Riley Gaines: NCAA Reduced a Victory to a Photo Opp for Lia Thomas
"I remember seeing you and the photographs and of you standing up there on the winter's podiums and just looking at this at this guy, and I understand, if I recall the story correctly, they gave him the trophy and they said, yeah, we're going to send yours in the mail. Correct. So we actually tied the exact same time down to the hundredth of a second, which now looking back, I think God put me in that place for this to inspire how it has. But we tried and we go behind the awards podium in the NAA official looks at me and says, great job, you guys tied. We only have one trophy. It's going to go to Leah. And so I quickly questioned this, which I could tell he obviously wasn't prepared for. And so when I asked him why he was adamant on giving the trophy to Leah, he told me that Leah had to have it for a photo focuses. And so I knew what had occurred the wrong in terms of the competition and walk room. But when I heard that Leah had to have it for a picture, it felt like we as female athletes had been reduced to a photo op. It was almost as if everything that we had dedicated our lives to an organization we've dedicated our lives to the NCAA, we're so quick to turn their back on us to validate the feelings and the identity of a man. At the expense of us and our feelings in our identity, which was just beyond me and that's when it really became apparent that someone needed to speak out about this and it kind of hit me that because truthfully I was waiting for someone else too. I thought surely a coach or someone I was just relying on someone else, but it hit me that if we as female athletes weren't willing to stick up for ourselves, how could we necessarily expect someone else to stick up for us?

DeSantis Responds to Trump's Latest Attack
"We're on the Santa's response to Trump's claim that he's a groomer, wrote clip 7. And also just say this, I spend my time delivering results for the people of Florida and fighting against Joe Biden. That's how I spend my time. I don't spend my time trying to smear other Republicans. If he had a mic to drop, I think he'd have dropped the mic. I think that's a legitimate response to what Donald Trump did and what Donald Trump said it would Donald Trump used on social media. I think it's in the best interest of any Republican. To not waste time right now in a time such as this to smear other Republicans. Unless this Republican is a pedophile or something, then I can see you going out on the limb. But to attack one of the most prolific Republican governors is just not a smart deal. Run desantis is doing so many wonderful things. I really wish other governors would catch on what Ron DeSantis is doing in mimic it. All across the country. I mean, they should all be on one accord. Any rhetoric, any educational curriculum that's teaching CRT should be banned in every state of Republican is in. And if you're a Republican governor, you're not doing that, then you shame on you. Every Republican governor should take a stand against grooming our kids in the public school system. Take an immediate stance. Unacceptable. Every Republican governor, I would argue every governor but Democrats, they erases and they hate black people. So they're not going to do anything about it. But for the Republicans, every Republican governor should be governing governing like Ron DeSantis.

New Jersey Township's Elected Board Switches Political Parties
"Democrat mayor an entire New Jersey township council switches parties. From Democrat to Republican, this is the mayor and all four council members in New Jersey's east haven are hand over. I'm sorry. East handover township are switching from Democrats to Republican Party in a move. They say is the best interest of the community. The township have a population of about 11,100 people. Municipal leaders have a responsibility to best represent their constituents and it is our belief that change of party is in the best interest of the community. Mayor Joseph said, penult, I think it's. Maybe that's how you say it. That's what the mayor said on Tuesday. As the nastiness rhetoric and social media vitriol of national politicians of national politics continue to infiltrate local governance, we collectively determine this was the best course of action to keep our focus on local issues impacting our community. That's pretty interesting. It sounds like a cheap way to say we really want to switch because the Democrat party is lost their mind. I guess that's the easiest way to say it. But you know, I was speaking about this last night. I was at a Salem event after the event was over. You know, we had a little campfire and did some burnt offerings. And this is one of the subjects that we spoke about is the impact on how people are coming over to the party and what's the best way to do that. And I say the best way to get converts is to be honest. Be authentic, be yourself. That's it.

Chinese Spy Balloon Sought Secret US Communications Signals
"According to our sources, the United States government, it says that the Chinese balloon that was shot down is equipped. Was equipped to collect intelligence signals as part of a huge military linked aerial sky program that targeted more than 40 countries, the Biden administration said on Thursday, citing imagery from America's U2 spy planes. A fleet of balloons operates under the direction of the people's Liberation Army and is used specifically for spying outfitted with high-tech equipment, designed to collect sensitive information from target targets across the globe, the U.S. said similar balloons have floated over 5 continents according to the administration. The statement from the senior State Department official offered the most details to date linking China's military to the balloon that was shot down over the U.S. last weekend over the Atlantic Ocean.

