Ted Kruz. 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 2: Nice to have you with us on this Wednesday morning, 3 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 2: and we get to start with good news center, and 4 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 2: that is there are three different rulings that have come 5 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 2: down from the Supreme Court, all in favor of the 6 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 2: Trump administration. 7 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 3: Well, that's right, and it's very encouraging. You know, we've 8 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 3: talked about at length on this podcast how the law 9 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 3: fair that is unfolding against the Trump administration. The pattern 10 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 3: of nationwide injunctions has in the last three months exceeded 11 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 3: what has happened in the last twenty years. It's exceeded 12 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 3: what happened in the entire twentieth century in terms of 13 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 3: the number of nationwide injunctions issued against the Trump administration. Well, 14 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 3: the good news is, in the last couple of days, 15 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 3: we've had not one, not two, but three Supreme Court 16 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 3: victories for the Trump Department of Justice against these nationwide injunctions. 17 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 3: We're going to break down all three of them, and 18 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 3: layout we've talked about on this podcast, how the principal 19 00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 3: check on this abuse of power that's going to be 20 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 3: effective is the appellate process and the Supreme Court. It's encouraging. 21 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 3: Now we have three victories. We're also going to talk 22 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 3: about a new report from DOGE that over four million 23 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 3: social Security numbers were given to illegal aliens, people who 24 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,919 Speaker 3: are not US citizens. And finally, we've seen the growing 25 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 3: pattern of men competing in women's sports. This past week, 26 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 3: it went viral a woman competing and fencing faced a man, 27 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 3: a man identifying as a woman, and she declined to compete. 28 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 3: The woman took a knee and ended up being disqualified. 29 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 3: Disqualified because she declined to compete against a biological man. 30 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: That was wrong. 31 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 3: That was an abuse of power. And as the chairman 32 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 3: of the Senate Commerce Committee, I am holding USA fencing 33 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 3: to account. We're going to explain all of that and 34 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 3: what the consequences are. 35 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, that story is truly shocking. The details are going 36 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: to have for you. 37 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 2: Make sure you take this podcast and you share it 38 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 2: wherever you are on social media because these stories are 39 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: ones that the media is not covering and we need 40 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: your help getting it out there. I also want to 41 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 2: take a moment and tell you about the IFCJ. Israel 42 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 2: is still under attack right now. Missile fire has resumed 43 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,399 Speaker 2: from the houthis from Hesblah and from Hamas and enemies 44 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 2: that are seeking israel destruction is unfortunately what Israel's having 45 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: to deal with every day here in America. We cannot 46 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 2: imagine living under constant threat of terrorism and rocket attacks. 47 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: Well, this is the reality in Israel. 48 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 2: Parents taking their children to school, falling to the ground 49 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 2: to lay on top of their small children, trying to 50 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 2: comfort them as the sirens blair. The next attack against 51 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 2: Israel is happening now with little time to prepare, And 52 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 2: that's why I'm asking for your help. That is also 53 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: why it's so important that you know about the International 54 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 2: Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They provide life saving aid 55 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 2: and security essentials, and your urgently need a gift today 56 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 2: will help provide security essentials like bomb shelters, flat jackets, 57 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 2: and bulletproof vests for the first responders. They also provide 58 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 2: armored security vehicles, armored ambulances, and so much more. So 59 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 2: join me and stand with Israel. You can make a 60 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 2: donation by calling eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ 61 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 2: that's eight eight eight four eight eight four three two five, 62 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 2: or go online to support IFCJ dot org one word 63 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 2: support IFCJ dot org center. This is a big deal 64 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 2: that these rulings that you mentioned in the in the 65 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 2: lead in there in the show, because it's not just one, 66 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: not two, but three victories for the Trump administration and 67 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 2: no one's covering this. 68 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: No, that's exactly right. 69 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 3: And let's start with the most prominent one, which is 70 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 3: the Supreme Court on Monday lifted a judge's order that 71 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 3: had blocked the deportation of suspected Venezuela and gang members 72 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 3: to a to a prison in l Salvador. And it 73 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 3: was the true Trump administration was removing these gang members 74 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 3: under an eighteenth century law known as the Alien Enemies Act. 75 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 3: And you'll recall a district judge, James Boseberg, had ordered 76 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 3: the halt of the removals under the Act, and in fact, 77 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 3: President Trump had called for Judge Boseberg's impeachment as a 78 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 3: result of that. Well, the Court issued a five to 79 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 3: four decision that blocked the judge's order stopping the deportation. 