Lauren Boebert’s WILD Rumors, Her Receipts, and a $121 Barrel of Oil | Nancy Mace
[00:00] All right. Good evening, America. And you're at the Get Maced podcast with Congresswoman Nancy Mace. Let's get let's get to it. All
[00:40] right. Good evening and glad to be back. I had kind of a wild weekend. I attended a college football game and the left literally lost its mind. You know, sometimes I'll post things on social media because I know the left is just going to overreact and they're going to say something totally out of hand, out of turn. But apparently, if you're a woman in this country and you attend a football game, you're a whore and you are mentally ill. That's what they'll call you if you go to a football game. If you're notorious for taking on the libtards and the libs and the liberals and the socialists and the communists and the trolls, if you take them on, apparently there's no end to the narrative. If you take them on, apparently there's no end to the narrative. If you take them on, they'll call you and maybe we'll get to that tonight. I'm not sure. I wrote this sketch earlier. I don't know how far we'll get to it tonight. But, you know, I owned the libs last week from Mehdi Hassan and debating him on on on Pierce Morgan.
[01:42] I even had a TV host text me over the weekend and he was like somebody you all know, by the way, and I will I will not sink him. I won't expose him or say who it is. But he's like, why do you do this? I was like, do what? He's like, scrap. And I'm like, somebody's somebody's got to do the scrapping. He's like, you know, you're above all of this. However, one, I enjoy debating people with opposite ideologies. I think America deserves a debate because too often we each get nestled into our sides and each side is right and somebody dies. Right. It's good to have a good old American fashion debate where nobody gets shot. Nobody gets murdered. Nobody gets killed for their beliefs. And we get to scream at each other about how right we are. I think that that is nothing more American than American pie than that. Tonight, we're going to get into the Lauren Boebert ethics complaint. By the way, I have a lot to say about that. I talked to Lauren over the weekend. But the author of that complaint was a alleged Democrat super PAC guy.
[02:50] I just I can't even we'll go there. And I did something crazy this weekend. I agreed with a Democrat sink Uyghur from the Young Turks. And we'll put a link in here. The sky might be filled with locusts. After I retweeted him in agreement with him. And then I said two words at a football game, two words, by the way, and the internet needed a support group and a therapy session.
[03:19] Both words that I said were being chanted by 80,000 people. But God forbid Nancy Mace, the biggest troll of the left and the Democrats and socialists and commies, the biggest troll of all of those people who've lost their mind.
[03:35] Can't look at the scoreboard.
[03:38] And then we're going to talk about Sharia law. I got into a debate this weekend with a friend of mine who's Muslim and not happy with me right now. I don't hate all Muslims. Okay. I, I loathe and I detest and I'm terrified as a woman. I hate all Muslims. I hate all Muslims. I hate all women of radical Islam, of, of those that are coming into our country and being, we're peaceful Muslims. And yet, by the way, they're doing all these things that are indicative of the Sharia law that is here. It's here in the United States, by the way, but also in it's in obviously in Muslim, certain Muslim countries, you know, I'd like to think that there are, you know, millions of Iraqi girls who, and Afghani girls who haven't seen a classroom. They probably have something to say about Sharia law, you know, and many Muslims in the world are in denial about Sharia law. So let's talk about that tonight. And then I was on the road this weekend, uh, going to the football game at the university of South Carolina to see one of my kids who's there, a proud mom.
[04:41] It was parents weekend. So hats off and congratulations to all the parents who have a kid in school. Uh, and it was parents weekend for you. I understand the stress of getting there, but the fun of hanging out. And I got to meet so many parents, um, who were helping, you know, guide our children to their future. Uh, it was a great time, but on the way to Columbia gas was 449 a gallon in Bowman, South Carolina. We're talking about a small town in the small state of South Carolina where the 87 lead lead at 87, the lowest, you know, fuel tank you can get a fuel type you can get was 449 a gallon.