Why Are People Falling Away From the Church?
"At some point, you're going to need to use power to deliver and rescue people. You're going to need power to be able to speak life to your children in the next generation. You're going to need power to be able to speak to your mom and daddy or your family member that's hot on crack cocaine. You're going to need more than just milk, you have to have something substantive. Same analogy with a baby. They start with milk and then they got to start eating some solid food. They can't just drink milk. They're going to die. They're not going to grow. Same thing with the things of God. What happens is they won't church to be like the club. They want you to feel like you could just keep living in a sinful life and just put a little sprinkle a little sugar on top of it and just make it better. You can't sprinkle, you can't sprinkle air freshen on a pile of poop. It's still going to be poop. And after a while, the air freshening will be the whole that smell down. You can't just sprinkle a little Jesus on a sin for life. You have to be enveloped. You have to be consumed and the churches are not doing it, and that's why people are falling away in my opinion. Because there's no power. There's no Salvation. There is no healing. There's no deliverance. I've been to many churches, not a lot. I am sad during a lot of churches, but I've been to some different churches. And there's churches you go in and you're like, I'm just listening to a motivational speech. Did the past and read a scripture yet? We're supposed to be in church. He had a reference to single Bible verse. What is really going on here? I feel like I'm here to be entertained. I'm not here to be challenged and loved. I'm here to be entertained. The flashy lights. All of the stuff that they put in modern churches today is nothing wrong with that if you're actually preaching the gospel. Then you go and you hear this feel good message of, you can do it. You got hope. Everything is going well for you. And you don't hear any of the gospel. You're like, well, if you were doing this, you need to change your ways and improve and become better.

What Is "He Gets Us?"
"I want to speak on this. This article from Associated Press, it says Super Bowl ads will tout Jesus gets us to the masses. It says religious religiously wary, weary, the spiritually curious, and anyone inclined to appeal to a higher power on game day are the target audience for a Super Bowl ad campaign with a simple message Jesus loves them. A group that includes wealthy Christian boosters is using the biggest megaphone TV marketing money can buy on Sunday to spread the word with two new ads that proclaim he gets us. They hope to count, they hope to counter the notion that religion is used to divide people, spending about $20 million to reach more than 100 million viewers at a time when the nation's Christian population and religious affiliated affiliations of any kind are in decline. Christianity is still the majority in the United States of America with 63% of adults defining themselves as believers, according to the 2021 pew research center survey. But that figure is down from 78% in 2007, and about 29% of Americans define themselves as a religious affiliate unaffiliated up from 16% in 2007.

The Horror Stories Around Penn Swimmer Lia Thomas
"I've been listening to a champion collegiate swimmer. She's girl, by the way. Oh, she's a young lady. She's a woman now. She tells these horror stories. Of this guy who's now known as Leah Thomas, walking around the University of Pennsylvania locker room naked, now he says he's a girl. But if he is clear to everybody there, ready and a girl. But she's the bad person. In this Thomas, when he was swimming as a guy was at best a mediocre swimmer. Wasn't setting any records wasn't really winning. I mean, he was hundreds and hundreds of places out of first place. Then all of a sudden, he says, oh, you know what? Actually a girl. Starts swimming as a girl now ordinarily, there would be somebody who said, wow, hang on a second there. You're not, you've checked the wrong box on this form. You're trying to join the wrong team. We have a men's swim team, and that's where you belong. Instead, they said, sure, come on in. And so he suits up in a girl's bathing suit. And all of a sudden is winning all sorts of competitions. Setting all sorts of records and breaking other records. But he's just not a, not a girl. He's not a woman.
The Bible Recap
Sibling Rivalry, Bitterness, And Jealousy in Genesis 30-31
"Yesterday whom he left off, Jacob had just married two sisters, Leah and Rachel, due in part to some deception from his father in law, and Jacob's wife Leah had just had four sons. Today we opened with Rachel being envious of Lia's ability to bear children. She put some weight on Jacob to get her pregnant, but Jacob gets defensive and points out that only God can give life. We'll see that repeatedly in this chapter. Rachel decided to follow the ways of her grandmother in law slash great great aunt Sarah by offering her maidservant Bill ha to her husband. If you recall, this did not go well for Sarah. Stick around to see if it solves all Rachel's problems. Bill ha had two children for Jacob and Rachel. But then Leah follows suit and gives her maid servant zilpah to Jacob and she has two more sons. So now the tally is Leah for Leah by zilpah to and Rachel by bilha two. But this sibling rivalry is far from over. Bitterness and jealousy have been growing in their hearts, and left unattended, a bitter heart will often resort to manipulation and retaliation, which is what Leah does next. Since Jacob probably spent most nights with Rachel, the wife he loved, Leah trades Rachel some plants in exchange for a night with Jacob. Interestingly, this particular plant, the mandrake, was believed to promote fertility, but it's also used to treat stomach ulcers, which I'm guessing they both had a lot of by this point. Do you see all the striving on both parts? Do you see how it's never enough for either of them? Do you see how the spirit of greed and comparison and their scarcity mentality is driving all their actions? This isn't love for God. It isn't love for Jacob. It doesn't even seem like love for their children. It looks a lot more like fear and idolatry and self promotion, Leah got pregnant for the 5th time and thought it was God's reward for generously sharing her servant with Jacob. But verse 17 tells us what actually happened. God just heard her cries. Leah didn't earn pregnancy through holy actions and good behavior. Especially since coercing your husband into infidelity isn't exactly good behavior. She controlled and manipulated. She misunderstands God's ways and still, God heard her desires in responded with a yes. Then Leah had two more kids, a 6th son and a daughter named dinah. So now we're up to 11 children between one wife and two maid servants. But then, Rachel had a son. Joseph. Bringing the total to 12. You can imagine which of these children might have been Jacob's favorite. And why?

