00:00 Activists and female athletes, including Riley Gaines, are cursed at.
00:04 They are spat upon and attacked by far-left protesters as they attend a ceremonial signing
00:10 of Governor Abbott's Save Women's Sports Act down in Texas.
00:14 This happened last night.
00:15 Listen.
00:16 Life matters!
00:17 Life matters!
00:18 Let them play!
00:19 Let them play!
00:20 Independent Women's Network chapter leader Michelle Evans was attacked by the protesters
00:29 and she joins us now along with NCAA athlete Macy Petty who attended the event as well.
00:34 Good morning, ladies.
00:35 Good morning.
00:36 Thanks for having us.
00:37 Good morning.
00:38 Well, thanks for coming on.
00:39 Michelle, tell us what happened to you.
00:42 As I was walking down the pathway to kind of see how deep the protesters went, I filmed,
00:49 they yelled at me, screamed profanities at me, and then as I was walking to reenter the
00:54 building, they stood in my way, pushed me, hit me, threw water on me, and then one protester
01:01 spit into my left eye.
01:03 My goodness.
01:04 Is it worth it?
01:07 It's always worth it to fight these battles.
01:09 You have to go deep in the trenches if you're going to get anywhere in this war, and I'm
01:14 ready for it.
01:15 Okay.
01:16 Macy, what was your experience?
01:19 I was there on behalf of Concerned Women for America speaking for current NCAA athletes,
01:24 so I was with Paula and Riley, and we were kept inside.
01:28 We were told that it wasn't safe outside because they were completely unhinged, to be honest,
01:33 as we could see, as they were spitting on people.
01:35 They were calling us sexist, which frankly doesn't make sense because we're the only
01:39 ones who acknowledge that sex even exists.
01:41 They call us racist, which didn't make sense, completely unrelated, and they were calling
01:46 fifth graders and third graders transphobes.
01:50 It was absolutely ridiculous.
01:52 Well, Macy, I know you're a volleyball player.
01:55 You were at Lee University.
01:57 Are you currently at Lee?
01:58 I am, yes.
01:59 Okay, you're currently there.
02:00 I am still currently there.
02:01 This doesn't mean you're against the trans community.
02:03 This just means you want women's sports to be fair, right?
02:06 We were there to speak on one issue, and that was fairness for women in sports.
02:11 We believe that sports are separated based on sex for a reason, and that reason is biological
02:16 truth, and to deny sex-based protections is going to eliminate the female category altogether
02:23 because men are just better equipped for certain sports because they're taller, faster, stronger,
02:30 and so on.
02:31 Michelle, where do you stand on this, and what's your reaction to signs?
02:34 Like I saw one sign a lady was holding.
02:35 It said, "Greg Abbott hates women."
02:39 I think that that's such a baseless claim.
02:41 I think that he was celebrating women and women's achievement, fairness in sports, privacy
02:47 in our spaces.
02:48 There's a reason that we have sex-based protections.
02:51 We are equal, but we are not the same, men and women.
02:55 They claim that we are trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist, yet they get so fervent
03:01 in their arguments and screaming to let them play.
03:05 Well, you can't have it both ways.
03:08 Trans kids, trans athletes are allowed to play.
03:11 It's just they have to play on the team designated for their birth sex.
03:16 It's about fairness.
03:17 It's about privacy.
03:18 It's about dignity.
