00:00:00 Recently, our company's softball team lost the big game by one run.
00:00:04 Then Dale tried to console us with the quote,
00:00:07 winning isn't everything.
00:00:09 Well, Dale and I are very different.
00:00:12 I get early payout from Bet365.
00:00:14 If my team goes up big, I get paid out instantly,

00:00:30 the wmba task force of team presidents and general managers they met i think on this wednesday and
00:00:42 they discussed transgender athletes which of course i'm talking about men they discussed men
00:00:48 but did not arrive at any sort of eligibility rules when it comes to playing in the wmba
00:00:55 I thought the W in WNBA stood for women, but I'm now starting to think it stands for woke.
00:01:01 What do you make of this?
00:01:03 What do you think we're going to like hear out of this meeting? 0.52
00:01:05 Do we actually think they're going to reach a conclusion on what a woman is?
00:01:12 Okay, first, I'm just thinking about the fact that there needed to be a meeting.
00:01:16 Like imagine all of these people sitting at this table being like, okay, guys, we got to talk about it.
00:01:21 We have to figure this out.
00:01:23 we need to do something like in a dire they're like we're in dire situation here guys pr mode
00:01:28 this is not something complicated that you need to have a panel of people to figure out or you
00:01:34 need to hire a consultant to tell you what to do this is common sense men are men women are women
00:01:41 if you're gonna have a women's league why would it not just be for what everyone knows the word 0.99
00:01:46 woman means end of story and so like i'm just like just think about that visual it's not make 0.80
00:01:51 you crack up of like thinking about them in a conference room trying to discuss this i am
00:01:58 picturing it and i'm also simultaneously picturing a conference room full of kindergartners doing the
00:02:05 exact same thing and tell me why i would be more apt to believe that the room full of kindergartners
00:02:10 would come up with a better answer of what is a woman than like this task force this like cryptic
00:02:17 task force which sounds so official and it sounds so like you know these these powerful you have to 0.71
00:02:23 assume women uh in these leadership positions who um can't tell you what a woman is um and and i
00:02:33 said there that the official statement from espn and from the wmba was that they were meeting on
00:02:37 transgender athletes and i clarified that they're talking about men because we just don't see this
00:02:43 ever happening the other way could you imagine the nba the the why don't they call it the m nba
00:02:49 the men's national basketball association uh meeting to have a conversation on what a man is
00:02:55 no that sounds like the most ridiculous thing ever because it's not happening do you think
00:02:59 the other side will ever see the hypocrisy in all of that well no but actually technically speaking 0.94
00:03:07 the nba does not have a sex requirement to play if you were a woman any of these women who play 0.86
00:03:12 in the WNBA are actually allowed to try out for the NBA if they want to. But guess what? Men are 1.00
00:03:18 stronger than women. Men are better athletes than women. You will never see a woman make the NBA and 1.00
00:03:24 go ahead and leave the rules to be that way, but you will never see it, which shows how different 0.96
00:03:29 men and women are. So yeah, they're never going to have to have that conversation because
00:03:32 technically speaking, it actually is an open league. And guess what? If the NBA is an open
00:03:36 league, anyone can go play in it. So why do we have to include men in the WNBA category? 0.99
00:03:42 yeah no it's absurd um what do you make of inez canter freedom and royce white who have now 0.99
00:03:50 they're coming out as these beautiful stunning brave trans women they've got their wigs and 0.97
00:03:57 everything full beard still by the way and they have declared themselves a prospect for the 2027
00:04:03 wmba draft what do you make of all of this yeah it's been a really interesting situation to follow
00:04:11 Um, I honestly think that it is kind of funny, but it is sad.
00:04:16 And I think that I do look at the situation and think, okay, we're in kind of a clown
00:04:20 world when stuff like this keeps happening.
00:04:23 But the only people to blame for this, and I keep pointing back to this, is the leadership 0.85
00:04:27 of the WNBA.
00:04:29 They are really horrible leaders to have not figured out that this could potentially be
00:04:33 a problem.
