On this episode of Heard Tell, we turn down the noise of the news cycle and get to the information we need on the early days of the new Trump administration from the perspective of congress with congressional reporter and Washington Bureau Chief for The Independent Eric Garcia. Eric takes us behind the scenes and into the hallways of Capitol Hill for how the calendar & previous congress actions are dictating the new congress and the proposed Trump agenda, thoughts on the RFJ, Jr. nomination from the perspective of autism advocacy, good media and good reporters, the long-running congressional politics of Reagan National Airport (DCA) in light of the plane collision with a Blackhawk VIP helicopter, previewing some 2026 senate races like Senator Ossoff in Georgia and Senator Tillis in North Carolina, and Eric meets Babydog and despite host Andrew's warning, fell for the Jim Justice bulldog diversion.
All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.
