Heartland Daily Podcast

Heartland’s Tim Benson is joined by Jeffrey Edward Green, Professor of Political Science and Director of the Andrea Mitchell Center for the Study of Democracy at the University of Pennsylvania, to discuss his new book, Bob Dylan: Prophet Without God. They chat about how Green sees Dylan as a modern-day prophet, but a prophet of diremption rather than a prophet of salvation. They also discuss how Dylan has made novel contributions to the meaning of self-reliance, the quest for rapprochement between the religious and non-religious, and the problem of how ordinary people might operate in a fallen political world.Get the book here: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/bob-dylan-9780197651742?cc=us&lang=en& In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

Elon Musk’s latest fortune was built on his Tesla electric vehicles, helped in no small measure by federal tax credits so more people could afford to buy the luxury items. For years, he’s marketed them as a way to help wean the world of oil and stop the imminent “climate change meltdown.” But The Washington Post reports that Musk’s abandonment of left-wing, trendy, virtue-signaling political views not only eventually led him to Donald Trump, but maybe out of the Climate Cult, altogether. And if Musk makes it OK to leave, will more prominent business leaders and cultural trend setters soon follow?On Episode #138 of The Climate Realism Show, The Heartland Institute’s H. Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will cover that story, as well as some of the “Crazy Climate News of the Week.” Did you know the Chinese Communist Party is sending lots of money to “green energy” groups and support energy groups and universities in the United States? The UK’s obsession with reaching “Net Zero” is putting its military in danger on the battlefield. And you’re not going to want to miss what is perhaps the dumbest question ever asked by an anchor on CNN.Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET so you can leave your questions and comments for the show in the chat.

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 476 of the In The Tank Podcast. As Donald Trump prepares to take office in 2025, President Joe Biden is riding out his last days in the Oval Office. But instead of just focusing on the orderly transfer of power, Biden seems like he may be trying to sabotage Trump's upcoming term before it can even start. Peculiar foreign policy decisions and increased spending that is contributing to increasing inflation rates is making us wonder if Biden is striving to make life under Trump as hard as possible. Also, the ITT crew talks about Biden's creepy misinformation programs and more.Is Biden Trying to Sabotage Trump?Fox News - Biden admin extends $10B Iran sanctions waiver 2 days after Trump election winhttps://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-admin-extends-10b-iran-sanctions-waiver-2-days-after-trump-election-winReuters - US Treasury transfers $20 billion in Ukraine loan funds to World Bank facilityhttps://www.reuters.com/world/europe/us-treasury-disburses-20-billion-ukraine-loan-funds-world-bank-facility-2024-12-10/AP News - Biden authorizes Ukraine to use US-supplied longer range missiles for deeper strikes inside Russiahttps://apnews.com/article/biden-ukraine-long-range-weapons-russia-52d424158182de2044ecc8bfcf011f9c Inflation is Up AgainCNBC - Annual inflation rate accelerates to 2.7% in November, as expectedhttps://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/11/cpi-inflation-november-2024-annual-inflation-rate-accelerates-to-2point7percent-in-november-as-expected.htmlForbes - Rise In November Consumer Inflation Is Not Going To Stop Fed Rate Cutshttps://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonschenker/2024/12/11/rise-in-november-consumer-inflation-is-not-going-to-stop-fed-rate-cuts/ Biden's Creepy Misinformation ProgramsOpen The Books - Taxpayer Funded Censorship: How Government is Using Your Tax Dollars to Silence Your Voicehttps://openthebooks.substack.com/p/taxpayer-funded-censorship-how-governmentFox News - Biden spent millions on ‘misinformation’ research.

The investigative journalists at Project Veritas have a new scoop. President Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency is reacting to soon losing power by shoveling tens of billions of your tax dollars out the door to left-wing “green” nonprofits. “”We’re throwing gold bars off the Titanic,” said Brent Efron, Special Advisor for Implementation, EPA. “We’re getting the money out.” Again, that’s your money.On Episode #137 of The Climate Realism Show, The Heartland Institute’s H.

Joe Biden pardoned Hunter, President-elect Trump continues to fill his cabinet, and a new analysis of the 2024 election shows that socialist candidates won a vast majority of their races.

