The "experts" are still trying to rewrite the narrative on the government response to COVID, and one of President Trump's picks supports the questionable PRO Act. Meanwhile, VP Vance had strong words for the Orwellian language controls in Germany, and DOGE continues to uncover corrupt and wasteful government spending.
The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo will discuss all of this and more on this episode of the In The Tank podcast.

President Trump has struck the Biden administration’s climate and energy policy like a hurricane – from increasing energy exploration and extraction, to letting 1,000 employees at the Environmental Protection Agency know they could be fired at any time, to taking all mentions of climate change from the website of the Department of Agriculture, and more. But what will be the Trump Effect on the global climate agenda? Will the dedication to reorder the economies and societies of the world to “save the planet” being to crumble? And if so, which country will give up first?

Carefully constructed narratives and funding related to public health are being re-evaluated by this new administration, bringing sunlight to disinfect a contaminated NIH. Critics of President Trump and DOGE claim that Trump's actions represent a Constitutional crisis, Politico finally admits that Democrats were wrong to claim the economy was great under Biden, and RFK's confirmation process continues amid significant pushback.
The Heartland Institute’s Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and special guest Bonner Cohen, senior fellow with the National Center for Public Policy Research, will cover all of this and more on this episode of the In The Tank podcast.

The Trump administration's efforts to dismantle the status quo continue, causing the right people to worry about their next paychecks. Nations around the world are coming to the negotiation table on subjects no one thought they would, while some very unstable individuals are attempting to incite violence in retaliation against Trump's efforts.
The Heartland Institute’s Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and special guest Phil Kerpen, president of American Commitment and Unleash Prosperity, as we dig into these subjects, with a special focus on Elon Musk's DOGE and how one simple funding freeze and a little audit is making the entire deep state panic, while waking average Americans up to the true extent of wasteful government spending via groups like USAID.

Stopping Socialism is a website devoted to informing the world about the dangers, including the moral dangers, associated with socialism, communism, and other forms of collectivism. It is our belief that socialism, even when implemented exactly as its adherents want, inevitably leads to economic chaos, rampant poverty, and tyranny.
Stopping Socialism is supported and promoted by The Heartland Institute, a national nonprofit think tank headquartered in Arlington Heights, Illinois. The website was founded in 2018 by Justin Haskins and Donald Kendal.
In opposition to collectivist government policies, we support free markets, and we do so for two important reasons: (1) Free markets have been repeatedly shown to produce healthier, happier, safer, and more prosperous societies than those that are governed by bureaucrats, despots, kings, or other forms of tyranny. (2) When government inserts itself into markets, immoral activity inevitably ensues, because governments force people to live their lives in a particular way, often in accordance with the will of the majority. Minorities end up being abused, mistreated, and punished in such systems. At the very least, minorities are often forced to sacrifice their deeply held beliefs to satisfy some wish of the majority. For instance, to advance the goal of universal health care, the Obama administration attempted to force nuns to violate their deeply held religious beliefs by making them pay for contraception and abortion. Mandating people violate their religious beliefs is highly immoral, and it is an essential aspect of any Progressive or socialist governing structure. This is not to say the people who support such systems are themselves evil, only that their ideology necessitates extremely immoral actions on the part of the government.
Socialism can’t solve America’s problems, but it sure can make them a lot worse.
