    Nepal Disaster - The Climate Realism Show #214

    The scenes coming out of Nepal of the glacier collapse and flash flood of mud, ice, and water are horrifying. The amount of devastation is almost hard to fathom, and the landscape is changed forever. Mainstream media outlets are blaming the disaster on climate change, and pointing to human activity warming the globe as the top cause. We will expose the truth. On Episode 214 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Sterling Burnett, Jim Lakely, and special guests Craig Rucker of CFACT and Marlo Lewis will also cover some other Crazy Climate News of the Week. Psychology Today says global warming causes child abuse. The White House is ditching climate doom. And are even the green weenies of Europe giving up climate as a political issue?

    What The Flock?! - In The Tank #549

    One of the biggest tech-related debates right now, which also overlaps with concerns about privacy rights and government overreach, is over new Flock camera systems being used on public and private property. These camera systems are interconnected, in part so police departments can more easily coordinate between jurisdictions to solve crimes... but at what cost? Supporters say it's worth it to stop crime, opponents say it's an invasion of privacy and expansion of the surveillance state. The panel discusses how much is too much, and whether regulations already exist to limit public surveillance. On the other hand, good news! Americans' right to bear arms might soon be restored by a few degrees following the results of a court ruling which said that certain National Firearms Act requirements are unconstitutional and should be void. This might mean that soon, buying suppressors and short barreled rifles, among other NFA regulated devices, may become a lot easier. For UNHINGED: Karen Bass fell for a fake poll's results, which ended up being some kind of weird social experiment. And for America @ 250 - This week in 1776, the invasion of New York City begins. The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and S.T. Karnick, will talk about all of this and more on Episode #549 of the In The Tank Podcast.

    The Climate Regulations Driving Up Costs Across America

    California may be only one state, but are its climate regulations effectively becoming national policy? In Episode #212 of The Climate Realism Show, host Andy Singer is joined by Linnea Lueken, Anthony Watts, and H. Sterling Burnett to break down how California’s climate and environmental regulations can affect consumers, businesses, and supply chains far beyond the state’s borders. The main story examines California rules targeting ships docked at the state’s massive ports, along with vehicle and equipment regulations that critics argue function as a “hidden climate tax” on Americans nationwide. With California ports handling a huge share of U.S. imports and the state’s enormous market influencing what manufacturers produce, how much power should one state have to shape the national economy? The panel also digs into several other major climate and energy stories: 🍔 Drive-Thru Climate Ban: Culver City is considering restrictions on new drive-through restaurants, with greenhouse-gas emissions, vehicle idling, air quality, and pedestrian-oriented development among the reasons cited. Is blocking new drive-throughs meaningful climate policy, or regulatory overreach? ⚖️ Climate Chapter Pulled: The National Academies of Sciences temporarily removed a climate-science chapter from the Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence while reviewing concerns about how the chapter was developed and potential conflicts involving people connected to climate litigation. 🔥 Solar Fire Surge: UK fire-service data show incidents involving solar-panel systems increased sharply between 2022 and 2025, significantly faster than the growth in installations. Are subsidies and aggressive deployment targets outpacing installation quality, inspections, and fire-safety standards? 🚢 California’s National Reach: From cargo ships and port infrastructure to cars, engines, and equipment, the panel examines whether California is simply exercising authority granted under federal law or using its economic power to impose de facto national regulations without a national vote.

    Why Socialism Fails - In The Tank #548

    Conservatives often point at socialism and more or less leave the argument at "these guys are crazy!" -- But the DSA do point to some real problems, like the cost of medical care, how big companies can run roughshod over ordinary Americans, and that public infrastructure is failing in our cities as well as rural communities. But socialist solutions from Medicare for All to eating the rich will only exacerbate those problems, not solve them. We talk about actual solutions, and why socialism fails. Meanwhile, inflation is falling, which is good, but how long can it last? What should the government do (if anything) to keep inflation down? On UNHINGED: DSA leadership really does hate America, from its very foundation. And for America @ 250, we look at how the London newspapers reacted to the Declaration, and we'll see that politically-driven fake news is not a modern phenomenon. The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Chris Talgo, and S.T. Karnick, will talk about all of this and more on Episode #548 of the In The Tank Podcast.

    Climate Scientist Fired. Was It For Countering the Narrative? — The Climate Realism Show #210

    One of Denmark’s most internationally recognized climate researchers, Dr. Henrik Svensmark, was just sacked from his long-time position at the Technical University of Denmark. Unlike many climate scientists, Svensmark conducted actual science experiments, and his work on the effects cosmic rays and clouds have on the climate was leading edge. He was fired after years of moves that look like they were purposely trying to push him out. What happened? Is it because his work didn’t support the alarmist climate narrative? We will have Dr. Svensmark on the program to get the story directly from him. On Episode 210 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Sterling Burnett, Jim Lakely and Henrik Svensmark will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week. Is climate change ruining summers for kids? Can wind farms help real farms? Is the best way to fight Net Zero through comedy? Join us Friday at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook.

    I Am The Science! Fauci Lied, People Died - In The Tank #547

    Anthony Fauci was recently hauled before the Senate to explain his role in the COVID 19 pandemic, and the multitude of lies he told as head of the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and advisor to the president. He pleaded the fifth more than 100 times during the hearing, refusing to answer pointed questions. Next steps are as unclear as his tenure, his reasoning for seeming to protect China has been left unstated, and the scale of his corruption is hard to quantify. Meanwhile, the FCC has delivered a blow to China's AI and robotics industry by BANNING Chinese-made advanced robotics. On UNHINGED: Mamdani suggests that cash reparations might be doled out over slavery. Somehow. And for America @ 250, with all the drama surrounding Fauci, we're going to take a look at disease and epidemiology during the Revolution. The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo will talk about all of this and more on Episode #546 of the In The Tank Podcast.
