it's not like you take the it's not like you take the more money from 10% of pay, 30% of the tax, the top 1% pays 30, top 10% pays 50% of all taxes. in the united states. that's not that's not a fair system . um, that's not a fair system. um, um, and the bottom 50% pays nothing. so they have no skin in the game, and they're the ones getting all the services. so um, yeah, i our tax code has yeah, i mean, our tax code has to be looked at if can bring to be looked at if i can bring you back to woke again. >> okay. go. >> okay. let's go. i'm interested there's any aspect interested if there's any aspect of you like . because of woke that you like. because to me, it's a spectrum between some ideas which are to do with kindness, which is fundamentally a christian virtue view. 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 , um, and a solution called oxfam, um, um, they issued a pamphlet telling the people who work for them, advising them how they
2:28 pm
should speak, and they said things like, um, if you support someone, you should not say to them that they 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 and kind and care. >> i am . 100% behind kindness. >> i am. 100% behind kindness. yeah, not a bad idea. >> i'm a kind person. >> i'm a kind person. >> i'm a kind person. >> i help people , um, i do >> i help people, um, i do whatever i can, i my whole family is that way. i've tried to bring them up that way. kindness is extremely important. um, i just joined on as a spokesman for a, a pac , which is spokesman for a, a pac, which is raising money for issues. it's called fairness. first, i'm all about fairness. okay and that because i have been an advocate .
2:29 pm
because i have been an advocate. for um, fairness in women's sports, i'm not on the woke side of saying, oh, trans women should be able to compete in sports. no, it's not fair, okay? it's just 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. um, that to compete against is that if you puberty, if you have a man's body, it's essentially bigger and stronger than a woman's body would be. >> if you then go to rules are all over the place. >> okay . when it comes to trans >> okay. when it comes to trans women in sports, um , and, you women in sports, um, and, you know, i go all the way back and you go way back there too . you you go way back there too. you remember back in the 70 sees a little bit into the 80s, the east german women at the olympics . yeah. remember that . olympics. yeah. remember that. and the, the soviet it was soviet union back then. the soviet union back then. the soviet women , you looked at them soviet women, you looked at them and you went, oh my god, you know, at those girls. i
2:30 pm
know, look at those girls. i mean, and so the olympic committee has been dealing with it for a long time to keep it fair. and that was mostly drug 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 they do good pretty good job. they do a good job testing yeah, they pretty good job. they do a good joba esting yeah, they pretty good job. they do a good joba goodi yeah, they pretty good job. they do a good joba good job yeah, they pretty good job. they do a good joba good job for yeah, they pretty good job. they do a good joba good job for that. 1h, they pretty good job. they do a good joba good job for that. buthey pretty good job. they do a good joba good job for that. but um, do a good job for that. but um, when it comes to sports it's just not fair. um, and honestly, i started with the 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 . um, and last couple of years. um, and hormone levels were lower, but went through male puberty , six, went through male puberty, six, four big hands kick and but in the ncaa okay. yes. 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 fashion. yeah. um for controls the rules
2:31 pm
in swimming change the rules said and i think rightly so , 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. with that puberty. and i agree with that decision. that puberty. and i agree with that decisi
2:32 pm
um, if the boys get, um, let's say the men's soccer team gets ten scholarships. well then the women have to get ten scholarships, too. okay well, with that in place over the last 30 years, 40 years, i mean, it has risen, um, women's sports tremendously. yeah, it's given out so many scholarships to women . and it's been such women. and it's been such a great program. okay. great program. well even the ncaa is doing things about trans athletes , but now joe biden , athletes, but 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 identit , not make it gender identit, not women , which would kill women's women, which would kill women's sports backed by $10 million by george soros . okay um, backed by george soros. okay um, backed by george soros. okay um, backed by george soros. okay um, backed by george soros. so now joe biden is literally trying to ruin , um, is literally trying to ruin, um, women's sports by letting anybody who just identifies as a woman go in and compete . it
2:33 pm
