In The Tank

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo present episode 406 of the In The Tank Podcast. A few different court rulings has put a stop to the government in its role of working with social media companies to "stop misinformation." This has been a topic of the podcast for a while now, and it is great to finally see some progress in limiting the government's ability to censor citizens' speech. Also, the ITT crew starts the show talking about the recent release of Glenn Beck's book Dark Future: Uncovering the Great Reset's Terrifying Next Phase - a book co-authored by ITT regular Justin Haskins.
