Verdict with Ted Cruz - THREE Supreme Court Victories against Lawfare Attacking the Trump Administration, plus 4 MILL Illegals w Social Security Numbers

00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.

00:00:02.700 Guaranteed human.

00:00:05.380 Welcome. It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz.

00:00:07.640 Nice to have you with us on this Wednesday morning.

00:00:09.920 And we get to start with good news, Senator,

00:00:11.700 and that is there are three different rulings

00:00:14.880 that have come down from the Supreme Court

00:00:16.520 all in favor of the Trump administration.

00:00:19.460 Well, that's right, and it's very encouraging.

00:00:21.220 You know, we've talked about at length on this podcast

00:00:23.860 how the lawfare that is unfolding

00:00:26.100 against the Trump administration,

00:00:27.420 the pattern of nationwide injunctions

00:00:30.560 has in the last three months

00:00:33.220 exceeded what has happened in the last 20 years.

00:00:36.320 It's exceeded what happened in the entire 20th century

00:00:39.340 in terms of the number of nationwide injunctions

00:00:42.300 issued against the Trump administration.

00:00:44.260 Well, the good news is in the last couple of days,

00:00:46.920 we've had not one, not two,

00:00:48.900 but three Supreme Court victories

00:00:50.720 for the Trump Department of Justice

00:00:53.200 against these nationwide injunctions.

00:00:55.180 We're going to break down all three of them

00:00:56.960 and lay out, we've talked about on this podcast

00:01:00.060 how the principal check on this abuse of power

00:01:03.540 that's going to be effective

00:01:04.500 is the appellate process and the Supreme Court.

00:01:07.740 It's encouraging now we have three victories.

00:01:10.060 We're also going to talk about a new report from Doge

00:01:13.040 that over 4 million Social Security numbers

00:01:16.340 were given to illegal aliens,

00:01:18.340 people who are not U.S. citizens.

00:01:19.960 And finally, we've seen the growing pattern

00:01:22.700 of men competing in women's sports.

00:01:25.420 This past week, it went viral.

00:01:27.740 A woman competing in fencing faced a man, 0.99

00:01:30.860 a man identifying as a woman,

00:01:32.580 and she declined to compete.

00:01:34.360 The woman took a knee and ended up being disqualified. 1.00

00:01:37.800 Disqualified because she declined to compete

00:01:40.480 against a biological man.

00:01:42.740 That was wrong.

00:01:43.660 That was an abuse of power.

00:01:44.820 And as the chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee,

00:01:47.840 I am holding USA fencing to account.

00:01:50.580 We're going to explain all of that

00:01:52.120 and what the consequences are.

00:01:53.860 Yeah, that story is truly shocking.

00:01:55.700 The details we're going to have for you.

00:01:57.200 Make sure you take this podcast

00:01:58.800 and you share it wherever you are on social media

00:02:02.040 because these stories are ones

00:02:04.040 that the media is not covering

00:02:05.680 and we need your help getting it out there.

00:02:07.760 I also want to take a moment

00:02:08.880 and tell you about the IFCJ.

00:02:11.120 Israel is still under attack right now.

00:02:13.380 So, missile fire has resumed from the Houthis,

00:02:16.220 from Hezbollah, and from Hamas.

00:02:18.060 And enemies that are seeking Israel destruction

00:02:21.200 is unfortunately what Israel's having to deal with every day.

00:02:25.660 Here in America, we cannot imagine

00:02:27.420 living under constant threat of terrorism

00:02:29.120 and rocket attacks.

00:02:30.640 Well, this is the reality in Israel.

00:02:32.620 Parents taking their children to school,

00:02:34.600 falling to the ground to lay on top of their small children,

00:02:37.540 trying to comfort them as the sirens blare.

00:02:40.620 The next attack against Israel is happening now 0.96

00:02:43.480 with little time to prepare

00:02:45.760 and that's why I'm asking for your help.

00:02:48.260 That is also why it's so important that you know

00:02:50.920 about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

00:02:53.680 They provide life-saving aid and security essentials.

00:02:57.400 And your urgently needed gift today

00:02:59.360 will help provide security essentials

00:03:01.120 like bomb shelters, flak jackets,

00:03:03.760 and bulletproof vests for the first responders.

00:03:06.100 They also provide armored security vehicles,

00:03:09.500 armored ambulances, and so much more.

00:03:12.460 So join me and stand with Israel. 0.50

00:03:15.400 You can make a donation by calling 888-488-IFCJ.

00:03:20.820 That's 888-488-4325.

00:03:25.920 Or go online to supportifcj.org.

00:03:30.240 One word, supportifcj.org.

00:03:34.740 Senator, this is a big deal,

00:03:37.580 these rulings that you mentioned

00:03:39.260 in the lead-in there in the show,

00:03:41.580 because it's not just one, not two,

00:03:43.880 but three victories for the Trump administration,

00:03:46.160 and no one's covering this.

00:03:48.300 No, that's exactly right.

00:03:49.680 And let's start with the most prominent one,

00:03:51.780 which is the Supreme Court on Monday

00:03:53.880 lifted a judge's order

00:03:55.240 that had blocked the deportation

00:03:57.480 of suspected Venezuelan gang members

00:03:59.700 to a prison in El Salvador.

00:04:02.020 And it was the Trump administration

00:04:05.040 was removing these gang members

00:04:06.980 under an 18th century law

00:04:08.980 known as the Alien Enemies Act.

00:04:11.760 And you'll recall a district judge,

00:04:15.260 James Bozberg,

00:04:16.640 had ordered the halt

00:04:18.280 of the removals under the act.

00:04:20.800 And in fact, President Trump

00:04:22.260 had called for Judge Bozberg's impeachment

00:04:24.820 as a result of that.

00:04:26.540 Well, the court issued a 5-4 decision

00:04:29.040 that blocked the judge's order

00:04:32.640 stopping the deportation.

00:04:34.560 The vote was 5-4.

00:04:36.560 So it was close.

00:04:38.040 5-4.

00:04:39.220 It was a per curiam decision.

00:04:41.180 In the majority were the Chief Justice,

00:04:44.500 Clarence Thomas,

00:04:45.780 Samuel Alito,

00:04:47.220 Neil Gorsuch,

00:04:48.460 and Brett Kavanaugh.

00:04:49.620 And a whole lot of attention

00:04:50.700 has been focused on the fact

00:04:52.020 that Amy Coney Barrett

00:04:53.100 voted with the liberals on this.

00:04:55.180 And so it was a 5-4 decision.

00:04:56.760 Nonetheless, it's a victory

00:04:58.440 in that what the court concluded

00:05:00.160 was that if you wanted

00:05:01.680 to challenge the deportation,

00:05:03.600 that you could not do so in D.C.,

00:05:06.560 which is where they filed the case.

