How a PROXY WAR against oil & gas is ruining our nation

The Biden administration is GASLIGHTING every American citizen about oil and gas, and in this clip, Glenn shows a clip from Joe’s 2020 presidential campaign that proves it. So, we know the president is LYING to us all about gas. But, meanwhile, there's a proxy war happening in oil industries throughout the nation. Glenn reads an op-ed from Vivek Ramaswamy that explains how BlackRock is manipulating corporations like Exxon to DECLINE oil production…all while Americans continue to suffer majorly at the pump.

GLENN: All right. So the oil companies. Why aren't the oil companies putting more oil out? Well, it's a couple of reasons. And none of those to do with Joe Biden. None of them. Even though, it was Joe Biden that said, when he was running, that he was going to put oil out of business. Here's the flashback. Cut three, please.

BIDEN: No more drilling on federal lands. No more drilling including offshore. No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill, period.

VOICE: Since Russia has amassed -- started amassing troops on the border, we saw -- we've seen a 2-dollar increase of gas prices. So we know where to put the blame on the war. But oil companies, they have oil refineries, they have responsibility too. So this is basically a bit of a, hey, we want you to act. It's time to act. We have done our part. With the strategic oil reserve. We are calling on them to do the right thing, to be patriots here. And to not use the war as an excuse. Or as a reason to not put -- to not put out a production. To not do the capacity that is needed there.

STU: Oh, my gosh. This is unbelievable. First of all, you notice the sleight of hand there. Which is, now, it's no longer the war that is doing it. It was the beginning of amassing of the troops on the border. Which is changing the time line by months and months and months. When they themselves were saying, at the beginning at least, that they did not expect a full invasion. Ukraine was saying, they did not expect a full invasion. But we're to believe that all of the oil price gains from that moment forward, are going to be applied to the Putin price hike, despite the fact, that in the chart, which we've released here from this program. You can see very clearly what the price hike was. Which was a slight deviation for a very short period of time, off of the already increasing line that had been going on for quite a long time. In addition to the fact, that as you hear there, they ran their entire campaign, on punishing oil companies. And saying how we were going to transform the economy away from fossil fuels. They bragged about it from the supporters from the Democratic primaries. From the debates. To fundraise. To environmentalists. Over and over and over again. They said, of you the most prominent things they did, on the very first day in office. Were multiple environmental executive orders, to restrict drilling. They did all of that. And then now, they're claiming the exact opposite. It's incredible.

GLENN: All right. So it's not just that. I mean, first of all, you're exactly right, on all of those things. And, in fact, if you listen to John Kerry, who is our climate czar. He talks about oil, in a completely different way. He says, we don't need to go back to oil. As if, we've all agreed, that oil is a bad thing. Here's John Kerry. Listen to this.

VOICE: And energy security worry, is driving a lot of the thoughts now, about, oh, we need more drilling on this. We need more drilling on that. We need to go back to coal. No, we don't. We absolutely don't. And we have to prevent a false narrative from entering into this. Or, again, pun intended we are cooked.

GLENN: Hmm. So we don't -- we definitely don't have to do that. And, you know what, it's not as bad as everybody thinks. Here's our energy secretary. Cut five.

VOICE: But if you were in -- if you were in Brazil, you would be paying the same amount for gas at the pump, $5. If you were in Canada, you would be paying over $6.

VOICE: Understood. Understood, Secretary. We're talking about the United States though. We're talking about the United States right now.

GLENN: Yeah. Well, I mean, if we were living in Brazil. You know what gas would cost if we were all living on the moon? Now, I live in America right now, and I'm used to having energy, plentiful, because that's what made us successful. That's what made us the leader in the world. Cheap energy. But, you know -- but if we were living in Brazil, which none of us are! If we were living in Brazil, we would be paying the same prices we're paying right now. So -- and they've got beaches, you know. And bikinis. And everything else. So how could it possibly be bad? Now, here's what's really going on. The one thing that they are doing their best to hide from you. Joe Biden made it very, very clear, no secret at all. That when he's president, he would stop all oil and gas. Period. That's his words. Play the beginning of that flashback again for me. Listen.

BIDEN: No more drilling on federal lands. No more drilling, including offshore. No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill, period.

VOICE: Since -- since --

GLENN: Okay. Got it?

No ability for the oil companies to drill, period. By the way, if he's doing everything he can, he just, yesterday, passed on another chance. Another auction was canceled for drilling sites. Here's what the truth is. It's not just Joe Biden doing this. This is -- this is the stakeholder ESG war. Listen to this. Vivek Ramaswamy. He came out with an op-ed, about a month or two ago. And bears returning to. The world's most influential impact investor, had its desired impact. Before the proxy battle, Exxon had planned to increase oil and gas production, by 25 percent over the next five years. Okay? Got it? They're going to expand oil, and their output by 25 percent. However, BlackRock controls so many votes and so many shares of Exxon, that they waged a war against the -- against the -- the board of directors. And they put two environmentalists on the board of directors. As soon as that proxy battle was over, what did Exxon do? They planned to keep oil output at the lowest level in two decades. A 20 percent decline, from former forecasts. So they were going up by 25 percent, and after BlackRock got involved. They went down by 20 percent.

