00:00:34 Well, Kim and Marshy, thanks for joining the Riley Gaines Show. 0.94
00:00:38 You guys are like the most dynamic duo when it comes to protecting women's sports and common sense.
00:00:46 Both of you and I think the evolution of the movement and even you both personally over the past few years has just been something that has inspired me.
00:00:56 You both were just in Washington, D.C.
00:01:00 Kim, you just testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
00:01:03 Can you kind of walk us through the hearing itself?
00:01:06 What was the purpose?
00:01:07 Who were some of the other witnesses and what you were there to say?
00:01:11 OK, so Carly Smolak, who was a former she's a former professional soccer player who played.
00:01:19 She was a contemporary of, you know, a lot of the names that you recognize today for soccer players.
00:01:24 would know, Julie Foudy, Megan Rapinoe. She played at Stanford for four years, was a starting
00:01:30 goalkeeper, and then went on and played pros for a few years. And then when she retired from
00:01:35 professional soccer, she found Australian Rules Football, where she had a wonderful experience,
00:01:42 won a whole bunch of national titles, represented the US going overseas, and then ran into a man,
00:01:50 a man joining her team and found out that he was a convicted child sex offender who had been
00:01:57 sentenced to over 40 years in prison for some pretty heinous, not pretty heinous, very heinous
00:02:03 deeds. And now he was identifying as a woman. That's right. And he went through his whole, 0.92
00:02:09 I am a woman phase when he was in prison. So coming out then immediately joined a women's 0.96
00:02:14 soccer team and had access to women and their children while they were traveling and playing. 0.94
00:02:18 and the league was doing nothing to protect the women.
00:02:22 So she got very fired up about that
00:02:25 as of course, also very common sense,
00:02:28 uses logic and reason.
00:02:29 And so she was there to share her story
00:02:32 and speak as an expert from the perspective of women in sport
00:02:36 and also like what it was like growing up
00:02:39 as a female athlete in her youth,
00:02:42 the opportunities sports gave her 0.92
00:02:43 and how those would have been just stymied 0.87
00:02:48 if she'd had to run into the things that we know girls and women are facing all over the country 1.00
00:02:53 right now. Now, Marsha, you were sat right behind Kim when I was watching the C-SPAN footage. I got 0.99
00:02:59 to see you too. I think most notably about this hearing, or at least kind of what has attracted
00:03:05 a lot of attention on social media is the fact that 10 Democrats sit on this committee. Senator
00:03:11 Dick Durbin came in. He read an opening statement calling the topic a total distraction from what
00:03:18 voters actually care about. And then he left. The other senators, Democratic senators, didn't show
00:03:24 up. Not one Democrat asked a witness a single question. Did you all expect this to be the case?
00:03:33 Do we know why they didn't show up beyond what Senator Dick Durbin said? And do we think there's
00:03:37 a broader message that is being sent here, especially to women, especially to young girls,
00:03:43 when you have an entire political party in terms of elected representation who can't even bother
00:03:50 to stay in a room. You know, walking into this really grand and beautiful room in the Senate,
00:03:57 not knowing what to expect, and then watching the clock sitting next to all these beautiful,
00:04:05 young, well-spoken female athletes, some as young as high school, there to participate 0.84
00:04:14 in the process of our government and communicate in desperation, really, to our nation's senators
00:04:21 what they're going through and how they want our elected officials to help them.
00:04:28 And I'm looking at the clock and I'm like, well, this hearing is supposed to start right
00:04:34 now. And half of the seats in the committee were empty. And I'm like, are we delayed? What's going
00:04:43 on? Lo and behold, as we all saw, actually, Senator Klobuchar sat there briefly, never really looked
00:04:53 up once, I think, the whole time she was on her computer or phone. And then Senator Durbin
00:05:02 was there only to deliver the message that it was so incredibly unimportant to the Democrat leaders
00:05:10 that they were not going to ask any witnesses there. They were not going to ask any questions.
