Make sure to share these episodes far and wide because it really does help.
00:00:42.460 So a few a few weeks ago, we had a conversation with Kim Jones surrounding the NCAA policy and their qualifications of sex, which, of course, was a birth certificate, which is a paper document that can be made fraudulent or could simply have a mistake.
00:00:58.220 Today, we're going to be talking about something similar, but it's a piece of legislation introduced by a representative in Congress called the Passport Sanity Act.
00:01:07.100 This was introduced by Representative Chip Roy. He says here, he says, radical gender ideology must be eliminated from every facet of the American government, root and branch.
00:01:17.360 Passports exist to protect our national security by verifying the identity of those who exit and reenter our country. 0.87
00:01:23.400 And that is why they need to be grounded in reality. They are not a political delivery system to push a false notion that goes against the fact that there are only two genders in existence.
00:01:33.780 And those, of course, are male and female. So very, very excited for this conversation here.
00:01:39.640 Again, this policy sounds a lot like the executive order that President Trump signed declaring there are only two sexes.
00:01:45.020 So watch this episode here with Congressman Chip Roy.
00:01:48.920 Well, Congressman Roy, thank you for joining the Games for Girls podcast.
00:01:52.620 I wanted to talk to you today about this new piece of legislation that you have recently reintroduced, the Passport Sanity Act, aiming to remove radical gender ideology from U.S. passports.
00:02:05.060 So just take a second and elaborate on the specific changes of this legislative proposal.
00:02:11.100 Yeah, well, first of all, I'm not sure how your head doesn't explode when you're out speaking about all these things,
00:02:15.900 when you actually have to use the words like radical gender ideology with passports, right?
00:02:20.740 Like if you ever just like put that in perspective, do you think about where we are as a society? 0.93
00:02:25.320 That's where we stand, which is absolutely ridiculous.
00:02:27.360 But also thank you for all you've done on this issue and continue to do as a proud father of both a son and a daughter.
00:02:33.760 I appreciate what you're doing for them and that sanity.
00:02:39.020 Yeah, the passport issue.
00:02:40.980 So last year, maybe the year before, I introduced legislation with J.D. Vance, of all people.
00:02:47.180 J.D. was in the Senate at the time, of course, to do the radical notion that our passport should basically just have male, female, man, woman, the biological reality.
00:02:58.480 And so we introduced legislation to do that because, you know, the Biden administration was trying to make our passports into a, you know, social remake experiment.
00:03:07.860 And and we introduced that legislation.
00:03:09.960 And of course, God bless President Trump and one of the eight bajillion executive orders that he's carried out, along with Marco Rubio, implementing it over in the State Department.
00:03:19.620 They're now doing that with respect to passports.
00:03:22.300 But we have the legislation that I reintroduced, the one that I did with J.D. last Congress that would make it permanent.
00:03:28.140 Right. We in Congress need to make this stuff permanent.
00:03:30.140 So a future Biden administration can't make these ridiculous policies a nightmare again.
00:03:36.100 That's it. That's it. 0.94
00:03:37.440 And that's something that I've really, really tried to communicate with people, because I think your average American, maybe your average conservative,
00:03:45.220 they see President Trump in office and they see all of these executive orders being signed and they kind of wipe their hands and think, look, the war on woke has been won.
00:03:53.220 It's done. But you're exactly right.
00:03:54.900 We need to get things through both legislative chambers.
00:03:57.320 And it certainly does not absolve the states of doing what they need to do and can be overturned.
00:04:02.180 These executive orders, they can be overturned just as quickly as they were put in place.
00:04:06.640 And to your point, my head does want to explode all of the time in engaging in these conversations.
00:04:13.560 I always I've wanted to ask those people who disagree with the fact that there are only two sexes.
00:04:19.100 What are the other ones?
00:04:21.600 In your statement, you mentioned that passports should be grounded in reality, duh, and not serve as political delivery systems.
00:04:31.100 And so in 2022, we'll introduce this. Why did you believe it was necessary?
00:04:36.940 And again, to revisit it now.
00:04:39.620 Well, I mean, importantly, we called it the Passport Sanity Act because it is, in fact, insane to do otherwise.
00:04:46.140 But to your point, and now a moment of seriousness, and this is a serious issue.
00:04:50.820 Passports are critical with respect to our identification and who we are.
00:04:55.420 And it matters, obviously, for going overseas and coming in and out of our country.
00:04:59.920 But we allow passports to be used, obviously, for voting and for all manners of identification.
00:05:05.160 And when you start trying to turn this into essentially, like I said, a social engineering experiment, then you devalue everything it means to identify who we are.
00:05:13.520 And you start politicizing the very basic services of government, which we shouldn't do.
