00:02:06.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:02:53.000 Wokeism is dying in this country.
00:02:55.000 It is being crushed, repudiated out of almost every major institution.
00:03:00.000 We see this happening in corporations.
00:03:01.000 We see this with major tech leaders.
00:03:03.000 We're seeing a recentering, and this last election was an example of that.
00:03:08.000 Daniel Penny and the news associated with him that he has been acquitted on all charges.
00:03:12.000 Amazing news.
00:03:13.000 We have, I believe, Judge Jeanine coming up later this hour to discuss this.
00:03:18.000 We have seen a major...
00:03:22.000 Just rejection of the worst, ugliest diversity, equity, inclusion BS that has been entrenched into our country.
00:03:33.000 However, there is going to be a pushback.
00:03:36.000 The Wokies are just not going to roll over and allow this sort of citizen-led movement to go uninterrupted.
00:03:43.000 The Wokies have a hostage, and that hostage is a young woman who's a phenomenal athlete by the name of Caitlin Clark.
00:03:52.000 Caitlin Clark is a terrific athlete.
00:03:55.000 She's probably the best known and probably the best female basketball player in the country, if not in the world.
00:04:03.000 I don't know that space very well, but certainly the best known.
00:04:06.000 And she won Time Magazine's Athlete of the Year.
00:04:11.000 Now, I don't even think that was Female Athlete of the Year.
00:04:12.000 I think she won Athlete of the Year and very well deserved.
00:04:15.000 She almost won the national title at University of Iowa.
00:04:18.000 She took the WNBA by storm.
00:04:20.000 She was snubbed to not go on the U.S. Olympic team.
00:04:23.000 But Kaitlin Clark is new.
00:04:26.000 She is green.
00:04:26.000 She's been put into the center stage of the WNBA and still trying to navigate.
00:04:32.000 Kaitlin Clark has a metaphorical woke DEI gun to her head.
00:04:39.000 She came out in response to this Time Magazine article and said just something very disappointing.
00:04:44.000 I don't think she actually believes any of this.
00:04:47.000 I don't think Caitlin Clark has thought deeply about this.
00:04:49.000 And maybe if she has, if she's saying the opposite, it's even worse.
00:04:52.000 I don't think these are Caitlin Clark's values.
00:04:54.000 Instead, I think this is still a remnant of cultural pressure that shows the culture war is ongoing.
00:05:00.000 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.
00:05:10.000 A lot of these players, those players in the league that have been really good, have been black players.
00:05:17.000 This league has been kind of built on them.
00:05:19.000 So, wait, what kind of privilege exactly do you have, Caitlin Clark?
00:05:24.000 What privilege do you have as a white WNBA basketball player that a black one has?
00:05:29.000 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.
00:05:40.000 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.
00:05:49.000 I think it's very important.
00:05:50.000 I have to continue to try and change that.
00:05:52.000 The more we can elevate black women, that's going to be a beautiful thing.
00:05:56.000 But back in June, Clark was unbothered by people using her name to push narratives.
00:06:00.000 She said, quote, it's not something I can control.
00:06:03.000 I don't put too much thought and time into thinking about things like this, to be honest.
00:06:06.000 I don't see a lot of it.
00:06:09.000 She's doing the mandatory, sorry I'm white, BS. Now what specifically, Caitlin Clark, and I'm not going to 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.
00:06:28.000 No, what exactly, was all those hours you spent in the gym white privilege, Caitlin Clark, perfecting your objectively good jump shot?
00:06:37.000 Making sure that you're in the best possible shape.
00:06:40.000 What privilege do you have?
00:06:42.000 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.
00:06:51.000 It's an amazing accomplishment.
00:06:53.000 And race is not something necessarily that we gravitate to.
00:06:57.000 What she's doing is that she doesn't want to be bullied.
00:07:01.000 And she's very bothered by not being accepted.
00:07:05.000 She's bothered by people rolling their eyes at her, by people attacking her, by people criticizing her.
00:07:11.000 She is very prone to that kind of criticism.
00:07:15.000 Now, Caitlin Clark is just yet another example of someone that is manipulated by this kind of anti-woke mafia.
00:07:26.000 However, anti-white mafia, very woke mafia.
00:07:29.000 I will say that this is a trend that That is against the current trajectory.
00:07:37.000 It's not even a trend.
00:07:38.000 It's a movement against the current trajectory.
00:07:40.000 This is the most popular player in WNBA history, and it's not even close.
00:07:46.000 What Kaitlin Clark should have said is that this is a meritocracy.
