and get healthier with golo. week, three major supreme court decisions with far-reaching consequences. one effectively scrapping affirmative action program. someone invalid-ing president biden s student loan debt relief plan. and one clearing the way for businesses, to refuse service to lgbtq plus america. i ll talk about that, how democrats should be fighting back and the politics of pennsylvania with the state s governor, josh shapiro. who s coming up. first, plus law professor and former clerk to judge sonia soda mayer, melissa murray will join us to talk about the impact of the supreme court decisions. and when it comes to the uncertainty now facing billions of college deviants and graduates, education secretary, miguel cardona will talk about the next steps for the biden administration. also ahead this hour, she s the first openly transgender person to ever be elected and serve in the state legislature. i sat down with virginia delegate, danika roem, for this week s week
people just list of what trump had to say about that, if he doesn t exactly know why he s attacking them. it is amazing how strong people feel about that. you see them talking about cutting taxes, talking about transgender, everyone goes crazy. who would ve thought it a go, five years ago they don t know what it was. so what you just heard in that that sounds an awful lot like, and reminiscent of what george wallace, a staunch segregationist once told a newspaper editor. quote, you know i tried to talk about good roads and good schools, and all these things that have been part of my career and no one listens. i began talking about black people and they stomped the floor. so, let s be clear, this is the same ole gop playbook. a cynical ploy to carry the fabric of our society and damage the idea that out of many we are one, all because they want so desperately to regain the white house. coming up, delicate, the first
a much higher approval rating buy multiples of doubt a double to president biden. i know you ve been working closely with the biden administration implementing economic policy and a lot of these bills have passed. but it doesn t appear to be resonating with voters as it relates to his approval rating. why do you think that is? you know,, jan it ll be a binary choice at the end of the day. there will be president biden running for reelection against one of these anti-freedom republican candidates. and when you have that clear binary choice, i think it s safe to probably assume it ll be close in pennsylvania. i mean 2016 was 47,000 votes, i don t think that any sort of breaking news. but i do think at the end of the day president biden s in a strong position to win pennsylvania again. and it s because of not only is he standing up for real freedom. but because he s delivered for the good people of pennsylvania.

lot of people in pennsylvania some help. but what could you realistically do is governor? john, this was a bad week for freedom in this nation. it s a direct effect of our elections back in 2016. elections have consequences. and we all have a responsibility in this country to defend our freedoms, to defend our democracy, and the best way to do that is to show up and vote. sadly, the supreme court i fear over the decades to come will continue to try and restrict our freedoms. and that s why the states are so critically important right now, here in pennsylvania we value real freedom, we protect lgbtq citizens here in this commonwealth, we stand up for our children, we stand up for real freedom, we protect democracy. we ll do everything in our power to make sure that we have a nondiscrimination law on the books that s constitutional and
