Mark Levin reads Christopher Briggs' Op-Ed in The New York Post about his daughter who has cancer and his family's fight for her health and Obamacare's problems.

“Joe Biden has been running an ad in which he says he can’t imagine what it would be like to have a child with cancer and no health coverage. I don’t have to imagine. Under the health 'reform' championed by Biden when he served as President Barack Obama’s Vice President, I live that reality every day.”
—Christopher B. Briggs, Publications and Public Affairs Counsel, Independent Institute; from his article ("New York Post," October 26, 2020)

The U.S. Supreme Court has been grabbing the headlines since the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and then the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett. The confirmation hearings have called Judge Barrett's faith into question and Senator Amy Klouchar went so far as to call the hearings a “sham.” Also top of mind is the question of “court packing,” even though Vice President Biden will not answer questions about his intentions.

In this sixth episode of Independent Outlook, David Theroux, Williamson Evers, and Graham Walker examine the U.S. Senate's confirmation hearings for the appointment of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, Columbus Day, COVID-19 pandemic, the Vice Presidential Debate between Mike Pence and Kamala Harris, Court Packing, legal Originalism vs. the Living Constitution, World Health Organization, 1619 Project, and more!

Independent Institute Executive Director Dr. Graham H. Walker interview Independent Senior Fellow Christopher Coyne to discuss Independent's shocking new article on the alarming extension of government power in the U.S.—the long-term consequences of which are devastating to civil society, economic welfare and the rule of law.

Sr. Fellow Williamson Evers appears on The Education Exchange podcast with Paul E. Peterson to discuss California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s veto of AB 331, a bill that would have mandated a course in ethnic studies as a California high school graduation requirement, starting in 2029-30. Newsom said the model curriculum was unbalanced and needed extensive revision. The curriculum would have taught students that capitalism is not a system of private property and investment, but that capitalism is merely a system of exploitation of labor. This is a similar view held by Karl Marx.

California legislators are attempting to mandate that public K-12 schools teach a highly-divisive “ethnic studies” curriculum with Marxist underpinnings and socialist conclusions. If left unchecked, this false curriculum won't stay in California. It will be exported to other states and communities across the country.
