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. Join us as we also discuss the staff purges at various U.S. health agencies, Tim Walz' weird Marxist comic book, the house arrest of Marine Le Pen, and more on Episode #490 of the In the Tank Podcast.

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.

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.

The Heartland Institute's Tim Benson wrote a paper analyzing the money funneled to green groups through the Inflation Reduction Act, where everything predictably cost way more than our government claimed. The Supreme Court decided that a district judge could tell the President when and how to pay USAID contractors, and Canada retaliates against Trump's tariffs. The President gave his first address to Congress, to the surprise of no one, the Democrats hated it.

The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, Sam Karnick, and Tim Benson will discuss all of this and more on this episode of the In The Tank podcast.

Today In The Tank crosses over with the Climate Realism Show, to take a look at what it means that EPA director Lee Zeldin is proposing to jettison the greenhouse gas "Endangerment Finding," which the EPA has used to levy piles of regulations on American businesses, the power grid, and individuals. Would this be a death blow to the green movement?

The Heartland Institute’s Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and S.T. Karnick will be joined by H. Sterling Burnett to discuss this, as well as the firebombing of the PA governor's mansion and the incredible media spin, China's response to Trump's tariffs, and the death of yet another climate program, this time from the USDA. All of this and more on Episode #491 of the In The Tank Podcast!

In news that has climate alarmists in an even greater panic, the Trump administration is ending funding for the U.S. Global Change Research Program, the panel that produced the federal government’s National Climate Assessment every four years. Several officials in the office have reportedly been fired, and Trump’s NASA has canceled the contract with the firm that coordinates the production of the National Climate Assessment. Defenders of the program say the report has been a “comprehensive look at climate change,” but has that ever been true?

The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will discuss this topic and also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week.

The Net Zero project in Great Britain, so the country does it’s part to stop climate change, has a true believer behind it in leftist Prime Minister Keir Starmer. But recent opinion polls show the public is starting to turn dramatically against it, especially when the economic costs become increasingly real. A London Times poll in November found that 92% of the British public viewed Labour’s specific Net Zero plans—particularly the 2030 clean power goal—as unrealistic. Despite a foolish drive to “deindustrialize” the UK, force residents to buy expensive heat pumps, and reducing agriculture, the government’s own Climate Change Committee frets that the efforts are woefully inadequate. Is the whole project in danger of collapsing due to the weight of its utter infeasibility? Or is that wishful thinking for the people of Britain and climate realists worldwide?

The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely will discuss this topic and more with special guest Lois Perry, the director of Heartland UK/Europe. We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including the closing of an EPA museum that no one knew existed, how clinical climate anxiety continues to rise, and how global warming is causing your dog to stress out.

The scientific community and the media are focused almost exclusively by how greenhouse gas emissions affect the climate — from power plants to automobiles to your fireplace to your gas stove, and even cow farts. But what about that big ball of gas in the sky? Why does it get short shrift when it comes to the causes of climate change?

The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely will discuss this topic, asked for by many of the show’s fans, with one of the leading solar and climate experts in the world: Dr. Willie Soon. We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including a global warming conference that got snowed in, how climate change is affecting your naps, a promise by the crazies in Just Stop Oil to cease all its childish “direct action” to save the planet, and a debunking of human-caused climate change causing cherry blossoms to bloom too early.

For decades, Greenpeace activists have used the legal system, “direct action,” vandalism, and even violence against energy companies and workers. Well, the tables have turned BIG TIME. A North Dakota jury decided this week that Greenpeace must pay oil company Energy Transfer a staggering $667 million for inciting protests, encouraging violence, and damaging the company’s reputation. Before the verdict, Greenpeace USA said such a decision would bankrupt the organization and drive it to extinction. Well, Greenpeace are the dinosaurs and that case is their asteroid.

The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will discuss this staggering decision — rare moment when radical environmental activists are held accountable for their disruptive and destructive actions.

We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, which includes the FBI opening criminal fraud investigations against those involved in the Biden EPA’s climate grift, while an Obama-appointed judge has delayed the clawback of the $20 billion in grants because there is “no evidence” of fraud. There’s also more bad news for unreliable wind power, Tesla vandalism continues unabated, and we’ve learned the Biden administration buried a report by its own Department of Energy that would have undermined its unilateral banning of natural gas exports.

Climate alarmists frequently claim that ocean temperatures are soaring at dangerous rates due to human-caused global warming. In recent reports, they cite record temperatures from 2023 as proof that humanity is dangerously altering our planet's oceans.

But how accurate is this alarming narrative? In this quick climate fact check, Linnea Lueken explains the gradual nature of ocean warming, noting a modest increase of only 0.7 degrees Celsius since 1880. She discusses natural phenomena like the end of the Little Ice Age and recurring El Niño events as significant drivers of ocean temperature variations, raising the important question: Are human CO2 emissions really responsible for ocean warming, or are natural forces playing a much larger role?

When COVID-19 first appeared just steps from a lab known for engineering dangerous viruses, we were told it came from a bat. When vaccines were released, we were told they would prevent transmission. When masks became mandatory, we were told they stopped the spread. And now, we’re told the planet is spiraling into a climate catastrophe.

You’ve been lied to.

This whiteboard animation breaks down the well-coordinated misinformation we’ve been fed—from COVID’s lab origins to the media's climate crisis narrative. In this video, we ask the tough questions:

Why did the government and media suppress dissent?

Who profited from the fear?

What is the real science behind masks, vaccines, and climate claims?

Watch the full breakdown and decide for yourself.

In this video, Linnea Lueken breaks down the often-misunderstood distinction between weather and climate. With media outlets and climate activists frequently misusing the terms interchangeably, this quick fact check aims to arm viewers with clear definitions to spot misleading claims about so-called "climate disasters."

Weather is what we experience daily—sunshine, rain, storms—while climate is a long-term average over decades. Linnea highlights how cherry-picking extreme weather events to "prove" climate change misrepresents the data. In fact, long-term trends show little to no increase in storm frequency or intensity despite modest warming. So why are we told every storm is a sign of climate catastrophe?

Carbon dioxide is routinely singled out as the climate villain, but it makes up only a tiny fraction of Earth’s atmosphere. Even so, we often hear that rising CO₂ levels will accelerate global warming. In this video, we take a closer look at the concept of CO₂ saturation—how carbon dioxide molecules can only absorb so much heat before additional CO₂ makes little to no difference.

New findings from atmospheric scientists at prestigious institutions like MIT and Princeton suggest that we may have already hit the saturation point. So does boosting CO₂ beyond current levels truly spell doom for the planet, or is its warming power already maxed out? Watch now to decide for yourself.
