Summary
The conversation covers the ongoing trial involving Stormy Daniels and the implications for Donald Trump's defense lawyers. It also delves into the Supreme Court's immunity case and the potential swing vote of Justice Barrett. The discussion then shifts to voting rights and the challenges posed by the Supreme Court's decisions on the Voting Rights Act and Section 2. The conversation concludes with a focus on the latest trends in Republican efforts to suppress voting and manipulate the electorate. The conversation discusses the efforts by Republicans to pass laws that target people in cities and racial minorities, making it harder for them to vote. These laws also create opportunities for voter intimidation and cheating. Republicans are challenging laws that protect election officials from harassment and intimidation. They are using big data and AI to target voters and challenge their right to vote. The conversation emphasizes the importance of protecting democracy and the need for citizens, lawyers, and politicians to stand up for voting rights.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Jen Rubin, and this is Jen Rubin's Green Room. |
| 0:14.6 | I'm so glad you are back. |
| 0:16.8 | What a day of contrasts. |
| 0:18.9 | As we are sitting here on Tuesday, we had a bit of a split screen or split |
| 0:24.7 | reality, in essence. On one hand, President Biden went to the Capitol, and he gave an impassioned |
| 0:32.5 | speech on anti-Semitism and the Holocaust. And what he was saying is no matter what form it |
| 0:40.3 | takes no matter who is making the comments no matter who is engaged in the activity |

| 0:53.3 | we're a country of laws we're a country of laws. We're a country of inclusion. |
| 0:57.0 | And whatever argument you have, whatever point you want to make, you make it peacefully, you make it respectfully, |

| 1:46.6 | were not. And he said as much. |
| 1:53.6 | So that was one side of the screen. On the other side of the screen, and unfortunately you only hear people talking about it because it's not really on the screen. Donald Trump's New York trial |
| 1:58.2 | is not being televised. But nevertheless, you could have coverage of |
| 2:02.5 | the latest from the New York Business Records falsification case. And who was on the stand today, |