The latest annual United Nations climate conference, COP29, is about to wrap up in Baku, Azerbaijan – the second year in a row it has been held in a “petro state.” Add in the election of Donald Trump just before they convened, and it was a pretty grim affair if you are a global climate alarmist. But for some people it was a blast, including Craig Rucker and Marc Morano of CFACT, who attended as they usually do. They will provide us a report from the ground on what even supporters of the global climate command-and-control agenda are admitting was a disaster.On Episode #136 The Heartland Institute’s H.

While the political tide has shifted right in the United States – and away from the climate alarmist agenda – our neighbors to the north are still currently all-in for the economically ruinous and scientifically unnecessary Net Zero agenda. But climate realists in the Great White North are pushing back, and a new book released in conjunction with The Heartland Institute will serve as an important weapon in the scientific and public relations arsenal. We talk to guests Ron Davison of the Friends of Science Society and Tom Harris of the International Climate Science Coalition.On Episode #135 of The Climate Realism Show, we welcome the co-authors of Energy & Climate at a Glance: Canadian Edition, which outlines why the climate plans of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s climate plans will cause economic hardship in Canada and will do nothing measurable to improve the global climate.

Since Election Night, doesn’t everything feel different now? Not just our politics. but the whole mood of the country. Yes, some of our fellow Americans are in a very sad state. Clips of people filming their misery and sharing it with the world are everywhere. But for the majority of the country, is feels like a major societal and cultural shift has occurred. And there are a lot of people walking around with a new spring in their step.Our media has changed, with the legacy media’s corruption being its undoing. Our pop culture feels about to change, too, moving away from leftist moralizing and back to producing entertainment with broad appeal. It just feels like the politicization of everything is over, and we’re waking up in a new era in which leftism is no longer going to be the dominant force in American life.In a special Episode #473 of the In the Tank Podcast, guest host Jim Lakely welcomes The Heartland Institute’s Linnea Lueken and CFACT’s Chris Martz to discuss whether they share Jim's feeling that everything has changed. And if it has, what a more “normal” future will look like.SUPPORT THE SHOW: https://heartland.org/donate/SHOW NOTESCNN 'will axe top stars in layoffs that'll see hundreds fired as ratings continue to tank'https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...“Fair & Balanced”: Trump 2.0 Era Brings New Los Angeles Times Editorial Board, Owner Promises With Fox News Motto Echohttps://deadline.com/2024/11/trump-la...MSNBC and CNN Ratings Tank After Trump Steamrolls Kamala Harrishttps://www.outkick.com/analysis/msnb...MSNBC Ratings Crater As Viewers Tune Out Trump Victory Coveragehttps://www.mediaite.com/news/just-in...Hollywood Braces for a Woke Backlash in the Wake of Trump's Electionhttps://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news...SEMAFOR: The old media grapples with its new limitshttps://www.semafor.com/article/11/10...The rejection of the ruling class was global.https://x.com/jburnmurdoch/status/185...

Donald Trump’s massive landslide victory in Tuesday’s presidential election has climate activists around the world melting down. Trump called measures to control climate change “one of the great scams” of the world, and said at one of his final rallies “who the hell cares?” if the sea levels rise. Trump will immediately get America out of the Paris Climate Agreement, and promised in his acceptance speech this week to get as much “liquid gold” out of ground in the United States as possible. Climate Clown Michael Mann is apoplectic, of course. Climate activists in the UK vandalized the US embassy in London with orange paint. And X, formerly Twitter, was full of climate loonies losing their minds. We’ll go over all of that, and have a little schadenfreudic fun at their expense.On Episode #134 of The Climate Realism Show, we welcome the Carbon King, Jason Isaac CEO of the American Energy Institute to discuss the future of climate and energy policy in the restoration of the Trump administration.

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 472 of the In The Tank Podcast. Donald J. Trump has been elected as the 47th President of the United States. Trump's victory comes after a years long campaign by the media to paint the President-elect as a racist, sexist, fascist, second-coming of Hitler. The media's narrative failed as Trump looks to lock up the popular vote. The In The Tank crew talks about the evaporating influence of the mainstream media and speculates on what the first 100 days of the next administration will look like.Election Outcome and Exit PollsNYT - Election Live Updateshttps://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/11/06/us/trump-election-harris-newsNBC News - Exit Pollshttps://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-elections/exit-pollsReckoning of the Media's InfluenceBusiness Insider - Trump's victory shows the flagging influence of mainstream mediahttps://www.businessinsider.com/trumps-victory-shows-the-flagging-influence-of-mainstream-media-2024-11The Left's Narrative and SpinThe Atlantic - TRUMP WON.

