From the Heritage Foundation, I'm Tim Desher, and this is Heritage Explains live.

Thank you. Desher, and this is Heritage Explains live. There is a lot at stake this election season, and we want to use it as a way to highlight

how the left's radical agenda is infiltrating almost every aspect of our lives. One of those is parental rights.

We've heard the stories about gender affirming care being taught in schools, critical theory,

The left is on the move, and we wanted to go through some of the ways to push back.

On this episode of Heritage Explains Live, we're joined by Dr. Jay Richards.

He's the director of the DeVos Center here at the Heritage Foundation, and on this episode,

Richards. Now, Jay, I'm just so glad you're here. It's been a fun time traveling around the

country with you, speaking all over the place, looking, seeing what's going on. You've been there

in the trenches. You see what's going on. So it's really great. Thank you for being here. Oh, yeah, Tim, good to be with you. Well, let me just say this. We are, the goal here is to expose and then figure out a way to

push back against the left's insane agenda that does nothing but erode our right to protect our

children and raise them as we desire, not as the radical leftists do.

So today, you know, we're using this election season as a way of highlighting all of the

radical left's agenda and how that could play out after November if their policies are implemented.

So, Jay, they're using every means possible, radical candidates, radical ballot initiatives,
