This week, Zack Smith, a legal fellow in the Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, breaks down the case against Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes.

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.

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 is a great primer, and sets us up perfectly for next episode when Joel will be back with Tim to tackle "stagflation."

A new study by Heritage senior policy analyst Jay Greene, Ph.D., found that an overwhelming number of DEI hires are spewing antisemitic views about Israel on social media. Greene breaks down his findings on this week's episode.

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 analyzes the election laws of every state and grades them on how well they protect the security and integrity of the election process. It’s great context to help understand what has been done, and what more can be done to make it so it's easy to vote, and hard to cheat. On this episode, we talk with Hans von Spakovsky. He's on the frontlines of developing the policies that many of these states are implementing, and has keen insight as to how 2022 can differ from 2020.
