Episode Details

Your Heard Tell for Wednesday, 11 May, 2022, is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need on President Biden's most recent comments on inflation and his economic policies and proposals, what is the president's fault, what isn't, and a suggestion to one easy fix to the president's approach that doesn't require congress or anyone else to act. We continue to cover the situation in Sri Lanka where several stories of geopolitics such as the war in Ukraine, China's influence expansion and predatory lending practices, India's national interests, and America's bondholders and currency dominance all are playing tug of war with countries and peoples like in Sri Lanka as the rope. Guest Conor Duffy joins us from Ireland to discuss the historic elections there as Sinn Féin becomes the dominant political party. So, how did that happen, that the long billed "political wing of the IRA" went from being banned in media and investigated and suspected to political power and a generational change 20 years removed from The Troubles? Conor talks the history, the present, and what might be coming next in Ireland, the increasingly chaotic mess in Northern Ireland as the UK's government is focused elsewhere, and whether current events mean the long discussed dream of reunification is closer now that it has been before. Also, we touch on primary voting in West Virginia and Nebraska, and Epic Games uses a court case against a Fortnight cheater to send fund to a very worthy cause. All that and more on this Wednesday edition of Heard Tell.