80 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 3: The vote was five to four, so it was close, 81 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 3: five to four. It was a procureum decision. In the 82 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 3: majority were the Chief Justice Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, 83 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 3: and Brett Kavanaugh, and a whole lot of attention has 84 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 3: been focused on the fact that amy Cony Barrett voted 85 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 3: with the liberals on this, and so it was a 86 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 3: five to Ford decision. Nonetheless, it's a victory in that 87 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 3: what the court concluded was that if you wanted to 88 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 3: challenge the deportation, that you could not do so in 89 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 3: d C, which is where they filed the case. Instead, 90 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 3: you had to file it as a habeas corpus petition. 91 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 3: What is a habeas corpus petition? It Habeas corpus is 92 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 3: a Latin term. It means produced the body, and habeas 93 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 3: corpus is a civil avenue to justify someone's unlawful detention. 94 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 3: But the court said, look, these individuals, these gang members 95 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 3: were detained at the time the case was filed in 96 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 3: South Texas. They said, the right place to file the 97 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 3: case is in South Texas, not d C. They weren't 98 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,239 Speaker 3: being held in DC, they were being held. 99 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: In South Texas. 100 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 3: So the right avenue to challenge this was to file 101 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 3: a habeas corpus petition in South Texas. And they said 102 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 3: you shouldn't do so as a class action on behalf 103 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 3: of everyone, which is what had been done here. Rather 104 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 3: each individual defendant if you have a claim. So look, 105 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 3: if you've been detained, if you're getting ready to be deported, 106 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 3: and they say you're a Venezuelan gang member, if you 107 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 3: have a claim that I'm not a Venezuelan gang member, 108 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 3: the facts are wrong. They said, the avenue to do 109 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 3: that is go and file a hevieas corpus petition in 110 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 3: the location where you're being detained. That was five to four. 111 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 3: I wish it had been nine to zero. That was 112 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 3: clearly right now. The court did say that anyone who 113 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 3: is being detained and being deported, they should have reasonable 114 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 3: notice under due process to have the challenge to the 115 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 3: opportunity to challenge their detention and deportation. But this victory 116 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 3: is a big, big victory in what had been I 117 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 3: think in egregious order from the district court trying to 118 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 3: stop the deportation of really, really dangerous criminals. 119 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you a question because you mentioned 120 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 2: it there, and I think it'd be crazy if I 121 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 2: didn't ask it, because there's some of you asking why 122 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 2: was there a what many would consider a conservative justice 123 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 2: go with the Democrats in this decision. As an aside 124 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 2: here that was obviously part of the headline that we 125 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 2: saw on social media. 126 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I don't have a good answer. I think 127 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 3: it is unfortunate. I disagree with her decision on that. 128 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 3: In this case, look the left, but both the Democrats 129 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 3: and activist judges and left wing radical legal groups are 130 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 3: challenging any deportation. The Trump administration relied on a law 131 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 3: called the Alien Enemies Act, which is a law that 132 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 3: was signed into law by in seventeen ninety eight by 133 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 3: President John Adams. And what the Trump administration did is 134 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 3: it classified a transnational criminal gang trender Aragua as an 135 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 3: arm of a hostile government Venezuela. And based on that law, 136 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 3: there are very broad legal authorities to deport those who 137 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 3: are part of a hostile government waging war on the 138 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 3: United States. That was the basis of the deportations. The 139 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 3: district judge, Judge Boseburg, had tried to shut down all 140 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 3: these deportations, and thankfully the Supreme Court, by a votified 141 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 3: to four ended that and said, if you got an 142 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 3: issue with a particular deportation, bring a case, but bring 143 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 3: it in the location where the individual is detained. And 144 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 3: they did say you got to give them a reasonable 145 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 3: time to challenge it. And so that that presumably will 146 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 3: slow down the deportation slightly, but I don't expect it 147 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 3: will slow it down much. It may slow it down 148 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 3: a matter of days rather than months. 149 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 2: And to be clear, this is a victory because it 150 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 2: allows the President to continue doing what he wanted to 151 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 2: do when it comes to deportations. If this would have 152 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 2: gone the other way, this could have been catastrophic. 