00:05:08.000 Instead, you had to file it

00:05:09.460 as a habeas corpus petition.

00:05:12.340 What is a habeas corpus petition?

00:05:14.880 Habeas corpus is a Latin term.

00:05:17.240 It means produce the body.

00:05:19.020 And habeas corpus is a civil avenue

00:05:21.680 to justify someone's unlawful detention.

00:05:25.900 But the court said,

00:05:26.860 look, these individuals,

00:05:28.520 these gang members were detained

00:05:29.920 at the time the case was filed

00:05:31.320 in South Texas.

00:05:32.680 They said the right place

00:05:33.680 to file the case is in South Texas,

00:05:35.560 not D.C.

00:05:36.560 They weren't being held in D.C.

00:05:37.780 They were being held in South Texas.

00:05:39.340 So the right avenue to challenge this

00:05:41.740 was to file a habeas corpus petition

00:05:43.520 in South Texas.

00:05:44.960 And they said you shouldn't do so

00:05:46.500 as a class action

00:05:47.960 on behalf of everyone,

00:05:49.060 which is what had been done here.

00:05:50.480 Rather, each individual defendant,

00:05:53.880 if you have a claim,

00:05:55.280 so look, if you've been detained,

00:05:56.800 if you're getting ready to be deported,

00:05:58.100 and they say you're a

00:05:59.440 Venezuelan gang member,

00:06:00.540 if you have a claim

00:06:01.260 that I'm not a Venezuelan gang member,

00:06:03.000 the facts are wrong.

00:06:04.300 They said the avenue to do that

00:06:05.620 is go and file a habeas corpus petition

00:06:08.060 in the location

00:06:09.640 where you're being detained.

00:06:10.840 That was 5-4.

00:06:12.360 I wish it had been 9-0.

00:06:14.120 That was clearly right.

00:06:16.300 Now, the court did say

00:06:17.720 that anyone who is being detained

00:06:20.920 and being deported,

00:06:22.100 they should have reasonable notice

00:06:24.420 under due process

00:06:25.260 to have the challenge,

00:06:26.780 the opportunity to challenge

00:06:28.540 their detention and deportation.

00:06:31.000 But this victory is a big,

00:06:33.760 big victory

00:06:34.840 in what had been,

00:06:36.320 I think,

00:06:36.940 an egregious order

00:06:38.240 from the district court

00:06:39.260 trying to stop the deportation

00:06:41.460 of really, really dangerous criminals.

00:06:43.900 Well, let me ask you a question

00:06:44.920 because you mentioned it there,

00:06:46.020 and I think it'd be crazy

00:06:47.260 if I didn't ask it

00:06:48.480 because there's so many people asking.

00:06:50.140 Why was there a,

00:06:51.460 what many would consider

00:06:52.600 a conservative justice,

00:06:54.400 go with the Democrats

00:06:55.660 in this decision?

00:06:57.680 As an aside here,

00:06:58.860 that was obviously part of the headline

00:07:00.880 that we saw on social media.

00:07:02.420 Yeah, look,

00:07:03.020 I don't have a good answer.

00:07:04.560 I think it is unfortunate.

00:07:06.040 I disagree with her decision on that.

00:07:08.060 In this case,

00:07:10.700 look,

00:07:11.380 the left,

00:07:12.600 but both the Democrats

00:07:13.900 and activist judges

00:07:15.600 and left-wing radical legal groups

00:07:18.960 are challenging any deportation.

00:07:22.300 The Trump administration

00:07:23.680 relied on a law

00:07:25.580 called the Alien Enemies Act,

00:07:27.500 which is a law

00:07:28.420 that was signed into law

00:07:29.540 in 1798

00:07:31.080 by President John Adams.

00:07:32.800 And what the Trump administration did

00:07:34.580 is it classified

00:07:35.460 a transnational criminal gang,

00:07:37.440 Tranda Aragua,

00:07:39.180 as an arm of a hostile government,

00:07:41.260 Venezuela.

00:07:42.320 And based on that law,

00:07:45.560 there are very broad

00:07:46.940 legal authorities

00:07:48.140 to deport

00:07:48.920 those who are part

00:07:50.780 of a hostile government

00:07:51.720 waging war

00:07:52.440 on the United States.

00:07:53.520 That was the basis

00:07:54.680 of the deportations.

00:07:56.120 The district judge,

00:07:57.280 Judge Bozberg,

00:07:58.480 had tried to shut down

00:07:59.920 all these deportations

00:08:01.180 and thankfully,

00:08:02.700 the Supreme Court,

00:08:03.700 by a vote of five to four,

00:08:05.560 ended that and said,

00:08:06.700 if you've got an issue

00:08:07.740 with a particular deportation,

00:08:09.720 bring a case,

00:08:10.700 but bring it in the location

00:08:12.020 where the individual is detained.

00:08:14.040 And they did say,

00:08:15.060 you've got to give them

00:08:16.380 a reasonable time

00:08:17.700 to challenge it.

00:08:18.540 And so that presumably

00:08:21.060 will slow down

00:08:21.820 the deportation slightly,

00:08:23.080 but I don't expect

00:08:24.240 it will slow it down much.

00:08:25.400 It may slow it down

00:08:26.440 a matter of days

00:08:27.540 rather than months.

00:08:28.820 And to be clear,

00:08:30.680 this is a victory

00:08:31.680 because it allows

00:08:32.620 the president

00:08:33.140 to continue doing

00:08:34.380 what he wanted to do

00:08:35.520 when it comes to deportations.

00:08:37.360 If this would have gone

00:08:38.220 the other way,

00:08:38.800 this could have been catastrophic.

00:08:40.360 No, that's exactly right.

00:08:41.740 Look, the election in November

00:08:43.760 was a clear mandate

00:08:45.140 to secure the border

00:08:46.740 and to end the invasion

00:08:48.780 at our southern border.

00:08:49.960 And the Trump administration

00:08:51.880 has been following through

00:08:53.400 on that mandate

00:08:54.860 and has been deporting

00:08:56.320 vast numbers

00:08:57.700 of criminal illegal aliens. 1.00

00:08:59.880 The left is losing their mind. 0.98

00:09:01.680 And that was the basis

00:09:05.820 of this injunction.

00:09:06.960 Thankfully,

00:09:07.420 the Supreme Court reversed that.

00:09:08.720 Now, there's another victory

00:09:10.420 that occurred,

00:09:11.500 which is another 5-4 decision

00:09:13.460 where the Supreme Court

00:09:15.000 concluded that it was okay

00:09:16.300 to cancel $600 million

00:09:18.680 in teacher training grants.

00:09:21.060 $65 million of that

00:09:22.480 had yet to be distributed.

00:09:23.780 And there you had

00:09:25.480 a different majority.

