Speaker 4 (01:33):
There are going to be so many books written on
how Joe Biden has destroyed this country in so many
different ways. I mean the list is just long enough,
serious business for a book and explaining what happened, how
it happened, why it happened. And one of those things is,
you know, women's sports just destroyed. I mean, Joe Biden
(01:55):
targeted and did more damage to women's sports and privacy.
And we even realize in joining us now to talk
about this, doctor Nathaniel Cogley and an associate professor of
political science. Hey Nathaniel, thank you for being in here.
I appreciate you. So how is Donald Trump going to
fix this? He says, on day one, this is going away.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Yeah, that's right. He was very clear running in his campaign,
and I'm going to quote him here, he said, men
playing in women's sports is insane. I can't even imagine
anyone thinking anything other. I'm going to terminate that immediately.
I'm not going to let it happen. So the Senate
doesn't move immediately. Yeah, Republicans got fifty three senators, but
(02:35):
the Democrats could filibuster Senate actions. So the president trying
to sign a change to the law here seems like
something that definitely wouldn't happen immediately. So we're expecting an
executive order probably on day one. On day one of
the Biden administration, he informed the states that they should
think of sex discrimination in Title nine, which was written
(02:58):
in nineteen seventy two as a gender identity. So if
you deny someone who thinks they're a woman a spot
on a woman's team, that could be interpreted as a
sex discrimination. Trump's going to be able to come and
hear and reverse all that stuff pretty quick through executive
action because Congress never said that. That was Biden's interpretation
(03:18):
that he issued on day one of his administrations, so
Trump can undo that and say no, the interpretation going
forward is that discrimination on sex is refers to biology
and nothing else, and that the Title nine should be
interpreted as ensuring biological women equal access to sports.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Well, you make a great point in that basically is
defined back in the seventies when Title nine came to
be as what gender is, there's two male and female,
and to protect women, they got Title nine, you know,
in place to allow them to have as much accessibility
and as much good coming in their direction as the
(03:59):
men do. So, once again, as it's defined in the
beginning by people that want to protect women and honor
and award women's sports, all of a sudden, they don't
want to use that same definition that was used when
it was created to define what's going on. Now you
can have it both ways.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Yeah, I think it's a good example. You know, it's
the president's constitutional duty to make sure that the laws
are faithfully executed, and faithful means in a manner that
is true to the facts or the original So President
Trump's going to come in here with an execution of
the law that's faithful to the original one written in
nineteen seventy two. What Predicident and Biden was up to
(04:39):
is not the original intent of the law. By any
stretch or imagination. So it was kind of his preference
of what he'd like the law to be, not his
actual faithful executional law. It's also politically curious. I mean,
Trump's on the right side of the law, but he's
also on the right side with the public. You know,
sixty nine percent of the population once participation in sports
(05:01):
to be based on biology, not identity. So Biden's position
is constitutionally untenable and also politically as well.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
You know, I don't know, you know why we got
into this whole thing and why it became such a
centerpiece of discussion and that we've got to go along
with this and just bow to it. But when it
started to be every doctor I've spoken to said gender
dysphoria is a psychological problem, not a biological problem, and
(05:30):
should be dealt with psychologically. I mean, why did the
medical community start to bend away from that? And even
as young as you know, young children go into pediatric
centers and they're pediatricians saying all right, I'll go and
I'll go with you on this, and let's go ahead
and start the transition. What happened with our medical.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Community on the outside of that it looks like there
was a lot of money and grants tied into doing
it the way that the powers that be in DC
would like it done. And of course the pharmaceutical industry
is very powerful there. Of course people did speak up
and this is why the tide is starting to turn
right now.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Well, thank god if this is going to change. And
I'm so glad that you mentioned that Donald Trump may
pull out that executive pen did not realize that that
would be something, as you know, an executive action could do,
but he said, nope, day one, Here we go, no more.
All right, buddy, I appreciate you, doctor Nathaniel Cogley. Interesting insight.