"Not So Fast," is a campaign to make it obvious to the general public, regulators, and legislators alike that coal still plays a vital role to play in the U.S. electric power supply and in industrial production, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. It is way too soo to put it out to pasture and doing so could be dangerous, putting our economy and national security at risk. The push to quickly end coal's use and rapidly expand the use of renewables will harm the U.S. and won't impact climate change, especially when one realize the industrial production of wind and solar use coal as well.

Climate change policy is often framed as a challenge to personal freedoms and choices, especially when policies seem to impose strict limits on individuals’ lifestyles and economic options. For example, regulations that mandate renewable energy or limit fossil fuel use can feel like a direct restriction on the American dream—the idea that with hard work, anyone can achieve prosperity and a higher standard of living. These policies sometimes require sacrifices that may impact businesses and workers in traditional energy industries, as well as limit consumer choices in cars, appliances, home energy sources, and travel options. Additionally, many people worry that climate policies prioritize environmental goals over economic growth, which can restrict innovation, hinder job creation, and raise costs for families. Critics argue that climate policy, especially if it involves heavy-handed government intervention, reduces personal choices by dictating what types of products, energy, and resources individuals can access. For many, this perceived loss of choice challenges core values of independence, opportunity, and personal freedom, which are at the heart of the American dream.

Welcome to the Emerging Issues Show - the show where we talking about topics that are popping up on the peripheries of society and public policy.Today, we are talking about a proposed overhaul to our voting system called Rank Choice Voting. Supposedly, this new voting system will allow for better representation and result in fairer outcomes, but is this really the case? Or will Rank Choice Voting work to further cement into place the two party system while disenfranchising more voters along the way?Our guest today is Brady Smith, a fellow in the American Journey Experience Freedom Rising Fellowship program and author of the article “Exposing the ranked-choice voting scam.” In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Jack McPherrin present episode 471 of the In The Tank Podcast. The last vestiges of the media's credibility are going up in smoke. From ghastly journalistic blunders to headlines that twist and turn like characters in a Hitchcock thriller, we’ll break down how the media seems to be taking an axe to its own reputation—Jack Torrance-style. Polls show public trust in the media is as low as the depths of Crystal Lake, and even Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon and owner of The Washington Post, recently penned a chilling op-ed on Americans' growing distrust. Join us as we venture into the haunted house of today’s media landscape—where truth and fiction blur and shadows lurk behind every headline."Trump on Joe RoganJoe Rogan Experience #2219 - Donald Trumphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBMoPUAeLnYNYP - YouTube, Google accused of censorship as Joe Rogan’s Trump interview nearly impossible to find in search: ‘No sensible explanation’https://nypost.com/2024/10/28/business/youtube-google-accused-of-censorship-as-joe-rogans-trump-interview-nearly-impossible-to-find/Trump's MSG "Nazi Rally"Fox News - Walz repeats Clinton attack that Trump Madison Square Garden event mirrored 1930s Nazi rallyhttps://www.foxnews.com/politics/walz-repeats-clinton-attack-trump-madison-square-garden-event-mirrored-1930s-nazi-rallyNational Review - Know Who Else Rallied at Madison Square Garden?

Heartland’s Tim Benson is joined by renowned historian Richard Overy to discuss his new book, Why War? They chat about why has war been such a consistent presence throughout the human past, and indeed in the human present, and what are the major drivers and motivations for war, how each has contributed to organized conflict, and whether humanity will ever evolve away from organized conflict. They also discuss the impulses embedded in human biology and psychology, the incentives to conflict developed through cultural evolution, and how competition for resources, or conflicts stirred by the passions of belief, the effects of ecological stresses, the drive for power in leaders and nations, and the search for security all contribute to this phenomenon that is unique human.Get the book here: https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324021742Show Notes:The Telegraph: James Holland – “Why humanity’s appetite for war will never be sated”https://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/non-fiction/why-war-richard-overy-review/Times Literary Supplement: Edward N.

