Your Heard Tell Show for Thursday, July the 14th is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need on how lagging military recruitment tells us much about society, culture, and especially mistrust in the US Government. The headlines and hospitals are filling up with news of the BA5 COVID varient,we turn to our friend Dr. Michael Siegel to seperate practical concern and precaution with panic and hyperbole. Our guest today is Jakob Puckett who returns to talk energy policy, gas prices, and the plan — or lack there of — to ease increasing concerns the public has about the current crisis. Jakob discusses how the Biden Administration, like the Trump Administration before it, is seeking to use the Defense Production Act and executive orders to try and mitigate costs, but explains how that is not only a bad idea but also no substitute for consistent energy policy. We also talk gas prices, nuclear energy, and the recent Supreme Court decision in WV v EPA. Plus, we update the situation in Sri Lanka where the fleeing president finally resigns by email from Singapore, we’ll have the latest in the crisis…
