Please don't use gendered language, eh? It's one more thing.
James Jackson
Armstrong and Getty.
Michael
One more thing.
Co-host or Commentator
I haven't heard that clip in forever. We used to play that all the time.
Michael
Yeah, longtime listeners will get that reference. It's from a meeting of the Socialist Democratic Socialists of America meeting a number of years ago when they were their original thing which was soft headed jackasses and college professors who thought give us a chance to implement socialism, we'll do it right. And then it was taken over by
Co-host or Commentator
the militant left and that's when some
Michael
guy stood up and well, that was the. The militant left was like after this. This is back when it was still just the soft heads and professors from my understanding. But anyway, we're going to set up the the listening into Canada's new Democratic Party conference with a fond look back at the democratic socialists before they turned hateful and violent. Do you got to. You have those handy, Michael? Who can forget these clips?
James Jackson
Quick point of privilege. Quick point of personal privilege, guys. First of all, James Jackson, Sacramento. He him. I just want to say can we please keep the chatter to a minimum?
Michael
I'm one of the people who's very, very prone to sensory overload. There's a lot of whispering and chatter going on. It's making it very difficult for me to focus on.
James Jackson
Please, can we just. I know it's. We're all fresh and ready to go, but can we please just keep the chatter to a minimum? It's affecting my ability to focus. Thank you.
Adrian Smith
Thank you, comrade.
Co-host or Commentator
Okay.
James Jackson
Is there a speaker against name chapter pronoun point of personal privilege?
Adrian Smith
Yes.
James Jackson
Please do not use gendered language to, to address everyone.
Adrian Smith
Okay.
Co-host or Commentator
So it became. Yeah, I remember when we were playing that it became very clear that with that crowd you would never be able to get anything done.
Michael
Oh, they can't get out of their own way. Excuse me.
Co-host or Commentator
Point of privilege. Are we just going to ignore the fact that we're having this conversation on land once owned by the Iroquois?
Michael
Exactly Exactly. The intersectional narcissism, small distinctions, self obsession thing.
Co-host or Commentator
They couldn't get anything done.
Michael
One more clip of that, then we'll move on to the Canadians.
James Jackson
And additionally with the, the noise issue, like avoid hissing, avoid waving banners. Right. Because those, there's, there's all sorts of things. If you don't know what to do, show up these. Right. I'm sure there's lots of ways that we can communicate to each other without needing to rely on something that's going to hurt somebody else. We have quiet rooms that are available. There's a range of options of these. Right. Please don't go into that space with anything that's like an aggressive scent, for instance. Right. We don't want to put people in stressful situations that they don't consent to. Right. And we, there are right wing infiltrators who are trying to get in here. But it's going to be really traumatic for people if we're not making an affirmative effort to de escalate each other and de escalate ourselves. Right. Take a deep breath.
Co-host or Commentator
Is this real?
Michael
Yes.
James Jackson
Feel better. Before you say anything way I had forgotten how.
Co-host or Commentator
I had forgotten how over the top that was.
James Jackson
How do they go outside?
Co-host or Commentator
I know. And the idea you could get anything done. A point of privilege. Getting anything done is white supremacy. That's white supremacist language. So getting any. Stop saying we're not going to get anything done.
Michael
Insisting on starting on time is white privilege. That's white supremacy.
Co-host or Commentator
I'd forgotten the various quiet rooms they had, but did not go in there with an aggressive scent.
Michael
All right, here's your, here's your sobering note. You hate how I. You know how I hate to be sober. We've got a couple of generations of college students who believe all this stuff and they think that's the way you show your enlightenment.
Co-host or Commentator
And behold, we have white right wingers who want to infiltrate. We don't need to. We don't need to infiltrate to cause any problems. You just do. You record it and then we'll play black back the clips for people who will realize you're all nuts.
Michael
Oh, the last thing we're going to do is get in your way. Right.
James Jackson
We are not going to stop you.

Michael
On that note, you've got Canada's new Democratic Party Conference, which is trying to harness the energy on the left and become a force in Canadian Politics. And we've got a bunch of audio from their recent convention get together. Uh, we'll just start with 30 Michael and go from there. You should know that. And I'm not sure they self identify this as an Asian trans delegate.
Adrian Smith
There is a point. Let's hear the point on microphone one.
