On this edition of Ally Audio, Noah and Scott talk about the inaugural Northern Nevada Heat Summit, before diving into the details around the recent groundbreaking ruling by the Supreme Court limiting a federal judge’s ability to provide a check on executive orders. It all stems from the interpretation of the 14th Amendment, and it is significant.

Then, contributor Mike Escobar joins the show to talk about a recent profile he did of a local veteran, as part of an ongoing series to highlight the diversity of veteran voices in our region.
