Sup you beautiful bastards.

Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show, you daily dive into the news and we have a lot to talk about today,

but first, gonna switch things up for a second and not immediately stress you out to ruin your day.

As many of you long-timers timers know I'm an avid book reader and

audiobook listener. And sporadically I recommend things but I figured why not actually

have our own little book club? So today I'm launching the DeFranco Book Club and it's simple. I recommend one book a month that I really enjoy and then you read it or you don't read it. That's it. But because this is the launch I'm going to announce two books for this month, one that you might have heard me gush over for the past two years and one that's new. The first you know it's coming. Project Hail Mary.

It's from Andy Weir, he made The Martian, also lesser known Artemis.

It's one of my favorite books from the last two years, unlikely hero world saving sort of thing,

don't want to ruin the story. I will never stop recommending this book, but then for something

newer and we're getting into spooky season. I'm recommending incidents around the house. It's by Josh Malarman. It is really good.

It is a horror story told from the viewpoint of an 8 year old girl.

It's paced well, it's interesting, it actually made me really nervous at times.

I feel like with horror there are a lot of misses or things that kind are okay and they don't stick the landing

a recent read that comes to mind a horror movie was one of those I like enjoyed the read didn't like the end yeah for

October these are my recommendations if you want to snack them I know a lot of people watch on TV, I got QR codes on screen. I also got links in the description so you can snag a physical version or the audiobook, which on the note of audiobook, if you were going to listen to an audiobook, this is fantastic, it has Ray Porter as the narrator. If you don't know, just a top-tier narrator. I think he's part of the reason why I love the Bobbiverse series so much.

But yeah, snag those, they are fantastic escapes from the world that we are now going to talk about. This is a news show.

So we've got to talk about abortion being in the news right now.

Starting with the fact that, you know, when you think about all the states in America where a woman would be denied an emergency abortion,

California is probably the last one you'd have in mind.

But that is exactly what happened to 36-year-old Anna Nuslot,

with her alleging that she was denied essential emergency care, even though her health was at risk and her pregnancy wasn't viable.

But the big difference between her story and all the horrific accounts that we've heard about women being denied care is that California is actually standing up for her and they're suing the hospital that refused
