WEBVTT - The Hard Foul 0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:06.800 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:12.000 Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty. I'm strong and Jetty, 0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:17.919 and now he I'm strong and Natty. 0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:26.119 You know, I'm transgender. I'm a woman. 0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:31.120 I'm identify as sometimes identifying as a woman for purposes 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:35.080 of basketball professional basketball. So I'll be declaring for the 0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.640 WNBA Draft in twenty twenty seven as well. 0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:42.840 That's a proud American woman. Royce White. She is six 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:45.840 foot eight and two hundred and seventy pounds, an NBA 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:49.680 player until a few years ago, I think, but she 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:54.959 has now come out as transgender, and MS White goes on. 0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.440 I mean, I think I'd be unstoppable, you know. But 0:00:58.480 --> 0:00:59.720 I'm a team first guy. 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:03.120 You know. I'm a pass first kind of player. I 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:04.400 do the little things, you know. 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.240 I led my team in all five major stack categories 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:10.160 at Iowa State University, So I do a little bit 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:11.920 of every I'll do whatever the coach needs me to do. 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.520 I'll do whatever the girls need me to do. 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:19.479 Rice one of two former NBA players who are declaring 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:24.000 for the WNBA draft, taking them at their word as 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:29.000 progressives that trans women are women and the WNBA commissioner 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:33.600 has announced an emergency meeting of the general managers and 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.920 coaches of the league to deal with being asked to 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.720 live up to their principles. The fact that that would 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.320 be an emergency meeting tells you everything you need to know. 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:46.959 I think about progressivism Before we get into a little 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:53.400 more of that, one of the issues is, and Michael, 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:59.120 we'll start with fifteen in a second, but one of 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:03.000 the issues is, as Jack's mentioned in Katie Too, the 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:06.240 WNBA started as a pr project of the NBA. It's 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.840 heavily subsidized by the NBA. It would not stay in 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:12.280 business if it were not for that. You might be 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.600 firmly in favor of girls sports and women's sports and 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:16.080 women's collegiate sports. 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:16.440 I am. 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:20.119 I'm a big fan. I defend them with my life. 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.680 But the idea that yes, there's a women's league for 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.040 every sport and it should be as popular as the 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.040 men's is just silly. It's not. It's not even close. 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:32.840 But because of the nature of it, the way it started, 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.519 the WNBA, and the fact that it is heavily black, 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:42.200 heavily lesbian, and extremely progressive, they embrace all sorts of 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:50.120 progressive nuttiness. For instance, Sophie Cunningham and who's also on 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.519 the same team with Caitlin Clark on Indiana and is 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.560 kind of the enforcer. Somebody takes out your star, you 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:57.359 give them an elbow in the mouth. That's the way 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.959 Basketball's always were a hockey, the rest of them, So 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:05.360 how you protect the stars? Got absolutely mugged. I've seen 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:09.200 this video, Katie. Have you seen the foul on Sophie Cunningham. 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:10.480 Oh yeah, she. 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:12.640 Got basically punched in the face. 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.440 Well, yeah, a big what do you call it? A 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.520 clothes line As she goes up for layup, this Dja 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:22.880 Carrington clotheslined right in the neck and head and sent 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:28.799 her crashing to the ground. Just a big, angry, nasty, deliberate, blatant, 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:34.359 flagrant fowl. But Sophie explains what happens after miss Carrington 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:35.040 was ejected. 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.400 Yeah, so Carrington is a dirty player, probably the dirtiest 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:41.160 player in the league. And then she has the audacity 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.680 to go online right after her ejection and claim that 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.880 she got ejected because of racism. She definitely learned well 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.040 from Angel Reese. Whenever something goes against you, just pull 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.360 out that race card. I think she's jealous of my 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.560 natural blonde hair. She'll never have this hair. I literally 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:56.400 got clotheslined in the air, and this clown has to 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.720 turn it into race. Her level of IQ needs to 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:00.520 be studied for generations. 