Heartland Daily Podcast

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo present episode 470 of the In The Tank Podcast. When Elon Musk expressed interest in purchasing Twitter and making it a bastion for free speech, he simultaneously put a target on his back for the political elites. In a recent development, leaked documents appear to show advisors to the Kamala Harris campaign have plans to "kill Musk's Twitter." Elon Musk's response? "This is war." Also, has the media completely lost it? President Donald Trump's recent campaign stunt at McDonalds has exposed what can only be described as lunacy of the mainstream media.
