national rate labor relations board, the entity that basically governs workplace democracy, ensuring workers unionized, half the rights to collective bargaining, for example. there is a big vacancy that can potentially laps over that august recess, when congress is going to be out of town. i'm told union leaders are furious with democratic leadership in congress for what they say is not prioritizing those appointments to these crucial boards, especially on a summer of strikes like you laid out here. we'll see what happens in the coming weeks with this, but if and wilcox turns on the board lapses, that could be in big trouble for the unions who are looking to the board to have their back and all of this. >> all right, julie tsirkin thank you for that report. it is a collision course for the legal system in the presidential election calendar. next, a new take on the decision this week, that is making a lot of heads spin. ♪ ♪ huh, huh, so did their dog roger. ♪ ♪
