Mike Rowe: Riley Gaines HATES Losing More Than She Loves Winning | The Way I Heard It

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2024
- The 12-time NCAA All-American, 5-time SEC Champion, and 2-time Olympic qualifier who went from being one of the fastest collegiate swimmers in the world to a controversial women's rights advocate talks about what it takes to train in a pool six hours per day, why she’s not going to be training to be an endodontist, and recounts the harrowing experience of being held captive on the campus of San Francisco State University. Her new book is Swimming Against the Current: Fighting For Common Sense in a World That’s Lost Its Mind.

Riley you are not controversial, you are a brave, wise, articulate young lady. Thank you for speaking truth.
Agree, refreshing to see a young woman who listens, thinks and is articulate!
Brave!? I think she's a god damned coward, along with all of her other spineless comrads. The level of cowardess demonstrated by all who submit to this bullshit deserves only SHAME and CONTEMPT!
That being said, when they stand before THE JUDGE they won't here "Enter in thou good and faithfull servant'. What they will hear instead is, "You may enter but only after you endure punishment for the sin you committed against ME and your kindred people."
The only thing controversial about this is the people who perpetrated this craziness
We need more women like Riley 👏
Agreed, she is an inspiration for the whole of society.
Her story highlights the madness of pretending that trans women are biological women. This is completely unscientific and clearly crazy.
She has helped to slow society's descent into madness.
She deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for this contribution.
Riley is an incredible woman, and only 24 years old. OH MY!
Well, spoken, brave, funny in a great dry sarcastic way. Can you imagine a better representative for women's sports?!?❤
…and extremely good looking. Total package.
I’m so thankful she spoke out and is now leading the way back to sanity on this issue. She’s a winner in my eyes in what matters most, sharing the truth!
BULLSHIT, YOU GIRLS COULD OF ALL WALKED OUT AND AWAY !
BUT THAT WOULD TAKE SOME BALLS

@@OMG_No_Way models and influencers that look like healthy all American girls are out. Riley brings it back into fashion
One of the most terrifying points about Riley's experience is that she had to attend a "reprogramming" therapy session. That ALONE is unbelievable. Thank you Mike Rowe and Riley Gaines for keeping this in the public eye!!!
Sounds a lot like communism and socialist countries to me
I can see "Reprogramming" Camps in our future if things don't turn around.
The fact the .highest level of women's sports is subjected to such s disgraceful show of college sports leadership cowards, that bowed to this is outrageous.
There's a national gym that has sided with something just like this.
They allowed men in the ladies locker room, and these men choosing to go into the ladies locker room, and they went to jail for being there.
The college championship records should be stricken, and the women who placed in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th places should be moved up to the placed they really finished the races at.
The officials responsible for this tragic situation should be removed from the positions they have, and replaced by someone who understands what's logical in situations like this.
The fact that these women were threatened that if they spoke out about this, would be smothered under the powers of the boards thumb.
That's animals reason they should be removed from their positions.
Even have criminal charges filed against them all for all the wrongs they've done to these women.
Totally against what they've done, and the full power of the law should fall upon them, and they should serve time at the roughest prisons for their cowardly way.
Nothing against the one's who believes that they are the opposite sex than they were born to.
It's sad that they have to deal with this, but when they force her as a hostage in San Francisco college auditorium threatening her is again wrong and they all should be taken to court with full charges brought against them for kidnapping her.
That is a federal crime, and falls under the FBI's authority, and not in the local police departments authority.
There again the chief of police in both cities should be removed from their positions and charges filed against them as well.
@johnokamoto6762 exactly, I would file a lawsuit so fast.
You know it’s just a camp where you can consentrate I feel like we’ve put these two words together something like 80 years ago … 🤔
This is TOTALLY B.S.!
I'm 68 and never dreamed our country would fall to this low of lows....my God!
Keep speaking the truth Riley and Thank you for stepping up!
Thanks to Obama, Biden and Harris!!!
It's not our country. It's a faction of special interest. Don't be afraid to stand up for what's right. Don't cower in the face of evil. This isn't about cis/trans. This is about a man who didn't want to fairly compete. This is about associations that are putting money above everything else. This is about cowardly administrators afraid to stand up for truth. This is cowardice defined. Fight.
Are you a Democrap?
A lady with steel up her spine - this is what a leader looks like - respect
Exactly, it's just a shame that other girls and coaches haven't got the gumption to stand up - the only way to change this absurd behaviour is for ALL real female swimmers to boycott swim meets where non-biological "females" are competing. Swimming administrators will soon see the affect with sponsors dropping out and the cash cow disappearing.
The mistake you make Riley is assuming that 6.4 ft man is capable of any degree of shame or embarrassment, having tied with you. The same man who gets his kit off in a changing room full of appalled women, strides across the pool deck in a woman’s swimsuit, tackle on full display. Happy to cheat his way to the finish, stand proud on the podium, accept the trophy with his man sized hands and smile for the cameras. This person is incapable of shame and embarrassment! Keep fighting, you’re an inspiration and we will stand with you to protect the next generation of girls!
It’s clear that Lee Thomas, along with many girly men, suffers from autogynephilia.
Your comment is "dead on." My vision of the future is Will deciding to de-transition since the benefits have been decreased. He will be happy to expound on how he was brainwashed. He might give a lame apology but more likely he will project himself as the victim. We are already seeing those who are de-transitioning so the pathway is already created and he will avail himself of it. Welcome to the Twilight Zone.
Exactly. If that man had an ounce of womanhood in him he would have steped aside and congratulated her.
If that "man/woman/child" thing had an ounce of decency, it would never have competed against women in the first place.
BULLSHIT, YOU GIRLS COULD OF ALL WALKED OUT AND AWAY !

