00:01:35.880Welcome to mom Donnie's New York City, where he promises free stuff, yet keeps things behind locked cages.
00:01:42.020And the second trip back to DC was for an amazing and totally sporadic opportunity where I got to sit in the new media press seat during Caroline's press briefing.
00:01:51.160But before I tell you about what the White House was like, let's go back to Monday, the Supreme Court.
00:01:56.440I hope you guys listen to Wednesday's episode.
00:01:59.240If you haven't, I encourage you to go back and listen to it.
00:02:01.760I provide a little bit of context and clarity about what the Supreme Court was ultimately going to be hearing and soon rolling on.
00:02:08.840I did that with a beautiful young girl by the name of Adalia Cross.
00:02:12.320When she was in middle school, she competed against one of the boys who was one of the plaintiffs in the West Virginia case.
00:02:20.320It was actually the state of West Virginia versus BPJ.
00:02:23.100Not only did Adalia lose out on opportunities, and does she speak to that on the episode of how defeating that feels, the feelings of betrayal that she had.
00:02:31.900But she also alleges that she was sexually harassed by this same boy in the locker room, an intimate area of undressing as a middle school age girl.
00:02:43.920The things that he allegedly said to her were so profane and heinous and vulgar.
00:02:47.800However, I'm not even going to repeat it on this because I don't want YouTube to take this episode down.
00:02:52.240So I encourage you to go back and listen to Wednesday's episode for a little bit of context on what the Supreme Court was ruling on, or I guess will soon rule on.
00:03:28.100That's what we were demanding on the Supreme Court steps.
00:03:31.180So, absolutely wild we have to be there, but I explained this on Wednesday's episode as well.
00:03:36.400What the oral arguments really felt like to me is like the pinnacle of everything that we had previously been fighting for, or I'll speak for myself, everything that I've been fighting for for, you know, the past nearly four years now.
00:03:50.020I have been long awaiting the day where the Supreme Court would hear a Title IX case in this regard.
00:03:55.840So, excitement, joyous, but there's a level of frustration that we even have to be there.
00:04:01.880So, to describe to you guys what it was like on the ground, there were two groups, right?
00:04:06.000You have the pro-woman group, or you can call it the pro-reality, pro-truth, pro-fairness, pro-safety, pro-sex-based rights, pro-science, what happened to follow the science.
00:04:16.720That the pro-woman group was here, and then you have the pro-trans group, the pro-men and women's sports group, the pro-child butchery group.
00:04:34.360Honestly, I thought there would be more security measures in place to prevent us from intermingling, I guess, with one another, but there weren't.
00:04:42.160And I'm happy to report, at least from what I saw and what I've seen online following this, I don't think there was any crazy altercation, which, of course, is a good thing.
00:04:52.060Another thing you saw visually being there on the Supreme Court steps, there were so many more people, in terms of sheer volume, like density, population, that were there for the pro-woman rally, as opposed to the pro-trans rally.
00:05:05.580Which, again, this was kind of a shocking revelation to me.
00:05:12.660Yes, certainly, we know how the public feels about these issues, and we know that the public overwhelmingly supports the idea that men should not be in women's sports.
00:05:21.840But when you're at events like this, you'd be hard-pressed to have a larger turnout than the pro-trans side.
00:05:28.100And I think, you know, there's an array of reasons as to why that is.
00:05:31.140Number one, the pro-trans side, oftentimes, and I have proof of this, I've seen it, especially in different states at state legislative bodies, they're oftentimes paid to be there and to be protesting.
00:05:42.080You have to also consider this was a workday.
00:05:45.260Most people are working, which, typically, we have problems on our side getting people out in the middle of a workday because they have jobs and they have families and they have other things going on.
00:05:55.640So, I was thrilled to see so many people who cared so deeply and so passionately to be there on the ground supporting women.
00:06:04.680And again, what is true, what is right, what is fair, what is just.
00:06:07.380You wouldn't have seen that even two years ago.
00:06:10.100So, I think it represents more than, you know, what we saw visually.
00:06:13.800It represents, I believe, a huge shift in the cultural tide.
00:06:19.140And I think President Trump largely is to thank for that.
00:06:21.360That his boldness and his willingness to go after those who seek to destroy our protections, it provides a lot of cover to people to say the once deemed, even honestly still deemed controversial thing that men can't become women and vice versa.
00:06:38.300That there are two sexes, that you can't change your sex, that each sex is deserving of equal opportunity, of privacy, and of safety.
00:06:45.340Still speaking about some of the very stark differences that I saw between the two groups, on the pro woman side, we opened our rally in prayer.
