One of those principles is gratitude. We are the plea grateful to our employees, to our customers, to whomany many individuals support the word, action, and prayer. We thank god for his Many Blessings and ask for his continued grace to shine on our nation. Host the hobby lobby cofounders reacting to the decision ruling against the contraception mandate in the Affordable Care act. From usa today, here is the reaction from the White House Press secretary yesterday. [video clip]an. Or todays decision jeopardizes these for women by companies. As millions of women know, contraception is often vital to their health and wellbeing. That is why the Affordable Care act ensures that women have coverage for contraceptive care, along with other Preventive Care like vaccines and cancer screenings. He will work with congress to make sure any women affected by this decision will still have the same coverage of Vital Health Services as everyone else. Resident obama believes strongly in freedom of religion. It is why we have taken steps to ensure that no religious institution will have to pay or provide for contraceptive coverage. We have also made accommodations for nonprofit religious organizations that object to contraception on religious grounds. The boy believe but we beieve the owners should not allowed to assert their religious views to deny their employees federally mandated benefits. Court rulingreme against this mandate in the Affordable Care act for contraceptive coverage. Today this is what they report we want to get your thoughts on this this morning. The phone lines there has been lots of reaction on twitter about the courts decision. Let me begin with some potential 2016 candidates and what they had to say. Senator ted cruz from texas and then you have this tweet from zeke miller, which shows a ter that ted cruz sent out fund raising over the hobby lobby decision. Jindal or bobby and also senator rand paul from kentucky Hillary Clinton said this and Elizabeth Warren out of massachusetts, a democrat up there and then politico has this story the dnc put out this statement after the Supreme Court decided yesterday, saying, doris in chicago is a democratic caller, you are up first to get what do you make about the decision . Caller i dont like it at all. This is on par with what conservative republicans have done in the past. They are trying to redefine rape and shaming and punishing women. Conservativeber male Catholic Court made a ruling that punishes women. This ruling is for only one group of people. Women are over 50 of our population. They have ruled that these women who want or need Birth Control can be discriminated on by these socalled religious zealots. This is a private forprofit corporation. 80 of their merchandise comes from china. China has a Government Program for abortions. And on top of that they have slave labor. What kind of religion supports that . Host where did you read that . Of these things have their products based in china. That is why they can sell them so cheap. Costs nothing. You can look things up for yourself. Host thomas in las vegas, republican collar. Good morning, go ahead. [indiscernible] there are other forms of contraception. Host a little trouble hearing you there. Lets go to alex in Virginia Area in virginia. Go ahead. American in my early 20s i see a lot of people in my demographic who are all over social media and outraged that companies dont have to provide contraception. We need to recognize that as far what you are entitled to and if you are on actual Birth Control for hormone treatment or for a Health Reason outside of not getting pregnant, it really shouldnt be the obligation of the government to pay for your fun time. Is a democratic caller. What are your thoughts on the Supreme Courts decision on contraception coverage . Caller i agree with everything from the person from chicago. Turn thisay we can around is to join with the who are looking at coming up with a constitutional amendment to say that corporations are not people. Thisepublicans are using hurt a lot of issues like contraception. Host next up is an independent caller. Good morning, tom. Caller good morning. This issue kind of validates why under no circumstances will i vote for a democrat at the senator level. The people who called in example, oner person quoted the constitution, the First Amendment. It Congress Shall make no law in the establishment of a religion. Also when they lose an argument they start namecalling. Somebody yesterday started the well, it is the old light republicans that are stopping it. This law was written by catherine civilians. The by sibelius. Denied . It you are being i did not see any old white republicans on tv celebrating the victory of the lawsuit that was decided in the Supreme Court. I can go on and on about why this doesnt make any sense, your argument doesnt hold water. Thank you for having me on. Host we will go back to usa today, where they report one caller said what needs to happen next is the constitution reflects that corporations are not people. Reports let me go to brandy in millington, michigan. A republican caller good morning. Caller i am a democrat. The first thing i would like to do is thank you and all the folks behind the scenes that we dont see for putting on this great show. My second