00:00:00.060 Welcome to the podcast. It's Pat and Stu in for Glenn today as he's on vacation.
00:00:04.700 I don't know if you noticed this. There's a big Supreme Court ruling that came out on Friday.
00:00:09.780 Why isn't anybody talking about it?
00:00:11.600 I haven't. I don't know.
00:00:12.900 You know, people don't follow this like they used to.
00:00:14.540 They're not invested in the news anymore.
00:00:17.060 But we talked a good amount about the Dobbs case that overturned Roe versus Wade on Friday.
00:00:22.320 Huge, huge development in just the scope of everything and the scope of the idiotic reaction
00:00:26.980 from the left to it, as you might expect. That was very prominent today.
00:00:31.400 Also, in the middle of the show, another big Supreme Court case broke.
00:00:35.400 You can hear that break live on the air, as it always seems to do in our hour two broadcast.
00:00:41.400 That's the Kennedy-Bremerton decision, which is the one about prayer.
00:00:46.260 Can you do that at school or can you do it only the inside walls of the church?
00:00:50.060 And that is something that Anna Navarro brings to us later on in the show,
00:00:53.440 where she just explains she's Catholic when she's in church.
00:00:56.320 And that is...
00:00:58.320 And when you're outside at church, you can't also be Catholic. 0.86
00:01:01.280 You can be Catholic all the time.
00:01:02.320 Come on.
00:01:02.980 What Catholic is Catholic all the time? 0.99
00:01:06.080 I don't know of one.
00:01:07.180 The Pope, certainly, he's just Catholic when he's in the Vatican.
00:01:09.880 When he goes to Vegas, totally different dude.
00:01:12.240 Parties, it's amazing.
00:01:13.840 So that's my understanding of it, at least.
00:01:16.620 So make sure you subscribe to the podcast and rate and review as well.
00:01:19.260 A couple other podcasts I'd like to turn you on to real quick.
00:01:21.740 Pat Grandleashed.
00:01:22.780 Indeed.
00:01:23.260 It happens every day.
00:01:24.460 You can subscribe to his podcast and rate and review him as well.
00:01:28.220 And Stu Does America.
00:01:29.780 I know we're going to be talking a lot about these issues as well.
00:01:32.500 Both podcasts available every day.
00:01:34.540 Subscribe to him.
00:01:35.120 We'd really appreciate it.
00:01:36.360 Here's the podcast of the radio show.
00:01:37.920 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:53.140 Welcome.
00:01:54.300 Glenn's on vacation this week.
00:01:55.740 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:59.380 The Roe ruling actually came down while you guys were on the air on Friday, right?
00:02:03.680 Yes.
00:02:04.000 One of our favorite things.
00:02:05.080 Yeah.
00:02:05.460 That every single Supreme Court release of opinion happens during hour two of this program.
00:02:11.700 So, Pat, we've had many memories over the years of this happening, like the Obamacare decision happening live on the air.
00:02:18.840 It's every single time.
00:02:19.820 And by the way, today is no exception.
00:02:22.020 We will have Supreme Court opinions coming down in our hour two today as well.
00:02:27.320 There's still a few big ones out there.
00:02:29.060 I mean, obviously, the Dobbs case for abortion, Roe versus Wade being overturned, is going to be the marquee thing for God only knows how long.
00:02:37.980 But there's a huge case with the EPA and the administrative state is on trial, basically, in that one.
00:02:44.180 And that one may be more specific to everybody's life, right?
00:02:49.620 Like, that's one that can affect everyday life, where this is a case basically questioning whether these, you know, administrative state apparatus can just do things on their own.
00:03:02.940 You know, can they just, what if they want to regulate CO2 emissions on their own?
00:03:07.000 What if we let them do that?
00:03:07.940 Why pass a law?
00:03:08.720 Let's just let them do it.
00:03:10.280 That whole thing is on trial right now.
00:03:12.140 And that affects every aspect of our lives.
00:03:13.920 I mean, this country has been completely remade from what it was supposed to be by the administrative state.
00:03:22.600 And so, that's a big one.
00:03:24.220 There's one big one on religious liberty.
00:03:25.860 There's a huge one on the border coming up about the remain in Mexico law.
00:03:29.280 We could get all those today.
00:03:30.140 I think there's eight remaining.
00:03:31.580 So, we will have those in hour two of the program.
00:03:34.000 And I don't think we'll get eight in one day.
00:03:36.540 They'll probably announce another decision day this week.
00:03:38.480 But that's coming up today as well.
00:03:40.520 The Dobbs case, though, is still, it's not a one-day story, Pad.
00:03:44.520 No.
00:03:45.680 No, especially with the reaction to it.
00:03:48.260 Yeah.
00:03:49.560 Did Biden speak in time for you guys to play his thoughts on Friday?
00:03:55.260 I talked about it on Studios America on my show, which airs later on in the day here on Blaze TV.
00:04:00.780 But I don't think it happened during the show.
00:04:03.480 I think it was right after it.
00:04:04.400 Yeah.
00:04:05.120 Here's what Joe had to say about the ruling initially.
00:04:12.500 Today is a, it's not hyperbole to suggest, a very solemn moment.
00:04:19.040 Yeah.
00:04:19.700 Today, the Supreme Court of the United States expressly took away the constitutional right from the American people.
00:04:26.160 No.
00:04:26.680 No, they didn't.
00:04:27.240 That had it already recognized.
00:04:29.480 No.
00:04:30.440 They didn't limit it.
00:04:31.780 They simply took it away.
00:04:32.920 Today, it didn't take it away.
00:04:36.160 It wasn't there.
00:04:36.680 It's so important to so many Americans.
00:04:38.700 It really isn't.
00:04:39.480 But they did it.
00:04:40.460 They did it.
00:04:41.280 It's a sad day for the court and for the country.
00:04:44.120 No, it was a great day.
00:04:45.180 50 years ago, Roe v. Wade was decided and has been the law of the land since then.
00:04:51.540 Oh, wow.
00:04:51.980 This landmark case protected a woman's right to choose. 0.67
00:04:55.540 A right to make intensely personal decisions with her doctor.
00:04:59.200 Intensely personal.
00:05:00.200 Free from the interference of politics.
00:05:02.760 I don't know what word that word.
00:05:04.240 It reaffirmed basic principles of equality.
00:05:06.820 Oh, quality.
00:05:07.300 Women have the power to control their own destiny. 1.00
00:05:09.940 That's really neat.
00:05:10.560 And it reinforced a fundamental right of privacy.
00:05:13.500 Oh, no.
00:05:14.180 The right of each of us to choose how to live our lives.
