Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Ryan shuling back with you here onsix thirty K how welcome to it?
Text us by seven seven nine listeningon six thirty K, How Shannon Scott
with me for just one more dayand then I will tearfully say goodbye,
one single tear going down my rightcheek, and then I'll wave farewell.

(00:21):
Where do you go now? Shannon? What happens after today for you?
I'm curious, I'm concerned. I'mworried sick about you. There's a whole
lot of me tomorrow. What's happenedwith that? I think I'm seven or
eight people tomorrow? Oh wow?Yeah, Yeah, you're definitely fitting the
definition of an octopus here because we'rewithout Jazzy. He's on paternity leave,

(00:43):
he's gone. Is there another personof vacation right now? Coover's on vacation?
Dragon? Dragon is gone? Gota really short bench? In other
words, is what you're saying?Yes, he's just nodding affirmatively. Okay.
Well, relying on you heavily today, Shannon, because it was a
theme I didn't see coming for thisday. But it was an article that

(01:06):
was written by one Rebecca Traster,the body politic, the Intelligencer writer at
Large for New York Magazine and thecut and the title which was very heavily
ratioed on x formerly known as Twitter. What that means is there were a
lot more replies than there were retweetsor likes, which usually is a negative

(01:30):
sign for something that you post onthat platform. And it asked on the
cover of this magazine, are Republicanwomen okay? And I know a lot
of you and our listening audience arewell by definition Republican women. So I
ask you right off the top,are you okay? Because apparently New York

(01:53):
Magazine and Rebecca Traster they're worried sickabout you. We're going to be joined
by two Republican women during this program. It just so happens to be Representative
Lauren Bobert will be joining me hereduring this hour, and her opponent,
the only other female candidate in thefourth congressional District race, the primary coming

(02:17):
up one week from today, DeborahFlora, will join me an hour two,
stationed at her post as well towalk me through this article because I
have read it unfortunately now in retrospect. Kelly Cacera also proudly now a Republican
woman after being unaffiliated for a whilefor some odd reason that maybe she can

(02:40):
explain to us, but now registeredas a Republican, that's the ballot that
she gets. So, Kelly,are you okay? I am? Are
you okay? I am? ButI have to tell you that this is
the funniest piece of crap you've evergiven me to read in my life.
Did you read it? I didso if you'd like to read it,

(03:00):
and you haven't used up your freearticle limit for New York Magazine, and
that might include a lot of youout there. Somehow I had gotten to
that limit. I'm a little ashamedof that. But there was a secondary
question was actually the title of thearticle, which is a little bit more
incendiary than just our Republican women.Okay, So Kelly, if you could

(03:23):
paint a picture of what the coverof this magazine looked like featuring this headline
article. It's like a Warhol orPicasso painting or something, right, Uh,
okay, it's a woman, buthalf of her is dressed right in
pumps sure, and a skirt andwhat normal women may be where and then

(03:50):
the other half of the woman iscarrying an ak that's Valentina Gomez. That's
a portion of her. It's likesix different parts of a puzzle. Correct.
The upper right is Christy nome yep, the upper left is MTG Marjorie
Taylor Green. So they're all kindof different and they're spliced together in this
because obviously we Republican women are allMarjorie Taylor Green. Well, that leads

(04:15):
us through. Hold on, No, that's what flee me to the second
question here, which I said,is more incendiary than the first, which
on the cover says are Republican women? Okay. The title of the article
though, is how did Republican womenend up like this? So? How
did you end up like this?Kelly? Well ticky years of practice?
I guess what would you say?Hold on the general feeling you came away

(04:40):
with besides this article being completely ridiculous, but just you're feeling about the author
of this, Rebecca Traster, andwhat your perception of her is. She
is the exact person and personification ofwhy I hang out with men, and
that is not at all auration becauseI do kind of hang kind of tend

(05:03):
to hang with the boys, andthis person is exactly why, well exactly
yeah, And I said it inmy Twitter post because when I encountered this,
I immediately sent it to you andI printed it out for you,
yep, because I thought it wasimportant that we talk about it today,
and I want all of your responsesout there as well five seven seven three

