00:01:15.680 real New York sports.

00:01:17.620 Hello, everybody.

00:01:24.660 Welcome back to the Gains for Girls podcast.

00:01:26.600 Today is a very, very special day.

00:01:30.020 It is the 53rd anniversary of Title IX.

00:01:34.320 We've talked about Title IX, its implications,

00:01:37.400 the assault on Title IX several, several times

00:01:40.820 throughout the course of this show.

00:01:42.540 But very excited for today because, number one,

00:01:45.860 we've seen great progress since January 20th,

00:01:49.720 since Donald Trump assumed his role as president,

00:01:52.780 of course, appointing Secretary McMahon

00:01:54.560 as the head of the Department of Education,

00:01:57.900 Attorney General Bondi, who's done a fantastic job

00:02:00.660 at the Department of Justice surrounding Title IX.

00:02:03.440 So we've seen lots of strides.

00:02:05.520 All that to say, of course, I mean, if you watch the news,

00:02:09.820 if you are on social media, you know there are still states

00:02:13.380 who are openly and defiantly ignoring this federal law.

00:02:18.360 So there's lots to be done,

00:02:19.660 but there are certainly strides being made.

00:02:21.220 We have a very special guest for you guys today

00:02:23.520 on this special day to talk about Title IX,

00:02:26.660 what we are seeing at the Department of Education specifically

00:02:29.440 and in collaboration with the Department of Justice

00:02:31.800 for that matter.

00:02:33.180 But before we get into any of that,

00:02:35.640 I want to tell you about today's sponsor.

00:02:37.680 It is Cozy Earth.

00:02:38.840 Uh, it's the end of June at this point.

00:02:42.480 It is hot outside.

00:02:44.120 It is humid where I live in Tennessee.

00:02:46.080 Uh, the heat-humidity combination is brutal.

00:02:50.420 Uh, prior to having Cozy Earth bamboo sheets,

00:02:54.120 I would wake up in the middle of the night,

00:02:55.980 3 a.m., uh, it's hot.

00:02:58.140 Doesn't matter how high I turn my fan.

00:02:59.980 Doesn't matter how low I turn my thermostat.

00:03:02.220 Nothing helped.

00:03:02.900 I would be burning up in the middle of the night.

00:03:04.960 But, uh, then I got these sheets.

00:03:08.040 Uh, they are like magic.

00:03:09.720 They are made from viscose, from bamboo.

00:03:11.820 So, uh, naturally they wick away heat and moisture.

00:03:15.180 I sleep cooler.

00:03:16.340 I sleep longer.

00:03:17.240 I sleep deeper.

00:03:18.080 I wake up feeling refreshed.

00:03:19.980 Uh, they are incredible.

00:03:21.740 You can check them out at CozyEarth.com.

00:03:24.740 I would encourage you to do so.

00:03:26.600 They have a 100-night sleep trial

00:03:28.440 and a 10-year warranty on their sheets,

00:03:31.620 their bedding, loungewear, all the things.

00:03:34.140 Uh, so if you're not obsessed,

00:03:35.520 if you don't love them like I do,

00:03:36.940 like my husband does, like my family does,

00:03:39.000 then you can send yours back.

00:03:40.620 But trust me, you are not going to want to do that.

00:03:44.160 Uh, so do yourself a favor.

00:03:45.460 Go to CozyEarth.com.

00:04:05.560 So go to CozyEarth.com and check it out.

00:04:07.680 For today's guest,

00:04:09.220 uh, she is someone who has,

00:04:10.560 has really been, uh,

00:04:12.640 an important part of,

00:04:14.520 of my life personally

00:04:15.760 over these past few years.

00:04:16.880 Uh, we've had some, some mutual friends.

00:04:19.360 Uh, any question that I have

00:04:20.960 regarding the legal process

00:04:22.260 because, of course,

00:04:23.700 I didn't necessarily approach

00:04:25.560 this, this whole debate,

00:04:27.900 this ongoing debate

00:04:28.980 with a legal mind initially.

00:04:31.000 Uh, she has been someone

00:04:32.100 who can answer those questions.

00:04:33.580 We are talking to Candace Jackson.

00:04:36.140 Uh, she is the U.S. Department

00:04:37.820 of Education, uh,

00:04:39.380 Deputy General Counsel.

00:04:41.580 Fantastic stuff.

00:04:42.540 She served in the first

00:04:43.420 Trump administration

00:04:44.040 as the Acting Assistant Secretary

00:04:45.840 for Civil Rights

00:04:46.780 and Deputy General Counsel.

00:04:48.720 Um, again,

00:04:49.520 that was from 2017 to 2021.

00:04:51.820 For the last few years,

00:04:53.060 she has practiced law

00:04:54.000 in Washington State,

00:04:55.760 in California.

00:04:57.040 Uh, the usual bad actors

00:04:58.740 in these conversations

00:04:59.760 that we're having

00:05:00.560 as she's consulted

00:05:01.820 with groups and individuals

00:05:02.940 challenging the harmful,

00:05:05.160 harmful,

00:05:05.820 and severe effects

00:05:07.000 of the concept

00:05:07.760 of gender identity,

00:05:09.200 uh, both in laws

00:05:10.800 and policies

00:05:11.620 in schools,

00:05:13.380 employment,

00:05:13.940 the workplace,

00:05:14.380 and in public accommodation.

00:05:16.060 So very excited

00:05:16.800 for this conversation.

00:05:17.580 You can check it out

00:05:18.540 right here.

00:05:19.560 Well, thank you, Candace,

00:05:20.560 for joining the Gains for Girls

00:05:22.180 podcast,

00:05:23.280 especially on such an important

00:05:24.800 and pivotal day,

00:05:26.060 uh, pivotal day,

00:05:26.840 at least in my life.

