The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 421 of the In The Tank Podcast. The New York Times' recent admission that they "relied too heavily on claims by Hamas" in regards to the Gaza hospital bombing is telling. It further reveals how broken our media system is. Worse, however, is the effect our media is having on social cohesion, leading to a fragmentation of society. This is contributing to a reality where the left and right are living in increasingly distant universes where common ground is exceedingly hard to find. What does this mean for our country and are there any solutions to the problem?

If Donald Trump wins the presidency, just 13 short months from now, the left will take to the streets and set America on fire. In fact, they were poised to do so in 2020, but followed orders to stand down. And the Deep State, already working to ensure he can't win, will take even more-dangerous steps to stop Trump before and after the election.

In this clip from the September 28, 2023 episode of The Heartland Institute's In the Tank podcast, Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, Justin Haskins, and Samantha Fillmore discuss whether this is an overly pessimistic take on the scenario. Or, just maybe, it's too optimistic.

In this clip from the August 24, 2023 episode of The Heartland Institute's In the Tank podcast, Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and Justin Haskins share their observations on why the first GOP debate of the 2024 election cycles is the worst they have ever seen.

From the questions framed from the perspective of the left, to ignoring the issues voters actually care about, to giving the disastrous Biden administration a free pass, to how the moderators lost complete control, this was the worst GOP debate ever.

In what world is asking to observe the auditing of the ballots in Georgia a criminal act? In what world is asking your supporters to watch coverage of a hearing on the election a criminal act? In America today, apparently, those are crimes. Trump and his team were indicted for these "overt acts in furtherance of the conspiracy" to challenge the results of the 2020 election. And by that new standard of justice, a lot of Democrats are in big trouble -- including Hillary Clinton and "fake Georgia governor" Stacey Abrams.

In this clip from the August 17, 2023 episode of The Heartland Institute's In the Tank podcast, Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and Linnea Lueken discuss the absurd indictment of Trump and his aides in Georgia. Lakely explains that in a country with a fair and functional justice system, one is not charged with crimes for following the Constitution and historical precedent to challenge the results of a close election.

Remember when a group of celebrities urged members of the Electoral College to overturn the results of the 2016 election? We do. Sounds a bit "insurrectiony." But not only was that no big deal, no one suggested that defying the will of the people and the results of the election was a threat to our very system of government. These celebrities didn't just want to slow the process down and investigate accusations of election irregularities, they wanted to straight-up install someone else -- anyone else --- as president than the winner of the election, Donald Trump.

In this clip from the August 3, 2023 In the Tank podcast on our Stopping Socialism TV channel, The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Linnea Lueken remember those crazy times, and wonder why that was not also an "insurrection."

Can the climate catastrophists get any crazier? Old and cold: The hottest July in the last 120,000 years. New and hot: The era of global warming has ended, and the era of global boiling has begun."

Heartland Institute President James Taylor was a guest of the great Tony Katz debunking these ridiculous claims that are causing real mental damage to those who are conditioned to trust their "superiors" in media and in government.

United Nations Secretary General António Guterres recently stated this: "Climate change is here, it is terrifying, and it's only the beginning. The era of global warming has ended, and the era of global boiling has begun."

This dystopian obsession with depopulating the earth goes back to the dawn of the Progressive Era in the early 20th century and its racist roots.

New rules from the Biden administration's Department of Energy will make most of the ordinary appliances in your home contraband. Thanks to useless, expensive, and unnecessary new energy efficiency standards, your washing machine will work harder and not get your clothes as clean, your dishwasher will not get your dishes as clean, and your refrigerator will not perform as you expect. And your gas stove? Hold on to it and find a good repairman. Those are on the outs, too.

The Biden administration says these new rules will save you money (it won't) and save the planet (it won't). This government sees absolutely no limits on its desire to run every aspect of our lives, no matter how small.

Here's the story I'm commenting on:

This week's In the Tank Podcast by The Heartland Institute featured special guest Joe Biden* who finally answered questions about the criminal charges brought against his son, the FBI possessing recordings of discussions about the Biden Family receiving $10 million in bribes, and even the granddaughter he doesn't acknowledge exists.

(*It's up to you to decide whether AI Joe Biden and the real Joe Biden makes more sense speaking off the cuff.)

Meteorologist and Heartland Institute Senior Fellow Anthony Watts was on the Ingraham Angle on Fox News the other day to explain to her audience that the wildfires in Canada are perfectly normal, natural, and not made worse by climate change. In fact, the trend for wildfires across North America has been on the decline for more than a century.

Watts also explains how the U.S. government (NOAA) is juicing the temperature data to make it appear the earth is dangerously warming when, in fact, the weather stations are increasingly surrounded by urban heat islands. Bottom line: The U.S. temperature data is corrupt.

