Ying Ma, author of the book "Chinese Girl in the Ghetto," speaks about women and 2016 policy, as well as her own life's journey: a childhood immigrant from Communist China, growing up in the ghetto of Oakland CA, earning her bachelor's and law degrees, to the role of presidential campaign spokesperson for Dr. Ben Carson.

Her remarks were recorded at the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute's 2016 Western Women's Summit in Santa Barbara CA in April.

Best known for her role in the movie Clueless, Ms. Dash talks briefly about her ideological transformation from liberal to conservative and candidly answers questions from the predominately college student audience.

The event was recorded in April 2016 at the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute's Western Women's Summit in Santa Barbara CA.

International human-rights lawyer Nina Shea discusses ISIS's genocide against Christians in the Middle East and US policy response to it. Ms. Shea directs the Center for Religious Freedom at the Hudson Institute.

In a luncheon of female college student leaders, president Michelle Easton presented CBLPI's 2016 Woman of the Year award to Rep. Marsha Blackburn. Congressman Blackburn spoke to the attendees about leadership and the challenges they will face as women.

Terrorists fervently believe they are being good and faithful Muslims when they follow the 'Wahhabist, Selafist and Jehadist' Islamic teaching to commit acts of jihad. With 2.5 million Muslims in the U.S., this teaching represents a serious threat inside our walls, argues Katharine Gorka, president of the Council on Global Security. And policymakers who fail to grasp this fundamental reality will leave the nation defenseless and unsafe.

Ms Gorka works closely with US government agencies, law enforcement and the intelligence community in understanding the threat posed by Islamic terrorism and radical ideologies. Her remarks were recorded at the February 2016 Conservative Women's Network luncheon in Washington DC.

Clare Boothe Luce may be remembered as an equal rights feminist, argues Texas Right to Life Director Elizabeth Graham, yet her brand of feminism — which valued life as the foundation of equality of the sexes — stands in stark contrast to the modern-day feminist cause "that militantly demands the right to kill their children as a condition of their publicly-recognized equality with men."

The abortion industry is the mantle of modern-day feminism, and the abortion death toll has risen to the tens of millions. Graham discusses the policy impact of the recently-released videos that exposed Planned Parenthood's selling of baby body parts.

Graham's presentation was recorded at the Institute's Texas Women's Summit held in Fort Worth TX in October 2015.

Congressman Jim Jordan discusses the good (trends in the right direction, including actions by the House Freedom Caucus), the bad (court decisions and the Left’s assault on the Rule of Law and traditions), and the future (changes to the broken tax code, healthcare, and the federal government’s 79 different means-tested programs in the welfare system) at the December 2015 Conservative Women’s Network, a monthly Washington DC event co-sponsored by the Luce Institute and The Heritage Foundation.

Representative Jordan serves on the House Judiciary Committee and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, where he is chairman of the Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Job Creation and Regulatory Affairs. He is a great advocate for taxpayers through his work on spending issues and efforts to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government.

He served as chairman of the House Republican Study Committee, the largest caucus of conservatives. He helped found the House Freedom Caucus and today serves as its first chairman.

Katharine Gorka discusses the serious nature of the ISIS terror threat and why a conservative response is necessary to protect us. Her comments were recorded at the February 2016 Conservative Women's Network luncheon, a monthly event co-sponsored by the Luce Institute and The Heritage Foundation.

Katharine C. Gorka is the President of the Council on Global Security, a think tank that works to develop, advocate, and build support for policies that will promote freedom of belief and defeat extremist ideologies. From 2009 to 2014 she served as Executive Director of the Westminster Institute, based in McLean, Virginia. Her company, Threat Knowledge Group, provides counter-terrorism training and expertise to the FBI, Special Operations, local law enforcement and military. She co-edited the volume, "Fighting the Ideological War: Winning Strategies from Communism to Islamism," and appears frequently in the media, including FOX News, Breitbart, EWTN, CBN, and al-Hura. Most recently she co-authored the report ISIS: The Domestic Threat.
