Sean Hannity continues his examination of the escalating WNBA controversy as former NBA players and other biological men publicly declare themselves eligible for the 2027 WNBA draft. Comedian Adam Francisco joins the show to explain why he has also declared eligibility, arguing that the league must clearly define its rules regarding transgender participation in women’s basketball. Hannity discusses the severe foul against Sophie Cunningham, criticism of Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White and the league’s response to mounting questions about eligibility standards. The hour also features debate over Clay Travis’ offer of $10 million for a WNBA championship team to play a boys’ high school basketball team. Hannity closes by connecting the cultural debate to the approaching midterms and urging listeners to take the election seriously.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, news roundup in information Overload hour. Here's a
(00:02):
toll free number. It is eight hundred and nine four
one sean if you want to be a part of
the program. I guess the w NBA has learned nothing
from bud Light and the Dylan Olvaney disaster, and there
was a massive economic, you know, pushback on bud Light.
I don't think they've ever fully recovered because you go woke,
(00:25):
you go broke, and now you've got We've told you
last week about the situation. You know that the Indiana
fever that has Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham is now
under fire for nothing, no reason at all.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I do not know why that the league is.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Not addressed the never ending flagrant fouls against Caitlyn Clark.
I've watched games. I'm like, this is ridiculous. And I'm
not even a big basketball fan, to be very honest
with you, and either the NBA or the WNBA, but
I've been curious. I think that they are amazing players.
(01:06):
I think there's a lot of amazing players in the league,
and so you know, I've just tried to pay a
little bit of attention and here's this big controversy over
Sophie Cunningham because she stands up for girls in locker
rooms and girls and women's sports.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
You know, that has to.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Play a game I guess. I guess it was against
the Minnesota Lynx, and the coach of that team has
on you know, trans throw trans kids, you know shirt
at the same time, and the league doesn't address it.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
It's insane anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
So actually there was a game over the weekend and
it was Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham, who's been getting
booed by people and also cheers by people because she's
standing up for young women in sports. And she says,
this isn't about this is about standing up for the
right of young women to play, not to have to
(02:03):
compete against biological men.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
That's all it is.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
It's not that controversial, of my view, but apparently it is.
So she's going up for a layup. She's totally like,
it's a simple layup. He's not going to stop the
layup from going in, and she literally gets such a
flagrant foul by the Chicago sky player I think you say,
(02:29):
Djona Carrington, and Carrington just basically levels her with her
left arm. Boom you know, such a flagrant aggressive foul
that could have really hurt Sophie Cunningham. Now there have
been some people that said she shouldn't even be in
the league. You know, our friend Klay Travis thinks that
(02:50):
she should be suspended.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
At least for the year.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
And then you know this, this horrible flagrant foul on
a layup she got kick that out of the game.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
It's a flagrant two fouls what they call it.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
And anyway, then Cunningham appeared to ask, you know, what
the f and she was clobbered, she was bleeding out
of her mouth and you know, was assessed. You know,
this flagrant foul two, which is what they call it.
She's booted from the game and acting like she's so
shocked and why would you be shocked over that? I
don't think you should be shocked over that. So there's
(03:25):
been like a huge pushback to all of this. Now,
I would argue, you know, Caitlin Clark was such an
amazing phenom in terms of her shooting ability. You know
why other players have targeted her for flagrant fouls and
nothing's been done about it. She's good for the league,
and that means for every player in the league because
(03:45):
the people were coming as they have been to see
her play because she's such an amazing shooter ten feet
behind the three point range. You know, she cane shot
after shot after shot if she's on fire, say with Sophie.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Cunningham, both amazing players. You know, it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
I looked up Carrington's background, the one that smacked Sophie Cunningham,
and you know, after this, you know, fast break layup,
there was no way she was going to stop it.
So she just, you know, so aggressively ripped her nearly
ripped her neck off and her face off. It was unbelievable,
and you know, now people are wondering what the penalty
(04:24):
should be. Apparently Carrington comes from a very prosperous and
quote religious sports family. Her father was a pastor, mother
and active in the ministry, and she attended a private
Christian school going up. Her father was a standout safety
in the NFL, played too Super Bowls. And the reason
(04:45):
I bring all this up is because then after she's
kicked out of the game, she tweets out or puts
on X out white privilege, and I'm like, this isn't
about white privilege, is about your your foul against and
why did you clabber somebody and frankly risk injuring them
severely anyway, So it's absurd on so many different levels
(05:09):
now because the WNBA won't take a stand on the
issue that Sophie Cunningham is rightly brought up, and that
is protecting women's sports. Well, now it started with our
friend of this program who's been on this program many times,
and his Freedom, and it's it's actually pretty amazing what
he's doing in this He's now saying, okay, well, if
(05:32):
you're going to be woke, then I want to play,
I want to try out, I want to make myself
eligible to play in the WNBA.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And his Canter Freedom here's what he said.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Well, Sophie should officiel I just declared for the twenty
twenty seven WB draft in April, join me in.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
This hurt.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
The fantas cantor Freedom decided he's going to throw his
hat into the w A.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
WNBA does not ban men who identify as women right
now from playing in the line.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Would dominate the WNA without adding an eye.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Lench the number one product in the history BBA.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Now he's not the only one.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Then we had Royce White, former NBA player, and he's
now declaring he wants to be eligible to play in
the WNBA, and I just think this is brilliant. Now,
the guests we're going to be joined with in a minute,
Adam Francisco declared eligibility also for the WNBA draft, and
here's what he said.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Hey guys, it's Adam Francisco, and I just wanted to
say that I am so proud of Eni's freedom, being
his true, authentic self and declaring his eligibility for the WNBA.
I wanted to piggyback off of his announcement, and I
also wanted to declare myself eligible for the upcoming w
NBA draft. If self identification is the only eligibility requirement,
(06:47):
well then I guess I'm eligible too. And no, I
don't plan on making any physical changes, no surgeries, no hormones.
I'm not even going to change my name or my pronouns.
But according to progressive rules, none of that is required
to affirm my identity. I might be forty three years old,
and I might be recovering from a kidney transplant, but
(07:07):
after watching some recent highlights of Angel Reese, I am
confident that I can contribute to a WNBA team, both
on the court as well as in the locker room.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Anyway, Adam Francisco joins US now and anyway, they announced
the league as holding meetings to redefine what a woman is.
