Riley Gaines recaps her courtside experience at the Indiana Fever game, from Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell's standout performance to the very different atmosphere compared with Riley's previous WNBA trip in Minneapolis. Riley also responds to the public conversation surrounding Simone Biles, Sophie Cunningham, Michael Buckley, and the ongoing debate over protecting women's sports. She explains why she still wants to reach out to Simone, why Sophie Cunningham's stance matters, and what the WNBA's handling of these cultural flashpoints reveals about the league's balancing act. Plus: Riley and Louis talk travel with an 11-month-old, seeing Brittney Griner in person, the power of sports to bridge political divides, and why Friday's episode will be an Ask Me Anything.

On this week's episode of the RealClearInvestigations Podcast, RCI Editor J. Peder Zane and RCI Senior Reporter James Varney speak with sports columnist Matt Calkins, who resigned from the Seattle Times after the newspaper killed his column that argued it is not hateful to oppose biological men playing women's sports. On the news round-up, Zane and Varney discuss a series of stories on the media including: a PJ Media piece on California's chilling new law Republicans have dubbed the “Stop Nick Shirley Act”; a Washington Free Beacon analysis showing how the New York Times uses the term Islamophobia to delegitimize viewpoints and shut down debate; and an arbitrator's ruling that the Washington Post must rehire an opinion columnist the paper had fired for inflammatory tweets regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk. 00:00 Cold Open: "I Don't Think I Can Do It Anymore" 00:32 Welcome & Intro to This Episode 00:41 News Roundup: California's "Stop Nick Shirley Act" 06:34 The NYT's "Islamophobia" Label (Washington Free Beacon) 09:18 WaPo Arbitrator Reinstates Columnist Fired Over Charlie Kirk Tweets 13:35 Introducing Matt Calkins 13:37 The Column That Got Him Fired: Sophie Cunningham & Trans Athletes 18:37 Three Previous Columns the Seattle Times Spiked 22:06 Inside the Newsroom: Book Clubs, Activism & the Overton Window 27:17 Is Seattle Sports Media Just Reflecting the City? 32:57 The Decision to Resign 35:17 Seattle Times vs. San Diego Union-Tribune 37:02 Why Newsrooms Keep Losing Readers 39:31 Is the Trans-in-Sports Debate Media-Driven? 42:43 What's Next for Matt Calkins (Substack) 43:44 Closing & Thanks Articles Discussed in This Podcast: Matt Calkins: I Was a Sports Columnist at the Seattle Times for 11 years.

It's Casual Friday on The Mattjority Report On today's program: RFK. Jr appears to have allegedly committed perjury when he testified before Congress that his trip to America Samoa had nothing to do with vaccines. A leaked correspondence with the America Samoa Government ahead of Kennedy's trip to the island mentions vaccines at least 8 times. Heather 'Digby' Parton joins Sam for a pretaped interview to recap the week's news. In the Fun Half: Matt is joined by RM Brown Rep Mike Lawler (R-NY) is asked what the GOP pitch on healthcare is heading into the midterms and his answer is to brag about how many people his party have successfully kicked off of Medicare and SNAP. Jesse Watters shares his plan for healthcare, which is just eat right, exercise and get a job. Rep. Josh Gottheimer - a Democrat - goes on CNN to campaign against fellow Democrat, Abdul El-Sayed and condemn Hasan Piker. As Dems trip sprint to every media outlet to scream about Hasan Piker and "antisemitism" on the GOP side there is an actual Nazi and KKK problem. Candidate for Senate in Georgia, Mike Collins, whose son-in-law is a known white supremacist influencer, has a staffer who posted pictures of him in a Klan robe. I'm sure that it's just two bad apples and has no bearing on Mike Collins' personal views. Los Angeles Sparks forward Cameron Brink calls Enes Kanter a "stupid piece of shit". Megan Rapinoe breaks down how Indiana Fever bench player Sophie Cunningham is in cahoots with the minds behind project 2025 which aims to eliminate Title IX. Enes Kanter continues his crusade to "defend women" by insulting Cameron Brink's body. Michael Knowles cries over Hasan singing the "I Am Charlie Kirk" song. All that and more.

