Dr. Lynn Fynn is a clinical research scientist and a retired infectious disease specialist. We sat down together to discuss issues she sees plaguing medical research, including the misallocation of funds, a broken peer review process, and major conflicts of interest.”Any time you incentivize something, you're creating a bias. And when you create a bias, there's an element of truth that's removed from the equation,” says Dr. Fynn.“When a pharmaceutical company gets to pour money into a program, the curriculum is going to reflect what they want it to reflect, to make it a profitable transaction for them. It's a return on investment.”What practical steps are needed to restore public trust in science and medicine?“Where there's transparency, there's trust. It's really that simple,” says Dr. Fynn. “Oftentimes, [in] what used to be the scientific method, the process gets reversed. They look at the conclusion that is agreeable or preferred, and then they start working backwards. How can we prove this conclusion?”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

The United States is moving to uphold free speech globally, and this could even impact foreign leaders. The State Department announced it will begin restricting the visas of any foreign national involved in censoring, or even trying to censor, the protected expressions of anyone within the United States. And alongside this announcement, the United States has also deployed a team to carry out investigations in Europe of how censorship laws have impacted the rights of even non-U.S. citizens.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

“Hollywood is about as left and progressive a community as there is in this country. And unfortunately, part of the box you have to check in that very left, super progressive space is being anti-Israel and being pro-Palestine in an anti-Israel way,” says Jonah Platt.Platt is a jack of all trades in the entertainment industry—an actor, director, producer, and singer. In the aftermath of the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre of Israelis led by terrorist group Hamas, he launched the podcast “Being Jewish.”He recently visited Auschwitz, the largest German death camp, alongside over a dozen Muslims. He went with the organization Sharaka, which builds on the work of the Abraham Accords and educates Middle Easterners and other Arabs and Muslims around the world about the Holocaust.“Some of these people came on this trip at great personal risk. If you're coming from Pakistan to hang out with Jews in the middle of this Israel-Gaza war, I mean, you could be in real, physical danger. Some people—they couldn't be in any photos and their identities had to be kept secret to protect them,” says Platt. “There were Jewish slaves [at Auschwitz], working out in that kind of rain in threadbare pajamas, starving to death, and having to do physical labor and be shot if they didn't keep up. And meanwhile, I'm freezing in the cold, but I get to go on a warm bus and get a hot meal after this.”In this episode, we discuss how to navigate being Jewish and Zionist in a society that is becoming increasingly hostile to Israel.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.***Disclaimer: One of the producers for American Thought Leaders participated in the Sharaka program to Poland on an all-expenses paid trip.

All student visa applications to the United States are officially on hold. The Trump administration gave orders to all U.S. embassies to freeze all student visa applications.

Close to 13 million people could soon lose access to Medicaid and Obamacare, although this only applies to two main groups: illegal immigrants, and able-bodied Americans under 64 years old who refuse to work at least part-time. The change of policy was just approved in a House vote under the “Big Beautiful Bill,” but will now have to make its way through a Senate vote before becoming law. We'll discuss this topic and others, in this episode of Crossroads.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

The Trump administration will request federal agencies to cut off their contracts with Harvard University in response to what it says is the school's handling of anti-Semitism and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. There are 30 federal contracts worth about $100 million, according to the General Services Administration (GSA). A letter to the agencies is scheduled to be sent on May 27, a GSA spokesperson told The Epoch Times.Four people were "very, very ill in hospital" after sustaining injuries when a car ploughed into a crowd of Liverpool fans during a Premier League title parade, the city's mayor said on Tuesday, adding he hoped they would "pull through."FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said the bureau is looking at launching investigations into possible public corruption cases. Bongino says he and FBI Director Kash Patel made the decision to either reopen or allocate additional resources to the cases shortly after swearing in.

A few months ago, Canada unveiled its national memorial to the millions of victims of communism.In this episode, Ludwik Klimkowski, chair of the Tribute of Liberty, gives us a tour of the memorial and reveals the 17-year battle to realize it as the group navigated changing political winds.“This is a memorial to those who still struggle. This is the memorial given to those who still want to escape. This is the memorial to those who are still sitting in prison, whose organs are being harvested,” Klimkowski says.The memorial was inaugurated last year, although the final elements on the Wall of Remembrance are still under development.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

The World Health Organization has now officially passed a controversial pandemic accord. The international agreement is legally binding. What this agreement does is create a new program for the global sharing of pathogen data and samples, on anything that could potentially spark a pandemic. It also makes it so that any pharmaceutical manufacturer that's part of this system now has to give 20 percent of its products for “equitable” distribution.In other news, President Donald Trump met with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa during a press event at the White House.

