Go to noblegoldinvestments.com Wokeism is dying in this country. It is being crushed, repudiated out of almost every major institution. We see this happening in corporations. We see this with major tech leaders. We're seeing a recentering and this last election was an example of that. Daniel Penney and the news associated with him that he has been acquitted on all charges. Amazing news. We have I believe Judge Jeanine coming up later this hour to discuss this. We have seen a major just rejection of the worst, ugliest diversity, equity, inclusion BS that has been entrenched into our country. However, there is going to be a pushback. The Wokies are just not going to roll over and allow this sort of citizen led movement to go uninterrupted. The Wokies have a hostage and that hostage is a young woman who's a phenomenal athlete by the name of Caitlin Clark. Caitlin Clark is a terrific athlete. She's probably the best known and probably the best female basketball player in the country, if not in the world. I don't know that space very well, but certainly the best known. And she won Time magazine's athlete of the Year. Now I don't even think that was female athlete of the year. I think she won athlete of the year and very well deserved. She almost won the national title at University of Iowa. She took the WNBA by storm. She was snubbed to not go on the U.S. olympic team. But Caitlin Clark is new. She is green. She's been put into the center stage of the WNBA and still trying to navigate. Caitlin Clark has a metaphorical woke DEI gun to her head. She came out in response to this Time magazine article and said just something very disappointing. I don't think she actually believes any of this. I don't think Caitlin Clark has thought deeply about this and maybe if she has, if she's saying the opposite is even worse. I don't think these are Caitlin Clark's values. Instead, I think this is still a remnant of cultural pressure that shows the culture war is ongoing. Caitlin Clark says after winning Athlete of the Year for Time magazine, quote, I wanted to say I've earned every single thing. But as a white person, there is privilege. A lot of these players, those players in the league that have been really good have been black players. This league has been kind of built on them. So wait, what kind of privilege exactly do you have? Caitlin Clark? What privilege do you have as a white WNBA basketball player that a black one has. In fact, you could argue that you've actually been mistreated because you are a white individual in the wnba. A lot of players have been targeting Caitlin Clark this last season. She says, the more we appreciate that and highlight that and talk about that and continue to have brands and companies invest in those players that have made this league incredible, I think it's very important. I have to continue to try and change that. The more we can elevate black women, that's going to be a beautiful thing. But back in June, Clark was unbothered by people using her name to push narratives. She said, quote, it's not something I can control. I don't put too much thought and time into thinking about things like this. To be honest, I don't see a lot of it. She's doing the mandatory sorry, I'm white BS now what? Specifically Caitlin Clark. And I'm not gonna make this about Caitlin Clark. Instead, it is obvious that she has been taken and she is in a hostage situation by the anti white mafia that runs so much of our athletics. No, what exactly was all those hours you spent in the gym? White privilege, Caitlin Clark. Perfecting your objectively good jump shot, making sure that you're in the best possible shape. What privilege do you have? In fact, it's kind of the opposite. In the wnba, it's really hard actually to become the best female basketball player as a white woman. It's an amazing accomplishment. And race is not something necessarily that we gravitate to. What she's doing is that she doesn't want to be bullied. And she's very bothered by not being accepted. She's bothered by people rolling their eyes at her, by people attacking her, by people criticizing her. She is very prone to that kind of criticism. Now, Caitlin Clark is just yet another example of someone that is manipulated by this kind of anti woke mafia. However, an anti white mafia, very woke mafia. I will say that this is a trend that is against the current trajectory. It's not even a trend. It's a movement against the current trajectory. This is the most popular player in WNBA history and it's not even close. What Caitlin Clark should have said is that this is a meritocracy. Honored to have it. I worked my tail off and whoever gets this honor next, they deserve it. She could have just stayed neutral. And let's be very clear, the WNBA wasn't built on black women. It was subsidized by black men in the NBA until Caitlin Clark came around. The WNBA was a just a very unpopular league and Caitlin Clark made it exciting again. She has a magic to her athletic performance. It was largely irrelevant. But Caitlin Clark is being surrounded by anti white black race politics and she has to take the knee. This is her metaphorically taking the knee. And it's understandable. I mean, women are more likely to fall victim to societal pressure and groupthink. They're less likely to be disagreeable. That is why when we say America has become toxically feminine, it takes that masculine energy of one person to stand up against a stupid group criteria and say this doesn't make any sense. I'm not gonna go along with this. And so I'm not even criticizing Caitlin Clark because what should we expect out of her? She's what, 22 or 23 years old. She's part of a athletic organization that she's kind of a rookie at. It's a tough situation, but it goes to show that the Wokies are not just gonna rol that they're going to find targets and they're going to continue to try to piece them off one by one to try and cipher them for their cause. They're trying to keep woke alive. And honestly, I don't even want to watch her play anymore. I'm not going to boycott it. It's just kind of has taken the wind out of the sails. Just kind of like, okay, you're just like all the rest of them. And look, yes, she was being targeted in WNBA games by black female players for race reasons or not, but she was being elbowed in the jaw. She was being. You could highlight reel is just remot remarkable. Caitlin Clark's final WNBA playoff game 2.5 million viewers the best game after Clark was eliminated 929,000 viewers Ratings fell off a cliff when the rookie superstar was done for a season. No one cares, but she's just like the rest of them. And maybe she'll grow and she's young and she'll develop, but she's going against the kind of cultural wins right now. How powerful would have been saying, by the way, did they even ask her about this? Did they? What was the question? What was the premise? Or did she just say this? It's a disappointment, but it shows that the remnant of this cancerous and parasitic ideology is not going to go away. And Caitlin Clark is a great example of someone who America really looked up to, who has now bent the knee to the most disgusting, vile and immoral worldview that still exists in America today. And racist. Hey, this is Charlie Kirk from my friends@besthotgrill.com Football is back and so is tailgating.