[05:25] Um, that's crazy to me, but you know, it has to do with Riyadh. It has to do with the Houthis in Yemen. It has to do with the Iran war and the Strait of Hormuz. It all connects together and we'll get into some substantive detail about that. And then last night, God bless his soul. God bless him. Patrick Clancy did an interview with 60 minutes and, uh, it was his, his, his first interview since the mistrial. And we're going to cover it very carefully tonight.
[05:57] Um, so,
[05:59] you know, I used to work the, the grave night shift at the Waffle House and I've had, I've seen some rough Mondays, but, uh, this one definitely made the list. Let's go.
[06:12] All right. Before I get into Lauren, Lauren Boebert's scandals, I want to get into my scandals. I want to give you a little behind the scenes flavor of what it's like being a member of Congress who's controversial because you talk about common sense. Who's controversial because you don't care what other people think. And some of the things you say fly in the face of leadership. And when they target you, they're trying to destroy you. And Lauren Boebert became a victim of that over the weekend, but I'm no, I'm no stranger to this sort of thing happening. The things that, that, uh, reporters and journalists and media outlets get away with. If you say something false in an affidavit or in a deposition, I recently learned all of that is protected. So it doesn't matter if you lie in court pleadings or if you lie to the press, as long as it says alleged and at least press reports, as long as it says alleged, you're free to say whatever the hell you want. And, you know, as public figures, we don't, we don't get, we don't get a, we don't get a say, like we can't, we can deny it all day long, but nobody believes us, but we don't get a, we don't get to have our say in court.
[07:22] We don't get to sue people because defamation isn't the threshold for us. Our threshold is defamation per se with actual, we have to prove that the person knowingly stated these things with falsity, that they knew those statements were false when they said them. And that is a much higher threshold, even though we all know, everyone knows that they're false and they're BS. Um, but it's a much harder threshold for us. So for example, the New Yorker, I think it was a New Yorker that stated in an article that I ordered shots of tequila or tequila liquor from my employees at 2am, but I had it delivered to me at 2am. 2am. Now, now mind you forget that I've never done a shot of tequila in my life, by the way, like never. I do like a skinny margarita with sugar or salt or something spicy on top every once in a while. Hell, I've had spicy skinny margaritas at lunch one. Um, you know, my threshold for alcohol is one to two drinks a day, a couple of days a week. I have, um, I have a, a genetic disorder that I can't, it would be awful of me if I ever, ever imbibed or if I got drunk or anything like that, I would get cancer.
[08:33] I would kill my organs. I have a genetic disorder, but suffice to say, I shouldn't be drinking alcohol at all because of my genetic disorder, but I do enjoy a glass of wine from time to time. I do enjoy a skinny margarita, but I never once ordered tequila from my staff at 2am. And in fact, um, you know, when you're going through these things, when they're coming at you in the press, you don't always think about bang, what's the one thing that could really get you out of this. But I didn't realize it till after the show. The New Yorker printed, but liquor stores in DC are open after like, I don't know, nine, 10, 11 o'clock at night. They're not open at 2am.
[09:06] So, you know, it would have been better if I had defended myself and said, Hey, all liquor stores are closed before midnight, you know, 10pm, 11pm, whenever they are in DC, they're not open after midnight in DC. And there's a reason for that. Um, that would have been more believable, but I didn't look it up. And, you know, I offered to the reporter at the time, I said, Hey, why don't I give you, you know, why don't I have you look at my security? And he said, Hey, why don't I give you, you know, why don't I have you look at my security footage, right? I have, uh, I'm a member that's harassed and I've had, have had my homes, um, defaced. I've had my, I, my house was one time spray painted. I've had a house broken into. I've had another house vandalized. So, you know, what if I gave you my security footage, go look for yourself that I didn't have anybody come over at 2am ever in my life. I've never had anybody come over to my home at 2am. Okay. Never, never happened ever. Um, and they didn't, they didn't obviously want that. Because it would debunk the entire story. So, um, you know, I, that's what we, that, that's what, uh, that's what we deal with.
