Keynote Speaker
Tom Basile
Author, Columnist, Speaker and Commentator
Tom Basile has been in the middle of the action on the biggest stories and hottest issues of the two last decades. His work in the worlds of politics, government, media and business have made him a powerful voice in our national conversation, and a sought-after lecturer and contributor in the media.
Former host of ‘Sunday in America’ on SiriusXM Radio and current Newsmax Columnist, his pieces are also frequently published by FoxNews.com. He was an opinion columnist for Forbes from 2012-2018. Basile’s insights into the national political scene, public policy and foreign affairs have earned him a reputation for credibility, candor and common sense.
In 2011, he was one of only two American conservatives featured as part of Time Magazine’s Person of the Year spread about citizen engagement around the world.
His critically-acclaimed book Tough Sell: Fighting the Media War in Iraq (Potomac, 2017), gives readers his personal account of the Iraq mission during the critical first year after the fall of Saddam Hussein and the daily battle to communicate about the war to an American public increasingly opposed to the mission. The book earned a foreword by National Security Advisor and former UN Ambassador John R. Bolton.
His latest book, Let it Sink In: The Decade of Obama and Trump (Empire Media Group, 2020) takes readers on a journey through the 2010s and provides new commentary and analysis to help defend American Freedom in the 2020s.
