The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and S. T. Karnick present episode 457 of the In The Tank Podcast. Saturday July 13th, 2024 is a day that will go down in history. An attempted assassination of Donald Trump sent shock waves around the world. The In The Tank crew talks about the swirling news, trying to make sense of what is going on in this country. From the failure of the Secret Service to the reactions from the media and partisan commentators, there is no shortage of things to discuss. Also, the ITT crew speculates about Trump's upcoming speech he will be giving at the RNC.

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 456 of the In The Tank Podcast. We are now two weeks removed from what might go down in history as the worst performance in a presidential debate of all time, and the story continues to garner massive mainstream attention. President Biden's horrible performance on the debate stage has resulted in a tidal wave of criticism and calls to step aside by many of the most influential people on the left. This is unprecedented. How is this going to play out? Will Biden step aside? How will this impact the rapidly approaching presidential election?

Even more alarming, the cost of maintaining that debt is approaching $1 trillion annually - this is just the interest payment on the debt! Is this sustainable? Also, how long will the dollar remain the king currency when we pursue such reckless monetary and fiscal policy?

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal and Justin Haskins present episode 454 of the In The Tank Podcast. The climate alarmist narrative is one underpinned by varying groups with specific special interests. There are the politicians who use climate alarm to justify enhanced powers, there are the businesses and firms that use climate alarm to pad their bottom lines, there are the activists that use climate alarm to gain clout, and there are the those that use climate alarm to justify an anti-humanist agenda. While all these groups help prop up the same climate narrative, they all are doing so for different reasons. On this week's episode, we are going to take a look at that last group on the list - the anti-humanists.

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haksins, and Chris Talgo present episode 453 of the In The Tank Podcast. The European Union recently passed a law that would essentially mandate many of the guidelines and metrics of the ESG scheme we have talked much about on this show. You might ask, "Who cares about Europe?" Unfortunately, the way this Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive is written, it has the potential to fundamentally transform the way businesses around the world operate. It is imperative we get this message out to the public and to lawmakers to protect America from this dangerous law.

In the hours after our show ended last week, the verdicts began rolling in for former President Donald Trump's "hush money" case - 34 convictions. We are truly in unprecedented territory. What does this mean for Trump? What does this mean for the election? And most importantly, what does this mean for America? Also, a new report was released that shines even more light on the Covid lab leak theory and the role the United States played in funding that research.

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo are joined by energy expert Robert Bryce to present episode 451 of the In The Tank Podcast. The technologies and innovations of the future require cheap, reliable, and abundant energy. Climate alarmism hamstrings our society by restricting our use of fossil fuels, only allowing the use of expensive and unreliable energy sources like wind and solar. We talk with Robert Bryce to explore the future of energy in the United States.