00:05:15 They were not going to engage whatsoever at such an unimportant hearing where girls and women were
00:05:27 really pouring their hearts out to ask for help. And there are so many thousands and thousands of
00:05:35 women across the country affected by this. They have their own daughters or granddaughters
00:05:41 in sports confronting men and boys in every sport at every single level. And for those senators
00:05:49 on the Democratic side to say, we don't care about this at all over any other issue.
00:05:56 It was so insulting. And I was sad. I was really sad as a mom of a girl just starting in sports
00:06:05 and sad for our country, because this is a top of mind issue to all Americans. This is even
00:06:13 Democrat voters, the constituents of these senators say, we care about women and girls
00:06:21 in sports and we care if they're mistreated. And for them to just dismiss it, to be honest,
00:06:27 I think it's fear. It's not that they recognize that people don't care about it at all. It's
00:06:35 they're scared to death because the leadership in the party has decided, taking the wrong stance
00:06:43 on this. And they're afraid to face the American people and to hear what are the ramifications for
00:06:51 their terrible policies that are allowing boys and men in girls sports. And so they fled and
00:06:58 they can't confront it. This is a top priority for, I would say, a majority of voters. Maybe
00:07:05 there are some people who think they don't have to worry about this because they don't have a
00:07:08 daughter who's competing actively. Here's what I will say to that. You don't have to have a
00:07:13 daughter who's competing because this issue is bigger than just this topic. I think this is a
00:07:18 perfect litmus test on if your elected official is willing to lie to you. Why would you believe
00:07:25 a word that comes out of someone's mouth, regardless of what the topic is, if that person 0.51
00:07:32 is willing to say that men can get pregnant and that women need prostate exams and that tampons
00:07:36 belong in boys' bathrooms. Why would you trust anything they say on any topic? I think this is
00:07:41 the ultimate litmus test that every single elected official especially should have to answer before
00:07:47 deciding if they qualify to serve in this capacity. Now, Kim, you said in your testimony, you said the
00:07:55 concept of gender identity is in direct conflict with the objective reality of sex, and you have
00:08:00 to choose one. Perfectly stated, but can you spell this out? Why can't the law protect both?
00:08:07 There are plenty of states that have both sex and gender identity as protected classes in their state
00:08:13 constitution. So are you saying you cannot protect both of these groups from discrimination as
00:08:19 these laws say? Elaborate on what you mean here. Not in the same place at the same time. You
00:08:26 definitely can't. You have to choose one. So I can't, you know, you have a girls sports team.
00:08:33 It's been set aside for girls. I can protect the spots on that team for the young girls who want
00:08:38 to play, or I can choose to protect that spot for the boy who believes he's a girl or who believes
00:08:44 he's entitled to one of those places. And the same thing is true for locker rooms. I can either
00:08:49 protect the girls for whom that area was designated so that they can undress and change
00:08:56 in a state of safety and comfort, believing that they are surrounded only by members of
00:09:01 the female sex, or I can protect the right of men to enter that space and violate the
00:09:06 safety and sanctity of that space for women. 0.99
00:09:09 It's true for prisons. 0.99
00:09:11 I mean, it's true for anything designated for women.
00:09:14 So it comes down to a language issue. When you give men the right to call themselves women, then you strip away the right of women to advocate for their unique needs and experiences apart from men.
00:09:29 They're just conflicting ideologies. 0.76
00:09:32 I mean, gender identity is a conflicting ideology with sex, which is an objective truth. 0.97
00:09:38 We can measure it. 0.99
00:09:39 We see it.
00:09:40 We recognize it.
00:09:41 It's the foundation for life and why all of us are here today able to talk and breathe.
00:09:48 So there is no way to square that hole.
00:09:52 Like you can't, you can't do both of them.
00:09:56 Yeah, they are.
00:09:56 they're in direct conflict with one another. Inevitably, and we've seen this for years now,
00:10:03 it's the most frustrating thing, discourse we see online by those who I do believe
00:10:09 know better. Whether it's saying that we need genital inspections, that's what we're advocating
00:10:16 for, is grown men to ask young girls to pull down their pants so we can inspect their genitals.
