More Anti-Americanism Coming From U.S. Olympic Team · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: I have been saying this over and over again that
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: if you hate America, and this is not a statement
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: that should be considered controversial, you should not represent the
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: United States of America and the Olympics. In fact, let
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: me say it a different way. If you hate America,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't even compete in the Olympic Trials. If you
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: hate the country that you're going to represent and that
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: you represent during the Olympic Trials to get to the Olympics,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: then represent that country and you actually hate this country,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: you should not be on the Olympics. That should not
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: be a controversial statement. Let me take it a step further.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: If you do, in fact make an Olympic team and
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: then you decide to take a shot at the United
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: States of America, I would argue any other Olympic athlete
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: in the world that does US in their country should
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: not be on the Olympic team either. You should be
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: kicked off the team. Why am I talking about this?
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Another great example Gwendolen Barring wearing a shirt on her
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: head during the national anthem at the metal ceremony at
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the US Olympic Track and Field Trials in Eugene, Oregon.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Olympian makes a USA team then spits on USA. She's
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: on the team, folks. Anyone out there is still offering
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt to the entire social justice movement.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Is a sick scam. Needs look no further than the
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: pollutant stunt Gwen Berry pulled Saturday at the US Olympic
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Track and Field Trials. There stood Berry, a black woman,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: reaching for the second time the stratsphere of an American
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: athletic achievement, and yet still lecturing about systemic racism. Quote.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I feel like it was a setup and they did
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: it on purpose, she said, of the producers playing her
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: national anthem during the award metal ceremony. That's right, playing
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the national anthem during a team USA event. The shock,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: she said, and I'm quoting. I was pissed, to be honest,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: she added. Barry, who placed third in the hammer throw,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: turned away from the American flag during the song and
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: placed her hand on her hip while making faces. I'm
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: here to represent those who died due to systemic racism,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: she said later. That's the important part. That's why I'm going,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm here today. Actually, she was there because
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: she was given the opportunity to prove her metal and
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: represent her nation, a nation that she clearly deeply hates.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: What's even more ironic about this argument is the fact
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: that she says this is about systemic racism. If systemic
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: racism were actually the problem, then Barry and what she
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: professed it to be, she would very much not be
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: in the Olympic Trials or on the podium. If we
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: have a system of systemic racism. Gwendolin Barry turning away
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: from the American flag. I want you to think about
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: this turning away from the American flag as a national
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: anthem played at the metal ceremony at the US Track
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: and Field Trials, and Eugene Oregon is going to represent
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the United States of America. I want you to think
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: about that. This is always a case when the social
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: justice left, the national media, democrats in Washington, celebrities, including
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: celebrity athletes, they all support this crap. And it's true,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: whether they're wide or black, they can done the US
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: as a sesspool of bigotry and racism, even as their
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: very own careers and lives see incredible fame and fortune.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: New York Times columnists, He's a racist. Charles Blow, who
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: is black, wrote in early June about the racism he's
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: supposedly experienced from white gaze because he's bisexual. This is
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: not a joke. I had to work with his cat scene,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and he is literally one of the most hateful people
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I've ever met towards white people. He absolutely is a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: racist towards white people. And yet for all of the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: oppression Charles Blow claims to have endured, he is apparently
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: doing okay. In fact, he's thriving. I was even asked
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: recently in an interview why I wasn't more gay or
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: something to that effect, because people who followed me would
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: most likely not know that I was part of the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: queer community, he wrote. I reminded my interviewer that I
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: had written a best selling book about my identity, and
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: that the book had been developed into an opera that
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: will become the first opera by a black composer to
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: be stage at New York's Metropole Opera in its history.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Get excited. No, that's not parody. Those sins has actually
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: appeared in print in the country's most influential news publication,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and they were written by a black, non heterosexual man
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: who still wants the world to see him as a victim.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: It's how social justice works. It's advocates and says they
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: are oppressed, always on the count of the race, gender,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: or sexual identity, and then they reap the rewards that
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: come with claiming such fake grievances. Let's go back to
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Gwendolin Barry competing in the women's hammer throw event. Barry
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: will go to Tokyo to represent the United States of America.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: We will pay for her to go to Tokyo. The
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: United States Olympic team will pay for her to go
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: to the Olympics to represent the United States America. She
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: will have a chance to win a gold medal, and
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: if that happens, they'll play the national anthem again and
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Barry will likely disrespect it again. Why are we not
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: kicking her off the team. I don't give a crap
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: that she's black. I don't care if you're white, black,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: or anything else in between. Why the hell would we
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: allow you the honor of representing the United States of
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: America when you were ashamed of the United States of
