Heartland Daily Podcast

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo present episode 474 of the In The Tank Podcast. As the dust of the election settles, President-elect Donald J. Trump is busy constructing his cabinet. Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Marco Rubio, and many others have been nominated by Trump to fill some of the most important positions in the upcoming administration. How is the ITT crew reacting to some of these picks? Also, Thanksgiving is next week. Will families unite over good food, or will arguments break out while we pass the mashed potatoes?