00:05:17.840 You don't have the privacy to kill human beings.
00:05:19.280 Now, with Roe gone.
00:05:20.760 Well, what if you do in private?
00:05:21.480 Let's be very clear.
00:05:22.420 No, it's still.
00:05:23.400 The health and life of women in this nation.
00:05:26.040 Most murders happen in private.
00:05:27.340 Risk.
00:05:28.000 Really?
00:05:28.380 Yeah.
00:05:29.120 As chairman or ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
00:05:30.860 Is that why they always make the distinction public execution?
00:05:33.300 Vice president and now as president.
00:05:35.020 That's the abnormal way of doing it.
00:05:36.580 I've studied this case carefully.
00:05:38.720 I've overseen more Supreme Court confirmations than anyone today.
00:05:42.860 Oh, so this is your fault.
00:05:43.860 In this case, it was always discussed.
00:05:46.560 It was.
00:05:47.560 I believe Roe v. Wade was the correct decision. 0.93
00:05:50.260 No, you didn't.
00:05:51.040 As a matter of constant law.
00:05:51.960 We know you don't.
00:05:52.680 You said it before.
00:05:53.520 The fundamental right to privacy and liberty in matters of family and personal autonomy.
00:06:00.420 It was a decision.
00:06:01.660 Which you don't have with the vaccine, by the way.
00:06:04.000 No, of course not.
00:06:04.700 A careful balance between a woman's right to choose earlier in her pregnancy and the state's
00:06:10.180 ability to regulate later in her pregnancy.
00:06:13.280 Right.
00:06:13.600 A decision with broad national consensus.
00:06:16.860 No.
00:06:17.400 Most Americans have faced the background.
00:06:20.260 Hold on.
00:06:20.640 Stop it.
00:06:20.980 Stop it.
00:06:21.440 You could describe abortion a lot of ways.
00:06:24.980 Arguing there is a broad national consensus is not one of them.
00:06:28.720 That is not a good.
00:06:30.100 It's not a good summary.
00:06:31.220 It's just a lie.
00:06:31.800 Right.
00:06:32.040 This is a very divisive issue.
00:06:34.180 It's one that I think the other side is completely insane on.
00:06:38.560 I mean, frankly, I can't even understand the arguments most of the time.
00:06:43.100 They're so stupid.
00:06:45.320 However, I can even acknowledge there's not a national consensus on abortion.
00:06:50.640 No, there's a lot of disagreement.
00:06:52.400 I mean, there's a national consensus basically on certain aspects of it.
00:06:56.160 Like, for example, you shouldn't have it in the third trimester.
00:06:58.460 There's basically a national consensus that the stated platform position of the Democratic Party is against the consensus that we could be clear on.
00:07:07.720 Other than that, really, there's not much of one.
00:07:10.540 Maybe on life of the mother.
00:07:12.580 I mean, life of the mother, even in all these states that are, you know, banning abortion like Texas, there's still an exception for life of the mother.
00:07:19.400 That was in there.
00:07:20.480 That was basically in the Kavanaugh concurrence that, you know, signified, look, if you go after life of the mother, we're not going to rule on your side on that.
00:07:30.020 Like, I mean, that one seems to be the one that there's pretty much consensus on, I guess.
00:07:35.320 But not a lot of aspects of abortion.
00:07:37.380 There's consensus on, Pat.
00:07:38.540 No, that is true.
00:07:40.000 And, you know, even he is at odds with himself.
00:07:42.800 Yes.
00:07:43.260 From 16 years ago.
00:07:45.240 Here's what he said back in 2006.
00:07:47.900 I do not view abortion as a choice and a right.
00:07:53.140 I think it's always a tragedy.
00:07:55.100 And I think that it should be rare and safe.
00:07:58.920 And I think we should be focusing on how to limit the number of abortions.
00:08:02.420 And they ought to be able to have a common ground and consensus as to do that.
00:08:06.700 Is that amazing?
00:08:07.600 He doesn't look at it as a right.
00:08:11.920 That's amazing.
00:08:12.800 If that was a clip from 1982, which, by the way, he was still, you know, in public office then, maybe you could say, all right, it's been a while.
00:08:22.940 He changed over time.
00:08:23.880 2006?
00:08:25.000 Yeah.
00:08:25.480 That's amazing.
00:08:26.140 I didn't realize it was that recent.
00:08:27.300 I had heard that clip.
00:08:27.980 I didn't realize it was that recent.
00:08:29.020 That's 2006.
00:08:30.180 That's incredible.
00:08:31.060 Yeah.
00:08:31.220 I mean, and, you know, I want to ask you this, Pat, because I was thinking about this over the weekend.
00:08:35.320 And there's so much to think about in this case.
00:08:37.680 And we could talk, we could honestly talk about this the whole time, I'm sure.
00:08:40.820 But would this, could this have happened in the era where Democrats sounded like that?
00:08:48.700 Like, when Democrats were pitching the safe, legal, and rare thing, when they were saying, look, it's always a tragedy.
00:08:57.880 This is a, essentially, a necessary evil, was their case.
00:09:01.900 It's a terrible, terrible thing.
00:09:03.240 We all hate it.
00:09:04.120 But gosh, sometimes these circumstances require it and we wish they didn't.
00:09:09.020 Now, it's like, it's an amusement park.
00:09:12.800 Yeah.
00:09:13.480 Abortion is fun.
00:09:14.660 It's fun.
00:09:15.300 Shout it.
00:09:16.280 Shout your abortion. 1.00
00:09:17.160 We went from the safe, legal, and rare era to the shout your abortion era. 0.96
00:09:21.780 Yeah.
00:09:21.960 And we see how well that worked for Democrats.
00:09:23.920 Not very well.
00:09:24.720 I think that that's part of what caused this.
00:09:28.820 I think so, too.
00:09:29.920 I think they played their hand.
00:09:31.640 They overplayed their hand.
00:09:33.080 Yeah.
00:09:33.820 And it went the other way on them now.
00:09:36.260 The pendulum swinging back the other way.
00:09:38.800 Because of some of that craziness, you could argue that's why Trump got elected in the first place.
00:09:43.900 Right.
00:09:44.080 You could argue that was why Republicans were more apt to go along with justices who were, who they were really confident would overturn Roe versus Wade.
00:09:54.140 I think you can argue, you know, remember, Republicans had enough justices to overturn this in place many times.
00:10:00.880 And the reason why it didn't happen was because of people like Anthony Kennedy, who would flake at the last minute and decide, oh, well, we've got a compromise position.
00:10:12.240 You know, Casey is terrible.