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: America at the Olympics. Why didn't she compete for another country.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Their plenty of nations that take freelance Olympians for a
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: chance at glory for their country. Happens all the time.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: You can defect because she doesn't want to. She wants
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to take all the opportunities in the United States gives
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: her and pretend like it happens in spite of not
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: because of where she was born. Why Because it's all
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: about her. This is what we've become in this country.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: It's all a con by the way, and Barry is
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: just the latest example of this con. A woman who
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: hates America turns away from the American flag as a
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: national anthem is played and says it basically triggers her.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: She felt like it was a setup and they did
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: it on purpose, she said of the producers playing her
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: national anthem during the awards ceremony in the United States
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: of America, playing the national anthem during a Team USA event,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and she's shocked, she said, quote I was pissed, to
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: be honest her words. So you get on stage, you
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: get a bronze medal, you turn away from the flag,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you throw a Black Lives Matter type shirt on your head,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: and you tell people that you're angry they play the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: national anthem. That was a setup. Yeah, Oh that's not all.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: That's gotten all woke during the Olympics. Do you see
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: what former basketball star Jalen Rose had to say. He's
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: angry he's been smearing the one white NBA player, Kevin
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Love who made the Olympic team. Quote as a token
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: member of the US Olympic basketball team is just another
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: example of why people are canceling out sports. ESPN athlete
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: turned broadcaster decides to be angry that the Olympic team
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: isn't all black. Yeah, isn't all black. He says that
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: they should have put another black man on the team. Yeah,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: he wants to be edgy and militant. Earlier this week,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: USA Basketball announced that Love, a veteran power forward for
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the Cleveland Cavaliers, would be added the twelve man Olympic roster.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Why because they thought it was a good idea to
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: have a guy that was a little bit older on
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: there who could mentor and play some good ball. Love
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: played in twenty five games this season. The average in
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: those twenty five games twelve point two point seven point
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: four rebounds and two point five assists. That is damn good.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: That's really good. So, following the announcement that Kevin Love
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: would join a twelve man roster for the summer Olympics
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: in Tokyo. Jalen Rose on ESPN said the Cavaliers veteran
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: doesn't deserve a spot on team USA quote Kevin Love
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: is on the team because of tokenism. The former NBA star,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: who has the Renaissance Man column and podcast hosts for
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: The Post, the New York Posts as well, said on
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: his Jalen and Jacobi or whatever the hell podcast Thursday,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: don't be scared to make an all black team representing
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the United States of America. I'm disappointed that by that,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Rose said. Rose backed his comments by pointing out Love's
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: lack season in Cleveland, saying, quote, anybody that watched the
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: league this year knows Love Kevin Love did not have
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: his steller season, was not the best player on the team,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and did not necessarily deserve to be on the squad.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: So he says, hey, spy being excited for the Olympics,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I am disappointed that team you say had a token
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: selection of Kevin Love. Now, imagine if somebody would have
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: said that about a minority player. Imagine if there would
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: have been a team with a bunch of white people
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: on it, right, and then they said, oh, they could
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: have just sent an all white team. Why why they
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: put that Mexican on there, that black person on there,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: that Asian on there? Right, can you imagine that backlash?
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, it would have been out of control. Now,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I want you to hear this conversation in its entirety,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and I want you to think about how messed up
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: in the head you have to be. And I'm talking
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: about just pure racist towards white people. After you're angry
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: that one white guy who averaged twelve point two points,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: that average, twelve point two point seven point four rebounds,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and two point five assists per game, playing just twenty
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: five games because he had been dealing with some injuries.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Not a bad not a bad numbers pretty good. Oh no,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: we can't have we can't have a white guy on
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: this team. We should have send all black team. That
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: would have been better. So he's angry at the white guy,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: excited about the roster, and I assume and I know
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: we're gonna win the goal, but I'm disappointed in something.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: As I do this show every day, I do it
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: in front of a picture of Tommy Smith and John
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Carlos raising their fists at the Olympics. I also know
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the favoritism that Christian Latner was shown when he got
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: a chance to be put on the Dream Team ahead
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: of Shot and Alonso. But they made it so that
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: a college player can even get on and get a
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: fam favoritism. But this level of and I got a
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: word for it, Kevin Love is on the team because
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: of tokenism. Don't be scared to make an all black
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: team representing the United States of America. I'm disappointed by that.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Anybody that watched the league this year knows Kevin Love
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: did not have a stellar season, was not the best
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: player on his team. It did not necessarily deserve to
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: be on this squad. And I'm not gonna take him
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: off the squad and not put somebody else on it.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you whose spot that should be. That
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: should be a young man that was born in the Bahamas,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: that as a McDonald's All American, played in high school
