Join The Heartland Institute’s Linnea Lueken, S.T. Karnick, and Jim Lakely as they dive into Episode 497 of the In The Tank Podcast. This episode explores timely and provocative topics, including the Democrats’ ongoing quest to find their own version of podcast superstar Joe Rogan—can they cultivate a voice that resonates widely in the digital age?
The team also discusses President Joe Biden’s reliance on the autopen presidency. With Biden increasingly using automation and pre-scripted methods to fulfill presidential duties, what does this mean for transparency, authenticity, and public perception of leadership?
Finally, they break down former President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” The hosts analyze its economic promises, potential impact on climate and energy policies, and how it stacks up against the Biden administration’s previous legislation. Tune in for insightful discussion, sharp analysis, and engaging debate on today’s critical issues.
