Speaker 1 (00:04):
Five minutes past the hour of the Morning Show with
Preston Scott. Great to be with you friends. It is Tuesday,
July first. Can you believe we are halfway through the year?
Goodness gracious, how did you know? Of course? Now being
(00:26):
July first, it's Christmas shopping season in the Scott household.
This is when this is when I start paying attention
to anything and everything that's out there. But welcome to
the third hour of the Programming's oaia. I'm Preston. It's
show fifty four five and joining us. She's a champion.
US Congresswoman Cad Camick, Florida's third congressional district, Cat How.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Are you, good morning, I'm doing good.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
How are you hey? We were just talking about fourth
of July. I'm doing great. By the way, that was
rude of me to just segue into my very pressing
questions here. What what does grilling at the Camick household
look like? First of all, do you do any grilling?
Does your husband do the grilling? And if so, what
(01:13):
would a fourth of July cookout at the Camicks b.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
So, I'm the baker in the family. I am not
the chef, i am not the grill master. That is
all max domain, Okay. He is more of a charcoal guy,
so he while while in the past he has used gas,
it's more of a charcoal situation for him. And he
is known for his I mean, burgers are okay, but me,
(01:42):
you can kind of do burgers anywhere. He is known
for his grilled chicken and steaks. And so that's what
that looks like for us. If we're doing something with
friends and family, burgers sure, not really hot dog family.
But if he's feeling really fancy, he will smoke up
like a Boston butt or something.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Is he using a meat thermometer or strictly by feel?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
All by feel? He's very old school.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
And are the steaks gonna be on the rare side
of medium or on the well side?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Always on the medium side? I don't, he So I
know this is a crime. I should not admit it.
I put ranch on everything in steak. I know, I know,
I know, and it makes me cringe. It makes them cringe.
In fact, like you will hide the ranch because he
(02:39):
he says it's a crime that I put it on steak,
and I do, and I know it's a crime. I
just can't help it.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
The morning show chef is walking in here and he's
wanting to slap you.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I know, I know, I'm horrible, and he is. Matt
has such a great palate. He's he's just got a
gift for I mean, you know how firefighters are. They're
they're whipping up amazing meals in the firehouse. Sure. I
like I said, I'm the baker in the family. I
can whip something together, no problem, cakes, breads, whatever. He
(03:13):
has a gift for it. His palate is great. I
just I am such a typical kid from the eighties
and nineties, you know, like spaghettios are good to me.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Be FERRONI gotcha, gotcha, check kat. I want to. I
just I want to. I'm going to just put it
this way. How are the last couple of weeks? Share
whatever you'd like to share about it?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Mm hmm. Yeah, it's been an interesting week plus. I'd
say maybe ten days at this point. We shared a
very personal story that happened to us last year. Back
in May June of last year, my husband and I
we found out we were pregnant and immediately thought we
(04:01):
were miscarrying. And it turned out after ten days of
doctors trying to figure it out that we had, unfortunately
the rarest and most dangerous type of nixt topic pregnancy,
which means that the embryo gets stuck and can't grow.
(04:24):
It's non viable, there's there's not a heartbeat. And what
it does, though, is because your brain thinks that there's
something there that it's supposed to produce a hormone, so
your hCG levels continue to make it grow, and ultimately
what ends up happening is it ruptures and it causes
internal bleeding, and so it's a medical emergency, just like
a miscarriage, and so many women have them, and so
(04:47):
we kind of came s face first with the reality
of what happens when political fear mongering gets involved in healthcare.
And I was rushed into the hospital late at night.
I was told by doctors that they were hesitant because
(05:08):
they had seen a bunch of advertisements that they would
lose their license or go to jail. And I kept
having to explain to them both the law that was
recently on the books, and I was literally reading them
the law, chapter and verse write off my phone, and
then I was also pulling up all of the definitions
of abortion and never once at any point in time
(05:33):
has anyone ever considered treatment for X topics or miscarriages
and abortion their emergencies. And as a person who's very
pro life, you know, this was a devastating experience and
really highlighted the need for a national conversation in our
(05:54):
country about women's healthcare. And what I've found over the
course of a year now post that experience is that
it's virtually impossible to have that experience without it devolving
into hatred and and oh, you know, it's either pro
abortion or anti abortion, and that's just really a disservice
(06:15):
to women and families around the country. And we came
into last week sharing that story, and because we did,
we ended up receiving a record number of death threats
as we as we speak, I've got a security detail
sitting outside and unbelievable amount of death threats from the
pro abortion lobby. The liberal left is probably more violent
(06:41):
than I have ever seen them in my lifetime. And
it's all because I dared speak out about what the
consequences are of their rhetoric and their actions. And my
team has been threatened, my family's been threatened. We had
to evacuate our offices it's it's been a rough week,
but if anything, it has given me more resolves to fight,
(07:05):
and I know that I cannot be intimidated. I'm going
to keep speaking out for women and children and families
because I will not let the pro abortion lobbyists and
their activists dictate healthcare in this country for women who
really actually need it.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
We've got a real short segment here and then we'll
have more time on the back side of the break.
But I did get a note here from Ray that said,
ranch ranch dressing. I'm changing. I'm changing the Democrat.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I know it's criminal. It is I trust me. It
is a fatal flaw. I know I put it on pizza.
