Episode Details

Heard Tell for Thursday, March 17th, 2022, is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need on Ukraine's President Zelensky address the United States Congress and once again calling for a No Fly Zone. We break down why Zelensky is doing the right thing for his country in asking for arms and intervention, and why America and others are right to stop short of a No Fly Zone to support Ukraine. Also, we talk about the Theodore Johnson piece that brings the stats and facts that despite the rhetoric of some on the right Black voters are not only staying with the Democratic Party, but are among the most consistent voting demographics. We'll delve into why that is, what it means, and what lessons both Democrats and Republicans should take and apply. Guest Jericho Hill is back on Heard Tell, and our economist friend helps us cut through the caterwauling over gas prices and inflation to get to what is really going on, who to blame, who gets credit, and which party has the better narrative at the moment. Jericho also helps explain how uncertainty is one of the biggest factors in the current economic situation, how Ukraine is affecting the global economy, and how things like Russian oligarch money parked in sports teams and yachts change the economic calculus. Plus the story of youth caregivers, and how the situation of young people helping to care for elderly, sick, disabled, and others has always been a thing, but in modern times needs addressed, identified, and tracked to get services to those who need it most. All that and more on this Thursday edition of Heard Tell.
