This is Undaunted Life, a man's podcast.
1:21
I'm your host Kyle Thompson.
1:22
Let's get into it.
1:23
So big announcement for you guys that have been following Undaunted Life for a long time.
1:28
I am constantly asked, Kyle, I want to get a T-shirt.
1:30
We're going to get a T-shirt.
1:31
Hey, you've got an Undaunted T-shirt.
1:33
Why don't I have an Undaunted T-shirt?
1:34
Well, here's the thing.
1:35
Guys, we now have a shop on our website.
1:38
So if you go to Undaunted.life/shop, not only do we have T-shirts, really awesome.
1:45
Awesome T-shirts, kind of a black on black thing.
1:47
But we also have rash guards.
1:50
We know a lot of you guys have started doing jujitsu or are continuing to do jujitsu because
1:54
of podcasts like this one and other ones.
1:57
But guys, this is a pre-order, okay?
1:59
We are stopping the pre-order on Friday, June the 11th, okay?
2:03
Because we're not just going to keep a bunch of stuff in stock.
2:05
We're not going to just basically load up my garage with stuff.
2:08
And if you pre-order it on the website, you got to make sure you give us the right size.
2:12
We have a little size chart on there, but guys, it is good looking stuff.
2:16
Make sure you go to Undaunted.life/shop.
2:19
I will make sure that the link is in the description so you can go and check that out.
2:22
But let's go ahead and get into the rest of stuff we need to talk about.
2:25
Hi guys, it is June, which basically means Happy Pride Month, right?
2:30
Happy Pride Month everybody.
2:32
That's essentially what you have to say or you're a bigot, right?
2:34
You got to change your profile picture to be a rainbow and all that kind of stuff because
2:37
here's the guys, you know, let's just be serious here.
2:40
May, we ended May with a single day where we actually memorialized the deaths of well
2:46
over a million U.S. soldiers that have died, you know, defending freedom and
2:51
extinguishing evil and pushing back tyranny, you know, little things, little
2:54
things like that.
2:55
So we celebrated Memorial Day for one day, but now we get an entire month to celebrate
3:02
the real heroes.
3:04
You know that the females that choose to have sex with females, the L's, males that
3:08
choose to have sex with males, the G's, males and females that choose to have sex
3:12
with both males and females, the B's, males that think they're females and vice
3:16
versa, the T's, and then males and females that have no idea what to think, the cues,
3:21
and then literally every other depraved, amoral, nonsensical decision regarding sex
3:25
and gender, the pluses.
3:27
So I think I covered them all right.
3:29
So that's LGBTQ plus right now.
3:31
Now before we get into today's episode because I promise this is all going to end up making
3:35
sense at some point.
3:36
I want to have a little aside here.
3:39
Why should people that fall into the LGBTQ plus crowd be proud?
3:46
And I don't mean that from any type of moralistic sense, even though I did just bring that up
3:51
a second ago, I mean that strictly in terms of the word proud.
3:55
So so proud, one of the definitions that I found is feeling pleasurable satisfaction
4:00
over an act, possession, quality, or relationship by which one measures one stature or self-worth.
4:06
Because you see, even if you answer this one question alone, and almost destroys the entire
4:13
LGBTQ mindset and worldview, because guys, we've been reliably informed by such scientists
4:20
as Lady Gaga, that the L's, the G's, and the B's were just born this way, right?
4:25
They didn't choose to be a lesbian, they didn't choose to be gay, they didn't choose
4:29
to be attracted to both sexes, they didn't choose it, they were born this way.
4:34
Now, there's actually no scientific basis for this, and there have been people that
4:37
for decades now have been trying to discover the gay gene, some sort of a genetic component
4:41
to being homosexual, and they can't find that in Homo sapiens, oddly enough.
4:45
But again, it's kind of one of those things, science of the gaps, the God of the gaps argument
4:48
that eventually science will figure that out.
4:50
But it's just an interesting thing, because whenever you go to the very next letter, the
4:54
T's, you have to ask, well, what about the T's?
4:58
Because we've been reliably informed by all these woke people in modern society that a
5:04
human being can actually and literally change their sex if they choose to.
5:11
All they have to do is choose to do that.
5:14
And even those who say, no, I've felt like I've been the opposite sex my entire life.
5:18
I felt like I've been trapped in my body my entire life.
5:20
They don't argue that it's a scientific reality that they are the opposite sex.
5:25
They don't they don't argue that, because if they did, then there would be no reason
5:29
to present themselves as the opposite sex via dressing or styling like the opposite sex,
5:35
or you know, even getting surgery to look more like the opposite sex.
5:39
They would need to do those things.
5:41
So guys, if you're keeping score so far, I know it's hard to hard to follow, right?
5:44
We have the L's, the G's and the B's that are born that way, but then you've got the
5:47
T's that can make that decision after they're born.
5:51
Okay.
5:52
So just so you're keeping up.
5:53
You apparently can't figure out what they want, so the jury's still out on whether or
5:56
not they were born a certain way or they chose to be a certain way.
5:59
And then you've got the pluses and essentially the pluses will let you know what to think
6:04
whenever they figure it out, because that plus just goes at infinitum.
