Hello and welcome to the Bullard podcast.

I'm your host, Tim Miller.

We got a double header for you today.

In segment two, it is, I think, alongside Rocana, the other congressman who has been the most

effective in the opposition for the Democrats in the House this year. And that's Robert Garcia,

the ranking member of the Oversight Committee. So we've much to talk to him about. But first,

my colleague, my buddy, economics editor here at the Bullwark, she writes

the newsletter, Receits, which is published this evening, Thursday evenings. She also co-hosts

MSNows, the weekend prime time. It's Catherine Rampal. What's up, girl? Hey, good to see you.