The speaker also touches on the comments made by WNBA coach Cheryl Reeve, who suggested that people should educate themselves on the topic.

The WNBA is experiencing unprecedented growth, but with that spotlight comes a dark side that we need to talk about. In this episode, we dive deep into the racial divide that is currently overshadowing the game.First, I break down the recent WNBA issues involving Enes Kanter Freedom and what that dialogue reveals about the league's current climate. Then, we get into the center of the storm: the Angel Reese vs. Caitlin Clark rivalry. How did an incredible on-court matchup turn into a massive, toxic racial divide among fanbases? We also explore why Caitlin Clark brings so much cultural controversy when white WNBA superstars before her didn't face this exact type of polarizing dialogue.Finally, I discuss Sophie Cunningham's impact on the league and why she might be bad for the WNBA right now. We look at how she adds fuel to the fire of these racial issues, particularly when it comes to her fans making racist comments and stoking division on social media.This is a heavy but necessary conversation.

The Seattle Times is in full damage-control mode after spiking a column by veteran sports writer Matt Calkins that questioned trans athletes competing in women's professional basketball — and then watching Calkins resign in protest rather than stay quiet. The WNBA world isn't letting the paper off the hook, calling the move a "horrendous look" that exposed exactly how far Seattle's media establishment will go to protect progressive orthodoxy from its own staff.Calkins had written about Sophie Cunningham — Caitlin Clark's fearless on-court enforcer — and the fairness question her presence puts front and center in women's sports. When Storm co-owner Katie Wilson and the broader Seattle institutional apparatus made the temperature too uncomfortable, the Times killed the column instead of defending its own writer. Calkins decided that was his exit. You don't spike a reporter's work and keep them; you just find out how long they'll tolerate it.This is bigger than one buried sports column. It's a snapshot of how every major institution in Seattle — the franchise, the paper, the arena politics — enforces ideological conformity on its own people until someone finally walks out the door. The fact that the WNBA world itself is calling it a horrendous look tells you how badly the Times miscalculated.CHAPTERS0:00 ‘Horrendous Look' – WNBA World Rips…1:42 Seattle Times Kills Trans Sports Column2:18 Sophie Cunningham's Role as WNBA…3:55 WNBA Forms Committee to Define Woman5:14 Matt Calkins' Suppressed Female…6:01 Sophie Cunningham: Protect Girls in…7:05 Matt Calkins Resigns After Column Is…7:44 Puyallup Female Wrestler Assaulted by…9:09 Sophie Cunningham Supporters Rally at…10:51 Storm Co-Owner Suspended After Arena…12:02 NBA Players Would Dominate the WNBA13:18 How Seattle Times Killed Calkins' Column14:28 Inside the Seattle Times' Progressive…15:58 Calkins' Other Stories Seattle Times…17:09 The WNBA's Trans Athlete Checkmate19:22 Calkins' Farewell Letter to Seattle…Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily commentary on Pacific Northwest politics and the stories Seattle media would rather not run.#NFRP #SeattleTimes #SophieCunninghamGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

What happens when you simply refuse to go along with what you know is wrong?In this episode of Speak Up! Virginia, Candi Cushman and Victoria Cobb look at two courageous women who found themselves at the center of national controversy after standing their ground.

On today's show, The Southeastern Conference (SEC) has officially banned former NFL, NBA, and WNBA players from returning to play college sports within the conference. Following a unanimous 16-0 vote by conference presidents, chancellors, and athletic directors, the SEC established independent roster standards to halt a recent wave of released professional athletes attempting to reclaim college eligibility through local court injunctions. Charles Barkley is not holding back on why he thinks the WNBA has mishandled Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham, and the attention around them. Is Barkley right that the league is hurting itself, or is the controversy just part of pro sports? As the Lindsay Clancy trial moves closer to a conclusion, the case is raising painful questions about mothers who kill their children, mental illness, and how the justice system handles crimes like this. President Trump suggested renaming Lake Ontario “Lake America" as trade tensions with Canada continue to grow. Do you support that, or is it just political trolling? And if we're renaming things, what else has to go: Canadian bacon, Canadian whiskey?

