1 00:00:11,697 --> 00:00:14,977 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcastle make sure 2 00:00:14,977 --> 00:00:17,977 Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or 3 00:00:18,017 --> 00:00:22,217 Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. W NBA players say that 4 00:00:22,377 --> 00:00:26,297 Speaker 1: they should be paid what they're owed. What are they owed? Well, 5 00:00:26,577 --> 00:00:28,497 Speaker 1: I'm a guy, so maybe I'm not allowed to weigh 6 00:00:28,497 --> 00:00:31,497 Speaker 1: in on this because it's women's athletics. Although I guess 7 00:00:31,537 --> 00:00:33,297 Speaker 1: I could identify as of them, but that's a whole 8 00:00:33,297 --> 00:00:36,817 Speaker 1: other conversation. Let's bring somebody in here who can bring 9 00:00:36,857 --> 00:00:40,377 Speaker 1: a female perspective to this. Uh, and it's somebody who 10 00:00:40,417 --> 00:00:44,697 Speaker 1: also swam at the Division one level. Paula Scanlon is 11 00:00:44,697 --> 00:00:47,017 Speaker 1: with us. She is of the American Principals Project and 12 00:00:47,577 --> 00:00:49,937 Speaker 1: was on the same team where that guy became a 13 00:00:50,177 --> 00:00:52,897 Speaker 1: quote girl and then won the championship and now Trump 14 00:00:52,937 --> 00:00:56,217 Speaker 1: has turned that around. We'll get into that, but first, so, 15 00:00:56,297 --> 00:00:58,697 Speaker 1: what's with the I know you're not a basketball you're 16 00:00:58,857 --> 00:01:01,697 Speaker 1: you're all. You're tall, so maybe you were good at basketball. 17 00:01:01,737 --> 00:01:04,017 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I don't think you played in 18 00:01:04,097 --> 00:01:08,017 Speaker 1: the w NBA to my knowledge, what's with the pay 19 00:01:08,097 --> 00:01:11,657 Speaker 1: us what you owe us? T shirt? As one woman athlete, 20 00:01:11,697 --> 00:01:13,857 Speaker 1: looking at all these women athletes now in the WNBA, 21 00:01:13,937 --> 00:01:14,537 Speaker 1: what's going on? 22 00:01:16,257 --> 00:01:16,497 Speaker 2: You know? 23 00:01:16,737 --> 00:01:19,457 Speaker 3: I wish I could understand what was going on. Obviously, 24 00:01:19,497 --> 00:01:23,337 Speaker 3: Caitlin Clark is a huge star and does deserve awards. 25 00:01:22,817 --> 00:01:24,417 Speaker 2: And honor and money with that. 26 00:01:24,817 --> 00:01:27,377 Speaker 3: But we live in a capitalist society, and if there's 27 00:01:27,417 --> 00:01:30,537 Speaker 3: not viewership in the WBA, there's not money going into 28 00:01:30,537 --> 00:01:34,017 Speaker 3: the WNBA. Players can't be paid more. And from my 29 00:01:34,097 --> 00:01:37,217 Speaker 3: understanding is they're heavily subsidized by the NBA and other 30 00:01:37,297 --> 00:01:39,817 Speaker 3: sports leagues. How can they expect to be paid more. 31 00:01:39,857 --> 00:01:42,657 Speaker 3: If they're paid their fair share, their salaries would actually 32 00:01:42,697 --> 00:01:43,337 Speaker 3: get cut. 33 00:01:43,537 --> 00:01:45,217 Speaker 2: So none of this makes any sense to me. 34 00:01:45,617 --> 00:01:48,737 Speaker 3: And I still don't understand what exactly they were protesting 35 00:01:48,777 --> 00:01:51,337 Speaker 3: in this T shirt wearing situation. 36 00:01:50,937 --> 00:01:51,977 Speaker 2: That was happening the other week. 37 00:01:52,017 --> 00:01:54,297 Speaker 3: And to be honest, I've never watched a single WNBA 38 00:01:54,337 --> 00:01:55,457 Speaker 3: game in my entire life. 39 00:01:55,697 --> 00:01:58,937 Speaker 1: Really really interesting, I haven't either, But I don't know. 40 00:01:58,977 --> 00:02:01,097 Speaker 1: I felt like, maybe you know, girl power, like you 41 00:02:01,137 --> 00:02:04,377 Speaker 1: would decide that you got to watch the female athletes. 