[00:00:00] also uh we are going to uh we're going [00:00:02] to be joined right now by lila rose [00:00:05] she of course is the uh is the head of a [00:00:08] massive pro-life organization [00:00:12] that organization is live action lila's [00:00:14] joining us on the line right now lyla go [00:00:15] for it how are you doing [00:00:17] i'm doing very well ben what a morning [00:00:20] what a day [00:00:21] it's it's uh it's surreal [00:00:25] it is i mean it's an amazing thing as i [00:00:27] was just concluding there you know when [00:00:28] it comes to you know what what happens [00:00:30] next the answer is we get active because [00:00:32] really your job starts now i mean for [00:00:34] for a lot of people a lot of politicians [00:00:35] who promised that they were pro-life [00:00:37] roe vs wade was convenience excuse to [00:00:38] not do very much well now reverse weight [00:00:40] is gone and so now it's actually up to [00:00:41] them to do something [00:00:43] listen this is a historic moment we all [00:00:46] feel it we know it even today there are [00:00:48] abortion clinics closing because of this [00:00:50] decision because of the overruling of [00:00:52] roe v wade so there are children that [00:00:54] were scheduled to be killed today by [00:00:55] abortion that will live instead and by [00:00:58] the end of the day there will likely be [00:00:59] a dozen states where laws will have gone [00:01:01] into effect that protect children and [00:01:04] then there are hundreds of laws on the [00:01:06] books right now [00:01:07] across the country and state by state [00:01:09] that have been stalled because of the [00:01:12] unjust illogical immoral decision of roe [00:01:15] v wade and these laws will now be able [00:01:18] to go into effect in the coming weeks so [00:01:20] this is a tremendous victory it is a [00:01:23] historic moment because children are now [00:01:25] going to have protection in some states [00:01:27] but like you're saying we are just [00:01:29] getting started because to send abortion [00:01:32] as it says they say back to the states [00:01:34] is not justice we should not as a state [00:01:38] whether you're a blue or a red state get [00:01:39] to decide whether children live or die [00:01:42] these are human beings the science is [00:01:43] conclusive human life doesn't begin at [00:01:45] birth it begins before birth at the [00:01:47] moment of fertilization so the supreme [00:01:49] court took a step towards justice but [00:01:52] this isn't full justice yet to say that [00:01:54] the abortion is silent on that the [00:01:56] constitution is silent on abortion and [00:01:58] then states should get to decide whether [00:02:01] these children live or die that's not [00:02:02] justice the reality is the abortion is [00:02:05] the constitution is not silent on [00:02:06] abortion in the 14th amendment it [00:02:09] specifically lays out that states have [00:02:12] to have a have a responsibility to [00:02:14] provide equal protection to their people [00:02:17] that states cannot without due process [00:02:20] deprive anyone of life [00:02:22] liberty or property life and that [00:02:24] includes everyone all human beings [00:02:26] including those those in the womb who [00:02:28] are just as human as you or me so for [00:02:31] states to say if you're a blue state if [00:02:32] i'm [00:02:35] bumping around ben and california is a [00:02:38] very blue state it's very pro-abortion [00:02:40] but they should not have the right to [00:02:42] permit the unfettered killing of [00:02:44] children in the womb so like you're [00:02:46] saying our work is just getting started [00:02:48] we're going to work state by state for [00:02:49] legal protections and then we've got to [00:02:51] do cultural change and we have to keep [00:02:53] on urging the supreme court to take a [00:02:54] final step towards justice here and [00:02:57] assert that there is a constitutional [00:02:59] right to life for all children [00:03:02] yeah that final step it seems i mean [00:03:04] frankly based on the majority opinion [00:03:05] seems unlikely uh mainly because i mean [00:03:07] justice kavanaugh is based i mean he he [00:03:09] writes in his concurrence that that he [00:03:11] believes that any law a state law that [00:03:13] prevented somebody from visiting another [00:03:14] state in order to obtain an abortion [00:03:16] would be presumptively illegal you don't [00:03:18] have a majority opinion on that basis uh [00:03:20] i do have to say that that i'm rather [00:03:22] unsurprised by chief justice roberts's [00:03:23] concurrence which is predictably weak [00:03:25] need and pathetic he basically says that [00:03:27] he concurs in the judgment that [00:03:28] mississippi's law is is okay [00:03:30] constitutionally [00:03:31] but he says he would have created a [00:03:33] brand new standard where a woman would [00:03:35] have a reasonable period to get an [00:03:36] abortion reasonable to be left up to the [00:03:38] ad hoc decision of justices like briar [00:03:40] sotomayor and kagan who would imagine i [00:03:42] would imagine would say reasonable [00:03:43] extends all the way up till five years [00:03:44] past point of birth uh and uh and in his [00:03:46] opinion would be ten weeks or whatever [00:03:49] it is and it just goes to show you yeah [00:03:51] president trump you know and and mitch [00:03:53] mcconnell they got a lot of flack for [00:03:55] not allowing merrick garland to fill the [00:03:57] seat left by justice kennedy uh but that [00:04:00] unwillingness led to this decision today [00:04:02] because one vote short really won i mean [00:04:04] if this had been a 4-4 court i have [00:04:06] serious doubts as to whether justice [00:04:08] roberts would have voted to strike down [00:04:10] roe vs wade at all and if given the [00:04:12] choice between upholding the mississippi [00:04:14] law and striking down roe versus wade or [00:04:17] rejecting the mississippi lineup holding [00:04:18] roe vs wade i have a feeling he would go [00:04:20] on with the latter here [00:04:21] i think you're right ben and i i mean [00:04:23] listen justice roberts has [00:04:25] never been [00:04:26] a hero for the truth on the court and i [00:04:28] think that you know your listeners know [00:04:30] that he has been uh always trying to [00:04:32] create compromises where compromises [00:04:34] shouldn't exist you don't compromise [00:04:36] with someone's right to life you don't [00:04:38] compromise with a fundamental human [00:04:40] right to be born that there is no [00:04:42] compromise and yet like you say there is [00:04:44] a you know some newly meld compromise [00:04:46] here and there but the reality is the [00:04:48] rovi weight is overruled [00:04:50] it's done and this is a huge step [00:04:52] forward and so yes it's not perfect but [00:04:56] it is a huge step forward and i think we [00:04:58] need to keep our eye on the goal here [00:04:59] the the goal is complete cultural and [00:05:02] legal change so we can achieve change in [00:05:05] states like texas you know already [00:05:07] states like missouri banning abortion [00:05:09] completely because of the the decision [00:05:10] this morning uh this is a huge step [00:05:12] forward but now our fight is on our [00:05:14] fight is on in the blue states whether [00:05:16] you're a child conceived in a blue or [00:05:17] red state should not mean whether you [00:05:19] live or die if your parents want to have [00:05:21] you have you scheduled for an abortion [00:05:23] so our work has just started the [00:05:25] pro-life movement is doing three things [00:05:26] right now um live-action my organization [00:05:29] is focused on three things first of all [00:05:30] education many people still don't [00:05:32] understand what the abortion procedure [00:05:35] actually entails how it's violence [00:05:36] against that unborn developing child [00:05:38] they don't understand the science and [00:05:40] the logic behind the pro-life position [00:05:42] they don't understand or they haven't [00:05:44] been really enough [00:05:46] shown the human development in the womb [00:05:48] so we have to keep educating people [00:05:50] number two legal work we have work to do [00:05:52] in state legislatures now to completely [00:05:55] abolish abortion wherever it's possible [00:05:57] and that will happen i mean it's going [00:05:58] to happen in at least 20 states um it's [00:06:01] going to happen probably in more as we [00:06:02] work state by state and then we have to [00:06:04] do the third thing which is support and [00:06:07] help families i mean we need to make our [00:06:09] country a safer and healthier place for [00:06:12] families for mothers for fathers and [00:06:15] that means shoring up the networks of [00:06:17] support that our movement has pregnancy [00:06:19] resource centers uh helping local [00:06:22] communities making sure that we're [00:06:23] active in our faith communities to [00:06:25] support the young fam to support young [00:06:27] families and there's a whole lot more to [00:06:29] do to connect young mothers or unex [00:06:31] women facing unplanned pregnancy with [00:06:33] resources [00:06:34] i just encourage everyone get in the [00:06:35] fight now you know the fight is actually [00:06:37] just [00:06:38] beginning we are just getting started [00:06:40] and this the beauty of this moment is [00:06:43] now we have a shot now we have a shot to [00:06:46] achieve complete legal protection in [00:06:48] some states and that will already happen [00:06:50] and now we have a shot to actually make [00:06:51] sure that if you are a child you know in [00:06:54] in texas or if you're a child in [00:06:55] missouri you're going to have the [00:06:56] protection that you deserve so this is a [00:06:58] huge step forward but it's just the [00:06:59] beginning [00:07:02] and that is lila rose her organization [00:07:04] is live action if you want to go help [00:07:05] them out which you absolutely should [00:07:06] because again the fight really begins [00:07:08] today liveaction.org it's liveaction.org [00:07:11] to get active and protect human life on [00:07:14] the state and eventually on the federal [00:07:16] level i really appreciate the time on [00:07:18] this historic and uh an amazing day [00:07:20] thanks ben [00:07:23] well meanwhile let's go through where [00:07:25] the state of the law is so [00:07:27] with the overruling of roe vs wade some [00:07:30] 26 states are going to heavily restrict [00:07:33] abortion almost right away [00:07:35] alabama has a pre-robot that snaps it [00:07:37] back into place [00:07:39] arizona has a snapback law arkansas has [00:07:41] a snapback law georgia has a six-week [00:07:43] ban that was that was already passed by [00:07:45] the legislature in anticipation of the [00:07:46] overruling of roe versus wade idaho has [00:07:49] a six-week trigger ban iowa has a [00:07:52] six-week trigger ban kentucky has a [00:07:54] six-week trigger ban louisiana six-week [00:07:56] trigger ban michigan has a pre-row [00:07:58] snapback ban [00:08:00] mississippi has a trigger ban at six [00:08:02] weeks [00:08:03] missouri at eight north dakota at six [00:08:06] ohio at six oklahoma at six south [00:08:08] carolina at six south dakota across the [00:08:10] board tennessee six weeks texas six [00:08:13] weeks although attorney general ken [00:08:15] paxton has