There’s a Solution to Police Abuse, But It’s Not Defunding Police Departments Jun 11, 2020

Show notes

The majority of America's police officers are brave men and women who make sacrifices and take risks every day to keep our communities safe, but incidents of misconduct do occur. Defunding America’s police departments would not solve the issue of police abuse, but limiting the power of police unions would allow for needed reforms.

Rachel Greszler, a research fellow at The Heritage Foundation, joins “Problematic Women” to discuss her new piece untitled, “Confronting Police Abuse Requires Shifting Power From Police Unions.”

Police unions have made it extremely challenging for police chiefs to fire or adequate reprimand officers for poor behavior or abuse of power. Control of police departments must be taken away from unions and placed back in the hands of the police chiefs who know their communities and officers best.

Also on today’s show, we share Rachel del Guidice’s recent conversation with Star Parker, founder of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education. Parker explains why America is not inherently racist.

Plus, Katrina Trinko joins us for a timely discussion regarding author J.K. Rowling and her recent tweet that defies political correctness. Enjoy the show!

Why Conservative Should Be Leading the Civil Rights Movement Jun 05, 2020

Show notes

“Conservatives should be leading the civil rights movement,” says Kay C. James, President of The Heritage Foundation. Conservatives have the solutions to solve much of the racial inequalities and injustices present in America today.

James joins the podcast to explain that the answers to many of the issues plaguing the African American community, such as poverty, lack of access to good healthcare, and poor education systems, are issues conservatives have the viable solutions for.

We also talk with sisters Deana Bass Williams and Dee Dee Bass Wilbon, co-founders of Bass Public Affairs about how America can move forward together after the killing of George Floyd and why prayer is truly our most powerful tool right now. And as always we will crown our Problematic Women of the Week.

One Woman’s Story of Unwittingly Furthering the Sexual Revolution May 28, 2020

Show notes

Sue Ellen Browder, author of “Subverted: How I Helped the Sexual Revolution Hijack the Women's Movement,” was a writer for Cosmopolitan magazine during the sexual revolution.

It was not until years later that she realized how the sexual revolution had strategically targeted the women’s movement to alter its message from female empowerment and opportunity to sexual freedom without morality.

Browder joins "Problematic Women” to tell her story in her own words. Also, be sure to check out The Daily Signal's recently released documentary telling the inside story of Browder’s work at Cosmo.

Reopening State Economies, Big-Government Bailouts, and the Drama in Between May 21, 2020

Show notes

States across America are weighing the decision of whether or not to reopen their economies. Some—such as Georgia and Florida—have few restrictions in place now and have allowed businesses to reopen, while others—among them Connecticut and Michigan—continue to limit economic activity.

Jessica Anderson, the executive director of Heritage Action for America, the lobbying arm of The Heritage Foundation, and a former member of the Trump administration, joins "Problematic Women” to explain why states should allow Americans to get back to work as soon as possible. Anderson also breaks down the costs of state bailouts and why they would do more harm than good.

Lessons of Hope From a Woman Who Has Spent Decades as a Quadriplegic Apr 30, 2020

Show notes

After spending more than 50 years in a wheelchair as a quadriplegic, Joni Eareckson Tada is still sharing a message of hope and life with the world.

At the age of 17 Tada took a dive into shallow water breaking her neck and leaving her unable to move her lower body or her hands. When she learned that she would never walk again, Tada probably would not have believed that she would go on to be a renowned artist, book author and found a powerful ministry to the disabled called Joni & Friends.

Tada joins "Problematic Women" to share her powerful story, explain her work on The Heritage Foundation’s National Coronavirus Recovery Commission, and offer us all some much needed hope.

Also on today’s show, we talk with Heritage research fellow Rachel Greszler about the state of the economy and America’s national debt. Be sure to check out Heritage Blue Print for Balance here.

Phyllis Schlafly’s Daughter Tells the True Story Hulu’s ‘Mrs. America’ Chose to Ignore Apr 23, 2020

Show notes

The Hulu mini series, “Mrs. America” depicts the work of Phyllis Schlafly to stand against the women’s movement and its push to pass the Equal Right Amendment (ERA).

The series perfectly captures Schlafly’s hair style and clothing choices but fails to accurately depict the conservative matriarch’s kindness and strength as she rallied wives and mothers across American in the fight against the ERA.

Today on Problematic Women we welcome Anne Schlafly Cori, Phyllis Schlafly daughter, to the show to find out the true story behind the ERA fight, who Phyllis Schlafly really was, and what the Hulu series got right and what it did not.

We also talk with Kirsten Hasler, Executive Director of Eagle Forum’s D.C. office, about carrying on Schlafly’s legacy. And as always we will be crowning our Problematic Woman of the week.

Enjoy this special live podcast recording and Q&A webinar with Anne Schlafly Cori hosted by The Leadership Institute.