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:06.600 Number one meow yeah, number number two. Yeah. Djna Carrington 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:11.280 got ejected for this playtant assault foul, and he goes 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.080 to the locker room and texts white privilege. 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:15.120 Yeah. 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.320 She sent it out on uh threads, which is like 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.039 Instagram's Twitter, right right right essentially. 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:24.000 Yeah. So and then, oh my god, this just shows 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:27.960 how incredibly woke this league is. So after her star 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:32.440 player gets almost killed by a blatant, flagrant fowl, here's 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:37.239 coach Stephanie White of Indiana defending the player who committed 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:38.039 the foul. 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:38.960 Was a hard foul. 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.920 I don't think that dj and A intentionally came out 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:45.080 to get her across the neck like she did, but 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.159 it did happen, and I thought it was the right call. 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.359 But you know, one of the things about Nay is 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:51.200 that she's gonna. 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:51.720 Play her butt off. 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:52.599 Man, She's gonna compete. 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:54.560 Nobody's gonna go walking in for a layup, and so 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.479 I'm not I don't oppose the hard foul. But I 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:00.520 also don't think that she intentionally would for the name. 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:04.400 Here's the visual Caitlin Clark and who is the other 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.599 player next door? At that press conference, their heads were 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:11.679 in their hands, Their heads were hanging with a blank look. 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.839 As let me tell you this. Maybe you're not an athlete, 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:18.280 maybe you don't follow sports. There is no league, there's 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:24.800 no team on earth. We're after a flagrant, injectable foul 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:28.240 like that. Your coach would be defending the person who 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:33.120 did it. There is no way. That's because miss the 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:37.720 coach Stephanie White, feels the need to defend the black 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:48.159 perhaps lesbian player because of oppressor oppresse political theory, critical theory. 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:53.400 As a white woman, white straight woman, Sophie Cunningham has 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:57.839 the power and so the black player is automatically always 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:01.080 right in critical theory. Right, you're used to that. The 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:06.160 underdog mote was called in the early days victim oppresser theology, 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.480 and so she felt like she had to. That's how 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.720 woke this crazy league is. Katie Moore on that before 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:13.760 I move on to the next pointer. 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:16.320 Yeah, so if you Cunningham actually followed up on this, 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:19.520 there somebody you know commented on, how you know, I 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.320 wouldn't watch this, but the fights are getting good, and 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.279 she said, yeah, I wouldn't watch this circus either, and 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.560 everybody's just tuning in for the cat fights. 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.000 Wow. Wow, that's gonna make her popular. 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.120 But so here is. 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:37.960 Here's John Root, who's a citizen journalist, an independent journalist 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:42.880 on the street, asking various people, including this woke young woman, 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:47.560 about the move of the former NBA players to go 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:49.840 out for the WNBA. The truth is. 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:51.680 Trans women or women, and so if they would like 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:53.880 to play women's sports, then that would be something that 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:54.760 they should do as women. 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:58.359 A few former NBA first round picks came out yesterday 0:06:58.400 --> 0:06:59.920 and declared for the WNBA draft. 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:01.360 Are you supportive of them? 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:01.719 Yeah? 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.080 So if they truly were trans, then I would be 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.080 perhaps supportive of them, but they're not. 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.000 Who determines he's really a woman? 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:11.760 Though, I would say I would love to see them 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.560 play against Asia Wilson and Peter her I doubt they would, 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:15.840 so thank you so much. 