00:10:14.520 Both Roe versus Wade and Casey versus Planned Parenthood were terrible decisions.
00:10:19.440 Yeah.
00:10:19.520 And a lot of it, especially Casey, seemed to be fueled on this, well, we can't really shake things up that much.
00:10:25.440 You know, I don't think it's right to shake things up that much.
00:10:27.880 We've obviously seen that sort of behavior from John Roberts.
00:10:30.160 We even saw it in the Dobbs opinion.
00:10:34.360 And I think.
00:10:35.380 Yeah.
00:10:35.560 He just wanted he wanted the narrow ruling.
00:10:37.940 Yes.
00:10:38.240 Right.
00:10:38.420 Just on Dobbs.
00:10:39.320 He didn't want to rule on on Roe versus Wade.
00:10:41.940 Yeah.
00:10:42.500 If it was up to him.
00:10:43.420 And again, he even he essentially says in his concurring opinion.
00:10:48.240 Yeah.
00:10:48.700 These guys are pretty much right.
00:10:50.380 But it seems mean.
00:10:53.460 You know, it seems a little upsetting and I don't want to be mean.
00:10:58.860 I mean, it really does seem like he he even is clear how bad it is.
00:11:02.800 So his opinion would have been OK.
00:11:05.020 Mississippi can keep their 15 week thing. 1.00
00:11:07.280 Right.
00:11:07.860 You're not going to overturn Roe versus Wade.
00:11:09.480 But 15 weeks is rational and there's some sort of rational position.
00:11:13.280 He wanted to do essentially what Casey did, which was come up with some new standard that as as Alito pointed out, neither side in this case even asked for.
00:11:24.740 It wasn't just like it was the conservative side saying, hey, let's get rid of this.
00:11:29.180 And the liberal side was saying, let just 15 weeks or give us some other new standard that we can all work with.
00:11:36.220 Roberts just invented that himself.
00:11:38.120 Right.
00:11:38.600 He's like, what if I what if we do this?
00:11:41.300 And that's what he does.
00:11:42.400 That's what he does.
00:11:43.180 Right.
00:11:43.420 He's terrible.
00:11:44.240 Time after time.
00:11:45.240 He did it with Obamacare.
00:11:47.220 He's he's done it multiple times.
00:11:49.540 He's agonizing.
00:11:50.860 He really is agonizing.
00:11:52.740 But I am still shocked.
00:11:55.660 You you and I have said many times there's no way they're going to overturn Roe v.
00:11:59.580 Wade.
00:12:00.000 Yes, there is no way that's going to happen.
00:12:02.400 This court will not do that.
00:12:03.920 Do you have any confidence this court will do it?
00:12:05.720 No, no.
00:12:06.320 I don't have any confidence this will do it.
00:12:08.820 The Democrats all thought, yeah, oh, they're going to.
00:12:11.320 And they they were right.
00:12:12.820 Fortunately, turned out they were right.
00:12:14.500 The one time I will be very pleased to admit both they are right and I was wrong.
00:12:18.440 I did not think I'd ever see that day.
00:12:20.120 No way.
00:12:20.760 No.
00:12:20.920 Especially not right now.
00:12:24.480 I mean.
00:12:25.340 And to be clear, in some ways, the same things we always worried about, one of the conservative
00:12:31.020 justices flaking occurred.
00:12:33.160 It occurred with Roberts.
00:12:34.980 Yeah.
00:12:35.360 Who didn't go along with this.
00:12:36.880 And it sort of occurred with Kavanaugh, who wrote a concurring opinion that basically
00:12:42.340 said, eh, I don't know.
00:12:45.020 I mean, I'm going along with this, but I'm a little wishy-washy on it.
00:12:48.440 You know, like it almost didn't happen this time.
00:12:51.400 Right.
00:12:51.720 But thank God it did.
00:12:53.120 Thank God.
00:12:53.840 It was 6-3 on Dobbs, right?
00:12:56.380 Yeah.
00:12:56.680 But 5-4, I think, on overturning Roe v. Wade.
00:12:59.460 Yeah, the way they say 5-3-1, essentially, like when it comes to Dobbs, he went along
00:13:06.240 with it, but he did not want to overturn Roe v. Wade, which is incredible.
00:13:11.840 He's terrible.
00:13:13.000 And it's incredible to step back on how many times Republicans missed with these Supreme
00:13:19.960 Court justices.
00:13:20.820 I mean, they just missed and missed and missed and missed.
00:13:23.140 All of them missed.
00:13:23.900 The only person you'd say, we don't have evidence of them missing on this particular
00:13:27.660 case is Trump.
00:13:29.120 Right.
00:13:29.580 Who seemingly went 3-for-3, or at least got 3-for-3 on this.
00:13:32.280 Three home runs.
00:13:33.020 And he pointed that out.
00:13:34.060 Oh, yes.
00:13:34.560 Obviously, on Friday.
00:13:35.760 He pointed that out.
00:13:36.960 And he's right.
00:13:37.720 He's right.
00:13:38.140 He deserves a lot of credit for it.
00:13:38.860 He deserves a lot of credit.
00:13:41.160 Now, a lot of people have fought for this for a really long time.
00:13:44.480 Yes.
00:13:44.860 But President Trump deserves a lot of credit for this.
00:13:48.120 He deserves a ton of credit for it.
00:13:49.640 You know, he said he would come.
00:13:50.800 And interestingly, he said he would come in and pick off a list of 21 Supreme Court justices,
00:13:56.560 basically hand-selected by the Federalist Society.
00:13:58.560 And so, the Federalist Society also deserves a lot of credit on this.
00:14:02.040 But it's interesting.
00:14:04.480 He picked Gorsuch from that list and then expanded the list.
00:14:07.520 So, his other two picks, both Kavanaugh and Barrett, were not on the initial list.
00:14:11.860 People forget this.
00:14:13.020 He did not actually pick all three justices from the list.
00:14:15.860 He picked one justice from the list.
00:14:17.700 The other two were expanded.
00:14:18.800 And the belief is, particularly with Kavanaugh, that Kennedy was just not going to step down
00:14:24.460 unless he had the guy he wanted to step in for him.
00:14:28.340 Anyway, long story short, he picked three and they were all right on this one.
00:14:32.220 And honestly, like, we could talk about elections.
00:14:34.920 We could talk about future appointments.
00:14:36.860 All of that.
00:14:38.780 None of it.
00:14:39.400 I mean, like, Kavanaugh could suck from here on out and it would be disappointing.
00:14:43.900 But the fact that this came through is already Trump's legacy, right?