I put it on stake.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
It's all right, that's all right. Hey, we don't have
time for the conversation today, but let me rather than
get into the meat of that conversation you believe needs
to take place. And I don't disagree. The problem is
the conversation requires two sides of this to kind of
come together, sit down and say, hey, listen, but you
(08:05):
know this, the liberals don't do that. They do what
they're doing now. They resort to personal attacks, they resort
to threats, of violence. How do we have that conversation.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
You know what's been really sad is, like I said,
the violence, the threats. I have had many colleagues predominantly Republican,
but I've had one or two Democrat colleagues come forward
and say, whenever you want to talk, we're here. Because
(08:37):
there are so many things that have fallen through the cracks,
maternal health deserts, you know, access resources. The entire time
I was going through that experience, I kept asking that,
you know, what about families that don't have doctors, that
don't have coverage, that fall between the cracks, and so
there's a lot that we have to do. The the
(09:00):
left has been holding this issue hostage and have basically
taken women's healthcare down to a singular issue, and that's
elective abortions. And to me, that is really a disservice
to every woman and family in the country. So we
just have to remain strong and resolute. We have the
facts on our side. We definitely have a literacy crisis
(09:21):
in this country because you explain that to people, you
show them the medical journals, you show them the law,
and they just say, no, I know better than all
the US and Yeah, so we have uncovered that we
have both a literacy problem in the country and we
have an entertainment problem in the country.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Final segment with US Congresswoman Kat Camick, Florida's third congressional district,
talking about the One Big Beautiful Bill. Kat, I agree
with every single thing that Rand Paul says about this bill.
I think he's been grossly misrepresented by even a lot
of people on our side and maybe even the President.
But the fact of the matter is, we still need
(10:06):
to pass this bill.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
This is well, and it changes by the minute. You know,
the Senate has been in a vodama for the last
twenty two hours, and we in the House have been
watching anxiously. Have talked to Senator Mike Lee and a
couple of other senators here in the last twenty four hours,
and what we can confidently say is this is not
(10:32):
the House product that we sent over. What the House
Speaker is asking us to do is to basically pick
up whatever the Senate passes and just pass it out
of the House. Now, I personally have a problem with
that because if we are not removing illegals off of
the roles that are taking away precious resources from American citizens.
(10:54):
That's the problem. We're not kidding the border, that is
a problem. If we are not funding this radical trans
surgeries on minors agenda that is part of the bill,
that's a problem. If we are not addressing the regulatory
regime and the administrative state, that is a problem. So
(11:17):
we're seeing a lot of different problems that aren't getting
worked out. And it all really comes down to the
fact that you have an unelected bureaucrat the Senate parliamentarian
who has stripped out provision after provision, and I can
tell you she's being very much an activist in this
space because you look at the so called Inflation Reduction Act,
(11:38):
you look at the Green New Deal, you look at
the Obamacare. They all use the same process reconciliation, and
there were countless provisions where they were clearly not Germane,
but they remained in there. And so this parliamentarian really
ought to be fired. The American people did not elect her.
(12:00):
She should not be responsible for determining what gets left
in and what gets left out per her political bias.
So we have a lot of work to do. We're
anticipating a very, very tough week, But again, we are
a Marinta first, and that means putting American first. And
if we allow for illegals in this country to stay
(12:20):
on programs and take those resources away from law abiding citizens,
that is a failure on our part. And so we
have a long road to go, and it is it's
bit by bit. This is a massive package, and we're
gonna just keep on doing everything we can to advocate
for the good portions and try to get the bad
(12:41):
stuff out.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I know the President wanted it by July fourth for
a whole lot of reasons, but the fact of the
matter is that's his deadline. What's the real deadline.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Listen, You've heard me say this. I don't believe that
a deadline matters so much as the end results. The
product has been time and time again explained to us,
proven to us as we the people get. A bad
product takes a long time to get off the books.
Look no further than Obamacare and how it has absolutely
(13:13):
destroyed healthcare in this country. We don't have health care.
We have sick care, yep. And you want to do
it right. I know that there is this deadline on
the books that the President is pushing for, and believe me,
I will do everything I can to support the president,
but I'm not going to support anything that is going
to hurt the American people. And if it takes longer
(13:38):
then and we go past your life, for so be it.
I'll be in Washington. I will work through the weekend,
all work through the night. We've proven, we've done it before,
we'll do it again.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
You'll skip that ranch slathering, You'll skip that ranch covered
steak if you have to.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I'm never going to live that down, Am't I probably not.
I think most people would agree. We just have to
get it. People care more about getting the end product
right and less about the deadline.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I agree, Kat. We'll leave it right there. Our best
to you, thoughts and prayers you know, you and your baby,
your family, your staff, safety to all of you, of course,
had your protection and thanks for making time for us.
As always, I.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Appreciate you so much. Thank you guys so much.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
God bless thank you all Right, US Congresswoman Kat Camick
with us ranch dressing and all that's tough for me
to get past the ranch and the pizza crust. I'm
there with that. I don't do it, but I get it.
It's been around me for years, with my kids, all right,
I can't stake and Ranch. I'm sorry, I'm struggling. Struggling,
(14:43):
just kidding, sort of, twenty seven minutes past the hour
