SUCH A PLEASURE TO HAVE YOU BOTH ON THE SHOW. WELCOME. KURT, SO PRESIDENT BIDEN FIRED PEOPLE FROM ALL THE BOARDS. THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED I UNDERSTAND. USUALLY YOU JUST RUN OUT YOUR TERM. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHY YOU THINK YOU SPECIFICALLY WERE FIRED OR WHY THEY WANTED TO GET RID OF A DISABILITY BOARD THAT I IMAGINE IS PROBABLY PRETTY BIPARTISAN? >> GOOD MORNING, RACHEL. GOOD MORNING "FOX & FRIENDS." THANK YOU FOR HAVING US TODAY. YES, CHLOE AND I HAVE BEEN ADVOCATING INDIVIDUALS OF DOWN SYNDROME SINCE HER BIRTH SINCE 2003. WE’RE VERY PRO-LIFE FROM NATURAL CONCEPTION TO DEATH. WE HAVE A REPUTATION.

WE BEGAN SHOWING TO THE STATE CAPITOL, THE ABILITY OF PEOPLE WITH WHEN THEY RECEIVE THE PROPERTY SERVICES. INSTEAD OF BEING TOLD TO TERMINATE THE CHILD ONCE YOU GET THE DIAGNOSIS. WHEN A WOMAN, FAMILY RECEIVES PRENATAL DIAGNOSIS, THEY HAVE TO GIVE THEM FACTUAL, SUPPORTIVE INFORMATION THAT WAS THE BRAINCHILD OF CHLOE’S LAW. SHE MET WITH REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS.
