1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: But I do feel like the general public they're waking 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: up to those parents' dads, moms. They don't want to 3 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,039 Speaker 1: see their daughters lose out on opportunities and be forced 4 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: to undress in front of someone of the opposite sex 5 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: and their locker room. So I do think tides are turning. 6 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,600 Speaker 1: There have been some sports governing bodies who have done 7 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: some good things World Athletics, FENA, So I'm appreciating the 8 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: little steps, but I do believe the battle is nowhere 9 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: near being one. 10 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 2: That's Charlie Gaines, who had to swim against a dude 11 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 2: in college, and she has become a big activist on 12 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 2: this whole transport issue. She was standing behind University of 13 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 2: Nevado Reno women's volleyball players on Saturday when they had 14 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 2: to hold a press conference to basically shame or force 15 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 2: their university into forfeiting because the university said, Nope, we're 16 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 2: going to play, and the players were like, what, you 17 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 2: don't get to decide for us. We're not going to 18 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,959 Speaker 2: get to play against the dude who plays on San 19 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 2: Jose State. And it's become kind of a game for 20 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: me since we started talking about this. I really enjoy 21 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 2: this game of when you follow a mainstream news story 22 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 2: about San Jose San Jose State women's volleyball whether they 23 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,279 Speaker 2: ever mentioned what the issue is. News sources have started 24 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 2: to decide they need to cover it all the forfeits, 25 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 2: but they never mentioned why in any mainstream news story, 26 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 2: which is weird, weird, cowardly, dishonest. 27 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 3: So Riley Gaines is a co signer of a letter 28 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 3: with Jim Desmond, who is the supervisor fifth District of 29 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,839 Speaker 3: San Diego County's Board of Supervisors, to San Diego State 30 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 3: University because they are going to be playing San Jose 31 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 3: State and their women's volleyball team that features a dude. 32 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 4: Soon, Jim, how are you, sir? 33 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 5: Thanks for joining us, Hey, thanks for having me this morning. 34 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 5: Thanks for bringing this up. 35 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 2: So, of course, why do you hate?

It's crazy to have you know, men competing 41 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 5: in women's sports, and it only hurts the women, you know, 42 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 5: by them not being able to get scholarships or get 43 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 5: you know, get get the merits. And awards that they 44 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 5: want or deserve, and these men are getting into these 45 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 5: sports and taking it over.

And you know, like she had said earlier, 50 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 5: Riley that hopefully the tide is turning. 51 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 3: There are hundreds of medals, championships, scholarships that have been 52 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 3: won by dudes who say I'm a girl now and 53 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 3: have denied the female athletes those those accolades and those opportunities. 54 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 4: That is absolutely bizarre and obscene. 55 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 3: What's the San Diego State's current stance as far as 56 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 3: you can tell him, Well, we're playing San Jose State 57 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 3: and their guy. 58 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, well so far radio silence out of San 59 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 5: Diego State, and unfortunately, you know, I have a hunch, 60 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 5: being another California school, they may go ahead with it. 61 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 5: But haven't heard anything yet. Yeah, we haven't heard anything 62 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 5: yet from them, but we're hoping, you know, November ninth 63 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 5: is you know, after the election, hellelujah, but you know, 64 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 5: hopefully we'll get some traction, and maybe some of the 65 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 5: teammates are will say, hey, we just don't want to 66 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 5: compete against this, and I'm glad five teams has already 67 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 5: you know, shut down and not agreed to play San 68 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 5: Jose State. 69 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, quite a few teams. Quite a few teams 70 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 2: have forfeited. But some of the teams have said why. 71 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 2: But a number of the teams, way too many of 72 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 2: them don't say out loud why they're forfeiting, which I 73 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 2: find troubling. 74 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, Jim correct me if I'm wrong. Some 75 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 3: of them, some of the administrators are actually fearing running 76 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 3: a foul of their progressive states laws on protecting transgender people. 77 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 5: Well, absolutely, and that hence California, you know, doing that. 78 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 5: But I do think, you know, both sides of the 79 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 5: aisle people think this is crazy and outrageous and shouldn't 80 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 5: be taking place. And can't you know, even believe why 81 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 5: we're having to have this conversation. There's you know, anytime 82 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 5: there's a physical competition, men are just more physically capable 83 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 5: than women, but you know, each in their own different ways, 84 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 5: and those sports should be protected. 85 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 3: It's worth saluting some of the really courageous people in 86 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 3: this controversy, including the women, the young women who stood 87 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 3: up and said we're not playing this game. Brooks Slusser, 88 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 3: who actually plays for San Jose State, has joined the 89 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 3: lawsuit including eighteen women athletes, including Rigley Gaines. Gains versus 90 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 3: NC Double A is filed in the Federal Court in 91 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 3: the Northern District of Georgia and March alleging the NC 92 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 3: double A rules on transgender women violate their Title nine rights. 93 00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 4: This is heading for the Supreme Court and I can 94 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 4: not wait. 95 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad Joe brought up the laws because I 96 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 2: thought it was just cowardice on the part of these 97 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 2: various schools that wouldn't say why they forfeited. But depending 98 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 2: on where you live, there are laws protecting things you 99 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 2: say about transgender athletes or discriminating. I mean, if you 100 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 2: announced out loud, we're quitting because you got a dude 101 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 2: on your team, you'd be in violation of the law. 102 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 3: So that's a problem. Right, Elections have consequences. Hey, I 103 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 3: have one more note on this topic. Jim as a 104 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 3: former girls coach, I can't shut up about this, and 105 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 3: I won't shut up about this ever. But there was 106 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 3: a hit piece in the San Francisco Chronicle bashing miss 107 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 3: Lusser who he just mentioned Brooks Slusser written by one 108 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 3: Marissa in Gemmi, who's a sportswriter who doesn't appear to 109 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 3: have ever played sports, which is not necessary to be 110 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 3: a sports writer at all. You might just be a 111 00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 3: big fan and knowledgeable. But she is unquestionably a lgbt 112 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 3: Q plus minus over the power of three activists and 113 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 3: and is bashing a young woman who has the courage 114 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 3: to say it's women's sports. I'm not playing against a dude. 115 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 3: Shame on you, Marissa, Shame on you, San Francisco Chronicle. Anyway, 116 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 3: Jim Desmond of the San Diego County Bord of Supervisors 117 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 3: is on the line.

