00:00:27.960 Standard message and iterates may apply.

00:00:34.620 Well, Kim and Marshy, thanks for joining the Riley Gaines Show.

00:00:38.240 You guys are like the most dynamic duo when it comes to protecting women's sports and common sense.

00:00:46.660 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.

00:00:56.940 You both were just in Washington, D.C.

00:01:00.420 Kim, you just testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

00:01:03.700 Can you kind of walk us through the hearing itself?

00:01:06.320 What was the purpose?

00:01:07.840 Who were some of the other witnesses and what you were there to say?

00:01:11.300 OK, so Carly Smolak, who was a former she's a former professional soccer player who played.

00:01:19.040 She was a contemporary of, you know, a lot of the names that you recognize today for soccer players.

00:01:24.580 would know, Julie Foudy, Megan Rapinoe. She played at Stanford for four years, was a starting

00:01:30.860 goalkeeper, and then went on and played pros for a few years. And then when she retired from

00:01:35.900 professional soccer, she found Australian Rules Football, where she had a wonderful experience,

00:01:42.980 won a whole bunch of national titles, represented the US going overseas, and then ran into a man,

00:01:50.520 a man joining her team and found out that he was a convicted child sex offender who had been

00:01:57.860 sentenced to over 40 years in prison for some pretty heinous, not pretty heinous, very heinous

00:02:03.020 deeds. And now he was identifying as a woman. That's right. And he went through his whole,

00:02:09.100 I am a woman phase when he was in prison. So coming out then immediately joined a women's

00:02:14.820 soccer team and had access to women and their children while they were traveling and playing.

00:02:18.960 and the league was doing nothing to protect the women.

00:02:22.740 So she got very fired up about that

00:02:25.480 as of course, also very common sense,

00:02:28.340 uses logic and reason.

00:02:29.620 And so she was there to share her story

00:02:32.140 and speak as an expert from the perspective of women in sport

00:02:36.740 and also like what it was like growing up

00:02:39.480 as a female athlete in her youth,

00:02:42.160 the opportunities sports gave her

00:02:43.820 and how those would have been just stymied

00:02:48.260 if she'd had to run into the things that we know girls and women are facing all over the country

00:02:53.020 right now. Now, Marsha, you were sat right behind Kim when I was watching the C-SPAN footage. I got

00:02:59.200 to see you too. I think most notably about this hearing, or at least kind of what has attracted

00:03:05.180 a lot of attention on social media is the fact that 10 Democrats sit on this committee. Senator

00:03:11.480 Dick Durbin came in. He read an opening statement calling the topic a total distraction from what

00:03:18.660 voters actually care about. And then he left. The other senators, Democratic senators, didn't show

00:03:24.080 up. Not one Democrat asked a witness a single question. Did you all expect this to be the case?

00:03:33.240 Do we know why they didn't show up beyond what Senator Dick Durbin said? And do we think there's

00:03:37.960 a broader message that is being sent here, especially to women, especially to young girls,

00:03:43.760 when you have an entire political party in terms of elected representation who can't even bother

00:03:50.500 to stay in a room. You know, walking into this really grand and beautiful room in the Senate,

00:03:57.580 not knowing what to expect, and then watching the clock sitting next to all these beautiful,

00:04:05.180 young, well-spoken female athletes, some as young as high school, there to participate

00:04:14.040 in the process of our government and communicate in desperation, really, to our nation's senators

00:04:21.260 what they're going through and how they want our elected officials to help them.

00:04:28.900 And I'm looking at the clock and I'm like, well, this hearing is supposed to start right

00:04:34.080 now. And half of the seats in the committee were empty. And I'm like, are we delayed? What's going

00:04:43.960 on? Lo and behold, as we all saw, actually, Senator Klobuchar sat there briefly, never really looked

00:04:53.140 up once, I think, the whole time she was on her computer or phone. And then Senator Durbin

00:05:02.400 was there only to deliver the message that it was so incredibly unimportant to the Democrat leaders

00:05:10.820 that they were not going to ask any witnesses there. They were not going to ask any questions.