00:14:48.080 It's already done now, which is huge.
00:14:53.140 You know, look, people, and we bash him all the time.
00:14:56.460 And we, also, Mitch McConnell deserves credit for this.
00:14:59.960 Yeah, because he does.
00:15:01.560 He delayed that, which is why they call it illegitimate, illegitimate Supreme Court.
00:15:06.760 Why?
00:15:07.000 Because they waited for the next president?
00:15:09.020 No, it's perfectly constitutional.
00:15:11.340 Yeah.
00:15:11.540 They did something they're perfectly within their rights to do.
00:15:15.140 You're talking about the Merrick Garland delay.
00:15:17.160 Merrick Garland delay.
00:15:18.120 Yeah.
00:15:18.460 Waiting until Trump became president.
00:15:20.460 And that's part of it.
00:15:21.220 He waited until Trump became president, which gave us Gorsuch.
00:15:24.120 Although, I will point out, the Republicans held the Senate at that time.
00:15:27.480 So, even if there was a vote and he didn't hold the line.
00:15:29.920 That's true.
00:15:30.400 They likely would have rejected whoever it was, which would have been okay. 1.00
00:15:33.900 But, I mean, he also pushed, you know, he got all three of these through the Senate.
00:15:37.580 You know how shady the Senate can be at times?
00:15:39.680 Very.
00:15:39.840 Very small majorities.
00:15:41.600 They got them through.
00:15:42.480 And then the third name we really need to give credit to, Pat, is Harry Reid.
00:15:47.480 Because without Harry Reid upending the judicial filibuster in 2013.
00:15:54.100 Right.
00:15:54.660 Now, they wanted their power then.
00:15:56.480 And this is a good lesson for Democrats.
00:15:58.300 You want to grab power however you can.
00:16:00.600 Elizabeth Warren's asking for packing the court. 0.87
00:16:03.060 Think of how this feels later on.
00:16:05.080 Think of it.
00:16:05.820 Because you grabbed power with no justification.
00:16:08.960 And this is how that story ended.
00:16:12.540 Exactly.
00:16:13.480 And people forget that part of it.
00:16:15.260 Yeah.
00:16:15.380 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program, and we really want to thank you for listening.
00:16:29.400 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program this week.
00:16:31.820 You know, something we talk about from time to time is how passionate the left is about abortion.
00:16:41.880 It's fascinating.
00:16:43.280 It's like a religion to them.
00:16:46.280 It's more of a religion, I think, than even climate change is.
00:16:51.220 They love abortion. 0.83
00:16:54.620 The fact that they can kill babies is just so important to them.
00:17:03.420 And so, when they perceive that they've lost that right, which, again, they really haven't lost the right.
00:17:11.640 There's still going to be places where you can get abortions if you really want it. 1.00
00:17:16.100 But the reaction is amazing.
00:17:21.520 Look at this woman who throws a pillow down. 1.00
00:17:26.200 She's got knee pads on because she's very animated about the Roe v. Wade decision.
00:17:37.600 Oh, wow.
00:17:38.560 I mean, I'm sorry.
00:17:49.720 That's just a little irrational.
00:17:51.680 I don't want to be a flip-flopper here, but in her case, she should be able to abort her kids. 1.00
00:17:56.100 You know, I just don't think any of us are arguing for her to be a parent.
00:18:03.980 That's unbelievable.
00:18:05.300 That's psychotic.
00:18:05.900 That's bizarre.
00:18:06.600 It's so weird, too, the performative nature of it.
00:18:08.900 Because, you know, if you're listening to radio, you can only hear the screaming and the bleeping.
00:18:13.960 She's in a leopard print, like, onesie thing, leotard deal.
00:18:18.420 Yeah.
00:18:18.800 She's doing that.
00:18:19.900 And someone else, crucially, is holding the camera.
00:18:23.540 Yeah.
00:18:23.920 Right?
00:18:24.160 Like, this is a performance.
00:18:25.500 As if they think this is a good representation of their movement.
00:18:30.380 Hey, honey, you film me while I throw a pillow down and then just go ape crap on video.
00:18:37.340 How would that be?
00:18:37.940 I'll just start screaming and shaking wildly.
00:18:41.480 And people are going to love it.
00:18:43.480 They're going to love the response.
00:18:45.260 Yes.
00:18:46.580 Amazing.
00:18:47.380 Weird.
00:18:48.100 Hey, Pat, let me break in here real quick just to give you a little news update.
00:18:51.440 We are now in the middle of Supreme Court time.
00:18:53.780 And we have a very good one yet again.
00:18:56.020 More good news from this court.
00:18:57.560 Oh, wow.
00:18:58.060 As Bremerton, Kennedy versus Bremerton.
00:19:00.520 This is the case of Coach Kennedy.
00:19:02.220 I think, I don't know if you had him on, Pat, on Pat Gray Unleashed.
00:19:04.820 I had him on in Studios America.
00:19:06.020 We had him on here on the radio show.
00:19:07.660 A coach who was praying at the 50-yard line after his games, never asking anybody to come
00:19:15.340 join him.
00:19:16.920 They said that he got fired for this.
00:19:19.020 And they said, you're not allowed.
00:19:20.180 It's a separation of church and state issues.
00:19:22.000 Again, something that's not in the U.S. Constitution.
00:19:26.360 Another thing that isn't in the U.S. Constitution.
00:19:28.580 Right.
00:19:29.180 But that one was written by Gorsuch, a 6-3 decision, as you would expect.
00:19:35.460 Sotomayor, Breyer, and Kagan on the wrong side of that, as they always are.
00:19:40.060 But that is a big one.
00:19:41.540 That was one of the three or four big ones remaining.
00:19:44.660 And it goes the correct way.
00:19:46.740 How do you see that any other way?
00:19:48.760 Any other way.
00:19:49.180 Than slapping that down.
00:19:51.260 It's not.
00:19:52.780 I mean, if you're a Supreme Court justice, you should know the Constitution well enough
00:19:58.660 to understand separation of church and state is not really a thing in the United States
00:20:05.840 Constitution.
00:20:07.220 The only thing about the church and state is that the state shall not establish a religion.
00:20:14.760 They shall not make no law establishing a religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
00:20:22.540 Yep.
00:20:22.920 That's it.
00:20:23.440 That's it.
00:20:24.060 I mean, literally to the point, Pat, that they encouraged states to form their own state
00:20:29.820 churches.
00:20:30.440 Yeah.
00:20:31.060 There were state churches in effect when this went on.
00:20:34.420 One of the first acts of the Congress was to have a prayer.
00:20:40.720 It was a congressional.
