Well Said

Cherise Trump interviews Wichita State University Student, Olivia Gallegos on her recent trials and tribulations as a conservative leader on campus. They discuss the tyrannical behavior of Olivia's fellow students, as well as students across the country, and how this behavior is bolstered by the disconcerting knowledge gap within the student population when it comes to our country's fundamental principles and basic laws.

Join Cherise Trump as she and Michael Pack discuss the filmmaking industry's cancel culture driven by a desire to censor and manipulate history. In addition to delving into the cancellation of Pack's most recent documentary "Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words”, they also discuss why there seems to be so few conservative voices in film and television and what steps need to be taken to address this issue.

According to Pew Research Center, Generation Z is anyone born between 1997 and 2012, this makes the youngest Zoomer 9 and the oldest 24. What has Gen Z witnessed and how has this shaped their perspectives? President Ronald Reagan is often quoted, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction…” We always like to blame the most recent generation for ruining the country, and Millenials have reaped much of the blame for the state of the country today. But we often forget to look forward to how the generation after ours is struggling with similar or new issues and what potential they may have to bring us back from this brink of extinction. Join Cherise Trump and Rikki Schlott as they take a look at the political and cultural trends, as well as the potential in the next generation of leaders.

Join Cherise Trump and Josh Holdenried as they discuss religious liberty, how it relates to such concepts of free speech, and how it is under threat today. We have seen recent trends in the left’s attempts to remove faith and religion from political discourse by using forms of censorship. However, religious liberty is fundamental to who we are as Americans as it has informed and shaped most of our politics and our laws. There seems to also be a misinterpretation regarding the separation of church and state to the extent where many refuse to acknowledge the connections of religion and our politics which inevitably affect the state. Religion plays a part whether we like it or not. And today, for many, politics has become their religion. This has led many down a different path of not only trying to keep religion out of politics, but to redefine it all together.

As we approach the 20th anniversary of September 11th, 2001, join Cherise Trump as she sits down with Dakota Wood, a US Marine veteran of 20 years and current defense policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation. They discuss the state of our military culture today, how it has changed overtime, and the ideologically charged, social justice phenomenon that is taking hold of our national security apparatus as a whole.

College campuses are spending more and more money on diversity, equity, and inclusion, (DEI), efforts and in many cases, prioritizing diversity programs over all else. What are the origin of these ideas behind identity politics and Critical Race Theory? What is the ultimate goal of these programs? Do DEI efforts actually create a better learning environment on campus or do they accomplish the opposite? Join Cherise Trump and she discusses these topics and more with Dr. Jay Greene of the Heritage Foundation and Arthur Milikh of the Claremont Institute.

We have seen a disturbing trend of compelled support and viewpoint discrimination on college campuses at the hands of groups like the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement against Israel (BDS). They take advantage of the campus environment-- an environment of impressionable young minds which are ripe for protests, activism, and the far-left agenda—And yet there seems to be a fear around discussing anti-Semitism in the public forum. Once again, our speech is being chilled and our thoughts are being manipulated because of the left’s ability to pressure society into categorizing anti-Semitic sentiment as a ‘political viewpoint’ via the cloak of anti-Israel and anti-Zionism. The world has a long history of this, and some very recent memories in fact; yet the parallels are ignored due to the one thing that has always allowed despots to prevail—complacency. A form of denial and inaction we are all too familiar with. Join Cherise Trump with Speech First and Erielle Davidson, Senior Policy Analyst at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America, (JINSA), as they answer the question: what makes college campuses and the far left movement as a whole, ripe for anti-Semitic sentiment?

Cherise and Professor Robby George discuss the history of academic freedom and what its status is today on college campuses. Universities are meant to be truth-seeking institutions that allow for the exploration of ideas through the encouragement of intellectual curiosity. But we have continually seen professors and university staff get fired for not bowing down to the woke mob and for challenging their students to think outside of the box that is far-left progressivism. Courage is not just lacking on the side of the students who are now self-censoring more than ever, it is lacking in the faculty as well. With the prevailing bias on university campuses, will academic freedom ever truly exist?

Why does it seem the world of communication is coming down on free speech? At first social media and big tech companies like Google and Apple created a world of information flow, broad spanning communication capabilities, and expediency. The demand and the capabilities grew so quickly, we never really took the time to step back and assess whether it is truly a good thing. The immediate results are very clearly 'good'. However, there is a subtleness to the downsides that seems to have snuck up on us over time. These downsides bring us to a point where we are now debating issues that we thought had been mostly settled in America. How much freedom are we actually willing to give up? Join Cherise Trump and Rachel Bovard as they break down the complex issue of Big Tech, social media censorship, and free speech.

Join Cherise and Dr. Matthew Spalding as they explore the question of whether America has a culture, what it looks like, and how it is under attack. This is a special Independence Day episode that examines the connections of American political culture to our historic vision and explains how this is different from any other country in the world.
