Furthermore with Amanda Head

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head, and her "Just The News, No Noise" TV news co-host John Solomon pull back the curtain on a deeply unsettling reality: the growing footprint of the Chinese Communist Party inside the United States and the dangerous consequences of Washington D.C.'s failure to confront it.

From clandestine police outposts to illegal biolabs discovered in places like California and Las Vegas, Head and Solomon examine just how Chinese influence operations have moved beyond theory and into American communities. These revelations raise urgent questions about national security, public health, and whether the federal government is doing enough — or anything at all — to stop it.

The investigative duo are joined by FBI Director Kash Patel, who delivers firsthand insight into what authorities uncovered during a recent lab raid and weighs in on the broader collapse of counterintelligence efforts targeting Chinese espionage. Director Patel explains why dismantling these programs has left the U.S. exposed at a critical moment. In a separate conversation, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya discusses the unresolved risks surrounding gain-of-function research and its connection to the COVID-19 pandemic. The discussion presses on what safeguards, if any, now exist and whether dangerous research tied to China has truly been halted.

This episode continues with a deep dive into China’s expanding intelligence operations, featuring House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Rick Crawford, who outlines what Congress is uncovering and what must be done immediately to strengthen America’s defenses. Rounding out this episode, Tom Jones of the American Accountability Foundation reveals alarming evidence of Chinese Communist Party operatives embedded within U.S. universities, funneling taxpayer-funded research back to Beijing.

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head is joined by Nicole Huyer, The Heritage Foundation’s Senior Research Associate for Economic Policy. The two break down the radical policy agenda being floated by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and why it should concern Americans far beyond The Big Apple.

Huyer explains why Mamdani’s proposal for government-run grocery stores mirrors failed experiments in places like Erie, Kansas and Baldwin, Florida, leading not to affordability, but shortages, inefficiencies, and higher costs for taxpayers. She also unpacks the potential fallout of his proposed corporate tax hike to 11.5% and a new 2% penalty tax on high earners — policies that could accelerate the flight of businesses and capital out of the city.

On this episode of the podcast, Larry Sanger, the co-founder of Wikipedia talks with Amanda Head on a wide variety of topics. From unfiltered conversations about how one of the internet’s most powerful information platforms drifted from its original mission to a personal journey converting to Christianity from atheism.

Sanger explains how Wikipedia evolved from a neutral, geek-driven experiment into what he argues is a left-leaning institution, one that systematically marginalizes conservative and libertarian viewpoints through opaque editorial policies and ideological gatekeeping. He lays out specific reforms he believes could restore credibility, including radical transparency and allowing competing articles on contested topics.

The Wikipedia co-founder also shares his deeply personal journey from atheism to Christianity. He details years of serious theological study, philosophical inquiry, and what he sees as compelling evidence for biblical prophecy and truth claims. He reflects on why Christianity ultimately provided answers secular philosophy could not.

Finally, Sanger previews his upcoming blog and premium platform, where he plans to dive deeper into philosophical theology, political thought, and structured seminars for serious thinkers.

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head is joined by former Navy SEAL and FBI task force officer Jonathan Gilliam, Texas State Representative and Republican Congressional Candidate Steve Toth, and Alvin Lui of Courage Is a Habit to expose how the radical left weaponizes immigration, NGOs, and institutions to destabilize communities.

First, Gilliam warns that weak “pathway” proposals from Republicans risk handing Congress back to the left, while highlighting how federal law enforcement successfully restored order in Minneapolis, despite resistance from local leadership.

Texas State Rep. Steve Toth contrasts the chaos in blue states with Texas’ aggressive ICE cooperation, explaining why sanctuary cities protect criminals over citizens and why Trump’s immigration policies earned growing support from Hispanic communities. He also makes the case for codifying executive actions and revoking sanctuary city charters.

Finally, Alvin Lui pulls back the curtain on Minnesota’s deep NGO entanglements, revealing how the Walz administration has partnered with the violent ICE Watch Network, a group that actively obstructs federal law enforcement, while similar radical organizations seep into K-12 education and public policy.

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head talks to The Daily Signal’s Tyler O’Neil to unpack the shocking invasion of a Minneapolis church that left worshippers blocked from their children, pastors confronted mid-service, and federal charges on the table.

They break down the dangerous coordination between activists and journalists, Don Lemon’s controversial role at the scene, and why the misuse of “press” credentials doesn’t grant immunity from the law.

This episode also explores the DOJ’s delayed response, the application of the FACE Act, and what this incident reveals about religious liberty and equal justice in America.

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head is joined by filmmakers, New York Times bestselling authors, and playwrights Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney to discuss their stage production “October 7,” premiering at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, at 7:30PM.

The play documents the 2023 terror attack in Israel through verbatim testimony from survivors — stories of faith, resilience, and defiance in the face of unimaginable brutality. McAleer and McElhinney explain why telling these stories has come at a cost, from boycotts and venue refusals to open hostility in Ireland, where anti-Israel sentiment has made staging the production an uphill battle.

The pair breakdown why “October 7” matters now, how firsthand accounts cut through propaganda, and why bringing these voices to audiences, especially on college campuses, is essential to countering false narratives and historical erasure.

He praised Spencer Pratt's strategic nature as he runs for Los Angeles Mayor, but rightfully questioned his political stance. Freeman also addressed the impact of illegal immigration on resources, emphasizing the strain on emergency services and the need for better management. He stressed the importance of Californians staying engaged in politics despite the lopsided state.

On this episode of the podcast, ER physician and healthcare entrepreneur Dr. Ron Elfenbein joins the show to tell a story few Americans have heard from the inside.

During the height of COVID-19, Dr. Elfenbein helped source PPE, designed intubation boxes, and worked to distribute monoclonal antibody treatments when hospitals were overwhelmed and options were limited. But after publicly criticizing the Biden Administration’s decision to halt monoclonal antibodies and questioning vaccine mandates, Dr. Elfenbein found himself under federal indictment for healthcare fraud — charges stemming from billing disputes he says were selectively and politically pursued.

After a grueling trial, a District Court acquitted him due to insufficient evidence to support the jury's verdict. But despite that acquittal, the weaponized Department of Justice has appealed the case, forcing Dr. Elfenbein back into court this August.

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head is joined by Josh Hammer, Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, Host of The Josh Hammer Show, and Author of “Israel and Civilization,” for a timely conversation on what he calls the rise of “moral blackmail” in America. Drawing from his recent article for Front Page Magazine, Hammer explains how the radical Left increasingly uses intimidation, emotional pressure, and the threat of unrest to force political and cultural compliance rather than winning debates through facts or persuasion.

The discussion examines key flashpoints including the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation, the Derek Chauvin trial, post-Dobbs protests, and ongoing unrest in Minneapolis, arguing that mob pressure has been used to undermine due process and the rule of law. Hammer also warns that media disinformation and selective enforcement have fueled public confusion and normalized intimidation tactics.

Together, the duo explores what this trend means for free speech, institutional integrity, and the future of the American republic, and whether the country is finally beginning to push back.
