You know, we love to talk about the WNBA, right? You know, every once in a while the WNBA does some stories they almost have to talk about. By the way, Caitlin Clark scored 45 points in tennis a few days ago. She had five three-pointers in a game yesterday in the first half. But this is about Sophie Cunningham. And this girl Sophie, there's something very special about her. I want to show you three clips back to back to back. Sophie was being asked about transgender in women's sports. And she says, look, I just don't think we need to have men competing in women's sports. And then they came back in the article and they said, hey, it seems like you have a lot of hate for transgender. So eventually she's like, let me just do an interview and answer the questions here. And she did. And she broke it down on what she had to say about men in women's sports. This is very common sense. Then the next clip, I texted these clips to you, by the way. So you just go to the clips, you and Connor, you'll see that I sent it to you. Should be easy to find. And the next clip I want to play for you is Megan Rapinoe on what she said on The View. So these are three clips. And last but not least, a young girl breaking down saying, what are you talking about?
What are we talking about here with these clips? So Humberto, if you got them, let's go to them. Do you have it ready?
If you want to go to, I literally texted all of them to you this morning and checked with you that you got them. Okay, go to that one right there, top one right there. There you go. Let's play this. Watch this, folks.
So this is again, Sophie Cunningham being asked about her hate for transgenders. Look how she responds.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:56)
The SPN, you talked about wanting to protect young girls who shouldn't have to go against biological men. Just can you expand your viewpoint on that?

**Sophie Cunningham** (2:02)
I mean, I think I said what I said. I think it's kind of common sense.
And I think I'll always believe in that. I think it's really important to protect children. And that's little girls who are also involved in that category. And so, I stand on what I said, and I'll always believe that.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:19)
Do you see your advocacy on that, like taking any form going forward?

**Sophie Cunningham** (2:23)
You know, I don't know. I didn't. I'm not a very political person, but I do have beliefs. I have morals, and I'll always stand on those and be true to who I am. And I think people are going to take it how they want to take it, but I've never even really said anything about that. And so, when it comes just to protecting young girls in sport and women in sport, I feel very strongly about that. I think that's why you have Title IX. That's why you have some of the greats in women's sports. If Title IX and women's sports weren't protected, then you wouldn't hear about any type of women in sport. And so, I think in the future, it's just really important to protect.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:58)
Do you think, I guess, along the line, like that it goes against perhaps... Some people might say, hey, for the trans community, this could be something that could come back on us or be targeted against us. Like, how do you, I guess, view that sort of critique?

**Sophie Cunningham** (3:10)
What a question. Like I said, I extend love, and I don't dislike anyone. Like, I think there is room for absolutely everyone here, and I think there's room to love everyone. And I truly think when you get people in the same room, you have conversations, you actually have a lot in common with a lot of people. And so...

**Patrick Bet-David** (3:26)
So you can pause it right there. What does that sound like? To me, a lot of common sense. Fairness, and you know she has her arms crossed because she knows it's coming. Like, hey, I know you're trying to get me, and I know what you're trying to do. Now go to the next clip. Now this is Megan Rapinoe, okay?
