| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Jordan is My Loyer podcast, your favorite source of |
| 0:07.9 | unbiased news and legal analysis. Enjoy the show. The show. Welcome back to the Jordan is my lawyer podcast. |
| 0:20.0 | Happy Tuesday. This episode we're really going to focus on two main stories. |
| 0:27.3 | Both are lawsuits. One is in front of the Supreme Court. The other is a recently filed lawsuit out of Texas. |
| 0:33.0 | I asked you on Instagram which stories you were most interested in. |
| 0:37.0 | These were the two stories that I found most people wanted to hear about. |
| 0:41.0 | So we'll talk about those in depth and then I'll have |
| 0:43.8 | some quick hitters for you. The quick hitters include a presidential election update. |
| 0:48.7 | Trump's immunity claims being denied, a former United States ambassador who was just |
| 0:54.3 | arrested for acting as an agent of Cuba and then the White House saying it's |
| 0:59.2 | running out of money for Ukraine. Those would be today's stories. Before we get into them, let me just |
| 1:03.9 | give you the reminder I give you every episode, which is, if you haven't left me a |

| 1:16.5 | As my legal disclaimer, yes I am a lawyer. No, I am not your lawyer. Without further ado, |
| 1:22.4 | let's get into today's stories. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case called Harrington versus Purdue |
| 1:39.2 | Pharma yesterday. Why is this case important? There's a few reasons. The first reason is because this is one of the most high-profile bankruptcy cases in recent past. A law professor at the University of Chicago called this the biggest bankruptcy case to go to the Supreme Court in 30 or 40 years. |
| 1:56.3 | The second reason this matters is because it'll determine whether the Sackler family who owns Purdue |
| 2:02.3 | Pharma and controlled Purdue Pharma for a very long time |
| 2:05.3 | can be held civilly liable for its role in the opioid epidemic and the third reason this case is important is because it'll |
| 2:14.1 | answer a more broad question of whether bankruptcy law allows a court to |
| 2:20.3 | approve a bankruptcy plan that essentially gets rid of claims brought by third parties without their |
| 2:28.1 | consent. So let's get into this. It'll make more sense as we dive into a bit more detail per usual. |
