1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: So the state of Maine has become ground zero in

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: the fight to keep men out of women's sports. The state,

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 1: especially the governor there, Janet Mills, has defied President Trump's

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: executive order regarding Title nine to do just that to

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: keep men out of women's sports. And we saw this

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: disagreement really escalate during a recent White House meeting with governors.

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: President Trump specifically called out Mills for what she's doing,

8
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: what the state of Maine is doing, and in response,

9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: the governor said this, I'll see you in court now.

10
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: The state's being investigated, and well, things are going down.

11
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: So to speak.

12
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: But one state representative is taking a strong stance in

13
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: support of women, in support of what President Trump is doing,

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: and as a result, the Democrat controlled the House centered

15
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 1: her for calling out a high school male athlete who

16
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: transitioned to compete in the girls pull vault this year

17
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: as a result of switching over to women's sports. Well,

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: guess what, he won the Class B state championship. So

19
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: what she did, what her next guest did, is she

20
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: posted about it.

21
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: That's all she did.

22
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: She posted her social media saying this is wrong, calling

23
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: out the fact that switching to women's sports helped this

24
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: young man win, that's all she did. And as a result,

25
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: she's had her voting rights revoked by the Democrats in

26
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 1: the state House.

27
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 2: So we'll hear her perspective.

28
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: On this issue, why she refuses to back down, she's

29
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: doubling down, and we'll talk about her state being ground

30
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: zero and all of this. Where does this go politically electorally,

31
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: particularly looking ahead at the midterms, So stay tuned for

32
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: Maine State Representative Laurel Libby. Well, Representative Libby, it's great

33
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: to have you on the show. I've been following your

34
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: story and I also saw that you opposed to vaccine

35
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: laws and mask mandates, so I was like, I need

36
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: to get her own the show. So I can't wait

37
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: to dig into everything that's happening in your state, and

38
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: you know what you've been through recently.

39
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: So I just really appreciate you making the time.

40
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Thanks so much for having me on. Yeah, we

41
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 3: have a long history of tyranny. There's all kinds of

42
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 3: stuff we could talk about regarding me.

43
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: It sounds fun there, I'm sure fun in parentheses. Right.

44
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's start at the beginning. So Maine's

45
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: Democrat controlled the House. They voted to censure you and

46
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: strip you of your voting rates. Why let's start from

47
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: the beginning, give us the backstory.

48
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, about a month ago now, President Trump issued

49
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 3: an executive order that biological males could not participate in girls' sports,

50
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 3: common sense policy finally being implemented. But the powers that

51
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: be in Maine, namely the Main Principles Association, came out

52
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 3: several days later and said, we are not going to

53
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 3: abide by this EO. We are going to con you

54
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 3: with our policy that allows biological males to participate in girls' sports.

55
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 3: And so I shared that information online and a couple

56
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 3: folks reached out to me and said, you know, there

57
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 3: is a biological male who is probably going to win

58
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 3: a girl's pole vault championship here in our state in

59
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks. And so sure enough he did,

60
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 3: and that night that he won the girls state championship

61
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 3: for pole vault in Maine. I posted side by side

62
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 3: images of this young man the previous year pole vaulting

63
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: as a male, standing on the podium in fifth place

64
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 3: at a regional meet, and then that night's photo standing

65
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: at the top of the podium with the first place win.

66
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 3: As competing supposedly as a girl. And that post, of

67
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: course sent shock waves not just across main but across

68
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 3: the country. And the Democrats in Maine decided to censure me,

69
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 3: as you say, silence my voice and my vote, as

70
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 3: they said, because I posted photos of a minor. But

71
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 3: we all know the real reason is they don't want

72
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 3: to talk about this policy because of how unpopular it.

73
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: Is well and the irony is.

74
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: So they voted to you know, revoke your voting rights

75
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: in the House.

76
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: And then the Democrats speaker.

77
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: Ended up deleting his exico after trying to silence you.

78
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: So you know, kind of hilaria is that in an

79
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: effort to silence you, he ended up silencing himself, I

80
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: would presume because of the backlash he was receiving.