woman go in and compete. it would destroy women's sports. it would destroy women's sports. it would discourage women. it is ridiculous . would discourage women. it is ridiculous. so would discourage women. it is ridiculous . so with fairness, ridiculous. so with fairness, first, that's what we're doing . first, that's what we're doing. we're raising money to go out and fight this , fight this and fight this, fight this issue, because it's not going away not away. but away. it's not going away. but a lot of international, uh, 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 every different organism station and they have to come up with their own set of rules, you know, and so that's what we do at 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, um , uh, parental rights . i on, um, uh, parental rights. i see that people are and i see what's happening . we're losing what's happening. we're losing parental rights . it's like the parental 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,
2:34 pm
. you know, this this, you know, woke rainbow, you know, uh, mass idea that we have out there are pushing, pushing, pushing and i want to protect, uh , you know, want to protect, uh, you know, parental rights . and we see it parental rights. and we see it in the united states, especially in the united states, especially in school board meetings and parents coming and school boards teaching your children stuff. you don't want taught . um, you don't want taught. um, parents need to be in control of what their is, their children, not the state. >> is it? well that you don't want taught at a certain age or just generally you don't want it taught ? taught? >> no, it's not even a certain. it's well right now it's in school. i mean, that's really where you're losing it is in school, but it's parents have to be have to know that they're in charge. you know, you can go charge. if you know, you can go to a private school costs a lot of money to there, you're of money to go there, you're already paying. you're already paying. if you're paying taxes, you're, you know, you're already your school. already paying for your school. so pay taxes so now you got to pay your taxes and send kid to a private and send your kid to a private school them. what i school to educate them. what i would properly, um , and
2:35 pm
would consider properly, um, and that's just not right. so we we're trying to protect it, but parental rights concerned because i'm a little old fashioned and i was married to a therapist who was for. >> gosh. yeah >> gosh. yeah >> and you survived. >> and you survived. >> are . well, she cost me 20 >> are. well, she cost me 20 million. so i'm not sure if i don't know if that's really survival, but she's a lot better off. >> right ? >> right? >> right? >> she was a great. is she happy? >>i happy? >> ihope happy? >> i hope she was. >> i hope she was. >> she was very happy. oh good. good good good. was very good good good. she was very keen on the freud's idea of what's known. the latency period. right. which is that a little tiny little kids are really quite sexual. and then it stops and they become very asexual for a time until puberty . right. and freud said if there are, um , subject to anything are, um, subject to anything sexual during that time, it tends to up set the whole apparatus. well see, that's exactly what we're fighting. >> i don't want the schools, as you say , during that stuff, you say, during that stuff, where they are kind of asexual . where they are kind of asexual. all um, let's say you have a
2:36 pm
little, a little girl's kind of a tomboy, you know , in the old a tomboy, you know, in the old days, they could be a tomboy. it was kind cute. yeah. you know was kind of cute. yeah. you know , uh, little boy , um, or, uh, a little boy that's maybe more on the feminine side, you know? but it was cute . a nice kid on and on was cute. a nice kid on and on and on. and but today, what they're doing is in that period , they're doing is in that period, um, where, as you say, they're kind of asexual . they're trying kind of asexual. they're trying to themselves. you have to find themselves. you have schools coming in teaching this radical gender ideology to these kids a time when they kids at a time when they shouldn't really when they shouldn't be making sexual ideas. be that ideas. they shouldn't be 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, had a different child. you know, one time it seems like , you one time it seems like, you know, this is the problem. and then six months later, it's a totally different problem. yeah. and kids change all the time. you don't want them , especially you don't want them, especially in time, make any in that time, to make any radical decisions their radical decisions about their life. i agree with that. or gender affirming care or of gender affirming care or any of that stuff . leave. have the that stuff. leave. have the state leave our children alone
2:37 pm
for the very few you know? um that really suffer from , uh, that really suffer from, uh, gender dysphoria . yeah. um that gender dysphoria. yeah. um that has to really be handled on an individual basis, but it's not the state, it's the parents. it's got god, it's the doctor . it's got god, it's the doctor. for them to make the decisions , for them to make the decisions, uh, for their child. and not the state. the state should not even be teach reading, writing , be teach reading, writing, arithmetic. in our case, america in history teach that . don't in history teach that. don't teach all this other stuff .

