The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 423 of the In The Tank Podcast. The 21st-Century form of collectivism is one that melds the powers of private corporations and organizations with the force of government. This collusion, brought to light by the 2022 book The Great Reset, is threatening the very freedoms we hold dear as Americans. A new report was just released showing the extent at which this partnership went to stifle speech on topics ranging from Covid-19 to the 2020 elections. Also, emerging technologies are going to supercharge the power of this deadly alliance. And lastly, the ITT will break an exclusive bombshell report about RFK Jr. PRIMARY TOPIC - 21st CENTURY FASCISM, CONTROLLING SPEECH AND SOCIETY   Real Clear Investigations - Documents Shed New Light on Feds' Collusion with Private Actors to Police Speech on Social Media https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2023/11/06/documents_shed_new_light_on_feds_collusion_with_private_actors_to_police_speech_on_social_media_990672.html   The Federalist - Government Censorship Op Targeted The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway, Sean Davis During 2020 Election https://thefederalist.com/2023/11/07/government-censorship-op-targeted-the-federalists-mollie-hemingway-sean-davis-during-2020-election/   The Blaze - Secret reports show Homeland Security worked with universities to 'censor Americans' online speech' before 2020 election https://www.theblaze.com/news/dhs-stanford-disinformation-campaign-bigtech   World Economic Forum (WEF) Launches AI Governance Alliance Focused on Responsible Generative AI https://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2023/06/208888-world-economic-forum-wef-launches-ai-governance-alliance-focused-on-responsible-generative-ai/   WH - Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights https://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/ai-bill-of-rights/

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 447 of the In The Tank Podcast. Over the past week, student-led protest groups have essentially taken over college campuses across the United States, demonstrating on behalf of the pro-Palestine movement. The radical rhetoric, the disruption of classes, and the crack down by police has stirred up a lot of attention on this matter, but many important aspects are being ignored. Who is funding this movement? What are the true intentions of the protests? And how are these factors effected by the upcoming Presidential election?

Also, is the political rhetoric getting more polarized in America? Are the left and right getting further apart? OPENING CHIT CHAT - CLIMATE AT A GLANCE
