The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Justin Haskins, and Jim Lakely are joined by Isaac Orr for episode 265 of the In The Tank Podcast.

And they cover the BIGGER NEWS that social media giants Facebook and Twitter were preventing people using their platforms to promote the story to their followers.
