The horrific attacks on Israel have served as a striking illustration of the moral rot present on American college campuses. Countless professors, DEI staff, and students have celebrated the slaughter and proclaimed their support for terrorist actions. Disturbingly, this is the result of decades of American colleges and universities neglecting their responsibility to shape their students into virtuous citizens, choosing instead to curry favor with radicals.

The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the most interesting energy and environmental policy issues of the day with top national experts. In this episode, Jack invites Mario Loyola, Senior Research Fellow at Heritage, Director, Environmental Law and Rish Management, Institute of Environment, Florida International University, and former Trump White House alum to discuss the recently published Fifth National Assessment on Climate Change. As you will learn, the Biden Administration’s take on global warming is even more extreme than the International Panel on Climate Change—and that’s saying something. Join Jack and Mario for this informative discussion and to get the scoop on why Biden’s climate change agenda is full of hot air. Let us know what you think at  thepowerhour@heritage.org!

The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the most interesting energy and environmental policy issues of the day with top national experts. In this episode, Jack and Mike McKenna, President of MWR Strategies and Heritage Foundation Visiting Fellow discuss a recently introduced bill that would establish a tariff, or should we say tax, on imported items. The bill’s sponsors insist the tariff is not a tax but Mike and Jack’s analysis suggests otherwise. But the problem with the carbon tariff is not just that it will increase prices for American families and businesses, it establishes an important foundation on which more carbon dioxide-based regulation will surely be built. If you want to know why carbon tariffs are really just a tax by another name, and how they could impact the US economy for years to come, you will want to check this one out. Are we right? Are we wrong? Let us know what you think at thepowerhour@heritage.org!

This past year, the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, chaired by Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), has conducted several outstanding oversight investigations into the performance of federal agencies that failed to respond effectively to the national medical emergency. These investigations revealed that federal officials failed to provide compelling information on the origin of the pandemic. They confused the public with mixed messages on the rationale and effectiveness of masking and provided weak scientific justifications for comprehensive vaccine mandates and extended school closures.

After the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit ruled in August that the U.S. Food & Drug Administration had to restore critical safeguards for chemical abortion drugs and prevent their shipment by mail, the U.S. Department of Justice requested that the Supreme Court review the 5th Circuit’s ruling. As the nation waits for the Court’s decision, questions abound. Can Congress prevent the shipment of abortion drugs by mail? May states restrict abortion pills, even though they have been deemed “safe and effective” by the FDA? Did the FDA follow the law in approving abortion pills in the first place? And how “safe” are abortion pills, really? Join us for a discussion with experts who have the answers to these questions and more.

Many have come to believe that the Department of Justice, federal law enforcement agencies, and some state prosecutors are operating a rigged system of justice, and that the Trump indictments are the clearest example of this. They point to Operation Crossfire Hurricane, FISA abuses, Hillary Clinton’s private server, the slow walking of the Hunter Biden case, the riots in the summer of 2020, the vandalizing of crisis pregnancy centers, the targeting of pro-life protestors and concerned parents voicing objections at school board meetings, and more to justify their deep concerns that the system is rigged against conservatives and in favor of liberals. So, is the justice system rigged and if so, what can and should be done about it?
