“Tamara Lich and Chris Barber are charged with mischief and other related charges, the idea being that they counseled or encouraged truckers to come to Ottawa, stay in Ottawa, and to commit various unlawful acts. But so far, the evidence hasn't supported that Crown theory at all.” - Lawrence Greenspon

"If there was a conflict between choosing your own parents or the party, you should always always choose the party. And that's basically what the Red Guards did. Many of them denounced their parents. Many of them reported their parents and ended up with their parents being executed.” - Xi Van Fleet

"Here, especially today in schools, you are supposed to go to 'trusted adults' - not your parents...They want to cut the ties between parents and children. Why? That's how you control the children." - Xi Van Fleet

Utah is in a transition period of rolling out pilot programs such as digital IDs and smart cities.

How are the CCP, UN, and WEF managing to influence such a red state?

We discuss with Jason and Alexia Preston.

"It's really not to see what people want. It's how to get the programs they want passed through, so they can bring it to legislators and say, 'Well, 98% of the community wants walkable communities, so they want smart cities.’ So, they're shifting perspective in that way and shaping perspective. And this is something that has been creeping in for over the last several decades.”

Utah is becoming a technocratic, surveillance state, says “We ARE The People” hosts Jason and Alexia Preston.

"Associated Press actually came in and took a deep dive and looked at about 25% of [Utah's] legislators that have known Chinese ties. They've tried to pass CCP friendly legislation and there are personal business trips that these legislators are taking to China that can go completely unaccounted for." - Alexia and Jason Preston

"We had a situation in a time of peace where a thousand people were mutilated and butchered before the IDF responded. And yet that ignited these people on the campus to root for the people who were murdering & beheading…Their instinct and their training and their ideology was so perverted and out of mind that that was their natural Pavlovian response.”

To make sense of the realities of the #IsraelHamasWar, we sit down with classicist and military historian Victor Davis Hanson, bestselling author of a number of books including “The Dying Citizen” and the upcoming book “The End of Everything: How Wars Descend Into Annihilation.”

"If you came from Mars & you looked at Ukraine and Israel…

We tell the Israelis you can't have any collateral damage. You can't do this. And I could go on and on and on, but it's schizophrenic.

…It's antisemitic that a lot of people apply rules to the Jewish state, they would never apply to any other ally.”

Deep dive tonight with classicist and military historian @VDHanson

Jim Caviezel chooses his roles with one purpose: to bring humanity back to God.

The actor speaks candidly about his own failings and why living his faith takes more than saying the right things.

👉https://youtu.be/DsK_TwFmBCQ

“I’m just an actor, but I pick and I choose the right roles because I want to bring humanity back to God.”

“Because I want the world to know that I love Him.”

“I love God with all my heart, my mind, my soul.”

“He loved me, so I’m going to love Him back, and not what I say as I’m speaking, but what I do.”

“But in the next moment, I could be an absolute coward.”

“I have to continue to try and try and try.”

I sat down with Jim Caviezel for a personal conversation about God, courage, and the purpose behind his acting career.

The star of the new movie Ghost Soldier explains why the roles he chooses are inseparable from his faith.

From 2000 to 2020, obesity rates in America nearly doubled, but sugar and overall calorie consumption remained about the same.

So what caused the rapid increase in obesity?

Possibly seed oils, argues Dr. Cate Shanahan.

Seed oils—corn, canola, soy, and sunflower, to name a few—are a historically new source of fat in the modern diet.

And they may have severe consequences.

“There's a correlation here that is strongly suggestive that seed oils may be capable of increasing our weight without increasing our calorie consumption,” says Dr. Cate Shanahan.

“I would say that actually seed oils are worse than cigarettes.”

Family physician Dr. Cate Shanahan says oil reheated for days in fast food fryers breaks down into toxic compounds called aldehydes.

She says it is something parents rarely hear about from their pediatrician.

“One of the scientists named Martin Grootveld discovered that it’s pretty much the same as what you get from smoking an entire pack of cigarettes when you eat a large serving of fries.”

“These are thought experiments, and they need to be done by scientists, and they need to be published so that we can talk about them and say, ‘Is this accurate?’”

“I’ve run my own thought experiments.”

“Nobody gives a two-year-old a pack of cigarettes, but we very often do feed two-year-olds French fries from fast foods.”

“You should know this, and you’re not going to hear it in the doctor’s office or the pediatrician’s office.”

The child welfare system—including judges, doctors, social workers, and teachers—has been weaponized against parents, says Laura Hanford.

Sage Blair was 14 years old in Virginia.

Her high school secretly started treating her as a boy. She was badly bullied and assaulted in the boys’ bathroom.

That set off a spiral.

She ran away and was caught by a predator and disappeared for eight days.

When she was finally found, she had been sex-trafficked and raped, and she was in a different state.

The court refused to return Sage to her family on the grounds that her parents “misgendered her.”

She was placed in the boys’ quarter of a state home.

She ran away again and was caught by another trafficker.

This time, Sage was gone for months.

She was finally found in Texas and returned to her parents.

This is what happens when the system decides that parents are the problem, Hanford argues.

A 14 year old Virginia girl was secretly transitioned at school, trafficked by a predator, and then kept from her own parents by a judge.

Heritage Foundation senior policy analyst Laura Hanford says the judge called Sage Blair’s parents abusive for misgendering her.

“The counselors, instead of talking to her mother, they just started treating her as a boy, changed her name, changed her on their records, didn’t say anything to the mom.”

“She ended up getting badly bullied, and she was assaulted in the boys’ bathroom.”

“She was caught by a predator. She disappeared for eight days.”

“When the FBI found her in Maryland, a judge refused to return her to her parents because a public defender who got involved claimed that they were abusing her on the grounds of misgendering her.”

“They put her in the boys’ quarters of a state home in Maryland for two months, where she was harmed again.”

“The first domino in that entire story was deceit.”

A father weeping in court over his trafficked daughter was thrown out for getting her pronouns wrong.

Laura Hanford, a senior policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation, says the same judge refused to let Sage Blair get trauma care because the center would have treated her as a girl, not a boy.

“Her parents had still not even had a chance to hug her.”

👉https://ept.ms/4etEpfx

“The father couldn’t remember to use the new pronouns. And he was weeping so hard he kept forgetting. And the judge threw him out of the courtroom.”

“You have a father weeping because his daughter has been through this horrible ordeal, trafficked, raped.”

“The judge also refused to let Sage be treated in a trauma center for victims of exploitation because it would have treated her as a girl, not as a boy.”

Flávio Bolsonaro is now living in exile in the United States after losing Brazil’s recent presidential election three weeks ago. He says a Supreme Court justice ordered his passports seized seven minutes after the results came in.

He believes there was significant fraud in the voting process. President Lula da Silva disagrees.

In Brazil, there can be a big price to pay for claiming election fraud. Bolsonaro’s father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, is currently serving a 27-year sentence related to his efforts to challenge the results of the 2022 presidential election. He was convicted of attempted coup d’état and attempted violent abolition of the democratic rule of law, among other crimes.

In this episode, we sit down with the younger Bolsonaro for a deep dive. What comes next for him? Will he stay in the United States? And can he lead a movement from thousands of miles away?

Minutes after Brazil’s election results came in, a Supreme Court justice took Flávio Bolsonaro’s passports and barred him from leaving the country, he says.

Days later, federal police served the senator and presidential candidate in the street, right after he visited his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is serving a 27 year sentence.

With tears in his eyes, his father asked if he knew where this was all headed.