Riley Gaines is one of the bravest women I’ve ever seen. She’s doing the Lord’s work against this evil.
Truth
Now that's a woman. An American woman.
I'm not evil vs good but women vs women is what GOD and thinking humans are going for@
I agree. ✝️🇺🇸👍🏼
The women swimmers including Riley Gaines allowed Leah Thomas to shit all over them, and they didn't do one thing about it except sit there and eat it.
The world needs more Riley Gaines, DESPERATELY.

She needs a statue in her name!
Abso-freakin-lutly
Actually, the world needs those who write the laws to stand up for what is right. They have more to lose than Riley, who is unencumbered by dependents, but they will turn the tide.
This 24-year-old woman has more common sense and morals than half the adults.
The adults who propagate these lies disgust me.
Riley and young people like Riley give me hope for our future. There is a line in the sand that’s been crossed, we need more people like Riley stand up for and against this evil.
We should all aspire to be as brave in our convictions as this young woman. Thank you Riley.
I’m an Aussie and I had heard of what was happening with you Riley and the utter disbelief of these men deciding to say they are women! That the controlling body has disgustingly blithely allowed men to enter the change room, that poor young girls are being subjected to men competing against them and entering the change room. Riley I Praise the Lord for your stand, God has given you the words and the guts to stand up against this immoral situation that we are facing. I used to be a field hockey goalie not kitted up like nowadays, I played cricket and also I would have given up having to play against men masquerading as women. God bless you and protect you. 🙏s
money talks and people will follow the money
Wokeism enabling such injustice commin to ALL western so-called democracies @ speed now . 🌏 BEWARE !!
Ms. Gaines is one of the most important voices for women in the history of the United States, if not all of history. Thank you Riley for drawing a line in the sand.
I am glad for people like Riley especially young people I have been on the end of political correct punishment in ny job in the 90"s they say those things have now changed.since I left in 96 I really don't know.I spoke out about 2 separate issues in one of their "brain washing" sessions the only other person to do so was a legal immigrant who agreed with me.SINCE she was I don't think they tried the same tactics on her.I saw some of the older people nodding in agreement but kept their mouths shut some of the younger ones were perplexed like both issues were concepts they never heard before😢
Not even close
@@cyrinixWho do you think is the most important woman in US history?
I'm not a competitive swimmer but l became an athlete in a different sport from the age of 7.
I dedicated a lot of time trainining to the point where l got to rep trials, which is a step up from club where you represented the region where all other clubs you played against would vai for positions in a team that represent city/province.
I understand how important training is. I was a football player, and l know exactly how much training and dedication goes into swim sports. Those hours are phenomenal compared to the hours l dedicated to what l always thought was a lot training for football.
I'm 65 now, and l take my hat off to you, Riley, and l feel heartbreak for the athletes that were clearly unfairly and ruthlessly targeted by the NCAA and the LGBT and related community supporters. The degree of what l can only describe as emotional blackmail is absolutely and unequivocally abhorrent.
God Bless you Riley Gaines.
The waves of time do wash over the lines in the sand..
People in this country need to stand up and protect all our children from this madness.

