EXPOSED: George Soros is trying to SUPPRESS radio freedom

Glenn has warned about the heavily funded, far-left efforts of George Soros for years. Now, Soros’ latest move is an attempt to suppress free speech on radio. Mike Gonzalez, Senior Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, tells Glenn that Soros is trying to help purchase 18 Spanish-language radio stations throughout the country because the ‘humongous inroads’ conservatives are making with Spanish speaking voters is causing the far-left to 'panic.' He details the two women leading this charge, the stations at risk, and why this is a ‘play for the ideological suppression of free speech.’

GLENN: So we have Mike Gonzalez on. He is the author of BLM. The making of a new Marxist revolution. He is also a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation. Mike, welcome to the program. Glad you're here.

MIKE: Thanks a lot, Glenn. It's great to be on with you.
GLENN: Thank you. So we've been -- we've been talking internally with you, over the last couple of weeks. On what Soros is doing on Hispanic radio stations. And I think this is really, really important. And I'll explain why in a second. But I would like to hear your telling of what's happening. And what the influence is.
MIKE: Well, it's really very subversive. He's buying -- he's financing a purchase of 18 Spanish language radio stations across the country. That is a third of -- of the -- of the -- the audience, that we call Hispanic, is very varied. But it's even greater. It's an even greater percentage of those who listen to Spanish. Many Mexican Americans. Cuban Americans, just in English.
So it's probably like 50 percent of Spanish speakers who turn to Spanish radio. Spanish radio is very important. And they're panicking. They're panicking because of the humongous inroads that conservatives are making with, for example, Mexican Americans and the Rio Grande Valley. You know that story very well. Texas 34 is the prime example of that with -- with Cuban-Americans in Miami. But not just Cuban-Americans. Columbian Americans and Venezuelan Americans. So this is really purely in play for the ideological suppression of free speech. The two women at the head of this media group, have zero experience in broadcasting, or any type of journalism, Glenn. They would take to own the venture, just because they're heartless. Heartless activists, in sources involved in this. They said, it's crystal clear. Soros has, as you know, finances many hard left causes around the globe. Including the election of rogue prosecutors, who refuse to prosecute criminals. And one of the reasons our cities are so crime infested. Because we had all these prosecutors elected. Now he's financing the purchase of 18 Spanish language stations, to suppress the transmission of conservative views. It is that the...
GLENN: Okay. So are these music stations? Are these talk stations? Are they all?
MIKE: They vary. They vary. Some of them are sports. Some of them are music. They will change, obviously, to left talk radio. By the way, it always fails, as you know, for some reason. Leftist talk radio is never a success.
Two stations in Miami. (inaudible) are -- are talk stations. They -- it's a -- a conservative radio station, that cater to the Cuban American community. This adds a double insult. Because one of the women, who owned this new media group. The media group, by the way, is called the Human Media Network. HMN. Owned now by two women. One is Stephanie Velencia. The other is Jess Morales Rocketto. Rocketto is a long-time associate of Black Lives Matter. You mentioned my book, BLM. In the process of writing that book, I discovered, many people are using their platforms to get their followers. Their social media followers to do BLM's bidding -- in the 2014, Ferguson riots, in the 2020 riots, she urged her followers on social media to take the orders from BLM. She said long-term associate of Alicia Garza, who was one of the cofounders of BLM, who is a fanatical Marxist. And this is what I'm coming to. It is really insulting that these two Miami radio stations. That are now transmitting conservative views, are going to be owned by Rocketto, who is an associate of BLM. Because BLM is a hard -- a strong supporter of the Cuban communist government, under which Cuban Americans have suffered. So this is one of the many ironies involved here.
GLENN: So the new influx of the Hispanics all over. This is the kind of stuff that they're probably used to hearing in their own country. Because I would imagine that in many places in South America, you're not getting a conservative viewpoint. Because the governments are -- many of them failed or near failed, or narco states. I mean, I think Mexico is damn near a failed state. So they won't recognize. They may tune into this. And they will think, our politics are just the same, as to where they came from?
MIKE: Well, you're 100 percent right with regards to the Cuban Americans and the Venezuelans and Columbian Americans, in south Florida. They have fled, in the case of Venezuelans and the Cubans. They have fled communist regimes, that had completely ruined their economies and their countries. And ended up in gulags and all that. In the case of Rio Grande valley, and this is really important. You have some people there, that go back to the 1700s. Whose roots go back to the 1700s. They're now immigrants. They are founding families. And this is the culture. So you know the symbolism of this is. And this is what keeps George Soros awake at night and these women awake at night. Is the idea that the -- and it's really in the RGV, in the Rio Grande Valley, that -- that you see, the most -- the most rapid movement towards conservatives. Those votes -- the county shifted like 30, 40 points between 16 in 2020 in support for Trump.
Trump even won one of them. The district, the Texas 34th just won by Mira Florez, south of San Antonio. So in -- in the -- in the Rio Grande valley. And I think -- and it's no coincidence. That five of these stations are in Texas, and three of them are in the RGV.
