Adam’s Opening Statement: Accountability Is The Core
Worth noting: Alex Soros taking over from George Soros. He’s 37 and clearly progressive. So, ya know, for any GOP folks who listen to us just a reminder we have no Soros funding sorry to disappoint. But to Alex Soros… adam@heartlandpod.com is the place to start

True or false
National GOP house caucus is about to go full blown Missouri GOP dysfunction and McCarthy is going to lose the seat. True, or False?
Missouri GOP conservative caucus has been behaving for multiple years just like this freedom caucus in DC - hamstring basic legislation, going after culture issues and dragging down basic governance for years.
Example - from Washington Times story:
“As part of that effort, Mr. McCarthy has agreed to bring to the floor this week legislation to roll back a new rule by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on pistol braces.”