00:05:19.460 Government should be serving a very tight, focused function and do it effectively and efficiently.
00:05:24.560 Right. I mean, that's kind of what Doge ultimately should be about.
00:05:28.240 Government constitution is supposed to be focused on securing the country, doing the basics.
00:05:33.120 Our state, you know, government, roads and schools and cops and, you know, making sure you got emergency services.
00:05:41.620 And this is turning everything upside down.
00:05:44.300 So we want to get things back to basics. Right.
00:05:46.140 I mean, President Trump said it well when he said common sense.
00:05:48.620 That's what we want. We want common sense restored.
00:05:51.360 That's why it's called the Passport Sanity Act.
00:05:53.200 It matters that we're able to identify people directly as who they are and not transform everything we do in government to, you know, some sort of small group at Harvard or Yale or something.
00:06:04.960 That's right. And we see what happens when you can change your passport, because actually a prime example of this and relating it to the issue that I find myself speaking about most,
00:06:14.500 as the issue of men and women's sports, because a male was allowed to to fraudulently change his passport, a man was able to get in the boxing ring at the Olympics, the pinnacle of sport, and win an Olympic gold medal.
00:06:31.140 Same thing with this new NCAA policy that has been now released.
00:06:35.800 NCAA President Charlie Baker claiming to get in line with President Trump's really beautifully and thoroughly written executive order.
00:06:42.540 But of course, this policy, it resorts back to birth certificates, which same thing, they can be made fraudulent or honestly could have mistakes on them.
00:06:51.400 I actually have a friend, one of my dear friends.
00:06:54.940 He has a passport that says female on it because his doctor at birth literally just made a mistake in writing his passport.
00:07:03.080 So absolutely. And you just mentioned something like that.
00:07:06.700 I'm sure all of his buddies have had a lot of fun with that one over the years, because I certainly would have one of my, you know, I was a couple of college sports.
00:07:14.760 We would have had a lot of fun with that one.
00:07:16.560 But look, you know, it's really actually important, this this this whole notion.
00:07:21.560 And and, you know, people brush it aside like it's just a choice.
00:07:24.900 But if you boil our official documents down to choice, then we have nothing left.
00:07:29.180 The rule of law becomes effectively meaningless.
00:07:31.340 And that part about the NCAA, I couldn't agree more.
00:07:33.620 I mean, as somebody, again, who was involved with NCAA athletics, you know, the NCAA has never met a woke direction.
00:07:41.940 It doesn't want to go or a fight they don't want to avoid if it means standing up to do the right thing.
00:07:46.920 So, of course, they want to be able to hide behind the president's executive order and say, oh, yeah, we're doing it, too.
00:07:51.200 But then leave the door open wide open for continued abuse and discretion by universities which are not paragon of common sense.
00:07:58.280 And so we need to have some leadership there.
00:08:00.320 Maybe they should focus on fixing the disaster that is NIL, but I'll save that for a different podcast.
00:08:05.440 No, it's it's so true.
00:08:06.940 And actually, your your home state, Texas, Attorney General Ken Paxson was the first attorney general to ultimately issue a temporary injunction to the NCAA to prevent this policy from taking place.
00:08:19.440 So we appreciate his leadership. You've been one of the few, Congressman Roy, who is willing to to criticize both parties at times, which I admire.
00:08:31.040 I think that is raw. I think it is is certainly needed.
00:08:34.420 What do you think needs to change within the Republican Party for it to to better serve Americans?
00:08:40.440 Well, I mean, of course, I can touch on a whole lot of different issues, but even within the realm of the space we're talking about here, Republicans need to lead and not be afraid.
00:08:49.680 You know, I've got a lot of colleagues who are in districts that are we'll call them tighter than mine.
00:08:53.640 Right. They're closer to even distribution distribution between Republican and Democrat.
00:08:57.860 I get the difficulty of elections.
00:08:59.680 My first two election cycles.
00:09:01.160 Remember, I represent Austin, Texas, which is a pretty liberal city, but I used to represent downtown Austin.
00:09:06.540 My district was about an R plus three or four district, meaning it was very competitive.
00:09:11.060 But I stuck to my guns. I was an outspoken conservative, a limited government conservative.
00:09:15.600 And you could go with. But you've got to have the willingness to go make the argument, make the case to people.
00:09:20.440 And that would be what I would argue Republicans need to do.
00:09:22.860 And on issues like this, you can't just shrug it off as like, oh, but those are social issues.
00:09:27.180 We shouldn't talk about them. Culture is who we are.
00:09:30.840 It's a reflection of who we are as a people.
