CLAY TRAVIS (HOST): Katie Ledecky. Did you see this story over the weekend? Katie Ledecky was asked about whether she believed, specifically, Leah Thomas should be able to compete in men's — in women's swimming, and she refused to give an opinion. Katie Ledecky is the best women's swimmer in maybe American history, certainly one of the best ever.

… 

So the idea that you would have a situation where a prominent women's swimmer would be unable or unwilling to answer a question despite begging for attention and begging for a profile piece in the New York Times, I think, frankly, is pathetic. Katie Ledecky knows it's B.S. She knows that there's no basis whatsoever for men to be identifying as women and winning women's championships. She's too much of a coward to say it. I think it's pathetic. Shame on her.
