Summary
Byl Holte (pronounced “Bill Holt”) is many things. He is Black. He is gay. He is Patti LaBelle’s adopted son/nephew. And he has a significant following on X. But he has been largely isolated from his family and friends because of (wait for it)… politics. That hasn’t stopped him from expressing his opinions about feminism, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden’s America. This is his first-ever on-camera interview. Oh — and he was at the Capitol on January 6th.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to a brand new episode of the Michelle Tofoya podcast. Do you remember Patty LaBelle, just an |
| 0:06.4 | amazing vocalist singer? She just, certainly in the 80s and 90s, just a huge star. Well, she had a sister |
| 0:14.9 | who died and left behind a niece and a nephew of Patty LaBelle's. And Ms. LaBelle adopted them. So they're now kind of like |
| 0:23.4 | her children, even though they're still her niece and nephew. One of them kind of got caught up in a weird |
| 0:29.6 | political communication scandal, mini scandal. And it turned out that it was revealed that Patty LaBelle's adopted son slash nephew |
| 0:40.1 | was a Republican, a conservative, which Patty LaBelle is not. And she said, well, you don't get to |
| 0:47.4 | pick your family. So his name is Bill Holt, William Holt. And he is an interesting guy who's lost a lot of friends and even has some strong disagreements with his aunt, Patty LaBelle, and many other relatives, because he doesn't think like them. |
| 1:05.8 | He is gay, obviously black, and doesn't tow the party line. He is our guest in his very first |
| 1:17.7 | interview ever. I'm excited to introduce you to him. He's a really interesting person with an |
| 1:24.6 | interesting point of view. And part of that point of view has to do with, you know, |
| 1:30.0 | the fact that he's gay. It doesn't make him in favor of transgender women participating in women's |
| 1:36.1 | sports. And this is where I am proud to say that one woman who does believe in Title IX as it was |
| 1:43.7 | separating the sports into two genders, male and |
| 1:46.9 | female, two sexes, biologically. Jennifer Say, former CEO of Levi's and her brand new company, |
| 1:54.1 | XX, XY, Athletics, is sponsoring this edition of the Michelle Tofoya podcast. Now, if you haven't |
| 2:00.8 | checked out XXXY Athletics, you really owe it Tofoya podcast. Now, if you haven't checked out |
| 2:01.2 | XXXY Athletics, you really owe it to yourself to do. So it is the only athletic brand standing |
| 2:07.8 | up for the protection of women's sports. And this is more important than it's ever been before, |
| 2:12.9 | because as we mentioned, Joe Biden has gutted Title IX and eliminated women as a sex-based class. |
| 2:19.9 | They're just now including trans women, biological men who present as women, identify as women. |
| 2:26.5 | They're including them in women's sports, women's locker rooms, et cetera. |
| 2:31.5 | So there's no better person to lead this effort than Jennifer say she was a |
