1 00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: We first met Tim sander for years ago. He was 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: a caller. He would call into the show when we 3 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: were really wrong about something and straighten us out. He 4 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 1: was Tim the Lawyer and a gentle He had a 5 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 1: gentle touch, and we liked him. We started having him 6 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: as a guest and uh, Tim sanderfer is his real name, 7 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 1: not just Tim the Lawyer, And he's become a friend 8 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: of the show, and uh he writes books and he's 9 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: in George Will called him a national treasure. Well then 10 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: he met a gal, sweet gal along the way, and 11 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: uh married Christina the Lawyer and Christina sanderfor we also 12 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: have on the show regular regularly, and we're about to. 13 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 1: But before we get her on, I saw she retweeted 14 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: this yesterday about boycotting the Olympics in China, and she 15 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: agreed that the Olympics should not be a platform for 16 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: an authoritarian regime to showcase itself while persuading the rest 17 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 1: of the world to ignore genocide. I think we were 18 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 1: talking earlier about the first of all, the popularity of 19 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: China and the United States has just gone off a cliff. 20 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: The number of people that have a positive view of 21 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: China's now um it's doubled the number of people in 22 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: the Unite State who think China is our number one enemy. 23 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: All of this has happening just a short amount of time, 24 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 1: and we were talking about how various businesses and parts 25 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: of society you're going to have to disentangle from China. 26 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: I think Hollywood's gonna have to, the NBA is going 27 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: to have to all but Apple has to at some point. Oh, 28 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: dozens and dozens and dozens of major international brands and 29 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: American brands in particular, are going to have to go 30 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,559 Speaker 1: through enormously challenging roads to decouple from China. And before 31 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: we get to next year's Olympics in China, I think 32 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: it will become very clear to everyone the idea of 33 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: having Olympics in a country where they have millions of 34 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 1: slaves is insane. Well, let's let's welcome Christina Sander for 35 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: end of the conversation. Christina is the executive vice president 36 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: for the Gold Auterer Institute. She develops policies litigates cases 37 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: advancing health care freedom, free enterprise, private property rights, free speech, 38 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: taxpayer rights, and more. Christina, how are you. I am 39 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: doing great. Thanks so much for having me. It's been 40 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: a while. Yeah, it's been thank you, it's been too long. 41 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: Jack actually just stole my thunder. I was going to 42 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: point out if China were merely engaged in genocide, they'd 43 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: be a better country than they are, because they're simultaneously 44 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: engaged in genocide and slave driving on a scale that 45 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: you know, it's seventeenth century America could hardly dream of. 46 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: You know, it is unconscionable. I know we have a 47 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: lot to talk about in a short amount of time, 48 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: but I'll tell you I think it's unconscionable for Americans, 49 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,399 Speaker 1: for the United States as a country to to participate 50 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: in this, to act like everything is fine, to show 51 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: up and smile and play sports amongst people who are, 52 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: as you say, literally enslaving their people. Um. And it 53 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: really provides some perspective. You know, it's amazing how focused 54 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: people are today in the United States on the things 55 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 1: that we don't have here and that you know, we 56 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: don't have equality among the sexes and the races. And 57 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: I am all I always believe that we should always 58 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: strive to do better to extend the American dream to everyone. 59 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: But while we are saying those things here, people are 60 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: literally slaves in their own homes. Women, I mean to 61 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: be a woman in China, to be a little girl 62 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: born in China. You may not even you may not 63 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: even see adulthood. Uh. It's it's just incredible. And Americans 64 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: need to wake up and understand that. Yeah. We we 65 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: talked regularly about how it's weird looking back that they 66 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 1: had the Olympics in Berlin with Hitler there in the 67 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: stands of nineteen six. But this would be like having 68 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: the Olympics in nineteen forty three in in in Berlin. 69 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: When't we ever, when the world knows what's going on, 70 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: it would be crazy. I I completely agree, could not 71 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: agree more. But you know they don't call me when 72 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: they make these decisions. No, no, nor us. So Christina, 73 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: we know that you and our friends at Pacific Legal 74 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: Foundation are involved in quite an important case in front 75 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals this week. What 76 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,119 Speaker 1: does she tell us about it? Yeah? You know, your 77 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: your legislators out in California are screwing things up again. Um. 78 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: They passed a law that went into effect effect last 79 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: year that says that all publicly traded companies that are 80 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: either incorporated or even just headquartered in the state of 81 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: California have to have a minimum number of women on 82 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: their boards. And so the number starts at one, and 83 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: it goes up based on on the size of the board. 