Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 1383 | AOC Is Freezing Her Eggs — the Reality She Is Hiding from You
Episode Date: August 12, 2026Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is back in the spotlight, this time as an egg-freezing influencer. She shares vlogs of herself injecting hormones into her body to prepare her eggs to be harvest...ed and frozen indefinitely. AOC believes that women are not taught enough about their bodies, and her hope is for her journey toward freezing her eggs to be an example of what it looks like to live a full and controlled life. Allie sheds light on the reasons why the process of egg harvesting is not healthy or empowering for women and presents the ethical issues that come with IVF. Allie also explains why AOC’s decision to freeze her eggs may not be as politically motivated as it appears, considering the ending of her engagement with Riley Roberts, with whom she was in a relationship with for over 15 years. Allie explains why AOC’s actions do not reflect an economic problem, but a cultural problem that elevates the desires of adults over the needs of children. While she is seeking to be relatable, the message and methods AOC is portraying as empowering are, in reality, damaging to women. Allie concludes the episode with a conversation with Laura McDonald and Juliette Williams, two members of the Daughters of the American Revolution; giving an update on the controversy of allowing men identifying as women into the organization.

AOC harvesting her eggs to be frozen and publicly documenting this process.
She's glamorizing the lie that women can have it all.
We can't have it all because only we can bear children.
If you are under the delusion that you can do everything you want to do,
you can pursue this non-stop 80 hour a week career and then you can get married at 38 and have kids at 42.
You are lying to yourself.
And AOC, if she is pushing that idea, she is lying to you.
Hey, y'all, welcome to Relatable. Happy Wednesday. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far. As you can see, we're in a little bit of a different setup because right after I record this, I will be recording my Friday episode with Vanessa Sivage. We are sitting down with her after her historic settlement. Remember, we had her on a couple of years ago. She was our Share the Arrow's Award winner in 2024, our first ever because she blew the whistle on Texas Children's, that huge hospital.
down in Houston, their illegal practices in prescribing cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers to kids,
and also fraudulently using Medicaid to do it. It was crazy. And she bravely came forward and the federal
government sicked their authorities on her. And now that the trial is over, she is finally able
to tell all and to tell details of the past few years that she has never revealed before. So make sure
you tune in on Friday morning too relatable where we're sitting down with Vanessa.
And just one more thing happening on Friday that I've got to promote before we get into
the rest of today's episode.
I've got another Jubilee debate coming out.
So the Jubilee debate that was published back in October that I did was by far the most,
I guess I could say popular thing that I've been a part of, maybe the most viewed,
but definitely the most disgust.
I have people come up to me all the time,
and they might not know what my podcast is.
They've never heard of relatable,
but they're like, oh my gosh, that's surrounded debate.
I've seen you in that.
And so that was such a fun opportunity that I was honored to be a part of.
And now I'm going to be a part of another Jubilee debate.
This time it's a one-on-one debate, very different format.
And it's about feminism and Christian nationalism, abortion, sexuality, gender.
So much was covered to make sure you tune in on Friday and then we'll be doing a recap episode next week.
All right, let's get into today's episode.
Y'all might be able to guess what I'm going to talk about because I talked about it on X and I got a ton of blowback for what I said.
And that is AOC harvesting her eggs to be frozen and publicly documenting this process.
So you've got a lot of people saying, just right off the bat, let me say that this is none of your business.
you shouldn't be talking about this. You shouldn't be discussing this on the podcast. You shouldn't
have commented about it on X. We'll talk about what I said on X and why people got so angry.
But let me just say right up front that AOC is chronicling this on social media. Now, what are
her motivations for that? We can guess. She says it's to just show women in their 30s who are
career driven that this is an option to have children. I don't know. But when you post something
for public consumption, you are allowing people to offer their opinions about that thing.
And this is not a neutral topic. This fits right into the subjects that we discuss a lot,
which is fertility treatments, what it does to a woman's body, the ethical and moral risk
of removing conception from sex and removing conception, certainly from marriage and all of the
potential consequences of that. And so, yeah, we're going to talk about it.
it. AOC, the politician, the fellow millennial that we have been talking about for years is publicly
touting the benefits of egg harvesting in your mid-30s. We're going to talk about it. So if you don't know,
she posted this video on her social media showing the injection process that is supposed to, you know,
stimulate your eggs and so she can go through the process of harvesting them.
and she said this in her video, saw one.
Deco and I, day one of freezing my eggs.
I'm diving into the process, and now I've got, let's see, all of this medicine here.
I'm going to inject this first, but I got a pro tip from a friend because this injection
kind of stings, it kind of burns a little bit.
So a friend of mine told me that if you make the first injection first
and let it sit while you're making, while you're doing everything else,
maybe it burns a little less, I don't know.
Don't be weird about this, even though I know all of you won't be.
So just to explain exactly what she's doing, for those of you who don't know,
this is the stage of the egg freezing process that requires two weeks,
of daily hormone shots. So follicle stimulating drugs to make the sacks inside a woman's ovary
that hold the egg grow. And then you also have the drug to keep the eggs from being released
until a doctor can retrieve them. So that's what she's, that's what she's doing here.
She has like this two-step process of injecting herself with hormones so that the eggs will be
ready to be harvested and then she will go to her doctor's office and she'll be given either just
medication to mitigate the pain. There's actually a whole New York Times podcast about this and how
painful this can be and how women sometimes are just not treated well in these situations.
Sometimes they're put under completely and so they'll harvest the eggs and then they will be removed
and they will be flash frozen and then they will remain frozen until AOC.
decides that she, you know, maybe if she has a sperm donor, sperm seller, or maybe she finds
someone that she wants to have children with and wants to give his sperm. And then she will likely
go through the IVF process, which we've detailed many times on this show in order to create
her child. Those embryos will be, or an embryo, could be transferred into her womb and she could
have her own child, or she might, depending on when she wants to have children,
children, she could have a surrogate and she could try to create the embryos or transfer the
embryos and grow the embryos, gestate them that way. It still could be she's 36 years old that
she is able to have her own children naturally in the next several years, but it looks like
she is kind of already betting that that's not going to happen and that she is planning to use IVF,
possibly surrogacy in the future in order to have children.
She shared that she has been thinking about freezing her eggs and saving money for the
process for years.
She wanted to share her journey because she believed she said that women generally are not
taught enough about their bodies.
True.
And need more examples of living full lives with every kind of choice.
