| 0:08.0 | Good morning, I'm Taylor Wilson and today is Friday June 14th, 2024. This is the |
| 0:19.4 | excerpt. Today a look at several Supreme Court decisions including one over a widely used |
| 0:27.7 | abortion drug. Plus Biden signs a security agreement with Ukraine what's's it actually mean? And why Trump returned |
| 0:35.1 | to Capitol Hill this week. The Supreme Court yesterday preserved access to |

| 1:35.0 | on the merits, but on what the anti-abortion groups are calling a technicality, |
| 1:36.0 | though it's not clear exactly how a case, a similar case, |
| 1:40.0 | could get back to the court that would survive the same technicality, |
| 1:42.0 | but anti-abortion groups say they're going to keep looking for ways to restrict |
