0:00.0	We are live now on the Conversations That Matter podcast. I'm your host, John Harris. Hope you're
0:05.2	having a wonderful Tuesday. And for some of you, at least those who are on the Northeast, you may be
0:10.9	listening to me live during your lunch break. So I hope you enjoy your lunch break. We have some
0:15.7	breaking news that I want to share before we get into all the stories that we have today. And that is that the Supreme
0:22.2	Court has ruled on a key voting rights act rule as Republicans and Democrats wage redistricting
0:29.1	war, this according to Fox News. And this may be a win for the right that will give them as much as 12 to 14, I believe,

1:38.4	key voting rights act provision that restricts how states draw districts affecting minority voters,
1:45.1	constraining states' use of race as a factor when drawing congressional maps ahead of the
