This week on The Narrative podcast, Dr. Jay Richards–Director of the DeVos Center for Life, Religion, and Family at The Heritage Foundation–breaks down Project 2025 and why the left has been so upset over it, how gender ideology attacks what it means to be human, and why he's optimistic that the cultural transgender tide will turn.

To open the episode, CCV President Aaron Baer and Policy Director David Mahan share their perspectives on what it means to be living in history right now and their thoughts on Kamala Harris as the Democrat's potential presidential nominee. Aaron also explains why the proposed redistricting amendment on the ballot this fall would be detrimental to Ohio's democratic process.