00:04:34 And I've also seen people make the argument that, oh, maybe they're doing this on purpose
00:04:38 because the WNBA is getting more coverage than they've ever gotten before, right? Because people
00:04:42 have known that their viewership is down. It's not, it's not a profitable business, all those
00:04:46 things. But I can't give them the credit for being smart enough to come up with this. They slipped
00:04:50 and fell into the situation because they're such bad leaders. They don't know how to defend and
00:04:55 protect their athletes in the league. And they don't know how to define a woman, what a woman is. 1.00
00:05:00 And it's really, really sad to see this more than anything else. And I think the young girls who are
00:05:05 playing basketball right now might look up to this and say, OK, I don't actually want to play
00:05:10 basketball at the pro level because I'm going to have to deal with this clown show. It's a good
00:05:14 point. And I haven't really thought of it like that because I think my initial reaction and my
00:05:19 steady reaction since learning of this is to kind of just laugh at it and not because they're making
00:05:24 a mockery or they're not intending, I don't believe, to make a mockery of women's sports,
00:05:28 but they're more so making a mockery of the mockery that has been made of women's sports
00:05:34 because of people like the WNBA, but you're right. When you have young girls who aspire to be just
00:05:39 like Caitlin Clark, and they're watching this, and they see someone who looks like Ennis Cantor
00:05:44 Freedom, who is 6'10", 250 pounds, waiting for them at the goal when they go up for a layup,
00:05:52 no thanks. I didn't play basketball, but I can tell you, I would not want to go up against that.
00:05:58 So it's a good point. And, and I don't think the WNBA realizes that ultimately that is the outcome, the probable outcome of what's happening here is you're discouraging young girls from playing. And it starts somewhere, right? I hear the argument all the time. Well, like, it's just middle school girls basketball. Who really cares? Well, don't you think Caitlin Clark started somewhere? She was at one point just a middle school girls basketball player and look at her now.
00:06:26 So really good point. But nonetheless, I'll be excited to kind of see what the WNBA does here, because it does. 1.00
00:06:33 It forces their hand. And now they're having meetings to figure out what a woman is. 1.00
00:06:38 Thanks to, I think, Inez Cantor Freedom. I want to ask you about Anthony Fauci, Dr.
00:06:44 Anthony Fauci, because having known you for many years now and also kind of being in the same spot where we were both college athletes during the time of COVID,
00:06:53 of course it was uh peak 2021 2022 it was the mask it was the the social distancing and all of
00:07:03 the crazy compliance things that came with covet and being a college athlete during the time
00:07:08 are you the same as me where you have just like so many memories and pictures tainted with this 0.98
00:07:15 stupid face diaper that half the time i wasn't even wearing above my mouth or my nose it was 0.99
00:07:19 literally on my chin. But nonetheless, it ruined so many good memories and so many pictures I have 0.99
00:07:26 throughout my last two years of college. No, it literally didn't. I remember when we would go to
00:07:31 the weight room, I would refuse to wear it on my nose, but you had to have it on your face, right?
00:07:36 So I'd wear it on my chin. And one of our assistant coaches had taken a picture of me, like, you know,
00:07:41 lifting in the weight room or whatever, and it was on my chin, put it on our team page, and they had
00:07:45 to remove the photo because they couldn't show their athletes like not properly wearing the
00:07:50 masks and it was because i was the one in the photo with it on my chin so 100 i remember just
00:07:55 all of these rules that just felt so made up so we had a rule and none of it made sense but we
00:08:03 had this rule in 2021 at penn that if you were practicing for your sport you had to be wearing
00:08:09 a mask so they sent this email all penn athletics got this email you must be wearing a mask when
00:08:13 practice we're looking at each other thinking okay we're the only sport here that's in the pool
00:08:19 are we what is what does this mean so then they sent a follow-up email to us saying okay actually
00:08:26 you guys are the ones sport that you have to wear on the side of the pool but you don't have to do
00:08:30 it while you're actually practicing because you can't and okay hilarious same thing as the wmba
00:08:35 back to that i thought about the fact that there was a panel of people in the university athletics
00:08:41 department and whatever that sat there and had to talk about the fact that they had to give the
00:08:46 swim team an exemption to not directly swim with their masks on and only have them on on the side
00:08:51 of the pool madness madness it's like covid just knew not to infect you guys because you were given
00:08:59 the exemption um and yet to to provide more color to that uh we would go to meets and picture it
00:09:07 like you're swimming, let's say the 200 fly, and you finish, you touch the wall, you're clearly
00:09:12 breathing, like it's labored breathing, you're huffing and puffing, you just like swam for two
00:09:17 minutes straight, full, like full out sprint, you get out of the water, and immediately, you have to
00:09:23 put your mask on, which your mask has been on the pool deck, your mask is soaking wet, so you put it
00:09:27 on your face, and you're breathing in water, like we were effectively waterboarding ourselves,
00:09:32 which is like it's got to be some sort of health hazard i don't know like starving yourself of
00:09:39 oxygen for two years at a time so um i don't know if this happened to you guys but when we put our
00:09:45 masks on the side of the pool during practice a lot of people had the same colored mask like black
00:09:49 or like the blue one yeah and you'd end up swapping masks i remember this one time i knew for sure i
00:09:55 had a black mask there were no black masks left when i got to the wall and there was a blue one
00:10:00 And I told my coach, I was like, that is not my mask.
