Biden's Bureaucratic Plan for American Families
May 26, 2021 13:48 - 57 minutes - 53 MBStrong families and hard work are the foundation of strong society, and the basis for healthy child development, meaningful relationships, and economic well-being. Unfortunately, President Biden’s American Families Plan expands government infrastructure without addressing the real problems families face. Under this plan, politicians in Washington, D.C., would take more of Americans’ income to fund benefits that politicians—not families—create, approve, and control. Furthermore, the new polic...
Fighting Censorship from Big Tech: Section 230 and Beyond
May 26, 2021 13:30 - 43 minutes - 40 MBSocial media sites shape the way many people view reality, but the corporations behind them are increasingly working to silence dissenting points of view. Big Tech companies are moderating, labeling, and removing conservative content and accounts with growing abandon, and the problem goes beyond Facebook and Twitter. Members of Congress have held numerous Big Tech hearings, but have yet to pass legislation to reform the main law Big Tech abuses as it censors speech, Section 230 of Communicati...
Senator Jim Inhofe on the Value of the Electoral College
May 20, 2021 13:23 - 1 hour - 67.2 MBOur system for electing the President—the Electoral College—was carefully crafted by the Framers and has worked successfully for over 200 years, protecting and nurturing our Republic. Unfortunately, it is currently under assault from two fronts: a constitutionally questionable National Popular Vote Movement, and now Congressional Democrats pushing a constitutional amendment. Every American should be concerned that the Electoral College is under siege by these efforts, which would radicalize t...
Ending Interpol Abuse: How the Democratic World Can Fight Transnational Repression
May 18, 2021 19:38 - 50 minutes - 46.5 MBFrom assassinations to spyware to the intimidation of family members, autocracies use the means of transnational repression to silence exiles and opponents around the world. Unfortunately, one tool used by abusive regimes to harass citizens abroad is Interpol itself. Interpol, the international organization of police agencies, plays an important role in promoting cooperation against genuine crime. However, it has also been manipulated by its autocratic members into an instrument of transnat...
It’s Time to Repeal the Iraq War Authorizations
May 18, 2021 16:28 - 1 hour - 58.1 MBCongress passed Authorizations for the Use of Military Force in Iraq in both 1991 and 2002, and both AUMFs remain in force. However, the object and purpose of those war powers has long been accomplished. Repealing these war authorizations is key matter of congressional “hygiene” and gets the Congress back in the business of exercising its responsibilities under Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 of the Constitution. Rolling back these vestigial war powers also would not affect the 2001 AUMF pa...
Winning Freedom: The American Revolution
May 14, 2021 13:23 - 50 minutes - 45.8 MBFirst Principles Townhall: Parents Bringing Civics to the Public Square America is experiencing a cultural crisis, and parents across the country have asked us how to pass the American legacy to the next generation in a culture increasingly hostile to American identity. The Heritage Foundation’s First Principles Townhall will speak into this moment, offering participants the educational tools to give their children an honest understanding of our history: to help them appreciate America’s po...
Court-Packing: A Bad Idea That’s Even Worse This Time
May 13, 2021 13:47 - 34 minutes - 31.1 MBPushed by grassroots activists, President Joe Biden has created a Supreme Court commission that will examine “reform” ideas such as Court-packing. In the meantime, members of Congress have introduced legislation to increase the Court from nine to thirteen. This is the first attempt to change the basic structure of the Court since President Franklin Roosevelt failed to do it in 1937. The purpose of court-packing and the damage it would do to the judiciary, remain the same. Unlike the 1930s, h...
Space Force: What’s Next?
May 11, 2021 13:46 - 45 minutes - 41.6 MBThe United States Space Force (USSF) was founded in 2019 as the world’s first standalone military branch dedicated to the domain of space. This April, the Heritage Foundation released an in-depth study titled “Rebuilding America’s Military: The United States Space Force,” highlighting the service’s current state, capabilities, and its growing partnership with civil and commercial space organizations. Among the advances, NASA-funded innovations in small satellite propulsion and navigation h...
Protecting Vital Defense Supply Chains: Perspectives from Congress and Industry
May 07, 2021 22:04 - 46 minutes - 42.7 MBDefense supply chains—the complex networks of firms which design, build, and maintain defense items—are critical to U.S. national security. Sadly, these supply chains are under threat. Some defense programs depend on Chinese suppliers for key items, while others rely on small American suppliers struggling to stay in business. There is a bipartisan consensus that these threats must be confronted, but no conclusion on how to do it. On May 7, hear about this critical issue from three different...
The War Against Cancel Culture: What the United States Can Learn from Great Britain
April 29, 2021 14:34 - 56 minutes - 51.7 MBIn his groundbreaking work, Areopagitica (1644), English author John Milton offered the first comprehensive plea for freedom of speech in the West. The opponents of free speech, he wrote, would cause “the discouragement of all learning, and the stop of truth.” The enemies of free speech are back. As in the United States, Leftist groups in Great Britain have attempted to shut down speech on the nation’s university campuses, tear down statues of historical figures, and censor debate in the pub...
U.S. Intelligence: How Does it Adapt to a Rapidly Changing National Security Landscape
April 23, 2021 20:04 - 49 minutes - 45.2 MBThe national security threats the United States and its allies are facing around the globe are growing in number and complexity. The international order that has served as the framework for American security at home and abroad for over 70 years is being actively undermined by China, Russia and their allies. Is U.S. intelligence properly postured to answer the vexing national security questions that our national and military decision makers need answered? If there are obstacles to shaping a ...
Conservatives Must Lead in Solving Americans’ Health Care Problems
April 20, 2021 13:40 - 47 minutes - 43.7 MBThe Biden Administration wants to dramatically overhaul America’s health care, putting the government even more in charge of personal decisions. Conservatives must do more than oppose the President’s leftist agenda—they must advance policies that will actually lower health care costs and improve coverage choices. The good news is that there is a growing coalition offering bold reforms that have resulted in better care for all. Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), head of the Republican Study Committee (R...
New Tools for New Threats: John Ratcliffe on Strengthening U.S. Intelligence Capabilities
April 19, 2021 20:04 - 58 minutes - 53.5 MBFor the first time since the end of the Cold War, rising authoritarian powers are unapologetically attempting to undermine the international order and challenge the American way of life. To confront this threat, the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) must undergo the biggest transformation since the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. We face geopolitical upheaval around the globe, and “hybrid warfare” enabled by widespread disinformation campaigns are on the rise. Furthermore, America’s enemies ...
U.S.-Taiwan Partnership in the Pacific Islands
April 16, 2021 17:40 - 54 minutes - 49.6 MBThe Pacific Islands are an important area of cooperation for the United States and Taiwan, as both have major interests at stake in the region. For the U.S., the Pacific Islands are critical to the Indo-Pacific strategy and its status as a resident power in the Western Pacific. Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa are all part of the United States. Furthermore, the U.S. has maintained close political, economic and especially security relationships with ...