00:05:28.040 Uh, it is the anniversary

00:05:29.600 of Title IX,

00:05:31.140 so, uh, just very grateful

00:05:32.840 for the opportunity

00:05:33.480 to talk about you

00:05:34.400 as this is something

00:05:35.120 that you have been

00:05:35.860 on the forefront of,

00:05:37.160 of course,

00:05:37.520 in terms of litigation,

00:05:38.500 uh, and enforcement

00:05:39.940 for that matter.

00:05:40.680 So, uh, let's just start here.

00:05:43.320 The Department of Education

00:05:44.520 this month,

00:05:45.460 the month of June,

00:05:46.640 uh, declared this

00:05:47.480 as Title IX month.

00:05:49.120 Can you walk us

00:05:49.820 through the motivation

00:05:50.520 and the timing behind this

00:05:52.460 and I think what you hope

00:05:54.360 the public and schools

00:05:55.900 certainly take away

00:05:56.760 from this declaration?

00:05:59.160 Absolutely.

00:06:00.000 I mean, June is the birth month

00:06:02.100 of, of Title IX,

00:06:03.340 as you say,

00:06:04.000 so it, it's a good time

00:06:05.880 to, uh, raise awareness

00:06:08.200 and call attention

00:06:09.160 and call June

00:06:10.100 Title IX month.

00:06:11.420 Uh, there are, of course,

00:06:12.800 other names for June

00:06:14.300 that have emerged

00:06:15.300 over the last, uh,

00:06:16.380 many years,

00:06:16.940 but unfortunately,

00:06:17.860 much of that

00:06:19.260 has come to mean

00:06:20.180 a direct challenge

00:06:21.500 and attempt to tear down

00:06:23.140 what Title IX stands for,

00:06:25.520 uh, which is protection,

00:06:26.660 uh, on the basis of sex

00:06:28.560 in all education programs

00:06:30.060 or activities,

00:06:31.040 sports, uh, included,

00:06:32.620 but not, not exclusively.

00:06:34.480 And specifically,

00:06:36.240 well, let's think back,

00:06:38.040 you know,

00:06:38.380 53 years ago today,

00:06:40.280 was a Title IX needed

00:06:42.660 because boys were the ones

00:06:44.720 that faced discrimination

00:06:46.280 and barriers and challenge.

00:06:47.700 No, it was girls, 1.00

00:06:49.020 girls and women.

00:06:50.520 And Title IX has,

00:06:52.040 has come a long way

00:06:53.220 until the last several years

00:06:55.080 of, of coming under assault.

00:06:56.920 So we thought there

00:06:58.120 is no better time

00:07:00.160 than now,

00:07:01.160 after four years

00:07:01.980 of the Biden administration

00:07:03.060 trying to gut

00:07:04.180 and really invert

00:07:05.980 the very purpose

00:07:07.300 and, and goals

00:07:08.600 of Title IX

00:07:09.420 and then to draw attention

00:07:10.600 to Title IX

00:07:12.140 being over half a century old

00:07:13.940 and still having work to do

00:07:15.560 right now

00:07:16.540 for girls and women.

00:07:18.260 Yeah, that's incredible.

00:07:19.800 Uh, you mentioned

00:07:21.020 the Biden administration,

00:07:22.900 really their assault

00:07:23.840 on Title IX,

00:07:25.340 uh, which I believe

00:07:26.460 this to be the most

00:07:27.540 anti-woman,

00:07:29.020 anti-reality pursuit

00:07:30.420 that we saw

00:07:31.100 from this administration.

00:07:32.500 And of course,

00:07:33.320 you alluded to how,

00:07:34.320 uh, June has historically

00:07:35.940 been known,

00:07:36.600 especially under

00:07:37.260 the Biden administration,

00:07:38.140 within every agency,

00:07:39.440 every department,

00:07:40.220 including the Department

00:07:41.020 of Education,

00:07:41.880 even in departments

00:07:42.840 where it made

00:07:43.460 literally no sense at all,

00:07:44.820 like, like the Department

00:07:46.160 of, you know,

00:07:47.100 Defense,

00:07:47.700 you're talking about

00:07:48.600 Pride Month.

00:07:50.240 Uh, can you explain

00:07:52.100 this assault

00:07:53.460 and how the application

00:07:54.420 of Title IX

00:07:54.920 has really evolved

00:07:55.900 over the past few years?

00:07:57.580 Uh, certainly,

00:07:58.740 I mean, going back

00:07:59.920 53 years ago,

00:08:01.140 uh, we've talked about

00:08:02.340 it on this show before,

00:08:03.240 how it was a very brief

00:08:04.820 little paragraph

00:08:05.880 when it was first implemented.

00:08:07.660 And only 37 words

00:08:09.100 totally changed.

00:08:11.000 Um, so can you talk

00:08:11.980 about what that looked like?

00:08:13.020 I think especially

00:08:13.720 from the Biden administration

00:08:14.860 and now back

00:08:15.820 to the Trump administration.

00:08:17.760 Yeah, the,

00:08:18.560 the Biden administration

00:08:19.880 made an,

00:08:20.960 an all-out effort

00:08:22.200 that, that started,

00:08:23.520 by the way,

00:08:23.820 in the Obama administration.

00:08:24.940 So the first

00:08:26.020 Trump administration

00:08:26.920 had to push back,

00:08:28.560 uh, an effort

00:08:29.740 from the Obama administration

00:08:31.360 to start to,

00:08:32.840 um,

00:08:33.840 subvert the,

00:08:35.060 the meaning of Title IX.

00:08:36.460 Uh, but what we saw

00:08:38.580 in the four years

00:08:39.560 of the Biden administration,

00:08:40.780 what was,

00:08:41.840 was astounding,

00:08:43.020 uh, to,

00:08:43.940 to say that,

00:08:44.880 uh, discrimination

00:08:46.500 on the basis of sex

00:08:48.720 that's prohibited

00:08:49.620 under Title IX

00:08:50.600 is now going to include

00:08:51.720 discrimination

00:08:52.580 on the basis

00:08:53.440 of something

00:08:54.460 they call gender identity.