00:10:21 Can you guys just debunk this, please? No one is advocating for this. No one wants a genital
00:10:29 inspection. So when you see this discourse online, how do you respond to this and what
00:10:34 actually are we advocating for, Marshy? So what's so ironic is that they're harping
00:10:43 no genital exams in women's sports, while they're also saying we want to force grown men 0.51
00:10:51 into locker rooms and showers with little girls after swim practice or after volleyball with
00:11:00 high school athletes. So it's so disingenuous. It's fear-mongering to the umpteenth degree
00:11:10 because what women are asking for is actually going back to something we used to do even at 0.98
00:11:18 the Olympic Games, which was cheek swabbing athletes who wanted to participate in the female 1.00
00:11:24 category. So this was done decades ago. Thankfully, the IOC is now reversing itself
00:11:32 and becoming the leader that they are supposed to be by reinstituting a simple cheek swab.
00:11:40 It's very cheap. It's easy, non-invasive. I had a two-year-old during COVID who I had to shove
00:11:48 a, you know, Q-tip up to tickle his brain in order to, you know, get on a flight to go and 0.83
00:11:56 see my parents to prove, you know, his COVID test. And yet we are not willing to just swab
00:12:05 a woman's mouth to determine that she's in the right category. It's really imperative now 0.82
00:12:14 That we are seeing, you know, plastic surgery advances, kids who have tragically been medicalized at such a young age that they are participating in women's sports, quote unquote, stealth because they're able to pass as women and girls, however, are experiencing, you know, state championship once in a lifetime athlete accolade titles given to them.
00:12:43 because they're performing, understandably, at a much higher level than genetic females.
00:12:50 And so this is the next frontier for the protection of women's sports, 1.00
00:12:56 cheek swabbing in order to protect our women and girls and to uphold the laws that we do have in 1.00
00:13:04 place. To suggest that you have a sports category for which there is no eligibility criteria other
00:13:11 than personal declaration is crazy. It's a non-category then because it's a completely
00:13:18 permeable boundary. And the reason we have people do drug testing, step on scales, make sure that
00:13:23 they're the right age, make sure they live in the right district, that they are citizens of a
00:13:28 certain country is to make sure that they are eligible for the category that they are competing
00:13:33 in. And that is, has to be the same case for the women's category. We've got to make sure that it 1.00
00:13:39 is a boundaried category to allow for female athletes to compete fairly and safely. 0.98
00:13:47 So, yeah, the sex screening thing is quite easy.
00:13:50 And I want to also say that to your listeners that every single young athlete in America
00:13:57 in middle school through high school has to go through a pre-participation physical right
00:14:02 now for Clarence to participate in school sports that every doctor knows your sex, especially
00:14:09 if they know your medical history, which you are by law required to provide.
00:14:13 So a cheek swab is, again, simple, easy, and it is complete, for the SRY gene, it's
00:14:20 completely accurate.
00:14:22 So yeah, we need to go for that.
00:14:24 But as far as what the USOPC is doing, contrary to the IOC, they are not installing or are
00:14:32 beginning cheek swabs for eligibility and registration for USOPC organizations.
00:14:38 And it's that USOPC is U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee.
00:14:42 It's an umbrella organization that oversees all Olympic sport in the U.S.
00:14:47 And we have men and boys competing under that Olympic umbrella, under their governance, in the women and girls category across the board and at the highest levels.
00:14:58 With just, was it now three or four weeks ago, we had a male athlete who just started cycling 18 months ago competitively.
00:15:07 We provided icons, provided the information necessary to the USA Cycling to say this is a male athlete in violation of their written policy.
00:15:18 And they continued to elevate him through the ranks until finally about three or four weeks ago, they gave him an international license to compete at a UCI event,
00:15:30 the most prestigious event on U.S. soil in the last decade
00:15:34 where he would be competing against Olympic gold medalists.