It's just so against the vibe of the country, which is what's so perplexing about Caitlin Clark. But it's not perplexing if you understand not just female athletics that is part of it, you have to be honest, but just professional athletics and how it's been captured by the cancer, but how the tumor has metastasized into the WNBA and into the NBA, into the NFL. Now the NFL has started to shut it. Now it will be very interesting to see this. The NBA the NBA is the wokest of all the major sports organizations for many reasons. But there is almost this expectation that if you are a black American in this country that you must be on the left. And the NBA is disproportionately black Americans and the NBA is like 68, 70%, maybe even 75% black. It might even be higher than that. I tracked the numbers a little bit. I used to the current cultural situation in this country is very promising. You have Walmart getting rid of DEI policies. You have more and more people getting away from this idea of inherent anti white ideology. And I don't think Daniel Penney would be walking free if this was 2020 or 2021. We were still under this hypnosis, this Floyd Apalooza woke hypnosis that existed for quite some time and it's going to require courage in every single culture arena. And the answer is almost always you do not take a knee. You do not bend into them. When you cave to this tyrannical mob, it never stops them from hating you. All you've done is make them feel justified in their hate. That is all you've ever done. That is all that actually ends up happening is feeling justified in their hate. And we can't stay by the way, when we're watching and we're seeing President Trump on the King James Bible say so help me God, the fight is not yet over there that is just winning the first inning. Winning the first inning is getting him into office. And now it's going to have to be a full court press of securing the border, doing deportations, no tax on tips, peace, the Middle east, peace between Russia, Ukraine. There are many battles ahead and this is just a nice little reminder that they are not done, that they are going to be coming back now. Caitlin Clark was met with widespread criticism and it's deserved. But you should just kind of cut her a little bit of slack of look, she doesn't know what she's doing. She doesn't have the fortitude or the spine or the wherewithal or the capacity to fight on these types of issues that I wish we should be able to outkick.com writes fans turn on Caitlin Clark as she predictably bent the knee to the insufferable woke mod I mean mob. It's too bad. Look again, she's not a political figure, but it's just such a nauseating statement that she made in Time magazine. Megyn Kelly also blasts Caitlin Clark for self flagellation over white supremacy myth. And you notice when you ask them questions they can never answer those questions. Oh really? There is white privilege in this country. Why is it that 55 to 60% of all murders are committed by black men? How is that white privilege? How are white people to blame for that? Exactly. Oh there's white privilege. Okay, why is it that 55 to 65% somewhere between there of shoplifting, arson are committed by black men? What exactly does that have to do with white privilege? Caitlin Clark set the WNBA single season assist record. She set the rookie scoring record. Explain to me why you as a white person are privileged to be able to do those things in an environment that is definitionally meritocratic. It is definitionally a meritocracy is that as soon as you step on the basketball court you don't get extra points if you're a white person or extra points if You're a black person. Can you dribble the ball, pass it well, shoot with precision? Can you play the game? Blake says don't give them ideas. Lol. I mean, half kidding, by the way. Half kidding that they're going to start to do DEI scoring that Caitlin Clark is going to have to. Her three pointers only count as one. This idea pathogen must be eliminated because it will take every corner of American society. Because if you give them an inch, they will take the entire civilization. All it knows is to grow and to conquer and to destroy. And you just have to wonder who exactly is in Caitlin Clark's ear? I think she's married or her fiance or whatever. She's from Iowa. I mean, you think that most people in Iowa have this kind of belief? Of course not. Like all those late nights where she's shooting free throws when all of her friends are going out and partying and getting drunk. All those late nights when she was training at University of Iowa when she was trying to be the best basketball player in the country. That's white privilege. No, it's hard work privilege, actually. And she really blew an opportunity to make that case. Nobody handed this to me. I worked my tail off. People doubted me. The cameras have been on me my entire career and I always deliver because I work the hardest. Or she just could have stayed neutral. You have to wonder, was she threatened in some way? And the answer is yes. I mean, she has been somewhat physically under threat by a lot of the WNBA wokies. I was going to say something else, but I didn't.