James Jackson
I'm sorry, just real quick. Point of personal privilege. I understand there's very little time and for. For delegates to speak but early on the mic I. It's hard as a racialized and transgender delegate to sometimes use this card and speak up, speak to somebody in front of me in line and ask, hey, this pertains to multiple intersecting parts of my lived experience. I'd like to speak. I was rejected when I talked and it's frustrating when these are my rights being directly under attack right now in Alberta and that a cisgender woman had spoken over me and I understand her rights are important to too. This pertains to her too. But I don't know. I hope that in the future the federal NDP will also have a broader interpretation of the equity cards for speakers.
Co-host or Commentator
That's all. Thank you.
Ad Read Announcer
This is a Wendy's that I know of this.
Michael
The NDP is the new Democratic party. Just so you don't lose track. All right. Adrian Smith is one of the leaders of this. Here's her response.
Adrian Smith
I will invite delegates to assist me in better using the card by forming a straight line. Straight line behind the microphone with a prominently displayed equity card. If I see speakers ahead of you who are not holding a card prominently, it would be wrong of me to guess about their gender identity. And I will come to you. This applies so far according to your rules for gender identities other than a dude. But it is open to us to change our rules as we like as we move forward into the bright and golden future. Thank you friends. Let's hear the balloting co chairs.
Michael
And here's where they discuss further these gender equity cards that I guess everybody has to carry.
Adrian Smith
There's a point of privilege on microphone one. Then we'll go to microphone three. Go ahead, delegate.
James Jackson
Yes, hello. I. I was standing here with my
Ad Read Announcer
gender equity card before you called on the previous speaker.
Adrian Smith
That's my point of privilege that I would like to. I will explain this speaking order which is fixed that I cannot amend, which is the pro con rotation. You can move yourself up a line that you're standing.
James Jackson
I am pro and I, I was.
Adrian Smith
We went oh lord. Pro. And my plan was to go con. The speaker at con mic 3 also has a speaking card yesterday this card
James Jackson
was used in an inappropriate matter. And while I understand in Ontario we know this is equity, even if that this was also used inappropriate in terms of gender, I want everyone to be mindful that these cards for individuals like myself who identify as a black woman
Co-host or Commentator
have no value outside of this space. That's true.
Michael
I must remind you, these people want to run the government. Wait till you hear this one.
Co-host or Commentator
So.
Michael
Oh, so wait, then get to 31 Michael. Yeah,
Co-host or Commentator
it's like Fred Armisen wrote this for Portlandia. I mean, it's just amazing that this is real. So each person has to come up with a way to like, top the previous person on how you thought you were offended. No, no, no, I'm offended.
Michael
Or oppressed.
Co-host or Commentator
Or pressed.
Michael
You oppressed me, but I'm oppressed. Well, that may be, but you.
Co-host or Commentator
No, no, no, no. Sorry. The two of you, you're both oppressing me because of. It's just like climbing the ladder.
Michael
Well, naturally, you've got to go to the chairperson to settle this dispute. Right. And in clip 31, here's how it went.
Ad Read Announcer
Canada cannot and will not be part of the legacy of blood that was built in Iraq, in Palestine, and now in Iran. This is a no question debate. I call this question Adam and chairs, thank you.
Adrian Smith
Your point's quite well made, Speaker. I'll again thank delegates not to call me Madame Chair. Madame Lance. I'm a non binary person. My pronouns are they, them, and their chair is sufficient. Yeah.
Michael
Oh, that's priceless. So this gal brings the thunder about, you know, anti Israel, pro Palestine, blah, blah, blah. And the response is, don't call me Madam Chair. I'm a non binary person. My pronouns are they, them there.
Co-host or Commentator
Oh, my God. We've talked a lot about this. Many words have been written about it. But it's still hard for me to wrap my head around. And like Katie said, how do you go out of your house? How do you engage the world and not just spend all day long miserably offended? They do, I guess they do, yeah.
Michael
There's a little more unintentional comedy. 32, Michael. Point.
Jacob Goldstein
Go ahead.
Michael
It's got point of privilege.
James Jackson
The microphones seem really low today. It's hard to hear everyone at the mic. Between the background noise and the volume in here with the microphones, it's really hard to hear. And the closed captioning also is slower to make it hard to keep up with what's going on.
Michael
That was a lady.
Co-host or Commentator
And what. What way. What did.
Michael
That was.
Co-host or Commentator
Was.
Michael
It was actually a lady.
Co-host or Commentator
What Was that first thing she said her. What was low?
Michael
The mics are too low.
James Jackson
I want to hit every single person we just heard, just to let you know.
Michael
Oh, I know.
Ad Read Announcer
All right.
Michael
At least.
James Jackson
Terrific.
Michael
One more. 33, Michael.
