So back in 2022, author Malcolm Gladwell hosted a panel supporting trans athletes in sports. But now he's admitting he was actually. afraid to speak his mind. I wonder, is he ashamed of his performance at that panel? I'm ashamed of my performance at that panel because I share your position 100% and I was count. The idea of saying anything on this issue, what the trends movement is not asking for they're not asking for, you know, a place at the table. They're not asking for to be treated

with respect and dignity. they're asking is for no one to question the considerable physical physiological advantage they bring to the sport. I heard that. I was like, this is nuts. And yet I didn't say anything. You know why you didn't? Because unlike those fake women, you have no nuts. By the way, it looks like his barber also was afraid to speak up. You know, when Malcolm walked in and said, I want to look like an exploding cigar. Listen, it takes guts to admit a mistake, and we all have lapses and judgment. Sometimes after a few drinks, you go to sleep with a 10, but you wake up next to a 6.

What? So should we applaud him for coming clean? It takes a big man to admit when he's wrong, but Gladwell didn't. He just admitted he was weak. He portrays this situation as if a bad thing was done to him. He was cowed. No, he wasn't cowed. Cowd is what happens when you go to lunch with Joy Behar.

Wait, wait. And she demands to lick gravy off your face. And he had a choice, unlike the women who saw Leah Thomas's wang, and his choice was to join the mob and then call out the brave folks who didn't. He hoped the alligator would eat. him last, which may also be why he glues pubic hair onto his scalp. So, in effect, he's simply telling us that he stopped doing a bad thing. You know, he's like a drunk driver who wants credit for using his turn signal when he

enters a playground. Still funny as a dad. Now, granted, he could have lied and said, look, I felt one way about trans athletes before, but then I did the research, and I changed. changed my mind. That research would have taken three seconds, you know, the time it takes to look down someone's pants. But he didn't. Instead, he said he never believed the BS to begin with, but it took a coward's path. He really doesn't take responsibility. He pretends he was forced to lie, but he gave up his agency and now he's ashamed of it, like people who saw

cold play on purpose. Could this be the tipping point that Gladwell wrote about when it's safe for chicken to say out loud what they always believed? Now that the coast is clear, he's retreating faster than his hairline. But he leaves out why he's saying it now.

And not last year. What could be different? Let's be real. we are experiencing so many moments of honesty that wouldn't have happened if Trump hadn't won. Trump is human truth serum. People come within a mile of him and they start spilling the beans. But if Kamala had won, people like Malcolm would have remained silent,

terrified of losing status, speaking gigs, and free hair care products. Because the left assigns opinions and expects you to fall in line, which he did. So the only reason he is talking now is because it's safe. He's like the guy at a bar who waits until the bouncer breaks up the fight before he starts talking trash. So on one hand, I welcome Malcolm to the right side. But on the other, you know, I was there the whole time and wished others like him would share the risk. They didn't. They were too scared.

And with each passive lie, the mob grew bigger. And all we asked was three words, share the risk. Not just on trans, but on other risky positions, the fine people hoax, the border chaos, Biden's broken brain, or that Jasmine Crockett doesn't know what a circle is. Some shared, many didn't. And still, we took the heat while others who secretly agreed with us instead pulled a Tim Walts. Maybe Malcolm should admit that. After all, it's safe now. So come on in. The water's warm, not just because you're standing near Joe Biden. Listen ad-free with a Fox News podcast plus subscription on Apple Podcasts.