00:05:15.960 They were not going to engage whatsoever at such an unimportant hearing where girls and women were

00:05:27.040 really pouring their hearts out to ask for help. And there are so many thousands and thousands of

00:05:35.900 women across the country affected by this. They have their own daughters or granddaughters

00:05:41.720 in sports confronting men and boys in every sport at every single level. And for those senators

00:05:49.820 on the Democratic side to say, we don't care about this at all over any other issue.

00:05:56.560 It was so insulting. And I was sad. I was really sad as a mom of a girl just starting in sports

00:06:05.160 and sad for our country, because this is a top of mind issue to all Americans. This is even

00:06:13.440 Democrat voters, the constituents of these senators say, we care about women and girls

00:06:21.640 in sports and we care if they're mistreated. And for them to just dismiss it, to be honest,

00:06:27.980 I think it's fear. It's not that they recognize that people don't care about it at all. It's

00:06:35.320 they're scared to death because the leadership in the party has decided, taking the wrong stance

00:06:43.040 on this. And they're afraid to face the American people and to hear what are the ramifications for

00:06:51.080 their terrible policies that are allowing boys and men in girls sports. And so they fled and

00:06:58.160 they can't confront it. This is a top priority for, I would say, a majority of voters. Maybe

00:07:05.260 there are some people who think they don't have to worry about this because they don't have a

00:07:08.420 daughter who's competing actively. Here's what I will say to that. You don't have to have a

00:07:13.020 daughter who's competing because this issue is bigger than just this topic. I think this is a

00:07:18.620 perfect litmus test on if your elected official is willing to lie to you. Why would you believe

00:07:25.640 a word that comes out of someone's mouth, regardless of what the topic is, if that person

00:07:32.440 is willing to say that men can get pregnant and that women need prostate exams and that tampons

00:07:36.500 belong in boys' bathrooms. Why would you trust anything they say on any topic? I think this is

00:07:41.660 the ultimate litmus test that every single elected official especially should have to answer before

00:07:47.880 deciding if they qualify to serve in this capacity. Now, Kim, you said in your testimony, you said the

00:07:55.880 concept of gender identity is in direct conflict with the objective reality of sex, and you have

00:08:00.400 to choose one. Perfectly stated, but can you spell this out? Why can't the law protect both?

00:08:07.260 There are plenty of states that have both sex and gender identity as protected classes in their state

00:08:13.840 constitution. So are you saying you cannot protect both of these groups from discrimination as

00:08:19.580 these laws say? Elaborate on what you mean here. Not in the same place at the same time. You

00:08:26.540 definitely can't. You have to choose one. So I can't, you know, you have a girls sports team.

00:08:33.000 It's been set aside for girls. I can protect the spots on that team for the young girls who want

00:08:38.120 to play, or I can choose to protect that spot for the boy who believes he's a girl or who believes

00:08:44.420 he's entitled to one of those places. And the same thing is true for locker rooms. I can either

00:08:49.940 protect the girls for whom that area was designated so that they can undress and change

00:08:56.280 in a state of safety and comfort, believing that they are surrounded only by members of

00:09:01.520 the female sex, or I can protect the right of men to enter that space and violate the

00:09:06.900 safety and sanctity of that space for women.

00:09:09.520 It's true for prisons.

00:09:11.260 I mean, it's true for anything designated for women.

00:09:14.060 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.

00:09:29.320 They're just conflicting ideologies.

00:09:32.840 I mean, gender identity is a conflicting ideology with sex, which is an objective truth.

00:09:38.800 We can measure it.

00:09:39.620 We see it.

00:09:40.120 We recognize it.

00:09:41.100 It's the foundation for life and why all of us are here today able to talk and breathe.

00:09:48.020 So there is no way to square that hole.

00:09:52.320 Like you can't, you can't do both of them.

00:09:56.600 Yeah, they are.