00:16:07 um and so that's i mean it's just an appalling or embarrassing state of affairs for our olympic
00:16:17 committee to not be holding accountable doing their job to hold accountable their national
00:16:24 governing bodies to uphold the rules and policies not just of the united states but of the
00:16:29 international sports communities so we have they've got to start doing their job and they
00:16:36 have got to start requiring the policy to be enforced, not just written in words, which is
00:16:42 what we're seeing across the board right now. Do you think the Trump administration knows about
00:16:47 this? Because when it comes to the Olympics, especially LA, 2028, President Trump and his
00:16:55 administration has been very clear, like, there will be no men competing in women's sports. So
00:17:00 do you think that they know the USOPC isn't adhering to the guidelines that the IOC has set
00:17:07 and certainly that we've seen kind of laid out from President Trump and his administration?
00:17:13 Because I imagine they would not be overly thrilled if they knew the USOPC was doing this.
00:17:19 And they would force their hand because up until this point, they've done a pretty good job of
00:17:25 that. I think there, of course, could be a case made about the NCAA and how maybe the Trump
00:17:31 administration believed them to be following guidelines, but that's a separate conversation.
00:17:36 Do you think they know about what the USOPC is doing?
00:17:40 Marcia, I think we're a little confused right now. We have notified high-level
00:17:48 government officials about what's happening. I don't know that they know the extent to which
00:17:56 it's happening. So I do believe that there are, I mean, this is kind of speculation though, Riley,
00:18:02 I believe that there are the people who are in charge of taking their big stick to hold the US
00:18:10 OPC accountable as it is a federally chartered institution, even though it doesn't receive
00:18:14 federal funding, it exists at the pleasure and discrimination of the U of Congress of the
00:18:21 government. So we have told people, you know, what's happening, but the enforcement is not
00:18:28 coming down from the top at the USOPC. So it's unclear at this point, what conversations are
00:18:34 happening. Yes, I wish they would be stronger. I wish they would be faster. But I, Marcia,
00:18:41 Do you have anything to add to that? I'm not 100% clear.
00:18:44 I would say they are aware to an extent, but Kim and I, and one of the reasons Kim was sitting in the Senate last week is to raise major alarm bells.
00:19:02 the American people also, you know, we we've gained wins, certainly, especially since the
00:19:11 Trump administration has been so focused on trying to help women and girls in sports.
00:19:17 We are seeing wins like at the Olympic Committee, like with keeping men out of women's sports
00:19:23 executive order, like we've seen for a couple of years now, which is great. But every time
00:19:30 we celebrate a win, a large part of the population believes it's over. So even when your sport
00:19:39 changes its policy in name and word only, parents, you need to hold these people's feet to the fire
00:19:50 and go to the media and talk about what you're experiencing and out them because the pressure
00:19:56 at this point is what is changing policy and awareness. It's not the people in the leadership
00:20:06 chair, because depending on who is sitting on that board, they are some of the biggest trans
00:20:12 activists we've ever encountered, our board members within these sports. This is why we have
00:20:18 come to this mass problem across sports. And so parents and voters and individuals,
00:20:27 we have got to rise up and start talking about this and demanding people do something about it
00:20:34 to rectify this right now. Because can you imagine when President Trump is out of the Oval Office,
00:20:41 who that next seat could be occupied by.
00:20:45 And if we don't get permanent protection right now,
00:20:50 all of this can be undone with a strike of a pen.
00:20:55 Your Uncle Dale is the undisputed king of hot takes.
00:20:58 Buffalo, they're a lock because his barber said so.
00:21:01 Don't listen to Dale.
00:21:02 Go with the score bet.

00:21:26 Electrolyte brands are everywhere,
00:21:28 so I get the skepticism,
00:21:29 but Relight stood out to me
00:21:30 because it starts with the source.
00:21:32 It's made by Redmond,
00:21:34 the company behind Redmond Real Salt,
00:21:36 which has been mined in Utah since 1958
00:21:38 from an ancient Jurassic-era seabed.