00:08:56.020 They can't define it.

00:08:57.420 They don't define it.

00:08:58.680 They don't even attempt

00:08:59.920 to explain

00:09:00.940 how to identify

00:09:01.860 what someone's

00:09:03.080 gender identity

00:09:03.840 might be

00:09:04.520 and how it interrelates

00:09:06.200 to that person's sex.

00:09:07.600 Uh, does it,

00:09:08.720 does, does this concept

00:09:09.720 of identity

00:09:10.460 determine

00:09:11.400 your sex now? 0.90

00:09:13.440 Um,

00:09:14.400 the implication,

00:09:15.360 of course,

00:09:15.780 is, is,

00:09:16.480 is that everyone

00:09:17.340 gets to choose

00:09:18.260 their own sex

00:09:18.960 because any law

00:09:20.520 and any space

00:09:22.080 where Title IX

00:09:22.860 has come,

00:09:23.480 has come in

00:09:24.160 and said,

00:09:24.880 um, you know,

00:09:25.800 here are the areas

00:09:26.540 in particular

00:09:27.320 that we're concerned

00:09:28.300 about equality

00:09:29.340 between the sexes

00:09:30.380 and true equality

00:09:31.620 of opportunity

00:09:32.460 between the sexes.

00:09:34.640 Well,

00:09:35.200 if you,

00:09:36.000 if you bring in

00:09:37.180 a concept

00:09:37.700 that you can have

00:09:39.480 separate categories

00:09:40.960 or classifications

00:09:42.100 between, uh,

00:09:43.900 boys and girls

00:09:44.740 for certain things

00:09:45.740 to preserve

00:09:46.640 equality of,

00:09:49.160 uh,

00:09:49.600 not just opportunity

00:09:50.680 in sports,

00:09:51.380 but, you know,

00:09:52.120 when you think about

00:09:52.840 separate spaces,

00:09:54.220 um,

00:09:55.040 for bathrooms

00:09:55.920 or locker rooms

00:09:56.860 or PE classes

00:09:57.960 or sex ed classes,

00:09:59.640 there are privacy

00:10:00.700 concerns,

00:10:01.260 there are dignity

00:10:01.920 concerns,

00:10:02.840 there,

00:10:03.200 there are rational,

00:10:05.100 common sense,

00:10:06.160 obvious reasons

00:10:07.100 throughout human history

00:10:08.200 why Title IX

00:10:10.180 would come in

00:10:10.840 and say,

00:10:11.560 you need to treat

00:10:12.500 boys and girls

00:10:13.060 equally,

00:10:13.580 and, of course,

00:10:14.580 sometimes that means

00:10:15.380 separating them out

00:10:16.280 and giving them

00:10:16.820 their own comparable

00:10:18.160 spaces or,

00:10:19.320 or things.

00:10:20.120 So,

00:10:20.940 to turn that around

00:10:22.060 and have a concept

00:10:23.360 come in and say,

00:10:24.680 well, yeah,

00:10:25.020 we're still gonna,

00:10:25.780 we're still gonna have

00:10:26.500 the,

00:10:26.800 the boys thing

00:10:27.500 and the girls thing,

00:10:28.280 it's just that

00:10:28.700 everybody now gets

00:10:29.380 to choose

00:10:29.920 which of those

00:10:30.460 categories

00:10:30.960 they belong to

00:10:32.060 on the face of it,

00:10:35.460 logically,

00:10:36.340 that,

00:10:36.580 that cannot possibly

00:10:37.720 then end up

00:10:38.740 being a,

00:10:39.340 a separation

00:10:40.600 based on sex anymore

00:10:42.660 or even being able

00:10:44.140 to track

00:10:45.060 actual disparities

00:10:47.660 anymore

00:10:48.140 between what's going

00:10:49.260 on with boys

00:10:49.880 in education

00:10:50.500 and what's going

00:10:51.180 on with girls

00:10:51.680 in education.

00:10:52.960 That's right.

00:10:53.820 They,

00:10:54.340 it seems they almost

00:10:55.600 use those words

00:10:56.740 sex and gender

00:10:57.580 identity

00:10:58.080 like synonymously

00:10:59.860 or interchangeably

00:11:01.700 to mean the same

00:11:02.620 thing,

00:11:03.080 but those two words,

00:11:05.180 of course,

00:11:06.100 the,

00:11:07.020 what they really mean,

00:11:08.040 they're in direct

00:11:08.580 conflict with one

00:11:09.700 another.

00:11:10.580 That's why we've seen

00:11:11.420 states like Iowa,

00:11:12.540 I believe,

00:11:13.020 who have,

00:11:13.800 initially,

00:11:14.920 they,

00:11:15.160 they had in their

00:11:16.240 civil protections

00:11:17.780 in their state statute

00:11:18.740 both sex

00:11:19.440 and gender identity.

00:11:20.160 You had Governor

00:11:21.140 Kim Reynolds

00:11:21.700 just remove

00:11:22.480 gender identity,

00:11:23.540 of course,

00:11:23.820 understanding now

00:11:24.740 at this point,

00:11:25.740 they are in contrast

00:11:26.960 with one another.

00:11:28.880 It's not just a question

00:11:29.880 of adding some

00:11:31.560 separate characteristic

00:11:32.800 to what's being called,

00:11:34.620 you know,

00:11:35.680 covered by Title IX.

00:11:37.980 It's the fact that

00:11:39.500 whatever,

00:11:40.140 whatever the,

00:11:40.760 the characteristic

00:11:41.900 or concept

00:11:42.620 of gender identity

00:11:43.640 is,

00:11:44.200 as you say,

00:11:45.460 you,

00:11:45.700 you cannot apply that

00:11:47.240 in a,

00:11:47.680 in a way

00:11:48.260 that doesn't erase

00:11:50.100 the very category

00:11:51.280 of sex

00:11:52.960 as an objective

00:11:54.340 characteristic

00:11:54.960 of all humans.