Sophie Cunningham lit the internet on fire when she said we need to protect the safety of girls and the integrity of women's sports, and the conversation quickly turned into another political battleground even though the underlying question is really about biology, anatomy, and physiology. Inside today's episode, I break down what the research says about testosterone suppression, puberty, and the physiological differences between men and women that don't disappear just because testosterone levels come down.

Riley Gaines has become one of America's most outspoken voices in the fight to protect women and girls in sports—and she says the battle is far from over. The 12-time NCAA All-American swimmer joins Erick to react to a major Supreme Court victory allowing states to protect women's athletics based on sex. But Gaines warns that with nearly half the country still lacking such protections, fairness and safety for female athletes can still depend on where they live. Riley also weighs in on WNBA star Sophie Cunningham speaking out on keeping men out of Women's Sports.  Then, she takes viewers back to the moment that changed her life: competing against the male athlete, Lia Thomas at the 2022 NCAA championships and being required to share a locker room with a biological male. Gaines describes the experience as one of profound humiliation and betrayal—and explains why it ultimately compelled her to speak out. Her message to young women facing pressure: “Courage is contagious.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Rich & Ken with Ted Johnson | Monday 8/24/2026

In Episode 252 of The Black Lincoln Collective Comedy Podcast, Parker opens the show by admitting he forgot to write the intro, which is honestly one of the cleaner ways a BLC episode can start. The crew celebrates the newly expanded website archive, clarifies that the site does not really look new except for one button that leads to a million other things, and then immediately shifts into the main business of the week: selling chocolate. Parker's daughter is selling World's Finest Chocolate, which gives him the chance to pitch Fred and Allan like a desperate school-fundraiser middleman. The bars are smaller, more expensive, and allegedly still the world's finest because the label says so. That turns into a full candy-hustle bit about kids buying their own supply, cold-calling family members, door-to-door sales, QR codes, and Parker realizing he is paying taxes, paying for the trip, and now paying again through chocolate. Then the crew spins the whole thing into the Ten Chocolate Commandments, a ridiculous street-sales parody about never getting high on your own supply, keeping family and business separated, watching for the chocolate police, and staying dangerous in the candy streets. The sales talk leads to scam talk. The guys riff on kids pretending to collect donations for football teams or lawn-care businesses, the minimal investment required to look official, and the power of a clipboard, a t-shirt, and just enough confidence to make adults hand over five dollars. Then it's time for sports. Football is coming back, Fred's son is starting middle school football, and the crew talks about playing on a tiny team, getting number 62 instead of Fred's old number 55, and being thrown into a scrimmage against a private-school football program that beats them 56 to 6. That leads into a viral story about a 16-year-old girl tackling a middle school football player from the sideline, which sends the guys into jokes about family loyalty, The Waterboy, sideline justice, and why the wrong person may have been on the team. The sports segment continues through WNBA chatter, awkward naming jokes, Usain Bolt, and a Chinese humanoid robot reportedly running faster than Bolt's top speed. The guys compare Bolt racing the robot to John Henry battling the steam drill, then spend several minutes realizing, debating, and rediscovering that John Henry dies in the story. That somehow becomes a broader conversation about man vs. machine, old Fox TV specials, Survivor, and why fighting technology is futile. Naturally, they consider letting AI do the podcast next week. Before the break ends, Parker brings up Ray Chapman, the Cleveland shortstop who died after being hit by a pitch in 1920, because apparently “sports” now includes tragic baseball trivia and collectible cards from the 1970s. After the break, the crew plays Would You Rather, and the episode gets even more unhinged. The questions start with waking up naked in a forest five miles from home or in underwear at work, then move into food vs. adult activities, erasing memories, AC vs. internet, being respected vs. being elite at something nobody values, punching or talking out of situations, nervous glitter sneezes, warm maple syrup sweat, mood-ring skin, thought-whispering hair, bean-sized men, man-sized beans, toes for $500,000, dog-controlled internet, cats writing traffic laws, three years in prison vs. two weeks in the Jurassic period, and underwater cave diving. By the end, the guys have debated survival, shame, sticky syrup, dinosaurs, toes, caves, cavemen, and whether Parker is a caveman or just a man cave. It is fundraising, football, weird sports, robot anxiety, and impossible choices in one very sticky episode. #blcpodcast #podcastingforthepeople #funny #podcast #greenvillesc #scpodcast #yeahthatgreenville Listen at: https://americasfavoritepodcast.com Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blcpodcast/ Check us out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blcpodcast/ Buy Fred and Allan Beer: https://www.patreon.com/blcworld