00:21:41 So instead of processed sodium, you get unrefined real salt
00:21:44 with sodium, chloride, and 60-plus trace minerals.
00:21:49 The formula stays clean from there.
00:21:50 So that means zero sugar, no artificial sweeteners,
00:21:53 no artificial colors, no artificial flavors,
00:21:55 and no chemical preservatives.
00:21:57 You also get potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride,
00:22:00 and coconut water powder in the flavored varieties.
00:22:04 I like to use it before my workouts.
00:22:05 I use it while traveling during a fast or on busy days.
00:22:10 It tastes balanced.
00:22:11 It doesn't taste too salty or too sweet.
00:22:13 My favorite flavor is actually the watermelon lime.
00:22:17 It is so good.

00:22:31 i i have been so frustrated going into the midterms i understand there are people who feel
00:22:39 as if um the administration hasn't done or accomplished everything that they said they
00:22:44 were going to do or they're frustrated with gas prices again valid to feel that level of
00:22:50 frustration if some of the things you were hoping to be accomplished haven't yet been accomplished
00:22:54 but it would be so ignorant to sit this one out, to not vote in the midterm election because you
00:23:02 feel disenfranchised or whatever it is when you consider what the alternative is.
00:23:09 Ask yourself, would your life be better under Kamala Harris? Oh my gosh, I can't even imagine
00:23:16 what that would look like, especially in regards to these types of topics. And to your point about
00:23:24 sounding the alarms, there was a new study that came out, I guess, research that had been
00:23:29 conducted by Concerned Women for America, CWA. And in this study, it concluded that 2,293 first
00:23:37 place finishes, they call stolen gold medals in U.S. women's and girls events have been taken by
00:23:43 men. Over half a million dollars in prize money taken from professional women events
00:23:48 since the mid-1980s by men identifying as women. In California, they had 611 first place
00:23:57 displacements. That's just in one state alone. 14,301 female category events entered by men.
00:24:04 You still have people who say this isn't really happening. Do you think this report is enough
00:24:11 to combat that? And it's important to mention also that this is just what's being reported
00:24:17 and recorded and what can be verified. Kim, would you say the number is higher than even what's been
00:24:23 shown here? Oh, yeah. No matter even, so I was just gonna, I was pulling up something I want
00:24:30 to read to you that expands on those numbers a little bit. But these are the numbers of people
00:24:37 we have been able to track, those of us invested in trying to verify whether or not girls are
00:24:44 having their opportunities and rewards stolen by boys. So we know that the number is higher than
00:24:52 this because so many go unreported, like vastly higher. We have tons of data that we are still
00:24:59 sifting through and trying to verify. But let me just read. I think that report was talking about
00:25:04 gold medals, 22 gold medals. And boys have won over 4,000 competitions and team matches
00:25:15 meant for female athletes at the K through 12 level. That is 4,000 times that a girl or an
00:25:21 entire team has had to lose to a boy in what is supposed to be a girl's only sport. 3,000 of those
00:25:28 4,000 were team matches, meaning 3,000 times a girl was sitting on a bench while a boy
00:25:35 played in her place on the field instead.
00:25:38 They have displaced 2,807 major top three medals and stolen at least 90 state championship
00:25:47 titles.
00:25:49 So those are the numbers we are aware of at the present time.
00:25:53 They grow every day.
00:25:54 Every day we uncover more research.
00:25:56 And even in states where there are policies or laws that are supposed to help us understand the numbers or protect girls, like in Michigan, there is a policy that if you are a boy and you want to participate on a girls team, that you have to submit for a waiver to participate on that.
00:26:17 we have found several boys in the last couple years during this policy who are playing on
00:26:25 girls' teams. And we know they're boys. We've verified it 100%. And they are not submitting.
00:26:31 They don't believe they have to follow the policy. It's as if this is a group of people
00:26:35 that the rules don't apply for. And even in states where there are laws protecting the girls,
00:26:42 We know about the volleyball player in Florida, but we also know of ones in Ohio and in Texas.
