What's Old Is New: Seize Property & Give People Free Stuff - In the Tank Episode #538

About this episode

The episode discusses government programs related to property and climate change, highlighting issues of fraud and socialism.

As the Justice Department's war on fraud continues, a new report by City Journal says that California is giving free appliances, including solar panels, to illegal immigrants in the name of fighting climate change. Absurd enough on its face, but something else is very fishy about who exactly is benefitting from the program. Leftists are being irresponsible with other people's money on the other coast as well: in New York City, Mayor Mamdani is openly bragging about his plans to take properties from landlords who own them, and transfer ownership to nebulous "responsible stewards." This is totally unsurprising coming from the socialist mayor, but we will discuss WHY socialists and communists hate private property, and the government schemes that link rent control to redistribution. And for UNHINGED: a progressive podcaster asks the question "what do we do with the Trump supporters once Donald Trump is gone?" The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo and S.T. Karnick will talk about all of this and more on Episode #538 of the In The Tank Podcast. Join us LIVE at every Thursday at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook. Visit our sponsor, Advisor Metals…