In this hard-hitting episode of The Dominic Carter Show, Dominic tackles the deep cultural, judicial, and moral divisions fracturing modern America with his signature unfiltered commentary. First, he breaks down the controversial Texas track meet murder appeal, addressing a judge's denial of a new trial for Carmelo Anthony for the stabbing of Austin Metcalf and confronting listeners who argue the victim's bullying past excuses Anthony's chilling actions. The cultural battleground then shifts to Brooklyn's Barclays Center, where dueling protests clash over WNBA star Sophie Cunningham's defense of women's sports, followed by Dominic's sharp critique of an activist federal judge blocking President Trump's 75-country immigrant visa suspension. Finally, the episode explores incredible resilience and tragic loss, highlighting a New York mother's miraculous survival of a savage throat-slashing attack on an Arizona trail and mourning Allison Romani, a Long Island mother of four who tragically died in a swimming pool accident just hours before a dream trip to Paris. Filled with raw, unfiltered listener call-ins, this episode is a powerful, fast-paced demand for parental accountability, social order, and justice.

Spouting Off with Karen Kataline Porcelli and Kataline 7-30-26 FINAL Accountability, Culture Wars, Iran, and the Voices That Reach Us Summary Fauci, Pardons, and Accountability The conversation opens with Vic Porcelli, Ken Williams, and Karen Kataline discussing Anthony Fauci, recent questioning, and whether he might face meaningful accountability. Kataline argues that Fauci's use of the Fifth Amendment, the scope of a presidential pardon, and questions surrounding authorization of an autopen pardon deserve further scrutiny. She describes Fauci in extremely condemnatory terms and compares his conduct to historical medical experimentation, while Ken expresses pessimism that any consequences will ultimately follow. Kataline pushes back against giving up entirely and says she hopes multiple investigations and disclosures will eventually become impossible for the public to ignore. The hosts also joke about media treatment of Fauci and play a montage of earlier broadcast voices praising his candor and service. Throughout this section, claims about criminality, pardons, and medical wrongdoing are opinions and allegations made by the speakers, not independently established facts within the transcript. Gain-of-Function, COVID, and Institutional Distrust The discussion then turns to gain-of-function research, COVID-19, testing, vaccines, pharmaceutical companies, and the speakers' distrust of institutions that shaped the pandemic response. Vic says he does not pretend to fully understand gain-of-function research and questions the logic of altering viruses in ways that could make them transmissible to humans. Ken and Karen discuss their understanding of the term and speculate about motives, laboratory research, and whether financial incentives influenced decisions. Pfizer, testing, vaccines, and Fauci's prior statements are all discussed critically, with the speakers arguing that important questions remain unanswered. Kataline broadens the subject into a larger political argument, portraying pandemic policies and ideological conformity as part of an attack on American freedom. The conversation later returns to masking, where she describes forced face coverings as symbols of submission and connects that reaction to her wider concerns about political and cultural control. Sophie Cunningham, Caitlin Clark, and WNBA Culture A second major segment focuses on Sophie Cunningham, Caitlin Clark, and growing interest in the WNBA. Kataline praises Cunningham's toughness, athletic ability, background at the University of Missouri, and public comments about sex and sports. She says she has become much more interested in women's basketball and now records games so she does not miss