The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 374 of the In The Tank Podcast. The ITT crew starts off talking about a new analysis from the Socialism Research Center showing how 90% of candidates endorsed by various socialists groups won election in the 2022 midterms. Then they discuss the ongoing protests that are boiling over in China due, in large part, to the country's strict zero-COVID policies. Also, why is Apple threatening Twitter while seemingly providing cover the Chinese Communist Party?