00:11:56.440 That's right.

00:11:57.400 Now we're seeing

00:11:58.220 a growing number

00:11:59.360 of states

00:12:00.060 openly defy

00:12:02.220 this federal law,

00:12:03.520 of course,

00:12:03.900 this federal law

00:12:04.700 being Title IX.

00:12:06.440 Whether it's on

00:12:07.280 gender identity

00:12:07.860 policies

00:12:08.500 or athletics

00:12:09.360 or access

00:12:10.320 to facilities,

00:12:11.440 how are these states

00:12:12.480 able to operate

00:12:14.300 so openly

00:12:15.500 in contradiction

00:12:16.620 to federal law?

00:12:17.980 Most people

00:12:18.480 would remember

00:12:19.040 the encounter,

00:12:19.760 of course,

00:12:20.160 between Governor Mills

00:12:21.180 of Maine

00:12:21.860 and President Trump.

00:12:23.780 I think she thought

00:12:25.100 she had this

00:12:25.840 mic drop moment

00:12:26.980 where she said,

00:12:27.680 I'll see you in court.

00:12:28.940 I think that really

00:12:29.640 backfired on her.

00:12:30.520 Now, of course,

00:12:30.960 you have Governor Newsom

00:12:31.940 who even just

00:12:33.680 during all the LA riots,

00:12:35.400 he really tried

00:12:36.160 to sneak this in

00:12:37.600 in true Gavin Newsom fashion

00:12:39.480 where he continues

00:12:41.080 to at least

00:12:42.040 appear to sit

00:12:43.500 on the fence

00:12:44.040 winking at both sides.

00:12:46.060 He even slipped

00:12:47.320 this into

00:12:47.840 a recent lawsuit

00:12:48.960 suing the Department

00:12:49.840 of Justice

00:12:50.300 and the Trump

00:12:50.780 administration

00:12:51.380 over their

00:12:53.020 unwillingness

00:12:54.300 to allow boys

00:12:56.200 into girls' sports.

00:12:57.080 So how are these states

00:12:58.060 able to do this

00:12:59.220 so openly?

00:13:00.620 Yeah, I think there

00:13:01.500 are several

00:13:02.400 different factors

00:13:04.200 that play into that.

00:13:05.900 I think one is

00:13:06.700 they have had

00:13:07.600 the benefit

00:13:08.220 of coming off

00:13:10.280 of four years

00:13:11.660 of an administration

00:13:12.760 that fully supported

00:13:14.800 this,

00:13:15.940 pushed it

00:13:16.880 onto schools

00:13:17.680 that were reluctant

00:13:18.940 and fully supported

00:13:21.440 the efforts

00:13:22.640 of states

00:13:23.900 that had already

00:13:24.520 been ahead

00:13:25.040 on this issue

00:13:25.740 like California,

00:13:27.320 like Minnesota,

00:13:28.580 like Washington State,

00:13:30.380 Oregon,

00:13:31.780 Colorado.

00:13:34.120 So they've been trained

00:13:35.980 to think that

00:13:36.820 this is the wave

00:13:37.560 of the future,

00:13:38.540 that this is

00:13:39.400 a foregone conclusion

00:13:40.760 in terms of

00:13:41.740 some civil rights

00:13:43.160 crusade

00:13:44.120 and I think

00:13:46.980 that there's

00:13:47.480 probably an attitude

00:13:48.460 of we'll just

00:13:49.100 wait out

00:13:49.580 the Trump administration

00:13:50.480 and then we'll

00:13:51.480 go back to being

00:13:52.340 able to do

00:13:52.840 whatever we want

00:13:53.460 to do.

00:13:54.540 And the other

00:13:55.160 important thing

00:13:55.940 to keep in mind

00:13:56.700 that we're battling

00:13:57.620 now at the Department

00:13:58.600 of Education

00:13:59.360 is the fact

00:14:00.640 that in the history

00:14:02.780 of trying to enforce

00:14:04.020 Title IX,

00:14:05.640 it actually

00:14:07.140 hasn't come down

00:14:08.380 to this before.

00:14:09.280 There's never been

00:14:10.220 this showdown

00:14:11.600 between the federal

00:14:12.400 government

00:14:12.880 and multiple states

00:14:14.140 just openly,

00:14:15.260 defiantly saying,

00:14:16.620 we don't care

00:14:17.240 what you federal

00:14:17.840 government have to say

00:14:18.720 about Title IX,

00:14:19.560 we refuse to do it.

00:14:20.900 They always have

00:14:21.740 backed down

00:14:22.400 and we reach a resolution

00:14:23.580 and you don't have

00:14:25.120 to push it this far.

00:14:26.260 That's just been

00:14:26.760 the history

00:14:27.640 of how the Office

00:14:29.420 for Civil Rights

00:14:30.320 and the Department

00:14:30.940 of Education

00:14:31.660 has operated.

00:14:34.040 And so I think

00:14:34.720 states are playing

00:14:35.520 a game of chicken.

00:14:36.780 I think they are

00:14:37.900 trying to call

00:14:39.540 the federal government's

00:14:40.580 enforcement bluff.

00:14:42.400 There's just never

00:14:43.820 been an administration

00:14:45.220 that has been

00:14:47.000 committed to

00:14:48.260 seeing enforcement

00:14:49.340 all the way through

00:14:50.280 like this

00:14:51.000 in the face

00:14:52.800 of this kind

00:14:54.700 of open

00:14:55.280 defiance

00:14:56.380 at a state level.

00:14:58.740 Of course,

00:14:59.560 Title IX

00:14:59.960 is not the only issue

00:15:01.080 that this is playing

00:15:01.900 out like this

00:15:02.640 with in the federal

00:15:03.660 government.

00:15:04.280 So there's an overall

00:15:05.640 political dynamic

00:15:06.940 playing into this

00:15:07.860 as well.

00:15:09.120 But we're

00:15:10.500 focused on

00:15:12.440 saying

00:15:13.000 we have tools

00:15:14.440 at our disposal.

