Bill and Phil analyze the Alabama IVF court ruling as part of a broader conservative war on sex, explore the latest in Donald Trump’s ongoing legal troubles, reflect on the state of the Ukraine war on the two year anniversary of Russia’s invasion, and close by asking the hard question of whether the president should be seen eating ice cream.