00:09:56.920 they're in direct conflict with one another. Inevitably, and we've seen this for years now,

00:10:03.420 it's the most frustrating thing, discourse we see online by those who I do believe

00:10:09.160 know better. Whether it's saying that we need genital inspections, that's what we're advocating

00:10:16.040 for, is grown men to ask young girls to pull down their pants so we can inspect their genitals.

00:10:21.600 Can you guys just debunk this, please? No one is advocating for this. No one wants a genital

00:10:29.240 inspection. So when you see this discourse online, how do you respond to this and what

00:10:34.820 actually are we advocating for, Marshy? So what's so ironic is that they're harping

00:10:43.300 no genital exams in women's sports, while they're also saying we want to force grown men

00:10:51.360 into locker rooms and showers with little girls after swim practice or after volleyball with

00:11:00.140 high school athletes. So it's so disingenuous. It's fear-mongering to the umpteenth degree

00:11:10.360 because what women are asking for is actually going back to something we used to do even at

00:11:18.680 the Olympic Games, which was cheek swabbing athletes who wanted to participate in the female

00:11:24.440 category. So this was done decades ago. Thankfully, the IOC is now reversing itself

00:11:32.580 and becoming the leader that they are supposed to be by reinstituting a simple cheek swab.

00:11:40.820 It's very cheap. It's easy, non-invasive. I had a two-year-old during COVID who I had to shove

00:11:48.360 a, you know, Q-tip up to tickle his brain in order to, you know, get on a flight to go and

00:11:56.760 see my parents to prove, you know, his COVID test. And yet we are not willing to just swab

00:12:05.920 a woman's mouth to determine that she's in the right category. It's really imperative now

00:12:14.540 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.

00:12:43.440 because they're performing, understandably, at a much higher level than genetic females.

00:12:50.160 And so this is the next frontier for the protection of women's sports,

00:12:56.760 cheek swabbing in order to protect our women and girls and to uphold the laws that we do have in

00:13:04.440 place. To suggest that you have a sports category for which there is no eligibility criteria other

00:13:11.940 than personal declaration is crazy. It's a non-category then because it's a completely

00:13:18.260 permeable boundary. And the reason we have people do drug testing, step on scales, make sure that

00:13:23.980 they're the right age, make sure they live in the right district, that they are citizens of a

00:13:28.520 certain country is to make sure that they are eligible for the category that they are competing

00:13:33.260 in. And that is, has to be the same case for the women's category. We've got to make sure that it

00:13:39.440 is a boundaried category to allow for female athletes to compete fairly and safely.

00:13:47.500 So, yeah, the sex screening thing is quite easy.

00:13:50.160 And I want to also say that to your listeners that every single young athlete in America

00:13:57.660 in middle school through high school has to go through a pre-participation physical right

00:14:02.320 now for Clarence to participate in school sports that every doctor knows your sex, especially

00:14:09.200 if they know your medical history, which you are by law required to provide.

00:14:13.460 So a cheek swab is, again, simple, easy, and it is complete, for the SRY gene, it's

00:14:20.840 completely accurate.

00:14:22.380 So yeah, we need to go for that.

00:14:24.620 But as far as what the USOPC is doing, contrary to the IOC, they are not installing or are

00:14:32.380 beginning cheek swabs for eligibility and registration for USOPC organizations.

00:14:38.780 And it's that USOPC is U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee.

00:14:42.600 It's an umbrella organization that oversees all Olympic sport in the U.S.

00:14:47.000 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.

00:14:58.720 With just, was it now three or four weeks ago, we had a male athlete who just started cycling 18 months ago competitively.

00:15:07.340 We provided icons, provided the information necessary to the USA Cycling to say this is a male athlete in violation of their written policy.

00:15:18.620 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,

00:15:30.300 the most prestigious event on U.S. soil in the last decade

00:15:34.960 where he would be competing against Olympic gold medalists.