00:10:02 And he goes, you need to be wearing it.
00:10:03 Put that on.
00:10:03 And I go, that is arguably even worse than not wearing masks, accidentally taking someone
00:10:08 else's because again, none of the policies made sense and it was all made up.
00:10:13 All right, you guys, I know that electrolyte brands are everywhere right now.
00:10:17 So I get the skepticism, but Relight is the one that actually made me pay attention because
00:10:23 it starts with Redmond Real Salt.
00:10:26 Realite is made by Redmond, the company that's been mining ancient sea salt in Utah of all
00:10:30 places since 1958.
00:10:32 So instead of like this mystery sodium and a bunch of other junk that you don't know
00:10:38 how to pronounce, you're getting unrefined real salt with natural trace minerals, plus
00:10:43 key electrolytes like potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride, and coconut water powder
00:10:48 in the flavored varieties.
00:10:50 And the best part, of course, it's clean, meaning zero sugar, no artificial sweeteners,
00:10:55 no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, and no chemical preservatives. So if you're ready to
00:11:00 give Relight a try, go to redmond.com slash hydrate, and you can use code hydrate to get 15%
00:11:06 off your first order. That is redmond.com slash hydrate. Use code hydrate for 15% off your first
00:11:12 order, or you can click the link in the video description. You can scan the QR code on your
00:11:16 screen, or you can check the pin comment. Yeah, you had to be six feet apart, but when you were
00:11:22 swimming and you're on the wall after you finish a set again someone's right behind you breathing
00:11:27 down your neck you're breathing down the person in front of you's neck none of the rules made sense
00:11:31 now we've found out that Dr. Anthony Fauci he knew that the vaccine could be associated with
00:11:39 miscarriages in pregnant women in the first trimester approximately 20,000 pregnant women
00:11:44 have been vaccinated with no red flags as we say and this is being monitored by the CDC and
00:11:51 the FDA. Yet, that wasn't the official public narrative. I think we have a clip here
00:11:57 of Dr. Fauci and what he was saying publicly. Let's play it.
00:12:04 Recently, our company's softball team lost the big game by one run. Then Dale tried to console
00:12:10 us with the quote, winning isn't everything. Well, Dale and I are very different. I get early
00:12:17 payout from Bet365. If my team
00:12:19 goes up big, I get paid out instantly,

00:12:33 recently our company softball team lost the big game by one run then dale tried to console us
00:12:51 with the quote winning isn't everything well dale and i are very different i get early payout from
00:12:59 bet365 if my team goes that big i get paid out instantly even if they blow the lead later sound
00:13:05 familiar deal thanks bet365 must be 19 or older ontario only please play responsibly if you have
00:13:10 questions or concerns about your gambling or the gambling of someone close to you please go to
00:13:13 connexontario.ca tnc supply i mean this whole situation makes me so mad because i've seen
00:13:19 online just in comment sections and what people are posting their own personal experiences where
00:13:25 maybe they were the woman who struggled and ultimately had a miscarriage and haven't been
00:13:31 able to get pregnant since. What do you make of this? What's kind of your initial reaction?
