Hosted by Chuck Todd, this podcast offers insightful and thought-provoking discussions on current issues and events.

The selection of guests and panelists adds depth to the discussions, ensuring a well-rounded perspective. Overall, the podcast provides a platform for meaningful conversation about core principles and their impact on society.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is Chuck Todd's ability to present larger themes without bias.

    Welcome to “Here's the Scoop: Supreme Court Edition.” This month, NBC News senior legal correspondent Laura Jarrett will be speaking with legal experts and lawyers to discuss the cases being argued this term — and the legal precedents that underpin them. First up: birthright citizenship. On the first day of his second term in office, President Donald Trump issued an executive order saying birthright citizenship does not apply to the children of undocumented immigrants, arguing they are not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States. In making its case, the administration has revived arguments from 1898 made in United States v. Wong Kim Ark. A descendant of Wong Kim Ark reflects on the threat to his family's legacy, and then University of New Hampshire history professor Lucy Salyer analyzes why the administration is relying on a century-old argument to make its case today.
