1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: The Supreme Court is about to decide if your daughter 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: has a future in sports or if she loses everything 3 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,119 Speaker 1: every time to a biological male. Riley Gains dropped the 4 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,319 Speaker 1: evidence the NCAA knew what it was doing was wrong, 5 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: but kept right on doing it anyway. She's here to 6 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: warn you. If we lose this case, women sports are 7 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 1: gone forever. Family, Are things better now than for your daughter? 8 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: I mean, any hesitation bringing a you couldn't decide the gender. 9 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: Of course, she's a beautiful daughter, But any apprehension with 10 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: a daughter now knowing what it is that you've been 11 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: fighting for for the better part of what is it 12 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 1: four or five years now? Something like that, maybe even 13 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: more than that. But is the world better for Margo 14 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,959 Speaker 1: than it was for girls and women just a few 15 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: years ago? 16 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 2: The world is much safer, more just more fair, more 17 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 2: righteous for girls like Margo now than it was two 18 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 2: years ago. And that's pretty strictly because of who we 19 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 2: have back in the Oval office, Riley. 20 00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: Was it only two years ago? Are you kidding me? 21 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: It was just too years ago? 22 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 2: I know not even we've seen so much momentum, and 23 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,119 Speaker 2: we've seen so many victories and wins in the past. 24 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 2: I mean, really just one year. I think we're in 25 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 2: January now. President Trump was inaugurated last January, and one 26 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 2: year we have seen so much movement towards again a 27 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 2: just and fair and safe world, which who wouldn't want 28 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 2: that for their daughters, for all of humanity, and again 29 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 2: largely thanks to people like President Trump, of course day one, 30 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 2: signing an executive order declaring there are only two sexes, 31 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 2: male and female. I've always wanted to ask the critics 32 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 2: of this first and foremost, well, how many are there? 33 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: Right? 34 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 3: Like, how many sexes are there? 35 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 2: If you say there aren't two, what's is there a 36 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 2: finite number? And to that point, if there is, then 37 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 2: what are they right? They've never been able to answer 38 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 2: those questions. I got to stand alongside the President as 39 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 2: he signed his executive order barring men from participating in 40 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 2: women's sports within any educational program that receives federal fund 41 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 2: and Joe, it was one of the most amazing things 42 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: that day. Because you have President Trump. Maybe you remember, 43 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 2: like some of the visuals and images and videos that 44 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 2: surface clips on Fox News whatever it was, You've got 45 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 2: President Trump surrounded by a sea of young girls, and 46 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 2: it was special to me because I had just found out. 47 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 3: I was pregnant. No one else knew I knew I 48 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 3: was pregnant. 49 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 2: And I remember looking at this visual, President Trump, You're 50 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 2: surrounded by five six, seven, eight year old girls and 51 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 2: they've got their bows in their hair that they were 52 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: on the soccer field, or their jersey or their uniforms on. 53 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 2: And that visual meant more to me than I could 54 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 2: possibly put into words. And that's constantly what I think 55 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 2: about when I see people like again. You probably remember 56 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 2: Governor of Maine, Governor Mills, who thought she had kind 57 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: of this mic drop moment where she told President Trump, 58 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 2: I'll see you in courtA. You've got Governor Gavin Newsom, 59 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 2: who likes to sit on the fence or appear to 60 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: sit on the fence on this issue, kind of winking 61 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: at both sides, telling Charlie Kirk before he was prematurely 62 00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 2: taken from this. 63 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 3: Earth and podcast. 64 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 2: Look, it's really end for it's deeply unfair to have 65 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 2: men and women's sports get again. We know his voting 66 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 2: record on this. Yes, when those people oppose this issue, 67 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 2: I think they're doing it in an attempt to, you know, 68 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 2: give Donald Trump a middle finger. But that's not what 69 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 2: they're doing at all. They're giving all those little girls 70 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,239 Speaker 2: who surrounded Donald Trump on that day the middle finger. 71 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 2: People like my young daughter, girls like her. That's who 72 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: they're giving the middle finger to, not President Trump, but 73 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 2: because of him. I think we're seeing a more safe 74 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 2: and justin fairworld. 75 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: It's Riley Gaines. Could check out the Rilly Gaines show. 76 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: She does it twice a week. Go and check it 77 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: out at Riley Gaines and all the social media. She's amazing. 78 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: So you're saying, had Kamala Harris won and thank god 79 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: it didn't happen, that things would not be as good 80 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: for Margo because under a Kamala Harris or a Joe Biden, 81 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: or an auto pen or a fill in the blank, 82 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: they literally just wanted to eliminate women. If there is 83 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: no protection for women and girls in sports, or it's 84 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: than any guy, any male, any x y can go 85 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: and take them on without with total impunity. There is 86 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: no punishment. You could take them. A woman would never 87 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: win anything again if they allowed that to happen. Would 88 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: it have been that different had she won? 89 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 3: I can't even fathom what it would look like. 90 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 2: And not even just in sports, which yes, of course, right, 91 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 2: like you don't even have a women's sporting category. 92 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 3: If anyone can be a woman, yeah right. 