American Thought Leaders - Warren Farrell: Absent Fathers Big Factor in Mass Shootings
play

06/04/22 • 49 min

“There have been six mass [school] shootings that have killed more than 10 people ... All six of them have been done by boys who have been dad-deprived—from Sandy Hook right on through to the Texas shooting,” says Warren Farrell, author of “The Boy Crisis: Why Our Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do About It.”

The recent horrific Uvalde, Texas school shooting has prompted heated debate about gun control, school safety, and mental illness. But few are zeroing in on the importance of a father presence, Farrell argues.

The absence of an involved father is “the single biggest predictor of suicide... [and] one of the biggest causes of mental illness in boys and drug addictions in boys,” Farrell says.

“The mass is formed around the idea that the vaccines are magically going to be able to relieve them of this problem.”

In this two-part episode, we sit down again with Dr. Robert Malone, who pioneered the mRNA vaccine technology that’s used in many of the COVID-19 vaccines today. We discuss his career and look further into the intriguing psychological phenomenon known as “mass formation.”

We also dig into how COVID vaccines are faring against Omicron, how the term “herd immunity” has been grossly misunderstood, and the dangers of mandating vaccines for children.

“I may be one of the very few that has this depth of understanding of the technology that doesn’t have a direct financial conflict of interest. If I’m not allowed to speak about my concerns—whether they’re right or wrong—who is?”

“When we say war, the first thing Dave Stilwell thinks of is my F-16 with bombs, kinetics, killing people and breaking their things. ... That’s not how the PRC thinks of war.”

I sit down with retired Brigadier General David Stilwell. From 2011 to 2013, he served as the defense attaché at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing and was appointed assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific Affairs in 2019.

“We want this to be a cooperative relationship like we have with other countries. ... But after 40 years, you have to assume that this plan isn’t working and we’re going to have to change direction. And so the relationship is defined by the lowest common denominator, and that’s the PRC approach, which, guess what, is a cold war. ... It’s ideological, and in fact, is existential.”

Why is China engaging in dangerous aerial intercepts? What’s fueling the Chinese regime’s “zero-COVID” policy? And how is Beijing weaponizing our media and information systems against us?

“It’s not just social media companies or your right to be on Twitter, your right to be on Facebook. It’s everything. Email delivery services, online fundraising platforms ... It’s every aspect of your digital life,” says Heritage Foundation research fellow Kara Frederick.

From Twitter to GoFundMe, digital platforms have shut down accounts, fundraisers, or online transactions and removed people from aspects of digital life because of their political views. “These practices are frankly mirroring that of what China does in the social credit system,” she says.

Frederick previously served as a senior intelligence analyst for the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Command, and spent six years as a counterterrorism analyst at the Department of Defense. Later, she helped create and lead Facebook’s global counterterrorism program.

In this episode, she breaks down what she sees as an evolving Big Tech totalitarianism, and offers a strategy to rein it in.

American Thought Leaders - Aaron Sibarium: Elite Law Schools Are Going Woke
play

06/22/22 • 58 min

“The whole premise of the American legal system is that everyone—no matter how unpopular—deserves legal representation. John Adams famously defended the British soldiers accused of the Boston Massacre. And he said it was one of the greatest things he ever did for the fledgling Republic that he helped found. And that ethos is just not there to the same degree today.”

Was the Supreme Court draft ruling leak indicative of a broader shift in America’s legal institutions?

I sit down with Aaron Sibarium, a writer for the Washington Free Beacon and the former opinion editor of Yale Daily News. He’s been researching how law schools have been impacted by woke ideology.

“Law schools have, for many years, been graduating the sorts of people who believe that long-standing legal norms perpetuate oppression and that we are justified in suspending them in order to solve various moral emergencies,” Sibarium says.

How will this ideological shift impact America’s legal systems long-term?

"I had never seen a clause like this, and it basically stipulated that the Wuhan Institute of Virology could demand that the Galveston National Laboratory—again, a taxpayer-funded U.S.-based lab—would have to delete files, pathogens, materials.”

We sit down with National Pulse investigative reporter Natalie Winters to discuss the Galveston National Laboratory’s memorandum of understanding with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. And we also discuss her extensive research into Chinese Communist Party influence in America, from TikTok to compromised “fact-checkers” to serious conflicts of interest among the individuals that shaped America’s COVID-19 policy.

“Even since COVID-19, millions of dollars have continued to pour out of this country, taxpayer funds, to Chinese Communist Party-run labs and to fund research in China—when we know there’s no transparency.”

Editor’s Note: Our team reached out to Galveston National Laboratory for comment, and we have since received the following email statement from a spokesperson from the University of Texas Medical Branch, which runs Galveston National Laboratory: “The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) takes responsibility for the oversight in allowing memorandums of understanding (MOUs) to include a provision in conflict with applicable laws that guide UTMB’s operations ... Although MOUs are nonbinding and do not serve in any way as contractual agreements, upon learning of the error, the University of Texas System immediately directed UTMB to terminate any MOU that contained language that conflicts with law and policy. The University of Texas System recently launched a review of processes and practices at UTMB and is putting into place new levels of oversight for procedures. UTMB confirms no documents or confidential information has been destroyed, nor have requests been received to do so.”

“Virtually every piece of information that can be co-opted has been, whether it’s Wikipedia online, fact-checkers, the news,” says five-time Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson. “This is all part of a very well-funded, well-organized landscape that dictates and slants the information they want us to have.”

Attkisson is the host of Full Measure and author of “Slanted: How the News Media Taught Us to Love Censorship and Hate Journalism.”

PART 2: Dr. Paul Alexander on the Politicization of Science and Why Healthy Children Shouldn’t Get the COVID Vaccine

AMERICAN THOUGHT LEADERS

JAN JEKIELEK

“If you say these vaccines are safe for my children ... remove the liability protection.”

Previously, in part one of our exclusive interview with Brownstone Institute’s Dr. Paul Alexander, an expert in evidence-based medicine and clinical epidemiology, we discussed booster shots, the data on natural immunity, and the failures of lockdown policies.

Now in part two, he reflects on his time in the Trump administration and the backlash he faced after he opposed school closures and advocated for early outpatient treatment. And he breaks down why he believes mandating COVID-19 vaccines for children is unethical, unscientific, and dangerous.

On this episode of American Thought Leaders, I sat down with Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, a practicing physician, proud Muslim, and the founder of multiple organizations aimed at countering the threat of political Islam, more commonly referred to as “Islamism.”

“The hypocrisy of the left, the feminists, and others in their claim to be about women’s rights is just mind-boggling ... They think people are not going to notice ... their silence on supporting their actual allies, which are the women in the streets of Iran,” says Jasser.

We discuss the current protests in Iran, the role America should play in the Middle East, and the curious alliance between far-left ideologues and illiberal Islamists—what Dr. Jasser calls, “the red-green axis.”

“The relationship between AOC and Ilhan Omar is exactly the same in the U.S. Congress as it is in the UN between Iran and the Venezuelas and the Chinas of the world that are far-left communists ... They work together because they have a common fear and hate of freedom and liberty,” says Jasser.

Now in part two, we discuss how the COVID-19 vaccines are faring against Omicron, how the concept of herd immunity has been grossly misunderstood, and why he’s deeply concerned about vaccine mandates for children.

“They’re being forced onto your children. And they have risks. And the media—through its censorship—and Big Tech [are] blocking your ability to even learn what those risks are so you can make an informed decision for your children yourself. That is a huge crime.”