153 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 3: No, that's exactly right. Look, the election in November was 154 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 3: a clear mandate to secure the border and to end 155 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 3: the invasion at our southern border, and the Trump administration 156 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 3: has been following through on that mandate and has been 157 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 3: deporting vast numbers of criminal illealiens. The left is losing 158 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 3: their mind, and that that is was the basis of 159 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 3: this injunction. Thankfully the Supreme Court reversed that. Now there's 160 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 3: another victory that occurred, which is another five to four 161 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 3: decision where the Supreme Court concluded that it was okay 162 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 3: to cancel six hundred million dollars in teacher training grants, 163 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 3: sixty five million of that had yet to be distributed. 164 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 3: And there you had a different majority. You had Clarence Thomas, 165 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 3: Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsich, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Cony Barrett. 166 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 3: So she was in the five to four. The Chief 167 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 3: Justice joined the liberals. So in the Venezuelan case, Amy 168 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,599 Speaker 3: Cony Barrett joined the liberals. In the case about canceling 169 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 3: the teacher training grants, it was the Chief Justice who 170 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 3: joined the liberals. And what the court concluded in this 171 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 3: other case is that that should have been brought in 172 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 3: the Court of Federal Claims. That if you have a 173 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 3: claim against money being given from the federal government, that 174 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 3: the proper venue for challenging that is the Court of 175 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 3: Federal Claims. Now, look, some might say, God, these decisions 176 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 3: are narrow and technical, and they are. But that being said, 177 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 3: they're nonetheless victories against district judges that are engaged in 178 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 3: law fair that are trying to shut down the Trump 179 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 3: administration's agenda and the agenda they were elected to implement 180 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 3: by the American people. 181 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 2: So when you look at this, these really these three 182 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 2: big decisions, does this also empower the Trump team and 183 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 2: administration to do their job now saying hey, we now 184 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 2: know that when we go to court, we're going to 185 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 2: be our site is going to be at least listened to, 186 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 2: and it's not stacked against us, and we're doing the 187 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 2: right thing within the law. 188 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 3: So yes and no. No, we've only talked about two 189 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 3: of the cases. Let me talk about the third one. 190 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 3: The third one was there was an order from a 191 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 3: district judge that was ordering the Trump administration to reinstate 192 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 3: sixteen thousand federal employees that it had fired. Yeah, and 193 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 3: that went to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court 194 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 3: actually by a voter seven to two, reversed it. And 195 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 3: and and and they said, uh, that that the these 196 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 3: federal employees did not have to be reinstated. The two 197 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 3: liberal justices that dissented were Sonya Sotomayor and Katanji Brown Jackson. 198 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 3: But the full court what happened in that case, It 199 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 3: was an injunction that was issued by Judge William Alsop 200 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 3: who was who's a district judge in San Francisco, and 201 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 3: he required the reinstatement of probationary employments at multiple agencies 202 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 3: that the Trump administration had sought to dismiss. Uh. The 203 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 3: judge was appointed by Bill Clinton, and the judge concluded 204 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 3: that the administration hadn't followed the proper procedures for the 205 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 3: for the firing. Well the Supreme Court disagreed, and seven 206 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 3: to they reversed that, which is yet another victory. So 207 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 3: if you look at the combination of these, you have 208 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 3: a victory for deporting violent criminal gang member illegal aliens. 209 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 3: You have a victory for canceling grants that were given 210 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 3: and grants that were given, in the Trump Administration's view, inappropriately. 211 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 3: And you have a victory for dismissing sixteen thousand, primarily 212 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 3: probationary employees from federal agencies. In all three of them, 213 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 3: you had federal district judges that had stepped in and said, no, 214 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 3: we're going to stop you from carrying out this agenda. 215 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 3: And in all three of them, the Supreme Court, albeit 216 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 3: on technical grounds, reversed or vacated the district court's orders. 217 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 3: This is a very, very good development because it's exactly 218 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 3: what we talked about the remedy for lawless decisions by 219 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 3: district courts. The best remedy is the appellate process and 220 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 3: the US Supreme Court. Now we've talked about on this podcast, 221 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 3: how there are other remedies, how Congress could pass legislation 222 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 3: limiting nationwide injunctions support that. In fact, i'm the co 223 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 3: sponsor of legislation to do that, but the problem is 224 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 3: the Democrats will filibuster that. It will never get sixty votes. 225 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 3: Another possible remedies impeachment. It is possible the House of 226 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 3: Representatives could impeach a district judge who had egregiously abused 227 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 3: his power. That takes simply a majority vote in the 228 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 3: House of Representatives two utter and eighteen. The Republicans could 229 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 3: vote to do that. However, to convict a judge under 230 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 3: the constitution takes two thirds of the Senate, which means 231 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 3: we would need a lot of Democrats. We would get zero, 232 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 3: So impeachment will not be an effective remedy either. That 233 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 3: means we really are dependent on the pellet process of 234 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 3: the Supreme Court. And I'm very encouraged to have three 235 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 3: victories within just a couple of days. 236 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, these are big victories. 