Videos - The Mainstream Media Calls Out John Kerry's Wild Climate Claims

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Samantha Fillmore are joined by Isaac Orr in episode 280 of the In The Tank Podcast. It seems lately like people who say they are conservative are starting to stray on issues that used to be basic – minimum wage, stimulus payments, and the national debt to name a few. The ITT crew explores this idea, discuss what has caused this, and talks about the path to normalcy (if there is one). Also, they discuss a proposal for the Biden administration to create a “Reality Czar” to police fake news in society – a truly dystopian concept.

If you are a climate activist, you know you are having a bad day when even the leftist Washington Post takes you to task for telling climate-related falsehoods.

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal and Jim Lakely are joined by Isaac Orr in episode 279 of the In The Tank Podcast.

They also discuss President Biden’s moves that put the U.S.’s energy independence in jeopardy.

As recently as 2019, alarmist “studies” claimed ocean currents had declined to their slowest pace in 1,600 years. Read more: https://climateataglance.com/climate-at-a-glance-ocean-currents/
