There have been days of anger and unrest in Los Angeles over illegal immigration raids and arrests. The ICE operations that sparked the protests began on Friday, the same day that perhaps the most infamous deportee, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, was brought back to the U.S. after spending weeks in El Salvador. Although he's back in America, thanks to a Supreme Court order, he will now face federal human trafficking charges. Texas Republican Michael McCaul joins the FOX News Rundown to discuss Abrego Garcia's case, the unrest in Los Angeles, and why he believes there was a need for President Trump's tough immigration policies following four years of the Biden administration. It is primary day in the New Jersey gubernatorial race. While it's an off-year election, voter turnout and the extent to which President Trump's agenda is on voters' minds will draw significant attention. In recent elections, Republicans have made progress flipping blue districts red and attempting to turn the state purple. The Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Michael Watley, joins the Rundown to discuss whether his party's momentum in states like New Jersey will continue into 2026, what the race in the Garden State may tell us about the national trends, and the importance of Congress passing that 'one big, beautiful bill'.

On Monday, President Trump signed an executive order implementing a new prescription drug policy that he suggested could cut drug prices by 59 percent. At the signing, he emphasized the U.S. "will no longer tolerate profiteering and price gouging from Big Pharma." The government discovered this in 2022 per an HHS report, where researchers found that U.S. pharmaceutical companies typically charge two to three times more for prescription drugs than other developed nations. Food & Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary joins the Rundown to explain how the President's "most favored nation" drug pricing plan works and shares their "carrot and stick" approach to getting Big Pharma to cooperate on fair prices. Georgia lawmakers are already strategizing ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. With Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff already announcing his bid for a second term in the Senate earlier this year, several Republicans have stepped up to challenge the incumbent senator. One of the candidates is Georgia Congressman Buddy Carter. Rep. Carter joins the Rundown to share why he is the candidate to take on Senator Ossoff and later he gives his reaction to the Trump administration's recent tariff deal with China.

School choice was dealt a blow in Kentucky when Amendment 2 went down in flames on election day by nearly 2 to 1 margin. Voters rejected the idea that Kentucky parents should have some kind of choice in education by teacher deception and misinformation about the amendment, and it was funded by the National Educational Association. Was defeat of Amendment 2 good for Kentucky? Big education hasn't delivered when it comes to the success of Kentucky students, as we are near the bottom in education performance in K-12. Joining us to talk about big education is Howard Husock, a senior fellow in domestic policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute.

In this episode of the First Day Podcast, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., welcomes Howard Husock of the American Enterprise Institute and E.J. McMahon of the Empire Center for Public Policy to discuss the impact of the 2017 federal tax reforms on charitable giving. They explore how the doubling of the standard deduction reduced the number of taxpayers who itemize, significantly diminishing the tax incentives for charitable contributions. While overall charitable giving has increased in nominal terms since 2017, the share of adjusted gross income dedicated to philanthropy, particularly by middle- and upper-middle-income households, has notably declined. Howard and E.J. detail how the reforms affected donor behavior, especially among households earning $100,000 to $200,000—a critical demographic for many nonprofits. With fewer taxpayers itemizing deductions, the traditional end-of-year giving surge, driven by tax considerations, has weakened. Meanwhile, wealthier individuals earning $1 million or more have increased their giving, leveraging tax incentives tied to capital gains and higher incomes. This shift highlights a growing disparity in how different income groups approach charitable contributions under the current tax structure. The conversation also looks ahead to 2025, when the 2017 tax policy is set to expire, potentially reopening the door to significant reforms. Howard and E.J. advocate for a universal charitable tax deduction, which briefly existed during the COVID-19 pandemic. They argue this policy could democratize tax benefits for giving, making it more inclusive and accessible across income levels, while protecting charitable incentives from being perceived as a "loophole for the rich." They also emphasize the potential of donor-advised funds (DAFs) to help donors bundle contributions for greater tax efficiency while maintaining consistent philanthropic support. For fundraisers, the episode underscores the importance of understanding the evolving tax landscape and its influence on donor motivations. Howard and E.J. suggest strategies like promoting DAFs and discussing "bundling" techniques with donors to maximize their giving impact. By staying informed and adapting to these changes, fundraisers can better engage donors and sustain giving in an increasingly complex tax environment.
After 25 years at National Public Radio, Senior Editor Uri Berliner resigned Wednesday following backlash from fellow journalists regarding comments he made about NPR's political agenda. Berliner published an essay in The Free Press earlier this month critiquing his former employer's liberal bias, which allegedly increased following the 2016 election. Before his departure, Berliner was suspended from NPR for failing to secure approval to speak with other news outlets. Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and former member of the Board of Directors at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Howard Husock, joins the Rundown to share why people criticize NPR's public funding and why journalists should remain open-minded. A part of the immigration debate came to an end Wednesday after both articles of impeachment against U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas were voted unconstitutional in the Senate. Illegal migrant encounters reached record levels in 2023, and released migrants are scattered throughout the U.S., with many ending up in self-proclaimed “sanctuary cities.” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston has announced the city plans to spend $90 million to help migrants who come to his city for six months. Within days of the Mayor's announcement, two counties sued, challenging the state's sanctuary laws. Douglas County Commissioner George Teal joins the podcast to explain the lawsuit, how Denver has reached “a critical mass point” with their migrant population, and how the issue threatens to spillover and hurt surrounding communities and migrants alike.