93 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: And it's so ironic because they claim to be the 94 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 2: party of in for women, you know, fierce defenders of 95 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: women's rights. How in the world can they claim to 96 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 2: defend what they can't even define, Joe, they can't even 97 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 2: define what a woman is. And that was re solidified 98 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 2: just a few weeks back at the Supreme Court. I 99 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 2: stood on the Supreme Court steps as we heard from 100 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 2: the inside the ACLU lawyers who had no definition for 101 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 2: sex man, woman, girl, boy, male female mother father of 102 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 2: course Justice Jackson, who's inside, who famously could not answer 103 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 2: the question of what is a woman because she's not 104 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 2: a biologist. That's the entirety of the Democratic Party. But 105 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 2: it's not just in sports, where I would be concerned 106 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 2: for the safety that my daughter would inherit if President 107 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 2: Trump didn't win and the alternative did. Think of what 108 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 2: we've seen at the border, President Trump shutting down the border, 109 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 2: deporting illegal immigrants. Are we so quick to forget the 110 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 2: plethora of young women just like Lake and Riley. Of course, 111 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 2: she has become I think the most renowned Her story 112 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 2: the most well known and has garnered the most media attention, 113 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 2: But there are so many other young women and people 114 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 2: just like her who died at the hands of illegals 115 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 2: who were in this country again unjustly undocumented. At that 116 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 2: we have no idea how many illegal immigrants are here 117 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 2: totally unvetted. So for that, my daughter's safety on that front, 118 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 2: I'm so just grateful. So it's unfathomable the damage, the 119 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 2: destruction that would have been done had Kamala Harris and 120 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 2: jazz hands Tim Waltz one. And now we're seeing, of course, 121 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 2: the fraud that's happening in Minnesota. 122 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, well he's in big trouble. 123 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. 124 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 2: I saw today where he announced he will never run 125 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 2: for political office again. I hope, I desperately hope he 126 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 2: will not be able to do that because he will 127 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 2: be behind bars. Yeah, he should be behind bars, accountable 128 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 2: to the politics and. 129 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 3: Of the law. 130 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: Well, there's so much evidence out there that this guy 131 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: is dirty, and that his lieutenant governor is dirty, and 132 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: that Jacob Fry, the mayor, is dirty, and the police 133 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: chief is dirty.

Standing They're 147 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: naked in front of all of these young women that 148 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: that deserve privacy when they're changing into the swim swim outfit. 149 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: When you tied with Will Thomas, a man, they said, 150 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: he gets to hold the trophy.

Riley and I think we've talked 152 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: about this before, but did you say to yourself, I 153 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: had this is an inflection point for Riley Gains the person. 154 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: I cannot because your your your sporting life was just 155 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: about done. But as a person, you had an inflection point. 156 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: I just closed my eyes close my mouth walk away. 157 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: All right, a big dude won the swimming competition. Let 158 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,679 Speaker 1: me go be a dentist or or I mean, was 159 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: was it that salient where you said, Nope, I'm gonna 160 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: be loud, I'm gonna be boisterous, I'm gonna make some noise. 161 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be that person. What happens right then? Is 162 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: it a conscious decision or a moral decision? I know 163 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: I have to do this, you. 164 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 2: Know, I think it kind of goes both ways. Yeah, 165 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 2: I think more more so in hearing you describe it 166 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 2: that way. Honestly, I think back to how I felt 167 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 2: in that moment, all the while knowing it was wrong, 168 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 2: right Like. It wasn't like I had this epiphany where 169 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 2: I suddenly realized it was wrong. 170 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 3: No, that wasn't the case. 171 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 2: Me, my teammates, my coaches, my family, anyone with a 172 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 2: fifth grade understanding of science and biology and a shred 173 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 2: of honesty knew it was wrong from the inception of 174 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 2: this issue, So there was not necessarily an epiphany. 175 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 3: But I remember feeling in that moment like a. 176 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 2: Flip or a switch had been flipped, where suddenly I 177 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 2: was overcome with feelings of guilt and conviction and responsibility. 178 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: Wait, wait right, why would you ever be guilty? Why 179 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: would you ever feel guilt in what way? 180 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 2: Because I participated in the farce by me staying silent, 181 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 2: I was just as guilty as the people who created 182 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 2: the policies and forced the policies. By me going along 183 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 2: with it, I was no different than those people. 184 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 3: And I think it took. 185 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 2: Me ultimately being negatively and directly impacted before I saw 186 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 2: it in that light, because up until that point, I 187 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 2: just didn't think it was my responsibility. 188 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 3: Right, I was the one affected by this. 189 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 2: I shouldn't have to speak about it, right, Like there's adults, 190 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 2: which I was an adult at the time, twenty one 191 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 2: years old, of course, over that, you know, no longer 192 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 2: a kid. 193 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 3: Although I still felt like it. 194 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 2: I felt like there were people in place whose job 195 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 2: it was to protect us. Actually they were getting paid 196 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 2: really glamorous salaries to protect us and didn't at all. 197 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 2: Actually worse, they were the ones who put us in 198 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 2: harm's way. And it wasn't until I was negatively impacted 199 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 2: personally and directly that I understood. 200 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 3: Like, how can I even look myself in. 201 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 2: The mirror, Like I have a younger sister and at 202 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 2: that point, you know, I could only hope that I 203 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 2: would have a daughter of my own one day. Flash 204 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 2: forward now not even four years, and here she is. 205 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 2: God has blessed us with her. That's what I thought 206 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 2: of in that moment. 207 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 3: It wasn't about me. This was the end of my 208 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 3: swimming career. So I was done. 209 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 2: This capped off eighteen years of of you know, dedication 210 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 2: and sacrifice, social sacrifice, personal sacrifice, the physical toll, the 211 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 2: mental toll, all of that that it takes on you. 212 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 2: This capped off eighteen years of that. But I realized 213 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 2: at that point standing on the podium, it wasn't about 214 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 2: me anymore, and how selfish it was for me to 215 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 2: ever approach it in that light. It was about girls 216 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 2: like my younger sister or my future daughter, now my 217 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 2: very present daughter. 