6:07 pm
bigger government in the united states. california, when states. so in california, when the election came up and the recall election came up and i just loved the state and honestly, i thought of my father , who's in 2000. we buried in him in arlington with all his war buddies, arlington and if he could see what was happening to our country and to our state, he would be devastated when his generation , you know, 364 guys generation, you know, 364 guys in his division, 660, came back alive of. okay, everybody around him died for our individual freedoms , you know, and to see freedoms, you know, and to see how we're losing that and how government is taking that over and what are they? you know what? i can stand up. i think as americans , we need to stand up americans, we need to stand up and gavin newsom has been an absolute horrible governor. he was horrible for this. he was mayor of san francisco . he was mayor of san francisco. he was the beginning of the downfall of

6:09 pm
trans girl. and i knew it was a really , really tough up road really, really tough up road battle. but i also knew that it would get me it would get me involved. i've got to try as an american citizen, i have to try and do what i can to save that. so i went in, did okay, but i learned a lot . it brought me learned a lot. it brought me more into the political side of things. what did you learn from that? >> that you didn't know before? >> that you didn't know before? >> what a scam california is? >> what a scam california is? >> scam . >> scam. >> scam. everything >> scam. everything is >> scam. everything is a >> scam. everything is a scam >> scam. everything is a scam . >> scam. everything is a scam. everything is about politics. everything is about politics. everything is a scam . take everything is a scam. take homeless issue, homeless issue in california is a big, big business. yes. okay. business oh, huge business. tell me more . oh, huge business. tell me more. no nonprofits. you know, we hear about them all the time. you have nonprofits and stuff . there have nonprofits and stuff. there are nonprofits in california that are really backed by government. they give them literally billions of dollars. gavin newsom has spent like 3 or
6:10 pm

6:13 pm
in the room that has had a lot of experiences in life. i've gone through a lot in my life and i've learned a lot and i know kind of how the world works. and but because of that, i also know i'm not always . on i also know i'm not always. on the radical. i call them the radical rainbow coalition or the rainbow . the radical rainbow rainbow. the radical rainbow mafia. i mean , the lgbt mafia. i mean, the lgbt community. there is a small group that has taken that over evenin group that has taken that over even in the trans community, small group of highly woke crazy people that don't don't think , people that don't don't think, you know, they're not good for trans people in general because they're so outspoken. and you know, trans women are real women. and, you know, they're yelling at people and you're not going to get anywhere that but that's a small community. and in social media, why do they have social media, why do they have so much power if they're so? >> because media gives
6:14 pm
>> because of social media gives them a big loud microphone, you know , big, loud voice . and but know, big, loud voice. and but does that give what is what social media has done is given small groups a big voice and the media loves it because it's very controversial on this and that. >> so the media clicks. yes. yes. and so , so, so many people yes. and so, so, so many people in in the lgbt community, i mean, so many a small group of people in the lgbt community have this big social media, micro phone that's out there and they want to get clicks. they want to be celebrity is they want to be celebrity is they want to be influencers. and honestly, i think that really huns honestly, i think that really hurts most trans people. all they want to do is just go live their life. >> exactly. well, that's the feeling i have that . but there's feeling i have that. but there's an extraordinary obsession about an extraordinary obsession about a group of people who are in bolton, like any other group of people. but it seems to be out of proportion in the amount of
6:19 pm