(05:26):
nine, if you would. AndI simply quote tweeted it because the New
York Magazine posted it as follows onX for our latest cover story at our
tracter reports on the surprising evolution ofthe Republican woman, their wrath, sweetness,
strength, and subservience to the magaiteobserved. And this is where I've

(05:46):
said this before, but I wantto put it in a tweet again,
and I want our listeners to hearit. I say, reporting on something
they know nothing about and don't botherto investigate with personal interviews. They instead
take potshots from a considerable distance,viewing their subjects as zoo animals with caricature
sketches drawn at a theme park.You're not wrong. I want to focus

(06:13):
on the zoo animal aspect of that, because I say that in the past
and people a haha, right right, you're messing and joking. You're a
funny guy. I am not joking. Think about that term observed like we
were out in the wild, andwe are animals on the prairie, and

(06:33):
there are lions, and there aregazelles. And by the way, as
a white male, straight person readingthis, I would hate myself if I
believe what Rebecca Traster thought about mein my kind based on these immutable characteristics
that I rally so hard against inall of this. But they do the

(06:58):
other side view us and you ifyou're a Republican woman out there or a
conservative right of center, however youwant to define yourself, whatever label you
a fix or attached to yourself.We are zoo animals for their amusement and
their observation, Like look at themthrough the binoculars and see how they exist
in the wild, and why arethey the way that they are? So

(07:24):
Kelly, I'm just going to hitsome highlights here. I highlighted a culp.
Maybe you highlighted something that I didnot I have. Okay, here's
mine though, Going to page threeat what I printed out about the middle
and it says, quote on thecusp of an election season that could further
reshape this democracy and women's place withinit, the questions facing the women of
the American right are tricky? Arethey supposed to be cutthroat or cute?

(07:48):
Well, we all know that bydefinition, Kelly Kucherra is cute because she
hates that word, and therefore Icall her that more often, continuing,
so cutthroat? Are cute? Coldenough to kill a dog? Christino?
Or warm enough to bake an applepie? To whom is their devotion chiefly
addressed? Country, husband, Godor Trump? And how might their womanhood

(08:11):
complicate their responses to the closing ofObstetric's wards or the fact that their party's
leader was convicted of falsifying business recordsto cover up an extramarital affair with an
adult film actress. Adndum to thatthat was sixteen years ago, fourteen years
ago, somewhere in there, nay. The challenge of navigating these thorny questions

(08:33):
Continuing with Rebecca Chaster here in NewYork Magazine, The challenge of navigating these
thorny questions has left many of themcaraming, from high pitched rancor to contorted
eroticism to the seemingly snug comforts oftrad wife chic. The spectacle can provoke

(08:54):
amusement fury in a frescant of horrormovie unease. Pause for saw just means
thrill. And as an English minerand somebody who is taught composition and has
written many papers, if there isa simpler word you can use so that
your audience better understands it, thenyou use that word. It's the Okham's

(09:16):
Razor approach to writing. You don'tjust use for saw to show off like
you're some kind of pseudo intellectual andyou're smarter than your audience. That's a
condescending thing to do, so itmakes the reader feel stupid and less.
Then this is a technique. Thisis a tactic. Hear me out so
that you have to look up forsaw and find out that in French that

(09:37):
means thrill, So she could justas easily have written and a thrill of
horror movie unease. If it issimpler to write and understand for your audience,
then you write to and for youraudience. That would be my critique
and would have been an edit,though I would have made it as an
editor here anyway, Continuing for ifthe women of today's were publican party are

(10:00):
upending gender conventions in unprecedented fashion.They're doing it in service of a party,
that has never been more openly hostileto women and their rights. Kelly
pop quiz on this writer, RebeccaTracer, how would you, in one
sentence define what Rebecca Traster believes women'srights to be. What does that mean

(10:22):
to her? Because I think there'sa simple answer based on reading this entire
article. She believes that men canbe women. No, it's not that,
and she can also she does nothave the traditional women definition in her
mind. You're going way too deep. It's very simple. Okay. It's
the right of her to kill afetus within her Oh well, yeah,

