The Best and Worst of The OBBB And The Truth About Women's Healthcare · Conversations: Special Guests with Preston Scott

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Literally turning the page on the rundown. And here we
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: go into the third and final hour at least for
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the today, for to day of the Morning Show with
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Preston Scott Show fifty four to nineteen. He's ose, I'm
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Preston and this is us Congresswoman Cat Camic.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Hi, Cat, good morning, how are you.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I'm terrific. You have got to be about like really ready.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: I am so pregnant. That's the only way to explain it.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: And all of the ladies out there will know exactly
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: what I mean when I say I am so pregnant,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: meaning you can't walk, you can't move, you waddle, you
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: kind of roll around like a roly poly is. It's
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the phase.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: And let's just throw into it one hundred degree temperatures,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: heat indexes of one hundred and ten. Let's just make
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: it miserable.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know. We really did the trifecta here of
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: insanely hot weather, very very uber pregnant, and managing to
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: trigger every single liberal in all at the same time.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about that. The last time we visited, we
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: discussed the absurdity that you, your family, your staff had
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: been uh exposed to because you made some comments about
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: a pregnancy that you were not able to keep back
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: a year better a year or so ago. But last
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: week you introduced a piece of legislation. Let's tell let's
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: tell people about that.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know. And and as we're having this conversation,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I look out my window and I see, you know,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: a deputy right outside my window. That's that's our new normal, unfortunately,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: because of the threat environment that we we now operate
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: in and live within. Uh you know. It was the
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: end of June we had a profile done on us
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: by the Wall Street Journal detailing an ectopic pregnancy that
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I had experienced actually ended up being the rarest and
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: most dangerous type of ectopic pregnancy last year, which for
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: anybody who is not aware, it is not a viable pregnancy.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: They've never been viable, and they typically end up rupturing
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: and causing internal bleeding to the point that it can
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: kill the mother. And so it's classified as a life
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: threatening situation. And for women who have ever experienced this,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: which there's about one in twenty five women experience an
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: ectopic and of course one in four women will experience
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: a miscarriage in their lifetime. Both require treatment and the
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: thing that is really scary is we learned firsthand how
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: the misinformation and the politicization of the issue can really
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: scared doctors. And in my case, this was about a
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: month after Florida's heartbeat bill passed, And what ended up
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: happening was the pro abortion lobby had spent millions of
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: dollars running ads, even going so far as to geo fence,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: meaning they literally would target hospitals and they would push
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: ads to people's cell phones that were in these these
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: areas saying that if they treated women who were undergoing
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: a miscarriage or experiencing an a topic pregnancy, that those
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: doctors or those nurses would lose their license and go
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: to jail. And so we experienced firsthand how that caused
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: a lot of fear and confusion when I showed up
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: at the er, you know, late one night, and I
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: ended up having to read the law to the doctors
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: in the room and making my case. And it's really
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: just crazy because it then turned into people saying, oh
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: my gosh, you had an abortion. By the way, not
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: a single professional medical association has ever classified treatment for
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: miscarriage or topics as an abortion. That's just a lie
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: that the left likes to perpetuate, and then they said
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: things like I voted for the bill, also highlighting that
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: there's a real problem with literacy and CYMC understanding in
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: this country. And it turned into something really nasty where
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: my family, my team, myself, my unborn child, you know,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: we were all the subject of a lot of death
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: threats and still are. And again, this piece was intended
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: to highlight the real lack of access and resource and
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the fact that it's difficult to have a conversation about
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: healthcare in this country and without it turning political and
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: low and behold the left prove my point.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Mainstream media never lets truth stand in the way of
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: a story, and sadly there are enough people that read, watch,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and follow that nonsense that we just have a bunch
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: of misinformed folks. And as a result. Congresswoman kat Camick
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: joins us this morning. She represents Florida's third congressional district
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and has introduced the Truth in Women's Healthcare Act. What
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: does it do?
