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. Also, are developments in Trump's court cases tantamount to election interference? PRIMARY TOPIC - 2024 Mail-In Ballot Crisis and Election Interference

Ill Literacy, Episode 139: On Great Fields (Guest: Ronald C. White)

On episode 105 of The Climate Realism Show, we talk to E. Calvin Beisner, co-editor (along with David Legates) of the new book “Climate and Energy: The Case For Realism.” The book combines outstanding climate science, physics, economics, environmental science, political science, ethics, and theology to present a well-reasoned understanding of human-induced climate change and how to respond to it. The authors of the chapters in this book, all experts in their respective fields, conclude for a wide range of issues related to climate and energy, that “attempted cures for climate change are generally worse than the disease—especially for the poor.” 
 Beisner will join host Jim Lakely, and The Heartland Institute’s usual climate crew of H. Sterling Burnett and Linnea Lueken, to talk about this book and also the Crazy Climate News of the Week. Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET (12 p.m. CT) for the kind of climate realism you can’t find anywhere else, and join the chat to get your questions answered, too.

Heartland’s Tim Benson is joined by Joanne Paul, Senior Lecturer in Early Modern History at the University of Sussex, to discuss her new book, The House of Dudley: A New History of Tudor England.