218 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 3: It's about her. 219 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: That's my five daughters. It's about my three grandchildren, who 220 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: my two grandchildren who happen to be a girls. And 221 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: I've got a boy as well. But all of that said, 222 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: it's kind of amazing as you talk about this, because 223 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: you'll remember, as you and I spoke three and a 224 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: half four years ago, you said, because I said, Riley, 225 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: why don't the girls just not jump in the pool? 226 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: Why don't they just not participate? And you said, well, 227 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: I mean they practiced their whole lives. I get why 228 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: they would want to. The very next time we spoke, 229 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: you said, you know what I've evolved on that they 230 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: shouldn't get in the pool, they shouldn't participate. Is that 231 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 1: the right way? If there are still some factions out there, 232 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: some enclaves of idiots that still want to have fifty 233 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: three year old men compete against thirteen year old girls, 234 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,239 Speaker 1: is the right answer to tell the girls don't participate 235 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: until they understand you're not going to have an activity 236 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: if you don't do what we need. What our needs 237 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: are to feel safe and feel protected and feel like 238 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: we can actually compete. Are you still there where you 239 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: say the girls and women should just not participate if 240 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: they're not going to play by the rules and make 241 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: sure no boys or no men are in. 242 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 2: It's so hard because you're giving these girls an impossible 243 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 2: decision right either sacrifice the sport that you love or 244 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 2: while standing by your values, or play the sport that 245 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 2: you love like you're placing the burden on the backs 246 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 2: of thirteen fourteen fifteen year old girls that should have 247 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 2: never gotten to that point. 248 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 3: But it is. 249 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 2: By far the most effective way to say no, enough 250 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 2: is enough again, I'm not participating in the farce. Some 251 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 2: things matter more than victory, and our safety is one 252 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 2: of them. Reality, truth, biological and objective truth, matters more. 253 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 2: And so it's what I have called now I've dubbed 254 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 2: it as Project Boycott, with emphasis on the word boy 255 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 2: And it's been a priority of mine to make sure 256 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 2: those girls feel supported because a lot of times girls 257 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 2: don't want to do it because they're scared of facing 258 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 2: consequence or repercussions, or being pulled from their team, or 259 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 2: having to sit the bench the next game. We're losing 260 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 2: sponsorships and endorsements, especially at a high level of women's sports, 261 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 2: and so it has been a priority of mine to 262 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 2: make sure I'm there for those girls, whether that's offering 263 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 2: financial backing, which is something that I have done, whether 264 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 2: it's being there at the game. I've flown out to Utah, 265 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 2: I've flown out to Colorado to sit outside of college 266 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 2: volleyball games, to stand beside girls of they as they say, 267 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 2: we're not playing San Jose State University because they've got 268 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 2: a boy on their team, and I've presented them with 269 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 2: Little Boycott medals and shirts and stuff. But again, it's 270 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 2: a way to make them feel validated and supported, because 271 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 2: I think that that's why a lot of people don't 272 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 2: is they feel as if their voice won't make a difference. 273 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 2: I'm here to show those girls that it does, and 274 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 2: we're in desperate need of it. 275 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. I love what you said, because that is a 276 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: balancing act. Like you said, eighteen years you were in 277 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 1: the pool becoming the best of the best. A lot 278 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: of these girls are five, six, ten years in. They've 279 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: practiced every day, They've sacrificed, you know, playtime with friends, 280 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: they've sacrificed by eating a specific diet and doing a 281 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: certain exercise plan, and then at the end to have 282 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: to make a decision should I get in the pool, 283 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: should I go on the field, Should I get in 284 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: that court. It's not fair to ask a thirteen, fifteen, 285 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: eighteen year old girl to make that decision. Are the 286 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: higher is the hierarchy in these organized sports now getting it? 287 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: Are they coming around? I know the UNCAA guy said 288 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 1: what he said in front of Congress, and he sort 289 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: of came around from what you were saying that he 290 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 1: was saying for three or four years ago. Are they 291 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: really buying in that girls and women deserve the protection 292 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: and the safe place that you need to go and compete? 293 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: Are we there yet? Are we almost there? 294 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 2: They knew it from the beginning, so their stances haven't 295 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: necessarily changed, at least privately. I think as it goes organizationally, 296 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 2: we've seen some progress. The NC double A specifically, they're 297 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 2: still total, I mean, spineless, morally bankrupt cowards. 298 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 3: They claim, right. 299 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: Do you know why? I'm sorry, I've got to jump in. 300 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: Have you ever figured out you've been the center of 301 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: the nucleus of this entire thing for four plus years? 302 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: Have you ever figured out in your heart of hearts 303 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: what that f they want? What can they possibly want 304 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: by denigrating women and girls in every sport on the planet. 305 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: I don't get it? Do you get it yet? 306 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 2: I didn't get it for a long time until finally, Actually, 307 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 2: really this was pretty early on they had their NC 308 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 2: DOUBLEA Woman of the Year award, which is the most 309 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 2: prestigious honor for collegiate female athletes. 310 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 3: It's something that encompasses. 