81
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, a tremendous backlash folks. You know, looking at the

82
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 3: big picture, folks don't support biological males and girls sports,

83
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 3: and so you know, folks reacted strongly and in defense

84
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 3: of girls, in defensive women's rights in our state. And

85
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 3: so then and you have a speaker who silenced a

86
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 3: woman for speaking up for girls.

87
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 2: That was very.

88
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 3: Unpopular, again, not among the Democrat majority in Augusta, but

89
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 3: certainly among my fellow manors who have been speaking up

90
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 3: vigorously in my defense.

91
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 2: And what sort of reaction have you seen.

92
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: I saw inline that it looked like there was a

93
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: rally in supportive keeping men.

94
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:26,799
Speaker 2: Out of women's sports.

95
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: It looked like there was you know, there were hundreds

96
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: of people there kind of walk us through what's happened.

97
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: Since this has all gone down.

98
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 3: The best thing to happen out of this has been

99
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 3: seeing folks speak up. That's really been remarkable. There was

100
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 3: a rally on March first, and folks flocked to Augusta

101
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 3: by the hundreds to protest Governor Male's stance on this

102
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 3: policy and legislative Democrats, and to support females in girls

103
00:05:54,920 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 3: sports and to support the removal of biological males from

104
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 3: girls sports. This is not an isolated incident. There are

105
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 3: other biological males participating in girls sports in Maine, but

106
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 3: this is the first time we've seen people really speaking

107
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 3: up in mass about it, and that's really encouraging to me.

108
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 3: We also saw some young ladies from Maine high school

109
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,119
Speaker 3: students who have been affected in one way or another

110
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 3: by biological males participating in girls sports. Travel to Washington,

111
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 3: d C. To speak up. There, they met with ag

112
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 3: Bondie and a number of other ages to highlight what's

113
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 3: going on in our state. And you know, I'm hopeful

114
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 3: because there are so many folks now speaking up that

115
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: we'll see resolution to this, whether that comes from the

116
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 3: federal government or state, which I think federal is more likely.

117
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: And it means really pretty radical. I mean it is

118
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: radical on some of these issues. I mean, the state

119
00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: has a shield law that protects transgender healthcare provider providers

120
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: providing transgender surgeries from civil or criminal challenges from other states.

121
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: Also allow sixteen and seventeen year olds to receive transgender care,

122
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: including hormone therapy, without parental consent in some states. So

123
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: I mean the state is radical on this. Where do

124
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: you think that the people come down on it in

125
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: the state.

126
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 3: Well, that's really that's really the important question, Lisa, and

127
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 3: I think we're seeing that as main people wake up

128
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 3: to what's going on, they don't support this radical agenda.

129
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 3: And you know, just looking at girls' sports for a minute,

130
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 3: I think the reason that that image that I shared

131
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 3: was so was took off as it did was because

132
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 3: it was that it was a picture and here in

133
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 3: our state, we've been told for a long time, you know,

134
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: it's not happening. There aren't biological males taking girls places.

135
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 3: Is you're making a big deal out of nothing. This

136
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 3: is a nothing burger and just shut up about it.

137
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 3: And that image showed that that's simply not true. And

138
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 3: I think it's helping to highlight some of the other

139
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 3: areas where our state policies do not align with main people.

140
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 3: We don't align with the woke policies that have been

141
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 3: passed over the last couple of years. But it's it's

142
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 3: been done quietly and kind of insidiously without drawing a

143
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 3: lot of attention to it, enabled by mainstream media's you know,

144
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 3: complicitness in it. And so now mein people are kind

145
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 3: of waking up to what's going on in our state,

146
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 3: and I would say that they are displeased. They are

147
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: not in agreement, and so hopefully the Democrats are going

148
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 3: to face a reckoning.

149
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, this is an eighty twenty issue,

150
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 1: at least, the issue.

151
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: Of keeping men out of women's sports.

152
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: Why do you think Democrats keep taking the twenty percent

153
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: on this issue?

