BONUS | Sen. Josh Hawley on China and Ukraine May 17, 2023

Show notes

One of the more contentious points currently being debated in foreign policy today is the relationship of the United States to the conflict in between Russia and Ukraine. Many see parallels between the current situation between Russia and Ukraine and that between China and Taiwan, as we talked about in the series. Some say that the United States should be more active in the war in Ukraine, others less. What you’re about to hear are remarks from Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri, entitled China and Ukraine: A time for truth, presented here at the Heritage Foundation in February of 2023. In this talk, he argues for a foreign policy that focuses more on Taiwan, and less on Ukraine.

BONUS | The Danger of Fentanyl with Former DEA Agent Derek Maltz May 10, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to a bonus episode of Heritage Explains! We are looking forward to bringing you a new series starting on June 7, but in the next few weeks, we want to keep delivering you the best content to keep you informed about the important issues facing our country. In keeping with the series we just finished, six episodes on the threat of the Chinese Communist party, we are bringing you some bonus episodes, focusing on parts of the China story that we may have only covered tangentially or what to spend more time on.

First up, an episode on the quiet killer that has taken the lives of thousands of Americans per year for the last several years: fentanyl. Since 2014, we’ve seen continuous, disturbing growth in the number of deaths due to overdose from synthetic opioids, most of them fentanyl. For this bonus episode, we’re pulling in a conversation from the Daily Signal Podcast which originally aired in January of this year, between our reporter Samantha Aescheris and Derek Maltz, a veteran of the Drug Enforcement Administration and expert on fentanyl.