00:09:32.580 When J.D. talks about immigration, for example, and you talk about who we are as a country and that we are, in fact, a sovereign nation and the rule of law matters, it's because that's true.
00:09:42.660 And if we can't stand up and defend the country, defend the people, defend that there is man and woman, defend that life is precious,
00:09:49.420 doesn't mean that there aren't circumstances that we all as Christians or, you know, people of faith generally don't look and say, hey, there's there's something there, an exception there or something we want to do to help somebody.
00:09:59.540 But as a rule, if we're not trying to stand up and protect innocent life, recognize common sense, build our communities around families, husbands and wives and and and and do the right thing, then why are we in this business?
00:10:12.320 So that's what my advice is to Republicans. Don't shy away from you want to reduce the deficit.
00:10:17.160 You're going to have to go cut some spending and have some hard conversations.
00:10:20.100 You want to save the country. You're going to have to take tough stances.
00:10:22.420 If you want a secure border, you're going to have to tell some people, no, that's just what it is like being a parent.
00:10:27.240 You just have to do it. You guys are parents.
00:10:29.540 To the rest of of Americans.
00:10:34.420 Last thing I want to ask you about, since I was just in your home state of Texas celebrating the introduction of HB3,
00:10:43.100 which relates to the establishment of an educational savings account, essentially a universal school choice bill.
00:10:49.960 Is this a good move for Texas and for Texas families?
00:10:55.040 Yeah, sure. I mean, that's an issue I feel pretty strongly about.
00:10:57.240 You know, I grew up going public school, K through law school.
00:11:00.800 I never went to a private school, but schools have changed.
00:11:03.620 And I want my kids to be able to go to a school where they can pray, where they can learn about God, where they can study classical education so they can go to a classical Christian school.
00:11:11.020 Now, we can muddle through. It hurts our budget to do it.
00:11:14.080 But we can muddle through. There's a lot of Americans who can't, but they're stuck in a school system that is against their values, against what they believe.
00:11:20.800 It may be failing academically. So, of course, we should take tax dollars and give parents the ability to have choice so their children can have the best shot and a good education.
00:11:29.240 So, HB3, that's a good, I think, closer to true universal choice bill.
00:11:35.100 There's a Senate bill in Texas, which I think is a step at least towards, you know, choice.
00:11:40.420 But I prefer the House approach of getting closer to universal choice.
00:11:43.780 I think it's important to have a broad approach to it, and it's important to shake things up.
00:11:48.060 We spend so much money in the public education establishment.
00:11:50.900 We give money to administrators, bureaucrats, the vice president of woke ideology, and we need to break all that down.
00:11:56.400 And competition is the best medicine and giving people the ability to go to a school that shares their value.
00:12:02.260 Agreed. Last thing, actually. What else are you working on at the moment?
00:12:07.040 Well, you may have heard we had this whole big dust up over the budget last night.
00:12:10.440 We passed a budget in the House and sent it over the Senate.
00:12:13.020 It's a step forward. I don't think it gets the job done fully.
00:12:15.600 We've got more work to do, but it does reduce spending and frees up some space for some tax cuts to make sure that we can make sure the American people are helped.
00:12:23.760 That's important. We've got to get Tom Homan the resources he needs to finish securing the border and to remove people who need to be removed.
00:12:30.580 But look, things are trending in the right directions, a direct consequence of the president and his leadership.
00:12:35.260 I just hope we can all kind of come together and get this budget done and finish the job.
00:12:39.120 So that's what we're focused on at the moment.
00:12:41.300 We'll see. Right.
00:12:42.460 Right. But now we, to your point, we finally have the ability to.
00:12:46.900 So it's what we do with it.
00:12:48.480 So we'll be we'll be watching.
00:12:50.300 We'll be cheering you on, as always, very grateful for you and for your friendship.
00:12:55.460 You're someone who who really I feel like I can look to for advice.
00:12:59.220 And I just admire you.
00:13:00.680 So thank you, Congressman Roy.
00:13:01.920 Well, the feeling is mutual.
00:13:03.180 Riley, you made a big difference.
00:13:04.340 And I know you didn't think you were going to be doing this a few years back when you were in Kentucky and you were swimming.
00:13:08.580 But, you know, now you're out there and you're leading and you're helping shape society.
00:13:11.600 And God has a plan for us.
00:13:12.680 You never know exactly what it is.
00:13:14.340 I didn't know I was going to have cancer 13 years ago and then get through it.
00:13:17.240 And then, you know, now have a chance to be in Congress.
00:13:19.500 And, you know, you just walk through the doors God opens for you.
00:13:22.020 And God bless you for doing it.
00:13:23.380 It's what you do.
00:13:24.140 It's all we can do as Christians.
00:13:25.620 So thank you.