42 00:02:04,537 --> 00:02:07,377 Speaker 1: It is. It is funny because now I see I 43 00:02:07,417 --> 00:02:09,857 Speaker 1: don't know, have you ever see this on Twitter x? 44 00:02:10,617 --> 00:02:14,537 Speaker 1: Most of the clips circulating of WNBA like highlight clips 45 00:02:14,577 --> 00:02:19,137 Speaker 1: that you'll see are actually women in the WNBA, like 46 00:02:19,177 --> 00:02:22,097 Speaker 1: shooting the ball off the top of the backboard, or 47 00:02:22,817 --> 00:02:25,177 Speaker 1: you know, missing three layups or four layups in a 48 00:02:25,257 --> 00:02:28,457 Speaker 1: row or stuff like that. So it's it's getting talked 49 00:02:28,497 --> 00:02:30,897 Speaker 1: about more than it has in the past. But somehow 50 00:02:31,697 --> 00:02:36,537 Speaker 1: it has become something of a point of contention among people. 51 00:02:36,577 --> 00:02:39,537 Speaker 1: Right there seems to be some irritation that I don't 52 00:02:39,577 --> 00:02:42,097 Speaker 1: know at the sense of entitlement that these players have, 53 00:02:42,177 --> 00:02:44,337 Speaker 1: but they're supposed to, Like, I know, professional I know 54 00:02:44,417 --> 00:02:48,537 Speaker 1: guys who play professional lacrosse, and I think they make 55 00:02:48,977 --> 00:02:50,697 Speaker 1: you know, most of them have other jobs, so that 56 00:02:50,737 --> 00:02:52,217 Speaker 1: tells you all you need to know. Like they play 57 00:02:52,297 --> 00:02:55,817 Speaker 1: seasonal professional lacrosse and they make almost no money doing 58 00:02:55,817 --> 00:02:57,697 Speaker 1: this very little money, and they don't say, pay us 59 00:02:57,737 --> 00:02:58,457 Speaker 1: what you owe us. 60 00:03:00,377 --> 00:03:01,537 Speaker 2: That's actually so funny. 61 00:03:01,857 --> 00:03:03,417 Speaker 3: I think I know a couple of guys that play 62 00:03:03,457 --> 00:03:06,777 Speaker 3: professional lacrosse as well. I mean that it shows that 63 00:03:06,857 --> 00:03:08,937 Speaker 3: if you want to do your sport, you absolutely should. 64 00:03:08,937 --> 00:03:11,417 Speaker 3: I think women should have an operatnity to have professional leagues. 65 00:03:11,417 --> 00:03:14,337 Speaker 3: I think the WNBA existing is obviously a good thing. 66 00:03:14,897 --> 00:03:18,297 Speaker 3: I'm always here to advocate for women only leagues, but 67 00:03:18,337 --> 00:03:21,097 Speaker 3: that being said, we can't just make money you can 68 00:03:21,217 --> 00:03:23,537 Speaker 3: get free handouts. You can't get free payouts from the 69 00:03:23,537 --> 00:03:26,657 Speaker 3: government for this, And that's exactly what this is, is 70 00:03:26,737 --> 00:03:29,257 Speaker 3: just the liberal mentality that everything needs to be handed 71 00:03:29,377 --> 00:03:32,417 Speaker 3: you for free. Because you want something, someone has to 72 00:03:32,457 --> 00:03:35,857 Speaker 3: give it to you. And unfortunately for the WMA, that's 73 00:03:35,857 --> 00:03:36,937 Speaker 3: not going to happen. 