The fact that you can't give me 21 00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 3: a straight answer about something as fundamental as what a 22 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 3: woman is underscores the dangers of the kind of progressive 23 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 3: education that we are hearing about. 24 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: Joining us now to discuss and debate, we have Riley 25 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: Gaines's back with us. Twelve time All American swimmer with 26 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 1: five SEC titles was a successful, very successful swimmer at 27 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: the University of Kentucky with ambitions to pursue a dental degree. 28 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: That postgraduate ambition and her entire life change when she 29 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: was forced to share a locker room and compete against 30 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: the biological man that was Leah Thomas. They actually had 31 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: a tie in that race, a direct tie, but they 32 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: decided to give the quote win to Leah Thomas. 33 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 2: I can't believe it. 34 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: Her story is unbelievable, but it's changed the trajectory of 35 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: her life. She's been doing an amazing job. She's now 36 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: with Fox, she's a colleague of ours, and we're always 37 00:01:58,720 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: honored to have her. 38 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 2: Riley, how are you good to talk to you again? 39 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 6: Gosh, I'm great on Thank you so much for having 40 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 6: me on. 41 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 2: I was so embarrassed. 42 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: We were at the Patriot Awards and I turn around 43 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: and I don't think I had my glasses on. People 44 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: don't know that I can't hear and I can't see 45 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: in all seriousness, and I finally got a chance to 46 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: meet you and tell you what a great job that 47 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: you have done, and what courage you have shown under 48 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: tremendous fire, and as a relatively young woman, the courage 49 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: you have shown is inspiring. And you know, I'm sure 50 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: your family is very proud of you, and your life 51 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: has now taken on a whole new purpose as a 52 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: result of this. Let's talk a little bit about your life. 53 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 6: No, you're exactly right. This is never something I felt 54 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 6: prepared for. I mean, I would imagine it's a position 55 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 6: no one would feel prepared for, because who would have 56 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 6: ever even imagined that we would be having this conversation. 57 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 6: I really it's kind of funny to me. It's comical 58 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 6: when I think about it, because, you know, you gain 59 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 6: credibility and notoriety and a platform with millions of followers 60 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 6: for simply saying something so basic, really something that everyone knows. 61 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 6: I mean, if you took fifth grade science or anything higher, 62 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 6: you know, and it's that men and women are different. 63 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 6: And again for simply saying that, you know, it's it's 64 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 6: pretty unfathomable to me, the twenty three year old recent 65 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 6: graduate swimmer college swimmer has to go to DC, go 66 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 6: to Capitol Hill, sit in front of Congress and explain 67 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 6: to them that men and women are different, and then 68 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 6: to sit on the other side of that and have 69 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 6: them be confused by this explanation. It's pretty objectively funny. 70 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: Well, let me let me tell you where I am 71 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: on all this and by the way, you would I 72 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,839 Speaker 1: believe it was you that tweeted out or retweeted it's 73 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: something about apparently men took the top two potium spots 74 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: in the women's single speed category at the Illinois State 75 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: I guess they call it a cycle cross championship. I 76 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: don't know what they call it. I'm not familiar with 77 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: the sport, to be very honest with you. And anyway, 78 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: so you had two biological men racing and winning the 79 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: top two podium spots, and I'm sorry, as a father 80 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: of kids that were athletic, that just is fundamentally unfair. 81 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: And I really look at your case as a great 82 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: case in point. I don't think people understand what it 83 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: took for you to become a twelve time All American swimmer. 84 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: I don't think people understand what it means that you 85 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: had five sec titles you started. I think he's told 86 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: me once you started when you were four years old. 87 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, you're exactly right, And it's an important point to 88 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 6: bring up because I mean the amount of time, the dedication, 89 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 6: the sacrifices that you have to make to be willing 90 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 6: to compete and ultimately be successful at the highest level. 91 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 6: I mean, it's impossible to put into wards. It is 92 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 6: a lifelong journey. Speaking to even just the collegiate level, 93 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 6: I mean, Sean, we were prob to think, six hours 94 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 6: in the water every single day, swimming upwards of fifteen 95 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,559 Speaker 6: thousand yard ten miles every single day, and there's no break. 