1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: We're quickly approaching the endgame of President Trump's plan that

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: have put into effect almost immediately when he came into office.

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: We've been applying a maximum pressure campaign on Iran's oil

4
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: exports to cut off the sources of the regime's funding.

5
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: The Iranian leadership has been hurting the people. They have

6
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: been spreading the money around the globe.

7
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: For proxy wars.

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 3: If you're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with

9
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 3: Ben ferguson.

10
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 4: Good Thursday morning, nice to have you with us on

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 4: the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got two major

12
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 4: stories for you. First up, President Donald Trump and the

13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 4: issue of Iran. Iran is now threatening to kill the

14
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 4: President of the United States of America. So what is

15
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 4: the president response and what's happening on the ground, and

16
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 4: will military action actually happen at the hands of the

17
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 4: President and his orders will break that all down for you.

18
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: In a moment.

19
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 4: Also, we had a big day at the Supreme Court

20
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 4: yesterday dealing with women and men and sports, especially transgenders

21
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 4: trying to take over women sports. Well, now we had

22
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 4: an even bigger day on Capitol Hill, but this time

23
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 4: the radicals on the left sid doctors who can't even

24
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 4: explain if a man can get pregnant.

25
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 2: It was truly incredible.

26
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 4: And we have the audio you have to hear. But

27
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 4: first I want to tell you about our friends over

28
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 4: Patriot Mobile. Every so often, something happens that reminds us

29
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 4: just how fragile our freedoms are. We can't afford to

30
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 4: take our rights for granted. We must draw a line

31
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 4: in the sand, and our friends at Patriot Mobile have

32
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 4: been doing just that for more than twelve years. The

33
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 4: truth is there is only one provider that boldly stands

00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 4: in the gap for Americans who believe freedom is worth

35
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 4: fighting for, and that company is Patriot Mobile. Not only

Speaker 4: and it starts right now.

60
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: Story number one.

61
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 4: Thousands have been killed in Iran by the Iranian regime.

62
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 4: We know that the President and Marco Rubio with the

63
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 4: State Department have been ratching up the pressure on Randa

64
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 4: stop those killings. The White House earlier today was very

65
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 4: busy as the President said this from the Oval Office

66
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 4: about the latest of what he's being told is happening

67
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 4: on the ground.

68
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 5: We've been told that the killing in Iranda is stopping.

69
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 5: It's stopped and stopping, and there's no plan for executions

70
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 5: or an execution or executions.

71
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 6: So I've been to ald that a good authority.

72
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 4: We'll find out about it. The President wasn't done there.

73
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 4: The President and is also now putting major pressure on Iran.

74
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 4: Donald Trump has canceled meetings with Iranian officials, impose a

75
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 4: twenty five percent tariff on countries doing business with Iran,

76
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 4: and suggested that help is on its way for the protesters,

77
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 4: a phrase he has used to signal potential diplomatic or

78
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,239
Speaker 4: even military operations, and the President was also asked about

79
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 4: that and said clearly military options absolutely remain on the table.

80
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 4: The White House also say they have not ruled out

81
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 4: military action, and there have been warnings from US officials

82
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,679
Speaker 4: that very strong responses would follow if Iranian authorities carried

83
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 4: out executions or continued mass killings. Trump's national security team

84
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 4: has been reviewing a range We're being told to potential responses,

85
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 4: including military air strikes. Now, military precautions are also part

86
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 4: of what we're.

87
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: Talking about right now.

88
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 4: Some US personnel in the Middle East have been advised

89
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 4: to reloc ok I make concerns about possible retaliation if

90
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 4: the US were to take action. Iran has also warned

91
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 4: that it would respond to any US strikes. And then

92
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 4: there's been the global reaction beyond the US. European nations

93
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 4: have summoned the Iranian ambassadors, and a bipartison group of

94
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 4: US lawmakers is pushing for measures such as restoring internet

95
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 4: access in Iran to help the free flow of information,

96
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 4: as well as for those on the ground to organize. So,

97
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 4: in short, there's a lot happening in Iran, a lot

98
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 4: that we don't know about because of the blackout of

99
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 4: the Internet and the phones.

100
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: But one thing is for sure.

101
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 4: The President is putting maximum pressure on Iran and is

102
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,119
Speaker 4: making it clear there's a very good chance military action

103
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 4: could be taken against the leadership Iran's authorities are violently suppressing.

104
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 4: We also know large protests and that has already led

105
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 4: to thousands.

106
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: Of deaths and detentions.

107
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 4: President Trump and the White House not only condemning the

108
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 4: crackdown but calling out the rest of the world, saying

109
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 4: it is time for them to stand up to Iran

110
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 4: as well. The White House also keeping diplomatic and military

111
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 4: options on the table. The present clearly working the room

112
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 4: in every direction he can. US policy responses remained fluid

113
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,239
Speaker 4: and under review, as the global pressure is also starting

114
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 4: to mount from other countries that are finally getting on board.

