The Heartland Institute's Jim Lakely, AnneMarie Schieber, and Samantha Fillmore are joined by Isaac Orr on episode 284 of the In The Tank Podcast.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has decided to open up his state 100% and throw the mask mandate on the ash heap of history. The left, the media, and mask worshippers are losing their minds. Meanwhile, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is in trouble after multiple allegations of sexually harassing younger female staffers -- which might have made it easier for the legislature to remove the dictatorial "emergency" powers he has wielded like an incompetent emperor for a year. The ITT crew also wonders why six Dr. Seuss books have to be canceled and destroyed, rather than just amended for more-sensitive modern audiences.