The Selfishness of Lia Thomas and Transgender Athletes

They do want two of the friends I don't know how many times. The reason I'm bringing it up because the Tour de France is going on right now. He wants with a friends I don't know how many times 5 6 times that's almost impossible to do. And then he beat everybody over the head and said he wasn't taking drugs. Everybody knew him and everybody on his team and every other top cyclist is probably doping. He just get dope better. And he just demolished the emotions of people who would challenge him and he knew the whole time he was cheating. Same thing with Lil Thomas.

"That women just need to actually stand up for themselves. This is nuts. That you have women losing out to someone who was biologically not born a woman and therefore had the opportunity during all those many, many years until she decided to change over to grow her muscles with testosterone like a man would. I mean, I'm sorry, but this is this is the science. Guys, this is the science. And this is why I'd like to see women actually stand up for themselves here. What if all the athletes said, you know what? We're not going to race. If Leah Thomas is in the pool. By the way, Leah Thomas took 5th place in the 200 freestyle, and there was a very little fanfare, shall we say. There was not a lot of support coming from the audience there. If you watch the tape of her getting out of the pool and getting awarded this or even her being announced initially. And the reason there's no fanfare, the reason why there's no excitement, the reason is, is that the students themselves that are competing there. The parents and the families of the students themselves are saying, what the heck is going on? I mean, this is just in the name of fairness, all right? And I'm not going to get into all the other stuff that one could get into here. Let me just be fair and square.

Is monstrous and Putin says is on the verge of a crime against humanity. Vladimir Putin also suggests that transgender rights supporters were demanding an end to basic things such as mother, mother, father, family, or gender differences. So you have NATO, which is more like nay wow, which like the North Atlantic woke organization, going up against a totalitarian despot, and so you have these kind of two different types of totalitarian impulse is going against one another.

