Ep. 2482 - AOC Just Announced A 2028 Run... With A Weird Video Freezing Her Eggs

Huge announcement yesterday Alexander Ocasio-Cortez no longer so fresh no longer so face But now the heir apparent to Bernie Sanders announced shoes running for president in 2028 She did so not by announcing formally but by doing two things one She broadcast freezing her eggs on Instagram. I know we'll get into it and two She laughed off woke one woke 1.0 like it was all no biggie, you know Not a big deal. Welcome to the 2028 Democratic presidential campaign where biology is an obstacle to your happiness And we're substituting third worldism for woke 1.0 we'll get into what the hell aOC is doing What two is plus so if you can't have him being mugged on the court and then being called racist in the bargain This is the Ben Shapiro show So yesterday represent Alexander Ocasio-Cortez of New York announced her one for the presidency now You'll remember that basically she's only in Congress because she won a primary against Joe Crowley She of course is one of the bluest districts in America, but she has wooed Bernie Sanders for the past several years and she is indeed his heir apparent Well yesterday she basically announced for the presidency She didn't do so by coming out and saying she's forming an exploratory committee or anything But she did two critical things that shows she wants to run one She announced first off that she would be indefinitely delaying her reproduction by freezing her eggs And then she went on national TV and explained all that and also explained that woke 1.0 She went a little too far. It was a little crazy. So let's start at the beginning with the public and very weird announcement that she was freezing her eggs And yes, we're lab to say it's weird. Okay, it is you freezing your eggs. That is your decision Obviously we live in a country in which this is not against the law But you deciding to insta your egg freezing is a weird thing. Is it not? Well, here she was explaining that this was all just a choice you see a choice to feel more and controlled and feel empowered So I'm aware that Just by me choosing to not keep this private There may be a consequence, but you know what? I'm okay with that This is a choice that I am making To feel more in control of my life and If people want to make assumptions about my decision Let them make those assumptions I feel Empowered to make this choice. I think it's a very privileged position that I've been able to be able to make That's bait Now we're gonna take the bait because we're gonna explain what the hell she's doing But that's clearly bait, right? This is all girl bossing real girl bossing is when you inject yourself with hormones on Instagram live To start a process that will cost legitimately tens of thousands of dollars to take control of your own life because biology is unfair and mean And if a man comments then that is because he is sexist in some way now again She's the one who chose to make this public Okay, it's an obvious trap and this is the game that she is playing That's the game right the game is to to post that wait for people to comment on it and then claim that they're sexist for commenting on it We all know the game. It's a really stupid game But she's also doing it publicly because again, she is saying something kind of important about American society Okay, so again, she injected herself with hormones on Instagram live for the egg freezing No, no again people do this privately. Why are you doing this in front of millions of people? You guys just started ASMR egg freezing channel. I Think they have those on YouTube So much fun Wow so much fun to live from your medical procedures All right Yeah, well she doesn't have to do this for medical reasons she doesn't Don't be weird. It's not being driven by infertility Don't be weird about this you're being weird about this. Why are you talking to me? Why am I watching this? This is not this is none of my business. Why are you doing this? We're being what you're being weird about this lady. This is weird. Okay, you're being weird You're live streaming medical procedures on Instagram. You're being weird. Are we allowed to say you're being weird? You're being weird. Okay, this is being weird Hey, this is how she announces her presidential run. That's what she is doing and then she suggested That this is all because of men you see because men run for office and people don't wonder if they want to fit Well number one most men running for office like higher office already have a family because they're mostly in their 40s And they married for a while and they have families Like JD Vance has four children that is the person presumably should be running against Most most men again also like if they have families they have families if they don't they don't there's some women We don't have kids if they don't they don't They're like again turning this into like an aspect of girl-bossing is a weird move. It's weird. Okay, here we go But this is just not something that men deal with you know men run for office or frankly they interview for jobs and People don't think in the back of their mind Okay, this guy's running for office. How old is he oh well is Is he gonna want to start a family or? Is he even or if he does or if he doesn't has he made a choice of but you know people don't go down those rabbit holes and fixate on them for men in terms of their decision This is the way that they do for women well I mean it's not a fixation. I mean like women work differently than men Nobody is asking whether a man is going to get pregnant during his campaign because men Contra that cannot get pregnant now again. I don't promise you won't get pregnant during a campaign She can my wife did full-on medical residency multiple years of it while being pregnant Right we had full-on three children while she was in Medical training and the medical residency and she took some breaks But like you can do those things and by the way the number one feminist thing she could do She really wanted to be totally feminist is she would run for president and should be pregnant at the same time because then She could say okay. Why are you bothering me just because I'm pregnant. Why is that a problem? Okay, right now she is rapidly rising by the way in the Cal Shades Cal Shades one of our sponsors and Right now she's ranked number two in the Democratic presidential lineup by Cal Shade 15% of people believe she will be the nominee Gavin Newsom has been rapidly declining All the way down from the mid 30s all the way down to about 17% on ossuf is up slightly John ossuf is a flash in the pan AOC's candidacy is very real Already coming up AOC is creating a trap here You're not supposed to talk about the thing she's talking about publicly She does a weird thing on video, but if you talk about it that means that you're the bad guy It's you you're the problem. I'll tell you what's the problem for me lately the problem for me is I can't get a lot of sleep because we got a newborn and Right now I'm kind of sleeping on the floor of my kids room because you know my wife's up all hours of the night feeding the newborn and all the rest of that sort of I will tell you what I miss most I miss not only obviously my wife But I miss sleeping on my helix sleep mattress because my sleep quality. It's not what it once was you know that he looks sleep mattress It is great We know we made the right choice because we took the sleep quiz Which gave us a personalized style specific to our needs and sleep types because he likes doesn't expect one mattress to work for everyone They shipped it directly to our door for free couldn't have been easier. He likes offers customers 120 night sleep trial and happy with Helix guarantee you buy with confidence knowing that Helix is at number one priority is getting you the best sleep possible Head on over to helix sleep.com/men for 20% off-site wide Exclusively