Speaker 1 (00:00):
Every day we wake up in today's world and it
feels like we are living in opposite day. What is
good is bad, bad is good, Up is down, down
is up. We talk about it a lot on the
show of just feeling like we live in this bizarre world.
Nothing makes sense anymore. You know, hopefully we find our
way out of it. But what we're talking about today,
(00:21):
So I'm gonna be honest, I've not been watching the Olympics.
I've seen clips. I saw the opening ceremony. That was
kind of it for me. I just don't really feel
like supporting. So, you know, I used to watch the Olympics,
and you know, you support your country and there's a
pride with that, and there's still you know, I love America.
It's not that I've lost pride in America, but I
just don't want to support the insanity. To be perfectly honest,
(00:43):
I don't want to support an Olympics with a satanic opening.
I don't want to support an Olympics where men are
encouraged to beat the crap out of women in boxing tournaments.
It's just not really something I want to lend my
viewership too. But we're gonna talk about that today, two
mile boxers in the Olympics, winning and beating up women.
One of those men, Algerian boxer Immain Khleief, was able
(01:07):
to defeat his opponent in just forty six seconds. Italy
is Angela Karini said that she had never been hit
that hard in the ring before, well because she probably
had been beaten up by a man before. So who
better to discuss it with than the great Riley Gaines.
She is the author of Swimming Against the Current and
she's also the host of Outkicks Gains for Girls podcasts.
(01:30):
She has obviously been fearless in this fight, and so
we will turn to her for some insight into all
of this and so much more. Stay tuned, Riley, it's
great to have you back on the show. We were
just talking about these insane times that were living in
(01:50):
and you know, hoping there's still some sane people left,
but I don't know these days. You know, watching the Olympics,
we now have two women who have worked their entire
lives as athletes to compete in the Olympics, I mean,
a dream come true, and then to have their dreams
shattered by men.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Can you believe it? As if honestly you mentioned we're
watching the Olympics. I had to question myself which part
you were referring to.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I've heard watching just to be honest, and I've seen
the clips I've read about anyway, carry on, No, I
had to.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Ask myself which part you're referring to.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
You know, was it the satanic, blasphemous display of the
last Supper at the opening ceremony, or are you referring
to the women in the ring getting pummeled by men,
which we used to call domestic violence. We used to
charge these men with criminal charges, but no, now we're
giving them Olympic medals. It's beyond reprehensible. It's unfathomable how
(02:51):
we got here. And actually I say that, I say
it's unfathomable, unfathomable, but really it's quite predictable.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Honestly.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
You think back the last Olympics in twenty twenty, which
really turned into twenty twenty one because of COVID, and
we had Laurel Hubbard, who is a male from New
Zealand who was able to compete in powerlifting.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
With the women.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
It's still those same Olympic organizers in charge, the same
people sitting on the governing board.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
At the IOC.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
So we really, honestly shouldn't be surprised that now they
have let it progress to the point where they are
allowing this to happen in boxing, of all sports, I
believe every sport it's an injustice. But in sports like
my sport, swimming, I'd never had to worry about my
physical safety about I mean my life quite honestly, But
(03:38):
these women. Angela Karini, oh my gosh, she is a hero.
I can't imagine the grit and the strength of course
it takes to train to compete at that level, but
the grit and the strength that it took her to
go over to her coach and say this isn't this
is unfair, it's.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Not worth it. I'm going to get hurt, seriously hurt
if I continue on with this. And so she's a.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Hero, not just for herself personally or the other female
boxers at that meet, but she's really a hero, I
believe to humanity.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Well, and she said that, you know, she abandoned the
round after just forty six seconds, saying that she had
never been hit that hard in the ring before. Well,
of course, because she had, she probably hadn't been punched
in the face by a grown man before in the ring,
as you talk about all even the the you know,
the opening ceremony, and then allowing men to compete against women.
I guess, when did the insane become commonplace?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
That's a good question and something I'm still trying to
get to the bottom of because admittedly being relatively new to.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I guess really just.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Just abandoning this naivety that I had, right I was
a college student just two years ago, and so my
eyes were kind of closed to a lot of the
outside noise beyond my own personal life, beyond my academic success,
my athletic success, my personal relationships.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I had, you know, kind of the blinders on.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
And so in these past two years, really being able
to see and feel more importantly firsthand the insanity, the
cultural chaos that is plaguing this country. It's a question
I'm asking myself and what I will say in my
personal life again, what I have experienced. I think again
(05:25):
being a college student during the time of COVID, that's
when I noticed it. That's when I noticed that the
mask was off, no pun intended. That's when I realized,
at least from our school's perspective, the institutional perspective. That's
when they realized they could control us. They could control
what we said, what we did, how we thought, and
(05:48):
they did it pretty effectively. It worked in the methods
and tactics that they used, and I think they carried
on with that same sort of the same sort of
tactics beyond COVID and so well as I imagine, you know,
it's been happening at least behind closed doors much longer
than that. But I believe COVID is when they weren't
(06:08):
willing to really show all their cards.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Absolutely, you know, a hundred percent agree with that. I
do also think that there were a lot of mentally
unhealthy people in the country and COVID and the isolation
of the stress pushed them off the cliff a little bit,
because this is a mental illness, one from you know,
met or women pretending and believing that they're otherwise when
when they're not. But then also the acceptance of it.