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:18.520 Okay, so you've got a couple of things, and then 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:22.680 she rolls her eyes. Number one, those six foot eight, 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.840 two hundred and seventy pound guys and I've seen them 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:31.120 play recently. Would make Asia Wilson look like, you know, 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:35.800 a girl. They would crush her sweetheart. It would be 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.000 it would be embarrassing, it would be ugly. You couldn't 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.520 watch more than a little bit because then it would 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:46.840 just be sad. Right, But she, in her plucky, proud way, 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:52.640 denies that reality. I don't want to see it. I 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:56.920 just want these people called on their bluff. Man, this 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.680 crowd is sick in the head at all. They really are. 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:07.240 Yeah yeah. And then responding to one of your Wolke 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:10.920 type people, you had this big woke Twitter account saying, uh, 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:15.640 Andrew Mercado invent men, invent a problem, then try to 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:17.720 make it real. There are no men playing in the 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.640 WNBA yet, Enis Kanter and now Roy Swaiter announcing plans 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.280 to enter the draft as actors in a broader anti 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:27.280 trans narrative that falsely portrays women's sports as being overrun 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:31.880 by men. That's the new argument that they act like 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.880 it's the biggest problem in women's sports. No, no, it's 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:36.480 just it's a problem if you're on the field at 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.080 that time. It's a problem for the girls who are 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:40.360 having medals denied to them. It's a problem for the 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.280 college women who are taking volleyballs in the face or 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:45.680 losing out on the podium, or losing out on their dreams, 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:49.439 or being beat in meats or championships. That's it. That's 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:53.040 all I care about, Andrew. So your straw man is cute. 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.040 I hope you keep him out for Thanksgiving. The kids 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:58.080 will enjoy him. But nobody's claiming that, not at all. 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:02.880 But then he gets into there. They're not sincere, and 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:07.400 the brave and brilliant JK. Rowling replies, you say some 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:11.400 men's sincerely identify as women, but that these two men 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:15.679 aren't sincere. Do sincere men injure fewer women and girls 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.640 than insincere ones? How do we test for sincerity? What 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:23.360 if the sincerity jury is split? Very much looking forward 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:30.559 to your answers, I'm looking at the clock. I wish 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.240 we had time to get into my ultimate point. Jack 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:36.960 is going to weigh in from the vacation road in 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:45.079 a couple of minutes. The problem. The problem is, as 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.560 I alluded to earlier, the concept of the big lie. 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:51.920 And that's what's at the root of this. And this 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:53.880 is why I care, not only because I'm a huge 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:57.880 fan of girls and women's sports. As a supporter, I 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.319 don't necessarily want to watch the w NBA, In fact, 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:06.720 I don't. But this is not about boys and girls sports. Ultimately, 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:12.559 it's about communism and Marxism and the big Lie. And 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:14.320 you know, if you haven't been listening long and you 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.720 don't understand the connection, wait a second. In what censor 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.880 are like dudes who convert to being quote unquote a woman. 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.000 What do they have to do with communism? I'll explain 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:23.760 it to you a little more thoroughly in a little while. 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:26.199 Don't want to wearry you out. Well, we got all 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.000 sorts of other news to get to, and we'll check 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.120 in with Jack in a couple of minutes as well, 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:38.000 including the again to progressivism. The progressive prescription for our 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:43.160 schools is falling apart more and more and more. It's 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:47.959 going broke. The scores are miserable, the kids are unhappy, 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.520 the parents are unhappy. Government schools are crumbling. We'll get 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:52.840 to that and much more. 0:10:52.880 --> 0:11:03.040 Stay with us, you know, right right now, I'm just 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:04.760 having a blast in my feminine eraror. 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.920 I never thought that I was a woman. 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.760 You know, I've always trusted the science and I thought 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:12.800 I was a man my entire life. But you know, 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:15.720 after further review, you know, look a strong look at 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:20.240 my personal preferences, it would appear that I am indeed 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.880 sometimes identifying as a transgender woman. And I think it's 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:25.520 only fair I get a chance to play with with 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:28.679 some of my queens here in the twilight of my career. 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:34.520 My athletic prime that's future WNBA player Royce White, recently 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:39.199 come out as trans. We congratulate her on her courage. 