00:13:38 Yeah, I mean, it's so messed up for us. Just like this situation, like we can laugh about
00:13:42 the mask parts, but there's so many like unfunny things about the whole handling of COVID. And I
00:13:47 think this is one of them. There are so many things that are looked at for pregnant women
00:13:51 that are at risk right there's so many medications i've never been pregnant you probably speak to
00:13:55 this more there's so many things you shouldn't do that they take extra extra extra precautions
00:13:59 just because you're you're carrying deli meat another exactly you can't have ham you're carrying 0.98
00:14:04 another life right things like that so i'm i'm wondering why they even allowed pregnant women
00:14:09 to be receiving this vaccine altogether if it was so unknown i remember it was if you remember like
00:14:15 the process of making this vaccine it was like it was so many years sped up on the process of doing
00:14:20 these things, right? My brother studied chemistry. You've met my brother. I asked him, I was like,
00:14:23 does this sound normal? He goes, no, not at all. Like this is so beyond different. They somehow
00:14:28 broke science and sped up the process of approving and making a vaccine in like half the time they
00:14:34 normally need. You think about all the, all the different things and you're right. There's a lot,
00:14:41 um, whether it's weddings being postponed or kids who didn't get to go to school. And you think
00:14:47 about, especially in those first few years of like first grade and second grade, where that
00:14:52 learning, I think especially in-class learning is so transformative. Kids didn't get to start that
00:14:56 process. You think of people who didn't get to walk at graduation, or you think of elderly people
00:15:00 who died in nursing homes or in hospice alone. I think this is the thing that makes me the most
00:15:07 mad. And I think just the fact that he knew, or at least knew that it could potentially be
00:15:14 associated with and now all this raw data is coming out um is criminal is criminal i've said
00:15:20 it for a while and i know you feel the same or maybe i shouldn't speak for you but um i think
00:15:25 dr fauci should be in prison for his greed and for his negligence and for his just utter disregard
00:15:31 for human life and i think to that point for murdering babies because that's how i view this
00:15:38 and it makes me just it makes me so upset do you think we'll see any sort of recourse or real
00:15:45 accountability it's important to mention he's like 87 years old so I mean the dude's almost 90
00:15:50 but nonetheless will do you think we'll see anything happen to him that that ultimately
00:15:57 points in the direction of justice you know the sad thing is I don't think that we will but yeah
00:16:02 like I agree with everything you just said and someone in a group chat uh to me sent sent this
00:16:08 I should go find the text and honestly I'll send it to you afterwards because it was like very very
00:16:11 pointed statement but it was if Fauci doesn't spend the rest of his life in like behind bars
00:16:16 we've failed as a society we can't let him get away with something that's not a minor crime
00:16:22 against a few people every single person was affected by this in one way or another whether
00:16:27 it was your loss of like minor things like us complaining about wearing masks but there's so
00:16:33 many greater things that people were harmed by his actions that, again, there needs to be
00:16:37 accountability for it. And I think we've seen some good stuff. I think bringing him to go to Congress
00:16:43 and have to answer these questions, even though he pled the fifth, I think that there are people
00:16:46 in Congress fighting for us and for us people. But I ultimately don't really see anything happening
00:16:52 to him, which I think is a sad part. And I think many Americans probably agree nothing will happen
00:16:56 too. Yeah, I think COVID, um, it contributed to people losing trust in the public health
00:17:03 sector. Um, but I think also in this regard, losing trust in their elected representation
00:17:11 and government officials, uh, when it comes to justice and real accountability, which
00:17:16 all are very tragic, um, outcomes and side effects of COVID-19.
00:17:22 All right, you guys, if you've watched my show before, then you've probably heard me talk about
00:17:28 my friends at Why Refi before. What they're doing is incredible. It's needed. So my question for you
00:17:34 is, are you struggling with private student loan debt? Is even your minimum payment higher than
00:17:39 what you can actually afford? Maybe you're even in default. Well, I have good news. Number one,
00:17:45 you're not alone. And number two, Why Refi can help. They refinance private student loans that
00:17:50 other companies, other lenders will not even touch. And they will give you a custom loan
00:17:54 payment plan based on your ability to pay. They work with you. They sit down with you one-on-one
00:18:00 that each borrower individually to craft a payment that works for you. They can help you reduce your
00:18:06 monthly costs, your monthly payment and your total costs. You will get a low fixed interest rate.