GLENN: Boy. They are working overtime. Overtime in Texas. To destroy what Texas has always been.
When does this start? When do these networks go on?
MIKE: Well, the FCC has to approve -- a lot of talk of Marco Rubio, in many -- some representatives like Carlos Humanez have written to the FCC, saying, before you allow this. You should take a look at this. What is going to be done. I'll tell you, the origins of this, Glenn.
This radio was going to buy these stations, and then Soros found out about it. And the left found out about it and complained to the Hispanic caucus, in Congress, in Washington. And then they put a fine. Put together the money. Salem had done $42 million. And then Soros came in. Because this is not -- Soros is not in for the money. He's in for the ideology. And he bid 60 million. For these same stations that Salem was going to buy for 42 million. So they're going to be -- so this is -- this is really the origin of that.
GLENN: So I know a lot of people that are Hispanic talk broadcasters. They are eager to speak Spanish on-air. Some of them are doing English shows. Lots of podcasters. We just had a new Spanish-speaking network move into the mercury studio compound. But what do we do? I mean, the problem is that so many people, you know, like me, I -- I can't get into this Spanish-speaking networks. Because I can't speak the language. So I would not be good at running it. Because they could be saying, oh, yeah. Man, Soros is the best. And I would have no idea. But I would talk to people on the right. And they just -- they just will not part with their money. I'm talking about it is big moneybags. They will not part with their money. Unless you see instant results. And this is a long-term indoctrination from the left. So what do we do?
MIKE: Right. Well, essentially 42 million. You're completely right. What do we do? First, we have to expose this. We have to he cannot pose. You know, they're saying, no, no, no. This is about keeping these radio stations, in Latino hands. First of all, that's BS. That's not what that's really about. It's about indoctrination and suppressing conservative views. And number two, nobody -- nobody in Miami, would care about the last name of the people who own the stations. What they care about is (inaudible). This is just a facade. This is the realest information, by the way. So we exposed this. We exposed the ties to Alicia Garza by (inaudible), which is not getting out. We need to say, look, she's been an associate of Alicia Garza for over a decade. She leads several organizations with Alicia Garza. Alicia Garza is the supporter of the Communist government, which puts people in prison, which is the reason why Cubans have had to flee, is because of the government. Rocketto is an ally. A long-term ally, an associate of this movement. And I tell you, in doing my research from the book on BLM, as I've said, they rely on a vast network of supporters. The reason why they got out so quickly, was because in Rocketto, the woman who is now going to own these stations, is one of the people who support BLM. And yet, it tells her followers. Thrown out to the marches. So I think exposure is a big thing. Other than that, is -- yeah. I think convincing deep pocketed conservatives. That if you don't do this --
GLENN: Yeah.
MIKE: Your children and grandchildren are not going to live in the country you like.
GLENN: Mike Gonzalez, he's the author of BLM. The making of a new Marxist revolution.
The Hispanic audience, they -- we're always told that they would fall more directly in line with conservative thought. And I buy that, same with African-Americans.
When you talk to them, not about politics, but about their values. They're right in line. However, they've been convinced, that the Republicans are whatever. How -- how open do you think Hispanic audiences would be to the conservative talk?
MIKE: I tell you, my own take on this, is that the huge movement that we have seen, to which conservatism has nothing to do with conservatism. So I'm sorry to say that. It's the left. The left has gone so nuts, in calling the boy girl. In saying, that everything is about race. That these voters, are looking around and saying, no. We want any part of this. This is crazy talk.
And there are different reasons, right? The reason why people in RGB, who would be of Mexican background. As I said, many of them have a multi-generational roots in this country.
They -- they really feel the culture. Texas, as you well know, is a fusion of Mexican culture. German culture. People who, you know, fuse and made Texas into the wonderful state culture that it is.
They have a lot of stake if the culture is eroded. If the culture is taken away or altered or transformed. And I think also the border issues really affect the Tejanos, and the RGB. As you know, the vast majority of the border guards are of Mexican origin. Whether they've been here a generation or 17 generations. The issue for the Cubans and the Venezuelans -- yes.
GLENN: No. Go ahead. Finish your sentence, I'm sorry.
MIKE: The issue with the Venezuelans and the Cubans in Miami are different. They suffered trauma, from seeing what socialism did to their country.
Now, one of the -- if you read reporting on this. People say, well, they were spreading this information. These stations.
They were calling Biden a socialista. You know, first of all, Biden himself doesn't know what he is.
But he's implementing -- you know, the action plans. The action plans that the White House issued in April, that were very sweeping. BLM. The main BLM group said they voted with them. They -- these equity action plans.
So they're implementing policy. And these were really extensive. Twenty-five action plans. Cowritten by fanatical Marxists. So he's unable to say this in Spanish, and explain this in Spanish. That is suppressing actual facts.
GLENN: So, Mike, I thank you so much for all the work you've done on BLM, and also following this. Love to have you back. BLM, the making of the new Marxist revolution, talking about George Soros, funding -- buying up an entire -- a very influential radio network, aimed right directly at Hispanics.

