• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We got a question for American mama's. Dear mamas, would
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: you forgive Simone Biles if she publicly body shamed you?
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mamas.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Injoining us now, our American mama Terry Needeville. First of all,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I think this question is preposterous. Preposterous. There is absolutely
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: no way anyone could body shame you, our American.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Beautiful Yeah, okay, all right, so Simone Biles, uh, well,
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: you know she body shamed Riley Gaines, and that doesn't
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: make any sense either, because Riley Gaines beautiful lady, certainly
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: in fit, you know, uh, you know, basically an enviable physique.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I think that's fair to say. And Simone Biles was saying,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: oh to manually. Now, Simone Biles did come out and apologize,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and Riley Gaines did say she would accept the apology.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Would you be as generous as Riley Gaines?
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I would anytime anyone has felt like
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: they needed to apologize for something. I'm pretty easy with
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: my forgiveness, you know, extend grace?
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Is that easy for you?
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: It is very much. But you know what was so
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: interesting about this particular thing is, look, Simone has been
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: a champion of body positivity.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, because people of body shamed her for being in
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the past.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Yes, So that was what was kind of confusing. It
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: was confusing for her to come out kind of politically anyway,
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: she's kind of one of those that kind of stays
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: in the shadows.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: She is a hero to so many young women.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe the best gymnasts of all time in the history
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: of the planet.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, she's been put on a pedestal, including Riley Gaines.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: Riley said that when she first saw that Simone Biles
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: had mentioned her in a tweet, she got excited. You know,
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: here she is. She looks up to Simone, she always has,
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: and she said that she was kind of stunned. She
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: had to go back and make sure it was actually Simons.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Not a fake account, because those exist exactly.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: And when she discovered that it was, she was so
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: perplexed because she had followed the path. You know, Simone Biles.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: If you remember, she was one of those that was
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: abused by Larry Nasser, the doctor, the doctor for those gymnasts,
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: and she sat in Congress and she talked about the
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: devastation to have a man not only look at you,
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: but then to touch you being in the same vicinity.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Somebody that was actually put over you in a position
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: to entirely ruin your career because he could have gone medically. Oh,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: she can't be a gymnast anymore. And what was USA
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Gymnasti's going to do about that?
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: He really had power and control over her as he
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: was abusing her and other members of the United States
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Gymnastics stef and she was a hero for speaking out
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: against that kind of abuse.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Yes, So then you take that fast forward it a
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: few years and now it's Roleigh Gaines who was in
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: front of Congress and she's talking about six foot for
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Leah William Thomas, who she tied with, and they made
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: sure to make you know the picture. He was holding
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: the trophy and the picture. But she was in congressating,
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: you don't understand when you're in the room where we
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: all shower and get ready to swim, you are naked,
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: you get take your suits off, and she said, you're
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: in the shower and you have the six four male
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: who takes off his swimsuit fully intact, and he's looking
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: at you. You feel just as I don't want to say,
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: sexually assaulted.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: In a way anybody else does that. Yeah, if I
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: had done that, if I had walked into that women's
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: dressing room downshed with indecent exposure, yes, absolutely so.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: So I think now that Simone Biles understands because she
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: was like, you know, really championing for the trans community
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: once Riley, once she had gathered the information and understood, hey,
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: if we allow the transgender men, because it's only going
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: one way.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: As you all know, Yeah, you don't see a whole
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: bunch of supposed transgender women playing in the NFL and
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: beating Peyton Manning's records, right.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: And that won't happen because there is such a difference
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: between men and women in our bodies and our site,
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: in our biology. So she was saying, you know, I mean,
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: as she discovered this and you understand, okay, well, you know,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: take up for the trans. Raleigh Gaines actually said in
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: the beginning she was for all for trans us too.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: We've said this before. We were all for trans having
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: their own lane, remember that running or swimming. They did
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: this in Europe somewhere, and raleygh Gaines said that nobody
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: showed up for that. In fact, Leah Thomas sued the
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: organization for even presenting that because he wants to. He's
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: a trans man who feels like a woman and should
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: be able to, you know, race against women. What we're
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: going to do is wipe away women's sports, right, completely
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: wipe if we allow.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: At Los Angeles in California and the track races, high
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: school track championships, there's a guy that won two of
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the women's state events. A Josh, what are the odds
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: that you have such a small percentage of the population
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: that's trans and yet such a large percentage of the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: population that are trans people winning women's medals.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Well, this is what this is how it all started.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: It was about that team in Minnesota. It had the
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: male pitcher who threw you know, thirty five innings and
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: the girls and the other teams could only I think
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: they scored maybe two. So Riley was making that point. So,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: you know, simone, she stepped out of line, and I'm
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: hoping that she educates herself and then gets on board
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: and becomes a hero, a true champion for women.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Well, and I'm glad she apologized me too. I think
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: that's good and no one should be body shaming either
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: one of them. They're both in amazing shape.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, I feel like desker.
• 5:46