237 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 2: And this is also, like you said, gonna encourage I 238 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 2: think the Trump administration to continue to make bold moves 239 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 2: and say, hey, you guys want to sue, go ahead, 240 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 2: We'll see you in court and we'll see what happens there. 241 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: Say about Patriot Mobile real quick. 242 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 2: If you've got a cell phone and your cell phone 243 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 2: is not with Patriot Mobile, then the question I got 244 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 2: to ask you is why why have you not made 245 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 2: the switch?

And this was all 282 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 2: done on purpose by the prior administration. 283 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly right. You know, there's a great story 284 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 3: about this in the Daily Wire.

That was the tip 299 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 4: of the iceberg. 300 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 1: Now here's the story. 301 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 4: Doze has found that Immigration gave a work authorization document 302 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 4: to illegals just five months after they filed for asylum. 303 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 4: That document allowed them to work while they waited to 304 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,959 Speaker 4: hear whether their asylum request of being accepted or denied. 305 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 4: So they could work as an illegal. Knowing it would 306 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 4: take years before their case was heard, the Immigration Department 307 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 4: mailed them a social Security number, no interview, no proof 308 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 4: of identity to put it in the mail. Here's your 309 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 4: number in twenty twenty one. Does says two hundred and 310 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 4: seventy thousand new aliens were issued social Security numbers five 311 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 4: hundred and ninety twenty twenty two, nine hundred and sixty 312 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 4: four thousand twenty twenty three, and two point one million 313 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 4: in twenty four right before Biden left office. Dose also 314 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 4: discovered that one point three million aliens are now receiving medicaid. 315 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 4: Millions received driver's licenses, Some registered to vote, and Doe 316 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 4: says some actually did vote. Try and square that against 317 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 4: Democrat claims that Musk is destroying social security and cutting 318 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 4: Medicaid is not destroying. He's weeding out people. Don't qualify 319 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 4: who is really guilty of misinformation in this case, it 320 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 4: is not Elon Musk. 321 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 2: By the way, One of the things that he said 322 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 2: there was we were mailing out these Social Security cards 323 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 2: to people that had had no proof of who they were, 324 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 2: no proof of identity. Just here you go, sign up 325 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 2: and bam, will give you a bunch of govermin aide, 326 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 2: including as he mentioned, their medicaid. 327 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 1: Yeah. 328 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 3: No, it's an amazing quote. No interview, no proof of identity, 329 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 3: just put it the mail. And the important thing to understand, 330 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,719 Speaker 3: this was not by accident. This is not because the 331 00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 3: Biden administration was incompetent. It's not because they're lazy. This 332 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 3: was their intention. You don't go from two hundred thousand 333 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 3: to two million in four years by accident. They made 334 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 3: a conscious decision. Number one, the twelve million illegal immigrants 335 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 3: that invaded this country under Joe Biden, they made a 336 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 3: conscious decision, let's open up our borders. We want this 337 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 3: to happen. Number two, the four million non citizens who 338 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 3: got Social Security numbers. They made a conscious decision. We 339 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 3: want every one of them. Look the reason why I've 340 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 3: had people ask me why would the Democrats allow this 341 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 3: horrific invasion. It hurt them politically, It hurt them badly. 342 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 3: Don't any of them say, gosh, this is egregious and 343 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 3: it's a simple political calculus. I believe the Democrats decided 344 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,360 Speaker 3: every illegal immigrant in America is a future Democrat voter, 345 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 3: and so we'll take twelve million, even if it includes 346 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 3: murderers and rapists and child molesters and gang members, because 347 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 3: we want power, and so hand in hand with that 348 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 3: is giving them so Security numbers. Even if it's fraudulent. 349 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 3: They don't care and and this is yet another example 350 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 3: of the abusive power we've seen over the last four years, 351 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 3: in particular that is being exposed by Elon musk Andy 352 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 3: by President Trump. 353 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 2: So how do we turn this off? I mean, there's 354 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 2: this many that are out there. And if you go 355 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,479 Speaker 2: back over the numbers that you that you mentioned and 356 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,959 Speaker 2: that Stuart mentioned there that the number of people that 357 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 2: are that got these Social Security cards just in the 358 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 2: fiscal year twenty twenty four over two million, about a 359 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 2: million and twenty three five hundred or ninety thousand, almost 360 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 2: six hundred thy twenty two and two hundred and twenty 361 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. 