The whole world seems to be nervously awaiting the outcome of the presidential election, which is just 10 days away — perhaps no group more than the global climate cabal. Climate and energy policy is a topic barely mentioned on the campaign trail, and in the debates. But voters are going to decide in November whether America keeps spending billions to be a “leader” in global climate action schemes or pull out of the scam altogether ... and maybe for good.On Episode #132 of The Climate Realism Show our guest is Steve Milloy, publisher of Junkscience.com, senior fellow at the Energy & Environment Legal Institute, and member of the EPA transition team for the first Trump presidency. The Biden-Harris administration has pledged billions of US tax dollars for “global climate action.” Would it be too late to get a refund on that if Trump is elected? Would a second Trump administration get even more aggressive with producing oil and gas? Could he end the taxpayer-subsidized and failing “green energy” industry with the stroke of a pen? And what will the next four years of climate policy look like if Kamala Harris wins?Heartland’s Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the week and take your questions in the chat. Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET this Friday and every Friday.

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo present episode 470 of the In The Tank Podcast. When Elon Musk expressed interest in purchasing Twitter and making it a bastion for free speech, he simultaneously put a target on his back for the political elites. In a recent development, leaked documents appear to show advisors to the Kamala Harris campaign have plans to "kill Musk's Twitter." Elon Musk's response? "This is war." Also, has the media completely lost it?

America’s educational system used to cover the “three Rs” — reading, writing, and ’rithmetic – but that has long been abandoned from elementary school through college and even medical school and replaced with ideological indoctrination. Now the University of California, San Diego is requiring students to take a class in “climate change” to earn a degree. Classes such as “The Astronomy of Climate Change”, “Gender and Climate Justice”, “Indigenous Approaches to Climate Change,” and “Environmentalism in Arts and Media” are on offer. What is driving the push for shoving climate alarmism into every academic subject under the sun?On Episode #131 of The Climate Realism Show, we invite Steve Goreham on to discuss. Steve is the executive director of the Climate Science Coalition of America and author of four books, including “Green Breakdown: The Coming Renewable Energy Failure.”Heartland’s Anthony Watts, H.

Welcome to the Emerging Issues Show - the show where we talking about topics that are popping up on the peripheries of society and public policy.Today, we dive into what should be a very controversial piece of proposed legislation that could grant governors immense emergency powers over society, circumventing individual liberty in the name of “public safety.” Seems pretty crazy, but the craziest aspect to it all is the same reason why you probably haven’t heard of it.Our guest today is Kendyl Turner, a fellow in the American Journey Experience Freedom Rising Fellowship program and author of the article “This bill would turn governors into tyrants, no legislature needed.” In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo present episode 469 of the In The Tank Podcast. Over this past week, we witnessed an engineering breakthrough from Elon Musk's SpaceX. The successful launch and recapture of the SpaceX Starship booster marks a pivotal moment in the future of space travel, showcasing advancements in reusability and cost efficiency. SpaceX is paving the way for a new era where space access becomes more routine and affordable, pushing the boundaries of what is possible beyond Earth's orbit. But remember, Elon Musk is frowned upon by the political elite. Instead of commemorating this occasion and encouraging this innovation, government bureaucrats have instead chosen to stifle Musk by denying his request for additional rocket launches. Also, we are another week closer to the election and it appears Kamala Harris is getting increasingly desperate.Elon Musk's Starship BreakthoughSpace - SpaceX plans to catch Starship upper stage with 'chopsticks' in early 2025, Elon Musk sayshttps://www.space.com/spacex-starship-upper-stage-chopstick-catch-elon-muskEconomist - Starship will change what is possible beyond the Earthhttps://www.economist.com/leaders/2024/10/16/starship-will-change-what-is-possible-beyond-the-earthProgressives vs. ProgressNYT - California Rejects Bid for More Frequent SpaceX Launcheshttps://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/12/us/spacex-launch-california.htmlLA Times - SpaceX sues California regulators, alleging anti-Musk bias in rocket rejectionhttps://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-10-16/spacex-political-bias-coastal-commission-lawsuitKamala's Bret Baier InterviewFox News - VP Harris to sit down hours from now with Bret Baier for first Fox News interviewhttps://www.foxnews.com/politics/vp-harris-sit-down-hours-from-now-bret-baier-first-fox-news-interviewKamala Is Getting DesperateReuters - Harris could join Joe Rogan podcast in hunt for male votes, sources sayhttps://www.reuters.com/world/us/kamala-harris-could-join-podcaster-joe-rogan-an-interview-sources-2024-10-15/Yahoo - Harris-Trump polls tighten, but PredictIt and Polymarket tell a different storyhttps://finance.yahoo.com/news/harris-trump-polls-tighten-predictit-173916471.html In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

