Elephants in Rooms

Elephants in Rooms

Hi, I’m Ken LaCorte. I spent 20 years behind-the-scenes at Fox News and now host “Elephants in Rooms”. Here, we jump into topics that many people avoid and that the mainstream narrative often vilifies. Even when they’re true. If you’re looking for true insight into issues – without straw men or sensationalism – you’ve found the right place.

We hear different claims, from some saying Israel committing genocide by starvation while others say the narrative is a hoax. What's the truth?  I did my best to figure it out. --Ken

Are Chinese students a security threat to the U.S. and other countries? For the overwhelming majority, the answer is no. But the Chinese government has a strong hold on students studying abroad.

Conservatives freak out about George Soros, but is he the evil puppet master they think he is? Or just a wealthy, influential liberal?

As always, the truth is nuanced. I dig into the question, as well as tell you about my first-hand experience with the “Soros machine.”  Let me know how I did!
