Heard Tell 4FEB22: Cancer Cabinet, NRA, Hackers, Changing Latino Politics w/guest Mark Yzaguirre

Description
Heard Tell for February 4th, 2022 is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need regarding President Biden announcing the forming of a "Cancer Cabinet" to have a "cancer moonshot" to "end cancer as we know it"...which we sure hope happens, but brings up a recurring issue with the Biden Administration of promising really big things rhetorically, but not being faithful in the little things of effective governing. We talk about some hard numbers regarding the besieged NRA from our friends at The Reload, and how the once mighty organization is yet another example of what happens when there is no accountability within an organization much more than a 2nd Amendment debate. Also, a remarkable story about how North Korea hacked the wrong America - who happened to be a hacker - so he hacked them right back and took down their entire internet from his living room. Guest Mark Yzaguirre, an attorney and writer from Houston, Texas, joins us to talk about the changes and evolution of the Latino voter beyond just the national narratives. He has written about his native Rio Grande Valley which is getting attention for how well Republicans are doing with Latino voters in that area, why that is, what it means going forward, and how sensibilities and environments have far more to do with these voter shifts than just politics and ideology, and how "demographics is destiny" was always bad analysis ignoring what's happening in Latino's everyday lives and experiences. Our ending story is yet example of food being used to help folks out, this time to stranded truck drivers in Montana. That and more on this Friday edition of Heard Tell.