311 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 2: Not just your athletic achievement, but your academic success, your 312 00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 2: community service. Each university gets one nominee. I was the 313 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 2: University of Kentucky's nominee across all their women's sports teams, 314 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 2: which we had the number. 315 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 3: One WNBA draft pick. 316 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 2: We have a national championship volleyball team, national championship rifle team, 317 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 2: Abby Steiner, who's breaking world records in track and field, 318 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 2: and they chose me. I was so humbled, so honored 319 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,359 Speaker 2: by this until I saw a full list of NCAA 320 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 2: Women of the Year nominees and it was not exclusive 321 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 2: to just women, because Will Thomas was U Penn's nominee. 322 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,479 Speaker 2: And so I figured I would go to this conference 323 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 2: where they were going to announce the n SOUAA Woman 324 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 2: of the Year, but I was not going to go 325 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 2: and support. 326 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 3: It was a big convention, really, is what it was. 327 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 2: And so all athletic directors and presidents and chancellors of 328 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 2: universities and athletic staff, all kinds of people, the president 329 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 2: of the NCUBA were going to be there, and so 330 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 2: I figured I would show up, and I was going 331 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 2: to buy a booth in the convention hall. And again, 332 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 2: think this was back in twenty twenty two, so just 333 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 2: little O'Reilly. I had no idea what I was doing. 334 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 2: I was going to buy a booth in this convention hall, 335 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 2: and I was going to talk to these athletic directors, 336 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 2: because what better way to speak to people who otherwise 337 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 2: wouldn't speak to you unless you put yourself in front 338 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 2: of them. 339 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 3: So I do that. I apply for this booth. 340 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 2: I attempt to give the NCAA two thousand dollars of 341 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 2: my own money. 342 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 3: They say, no, sorry, we've denied you. I use my name. 343 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 2: Well, I use I had my name when I'd been 344 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 2: outspoken at this point, again not nearly the platform that 345 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 2: I have now. But I then applied for the same 346 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 2: booth with an alias, and they said, of course, we'll 347 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 2: take your money. 348 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 3: So I bought a booth. 349 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 2: I have these little bracelets made, you know, protect Title nine. 350 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 2: I'm passing out to every athletic director, every single person 351 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 2: who walks by, and they're winking at me, saying thank you, 352 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 2: you keep going, you know, winks and whispers and fist bumps. 353 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 2: Suddenly I see the president of the nc double A, 354 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 2: who at the time was Mark Emmert. 355 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 3: Now it's Charlie Baker. 356 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 2: Now Mark Emmert has stepped down largely, I think, because 357 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 2: of this issue. And I see him and we make 358 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 2: eye contact, and then he puts his phone up to 359 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 2: his ear as if he's on the phone, which is 360 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 2: like the. 361 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 3: Oldest trick in the book. I'm like, I've seen that before. 362 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 3: I'm not letting you get off with that. Yeah. 363 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 2: No, totally total blooney. And so I approach him. He 364 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 2: puts his phone down and I say, hey, I'm Riley Gaines. 365 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 2: He says, I know who you are. You keep fighting. 366 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 2: And I said, excuse me, how can you tell me 367 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 2: to keep fighting when you are the one that I'm fighting. 368 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 2: You have to remember just a few weeks before this. 369 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 2: I will never forget. I remember word for word what 370 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 2: his public statement said, because it's so hilarious, like unironically 371 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 2: hilarious to me. Where he said he unequivocally stands by 372 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 2: his decision to allow Leah Thomas to swim with the 373 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 2: women because it's based in evolving science. That's what he 374 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 2: said publicly. Wow, Yet privately he tells me to keep fighting, 375 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 2: And so I say, how can you say that? He says, well, 376 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 2: you know, my hands are tied. I said, who's tying 377 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 2: your hands? You're the president of the incident. He says, well, 378 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 2: we don't want to be sued, and I kid you not, Joe. 379 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 2: I looked at him square in the eyes. I'd never 380 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 2: thought about this before until this moment, and I said, 381 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 2: I'm going to sue you. And that's exactly what I've 382 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 2: done now. I told him right then and there. 383 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 3: And so now he. 384 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: Says, I'm on your side. My hands are tied and 385 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: you said, well, I'm going to sue you. Did that 386 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: wake HI up? Because I don't think that ever came around. 387 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 2: He stepped down. Yeah, and now there is a lawsuit 388 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 2: Gains versus NCAA. 389 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 3: We've just gone into discovery. 390 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 2: We have a lot of incriminating if that's the right 391 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 2: legal word, uh, revelations that we have found that would 392 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 2: make them, I mean responsible for upholding Title nine, which 393 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 2: they failed explicitly that they failed. 394 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: Horribly, but rightly. They could face criminal charges for what 395 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: they put you ladies through in the locker room. I mean, 396 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: I'm a big guy. We've met. If I walk into 397 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: a lady's locker room, that's a crime. If I say, hey, 398 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: I have a wrong locker room by mistake. But if 399 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: I walk in and just undress and ogle or google 400 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: everybody who's getting undressed in front of me, I'm committing 401 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: a crime. Is there anything there? Are you pursuing any 402 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: of that or or you know you went through that. 403 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: And the more important thing is let's make sure we 404 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: have fairness for girls and women and stop this nonsense, 405 00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: because I literally think that was a criminal offense that 406 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: lead to Will Thomas did that day, and that the 407 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: NCAA allowed and pushed. 408 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 2: And what you're describing like that would have I mean 409 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 2: I would have imagined two decades ago, twenty years ago, 410 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 2: every single person in both political parties would have agreed 411 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 2: with you that a man like non consensually undressing and 412 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 2: exposing himself to women who are also simultaneously undressed, like 413 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 2: that's a criminal offense. Like a da would walk in there, 414 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 2: follow you, follow the man and there, pull him out, 415 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 2: throw him in handcuffs. 