00:09:26.820 You had Clarence Thomas,

00:09:29.000 Samuel Alito,

00:09:30.460 Neil Gorsuch,

00:09:31.760 Brett Kavanaugh,

00:09:32.960 and Amy Coney Barrett.

00:09:34.040 So she was in the 5-4.

00:09:35.800 The chief justice

00:09:36.900 joined the liberals.

00:09:37.900 So in the Venezuelan case,

00:09:39.800 Amy Coney Barrett

00:09:40.580 joined the liberals.

00:09:41.940 In the case about

00:09:43.240 canceling the teacher

00:09:44.400 training grants,

00:09:45.820 it was the chief justice

00:09:46.900 who joined the liberals.

00:09:48.240 And what the court concluded

00:09:49.640 in this other case

00:09:50.560 is that that should have been brought

00:09:52.200 in the court of federal claims.

00:09:54.080 That if you have a claim

00:09:55.020 against money being given

00:09:57.420 from the federal government,

00:09:58.560 that the proper venue

00:09:59.440 for challenging that

00:10:00.540 is the court of federal claims.

00:10:02.580 Now, look,

00:10:03.240 some might say,

00:10:04.140 gosh,

00:10:04.840 these decisions are narrow

00:10:06.220 and technical.

00:10:07.500 And they are.

00:10:08.900 But that being said,

00:10:10.640 they're nonetheless victories

00:10:12.120 against district judges

00:10:14.500 that are engaged in lawfare,

00:10:17.000 that are trying to shut down

00:10:19.420 the Trump administration's agenda

00:10:22.220 and the agenda

00:10:24.020 they were elected

00:10:24.680 to implement

00:10:26.140 by the American people.

00:10:27.280 So when you look at this,

00:10:29.260 these, really,

00:10:30.260 these three big decisions,

00:10:32.000 does this also empower

00:10:34.060 the Trump team

00:10:35.260 and administration

00:10:35.780 to do their job now

00:10:37.340 saying, hey,

00:10:38.060 we now know

00:10:39.220 that when we go to court,

00:10:40.340 we're going to be,

00:10:40.980 our side is going to be

00:10:41.980 at least listened to

00:10:43.240 and it's not stacked against us

00:10:45.160 and we're doing the right thing

00:10:46.400 within the law.

00:10:47.300 So yes and no.

00:10:48.020 No, we've only talked about

00:10:48.960 two of the cases.

00:10:49.720 Let me talk about the third one.

00:10:51.320 The third one was

00:10:53.460 there was an order

00:10:54.200 from a district judge

00:10:55.400 that was ordering

00:10:56.740 the Trump administration

00:10:57.680 to reinstate

00:10:58.880 16,000 federal employees

00:11:01.520 that it had fired.

00:11:03.280 Yeah.

00:11:04.240 And that went to the Supreme Court

00:11:06.320 and the Supreme Court

00:11:07.580 actually by a vote of 72

00:11:09.200 reversed it

00:11:10.700 and they said

00:11:12.380 that these federal employees

00:11:15.920 did not have to be reinstated.

00:11:18.520 The two liberal justices

00:11:20.620 that dissented

00:11:21.340 were Sonia Sotomayor 0.93

00:11:23.120 and Ketanji Brown Jackson

00:11:24.480 but the full court,

00:11:26.920 what happened in that case,

00:11:29.580 it was an injunction

00:11:30.340 that was issued

00:11:31.000 by Judge William Alsep

00:11:33.040 who was a district judge

00:11:35.100 in San Francisco

00:11:35.860 and he required

00:11:37.400 the reinstatement

00:11:38.300 of probationary employments

00:11:39.800 at multiple agencies

00:11:40.960 that the Trump administration

00:11:42.940 had sought to dismiss.

00:11:44.520 The judge was appointed

00:11:45.880 by Bill Clinton

00:11:46.580 and the judge concluded

00:11:49.220 that the administration

00:11:50.520 hadn't followed

00:11:51.380 the proper procedures

00:11:53.120 for the firing.

00:11:54.760 Well, the Supreme Court

00:11:56.040 disagreed

00:11:56.760 and 72,

00:11:58.500 they reversed that

00:11:59.460 which is yet another victory.

00:12:01.420 So if you look

00:12:02.180 at the combination of these,

00:12:03.800 you have a victory

00:12:04.660 for deporting

00:12:05.760 violent criminal gang member

00:12:08.020 illegal aliens. 0.97

00:12:08.760 You have a victory

00:12:10.120 for canceling

00:12:11.440 grants that were given

00:12:14.460 and grants that were given

00:12:16.020 in the Trump administration's view

00:12:18.120 inappropriately.

00:12:19.340 And you have a victory

00:12:20.240 for dismissing

00:12:21.440 16,000 primarily

00:12:23.700 probationary employees

00:12:25.020 from federal agencies.

00:12:26.320 In all three of them,

00:12:28.200 you had federal district judges

00:12:29.460 that had stepped in

00:12:30.380 and said,

00:12:30.880 no, we're going to stop you

00:12:32.560 from carrying out

00:12:33.180 this agenda.

00:12:34.200 And in all three of them,

00:12:35.880 the Supreme Court,

00:12:36.800 albeit on technical grounds,

00:12:38.880 reversed or vacated

00:12:40.340 the district court's orders.

00:12:41.800 This is a very,

00:12:43.600 very good development

00:12:44.740 because it's exactly

00:12:45.980 what we talked about.

00:12:47.080 The remedy

00:12:47.800 for lawless decisions

00:12:49.760 by district courts,

00:12:51.420 the best remedy

00:12:52.420 is the appellate process

00:12:54.200 and the U.S. Supreme Court.

00:12:55.980 Now we've talked about

00:12:56.760 on this podcast

00:12:57.620 how there are other remedies,

00:12:59.640 how Congress could pass

00:13:00.860 legislation limiting

00:13:02.660 nationwide injunctions.

00:13:04.180 I support that.

00:13:05.160 In fact,

00:13:05.420 I'm the co-sponsor

00:13:06.320 of legislation

00:13:07.020 to do that,

00:13:08.160 but the problem is

00:13:08.860 the Democrats

00:13:09.360 will filibuster that.

00:13:10.880 It will never get 60 votes.

00:13:12.660 Another possible remedy

00:13:13.780 is impeachment.

00:13:15.000 It is possible

00:13:16.260 the House of Representatives

00:13:17.360 could impeach

00:13:18.280 a district judge

00:13:19.720 who had egregiously

00:13:20.620 abused his power.

00:13:22.220 That takes simply

00:13:23.260 a majority vote

00:13:24.140 in the House of Representatives,

00:13:25.260 218.

00:13:26.100 The Republicans

00:13:26.580 could vote to do that.