After all, these NBA players reveal plans to join anyway,
Adam Francisco, America's first comedian, now a free agent apparently
for the WNBA, joins US.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
How are you, sir, Hey Sawn, thanks for having me?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
All right? Well, you a good basketball player like Dennis?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
I was pretty good in my twenties and thirties. I'm
only five to ten, but I was able to dunk
a basketball. I boasted a thirty nine inch vertical.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
No way, I'm six feet tall. I can't get anywhere
near dunking of basketball.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Well, I can't dunk a basketball anymore. But again, after
watching Angel Reese highlight which we should probably call low lights,
I really do feel like I could contribute to the
league in a meaningful way.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
You know, this is going to be fascinating to watch
how this plays out. You know, my friend Klay Travis
actually offered ten million dollars to last year's WNBA championship team.
From Vegas if they would play a single game against
high school boys of his choice, a high school basketball
(08:26):
team of his choice, and amazing, nobody's nobody that has
gotten back to him or wants to take up the
offer for ten million dollars.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Yeah, that's crazy. But you know the reality is men
and women, we have a distinct biological in any differences, right,
that's just innate biological reality. And so I really do
think that if they were to play a high school
team of Klay Travis's choosing, I would put my money
on the high school team beating the WNBA World champions.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Well.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I interviewed Travis on this last week. He's I said,
how confident are you that this is gonna that these
guys that the boys team would win? He goes, Sean,
it's a slam dunk to use a basketball.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Now, he goes, there's no way they'll lose, No way?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Is that? And exactly?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
All right? So look, you're a comedian.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I don't think you're really serious about trying, and you
don't really think you're going to get drafted, do you know?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
I do think ultimately this is a pressure tactic that
we need to put onto the WNBA to kind of
push them into a position to decide and define what
is a woman, which apparently they're doing right now. Now.
The bottom line is, I would actually pursue joining the
WNBA just to prove the point. If they do not
define it, then what's to stop me Enis or Royce
(09:41):
White from declaring herself a woman and trying to join
the league. Nothing. So they really need to define this
and put an end to this so we could protect
women's sports. You now, Sean, I don't have a child yet,
but I do hopefully want to have a daughter one day,
and I'm fighting for this now so that when I
have a daughter, this is all settled when she wants
to comped in sports one day. I don't want her
(10:02):
to have to worry about the man changing in her
locker room or being in the same bathroom as her.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
You know, I've interviewed Riley Gains many many times, and
she talked about just how horrible that has been. Now
in the case of Carrington, who committed this flagrant foul
and got kicked out of the game, I think it
was pretty dangerous.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
What's what.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
A couple of things happened as a result of this,
the Fever coach, that is Sophie Cunningham's coach, actually defended
Carrington after this totally flagrant foul. If I'm Sophie Cunningham,
I'm saying I'm out of here. I want to put
myself up, you know, to to move to a team
(10:41):
that would support me, you know. And I really felt
disappointed when when Caitlin Clark was asked about it, you know,
she didn't stand by her teammate. Now our coach is
not standing by her own, her own player. I'm like,
this is this is nuts.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Yeah, there's been a lot of calls for the coach
of the Fever to be fired. At the end of
the day, the coach is supposed to put their team
and their players first and to stand with Djene and
not Sophie when that was such a brutal on you know,
brutal attack. That was very shocking to me.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
All right, quick, freak, We'll continue more with Adam Francisco,
who is now making himself eligible for the w NBA
draft along with Ennis Kantor Freedom and other now biological
men are saying they identify as women and they want
to play in the w NBA. How will they react
to this more on the other side than your calls
(11:34):
coming up eight hundred nine to four to one, Sean
if you want to be a part of the program
(11:57):
right off final moments, Adam Francis, this goes with us
see along with nis kantor Freedom and others now biological
men applying to play and be eligible for the draft
and the WNBA.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
You know so.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
The WNBA Commissioner sent a letter to all the teams
on Friday addressing the concerns about the inclusion of transgender
athletes in the league and anyway, I know many of
you have received questions in recent weeks regarding transgender athlete
participation in women's basketball. I expect this topic will continue
to receive significant attention, and I wanted to reach out
(12:34):
to share that we are approaching these conversations at the
league office and to thank those of you who have
responded to questions from the media with thoughtfulness and professionalism.
We recognize this as a complex and nuanced topic, and
we will continue to have important conversations with all of
you and the players' Association in the weeks and months ahead.
(12:56):
We also plan to convene additional discussions or listening sessions
for any team leaders who would like to participate, and
your perspective and feedback is invaluable. I appreciate those who
have already you know, reached out to share their thoughts.
And then she goes on this big, big lecture you
know on social media. The WNBA players Association that emphasize
(13:21):
diversity and inclusion, and while saying the group will not
be used as political pawns. So what is that their
preparation to say no? For the quote values they say
they stand for, we embrace just as equity, diversity, inclusion.
Those are the values that unite this union and allow
it to protect women's sports like creating transformational change, hate abuse,
(13:44):
demonization of any person group of people transgender only fuel
feared division and harm. It sounds like they may you
might be eligible.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Yeah, it sounds like I might be. And I do
want to point out that using the word inclusion to
describe professional sports doesn't make any sense. As a matter
of fact, sports is the opposite of inclusion. It is
supposed to be a pure meritocracy based league. If you
were not good enough, you were not eligible to be
part of the league. And in the case of a
Women's League. If you are a male like myself, like you, Sean,
(14:14):
like Enis, like Royce, we should not be eligible to
join the NBA. But until they define it as xx
chromosomes or an adult female, they've opened themselves up to
this backlash.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
To me, it's kind of entertaining at this point. If
it wasn't so serious, if it wasn't so ludicrous. You know,
there are certain undeniable truths in life. One is, generally speaking,
biological men are stronger than women. Is that that hard?
And there aren't six genders like tall? Rico says, there
are two exactly.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
And I do want to let you know Sean, that
I saw Royce White has received his wig in the mail.
My male is my wig is actually coming tomorrow. And
so for your listeners, if they stay tuned to my
social media platforms, they'll see practicing in the gym starting
tomorrow as a trans woman preparing for the WNBA.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
All right, well, we appreciate you sharing it, and we
wish you a lot of luck if you and hoping
that your dream comes true. Adam Adam Francisco anyway now
wants to be eligible for the draft of the WNBA
eight hundred nine four one. Sean is our number, Linda,
should I make myself eligible?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
What do you think? And we'll talk about that on
the other side.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
That I'm gonna call you Shanina?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
All right? Are you done?