6:07
It just keeps on going and going and going and there is no stopping.
6:10
Okay.
6:11
The point to all that in, you know, this is a great intro to what we're going to be talking
6:14
about today is as a worldview, the LGBTQ plus worldview is an empty framework of contradictory
6:22
stances on reality.
6:25
And when you talk to people that are actually in these communities, and again, I don't like
6:28
referring to them as communities, because these are individual people, there are people that
6:31
don't think that they should all be grouped up together.
6:35
Things that lesbians do and believe aren't exactly what gay people do or believe are transgender
6:40
people or people that are on the queer spectrum or questioning spectrum.
6:44
They don't really know what to do.
6:45
This is not a framework that helps us understand truth.
6:49
That's partially the point, because when you live in this post truth culture, we're not
6:53
as worried about truth as we are about making sure that everybody feels like their truth
6:58
is being heard.
7:00
So we're going to kick off pride month, you know, the greatest month of the year by focusing
7:03
on the T of LGBTQ plus, and that's the story about a high school girls track athlete in
7:09
the state of Connecticut.
7:10
So you may have heard about this story, but I do want to go into it into a lot of detail,
7:13
really.
7:14
So I'm going to read the entirety of a blog.
7:17
It's short, but it was written by a high school senior at Ken, high school in Canton, Connecticut.
7:21
Her name is Chelsea Mitchell, okay?
7:23
So this blog, and this is important.
7:25
This blog was originally posted as an op ed, right?
7:28
So not a news piece, but as an opinion piece on May 22nd of 2021, okay, and it was posted
7:33
in the USA today, and it was posted on their website.
7:36
And so that is the US newspaper with the widest distribution.
7:38
So for my listeners that aren't in the United States, that is the biggest newspaper technically
7:42
in the United States has the widest distribution.
7:45
So let me go and read this blog to you, and there's a few things that you should be able
7:48
to pull out before I even get into the details, even if you haven't heard the story.
7:51
So here we go.
7:52
This is from again, Chelsea Mitchell.
7:54
It's February, 2020.
7:56
I'm crouched at the starting line of the high school girls 55 meter indoor race.
8:00
This should be one of the best days of my life.
8:02
I'm running in the state championship, and I'm ranked the fastest high school female
8:06
in the 55 meter dash in the state.
8:08
I should be feeling confident.
8:10
I should know that I have a strong shot at winning.
8:13
But all I can think about is how all my training, everything I've done to maximize my performance
8:17
might not be enough simply because there's a runner on the line with an enormous physical
8:21
advantage, a male body.
8:24
I won that race and I'm grateful, but time after time, I've lost.
8:29
I've lost four women state championship titles, two all New England awards, and numerous other
8:35
spots on the podium to male runners.
8:37
I was bumped to third place in the 55 meter dash in 2019 behind two male runners.
8:43
With every loss, it gets harder and harder to try again.
8:46
That's a devastating experience.
8:48
It tells me that I'm not good enough, that my body isn't good enough, and that no matter
8:53
how hard I work, I'm unlikely to succeed because I'm a woman.
8:58
That experience is why three of my fellow female athletes and I filed a lawsuit last
9:02
year with Alliance Defending Freedom Against the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference
9:06
CIC, because girls and women shouldn't be stripped of their right to fair competition.
9:12
The CIC allows biological males to compete in girls and women's sports.
9:16
As a result, two males began racing in girls track in 2017.
9:21
In the 2017, 2018, and 2019 seasons alone, these males took 15 women's state championship
9:29
titles, titles held in 2016 by nine different girls, and more than 85 opportunities to participate
9:36
in higher level competitions that belonged to female track athletes.
9:40
That's because males have massive physical advantages.
9:43
Their bodies are simply bigger and stronger on average than female bodies.
9:47
It's obvious to every single girl on the track.
9:50
But Connecticut officials are determined to ignore the obvious, and unfortunately a federal
9:54
district court recently dismissed our case.
9:56
The court's decision to do so tells women and girls that their feelings and opportunities
10:00
don't matter and that they can't expect anyone to stand up for their dignity and their rights.
10:05
That's wrong, and it chips away at women's confidence and our belief in our own abilities.
10:10
This happened to me over and over.
10:11
Every time I walk up to the starting line, I try to tell myself that I can overcome the
10:15
unfair odds.
10:16
I can win, even though the race is stacked against me.
10:19
But besides the psychological toll of experiencing unfair losses over and over, the CIC's policy
10:24
has more tangible harms for women.
10:27
It robs girls with the chance to race in front of the college scouts who show up for elite
10:30
meets and to compete for scholarships and the opportunities that come with college recruitment.
10:35
I'll never know how my own college recruitment was impacted by losing those four-state championships
10:39
titles to a male.
10:41
When colleges looked at my record, they didn't see the fastest girl in Connecticut.
10:45
They saw a second or third place runner.
10:47
And it's not just happening to me.
10:49
My friend and fellow plaintiff Selena Sold was bumped from qualifying for the state championship
10:53
55-meter final and an opportunity to qualify for the New England Championship by a male
10:58
runner in 2019.