00:26:48 We have watched administrators interviewed to say, oh, here's the loopholes.
00:26:54 Here's how we can help get your boy through the cracks.
00:26:56 Like the cheek swab is the bulletproof way to say you have to be eligible because otherwise
00:27:02 we get individual activists like we have at the head of USA Hockey, USA Rugby, USA Volleyball,
00:27:10 USA Weightlifting.
00:27:11 We have activists who are just saying, rules don't really work for us here.
00:27:18 We're not going to uphold them.
00:27:20 And I thought that was a profound statement from one of the fathers who got up at the
00:27:26 press conference following the hearing saying, and I also think to your point, Riley, about
00:27:31 this being a low bar in society, a judge of whether or not someone can tell the truth,
00:27:37 is honest, and can speak objective facts that we're able to reason and logic with,
00:27:42 the father got up and said, how is my daughter supposed to trust in any system? How am I supposed
00:27:49 to trust in any system where the rules are arbitrary? They just don't apply because she 0.98
00:27:54 was born female. And I think that's a poignant thought that we're just dismissing truth. We're
00:28:01 dismissing written policy. We are saying girls, we can violate the rules for girls if we want to 0.97
00:28:10 preference a boy. Last thing for you guys, you guys have been backing federal cases against the
00:28:18 NCAA. Senator Hawley spent his time at that hearing hounding the NCAA, which he has been so
00:28:25 strong on this issue and across the board when it comes to parental rights and free speech and
00:28:31 and freedom of religion like he has been one of the greatest if not the greatest that we have in
00:28:37 washington dc i believe and especially when it comes to pressing the ncaa over the the years now
00:28:44 but he spent his his time doing just that and you guys are racking these cases against the
00:28:49 ncaa we've talked about or we alluded to the gains versus ncaa case but there are several others
00:28:55 Um, where do those stand and how can people who are watching or listening, how can they support
00:29:01 you all and your efforts and support these cases? Um, I'm going to, I'm going to kick it to Kim,
00:29:08 but I just wanted to say, thank God for Senator Hawley. Um, I got the front row seats in the
00:29:16 hearing to hear him so forcefully say and expose the NCAA for their violation of you yourself,
00:29:26 but thousands of other female athletes across the country in many more states and sports than
00:29:33 just swimming in Georgia with Leah Thomas. He exposed them for the frauds that they are 1.00
00:29:41 because they're in court right now battling against you 0.97
00:29:45 and dozens of other women in court trying to say 0.99
00:29:49 that we do not have to comply with Title IX 1.00
00:29:51 and we didn't do anything wrong
00:29:54 by forcing these men into your locker rooms
00:29:57 and onto your teams 0.99
00:29:58 and even giving them women scholarships. 1.00
00:30:01 So you can go pound sand is what they're telling you 1.00
00:30:04 and many other women in court today 1.00
00:30:07 while they're trying to get, you know, 1.00
00:30:11 anti-trust exemption from the American people
00:30:15 to violate laws in perpetuity 1.00
00:30:18 and make it harder for women to fight back in the law 0.98
00:30:22 when they are discriminated against. 0.92
00:30:26 Private student loan debt in the U.S. is around $300 billion
00:30:29 with A-B U.S. dollars,
00:30:32 and roughly $45 billion of that is considered distress.
00:30:35 For a lot of people, that means one thing.
00:30:37 feeling stuck with no light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe the payments are too high. Maybe
00:30:42 a co-signer is still on the hook. Maybe every refinance option keeps ending in a no. That's
00:30:48 where Y-Refi comes in. Y-Refi, they help refinance distressed and defaulted private student loans,
00:30:53 and they look beyond a traditional credit score. They offer personalized solutions,
00:30:57 flexible repayment options, one-on-one support, and in some cases, even the chance to release
00:31:02 eligible co-signers from the loan. Your student loan debt does not, and it should not define
00:31:07 your future. If you have been carrying this burden and you don't know what to do next,
00:31:11 you don't know what that next step is, Why Refi could be the first real step towards relief.
