Hey folks, big news out of the Supreme Court this week. In a win for Texas, the court

0:06.6

left in place the law that bans most abortions after six weeks of gestation. However, the

0:11.3

court will permit a case brought by abortion providers to proceed in the low records against

0:15.4

a group of Texas medical licensing officials. In other news, former President Trump and

1:18.0

is about Mark Meadows, former member of Congress, former Chief of Staff to President Trump

1:23.0

when he was in office. I guess you could call it a saga, which would be an understatement.

1:29.6

I wondered Joyce, what you think about what the hell is happening. We'll get to the documents

1:33.5

that were produced and everything else. The flimsyness of his executive privilege arguments,

1:38.8

but sometimes it's useful just to understand at a human level why certain people make