them. The speakers discuss Cunningham's defense of Caitlin Clark, protests around a Seattle game, and the hostile treatment they believe both players have received. They interpret some of the conflict through a racial and cultural lens, arguing that resentment of successful white athletes reflects a broader increase in racial hostility. The conversation also includes lighter basketball banter about Larry Bird, Tyrese Haliburton, unusually tall players, and Robert Wadlow of Alton. Iran, Israel, and Political Strategy The hosts and Kataline next discuss Iran, Israel, J.D. Vance, Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, and possible political strategy leading into the midterm elections. Kataline says she was concerned by earlier criticism of Israel but wonders whether some public positioning might be part of a larger strategy involving Iran and Gulf states. The participants repeatedly acknowledge that they are speculating about Trump's plans, timing, military threats, diplomacy, and the possibility of Iranian surrender. Kataline is highly pessimistic that Iran's leadership will deal honestly with the West and refers to religious beliefs about martyrdom and the Twelve Imams. The segment then shifts to a Boy George song supporting Israel and Jewish people, which deeply moves Kataline. She expresses gratitude toward non-Jews who support Israel and describes Jewish people as "canaries in the mineshaft" whose treatment can foreshadow wider dangers. Islam, Communism, Sharia, and Cultural Conflict In a later segment, the group discusses a social-media post claiming that Islam and communism have been among history's most destructive ideological forces. Kataline argues that leftist politics, communism, and Islamist movements can temporarily cooperate because each sees the other as useful in weakening existing institutions. The hosts play an audio clip from an Iranian political refugee in Canada who says he has lived under Islamic law and fears growing accommodation of Islamist demands. Kataline extends the discussion to refugees from communist countries who recognize political patterns they believe resemble the systems they escaped. The group also discusses hijabs, burqas, Sharia law, and masking, framing compulsory covering as a loss of identity or a symbol of submission. These broad claims about religions, ideologies, political parties, and social groups are the speakers' own interpretations and are preserved as such rather than presented as neutral conclusions. Health, Uncertainty, and the Butterfly Effect Amid the political discussion, Vic describes a recent headache and elevated blood pressure, saying his wife checked him and that he contacted his doctor and oncologist. Karen urges him not to be macho about medical symptoms and to seek professional attention. A subsequent discussion of a reported death becomes a broader point about how quickly people adopt conspiracy theories before reliable information is available, with both Vic and Karen defending the value of simply saying, "I don't know," when facts are uncertain. The episode then closes on a personal reflection prompted by Good Morning, Vietnam and Robin Williams' portrayal of radio broadcaster Adrian Cronauer entertaining American servicemen. Vic becomes emotional describing the moment when the broadcaster realizes how much his voice means to soldiers who may never return home, connecting it to the uncertainty radio hosts often feel about whether anyone is truly affected by what they say. Karen tells him that meaningful work can touch people even when the person doing it never sees the reaction, while Vic contrasts radio with his earlier work as a cake artist, where customers' responses were immediate. Kataline invokes the "butterfly effect" as a metaphor for the unseen influence of words, ending the conversation with appreciation for the ways people can affect and change one another for the better.

