Speaker 1 (00:00):
President saying to parents out there who have daughters, say
from high school, for example, or worried that their daughter
may have to compete against to play mail, they play
a person born male and there could be directly in
physically athletic competition, and worry about their daughter's safety.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
What you're alluding to is basically saying that transgender kids
are dangerous. That is dangerous. That is a dangerous thing
to say that. Essentially transgender kids we're talking about are dangerous.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Because all fourteen year old daughter to have to see
a penis in the locker room or get the hell
beat out of her, or just beaten out of a
medal or a state record or.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
The chance to go to the regional meet. That you're
saying trans people, these are children are dangerous. The message
is that they're dangerous, and that trans people are dangerous. Yeah,
there's a reason you repeated the same phrase three times,
because that's all you got. Riley Gains, the former collegiate
women's swimmer who's been hot to trot for making sure
(01:03):
men aren't allowed to participate in compete in women's sports, said,
and this is a great point. This message, the message
this sends to all women is that our safety doesn't matter,
nor does our privacy, our fairness, our equal opportunities, or
our dignity. The misogyny is slapping us across the face.
And it hadn't really occurred to me till I read
(01:24):
that statement from Riley Gaines that these are men coming
into women's sports and saying, shut up, we're participating or
we're competing and we're gonna beat you, and you ladies
need to shut the hell up. That is misogyny.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yeah, I know, I don't understand this story. Where are
the feminists on this? Don't get it? Well, everybody's scared
because the media is in you in total conformity on this.
It would be easy to be led to believe. Wow,
I don't know if I like this whole though, everything
in the direction everything's going with trans, but clearly everybody
(01:59):
else was in agreement. There must be something wrong with me.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
More simply, I'm afraid to say anything. Right.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
And so the latest poll from Gallup this The headline
from Axios reporting on the Gallup poll around this was
Americans now less supportive of trans athletes playing on team
of choice. So the numbers are going the right direction.
As people become more aware of this. It is now
a minority of twenty six percent of Americans that endorse
(02:29):
transgender athletes being allowed to play on teams that match,
you know, whatever their identity is at the time. Wow,
twenty six percent. And I would bet that of that
twenty six percent, a pretty large chunk is only answering
that way because, like I said, they're kind of feeling
cowed into I guess everybody's okay with this, and I've
(02:49):
heard that you're a hater if you don't agree. They
don't actually agree, They just think, ma'am, I heard that
you're a bad person if you if you if you
say this seems crazy.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Right, or they've heard the critical theory arguments and they think, yeah,
I guess that kind of makes sense to me. I
tell you what, give me five minutes with them, and
I'm not talking about it. I'm going to beat them up.
I'm talking about I'll just explain to them what they're
getting wrong and show them a picture, for instance, of
Leah Thomas towering like a man among girls over the
(03:20):
swimmers he competed against.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Some of the paragraphs around this story from Axios are
kind of interesting. The big picture the debate regarding trans
athletes participation in sports is largely viewed around competitive fairness
rather than transgender civil rights. Per Gallop, Yeah, well, of course, yeah, yeah,
(03:47):
of course.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Title nine was specifically so women could have sports for women.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I thought this was kind of interesting. The number is
only slightly higher. In fact, it might even be within
the margin of air for people who know a transgender
person favoring allowing athletes to play on teams. So to
find this to be quite a bit different because that
was a big movement in the whole gay marriage thing,
(04:14):
as it became more okay to be out and proud
and be gay, and more people than knew more gay people.
There are way more people in then at some point
everybody knew somebody was gay. That I remember the polling
on this. I mean it coordinated very very closely with
if you knew somebody who was a gay, Oh yeah,
he or she's a perfectly normal person and I like
(04:35):
them and everything like that. Yeah, they ought to be
able to get married. The support for gay marriage just
went up up up as more people knew more gay people.
But it doesn't seem to move on the whole trans issue.
If you know a transperson. You're really no more likely
to think that biological males should be able to go
dominate girls' sports, which I find interesting.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I do know at least one trans person, and I'm
very fond of them. Without getting into details or my
opinions on what they're going through. Hasn't altered my opinion
in the least. It's self evident that biological males who've
undergone male puberty especially cannot possibly fairly compete against women.