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.280 Speaking of courageous here, he is the co host of 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:45.120 the Armstrong and Getty Show, Jack Armstrong, Jack, How are you, sir? 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:50.280 I feel like she's making a mockery of the issue. 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:55.640 I disagree. Well, who are you to judge her sincerity? 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:58.160 How old is this man? 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:03.080 This woman is? I don't know, forty ish? 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:06.200 I think I just wondered. I mean, because he's still 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:09.920 a great, big, giant dude. Who is NBA an NBA? 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.160 Whoa whoa whoa whoa? 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:12.240 What? 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:15.960 We got to beg you to stop misgendering this poor woman. 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:21.920 But she's thirty five, thank you, Michael. Okay, so he's 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:23.920 still plenty young, Yes she is. 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:28.120 They have got such a problem. What are they going 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:28.480 to do. 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:32.200 With this, right, calling their bluff. I love this, and 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.240 this illustrates for the millionth time, and it's one of 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:36.120 the reasons we do what we do. Certainly, it's one 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:37.760 of the reasons I do what I do and the 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:43.400 way I do it is that evildoers will put up 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.319 with a certain amount of opposition, but the one thing 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:50.880 they can't take is mockery. They can't take being called 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:53.000 on their bluffs and people laughing at them. I am 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.400 so delighted by this, as I said to Jack or 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:57.800 that we can This is like Christmas for me, this 0:12:57.840 --> 0:12:58.280 whole deal. 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:06.440 So there's two dudes, right, there's this guy and one other. 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:09.199 Yeah, you Atanter. 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.240 Yeah, and he was a pretty good player too, by 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:16.160 the way, both of them, both of them are. 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.920 Yeah, they're They're a real credit to American womanhood for sure. 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:23.599 So what what what do you think the WNBA is 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:24.120 going to do? 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.959 As I think, you know, Jack, they're having an emergency 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.880 meeting this week of all the general managers and coaches 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.240 to discuss what to do about somebody calling them on 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:37.559 their bluff, to figure out how they decide who's a woman. 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:41.160 I suspect very strongly that they will go with if 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:45.640 you went through male puberty, you don't get to play, 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:51.679 which is almost the right solution. But my problem with 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:57.800 that is there will be some some progressive lunatics, child abusing, 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:01.240 child mutilating lunatics who would think, oh my god, that 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:03.760 makes it all the more important that if an eight 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:07.680 year old is trans we start feeding them hormones and 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:11.199 mutilate their bodies while they're still children so they can 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:14.840 realize their dreams as women, which will create hundreds thousands 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:19.680 more of these poor, poor victims of this Joseph Mengela 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:20.760 style experiment. 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:29.560 Man, this like the clip that you just played. 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:30.480 This woman, Yes. 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:36.360 He's's doing he's doing, keeping a straight face, yes she is, 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.080 you know, and really playing it up like you know, 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:43.800 I'm just excited to finally get to express by them. 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:45.600 And then I'm the basketball court. 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:52.840 And her very low voice really heads to the comedic effect. 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:57.480 And what I'm what I'm doing now, obviously, and I 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:00.200 could deadpan this for a very long time. I could 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:04.800 approach this one hundred percent with the words, the slogans 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:09.160 and the philosophies of the progressive left, and it would 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:12.120 be like the funniest thing I could do just insisting 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:15.160 over and over again that Royce White is a woman. 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:17.040 That's about the funniest thing I could do. 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.280 Have you seen the clip. I just saw this a 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:27.880 few minutes ago, so I've been thinking about it. AOC 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:30.800 was on some interview show and talking about, Yeah, woke 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:31.920 one was crazy. 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:36.800 I didn't see that the idea of. 