In The Tank

Conservatives often point at socialism and more or less leave the argument at "these guys are crazy!" -- But the DSA do point to some real problems, like the cost of medical care, how big companies can run roughshod over ordinary Americans, and that public infrastructure is failing in our cities as well as rural communities. But socialist solutions from Medicare for All to eating the rich will only exacerbate those problems, not solve them. We talk about actual solutions, and why socialism fails.
Meanwhile, inflation is falling, which is good, but how long can it last? What should the government do (if anything) to keep inflation down?
On UNHINGED: DSA leadership really does hate America, from its very foundation.
And for America @ 250, we look at how the London newspapers reacted to the Declaration, and we'll see that politically-driven fake news is not a modern phenomenon.
The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Chris Talgo, and S.T. Karnick, will talk about all of this and more on Episode #548 of the In The Tank Podcast.

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.

4. USA @250: Colonial Quarantine
https://academic.oup.com/milmed/artic...

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. Karnick will talk about all of this and more on Episode #546 of the In The Tank Podcast.

4. USA @250: PA's First VERY Democratic Constitution
https://teachingamericanhistory.org/d...

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.

Trump is refusing to sign the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act unless lawmakers first pass the SAVE AMERICA Act, which Trump says is far more important. There is a lot of skepticism about whether or not the now-hostage Housing Act is a good idea anyway, the panel discusses the nuances. On another issue, Trump has also said that the administration is working on a National Right to Carry bill, but again, there are potential issues down the road from this approach. Gun rights advocates say its a step in the right direction, but doesn't affirm Constitutional rights to bear arms strongly enough to end state-level infringements.
For our Countdown to 250, we discuss this week in 1776, how colonies were feeling about breaking from the British in the week leading up to the Declaration of Independence.
And on UNHINGED: New York City Congressional elections have been swept by socialist candidates, they are far more extreme than anyone Democrats have ever platformed.
The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and S.T. Karnick will talk about all of this and more on Episode #542 of the In The Tank Podcast.