BEHIND THE SCENES

'This is how I spend my vacation': Glenn gives behind-the-scenes look at new radio theme recording

If you have ever wondered where Glenn gets the music for his radio show or assumed he used pre-made stock music or cheap computer software, now you know, it’s the real deal. Glenn's vacation technically started this week, but that couldn't keep him away from his natural habitat—the recording studio—where he spent several hours working on an updated radio theme track with pro composer Sam Cardon and Millennial Choirs & Orchestras (MCO).

Glenn was looking for something that sounded more urgent, and from the preview Glenn shared, it sounds like the creative team nailed it. The epic score sounds like it would easily feel at home in a Lord of the Rings or Star Wars film.

The new theme will be on air at a future date, but if you can’t wait, make sure to watch the video for a sneak peak!

Glenn's message to his son's birth mom: THANK YOU

‘I truly thank God for living in these times,’ Glenn says. ‘Look at the miracles that are happening,’ he adds, just moments after the Supreme Court ruled to overturn Roe v. Wade. No matter how much America changes, it’s still the greatest place on earth…and the Supreme Court victories we’ve witnessed in the last week — by justices who truly value the Constitution — prove it, Glenn explains. But there’s still work to be done. Glenn shares a story about his son’s birth mom — a teenager who decided to give her baby a chance to live — and he gives a message for us all: Now is a time for compassion toward ALL pregnant women, no matter the decisions they make...

