Why most published research findings are false… There is increasing concern that in modern research, false findings may be the majority or even the vast majority of published research claims. However, this should not be surprising. It can be proven that most claimed research findings are false.” This is a remarkable finding and is certainly not going unnoticed…
The Other Side of the Story with Dr. Jay Lehr and Tom Harris – Did you know that our homes are full of products derived from petroleum in their production? Things like construction materials such as roofing and housing insulation, linoleum flooring, furniture, appliances, and home decor such as pillows, curtains, rugs, and house paint. Even much of our…
6,000 products in our daily lives are made from oil derivatives that are manufactured out of crude oil. And how about the fuels needed for the 50,000 merchant ships and the 50,000 jets in the world? They are all dependent on fuels manufactured from crude oil, the same substance that Newsom wants to eliminate. Newsom is unable to understand that renewables cannot manufacture…
The Other Side of the Story with Dr. Jay Lehr and Tom Harris – Flying in the US, Europe, and Australia is much (much) safer than driving a car. Your chances of being in an accident during a flight are one in 1.2 million, and the chances of that accident being fatal are one in 11 million! Your odds of dying in a car crash are one in 5,000…
Astonishingly, those tens of thousands of flights equate to about 70% of the world’s air traffic. However, Command Center personnel do not talk to pilots on the radio, not even once. The 300 personnel at the Command Center adjacent to the Potomac TRACON act as collaborative decision-makers as they attempt to balance the flow of air traffic across the nation…
This topic is vitally important today as many churches across the world increasingly support the climate scare. Are they being scientific, as one would expect from those practicing authentic Christianity? Or are they, in fact, abandoning the scientific method, and straying further and further away from the foundations of their faith to the sort of idealism and…
The Other Side of the Story with Dr. Jay Lehr and Tom Harris – Coal, oil, and natural gas provided 81.2 percent of the world’s primary energy supply, the same share as in 1991. Today, petroleum fuels account for 90 percent of US transportation. More than 99 percent of aviation fuel comes from oil. More than 99 percent of international shipping fuel comes from oil or natural gas…
Renewable energy is headed for a breakdown. The 2022 world energy crisis may be just the first of several transnational energy shocks that demonstrate the futility of a future based on renewables. Energy shortages and astronomical costs may plague Europe for a decade. Green-minded states in the US and provinces in Australia may be next on the list for power system failures and escalating costs…
The Other Side of the Story with Dr. Jay Lehr and Tom Harris – In the battle for the hearts and minds of Americans against the woke, unscientific, and dangerous climate scare, no organization is more hated by extreme leftists than The Heartland Institute. That is because the Arlington Heights, Illinois-based free-market think tank has contributed more to…
The enemy has now taken over the government, the press, corporations, the education system, the military, and churches, and, through these organizations, now promotes extreme policies supposedly for our own good “to save the planet.” Anyone who questions this is canceled, fired, or subject to public shaming and worse…
The Other Side of the Story with Dr. Jay Lehr and Tom Harris – This topic is especially important because the industry is being held to standards that are unneeded yet cost everyone a fortune. Our guest today, Steve Milloy, a scientist and lawyer famous for his 20-year-old website junkscience.com, tells us about coal miners who are exposed to high levels of…
It is not well known to the public that the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has attempted to take over virtually all industries in America by claiming that exposure to particles in the air as small as 2.5 millionth of a meter can cause death in a matter of minutes, hours or days. It is called the PM2.5 rule. The EPA has succeeded with…
The Other Side of the Story with Dr. Jay Lehr and Tom Harris – The SEC supposedly promotes full public disclosure and protects investors against fraudulent and manipulative practices in the market. But is the SEC really doing this when it comes to their ESG proposed rule? And what on Earth are they doing promoting the climate scare?