Okay, that's one way to think of it.
She acknowledged there would be pushed back for being so public about her process,
but she was willing to take that risk for the sake of empowerment.
Okay, that's great.
At least she knows there's going to be pushed back from people like me,
and she's willing to take that.
So for all of you out there who say it's none of your business,
you shouldn't talk about it.
At least AOC is tough enough to know that if she's going to public
commentary about it and it has consequences,
not just for AOC, but for all of the women that she is advertising to.
Because she is conveying a message.
She's not just vlogging about her daily life.
She is conveying a message.
She is making a case.
She is saying that this is an acceptable way to live your life.
This is how you can order your years, order your priorities, and this is what it looks like,
a version of what it looks like, to live a full life, to defer marriage, to defer motherhood,
to pursue other things, and then you could have this insurance policy of harvesting your eggs,
and then you can still have everything that you want later on.
Well, is that actually true?
Is that probable?
Is that a healthy message to be conveying to young women?
I don't think so.
And that's why we're talking about it.
We'll get into more about what AOC thinks about egg freezing and then actually some surprising developments about her own relationships and that reveal maybe why she's doing this politically, personally.
We'll get into that in a second.
Quick pause to tell you about two things.
The first is share the arrows.
So if you are a Christian woman and you are looking for clarity and courage, come to share the arrows.
share the arrows.com. I'll give you a little tip to if you are looking at any of the social media
pages of the speakers, they will have their discount codes posted. And I'll give you another tip.
It is their first name 15. First name 15. When you go to ticket master after you go to share
the arrows.com, you can enter in their promo code. You'll get 15% off your tickets. Y'all,
it's going to be amazing. It is a no fluff gospel-centered worship filled Christian women's
teaching conference. We're going to get into a lot of apologetics this year. It's not just for married
women. It's not just for women with kids. It's for Christian women of all ages who just want to be
equipped in every sphere of life to be able to go forth and to be able to represent the truth of God.
Well, we've got Shane and Shane. We've got Rosaria Butterfield, Kostihan. We've got Elisa Childers,
Natasha Crane. We've got Grace Anna Castleberry, her mom, Audrey Brogie, and of course yours truly
share the arrows.com. All right. Let me tell you,
about a company that actually does care about women's health and that is making a product that
will actually help you whether you are trying to get pregnant, whether you are pregnant,
whether you are a postpartum in every stage that I just listed. I have been relying on
we heart nutrition and all of their supplements. What a game changer for my health,
my immune system, my hair, skin and nails. I started taking them at the beginning of 2024.
And they have just been so good and so helpful. This pregnancy, I really feel.
good and I think at least part of that is because I finally have a vitamin, a prenatal vitamin,
iron supplements, magnesium, omega-3s, probiotics that work with my body, that my body are
actually absorbing. I just got blood work down a couple weeks ago and my iron levels are great.
That is almost a never for me. And everything else looks perfect. And I'm just so thankful to
partner with this pro-life Christian family-owned company to ensure that I am my healthiest for my
family and for my baby. Go to weheartnutrition.com. Use code Alley and you'll save 20% no
matter how many times you've purchased before. Weheartnutrition.com code Alley. Okay, here is AOC
talking more about how egg freezing equals to her empowerment sought to. This is a choice that I am
making to feel more in control of my life. And if people want to make assumptions about my
decision, let them make those assumptions. I feel empowered to make this choice. I think it's a
very privileged position that I've been able to be able to make.
Okay, empowered, in control.
That's kind of the tell right there.
She wants to be in control.
She doesn't want to put it up to chance.
She doesn't want to trust God with this.
She doesn't want to see how things shake out.
She wants to take control.
What do we always say?
When technology takes us from what is natural to what is possible,
we have to ask that is this moral.
Is this ethical?
For Christians, is this biblical?
Is this right?
So often when we take a natural process into our own hands,
not often, or not always, but so often there are other consequences to that that we at least have to
consider. And that is one problem with how I see AOC presenting this as consequence less, as on the
same moral level as getting married, having children naturally prioritizing motherhood. So this is how
I responded to this on X that sent so many people on X into a dizzy. So here's what I said.
I said, number one, she's been with the same guy for years.
She's been with the same guy reportedly since college, and they were engaged at one point.
I said she's been with the same guy for years.
There's no reason that she couldn't have had kids yet.
Number two, she will now require, if she uses these frozen eggs to then create embryos,
require IVF or surrogacy to have a baby, which will always come with ethical and health risks that the baby is forced to bear.
Because, of course, that's true.
And let me pause and just elucidate.
that for a second. For those of you who are new, if you are using IVF, nine times out of 10, okay,
nine times out of 10, so I don't need to hear about the one exception that you represent out there.
I understand there are exceptions. Nine times out of 10, that is going to require creating
embryos, grading those embryos to see how healthy they are, and then discarding those embryos
based on whether they have some chromosomal anomaly. That could equal something like Down syndrome.
So you've got eugenics right from the start of the creation.
of those embryos. And then so often women make more embryos than they would ever transfer. And so you've got
multiple embryos, say, four embryos on ice because they weren't the gender that you wanted or they didn't
make the cut. And you're left with this ethical issue of whether you freeze them indefinitely, you abandon them,
you adopt them out to strangers, or you destroy them or you dedicate them to science. And so these are living
people, if we believe that a person is a person, no matter how small, that all people are made in God's
image from the moment of conception onward, then we have to think long and hard about the consequences
of IVF that is almost always the result of first freezing your ex. Okay. So that's what I'm
talking about. When I'm talking about the ethical and health risks that are carried by these
babies, it's disordered. We as adults make sacrifices on behalf of babies. We don't ask babies to
make sacrifices on behalf of us. And so often embryos are required to sacrifice.
themselves or their right to live and to be born for our wants and for our demands. And that is
wrong. Same with surrogacy. You are ripping that child away from the only home he or she has ever known
at the point of birth. And you are planning to do that, unlike with adoption. And so that is also
unethical. In all of these situations, we are asking these children to do hard things to fulfill our
wants and that is wrong. Okay. So that is probably the path that she's going to go down. So we have just
begun with this egg harvesting all of the, um, all of the potential ethical quandaries that she could
find herself in. Okay. So that's my second point. It's mostly why I'm talking about this. And then number
three, this is just true. It is very rare. Even via egg freezing and IVF that a woman is able to get
pregnant after 40. Most of the embryos she creates will never see the light of day if AOC does indeed
go on to create embryos. Now, people who are mad about this. I understand the internet is a difficult
place because we're reading fast. There's a lot going on. So I don't want to like condemn everyone.
