The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Jack McPherrin present episode 471 of the In The Tank Podcast. The last vestiges of the media's credibility are going up in smoke. From ghastly journalistic blunders to headlines that twist and turn like characters in a Hitchcock thriller, we’ll break down how the media seems to be taking an axe to its own reputation—Jack Torrance-style. Polls show public trust in the media is as low as the depths of Crystal Lake, and even Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon and owner of The Washington Post, recently penned a chilling op-ed on Americans' growing distrust. Join us as we venture into the haunted house of today’s media landscape—where truth and fiction blur and shadows lurk behind every headline."

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo present episode 470 of the In The Tank Podcast. When Elon Musk expressed interest in purchasing Twitter and making it a bastion for free speech, he simultaneously put a target on his back for the political elites. In a recent development, leaked documents appear to show advisors to the Kamala Harris campaign have plans to "kill Musk's Twitter." Elon Musk's response? "This is war." Also, has the media completely lost it? President Donald Trump's recent campaign stunt at McDonalds has exposed what can only be described as lunacy of the mainstream media.

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo present episode 469 of the In The Tank Podcast. Over this past week, we witnessed an engineering breakthrough from Elon Musk's SpaceX. The successful launch and recapture of the SpaceX Starship booster marks a pivotal moment in the future of space travel, showcasing advancements in reusability and cost efficiency. SpaceX is paving the way for a new era where space access becomes more routine and affordable, pushing the boundaries of what is possible beyond Earth's orbit. But remember, Elon Musk is frowned upon by the political elite. Instead of commemorating this occasion and encouraging this innovation, government bureaucrats have instead chosen to stifle Musk by denying his request for additional rocket launches. Also, we are another week closer to the election and it appears Kamala Harris is getting increasingly desperate.

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Justin Haskins present episode 468 of the In The Tank Podcast. As the election approaches, it appears as though the mainstream media industry is desperate to paint Kamala Harris in the best light possible. For example, it appears as though 60 Minutes selectively edited their interview with VP and presidential candidate Kamala Harris to make her come off in as good a light as possible. Simultaneously, the White House Press Secretary accused correspondent Peter Doocy of spreading misinformation for simply asking a question about the Biden Administration's handling of the response to Hurricane Helene. The ITT crew talks about all this and more on this week's episode.

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and H. Sterling Burnett present episode 466 of the In The Tank Podcast. Surprising news dropped earlier this week when Microsoft announced a partnership that would see the reopening of the 3-Mile Island Nuclear Plant. Despite the history of the plant suffering a partial nuclear meltdown back in 1979, Microsoft is so desperate for a source of reliable energy they are moving forward with this plan. What does this reveal about the state of big tech companies and their energy needs? What does this story show in regards to America's future energy composition?

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 464 of the In The Tank Podcast. This week, the ITT crew is discussing a handful of stories that revolve around some of the world's most authoritarian socialist rulers. From Brazilian President Lula going after Elon Musk and Twitter to North Korean Dictator Kim Jung Un purging government officials, it seems we are at a time when the world's socialists are desperately clinging to power. What common links can be found between these stories? And what do these events tell us about socialism in general?

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo present episode 463 of the In The Tank Podcast. Despite being the official Democratic Presidential candidate for several weeks, the campaign has been slow to reveal her official positions on many important issues. And lately, there have been statements on behalf of Vice President Harris suggesting she is no longer in favor of mandates for electric vehicles and that she is no longer in favor of banning hydraulic fracturing. With the lack of official policy platforms, how are voters supposed to know who is the real Kamala Harris?

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and S. T. Karnick present episode 461 of the In The Tank Podcast. The concept of free speech is once again under assault. The Europe Union's Digital Commissioner Thierry Breton wrote an open letter to X CEO Elon Musk warning him to stop the "amplification of harmful content." Meanwhile, authorities in the UK have been cracking down on so-called "hate speech" on social media, even going as far as threatening American citizens of extradition over supposed incitement of violence. Are any of these restrictions justifiable? Should free speech be absolute? The In The Tank crew discusses these topics and more.

The Heartland Institute’s Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, Justin Haskins, and S.T. Karnick present episode 459 of the In the Tank Podcast. Heartland recently commissioned some polls with our friends at Rasmussen Reports – together, among the only organizations doing serious polling research on election fraud. Our latest finding: No less than 62% of likely voters are concerned that cheating will affect the outcome of the 2024 election in November. And why might that be? Maybe because nearly 20% of those same voters said they received multiple ballots in the mail in 2020. Committing voter fraud has never been easier in America. It’s a national crisis few are brave enough to talk about, and fewer with the power to fix our elections are lifting a finger to stop.

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?

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Chris Talgo, and S.T. Karnick present episode 455 of the In The Tank Podcast. The national debt is currently closing in on $35 trillion. 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.

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo present episode 452 of the In The Tank Podcast. 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.
