Matt Laslo: “Hey, how are you, ma'am? Did you catch that New York Times piece on Justice Roberts on the weekend?”
Susan Collins: “I didn’t.”

Laslo laughs.
SC: “I mean, I know of some people who have read it. I think…”
ML: “Any takeaways from what you heard? Yeah?”

SC: “Yeah.”
ML: “Yeah? Good to see you, ma'am.”