The SEC approvingly cites several reports and numerous comments by prominent ESG advocates. However, the Commission seems unaware of the questionable premises on which much of that literature is based. For example: Favor climate risk assessments based on warm-biased models run with warm-biased emission scenarios. Societal factors such as increases in population and exposed wealth…

I highlight how restoring freedom of expression dispels ideologies like open borders, transgender dogma, and DEI. I explain how narratives suppress dissent by controlling media, education, and social pressure. As these barriers crumble, truth emerges through debate, preserving ordered liberty. I emphasize that the First Amendment serves as society’s immune system, ensuring accountability and preventing authoritarian overreach.
The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – Colorado parents nationwide decry Democrats’ proposal to classify misgendering and deadnaming as coercive control in custody battles. Facing backlash and rewritten legislation, Senate Democrats traded dialogue for derision, insulting Christian Americans. Senator Kolker’s sacrilegious remarks highlight partisan contempt over moral conscience in the gender ideology debate and religious convictions clashed.
The current massive promotion and distribution of methylene blue is in many ways worse than the massive distribution of prescriptions. Methylene blue is promoted with incredibly unrealistic claims for cognitive improvement, high energy, and profound feelings of well-being — all of which are really danger signs of brain dysfunction from over-stimulation of four key neurotransmitters…
America Out Loud PULSE with Dr. Randall Bock – Eyal pinned the rise on evolving diagnostic criteria. In 1943, Leo Kanner described autism as a severe condition, based on eleven children. By 1987, the DSM-III revised introduced a spectrum, loosening the criteria. Diagnoses spiked as parents began viewing behaviors, once quirks, as autistic traits. Eyal argued humans haven’t fundamentally changed; we’ve just renamed differences…
Unleashed! The Political News Hour with Mayor Deb – Alarmingly, with Governor Hochul as the head of state, the attack on the right to bear arms continues to barrel forward. My best guess is something resembling an Orwellian society, characterized by authoritarian control, manipulation of information, extensive surveillance, and the suppression of dissent…
The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – After a career-ending injury and a thyroid cancer diagnosis, Malachi Hopkins transformed adversity into opportunity. He founded Everybody Gets a Chance to equip youth with sports gear, coaching, and encouragement. Through faith, integrity, and leadership, he inspires the next generation to embrace purpose, resilience, passion, and community service and legacy.
Rogers for America with Lt. Steve Rogers – It’s time to say farewell to the United Nations. In this episode of Rogers for America, I argue that the UN has failed to uphold peace, empowered tyrants to attack the U.S., and mismanaged global crises. I endorse Senator Mike Lee’s proposal to withdraw American membership and call for relocating the UN completely elsewhere immediately.
COVID-19 vaccination is known to decrease sperm count and motility for approximately six months. The toxic Spike protein has been found in semen. About 25% of women have their menstrual cycles disturbed by the shots. Thorp et al have shown that vaccination during pregnancy results in fetal loss, maternal and fetal hemorrhage. The big question is, “Will birth rates decline?” Or will this be…
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – What happens when governments get involved in things they have not been delegated the power to regulate? Or when those elected officials think that gives them an all-access pass for political demonstration, like this video post. When you or I lose the plot, we may embarrass ourselves. However, when government actors lose their way, our rights are in jeopardy…
Looking 4 Healing Radio with Justin Feldman – Suicide rates have increased by 33% over the last 20 years. Forty percent of U.S. adults are now obese. Diabetes affects over 38 million Americans. One in five people can’t sleep at night—and teens are spending 4+ hours on screens? Nearly 30% are battling anxiety or depression. Justin unpacks why we turn to tech in the first place…
Nurses Out Loud – There has been a theme regarding President Trump’s appointments: He prioritizes great communicators; Casey Means is undoubtedly that, perhaps too good? Critics have noticed that she won’t publicly condemn the COVID-19 vaccines, she was not outspoken during the COVID-19 debacle ⎯ unlike Dr. Kelly Victory and Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, and her sudden origin as a MAHA leader is suspect…
Energetic Health Institute Radio with Dr. H – Powerful figures in all branches of our government have seemingly forgotten this simple fact as of late. Many words have been spoken and promises made but the actions required to follow through are slow or completely lacking. Do we continue to trust these hollow words, or do we demand that action be taken?