Naaaah not just USA BUT WHOLE 🌏 Riley needs to be awarded ' Noble Prize ' 💣💥as JPK calls it🤯 On 2nd thoughts BOTH ' Noble & NOBEL PRIZE ' !! Riley truly deserves BOTH awards🤛
WE pay via the teachers union to make this normal...
Thank you Mike Rowe for being brave enough to have Riley on the podcast.

Democrats at their finest
I enjoyed the chemistry of all three
Abso-freakin-lutly
It was a great interview!
I must say that speaking about bravery, this young woman actually leads by example and puts a lot of women as well as mem to shame!
I find it to be really sad that these dangerous positions that Riley is put in and fighting so hard for boil down to be nothing more than common sense.
The culture in America is in a weak place. Where basic truths are under attack, and I, for one, believe that there are demonic forces that we are up against!
May God bless America with common sense! 🙏
I am a 68 year-old man, a father and a grandfather of girls, who had tears in my eyes watching this interview. It's sad to realize that we now live in a world that cannot define what a woman is because feelings are more important than biology and common sense.
not just feelings, but money also defines
Amazing people and a must watch episode!❤
But only *certain* people’s feelings…
Truly infuriating story... these college and NCAA officials should be in jail.. no less
Shame on the NCWA for their UTTER FAILURE TO PROTECT!
They didn't "fail" in their mission to perpetuate a lie.
Shame on them Indeed. 😢😮😢
Wth is shame on them phrase anyway? It's a poor way to express that you'll tolerate what happens and its not very important to people. I'm sick of that saying... Shame shame shame.
They not only did not protect, they were impart the perpetrator!
Rock and Roll.
Go Riley. Speak the truth. Keep it real. Respect for your podcast Mike

wrong. make no mistake, had she "taken" a "stand" that day MONEY alone would have ended it; it always does! remember, if your old as i, it was women who started this bullshit about 50 years ago starting with the boy scouts of america followed by little league. congratulations, i am woman hear me ROAR. 50 years later, NOT SO "cute" now is it. just like voting every decision has consequences... case in point.
Mike I’m so happy you had her on your show. You have common sense. That’s lacking in this country and media period!!!
Yep. I just started listening and can’t stop. Excellent podcast, host, guests. Haven’t breathed such good air in… years.
Mike's nothin but ' White Commonsensarian ' soon to be on DHS list soon .ie ' TREAT TO DEMOCRACY' list 😯
Riley, the grave injustice you had to endure has put you on a path to shine light on evil and you're doing a magnificent job. God bless you.
About 1:17:22: "morally bankrupt weak-kneed spineless cowards". I think she has described most all politicians...
My head snapped up when I heard her say that. This is the quote of the show!
She forgot to add "feeding at the public tax money trough".