comment is when are the crusades coming . Is what we have started. This is what al qaeda did. You live my way, you believe my religion. Me what god we are supposed to represent or who are we supposed to be humble to create this is getting carried away. I am dealing with al qaeda people. We are not dealing with americans anymore. Nor an american Justice System anymore. Host emmy is calling in next. What are your thoughts . Caller i am really disappointed with this ruling and Companies Like hobby lobby, where most employees are probably getting paid minimum wage, the fact that they are now not going to be providing contraception for these women through their insurance, how are these women supposed to support their children . Im sure the company is going to for theng more money pregnancies than they would have saved. They are putting women at such a disadvantage. I will almost guarantee that a lot of these women probably are going to be single moms. Aside, all politics looking at it logically, it doesnt make any sense. Host usa today reports richie in mount vernon, new york, republican caller. Caller good morning. If the womanhat were to go to walgreens or rite drugstore,ng to the you get what is called a condom. That will prevent the situation from ever happening. Why should i have to pay to help you with a problem you caused yourself . Pregnant c is not like a disease. A disease attacks you and you have no pregnancy is not a disease. A disease attacks you and you have no control. They have to go into their pockets and pay for you, i think it is unfair. Host cynthia in georgia, go ahead. Caller i just want to say i am not want tond i do pay for other peoples contraception. I took the responsibility for it. For anyasked anyone help of any kind for it. It one thi i would like to sit one thing i would like to republicans need to get behind the employers. Democrats whohese choose this way a lot. Worry about this monthly charge with contraception for their partying. Host this is reaction from will begin with the House Speaker john boehner on twitter that you have nancy pelosi, the leader for democrats in the house also senator john mccain saying senator mitch mcconnell, the minority leader for republicans in the senate, said patricia in libertyville, illinois, what are your thoughts . Caller i am outraged by this opinion. I believe this is further evidence and rationale for changing the law as it regards the Supreme Court. I do not believe the supreme tort should have the option say in the court for life as a woman who has taken advantage of the morning after pill, i am grateful it is out there. I find it stunning that the thisme court has taken position, particularly at a time when this nation is fighting against al qaeda, who would repress womens rights. Towardsa move repressing womens rights as a whole. This couple sanctimoniously stayed that they are pleased that the Supreme Court has moved in their favor. The al no different than qaeda faction stating they will do what they can to repress womens rights. , theythis is from online tweeted this out 40 strongly disagree. 19 strongly agree. Theoyer should not have right to prevent certain forms of Preventative Health care, including contraceptives, from being provided in their health plans based on religious beliefs. Majority, strongly agreed. 32 somewhat disagreed and strongly disagreed. That is a poll by reuters. Onare getting your thoughts the Supreme Court ruling against the aca contraceptive mandate. Let me show you some other news in the papers this morning. We will begin with foreign affairs. Secretary of state john kerry rights in the Washington Post opinion pages that time is running out for iran to choose its future. The world is simply asking iran to demonstrate that its Nuclear Activities are what it claims to be. Tech the secretary of state sums up his arguments by saying this is in the Washington Post this morning in the Washington Post this morning. We will begin with the Financial Times below that, the headline tellingt Obama Congress yesterday he is sending more troops to iraq. Next to the hemline to that headline we will be joined in our last hour to talk about a yearlong investigation into drones. We will have that conversation later on in the washington journal. Back to our conversation with all of you this morning about the Supreme Courts decision on hobby lobby. Sharon is in texas, a republican. Youre up. Caller good morning. I think thiso say whole thing is absolutely ridiculous. , wish democrats would listen because hobby lobby is not denying anybody anything. They just dont want to pay for the morning after pill and iuds. Fullese women would take responsibility for these own sex life, 24 hours a day, three days seven days a week, 350 365 days per year, this whole Birth Control issue would be nonexistent. Argumentt about the democrats make that some women use Birth Control for Health Reasons . Not related to pregnancy. Themr nobody is. Denying nobody is denying them Birth Control. Nobody is denying them anything. Host you say this is narrowly limited to the certain types of Birth Control you have the iud and morning after pill, etc. Caller the company does not want to pay for that. They can get it themselves. They can pay for it themselves. They are not denying them