• 0:02
  Speaker 1: As we literally turn the page on the rundown, we say,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: good morning friends. Welcome ruminators, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: males and females only. Welcome to the third and final hour,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: at least for today, of the Morning Show with Preston
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Scott and Preston. He is Jose and this is US
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Congresswoman Kat Cammick. How are you today?
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Good morning fellas.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Let's get it over with. Florida Gators won a national title.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, brag.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, I wouldn't want to make any of our
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: friends feel bad. He supports the JV team seminole. Oh,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: I'm sure what happened? You know? They they didn't make
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: it in the tournament? Yeah, I know. I mean, but
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe there's always baseball. Oh wait, we swept
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: y'all clean and baseball too.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Actually, no, you didn't sweep.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: We can keep going on this if you really want.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I want to talk soccer.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, okay, Look, we got to take what we
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: can get.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Look, while we're on the subject, is Congress does Congress
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: need to step in here on a couple of things
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: dealing with the NCAA. First, the issue of n I
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: L I'm of the opinion Kat that that we need
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to if they want to be treated like professionals and
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: get paid, they need to sign a contract which obligates
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: them to the school for X amount of time.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: So to answer your first part, yes, Congress unfortunately is
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: going to have to play a role in the ni
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: L issue because it's reached such a place that we
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: have antitrust issues. You've got kids signing contracts, a transfer
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: portal that has become the wild West, and we're dealing
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: with incredible amounts of money. But there's also this issue
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: that you know, I, as a good capitalist, believe that
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: these students, because they are students first and foremost, they
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: have a right just like if somebody was to invent
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: something as a student on campus.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, or you know we're doing.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: A side hustle, they have a right to make money
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: off of the brand that they create. How do we
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: facilitate that without this turning into some big old mess.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I think one there needs to be a conversation of
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: the transfer portal and how many times you can transfer,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: because roster management is a real issue, and if we
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: don't get our hands around this, what's going to end
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: up happening is we're going to end up going to
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: a revenue sharing model, and the revenue sharing will effectively
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: violate Title nine because the only real revenue generating sports
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: and because they're set up this way, I mean, it's
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: men's football, right, it's football, and then it's men's basket
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: and you don't see men baseball being a revenue generator
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: or any other sports. And so that would then turn
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: into a complete annihilation of all the other sports on campus,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: which then would lead us down the road to unionization
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: of these athletes. And we don't want these kids becoming
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: employees and subsequently in do paying athletes and employees of
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: these colleges and universities. So yeah, we've had several hearings
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: on this. We need to figure out a way to
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: thread this needle, to really address this, because I do
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: think these kids have a right to make money off
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: of it, but there's got to be some guardrails here
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: because they are also receiving funds in the forms of scholarships.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: And when you have universities giving f one fifties and
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Lamborghinis and the collectives are generating this money for these kids,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: it's getting out of control. Very So.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Back with us Congresswoman Kat Camick with us. When she
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: steps in the negotiations, it's two against one because she's
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: carrying her baby daughter with her now And and I
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: loved it the last time you shared that she walked
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: into those major negotiations with the House speaker, that was
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: that that's going to be an awesome story to tell.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Kat.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: But I'm wondering, now that you know your you and
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: your husband are going to have a baby girl, has
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: this issue of men competing against women ramped up even
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: a little bit more?