Heartland’s Tim Benson is joined by Sergey Radchenko, Wilson E. Schmidt Distinguished Professor at the Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, to discuss his new book, To Run the World: The Kremlin's Cold War Bid for Global Power. They chat about how the Soviet struggle with the United States and China reflected its irreconcilable ambitions as a self-proclaimed superpower and the leader of global revolution, and how this tension drove Soviet policy throughout the second half of the 20th Century. They also discuss whether Soviet foreign policy was motivated more by Marxist-Leninist ideology or by traditional Russian imperialism and security concerns.

After a slow start to the 2024 Hurricane Season, it seems like Mother Nature wants to make up for lost time. First Helene hit the Florida Panhandle and caused a disaster in Appalachia. And this week, Hurricane Milton struck an area of the Florida Gulf Coast that hadn’t be hit with a storm this strong in more than 100 years. On Episode #130 of The Climate Realism Show, The Heartland Institute’s H. Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely welcome back Stan Goldenberg, one of the nation’s top hurricane experts, to break down Hurricane Milton. Was this actually and officially a “major” hurricane by the time it made landfall?We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including Bill Nye saying if you need to vote for Kamala Harris to stop hurricanes, Al Gore exploiting hurricanes for fun and profit, and the seemingly unsinkable and ridiculous notion that humans are able to seed and even steer hurricanes.

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Justin Haskins present episode 468 of the In The Tank Podcast. As the election approaches, it appears as though the mainstream media industry is desperate to paint Kamala Harris in the best light possible. For example, it appears as though 60 Minutes selectively edited their interview with VP and presidential candidate Kamala Harris to make her come off in as good a light as possible. Simultaneously, the White House Press Secretary accused correspondent Peter Doocy of spreading misinformation for simply asking a question about the Biden Administration's handling of the response to Hurricane Helene.

This week, Heartland Institute Senior Fellow Anthony Watts was a guest on the Shaun Thompson Show on AM 560 the Answer in Chicago. He was asked on the program to talk about Hurricane Milton approaching the Florida Gulf Coast and what Shaun calls the "climate grift." Anthony debunks a lot of climate myths in just a few minutes -- including how even The Washington Post had to admit that despite global warming alarmism, the Earth is experiencing the lowest global temperature in the last 450 million years. In short, and as always, Anthony points out that the actual data itself debunks the climate alarmist narrative.For more information on Heartland's climate work, please visit:Heartland.orghttps://heartland.org/topics/environment-energy/Climate Realismhttps://climaterealism.com/Climate at a Glancehttps://climateataglance.com/Heartland's The Climate Realism Showhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgnnPnL9OL7GMaxssP3-ScgN9PVOjl5sq In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

They chat about the deeply contradictory nature of the history of the Communist Party USA, the history of the American far left, and how the Bolshevik Revolution skewed the American far left. They also discuss CPUSA’s unwavering faith in the Soviet Union, how many American communists became involved in espionage on behalf of the USSR, and the organization’s decline into political irrelevance.

Hurricane Helene will go down as one of the most-significant natural disasters (so far) in US History, and certainly of the 21st century. While the Florida panhandle was walloped when it made landfall, the storm did most of its shocking damage far from shore in the Appalachian Mountains of eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina. Entire towns were wiped clean off the surface of the earth and close to 200 lost their lives. The storm was bad, but the media has been spreading myths about both the flooding’s historic nature, and the causes of that flooding. Human-caused “climate change” had nothing to do with it, as The Climate Realism Show crew and special guest Joe Bastardi will explain. Bastardi, chief forecaster for WeatherBELL Analytics, is one of America’s leading hurricane experts and historians, and we are thrilled to welcome him back to the show.The Heartland Institute’s H. Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including how badly EVs and hurricanes mix, who is funding the pernicious climate alarm narrative globally, whether humans can “steer” hurricanes, and more.