00:07:49.000 Honored to have it.
00:07:50.000 I worked my tail off, and whoever gets this honor next, they deserve it.
00:07:55.000 She could have just stayed neutral.
00:07:56.000 And let's be very clear.
00:07:58.000 The WNBA wasn't built on black women.
00:08:01.000 It was subsidized by black men in the NBA until Caitlin Clark came around.
00:08:07.000 The WNBA was just a very unpopular league and Caitlin Clark made it exciting again.
00:08:13.000 She has a magic to her athletic performance.
00:08:16.000 It was largely irrelevant.
00:08:17.000 But Caitlin Clark is being surrounded by anti-white, black race politics, and she has to take the knee.
00:08:24.000 This is her metaphorically taking the knee.
00:08:26.000 And it's understandable.
00:08:28.000 I mean, women are more likely to fall victim to societal pressure and groupthink.
00:08:34.000 They're less likely to be disagreeable.
00:08:36.000 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.
00:08:45.000 I'm not going to go along with this.
00:08:46.000 And so I'm not even criticizing Caitlin Clark because what should we expect out of her?
00:08:50.000 She's what, 22 or 23 years old?
00:08:53.000 She's part of a...
00:08:55.000 Athletic organization that she's kind of a rookie at.
00:08:58.000 It's a tough situation.
00:09:00.000 But it goes to show that the Wokies are not just going to roll over.
00:09:03.000 That they're going to find targets and they're going to continue to try to piece them off one by one.
00:09:08.000 To try and cipher them for their cause.
00:09:12.000 They're trying to keep Woke alive.
00:09:15.000 And honestly, I don't even want to watch her play anymore.
00:09:17.000 I'm not going to boycott it.
00:09:18.000 It just kind of has taken the wind out of the sails.
00:09:21.000 Just kind of like, okay, you're just like all the rest of them.
00:09:24.000 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.
00:09:32.000 A highlight reel is just remarkable.
00:09:36.000 Caitlin Clark's final WNBA playoff game, 2.5 million viewers.
00:09:40.000 The best game after Clark was eliminated, 929,000 viewers.
00:09:44.000 Ratings fell off a cliff when the rookie superstar was done for a season.
00:09:48.000 No one cares.
00:09:50.000 But she's just like the rest of them.
00:09:51.000 And maybe she'll grow and she's young and she'll develop.
00:09:55.000 But she's going against the kind of cultural wins right now.
00:09:59.000 How powerful would it have been in saying, by the way, did they even ask her about this?
00:10:02.000 What was the question?
00:10:03.000 What was the premise?
00:10:04.000 Or did she just say this?
00:10:06.000 It's a disappointment, but it shows that the remnant of this cancerous and parasitic ideology is not going to go away.
00:10:16.000 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.
00:10:29.000 And racist.

00:11:34.000 And this ties into the Daniel Penny verdict.
00:11:36.000 It's just so against the vibe of the country, which is what's so perplexing about Caitlin Clark.
00:11:41.000 But it's not perplexing if you understand not just female athletics.
00:11:45.000 That is part of it, you have to be honest.
00:11:47.000 But just professional athletics and how it's been captured by the cancer.
00:11:51.000 But how the tumor has metastasized.
00:11:54.000 Into the WNBA. And into the NBA. Into the NFL. Now the NFL has started to shut it.
00:11:59.000 Now it will be very interesting to see this.
00:12:01.000 The NBA. The NBA is the wokest of all the major sports organizations.
00:12:07.000 For many reasons.
00:12:08.000 But there is almost this expectation that if you are a black American in this country.
00:12:12.000 That you must be on the left.
00:12:13.000 The NBA is disproportionately black Americans.
00:12:15.000 And the NBA is like 68-70%.
00:12:17.000 Maybe even 75% black.
00:12:19.000 It might even be higher than that.
00:12:21.000 I tracked the numbers a little bit.
00:12:23.000 I used to.
00:12:24.000 The current cultural situation in this country is very promising.
00:12:30.000 You have Walmart getting rid of DEI policies.
00:12:33.000 You have more and more people getting away from this idea of inherent anti-white ideology.
00:12:40.000 And I don't think Daniel Penny would be walking free if this was 2020 or 2021. We were still under this hypnosis, this Floydapalooza woke hypnosis that existed for quite some time.
00:12:55.000 And it's going to require courage in every single culture arena.
00:12:58.000 And the answer is almost always, you do not take a knee.
00:13:01.000 You do not bend into them.