(10:46):
there's that too. Well. It'svery interesting that you brought this whole part
of the article up, because thisis the one that I outlined exactly that
paragraph three paragraphs. And why didthat stand out to you? Oh my
gosh. First of all, there'sso much wrong. I don't even know
where to start, but it's veryit's just very interesting to me that a

(11:09):
person like this sees a person likeme, and you used zoo animals and
you know that reference. I'm gonnasay, she doesn't see me as an
equal, she sees me as beneathher. And that's the whole reason for
this entire article, the seven pagesof drivel that I had to you,

(11:31):
know ingratiate myself into reading You're unenlightenedand you don't know any better. That's
her view of you and all Republicanwomen. Then I'm definitely beneath her.
And that's the point of view thatshe has for all Republican women. Answer
her question, though, to whomis your devotion chiefly addressed? Country,

(11:52):
husband, God, or Trump?All of the above? And why can't
it be all the above? Exactly? Why do you have to be this
cartoon cutout character that could only chooseone path because you're such a simple minded
woman, you can only pick oneof those? Sure, right right?
I can't be you know, multilevel faceted for anything, because you know,
obviously I only have two brain cellsthat the synapses are firing on.

(12:15):
Because that's basically what she's describing asRepublican women at this point. Uh yeah.
And the funny aside here on thenext paragraph, Jennifer Granholm my former
governor in the state of Michigan.She goes on to say this, and
I've got a retort, she says, a former pageant contestant and the first
woman to govern Michigan has described cuttingher hair her hair short and trying to

(12:35):
add gray streaks when she first ranher campaign in nineteen ninety eight. Quote
you had to look completely asexual,she once said. The first thing they
think about is how you are shaped, what you are wearing. You have
to be as neutral as possible sothat people will pay attention to the words
coming out of your mouth. Beforeyou respond to that, I've got a
story. My brother used to workwith Joe Paggs. You hear Joe Paggs

(12:58):
week nights here on this station atsix pm in the Mountain time zone.
My brother was the floor director forhis newscast, and during this very election
campaign, Jennifer Granholm came in asa candidate for an interview. Not not
making any judgments, but I'm justcountering what she just said right there that
she had to look asexual. Right, She wanted to put gray streaks in

(13:18):
her hair, all this stuff tode sexualize herself. She came in wearing
a rather plunging neckline on a satineblouse that was flattering. My brother was
charged. I think I've told youthis story. Kelly with micing her.
Now, what that means is there'sa lava leer mic that you have to

(13:39):
a fix or attach to the lapelor whatever for a man or a woman.
And my brother was like hesitating because, like what I just described the
blouse that she was wearing, andhe paused and he was going to hand
it to her. She goes,oh, just put it on me.
And she leans in, she smiles, and she's very full with my brother

(14:01):
this whole time, by the way, and these are his words, this
is his account, and remember he'sa democrat, especially now, but he
has found it a little wow,okay, And she was faunting in other
words, in my opinion, basedon the story he told me her sexuality,
not that I have a problem withit, but this completely flies in
the face of what she just toldthis author. So in many ways,

(14:24):
I think this cuts both ways.That a woman in Jennifer Granhold's position will
use her sexuality when it's an advantage, maybe in a situation like that,
but then cut against the grain andsay, oh, you know, woe
is me for being a woman ina patriarchal society. This is why I
have such a strong visceral disagreement withDan Kaplis about the movie Barbie, this

(14:46):
whole throwaway line of the patriarchy,the patriarchy. There was like a joke
about how many times that word wassaid in that movie. But they weren't
joking about it. They mean it. Liberals mean it. White old men
are inherently evil. We are misogynisticand sexist. We are hostile toward women.
Kelly point out any flaw in thatanalysis. I'm a bad person,

(15:09):
you are, according to her,based on nothing else than what I just
stated. Yep, I'm a whiteguy according to this this article, right,
you are one hundred percent correct.You are nothing, and in fact,
you check so many horrible boxing Ireally do. Yeah, I'm like
five for five. I mean youare, You're white, terrible, You're

