  1. Unlearning Climate Alarmism – The Climate Realism Show #191

    Unlearning Climate Alarmism – The Climate Realism Show #191

    An encouraging trend is growing. Bright young people who were convinced of the truth of climate alarmist dogma open their eyes and mind to the actual data on the climate. Then they become climate realists, and even evangelists for science and truth. Anika Sweetland is one of those people. She is a former energy advisor with a degree in climate studies who gave an address on her awakening at Heartland's World Prosperity Forum last month. And she's one of the UK's best public opponents of that country's Net Zero policy and keeps a keen eye on the climate communism of the European Union. Anika joins us to talk about her journey, and also comment on some of the Crazy Climate News of the week, including a proposal to chop down boreal forests in the far north and throw the wood into the Arctic Ocean, how stupid and counterproductive California’s aversion to oil refining really is, and how the European Union may be poised to make countering the climate alarmist narrative illegal.

  2. Socialism In Our Schools — In The Tank Podcast #527

    Socialism In Our Schools — In The Tank Podcast #527

    New York City is struggling with its budget, and despite Mayor Mamdani campaigning on affordable housing, he’s now turning to property tax hikes to try to close the gap. This is fairly typical for Democrats—and totally unsurprising. Meanwhile, Trump struck a deal with Japan that looks poised to sidestep China while also boosting American energy abundance. We’ll also cover socialism in our schools—how bad it really is—and how to counter it. And on UNHINGED: the Obama Presidential Center, scheduled to open this spring, is astonishingly ugly—and fitting for the Obama legacy. The Heartland Institute’s Linnea Lueken, S.T. Karnick, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo will talk about all of this and more on Episode #526 of the In The Tank Podcast. Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook.

  3. The Endangerment Finding Is Dead. Here’s Why It Matters — The Climate Realism Show #190

    The Endangerment Finding Is Dead. Here’s Why It Matters — The Climate Realism Show #190

    It’s finally done. The Trump administration on Thursday announced that the Endangerment Finding for carbon dioxide is dead. No longer will the federal government treat CO2 as a gas that harms human health and welfare. It has been the lynchpin of regulatory overreach for nearly two decades, morphing into a way for the Biden administration to all but outlaw the internal combustion engine. President Trump said the Endangerment Finding has cost the U.S. economy more than $1 trillion, and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said the repeal will make the annoying “auto off” switch in new automobiles no longer mandatory. Does the end of the Endangerment Finding mean the death of the climate hoax? How significant is this move, really, if it doesn’t directly address CO2 emissions from coal and natural gas power plants? Will it survive a court challenge? What more must be done to restore science and common sense to public policy? The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and special guest Lois Perry will tackle this subject, plus other Crazy Climate News of the Week.

  4. The Next Big Crash — In the Tank Podcast #526

    The Next Big Crash — In the Tank Podcast #526

    Justin Haskins joins us to talk about his and Jack McPherrin's new book, "The Next Big Crash," covering the shady dealings of Wall Street insiders and elites who have conspired to rig our economy and transfer control over our futures to massive financial interests. When the next crash comes, it could very well be more devastating than any before. On a brighter note, federal employment is at the lowest level it has been since 1966, showing that the Trump administration really has made progress on cutting federal bloat, while American private sector jobs are improving. Meanwhile, the SAVE America Act may be passed soon, but Democrats say it will disenfranchise voters by requiring them to simply have ID. On UNHINGED: How would you feel about living in a constant, ubiquitous surveillance state? Ring is more than happy to provide, but promises it will only be used for finding lost dogs. The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, S.T. Karnick, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and guest Justin Haskins will talk about all of this and more on Episode #526 of the In The Tank Podcast.

    Zombie Carbon Taxes – The Climate Realism Show #189

    The election of Donald Trump in 2024 looked like it brought an end to the previous administration’s radical environmental policies. America walked out on the global climate scammers, canceled green energy projects, and is still trying to claw back billions of dollars shoveled out the door to Democrat-linked groups in the waning days of the Biden administration. But one of the worst environmental policies of all, like a zombie, is still wandering around Washington. A spending bill that passed the Senate recently included a provision directing the Department of Energy to review the “carbon intensity” of American-made products and compare the CO₂ emissions with similar products imported to the United States. Such provisions are how carbon taxes, or even carbon tariffs, come to life. What’s going on here? And can this be stopped? The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will tackle this subject, plus other Crazy Climate News of the Week.

    They’re Dumbing Down NYC Schools… On Purpose — In the Tank Podcast #525

    This week, Bitcoin is DOWN, but does that mean anything to those of us who don't own it? Some argue that it indicates the dollar is strengthening, which is good news for affordability. AND the Washington Post has laid off a third of their staff, journalists are unemployed all over the place, and it could mean the beginning of the end for the far-left publication. Finally school is out... all the time, it seems, because students seem to be missing class for protests, snow weeks, all kinds of things that aren't school. In New York City, Mamdani's government is focusing on removing programs for high-achievers, and refocusing on "green" initiatives. For UNHINGED: Kathy Griffin is at it again, this time she is angry that First Lady Melania Trump's documentary is doing well, and recommends you turn in your pesky MAGA neighbors. The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, S.T. Karnick, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo will talk about all of this and more on Episode #525 of the In The Tank Podcast.

    The Persistence of the Ideological Lie (Guest: Daniel J. Mahoney)

    Heartland’s Tim Benson is joined once again by Daniel J. Mahoney, professor emeritus at Assumption University and senior fellow at the Claremont Institute for the Study of Statesmanship and Political Philosophy, to discuss his latest book, The Persistence of the Ideological Lie: The Totalitarian Impulse Then and Now. They chat about what is the “Ideological Lie,” how the totalitarians from the Jacobins onward have relied on it, and how our failure to learn from the totalitarian tragedy of the twentieth century allowed the ideological virus to metastasize in new and alarming ways.

    Heartland Invades Davos — In the Tank Podcast #524

    The scale of fraud in federal entitlement programs is truly staggering with some estimates reaching into the TRILLIONS, and we have to ask, who can be held accountable for all this? Fresh off the plane home from Switzerland, Linnea, Donald, and Jim discuss the Heartland Institute's inaugural WORLD PROSPERITY FORUM, the antidote to the globalism of the World Economic Forum held at Davos every year... which Linnea and Donald may or may not have also gone to visit while in Europe. And on UNHINGED: An insane viral video of a nurse shows her instructing "resistors" on how to harm ICE agents. How did we even get to this point? And why on Earth are there so many videos like this? The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, S.T. Karnick, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and Donald Kendal will talk about all of this and more on Episode #524 of the In The Tank Podcast.