[10:10] Okay. Uh, you know, um, liquor stores are closed in DC at 2am. Nobody's delivering me alcohol at 2am. My door was never opened at 2am, but that doesn't matter. Facts don't matter. Security footage, nothing. Um, Hey, I would say I tell, I joke with people that I, I live like a nun. Um,
[10:30] I have a very boring life. I have two dogs and a cat. Um, my cat's dying. Uh, I just got a puppy recently. And so, you know, for the last couple of years, I've had Liberty who was a puppy. Now she's a grown woman. She's five. Um, but my calendar is not lively. I don't go to parties. I don't go out drinking with other members. I don't have dinner. I don't go to cocktail parties. I don't get invited to dinners. Um, there's none of that. I've, I've never had, I've not ever had a DUI incident, never been pulled. I don't, I haven't been pulled over for anything. And I think probably close to 20 years. Um, you know, my social calendar means I'm in bed at eight 30 at night and the wildest thing on tape you might find are my puppies, my pajamas, but by nine o'clock it's lights out. The babies want to go to bed. And so, um, you know, facts matter. Um, but on Wednesday of last week, there was an ethics complaint allegedly filed against Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, um, that she, it alleged that she had three affairs with different staff, two of them are women.
[11:34] Um, and everywhere, uh, all hours of the day, all locations, people were paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to be paid off. And this story was treated like a verdict and Lauren Boebert, God bless her, put out a tape, uh, yesterday, I believe exonerating herself. Journalists. Now that I'm finished with my more important task of the day, I have a few words for you. You all ran a smear and called it news. Some sloppy, desperate, obsessive hack stamps under oath on a fake filing. So you'll write penalty of perjury in the headline. Yeah, that's the whole freaking trick. It's a scam and you fell for it. No member of Congress certified in writing that his, um, but I have to tell you, it's hard enough to find staff on the Hill that are worth a damn, let alone find staff that'll sleep with you that are worth a damn. Um, I don't believe in any iota that any of that happened, uh, with Lauren Boebert. And in fact, her employees have denied that it happened. And I told her over the weekend, I said, you know, uh, you don't have a clear path to defamation here because of the way the laws work and they're against public figures when it comes to defamation or defamation per se, but your employees do the source of the ethics complaint matters tonight because the source is a, uh, reporter who allegedly is the founder of a Democrat super PAC.
[12:58] It wasn't one of her employees. She's coming forward with evidence. And again, every accusation against me, there's no evidence of it. There's just some former disgruntled employee that I fired who has come forward with such courage and such bravery about what an awful boss that I was. There's a reason why I fired people from my office. And so when you look at the source of the complaint, this is a guy that started a, a Democrat super PAC, and he's been going after Lauren Boebert for years and the left just, you know, filing, you know, paperwork about Republican women is just, it seems to be his business model. Um, and the same outfit in 2022, there was a hit and the fact checkers shredded it. Uh, he published allegedly published photos of a different woman. Couldn't clear the bar of, is this even her? And did research like a raccoon does their taxes. So Boebert put out a flat denial yesterday was on the record. The staffers were named. Those are private citizens, uh, federal employees of the federal government or private citizens.
[14:00] Uh, public figures, but he named them and shamed them. Um, there was no evidence. There was a filing fee and a press list. That's all there was by, and it was filed by a guy that's running a Democrat super PAC who was, who was opposed Lauren Boebert in the past. So when you just take that basic evidence of who filed this and that you actually can't file ethics complaints within 60 days of an election to get it reviewed, they will not be reviewed. Um, then you realize, Hey, this is all a bunch of, basically it's a bunch of, and, and you realize it is what it is. And Lauren Boebert, by the way, God bless her for all of her faults. I love her to death though. She was one of only four Republicans to sign on to the discharge petition for the Epstein files. I was one of those four and every one of those four have been targeted for political annihilation, by the way. So she's, she's one of the, one of us, and I will help her.
