Summary

Riley Gaines returns to speak with Dr. Jordan Peterson about marriage, pregnancy, and what it means to pursue both motherhood and mission in a culture that tells women they must choose. Riley shares how her decision to keep fighting for women’s sports and biological reality has only deepened since becoming pregnant with a daughter—and why she refuses to slow down. The fight was already personal. Now—it’s as deep as lineage.

Clearly, now we're not living in 2020 anymore.

0:22.0

I would say 2025 has been a total cultural, societal, political shift from then.

0:28.0

That shows that the system is responsive and maybe that sanity can hold out against insanity.

0:34.3

The family that I have, the home life that I have, my parents taught me to call out an injustice when I see it.

0:41.3

The claims that are being made to include men and women's sports on behalf of fairness are actually being made by people who, I would say, quite bluntly, they hate people like you.

ahead in consequence of virtue display, centering on fairness, is a masquerade hiding malicious envy.

1:06.6

It's not that they're upset that you're unfair. They despise merit. God has a way of laughing in your face when you express any sort of interest in your plans.

1:16.0

He very clearly had different plans.
