On this episode of Heard Tell, host Andrew talks with our friend and congressional reporter Eric Garcia who takes us beyond the headlines and inside the halls of Congress. Eric breaks down what Speaker Johnson shutting down the House for August recess really means, how much the "Epstein Files" is really affecting Washington, and how passing the One Big Beautiful Bill exhausted GOP political capital. Plus, the real reason redistricting in Texas is being pushed, what Mamdani's visit to congress means when compared to fellow New Yorker AOC, the "soccer mom" demographic on the political move, GOP spinning the OBBB fallout back home during recess to local media, JD Vance triangulating his 2028 persona and more. Plus, Eric and Andrew remember a lifetime of being fans as Ozzy Osbourne passed away just after taking his final performance bow.All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.Eric's Black Sabbath episode of Political Beatshttps://www.nationalreview.com/podcasts/political-beats/eric-garcia-black-sabbath/--------------------Heard Tell SubStack Free to subscribe, comes right to your inboxhttps://heardtell.substack.com/Questions, comments, concerns, ideas, or epistles?
