President Biden & Gas Prices, Selling Out Little League, From Mickey Ds to Space, w/ John W. Miller

Your Heard Tell show for Wednesday, June 15th, 2022 is turning down the news cycle noise and getting to the information we need on President Joe Biden writing an official letter to oil and gas executives over the high price of gasoline and the reduced refinery capacity, but what he should do is review his own words, policies, and leadership. We'll talk about the nearly 50 years of book we have on the president should have informed everyone on how he would perform as president, and how his rhetoric would not be matched with accountability. Meanwhile overseas, Russia is still making more money on their oil and gas exports than it is costing them to conduct their war of aggression against Ukraine, we'll talk about what that means for the conflict, and how it shows the true priorities of countries around the world. Our guest today is journalist and filmaker John W. Miller who returns to Heard Tell to talk about Little League Baseball, and some writing and reporting he has been doing on the subject. John talks about how what was once a community and local tradition has changed to a for-profit model, changing not only how communities do things like sports but changing who can participate. John, who coaches baseball himself, also has some ideas on how to get the game back into the kid and community business, and why things like Little League greatly affect our culture in really important ways. Plus, two uplifting stories; first, how a young woman went form supporting her family by working at McDonalds as a teenager to going into space, and a community in Minneapolis comes together to not only stop an eviction, but buy the home their neighbor had been fighting to keep for 18 years. All that and more on this Wednesday edition of Heard Tell.
