LIVE today AT NOON CT: The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 362 of the In The Tank Podcast. President Joe Biden is seemingly taking on a new “tough guy” persona, judging from his divisive speech last week calling “MAGA Republicans” a “threat to democracy” that are trying to destroy “the very soul of the nation.”
The ITT crew discusses whether this new “Dark Brandon” character is going to lead to an increased push for agenda items during his next two years in office. Will Biden more aggressively push for climate action, or gun control measures, or health care policy?
