Michael Knowles (0:00)

Okay, fellas, since Hollywood can't do anything right anymore, we did their job for them. The Daily Wire's newest movie is an ode to the great funny action films of the 80s and 90s, Good Guys Win, Bad Guys Lose. No one apologizes for it. Check out Run Hide Fight Infidels, now streaming only on The Daily Wire.

Michael Knowles (1:15)

Do you think that you have the skills to qualify for the Women's Basketball League?

SPEAKER_3 (1:20)

Because you're doing exactly what LeBron is doing.

Enes Kanter Freedom (1:23)

Oh my goodness.

Michael Knowles (1:25)

I don't want to see that. I don't want to see a woman get hurt.

Enes Kanter Freedom (1:28)

Wait till I get into that with you.

Michael Knowles (1:37)

I've been a little tough on the WNBA and people have rightly pointed out I'm not the biggest athlete in the world, either by stature or by expertise. So I decided to bring in someone who is one of the biggest athletes in the world, both by stature and expertise. That would be Enes Kanter-Freedom. Enes, thank you for coming on.

Enes Kanter Freedom (1:56)

Thanks for having me, brother.

Michael Knowles (1:57)

So people are criticizing me. They're saying maybe I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to the WNBA. Not only are you an athlete.

Enes Kanter Freedom (2:05)

I know what I'm talking about.

Michael Knowles (2:06)

Yes. Because look, you played, what, 11 seasons in the NBA?

Yeah, but more importantly than that, you might play another 11 seasons in the WNBA if they let you in.

Enes Kanter Freedom (2:15)

Well, only if they let me in.

Michael Knowles (2:17)

Yes.

Enes Kanter Freedom (2:17)

Only if they don't change the rules.

I started to work out. You know, I'm just like, you know, it's like a first day of school. You know, you get excited, you get nervous. I promise I have those feelings right now. So if they don't change the rules, I'm in.

Michael Knowles (2:29)

Now, do you think that, you know, you have the skills to qualify for the women's basketball league?

Enes Kanter Freedom (2:34)

Listen, if that ever happens, there won't be any record standing. I will literally, I might, they might need to get like, I might break every rim that I've played on. I will 100 percent will dunk everything.

Michael Knowles (2:48)

Wow, okay, well.

Enes Kanter Freedom (2:49)

That's my goal. If I don't dunk, it doesn't count.

SPEAKER_5 (2:52)

Yeah, that could be your handicap.

Enes Kanter Freedom (2:54)

100 percent, yeah.

Michael Knowles (2:54)

Okay, well, I need your expertise to weigh in because maybe I've misinterpreted what some of the gals of the WNBA have said. Here's one of the coach ladies describing the whole issue.

SPEAKER_6 (3:08)

What is your stance on men or athletes who test as biological male participating in women's sports? What's your personal stance?

SPEAKER_7 (3:15)

Yeah, I mean, 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. I just don't. 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 at the different levels.

I know growing up, I played with the boys all the time. There aren't girl sports.

SPEAKER_6 (3:41)

Would you welcome a biological male in WNBA?

SPEAKER_7 (3:46)

Again, it's like I don't know when we talk about biological male and scientifically where we are, I think it's a totally different scenario. As I said, I'm not educated enough in terms of transgender and transitioning to give you a smart answer.
