The Narrative is back for volume 9! Join Riley Gaines and CCV President Aaron Baer, Policy Director David Mahan, and Communications Director Mike Andrews in celebrating the huge victory in the General Assembly overriding Governor DeWine's veto to pass the Save Women's Sports Act and SAFE Act (HB68) into law.Listen in to find out: what was encouraging after the Governor vetoed this critical bill, what inspired Riley to switch from future dentist to women's rights activist, and what themes Riley has seen nationally in the culture over the last 18 months in her fight to protect women's sports.

More about Riley Gaines Riley Gaines is a leader defending women's single-sex spaces, advocating for equality and fairness, and standing up for women's safety, privacy, and equal opportunities. Gaines graduated from the University of Kentucky, where she was a 12-time All-American swimmer. Riley has made waves for speaking out after tying UPenn's Lia Thomas, a biological male swimmer on the women's team, at the 2022 NCAA Division 1 Women's Swimming & Diving Championships. After Riley directly experienced competing against a man in women's sports, being forced without warning or consent to undress before the fully intact male, and subjected to discrimination by the NCAA, she became one of the most powerful voices to speak out against the injustice, challenging the rules of the NCAA, USA Swimming, International Olympic Committee (IOC), and other governing bodies. Riley now works for the leading women's organization making real and lasting change, legally defining ‘woman,' protecting Title IX, and defending women's rights to single-sex spaces and equal opportunities.
Following the Governor's veto of the Save Women's Sports Act and SAFE Act (HB68), CCV President Aaron Baer, Policy Director David Mahan, and Communications Director Mike Andrews sat down for an emergency episode of The Narrative podcast to discuss what happened and what's next for this critical bill. Listen in to get the answers to questions including: In 2018, the original version of the SAFE Act–the Vulnerable Child Protection Act–was politically unpalatable. What has changed since then to make it common-sense legislation? What happened behind the scenes as the Save Women's Sports Act and SAFE Act went through the Ohio General Assembly? Why did Governor DeWine veto HB68? How can we still get HB68 passed into law? As Mike mentioned during the conversation, you can listen to our episodes with Scott Newgent and Chloe Cole and Prisha Mosley for additional context to the heart-wrenching consequences that HB68 would prevent. Take Action: Overriding the Veto Take 60 seconds to send a message to your State Senator and Representative to encourage them to act quickly and override the Governor to protect kids from dangerous puberty-blocking drugs, wrong-sex hormones, and transgender surgeries, and to preserve the integrity of women's sports by protecting female athletes from having to compete against biological males.

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: Democrat Leftists and their homosexual and “trans” activists demonstrated in Denton how they are the enemies of civil public discourse and tolerance. No surprise it happened at Texas Woman's University that, like neighbor UNT, a hotbed for radical leftist action.Abbott's ceremonial bill signing of SB15, “Save Women's Sports Act,” showed just how strongly the homosexual lobby opposes protections for women. It also shows, once again, how Abbott has done little to nothing to use his political power to appoint university regents to rein in the Leftist chaos on our public campuses. TWU police just citing people, or one person, for Class C assault (a ticket) when spitting upon people and blocking exits can carry higher charges just shows where TWU stands on the matter.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.A needed slap down of Dallas-based Southwest Airlines (not the firm it once was) in court over its denigration of religious freedom. And someone did a great job of pointing out the “woke” culture at Fort Worth-based American Airlines. Two previous stories on the Southwest Airlines saga: Pushback: Judge rules flight attendant must be rehired by Southwest, but reduces her award significantly Pushback: Southwest flight attendant demands Southwest be sanctioned for violating the terms of her court victory Texas largest county, Harris, has another new mess since the incompetent to govern Leftist Democrats took over the county: 22 Harris County Jail victims' families sue county Harris County's judge and sheriff no-shows meeting with state jail regulators Chief of Texas' Largest County, Lina Hidalgo, Takes Medical Leave for Depression Hawk and snake story and story on why a phone call to 911 is not a weapon.Listen on the radio, or station stream, at 5pm Central.

