Sean reminds the audience that the Supreme Court did NOT ban abortions in the United States... all they did was return the authority to the states where it belonged... Abortions will always be allowed in the United States.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

| Now, think about what the left would do if there was a conservative that did ads for Capital One. | |
| And by the way, I don't support boycotts. | |
| I want to be very clear. | |
| And Samuel L. Jackson is out there calling Clarence Thomas the names that he's calling Clarence Thomas. | |
| Let me ask you a question, Uncle Clarence. | |
| You think Capital One would keep the conservative running these ads? | |
| No. | |
| Do I think anything's going to happen to Samuel L. Jackson? | |
| No. | |
| You see the double standard? | |
| I think you probably do. | |
| I mentioned a lot of these places where a lot of violence has taken place. | |
| I mean, it's it's severe. | |
| Um of course the call for the sex strike. | |
| Uh but anyway, you have, you know, one pro-abortion protester charged with attempted murder after a an attack with a with against a cop with a flamethrower. | |
| Uh other protests turned violent in Oregon. | |
| Other protests turned violent in Arizona, a Christian pregnancy clinic in Colorado was torched and graffitied uh with these words if abortions aren't safe, neither are you, after pro-abortion extremists warning of their night of rage following the decision. | |
| Uh then you have the socialist Reddit group posts, they're putting up and continuing to docs, the names of Supreme Court justices, even the names of the schools of their children in the case of Amy Coney Barrett, uh, the churches that they go to, and when they go to church. | |
| Well, that you think that's a good idea to post online. | |
| You think that's a good idea? | |
| Those on the left, because Joe Biden put a seal of approval on it. | |
| Through Gen Sake. | |
| Oh, we're fine with that. | |
| Anyway, you can just see what you see what's building here. | |
| It is, and all of it's based on a lie. | |
| Now, there are there may be more inconvenience. | |
| You can say that. | |
| People want to get a last-minute abortion. | |
| There's going to be states where they can get that. | |
| Abortion is going to be legal in America. | |
| Probably in most states, some will have some restrictive restrictive laws, others will have less restrictive laws. | |
| Some will allow it up to the moment of birth. | |
| It's not illegal. | |
| They just decided who gets to decide. | |
| That's it. | |
| That's it. | |
| He gives you the latest breaking news when he hits the air. | |
| This is the Sean Hannity Show. | |
| All right, 25 now until the top of the hour. | |
| Toll-free our numbers 800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program. | |
| A lot of analysis about uh Joe Biden's comments in regards to the overturning of Roe. | |
| He says on Twitter, sad day for the country, and then he gave his remarks on Friday, claiming the health and life of women in this nation are now at risk. | |
| No, it's not, Joe. | |
| It's just an it's a flat-out lie on his part. | |
| They all know that they're lying. | |
| And Biden said the s three Supreme Court justices nominated by former President Trump were the core of the decision to upend the scales of justice and eliminate a fundamental right for women in this country. | |
| It's a realization of an extreme ideology and a tragic error by the Supreme Court and jeopardizing the health of millions of Americans, so extreme women can be punished for protecting their health. | |
| The one state of South Dakota that had a and we'll talk to Christy Noam later, but uh the governor there, the one state that had a trigger law that bans all abortions says no, they will not part of the law says they do will not go after women. | |
| They said doctors would that perform the procedures would be held accountable. | |
| Uh but if people in South Dakota, I mean, you now have states like New York, I think it was Governor Hochel inviting people, New York is going to be a safe haven for abortion. | |
| And I guess you can appeal to people to visit your state. | |
| Uh let's see, come see Mount Rushmore, come see Disney, come get an abortion. | |
| I guarantee you that there's going to be groups that emerge. | |
| We already have corporations that have said that they're going to be willing to fund the transportation costs for any woman that wants to go to another state to get an abortion if their state has more restrictions. | |
| Um by the way, it was interesting last week. | |
| Nobody picked up the fact that Gutmacher Institute pointing out that 50% of abortions today, or 55% was the exact number, up from 39% in 2017. | |
| And by the way, these were 2020 numbers, so it might be likely is higher today. | |
| And they said it's all done by a pill, which is on labeled use would be 10 weeks. | |
| Others say you can do it up to 12 weeks by a pill. | |
| The Mississippi law at issue in this that the Supreme Court was was dealing with was up to 15 weeks. | |
| So you're just going to have some restrictions in some states. | |
| There'll be a couple of states that allow no abortions, and then you'll have the very liberal states. | |
| Remember, the Democrats in the Senate and the House, they wanted no restrictions. | |
| They want abortion rights right up until the moment of birth. | |
| Whatever happened to follow the science, is that a child that can live independently outside the womb, the answer, according to the science, is yes. | |
| Then why would you allow for infanticide? | |
| Why why wouldn't we at that point? | |
| If you know, if Bill Clinton, if for those people that say they're pro-choice, I know people that say they're pro-choice. | |
| We've had discussions about it. | |
| And they say, okay, you're I'm pro I'm pro-life, and I make an inconsistent argument, and I'll say that up front, and I make exceptions for rape, incest, and the mother's life being in jeopardy. | |