for listeners of this show at helix sleep.com/men for 20% off-site wide exclusively for listeners of this show again He looks sleep is gonna give you your best sleep because it's a mattress made just for you Don't just go to the mattress store and just lie down on something for five seconds and then you say oh good I'm good for the next 20 years bad way to do it instead take their sleep quiz right now He looks sleep.com/men for 20% off the obvious strap if I talk about this a. O. C. and her idiot follower start screaming Why are you even noticing why are you talking about this? You're a man We right we do that routine and this is the face tattoos in from I talk about all the time which is you go to the Starbucks some dude Or maybe a lady now has a gigantic face tattoo and then you're like Having a hard time not looking at the face tattoo and they're like what are you even looking at? I don't know. Maybe it's that's a two on your face. Maybe it was that thing. Okay. What she's doing is objectively weird That is a weird thing to do Not the freezing of the eggs part will get to the morality of all that in the more in a moment the public announcement Is weird the live streaming of it is strange. It is a weird thing to do. Are we allowed to notice? That's a weird thing to do It's a weird thing to do live streaming any medical procedure is a weird thing to do and Of course the only reason to do it is we will get to is to raise awareness of the medical procedure You remember Katie correct years ago did this with like a colonoscopy and the idea was to get people to do colonoscopies Well, the reason she is doing this as she will explain later is to normalize doing this, but Remember the the left's entire mantra just shows you when the left says right to privacy They never mean leave us alone. We just want our right to privacy They mean we want you to approve of every decision we make and also probably to imitate in public policy There's been true for decades with the left Is there anything less private than what she just did? It's why it's uncomfortable. It should be private if you're gonna do that do it privately But the my body my business, you know, what even what even noticing you put it on Instagram for millions of be and then she she's even doing it there. And then people are probably gonna talk about this. Yeah, that's why you're doing it. If you didn't want people to talk about it, I have a really easy solution. Don't put it on camera and live stream it. Any so-called right to privacy goes right out the window when you're filming yourself injecting hormones into your ovaries on Instagram and then post it for millions of people to see. So this gets to why is she doing this publicly? Well, obviously number one, 'cause she's running for president. This is her announcement that she's putting natural biology on hold in order to pursue the presidency. That's what it is. That is clearly what this is. That is why she's doing it, which in is actually kind of weirdly sexist because theoretically, she could pursue the presidency while actually just having an natural way, babies. She could do that, but she's not. So she said this is the best decision for her family. But that's a weird kind of call because here's the thing. She's 36 years old. She's perfectly healthy. She's been in a relationship with this dude that she is not married to for a reason no one can discern for the last five years. She could just go have a baby, the fun and easy way. Okay, but instead she's choosing IVF, right? Freezing the eggs and then later in vitro fertilization. IVF is really expensive. It is time-consuming. It is tough on the body. For a healthy woman of 36, let's say that you want to do it the old fashioned natural way. The chances of conceiving and having a healthy baby within one year of starting to try is somewhere between 75 and 80%. Now, let's say you harvest that same 36 year old woman's eggs. She's probably between eight and 12 eggs. The chances of a live birth per IVF round is around 40%. And the process is really, really not pleasant. Okay, it isn't. It may be necessary for people who are infertile will get to the morality of it in a second 'cause frankly, I kind of see all sides of this particular issue, but we should not pretend that the process is super simple that it's something what Lef likes to do, by the way, with medical procedures that they find politically useful. Right, transiting the kids medically simply just as a little snip snip you're done. Turns out none of that's true. Well, turns out that egg harvesting and egg implantation, it's not all that pleasant. Step one, which takes eight to 12 days is ovarian stimulation where you have to give yourself hormone injections. That's what she's doing right there. Usually, gonna drop it, which are FSH. That stimulates the ovaries to develop multiple follicles rather than a single follicle, right, too. Because normally you release one egg a month, while now you're releasing many, many eggs. And then you have a bunch of ultrasound and blood test appointments to monitor follicle growth and hormone levels. And then you have to take another medication to stop you from ovulating before you can grab the eggs. And then there is the so-called trigger shot, that's step three, that's a trigger injection of HCH or a GNRH agonist, depending on the protocol. And that induces maturation of the egg. And then agrotrival is scheduled like 36 hours later. And then there's the actual agrotrival, which requires like a full anesthetized procedure where the physician uses a trans-vaginal ultrasound guided needle to enter the follicles, and then aspirate the contents. And then the embryology lab examines the fluid, identifies the eggs, right, there could be more follicles than eggs, typically there are. And then there's a certain number of mature eggs and then they're the eggs that are not mature. And that's just the harvesting. Later, when you do the implantation, that means that there's a process of egg selection. So let's say there were 10 eggs harvested, now you get eight that were mature, maybe six get fertilized, maybe three end up as blastasis, maybe one or two end up as what are typically healthy embryos, you ployed embryos. And then the woman has to take estrogen and progesterone, if she's like, let's say that she's gonna delay this 10 years, and let's say she has gone through some form of metapause. So that means the chest has simulated ovulation. And again, the reason I'm spelling all this out is because it's not easy and it's not cheap, and it is not just another option in life. So she can do this because she's 36 independently wealthy. She's privileged, right? She says she has the privilege, which is true. It's a rich people thing, typically speaking. The question is, why isn't she just doing it the natural way? Why isn't she doing it the woman of the people way, right? You know, like 99% of the humans. Again, she's not doing this for medical reasons. She is not doing this because she is having fertility issues or anything like this, can make some mockery of those who actually do have fertility issues and are pursuing this process for medical reasons. And this is not a decision to feel empowered, unless I am empowered, we somehow mean that biology itself is an obstacle to living your fullest life, which again, is a left wing idea. The left wing idea that biology itself, when you're not talking about actual unhealth, you're not talking about an actual biological condition, that biology itself, like normal maturation is unfair and cruel, this is something that the left truly believes. This is why they treat puberty for kids as some sort of biological obstacle. It's why they are now treating pregnancy as some sort of biological barrier for women to overcome. By the way, again, can't think of anything more woman, anti-woman than the idea that pregnancy is a biological burden on women that is something horrible