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? What does it mean for your freedoms as an American? On this episode of Heritage Explains LIVE, we talk with Sarah Parshall Perry. She catches us up to where things are in the courts, where they are likely going, and other issues to keep in mind when talking about this unconstitutional power grab from the Biden Administration.

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. These will eliminate fundamental due process rights, and put students in a prisoners’ dilemma, coercing them into unnecessary opposition while undermining justice.

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 important to continue asking if the U.S. is able to adequately defend against all the threats that exist. On this episode Dakota Wood talks about the state of our preparedness, and uses the 2022 Index of Military Strength to demonstrate why the U.S. is only marginally able to defend America's vital national interests.You can read the Index here:2022 Index of U.S. Military Strength Hosted on Acast.

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 this episode of Heritage Explains Live, we talk with Heritage trade economist Tori Smith. She breaks down the basics, catches us up on where things currently stand, and takes your questions.

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 sports betting, generational change in ownership, or maybe it’s just time.  But we wonder if there are other factors at work here.  In this episode, our friend Stephen Moore joins us for a fun discussion on the other factors that could be lending to the Bears organization considering leaving their historic home in Downtown Chicago, and the policy consequences that come with it.Show Notes:Heritage Foundation WorkMeet Kim Foxx, the Rogue Prosecutor Whose Policies are Wreaking Havoc in ChicagoHeritage Foundation’s effort to push back on the massive reconciliation bill currently being pushed by The Left on Capitol Hill Steve Moore on the damage leftist policies have caused in ChicagoIllinois Policy Institute Work:Will the Chicago Bears Stay In the CityEnrollment in Chicago Public School Has Declined by Nearly 25,000Illinois Rising Property Taxes and Pension Debt Hosted on Acast.