00:15:15.560 We have pathways

00:15:16.640 for actually

00:15:17.460 following through

00:15:18.520 with termination

00:15:20.160 of funding

00:15:20.920 and we're going

00:15:21.880 down those pathways.

00:15:22.900 We're not going to

00:15:23.280 accept that states

00:15:25.260 are trying to say,

00:15:26.560 well, we'll follow

00:15:27.040 our own state laws

00:15:28.060 and continue taking

00:15:29.160 federal money

00:15:29.780 for our schools

00:15:30.540 and yet

00:15:31.660 completely discount

00:15:33.540 a major civil rights

00:15:35.820 law like this.

00:15:36.440 This might be 0.99

00:15:40.340 a stupid question 1.00

00:15:41.140 but for those 1.00

00:15:42.820 of us

00:15:43.340 including myself

00:15:44.540 who don't

00:15:45.340 necessarily

00:15:46.000 approach this

00:15:46.840 with the same

00:15:47.680 legal mind

00:15:48.480 that you do,

00:15:49.800 is it fair

00:15:50.520 to assume

00:15:51.220 or to say

00:15:52.600 to assert

00:15:53.240 that federal law

00:15:54.300 automatically preempts

00:15:56.380 conflicting state law

00:15:57.740 in every scenario?

00:15:58.900 Is that how that works?