Well look 122 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 2: at that, he laughs. 123 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 4: You're incouraging. 124 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 3: You're that's a that's a really funny joke. Uh So, anyway, 125 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 3: we've we've talked to you, Jim about a lot of 126 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 3: immigration related topics because and it gets less publicity for 127 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 3: some reason than Texas, probably because Gavin Newsom is a 128 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 3: deep blue governor and pretends illegal immigration isn't a troublesome thing. 129 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 3: But San Diego is an epicenter of illegal immigration. What's 130 00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 3: going on on that front in your world? 131 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 5: Well, we are back up above capacity for the number 132 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 5: of people coming across the San Diego section of the border, 133 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 5: and so we are beyond capacity. And we were actually 134 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 5: told in San Diego County about a week ago that 135 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,679 Speaker 5: they were going to start the street drop offs again. 136 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 5: They stopped the street drop offs in June of this year. 137 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 5: Went from September of last year's so June of this year, 138 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 5: it was about one hundred and fifty five thousand people 139 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 5: they dropped in our streets in June. Because of Biden's 140 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 5: executive order, they cut back on that. But now we're 141 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 5: back up beyond capacity. And so what's happening now Instead 142 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 5: of doing the street dropoffs, they are shipping migrants to Yuma, Arizona, 143 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 5: about three bus loads a day and about one flight 144 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 5: a day to various points in Texas to Lazo. 145 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 3: They just drop them off and essentially say to these 146 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 3: cities and towns you deal with them. 147 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 2: Well, it's not good on anyway. I've spent a fair 148 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 2: amount of time in Uma traveling. I get off the bus, 149 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 2: have thanks. What am I supposed to do here? 150 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 5: I would imagine there's a lot of non you know, 151 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 5: non government organizations and people that help them get on 152 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,239 Speaker 5: their way or travel to wherever it is they're going. 153 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 5: But the optics, which is I really think the reason 154 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 5: they didn't start to drip of street drop offs again 155 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 5: is the optics two weeks before an election, you know, 156 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 5: would have been terrible. And so what they're doing instead 157 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 5: of you know, dropping them on the streets, which quite 158 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 5: frankly we don't really want, but they're shipping them out quietly. 159 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 5: And so we were able to find this out from 160 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 5: our local Border patrol agents and telling us and actually, 161 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 5: you know, we got pictures of the boarding airplanes.
