Congressman Greg Steube joined Joe Pags for an exclusive interview just after his landmark bill, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, banning transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports passed the House. With passion and clarity, Steube addressed the importance of protecting women’s athletics, shedding light on the broader implications of the legislation.
“This is actually protecting women, and if Democrats really cared about women, they would support my bill,” Steube stated, referencing testimonies like that of Riley Gaines, who faced discomfort in a locker room shared with a transgender athlete. The bill, which passed in a 218-206 vote, aims to protect women and girls, a move Steube believes ensures fairness in sports.
Steube expressed surprise that two Texas Democrats voted for the measure, saying he was “kind of shocked.” While the bill faces an uphill battle in the Senate, Steube remains optimistic about its future under a Republican-led administration, noting, “We all know that President Trump would sign this if it gets to his desk.”
In addition to the sports bill, Steube and Pags delved into other pressing topics, including Trump’s proposed “Day 1” agenda, which Steube described as “one big beautiful bill” to address key conservative priorities. On the topic of acquiring Greenland, Steube highlighted its strategic importance, stating, “It’s big and strategic from a national security perspective. ”
The conversation also touched on renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, where Steube praised the boldness of Trump’s vision, saying, “What a great idea.”
This exclusive interview offered a glimpse into the fight to preserve American values and protect fairness in women’s sports, while laying out ambitious plans for the future.