362 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: How do we turn those off? 363 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 2: How do we say, no, you don't need this and 364 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,199 Speaker 2: you were given this was abusive power. No, we're not 365 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 2: going to have you getting all this free garment. Aide 366 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 2: is that where Congress has to step in and say, hey, 367 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 2: we got to go back through all the son says 368 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 2: and so security numbers that have been issued and connect 369 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 2: the dots of those that were issued. 370 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: Are you getting government aid? 371 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 3: Yes, Congress should act, But at the same time, I 372 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 3: think the Trump administration has ample authority to act, and 373 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 3: I think Elon musk views that really is a very 374 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 3: significant part of his mandate. 375 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: You know. 376 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 3: One of the things Stuart Varney reported on he said, 377 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 3: quote Doge also discovered that one point three million Aliens 378 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 3: are now receiving medicaid. Millions received driver's licenses, some registered 379 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 3: to vote, and Doge said some actually did vote. Try 380 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 3: and square that against Democrat claims that Musk is destroying 381 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 3: so security and cutting Medicaid. He's not destroying He's weeding 382 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 3: out people who don't qualify. Who's really guilty of misinformation 383 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 3: in this case, it's not Elon Musk. And that point 384 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 3: I think is exactly right. That I think the Trump 385 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 3: Adventists Station has a real mandate to go find waste fraud, abuse, 386 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 3: and go find illegal immigrants that are wrongly receiving government 387 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 3: benefits and cut them off. And I think Congress should 388 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 3: back them up. But I also think the Trump administration 389 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 3: is going to do so on its own, and I 390 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 3: think that's fantastic. 391 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: Senator. 392 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 2: There's also another important story that is one that is 393 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,199 Speaker 2: I think exciting for transparency but also frustrating at the 394 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 2: same time. You have opened an investigation into US Fencing 395 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 2: over their transathlete policy. Give us the backstory on this 396 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 2: and why you're so involved. 397 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 3: So USA Fencing has received widespread criticism for something that 398 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 3: happened last week. Stephanie Turner, who's a female fencer. She 399 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 3: refused to compete against a transgender opponent, a biological male 400 00:22:55,440 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 3: who decided that he was a she. And what happened 401 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 3: and is Stephanie Turner. Rather than compete against this biological mail, 402 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 3: Stephanie Turner took a knee and as a result, she 403 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 3: was disqualified from the tournament. She was given a black 404 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 3: card and disqualified from the tournament. It was treated as forfeiting. 405 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 3: And I saw this frankly. I saw this on X 406 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 3: I saw this on Twitter, and I thought this was 407 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,719 Speaker 3: outrageous because women should not be forced to compete against 408 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,959 Speaker 3: men in sports. That's not right now. As you know, 409 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 3: I am the chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, 410 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 3: and Transportation. The Commerce Committee has massive jurisdiction, as jurisdiction 411 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 3: over roughly forty percent of the US economy. One of 412 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 3: the things we have jurisdiction over is sports. We have 413 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:56,959 Speaker 3: jurisdiction over collegiate sports, Olympic sports, and any kind of 414 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 3: sports competition, and fencing is explicitly it is the vehicle 415 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,959 Speaker 3: through which the American fencing team in the Olympics has chosen. 416 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 3: And so last week I launched an investigation and I 417 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 3: sent an oversight letter to USA Fencing asking for the 418 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 3: documents on what their policy is, how many transgender athletes 419 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 3: have attempted to compete, how many women they have disqualified 420 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 3: for decline and compete, how many injuries have occurred. Look, 421 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 3: there are biological differences. Men are made differently than women, 422 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 3: and we've seen in many other sports significant injuries from 423 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 3: women being forced to compete against biological men. And at 424 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 3: the end of the day, the Congress has a very 425 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:58,959 Speaker 3: direct remedy, which is we have the ability to cease 426 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,239 Speaker 3: the designation and of USA Fencing as the organization that 427 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 3: chooses US Olympic athletes. And so this oversight is an effort. 428 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 3: I want to get them to change their policy. I 429 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 3: want to get them to protect women. I think women's 430 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 3: sports matters, girls sports matters, and I don't think any 431 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 3: women should be forced to compete against a man in sports. 432 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 3: I don't think any girl should be forced to compete 433 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 3: against a boy in sports. 