So Katie, you just explained the framework for this heated and obviously complicated debate. But what we do know definitively is that the NCAA is permitting Leah Thomas to compete this week at these championships, but I am curious what more we know about Leah, the person since we last spoke with you about her a couple of months ago. Leah, the person and I supposedly at the athlete has won three individual titles at the Ivy League championships. She also won a relay title as Penn's first relay win in their program history at the IVs, which was the top point score in that meat. And so she's been achieving at a high level. We also heard from her for the first time since she did an interview in December. She sat down with Sports Illustrated and shared some of how she sees herself. And it was really the first time that we had heard from Leah Thomas the person in some time. She's been very quiet throughout this process. She did not talk to me, for example, even though I tried to get her. But because Leah has been so quiet, we have not really had an opportunity to hear from her as both a person and an athlete about who she is, her motivations, and what this season has been like for her. And so that human perspective has really been missing even as she has been under a tremendous amount of pressure and scrutiny nationally. And those comments that you refer to that she had in Sports Illustrated, what did she say there? He or she really sort of defended herself from an identity perspective, you're really underscoring the fact that, you know, she's swimming in the women's category because she's a woman. And that's who she is. You know, and also that she tries to avoid the negativity that she's seeing online or that she knows exists online. And the hate that she has been getting. I shouldn't look into that and just tries to focus on swimming. So those were sort of the things that she really underscored and just trying to be the best swimmer that she can be. So that's Leah's first real public comments. In a long time. And in a parallel track, we've also gotten to hear from Leah's teammates that wasn't the case when we last spoke to you on this podcast. Yeah, that's correct. We hadn't heard from really anyone around pen other than some anonymous comments that had made their way to the media. But for teammates to go on the record both Andy Myers and Hadley de brun spoke to me and shared some of their perspective of what they had experienced with the season had been like and why they were coming out on the record and their particular case and support of Leah. But they really provided an insight into how challenging the season has been not just for Leah, although of course for her, but also for the entire team. And so talking about seeing some comments and make their way into the media that are about their locker room. Andy talked about standing next to Leah and having her photo taken. I mean, Katie, these are swimmers at the University of Pennsylvania, right? This is not a team that is otherwise getting covered or has ever been covered like this. Yeah, I think for a number of these swimmers, it's been really unsettling. They were relatively anonymous before any of this happened. And now they've got reporters sliding into their DMs, asking for interviews. They see photos of themselves, show up tabloid style and media outlets. They're constantly being asked for their opinions about something that is a very charged and emotional topic. And so that has been, I just think, really unsettling for a number of them. And it wasn't something that people were really expecting. And yet here they are, right in the middle of it, alongside their teammate. Yeah, none of us can be comfortable, Katie. And it doesn't seem like the team itself is especially harmonious either when it comes to how everyone has been feeling about this. How would you characterize sort of the lines that have been drawn internally at Penn? We don't have much information to be candid, but the information that we do have is largely from a series of dueling letters as it were. An unsigned letter that Penn athletics shared with me that was described as being from several of Lea's teammates. A statement of support from them. And then there was a letter sent to the Ivy League and NCAA by 16 of Lea Thomas teammates, also unsigned, so we don't know who those 16 were. In opposition to Leah. Yes, in opposition to Leah, basically expressing that they were not comfortable with her swimming in the women's category. And then there was a letter that was signed by over 300 members of the swimming community that expressed support for Leah, or at least expressed a desire to not have the rules changed in the middle of the season. That was organized by athlete ally and Skylar Baylor, who's a transgender man who swam at Harvard just a few years ago. And 5 of Leah's teammates signed that, including the brun and Andy Myers. And then yesterday, a petition was released from champion women, which is Nancy hogshead in the cars organization and the women's sports policy working group, of which Nancy is a member that had over 5000 signatures. Didn't mention Leah by name, but certainly was about transgender women and the policies, governing transgender women's participation in women's sports and definitely express a desire for those policies to be revisited and for the voices and desires of cisgender women and what that petition termed as fairness and safety be put.

"Said that she has shrunk about an inch. So for what it's worth. But, you know, there's a shrink your arms, you know, there are certain advantages, physiologically, and anatomically, that will remain. And one of the things that I thought was really interesting was the author of a study that looked at athletic outcomes, meaning sit ups, push ups, and a one and a half mile run among air force members before transition during transition and shortly after transition. You know, looked at those things and found that sit ups and push ups for transgender women came down to the levels of output for their cisgender peers, the one and a half mile run did decrease, not quite to the level of versus gender women were running, but the author of that study said, to me, like, yes, there are these anatomic advantages. If you are tall and slender hips with long limbs, that is an athletic advantage in certain sports. However, you know, anatomic advantage is an underlying truth of sport. And I think that's kind of the heart of the matter is what is an acceptable advantage versus what is not. For transgender people in sports who are transgressing these gender and sex boundaries that we have around these categories, they come with a different set of advantages and disadvantages in the various sports that they are competing in. And the question in front of us now as society is whether or not that particular mix of advantages and disadvantages is going to be acceptable and under what circumstances are they acceptable and are they unacceptable? And that seems to be the crux of what everyone is really grappling with right now. That science is sort of seeking to answer, but we don't have great answers from science, even.