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: and college in Phoenix, Arizona. DeAndre Ayton should have Kevin
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Love spot because Kevin loves white and Kevin Love didn't
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: deserve it. At one point its future in Cleveland, where
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: he won a championship. By the way, with Lebron James
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: twenty sixteen was in question the regular season. Will have
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: apparently visibly frustrated with a team and its young core.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: The thirty two year old just finished the second year
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: of a four year, one hundred and twenty million dollar
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: contract extension with the Calves here in the midst of
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: a major rebuild. This is a guy that gave they
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: If you think he sucks, you're not paying attention. He
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: got a four year, one hundred and twenty million dollars contract.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: But we should have just sent an all white team. Yeah,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you whose spot that should have been.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Should have been a All American played in high school,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: in college in Phoenix. Should have had Kevin Love's white spot.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: And I'm disappointing team say for not having the courage
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to send an all black team to the Olympics, because
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: everything's gonna be about racism now. Aton, by the way,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: he turns twenty four in July, has no Olympic experience,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: but has had an incredible season in Phoenix, so therefore
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: he says he should have been on the team. Love,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: on the other hand, has championship and Olympic experience. Just
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: so you know, he helped Team USA win the Golden
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: twenty twelve Summer Olympics in London. Love was not part
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: of the Team USA roster and rio during the two
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: sixteen Olympic Games. All by the way of whom we're
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: black then, so when he says they were trying to
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: make history, they should have not been afraid to send
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: an all black team. We did it in two thousand
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: and sixteen. So he didn't even have his facts rights.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: But you know what, when you're throwing down the race card,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: apparently you don't really need to have your facts. Team
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: USA is not afraid of sending an all black team.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: We literally did it in two thousand and sixteen. The
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: reason why Kevin Love is on this team is because
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: there's a coach of Team USA in an organization that
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: realized it's probably not a bad idea to have a
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: thirty two year old who's won a NBA championship and
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: has been at an Olympic Games and has won a
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: gold medal at those Olympic Games to be on the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: team to maybe shepherd and mentor some of the guys
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: through the Olympics and the Olympic experience. That's why, oh no,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: but we shouldn't be ashamed to send an all black team.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: We already did it twenty sixteen, twenty and sixteen would happened,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: by the way, no one gave a crap because they
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: thought it was the best team. No one was complaining
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: about no white people on the team. Did you see
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: any guys out there yelling about how dare them not
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: send a white guy too? And we shouldn't be afraid
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: of having it, or we should have had a diverse team.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Did you see any of that? Of course not right, No,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: we wouldn't have any that that'd be too easy. That'd
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: be way too easy, way, way, way, way too easy.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: In twenty sixteen, we won the gold medal. I don't
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: remember anyone. I don't remember a single person. I want
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: to make that very very very clear. I don't remember
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: a single human being coming out and saying anything about
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the makeup of the team being all black, because it
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: didn't matter, because you had the good team, and you
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: sent the team and they won a gold medal and
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: everybody was happy. Kevin Love clearly brings experience to this
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: twelve man roster. Clevin Love when he is playing, clearly
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: can put up points. This year, Yes, he was frustrated
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: with his team. It's a rebuilding year. But when he
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: was on the court, he was pretty darn good. But remember,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: we gotta be woke now, folks, we gotta be woke
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: at all costs. It's all about woke. Let me give
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: you the headline. And again, I want to go back
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: to this other story for a second. About this hammer thrower,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Gwen Berry. She turns away from the flag, the American flag,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: while the the national anthem is being played at the
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Olympic Trials for the US Olympic team. She not only
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: makes the team, but she then comes out and is
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: angry they played the national anthem, which they do every
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: single time, and they have an award ceremony. She knows
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: that she's an idiot. Maybe she is, and she said quote,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I felt like it was a setup for the past week.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: It's coming from ESPN. The national anthem has played one
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: time per evening at the Ustlympic Trial Track and Field
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Trials on Saturday. The song happened to start while outspoken
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: activist Quinn Berry was standing on the podium after receiving
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: her bronze medal in the hammer throw. While the music played,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Barry placed her left hand on her hip and fidgeted.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: She took a quarter turn so she was facing the
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: stands not the flag. Toward the end, she plucked up
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: her black T shirt with the words activist athlete on
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: the front and draped it over her head. Quote. I
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: felt like it was a set up and they did
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: it on purpose, Barry, stead of the timing of the anthem,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I was her words, pissed to be honest, Barry's reaction
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: to the star spangled banner was a notable is as
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: notable as anything on the track. On a blazing hot Saturday,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: the second to last day of the years Olympic Trials,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: with temperatures reaching a hundred one degrees on the field
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: the end of Price won the event with a throw
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: of two hundred and sixty three ft six inches, which