00:13:28.140 However,

00:13:28.660 to convict a judge

00:13:29.940 under the Constitution

00:13:31.200 takes two-thirds

00:13:32.160 of the Senate,

00:13:32.840 which means we would need

00:13:33.940 a lot of Democrats,

00:13:35.840 we would get zero,

00:13:37.700 so impeachment

00:13:38.500 will not be

00:13:39.180 an effective remedy either.

00:13:41.480 That means

00:13:42.280 we really are dependent

00:13:43.760 on the appellate process

00:13:44.920 of the Supreme Court,

00:13:46.180 and I'm very encouraged

00:13:47.460 to have three victories

00:13:49.680 within just a couple of days.

00:13:52.200 Yeah,

00:13:52.360 these are big victories,

00:13:53.300 and this is also,

00:13:54.560 like you said,

00:13:55.080 going to encourage,

00:13:55.960 I think,

00:13:56.500 the Trump administration

00:13:57.240 to continue to make bold moves

00:13:58.600 and say,

00:13:59.020 hey,

00:13:59.380 you guys want to sue,

00:14:00.760 go ahead,

00:14:01.420 we'll see you in court,

00:14:02.360 and we'll see what happens there.

00:14:03.960 Let me tell you

00:14:04.540 about Patriot Mobile

00:14:05.480 real quick.

00:14:06.120 If you've got a cell phone

00:14:07.460 and your cell phone

00:14:08.780 is not with Patriot Mobile,

00:14:10.840 then the question

00:14:11.480 I've got to ask you

00:14:12.240 is why?

00:14:13.580 Why have you

00:14:14.340 not made the switch?

00:14:43.980 exceptional

00:14:47.940 and have for years.

00:14:49.360 They can even put

00:14:50.360 a second number

00:14:51.500 on a different network

00:14:52.940 on your phone.

00:14:54.580 It's like carrying

00:14:55.420 two phones in one,

00:14:57.960 and a personal number.

00:15:59.600 Senator,

00:15:59.880 let's talk also

00:16:00.860 about this other

00:16:01.820 shocking news

00:16:03.060 that's come out

00:16:03.780 that's been exposed

00:16:05.400 with Doge

00:16:06.360 and that is

00:16:07.020 that there were

00:16:07.580 a whole lot

00:16:08.420 of illegal immigrants 0.94

00:16:10.000 that were receiving

00:16:11.060 social security numbers

00:16:12.380 right away.

00:16:13.280 It made them eligible

00:16:14.140 for a lot of

00:16:14.800 government program,

00:16:15.680 government aid,

00:16:16.620 and was costing

00:16:17.500 American taxpayers

00:16:18.520 hundreds of billions

00:16:20.120 of dollars

00:16:20.740 and this was all

00:16:21.440 done on purpose

00:16:22.260 by the prior

00:16:22.960 administration.

00:16:23.640 Yeah,

00:16:24.640 that's exactly

00:16:25.280 right.

00:16:25.760 You know,

00:16:26.000 there's a great

00:16:26.740 story about this

00:16:27.560 in the Daily Wire.

00:16:28.860 It begins with,

00:16:30.220 quote,

00:16:30.840 according to the

00:16:31.460 latest numbers

00:16:32.060 reported by the

00:16:32.840 Department of

00:16:33.320 Government Efficiency,

00:16:34.360 Doge,

00:16:35.300 nearly 4 million

00:16:37.280 non-citizens

00:16:38.380 were issued

00:16:39.440 social security

00:16:40.120 numbers in the

00:16:40.740 United States

00:16:41.360 during former

00:16:42.480 President Joe

00:16:43.240 Biden's time

00:16:43.880 in the White

00:16:44.260 House.

00:16:45.320 Stuart Varney

00:16:45.900 broke down

00:16:46.420 some of the

00:16:46.820 details during

00:16:47.520 Tuesday morning's

00:16:48.340 broadcast of his

00:16:49.200 Fox Business

00:16:49.840 show,

00:16:50.780 showing how the

00:16:51.900 numbers exploded

00:16:52.900 from 270,425

00:16:56.060 in Biden's

00:16:57.640 first year in

00:16:58.320 office,

00:16:59.500 up to

00:17:00.260 2,095,247

00:17:05.940 in his last

00:17:06.740 year as

00:17:07.240 president.

00:17:07.940 And in fact,

00:17:08.620 we've got that

00:17:09.340 audio of Stuart.

00:17:10.240 I want to play it

00:17:10.880 for everybody.

00:17:11.620 Take a listen.

00:17:12.980 Doge exposed

00:17:14.060 our immigration

00:17:14.820 asylum disaster. 1.00

00:17:16.400 That was the

00:17:16.880 tip of the iceberg.

00:17:17.900 Now,

00:17:18.060 here's the story.

00:17:19.420 Doge has found

00:17:20.140 that immigration 1.00

00:17:20.900 gave a work

00:17:22.220 authorization

00:17:22.800 document to

00:17:23.760 illegals just 0.92

00:17:24.920 five months

00:17:26.000 after they

00:17:26.620 filed for

00:17:27.820 asylum.

00:17:28.440 That document

00:17:29.240 allowed them

00:17:29.780 to work while

00:17:30.840 they waited to

00:17:31.540 hear whether

00:17:32.000 their asylum

00:17:32.620 request had

00:17:33.180 been accepted

00:17:33.680 or denied.

00:17:34.440 So, they

00:17:35.220 could work

00:17:35.880 as an illegal

00:17:36.620 knowing it

00:17:37.900 would take

00:17:38.280 years before

00:17:39.420 their case

00:17:39.900 was heard.

00:17:40.860 The

00:17:41.200 immigration

00:17:41.620 department

00:17:42.180 mailed them

00:17:43.240 a social

00:17:44.160 security number.

00:17:45.200 No interview,

00:17:46.200 no proof of

00:17:46.720 identity.

00:17:47.260 Just put it

00:17:47.620 in the mail.

00:17:48.100 Here's your

00:17:48.380 number.

00:17:48.580 In 2021,

00:17:50.640 Doge says

00:17:51.200 270,000 new

00:17:53.240 aliens were

00:17:53.940 issued social

00:17:54.640 security numbers,

00:17:55.900 590,000 in

00:17:57.320 2022,

00:17:58.540 964,000 in

00:18:00.420 2023,

00:18:01.580 and 2.1

00:18:02.620 million in

00:18:03.100 2024, right

00:18:03.960 before Biden

00:18:04.660 left office.

00:18:05.940 Doge also

00:18:06.580 discovered that

00:18:07.620 1.3 million

00:18:08.980 aliens are now

00:18:09.880 receiving Medicaid.

00:18:11.840 Millions received

00:18:12.740 driver's licenses.

00:18:13.940 Some registered

00:18:14.540 to vote, and

00:18:15.180 Doge says some

00:18:15.920 actually did vote.

