Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Welcome to Check with Chip, brought to you by Operation
- 0:03Speaker 1: Blue Dot Red, turning the Blue Dot Red one podcast
- 0:06Speaker 1: at a time. I imagine she did not intend it,
- 0:10Speaker 1: but I think Sophie Cunningham is becoming the right's answer
- 0:14Speaker 1: to Alexandria Ocasio Cortes aoc. Cunningham is the w NBA
- 0:20Speaker 1: player who committed a venal sin and then a mortal sin.
- 0:24Speaker 1: According to the moral code of the Left. The venial
- 0:28Speaker 1: or little sin was to stick up for teammate Caitlin Clark,
- 0:33Speaker 1: by far, the best player in the w NBA, who
- 0:37Speaker 1: gets pummeled in games, not just fouled, but body slammed,
- 0:42Speaker 1: punched in the throat, elbowed in the face because she
- 0:45Speaker 1: is white and heterosexual in a league that is majority
- 0:49Speaker 1: black with a significant homosexual population. The mortal or big
- 0:54Speaker 1: sin was to say that female sports are for people
- 0:59Speaker 1: with female That should not be an issue in a
- 1:03Speaker 1: league created four females to provide them a fair field
- 1:07Speaker 1: of competition. But the WNBA is revealing itself to be
- 1:12Speaker 1: a fierce advocate for the rainbow open season anything goes
- 1:16Speaker 1: sexual agenda, So now Cunningham is getting the Caitlin Clark
- 1:21Speaker 1: thugball treatment in games, and is being bleached out of
- 1:25Speaker 1: promotional posters and social media, but she goes right on
- 1:31Speaker 1: being who she is. She comes from hardy, middle class
- 1:35Speaker 1: midwestern Missouri stock and is firm in her convictions, but
- 1:39Speaker 1: also has a care free and fun loving side. I
- 1:43Speaker 1: mentioned in a previous podcast a video of Cunningham approaching
- 1:47Speaker 1: a starstruck young girl and offering a shoe she had
- 1:51Speaker 1: worn in the game. The girl was ecstatic. Cunningham spun
- 1:56Speaker 1: her around to face her mother with a camera and
- 1:59Speaker 1: lean over the girl from behind. Anne threw both arms
- 2:03Speaker 1: around her in a big hug and smile. Cunningham seems
- 2:07Speaker 1: to realize that she is a hero to young girls
- 2:10Speaker 1: and it has humbled her rather than made her arrogant.
- 2:14Speaker 1: She's being blackballed, boycotted, and shunned by the official WNBA apparatus,
- 2:20Speaker 1: but she doesn't seem to care. She just turned thirty,
- 2:23Speaker 1: but said she's not married or in a serious relationship
- 2:27Speaker 1: because of her busy schedule and because nobody asks her out.
- 2:31Speaker 1: I find that hard to believe. There's a video of
- 2:34Speaker 1: her standing on a table in what appears to be
- 2:37Speaker 1: a crowded bar and singing Toby Keith's Courtesy of the Red,
- 2:42Speaker 1: White and Blue, a super patriotic song. What I really
- 2:46Speaker 1: love I suppose because I see myself in it is
- 2:50Speaker 1: a video of Sophie's spa in which Cunningham applies her
- 2:55Speaker 1: skincare regimen to her sixty nine year old father. I
- 3:00Speaker 1: find him in any Missouri football rosters, but the media
- 3:03Speaker 1: says her father played football at Missouri in the nineteen seventies.
- 3:07Speaker 1: As a typical big red football fan. MY first thought was,
- 3:11Speaker 1: was he on that nineteen seventy eighteen that ruined our season?
- 3:16Speaker 1: I didn't see him there, but anyway, he certainly looks
- 3:19Speaker 1: the part of a former football player enduring his daughter's
- 3:24Speaker 1: beauty process. Fellow baby boomers think of Ed Asner's Lou
- 3:29Speaker 1: Grant character enduring a skin care session from Mary Tyler
- 3:34Speaker 1: Moore's Mary Richards character. Jim Cunningham is balding, heavy set,
- 3:40Speaker 1: and wearing a shirt that says outnumbered by girls. He
- 3:45Speaker 1: has a wife and another daughter in addition to Sophie.
- 3:48Speaker 1: He seems resigned to his fate. Sophie applies various creams
- 3:53Speaker 1: and sprays to his head and face. At one point,
- 3:56Speaker 1: she asks him how he feels, he replies in a
- 3:59Speaker 1: day pan monotone, I feel refreshed. I like this guy.
- 4:06Speaker 1: You really should find it. It's less than a minute,
- 4:08Speaker 1: but it's so real, so authentic, so endearing. Clearly this
- 4:13Speaker 1: daughter loves her father and in his way, he loves her.
- 4:17Speaker 1: Otherwise he wouldn't subject himself to the spa routine video.
- 4:22Speaker 1: I think this is great. I hope Cunningham shares more
- 4:26Speaker 1: of herself, just being herself, because it shows people that
- 4:30Speaker 1: she is not a hateful monster. She has said she
- 4:34Speaker 1: loves trans people and wishes them well, but she will
- 4:37Speaker 1: not budge from her belief that female sports should be
- 4:41Speaker 1: for people with female DNA. That's completely reasonable. I said
- 4:47Speaker 1: she's the right's answer to AOC because for years I
- 4:51Speaker 1: thought AOC had a similar impact on people. She has
- 4:56Speaker 1: an engaging personality. I teased my thirty seven year old
- 4:59Speaker 1: son recently, Hey, AOC dumped her fiance. Now's your chance.
- 5:05Speaker 1: The more she talks, the more apparent it is that
- 5:08Speaker 1: she is not very informed on a variety of issues,
- 5:14Speaker 1: but in her way, she's an all American girl, just
- 5:17Speaker 1: like in her way, Sophie Cunningham is an all American girl,
- 5:21Speaker 1: and people like it. A few years ago, Republicans unearthed
- 5:25Speaker 1: video of AOC dancing at a rooftop party and presented it,
- 5:30Speaker 1: I guess, thinking it would make her look silly. A
- 5:34Speaker 1: young woman smiling and dancing at a rooftop party is
- 5:38Speaker 1: adorable and very American. What should she be doing throwing
- 5:43Speaker 1: a molotov cocktail or protest delivering a speech at the
- 5:47Speaker 1: Heritage Foundation. It backfired because people love seeing a young
- 5:52Speaker 1: American woman being happy and positive. Republicans have to be
- 5:57Speaker 1: very careful in their approach to AOC. She deserves to
- 6:01Speaker 1: be challenged on various policies, but Republicans had better have
- 6:05Speaker 1: the facts down cold, because people like AOC and will
- 6:10Speaker 1: not react well if they think she is being hit
- 6:13Speaker 1: with cheap shots, just as people don't like seeing Sophie
- 6:16Speaker 1: Cunningham hit with verbal or physical cheap shots. As for
- 6:21Speaker 1: turning the blue dot red, I hope Cunningham remains a
- 6:25Speaker 1: sensation throughout the election cycle because I think she may
- 6:30Speaker 1: be doing more than any of us political talkers to
- 6:33Speaker 1: turn blue dots red. That's check with Chip. I'm Chip Maxwell.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Thank you for listening,