96 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 6: You know, you're there all summer, y're at school, you're 97 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 6: there over Christmas break, you're there over Thanksgiving. You don't 98 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 6: get to come home. We got one week off in 99 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 6: August each year, but other than that, we were in 100 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 6: the water six hours every day. So the commitment, I 101 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 6: mean answered. 102 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: Well, well, from what age were you in the water six 103 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: hours a day? I mean, if I'm in the water 104 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: more than like twenty minutes, which I don't swim very often, 105 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: I'm like a prune after like twenty minutes. 106 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 6: So that was during college, but even of course before that, 107 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 6: you know, you're training four hours a day. You're in 108 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 6: a cold pool at five in the morning, you go 109 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 6: to school, you come back, you're in a cold pool 110 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 6: again from you know, whatever time that might be, four 111 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 6: to six pm. You go home, you do your homework, 112 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 6: you eat your dinner, ice your shoulder, go to bed, 113 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 6: wake up, do it all again the next day. 114 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: It's just, you know, I'll actually quote Caitlyn Jenner. Now, 115 00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: I've known Caitlin for many, many, many years, and I 116 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: I remember when Caitlyn did the interview with Diane Sawyer. 117 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: I was talking about it the next day and I 118 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: was discussing how I knew Caitlyn when Caitlyn was Bruce 119 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: Jenner and one of the greatest Olympian athletes of all time. 120 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: And we had a long friendly discussion. We'd always had 121 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: a very friendly relationship. We still do to this day. 122 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: We just had a real conversation. I said, Caitlyn, if 123 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: I call you Bruce, you're gonna yell at me. And 124 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: you know, she started laughing, I mean with a sense 125 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: of humor. Then tells me a story about the funniest 126 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 1: moment with the interview with Diane Sawyer was Sean, you're 127 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: gonna love this, I said, but he goes, Guess what 128 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: shocked Diane Sawyer the most? I said, this whole issue 129 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: shocked her the most. 130 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 2: I don't know what. 131 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 5: No. 132 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: When I told her I was a conservative Republican, I 133 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: thought she was going to have a heart attack. 134 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 2: Pretty funny story, but what Caitlyn says. 135 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: Now, Caitlyn happens to be a great golfer, she can 136 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: drive the ball like two hundred and eighty five ninety yards. 137 00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 2: Amazing athlete. 138 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: But she said, it doesn't matter what the testosterone levels 139 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: are at eighteen nineteen or at the collegiate level. I 140 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: want to know what the testosterol levels were at puberty, 141 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: because that's where the biological difference is so dramatic. And 142 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: I thought that was a very interesting take and is 143 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: very adamant and agrees with you completely that transgender people 144 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: that are born biologically male should not be playing in 145 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: women's sports, and has actually taken a lot of heat 146 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: from quote the trans community for that. 147 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 2: What is your reaction to that, Well, I'll. 148 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 6: Just say Caitlin has been a phenomenal ally in this fight, 149 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 6: you know, being someone like you said, who of course, 150 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 6: is one of the most incredible athletes of all time, 151 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 6: not even just of his generation, I mean of all time, 152 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 6: and again understanding the struggle that comes with gender dysphoria, 153 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 6: yet still willing to think independently and go against the grain. 154 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 6: I'll say, which actually I don't even think really goes 155 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 6: against the grain, because based off conversations I've had with 156 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 6: people in the LGBTQ community. I mean, yesterday I sat 157 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 6: next to on the plane a man who said his 158 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 6: son had transitioned to now becoming his daughter. And he said, 159 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 6: even his son, well, now his daughter agrees that this 160 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 6: is wrong, you know, being someone who's male now identifying 161 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,239 Speaker 6: as a woman. Said look, you know, my now daughter 162 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 6: just wants to live her best life, but she can 163 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 6: agree that allowing men into women's sports is fundamentally unfair. 164 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 6: And that's the whole basis of the argument. Right, We're 165 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 6: often deemed and this is what I heard in Congress 166 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 6: again last week testifying, you know, we're deemed transphobic or 167 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 6: bigoted or hateful. But it's like, look, there's no hate 168 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 6: in my heart.

