Episode Details

Your Heard Tell for Friday, April 22th, 2022, is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida legislature taking aim at Disney as the feud between the governor and the House of Mouse moves from rhetoric to regulation, but beneath the buzzwords and headlines is retaliatory regulation the proper role of government, what would removing the special district designation mean for local government, the state, and the other 1800 special districts in the state of Florida. We work off the writing of our friend Sarah Rumpf in Mediaite who covers the legal, legislative, and policy concerns that could have massive unintended consequences, and also how the national political profile of Governor DeSantis won't help local and state officials clean up the mess knee-jerk legislation could have. Also on the program, the "We Build The Wall" scam comes to the end of the line as two of the ringleaders plead guilty to wire fraud and tax evasion, while Stephen Bannon was granted clemency by former President Donald Trump. We follow up on Sri Lanka, and how the nation that is teetering on the brink of economic collapse has even bigger problems brewing as China once again is poised to use predatory debt to take control of infrastructure and resources as part of the CCP continued expansion of influence. We cover the first-hand account of one of the chef's that went to Poland to work for the World Central Kitchen charity feeding Ukrainian refugees, and detail the very hard work that goes into this vital charity work. All that and more on the Friday edition of Heard Tell.