416 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 3: He'd be in jail. 417 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 2: But now, if we even dared to speak about it, 418 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 2: the women, we were the ones who faced repercussions, not 419 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 2: command again, the six foot four man who who flashed us. Essentially, No, 420 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 2: that's like being applauded as brave and courageous and beautiful 421 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 2: and whatever other stunning, whatever other you know, virtue signaling 422 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 2: words they want to use, totally being misconstrued by the way, right, 423 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 2: we're the ones who the who are the oppressors. He 424 00:19:58,560 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 2: just wants to be happy. 425 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 3: Why can't we just accept that? Why can't we be inclusive? 426 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 3: It's about his life. 427 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 2: He could potentially kill himself if we don't allow him 428 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 2: to violate us, if we don't let our guard down 429 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 2: and feel totally comfortable undressing in. 430 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 3: Front of a man. 431 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 2: It's about his feelings that matters far more than our opportunities, 432 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 2: or our safety or our privacy. 433 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: It's so sick now, it really is. And I do 434 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: think that it's criminal. They were really stupid though in 435 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: how they did it. I'm glad they were stupid. And 436 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: let me explain what I mean. And by the way, 437 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: not stupid is Riley Gaines. Go follow her everywhere at 438 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: Riley Gaines. She's got a brand new program called Oddly 439 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: The Riley Gaines Show.

Had they been smarter, they had they said, Okay, 446 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: Leah Thomas will is gonna swim against you, but she 447 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: he they whatever has their own facility where they can 448 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: get dressed and undressed. Had they been smarter and not 449 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 1: put you guys at risk and made you victims the 450 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: way that they did, might they have gotten away with it? 451 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: Have they said, there's a private dressing room for anybody 452 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: who wants to use it, and this guy always used 453 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: it and you were not put in that sort of 454 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: sexual harassment if not worse, you know situation. Might they 455 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: have gotten away with it? Or you are firm enough 456 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,679 Speaker 1: that this is unfair. It's unfair. What they did in 457 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: the locker room is discussing it is to the next level. 458 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: But even if they would have been smart enough to 459 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 1: give my separate facility, you still would have pursued this. 460 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, because again there is no if you think about 461 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 2: what they're saying in that regard, he's woman enough to 462 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 2: compete with us, but not enough of a woman to 463 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 2: undress with us like that point, that's just totally nonsensical, 464 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 2: Like you're either fully committed to saying he's a woman 465 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 2: or that he's not, which again, I can answer that 466 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 2: for you both from an objective lens, right, yeah, what 467 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 2: is biologically, physiologically, anatomically, chromosomally true. But I think more 468 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 2: importantly for myself at least, answering it from a biblical 469 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 2: lens where He created us male and female intentionally uniquely 470 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 2: in his perfect image. 471 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 3: And how amazing is it that we have a creator 472 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 3: who doesn't make mistakes? 473 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: So so what are you saying he's like fifty percent woman? 474 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 2: That's just a totally nonsensical argument that would have never 475 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 2: been legally withithstanding by any means, and again still violating 476 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 2: Title nine federal law that has been federal law for 477 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 2: more than half a century. At this point, I was 478 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 2: alive when I became federal law. That's old, it is, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. 479 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 2: Because you're getting up there, Joe, hello. 480 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: Duh, Well, Riley, let me take you down this road, 481 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: because again, this whole thing is is. I think it's 482 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: coming to a head, and I think the Supreme Court 483 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: makes the right decision very soon, and I think this 484 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: thing is done. And by the way, Katanji Brown Jackson 485 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 1: should not be on the Supreme Court. If she can't name, 486 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: you know, what a woman is, can't define it. In fact, 487 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 1: even her own liberal counterparts in the Supreme Court on 488 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 1: occasion have had to say, are you looking at the 489 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 1: right case because the ruling that you just made doesn't 490 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: make any sense. So she shouldn't be there anyway. But 491 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: that's not here nor there. But when it comes to 492 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: the end game here, I think President Trump and maybe 493 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: a president in advance or a Rubio or whoever the 494 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: hell is going to be after that, I think that 495 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: you've got an infrastructure in place now to where we're 496 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: saying it's okay to tell the truth about biology, it's 497 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,239 Speaker 1: okay to protect girls and women. If you don't have 498 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: a definition of a girl or a woman as compared 499 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 1: to a male or a man or a boy, that 500 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: you don't need a title nine. I think we're there. 501 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: Do you feel as good as I do that we're 502 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: probably going to win this and we can stop talking 503 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: about this dumb thing that there isn't a difference between 504 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: men and women. 505 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 2: Man, it's hard to say. There are days where I 506 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 2: feel like that. But then you have to think about 507 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 2: the longevity of these issues. First of all, I. 508 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 3: Mentioned President Trump signing executive orders. 509 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 2: That's fantastic, but there's no longevity to that right, those 510 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 2: can be undone just legislationship we're written in. Yeah, we 511 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 2: need Congress to act. We need all fifty states to act. 512 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 2: At this point, twenty seven states have passed some sort 513 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 2: of fairness in women's sports law. 514 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 3: Seventeen states have defined the word woman in law. 515 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 2: Of course, that means what twenty three states don't happen. 