[15:02] Until my dying breath, because I respect her and I believe in her. And I appreciate what she's done for as a survivor. I appreciate what she's done for, for all of us. So to get into the weekend, my notes say, I want to, I want to talk about the football game. I went to the university of South Carolina football game with one of my kids this weekend, who's a sophomore, technically an academic junior because they've done so well. I'm very proud of Mike. Kids, by the way, they have dealt with a lot growing up being the children of, of me and who I am in my job and the death threats that come with it. They are remarkably normal. And, you know, I didn't expose my children to the lifestyle. I didn't expose my children to the privilege or the honor of, I'd say the entitlement isn't the right word, but I think there's an element of privilege where you're escorted here, there, everywhere as a member of Congress.
[16:03] I didn't expose my kids to that. I wanted my kids to be normal. I wanted them to be humble as they were growing up, but I was at parents weekend with all the other parents, thousands of other parents this weekend. And I posted two words at the South Carolina, two words that 80,000 people chanted.
[16:20] The team, university of South Carolina, their name is the Gamecocks. They've been the Gamecocks for over a hundred years.
[16:29] And my post got, I don't know, last I checked 6 million, 7 million, 8 million views on it. Um, but there's a complete meltdown. I said, go Cox, go Cox is what I said. Um, in the stadium, one side yells, go one side yells Cox. So it's go Cox, go Cox, go Cox. Okay. That's the chant. That's what they chant during the game. And, um, there was just a complete F. Melting meltdown. Not because I think, because it was said it's because I said it right. I'm not allowed to go to a football game. I'm not allowed to dress nicely inappropriately at a football game. I was, I was in a turtleneck and people said I was inappropriately dressed. I was told I had hooker shoes on. I had the most conservative shoes. There wasn't an inch of skin other than my face and my hands and a little cutout here. I was completely covered.
[17:30] I was in a turtleneck. Okay. Turtle neck. I was completely covered up only my hands and my face. So I even, I didn't even show a sliver of ankle, man, like nothing. And, um,
[17:46] I apparently, uh, you know, apparently I'm not allowed to do that. I'm, I'm was, was, I guess I wasn't covered up enough. Um, they said I wore the same clothes as I wore earlier in the week, which also wasn't true. Anyway, it was hilarious.
[18:04] I antagonize the left sometimes because I know how they're going to overreact and I kind of love it. Um, it shows how crazy Democrats are. It shows how out of their effing mind they are. If you do something very normal, very common, very mundane, this is what 80,000 people are doing on a Saturday. All of a sudden I'm the one that needs a therapist. Uh, you know, with the people who are commenting behind a keyboard, angry at a woman they have never met. Like, I'm crazy. Not the one behind the keyboard who is, who are railing on a woman, uh, that they've, that they've never met. It's funny to me. Like it's, it's completely hilarious. So, um, I'm not going to stop posting when I leave Congress. Like I enjoy it. I enjoy it. And don't forget, I know what I'm doing. So be mindful.
[18:56] Sink Wigger out of the Young Turks also, um, told his own side of the Lauren Boebert story. Um, me and Sink Wigger are going to be talking about the same page.
[19:07] Uh, I just can't believe that, but here we are. I agree with him as often as I see a solar eclipse, which is like never, maybe I've seen, I've seen one solar eclipse in my life, maybe two, but I said it online and I, I'm going to say it here. Lauren Boebert should sue it. I, you know, it's hard as a public figure to have, to have the grounds to sue, but her employees absolutely have the grounds to sue and they should, um, sue this guy into a different tax bracket. Uh, the staffers are first in line. They have a lot of money. They have a lot of money. A real case, I believe, um, on defamation protections where politicians don't, um, you know, my denials cost me an eye roll and a tax, but the names of these kids in federal filings, uh, so a PAC could have a Tuesday. It's wrong. These are very young people. They're working really hard. Um, but the rule of the night is receipts. So no receipt equals, you know, trash. So me, Lauren Boebert or someone, uh, you can't stand, just carry the receipts.