00:16:07.560 um and so that's i mean it's just an appalling or embarrassing state of affairs for our olympic

00:16:17.220 committee to not be holding accountable doing their job to hold accountable their national

00:16:24.980 governing bodies to uphold the rules and policies not just of the united states but of the

00:16:29.660 international sports communities so we have they've got to start doing their job and they

00:16:36.380 have got to start requiring the policy to be enforced, not just written in words, which is

00:16:42.440 what we're seeing across the board right now. Do you think the Trump administration knows about

00:16:47.860 this? Because when it comes to the Olympics, especially LA, 2028, President Trump and his

00:16:55.020 administration has been very clear, like, there will be no men competing in women's sports. So

00:17:00.500 do you think that they know the USOPC isn't adhering to the guidelines that the IOC has set

00:17:07.700 and certainly that we've seen kind of laid out from President Trump and his administration?

00:17:13.200 Because I imagine they would not be overly thrilled if they knew the USOPC was doing this.

00:17:19.020 And they would force their hand because up until this point, they've done a pretty good job of

00:17:25.220 that. I think there, of course, could be a case made about the NCAA and how maybe the Trump

00:17:31.240 administration believed them to be following guidelines, but that's a separate conversation.

00:17:36.320 Do you think they know about what the USOPC is doing?

00:17:40.680 Marcia, I think we're a little confused right now. We have notified high-level

00:17:48.280 government officials about what's happening. I don't know that they know the extent to which

00:17:56.980 it's happening. So I do believe that there are, I mean, this is kind of speculation though, Riley,

00:18:02.340 I believe that there are the people who are in charge of taking their big stick to hold the US

00:18:10.500 OPC accountable as it is a federally chartered institution, even though it doesn't receive

00:18:14.800 federal funding, it exists at the pleasure and discrimination of the U of Congress of the

00:18:21.260 government. So we have told people, you know, what's happening, but the enforcement is not

00:18:28.760 coming down from the top at the USOPC. So it's unclear at this point, what conversations are

00:18:34.880 happening. Yes, I wish they would be stronger. I wish they would be faster. But I, Marcia,

00:18:41.760 Do you have anything to add to that? I'm not 100% clear.

00:18:44.820 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.

00:19:02.700 the American people also, you know, we we've gained wins, certainly, especially since the

00:19:11.040 Trump administration has been so focused on trying to help women and girls in sports.

00:19:17.320 We are seeing wins like at the Olympic Committee, like with keeping men out of women's sports

00:19:23.480 executive order, like we've seen for a couple of years now, which is great. But every time

00:19:30.460 we celebrate a win, a large part of the population believes it's over. So even when your sport

00:19:39.620 changes its policy in name and word only, parents, you need to hold these people's feet to the fire

00:19:50.140 and go to the media and talk about what you're experiencing and out them because the pressure

00:19:56.300 at this point is what is changing policy and awareness. It's not the people in the leadership

00:20:06.320 chair, because depending on who is sitting on that board, they are some of the biggest trans

00:20:12.560 activists we've ever encountered, our board members within these sports. This is why we have

00:20:18.720 come to this mass problem across sports. And so parents and voters and individuals,

00:20:27.700 we have got to rise up and start talking about this and demanding people do something about it

00:20:34.400 to rectify this right now. Because can you imagine when President Trump is out of the Oval Office,

00:20:41.440 who that next seat could be occupied by.

00:20:45.240 And if we don't get permanent protection right now,

00:20:50.020 all of this can be undone with a strike of a pen.

00:20:55.320 Your Uncle Dale is the undisputed king of hot takes.

00:20:58.220 Buffalo, they're a lock because his barber said so.

00:21:01.060 Don't listen to Dale.

00:21:02.100 Go with the score bet.

00:21:06.940 Everything you need for game day is one tap away.

00:21:26.520 Electrolyte brands are everywhere,

00:21:28.100 so I get the skepticism,

00:21:29.580 but Relight stood out to me

00:21:30.860 because it starts with the source.

