Revolutionary War Vet In His Own Words , Putin's African Famine, Hamilton, 4th of July w/ Ben Harris

Your Heard Tell show for Monday, July the 4th, 2022 is turning down the news cycle noise and getting to the information we need on this Independence Day in America. We take some perspective on what the 4th of July means, and use the words of Revolutionary War hero who you should know about to bring perspective on celebrating our freedoms, and how we got them. Also, the long anticipated food shortages caused by Putin's war of aggression in Ukraine is taking hold with horrible consequences in places like Somalia with no sign of relief any time soon. Our guest today, for the second Independence Day in a row, is our friend Ben Harris from the UK. We talk the special relationship between once rivals and now friend on this July 4th, how our two countries histories intertwine, and how our cultures are affecting each others today. We'll also talk the differences in our political systems, some current events and politics, and what the passing of the WW2 generation will mean to both peoples going forward. Also, a long lost - and at one point stolen - letter from Alexander Hamilton is back on display for the first time in decades, and a great story about a very special baseball league round out this 4th of July edition of Heard Tell.