(15:33):
conservative? Yeah, it does achoice though. You believe in God.
I do. I'm Christian and I'mstraight. You're straight, and I'm a
male and you're male. I'm acist gender male as the lives of my
gender. Yeah, I gotta putthat one in there. One more thing
I want to get your reaction tobefore we go to break here, and
we talked to Lauren Bobert on theother side, who I anticipate I'm going

(15:54):
to ask that this author tried toreach out to for comment in this our.
I'm about one hundred percent sure thatshe approached Lauren said Hey, I'd
like you to participate in this articleI'm writing. Will you give me a
comment? And no comment from LaurenBobert appears in this piece. But I
guarantee you wonder why the way ComradeKyle's salivates over Lauren and all things Lauren

(16:18):
and makes his own name based onLauren and gets on Jimmy Kimmel. Because
of Lauren, the way the liberalmedia treats her and reacts to her,
it just again flies in the faceof this entire piece. Because the people
that treat Lauren Bobert and in manyRepublican women Sarah Palin, he can go
back to two thousand and eight withthe most amount of venom and vitriol and
absolute disregard and dismissal of their attributesother than their appearance. It's mind boggling

(16:47):
ironic. And this is the toneand tenor of this paragraph. Flipping a
page a couple ahead, says,quote, the brutal irony of women on
the right is that their emergence asmighty politicians is relied in highly on feminist
games. So you're welcome, Kelly, from what all the radical leftists feminists
have done to pave the way foryou. Those are my words. Now,

(17:08):
continuing with hers and the experiences trackwith the feminist critique of inequality,
including expectations of acquiescence to powerful men. Palin's self assured ethos was made possible
by the women's movement that she wasinterested in co opting for herself, in
which the modern Republican Party is seekingto destroy. So, Kelly, how

(17:30):
do you respond to that that Republicanwomen they're just trying to undo all the
progress that leftist feminist women made forthem. You should be thanking them?
Yes? Thanks? Why not?Because? But why not? So it
wasn't just Sarah Palin. She trashesa lot. I mean, she starts

(17:52):
off the article with Marcia Blackburn yepin the Brown Jackson of the what is
a woman? Which she did notanswer. She could not answer it because
she wasn't a quote unquote biologist,right, which is a stupid answer which
started from there. But then shegoes on to basically condemn Lara Trump.

(18:17):
Yeah, Megan, Kelly, Kellymake of this in before the break though,
because this paragraph was laughable to me, she goes just a throwaway compliment
for these Democratic whack jobs. Remarkably, she says, these dark years have
seen women on the left conduct themselveswith new ease and assuredness. Democratic women
at both the center and the leftedge of their party now communicate in a
range of styles that appear more authenticand less stilted than those of previous generations

(18:41):
of female politicians. Alexandria Acossio Cortesis fluent on social media. Elizabeth Warren
lets her professional freak flag fly AanaPresley is bald and beautiful. They tell
stories of abortion, of assault,of pregnancy and childbirth, of their gay
entrance, offspring, of their disabilities, and military service, weaving the facts

(19:03):
of their lives and arguments for civilrights, healthcare access, and housing.
They are the heroes that this author, Rebecca Tracter, has been looking for
an anti herold Corney her Lauren Bolbertjoins us, next, Oh this guy,
kau Kyle Clark. He's shot outof a canon. His next target

(19:23):
was Beetlejuice officionado. Lauren Bobert.Do you want to talk about the theater
thing? Sure? So Kyle,I certainly have owned out, owned up
to my night out in Denver,and you know, I've gone on that
public apology tour, and I'm gratefulfor the mercy and grace that has been
shown, but I'm I'm not goingto continue to live life in shame and

(19:47):
be beat up off by this.And you know, I would like to
go back to my legislation. We'renot gonna, not gonna, We're not
gonna do that. You had plentyof time to answer the question you chose
not to. This is quite amanual of items on this debate. Wise,
you got a hand jobs high speedChase. I mean, Colorado is
gaining some serious ground on Florida here. And of course Jimmy Kimmel featuring the

