Your Heard Tell for Wednesday, November 30th, 2022, is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by once again reviewing the tremendous fraud, waste, and abuse that "do something" legislating during COVID-19 crisis as more investigations show how fraudsters took advantage of unaccoutable governement, and why we are doomed to repeat this fail loop if we don't learn the lesson. We go to West Virginia, which has seen the Mountain State go from a Democratic Party super majority rule to Republican Party super majority control in under 25 years, and yet the state's problems, challenges, and rankings against other states on things like business and education are unchanged, and what lesson we should learn about the narrative that just giving one party power or winning the next election means nothing without good governance. Our guest is Yael Ossowski of Consumer Choice Center, great friend of the program, who joins us to talk about the FTX story and how - while crypto is one facet of this scandal - the real story is how Sam Bankman-Fried and associates have perpetrated one of the biggest frauds in recorded human history. Yael also talks about how the news media is covering the FTX story, what it means for the future for cryptocurrency, what regulation might be coming because of this, and how Washington, D.C. and the EU will be looking to move in going forward. Also, the 11th Circuit has vacated the special master and court intervention into the DOJ's investigation and search warrant and siezure of documents at former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago property, and how Trump playing fast and loose with not only documents but who he has been meeting with at Mar-a-Lago is part and parcel with what whe know about how the former president treats things like the law, the truth, and his own priorities. Plus, a New Zealand sports legend and Olympic gold medal winner passes away, but leaves an amazing legacy when it comes to helping others participate in life and sport with disablitiies like he did.

All that and more on this Friday edition of Heard Tell.

On this Best of Heard Tell, you might have Heard Tell that President Biden has finally revealed his long promised student debt relief proposals. So, we review some of our recent Good Talks regarding student loans and student loan debt forgiveness, and by extension the very high cost of higher education. 

From May of 2022, Attorney and Ordinary Times Senior Editor Em Carpenter gives her personal take and professional opinion on the ongoing student load debt debate, talks about how student loans affected her education and career, and what she thinks about potential forgiveness schemes.

From June of 2022 guest Sean Themea joins Heard Tell to talk about the current talk and schemes surrounding student loan debt. Sean discusses the issues with debt forgiveness, who will and won't benefit from the various plans, and how all the forgiveness in the world won't change the inherent problems in higher education. Sean also discusses the political calculations, and what the reaction to student debt forgiveness might look like

From August 2022 Flavia Nunez joins us to help turn down the noise on the student loans debates over forgiveness, repayment, how the entire system of student financing really works. Flavia brings the focus back to the human aspect of an issue that has become all slogans and buzzwords, explaining from first-hand experience the pressure that is put on first time college students to take financial aid, and how that pressure is not only ramping up but an intregal part of the higher education business model