[20:10] All right. So talking about receipts, we're talking about Sharia law receipts. I got into a debate this weekend with a friend of mine who is, who's Muslim and doesn't like some of the things that I have said recently and, uh, wants me to apologize for it. I'm not going to apologize for it, by the way. I'm not. What is happening in this country is wrong. Even he agrees. Muslims should have been banned from being imported here, becoming citizens here 50 years ago. Um, much too many, too many. And, and it's too late basically is what he was saying. And he claimed that Sharia law doesn't exist in a single Muslim country. And there are over 50 Muslim countries in the world. And, you know, I don't have a law degree. I have a, I have a, you know, a Bob podcast and I'm a member of Congress. Um, but this is an argument we hear from a lot of Muslims that there is no Sharia law, that it doesn't exist, that these other countries don't practice Sharia. Well, that's just not true. Go ask any Afghan girl. When was the last time she went to school? Ask a woman in Saudi Arabia when she got the right to drive.
[21:13] Go ask a girl in Iran. What was the name of the last Iranian woman who was stoned for the crime of showing her hair? All of these follow, follow, fall under Sharia law. Uh, women have no rights under, if she gets divorced, her father takes her life over. If she's raped, it's her fault. Everything is the woman's fault under Sharia law. Um, so that's what's, you know, that's what we're talking about. There are a hundred plus decrees on, on women. This is the last count at the UN. Um, in Afghanistan, school ends in sixth grade for women and the only country on earth where girls are barred past primary school. There are 2 million plus girls out of school in Afghanistan right now tonight that aren't being educated. Because you know why? They're women. And you know why else? Because there's Sharia law.
[22:11] And, uh, women are banned. There's no travel after, there's no travel 45 plus miles without, there's no travel without a male guardian in Afghanistan if you're a woman. Women are banned from parks and gyms. And in December of 2022, they were banned from university.
[22:30] So a spokesman for the universities, universities in Afghanistan say that policy has been finalized. In Iran, there's a penal code. From Sharia and the morality police, you've seen the videos of the morality police.
[22:45] Masa Amini arrested over a hijab. She was dead while in custody at the age of 22.
[22:56] Martyrs got to prison. Women who were removed their hijab got worse. They got death. In Saudi Arabia. Sharia is the foundation of their legal system and their basic law public executions are on record in, well, Okay, I'm not entirely opposed to public executions. I just called for the public execution of Lindsay Clancy. So I'm not totally against them. But apparently, male guardianship is part of Saudi law. And it's only recently been loosened. It's only recent that women in Saudi Arabia are allowed to drive now. Now, how many women actually do drive in Saudi Arabia? I do not know. But they were only recently allowed to drive. In Brunei, 2019, stonings on the books. Adultery plus being gay gets you killed. So no, sir. Ask the schoolgirl in Kabul. Ask Masa Amini's mother.
[23:53] Ask the women in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq. Ask them if Sharia law doesn't exist. And I think the story you'll get is a different one. But honestly, the ironic part is that most Muslims come to the United States to escape these regimes. But the unfortunate part is that our country has let in people from extremist regimes who want to do real harm. We aren't vetting the people coming over. We've had wide open borders for years. We aren't vetting some of the people coming from these horrible countries. And look, I've been to the Middle East. I have traveled overseas. I have been to Muslim countries. I've covered up in Muslim countries because that's the culture.
[24:41] I've been to
[24:50] Middle East. I have
[24:59] up in Muslim countries because that's the culture. How can we not see that? And the hijab is oppression. It's oppressive of women. And we're putting women in hijabs, girls in hijabs, and the Girl Scouts. What are we even talking about anymore? I don't understand it.