00:21:32.860 It's made by Redmond,

00:21:34.080 the company behind Redmond Real Salt,

00:21:36.060 which has been mined in Utah since 1958

00:21:38.440 from an ancient Jurassic-era seabed.

00:21:41.520 So instead of processed sodium, you get unrefined real salt

00:21:44.940 with sodium, chloride, and 60-plus trace minerals.

00:21:49.060 The formula stays clean from there.

00:21:50.920 So that means zero sugar, no artificial sweeteners,

00:21:53.520 no artificial colors, no artificial flavors,

00:21:55.840 and no chemical preservatives.

00:21:57.700 You also get potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride,

00:22:00.800 and coconut water powder in the flavored varieties.

00:22:04.020 I like to use it before my workouts.

00:22:05.840 I use it while traveling during a fast or on busy days.

00:22:10.060 It tastes balanced.

00:22:11.320 It doesn't taste too salty or too sweet.

00:22:13.640 My favorite flavor is actually the watermelon lime.

00:22:17.120 It is so good.

00:22:31.520 i i have been so frustrated going into the midterms i understand there are people who feel

00:22:39.120 as if um the administration hasn't done or accomplished everything that they said they

00:22:44.220 were going to do or they're frustrated with gas prices again valid to feel that level of

00:22:50.060 frustration if some of the things you were hoping to be accomplished haven't yet been accomplished

00:22:54.120 but it would be so ignorant to sit this one out, to not vote in the midterm election because you

00:23:02.620 feel disenfranchised or whatever it is when you consider what the alternative is.

00:23:09.600 Ask yourself, would your life be better under Kamala Harris? Oh my gosh, I can't even imagine

00:23:16.540 what that would look like, especially in regards to these types of topics. And to your point about

00:23:24.100 sounding the alarms, there was a new study that came out, I guess, research that had been

00:23:29.560 conducted by Concerned Women for America, CWA. And in this study, it concluded that 2,293 first

00:23:37.820 place finishes, they call stolen gold medals in U.S. women's and girls events have been taken by

00:23:43.240 men. Over half a million dollars in prize money taken from professional women events

00:23:48.780 since the mid-1980s by men identifying as women. In California, they had 611 first place

00:23:57.080 displacements. That's just in one state alone. 14,301 female category events entered by men.

00:24:04.700 You still have people who say this isn't really happening. Do you think this report is enough

00:24:11.400 to combat that? And it's important to mention also that this is just what's being reported

00:24:17.520 and recorded and what can be verified. Kim, would you say the number is higher than even what's been

00:24:23.560 shown here? Oh, yeah. No matter even, so I was just gonna, I was pulling up something I want

00:24:30.420 to read to you that expands on those numbers a little bit. But these are the numbers of people

00:24:37.100 we have been able to track, those of us invested in trying to verify whether or not girls are

00:24:44.860 having their opportunities and rewards stolen by boys. So we know that the number is higher than

00:24:52.360 this because so many go unreported, like vastly higher. We have tons of data that we are still

00:24:59.280 sifting through and trying to verify. But let me just read. I think that report was talking about

00:25:04.580 gold medals, 22 gold medals. And boys have won over 4,000 competitions and team matches

00:25:15.040 meant for female athletes at the K through 12 level. That is 4,000 times that a girl or an

00:25:21.980 entire team has had to lose to a boy in what is supposed to be a girl's only sport. 3,000 of those

00:25:28.840 4,000 were team matches, meaning 3,000 times a girl was sitting on a bench while a boy

00:25:35.460 played in her place on the field instead.

00:25:38.900 They have displaced 2,807 major top three medals and stolen at least 90 state championship

00:25:47.900 titles.

00:25:49.040 So those are the numbers we are aware of at the present time.

00:25:53.140 They grow every day.

00:25:54.260 Every day we uncover more research.

00:25:56.160 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.

00:26:17.140 we have found several boys in the last couple years during this policy who are playing on

00:26:25.100 girls' teams. And we know they're boys. We've verified it 100%. And they are not submitting.

