Ready?

I was born ready.

Welcome to Advisory Opinions. I'm Sarah Isger. That's David French. And we've got a real

popery podcast for you today. Attorney General Pam Bondi has been removed from office. Steve

Bannon's conviction looks like it's being tossed out. Oh, right. There's the child's case on conversion

therapy. You didn't think we'd forgotten about that. The Easter message that Donald Trump put out,

praise be to Allah, and its roads and bridges week in Iran. Is that a war crime? And lastly,

exclamation points.

Are they a judicial abomination?

We'll talk about it in the context of the Trump Ballroom case.

And until April 14th, if you are a listener who purchases a copy of Last Branch Standing and you submit your order number as proof of purchase, you will receive 25% off a dispatch annual or

premium membership. That's right. Your podcast will be ad-free from now on. And current

dispatch members will receive one additional month added to their current membership. Just email

members at the dispatch.com with your confirmation number. And you can either get 25% off a dispatch annual or premium membership or extend your membership. David, how exciting is that?

Also, just I want to say, if you don't get on the last branch standing train right now, you're missing out on it's, I just looked it up on Amazon,

number one bestseller in courts and law. So you're going to be sitting at a party and everyone's

going to be talking about last branch standing. And if you haven't read it, I mean, I guess you

enjoy social isolation is the only sort of way to think it through, right? Is that fair? What I'm looking forward to is we get those couples' emails that they like agree to both listen to an episode of advisory opinions to talk about on their first date, you know, through a dating app or whatever. I want to be the like, how am I going to know it's you? I'll have a copy of last branch standing with a daisy

on it or something, you know, a la, you've got male. That's the next story that I want to hear

about love and advisory opinions. You know what I just had? I, I don't know if it's a sketch

comedy or a movie or whatever, but there's this guy and this man and this woman and they're on a date and the guy's like has no confidence. And he's like, you know, I, he just says something along the lines of, you know, I'm a Lord of the Rings nerd. And, you know, I was just thinking about Gandalf the Grey and two towers. And the woman goes, wait, you're wrong.

It's Gandalf the White.