The rage this ideology creates within me is very overwhelming. Why are we not putting those who are doing this, the main money people, front and center and posting their faces and names on every platform, showing who is the reason for doing this? Why? Shine the light on all of the people who are evil and want to destroy everything good and promote everything evil. God Bless Riley Gaines! God Bless Mike Rowe and his crew!
It is about the destruction of the United States from the inside. Brainwashing the youth for a few generations and we are done.
George Soros, WEF, Klaus Schwab, Noah Harari and the whole communist Democrat party. Obama was a key person in pushing the DEI initiative.
SHOCKING THAT SO MANY "INTELLIGENT" PEOPLE IN POSITIONS OF LEADERSHIP COULD BE SO LACKING IN COURAGE TO "JUST SAY 'NO!'"----THE BRAINWASHING OF THE LEFT---TOTALLY A "SPIRITUAL POWER" AT WORK IN AMERICA, IN THE WORLD...AGAINST THE GOD OF CREATION....BUT WE KNOW WHO WINS.

@Fearmocker A very logical way to expose these so called pundits for destroying our ingrained values of honor an decency..My outlook is that they are groomers of children so they can indoctrinate the warped sexual tendencies in order to advance their ideology...It's seen countless times with instances of child molestation..Some of these powerful leftist delusional folks are being exposed but there are still too many...Having some exploitative material in schools at grammar point of education is so obvious ,also drag queens reading their filth to kindergarten level kids is abominable..Thank you for standing up for the logic,ethos ,and Pathos of a decent society..
Riley is an incredible young woman. She is mature beyond her years. Thank you, Mike (and Chuck), for welcoming her and for giving her an opportunity to share her experience.
It is truly sad that her growth as a human being has been forced by those denying what it is to be human.

@@RayAndressbut she’s got a good, stable upbringing from a family that puts God at the helm and loves and supports one another. Strong foundations build a temple that can weather any storm. God has her back, so does her family and 80% of the nation. She’s going to be better for it
Thanks Mike. I really appreciated the chance to hear her story. It breaks my heart that worked so hard for so long and was robbed of her dream. She WILL have a legacy that reaches far into the future for speaking out.
This is a woman who actually embodies the phrase "stunning and brave."
Mike Rowe, I have been a fan since The Most. And it is still one of my favorite programs of all time.
"Stunning and Brave" yes - she is. Would that Riley's quality, strength, and grace would be the norm in our country instead of the exception.
She is hilarious, with a great sense of humor. Brave woman.
Thanks Riley for your courage and Mike for not interrupting.
Mike is a good host/ interviewer. He respects his guests.

@@gstlynx yes Mike was great - not interrupting, as so many interviewers do. My first time watching his show and I was impressed.
Riley is simply one of the greatest living Americans. Her courage seems to be unlimited. Massive respect.
As a woman who never competed or was into in any sports, I love Riley‘s stance and the fact that she speaks with God, just makes it that much better. The entire ordeal was absolutely ridiculous and shameful. Even though she was not given that trophy, we all know she won. May God bless her and protect her and her family. And may her walk, be a light to the world, in the saving grace & name of Jesus ❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you Riley for having the courage to speak out against this blatant injustice. Thank you Mike and crew for doing this podcast. As a woman more of us need to speak up. I don’t care what you may believe as long as your beliefs don’t infringe on my rights to be safe and protected. That is not phobic in any way, that is my right as a biological woman and as an American citizen. So if a man who is delusional thinks his rights come before mine he has another think coming. So I will be causing an almighty stink, if one of these “trans” men tries to invade any woman designated area that I am in. My rights don’t end where your feelings began.
Great interview. My hats off to Riley and her ability to stand up against the NCAA. I wish all women students would stand up and walk off every event to push the NCAA to address this travesty to women's sports.

The Bible says the silent bystander will be judged harsher than the bully, for they are of sober, sound mind, not blinded by rage or insanity. They just reached a crossroad and took a left, the easy way out
Riley was born for a time such as this. GOD BLESS HER.

