0:00.0 | We are following an absolute avalanche of breaking news tonight that seems to happen on Fridays for some reason, and we're going to try to get to all of it. |
0:09.0 | Tonight, Kilmorrow-Berger-Garcia is back in the United States to face criminal charges in a U.S. court. |
0:14.0 | The administration filed an indictment of a Brigo-Garcia under seal more than two weeks ago, but they have just decided to release it tonight. |
0:22.8 | Gee, I wonder why. We're going to talk a lot more about that later in the show with the attorney |
0:27.4 | representing his wife and family. But we also have some other breaking news to get to tonight |
0:32.3 | out of the Supreme Court that could have impacts on everyone. Because late today in the decision split along ideological lines, |

1:54.5 | I mean, this Social Security news may seem like a dry story about access to data, but it is a huge freaking deal and will continue to |
