The biggest questions facing America can’t wait.

Starting today, the conservative movement comes together to debate the ideas, challenges, and choices that will shape America’s future.

This is The Forum 2026.

Don’t be fooled: The Left can try to redefine it, but socialism is still socialism. @DrPaulKengor

“Do we not have sufficient universities to actually teach economically viable skill sets in this country? We have plenty of education in this country. We should be able to provide all of our internal high-skilled labor.”

@NickJFreitas joins the panel Building an Immigration System That Puts America First at #TheForum2026.

“If you have NGOs all over the country who are handing out the free phones and the food and the hotels, and the taxpayers are paying all this money, we’re not encouraging the basic American values of self-sufficiency and hard work. So if we take all that away and people can come in, the limited number we agree to, and work hard and earn the American Dream, just like we tell all of our children, that’s the way to get them into the conservative mindset.”

Rosemary Jenks joins the panel Building an Immigration System That Puts America First at #TheForum2026.

“Yes, immigrants have contributed to the United States, there’s no question of that. But let’s stop with this idea that anybody that comes from anywhere has given equal contribution to what the United States is as a country or a culture. It’s not true.”
