In The Tank

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 396 of the In The Tank Podcast. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed the most comprehensive Anti-ESG bill into law this week. Now, he is turning his attention toward the Digital Dollar (CBDC). How will these moves effect The Great Reset movement? Is he building a worthy defense for the state or is this just a speed bump for the plans of the World Economic Forum. The ITT crew discusses these important questions. Also, the Supreme Court is taking on a case that could have some serious ramifications for the Administrative State.