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Never? All right?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
All right?
Speaker 1 (15:31):
So I want to stand on this WNBA issue just
for a second here, or you can talk about anything
that's on your mind. But you know, here's Royce White.
He was a great NBA player. Now, Jason's a bigger
NBA fan than I am. So's Katie and Linda. You
don't know the name of anybody in the NBA right
probably how many people do you know? I know no
one in the NBA or WNBA. You know Caitlin Clark
(15:53):
is I know a few, Sophie Benningham.
Speaker 8 (15:55):
I know who they are because of the news, but
I don't know them because of basketball.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (16:00):
Like if I know James po right because I hate him?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Is there any of the three names I mentioned that.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
I don't like Caitlyn Clark. I think she's an idiot,
and I don't like Lebron James.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Sophie's got an idiot.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
I mean, she is an idiot. She had an opportunity
to stand up, and she sat down, and she was
weak and she was feckless, and it's an embarrassment in
my opinion.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Well, I think even more embarrassing is Stephanie White, the
coach of the Indiana Fever. Now on the Fever, you
have you know Caitlin and you have Sophie Cunningham who
made these these statements standing up for girls in women's sports,
and the coach didn't support her.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Neither did Caitlyn Clark.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
She didn't want any part of it, and that to
me is disappointing for Sophie. Sophie to me, gets the
gold medal for being brave and I don't even think
it should be an issue that's even controversial, But she
did it, and she is you know, got slammed with
this flagrant foul because of it, and you know, the
silent so people unfortunately has been deafening.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Caitlin Clark has been dealing with this nonsense since the
day she got into the league, these flagrant fouls, and
they even continue to this day. But then the coach
is asked about the flagrant foul, wouldn't even stand up
for her own player and you know, has no answer
on the issue of of men playing in the w
(17:23):
n B. A.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Listen, one of the things.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
About Nay is this, She's gonna play her butt off.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Man, She's gonna compete.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Nobody's gonna go walking in for a layup. And so
I'm not I don't oppose the hard foul, but I
also don't think that she intentionally went with a name.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
What is your stance on men are athletes who tests
as biological male participating in women's sports?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
What's your personal stance?
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Yeah, I mean, I'm I don't know that I would
say that I'm educated enough from a scientific standpoint. I
don't ever believe that exclusion is an answer.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I just don't.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
I do think, you know, when we think about various
levels of sport, various governing bodies of sport, and things
that go into that. Like I said, I'm not educated enough.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
At the different levels.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
I know growing up I played with the boys all
the time.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
So girl sports, would you welcome a biological mail in WNBA?
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Again, It's like, I don't know when we talk about
biological mail and scientifically where we are, I think it's
a totally different scenario.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I'm sorry you don't stand up for If you don't
see that as a flagrant, horrible foul that could injure
your star player, one of your star players, then there's
no hope for you.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
I would not want to play for that coach.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
And if Sophie Cunningham has to be traded, I think
she should have every right to be traded to a
coach who will support her. It's unbelievable. Now, Royce White, anyway,
he made it to the NBA. So now he's declaring
himself eligible for the WNBA draft for next year. Okay,
but the bottom line is I would imagine, based on
(18:59):
his ability to play in his physicality biologically speaking, that
he probably could do pretty well in the w NBA,
don't you think.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Look, well, all right, let's use another example. How about
Ennis kantor Freedom six foot eleven.
Speaker 9 (19:15):
And played in the league. Yeah, he would, he would dominate.
I just I look. The WNBA commissioner is awful.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
She should be She should.
Speaker 9 (19:24):
Be fired, if not immediately at the end of the season,
because she cannot get control of anything in her league.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
And with this thing, can't the Players Association leader can't.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Nobody, Nobody wants to dare deal with this. They're scared
to death.
Speaker 9 (19:39):
Well, well, somebody's gonna have to deal with it, because
this whole clown show is going to go on until
they do deal with it. So she either has to
come up with an absolute where were there absolutely no
trans players that are allowed in the league, or you
know what, they take a vote and decide, you know what,
if they want to have a trans player like this,
this person from France, if they want this person to play,
(20:01):
because there are players in the league that want this,
let them have it. Let him, let him have it.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
And kat.
Speaker 10 (20:09):
I one hundred agree with him.
Speaker 7 (20:11):
It's just getting too ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
You know.
Speaker 10 (20:13):
The women's game is already more physical. I would say,
just you know, they get away with a lot and
sometimes you just have to nip it in the button
say okay, enough is enough. The stars in the NBA,
you know, there's a reason why, you know, they get
to the free throw line all the time. You know,
people like uh Shae Gilders Alexander gets to the to
(20:34):
the free throw line and gets called a free throw merchant.
But it's because he's a star. He's the MVP, and
he deserves that respect. And you have to have it
in the w NBA as well, and she just does
not have control over the league and they're just running
over everyone and it needs to side.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
If I own the w NBA team and Enniscan the
Freedom wanted to play and the league's gonna let biological
men play, I would I would want him on my
team team immediately, and any other you know, former NBA
star that wanted to be eligible, I put them on
the team immediately because they will win it all. It's
the fact that they won't take Clay Travis up on
(21:11):
his offer for ten million dollars to let the boys
high school team of his choice play last year's champions Vegas.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Is it speaks volume.
Speaker 9 (21:21):
Yeah, see that, That's where I'm gonna I'm gonna go
against you on that one. Why in the hell would
you ever if you're the women's basketball team, why would
you do this?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
What what advantage? Ten million? I have ten million reasons?
Speaker 9 (21:32):
Oh yeah, that's that's not good enough, Bud, because if
you don't.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Want what do you want twenty million?
Speaker 6 (21:38):
No?
Speaker 9 (21:38):
No, no, no, no, no no no no.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
The point No, Clay is making a point.
Speaker 9 (21:43):
Oh I know he told that he's making I don't
like how he's making it. Why not, Sean, If that
women's team loses to that, to that high school boys team,
how does that help the league? You're not helping advance
the cause of women's embarrassing them.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
But the league is suggesting that there's no difference if
some male identifies as a woman. Aren't they kind of
open to the idea that biological men can play in
the w F.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I know that's being made if you are at the point.
Speaker 9 (22:17):
If you are, if you are that women's team, there
is nothing in it for you other than the money.