to be overcome. It is a superpower, okay? I watched my wife just do it. It is a superpower. It is unbelievable. It's an incredible gift. And to meaning that so that you can compete in a man's work, like I don't even understand how that's feminist. I think you have a better feminist case for pregnant women should be able to run for president. Then women should have to put off the reproduction for years and years and years and years in order to run for president. What she's doing is something else. She is trying to valorize herself for putting off pregnancy indefinitely, expensively and more dangerously than the natural way. With, of course, many more questions to be asked about IBS itself. And that brings us to the second reason she's doing this. One is she wants to run for president. She doesn't want you asking about if she's gonna get pregnant while she's running. So she's preemptively saying that she's not gonna get pregnant, right? That's what that means. All right, coming up, AOC says she wants to normalize the conversation about freezing your eggs or something, which is a weird thing to do. But you know what is a funny thing that happens when you build a business. At some point it actually becomes a real business. You've got employees and benefits and contracts and about a thousand moving pieces nobody warned you about. Honestly, it's really disconcerting because you spend most of your time when you start a business, not thinking about logistics of all that kind of stuff. You actually build your business. And then one day you walk in and you're like, I need an HR department or something. It's very hard, in other words. Well, that's really, really true of insurance because once you have 25 plus employees, insurance is one of those things that probably should not be handling with a few clicks online. And this is where Super Shore comes in. There are Super Agency licensed in all 50 states for business insurance and employee benefits with year round support for you and your team. They're fine print facts tool, translates your existing policy into plain English. So you can actually see what's covered and also what is not.

Paid for by Super Shore Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency, go check them out right now and make this part of your life easier. Super Shore.com/shapiro. That's super short.com/shapiro. She's not doing this to explain or normalize the process for the infertile. But a lot of sort of open and interesting moral questions about IVF in general on a moral level. I actually tend to be more Catholic than Jewish on this issue because, again, Catholics tend to be very much black or white. This is just a thing we don't do because the idea is once you start separating off the process of making a baby from the baby making, then you end up carving up the process and bad things result. That's sort of the Catholic idea. There's a little bit more play in the rules with regard to Judaism. I'm generally against IVF because of the inherent problem of creating human life with potential and then discarding it, which is what happens as a process of IVF. But again, I certainly understand and sympathize with the counter argument that without IVF, certain babies just won't be born. Again, two things can be true once. I can be genuinely overjoyed a child exists who otherwise wouldn't exist. While simultaneously being saddened by the morally questionable methods, used to bring a child into existence. It's entirely possible to wish that a specific decision had not been made while still being grateful for the results of that decision. That is a thing you can do. But I'm not totally Catholic on this sort of thing because, again, if a husband and a wife are struggling with infertility and choose to create say a single embryo to carry to term or implant all the embryos, I don't personally see a huge moral problem with that. But that, but none of that is what's happening here. This is a perfectly optional procedure she is pursuing 'cause she wants to pursue her presidential run. And she is doing this publicly because she is making a statement that has society-wide consequences. Biology itself is unfair. Seriously, the system that has got created the cosmic system itself, nature is unfair. And that's why she is doing it publicly because the personal is political. Now that phrase, the personal is political. That was originally coined by this feminist named Carol Hanish back in 1969. And her point was that your personal choices are inherently political. Abortion is personal, she says, but it's actually political. And there's truth to that because the personal can remain personal when it's personal, but when it becomes a societal standard, it now becomes political. And the left has done this with every single supposed privacy issue, every single one. How fast did we move from abortion to the difference between you and your doctor to shout your abortion? We need to encourage abortions from birth control. How fast did we move from? Why can't you leave us alone in our bedrooms to we demand government benefits for what we do in our bedrooms? We just want treatment for gender dysphoric youth, too. We just want to teach your kids that boys can be girls and then we want to penalize you in the workplace for saying the opposite. Well, that's what this is. So what is the political point that AOC is making here? She's making the point pretty obviously. Biology is unfair. Womanhood is inherently unfair. And that there's no moral issue with fertilizing embryos, you will discard or delaying having kids or any of that. Not because of infertility, but out of pure choice. But again, biology is unfair. This is what AOC was saying to Jonathan Carligan. It's super weird that we are doing this publicly. It is super duper, duper weird. It is super weird to announce your presidential run by saying, I promise. not to get pregnant for the next 10 years, which is why I'm having my eggs removed. Okay, that is a weird thing to do, but that's where we are. It was interesting to see you kind of open up and you know, and Instagram live, I believe was. So tell me, tell me what it was and why it's. Yeah, you know, I think it's important for us to normalize these conversations, especially in this political environment. The Trump administration has- Remind us what the announcement was. Yeah, sure. So I have decided to start the process of freezing my eggs. And in this political environment where this administration is denying reproductive care to women across the country, from abortion rights to the ability to carry out a healthy pregnancy, I think it's important for us as leaders to have these conversations and share these processes, especially for working women across the country and normalize them. Okay, working women across the country cannot afford these processes. Now, again, that is going to be the next step. It's going to be everyone should have this paid for by the government. That's where she's going to go with this. But pretending this is like a working class issue is not true. It is not true. Overwhelmingly, the people who have IDF are people who are at the upper end of the income spectrum. And more broadly, when you treat life as though it's an elective flexible commodity, you end up with this sort of Frankenstein morality. These are a beautiful and normal part of life. Biology is a beautiful and normal part of life. When you decide that babies are a commodity to be created when convenient and that biology can be manipulated at will, that has some pretty significant societal consequences. There's a point that Ross do that formally of the New York Times and I'm moving over to CBS News made when he had a discussion with a founder of a company called Orchid, which is about IVF named Norse Diki. Here he was discussing IVF. A man and a woman make love and by making love, they bring a new life into the world that they haven't sculpted or engineered in any