00:00:00.000 Welcome back to the Gainsborough Girls podcast. We are so glad that you are tuning in.
00:00:11.140 Make sure you like and subscribe anywhere where you get your podcasts. Be sure to check us out
00:00:15.860 at outkick.com. But in the meantime, we hope you enjoy today's interview with Congresswoman Mary
00:00:21.860 Miller. She's, of course, a Republican. She's from the state of Illinois. She has been a fearless
00:00:28.800 defender for women's sports, for women's rights to privacy and safety and equal opportunity,
00:00:36.320 along with several other issues. But her and I, we've had the opportunity and the pleasure to get
00:00:41.540 to know each other over these past two years or so. And she's just as wonderful in real life as
00:00:47.920 you will see she is on this interview. But recently, we've heard about Joe Biden's, the Department of
00:00:55.320 Education's, a legal administrative rewrite of Title IX. But Congresswoman Mary Miller and 67 0.94
00:01:03.040 other House Republicans, now I believe it's 70, but originally 67 other House Republicans
00:01:09.200 have said, no, this is what you've done here is not ethical. It's not right. This did not pass
00:01:15.920 through Congress. And so Congresswoman Mary Miller has introduced a Congressional Review Act to
00:01:21.800 ultimately overturn Joe Biden's rewrite of Title IX. This will be huge. It gives everyone, both
00:01:29.960 Republicans and Democrats, the opportunity to stand with women. They will be on record. They all already
00:01:36.000 have been. Originally, 219 Republicans voted in favor of protecting women and girls in sports. And all
00:01:42.460 203, every single last one of them, mothers and fathers of their own young daughters, all 203
00:01:48.540 Democrats voted in opposition of protecting women and girls in sports. And so I wanted to read very
00:01:54.520 briefly this statement from Representative Miller, following her announcement of her Congressional
00:02:00.840 Review Act. And she says, Joe Biden is undermining years of progress women have made in securing their
00:02:05.700 rights under Title IX. For more than half a century, Title IX has protected women and girls, ensuring they
00:02:10.540 have equal opportunities in education. However, the Biden administration is putting our girls at risk by
00:02:15.720 allowing men to access women and girls bathrooms and locker rooms. This divergence is a blatant
00:02:21.080 violation of the protections Title IX was meant to guarantee, and it undermines the very foundation
00:02:25.720 of women's rights and security in their private spaces. That sums it up. But nonetheless, be sure to 1.00
00:02:31.740 check out the interview here with Congresswoman Mary Miller. Well, Congresswoman Miller, thank you so
00:02:37.680 much for joining the Gains for Girls podcast. You and I have had the pleasure of being able to spend some
00:02:43.700 time together over these past two or so years fighting the fight. The fight I am referring to is the fight
00:02:50.540 to maintain and preserve women's sports. And so I just wanted to thank you first and foremost, and I wanted
00:02:57.640 to give you the opportunity to explain what's going on, what the Biden administration has done here, and
00:03:04.960 really why Title IX is important. Right. Well, first of all, I'd like to say that I'm the mom of five
00:03:11.320 daughters and 10 granddaughters. And this is just, it's ridiculous what's happening. On his first day
00:03:19.280 in office, Joe Biden signed executive orders to start pushing this transgender agenda on our society
00:03:28.600 through Title IX. And Title IX in 1972 was implemented to ensure equal opportunities in education for girls and
00:03:38.840 women. And that would mean scholarship opportunities and opportunities in athletics, you know, as well 0.75
00:03:46.300 as all, you know, educational opportunities. So, you know, here we are humming along fine until
00:03:52.400 Joe Biden decides to be a champion, not for girls and women, but for pretenders, men that want to
00:04:01.000 pretend and declare that they're women. And now they're going to take away the opportunities 1.00
00:04:06.700 that were intended for the women. And number one, it's not, it's taking away safety for girls and 1.00
00:04:14.500 women. You know what it's like to have them invading the locker rooms and the showers of our girls and 1.00
00:04:22.120 women, and then taking, you know, participating in the athletics are going to just completely ruin 1.00
00:04:29.100 girls' athletic opportunities. And making a dangerous situation, even in athletics, depending on the 0.81
00:04:35.680 sport that they've decided to participate in. So, I have a bill, a congressional, well, a congressional
00:04:44.580 bill to reverse his Title IX rule. And we've got 70 co-sponsors already. And I look for it to pass because
00:04:56.480 this is common sense and that this is on the side of the American people. American people think the
00:05:01.800 transgender movement is outrageous and they see that the damage this is going to do to our girls 1.00
00:05:09.520 and women, reversing the big wins we've had. I want to say, where are the feminists? 1.00
00:05:15.420 I know. I know. That seems to be as if it's you and I nowadays. We are the ones who are fighting for
00:05:22.780 the rights and the sex-based protections of women. Never once have I considered myself a feminist,
00:05:29.700 definitely not prior to this fight that we are in now, but now I have to kind of re-evaluate.