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, I think you know, you your perspective certainly
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: changes when you become a parent, and there's just an
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: appreciation that you have going through the process. I mean,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: so your eyes open up in so many different ways.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: And I remember, you know, when I was growing up,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I played three sports the year, all through elementary, middle
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: and high school. And one year I got injured pretty
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: bad and wasn't able to play softball, and so I
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: wanted to still do something active, and so I said,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: well I want to I'll try golf, you know, something
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: that's a little less impact, low impact. And the school
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: told me and my mom that they didn't have a
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: girls' golf team, and that I wasn't allowed to play
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: on the boys team, and that was that They were like, no,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: it's the boys team. And I said, well what do
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I do? And they said, you got to find four
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: girls and you can create your own team. And we
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: did that. And that's kind of how it's always been,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: is you know, they've kept especially at the high school level,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: certainly you'd want it. At the collegiate level, you get
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: to a place where it becomes dangerous, and we're seeing
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: that with a lot of women getting very very seriously
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: injured competing against men. And there's just a biological difference
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: that the science has stayed in. It is real. You
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: can claim that you're a woman all day long, but
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: your DNA and your physiological state is telling the world
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: and you otherwise. And it's a very real concern. And
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I think if people thought that I was tough and
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: a pain in their side before, wait till they meet
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Mama Bear. Because if anyone ever tries to make my
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: daughter compete against a biological man, hell and fury will
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: reign because we should never put our daughters in a
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: position that would compromise their safety.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: At what point do you feel like this just is
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: going to have to be settled by the Supreme Court
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: to make the NCAA. But even Congress address this appropriately
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: where it's not a birth certificate. Ken Paxton's dealing with
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: an issue right now in Texas where they were teaching
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: somebody how to get around the loopholes by adjusting a
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: birth certificate. That's why it has to be DNA. It
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: has to be something else.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, I mean, there's going to have to be some
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: evolution in how people are recognized for their biological sex.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I mean people are just looking to gain the system,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: and I mean we saw that with the Leah Thomas,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: you know, the man who tends to be a woman.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: You know, it's people will just claim, oh, I'm a
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: woman all of a sudden because I was a subpar
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: you know, male swimmer ranked four hundred and thirty two,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: and you know, all of a sudden, I feel very feminine.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: You know, I feel like a woman today. So there
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: you go, I'm going to compete against the girls. There
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: are very real consequences to this. It's over a thousand
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: you know, national titles, really big championships that have been
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: in women's sports that have gone to men. Here in
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: the last four years, so it's not just the physical
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: safety side of it, but it's also the opportunities of
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: which Title nine was designed to give opportunity to women
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: and girls, and we're talking lost scholarships. When we're getting
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: to the Olympic level, it does become a safety issue
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: in even more sense. I mean, look at the boxing
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: we just as the Republican Women's Caucus sent a letter
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: to USA Fencing, they had a female fencer who declined
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: and refused to compete against demand. Yeah, and they disqualified her.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is just absurd that we're having this conversation.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: But you know, I think that's where President Trump has
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: done such a great job just absolutely taking a hard
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: stand on their two genders. We will recognize only two genders,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: and your government documentation will reflect as such. And it's
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: going to be a long difficult road to try to
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: figure out how we undo all the weird wokeness of
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: the last few years where people can mark non binary
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: weird checked boxes. It's caused a lot of problems with
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: birth certificates, passports. I mean, lord knows, our office is
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: getting some very strange calls right now.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Back with the US congress Woman cat Camick, Florida's third
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Congressional district, fearless fighter for not just Florida, but the Constitution.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: And and I don't know, do you say tomato or
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: do you say tomato?
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I say it's been terminated.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Tell us more.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: I know people are probably like, what, no, what we're
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: going to get in the weeds here a little bit.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: So for many, many years, I think we've had five
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: iterations of it. The United States has had what is
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: called a Tomato Suspension Agreement, which is supposed to protect
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: domestic producers from you know, anti from from dumping, from
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: from foreign competitors. Okay, it buzz And again we're in
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: the weeds here. It's both NAPA, USMCA. These trade deals
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: never had protections for seasonal and perishable proof items commodities,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: and so you can't treat a tomato like you would
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: a piece of steel. Right, there's an expiration date on
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: a tomato versus a piece of steel. And just to
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: give people an idea, you in the last four years
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: have had over one hundred violations by the Mexicans against
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: the United States, zero consequences. The Biden administration looked the
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: other way, and what our producers would sell a box
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: of tomatoes for for let's say, sixteen dollars a box.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: When Mexico dumps their product on our market illegally, it
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: drops it down to about four dollars a box. Right
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: now in the state of Florida, we have American growers,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: multi generation families here in Florida that are not picking.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: They actually pulled out of many other operations across the state.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: And you have very good product just dying on the vine,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: but they can't afford to pick it because it's a