11:00
Meanwhile, Elena Smith, an incredibly talented female athlete, was the second place female
11:04
runner in the 200 meters at the New England Regional Championships but was dropped to third
11:09
because, or behind, a male competitor.
11:12
It's discouraging that the federal district court had decided that these experiences,
11:16
these lost opportunities, simply don't matter.
11:19
But I'm not beaten yet, and neither are my fellow female athletes.
11:22
Through our ADF attorneys, my fellow athletes and I are appealing the federal district's
11:26
court ruling.
11:27
We're taking our case to the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, where we are going
11:30
to ask once again for the court to recognize our right to fair competition, a right that
11:35
Title IX has promised to our girls and women for 50 years.
11:38
We're fighting not just for ourselves but for all female athletes.
11:42
So as we prepare for this next step in the case, I'm setting, I'm settling into starting
11:46
the starting blocks again but for a different kind of race.
11:50
And this time, I'm confident that we can win.
11:53
Okay, so when I first saw this, right, and whenever I first looked over it, here were
11:57
some of my immediate reactions to what I read here.
12:00
The first thing is that Chelsea Mitchell points, the points that she makes in this blog are
12:04
perfectly obvious and irrefutable.
12:06
Yes, men have a distinct biological and thus sports advantage, especially in something
12:11
like track and field, right?
12:13
Because on average, overwhelmingly men are faster than women, right?
12:17
You've seen it before where the woman that wins the 100, 200 and 300 and 400 meters in
12:21
the Olympics, they would be like 150th ranked in the nation in high school against boys,
12:27
right?
12:28
Like these are perfectly obvious things.
12:30
But I, you know, we live in a world where you can't just say perfectly obvious things
12:33
anymore without being called a bigot.
12:35
Another thing that I thought about is that Chelsea Mitchell is a hero.
12:38
Now I do want to go ahead and immediately provide a caveat to that because I think the
12:42
word hero is thrown around a lot.
12:44
It's used way too often, right?
12:46
So am I saying Chelsea Mitchell is running into a burning building to save a baby?
12:49
No, I'm not saying that.
12:50
I mean, am I saying Chelsea Mitchell is going and, you know, fighting ISIS overseas or anything
12:54
like I'm not saying that she's that type of hero, but she is a kind of a hero.
12:59
She is a type of a hero because regardless of what she does for the rest of her life,
13:03
this could define her forever.
13:06
Because this is a case that could go all the way to the Supreme Court and her name will
13:09
be attached to it, right?
13:11
And the rest of the plaintiffs, they will be attached to that.
13:13
And you're going to have people that are going not to not allow them to have opportunities
13:17
in this world because they were attached to a case like this, right?
13:21
And somehow a biological woman will be an anti feminist because she didn't support transgender
13:27
women.
13:28
I mean, it's silly.
13:29
And another immediate reaction that I had is that Chelsea Mitchell is a fighter.
13:33
And we mean, we need more people like her.
13:35
I run into so many guys that, you know, from the outside, they look like they're a fighter.
13:40
But in this type of a case, they would probably would have just told Chelsea, yeah, you know,
13:44
tough break.
13:45
But, you know, maybe you'll get them next time or, you know, you should train a little harder
13:49
so that you can beat the guy in that race again, or you beat him before, why not just
13:52
beat him again?
13:53
Right?
13:54
But she's a fighter.
13:55
She knows that this is unfair and she's okay with saying it.
13:58
And I think we need more people like that.
14:00
Now, the article alone, right, in the court case, that should have been the story.
14:05
That should have been the only thing that we were focused on, right?
14:08
But of course, everything is so incredibly stupid.
14:12
And so is the USA today.
14:14
So as per usual, when a reasonable person says something that's true publicly, there's
14:19
an outcry quote unquote, which means a few dozen dorks on Twitter, we're ready to go,
14:23
you know, viral with their vitriol.
14:25
But fearing that apparently unbearable vitriol, the USA today did one of the most egregious
14:31
things that I've heard of the media doing in a very long time.
14:34
And that's saying something considering some of the things that we've seen.
14:36
And because here's the thing is the media is responsible for a lot of coverups, right?
14:41
And the thing is, is you don't know about most of those covers up coverups because they
14:44
were covered up.
14:45
Right?
14:46
You don't really understand that.
14:47
It's not like, you know, what we see now where people are basically saying, Oh, COVID probably
14:49
came from a level four lab in Wuhan.
14:52
And for the last year, plus if you said something like that, you were silenced on social media.
14:56
And if you said something like that in the media, you were basically called QAnon conspiracy
15:00
there, that type of thing, because the media essentially wanted to cover it up.
15:03
And people in the government essentially wanted to cover that up.
15:06
They were essentially doing the bidding of the communist government in China.
15:09
Right?
15:10
But I'm going to kind of kind of come back to what we're talking about today.
15:12
But on May 25th, this is what the USA today did.
15:15
So the three days after they posted the original opinion piece, they edited the article without
15:21
Chelsea Mitchell's consent.
15:23
And they changed every instance of the word male to transgender through the entire article.
15:29
So that was 10 times by my count.
15:31
Okay.
15:32
And then they put a little editor's note at the top of the article and it reads this quote,
15:36
this column has been updated to reflect USA today's standards and style guidelines.
