Gaines for Girls with Riley Gaines - Rep. Kat Cammack on the Fight to Protect “Mother” and “Father” ｜ The Riley Gaines Show

00:00:00.200 You've been looking forward to this all week.

00:00:04.560 And with Cutwater's Cocktails, this took only seconds.

00:00:09.920 Because tonight's about catching up, not catching the server.

00:00:13.420 Whether it's our Cutwater Lime Margarita, Lemon Drop Martini, or Rum Mai Tai,

00:00:18.400 they're expertly mixed and ready before the snacks hit the table.

00:00:22.400 Cutwater, expertly mixed cocktails.

00:00:25.100 A perfect pairing for an evening with good company.

00:00:27.220 Please enjoy responsibly. Must be 19+.

00:00:30.000 You're not going to call breastfeeding moms chest feeders.

00:00:33.600 You're not going to call women who give birth gestating individuals.

00:00:37.860 I mean, that's just candidly, it's bull and no one has time for that.

00:00:45.680 Well, Congresswoman, thank you so much for joining the Riley Gaines show.

00:00:49.720 I am just super excited and very grateful for your time.

00:00:54.180 You have been someone who has just been a really fierce defender of common sense.

00:00:59.740 of women's rights, which we are reclaiming as the Republican Party. The other side,

00:01:05.640 they claim to be the party of and for women. I have come to learn that really couldn't be

00:01:11.140 further from the truth. I think the first thing I want to talk to you about really proves that

00:01:15.400 the governor of New York, Kathy Hochul, has a bill sitting on her desk right now that replaces

00:01:20.800 words, words like mother and father and parent itself, words that we have never ever struggled

00:01:28.400 to understand in the 250 years that America has been established, and certainly much longer than

00:01:33.760 that, replacing those words with more gender neutral terms, such as gestating parent when

00:01:40.880 referring to mothers and non-gestating parent when referring to fathers. I really can't think

00:01:47.440 of words or phrases or terminology that is more dehumanizing than gestating parent.

00:01:55.800 walk us through this my understanding is that the republicans women caucus

00:01:59.580 sent a letter to the governor walk us through this and your thoughts here

00:02:03.840 we get word that the the state of new york is actually through legislative efforts looking to

00:02:11.420 pass legislation to erase moms and dads right crazy town type stuff and as chair of the republican

00:02:18.660 women's caucus i'm like all right let's just monitor this surely there are moms and dads

00:02:23.580 serving in the legislature that will find this deeply offensive, regardless of whether you're

00:02:27.340 Republican or Democrat, right? Overwhelmingly, this bill passes both chambers of the New York

00:02:34.520 State House and Senate and makes its way to the governor's desk. And so Governor Kathy Hochul

00:02:41.340 has this sitting on her desk ready to sign and effectively would erase from any government

00:02:48.900 entity, the term mother and father, and replaced with gestating and non-gestating parent. And

00:02:57.320 you and I are both new moms. Our babies are about a month apart. And as first-time moms,

00:03:04.280 you really start to understand how very special motherhood is and how it really fundamentally

00:03:13.280 changes your whole worldview, your life, everything about you. And it's the most

00:03:20.260 precious experience in my viewpoint. And here we see a government entity seeking to remove

00:03:27.520 that unique relationship by stripping the titles. And this is so 1984, where they want to change

00:03:35.760 the language to fit the agenda. And I think what it comes down to is this is coming from the same

00:03:44.000 party, right? The ultra radical left that says they don't know what a woman is. And then they

00:03:50.500 say, well, now we have to be in an effort to be inclusive. We have to put men in women's locker 1.00

00:03:55.100 rooms. And nobody knows that issue better than you, Riley. I mean, you've been the lead of 1.00

00:04:00.160 championing women's sports and spaces and protecting girls and women. And then they're

00:04:06.560 saying, oh, no, no, it's just not the war on women that we're going after. Now we're going after

00:04:10.160 motherhood, right? They call us chess feeders, which is just the most insulting thing in the

00:04:15.080 world. And now they are just outright trying to get rid of mother and father. And it took me a

00:04:22.460 minute to really try to understand where this is deriving from. And I really have come to the

00:04:31.480 conclusion that, and we see this in the elections, right, in New York, where you have these democratic

00:04:36.440 socialists getting elected, but then the leadership of that movement saying the quiet part out loud of

00:04:42.500 the goal has never been socialism, it's always communism. When you look at communist regimes,

00:04:48.920 there is always an effort culturally to erode the individuality of a person and the independence

00:04:57.720 of a family unit because they want families and people to be dependent on government and what

00:05:03.420 better way to do that than to strip the most meaningful titles that we have within our family

00:05:08.400 of mother and father and um so right now we think that this could be the test case for other

00:05:16.980 radical states like New York to employ, to start really pushing the dependency and control agenda.