There's only embarrassment. If you don't win that game convincingly
from start to finish, then then it's a tremendous It's
it's almost as bad as as allowing a transplayer in.
You're doing just as much damage.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I would be so negligent if I did not get
Linda's opinion on this.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
I know you're not the biggest sports person.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
However, I know I think this is great what Ennis
cantor Freedom is doing, and these other people are doing,
and what what what Klay Travis is doing. I love
it because they have dug themselves a whole politically, so deep.
I don't think they know how to get out of it.
I'm enjoying watching them struggle.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
I think it's I think these people deserve every bit
of pain they get. And I think if there are
women on the team who oppose going up against a
high school boys team, or oppose transgenders on their team,
they should choose the moment, which is right now to
speak up.
Speaker 7 (23:22):
If you think that everybody's equal.
Speaker 8 (23:24):
And we're all the same, and our bodies are all
the same and everybody is the same, fine, have at it.
But if you are a person who actually believes in
biology and that we are all created differently, and that
there are subsets of people that have similar things like
men and women.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Why does tell Ico think there's six genders? And championing
the rights of men to play women howe go, well,
hang on one more thing, and also championing the right
of biological men to have access to abortion services.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
Right because they sigh up right now. For example, I'll
give you a perf analogy. Six years ago, if you
said that taking the second COVID shot could potentially have
you lose your child in the first trimester, you would
have been laughed, You would have been yelled at, you
would have been called a tinfoil hat. Today it is
national news. It's on every major network, everybody's talk.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Fox has been covering it all day and all that
that is now that five years from first trimester, if
you get the second shot, they said, could.
Speaker 7 (24:24):
Have killed your baby, and he knew it, and he
knew it.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
So it's not just that.
Speaker 8 (24:28):
It so people who say we got to drop the
fauci stuff, it doesn't matter. Nobody cares. Let me tell you,
people care. You murdered their family, you murdered the unborn children.
We care a lot. But put that to the side
for a woman, so fastward. Five years from now, are
we going to have a whole group of people saying
I cannot believe all those people trying to let dudes
(24:48):
play with women in the w NBA and do all
that horrible stuff. But see the problem is right now,
everybody's afraid, like Stephanie White is afraid to say the truth,
which is, yes, I think it's weird for as six
foot eleven inch man to play in the women's league,
but because of our bylaws, we were trapped.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
Well, you know what, you made your bed sleep in
and get cozy.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
If I was Sophie Cunningham and my coach didn't stand
up for me, which was the most flagrant foul ever.
Speaker 7 (25:20):
Incredible.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Absolutely, I would demand.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I would walk up to the owner of the Indiana
Fever and I'd say, trade me now, I'm out.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
That's it. I want out. I'm not going to play
for you.
Speaker 7 (25:32):
For Sophie Cunningham is she's doing the right thing.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
Sophie Cunningham is speaking up.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
And if your coach stabs you in the back like that,
no way.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
If what the problem is, no one's going to pick
her up. Do you know why?
Speaker 8 (25:45):
Because they're all feckless if you look at these coaches.
Sage Steele said it on Friday, and I thought she
said it very well, and it was one of her
stronger points in that interview, which was she was in,
you know, this league of women in sports for thirty
years of her career. She was friends with a lot
of these coaches. She cannot believe how ridiculous it's become
(26:05):
to the point that they're unable to just state what's obvious,
which is that dudes or dudes, women are women and
they shouldn't be in the same thing. Now, I will say,
if trans people want to play that bad in a
professional league. Get some funding and start your own have
at it, knock yourselves out.
Speaker 7 (26:20):
Do whatever you want.
Speaker 8 (26:21):
But if you can't figure out if you're a girl
or a guy and nobody else can either, well then
make your own league.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
This is the I don't know league. We're all going
to play here.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Good luck.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
That's going to be amazing to watch. To our busy
phones we go.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Let's say hi to Duke in California where they have
a absentee no show governor communist Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
What's going on, Duke Carr?
Speaker 5 (26:45):
You, mister Hannity, thank you for taking my call. I
am a honorably discharged Vietnam era Marine Corps veteran, and
my first day in the military. You're still in your
civilian clothes. You raise your right hand and make a pledge,
A lifelong pledge. I do solemnly swear to defend the
Constitution in the United States against all foreign and domestic
(27:08):
enemies up into giving my life. So help me God.
I took it serious. Then I take it serious today
and when I see this crazy that's going on now,
it's a direct assault. Newsom. I mean, what can you
say about Newsom that everybody doesn't know he's a scumbag,
he's a communist. And the thing that really makes me
(27:30):
crazy is in World War One, we fought Germany, a
socialist fascist country. We lost one hundred and sixteen thousand
troops in that conflict. World War Two, we fought Germany
again in Japan. Germany a socialist fascist, evil country at
the time, we lost four hundred and seven thousand plus.
(27:52):
Now Korea we lost thirty three thousand fighting communism. Vietnam
we lost fifty eight thousand, four hundred sixty eight.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
By the way, you're not you're not even talking about
the Holocaust. You're not talking about you know, in the
last century, one hundred million souls dead. I mean yeah,
and America has led the way fighting for freedom. And
I know what you're gonna say, And now we're going
to give it away to communists?
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Is that what you're gonna say?
Speaker 5 (28:16):
We are giving it away?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
I mean no, we have.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
An election to stop it, and we have an election
in eighty five days to stop it. I'll tell you
you are making a brilliant point, I hope. And I'm
only out of time. I'm only I'm only going to
say goodbye because I'm out of time. But I'm telling you,
I hope everybody listens to Duke, a marine veteran, simpify
because he is dead on right. Too much blood and
(28:42):
death has taken has happened in defense of freedom, and
that's against communism, statism, totalitarianism, and we better stop it
right here, dead in its tracks. It can happen here,
believe it. Eight all right, we have WNBA, we have
well Democratic Communists of America madness. We have an electorate that,
(29:07):
unfortunately I think is half asleep right now. You need
to wake up, and you need to do it before
Labor Day. This election is that important. Please please tell
every one of your friends, your family, your coworkers, anybody
you run into. I mean, there's so much at stake
in this November midterm election. Anyway, we'll load it up.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Tonight.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
We have Dan Bongino, oh, our favorite Senator John Kennedy. Tonight,
Caroline Levitt. We got Oliver Larkin, the DSA candidate from Florida.