April 16, 2021 14:10 - 51 minutes - 46.7 MBAmerican small businesses are the backbone of the American economy.

Join us for a fireside chat with Kevin Hassett, Trump’s Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, to hear the facts about ...

Old Bullies, New Toys: Confronting Iran and North Korea
April 15, 2021 15:02 - 1 hour - 78.6 MBThe radicalism of the Iranian regime has destabilized the Middle East since 1979. Three generations of the Kim dynasty have taunted every president since Truman. However, neither have presented as dangerous a threat to the United States and its allies as they do today. As North Korea continues to test and improve weapons, the Iranians may be rebooting their nuclear program. Hear about the state of these threats, and what we can do to confront them. Back to Reagan’s Future: The Importance of...
Resurrecting the First Fleet for Great Power Competition
April 15, 2021 14:16 - 50 minutes - 46.1 MBAs the Chinese Navy has rapidly grown, so too has its Coast Guard and Maritime Militia. This places added stress on the U.S. Navy to uphold a rules-based order, while our regional partners struggle to secure their own waters. Last November, the Secretary of the Navy sought to address this by resurrecting the defunct First Fleet and basing it at the crossroads of the Indo-Pacific. One would be forgiven in assuming the idea passed with the outgoing administration, but the facts on the ocean h...
Safeguarding our Elections: A Conversation with Sen. Rand Paul
April 15, 2021 14:15 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MBFree, fair, and secure elections are the bedrock of a democracy. In the wake of the 2020 election, it has never been more apparent that significant work needs to be done to ensure Americans, regardless of party affiliation, have trust and confidence in our electoral process. We witnessed significant voting irregularities, last-minute changes, and numerous instances of officials setting aside state election law, amongst a host of other troubling patterns. While state legislatures are beginning...