00:06:53.900Actually, it was Elizabeth Eddy, who is a professional soccer player.
00:07:00.640She's played right alongside people like Megan Rapinoe, which we're going to talk about Megan Rapinoe in a minute.
00:07:05.380But she opened the rally in a really beautiful prayer, acknowledging, yes, of course, that our side is rooted in biological truth, objective truth, but more importantly, rooted in biblical truth.
00:07:19.200And it goes back to the very first book.
00:07:20.900He created them, male and female, intentionally and uniquely in his perfect image.
00:07:25.320We saw American flags waving on our side.
00:07:27.780We saw moms with their young daughters, like, you know, eight-year-old girls who are there who probably got to skip school to be there.
00:07:35.520And they're holding signs and they're smiling ear to ear because I think even they understood the stakes of what was being heard inside the courtroom, you know, just 20 yards behind us.
00:07:43.200I would describe our side very much as happy warriors.
00:07:46.560And one other thing I want to mention, it wasn't a specific demographic of person who was there.
00:07:51.320You saw men, you saw women, you saw old, young, white, black.
00:08:07.060You know, we might not have a whole lot in common on our political views, but even still, it was amazing to be able to link arms, put all the other things aside, link arms, stand there together and advocate for what's true.
00:08:19.480I've got a sign that I saw on the rally on screen right now.
00:08:21.920It says Democrats for an informed approach to gender, which I love this.
00:08:26.720And I think it highlights how this really is a unifying issue, despite how people like AOC or really elected representation in general, and certainly mainstream media, legacy media portrays this issue.
00:12:22.940Like I think we call this pulling up the ladder behind you.
00:12:25.900That's what Megan Rapinoe is doing here.
00:12:28.360And it's funny to me that she has waited until her career has been over to now take this chance.
00:12:33.940And the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team, which Megan Rapinoe was very much a part of, lost 5-2 to a 15-and-under boys high school soccer team.
00:12:43.120So if that right there doesn't tell you that there are biological differences, 15-year-old boys beat the best women in not even just the country, in the world.
00:12:54.160I really never heard Megan Rapinoe speak about that.
00:12:56.780I remain very optimistic that we will see a favorable ruling from the Supreme Court.
00:13:01.340After the Supreme Court, the next day I was in New York where I sat on the couch with the girls and Bill Hemmer of Outnumbered, which was so much fun.
00:13:09.020But there was this clip that surprisingly went viral and has become now controversial.
00:13:18.120And honestly, like, just as you said, like, honest, there's a level of emotion to it, especially when you have to consider the fact you have a three-month-old baby that you have to wrap in a bulletproof blanket because of the threats that were present there yesterday.
00:13:35.100And all these Democrats and their insane policies and the things they say and the things they support, I think 130 congressional Democrats signed a brief supporting the boys in the case.
00:13:43.860They think they're giving the middle finger to President Trump.
00:13:47.940That's not who they're giving the middle finger to.
00:13:50.080They are giving the middle finger to my little baby girl, again, who you have to wrap in like a little bulletproof vest.
00:14:37.800So like logistically, it just didn't make sense.
00:14:40.100I guess one thing that could have been done was my husband stay back in the hotel room with her.
00:14:44.180But again, breastfeeding, like logistically, it really didn't make much sense.
00:14:47.960And so upon talking to security detail, we were able to assess the threats that I'd received, most of them through social media, kind of weed out what seemed credible, what didn't seem credible.
00:14:59.260And we ultimately ruled that it would be okay if Margo came.
00:15:03.160And as far as the bulletproof blanket goes, it was like a bulletproof little shield thing.
00:15:08.020And we kind of just wrapped it around her and my husband wore a carrier, which was really cute.
00:15:12.580He was kind of playing like Mr. Mom with the baby in the carrier and the bulletproof shield blanket plate thing kind of wrapped around her.
00:15:21.100I would have never, my mind would have never even gone to do something like this prior to September 10th, where we watched Charlie Kirk was assassinated in front of thousands where it will live on the internet forever.
00:15:37.060Uh, how do we have such short memories that we forgot this just happened by someone who was, I guess, enthralled by the same ideology that I'm fighting against.
00:15:49.480So that's where the precautionary measure came from on our end.
00:15:53.680And again, um, we consulted security details on this matter.
00:15:58.580And if you follow me for any amount of time on Instagram, on X, on this, this show on Tik TOK, then you know that Margo goes everywhere with me.
00:16:08.160I mean, it's, it's really as simple as that.