15:41
We regret that hurtful language was used, unquote, hurtful language was used.
15:50
Like the word male to describe someone that is a male.
15:56
That was the hurtful language that apparently sent ripples through the planet, right?
16:02
And guys, this all likely wouldn't have made any waves except that the girl and ADF noticed
16:07
and ADF actually posted the unedited original on their site and I'll put the link in the
16:12
show notes for that.
16:13
But they literally edited reality to conform to wokeism because I don't remember hearing
16:19
the outrage about this article.
16:21
I don't remember seeing it on Twitter.
16:22
I don't remember any of my, you know, woke friends on Facebook posting.
16:25
I don't remember any of that.
16:27
This was like preemptive editing.
16:30
It was that this woman had the gall to stand up for herself and her other female athletes
16:35
and to use something that's biologically real and that's calling a biological male a male.
16:40
And that was beyond the pale way we couldn't possibly have that be the thing.
16:45
And for the USA today to basically create correct wrong speak, I mean, that's that's
16:51
something special in and of itself because we live in an era now where if you think the
16:55
wrong thing, you're going to be shut down for that, but they already posted this.
16:59
And so the only logical explanation that this would have, you know, been posted in the first
17:04
place by USA today is that somehow someone got tricked, right?
17:07
Or maybe someone that one of the interns that actually posted it online went against what
17:11
the management said to do and posted it with the words mail in there, you know, those crazy
17:15
words, the words mail.
17:17
But no, they thought that this was an acceptable thing, but 72 hours of you literally probably
17:22
a few dozen people on Twitter being angry about it was too much for them because when
17:26
you switch out the word mail for transgender, it doesn't make any sense because they didn't
17:32
even say transgender male, right?
17:34
Our chance to transgender female, which would be a biological male that thinks he's a girl
17:38
or is pretending to be a girl because it's one of those things like the thing about these
17:42
boys that's so interesting is these boys were nothing's on the male track team.
17:48
And then all of a sudden they go through this internal issue, which again, I don't presume
17:52
to know anything about these kids, but is it not interesting that all of a sudden they're
17:55
having these issues?
17:57
And then all they do is grow their hair out and paint their nails and wear lipstick and
18:00
then they're winning all these races and it's sending them further down the pathway of doing
18:04
something that's potentially damaging to them for the rest of their lives, right?
18:08
I mean, if these boys go through with, you know, the hormone treatments and the surgeries
18:12
and all that to quote unquote become a girl, which is not real, that's a huge issue for
18:16
them.
18:17
And I don't think that we should be, you know, putting these people up on pedestals, literal
18:21
pedestals and saying, yeah, you won the gold medal girl, you did it.
18:25
You go girl like we shouldn't be doing that.
18:27
Now from this story, I kind of have some random thoughts that I wanted to go through.
18:30
And the first is that feminism and transgenderism can never mix ever because what this girls
18:37
making in this blog are some several feminist points.
18:41
And so I'll go back to a couple of the quotes here with every loss it gets harder and harder
18:44
to try again.
18:45
That's a devastating experience.
18:47
It tells me that I'm not good enough that my body isn't good enough and that no matter
18:51
how hard I work, I'm unlikely to succeed because I'm a woman.
18:54
And then a little bit later in the article, she says this, the course decision to do so
18:58
tells women and girls that their feelings and opportunities don't matter and that they
19:02
can't expect anyone to stand up for their dignity in their rights.
19:06
That's wrong.
19:07
And it chips away at women's confidence and our belief in our own abilities, right?
19:11
Because here's the thing, if you ask a feminist, what's a woman?
19:15
The answer is simple.
19:16
They're going to give you a very simple answer, right?
19:19
They're going to say, XX chromosomes, they're going to say biologically a woman presents
19:22
as a woman, sexually a woman, all those things, right?
19:24
And potentially, you know, has all the plumbing to potentially bear a child, all, all those
19:28
things, right?
19:29
The answer is similar, like very, very simple.
19:32
But as a supporter of transgenderism as a worldview and you ask them, what is a woman?
19:37
Everything falls apart.
19:39
Everything falls completely apart because they can't answer the question because there
19:43
is a biological reality to what is a woman or a female, right?
19:48
It's not on a spectrum.
19:50
It's not, well, there's a difference between sex and gender.
19:52
And let's talk about this obscure level of research over here and this little thing that
19:55
this guy wrote back in the '70s that we tend to like and, you know, hinder old worldview
19:59
dawn.
20:00
No, you can't do that.
20:01
Feminism and transgenderism can't live even in the same, the breakdown is LGBTQ+, it doesn't
20:08
belong together.
20:10
Those things are oil and water.
20:12
Another thing I thought about is that if you think having a male body, because I've had
20:16
people argue this, I've heard them argue this, that if you think that having a male body,
20:19
your entire life until your quote unquote transition process provides no physical advantage, you're
20:26
literally a moron.
20:28
You're a dumb dumb.
20:29
You're not a smart person because men, biological men have testosterone.
20:34
They have larger hearts.
20:35
They have bigger muscles.
20:36
They have larger denser bones.
