Chapter 1: What warning did Trump give to Governor Newsom?

188.252 - 208.815 Megyn Kelly

CIF Southern Section, in an obvious effort to appease angry parents, on Tuesday, just hours after Trump's post, announced a new pilot entry process allowing, quote, biologically female student athletes to compete in the upcoming state track and field championship, that missed out on qualifying initially because of a trans athlete.

209.435 - 223.243 Megyn Kelly

So these girls will have yet another chance to compete against this biological boy, which doesn't exactly solve their problem. As of now, Hernandez is still allowed to participate. Here's what he said earlier this year about the state championships.

223.824 - 239.674 Reese Hogan

I just keep telling myself, you are number one, and it's yours to lose. It's just to keep my phases longer. Push more, work out more, get further, hopefully hit a 41 this year if it's possible, preferably at state so that I can possibly win.

240.214 - 255.548 Megyn Kelly

Hernandez has lost some events this season but has mostly dominated, winning one triple jump event by eight feet in February. Hernandez's wins at these events a major source of contention in the community. One furious mother confronting A.B. 's mother at a March event.

256.021 - 274.531 Angry Mother

I have a right to speak truth. Boys and boys, girls are girls. This guy did not belong competing against those girls, period. What a coward of a woman you are allowing that. Telling girls to go and compete against a boy? How embarrassing. Mother, mother, stand up like a mother. I am a mother. I'm protecting girls.

275.091 - 283.069 Megyn Kelly

Some parents and spectators erupting with vocal support for the female athletes at different meets throughout the season. making their stance clear from the sidelines.

283.629 - 304.85 Megyn Kelly

After a May 17th meet, Reese Hogan, who officially finished second in the triple jump behind Hernandez, a result that was repeated last weekend, stood for just a moment atop the first-place podium after the medal ceremony was over, receiving thunderous applause from the crowd in a show of solidarity. Hogan set a new personal record and school record with her jump.

305.331 - 312.082 Megyn Kelly

Kate McGinnis, the second-place finisher in the long jump, also at the May 17th meet, speaking out on Fox News after her loss.

312.737 - 337.771 Kate McGinnis

I have nothing against this athlete as a person. I have nothing against the trans community. I watched AB do their jump and the numbers on the screen lit up to 19 feet 2 inches which was the furthest mark of that day. Normally something typical that long jump athletes will do is they start a clapping sequence kind of to gain momentum from the crowd and kind of feel the rhythm of the the jump.

Chapter 2: How did the Trump administration change COVID vaccine recommendations?

Chapter 3: What are the key issues in the Diddy trial?

Chapter 4: Why are parents protesting in California sports?

126.053 - 138.795 Megyn Kelly

The president posting on Truth Social, quote, This week, a transitioned male athlete at a major event won everything and is now qualified to compete in the state finals next weekend. This is not fair and totally demeaning to women and girls.

0

139.335 - 164.111 Megyn Kelly

Please be hereby advised that large-scale federal funding will be held back, maybe permanently, if the executive order on this subject matter is not adhered to. The president adding an order to local authorities, who that is remains unclear, to, if necessary... not allow the transitioned person to compete in the state finals, which again are this weekend. The male athlete in question, A.B.

Hernandez from Harupa Valley outside of Los Angeles. Hernandez placed first in the women's triple jump and long jump at the California Interscholastic Federation or CIF Southern Section Masters this past weekend.

Chapter 5: What was Kamala Harris' recent speech about?

618.784 - 640.555 Megyn Kelly

And they handle their animals humanely and with respect. But most important is the quality of the beef. You'll find it as tender and flavorful as the finest restaurants. And that's because they have spent the last 35 years selecting cattle for tenderness and flavor, aging their beef to perfection for 21 days. The result is some of the most tender and flavorful beef you have ever tasted.

641.175 - 663.835 Megyn Kelly

Clark claiming she was kidnapped by Combs, furious after finding out star witness Cassie Ventura was in a relationship with musician Kid Cudi.

723.085 - 742.019 Megyn Kelly

Clark telling the jury that Combs brandishing a gun showed up at her home and directed her to, quote, get dressed, we're going to kill that N-word, saying they drove to Kid Cudi's house where Combs entered, but Kid Cudi was not there. The testimony dovetailing what Kid Cudi told jurors last week, that there was a break-in at his home and he suspected Combs.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of withholding federal funds?

742.679 - 762.327 Megyn Kelly

On cross-examination, the defense suggesting Clark's horrific memory of Combs don't exactly line up with her more recent emails to him. Pointing to a 2014 email from Clark to Combs, after Combs fired her in 2012 that reads, quote, Hopefully you'll forgive me soon. It's been long enough. I feel like you've forgiven everyone else but me.

763.088 - 779.758 Megyn Kelly

Clark testifying earlier in the day that she was officially fired for a vacation she took, but saying she believes the real reason was because Combs was upset that she knew about Ventura's relationship with Kid Cudi and did not tell Combs.

794.88 - 816.387 Megyn Kelly

The defense also calling up a 2021 text message in which Clark writes to Combs, quote, Did you ever know that I had the biggest crush on you before I started working for you? On redirect, Clark telling prosecutors she ultimately returned to work for Bad Boy Records because she could not find work elsewhere, saying through sobs, quote, he held all the power as it related to me.

817.188 - 838.456 Megyn Kelly

If convicted, Combs faces up to life in prison. Former Vice President Kamala Harris resurfacing on Sunday, this time in the land down under. Ms. Harris appearing at the Australian Real Estate Conference, where tickets reportedly went for $999 to $1,695 a piece. It's unclear exactly why Ms.

838.476 - 853.764 Megyn Kelly

Harris was invited to participate in a Q&A session at the two-day event, but video surfacing on X shows the former veep in her familiar free-flowing form. In this clip here, Ms. Harris answers a question about the importance of humility.

853.784 - 876.862 Kamala Harris

You have the ability to understand the context in which you live, the context in which others live. You're more likely to then connect with them and understand what's important to them. This is the thing that I've also known about life, and I'm sure everyone here understands. The vast majority of human beings are very intelligent, regardless of their education level.

877.881 - 906.304 Kamala Harris

regardless of where they're from, and intelligent enough to know whether when you are looking at them, you are looking at them with a level of respect. They will know that you are someone who is actually interested in their life and their reality and their fears and their dreams, or not. It requires you to be self-aware enough to understand that you may not understand their life.

908.004 - 911.085 Kamala Harris

and then do some work to figure out how you can understand it better.
