Episode Details

Your Heard Tell for Wednesday, April 20th, 2022, is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need on Piers Morgan doing a good, old fashioned work - that's a pro wrestling term for manipulating a situation into appearing to be a conflict where there isn't - with the PR for his Donald Trump interview and getting attention on his new show. IMF and World Bank both are warning about a crisis made worse by Russia's illegal war in Ukraine, and it isn't just the destruction there or the gas and food shortages caused by the conflict; the warning is all the debt developing countries took on during the COVID-19 pandemic might become an opportunity for countries like China to take advantage. Guest Benjamin Ayanian joins to discuss the continuing fall out over the Florida law that has caused so much controversy, what is and isn't in the text, and the sequence of events that lead to yet another outcry and crisis over schools. We talk about how the legislation once again raises issues of who has say over classrooms and curriculum, and the broken partnership between parents, teachers, schools, and students. Benjamin also discusses how Disney has found themselves as the flashpoint for the controversy, and how there's more going on to the fight between Florida, the public, and the House of Mouse than meets the eye. Plus, police in California are playing Disney tunes loudly during interactions with the public, the idea being copywrite claims might keep them from being posted online, we'll talk about yet another attempt by law enforcement to skirt accountability. Also, a story of true grit as a survivor of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing finishes the 2022 race, and all the things that happened between then and now that makes that a true triumph of the human spirit. All that and more on this Thursday edition of Heard Tell.