00:16:10.380Like she goes everywhere that I go, uh, whether it's the Supreme court, whether it's to go get my nails done or my hair done, like Margo is there with me.
00:16:19.220Um, I think the best way to describe our approach to parenting, especially in these first few months, and I know things may change, especially as she gets older and more mobile.
00:16:27.920But for now she's portable and she's adaptable and she's resilient.
00:16:32.660And so why would I not bring her everywhere that I go?
00:16:37.000So I guess my final thoughts here on the criticism that I received, look, I do understand where people are coming from.
00:16:42.780It's the same thing I heard actually, when I swam Alcatraz at seven months pregnant, the amount of people who commented on my social media saying, you know, like, you're just using that, your pregnancy as an attempt to get clicks and likes, and you're putting your baby in harm's way.
00:16:56.160Oh my gosh, I was pregnant, not disabled, first of all.
00:17:00.880Um, but nonetheless, I'm able to read the criticism, understand maybe people's intentions behind it.
00:17:06.640But at the end of the day, the problem should not be myself and my husband bringing our baby with us to a very public place, right?
00:17:15.120Like the Supreme, I mean, it's exclusive to a degree, but a public place, the steps of the Supreme Court, that should not be the problem.
00:17:21.900The problem should be the people who would love nothing more than to harm myself, my child, my husband, the things that, that we love, the things that we care about very deeply.
00:17:32.300The people who make these threats because they think it's okay to make these threats.
00:17:37.040That's the problem in this scenario, not me bringing my baby alongside with me to a very public event.
00:17:44.500Neither myself nor my husband would ever intentionally put our daughter in harm's way, right?
00:17:50.720Um, but we're not going to lock her in a tower like Rapunzel.
00:17:55.640Um, if she could be there with us and it means we have to take extra security or precautionary measures to make sure that she's there and she's safe, then by all means, we're going to do that.
00:18:07.020One thing about me is I am very much like a poster and ghoster, meaning I'll post online and then I won't get on my phone for, you know, several hours.
00:18:15.420Um, so it wasn't until the next day I was scrolling on X and I saw where Candace Owens weighed into the criticism.
00:18:22.700She says, I'm so happy you said the quiet part out loud.
00:18:25.360It's giving my three-year-old daughter burst into tears when I had to explain to her why society isn't ready to let a woman like Hillary Clinton be president vibes.
00:18:32.580It's manipulative and gross to use your kids as a prop.
00:18:37.580Candace Owens calling anyone manipulative is so rich, but I'm not even going to go there.
00:18:45.720I'm going to address the point where she says I'm using my child as a prop.
00:18:49.840Uh, that is certainly not my intention behind bringing my daughter with me as a breastfeeding mom, bringing my three-month-old with me in public places.
00:18:59.680That is, of course, never my intention.
00:19:30.880We can have different parenting styles.
00:19:33.220But to say it's manipulative and gross to bring my three-month-old baby in a public place where both of her parents are, I think that's really, really rich.
00:19:46.280And she says, you know, I'm happy you're saying the quiet part out loud.
00:19:49.520I don't even really understand, like, what she's getting at there.
00:19:52.960I wasn't saying anything in that clip that I showed you guys that I haven't been saying for, I mean, for years now.
00:20:21.700I will continue to fight for her and she'll continue to be alongside me so long as, again, assessing the situation with security, we feel as if it's a relatively safe bet.
00:21:31.900I think that the underlying enactment, whatever it was, the policy, the law, we'd have to have an understanding of how the state or the government was understanding that term to figure out whether or not someone was excluded.
00:21:42.920We do not have a definition for the court and we don't take issue with the, we're not disputing the definition here.
00:21:48.820What we're saying is that the way it applies in practice is to exclude birth sex males categorically from women's teams and that there's a subset of those birth sex males where it doesn't make sense to do so according to the state's own interest.
00:22:00.880Well, how can you, how can a court determine whether there's discrimination on the basis of sex without knowing what sex means for equal protection purposes?
00:22:11.660I think here we just know that we basically know that the, that they've identified pursuant to their own statute.
00:22:19.440They were there to literally talk about sex-based rights and why they're necessary or I guess on their behalf, why they don't believe that they're necessary.
00:22:29.840And they don't have a definition for simple words like man, woman, girl, boy, uh, male, female defining sex itself.
00:22:40.640This is the Supreme court, the highest court, and they don't have a definition.
00:22:45.980It was in 2022 where that clip went viral of justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Senator Blackburn, asking her, what is a woman?
00:22:54.260I cannot understand how in the year 2026, all of the best and brightest minds of the democratic party, how have they not gotten together in one room?