Unknown Speaker
What in you caused you to want to get involved?
I mean, I'm not a confrontational person. I don't really extend myself. And this type of thing is very uncomfortable. All this attention and limelight is very uncomfortable. And I would prefer without it. I didn't want any type of attention or praise or, and I still don't, the guilt I would have felt if someone did get hurt, if he did do what he was threatening to do, would never be able to live with myself. And I'll take a million court appearances and people calling me names and people hating me just to keep one of those people from getting hurt or killed.
Judge Jeanine Pirro
It's a powerful interview done by my friend, an American patriot. You can watch the entire thing on foxnation.com I encourage you guys to check it out. Fox Nation. Judge Denina is with us. Judge, thank you for taking the time. Wonderful interview, Judge. You've been around the criminal justice system your entire life. Being a judge and a district Attorney, what struck you most powerfully about this case and also meeting Daniel Penny personally?
Unknown Speaker
Judge well, first of all, it's good to be able to chat with you. Charlie, a couple of thoughts. Number one, what struck me about this case was the injustice of it. You've got to understand that I have worn the same and stepped in the same shoes as Alvin Bragg. I've been a district attorney who presents cases to the grand jury and prosecutes them. I've been in the same shoes as the judge, a county judge who's trying felony cases. And, you know, the New York law is my wheelhouse. I was stunned with the choice and the decision to prosecute this case. When the police originally allowed Danny Penney to leave, it was clear that this was justified. But once Al Sharpton got in and you have a progressive, leftist, Soros funded da, well then all of a sudden the criminal justice system was going to spin on a racial focus. And you have a white man who they believed was responsible for the death of a black man. So it started there, and it was very disappointing. The DA's office in Manhattan, I thought, was shameful in the way they pursued this case. Their witnesses were shameful. They're wheeling and dealing. And their decision toward the end to dismiss the man, too, after there was a hung jury in the event, in the hopes of getting them to compromise on criminal homicide, that was pretty awful. But for me, meeting Danny Penney, I had met him the week before. I'd gone to dinner with him and his lawyers and who I know very well, his lawyers worked in my office when I was the da. And he was one of the most decent people I've ever met. I mean, you saw this stoic guy, Charlie, for five minutes, not a muscle in his face moved for five weeks. Whatever the prosecutor threw at him, whatever, you know, whatever the medical examiner said, that was clearly a lie, clearly inconsistent with what they had said at the grand jury. He didn't flex a muscle. He was stoic in the midst of total chaos around him. And more than anything, Danny Penny, in my exclusive first interview, was a gentleman. He was a man who doesn't want the limelight. He's not comfortable even talking about this. And by the way, guys, he was classically trained. He's a classical. He's a classic musician. So he was in the String Symphony for several years and he went in the Marines. And he's not a macho man. He's not, as he said, a jar head. You know, he is someone who, you know, didn't want to get involved. He said, but I could never forgive myself if I didn't get involved. Seeing those school kids, seeing the woman with the child. And he said, even I was afraid. So it turns out that Danny Penny was right. He was justified in using force. But remember, it was not the choke that killed Justin Jordan Neely. Jordan Neely had a combination of a psychotic break, he was a schizophrenic. He was on K2, he was overdosing on the K2, he had sickle cell dis. In addition to that, the stress of the whole event caused his heart to stop. So the medical examiner gets up and the chief medical examiner gets up and says at the autopsy, he says, I don't care. I'm not waiting for the toxicology, the histology, the anthropology. As far as I'm concerned, the truth is that this is a guy who choked Jordan Neely. And so they just, they just said cause of death is a homicide. That wasn't true. If they waited for the toxicology, they would have seen the K2. And if they waited for that, they would also have seen the fact that he was someone who was sickling the whole time. So, I mean, God bless Danny Penny. In the end, he is my hero. And you know, we've been talking about what a, what a man who, what masculinity is. It's Danny Penny. He's a hero. He is a guy who has marine training, but he has the courage of a line as well.