74 00:03:37,017 --> 00:03:39,337 Speaker 2: And it's just so upsetting to see that. 75 00:03:39,377 --> 00:03:41,777 Speaker 3: And they're discouraging other female athletes, and they make female 76 00:03:41,777 --> 00:03:45,777 Speaker 3: athletes look whiny and complainy. Just go in be good athletes, 77 00:03:45,817 --> 00:03:48,537 Speaker 3: become a Caitlin Clerk, become a key player. And many 78 00:03:48,537 --> 00:03:51,817 Speaker 3: of these great WNBA players, like Kitlyn Clerk, like some 79 00:03:51,817 --> 00:03:53,857 Speaker 3: of the other stars, they have a lot of money 80 00:03:53,857 --> 00:03:57,457 Speaker 3: that they make in sponsorships and deals that far outweigh 81 00:03:57,497 --> 00:03:59,697 Speaker 3: any amount that the league could pay them. 82 00:03:59,737 --> 00:04:02,057 Speaker 2: And that's the same thing goes for male athletes as well. 83 00:04:02,137 --> 00:04:04,617 Speaker 3: So I feel like if you're so concerned about your pay, 84 00:04:05,057 --> 00:04:08,057 Speaker 3: either yes, you have to get another job, or you 85 00:04:08,177 --> 00:04:10,017 Speaker 3: have to find sponsorships. And there are a lot of 86 00:04:10,137 --> 00:04:12,257 Speaker 3: places that are willing to sponsor these athletes. It's not 87 00:04:12,297 --> 00:04:15,137 Speaker 3: like they were starving and not able to survive on 88 00:04:15,137 --> 00:04:16,057 Speaker 3: their current salaries. 89 00:04:16,377 --> 00:04:20,697 Speaker 1: So now you you were on the swim team, right, 90 00:04:20,737 --> 00:04:22,617 Speaker 1: the same swim team as Riley Gaines, and the swim 91 00:04:22,657 --> 00:04:27,297 Speaker 1: team that was that became the team with us what's 92 00:04:27,337 --> 00:04:31,857 Speaker 1: the what's his name? Leah Thomas formerly something else Thomas, Right, 93 00:04:32,417 --> 00:04:35,097 Speaker 1: the guy who became the girl who's not really a girl, 94 00:04:35,097 --> 00:04:36,497 Speaker 1: but he's swimming against you guys, and he ends up 95 00:04:36,537 --> 00:04:39,297 Speaker 1: like winning the national championship the whole thing. Trump has 96 00:04:39,377 --> 00:04:40,977 Speaker 1: bring everyone up to speed on this one, because this 97 00:04:41,017 --> 00:04:43,657 Speaker 1: has got to feel like life has come full circle 98 00:04:43,697 --> 00:04:46,297 Speaker 1: and maybe finally justice at some level or it begins 99 00:04:46,297 --> 00:04:48,937 Speaker 1: to be done here. What did Trump do? It looks 100 00:04:49,017 --> 00:04:51,177 Speaker 1: like things have changed with you, penn. 101 00:04:52,657 --> 00:04:53,577 Speaker 2: Yes, exactly that. 102 00:04:53,777 --> 00:04:56,617 Speaker 3: I mean the Trump administration pulled federal funding from the 103 00:04:56,697 --> 00:04:59,697 Speaker 3: University of Pennsylvania for not complying with Title nine. I mean, yeah, 104 00:04:59,817 --> 00:05:01,697 Speaker 3: they led a dude on my women's swim team in 105 00:05:01,697 --> 00:05:06,097 Speaker 3: our locker room eighteen times per week. Insanity, rightfully, so 106 00:05:06,257 --> 00:05:09,257 Speaker 3: they were pulled with federal funding. But the Trump administration 107 00:05:09,417 --> 00:05:11,777 Speaker 3: then said, okay, well, if you're willing to change your policies, 108 00:05:11,817 --> 00:05:14,777 Speaker 3: we can have a conversation. The University of Pennsylvania then 109 00:05:14,777 --> 00:05:18,417 Speaker 3: caved had a discussion with the Trump administration said we 110 00:05:18,497 --> 00:05:20,857 Speaker 3: will comply with titleline. We are going to change our 111 00:05:20,857 --> 00:05:23,777 Speaker 3: policies to properly reflect that. I mean, they should have 112 00:05:23,817 --> 00:05:26,137 Speaker 3: been doing that to begin with, but here we are. 113 00:05:26,697 --> 00:05:29,457 Speaker 3: Another thing is they agreed to change the record boards. 114 00:05:29,617 --> 00:05:32,577 Speaker 3: The University of Pennsylvania no longer has Leah Thomas as 115 00:05:32,617 --> 00:05:34,977 Speaker 3: a record holder on the women's team. And then on 116 00:05:35,017 --> 00:05:37,217 Speaker 3: top of that, they were forced to send us an apology. 