It’s Climate Week again in New York City. Hollywood celebrities, titans of global industries, high-ranking government officials from around the world, climate justice advocates, and other assorted weirdos are once again raising their voice in unison to make us destroy our economies and do what they say. We will have a look at the goings on and determine if these are the wails of a dying movement, or if they are changing their messaging without letting go of their quest for power.  On Episode 218 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will discuss Climate Week with Tom Harris, executive director of the International Climate Science Coalition in Canada. We will also discuss some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including whether climate lawsuit money is drying up, how climate zealots are coming for your shower time, and an update on the disaster of electric buses.  Join us Friday at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook.

The debate surrounding AI and whether or not (or even how) its development should be regulated is definitely heating up, with a flurry of mostly-Democrats coming out in favor of forcing a development slowdown in order to supposedly prevent a looming AI-apocalypse. Why are leaders from Anthropic saying they agree? Legitimate conspiracy and conspiracy theories abound, and the panel will discuss WHY this is happening, who might be responsible, and what the free market solution is. Also, President Donald Trump is floating the idea of giving every adult in the country $5000... if Republicans win in the midterms. We discuss whether this is a catastrophe, how to make it less catastrophic or even a good idea (difficult to pull off), and whether this is just blatant political bribery that is fundamentally different than other political promises. On UNHINGED: The fervor against the lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial seems to have abruptly died now that everyone found out the juror is a black, Haitian immigrant who votes Republican. And for America @ 250: We go from a confusing defeat at Kip's Bay to a pyrrhic victory at Harlem Heights as the American Revolution fully enters one of its darkest moments, in the loss of New York City. The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and S.T. Karnick, will talk about all of this and more on Episode #552 of the In The Tank Podcast.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin on Monday announced the repeal of an Obama/Biden rule that regulated emissions of greenhouse gases from power plants with the intent to shutter all coal and most natural gas power plants in America. This was a long-time coming and the usual climate doomers are upset. This is huge news, but what does the repeal of the rule really mean for the environment and your wallet.   On Episode 216 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will discuss this news with Steve Milloy, who was on the transition team for EPA in President Trump’s first term. We will also be joined again by Heartland UK/Europe Director Lois Perry to discuss the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including climate change putting African rain summoning sorcerers at risk of being murdered.   Join us Friday at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook.

Net Zero, overall, might be dying in Europe. It’s being rejected by voters in seemingly every election in recent years, and even Democrats here in America don’t talk about it anymore when it used to be a pillar of their platform. So why is something called “Dairy Net Zero,” a green zombie from the Biden administration, still alive in the United States? We will discuss what that is, and why it has to go.  On Episode 216 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely are back LIVE with special guest Samantha Fillmore to cover that story and some other Crazy Climate News of the Week. An Obama economic advisor finally admits what we all knew: green energy mandates make energy more expensive. College football schedules should be adjusted because of climate change? And cleaner air is a good thing … except it causes more global warming.  Join us Friday at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook.

September 11th, 2001, was one of the darkest days in U.S. history. Almost 3,000 Americans died, and it is not a stretch to argue that it changed the course of American life forever. While the lives lost were the worst impact by far, policy decisions made in the aftermath still hurt us today, many of which were foundational for today's powerful surveillance state. The panel will discuss their personal experience with the terror attack, and the bad policy that followed. Also, The Heartland Institute has released an important study ranking states based on how they handle Medicaid. Government is very fond of wasting your money, but some states waste less than others. We look at what the difference is between the top performing states, and the worst. For UNHINGED: One year after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, violence is still being celebrated by the left. It is ugly and vile and we're going to talk about it. And for America  @ 250 - This week in 1776, The United States of America officially gets her name. The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and S.T. Karnick, will talk about all of this and more on Episode #552 of the In The Tank Podcast.

The Heartland Institute President James Taylor joins Andrew Wilkow on The Wilkow Majority to make the free-market case for AI data centers, pushing back on the Chinese Communist Party-linked money fueling many of the activists. Taylor argues that if America goes "low tech," it risks becoming a has-been nation in the race against China, and lays out why brownfield sites, like Newark's abandoned factories, are the smart place to build. He draws a parallel to how the fracking boom transformed poverty-stricken towns in Texas and North Dakota into thriving communities. Taylor also addresses conservative distrust of Big Tech head-on, explaining why Heartland, which has fought tech censorship for years, believes a "trust but verify" approach can secure free speech protections as these companies build out the next era of American infrastructure.

