Kelly reads from an Out Sports article estimating tens of thousands of uncloseted transgender athletes at the high school level, directly contradicting media claims that only a handful of trans athletes compete in women's sports. Finnerty picks up the thread with two concrete examples: Lia Thomas, a biological male who won a Division I national swimming championship at UPenn, and Peyton McNabb, a female high school volleyball player who was spiked in the face by a 6'3" biological male in 2022, was knocked unconscious for over a minute, and suffered a traumatic brain injury requiring hospitalization. [1] — Matt Taibbi "CNN's chief legal analyst Laura Coates described the Supreme Court's trans-sports ruling as involving someone 'assigned the male gender at …" 18:50 Finnerty makes a moral argument as well: even if the numbers were small, as the left claims, that would not make it acceptable — drawing the parallel to Sheridan Gorman's murder, which Democrats similarly try to dismiss as an isolated incident. Kelly credits McNabb with helping build the case that led to the Supreme Court's ruling.
Rob Finnerty cited Lia Thomas's national swimming championship as proof that even a single transgender athlete can cause significant harm to women's sports competition.
Pride Month 2026 featured scenes from Washington Square Park of people twerking on poles and light fixtures while throwing bottles at police. Seattle Pride ended with Antifa-affiliated attendees arresting independent journalists who covered the event. Finnerty says these events have become increasingly violent and perverse since gay marriage was legalized in 2015.
Spencer Greenberg and Jeremy Stevenson analyzed almost 500 self-improvement techniques and found they all reduce to just 12 underlying psychological drivers.
Cold exposure has good short-term alertness benefits but the evidence base for long-term health benefits is much weaker than popularly believed.
In a randomized study of 20 habit-formation techniques run on hundreds of people, almost none of the techniques produced statistically meaningful results.
People given a tiny-habit fallback option (e.g. 10 squats instead of gym) were actually MORE successful at completing the full habit, not less.
The most effective habit-formation technique was 'habit reflection' — recalling a past successful habit, writing down what helped, then applying those lessons to a new habit.
A study found that simply scheduling enjoyable activities was as effective as standard cognitive behavioral therapy for depression, leading to its own therapy called behavioral activation.
The 'worry time' technique — deferring all worries to a designated time of day — helps people realize they have more control over worry than they thought and reveals it is less useful than it feels.
A study found that participants told to try to stay awake while in bed fell asleep faster than participants told to try to sleep — illustrating the paradox of direct effort.
Spencer Greenberg reduced his severe social anxiety dramatically in roughly 6 months through a structured exposure therapy hierarchy, culminating in asking strangers for hugs.