We had him on the radio last week. This guy's,
you know, got very interesting views. Breonna Lyman will be
hitting the streets for us a much much more just
say you DBR tonight Hannity nine Eastern on Fox. We'll
(29:48):
see you tonight. Back here tomorrow. Thank you for making
this show possible.
All right, news roundup in information Overload hour. Here's a
(00:02):
toll free number. It is eight hundred and nine four
one sean if you want to be a part of
the program. I guess the w NBA has learned nothing
from bud Light and the Dylan Olvaney disaster, and there
was a massive economic, you know, pushback on bud Light.
I don't think they've ever fully recovered because you go woke,
(00:25):
you go broke, and now you've got We've told you
last week about the situation. You know that the Indiana
fever that has Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham is now
under fire for nothing, no reason at all.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I do not know why that the league is.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Not addressed the never ending flagrant fouls against Caitlyn Clark.
I've watched games. I'm like, this is ridiculous. And I'm
not even a big basketball fan, to be very honest
with you, and either the NBA or the WNBA, but
I've been curious. I think that they are amazing players.
(01:06):
I think there's a lot of amazing players in the league,
and so you know, I've just tried to pay a
little bit of attention and here's this big controversy over
Sophie Cunningham because she stands up for girls in locker
rooms and girls and women's sports.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
You know, that has to.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Play a game I guess. I guess it was against
the Minnesota Lynx, and the coach of that team has
on you know, trans throw trans kids, you know shirt
at the same time, and the league doesn't address it.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
It's insane anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
So actually there was a game over the weekend and
it was Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham, who's been getting
booed by people and also cheers by people because she's
standing up for young women in sports. And she says,
this isn't about this is about standing up for the
right of young women to play, not to have to
(02:03):
compete against biological men.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
That's all it is.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
It's not that controversial, of my view, but apparently it is.
So she's going up for a layup. She's totally like,
it's a simple layup. He's not going to stop the
layup from going in, and she literally gets such a
flagrant foul by the Chicago sky player I think you say,
(02:29):
Djona Carrington, and Carrington just basically levels her with her
left arm. Boom you know, such a flagrant aggressive foul
that could have really hurt Sophie Cunningham. Now there have
been some people that said she shouldn't even be in
the league. You know, our friend Klay Travis thinks that
(02:50):
she should be suspended.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
At least for the year.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
And then you know this, this horrible flagrant foul on
a layup she got kick that out of the game.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
It's a flagrant two fouls what they call it.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
And anyway, then Cunningham appeared to ask, you know, what
the f and she was clobbered, she was bleeding out
of her mouth and you know, was assessed. You know,
this flagrant foul two, which is what they call it.
She's booted from the game and acting like she's so
shocked and why would you be shocked over that? I
don't think you should be shocked over that. So there's
(03:25):
been like a huge pushback to all of this. Now,
I would argue, you know, Caitlin Clark was such an
amazing phenom in terms of her shooting ability. You know
why other players have targeted her for flagrant fouls and
nothing's been done about it. She's good for the league,
and that means for every player in the league because
(03:45):
the people were coming as they have been to see
her play because she's such an amazing shooter ten feet
behind the three point range. You know, she cane shot
after shot after shot if she's on fire, say with Sophie.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Cunningham, both amazing players. You know, it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
I looked up Carrington's background, the one that smacked Sophie Cunningham,
and you know, after this, you know, fast break layup,
there was no way she was going to stop it.
So she just, you know, so aggressively ripped her nearly
ripped her neck off and her face off. It was unbelievable,
and you know, now people are wondering what the penalty
(04:24):
should be. Apparently Carrington comes from a very prosperous and
quote religious sports family. Her father was a pastor, mother
and active in the ministry, and she attended a private
Christian school going up. Her father was a standout safety
in the NFL, played too Super Bowls. And the reason
(04:45):
I bring all this up is because then after she's
kicked out of the game, she tweets out or puts
on X out white privilege, and I'm like, this isn't
about white privilege, is about your your foul against and
why did you clabber somebody and frankly risk injuring them
severely anyway, So it's absurd on so many different levels
(05:09):
now because the WNBA won't take a stand on the
issue that Sophie Cunningham is rightly brought up, and that
is protecting women's sports. Well, now it started with our
friend of this program who's been on this program many times,
and his Freedom, and it's it's actually pretty amazing what
he's doing in this He's now saying, okay, well, if
(05:32):
you're going to be woke, then I want to play,
I want to try out, I want to make myself
eligible to play in the WNBA.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And his Canter Freedom here's what he said.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Well, Sophie should officiel I just declared for the twenty
twenty seven WB draft in April, join me in.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
This hurt.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
The fantas cantor Freedom decided he's going to throw his
hat into the w A.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
WNBA does not ban men who identify as women right
now from playing in the line.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Would dominate the WNA without adding an eye.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Lench the number one product in the history BBA.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Now he's not the only one.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Then we had Royce White, former NBA player, and he's
now declaring he wants to be eligible to play in
the WNBA, and I just think this is brilliant. Now,
the guests we're going to be joined with in a minute,
Adam Francisco declared eligibility also for the WNBA draft, and
here's what he said.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Hey guys, it's Adam Francisco, and I just wanted to
say that I am so proud of Eni's freedom, being
his true, authentic self and declaring his eligibility for the WNBA.
I wanted to piggyback off of his announcement, and I
also wanted to declare myself eligible for the upcoming w
NBA draft. If self identification is the only eligibility requirement,
(06:47):
well then I guess I'm eligible too. And no, I
don't plan on making any physical changes, no surgeries, no hormones.
I'm not even going to change my name or my pronouns.
But according to progressive rules, none of that is required
to affirm my identity. I might be forty three years old,
and I might be recovering from a kidney transplant, but
(07:07):
after watching some recent highlights of Angel Reese, I am
confident that I can contribute to a WNBA team, both
on the court as well as in the locker room.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Anyway, Adam Francisco joins US now and anyway, they announced
the league as holding meetings to redefine what a woman is.