00:05:25.320 And I know that sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory, but it's really not. I mean, we're

00:05:28.620 watching this in real time. No, it's not at all. I was actually just chatting with

00:05:33.280 one of your colleagues, Congressman McGuire, about the welfare programs that exist and are

00:05:40.080 funded by taxpayer dollars. And I think 16 or 17 welfare programs, so think SNAPs, EBTs,

00:05:46.620 those types of things, they basically penalize you if you are married. They're encouraging 1.00

00:05:52.320 single-parent homes. So it does, it maybe sounds like, you know, tinfoil hat crazy conspiracies,

00:05:58.980 but it's really not at all. That's absolutely the direction that we're going. And it is totally,

00:06:04.800 if you can approach it with an unbiased view and understanding history at the same time,

00:06:09.960 you do recognize it as an attack on the nuclear family. And you're right. I mean,

00:06:14.960 menstruator and chest feeder and bleeder and birthing person and, and gestating parent.

00:06:21.020 I actually saw where the governor of Wisconsin, Governor Evers attempted to in their state

00:06:26.060 statute, changed the word mother to inseminated persons, inseminated person. That's like, I don't

00:06:33.480 even refer to like my, my cattle, the animals that we have in the yard who are inseminated,

00:06:38.460 who are, you know, with, with carrying calves and foals. I don't even refer to them as inseminated

00:06:43.880 beings, because that is absolutely absurd thing to say. When I read that, I immediately thought of

00:06:49.900 maybe families who don't conceive the natural way, or maybe they don't have children by the

00:06:55.980 natural way. I thought of adoptive families or step-moms even. Are they harmed in this verbiage

00:07:03.160 in an attempt to be inclusive? Are they excluded here? Absolutely. Because I mean, can you imagine,

00:07:09.080 And in our letter, we talk about, you know, families that adopt. And I immediately thought about this sign that I gave to my mom when I was a little kid for Mother's Day.

00:07:24.020 And it was, I'm paraphrasing here, but basically something along the lines of, you know, it takes someone very special to be a mom, right? The term mom. And of course, the beauty of, you know, carrying your own child and whatnot, it is, like I said, a life changing experience.

00:07:41.780 but there are a lot of people who are wonderful people who are in fact mothers that adopt beautiful

00:07:48.740 children. And in my mind, that doesn't make them any less of a mother. They are caring for this

00:07:55.380 individual. They're caring for this child. And when you take away, like I said, you start eroding

00:08:00.960 the family unit. You're really starting to pull people away and make them dependent and force

00:08:08.180 them onto something else. I think that we are watching in real time and effort to co-opt our

00:08:13.740 traditional culture and our traditional norms in an attempt to really make a political move here.

00:08:22.980 And to me, that's really scary because so many people are like, oh no, that's crazy. Well,

00:08:28.140 a lot of crazy things have happened and people get busy with their lives and I get it. But if

00:08:34.800 we don't stand up and say, no, that's not okay. You're not taking away, you know, you're not

00:08:40.200 going to take away women's sports. You're not going to put men in our locker rooms. You're 1.00

00:08:43.380 not going to call, you know, breastfeeding moms, chest feeders. You're not going to, uh, call,

00:08:49.960 call women who give birth gestating, uh, individuals. I mean, that's just candidly,

00:08:55.560 it's bullshit and no one has time for that. No. Yeah. I think adoption and, and, you know, 0.99

00:09:02.780 if you can foster children. I think it's one of the most beautiful and selfless ministries that

00:09:07.800 you could possibly engage in. So I'm right there with you. Speaking of communism and kind of this

00:09:16.080 rise of socialism that we've seen in the U.S. specifically among those who are attempting to

