0:00.0	Hey there, listeners. Just a quick note before we get started, there is a description in this podcast of an act of sexual violence. And so let this message serve as a trigger warning. Okay, let's get started.
0:14.6	Welcome to the Edge of Sports podcast. I'm Dave Ziron. Our guest this week is three-time gold medal-winning swimmer, member of the International
0:22.2	Women's Sports Hall of Fame, and a crusading Title IX attorney, and the founder of the
0:27.6	organization champion women, Nancy Hogshead, Maycar.
0:32.1	We are going to speak about what the Trump administration could mean to Title IX.
0:37.2	Also, I was on the streets of
0:39.1	D.C. for the inauguration. Now I will have some words about how tiny it was. And lastly, a just

1:28.9	Right.
1:29.3	I didn't hear a single harsh word.
1:31.3	Everybody was joyful and excited to see each other.
1:34.3	And there was sort of this recognition that we are together.
1:37.4	We are one.
1:38.4	It was.
1:39.0	And then, of course, the signs were this incredible source of humor and having my girls there and be able for them to know that they were part of the largest demonstration ever on the planet with 600 different marches in 57 different countries on every single continent.
1:59.7	And huge marches in places like Idaho and Lincoln, Nebraska.
2:04.1	Amazing.