But it's also, I've just realized, most people cannot think in terms of statistically or in general
or as a rule. They are always thinking about how they represent the exception and they have to
negate the rule because of their one anecdote that proves the exception. This is not me saying that
you should never get pregnant after 40 or it's impossible to get pregnant after 40 or that it's
always wrong to get pregnant after 40. There are women who they either didn't find the right
person, they get pregnant after 40 after they get married or there are women who couldn't
have a baby until after after 40 and they have a baby. There are all different kinds of reasons
a woman might get pregnant after 40 and they can all be beautiful. But when you are when you are
purposely deferring it, then you are choosing a much more difficult fertility path. That's just
true. Biology is actually real. We have a window of time in which our fertility peaks,
and then it goes way down. And people think that IVF and egg freezing, that that's a guarantee
of pregnancy. It's not a guarantee of pregnancy. It is very, very difficult for you to be able
to gestate that child after 40. Not impossible.
but much more difficult. God made our bodies to function a certain way. And so you're going through
all of these hormones. You're going through all of this money. You're taking all of these ethical
risks. And there is absolutely no guarantee. In fact, the percentage, the chance is very low of you
actually being able to gestate and birth that child. Okay. Fourth point. Purposely deferring
motherhood into your 40s. This is not talked about enough when we talk about when to have children,
as long as it depends on you.
I'm not talking about, you know, you can't help it.
But purposely deferring motherhood into her 40s means removing the possibility of her kids knowing their grandparents
and probably removing the possibility of her grandkids knowing her.
That is selfish.
That is just not a repercussion that is discussed enough when we are talking about the average age of marriage going up so much over the decades
and the average age of having your first child going up so much over the decades.
Again, if it's out of your control, okay, it's out of your control.
But purposely pursuing your career first and saying, I don't want to settle down until I'm 38
and then I don't want to have kids until I'm 40.
That is selfish.
It's not good for you.
It's likely not to end in an actual pregnancy.
You're probably then going to pursue all of these dangerous methods, both for you and
the baby.
And then your parents don't get to be around for them.
And you probably don't get to be around.
for your grandkids. I don't think that we realize the value of the wisdom and the presence
and the stability that is offered by grandparents. I just think we take that for granted.
It used to be, of course, that you would know your grandparents, you would know your great
grandparents, maybe even beyond that for at least a few years. But now, I mean, our kids
barely have any time with their grandparents at all because in some cases of the choices that
we are making. And again, with all of this, we're never asking, well, what are the consequences
for the kid? Like maybe it's not good for them to not grow up around grandparents. Maybe it's
not good for them to only have the option of parents who have no energy to meet all of their
needs. Again, I'm talking about the purposeful choice to defer motherhood into your 40s or
fatherhood into your 40s. There are selfish reasons for that. Okay, number five, freezing your eggs
is horrible for your health. It is horrible for your health. It's the same thing as like the
consequences of a man. It's not the same thing, but it's, we also talk about the consequences of this
when a man is injecting estrogen into his body to try to present like a woman. Okay, you have a man's body.
You have X, Y chromosomes. You're not supposed to have that much estrogen. Like, that's why if you did have
that much estrogen. Doctors would look at your blood work and they would say something's wrong.
We've got to fix that. But we're putting artificial estrogen into men so they can present as
women. And we're like, oh, yeah, it's totally fine. And then we're doing the same thing to women
who want to present as men. We're injecting testosterone. Again, if you were a woman who presented
with that high amount of testosterone, doctors would sound the alarm and they would try to do something
to fix it. But we're purposely inducing that. And now we see it's bad for your health. It can
deteriorate your genitalia. It is horrible for your internal hormones. It seems to be very bad for
your mental health and that it increases aggression and thoughts of violence and depression and all of
that. And so whenever we inject our body with artificial hormones, whether it's through
hormonal birth control or whether it's through cross-sex hormones or whether it's the hormones
to induce ovulation so your eggs will be ripe for harvesting so then you can go
flash freeze them, there are going to be consequences for that. There are going to be side effects.
There are studies that show that there is a link between freezing your eggs and even the hormonal
process of IVF and breast cancer and ovarian cancer that we talked to a sweet woman a few years
ago who was a surrogate. It was a horrible story. Her name was Brittany. And I believe this was the
first podcast where she shared her story and she was a surrogate for two gay men who wanted to
gestate their child, they found out that the, that Brittany had cancer, and they wanted her to abort the
child. Well, she didn't have to abort the child. She could do preterm delivery. They didn't want to
deal with a pre-me baby. And they were like, we're not taking care of your child. We don't want you
to adopt the child. We don't want you to take care of the child after birth. And so you have
to deliver the child. She delivered the child at 24 weeks. The child died. Horrible, horrible
situation. But she had been a surrogate multiple times, and she had breast cancer.
And she possibly, she was with her doctors exploring the possibility of the connection between her surrogacy journeys and the IVF was required for them and the cancer that she was now having to get chemotherapy for.
When we inject our bodies with things that they are not supposed to have at levels that are not being naturally created to do something that our body was not naturally created to do, which was carrying an embryo that isn't ours.
all kinds of consequences possibly exist.
And again, we're just not supposed to think about that.
We're supposed to think, oh, you have more control.
You're more empowered.
At least you can be a representative for the state of New York until you're 38 years old
and possibly run for president.
Who cares how that affects your body, your future health, and your kids?
And then number six, she's glamorizing the lie that women can have it all.
The truth is we can't.
No one can have it all.
It's not just women, but it is unique.
why we can't have it all. We can't have it all because only we can bear children and there is only a period of time that you can bear children. There may be another time for you to be able to pursue the things that preclude you for motherhood. It is possible to have a kind of work where you can prioritize motherhood in the home and you are also able to have your Etsy shop or host your podcast where you record a couple times a week. It is possible to be able to do those kinds of things at the same time.
But this kind of non-stop, ambitious, time-consuming work at the same time that your body is primed to have kids,
like you got to pick one or the other.
That is the reality.
I just want young women out there to hear you, if you want children, if you want children
and you want to be married, now is the time to prioritize that.
Now is the time.
Your 20s and 30s are the time to make sure that you are in a position to meet the right guy.
