The Josh Philipp Show

American farmers are facing a big problem. The seeds they use to grow all that food on end up on our dinner plates, well, they’re expensive. And they’re getting more expensive. And farmers are now left with no real choice about where to get their seeds. Now, that may sound counterintuitive. After all, don’t seeds come from the crops that farmers grow? You’d think they have better access to seeds t...

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is running secret police stations right here in the United States. In fact, the head of one of these organizations in New York City was recently found guilty. These police stations are front organizations where people work together with the communist regime to spy on dissidents, keep tabs on overseas Chinese, and help the CCP export its laws onto foreign soil. But...

There’s been a lot of backlash on AI data centers. But why is that? Are data centers really so bad? Why should anyone care? Well, it turns out that while data centers make AI possible, they also come with some major costs to quality of life, the environment, and what the average American is being forced to pay. So what’s the reality with data centers? And how much is it costing you?

By this point, most people have probably heard of Antifa. They often show up at conservative events as your “counterprotesters.” They often turn the events violent. And they also tend to be the agitators in popular movements like Black Lives Matter. Many talking heads on the left say the group isn’t really a group. They say it’s an idea. Not really organized. But on the other side of the aisle, ma...

Are antidepressants causing violent behavior? Suicidal tendencies? Sexual dysfunction? Emotional numbness? Well, if you’ve been watching online reels recently, you may have heard this. Testimonies. People sharing their experiences. Industry manipulation. And this relates to a new campaign from the Department of Health and Human Services, where Secretary RFK Jr. is saying some antidepressants—inclu...

The amount of fraud being found in the United States is staggering. And this isn’t just a problem of crime. It’s a problem so severe that it may be achieving – whether intentionally or not – a strategy to destabilize the country. To intentionally drain its resources. And to eventually force changes that Americans would otherwise never accept. I’m of course talking about the Cloward-Piven strategy....

Do you remember when you’d walk into school in the morning and everyone had watched the same new episode of The Simpsons? When the latest movie was the only thing people talked about at work? When MTV played the same bands. When Dave Chappelle dropped a skit, and the entire country was quoting it the next morning? We played the same games. We knew the same sports. We laughed at the same jokes. We...

The Chinese Communist Party, or CCP, is in a panic. Top generals of the regime are being purged under the banner of anti-corruption. Weapons systems that were paraded around the world as “U.S. killers” have failed embarrassingly in actual combat. The twin pillars of China’s economy—real estate and manufacturing—are in free fall. New laws are being rushed through to stop Western companies from leav...

Imagine a world where political prisons no longer exist. Abusive regimes no longer need frozen gulags. Re-education through labor is a far-off memory. But tyranny isn’t gone. It’s pervasive. Everywhere. Mass surveillance keeps tabs, from roadside cameras, to online trackers, to the phone in your pocket. You hesitate saying what you think, even if it’s true. You weigh your actions based on social t...

Therapy has gone from being a stigma to becoming a social norm. COVID-19 is partly the cause of this. All that paranoia and isolation. That social experiment where we all journeyed into the cave. Around 13 percent of adults have sought therapy. And in some ways it’s never been better. We have tele-health from the comfort of our homes. Online therapy groups. And just about every flavor of self-help...

Kids who never learned to read are graduating from high school. Illiterate students are heading off to college. And, while facing criticisms of failing American kids, the Department of Education is being folded. Authority on public schools is shifting back to the states. All of this is stirring a new debate. Where did public schools go wrong? How can they be fixed? But an even bigger issue hangs o...

By now, you’ve probably seen the memes saying chemicals in our water, and all around us, are turning men into women. While a lot of these are exaggerations, at the same time, there’s a lot of truth in the narrative. Testosterone levels are falling. Toxins in our environment are messing with people’s hormones—not just in men, but in women also. And it’s also true that common chemicals, including th...

For decades, the U.S. government outsourced huge chunks of its foreign policy and even domestic influence to NGOs—nongovernmental organizations that sounded independent but often ran on your tax dollars with almost no accountability. Then, in 2025, the whole system was exposed.

Some of the largest video games on the market, from Fortnite to League of Legends, have fallen under the ownership of a Chinese company. Tencent now owns not only some of the biggest games, but also many of the top studios. And the company could soon be forced to divest, in a move on par with the TikTok deal. While it may seem harmless at first – video games are just for fun– it’s actually pretty...

Have you noticed how much more you’re now paying for that burger or steak? The cost of meat in the United States is soaring. Demand for meat is up, but for some reason, cattle herds are shrinking, ranchers are going out of business, and the industry is facing some serious trouble. Behind it all may be something bigger. A cartel is being accused of effectively causing these problems artificially –...

Why do medications cost so much in the United States? You’ll get a radically different answer to this, depending on who you talk to. Some say it’s the lack of socialized medicine. Others say it’s the fault of greedy CEOs. But others say it’s caused by something else entirely—that global policies have worked to squeeze the prices so that people in some countries end up shouldering the costs for oth...

There’s been a fundamental shift in what it means to buy something, and this change happened so slowly that you might not have even noticed.

Imagine a world where all information is controlled. History has been rewritten in favor of an all-controlling party. Language has been remade to eliminate subversive concepts. Your every action is monitored, and a looming threat hangs over you as a reminder of what happens if you step out of line. This is part of the image that George Orwell painted in his book, “1984.” But all of these factors a...

You’ve probably heard of the affordability crisis. Everything is too expensive. Wages aren’t going up. The kids are accepting a fate where they’ll never own a home. And the kids are not OK. At least not with that. Basically, it’s hard to get by. Then things get really weird. We’re being told mixed messages on why this is happening. The old narrative was that the problem was single-family homes. Th...

How do we define private property? Normally it’s what we work to build or own. Our own labor and effort are what establish ownership. We strive. We write songs. We create movies. We innovate. We invent. And we build. But what happens when all that effort just goes away? Artists don’t need to draw anymore. Poets don’t need to reflect. Musicians don’t need to play. Everything is created in an instan...

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has a plan to control America’s food supply, and with this, Congress has raised concerns over the weaponization of food. At the center of this debate has been China buying up American farmland. In this investigative feature, Joshua Philipp, Senior Investigative Reporter at The Epoch Times, discuss with experts on the deeper plans of the CCP, and the risks to the U...
