The Heartland Institute and Rasmussen just completed another polling study—this one asking people how worried they are about AI and what should be done about it legislatively. To no one's surprise, people are worried and think the government has a responsibility to get ahead of it.We'll also cover the way people can fool even themselves with AI, how some are totally outsourcing their thinking to it, what effect that has (or seems to have), and what the mass expansion of AI is going to do to the economy—especially in terms of energy demand and white-collar jobs. The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, S.T. Karnick, and Donald Kendal will discuss all this and more on Episode #495 of the In the Tank Podcast.

The Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports released a new poll showing that 71% of Democrats support Elon Musk being IMPRISONED for his DOGE work. This insane position is held by 80% of self-reported "liberals" from the polling. The poll results were released the same day as this episode.This is sadly not very shocking, as we take a look at what leftist-dominated Reddit says about Elon in our Unhinged segment. We also discuss DOGE's work so far, including issues at the U.S. Treasury Department, and whether or not the pork uncovered by DOGE is actually being cut. It seems many representatives want the spending to keep on rolling along. The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and S.T.

Spend any time at all watching or reading the news, and you may notice an odd trend in the Democrat party-- they seem to be embracing policies more and more that totally alienate the "normies," people who hold generally average views on social and political issues. Democrats increasingly favor extreme positions, like defending gang members and embracing ideologies that would have been universally rejected just a few years ago. Where it may end is anyone's guess, we try to parse it out here.We also cover anti-gun activist David Hogg's potential expulsion from the DNC, how Trump Derangement Syndrome apparently was the deciding factor for many baby boomers in Canada,  and a look back on Trump's first hundred days as President, part deux.

Tariffs are the subject of heated debate not just between Democrats and Republicans, but within the spectrum of right wing economic thought as well. Trump has announced reciprocal tariffs for every country on the planet, in an attempt to end unfair trade imbalances across the board. Some countries have already started falling in line, the question is, what will the end result for American citizens be?The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and S.T. Karnick will discuss.

The 2024 election will go down in history as a radical and lasting political realignment in America on the right. The Republican Party of the 80s and 90s is gone, and with it the influence of past presidents and the thought leaders of the right. In their place is a new populism led by former Democrats who were driven out by radical leftists. But is this unusual coalition of former Democrats and populist writers and YouTube stars built to last?The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and S.T. Karnick will discuss. Plus, we will cover the Supreme Court ruling on “ghost guns,” the defunding of American Pravda (NPR and PBS), and more on Episode #489 of the In the Tank Podcast.SUPPORT THE SHOW: https://donate.heartland.org/campaign/594169/donate

Who actually runs this country? Voters asked for real change in November, and Donald Trump and his team are doing all they can to deliver it as quickly as possible. Yet federal judges use questionable authority to thwart it, keeping the Deep State status quo of unaccountable opposition to the people's will — which includes shoveling YOUR MONEY to their connected leftist cronies.Who is really in charge of the Executive Branch of the United States? The Constitution says it's the president, who was elected by all the people to direct the administrative state. The legacy media and even some conservative legal scholars say: “It's complicated.” Is it, really?On episode #488 of The Heartland Institute's In the Tank Podcast, host Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and S.T. Karnick discuss the escalating resistance to the restoration of a government that serves the people and its elected representatives, instead of the other way around.

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo present episode 487 of the In The Tank Podcast. Former ITT host Donald Kendal returns after only a few months and the world has gone insane. Suddenly, the left is burning the most popular electric vehicles while a Republican President promotes them in front of the White House. No, the world did not go insane, it was driven to insanity by an incredibly corrupt media system - a media system that has lied to us about virtually everything. We cover some more examples of this on this week's episode.Support the show! https://heartland.org/donate/

The FBI is investigating an alleged "honeypot" operation against the 2016 Trump campaign, in which Comey's FBI may have planted female agents to try to compromise Trump. It has been a tough week for our mainstream media elites—multiple MSM personalities were fired or retired, and Jake Tapper is pretending he wasn't involved in covering up Biden's obvious decline. Bezos cracks the whip on The Washington Post Opinion section writers, and the White House Correspondents' Association loses its special status as press pool wranglers.The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo will discuss all this and more on this episode of the In The Tank podcast.

The "experts" are still trying to rewrite the narrative on the government response to COVID, and one of President Trump's picks supports the questionable PRO Act. Meanwhile, VP Vance had strong words for the Orwellian language controls in Germany, and DOGE continues to uncover corrupt and wasteful government spending.The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo will discuss all of this and more on this episode of the In The Tank podcast.

