0:00.0	Valshi starts now.
0:09.8	Hey, good morning. It's Saturday, June 7th. I'm Ali Velshi, and as we follow the explosive end of the president's alliance with the world's richest man, I'm joined in a moment by perhaps the most, the foremost expert in falling out
0:22.0	with Donald Trump, his one-time personal lawyer, fixer, and importantly confidant, Michael Cohen.
0:27.6	Plus, new developments in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man mistakenly deported to a
0:32.9	Salvadoran megaprism. He's back in the United States, but he's now facing serious criminal charges.
0:38.2	And the Supreme Court just issued rulings on guns, reverse discrimination, religious tax
0:42.4	exemption, and it sided with the president in two lawsuits relating to his made-up job-cutting
0:47.7	agency, Doge. We're going to put the latest moves from the high court into context of a growing

1:25.9	Trump handed Musk, the states are high for all of us.
1:29.7	New reporting from the New York Times based on interviews with more than a dozen people who watched it happen
1:34.0	is that the falling out started last week when the president decided to withdraw Musk's choice from consideration to run NASA
1:41.2	because that candidate, described as a close associate of Musk, had donated to Democratic
1:46.7	campaigns in the past. Now, think about this. Getting a friendly face installed at NASA would be quite
1:52.4	the coup for Musk, considering that his company, SpaceX, has $15 billion in contracts with the agency
1:59.9	already, according to Reuters.
