    Tokenized Assets & CBDCs: Are Property Rights Under Threat?

    In this episode of The Heartland Daily Podcast, we dive into the controversial 2022 amendments to the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) and their potential impact on property rights. Join us as we explore how tokenization—a system of creating digital representations of tangible assets—could reshape ownership and control. We discuss the rise of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and their implications for personal financial freedom, uncover parallels to past legal shifts in securities ownership, and question whether these changes truly democratize access or consolidate power among financial giants. Packed with insights and expert analysis, this episode sheds light on the potential risks and benefits of a tokenized future. Stay informed, stay skeptical, and stay ahead in this rapidly evolving digital landscape.

    Exposing the Ranked Choice Voting Scam (feat. Brady Smith)

    Welcome to the Emerging Issues Show - the show where we talking about topics that are popping up on the peripheries of society and public policy. Today, we are talking about a proposed overhaul to our voting system called Rank Choice Voting. Supposedly, this new voting system will allow for better representation and result in fairer outcomes, but is this really the case? Or will Rank Choice Voting work to further cement into place the two party system while disenfranchising more voters along the way? Our guest today is Brady Smith, a fellow in the American Journey Experience Freedom Rising Fellowship program and author of the article “Exposing the ranked-choice voting scam.”

    Public Health Emergency Authority Act (feat. Kendyl Turner)

    Welcome to the Emerging Issues Show - the show where we talking about topics that are popping up on the peripheries of society and public policy. Today, we dive into what should be a very controversial piece of proposed legislation that could grant governors immense emergency powers over society, circumventing individual liberty in the name of “public safety.” Seems pretty crazy, but the craziest aspect to it all is the same reason why you probably haven’t heard of it. Our guest today is Kendyl Turner, a fellow in the American Journey Experience Freedom Rising Fellowship program and author of the article “This bill would turn governors into tyrants, no legislature needed.”

    How Young Americans Are Embracing Socialism

    A growing number of people in America under the age of 40, and throughout the world, now believe that socialism is a viable political, economic, and social model.

In this episode Brian converses with Chris Talgo, co-author of Socialism at a Glance. Chris is senior editor at The Heartland Institute and a research fellow for Heartland's Socialism Research Center.

    Can America Escape the European Union's ESG Scheme?

    The other day, Donald Kendal, director of the Socialism Research Center at The Heartland Institute, joined The Shaun Thompson Show to talk about the European Union's new ESG scheme. The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive would mandate a whole host of ESG-like guidelines on businesses and industries in the EU. More importantly, because of the way the legislation was crafted, businesses, both large and small, here in the United States would be subject to the CSDDD mandates, too. Have a listen.