2:43 pm
their heart whatsoever , they their heart whatsoever, they ask, why did you do this to me? and here, my whole life, i've been dealing my identity been dealing with my identity and who i am and why. is there a reason for this? am i doing the right am and, um, you reason for this? am i doing the right when am and, um, you reason for this? am i doing the right when i am and, um, you reason for this? am i doing the right when i go m and, um, you reason for this? am i doing the right when i go upand, um, you reason for this? am i doing the right when i go up that um, you reason for this? am i doing the right when i go up that day,you reason for this? am i doing the right when i go up that day, you know, when i go up that day, you walk up the stairs into the pearly gates and god sitting there said, my god, i there and i said, my god, did i do good you you do a good job? you know, you want say so i've want him to say yes. and so i've been thinking about, um , all of been thinking about, um, all of that for so long that, um , my that for so long that, um, my last person i had to talk to and i was walking through a field. i remember and said, god, am i doing the right thing, know, doing the right thing, you know, is this ? and is there a reason for this? and i just the feeling that he i just got the feeling that he it was like, it's okay. you know, you can do this . you know, know, you can do this. you know, you can live your life authentically. i felt like he said, yes . and it was kind of said, yes. and it was kind of like the last thing i needed. and that's when, besides all my children, because i had talked to all children about this, to all my children about this, that know i was doing that i had to know i was doing the right thing and that me coming out , uh, could change and
2:44 pm
coming out, uh, could change and save a lot of lives . um, i save a lot of lives. um, i that's what i was hoping would , that's what i was hoping would, especially at first. um that because obviously i couldn't do it privately . no, but just i was it privately. no, but just i was already a big time celebrity . already a big time celebrity. big time, you know, big time. uh, i was known all over the world. i thought about, why don't i just, like, move to alaska, to the backwoods , and alaska, to the backwoods, and live and live in a place? but i'd have to leave all my children . i'd have to leave all my children. i'd i'd have to leave all my children . i'd leave all the children. i'd leave all the things i just i couldn't things that i, i just i couldn't do way. so do it, do it that way. so if i do it, i just to try to do it right just have to try to do it right and do it with respect and do it with a dignified way, not only for myself and my family, but for myself and my family, but for general . i for trans people in general. i try to do it that way and it was a struggle. i mean, it was not. it was at first. um, you know, you're kind of riding on this little high and then, um, it just it gets harder and harder because my views being a republican, being conservative, being all, all of those types of
2:45 pm
things, they're not on the normal side of what trans people are. they they're all are. you know, they they're all kind of wokester. >> bannau. so where do where >> bannau. so where do you where do flack from ? do you get the flack from? >> it from, uh, most >> oh, i get it from, uh, most of all from the trans of it's all from the trans community. it is. yeah. i've never had problem general. never had a problem in general. you know, there's the whole bathroom thing and this and i have not been in men's room in have not been in a men's room in eight years. yeah okay. uh, by the , the women's rooms are the way, the women's rooms are much nicer . much nicer. >> hahaha. >> hahaha. >> okay. yeah they don't have those urinals on the walls and smelly and all that. they got flowers in there, usually. nice music. the conversation is much better in the ladies room. i just want to tell you you're missing out. >> you brought up a few people who would know that. so yes , who would know that. so yes, yes. know what talking about? >> t- w- w what i'm talking >> yes, i know what i'm talking about on that one. but but uh. yeah. so i mean, i've lived my life, but and it's , um, i get a life, but and it's, um, i get a lot of flack from mostly trans people who don't like that . i'm people who don't like that. i'm a republican . i support a republican. i support president trump . um, he did
2:46 pm
president trump. um, he did phenomenal things for our country in the four years he was there . um, unfortunately, he's there. um, unfortunately, he's not there right now. and we're paying not there right now. and we're paying the price with everything inflation, the border . we had inflation, the border. we had the most secure border in the world in the united states history. and now look at 15 million people are going to come across our border. we didn't even know the they are. across our border. we didn't eve|sureyw the they are. across our border. we didn't eve|sure you the they are. across our border. we didn't eve|sure you wouldn't they are. across our border. we didn't eve|sure you wouldn't lethey are. across our border. we didn't eve|sure you wouldn't let 15/ are. i'm sure you wouldn't let 15 million people across from million people come across from europe on the shores of the uk. and just let them in. who cares who they are? let them in. >> well, we could do that if we had somewhere else to go. yeah. >> yeah. right. yeah. so anyway, um , uh, because of that, i've um, uh, because of that, i've gotten a lot of flack because of a much more conservative, maybe a much more conservative, maybe a look trans a different look at the trans community. i know so many trans people that are just wonderful human beings , hard working, human beings, hard working, great. that's the majority. honestly that's the majority of trans people . it is this small trans people. it is this small percentage that are out there. so given given a microphone, but through social, they have so much effect on the people who