now announced that [00:08:16] effectively all abortions are illegal he [00:08:18] put out a statement [00:08:19] saying today the united states supreme [00:08:21] court overturned rovers wade and planned [00:08:22] parenthood versus casey thus bringing to [00:08:24] an end a half century of the [00:08:26] unconstitutional and unconscionable [00:08:27] national right to abortion attorney [00:08:29] general paxton released an official [00:08:30] advisory setting forth texas law in [00:08:32] light of the supreme court's decision he [00:08:34] announced the statewide closure of his [00:08:35] agency's offices today in honor of the [00:08:37] nearly 70 million unborn babies killed [00:08:38] in the womb since 1973. [00:08:42] he said we cannot forget the [00:08:43] extraordinary violence rowan casey [00:08:44] unleashed on our nation he says the [00:08:46] question of abortion returns to the [00:08:48] states in texas that question has [00:08:49] already been answered abortion is [00:08:50] illegal here i look forward to defending [00:08:52] the pro-life laws of texas and the lives [00:08:54] of unborn children moving forward [00:08:57] so it wasn't that a.g [00:09:00] paxton there is saying anything [00:09:01] different but that is the way that it is [00:09:03] there are all these trigger laws that [00:09:05] were put in place in anticipation of [00:09:06] overthrowing roe versus way that has now [00:09:08] happened texas has laws utah west [00:09:10] virginia wisconsin and wyoming [00:09:12] there are several states that are also [00:09:14] likely to more heavily restrict abortion [00:09:16] that includes florida which in april [00:09:19] enacted a 15-week abortion ban that was [00:09:21] scheduled to go into effect next month [00:09:24] indiana has enacted some 55 abortion [00:09:27] restrictions and bans they've paved the [00:09:29] way for a comprehensive ban [00:09:31] montana is going to seek presumably a [00:09:33] comprehensive ban in nebraska as well [00:09:36] there are other states that will [00:09:38] implement some sort of restrictions [00:09:40] north carolina obviously was not on the [00:09:42] list of states that uh that i just read [00:09:45] so there are a few other states [00:09:47] but the country is now going to have a [00:09:49] wide variety of abortion laws that now [00:09:51] govern and uh those abortion laws are [00:09:53] going to differ by state now listen on a [00:09:55] on a broader level [00:09:57] on a broader level it would be wonderful [00:09:59] if the [00:10:00] if the federal government actually [00:10:02] passed a law protecting the life of the [00:10:04] unborn or if there were a constitutional [00:10:05] amendment to protect the life of the [00:10:06] unborn it would be better even if the [00:10:08] supreme court had looked at the life [00:10:09] liberty property protections of the due [00:10:11] process clause and said life forget [00:10:13] about substantive due process there is [00:10:14] no due process that allows you to remove [00:10:16] the life of an innocent unborn child [00:10:18] right they could have done that they [00:10:19] didn't do that they're not going to do [00:10:21] that which means that again the fight is [00:10:22] now going to devolve to the state level [00:10:24] now right now there's a lot of heat [00:10:26] right there's a bunch of soldiers who [00:10:28] are on their way to police [00:10:30] on their way to the court to protect the [00:10:32] court the left is immediately [00:10:34] threatening violence and they're [00:10:36] immediately threatening a time of rage [00:10:38] and a day of rage and a week of rage [00:10:40] i think politically speaking [00:10:42] realistically i think this dies down [00:10:43] fairly quickly the reason i think it [00:10:45] dies down fairly quickly is again [00:10:46] because of federalism in other words [00:10:48] california which is heavily blue are [00:10:51] they really going to spend the next six [00:10:52] months being angry over tennessee's [00:10:54] abortion law [00:10:55] new york heavily blue vermont heavily [00:10:58] blue massachusetts are they going to [00:10:59] spend a lot of time concerned about [00:11:01] alabama's abortion law [00:11:04] you know there's this kind of theory on [00:11:05] the left and in some ways the left [00:11:07] electorally speaking is pretty happy [00:11:08] because they're thinking okay well now [00:11:10] we've got our we're having a massive [00:11:11] enthusiasm gap now everybody's very [00:11:13] enthused yeah the decision broke like [00:11:15] an hour and a half ago so [00:11:17] that you know they can be as enthused as [00:11:18] they want right now the question is are [00:11:20] they really enthused come november and [00:11:21] the answer there i think is going to be [00:11:22] no because if you remember when the [00:11:24] leaked decision hit there's a lot of [00:11:25] heat on the weak decision and then [00:11:27] pretty quickly it died down i feel like [00:11:29] something similar is going to happen [00:11:30] here because remember [00:11:31] texas has had in place four months [00:11:34] an effective abortion ban in the state [00:11:35] of texas [00:11:37] you know with people able to sue one [00:11:38] another over obtaining abortions or [00:11:41] involvement in in the abortion process [00:11:44] so texas has been a place where abortion [00:11:45] is illegal for months and months at this [00:11:46] point and that has not been a national [00:11:48] hot point nor has it driven democrats to [00:11:49] the polls in places like texas [00:11:52] now the fact that um the left [00:11:55] seems to believe that they are going to [00:11:57] be able to win some sort of massive [00:11:59] swing electoral victory over this i [00:12:01] think is um [00:12:02] is shocking i'll tell you something else [00:12:04] that's shocking i don't know the [00:12:05] department of justice [00:12:07] remember that time the department of [00:12:08] justice was supposed to not be [00:12:09] militarized on perhaps on behalf of a [00:12:11] particular political point of view [00:12:12] remember that time uh well [00:12:14] the department of justice has now [00:12:16] released in the last two days alone [00:12:18] two separate statements about supreme [00:12:20] court decisions [00:12:21] they released one about the gun decision [00:12:23] yesterday [00:12:25] in which they said we respectfully [00:12:26] disagree with the court's conclusion [00:12:28] that the second amendment forbids new [00:12:30] york's reasonable requirement that [00:12:31] individuals seeking to carry a concealed [00:12:33] handgun must show they need to do so for [00:12:35] self-defense [00:12:36] are they [00:12:37] now they have a new statement here's [00:12:38] their new statement on row quote today [00:12:40] the supreme court overturned roe versus [00:12:41] wade in planned parenthood versus casey [00:12:43] and held that the right to abortion is [00:12:44] no longer protected by the constitution [00:12:46] the supreme court has eliminated an [00:12:48] established right that has been an [00:12:49] essential component of women's liberty [00:12:50] for half a century i've never heard of a [00:12:51] doj doing this sort of thing the doj is [00:12:54] a law enforcement body [00:12:56] it is not their job to say whether they [00:12:59] disagree or agree with a supreme court [00:13:00] decision it is their job to implement [00:13:02] the law [00:13:04] what in the actual hell [00:13:07] but merrick garland remember [00:13:09] was supposed to be on the supreme court [00:13:11] if the left had its way [00:13:12] he and his doj heavily politicized they [00:13:14] say [00:13:15] this right has safeguarded women's [00:13:17] ability to participate fully and equally [00:13:18] in society and renouncing this [00:13:19] fundamental right which has repeatedly [00:13:21] recognized and reaffirmed the court has [00:13:22] upended the doctrine of stars decisions [00:13:24] a key pillar of the rule of law [00:13:25] basically this is merrick garland's [00:13:26] descent this is what you're seeing the [00:13:28] late [00:13:28] dearly departed non-justice meri garland [00:13:31] he says the justice department strongly [00:13:33] disagrees with the court's decision this [00:13:35] decision deals a devastating blow to [00:13:36] reproductive freedom in the united [00:13:37] states it will have an immediate and [00:13:39] irreversible impact on the lives of [00:13:40] people across the country it will be [00:13:41] greatly disproportionate in its effect [00:13:43] with the greatest burdens felt by people [00:13:44] of color and those of limited financial [00:13:46] means [00:13:47] um i wasn't aware that babies were just [00:13:50] solely a burden in a horror [00:13:52] to be born by people of color and people [00:13:54] who are poor [00:13:56] but says merrick garland today's [00:13:57] decision does not eliminate the ability [00:13:59] of states to keep abortion legal within [00:14:00] their borders the constitution continues [00:14:02] to restrict states authority to ban [00:14:03] reproductive services provided outside [00:14:05] their borders we recognize that [00:14:06] traveling to obtain reproductive care [00:14:08] may not be feasible in many [00:14:09] circumstances but under bedrock [00:14:11] constitutional principles women who [00:14:12] reside in states that have banned access [00:14:14] to comprehensive reproductive care must [00:14:16] remain free to seek that care in states [00:14:17] where it is legal [00:14:18] moreover under fundamental first [00:14:20] amendment principles individuals must [00:14:21] remain free to inform and counsel each [00:14:23] other about the reproductive care [00:14:24] available in other states advocates with [00:14:26] different views on this issue have the [00:14:27] right to and will voice their opinions [00:14:28] peacefully expressing a view protected [00:14:30] by the first amendment but we must be [00:14:32] clear violence and threats of violence [00:14:33] are not protected by the first amendment [00:14:34] the justice department will not tolerate [00:14:36] this [00:14:37] we will continue to protect health care [00:14:38] providers and individuals seeking [00:14:40] reproductive health services in states [00:14:41] where those services remain legal the [00:14:43] department strongly supports efforts by [00:14:45] congress to codify americans [00:14:46] reproductive rights the department of [00:14:48] justice is now sounding off on whether [00:14:51] congress should re-codify roe the [00:14:53] department of justice what a joke these [00:14:55] people suggest that they are in favor of [00:14:57] the institutional [00:14:59] merit [00:15:00] that the of the the these institutions [00:15:02] are going to be shored up by the [00:15:03] non-politicization how explain the doj [00:15:06] is now fervently in the camp of we are [00:15:09] just joe biden and joe biden is us and [00:15:10] there is no gap between us we will [00:15:12] express our political views on just [00:15:14] supreme court cases that have been [00:15:15] decided [00:15:17] and we will inform like the permanent [00:15:19] politicization of the bureaucracy is [00:15:21] destroying the institutional credibility [00:15:22] of the doj it just does not exist [00:15:24] anymore i don't trust the doj you [00:15:25] shouldn't trust the doj there is no [00:15:26] reason to trust a doj that releases [00:15:28] statements overtly saying that it [00:15:31] disagrees with supreme court decisions [00:15:33] and pledging [00:15:34] particular enforcement of particular [00:15:36] sides of the law well by the way [00:15:37] ignoring for the last several months [00:15:39] attacks on pro-life clinics [00:15:42] they say federal agencies may continue [00:15:43] to provide reproductive health services [00:15:45] to the extent authorized by federal law [00:15:46] federal employees who carry out their [00:15:48] duties by providing such services must [00:15:50] be allowed to do so free from the threat [00:15:51] of liability it is the department's [00:15:53] long-standing positions that states may [00:15:54] not impose criminal or civil liability [00:15:56] on federal employees who perform their [00:15:58] duties in a manner authorized by federal [00:15:59] laws this is merrick garland saying that [00:16:01] the federal government should now [00:16:02] directly subsidize abortion inside the [00:16:05] states to make up for this [00:16:06] and that the states wouldn't be able to [00:16:08] stop that [00:16:09] which is [00:16:11] nothing gives the federal government the [00:16:13] power or ability to perform abortions [00:16:14] inside states that's insane that's [00:16:16] basically what garland is arguing for [00:16:19] he says the justice department will use [00:16:21] every tool at our disposal to protect [00:16:22] reproductive freedom will not waver from [00:16:24] the department's founding responsibility [00:16:25] to protect civil rights of all americans [00:16:26] i have never heard of such a thing i i [00:16:29] honest to goodness i've never heard of [00:16:31] the justice department sounding off in [00:16:32] this way it is an astonishing [00:16:34] astonishing thing [00:16:36] okay meanwhile nancy pelosi is sounding [00:16:39] off saying that she's having a bad [00:16:40] morning well you know for the rest of [00:16:41] the country nancy pelosi having a bad [00:16:43] morning is actually quite a good morning [00:16:45] here is the speaker of the house of [00:16:46] representatives but not for long [00:16:49] there's no point in saying good morning [00:16:51] because it certainly is not one [00:16:54] this morning the radical supreme court [00:16:57] is eviscerating americans rights and [00:16:59] endangering their health and safety [00:17:02] but the congress will continue to act [00:17:05] uh to overcome this extremism [00:17:08] extremism and protect the american [00:17:09] people [00:17:10] today the republican-controlled supreme [00:17:12] court has achieved their dark [00:17:14] extreme goal of ripping away a woman's [00:17:19] right to make [00:17:21] their own dis reproductive health [00:17:23] decisions [00:17:26] okay i mean [00:17:28] the language here the radicals it's a [00:17:30] dark day congress will not have to wait [00:17:32] aren't you the speaker of the house like [00:17:33] over here aren't you aren't you like the [00:17:34] head of the house of representatives and [00:17:36] you're decrying the ability that you now [00:17:38] have the ability to vote on an issue [00:17:39] didn't have the ability to vote on [00:17:40] yesterday i've never heard of such a [00:17:41] thing so the supreme court says guys not [00:17:44] our purview legislature have at it nancy [00:17:46] looks like you can't give us that [00:17:48] responsibility that's dark and terrible [00:17:50] we don't want we will act today i mean [00:17:52] we won't but we'll say we will but we [00:17:55] won't but maybe but we won't [00:17:58] the the pathetic nature of a legislature [00:18:00] decrying [00:18:02] the fact that the supreme court just [00:18:03] said that they can now legislate on an [00:18:05] issue is that that's nuts dummy it's [00:18:06] just nuts to me it's crazy [00:18:09] meanwhile you have the irrepressibly [00:18:11] stupid alexander ocasio-cortez she went [00:18:13] down to the supreme court doing what she [00:18:14] does best yelling and agitating and with [00:18:17] no actual you know remedy in mind [00:18:28] [Music] [00:18:41] okay um in the streets is what she's [00:18:43] yelling right there in the streets and [00:18:45] illegitimate the supreme court so it was [00:18:47] only illegitimate the minute that she [00:18:49] lost [00:18:50] that's when it was illegitimate nancy [00:18:52] pelosi by the way continued uh she was [00:18:55] saying that um you know of course things [00:18:56] are super duper duper terrible and [00:18:58] terrible and no good and very bad [00:19:02] uh also um yeah the the the reactions [00:19:05] are pouring in fast and furious and we [00:19:07] are sort of reacting in real time to [00:19:10] them again to me the most astonishing [00:19:12] reaction here is from merrick garland [00:19:15] that is it's so crazy it is just so [00:19:17] crazy to me maxine waters says to hell [00:19:19] with the supreme court we will defy them [00:19:22] good luck with that [00:19:25] meanwhile rob bonta the chief the [00:19:27] attorney general instead of california [00:19:30] he correctly points out i want you to [00:19:31] know the scotus ruling does not change [00:19:32] your rights in california abortion [00:19:33] remains fully legal in our state yeah so [00:19:35] this is why by the way all of the heat [00:19:37] that is being generated is going to [00:19:38] dissipate pretty quickly because if you [00:19:39] want to uh go to abortion disneyland you [00:19:41] can head on over to los angeles anytime [00:19:43] you damn well please right that is still [00:19:45] unfortunately the ability of the uh of [00:19:48] people who wish to kill the unborn in [00:19:50] this country [00:19:52] so that's uh that's all [00:19:54] solid stuff happening bette midler said [00:19:57] get ready gays you're next i don't [00:20:00] okay [00:20:01] uh-huh so they're having a normal one [00:20:04] they're having a normal one meanwhile [00:20:05] chuck schumer says today is one of the [00:20:06] darkest days our country has ever seen [00:20:09] ever in history so just to note our [00:20:11] country has seen a civil war in which [00:20:13] hundreds of thousands of americans were [00:20:14] slain over whether black people would [00:20:16] get to be [00:20:18] treated as human beings rather than [00:20:19] property [00:20:21] this country [00:20:22] saw lynchings for like a century [00:20:24] this country saw japanese rounded up and [00:20:27] interned during world war ii this [00:20:29] country saw [00:20:31] eugenicist sterilization [00:20:33] of what they termed the mentally unfit [00:20:35] in the 1920s [00:20:37] this country [00:20:38] saw actual religious war [00:20:41] in parts of the west [00:20:44] ranging from missouri to utah like there [00:20:46] have been some real bad days in american [00:20:48] history [00:20:49] like some seriously horrible days [00:20:51] this day when the supreme court said not [00:20:53] our business and all the law revert [00:20:55] backs that's one of the darkest days in [00:20:56] american history according to chuck [00:20:57] schumer [00:20:58] interesting interesting take there [00:21:00] is that american women are having their [00:21:01] rights taken by five unelected justices [00:21:03] on the extremist maga court [00:21:05] extremism these justices appointed by [00:21:07] republicans and presiding without [00:21:08] accountability have stolen the [00:21:10] fundamental rights to abortion [00:21:14] so um [00:21:15] by the way [00:21:16] anybody who thinks that the justices are [00:21:18] under physical threat yeah i mean i'm [00:21:20] getting that impression a little bit [00:21:23] all right pretty amazing okay so here is [00:21:25] a nancy pelosi [00:21:26] extending her comments on what a [00:21:28] horrible and dark day it is i mean it's [00:21:29] even worse than the time that her [00:21:30] husband [00:21:31] drove drunk and almost killed somebody [00:21:36] right now they're saying in states that [00:21:38] they can arrest doctors and all the rest [00:21:41] what is happening here [00:21:43] what is happening here woman's [00:21:44] fundamental health decisions are her own [00:21:46] to make in consultation with her doctor [00:21:49] her faith her family [00:21:51] not some right-wing politicians of that [00:21:54] donald trump and mitch mcconnell [00:21:57] packed the court with [00:21:59] while republicans seek to punish and [00:22:01] control women democrats will keep [00:22:04] fighting ferociously to enshrine roe v [00:22:07] wade [00:22:09] into law of the land [00:22:12] she's a very religious catholic by the [00:22:13] way you should note [00:22:15] how dare you challenge her catholicism [00:22:17] also kill as many babies as possible man [00:22:19] yeah you gotta do that [00:22:20] so [00:22:22] again what does this break down into [00:22:24] it's gonna break down into some pure [00:22:25] screaming at the sky [00:22:27] all right it's gonna the media is gonna [00:22:29] lose it because this is what the media [00:22:30] do so nbc's pete williams he says you [00:22:33] know we're about to become a divided [00:22:34] country oh we weren't before uh you mean [00:22:37] you didn't notice pete welcome to the [00:22:38] ball game sir [00:22:41] 13 states have what are called trigger [00:22:44] laws that were intended to make row [00:22:46] abortion uh illegal in those states once [00:22:49] the supreme court reached this decision [00:22:52] and a few of those states the law takes [00:22:54] effect immediately and some they have to [00:22:56] wait for the state attorney general to [00:22:58] certify that this is what the supreme [00:23:00] court has done [00:23:01] that's 13 states in which abortion will [00:23:04] shortly be illegal [00:23:06] and in the rest of the so [00:23:08] up to about half the states they are [00:23:11] expected soon to make it illegal so [00:23:13] we're about to become a divided country [00:23:16] lester where abortion is legal in about [00:23:18] half the states illegal in half the [00:23:20] states [00:23:23] okay this is what is called federalism [00:23:26] there are a bunch of laws that vary from [00:23:27] states to state i mean we may we may [00:23:29] pretend that federalism doesn't exist in [00:23:30] the united states it does now again [00:23:33] would i prefer that there is federal [00:23:34] legislation protecting the lives of the [00:23:36] unborn sure but i prefer there is a [00:23:38] constitutional amendment which is what i [00:23:39] think it really would take in order to [00:23:40] protect the lives of the unborn [00:23:41] absolutely and the constitutional [00:23:42] amendment by the way on a legal level is [00:23:44] the proper response here a [00:23:45] constitutional amendment protecting [00:23:46] federally the lives of the unborn is [00:23:48] what the right should see they should [00:23:50] seek state level legislation [00:23:51] locally you know going just to congress [00:23:53] and saying we want to protect the lives [00:23:54] of the unborn by passing you know some [00:23:56] sort of broad abortion act the problem [00:23:58] with that is that it lasts for about [00:23:59] five minutes and it's unclear what the [00:24:01] scope of congress's actual authority is [00:24:03] in regulating intra-state issues like [00:24:06] criminal law for example now i [00:24:08] understand that we've completely [00:24:09] obliterated the the [00:24:12] sort of restrictions on what the federal [00:24:14] government can do the federal government [00:24:15] can now regulate how many gallons of [00:24:17] water you use in your shower every day [00:24:19] but [00:24:19] you know from a sort of classical [00:24:21] constitutional point of view this was [00:24:22] the purview of the state so if you wish [00:24:24] to do this federally really we should be [00:24:26] seeking a constitutional amendment but [00:24:28] i'm absolutely flabbergasted [00:24:31] by members of the democratic congress [00:24:33] saying how dare you kick this this issue [00:24:34] back to us where we can argue it [00:24:36] see here's the thing the left doesn't [00:24:38] like arguments they don't like arguments [00:24:40] they're not interested [00:24:42] in arguments [00:24:44] what they want is just absolute rule and [00:24:46] the fact that they are treating this as [00:24:48] authoritarian rule when it is literally [00:24:50] the opposite it is the supreme court [00:24:52] saying we the unelected justices of the [00:24:54] supreme court will not cram down our own [00:24:57] personal opinions on 330 million people [00:24:59] living in 50 different states [00:25:01] we're instead going to delegate that [00:25:02] back out where it belongs the fact that [00:25:04] the left treats this as a usurpation of [00:25:06] power in some way is totally mad [00:25:09] it is absolutely 100 [00:25:11] ass backwards illogical [00:25:14] some of the loudest voices here are [00:25:15] people like uh kathy hokel kathy okel is [00:25:17] the [00:25:18] governor of new york because andrew [00:25:20] cuomo couldn't quit grabbing ass so uh [00:25:22] she she fell upward into that position [00:25:24] where she has done a predictably [00:25:26] terrible job and uh and kathy hulkel [00:25:28] says well you know we're still going to [00:25:29] do abortion in the state we got we love [00:25:30] our we we do love our abortion i mean [00:25:32] we're definitely going to going to be [00:25:34] doing that um and uh she of course is um [00:25:37] she's correct in the state of new york [00:25:38] they will be doing the abortions like [00:25:40] forever and always [00:25:43] this is appalling we have to be able to [00:25:45] have the right to make a determination [00:25:47] based on what our citizens want i'm not [00:25:50] governing texas that's fine they can do [00:25:52] what they want there but i should have [00:25:54] the right to be the voice of the people [00:25:56] of this state who want sensible gun [00:25:59] safety legislation i assure you we are [00:26:01] not going to allow this to happen [00:26:03] on gun safety that she does on row by [00:26:05] the way she's this is a clip from her [00:26:07] last night on on gun legislation because [00:26:10] the supreme court also ruled in a pretty [00:26:11] massive ruling yesterday that which has [00:26:13] now been completely obliterated from the [00:26:14] headlines that you actually do have a [00:26:16] right to conceal carry unless the state [00:26:18] can demonstrate some serious [00:26:20] countervailing interest and actually has [00:26:21] to apply that objectively but again the [00:26:24] idea here from the left is that we get [00:26:25] to rule how we want and there are no [00:26:27] hard and there are no hard and fast [00:26:30] objective metrics of what different [00:26:32] branches of governor government are [00:26:33] supposed to do i'm seeing a lot of [00:26:35] insurrection-y kind of behavior today [00:26:36] maxine waters [00:26:38] is out there yelling in front of the [00:26:40] supreme court literally right now women [00:26:42] are going to control their bodies no [00:26:43] matter how they try and stop us the hell [00:26:45] with the supreme court we will defy them [00:26:47] which is [00:26:48] always exciting stuff [00:26:50] can we say that's insurrectionally it [00:26:52] feels a little insurrectional right we [00:26:53] were told that that attacking the [00:26:54] institutions of the united states is um [00:26:57] is insurrectiony it seems a little [00:26:58] insurrectiony to me [00:27:00] meanwhile glenn youngkin is seeking in [00:27:02] virginia a 15-week abortion ban which [00:27:04] again is pretty moderate i mean 15 week [00:27:06] abortion bad by the way is kind of in [00:27:07] line with most european states [00:27:11] uh we are we are seeing [00:27:13] again that um [00:27:15] so there's there is some pulling out [00:27:16] from nbc [00:27:18] that shows that people are sort of [00:27:20] temporarily animated by the abortion [00:27:22] issue but then it goes back down [00:27:24] according to amy walter who is a um a [00:27:28] cook political report [00:27:30] reporter she says nbc polling from may [00:27:33] found that the sailings of abortion [00:27:34] jumped 16 points from previous spring [00:27:36] polling those most engaged on the issue [00:27:37] were members of the democratic coalition [00:27:38] college women liberal biden 2020 voters [00:27:41] but among swing voters the salience of [00:27:42] abortion was not nearly as significant [00:27:45] so [00:27:46] which is what you would expect because [00:27:48] you know again the people who are likely [00:27:49] to get abortions are the people who are [00:27:50] also most likely to be exercised about [00:27:52] this everybody else can be like [00:27:56] yeah so [00:27:57] it'll be fascinating to see what the [00:27:59] left practically does but i think that [00:28:01] the preparations for violence are not [00:28:02] out of bounds tonight considering that [00:28:05] the left in the aftermath of even the [00:28:06] leak you had terrorist group that was [00:28:08] out there basically burning up pro-life [00:28:10] centers [00:28:11] and the doj doing nothing [00:28:14] and the doj doing nothing [00:28:16] protesters are outside chanting legal [00:28:18] abortion on demand this decision must [00:28:20] not stand [00:28:21] well [00:28:22] that's sad for you [00:28:24] that's a that's that [00:28:26] sorry [00:28:27] i'm sorry the constitution is happening [00:28:28] to you gang we are awaiting the [00:28:30] president of the united states who with [00:28:32] his uh with his card he needs a card to [00:28:34] inform him as to what he is uh he is [00:28:37] going to say [00:28:38] uh i point this out only because [00:28:39] yesterday there was an actual picture of [00:28:42] joe biden [00:28:43] who i i don't know how you conclude that [00:28:45] he is anything other than in a state of [00:28:48] serious mental decline when you see this [00:28:49] picture there's a picture of him holding [00:28:51] a note card informing him on what to do [00:28:54] during a a drop-by event it it literally [00:28:59] says [00:29:00] you okay it's a set of instructions [00:29:02] physical instructions for the president [00:29:03] of the united states who's in a state of [00:29:05] cognitive decline [00:29:06] every time i say the word you [00:29:08] if you're if you're listening to this [00:29:09] and not watching you have to understand [00:29:11] that you is in capital letters you enter [00:29:13] the roosevelt room and say hello to [00:29:15] participants [00:29:16] you take your seat now somebody else's [00:29:18] seat you take your seat [00:29:21] press enters you give brief comments [00:29:23] press depart [00:29:24] you ask liz schuler president afl-cio a [00:29:27] question note liz is joining virtually i [00:29:29] love they have to inform him of this [00:29:31] like like he's just going to be asking [00:29:32] ghost it's like [00:29:34] where are you liz god i love you [00:29:37] you thank participants you depart [00:29:40] he's with it guys everything is fine [00:29:43] everything is going to go great [00:29:45] i'm just surprised that it doesn't say [00:29:46] on this card you [00:29:48] breathe in [00:29:49] you [00:29:50] breathe out you breathe in you [00:29:54] breathe out because that might be what [00:29:56] it takes to keep the president of the [00:29:58] united states uh on um on this side of [00:30:01] the ledger when it comes to life versus [00:30:03] uh not life [00:30:05] meanwhile there are a bunch of um of [00:30:07] other states that are seeking to [00:30:08] strengthen their [00:30:10] their pro-life laws [00:30:12] according to npr kansas voters on august [00:30:14] 2nd are going to decide whether to amend [00:30:16] the state constitution with a provision [00:30:18] saying it does not promise access to [00:30:19] abortion [00:30:22] that'll be interesting to find out [00:30:25] there are a bunch of people on the left [00:30:26] who are today [00:30:28] suggesting that that all of the justices [00:30:30] on the supreme court lied because they [00:30:31] said that they believe in precedent [00:30:33] there's not a single supreme court [00:30:35] justice nominee [00:30:37] in modern american history [00:30:39] who can answer the question honestly and [00:30:41] expect to be confirmed as to what kind [00:30:43] of precedent they support [00:30:45] because after all [00:30:46] everybody knows that not everybody's [00:30:47] going to support every president i mean [00:30:49] that is sort of the purpose of the [00:30:50] supreme court some precedents are going [00:30:51] to be overruled some rulings are going [00:30:52] to be changed [00:30:55] so [00:30:56] uh it [00:30:58] again things are are very hot and [00:31:00] bothered out in commentary land [00:31:03] we are seeing the uh the immediate freak [00:31:05] out [00:31:07] we have mary zigler over at the new york [00:31:09] times rose death will change american [00:31:11] democracy [00:31:13] she says [00:31:15] history gives us no reason to believe [00:31:17] that national sanity will prevail [00:31:19] opinions about legal abortion were [00:31:20] polarized before 1973 americans have [00:31:22] held vastly different views about [00:31:23] abortion since the 60s nor did rose [00:31:25] short circus promise short circuit [00:31:28] promising consensus solutions [00:31:30] the dissolution of roe will not make [00:31:32] tensions disappear several states have [00:31:34] already issued sweeping laws more [00:31:35] fundamentally the story the supreme [00:31:36] court tells is dangerously incomplete [00:31:38] the decades-long fight to reverse roe [00:31:40] was not an effort to restore democracy [00:31:42] but instead an attempt to change the way [00:31:43] american democracy works one that now [00:31:46] realized will touch areas of life well [00:31:47] removed from reproduction the leaders of [00:31:49] the anti-abortion movement have long [00:31:50] seen their cause as a fight for human [00:31:52] rights in which compromise was a [00:31:53] betrayal of principle [00:31:55] oh so so in other words it's the [00:31:57] anti-abortion people who made politics [00:31:59] extreme [00:32:01] otherwise politics would be totally sane [00:32:05] it wasn't you guys it is it will never [00:32:07] be a source of amazement to me at the [00:32:09] left which has declared open war on [00:32:11] pretty much every institution of [00:32:12] traditional american society [00:32:15] has now decided that it is the that it [00:32:17] is the right that created the conflict [00:32:21] that is the part that is truly amazing [00:32:23] to me that it is the right that you guys [00:32:25] created this conflict okay so again we [00:32:26] are still awaiting comment from the [00:32:29] adult president of the united states [00:32:32] he's supposed to join us at any moment [00:32:34] he'll hit him with a [00:32:36] vitamin b12 shot and uh and then he will [00:32:38] be [00:32:39] jostled into action and words will come [00:32:42] out of his face hole we will analyze the [00:32:43] the [00:32:44] suppose the alleged words coming out of [00:32:46] his facehole when he when he joins us [00:32:48] meanwhile former vice president pence [00:32:50] has now called for a national ban on [00:32:52] abortion he says by returning the [00:32:53] question of abortion to the states into [00:32:55] the people the supreme court has righted [00:32:56] a historic wrong and reaffirmed the [00:32:58] right of the american people to govern [00:32:59] themselves at the state level in a [00:33:00] manner consistent with their values and [00:33:02] aspirations now that roe vs wade has [00:33:04] been consigned to the ash sheep of [00:33:05] history a new arena in the cause of life [00:33:07] has emerged it is incumbent on all those [00:33:09] who cherish the sanctity of life to [00:33:10] resolve that will take the defense of [00:33:11] the unborn and the support for women in [00:33:13] crisis pregnancy centers to every state [00:33:14] in america have been giving the second [00:33:16] chance for life we must not rest we must [00:33:18] not relent until the sanctity of life is [00:33:19] restored to the center of american law [00:33:21] in every state in the land now again [00:33:23] he's calling on people to do this on a [00:33:24] state by state level he also put [00:33:26] together a a video promoting this call [00:33:30] for life [00:33:31] again i've not seen a comment yet [00:33:34] from president trump on any of this [00:33:35] which is shocking because i mean this [00:33:37] if there's one time in american history [00:33:39] when you should be taking a victory lap [00:33:40] this would be the time i mean he is the [00:33:42] guy who appointed three of these [00:33:43] justices [00:33:45] joe biden again is slated to speak [00:33:49] apparently uh alexander ocasio-cortez [00:33:52] has been specifically asked now about [00:33:54] whether she will condemn violence should [00:33:56] it occur [00:33:57] and uh and she is saying no [00:34:00] we'll find that clip as soon as possible [00:34:03] i will say on days like this doing the [00:34:05] show is sort of like drinking from a [00:34:06] fire hose because you are just watching [00:34:08] as um as the reactions come in in real [00:34:10] time [00:34:11] and i will say that the the tears [00:34:14] are are rather delicious [00:34:17] meanwhile justin trudeau is sounding off [00:34:20] because we needed his opinion justin [00:34:21] trudeau [00:34:22] handsome bernie sanders he says no [00:34:24] government politician or man should tell [00:34:27] a woman what she can and cannot do with [00:34:28] her body i want women in canada to know [00:34:30] we will always stand up for your right [00:34:32] to choose [00:34:33] trying to internationalize the abortion [00:34:34] issue to canada is definitely a unique [00:34:36] one from [00:34:38] our neighbors to the north [00:34:42] meanwhile um trump apparently reportedly [00:34:45] has been telling people privately [00:34:47] that the ruling will be bad for [00:34:49] republicans i have i have doubts [00:34:51] i actually think that the ruling will be [00:34:52] quite good for republicans because if [00:34:54] you've ever wanted republicans to be [00:34:55] animated to show up for a state [00:34:57] legislative vote this would be the time [00:34:58] particularly in the swing states [00:35:02] all right worthy of note here there is a [00:35:04] leaker you'll recall who leaked the [00:35:06] decision early the entire goal of the [00:35:08] leaker was to shift the decision itself [00:35:11] to essentially cudgel the the supreme [00:35:13] court into reversing its own decision [00:35:15] here that was a giant fail [00:35:17] that person should still [00:35:19] be outed considering that they uh they [00:35:21] violated basic protocol [00:35:23] over at the uh over at the supreme court [00:35:24] but that that giant fail is [00:35:27] pretty wonderful [00:35:28] right joining us on the line is [00:35:29] professor carter snead he's one of the [00:35:30] world's leading experts on public [00:35:32] bioethics he's a professor of law over [00:35:34] at university of notre dame professor [00:35:35] snead thanks so much for joining us i [00:35:36] really appreciate it great to be on [00:35:38] thanks for having me [00:35:40] so first of all you know obviously a [00:35:42] historic day in the united states it is [00:35:44] it is [00:35:45] amazing that it took this long for roe [00:35:47] versus wade a decision that has been [00:35:50] reviled by pretty much everybody who's [00:35:52] ever read any bit of law to be overruled [00:35:55] that doesn't make the day any less [00:35:56] historic [00:35:58] no i agree it's an amazing day we should [00:36:00] all celebrate this extraordinary [00:36:02] achievement and it is a it's a great [00:36:04] tribute to those justices on the court [00:36:05] who had the courage to release their [00:36:07] ill-gotten authority to impose their [00:36:09] will on the country on the question of [00:36:11] abortion and give it back to the people [00:36:13] where we had it prior to 1973 and where [00:36:15] every country in the world [00:36:17] governs themselves on abortion rather [00:36:19] than submitting to the fiat of unelected [00:36:20] judges so you're right i mean no one [00:36:22] hardly anyone defends rose and casey's [00:36:24] reasoning as such they all talk about [00:36:27] the policy angle why abortion is [00:36:29] important or they make noises about [00:36:31] starry decisis none of which is is [00:36:33] persuasive as far as what the court's [00:36:36] role is which is to interpret the [00:36:37] constitution so i'm encouraged and happy [00:36:40] that we have uh five justices on the [00:36:42] court who are willing to release this [00:36:43] question back to the american people [00:36:45] where it belongs [00:36:47] now professors need one one of the [00:36:48] things that's pretty amazing is in the [00:36:50] dissent is fairly obvious that they have [00:36:52] no concern whatsoever for the [00:36:54] the balancing concern of prenatal life [00:36:56] every argument that they make in favor [00:36:58] of upholding roe is a policy argument [00:37:00] that extends all the way up to a point [00:37:01] of birth they talk about a woman's [00:37:02] autonomy they talk about a woman's right [00:37:03] to choose and how she doesn't have this [00:37:05] right to choose it's going to inhibit [00:37:06] women from taking their full place in [00:37:08] american life and then they sort of pay [00:37:09] lip service to the idea that that [00:37:11] prenatal life should be something that [00:37:13] we are worried about but [00:37:15] it seems essentially that if they had [00:37:17] their way then they would if they had a [00:37:19] majority they would be basically [00:37:20] invalidating any restriction on abortion [00:37:22] whatsoever so i mean it really is a an [00:37:24] amazing thing that mitch mcconnell held [00:37:25] up the confirmation of merrick garland [00:37:27] until the election of 2016 and thank god [00:37:29] president trump won and we actually [00:37:30] ended up with some justices who have [00:37:32] occasionally glanced at the constitution [00:37:35] well yeah i would say i mean as you as [00:37:37] you know and your listeners know there's [00:37:38] nothing i mean mitch mcconnell exercised [00:37:41] courage but he also exercised authority [00:37:43] that was that he appropriately holds in [00:37:46] and not uh having any hearings for for [00:37:48] attorney general garland uh it's well [00:37:50] within his authority to do that we'd [00:37:52] better believe that if the shoe was on [00:37:54] the other foot that's what would have [00:37:55] happened if chuck schumer had been in [00:37:57] charge [00:37:58] or harry reid had been in charge [00:38:00] and so i i completely agree and the [00:38:02] dissent is striking because the interest [00:38:04] that they keep focusing on in terms of [00:38:05] women is not even the bodily [00:38:08] burdens of pregnancy or the psychic [00:38:10] burdens of pregnancy they keep talking [00:38:11] about a woman's freedom to pursue her [00:38:14] open future so that means that's that's [00:38:16] not just about pregnancy that also [00:38:18] includes parenthood as well and so it is [00:38:21] it is arresting and i agree with you [00:38:23] every argument that they make and that [00:38:24] advocates for abortion rights make in [00:38:26] the public square beg begs the question [00:38:28] of the unborn child they it implicitly [00:38:30] assumes that the unborn child is worth [00:38:32] nothing even though he or she is a [00:38:34] living [00:38:35] independent uh member of the human [00:38:37] family a member of the human species [00:38:41] uh if you are interested in this sort of [00:38:42] topic by the way everybody should go [00:38:43] over to daily where we have a fantastic [00:38:45] documentary called choosing life all [00:38:47] about the topic of roe versus wade and [00:38:49] and why it needed to be overall [00:38:51] professors need one of the i think [00:38:52] fascinating elements of the of the [00:38:55] decision is the reliance sorry the [00:38:58] documentary is called choosing death [00:38:59] rather not choosing life uh the the [00:39:01] reliance on um the substantive due [00:39:03] process clause and the refusal to [00:39:04] overrule it [00:39:06] is is one of the strange aspects of this [00:39:07] particular decision it's something that [00:39:09] justice thomas knows in his wonderful [00:39:11] concurrence now thomas is he has the [00:39:13] credibility of arguing that [00:39:15] substantive due process is garbage and [00:39:17] therefore all cases decided under its [00:39:18] auspices should also be tossed [00:39:20] the left because it doesn't understand [00:39:21] how the court works or doesn't care and [00:39:23] wishes to see the court as an explicitly [00:39:25] political tool [00:39:26] they say that basically the court can [00:39:28] never make a ruling without approving of [00:39:30] the result of the ruling which of course [00:39:32] is not what the court is designed to do [00:39:33] what thomas says is substantive due [00:39:34] process is a garbage basis we should [00:39:36] overrule obergefell we should overrule [00:39:38] lawrence we should overrule griswold and [00:39:40] send all that stuff back to the states [00:39:42] the court obviously has no taste for any [00:39:44] of that and instead they've kept alive [00:39:46] the notion of substantive due process [00:39:48] which is a sort of ghost in the closet [00:39:50] when it comes to constitutional law [00:39:53] yeah so i agree with you the first thing [00:39:55] to notice is is that it is true that [00:39:57] justice thomas is a as an extraordinary [00:39:59] justice and an extraordinary mind but he [00:40:02] appears to be the only taker for the [00:40:03] proposition on the court that [00:40:04] substantive process should be completely [00:40:06] abandoned but i will say justice alito [00:40:09] and gives us a framework for substantive [00:40:11] due process that really cabins the [00:40:14] discretion of the judges and justices if [00:40:16] that doctrine is to persist which [00:40:18] appears it will but given the current [00:40:20] composition of the court it limits those [00:40:22] unenumerated rights those uh implicit [00:40:25] rights that aren't written in the [00:40:26] constitution to those that are deeply [00:40:28] rooted and firmly grounded in the [00:40:30] nation's history and tradition legal [00:40:32] tradition and that obviously rules out [00:40:34] abortion which was a crime at the time [00:40:36] of the ratification of the 14th [00:40:39] amendment and was a contrary to what the [00:40:41] dissent says and it's extraordinary how [00:40:42] badly they botched the history there was [00:40:44] never a right to abortion at common law [00:40:46] prior to 18 the 19th century there was [00:40:49] never a right abortion was always [00:40:51] legally disfavored it was criminally [00:40:53] prosecuted after quickening because [00:40:54] that's the only time a prosecutor could [00:40:56] identify an actress reyes an actual you [00:40:59] know the presence of a life that had [00:41:00] been taken but even more deeply prior to [00:41:03] quickening there are examples of the [00:41:05] court treating the killing of a fetus as [00:41:07] a predicate for felony murder um when in [00:41:10] the event that a woman loses her life in [00:41:13] the context of an abortion so the court [00:41:15] the the dissent completely mis [00:41:17] misrepresents the history which justin [00:41:20] solido carefully articulates and the [00:41:21] reason he does so is because that is his [00:41:24] significant [00:41:25] uh restraint on the practice of [00:41:27] subsystem due process which we saw for [00:41:29] the first time in the assisted suicide [00:41:30] cases in the late 1990s when chief [00:41:32] justice ring was articulated a similar [00:41:34] case [00:41:36] and you know it is pretty fascinating [00:41:37] the court is obviously attempting and [00:41:39] they say it over and over in the [00:41:40] decision not to reopen some of these [00:41:42] controversial cases like obergfell or or [00:41:44] lawrence or griswold because they i [00:41:46] think understand that what the left is [00:41:47] going to try to do is lump in row with [00:41:49] all those other more popular cases and [00:41:52] and now less controversial cases uh and [00:41:54] uh and so the court explicitly over and [00:41:56] over says that they are not going to [00:41:57] touch those other cases this is not stop [00:41:59] the left from citing justice thomas's [00:42:01] concurrence he's literally the only vote [00:42:02] for overruling that stuff even though he [00:42:04] happens to be absolutely correct [00:42:06] professors need you're involved in in [00:42:07] the documentary that we made choosing [00:42:09] death maybe you can talk a little bit [00:42:10] about that documentary and uh and the [00:42:12] importance of of the pro-life movement [00:42:15] where where things kind of go from here [00:42:17] absolutely it is a great documentary and [00:42:18] i was honored to be involved in its [00:42:20] production um [00:42:22] i i talk a lot from a legal perspective [00:42:24] about how completely misguided and [00:42:27] wrong-headed roe v wade and planned [00:42:28] parent versus casey were as a matter of [00:42:30] constitutional interpretation showing [00:42:32] that they were never ever attached to [00:42:34] the text history of tradition of the [00:42:36] constitution they were egregiously wrong [00:42:37] the moment they were decided they're [00:42:39] quite actually different from each other [00:42:40] because the arc of american abortion [00:42:42] jurisprudence has always been a kind of [00:42:44] conclusion in search of a rationale the [00:42:46] court has twisted and turned and [00:42:47] tortured itself for 50 years trying to [00:42:49] explain [00:42:50] why it is there should be a right to [00:42:52] abortion which actually doesn't exist in [00:42:53] the constitution itself and we talk a [00:42:55] lot about the history as well [00:42:57] insofar as where we go from here i think [00:42:59] that all of us who have been working [00:43:01] hard to try to to to clear this obstacle [00:43:04] this 50-year obstacle to protecting [00:43:05] unborn children and their mothers and [00:43:07] families in need [00:43:08] now are free to to work in the political [00:43:12] process to try to create structures that [00:43:15] will care and protect unborn babies in [00:43:16] the womb but also care for their mothers [00:43:18] care for families in need and put in [00:43:20] place structures of support [00:43:22] that will will show the heart of the [00:43:24] pro-life movement which has always been [00:43:26] a movement about unconditional love and [00:43:29] and radical hospitality and welcoming [00:43:31] people no matter who they are and the [00:43:32] proposition that everybody counts [00:43:36] well that is professor cardis need from [00:43:38] university of notre dame he's also the [00:43:41] author of a bunch of books you should [00:43:43] check them out thanks so much for your [00:43:44] time professor snead and again big day [00:43:46] for the country [00:43:47] thank you so much keep up the great work [00:43:50] so meanwhile a lot of people online very [00:43:52] angry at bernie sanders because uh their [00:43:54] basic their basic contentions if it had [00:43:56] not been for bernie then hillary would [00:43:57] have been elected in 2016 and this never [00:43:59] would have happened meanwhile we do have [00:44:00] alexander ocasio-cortez the id of the [00:44:02] democratic party who is who's now saying [00:44:04] that she [00:44:05] essentially is refusing any call to [00:44:07] denounce violence after the ruling [00:44:11] will you condemn the violence proposed [00:44:12] by pro-abortion groups [00:44:15] will she not condemn it [00:44:18] are you not condemning the violence [00:44:19] proposed by pro-abortion groups [00:44:24] so i guess i guess [00:44:30] listen i'm just happy today that um she [00:44:31] got to wear her pink outfit that's [00:44:33] really the important thing she that [00:44:34] she's wearing that pink outfit [00:44:38] and uh and she keeps on walking [00:44:39] meanwhile we have our celebrity class [00:44:41] commenting on all of this which is [00:44:42] really what we need sophia bush says [00:44:43] they will never end abortion only safe [00:44:45] abortion this is not about life it's [00:44:46] about control those mfr's [00:44:49] uh okay again the the [00:44:52] baseline notion that all women who [00:44:54] wanted to get abortions and now are [00:44:56] going to reconsider because they live in [00:44:57] states in which it is against the law [00:44:59] that those women are now going to engage [00:45:01] in unsafe abortions and is going to be [00:45:02] back alley code hangers and all the rest [00:45:04] of this this is nonsense [00:45:06] padme lakshmi [00:45:08] another [00:45:09] not wonderful human being says people [00:45:10] will still get abortions these [00:45:11] procedures won't stop because roe versus [00:45:13] weight is overturned this will only [00:45:15] prevent safe legal abortions from taking [00:45:16] place people who have money time and [00:45:18] resources will still find avenues for [00:45:19] their procedures but the most vulnerable [00:45:21] of our community what choices are are [00:45:23] those individuals who are mostly by left [00:45:25] with this is the catalyst for a public [00:45:26] health crisis the right to decide when [00:45:28] to start a family or not is a choice [00:45:30] every individual should be able to make [00:45:31] on their terms when the time is right [00:45:33] for them yes that's why we have [00:45:34] contraception and marriage and [00:45:36] abstinence and all sorts of other things [00:45:38] again rape and incest is a like tiny [00:45:41] percentage of the number of abortions [00:45:42] done every year in the united states [00:45:45] meanwhile hillary clinton is uh is [00:45:47] sounding off [00:45:49] most americans believe the decision to [00:45:50] have a child is one of the most sacred [00:45:52] decisions there is i i love the reversal [00:45:54] the decision whether to have a childism [00:45:56] is a sacred decision [00:45:57] well the decision to kill a child by [00:46:00] contrast is a rather not sacred decision [00:46:03] it's like straight to the jaws of mola [00:46:05] kind of stuff [00:46:06] most americans believe the decision to [00:46:07] have a child is one of the most sacred [00:46:09] decisions there is says hillary and that [00:46:10] such decision should remain between [00:46:11] patients and their doctors today the [00:46:13] supreme court opinion will live in [00:46:14] infamy as they step backward for women's [00:46:16] rights and human rights well i mean if [00:46:18] hillary says so michelle obama [00:46:20] she says i'm heartbroken today [00:46:22] heartbroken if if there aren't more dead [00:46:24] babies i mean that that breaks your [00:46:25] heart doesn't it i'm heartbroken for [00:46:27] people around this country who just lost [00:46:29] the fundamental right to make informed [00:46:30] decisions about their own bodies i love [00:46:32] the fact that we are going to pretend [00:46:33] that sex is always non-consensual and [00:46:35] that contraception is not widely [00:46:37] available i love i love this pretend [00:46:38] world [00:46:40] i'm heartbroken you may now be destined [00:46:42] to learn the painful lessons of a time [00:46:43] before roe was made law of the land a [00:46:44] time when women risked losing their [00:46:46] lives getting illegal abortions by the [00:46:47] way the number of women who died due to [00:46:49] illegal abortions year on year in the [00:46:51] united states [00:46:52] during the time when abortion was widely [00:46:54] illegal was statistically insignificant [00:46:57] like very very very low number of women [00:46:59] a time when the government denied women [00:47:01] control over their reproductive freedoms [00:47:02] forced them to move forward with [00:47:03] pregnancies they didn't want and then [00:47:05] abandoned them once their babies were [00:47:06] born that is what our mothers and [00:47:07] grandmothers and great-grandmothers [00:47:08] lived through oh wait wait hold on i [00:47:10] noticed something in that sentence that [00:47:11] is what our mothers and grandmothers and [00:47:13] great-grandmothers lived through you [00:47:14] know in order for you to be here saying [00:47:16] that thing [00:47:17] they had to not kill [00:47:19] your grandmother your mother or you [00:47:22] i love this uh you know in our mothers [00:47:24] and great-grandmothers and [00:47:25] great-great-grandmothers they weren't [00:47:27] allowed to abort [00:47:29] yes i noticed you're here aren't you [00:47:32] hmm interesting [00:47:34] ronald reagan once said the only people [00:47:35] who are um [00:47:37] who are in favor of abortion are people [00:47:38] who've already been born [00:47:40] yep [00:47:41] she says this moment is difficult but [00:47:42] our story does not end here it may not [00:47:44] feel like we're able to do much right [00:47:45] now but we can and we must okay [00:47:49] go for it barack obama says today the [00:47:50] supreme court not only reversed nearly [00:47:52] 50 years of precedent it relegated the [00:47:54] most intensely personal decision someone [00:47:55] can make to the whims of politicians and [00:47:57] ideologues attacking the essential [00:47:59] freedoms of millions of americans i love [00:48:00] i love hearing from the advocates of [00:48:03] forcibly vaccinate your small child or [00:48:05] mask them up that your essential [00:48:07] freedoms are under attack when we say [00:48:09] you're not allowed to kill a baby in the [00:48:10] womb [00:48:13] viola davis says and so it goes gutted [00:48:15] now more than ever we have to use our [00:48:16] voice and power we the people [00:48:18] well i mean i'll tell you something [00:48:20] about being gutted [00:48:22] i have some thoughts on that one [00:48:24] so our celebrity class they're always [00:48:26] they're the finest among us obviously [00:48:28] that is that is really the important [00:48:30] thing now important to know here that uh [00:48:32] there was another big supreme court [00:48:33] decision that broke yesterday that [00:48:35] supreme court decision [00:48:38] is [00:48:38] uh [00:48:39] essentially says that the second [00:48:41] amendment [00:48:42] exists it says that you are allowed to [00:48:44] keep and bear arms outside your home so [00:48:46] dc versus heller said you have an [00:48:47] individual second amendment right to [00:48:49] have a gun in your home because that was [00:48:50] the the lawed issue in washington dc [00:48:53] and uh and now the the new gun case says [00:48:56] that you [00:48:57] have to be given some sort of standard [00:48:59] for why the state can deny [00:49:01] you the ability [00:49:02] to carry outside the home in other words [00:49:04] the right self-defense doesn't end at [00:49:05] your front door [00:49:06] there are a bunch of states that have [00:49:08] what we call may issue laws those may [00:49:10] issue laws basically say that if you [00:49:11] show up [00:49:12] and you ask for a concealed carry permit [00:49:15] the state can issue you one based on [00:49:17] their assessment of your need for the [00:49:18] gun [00:49:20] the supreme court says you can't do that [00:49:21] that's a violation of the second [00:49:22] amendment people on the left are losing [00:49:23] their ever-loving minds over this this [00:49:25] is the end of world for them they're [00:49:27] deeply deeply upset [00:49:29] obviously [00:49:31] and joe biden yesterday ripped that [00:49:33] supreme court decision we're still [00:49:34] awaiting his uh his i'm sure what will [00:49:36] be inspirational and sterling verbiage [00:49:38] on roe vs wade here's what he had to say [00:49:39] yesterday about the supreme court gun [00:49:40] decision [00:49:42] i am disappointed in the supreme court [00:49:44] gun decision [00:49:45] um there is one little bit of solace in [00:49:48] the [00:49:49] uh the uh [00:49:50] the minority making up the majority [00:49:53] opinion [00:49:54] has laid out that it affects not every [00:49:56] state that if you have to say you shall [00:49:59] give you shall do abc [00:50:02] they're the ones that are going to have [00:50:03] problems but most say may [00:50:06] i mean may and and i got it reversed may [00:50:09] and shell and so [00:50:11] there are the gun laws in 40 of these [00:50:13] states are still in place [00:50:15] based on the decision not good enough [00:50:18] but it's uh i think it's a bad decision [00:50:20] i think it's [00:50:21] and i think it's not reasoned accurately [00:50:23] but [00:50:24] i'm disappointed [00:50:27] he's disappointed also he's not with us [00:50:29] anymore uh the it's it [00:50:31] you know the amazing thing [00:50:33] there there is a very famous statement [00:50:35] by dr samuel johnson uh there was a [00:50:38] famous sexist joke that he made in which [00:50:40] he said that the uh the [00:50:42] when you when a woman begins to talk [00:50:43] you're amazed in the same way you would [00:50:44] be if a dog stood on a time legs not [00:50:46] that it's doing it well just that it's [00:50:47] doing it at all that's a very sexist and [00:50:49] horrifying joke by dr samuel johnson who [00:50:51] is now cancelled um but um when joe [00:50:53] biden talks the amazing thing is not [00:50:55] that he is saying anything amazing it's [00:50:56] just that i didn't really know that um a [00:50:58] person who is no longer alive can speak [00:51:00] so that that's exciting news [00:51:02] uh by the way the um [00:51:05] the the fact that that joe biden you [00:51:08] know is uh is going to speak again i i i [00:51:10] think we are all awaiting with baited [00:51:12] breath the [00:51:14] one long word that joe biden will utter [00:51:16] when i say long one long word that's [00:51:17] because it's all just one giant slurred [00:51:19] war [00:51:20] from him i i think that one one of the [00:51:22] things that you're going to see from the [00:51:23] democratic left is just a refusal to [00:51:25] abide by law now i mean [00:51:27] it's it's insurrection when the right [00:51:28] does it it's very very [00:51:30] good when the left does it eric adams [00:51:32] yesterday the mayor of new york [00:51:34] a state whose laws were just invalidated [00:51:36] explicitly by the supreme court on guns [00:51:37] he said you know nothing changes today [00:51:39] nothing [00:51:41] the opinion claims to be based on nation [00:51:44] historical past [00:51:45] but does not account for the reality of [00:51:49] today [00:51:50] it ignores the presence [00:51:52] and it endangers states joe biden has [00:51:54] walked out and uh sounds are emanating [00:51:56] from his uh his glorious phase hole so [00:51:58] here here we go here is uh here's joe [00:52:00] biden we're going to try and take him [00:52:01] live ready [00:52:02] recognized they didn't limit it they [00:52:05] simply took it away [00:52:08] that's never been done to a right so [00:52:10] important to so many americans [00:52:13] but they did it [00:52:15] it's a sad day for the court and for the [00:52:17] country [00:52:19] 50 years ago [00:52:20] roe v wade [00:52:22] was decided and has been the law of the [00:52:24] land since then [00:52:26] this landmark case protected a woman's [00:52:27] right to choose [00:52:29] her right to make [00:52:30] intensely personal decisions with their [00:52:33] doctor [00:52:34] free from the intern from the [00:52:35] interference of politics [00:52:38] it reaffirmed basic principles of [00:52:39] equality [00:52:41] that women have the power to control [00:52:42] their own destiny [00:52:44] and it reinforced a fundamental right of [00:52:46] privacy [00:52:47] the right of each of us to choose how to [00:52:50] live our lives [00:52:53] now with rogue on [00:52:55] let's be very clear [00:52:57] the health and life of women in this [00:52:59] nation are now at risk [00:53:03] as chairman and ranking member of the [00:53:04] senate judiciary committee [00:53:06] as vice president now as president [00:53:08] united states [00:53:10] i've studied this case carefully [00:53:12] i've overseen more supreme court [00:53:14] confirmations than anyone today [00:53:17] where this case was always discussed [00:53:21] i believe roe v wade was the correct [00:53:23] decision [00:53:24] as a matter of constitutional law and [00:53:26] application of the fundamental right [00:53:29] to privacy and liberty and matters of [00:53:31] family and personal autonomy [00:53:34] it was a decision [00:53:36] on a complex matter [00:53:38] that drew a careful balance between a [00:53:39] woman's right to choose earlier in her [00:53:42] pregnancy and the state's ability to [00:53:44] regulate [00:53:45] later in her pregnancy [00:53:47] a decision with broad national consensus [00:53:51] that most americans of faith [00:53:53] and backgrounds found acceptable [00:53:56] that have been the law of the land for [00:53:58] most of the lifetime [00:54:00] of americans today [00:54:02] and it was a constitutional principle [00:54:04] upheld [00:54:05] by justices appointed by democrat [00:54:08] and republican presidents alike [00:54:11] roe v wade was a 7-2 decision [00:54:14] written by a justice appointed by [00:54:16] republican president richard nixon [00:54:20] in the five decades that followed roe v [00:54:22] wade justice is appointed by republican [00:54:23] presidents from eisenhower [00:54:26] nixon reagan [00:54:28] george w bush [00:54:30] were among the justices who voted to [00:54:32] uphold the principles set forth in roe v [00:54:35] wade [00:54:37] it was three justices named by one [00:54:40] president [00:54:41] donald trump [00:54:42] who were the core of today's decision to [00:54:44] upend the scales of justice and [00:54:46] eliminate a fundamental right for women [00:54:49] in this country [00:54:51] make no mistake [00:54:53] this decision is a culmination of a [00:54:55] deliberate effort over decades [00:54:58] to upset [00:55:00] the balance of our law [00:55:03] it's a realization of an extreme [00:55:05] ideology and a tragic error by the [00:55:07] supreme court in my view [00:55:09] the court has done what it has never [00:55:11] done before [00:55:12] expressly take away a constitutional [00:55:14] right [00:55:15] that is so fundamental [00:55:17] to so many americans that had already [00:55:19] been recognized [00:55:21] the court's decision to do so will have [00:55:23] real and immediate consequences [00:55:26] state laws banning abortion [00:55:29] are automatically taking effect today [00:55:33] jeopardizing the health of millions of [00:55:34] women [00:55:36] some without exceptions [00:55:38] so extreme that women could be punished [00:55:40] for protecting their health [00:55:42] so extreme the women and girls were [00:55:44] forced to bear their rapist [00:55:47] child [00:55:50] with a child or consequence [00:55:57] it just it just stuns me [00:56:00] so extreme that doctors will be [00:56:02] criminalized for fulfilling their duty [00:56:05] to care [00:56:07] imagine having [00:56:09] a young woman have to [00:56:11] carry the child [00:56:13] of incest as a consequence of incest [00:56:17] no option [00:56:19] too often the case [00:56:21] the poor women are going to be hit the [00:56:22] hardest [00:56:24] it's cruel [00:56:26] in fact the court laid out [00:56:28] state laws criminalizing abortion [00:56:30] that go back to the 1800s [00:56:33] as a rationale [00:56:35] the court literally [00:56:37] taking america back 150 years [00:56:41] this is a sad day for the country in my [00:56:43] view [00:56:45] but it doesn't mean the fight's over [00:56:48] let me be very clear and unambiguous [00:56:51] the only way we can secure a woman's [00:56:53] right to choose [00:56:55] the balance that existed [00:56:57] is for congress to restore the [00:56:59] protections of roe v wade as federal law [00:57:04] no executive action from the president [00:57:06] can do that [00:57:08] and if congress [00:57:10] as it appears [00:57:11] lacks the vote to vote to do that now [00:57:14] voters need to make their voices heard [00:57:18] this fall [00:57:20] we must elect more senators [00:57:22] representatives who will codify [00:57:24] a woman's right to choose in the federal [00:57:26] law once again [00:57:28] elect more state leaders to protect this [00:57:30] right at the local level [00:57:32] we need to restore the protections of [00:57:34] roe [00:57:35] as law of the land we need to elect [00:57:37] officials who will do that this fall roe [00:57:42] is on the ballot [00:57:44] personal freedoms are on the ballot [00:57:47] the right to privacy [00:57:48] liberty