In The Tank

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and Jack McPherrin present episode 430 of the In The Tank Podcast. 2023 is in the history books. On this first episode of the new year, we look at some of the stories that will surely define 2024. The upcoming presidential election, the impending Donald Trump trials, and growing economic instability are just a few of the stories that will surely grab serious headline space in the next twelve months. Also, the episode will end with a special Davos Watch segment as Davos 2024 approaches in the next few weeks.