It's gone mega-viral, so it looks like we have to talk about the "Montgomery Riverboat Brawl." It wasn't a "race war," as some are trying to portray, as we can plainly see many different groups of people making bad decisions. We break down who was right, who was wrong, and who was just plain stupid. In politics, at the Texas Women's Hall of Fame, two former college swimmers, Paula Scanlon and Riley Gaines, joined Gov. Abbott as he signed the Save Women's Sports Act. LGBTQ protesters yelled and spit at the athletes and children outside because "love wins." And TV Producer Adler has to take a sledgehammer to his 3-year-old daughter's bedroom door because somehow the knob got locked. I wonder who locked it?

Hour 3 - Good Tuesday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was drowned out by jeers and chants of “retire” during a speech in Kentucky Saturday, just days after the Republican lawmaker froze up midsentence at an event. Rep. Jim Jordan on Monday laid out how the FBI and DOJ led Big Tech companies to believe that the Hunter Biden laptop story was misinformation so they would act accordingly. Former NCAA Division 1 athletes Riley Gaines and Paula Scanlan were among those who were targeted by "hostile" protesters that gathered in Texas on Monday in opposition of the "Save Women's Sports Act." A former Indiana teacher who was caught with a “kill list” of students and staff was sentenced on Monday to two-and-a-half years probation. Through Texas' border security mission Operation Lone Star, Texas DPS troopers have rescued over 900 children being smuggled into and through Texas from Mexico by human traffickers.

Federal Judge Joseph Goodwin couldn't find constitutional grounds to rule against West Virginia's Save Women's Sports Act. The bill defines male and female as a biological reality and organizes the state's athletic teams accordingly. The decision is significant in the ongoing public debate on what transgender rights are and how they are carried out in sports. Dr. Kathy Koch highlights that while this is the topic for the conversation, the grounding of this is in identity, and society at large is struggling to find footing.
2023 Texas Bills Propose More Restrictions, Penalties, Oversight, and an Election Police ForceToday's LinksArticles & Resources:NBC News - Texas Republicans propose a Florida-style election police force as it tees up more changes to voting lawsTexas Tribune - Texas lawmakers target property taxes, election fraud and transgender people in new legislation ahead of 2023 sessionThe Texan - Illegal Voting Felonies, ‘Save Women's Sports Act,' and School Choice Among Bills Filed on First Day of Pre-FilingTexas Tribution - 2021's SB1 The hard-fought Texas voting bill is poised to become law. Here's what it does.Groups Taking Action:Texas Voter Protection, Texas Civil Rights Project, Mi Familia VotaToday's Script: (Variations occur with audio due to editing for time) You're listening to the American Democracy Minute, keeping YOUR government by and for the people.It's not yet January and the 2023 election and voting bills are already piling up in Texas like tumbleweeds. Many of these bills are designed to prevent voter fraud, which already is as rare in Texas as the Jackalope.NBC News and the Texas Tribune report that over 62 bills have been prefiled in the legislature, many designed to increase oversight of elections and step up penalties for voting illegally. The Houston Chronicle estimates that Texas election officials spent 22,000 hours looking for voter fraud after the 2020 election, resulting in only 16 voters with fraudulent addresses on registration forms. HB 39 is one of five Republican-sponsored bills which increases voting related crimes from a misdemeanor to a felony. SB 220 is one of two bills which creates “election marshals,” similar to Florida's new state police division investigating election fraud. Florida's force made its first arrests in August, only to have most of the charges dismissed due to the state's own mistakes.While states like Nevada & Alaska recently took steps to use a single ballot open primary system, HB 239 would close Texas primaries, requiring separate ballots for each party. Open ballot primaries offer voters more choice, give third party candidates a chance, and tend to support centrist candidates, rather than extremists.With a Republican House, Senate & Governor, these restrictions could pass later next year.See articles outlining other proposed Texas voting bills at AmericanDemocracyMinute.org.

