    Episode 340: Tyrannosaurs, Bridges, Ballot Measures, and the Story of American Gerrymandering

    As the nation awaits the final results in a few dozen House races, the subject of gerrymandering has once again reared its head. This little understood – and often misunderstood – process of drawing congressional maps has been a subject of discussion in state legislatures and activist enclaves since the practice began in the early 1800s. Both right and left routinely accuse each other of manipulating the process even while both sides openly try to make it work in their interest. Now, as the Supreme Court prepares to hear a dispute in Louisiana over the question of racial gerrymandering and a citizen-led gerrymandering proposal fails in Ohio, the question of gerrymandering is once again in the news. Here to shed light on this most confusing American political process – or tactic, depending on your perspective -- are my colleagues Mike Watson and Ken Braun.

    Episode 339: Election Innovations: Legal or Loopholes?

    As political parties, candidates, and the increasingly relevant party-aligned but technically independent activist groups that have come to dominate the post-McCain-Feingold world work to draw Americans out to the polls, new innovations have raised the hackles of observers and left citizens asking, “Can they actually do that?” Joining us to make sense of some of the more prominent innovations is Brad Smith, former Chair of the Federal Election Commission, professor of law at Ohio’s Capital University, and chairman of the Institute for Free Speech.

    Episode 338: Election Integrity Wins

    Will the 2024 election be administered more effectively and more fairly than the 2020 election? There’s reason to believe in many states that it might be, and advocates have made election integrity—making it easy for citizens to vote and hard for politicians to cheat—a key focus of their efforts. Joining us to discuss efforts to protect election integrity in the upcoming and in future elections is Fred Lucas, a reporter for the Daily Signal.

    Episode 337: Marching Toward Violence: The Domestic Anti-Israel Protest Movement

    This week marked the first anniversary of the October 7th, 2023 attacks against Israel by Iranian-backed terrorist groups, most prominently Hamas. Unfortunately, in addition to solemn remembrance, the anniversary was marked by more demonstrations by the activists some might call Hamas-glampers who have come to support irredentist Palestinian nationalism. Our colleague Ryan Mauro, an expert on political extremism, has released a report detailing the pro-terrorist connections and allegiances of over 150 of the groups upholding these demonstrations, and he joins us today to discuss his findings.  Link:  Marching Toward Violence: The Domestic Anti-Israeli Protest Movement Follow us on our socials:  Twitter: @capitalresearch Instagram: @capitalresearchcenter Facebook: www.facebook.com/capitalresearchcenter YouTube: @capitalresearchcenter

    Episode 336: Do You Need To Stock Up On Toilet Paper? (Or Everything You Need To Know About The Dockworker Strike)

    As the country moves through a contentious election season, where the state of the economy and worries over inflation have been a major talking point, a new economic hazard has appeared on the horizon threatening to hammer the American consumer just as Hurricane Helene threatened – and then did – hammer the Southeast: the International Longshoreman Association, a union of dockworkers who manage the transport, loading, unloading, and all other things associated with shipping containers at the nation’s ports, threatened – and then did – go on strike over wages and automation of their jobs. Here to explain what’s happening, what it could mean for the American consumer right before a busy holiday shopping season, and if any deal or government action may be forthcoming are my colleague and usual podcast host Mike Watson, who also happens to be our labor expert, and Sean Higgins, a research fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute here in Washington, DC specializing in labor and employment issues.  Links:  Sean Higgins https://cei.org/blog/white-house-has-serval-option-in-dockworkers-strike-none-of-them-good/ The real issue in the port strike: Automation PRO Act Just Gives Unions More Power Follow us on our socials:  Twitter: @capitalresearch Instagram: @capitalresearchcenter Facebook: www.facebook.com/capitalresearchcenter YouTube: @capitalresearchcenter

    Episode 335: Castro's Useful Idiots

    Anybody who has scoffed at the proliferation of t-shirts bearing the image of Che Guevara, the famous associate of Fidel Castro who among other things oversaw purges of political opponents following Castro’s seizure of power, on college campuses knows that sectors of “elite” American society have an unhealthy appreciation for the repressive Communist dictatorship that has ruled Cuba since 1959. But for the subjects of today’s program, the Venceremos Brigades, backed by infrastructure support from the radical-left wing of Big Philanthropy, their unhealthy appreciation becomes outright support, as members travel to the Communist-ruled island to offer labor in exchange for ideological formation. Joining me to discuss the Venceremos Brigades’ history, their influence, and what they tell us about America’s radical left are my colleagues Robert Stilson and Ken Braun.

    Episode 334: CHNV: Biden's Immigrant Visa Bypass

    Immigration policy is an absolute mess—such a mess, that it can be hard for non-specialists to know even what is going on. And that’s where I for one sit regarding the so-called “CHNV parole” program, a Biden administration initiative to admit half a million or so people from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, and Nicaragua on so-called “parole authority” to temporary informal legal status in the United States. Is this legal? Are there appropriate security protections? Which groups support this program? What, in fact, is going on? We invite Simon Hankinson, a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation’s border security and immigration center, to help get to the bottom of these questions.

    Episode 333 - Hoovering Up Henry Money: How To Get a Ford Foundation Grant

    We’ve covered “megaphone philanthropy”—the emphasis some left-wing activist groups and their multi-million or even billion-dollar funders place on street-protest imagery, often featuring people yelling through bullhorns—and the Ford Foundation, one of the Left’s multiple billion-dollar funders. Our colleague Ken Braun joins us today to link them, as he has just concluded a deep investigation of the Ford Foundation’s grantmaking.  Links: Hoovering Up Henry Money: Free Money Versus Free Enterprise Hoovering Up Henry Money: Revolutions and Bullhorns Hoovering Up Henry Money: Crime and Democracy Hoovering Up Henry Money: Shaping the News How the Ford Foundation Changed Entertainment: The Ford Foundation The Ford Foundation’s Ugly, Warped View of America: Megaphones and Militancy https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/ford-foundation/ Follow us on our socials:  Twitter: @capitalresearch Instagram: @capitalresearchcenter Facebook: www.facebook.com/capitalresearchcenter YouTube: @capitalresearchcenter