After all, these NBA players reveal plans to join anyway,
Adam Francisco, America's first comedian, now a free agent apparently
for the WNBA, joins US.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
How are you, sir, Hey Sawn, thanks for having me?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
All right? Well, you a good basketball player like Dennis?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
I was pretty good in my twenties and thirties. I'm
only five to ten, but I was able to dunk
a basketball. I boasted a thirty nine inch vertical.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
No way, I'm six feet tall. I can't get anywhere
near dunking of basketball.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Well, I can't dunk a basketball anymore. But again, after
watching Angel Reese highlight which we should probably call low lights,
I really do feel like I could contribute to the
league in a meaningful way.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
You know, this is going to be fascinating to watch
how this plays out. You know, my friend Klay Travis
actually offered ten million dollars to last year's WNBA championship team.
From Vegas if they would play a single game against
high school boys of his choice, a high school basketball
(08:26):
team of his choice, and amazing, nobody's nobody that has
gotten back to him or wants to take up the
offer for ten million dollars.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Yeah, that's crazy. But you know the reality is men
and women, we have a distinct biological in any differences, right,
that's just innate biological reality. And so I really do
think that if they were to play a high school
team of Klay Travis's choosing, I would put my money
on the high school team beating the WNBA World champions.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Well.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I interviewed Travis on this last week. He's I said,
how confident are you that this is gonna that these
guys that the boys team would win? He goes, Sean,
it's a slam dunk to use a basketball.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Now, he goes, there's no way they'll lose, No way?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Is that? And exactly?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
All right? So look, you're a comedian.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I don't think you're really serious about trying, and you
don't really think you're going to get drafted, do you know?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
I do think ultimately this is a pressure tactic that
we need to put onto the WNBA to kind of
push them into a position to decide and define what
is a woman, which apparently they're doing right now. Now.
The bottom line is, I would actually pursue joining the
WNBA just to prove the point. If they do not
define it, then what's to stop me Enis or Royce
(09:41):
White from declaring herself a woman and trying to join
the league. Nothing. So they really need to define this
and put an end to this so we could protect
women's sports. You now, Sean, I don't have a child yet,
but I do hopefully want to have a daughter one day,
and I'm fighting for this now so that when I
have a daughter, this is all settled when she wants
to comped in sports one day. I don't want her
(10:02):
to have to worry about the man changing in her
locker room or being in the same bathroom as her.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
You know, I've interviewed Riley Gains many many times, and
she talked about just how horrible that has been. Now
in the case of Carrington, who committed this flagrant foul
and got kicked out of the game, I think it
was pretty dangerous.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
What's what.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
A couple of things happened as a result of this,
the Fever coach, that is Sophie Cunningham's coach, actually defended
Carrington after this totally flagrant foul. If I'm Sophie Cunningham,
I'm saying I'm out of here. I want to put
myself up, you know, to to move to a team
(10:41):
that would support me, you know. And I really felt
disappointed when when Caitlin Clark was asked about it, you know,
she didn't stand by her teammate. Now our coach is
not standing by her own, her own player. I'm like,
this is this is nuts.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Yeah, there's been a lot of calls for the coach
of the Fever to be fired. At the end of
the day, the coach is supposed to put their team
and their players first and to stand with Djene and
not Sophie when that was such a brutal on you know,
brutal attack. That was very shocking to me.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
All right, quick, freak, We'll continue more with Adam Francisco,
who is now making himself eligible for the w NBA
draft along with Ennis Kantor Freedom and other now biological
men are saying they identify as women and they want
to play in the w NBA. How will they react
to this more on the other side than your calls
(11:34):
coming up eight hundred nine to four to one, Sean
if you want to be a part of the program
(11:57):
right off final moments, Adam Francis, this goes with us
see along with nis kantor Freedom and others now biological
men applying to play and be eligible for the draft
and the WNBA.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
You know so.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
The WNBA Commissioner sent a letter to all the teams
on Friday addressing the concerns about the inclusion of transgender
athletes in the league and anyway, I know many of
you have received questions in recent weeks regarding transgender athlete
participation in women's basketball. I expect this topic will continue
to receive significant attention, and I wanted to reach out
(12:34):
to share that we are approaching these conversations at the
league office and to thank those of you who have
responded to questions from the media with thoughtfulness and professionalism.
We recognize this as a complex and nuanced topic, and
we will continue to have important conversations with all of
you and the players' Association in the weeks and months ahead.
(12:56):
We also plan to convene additional discussions or listening sessions
for any team leaders who would like to participate, and
your perspective and feedback is invaluable. I appreciate those who
have already you know, reached out to share their thoughts.
And then she goes on this big, big lecture you
know on social media. The WNBA players Association that emphasize
(13:21):
diversity and inclusion, and while saying the group will not
be used as political pawns. So what is that their
preparation to say no? For the quote values they say
they stand for, we embrace just as equity, diversity, inclusion.
Those are the values that unite this union and allow
it to protect women's sports like creating transformational change, hate abuse,
(13:44):
demonization of any person group of people transgender only fuel
feared division and harm. It sounds like they may you
might be eligible.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Yeah, it sounds like I might be. And I do
want to point out that using the word inclusion to
describe professional sports doesn't make any sense. As a matter
of fact, sports is the opposite of inclusion. It is
supposed to be a pure meritocracy based league. If you
were not good enough, you were not eligible to be
part of the league. And in the case of a
Women's League. If you are a male like myself, like you, Sean,
(14:14):
like Enis, like Royce, we should not be eligible to
join the NBA. But until they define it as xx
chromosomes or an adult female, they've opened themselves up to
this backlash.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
To me, it's kind of entertaining at this point. If
it wasn't so serious, if it wasn't so ludicrous. You know,
there are certain undeniable truths in life. One is, generally speaking,
biological men are stronger than women. Is that that hard?
And there aren't six genders like tall? Rico says, there
are two exactly.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
And I do want to let you know Sean, that
I saw Royce White has received his wig in the mail.
My male is my wig is actually coming tomorrow. And
so for your listeners, if they stay tuned to my
social media platforms, they'll see practicing in the gym starting
tomorrow as a trans woman preparing for the WNBA.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
All right, well, we appreciate you sharing it, and we
wish you a lot of luck if you and hoping
that your dream comes true. Adam Adam Francisco anyway now
wants to be eligible for the draft of the WNBA
eight hundred nine four one. Sean is our number, Linda,
should I make myself eligible?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
What do you think? And we'll talk about that on
the other side.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
That I'm gonna call you Shanina?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
All right? Are you done?
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Never? All right?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
All right?
Speaker 1 (15:31):
So I want to stand on this WNBA issue just
for a second here, or you can talk about anything
that's on your mind. But you know, here's Royce White.