April 12, 2021 20:33 - 46 minutes - 42.3 MBDescribed as the ‘largest and most sophisticated attack ever,’ the hacking of SolarWinds Inc. shocked the cybersecurity world and led to a massive compromise of networks owned by the U.S. government and Fortune 500 companies. After breaching SolarWinds, a top tier technology company, the hackers used their access to infiltrate its many clients. The list of exposed organizations included the Department of Defense, Department of the Treasury, Department of Justice, and many others. The most l...
Redlining and Education: How 20th Century Practices Impact 21st Century Kids
April 09, 2021 16:19 - 50 minutes - 46.1 MBIn the early 20th century, the federal government engaged in housing “redlining”—a practice that conditioned access to federally backed home loans on the perceived economic health of a neighborhood and used demographic factors such as race in those decisions. Today, underperforming public schools are too often located in the areas “redlined” by government agencies in the 20th century. Yet local government policies largely maintain attendance zone boundaries and residential assignment, relega...
The Need to Maintain U.S. Nuclear Deterrence: The Growing Threat from China and Russia
April 08, 2021 14:48 - 1 hour - 81.3 MBWhen the Cold War ended, many thought that democracy had triumphed over authoritarianism. However, today’s Russia and China are both attempting to undermine U.S. values and leadership and install a new world order based on autocratic values. Nuclear weapons will serve as a central feature in this struggle, presenting the urgent need to ensure America’s own nuclear deterrence remains safe, secure, and reliable. Hear about this threat and what America must do to preserve peace. Back to Reagan...
Democratic Socialism: A Warning from Venezuela
April 07, 2021 19:09 - 46 minutes - 42.7 MBWith the idea of "Democratic Socialism" becoming increasingly popular, many people question if young Americans will choose government control or individual freedom. Unfortunately, Socialism and its command-and-control economics have led many countries into a cycle of poverty and repression. Jorge Andrés Galicia Rodríguez and Andrés Guilarte are two university students who lived in Venezuela under a democratically elected socialist regime, massive blackouts, and political persecution. The in...
Confronting Russian Interference in U.S.-Czech Missile Defense Cooperation
March 30, 2021 19:03 - 48 minutes - 44.3 MBThe Czech Republic is often employed as a testing ground for Russian influence operations, many of which are later implemented against other NATO countries if successful. Hence, if one wants to understand Russia’s methods and operations, the Czech security environment provides an invaluable source of information. U.S.-Czech missile defense cooperation provides a great example of one such disinformation campaign. In that case the Czech Republic was targeted by Russian active measures, along ...
Battling the Biden Border Crisis
March 26, 2021 13:54 - 45 minutes - 41.6 MBThe border security built by the Trump Administration has been swiftly torn down by the Biden Administration. From stopping border wall construction to ending the Remain in Mexico Program, tearing up the Asylum Cooperative Agreements with Central American countries, and promising amnesty and family unification in the U.S., the Biden Administration has opened our southern border. At the same time, President Biden has restricted the vast majority of ICE’s authority to remove deportable aliens....
The Crown Under Fire: Why the Left’s Campaign to Cancel the Monarchy and Undermine a Cornerstone of Western Democracy Will Fail
March 25, 2021 19:51 - 55 minutes - 51.2 MBIn order to launch an assault on the British monarchy, the American radical Left has seized upon the claims from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, that the Royal Family created a hostile, racist environment for the couple. Britain’s constitutional monarchy—among the most powerful conservative institutions on the world stage—represents everything the radical Left despises: tradition, authority, hierarchy, patriotism, and the political and religious ideals of Western Civilizat...
Senator Deb Fischer on the Future of Nuclear Modernization
March 24, 2021 19:53 - 39 minutes - 35.9 MBMost of America’s nuclear forces are decades old and urgently need to be replaced. President Obama embarked on a major effort to modernize the nation’s nuclear enterprise, which made significant progress under the Trump administration. Nevertheless, serious challenges remain. Defense budgets are expected to tighten under the Biden administration, which is also facing renewed calls from outside groups to drastically reduce our nuclear forces or change our overall deterrence posture. Meanwhile...
The “Minneapolis Effect”: Hostility Toward Law Enforcement, Police Officer Passivity, and the Rise of Violent Crime
March 22, 2021 18:35 - 1 hour - 56 MBLast summer’s civil unrest sought to mainstream the idea that the criminal justice system is “systemically racist” and that the police ought to be defunded. While activists believe that their sloganeering is pushing society in a better direction, there is a growing body of evidence suggesting that their efforts have serious unintended consequences. An inordinate level of hostility towards police officers discourages proactive policing which, in turn, allows violent crimes to victimize the inn...
Understanding the Chinese Ideological Threat
March 22, 2021 18:32 - 46 minutes - 42.3 MBAs China policy takes center stage, there is growing debate over the what the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) actually believes. Is the CCP truly Communist, or has it become something else? In the modern world, pinpointing the nature of CCP ideology is far from simple. Understanding the CCP’s ideology can improve policymaking decisions and efforts to counter threats associated with China’s rise. What role does this ideology play in Chinese foreign policy today, and what is its global influenc...
Conservatism and America’s Future
March 22, 2021 17:18 - 52 minutes - 48.1 MBThere is much anger and despair over the state of our politics and culture. The conservative movement historically has played a critical role in renewing the nation’s commitments to its Founding principles. What is required to do so again? What are the movement's strengths and opportunities to become a powerful force for limited constitutional government and cultural renewal? Join us for the Heritage Foundation’s distinguished Kirk Lecture delivered by George H. Nash, author of The Conservati...
Lessons from the West Capella Incident: Successful Naval Presence in the South China Sea
March 15, 2021 17:57 - 43 minutes - 39.7 MBLast year, a remarkable months-long display of U.S. maritime power occurred in the South China Sea. Given President Biden’s recent announcement of a special task force to formulate a new military approach to China, it is important to discuss what happened and why a sustained naval presence in the South China Sea bolsters the rules-based international order. Late last April, the USS Gabrielle Giffords was patrolling in the vicinity of the Panamanian-flagged vessel West Capella, which was bei...
A First Look at Biden’s Energy and Climate Policies
March 15, 2021 17:55 - 51 minutes - 46.9 MBPresident Biden hit the ground running with a slew of executive actions and commitments on energy and climate change. His decisions represent a path to fundamentally remake America’s energy and transportation sector, from banning new oil and gas lease sales on federal lands to re-entering the Paris climate agreement and cancelling the Keystone XL pipeline. The new administration has visions of fully decarbonizing the power sector by 2035 and making a massive, government-led push to move Ame...