00:26:31.420 They don't believe they have to follow the policy. It's as if this is a group of people

00:26:35.580 that the rules don't apply for. And even in states where there are laws protecting the girls,

00:26:42.500 We know about the volleyball player in Florida, but we also know of ones in Ohio and in Texas.

00:26:48.620 We have watched administrators interviewed to say, oh, here's the loopholes.

00:26:54.520 Here's how we can help get your boy through the cracks.

00:26:56.500 Like the cheek swab is the bulletproof way to say you have to be eligible because otherwise

00:27:02.820 we get individual activists like we have at the head of USA Hockey, USA Rugby, USA Volleyball,

00:27:10.100 USA Weightlifting.

00:27:11.000 We have activists who are just saying, rules don't really work for us here.

00:27:18.660 We're not going to uphold them.

00:27:20.440 And I thought that was a profound statement from one of the fathers who got up at the

00:27:26.100 press conference following the hearing saying, and I also think to your point, Riley, about

00:27:31.340 this being a low bar in society, a judge of whether or not someone can tell the truth,

00:27:37.420 is honest, and can speak objective facts that we're able to reason and logic with,

00:27:42.480 the father got up and said, how is my daughter supposed to trust in any system? How am I supposed

00:27:49.300 to trust in any system where the rules are arbitrary? They just don't apply because she

00:27:54.660 was born female. And I think that's a poignant thought that we're just dismissing truth. We're

00:28:01.900 dismissing written policy. We are saying girls, we can violate the rules for girls if we want to

00:28:10.020 preference a boy. Last thing for you guys, you guys have been backing federal cases against the

00:28:18.860 NCAA. Senator Hawley spent his time at that hearing hounding the NCAA, which he has been so

00:28:25.780 strong on this issue and across the board when it comes to parental rights and free speech and

00:28:31.920 and freedom of religion like he has been one of the greatest if not the greatest that we have in

00:28:37.560 washington dc i believe and especially when it comes to pressing the ncaa over the the years now

00:28:44.420 but he spent his his time doing just that and you guys are racking these cases against the

00:28:49.720 ncaa we've talked about or we alluded to the gains versus ncaa case but there are several others

00:28:55.020 Um, where do those stand and how can people who are watching or listening, how can they support

00:29:01.360 you all and your efforts and support these cases? Um, I'm going to, I'm going to kick it to Kim,

00:29:08.940 but I just wanted to say, thank God for Senator Hawley. Um, I got the front row seats in the

00:29:16.280 hearing to hear him so forcefully say and expose the NCAA for their violation of you yourself,

00:29:26.960 but thousands of other female athletes across the country in many more states and sports than

00:29:33.800 just swimming in Georgia with Leah Thomas. He exposed them for the frauds that they are

00:29:41.120 because they're in court right now battling against you

00:29:45.160 and dozens of other women in court trying to say

00:29:49.340 that we do not have to comply with Title IX

00:29:51.940 and we didn't do anything wrong

00:29:54.800 by forcing these men into your locker rooms

00:29:57.220 and onto your teams

00:29:58.340 and even giving them women scholarships.

00:30:01.260 So you can go pound sand is what they're telling you

00:30:04.740 and many other women in court today

00:30:07.420 while they're trying to get, you know,

00:30:11.540 anti-trust exemption from the American people

00:30:15.380 to violate laws in perpetuity

00:30:18.860 and make it harder for women to fight back in the law

00:30:22.940 when they are discriminated against.

00:30:26.480 Private student loan debt in the U.S. is around $300 billion

00:30:29.360 with A-B U.S. dollars,

00:30:32.400 and roughly $45 billion of that is considered distress.

00:30:35.380 For a lot of people, that means one thing.