In this episode, we sit down again with Victor Davis Hanson, a classicist, military historian, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, and author of two dozen books, including most recently “The End of Everything.”In this interview, we dive into the multifaceted dimensions of what he describes as Trump's “counterrevolution” in the foreign policy space, from Canada to China to the Middle East to Ukraine and Russia.What might the end of the wars in Ukraine and Gaza look like?Should Trump have accepted a plane from Qatar's royal family? Was it a good idea to lift U.S. sanctions on Syria's new leader? Is there any truth to rumors of friction between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu?Is it possible that Trump actually, in some sense, wanted Mark Carney to win and become Prime Minister of Canada?And how can the United States ensure the Chinese leadership upholds their commitments in a trade agreement, given their track record of not following through?Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Retailers are warning that high costs from U.S. tariffs are about to hit. Some of them are planning to shoulder the extra costs themselves. Others are saying that they will increase prices.

There are allegations that the Trump administration is collaborating on a new reality TV show where immigrants compete for a prize of U.S. citizenship. And the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has now responded. In other news, the U.S. Supreme Court has effectively blocked part of Trump's plans for mass deportations under the Alien Enemies Act.

There are few people who understand the workings of Chinese espionage as well as Nicholas Eftimiades.After a 34-year government career—including time at the CIA, Department of State, and Defense Intelligence Agency—he's now a professor at Penn State University's Homeland Security Program and a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council.“China uses what we call a whole-of-society approach to conducting espionage. … We're not talking about thousands [of people]. We're talking about tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people engaged globally in carrying out the CCP's will,” Eftimiades says.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

A recent discovery is raising concerns over whether America's electricity could be shut off by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) at a moment's notice.

“One of the major driving factors of the extreme polarization that we're living through right now is that most news consumers can very easily … tune in somewhere where they are just being force fed worldviews and perspectives that confirm all their priors,” says journalist Isaac Saul.“Think about what media outlets are really making their audience uncomfortable on a regular basis, and there's very few of them,” he says.After writing for a wide variety of media outlets and seeing some disturbing trends, Saul decided to found Tangle, a newsletter that puts viewpoints from both the left and the right side by side.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Money sent home by illegal immigrants in the United States could soon be taxed by the U.S. government. Remittances are a top incentive for many illegal immigrants looking for work in the United States, and there are broad systems set up to help them send money to their families in the countries they came from. But a new bill could put that money up for taxation.Views expressed in this episode are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Guten Morgen! Epoch Times hat Staatsrechtler Dr. Ulrich Vosgerau um eine Einschätzung zum AfD-Verfassungsschutzbericht gebeten. Seine Zusammenfassung in aller Kürze: „Es ist größtenteils Quark“. Dann untersuchen wir, wie es um die Reparaturfähigkeit von Solaranlagen, Windrädern und Co. steht. Zudem geht es darum, was die Ampel-Ex-Minister jetzt machen und wie viel Geld sie nach dem Regierungsende bekommen. Ich verrate schon mal so viel: Abgesichert sind sie durch Übergangs- und Ruhestandsgehälter und eine „rechtliche Fiktion“.

President Donald Trump is on a three-day tour of the Middle East that can potentially rewrite U.S. relations in the region. His statements during events in Saudi Arabia have sparked new debates over globalism, previous wars, and a potential new way forward for relations. This also included major investments and new agreements on defense. In addition to Trump's other plans to visit Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, he's also offering diplomatic fresh starts to Syria and even Iran.In other news, the United States welcomed a group of 59 South African farmers under a refugee program. Communist organizations in South Africa have been carrying out a genocide against the farmers. The incident is also sparking some debate around race politics, given that the farmers are white.Views expressed in this episode are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

