"I want to take this Betty Yee from the standpoint of somebody that has daughters and somebody that — my daughters would were never particularly athletic — but I have a lot of friends that have daughters that play soccer, play volleyball, run track, play softball," Carville said on the podcast. "You know what their parents don't want them doing for good f------ reason is competing with males."
He then proposed Yee take note of the last Olympics’ winning female score in any particular event and compare it to what it would have been if it were against men in the same sport and note the disparity between the two.
"Because, what you're doing, you understand what you're doing, to try to some kind of cheap political point with a bunch of left-wing zombies is you're ruining the women that work their a--es off, that compete, and by the way, there's been an explosion in interest in women's sports," Carville said. "The last thing they need to do is be competing against the Duke men's basketball team."

Carville declared, "This is asinine, asinine, asinine,"
Co-host Al Hunt replied, "It's actually an insult to Title IX, which you have to give Richard Nixon credit for."
"It's just like ‘Why?’ Where are these people coming from? What rock did they crawl from under?" Carville asked rhetorically.
Fox News Digital reached out to Yee and did not receive immediate reply.