00:20:41.680 And of course, we still have congressional days of prayer from time to time.
00:20:44.360 They printed a Bible.
00:20:45.340 They printed a Bible.
00:20:46.120 Yeah.
00:20:46.280 They held prayer.
00:20:47.760 I mean, it's so over the top of the other way.
00:20:49.820 Yeah.
00:20:49.940 And this is not even that we're not even talking about like, oh, well, Congress should get
00:20:53.900 together and pray every day on, you know, on the floor of, you know, of the Senate or
00:20:58.060 whatever, which they do, which they do, by the way, and still do.
00:21:00.880 And they still have national days of prayer and all this stuff still occurs.
00:21:03.880 Yeah.
00:21:04.180 But regardless of that, you can't do that.
00:21:07.100 This is basically a coach who after the games, because he had a crazy life and decided
00:21:13.260 after all these games would end, he said, you know what?
00:21:16.900 I've gone through so much, I'm going to thank God every day.
00:21:20.340 And after these games, I'm just going to go to the 50 yard line, take a knee, say a silent
00:21:23.540 prayer.
00:21:24.900 And you can only take a knee if it's in protest of the United States flag.
00:21:32.060 That's the only way.
00:21:33.100 It's the only way that's constitutional.
00:21:34.700 The same people who will say Colin Kaepernick has a right to be able to.
00:21:40.640 Now, of course, in a private business like that, he doesn't actually have a right to
00:21:44.640 do that.
00:21:44.920 Now, I don't care if he does it.
00:21:46.900 Now, he can't get on the field because he's such a terrible quarterback, but if he could
00:21:51.000 get on the field, I don't necessarily care if he does it.
00:21:53.740 I don't take my political advice from athletes.
00:21:57.160 That's not the way it works for me.
00:21:59.260 I try to come up with those opinions on my own so they can come up with their own dumb
00:22:02.780 opinions all they want and express them however they want.
00:22:05.260 I don't care.
00:22:05.700 I'll just ignore them.
00:22:06.760 But the NFL has, they can absolutely stop them from doing that if they want to.
00:22:10.660 But however, like, I guess you're able to fire a coach for just taking a knee and praying.
00:22:17.700 That's just not true.
00:22:18.920 This First Amendment, the freedom of religion, does not stop at your door, does not stop at
00:22:23.920 the door of the church.
00:22:24.780 It is something you're able to do, just like we just learned, or at least the left just
00:22:30.000 learned with the Second Amendment.
00:22:31.920 The Second Amendment also doesn't stop at your front door. 0.97
00:22:35.300 That's not where that right ends.
00:22:37.000 It is a right, and you can carry your gun around, and they shall issue it to you, that
00:22:43.980 permit.
00:22:44.300 So anyway, long story short, that is a big case, probably one of the biggest ones remaining
00:22:49.780 that you are apparently, you do have some religious liberty.
00:22:54.600 This court, I will say, has been good on these issues, and people, let me give credit where
00:22:58.980 credit is due as well, to First Liberty Institute.
00:23:02.000 Friends of the show, you know, all those guys over there, Jeremy Dice, and, you know, the
00:23:07.840 whole crew, has done such a great job in being relentless, pushing for religious liberty,
00:23:15.700 and for the court to respect it.
00:23:17.520 And this was, you know, this was their case.
00:23:20.680 I mean, they argued in front of the Supreme Court.
00:23:24.580 They've shepherded this thing through all the way and did an incredible thing.
00:23:27.600 They've made a real difference.
00:23:29.880 You know, there's been a lot of criticism of conservatism, of originalism, of the conservative
00:23:35.040 legal project in general.
00:23:36.620 Oh, we don't get enough results.
00:23:38.840 I mean, it's hard to argue with this right now.
00:23:41.900 You know, this has been an incredible achievement, and I think, you look at it, everybody from
00:23:46.840 all aspects of conservatism has made this stuff possible.
00:23:49.840 You know, you can look, we named a few of the names, President Trump, even people like
00:23:53.600 Mitch McConnell, First Liberty Institute, the Federalist Society.
00:23:57.120 These are widely varying views in a lot of these groups, but all generally just wanted
00:24:02.200 the Constitution respected, and we're seeing that happen.
00:24:05.320 Yeah.
00:24:05.600 It's incredible.
00:24:05.980 And that's, I mean, another, as you mentioned, another great ruling.
00:24:09.640 Maybe we'll get one on climate change as well, which would be great.
00:24:13.400 Yeah.
00:24:13.620 They've got an environmental opinion coming up.
00:24:16.500 That's the, I mean.
00:24:17.160 Is that going to happen today?
00:24:18.100 It may.
00:24:18.700 There's, so we just got another one, it's Concepcion, which we'll go through here in a
00:24:22.820 minute.
00:24:23.360 But not, EPA versus West Virginia is the, I don't know, maybe the biggest one I'm looking
00:24:27.560 at right now.
00:24:28.660 Um, because that one I think will, they might save that till Thursday or Friday or something.
00:24:34.000 You know, again, who knows?
00:24:35.700 I will say they are always up for surprises, aren't they?
00:24:38.340 Like Friday.
00:24:38.980 Yeah.
00:24:39.360 That was a big surprise.
00:24:40.320 I thought that would be the last one they announced.
00:24:42.320 And that's like a traditional thing.
00:24:44.120 They leave these, these sort of, uh, controversial ones to the last day.
00:24:48.480 But that's not a rule.
00:24:49.900 Like they can do that.
00:24:50.760 Right.
00:24:50.960 They can do it whenever, whenever they want.
00:24:52.720 We do know that we have at least one more coming here as we speaking, um, as we're sitting
00:24:57.340 here.
00:24:58.000 Um, and it looks like this one was okay.
00:25:01.320 Well, we'll go through, we'll go through the whole, this whole thing in just a minute
00:25:03.500 because we're running late already.
00:25:04.900 But, uh, this was, uh, we will at least have one more coming today.
00:25:09.040 There's eight remaining coming into the day.
00:25:11.220 We have two so far.
00:25:12.180 We're going to have a third one at least.
00:25:13.940 Now, does the coach, by the way, does the coach get his job back?
00:25:16.600 Did they, I asked him that in the interview and I can't remember what he said.
00:25:21.020 I think he, I think he was actually open to it.
00:25:23.960 It was, he was an interesting guy.
00:25:25.480 I don't think I'd want my job back.
00:25:26.740 Yeah.
00:25:26.880 I told him I would like, I, I would hate these people.
00:25:29.340 Yeah.
00:25:29.560 Right.
