| 0:00.0 | Today we're going to talk about Liz Cheney's official ouster from leadership. Kevin McCarthy |
| 0:05.6 | getting caught trying to play both sides of the coin. My interview with DNC chair Jamie |
| 0:09.5 | Harrison about what they're doing to push back against the spate of voter suppression |
| 0:12.9 | bills across the country and his response to Ted Cruz calling HR1 Jim Crow 2.0 and my |