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.680 Being that, yeah, that whole woke period woke one, that 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:43.000 things got out of hand, but the new woke now 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:47.680 that we've you know, got our acts together or whatever. Yeah, 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.480 and somebody said that that is the history of like, 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:56.800 you know, Stalin murdering people or Mao starving people or whatever. 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.280 It's just like, yeah, things got out of hand and 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.560 that was crazy, but you know, we're not deviating from 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:04.680 our plan because it still works. It just something went 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:05.280 wrong there. 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:06.400 She actually called it. 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.200 She said, I've got this mayor friend. He calls it 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:10.320 woke one and woke one was crazy and they laugh. 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:15.280 Right. Turns out Stalin was a counter revolutionary. Now we've 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:18.840 got her act together and we still have a total power, yeah, exactly, 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.320 which reminds me Jack. I wish you could be here 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:22.600 for this, but I'll send it to you so you 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:24.080 can read it. On your own. One of my favorite 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:27.360 thinkers is a poll, a fellow from Poland who lived 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:31.160 through communism, and he explains what the West still doesn't get. 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.880 He calls it the most dangerous intellectual failure of our time. 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:37.520 And I'm gonna I'm going to talk about that with 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:39.080 the good folks in just a couple of minutes. Hope 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:41.920 you can stay tooky. What are you guys doing? You 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:42.400 and the boys. 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:46.520 Here's the thing I learned last night arriving in Canada, 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:50.880 driving across Driving across the border, they put gravy on 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:54.000 the French fries at the restaurants. Oh my god, I 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:56.960 don't think I'm ever coming back. I think of renouncing 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:58.800 my US citizenship and I will live here the rest 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:00.080 of my life. 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:03.640 You know, if you'd ended that sentence they put gravy 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:07.119 on with virtually anything, it would have been good news. 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.520 Gravy makes everything better. We'll have a great trip where 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:15.600 we look forward to updates from Canada. America has had 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.040 that Polish thinker. I promise you coming up in moments 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:20.520 stay with us. Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:25.400 Alexandria Cosio Cortes has not endorsed Hong in an interview 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:28.280 this weekend, she joked about some of those far left stances, 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.840 distancing herself from ideas that she previously supported. 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:36.840 Francesca Hang has made clear her present stances. He's moved 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:37.520 away from it. 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:38.560 And I have. 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:44.160 A local city councilman that has this, saying woke one 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:44.800 was crazy. 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.680 So yeah, they're moving away from what they told you 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:52.280 you had to believe or you would they would end 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:57.160 your career, they would kick you out of school, they 0:17:57.160 --> 0:18:01.760 would insist that Twitter and Facebook remove your accounts. And 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:05.400 now they've just kind of like they're changing clothes, disavowed 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:11.720 those very policies that were so important that they argued 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.800 in favor of suspending free speech if you uttered them, 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:17.679 because that was hate speech. Hate speech is not free speech. 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:22.160 You remember that, those are the beliefs they've now abandoned. 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:25.680 Almost makes you want to embrace free speech. 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:26.600 Huh. 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:30.120 So on that topic came across this. This guy's become 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:33.240 one of my favorite thinkers. There's too much good stuff 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:34.840 these days. Have you ever noticed that, Oh, my gosh, 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:41.600 there's so much good stuff. His name is Christoph Schavinsky 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:45.320 at least close his Twitter handle is Christoph of Poland. 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:48.919 But I've been trying to communicate this to y'all for 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:52.720 a long time, and you know, me quoting George Orwell 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:57.800 all the time, and the Voltaire's saying that I love 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:02.359 so much that those who could compel you to repeat 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:08.159 absurdities or say absurdities can make you commit atrocities. And 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:13.680 I've tried to explain, and James Lindsay's books and lectures 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:16.720 and stuff are wonderful about this. Cynical theories is a 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:19.119 great place to start, But try to explain to you 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:21.760 how like the transgender thing, the thing that bothers me 0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:23.679 the most about it. I hate women getting beat up 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.920 by men on the field of play, but the absurdity 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:29.720 of forcing you to say that man is a woman. 