You are ready to dedicate the time and the effort and the love and the attention that is necessary to raising those children.
Now is the time.
You might in your 40s and 50s once all of your kids are in school have more time to be like the ambitious go-getter that you want to be.
perhaps, I don't know, depends on what you want to do, but you are probably going to have to
rearrange your life if that is the outcome that you want. Some jobs, again, some work is
conducive to also having young kids. It is possible. But being a congresswoman really isn't.
Running for president really isn't. Biology is real. How you order your life can make or break
your future. So just understand that. If you are under the delusion that you can do everything you want
to do, you can party, you can go from guy to guy, you can pursue this nonstop 80 hour a week career,
and then you can get married at 38 and have kids at 42. You are lying to yourself.
And AOC, if she is pushing that idea, she is lying to you. That's why I care about this. That's why I care
about this journey. It is bad for you. It's potentially bad for babies. And it is bad for our
country when our kids don't have grandkids anymore. And when we are not reproducing,
because you believed this idea that having babies in your 40s is just as likely as having
babies in your late 20s. It's not. It's not. You can be mad at me all you want to,
but you can scream at the sky about biology, but it is real. It is real. You don't,
don't freeze your eggs to only then pursue IVF and surrogacy and all of those things.
Order your life in a way that is conducive to marriage and having children.
That's the way to go.
Now, we have learned some things about AOC and her political pursuits and her personal life
that would make me not, well, I guess one of the points that I made, I would probably caveat
a little bit, or I would change a little bit.
And then some other points have now been illuminated a little bit more because of what it seems,
what seems to be going on in her life. So we'll get into that in a second. Let me pause and tell you
about crowd health. We love crowd health. This is what we use. It's not health insurance. We've opted out
of health insurance because honestly, having health insurance sometimes felt like we didn't have any coverage
at all. And now we have crowd health. I've seen how the health care or the health insurance industry
doesn't seem to be built to actually care for families. And that is why we love the community-focused,
low-cost alternative of crowd health. It's a community of people who have decided to stop letting
profit-driven insurance companies call the shots. Instead of networks and restrictions, you get freedom,
personal care advocates who will fight for you, build negotiators who slash what you owe,
prescription discounts, and a database to help you find great affordable doctors if you need them.
No one ever pays more than they're set maximum.
Imbers crowd fund eligible bills with a 99.9% funding success rate, usually in just seven days.
Together, they have already saved $56 million.
Isn't that amazing?

Okay, so apparently AOC is not actually engaged.
She hasn't been engaged.
It was just reported just a few days ago that she and her ex-fiancee had called it off about 18 months ago.
And so that is the one thing that I would say is that she is apparently not with someone that she wants to have children with.
And instead she is going on rant about dating losers, top five.
A lot of these people who pressure women into having kids at a young age or trying to create hysteria around being too old, etc.
What they're trying to do is rush you into having a relationship with a loser.
By a loser, I mean someone who doesn't respect women, someone who doesn't respect you, someone who doesn't treat you well, someone that doesn't support your growth.
Okay. So I don't know if she's trying to passive aggressively talk about her ex-fiancee. Certainly no one would accuse them of rushing into anything. They were together for like 15 years of their wife. And so it wouldn't have been rushing if they had gotten married a few years ago. I mean, it's okay that they broke up. I have said many times it's better to be single and sad than to be married and trapped. Like you shouldn't settle for someone who is not respectful. You shouldn't settle for someone who is not a good person. You shouldn't settle for someone who is not a good person. You shouldn't settle for someone.
who hates women, although I'm not really sure her definitions of those things.
No one is saying that that I know of.
I certainly have not given that advice, that you should just settle down and marry whoever
comes along.
I am so glad that I waited until I knew without a doubt that this is the person that I
wanted to be with for the rest of my life.
And I didn't have any doubt in my mind.
And I do see a lot of women who are making decisions based on being afraid that this
guy is the last chopper out of Nam, and he's not a good guy, and he shouldn't be with them.
I would never recommend that you do that. I recommend that if you are a Christian woman,
that you find a Christian man who loves the Lord with all of his heart, mind, soul, and strength,
and who loves you, has the same values as you, who will cherish you. And also, yes, I do think
some Christians debate this, which I don't think it should be debated. I think you should be
attracted to the person. I don't think it should just be something where he has all of these
characteristics on paper. You should be attracted to him. You should want to be around him.
You should laugh with him. You should share a sense of humor with him. You should have fun with him.
All of those things, those romantic parts of love and falling in love, I also think are really
important. At the same time, I do think today I see this online among both men and women.
the, like the specifications that young men and women today have for their future spouse.
I would say especially in the Christian circle, it is like it's ridiculously specific.
Okay.
I've talked to people who are like, I just really feel convicted that this is the eye color that
God wants me to have.
I have this vision of this person who I'm supposed to marry and I haven't seen this person
yet.
And I'm just sometimes I'm like, you guys are thinking way too hard.
I don't know if you read Abigail Schreier's advice column for the free press.
I find it to be very entertaining.
I don't always agree with everything because we're not coming from the same Christian worldview.
But she makes some good points.
There was someone who wrote into Abigail Schreier saying, look, this woman that I'm with meets all of my criteria.
She is by far on paper the best person that I've ever been with.
And I don't understand why when I leave her presence, I am depressed and I feel exhausted.
And Abigail Shrier basically says, yeah, you don't love her.
You're not in love with her.
And that's it.
Like, that's the kind of thing I'm talking about is that young people today are so overly
obsessed with all of these different specifications that they, I do think that you forget,
like, you need to love the person.
And people used to tell me when you know, you know, and that was really annoying to me
until I met my husband.
And then I was like, oh, I totally get it when you know you know.
And also, they need to be a strong believer and share your values, be a hard worker.
There are obviously qualities that you need to look for beyond your feelings, but feelings also matter too.
But people like AOC are pushing this idea that you can't, it seems to me, that she is basically saying,
you can't possibly find that person young and settle down young without settling for some kind of like misogynist.
I mean, that's just crazy.
We're just pointing out that biology is real.
It is real.
It's not paranoia.
It's just wisdom.
You know, like Proverbs depicts wisdom shouting into the street being like, who's going to follow
me?
Hello?
Over here.
AOC, that's what wisdom is doing for you.
AOC, hello.
Wisdom, discernment, reality, biology.
It's over here.
We're trying to get your attention.
