The Chinese Spy Balloon Visits Heritage | Heritage Explains: China | Episode 2 Apr 05, 2023

Show notes

Obviously, the Cold War in which we find ourselves with China is a global event. But it already has a strong impact on our lives right here in the United States. These effects are visible in a lot of ways, which we're going to talk about here today. Some will surprise you, but some will feel familiar, like one from late January of this year.

Many of our listeners will recall the large balloon that was spotted over the Midwest, and was tracked by the government as it crossed over the United States. Federal officials shot the balloon down when it passed over the Atlantic Ocean on February 4. We now know that this was a Chinese spy balloon carrying sophisticated surveillance equipment, and was actually capable of maneuvering itself. For example, it flew in figure eight patterns over numerous US Military sites.

On this episode of Heritage Explains, we re-enact this event at Heritage and dig into the other ways that China is involving itself within United States borders. We discuss these issues with China expert Michael Pillsbury.

The Coffeemaker Problem | Heritage Explains: China | Episode 1 Mar 29, 2023

Show notes

Today, we are very excited to bring Heritage Explains to a new serialized format. That means that instead of one-off episodes, we are bringing you short series of shows, focused on explaining a particular topic. Why? Because we at Heritage know that we are at a crucial time in our nation's history. There are a few key issues that we must get right. And this topic, the one we're doing right now, as we speak, is one of them: The Threat of the Chinese Communist Party.

China is the biggest security threat facing American and the world right now.

But sometimes, it can be hard to believe that. For instance, if China is such a big enemy, why can't I find a coffeemaker that's made in the US? Heritage President Dr. Kevin Roberts and Director of Asian Studies Center Jeff Smith help explain.

Puberty Blockers, Cross-Sex Hormones, and Youth Suicide (Rebroadcast) Dec 05, 2022

Show notes

The left continues to push the narrative that so-called "gender-affirming care" for kids (puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones) is necessary to prevent youth suicide. But in reality, the data tell a totally different story, and parents are often kept in the dark. On this episode, we talk with Jay Greene about his new report that shows "gender-affirming care" is not only dangerous for kids, but also why parents (not government) must be empowered to make decisions for their kids.

The Blue City Murder Problem Nov 28, 2022

Show notes

Recently, some on the Left have tried to advance their arguments by claiming that rising crime rates are due to policies pursued by red states. In response, Heritage released a new report that shows that Democrat policies in Democrat lead cities and counties are actually responsible for rising crime rates in these red states. Cully Stimson, a widely recognized policy expert in crime control, and deputy director of Heritage’s Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, and an author of this report joins us to explain more.

Read the report.