| Like the South Dakota law has the mother's life in jeopardy provision. | |
| Um, the more consistent position intellectually would be that if you believe life begins at conception, that you would have that that at that point, regardless of any of those circumstances. | |
| I take into account circumstances. | |
| Is it the intellectually purest argument? | |
| It's not, but I but there are extenuating circumstances at times, you none of this is ever a good decision. | |
| Um anyway, so Biden just literally is undermining the court, and uh what's interesting, he said in 2006, really not that long ago, that he said abortion is always a tragedy and not a right. | |
| I don't view abortion as a choice or a right. | |
| I think it's always a tragedy. | |
| Joe Biden said that. | |
| Now he's talking about it. | |
| Tell me about abortion. | |
| Where do you where do you stand and how will you face that issue as a um uh it's gonna be very difficult? | |
| I I do not view abortion as a uh um as a choice and a right. | |
| I think it's always a tragedy. | |
| And I think that uh it should be uh rare and safe, and I think we should be focusing on how to limit the number of abortions, and they ought to be able to have a common ground and consensus as to do that. | |
| So again, um you see the change in the Democratic Party. | |
| What have I always said? | |
| Democratic Party of old used to hide their most radical positions, and they would always hope to get radicals on the Supreme Court so that they could accomplish through the courts that which they never win in terms of convincing enough Americans to elect them at the ballot box, or be that they could ever accomplish legislatively because the public wouldn't agree with them, and they would lose power. | |
| Uh all the all the court really decided here, and it's simple and it's consistent with their Thursday ruling on the second amendment, and that is a right that is enumerated in the Constitution. | |
| For example, the right of the people to keep and to bear arms shall not be infringed, an enumerated right, a specific right given, versus in this case, a right not enumerated in the Constitution, but our framers clearly understood there would be many of these instances, and it's a concept known as federalism, where you just allow the states to decide these things. | |
| Now, all in the majority opinion in this case, written by Justice Alito, uh, he goes out of his way, bending over backwards to say this is not affecting, do not interpret this to mean anything about any other precedent, period. | |
| Now, everyone made a big deal about precedence and precedence, and we've never had, you know, we we can't give up precedent. | |
| Well, what do you do with Plus C v. | |
| Ferguson or Dred Scott? | |
| There's been 230 plus instances where a Supreme Court precedent has been overturned. | |
| In the case of Plessy, I think it's like 58 years, and then they rightfully overturned it. | |
| Um, the one justice writing a concurring opinion in this particular case, Clarence Thomas, um, wrote that striking down Roe should open up the High Court to review other precedents that may be deemed demonstrably erroneous. | |
| Now he's talking about a constitutional principle here, and that is enumerated rights or the Ninth and Tenth Amendment. | |
| What are what is the role of the state? | |
| So he's trying to basically now, if it's the state that's going to decide, think about it, then it's the people that ultimately decide because it's the people that will elect their assemblymen, their state representatives, their state senators, and their governors, and that is what they're saying. | |
| That's where the decision ought to be made. | |
| And for example, some are saying, well, he wants to take away the right of people to use birth control or contraception. | |
| You know, and for example, the 1965 ruling in Griswold versus Connecticut. | |
| In future cases, we should consider all of the courts' substantive due process precedence, including Griswall, Lawrence, and some others. | |
| He wrote in this again in the concurring opinion in this particular case. | |
| Um, what he's saying is the principle of allowing states to decide those issues not enumerated specifically in the Constitution, is a principle that he abides by, and if you really think about it, that is the most democratic for this democratic republic that we live in. | |
| But you can't have that argument when people have lost their minds the way they have now. | |
| Hey there. | |
| I'm Mary Catherine Hamm. | |
| And I'm Carol Markowitz. | |
| We've been in political media for a long time. | |
| Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane. | |
| That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity. | |
| We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor. | |
| We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously. | |
| So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional SAS. | |
| You're our kind of people. | |
| Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen. | |
| I'm Ben Ferguson, and I'm Ted Cruz. | |
| Three times a week, we do our podcast, Verdic with Ted Cruz. | |
| Nationwide, we have millions of listeners. | |
| Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we break down the news and bring you behind the scenes inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court. | |
| And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else. | |
| We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family. | |
| So Delaware, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts. | |
| Biden is threatening, quote, several relevant agency announcements to get around the Supreme Court decision. | |
| Apparently, Vice President Kamala Harris will play a particularly prominent role. | |
| I don't know, what is she going to be? | |
| The abortion rights czar now. | |
| Uh because she got hammered this weekend when she made the comment. | |
| I think she made it on Twitter. | |
| I know there are women out there that are afraid. | |