Heartland’s Tim Benson is joined by Sean McMeekin, Francis Flournoy Professor of European History and Culture at Bard College, to discuss his new book, To Overthrow the World: The Rise and Fall and Rise of Communism. They chat about the evolution of Communism from a seductive ideal of a classless society into the ruling doctrine of tyrannical regimes. They also discuss communism’s unpopularity as a political form, yet it’s endurance as an ideology.Get the book here: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/sean-mcmeekin/to-overthrow-the-world/9781541601963/?lens=basic-booksShow Notes:The New Criterion: Gary Saul Morson – “The red star returns”https://newcriterion.com/article/the-red-star-returns/Washington Free Beacon: Harvey Klehr – “The Struggle To Contain Communism … in One Book”https://freebeacon.com/culture/the-struggle-to-contain-communism-in-one-book/ In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

Dr. Larry Arnn, president of Hillsdale college, accepts the Heartland Liberty Prize at The Heartland Institute's 40th Anniversary Benefit Dinner at the Hilton Chicago on September 13, 2024.The very definition of a liberty society, Dr. Arnn said, is for people to choose how to live their lives and organize in the ways they see fit. The growth of the size and power of government — especially the federal government — makes that increasingly difficult in modern America. So-called independent federal agencies keep growing and keep making laws without the consent of the governed.Elections in the United States are manipulated now in ways we have never seen, and even beyond any other Western nation.The Heartland Institute is important because it stands up for the people. And the people are losing control of their government, and government is the most dangerous earthy power.Dr. Arnn also talked about how COVID lockdown policies threatened to shut down Hillsdale College. And since those at Hillsdale know something about the Constitution, they fought back — against a Michigan governor forbid the selling of garden equipment, but permit seeds; permit canoeing and forbid power-boating. The shutdowns were illegal, so Dr. Arnn said: "OK. We're Americans. We will not obey."Dr. Arnn closed his speech with: "I believe, having studied it all my life, that we may be losing control of our government. We may live in a despotism. If we do, we can be the ones — Heartland, each of you — we can leave a record, so in the future, when it comes, someone can look back and say, 'You know, they knew it was wrong, even then. And that is a service to our country." In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

It’s climate week in New York City, yet another expensive and carbon-intensive gathering of global chicken littles clucking about the end of the world. More than 6,000 attendees from more than 100 countries converged on the Big Apple to coincide with the United Nations General Assembly Meeting, all the better to coordinate efforts to stop climate change by taking your freedom and money. But is Climate Week losing its cache and are there cracks in support for achieving goals like Net Zero?The Heartland Institute’s H. Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will investigate on Episode #128 of The Climate Realism Show. We will also cover Hurricane Helene, how foolish it would be to have an electric car in the path of that storm, the United Kingdom depending on the same kinds of flawed temperature stations the US does, how climate change is not threatening your daily cup of coffee, and more.

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and H. Sterling Burnett present episode 466 of the In The Tank Podcast. Surprising news dropped earlier this week when Microsoft announced a partnership that would see the reopening of the 3-Mile Island Nuclear Plant. Despite the history of the plant suffering a partial nuclear meltdown back in 1979, Microsoft is so desperate for a source of reliable energy they are moving forward with this plan. What does this reveal about the state of big tech companies and their energy needs? What does this story show in regards to America's future energy composition? The ITT crew talks about all this and more on this week's episode.Microsoft To Reopen 3-Mile Island Reuters - Microsoft may pay Constellation premium in Three Mile Island power agreement, Jefferies says (Sept 23)https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/microsoft-may-pay-constellation-premium-three-mile-island-power-agreement-2024-09-23/Bloomberg - Microsoft's Three Mile Island Deal Is Great Newshttps://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-09-24/microsoft-s-three-mile-island-nuclear-deal-is-great-news-for-climate-ai Big Tech and the Need for Reliable EnergyTom's Hardware - AI GPU bottleneck has eased, but now power will constrain AI growth warns Zuckerberghttps://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/ai-gpu-bottleneck-has-eased-but-now-power-will-constrain-ai-growth-warns-zuckerbergNYP - OpenAI pitches Biden admin on need for massive data centers — that use as much power as a major cityhttps://nypost.com/2024/09/25/business/openai-pitches-biden-admin-on-need-to-build-massive-ai-data-centers/Zero Hedge - Blackrock's Larry Fink Jumps On "Next AI Trade", Warning World Will Be "Short Power"https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/blackrocks-larry-fink-jumps-next-ai-trade-warning-world-will-be-short-power America's Future Energy CompositionWIRED - The AI Boom Is Raising Hopes of a Nuclear Comebackhttps://www.wired.com/story/the-ai-boom-is-raising-hopes-of-a-nuclear-comeback/ 39 Days Until the ElectionCNN - Young voter voices: This college student is skeptical of Harris being a change candidate on economyhttps://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-harris-presidential-election-09-25-24/index.html In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