154
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know one factor certainly is that

155
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 3: that minority position is. It's a very loud minority. They

156
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 3: are extremely vocal, and you got a lot of folks

157
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 3: in that eighty percent who simply want to live their

158
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 3: lives and be left alone. But they do certainly respond

159
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 3: to the injustice of seeing a boy take a girl's

160
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 3: place on a podium and in sports. But I think

161
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 3: that that very vocal but small minority has convinced people

162
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 3: that they're a larger number and a mightier number than

163
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: they are. And I think in our case here in Maine,

164
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 3: the Democrat majority, a slim majority, I'll tell you, needs

165
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 3: to be reminded that that vocal minority is indeed the minority,

166
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 3: and the majority of people won't stand for this kind

167
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 3: of woke policy.

168
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting because I'm sure you saw that

169
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: Democratic rep Representative Jared Golden has flip flopped on this issue.

170
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 1: You know, he's previously voted to allow men and women's sports,

171
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: and then in a recent interview he said in public

172
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: schools in Maine, biological boys shouldn't compete in sports against

173
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: biological girls. Obviously, the midterms are coming up. Trump won

174
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: his President Trump won his district. In the past election.

175
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: You know, the governor is also up for re election.

176
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: Why do you think Representative Golden is changing his tune

177
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,359
Speaker 1: and how do you think this will all play out electorally?

178
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 3: Interstate Representative Golden, Jared Golden does a brilliant job of

179
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 3: walking this very fine middle line where he's convinced people

180
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 3: he's just your you know, your average manor just like you,

181
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 3: when really, you know, for the vast majority of time

182
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 3: he's voting with the Democrats in GC. But he covers

183
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 3: that well and in this case, he understands that where

184
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 3: public sentiment lies in our state, and that is not

185
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 3: to allow biological males and girls sports. Now he has

186
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 3: I don't believe he has voted the right way in DC.

187
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 3: So he's talking the right message, but I don't think

188
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 3: his votes aligned with that. And he says that the

189
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 3: reason for that is that this is a state's issue

190
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 3: and it shouldn't be handled at the federal level. But that's,

191
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 3: you know, that's just passing the buck, where he is

192
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 3: on the record voting wrong and main people don't align

193
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 3: with his position.

194
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: We've got more of Representative Libby. But first, after more

195
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: than a year of war, terror and pain in Israel.

196
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: All of Israel is broken hearted after learning of the

197
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: tragic deaths of the Babis children who were held hostage

198
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: in Gaza, and so many are still herding throughout the

199
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: Holy Land, where the need for aid continues to grow.

200
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has supported and

201
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: continues to support the families of hostages and other victims

202
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: of the October seventh terror attacks. With your help, I

203
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: have to has provided financial and emotional help to hostages

204
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: in their families and to help those healing and rebuilding

205
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: their broken homes and broken bodies.

206
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: But the real work is just beginning.

207
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: Your gift will help provide critically needed support to families

208
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: in Israel whose lives continue to be destroyed by terror

209
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: and uncertainty as Israel remains surrounded by enemies. Give a

210
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: gift to bless Israel and her people by visiting support

211
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: IFCJ dot org. That's one word support IFCJ dot org.

212
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: Or you can call eight eight eight for a eight

213
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: IFCJ that's eight eight eight for a eight.

214
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 2: I f CJ. Why did you decide to double down?

215
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: Because I believe they told you, Hey, look, if you

216
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: take this down, you know you can vote again. But

217
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: you know you said, you know, the hell with it, right,

218
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that, So why'd you decide to double down?

219
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 3: You know, people responded to the truth, and the truth

220
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 3: is they are biological males participating girls' sports. In my

221
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 3: original post, I simply stated that John had won fifth

222
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 3: place previously and now one first place. As Katie. It

223
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 3: was the truth, and people are tired of having the

224
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 3: truth obfuscated and hidden away, and they want the people

225
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 3: who are supposed leaders to be standing up and not

226
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 3: backing down just because of a bully or a tyrant,

227
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 3: says do x y or Z. And so I won't

228
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 3: apologize for speaking the truth. That's all I did. I

229
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 3: spoke the truth. I said what is actually going on

230
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 3: in our state, and the Democrat majority in the Speaker

231
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 3: don't like the truth being highlighted. And so yes, they've

232
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 3: given me the option that I can apologize and I

233
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 3: can have my vote back, but I won't apologize for

234
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 3: speaking the truth.

235
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: And now there are questions if what they did is

236
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: constitutional or not.

237
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 2: Where do you come down on that? And you know,

238
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 2: is it was it?