“This system I had been turning to for help through all of these years, through the most formative years of life, that I had been assuming existed to take care of me ... was actually a system of control. And I just hadn't seen it for what it was, because I had never said no to it before,” says Laura Delano, author of “Unshrunk: A Story of Psychiatric Treatment Resistance.”For 14 years, Delano was a “professional mental patient,” as she puts it, after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder when she was a teenager.Now she wonders whether the dominant, medicalized approach to mental illness is actually making us as a society sicker.“Sixty-five million American adults and 6 million American children are currently on psychiatric drugs, and there are zero off ramps for getting them off these drugs safely within the mental health industry. Zero,” she says. “This is not about being ‘pro' or ‘anti.' This is about using straightforward, honest language to talk about what these drugs are, to talk about our limits of knowledge around what these drugs are and how they actually affect us, and then to let people make their own decisions from there based on their own life circumstances.”In this episode, we dive into Delano's story and discuss the dangers of relying solely on medical treatments to treat mental health issues and of rapidly withdrawing from psychiatric drugs.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Americans have been shouldering the cost of medicines, while the rest of the world has received a discount, according to the White House. And now, the Trump administration says it's putting an end to the practice. The president's new executive order is expected to reduce the costs of medications in the United States while causing the costs to rise in other countries.In other news, the Trump administration is now negotiating a trade deal with the Chinese regime. After meetings over the weekend, it was announced that both countries would temporarily lower their tariffs, and that this will last around 90 days while talks continue.Views expressed in this episode are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

The Supreme Court could have the final say over whether judges across the nation can continue putting orders from the president on hold.A case that will be heard this Thursday will focus on whether district judges have the authority to place nationwide injunctions on President Donald Trump's executive orders. And this case could be pivotal in determining the divisions of power between the different branches of the government.Views expressed in this episode are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

“Donald Trump is looming so large in the Canadian consciousness right now,” says Brian Lee Crowley.“And I have seen a lot of my compatriots running around like chickens with their heads cut off, saying, ‘Oh my God, Donald Trump is a mad man. You can't understand what he's doing. There's no rhyme or reason to it.' And I looked at what Donald Trump was doing, and I thought, ‘Okay, I don't have to like it. That's a separate question. But if the question is, 'Can I understand it?' The answer is yes.”Crowley is the founder and managing director of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, a Canadian think tank whose work is often cited by the Canadian Parliament.“What exactly is the difference between Canada and America, or Canadians and Americans? It's not that it's difficult to answer because there aren't differences. It's difficult to answer because the differences are subtle and hard to express,” says Crowley.“Remember that America broke away through a violent revolution from the crown and the United Kingdom—from Great Britain. Canadians never experienced that.”In this episode, we dive into the recent election in Canada, Trump's comments about Canada as America's 51st state, and what the future of United States–Canada relations may look like.“Canada exports 50 percent of everything made in the private sector, and the vast bulk of that, like 90 percent, goes to the United States. But [in] the United States, by contrast, foreign trade, or international trade, only represents barely 25 percent of the amount of the American economy, and that's diversified across all of its trade partners. So, while for Canada, the relationship with the United States is existential, for America, the relationship with Canada is convenient, nice—not existential.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

The new pope has been selected. Robert Prevost will now become the first-ever American pope, and he'll now be known as Pope Leo XIV.In other news, the United States has reached a new trade agreement with the United Kingdom.

Dr. Paul Marik is a pulmonary and critical care specialist and a founding member of the Independent Medical Alliance, formerly known as the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance.“Our healthcare system is completely and utterly broken. From the top to the bottom, it's a broken, dysfunctional system,” says Marik. “If you do an experiment, it should be reproducible. And I think that's the most important qualifier of good science; the results are reproducible, because then, it's likely to be true.”Best known for his revolutionary, lifesaving protocol for Sepsis and for being the second most published critical care physician in the world, Marik is now focusing his efforts on the treatment and prevention of cancer.“Intermittent fasting, in which the body was designed to eat for a while and then to starve for a while, is not a difficult concept. The human body wasn't designed to snack and eat all the time, which is what people seem to do. And that has serious metabolic consequences, with high insulin levels and insulin resistance,” says Dr. Marik. “Vitamin D is effective in preventing cancer, but it's also very effective in the treatment of cancer.”Views expressed in this video are those of the host and the guest and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