434 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 1: What does it look like if they're actually held accountable 435 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: for this. 436 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 3: What it looks like is they change their policies that 437 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 3: that is my objective here, is to change the policy 438 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 3: so that you don't end up having having women discriminated 439 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 3: against and put in a position where they're competing unfairly, 440 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 3: where they're put in a position where they're risking real, 441 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 3: real injuries. 442 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 2: It'll be very interesting to see what that injury report 443 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 2: looks like. Is there a timeline for them getting back 444 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 2: to you with this request? 445 00:25:58,640 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: Sure? 446 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 3: So here's what I said my letter. I wrote it 447 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 3: to the chief executive officer of USA Fencing, and I said, 448 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 3: dear mister Andrews, it has come to my attention that 449 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 3: USA Fencing is still permitting men to compete in women's 450 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 3: fencing in violation of federal law. I'm writing to ask 451 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 3: why your organization is the recognized national governing body for 452 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 3: fencing in the United States, but to remain so, it 453 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 3: must comply with the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee 454 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 3: rules and procedures, its statutory obligations to protect women, and 455 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 3: President Trump's recent executive order on keeping men out of 456 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 3: women's sports. If it does not and instead continues to 457 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 3: put women at risk, Congress may be forced to terminate 458 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 3: USA Fencing's NGB certification. Last week, Stephanie Turner, from the 459 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 3: Fencing Academy of Philadelphia competed at the USA Fencing sanctioned 460 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,679 Speaker 3: Cherry Blossom Open Circuit at the University of Maryland. The 461 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 3: young woman was set to face a man who now 462 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 3: claims to be a transgender woman and a fencing bans However, 463 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 3: at the start of the match, Miss Turner bravely took 464 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 3: a knee and refused to compete against her male opponent. 465 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 3: In response to this young woman's courage, tournament officials presented 466 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 3: her with a black card and disqualified her from the 467 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 3: entire tournament. USA's Fencing's Director of Communications, Brian Wendell, said 468 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 3: the young woman's disqualification was quote the direct result of 469 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 3: her decision to decline defense an eligible opponent, a supposed 470 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 3: violation of the International Fencing Federation rules. He reiterated the 471 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 3: USA Fencing's remains committed to inclusivity. USA Fencing's commitment to 472 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 3: inclusivity is nothing less than a full throat of support 473 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 3: for males competing in women's sports in violation of federal law. 474 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 3: As the recognized MGB for Fencing. USA Fencing is required 475 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 3: to provide quote support and encouragement for participation by women 476 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 3: were separate programs for male and female end athletes are 477 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 3: conducted on a national basis, as well as quote safe 478 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 3: environments and sports. Failure to do so is grounds for 479 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 3: the United States Congress to terminate USA Fencing certification as 480 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 3: an MGB. And I go on to say that they 481 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 3: have to comply with President Trump's executive order. And I 482 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 3: point out that male fencers naturally possess inherent advantages over 483 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 3: potential female competitors. Men tend to be taller, have greater 484 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 3: muscle mass, and more testosterone, all advantages for fencing movements 485 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 3: like lunges, jumping, or leg power measures. And I point 486 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 3: out that under the rules of the Senate, the Commerce 487 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 3: Committee has a duty and an authority to review and 488 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 3: study on a continuing basis both sports and sports agencies 489 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 3: such as USA Fencing, and so I ask, I ask 490 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 3: a whole series of questions, and I want documents and 491 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 3: answers by April twenty first, twenty twenty five, and it's 492 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 3: documents about their transgender policy. How many men or transgender 493 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 3: women currently compete in the women's division, in the last 494 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 3: four years. How many bouts have occurred between transgender women 495 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 3: and women? How many times did the female athlete prevail? 496 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 3: How many times did the female athletes suffer an injury? 497 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 3: Does USA Fencing comply with the President's executive order? And 498 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 3: I have a whole series of additional questions, But this 499 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 3: is an example of holding to account. And you've got 500 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 3: throughout sports these radical associations, organizations that have embrace the 501 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 3: woke ideology. There's no difference between men and women, and 502 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 3: that is profoundly unfair to women and girls competing in sports. 503 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 3: And I'm going to do everything I can to stop it. 504 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 2: Admitted that will keep you up to in the story. 505 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 2: Don't forget we did this show Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 506 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 2: so hit that subscriber auto dowload button. 507 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: Please write us a five star review if you would. 508 00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 2: Wherever you're listening to this podcast, it helps us turn 509 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 2: tremendously when it comes to reaching new audience.
