Here’s How Trump Is Changing the Game in the Middle East: Josh Hammer

“You can essentially divide the region between two sets of players. You have the, broadly speaking, Western-aligned players, which essentially consist of Israel and the non-Islamist Arab countries—countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE—and then, on the other hand, you have the axis of Islamism—of support for Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood and jihadism. And that, these days, is mostly the Iranian regime of course, Turkey unfortunately under Tayyip Erdogan, and Qatar, Qatar being the lead financier of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood,” says Josh Hammer, host of the Newsweek podcast “The Josh Hammer Show” and author of “Israel and Civilization: The Fate of the Jewish Nation and the Destiny of the West.” “Iran is the source of evil in the Middle East. We should be very clear about that,” he says. “This is the world’s No. 1 state sponsor of terrorism. They have been ever since the hostage crisis that formed this horrific regime that ended the Jimmy Carter presidency in 1979.” What does an America First foreign policy look like? How does Trump’s Middle East strategy fit into it? And what about the U.S. relationship with Qatar? “America has always been engaged on the world stage. So the fact that we’re not necessarily going to be going around crusading in the name of spreading liberal democracy does not necessarily mean that we have no interest in the world. We’re America first, but you have to be America smart as well,” says Hammer.

Michael Shellenberger: How China Gained Control of Solar—And Why It Matters

“It’s now been revealed that the Chinese—who manufacture virtually all of our solar panels, both in the United States and Europe—have been installing cellular radios inside the inverters, which can act as kill switches,” says Michael Shellenberger, an investigative journalist, author, founder of Public, and CBR Chair of Politics, Censorship, and Free Speech at the University of Austin. Shellenberger is the author of the books “San Fransicko” and “Apocalypse Never.” In this wide-ranging interview, we dive into key vulnerabilities in America’s energy grid, how Trump is transforming America’s energy future, the current status of the “censorship industrial complex,” as Shellenberger describes it, and his continued fight for government transparency, including around unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs). Two years on from the publication of the Twitter Files—in which Shellenberger played a key role—where are things now?

Inside Story of the Chinese Scholar Arrested for Smuggling Crop-Killing Fungus in the US

On June 3, federal agents arrested a Chinese researcher who was working at the University of Michigan. The reason for the arrest was that this scholar was allegedly part of a scheme to smuggle a biological pathogen into the United States. Specifically, she and her boyfriend were trying to smuggle in a type of fungus that can be used to target food crops here in America (things like wheat, barley, and rice). This particular fungus would have the effect of absolutely decimating these crops. In fact, the feds characterized this plot as being a form of “agroterrorism,” or agricultural terrorism. Furthermore, after looking into it, it turns out that this latest incident wasn’t this couple’s first time—as they’ve actually smuggled in viral pathogens on several other occasions as well. Now that the FBI’s indictment has been unsealed in federal court, let’s go through the details of it all together—because the details are wild.

The Wisdom of Athens and Jerusalem and Lessons for Today: Jacob Howland

“When we are dispersed and we interact with other human beings only online, and the algorithms feed back our preferences and desires to us, what it effectively does is kind-of isolate us in these multiple sub caves.” Jacob Howland is the provost of the University of Austin, a new, private liberal arts university that is pushing back against censorship and politically popular narratives in higher education. As dean of the Intellectual Foundations program, Howland gives students a comprehensive education in the Western tradition, emphasizing both “Athens and Jerusalem,” he says. “After communism fell, it’s as if the historical amnesia had removed the capacity of those who were still around to reckon with the past,” he says. “There are inexhaustible resources in the tradition, and if we’re going to find our way forward, we’ve got to understand the past.” Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Max Tegmark on AI Superintelligence: We’re Creating an ‘Alien Species’ That Would Replace Us

Few people understand artificial intelligence and machine learning as well as MIT physics professor Max Tegmark. Founder of the Future of Life Institute, he is the author of “Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.” “The painful truth that’s really beginning to sink in is that we’re much closer to figuring out how to build this stuff than we are figuring out how to control it,” he says. Where is the U.S.–China AI race headed? How close are we to science fiction-type scenarios where an uncontrollable superintelligent AI can wreak major havoc on humanity? Are concerns overblown? How do we prevent such scenarios? Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

How AI Has Become a Social Pathogen

Artificial intelligence (AI) is slowly creeping into daily life. And it’s not just people using it for work. Some people are turning to it for therapy, while others are looking to it for medical diagnoses. Some are starting to regard it as a replacement for talking to a friend. This is all raising concerns over whether AI could lead to a new type of social pathogen that could even deepen the darker parts of human nature.

How Numbers Can Lie in Scientific Research: Dr. Lynn Fynn

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.