00:18:17.260 Try and square

00:18:18.260 that against

00:18:19.280 Democrat claims

00:18:20.220 that Musk is

00:18:20.800 destroying social

00:18:21.940 security and

00:18:22.880 cutting Medicaid.

00:18:24.240 He's not

00:18:24.640 destroying.

00:18:25.660 He's weeding

00:18:26.180 out people who

00:18:26.780 don't qualify,

00:18:27.900 who is really

00:18:28.700 guilty of

00:18:29.400 misinformation in

00:18:30.240 this case.

00:18:30.820 It is not

00:18:31.620 Elon Musk.

00:18:32.960 By the way,

00:18:33.500 one of the

00:18:33.860 things that he

00:18:34.300 said there was

00:18:34.960 we were mailing

00:18:35.680 out these

00:18:36.440 social security

00:18:37.360 cards to

00:18:38.140 people that

00:18:38.640 had no

00:18:39.320 proof of

00:18:40.000 who they

00:18:40.280 were,

00:18:40.920 no proof of

00:18:41.660 identity,

00:18:42.040 just here you

00:18:42.560 go, sign up,

00:18:43.440 and bam, 0.58

00:18:43.860 we'll give you

00:18:44.180 a bunch of

00:18:44.540 government aid,

00:18:45.060 including, as he

00:18:46.180 mentioned there,

00:18:46.580 Medicaid.

00:18:47.580 Yeah, no, it's

00:18:48.120 an amazing

00:18:48.560 quote.

00:18:49.260 No interview,

00:18:50.500 no proof of

00:18:51.540 identity, just

00:18:52.980 put it in the

00:18:53.720 mail.

00:18:54.600 And the

00:18:55.140 important thing

00:18:55.720 to understand,

00:18:56.400 this was not

00:18:57.160 by accident.

00:18:58.500 This is not

00:18:59.340 because the

00:19:00.140 Biden administration 0.83

00:19:01.260 was incompetent. 0.84

00:19:02.840 It's not because 0.98

00:19:03.620 they're lazy.

00:19:05.000 This was their 0.73

00:19:06.460 intention.

00:19:07.260 You don't go

00:19:07.900 from 200,000

00:19:09.200 to 2 million

00:19:10.480 in four years

00:19:11.520 by accident.

00:19:13.000 They made

00:19:14.640 a conscious

00:19:15.180 decision.

00:19:16.320 Number one,

00:19:16.960 the 12 million

00:19:17.600 illegal immigrants

00:19:18.360 that invaded 0.77

00:19:19.040 this country

00:19:19.700 under Joe

00:19:20.180 Biden,

00:19:21.080 they made

00:19:21.540 a conscious

00:19:21.980 decision,

00:19:22.640 let's open

00:19:23.080 up our

00:19:23.400 borders,

00:19:23.840 we want

00:19:24.200 this to

00:19:24.540 happen.

00:19:25.320 Number two,

00:19:26.160 the 4 million

00:19:27.240 non-citizens

00:19:28.140 who got

00:19:28.440 social security

00:19:28.980 numbers,

00:19:29.740 they made

00:19:30.220 a conscious

00:19:30.660 decision.

00:19:31.440 We want

00:19:32.060 every one

00:19:33.160 of them,

00:19:33.600 look,

00:19:34.100 the reason

00:19:34.820 why,

00:19:35.600 you know,

00:19:36.000 I've had

00:19:36.280 people ask

00:19:36.720 me,

00:19:37.000 why would

00:19:37.480 the Democrats

00:19:38.020 allow this

00:19:39.540 horrific invasion?

00:19:40.460 It hurt them

00:19:40.980 politically,

00:19:41.460 it hurt them

00:19:41.840 badly.

00:19:43.100 Don't any

00:19:43.960 of them

00:19:44.280 say,

00:19:44.600 gosh,

00:19:44.920 this is

00:19:45.260 egregious?

00:19:46.060 And it's

00:19:47.060 a simple

00:19:47.500 political

00:19:47.920 calculus.

00:19:49.020 I believe

00:19:49.620 the Democrats

00:19:50.400 decided every

00:19:51.720 illegal immigrant

00:19:52.400 in America

00:19:53.200 is a future

00:19:53.880 Democrat voter,

00:19:55.200 and so

00:19:56.100 we'll take

00:19:57.400 12 million,

00:19:58.300 even if it

00:19:58.760 includes murderers

00:19:59.800 and rapists 0.96

00:20:00.280 and child 0.99

00:20:00.720 molesters

00:20:01.140 and gang

00:20:02.360 members,

00:20:02.840 because we

00:20:04.240 want power.

00:20:05.820 And so

00:20:06.260 hand-in-hand

00:20:07.180 with that

00:20:07.780 is giving

00:20:08.860 them social

00:20:09.460 security numbers

00:20:10.240 even if

00:20:10.840 it's

00:20:11.080 fraudulent,

00:20:12.160 they don't

00:20:12.780 care,

00:20:13.520 and this

00:20:14.260 is yet

00:20:14.840 another

00:20:15.160 example

00:20:15.760 of the

00:20:16.600 abuse of

00:20:17.240 power we've

00:20:17.880 seen over

00:20:18.280 the last

00:20:18.860 four years

00:20:19.900 in particular

00:20:20.600 that is being

00:20:21.720 exposed by

00:20:22.620 Elon Musk

00:20:23.280 and by

00:20:23.780 President Trump.

00:20:25.320 So how do

00:20:25.760 we turn

00:20:26.220 this off?

00:20:26.900 I mean,

00:20:27.220 there's this

00:20:27.900 many that are

00:20:28.480 out there,

00:20:29.000 and if you

00:20:29.340 go back over

00:20:30.040 the numbers

00:20:30.500 that you

00:20:30.940 mentioned

00:20:31.920 and that

00:20:33.080 Stuart

00:20:33.600 mentioned

00:20:34.000 there,

00:20:34.440 the number

00:20:35.020 of people

00:20:35.740 that got

00:20:37.040 these social

00:20:37.580 security cards

00:20:38.740 just in

00:20:39.900 the fiscal

00:20:40.320 year 2024

00:20:41.000 over 2

00:20:41.860 million,

00:20:42.620 about a

00:20:43.100 million and

00:20:43.480 23,

00:20:44.560 500 or

00:20:45.260 90,000,

00:20:46.000 almost 600,022

00:20:47.080 and 270,000

00:20:48.720 in 2021.

00:20:49.680 How do we

00:20:50.120 turn those

00:20:50.700 off?

00:20:51.220 How do we

00:20:51.660 say, no,

00:20:52.700 you don't

00:20:53.080 need this,

00:20:53.780 and you were

00:20:54.460 given, this was

00:20:55.420 abuse of power,

00:20:56.880 no, we're not

00:20:57.620 going to have you

00:20:58.220 getting all this

00:20:58.840 free government

00:20:59.320 aid.