GLENN: You know, I -- I just walked outside. I have a barn here on the ranch. And it's where my broadcast studio is. And I just walked out to get some fresh air a few minutes ago. And it's -- this is a day that you will remember where you were. Whatever side you were on, you will remember this day. And I walk outside, and my son and another guy standing by this enormous tractor. And he is hitching it up to a trailer. Because they're moving a bunch of logs from one field to another, because they're building a corral. And I don't have my glasses on. And I'm looking. And I'm like, is that Raphe? And I can't -- I'm not sure. Because he's a man. This is the first summer, where he's up here. And he is a man. And it was an interesting thought to have about my son. Who now, in a couple months. Eighteen years ago. A very brave young teenager decided not to have an abortion. Decided that he had nothing to do with her mistake, or whatever happened.

And I remember we prayed so hard for a baby. And I felt almost from the beginning. That we were supposed to adopt.
And this is really hard for moms. Really hard. Baby not from her body. And I think as guys we don't understand that. Because I don't want anything coming out of my body. And if something comes out of my body, I'm not putting it in swaddling clothes, I'm telling you that. And we both wanted her -- how is this going to work? And there is something about God, that he is my son. And there is no difference between him and any of my other children. None. Zero. Not even a shadow.
Just by chance. If his birth mother happens to be listening or his birth grandparents happen to be listening, thank you. Thank you for giving this young man a chance to live. He is -- well, he's been a pain in the ass. But he's also my greatest joy.
We have to look at the things that we do now. Because there's a lot of -- she was 14, I think. Imagine being a 14-year-old. I remember she called her mom, because she -- she went to school. And she had to tell her mom. But she couldn't look her in the eye and tell her. So she called. Didn't know what her mom would say. And her mom was so great. She immediately said, come home, sweetheart. Come home. And they worked it out together what was going to happen.
People who fight for the right to abort children say, you know, who is going to take care of them? There's lots of us. Lots of us. Millions of us. Millions. Millions of us.
You know, today, Roe vs. Wade was -- it came to an end. Catholics would point out on the -- on the feast of the sacred heart of Jesus. And I doubt that they think that's just a coincidence. Because we know that the heart of Christ, I mean, the only thing he really got smoked at, was children. Being abused. It was clear, he liked children, much more, you know, than us adults. But then, again, I don't blame him. I do too. But we can't just think of the children today that are going to be saved, and then say, that's a good thing.
We have to think of the moms. And, you know, I'm like this with Christians who just really want to get people baptized. They don't really care. It's all about the number. You want to bring somebody closer to God, in baptism, that is a fantastic gift. Not from you. But from God. Fantastic. But no one is going to do that. If you don't actually love them. The people who -- the people who need salvation. They don't think anybody loves them. The women who are pregnant, most, not all. But most, who are pregnant. They feel trapped. They don't know what they're going to do. We have to be there for them. Not just during the time they're pregnant. But if they choose to keep the child. To help them. To support them.
You know, it's so funny. I guess we both give up on, you know, once the baby is aborted. Or the baby is saved. Then society auto both sides kind of just turns away. Planned Parenthood, are they concerned about the mental health? Because they deny it. No, no, no. People are celebrating their abortions. I don't think so. I don't think you can do that. And you may have felt like there was absolutely no way out. But at some point, that's going to -- it will haunt you. What could have been. Think about just the mistakes you will make in your life. And how they bother you. I shouldn't have said that. I mean, there were times in my life, where I said things to my mom, or whatever. I carried those things around for 25 years.
We have to have compassion for -- for all of these women. Now, if you're going to use this for contraception. I don't really -- I don't know how to talk to you. I'll try. But I don't know how I can relate. Because -- but I'm hoping most people aren't like that. I'm hoping that's the anomaly in our society. That just thinks, this is the way to have birth control. And one more thing on birth control.
Why is that still a prescription? I would like to say I'm not a doctor. But technically I am. But I'm not sure why that's still a prescription. Don't we know what that does? I mean, are we pretty sure? Yeah. That's what -- that's what happens. This is all it does. It's a pretty safe drug. Do we not just trust people to use only as directed?
I mean, we -- we trust people. I mean, I see stuff all the time. That says, do not drink. Okay. Well, it's turpentine, so I'm not going to drink it. But thank you for trusting me to know I'm smart enough not to do that. Don't put in eyes. Okay. I'm going to make sure that I don't put that -- you know, that cream in my eyes. Thank you. Good safety tip.
I mean, just making contraception over-the-counter. The pill over-the-counter. Would be helpful. Wouldn't it?
It's a lot better to have them get a pill over-the-counter, like that, than have our daughters or anybody else think about the abortion drug, that the FDA now will make sure that everybody can get. That thing is brutal. That is -- that's brutal.
Anyway, I truly -- as I go on vacation in a minute, I truly thank God for living in these times. It's -- would you live at any other time? I mean, I'm a little selfish. Because I'm a whiner. Absolutely, positively nothing before air-conditioning. Nothing before air-conditioning. I even would say, I want to still live in a time where all my meat comes from a counter on a little plastic, Styrofoam tray. Really, that's about as roughing it, as I want to go. I don't want to go past those two things. Indoor toilets. Yeah. But look at the times we live it in now. The miracles that are happening. The miracles of science. The freedoms that we do have.
I have a guy who is on my staff. He's from Scotland. And once in a while, he gets tired of me hearing, this country is just -- and he's like, come to Scotland. Come to England. He's like, I know it's not what it was. But it's still the greatest place on earth. And it is.
And just the victories, just this week. There's going to be more I think next week. Just the victories in the Supreme Court. And it's not -- it's not because of ideology. It's because the people who are put on the court now, actually respect the Constitution of the United States.
You know, Clarence Thomas and Kagan ruled together, on -- I don't know. Something with Medicare today.
What! I don't think they could agree on a dinner menu. But that's not because Thomas sold out. Or Kagan sold out. I know with Thomas, at least, that's because he believes that's what the Constitution says. And that's what is so great about it.
It doesn't cut your way every time.
You don't always win. You don't always get your way. Today is a great day. Praise God. Praise good we have taken this huge step today.
Lord, see your people. And keep them safe. And keep the people who are actually working in these pro-life clinics. Our judges. Our police. Our cities.
Please, keep them safe.

