| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Bill Press Pod Reporter's Roundtable. I'm Jason Dick, editor-in-chief |
| 0:11.0 | at CQ Roll Call, sitting in for Bill. Here in Washington, D.C., it's about 8.30 in the morning on June |
| 0:17.0 | 7th. It was a week of high contrast in politics. On one hand, the 80th anniversary of D-Day reminded the world of the price the Allies paid |
| 0:25.6 | to make sure the forces of evil and fascism would not win World War II. |
| 0:29.6 | It was a moment of poignancy as Europe is gripped in another war with Russia's invasion of Ukraine. |
| 0:35.6 | On the other hand, the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party and its allies |

| 1:21.2 | felony convictions in New York might have on voters. |
| 1:23.9 | Here to discuss these topics and more are three top journalists, Catherine Telly McManas, who covers Congress for Politico. |
| 1:29.6 | Good morning, Catherine. |
| 1:31.1 | Good morning. |