20:38
They have higher red blood cell count, which is better for aerobic advantages and women
20:42
have higher estrogen, which leads to having more fat.
20:45
They're more easily injured, right, especially at some of the weaker joints, right?
20:49
So pretend like there's no advantages is insane because a lot of these proponents will
20:53
be like, no, no, no, no.
20:54
Like these people are on puberty blockers or they're on, you know, testosterone therapy
20:59
or they're on estrogen therapy or they're on these things.
21:01
So that is even the playing field.
21:03
But here's the deal.
21:04
But let's say right now I decided not that I'm going to become a woman because that's
21:07
ridiculous.
21:08
So I'd have to have a part of my brain removed before I even thought about that.
21:11
But let's say I wanted to present myself as a woman that I wanted to go through some
21:15
of these treatments to where I could have much, much lower levels of testosterone, higher levels
21:19
of estrogen, blah, blah, blah.
21:20
And then I wanted to compete in women's jujitsu tournaments.
21:23
I still have 30 plus years of being a man.
21:28
My bones are still my bones.
21:31
My muscles are still my muscles, even if they don't present themselves in the same way.
21:35
It's kind of the argument when you hear guys talk about, it's not really a big deal.
21:38
You know, if people test positive in things like MMA or something like that, because even
21:43
if you get off the juice right before the fight, it's not like all of the positives you've got
21:48
from going on a steroid cycle just disappear, you still have a lot of those residual positives.
21:54
Like for any of you guys that have maybe been injured or something like that.
21:56
So let's say you had, you know, I'm trying to think of a good example, but I had a buddy
22:00
of mine who basically just stopped going to the gym for a long time.
22:03
Very, very good athlete, but stopped going to the gym for a long time.
22:05
Like didn't bench press for over a year, like you never even laid down on a bench.
22:09
And then I took them to my house.
22:10
We walked out in the garage and put 225 on the bench and he put it up for about 12 reps
22:13
before he got bored.
22:14
This is not a big guy.
22:15
This guy weighs about 185 pounds, 190 pounds.
22:17
The thing is his strength was still there.
22:20
Your strength isn't just going to disappear.
22:21
And this isn't a guy that was on steroids.
22:23
It's not the point I'm making.
22:24
I'm basically saying there's a massive advantage for men, obviously.
22:27
And another thought, I guess the last thought I'll get to here on this before we move on
22:31
is if the transgender revolution doesn't end with the full eradication of divisions of
22:39
male and female sports, it is full of crap.
22:43
This entire movement is completely nonsensical, okay?
22:49
Because here's the thing.
22:50
If you're going to argue that there are no biological realities whatsoever to contend
22:54
with, then we need to do away with men's sports and women's sports and just have sports.
23:02
No title nine, no protection for women, none done, finished, finito, none of that.
23:08
But why aren't they pushing for that?
23:11
Why aren't they saying let's not have an NBA and a WNBA?
23:14
Let's just have just, let's even create a new organization, not even call it the NBA.
23:18
Just call it, you know, something else.
23:19
Why don't we just do that?
23:20
And anyone who wants to try out can try out.
23:24
So all of these WNBA players, which I know you guys are huge fans of, right?
23:27
Pick your favorite WNBA player.
23:30
Does she make a roster?
23:31
Well, and at that point, since we're supposed to spending reality, we wouldn't even call
23:36
her a she, we would call her a meh, or just something ridiculous because we would not
23:40
be talking about differences between female and male.
23:44
Why aren't people talking about that?
23:46
Why aren't the people that are on the woke revolution on the transgender revolution talking
23:49
about the full eradication of any separation in the sports?
23:53
Why not?
23:54
There is no difference.
23:55
Right?
23:56
When I actually went, I was talking to one of my buddies and my fox all the other day
23:58
about this.
23:59
And this is what it's actually going to have to happen.
24:01
I want there to be a high school men's basketball player because basketball will probably be
24:05
the easiest way to see this, you know, write up because of how close those, those sports
24:08
are and how many people pay attention to them.
24:10
So a men's high school athlete, right?
24:13
That is highly touted to go to a really big basketball school, Kansas or Duke or UNC
24:18
or something like that.
24:20
And I want that person to say, you know what?
24:23
I could probably do well playing in the NCAA men's divisions.
24:27
But you know what?
24:28
I'm actually a woman.
24:29
I see a track for myself.
24:31
You know, maybe I could have a decent college career, but I don't see a really a track for
24:34
myself in the NBA, but I do want to be a professional athlete someday.
24:37
So my pathway is the WNBA.
24:39
And so I'm actually going to go to Baylor or to OU or to Yukon and I'm going to play
24:44
women's basketball because here's the thing.
24:47
If you're the coach and you don't accept the women's player on your team, if you don't
24:50
even recruit that player, you're a bigot.
24:52
So that player, that boy is going to get hit up by all of the women's teams.
24:57
And I just want to watch that person go off for 85 points and 60 rebounds and 120 blocks
25:04
a game.
25:06
Let's make a mockery of that as a sport.
25:09
I think that that in the thing is, is I don't want that because it would be cruel to the
25:12
women.
25:13
That's the least reason that I would want for that.