84 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: And if you don't comply, your company is going to 85 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: be subject to all of these fines. And you also 86 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: end up on a government list so that everybody you 87 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: know can chaptise you and talk about how terrible and 88 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: sex is to your company is and and really, at 89 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: the end of the day, I mean, I mean, this 90 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: is a gender quota, and it forces the people who 91 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: vote for board members, so corporate shareholders, to discriminate under law, 92 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: it forces them to take a candidate sex into account 93 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: every single time they vote for a board number. And 94 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: so you know, our our friends at PLF and and 95 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: UH at the gold Water Institute here, we we've gotten involved. 96 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: Um we sued the state where we're file a brief 97 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: in the case. But because this violates the Equal Protection 98 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: ca it is literally forced discrimination. The Constitution says that 99 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: you can't force people to make decisions on the basis 100 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: of sex, and so it's illegal. But I actually think 101 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: it's just incredibly patronizing to women and incredibly immoral for 102 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: all of these men. I mean sorry to say, but 103 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: a male dominated California legislature to tell me where my 104 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: places and how many people that that look or seem 105 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: like me ought to be on corporate boards? Who's throwing 106 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: money behind both sides of this argument? You know, well, 107 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: you know, it's always it's always a little bit hard 108 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: to follow the money trail. But I think this is 109 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: really part of um, just this general sort of growing 110 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: you know, left leaning concern about that we need to 111 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: we need to socially engineer exactly you know, how many women, 112 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: how many people of a certain race that we have 113 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: in every single circumstance, and you know, and on boards 114 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: and incompany ease. And it's part of this just general 115 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: strive to be to be woke into you know, uh 116 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: and so um, so you know, it's it's um, it's 117 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: definitely um. It's definitely something that the left has been 118 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: focusing on. And I think that California is only I mean, 119 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: California is the first date to do this, but they're 120 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: not going to be the last. Right, you know, sometimes 121 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: I'm afraid we're a little too hip for the room 122 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: in terms of being lovers of liberty, especially these people 123 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: come out of public schools and and taking the mainstream media. 124 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: Can you help somebody who's thinking, well, wait a minute, 125 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: more women's on women's listen to me like I'm an 126 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 1: old blues singer, More women on boards of directors, some 127 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: women's um, more women is great. I mean, I'm pro woman. 128 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: I have a couple of daughters. This seems like a 129 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: good policy. Well what's the what's the liberty loving argument 130 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: forgetting the government the hell out of these decisions? Yeah? 131 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: And you know, as a woman, I will say, and 132 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: as a woman who has chosen to, you know, to 133 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: be an executive leadership in an organization, it does make 134 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: me happy to see that, you know, women are making 135 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: tremendous gains in business leadership. There are more women now 136 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: that own their own businesses or that are sitting on 137 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: boards um and and better CEOs than ever before. I 138 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: think it's wonderful. I think it provides a great role 139 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: model for young women that you know, the American dream 140 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: is available to them and they can be anything. The 141 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: problem is that these laws are not based in reality. 142 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: The study after study has shown that it is almost never, 143 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: it is very rare that it is a case of 144 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: genuine discrimination um that you know, a woman may not 145 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: be on a board, or that women may be quote 146 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: unquote underrepresented on a board. The truth is that women 147 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: tend to prefer flexibility. UM. Women are increasingly choosing to 148 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: work in you know, the gig economy, so to to 149 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: drive for uber or lift or to sell things on Etsy. Um. 150 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: Women tend to prefer flexibility so that they can, you know, 151 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: either take care of their families, um, or just have 152 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: different hours. Men tend to prefer your typical nine to 153 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: five and and they look at higher pay and women 154 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: look at benefits. And that is just a on average. 155 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: That's certainly not every woman. It's certainly not me, but 156 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: it's women. It's mostly women's choices that are putting them 157 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: in the situation set there. And and that's not who 158 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: is government to say that that's good or bad? And frankly, 159 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: the degree of hubris is breathtaking to me that government 160 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: is to look at a board and say, okay, there 161 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: should be one woman on this board. I mean, really, 162 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: what is the right number of women? How many women 163 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 1: should can board? How can government know that? Why just one? 164 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 1: Why don't why not don't we say at least you know, um, 165 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, when we set 166 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: these gender quotas that ignore women's preferences, we're also treating 167 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: women as victims, and we are sending to me a 168 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: very terrible message, a message of despair to young women. 