He was a great NBA player. Now, Jason's a bigger
NBA fan than I am. So's Katie and Linda. You
don't know the name of anybody in the NBA right
probably how many people do you know? I know no
one in the NBA or WNBA. You know Caitlin Clark
(15:53):
is I know a few, Sophie Benningham.
Speaker 8 (15:55):
I know who they are because of the news, but
I don't know them because of basketball.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (16:00):
Like if I know James po right because I hate him?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Is there any of the three names I mentioned that.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
I don't like Caitlyn Clark. I think she's an idiot,
and I don't like Lebron James.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Sophie's got an idiot.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
I mean, she is an idiot. She had an opportunity
to stand up, and she sat down, and she was
weak and she was feckless, and it's an embarrassment in
my opinion.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Well, I think even more embarrassing is Stephanie White, the
coach of the Indiana Fever. Now on the Fever, you
have you know Caitlin and you have Sophie Cunningham who
made these these statements standing up for girls in women's sports,
and the coach didn't support her.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Neither did Caitlyn Clark.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
She didn't want any part of it, and that to
me is disappointing for Sophie. Sophie to me, gets the
gold medal for being brave and I don't even think
it should be an issue that's even controversial, But she
did it, and she is you know, got slammed with
this flagrant foul because of it, and you know, the
silent so people unfortunately has been deafening.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Caitlin Clark has been dealing with this nonsense since the
day she got into the league, these flagrant fouls, and
they even continue to this day. But then the coach
is asked about the flagrant foul, wouldn't even stand up
for her own player and you know, has no answer
on the issue of of men playing in the w
(17:23):
n B. A.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Listen, one of the things.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
About Nay is this, She's gonna play her butt off.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Man, She's gonna compete.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Nobody's gonna go walking in for a layup. And so
I'm not I don't oppose the hard foul, but I
also don't think that she intentionally went with a name.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
What is your stance on men are athletes who tests
as biological male participating in women's sports?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
What's your personal stance?
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Yeah, I mean, I'm I don't know that I would
say that I'm educated enough from a scientific standpoint. I
don't ever believe that exclusion is an answer.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I just don't.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
I do think, you know, when we think about various
levels of sport, various governing bodies of sport, and things
that go into that. Like I said, I'm not educated enough.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
At the different levels.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
I know growing up I played with the boys all
the time.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
So girl sports, would you welcome a biological mail in WNBA?
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Again, It's like, I don't know when we talk about
biological mail and scientifically where we are, I think it's
a totally different scenario.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I'm sorry you don't stand up for If you don't
see that as a flagrant, horrible foul that could injure
your star player, one of your star players, then there's
no hope for you.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
I would not want to play for that coach.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
And if Sophie Cunningham has to be traded, I think
she should have every right to be traded to a
coach who will support her. It's unbelievable. Now, Royce White, anyway,
he made it to the NBA. So now he's declaring
himself eligible for the WNBA draft for next year. Okay,
but the bottom line is I would imagine, based on
(18:59):
his ability to play in his physicality biologically speaking, that
he probably could do pretty well in the w NBA,
don't you think.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Look, well, all right, let's use another example. How about
Ennis kantor Freedom six foot eleven.
Speaker 9 (19:15):
And played in the league. Yeah, he would, he would dominate.
I just I look. The WNBA commissioner is awful.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
She should be She should.
Speaker 9 (19:24):
Be fired, if not immediately at the end of the season,
because she cannot get control of anything in her league.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
And with this thing, can't the Players Association leader can't.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Nobody, Nobody wants to dare deal with this. They're scared
to death.
Speaker 9 (19:39):
Well, well, somebody's gonna have to deal with it, because
this whole clown show is going to go on until
they do deal with it. So she either has to
come up with an absolute where were there absolutely no
trans players that are allowed in the league, or you
know what, they take a vote and decide, you know what,
if they want to have a trans player like this,
this person from France, if they want this person to play,
(20:01):
because there are players in the league that want this,
let them have it. Let him, let him have it.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
And kat.
Speaker 10 (20:09):
I one hundred agree with him.
Speaker 7 (20:11):
It's just getting too ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
You know.
Speaker 10 (20:13):
The women's game is already more physical. I would say,
just you know, they get away with a lot and
sometimes you just have to nip it in the button
say okay, enough is enough. The stars in the NBA,
you know, there's a reason why, you know, they get
to the free throw line all the time. You know,
people like uh Shae Gilders Alexander gets to the to
(20:34):
the free throw line and gets called a free throw merchant.
But it's because he's a star. He's the MVP, and
he deserves that respect. And you have to have it
in the w NBA as well, and she just does
not have control over the league and they're just running
over everyone and it needs to side.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
If I own the w NBA team and Enniscan the
Freedom wanted to play and the league's gonna let biological
men play, I would I would want him on my
team team immediately, and any other you know, former NBA
star that wanted to be eligible, I put them on
the team immediately because they will win it all. It's
the fact that they won't take Clay Travis up on
(21:11):
his offer for ten million dollars to let the boys
high school team of his choice play last year's champions Vegas.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Is it speaks volume.
Speaker 9 (21:21):
Yeah, see that, That's where I'm gonna I'm gonna go
against you on that one. Why in the hell would
you ever if you're the women's basketball team, why would
you do this?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
What what advantage? Ten million? I have ten million reasons?
Speaker 9 (21:32):
Oh yeah, that's that's not good enough, Bud, because if
you don't.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Want what do you want twenty million?
Speaker 6 (21:38):
No?
Speaker 9 (21:38):
No, no, no, no, no no no no.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
The point No, Clay is making a point.
Speaker 9 (21:43):
Oh I know he told that he's making I don't
like how he's making it. Why not, Sean, If that
women's team loses to that, to that high school boys team,
how does that help the league? You're not helping advance
the cause of women's embarrassing them.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
But the league is suggesting that there's no difference if
some male identifies as a woman. Aren't they kind of
open to the idea that biological men can play in
the w F.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I know that's being made if you are at the point.
Speaker 9 (22:17):
If you are, if you are that women's team, there
is nothing in it for you other than the money.
There's only embarrassment. If you don't win that game convincingly
from start to finish, then then it's a tremendous It's
it's almost as bad as as allowing a transplayer in.