00:18:11 Sometimes they see as low as 1%. You can't get that anywhere else. You'll be able to see the
00:18:16 light at the end of the tunnel. And the best part is why refi does not care what your credit score
00:18:21 is. This is good news. Uh, is private student loan debt wrecking your life and destroying your
00:18:28 dreams and the future that you envision for yourself? Uh, you do not have to live with this
00:18:33 sort of stress or worry anymore. Just go to why refi.com. That is Y R E F Y.com. And be sure to
00:18:39 tell them that Riley from the Riley Gaines show sent you. Um, I want to ask you about this new,
00:18:47 well, I say new, it's really not a new trend. Uh, although I think it has been
00:18:52 re-intensified if you will, from the early two thousands. And that is, I actually don't know at
00:18:59 this point if it's eating disorders, trigger warning. If I guess TikTok has conditioned me
00:19:05 when you're talking about these things, you need to lead with a trigger warning and say that this
00:19:08 just for educational purposes only. If it's now being caused by eating disorders or Ozempic,
00:19:17 which was rebranded to GLP-1s, which is then rebranded to peptides, or what is happening
00:19:22 here, but I call it the Ariana Grande effect. Here's a picture of Ariana Grande, and you can
00:19:26 see her sternum through her skin. I don't know about you, but it doesn't look like it has any
00:19:35 sort of lasting, I guess, functional ability here. I mean, this looks totally debilitating,
00:19:41 and this is clearly the signs of someone who is malnourished. What do you make of Hollywood now
00:19:48 being like arianified, if you will? Yeah, I don't know what's going on. I think I saw 1.00
00:19:54 something like tweet in my timeline or something of someone being like, someone please explain
00:19:57 what's going on in Hollywood other than demonic possession, because it's just a really sad and
00:20:04 disturbing thing to see and i think it's interesting too because the same hollywood that
00:20:09 was trying to call you know really really overweight people beautiful and healthy and you
00:20:15 can't say obese and you're fat phobic and all these things we've swung in the opposite direction here
00:20:20 like we need to just be like healthy normal like you and i pretty thin and i also like i've had
00:20:26 many meals with you like you and i can eat like you don't even like for sure we're not we're not
00:20:30 sitting here like trying to to starve ourselves and i i i don't know what's going on and i think
00:20:35 it's it's really sad to see and again like back to our i guess original conversation is young
00:20:40 girls are going to see this and think that it's normal and they they look up to these celebrities
00:20:44 and they're going to want to look like them and i don't think this is a standard that you know they
00:20:50 should be putting out there but also area mont grande is going to be taking time away from public
00:20:55 life i'm not sure if you saw that there was some statement about that so maybe there is some sort
00:21:00 acknowledgement that something isn't quite right there. Yeah, I saw that. I think she's ended her
00:21:05 tour early. The message was pretty like, I guess, mystique, where I was like, hey, Ariana is going
00:21:15 to be taking some time to recover and for herself. And I say good. I think that is a really, really
00:21:21 good thing if to recover and to feel healthy and confident and like your best self. If that means
00:21:29 taking time away by all means. I think another person who could potentially benefit from that
00:21:35 is Jenna Ortega. Videos have just surfaced this week of her. Of course, this is Wednesday in the 0.94
00:21:43 Netflix show Wednesday. I really liked Jenna Ortega. I've always liked her. I think she's 0.95
00:21:49 beautiful. I think she's a great actress. And now she looks so ill. Like, and again, I generally
00:21:57 generally don't like to comment on women's bodies or just bodies in general um because you don't 0.85
00:22:03 know what someone's going through i think healthy can look different for different people you know
00:22:07 someone weighing 130 130 pounds might be healthy for them it might not be if you're six foot two 0.57
00:22:13 you know so i think healthy is different for different people but jenna ortega does not look
00:22:18 okay it looks like the life has been sucked out of her and she looks older um do you think maybe
00:22:25 maybe not these two examples that I've given because I think these are extremes, but I do 1.00
00:22:29 think with your standard Hollywood celebrity, famous elite woman who is desiring to be skinny,
00:22:38 do you think that it actually ends up making them look better? Because I've come to the conclusion
00:22:45 now that oftentimes when they do this, whether it's the skinny thing or just injecting themselves
00:22:49 with all the filler and the Botox and the procedures, plastic surgery, I think sometimes
00:22:54 it has the opposite effect and it actually makes you look worse it makes you look unnatural and it
00:22:59 makes you look older yeah I've actually heard that someone was saying that it's kind of the
00:23:04 skinnier you are the more aged you look because you kind of need some of the fat on your face on
00:23:10 your body to sort of like fill you out more like kind of like why people even get filler right it's
00:23:14 like the opposite it's the natural way you'd have that so that is something I've heard people say
00:23:19 But again, I don't know what is going on in Hollywood.