(05:15):
It's idiotic. The idea that it's even an open question
is ludicrous. And as you point out, it's barely a
quarter of Americans. And again, I could sway half of
those people in five minutes who believe this. I think.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I think if you had the whole country in a
room and you told this quarter, you realize there's only
twenty six percent of you believe this. Everybody else doesn't
think it's okay. I think a whole bunch of them
would switch to the other side, like the way they
do the Iowa caucuses. I think a whole buttonm was, oh,
really that many people are okay? Well, yeah, I actually
believe that too. I was just afraid that nobody else.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Did you know, what old simple jack they call you,
and that is a beautiful simple truth.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Here.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
I am thinking, well, I will now shine them with
my intellect. And you're right, a lot of them are thinking. Everybody,
so I better say I think it because most people
are kind of sheeple.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Right, You're so right, and the mainstream media is one
hundred percent for it, right right.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
By the way, you've brilliantly anticipated some of Andrew Sullivan's
points in his essay Queer versus Homosexual.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I really like Andrew Sullivan.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
He's a super smart guy. I often disagree with him,
but he's one of those guys he backs up his
arguments and you've got to respect him intellectually.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Well, it's a super interesting guy. Devoutly religious, Catholic gay man.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Mm hmm, sorryfect writer too.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I'm going to hear from him coming up.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Is that what we're going to I think I think
we should, Yes, And I think it's also worth re noting,
as the Axios headline mentioned that the share of adults
who endorse the transgender athlete thing, and I'm not talking
about recreation. If it's recreation, nobody's going to get hurt.
You know, y'all decide for yourselves. I'm talking about competition,
(06:58):
high school, college, professional, whatever. The proportion of Americans, the
percentage who support that is shrinking pretty quickly. It's not
trending toward yay, biological men get to compete with women
because that's equal rights. No, it's going in the opposite direction.
(07:21):
The more people are exposed to the reality of it,
the less they like it.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
I'll jam this in here real quick. The nation's first
drag laureate will kick off the Pride Parade in San
Francisco this weekend. Darcy Drollinger ready for her first official appearance.
Now that San Francisco is named that, you know, you
have a poet laureate or whatever. A drag laureate is
what they went with.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Nah, you don't really need that, but go on.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
The artist, nightclub owner, and newly appointed government official. You're
a government official. Stood in the living room of our
San Francisco apartment is. Two helpers, grappled with a set
of bejeweled, custom made artificial nails, wedged her into a
pair of white pass and stilettos and a tight pink
skirt suit. She stepped out of the house and into
a very busy schedule I'm speaking at the San Francisco
(08:08):
Arts Commission to say what. I'm also speaking at the
Entertainment Commission whatever that is, to say what? And I'm
going to speak at a high school. Then I'll be
at the parade with the mayor. What are you gonna
say at the high school? Why is the high school
inviting you there? And what are you going to say
at the high school kids? That needs to happen? In education?
Speaker 4 (08:27):
What is going on? They're selling radical queer theory? What
is going on? Why is this happening? I just don't
understand it. When was the vote?
Speaker 5 (08:37):
When did we have this conversation about whether or not
you know, we talk about that they don't have time
for all the things they got to teach in school.
Do they need to extend the day or the year
whatever to teach stalmin science and math and blah blah blah.
When did we jam in enough time to have the
translaureate come give a speech about what What is.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
She gonna say?
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Inclusion? Jack, equal rights, sacred American values, boys and girls'
locker rooms, men competing against women in sports, it's equality.
Probably worth tossing it. As long as we're on the topic,
The Biden administration is taking heat for violating US Flag
Code with the Pride Flag display, which put the Pride
flag at the center of a flag display. US law
(09:20):
code says the American flag has to be at the center.
And during their up with trans people rally at the
White House, for some reason, some trans person lifted up
her top and showed her new bibbs and she has
been he disinvited from the White House for life. Blah
blah blah. Yeah, I disavow, I disavow.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Not since Clinton was in the side office have we
had bare boobs at the White House.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
I'm not sure that was necessary. Yes, yes, you don't
think it was necessary. I think it was gotten amen
from Hillary anyway,
