Hello and welcome to opening arguments. This is VAPID Response Wednesday. This is the podcast that breaks down law in the news

while we all try to not have a mental breakdown. I'm workshopping that. What do you think? Go with that one.

It's accurate. I'm Thomas. That over there is real life immigration attorney. Matt Cameron,

how are you doing, Matt? Hey, I'm okay, Thomas. I'm having a Monday. As counsel, I am required to quickly read a statement
