In The Tank

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo present episode 414 of the In The Tank Podcast. It appears more and more that we are venturing into a new era of COVID restrictions. President Biden stated his intention to seek additional funding to develop a new COVID vaccine. Fauci was recently on CNN promoting masking up. And more schools and venues are imposing COVID mandates. Also, there are many signs the government is willing to use new tools and strategies to enforce harsher COVID lockdowns. The ITT crew discusses these topics and more.
