Furthermore with Amanda Head

On this episode of the podcast Former Deputy National Security Advisor Victoria Coates outlines the critical challenges awaiting President Trump’s second term, including the Ukraine conflict and the urgent need for a credible broker to secure a lasting ceasefire — something she argues only Trump has demonstrated on the world stage. Heritage Foundation’s Foreign Policy Vice President also breaks down the Biden Administration's missteps in Ukraine, the stalled efforts on designating key Muslim Brotherhood factions as foreign terrorist organizations, and the historic opportunity for Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords. According to Coates, unlocking that next chapter depends on forging a viable resolution to the Palestinian question.

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head talks with author and The Heritage Foundation's Senior Fellow for Technology Daniel Cochrane to unpack the high-stakes antitrust fight against Facebook (now Meta) and what it reveals about Big Tech’s grip on American life. Cochrane breaks down the 2019–2020 antitrust case targeting Meta’s acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp, explaining why Judge Boasberg ultimately ruled the company wasn’t a monopoly due to rising competition from TikTok and YouTube.

Cochrane goes deeper, arguing that Meta’s real advantage isn’t just market share, it’s “stickiness," or the way the platform locks users into its ecosystem, harvesting data, shaping behavior, and exerting enormous political influence. He also details reports of collusion with the FBI, Meta’s ambitions to break into the Chinese market, and why current antitrust laws are too outdated to rein in today’s tech giants.

With AI accelerating societal change, especially among young people, Cochrane calls for modernized tech laws and urges listeners to take back control of their privacy by minimizing digital footprints and limiting social media exposure.

On this episode of the podcast, Missouri Congressman Eric Burlison discussed his proposal for a new healthcare account, the MAHA account, which would function like a supercharged Health Savings Account (HSA), allowing individuals to save up to $25,000 tax-free annually for health insurance and wellness expenses.

He emphasized the need for a new solution to address healthcare affordability issues, criticizing Obamacare’s preserve incentives. The Missouri Republican also highlighted the role of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) in driving up pharmaceutical costs and advocated for giving patients direct choice.

On this episode of the podcast, Indiana Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith joins Amanda Head to break down the state’s latest redistricting efforts and why he believes Indiana must act now to preserve fair congressional representation.

Lt. Governor Beckwith explains the balance between a reliably conservative electorate and a 30% Democratic population, warning that states like Illinois and California have mastered gerrymandering while Indiana risks falling behind. Beckwith doesn’t hold back on concerns inside his own party, calling out complacent state senators and making a strong case for closed primaries to stop Democratic crossover interference. His message to Hoosiers is clear: stay engaged, support redistricting reform and make your voices heard with your representatives.

On this episode of the podcast, NetChoice’s Director of Policy Patrick Hedger details why they launched a new lawsuit against the State of Virginia for passing a new law that would require minors younger than 16 years of age to undergo age-verification, receive parental consent, and be limited to just one hour per day of use on social media platforms. 

Hedger argues that this regulation represents a direct assault on free speech and privacy, comparing it to forcing you to read a book only one hour at a time or verifying your identity just to watch a documentary. Hedger contrasts Virginia’s approach with similar efforts, such as Texas’ SB814 which targeted minors’ access to pornographic content, and highlights a worrying trend of regulatory models being adopted from abroad, including the UK’s Online Safety Act and the proposed Kids Online Safety Act in Congress.

On this episode of the podcast Texas Land Commissioner Dr. Dawn Buckingham breaks down the state’s aggressive, tech-driven fight to secure the southern border and the state’s land. She details how Texas is using aerial surveillance, ground-penetrating technologies and rapid-response teams to detect and shutdown cartel-built tunnels before they become trafficking pipelines.

Commissioner Buckingham shares new data showing a sharp drop in illegal crossings and human trafficking attempts — even as federal policies make border security more difficult. She highlights the Texas General Land Office’s stewardship of 13 million acres, explaining how the state’s oil and gas revenues fuel public education and why energy independence remains a conservative cornerstone.

On this episode of the podcast, Matthew Faraci breaks down President Trump’s historic meeting with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, a onetime jihadist turned head of state. As al-Sharaa seeks global legitimacy, nearly 100 faith leaders from Save the Persecuted Christians (STPC) have released a letter and campaign video urging Trump to confront Syria’s leader over the ongoing blockade of humanitarian aid to Christians, Druze, and other minorities in southern Syria.

Faraci discusses the high-stakes diplomacy, the removal of U.S. and U.N. sanctions on al-Sharaa, and how President Trump’s push for a “fresh start” in Syria could hinge on one question: whether al-Sharaa will finally uphold his promises on religious freedom and human rights.

On this episode of the podcast, Job Creators Network CEO Alfredo Ortiz joins the show to explain how Republicans have failed to communicate their economic successes and what they can do to turn things around. Ortiz points to the strong economy under President Trump, including lower gas prices, overtime tax benefits, and small business growth driven by a 20% tax deduction and immediate expensing provisions. He says Democrats have ignored the rising costs of healthcare and energy, leaving small businesses and working families struggling. Ortiz calls on Republicans to refocus their message on affordability, opportunity, and real results for the 65 million Americans employed by small businesses.
