| 0:00.0 | The Supreme Court makes another brazen move in favor of the Republicans. |
| 0:04.5 | And I've got three interviews. |
| 0:06.0 | Tennessee State Representative Justin Joan discusses the return of Jim Crow politics to the |
| 0:10.0 | South. |
| 0:11.0 | Pilate of America co-host Tommy Vitor talks about Trump's secret death note and legal analyst |
| 0:15.4 | Adam Klassfeld discusses Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS. |
| 0:19.5 | I'm Brian Tyler Cohen and you're listening to No |
| 0:21.1 | Lie. There was one last avenue that Democrats could employ to get the U.S. Supreme Court |
| 0:28.0 | to halt the ruling by the Virginia Supreme Court blocking the referendum redrawing the maps |
| 0:32.4 | from going into effect. The argument was that the Supreme Court should issue an emergency stay to allow the new maps to go into effect immediately while court proceedings continue to avoid irreparable harm. |

| 1:17.1 | avenues. So the decision not to allow the new maps will stand, at least for this cycle. I don't |
| 1:22.2 | have any doubt that it will be sorted for 2028, but for this cycle, Democrats have to compete with |
| 1:27.0 | the existing maps. Now, I should note |
| 1:29.2 | that Republicans currently occupy two congressional seats that Kamala Harris won in 2024, and a third |
| 1:34.3 | seat that she just barely lost. So if Democrats overperform this cycle, which obviously they're expected |
| 1:39.8 | to do, I do think that there's a world where Democrats flip three seats in Virginia anyway, even |