6:28 pm
woke again. >> okay, let's go. i'm interested if there's any aspect of like because to of woke that you like because to me a spectrum between some me it's a spectrum between some ideas which are to do with kindness, is fundamentally kindness, which is fundamentally a christian virtue . you and the a christian virtue. you and the other percent which is going a bit, a little bit bananas. we had a case the other day where a company called and not a company and a solution called oxfam . and a solution called oxfam. they issued a pamphlet telling the people who work for them, advising them how they should speak. and they said things like, if you support someone, you should not say to them that that you stand with them because it might upset people who can't stand. now, that seems to me ridiculous. so there's one end of work that i think is pretty ridiculous, but there's another end, which ideally is about trying to help kind and care. >> i am . 100% behind kindness.
6:29 pm
>> i am. 100% behind kindness. yeah not a bad idea. i'm a kind person . i help people . i do person. i help people. i do whatever i can. i my whole family is that way. i tried to bnng family is that way. i tried to bring them up that way. kindness is extremely important. i just joined on as a spokesman for a super pac , which is raising super pac, which is raising money for issues . it's called money for issues. it's called fairness first, i'm all about fairness. okay and that because ihave fairness. okay and that because i have been an advocate for fairness in women's sports , i'm fairness in women's sports, i'm not on the woke side of saying, oh , trans women should be able oh, trans women should be able to compete in sports. no, it's not fair. okay? it's just not not fair. okay? it's just not not fair. okay? it's just not not fair. and it's not so i've been out trying to for the last two years, trying to protect women's sports. yes. i love women. yes. okay. and it's just not fair to compete against. >> is that if you puberty, if you have a man's body, it's essential to be bigger and stronger than a woman's body
6:30 pm
would be if you then go to the rules are all over the place . rules are all over the place. >> okay. when it comes to trans women in sports and, you know, i go all the way back and you go way back there to do you remember back in the 70s, seconds , a little bit in the seconds, a little bit in the 80s, the east german women at the olympics ? the olympics? >> oh, yeah. >> oh, yeah. >> remember that ? and the soviet >> remember that? and the soviet it was soviet union back then. the soviet women . you looked at the soviet women. you looked at them when you went, oh, my god, you know, look at those girls. i mean , and so the olympic mean, and so the olympic committee has been dealing with it for a long time, um, to keep it for a long time, um, to keep it fair and that was mostly drug related . okay? it was because related. okay? it was because the testing procedures weren't as accurate back then as they are today. today they're so accurate and they're so well tested. they they, they do a pretty good job. they do a good job testing that. yeah, they job testing for that. yeah, they do a good job for that. but but when to sports, it's when it comes to sports, it's just not fair. when it comes to sports, it's just not fair . yeah. and just not fair. yeah. and honestly, i started with the
6:31 pm
leah thomas deal and you remember that at penn, it just wasn't fair. and leah thomas was six four big hands transitioned just over the last couple of years , and hormone levels were years, and hormone levels were lower but went through male puberty . six, lower but went through male puberty. six, four big hands kick and but in the ncaa. okay and it's just wrong . it's just and it's just wrong. it's just it's not fair. it's not fair because they went through puberty. fina is the world organisation ocean yeah for controls the rules in swimming change the rules said and i think rightly so that you would have to have transitioned before the age of 12. why. because you have to transition before you go through puberty. and i agree with that decision and we'll see how that works out. then one of your people , sebastian coe , your people, sebastian coe, okay, one of your great runners . okay, one of your great runners. >> oh, yeah. >> oh, yeah. >> he's the head of world athletics at and he about a couple of months back, he said, i picked fairness over equality
6:32 pm
and i'd basically came in and banned trans women from , um, banned trans women from, um, international sports . right? and international sports. right? and again, i think that's the right decision. we just have to protect women's sports . you protect women's sports. you know, now in the united states . know, now in the united states. s we have a, a law called title nine, title nine was passed back in, in the 80s, early 80s, and it was a fairness, mostly in the ncaa, but fairness in women's sports. okay if the boys get let's say the men's soccer team gets ten scholarships, well then the women have to get ten scholarships to . okay. well, scholarships to. okay. well, with that in place over the last 30 years, 40 years, i mean, it has risen. women's sports tremendously. yeah, it's given out so many scholarships to women and it's been such a great program . program. >> okay, great program. >> okay, great program. >> well , even the ncaa >> okay, great program. >> well, even the ncaa is doing things about trans athletes, but now joe biden , who's been on the
6:33 pm
now joe biden, who's been on the wrong side of every issue in history, says we have to open up title nine to make it gender identity, not women , which would identity, not women, which would kill women's sports backed . by kill women's sports backed. by $10 million by george soros . $10 million by george soros. okay um, backed by george soros . okay um, backed by george soros. so now joe biden is literally trying to ruin women's sports by letting anybody who just identifies as a woman go in and compete. it would destroy women's sports. it would discourage women. it is ridiculous . discourage women. it is ridiculous. so discourage women. it is ridiculous . so with fairness, ridiculous. so with fairness, first, that's what we're doing. we're raising money to go out and fight this fight this issue, because it's not going away . because it's not going away. it's not going away. >> but a lot of international bodies governing sports have made decisions in accordance with what you're saying. >> some of the big ones have not everyone. we have a long way to go because in the in the case of fairness, you have to deal with
6:34 pm
every different organisation action and they have to come up with their own set of rules. you know? and so that's what we do with fairness. first we're doing that and we're also working on two things fairness and women's sports and we're also working on parental rights . i see that parental rights. i see that people are and i see what's happening. we're losing parental rights . it's like the state rights. it's like the state wants to take over our children when it comes to teaching radical gender ideology. you know, this this , you know, woke know, this this, you know, woke rainbow, you know, man , for that rainbow, you know, man, for that we have out there are pushing , we have out there are pushing, pushing, pushing. and i want to protect you know , parental protect you know, parental rights. and we see it in the united states, especially in school board meetings and parents coming and school boards teaching your children stuff. you don't want taught is this parents need to be in control of what their their children, not the state. >> is it that you don't want