February 25, 2021 14:53 - 59 minutes - 27.2 MBPeople driving under the influence of drugs has been a major problem in America for decades, with alcohol being the most common drug used. The recent opioid-abuse epidemic, along with the decision by a large number of states to legalize cannabis for medical or recreational use, has made the problem of driving under the influence of drugs even more urgent. To save lives, the issue must be understood and addressed. Join us for a discussion with four former White House “Drug Czars” on the impor...
The Promise to America’s Children: Protecting Kids from Extreme Gender Ideology and Laws
February 24, 2021 20:04 - 58 minutes - 26.6 MBChildren are America’s most precious resource, but President Biden’s recent executive order politicizes K-12 education and healthcare with destructive gender ideology. This ideology endangers children’s minds, bodies, and relationships with their parents—and the Equality Act would cement it into law. Parents and lawmakers across the country are joining together to make a promise to America’s children to always put their health, safety, and privacy before the ideological or partisan concerns...

University Indoctrination: How it Started and How to Stop It
February 12, 2021 18:57 - 1 hour - 28.2 MBAmerican parents have unwittingly become the primary recruiters and funders of campus radicalization. Higher education today, as Professor John Ellis describes in his book The Breakdown of Higher Education, does not teach college and university students how to think, but rather what to think. If you are increasingly frustrated over the political indoctrination at over-priced colleges and universities and believe Western Civilization's classics are being canceled in favor of leftist grievanc...
The Faces of a $15 Minimum Wage
February 10, 2021 15:19 - 45 minutes - 20.8 MBIn 2021, many businesses are aiming to rebuild after the economic devastation of COVID-19 and the associated closures and restrictions. However, many of the businesses that were hardest hit by the pandemic now face a new threat that could push them out of business for good. President Biden and other liberal lawmakers in Congress want to impose a $15 national minimum wage as part of their so-called “American Rescue Plan.” Higher wages are a great thing when they come from workers producing m...