00:05:35.420 Am I a feminist? I mean, I certainly believe that women were created equal, men and women, but that's, 0.62
00:05:42.480 I think, where I'm struggling is I thought. Feminists believe that, yes, we're created equal, 1.00
00:05:47.240 but we're the same. And I certainly don't believe we're the same, which is, you know,
00:05:50.780 why we're fighting what we're fighting. But you mentioned...
00:05:53.900 We're created equal, but we're different.
00:05:57.040 Exactly.
00:05:57.860 And, you know, we're different physically. And that's why this is so absurd. I mean,
00:06:02.020 men's bodies have more bone mass, more muscle, more lung capacity. So in every way, at least in
00:06:08.060 athletics, this is, you know, it's unfair. You don't, I haven't, have you heard of any
00:06:14.060 transgender women want to participate in men's athletics? If there are, I haven't heard about it.
00:06:19.280 No.
00:06:19.840 But it's all the other way around. They're basically loser athletes that, 0.99
00:06:23.640 you know, want to go into this. I just want to thank you for your courage. And you had plans 0.59
00:06:28.900 to go to dentistry school, right?
00:06:31.100 I did.
00:06:32.120 And you put those on hold because this is, you know, you're fighting for basically the future
00:06:40.840 of our country. This is an attack on the family too. I mean, the whole transgender movement, 1.00
00:06:45.640 they're sterilizing young women. They're not, they're either going to have diminished opportunity 0.97
00:06:50.900 to have children after they take all these hormones and have surgeries or, you know, they
00:06:59.060 won't be able to have them at all.
00:07:01.040 No, you're right. It harms children. It harms women's rights and it harms and takes away parental 0.97
00:07:07.700 rights. This movement, this movement that's built on deceit and lies. But you mentioned President Biden
00:07:14.500 and you also mentioned how the American people, your common sense, everyday Americans,
00:07:21.080 they're not in support of this, which it leaves me perplexed. You know, why is this something that
00:07:26.720 he would pursue? And so something I found interesting was that this didn't pass through
00:07:32.980 Congress what he did. He signed this with the stroke of a pen and what I would refer to as an
00:07:39.760 illegal administrative rewrite. And so you've mentioned you've introduced this Congressional
00:07:44.360 Review Act, which is important. You also said there's only, there's 70 members of Congress who
00:07:49.820 are supporting this. I'll ask you point blank, are any of those 70 members Democrats?
00:07:55.360 No, no. And I think there may be a few that would want to sign on, but they're like communists over
00:08:04.780 there. They march in lockstep. They can't think for themselves and they're told what to do and how
00:08:09.760 to vote. There's no way that they'll sign on.
00:08:13.940 Do you think they really believe that men can become women? Because I hold this hope in my heart
00:08:23.700 that they don't actually think that. Same thing with the NCAA, same thing with ESPN,
00:08:28.880 who was propping Leah Thomas up during Women's History Month. I don't believe that they actually
00:08:33.580 think that Leah Thomas is a woman or any male who identifies as a woman. They don't actually believe
00:08:39.900 that's a woman. I mean, do you kind of have the same sentiment? Have you had any conversations
00:08:46.520 behind closed doors with people in Congress or even in the Senate who have said, hey,
00:08:51.180 you know, I can see where you're coming from or even outright saying they agree with you?
