says. According to a report by Samuel Bickett, Hong Kong has become an indispensable location for the transfer of money, military technology, and prohibited products to Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

âDespite decades of a US Department of Education, weâre not doing any better in educating our students. If anything, weâre now doing worse ... I think the question is how the American people can best be served. The goal shouldnât be to preserve jobs of bureaucrats. The goal shouldnât be to preserve the status quo. We should ask, how can we best serve students and their families?â
As part of our special series on the U.S. presidential transition period, Iâm sitting down with Kenneth L. Marcus, former assistant secretary of education for civil rights and the founder and chairman of the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law.