The scenes coming out of Nepal of the glacier collapse and flash flood of mud, ice, and water are horrifying. The amount of devastation is almost hard to fathom, and the landscape is changed forever. Mainstream media outlets are blaming the disaster on climate change, and pointing to human activity warming the globe as the top cause. We will expose the truth. On Episode 214 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Sterling Burnett, Jim Lakely, and special guests Craig Rucker of CFACT and Marlo Lewis will also cover some other Crazy Climate News of the Week. Psychology Today says global warming causes child abuse. The White House is ditching climate doom. And are even the green weenies of Europe giving up climate as a political issue?

One of the biggest tech-related debates right now, which also overlaps with concerns about privacy rights and government overreach, is over new Flock camera systems being used on public and private property. These camera systems are interconnected, in part so police departments can more easily coordinate between jurisdictions to solve crimes... but at what cost? Supporters say it's worth it to stop crime, opponents say it's an invasion of privacy and expansion of the surveillance state. The panel discusses how much is too much, and whether regulations already exist to limit public surveillance. On the other hand, good news! Americans' right to bear arms might soon be restored by a few degrees following the results of a court ruling which said that certain National Firearms Act requirements are unconstitutional and should be void. This might mean that soon, buying suppressors and short barreled rifles, among other NFA regulated devices, may become a lot easier. For UNHINGED: Karen Bass fell for a fake poll's results, which ended up being some kind of weird social experiment. And for America @ 250 - This week in 1776, the invasion of New York City begins. The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and S.T. Karnick, will talk about all of this and more on Episode #549 of the In The Tank Podcast.

California may be only one state, but are its climate regulations effectively becoming national policy? In Episode #212 of The Climate Realism Show, host Andy Singer is joined by Linnea Lueken, Anthony Watts, and H. Sterling Burnett to break down how California’s climate and environmental regulations can affect consumers, businesses, and supply chains far beyond the state’s borders. The main story examines California rules targeting ships docked at the state’s massive ports, along with vehicle and equipment regulations that critics argue function as a “hidden climate tax” on Americans nationwide. With California ports handling a huge share of U.S. imports and the state’s enormous market influencing what manufacturers produce, how much power should one state have to shape the national economy? The panel also digs into several other major climate and energy stories: 🍔 Drive-Thru Climate Ban: Culver City is considering restrictions on new drive-through restaurants, with greenhouse-gas emissions, vehicle idling, air quality, and pedestrian-oriented development among the reasons cited. Is blocking new drive-throughs meaningful climate policy, or regulatory overreach? ⚖️ Climate Chapter Pulled: The National Academies of Sciences temporarily removed a climate-science chapter from the Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence while reviewing concerns about how the chapter was developed and potential conflicts involving people connected to climate litigation. 🔥 Solar Fire Surge: UK fire-service data show incidents involving solar-panel systems increased sharply between 2022 and 2025, significantly faster than the growth in installations. Are subsidies and aggressive deployment targets outpacing installation quality, inspections, and fire-safety standards? 🚢 California’s National Reach: From cargo ships and port infrastructure to cars, engines, and equipment, the panel examines whether California is simply exercising authority granted under federal law or using its economic power to impose de facto national regulations without a national vote.

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.

One of Denmark’s most internationally recognized climate researchers, Dr. Henrik Svensmark, was just sacked from his long-time position at the Technical University of Denmark. Unlike many climate scientists, Svensmark conducted actual science experiments, and his work on the effects cosmic rays and clouds have on the climate was leading edge. He was fired after years of moves that look like they were purposely trying to push him out. What happened? Is it because his work didn’t support the alarmist climate narrative? We will have Dr. Svensmark on the program to get the story directly from him. On Episode 210 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Sterling Burnett, Jim Lakely and Henrik Svensmark will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week.

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.

Wildfires in Canada have become a major story in the US because the smoke from those fires have traveled a very long way, covering the skies of cities in the Upper Midwest as far south as Chicago, over nearly all of Michigan, and to major population centers in the Northeast. Much media coverage blames the fires on human-caused climate change. But what does the actual data say? On Episode 209 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Sterling Burnett, Jim Lakely Heartland UK/Europe’s Lois Perry will debunk some myths about the fire and also talk about other Crazy Climate News of the Week. The UK is poised to turn off people’s heat pumps right when they need them in the cold of winter. Are rolling blackouts coming to the US because of over-reliance on so-called “green” energy?
