The Left has corrupted every institution of society and infected its poisonous ideology into almost every aspect of American life. Join this all-day program to hear from influential voices who are sounding the alarm and fighting back against the rot of ideological weaponization.

Former leader of the U.K. Conservative Party Sir Iain Duncan Smith MP joins The Heritage Foundation’s Dr. Nile Gardiner to discuss the immense threat posed to the free world by the rising power of Communist China, as well as its malevolent alliance with Moscow and Tehran. Sir Iain will call on British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and U.S. President Joe Biden to adopt a far tougher approach towards Beijing’s efforts to undermine the West. He will also address the need for the United States and the United Kingdom to stand up to the rising threat from Iran, including Tehran’s support for terrorist groups such as Hamas.

Can Congress prevent the shipment of abortion drugs by mail? May states restrict abortion pills, even though they have been deemed “safe and effective” by the FDA? Did the FDA follow the law in approving abortion pills in the first place? And how “safe” are abortion pills, really? Join us for a discussion with experts who have the answers to these questions and more.

The Mandate for Leadership Series, presented by Heritage and The Epoch Times, features substantive public policy discussions with some of the most influential national leaders. “Mandate for Leadership,” a book first published in 1981, has informed presidential administrations with principled policy recommendations for more than 40 years. Now, as then, we know who we are fighting and what we are fighting for: our Republic, our freedom, and everyday Americans. It will be a daunting test, but no more so than every generation of Americans has faced and passed. Still haven’t subscribed to The Heritage Foundation on YouTube?

The horrific Hamas terrorist attacks of October 7th have placed our scheduled event on the U.S.-Israel alliance into a wholly new and more urgent context. The geostrategic importance of this relationship remains the same, but the need to discuss both antisemitism, which is obviously a grim problem not only in the Middle East but also here at home, and the security partnership between our two countries, particularly in terms of the savage and growing threat to us both from the Islamic Republic of Iran, and to chart a new path into the next quarter century is now an imperative.

Many have come to believe that the Department of Justice, federal law enforcement agencies, and some state prosecutors are operating a rigged system of justice, and that the Trump indictments are the clearest example of this. They point to Operation Crossfire Hurricane, FISA abuses, Hillary Clinton’s private server, the slow walking of the Hunter Biden case, the riots in the summer of 2020, the vandalizing of crisis pregnancy centers, the targeting of pro-life protestors and concerned parents voicing objections at school board meetings, and more to justify their deep concerns that the system is rigged against conservatives and in favor of liberals. So, is the justice system rigged and if so, what can and should be done about it? Still haven’t subscribed to The Heritage Foundation on YouTube?

Few would be surprised to learn that children of religious fathers are more likely than their peers to be religious as adults. A recent study goes beyond that, however. The Communio Nationwide Study on Faith and Relationships reveals that the collapse in marriage and the resulting decline in resident fatherhood may offer the best explanation for the decline of Christianity in the United States. These conclusions are drawn from the results of a nationwide survey of 19,000 Sunday church attendees conducted during worship in 112 evangelical, Protestant, and Catholic congregations in 13 different states. Join us for a conversation with the founder and president of Communio, JP De Gance, about this research and what we can do in light of it.

The Supreme Court returns October 2 for its 2023–2024 Term, and the justices will hear cases on a number of important issues: separation of powers, nondelegation, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial, Second Amendment, Fifth Amendment double jeopardy clause, immigration, racial gerrymandering, and more. For instance, in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, the Court will return to the question of whether Chevron should be overruled. In Securities and Exchange Commission v. Jarkesy, the Court will grapple with three questions which include, inter alia, whether statutory provisions empowering the SEC to seek criminal penalties through agency adjudication violate the Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial. In Muldrow v. City of St. Louis, the Court will decide whether Title VII prohibits discriminatory transfer decisions absent a court determination that the transfer significantly disadvantaged the employee. And in O’Connor-Ratcliff v. Garnier and Lindke v. Freed, the Court will determine when a public official blocking an individual on the official’s personal social media account constitutes state action. Please join us for a lively discussion with two distinguished Supreme Court litigators, and former Solicitors General, about what could potentially unfold in the next Supreme Court term.