115
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 4: One thing's for sure. All eyes are on Iran, all

116
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 4: eyes are on Tehran, and all eyes are on America

117
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 4: as well. There's many reports now coming out of Iran

118
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 4: that they believe more than fifteen thousand victims may have

119
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 4: either been killed or abducted by the government. There's also

120
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 4: clearly a united front in the US. For example, Representative

121
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 4: Carlos humane As, a Republican from Florida on the Householdland

122
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 4: Security Committee, said this about Congress.

123
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 5: It won't be boots on the ground, but the United

124
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 5: States has demonstrated to the people around the world that

125
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 5: we can touch you anywhere at any time of our choosing.

126
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 5: And when the President is saying that he's going to

127
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 5: have their back, I would heed his words. This president,

128
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 5: when he makes statements like that, usually follows up. And

129
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 5: so when he's saying to the protesters, keep on protesting

130
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 5: because we're going to have your back, I believe this

131
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 5: president is going to have their back.

132
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 4: There's one thing that is for sure. President Trump has

133
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 4: the back of the people that are celebrating in the

134
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 4: streets in Iran and advocating and fighting for their freedom.

135
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 4: There's also another interesting part of this story. Iran has

136
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 4: explicitly threatened to murder President Donald Trump. In the last

137
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 4: twenty four hours, Iranian state TV aired threats against Donald Trump,

138
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 4: saying this time the bullet won't miss, referring to the

139
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 4: attempted assassination of President Donald Trump on the campaign trail.

140
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 4: And even with that happening, it's obvious that the President

141
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 4: of United States of America is making sure that this

142
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 4: isn't personal, but about national secure and about protecting the

143
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 4: people who are trying to get their freedom right now

144
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 4: in the streets of Iran now.

145
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 3: Story number two.

146
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: Yesterday, in Washington, d C.

147
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 4: There was a fight the Supreme Court over men in

148
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 4: women's sports, boys in girls' sports, and the ACLU could

149
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 4: not define what a woman even was in front of

150
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 4: the Supreme Court. While on Capitol Hill there was another

151
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,239
Speaker 4: debate that will also shock you. There was a hearing

152
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 4: in the Senate held under the Health, Education, Labor, and

153
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 4: Pensions Committee, and it was officially focused on the safety

154
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 4: and regulation of abortion pills, including concerns about the use

155
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 4: of the medication mifipristone. Now, this drug has exploded after

156
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 4: the fall of ro v Wade, and as liberals are

157
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 4: trying to do everything they can to put abortions on

158
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 4: demand through pills. Republicans on the panels argued for stricter

159
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 4: oversight and regulations on how these drugs are prescribed and distributed.

160
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 4: Democrats are defending the existing policies and emphasize access as

161
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 4: they describe it to care or abortion on demand now.

162
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 4: A moment that drew national shock and attention involved Senator

163
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 4: Josh Holly, and he was questioning an OBGYN specialist, doctor

164
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 4: Nishe Verma, who was testifying on behalf of physicians for

165
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 4: reproductive health. The exchange centered on whether men can get pregnant,

166
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 4: a question Republicans pressed to highlight what they described as

167
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 4: scientific clarity around biological sex and the context of reproductive health.

168
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 4: Doctor Verma declined to answer with a simple yes or no. Instead,

169
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 4: there was this exchange, I want you to listen to

170
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 4: exactly what the Trump administration is up against and why

171
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 4: it's so important. We have leaders like Sener Holly and

172
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 4: others who are willing to ask simple questions, but demand

173
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 4: answer from the quote leaders of the radical left, including doctors.

174
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 6: Thank you, mister chairman.

175
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 7: Since you bring it up, why don't we to start there,

176
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 7: Doctor Verma, I wasn't sure I understood your answer to

177
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 7: Senator Moody a moment ago, do you think that men

178
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 7: can get pregnant?

179
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,479
Speaker 8: I hesitated there because I wasn't sure where the conversation

180
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 8: was going or what the goal was. I mean, I

181
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 8: do take care of patients with different identities. I take

182
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 8: care of many women. I take care of people with

183
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 8: different identities, and so that's where I paused. I think

184
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 8: I wasn't sure where you were going with that.

185
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 6: Well, the goal is is the truth? So can men

186
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 6: get pregnant?

187
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 9: Again?

188
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 8: The reason I paused there is I'm not really sure

189
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 8: what the goal of the question.

190
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 6: Goal is is to establish a biological reality.

191
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 7: You just said a moment ago that science and evidence

192
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 7: should control, not politics.

193
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 6: So let's just test that proposition. Can men get pregnant?

194
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 9: I take care of people with many identities.

195
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 6: But can men get pregnant?

196
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 8: Many we women that can get pregnant. I do take

197
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 8: care of people that don't identify as women.

198
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 6: Can can men get pregnant?

199
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 9: Again, as I'm saying, let me let me just.