Heartland’s Tim Benson is joined by Spencer D. Bakich, Professor of International Studies and Director of the National Security Program at the Virginia Military Institute, and Senior Fellow at the University of Virginia's Miller Center, to discuss his new book, The Gulf War: George H. W. Bush and American Grand Strategy in the Post-Cold War Era. They chat about how Bush fashioned a grand strategy to bring about a New World Order designed to transform international politics by focusing on great power cooperation through the United Nations, how Bush’s strategic beliefs oriented American statecraft in peace and war, and how the war’s outcome exposed faulty assumptions about the international system that underpinned that strategy.Get the book here: https://kansaspress.ku.edu/9780700636884/the-gulf-war/ In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

The United Nations' climate confab (COP 29) in Azerbaijan, of all places, will convene less than a week after America's presidential election. It will be pretty glum gathering if Donald Trump returns to the White House. The jet-setting climate bureaucrats may be putting on a brave face claiming that "global climate action" isn't dependent on who sits in the White House, but it's easy to believe that they are already having nightmares. What would Trump's election do to the global climate agenda? The Heartland Institute's H. Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, James Taylor, and Jim Lakely discuss on Episode #127 of The Climate Realism Show. As usual, we also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week.

We are back after taking a week off while preparing for Heartland's 40th Anniversary Benefit Dinner and we have a lot of news to cover.

Heartland’s Tim Benson is joined by Tevi Troy, Senior Fellow at the Bipartisan Policy Center, Senior Scholar at Yeshiva University’s Straus Center, and a Visiting Fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, to discuss his new book, The Power and the Money: The Epic Clashes Between Commanders in Chief and Titans of Industry. They chat about how the vast reach of the federal government became a critical fact of life for every business, how companies find themselves navigating a competitive landscape defined by stringent regulations, and how CEOs must influence the legislative and regulatory system.

Heartland’s Tim Benson is joined by Nick Lloyd, Professor of Modern Warfare at King’s College London, to discuss his new book, The Eastern Front: A History of the Great War, 1914-1918. They chat about the scale of the conflict, how the most radical aspect of the struggle in the east was that the violence was not confined to combatants, and how the repercussions of the war in the east, including the fall of three great empires and the rise of Bolshevism, were much more profound than the war in the west.Get the book here: https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324092711Show Notes:Financial Times: Margaret MacMillan – “The Eastern Front by Nick Lloyd — truth bombs”https://www.ft.com/content/8e29eba7-a91a-40a6-a5e5-47369a7c70ebLiterary Review: Jonathan Boff – “Graveyard of Empires”https://literaryreview.co.uk/graveyard-of-empiresThe Spectator: Tessa Dunlop – “The horrors of the Eastern Front”https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-horrors-of-the-eastern-front/The Telegraph: Simon Heffer – “How the carnage on the Eastern Front transformed the First World War”https://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/non-fiction/review-eastern-front-nick-lloyd/The Times: Dominic Sandbrook – “The Eastern Front by Nick Lloyd review: a fresh take on the First World War” https://www.thetimes.com/culture/article/the-eastern-front-a-history-of-the-first-world-war-nick-lloyd-review-fm2z0kkznTimes Literary Supplement: Hew Strachan – “Suicide of empires”https://www.the-tls.co.uk/history/twentieth-century-onwards-history/the-eastern-front-nick-lloyd-book-review-hew-strachanThe Wall Street Journal: William Anthony Hay – “‘The Eastern Front’ Review: The Battle Far From the Trenches”https://www.wsj.com/arts-culture/books/the-eastern-front-review-the-battle-far-from-the-trenches-e09b3580 In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will have their first and probably only debate on Tuesday. Climate is likely to come up as a debate topic, after not being emphasized for a while. How should Trump handle this topic? We have some tips for him to win “bigly” on climate and energy policy.On The Heartland Institute’s Episode #126 of The Climate Realism Show, H. Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will also review the “Crazy Climate News of the Week,” including the idea that logging forests would make wildfires worse, climate change causing bridges to “fall apart like Tinkertoys, and NOAA being called out for pushing a false climate alarmist narrative.

