Uncovering Evil: The Organ Harvesting Industry America Ignores

They can schedule a heart transplant in days. In America, you wait years. That impossible math has one explanation: someone is being killed to fill the order. Tonight, investigative journalist Jan Jekielek, senior editor at The Epoch Times and author of Killed to Order: China's Organ Harvesting Industry and the True Nature of America's Biggest Adversary exposes the Chinese Communist Party's state-sanctioned, for-profit organ harvesting industry, estimated at $8.9 billion a year. From the whistleblower whose surgeon husband harvested corneas from 2,000 living prisoners, to the survivor who woke up in a Chinese prison with a 14-inch scar and parts of his liver and lung missing, to the hot-mic moment between Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin... the evidence is no longer deniable. And America is more entangled in this than most people know.Thank you to our sponsors that made this episode possible:*Don’t wait!

Why The Selfish Media Ruined US Hockey's Greatest Moment

Two historic Olympic gold medals. One media firestorm. 🇺🇸🏒 How did Team USA’s biggest hockey victory in decades turn into a political controversy? The U.S. men’s and women’s hockey teams both defeated Canada for Olympic gold, delivering one of the greatest moments in modern American hockey history. The men captured their first Olympic gold since the 1980 Miracle on Ice, while the women added another legendary chapter to the sport’s fiercest rivalry.But within hours, headlines shifted away from the wins and toward politics — including White House invitations, the State of the Union, and reactions to a congratulatory phone call from President Trump. In this episode of The Real Story, Dr. Phil examines how media narratives and political polarization can quickly overshadow historic athletic achievement. When did winning Olympic gold start coming with a political litmus test? #usahockey #olympichockey #teamusa #hockey #sportsandpolitics #drphil #therealstoryThank you to our sponsor: Preserve Gold - text "ASK PHIL" to 50505 and go to https://DrPhilGold.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
