  • Keeping 'Bananas' Out of Women's Sport

    Keeping 'Bananas' Out of Women's Sport
    Jul 19 2025
    Running the Boston Marathon was a dream for Natalie Daniels and doing it six-months postpartum felt like a way for her to celebrate the beauty and power of the female body. That’s why Daniels says she was troubled to learn that the Boston Marathon was now allowing men who identify as women to compete in the women’s category. Daniels, an avid marathon runner, shared her concerns regarding the Boston Marathon policy on social media and on a podcast with XX-XY Athletics just a few days before the marathon in April. Almost instantly, people Daniels did and did not know began attacking her over her opinion that men should not be allowed to compete in the women’s category. The young mom faced threats, with individuals online encouraging Boston Marathon attendees to throw bottles at Daniels while she ran. Following the race, Daniels was kicked out of her running club for refusing to state that a man, with enough hormones and treatment, can ever become a woman. Today, she has partnered with XX-XY Athletics, a pro-women athletic apparel company, to stand up for the integrity and protection of women’s sports. Daniels joins the Problematic Women Podcast to share her story and explain how her faith in God has played a critical role in her running journey. Also on today’s show, we discuss Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., appeared on “The Shawn Ryan Show,” and the controversy following Chip and Joanna Gaines decision to feature a same-sex couple in their new TV series. And is “Swag,” Justin Bieber’s new album, a hit or a miss? We give our reactions. Enjoy the show!

  • ‘Digital Fentanyl,’ Micro-Retirements, and ‘Call Her Daddy’ Fail

    ‘Digital Fentanyl,’ Micro-Retirements, and ‘Call Her Daddy’ Fail
    Jul 12 2025
    Smartphones are “digital fentanyl,” says Clare Morell, author of “The Tech Exit: A Practical Guide to Freeing Kids and Teens from Smartphones.” Studies show that a child’s phone or tablet usage directly affects his or her brain development and “hinders their ability to self-regulate their own emotions, to develop self-control, and impulse control,” Morell says. Consuming digital content, especially social media, is designed to cause a release of dopamine and causes kids to increasingly live in the “limbic part of their brain, which is their social-reward kind of processing center, and it is leading to the underdevelopment of their prefrontal cortex.” The prefrontal cortex is the part of the brain that is responsible for self-control, regulating emotions, and critical thinking. As more knowledge about the effect of social media on the brain becomes known, some families are choosing to ditch smartphones altogether. have decided to wait to give their children smartphones until they are adults, and to provide a road map for how other families can join the growing trend. Also on today’s show, we take a moment to remember the lives lost to the flash flooding in Texas. Plus, we discuss Elon Musk’s proposed America Party and a Gen Z trend known as “micro-retirements.” Subscribe to The Tony Kinnett Cast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-tony-kinnett-cast/id1714879044⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Keep Up With The Daily Signal Sign up for our email newsletters:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.dailysignal.com/email⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Subscribe to our other shows: The Signal Sitdown: https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL2026390376 Problematic Women:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.dailysignal.com/problematic-women⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Victor Davis Hanson: https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL9809784327 Follow The Daily Signal: X:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=DailySignal Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/thedailysignal/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/TheDailySignalNews/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Truth Social:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://truthsocial.com/@DailySignal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.youtube.com/dailysignal?sub_confirmation=1 Subscribe on your favorite podcast platform and never miss an episode.

  • Americana Summer: The Conservateur’s Jayme Franklin on Trump’s ‘Hot’ America

    Americana Summer: The Conservateur’s Jayme Franklin on Trump’s ‘Hot’ America
    Jul 5 2025
    Jayme Franklin was a young college student at UC Berkeley in 2016 and chose to support Donald Trump for president. Following Trump’s election, Franklin quickly became aware of a lack of conservative representation among young conservative women. Women’s magazines like Vogue and Cosmopolitan peddled leftist talking points and promoted narratives in opposition to traditional values. In response, Franklin founded The Conservateur in 2020. The Conservateur publication provides thoughtful commentary on political and cultural issues from a conservative perspective, but also promotes classic American values through fashion. Playing on Trump “Make America Great Again Hat,” The Conservateur created its own “Make America Hot Again” hat, famously sported by Lara Trump in 2022. Franklin joins the “Problematic Women” podcast to discuss conservative trends in America, from Trad wives to classic fashion. Also on today’s show, we discuss Trump’s winning policy streak, from the Big Beautiful Bill to the Alligator Alcatraz illegal alien detention facility in Florida. Enjoy this week’s show!

  • Inside The White House: Mary Margaret Olohan on Power, Press, and What You Don’t See

    Inside The White House: Mary Margaret Olohan on Power, Press, and What You Don’t See
    Jun 28 2025
    Working weekends, flights on Air Force One, and jockeying for position to ask press secretary Karoline Leavitt a question in the briefing room is all a part of life as a White House correspondent, according to Mary Margaret Olohan. As a member of the “new media” in the White House, Olohan says the interactions between the corporate media reporters and journalists like herself are "by and large been pretty polite," but notes little differences between the two groups remain. For example, new media do not have a permanent seat in the briefing room, and Olohan jokes it is a little like the “Titanic because there is the elite first class and they sit in the seats, and then in the aisles you have the second class of the citizens who don't get seats.” Olohan, author of “Detrans: True Stories of Escaping the Gender Ideology Cult,” spent years reporting on culture issues, including for The Daily Signal, before becoming the White House correspondent for The Daily Wire. She joins the “Problematic Women” podcast to explain the dynamic between the new and corporate media in the briefing room, and to share what will surprise most Americans about working as a White House correspondent. Also on today’s show, we discuss what Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s victory in New York City’s mayoral primary means for the Big Apple and the Democrat Party.

