  Speaker 1: Evans and Second Lady Ushavans are expecting their fourth child
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: this summer, and some critics are taking the time to
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: comment on the Second Lady's fashion choices. New York Times
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: writer Vanessa Friedman decided to spotlight recent pregnancies in the
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Trump administration, writing this, if the bear chested muscle mixed
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Martial arts fighters of the UFC match that President Trump
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: hosted on Flag Day where the poster guys for Magazin
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Image of Masculinity, then the pregnant women of Trump World
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: are one half of their feminine counterparts. Ever since Ushavans,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Caroline Lovett, and Katie Miller revealed their pregnancies, their public
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: appearances have showcased their growing stomachs. Forget the maternity MoU move,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: forget body con, this is baby con. The Second Lady
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: didn't sit quiet, mocking the article with a tongue in
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: cheek response that reads, in part, now that we know
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the political significance of my coral eight dollars seventy five
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: cents maternity dress from Old Navy, can't wait to hear
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: what the New York Times has to say about my
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: elastic waistban pants and compression socks. Wow. What a response.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: And the second lady came with receipts, posting a photo
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: of her eight dollars seventy five cent purchase with a
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: promo code discounts in all Emily. The most impressive part
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: of the story is that promo code got her a
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: three dollars seventy four cent dress that looked beautiful, amazing.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I love it. This reminds me of Princess Diana actually
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: when she was pregnant with now Prince William, and back then,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: especially especially in the UK, it was sort of taboo
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: to be pregnant in public, let alone or royal and
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: she wore that gorgeous dress and showcase being pregnant to
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: the perhaps horror of some stiffer stiff upper lippers, but
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: to the appreciation of the masses. And I see that
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: here in a different form. There is no way in
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: hell that if a Democrat was in the Oval office
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: there would be any of this snide, snart commentary about
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: beautiful women who are pregnant. Instead, there would probably be
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: a celebration of the fact that so many working women
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: in this Trump administration are pregnant at the same time
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: and are holding down the fort and doing a million
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: things at the same time, like every American woman out there,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: but this administration just does a really great job of
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: employing and celebrating them. And I also note that Katie
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Miller suggested there that she's noticed that nowadays it's really difficult.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know about this and you know more, but
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: that she has seen a decrease in wardrobe availability for
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: pregnant women and that so many, so many labels. Essentially
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: it's like maybe not cost effective or whatever, in part
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: perhaps because of the declining birth rate, so you can't
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: find maternity gear anymore. And I know a lot of
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: friends that have that problem. They wear their husband's clothes,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: or they wear you know, baggy shirts or whatever. And
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: so beautiful Usha Vance is showcasing her beautiful pregnant body
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: to the twoe of eight seventy five. I applaud that.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: And I really wish the New York Times and all
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: of these snarky fashion writers would stop vilifying Republican women
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: and instead celebrating them.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: That Katie Miller is exactly right. I mean, I would
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: search at department stores and there'd be like three items,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and they're like, okay, thanks for the variety, guys, so
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: she's correct on that, Harris. The title of this piece,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the Politics and the Power of the Pregnancy image, to
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Emily's exact point, if it were the Biden era, would
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: be the true feminist women of the Biden administration.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really interesting because we live at a collision
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: point about pregnancy, right. I mean, we've got to pretend
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: like men can get pregnant. I mean there are a
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: whole lot of things that are happening around pregnant women,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: and particularly those in the right. You live this though,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: right in the White House. Carried Blake, and I want
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: to know your perspective.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: So I was on the Trump campaign and then brought
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Blake into the White House as basically a newborn. And
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: it was crazy because I remember crying when I got
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the job. I was excited, but I was like, how
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: am I going to raise a three month old and
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: go to the White House during COVID all of the challenges,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: all of the fears any working mom has as they
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: go to work with a little one. But I found
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: myself totally embraced. And it was actually President Trump who
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: said to me one Saturday night, like, hey, go home,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: go be with your baby, Like there's nothing more important
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: than that. So it's the soft side of the president
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: you don't see, and maybe that's what made these women
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: feel comfortable enough to have a child while working for him.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely grip.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Well, let me just preface this by saying that pregnant
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: women's fashion isn't an arena I often veer into. After
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: reading that New York Times piece, It's like I kept
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: waiting for the reference to the Handmaid's Tale.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: It was just a.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Vicious piece, and ultimately, you know, the reaction has been
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: the best part, which is the fact that so many
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: Americans are supporting her and cheering her on when she
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: was posting the receipts because it's relatable to women. Look,
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: my wife had two gorgeous daughters. I remember for you know,
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: those years when she was pregnant. You know they you
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: women work hard when you're pregnant to find things and
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: you want to look good. So why can't it just
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: be applauded across all political lines. I'll also add this
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: give credit to this administration. This past weekend on Fox
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: and Friends, we had a massive wall with all of
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: the cabinet families that had children. There are including Dvance'
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: as expected seventy two across this administration. That is a
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: very profoundly pro get pregnant sort of world, and I
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: think that should be celebrated.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: They used the Handmaid's Tale reference during year one of
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration. The media did so maybe they didn't
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: want to be repetitive with what they said.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: I don't know what The New York Times is doing.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: This is silly, and I have said on this couch
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: I think Usha Vance is an incredible political asset for
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: her husband. I mean, you know, he clearly I think
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: is probably running for president in the next election. And
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: the podcast and her interviews, I mean, I know she
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: sat down Kaylee with you and others. She and the
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: response to this was very smart and savvy. And I
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: obviously don't agree with JD. Vance's politics or policies, but
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: I do think his wife is an incredible asset and
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: that matters in politics. When you're running for office, it's
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: not just you, it's the whole package. And I think
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: that Usha Vance continues to show her real political savvy,
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: which is relatable.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with you more. I think she's a
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: huge asset for him, especially if he goes into twenty
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: twenty eight and runs He's got Usha at his side.
• 5:59
