A holy war breaks out after Texas bans abortion after the detection of fetal heartbeat.

The Biden administration continues to declare its own heroism while telling Americans that the Taliban might be our friends now.

And Don Lemon says if you're unvaccinated, don't go to the hospital if you're sick.

We'll get to all the news in just one moment. First here is a reminder. You're spending way

too much on your cell phone bill. So you think you have to pay one of these giant cell phone

providers, enormous sums of money for decent coverage.

And you think that because, you know, you look at their advertising, and they seem really, really big, right? I mean, you're driving around town and you see, there's the AT&T store, there's a Verizon store. Like, here's the thing. All of that advertising, all those brick and mortar stores, they cost a lot of money, which means that you're paying for all of that overhead. Or you could just get the same exact coverage because you could be using the exact same cell towers as one of the big networks via Pure Talk USA. With Pure Talk, because they're not spending all that money, you are being saved $800 a year if you're the average family without having to sacrifice the coverage. You can keep your phone, you can keep your number, or you can get huge discounts on the latest iPhones and Android's. I got the iPhone 12. And let me just make this clear. You are getting the exact same coverage as one of the big cell phone networks. These guys invest a fortune into making sure you have the latest technology. They pass that entire savings onto you. Get unlimited talk, text, and six gigs of data for just 30 bucks a month. Or if you still want unlimited data, they have that plan as well. And it's still way cheaper than whatever you would get with one of the big cell phone providers. Just dial pound 250, say Ben Shapiro. You will save 50% off your very first month. That's pound 250. Say Ben Shapiro. Pure Talk is simply smarter wireless. Already. So the big news of the day is, of course,

that the Supreme Court has not immediately enjoined a Texas state law that effectively prevents

abortion after six weeks of pregnancy. And the reason that the Supreme Court did this is because

of procedural mechanics here. So basically, the Supreme Court ruled, and the ruling was,

it was a five to four ruling with, of course, Chief Justice Roberts joining the dissenters.

It was the Republican appointees on one side, and then Roberts with the liberals on the other.

And the basic scheme of the Texas law is why the law was not immediately taken up by the Supreme Court.

So normally, in order for you to have a lawsuit that is taken up by an appeals court or taken

up by the Supreme Court, you have to have somebody to sue. Just because you see something wrong

in life does not mean that you get to sue. And the person that you sue has to be the right person.

And if you're suing over a law, presumably, if you sue, for example, the person who is enforcing the law, that person has to have the power to enforce the law. So, for example, in Roe v. Wade, it was an official of government who was being sued in Roe versus Wade because it was that person's responsibility to enforce the law, so that person ends up as the defendant. This is usually the case when you have a case that's appealed to the Supreme Court, and it has to do with the law that is being enforced by the state. Usually, there's some official whose name you don't know, who ends up as the defendant in that particular lawsuit. Well, Texas found a way around this, at least for the moment, and sort of a creative way around this. The way that they wrote the law, it is not that the Texas state government is going to be enforcing the law.

It's not like somebody comes to your door and takes you off to jail if you participate in the

abortion process at 12 weeks of pregnancy. Instead, what the Texas state law basically did is it created

a private right of action.
