It's not in the national interest of the United States to have a canal we paid for and we built used as a leverage and a weapon against us. That can't happen. We built this thing. We paid for it. Thousands of people died doing this, Americans.
And somehow our naval vessels who go through there and American shipping that goes through there pays rates, some cases higher than other countries are paying. For example, a vessel from China, that's also not acceptable. But we should not be in a position of having to pay more than other countries. In fact, we should be getting a discount or maybe for free because we paid for the thing.

Well, exactly right, Megan. A lot of people don't realize an executive order which President Trump signed almost a couple weeks ago defining gender, by the way. And he even came out and said, listen, we have to have a bill within 30 days because If you don't know this, executive orders only last as long as that president's there. So we got some work to do. This is a third time.

Third time's a charm. I've had it on the floor twice. We didn't have the votes, even had a Republican vote against me the first time. Joe Manchin voted with me the second time. But we're going to have to get 60 votes, and we've got a lot of work to do. We have 53 Republicans. We know we've got to get some Democrats. But it is a very, very touchy subject.

Do you know, Megan, that there's some high school teams in this country, in blue states, that are totally biological boys? It is a disgrace. It is a disgrace what's going on. And what's going to happen is we're going toβwe areβ

going to end up not having women's sports because parents are not going to allow their kids to dress in dressing rooms, take showers with biological boys, or they don't want them to compete against them because of being a safety factor. But it is devastating what is happening. President Trump understands it. They put $100 million in advertising in the election the last three months.

And it helped him get over the top. 79% of the people in this country, Republican and Democrat, say it is wrong for men or boys to participate in women's sports. We've got the majority on our side. As you said, we've got to get it to the floor. John Toon told me he's going to get it to the floor. He hadn't done it. Now it's time to put up or shut up.