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:33.360 And I actually got a note from a very nice 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:35.280 lady the other day says Joe, why are you so 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:37.800 on about this? It reminds me of the AIDS crisis. 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:39.560 And you got to stop. No, no, no, no, you're 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:43.040 totally misunderstanding the problem here. The problem is the absurdity 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:46.879 being made to repeat, the absurdity being made to repeat 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:50.480 something you know that is not true. Otherwise you'll be 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:53.879 in trouble and they will hurt you. Okay, So here's 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:57.160 where we get to Christoph Schavinsky what the West still 0:19:57.200 --> 0:20:00.120 doesn't get. And I found this fascinating. I hope you 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:04.720 do too, that it's just so clear Communism's true core 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:07.520 is the systemic lie. Most people in the West think 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:11.320 they understand communism. They picture breadlines Gulag's failed five year 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:13.960 plans in the collapse of the Soviet Union. They treated 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:17.200 as a discredited economic theory, an experiment that proved that 0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:20.960 abolishing private property doesn't work. Case closed, history moved on. 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:25.840 This misunderstanding may be the most dangerous intellectual failure of 0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:32.840 our time. Communism was never primarily an economic system. Economics 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:36.359 was the surface. Beneath it lay something far more insidious, 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:41.520 a total, systemic, institutionalized commitment to lying, not occasional dishonesty, 0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:47.159 not spin or propaganda in the ordinary sense, something deeper. Civilism, 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:53.760 civilizational war against truth itself, wages through every institution, every classroom, 0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:58.479 every newspaper, every conversation, until reality itself became negotiable and 0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:01.600 the lie became the air people breathed. And then I 0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:04.160 found this part really really interesting. The words were miss 0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:08.719 missing the Polish language, which was forged by decades of 0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:13.080 living under the communist system produced words for this phenomenon 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:19.159 that we don't have in English. He mentions zaquemanya a 0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:24.359 state of total, pervasive, socially embedded falsehood, a condition in 0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:28.080 which an entire society is saturated and flies so thoroughly 0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:34.280 that truth becomes almost inaccessible. Poles all know that word 0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:40.600 because they lived through it. Zaquamanya. Then there's a woodha, 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:45.360 a deep performative hypocrisy, the gap between what is proclaimed 0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:48.920 and what is actually practiced, the mask worn so long 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:53.240 it begins to feel like a face. That is, for instance, 0:21:53.280 --> 0:22:00.080 your Soviet tractor factory person saying yeah, we produced to 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:05.840 one hundred tractors this month, and then his supervisor, getting 0:22:05.840 --> 0:22:09.280 the reports from ten different plants, says, yeah, we produced 0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:12.840 a thousand tractors this month. The tractors don't exist, they 0:22:12.880 --> 0:22:16.640 can't be found. But everybody checked the box. And that's 0:22:16.720 --> 0:22:20.639 a woudha, a deep performative hypocrisy, the gap between what 0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:24.199 is proclaimed and what is actually practiced, and everybody does it. 0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:28.040 These are not words for individual liars. They describe a system, 0:22:28.080 --> 0:22:30.520 he writes, a mode of social organization built on an 0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:34.760 organized mendacity, meaning dishonesty. Where the lie is not the exception, 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:38.520 but the foundation. English has no single word for either concept, 0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:41.480 and that linguistic gap is not a coincidence. It reflects 0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:44.560 a gap in experience. Cultures that did not live under 0:22:44.600 --> 0:22:47.639 communism lacked the vocabulary because they lack the wound, and 0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:50.560 because they lacked the vocabulary, they struggle to recognize the 0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:55.720 thing when it appears in new clothing. So here's the continuity. 0:22:54.960 --> 0:23:00.760 Here's how it flows communism, leftism, and wokeism. And here's 0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:04.200 where we get into why I'm so agitated about people 0:23:04.240 --> 0:23:06.720 trying to force me to say something I know to 0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:13.240 be untrue, christoff Wright. What we call wokeism today or 0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:15.800 the broader radical left is not a new phenomenon. It 0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:19.159 is the same operating system running on updated hardware. The 0:23:19.240 --> 0:23:23.640 specifics have changed. Instead of the proletariat, we have marginalized 0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:28.160 identity groups instead of bourgeois class enemies. We have racists 0:23:28.160 --> 0:23:32.840