And it's very difficult because then you see.
the depiction of like wisdom's foil throughout Proverbs who is leading people into temptation
and temporary pleasure, things that sound good, but lead you down a path of destruction.
That's what's going on here.
That's why it's so important to wade into this kind of debate.
It's very simple.
Don't date a loser.
Don't marry a guy who isn't respectful and doesn't love you.
But do, as long as it depends on you, try to find a good guy and get married and have kids.
if that's something that the Lord is calling you to do, okay?
The path that she is pursuing of political ambition and hoping to have kids via egg freezing
and embryo creation in her 40s, trust me, that is not going to be the path that leads to
fulfillment and happiness and satisfaction.
In fact, it's just going to end up leading to a lot of disappointment.
That's what it's going to do.
Just some numbers about this so you know that I'm not just gaslighting here.
I'm not just like making things up.
These are not pro-life Christian studies.
These are just academic studies.
UCLA study found that only 5.7% of women who froze their eggs between 2014 and 2016
actually used them within five to seven years.
Things just don't end up panning out.
And again, it's very difficult once you're over the age of 40 to actually be able to produce those babies.
It's also extremely expensive.
AOC has already talked about this.
The price of freezing your eggs, $8,000 out of pocket and then $1,200 annually for storage.
The whole procedure costs about $12,000 to $15,000 per cycle.
This is another thing when people tell me, oh, it's too expensive to have children.
Like that's why we're not having kids in this economy.
And then you have someone who is touting a procedure that can cost you $15,000.
it's a lot. The most severe side effect of freezing your eggs is ovarian hyperstimulation
syndrome. The ovaries become swollen and very painful. There was also this 2026 research from
Royal College of obstetricians and gynecologists. The incidence of that is unknown, but it shows
that it can be as high as 20% of cases of people getting their eggs frozen, that you will suffer,
that you will suffer from that.
A 2017, this is interesting, study published in fertility and sterility that surveyed women
who had had their expos and found that 16% had severe regret over the decision two years later.
33% had mild regret.
Wow, that's really, really high.
If you compare that to how people feel after other kinds of procedures, you will see that that is
extremely high.
When you are injecting yourself with hormones again and you are doing things that affect
to your body that intimately and that seriously, you're going to have big emotions about it.
People don't talk about that. The same thing is true with abortion. We're messing with very
intimate and sensitive parts of our bodies without really even talking about the repercussions.
It's also just true. There's this whole debate in here about geriatric pregnancy. And people are
like, oh, it's so rude to say geriatric and all that, which I understand. Look, I'm 34. I'm on the
edge. If we had another child when I'm 36, there's probably going to be some older OBGYN that's like,
hey, geriatric pregnancy. Wow, how did this happen? And I understand like why that can feel,
that can feel offensive because you're 36 years old and having a child, it's not geriatric.
We think of geriatric as like 75 years old. But even if we change the name, that doesn't change the risk
that comes with getting pregnant after the age of 35.
Maternal age of 35 and older, this is according to the Cleveland Clinic, is associated with
the higher likelihood of complications such as high blood pressure, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes,
miscarriage, C-section, and that is not just a risk for the mom, it's also a risk for the baby.
Data from the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology show that about 53.1% of women
under 35 achieved a live birth after one egg retrieval cycle compared with,
only 4.2% of women over 42.
So again, you just can't beat biology.
You can't overcome it.
It's kind of like a beach ball.
You can keep pushing it underwater.
Truth in all cases, certainly scientific truth,
is going to keep popping back up.
You know, this whole thing was really considered experimental in 2012.
There had only been about 500 births from people who had retrieved their eggs and gone through
this process of creating these embryos. It's much more popular now and it doesn't have to do with
the economy. It has to do with our culture. It has to do with where we are spiritually. It has to do
with the fact that if you poll women, women are much more likely now to be progressive. About 65% of
women consider themselves progressive Democrats. When you ask Gen Z women what their priorities are,
what their goals are in life, getting married and having children is extremely low, not true of
Densy men. It's mostly you want a career. You want financial independence. I think social media has a
big impact on that as well. And so that's why we're seeing this kind of deferred and delayed
motherhood in taking these risky choices, both for you and for the baby. And AOC is really the
representation of that. Now, a lot of people are also talking about AOC's political ambitions and how she's
seems to be doing all of this, you know, breaking up with, or the news of her breaking up with
her boyfriend is being published. She's talking about freezing her eggs. And then she's also saying
things like this in interviews. Woke one was crazy.
Oak one was crazy. Okay. That's true. And I think that what's important is that we have to
assess what- Was it? I mean, did the movement go too far with some of those positions? I mean,
you briefly supported the idea of defunding the police.
Well, you know, I think that during this time and during, especially during COVID,
there was a huge opening of the Overton window.
We were shut down.
There was some of the highest unemployment rates that we have seen because of those shutdowns.
And I think that the doors were really open in trying to entertain any and every policy
that was going to get us to a better place.
Okay, we don't have time to interpret all of that.
but she's distancing herself from what she calls woke one, which was 2020,
which there were just a few surviving generals of woke one that led you,
especially women, out of woke one with your sanity and dignity intact.
AOC was not one of those women.
She was one of those people who was echoing all of the madness about systemic racism
and hailing George Floyd a hero, calling for the.
abolition of the police. She knows now that now that we're out of 2020 and calling for all kinds
of mandates and taking away freedoms under COVID, she knows now that all that stuff is very
unpopular. And if she's got to reach moderates and she's got to reach independence,
then she's got to appeal to as many people as possible. So she's distancing herself from woke one.
We wouldn't say that kind of stuff anymore. So what you're saying is that you're super caught up in
emotion and you'll say anything that feels good at the time, even if it's not true?
Hmm, I don't think that's the one I want to vote for.
But what she's doing does appeal to a lot of people and it does garner a lot of sympathy.
And so I do see how all of this kind of plays together if she is going to run in 2028.
Now, do I think she's going to win the primary?
Probably not.
But I think that she'll be a contender.
I think that she'll absolutely be a contender, and she's garnering a lot of sympathy.
She knows what she's doing.
Like I said, most women are progressive, and her narrative to most progressive women right now is extremely sympathetic and extremely relatable.
Remember, if you feel like, oh, you know, maybe I do like AOC.
You know, I think that AOC and I could probably, you know, have some things to talk about that we would agree on to.
Like in another world, maybe AOC and I could be friends.
