Summary
In Glenn's longform weekend podcast he again runs down this week's legal recap. First he discusses the ever changing excuses of Donald Trump when asked about the newly released audio of him sharing classified military documents on Iran. Then, he talks about Trump's former lawyer - Rudy Giuliani - who has reportedly reached a proffer agreement with the D.O.J. Did Rudy flip on Teflon Don for a "Sweetheart Deal"? Next, Glenn unpacks the recent heart-breaking unsound decisions by the Supreme Court: gutting Affirmative Action in colleges; striking down Biden's student-loan plan; and siding with a web designer in a blow to LGBTQ protections. Then winding it up - he gives ideas on what we can do about a corrupt Supreme Court and how we can change the odds in our favor.

| 0:00.0 | It's time for Justice Matters, with former Federal Prosecutor and MSNBC analyst, Glenn Kertner. |
| 0:15.4 | In our long-form weekend podcast, some incredible legal developments in the last few days. |
| 0:20.4 | Here's Glenn. Welcome to our weekend edition of Justice Matters, |
| 0:25.4 | where we spend some time airing out the legal issues of the past week. |
| 0:30.6 | We try to figure out what went right, what went wrong, what's broken, |
| 0:35.0 | how can we go about fixing it. And friends, this past week was a doozy, doozy's a legal term. |
| 0:44.8 | You know, one minute, the Justice Gods give it and the next minute, the Justice Gods take it away. |
| 0:52.8 | You know, there were some really good developments, some important developments, some hopeful |
| 0:57.9 | developments on the accountability front, accountability for Donald Trump and his criminal |
| 1:03.9 | associates. So stay tuned for that. We're going to talk about the good news in just a minute. |
| 1:09.6 | And then there were some truly horrific developments on the Justice front. |
| 1:16.3 | courtesy of a handful of rich, influential, unaccountable American oligarchs |
| 1:24.9 | who sit on the Supreme Court. Among other things, killing affirmative action, |
| 1:32.4 | knocking down the prospects of equal opportunity for minorities, for people of color, |
| 1:38.8 | for our African-American brothers and sisters. And then as I was sitting here preparing to do |
| 1:46.0 | this podcast, I saw yet another opinion come down, sort of sanctioning, endorsing, encouraging, |
| 1:56.2 | discrimination against our LGBTQ brothers and sisters. You know, if you're a person whose religion |
| 2:05.5 | tells you that you must be intolerant of others, well then the Supreme Court says, go ahead and |
| 2:12.2 | discriminate against the LGBTQ community. Our Supreme Court justices are very own American oligarchs. |
| 2:23.8 | Who, let's remember, have put themselves above the law several of them by taking mountains of |
| 2:30.7 | money and benefits and gifts and in kind contributions from billionaire Republican mega donors and |
