Ready?

I was born ready.

It's all pretty depressing.

Welcome to a special emergency podcast.

It's an A.O. Dispod crossover.

I've got David French.

Sure.

I've got Steve Hayes, y'all.

And Steve Hayes, as you know, wasn't even aware until today that we have a legal podcast at the dispatch.

This is his, so Steve, that's the big

news. That's the big reveal for you. What is this? What is this? I don't even know what a crossover is.

It's the flagship of your company. This is the USS advisory opinion, Steve Hayes. That's right.

Oh my gosh. So I just want to explain to listeners what we're going to do and what we're not going to do.

So for A.O. listeners, we are not going to do Supreme Court arguments, the circuit court cases,

and the Federalist Society Convention follow-up stuff that we need to do.

It will happen next week.

Don't worry, regularly scheduled programming.

This is an emergency podcast that will focus on the names that Donald Trump, President

elect, has announced for his cabinet, the process for appointing some of those cabinet members,

and whatever else we may get to about ethics investigations,

resignations, yada, yada, yada. But we're not just going to talk about Matt Gates, of course.

So Steve, I thought I would just run through some of the names since we were together earlier