anything, they just dont want to pay for it. Host we will have that conversation coming up this morning with two different voices on both sides of this issue. We can ask those questions later. Supreme courtshe decision is later. Susan is a democratic caller. Caller i am furious that my premiums go to pay partially for viagra and cialis and some of these other drugs for men to get it up. The Supreme Court, since 2000, has decided that they are a lawmaking body, which they are not. Granddaughter who had her first child three years ago. Came home, about three days later, she had a bad seizure. Weeks laterleft two to go to afghanistan. As it turns out she was pregnant again. That child was premature and they didnt think he was going to live. She must never have another child and needs anything that would help that. Unlike these contractors that serviceut in, these guys dont make that much money. Anytime people are paying in at their work on health care and cannot receive what they there are many reasons for these drugs other than Birth Control. Host on twitter president obama will move on immigration himself through executive action that is the front page of the houston chronicle. It is because House Republicans refused to act. Here is a little bit from his announcement yesterday at the white house. [video clip] situation, the failure of republicans to pass a bill is bad for our security, bad for our economy, bad for our future. While i will continue to push House Republicans to drop the excuses and act, and i hope their constituents will too, america cannot wait forever for them to act. I am beginningay a new effort to fix as much of our immigration system as i can on my own. Without congress. I am directing the secretary of Homeland Security and the attorney general to move available and appropriate resources from our interior. Protecting Public Safety and deporting dangerous criminals remains the top priority but we are going to refocus our efforts where we can to make sure we can do what it takes to keep our borders secure. I have also directed secretary johnson and attorney general to identify additional actions my administration can take on our own within my existing legal authorities to do what congress refuses to do and fix as much of our immigration system as we can. At theresident obama white house. The reaction from the speaker of the house to john diener john boehner speaker of the house john boehner was this the Washington Post reports and then roll call, which covers capitol hill, reports that is this week as congress is back in their districts for the fourth of july recess. Story from capitol hill, this from politico louisiana representative Vance Mcallister will run again. From illinois, republican caller , what do you make of the Supreme Courts decision yesterday . Caller it is almost comical. It doesnt say anything about the two actual ability of the society when we have to provide for the reproductive rights of our citizens. About the intellectual ability of our society when we have to provide for the reproductive rights of our citizens. No one seems to care we are heading down the socialist lane. We cant seem to take care of ourselves. Somebody owes us a living. Now we cant provide for our own sexual desires, and i think it a no it is a, call comical situation. Host next caller caller thanks for taking my call. And 88yearold woman. I have used contraception all my life and i want my fellow women to have that opportunity. They cannot afford it often. That is a crime. That is my comment. Host you may be interested in what the hhs said on contraceptive coverage. This is the rule they made in the Affordable Care act that is the part the Supreme Court struck down in a 54 saying companies with very few shareholders do not have to provide Health Insurance contraceptive coverage if it violates their religious leaf. Joseph in kentucky their religious belief. Ph in kentucky caller thank you for taking my call her. To the previous caller, the 88yearold woman and to the people using contraceptives and considering abortion, you may want to take a second to think about the special judgment that awaits you when you die whenever you choose these things. The commandment in the bible says thou shall not kill. It does not say for specific reasons. Whether you are on death row or an unborn baby, it says do not kill. Bishop in cleveland, ohio, a democratic caller my comment is the gop the Supreme Court is terrible. Everything wrong. They are going backwards since the 1960s. [indiscernible] women vote, 50 . Thank you. Your thoughtstake here on the Supreme Courts ruling yesterday against the Affordable Care act contraceptive mandate. We have a few minutes left. Let me show you the front page of the Detroit Free Press this morning heres a little bit of what he had to say [video clip] money is a poor substitute for loss. It is the limits of what we can do. Unfortunately we cant bring people back, we cannot restore limbs. It is the best we can do. Hopefully the program will work. How many people participated. This summary, the only thing that matters at the end of the day is how quickly did you get money out the door eligible claimants . Me, it soundsy to this way or that way, i have heard from some lawyers will see. Well we are ready to start the pr
