We are hearing the term used all over TV, and in discussions about where the US economy is headed. Stagflation. So what is it? Is it here? How do we deal with it? On this episode, Joel Griffith joins us to build on our inflation conversation (the prior episode), and give us the real story on what's happening, and ways to get us back on the right track. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for mo...

John Popp (audio engineer extraordinaire) and Tim are in the office, even though it's that awkward time between Christmas and New Years. It's quiet, for sure. Because we are all feeling inflation in the pocketbook, and now the term "stagflation" is being thrown around, we decided it'd be a good idea to re run the conversation Tim had with Joel Griffith earlier this year explaining inflation. This...

After the 2020 election season, many came to the realization that our election system needs significant reforms. In fact, we have actually seen a lot of victories on this front in 2021. But as states pass laws, they are experiencing pushback from left-leaning groups, and the Biden DOJ. That's why The Heritage Foundation has developed an incredible tool called the Election Integrity Scorecard. It a...

We are seeing video of trains rolling through Russia, moving tanks, guns, and ammo to the eastern Ukraine.  It looks very similar to video footage we saw back in 2014, when Putin moved troops into Ukraine and annexed Crimea.  Journalists on the ground are reporting a lot of different things about Putin’s intentions and how this will play out.  Lots of voices, lots of confusion, and...

Our friend, Rush Limbaugh, used to read George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1789 every year on the air. It was always so inspiring. While it's great to eat food, watch football, spend time with family, and go around the table to say what we’re thankful for, he also believed Thanksgiving was an opportunity to thank God for the greatness of this Nation, and realize how blessed we are to...

We all remember seeing the horrific scenes in Afghanistan, after the withdraw of our troops. We saw it played out in real time, and several commentators said this will certainly lead to less freedom and more oppression as the Taliban retakes control. Now, Afghanistan has been moved off the front pages, and few people are talking about what's happening on the ground and in the region. However, Heri...

There is a lot happening with President Biden's vaccine mandate, and many questions surrounding. Is it viable?  Is it legal?  What are the consequences?

She catches us up to where things are in the courts, where they are likely going, and other issues to keep...

On this episode, we talk with GianCarlo Canaparo about his recent piece covering President Biden's changes to Title IX, which governs sexual assault and harassment investigations on college campuses.

It was recently reported that China tested a new hypersonic missile in August. This nuclear-capable rocket circled the globe and apparently took U.S. intelligence by surprise. So what does this mean for the U.S.? Do we have the ability to stop a missile traveling at 10,000 miles per hour traveling through space? As we continue to see our adversaries become more forward in their development, it's i...

Supply chain issues in conjunction with rising prices continue to clear shelves, idle factories, and take a toll on the wallets of working Americans. The Biden administration falsely insists these problems are transitory and blames the pandemic or the people trying to fix the problems. But this crisis is here to stay as long as the administration continues to push policies that make it worse. On t...

**The special episode of Heritage Explains was recorded LIVE on Facebook and YouTube** Are concerned parents DOMESTIC TERRORISTS? That's what Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a memo threatening to use the power of the DOJ and FBI to “investigate” parents who speak out at school board meetings with concerns about what their children are being taught. What should parents do in the face of th...

When the news broke that the owners of the Chicago Bears football team purchased a massive piece of property in a suburb 30 miles outside of Downtown Chicago, the narrative quickly developed that The Bears could be leaving their historic stadium for the suburbs.  Many news outlets say it’s because the owners see more opportunity to make profit, they'll have an easier time with things like spo...

The Biden administration's historic crisis at the southern border has reached a fever pitch in Del Rio, TX. The most frustrating part is that it was entirely avoidable. Now thousands are suffering from the administration’s foolish push for open borders, and the consequences of this predictable disaster will surely be lasting and painful for America. On this episode, we talk about how Del Rio is ju...

It's been 20 years since the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. It's hard to describe in a short blurb what that day has meant for Americans, and all that has changed because of it.
