0:00.0	The following podcast contains explicit language. Hello I'm Josh Levine and this is Slate's sports podcast hang up and Listen for the week of June 24th, 2019.
0:25.0	On this week show, we'll discuss the United States women's national soccer teams
0:29.5	2-1 win over Spain in the knockout round of the Women's World Cup as well
0:34.5	as some other women's world cup happenings. We'll also be joined by former
0:38.2	New Orleans Hornet, Indiana Pacer, and Golden State Warrior David West to talk about Zion Williamson, the
0:44.0	NBA draft, and the historical basketball league, a startup that's offering amateur

1:54.7	Supreme Court and radically reshaped the law. It's been doctrinal rocket fuel for

2:16.5	originalists are on a tear.
2:19.5	But there's something you can do about it, and we hope you'll join us in DC on May 14th to explore the possible
