Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the Find Out podcast. We're coming to you on back-to-back days. I hope you enjoyed

our conversation with Governor Newsom yesterday, and we thought it would be great to follow up with

a great friend of the show, someone that we've all become friends with recently over the past few months,

and that is a contact creator

and Gen Z activist Olivia Juliana is here with us. Olivia, thank you for joining us.

I mean, what a hell of a guest to follow up with. I got some big hair to fill. This is a,

I mean, can anybody compete with that? I mean, let's be honest. Like, he, you know, he, he looked good yesterday.

So would you just share a little bit about this story?

Yeah.

You know, judge me not by my friends, but my enemies. And my enemies

within the Republican Party are, uh, many. There are many. Um, but Matt,

Gates is definitely the one that people know the most about. Um, I've been doing reproductive

freedom work, uh, since I was about 17 around the time

that I started doing social media. And in 2022, I had started to get really involved because

Texas was kind of one of the first states to pass a civil bounty abortion ban. And so even before

Roe was overturned, we had really bad abortion restrictions going into place. And so, you know,

I started talking about it a lot. I got a little bit of attention for it. And there was a story in the

Washington Post about me and this Republican influencer and kind of the opposing sides of that.