James Jackson
My pronouns are she, her, Ellen say, it's gonna be really hard to follow Rob Ashton. Amazing speaker. We are working class party. I think most of us in this room are behind that. And while we can debate on the specific words and who is and isn't included, I think our constitution needs to recognize that. And I also recognize there is. I'm sorry, I'm just speaking way too fast. Let me slow down for the closed captioning. So I'm so sorry. Get excited.
Co-host or Commentator
Oh, I have the right to say you're a dude. They're all so happy with themselves.
Ad Read Announcer
There's got to be among them, though,
Co-host or Commentator
even the people that buy into that stuff. I would think there'd be some of them say, I'm not sure we can get anything done because we'll never stop with the point of order. Point of order, Madam Chair.
Michael
This is an aggressive Call me Madam Chair.
Co-host or Commentator
I feel like the temperature in the room is aggressive. I temperature sentence.
James Jackson
An aggressive scent.
Michael
Don't call me Madam Chair. Don't correct me. I'm dyslexic. Okay.
Co-host or Commentator
Yeah, exactly.
James Jackson
What did that last guy say? I'm a she. Her laissez fois. What the. What was that?
Michael
Oh, it was. He was also giving his pronouns, which are oddly female in French, I believe.
Co-host or Commentator
Oh, wow. How culturally diverse of him.
Michael
Wow.
Ad Read Announcer
It's incredible.
James Jackson
We can't do stuff like this when
Co-host or Commentator
I'm not allowed to drink.
James Jackson
This is not fair.
Michael
I'd like to attend one of these.
Ad Read Announcer
Just come up with all sorts of
Jacob Goldstein
fake grievances and see what they do.
James Jackson
Oh, please do that.
Co-host or Commentator
Somebody just said, on the other hand, that's ableist.
James Jackson
I don't have any hands.
Co-host or Commentator
Exactly.
Michael
But. But then Michael, when you let on and said, you know what? I was clowning you people, they would say, in what way?
Co-host or Commentator
Point of privilege. My dad was a clown and was abusive.
Michael
Oh, that's point of order, Madam Chair. I mean, they. Them chair. That was a white male who was abused by a clown. We have a black transgender delegate who is abused by a clown. And the white male spoke before the transgender delegate, even though she her. It displayed her them's gender parody card. Madam Chair. I mean, chairperson thing. Point of privilege.
Co-host or Commentator
I find the chair term offensive. And there are parts of the world where they squat. They do not have chairs making you
Michael
Madam that everyone knows.
Co-host or Commentator
Yes, Chair.
Michael
I'm in a wheelchair. I'm an unabled delegate. And it is ableism to refer to a chair.
Co-host or Commentator
Oh, my God.
Michael
Oh, you clown.
Co-host or Commentator
And you can't go far enough to get, like, outside of where it could go right again.
Michael
They would not recognize that you were mocking.
James Jackson
They would have taken everything that you just said very seriously.
Co-host or Commentator
Wow. Boy, that is just unbelievable. God, I hope my kids. I don't think they will. They're pretty hardcore the other direction right now. I just was saying, I say I hope neither one of my kids end up there, but I don't. I don't think that'll happen. They both would react to that the same way we've all react to it. That is too much. I'd forgotten how good that one was for a couple of years ago, though. About the quiet rooms. But don't go in there with an aggressive scent.
Michael
Thank you, comrade.
Co-host or Commentator
Yeah, thank you, comrade.
Michael
I'm calling for a count of the balls in the room. I'm guessing it would be very, very low.
James Jackson
Please do not use gendered language to address everyone. Well, I guess that's it. Guy sounded like he was gonna die.
Co-host or Commentator
I know.
Michael
If he didn't got out. He was so fired up. He was so offended. Please stop using gendered language.

Host: iHeartPodcasts
This episode is a satirical deep dive into the increasingly complex and, in the hosts’ view, self-defeating culture surrounding modern progressive activism. Armstrong & Getty revisit viral moments from the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and dissect recent events at Canada's New Democratic Party (NDP) convention. Throughout, they riff on the confusion and chaos spawned by fast-evolving concepts of privilege, oppression, gender, and intersectionality, all while poking fun at the bureaucratic obstacles that infest such gatherings.
This episode offers an unapologetically mocking examination of the “woke” proceduralism and internal politics within modern leftist circles, using both US and Canadian examples. Armstrong & Getty argue that endless self-examination over privilege and offense, especially regarding language and process, hinders productivity and ultimately turns potential allies into punchlines. Whether listeners find it hilarious or mean-spirited may depend on their own political leanings, but it’s a masterclass in relentless cultural satire.