00:25:29.800 And they, they, they, they screwed him over.
00:25:31.820 I believe in a big way.
00:25:33.180 Yes.
00:25:33.440 He had a totally different perspective on it.
00:25:35.340 Like his perspective was number one, he's not like a pastor.
00:25:41.920 This guy is not a religious zealot.
00:25:44.960 But he is not the guy who is going, you know, who is like, every time you talk to him, he's
00:25:50.220 got a new scripture he's quoting.
00:25:51.640 He's just like totally a normal guy who just believed he wanted to pray.
00:25:56.960 Like it was, he's not like, you know, what you would think of when you think of a guy standing
00:26:01.360 up at the Supreme court.
00:26:02.600 Did they warn him or ask him to do this somewhere else?
00:26:06.360 Yeah.
00:26:06.580 Yeah.
00:26:06.720 So what initially he started, if I'm remembering the story right, I think I am.
00:26:11.500 Initially, he started doing it by himself at the 50 yard line.
00:26:14.220 Oh, did the team join in?
00:26:15.140 And then the team.
00:26:15.920 Oh no.
00:26:16.420 Saw him do it.
00:26:17.180 What a terrible influence.
00:26:18.400 And said, coach, can we come pray with you?
00:26:20.060 And he's like, yeah, sure.
00:26:21.660 Of course.
00:26:21.960 It's America.
00:26:22.740 Yeah.
00:26:22.980 So he went, took a knee at the 50 yard line.
00:26:24.880 He started, some of the players started gathering.
00:26:26.620 I remember that.
00:26:27.080 Over time, even the other teams would start coming and gathering at, at the center of the field.
00:26:31.820 That's unacceptable because you got a whole bunch of people praying.
00:26:34.080 We can't have that.
00:26:34.840 So not on government school grounds.
00:26:37.660 Now that's a terrible point and not true, but that's what they said.
00:26:41.520 And the school came to him and said, look, we know, we know we love you and everything,
00:26:45.520 but you can't do it because people, everyone's, you can't bring other people involved because
00:26:50.300 people are worried that you'll have influence over them.
00:26:52.440 And he said, you know what?
00:26:53.440 Okay.
00:26:53.960 I will tell my team not to come out.
00:26:57.140 So he told them, look, you guys can't come with me and pray out in the center because it's
00:27:01.320 a big controversial thing.
00:27:02.360 So then he went out and started doing it by himself again and they still fired him.
00:27:06.360 Oh man.
00:27:07.260 So he was only doing it by himself and specifically asked for other people not to join.
00:27:11.500 And, um, but his opinion seemed to be closer to, look, I don't think they wanted to do this
00:27:16.860 to me.
00:27:17.240 They just felt they had to.
00:27:18.880 I think that was really how he took it.
00:27:20.740 Again, shows the ignorance in this country about things that are not in the United States
00:27:27.560 constitution.
00:27:28.460 They're such ignorance.
00:27:30.700 Such ignorance.
00:27:31.000 And just because people say it over and over and over that there's separation of church
00:27:37.880 and state, separation of church and state.
00:27:39.900 So people get into this little world where I'm sorry, you can't, you can't bring religion 1.00
00:27:46.440 into this anywhere on school grounds.
00:27:49.500 Well, what, what are you talking about?
00:27:51.920 Of course I can, but that's not the perception and the perception has been reality for a long
00:27:57.760 time.
00:27:57.980 And hopefully this decision will change that.
00:28:00.440 Yeah.
00:28:00.860 That's a big deal.
00:28:01.860 That's a big deal.
00:28:02.500 It really is.
00:28:03.060 Religious liberty is really doing well right now.
00:28:04.640 And I think, you know, I'm hoping for one of the big things I'm hoping for is that many
00:28:08.880 more of these cases and hopefully a definitive one gets to the Supreme Court as it relates
00:28:12.900 to not just, uh, not just church, but churches specifically when it comes to all the COVID
00:28:18.280 restrictions.
00:28:18.820 You know, the fact that they were trying to force churches to close down.
00:28:21.800 You have absolutely.
00:28:22.840 Not just trying, they did.
00:28:24.080 They did.
00:28:24.740 They did.
00:28:25.380 I just don't think they did it legally.
00:28:27.020 And we've seen low, some lower courts have issues with them and get some of that stuff 0.55
00:28:30.880 overturned.
00:28:31.320 First Liberty worked on that stuff as well.
00:28:32.760 But I would like to see one of these things go up to the, to the, to the Supreme Court
00:28:37.200 level and have it be very clear that the government can make recommendations.
00:28:41.320 They can say, Hey, this is what we think you should do.
00:28:43.920 Here's our best health advice.
00:28:45.620 Here's what our experts are saying.
00:28:47.280 And all that's fine.
00:28:48.140 They can do all that stuff.
00:28:49.380 They cannot stop you.
00:28:51.060 They cannot stop you from opening your business.
00:28:53.020 I don't think that should happen either, but certainly when it comes to a house of
00:28:58.460 worship, the government absolutely should not be able to do that.
00:29:03.100 Yeah.
00:29:03.420 And, uh, you know, look, most churches went along with the advice and just decided, look,
00:29:09.920 we think this is the best thing.
00:29:11.040 And that's totally fine too.
00:29:12.700 If they want, if that's what they believe the decision is, they, they can make that decision.
00:29:16.400 But the government cannot enforce that.
00:29:19.920 Absolutely not.
00:29:21.060 It's, it's insanity.
00:29:23.020 And the, the whole theory is so upside down, like the state needs to be protected from
00:29:29.620 religion.
00:29:30.580 No, that wasn't the founder's problem.
00:29:32.980 The problem was religion being protected from the state. 0.59
00:29:37.640 That's what they were concerned with.
00:29:39.060 And that's what they were trying to do.
00:29:40.900 And this ruling helps along those lines.
00:29:44.560 The best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:29:50.860 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
00:29:52.760 What are we, a week from the 4th of July, right?
00:29:55.760 It's next Monday.
00:29:56.780 Yeah.
00:29:57.200 Wow.
00:29:57.980 Wow.
00:29:58.820 Happen fast.
00:29:59.500 If you, you still have a chance to get the greatest cookie on earth.
00:30:04.820 If you want by the 4th of July, we can guarantee delivery.
00:30:08.460 If you order today from Kexi.com today's the day.
00:30:12.320 Today's the day.
00:30:13.080 Yeah.
00:30:13.380 I will say I've had this last batch of cookies you've produced.
00:30:16.000 Yeah.
00:30:16.280 I mean,
00:30:17.100 just with the salted caramel.
