Welcome to advisory opinions. I'm Sarah Isger. That's David French. And today we are going to set the table before the biggest argument of the term, the tariffs oral argument that will be held Wednesday morning. We're going to give you all the tools you need to be able to tune into that oral argument live if you want to, or at least to be able to tune into our

0:37.8

live podcast that will follow the oral argument as we break it down with a bunch of friends of the

0:43.5

pod. Think of this like ESPN. We're going to have our, you know, the former quarterback from one of

0:49.1

the teams, sideline reporters, color commentary. Really, A.O, no different than any of the great ESPN shows.

0:58.8

And then we'll talk about some of the reporting about internal dynamics at the court coming from

1:58.4

And then after that, we will do a live podcast that will,

2:02.6

of course, be put out in your regular podcast feed later that day or the next morning. But if you

2:07.9

want to tune in video live, it'll be me, David French, David Latt, and Roman Martinez from

2:14.7

Latham Watkins, breaking it all down with Amy Howe from Skotis blog, of course,

2:19.5

as our sideline reporter, literally from the steps of the Supreme Court as soon as the argument

2:25.0

ends. We anticipate that being around 1230 to 1245 Eastern time on Wednesday, but again,
