Heard Tell

Your Heard Tell Show is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by talking about VP Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are both pitching "no tax on tips" which is bringing bipartisan agreement among lawmakers to do it bipartisan agreement among policy wonks it is a bad idea. We go to the Olympics and talk about how Snoop Dogg being the unofficial official mascot of America in Paris 2024 is a teachable moment on the current culture wars when you remember Tipper Gore and the war against Snoop, rap, and the culture wars "for the children" of the previous generation. Then, we cover the developments in Russia's Ukraine invasion as invaded become invaders and Ukrainian forces push into Kursk. We'll talk about what the objectives and reasons might be, and what it means for the conflict. Meanwhile, after Debby soaked and battered the Atlantic Coast the dumbest thing in all news media reappeared - the live shot of someone out in a hurricane - so we properly mock it with a little help from Greek mythology. Finally, my latest column for The Fayette Tribune talks about the five freedoms of the First Amendment, how we got them, and how we as Americans are very much taking them for granted.

All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.