516 00:23:58,400 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: Thirty three yeh. 517 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 2: Act in place to preventment in women's sports, and thirty 518 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 2: three don't have laws in place that define the word woman. 519 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 2: That that leaves a lot up for scrutiny and for 520 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 2: their own interpretation. Actually, many states have it totally backwards. 521 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 2: States like I mean, you know, the usual bad actors California, Washington, Oregon, Minnesota, Maine, 522 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 2: where they include in they're protected classes under their state 523 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 2: constitution both sex. 524 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 3: And gender identity. 525 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 2: I'm here to tell you you cannot protect both of 526 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 2: those things at the same time, like they worked in 527 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 2: direct conflict with one another. 528 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 3: So there's still a lot of issues. 529 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 2: Again, I think four years from now or I guess 530 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 2: three years from now, let's say. 531 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 3: That I mean, God forbid. 532 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:48,199 Speaker 2: The Democratic Party's you know, superstar Jasmine Crockett is in 533 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 2: the which is a really yeah, it's a really scary. 534 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 3: I don't know who else they have right now. 535 00:24:54,240 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 2: You've got Gavin Newsom, who knows Governor Basher of Kentucky, and. 536 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: It could all be rolled back if they win. 537 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 2: But no matter who it is, it doesn't matter if 538 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 2: it's Mom, Donnie or Bashir who appears to be moderate. 539 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 2: There is no such thing as a moderate Democrat anymore. 540 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 2: At any sort of elected level, local, state, or federal. 541 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 2: They are all radical. They are all extreme. That has 542 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 2: been proven in their voting records and their unwillingness to 543 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 2: leave their base on any issue. 544 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 3: They are lockstep on every. 545 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 2: Single issue, doesn't matter if it's gender, ideology, parental rights, 546 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 2: border crime, I mean, it does not matter. They are 547 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 2: lockstep with one another. Almost admirable. It would be admirable 548 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 2: if you had no moral compass, it would be an 549 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 2: admirable thing. 550 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 3: But of course I. 551 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 2: Believe you and me and many people on our side, 552 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 2: the side of common sense, we do have a moral compass, 553 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 2: and so we are willing to step out of line. 554 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 2: They're just not because they're evil. They unite behind evil. 555 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 2: So I think to three years from now, let's say 556 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 2: one of them, one of the people I mentioned, is in. 557 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 3: The Oval office. 558 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 2: Then I think we're right back to not even square one, 559 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 2: because square one would be where we were fifty years ago, 560 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 2: three fifty four years ago now when Tittle nine was enacted. 561 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 3: We're actually regressing before that. 562 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: Well, I think you're right. I think you're right. It 563 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: is a scary thought, and I think this is a 564 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: very good reason why people should make sure they vote 565 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: the right way. It's Riley Gaines, go follow wherever the 566 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: Riley Gaines show. You and I have been friends a 567 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: long time, four plus years. I think right after that picture, 568 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 1: I got ahold of you and we had John. We 569 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: didn't meet in person until last year in July, and 570 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 1: it was amazing, by the way, amazing. You were all pregnant, 571 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: met Louis. Everything was great. We high five, we made 572 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: a muscle, we did all that. It was just such 573 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: a joyous, happy occasion. At the TPUSA event in Grapevine, Texas. 574 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 1: Not two months later, our friend Charlie Kirk is gone. 575 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: It shattered all of us, It rocked all of us. Absolutely, 576 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,959 Speaker 1: there's no really other way for me to explain it 577 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: had him on the show six times, knew him since 578 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: he was about eighteen or twenty. The fact that he's 579 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: gone doesn't make any sense. You and everybody there, we 580 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 1: were celebrating, I think, a resurgence and conservatism in a 581 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,479 Speaker 1: value system that we have here in the United States, 582 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 1: and then he's taken out and there's a bit of 583 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: disruption now, a bit of dismay on the right, on 584 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 1: the conservative side first and foremost. I think I texted 585 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: you the day we found out that he was killed, 586 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: and you and I are in the same place where 587 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,199 Speaker 1: we miss him. It's disgusting. It's horrible that somebody being 588 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: assassinated at thirty one for having ideas is dumb. Where 589 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: are you now though, with going to events like that, 590 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: was sitting down and really mixing it up and having 591 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: a dialogue, even if it's an angry dialogue with somebody 592 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: on the far left. Are you still doing that? And 593 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: do you have any comments on what happens now for 594 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: the young conservative movement? Because he was the leader of that, 595 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,679 Speaker 1: like it or not, he was and right now there's. 596 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 2: A void, you know, I think back to It's one 597 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 2: of those moments I don't have many in my life 598 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 2: being twenty five now where you'll never forget where you 599 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 2: were when I heard the news that Charlie Kirk had 600 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 2: been shot, before even knowing that he had been assassinated. 601 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 3: It was one of. 602 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 2: Those you'll never forget where you were moments at shows 603 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 2: inside of a Chick fil A and I got a 604 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 2: phone call. I answered the call, I you know, was 605 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 2: with a friend, and I say, oh my gosh, Charlie's 606 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 2: just been shot. And the person at the table next 607 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 2: to me was like, no way, Like it was a 608 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 2: totally surreal moment. I will never forget that, I think 609 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 2: even still honestly, at that time, there was so much 610 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 2: disbelief in shock to it that it didn't even feel real, 611 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 2: and truthfully, Joe like I still feel a sense of that, 612 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 2: just total disbelief that he's gone, that something like this 613 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 2: can happen in such a great nation that we've seen 614 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 2: people celebrate it, mostly school teachers and healthcare workers and 615 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 2: government employees, which is a really terrifying thought. But upon 616 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 2: you know, in the immediate of learning about this, and 617 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 2: in the weeks following where you find out more information 618 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 2: about what was written on the casings it took me back. 619 00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 2: I mean, I was like thirty eight thirty nine weeks 620 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 2: pregnant about to deliver our beautiful baby girl into this world. 