I mean, one, I think it's a test of submission.
(06:32):
But then secondly, I think some of it's a you know,
meant like we have an increased, you know, increasing percentage
of the population that are that are mentally ill.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
But the sad thing is.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I mean, you'd pointed out you've had to deal with
this when you're a college athlete, you know, top tier
college athlete. Uh, and you had to deal with it
in the sense of being robbed of you know, what
you were owed and what you'd worked for. But this
is going to get someone killed. I mean, you know,
Creey never been hit this hard in the ring before.
There was a high school volleyball athlete recently who was
(07:05):
struck in the face by you know, a man basically,
and then now she has been left paralyzed, partially paralyzed
by the opponent. So at some point, I mean, someone
could die from this. I mean, this is actually putting
women's lives in danger.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Of course, if we won't draw a line in the
sand now after women have I mean, you look at volleyball,
as you said, Peyton McNabb. She's partially paralyzed, her memories impaired,
her vision is impaired.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
She has to have special accommodations for.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Testing at school because she can't retain information like she
once could. She's now not playing college softball like she
was supposed to. The countless other women who have been
concussed by playing volleyball against a male athlete, or you
look at field hockey where a girl in Massachusetts lost
all of her teeth, I mean, had all of her
teeth knocked out after a male on the field slapped
(07:57):
a shot at her, hit her in the face. She
had undergo facial reconstruction and surgery to reconstruct her jaw,
her smile, and now in boxing, if that is not
a line, a clear line that we are willing to
draw in the sand, then, unfortunately, I think it's going
to take a woman dying for these people again, whether
it's the NCAA, whether it's the IOC, whether it's the
(08:20):
Democratic Party, who don't forget. Recently, in a ci A
Congressional Review Act vote surrounding Title nine, all Democrats, every
single House Democrat, all two hundred and five of them
who voted, voted against protecting women and girls in sports.
I think it's going to take a woman dying before
these virtue signaling morally bankrupt sellouts open up their eyes
(08:46):
to the harm, to the severity, to the likelihood of
this happening really at an exponential rate at this point,
I think it's going to take a woman dying, and
it's so sad that they call this progress right, they
label this as as progressive.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
We are moving in the positive forward direction.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Let's be very very clear, this is deeply regressive. This
is taking us back in time at least half a
century to I mean the nineteen seventies, nineteen seventy two
when Title nine was enacted.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
We've got more with Riley, but first, we're quickly approaching
the one year anniversary of the horrific Hamas attacks on Israel,
and still the Holy Land continues to be attacked on
multiple fronts. Deadly threats are increasing in northern Israel. Constant
rocket attacks from Hesbala have been fired at Israel, causing
widespread damage, with raging fires destroying precious farmland. Since the
(09:41):
war started, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has
been on the forefront in Israel, addressing the needs of
the most vulnerable. That's why I'm partnering with IFCJ today.
Your life saving donation will help provide emergency food as
well as critical security needs such as flak jackets, firefighting equipment,
armored vehicle, bomb shelters, and so much more. We're looking
(10:03):
for five hundred listeners to join the fellowship and me
by donating one hundred and fifty dollars to meet these
urgent security needs. And thanks to a generous IFCJ supporter,
your gift will be matched, doubling your impact in the
Holy Land. Call to make your gift right now at
eight eight eight four eight eight I f c J.
That's eight eight eight four eight eight I f CJ
(10:25):
or four three two five or go along to support
I FDJ dot org to give. That's one word support,
I f CJ dot org. Israel needs or support now. No,
and you mentioned field hockey. Eight. I used to play
field hockey in high school and I've been hitting the
head you know, twice and you know, knocks you to
(10:46):
the ground. I mean that the ball coming at you,
even that was from a woman. I can't imagine with
the you know, the strength of a male with it coming.