117 00:05:37,457 --> 00:05:41,257 Speaker 3: It was not quite an apology that I would deem acceptable, 118 00:05:41,537 --> 00:05:43,737 Speaker 3: but having to do that all together makes them admit 119 00:05:43,817 --> 00:05:45,497 Speaker 3: that they were in the wrong. And so this was 120 00:05:45,537 --> 00:05:48,857 Speaker 3: a great historic win. And honestly, we've never seen anything 121 00:05:48,897 --> 00:05:50,737 Speaker 3: like this. We've never seen any of the universities that 122 00:05:50,737 --> 00:05:53,897 Speaker 3: have put female athletes through this clawback and change their 123 00:05:53,937 --> 00:05:55,897 Speaker 3: mind and do any of this. So it's a great 124 00:05:55,937 --> 00:05:58,217 Speaker 3: first start, but obviously a lot more work needs to 125 00:05:58,217 --> 00:06:01,097 Speaker 3: be done. And there are still universities that are allowing 126 00:06:01,137 --> 00:06:03,017 Speaker 3: men onto their women's sports teams, so we have to 127 00:06:03,057 --> 00:06:03,897 Speaker 3: fight against them as well. 128 00:06:03,937 --> 00:06:06,937 Speaker 1: So this is still happening. There are places that what 129 00:06:07,097 --> 00:06:09,777 Speaker 1: are are they essentially waiting to see if the trumpet 130 00:06:09,777 --> 00:06:13,337 Speaker 1: minute drops the hammer on their athletics program. Or their 131 00:06:13,377 --> 00:06:16,537 Speaker 1: funding for the whole university. Is Trump having to play 132 00:06:16,537 --> 00:06:17,817 Speaker 1: whack them mole with this issue? 133 00:06:18,857 --> 00:06:21,577 Speaker 3: Honestly a little bit. I mean we've seen that, but 134 00:06:21,577 --> 00:06:23,777 Speaker 3: we've also seen other issues. I mean, I know Harvard, 135 00:06:24,177 --> 00:06:27,097 Speaker 3: not necessarily with a transgender issue, although they probably should 136 00:06:27,097 --> 00:06:29,457 Speaker 3: go after Harvard for that as well, because Lea Thomas 137 00:06:29,457 --> 00:06:32,537 Speaker 3: actually holds three records at the Harvard pool as well 138 00:06:32,577 --> 00:06:34,417 Speaker 3: that are still up on the board, and you can 139 00:06:34,457 --> 00:06:37,297 Speaker 3: go over to Cambridge, Massachusetts and see Leah Thomas on 140 00:06:37,297 --> 00:06:38,617 Speaker 3: the women's side of the record board. 141 00:06:38,657 --> 00:06:41,697 Speaker 2: But they've pushed back at the Trump administration. 142 00:06:41,737 --> 00:06:44,617 Speaker 3: They're not willing to negotiate, So it's really dependent on school. 143 00:06:45,137 --> 00:06:45,377 Speaker 2: We know. 144 00:06:45,497 --> 00:06:48,777 Speaker 3: San Jose State also infamously allowed a male athlete on 145 00:06:48,777 --> 00:06:51,497 Speaker 3: their volleyball team. The Trump administration hasn't been able to 146 00:06:51,537 --> 00:06:54,177 Speaker 3: get them to either apologize to their female athletes or 147 00:06:54,497 --> 00:06:56,257 Speaker 3: correct some of the records. I'm not sure how you 148 00:06:56,377 --> 00:06:59,697 Speaker 3: quite do that in volleyball, given that it's a team sport, 149 00:06:59,817 --> 00:07:02,697 Speaker 3: but there is work to be done to apologize to 150 00:07:02,737 --> 00:07:05,897 Speaker 3: the female athletes over forced to enduing this. So again, 151 00:07:05,977 --> 00:07:07,777 Speaker 3: I am grateful for their leadership. I think they've done 152 00:07:07,817 --> 00:07:10,217 Speaker 3: a really, really great job on all of this, but 153 00:07:10,457 --> 00:07:12,057 Speaker 3: there's still a lot of work to be done, and 154 00:07:12,177 --> 00:07:15,617 Speaker 3: unfortunately we weren't able to pass federal legislation, so the 155 00:07:15,617 --> 00:07:18,417 Speaker 3: executive orders and the Trump administration going after them, that's 156 00:07:18,457 --> 00:07:19,657 Speaker 3: really what we're stuck with here. 157 00:07:20,417 --> 00:07:21,817 Speaker 1: Our sponsor is Birch Gold. 158 00:07:22,297 --> 00:07:22,497 Speaker 3: Look. 159 00:07:22,537 --> 00:07:24,177 Speaker 1: We know the Trump administration is doing a lot on 160 00:07:24,217 --> 00:07:26,537 Speaker 1: the economy and that's great and things are starting to 161 00:07:26,577 --> 00:07:29,337 Speaker 1: really cook. But you need to take action yourself based 162 00:07:29,337 --> 00:07:31,457 Speaker 1: on the thirty seven trillion dollars of debt that has 163 00:07:31,497 --> 00:07:34,697 Speaker 1: accrued over decades of mismanagement, fraud, waste and abuse from 164 00:07:34,697 --> 00:07:37,617 Speaker 1: government spending. And that means having some gold. I have 165 00:07:37,657 --> 00:07:40,177 Speaker 1: gold here at home. I've got gold bars, gold coins, 166 00:07:40,457 --> 00:07:44,497 Speaker 1: and Birch Gold Group is who I trust. Birch Gold Group. Look, 167 00:07:44,577 --> 00:07:47,017 Speaker 1: gold has been up about forty percent over the past 168 00:07:47,097 --> 00:07:49,217 Speaker 1: year alone, and central banks from around the world are 169 00:07:49,217 --> 00:07:52,297 Speaker 1: adding to their gold reserves. So gold just makes sense 170 00:07:52,337 --> 00:07:54,377 Speaker 1: and Birch Gold Group makes it very easy for you 171 00:07:54,457 --> 00:07:56,697 Speaker 1: to get gold.

What do you think about the Trump administration 180 00:08:19,257 --> 00:08:21,257 Speaker 1: weighing in on the mascots? 181 00:08:21,457 --> 00:08:21,497 Speaker 3: What? 182 00:08:21,817 --> 00:08:23,697 Speaker 1: I don't have no idea. What is the UPenn mascot? 183 00:08:23,777 --> 00:08:25,657 Speaker 1: It's probably some kind It's like an animal or something, right, 184 00:08:25,697 --> 00:08:28,577 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the safe thing? Is it's the gold? 185 00:08:30,297 --> 00:08:32,217 Speaker 2: The Quakers? Yes? 186 00:08:32,977 --> 00:08:35,977 Speaker 1: How do the How do the Quakers? A peaceful people? 187 00:08:36,417 --> 00:08:39,417 Speaker 1: Usually not what you'd think about as who you would 188 00:08:39,497 --> 00:08:44,697 Speaker 1: name your like ferocious athletic program after after as everyone? So, 189 00:08:44,777 --> 00:08:47,657 Speaker 1: I guess everyone just thinks that one's okay because who cares? 190 00:08:48,617 --> 00:08:50,897 Speaker 3: I mean I think it was because of the Pennsylvania 191 00:08:51,017 --> 00:08:51,777 Speaker 3: was colonized. 192 00:08:51,897 --> 00:08:57,457 Speaker 1: Oh no, I have no idea why. I like, why 193 00:08:57,457 --> 00:08:59,537 Speaker 1: would they choose that as the It just seems like 194 00:08:59,617 --> 00:09:03,417 Speaker 1: such a I don't know. It's like, you know, if 195 00:09:03,417 --> 00:09:05,497 Speaker 1: your mascot was like the Mennonites or something, It's like 196 00:09:05,537 --> 00:09:07,817 Speaker 1: wait a second, like why that's a mascot? I don't know, 197 00:09:07,817 --> 00:09:10,177 Speaker 1: it seems I did not know that upen Is is 198 00:09:10,217 --> 00:09:13,857 Speaker 1: the Quaker, So that's interesting. But you know, the big 199 00:09:13,897 --> 00:09:18,777 Speaker 1: one right now is changing back the Washington Commanders to 200 00:09:18,937 --> 00:09:24,177 Speaker 1: the Redskins, and how this is something that a lot 201 00:09:24,217 --> 00:09:27,177 Speaker 1: of people feel very passionately about. What do you think 202 00:09:27,217 --> 00:09:27,977 Speaker 1: about this debate? 