(20:08):
debate that happened not that long agoin which Kyle Clark made a name for
himself really catapulting off of Representative LaurenBobert, who joined us right now,
Ryan sholing with you on six pointthirty k How Lauren, welcome back,
Brian. I didn't know we weregiving Kyle a shout out today. Yeah,
well no, it's yeah right,No, My point being this article

(20:30):
that Kelly alerted you to which wasentitled in a big tweet saying are Republican
women okay? And then the secondaryquestion that was the title of the article,
how did Republican women end up likethis? And then it's just so
ironic to me, they're kind ofputting you under the microscope and yet this
is the way you are treated.And I knew when we talked about this

(20:53):
going into that debate, Kyle Clarkwas like a poppy dog. He was
talking them one hundred miles an hour. He can't get an interview with you
sit down, So we took advantageof the debate setting to have that interview
with you. How did you feelgoing through that whole experience with him?
Well, I mean the experience forme was not going through it with Kyle

(21:14):
Clark. It was to the viewerswho were paying attention and actually wanting to
hear policy issues. Unfortunately, youknow Kyle, I mean, he took
most of it a different way andit was a seven on one attack against
me, which wasn't a surprise.But I mean, I'm fine to stand
and be accountable to the voters andcommunicate my policies the issues that I've delivered

(21:38):
on, you know, Kyle Clarkwas very, very big on you know,
how many standalone bills have you actuallypassed and had signed into law?
And clearly he and my other opponentsdon't understand how legislating works in Washington,
DC. There are many different waysto get legislative priorities signed into law,

(21:59):
and it's not just a stand alonebill. If that were the only way,
that's all we would have were singlesubjects stand alone bills, which I'd
be fine with, but you know, there's many different issues there. I've
signed ninety seventy five legislative priorities intolaw and delivered for Colorado and then also
many other parts of the United States, and so I'm fine to stand there

(22:21):
and debate my record and talk aboutwhat I have done to deliver for Colorado
and what I'm continuing to do tostand up for America first principle. The
questions in this article, and Ireally encourage you to read it, Lauren,
if you haven't already, because it'shigh comedy. Really, when you
read through this whole thing, you'rementioned a couple of times in it.

(22:41):
Were you approached for this article byRebecca Traster from New York Magazine. If
I was approached. It wasn't directlyto me, and I think we usually,
you know, put those New Yorkmagazine requests towards the back burners to
put it on the phone with youtoday and not quoted in the magazine.

(23:02):
Well, and that's and that's welland good. We appreciate your time as
always, Lauren. But it askedI just want you to answer these two
questions the way that you would justpersonally, and how you're being caricatured really
as a cartoon character, I callit like a zoo animal. You're being
analyzed and observed from afar. Buthow would you answer our Republican women?
Okay? And how did Republican womenend up like this? First of all,

(23:27):
Republican women are flourishing. We aresome of the most happy women throughout
the United States. We understand thevalue of ensuring that we have good policy,
good representation throughout our country so wecan live our most and best prosperous
life. You know, Republican womenthroughout the nation statistically are doing much better

(23:52):
than the Democrat women. You know, I run into both on a regular
basis, and the bitterness that comesfrom those who are on the extreme left
is very unfortunate, and how didwe end up this way? Well,
we believe in the Constitution, wehave a foundation. We ended up this
way seeming extreme because we are stilladhering to our foundation's principles. While radical

(24:15):
leftists want to completely dismantle our constitutionand our country entirely. They want to
infiltrate our schools and and and pushthis propaganda on our children, whether it's
critical race theory, teaching children tohate one another based on the color of
their skin, or to hate ourcountry. Uh, there's diversity, equity

(24:40):
and inclusion that has done nothing goodfor our country or the people in it.
And you know, and then ofcourse, I mean there's the sexualization
of our children, which you knowI've heard is in the magazine that I'm
adamantly opposed to. That's taking placeright here in Colorado where we have comprehensive
sex to ed and when you gointo the details of it, it is