This is so scary because it sounds like another country NOT the USA 😢
Other countries they're still in closet or most likely would be unalived 😊?
@@ralphmajor1947yeah, something we need to start doing here in the US. (I’m not being serious, but still the point stands. This total destruction and deterioration of our society needs to be changed.)
Yeah it's like 2020 was a flip switch!
not trying to be political, but who would have thought 10 yrs ago that a person with no skill set, those views and history could become the president
Man, this gets my blood pressure up. The world has gone crazy. We all need to stand up to this stuff. Ty Riley !
My grandmother was a great swimmer. They wanted her for the US Olympic Team approx. 1914-1915. They used to swim from buoy to buoy at Coney Island. Her mother made her go to work to bring money into the house. She wound up being the lead off swimmer for Annette Kellerman at the famous New York Hippodrome. Grandma taught me how to swim at Coney Island.
I love what this young woman has to say....we NEED more leaders like her!
It's time for people to grow a spine.
"Good Germans" hits the nail right on the head Mike. We cannot let all of this craziness keep going on. We need to speak up for ALL of it!
We are facing even more immoral consequences with the Biden , Harris and Obama clan at the helm ! I hope people wake up soon.
Such respect for Riley. Great episode!
What shocks me is that this is even happening in Our lives! Riley, thank you for your courage, steadfastness and stand. Blessings and support!
Man. I love Riley! A MUST WATCH! We do need more Riley Gaines! So strong, so Intelligent, and well spoken! I could use less "old people" comments...lol. Good Bless you 🙏
It's very scary how the establishment (misguided and wrong) blatantly tries to intimidate/manipulate a young person by telling her she will suffer in her personal life if you don't bend to their beliefs and agendas. Such a strong and brave woman to speak out, and Mike's show to help her have her voice reach others.
It's straight out or Orwell. Do what we say and think what we tell you or you will suffer.

@@ronobrien7187well he was close with many of the evil people that created these issues. So he absolutely had real factual basis and not just prophecy.
They changed the locker room to unisex to avoid federal charges for ignoring title IX. But to date not one federal prosecutor has filed a single motion against these university. Now ask yourself why?
Part of the Saul Alinsky-Barak Hussein Obama plan.
Goes all the way to the White house.

Best and most important podcast I have ever seen. Thank you Mike Row and Riley Gains. Ever American needs to see this.
Riley you have been an inspiration for my young girls. I tell them your story and how you didn't back down from the woke insanity infesting our society. Keep it up girl you are amazing don't ever forget that. Thank you. From a man just trying to raise his girls with his amazing wife.

This was one of your most impactful episodes -- way to go Mike & Riley!
This whole thing brought tears to my eyes. Riley you are my hero. I’m one of those ‘old’ people too and it breaks my heart daily to see the world all of you youngsters are going to live in. You are brave and you are right. Keep talking. Keep going on every talk show you can. The part of the interview that brought me to tears was when Mike brought up the German people. I used to wonder how they didn’t see and now I know …. and it’s happening today.
Wow, just wow. Major, major props to Ms. Gaines. I could not be more impressed with her and while I had a surface level awareness of this issue, I had NO IDEA of much of what she so eloquently highlighted. Shame on me for being late to the party, but I intend to help her going forward. Keep the momentum going Riley, keep it going. Thanks to Mike Rowe for giving her a platform to describe her experiences too.
The most impossible situation is a man in the women's locker room. The most impossible stand to take, I wish all the women on the team would call a press conference and walk out en masse. I know it would be crushing to do, but would that be any more crushing than going into a competition knowing, without doubt, you will not win. God, please have mercy on our souls.
remember, they were brainwashed to think the worst would happen if they did
Riley please don't let ur voice or ur spirit b stopped...ever. You speak for millions of young women, parents and grandparents who feel their voices have no power. You carry the power that they have lost. You are a wonderment! God bless you and God Bless Mike for his work with bringing American work ethics and skills back into our society.