So I'm not trying to condemn her entirely.
I'm just saying just to remember what she represents.
She remembers, she represents the most radical side of progressivism, the most secular and demonic side of abortion and transgenderism and sexuality, all this stuff that is truly destroying and praying.
upon children, like AOC stands for it. So don't fall for these relatable stories and the seemingly
relatable fertility journey. Like she is representing something that is extremely damaging for young
women, both physically, mentally, and then I would also say spiritually. All right, let's get into the rest
of the today's episode. Let me pause and tell you about our next sponsor. It is World Watch. All right.
So screen time, it's not something that you want to promote for your kids. It's not something that we
want to promote either. But when you find something that would actually be good for their brain
that they want to watch every day, well, that's a pretty good find. And that's what you'll get in
World Watch. So World Watch is a great way to help your kids, especially your teens, stay informed
without being overwhelmed and of course without being hit with all the kind of secular propaganda
that you're trying to help them navigate. World Watch delivers fact-based news from a Christian
worldview. In just 10 minutes a day, each episode covers current events, global headlines,
human interest stories, fun explainers that help kids and teens understand what's happening in the world,
all with clarity, all with context, all with hope, and a biblical worldview. There's so much clickbait
and sensationalism, so much that you don't want your kids watching when it comes to the news. You don't
have to worry about that with World Watch. If you want your kids to get smarter, more involved in what's
going on in a very healthy way, then you need to opt for World Watch. You can get a free 30-day trial
with my link. See if you like it and if it's right for your family. I promise you will love it.

News slash All right. So we pray for AOC. Children are a blessing. Her desire to become a mom is a good
desire. And I want her to fulfill that. I want her to find a good godly man. And I want her to get married.
And I want her to have kids. And I want her to experience the joy of motherhood. I think that she would be
a good mom. Obviously, I think that her values and her thoughts on a lot of things should shift,
but it also changes you for the batter. So, yeah, I hope that the Lord would save her, would help her,
would point her in the right direction, and that she follows that path instead.
All right. Now we've got to talk about something super important that you've heard me discuss before,
but we've got firsthand accounts from the daughters of the American Revolution. They are trying to
redefine what it means to be a daughter. And they want to include sons who identify as daughters
in the Daughters of the American Revolution. Well, we've got a couple Christian women related girls
raising a respectful ruckus for the things that matter, for the Christian roots and for the
definition of womanhood that is inherent in Daughters of the American Revolution. I'm talking to
two members today that need our help. So without further ado, here they are.
Laura Juliet, thanks so much for taking the time to join us.
We talked on the show about what is going on with the daughters of the American Revolution.
And both of your names were sent to me multiple times, but people who are familiar with everything going on.
If you could each introduce yourself, Laura, you first, just tell us how long you've been a part of the D.A.R.
Hi, Ellie Beth.
Thank you for having me.
My name is Laura McDonald.
I'm a member of the D.A.R.
I'm here just speaking.
in my capacity as a member, private citizen, not speaking on behalf of the DAR.
I've been a member since 2018, and it wasn't until 2023 that we learned about this issue
that's been going on within the DAR.
And Juliet, what about you?
What's your history with the DAR?
Thank you again for having us.
I joined the DAR in December of 2023.
I'm proud to be a first generation daughter and learn about the men be admitted shortly
after and that's about the same time when Laura and I met.
Okay, so just as a reminder for people, Laura, if you could tell us what exactly are you referring
to? What happened in 2023 that started to sound the alarms for you? Right. So in 2023,
there was a bylaw amendment that added anti-additional, or I'm sorry, it added additional
anti-discrimination language to our bylaws. So there was already a clause that said members could not
discriminate against an eligible applicant, but there was a proposal to amend those bylaws to add
additional language. So you can't discriminate against an applicant based on race, religion,
sexual orientation, age, disability or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
And so that got members, you know, wondering, does this have anything to do with this new thing that's
taking hold in the country of, you know, transgender ideology. And that question came up on the
floor there at Continental Congress. And the question was asked, does this mean that we cannot turn
away a man who has an amended birth certificate? And the answer was, no, you cannot. That would be
illegal discrimination. And there was some back and forth. Let me just play that clip again so the audience
can remember what went on there. With the proposed change in wording to the bylaw, would our chapters
be able to still vote not to admit into our chapter a person whose birth certificate has
been altered by their state to indicate they are female even though they were born a male.
I'm going to say yes, if their birth certificate says they're a female and you vote against
them based on by their protected class, it's discrimination.
Juliet, what was the response?
when you got that, when you heard that very strange answer that, well, yeah, you can't discriminate
against someone just because they're a man. It was actually surprising and somewhat shocking.
When I joined the DAR, I joined as an opportunity to continue to serve. My son and I had served
in a different capacity when he was younger, but I didn't have an opportunity to serve with my
daughters. And so that was a great draw for me and the DAR to be able to trace back lineage to be
able to join, but then also to be able to serve and give back with my daughters. And that was
something that I was really looking forward to. So when I heard that DAR was admitting men,
I felt a bit betrayed and truly puzzled because that was completely not what I understood
the organization was all about. So Lauren,
tell me what you think is behind this, because from my understanding, the daughters of the
American Revolution was started with Christian principles, obviously American principles and
pride and the courage that was displayed by those who fought for America's independence,
but also the prayers, the scriptures that have been interwoven into the D.A.R. identity since
the beginning, to me, seems completely opposed to what is happening.
now, this openness to accepting men who identify as women. So what is going on behind the scenes
that could possibly push the organization in this direction? Well, we have uncovered in the last
few years that there are members who hold state and leadership positions who do take the ideological
position that trans women are women. So when we first found out about this, we weren't sure
if it was just the DAR taking a defensive position? Because on the one hand, to one group of people,
they make the claim that when I say one group of people, I mean people who think more like,
we all think here, they try to convince us that this is something we have to do because it would
be illegal if we exclude these men. So members are, for lack of a better term, maybe intimidated,
maybe with, you know, their arm twisted to go along with this. But then you've got others,
the President General herself, who are part of a very public Facebook page called Daughters for Inclusivity,
who make the claim that trans women are women. And we found some internal documents that make that
same claim, that trans women are not men. Trans women live and identify as women. So once I was able
to piece that together, I knew that it's like something I heard. I say our friend, he's your friend,
Mr. Nulls, Michael Nulls on his show the other day, the long march through the institution.
