In The Tank

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 423 of the In The Tank Podcast. The 21st-Century form of collectivism is one that melds the powers of private corporations and organizations with the force of government. This collusion, brought to light by the 2022 book The Great Reset, is threatening the very freedoms we hold dear as Americans. A new report was just released showing the extent at which this partnership went to stifle speech on topics ranging from Covid-19 to the 2020 elections. Also, emerging technologies are going to supercharge the power of this deadly alliance. And lastly, the ITT will break an exclusive bombshell report about RFK Jr.
