Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Muckraig podcast. I'm Jerry 8th, Sexton. I'm here at Nick Housewood. How are we doing? We're doing it. It's a Monday. Let's, uh, we got to talk about some stuff, I think. We got, we got, we got just a barrel of laughs today. Uh, we've got another revelation in the Catholic Church, uh, chronic abuse scandals. We've got the Republicans wanting to bomb Mexico.

We've got billionaire donors with gardens full of dictator statues and Nazi memorabilia.

I mean, for me, that's a, that's a fun day, right? Oh, it's, it's just a murderers row of

things that we all want to talk about, I'm sure.

So, yeah.

Indiscence on murderers.

That's exactly right.

But we have to start today with the first story here.

In Texas, U.S. District Judge Matthew Casmeric, an anti-abortion Trump-appointed judge has overruled a 23-year approval of a drug that is essential

in the medical abortion. He says, quote, the court does not second-guess FDA's decisions

making lightly, but in this case, the FDA acquiesced on its legitimate safety concerns

based on plainly unsound reasoning.

There's a whole lot to unpack here.

But that's, I know the word unprecedented gets thrown around a lot lately, Nick.

But this attack on women's bodily autonomy is just picking up steam.

I mean, you know, listen, it's one thing to have like whatever kind of opposition if it's rooted

in religion or whatever opposition to abortion even as a judge i suppose the people have those

thoughts and are also rated you know confident by the a bar association but it's another one and then

kind of base your whole decision on like lies about

the efficacy of a drug. And that's what's so weird about this thing. And the bigger picture then

will become what's going to become of the FDA, which should have been a body that represented

the government in a way that had the best interest of our citizens at heart and wasn't necessarily influenced