00:09:21.800 be elected officials, what do you make of it? We've seen like the democratic socialists of

00:09:26.980 America and kind of the influence they've had. I think I've been watching it in the state of

00:09:30.460 Colorado. What do you make of that? Is that a pretty grave concern? And do you think it will

00:09:35.560 spread across the US? Yes. Short answer. Yes. I mean, um, I, many people know I'm a Colorado native

00:09:44.720 and when I was growing up, you know, Colorado was very much a Western state. I rodeoed my whole life

00:09:51.460 and we, we subscribed to what is known as the code of the West. Right. Um, and it was just this,

00:09:58.940 ideals. It was really about American ideals of helping your neighbor, helping yourself,

00:10:06.760 independence, treating people fairly and right. And now I look at where Colorado has gone. It's

00:10:15.400 a complete 180. And I don't recognize my home state anymore, where you have people who are

00:10:23.380 openly espousing communist ideals. And I think that there's this bit of a romanticism that

00:10:30.640 people have of what it is and what it isn't. And you talk to anyone who has fled a socialist or

00:10:36.920 communist country like Russia, like Venezuela, like Cuba, you ask them and they will tell you

00:10:44.880 with tears in their eyes how it destroyed not only their country, their community, and their family,

00:10:51.120 um but the horrors that they have seen and witnessed as an experience of this attempt right

00:10:57.300 um to to force this type of system that is beautiful they think they say it's beautiful

00:11:08.420 on paper um i don't see anything beautiful about it um where you are taking and redistributing

00:11:15.820 and then forcing people to do things that they don't want to do.

00:11:21.600 And when you see what's happening in Colorado with these candidates, they talk a great game.

00:11:28.780 But when it comes down to it, ultimately what they want to do is take from people who are producers

00:11:34.160 and they don't redistribute, right, to help people.

00:11:38.360 We know that from the experiment with the Biden administration.

00:11:42.940 Under the Biden administration, they wanted to tax. I mean, when Bernie Sanders himself is saying that the Inflation Reduction Act actually doesn't reduce inflation, that ought to tell you everything you need to know about this agenda.

00:11:55.400 it is all about growing the size and scope of government so that we the people are dependent

00:12:02.880 on government for everything and then those that are in power they stay in control because once

00:12:10.060 people are dependent on you for something they're not going to vote against their own self-interest

00:12:14.260 right which is why we're at this this moment in time this precipice of having to really define

00:12:20.700 what the next 250 years of America is going to look like and make sure that our generation is

00:12:25.480 in the fight. You talked a little bit about how trying to engage women has been a really,

00:12:30.640 really tough thing for our party. It is. It is. And that's in large part why I'm doing what I'm

00:12:35.980 doing and what you're doing is so important. Heck yeah. Yeah. And talking about specifically

00:12:42.420 the Biden administration and the communist tendencies that we saw there, I don't even

00:12:48.900 think we have to go back that far look at what mom donnie tweeted last week and saying you know

00:12:52.880 make sure you turn your thermostat to 78 degrees so we can keep the grid you know uh under control

00:12:58.760 excuse me no one is telling me what temperature to keep my house at so long as i pay my electricity

00:13:05.080 bill and certainly i'm not putting it to nearly 80 degrees in the middle of july that's why people

00:13:11.140 from states like new york and california and and the usual bad actors are fleeing to states like

00:13:17.380 yours and mine. Do you feel like in your home state of Florida, there has been an exodus of

00:13:25.880 people from those states now fleeing to the free state of Florida? Oh my gosh. Yes. And I thought

00:13:32.800 it was so crazy when he tweeted that, you know, like, oh, keep your temperature, your thermostat

00:13:36.620 78 um okay commie um you can come take my ac from uh my nice and my nice and um chill 68 degree

00:13:47.780 yeah i turned my thermostat one degree colder when i saw that tweet and i thought to myself

00:13:52.920 again you he mentioned the grid and that's the reason why they're doing this but also there's

00:13:56.600 this big movement to get everyone on electric cars i'm like come on at least at least attempt

00:14:02.840 to make sense you know they can't and they anytime that you call them out on their contradictions or

00:14:09.580 their hypocrisy um of course they turn around and they call you names right you're either you're 0.98

00:14:14.620 some sort of an ist you're a racist right or a sexist or you're some ist and and it's again 0.99