239
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 3: I don't believe that this is constitutional for the speaker

240
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 3: to take my vote in my voice. I think it's

241
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 3: an end run around the constitution, which requires two thirds

242
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 3: of my colleagues to vote for my expulsion, and they

243
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 3: know they don't have two thirds, and so they've tried

244
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 3: to do this instead. So I'll have an update for

245
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 3: folks later on today information regarding challenge challenging that in

246
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 3: the courts.

247
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: That's been like for you? I would I would assume

248
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: that you probably have gotten some I mean, obviously a

249
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: lot of support, and I know your social media has grown,

250
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: you know, tremendously as a result of people following your

251
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: story and what you're doing and taking you know, taking

252
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: action and standing firm in that. But you know you've

253
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: also gotten negative comments, maybe even death threats. I'm sure

254
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: it's been interesting in the House. So what's this been

255
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: like for you?

256
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 3: You know, walking back in there a week after being

257
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 3: censured was kind of surreal. It's a weird phenomenon to

258
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 3: walk into the House chamber, sit in my seat and

259
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 3: know that I will not be allowed to vote or

260
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 3: speak on behalf of my constituents. I have nine thousand

261
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 3: folks in my district who, as of right now, their

262
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 3: will is not allowed to be expressed. I was elected

263
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 3: to represent my district, and so it's been a really

264
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 3: strange feeling. Of course, there are folks who who are

265
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 3: not happy about my stance. I've heard from folks on

266
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 3: both sides of the aisle. I would say that breakdown

267
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 3: is around where you find polling that eighty twenty or

268
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 3: even higher towards the ninety ten, with folks who are

269
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 3: cheering me on, yes, continue on, please don't back down, Laurel,

270
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 3: don't apologize, stand your ground, and then folks who are

271
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 3: unhappy about the posts that I made on the other

272
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 3: side of that. I'm encouraged for the future of our

273
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 3: state through seeing the response, in part because I'm seeing

274
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 3: young people stepping up and speaking up. Shortly after this

275
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 3: all occurred, there were some school board meetings where young

276
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 3: people spoke up and spoke out on this policy that

277
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 3: I think, you know, people have been fearful to tackle,

278
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 3: and so I'm thankful that that's part of the outcome,

279
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 3: and I'm really thankful to have had a part in that.

280
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: No, it's interesting because they say that you know, you

281
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: docksed this man, this young man, but you know when

282
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: you went to state championship like that, Like I played

283
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: sports in high school. When you win a state championship

284
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: like that, those pictures end up in newspapers and online.

285
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: You know, like that, it's sort of a ridiculous accusation

286
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: for them to make.

287
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 3: And not only that, you know you've got the nature

288
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 3: where it's a public event. You make the choice to

289
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 3: step up on a public podium. Aren't you proud if

290
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 3: you win a state championship? Isn't this something to be celebrated?

291
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 3: Pictures similar to those that I posted have been posted

292
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 3: in the celebratory context, right saying yay for this biological

293
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 3: male who's breaking barriers and winning in the girls category.

294
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 3: They've been posted in major newspapers and online. But because

295
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 3: my post got a negative reaction from folks who were

296
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 3: seeing the reality for the first time, it's not acceptable.

297
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,479
Speaker 2: How do you think we got to this place?

298
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: Because even looking back, like ten fifteen years ago, I

299
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 1: would never in a millionaires think how pek would have

300
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: to be concerned about men taking titles and championships away

301
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: from women and pretending they're women.

302
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 2: So how do you think we got here as a society?

303
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 3: I think silences consent and you have that small but

304
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 3: very vocal minority who's making a lot of noise and

305
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 3: convincing people that they better be quiet, sit down, take

306
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 3: a back seat, not make waves. And when we're silent,

307
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 3: those of us who hold the common sense view that

308
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 3: biology matters and biological males should not be participating in girls' sports.

309
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 3: If if we sit down and are silent, well, then

310
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 3: that's policy that's going to stand. It's incumbent upon us.

311
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 3: And that's another reason that I won't apologize. It's incumbent

312
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 3: upon us to speak up, speak up for the truth.

313
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: We've got to take a quick commercial break. More on

314
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: all of this on the other side, don't miss it.

