Tuberville said it's vital to stand alongside women against the redefinition of Title IX. It was a sit-down worth every American's attention.
The Republican senator welcomed ex-UPenn swimmer Paula Scanlan (former teammate to trans swimmer, Lia Thomas), former ESPN star Sage Steele, and more.
Tuberville admitted to being baffled by the idea that men pretending to be women could take precedence over women in American society.
"Never thought I'd see the day in the United States … ," Tuberville said. "Bottom line is: we've lost our mind."
Tuberville acknowledged the painful impact that Biden's Title IX laws could impose on women.

"We have a bill pushed out in the House and Senate, the Protection of Women and Girls Sports Act.