way that is given to them out of the self-giving from each other. That that forms this profound connection between sex, the way you love your partner and the family that you brought into being. And again, this, you know, allowing that we're in a world where people have genetic disorders and there are all kinds of reasons that people would consider other ways of having children, you're imagining a future where that just sort of goes away and I'm wondering if you think anything would actually be lost if that goes away. If 90% of babies are born through IVF and having sex and having a baby out of that becomes this weird thing that the amish do. Aren't you pushing some really intimate and important aspect of human experience out of human experience? Okay, and she looks totally puzzled by this particular question, totally puzzled because again, he complete disconnected in sex and procreation, which really happened and was pushed by the left in the 60s and came along with the birth control pill, has now come to its fullest fruition here. And what does that do? Well, it promotes a casual attitude toward reproduction as if there are no societal consequences or even personal consequences for just hitting an indefinite pause button on biological reality. And of course, all of this glosses over the fact this is an incredibly expensive physically demanding, medically much riskier procedure than natural processes that is nowhere near a guarantee of a healthy child. But we're framing this now as a positive and powered good, which creates another permission structure for young women to delay motherhood based on the idea that biology is somehow unfair or sexist and that this is just a really, really good first option. I don't know back up option like a good first option. The biggest problem in our society is that we have adult men and women who are putting off the key choices in life. That is a major problem in our society, marriage, having kids, we're putting it off. That's a real problem. But again, it isn't the left because the idea of the left for generations at this point has been to replace actual biology and actual consequences with presumptively at some point government interventionism, which again, this is where this is going to go. I promise this is going to go to she's going to say, I can afford. but you can't afford it. Everyone needs to be able to do IVF. This was the left biggest promise. And by the way, the only promise the left is ever kept. The promise to free people of the consequences of decision making. The left promise sets without consequences and then built an entire governmental structure to secure that. And now the left is promising that you can basically alter your biology without consequences. They're going to do the same thing. That's why AOC is doing this. And to talk about this, there will be now a little back, right? Because if you take issue with her personal decision, a decision that she is announcing to the entire world, with the intent of making it public and political, then she will portray this anti-woman. But once again, it seems to me far more anti-woman to proclaim that womanhood itself, meaning like getting pregnant having a baby for healthy people, must be delayed indefinitely in order to compete with the men. First of all, it's not true. We all have to make all sorts of decisions bound by reality. It's not government's job to fix reality and struggling against reality or bound to lose. A society in which women indefinitely put off reproduction for career purposes is a worst society. It's a society that does not function properly. A society in which children are viewed as accoutrements and not as the core of the future, like the most important thing you do, is a worst society. And it is not the fault of men that men's biological contribution to babymaking is far less time consuming and rigorous and difficult than women's. That is not a man's fault. And it is not a woman's shortcoming. That is true for women's super power. A society in which IVF is not a medical solution to a fertility problem, but an option for rich ladies who just don't want the inconvenience of reality is a worst society. Again, this is all part and parcel of a broader agenda, rebelling against reality by assuming that if we just fix reality utopia is right there, and that brings us to AOC's second big presidential announcement. She says, "Woke 1, woke 1.0. It's so over. It's no longer like cool or even fat or anything like that." Francesca Hong has made clear her present stances to her lawyer. Yeah, she's moved away from her lawyer. Right, she's moved away from it. And I have a local city councilman that has this saying, "Woke 1 was crazy." And I think that what's important is that we have to assess what it is. I mean, did the movement go too far with some of those positions? I mean, you briefly supported the idea of defunding the police. You know, I think that during this time, especially during COVID, there was a huge opening of the over-tune window. We were shut down. There was some of the highest unemployment rates that we have seen because of those shutdowns. And I think that the doors were really open in trying to entertain any and every policy that was going to get us to a better place. Um, okay, let's start with this. Shut up. Like really just shut it. Just shut it. You did this and you don't get to blow it off. Oh, you know, it's just, it's like a weird thing. It was a weird time. And we did woke and it was like, it just had some like some issues like, oh my god, like, oh my god, like, but now like, it's different like, oh my god, November 7th, 2021, Alexander Ocasio-Cortez, quote, one dangerous aspect of thinking there is a woke problem is that democratic chances for reelection or majorities in House Senate and White House rely on the racial justice issue of voting rights. Dems distancing from racial justice makes protection of voting rights less likely, ensuring losses. When she was defending woke, all the way through, quote, woke is a term pundits are now using as a derogatory euphemism for civil rights and justice. Making up a woke problem results in putting civil and voting rights on the back burner. In a year, state legislatures are planning out GOP majorities and voter suppression. That's dangerous. People think Fox News is just about indoctrinating right wingers, but it's also about conditioning Dems on what to run away from framing racial justice as controversial is key to delaying the protection of voting rights and others until it's too late. We shouldn't indulge it. So again, 2021 AOC woke and woke and woke again, but now woke 1.0. Oh man, I can't believe it did it. Oh my god. Okay, so just let's be let's be clear that woke had actual human consequences, including a gigantic ass homicide spike that happened during woke. This is a chart sourced from CDC statistics that shows the gigantic spike in murder in the United States after George Floyd, for example. And of course, he saw $2 billion in property damage and we saw a vast spate of careers destroyed and lives ruined by woke 1.0. So her kind of just dismissing and oh, woke. Yeah, that funny silly thing we did when we were younger when we were the youngins. Okay, but I want to get to the difference between woke 1.0 and woke 2.0 when she says woke 1 is dead. She means woke 2 is on the way. So what is the distinction? Okay, so woke 1.0. First of all, again, building on the normally when you build a 2.0, that means that you're building on the bones of 1.0. Right. If you are talking about the Apple 2.0 version, you mean the better version of Apple 1.0. So if you think woke sucked, you probably shouldn't build 2.0 of it. But what was 1.0? So 1.0. The chief proposition of woke 1.0 was that racism lay at the core of American society. The system was born in racism, bred in racism, uncorrectable, and the system need to be torn down. It was the 1619 project, right? America