00:23:23 And the other thing I want to point out, too, is we are we've never seen these people in person.
00:23:28 That's true. You actually look 10 pounds skinnier in real life than you do behind a camera.
00:23:34 And I don't know if I've told you this theory. I've recently figured this out because I saw Alex Earl in person a while ago.
00:23:41 And we're not talking about her in this conversation, but she is really, really ultra, ultra thin in a way that you probably wouldn't expect.
00:23:49 I'm not putting her in this box of someone who needs to be like maybe is unhealthy in a way but
00:23:54 she's a lot thinner than she looks looking at her on video and so I also want to point that out that
00:23:59 it might even be worse than what we're seeing and for some reason a lot of people who are behind
00:24:04 the camera a lot and a lot of people who are in movies they get start to get self-conscious of
00:24:08 that and then they lose even more and more and more weight so that is also maybe a factor why
00:24:12 this could be happening I have people who say that to me all the time it's like your standard
00:24:16 Fox News watcher so think of like maybe a little older and oftentimes men who like don't have much
00:24:23 of a filter and they're like oh I thought you were a lot bigger I'm like oh I don't know if I should
00:24:28 like be flatter or say thanks or be offended I don't know but I do I think I have like a rounder
00:24:33 face and so when you can't see my body I actually agree with your assessment um for sure I want to
00:24:41 ask you too about we saw a pretty big like dichotomy this week where on one hand you have
00:24:48 AOC freezing her eggs um obviously you have to imagine with the intent of hopefully one day soon
00:24:56 relatively soon I think it has to be soon given her age of having babies and on the other hand 0.68
00:25:02 you have Caroline Levitt who just welcomed life into this world a little baby girl um our press
00:25:07 secretary or i should say our former press secretary who has now taken a step back to spend
00:25:12 more time as um a present mom what do you make of of both situations uh let's start with like the
00:25:20 whole aoc thing um i will say really quickly um this comes after she just announced her i think
00:25:27 pretty uh stark breakup with her fiance boyfriend i think they were engaged for like nearly four
00:25:35 years or something like that. And when I think it was TMZ was asking her about it, you know,
00:25:39 they follow people on the Hill and they're asking her about a breakup. She's like, Oh, well,
00:25:42 that's my private life. I keep that private. I'm like, girl, not even two days ago, you were
00:25:47 injecting yourself publicly online for everyone to see freezing your eggs. So like,
00:25:53 do you really want it private? I don't know. Every single day, thousands of women hear the
00:25:58 same devastating lie that abortion is their only option, that they're alone, that there's no hope,
00:26:05 but everything changes the moment that a mother in crisis walks into a pre-born network clinic
00:26:10 and sees her baby on an ultrasound for the very first time. That one moment, that one instance
00:26:16 doubles her chance at choosing life. Because at that point, it's not just an image on a screen,
00:26:23 It's hearing with your own ears, your baby's heartbeat, undeniable life, maybe for the very
00:26:29 first time. And in that moment, the mother realizes that life is growing inside her.
00:26:35 And that's not a problem to be solved, but instead it's a life to be protected. Let's be there for
00:26:40 that mom in crisis in that beautiful moment with love and with prayer and with support.