[25:18] So, you know, and some will say, well, you know, the hijab is voluntary. It's voluntary. It's only voluntary if she has somewhere else to go. So the idea that Sharia law doesn't exist anywhere, that is a lie. Don't let your Muslim neighbor tell you that because it's not true. I like a Muslim who's going to tell you the truth, who's going to tell you that it is here, that it's in communities in private, that they're using it in arbitration, that they're using it off the books, that they're using it in loans off the books. Like, I want people to be honest about what's happening. Lying about the world when Sharia law is running Michigan and is lying about America. Gas is now $4.48 a gallon on average. I just drove through Bowman, South Carolina, a small red town in a small red state, and it was $4.48 a gallon on average. a gallon yesterday. A year ago, it was $3.18 a gallon. It is up $1.30 or $1.40 average per month at the pump. South Carolina crossed the $4 mark in May. It's been the first time since 2022 under the Biden administration that gas and fuel has been over $4 here in the state of South Carolina.
[26:23] But, you know, this has everything to do with the Iran war, to which I am opposed. I do not want troops on the ground in Iran. And what has happened since the war in Iran has only made matters worse. Groceries and gas are up. The price of everything is up. Europe is not going to get any oil from Saudi this fall.
[26:43] This is a really terrible thing that has happened. And, you know, the U.S. says we've been at war with Iran, Israel, and the U.S. have been at war with Iran for 47 years. That's not true.
[26:55] We've not been at war for 47 years. Otherwise, it would have been declared a war. And, you know, we need to bring our troops home. We need to bring gas prices down, grocery prices down. But what this has done, this war has done, is affect the oil market. And we're all seeing it at the pump. Tankers have now been rerouted to the Red Sea. Insurers price in missiles every barrel. Every barrel costs more now. Even Texas barrels of oil cost more. And it's not a coincidence. This has everything to do with the supply chain. Here, on Saturday, the Houthis launched ballistic missiles at Riyadh. Riyadh is the mainstay in Saudi Arabia. Those missiles were intercepted, but the Houthis are warning Riyadh off of Yemen. The Saudis are thinking about going into Yemen. And this was a warning shot to the Saudis to say out of Yemen. This is about the Red Sea. This is a multinational level coalition that's building.
[27:57] And the Saudis want a... us in it. There were strikes. They're building a coalition over in the Middle East. They want a commitment from the United States to defend Saudi Arabia, piece by piece. And I said on the Armed Services Committee, we've not voted on this. We've not had a discussion about this, not once, no floor debate. The war powers in Congress, they belong to Congress. And both parties treat that as a suggestion for now for the last 25 years. It's not a suggestion. Escalation is the gas price, okay? The reason that, you know, gas prices are up are because of the war. And a missile at Riyadh means that the pump in Somerville, South Carolina is going to go up. If, you know, the Sauds are turning off oil for other people in other parts of the world, prices are going to go up here within 72 hours.
[28:48] The Saudis hold spare capacity. So if export terminals get hit, by the way, 448 looks like a deal.
[28:57] I mean, it looks like a really, really big deal. So, you know, the Saudis are good deal. And there is a nuclear domino effect. So Turkey and Egypt want it, by the way. And this is a nuclear race in a region that's already shooting. It's very dangerous. And I'm not going to tell any jokes about Patrick Clancy. That's who we're going to get to next. I'm not, this is a serious discussion. I don't know if you saw his interview on 60 Minutes last night. But Patrick Clancy comes from a good family. I had a meeting in my office, last week with an individual who knows the Clancy family. I grew up with the Clancy family.
[29:37] And they're, they're good stock. They're, they're good people. They're Christian, Catholic.
[29:44] You know, he's been so strong through all of this. And it's been very difficult to watch what happened to him. I couldn't be as strong as he was. And so I'm not going to have any jokes in this segment. This is a heavy segment. And it matters for a lot of reasons. So last night, on 60 Minutes, Patrick Clancy did his first interview since the mistrial. And the jury, as you know, had a mistrial. There were 11 jurors that said mistrial. There were 11 jurors who wanted to claim her innocence. And there was just one lone Black juror who happened to be Republican and conservative, who said he looked at the evidence and said that she was guilty. He was the lone holdout. And now, Kevin Reddington, even his wife, Lindsay Clancy's attorney and her attorney's wife, are just going to be held accountable for the crime. And so I'm not going to after the lone Black juror. I've told y'all for a long time now, I think liberal white women are the most racist. And this is quite the example.
