Episode Details

Heard Tell for Thursday, February 24th, 2022 is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need about the breaking news out of Ukraine of Russia invading overnight. Campaign season is in full swing, and we take the example of Senator Rick Scott's "11 Point Plan to Rescue America" on how these sorts of things are not really about policy but are just attention grabbing devices, and in the small print at the end email list building and fundraising drivers. Also, President Biden has a short list of three potential Supreme Court nominees, all of them - as promised - women of color. Guest Eric Garcia returns to Heard Tell to talk about how some recent headlines and social media trends regarding Latinos should be a lesson that the fastest growing demographic in America is also a very diverse one that stereotypes and political analysis often ignores or glosses over. Also, as a reporter covering congress, Eric gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how we get the news on the goings on on Capitol Hill, what it is really like to interact with lawmakers, some funny and insightful stories about how things work in the halls of power, and what to expect in the upcoming SCOTUS nomination process and GOP leadership fight if Republicans regain control of the House of Representatives. Plus, we talk about a line cook who's battle with cancer has the entire restaurant scene of her town coming together to help her. All that and more on this Thursday Edition of Heard Tell.