It's an understatement to say that Donald Trump hit the ground running to start his interrupted second term. The speed and precision with which he has canceled nearly every achievement of the Biden nothing this country has ever seen before. It is simply breathtaking, and happening at such a frenetic pace it is difficult to keep up.The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo will do their best, though. Trump has issued hundreds of executive orders on all sorts of policy areas. On immigration, he closed the border, sent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) across America to round up and deport criminal illegal aliens, and even suggested he'll use Gitmo to house them until flights back to their country of origin can be arranged. And he also declared that the federal government will no longer put up with “sanctuary” cities and states harboring illegals.Trump froze all federal grants to assess whether they are worth continuing or canceling because they are wasteful or harmful to America. He demanded the federal workforce actually show up in the office again, or be fired or resign with severance. He's frozen all foreign aid to determine its wisdom. Trump has allowed America's energy sector to go full ahead again, and even fired the alarmist scientific advisory board at the EPA. What have we left out? Who can keep up? We will talk about what is nothing less than the most-transformative first 10 days a president has had in American history.

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo present episode 480 of the In The Tank Podcast. At the beginning of his inaugural address, President Donald Trump declared "The golden age of America begins right now." And within hours of this statement, Donald Trump began signing a series of executive orders, taking the first steps toward fulfilling this promise. On this week's episode, the ITT crew is taking a look at these executive orders and the promises made by Trump to help determine if we are back on track to once again achieve greatness in the United States of America.SHOW NOTES:TRUMP'S INAUGURATION White House - The Inaugural Addresshttps://www.whitehouse.gov/remarks/2025/01/the-inaugural-address/DAY 1 EXECUTIVE ORDERSNYT - Trump's Executive Orders: Reversing Biden's Policies and Attacking the 'Deep State'https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/20/us/politics/trump-executive-orders-list.htmlNYT - Trump Signs Orders to Promote Fossil Fuels and End Climate Policieshttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/20/climate/trump-emergency-oil-gas.htmlA TIME OF UNITY OR DIVISION?NBC News - Trump says his inaugural will be about unity.

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 476 of the In The Tank Podcast. As Donald Trump prepares to take office in 2025, President Joe Biden is riding out his last days in the Oval Office. But instead of just focusing on the orderly transfer of power, Biden seems like he may be trying to sabotage Trump's upcoming term before it can even start. Peculiar foreign policy decisions and increased spending that is contributing to increasing inflation rates is making us wonder if Biden is striving to make life under Trump as hard as possible. Also, the ITT crew talks about Biden's creepy misinformation programs and more.Is Biden Trying to Sabotage Trump?Fox News - Biden admin extends $10B Iran sanctions waiver 2 days after Trump election winhttps://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-admin-extends-10b-iran-sanctions-waiver-2-days-after-trump-election-winReuters - US Treasury transfers $20 billion in Ukraine loan funds to World Bank facilityhttps://www.reuters.com/world/europe/us-treasury-disburses-20-billion-ukraine-loan-funds-world-bank-facility-2024-12-10/AP News - Biden authorizes Ukraine to use US-supplied longer range missiles for deeper strikes inside Russiahttps://apnews.com/article/biden-ukraine-long-range-weapons-russia-52d424158182de2044ecc8bfcf011f9c  Inflation is Up AgainCNBC - Annual inflation rate accelerates to 2.7% in November, as expectedhttps://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/11/cpi-inflation-november-2024-annual-inflation-rate-accelerates-to-2point7percent-in-november-as-expected.htmlForbes - Rise In November Consumer Inflation Is Not Going To Stop Fed Rate Cutshttps://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonschenker/2024/12/11/rise-in-november-consumer-inflation-is-not-going-to-stop-fed-rate-cuts/  Biden's Creepy Misinformation ProgramsOpen The Books - Taxpayer Funded Censorship: How Government is Using Your Tax Dollars to Silence Your Voicehttps://openthebooks.substack.com/p/taxpayer-funded-censorship-how-governmentFox News - Biden spent millions on ‘misinformation' research.

Joe Biden pardoned Hunter, President-elect Trump continues to fill his cabinet, and a new analysis of the 2024 election shows that socialist candidates won a vast majority of their races.

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 472 of the In The Tank Podcast. Donald J. Trump has been elected as the 47th President of the United States. Trump's victory comes after a years long campaign by the media to paint the President-elect as a racist, sexist, fascist, second-coming of Hitler. The media's narrative failed as Trump looks to lock up the popular vote.

When Elon Musk expressed interest in purchasing Twitter and making it a bastion for free speech, he simultaneously put a target on his back for the political elites. In a recent development, leaked documents appear to show advisors to the Kamala Harris campaign have plans to "kill Musk's Twitter." Elon Musk's response? "This is war."