25:15
I want that because I want people to see where their ideology goes, that if we extrapolate
25:20
your ideology all the way out to its logical ends to the end points, that's where you're
25:25
going to see something like that.
25:28
And that's in a non-contact sport.
25:29
Basketball is not really a contact sport, but what about these people that are advocating
25:32
it for wrestling, for boxing, for MMA?
25:37
And any of you that listened to Joe Rogan experience, obviously he's talked about Fallon Fox a
25:40
lot.
25:41
This was a person that was presented themselves as a man for 30 years, even father children,
25:45
and then ended up going and transitioning to become a woman.
25:49
And I don't even know was on that many treatments and actually was able to fight women and some
25:52
of these smaller MMA organizations actually broke a woman's orbital bone, right?
25:57
I think it was maybe even her skull, like caved her skull in, right?
26:00
Because there was a man hitting a woman at that point.
26:02
We were all supposed to be like, oh, this is great.
26:04
This is great for women's sports, right?
26:05
But I do want to transition out now.
26:07
I've gone on a bunch of different tangents.
26:09
Hopefully you guys have followed me on a lot of that.
26:11
I want to talk about why this story should matter to you, to you specifically, why this
26:16
story should matter.
26:18
The first reason is that we have to protect our girls and women.
26:22
We have to.
26:24
So for me personally, obviously I just have one kid, oh, I have a son, but you know, my
26:28
wife and I do want to have more kids, it's a potential that we might have a girl someday.
26:32
And I want that girl to play sports.
26:34
That's one thing that my wife and talked and I have talked about is our kids are going
26:38
to have to play sports.
26:39
They can choose to play sports.
26:40
We're not going to be the crazy sports parents, but they have to play sports because the positives
26:44
that come from doing an individual or a team sport are so great, no matter what you end
26:48
up doing in your life, whether you're in business or go into some sort of academia,
26:51
it's going to have positives for you.
26:53
But if there is no place for our girls to play, then what are we doing this for?
27:00
Just think about the women, you know, 80 years ago, 90 years ago, that just wanted the chance
27:04
to play in their own league, a league of their own, if you will, they just wanted that opportunity
27:11
and they got it.
27:13
And here we are 50 years after the beginning of title nine and we're pretending like there's
27:16
no biological difference between boys and girls.
27:20
And that girl, I think that girl that actually wrote that article, Chelsea, I think she is
27:24
actually a collegiate track athlete right now.
27:26
I couldn't find the school or anything like that.
27:28
To be honest, I didn't, I didn't look that much at it, but I think she is actually enrolled
27:31
at a university and as a collegiate athlete now.
27:33
But what if she was a fringe athlete that taking one or two more state titles, would
27:40
have put them over the top and got them recruited and got their schooling paid for, right?
27:45
Almost ensuring a more positive future for themselves.
27:48
What if that was taken away by a boy, a boy that couldn't hack it on the men's team, decided
27:53
to become a girl, to compete against girls, to win and to get scholarships, take away opportunities.
27:59
A lot of you people don't really understand kind of that whole sports recruiting aspect.
28:04
It takes one scout sometimes, like we just always assume that, you know, every kid is,
28:08
you know, Tim Tebow coming out of college where they were offered by like 50 schools
28:11
or something like that.
28:12
That's not really the case for most of these athletes.
28:15
Some of these athletes might get a single offer.
28:17
And so the only decision they have to make in terms of where they, you know, in terms
28:20
of college is, do I go to college or do I not go to college?
28:24
Do I go and play this sport at this school or do I not do that, right?
28:28
So we have to protect those opportunities for our girls and for our women.
28:32
Another reason why this story should matter to you is because we've seen fringe ideologies
28:38
and we've seen how they can become mainstream almost overnight.
28:42
Again, I talk about this all the time.
28:45
We talk about the Overton window 10 years ago.
28:48
We're not even having this discussion.
28:50
That would have been such a nonsensical thing.
28:53
I think that's the third time I've used that word in this podcast.
28:55
But literally it would be so nonsensical at that point to think that, oh yeah, we should
28:59
totally let a boy with long hair race against girls.
29:03
That totally makes sense.
29:05
Now think about where we are.
29:06
If you say that out loud, just imagine if you were to post that on Facebook right now,
29:11
all the comments that you would get, right?
29:12
You would get some people be like, yeah, get them, you know, you know, stand up for truth.
29:15
But then it would be a bunch of people that are just like, Oh my gosh, I can't believe
29:18
you would say something like that, yeah, I wonder what your wife would say.
29:20
Oh my gosh, if your girls heard you talking like this, oh, what a big, what a terrible
29:24
person you are again, not even a decade ago.
29:27
It was fringe.
29:28
It was completely on the outside.
29:30
It's mainstream now.
29:31
And it's not mainstream in the sense that we have this overwhelming population of transgender
29:35
people or people that have gender dysphoria who actually think they're the opposite sex.
29:39
You know, these people that have a mental disorder that needs to be treated, right?
29:43
This just all of a sudden is something that you have to accept whole cloth.
29:47
That's why it should matter to you because it was fringe not that long ago, I talk about
29:50
this all the time.