203 00:09:29,217 --> 00:09:31,497 Speaker 2: You know, honestly, I don't really care. I'm going to 204 00:09:31,537 --> 00:09:31,897 Speaker 2: be honest. 205 00:09:31,937 --> 00:09:33,817 Speaker 3: I think that the bigger thing is the reason that 206 00:09:33,857 --> 00:09:36,937 Speaker 3: the Redskins originally had to change their name was because 207 00:09:36,977 --> 00:09:40,737 Speaker 3: of this liberal ideology that's saying everything is racist. I 208 00:09:40,737 --> 00:09:42,897 Speaker 3: mean I saw this firsthand in college, where they were 209 00:09:42,937 --> 00:09:45,697 Speaker 3: tearing statues down if it was a white man that 210 00:09:45,777 --> 00:09:49,337 Speaker 3: had owned slaves somewhere at one point in history, or 211 00:09:49,817 --> 00:09:50,377 Speaker 3: things like that. 212 00:09:50,457 --> 00:09:52,457 Speaker 2: Right, We've seen this mass thing where. 213 00:09:52,297 --> 00:09:55,417 Speaker 3: Anyone who's racist is gone, and that was what was 214 00:09:55,457 --> 00:09:57,577 Speaker 3: going on with a lot of these sports teams and mascots. 215 00:09:57,617 --> 00:10:01,017 Speaker 3: Is anything that was deemed to be racist or insensitive 216 00:10:01,377 --> 00:10:03,537 Speaker 3: or not politically correct needed to be changed. 217 00:10:03,617 --> 00:10:04,817 Speaker 2: I think that the. 218 00:10:04,537 --> 00:10:06,817 Speaker 3: Washington Redskins having their name change was just part of 219 00:10:06,817 --> 00:10:09,977 Speaker 3: that entire conversation. And so I think Trump is just 220 00:10:10,177 --> 00:10:12,857 Speaker 3: fighting back to that, which I think he should. 221 00:10:12,697 --> 00:10:14,857 Speaker 2: But to be fair. I don't really care. 222 00:10:15,017 --> 00:10:17,657 Speaker 3: I that's not my team if it was my If 223 00:10:17,657 --> 00:10:19,297 Speaker 3: it was my team, I probably would care a little 224 00:10:19,337 --> 00:10:21,417 Speaker 3: bit more. But it has no effect really on my 225 00:10:21,537 --> 00:10:24,417 Speaker 3: life personally. And also I thought it was really funny 226 00:10:24,417 --> 00:10:26,897 Speaker 3: when they were the Washington football team for a season 227 00:10:26,977 --> 00:10:29,417 Speaker 3: or two if you remember that, Uh, not. 228 00:10:29,417 --> 00:10:30,417 Speaker 2: A whole devocle was. 229 00:10:30,497 --> 00:10:32,337 Speaker 3: I don't understand why it took them so long to 230 00:10:32,337 --> 00:10:34,657 Speaker 3: even change the name. I think that there's just creating 231 00:10:34,737 --> 00:10:37,697 Speaker 3: drama and it's just a kind of a joke at 232 00:10:37,697 --> 00:10:38,097 Speaker 3: this point. 233 00:10:38,777 --> 00:10:42,057 Speaker 1: Hmmm, yeah, I'm I don't think I anyone expected that 234 00:10:42,057 --> 00:10:43,777 Speaker 1: Trump was going to weigh in on this so heavily 235 00:10:43,817 --> 00:10:46,177 Speaker 1: over the weekend with your tweet. It is funny to 236 00:10:46,217 --> 00:10:49,417 Speaker 1: see some of the old some of the mascots that 237 00:10:49,457 --> 00:10:52,977 Speaker 1: have changed just because also, I mean, you swam against Dartmouth. 238 00:10:52,977 --> 00:10:54,977 Speaker 1: This is one to go from. I think it was 239 00:10:55,017 --> 00:10:59,737 Speaker 1: the Indians right to the Big Green. I don't even know, 240 00:10:59,857 --> 00:11:02,217 Speaker 1: is that like their quadrangle? What is the Big Green? 