President Trump revealed that China has been interfering with our elections, especially the fraught 2020 election, in a speech that the mainstream media attempted to debunk before they even had the details. Trump brought receipts, and then as if to re-emphasize his point about election integrity, another bombshell dropped: illegals have been voting in New Jersey elections. The panel will discuss how to prevent these egregious problems with our election system, how to harden it against attacks, and how deep this all may go. On UNHINGED: Representative Jasmine Crockett says the reason people were rooting for Spain in the World Cup... was racism. And for USA @250 - In 1776, the first draft of the Pennsylvania constitution quickly highlighted why too much Democracy can be a bad thing. The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and S.T. Karnick will talk about all of this and more on Episode #546 of the In The Tank Podcast.

How many Bond villain schemes can climate alarmists come up with? Apparently one every month or so. The latest scheme to “save the planet” and help make solar installations viable at night is to put giant mirrors in space to reflect sunlight down on earth during the night. And the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, amazingly, just gave that idea the go-ahead. On Episode 207 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Sterling Burnett, and Jim Lakely will talk about that Crazy Climate News of the Week. We will also cover the huge conflict of interest Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan has for an important upcoming climate case, the “climate score scam” that harms the value of your home, and will the political success of socialists in the United States put the Green New Deal back on the table?

The Democratic Socialists in America have one of the most extreme platforms of any rising political group. They identify some real problems, but their solutions would be catastrophic. The team breaks down the most dangerous elements of the DSA's stated goals, and presents what would ACTUALLY help the poor and working classes in America. Also discussed is the unexpected positive consequences of investment in AI: natural gas and other major energy infrastructure is being improved in anticipation of the need for stable power, it may even spur on an energy revolution. On UNHINGED: A crazy Canadian lady attacked a girl for wearing MAGA gear... and was promptly detained by ICE. And for our America @ 250 segment, As the Declaration was distributed through the colonies and the danger of British forces loomed, frontier life hundreds of miles away was even more wild and dangerous. The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and S.T. Karnick will talk about all of this and more on Episode #545 of the In The Tank Podcast.

For many years, the U.S. Global Change Research Program has been a font of climate alarmist propaganda instead of a federal department focused on science. That is now changing. The Trump administration, which shut down the office, is reopening it under new management with a real scientist who is not a climate doomer: friend of the show Matt Wielicki. On Episode 207 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Sterling Burnett, and Jim Lakely welcome guest Isaac Orr one of the “Energy Bad Boys.” We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including: how opponents of AI data centers are using climate alarmist arguments, the EU ending its fatwa on livestock, and a crazy idea to try to steer hurricanes.

Trump Restoring Real Climate Science — The Climate Realism Show #207
The Heartland Institute views July 10, 2026 1:36 pm
Last week, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt went on Fox and suggested that Gen-Z is attracted to socialism because they are lazy and entitled as well as being brainwashed by the education system. The latter is certainly partially true, the American education system skews extremely far left, but what about the other charges? This kind of rhetoric seems unlikely to win anyone over, we discuss what a better strategy may look like. Also, Health Secretary RFK Jr. has decided to end the emergency liability protections for the COVID vaccines, terminating the forever-pandemic narrative set by his predecessor. On UNHINGED: The Smithsonian is apparently still woke, and is misusing taxpayer funding. And for America @ 250, we'll discuss how the Declaration was received as New York prepared for invasion. The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and S.T. Karnick will talk about all of this and more on Episode #544 of the In The Tank Podcast.

This week we celebrate the Declaration of Independence, and the beginning of America's recognition of her own full sovereignty as a nation. We discuss what we love about America, what there is to celebrate despite our hardships and the drift from the founders' original intent. This is a massively important week to reflect on the questions that began this country, on liberty and responsibility, and when government has gone too far. We also cover three of this week's big SCOTUS decisions, regarding Birthright citizenship, the ability of the President to fire executive officials, and SCOTUS accepting to hear a case about assault weapons. For UNHINGED: Sadly more Socialists candidates have snagged victory in Democrat primaries, and they are just as extreme as the others we've discussed. The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and S.T. Karnick will talk about all of this and more on Episode #542 of the In The Tank Podcast.

Coal provides dependable electricity around the clock, stores months of fuel on-site, and operates at significantly higher capacity than intermittent energy sources. Learn why coal remains one of the world's most important fuels and how government policies have forced reliable power plants offline despite growing demand for electricity.

Is the media’s nonstop climate panic finally losing steam? Major outlets are scaling back climate coverage. The Washington Post fired 13 Climate Desk reporters, NPR disbanded its climate desk, Politico is folding E&E News into its main operation, and the latest UN climate negotiations in Germany saw the fewest journalists in attendance in more than a decade. Are these signs that climate realism is winning the debate, or just a temporary lull before the alarmists regroup? On Episode #206 of The Climate Realism Show, The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, H. Sterling Burnett, and Jim Lakely welcome Anika Sweetland of the CO2 Coalition to discuss the latest signs of momentum for climate realism. We’ll also cover the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including: - A UN plan to tax global shipping and aviation over greenhouse gas emissions - Claims that climate change is ruining our sleep - How China is exploiting the global climate agenda for economic warfare And more!
