In The Tank

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 405 of the In The Tank Podcast. In an effort to strengthen its relevance and consolidate its influence on global affairs, the United Nations (UN) has embarked on a transformative journey with the release of its groundbreaking initiative, "Our Common Agenda." Part of this new "agenda" lays out the new "emergency powers" the organization should have in case of a disruptive global event. The ITT crew takes a good look at the plan and the U.N.'s upcoming "Summit of the Future" conference in 2024."
