Summary

Get tickets for the #SistersInLaw Live Show in Denver, Colorado, on 4/23/26 at politicon.com/tour

Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to review the closed-door depositions of Bill and Hillary Clinton in front of the House Oversight Committee, its lack of new revelations, and whether it means Trump will face further scrutiny. Then, the #Sisters discuss the political fights over elections, including Republican attempts to pass the SAVE Act, mediation in Fulton County over its election records, and Trump’s proposed executive order to unilaterally change the voting process. They also examine the battle between the Department of Defense and Anthropic over the use of its AI technology for military and surveillance purposes, and the tension between corporate independence and government dictates.

0:00.0	Welcome back to hashtag sisters-in-law with Jill Wine Banks, Joyce Vance, Kimberly Atkins Store, and me, Barb McQuaid.
0:18.0	We're really excited about our upcoming trip to Colorado. Looking for the blue skies
0:23.5	and the white mountains. Can't wait to be there. We'll be doing a live show in Denver at the
0:28.4	Cervantes masterpiece on April 23rd. Tickets are available now at politicon.com slash tour, and we can't
0:36.6	wait to see you there. We'll have more live shows to
0:39.1	announce very soon as we figure out what cities we're going to travel to. Let us know if you'd
0:43.8	like us to come to your town. Today we'll be discussing the latest fallout with the Epstein
0:48.2	files, the Trump administration's efforts to rig the upcoming election, and what's going on with the Defense Department and
0:56.6	artificial intelligence. But first, I wanted to ask my sisters if they had any interesting
1:03.5	takeaways from this week's State of the Union address. Did you all watch it or did you
1:10.3	read some of the highlights from it?
1:11.9	Any takeaways? Jill, how about you? Well, I watched a large part of it and also followed the
1:19.5	commentary on it. And I guess there's two takeaways. One is the relief I felt when it was over.
1:26.0	Yes. Longest state of the union ever, right? It's like almost
1:28.9	two dollars. Not only longest, but the most lies ever, ever. And then I do have to say that my
1:35.8	ears perked up when he said he had lifted 2.4 million people off food stamps. And he didn't lift
1:44.0	them anywhere. He threw them off. He terminated the program
1:48.1	and shame on the fact checkers who said instead of that that was a blatant lie, that it needed
1:53.4	context. It didn't need context. It was totally untrue. So those were my two most vivid reactions.
2:01.2	You know, Jill has had a varied career, but there's one job she hasn't had, and I think she just made herself the leading candidate for it.
2:08.4	I want Jill as the new New York Times fact checker.
2:11.8	Yes. I would take that job.