00:08:58.440 Any conversations I've had, they get extremely frustrated and they start like falsely accusing,
00:09:06.520 calling names and trying to get off topic because they can't defend their position. But I think where
00:09:12.040 we are as a culture is we are reality denying. And when I pondered how we ended up here,
00:09:19.640 so the left and the godless have been taking pot shots at our foundation. You can't build anything
00:09:26.660 without a good foundation. And they are damaging the foundation that our country and our culture was
00:09:32.960 founded on, which are Judeo-Christian values. And, you know, we took God out of school and we started
00:09:38.780 telling kids it came from nowhere. And it has been a downward slide ever since then. But this whole
00:09:45.300 transgender issue goes back to Genesis when God created man and women, a man and woman different
00:09:51.680 and has, you know, all through the scripture, all through millennia, up until recent times,
00:09:59.060 science has been completely supportive that men and women are different.
00:10:03.660 Yeah. And that's something that I really admire about you, Congresswoman Miller, is your stand
00:10:10.000 in your faith. You are someone who proclaims your faith, which is a rarity, honestly. But it's so
00:10:17.760 refreshing to see someone with your power, your influence, your platform, be able to so boldly
00:10:25.020 and so unapologetically do just that. And so, I mean, you kind of touched on it. And as a Christian
00:10:30.620 myself, I entirely see the battles that we face, not just the gender ideology movement,
00:10:37.260 but a lot of the cultural and societal shifts, movements, changes that we've seen,
00:10:43.600 I would describe that as spiritual warfare. And so, I wanted to get kind of your sentiment on that.
00:10:49.960 Absolutely. I like to quote my friend Erwin Lutzer, pastor of Moody Church. He said,
00:10:55.900 evil never retreats on its own, only when it's confronted by a more powerful force. And I think
00:11:02.500 Christians have been wimpy over the last decades, and not wanting to speak up and call things good 1.00
00:11:08.540 and evil like they are. I'm very encouraged with Tucker Carlson, because he's saying this is a
00:11:13.140 battle between good and evil. You're speaking up and saying that. And there truly is good and there's
00:11:20.120 evil, and it's defined in the scriptures. And our country was founded on the Judeo-Christian values. 0.99
00:11:26.640 And I just, like, you've been out in front, and your courage is inspiring others. And so,
00:11:34.480 I want to proclaim that our country was founded on Judeo-Christian values. There is a God. We sing,
00:11:42.840 God bless America. We sing, He shed His grace on thee. And so, we have acknowledged that you come out
00:11:50.380 here, and you look at what's etched in stone, and monuments, and, you know, even in the Capitol. And
00:11:58.280 we start Congress every day, open it with a prayer. And we have been acknowledging it, but now we have
00:12:05.180 someone in the executive office, President Biden, who wants to redefine everything that God said was
00:12:13.820 good, and everything that He said was evil. And we just need to stand up and fight back against it.
00:12:20.060 I'm not afraid of them. I'm not ashamed. People should, you know, the left is so bold to lie,
00:12:27.520 and we need to be bold to tell the truth. We need to quit scurrying to the corner and acting fearful.
00:12:33.700 And I've had people say, oh, but I'll, if I do that, I'll lose this or that. I don't know,
00:12:39.420 social collateral, possibly even their job. But I said, you know what, if we don't fight back,
00:12:44.520 we are going to lose everything. And just like what our girls are going to lose, if we don't fight
00:12:50.760 back against this ridiculous Title IX rule that we're, Joe Biden is defining what a woman is.
00:12:58.580 Sex in Title IX was biological. And now he's trying to say it's some kind of spectrum of identity based
00:13:07.960 on emotion. And I looked up on the internet how many genders there are. So this affects our girls 1.00
00:13:14.960 and women's private spaces, scholarships, and athletics. But it goes much farther than that.