February 04, 2021 17:07 - 30 minutes - 24.5 MBSenator Mike Lee joins Heritage’s Tommy Binion for a conversation on the Senate filibuster, its history, and what might happen if it is abolished. The Senate has been described as the world’s greatest deliberative body, and unlike the House, was designed for extensive deliberation on important legislation. The filibuster has long been seen as a mechanism to incentivize the two parties to work together on polarizing issues. However, new threats to change Senate rules on the filibuster, or th...

Human Trafficking: Policy Prescriptions to Hold Criminals Accountable and Help Their Victims
January 29, 2021 17:49 - 58 minutes - 26.7 MBHuman trafficking is a major problem facing our nation today.

Building Resilience: The Defense Industrial Base in an Era of Great-Power Competition
January 28, 2021 17:35 - 45 minutes - 21 MBHow ready is the United States for war? The answer to this question requires more than just ship counts or quantities of munitions. True readiness cannot be measured without an honest assessment of America’s defense industrial base. Over the last 30 years, the makeup of the defense industrial base has changed dramatically. There are far fewer prime defense contractors, more cases of single-source suppliers for key components, and fewer people with the necessary skills to design and produce d...
Another Civil War? The Struggle Over the Meaning of America
January 27, 2021 03:15 - 59 minutes - 27.1 MBAmerica’s constitutional order is under great stress.

Join our experts for a discussion about these developments and what they mean for America. Renowned Civil War historian Dr. Allen Guelzo will explore the parallels between our current political-cultural debates and those on the eve of the Civil War. Dr. Samuel Gregg w...
Why America Needs the Long Range Standoff Weapon
January 15, 2021 19:39 - 48 minutes - 22.3 MBAmerica has embarked on a long-overdue effort to modernize its nuclear deterrent, most of which is decades old and becoming obsolete. A critical part of this effort is the Air Force’s development of the Long Range Standoff weapon (LRSO), a new generation of the current nuclear-armed air-launched cruise missile (ALCM), which is quickly aging out. As argued in a newly-released Heritage Foundation report, the LRSO will be critical to maintaining the air leg of the nuclear triad, enabling bom...
One Year Later: Lessons from the Early COVID-19 Response
January 15, 2021 19:37 - 36 minutes - 16.6 MBSecretary Azar reflects on the Trump Administration’s early actions on COVID-19 and what lessons can be drawn from the response, including travel restrictions that slowed the spread, pressure for transparency from China, bringing Americans home safely from abroad, rapidly formed partnerships with the private sector, and educating the American people with the best science available at the time. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
State-Sponsored Human Trafficking and How to Fight It
January 15, 2021 19:34 - 54 minutes - 25.1 MBHuman trafficking in all forms is abhorrent, but when governments enslave and sell their own people, it takes on an even more pernicious edge. 2020 marked the first year that the State Department designated state sponsors of human trafficking, with ten nations earning the dubious distinction. These designations were an important step in raising awareness about how regimes exploit their own citizens for profit and serve as a vital mechanism to hold them accountable. Join us to commemorate Nat...
The New Intolerance: Critical Race Theory and Its Grip on America
January 12, 2021 17:21 - 59 minutes - 27 MBCritical Race Theory (CRT) and public policies based on this worldview will not alleviate racial inequality in the real world. In fact, this dogma undermines human and social factors—such as family, entry-level work, and merit-based education—the wellspring of upward mobility. Yet, the rigid persistence with which believers apply this theory has made CRT a constant, daily presence in the lives of hundreds of millions of people. CRT underpins Identity Politics, an ongoing effort to reimagine...

Criticism of Israel or Jew-Hatred? Recognizing Modern Anti-Semitism
December 19, 2020 22:33 - 53 minutes - 24.4 MBModern Anti-Semitism often manifests itself as hostility against Israel—particularly on college campuses, at the United Nations, and even in U.S. Congress. Despite claiming to lack hostility toward the global Jewish people, today’s “anti-Zionists” single out the world’s only Jewish state for specific and demonizing criticism. Casting Israel as a villain on the world stage, this rhetoric makes ample use of historic anti-Semitic tropes such as greed, global conspiracy, and media puppetmastery....