6:37 pm
shouldn't making shouldn't be making sexual identities, shouldn't identities, they shouldn't be that up. let that shouldn't even come up. let the kids i know i raised ten children every six months. you had a different child. you know, one time it seems like, you know , this is the problem. and then six months later, it's a totally different problem. and kids change all the time. you don't want them , especially in that want them, especially in that time, to make any radical decisions about their life . decisions about their life. >> i agree with that. >> i agree with that. >> or gender affirming care or any of that stuff. leave, have the state leave our children alone for the very few you know , alone for the very few you know, that really suffer from gender dysphoria . yeah that has to dysphoria. yeah that has to really be handled on an individual basis. but it's not the state, it's the parents. it's god, it's the doctor for them to make the decisions for their child and not the state. the state should not be teach reading , the state should not be teach reading, writing and the state should not be teach reading , writing and arithmetic
6:38 pm

6:43 pm
eight years. you know, at first i thought i could change the world. and i thought, wow , you world. and i thought, wow, you know, because my last conversation that i had before i decided to do this was with god . decided to do this was with god. i'm i don't go to church all the time, but i'm a person of faith. so that's always been in the back of my mind. like god, why did you do this to me? i think anybody who has challenges in life and they have any faith in their heart whatsoever , they their heart whatsoever, they ask, why did you do this to me? and here my whole life i've been deaung and here my whole life i've been dealing with my identity and who i why. there a reason i am. and why. is there a reason for this? am i doing the right thing ? and you know, when i go thing? and you know, when i go up that day, you walk up the stairs into the pearly gates and god sitting there and i said, my god, did i do a good job? you know, you want him to say yes. and so i've been thinking about all of that for so long that
6:44 pm
that my last person i had to talk to and i was walking through a field, i remember, and i said, god, am i doing the right thing? you know, is there a reason for this? am and i just got the feeling that it was like , hey, it's okay. you know, you can do this. you know, you can live your life authentically. i felt like he said yes. and it was kind of like the last thing i need. that's besides all my children, because i had talked to all my children about this, that i had to know i was doing the right thing and that me coming out could change and save a lot of lives . that's what i a lot of lives. that's what i was hoping , especially at first, was hoping, especially at first, that that because obviously i couldn't do it privately . no, couldn't do it privately. no, but just i was already a big time celebrity . time celebrity. >> big time. you know, big time. >> big time. you know, big time. >> i was known all over the world. i thought about wanting i just like move to alaska, to the backwoods and live and live in a place. but i'd have to leave all my children. i'd leave all the things that i just. i couldn't
6:45 pm
do it that way. so if i do it, i just have to try to do it right. right. and do it with respect and do it with a dignified way. not only for myself and my family, but for trans people in general. i try to do it that way. a struggle. way. and it was a struggle. i mean, it was not it was at first, you know, you're kind of riding on this little high and then it just it gets harder and harder because cause my views being a republican, being conservative, being all of those types of things , and then not on types of things, and then not on the normal side of what trans people are, you know , they, people are, you know, they, they're all kind of woker than. >> so where do you where do you get the flack from? >> oh, i get it from most of it's all from the trans community, you know? >> yeah, i've never had a problem in general. >> know, there's the whole >> you know, there's the whole bathroom this and bathroom thing and this and i have been in men's room in have not been in a men's room in eight years. yeah okay. by the way , the women's rooms are much way, the women's rooms are much nicer . okay. nicer. okay. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> they don't have those urinals

6:47 pm
who they are? let them in. >> well, we could do that if we had somewhere else to go. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> yeah, right. yeah so anyway, because that , i've gotten a because of that, i've gotten a lot of flack because a much more conservative, maybe a different look at the trans community. i know so many trans people that are just wonderful human beings, hardworking , great. that's the hardworking, great. that's the majority. honestly that's the majority. honestly that's the majority of trans people . it is majority of trans people. it is this small percentage that are out there. so given given a microphone through social media, they have so much effect on the people who don't really like their policies. >> the other trans people, i feel like a lot of them are trying to become celebrities. >> they're trying to use their out to get out there, to get clicks, to be on tiktok or be here or be there. i didn't start off wanting to be a celebrity in this thing. i had no choice. okay i was already very big celebrity that was just trying to live their life authentically . and in doing that, maybe i could help some people. okay
6:48 pm
honestly, in my family , i'm honestly, in my family, i'm interested in the fact that they don't really want to debate the subject because my views are different than theirs. >> their what i'm saying in general, they democrats in general, they democrats in general, they democrats in general, they don't want to debate or discuss it because for some reason they regard that as unnecessary . they just feel, unnecessary. they just feel, yeah, well, they think it's their way or the highway. yeah. yeah. an and just like the other day an o'reilly gains she's the girls been talking in the united states a lot she was the one who swam against uh leah thomas . and swam against uh leah thomas. and she has been a big advocate of keeping trans women out of women's sports. >> and i'm a big supporter. she's a good friend and has done wonderful work. but she was in san francisco a couple of months back giving a speech. the students there were and she had a bunch of trans people all just