00:16:00.240 That's a great question

00:16:01.480 and it's not

00:16:02.360 it's not an easy

00:16:03.440 it's not necessarily

00:16:04.580 an easier

00:16:05.220 or clear thing

00:16:06.300 as a general rule

00:16:09.140 yes, federal law

00:16:10.280 preempts state law

00:16:11.680 where there's

00:16:12.240 a direct conflict

00:16:13.360 and you really

00:16:13.940 can't comply

00:16:14.560 with both

00:16:15.260 it's a little tricky

00:16:18.740 on what the remedy

00:16:20.120 is under a statute

00:16:22.020 like Title IX

00:16:22.940 because Congress

00:16:23.720 passed that law

00:16:24.900 under its spending authority

00:16:29.180 and so the recourse

00:16:30.780 is cutting off

00:16:33.760 the federal money

00:16:35.040 that flows

00:16:35.560 that flows

00:16:35.580 to a discriminatory

00:16:36.580 practice

00:16:37.180 so state law

00:16:40.700 can't trump

00:16:42.200 federal law

00:16:43.440 but the remedy

00:16:44.680 for that

00:16:45.380 under a law

00:16:46.420 like Title IX

00:16:47.420 ends up being

00:16:48.520 okay state

00:16:49.860 at the end of the day

00:16:50.960 you can keep doing

00:16:52.020 the wrong thing

00:16:52.940 but you shouldn't get

00:16:53.980 federal money anymore

00:16:54.780 for it

00:16:55.940 gotcha

00:16:56.780 yeah that makes sense

00:16:58.080 can you clarify

00:16:58.980 where things stand

00:17:00.020 in both California

00:17:01.260 and Maine

00:17:02.440 again the two states

00:17:03.540 that have really been

00:17:04.320 in the headlines

00:17:04.900 surrounding this issue

00:17:05.980 in terms of enforcement

00:17:07.500 or legal action

00:17:08.820 I guess

00:17:09.300 yeah

00:17:10.060 in Maine

00:17:11.300 both

00:17:12.360 the Department of Justice

00:17:14.100 has them in court

00:17:15.320 now

00:17:15.680 over our Title IX

00:17:16.920 findings in violation

00:17:18.540 of Title IX

00:17:19.400 and

00:17:20.280 the Department

00:17:21.700 has

00:17:22.460 our own

00:17:23.280 administrative

00:17:23.880 proceeding

00:17:24.500 against Maine

00:17:26.220 to

00:17:26.780 have an

00:17:28.500 administrative

00:17:28.960 law judge

00:17:29.920 ultimately

00:17:30.900 hold a hearing

00:17:31.780 and declare

00:17:32.920 them

00:17:33.380 declare our ability

00:17:34.960 to terminate

00:17:36.500 funding going

00:17:37.560 into the future

00:17:38.440 over this

00:17:40.080 there are

00:17:40.860 procedural protections

00:17:41.980 built in

00:17:42.720 so that

00:17:43.360 schools

00:17:44.000 can't just

00:17:45.020 you know

00:17:45.880 lose their funding

00:17:46.700 overnight

00:17:47.120 so

00:17:48.380 those are

00:17:49.020 processes

00:17:49.620 that

00:17:50.160 we get to

00:17:51.000 argue about

00:17:51.780 in court

00:17:52.620 through the

00:17:53.040 Department of Justice

00:17:53.840 and

00:17:54.460 see how

00:17:55.640 things go

00:17:56.580 in court

00:17:57.160 and

00:17:58.920 those

00:17:59.180 procedural

00:18:00.140 protections

00:18:00.720 are there

00:18:01.620 for good

00:18:02.040 reasons

00:18:02.580 I will say

00:18:05.140 it's frustrating

00:18:06.740 that it

00:18:07.280 can take a while

00:18:08.460 to get an

00:18:09.400 ultimate

00:18:09.780 ability

00:18:11.420 to terminate

00:18:12.500 funding

00:18:12.860 for

00:18:13.440 a state

00:18:14.980 that just

00:18:15.440 continues

00:18:16.000 to

00:18:17.120 put out

00:18:19.720 statements

00:18:21.180 and

00:18:22.040 defy

00:18:23.660 what the

00:18:25.040 federal

00:18:25.240 government's

00:18:26.100 position is

00:18:27.260 these states

00:18:28.180 are a little

00:18:28.500 different

00:18:28.860 in terms

00:18:29.380 of

00:18:30.060 population

00:18:31.200 size

00:18:31.860 number one

00:18:32.460 how much

00:18:32.880 funding

00:18:33.240 they get

00:18:33.800 my

00:18:34.960 understanding

00:18:35.740 is Maine

00:18:36.640 is a very

00:18:37.040 small

00:18:37.860 state

00:18:38.940 it's a very

00:18:39.320 poor state

00:18:39.960 I don't believe

00:18:40.940 they can survive

00:18:41.800 without federal

00:18:42.480 funds

00:18:42.800 so it's amazing

00:18:43.520 to me

00:18:44.000 really remarkable

00:18:45.160 that you have

00:18:46.000 a governor

00:18:46.460 in a legislative

00:18:47.560 body that

00:18:48.300 continues to

00:18:49.020 allow this

00:18:49.520 to happen

00:18:49.960 knowing the

00:18:50.880 consequences

00:18:51.380 in California

00:18:51.960 what receives

00:18:52.700 like billions

00:18:53.840 of dollars

00:18:54.520 in federal

00:18:55.320 funds

00:18:55.800 as it pertains

00:18:56.780 to the

00:18:57.080 educational

00:18:57.560 realm

00:18:58.840 well

00:19:00.380 and here's

00:19:00.820 what's so

00:19:01.180 astounding

00:19:01.620 I feel

00:19:02.280 like when

00:19:02.620 when you

00:19:03.260 know

00:19:03.500 two people

00:19:04.260 like us

00:19:04.860 who have

00:19:05.120 been in

00:19:05.400 this fight

00:19:05.800 for for

00:19:06.420 years now

00:19:07.140 and you

00:19:07.420 step back

00:19:08.020 and you

00:19:08.260 realize

00:19:08.640 what are

00:19:09.020 they fighting

00:19:09.540 for

00:19:09.940 exactly

00:19:10.620 they're

00:19:11.560 fighting

00:19:11.980 for the

00:19:12.520 right to

00:19:13.060 keep denying

00:19:14.140 basic

00:19:15.000 reality

00:19:15.680 the right

00:19:16.420 to keep

00:19:17.040 totally

00:19:18.160 making up

00:19:19.400 and pretending

00:19:20.220 that boys

00:19:22.040 can be girls

00:19:22.780 on you know

00:19:23.960 on their

00:19:24.220 say so

00:19:24.820 and that

00:19:25.140 it's a

00:19:25.440 good thing

00:19:26.140 to mislead

00:19:28.260 not just

00:19:29.080 boys and

00:19:29.940 girls 0.98

00:19:30.400 about

00:19:32.020 whether

