All right. I've got to make sure that I stick the landing on this one. I've got Tom Church breathing down my neck.

Welcome back to the Law Talk podcast from the Hoover Institution.

Coming to you, as we always do, from the faculty lounge of the

Epstein & U School of Law, fully accredited and also proud to announce no longer a superfund site.

I'm your host, Troy Seneca, former White House speechwriter, co-founder of Kighton Key Media,

and lowest scoring player in Harlem Globetrotters history. And I am joined,

as always, by the Hansel and Gretel of the conservative legal movement. They are Richard Epstein,

the Peter and Kirsten Bedford Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, the Lawrence A Tisch

Professor of Law at NYU, and senior lecturer at the University of Chicago and John

Yu, visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution, the Emmanuel S. Heller, Professor of Law at the

University of California, Berkeley, and former Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Bush

administration. Fellas, good to be back with you. I want to thank Tom Church for stepping in to guest host,

the emergency edition of the show that you guys did about the Trump indictment.

I wasn't able to make that because I was recovering from a cut rate Mexican cosmetic surgery.

It's gone pretty well.

I'm still unable to perceive the color green, but otherwise it went pretty well.

But Tom, who has now, let's be honest, basically become a vulture, circling the carcass of all my podcast waiting to swoop in.

He did a terrific job.

And you guys did a terrific job.

It was actually fun for me to listen to it for once.

But I should note, there has been another piece of big news while I've been away,

which is that there has been a major birthday in the faculty lounge.