Riots & White House defiance: What may come AFTER Roe ruling

Many members of the far-left already are calling for a ‘Night of Rage’ after the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, and the White House has been discussing plans to defy the ruling too. In fact, one idea floated by Biden Administration officials, according to the New York Times, includes providing abortions on military bases. So, will America experience another summer of riots? Are YOUR taxpayer dollars at risk? And what does this mean for deep-blue states? Josh Hammer, legal expert and opinion editor for Newsweek, joins Glenn to discuss what may come next...

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Josh Hammer, he's the opinion editor of Newsweek. He's the host of the Josh Hammer show. He is really quite brilliant. One of the leading minds in the conservative movement, I think. Josh Hammer joins us now.

To tell us, what did you find in this decision?

JOSH: Glenn, great to be back with you, on such a momentous, and really such an emotional day, honestly. So, you know, look, as you said, this dropped recently. Funny enough, I was in the middle of getting a guest lecture from an organization on the advisory board as to when it drops. So I barely had any time to kind of skim through, let alone guess the concerning dissenting opinions. But it looks like this looks very similar, to the draft opinion that was leaked, by the Politico story, a month and a half ago, in early May. And I think those of us who were praying that the five justices from this leaked draft opinion, would have the fortitude to stiffen their spines against this unprecedented assault. Now knows that our prayers were answered, Glenn. That's really my takeaway right now.

This looks a lot like the leaked opinion. Justice Thomas and Justice Kavanaugh have some reconcurring opinions.

