Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm Chuck Douglas. This is the Power Hour six ten WTV,
(00:02):
and another another mayor has lost their mind. I'm talking
about the mayor of Tulsa, Oklahoma. If you haven't heard
this story already, you are just you're going to jump
for joy when I share this one with you. But
I want to talk about this this high school athlete.
Of course, the state of California, Okay, where where you
can participate in anything no matter who you are, what
(00:23):
you are. Although Gavin Newsom, who's trying to position himself
as a more moderate Democrat for a presidential run, I
guarantee you that's what's on his mind for twenty twenty eight,
has said that he doesn't see the logic of having
males competing in girls sports. But he did when they
made it the law in California, So that aside. What
(00:48):
I contend here is that misery is acceptable and joy
is unacceptable. When you're happy about something, just like there's
always somebody ready to make you feel bad about being happy.
You should not be happy. You should not be joyful.
You should unless, of course, you know you're happy for
(01:09):
them or joyful for them, or happy or joyful over
something that they approve of. But we're always we're always
ready to we're always ready to be good and misery together.
And the reason this story actually is a perfect, just
absolutely perfect story, is because the subject matter is someone
(01:38):
with whom I completely disagree. Zach sent me this earlier.
He usually sends out an email with some twisted news
from around the world. And this girl's been in the
news on the car a girl because I'm gonna end
up reading this to you, and it calls her a girl,
but it's a guy. The Cali for it is the
(02:00):
California Track and Field State Championships under increased scrutiny because
of a transgender athlete who participated in and won the
girl's high jump and triple jump events. Separate controversy flew
underneath the radar had to do with the varsity girl's
four hundred finals Supreme Court Clara Adams of North Selenas
High School. I'm sorry, sophomore Clara Adams. I do like
(02:23):
the name. Clara. By the way of North Selena's High School,
finished in second place in the pre limbs and came
off the starting line quickly in the finals ran away
to a first place finish or so she thought. Adams
celebrated with her father after winning the race. She took
a fire extinguisher from her father sprayed her shoes with it,
(02:45):
alluding to the fact that she moved so fast her
feet were on fire.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I thought that was pretty funny.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Her father, David, said the celebration was done away from opponents.
She wasn't disrespecting anyone, he told the media. California interscholas
Federation determined adam celebration was unsportsmanlike. Shouldn't it be sportswoman
like or sports nothing like? Because you're not here neither
one unsportsmanlike, and adam state championship was taken away. She
(03:15):
was also disqualified from the meet and lost an opportunity
to compete in the two hundred meter race as well.
David Adams told the outlet that the CIS investigation was
protested and said he felt like, here we go, here
we go. You need this. The disqualification was racially motivated
because Clara is black. Doesn't have anything to do with
(03:37):
the fact that Clara has a penis. That's got nothing
to do with it. So was the California Interscholastic Federation
attempting to right a wrong? By disguising the fact that,
like much of America, corporate and politically, this whole DEI
thing is bs. They're pulling out of it and they
(03:59):
don't believe a boy it should be out here winning
these girls events. Were they trying to fix that without
being obvious about it? I don't know. Am I sad
that this male who's competing against females lost the title
that chap, No, I'm not, but I am sad because
(04:21):
of why, because of excessive celebration. We see it at
the college level, we see it at the professional level.
We've got you know, this is the high school level here.
When this is a legitimate question, When is it okay
to be happy? You just went out there, male, female
(04:44):
or undetermined and kicked but took names cross the line,
got the trophy, got the title, got the accolades. When
is it okay to be happy? My Bengals actually, well,
you know, pull off a touchdown with ten seconds left
and beat a team that was supposed to beat them
by at least three touchdowns, and they get a whistle
(05:08):
blown because Burrow did the funky chicken back there from
the line of scrimmage, and they call it excessive celebration.
When is it okay to be happy about succeeding being victorious?
You see, that's what we have demonized the idea of
conquering competition. I guarantee you that ultimately is what is
(05:33):
behind it. Some school of thought that says, well, you
shouldn't take joy in beating someone. Everybody deserves a trophy
just because they showed up, and you're wrong, You are
so wrong, And I think honestly that overrides the whole
gender issue. For anybody who you know, cares about the
(05:54):
gender issue. You think I'm onto anything or not. Yes,
you're honestly not about gender, not about celebration. It is
about It is about deconstructing your natural urge to conquer.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Obstacles, especially in celebration. In sports, they absolutely have taken
that away. Remember an NFL when a team would score,
they used to have all these dances.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Man, the icky shuffle was fun. We did that at
the PROMSFF was hilarious.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
They do it in the NBA. You can't do anything
like that now, or it's a penalty, NBA, NFL, whatever,
you can't. You can't do anything. And I don't know
if it's because you're celebrating, and it might make the
other team sad.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Probably you're hurting their feelings.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yeah, you're hurting their feelings.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I don't care, because you run and you should be
able to go out there and celebrate. You don't have
to go non no, now you stink, but you have
to go non and now we're the best, and that
should not be discouraged. But I believe ultimately putting all
the other race aside, transgender crap aside, all of it aside. Ultimately,
what they are trying to do is discourage the human
(07:00):
condition of winning. Winning. All the way back to alg
and Groggs. Somebody had to bring home that pterodactyl stake
and if agg did it, Grogg's family didn't think much
of him that night. Winning it matters, and it's being discouraged,
(07:21):
and that, ultimately is what they are trying to take
the competition out of you. Tulsa, Oklahoma, first black mayor there, seriously, man,
first black mayor, and this is what you're gonna do
with it? Really has proposed creating a one hundred million
dollars private trust fund as part of guess what a
reparations plan for the impact of the Tulsa Race massacre,
(07:46):
which took place more than one hundred years ago. Mayor
Monroe Nichols, the fourth elected mayor in November, says the
trust would be used to provide scholarships in housing to
the descendants of those impacted by the massacre. He clarified
that the trust would not involve direct cash payments. However,
for one hundred four years, the Tulsa Rais massacre has
(08:06):
been a stain in our city's history. Nickel set on Sunday,
and I agree with that the massacre was hidden from
history books, only to be followed by international acts of
redlining on a highway built to choke off economic vitality,
and the perpetual and uninvestment under investment of local, state,
and federal governments. I agree with that it was hidden
(08:28):
from history. Black Wall Street hidden from history absolutely. I
don't know why. Had it not been hidden from history,
perhaps it would have inspire people to do better, and
there'd be a whole bunch of rich black people now
and nobody would be talking reparations anyway. He said, now
it's time to take the next big steps to restore
Did I mention one hundred million dollars here's here's where
(08:48):
you have a problem. The private charitable trust would be
created with the goal to secure one hundred five million
dollars in assets, with most of the funding either secured
or committed by June first, twenty twenty six. Can't do it,
Nichol said, the city would have to approve the transfer
of any city assets to the trust. Ain't gonna happen.
(09:13):
The plan calls for the bulk of the funding, sixty
million dollars, to go toward improving buildings and revitalizing the
city's north side. So that's what you want to do.
Why not just say that instead instead of putting it
under the disguise of this ridiculous notion of reparations. The
thing about history is it's what's already happened. Tomorrow is
(09:38):
the most wonderful day. Ever, how do I know, Well,
because it's tomorrow. Like the song says, tomorrow tomorrow, I
love you tomorrow. You're always a day away. Stop going
back in time and trying to find things to be
miserable about and create victims about, and look toward tomorrow.
(10:00):
Or maybe that's just me