I mean I had a huge you know, goose egg
black two black eyes. I might kept playing because I'm
a psycho path with that, you know, grew up with
three brothers. But no, it's like it's incredibly dangerous and
they just don't care. It's almost like I don't understand
(11:08):
what they get off from it. I mean it really
is sick because even with these Title nine changes that
are coming into effect, the idea of allowing men to
shower with women like, there's something that is perverted, Like
there is a sickness to that, that is a.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Twisted beyond perverted, beyond perverted.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
And again you look at the people who are creating
and enforcing these policies, and the tragic part about it
is oftentimes they have.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Daughters, They have young daughters.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Again, these democrats in the House who voted in favor
of this stuff, they have daughters of their own. And
you really mean to tell me, as a mother or
a father that you would be okay with your daughter
undressing next to a.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Fully grown, fully intact, six foot four naked man.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
You really mean to tell me you would be okay
with that. I hold this hope in my heart that
they don't actually think that, right ESPN, who's been pushing
this stuff, honored Leah Thomas as a Woman's History Month Warrior,
whatever it was, the instabl A. I hold this hope
in my heart that they know, of course, they know
the differences that exist between men and women, because I mean,
(12:22):
if you don't, there's a couple options here.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
You're either.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Incompetent, orgon a sellout that doesn't care about women.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
That's again just the reality of it. There's not a
lot of other justification for this.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
What's also just a charade to go along with Women's
History Month, when like, what is a woman anymore? Or
even you know, the Left being excited about Kamala Harris.
You know what's if you don't even know what a
woman is, what's the celebration.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
About, you know?
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I mean, it's just it's so laughable. I mean, it's
not laughable because it's sad what they've brought us to
with this, but I think even worse, even beyond this,
and even beyond you know what's sad, what they're doing
a women and women's sports is just forcing Americans to
accept something that is so insane.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
And not even just accept it. It's to celebrate it, Yeah,
it's to celebrate it.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
It's to encourage it, it's to support it. And if
you don't support it, if you didn't post a little
black square, or if you don't have your pronouns in
your bio or whatever the narrative is they're trying to
push at the time, if you don't support it, then
you're reprimanded. You're called names. You're the one who's called
a racist or a white supremacist, or a homophobe, or
a transphobe, or a domestic terrorist or a fascist or
(13:38):
whatever they will call you, even if you look at again.
Taking this back to the Biden Harris administration's a legal
administrative rewrite of Title nine.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
In this new rewrite, if you.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
A seventeen year old girl, you're housed with a male,
because that's what it allows for you to be housing
a dorm dormitory room with a male. If you even
go to your administrator and merely request a new roommate,
you would be guilty and charged.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
With sexual harassment.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
No, not the man parading around your locker room. No,
to President Biden, that's considered brave.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
He said it many times. He says, these are the most.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Brave and inspiring people I've ever met. But you calling
a spade a spade is grounds for sexual harassment. So
all that to say, yes, they're they're forcing us to
accept it.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
They are forcing us to.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Ignore our gut instinct, ignore what our eyes and our
ears are telling us, which is especially dangerous to women.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I mean, it really is like our entire society is
set up these days to punish what is good and
honest and to celebrate what is dishonest and evil. That
we live an upside down world.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
But again, we shouldn't be shocked, especially if you're approaching
this from the perspective of like myself, a Christian.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I mean, we're warned.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
We're told that these spiritual bottles will intensify and we
will reach a point where dark is seen as light,
and bitter is seine as sweet, and evil is seen
as moral. Now we're told in acts, in Romans, different places,
Paul warns us, and it's undeniable. That's not where we're
at right now, where evil is seen as moral and
vice versa, which looks to be very clear. That's not
(15:21):
me saying that I think this male boxer is evil,
or I think Leah Thomas is evil. No, I don't
think that. But deception that is evil. Manipulation that is evil.
Lying and affirming something that is neither biblically nor objectively true,
that's evil.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
So we you're nice for me because I will say
I think they're evil. No, I mean that I think
that it is evil to punch a woman in the
face and to get no measure off of it, and
to deny someone of their dreams. I think it's selfish
and I do think it is evil, So I'll be
less nice than you. You're a nicer person than Riley Gaines.
(16:02):
We appreciate your time. Thanks for bringing some sanity to
the show in this insane world. We appreciate what you do,
appreciate your fight, We appreciate you for being so bold
and everything that you do well.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Thank you. It's people like you who inspire me, so
I appreciate.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
You those Riley Gaines always appreciate her insight, she's so bold. Really,
just have so much respect for her. Appreciate her for
taking the time to join the show. Appreciate you guys
at home for listening every Monday and Thursday, but you
can listen throughout the week. I want to thank John Cassio,
my producer, for putting the show together. Until next time,