241 00:11:04,657 --> 00:11:08,497 Speaker 3: I have no idea, but apparently the dartmous mascot is 242 00:11:08,537 --> 00:11:12,137 Speaker 3: also Keggy the Keg or something else their unofficial mascot. 243 00:11:12,457 --> 00:11:14,537 Speaker 3: I was told that by some friends. I had that 244 00:11:14,857 --> 00:11:17,217 Speaker 3: swam at Dartmouth too, and I was like, are we 245 00:11:17,257 --> 00:11:20,817 Speaker 3: being serious? Mascots in general are completely a joke. I mean, 246 00:11:21,337 --> 00:11:23,337 Speaker 3: who picks these? The fact that I had to be 247 00:11:23,377 --> 00:11:27,137 Speaker 3: a Quaker for four years and people would bring Quaker 248 00:11:27,177 --> 00:11:29,497 Speaker 3: oats and say this is our mascot. I mean, truly, 249 00:11:29,697 --> 00:11:31,977 Speaker 3: the entire thing is a joke. But again, I think 250 00:11:31,977 --> 00:11:36,617 Speaker 3: Trump is the master troller. He's always hilarious. I love 251 00:11:36,657 --> 00:11:39,057 Speaker 3: his tweets. I mean, I love him as president. He's 252 00:11:39,057 --> 00:11:41,497 Speaker 3: done wonderful things as president. But I think this man 253 00:11:41,617 --> 00:11:43,777 Speaker 3: also has a wonderful career going for him in comedy 254 00:11:43,817 --> 00:11:45,817 Speaker 3: if he ever chooses to go down that route. So 255 00:11:46,577 --> 00:11:48,537 Speaker 3: I think this is just another example of him doing that. 256 00:11:48,617 --> 00:11:50,337 Speaker 3: And I'm living for the entertainment. 257 00:11:50,457 --> 00:11:51,937 Speaker 1: What do you think is speak of entertainment? What do 258 00:11:52,017 --> 00:11:56,737 Speaker 1: you think of Colbert? Are you a late night TV watcher? 259 00:11:56,777 --> 00:11:58,177 Speaker 1: Did you watch any of these shows? I mean I 260 00:11:58,217 --> 00:12:00,777 Speaker 1: assume you watched Gutfeldt sometimes, but did you ever watch 261 00:12:00,897 --> 00:12:05,377 Speaker 1: like you might be too young for like Leno or 262 00:12:05,657 --> 00:12:07,977 Speaker 1: any of that stuff. But what do you think about 263 00:12:07,977 --> 00:12:09,017 Speaker 1: Colbert getting canceled? 264 00:12:10,297 --> 00:12:12,057 Speaker 3: I mean, I think it sounds like it was a 265 00:12:12,097 --> 00:12:14,617 Speaker 3: financial decision. It had nothing to do with anything else. 266 00:12:14,697 --> 00:12:17,177 Speaker 3: But yet we have people that are melting down calling 267 00:12:17,217 --> 00:12:20,777 Speaker 3: this politically motivated. I think bad ratings are bad ratings. 268 00:12:21,137 --> 00:12:24,177 Speaker 3: We again back to the original conversation about the WNBA. 269 00:12:24,297 --> 00:12:26,337 Speaker 3: We live in a capitalist society, and if your show 270 00:12:26,417 --> 00:12:29,897 Speaker 3: is not producing, then it's not producing. And to be honest, 271 00:12:29,937 --> 00:12:32,577 Speaker 3: I don't think I've met a single person that tells 272 00:12:32,617 --> 00:12:35,977 Speaker 3: me they've watched his show truly, And I talk to 273 00:12:35,977 --> 00:12:37,817 Speaker 3: a lot of my parents' friends that are in a 274 00:12:37,897 --> 00:12:40,537 Speaker 3: generation that are maybe you know, grew up watching that, 275 00:12:40,897 --> 00:12:42,537 Speaker 3: and I have not heard from a single person that 276 00:12:42,617 --> 00:12:44,497 Speaker 3: is truly a fan of his. So it doesn't surprise 277 00:12:44,537 --> 00:12:46,737 Speaker 3: me that his ratings are not there and the money 278 00:12:46,817 --> 00:12:48,577 Speaker 3: coming in for the show isn't there either. 