00:13:03.000 When you cave to this tyrannical mob, it never stops them from hating you.
00:13:10.000 All you've done is make them feel justified in their hate.
00:13:14.000 That is all you've ever done.
00:13:15.000 That is all that actually ends up happening.
00:13:17.000 Is feeling justified in their hate.
00:13:21.000 And we can't stay...
00:13:22.000 By the way, when we're watching and we're seeing President Trump on the King James Bible say, so help me God...
00:13:28.000 The fight is not yet over there.
00:13:30.000 That is just winning the first inning.
00:13:31.000 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 in the Middle East, peace between Russia and Ukraine.
00:13:40.000 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.
00:13:46.000 Now, Caitlin Clark was met with widespread criticism, and it's deserved.
00:13:50.000 But you should just kind of cut her a little bit of slack of, look, she doesn't know what she's doing.
00:13:54.000 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 she would be able to.
00:14:04.000 Outkick.com writes, fans turn on Caitlin Clark as she predictably bent the knee to the insufferable woke mob.
00:14:10.000 I mean, mob, it's too bad.
00:14:11.000 Look, Again, she's not a political figure, but it's just such a nauseating statement that she made in Time Magazine.
00:14:17.000 Megyn Kelly also blasts Caitlin Clark for self-flagellation over white supremacy myth.
00:14:23.000 And you notice, when you ask them questions, they can never answer those questions.
00:14:28.000 Oh, really?
00:14:29.000 There is white privilege in this country?
00:14:31.000 Why is it that 55-60% of all murders are committed by black men?
00:14:36.000 How is that white privilege?
00:14:38.000 How are white people to blame for that exactly?
00:14:42.000 Oh, there's white privilege?
00:14:43.000 Okay, why is it that 55% to 65%, somewhere between there, of shoplifting, arson, are committed by black men?
00:14:51.000 What exactly does that have to do with white privilege?
00:14:55.000 Kaitlin Clark set the WNBA single season assist record.
00:14:59.000 She set the rookie scoring record.
00:15:02.000 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.
00:15:11.000 It is definitionally a meritocracy.
00:15:13.000 It's 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.
00:15:22.000 Can you dribble the ball, pass it well, shoot with precision?
00:15:25.000 Can you play the game?
00:15:27.000 Blake says, don't give them ideas, lol.
00:15:29.000 I mean, it's half kidding, by the way.
00:15:32.000 Half kidding that they're going to start to do DEI scoring.
00:15:37.000 That Caitlin Clark is going to have to, her three-pointers only count as one.
00:15:41.000 This idea pathogen must be eliminated because it will take every corner of American society.
00:15:48.000 Because if you give them an inch, they will take the entire civilization.
00:15:53.000 All it knows is to grow and to conquer and to destroy.
00:15:58.000 And you just have to wonder, who exactly is in Caitlin Clark's ear?
00:16:03.000 I think she's married or her fiancé or whatever.
00:16:05.000 She's from Iowa.
00:16:06.000 I mean, you think that most people in Iowa have this kind of belief?
00:16:09.000 Of course not.
00:16:10.000 Like, all those late nights where she's shooting free throws when all of her friends are going out and partying and getting drunk?
00:16:15.000 All those late nights when she was training at the University of Iowa when she was trying to be the best basketball player in the country?
00:16:20.000 That's white privilege?
00:16:21.000 No, it's hard work privilege, actually.
00:16:23.000 And she really blew an opportunity to make that case.
00:16:28.000 Nobody handed this to me.
00:16:29.000 I worked my tail off.
00:16:30.000 People doubted me.
00:16:32.000 The cameras have been on me my entire career, and I always deliver.
00:16:36.000 Because I work the hardest.
00:16:38.000 Or she just could have stayed neutral.
00:16:40.000 You have to wonder, was she threatened in some way?
00:16:41.000 And the answer is yes.
00:16:42.000 I mean, she has been somewhat physically under threat by a lot of the WNBA wokies.
00:16:50.000 I was going to say something else, but I didn't.
00:16:53.000 What in you caused you to want to get involved?
00:16:58.000 I mean, I'm not a confrontational person.
00:17:00.000 I don't really extend myself.
00:17:03.000 This type of thing is very uncomfortable.
00:17:06.000 All this attention and limelight is very uncomfortable.
00:17:10.000 And I would prefer without it.
00:17:12.000 I didn't want any type of attention or praise.
00:17:17.000 And I still don't.
00:17:21.000 The guilt I would have felt If someone did get hurt, if he did do what he was threatening to do, I would never be able to live with myself.