was born in racism. It was born from slavery. Now woke 1.0 was originally crafted during the Obama administration. It was crafted in 2012, 2013 when Obama decided to move away from the unifying messages of 2008, and instead argue that America was inherently racist, its systems were inherently racist. And this is how it works. you got Ferguson and this I got Trayvon Martin and this is how you got the George Floyd scenario later. Again, it was metastasized and fully unleashed in 2020 and it cost billions of dollars and probably thousands of lives and it was it was a massive disaster for America. Now, what was it popular with the form of wokeness? Woke 1.0. It was very popular basically with white liberal Americans and black Americans but nobody else. So if you think back to the faces of Woke 1.0, that would be people like Nicole Hannah Jones or Ibrahim X. Kendi. AOC was kind of an awkward, weird fellow traveler in Woke 1.0. Now, the problem for the left is that Americans ended up rejecting Woke 1.0. That is because one, Americans don't believe that American ideas are found in on racism. We don't think that declaration and constitution are rooted in racism and two, Woke 1.0 is kind of self-refuting. If the idea is that American society and Americans in general are white supremacists, Americans don't believe that about themselves. We know too many people of other races. We can look around in our society and see that racism is not the predominant factor. And so at a certain point, most Americans figured that it was BS and that included not just white Americans but also Hispanic Americans and Asian Americans. Like the reason Woke died is because Woke was taken to the logical extreme, which is that everything was discrimination. Okay, so Woke 1.0 it ran into a problem. So what is Woke 2.0? This is the real question. So Woke 1.0 argued that racism was at the root of the system. Woke 2.0 argues that capitalism is at the root of the system and capitalism is the problem. So it's not that capitalism is an outgrowth of racism. Racism is an outgrowth of capitalism. So Woke 1.0 argued that free markets arose from white supremacy. This was an explicit argument made by the 1619 project that white supremacy undergirded free markets. Woke 2.0 argues that everything bad comes from capitalism, right? That white supremacy and imperialism and colonialism, these were all results of free markets and property rights. Now Bernie said this back in 2016 and he was kind of mocked for it because the idea was he didn't get the racial struggle. But now it's back. But the face is not white guy Bernie or potentially Jewish guy Bernie. Now there is a different phase. Think of the faces of Woke 2.0. Who are the faces of Woke 2.0? That'd be Zorn Mamdani, Abdul Al-Sahiad, Hassan Piker. Woke 1.0 was Rob and the Angeloan, Ibrahim X, Kennedy, American society is racist, everything is fruit of that poison is tree. Woke 2.0 is Edward Saeed, the former Columbia University professor and professional liar who said that America's failure is that we are basically a corrupt empire. We are a corrupt empire whose capitalism corrupted the earth and everything that happens everywhere else under it that's bad and at home is due to our terrible free market system. And who better to represent America as a corrupt empire than victims of that corrupt empire? People from outside America who can come back to America and tell us what we do wrong because we live over here right things are kind of okay. But if you can come from outside and explain to us that the reason that we have shortcomings in our life is the same as they had shortcomings but their shortcomings were so much worse than ours but they both come from the same source which is not white supremacy. It's just capitalism that's sexy. Because again, Woke 1.0 forced Americans to say, am I racist or am I not? That was the question you were supposed to ask right? That was the Matt Walsh question, am I racist? Woke 2.0 is, is American capitalism inherently corrupting and bad? Right? Is America's free market system is the West's system of freedoms and free markets? Inherently imperialistic, colonialist, genocidal and racist. Right? But that comes from its free market private property right system. This is why the key issue of Woke 1.0 was George Floyd or Ferguson, Missouri and the key issue for Woke 2.0 is Gaza. Right? This is why you're sitting around going like, why the hell are we talking about the Gaza strip? You know, it's a tiny strip of land. It's very far away like 8,000 miles away. Why? Well, the answer is because Woke 2.0 is about the idea that everything bad that happens on planet earth must be the result of terrible westernism. Westernism is responsible for genocide. Right? That's the false word they use about Gaza. So you have to ignore all the context, all the history, all the reality, but you can get there. Now again, Woke 2.0 is actually nothing. It's actually Woke 0.0, right? Because it's just pure uncut Marxism. If you go far back enough to the beginning of the 20th century, one of the key arguments of the post Marx Marxism, because again, there's sort of Marx as expressed in the Communist manifesto or Doss Kapital. And then there is the sort of re-jiggring of Marx when it turned out that he was wrong about everything. So Marx made a prediction. His prediction was that capitalism went impoverished workers. It leads to the amazeration of the population. And it turns out that was totally false. That actually capitalism raised wages, capitalism made better stuff, and materially people were better off because of capitalism. So then the left had to do sort of re-jiggring and reinterpretation of Marx. And so they did this at the beginning of the 20th century. Marxist named J.A. Hobbson argued famously in 1902 that imperialism was an outgrowth of capitalism. He argued that basically the excess wealth and savings accumulated under capitalism led to imperialist profit seeking abroad. There was too much money in the West, so we had to somehow spend that money somewhere, so we had to conquer other places. Now that's total crap. It's nonsense. But it was, in fact, crucial to sort of the Marxist movement in the early 20th century. Vladimir Lenin wrote about it explicitly in his most famous early work titled "The Imperialism the Highest Age of Capitalism." So 1917, Lenin wrote this, and you tell me this doesn't sound exactly like Bernie Sanders or Zarmamdani or Abdualsaiyeh or Hassan Piker. Quote. Capitalism has grown into a world system of colonial oppression, and of the financial strangulation of the overwhelming majority of the people of the world by a handful of advanced countries. And this booty is shared between two or three powerful world marauders armed to the teeth who involve the whole world in their war over the sharing of their booty. Right? That's Lenin in 1917 and also Mondani and Al-Sayat and Piker and all the rest today. And AOC, by the way. It is also increasingly the horseshoe right, again, which sees America as a corrupt empire and sees all of that as an outgrowth of individualistic free markets. Again, I could read that same quote again, and it would sound exactly like, say Tucker Carlson or Adrian for Mule. So again, woke 1.0 was mostly white people in some black people saying that America is racist. That's what America is about. The West is racist. It's white supremacist. Woke 2.0 is white people and some brown people, predominantly foreigners, telling us that American capitalism is responsible for all these things. Free markets are responsible for all these things. The systems of the West are responsible for all these things. So it's easier to pitch woke 2.0 than woke 1.0. Why? Well, one, a rocked arrangement syndrome. So Americans have been convinced over the course of the last 25 years or so that actually America is the bad guy that we and our allies are fundamentally evil that are foreign policy decisions