Wow. I really, I can't, I can't imagine what the family's going through. I'm not going to even try. I, I, it really leaves me speechless. And all I can say is, can you, I just want to, I want to show the photo of the suspect here. This is the sick individual who did this to this family. You're looking at Austin Metcalf on the screen and his disgusting attacker, alleged attacker. He's in custody. But, you know, can you imagine if the roles were reversed? Instead of looking to God for comfort and healing, this could have been another excuse for communities to burn to the ground in the name of social justice. You know, and Jeff Metcalf, the father, he did an interview on Fox News this morning and he said, you know, I really don't want this to be politicized. I really don't want this to be a racial thing. But I just, I was scrolling on TikTok this morning. I saw an NBC News report. They posted Austin's photo. They did not post a photo of the suspect. I find that curious. Why put the photo of Austin up? These are all minors, by the way. They're both 17 years old. If you're going to post the photo of the of the victim, why not post the photo of the suspect? I just found that so odd. It seems like there might be a narrative that they're trying to cover up, but this father and brother have been so strong in the face of this horrific loss. I want to show you Austin's last post on X before he died. Faith that God got me and my work will pay off. That was on March 31, 2025. That is the last post on X of a 17 year old who senselessly lost his life. Thank goodness that this family, they are people of faith. Thank goodness that these parents raised their children to love and trust God. That is all I have to say. Thank goodness that they have strong faith because their faith is what's going to carry them through this horrific loss. Now, there have been a lot of updates on the trans issue of trans athletes in women's sports. You may remember Trump signing an executive order on this topic. This was February 5th. He signed the executive order. He surrounded by young women and girls around him. This was, this was what it was all about. It was about young women and young children who won't have to grow up to compete against men or have men in their locker rooms and in their private spaces. But not every state is complying with President Trump's executive order. Back in February, Maine. So this is the video here. This is Trump just surrounded by women and girls. They're all very excited. They're all smiling. This is the way. But then you have states like Maine who are not doing anything to comply. And Trump basically vowed to cut federal funding to the state if it refused to comply. This was back in February 20th. And now just this week, the U. S. Department of Agriculture announced on Wednesday that they are going to pause federal funding to Maine. Now, the same treatment might be in store for New York. Now, this isn't a public college or a public school, but the, the executive order, it didn't just stop at schools. It said that states who don't comply with this might lose funding as well. So over at Ithaca College in New York, there's a transgender sophomore named Juniper Gatone. And Juniper competed with women just this weekend at a regatta. So the independent women's forum actually called out Ithaca College saying this is on X. They said, you know, come on, this is Trump signed this executive order and now this isn't going in, in this direction. They're still allowing, they're defying President Trump. They're allowing men to compete with women. So Ithaca College's director of communications, David Maley. He said that it was just an oopsie daisies. It was just a misunderstanding. He said, you know, it was the intent of Ithaca College to comply with the NCAA rules. And under those rules, student athletes who are transgender, they have the ability to be on the roster and compete with open gender competition. This was not that, though. So I don't know where the confusion was where the transgender student would be allowed to participate. This was not an open gender. There was male and female. There were males competing in this regatta and females, guess what? Guess where this transgender person competed with. With the females. So this is a violation of Trump's executive order. His executive order said that the policy of the United States is to oppose male competitive competition and participation in women's sports more broadly. This is a matter of safety, fairness, dignity, and truth. And even though his executive order spans beyond learning institutions, this is happening in races and meets and games and leagues outside of schools. So at the Cherry Blossom Open in Maryland, this is a fencing competition. Stephanie Turner was up against a transgender athlete named Redmond Sullivan. And basically, Stephanie Turner got totally red pilled over this experience. Her eyes were opened after seeing, you know, Riley Gaines and this, this movement to stop men from competing against women and keeping them out of their locker rooms and, and bathrooms. So she, she had heard about Redmond Sullivan being a potential competitor, and she thought to herself, okay, if this happens and I am paired up to compete against Redmond, I am going to take a knee. So here's a video of her taking a knee in this competition. You could see Turner on her leg there. That's Stephanie. She takes her helmet off. This is Redmond Sullivan on the opposite end. And a someone from the organization comes over and is asking her, making sure, like, is she hurt? What's going on? So she looked at the ref and said, I'm sorry, I can't do this. I'm a woman. This is a man, this is a woman's tournament, and I will not fence this individual. So Redmond, the transgender athlete there, didn't hear Stephanie, so he came up to her and said, you know, know, are you okay? Because he thought that she was hurt. And she replied to him, I'm sorry, I have much love and respect for you, but I will not fence you. This is what the transgender athlete said to her in this moment that you're watching right here. Well, you know, there's a member on the board of director here who supports me, and there is a policy that acknowledges me as a woman. So I'M allowed to fence and you will get black carded. Stephanie Turner said, I know. So Stephanie Turner was dealt a black card, and this is what the organization did. They forced Stephanie to read their transgender policy. Then they had her sign a document acknowledging the black card that she'd received in going against this transgender policy. So she signs the document saying, I understand why you're doing this to me. Then she was escorted off of the property. So Fox News Digital reached out to the US Fencing spokesperson for a statement, and they said that Stephanie Turner was actually not penalized for her stance against trans inclusion. She was only penalized for refusing to fence. But that's not true. That's not true at all. The transgender athletes said to her, there's someone on the board here who supports me as a woman, and you're going to get black carded. That's exactly what happened. She got black carded. Then they made her and forced her to read through the transgender guidelines, and then she was escorted off the property. So I don't believe that for one second that she was penalized for just refusing defense. Of course it had to do with the transgender policy. So Stephanie Turner, she's a self proclaimed lifelong Democrat, but she said she never opposed LGBTQ people, but she was totally red pilled on this issue of trans men or trans women and women's sports. So men and women's sports, of course. And now she's identifying as a Republican conservative. She voted down ballot red this year, so I think that's pretty cool. She stood up for herself. She did the right thing. She's standing up for women in sports and biological reality. Of course she got penalized for it, but we've got one more Republican voter this year. It's quite the experience to have to go through. But, you know, in deep blue states and public schools, they're actually doubling down on the idea that men should play in women's sports. So this is in Washington State, Washington State Senate, they introduced Bill SB5123. And this bill essentially says that if they don't allow transgender students whatever they want, you know, if the. The schools don't do what they say it could, it could lead to suicide for these LGBTQ students, because that's what the Trevor Project says. So if the Trevor Project says that, then the schools have to comply. So they want to provide statewide protections for marginalized students, and they feel like they're paving the way for inclusivity. But a Washington Democratic state representative, Christine Reeves, she drew some parallels between the issue of transgenders in women's sports, and, of course, race, because it always comes back to race. Listen to this.