I would continue now with Riley Gaines. 225 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: The thing is, and it doesn't mean that one sex 226 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: is better than the other sex. You know, I would argue, 227 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: and I'm not even sure how deep I want to 228 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 1: go into this, because I'm about to go on vacation 229 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: and I don't want to really spend the next ten 230 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: days having a deal with crap from the left wing 231 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: mob media of what I'm saying here, but I do 232 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: believe that, you know, stating the obvious that there are 233 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: big differences between men and women should not be controversial, 234 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: and one of those differences happens to be Now. 235 00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 2: My producers are laughing. 236 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: Because they're like, you know, you want a peaceful vacation. 237 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I do. I'm being honest. 238 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: I don't want to deal with, you know, this left 239 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: wing radical crap over vacation. I can deal with the 240 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: rest of the year, which I have to deal with 241 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: almost every day. But anyway, I digress, Riley, I apologize. 242 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: But the reality is is there are physical differences. It's 243 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: just a fact. What Caitlin was stating is true. And 244 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: men are physically, generally, generally i'm speaking, physically stronger than women. 245 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: That's just a biological fact. Now, there are some very 246 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: strong women that are much stronger than I am. And 247 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 1: I consider myself fairly athletic. I do mixed martial arts. 248 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: I train every day, and you know, I think for 249 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: an old guy, I'm doing okay. So but when you 250 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: say that, you know, it makes liberals' heads explode, just 251 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: by stating a simple truth like that, generally speaking, men 252 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 1: are physically stronger than women, and they and when you 253 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: have tried to speak or out on college campuses and 254 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: just give your views, you know you've experienced, you know, 255 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: all sorts of backlash, including threats of violence against you. 256 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. 257 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 6: No, you're exactly right. Even recently, my address got leap 258 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 6: and I've had yes and it was actually a conservative 259 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 6: who released my address. But anyways, I've had people showing 260 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 6: up at my house. I've had drones flying above my house. 261 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 6: As you said, especially on college campuses, which is seems 262 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 6: to be a breeding ground for this vitriol. And I 263 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 6: would say contempt for women. I mean, I've been spit on, 264 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 6: I've had glass bottles sort of me, drinks port on me. 265 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 6: I've been punched by men who were wearing dresses, which 266 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 6: fortunately for me, their punches don't hurt that bad. But 267 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 6: I've been held for ransom. I mean it's you know 268 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 6: first who. 269 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 2: You've been held for ransom? 270 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 6: Yeah? 271 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 2: Yeah? 272 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 5: And them what. 273 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 6: Happened, Well, I was there to deliver a speech very 274 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 6: I mean, of course, the same premise, same message of 275 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 6: what I'm here talking to you about Sean, And upon 276 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 6: doing that, I was met with protests, naturally, which is standard, 277 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,959 Speaker 6: you know, and that's their right. They have every right 278 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 6: to protest me. But after I was I had finished 279 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 6: my speech, protesters rushed into the room and they turned 280 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 6: off the lights to the room, ambushed me at the front. 281 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 6: That's where I was ultimately punched and assaulted, and then 282 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 6: they locked me in a room for four hours, demanding 283 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 6: that if I wanted to make it home to see 284 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 6: my family safely again, I had to pay them money. 285 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 6: If I wanted to leave what happened, Well, the police 286 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 6: were present, they were in the room with me, but 287 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 6: again this is Francisco, so they were also being held 288 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 6: for ransom. 289 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm looking at well, you're you're in 290 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: a locked room being held they're holding you hostage for ransom, 291 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: and you have two police officers in the room with you, 292 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: and they couldn't get enough help for four hours to 293 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: get you out of that very dangerous, volatile situation. 294 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? 295 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 5: No? 296 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 6: And really it was like six or eight or so 297 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 6: officers in the room. And when I'm asking them, like 298 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 6: can't you do something? 299 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 2: They told me what were they armed? 300 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 6: They were, but they said they weren't allowed to do 301 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 6: anything or else they could lose their jobs because they're 302 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 6: not allowed to be seen as anything other than an 303 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 6: ally to that community. But keep in mind, this is 304 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 6: the same community who on the other side of that 305 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 6: door that basically became our prison for four hours. This 306 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 6: is the same community who are calling these officers racist 307 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 6: pigs for protecting a white girl like me, and on 308 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 6: and on again.

