But how terrible that we have to rely on the courts to correct a very flawed amendment that never should have gone forward in the first place.

Absolutely.

And I mean, when you look at the vote across the state of Virginia, um, I thought where I live in Alexandria, it was bad because it was, it passed with 84%.

Uh, I think from my investigation, Charlottesville city, 87% of voters supported this.

That's the most in any jurisdiction.

But yet you look at central and Southwest Virginia, and they're 70, 75% against it.

So we really, there really are two states of Virginia.

I mean, when you start putting that sort of language into your Constitution, what the heck comes next? The right to kill grandpa because he's too old and taking up too many resources? It doesn't seem like a far reach to me.

And these girls are told this is the way it's going to be, and they're, they're essentially told either play in the race and go along with the program, and they said, "No, we're gonna walk off." Should they have to be in that kind of position?

Well, absolutely they should not have to be in that position.

We, the adults, have failed these girls.

But I will say this.

I wanna congratulate them for their courageousness.

Courage is contagious, and often what gets the adults in this situation, our lawmakers and others, to do the right thing is to see the courage of the young people standing up for truth, standing up for biological reality.

And so I just wanna applaud those girls.

Yeah

Is that the Chinese connection there, too?

It is.

And one thing that China's super good at, and this happens in Maine and Oklahoma and Michigan, and even California is they buy up single family homes in neighborhoods and they turn them into grow houses.

They bypass the electricity.

So they get it for free, which makes everybody else's electricity go rates go higher.

They're using dangerous chemicals.

They clear out the entire house and just grow thousands of marijuana plants in there.

Where do we nip this in the bud?

Can you talk for a minute about what they're doing and why it's important that these steps be taken?

Well, it's really important to devolve education back to where it began in our country, which was the local level.

Obviously, in the late 70s, President Jimmy Carter started the Department of Education as a payoff to the teachers' unions for education.

giving him money and helping him get elected.

And what we have seen is a drop in student performance ever since the creation of the Department of Education.

So what the Trump administration is trying to do is to send power and money back to the states and ideally the local communities.

And the way they're going about it may not be as fast as organizations like Eagle Forum would like, but they're doing it in a very methodic, and very well thought out way.

When did it become more important for unions to be concerned about their power than actually educating our children?

Chris, you're up.

Thank you so much.

Well, I want to start by pointing out that the question of this debate is not whether the Trump administration is better for the pro-life movement than a Kamala Harris administration or any other Democrat.

Obviously the answer to that question is yes.

The question is, is the Trump administration doing enough to advance a pro-life agenda? And, you know, one simply needs to look at the number of abortions since 2023.

And I think the pro-life movement and more importantly, pro-life voters have reasons to feel disappointed in the second Trump administration.

And according to the pro-abortion Kaiser Family Foundation, the reason that abortions have increased since the Dobbs decision and really since 2023 is the increase in the abortion pill.

Given all the wins that I just mentioned, don't you agree that the political decision to downplay abortion during the election was worth it?

I think there was a headline the other day that said something along the lines of, how has Lindsay Clancy herself managed to become, in some people's minds, a bigger victim than her children? What's your thoughts on that? I mean, it really, this trial has taken on almost a life of its own, separate from the facts of the case.

That is so true.

You know, as a mother, I cannot imagine doing what this woman did.

And any thinking, feeling person says there's got to be something wrong with her because normal people don't do that.

However, what is the most shocking is how our culture has almost elevated her as a heroine or as an every woman.

This is what all women go through.

This is Because of our patriarchy and the horrible burdens of motherhood, this is what women should expect to feel and do as mothers.

I mean, it's really been laughable to see the way that the feminist movement has taken this debate.

What first brought you to Eagle Forum in the beginning? What's your background?

Well, I graduated from law school at Catholic University in Washington, D.C., and I had a great professor there who was involved in not only the pro-life movement, but the education movement, parents' rights and education.

And I decided that public policy was my love.

And my mom actually went to hear Phyllis speak in North Carolina, and she talked about getting young people involved.

And my mom said, well, my daughter's in D.C. and she wants a job.

So Phyllis, of course, pulled out a piece of paper and said, tell her to call my office, which I did.

And I went down for an interview.

Explain that to our audience, because that's a bill that we haven't talked a lot about.