Every Earth Day, the media run annoying stories about how the young people of the world need to get the grown-ups in their lives educated about the climate and the need to take action. The world's youth have been brainwashed into believing that human activity is leading to a climate catastrophe, and we have to radically change our ways if we're going to save the planet.
Here's a better idea: Grown-ups can impart their knowledge and wisdom in the other direction. Doing all these "little things to save the planet" is not really going to amount to much, and is not the end goal of the climate cult, anyway. They have much bigger plans in mind.

In this clip from the April 13, 2023 In the Tank Podcast on our Stopping Socialism TV channel, The Heartland Institute's Jim Lakely, Linnea Lueken, and Chris Talgo discuss President Biden's mad push to go "all electric" in our vehicles and everything else. We back up Linnea's statement that "all electric = death." Our power grid simply can't handle plugging in all the EVs the Biden administration is mandating. And it will only get worse as we abandon reliable energy sources and replace them with wind, solar, and other unreliable and expensive "renewables."

AFP did a "fact check" on The Heartland Institute's Climate at a Glance book, which we mailed to 8,000 teachers across the country in February. Their fact checks are not actually fact checks. They are opinions and projections. That's because Climate at a Glance is based on the latest climate data, not garbage computer models and alarmism. The reason AFP had to "fact check" a book that was distributed two months ago is because it is obviously breaking the alarmist narrative ... and our media cannot let that happen.

In episode 57 of Climate Change Roundtable, host Anthony Watts is joined by expert weekly panelists H. Sterling Burnett and Linnea Lueken to uncover the hidden costs of the “green” energy transition, including the shocking reality of child and slave labor in the mining of essential minerals for wind, solar, and battery facilities. This week’s episode will highlight the shifting priorities of the U.S. in its fight against climate change, and examine whether human rights have been sidelined.

Set a reminder and tune in to join the conversation as we confront the ethical dilemmas of green energy and questions whether the push for renewables is truly as clean and just as it seems.

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 390 of the In The Tank Podcast. We are waiting on Trump's arrest and we have some things to say about it. Also, you may have heard a bit about a potential "Central Bank Backed Digital Currency," or a digital dollar. The ITT crew talks about this, the potential of this development, and the seemingly preemptive actions taken by conservative politicians like Kristi Noem, Ron DeSantis, and Ted Cruz.

Earlier this week, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its AR6 climate change report. Expectedly, the report is defined by serial doomcasting and claims of impending catastrophe despite the growing mountain of failed predictions that are conveniently ignored.

One of the most controversial claims made in the report is that anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) is the main driver of temperature change. Real-world data has proven this false, yet it’s the main takeaway in each IPCC report.

First released on Monday was the “Summary for Policymakers,” a section intended to guide policymaking decisions across the globe. The AR6 report continues to omit key information in favor of sensationalized claims that are easily refuted. For example, the 36-page summary doesn’t include a single mention of the logarithmic relationship between atmospheric CO2 concentrations and global temperature. Surely, policymakers should know that each unit of CO2 added to the atmosphere has a decreasing effect on temperature. The IPCC’s omission of this relationship implies that the warming effect of CO2 concentrations is linear, leading policymakers to overestimate the impact of CO2 emissions on global temperature and overcommit to emissions reduction strategies that are expensive and ineffective.

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 387 of the In The Tank Podcast.

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 380 of the In The Tank Podcast. The Biden administration announced this week that it was considering a ban on gas stoves, supposedly because it causes asthma in kids – a claim not backed up by science.

They are trying to walk back from this infuriating government overreach, but the In the Tank crew won’t let them because it’s part of a tyrannical pattern by our ruling elite. For instance, New York governor Kathy Hochul also announced she wants to ban all appliances, including stoves furnaces, that burn fossil fuels. This is not about safety, but about forcing us to go “all electric” for EVERYTHING as soon as possible to “fight climate change.” It’s absolutely insane and must be stopped.

The ITT crew will also talk about how the chairman of the Federal Reserve announced the Fed will not be a “climate policymaker,” a rare sensible statement from a position of great power that has the climate cultists enraged. We’ll also cover how YouTube shut down The Heartland Institute’s main channel just before we went live with a prominent climate realist scientist. We will also remember another great scientist and climate realist – our friend, Dr. Jay Lehr – who sadly passed away this week.

THIS LIVE-STREAM WAS BANNED BY YOUTUBE: The estimable Dr. Judith Curry joins The Heartland Institute's Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, and Linnea Lueken to discuss "Climate Goals vs. Human Well-Being" on the next episode of Climate Change Roundtable. You don't want to miss your opportunity to listen to this GIANT of the climate science community talk about what is really happening to the climate, and why the alarmism fueling the "solutions" to climate change are going to make life worse for everyone on the planet.

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 379 of the In The Tank Podcast. With the start of a new year, climate alarmism has been given center stage. 60 Minutes recently ran a segment about the looming population doomsday. The segment, featuring noted doomsayer Paul Ehrlich, promoted dire warnings like "humanity is unsustainable," and how we are "in the midst of sixth mass extinction." Also, the UN convened a conference on biodiversity a few weeks ago where world leaders agreed to a bunch of principles which could have major implications.