00:30:18.460 The one that I fell absolutely in love with.
00:30:23.360 Now, they're all really great.
00:30:24.680 But the one that I had a special relationship with was the coconut cream.
00:30:29.500 Oh.
00:30:30.020 Oh my, I just love that thing.
00:30:31.380 I did not expect.
00:30:32.120 I mean, it was just fantastic.
00:30:33.620 That's great.
00:30:34.120 It's the best one that I've had in a while.
00:30:36.120 I love it.
00:30:36.940 I got to stay away from them.
00:30:38.540 And by the way, that's available.
00:30:40.500 Just go to Kexi.com to order yours.
00:30:43.180 We've been discussing the incredible insanity coming out of the left since the verdict.
00:30:50.140 And, you know, we were warned.
00:30:52.220 We've been warned for the last, how long has it been since the verdict was leaked?
00:30:56.320 Like three months?
00:30:57.680 A couple months, yeah.
00:30:58.080 And we've been warned the whole time to expect violence from both sides.
00:31:04.500 And we were all, wait.
00:31:06.460 Wait, why?
00:31:06.980 Why would we, on the right, go out and, you know, overturn cop cars and set buildings on fire?
00:31:15.640 Why would we do that when we like this ruling?
00:31:18.520 Maybe you forgot about January 6th.
00:31:22.160 No, I didn't.
00:31:23.260 But what does that have to do with anything?
00:31:26.220 Well, that's just who you people are.
00:31:28.140 That's really, and that's one of the reasons why January 6th really pisses me off.
00:31:31.660 Me too.
00:31:32.060 Because now they have this one thing to point to.
00:31:34.720 They've got two things.
00:31:35.640 They have Charlottesville and January 6th.
00:31:39.200 And that's pretty much it, you know.
00:31:40.860 I mean, like, you know, obviously there have been, over the years, unfortunately, a couple
00:31:46.000 of high-profile abortion protester types that have done really terrible things and have
00:31:50.940 been immediately condemned by every single person I've ever known on the right.
00:31:57.680 You know, Eric Rudolph and, you know, the Kansas abortion killer.
00:32:03.360 There's been a couple of incidents.
00:32:05.800 I would not deny that there have been a couple.
00:32:08.140 It's been very, very limited over the course of a 50-year battle.
00:32:12.160 Very limited.
00:32:13.220 Especially when the stakes are 65 million lives.
00:32:15.980 Yeah.
00:32:16.420 You know what I mean?
00:32:16.920 Like, when you think of how, what a life and death situation this is, I mean, in some
00:32:22.240 ways you're surprised there hasn't been more terrible behavior.
00:32:25.260 It's really been done, as we mentioned before the break, within the bounds of the system,
00:32:29.980 exactly the way it's supposed to be done.
00:32:31.800 Yeah.
00:32:32.080 You know?
00:32:32.640 You have, you elect people, you, you, but before that, long before that, there was a,
00:32:38.600 a, a long-term grooming of conservative legal scholars, activists who fought every day,
00:32:46.140 who did things like the, uh, the, the March for Life, right?
00:32:50.800 Yeah.
00:32:50.940 Year after year after year, gathered when it seemed completely hopeless.
00:32:55.860 Yes.
00:32:56.560 To the point.
00:32:57.380 And we believed it was.
00:32:58.420 When you turn on your favorite conservative talk show and you'd hear Pat Gray and Stubergear
00:33:03.160 telling you, it's completely hopeless.
00:33:06.100 I mean, I didn't really believe it was that dire, but I never thought I would see the day.
00:33:11.080 No.
00:33:11.680 Uh, where Roe versus Wade was even overturned.
00:33:14.100 And there's a lot more to do on this, on this fight.
00:33:16.580 I mean, it doesn't, you know, we really have prevented no abortions at this point when
00:33:20.080 it's important to, to be clear.
00:33:21.920 It just gives you the opportunity to argue for these things.
00:33:24.200 And in some of these states now, some of these abortions will not occur.
00:33:27.420 And that's, that's great news to me.
00:33:28.960 That means there'll be people who will be alive, will have a chance at life that did
00:33:33.360 not previously.
00:33:34.040 And I don't know how, I don't know how you can be fighting on the other side of that
00:33:36.920 battle, frankly.
00:33:37.380 I don't either.
00:33:38.120 And they fight hard.
00:33:39.560 Hard.
00:33:39.940 They fight hard.
00:33:40.800 And they make it, they make it an issue of race when we want to prevent abortions in 0.98
00:33:48.220 minority areas, you know, 80% of abortion clinics are in predominantly black areas, black and
00:33:54.840 Hispanic.
00:33:55.560 Yeah.
00:33:56.140 80%.
00:33:57.380 Jeez.
00:33:58.160 That's just awful.
00:33:58.380 And to me, that's awful.
00:33:59.780 That says, okay, we want to abort and kill as many minorities as we possibly can. 1.00
00:34:06.440 Yeah.
00:34:06.760 I mean, we are saying, no, stop that.
00:34:10.420 Let those people live.
00:34:11.440 Let them live.
00:34:12.500 Yeah.
00:34:12.680 And somehow we're the racists.
00:34:14.600 It's incredible.
00:34:15.220 It really is incredible that how that, how this has been spun.
00:34:18.180 I mean, and you listen to the coverage of this, which is not every major media organization
00:34:24.600 sent reporters to abortion clinics that found out about the ruling and then had to call
00:34:30.820 quote unquote patients to tell them they could not come in because Roe versus Wade was overturned
00:34:37.580 and now abortions are illegal in their state and them crying and sobbing about how they want 0.64
00:34:40.900 to help these poor women kill their children. 0.99
00:34:44.560 Why can we not?
00:34:45.880 Please let us do it.
00:34:47.160 Please.
00:34:47.720 It's so sad.
00:34:48.700 What a sad day.
00:34:49.740 And it's like, is there no, no awareness in the press that the other side exists to
00:34:56.920 this story?
00:34:57.500 I guess not.
00:34:58.160 They don't seem to have any interest in it.
00:34:59.660 And, you know, one of the reasons that the black population has stayed in this country 1.00
00:35:04.040 between 12 and 14% for a hundred years is because of abortion is because they're hard.
00:35:12.960 They're disproportionately aborted more than whites.
00:35:19.380 And we want that to stop.
00:35:21.560 Yeah.
00:35:21.740 And you know, we, we, and you know, who doesn't want it to stop the left, the left and Margaret
00:35:25.800 Sanger at the beginning of all this.
00:35:27.320 This is why she started Planned Parenthood in the beginning.