The more I see of Riley. The more she impresses me. Im sure this is not the course she would have chosen for her life. But I can’t imagine anyone doing a better job!! Thanks yall for leading the fight!!❤btw i just heard that Thomas lost the legal battle to swim as a girl in the Olympics!!👏👏👏👏👏
🙏☝
Sad that the male is up for the Olympics and not Riley. 😢
Miss Gaines wanted to pursue a different path, but she was CHOSEN for this one. May God Bless her and keep her safe on the road she is on, doing great things!
“Lead with Grace but Land with Truth”❤
Mike and Riley, Our Major Corporations are taking the same stance as NCAA and multiple Universities are taking. Much to my dislike, we as employees are forced to accept DEI and LGBTQ. The world needs to stop harming people (children) to make a minority group more accepted and comfortable. Thank you Riley for speaking out. I support you 110%
When I grow up, I wanna be like Riley Gaines...even though I'm over twice her age.
Now THAT’s courage. I mean REAL courage.
@@Guinevere.625 such a put down for men to think they cannot achieve in men’s sport.
😅😂❤ but..... if we could do it again.... 😅 she is awesome! What a role model though! Yeah?! 😊
Mr. Rowe and Riley Gaines, I am not belong to any Religious Group..., Mad Respect to both of You for this Conversation... All Factual...Thank You.
Riley, your parents did an outstanding job raising you. I'm in awe of you rising to this challenge to speak up and call out all of this insanity going on. Thank you Mike for having Riley on your show. It's good to hear common sense discussions during this truly bizarre time in our lives.
Holy cow! Incredible interview. Go Riley! Praying for you and your courage continues. May God continue to bless you.
Riley thank you for standing up for our rights! Mike you are a national treasure!❤
Riley's story, who she is, is A GREAT REMINDER to parents: Days are LONG, but the YEARS are short, Keep your eye on the long game, recognizing who your children are becoming 💪🏻
Mike, thank you for sharing Riley Gaines. She is a tremendous speaker....and rarity of rarity, a college graduate who is standing her ground with her beliefs. I hope that she is able to rock a lot of boats and sink more than a few....to sue as needed....to remind all that we all have freedom of speech and freedom to think and believe what we choose - not what we are mandated to speak, think, or believe. Thank you Riley for what you doing. Mike, perhaps you and a couple of hundred of your Dirty Jobs crews need to be at Alcatraz in July when Riley swims...support for Riley and support for our veterans who fought for what we believe in.

I've heard her story so many times, and the consistency in which she tells it is incredible. It shows non of it is a lie or inflated for effect
This is what I have always imagined an "All American Hero" looked like. Love and support from South Africa.
Such a great Podcast. I had no idea the college administration treated/threatened her and her teammates the way they did after the swimming event. Thanks Riley for being so open and honest and standing up for the rights of our children. As a grandmother of six young granddaughters I pray they never have to go through what you did when they go out for sports. I’m going to get your book and give it to them as a learning tool in how to stand up for your rights. Best of luck in all your future endeavors, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Thank you SO much for having Ms. Gaines on. I have even more respect for you both after watching this.
If Mr. Thomson harms himself? It's all on him.
Do you mean Liar Thomas?
Yes.
1000% with you, Riley!!!!
Riley Gaines is a super star headed for victory.
She has my prayers and $ support. Thank you Mike and Chuck for this excellent Show. I will pass it on.
Riley is a rock star!!
What an incredible person!!
Her parents are exactly what every parent should be!!
Raising a strong, loving, no BS adult.
Wanting better for your child, doesn’t mean give them everything, it means teaching them to be better!!!
As an adult.
Great job Riley.
I don’t personally know you, but I promise you, that you give others strength for doing the right thing in life!!
You are a gift!! Thank you for simply being awesome!!
Every parent or grandparent of girls needs to listen to this.
Grandparents especially! Older people who don't do social media, youtube or tik tok and only watch mainstream news and not the news magazines and soft news do not realize this is happening and they do not realize the extent the Biden administration has promoted this garbage.
NCAA owes you and the other females damages for what they put you through. Thank you for standing up for the ladies!