00:19:32.940 they're

00:19:33.180 male or

00:19:33.580 female 0.86

00:19:33.900 but then

00:19:34.960 to force

00:19:35.380 everybody

00:19:36.060 around them

00:19:36.820 to follow

00:19:38.020 that same

00:19:39.040 falsehood

00:19:40.560 to structure

00:19:42.660 an entire

00:19:43.320 educational

00:19:43.980 system

00:19:44.600 around

00:19:44.980 cutting

00:19:45.340 parents

00:19:45.820 out of

00:19:46.200 the process

00:19:46.760 and create

00:19:48.640 these

00:19:49.080 secret

00:19:50.360 channels

00:19:50.940 where kids

00:19:52.040 are questioning

00:19:53.220 their sex

00:19:53.840 and starting

00:19:54.360 to act

00:19:54.780 in an

00:19:55.060 opposite

00:19:55.380 sex

00:19:55.780 way

00:19:56.120 and the

00:19:56.400 school

00:19:56.600 facilitates

00:19:57.360 that

00:19:57.600 I mean

00:19:57.800 it all

00:19:58.600 plays in

00:19:59.200 together

00:19:59.600 that this

00:20:00.140 is what

00:20:01.400 those states

00:20:02.060 are fighting

00:20:02.600 to keep

00:20:04.080 going with

00:20:04.980 you know

00:20:06.180 we just

00:20:06.720 on May

00:20:07.920 1st

00:20:08.560 the Department

00:20:09.380 of Health

00:20:10.040 and Human

00:20:10.360 Services

00:20:10.920 released

00:20:11.620 a comprehensive

00:20:13.700 report

00:20:14.480 on pediatric

00:20:15.260 gender

00:20:15.740 transition

00:20:16.380 the entire

00:20:17.980 premise

00:20:18.640 for pretending

00:20:19.940 that kids

00:20:21.440 can choose

00:20:22.060 or change

00:20:22.520 their own

00:20:22.940 sex 0.64

00:20:23.360 is lacking 0.96

00:20:24.920 there is

00:20:25.480 no basis

00:20:25.960 for it

00:20:26.500 I don't

00:20:27.420 think any

00:20:27.840 of us

00:20:28.100 needed a

00:20:28.600 report

00:20:28.980 to understand

00:20:29.880 that

00:20:30.340 from a

00:20:31.040 common

00:20:31.260 sense

00:20:31.640 view

00:20:31.920 but the

00:20:32.800 dangers

00:20:33.460 and the

00:20:34.120 harms

00:20:34.660 that continue

00:20:35.620 to flow

00:20:37.300 from the

00:20:38.160 basic lie

00:20:39.200 of sex

00:20:41.400 as a matter

00:20:41.920 of subjective

00:20:42.920 choice

00:20:43.620 that's what

00:20:45.800 these states

00:20:46.500 like Maine

00:20:47.260 and California

00:20:48.000 and Washington

00:20:48.820 and Oregon

00:20:49.460 are really

00:20:51.160 staking

00:20:51.780 their federal

00:20:53.220 funds on

00:20:53.820 it's astounding

00:20:54.800 actually

00:20:55.260 yeah

00:20:56.140 it's what

00:20:56.820 are they

00:20:57.100 fighting for

00:20:57.720 and who

00:20:58.060 are they

00:20:58.320 fighting against

00:20:59.160 I think

00:20:59.880 they think

00:21:00.280 they're giving

00:21:00.680 the middle

00:21:01.020 finger to

00:21:01.520 Trump

00:21:01.940 but that's

00:21:03.240 not at all

00:21:03.660 who they're

00:21:03.980 giving the

00:21:04.340 middle finger

00:21:04.800 to

00:21:05.060 they're giving

00:21:05.440 the middle

00:21:05.760 finger to

00:21:06.380 a generation

00:21:07.300 of young

00:21:08.540 girls 0.98

00:21:09.100 who have

00:21:09.960 dreams

00:21:10.400 to succeed

00:21:11.280 and achieve

00:21:12.060 and compete

00:21:12.920 and call

00:21:13.340 themselves

00:21:13.680 champions

00:21:14.180 and that's

00:21:15.960 the most

00:21:16.260 heartbreaking

00:21:16.620 part to

00:21:17.280 me

00:21:17.600 are there

00:21:18.660 plans to

00:21:19.300 hold other

00:21:19.920 non-compliant

00:21:20.760 states

00:21:21.360 like some

00:21:22.660 of the ones

00:21:23.020 we mentioned

00:21:23.580 Oregon

00:21:24.280 Washington

00:21:25.520 accountable

00:21:26.220 as well

00:21:26.760 yes

00:21:28.040 we are not

00:21:28.980 going to

00:21:29.780 cease

00:21:30.360 aggressive

00:21:31.800 efforts

00:21:32.440 the

00:21:34.340 Washington

00:21:36.080 state

00:21:36.720 investigation

00:21:37.580 that we

00:21:38.220 have going

00:21:38.660 on jointly

00:21:39.260 with the

00:21:39.640 Department

00:21:39.960 of Justice

00:21:40.520 through our

00:21:41.040 special

00:21:41.320 investigations

00:21:41.980 team

00:21:42.700 is

00:21:43.340 ramping

00:21:45.400 up

00:21:45.700 and we

00:21:46.520 expect

00:21:46.860 to

00:21:47.180 conclude

00:21:47.540 that

00:21:47.900 over

00:21:48.400 the

00:21:48.600 summer

00:21:48.880 and

00:21:50.640 other

00:21:50.980 states

00:21:51.460 are

00:21:51.780 going

00:21:52.660 to

00:21:52.840 find

00:21:53.060 themselves

00:21:53.500 I think

00:21:53.880 we're

00:21:54.040 increasingly

00:21:54.600 seeing

00:21:55.060 both

00:21:55.340 private

00:21:55.680 lawsuits

00:21:56.260 proceeding

00:21:58.680 as well

00:21:59.520 as multiple

00:22:00.100 government

00:22:01.080 agencies

00:22:01.620 so

00:22:02.120 this

00:22:03.040 isn't

00:22:04.220 going to

00:22:04.460 stop

00:22:04.840 until

00:22:05.300 girls 0.98

00:22:05.780 and

00:22:06.020 women 1.00

00:22:06.300 have

00:22:06.800 the

00:22:07.000 recognition

00:22:07.540 in

00:22:07.840 law

00:22:08.060 that

00:22:08.260 we

00:22:08.440 need

00:22:08.720 and

00:22:08.840 deserve

00:22:09.200 you

00:22:10.100 mentioned

00:22:10.420 this

00:22:43.080 administration

00:22:43.660 created

00:22:44.300 we're

00:22:45.000 horrified

00:22:45.620 to see

00:22:46.100 the

00:22:52.920 together

00:22:53.660 in a

00:22:54.100 way

00:22:54.940 haven't

00:22:55.200 done

00:22:55.420 before

00:22:56.400 that

00:22:56.680 we

00:22:56.880 can

00:22:57.060 launch

00:22:57.540 statewide

00:22:58.100 investigations

00:23:27.100 concluded

00:23:27.580 it

00:23:27.880 just

00:23:28.060 has

00:23:28.220 made

00:23:29.500 more

00:23:29.720 seamless

00:23:30.120 and

00:23:30.360 efficient

00:23:30.720 and

00:23:31.200 streamlined