You're doing just as much damage.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I would be so negligent if I did not get
Linda's opinion on this.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
I know you're not the biggest sports person.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
However, I know I think this is great what Ennis
cantor Freedom is doing, and these other people are doing,
and what what what Klay Travis is doing. I love
it because they have dug themselves a whole politically, so deep.
I don't think they know how to get out of it.
I'm enjoying watching them struggle.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
I think it's I think these people deserve every bit
of pain they get. And I think if there are
women on the team who oppose going up against a
high school boys team, or oppose transgenders on their team,
they should choose the moment, which is right now to
speak up.
Speaker 7 (23:22):
If you think that everybody's equal.
Speaker 8 (23:24):
And we're all the same, and our bodies are all
the same and everybody is the same, fine, have at it.
But if you are a person who actually believes in
biology and that we are all created differently, and that
there are subsets of people that have similar things like
men and women.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Why does tell Ico think there's six genders? And championing
the rights of men to play women howe go, well,
hang on one more thing, and also championing the right
of biological men to have access to abortion services.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
Right because they sigh up right now. For example, I'll
give you a perf analogy. Six years ago, if you
said that taking the second COVID shot could potentially have
you lose your child in the first trimester, you would
have been laughed, You would have been yelled at, you
would have been called a tinfoil hat. Today it is
national news. It's on every major network, everybody's talk.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Fox has been covering it all day and all that
that is now that five years from first trimester, if
you get the second shot, they said, could.
Speaker 7 (24:24):
Have killed your baby, and he knew it, and he
knew it.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
So it's not just that.
Speaker 8 (24:28):
It so people who say we got to drop the
fauci stuff, it doesn't matter. Nobody cares. Let me tell you,
people care. You murdered their family, you murdered the unborn children.
We care a lot. But put that to the side
for a woman, so fastward. Five years from now, are
we going to have a whole group of people saying
I cannot believe all those people trying to let dudes
(24:48):
play with women in the w NBA and do all
that horrible stuff. But see the problem is right now,
everybody's afraid, like Stephanie White is afraid to say the truth,
which is, yes, I think it's weird for as six
foot eleven inch man to play in the women's league,
but because of our bylaws, we were trapped.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
Well, you know what, you made your bed sleep in
and get cozy.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
If I was Sophie Cunningham and my coach didn't stand
up for me, which was the most flagrant foul ever.
Speaker 7 (25:20):
Incredible.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Absolutely, I would demand.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I would walk up to the owner of the Indiana
Fever and I'd say, trade me now, I'm out.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
That's it. I want out. I'm not going to play
for you.
Speaker 7 (25:32):
For Sophie Cunningham is she's doing the right thing.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
Sophie Cunningham is speaking up.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
And if your coach stabs you in the back like that,
no way.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
If what the problem is, no one's going to pick
her up. Do you know why?
Speaker 8 (25:45):
Because they're all feckless if you look at these coaches.
Sage Steele said it on Friday, and I thought she
said it very well, and it was one of her
stronger points in that interview, which was she was in,
you know, this league of women in sports for thirty
years of her career. She was friends with a lot
of these coaches. She cannot believe how ridiculous it's become
(26:05):
to the point that they're unable to just state what's obvious,
which is that dudes or dudes, women are women and
they shouldn't be in the same thing. Now, I will say,
if trans people want to play that bad in a
professional league. Get some funding and start your own have
at it, knock yourselves out.
Speaker 7 (26:20):
Do whatever you want.
Speaker 8 (26:21):
But if you can't figure out if you're a girl
or a guy and nobody else can either, well then
make your own league.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
This is the I don't know league. We're all going
to play here.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Good luck.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
That's going to be amazing to watch. To our busy
phones we go.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Let's say hi to Duke in California where they have
a absentee no show governor communist Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
What's going on, Duke Carr?
Speaker 5 (26:45):
You, mister Hannity, thank you for taking my call. I
am a honorably discharged Vietnam era Marine Corps veteran, and
my first day in the military. You're still in your
civilian clothes. You raise your right hand and make a pledge,
A lifelong pledge. I do solemnly swear to defend the
Constitution in the United States against all foreign and domestic
(27:08):
enemies up into giving my life. So help me God.
I took it serious. Then I take it serious today
and when I see this crazy that's going on now,
it's a direct assault. Newsom. I mean, what can you
say about Newsom that everybody doesn't know he's a scumbag,
he's a communist. And the thing that really makes me
(27:30):
crazy is in World War One, we fought Germany, a
socialist fascist country. We lost one hundred and sixteen thousand
troops in that conflict. World War Two, we fought Germany
again in Japan. Germany a socialist fascist, evil country at
the time, we lost four hundred and seven thousand plus.
(27:52):
Now Korea we lost thirty three thousand fighting communism. Vietnam
we lost fifty eight thousand, four hundred sixty eight.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
By the way, you're not you're not even talking about
the Holocaust. You're not talking about you know, in the
last century, one hundred million souls dead. I mean yeah,
and America has led the way fighting for freedom. And
I know what you're gonna say, And now we're going
to give it away to communists?
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Is that what you're gonna say?
Speaker 5 (28:16):
We are giving it away?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
I mean no, we have.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
An election to stop it, and we have an election
in eighty five days to stop it. I'll tell you
you are making a brilliant point, I hope. And I'm
only out of time. I'm only I'm only going to
say goodbye because I'm out of time. But I'm telling you,
I hope everybody listens to Duke, a marine veteran, simpify
because he is dead on right. Too much blood and
(28:42):
death has taken has happened in defense of freedom, and
that's against communism, statism, totalitarianism, and we better stop it
right here, dead in its tracks. It can happen here,
believe it. Eight all right, we have WNBA, we have
well Democratic Communists of America madness. We have an electorate that,
(29:07):
unfortunately I think is half asleep right now. You need
to wake up, and you need to do it before
Labor Day. This election is that important. Please please tell
every one of your friends, your family, your coworkers, anybody
you run into. I mean, there's so much at stake
in this November midterm election. Anyway, we'll load it up.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Tonight.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
We have Dan Bongino, oh, our favorite Senator John Kennedy. Tonight,
Caroline Levitt. We got Oliver Larkin, the DSA candidate from Florida.
We had him on the radio last week. This guy's,
you know, got very interesting views. Breonna Lyman will be
hitting the streets for us a much much more just
say you DBR tonight Hannity nine Eastern on Fox. We'll
(29:48):
see you tonight. Back here tomorrow. Thank you for making
this show possible.