| To those of you who feel alone and scared, I want you to know the president and I are fighting for you and your rights. | |
| We are in this fight together. | |
| And a lot of liberals got very angry. | |
| The New York Times laid out an op-ed planning to discipline the Supreme Court in response to the road decision. | |
| Imagine that. | |
| They want to discipline them. | |
| Anyway, New York Times columnists writing an outline how the Democrats could rein in the High Court and a piece entitled How to Dissolve a Rogue Supreme Court. | |
| The Supreme Court does not exist above the constitutional system, adding that a rogue court cannot shield itself from the power of other branches. | |
| Here we go. | |
| Then Elizabeth Warren on cue, packed the courts, Stacey Abrams on cues, packed the courts. | |
| We'll get to that a little bit later in the program. | |
| According to the White House, now I believe this is an election year conversion, because I think the Democrats are so scared to death about what would be a title wave election for Republicans. | |
| So now all of a sudden Biden said, no, no, no, I'm not going to support the court packing thing. | |
| Meanwhile, first thing he tried to do when he got into office was see if that was feasible and possible and set up a commission looking into it, which didn't come up with any definitive answer on all of this. | |
| You know, it's i i the people's reaction to this is just strange to me. | |
| I I um when he doesn't look at it on the surface, and you would think, oh, okay, most people will get it, most people will understand. | |
| Maybe it'll take between now and November, but I'm pretty confident the American people will cut through the clutter and the noise and the BS and understand that abortion is not illegal in America, and that the states will decide whether they are going to allow it. | |
| There won't be many that I think have full restrictions, and then what restrictions other states have. | |
| If I had to guess where this probably the average falls out into is probably around the Mississippi law that it that initiated all of this discussion. | |
| Reading in Bloomberg, their opinion piece saying that ending Roe v. | |
| Wade is institutional suicide for the Supreme Court, a columnist there, you know, issuing a scathing rebuke of the rule overturning Roe v. | |
| Wade. | |
| Well, they've overturned precedent over 230 some odd times. | |
| Greg Jarrett wrote a great column about it. | |
| Um so we'll see how this politically, though, what you know what's happening here. | |
| Politically, Democrats can't run on anything that they've done. | |
| Joe Biden has been an anchor, a weight, and he's dragging the whole Democratic radical socialist party, you know, down with him. | |
| And by, and he's not alone in this. | |
| It's it's the entire Democratic New Green Deal, Radical Socialist Party, the climate alarmist religious cult, and they're all kind of in unison with very rare exceptions. | |
| Now there are some Democrats in the House that have more moderate positions, and they're livid at the leadership because they think they're probably going to lose their elections because of how left wing the their party has become. | |
| The two most prominent in the Senate that have stood up to the radicals in their party are Joe Manchin and Kristen Cinema. | |
| How long they're going to be able to withstand those attacks, I don't know. | |
| So they can't run on the economy. | |
| They can't run on 41 year high of inflation. | |
| They can't run on five dollar a gallon gasoline all caused by Joe's economic and energy policies. | |
| They can't run on the disaster at the border. | |
| They can't run on law and order and safety and security because they're the party of defund dismantle and no bell laws. | |
| They can't run on great achievements they've made in education because we've had one setback after another, including seeing and learning that the NEA is even wrote COVID protocols for the Biden administration. | |
| So they can't run on that. | |
| They're not going to run on farm policy. | |
| What are they going to run on? | |
| Joe kissing the ass of OPEC and sucking up to the Venezuelan Venezuelan dictator murdering thug or Joe's, you know, grant of a waiver for Putin's pipeline, uh, or Joe being bullied by by China over the issue of Taiwan, or Joe making a deal with the Iranian mullahs and going to Saudi Arabia what he called the pariah nation to meet with the crown prince that he said was responsible for the murder Of Jamal Koshogi. | |
| What is he going to run on here? | |
| What success has he had? | |
| So they so now they're left with, okay, we'll run on abortion. | |
| We'll run on the second amendment. | |
| On abortion, I think the American people will figure out abortion's legal and all the all the scare tactics and I perbole are frankly just meaningless words. | |
| Uh he's gonna run on the second amendment. | |
| Most Americans support the right of people to keep and bear arms and to protect themselves. | |
| They're gonna run on the January 6th committee. | |
| Okay, well, why don't you run on the 574 riots that you ignored or lied to us about in the summer of 2020? | |
| Or in the case of Kamala Harris, outright supported. | |
| The defunding of police in LA in her case, the bail fund in Minneapolis in her case. | |
| You know, at some point here, you're gonna say, okay, well, what are they gonna run on? | |
| What the typical Democratic playbook? | |
| Every American, every day of the week is reminded every time they go to a gas station, every time they go to any store to buy anything, anytime they have something delivered, everything costs more because of their horrific policies. | |
| So all of that, I promise you, is going to be in the forefront of people's minds. | |
| You know, people vote peace prosperity when they vote in elections. | |
| And that's and you can't have greater incompetence than what we have now. | |
| You want smart political talk without the meltdowns? | |
