Heard Tell 07FEB22: Pence v Trump, Amir Locke, Veterans Affairs Failing Vets w/guest Ashley Merryman
Published 4 years, 7 months ago
Description
Heard Tell for February 7th, 2022, is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need about the emerging Mike Pence vs Donald Trump feud that is bubbling up with the former Vice President's recent comments. But why is Pence saying that now, and what does it mean for the future. Also, with what we know about the Amir Locke shooting in Minneapolis there are some troubling trends, all-too familiar issues, and the usual running to the pre-established ramparts over policing. We follow up on the story we covered last week about Veterans Affairs and the bureaucracy that is failing our vets, especially older vets who need care the most with author Ashley Merryman. This story is personal to her as she uses the example of her own family member, explains why those stories break through where the statistics do not, and why we have such a bad record of improving things at the VA. Ashley also points out that while government moved heaven and earth with COVID-19 relief, no such measures where taken for veterans even as COVID-19 protocols prevented their care and slowed their applications for benefits. We also talk about how the supply chain is now affected cook books, and a special young lady gets a helping hand from an NFL player. All that and more on this Monday edition of Heard Tell.
