  Speaker 2: So in his Canter Freedom on Friday did a post
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: and he said, I've talked to my agents, We've looked
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: at the rules of the w n b A. I
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: am applying I'm making myself eligible for the w NBA's draft.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: He has played in the NBA for several different teams, uh,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: and has retired from the NBA, and he's now saying, look,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: as a retired NBA player, all I have to do
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: is just say that I identify as a female, and
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I'm now eligible to play in the w.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: N b A.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna right. And there's another player, a former
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: NBA player, another guy, Royce White, right, and he says, yeah,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the same thing, right, And what he
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: said was, I am temporarily identifying as a transgender.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: Woman only when he's playing basketball, And.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: It says I have the right as a transgender person
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: to temporarily identify as transgender.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Well, here's what you need about both of them. First,
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: of all, I think pretty much everybody knows that Enniscant
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: Freedom came in twenty eleven as a seventeen year old
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: boy or two thousand and nine, and then he became
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: an American citizen in twenty one and also changed his
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: last name to Freedom. That's how much it meant to
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: him to come to America.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Is that great?
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: It is incredible. He's a human rights activist. This is
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: not his first time to make a point.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Now, He's done a lot of so he's fought against
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: He's argued against the totalitarian state in Turkey, which is
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: how he got placed on an international arrest list because
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: he said, I don't think Erdigon is a good leader,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: and so the Turkey put out an international or restless form.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: So he doesn't really leave the country much anymore. And
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: he spoke out against sotalitarianism. He spoke out against the
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: lockdowns in COVID. He has spoken out against China.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: China.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: China was the one that I think kind of forced
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: him out of the NBA. I think he was forced out.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: I don't think he actually wanted to get out of
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: there because he was, you know, and he also had
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: hits on his head, like you were saying, so the
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: whole time that he is still standing up for human rights,
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: he knew that he had a target on his back.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Literally.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: And then Royce White is a Republican Senate senator candidate
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: in Michigan or Minnesota, one of those. Ye, he is
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: a conservative. And most people say, oh, they're just trolling.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Are They're just trying to make an issue. Yeah, they're
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: trying to make a point because in the rules section
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: article blah blah blah, section whatever, women can only play
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: in the w NBA, they did not try to specify
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: if they were born female, which is what they should
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: have done, because now they're in this predicament we are.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: You know, the left has a hard time, whether you're
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: trying to become a Supreme Justice or you're trying to
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: be voted in. On the left, they cannot define.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: What a woman is, which is crazy.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: It's crazy. But now now they have to because once
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: once Royce and Ennis came out and said, hey, I
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: want to I'm I'm going to give my talents to
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: the w NBA. The president of the w n B,
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: a Ingelbert or whatever, she had to have a task
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: for a meeting, a task force meeting to try to
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: determine what to do in this situation.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: And that's a that's what the brilliance of what cant
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Freedom has done. And by the way, I'd love to
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: see him playing in the n W n b A.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I would love. Yeah, I think all of us see him.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Try and take him down the way they took out
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: out Sophie Cunningham.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Try and take him. It's not going to happen. You're
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: going to go down.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: That's the thing, Stephen, everybody, we know, we know what's right.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: We know you should not have biological men playing with women.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: And it's not you're not transphobic to say it, because
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: like the coach that said the short said, trans children
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: belong or trans trans people belong in America, in their life,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: in their families, in their schools. These adult trans they belong. Yes,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: we're not saying they don't belong. We're not saying we
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: hate them.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: We're saying in sports.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: We're saying, if you are a biological male, you play
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: with men or get your own trans team. You know
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: we've said that before too, but it really boggles the
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: mind now what Ennis has done and what Royce has done.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: They have forced the w n B A to come
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: up with a definition of what a woman is. So
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: now they're in a predicament, right, because they've been saying,
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: yeah you can, you know, come on in, if you're
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: a transgender woman, you want to.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Play, you just say that you're you just see your trands,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: your trands.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's the point they were making. They're not
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: being cruel. They're trying to make a point. You have
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: to define what a woman is. Not that hard. It
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: only became hard like eight years ago for some reason,
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: right for the political reason, right for political reasons. This
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: will be so interesting to see how this shakes out.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: And either way, I think truth is going to win.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Either Campta's each Freedom's going to play in the WNBA
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: and dominate it, or the WNBA is going to have
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: to go this is women only.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: And so what will happen if they don't allow Royce
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: and Ennis to play? What will happen? And I wish
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: there was more than those two.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Actually there may be.
• 5:39