169 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: We're telling them that you know, you cannot, without government's help, 170 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: make it to be a CEO or make it on 171 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: a board and women, as you know, so that companies 172 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: can check these boxes and avoid these Finns, they're just 173 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: going to be appointed as tokens for the sake of compliance, 174 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: and that actually reinforces stereo of course, so that the 175 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: first board meeting you'd have, you'd have the women in 176 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: there that are either subtly or or or overtly treated 177 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: as the only reason you're here is they had to 178 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 1: put you here by law absolutely, and that may or 179 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: may not be, you know, the reality, but that's how 180 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: it's going to come off and get his studies have 181 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: shown this that that women who are hired under a 182 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: quota system as opposed to merit, regardless of whether they 183 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: actually do deserve to be, they're they're branded with a 184 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: stigma of incompetence UM, and it makes it difficult for 185 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: them to be treated seriously. And that's my biography title, 186 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: by the way, branded with the stigma of incompetence. You know, 187 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: it's surprisingly fun rate Christina Sander Firs, Executive vice President 188 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,839 Speaker 1: the Goldwater Institute. You know, Christina, those are some absolutely 189 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: great arguments on the merits. I a little uncomfortable even 190 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: arguing it on the Merits. And let me let me 191 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: illustrate it for people. Long ago. Jack and I came 192 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: up with this policy about the show because we have 193 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: a kind of our inner circle and the people who 194 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: help on the show. And and once or twice certain 195 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: rogue members of the team way back in the day, 196 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: like we would have a question about all right, and 197 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,079 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna pick up something ridiculous because this is 198 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: not the point, but should we talk about politics two 199 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: segments in a row? And that person took it upon 200 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: themselves to go to various management personages and say, hey, 201 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 1: A and G are wondering should they do to politics 202 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: segments in a row? And then all of a sudden 203 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: you have the heavy belligerent hand of management that you 204 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: have permitted into the conversation. And I think that the 205 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: gut level understanding people ought to have is for the 206 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: love of James Madison, do not invite the government into 207 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: a room. It should not be because they will never leave. 208 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: Their hand is heavy and cruel and stupid, and generally 209 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: they'll end up taxing you somehow. Absolutely right. Well, look 210 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: this March is women's history month, right, so let's let's 211 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: look at her story. I'm sorry or her story. You're 212 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: not going to say history on this enough hate speech, Christina, 213 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: I'm tgger that is true, you know. I I tend 214 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: to I tend to do that, although it's not it's 215 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: not the women that I'm triggering. Typically it is because 216 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: I'm a libertarian, so I'm triggering the lefties. But so 217 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: let's try it again. March is women's hearty month, is 218 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. It is women's month. Right, 219 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: But but seriously, though, what your your point is well taken, 220 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: because you know, in the not too distant path, gender 221 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: discrimination was actually legally institutionalized in a different way in 222 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: our country. Every single state had laws on the books 223 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: that would, you know, ban women from working in certain 224 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: professions things like teachers, lawyers, bartenders. They would band married 225 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: women for working or even owning property because they said, 226 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: once you're married, your job is to take care of 227 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: your husband and raise your kids. Um laws that impose 228 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 1: maximum hours on how much women can work because women 229 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: are fragile, and you know, they're not able to work 230 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: as long as men. And literally in the nineteen sixties, 231 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: as late as the nineteen sixties, over half of the 232 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: states still excluded women from by law from doing some 233 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: kind of work. And in early feminists fought back against 234 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: this and they said, exactly what you said, that you 235 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: know this, these laws are supposedly well intentioned, that government's 236 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,719 Speaker 1: going to protect women. And they said, no, this is 237 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: treating women as weak and incapable of making their own decisions, 238 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: and it's telling us that we can't shape our own destinies. 239 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: And women fought and fought and fought for true equality 240 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: under the law, and now you know, we basically have that. 241 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: And now we're turning back and we've got, you know, 242 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: predominantly folks on the left that are are going back 243 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: and inviting government back into our lives to tell us 244 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: where we ought to be and what we ought to do. Interesting, yep, well, 245 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: said Christine to Sander for executive vice president with the 246 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: Goldwater Institute. Fighting for your freedom all the time, Christine, 247 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: it's been too long. It won't be so long the 248 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: next time. It's great to talk to you. Hey, so good. 249 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Looking forward to talking to you guys again. 250 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: All right, thanks. I like the herk Stree behind some 251 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: of these stories. Oh my god, you need to stop. 252 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: All right, you're gonna make me vomit. Nobody wants me 253 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,439 Speaker 1: to vomit. Set up some sort of family family Kay 254 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 1: style chain vomitosis. Nobody wants that. Herks three arm and
