| 0:00.0 | The 11th hour starts now. |
| 0:03.8 | Tonight, the former North Carolina governor and current Senate nominee, Roy Cooper, is here to talk about being the cornerstone of the Democrats' plan to take back the Senate in November. |
| 0:15.0 | Plus, I'll also be joined by Dan Osborne, the wildcard independent candidate in Nebraska, who's got the support of the |
| 0:22.5 | Democrats. |
| 0:23.5 | And tonight's nightlight is the story of a regular person who found the courage to take on |
| 0:28.7 | one of the most powerful, vindictive men in the country and won, and then one again and again. |
| 0:48.5 | It is Monday, June the 29th, 127 days until the midterm elections. |
| 0:56.2 | And today, at the hands of the Supreme Court, Donald Trump lost one tool in his voter suppression arsenal, one personal vendetta, and the ability to freely meddle in the Federal Reserve for now. But he didn't lose |
| 1:02.8 | everything. In one unusual case, he won the kind of sweeping power that is more typically |
| 1:07.6 | held by kings than by presidents. Now, we're going to get into the weeds a little bit here, but stick with me because there |

| 1:30.4 | citing a criminal referral filed against her for the latest thing that all the cool kids are getting charged with these days, mortgage fraud. |
| 1:38.0 | That criminal referral was filed by none other than another guy whose name you'd probably not heard of before a few months ago, |
| 1:45.7 | Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Pulte used his authority as the head |
| 1:52.1 | of a mortgage agency to pull files on people and send them over to the Justice Department. |
| 1:58.0 | And Trump used this particular file as a reason to get rid of Cook, the first and |
| 2:03.0 | only black woman to sit on the Federal Reserve Board. But the Supreme Court said today, not so fast. |
| 2:09.9 | In a five to four ruling, the majority said that Cook can stay on the job while she continues |
| 2:16.3 | to challenge the allegations against her. |
| 2:19.1 | The justices are not saying that she can't be fired. |