Michael joins Howard Husock, Manhattan Institute's Vice President of policy research, in a conversation about the logistics of...leaf blowers. Should they be regulated or outright banned? What are the environmental impacts? Are electric blowers a reliable alternative? Michael and Husock hope to answer these questions in a surprisingly complex episode of the Smerconish Podcast. Original air date 01 December 2022.
Howard Husock is a senior fellow in Domestic Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), where he focuses on municipal government, urban housing policy, civil society, and philanthropy. On this episode Lee Bergstein and Cooper Knowlton chat with Howard about the end of 421-a tax subsidy and the future of NYC's real estate tax system. The 421-a subsidy was a tax break where developers who included multi-family residential housing within their projects would get a tax break for 15-25 years. It was the most costly tax break in NYC, costing $1.77 billion dollars annually, and when the bill expired in June it was not renewed, as many perceived that the cost to the city was too high compared to the low amount of new units it created. This conversation digs into why the subsidy wasn't renewed, what comes next, and how to fix what many perceive as a broken real estate tax system in New York City.

Housing policy in America is inextricably linked with employment opportunities, small business ventures, education access, and a host of other issues that directly impact economic opportunity. Understanding the history of low income housing in America is key to understanding and reimagining housing policy today. On this episode of Hardly Working, I am joined by Howard Husock to discuss his new book, The Poor Side of Town and Why We Need It. The book lays out a history of American housing policy and a thesis on how low-income housing that allows for private ownership can serve as a gateway to upward mobility, rather than the concentrated and intergenerational poverty that characterizes low-income housing today. Husock is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute where he focuses on urban housing policy, civil society, and municipal government. He has held positions at the Manhattan Institute, the Harvard Kennedy School, and has worked as Emmy-winning documentary filmmaker. We discuss the history of low income residencies in America, the loss of social capital in low income neighborhoods, how much of this is due to public policy interventions, and solutions to rethink housing policy. You can find Howard's book on the AEI website. I hope you enjoy the conversation.

When it comes to “affordable housing,” politicians love selling the public on more mandates, larger subsidies and ever-more government “solutions” to the crisis. However, in reality, those are the very types of policies that caused much of our modern troubles with home affordability in the first place. In this episode of “Free to Offend,” Howard Husock, author of the new book The Poor Side of Town: And Why We Need It, discusses the way government has systematically destroyed “naturally-occurring” forms of affordable housing. From early Soviet-style housing projects to today's mix of subsidies and mandates, government intervention has a long history of wiping out the kind of housing options that used to be available to families of modest means.
Howard Husock, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and author of "The Poor Side of Town," takes a critical look at the more than 100-year effort by the federal government, private developers, and others to create low-cost housing in the United States.

American Enterprise Institute senior fellow and Philanthropy Roundtable Executive Senior Fellow Howard Husock joins us to discuss his new book on housing policy, The Poor Side of Town and Why We Need It. We discuss various “housing reform” movements over the past century that actually wiped away once-thriving neighborhoods and private home ownership for many immigrant and minority communities, and what California policymakers can learn form a century of policy mistakes as they seek to alleviate the state's housing crisis.
In https://www.aei.org/research-products/book/the-poor-side-of-town-and-why-we-need-it/ (“The Poor Side of Town: And Why We Need It”) (Encounter Books, 2021), AEI's Howard Husock combines a critique of more than a century of housing reform policies with the idea that simple low-cost housing — a poor side of town — helps those of modest means build financial assets and join in the local democratic process. Mr. Husock shares the powerful stories of housing reformers, critiques the legacy of urban renewal policies and exclusionary zoning, and shows where American cities went wrong. More importantly, he offers solutions as to how urban planners, state and local policymakers, and concerned citizens can help their communities make housing more affordable and accessible for those of modest means.

