Cultural Marxists Take Over College Campuses - In The Tank #447

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?