00:35:30.080 And it's been so successful.
00:35:31.660 Look how successful it's been.
00:35:34.320 And they love her.
00:35:35.720 They adore her.
00:35:37.560 They worship at the altar of Planned Parenthood and abortion. 0.86
00:35:41.360 It's freakish.
00:35:42.460 And there's just simply no way to get around it for the left that you can call us racists
00:35:47.640 for a hundred different things.
00:35:48.920 And they do.
00:35:49.780 They'll call us racists for affirmation.
00:35:51.580 There's a big case that's going to be coming in the next session on affirmative action.
00:35:55.020 And I think there's a good chance that that gets limited in a major way by this court.
00:35:59.240 And it should, you should not be making decisions by skin color.
00:36:02.720 That's something that we used to all agree on and is now apparently wrong.
00:36:06.280 But you can call us racists for a hundred different things.
00:36:09.280 What we want the minimum wage level to be, what you think, you know, voter ID, all these
00:36:16.700 ridiculous things they call us racists for.
00:36:18.640 But the bottom line to all of this is, if you implemented every single one of our policies,
00:36:25.520 limiting welfare spending, voter ID, affirmative action, all these things, all to the conservative
00:36:32.480 utopia, what the end result of all those policies would be is tens of millions of minorities 1.00
00:36:38.880 alive today that are no longer alive.
00:36:42.180 And thriving.
00:36:42.520 Some of them might not be thriving.
00:36:44.480 Some of them.
00:36:45.460 But more than are thriving now would be thriving because of the policies.
00:36:48.720 And they'd all have a freaking chance, right?
00:36:51.200 You know, like some of them will be doctors.
00:36:54.260 Some of them will be astronauts.
00:36:55.960 Some of them will solve society's great problems.
00:37:01.120 Some of them will be crappy waiters at Chili's that screw up your order. 0.91
00:37:06.380 Some of them will be the guy that cut you off in traffic.
00:37:09.180 Some of them will be career criminals, but all of them deserve a chance to live their
00:37:14.740 lives.
00:37:15.300 You don't get to make this decision in advance for them.
00:37:17.920 They get to make those decisions.
00:37:19.520 They might wind up screwing their life up entirely.
00:37:22.080 A lot of us do.
00:37:23.740 But you still get that chance.
00:37:25.560 I'm fascinated at the idea that it's better for society that people should just be executed
00:37:31.560 before they've done anything, before they've taken their first breath outside the womb.
00:37:36.240 Let's kill them because they might be a drain on society. 1.00
00:37:39.680 What the hell kind of philosophy is that?
00:37:42.420 That is freaking psychotic.
00:37:44.180 It's a eugenics philosophy. 0.95
00:37:45.600 Yeah.
00:37:46.020 And that's what it was based on.
00:37:46.920 Fostered by Margaret Sanger.
00:37:48.160 That's what it was based on.
00:37:49.360 And you know what?
00:37:50.080 You look at white supremacy groups today and they are not pro-life.
00:37:56.120 White supremacy groups support the right to abortion.
00:38:00.880 And they will explicitly tell you the reason they do is because they like the fact that
00:38:08.220 black and Hispanic babies keep getting aborted.
00:38:12.020 Disproportionately.
00:38:13.000 Disproportionately.
00:38:13.780 Yeah.
00:38:14.260 They like it.
00:38:15.640 So if you want to be on the side of white supremacy and also not coincidentally the Democrats,
00:38:21.740 because they've been lined up for generations, hop on board to that pro-choice movement.
00:38:27.900 It's working out well.
00:38:29.080 It's working out well if that is your philosophy to life.
00:38:32.000 But in reality, I don't understand how anyone can support this craziness.
00:38:35.500 I don't either.
00:38:36.180 Especially see it as the empathetic view.
00:38:41.220 There's a column in the New York Times today by someone named Pamela Paul.
00:38:46.300 She's an opinion columnist there.
00:38:47.420 And let me just give you this, how it starts.
00:38:51.360 As the 4th of July looms with its flags and its barbecues and its full-throated patriotism,
00:38:55.860 I find myself mulling over the idea of American exceptionalism.
00:38:59.720 What, if anything, makes this country different from other countries or from the rest of the
00:39:04.700 developed world in terms of morals and our ideals?
00:39:07.760 In what ways do our distinct values inform how America treats its own citizens?
00:39:12.520 I land on a distinct absence of mercy.
00:39:18.500 Witness the ruthless evisceration of Roe versus Wade and expand.
00:39:22.240 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:39:23.160 So, how about the ruthless evisceration of the babies inside the womb? 0.98
00:39:28.260 Yeah.
00:39:28.720 Up to and including a full-grown infant coming out of the birth canal
00:39:32.620 and being torn apart and murdered right then and there.
00:39:37.260 I mean, it's incredible.
00:39:39.260 My gosh.
00:39:39.660 How, what lack of self-awareness could you have as a human being to literally define mercy
00:39:47.740 as the constitutional right for one person to kill another?
00:39:53.460 That's mercy to the left.
00:39:56.400 How on earth can you think that way?
00:39:58.620 I can understand you thinking the way of Joe Biden in 2006.
00:40:02.980 It's a terrible tragedy.
00:40:04.700 We don't want it to happen.
00:40:06.020 We want it safe and rare.
00:40:07.060 We want it safe, we want it rare, but we don't want it to occur.
00:40:09.680 Oh, that's gone completely.
00:40:10.040 That's gone.
00:40:10.660 This is a totally different worldview than that person in 2006.
00:40:15.460 Now, by the way, Joe Biden now holds the same worldview that I just discussed
00:40:18.860 from Pamela Paul of the New York Times.
00:40:20.740 But it's like this idea that murdering 65 million people is mercy is psychotic.
00:40:28.680 It is exactly the eugenic philosophy that led to what we saw in World War II.
00:40:35.260 It's exactly that.
00:40:37.000 It is what Margaret Sanger believed and has continued to try to carry out against this country through
00:40:45.580 Planned Parenthood and other organizations all of this time.
00:40:48.700 And it is fascinating that that has been presented and continues to be presented as this empathetic
00:40:54.820 thing.
00:40:55.180 We're supposed to listen to abortion clinic doctors who are unable to kill children for 1.00
00:41:00.360 a day and hear them sob and feel, oh my gosh, these poor people now have to drive an extra
00:41:06.160 hour.
00:41:07.240 That's what we're supposed.
00:41:08.080 That's supposed to be the empathetic side of the argument.
00:41:12.180 Yeah.
00:41:12.540 Incredible.
00:41:12.920 Na, na, na, na, na.