00:14:21.080 they just the facts are never on their side the truth will never be on their side and all they 0.92

00:14:25.840 have to resort to is just the name calling right and and the bullying it's so crazy but to your

00:14:31.460 question about do we see the mass exodus oh my god yeah summer is here and if you want to actually

00:14:38.000 feel confident if you want to feel less bloated and energized not just look at on the outside it

00:14:43.260 starts with your gut i thought being bloated every day was just kind of normal turns out it's really

00:14:49.240 not once i fix my gut everything changed i'm talking my digestion my skin my hair and the

00:14:55.200 one thing that made the biggest difference for me it was cowboy colostrum which actually just

00:14:59.900 dropped a brand new flavor. It is cookies and cream. I am obsessed with it. Cowboy colostrum,

00:15:05.820 they offer the highest quality bovine colostrum available in the US. It is 100% made in America 1.00

00:15:11.160 from 100% American grass fed cows. I love it. Unlike other colostrum brands, cowboy is first

00:15:18.620 day whole colostrum, rich in bioactives like immunoglobulins and growth factors. Don't worry,

00:15:24.680 cowboy colostrum only collects the surplus colostrum after baby calves have had their

00:15:28.960 first fill. Cowboy colostrum is not processed. It is not stripped down. Their colostrum is whole,

00:15:34.540 full fat, which is actually a good thing. It's very high in protein for ultimate nutrient density,

00:15:40.180 making it the highest quality bovine colostrum that you can buy. No artificial flavors, no fillers,

00:15:45.560 just real whole ingredients. And they just launched their most indulgent flavor yet,

00:15:50.820 cookies and cream mixed with milk. This tastes like a nostalgic cookies and cream milkshake,

00:15:55.260 but it's the same whole unshipped colostrum, no fillers or shortcuts. It's become an effortless

00:16:00.580 part of my daily routine. I have it every single morning. I pack it when I travel and I throw it

00:16:06.220 in smoothies or mix it in milk, or even sometimes I make it in cold foam in my coffee. It is a treat

00:16:11.680 that actually fits into my day and my whole health goals. So try the new cookies and cream flavor for

00:16:17.580 yourself for a limited time. Our listeners, the viewers of the rally game show get up to a 25%

00:16:45.420 sharing this story publicly. I don't want you to rehash everything because I can only imagine how

00:16:52.620 scary and traumatic and difficult it is to go through a season of life like that. But I have

00:17:00.040 seen where your experience has been totally misconstrued online. Can you talk about why

00:17:07.600 you maybe decided to share this story publicly and what the response has been since? Yeah, no.

00:17:13.980 Um, so a couple of years ago, um, I experienced a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy, um,

00:17:22.080 which is a non-viable pregnancy.

00:17:24.700 Um, it's, it's, it's where the, it's where the baby doesn't, just doesn't quite make

00:17:30.280 it over, um, through the tubes.

00:17:32.100 And, um, mine was, um, an interstitial, which is right, right at the corner, um, which is

00:17:39.420 a very vascular area of the body where what happens is the baby typically grows because

00:17:45.440 you're producing these HCG hormones and it eventually ruptures and it causes internal

00:17:50.760 bleeding and it's life-threatening for the mom. The baby never survives. And one of the things

00:17:57.900 that happened was I woke up one morning, I was hemorrhaging and found out I was pregnant,

00:18:03.460 immediately thought I was miscarrying. And it took the doctors about 10 days to figure out,

00:18:07.120 oh, you have, you're, you're experiencing an ectopic. Um, my, my doctors could not find a

00:18:14.160 heartbeat. Um, and they were very, very concerned, um, that I was very close to bleeding out just

00:18:24.040 internal bleeding. And so this was about 30 days, give or take from when the Florida heartbeat law

00:18:32.720 had taken effect and gone into effect, which is a six-week heartbeat ban on abortion. And of

00:18:43.000 course, like every state in the union, there is exceptions for life of the mother, incest, and

00:18:49.960 rape. And there was also clarifying language that said that miscarriages and ectopics do not

00:18:57.640 qualify as abortions. But the abortion lobby, the pro-abortion lobby, and those activists,

00:19:06.000 they have basically banked their entire agenda on misleading women and scaring women and doctors

