The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 362 of the In The Tank Podcast. President Joe Biden is seemingly taking on a new "tough guy" persona. The ITT crew discusses whether this new "Dark Brandon" persona is going to lead to an increased push for agenda items during his next two years in office. Will Biden more aggressively push for climate action, or gun control measures, or health care policy?
