Will they ever take their boot off our necks? Philadelphia has reinstated its indoor mask mandate, and other cities and perhaps states run by Democrats are sure to follow. And all for a COVID variant that is weaker (if more contagious) than the previous ones. The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and S.T. Karnick discuss this depressing news in this clip from the In the Tank Podcast -- which is live-streamed here every Thursday at noon CT.

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and Nate Myers present episode 338 of the In The Tank Podcast. On this episode, the ITT crew talks about the idea that the democratic establishment is ready to send Biden and Kamala Harris packing. Also, in light of the brewing energy crisis, rising gas prices, and prolonged supply chain disruptions, it appears as though the ruling class in more interested in preparing us to live with less as opposed to increasing our standard of living.

If the pandemic taught us anything, it showed how critical open debate in science and medicine needs to be. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, as one of the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration, has been one of the most visible and vocal voices against lockdowns and how the world’s focus needed to be on protecting the vulnerable. He discusses why government needs to do to protect free debate in science and medicine. Bhattacharya, a physician and epidemiologist from Stanford University is now a fellow at the Hillsdale College Academy of Science and Freedom, an organization he co-founded with fellow Declaration author Martin Kuldorff, Ph.D., who recently retired from Harvard, and Dr. Scott Atlas, also of Stanford and former COVID–19 advisor in the White House under President Trump. Bhattacharya discusses herd immunity, why it was so ignored during COVID-19, the latest terrorism bulletin from the Department of Homeland Security on “mandate dissent,” the government’s claim that it is a possible triggerfor violence and unrest, and what needs to be done with the nation’s health agencies so they are more responsive to the public.

When Canadian truckers were told they would no longer be allowed to cross the border from the U.S. without showing proof of vaccination, they said “enough!” Tens of thousands of truckers formed the “Freedom Convoy” and converged on Ottawa in protest of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s draconian restrictions enacted in the name of the coronavirus. Supporters waving Canadian flags have braved sub-zero temperatures, cheering them on as they fight for their rights. The group has already raised over $8 million in support. The convoy has received international attention from the likes of Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson, and Jordan Peterson. Plus, the movement may inspire similar convoys in other countries, including the U.S. John-Henry Westen, host of the John-Henry Westen Show, is a citizen and resident of Canada. Westen was in Ottawa to greet and report on the convoy. Lifesite News, of which Westen is the co-founder and editor-in-chief, has provided round the clock coverage of the Freedom Convoy. Westen described the number or outrageous restrictions taking place over the last two years and how the traditional media has essentially ignored them. He describes how he was unable to reach his daughter across the country in nearly 2 years. Westen also explains how Trudeau was able to get re-elected in September and why the Freedom Convoy can be transformative.

Dr. Scott Jensen, a long-time family physician, is a former Minnesota State Senator who is now running for governor. While working as a physician, Dr. Jensen became aware that reporting COVID-19 deaths was done differently than other diseases. Specifically, Dr. Jensen was told to report deaths as “due to COVID,” even if that wasn’t the primary cause. When Dr Jensen reported this to his higher-ups, he was told that a medical board was reviewing his license, which is required to practice medicine. Essentially, he had to stay silent or lose his job. Dr. Jensen decided to go public with this information even though it threatened his career. Now, he’s running for governor in Minnesota. Dr. Jensen joins Heartland’s Samantha Fillmore and Matt Dean to provide his compelling story against bureaucratic injustice. Follow Dr. Jensen on Twitter: @drscottjensen

On November 9, 2021, Goodman Institute for Public Policy Research (https://www.goodmaninstitute.org/) will host the First Annual Goodman Institute Dinner at The Empire Room in Dallas, Texas. It will bring like-minded people together, local and national political and community leaders, for a memorable evening dedicated to the institute's initiative, the Healthcare Contract With America. The evening will begin with a VIP Reception followed by dinner and a special presentation honoring our Texas Governor, Greg Abbott. Special guests include Congressman Pete Sessions, Congressman Van Taylor, and Congressman Chip Roy that will participate in a congressional roundtable on the year ahead. The Dinner will be moderated by HON. Nan Hayworth, M.D. The First Annual Goodman Institute Dinner will highlight the Healthcare Contract With America. This is a series of easy-to-understand reforms that will empower patients and release the power of markets to reduce costs and improve the quality of care. The Contract has been developed with the help of Newt Gingrich, the Heritage Foundation, and representatives of more than 70 think tanks and public policy organizations. Goodman Institute was founded by Dr. John C. Goodman along with some of the nation’s very best scholars. The mission of the Goodman Institute is to find private alternatives to government programs that are not working. Among the many successes, Goodman Institute scholars are responsible for Health Savings Accounts, Roth IRAs, and the ability of seniors to continue working without losing their Social Security benefits. Its tax scholars produced the original design for the corporate tax cuts that became law in 2017.