00:19:17.880 and healthcare professionals into believing that treatment, DNCs and treatment for ectopics,

00:19:24.720 the methotrexate, that that is an abortion. Even Planned Parenthood has acknowledged,

00:19:30.820 no, it's not an abortion. And so I was in the ER. Doctors, they hesitated to treat me because

00:19:37.240 they were like, well, we're getting these advertisements. Literally, a nurse showed

00:19:41.900 me on her phone an advertisement from a pro-abortion lobbying group that said that doctors

00:19:46.740 and nurses could lose their licenses and face prosecution if they helped women who were

00:19:52.440 experiencing miscarriages or ectopics. And it was that fear that they had from these

00:19:58.980 advertisements that we found out much later. They were from these abortion groups. They had

00:20:06.100 been geofencing these ads around hospitals and doctor's offices to scare them because they

00:20:13.080 wanted to try to keep the issue of miscarriages and ectopics in the same conversation as elective

00:20:22.020 abortions, you know, terminating healthy babies for no medical reason. And I remember sitting

00:20:30.440 there and just stunned. Like I was sitting there in the room, reading the law off of my phone

00:20:37.740 to the doctors. And so I tell this story because I kept telling my husband and my husband throughout

00:20:44.780 this whole experience, we kept going back and forth saying like, what happens to the women

00:20:48.820 who don't have a doctor to call or maybe they're alone and scared to death? What happens to a 0.96

00:20:57.460 woman who doesn't have the means to get to a hospital? There were all these questions around

00:21:03.560 really broadly women's healthcare and access. And the thing that has always been so frustrating to

00:21:09.180 me is that politics have always tend to boil down women's issues to one issue, and that's abortion. 0.97

00:21:17.120 they treat us like morons like we're single issue voters and we're not and um as someone who's pro 0.96

00:21:24.760 life i find that deeply offensive that one they treat abortion as though it's health care it is 0.98

00:21:30.400 not um i don't care if you're talking to the american medical association or um the association

00:21:37.560 for ob gyns or hell even take planned parenthood none of these organizations

00:21:44.180 them or the law have ever classified treatment for miscarriages and ectopics as abortions ever

00:21:51.180 and and and so i come out and i tell this story because i wanted women to feel one not alone

00:21:59.960 because i felt like there was a lot of women who were going through similar situations but scared

00:22:05.620 to speak out for fear of the retaliation they would get and um i got that retaliation in spades

00:22:12.840 I mean, death threats galore. You can't even imagine the death threats. And recently I was

00:22:18.940 on a podcast and the reporter kind of threw me a curveball, asked me to share the story.

00:22:22.780 I wasn't prepared to really talk about it, but I'm kind of a brutally honest,

00:22:26.880 hard on my sleeve type person. And I was like, you know, sure, I'll talk about it.

00:22:30.060 And I did. And I was I was brutally honest about it. And she didn't like she didn't like my answers.

00:22:34.480 She didn't like I think she didn't like the fact that I was calling out the pro-abortion lobby and

00:22:42.540 and how they have hurt women. Um, and, and I think that story needs to be told because even just

00:22:49.500 today, um, I heard from a woman who said, um, she had a, the same type of a topic pregnancy,

00:22:57.560 she's pro-life and she feels like she can't talk about it for fear of retaliation. And it's because

00:23:05.220 we've lost the narrative on this. We've lost, um, our voice on this. And I think it's time

00:23:11.460 that we take it back. A hundred percent. So how do we do that? Is there like legislation that can,

00:23:19.040 can be passed? Maybe that's too kind of in the weeds. Do we do that culturally? Like what are

00:23:24.860 some of the actionable ways that, that we can reclaim the narrative? Because I'm, I mean,

00:23:30.600 I'm right there with you. Like it's so frustrating for women's healthcare, which there, there could

00:23:36.380 be strides to be made and innovation and all of these incredible things that have been done in

00:23:42.740 recent years and still need to be done for women's health care. It's so frustrating that women's 1.00

00:23:47.620 health care is reduced down to abortion, which, as you so eloquently put, is really not health care

00:23:53.520 at all. Actually, that's like death. Before you knew what a stock was, you traded snacks,

00:23:59.680 cards, turns. That instinct to trade didn't disappear. It just grew up with no minimums,

00:24:05.780 no monthly fees and 100 free trades, TD Easy Trade taps into that instinct because you are

00:24:11.580 made to trade and TD Easy Trade is made to help care. I don't know, like it's not health care.