equality [00:57:50] they're all on the ballot [00:57:53] until then [00:57:55] i will do all of my power to protect a [00:57:58] woman's right in states [00:57:59] where they will face the consequences of [00:58:01] today's decision [00:58:03] while the court's decision casts a dark [00:58:05] shadow over a large swath of the land [00:58:07] many states in this country still [00:58:10] recognize the woman's right to choose [00:58:14] so [00:58:15] if a woman lives in a state that [00:58:17] restricts abortion [00:58:19] the supreme court's decision does not [00:58:20] prevent her from traveling from her home [00:58:23] state to the state that allows it [00:58:26] it does not prevent a doctor [00:58:28] in that state [00:58:30] and that state from treating her [00:58:32] as the attorney general has made clear [00:58:34] women must remain free to travel safely [00:58:38] to another state to seek care they need [00:58:42] my administration will defend that [00:58:44] bedrock right [00:58:46] if any state or local official high or [00:58:48] low [00:58:49] tries to interfere with the woman's [00:58:51] exercise and her basic right to travel i [00:58:53] will do everything in my power [00:58:56] to fight that deeply un-american attack [00:59:00] my administration will also protect the [00:59:01] woman's access to medications [00:59:04] that are approved by the food and drug [00:59:05] administration the fda [00:59:07] like contraception [00:59:09] which is essential for preventative [00:59:11] health care [00:59:13] mifa prestone [00:59:15] which the fda approved 20 years ago [00:59:18] to safely end early pregnancies [00:59:21] and is commonly used to treat [00:59:22] miscarriages [00:59:24] some states are saying that they'll try [00:59:26] to ban or severely restrict access to [00:59:29] these medications [00:59:32] but extremist governors and state [00:59:33] legislators are looking to block the [00:59:35] mail [00:59:36] or search the person's medicine cabinet [00:59:39] or control a woman's actions by tracking [00:59:41] data on her apps she uses our wrong and [00:59:44] extreme and out of touch [00:59:47] with the majority of americans [00:59:50] the american medical association [00:59:53] the american college of obstetricians [00:59:54] and gynecologists [00:59:56] wrote to me and vice president harris [00:59:58] stressing that these laws are not based [01:00:01] on are not based on evidence and asking [01:00:03] us to act to protect access to care they [01:00:06] say [01:00:06] by limiting access to these medicines [01:00:09] maternal mortality will climb in america [01:00:12] that's what they say [01:00:15] today i'm directing the department of [01:00:17] health and human services [01:00:18] to take steps [01:00:21] to ensure these critical medications are [01:00:23] available to the fullest extent possible [01:00:27] and the politicians cannot interfere [01:00:30] in the decisions that should be made [01:00:32] between a woman and her doctor [01:00:35] and my administration will remain [01:00:36] vigilant [01:00:38] as the implications of this decision [01:00:39] play out [01:00:42] i've warned about how this decision [01:00:44] risked the broader right to privacy for [01:00:46] everyone [01:00:48] that's because roe recognized the [01:00:50] fundamental right to privacy [01:00:54] that has served as a basis for so many [01:00:56] more rights that have come to take we've [01:00:58] come to take for granted [01:01:00] that are ingrained in the fabric of this [01:01:02] country [01:01:04] the right to make the best decisions for [01:01:06] your health [01:01:08] the right to use birth control a married [01:01:10] couple in the privacy of their bedroom [01:01:12] for god's sake [01:01:14] the right to marry the person you love [01:01:18] justice thomas said as much today he [01:01:20] explicitly called [01:01:22] to reconsider the right of marriage [01:01:24] equality [01:01:26] the right of couples to make their [01:01:27] choices on contraception [01:01:31] this extreme and dangerous path the [01:01:33] court is now taking us on [01:01:36] let me close the two points [01:01:39] first [01:01:40] i call on everyone no matter how deeply [01:01:43] they care about this decision [01:01:45] to keep all protests peaceful [01:01:48] peaceful peaceful peaceful no [01:01:51] intimidation [01:01:53] violence is never acceptable [01:01:56] threats [01:01:57] and tim and intimidation are not speech [01:02:01] we must stand against violence in any [01:02:03] form [01:02:04] regardless of your rationale [01:02:07] second [01:02:08] i know [01:02:10] so many of us are frustrated and [01:02:12] disillusioned the court has taken [01:02:14] something away that's so fundamental [01:02:17] i know so many women are now going to [01:02:19] face incredibly difficult situations [01:02:22] i hear you [01:02:24] i support you [01:02:26] i stand with you [01:02:28] the consequences [01:02:31] and the consensus [01:02:33] the american people [01:02:36] core principles of equality [01:02:39] liberty [01:02:40] dignity [01:02:42] and the stability of the rule of law [01:02:45] demand that rose should not have been [01:02:46] overturned [01:02:49] with this decision [01:02:51] the conservative majority of the supreme [01:02:52] court shows how extreme it is [01:02:55] how far removed they are from the [01:02:57] majority of this country [01:03:00] they made the united states an outlier [01:03:02] among developed nations in the world [01:03:05] but this decision [01:03:06] must not be the final word [01:03:10] my administration will use all of its [01:03:12] appropriate lawful powers [01:03:14] but congress must act [01:03:17] and with your vote [01:03:19] you can act [01:03:21] you can have the final word [01:03:24] this is not over [01:03:27] thank you very much more to say this in [01:03:29] weeks to come thank you [01:03:32] and he's gone and he's out all right [01:03:34] somebody grab that hook bring him out [01:03:36] and um and hook him back up to that uh [01:03:38] that catheter so there is the president [01:03:40] of the united states uh who says that it [01:03:42] is wrong and extreme and terrible and [01:03:44] horrible and no good and very bad it's [01:03:46] joe biden's no-good terrible horrible [01:03:47] very bad day uh it is worth noting here [01:03:49] that he called justice thomas extreme he [01:03:52] talked about how [01:03:54] everybody who didn't rule like he wanted [01:03:55] was wrong extreme and out of touch says [01:03:57] the president who believes that men can [01:03:59] be women and that abortion should be [01:04:01] legal on demand until point of birth [01:04:02] also happens to be a very devout [01:04:03] catholic you may notice like a very i my [01:04:05] favorite thing about joe biden is when [01:04:06] he drops phrases like for god's sake and [01:04:08] a speech about how abortion should be [01:04:09] legal until point of birth and also how [01:04:11] men should marry other men now that [01:04:12] really is when i think about real [01:04:15] catholic principles [01:04:16] that that that's what i think of i think [01:04:19] i think of joe biden very bad catholic [01:04:21] the um [01:04:22] the continuation of of insanity outside [01:04:25] the supreme court uh is ongoing i will [01:04:28] say to joe biden's credit he did call [01:04:30] for no violence he did say that he [01:04:31] condemns the violence up front which is [01:04:33] a good thing that is a good thing now [01:04:35] does that mean people are going to obey [01:04:36] him [01:04:37] probably not but the but the simple fact [01:04:39] that he did it is he gets credit for [01:04:41] that not a particular coherent speech [01:04:43] from the president he basically just [01:04:44] cribbed from the dissent talking about [01:04:46] how important [01:04:47] abortion is and how magical abortion is [01:04:50] he kept coming back to the idea that [01:04:51] there's a no fundamental right has [01:04:53] ever been taken away in american history [01:04:55] like this fundamental america well [01:04:56] actually there was a fundamental right [01:04:57] to own other human beings according to [01:04:59] dred scott d sanford up until the civil [01:05:02] war at which point it was completely [01:05:03] abolished through the death of hundreds [01:05:04] of thousands of americans and then the [01:05:05] establishment of the 13th and 14th [01:05:07] amendments so yeah that was it was [01:05:09] there been some pretty bad fun [01:05:11] fundamental rights in america before the [01:05:14] worst of which was you know owning [01:05:15] another human being but the right to [01:05:17] kill another human being in your womb [01:05:18] that's a pretty bad fundamental right [01:05:20] and so that fundamental rate being being [01:05:22] removed by the supreme court still [01:05:24] available by the way [01:05:26] uh in uh in california and new york and [01:05:28] all the rest uh that is um to him a [01:05:31] great evil that it has been removed [01:05:34] so it's um again [01:05:37] joe biden not saying anything [01:05:38] particularly convincing he thinks he's [01:05:40] going to win election based on this he [01:05:41] kept coming back to vote for democratic [01:05:42] senators vote for a democratic [01:05:44] congressperson vote for democrats in [01:05:45] your legislature that is not likely to [01:05:47] be what happens new york is likely to [01:05:50] continue to be deeply blue the people [01:05:51] who are who are most [01:05:54] involved in the abortion issue the most [01:05:56] extreme about the abortion issue live in [01:05:58] the blue states they do not live in the [01:05:59] purple states and so this issue being [01:06:02] relegated back to state level means that [01:06:03] people will vote like they typically do [01:06:05] in the states and it's precisely that [01:06:06] joe biden's objecting to [01:06:08] see here's the the crucial point what [01:06:11] joe biden objects to is the fact that [01:06:12] kansas is going to have kansas law and [01:06:13] alabama's going to have alabama on [01:06:15] mississippi is going to have mississippi [01:06:16] law he wants the supreme court to [01:06:17] declare law for everyone but the law [01:06:19] that he likes [01:06:21] well he's not getting his wish i also do [01:06:23] not think this is going to save him from [01:06:25] his own garbage presidency which has [01:06:27] left him with a 33 approval rating when [01:06:29] it comes time for the election of 2022 [01:06:32] democrats will receive a shellacking and [01:06:34] this is not likely to be at the top of [01:06:36] the ballot [01:06:37] so there is the president of the united [01:06:39] states [01:06:41] ending what is a very bad week for him [01:06:43] and a very good week for the united [01:06:45] states and for the unborn so as we say [01:06:48] now the fight [01:06:49] begins [01:06:51] in favor of the [01:06:53] unborn it begins with all of us getting [01:06:56] active at the state and local level to [01:06:57] protect the unborn [01:06:59] and um and so you know take a moment [01:07:01] take a breath it's a historically [01:07:03] wonderful day for the united states for [01:07:05] morality and for decency in the country [01:07:07] as well as for the institutional [01:07:08] credibility of a supreme court that had [01:07:10] become basically just a tool of the left [01:07:12] over the course of my entire lifetime [01:07:13]
