Episode Details

Your Heard Tell Show for Wednesday, September the 21th, 2022 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern the times we live by going beyond the headlines and debate over the Martha's Vineyard/DC busing of Venezuelan asylum seeker, discussing the 5th Amendment & Donald Trump, why Vladimir Putin's latest move shows fear, and more.We start overseas where Vladimir Putin's forces are in retreat across Ukraine, and in a released speech the dictator of Russia orders reserve forces mobilized and "referendums" on occupied territory, we'll talk about what it means, and what it says about Putin's current position.Our guest Travis Nix returns to the program to push back on some tweeting host Andrew was doing regarding New York AG Letitia James's announced civil suit against former President Donald Trump and family. Travis and Andrew discuss Trump's invoking of his 5th Amendment privileges, AG James's citing of that as proof of wrong doing, the case law differences in civil vs criminal proceeding, and more. Travis also gives his first impressions of the civil case, and talks about how this will be a very long, very complex litigation process. Our guest today is Daniel Chang Contreras who helps us turn down the very loud stories of Martha's Vineyard and other high-profile stunts involving immigrants to get to the people that are actually being moved around here. Daniel and host Andrew talk about the Venezuelanian aspect of this story, why this facet of immigration crisis was very predictable, the legal and moral importance and differences in being asylum seekers, and why this specific people group is being used for such stunts. Daniel also talks about the inherent problems in the immigration system from policy, to law, to incoherent messaging that is the root problems before you get to issues like the southern border, sanctuary cities, and governor's looking to raise their national profiles off the issue. Daniel also talks about how there are some on the right who love to point out the evils of authoritarian communism, but are starting to run the same old playbook of stereotypes and smeers again the actual victims of those regimes like the Venezuelan asylum seekers.All that and more on this Thursday edition of Heard Tell.--------------------Questions, comments, concerns, ideas, or epistles?
