| 0:03.0 | Hello and welcome to the Daily Beans for Friday, July 2, 2021. Today I'll be chatting with Adam |
| 0:32.3 | Cohen from Lawyers for Good Government. We're going to be talking about Joe Manchin and the |
| 0:36.0 | For the People Act and then we have a little bit of the best of the good news. I hope you enjoy it. |
| 0:44.3 | Hey everybody, welcome back. I am happy today to be joined by a vice chairman of the board |
| 0:50.3 | for Lawyers for Good Government. Please welcome Adam Cohen. Adam, how are you? |
