Four decades, three murders, and one very rich man who refused to speak until now.

The Jinks airs Sundays at 8, only on HBO.

Hello and welcome to the Slate Political Gab Festest for March 5th, 2015, the HDR22 at Clinton email.com edition. I'm David Plotz of Atlas of Secura in Washington, D.C. In the midst

of a snowstorm. The snowstorm has caused chaos throughout the East Coast, and of course it has caused chaos even within

our small Gap Fest universe. We have Emily Bazelon who joins us manfully, womanfully, pridefully

from a phone in New Haven. Hello, Emily. Not from her studio. I am too nervous to go drive

right now because there's really like a lot of snow outside my window. It's very beautiful and yet I am so tired of it.

You know, driving around here has just turned into a game of chicken because many two-way streets

are actually only wide enough to be one-way streets because there are these mountains of rock

formation ice piled up along the sides and it is just so tedious and dangerous also. So that was Emily.

The third voice you'll hear on this podcast is none. We don't have John today. John scheduling,

snow, snow, scheduling. And so it's going to be a special two-person show. John is in Iowa and everything went topsy-turvy.

And if you really love him, you'll just stop listening right now, right?

No, no, they should listen so they can realize just how much they love, really only love the show because John was on it.

On this week's Gap Fest, we will talk about Bibi Netanya,'s big speech to Congress. Did it work? Then the Hillary Clinton email fiasco. Is it a big deal? And then Emily, will King versus Burwell us on the Obamacare case at the Supreme Court? She'll tell us all the inside dope about that case and where it looks to be heading. We'll have cocktail chatter.

I guess we really have to do great cocktail chatters, Emily. There'd be no John cocktail chatter.

And in Slate Plus, another Bazelon special, we'll talk about the Alabama Supreme Court's bizarre decision to stop gay marriage in that state.

First, before we get to the show, just one more announcement about our live show.