621 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 2: I remember feeling so heavy. I remember thinking to myself, 622 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 2: had I not been as pregnant as I was, I 623 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 2: would have been right there with them. I have been 624 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 2: right there with them. I've sat at the proven me 625 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 2: wrong table with him and understanding that I could have 626 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 2: been killed just as easily as he was because we 627 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 2: shared the same beliefs, just as anyone, just as easy 628 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 2: as anyone. 629 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 3: Who shares our beliefs. 630 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 2: And again the case things where it's a person who's 631 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 2: clearly enthralled with gender ideology and the furry world and 632 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 2: whatever other crazy nonsense that that ensues. Joe, I'm not 633 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 2: proud of it, but like I vowed to myself then 634 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 2: that I would never go back on a college campus again. Right, 635 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 2: thirty nine weeks pay and I'm bringing a life into 636 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 2: this world. She's my priority. People all the time call. 637 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 3: Me courageous or fearless. 638 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 2: Please hear me when I say I'm not fearless, because 639 00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 2: that scares me. Fearless and and being courageous like you 640 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 2: actually can't be both of those things at the same time, 641 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 2: because of course, fearless is having no fears. I do 642 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 2: have fears. That's a terrifying thought to me. Being courageous 643 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 2: is having fears but still doing the thing that you 644 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 2: know to be right. 645 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 3: And true and good and moral. 646 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 2: I wasn't courageous in that moment because I wasn't willing 647 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 2: to do that. But it was me seeing other people, 648 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 2: especially other young people, who were willing to step up 649 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 2: and pick up the mic if you will. That's the 650 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 2: analogy that was being used. And well, bringing your daughter 651 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 2: into the world, that's when I look at her and 652 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 2: it kind of all makes sense, Like, again, that's who 653 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 2: we're protecting. 654 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 3: That's why this is timely. 655 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 2: That's why it's urgent, that's why we there's a moral 656 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,719 Speaker 2: obligation to use the platforms that we've been blessed with. 657 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,239 Speaker 2: And so I mean, I've been on ten or so 658 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 2: campuses now since Charlie's assassination, but I was really really 659 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 2: scared at first. Totally. 660 00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: Well, I don't blame you, because again we went from 661 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: I think the highest high in July and then the 662 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: you know, TPUSA was taken off like crazy. Charlie put 663 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: together something that was unbelievable and almost unrepeatable. But there 664 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: does seem to be some infighting. Do you rise above that? 665 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: I see you as a conservative leader. I see you 666 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: as an American leader. I try to be the same thing. 667 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: But I'm a different generation than you. The younger generation 668 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,959 Speaker 1: now does have a void that's being aptly filled by 669 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: people like you. But like as you said, you're a wife, 670 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: you're a mom, You've got a life outside of that. 671 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: This was Charlie's life. This is what he did. He 672 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: woke up in the morning. It's time to go and 673 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: do this. Is there somebody who's an air apparent? And 674 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: what do you think about it? There is some infighting 675 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: now it's dumb Tucker versus Candace versus Megan versus Nick Fuent. 676 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: Is this idiot? I mean, don't I don't get it. 677 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: Can there be a sort of some voice that convenes us, 678 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: that congeals us, that brings us back together and says 679 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 1: we got to get back on track with this movement 680 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: because this isn't helpful that we're seeing right now. Charlie 681 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't be happy with this. 682 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 2: Well, it's so hard because that person was Charlie. I 683 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 2: think maybe people could witness it from the outside, but 684 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 2: I can say internally, and with having that personal relationship 685 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 2: with Charlie, he was the best coalition builder. 686 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 3: He was the glue. 687 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 2: He was like the connecting fibers of the Conservative Party, 688 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 2: and again they prematurely took that from us, which is debilitating. 689 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 3: I believe. 690 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 2: To speak to this infighting, I'm of two minds. One 691 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 2: is to unite, and we have to unite in order 692 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 2: to win in twenty twenty six and beyond, so that 693 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 2: I believe in one hand. But on the other hand, 694 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 2: I don't even think the people that were that I'm 695 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 2: kind of thinking of uniting here. We don't have the 696 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 2: same foundational beliefs, it seems anymore. I don't want to 697 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 2: unite with that. I don't want to unite with the 698 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 2: Nick Fuinteses of the world. Some of the things that 699 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 2: he said is like, they're horrendous and horrific and just 700 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 2: awful things that I don't want to stand beside. I 701 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 2: think we should call these things out. And so it's 702 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 2: really difficult. You've got people like Candice, who I mean, 703 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 2: I guess is attempting to make it appear as if 704 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 2: she's the only one who asks questions, the only one 705 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 2: who seeks truth and justice, and no one else cares 706 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 2: about Charlie or what is good or what is right, 707 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 2: which is total blowney. I believe honestly she leads like 708 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 2: a cult leader in using verbiage like you know, we 709 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 2: did this, or look at what they're doing to us, 710 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 2: like it's very cultish. 711 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 3: I think we should call that out when we see it. 712 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 2: I don't think anyone wants justice for Charlie more than 713 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 2: Charlie's widow, Eric Kirk. The attacks that have been hurled 714 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 2: her way, it's just really sad. 715 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 3: Again, Erica. 