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.

00:04:07.680 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
00:22:10.860 special

00:22:18.260 bit

00:22:40.640 appalled
00:22:41.140 by
00:22:41.340 the
00:22:41.500 problems
00:22:42.060 that
00:22:42.460 the
00:22:42.860 Biden
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
00:22:46.460 recalcitrance
00:22:47.620 of

00:22:48.660 leaders
00:22:49.080 going

00:22:52.920 together
00:22:53.660 in a
00:22:54.100 way

00:22:54.400 we
00:22:54.500 just
00:22:54.940 haven't
00:22:55.200 done
00:22:55.420 before
00:22:55.840 so
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
00:22:59.220 in a
00:23:00.560 more
00:23:01.060 expedited
00:23:01.920 and

00:23:10.400 it's
00:23:10.840 had
00:23:11.160 a great
00:23:11.840 impact
00:23:12.360 so far
00:23:13.260 because

00:23:14.680 things
00:23:15.000 on a
00:23:15.400 statewide
00:23:16.120 level
00:23:16.800 and

00:23:37.500 that's
00:23:37.860 incredible

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

00:23:41.640 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
00:24:13.760 will
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
00:24:17.860 I
00:24:18.000 don't
00:24:18.240 want

00:24:18.780 daughter
00:24:19.120 sleeping
00:24:19.640 overnight
00:24:20.160 on
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
00:25:53.600 the
00:25:53.960 American
00:25:54.240 people
00:25:54.600 see