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Kat? So, this really came out of our experience, but
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: also wanting to set the stage for what's to come
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: down the road, which is an effort to tackle real
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: challenges in our sick care system, because I think collectively
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: we can all agree we don't have healthcare in this country.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: We have sick care, and it's pretty depressing that you
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: have health insurance companies making health care decisions for folks.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: So we started out with this really setting the stage
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: for never allowing someone to go through what I went through.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: You have heard these stories where, like I did, I
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: was sitting there, you know, eminently about to bleed out,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: and people are saying, well, you know, we're not really
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: sure if we can, and I'm like, I just read
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: you the law, and they're like, yeah, but you know
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: that we keep getting all these advertisements and there's got
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: to be some truth to that. You know. Little did
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: they know or could we know at that time, but
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: the state of Florida actually had to sue these groups
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: in order for them to take it down. And when
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: you're living in this this era of just mass overload,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: people say anything and it gets taken as truth. You know,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: it's kind of like, oh, I saw it on Facebook,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: so therefore it has to be true. I can't touch
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: how scary that is. And then you look at the
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: broader healthcare space and you know, people are absolutely completely
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: taken down rabbit holes and craziness. So the Truth in
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Women's Healthcare Act was really just making it very clear
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: that there is a fundamental difference between an elective abortion
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: where someone says, you know, a woman says I just
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: don't want to have a kid, and it is a
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: viable pregnancy, and they terminate the life of their child.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: That is something that I am fundamentally against, and I
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: know so many people who are right, and we're going
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: to continue that fight for all life because I believe
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: all life has value. When you have a situation of
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: a miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy, those are not viable pregnancies.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: They never have been, they never will be. And again,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: if you're pro life, you're going to fight for the
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: life of the mother. And so really making clear that
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: the abortion lobby can no longer use women as ponds
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: in conflating what treatment is for those versus elective abortions.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: That's what this resolution does, and it will set the
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: stage for us to start tackling this with insurance companies
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: and then getting resources to women in particularly rural and
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: underserved areas. The entire time I was going through this,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I kept saying to my husband, What happens to women
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: who don't have a doctor, What happens to the women
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: who don't have a car. You know, it was really
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: really scary for me, and I feel really lucky because
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: I've got a car and a husband and I could
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: pick up the phone and call my doctor. Not everybody's
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: in that situation, and so we need to make sure
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: that we're addressing the real gaps and shortfalls in our system.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Kat If I may just we got about a minute
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: in this segment, but let me take it a step further.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: What happens to the woman who's not a member of Congress,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: who oh, by the way, knows what the law in
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: her state is.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's what's so crazy. So we actually
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: started reaching out to the different medical associations, the American
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Medical Association, the Association, the College of American College of
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: kind of Colleges, an ob obstetrics, like, we started reaching
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: out to them and saying, you guys need to be
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: pushing out accurate information and you can't let the politics
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: cloud where things are at based on the era that
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: we're living in. We have to be true to the
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: science here. And so this resolution, like I said, it
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: reaffirms that not a single professional accredited medical association believes
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: that abortion is what happens when you go through this right,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: that's going to then translate into tackling the insurance companies
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: and how they build. And then it's going to also
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: create some legal precedent so that again the pro abortion
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: lobby can never use this as a weapon to hurt women. Ever, again, we.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Know the tax cuts had to get done. It got done.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: What is the one thing that is most important in
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the OBBB other than the tax cuts?
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Oh? Oh man, there's so much.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: What's the one that's on top of the list, though,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: outside the tax.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Cut, outside the text, I would have to say border security. Honestly,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: there is no country without borders, right, you can't have
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: a sovereign nation if you don't have secure borders. And
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: the hell that we have lived under for the previous
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: four years of open border policies, the Americans that have
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: lost their lives, the families that have been broken, the
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: crimes that have been committed by people who never should
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: have been here in the first place. I think about
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: those angel families all the time. And the one big,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: beautiful bill it gave the most significant investment into border
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: security for not just keeping the border secure, because President
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Trump he's actually in the first six months he made
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: it so that those borders are shut down like they're
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: completely secure. But now it's a matter of putting up
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: the infrastructure. That's the multiplier effect, and then giving the
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: resources to ICE and to customs and border patrol. They
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: really have a lot of work to do at the
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: commercial ports, but then also the interior enforcement. And so
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I would say outside of the tax cuts, right like
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: no tax on over time, no tax on tips, locking
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: in taxes to avoid the largest tax increase in history,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: border security was the most significant thing to come out
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: of that bill.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: All right, what's the worst that has to be addressed asap?
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: H there was, of course I'm biased because it was
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: my bill, But the Rains Act. We made it through
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: the House with the Rains Act, which is the largest
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: regulatory reform effort in American history. Passing the Rains Act
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: saves US taxpayers two point five trillion dollars with a
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: t every single year. So when we talk about spending
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: and the national security threat that is our debt, I
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: would say that if we don't address regulatory reform, that
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: is going to continue to put us on that autopilot
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: spending spree that is going to be it's going to
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: ultimately take us down. And so I think that the
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: worst thing was we didn't make enough of a substantial savings.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: We didn't cut enough of the deficit, and we need
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: to go back and we need to be absolutely ruthless
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: in getting our fiscal house in order.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Where is allowing us, you know, it's a pet issue
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: for me, total control of our own retirement, where the
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: government doesn't tell us what age we have to take
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: anything out. We can take it. It's our money, we
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: can take it whenever we want without penalty.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: So there's a lot of talk right now, especially since
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: the Big Beautiful Bill included the MAGA Trump accounts for baby.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: It's ignited a conversation about five twenty nine's about ross iras,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: about iras in general four ah one kse. Really that
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: has stimulated a conversation in ways that I haven't seen previously.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: So I think the talk of a second reconciliation package,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: which is happening right now, will include additional reforms. But
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's just retirement right where people should
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: have the ability to make decisions about their own retirement
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: accounts and how they want to use that money and win.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: But I think it should also extend to health savings accounts.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: People should be able to take their health savings account
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: and use it in a way that they see fit.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I think, I really think that money for children that
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: goes towards their education should follow the child, not the school.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: I really think that there is a conversation that has
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: started that is going to carry on through the next
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: couple of years that we're going to see serious reforms
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: to long standing programs that's going to really change the
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: way that we operate.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, I'm sixty cat, I'm sixty five. You
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: got five years to get it done.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: No pressure, right, I needed for the many people. Let
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: it be known, Preston has put me on the clock.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Come on, come on, Kats. In all seriousness, you're a delight.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: We look forward to these visits and so appreciative that
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: you carve out time for us over here in the
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Panhandle and Big Bend. And we wish you nothing but
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: the very best in the delivery of your little baby girl.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: And thank you so much for the time, and we'll
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: talk soon.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: I appreciate you so much. God bless take care by bye.