00:13:21.360 It's actually going to force coerced speech in the schools. And we know that, you know, all over the
00:13:27.900 country, teachers and students are either being fired or they're being suspended for misgendering
00:13:34.360 someone. And I looked up on the internet and there were several things like 72 genders, 20 genders,
00:13:41.180 11 genders. And I was reading them to my husband. I couldn't even pronounce the genders. 0.88
00:13:46.780 It's ridiculous. It's absurd. It's like mentally ill where we are entering into. And I just want to 0.97
00:13:56.600 tell everybody, have courage. Here you are a young woman putting your whole life on hold to fight back
00:14:03.000 against this evil. I appreciate it so much. And it should inspire other people, teachers and students
00:14:09.000 and moms and dads. Dads, you should be fighting for your daughters and going out there and saying,
00:14:15.200 you know, my daughter's not participating or we're pulling her out of school or whatever.
00:14:20.920 Show up at the YMCA when they have some 50-year-old trans man showing up to watch the girls undress.
00:14:27.660 Fight back! 1.00
00:14:30.280 100%. Yeah, I think we've seen a failure on behalf of parents. And to your point,
00:14:35.840 if this isn't a hill you're willing to die on because of fear, because you're scared to lose
00:14:40.960 your job or any other factor, then what in the world is the hill that you're willing to die on?
00:14:47.000 This should be, I mean, really without question, something that we're willing to stand up against.
00:14:51.480 And so I just wanted to ask you, I mean, do you think this is going to be a issue
00:14:58.520 that is, has attention drawn to it during the presidential election?
00:15:04.720 I think we should draw attention to it.
00:15:07.100 Totally.
00:15:07.900 Absolutely. Because we represent the majority of Americans.
00:15:11.740 The majority of Americans are dwelling in reality and they refuse to,
00:15:16.520 you know, the left is trying to get us to deny reality. Look at them. They'll say,
00:15:21.980 Joe Biden's saying, oh, the border is secure. That's what he's been saying for the last three
00:15:26.200 years. There's, you know, inflation is under control. Americans know better and we know better
00:15:32.540 on this transgender issue also. So I think that we should, it should be the border, inflation, 1.00
00:15:40.560 and family values, parental rights. And this trans issue are big issues that we should be talking 0.59
00:15:47.460 about. They're winners with the American people.
00:15:50.140 Well, I totally agree with you. I know you have a busy day fighting for people like me fighting for
00:15:56.980 people in your home state of Illinois. But we're so grateful for you. As you said, you have five
00:16:03.240 daughters, 10 granddaughters. Gosh, you are majorly outnumbered. But that's what it's about.
00:16:09.040 We are fighting for the next generation so they can have the same opportunities to compete that I
00:16:15.540 had, that you had. Absolutely. People in your generation fought for that are now being eroded
00:16:21.260 at the hands of the administration in the White House right now. But it's people like you that give
00:16:28.320 me hope. People, I mean, 20 states are now suing the Biden administration. Lots of pushback,
00:16:33.820 which is long overdue, but certainly necessary. And so you, again, are at the forefront of that.
00:16:40.040 And we could not be more grateful for you, Congresswoman Miller. So thank you.
00:16:43.900 Oh, well, it's mutual. Thank you so much. You're doing a great job. I appreciate how you're going
00:16:49.320 into all those hard spaces like at universities. And you're just cheerfully, joyfully, boldly
00:16:55.360 proclaiming the truth and pushing back against this agenda.
00:16:59.360 As I said in the intro, she is someone who is just as down to earth and amazing in real life
00:17:06.660 as she is and as you saw on this interview. And so we appreciate her and her fight. As she said,
00:17:13.920 be bold, be courageous, be strong, and be unapologetic in stating the truth, biological
00:17:20.640 reality. Thanks for checking us out. Again, make sure you check us out at outkick.com.
00:17:25.820 But we will see you again next week.