Judge Jeanine Pirro
So, Judge, so many takeaways here and you are uniquely qualified to speak about this again, I want people to check out foxnation.com doing a great job with that interview, Judge. You crushed it. It was terrific. Is that although that Daniel Penny was acquitted, do you think that there's still a fear for good Samaritan men to stand up against this sort of behavior? Because look at still what he had to go through wasn't the process, the punishment by Alvin Bragg. Because this young man, this hero, still has years, a year loss. I mean, reputational harm, you name it. Speak about how the next time somebody like this, an incident like this in the subway where people's lives are at risk, the alpha man still might be a little bit less likely to act despite the acquittal.
Unknown Speaker
Well, I, I think that's true. I think that there was something that, about Danny Penny that was so unusual that, you know, he just said he couldn't have lived with himself if he didn't do something. He said and he said a million court appearances and all the name calling and everything Else, you know, he would. He would, in his mind, go back to the people on the train, many of whom stayed after the doors were opened, to say, thank you so much. Thank you for saving my life. But will other men stand up? Will other women stand up? I don't know. I really can't say. I think this case is kind of a double edged sword. On the one hand, you know, if you're inclined not to, you say, I'm not going to get indicted. And if you're inclined to do it, you say, look, he ultimately was acquitted of all of it. But it's not over for Danny. Charlie. Danny is facing a civil lawsuit by Jordan Neely's father. Jordan Neely is suing him for wrongful death, where the preponderance of the evidence is the burden of proof, which is far lower than beyond a reasonable doubt. And the sad part about all this is that Danny Penney knew when he went to the police voluntarily, within minutes of this, he knew he was on K2. And I said to him, you were prescient. How did you know that? He said, I've seen a lot of it, and it makes you more aggressive. Which explains why Jordan Neely was so incredibly strong at the time and why Jordan Neely was able to keep fighting for so many minutes. I mean, they were wrestling on the ground and they needed another person, two people to hold them down. A black person and a Hispanic person came in to try to hold Jordan Neely down as Danny Penney held him. So this whole idea of a race case is bs. Okay? The jury had blacks, Hispanics, and Asians on that subway car were blacks, Hispanics, and white people that they were trying to protect. And the people who helped him hold down Jordan Neely were black and Hispanic. So this was anything but a race case. But the prosecutor's office kept referring to Danny Penny as the white guy. Shameful, Charlie. Shameful.

Roughgreens.com Charlie, I know you care deeply about New York City and the New York greater area. Just what does this even say about the criminal justice system and its current condition in New York that they brought this case to trial? Judge, one minute remaining.
Unknown Speaker
Okay, what it says, okay, what this says is that Alvin Bragg is a corrupt left wing Soros funded prosecutor who could care less about real victims and only cares about political prosecutions. He's got to go. If Hochul doesn't take him out, which he has every right to do, then the people cannot vote for this man. Real victims are out there, Charlie. They're not having arrests made in their cases. And real criminals are being released over and over again because the Democrats think, you know what, it's not fair to keep them in jail. Hogwash. It's not fair to put people in morgues or put people in hospitals or cause them to be so scared they never come out of their house. So in the end, this guy's gotta go. But I also have faith in the jury. Danny Penny said it. He said it took courage for this jury to acquit me. Well, I said, what would you say to them? He said, I want. I would hug them. I would hug them. And there wasn't a dry eyes. I was taping this and I'm looking at all men while I'm taping this thing. Salt of the earth Danny Penny is a hero. He's more than that.