of the past two decades and maybe longer, going all the way back to World War II, according to some, are actually terrible and horrible and were the bad guys in the world. And second, there's a lot of economic angst right now. Combine those two things. I believe that America is an aferious power globally and are economic angst and you get woke 2.0. This is AOC's new program. It's the program I've done all say yet and it's our mom Donnie too. Again, it's just old school and anism with some brown foreign faces at the front. The supposed victims of the system. It's actually the dream of Jean Paul Sarch, the far left communist who wrote back in the 1960s, quote, "this is about Western civilization. It's our turn to tread the path step by step, which leads down to native level. But to become natives altogether, our soil must be occupied by a formerly colonized people and we must starve of hunger, right? That would be just desserts for us." So why is it working? So Peggy Nunein has a piece over the weekend in the Wall Street Journal talking about why socialism is working and she basically says it's ignorance and economic upset that voters who are young saw the 2008 economic crash and they got black pilled on capitalism and AI is scaring them and also they don't remember the Cold War and also institutional trust is down and a lot of that is true. But there's something else going on here. A deep and abiding hatred of America that's being projected back on America now. This is not just about questions of the economy. That's not what this is. Not just questions about the economy. It is about hatred of America. hatred of America and AOC is trying to capitalize on all of this. And here she was saying that millennials are an angry, general, generational tsunami at the polls. Even right now when we look at this insurgent wave of what is happening, oftentimes when people are doing that Monday morning quarterbacking and what demographics voted where the big one that's being ignored is the generational tidal wave. It's not. And you see it in the polling. It is significant. Millennials are not you know punk kids anymore. Yeah. We're grown adults with mortgages and kids and well you're not you. That generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, sidelined, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us on everything from the economy to climate. And we're taking the reins. Right again the olds are bad. Then them and their old fashion values they're bad. And America is the bad guy in the world again. The America is the bad guy in the world is the future not the bug for these folks. This is the future not the bug. This created a bit of an awkwardness for Abdul al-Sahead. So Abdul al-Sahead because again the left decided to support Ukraine against Russia because they decided that Russia was pro-Trump for whatever dumb reason. Abdul al-Sahead the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan. He was asked on meat the press why he supports funding for Ukraine but not Israel. And he ignores the obvious answer, which is that he hates Jews, but here he was trying to explain the difference and the difference is not the difference. You're saying you would not support sending aid to Israel, which was attacked by Hamas, but you have also said that you would support sending military aid to Ukraine, which was of course attacked and invaded by Russia. Where do you draw the line there? Well, in Ukraine, you're talking about attacks from a leader of a neighboring sovereign country who clearly violated international law and attempting to breach the sovereignty of the Ukrainian public, that is conditional on that circumstance. We have been offering unconditional foreign military aid to Israel, independent of the circumstances for years and years and years. And might I say it's not just Israel, it's also Egypt, it's also Jordan, it's also Saudi Arabia. That's the difference. It's about the conditions. So when we're talking about taking on Putin and his violation of international law, I do believe we have a responsibility to uphold international law and therefore to support Ukraine and its efforts. This is joke obviously he's lying, obviously he's lying. Because again, a border was breached, Hamas murdered 1200 people and if one of the conditions would be, you know, use it against Hamas, Israel has been doing that. But again, this is all part and parcel of the broader take that Syed has on America, which is that America is bad. Right? So he was campaigning with Hassan Piker. Hassan Piker is a radical leftist who loves China and hates America, hates America. Okay? Again, double underlined, despises the United States, despises it. He campaigned with Hassan Piker and he was asked about that fact. And he says, well, you know, America didn't deserve 9/11, but we should get out of cancel culture. Weird that you call it cancel culture when you say you shouldn't campaign with the American deserve 9/11 guy. Weird. When asked about Hassan Piker's comments on 9/11 Senator Bernie Sanders called it a dumb statement, do you agree? Do you disavow those comments that America deserved 9/11? Of course. Of course it was a dumb statement and of course I think Hassan himself would say that was a dumb statement. He disavowed it. So yes, America didn't deserve 9/11, but you know, to sit here and play gacha politics with dumb things somebody said out of context that they disavowed themselves to say, oh, well, what does that mean about what you think? I want to be held accountable for what I say and what I do rather than this idea that we've, we're so stuck in cancel culture that all of us agreed was a bad idea back in 2020, but we seem to want to bring back. Okay, give me a break. All of us agreed. I don't want to was cancel culture. It was we cancel you for saying boys are not girls and for saying that America is not systemically racist. What a liar. And by the way, it's an entire cohesive worldview. You shouldn't be campaigning with Hassan Piker, not because Hassan Piker said something about 9/11 because his entire worldview is built around hatred of the United States. That would be the reason. By the way, again, this is the same Abdul Al Sayed back in 2020 saying that he hated Maconaw Island. A Maconaw Island is maybe the most beautiful area of Michigan. I mean, it's just gorgeous. And he was walking around saying he hates it. Why does he hate it? If people live there, of course, that's the real reason he hates it because again, it's about hatred of capitalism because they claim that hatred of capitalism undergirds evil American imperialism. Now, here's the reality. For people like Abdul Al Sayed or Zorn Mamdani, they don't hate the capitalism nearly as much as they hate America's foreign policy. Their hatred for America is due to America's foreign policy, not the capitalism, but if they can claim that what they're really going after is the capitalism, then the left buys in. So here's Abdul Al Sayed ripping on Maconaw Island a few years back. Please watch your stuff. I was discharming Americana Island. This is he hates it. So if we win, this is going to be the summer home. I don't even like every time I've ever come here, I've hated it. Why am I here? He hates it every time. What is there to look around him? Why did he hate it? Well, again, he says, he, my Roger's points out that Maconaw is great. And Sayed goes, both of these multi-millionaires can afford a weekend on Maconaw Island. How about you and your family? So it's all about the rich people. It's about the rich people, but the answer is he just hates America. He really does. We can have our first full scale America hating Senator. I mean, that's how close we are if woke 2.0 gets its way. And here's the thing. Woke 2.0. You hated woke 1.0, right? Born in careers who is canceling people is terrible. Woke 2.0 will be way, way worse than woke 1.0. Why? Because unlike woke 1.0, there is nothing self refuting