(25:03):
very, very disturbing. And thereare democrats that I have educated on what
is going on in our schools,and most of them do not believe that
it's happening. Have to be shownresearch and then they're like, oh my
gosh, who would want to dothis. Representative Lauren Bobert joining us she
is moving from the third Congressional districtthat she currently represents to the fourth congressional

(25:25):
district primary that is one week fromtoday. Building on your theme there,
Lauren, and again, you aresimplified and distilled in this article to very
much a base root level of you'rejust doing something performative to try to appeal
to somebody else, to try toplease somebody else. In this paragraph alone,
it says generations of women of bothparties have been caught in this finger

(25:48):
trap. When your value is tiedinextricably to sexualized standards contrived by white men,
you will not be appreciated, sometimesnot even seen unless you meet those
standards. Yet if you do,they're often shifting esthetic marks. You risk
being degraded by those same men,not taken seriously as their peers, but
rather understood as their ornament. Areyou an ornament? Oh? I think

(26:12):
that's exactly what they're doing in thisarticle, right, I mean, this
is they're guilty of exactly what they'reaccusing us to falling in line to.
And you know, I've never ranon my gender, sex my sex.
I've never said I'm a female.Vote for me. It's I have the
policies that will make your family's lifeeasier, more prosperous, and allow you

(26:38):
to live the American dream. Soit's never been about having some sort of
political show to demonstrate how much ofa woman I am. I mean,
certainly in Washington, d C.Nothing happens without force, and sometimes you
have to get really loud on anissue to be heard, and I am
certainly one to to do that.I'm fining to push against those who are

(27:03):
wanting four hundred and fifty thousand dollarschecks for illegal aliens who were separated from
their families at our southern border.I pushed against that and got that program
shut down. I pushed against theDisinformation Governance Board that wanted to sensor Americans
First Amendment rights to speech. Ishut that down because I got loud.

(27:25):
And so for me, it's notperformative. If I'm getting loud about something,
it's because it actually matters and there'sa strategy to ensure that we have
the best outcome. Representative Lauren Bolbertjoining us, I want to kind of
bake this down and get your responseto a lot of criticism from the left
towards somebody like you or Senator Katiebritt Is. You are biting the hand

(27:45):
that feeds you. You're only inthe position you are because of the hard
work of feminists from the left thatcame before you and open doors for you.
And that by opposing a woman's fundamentalright to reproductive freedom and a right
to an abortion, that you arefighting against women's rights. And how dare
you? How do you respond tothat? Wow, that's in the article.

(28:06):
Huh yeah, I mean this soundslike a parody. How sad?
First of all, where are thefeminists today? Where are they? We
have men competing against women in sports. We have men getting in mma rings
with women and crushing their skulls.We have men in girls' locker rooms,

(28:26):
in girls' bathrooms. We have mensaying that they are more important than a
woman because their heels are higher andtheir lipstick is a brighter shade of pink.
Where are the feminists today, Ryan? Where are they to shut down
the trans movement that is set toerase women entirely. Liberals who promote this

(28:48):
trans movement are saying, hey,ladies, sit down, this is a
man's world. They can do everythingbetter than you. They can win more
trophies in sports, They're stronger thanyou, and they can outperform you in
any job. Let's just put askirt on them and show and show you.
So where are those feminists that theyare referencing. I haven't heard from

(29:11):
any of them. And what wasthe second part of that, because I
definitely had something to say about that. Yeah, just that you have the
feminist movement to thank for being inthe position are today. Yeah, yeah,
No, So, okay, beinga woman is not defined by the
ability to kill your child the mostthe greatest power that I have is the

(29:33):
power to pro create, the powerto give life. And to reduce a
woman to her ability to kill herchild is absolutely disgusting. And you know,
I believe that abortion is absolutely eviland it is designed specifically to even
crush the father's part, who hasno say in this. I'm a boy

(29:56):
mom. This is something that I'veworried about ever since I started giving birth
to boys, wondering one day willthey not have a choice in their child's
destiny. And I believe that thisabortion movement is set forth to crush the
father's heart and cause chaos, Andhow ironic is it Ryan that Jesus when

