Budget and Tax News Podcast The Heartland Institute

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg did what the left has wanted for years, served Trump with an indictment. Under what charges? Bragg’s case states that Trump’s payment to Stormy Daniels in exchange for signing a non-disclosure agreement violated campaign financing laws, a flimsy argument at best.
Chris Talgo, editorial director at The Heartland Institute, joins The Kristian Garic Show to discuss the indictment and what Americans can expect going forwards.

 The other day, Heartland Vice President Jim Lakely was a guest on The Mark Reardon Show on 97.1 FM Talk in St. Louis. I was invited on the show to talk about the collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank and how much woke politics had to do with it.
That bank and our federal regulators were a lot more interested in advancing left wing political goals, such as donating to Black Lives Matter, seeking investment equity, and fighting for "climate justice" -- whatever that is -- than it was hiring a risk assessment officer. Silicon Valley Bank had a Diversity Equity and Inclusion executive, but not a risk assessment officer for the last three quarters before it collapsed. So how much did woke politics have to do with it? Listen to this brief clip and find out.
I was invited on the program because of this piece on Heartland.org, which was a rough transcript of something I said on Heartland's weekly In the Tank Podcast.

 At The Heartland Institute's 15th International Conference on Climate Change on February 25, 2023, U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado gave a keynote address. She spoke about the concessions a group of 20 conservatives, including her, got from House Speaker Kevin McCarthy before they would put him in that post. She also talked about how she fights for sensible policy from her perch on the House Resources Committee and the other freedom-oriented policies she fights for in the House of Representatives.

In his book, "In Defense of the 2nd Amendment," Larry Correia offers a powerful and easily understandable explanation of the positive impact firearms have on our lives.

Cities across the nation are in financial reason for a plethora of reasons under a singular umbrella. Author Mark Moses joins the show to discuss the core issue.

H. Sterling Burnett joins the podcast The District with Teresa Mull to discuss the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act. Burnett highlights how this bill is simply a renamed version of the Build Back Better plan. Biden and Congressional Democrats are taking advantage of the pain that Americans are feeling due to inflation their own progressive policies created. They truly didn’t let this crisis go to waste.