This year, tragically enough though, you know, 402 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 5: we lost Gary Rossington. 403 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 2: I know I loved him. It was awesome and. 404 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 5: That really really just hit all of us, especially of 405 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 5: course the family. But Johnny and I, it hit us 406 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 5: really hard. I haven't quite settled with it yet, but 407 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 5: I'm getting there. And you know what, man his wishes 408 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 5: was to keep the music alive, to keep it going. 409 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 5: Johnny and I spoke quite a few times on the phone. 410 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 5: We didn't know, should we do this, should we not 411 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 5: do it? And then the outcry of the fans came 412 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 5: in existence over you know, Facebook, and over you know 413 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 5: emails and over all the platforms. Please don't let this 414 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 5: be the end of it. And so we decided we 415 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 5: got it all together. We got a great guitar player 416 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 5: the name of Damon Johnson that that played had had 417 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 5: his own band back in the nineties called Brother Kane. 418 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 5: But he played with Finn, Lizzie and Alice Cooper and 419 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 5: a bunch of people like that. He's an Alabama boy. 420 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 5: He stepped in, Gary gave him his blessings, and you 421 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 5: know what, we continued on and the band is firing 422 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 5: on all cylinders right now.

The guy doesn't stop 483 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 1: moving for an entire shows. It's pretty pretty spectacular. 484 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 5: They've always been one of our I mean, honestly, they've 485 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 5: been one of my greatest and favorite bands ever. Yeah, 486 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 5: I love those guys, and listen, my admiration for those 487 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 5: guys still getting out there and still doing this is 488 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 5: just I'm amazed. And my admiration for him is over 489 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 5: the top. It really is. 490 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: You know What's interesting, because I mean honestly, you come 491 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: from a genre that we'd call, say, Southern rock, and 492 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: that would be the all meanbra that would be Charlie Daniels, 493 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: that would be Marshall Tucker, that would be Leonard skinnerd 494 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: And it's interesting the influence that the that blues had 495 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: on these stones, isn't it. I mean, very very heavy influence. 496 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, big time. You know over in England, you know, 497 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 5: the blues artists from over here could never really make 498 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 5: a great living, but when they would go to England, 499 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 5: they would do incredible because the blues was so well 500 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 5: loved over in England and other parts of Europe. So 501 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 5: if you look at the stones, look at led Zeppelin. 502 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 5: Led Zeppelin another one that just loved the blues. 503 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 3: Well. 504 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 5: I was raised in a blues environment with my granddaddy Shorty, 505 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 5: and that's where I was reared, between the blues and 506 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 5: bluegrass country, all that kind of stuff. And so was Ronnie, 507 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 5: so was Gary, was Alan, so was Johnny. I mean, 508 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 5: we were all raised in that kind of environment and 509 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 5: that's where we got our roots from. 510 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: I kind of got a kick out of it when 511 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: I saw Johnny in the early years before me. He 512 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: didn't even have shoes on stage. You crack me up, 513 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: let me I hate to do this, and you can 514 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: actually push back and tell me to go pound sand. 515 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: But one of the things that we always connected on 516 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: too is your interest in what's going on in the 517 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: world and politics and the issues of the day. And 518 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: you know, I'm just wondering where's your head at today, 519 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 1: because I don't think things have been this screwed up 520 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: my entire career. 521 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 5: Well, to be honest with you, Sean, I'm so involved 522 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 5: in getting this band back out on the road and 523 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 5: doing my own life, Like you know, I really don't 524 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 5: want to get this.