  • 'No Kings,' No Clue: The Left Screams at the Sky While America Returns to Reality

    'No Kings,' No Clue: The Left Screams at the Sky While America Returns to Reality
    Jun 21 2025
    Reality is clashing with the narrative elite institutions have pushed on the country for years—and the American people are finally waking up and choosing sanity. Despite what corporate media claimed about the “No Kings” protests reflecting majority sentiment last weekend, the lack of energy and cohesion was clear. Ignore the shouting from all fronts—protesters, Democrat politicians, and the media. A majority of voters approve of the Trump administration’s deportation efforts. Fifty-six percent (56%) of respondents to a recent Napolitan News Service survey said they either strongly or somewhat approve of the deportation of illegal aliens from the United States. While Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass warns the Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportations are a bad idea because entire sectors of the economy “could not function without immigrant labor,” more than 90% of the jobs at one facility were taken back by legal Nebraskans just days after a major ICE raid. Turns out Americans will do the work—they just have to be offered the opportunity. On this week’s episode of Problematic Women, we’re diving into the growing clash between elite narratives and everyday reality—from college grads struggling in a broken job market, to ICE enforcement restoring American jobs, to pop culture’s identity crisis with stars like Sabrina Carpenter. It’s a full spectrum of chaos, clarity, and the quiet return of common sense.

  • Riley Gaines vs. Simone Biles, Musk vs. Trump, and LA vs. America

    Riley Gaines vs. Simone Biles, Musk vs. Trump, and LA vs. America
    Jun 14 2025
    The violent anti-immigration enforcement riots that began in Los Angeles over a week ago have led to vandalism, destruction of property, and assaults on law enforcement. But one of the results of the riots its investigators likely did not intend was the creation of common ground between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump after the public fallout between the two men. Tension between Musk and Trump entered public view when Musk said he did not believe the Congressional spending bill that includes much of Trump’s agents could be both “big” and “beautiful.” Days later, on June 5, Musk fired off a series of posts on X bashing the bill, and even went so far as to share a post calling for Trump’s impeachment. Trump also took multiple shots at Musk, writing that Musk had been “wearing thin” and threatened to terminate contracts Musk’s companies have with the government. But on June 8, following the outbreak of the riots in L.A., Musk shared two posts from Trump condemning the riots in the California city, raising eyebrows that maybe the men were moving toward reconciliation. On June 11, Musk wrote on X, “I regret some of my posts about President [Donald Trump] last week. They went too far.” That same day, Trump told the New York Post that he was open to reconciling with Musk and said there were "no hard feelings." Did the rioters in L.A. remind the two men of their shared dislike of the radical left, ultimately setting them on a trajectory toward reconciliation? Impossible to know, but the fiery protests no doubt created an opportunity for the men to remember what they share in common - a desire to restore common sense policies to cities like L.A. On this week’s edition of "Problematic Women," we discuss the implication of the L.A. riots and the response from the political left and right. Also on this week’s show, we dig into the conflict between swimmer Riley Gaines and gymnast Simone Biles. Plus, Zachary Levi wants to start a non-woke movie studio.

  • Is America Ditching LGBTQ this Pride Month?

    Is America Ditching LGBTQ this Pride Month?
    Jun 6 2025
    In recent years, a trip into Target on June 1 was the only reminder needed that the month is dedicated to celebrating “gay pride,” but not so this year. Instead of a prominent display of chest binders and bathing suits designed for “tucking” private parts, as seen at Target in the summer of 2023, the major U.S. retailer is celebrating “Costal Classics” with red, white, and blue themed clothing this summer. The shift comes just months after Target announced it was ending some of its DEI initiatives and follows several years of declining revenues for the retailer. While Target appears to have gotten the memo that Americas want a more traditional and less woke agenda, Hollywood will always be the last to learn. The popular HBO show “The Last of Us,” ended its first season with 8.2 million views in February 2023, according to The Hollywood Reporter. But the show’s second season ended with half as many viewers. Why? It might have something to do with the show’s denial of reality. The show received criticism when one of the characters, who is a lesbian, learns that her partner is pregnant from a previous relationship and responds, “I'm going to be a dad.” The season finale drew 3.7 million viewers, falling from 5.3 million when the show premiered in April. On this week’s edition of “Problematic Women” we discuss why these incidents and others point to a shift away from the radical woke ideology toward a desire for traditional values in America. Also on today’s show, we respond to the news for Biden administration press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is leaving the Democrat Party. Plus, the fight to protect life is far from over, a reality made evident by Planned Parenthood’s the latest abortion numbers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Democrats Already Lost Young Men, Now Their Strategy Might Cost Them Women Too

    Democrats Already Lost Young Men, Now Their Strategy Might Cost Them Women Too
    May 31 2025
    Make America Healthy Again, spearheaded by Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is bridging political divides through a shared value for healthy living and a skepticism over the number of vaccines given to children. Now, conservative pro-life moms and liberal mothers in Colorado who make their own GMO-free baby food have something to agree on—the health and well-being of our children should always be placed above politics. But even as Kennedy announced that the Centers for Disease Control will no longer requires the COVID-19 vaccine for healthy pregnant women and children in its immunization schedule, far-left politicians doubled down on their vaccine love. On this week’s edition of “Problematic Women,” we discuss the left’s latest search for meaning and leadership as Democrats double down on losing policies that are isolating voters. Also on today’s show, the FBI is investigating the mayor of Seattle. We explain why. And Jordan Peterson found himself in an awkward situation during a recent debate. Was he set up for failure?