29:51
And I've talked about this and you've heard people like Matt Walsh talk about this and
29:54
some other commentators.
29:56
This is all kind of paving the way for relationships between adults and minors, right?
30:02
For legal pedophilia.
30:04
Because again, if you extrapolate this out even one or two steps further, if a boy or girl
30:09
can decide whether or not they are a boy or a girl before the age of 18, right?
30:14
So they're a child, right, even as young as maybe four or five, they can decide that
30:17
they're the opposite sex and go through hormone treatments and get surgeries and all that.
30:21
Why can't they then decide who they're going to have sex with?
30:25
Now again, that's not my ideology to any of you that are going to clip this later and
30:28
pretend like I said that.
30:30
I don't believe that at all.
30:31
That's dangerous and evil, but that's where this is going.
30:36
And for those of you that think I'm insane, I want you to clip this on the date that you're
30:40
watching it on, right?
30:41
I want you to remember that I said this because I don't think it's going to be that long until
30:45
we start hearing that as an argument because we're already seeing polyamory.
30:49
We're already seeing people that are talking about, you know, hey, I've got three dads
30:52
and one mom.
30:53
We've already seen stuff like that at certain pockets of the United States, but some form
30:57
of pedophilia, legal pedophilia, it's going to come.
31:00
It has to because of this ideology again, if you're 12 years old, you're a 12 year old
31:05
boy and you think you're a girl, why can't you also be a 12 year old boy and think that
31:10
you can have sex with a 30 year old man or a 30 year old woman?
31:15
Why would that matter, right?
31:17
Because you can choose it again to reiterate.
31:20
I don't believe that at all, but remember when that was a fringe ideology?
31:24
I want you to remember I said that years down the road when that becomes true.
31:26
I hope I'm, I hope I'm wrong more than maybe anything I've ever said.
31:29
I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't think I am.
31:32
Another reason why this story should matter to you is that we've got to be prepared to
31:36
fight against nonsense ideologies that damage people and be willing to use the legal system.
31:42
Okay.
31:43
So that's kind of that next step.
31:44
Obviously, this girl and the other plaintiffs, they probably came from families that were
31:48
of means to even start that legal process.
31:51
And then this got picked up by the ADF and they're kind of pushing this process even
31:55
further, but you have to be willing to use the legal system.
31:58
Now this may not end up being good, right?
32:00
The second circuit court could shut this down.
32:03
It could go all the way to the Supreme court and it could get shut down there.
32:06
And then it's just an issue.
32:07
It's a loss for these girls.
32:08
It's a loss for girls all over the country, but what if it's the exact opposite?
32:13
What if it's upheld in the second circuit?
32:16
What if it does go all the way to the Supreme court and it's not upheld with the second
32:20
circuit?
32:21
What if it is reversed on the second circuit?
32:22
If it goes all the way to the Supreme court, let's say it's reversed and these, you know,
32:25
it's in, you know, it's two thumbs up for the plaintiff, essentially, that's one of those
32:29
things that that has a ripple effect for the entire country.
32:32
And it was because there was a group of people that started with these young teenagers and
32:36
probably their parents and they were willing to challenge just using the legal system.
32:40
We've got to be prepared to do the same thing.
32:43
Another reason why this should be important to you is that we need to vote for and support
32:47
politicians, you know, slash lawmakers that are reasonable and are willing to throw down.
32:53
Right?
32:54
So a good example of that is Florida Republican governor, Ron DeSantis.
32:57
So Ron DeSantis, I'm becoming a big fan of his, right?
33:00
As much as I probably can be of a political candidate and that type of an environment.
33:04
I'm kind of hoping that Trump, you know, just quietly gets out of the way to maybe pave
33:08
the way for someone like Ron DeSantis, because I think he has some of the best qualities
33:11
of a Trump, but he doesn't say as many stupid things out loud, but this is actually an article
33:15
from Ryan Saverdra from the Daily Wire.
33:18
So I'm going to read just the first few paragraphs of this because this just happened today as
33:22
of the recording of this.
33:23
It'll be released a few days later, but on June the 1st, Florida Republican governor,
33:26
Ron DeSantis kicked off the start of Pride Month by signing a bill into law, the Fairness
33:30
and Women's Sports Act that protects female athletes from having to compete against biological
33:35
males.
33:36
We believe in the state of Florida of protecting the fairness and the integrity of women's
33:39
athletics, DeSantis said, and I can tell you this in Florida, you know, girls are going
33:43
to play girls sports and boys are going to play boy sports.
33:47
And that's what we're doing.
33:48
We're going to make sure that that's the reality.
33:51
So the bill that we're doing today will ensure fairness and women's athletes for years to
33:55
come in the state of Florida.
33:56
It says that the athletic teams or sports that are designated for females are open to
34:00
females and we're going to be based off biology.
34:03
The bill defines a student's biological sex based on the student's official birth certificate
34:07
at the time of birth to Santa's continued.
34:10
And as part of the bill we're signing today, we're not only making sure women have opportunities
34:14
for scholarships and competition at the highest level, we're also putting in statutes away
34:18
in statute ways to actually vindicate the rights of any women athletes who may be discriminated
34:23
against.
