Turkey and Israel Normalize Relations, Gas Inflation in Europe and Teacher Shortage in Florida
Tina Desiree Berg, Host of the podcast District 34 and reporter for Status Coup joins the show to talk politics. Republican Liz Cheney is apparently going to try to ride her crushing defeat in the Wyoming primary to a presidential bid. And, they talk about speculation in San Francisco that Nancy Pelosi might resign at the end of this Congress, triggering a snap election that her daughter, with some pretty great name recognition, might actually step into.
Dan Lazare, journalist and writer joins the show to talk about the latest news regarding energy inflation in Europe. The Russian gas giant Gazprom warned today that gas prices in Europe could jump another 60 percent this winter as production continues to fall amid western sanctions. Russian gas exports to the European Union are already down more than 36 percent this year, and wholesale prices are up almost 500 percent in the same period. Finland announced yesterday that it would cut the number of Russian visas that it issues by 90 percent. Exceptions will be made for journalists, dissidents, and activists. The Czech Republic, Poland, Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania are mirroring the Finnish decision, but Germany is refusing to reduce the number of Russian visas.
Bill Ayers, is a longtime educator and activist. He’s a former professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where he held the titles of Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar and where he specialized in teaching social justice, urban educational reform, narrative and interpretive research, and children in trouble with the law. Ayers joins the show to talk about the latest student loan forgiveness program. Then they talk about a new law measure in Florida that would recruit first responders with no teaching degree to work in the field to elevate the severe teacher shortage.