DJ Oti tényleg Magyarország legnépszerűbb DJ je? És egyáltalán DJ nek kell lennie ahhoz, hogy 65 ezer ember tomboljon a produkciójára?   Ebben az epizódban Pozsonyi Attilával, vagyis DJ Pozsival ültem le beszélgetni, akivel nemcsak évtizedes barátság köt össze, hanem a zene, Amerika és a DJ kultúra is folyamatosan keresztezi az életünket.  Pozsi most a DJX miatt érkezett Amerikába, de az útja különösen érdekesen alakult: közvetlenül előtte ott volt DJ Oti hatalmas budapesti buliján, majd Amerikában megnéztük a Beatstockot is, ahol a 80 as és 90 es évek legendás előadói léptek színpadra. Ez adta az ötletet ahhoz, hogy egymás mellé tegyük a két teljesen különböző produkciót. Az egyik oldalon DJ Oti, egy tudatosan felépített karakter Sebestyén Balázs köré, aki nem klasszikus értelemben vett DJ, mégis elképesztő tömeget mozgatott meg. A másik oldalon a Beatstock, ahol több tucat eredeti előadó és olyan nevek jelentek meg, akiknek a zenéin egy teljes generáció nőtt fel.  Pozsi saját pontrendszert is készített a két rendezvényről. Beszélünk látványról, hangtechnikáról, színpadtechnikáról, vendéglátásról, jegyárakról, lineupról és természetesen a közönség létszámáról is. Meglepő módon több kategóriában éppen a magyar produkció jött ki erősebben. Pozsi szerint vizuálisan és színpadtechnikában is komolyabb volt a budapesti show.   De innen indul az igazán érdekes kérdés.   Mitől DJ valaki 2026 ban? A technikai tudástól? Attól, hogy tökéletesen mixel? Attól, hogy tud scratchelni? Vagy attól, hogy képes több tízezer ember figyelmét irányítani és egy egész estét élménnyé alakítani? Pozsi szerint a DJ szakma az elmúlt évtizedekben jelentősen megváltozott. A bakelitet felváltotta a CD, majd a laptop, a pendrive és az egyre automatizáltabb technika. Közben a hangsúly egyre inkább áttevődött a karakterre, a brandre és a showra. A beszélgetésben visszamegyünk egészen az 1993 as DMC világáig, ahol még egészen más jelentése volt annak, hogy ki számít jó DJ nek.  Szóba kerül DJ Bobo, 2 Unlimited, Arthur Baker és Kool DJ Red Alert is, valamint az, hogy Amerikában milyen tisztelet övezi azokat az előadókat és DJ ket, akik évtizedekkel korábban meghatározó szerepet játszottak egy műfaj kialakulásában.    Beszélünk arról is, hogy valójában mire veszünk jegyet egy koncertre. A zenére? Az előadóra? A nosztalgiára?   Vagy egyszerűen arra az érzésre, hogy ott voltunk valamin, amiről mindenki beszél? Innen jutunk el Azahriah és PamKutya példájához is. Miért alakul ki bizonyos események körül az az érzés, hogy oda egyszerűen el kell menni? Hogyan lesz egy produkcióból kulturális esemény, és mikor kezd el fontosabbá válni a történet, mint maga az előadó?  A beszélgetés második felében előkerül a DJX Atlantic City is. Pozsi elmeséli, mit látott a DJ szakma egyik nagy amerikai találkozóján, az amatőr versenyzőktől a komoly scratch DJ kig, egészen a látványra és showra építő produkciókig.    Aztán teljesen más irányba kanyarodunk. Beszélünk a WNBA ről, Caitlin Clarkról és Sophie Cunninghamről, valamint arról, hogyan tud egy sportág iránti érdeklődést néhány karakter, rivalizálás és konfliktus teljesen új szintre emelni. Felmerül a kérdés is: ha eltűnik a hype, megmarad e maga a sport iránti érdeklődés?  A végére pedig talán egy még fontosabb gondolathoz jutunk el. Egy bizonyos életkor után lehet, hogy nem tárgyakat kell gyűjteni, hanem élményeket. Utazásokat, koncerteket, találkozásokat és történeteket, amelyekből később valóban marad valami.    Ha érdekel a DJ kultúra, a showbiznisz működése, a 90 es évek zenéje, Amerika és Magyarország közötti különbségek, vagy egyszerűen szereted azokat a beszélgetéseket, amelyek egyik témából természetesen átkanyarodnak a következőbe, akkor ezt az epizódot neked készítettük.   Iratkozz fel a MÓKA Podcast csatornára, nyomj egy like ot, és írd meg kommentben: Szerinted DJ Oti DJ?

Matt Calkins quit the Seattle Times after it spiked his column defending Sophie Cunningham. Refusing to affirm gender dysphoria is not hate, fear, or discrimination. It is reality. Cathy Engelbert and the WNBA smear critics as haters while the contract never defines a woman. Calkins paid with his job in LGBTQ-friendly Seattle. That is biblical courage, not transphobia. He walked away rather than wear the Seattle Times' smear. The alphabet mafia rules the language. Washington votes on girls' sports in November. "Fearless" also covers Joe Burrow threatening the Bengals this season, Fernando Mendoza's Thursday night exhibition against Houston, and Angel Reese's big night on the court against the Sparks. ➢​​Today's Sponsors PreBorn has helped rescue more than 400,000 babies, and every single day, they continue that work by offering mothers something powerful and life-changing: an ultrasound.

