Summary

It's Hump Day! Sam and Emma speak with Mark Joseph Stern, senior writer at Slate, to discuss the ongoing oral arguments of this current Supreme Court term.

First, Sam runs through updates on the last two weeks heading into US elections, Trump’s fascism, Israel’s indiscriminate offensives on Gaza and Lebanon, election interference, Rudy Giuliani’s legal (and financial) woes, Georgia’s election regulations, the House GOP’s leadership jocky, and Trump’s upcoming Rogan appearance, before diving a little deeper into the moral, humanitarian, and all-around political failure that has been the Biden Administration’s full-scale backing of Israeli genocide. Mark Joseph Stern then joins as he and Sam first unpack the suspicious lack of a major (both in quantity and quality) court load for the final Supreme Court term heading into the 2024 elections, exploring the conservative-majority Court’s active attempt to fade into the background rather than risk making controversial decisions (which they surely would) should they hurt Trump’s chances. Stern then looks to a few major cases that SCOTUS has shunted to after November, first tackling Garland v. VanDerStok’s insane argument over the sale of disassembled munitions (aka Ghost Guns) to skirt background check, serial number, and tracking requirements for arms sellers, why the Court likely won’t make an extreme decision, and how victims of this insanely criminal scheme are already taking action. After expanding on the particular role the extremist Fifth Circuit (Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi) plays in advancing these absurd cases to the Trump-packed Supreme Court, Mark and Sam dive into the potential play the Court might make regarding abortion access nationwide, and look to the potential bolstering of anti-trans healthcare legislation via US v. Skrmetti. They wrap up the interview with DeSantis’ legal battle against Florida’s abortion referendum and the Trump Campaign’s ongoing lawfare to undermine and obstruct ballot tallies come November.

And in the Fun Half: Tim Pool loudly quits one of his shows to become a theoretical family man, Tim Walz discusses the Harris Campaign’s relationship to dipshits like the Cheneys and the Trump Campaign’s relationship to dipshits like Elon Musk, and JD Vance attempts to claim that Donald Trump – the Kleptocrat-in-Chief – isn’t attached to monied interests. Kerry from New York and Sam unpack the relationship between masculinity, maturity, and comedy, MTG and the Trump Campaign start laying the groundwork for election denial (with some help from fair-and-balanced reporting by CBS), and Rudy Giuliani has to turn over practically all of his property to the Georgian election workers he got harassed. Alex from Boston explores some misunderstandings of the pharmaceutical industry, and John Kelly calls Trump a fascist, plus, your calls and IMs!