"You are in Atlanta right now for the women's swimming and diving championships, which are happening this week. What is on the line for Lee there? The biggest thing that's on the line is actual championships. Katie Barnes is a feature writer for ESPN. Leah is swimming in three individual events. The 200 yard freestyle and the 500 yard freestyle in which she is the top seed for both events. And then the 100 yard freestyle where she is the tenth seed. Leah Thomas will be in the pool, possibly becoming the first transgender person to be a division one national champion. Last time we talked about Leah, she was swimming in the Ivy League championships. Leah Thomas, a transgender athlete assigned male at birth dominated this weekend's women swimming Ivy League championships winning three individual events in smashing records, comfort ships are important, but this is the moment that everyone was looking ahead to when we had Thomas first made headlines in December was whether or not she would become a national champion. And whether or not she would break records held by some of our favorite Olympians, like Katie ledecky and Missy Franklin. The story, of course, is about even more than just that, right? I mean, as big as those events are, what is the larger significance of the timing of this event happening right now? Well, we're in the middle of a broad cultural discussion and frankly debate about what it means to be transgender in this country. Leah Thomas from the beginning of her swimming career in women's swimming has been at the center of that debate. And so as legislation is pending around the country as there are possible protests brewing in Georgia. Really, what's at stake is a debate around who is allowed to be a woman who's allowed to win. The ideas of inclusion and fairness.

He was a collegiate swimmer for University of Pennsylvania as a man. The men's team. He was ranked at number 462. He now has taken hormones and has transitioned. He says that he's a woman, and he must compete on the women's team. And the coaches are like, great. We're going to win. And guess what? He's smoking all the women. He is finishing a full minute ahead of the other competitors. He goes from number 462 to first. And this week, Eric, he is competing in the NCAA championship at Virginia or excuse me.

"Swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania are getting a lot of attention and fueling a debate over transgender athletes in college sports. There's buzz that she would become the NCAA's first division one transgender national champion. This comes as roughly 280 anti LGBTQ+ bills have been proposed in state legislatures, targeting transgender youth access to sports and healthcare. Leah really embodies the nightmare scenario for a lot of people who criticize transgender inclusion in sports in that she has a history of swimming on the men's team at the University of Pennsylvania, and then for her senior season, is swimming on the women's team.

And that has provided a lot of fodder for people who don't think that transgender women in particular should be allowed to compete in girls and women's sports. And so what's at stake here, Katie, as Leah Thomas is about to take her mark to dive into the pool. Given the backdrop you just gave us, what is on the line here? It was a simple question.

"The apostles also assigned to help using a book. They'd found in the library that apparently had like one loan drawing of one wing of a hypothetical glider. The men figured out all the specs and set to work building in their rooms. They quickly realized though that as the pieces came together they needed a bigger less conspicuous place to build so these dudes built a fake wall in the attic of the chapel using shutters and mud. How i hear you asking. Did they get mud into the attic. By using dust folks they made mud out of dust even if they had brought heaps of mud up to the attic from the outside considering what else they managed to get up there without being caught mud would have been a piece of cake. Oh they also built a trap door in the attic floor. In order to access their secret workshop both wings took more than six thousand pieces to build six thousand pieces. I should mention that. We're all made by hand. They used floorboards and bed slats. They used some of the food. They were rationed to seal the cloth covering the glider. The cloth was made of bedsheets. According to a piece about this a novaya quote to make just one rib they had to shape a piece of wood. Steam it to render it pliable bend and then finally glued into place and the glider required hundreds of these. The roof above the chapel attic was conveniently the perfect launching spot and was part of the castle that was unseen by guards. The design included police and ropes and counterweights. I don't know. I'm not an engineer. But part of the plan included a bathtub full of cement. That would be dropped off the cliff into the courtyard below. Look okay. I can see smuggling floorboards like not really but i can see someone casually walking down the hall with the floorboard stuff down their pants but a bathtub filled with cement. Even if you wait to fill it with cement until you get it up to the attic. How're you syrup tissue carrying a fucking bathtub through an entire castle filled with nazis. You'd think at least one. Nazi would have seen people lugging a bathtub through the castle and been like a nice veda minute vodka. You're doing this best talk. That was my nazi accent. Also wears this bathtub coming from. Isn't anyone going to notice a missing tub. next time. They go to take a hot bath after a day of being piece of shit nazis not to mention the cement. And what were the nazis doing this whole time that they're prisoners are flitting about the castle hither and thither prying up floorboards and stripping stuff of wires and shit and no one noticed that the attic was suddenly eight feet shorter. One day like veered. I saw this room was. I don't know room lia. The plan was to make the escape during an air raid blackout which i assume includes one of those super loud air raid sirens that way when they dropped the bathtub.