00:24:18.080 So what needs to be done to reclaim that narrative to make actual strides for actual women's health

00:24:24.580 care? There's so there's so much in this. I mean, on on this issue in particular,

00:24:31.660 Um, we actually put out a resolution talk and named it truth, um, truth in women's and healthcare, um, because the fact remains that there is a narrative out there that, um, we've just been, uh, we have not been successful.

00:24:49.440 We, I would say people in the pro-life community, we've really tried to push back against it.

00:24:54.340 And when you take away and just I would say just from a very objective standpoint, take away the pro-life, pro-abortion sides.

00:25:04.060 And if if we were to look at this and say, OK, women who are experiencing miscarriages or women who experience ectopic pregnancies, they have to seek care.

00:25:15.020 Right. And in a miscarriage, the baby has has tragically passed an ectopic.

00:25:19.580 the baby never survives. In my case, my baby had passed. No woman is choosing that. No woman is

00:25:29.320 actively choosing that, right? When you have someone who makes the choice to terminate a 1.00

00:25:35.000 perfectly healthy baby and is ending someone's life, an active heartbeat, try selling that

00:25:45.080 versus selling we're we're protecting women and and and they can't they can't sell murder so what

00:25:53.380 they have to sell is this is health care and what they're really saying is they're just trying to

00:25:59.060 wrap it all up because if we actually reclaim the the truth on this and it is a fact it is an

00:26:04.620 absolute fact that those two miscarriages and ectopics they're not abortions once people start

00:26:10.920 recognizing that they're gonna be like, wait a minute, this is barbaric over here. This is

00:26:15.940 unconscionable. This is what they can't, they cannot stand on that agenda. So that's why they

00:26:24.400 are so fiercely trying to keep, um, the, the idea that, that women are getting abortions or seeking

00:26:32.740 abortion healthcare when they're going in for a DNC. And it couldn't be further from the truth.

00:26:39.280 I mean, from the scientific community, from the medical community, from the legal standpoint, could not be further from the truth.

00:26:45.140 And there's not one person who has been able to come to me and say, oh, in this state, life of the mother, right, is not covered.

00:26:55.300 It's they're just full of it.

00:26:57.420 And so I think they've got a multimillion dollar agenda at risk if we win in this in this battle.

00:27:07.660 And if it means us saving, um, babies by taking arrows and standing up and saying, you know,

00:27:16.120 and telling our stories all day, every day, all day, every day, I would take, I would

00:27:20.740 take those arrows because it's worth it.

00:27:23.340 It is so worth it.

00:27:24.920 That's amazing.

00:27:25.500 And yeah, they're, they're not attempting to protect women, certainly not the baby.

00:27:30.440 Uh, really what they're doing is they're preying on women.

00:27:32.680 They're preying on women who are oftentimes those who are seeking out abortions are oftentimes

00:27:37.460 vulnerable and insecure. Oftentimes they come with, with trauma, they're broken and battered

00:27:43.600 and bruised. And they come from, from, uh, again, speaking statistically pretty, pretty horrific

00:27:49.100 backgrounds and they're preying on that. Uh, they're not protecting those women. Last thing

00:27:54.440 for you. Um, I want to get your, I just thought of this and talking about this, this conversation

00:27:58.820 centered around women and what we can do as, as, you know, principled conservatives to help bring

00:28:03.920 those young women along and of course i think of president trump who has repeatedly been labeled as

00:28:08.960 a misogynist by the democrats you of course you know president trump you know him well you work

00:28:15.500 very closely with him does that characterization match the person that you know visit bet mdm

00:28:47.100 operating agreement with iGaming Ontario oh my gosh no no um I that's why whenever I that is

00:28:57.560 actually something I get asked a lot from people, um, particularly skeptical people, maybe, you know,

00:29:03.160 like independence. Um, they're like, what is he really like? Like he's hilarious. He is exactly

00:29:09.420 what you see, right? He is exactly what you see. He does not, he's not one person on TV and then

00:29:15.720 a different person behind closed doors. He's the same person, no matter where he is, no matter who

00:29:21.040 he's with. He is exactly the same. And I think that's exceptionally rare, particularly in

00:29:28.580 politics is people will present as a front, you know, one, one persona and then behind closed

00:29:34.780 doors, they're totally different. Um, the president is a hundred percent genuine and authentic,

00:29:39.820 no matter where he is, no matter who he's with. And I appreciate that. And I can tell you, um,

00:29:45.480 one of the smartest people I know, um, whether we're having a six hour dinner or he's giving

00:29:52.500 a speech or, you know, it doesn't matter the setting he's, he's just so sharp and witty.

