Description
Your Heard Tell for Tuesday, 24 May, 2022 is turning down the noise and getting the information we need on how in this midterm election season the Democratic Party is "listening, but not hearing" what voters are saying about the issues of the day, and Republicans aren't doing much better, as detailed in new writing from our friend Jay Caruso. A Russian diplomat has resigned and has publicly written as to the reason why, become one of the few government officials to publicly come out against Putin's war of aggression against Ukraine, we'll detail what he said in that scathing resignation letter. Our guest today Ben Sears, contributor at Ordinary-Times.com and long time writer about college football helps us turn down the noise on the very public feud and accusations flying between Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban and Texas A&M Coach Jimbo Fisher that has folks once again talking about money and corruption in the college game. The difference now of course, as Ben explains, is the new rules over NILs and how players can now be paid for their image and likeness, and how nothing the coaches are accusing each other of is against the new rules. Also, Ben talks about how the traditional football powers are already starting to flex their muscles with players who have more say than ever before over their careers. Meanwhile, the House Ethics Committee has officially opened investigations into three members of congress, and the names are very familiar as we've made mention of them before on Heard Tell. We take our habit of ending the program on an uplifting note out to Wisconsin and into costume for a local theater company who is using Disney character dress up to promote theater and the arts and raise money for kids programs. All that and more on this Tuesday edition of Heard Tell.