(30:19):
he had at his last supper,he said, take eat this is my
body. Take of the bread andeat this is my body. Jesus laid
his life down to free others.And we have extreme lestis who are saying
your life only has value if youcan eliminate someone else's and they're saying this

(30:41):
is my body. They are usingthe words of Jesus against life itself and
saying this is my body and Ihave the right to destroy. So I
mean, that entire argument is completelydisgusting and fault and it's sad that so
many people are deceived, even thanthe Republican Party. There's so many Republicans

(31:02):
who are afraid to talk about theissue of abortion because they don't want to
lose an election or they don't wantto get caught in a corner somewhere.
As a federal representative, my numberone role is to defend and support the
Constitution, and then that constitution isenshrining the right to life. I have
five opponents who are not pro life. At a federal level, I don't

(31:26):
know if they're pro life, anda state's level, I've heard so many
excuses from every one of my opponentsin this primary which our election is next
Tuesday on the twenty fifth, andevery one of them have given excuses for
life, even some who have paidfor abortions. And so this is something
that is extremely troubling for me whenwe are silent to the point where we

(31:47):
cannot even defend the voiceless and empowerwomen to give life rather than end it.
One week from today, as shementioned that primary is Tuesday to twenty
fifth, we'll have live cup Ridgeright here on six thirty k how beginning
at six pm. Find out moreabout her campaign. Laurenfourcolorado dot com.
That's Laurenfoar, Colorado dot com representativeLauren Bobert. Always enjoy our conversations.

(32:12):
Best of luck this next week,Thanks so much. Ryan on to victory
all right. Always appreciate her timeyour reaction as well. Five seven,
seven, three nine start those texts. Ryan back with more after this on
six thirty k how. Oh,yes, that's the theme. I think
maybe a cover version of Uptown GirlAppropriate Billy Joel written for Christy Brinkley is

(32:37):
then Darling Sweetheart Shannon Scott alongside KellyCoucher as well. Ryan shooling with you
if you missed my conversation with RepresentativeLauren Bobert. Oh wow, you're gonna
want to hear that. You cango back in the blog and the I'm
gonna put that up as a separateentity, and you can also hear it
on the podcast as well. Thenthose that did hear it are responding to
it. Five seven, seven,three nine. Alexa just firing off texts

(33:00):
left and right. She says,let's hope Comrade Kyle gets his national gig
and moves to la or New YorkCity, which suck worse than Denver.
She continues. The left, wait, the left says they cannot define a
woman. That's correct. And thewhole article I think begins with that.
We're Senator Marsha Blackburn is going backand forth with Kintanji Brown Jackson in the

(33:23):
confirmation hearing for the Supreme Court,and I think the writers trying to use
that as like a buffering point.No, I'm coming right out front with
it. And this is the farright subsession with anti trans rhetoric. So
if you get this, if youstand up for what a woman is,

(33:45):
biology and all, you're inherently antitrans, then I mean this amount of
gas lighting in Orwellian manipulation is offthe charts, not to mention that they
wonder why they lose. They wonderwhy even Donald Trump is maintaining a leade
as loathed as he is by somany Over Joe Biden, how about our

(34:06):
neighbors to the north, a Canadiancancer charity. You remember this, They
apologized for using the term cervix insteadof here we go, trans friendly front
hole. Now I have to believewe have a prominent texter and audience listener,
Kimberly, who is a trans woman, and the conversations I've had,

(34:29):
whether it was online over text withher or with my friend Sarah Higden,
is that trans women by and largedo not want to erase biological women from
spaces, from the names of theirorgans to what they participate in with regard
to sports or opportunities or activities.They just want to live their lives independent

(34:52):
of interference. They don't want toimpose or intrude on the rights and the
lives of biological ways. This iswhy I'm such a strong advocate for third
spaces. Yes, trans people exist, Yes, I want to acknowledge and
embrace them and love them and invitethem to vote for Republican ideas that more
fit with their ideology than just beingdefined by a choice that they made or

(35:16):
something they were born with. Atrans person has a right to be something
other than just a trans person whovotes only on that basis alone. Many
more texts to get to when wecome back.