00:30:37.420 feeling stuck with no light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe the payments are too high. Maybe

00:30:42.540 a co-signer is still on the hook. Maybe every refinance option keeps ending in a no. That's

00:30:48.280 where Y-Refi comes in. Y-Refi, they help refinance distressed and defaulted private student loans,

00:30:53.760 and they look beyond a traditional credit score. They offer personalized solutions,

00:30:57.960 flexible repayment options, one-on-one support, and in some cases, even the chance to release

00:31:02.420 eligible co-signers from the loan. Your student loan debt does not, and it should not define

00:31:07.520 your future. If you have been carrying this burden and you don't know what to do next,

00:31:11.920 you don't know what that next step is, Why Refi could be the first real step towards relief.

00:31:17.180 You can see whether you qualify at whyrefi.com or you can call today. A better financial future

00:31:23.480 could start with just one conversation. I'm sure you are the same as I am, Riley. I had no idea

00:31:32.060 when we worked to try to file those cases in federal court, what the federal court system

00:31:37.800 looked like, what that process looked like. How long and drawn out and appeals and 30 days here

00:31:44.080 and 90 days here. Yeah. So there is a level of, of confusion on, on where these things stand,

00:31:51.080 the timeline of them, what's actually even being decided on. But I think it's intentional,

00:31:57.000 Right. Like it feels intentionally confusing and draining, draining financially, emotionally, the output, I guess, there.

00:32:06.400 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?

00:32:19.500 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.

00:32:34.080 And as Marshy said earlier, we need those permanent legal protections.

00:32:38.780 Right now, everything is temporary.

00:32:40.240 And we just got a huge lesson in that in the state of Virginia with Governor Spaniger overturning

00:32:45.720 the protections that the girls in that state spent years advocating for and had to really

00:32:51.560 suffer through, you know, their own situation with a man trying to join a women's team and

00:32:57.960 entering their locker rooms.

00:32:59.140 And it destroyed their team.

00:33:01.060 It destroyed their years in college.

00:33:02.640 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.

00:33:31.720 We are managing to keep them barely afloat right now, but we need support.

00:33:37.980 So financial support is critical.

00:33:39.640 If anyone is interested in making sure these court cases can stay alive, please reach out

00:33:44.220 to us at iconswomen.com.

00:33:47.040 You can reach through you or through Marshy or me.

00:33:51.140 We'll get everyone hooked up.

00:33:53.400 These court cases are the only offensive court cases in the U.S. right now where we are trying

00:34:00.740 to strike down policies across the country that allow men into women's sports and women's

00:34:05.900 locker rooms.

00:34:06.400 And as you know all too well, Riley, there's half of the nation's girls just in school

00:34:11.800 and in college are unprotected right now and are still actively going through losing their

00:34:18.240 opportunities and suffering through these events where men are taking their places on

00:34:25.420 teams and their medals.

00:34:26.360 Um, it is really important to recognize that men are suing on the other side.

00:34:34.420 So we have, we, our organization with you has three federal court cases.

00:34:38.860 The men, I think have eight or nine right now.

00:34:42.260 And they're always so well funded.

00:34:44.360 And they are grossly funded.

00:34:46.220 So it just, I mean, lots of people, but Mackenzie Bezos,

00:34:50.800 $45 million into funding those male athletes.

00:34:54.200 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.

00:35:03.500 We need to be littering the country with court cases.

00:35:06.720 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.

00:35:20.040 Um, so thank you guys. And, and, and to hold people accountable, otherwise the whole slap

00:35:26.860 on the wrist kind of enforcement mechanism that, that we've seen thus far, it just doesn't work

00:35:33.600 when you are dealing with activists, as you, you put it, which I think is, is, um, maybe even an

00:35:40.300 understatement. These people are worse than activists. It is their life mission to further

00:35:46.460 gender ideology to harm women um and children weirdly enough so thank you guys for doing what

00:35:52.400 you do for backing the cases for testifying and for for alerting the public um to things that

00:35:58.420 otherwise they would think we're on the winning side of and while again we have seen wins and we

00:36:02.400 should celebrate those there's a lot of work to do so thank you guys
