Your Heard Tell Show for Wednesday, August 15th, 2023 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by taking the latest Trump indictments from Fulton County, Georgia, and look at the other names - some familar if you've been playing along at home - involved and indicted, and why we need to pay as much attention to their charges and legal machinations as the headlines are dominated by the former president. Our guest is Alan Elrod of The Pulaski Institute who helps use cover the increasing politicization and increased culture warring over adoption. Alan not only wrote about, but appeared on Dr. Phil to discuss, and is himself adopted. We talk about how life is full of contingency, what should define a family, and better policies that are kid and family centered but not giving in to some folks' worst impulses. Plus, we have some advice for those primary candidates that get caught needing to eat on camera.
