I think bringing back the pink hats is about the only chance that they have tonight. And they just should find the strength within themselves to get those things someplace. I'm sure that the Trump administration would be trembling with fear if he had to stare into the gallery and saw nothing but a scene. I mean, they are flailing.
They are flailing at a time when they really ought to be getting their stuff together. And the fact that, you know, AOC and what's the other, what's Congressman Jasmine Sullivan or something like that?
Crockett. Yeah. I mean, these are the two most prominent Democrats in America at the moment. That is not a good thing by any stretch of the imagination. They seem to be on their back foot when they're not airing conspiracy theories about the worst possible imaginable thing that Elon Musk is imagined to be doing with Doge. They're just utterly... quiet. It's just very, very strange.
There are a plethora of things that they could be talking about and that they could be agitating about. I think the president has had any number of important victories, but he's also done lots of things that they could actually be out in the field criticizing, and they're just not doing a great job in opposition.
Wow. Okay.
That is the absolute worst advice. Like fascism. is on the rise, it's on the march, and we didn't show up. Incredible.
Thank you, Congresswoman Cardi B. Yeah, that's great. Cardi B would be a little bit more eloquent.
It's clearly a very popular policy nationally. This is perhaps one of the issues where Donald Trump, especially with respect to by comparison to Democrats, has just been able to kind of lap his opposition. There are, I think, plenty of people like weirdo liberals. libertarians who have this concern about whether or not the federal government ought to be getting involved.
And it is rather ironic and surprising to hear Democratic senators making arguments that we have made for years and years and years on a range of issues that the states and the local government ought to be making these fundamental decisions about what's happening with specific kind of narrow issues. And this in many respects is a kind of specific and narrow issues.
There are particular cases that have risen to national attention, as you just pointed out. But for the most part, I don't know that most people experience a lot of this stuff in their everyday lives. And the question that I've asked since Donald Trump's inauguration and the executive order is pertaining to this is whether or not the objective order
ought to be to try and pass executive orders or even to pass a new federal statute that is going to outlaw certain things, as opposed to trying to make certain that there is a kind of neutrality, that universities and the NCAA aren't trying to push particular values on parents and families and communities and even players and incentivize things in the way that Joe Biden had before.
And now Donald Trump is essentially trying to reverse that. The reason why you need some sort of federal legislation if you're a conservative who's concerned about these issues is because you know that just doing this with respect to executive orders, it's going to be tit for tat. As soon as Donald Trump is out of office, someone else is going to do this.
So the question becomes perhaps going for pluralism, perhaps trying to make some of these things less ideological is a better path forward on a range of issues. issues, even a lot of the diversity equity inclusion stuff.
No, Megan, I think you're making a really good case. And I will say that, admittedly, I don't follow this issue nearly as closely. My kids are pretty young. My daughter just turned seven. My son turned three today. And Leah is outclassing most boys her age in every athletic engagement.
But the thing that I was surprised to learn today, actually reading up on this a little bit, is that even the Biden administration had more than entertained the possibility of actually implementing some kind of restrictions on the policies that they were putting forward in this area because they had the same kinds of concerns that there would be situations where you'd had a boy who'd gone through puberty who then decided to do some sort of transition and as a result would have
a particularly unfair advantage in certain sports and could endanger some of their fellow athletes. So the fact that they're even willing to entertain that sort of thing does give, I think, some credence to the arguments that are being leveled from the right right now.
And it also suggests that there was probably, and I would imagine continues to be, a real opportunity to actually get some Democratic support for a piece of legislation that makes sense to them. As Matt said, the one that does exist seems fairly innocuous.
But perhaps there's a way to actually barter to get something done here, which I think, you know, ultimately getting the win is far more important, I think, than just having the battle and, you know, losing a close vote. So maybe they do come back and actually get this done by looking to whatever model.
Thrown out of the school altogether. I mean, that's the thing. They actually will punish you for that.
Holy cow.