00:20:59.980 Is that where

00:21:00.660 Congress has to

00:21:01.500 step in and

00:21:01.980 say, hey, we

00:21:02.980 got to go back

00:21:03.660 through all these

00:21:04.440 non-citizens and

00:21:05.120 social security numbers

00:21:05.960 that have been

00:21:06.300 issued and

00:21:06.860 connect the dots

00:21:08.340 of those that

00:21:09.460 were issued,

00:21:10.100 are you getting

00:21:10.840 government aid?

00:21:12.240 Yes, Congress

00:21:13.520 should act, but

00:21:14.420 at the same time,

00:21:15.760 I think the

00:21:16.240 Trump administration

00:21:16.920 has ample

00:21:17.800 authority to act,

00:21:18.700 and I think

00:21:19.100 Elon Musk

00:21:19.800 views that really

00:21:21.100 as a very

00:21:21.640 significant part

00:21:22.440 of his mandate.

00:21:23.520 You know, one

00:21:23.900 of the things

00:21:24.340 Stuart Varney

00:21:25.300 reported on,

00:21:26.120 he said,

00:21:26.480 quote,

00:21:27.380 Doge also

00:21:28.300 discovered that

00:21:29.840 1.3 million

00:21:32.220 aliens are now

00:21:34.120 receiving Medicaid,

00:21:35.960 millions received

00:21:37.340 driver's licenses,

00:21:39.020 some registered

00:21:39.880 to vote,

00:21:41.060 and Doge

00:21:41.700 said some

00:21:42.360 actually did

00:21:43.160 vote.

00:21:43.820 Try and square

00:21:44.620 that against

00:21:45.240 Democrat claims

00:21:46.200 that Musk is

00:21:46.920 destroying Social

00:21:48.300 Security and

00:21:48.920 cutting Medicaid.

00:21:50.160 He's not

00:21:50.760 destroying,

00:21:51.720 he's weeding

00:21:52.620 out people

00:21:53.220 who don't

00:21:53.640 qualify.

00:21:54.680 Who's really

00:21:55.440 guilty of

00:21:56.080 misinformation

00:21:56.500 in this case?

00:21:57.940 It's not

00:21:58.800 Elon Musk.

00:22:00.240 And that point,

00:22:01.260 I think,

00:22:01.620 is exactly right,

00:22:02.740 that I think

00:22:03.580 the Trump

00:22:03.960 administration

00:22:04.660 has a real

00:22:05.700 mandate to

00:22:06.340 go find

00:22:07.180 waste,

00:22:08.160 fraud,

00:22:08.440 and abuse

00:22:08.840 and go

00:22:09.260 find illegal

00:22:10.040 immigrants that 0.85

00:22:10.800 are wrongly

00:22:11.560 receiving government

00:22:12.620 benefits and

00:22:13.600 cut them off.

00:22:14.360 And I think 0.97

00:22:14.660 Congress should

00:22:15.220 back them up,

00:22:15.960 but I also

00:22:16.620 think the

00:22:16.980 Trump administration

00:22:17.680 is going to

00:22:18.460 do so on

00:22:19.080 its own,

00:22:19.500 and I think

00:22:19.800 that's fantastic.

00:22:21.220 Canadian women

00:22:22.020 are looking for

00:22:22.700 more.

00:22:23.340 More out of

00:22:23.720 themselves,

00:22:24.400 their businesses,

00:22:25.340 their elected

00:22:25.780 leaders,

00:22:26.300 and the world

00:22:26.880 around them.

00:22:27.500 And that's

00:22:27.880 why we're

00:22:28.180 thrilled to

00:22:28.680 introduce the

00:22:29.520 Honest Talk

00:22:30.180 podcast.

00:22:31.260 I'm Jennifer

00:22:31.780 Stewart.

00:22:32.440 And I'm

00:22:32.760 Catherine Clark.

00:22:33.400 And in this

00:22:34.140 podcast,

00:22:34.820 we interview

00:22:35.280 Canada's most

00:22:36.080 inspiring women,

00:22:37.280 entrepreneurs,

00:22:38.120 artists,

00:22:38.780 athletes,

00:22:39.400 politicians,

00:22:40.100 and newsmakers,

00:22:40.980 all at different

00:22:41.660 stages of their

00:22:42.540 journey.

00:22:43.160 So if you're

00:22:43.940 looking to

00:22:44.380 connect,

00:22:44.980 then we hope

00:22:45.420 you'll join us.

00:22:46.400 Listen to the

00:22:46.820 Honest Talk

00:22:47.240 podcast on

00:22:47.980 iHeartRadio or

00:22:49.000 wherever you

00:22:49.540 listen to your

00:22:49.980 podcasts.

00:22:52.240 Senator,

00:22:52.820 there's also

00:22:53.240 another important

00:22:54.000 story that is

00:22:54.860 one that is,

00:22:56.440 I think,

00:22:57.000 exciting for

00:22:57.720 transparency,

00:22:58.460 but also

00:22:59.480 frustrating at the

00:23:00.480 same time.

00:23:01.180 you have

00:23:02.900 opened an

00:23:03.500 investigation into

00:23:04.760 U.S.

00:23:05.720 fencing over

00:23:07.240 their trans

00:23:08.120 athlete policy.

00:23:09.780 Give us the

00:23:10.280 backstory on

00:23:11.100 this and

00:23:12.200 why you're

00:23:13.100 so involved.

00:23:14.320 So,

00:23:14.960 USA fencing

00:23:16.160 has received

00:23:18.740 widespread

00:23:19.220 criticism for

00:23:20.200 something that

00:23:20.600 happened last

00:23:21.160 week.

00:23:22.220 Stephanie

00:23:22.520 Turner,

00:23:23.380 who's a

00:23:23.760 female fencer,

00:23:25.260 she refused to

00:23:26.360 compete against a

00:23:27.300 transgender opponent,

00:23:28.380 a biological male

00:23:30.100 who decided that

00:23:32.220 he was a she,

00:23:33.820 and what

00:23:34.980 happened is

00:23:35.660 Stephanie Turner,

00:23:37.020 rather than

00:23:37.620 compete against

00:23:38.400 this biological

00:23:39.160 male,

00:23:40.200 Stephanie Turner

00:23:40.740 took a knee,

00:23:41.940 and as a

00:23:43.240 result,

00:23:44.000 she was

00:23:44.340 disqualified

00:23:45.140 from the

00:23:46.340 tournament.

00:23:46.780 She was given

00:23:47.240 a black card

00:23:48.200 and disqualified

00:23:49.360 from the

00:23:49.800 tournament.

00:23:50.180 It was

00:23:50.360 treated as

00:23:51.680 forfeiting.

