We are seeing video of trains rolling through Russia, moving tanks, guns, and ammo to the eastern Ukraine.  It looks very similar to video footage we saw back in 2014, when Putin moved troops into Ukraine and annexed Crimea.  Journalists on the ground are reporting a lot of different things about Putin’s intentions and how this will play out.  Lots of voices, lots of confusion, and massive potential implications. On this episode (recorded live), we talk with Robert Wilke.  He's the former Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Under Secretary of Defense in the Trump Administration, and now visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation.  Wilke gives us important historical context for all that's at play, and ties it in with the current landscape.  Join us as we take audience questions, and cut through the noise to and give you all that you need to know about this tense situation.

One of these debates that resurfaces with every cycle is that of net neutrality. This is the basic idea that internet service providers have to be neutral about the way they provide access to different areas of the Internet. The company you pay to provide you with internet shouldn’t restrict your access to websites based on their political alignment, for example. This is a principle on which most people agree, but the policies around it can be much more contentious.
So what is going on with net neutrality now? And why does it matter? I sat down with Annie Chestnut Tutor, Policy Analyst in the Tech Policy Center here at the Heritage Foundation, to find out.
