  • I Am The Science! Fauci Lied, People Died - In The Tank #547

    I Am The Science! Fauci Lied, People Died - In The Tank #547
    Jul 30 2026

    Anthony Fauci was recently hauled before the Senate to explain his role in the COVID 19 pandemic, and the multitude of lies he told as head of the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and advisor to the president. He pleaded the fifth more than 100 times during the hearing, refusing to answer pointed questions. Next steps are as unclear as his tenure, his reasoning for seeming to protect China has been left unstated, and the scale of his corruption is hard to quantify.

    Meanwhile, the FCC has delivered a blow to China's AI and robotics industry by BANNING Chinese-made advanced robotics.

    On UNHINGED: Mamdani suggests that cash reparations might be doled out over slavery. Somehow.

    And for America @ 250, with all the drama surrounding Fauci, we're going to take a look at disease and epidemiology during the Revolution.

    The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo will talk about all of this and more on Episode #546 of the In The Tank Podcast.

    Our Elections Are In Peril! - In The Tank Podcast #546
    Jul 23 2026
    President Trump revealed that China has been interfering with our elections, especially the fraught 2020 election, in a speech that the mainstream media attempted to debunk before they even had the details. Trump brought receipts, and then as if to re-emphasize his point about election integrity, another bombshell dropped: illegals have been voting in New Jersey elections. The panel will discuss how to prevent these egregious problems with our election system, how to harden it against attacks, and how deep this all may go.On UNHINGED: Representative Jasmine Crockett says the reason people were rooting for Spain in the World Cup... was racism.And for USA @250 - In 1776, the first draft of the Pennsylvania constitution quickly highlighted why too much Democracy can be a bad thing.The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and S.T.

  • Democratic Socialists of America's Anti-American Platform - In The Tank #545

    Democratic Socialists of America's Anti-American Platform - In The Tank #545
    Jul 16 2026

    The Democratic Socialists in America have one of the most extreme platforms of any rising political group. They identify some real problems, but their solutions would be catastrophic. The team breaks down the most dangerous elements of the DSA's stated goals, and presents what would ACTUALLY help the poor and working classes in America.

    Also discussed is the unexpected positive consequences of investment in AI: natural gas and other major energy infrastructure is being improved in anticipation of the need for stable power, it may even spur on an energy revolution.

    On UNHINGED: A crazy Canadian lady attacked a girl for wearing MAGA gear... and was promptly detained by ICE.

    And for our America @ 250 segment, As the Declaration was distributed through the colonies and the danger of British forces loomed, frontier life hundreds of miles away was even more wild and dangerous.

    The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and S.T. Karnick will talk about all of this and more on Episode #545 of the In The Tank Podcast.