about the idea that America is evil in the world. You can go around and you can look around your life in America and say, listen, this doesn't seem that racist to me. It doesn't seem that white supremacist. I don't see the problem. But woke 2.0 is not about that. It's about saying that America is evil in the world. This is why Gaza has become a litmus test for the left. Because again, the idea is that America is evil. You know like Nazi Germany supporting those Jewish Nazis over there. That's the idea. It's untrue. It's a lie. And it's a disgusting lie at that. But people are significantly more apt to believe that line of crap because there's ugly images that do come out of the Middle East. And again, you don't have to know that much. And you say, oh, that's really ugly. That's really terrible. It's a lot easier to believe that America was bad and rocked into believe that all your neighbors are racist. And the left, of course, is perfectly happy with woke 2.0. They're perfectly happy with woke 1.0. They'll say all the words. They'll fly all the flags. They'll put up all of the little insignias on their profiles. They may have to avoid like a few easy pitfalls, you know, shave the rough edges off Hassan Piker by claiming as the media do. He's just, you know, he just has comments on Israel. Not that he's a full-scale terrorism supporter or pretend that Zor Mamsani is just critical of corporations, not capitalism, the way that John Idiot Stewart does. But again, that's not that hard. Rolling stone will do that. Rolling stone. Didn't entire profile. Again, this is nothing new. Rolling stone did a literal front page. Profile of the Boston marathon bomber and treat him like a rock star. So treating Hassan Piker as those of rock star, this communist piece of shit. Like truly get the hell out of our country truly. I understand he's an American citizen. We need to change those rules, ASAP. I'm for a constitutional amendment that gets rid of people who are born in the United States and grew up abroad and came back in hate America. How about that? He is the worst of the worst and they are just upholding him. This piece in Rolling Stone is extraordinary. His mom lives nearby in apartment he got for her, his little brother at Murat and sister at Liv in law live close as well. His dad flew in from Turkey. They're going on vacation to an undisclosed island. Again, they don't hate the capitalism. They just hate America. So his mom, who is an architectural historian who specializes in 19th century Turkish interiors, hung around and she said that she agrees with Piker's politics with a few exceptions what I'm not in love with China like he is. Now again, Piker was born in New Jersey in 1991. His family immediately moved back to Turkey. He grew up in Ankara and Istanbul. They brought him to stay with his grandparents in central New Jersey every summer. And he went to basketball camp, watched adult swim, played playstation too. He said when you're growing up in a different country, American consumerism is incredible. Free real refills, 30 different flavors, warriors, silly simple things that I like that. I still really love about America. Because he loves all the products but he hates capitalism. And as Rolling Stone observes, he controls the means of production. His profits are based on the market. A subscription to his channel runs $6 a month. He has about 50,000 subscribers minus Twitch's 30% cut. That's north of $2 million a year. He doesn't run to answer due brand partnerships. And he has a Mercedes. Again, they call him Eugene Debs who deadlifts, Abby Hoffman with abs. And now again, the left will never let go of him because he represents all the things. He hates America, hates America. That is the key. The key to, again, disowning the Piker who hates America is disowning Piker but they will never do it. They will not. Here's AOC doing the same thing. He said a lot of controversial things. Our elections that have happened. We have lost young people. Much hate was made about the fact that we lost young men in the last election. And many of the same consultants that are ringing their hands today were the same ones talking about how we need to go on Joe Rogan and we need to be not so willing to engage in cancel culture. Oh my God. The left you. You know how I'm furating it is to hear people like this talk about cancel culture. They were all in favor of canceling people who believed a baseline normal things. They were perfectly happy with that. It's disgusting to listen to that. It's disgusting to listen to AOC or I'll say I talk about cancel culture. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me right now? And of course then just pretend that they're just doing you know FDR is just FDR stuff. Mamdani trying to pretend that he is some sort of FDR guy. Again, the pitch for Zorn Mamdani as opposed to any other normy Democrat in the city of New York. Every Democrat in the city of New York ever has campaign as an FDR accolade. That is not what distinguishes Zorn Mamdani. It is his hatred of America. The distinguishes Zorn Mamdani. It is what the Democratic Party is embracing full scale. We're seeing a lot of examples of what it can look like to have that focus on the working person. People who understand that affordability isn't just something you say. It's something you have to deliver. And that in doing this, we're not running away from the Democratic Party. We're going back to what the party used to be. You think about FDR and LaGuardia. You think about the new deal. That's what the Democratic Party once was. That's what it could be again. And if we want to. when I think that's what we have to become. I'm pretty sure FDR in LaGuardia didn't hate the country. I'm pretty sure there's that and didn't associate with people who are pro terrorism. I don't know. So here's the thing. There's a vulnerability for woke 2.0 just that it was with woke 1.0. So with woke 1.0 it turns out that Hispanic Americans particularly were not that in do it. They voted on mass for Trump in 2024. And it turns out that for woke 2.0 both black and Hispanic Americans are not all that into it. Right. So the core constituency believe it or not for L.S.I.E. Again, we're people who don't earn that much money but have very, very high levels of education. Of course. Of course. The casually unsuccessful. The highly educated unsuccessful. That is like his core constituency pissed off white people who got a college degree and can't get a job now. That is his constituency combined with people who just despise America because again he won 90% of the voting yearborn something like that in the Muslim community in Zibor. Now again, there's a weakness for woke 2.0. The president knows it. The president tweeted out black and brown voters don't want communism or socialism. Not surprisingly they're flocking to the Republican Party. They remember Abraham Lincoln was Republican. Well, that's not why. First of all, I think that the right needs to stop talking predominantly about communism and socialism because the stats show that people don't even know what those things mean anymore. Bernie Sanders has pretended that Denmark is socialist for long enough that people now think that when people say socialism they mean Denmark as opposed to say Soviet Russia. Here is the thing that they all have in common. They despise America and her founding principles. despise it and they are lying about it. That is the thing. They hate America. Bernie Sanders vacationed in the Soviet Union as a young man. These people despise the United States. But here's the thing. The left figures if the economy gets bad enough, then woke 2.0 will still succeed. And again, it's not self refuting quite the way that woke 1.0 was. I will meanwhile, in the WNBA. So the WNBA is making news. It is very rarely a good way. I guess all attention is good attention in the WNBA, but here seems to be the story in the WNBA lately. White