A controversial research program is now again being restricted. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on May 5 about “Improving the Safety and Security of Biological Research.” The order takes aim at practices including gain-of-function research, where scientists add new capabilities to existing pathogens. And in particular, it also addresses taxpayer-funded research programs in other countries where restrictions may not be as strong.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Alcatraz could soon be reopened as a prison. The facility on a small island in San Francisco was closed as a prison in 1963 and has since been turned into a tourist destination. But President Donald Trump says he wants the facility reopened to house the most dangerous criminals. And while some have suggested the prison is not feasible because of its limited space and high maintenance costs, Trump says it will act as a symbol of law and order.Views expressed in this episode are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Two very different agendas are now at odds over the return of American manufacturing. One trend was that of so-called deindustrialization. The concept refers to the destruction of a nation's manufacturing industry, with a shift to other forms of employment, primarily in the service industry. This trend was evident in the United States over the past few decades, with manufacturing industries heading offshore to countries such as China. Now, however, a new agenda is being declared: reindustrialization. And the return of American industry could again change the global economic order.Views expressed in this episode are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

While the last four years saw the adoption of policies in line with DEI, or “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” the emerging culture is going in the opposite direction. The Pentagon declared in a recent video that the focus is no longer on DEI but instead on the idea of the “American warrior.” Troops are now being pushed to lose weight and become stronger. And many recent videos from official military accounts are posting videos with high firepower and that demonstrate some of the U.S. military's emerging capabilities.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

One of the first things that President Donald Trump did upon assuming office was to take an agency first established by President Barack Obama and change it into the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).He then placed Elon Musk in charge of that department, with the stated goal to root out government waste and fraud. And what's been happening for the past three months is that DOGE has found a lot of what it calls wasteful spending. It's not just “finding it,” however. Different departments of the government are taking steps to cut spending and cancel contracts, based on DOGE's recommendations.According to the official tally, DOGE's efforts have saved U.S. taxpayers roughly $160 billion—which is equivalent to just under $1,000 saved for every U.S. taxpayer.However, for a variety of reasons, most media have stopped devoting major coverage to DOGE's efforts. There was a lot of coverage at the beginning, when many people were getting laid off, but recently, immigration-related news has taken a lot of the oxygen out of the news cycle, and therefore, most people don't know what DOGE has been up to recently.Today, we give you a comprehensive update on what DOGE has been doing for the past month.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

“Never before in history have two great trading entities ever engaged in outright economic warfare, like is being engaged today. And that's why I say we're living in historic times,” says Steve Bannon, former White House chief strategist during President Donald Trump's first administration and host of the “War Room” show.“It's not just tariffs. They're a tool. [Trump]'s reorganizing the world system of commerce and of trade,” Bannon says.In this episode, we dive into the U.S.–China trade war, Trump's tariff strategy, his first 100 days in office, and where America is headed in the weeks and months to come.“The next 100 days is going to be three times more intense, dramatic, and meaningful than the first 100 days,” Bannon says.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

The White House Correspondents' Dinner was a little different this year. No president. No comedian. The event featured a mea culpa from an Axios journalist who discussed the media's complicity in failing to expose Biden's mental decline. Meanwhile, Substack promoted an alternative parallel event called “Not The White House Correspondents' Dinner” with an email that announced, “a new media order is emerging.” Legit—or just another conspiracy touting MAGA sham? Julian reports on the proceedings of both events, as well as how the media landscape is shifting in ways that render the definitions of terms like “independent,” “journalism,” and “unbiased” hard to pin down. Digging beneath the surface on Substack, and outlets like The Free Press, and the increasingly mainstreamed far right cult-rag the Epoch Times, all of which claim in some way to represent this emergent new media order, leads him to ask: where is the real home of fact-based independent journalism?

“They picked me up, and I'm hopping on one leg. And I saw Commander Griffin, Major Gray, Major Kennedy, and then USAID [officer] at the time, Ragaei Abdelfattah, were all killed by the same bomber that didn't kill me,” said Florent Groberg.Groberg is a retired U.S. Army Captain who fought in Afghanistan and was severely injured attempting to thwart a suicide bomber. For his actions, he received the Medal of Honor, America's highest award for military valor.“Everything that we have in this nation is because of men and women who put their lives on the line and didn't come home. And their families—they have to live with the consequences of that,” he said.I spoke with Captain Groberg on a wide range of topics, from DeepSeek AI and swarming drones to the war in Ukraine and the threat from China's communist regime.“When I first heard about DeepSeek and its battle with Open AI ... I saw it as an opportunity for the Chinese government to have free access to all of our data as they see fit,” said Groberg. “The Chinese have been developing the majority of the world's small drones. I believe that the majority of the Russian [drones] come from China. ... I know that Ukrainians are also using their own specific drones, and they're creating as much chaos on the other side. So, it really has changed the landscape of warfare.”Views expressed in this video are those of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
