Covid-19: Response and Recovery

Mollie Hemingway and Dan McConchie

//////////////////////

The COVID 19 crisis has shaped our world like no other event since World War II. Governments have expanded authority over every aspect of our lives and now that the crisis is subsiding we are left to wonder if they will give back those powers or exercise them with more frequency. Compounding our problems is the global shutdown that has killed countless jobs and businesses causing more people than ever to look to those same governments for solutions to the problems these shutdowns have caused.

In this webinar from May 2020, you will hear a fascinating discussion with Novak Fellow, senior editor at The Federalist and Fox News contributor Mollie Hemingway as she talks about the importance of opening up the economy now that the COVID crisis is beginning to subside. Joining Mollie is TFAS alumnus and Illinois state senator Dan McConchie, who will discuss how governors in many states have assumed too much authority not granted by their legislatures.

What is Democratic Socialism?

Dr. Anne Bradley You wouldn’t think that Americans need to be told about the reality of socialism just 30 years after the collapse of the Soviet Empire—but to be frank, we have failed to pass these lessons on to rising generations. That’s why we need to teach as many people as possible about the reality of socialism. In this webinar, Dr. Bradley discusses the lies of “democratic socialism,” and what must be done to prevent America’s young people from being seduced by this lie. She explains why she believes we need to do more to educate younger Americans and shares how TFAS is fighting back against the radical ideologies taking root around the country.