lady says obvious things. A black lady mugs her. The black lady gets punished. And then the black lady complains the entire system is rigged against black people. So that is a thing that happened over the weekend. When it turns out that a player named Dijonet Carrington went directly after Sophie Cunningham. So Sophie Cunningham, of course, is the player for the Indiana fever who has said, who has made the horrifyingly true statement that boys are not girls. And has stood up for Caitlin Clark when she was getting no pun intended man handled, or I guess, will man handled. In any case. So Dijonet Carrington, Cunningham is coming down the lane, but the speed of a gazelle and Dijonet Carrington comes from behind and just clothes lines her. Here's Cunningham up ahead of the field ways that ain't. Oh my goodness. And then Cunningham gets into the face of Dijonet Carrington right away in the aftermath. Yeah, that is not that. I mean, just hammered it. I mean, for no reason, by the way, just clocks this. Look at this. Oh, that is not I'm sorry. That's not even. I think to a flagrant to Ryan. I think I mean, she's definitely going to be upgraded to a flagrant. She's not even trying to hold her to stop her from making the layup. She just goes around her head. So Fegrant Fowl, 1022. Well, yeah, she's complaining about that in what world is now ejected from the game following that hard foul on Sophie Cunningham. Well, yeah, I mean, look at this. She doesn't just like grab around the shoulder. She like grabs her around the face. Come on. Okay. So she gets ejected and it turns out that the real victim here is Dijonet Carrington. She then tweeted out all caps white privilege at Indiana fever. What now? What now? So you close line. I mean, again, absolute close lining. And then she posted 823, which is the date that she plays the fever next. And again, we've seen some pretty hard fouls in this, but this is like 1980s basketball. Honestly, like 1980s NBA. This is as a Celtics fan is a play near and near to my heart. This is the Kevin MacKale clothes lining of Kurt Rambus in the 1984 finals that may in fact have turned around the finals in favor of the Celtics. It looks like this, right? There we go. There's Rambus and then here comes MacKale. And MacKale kind of grabs him. Okay. It's like the same play except way, way worse from Dijonet Carrington who grabbed around the head. Here he sort of grabs him around the shoulder. A little bit of the neck. Okay. But that was like a super hard foul on Kurt Rambus. Back in 1984, I was considered one of the hardest fouls. So yeah, I mean, that's a flagrant. Okay. Let's be real about white privilege. Why is everything white privilege? Why? It's not white privilege. If the player that you absolutely destroyed coming down the court, like she's Rudy Tom Johnovich in your current watching to somehow an aspect of white privilege when you get ejected. But here was the Indiana fever coach doing the obligatory thing defending Dijonet Carrington. Look, it was a hard foul. I don't think that Dijonet intentionally came out to get her across the neck like she did, but it did happen. And I thought it was the right call. But you know, one of the things about Ney is that she's going to play her butt off, man. She's going to compete. Nobody's going to 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 for the net. And I can't in Clark does not look particularly happy about this particular statement by her coach sitting right next door. Again, it's ridiculous. Okay, so fine. Say that, but she's the one who's living white privilege. She's the one who says it's white privilege to be ejected. And the WNB just cannot get out of its own way. Okay. Meanwhile, apparently a lot of people were very upset that Caitlin Clark bumped into a referee and then got a technical. It was later rescinded. Here's what that looked like. The fever have been told this technical foul was for Caitlin Clark running into the official. Here's what happened. She let's go to ball spins off of her. I don't see in one world that contact rises to the level of a team. Okay. And they call the foul and then they uncalled the foul because again, it's not even remotely a technical foul. And then people are like racism. Do you want your league to be successful or not? Honestly, you make it not fun. You make it not fun because you're being like this because you're being so stupid and obnoxious. You are making whatever this is. It's barely fun anyway. You're making it super duper not fun. You know, sports should be kind of fun. Element that over the weekend. My kids and I discovered banana ball, which is basically a form of baseball, starring the Savannah bananas. It should not be this. Now speaking of the WNBA on Friday, in his cancer, with whom I'm friendly, is a former center for wide variety of teams, including the Boston Celtics. He declared for the WNBA draft. This is hilarious. After careful concentration, I'll reveal the current eligibility guidelines. I am officially declaring myself a WNBA prospect. If simply declaring who you are is all that's required that I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA. My CMNI have carefully examined the WNBA's eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in May 2027. I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices. I am simply asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone. The rules that represent the very values many WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for. My CMNI are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently and without exception. And I look forward to the WNBA honoring its stated principles. See you at training camp. Okay, so just to state the obvious, in his cancer in the WNBA would be the funniest thing in the history of sports. A 2 to 6/11. And he's a pretty good NBA player. That would be Will's record would be easily within reach easily. He was not the only player to come out of this. Royce White also declared for the 2027 WNBA draft. Well, earlier this week, I made the announcement. I'm transgender. I'm a woman. I'm identified as sometimes identifying as a woman for purposes of basketball, professional basketball. I'd be declaring for the WNBA draft in 2027 as well. I mean, I think I'd be unstoppable. But I'm a team first guy. You know, I'm a past first kind of player. I do the little things. I led my team in all five major stack categories at Iowa State University. So I do a little bit of everything. I do whatever the coach needs me to do. I'll do whatever the girls need me to do. Yeah. Well, now that WNBA is going to have to do something about this. According to the Associated Press, the WNBA wants to set some standards. Apparently, the WNBA commissioner wrote in a memo, quote, "I know many of you have received questions and recently, regarding transgender athlete participation in women's basketball. I expect this topic will continue to receive significant attention." And they're going to have a task force of team presidents and general managers. at a previously scheduled meeting next week. The commissioner said that the league will quote always approach this topic thoughtfully, respectfully, and in alignment with the longstanding values of our league. Secondly, our player eligibility rules unlike the eligibility rules of some other leagues in governing bodies are collectively bargained. Lastly, preserving the integrity of our game and ensuring fair competition will always remain among the league's highest priorities. I don't know. I don't know, man. I think discrimination is coming. You can feel it. You can feel it happening. It's coming and we'll fight that. We'll stand against the discrimination of the WNBA in only allowing women to play. They can't do it. It's not right. It's not right. Gotta let the boys to say their girls or even if they don't say their girls just, you know, sport for everyone, sport for everyone. Alrighty.
