Hello there, I'm Chuck Todd. I just got off the meet the press set where we wrapped up interviews with Governor A.

Hutchinson of Arkansas and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York. I'm sitting here now with Garrett Hake.

He's our senior capital Hill correspondent and NBC News, so Garrett...

Well, what a week.

First, I mean, you know, I joked on Friday. I really didn't think we were getting this really on Friday.

No, no, no, no, they're gonna wait till this is a July run, drop and run for the hills type of ruling.

But I joked. I said, yeah, we probably have three shows planned.

And you know, could have led with January 6th, pre-row, could have led with the six, could have led with guns, and then row.

And we got it done two hours today, easy.

Absolutely.

Sometimes we overrate and impact on something in the moment. So let's have that test our son.

Where will we be in two months on the abortion issue?

It's a great question because I think, you know, if you look at it today, I feel like, you know,

if you ask Republicans what their top issues are gonna be, they're gonna talk about the price of gas.

And they still think the economy wins out over this. And to me, like the open question is,

is this the kind of thing that makes democratic voters so furious they cannot wait to get out of the streets and go to the polls?

Or is it the kind of thing that makes them so furious they shut it all off?

That this is like, you know, we've talked in the past on the show about kind of voter exhaustion.

The Democrats felt like they won when they beat Trump in 2020.

This stuff was supposed to be over. And here you have to be furious again.

And I don't know if that's sustainable. I really don't.

You know, it's interesting. My thesis is that we're more likely now to have to a high turn out midterm.