00:23:54.480 Incredible.

00:23:54.820 And I saw

00:23:56.660 this,

00:23:57.040 frankly,

00:23:57.660 I saw this

00:23:58.180 on X,

00:23:59.200 I saw this

00:23:59.620 on Twitter,

00:24:00.580 and I thought

00:24:01.560 this was

00:24:01.920 outrageous

00:24:02.380 because women 0.99

00:24:03.900 should not

00:24:04.540 be forced

00:24:05.100 to compete

00:24:05.540 against men

00:24:06.260 in sports.

00:24:07.080 That's not

00:24:07.800 right.

00:24:08.680 Now,

00:24:09.560 as you know,

00:24:10.960 I am the

00:24:11.520 chairman of

00:24:12.580 the Senate

00:24:12.940 Committee on

00:24:13.500 Commerce,

00:24:14.080 Science,

00:24:14.340 and Transportation.

00:24:15.400 The Commerce

00:24:16.020 Committee has

00:24:16.600 massive

00:24:17.160 jurisdiction,

00:24:17.900 has jurisdiction

00:24:18.460 over roughly

00:24:19.260 40% of the

00:24:20.760 U.S.

00:24:21.060 economy.

00:24:21.780 One of the

00:24:22.360 things we have

00:24:22.940 jurisdiction over

00:24:23.840 is sports.

00:24:25.260 We have a

00:24:25.840 jurisdiction over

00:24:26.980 collegiate sports,

00:24:29.040 Olympic sports,

00:24:30.720 and any kind

00:24:32.100 of sports

00:24:32.680 competition.

00:24:34.240 And USA

00:24:35.160 Fencing is

00:24:36.540 explicitly,

00:24:38.320 it is the

00:24:40.700 vehicle through

00:24:42.680 which the

00:24:44.300 American fencing

00:24:45.680 team in the

00:24:46.280 Olympics is

00:24:46.800 chosen.

00:24:47.580 And so,

00:24:48.360 last week,

00:24:49.400 I launched an

00:24:50.220 investigation,

00:24:52.000 and I sent

00:24:53.500 an oversight

00:24:55.500 letter to

00:24:56.020 USA Fencing

00:24:56.880 asking for

00:24:58.680 the documents

00:24:59.460 on what

00:25:00.520 their policy

00:25:01.160 is,

00:25:02.040 how many

00:25:02.620 transgender

00:25:03.280 athletes have

00:25:04.240 attempted to

00:25:04.800 compete,

00:25:05.580 how many

00:25:06.400 women they 0.59

00:25:07.020 have disqualified

00:25:07.820 for declining

00:25:08.560 to compete,

00:25:09.460 how many

00:25:09.980 injuries have

00:25:10.680 occurred.

00:25:11.120 Look,

00:25:11.360 there are

00:25:11.580 biological

00:25:12.380 differences.

00:25:13.740 Men are

00:25:14.440 made differently

00:25:15.240 than women, 0.97

00:25:15.940 and we've

00:25:16.500 seen in many

00:25:17.060 other sports

00:25:17.780 significant

00:25:18.960 injuries from

00:25:20.280 women being

00:25:21.420 forced to

00:25:21.960 compete against

00:25:22.480 biological men.

00:25:24.120 And at the

00:25:24.520 end of the

00:25:24.920 day,

00:25:26.160 Congress has

00:25:28.000 a very direct

00:25:29.000 remedy,

00:25:30.460 which is we

00:25:31.300 have the

00:25:31.620 ability to

00:25:32.800 cease the

00:25:34.500 designation of

00:25:35.540 USA Fencing

00:25:36.360 as the

00:25:37.540 organization that

00:25:38.560 chooses U.S.

00:25:39.520 Olympic athletes.

00:25:41.040 And so,

00:25:42.200 this oversight

00:25:43.120 is an effort.

00:25:43.860 I want to get

00:25:44.400 them to change

00:25:45.060 their policy.

00:25:45.820 I want to get

00:25:46.420 them to protect

00:25:47.300 women. 0.81

00:25:48.360 I think women's 1.00

00:25:49.380 sports matters,

00:25:50.260 girls' 0.95

00:25:50.480 sports matters,

00:25:51.520 and I don't

00:25:52.080 think any

00:25:52.520 woman should 1.00

00:25:53.020 be forced to

00:25:53.600 compete against

00:25:54.160 a man in

00:25:54.660 sports.

00:25:55.060 I don't think

00:25:55.460 any girl should 1.00

00:25:56.540 be forced to

00:25:57.160 compete against

00:25:57.680 a boy in

00:25:58.140 sports.

00:25:59.140 What does it

00:26:00.040 look like if

00:26:00.660 they're actually

00:26:01.140 held accountable

00:26:01.760 for this?

00:26:02.840 What it looks

00:26:03.600 like is they

00:26:04.060 change their

00:26:04.560 policies.

00:26:05.040 That is my

00:26:07.040 objective here,

00:26:08.520 is to change

00:26:09.800 the policy so

00:26:10.880 that you don't

00:26:12.440 end up having

00:26:13.500 women discriminated 1.00

00:26:15.700 against and put

00:26:16.560 in a position

00:26:17.460 where they're

00:26:19.000 competing unfairly,

00:26:20.220 where they're

00:26:21.080 put in a

00:26:21.480 position where

00:26:22.160 they're risking

00:26:22.820 real injuries.

00:26:26.820 It'll be very

00:26:27.280 interesting to see

00:26:27.880 what that injury

00:26:28.500 report looks like.

00:26:29.520 Is there a

00:26:30.000 timeline for

00:26:30.900 them getting

00:26:31.280 back to you

00:26:31.960 with this

00:26:32.360 request?

00:26:33.700 Sure.

00:26:34.300 So here's

00:26:34.960 what I said

00:26:35.500 in my letter.

00:26:36.440 I wrote it to

00:26:37.380 the chief

00:26:37.980 executive officer

00:26:38.920 of USA

00:26:39.500 Fencing,

00:26:39.980 and I said,

00:26:40.880 Dear Mr.

00:26:41.340 Andrews,

00:26:41.740 it has come

00:26:42.120 to my attention

00:26:42.640 that USA

00:26:43.120 Fencing is

00:26:43.720 still permitting

00:26:44.200 men to

00:26:44.580 compete in

00:26:45.000 women's fencing

00:26:45.960 in violation

00:26:46.520 of federal law.

00:26:47.720 I'm writing

00:26:48.220 to ask why.

