Mike Rowe: Riley Gaines HATES Losing More Than She Loves Winning | The Way I Heard It

The 12-time NCAA All-American, 5-time SEC Champion, and 2-time Olympic qualifier who went from being one of the fastest collegiate swimmers in the world to a controversial women's rights advocate talks about what it takes to train in a pool six hours per day, why she’s not going to be training to be an endodontist, and recounts the harrowing experience of being held captive on the campus of San Francisco State University. Her new book is Swimming Against the Current: Fighting For Common Sense in a World That’s Lost Its Mind.

One of the most terrifying points about Riley's experience is that she had to attend a "reprogramming" therapy session. That ALONE is unbelievable. Thank you Mike Rowe and Riley Gaines for keeping this in the public eye!!!

The fact the .highest level of women's sports is subjected to such s disgraceful show of college sports leadership cowards, that bowed to this is outrageous. There's a national gym that has sided with something just like this. They allowed men in the ladies locker room, and these men choosing to go into the ladies locker room, and they went to jail for being there. The college championship records should be stricken, and the women who placed in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th places should be moved up to the placed they really finished the races at. The officials responsible for this tragic situation should be removed from the positions they have, and replaced by someone who understands what's logical in situations like this. The fact that these women were threatened that if they spoke out about this, would be smothered under the powers of the boards thumb. That's animals reason they should be removed from their positions. Even have criminal charges filed against them all for all the wrongs they've done to these women. Totally against what they've done, and the full power of the law should fall upon them, and they should serve time at the roughest prisons for their cowardly way. Nothing against the one's who believes that they are the opposite sex than they were born to. It's sad that they have to deal with this, but when they force her as a hostage in San Francisco college auditorium threatening her is again wrong and they all should be taken to court with full charges brought against them for kidnapping her. That is a federal crime, and falls under the FBI's authority, and not in the local police departments authority. There again the chief of police in both cities should be removed from their positions and charges filed against them as well.

I am glad for people like Riley especially young people I have been on the end of political correct punishment in ny job in the 90"s they say those things have now changed.since I left in 96 I really don't know.I spoke out about 2 separate issues in one of their "brain washing" sessions the only other person to do so was a legal immigrant who agreed with me.SINCE she was I don't think they tried the same tactics on her.I saw some of the older people nodding in agreement but kept their mouths shut some of the younger ones were perplexed like both issues were concepts they never heard before😢

I'm not a competitive swimmer but l became an athlete in a different sport from the age of 7. I dedicated a lot of time trainining to the point where l got to rep trials, which is a step up from club where you represented the region where all other clubs you played against would vai for positions in a team that represent city/province. I understand how important training is. I was a football player, and l know exactly how much training and dedication goes into swim sports. Those hours are phenomenal compared to the hours l dedicated to what l always thought was a lot training for football. I'm 65 now, and l take my hat off to you, Riley, and l feel heartbreak for the athletes that were clearly unfairly and ruthlessly targeted by the NCAA and the LGBT and related community supporters. The degree of what l can only describe as emotional blackmail is absolutely and unequivocally abhorrent. God Bless you Riley Gaines.

Thank you so much for this interview! Riley Gaines you're a rock star and truly inspiring. Mike Rowe I've been a fan for many years. I'm being treated unfairly at my work for purely political reasons and what you've taught me in this interview is to stand up for what I believe in but more importantly, for what is morally fair and right. Even if you have to fight the very laws that are supposed to protect you. I was just going to let this slide and do nothing about it and lose interest, but I love what I do. And I've been working for them for 21 years. Unfortunately, due to changing laws and a managerial "politically correct" shift, things have changed for the worst. Guys like me are being exploited to bring in more of their freeloading buddies. Well thanks to the two or you, I'm going to stand up for my constitutional right and fight this unfairness because it's the right thing to do. Why? Because we love winning, but not as much as we hate losing! :)

What is considered “common sense “ ? The ability to accept the fact that you can differentiate right from wrong. Not very hard if you’re a normal person. The problem lies in the fact that you can be persuaded by manipulation. Which is sad but true. Single parent households are always hit and miss with common sense values and ideologies.

Mike... I read somewhere that Riley was ranked 11th in the world among non-pros. Just to give you a perspective how a badass she is... word...