200
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 7: Remind you you testified to a moment ago. Science and

201
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 7: evidence should control, not politics. So should can men get pregnant?

202
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 8: You're a doctor at day, Science and evidence should guide medicine.

203
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 7: I do science that evidence tell us that men can

204
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 7: get pregnant, biological men, can they get pregnant?

205
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 8: I also think yes, no questions like this are a

206
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 8: political tool, and.

207
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 6: No, yes, no questions are about the truth. Doctor.

208
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 7: Let's not make a mockery of this proceeding. This is

209
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 7: about science and evidence. And I'm asking you. You know,

210
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 7: the United States Supreme Court just heard arguments yesterday at

211
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 7: great length on this question. This is not a hypothetical question.

212
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 7: This is not theoretical that affects real people in their

213
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 7: real lives. And you're here as an expert, called by

214
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 7: the other side as an expert, and you've been telling

215
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 7: us that you that you follow right, You're a doctor,

216
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 7: and you follow the science and the evidence. So I

217
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 7: just want to know, based on the science, can men

218
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 7: get pregnant? If that's a yes or no question, it

219
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 7: really is.

220
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 8: I think I think you're trying to reduce the complexity.

221
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 9: Of a low I'm not.

222
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 7: I'm trying to get it's not complex. I'm trying to

223
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 7: get to an answer, and I'm trying to test, frankly,

224
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,359
Speaker 7: your veracity as a medical professional and as a scientist.

225
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 6: Can men get pregnant?

226
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 9: I think you're also conflating this extraordinary.

227
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 7: No, I'm not conflating male and female. There're two different things.

228
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 7: There's biological men and there's biological women. And I want

229
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 7: to know can men get pregnant?

230
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 9: What you were talking about is biology.

231
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 7: You're not going to answer my question iological males. This

232
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 7: isn't hard doctor. Can men get pregnant?

233
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 6: Yes? Or no?

234
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 9: I would be more.

235
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 8: Than happy to have a conversation with you that is

236
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 8: not coming from a place of trying to be polarized

237
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 8: and pushing.

238
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 6: I'm not trying to be polarizing. I'm trying to ask.

239
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 7: I think it is extraordinary that we are here in

240
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 7: hearing about science and about women. And for the record,

241
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 7: it's women who get pregnant, not men. We are here

242
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 7: about the safety of women and science that shows that

243
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 7: this abortion drug causes adverse health events in eleven percent

244
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 7: of cases. That's twenty two times greater than the FDA label.

245
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 7: Another fact you haven't acknowledged, and yet you won't even

246
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 7: acknowledge the basic reality that biological men don't get pregnant.

247
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 7: There's a difference between biological men and biological women. I

248
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 7: just I don't know how we can take you seriously

249
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 7: and your claims to be a person of science, if

250
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 7: you won't level with this on this basic issue.

251
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 6: I thought we were past all of this. Frankly, I

252
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 6: can't believe we're still here talking about this.

253
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 8: I am a person of science, and I'm also someone

254
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 8: here who's here to represent the complex experiences of my patients.

255
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 8: And I don't think polarized languages, language, or questions serve

256
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 8: that goal.

257
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 9: I don't think they serve the American.

258
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 7: It is not polarizing to say that there is a

259
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 7: scientific difference between men and women. And I want this

260
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 7: to be clear and for the record, it is not

261
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 7: polarizing to say that women are a biological reality and

262
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 7: should be treated and protected as such. If that is

263
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 7: not polarizing, that is truth. It is also, by the way,

264
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 7: the United States Constitution, which offers unique protections to women

265
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 7: and a variety of circumstances as women, and your refusal

266
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 7: to recognize women as women and men as men is

267
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 7: deeply corrosive to science, to public trust, and yes to

268
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 7: constitutional protections for women as women. And I think it's

269
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 7: extraordinary that you would sit here in advance a political

270
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 7: agenda that has been thoroughly discredited and rejected by the

271
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 7: American people in this forum. And I'm glad we had

272
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 7: this exchange because it is exceptionally clarifying.

273
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 6: It is also in many ways quite depressing.

274
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 4: It is truly amazing the doctors like Miss Verma decline

275
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 4: or just simply can't answer if a man can get pregnant.

276
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 4: It is sad that we're having to spend the time

277
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 4: in Congress to answer the question about the biological reality

278
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 4: about men not being able to get pregnant and clarity

279
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 4: on a record. This also goes back to concerns about

280
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 4: the safe of women and abortion drugs for women who

281
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 4: are the only sex that can biologically become pregnant. The

282
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 4: good news is now conservatives and this White House are

283
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 4: on the offensive to make sure that these radicals are

284
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 4: held accountable for what they've been teaching and preaching and

285
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 4: the abuse that they've been doing to so many through

286
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 4: the idea that they are somehow administering medicine and reality

287
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 4: is they're just pushing a radical agenda.