279 00:12:49,417 --> 00:12:50,777 Speaker 1: So what are you focused on these days? At the 280 00:12:50,817 --> 00:12:54,697 Speaker 1: American Principles Project, We are working. 281 00:12:54,817 --> 00:12:57,897 Speaker 3: To really defend family rights and obviously the women's sports 282 00:12:57,897 --> 00:13:00,417 Speaker 3: issue is a big one, but also transgender ideology. 283 00:13:00,417 --> 00:13:02,577 Speaker 2: I think we have a lot of work to be done. 284 00:13:03,417 --> 00:13:05,497 Speaker 3: The Trump administration has been a great partner on all 285 00:13:05,537 --> 00:13:08,457 Speaker 3: of these things, but we've been working to just again 286 00:13:08,537 --> 00:13:10,417 Speaker 3: continue to defend women in sea sports. 287 00:13:10,777 --> 00:13:12,937 Speaker 2: Obviously because we don't have federal legislation. 288 00:13:13,337 --> 00:13:16,457 Speaker 3: A lot of these states are still allowing men to 289 00:13:16,457 --> 00:13:18,537 Speaker 3: compete in women's sports and putting girls in danger, but 290 00:13:18,577 --> 00:13:21,417 Speaker 3: also not even just sports, but also in bathrooms and 291 00:13:21,417 --> 00:13:24,257 Speaker 3: locker rooms, and so we're staying vigilant on the fight. 292 00:13:24,977 --> 00:13:26,497 Speaker 2: We've made great progress. 293 00:13:26,097 --> 00:13:28,097 Speaker 3: Again, and I think the culture's really shifted on that, 294 00:13:28,177 --> 00:13:32,217 Speaker 3: but unfortunately, until it's completely done and never happening again, 295 00:13:32,337 --> 00:13:34,257 Speaker 3: there are people that still have to stand up for it. 296 00:13:34,377 --> 00:13:36,537 Speaker 3: So I've been grateful to be part of doing that, 297 00:13:36,817 --> 00:13:39,337 Speaker 3: and I'm grateful for the people that have joined us 298 00:13:39,377 --> 00:13:42,097 Speaker 3: on this journey, and again so much support culturally on 299 00:13:42,137 --> 00:13:42,857 Speaker 3: this issue. 300 00:13:43,017 --> 00:13:45,137 Speaker 2: Men don't belong in women's sports. It's really that simple. 301 00:13:46,297 --> 00:13:50,497 Speaker 1: Couldn't agree more with that. Our sponsor here is Paradigm Press. 302 00:13:50,577 --> 00:13:51,897 Speaker 1: You know, there's somebody who's really in the know, a 303 00:13:51,937 --> 00:13:55,497 Speaker 1: former presidential advisor, who says there's a big plan that 304 00:13:55,537 --> 00:13:57,417 Speaker 1: you need to be aware of. He says, President Trump's 305 00:13:57,417 --> 00:13:59,617 Speaker 1: about to unleash a one hundred and fifty trillion dollars 306 00:13:59,657 --> 00:14:02,977 Speaker 1: state owned asset. This could trigger an economic boom not 307 00:14:03,017 --> 00:14:05,297 Speaker 1: seen in a century and could send a small sector 308 00:14:05,337 --> 00:14:07,857 Speaker 1: of the market skyrocketing. He wants you to act quickly 309 00:14:07,857 --> 00:14:11,177 Speaker 1: on this before the word gets out and Trump moves fast. 310 00:14:11,577 --> 00:14:14,377 Speaker 1: The opportunity could vanish once everybody figures out what's coming. 311 00:14:14,737 --> 00:14:17,497 Speaker 1: This is from Jim Rickards, former presidential advisor, a guy 312 00:14:17,537 --> 00:14:19,737 Speaker 1: with a lot of insight into the markets. Go check 313 00:14:19,737 --> 00:14:23,217 Speaker 1: out Jim's interview at birthright twenty twenty five dot com. 314 00:14:23,257 --> 00:14:26,537 Speaker 1: That's birthright twenty twenty five dot com, paid for by 315 00:14:26,537 --> 00:14:29,617 Speaker 1: Paradigm Press.
