Michael, thank you very much.

Thanks for having me.

Here's what else you need to know today.

On Thursday, President Trump rescinded the scientific finding that climate change endangers human health and the environment.

In doing so, he gave up the government's authority to regulate greenhouse gases that cause climate change.

The historic move, the subject of yesterday's show, represents a remarkable victory for a small group of conservative activists who have spent years trying to stop America's government-led transition away from fossil fuels toward cleaner forms of energy like solar and wind.

And a federal judge has blocked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth from punishing and demoting Democratic Senator Mark Kelly, a retired U.S.

Navy captain, for participating in a video that called on troops to disobey illegal orders.

The judge ruled that the actions likely violated Kelly's First Amendment rights.

It's the latest setback for a White House determined to punish lawmakers who challenged the president.

This week, a grand jury in Washington also rejected the administration's unusual attempt to indict Kelly and the five other Democratic lawmakers who made the video.

Finally, a programming note.

Tomorrow on the interview, my colleague Lulo Garcia Navarro sits down with Giselle Pellico.

In 2024, Pellico's ex-husband was convicted of both drugging her and arranging for her rape by dozens of men during a trial in France that shocked the world.

Today's episode was produced by Claire Tennis-Getter and Ricky Nowetzki.

It was edited by Rob Zipko and Rachel Quester, contains music by Marion Lozano and Diane Wong, and was engineered by Chris Wood.

That's it for The Daily.

I'm Michael Bilboro.

See you on Sunday.