Is China building new naval bases? Join us for a conversation on Harboring Global Ambitions: China’s Ports Footprint and Implications for Future Overseas Naval Bases, a recent report on where China is likely to establish its next overseas naval base. Harboring Global Ambitions draws on primary data collection of project-level financial flows dating back to 2000. A comprehensive review of 123 seaport projects totaling $29.9 billion at 78 different ports in 46 countries points to eight potentially viable short-term Chinese naval basing options. This analysis marks an important and unique contribution to better understand China's global port financing portfolio and contend with China’s efforts to rule the seas.

Since President Biden took office, over two million illegal immigrants have been released into the United States. More than 1.5 million more “gotaways” snuck in without even encountering border agents. Though monthly border encounters averaged well over 150,000, and often above 200,000, the Department of Homeland Security detained fewer than 30,000 at a time. They assign “Alternatives to Detention” (ATD) to a small number but with insignificant tracking and follow-through. The risks for American society from recidivist criminals are significant. The logistical challenge for an enforcement-minded president in 2025 will take our best expertise and devotion to duty. Immigration policy experts Tom Homan, Andrew Arthur, and Don Rosenberg join Heritage’s Simon Hankinson to share recommendations on how America can recover from the current border crisis and its nation-wide negative impact.

The voices of and behind the hit film, “Sound of Freedom,” — including Tim Ballard and the actor who portrays him on screen, Jim Caviezel — break down the utter destruction wrought by human trafficking they aim to convey to audiences across the nation. Ultimately, Sound of Freedom is a force for good, which is why many of the usual proponents of wickedness and debauchery are taking issue with it. Make it a priority to watch the movie.

For nearly forty years, the United States has enjoyed exclusive security agreements with three Pacific Island nations, collectively known as the Freely Associated States. These agreements must be renewed this year—and the clock is ticking before two of the three agreements expire this September. With China increasing its malign influence operations and infringing on Pacific nations’ sovereignty, Congress must not let this once-every-two-decades opportunity slip away by passing and funding the Compact of Free Association (COFA) agreements. Hear from the lead U.S. negotiator himself, Ambassador Joseph Y. Yun, as he sits down with Heritage’s Jeff M. Smith to discuss the importance of the COFA agreements and countering Chinese influence in the Pacific Islands. Still haven’t subscribed to The Heritage Foundation on YouTube?

Industrialized nations have faced declining marriage and birthrates for decades. What are the implications for Western Civilization if this trend is not reversed? Is there an obligation on federal and state governments to address this problem? If so, what policy levers are available, how effective are they, and what are the tradeoffs? The Heritage Foundation has convened policy experts and social scientists to engage in a dialogue on these vital, complex questions to reveal their causes and explore potential solutions. The opening panel, moderated by Dr. Jay Richards, will discuss the cultural aspects of family, marriage, and the importance of a thriving marital birth-rate. Roger Severino, Vice President for Domestic Policy, will host a special conversation with The Honorable Szabolcs Takács, Ambassador of Hungary to the United States, on his country’s groundbreaking policies promoting the Hungarian marital birthrate. The final panel on policy prescriptions, moderated by Paul Ray, will feature research and policy recommendations to promote the marital birthrate.

Medicare now enrolls approximately 65 million beneficiaries at an annual cost of nearly $1 trillion. Within ten years, Medicare will cover an estimated 79 million persons at an annual cost of nearly $2 trillion. The recent Medicare Trustees Report warned that without change, the program faces insolvency. The status quo not only threatens seniors’ continued access to high-quality care, but also guarantees large and growing financial burdens for seniors and taxpayers alike. The Heritage Foundation has brought together leading experts to outline a vision for strengthening and modernizing the Medicare program. In a recently released book, Modernizing Medicare: Harnessing the Power of Personal Choice and Market Competition, authors offer policy solutions focused on increasing personal choice, improving price transparency, and unleashing market competition as a means to control costs without compromising services for seniors. Join Heritage’s Robert Moffit and contributors Doug Holtz-Eakin, President of American Action Forum, John Goodman, President of the Goodman Institute, and Brian Miller, MD, Non-resident Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, for a discussion on the future of Medicare in ways that rise above the rhetoric of Washington-based beltway battles.

In his latest book, A Watchman in the Night, Cal Thomas takes readers on a “road trip” through over 50 years of journalism and American life, serving as a “watchman” on culture and politics and seeking to conform it to a standard that never changes. As one of America’s most popular syndicated columnists, Thomas offers a living history of our times, of who we were then and who we are now, and of who we might become (for better or worse) in the future.
