Business Side of Musk/Twitter Saga, Russia Turns Off the Gas, Algorithmic Justice, guest RJ Lehmann

Your Heard Tell for Thursday, April 28th, 2022, is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need on Russia playing their whole card in the crisis created by Putin's war of aggression in Ukraine and shutting off the gas to countries supporting the Ukrainians. We take the example of Poland and their energy czar who has been planning for this very scenario for 20 years, and what lessons the rest of the world could learn about planning ahead, energy independence, and being prepared before the crisis comes. Congressman Madison Cawthorn is not only back in the headlines but starting to drown from the flood of bad press, we'll turn down the noise and explain how this is not just part of a plan by his own party to be rid of the unfit member from North Carolina, but tells us much about the current state of the GOP and how they will be handling other crisis and problematic members of their caucus. Guest RJ Lehman of the International Center for Law and Economics joins to talk about the business side of the Elon Musk/Twitter deal, what lead us to this, and what still needs to happen before the deal is official and closed. We also talk about the specifics and process that these types of business deals involve, and how beneath all the caterwauling in news media and social media about Musk and media companies, the underlying debate over corporations, people, free speech, and regulation is the same debate we've been having already. Also, Senator Ed Markey pushes for "Algorithmic Justice" we will discuss that, plus basketball legend Dick Vitale uses his recent bout with cancer to raise baskets of money for children fighting cancer. All that and more on this Thursday edition of Heard Tell.