ExxonMobil used to be an oil and gas company. But now, BlackRock is guiding the company. And it's over. Royal Dutch Shell is now facing the same problem. BlackRock is the company's largest shareholder. So, what are they going to do? Well, they have -- they have come out and said, Shell has too many competing stakeholders. Not shareholders. Stakeholders. If you've read my book on ESG and the great reset. You know what that means. A stakeholder means the government. Means the towns. Means the country. Means the world.

Everybody, but you. And people who are actually shareholders. So Shell has too many competing stakeholders, pushing for too many different directions, resulting in an incoherent, conflicting set of strategies, attempting to appease multiple interests, but satisfying none.

You know who they should appease? They should appease their shareholders. The people who actually own the shares. Not the proxy shareholders. Like BlackRock. They should also do what's best for their company. Some shareholders, they say, want Shell to invest as aggressively as possible in renewable energy, while others want Shell to give priority to returns on capital, from its legacy oil and gas business. So what are they doing? They're talking about breaking Shell up into two companies. One, the green dream company for the future for BlackRock, and the other, you know, the old legacy oil and gas. Where is the oil and gas company, going to get any money from investors if BlackRock has already destroyed Exxon for that? Hello! This is what is truly happening. This is why I wrote the book The Great Reset. If you haven't gotten it yet, will you please pick it up. Share it with your friends. Because everything is changing because of this. And your state treasurer -- the State Treasurer of West Virginia, the State Treasurer of Utah are probably the two best right now that are working -- and there are other treasurers that are working on it. These two come to mind, that are some of the best ones that are working on ESG. They are taking the money out of BlackRock and any other investment firm, that is basing their investment on ESG. It's got to stop. They're using your money to kill our country. If it wasn't for your money, this is blackmail. If it wasn't for your money, literally, your money, they couldn't pull this off. But we're invested in the three biggest investment firms. So all of our money, from our 401(k)s, they're all in these three big firms. So what do you do? Well, the first thing your state should do, is pull back their proxy votes. Do not allow these ESG companies, to have the votes behind your shares. The second thing that has to happen, is you have got to get your money out of these firms. You need to vote for state treasurers that understand this and are working hard to kill it. If you are a State Treasurer, and you don't yet know what to do, call the state treasurers, that are doing something about it. Call the guy in -- in West Virginia. Call the guy in Utah. Call anybody that is doing something, that really, truly understands, what you're facing. Because no matter what, Joe Biden is directly responsible.

You know, last night. Last night, I showed you some of the things that they're planning to do. And how the SEC is planning on getting involved in this. And how our government is not writing the ESG scores. And writing the -- the laws on how to regulate these companies for climate control. That's all being done by an offshore group. An international offshore group. We looked into who is funding it. It is terrifying. These people know exactly what they're doing. They know who they serve. And what a surprise. It's not the -- just the usual suspects. It's also, a group of dark money funders, run by the former head of the Clinton initiative.

Wow! So as we're punished. As we're dying, the Clintons and others are getting rich. You've got to get up on speed on this, because your country is slipping away, quickly. Back in just a minute. Let me tell you about our sponsor this half-hour. It's preborn. Look, I'm going to tell you here, when we come back from this one-minute break. I'm going to tell you about Jane's revenge. What is happening right now. They have issued a letter of threat. You know, they can't get the DOJ to even look into this stuff. It is shameful what is happening. Open letter to the pro-life centers across the country. Jane's revenge. They said, they are going to continue as operations normal. All of the violence, they said, your 30 days expired yesterday.

We offered you an honor way out. Basically, to close your doors. And stop trying to save babies. You could have walked away. But now the leash is off. And we will make it as hard as possible for your campaign, of oppression to continue. We have demonstrated in the past month, how easy and fun it is, to attack. We are versatile, we are mercurial, and we answer to no one, but ourselves.

They are going to take increasingly drastic measures, using their words. They said they will attack pro-life centers, both overtly and covertly. Listen to this. Because this is ESG's same tactic. Until insurance companies and financial backers realize that you are a bad investment, we are at war with absolute evil. Evil.

Good is bad. And bad is good. We are living in those days. I firmly believe we have to be more like George Washington. We have to be people of merit. We have to find favor in the eyes of God. God is not on our side. He's not on anybody's side. We must be on his side. And we are soldiers now, fighting in a spiritual war.

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.