[30:38] She may face a retrial. We'll find out at the end of the month. But what he's carried, he found that three children in the basement. Patrick Clancy has carried a lot. He found three children in the basement, his children.
[30:51] Prosecutors played the 911 call.
[30:54] There was clearly, there was panic.
[30:59] And he battled, and he said he battled the 911 call. There was clearly, there was panic. And he battled, and he said he battled thoughts of ending his own life. This is a man who found all of his children dead, who contemplated ending his own life to meet his children on the other side. And still, he forgave his wife. And the biggest thing to me that came out of the 60 Minutes interview last night is that Lindsay Clancy has never once, not once, asked for forgiveness from her husband for murdering his children.
[31:28] There are a lot of internet detectives. There's zero evidence that say that Patrick Clancy was involved. He's innocent. If he was involved, Lindsay Clancy's attorneys would have said so. I mean, that would have been the greatest defense. And they didn't because they said she killed them. There's no argument that she killed the kids. There's no argument on why she killed the kids. The postpartum depression, postpartum psychosis is an explanation. It is not an excuse. And Kevin Reddington wants to use it as an excuse.
[32:01] He was remarried this spring. He's starting a family. He's got a baby on the way.
[32:06] And the internet put him on trial for that. God bless him. I mean, you have a finite period of time before your eggs run out, before you're no good, to be able to start a family. And I'm glad he's starting a family. Couldn't be soon enough. But a man who lost everything doesn't owe strangers online. He doesn't owe them a life sentence
[32:30] of grief. And his three children, Cameron, Dawson, and Callan, deserve to be remembered and remembered in the rightful way. And their father carries, he carries that memory. He forgave the mother who killed them. And then there was Governor Healy, also out of Massachusetts last week. She said she was going to spend $2 million to expand the Welcome Family Program. These are nurse visits from the government. She says they're voluntary, voluntary for now. But Lindsay Clancy wasn't missing a pamphlet. Okay. She wasn't missing prescriptions. She had them. She had all the access she needed. I believe she had all the access she needed. There was perhaps less communication than was ideal between the different medical practitioners, et cetera. But even according to the trial and according to experts, she wasn't even taking all the medicine that she was being prescribed. For example, there were only seven missing Zoloft pills out of the Zoloft prescription.
[33:34] I was prescribed Zoloft for my PTSD.
[33:38] Zoloft does not make you want to kill your children. It takes the edge off, some of the anxiety off. Zoloft helps me sleep at night. Because when you have PTSD, you have nightmares. When you have nightmares, you can't sleep. And so when you're on a cocktail of anti-anxiety medication, some of that can be very helpful, but it doesn't make you want to murder your children. And so for the new moms out there, if something feels wrong, say it out loud. Talk to somebody, talk to your doctor, talk to your spouse,
[34:06] the system, you know, isn't broken. You can get the help you need. There are plenty of resources for the help that you need. And I want you to know you're not alone. If you have postpartum depression or postpartum psychosis, you are not alone. There are millions of women that came before you that had postpartum and you need to get the help that you need to get through it. Because it is, it is terrible, but that doesn't mean it's an excuse to go murder your children. So one word tonight, and that's voluntary.
[34:37] Sharia law is voluntary, they say. A nurse at your front door is voluntary. Repeating rumors about Lauren Boebert or Nancy Mays or some other politician with no basis in fact, well, that's just, that's just voluntary.
[34:54] Washington is generous about being voluntary.
[34:58] What's not voluntary? The war. Nobody asked you what you wanted. The things government chooses for you are big. And the game is that the government is hoping that you're too tired of it. You're too tired of paying for it all to push back. That's been the way it's been for years, even decades. And that's why we are where we are today. I see you're not following me.