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 464 of the In The Tank Podcast. This week, the ITT crew is discussing a handful of stories that revolve around some of the world's most authoritarian socialist rulers. From Brazilian President Lula going after Elon Musk and Twitter to North Korean Dictator Kim Jung Un purging government officials, it seems we are at a time when the world's socialists are desperately clinging to power. What common links can be found between these stories? And what do these events tell us about socialism in general?PRIMARY TOPIC - World's Socialists Desperately Clinging to Power Fox News - Venezuelan dictator deploys bizarre distraction as country remains in turmoil after electionhttps://www.foxnews.com/world/venezuelan-dictator-deploys-bizarre-distraction-country-remains-turmoil-election The Blaze - Elon Musk torches Democrats after former DNC leader praises suppression of free speech in Brazilhttps://www.theblaze.com/news/ellison-free-speech-brazil-musk The Blaze - Globalists push to have Elon Musk arrested as global assault on free speech kicks into overdrivehttps://www.theblaze.com/return/globalists-push-to-have-elon-musk-arrested-as-global-assault-on-free-speech-kicks-into-overdrive Daily Wire - Brazil’s Crackdown On X Should Be Warning Sign For All Americans, Legal Group Warnshttps://www.dailywire.com/news/brazils-crackdown-on-x-should-be-warning-sign-for-all-americans-legal-group-warns Fox News - North Korea’s Kim Jong Un reportedly ordered dozens of officials executed after deadly floodshttps://www.foxnews.com/world/north-koreas-kim-jong-un-reportedly-ordered-dozens-officials-executed-after-deadly-floods Daily Mail - Kamala Harris goes to 'debate camp': Insiders reveal where VP's preparation is already going 'sideways' as she gets ready for primetime Trump showdownhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13812237/kamala-harris-debate-donald-trump-prepare.html WaPo - Harris to hold final days of debate prep in Pennsylvaniahttps://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/2024/09/03/2024-election-campaign-updates-harris-trump/ In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

Heartland’s Tim Benson is joined by Michel Paradis, fellow at the Center on National Security and the National Institute for Military Justice and lecture in law at Columbia Law School, to discuss his new book, The Light of Battle: Eisenhower, D-Day, and the Birth of the American Superpower. They chat about how Eisenhower’s rise both reflected and was integral to America’s rise as a global superpower, his unique facility as a teambuilder, and just what exactly was on the line with Operation Overlord.Get the book here: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-light-of-battle-michel-paradis?variant=41106434326562Show Notes:Wall Street Journal: Paul Kennedy – “‘The Light of Battle’ Review: Eisenhower’s Road to Normandy”https://www.wsj.com/arts-culture/books/the-light-of-battle-review-eisenhowers-road-to-normandy-55a76a2f In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

One could pin the birth of the modern environmental movement to the early 20th century when Theodore Roosevelt’s love of nature led to the creation of America’s beautiful national parks, the preservation of land for future generations, and the beginning of a genuine effort to clean our land, water, and air. That agenda, which enjoyed broad support, has since given way to a professional “climate movement” that is obsessed with carbon dioxide emissions and addicted to gloom and doom messaging with little grounding in science.On The Heartland Institute’s Episode #125 of The Climate Realism Show, we bring back guest Matthew Wielicki, an “earth science professor-in-exile” to talk about how and why a conservationist movement morphed into endless and ever-louder climate hysteria. Heartland’s Jim Lakely, Anthony Watts, and Linnea Lueken will also review the “Crazy Climate News of the Week,” including a new video game where you shoot “climate deniers,” a leftist publication wondering if it is time for the climate movement and media to end its obsession with stopping “climate misinformation” from being spoken, and how your refrigerator is really just a luxury that you should give up to save the planet.
