On this Heard Tell Good Talks, our guest RJ Lehman of the International Center for Law and Economics joins to talk about the business side of the Elon Musk/Twitter deal, what lead us to this, and what still needs to happen before the deal is official and closed. We also talk about the specifics and process that these types of business deals involve, and how beneath all the caterwauling in news media and social media about Musk and media companies, the underlying debate over corporations, people, free speech, and regulation is the same debate we've been having already.

Your Heard Tell for Thursday, April 28th, 2022, is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need on Russia playing their whole card in the crisis created by Putin's war of aggression in Ukraine and shutting off the gas to countries supporting the Ukrainians. We take the example of Poland and their energy czar who has been planning for this very scenario for 20 years, and what lessons the rest of the world could learn about planning ahead, energy independence, and being prepared before the crisis comes. Congressman Madison Cawthorn is not only back in the headlines but starting to drown from the flood of bad press, we'll turn down the noise and explain how this is not just part of a plan by his own party to be rid of the unfit member from North Carolina, but tells us much about the current state of the GOP and how they will be handling other crisis and problematic members of their caucus.

Your Heard Tell for Wednesday, April 27th, 2022, is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need on new polling that shows plenty of voters are open to supporting a "moderate, independent presidential candidate" but we contrast that with how folks actually voted in 2020, and are likely to vote again in 2024. The curious case of folks at the height of a COVID-19 outbreak also increasing their complaints to the Yankee Candle Company that their products "didn't have a smell", we'll talk about it as part of our continuing coverage of Long COVID.

Also, President Biden has issues his first batch of pardons and clemencies, but two years into his presidency this move brings criticisms of what took so long, why so few, and whether or not the president will live up to his campaign promises of using his power to give non-violent offenders a clean slate and fresh start. We round out the show by talking about the greatest show on dirt, if you will, and a baseball team that is emphasizing the fun in a time where we could all use it. All that and more on this Wednesday edition of Heard Tell.

Your Heard Tell for Tuesday, April 26th, 2022, is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need on Elon Musk and Twitter agree to terms for the Tesla billionaire to buy the social media platform, but is the caterwauling on the left of the end of free speech, democracy, and the the human race justified, or is the Musk online fans avatar of the moment going to save free speech, Twitter, and solve all the worlds problems...we'll cut through the noise of that. We talk national narratives in the news media, and use some new polling data in West Virginia about Senator Joe Manchin to examine if the last two years of headlines matches what his constituents think.

On this Heard Tell Good Talks, our guest Benjamin Ayanian joins to discuss the continuing fall out over the Florida law that has caused so much controversy, what is and isn't in the text, and the sequence of events that lead to yet another outcry and crisis over schools. We talk about how the legislation once again raises issues of who has say over classrooms and curriculum, and the broken partnership between parents, teachers, schools, and students. Benjamin also discusses how Disney has found themselves as the flashpoint for the controversy, and how there's more going on to the fight between Florida, the public, and the House of Mouse than meets the eye.