00:23:32.220 enforcement

00:23:33.720 process

00:23:34.280 than

00:23:34.820 either

00:23:35.480 department

00:23:35.940 has

00:23:36.160 seen

00:23:36.300 before

00:23:36.620 yeah

00:23:37.500 that's

00:23:37.860 incredible

00:23:38.320 last

00:23:39.780 thing

00:23:40.060 for

00:23:40.320 you

00:23:40.620 what

00:23:41.120 would

00:23:41.420 you

00:23:41.640 say

00:23:41.920 to

00:23:42.140 parents

00:23:42.720 or

00:23:43.300 students

00:23:44.000 or

00:23:44.620 educators

00:23:45.260 who

00:23:45.640 feel

00:23:46.020 like

00:23:46.460 the

00:23:47.260 system

00:23:47.760 is

00:23:48.640 failing

00:23:48.980 them

00:23:49.240 right

00:23:49.400 now

00:23:49.560 especially

00:23:49.980 again

00:23:50.360 when

00:23:50.580 schools

00:23:51.180 or

00:23:51.600 states

00:23:51.860 are

00:23:52.040 blatantly

00:23:52.460 ignoring

00:23:53.000 the

00:23:53.660 rights

00:23:54.000 of

00:23:54.300 both

00:23:54.860 girls 0.98

00:23:55.180 and

00:23:55.480 boys

00:23:55.720 for

00:23:55.900 that

00:23:56.060 matter

00:23:56.280 I

00:23:58.220 would

00:23:58.780 say

00:23:59.180 first

00:24:01.260 to

00:24:01.840 parents

00:24:03.700 be

00:24:05.340 confident

00:24:06.040 the

00:24:08.140 tide

00:24:09.840 is

00:24:10.040 turning

00:24:10.460 on

00:24:11.940 this

00:24:12.500 issue

00:24:12.880 you

00:24:13.940 still

00:24:14.220 get

00:24:14.440 attacked

00:24:14.940 if

00:24:15.180 you

00:24:15.300 try

00:24:15.480 to

00:24:15.640 stand

00:24:15.900 up

00:24:16.080 sometimes

00:24:16.540 in

00:24:16.780 schools

00:24:17.200 and

00:24:17.440 say

00:24:17.640 hey

00:24:18.000 don't

00:24:18.240 want

00:24:20.440 this

00:24:20.620 field

00:24:20.920 trip

00:24:21.340 with

00:24:21.900 boys

00:24:22.800 in

00:24:23.160 her

00:24:24.040 room

00:24:24.700 you

00:24:25.740 may

00:24:25.920 still

00:24:26.160 get

00:24:26.300 attacked

00:24:26.660 as

00:24:26.840 a

00:24:27.000 bigot

00:24:27.400 and

00:24:27.720 as

00:24:28.580 being

00:24:28.820 prejudiced

00:24:29.620 but

00:24:30.200 be

00:24:30.480 confident

00:24:31.000 you're

00:24:31.700 on

00:24:32.800 the

00:24:32.980 right

00:24:33.200 side

00:24:33.540 of

00:24:33.720 this

00:24:34.060 and

00:24:34.540 there

00:24:34.800 are

00:24:35.040 no

00:24:35.260 experts

00:24:35.860 out

00:24:36.160 there

00:24:36.480 that

00:24:37.320 know

00:24:37.540 more

00:24:37.900 about

00:24:38.300 your

00:24:38.500 kid

00:24:38.860 than

00:24:39.260 you

00:24:39.420 do

00:24:39.700 and

00:24:40.120 that

00:24:40.360 know

00:24:40.580 more

00:24:40.980 about

00:24:41.560 basic

00:24:42.600 biological

00:24:43.180 facts

00:24:43.840 and

00:24:44.040 reality

00:24:44.520 than

00:24:44.740 any

00:24:45.000 of

00:24:45.180 us

00:24:45.380 do

00:24:45.680 this

00:24:46.800 is

00:24:47.020 wrong

00:24:47.460 this

00:24:47.700 ideology

00:24:48.280 that's

00:24:48.740 being

00:24:48.900 pushed

00:24:49.260 on

00:24:49.500 kids

00:24:49.760 is

00:24:49.940 wrong

00:24:50.320 so

00:24:50.640 be

00:24:51.760 confident

00:24:52.400 in

00:24:53.240 how

00:24:53.420 you

00:24:53.600 interact

00:24:54.000 with

00:24:54.160 your

00:24:54.320 schools

00:24:54.820 when

00:24:55.700 you're

00:24:56.120 a

00:24:56.280 parent

00:24:56.560 and

00:24:56.880 know

00:24:57.460 that

00:24:57.800 we

00:24:58.840 are

00:24:59.060 seeing

00:24:59.640 changes

00:25:03.160 take

00:25:03.580 place

00:25:04.100 yes

00:25:05.020 there

00:25:05.620 are

00:25:05.760 blue

00:25:05.960 states

00:25:06.300 that

00:25:06.560 are

00:25:06.740 digging

00:25:07.080 their

00:25:07.340 heels

00:25:07.680 in

00:25:08.040 and

00:25:08.260 continuing

00:25:08.660 to

00:25:08.920 pass

00:25:09.180 laws

00:25:09.500 in

00:25:09.660 the

00:25:09.780 wrong

00:25:09.980 direction

00:25:10.480 but

00:25:11.640 there

00:25:12.100 are

00:25:12.300 just

00:25:12.560 as

00:25:12.740 many

00:25:12.960 pushbacks

00:25:13.640 going

00:25:13.960 on

00:25:14.420 in

00:25:15.020 the

00:25:15.200 public

00:25:15.540 and

00:25:16.240 in

00:25:16.800 government

00:25:18.120 agencies

00:25:18.720 so

00:25:19.260 I think

00:25:19.880 take

00:25:20.120 heart

00:25:20.400 we're

00:25:20.880 turning

00:25:21.740 the tide

00:25:22.100 on

00:25:22.260 this

00:25:22.540 absolutely

00:25:23.640 and

00:25:24.440 I

00:25:24.560 will

00:25:24.700 say

00:25:24.860 that

00:25:25.060 word

00:25:25.460 bigot

00:25:26.000 or 0.98

00:25:26.620 transphobe

00:25:27.460 it

00:25:28.080 just

00:25:28.260 doesn't

00:25:28.560 hold

00:25:28.780 the

00:25:28.940 same

00:25:29.160 weight

00:25:29.520 that

00:25:30.020 it

00:25:30.180 did

00:25:30.640 a

00:25:30.980 few

00:25:31.120 years

00:25:31.400 ago

00:25:31.740 that

00:25:32.940 word

00:25:33.280 has

00:25:33.540 been

00:25:33.960 really

00:25:35.160 devalued

00:25:36.740 and become

00:25:37.160 totally

00:25:37.620 meaningless

00:25:38.080 now

00:25:38.520 they will

00:25:38.880 call

00:25:39.160 you

00:25:39.480 I

00:25:39.700 mean

00:25:39.820 if

00:25:39.940 anything

00:25:40.320 if

00:25:40.640 anything

00:25:40.840 we've

00:25:41.040 learned

00:25:41.220 prior

00:25:41.520 to

00:25:41.940 November

00:25:42.940 5th

00:25:43.880 they

00:25:44.060 will

00:25:44.220 throw

00:25:44.500 any

00:25:44.880 insult

00:25:45.360 your

00:25:45.640 way

00:25:45.980 in

00:25:46.160 an

00:25:46.300 attempt

00:25:46.660 to

00:25:47.160 shout

00:25:48.000 you

00:25:48.160 down

00:25:48.700 in

00:25:48.980 an

00:25:49.100 attempt

00:25:49.440 to

00:25:49.920 lessen

00:25:50.920 any

00:25:51.260 sort

00:25:51.480 of

00:25:51.620 credibility

00:25:52.080 but

00:25:52.620 I

00:25:53.440 think
