John fedman is a guy who we often say
0:41
he's reasonable he's one of the
0:43
reasonable Democrats a rare breed of
0:45
these days somebody who knows Common
0:49
Sense who who is in touch with the
0:51
people who can see which way the
0:52
political winds are shifting and
0:54
generally
0:56
speaking I agree with him in fact I've
0:59
often advoc ated for fedman joining the
1:01
Republican party I this guy's got a lot
1:03
of Republican values but at the end of
1:05
the
1:06
day when push comes to shove he's a
1:10
liberal he's a progressive liberal he's
1:13
no he's not AOC he's not Omar he's not
1:16
Jasmine Crockett he's not Bernie
1:18
Sanders but he's a liberal he's
1:21
certainly more Progressive than a Nancy
1:23
Pelosi let's put it that
1:25
way and he proved it in this interview
1:29
see he voted against the protecting
1:31
women in sports
1:33
act because he was
1:36
afraid that it
1:38
might disproportionately affect a
1:40
marginalized group well here's the thing
1:43
ask women who were getting injured ask
1:45
girls who are having their records
1:46
broken who can't win a competition
1:48
because they're facing biological men
1:50
ask
1:52
them ask them how they
1:55
feel about being protected ask them if
1:58
they feel marginalized
2:00
if they feel like they need protection
2:03
it's absolutely ridiculous to watch
2:04
what's happening to women in this
2:05
country and people who used to be
2:08
feminists people who used to say we
2:09
stand up for women are standing aside
2:12
while women get erased in the name of
2:16
equality when a guy goes from 10th place
2:19
on the boys team to Breaking records on
2:22
the girls team and you tell me there's
2:23
not an unfair Advantage you are not
2:26
looking at reality you're defying
2:28
reality you don't want to look at what's
2:32
true the fact of the matter is women are
2:36
under attack in this country especially
2:38
in the World of Sports it's a damn shame
2:42
and all the 1960s feminists well they've
2:45
all
2:46
disappeared I want you guys to watch
2:48
this video with Senator fedman and let
2:51
me know what you think in the comments
2:53
I'm not dumb either I know the polling
2:56
and now a lot of people are saying it's
2:59
absurd aerd uh kinds of thing and now uh
3:03
so for me that that's when I felt like
3:06
it's a time to really say look now for
3:08
me it's about I'm not going to bully or
3:11
I'm not going to degrade those and now
3:13
you know we're a 13 million uh people in
3:16
our state and it's a small small number
3:19
of people that are involved on that and
3:21
I have a I have a 13-year-old daughter
3:23
and she plays basketball and I'm not
3:25
array that she's going to get mowed down
3:28
but but for me but it it turns into an
3:30
issue that is more appropriate to be
3:33
handled on at a very hyperlocal level
3:35
and not dropping them into a meat
3:37
grinder uh a national THS and
3:40
weaponizing that and I know I'm not dumb
3:42
I know the there'll be commercials
3:44
saying you know Federman for they them
3:46
and blah blah blah and I'm like hey you
3:49
know like bring it in I'm not I'm not
3:50
afraid to stand for my side uh on on
3:54
that because for there you know these
3:56
kids for for me how difficult that it is
3:59
and now in this kinds of a world Nuance
4:02
goes to die and having a more meaningful
4:05
conversation on that it's difficult
4:08
right now so for me you know that I made
4:11
I made that choice and I could have
4:12
tried to kept my head down like a lot of
4:14
my other colleagues decided to do that
4:17
but but for me even though I know it's
4:19
uh politically unpopular I think that's
4:22
the kind of time to do that and I do I
4:24
do believe that a person's character is
4:26
defined by the things that they're
4:28
willing to do even if that moves against
4:30
their political interests I appreciate
