Episode Details

Your Heard Tell for Thursday, December the 22th, 2022, is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by talking about everyone's favorite time of the year...Omnibus Season! Happy omnibus season everyone as once again congress smashes a monster package through at the last minute to solve a crisis they themselves made. We skip narratives surrounding former president Trump and his 2024 campaign and GOP influence by focusing on two things going on right now that will give you an answer to how much control of the Republican Party is coming out of Mar-a-Lago. Economist Alexander Salter returns to the program to talk economic news, how news media covers the confusing and complicated post-COVID economy, answeres whether or not we need to change our terminology and how we discuss economic issues, and explains the differences between outliers and trends. Also, Kelsey Grant from Young Voices returns to Heard Tell to talk about climate legislation from the fights over the Inflation Reduction Act that has lingered into the current omnibus debate, how some on the right and conservatives are fighting the wrong battle, parsing through nomenclature to get to policy, and what is and isn't "the green new deal". Plus, we highlight a Christmas tradition of giving that many places do.All that and more on this Thursday edition of Heard Tell.