00:26:46 One pre-born partner put it this way, said, knowing my gift could save a life was the most
00:26:50 meaningful act of love that I could give. So my proposition to you is that for just $28,
00:26:57 you can partner with my friends at Preborn and provide one life-saving ultrasound. $140
00:27:02 provides five ultrasounds. You know what that is? That's five chances for life. That's what me and
00:27:08 my husband choose to do every month. We give $140 to Preborn. This year, let's make it the biggest
00:27:14 baby-saving year in history. So I encourage you to take a stand and to be bold and to speak for
00:27:20 those who cannot yet speak for themselves, you can call pound two 50 and say, baby, that's pound
00:27:27 two 50 baby, or visit preborn.com slash defend women. That's preborn.com slash defend women.
00:27:36 Yeah. I'm going to go ahead and say that the egg freezing situation has to be a publicity stunt. 0.98
00:27:40 I really don't see it any other way. It's sort of trying to put out this message that you can be
00:27:45 a girl boss, that you don't need to have a family that it's okay. You can just do whenever you're
00:27:49 ready. So here's this option of freezing your eggs. So you can go run for president or whatever
00:27:54 it is that you secretly want to go do that you haven't announced yet. So I think it's totally
00:27:58 a PR stunt. It's trying to get more people to be single women who aren't looking to start families
00:28:04 who aren't looking to settle down. And I think also what maybe the Democrats realize is that
00:28:09 single women are a huge part of their voter base. And guess what? Once they get married and have
00:28:14 kids, they become more conservative and they lose them as voters. So I think that is also
00:28:19 probably an aspect, too, of just trying to keep the PR of keeping their numbers high and their
00:28:23 votes up. So you think this is like maybe hinting at a 2028 presidential run? It could be. In an
00:28:30 interview, I'm not sure if you saw this. She did. She didn't say no, which to me sounds like a yes.
00:28:35 But I think it's more for just, again, publicity and staying relevant. I mean, we can say all we
00:28:41 want about AOC, but she's done a wonderful job of staying relevant, whether it was attacking you a
00:28:46 couple of months ago if you remember that of course or just all these different things she's
00:28:50 just involved with everything that's gone on she's trying to keep her relevance yeah i agree with you
00:28:56 now what about caroline lovett um i'll be sad to not see her behind the podium because she does
00:29:01 such a fantastic job i honestly i really don't even think i can think of a single blunder that
00:29:07 she had in the you know two years that she was press secretary which is saying a lot um so what 0.91
00:29:14 you make of her taking a step back? And who's your prediction for the next press secretary?
00:29:19 Yeah, you texted me that before the show. I don't know who will take over for Caroline. And I don't
00:29:24 know if anyone can really fill her shoes in the same way, right? Youngest press secretary in
00:29:29 history. She's awesome. I know you know her. I've met her a few times. She's just like nothing but 1.00
00:29:34 wonderful. And I'm not surprised by this. I know that she's a young mom. She just had another baby.
00:29:40 I think it's it's the right choice for her as much as she wants to serve this country and serve our
00:29:45 president she needs to take time with her family and I think that's that's something that's very
00:29:49 important and so I applaud that for her I know it won't be the end of what we see from her I think
00:29:53 there'll be great things to come and I honestly have no idea who's going to replace her I'm not
00:29:58 sure if you have any predictions or maybe we need to go like check Calci or something and see what
00:30:02 the betting odds are saying because I honestly haven't really thought about it because again
00:30:06 she's just someone who's irreplaceable in my opinion. I think so too. And so I was trying
00:30:11 to think about the things that I loved about her. I love the fact she was young. I think that
00:30:16 it allows her to be able to combat the people in the press room well, because she knows she
00:30:23 keeps up on social media. She knows what's going on. And she knows how the American people want
00:30:28 those people to be responded to. And she does it so perfectly. And so I love the fact that
00:30:33 she's young. So I'm thinking of other young people. I wonder if Trump would consider Spencer
00:30:39 Pratt. I think that'd be super cool to see. I don't know much about his communication skills
00:30:44 beyond the ads I saw in the commercials that he did online. But if his communication skills are
00:30:50 anything like what I saw online, I think he would be awesome. Wait, stop. I haven't even thought
00:30:56 about that. And you just like, can we like campaign for him to do that? Can this be our
00:31:00 official notice, Spencer, we're begging you from Riley and Paula, please, please, please come be
00:31:05 our press secretary. Spencer Pratt for press secretary. Paula, you're the best. And I always
