'PATHETIC!': House hearing ERUPTS over 'woke ideology'

[0:00] They're tired of the extremism that's coming on the Democratic side. [0:04] I mean, we just came, they just passed a law in New York that says that, you know, [0:08] women are now not gestating females, that, you know, mothers and fathers are non-gestating. [0:13] You know, I mean, what are we doing here? [0:15] That was New York Congresswoman Claudia Tenney with me here last weekend on New York State [0:22] Democrats sending a bill to the desk of Governor Kathy Hochul that would strike the terms mother [0:28] and father. Yes, you heard that right. They want to strike the words mother and father from law [0:34] and replace those terms with gestating parent and non-gestating parent, if you can believe that. [0:41] We'll see if Kathy Hochul signs it. The House on Wednesday held a hearing with [0:45] superintendent from schools across the country on the eroding of parental rights amid a push [0:50] for progressive policies at the expense of education. Congresswoman Lisa McLean questioned [0:55] the superintendent of Loudoun County Public Schools in Virginia on an incident last year [1:00] at a high school in which a biological female who identifies as a male filmed biological males [1:06] in the boys' locker room. The biological males ended up receiving a longer suspension [1:11] than the biological female who did the filming. Watch this. [1:15] Our school division would not discipline students absent a violation of our disciplinary policies. [1:21] Excuse me, what the heck does that mean? [1:23] Our school division would not discipline students absent a violation of our disciplinary policies. [1:28] So what realm does that make sense to you, sir? [1:32] Our school division would not discipline students. [1:33] That's a great answer to a question I didn't ask. [1:35] You are extremely weak, pathetic, and thank God my children didn't go to your school. [1:40] I disagree with your characterization. [1:42] You can disagree hyper-reduedictive. [1:43] Jeremy Nass, the woman herself, the chairwoman of the House Republican Conference and a member of the House [1:49] Education Committee, Michigan Congresswoman Lisa McLean. Congresswoman, good to see you. [1:54] What was that all about? [1:55] You know, it's sick, it's weak, it's pathetic, it's disgusting. [2:00] We had the chair—the administrator from Loudoun County Schools try to answer some questions, [2:06] some simple questions. [2:07] I mean, he's the leader. [2:08] He's supposed to be in charge, and he can't answer a question. [2:12] We wanted to shed light on what's going on in our education system today. [2:17] We're not focused on reading, writing, and arithmetic, and that's evident because all [2:21] of the test scores are going down. [2:24] What we are focused on is this woke ideology. [2:27] I mean, think about this for one moment. [2:29] First of all, we're having females in male locker rooms. [2:34] All right. [2:35] In and of itself, that's a problem. [2:36] Then, when the female tapes the male student, who is the victim, the victim gets a harsher [2:45] penalty than the female student? [2:48] I mean, come on. [2:50] This is exactly the kind of idiocracy that is going on in these education systems. [2:56] And we have to expose it. [2:57] And that's what we intend to do. [2:59] It's sick, it's weak, it's disgusting. [3:01] And if you can't answer a question, what I would suggest, you need to step down and get somebody in there who can answer a question. [3:06] Well, I mean, do you think this is resonating with the American people? [3:09] What do you need to do to ensure you don't lose the majority in the House? [3:13] What is the most important messaging you need to convey to voters coming up to the midterms? [3:19] Yeah. [3:20] This is going to be a contrast for America. [3:23] It's going to be a contrast election between common sense and crazy. [3:28] Republicans were common sense. [3:29] I think males should go in male locker rooms. [3:32] Females should go in female locker rooms. [3:34] I actually think we should punish the criminal and take care of the victim. [3:40] The other side is absolutely crazy. [3:43] And that is what we need to focus on, common sense versus crazy. [3:47] Also, we need to talk way more about what we've already done for America. [3:53] Let me remind everybody, every single Democrat voted to raise your taxes by not signing on to the one big, beautiful bill or the working families tax cuts. [4:05] Maria, it's really simple. [4:06] Democrats want more of your money. [4:08] And what do they want it for? [4:09] They want it for the waste, the fraud, the abuse. [4:13] They want open borders. [4:14] They want to defund the police. [4:17] They want, you know, no biology, biological gender. [4:22] It's the craziest thing I've ever seen. [4:25] Americans want common sense, and that's what the Republicans are here to provide. [4:29] Well, you couldn't extend, you didn't extend FISA. [4:32] You didn't get Save America passed. [4:34] I mean, how are we supposed to believe that our elections are secure when you had, you know, [4:39] so many years of wide open borders under Joe Biden. [4:42] You've got mail-in ballots. [4:43] I mean, what are you going to do to get the secure America across the finish line? [4:47] Americans want this. [4:49] They want to be able to know that people have shown citizenship proof. [4:53] Right. [4:54] That's not too much to ask, and you are spot on. [4:56] In my opinion, this is one of the most critical pieces of legislation. [5:01] Now, we've passed it out of the House, but what we're going to have to do is we are going [5:05] to have to attach it to a reconciliation bill or a must-pass bill and kick it over to the Senate [5:11] and let the Senate do their job. [5:14] Put them on record. [5:16] Make them vote. [5:18] Make them take a vote. [5:20] This is common sense. [5:21] It's an 80-20 issue. [5:23] We have to do the right thing in the House and actually conduct it. [5:26] We continue to push. [5:27] You're not going to have the time, right? [5:29] What do you have, like 14, 15 legislative days left until the August? [5:32] 15 days. [5:33] Yep. [5:33] Until the August recess. [5:34] So what are you going to get done in 15 days? [5:36] Is it all about the midterms at this point? [5:38] Well, in my opinion, yes, it is about the midterms. [5:42] But we have a short period of time, and we need to deliver Save America for the American people [5:47] for safe and secure elections. [5:48] The president is right when he says if we don't do this, it is going to continue to be a lot of mistrust out there. [5:57] We have to let the American people trust what we're doing. [6:01] This isn't—this is common sense. [6:05] Pass the bill. [6:06] Yeah. [6:06] No, you know what, Congressman? [6:07] We appreciate your leadership, and we're going to be watching your work. [6:11] Thanks so much for being here this morning. [6:12] Thank you. [6:13] All right, Congressman Lisa McClain.
