Your Heard Tell Show for Wednesday, September 13th, 2023 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by taking perspective of Speaker Kevin McCarthy's announcement about an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, why the timing matters, what it means, and the inevitable ending this latest round of impeachment is going to wind up at. Our friend Sarah Montalbano of the Alaska Policy Forum returns to talk about how American policy on rare earth minerals is not only lagging behind geopolitical foes like China, but putting America's aspirations of a green future at risk with contradictory regulations, misunderstanding the supply chain, and overpromising a green future that is going to require massive amounts of extraction, mining, and processing. We take the beginning of the NFL season to bring some perspective on just how massive the economic and cultural footprint of football has on America, and how the NFL is now much more than just a sport. David McGarry returns to Heard Tell to talk about how we use the internet, how we perceive social media, and how the government is scrambling and flailing at how to regulate and control something they themselves don't seem to understand. David also talks about how our rights don't end at the keyboards and screens, how we should think about protecting our data and online presence, and how politics is always going to play a role in the rapidly changing debate over technology.

All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.
