Sweeping Citizenship Audit Could Deny Benefits to Illegal Immigrants

An audit of 28 major programs is being conducted across various federal departments to determine whether illegal immigrants have been getting taxpayer-funded benefits. This could see many people booted out of Section 8 housing, and lose other key benefits like food stamps. In other news, online researchers have uncovered a trend where the race of some criminals is misclassified as “white,” raising debate on why this is being done. We’ll discuss these topics and others, in this episode of Crossroads. Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

CCP Power Plays in Tariff Talks Explained | John Moolenaar, Chairman of the House CCP Committee

Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.) has been spearheading efforts in Congress to combat the threat posed by the Chinese regime to American interests—from economic warfare to espionage and infiltration—as chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party. “With rare earths, China is basically firing a loaded gun ... on our economy,” he says. He’s pushing a bill that would phase in a 100 percent tariff on all strategic goods from China. The tariff would not just penalize China but also incentivize “other countries, as well as the United States, to invest in this almost as if it’s a Defense Production Act activity.” Beyond rare earth minerals, what leverage does the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) have exactly in trade talks with the United States? What will the CCP’s strategy be? How should President Donald Trump respond to the CCP’s coercive tactics and its recent attempts to gain additional leverage? And what can America do to extricate itself from its dependence on China for some of its most critical manufacturing technologies? Moolenaar points out that the CCP is using its leverage not only over trade but also over Chinese nationals studying or working in America via its extensive United Front operations. “Under their recent national security laws, any Chinese national who doesn’t carry out the will of the Chinese Communist Party, no matter where they are in the world, on U.S. soil or somewhere else in the world, [is] in violation of national security laws,” Moolenaar says. On the other hand, is the position of the CCP really secure? And what about Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s position in particular? What signs of dissatisfaction and unrest are there among the Chinese population?

Here’s How Trump Can Leverage the CCP’s Greatest Vulnerability | Ambassador Sam Brownback

What if the most potent weapon that America has against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) isn’t nukes or tariffs? “This isn’t a competition between the largest economy and the second largest economy. This is a competition of ideals—and we’ve got the better ones,” says former Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom Sam Brownback. “If you want to hit them where it hurts, hit them on human rights issues, genocides in their own country, religious freedom that they don’t grant any of their people—whether they be Buddhist, Muslim, Falun Gong, Christians. That’s where they’re the weakest. It’s where they’re the most vulnerable.” Ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, I sat down with Brownback to understand what he sees as the Chinese regime’s greatest vulnerabilities, its deepest fears, and how those can be strategically leveraged by the United States. Brownback is co-chair of the International Religious Freedom Summit. He previously served as governor of Kansas from 2011 to 2018 and as a U.S. senator from Kansas, 1996 to 2011. His upcoming book is titled, “China’s War on Faith.” Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

What Doctors Often Don’t Tell You About Antidepressants | Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring

More than 11 percent of Americans take antidepressants, including rising numbers of kids and adolescents and even pregnant women. The majority of Americans believe that depression is linked to a chemical imbalance in the brain, and that drugs can fix this imbalance—just as someone with Type 1 diabetes might take insulin. But that’s not true, according to board-certified psychiatrist Josef Witt-Doerring. “There’s never been any evidence that there’s been a chemical imbalance,” Witt-Doerring says. “There is no way to differentiate patients who are depressed from those who are not depressed using any objective markers.” Instead of fixing a chemical balance, what antidepressants really do is mask symptoms, he says. A former FDA officer and now director of TaperClinic, Witt-Doerring helps people safely get off of psychiatric medications. In this episode, we dive into the realities of antidepressant drug use, what most patients often aren’t told by their doctors, and how a patient can be weaned off of psychiatric drugs safely and avoid devastating withdrawal symptoms. How do these drugs affect people long-term? Are they really safe for pregnant women? And what kinds of potential side effects do they have? And we dig into perhaps the most taboo subject of all: Is there a link between antidepressants and mass shootings?

The CCP’s Gloves Are Off in Trade War—What’s Next? | Lee Smith

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) recently imposed unprecedented export controls on rare earths, escalating the U.S.–China trade war. How is it that the Chinese regime managed to gain control of many of the most essential supply chains, from critical minerals to pharmaceuticals? How should the Trump administration approach this threat to national security? In this episode, we sit down with Lee Smith, author of “The Plot Against the President,” and the soon-to-be-released book, “The China Matrix: The Epic Story of How Donald Trump Shattered a Deadly Pact.” “It was simply American corruption that has allowed all of this to happen. And that’s certainly the point that [U.S. President] Donald Trump makes in the book,” Smith says. What is Trump’s strategy when it comes to China? How does he actually view Chinese leader Xi Jinping? Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
