A Policy Agenda to Save America Policy-palooza: During the the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Heritage held a day-long Policy Fest.   Among the speakers were former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, Sen. Mike Lee, and Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt.  Paul Dans, director of Project 2025, talked about the lies and misinformation that the Left is spreading about this Heritage-led effort.  Tucker Carlson gave a speech and sat for a Q & A with Heritage President Dr. Kevin Roberts.  More than 90 members of the media were in attendance, including nine TV cameras, and it was streamed live on YouTube.  Watch the entire Policy Fest event here.  Roberts also interviewed author and media host Michael Knowles for his podcast “The Kevin Roberts Show” at the convention center.  A Bipartisan Commission Must Investigate the Trump Shooting Dereliction: Who will uncover the truth about the security lapses before the assassination attempt against Donald Trump?  Heritage Visiting Fellow Mark Morgan says that the public has lost faith in the FBI, the Justice Department, and Congress and that a bipartisan commission should investigate.   Morgan is a former FBI agent and top official at the Department of Homeland Security.  Read more here.  Map of Crimes Committed by Illegal Aliens  America last: While the Left continues to ignore the border crisis, families across the nation are suffering from preventable crimes.   Heritage’s crime map illustrates how every state is now a border state when it comes to crime and chaos caused by illegal aliens.  “We know firsthand that Biden’s open border is our nation’s greatest national security threat,” Arizona resident Jim Chilton told The Daily Signal at the Republican National Convention.   Check out the interactive map here.   The Transition Integrity Project Maps Out Election-Fraud Scenarios  Election integrity: In June, the Heritage-organized, non-partisan Transition Integrity Project (TIP) held exercises with key experts to expose possible threats to the next presidential election.   The TIP’s goal is to ensure that the 2024 elections are fair, legal, and peaceful, and that the outcome is accepted as legitimate by the public.   Last week, the organizers came to Heritage to share their findings.   Watch the event here.  Election Fraud Is Real   Do you know that there are hundreds of proven cases of election fraud in America?