00:31:17 You can see whether you qualify at whyrefi.com or you can call today. A better financial future
00:31:23 could start with just one conversation. I'm sure you are the same as I am, Riley. I had no idea
00:31:32 when we worked to try to file those cases in federal court, what the federal court system
00:31:37 looked like, what that process looked like. How long and drawn out and appeals and 30 days here
00:31:44 and 90 days here. Yeah. So there is a level of, of confusion on, on where these things stand,
00:31:51 the timeline of them, what's actually even being decided on. But I think it's intentional,
00:31:57 Right. Like it feels intentionally confusing and draining, draining financially, emotionally, the output, I guess, there.
00:32:06 So in terms of finances and such, is that something that your everyday person, if they feel convicted to contribute to, is that something, number one, that's needed and that is possible to be done?
00:32:19 Yes, we need financial support. And it's critically important that these cases stay alive, even because they are the best chance that women have right now in federal court to secure legal protections.
00:32:34 And as Marshy said earlier, we need those permanent legal protections.
00:32:38 Right now, everything is temporary.
00:32:40 And we just got a huge lesson in that in the state of Virginia with Governor Spaniger overturning
00:32:45 the protections that the girls in that state spent years advocating for and had to really
00:32:51 suffer through, you know, their own situation with a man trying to join a women's team and
00:32:57 entering their locker rooms.
00:32:59 And it destroyed their team.
00:33:01 It destroyed their years in college.
00:33:02 And they put that on the side in order to be able to uphold this policy and now it's gone. So we've got to get legal victories in court to secure women's rights. We absolutely need funding. We are fighting this. We filed these cases believing that the American people wanted to see women win in court and that when we filed, they would come to support the girls that were brave enough to put their necks on the line. 1.00
00:33:31 We are managing to keep them barely afloat right now, but we need support.
00:33:37 So financial support is critical.
00:33:39 If anyone is interested in making sure these court cases can stay alive, please reach out
00:33:44 to us at iconswomen.com.
00:33:47 You can reach through you or through Marshy or me.
00:33:51 We'll get everyone hooked up.
00:33:53 These court cases are the only offensive court cases in the U.S. right now where we are trying 0.99
00:34:00 to strike down policies across the country that allow men into women's sports and women's 0.56
00:34:05 locker rooms.
00:34:06 And as you know all too well, Riley, there's half of the nation's girls just in school 0.99
00:34:11 and in college are unprotected right now and are still actively going through losing their
00:34:18 opportunities and suffering through these events where men are taking their places on
00:34:25 teams and their medals.
00:34:26 Um, it is really important to recognize that men are suing on the other side.
00:34:34 So we have, we, our organization with you has three federal court cases.
00:34:38 The men, I think have eight or nine right now.
00:34:42 And they're always so well funded.
00:34:44 And they are grossly funded. 0.79
00:34:46 So it just, I mean, lots of people, but Mackenzie Bezos,
00:34:50 $45 million into funding those male athletes.
00:34:54 So we need financial support from the other side. I wish that we could put court cases out there for every woman that calls us and says they want.
00:35:03 We need to be littering the country with court cases. 0.99
00:35:06 Well, we certainly see wins happening legislatively. And I think when we're talking about shifting public opinion, but you have to have wins in the courtroom ultimately to set the precedent.
00:35:20 Um, so thank you guys. And, and, and to hold people accountable, otherwise the whole slap
00:35:26 on the wrist kind of enforcement mechanism that, that we've seen thus far, it just doesn't work
00:35:33 when you are dealing with activists, as you, you put it, which I think is, is, um, maybe even an
00:35:40 understatement. These people are worse than activists. It is their life mission to further
00:35:46 gender ideology to harm women um and children weirdly enough so thank you guys for doing what 0.67
00:35:52 you do for backing the cases for testifying and for for alerting the public um to things that 0.89
00:35:58 otherwise they would think we're on the winning side of and while again we have seen wins and we
00:36:02 should celebrate those there's a lot of work to do so thank you guys