It's like an institutional takeover where I think they thought they were going to be able to
get this in quietly and secretly, but now, since so many eyes are on it, they're being forced
to own their ideology. So this push, getting away from Christian values too, is something else
that we've uncovered. We didn't realize that until this came about. So Juliet and I, both Christians,
Our local chapters that always prayed in the name of Jesus.
And so we didn't put it together that there had been a move at the national level to remove the name of Jesus and to encourage chaplains to say, you pray in your faith as I pray in mine.
And sometimes we wonder, you know, have we put the cart before the horse by trying to rectify this situation of allowing men in the DAR before going back and correcting that?
but we didn't know about that before this came to light.
So we're not really sure when this push actually happened to try to get away from the DAR being a religious organization.
But history shows that it is indeed a religious organization founded on Christian principles specifically.
You're right.
The first Congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution was held in the Church of Our Father on Wednesday, February 22nd, 1892.
It was opened with a prayer.
And then there are different ritual options.
Obviously, you all know about this much more than I do, but just telling the,
telling the audience that includes 1 Timothy 620, Psalm 166, Deuteronomy 8, 2, Psalm 33, 12,
and then a prayer that is very clearly a Christian prayer.
It is not an all-faith prayer to the universe, but a Christian prayer.
All right, quick pause to tell you about our next sponsor, and that is Javity.
And so if you are feeling like you have just run out of places to turn for answers about why you feel so fatigued, why you just are getting sick every couple of weeks, why your immune system doesn't seem to be functioning the way you need it to.
Your doctors say you're fine.
You just are stressed.
You need more sleep, whatever it is, but you know that there could be something else going on.
Or maybe you just want to optimize your help.
Make sure everything's good.
Maybe you're on a journey.
You're about to try to have a baby.
You want to make sure that all your levels are right.
you need to call my friends at Javity.
Well, you won't call them.
You'll go to Javity, go javity.com slash alley.
And then you will schedule your appointment with the phlebotomist who will come to you.
They'll come to your house.
They'll come to your office.
She'll draw your blood.
She'll take the vials.
She'll ship them off.
And then all of the results will be uploaded into your app, into your profile.
And then you'll also have a video from a doctor who has analyzed your results and
will interpret them for you in about a 30-minute video.
the woman, the doctor who interpreted my results, was so simple and so clear and so helpful
because she didn't just tell me, okay, here's what your results say or here's what they mean.
She said, here's what you need to do.
Here are the vitamins that you need to be increasing.
Here's a food that you need to be eating.
Here's the exercise that you should be doing to really optimize your health.
I am so thankful that I got a clear picture of my health even before I got pregnant this fourth time
just to make sure that I was in the best place possible.

Juliet, do you know whether the push to take out, you know,
Jesus's name or to kind of this push for universalism within the DAR is coming from the same
direction, the daughters for inclusivity?
Or is that something that?
that you all are still trying to figure out?
That's an excellent question.
We're really not sure, still trying to figure that out.
I would speculate that that push to remove the name of Jesus
and to really start to adjust perspective with regard to the rituals
and the scriptures being read and prayers being lifted up.
I think that probably dates much before this inclusivity group.
however, there's no real way for us to know what was going on in the background.
So I'm not really sure.
These things do seem to be intertwined, not just in this institution, but everywhere,
the denial of Christ and the denial of the creator and then also the denial of the basics
of Genesis 1 because all of those truths are interwoven.
And so my opinion is that you're not putting the cart before the horse.
You're taking them one thing at a time, but they also, they go hand at hand.
They're different, but they are absolutely connected.
So I imagine that all of this is what prompted the formation of the daughters of the restoration.
Is that right, Laura?
Yes, that's right.
So when we first found out about this, we were significantly suppressed in our ability to communicate with other chapter members.
We were shut down on the DAR social media pages.
We were told emphatically that we can't.
use our member directories to communicate with each other. There's a circularization policy that
says members cannot spread a rumor or, you know, do anything to disturb the harmony, which again,
like I've said before, is a great policy when implemented correctly, but should not be used as a
cudgel to silence members to talk about legitimate things that are happening within the DAR. So, and members
were even told, you can't even talk about this in a chapter meeting. Don't bring it up. And so
Daughters for Restoration was born out of necessity. It started as a Facebook group. And,
just to start collaborating with like-minded members.
And then it's grown into this 501c3.
And now our purpose is to educate members about parliamentary procedure,
the law where we can, getting as many legal opinions as we can to dispel some of
these things that our leadership has put out, that we must do this or it's illegal.
That's what restoration is about right now.
But I do envision it becoming something bigger to not only restore the DAR to being one
for biological women, but to restore the name of Jesus and our Christian values.
And just to address one thing that you said, Laura, that there are some leadership who is acting
like our hands are tied, we have to do this legally.
We have to accept men.
Is that true?
It is not true.
The DAR by virtue, the daughters of the American Revolution, and, you know, discrimination has become
a dirty word nowadays, but by nature.
it is discriminatory in that there are specific requirements to be a member. You must be a woman,
18 years of age or older, with lineal descent of a patriot. That's not meant to be in any way,
you know, anti-anything other than this is a historic institution that it has had eligibility standards
since its founding. We know inherently that we have a First Amendment right to the freedom of
expression and association. So what leaders have done, the National Board of Management, they
they had an attorney out of Michigan named Samuel Baganstos, who's a very liberal trans activist,
I would say. He wrote an opinion that was distributed to all the members at Congress. It was the
only one that we were able to talk about during the debate that says that a local District of Columbia
Human Rights Act trumps our First Amendment right. So because the D.A.R. is headquartered in
Washington, D.C., they're saying, our First Amendment right means nothing, and this D.C. law reigns supreme.
Wow. Wow. And what has the response been to the formation of the daughters of the restoration? I imagine that you've had some pushback, Juliet. If initially all were basically told, ah, it's all about unity. You can't talk about this. I can just imagine that the leadership isn't super thrilled.
You are spot on. They are not thrilled. And in fact, they surprisingly have.
sidestepped, I would say, some of our bylaws, some of the procedures and protocols that a typical
organization would follow. And so, yes, you are right. We are receiving a lot of pushback and a lot of
heat. But to the contrary, I will say, we have also experienced some great support. And the more
that the word gets out, they, senior leadership has done everything within their power to silence this.
and to Laura's point has put out circularization policy that said we cannot discuss it.
