In a new “Sunday Special” interview, Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro spoke to Riley Gaines about her experience competing against a trans-identifying man and asked her about the current state of women’s sports. Shapiro noted that Gaines has a new book out, “Swimming Against the Current: Fighting for Common Sense in a World That’s Lost its Mind,” which hit bookstore shelves on Tuesday. In her book, Gaines discusses her experience and addresses hot button questions about women and sports in America. During their hour-long discussion, Gaines recalled what it felt like to swim against — and tie with — trans-identifying biological male Lia Thomas during the 2022 NCAA championship. “How exactly did you go about dealing with that?” Shapiro asked Gaines. Gaines explained that her school, the University of Kentucky, made it clear to the women’s swim team that, “we have already taken your stance for you,” she said. “So there was a lot of fear, really. I mean, the threats and the intimidation that they had instilled at the time, that to me seemed real, which now I realize what a bunch of mumbo jumbo, all that stuff was. That was not based in reality at all,” she said. “But nonetheless, upon getting to the meet those feelings of intriguement and curiosity and feeling like we were in this circus shifted immediately to feelings of heartbreak, really. I mean, I think that’s the best way to put it. I’ll never forget that first day,” Gaines said. Gaines recounted how when she tied with Thomas in one race, an official told her that they only had one trophy and it had to go to Thomas. “The NCAA official looks at both Thomas and myself, Thomas towering over me, and the official says, ‘Great job you two, but you tied and we only have one trophy. So we’re going to give the trophy to Lia. Sorry, Riley, you don’t get one,'” Gaines remembered. When she asked why, the official told her they had been advised that it was crucial Thomas was holding the trophy when photos were taken. “That’s what the unfair competition looked like,” Gaines said. The trophy incident was the moment she decided she had to do something, Gaines said. Since then, the former University of Kentucky swimmer has been an outspoken advocate for girls’ sports. “Since then I’ve only been reassured that the stand that I have taken unapologetically and firmly is in fact the right stand,” Gaines told Shapiro. “I never questioned this, but the vitriol that I face, the anger, the violence in many instances that I face for merely saying that there are two sexes and that you can’t change your sex and that each sex is deserving of equal opportunity, privacy and safety.” Gaines also described how uncomfortable it was to have a “fully naked, fully intact man” changing in the locker room with them. “It’s awkward. It’s embarrassing. It’s uncomfortable. I think the best words to describe the locker room atmosphere was I mean, it felt like betrayal. It was an utter violation, and it was traumatic,” she said. Gaines also criticized President Biden’s administration for its “illegal administrative rewrite of Title IX,” the 1972 federal civil rights law prohibiting sex-based discrimination at schools receiving federal funding. Last month, the Education Department unveiled new Title IX regulations to prohibit schools from enforcing blanket bans on trans-identifying males in girls’ sports set to take effect in August. “It doesn’t make sense, but that’s their goal, is to blur the lines of objective truth, of biological reality,” Gaines said. However, Gaines said she also sees reasons to be hopeful. “I certainly believe that the tide is turning,” she said. “I mean, truth and sanity, they always prevail. It’s kind of just a matter of how long do we have to endure this, how many girls have to lose out, how many girls have to be injured, how many girls have to be exploited in locker rooms before people find it necessary and worthwhile and urgent, quite frankly, to take action.” Shapiro asked the former college swimmer, “What is your message to female athletes who are rising right now and facing these challenges on a real time basis?” “Well, first and foremost, I encourage every single person to play sports,” Gaines responded. “But my message to those young girls who are, who might face this or who fear facing this is to be bold, be brave, be courageous, don’t be scared to talk about it. I was. But when I finally got the courage to not really walk on eggshells anymore, to have the conversation with people around me, my teammates, what have you, I realized they all agreed with me.”

Continuing this series with the Eagles seemed fitting since we started with Jackson Browne. The Eagles are one of the most loved bands in classic rock history. For a group that first started in the early 1970s, the band has not released many albums. Internal strife caused many problems, ending their first run before they had been together for ten years. After the Long Run was released in 1979, it would be fifteen years before the band recorded again when they released a handful of new songs on their live album Hell Freezes Over. Another thirteen years would pass before The post The Eagles Best Song From Each Of Their Studio Albums appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

NY Governor Quietly Grants Clemency to Murderers

The New York Post reported that a man who suffered severe burns after another man threw flaming liquid on him on the subway Saturday jumped in front of his fiancée to keep her from injuries.The report noted that Petrit Alijaj, 23, was almost fully covered in bandages while giving a comment about the incident from a hospital. The victim was still in shock from what appeared to be a random attack. 'While I was running I was burning.'Physicians said Alijaj has burns on roughly 30% of his body, and that he is expected to remain in the hospital for at least another week or two. But the victim said it was worth it to protect his soon-to-be wife, saying, "I protect my fiancée with my body."While he said he was not experiencing much pain during the interview, he suggested the pain was severe when the incident first happened.A second report noted that the flaming liquid was tossed on Alijaj and soon caught fire after the substance made contact with his shirt. The suspect tried to flee immediately after the incident, but he was eventually caught by law enforcement. As a result, transit trains were delayed following the incident. One X post read: "Southbound 1 trains are running with delays after NYPD responded to a report of a person being disruptive on a train at Houston St." — (@) Alijaj got on the train with his fiancée and his cousin en route to see the Statue of Liberty. The perpetrator, later identified as Nile Taylor, 49, stepped onto the train with a cup full of liquid.“He had a cup,” Alijaj said. He pointed to a cup on his bedside table, "like this, maybe smaller, something inside, like oil, he made fire and he threw it all."Alijaj's shirt quickly caught fire and he started slapping the fire with his hands. "I touched myself to put out the fire," he said."So while I was running I was burning," he added.The victim was concerned that Taylor stepped off the train to retrieve more liquid. At some point during the incident, Alijaj managed to rip off his shirt to put the flames out.Alijaj did not think the burns were that bad until blisters developed by the time he arrived at the hospital. It is still unclear how severe the burns are.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!