But unbelievable. And really just holding aside the constitutional law stuff for a second hear. Just speaking as pro-lifers, on a day like today, I think we really just need to pause. And I tweeted this out earlier. We need to just be grateful for our half century of pro-life activist forbearers. You know, this -- Glenn, this issue could have gone away after 1973. That was a long time ago. 1973. I mean, this issue could have just gone away. We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the pro-life moral activist. Political activist. And, of course, yes. Legal activist. Who fought day in and day out, that makes sure this great injustice stayed front and center of our national, political conscience. And in many days, the culmination of a half century of fighting for truth and justice. But in many ways, it's also a new beginning for the pro-life fight as well, interestingly.

STU: How do you mean a new beginning for the fight? I just it's going to turn, I think we're going to see abortion turn even darker in those states that allow it. Is that -- is that what you're meaning by this?

JOSH: Well, look, for a half century now, Roe vs. Wade, and its project any, specifically, the Planned Parenthood versus Casey case of 1992.

They took away from the states obviously. They arrogated authority away from the states, the ability to attempt to nationally codify one view of the morality of abortion.

It happened to be a profoundly immoral view. So these -- the fight now shifts to the states. And the pro-life activists. And all the 50 states. Especially, obviously in red states. Purple states. I mean, admittedly some blue states like New York and California, probably won't be able to touch them there.

But we have to make sure that our side is well positioned in the state Capitols for every red, purplish, probably even light blue state, to make sure we fight for successful, cogent, and morally consistent pro-life legislation. The state of Oklahoma, actually, just north of Texas. Right where you are now, Glenn. They have been leading on this actually. Governor Kevin Stitt signed into law, a fantastic pro-life bill there in Oklahoma. A few weeks ago. Maybe a month ago or so at this point, that basically just bans abortion straightforward from conception. And there are some -- you know, obviously, likable the mother. So forth. But we really need to start thinking about trying to craft legislation now, at the state level. But to your point, I do fear that the blue states will only double down in their radicalism. Unfortunately within that will only lead to an ever greater divide, in our country, that we have today. But obviously, at the end of the day. We're going to save at the end of the day, millions and millions of unborn children. We are going to save human beings who can grow up to cure cancer, who can win Nobel prices.

I mean, this is just a tremendous win for the human species. I don't know how to say it other than that.

GLENN: I will tell you, I saw the stat, that I think it was last year or the year before. 20 percent of all pregnancies ended in abortion. 20 percent.

JOSH: Wow.

GLENN: That is -- that is a shocking number. And we do have our -- our work cut out for us. Because I -- I think that these states are going to double down. But I think, you know -- God doesn't waste anything. You know, there is no waste with God. Even the -- even the worst things that could possibly happen, turn out to be something good. You know what I mean? You're like, holy cow, how did that just happen.

And I think that evil is going to fully come unmasked. I'm telling you, Josh. I don't know how you feel about this. I think this could be the day of America's Kristallnacht. I can see these pro-life centers being burned to the ground today. They're calling for a night of rage around the country. I think evil is going to show itself. And that will scare the American people, hopefully.

JOSH: You know, I've been thinking about this a lot this week, actually. Because I've been bracing for a new kind of George Floyd summer of love, happening this summer. Coming to a city or suburb near you. Unfortunately, myself. Look, I live in Florida. I know, Glenn, you live in Texas. It is in moments like this, where I do think that where you live matters. And who your mayor is. Who your governor is, matters.

Because law and order and rioting and anarchy is not really a federal issue. It is to a limited extent. June 2020, Tom Cotton wrote this op-ed that was pretty controversial at the time.

I happen to agree with it. Where he said, quote, unquote, send in the troops. And there is some federal legislation from the reconstruction era that would justify that.

But most kind of quelling and quashing of anarchy does happen. Constitutionally speaking, at the state and local level. So at a moment like this, where I fear that you're probably not wrong. I take some solace. That Governor DeSantis is my governor. I think Texans should take some solace, that they are represented by -- by a Republican governor. The legislature there as well. So I -- I fear that you are right. I pray obviously, that no one -- it's hard.