In a January 26, 2021 White House Memorandum, President Biden directed the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to reexamine actions taken during the Trump presidency, and ordering the Secretary to ensure the 1968 Fair Housing Act, which bans discrimination, was being properly administered. On that initiative, Housing Secretary Marcia Fudge moved to reinstate two Obama-era Fair Housing rules rejecting former Secretary Ben Carson's previous directives.Secretary Fudge rescinded Secretary Carson's interpretation of the disparate impact rule, rescinded the Preserving Community and Neighborhood Choice Rule, and reinstated the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule. Here to discuss the pros, cons, and implications of HUD's recent changes are several housing policy experts: Howard Husock, Bryan Greene, and Daniel Huff with moderator Ken Marcus. Featuring: -- Howard Husock, Senior Fellow, Domestic Policy Studies, American Enterprise Institute -- Bryan Greene, Vice President, Policy Advocacy, National Association of Realtors -- Daniel Huff, former General Deputy Assistant Secretary, United States Department of Housing and Urban Development-- Moderator: Hon.

Description: The New York legislature has just passed a https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2021/S854 (law) that could bring $350 million of tax revenues to the state each year from marijuana sales. While the short-term benefits may be appealing, it Governor Cuomo and his lawmakers have not considered the far-reaching ramifications of such a law. The passage of this and other similar laws across the nation call into question several items: What has happened to bourgeois virtues such as honesty, integrity, temperance, and delayed gratification in our nation? What role does the government have in maintaining those values? If that is not their role, what is? In this episode, Naomi and Ian are joined by https://www.aei.org/profile/howard-husock/ (Howard Husock), an adjunct fellow alongside them at American Enterprise Institute studying local government, civil society, and urban housing policy. Referencing one of his recent columns, Howard discusses how the passage of laws that enable and even encourage drug use undermines the bourgeois values that contribute to a productive and healthy society. Howard notes that, far too often, government officials are followers of public trends rather than leaders who advocate for proven, constructive values.

BRN AM | Donor Advised Funds are the fastest growing option in charitable giving | Howard Husock, Executive Senior Fellow, Philanthropy Roundtable | Visit www.broadcastretirementnetwork.com
Donor-advised funds (DAF) have dominated philanthropy in any number of ways over the past decade, whether it's increasing charitable contributions, boosting assets, or simply garnering attention within the public square. That could be why it takes a super sized episode of Fresh Research tackle the topic. This episode diverges from the usual format; instead of one interview there are two interviews, each taking a side on the subject of DAFs and proposed reforms around charitable giving. The first segment will feature Ray Madoff, co-founder and director of the Boston College Law School Forum on Philanthropy and the Public Good. She's part of the Initiative to Accelerate Charitable Giving, a coalition of philanthropists, nonprofits and foundations pushing charitable reforms, including new rules around donor-advised funds. Since this episode was recorded, Madoff released a new paper with UC-San Diego Professor James Andreoni titled, Impact of the Rise of Commercial Donor-Advised Funds on the Charitable Landscape, 1991-2019. Among the findings was that even though “more funds are flowing into, and growing in, private foundations and DAFs, there's no evidence that charities have benefited from this trend.” In the second segment, Howard Husock, senior executive fellow at The Philanthropy Roundtable and adjunct fellow at American Enterprise Institute (AEI), talks about some of the shortcomings of the reforms proposed by IACG around DAFs and foundations. AEI hosted a similar discussion between Madoff and Husock during a recent virtual panel. You can find the link to the YouTube video here. Husock also touches on his recent paper for AEI, Appreciation in donor-advised funds: An analysis of major sponsors {48:55}. The report uses data from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the four largest commercial sponsors managing DAFs to get a sense of the magnitude of their asset appreciation over the past decade. During the discussion, Husock also notes a paper {51:56} by Dan Heist (“Understanding Donor-Advised Funds: How Grants Flow During Recessions,” with Danielle Vance-McMullen), which was the subject of a previous Fresh Research episode in 2019. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nonprofittimes/message
Donor-advised funds (DAF) have dominated philanthropy in any number of ways over the past decade, whether it’s increasing charitable contributions, boosting assets, or simply garnering attention within the public square. That could be why it takes a super sized episode of Fresh Research tackle the topic. This episode diverges from the usual format; instead of […]