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: was nearly seven feet longer than Barry's throw, who came
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: in third. Price broke the meat record on four or
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: six throws, and the last two of those throws also
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: broke the American record. Pretty amazing. So these women who
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: are beating this woman had their moment taken away from
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: them because everyone's talking about the third place chick grabbing
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: that third spot by a scant two inches over Janee
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Cavas void two inches. Berry, headed heading to her second Olympics,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: has promised to use her position took you to keep
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: raising awareness, she says about social injustice in her home country.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: She's ashamed of America. She hates it. Quote. My purpose
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: and my mission is bigger than sports. I'm here to
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: represent those who die due to systemic racism. That's the
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: important part. That's why I'm going. That's why I'm here today.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Barry found it to be no matter of coincident that
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: she was front and center during the anthem. Unlike the Olympics,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: anthems aren't played to a company metal ceremonies at the Trials,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: but the hammer throwers received their awards just before the
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: start of the evening session, which has been kicking off
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: all week with a videotapeer rendition of the Star Spangled banner.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: The US Track and Field spokesperson spokeswoman Susan Hazzard said
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: the national anthem was getting to play at five to
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: twenty pm today. We didn't wait until the athletes were
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: on the podium for the hammer throw awards, and nason
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: anthem is played every day, according to a previously published
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: schedule on Saturday of The music started at five twenty five,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: and so while Pryce Sayerson stood on the podium with
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: her hands over their hearts and stared straight ahead at
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: the American Oregon flags, Barry fidgeted and paste on the
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: third step. Then she turned away and finally grabbed her
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: T shirt. They said they were going to play it
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: before we walked out, then they played it when we
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: were out there. Barry said, but I don't really want
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: to talk about the anthem, because that's something important. The
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: anthem didn't speak for me, it never has. This woman
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: literally hates the United States of America. She hates our
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: national anthem, she hates our flags, she hates our country.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Why the hell are we sending her to represent the
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: United States of America. If you don't have pride in America,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't be in the Olympics. Tell me I'm wrong.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Her gestures drew virtually no reaction from this still standing,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: still filling stands, and they were something far less than
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: two summers ago, when Barry raised her fists on the
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: podium after winning the Panama Games. That demonstration led to
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: a sanction, but ultimately pushed the US Olympic and Paralympic
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Committee to commit to not punishing athletes who raise fists
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: or kneel at the trials or in Tokyo. It's a
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: potential flashpoint for Tokyo, where the IOC has said it
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: will enforce its Rule fifty that bands demonstrations inside the lines.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: It's the same prohibition that got sprinter Tommy Smith and
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: John Carlos sent home from the Mexico City Games in
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: nineteen sixty eight. Price, who became only the second woman
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: in history to crack eighty meters and figures, would be
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: going for gold along with the world wrecker Holders had
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: no problem sharing the stage with Barry. I think people
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: should say whatever they want to say. I'm proud of her,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Price said Barry said she needs to get my body right,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: my mind right, and my spirit right for the Olympics.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: The women's hammer thrower starts August the first, but Barry
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: doesn't think she needs to be on a podium and
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Tookyo to have the biggest impact, saying, quote, I don't
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: need to do anything sports wise. What I need to
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: do is speak for my community, to represent my community
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: and help my community, because that's more important than sports.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: That's fine than quit sports, go be an activist. But
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: if you hate America and you want to criticize America
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: and we're the ones paying for you to go represent US,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's a bad investment. I would argue that
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: she should absolutely be kicked off the team. If you
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: don't stand for the national anthem, then get off the
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: stage and get off my team, and take USA off
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: your uniform. If you're not proud of America, I think
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: that should automatically just qualify you from being in the
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Olympic Games. Send somebody who is proud of the United
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: States America. I would rather send someone that is actually
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: running or throwing or competing for America that comes in
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: fiftieth place, then have someone win a medal who hates America.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: As long as you give it, you're all. That's all
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I can ask for. And if you go and you
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: represent the United States of America, it should not be
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: controversial if you turn your back on someone to say
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: we're done, you can go home. We are not going
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: to pay for you to go and represent the United
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: States of America. That we will not do. But this
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: is the Olympics. Now, we're ashamed of the white guy
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: who we say, as a token who absolutely deserves to
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: be on the Olympic team. The woke people are angry
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: that we didn't send it all black team. Right, all
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: black team. We did it by the way before. But
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: they'll lie to you and say, oh, we've never sent
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: an all black team. No, we have. We have sent
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: an all black team to the Olympics. You send a
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: guy that has a lot of experience and people say, oh,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: you can't do that. Now, you should send it all
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: act team. Because that's what real woke ism is. That's
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: what really being woke is.
