"We need to disengage from this mortal enemy. The supply chain & other dependencies is a formula for our destruction."—Center For Security Policy executive chairman Frank Gaffney on the Chinese Communist Party

"They said, 'We're not strong enough to use military force at the moment, but these are the ways we can conduct warfare against the United States decisively'...Their focus on recruiting, what has been called the 'old friends on Wall Street,' has been incalculably important to the Chinese Communist Party's whole agenda because it has enabled them to have us bankroll their unrestricted warfare against us.”

"The people who are doing business with China and, in the process, enriching and propping them up...are making a very cynical calculation that they personally will be enriched for whatever time they're doing that work. And unfortunately, the Chinese play that game. They do enrich those who play along. But they...also use increasingly coercive techniques to make you do things that you don't want to do, like...selling your proprietary seed corn technology, for example, and putting your company ultimately out of business because they've supplanted you."—Frank Gaffney, executive chairman of the Center for Security Policy

“Any parent who doesn't recognize that they're on a battlefield, that their children are ground zero in this effort, is going to lose…Collectivists are trying to co-opt and change the minds of our children.”

—The Tuttle Twins author Connor Boyack

“Collectivists for decades and centuries have recognized that they have to capture the minds and the loyalties of the young. Every authoritarian dictator in world history has tried to infiltrate the classroom,” says Connor Boyack.

He’s the author of the Tuttle Twins children’s books, which have sold over 4 million copies. He recently released “America’s History,” a new Tuttle Twins story-based textbook. At a time when revisionist history runs rampant, it offers an honest look at American history.

“Give our kid a shield and a sword before we send them out into the intellectual battlefield. Give them a foundation of these ideas [so] that when they're listening to their teacher or reading a textbook or looking at TikTok…they can evaluate those ideas, rather than just absorb them like a sponge,” Boyack says.

"When the government gets involved in telling a private company what to do, that is no longer a private company's action. That's state action. And that implicates the 1st Amendment."

Civil liberties attorney Jenin Younes has been leading major cases against government induced-censorship on social media platforms. She argues they’ve coerced private companies into censoring individuals like Stanford professor of medicine Jay Bhattacharya or former Harvard professor of epidemiology Martin Kulldorff.

“The CDC does not have rulemaking authority delegated by Congress, yet the CDC did the eviction moratorium, the federal mask mandate… It was complete abuse. And unless there's a real change, I'm afraid this is going to happen again,” says Jenin Younes, litigation counsel for the New Civil Liberties Alliance.

Younes has been leading a number of major cases against vaccine mandates and government-induced censorship on social media platforms.

How much of big tech censorship is compelled or coerced by government actors behind the scenes—from the FBI to Biden administration officials to the CDC?

"When the government gets involved in telling a private company what to do, that is no longer a private company's action. That's state action. And that implicates the 1st Amendment," Younes says.

…What the Sam Harris story demonstrates…is that supremely intelligent and rational people are not inoculated from parasitic thinking."

"We live like walking dead—without souls." — Former Chinese Police Commissioner and Deputy Chief of the Ministry of Public Security

An opaque regime, the Chinese Communist Party has managed to hide much of its inner workings with a massive propaganda apparatus and surveillance state.

Those who expose the regime’s secrets face imprisonment, torture, or death. Kay Rubacek, an award-winning filmmaker, managed to find and interview a number of defectors around the globe. She’s pored through official documents and speeches to understand the worldview of people serving the regime.

In this special episode, featuring never-before-released interviews with former insiders, Kay Rubacek and Jan Jekielek dive into the warped world of China's communist leadership, one largely hidden from public view by a massive propaganda apparatus.

"If you're telling me the only way to make peace is to uproot every single Jew from Judea and Samaria...what kind of peace is that?"—Jason Greenblatt, Trump's former Middle East Envoy & one of the chief architects of the Abraham Accords.

"Judea and Samaria is the heartland of Jewish history... There's no reason, historically, to remove them. But more important...the danger of a Jewish person walking around some Palestinian areas - in areas A & B and certainly in Gaza, where I wouldn't feel comfortable - those are real. And if you can't create a society where those threats don't exist, then you're not really creating peace."

“There was no way I was going to sign a statement saying that I was racist or that all white people were racist or that all of any race was anything. So I refused to sign it.”

Nicole Levitt, an attorney who represents domestic violence survivors, recently filed a discrimination complaint against her employer, Women Against Abuse, for, among other things, asking white staffers to sign declarations that all white people are racist, including themselves, she says.
