Tough Talk Podcasters

This episode was recorded on 4/23/26, and after fixing my computer problems, I was finally able to release it to you all.   After hearing a couple of podcasters openly threaten violence, I dove into news about the war with Iran, the UK banning tobacco, police in Wisconsin defending a beagle breeding facility from 1,000 activists, the right turning to Florida to gain more seats, Microsoft offering buyout packages, and Hollywood gathering 4,000 signatures to fight a merger.   Sources: https://www.allsides.com/story/public-health-uk-set-generationally-ban-all-tobacco-products?utm_source=android_app&utm_medium=2.2.1 https://www.allsides.com/story/general-news-police-repel-attempted-activist-raid-beagle-breeding-facility-arrest-26?utm_source=android_app&utm_medium=2.2.1 https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/desantis-plots-end-run-of-florida-law-to-create-more-gop-house-seats/ar-AA21CAdr?uxmode=ruby&ocid=edgdhpruby&pc=HCTS&cvid=69ebdc6e8ab4485e9034648554558aa9&cvpid=a0cffb2467c247a3989b3556e15f1695&ei=17 https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/microsoft-issues-first-ever-employee-buyout-here-s-how-much-employees-might-receive/ar-AA21zmcq?uxmode=ruby&ocid=edgdhpruby&pc=HCTS&cvid=69ebdc6e8ab4485e9034648554558aa9&ei=28 Hollywood petition to block Paramount-Warner Bros. merger tops 4,000 names as Robert De Niro, Sofia Coppola, Holly Hunter and more join the fight Open Letter Opposing the Paramount-Warner Bros.