In this episode: Last week, Major League Baseball announced it would move the All-Star Game from Atlanta to Denver in protest of Georgia election-administration legislation that would make the state’s voter access more liberal than the pre-COVID status quo; in the eyes of Democratic activist and former gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams—who, presaging the actions of another prominent Georgia election-loser of a different political party, never formally conceded the legitimacy of her defeat to Gov. Brian Kemp—this amounted to “Jim Crow Two,” so the game had to go. (For the record, Abrams denies encouraging a boycott.) Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred—previously best known as the architect of such crimes against the National Pastime as the universal designated hitter and starting extra innings with a runner on second base—is only the latest corporate figure to push a left-progressive social agenda from his perch as a 21st-century captain of industry; Big Philanthropy has long been a leftist bastion and Big Business has increasingly deferred to left-wing activists through Environmental, Social, and Governance—E S G—investing. Joining us to discuss the rise of “woke capitalism,” the centralization of “Big Philanthropy,” and what can be done about them, is Howard Husock, senior executive fellow of the Philanthropy Roundtable.

Givers, Doers, & Thinkers—A Podcast on Philanthropy and Civil Society
This week on Givers, Doers, & Thinkers, Jeremy speaks with Howard Husock.Howard is a Senior Executive Fellow for The Philanthropy Roundtable and an adjunct scholar in Domestic Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute. Previously, he was a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, where he served as vice president for research and publications from 2006-2019. He directed the Institute's Tocqueville Project, which includes the annual Civil Society Awards and the Civil Society Fellows Program. He is also the author of Who Killed Civil Society? The Rise of Big Government and Decline of Bourgeois Norms.Jeremy and Howard discuss the distinction between norms and material provisions—and why norms are more important for individual flourishing than provisions to scale societal impact. Howard points out that the strength of our civil society has ebbed as the breadth and character of our government have expanded. He emphasizes that he is not anti-government, but there are several things government does not do well that undermine civil society. When the government gets involved, it typically attempts to fix the problem instead of preventing the problem, which Howard sees as reformative rather than formative. Howard also shares wonderful stories of the unsung heroes who have strengthened American civil society in the past and most recently since the coronavirus pandemic. And he beautifully reminds us: “Civil society is its own reward.”During this week's practicalities segment, Jeremy chats with American Philanthropic managing consultant Scott Rubush about crafting persuasive messaging for your donors. The assumption that donors are primarily rational decision-makers, Scott explains, is debunked, and he'll have you reaching for some David Hume.You can find Givers, Doers, & Thinkers here at Philanthropy Daily, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts, Buzzsprout, and wherever you listen to podcasts.We'd love to hear your thoughts, ideas, questions, and recommendations for the podcast!

In this conversation, Dr. Bob talks with Howard Husock, author of the book "Who Killed Civil Society? The Rise of Big Government and Decline of Bourgeois Norms." They talk about many topics from Howard's book including how government can provide a financial safety net for citizens, but it cannot effectively create or promote healthy norms. Nor should it try.

Rev. Franklin Graham, president and CEO of Samaritan's Purse and son of the late evangelical leader Billy Graham, joins Howard Husock to discuss his organization's response to the coronavirus pandemic, the volunteers behind these efforts, and how secular Americans can better understand faith-inspired philanthropic work. In New York City's Central Park, Graham's disaster-relief organization set up a field hospital to treat patients overflowing from nearby Mount Sinai Hospital. Since the facility opened, its medical teams have treated more than 100 patients. Graham notes that he’s following in his grandfather’s footsteps, providing medical help not only in New York but also in China, where Samaritan’s Purse has donated supplies and personal protective equipment.

Howard Husock joins City Journal editor Brian Anderson to discuss Husock's new book, Who Killed Civil Society? The Rise of Big Government and Decline of Bourgeois Norms. Government-run social programs funded with tax dollars are thought to be the "solution" to America's social ills. But in his new book, Who Killed Civil Society?, Husock shows that historically, it was voluntary organizations and civic society, operating independently from government and its mandates, that best promoted the habits and values conducive to upward social mobility. Learn more about the Civil Society Awards and fellows program on the Manhattan Institute website.
City Journal contributing editor Christopher Rufo joins Brian Anderson to discuss an increasingly influential progressive faction in many cities—one that seeks to rebuild the urban environment to achieve a wide range of environmentalist and social-justice goals. According to Rufo, these "New Left urbanists" rally around controversial (and often dubious) ideas like banning cars and constructing new public housing projects. While all urban residents want to improve their city's quality-of-life, radical left-wing policies aren’t the way to get there. Check out Howard Husock's new book, Who Killed Civil Society?