Chapter Regents will even go to the point to tell their own members that it's forbidden to be talked about.
And they shut conversations down on the local level and on the national level.
However, with all of that, as we know can happen, God has really opened the floodgates that the information that was trying to be suppressed and silenced
has flown and has really spread across the entire nation.
And we are gaining support and like-minded ladies to step up and to gain courage because
it's intimidating.
And they've done their very best to cast fear and intimidation in an attempt to silence us.
And it's not really working.
Wow.
That's good.
You know, Julie, I have to ask, how big of a problem.
problem is this actually from the progressive side of things in that? Are there really a ton of men
who identify as women who are trying to join the DAR? I'm just trying to even understand why this is a
hill the leadership would want to die on. That is such a great question that we,
and we're having a hard time wrapping our mind around it. So our organization was founded in
1890 after these founders, these ladies were forbidden or not allowed to join sons of the
American Revolution.
And so that was the very founding of this organization based on women in lineal descent
and genealogical standards of practice.
And so how or why we are in the position that we are now is really puzzling.
And to your point, it doesn't really.
make a whole lot of sense, why leadership would be willing to forego all of this amazing legacy
and history that we have for, you know, a handful of men who identify as women. I'm not sure.
That's an excellent question.
Last sponsor for the day is seven weeks coffee. Y'all, I have to have my coffee every morning.

Laura, what happens in October?
What's supposed to happen in October is a special meeting.
we have more than tripled the requirement required for a special meeting.
Our bylaws say at the request of 30 chapters in 10 states,
the President General shall call a special meeting,
which by its nature is set at a time different from that of any regular meeting.
So we met that threshold at the first part of this year.
And instead of giving us our meeting, per the bylaws, per Robert Rules of Order,
they added our resolution as a vote to Continental Congress.
and that's what everybody's been hearing about for the past month or so.
So we maintain that in order for our bylaws to have any meaning to be upheld,
that we must have that special meeting.
Otherwise, this gets back to what we're talking about, the meaning of words.
The word woman has a meaning, has a clear definition.
A special meeting has a clear definition.
What our leaders are doing are reinterpreting, though,
they're amending those words by interpretation.
They're just deciding that, no, we're not going to say that word,
means this, we're going to say it means that now because it suits us better. We cannot stand for
that. We have to push for this special meeting. What we're hearing over and over is there will be
no special meeting. This is a violation of our bylaws. If there is no special meeting,
that is a clear violation of our bylaws. So October the 11th, more than 115 chapters in 34
states at this point have sent a resolution to the President General saying, we want a special
meeting at our headquarters in Washington, D.C. on October the 11th, 2026, that's the birthday of our
founding, Columbus Day, and the President General has been silent. Wow. So as of right now,
you don't know, Laura, if that meeting is actually going to happen. We have to operate under
the mindset that it is going to happen. Otherwise, again, our bylaws mean nothing. The President
General is silent. She is ignoring our many emails.
emails. So you can do with that what you will. We cannot physically force her to, you know,
call the special meeting. But if our bylaws mean anything and if the resolutions of these
chapters, these duly adopted resolutions mean anything, we have to operate under the mindset that
there will be a special meeting. And Ali Bet, if I can say one thing, it's come to my attention
over the last day or two that I get screenshots of our opposition, things that they're saying
about us on the other side. I try my best not to look at what they're saying. But this idea has
come about that there's some shadowy figure that's propping us up. Otherwise, how could small town
East Texas chapter members get the attention of Allie Beth Stucky, get the attention of the Center
for American Liberty, get the attention of Representative Klein and all these congressmen that have
signed on to this proposal to amend our charter? And the truth is, there is nobody lurking in the
shadows. But there is somebody in the light. And his name is Yeshua, Jesus Christ, the son of God,
the one who died for us. And we have called on him and asked for his blessing. And he is the reason
all of this has happened. And we do believe that we will see the DAR restored. I believe that he is
answering the prayers of those women who founded this organization back in 1890. Amen. Amen.
Juliet, what can the average person do who's listening to this? They're not a part of the DAR, but they're
like, okay, we want to see y'all get your meeting, at least, at the very least, of course,
we want the restoration of this organization for the sake of our country, for the sake of our
history, for the sake of the truth. What can the average woman who is listening to this do?
Oh, I love that question. First and foremost, I would say pray. Prayer is powerful, and we,
as the restoration group, have not forgotten that. And so that is a very primary and,
out front and center part of what we do.
Prayer is powerful. Beyond that, if they would like to take action,
HR Bill 9701, which Representative Klein introduced, and we are so grateful,
they can call their representatives in their local districts and jurisdictions
and ask for them to co-sponsor this bill. That would be wonderful and very helpful,
and that will define what a woman.
is and it will come from Congress and they are the ones who authored our charter. And so that is
something actionable that they can do. If they just make a phone call or in their local districts,
send an email. The websites are there. They can go to Congress.gov and look out Bill H.R. 9701.
And then there also, they can hit a link if they don't know who the representatives are. It'll take
them right to their representatives once they put in their zip code. I think it is. But prayer is so
powerful and we believe in it and we have seen it working. And so I thank you for that question.
That's a good one. Absolutely. And I think the more people share this interview, talk about it,
and create buzz around this, hopefully the more pressure, outwardly facing pressure, the head of the DAR
will feel, maybe she will feel pressure to respond and give you all at the very least a fair hearing
because as we know, like we know this about deceit, we know this about the enemy, we know this about lies,
they like to operate in the darkness.
Obviously, they don't want you guys talking.
They don't want you guys meeting.
They don't want this to come to light.
So that means we as Christians, we got to do the opposite of that.
We got to bring this fully into the light so that it can't be ignored.
And I'm just thankful for the courage that you all have both displayed and all of the people
who are trying to restore the DAR.
it would have been a lot easier for you to sit back and say, it's like, well, it's probably not
really going to affect me where I live. So I'm not going to say anything. But you guys are taking a
massive risk. And I want everyone in this audience to share your arrows and do everything that we
can to help you. So thank you both so much. Laura, Juliet, urge everyone to pray and to be a
part of this using your voice however you can. Thank you guys both so much. Thank you.
Thank you, Ellie, Beth. Thank you. All right, y'all.
episode today. We will be back here on Friday, like I said, with that incredible interview
with Vanessa Sivage. And don't forget on Friday to tune into my Jubilee debate, which we
will be talking about more next week. I'll see you guys back here then.