00:17:32.000 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.
00:17:49.000 It's a powerful interview done by my friend, an American patriot.
00:17:52.000 You can watch the entire thing on foxnation.com.
00:17:54.000 I encourage you guys to check it out, Fox Nation.
00:17:56.000 Judge Jeanine is with us.
00:17:57.000 Judge, thank you for taking the time.
00:17:59.000 Wonderful interview.
00:18:00.000 Judge, you've been around the criminal justice system your entire life, being a judge and a district attorney.
00:18:04.000 What struck you most powerfully about this case and also meeting Daniel Penny personally, Judge?
00:18:09.000 Well, first of all, it's good to be able to chat with you, Charlie.
00:18:12.000 A couple of thoughts.
00:18:14.000 Number one, What struck me about this case was the injustice of it.
00:18:19.000 You've got to understand that I have worn the same and stepped in the same shoes as Alvin Bragg.
00:18:26.000 I've been a district attorney who presents cases to the grand jury and prosecutes them.
00:18:31.000 I've been in the same shoes as the judge, a county judge who's trying felony cases.
00:18:37.000 And the New York law is my wheelhouse.
00:18:41.000 I was stunned with the choice and the decision to prosecute this case when the police originally allowed Danny Penny to leave.
00:18:49.000 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.
00:19:11.000 So it started there, and it was very disappointing.
00:19:14.000 The DA's office in Manhattan, I thought, was shameful in the way they pursued this case.
00:19:19.000 Their witnesses were shameful, their wheeling and dealing, and their decision toward the end to dismiss the man, too, after there was a hung jury, in the hopes of getting them to compromise on crim-neg homicide, that was pretty awful.
00:19:36.000 But for me, meeting Danny Penny, I had met him the week before.
00:19:43.000 I had gone to dinner with him and his lawyers, who I know very well.
00:19:48.000 His lawyers worked in my office when I was the DA. And he was one of the most decent people I've ever met.
00:19:57.000 I mean, you saw this stoic guy, Charlie, for five minutes, not a muscle in his face, moved for five weeks.
00:20:05.000 Whatever the prosecutor threw at him, 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.
00:20:17.000 He was stoic in the midst of total chaos around him.
00:20:22.000 More than anything, Danny Penny, in my exclusive first interview, He was a gentleman.
00:20:29.000 He was a man who doesn't want the limelight.
00:20:32.000 He's not comfortable even talking about this.
00:20:35.000 And by the way, guys, he was classically trained.
00:20:38.000 He's a classic musician.
00:20:42.000 So he was in the String Symphony for several years.
00:20:46.000 And he went in the Marines.
00:20:48.000 And he's not a macho man.
00:20:50.000 He's not, as he said, a jarhead.
00:20:52.000 You know, he is someone who...
00:20:54.000 You know, didn't want to get involved.
00:20:56.000 He said, but I could never forgive myself if I didn't get involved.
00:20:59.000 Seeing those school kids, seeing the woman with the child.
00:21:04.000 And he said, even I was afraid.
00:21:06.000 So it turns out that Danny Penny was right.
00:21:10.000 He was justified in using force.
00:21:13.000 But remember, it was not the choke that killed Justin, Jordan Neely.
00:21:19.000 Jordan Neely He had a combination of a psychotic break.
00:21:23.000 He was a schizophrenic.
00:21:25.000 He was on K2. He was overdosing on the K2. He had sickle cell disease.
00:21:32.000 In addition to that, the stress of the whole event caused his heart to stop.
00:21:37.000 So the chief medical examiner gets up and says, at the autopsy, he says, I don't care.
00:21:45.000 I'm not waiting for the toxicology, the histology, the anthropology, the As far as I'm concerned, the truth is that this is a guy who choked Jordan Neely.
00:21:57.000 And so they just said cause of death is a homicide.
00:22:01.000 That wasn't true.
00:22:02.000 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.
00:22:15.000 So, I mean, God bless Danny.
00:22:18.000 Penny, in the end, He is my hero.
00:22:21.000 And, you know, we've been talking about what masculinity is.
00:22:27.000 It's Danny Penny.
00:22:28.000 He's a hero.
00:22:29.000 He is a guy who has marine training, but he has the courage of a lion as well.
00:22:36.000 So, Judge, so many takeaways here, and you are uniquely qualified to speak about this.
00:22:42.000 Again, I want people to check out foxnation.com doing a great job with that interview, Judge.
00:22:47.000 You crushed it.
00:22:48.000 It was terrific.
