The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 445 of the In The Tank Podcast. The Heartland Institute commissioned a new poll with Rasmussen Reports that once again highlights major election integrity issues that will effect the 2024 election. We asked likely voters if they would cheat to help their favored candidate win the presidency. The results are shocking.

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 444 of the In The Tank Podcast. Depending on what news sites you look at, you might be told the economy is doing great or its falling apart. Or you might be told climate change is a crisis or not an issue to be concerned about.

Left vs. Right: We Are Living In Different Universes - In The Tank #444

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Chris Talgo, and Linnea Lueken present episode 443 of the In The Tank Podcast. Heartland's Socialism Research Center just released a new book, Socialism At A Glance. Socialism at a Glance attempts to fill that educational deficiency, providing a succinct summary of socialism's origins and rise in modern history while also giving detailed case studies of some of the most infamous socialist regimes that rose to power in the 20th century, including some that still exist to this day.
