If they weren't making money on this, they wouldn't do this. Could you imagine walking into a doctor's office and saying, don't really feel like having a right arm today. Could you cut it off? Your doctor, physician, surgeon would look at you like you're literally insane. But because they can attach a price tag to it, and we saw this. We saw it in my backyard. I live in Nashville, Tennessee.
And that video of this Vanderbilt clinician who came out and said, you know, forget abortions. We can only make $200, $250 for every abortion. These are lifelong patients that we're creating. These are cash cows, $70,000 to $100,000 per procedure. And we have them for life. And just knowing all of this is being done for profit, it makes me sick.

And so to see these parents who are opportunists, and that's the kindest way you could put it, is disturbing.

It was clear to me, my teammates, and my competitors that they had reduced everything we had worked our entire lives for down to a photo op to validate the feelings and the identity of a male. We also had to share a locker room and change in front of this six-foot-four, fully intact, naked male. We were not forewarned of this arrangement.

We were not asked for our consent, and we did not give our consent to this exposure and to be exploited.

It is a joy to be here. What a movement, really, you have and your team have been able to build. And we saw the impact that you've had on November 5th. So truly a blessing to be here. Just did a bunch of meet and greets with the students, which is the most revitalizing thing. It just reminds me why we fight the fight. So always a joy to work alongside you.

Yeah, well, gosh, over the past maybe two years, I've been on upwards of 80 different college campuses with Turning Point chapters. So it's, yeah. It's no joke. It's everything from your traditionally very liberal institutions like Harvard and Princeton and Cal Berkeley, but really everything in between to small private Christian schools.

And so it's been awesome, especially over the past year, to see just how the reception and the willingness to engage that I have seen personally from students. This whole idea of being a closeted conservative on a college campus, I believe, is certainly fading. And, again, largely to thank because of Turning Point and what you guys have been able to do.

Yeah, this feels very timely, even given this week we saw President of the NCAA Charlie Baker testify before the Senate. There were some pretty strong lines of questioning that we saw from Senator Hawley, Senator Kennedy, Senator Blackburn. But the state of things now, you mentioned the San Jose State University debacle that has been ongoing in the sport of women's volleyball.

San Jose State, of course, a institution, a university in California, shocker, allowed a man to take a scholarship, a roster spot, a travel spot from a hardworking, deserving female athlete. It became public knowledge that this athlete was a male, and we saw universities begin to forfeit. We saw five universities do so.

Utah State, University of Utah, Boise State, University of Wyoming, and University of Nevada. But I want to mention Boise State in particular because they made it to the Mountain West Conference Championship, which is outside of the NCAA tournament. It's the pinnacle of their sport.
