Turning Down The Violent Rhetoric, Liz Cheney Fatigue, CHIPS Act, Machiavelli, w/ Danielle Zanzalari

Your Heard Tell for Monday, August the 22th, 2022 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern the time we live in by having to explain we we need to be more careful with online and in-person violent rhetoric like we are all 5 years old, since the proiferation of calls for violence in response to politics and curent events isn't just coming from folks online but office holders, commentators, and media personalities as well. Going on a week after she lost her primary by over 30 points, Liz Cheney is dominating political headlines, talking head segments, and think pieces but is the coverage of the soon-to-be fomer congresswoman from Wyoming actually accomplishing anything? Also we have a look at the list of how the Republicans who voted for former President Donald Trump's impeachment are fairing. We'll talk about talking about Liz Cheney way to much. Our guest today is economist Danielle Zanzalari who has worked both in the corporate finance world and also at The Fed before going the academic route to teach and research economic policy. Danielle brings great perspective on the CHIPS Act, abd helps us turns down the noise on whether or not the Big Tech companies like Intel really needed the government to tilt this critical business market even more in their directions. Danielle also walks us through some real life examples of recent note to explain why we should be skeptical about the claims, and billions of dollars in funding, that will go to some of the largest companies in America because of the CHIPS Act. Plus, Danielle talks about how we discuss economics, the ongoing debates over recession/inflation, and what it is really like inside The Fed beyond just the internet buzzwords and slogans. In a clip from the latest Heard Tell Podcast Amanda Griffiths talks about the influence of Machiavelli's writigns and political philosphies on the founding fathers of America. Finally, we highlight a great charity that has people building up folks who just need a good place to lay down. All that and more on this Monday edition of Heard Tell