00:22:48.000 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?
00:22:58.000 Because look at still what he had to go through.
00:23:01.000 Wasn't the process the punishment by Alvin Bragg?
00:23:05.000 Because this young man, this hero, still has a year loss, I mean, reputational harm, you name it.
00:23:14.000 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.
00:23:27.000 Well, I think that's true.
00:23:29.000 I think that there was something about Danny Penny that was so unusual that he just said he couldn't have lived with himself if he didn't do something.
00:23:39.000 He said a million court appearances and all the name-calling and everything else He would, in his mind, go back to the people on the train, many of whom stayed after the doors were open, to say, thank you so much.
00:23:54.000 Thank you for saving my life.
00:23:56.000 But will other men stand up?
00:23:58.000 Will other women stand up?
00:24:01.000 I don't know.
00:24:02.000 I really can't say.
00:24:04.000 I think this case is kind of a double-edged sword.
00:24:07.000 On the one hand, if you're inclined not to, you say, I'm not going to get indicted.
00:24:11.000 And if you're inclined to do it, you say, look, he ultimately was acquitted of all of it.
00:24:16.000 But it's not over for Danny, Charlie.
00:24:19.000 Danny is facing a civil lawsuit by Jordan Neely's father.
00:24:23.000 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.
00:24:34.000 And the sad part about all this is that Danny Penny 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.
00:24:47.000 How did you know that?
00:24:48.000 He said, I've seen a lot of it.
00:24:50.000 And it makes you more aggressive, which explains why Jordan Neely was so incredibly strong at the time.
00:25:00.000 And why Jordan Neely was able to keep fighting for so many minutes.
00:25:05.000 I mean, they were wrestling on the ground.
00:25:07.000 And, you know, they needed another person, two people to hold them down.
00:25:12.000 A black person and a Hispanic person came in to try to hold Jordan Neely down as Danny Penny held them.
00:25:20.000 So this whole idea of a race case is BS, okay?
00:25:25.000 The jury had blacks, Hispanics, and Asians.
00:25:29.000 On that subway car were blacks, Hispanics, and white people that they were trying to protect.
00:25:38.000 The people who helped him to hold down Jordan Neely were Black and Hispanic.
00:25:43.000 So this was anything but a raised case.
00:25:46.000 But the prosecutor's office kept referring to Danny Penny as the white guy.
00:25:51.000 Shameful, Charlie, shameful.

00:26:58.000 I know you care deeply about New York City and the New York greater area.
00:27:02.000 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?
00:27:11.000 Judge, one minute remaining.
00:27:12.000 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.
00:27:26.000 He's got to go.
00:27:27.000 If Hochul doesn't take him out, which he has every right to do, then the people cannot vote for this man.
00:27:33.000 Real victims are out there, Charlie.
00:27:36.000 They're not having arrests made in their cases, and real criminals are being released over and over again because the Democrats think Oh, you know what?
00:27:44.000 It's not fair to keep them in jail.
00:27:46.000 Hogwash.
00:27:47.000 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.
00:27:54.000 So, you know, in the end, this guy's got to go.
00:27:58.000 But I also have faith in the jury.
00:28:02.000 Danny Penny said it.
00:28:03.000 He said it took courage for this jury to acquit me.
00:28:06.000 I said, what would you say to them?
00:28:08.000 He said, I would hug them.
00:28:10.000 I would hug them.
00:28:11.000 There wasn't a dry eye as I was taping this.
00:28:14.000 And I'm looking at all men while I'm taping this thing.
00:28:17.000 Salt of the earth.
00:28:18.000 Danny Penny is a hero.
00:28:20.000 He's more than that.
00:28:21.000 Judge, you've been a great friend for years.
00:28:23.000 I'll never forget it.
00:28:25.000 Love watching you on TV. People should check out foxnation.com.
00:28:28.000 Judge Jeanine, thank you so much.
00:28:29.000 Love you too.
00:28:30.000 Bye-bye.
00:28:31.000 She's the best.
00:28:32.000 10 out of 10. Great patriot.
00:28:34.000 Some breaking news, everybody, that happened in the last 12 hours.
00:28:38.000 Breaking overnight is actually the better way to say it.
00:28:41.000 Senator Bill Cassidy from Louisiana, who voted to convict Donald Trump in the second impeachment trial, now has a formal primary challenger.
00:28:53.000 He is being challenged by John Fleming, who is the former representative, actually, a former congressman.
00:29:00.000 This is a serious primary challenger, by the way.
00:29:02.000 A serious primary challenger.