716 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,479 Speaker 2: I've known her, I mean for several years now, and 717 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 2: in knowing her before Charlie's assassination to now understanding that 718 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 2: she is one of the most compassionate and strong and forgiving. 719 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 2: I will never forget being at that memorial and witnessing 720 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 2: what I mean, ten eleven days after his assassination forgive 721 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 2: her husband's killer. I mean, that was one of the 722 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 2: most beautiful and godly displays of forgiveness and strength through 723 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 2: that forgiveness that I've ever seen in my life. That's 724 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 2: a role model that I want to follow. So in 725 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,879 Speaker 2: talking about the future, of the conservative movement. I think, 726 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 2: and I pray desperately that Erica has a place in that, 727 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,359 Speaker 2: and I think she will. She'll continue to lead Turning 728 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 2: Point USA. It will continue to be influential and effective. 729 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 2: Obviously it can't replicate what it was when Charlie was here, 730 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 2: but I think it can and is still good overall 731 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 2: net for gen Z the next generation, and for the 732 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:36,760 Speaker 2: conservative causing for the Kingdom of Christ. 733 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:37,959 Speaker 3: Most importantly, it. 734 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,399 Speaker 1: Is Riley Gains. I think you said it exactly right. 735 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: I don't want to harp on Candace too much. I 736 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 1: know that words just about out of time. Thanks for 737 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: giving me all the time. But let me just say this. 738 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,319 Speaker 1: Not a journalist, she's not investigating anything. She doesn't know 739 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 1: anything that nobody else knows. None of that is true. 740 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: But when you're getting two three million views a day, 741 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 1: you're making ten twenty thirty forty fifty thousand dollars a 742 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 1: day on YouTube, you've got to keep the soap opera going. 743 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: What bothered me from the very on set because I 744 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 1: used to like candas in fact a cute little story. 745 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: Charlie was supposed to be in my show. He couldn't 746 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: make it handed the phone to Candas and had her 747 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 1: call my show, probably six seven years ago. That's the 748 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: only interaction I've had with it. But she was part 749 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: of the team at that point. Since then she was 750 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,919 Speaker 1: out of the team. What bothers me most about her, 751 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 1: and you can comment her not it's up to you, 752 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 1: is why would you attack his family? Why would you 753 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 1: attack his wife who is the mother of his children, 754 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 1: Because if you're attacking the mother of his children, you're 755 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,879 Speaker 1: attacking his children, and you purport to be a friend 756 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: of his. I don't know why she had to add 757 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 1: Erica Kirk to her conspiracy theories, because if you don't 758 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 1: do that, maybe we're going to listen to you. But 759 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 1: once you do that, it tells me you don't care 760 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 1: about what he left behind. You don't care about his legacy, 761 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 1: which tposa is a good legacy, but his children are 762 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 1: his legacy, and he thoughts on that. Why bring her 763 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: into it? 764 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, and not even just bringing Erica into it. Erica 765 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 2: flew out to Nashville to meet with Candas right again, 766 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,359 Speaker 2: like this is a great which I. 767 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: Was against, by the way. I was against that because 768 00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 1: I knew what Candas was going to do with that. 769 00:35:59,360 --> 00:35:59,800 Speaker 1: But go ahead. 770 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 2: My whole thing here is this is a grieving widow, 771 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 2: and say what you want about how she has grieved. 772 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 3: I don't think any of us can put ourselves in 773 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 3: her shoes. And let's it's a situation. 774 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 2: That you have been in which very very few people have, 775 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 2: where you witness your husband be horrifically and graphically murdered, 776 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 2: where it. 777 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:18,840 Speaker 3: Will live on the internet forever. 778 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 2: Right, So, how she has chosen to move on in 779 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:26,439 Speaker 2: advancing the cause that he works so passionately and relentlessly 780 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 2: for his organization, continuing to build there. I just hate 781 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:36,479 Speaker 2: to see how she has attempted to drag Erica down, 782 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 2: and not even as much cand as doing that. It's 783 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 2: her followers too, like the people who listen. 784 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 3: To her show. I just hate it. I hate it. 785 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 2: I hate it for Erica again, this is someone who 786 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 2: is trying to raise two children. Now. She has a 787 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,879 Speaker 2: great team around her. She says that all the time, 788 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,239 Speaker 2: but I mean, she goes to bed every night. 789 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 3: Without her husband. So to insid an wait. 790 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,359 Speaker 2: In some way, shape or form that Erica was was 791 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 2: in the know or implicated is just ridiculous and destructive 792 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 2: and evil. 793 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 3: That's what I think defamatory. 794 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 1: I could not disagree with you, and I think that 795 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 1: she probably should be sue. She's saying things that are 796 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 1: just beyond the pale now and I think a lot 797 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: of that is certainly defamation, libel, slander, whatever. Last question, 798 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 1: let's lighten it up. Do you want Margo to play sports? 799 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 2: Duh, She's gonna play sports. 800 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:29,879 Speaker 3: I'll tell you. 801 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 2: We've seen all the news with President Trump announcing the 802 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:37,040 Speaker 2: Trump Savings accounts, which we are are definitely going to 803 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 2: be setting up Margo one. That way, she's got an 804 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,879 Speaker 2: account for when she goes off to college, but she's 805 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 2: not gonna need it because she's gonna get a D 806 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,040 Speaker 2: one scholarship. 807 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 1: You think she'll be in the pool or it's going 808 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 1: to be up to. 809 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:48,400 Speaker 3: Her, you know. 810 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 2: I'm it's funny. I I kind of before she was here, 811 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 2: I was like, you know, maybe play a different sport, 812 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 2: not swimming.
