Dr. Atlas interviews Dr. Peter Berkowitz, the Tad and Dianne Taube Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution and former Director of Policy Planning at the State Department. They discuss what's going on in Israel and the rest of the Middle East in the wake of the October 7 attack by Hamas, the importance of the Trump-era Abraham Accords, and what to make of the Biden policies in the Middle East, Afghanistan, and elsewhere.

Independent Institute Research Fellow David Beito, author of The New Deal's War on the Bill of Rights: The Untold Story of FDR’s Concentration Camps, Censorship, and Mass Surveillance is interviewed on One America News Network’s Tipping Point with Kara McKinney.

This Capitol Hill event focuses on one of the most pressing topics of our time—the Covid lockdowns and the future of educational freedom in the West. Hosted by Senator Rand Paul, Dr. Scott Atlas and education expert and author James Tooley shed much-needed light on the harms inflicted on our children through the lockdowns and mandates and how the virus exposed the deep-rooted problems in America's state-run education system.

Independent Institute Chairman and CEO Mary L. G. Theroux is interviewed on The Breakdown with Cassandra Bielas on SiriusXM Channel 167. They discuss homelessness and housing policies that have failed in North America, and also point to where the issue is being addressed and working to help people break the cycle of addiction, which often leads to homelessness. The model that is working is highlighted in the film Beyond Homeless: Finding Hope, which was narrated by Mary Theroux.

Dr. Atlas interviews Senator Rand Paul on exposing the egregious malfeasance and cover-up by government, public health bureaucrats, and university scientists in the COVID pandemic. They discuss COVID's origins, NIH funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan, conflicts-of-interest involving government officials receiving royalties from pharmaceutical companies, and more.

In the research for his new book The New Deal's War on the Bill of Rights, Research Fellow David Beito looked at original documents revealing FDR's insensitivity to civil liberties and racist behavior, which deceived the press and populace. The parallels of modern politics are many, says Beito, including the claim of “fake news” against the critics of FDR's administration.

50 leaders from more than 30 top Bay Area civic organizations gathered for the first-ever solutions convening for homelessness, brainstorming initiatives around which they could coalesce to make significant positive impacts.

At this sold-out 2018 Independent Institute event, Tucker Carlson discusses America's elites, a group whose power and wealth from government privilege have grown beyond imagination even as the rest of the country has floundered. The people who run America now barely interact with it, and in his #1 New York Times, best-selling book, Ship of Fools, Carlson offers a blistering critique of our new overlords. Traditional liberals who worried about whales and defended free speech have been replaced by authoritarians who hide their hard-edged agenda behind identity politics. They’ll fleece you while lecturing you about bathrooms, plastic straws, and safe spaces.

“Left and right,” Carlson says, “are no longer meaningful categories in America. The rift is between those who benefit from the status quo, and those who don’t.” Our leaders are fools, Carlson concludes, “unaware that they are captains of a sinking ship.” At this event, and in his signature fearless and witty style, he addresses the all-important question: How do we put the country back on course?