315
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: What do you make of this argument? So what the left,

316
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: what they'll say is they'll be like, oh, it's just

317
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: you know, as you pointed out previously, they're like, oh,

318
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 1: we're not saying instances of this happening.

319
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 2: Or they'll make oh, it's just a handful of people.

320
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: We even saw Charlie Baker, the NC double A and

321
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: President not too long ago to Congress say oh, there's

322
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: only like ten cases of this happening up. So they

323
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: try to downplay the numbers. So what would you say

324
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 1: in response to that, Oh, you know, representative, it's just

325
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 1: a few different cases. It's not that big of a deal.

326
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 1: Why are you making such a big deal out of it?

327
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 3: A couple of responses I could give to that. One is,

328
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 3: of course, whatever the number is now, I think it's

329
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 3: likely to grow. But the other answer is, how dare

330
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 3: you minimize the effect on others? When you look at

331
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 3: the girls standing in second place on that podium, they

332
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 3: worked hard for years, They worked hard for years to

333
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 3: get where they are, to achieve what they've achieved, and

334
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 3: their first first place prize has been stolen by a

335
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 3: biological male? How dare we give credence to an argument

336
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,479
Speaker 3: that would allow for any number of females to be

337
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 3: displaced by a biological male. That is, it's unacceptable, whether

338
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 3: it's one or one thousand. When I think about the

339
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 3: ways that women have struggled and fought in very recent history.

340
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 3: I gave an example in the floor speech I attempted

341
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 3: to give about the first woman to run the Boston

342
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 3: Marathon that was in the nineteen set. It was either

343
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 3: the late nineteen sixties or early nineteen seventies, and that

344
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 3: woman was tackled by the race director and he tried

345
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 3: to force her off the course of the Boston Marathon

346
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 3: because women were not allowed to run, and now fifty

347
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 3: years later, we would cheer on a biological male taking

348
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 3: the place of a woman in her rightful place atop

349
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 3: that podium. It is unconscionable that we adults would allow

350
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 3: that to happen to our girls who worked so hard

351
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 3: and and have rights that should be upheld.

352
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 1: And we've also seen some of these young women get

353
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: injured by men and women's sports as well. You know,

354
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: Peyton McNabb, who attended the joint address that President Trump

355
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: gave to Congress UH was partially paralyzed by a man

356
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: and in high school volleyball, or you know, there's a

357
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: Massachusetts field hockey player who had her teeth knocked out

358
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: as a result of a man. So you know, sadly,

359
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: we're putting these young women's lives in danger, you know,

360
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: and obviously that's concerning absolutely.

361
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 3: There's a mom who reached out to me after all

362
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 3: of this went public and she wanted to tell me

363
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 3: about her daughter's case. I don't have permission to tell

364
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 3: the full story publicly yet, and that's one of the

365
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 3: reasons I think that we we see this still going on.

366
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 3: They don't they're not comfortable speaking up yet, and I

367
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 3: understand that because the opposition can be fierce that small

368
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 3: but vocal minority. But her daughter received such a significant

369
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 3: concussion from being attacked on the field of play by

370
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 3: a biological male that she was in and out of

371
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 3: school for the next three months and she still has

372
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 3: long standing repercussions. Meanwhile, the male never even in a

373
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 3: case where it had been a female who did the same,

374
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 3: they would have been red carded and out of the game.

375
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 3: They never had any repercussions whatsoever, despite the fact that

376
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 3: they injured this girl so badly that she went down

377
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 3: and could not get back up.

378
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I played field hockey and high school, and

379
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: you know I got hit in the.

380
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 2: Head with the field hockey ball, and.

381
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,719
Speaker 1: Well one it almost hit me in the temple in

382
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: one instance. The other dropped down. I hit me in

383
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: my forehead. I dropped down two black ice for an

384
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: excited period of time. It took me to the ground.

385
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: That's how hard I was hit. So I can't imagine

386
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: having that ball hit me with any additional force as

387
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: a result of a man. I mean, that would put

388
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: you in the hospital. That's something that could could kill

389
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: you to be honest. So it really is dangerous what

390
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: they're doing. Now, this isn't the first time you've been

391
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: punished by the speaker. You were also punished during COVID.