Over this past week, we witnessed an engineering breakthrough from Elon Musk's SpaceX. The successful launch and recapture of the SpaceX Starship booster marks a pivotal moment in the future of space travel, showcasing advancements in reusability and cost efficiency. SpaceX is paving the way for a new era where space access becomes more routine and affordable, pushing the boundaries of what is possible beyond Earth's orbit. But remember, Elon Musk is frowned upon by the political elite. Instead of commemorating this occasion and encouraging this innovation, government bureaucrats have instead chosen to stifle Musk by denying his request for additional rocket launches.

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and H. Sterling Burnett present episode 466 of the In The Tank Podcast. Surprising news dropped earlier this week when Microsoft announced a partnership that would see the reopening of the 3-Mile Island Nuclear Plant.

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo present episode 465 of the In The Tank Podcast. We are back after taking a week off while preparing for Heartland's 40th Anniversary Benefit Dinner and we have a lot of news to cover.

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 464 of the In The Tank Podcast. This week, the ITT crew is discussing a handful of stories that revolve around some of the world's most authoritarian socialist rulers. From Brazilian President Lula going after Elon Musk and Twitter to North Korean Dictator Kim Jung Un purging government officials, it seems we are at a time when the world's socialists are desperately clinging to power.

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 463 of the In The Tank Podcast. Despite being the official Democratic Presidential candidate for several weeks, the campaign has been slow to reveal her official positions on many important issues. And lately, there have been statements on behalf of Vice President Harris suggesting she is no longer in favor of mandates for electric vehicles and that she is no longer in favor of banning hydraulic fracturing.

Over the past few weeks, Vice President and presidential candidate Kamala Harris has outlined a number of economic policy proposals her potential administration would enact. Some of these policies include price controls, subsidies for first-time-homebuyers, increases to the corporate income tax, and increases to the capital gains tax.

The Heartland Institute's Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, Justin Haskins, and S.T. Karnick present episode 459 of the In the Tank Podcast. Heartland recently commissioned some polls with our friends at Rasmussen Reports – together, among the only organizations doing serious polling research on election fraud. Our latest finding: No less than 62% of likely voters are concerned that cheating will affect the outcome of the 2024 election in November. And why might that be? Maybe because nearly 20% of those same voters said they received multiple ballots in the mail in 2020. Committing voter fraud has never been easier in America. It's a national crisis few are brave enough to talk about, and fewer with the power to fix our elections are lifting a finger to stop.PRIMARY TOPIC – WORRIED ABOUT ELECTION CHEATING New Poll Shows Americans Are Very Worried about Election Integrityhttps://heartland.org/opinion/new-poll-shows-americans-are-very-worried-about-election-integrity/ Heartland/Rasmussen Poll: Large Majority of Voters (62%) Are Concerned Cheating Will Impact 2024 Electionhttps://heartland.org/opinion/heartland-rasmussen-poll-large-majority-of-voters-62-are-concerned-cheating-will-impact-2024-election/ Heartland/Rasmussen Poll: One-in-Five Mail-In Voters Admit to Committing at Least One Kind of Voter Fraud During 2020 Electionhttps://heartland.org/opinion/heartland-rasmussen-poll-one-in-five-mail-in-voters-admit-to-committing-at-least-one-kind-of-voter-fraud-during-2020-election/ Heartland Institute Poll Shows Nearly Three in 10 Voters Would Vote Illegally in 2024 Presidential Electionhttps://heartland.org/opinion/heartland-institute-poll-shows-nearly-three-in-10-voters-would-vote-illegally-in-2024-presidential-election/ Exclusive: 2024 Georgia Election Poised To Explode Thanks To Secretary Of State's Inactionhttps://thefederalist.com/2024/08/01/exclusive-2024-georgia-election-poised-to-explode-thanks-to-secretary-of-states-inaction/?

We are now two weeks removed from what might go down in history as the worst performance in a presidential debate of all time, and the story continues to garner massive mainstream attention.

The Study is out from The Heartland Institute and it shows that President Trump most certainly won the 2020 election. Chris Talgo of the Heartland Institute joins us to discuss this story. It is astonishing the amount of fraud that occurred. According to this study, the number of fraudulently mailed ballots were 28.2%.

We talk to Chris about why this matters and the details of the report. What does God's Word say? Proverbs 28:6 Better the poor whose walk is blameless than the rich whose ways are perverse.Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”Luke 12:2-5 2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. 3 What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.4 “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.Episode 1,405 Links:WHO REALLY WON THE 2020 ELECTION?
