Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, a well-regarded ENT specialist, became one of the most polarizing figures in American medicine after refusing to fall in line during COVID.

Subscribe to the YouTube channel: Jillian and Eric Bolling go straight for the jugular on the fallout from the Tucker Carlson–Nick Fuentes interview.

Kelsi Sheren survived war — but what she experienced after coming home was far darker. In this episode, Kelsi exposes the horrifying reality of Canada’s MAiD program: a system offering euthanasia not just to veterans, but to the disabled, the mentally ill, those battling depression, and — in proposed expansions — even minors. Instead of offering treatment, care, or hope, the government is quietly offering death. She explains how a program that was “only for the terminally ill” rapidly expanded i...