392
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: Tell us about that story and what happened there.

393
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is kind of round to Lisa. During COVID, Maine,

394
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 3: Maine had some pretty tyrannical policies by this same governor,

395
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 3: and the same speaker was in power in the House.

396
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 3: And so after a year and a half of a

397
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 3: mask mandate, statewide mask mandate, our governor lifted the mask mandate,

398
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 3: but the Speaker insisted that that mask mandate stay in

399
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 3: place for the State House. So main people did not

400
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 3: have to wear a mask any longer throughout the state,

401
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 3: but they did if they wanted to competition their government

402
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 3: in the state House. So I and five other reps

403
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 3: we walked into the Statehouse without masks the following Monday,

404
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 3: and I was promptly stripped of my committee by this

405
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 3: same speaker. So this is, as I said, this is

406
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 3: round two. But you know what, tyrants need a tyrants

407
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 3: need a challenge and need to be need to be

408
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 3: held accountable for what they do. And here in Maine,

409
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 3: we have a long history of tyranny under the current

410
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 3: governor and Democrat majority, and they need to be held

411
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 3: accountable for it.

412
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sensing a pattern with you, But you're my

413
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:38,479
Speaker 1: kind of girls.

414
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 2: I like.

415
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: Standing up for you know what is right, very boldly.

416
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 1: So why did you get into all this to begin with?

417
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: Your mother of five, your small business owner, registered nurse.

418
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: You know, why did you want to get into politics?

419
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 2: It's a messy business.

420
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is a messy business. Boy, you learn how

421
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,479
Speaker 3: messy it is a few years into it. You know.

422
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 3: I was born and raised here in and I love

423
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 3: our state. The negative things that have been brought to

424
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 3: light recently, whether it's the interactions between our governor and

425
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 3: the president and woke policies, notwithstanding, Maine is incredible states beautiful,

426
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 3: The people are wonderful, independent minded folks. I could go

427
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 3: on and on about how amazing our state is. But

428
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,959
Speaker 3: one day back in twenty nineteen, my husband and I

429
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 3: kind of woke up out of a decade of parenting

430
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 3: and said, gosh, our state looks a lot different than

431
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 3: it did when we were growing up. What is going on?

432
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 3: So we started getting involved. The following year realized that

433
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 3: I was going to have to run for state Rep.

434
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 3: Because my state Rep kept voting wrong. So I ran

435
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 3: against a two term Democrat incumbent and booted her out,

436
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 3: took that seat, and this is now my third term.

437
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 3: And I wouldn't say that we have any less tyranny

438
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 3: yet in Maine, but we certainly are a heck of

439
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,719
Speaker 3: a lot closer to gaining a conservative majority. And I

440
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 3: think what gives me the most hope is that I

441
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 3: think folks are really waking up to what is actually

442
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 3: going on in our state. Everybody has that awakening that

443
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 3: I had at a different point, and once we hit

444
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 3: critical mass, I think we're going to see a big

445
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 3: change in our state because the vast majority folks don't

446
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 3: support the agenda that Governor Mills and the Democrats in

447
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 3: the State House are advancing.

448
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: Before we go, Is there anything I missed in the

449
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: conversation about what's happened in Maine and what's happened with

450
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: your case.

451
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 3: I just would emphasize that the genesis of this was

452
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 3: speaking up for girls whose rights in our state are

453
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 3: being infringed. And I don't know if that fix is

454
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 3: going to come at the federal level, or if there

455
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 3: will be a little bit of common sense to come

456
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 3: by way of constituents pushing the House and the Senate

457
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 3: to change our policies. But one way or another, we

458
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 3: need to ensure that we are successful in changing changing

459
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 3: how girls and boys compete in our state. Now, biological

460
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 3: males are no longer allowed to take the place of

461
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 3: our young ladies, and so I encourage folks, whether you're

462
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 3: in Maine or any other state out there, to continue

463
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 3: speaking up. It's the only way we'll see change, whether

464
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 3: it's in Maine, California, or anywhere in between.

465
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: I honorresent, believe in that, and we need bold people

466
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: like you standing up to make a difference. So Representative

467
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: Laurrea Libby, thank you so much for making the time.
