China, Mamdani’s Budget Tricks, and AOC’s Billionaire Meltdown — In the Tank Podcast #536

Download MP3
 Trump went to Beijing this week to negotiate the path forward with China, as President Trump's administration has made multiple international moves to cut the CCP off from total control of global resources. China says they want "peaceful coexistence," even as they threaten other US allies in Asia. The panel discusses what we would like to see come out of these talks, and what we expect will happen. 

Meanwhile, socialist mayor of New York City Mamdani claims that he has achieved a balanced budget for the city-- but it comes at the cost of billions from Albany and several short-term band-aids that are unlikely to fix the city's ballooning costs. 

On UNHINGED - AOC says that it's not possible to become a billionaire ethically, demonstrating once again her socialist (mis)understanding of economics. 

The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and S.T. Karnick will talk about all of this and more on Episode #536 of the In The Tank Podcast.