Riley is incredible. Strong , articulate, wise and quick witted. We need her!!
Glad Mike had her on. What a shame she had to go through this. . The world has gone crazy.
Keep strong Riley! Most of us here in Canada are behind you and support you.
Not really knowing what Riley actually went through and then listening to this interview, I was utterly shocked and disgusted at what this unbelievable and brave woman went through!! I have always stood by Riley and her fight but this just put it at the top of how I feel even more as a conservative Christian woman and the brain washing that these institutions are doing to our children!! Love Riley and love Mike Rowe for talking about what really happened. Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤
Riley seems like a natural born leader. She has the skills and the strength to deal with what we're up against. Nice work, Riley!
One of the very best interviews I’ve ever seen! Thank you Mike, Chuck, and Riley! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you Mike for having Riley on your podcast. 🎉
I love listening to this young woman
I'm not American..but I am a woman .. she make me proud and encouraged
I was a swimmer for 10 years. Plastic doll hair and constant bloodshot eyes were also hallmarks of competitive swimmers! Congratulations Riley for all you have accomplished and are committed to. Don't stop!!
Yes. Dads will go to jail/prison for their children.
Yes we will.
And moms !!
@@wdwrenee Very true. However, my husband has told me if it ever comes down to one of us needing to do what needs to be done and then going to prison? He will do it. He doesn't want me in prison with a man claiming to be a women.
So will Grandma’s ! I’m 51 and my LIFE is my Grands…which I’ll happily trade for their SAFETY. I’m sick of being called CIS or chest feeder or a birther. I’m a Woman!!!!
I hope all the parents ready to go to prison to protect their kids from trans people meet the parents ready to go to prison to protect their trans kids from people who hate and fear them, because then a whole bunch of parents will be in prison and I won't have to deal with terrible afterschool traffic for at least a few months.
Riley, there are so many people that don't know you, but are so super proud of you taking a stand and fighting for all girls and young women! God Bless and keep Strong.
I am floored by this. Everyone needs to hear this story. No wonder Riley did not want her dad taking this on.
What an incredibly well-spoken, brave woman!
This, for me, has to be the best interview I have viewed on any blog/vlog.
And it’s made me sick to my stomach. What a travesty.
Hats off to Riley Gaines, for standing up to this absolutely horrible result. How can the NCAA totally ERASE Title IX, which is a law passed by Congress. I am standing with her 100%.
Riley represents the best of our country. Absolutely love everything she stands for in protecting our girls and women. 👍👍👍
Riley Gaines for President!!! Woops. In 11 years, you will be eligible to run!❤❤❤
Career gymnastics coach! I will buy the book and will watch your career to support you.
Riley Gaines you rock ! 80 year old white guy and former competitive AAU swimming competitor in the 1960’s here. Keep on keepin’ on !
56:58 is my favourite quote from this impressive young lady...
"There is external fear placed on us, but we place a lot of internal fear on ourselves. Once I could overcome that, there has been no looking back for me."
What an amazing, brave woman. brought a tear to my eye to hear her talk about the support her dental school gave her. "Dentist are a dime a dozen" but someone who is willing to put it all out there fighting the great fight for us all, amazing. I'm sad to say, I may not have been a good German, but I am very guilty of being a silent American, which is far worse. Great interview, thank you, Mike Rowe. Thank you, Riley Gaines, you are both national treasures.
I don't know how in the hell they can call this mess "woke". I'm awake...nightmare is still here!
I wont get into the whole history of it, but marxist/pravda/soviet/communist liars have always hijacked words with positive connotations and used them as ideological conditioners.
These creeps today are the same ones who rotted the Russian empire from inside and created the USSR by convincing stupid people ridiculous ideas were true
Maybe while you’re awake, the woke people WERE but are no longer awake, hence the past tense of “woke”
They no longer are awake they are into deluded nightmare territory
I never could understand it either. And progressive? It's more like degressive
BULLSHIT, YOU GIRLS COULD OF ALL WALKED OUT AND AWAY !
BUT THAT WOULD TAKE SOME BALLS
WALK AWAY AND LEAVE THE SPORT
@@rslsmithing The ouroboros is eating its tail. It’s like a supernatural curse.
Ms. Riley, Much respect, and in the words of another great person, “FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!”
She’s gorgeous. I think her intellect, the way she carries herself, her morals and drive for success are what makes her such a beautiful woman. She’s got the looks too obviously. She is 100% an amazing role model for young girls today. Her parents did an amazing job!!!! Great interview.