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: loss right. And so right before President Trump instituted tariffs,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Mexico ramped up the amount that they were dumping to
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: the tune of forty pounds in a single day, is
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: in some cases onto our market. And so to really
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: just put a button on it. In early two thousands,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: we had about two hundred and fifty family farms in
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: the state of Florida that were producing and selling tomatoes.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Today there's twenty three. And if this agreement didn't get terminated,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: what would happen is next year you would have zero
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: tomato producers in the state of Florida. And let's remember
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: food security is national security. So the we worked very
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: closely with the Commerce Department, the White House, and the USDA.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: It's actually the Commerce Department that has jurisdiction over this,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: and for the last several months we've been having meetings
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: with these agencies, and last night it was official the
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: United States terminated this agreement and told told our Mexican
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: partners that they're not interested in renegotiating. They have been
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: bad partners in this space, and now we're going to
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: be putting America first, and that means our growers and
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: producers here in the state.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: So the next growing season and words getting out to
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: those twenty three farms and ostensibly anyone who wants to
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: now maybe get back into that place.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I spent I spent all afternoon on the phone
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: with our tomato growers around the state and they were also,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, this this impacts our Texas growers, our California
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: growers bally, and they all, I mean, it was like
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: a game of telephone. People were so excited. I had
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: grown men crying saying we actually may have a shot
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: next year because it's a total loss this year for them.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: And I mean, this is really really tough to stomach
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: when you've got big developers coming in and saying hey,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: we'll buy We'll buy your property and turn it into
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: a housing development. And we all know if you can't
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: produce your nation's food, your food insecure, and that becomes
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: a national security issue and we cannot rely on our
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: foreign friends or adversaries for our nation's food supply. And
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: so this is not just a heritage issue. But we've
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: got producers around the state and the country who are
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: breathing a big sigh of relief that the Trump administration
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: took very swift on apologetic action.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Well done, you man. That's see, this is why we
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: love you, Kat, because this is stuff that impacts lives,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: not just it not just impacts those farmers, impacts, like
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: you said, everybody's home and good for you. This leads
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: me perfectly to something we actually almost joked about that
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: there were two hundred and eight Democrats that voted against
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the Save Act And I just want to give you
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: a couple minutes to comment on that.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's a no brainer. Everybody wants election integrity
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: unless you're trying to achieve the system right. And we've
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: said for years there why do the Democrats want open borders?
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: And then you compare that to oh, well they wanted
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: HR two a couple congresses ago, which I'm sorry HR one,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: which would have allowed for non citizens to vote, and
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: it started making sense. The agenda of the left has
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: always been about dependency and control. Grow the size of government,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: make people dependent on these government programs. Americans have been
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: waking up for years, especially once Trump came down those escalators.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: People started waking up to, oh, my gosh, the system
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: has not really been working for everyday Americans who are
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: trying to do everything by the book. We've been lied to, right,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: and so they the Dems started freaking out, saying, oh,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: how do we get a whole new class of voters
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: that can help us permanently cement our place in Washington.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Let's import them, right. So here we are ten and
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: a half million illegals later, and Democrats have been fighting
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: to get them to vote. The Save Act was simple.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: You have to prove your citizenship. Currently, it's an honor system.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: You check a box that says, yes, I'm a citizen.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: No one follows up on it. Save Act requires any
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: form of ID. It could be a passport, it could
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: be a first certificate, it could be a number of things.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: There's six different pieces of documentation you can use. And
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: the left is said, oh, this is going to prevent
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: seventy million married women from voting because they change their names.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: That is the biggest crop of crap I've ever heard.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: And I cleaned that up. Like Hillary Clinton came out
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: on Twitter and I went after her because it's ridiculous.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: It's one you're insulting women. You're telling women that they're
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: too stupid to change their name and get their documents
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: in order. I'm sorry, have you ever applied for a job.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: You have to say on a job application if you
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: are a citizen, and you have to prove it because
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: if you are in visa or if you're in the
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: country illegally, you have certain restrictions on a visa, or
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: you're not eligible to work if you are in the
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: country illegally. And so it's just really frustrating that people
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: are buying into the same fear mongering that the left
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: has used as a tool for decades. But we cannot
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: ensure the integrity of our elections if we don't know
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: for sure it's just citizens of voting. So it's becoming
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: a messaging war, and if Republicans don't get aggressive, we're
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: going to lose that war.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I wish history we're kinder in that particular topic, but
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: it's not. Kat. You're the best. Thank you so much
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: for the time this morning. We'll talk again soon.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Appreciate it. Go Gator.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: That was cold.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: That was Coldkat, go on, You're always welcome in title town.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Thanks very much. Oh you mean green Bay. Thank you.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Kat Cammick with us this morning on the Morning Show
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: with Preston Scott