00:29:04.000 He was a congressman.
00:29:05.000 He is now the state treasurer of the state of Louisiana.
00:29:09.000 And this is now official.
00:29:12.000 He has announced the primary challenge.
00:29:14.000 Actually, this happened about five days ago.
00:29:16.000 I must have missed it.
00:29:17.000 I'm sorry.
00:29:17.000 I apologize.
00:29:18.000 This wasn't overnight.
00:29:19.000 It was written up in playbook overnight, which makes me think that.
00:29:22.000 But here it is.
00:29:23.000 And we very well might get involved in this one.
00:29:26.000 Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy draws primary challenge from former Hill colleague.
00:29:31.000 John Fleming was U.S. representative for Louisiana's fourth congressional district.
00:29:35.000 After leaving Congress, he was a Trump administration appointee for deputy assistant secretary of health and information technology and reform.
00:29:42.000 He won the 2023 Louisiana treasure election with 65 percent of the vote.
00:29:48.000 He is elected statewide.
00:29:49.000 Very, very well liked.
00:29:51.000 This is a serious primary challenger.
00:29:52.000 This is not just some random guy that's going after Senator Cassidy.
00:29:56.000 And Senator Cassidy is another one of those creatures of the deep state, of the Leviathan.
00:30:01.000 Who constantly works against the president and our agenda.
00:30:04.000 And so, look, there's going to be primary challenges in all these deep red states.
00:30:07.000 And you know our criteria.
00:30:09.000 Susan Collins is marked safe from a primary.
00:30:11.000 She's got to deal with a very, very difficult thicket of a general election there.
00:30:16.000 If you are in a 50-50 state, we're not going to primary you.
00:30:19.000 It's foolish.
00:30:20.000 It's not wise.
00:30:20.000 It's not prudent.
00:30:21.000 But if you are in a state like Louisiana, like South Dakota, like Idaho...
00:30:26.000 There's going to be a lot of primary challengers that are going to pop up.
00:30:30.000 And people say, but Charlie, what did they do wrong?
00:30:32.000 They've spent money to Ukraine.
00:30:33.000 That was against the wishes of the base.
00:30:35.000 They did nothing to secure the southern border.
00:30:37.000 And the red wave needs to step in and sweep these states.
00:30:40.000 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...
00:30:49.000 Senator Landrieu, actually, but that's from an era long past that is a pre-Trump Republican Party.
00:30:55.000 I am not even concerned about how we would be able to get this done.
00:31:01.000 Remember, a Fleming, John Fleming was a Freedom Caucus member in very good standing with President Trump.
00:31:06.000 And maybe it's time for us to retire Senator Bill Cassidy.
00:31:09.000 Look, we are not going to put up with these Senate Republicans that tried to overrule the will of the people.
00:31:18.000 The American people give a mandate.
00:31:20.000 President Trump gets his cabinet.
00:31:22.000 Blake, let's see how fast you can operate.
00:31:24.000 Who did Bill Cassidy vote for with Merrick Garland and Lloyd Austin?
00:31:28.000 I'd be really interested.
00:31:29.000 Did he go vote for Joe Biden's nominees?
00:31:33.000 A referendum was presented in front of the American people, and more and more primary challengers are going to surface.
00:31:39.000 Mike Rounds might be next.
00:31:40.000 Rish might be next.
00:31:42.000 Shelley Moore Capital might be next in Virginia.
00:31:45.000 Cindy Hyde-Smith in Mississippi might be next.
00:31:47.000 Eventually, Roger Wicker.
00:31:48.000 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.
00:32:01.000 We're going to remove every single one of them eventually.
00:32:04.000 Not this cycle, but it's going to happen.
00:32:05.000 And they know it too.
00:32:07.000 Political Playbook writes, by the way, It's a great title.
00:32:10.000 Inside Trump's Game of Senate Hardball.
00:32:13.000 Another article in Politico.
00:32:15.000 It writes, For Trump's allies, rhino hunting season is in full swing.
00:32:20.000 And it actually captures us in great detail there of what Turning Point Action is planning to do.
00:32:25.000 The same way that we said you got ronned, maybe it'll be like, you got Cassidy'd.
00:32:29.000 Or you got rounds'd.
00:32:32.000 You got Rished.
00:32:34.000 Yep, Cassidy was yes on both.
00:32:36.000 Bill Cassidy voted for Merrick Garland and Lloyd Austin.
00:32:40.000 Well, as we say, the primaries are going to continue until morale improves.
00:32:45.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
