I'm Sarah Isgur, that's David French, and we are here with an exciting episode where we will go behind the scenes of The View, where I talked about the Supreme Court in front of a live TV audience, you don't get to say that every day, as well as walk through a new Washington Post story where the headline enraged us. And then we will talk about questions you guys had about Chiles and the conversion therapy case as it applies to abortion, and restrictions on what doctors can say or must say in the context of abortion providers, as well as AI. I mean, how wrong can David be? Like, you guys are so up in arms about this, so let's see if he can answer some of your analogies. Is AI more like Excel, more like Adobe Photoshop? We- you sent them all, and I really appreciate it. And we will continue Circuit Extravaganza, moving now to the Eighth Circuit and the Fourth Circuit. Are you required to have a religious exemption for your vaccine mandate for students in public school? Let's find out on Advisory Opinions. All right, David, uh, we are recording this. I have just wrapped up going on The View. I am still standing. I not only survived, David, I, I had a great time. Yeah. Tell us about it, Sarah. Now, I've watched it, and I thought you did a fantastic job, but, like, give us the flavor, the color, like, the, the play-by-play. The people wanna know.