Charlie Kirk
She's the best 10 out of 10. Great patriot. Some breaking news, everybody. That happened in the last 12 hours. Breaking overnight is actually the better way to say it. Senator Bill Cassidy from Louisiana who voted to convict Donald Trump in the second impeachment trial, now has a formal primary challenger. He is being challenged by John Fleming, who is the former representative, actually a former congressman. This is a series serious primary challenger, by the way. Serious primary challenger. He was a congressman. He is now the state Treasurer of the state of Louisiana. And this is now official. He has announced the primary challenge. Actually, this happened about five days ago. I must have missed it. I'm sorry. I apologize. This wasn't overnight. It was written up in playbook overnight, which makes me think that. But here it is. And we very well might get involved in this one. Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy draws primary challenge from former Hill colleague John Fleming. Was U.S. representative for Louisiana's 4th congressional district. After leaving Congress, he was a Trump administration appointee for Deputy Assistant Secretary of Health and Information Technology and Reform. He won the 2023 Louisiana Treasurer election with 65% of the vote. He is elected statewide very, very well liked. This is a serious primary challenge. This is not just some random guy that's going after Senator Cassidy. And Senator Cassidy is another one of those creatures of the deep state of the leviathan who constantly works against the president and our agenda. And so look, there's going to be primary challenges in all these deep red states. And you know our criteria. Susan Collins is marked safe from a primary. She's got to deal with a very, very difficult thicket of a general election there. If you are in a 50, 50 state, we're not going to primary you. It's foolish, it's not wise, it's not prudent. But if you are in a state like Louisiana, like South Dakota, like Idaho, there's going to be a lot of primary challengers that are going to pop up. And people say, but Charlie, what did they do wrong? They've spent money to Ukraine. That was against the wishes of the base. They did nothing to secure the southern border. And the red wave needs to step in and sweep these states. And a state like Louisiana, which is one of the reddest states in the country that yes, prior and previously had statewide elected Democrats, including Senator Landrieu, actually. But that's from an era long past that is a pre Trump Republican Party. I am not even concerned about how we would be able to get this done. Remember a Fleming, John Fleming was a Freedom Caucus member in very good standing with President Trump. And maybe it's time for us to retire Senator Bill Cassidy. Look, we are not going to put up with these Senate Republicans that try to overrule the will of the people. The American people give a mandate. President Trump gets his Cabinet. I would be Blake. Let's see how fast you can operate. Who did Bill Cassidy vote for with Merrick Garland and Lloyd Austin? I'd be really interested. Did he go vote for Joe Biden's nominees. A referendum was presented in front of the American people. And more and more primary challengers are going to surface. Mike Rounds might be next. Risch might be next. Shelley Moore. Capitol might be next in Virginia. Cindy Hyde Smith in Mississippi might be next. Eventually, Roger Wicker. All of these hangovers of these remnants of the Cold War where they think that Russia is our biggest enemy and they couldn't care less about the southern border and they do nothing to cut spending. We're going to remove every single one of them eventually. Not this cycle, but it's going to happen and they know it, too. Political playbook rights. By the way, it's a great title, Inside Inside Trump's Game of Senate Hardball, another article in Politico. It writes for Trump's allies, Rhino hunting season is in full swing. And it actually captures us in great detail there of what Turning Point action is planning to do. The same way that we said, you got Ronna. Maybe it'll be like we got Cassidy or you got Rounds. You got Risht. Yep, Cassidy was yes on both. Bill Cassidy voted for Merrick Garland and Lloyd Austin. Well, as we say, the primaries are going to continue until morale improves. Thanks so much for listening, everybody. Email us. As always, freedomarliekirk.com thanks so much for listening and God bless.

Host: Charlie Kirk
Guests: Judge Jeanine Pirro
Charlie Kirk opens the show by promoting America Fest, highlighting its lineup of prominent conservative figures such as Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck, Steve Bannon, and Donald Trump Jr. While this segment primarily serves as an advertisement, it sets the tone for the episode's focus on conservative activism and the cultural battles faced by activists like Kirk and his organization, Turning Point USA.
Charlie Kirk delves into the Caitlin Clark controversy, critiquing her remarks on white privilege in the WNBA. He scrutinizes her statements following her recognition as Time Magazine's Athlete of the Year, arguing that Clark's acknowledgment of white privilege undermines her athletic achievements.
Notable Quotes:
Charlie Kirk (04:30):
"As a white person, there is privilege. A lot of these players in the league that have been really good have been black players. This league has been kind of built on them."
Charlie Kirk (10:45):
"What privilege do you have as a white WNBA basketball player that a black one has? In fact, you could argue that you've actually been mistreated because you are a white individual in the WNBA."
Kirk argues that Clark is being pressured by an "anti-white mafia" entrenched in American athletics, suggesting that her statements are a result of cultural coercion rather than genuine belief. He emphasizes that meritocracy should prevail in sports, asserting that Clark's exceptional performance is a product of hard work rather than any inherent privilege.
Furthermore, Kirk connects this controversy to broader trends of Wokeism declining in major institutions, citing examples like corporations and tech leaders retracting their support for progressive agendas. He positions Clark's situation as emblematic of the ongoing culture war, where individuals are targeted for expressing views contrary to entrenched progressive ideologies.
The podcast features an in-depth interview with Judge Jeanine Pirro, who provides her perspective on the Daniel Penny case. Daniel Penny was acquitted on all charges related to an incident that resulted in the death of Jordan Neely. Judge Pirro criticizes the prosecution's handling of the case, highlighting racial biases and procedural injustices.
Notable Quotes:
