- Putin's Blood Gold Network & How Wagner Steals Billions From Africa For The Kremlin w/ David Clement
Your Heard Tell Show is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by going beyond the headlines of what Vladimir Putin and Russia are doing in the world and examining how they help fund everything from the invasion of Ukraine, destruction in Syria, power projection elsewhere, and more. Our friend David Clement returns to Heard Tell as one member of the team of experts that put together The Blood Gold Report: How the Kremlin is using Wagner to launder billions in African gold to talk the network of front companies, mercenaries, strongman regimes, friendly governments, and exploited African peoples that funnel billions of dollars from central Africa to the coffers of the Putin dictatorship. Providing background on what and where Wagner group came from, how the world didn't learn the lessons of Russia in Syria, and the spread of Russian influence and power in Africa gives a better perspective on the event in Russia, Ukraine, and elsewhere. Plus, David explains the usefulness and limits of sanctions, and other methods that might be used to deal with the Blood Gold issue economically, as a geo-political problem, and as the humanitarian disaster Russia is causing.

Your Heard Tell Show is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by talking about how big loud news events like Donald Trump's conviction, Hunter Biden's conviction, and even the disaster that was January 6th all bring wide sweeping reactions but actually show things are holding up pretty good, despite the doomsaying and hand wringing online. The Caitlin Clark story added another twist as she was left off the US Olympic team and the talking heads and social media accounts lost their everloving minds, even though the correct basketball decision wasn't the correct business decision. Host Andrew breaks down his recent writing on "misinformation" further and addresses some of the reaction and pushback. Plus, an example of how just following partisan politics can leave you missing the big picture and really important issues. We end on a good note, with Andrew's beloved West Virginia receiving one of the most prestigious awards in all of food to a very deserving chef.

Our own resident space expert Dr. Michael Siegel returns to Heard Tell to talk about NASA and Boeing's Starliner finally getting a crew off the ground, Space X's Starship going up and coming back in (mostly) one piece, and the inevitable comparisons between the two. Plus, since both missions had issues, Michael discusses from his own experience being on the team that runs a spacecraft mission what it is like to problem solve and issue in space. Plus we talk about the evolution of rockets, the realities of moon and Mars colonization, and the future of space, NASA, and mankind's eternal quest to go to the stars.

Your Heard Tell Show is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by debating the merits of the latest calls for mandatory service with Alex Petropolous, who has been doing media appearances on the subject including a SkyNews segment that received attention. Alex joins us from Brussels, Belgium, as he and host Andrew talk mandatory service vs incentives service, how this plays into the very old game of selling "politics of what's wrong with the youth" to get the votes of the older generation, and how it is indicative of the generation gaps forming as the Baby Boom generation starts to give way to midlife Gen X, Millennials in their 30s/40, and rising generations coming behind them. Plus, Alex gives his thoughts on UK politics, the coming general election, Rishi Sunak, Keir Starmer, and what to watch for between now and when the UK goes to the polls in July.

Your Heard Tell Show is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by talking about the reactions of folks in news media and social media to the Donald Trump verdict in his New York City business records case. Next, the Caitlin Clark coverage as the woman's basketball star transitions from college to the WNBA has become new ground for the unholy union of political/cultural content creators and the always loud sports media world, which means the actual issues like gender, sports, race, and other things are being co-opted by the bad faith grifters when they need to be seriously discussed. Host Andrew talks about the 80th anniversary of D-Day with a personal story from when he was at the 60th anniversary in London in 2004. Plus, India has gone to the polls and elected PM Modi to a third term, and India's rising place in the world politically, culturally, and economically is something to pay attention to. We end on a good note of a young family whose days-old little girl was not only saved by a quick thinking state trooper, but revealed to have much more going on than just an onset of a medical emergency.

We skip all that and turn to Donnel Suggs, Editor-in-Chief of the Atlanta Voice who covers the black community in Atlanta that President Biden was seeking to reach out and campaign to. Donnell explains the background of Morehouse College and why it carries such significance in the black community, the protests and narratives that came from the president's speech and campaign stops, takes us behind the scenes of being in the reporting pool for a presidential visit, and talks the differences between local coverage and national reporters who come just for the big story. Plus, we talk about the importance of local journalism during an election year, ask if the black community is getting talked to or talked at by the campaign, the importance of HBCUs in that community, and how to cover a growing place like Atlanta undergoing generational and rapid change.

Plus, Yael talks about information security, privacy, and what is likely to be the never ending struggle between confidentiality, personal information, and the booming market to monetize both for both the government and private sectors. Also, we talk a bit about AI and the latest Executive Order from the Biden Administration and Yael's latest writings on how regulating something that isn't even properly understood will have vast implications going forward.

Your Heard Tell Show for Thursday, November 9th, 2023 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by talking about the 3rd GOP presidential primary debate as host Andrew reviews the five candidates, what they said, how they behaved, watching the debate with a teenager, and what it all means as Iowa draws near. Our friend Sarah Montalbano of the Alaska Policy Forum returns to Heard Tell to talk the huge potential of small and "micro" nuclear reactors, energy policy, environmental discourse, and how hopes for a bright green future still need to be rooted in practical applications folks can get behind and support. Then, we welcome in Shakira Jackson of Young Voices and CFACT to talk the factions and infighting within conservative circles, role social media plays in political infighting, how "freedom conservatives" differ from the MAGA/"new right" drift of recent years, and how to use history properly in discerning and understanding current events, politics, policy, and the personalities that are driving them.

Your Heard Tell Show for Thursday, November 2nd, 2023 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by talking about how we can use the 2023 election results - and more specifically the coverage there of - to calibrate our news media and social media intact leading up to the 2024 election. Sarah Anderson of R Street Institute returns to Heard Tell talks about her piece in Reason about the SAFER Banker Act and how the devil is in the details with not just legal cannabis, but for the mess ball of federal and state laws and regulation that have to adapt to new laws like marijuana legalization. Host Andrew then talks about how to keep perspective on post-election coverage and analysis, and how while elections keep coming one after the other we can all change our situational awareness of them. Then, Garion Frankel of Young Voices returns to take up the inane online debate between the Trump folks and Ron DeSantis supporters over the Florida governor's boots, lifted or otherwise, and why this is a great microcosm of a lot that is wrong not only with political coverage, but with political followers who eat this sort of nonsense up. We end on a good note, with cans of food being works of art as well as feeding the needy.