The WNBA may have just walked into one of the most spectacular ideological traps I have ever seen. Caitlin Clark brings unprecedented attention to women's basketball, and somehow she becomes the center of a culture war over race, privilege, and identity. Then her teammate Sophie Cunningham says the obvious thing out loud, and two former male NBA players, Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White, announce they're entering the 2027 draft as transgender women, so the league has to answer the question everybody's been dancing around. Here's my take: sometimes the most merciful thing you can do with a false idea is let it play itself out to its logical conclusion. You can rename reality and rewrite the rulebook, but when the whistle blows, reality gets the final possession, because truth belongs to God. So pull up a chair, grab your popcorn, and let's watch what happens next.

American sports have always been political. But it seems like now more than ever, the WNBA has become a hyperfixation for the right wing. Indiana Fever's Sophie Cunningham and Caitlin Clark have emerged as avatars for Conservatives, while the White House seems intent on stoking the flames of the culture wars that have erupted over race, gender and sexual orientation. Marisa sits down with Howard Bryant, sports correspondent for NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday, to talk about the latest dustups, who's to blame and whether it's on the athletes to push back.  Check out Political Breakdown's weekly newsletter, delivered straight to your inbox.

For weeks the folks at Fox kept telling their audience that diehard communist revolutionaries were on a mission to destroy the American way of life. The movement started in deep blue congressional districts in New York City but was quickly spreading across the nation to envelop the heartland.Thanksgiving celebrations would be canceled; football games would be replaced by Pagan transgender drum circles and air conditioners would be confiscated by the state and smashed by blue-haired women studies majors.On the night of Wisconsin's primary when it became clear that the Democratic Socialist gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong would be defeated by a moderate, I could almost hear a primal scream coming from the offices of Fox News headquarters in midtown Manhattan.Every script for nearly every program was going to have to be rewritten. Even though Hong didn't win the folks at Fox News kept talking about her for days after the election.The network also made a slight adjustment in its messaging. Both Brian Kilmeade and Ainsley Earhardt sang the praises of free market economies and daring bold entrepreneurs. Miranda Devine from the NY Post and folks from Fox Business warned of the dangers of government run healthcare systems.Fox News also managed to stretch a minor scandal about a statement made by Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham of the WNBA into a four-week story. Cunningham made a statement about excluding transgender athletes in women's sports and the public reacted both negatively and positively to her opinion.It was astonishing to watch the network react with such panic and indignation over an incident where no one was fired or sanctioned and no actual transgender athlete existed.The folks at Fox News also avoided talking about the war with Iran. The network still covered it but segments about the conflict were short and vague. This is a public episode.

The Christian Arcand Show | Wednesday 8/19/2026

Joe reacts to the economic fallout of NYC Mayor Mamdani's second home tax proposal, which is sending major businesses packing for Texas and Miami. He shifts focus to Florida's primary results, dissecting "socialist" Angie Nixon's controversial drag show comments, and exposes the questionable math and legality of LA Mayor Karen Bass's campaign match program. Joe also critiques South Carolina Senate hopeful Darlene Graham's viral foreign policy blunder, analyzes Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear's "big tent" defense of progressive platforms, and compares Iran's geopolitical stall tactics to boxer Tony Tucker surviving Mike Tyson. Finally, the show honors Bill Clinton's 80th birthday with a classic SNL throwback, features Mike Pence's take on political extremes during the "Cat's Corner" segment and closes with WNBA talk about WNBA "villains" Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham.

Teenage hoodlums – predominantly black – invade public spaces and fight each other en masse in a trend called "teen takeovers"; Florida proves the GOP isn't too online but the Democrats are; and Sophie Cunningham is the last normal person in the WNBA.

Dan Beyer and Monse Bolanos get into the growing fracture between the WNBA players and their commissioner. Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham and the rest of the players already won a huge jump in pay.

And we play the debut edition of Name That Team.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
