  Who Funds That? EP 18: You Fund That

  Aug 18, 202624 min

  On this podcast, we take time to investigate who funds the groups and people who are influencing public policy—but what if you want to be one of those people? Well, you could always provide well-appreciated support to us if you like the sort of things we do—not just this podcast. Joining me to discuss that which you could fund by supporting Capital Research Center is our organization president, Scott Walter.

  Who Funds That? EP 17: Against Nuclear Energy, Against Humanity

  Aug 12, 202622 min

  Do environmentalists—and the rest of the progressive left that includes combating climate change as part of its “Omnicause”—care more about saving the planet or replacing market capitalism, private property, and pluralist living arrangements with socialist tower-blocks connected by overcrowded light rail (on which there will be no enforcement of fare payment, naturally)? There’s a tell—opposing nuclear-powered electric generation, which emits no point-source carbon emissions whatsoever. And my colleague Ken Braun, author of Capital Research Center’s comprehensive report on the environmentalist movement’s “Enemies of Energy,” has updated his extensive list of left-wing groups opposed to nuclear energy—the ones that clearly privilege making a New Soviet Man over making the Earth better for people.

  Who Funds That? EP 16: Big Labor’s Leftist Investments

  Aug 4, 202621 min

  A faction of the political right, supported by the think tank American Compass that is funded by the leftist Hewlett Foundation, claims that organized labor has a “conservative heart” and should be empowered to dominate American life in a manner not seen since the 1940s or 1950s. But is that true? Just about all available evidence suggests not—Big Labor is, as it has been since at latest the turn of the twentieth century, Everything Leftism. Adding more evidence to the pile today is Jarrett Skorup of the Mackinac Center, who joins me to discuss his report on Big Labor’s involvement in left-wing “environmental, social, and governance” — ESG — investing movements.

  Who Funds That? EP 15: Congress Considers Nonprofit Regulation

  Jul 28, 202629 min

  Many people are saying that Congress doesn’t do anything, and…yeah they’re often correct—and that’s sometimes a good thing. But on the subject of nonprofit and advocacy group regulation, the House Committee on Ways and Means—responsible for writing federal tax laws—is proving very active, advancing four bills to change how nonprofits and political advocacy groups operate. Joining us is our colleague Robert Stilson to discuss the legislation and the goals of nonprofit regulatory policies.

  Who Funds That? EP14: The Foreign Funding Election Loophole

  Jul 21, 202626 min

  It is supposed to be the law that foreigners, people who do not have citizenship or permanent residency, cannot fund federal election campaigns. But our colleague Parker Thayer notes that there is a giant loophole in this prohibition—one that the government needs to take seriously—namely, the charitable election sector (which maybe also shouldn’t exist). He joins us today to discuss foreign nationals, charities, and elections.