2:47 pm
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 . this thing. i had no choice. okay? i was already very big celebrity. yeah, that was just trying to live their life authentically me. and in doing that, maybe i could help some people. okay um, honestly, in my family , i'm interested in the family, i'm interested in the fact that they don't really want to debate the subject because my views are different than theirs. >> they're i'm saying in general, they want in general, they don't want a debate or discuss it because for some reason they regard that as unnecessary. they just feel, yeah , well, they think it's yeah, well, they think it's their way of the highway. >> yeah, yeah. and i'd just like the other day in o'reilly gains , the other day in o'reilly gains, uh, she's the girl who's been talking states
2:48 pm
talking in the united states a lot. she was the one who swam against, uh , uh, leah thomas against, uh, uh, leah thomas and, um , uh, she has been a big and, um, uh, 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 , um, and has done friend, um, and has done wonderful work. but she was in san francisco a couple of months back giving a speech. the students there, and she had a bunch of trans people just literally come after her hitter as she said, uh, there was a guy in a dress and the other ones, and it was videotaped and you could hear them in the background. these trans women , background. these trans women, uh, yelling , you know, trans uh, yelling, you know, trans women are real women. and on and on and on making fools of themselves . okay um, on and on making fools of themselves. okay um, and on and on making fools of themselves . okay um, and that's themselves. okay um, and that's not good. it's horrible for the trans , for trans people in trans, for trans people in general . it's horrible. it makes general. it's horrible. it makes us look selfish. the leah thomas
2:49 pm
of the world, trans girls swimming. it makes it's not good for trans people. it makes them look selfish , self—indulgent. look selfish, self—indulgent. it's like all about me. it's not about all these other girls i'm beating. i don't even play in my golf, in my clubs , women's golf, in my clubs, women's tournaments. they've asked me to play tournaments. they've asked me to play in the women's golf tournament. oh, yeah, but i can outdrive them by 100 yards. i haven't been on testosterone and in eight years and i can still hit the ball 280 yards. okay, i'm still long. i arms this and that. i'm still long. i arms this and that . so it's. but i'm still long. i arms this and that. so it's. but this is the way i look at myself . um . i see way i look at myself. um. i see these, you know, trans women are real women. no, you're not okay. that's the bottom line. this is the way i look at my life. my my, i have everything changed. birth certificate, gender marker. f okay. everything's changed. do diver's license. i'm a pilot. my pilot's license. you name every piece of everything
2:50 pm
that's in my name is legally me. caitlyn. marie jenner. gender marker f okay, i, as i said earlier, i haven't used the men's room in a million years and probably never will and have never had a problem . i mean, i never had a problem. i mean, i go in there, i'm respectful of the other women that they're there. they certainly a lot of them know who are. go there. they certainly a lot of th yeah, yeah. >> and so, um , so i lived my >> and so, um, so i lived my life as a woman, but i'm not. i don't consider myself this. i, i am a woman now, and on and on. no no, i consider myself a trans person. yeah, that's who i am. >> and what i'm interested in. you say. i mean, when you say, you know, we we're women, we argue about the definition of words , right? and that's always
2:51 pm
words, right? and that's always completely pointless. yes. because there's no way you can prove one or another. it's just how people use words. so it seems to me what matters, because after all, all through history, there were men who were more female and there were women who were more male. they they it only comes down to certain things like sports is a key one and bathrooms is bathrooms one. and maybe there's1 and bathrooms is bathrooms one. and maybe there's 1 or 2 others. other wise. what is the fuss about provided we are kind and pleasant and tolerant? >> right back to kindness, baby . >> right back to kindness, baby. yeah, kindness works all the time. yeah yeah, kindness works all the time . all the time. >> um, and they don't seem very kindly . i mean, there's a of kindly. i mean, there's a lot of trans people are not very kind, and of woke people and there's a lot of woke people that kind , you know, that aren't very kind, you know, so religious , you know, so many religious, you know, some people from a religious standpoint, they say you're you're a man or a woman and that's it. >> and there's nothing in between. okay well, being gendered dysphoric has been around throughout humanity. yes.
2:52 pm
this is nothing new, nothing new. nobody ever talked about it before. they keep their mouths shut they through life, shut and they go through life, you ? um, and so, you know, you know? um, and so, you know, that's what i'm trying to have a certain openness and acceptance of it. >> yeah. i mean, there are always who would always horrible people who would be against are . be prejudiced against there are. >> and you know what? i'll just wake up in the morning and i'd just day and just be myself all day and that's it. i mean, ijust just be myself all day and that's it. i mean, i just be myself . this that's it. i mean, i just be myself. this is me. okay >> i like that. yeah >> i like that. yeah >> caitlyn, it was a pleasure. thank you. it was nice talking to you. good fun. yes, it was fun. >> and thanks for coming. >> and thanks for coming. >> my pleasure
