Heartland Daily Podcast The Heartland Institute

On episode 111 of The Climate Realism Show, we review many of the eco policies that amount to Biden's war on homeowners and the citizenry for the sake of "saving the planet" from climate change.We'll be discussing the Biden power plant rule, auto emissions rule, new ESA restrictions in Texas for a lizard, appliance rules, and more. The rules restricting gas stove and light bulbs and others supposedly to prevent so-called climate catastrophes affect our everyday choices and lives.
Joining us is Marlo Lewis, Jr. who is a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. Lewis writes on global warming, energy policy, and public policy issues and will comment of the onslaught by Biden which appears geared to meet the 180 day deadline for such things before the November election.
Join host Anthony Watts, the Heartland Institute’s H. Sterling Burnett, and Marlo Lewis for the big list of FAIL. And, as always, we have the Crazy Climate News of the Week. Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET (12 p.m. CT) for the kind of climate realism you can’t find anywhere else, and join the chat to get your questions answered, too.

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 450 of the In The Tank Podcast. World Economic Forum's CEO Klaus Schwab just announced he will be stepping down from his role as "Davos Man." What does this mean for the organization? Who is likely to take over control of the WEF? Also, an anti-CBDC bill is gaining traction in Congress. Will this potential legislation possibly put an end to the quest to establish a central bank digital currency in the United States?

On May 16, Heartland Editorial Director Chris Talgo appeared on Steve Bannon's War Room to discuss his recent op-ed in The Hill detailing how President Biden's economic policies are harming the vast majority of Americans.

In his new co-authored anthology, Climate and Energy: The Case for Realism, climatologist David Legates gathers assembles some of the best scientists, economists and analysts on climate change today to stake out a middle ground between extreme climate alarm, and the other extreme of people claiming climate change is a hoax. Climate change is happening, people are having localized effects, but it poses no existential threat to civilization of existence.

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 449 of the In The Tank Podcast. Is Populism a threat to Democracy? U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi believes so. Pelosi recently took part in an Oxford Union debate on this very subject where she made the case that populism has become synonymous with ethnonationalism and right-wing extremism. Arguing against this position was Winston Marshall, a former member of the musical group, Mumford & Sons. What role does Populism play in American politics? Is it something that should be embraced or rejected by pro-liberty advocates?