I fear that it's something -- that something bad is happening. At the end of the day, of course. It does not mean that justices cannot do what they are supposed to do. So thank God they did that.

GLENN: So, Josh, have you looked into what the White House has been saying? The White House yesterday. In fact, do we have a clip of -- of this?

What the White House said yesterday, about the guns. And then they were turned to the -- the Scott us ruling, for Roe vs. Wade. Do we have that, please?

JOSH: Will the president accept this decision, even if he disagrees with it?

VOICE: I think it's going to come from the Supreme Court. So it's a decision we certainly are going to respond to. I'll leave it at that. Just like any other Supreme Court decision. Just like the one they did today on guns.

GLENN: So the White House won't say that they're going to accept it.

Which I don't think they will. They're talking now about taking doctors and moving them into places like Oklahoma or Texas, where abortions will be outlawed. And putting doctors on our military bases to perform abortions.

I mean, where does this go, when you have a government, that is in defiance of -- of one branch of the government?

JOSH: So there's a lot to unpack here. So we should start from first principles. The idea of judicial supremacy, and this is a peculiar thing, to say on a day like today, where such a pro-life victory has happened in Italy. But if we're going to be consistent here, the idea of judicial supremacy. The idea that the justices, have the sole and exclusive ability to interpret the Constitution for themselves. And no other Constitutional actor, in article one or article two, let alone the state. Has the ability to tentatively interpret it. That is erroneous. In fact, actually it was really Abraham Lincoln actually, who in the Dred Scott case, famously opposed judicial supremacy and flouted the Dred Scott ruling, at least as it pertains to everybody other than Dred Scott himself. I have actually argued, a former legal scholarship, in a law review article actually, that the Laconian view of how each branch of government should interpret the Constitution for itself, is correct.

Having said that. Having said that, there is a thing called prudence. And there is a thing called comedy. And in a moment like today, when it really does look like -- and I agree with you, that we are now bracing for riots through the streets. When the political rhetoric is at DEFCON one. When people are trying to assassinate Supreme Court justices. I think it would be -- at its bare minimum, a profoundly imprudent act. For the Biden administration, to try to undermine this ruling.

Now, what they might do, is they might try to kind of issue some kind of executive orders, or issue some regulations, that might try to kind of undermine it, at the edges here. But at the end of the day, the idea that this returns to the state. There's not really a whole lot they can do about that. Basically, at this point, throughout the country. Kentucky within West Virginia. Kansas. Whatever. If they want to go ahead and ban abortion, what can the Biden administration literally do about that? I mean, short of sending in the National Guard, to protect Planned Parenthood, if the state legislature of Kentucky goes ahead and bans it. There's not a whole lot they can do. And it's very difficult to envision a world, in which the Biden administration literally sends in troops to red states, to protect Planned Parenthood, if that state legislature goes ahead and bans it. So for practically speaking. This is a lot of tough talk and rhetoric. Obviously the campaign here in 2022. There's not really a whole lot that practically speaking, they can do to actually prevent red and purple states from enacting pro-life legislation.

GLENN: I'm glad to -- I'm glad to hear that. I know that they have been working on things. I mean, he has said, you know, there's executive orders, that I can employ. There are things that I can do. He's talked about a national public health emergency. Which I think is just -- is crazy. But I would hope, that the president would come out and say, we strongly disagree with this. And you're right. The court is not the end all. But the court did not end abortion. It just said, the people should decide. I think that's the best kind of court ruling, on any of it. The people should decide what this is. And send it back to the states. Josh, I thank you very much. Appreciate your time. Was there -- there was another ruling, that came out today. Was it important?

JOSH: Oh, no. In comparison to this. A total nothing burger. A 5-4 decision on Medicare reimbursement related. So nothing, honestly.

GLENN: Great. Thank you very much. Appreciate it, Josh. Josh Hammer, opinion editor for Newsweek. And the host of the Josh Hammer show.