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt signed a bill into law Wednesday banning transgender girls and women from playing on female sports teams, cementing the state as the the 13th nationwide to enact such a measure. As he signed the “Save Women's Sports Act,” Stitt was surrounded by young girls, female athletes and other conservative lawmakers holding signs that read “Save women's sports.” He said that enacting the measure “is just common sense.”LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for new videos everyday. https://bit.ly/3fs6dBU

It's a good* news week! International news Anthony Albanese reassures the nation that no-one cares if he wins or not. Good* news Nurses in NSW are striking for better pay and safer conditions. The Omicron wave and the withdrawal of government supports has been brutal for health workers. The ICU nurse in the US who quit, and encouraged others to do the same. Environmental activists win high court case, stopping a new coal mine in the Bylong Valley. Victoria has decriminalized sex work! We won't need to worry about inhaling burnt koala noses for too much longer. This follows deliberate action from the NSW government to block legislation to project koalas. Bigotry begone? The religious discrimination bill has been withdrawn. This follow's Rebekah Sharkie's successful amendment to the sex discrimination act that would have prevented the transphobia intended by the original bill. Transphobes have taken a sudden interest in “saving women's sport”. Arizona has just passed the “Save Women's Sports Act”, intended to do exactly the same thing.

Welcome to Saturday Morning Coffee for Saturday, July 31, 2021:On this episode of Saturday Morning Coffee, the Reese Boyd Radio Hour, Reese Boyd and Producer Glenn Dye discuss the return of mask mandates, and the looming threat of vaccine mandates, and the various reasons why government mandates never die! We also discuss the relatively anemic Olympics and how it seems to be a rather "so-so" event that for whatever reason, many seem to be overlooking. Reese and Glen share some of their favorite Olympic memories, from some of the more memorable Olympic teams in our past.We talk a lot on this show about mask mandates, vaccine mandates, and how a government bureaucracy that obtains power never seems to be able to let it go (at least not permanently). We discuss Texas Gov. Abbott's Order prohibiting vaccine or mask mandates in Texas. In other news, we discuss the President's rather astonishing claim this week that he was once an 18-Wheel Trucker. No one seems to know this, except for the POTUS. For its part, the White House has said that Biden "once rode in an 18-Wheeler." Sen. Josh Kimbrell (R-Spartanburg County) joins us on the program to discuss his proposal to dramatically scale back the personal income tax in South Carolina, and to eliminate the corporate income tax. We also discuss other developments in Columbia that are (or should be) ver important to conservatives, including the "Save Women's Sports Act" which seek to prevent biological males, who self-identify as females, from competing in women's sports at the high school level.Also in the second hour, musical artist Savannah Craven joins us in the studio to discuss her upcoming single, "Black Victor". She also discusses her role in the forthcoming production of "Oklahoma!" which will be playing as an outdoor drama beginning August 19 at the Mount Rouge Farm in Roseland, VA. Reese closes out this episode of Saturday Morning Coffee with some parting wisdom from Mark Stein.Thanks for listening to Saturday Morning Coffee! We'll see you next week!Proverbs 3:5-6

The North Carolina House Judiciary Committee heard from supporters and opponents of the Save Women's Sports Act - aimed at preventing transgender girls and women from playing on teams that were established for biological girls and women. Supporters say the bill protects team sports for girls, as required under Title IX federal law, by preventing biological males from using inherent physiological advantages to rob girls of opportunities. Opponents say transgender girls are girls, too, and deserve access to those same opportunities.

This past week on March 16th, South Carolina Republican-controlled House Judiciary Committee tabled the Save Women's Sports Act. This prevented it from moving forward through the legislative process and becoming a law. This act was intended to protect the arena of women-only sports for girls in South Carolina schools. We decided to record this episode as an urgent response, to help inform you about what is going on right now in our State House. And if you don't live in South Carolina, we urge to be on the lookout for mirroring legislation in your state, and of course, to make your voice heard. We were able to secure an interview with Representative Ashley Trantham, and Meagan sits down with her to learn about the specifics of the bill, what prevented it from going through, and how we can do better in the future.