00:29:58.120 And, and the thing that always surprise surprises people, as I say, he's wickedly funny. Like he's,

00:30:04.980 he's very, very funny. And, um, unfortunately people today, um, they, they seem to have lost

00:30:11.960 their sense of humor. Um, but I think that that's a big, a big reason why you have so many people

00:30:19.060 who have, who've come out of the woodwork, um, to support the America first movement, right.

00:30:25.020 Is because they actually appreciated somebody who didn't take themselves too seriously and

00:30:29.800 somebody who was real and genuine. And who cares deeply about America. Um, I was watching the,

00:30:37.180 the fireworks uh live from washington dc on the 4th watching them just for my home in tennessee on

00:30:43.380 on fox news and it was amazing to me because there's what around 10 30 my time which was

00:30:49.760 11 30 in washington dc and you have the president who i mean objectively is old right not meant to

00:30:55.520 be hurtful or mean or disrespectful like that's i mean 80 years old it's pretty old right he's

00:31:00.940 standing up there like the stamina of of a workhorse like just doesn't appear tired at all

00:31:08.180 everyone who's close with him says he never sleeps he just goes and goes and he loves america and he

00:31:12.920 loves americans the people who live here uh and it's really cool to see and to live in a country

00:31:18.960 um that is led by by that type of person so and and people like you who fight for that that very

00:31:27.480 agenda, uh, that president Trump campaigned on that he has done every, everything in his power

00:31:32.320 to, to implement, um, you guys who are working to write alongside the president. And so thank you

00:31:39.900 Congresswoman for everything. And for, for sharing your story too, uh, not just to me, but as I've

00:31:45.040 seen online, because, um, it's helpful. It's helpful in combating some of the narratives

00:31:49.720 because oftentimes if I'm being honest, I don't really know the best way to, to lead on, on the

00:31:55.660 messaging front or to bring young women along. But when I see women like you and your bravery,

00:32:00.800 it helps. It gives me cover. So thank you. That means a lot. And I really do think we 0.72

00:32:07.780 have something special, particularly with our generation. And there's things of the way that

00:32:15.440 we came up and we grew up and cultural things that we experienced. I was joking with someone,

00:32:21.260 actually the gas station the other day, this lady literally just met her and we were probably around

00:32:27.120 the same age. And I started laughing. I said, yeah, I can't get rid of these. And it's because

00:32:30.920 every time juvenile comes on and y'all know the song, you know, the song, you hear the intro to 0.89

00:32:36.120 it and you, that stank face just comes on, right? You can't help it. And we started laughing and it 0.82

00:32:41.640 was almost like we'd known each other for years, but it's like, there's just things that bind us

00:32:45.700 together. And that's, what's so special. That's what we have to protect. And, you know, I want

00:32:49.360 my daughter and your daughter to have that really cool cultural experience of being an American

00:32:54.740 and knowing that they can do whatever they want in their life because they have a country that

00:33:00.500 has afforded them equal opportunity rather than equal outcome. And so at the end of the day,

00:33:06.500 everything we do, it's for them, for those little girls and little boys. And I'm just really

00:33:13.300 grateful for everything that you've done and standing up and taking the arrows as well, 0.96

00:33:16.680 because I know you get a lot of crap and you know what? 0.95

00:33:20.760 You got broad shoulders, girl. 0.99

00:33:22.380 Bring it on. 1.00

00:33:23.320 Bring it on.

00:33:24.500 And when you share the arrows, it makes it easier, right?

00:33:28.320 So that's the clarion call for everyone is be bold and be courageous and share the arrows

00:33:33.300 because it makes them hurt a little less when you got people doing it with you.

00:33:37.300 So thank you, Congresswoman.

00:33:39.000 Absolutely.
