Folks, this is a tough show.

I'm recording this after we've recorded the show, and I'm a little shook.

I'm to be honest with you. I'm upset. I'm emotional. I'm angry.

The story you're about to hear is of Ryan Hamilton and his wife.

And the fact that the state of Texas caused her, even though her child had died,

to be tortured for 96 hours based on their abortion bans in the state. And the lavish, insane cruelty of those

bands, they're not pro-life. They're not small government. They're not in any way, anything you

could imagine. And they're backed up by an army of online hate that we will talk about towards the end of this

segment that has left me absolutely livid.

It's a tough show.

Don't listen to this with your kids.

It's hard.

It's very, very difficult to hear.

But I want you to hear it because Ryan Hamilton's story is important. It speaks to where

our country's headed and headed fast in a lot of states that have decided that women don't have

rights at all. And I say this as somebody who believes that abortion is a morally complicated and

terrible issue. I say this is someone who treasures life, but I say this also as

someone who, when you watch the hand of government with the corporate medical establishment

play out in this story, if you're not as disgusted and angry as I am, I will be shocked.

It's not easy to listen to.

But with that, let's go with our friend Ryan Hamilton.

Thanks.