[@ramonaalansari]

This made me cry my eyes out. You poor girl😢

[@michaelawe3681]

Riley, being a former state ranked high school swimmer and a former high school coach, I commend you on your stance and resolve. I appreciate your efforts. You are such a beautiful woman inside and out.

[@tmorgan7939]

What a well spoken intelligent humorous committed woman. She is a gift that I hope can withstand the morons out there and have a long happy life.

[@micahtee6541]

It's crazy that no one would stand up for her. Riley is a person who is truly brave and a born leader.

[@teach5o]

If anyone thinks this interview seems too long to listen to, think again. This young lady is extremely intelligent, insightful, and a warrior for women in a ridiculously twisted time.

[@Benjamin-rm2nt]

I am so happy that Riley Gains is as crazy about the McChicken & the McDouble as I am! Her Husband is one lucky man! 😌

[@PLA5207]

Riley is an incredible woman, and only 24 years old. OH MY!

[@johnokamoto6762]

Well, spoken, brave, funny in a great dry sarcastic way. Can you imagine a better representative for women's sports?!?❤

[@OMG_No_Way]

…and extremely good looking. Total package.

[@maryfiato6633]

I’m so thankful she spoke out and is now leading the way back to sanity on this issue. She’s a winner in my eyes in what matters most, sharing the truth!

BULLSHIT, YOU GIRLS COULD OF ALL WALKED OUT AND AWAY ! BUT THAT WOULD TAKE SOME BALLS WALK AWAY AND LEAVE THE SPORT

[@alfredortego225]

@@OMG_No_Way models and influencers that look like healthy all American girls are out. Riley brings it back into fashion

[@GrandDungeonDad]

People in this country need to stand up and protect all our children from this madness.

Naaaah not just USA BUT WHOLE 🌏 Riley needs to be awarded ' Noble Prize ' 💣💥as JPK calls it🤯 On 2nd thoughts BOTH ' Noble & NOBEL PRIZE ' !! Riley truly deserves BOTH awards🤛

[@jhendricks203]

WE pay via the teachers union to make this normal...

[@julianneavery6995]

so how do you protect them. Answer guidance. values their is much more to it. So what do you mean by protect them. clarity. Life is about balance. So on this issue Their is no balance. Thank you Riley. For speaking out.

[@GrandDungeonDad]

The way you protect them is by being courageous and speaking truth when its needed. To many of us both men and women stay silent when we should not be.

[@felicitysummers9140]

I’m an Aussie and I had heard of what was happening with you Riley and the utter disbelief of these men deciding to say they are women! That the controlling body has disgustingly blithely allowed men to enter the change room, that poor young girls are being subjected to men competing against them and entering the change room. Riley I Praise the Lord for your stand, God has given you the words and the guts to stand up against this immoral situation that we are facing. I used to be a field hockey goalie not kitted up like nowadays, I played cricket and also I would have given up having to play against men masquerading as women. God bless you and protect you. 🙏s

money talks and people will follow the money

[@natoshisakamotorcade]

Wokeism enabling such injustice commin to ALL western so-called democracies @ speed now . 🌏 BEWARE !!

[@christinaky2564]

The mistake you make Riley is assuming that 6.4 ft man is capable of any degree of shame or embarrassment, having tied with you. The same man who gets his kit off in a changing room full of appalled women, strides across the pool deck in a woman’s swimsuit, tackle on full display. Happy to cheat his way to the finish, stand proud on the podium, accept the trophy with his man sized hands and smile for the cameras. This person is incapable of shame and embarrassment! Keep fighting, you’re an inspiration and we will stand with you to protect the next generation of girls!

[@duncanidaho2097]

It’s clear that Lee Thomas, along with many girly men, suffers from autogynephilia.

[@TexasGurlAlwaysAndForever]

Your comment is "dead on." My vision of the future is Will deciding to de-transition since the benefits have been decreased. He will be happy to expound on how he was brainwashed. He might give a lame apology but more likely he will project himself as the victim. We are already seeing those who are de-transitioning so the pathway is already created and he will avail himself of it. Welcome to the Twilight Zone.

[@karin2397]

Exactly. If that man had an ounce of womanhood in him he would have steped aside and congratulated her.

[@uppitywoman3647]

If that "man/woman/child" thing had an ounce of decency, it would never have competed against women in the first place.
