And I remember leaving that locker room immediately and, of course, calling my dad. And I said, Dad, he's in our locker room. And my dad said, Riley, you're going to come. Of course, they don't let parents or spectators from the stands, you know, come down onto the pool deck. It's reserved for only the athletes and coaches and officials. He said, Riley, I have a plan.

There's a side door over here. I'm going to say I'm your university's bus driver. Let me down there now and I'll handle this myself.

No, I will agree with the sentiment that I see videos all the time. on social platforms of these opportunists. I mean, I think that's the best word. These narcissistic parents who, I mean, I don't even, I can't even put myself in their shoes. Of course, I don't have children yet, but I have parents.

selling out their children, but worse than that, I mean, they're irreversibly harming their children to their own benefit. And that's, again, that's what we've seen across the board with the transgender movement. The medicalization side of things, the chemical and surgical castration of children for profit, right?

If they weren't making money on this, they wouldn't do this. Could you imagine walking into a doctor's office and saying, don't really feel like having a right arm today. Could you cut it off? Your doctor, physician, surgeon would look at you like you're literally insane. But because they can attach a price tag to it, and we saw this. We saw it in my backyard. I live in Nashville, Tennessee.

And that video of this Vanderbilt clinician who came out and said, you know, forget abortions. We can only make $200, $250 for every abortion. These are lifelong patients that we're creating. These are cash cows, $70,000 to $100,000 per procedure. And we have them for life. And just knowing all of this is being done for profit, it makes me sick.

It was clear to me, my teammates, and my competitors that they had reduced everything we had worked our entire lives for down to a photo op to validate the feelings and the identity of a male. We also had to share a locker room and change in front of this six-foot-four, fully intact, naked male. We were not forewarned of this arrangement.

It is a joy to be here. What a movement, really, you have and your team have been able to build. And we saw the impact that you've had on November 5th. So truly a blessing to be here. Just did a bunch of meet and greets with the students, which is the most revitalizing thing. It just reminds me why we fight the fight. So always a joy to work alongside you.
