In a detailed interview with Jan Jekielek, senior editor at Epoch Times and host of "American Thought Leaders," he discusses the media landscape and the journey of Epoch Times.

Jekielek shares insights on the publication's transition to a subscription model, its role in challenging mainstream narratives, especially during the Trump administration, and its commitment to exposing human rights abuses like organ harvesting. The conversation also touches on Jekielek's personal transition from biology to journalism, his connection with Falun Gong, and the ongoing fight against censorship and for transparency in media. https://x.com/AmThoughtLeader Connect with Jan 𝕏 - https://x.com/JanJekielek website - https://www.theepochtimes.com/author/jan-jekielek Host on American Thought Leaders - https://x.com/AmThoughtLeader Holocaust Documentary - https://findingmanny.com/ Connect with Hearts of Oak...

In this engaging podcast episode with Hearts of Oak, Kevin Sorbo dives into a variety of pressing social, political, and cultural topics. He begins by recounting his personal experiences with the devastating wildfires in California, linking them to broader issues of state mismanagement and speculating on possible causes, including terrorism. Sorbo critiques California's political leadership, particularly Governor Gavin Newsom, attributing the state's challenges like crime and water resource management to liberal policies, which he believes are driving residents to more conservative states like Florida and Texas.

Join us for a powerful episode of our podcast as we confront the harrowing reality of grooming gangs in the UK. We revisit the 2012 revelations by The Times about the Rotherham scandal, where over 1,500 children were victims of sexual abuse, a grim reminder of a much larger, systemic issue spanning across 40+ towns. Through the story of Elizabeth Harper, we explore the personal horrors endured by victims and the institutional neglect that has allowed these abuses to continue unchecked.   This episode features deep dives into the courageous work of groups like Risky Business, who've been at the forefront of supporting survivors. We'll share raw interviews with survivors and their families, shedding light on the intimidation and silence that has often surrounded these cases. We'll discuss how political correctness has potentially hindered law enforcement and justice, examining the cultural and societal underpinnings that have fueled these crimes.   From the Rotherham Inquiry to the Jay Report, we'll analyze how these investigations have highlighted the failures of authorities and the urgent need for reform. We'll also tackle the legal battles survivors face, exemplified by Liz's ongoing fight for justice, which underscores the broader challenges in our legal system.   This isn't just a recount of past horrors; it's a call to action. We'll discuss the need for systemic change, the role of public figures in maintaining this conversation, and the importance of ensuring reparations and justice for victims. Tune in to understand how we can all contribute to reshaping a society where such atrocities are not just condemned but actively prevented. Don't miss this crucial conversation on safeguarding our youth and demanding accountability.   LIVE recorded  06.01.25 Connect with Hearts of Oak...