34:24
And moving forward, any student who's deprived of an athletic opportunity as a result of
34:28
a violation of this law will have the right to civil remedies.
34:32
Any school or public post secondary institution that suffers direct or indirect harm as a
34:36
result of a violation of this bill, including by a government entity accredited organization
34:41
or athletic association can also pursue civil remedies.
34:45
Any students who is subject to retaliation as a result of reporting a violation of this
34:49
bill can also pursue civil remedies.
34:52
Okay.
34:53
So this is round of Santas that is saying, Hey, we're drawing a line and stand here state
34:58
of Florida.
34:59
We're not going to stand for this.
35:00
Okay.
35:01
Well, we're not going to, we're not going to mess with all this nonsense.
35:03
We're going to put it into it.
35:05
And this is somewhat political theater, but he does it on the first day of pride month,
35:08
right?
35:09
So he is saying, bring me your arrows, right?
35:13
Shoot on my way.
35:14
I don't care.
35:15
We were standing up for what's right.
35:16
So, but again, Ron DeSantis was voted in.
35:19
He didn't just become the governor of Florida.
35:21
He had to be voted in.
35:23
So this is a reasonable human being that is willing to stand up for reason.
35:26
I think that's important.
35:27
Another reason why this should be important to you guys is that in this really relates
35:30
to the last thing I just talked about, is that you are quickly going to have to decide
35:34
where you will raise and educate your children.
35:36
If you haven't already, a lot of people have already moved out of some of these more liberal
35:40
states, mainly because of the stuff they were doing during the lockdowns or things like that.
35:44
But a lot of these decisions that you're going to have to make may not even come down
35:47
to just the state you're going to be living in, it may come down to the county and maybe
35:51
even the city that you're living in, because you're going to have cities that are separated
35:56
by a couple of miles that are going to have completely different ways of viewing things
35:59
like this.
36:00
And you're going to have to decide, am I going to let my kids be around stuff like that?
36:05
Am I going to let my kids potentially lose out on opportunities because of what's going
36:10
on in the minds of a few intellectuals that are in this one little community?
36:14
Right?
36:15
Also, this is just another call to action for you guys to don't be asleep at the will.
36:19
If you have your kids in public school, because I know for some of you don't have the option
36:22
of private school, but if you have your kids in public school, right?
36:26
You got to make sure you know who their teachers are.
36:28
You got to make sure you know what the principal thinks.
36:30
You got to make sure you know who's on the school board.
36:32
You got to make sure you know who the mayor is and who the local representatives are.
36:36
All those things matter because all of a sudden, if your kids 17 and competing in a
36:41
particular sport and all of the wins of change have not moved in your direction, well, guess
36:46
what, you can't get them out of office quick enough before your kid misses out on that
36:50
opportunity.
36:51
And so for all of us, we have to make those decisions.
36:53
For me, I've got a one year old.
36:55
I only got a few years to kind of really decide kind of where we're going to start his educational
36:59
journey and what that's going to look like in my community.
37:02
We're not going to be dealing with what people are dealing with in, you know, Seattle or Portland
37:05
or, you know, California, San Francisco, New York City or something like that, but we're
37:09
still going to have to deal with some of those things and I got to be ready for it.
37:12
And the last thing in this is what we'll end on is that this new story is obviously about
37:17
more than sports.
37:18
That's why this should be important to you.
37:20
It's about more than sports.
37:21
It is about truth in general because this might seem like just a story about a single
37:27
athlete in a state that no one's visited, right, or no one's really been to, but that's not
37:32
what this is.
37:33
That's not what this is at all.
37:35
This is about what are we standing up for as a society because this girl is a real victim
37:41
of horrible ideologies, broken ideologies.
37:45
Again, she said in her article, I don't know what opportunities I missed out on because
37:50
I was competing against boys and I missed out on multiple state championships that I
37:54
would have won.
37:55
I missed out on multiple meets where I should have been competing, but I didn't because
37:58
I didn't qualify and so did the people that were around me.
38:02
It's about truth because there is truth.
38:05
There are people with XX chromosomes.
38:07
I'm talking about the majority of people here, the overwhelming majority.
38:09
They either have XX chromosomes or they have XY.
38:13
They're either female or male.
38:15
That's it.
38:16
There's not a spectrum in between those two things.
38:18
There are two realities and if you have a human being that is struggling because they
38:23
think they're the opposite sex, the correct response is not to say you're probably right.
38:28
Let's give you pills.
38:29
You're probably right.
38:30
Let's cut off your penis.
38:31
You're probably right.
38:32
Let's get rid of your boobs.
38:33
That should not be your response.
38:35
You should have a very empathetic response to this person.
38:38
You should want to help them out.
38:39
You are not helping them by playing into their fantasy, by playing into whatever broken thing
38:44
is going on inside their brain.
38:45
That person needs treatment.
38:46
They need help and I've been called a transphobe for saying that people that have gender dysphoria
38:51
need help, but that's exactly what they need.
38:55
You don't play in to what they're saying, especially if it could potentially lead to
39:00
irrevocable harm for that person.
39:03
You don't do it.
39:04
So guys, we got to be ready.
39:06