00:26:49.020 Your organization

00:26:50.340 is the recognized

00:26:51.280 national governing

00:26:52.080 body for fencing

00:26:53.300 in the United

00:26:53.740 States, but to

00:26:54.800 remain so, it

00:26:56.340 must comply with

00:26:57.240 the United States

00:26:57.900 Olympic and

00:26:59.160 Paralympic Committee

00:27:00.080 rules and

00:27:00.620 procedures, its

00:27:02.140 statutory obligations

00:27:03.280 to protect women,

00:27:04.580 and President

00:27:05.460 Trump's recent

00:27:06.260 executive order on

00:27:07.360 keeping men out 0.99

00:27:08.300 of women's sports.

00:27:09.740 If it does not,

00:27:11.000 and instead continues

00:27:12.160 to put women at 0.79

00:27:12.940 risk, Congress

00:27:14.440 may be forced to

00:27:15.660 terminate USA 0.90

00:27:17.380 fencing's NGB

00:27:18.660 certification.

00:27:20.160 Last week,

00:27:20.900 Stephanie Turner

00:27:21.480 from the Fencing

00:27:22.080 Academy of

00:27:22.700 Philadelphia competed

00:27:24.340 at the USA

00:27:25.160 Fencing Sanction

00:27:26.160 Cherry Blossom

00:27:27.060 Open Circuit at

00:27:28.360 the University of

00:27:29.080 Maryland.

00:27:29.900 The young woman

00:27:30.540 was set to face

00:27:31.420 a man who now

00:27:32.940 claims to be a

00:27:33.680 transgender woman

00:27:34.560 in a fencing

00:27:35.120 bout. 0.65

00:27:35.980 However, at the

00:27:36.600 start of the

00:27:36.980 match, Ms.

00:27:37.880 Turner bravely

00:27:38.600 took a knee and

00:27:39.920 refused to compete

00:27:40.800 against her male

00:27:41.500 opponent.

00:27:42.380 In response to

00:27:43.200 this young woman's

00:27:44.040 courage, tournament

00:27:45.520 officials presented

00:27:46.700 her with a black 0.96

00:27:47.480 card and

00:27:48.780 disqualified her 0.99

00:27:49.740 from the entire

00:27:50.460 tournament.

00:27:51.560 USA's fencing's

00:27:53.140 director of

00:27:53.700 communications,

00:27:55.100 Brian Wendell,

00:27:56.420 said the young

00:27:57.260 woman's disqualification 0.99

00:27:58.480 was, quote,

00:27:59.600 the direct result of

00:28:00.780 her decision to

00:28:01.500 decline to fence

00:28:02.320 an eligible opponent,

00:28:03.880 a supposed violation

00:28:05.200 of the International

00:28:06.040 Fencing Federation

00:28:07.100 rules.

00:28:08.640 He reiterated the

00:28:09.700 USA fencing remains

00:28:11.340 committed to

00:28:12.220 inclusivity.

00:28:13.440 USA fencing's

00:28:14.480 commitment to

00:28:14.980 inclusivity is

00:28:16.640 nothing less than

00:28:17.640 a full-throated

00:28:18.260 support for males

00:28:19.380 competing in

00:28:20.600 women's sports in 0.88

00:28:21.680 violation of

00:28:22.500 federal law.

00:28:23.400 As the recognized

00:28:24.380 NGB for fencing,

00:28:26.340 USA fencing is

00:28:27.320 required to provide,

00:28:28.620 quote, support and

00:28:30.000 encouragement for

00:28:30.860 participation by

00:28:31.880 women where 0.99

00:28:33.020 separate programs for

00:28:34.200 male and female

00:28:35.120 athletes are conducted

00:28:36.160 on a national

00:28:36.820 basis, as well as,

00:28:38.900 quote, safe

00:28:39.520 environments in

00:28:40.300 sports.

00:28:41.380 Failure to do so

00:28:42.580 is grounds for the

00:28:44.340 United States

00:28:45.000 Congress to

00:28:45.700 terminate USA 0.90

00:28:47.400 fencing certification

00:28:48.780 as an NGB.

00:28:50.080 And I go on to

00:28:50.960 say that they have

00:28:52.220 to comply with

00:28:53.040 President Trump's

00:28:53.900 executive order.

00:28:55.180 And I point out

00:28:55.860 that male fencers

00:28:56.720 naturally possess

00:28:58.200 inherent advantages

00:28:59.240 over potential

00:29:00.520 female competitors. 1.00

00:29:02.360 Men tend to be 1.00

00:29:03.080 taller, have greater

00:29:04.580 muscle mass, and

00:29:06.000 more testosterone.

00:29:07.560 All advantages for

00:29:09.100 fencing movements

00:29:09.860 like lunges, jumping,

00:29:11.160 or leg power

00:29:11.780 measures.

00:29:12.200 And I point out

00:29:15.420 that under the

00:29:16.060 rules of the

00:29:16.580 Senate, the

00:29:17.760 Commerce Committee

00:29:18.500 has a duty and

00:29:19.560 an authority to

00:29:20.460 review and study on

00:29:21.340 a continuing basis

00:29:22.300 both sports and

00:29:23.860 sports agencies, such

00:29:25.180 as USA fencing.

00:29:27.040 And so I ask, I

00:29:28.980 ask a whole series

00:29:30.140 of questions, and I

00:29:31.680 want documents and

00:29:32.740 answers by April

00:29:33.640 21st, 2025.

00:29:35.520 And it's documents

00:29:36.900 about their

00:29:37.360 transgender policy,

00:29:38.600 how many men or

00:29:40.180 transgender women

00:29:40.940 currently compete in

00:29:41.840 the women's division? 0.99

00:29:43.160 In the last four

00:29:43.920 years, how many

00:29:44.540 bouts have occurred

00:29:45.340 between transgender 0.87

00:29:46.520 women and women? 1.00

00:29:48.440 How many times did

00:29:49.740 the female athlete 0.89

00:29:50.620 prevail?

00:29:51.080 How many times did

00:29:51.780 the female athlete 0.89

00:29:52.660 suffer an injury?

00:29:53.920 Does USA fencing

00:29:55.360 comply with the

00:29:56.200 president's executive

00:29:57.000 order?

00:29:57.960 And I have a whole

00:29:59.220 series of additional

00:30:00.040 questions.

00:30:01.000 But this is an

00:30:02.180 example of holding

00:30:04.260 to account, and

00:30:05.160 you've got throughout

00:30:06.020 sports, these radical

00:30:08.660 associations, organizations

00:30:10.780 that have embraced

00:30:12.580 the woke ideology.

00:30:13.960 There's no difference

00:30:15.380 between men and

00:30:16.340 women. 0.81

00:30:17.160 And that is

00:30:17.800 profoundly unfair to

00:30:19.760 women and girls

00:30:20.580 competing in sports,

00:30:21.640 and I'm going to do

00:30:22.700 everything I can to

00:30:23.420 stop it.

00:30:23.880 In a minute of that,

00:30:24.540 we'll keep you updated

00:30:25.160 in the story.
