Senator Ted Cruz

And I drafted this legislation in response to her concerns. I met with her and her mom. At the time, the pictures had been up on Snapchat for nine months. And I asked her and her mom, I said, well, what's the story with the pictures now? And her mom said, they're still up. And they said... Her mom said, I've called Snapchat. I've emailed them. I've gone round and round and round.

They will not take them down. And I turned to my team. I said, damn it, I want you to get the CEO of Snapchat on the phone right now, this afternoon. And I said, those pictures will be down today. Ben, they pulled the pictures down within two hours. Now, you know what? It should not take a sitting United States senator to make a phone call to make that happen.

The victim ought to have the right to get that down. And so my legislation puts a legal obligation— on the part of the tech platform. If the victim notifies them, they have to take it down. So tomorrow, I'm going to do an event at the Capitol with the First Lady and Melania Trump. We're going to have Elliston Berry is there.

We're going to have other victims who have been victims there to highlight this legislation. My bill has already passed the Senate 100 to nothing. I believe we'll get it through the House. And I think you could see the president talking about issues like that at the State of the Union as well, laying out, we have a mandate we're going to deliver, and here's what we're delivering already.

Ja, nein, das ist genau richtig. Trump ist nicht zurückgegangen. Und ich muss sagen, die Demokraten, es scheint, dass sie nichts von der Wahl gelernt haben. Hier, hören Sie zu dem Verhandlung zwischen dem Gouverneur von Mainz und Präsident Trump.

Well, it is. And by the way, there's also real teeth to it. So simultaneously with this exchange, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that it initiated a compliance review of the University of Maine. And the state could be in jeopardy of losing a hundred million dollars in federal USDA funding over noncompliance with the executive order on keeping males out of female sports.

And at the end of the day, and by the way, This is not hypothetical. This is happening in Maine. In Maine, there was a transgender boy who identifies as a girl who took first place in the girls pole vaulting at Maine's Class B state championship. Und es ist ein Wettbewerb, der die Hochschule überhaupt in den ersten Platz genommen hat.

Und so, wie würdest du dir fühlen, wenn es deine Tochter ist, die im zweiten Platz ist? Und sie ist die beste Pol-Walter in der Stadt, die eine Mädchen ist. Aber es gibt einen Jungen, der sagt, nein, ich bin eine Mädchen. Who beats her and dominates. It's just fundamentally unfair. And I got to say, overwhelmingly, 80, 90 percent of Americans agree with that proposition.