00:24:02.600It can be observed at birth, but it is not assigned at birth.
00:24:07.160I hate having to listen to these justices say biological women, biological females, as if there's an unbiological alternative to being a woman.
00:24:17.440That was one of my main takeaways after listening.
00:24:19.640I am so desperate for clear sex-based language that everyone can understand.
00:24:26.680I can't even tell you how many times my grandma will send me an article and have questions for me, you know, saying this says trans woman, but it uses she pronouns.
00:24:35.000Is it a man who identifies as a woman or a woman who identifies as a man?
00:24:38.100And honestly, half the time I'm confused.
00:24:40.420We're desperate for clear sex-based language.
00:24:43.700So if you're listening to this, this is my plea.
00:25:04.900And if all that before the Supreme Court wasn't enough, how about Senator Hawley questioning a doctor, a certified OBGYN, a doctor of women's health, of pregnant women, who was asked 11 times if men can get pregnant.
00:25:56.400He spent his entire time questioning this woman again, asked her 11 times, can men get pregnant, which she could not answer.
00:26:04.220How terrifying that a doctor, someone who went to medical school, someone who is entrusted with your health care cannot answer the question if a man can get pregnant.
00:26:17.400I wonder what she would say to the question of, do women need prostate exams?
00:26:23.560She claims it's being politicized, but the only one politicizing Senator Hawley's very straightforward, simple question was her.
00:26:33.220If you cannot emphatically say, which it doesn't matter if you're a doctor, it doesn't matter if you're the leader of the Democratic Party.
00:26:39.120It doesn't matter if you're a fifth grader.
00:26:41.200If you cannot emphatically say that men cannot become pregnant with no hesitation, with full confidence, then I will not believe a single word that comes out of your mouth on any topic because you have zero credibility.
00:26:54.280We are talking about the foundation of humanity, man and woman.
00:27:01.560It's how every single person on this planet is here from man and woman.
00:28:00.440All the press was already sat in the room, which they were packed in like sardines.
00:28:06.120So many people are anxious, chomping at the bit to be able to listen to Caroline and kind of get that first little clip out there.
00:28:13.620So the room was packed with cameras, reporters, people with their notepads and pins, laptops open, left-leaning, right-leaning, everything in between.
00:28:22.500And we walk in, me, Louie, baby Margo, because again, we do things together.
00:28:27.280And you could just see, especially the faces of reporters from left-leaning outlets, kind of like their jaws drop a little bit.
00:28:36.000Like, oh, what is she doing here, which is like often a question I'm asking myself, like, oh my gosh, what am I doing here?
00:28:41.880And we've talked about it before where it has been a priority of mine and my husband's, really mostly my husband's actually, to make sure Margo, her face isn't shown on social media because we're not using her as a prop.
00:28:54.560But when we walked in, I don't think either of us were fully prepared for that many cameras to be in the room.
00:29:01.140And so it was immediately kind of like turning her head to the back of the cameras so no one could see her face, which I actually think we did a pretty good job of that.
00:29:08.620I was able to spend a few minutes with Caroline before walking out there.
00:29:11.480And I asked her, you know, is there anything you want me to ask?
00:29:14.320And she said, look, you can throw anything my way.
00:29:17.320Like, we're prepared, we're ready, nothing is off limits, which I thought that was really cool.
00:29:21.280And it speaks to how confident she is in her role, of course, but also how much she believes her relationship with the president as well.
00:29:28.640And so I thought that was pretty amazing.
00:29:30.400And so I was able to ask her specifically about SCOTUS and what would be the action that the administration would take against the states who don't uphold federal law following what I believe will be a favorable ruling later in the year.
00:29:44.480She reassured me personally, she reassured every reporter in the room and all the people watching online that the president would get involved in any means necessary to any state or institution not following federal law, even if that means bringing down the full hammer of justice alongside the DOJ.
00:30:20.660We talked for probably five, 10 minutes.
00:30:22.140And immediately upon leaving the press briefing room, we ran into Chuck Schumer in the White House, which actually he had some pretty kind things to say about Margo.
00:30:30.920He stopped and talked to her for a bit and said that she's just the cutest little baby.
00:30:34.500Uh, and then we saw Tom Homan, which he, to me, is one of my favorite Trump picks because he's just a normal person.
00:30:45.360Like I think, you know, I don't know him personally very well, but based on what I can conclude from his interviews, how he conducts himself, even the words that he uses, like he's just a normal guy who is frustrated with the direction of the country and was willing to do whatever he needed to do to step up.
