President Biden told 60 Minutes in October that COVID-19 was essentially over. If that's true, why is he still lobbying Congress for billions of dollars in more COVID-19 relief? Biden also extended the emergency declaration another 90 days, further going against his stated position. Dr. Chad Savage, founder, Your Choice Direct Care, thinks the spending is not only unhealthy for the American economy, but “unnecessary, harmful, and blind to Americans’ real needs and problems.Savage says there is plenty of COVID-19 relief money unspent, just sitting on the sidelines. As a physician, Savage worries how more government spending will drive inflation further, increasing costs for working families. COVID is now becoming an excuse for Congress to continue its spending binge.Savage wrote about COVID-19 relief spending in an op-ed in Real Clear Health this summer. He also discussed the emergency declaration extension, now scheduled to end in December. Savage covers opportunity costs involved when funds are directed to COVID-19 versus where our health care priorities should be.Real Clear Health Op-Ed: https://www.realclearhealth.com/articles/2022/07/06/dont_buy_into_the_covid_relief_spending_spree_111363.html In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

Environmental alarmists are trotting out the tired trope that growing human populations threaten the end of the world. In this case, they’re not claiming overpopulation threatens humanity due to using up finite resources, but rather because human greenhouse gas emissions are causing catastrophic climate change. Today’s guests, Pierre Desrochers and Joanna Szurmak, are authors of the book “Population Bombed!: Exploding the Link Between Overpopulation and Climate Change.” The authors explain why population growth is not causing dangerous climate change nor is it bad outright.In reality, an increasing population with longer average lifespans only improves humanities rate of discovering new resources to use and technologies to improve lives. Plus, environmental stewardship will improve as a result. In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 368 of the In The Tank Podcast. It appears as the though the consensus is in - we are heading for a recession. However, according to President Biden, we are only likely to get a "slight recession." The ITT crew talks about the potential severity of the coming recession. Also, the most recent census over counted in a bunch of blue states, potentially skewing the political landscape in favor of the Democrats.

Late this summer, CVS fired a nurse practitioner for refusing to prescribe ‘Plan B’ ‘Morning After’ pills at the “Minute Clinic” where she had worked for 2 ½ years. CVS had been aware of Paige Casey’s religious objections to prescribing the abortifacients, exempted her from doing so, and even gave her favorable job reviews. In August, CVS changed its mind and told Casey she would no longer be given an exemption. Casey is suing CVS and is being represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom.Increasingly, health care professionals are being reprimanded, attacked and even fired for refusing to perform procedures that violate their religious convictions. It is not clear why CVS changed its position this summer regarding Casey. Interestingly, the MinuteClinic where Casey worked is located in Virginia where there are conscience protections in the law. CVS has stated it did not believe the “Morning After” bills are abortifacients but contraception. Kevin Theriot, an attorney with the Alliance Defending Freedom, discusses the facts of the case, the arguments, how the Dobbs decision comes into play, how there will likely be more cases similar to this, and the possibility that the issue could end up in the U.S. Supreme Court.Alliance Defending Freedom: https://adflegal.org/paige-casey In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

POLITICO just released their inaugural Green 28 list. This list is constructed to rank the 28 individuals with the most influence on the European Union's sustainability, environmental, mobility, climate and energy policies. Vladimir Putin was awarded the top spot on the list. Russia holds a stronghold on energy exports within Europe. Without looking at why this is the case, POLITICO gleefully agues that Russia's invasion of Ukraine will force a green revolution.

Heartland’s Tim Benson is joined by Ryan T. Anderson, president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, to discuss his new book, co-authored with Alexandra DeSanctis, “Tearing Us Apart: How Abortion Harms Everything and Solves Nothing.” They discuss how the post­-Roe experiment with unlimited abortion has harmed everyone and corrupted our political system, medicine, and the media, while undermining the rule of law. They also chat about what abortion in the United States will look like post-Dobbs, and what abortion opponents can do to help foster a culture of life.Get the book here: https://www.regnery.com/9781684513505/tearing-us-apart/Show Notes:The American Conservative: Emile Doak – “Abortion and the Clash of Moral Visions” https://www.theamericanconservative.com/abortion-and-the-clash-of-moral-visions/The Heritage Foundation: Tearing Us Apart: How Abortion Harms Everything and Solves Nothing (VIDEO) https://www.heritage.org/life/event/tearing-us-apart-how-abortion-harms-everything-and-solves-nothingNational Review: Ryan T.
