He's only been a woman for five years, but he's ready to bring his hard-nosed style of play to the WNBA.

Julie Tétart is not just one of the best players in a league in France; the center absolutely dominated the 2025-2026 season in every relevant category.

'It's a childhood dream just like for any female basketball player.'

The Monaco player, who stands at 6'2"-6'3" depending on the source, ran through France's Ligue 2 opponents last season and has since revealed the WNBA would be a welcomed next step.

Fox News' OutKick caught up with the trans-identifying male athlete to ask if the U.S. women's league was a possibility.

"If they contact me, I won't say no. But you have to be realistic: I'm old, and there are far better players than me!" the humble player told the outlet on Monday.

Calls for a WNBA team to sign Tétart have come during the league's ongoing debate over inclusion. After Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham said girls should not have to compete with boys, backlash quickly followed from WNBA fans, coaches, and even an owner.

Multiple WNBA personnel have struggled to separate the idea of barring men from their sport from the rest of their progressive views.

Golden State Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase compared the issue to being criticized for her ethnicity, while Fever head coach Stephanie White said she is not "educated enough from a scientific standpoint" to determine whether the league should allow men.

She added, "I don't ever believe that exclusion is an answer."

Tétart crushing the competition

It would be hard to imagine a more dominant performance than the one the 34-year-old put on last season.

Tétart was the only player in the league to break the 20-points-per-game barrier, averaging 21.2, more than four points ahead of the second-highest scorer.

In rebounding, Tétart averaged a massive 20.2 boards per game, almost double the second-highest rebounder, who averaged 10.9 per game.

Tétart was also fifth in steals per game, while averaging the most successful free throws and free-throw attempts per game, by a mile.

This was all without even being in the top 10 for minutes played per game, for which Tétart was ranked 19th.

Tétart, who according to the New York Post came out as transgender in October 2021, while telling OutKick that playing in the WNBA would be a dream, seemingly hinted at not wanting to go to the U.S. because of President Donald Trump.

"Obviously, it's a childhood dream just like for any female basketball player, but unfortunately, it's not possible," Tétart said.

"The league, yes. The country, no, haha," Tétart continued. However, when pressed further on the subject, the player simply replied, "I won't say no."

Glenn Beck: What Europe’s latest terror attacks reveal about the progressive left’s deadly blind spot

Earlier this week, a 31-year-old man was arrested in Paris after stabbing three women, one of whom was pregnant, with kitchen knives. Even though video footage of his detainment captured him saying, “It is Allah who commanded me,” Interior Minister Laurent Nunez claimed the motive of the attack was unknown.

“You rolled your eyes, didn’t you? ... I know you did,” says Glenn Beck.

But France isn’t the only European country that has seen recent terror attacks.

Just a few days before the Paris knife attack, 21-year-old Abdul Ballout drove a van into a Berlin Pride event, killing one woman and injuring dozens before attacking with a machete; police shot him dead the next day after he charged at officers with a sharp object.

“He was already convicted of planning at least one terror attack, but then he was let out conditionally. … He was assigned to complete … anti-terrorism or anti-radical classes,” says Glenn’s head writer and researcher, Jason Buttrill.

Glenn argues these attacks aren’t isolated but are actually symptoms of something much deeper and even more sinister: “the red-green alliance” of socialist Marxists and Islamist movements.

“I believe the red-green alliance is a death cult,” he says, warning that if the Democratic Party doesn’t recognize it is “in bed with” a coalition that “[wants] total destruction of everything” America stands on, the consequences the nation will suffer are dire.

Glenn then tells the story of Michel Foucault, the influential gay French philosopher who enthusiastically supported the 1979 Iranian Revolution, only for the new regime to almost immediately start executing homosexuals.

Foucault, he argues, was wrong to refuse to take back or even caveat his original praise. In his 1979 essay on the Iranian Revolution, he never named the executions, never admitted he had been wrong about the regime he praised, and never took his support back.

“He should have written, ‘I went to Tehran, and I mistook intensity for justice. I saw men willing to die, and I assumed that anyone willing to die for a thing must be right about that thing. … The government I praised is now hanging men for what I am. I was wrong. This is not going to end well,”’ says Glenn.

But that admission, he explains, never came for the same reason today’s progressive LGBTQ activists refuse to acknowledge they’re supporting groups who would execute people like them the moment they gained power: “An honest mind treats being wrong as information. A weak one treats it as injury.”

“So how is [Foucault] actually wrong? Three ways, and they're still on the market today,” says Glenn.

Number one: He mistook passion for morality.

“He judged a movement by how it felt to the people inside instead of by what it would do to the people underneath it,” says Glenn. “Passion is not a moral argument. Everyone who has ever built a gallows was passionate.”

Number two: He rejected Western liberal institutions — courts, rights, rule of law — as mere “masks that power wore.” But when a revolutionary movement actually showed up to tear those institutions down, Foucault had already discarded the only “ruler” he might have used to judge what replaced them.

“If everything is a mask, then you can’t tell the difference between a constitution and a firing squad,” says Glenn.

Number three: He ignored warnings. When an Iranian woman wrote to him at the time of the Revolution and told him he was romanticizing men who would soon put men like him in prison, he doubled down on his support.

“He was warned. This is not about philosophy; this is about character. It's about intentional, self-imposed ignorance or blindness,” says Glenn, highlighting Foucault’s stubborn refusal to correct the record.

The same three mistakes, he warns, are being made by today’s socialist Marxists who have formed an alliance with Islamists — but we need to be very calculated in how we challenge them, or we risk further entrenching their support.

Americans bear ‘significant responsibility’ for heat wave killing the French, Paris official says

As Europe's record-breaking heat wave continues and excess deaths in France climb past 1,300, a Paris official says Americans bear responsibility for the crisis because of emissions and air conditioning.

Audrey Pulvar, Paris' deputy mayor for international relations, lashed out at American tourists and influencers who had mocked the city for its lack of widespread air conditioning as temperatures soared past 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

'OMG, this is so rich.'

"Dear American journalists and social media 'influencers': for days, some of you have been criticising and making fun of Paris because the city does not have A/C in every room. ... OMG, this is so rich!" she wrote on Instagram.

She argued the U.S., which she claims is the world's second-largest greenhouse gas emitter, bears a "significant amount of responsibility responsibility" for the warming driving the crisis, noting American cities are roughly 90% air-conditioned. "So please, enough with the lecture. Just start doing your part."

France has recorded at least 1,300 excess deaths since June 21, according to Sante Publique France, with officials warning the count could climb higher.

About 15,000 elderly people died in France's 2003 heat wave, though air conditioning still hasn't caught on nationwide. As of June 25, officials had confirmed at least 55 drowning deaths — a toll likely to keep climbing — after many have sought relief in unsupervised waterways.

Paris went so far as to ban public alcohol consumption on streets and in parks to "preserve emergency services and allow medics to concentrate on taking care of the most vulnerable."

Only about a quarter of French households have air conditioning, versus roughly half in Spain and Italy and 90% in the U.S. and Japan. The French have long associated air conditioning with illness, attributing colds to "thermal shock" from sudden temperature changes, according to GB News.

With Parisians sleeping in parks and booking hotel rooms to escape the heat, even traditionally AC-skeptical politicians — including France's Green Party — have conceded wider adoption may now be unavoidable.

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright drew fire days earlier, telling a London conference that "cold is a vastly larger killer than heat is," citing deaths tied to high energy prices after Russia's 2022 Ukraine invasion.

On Europe's air conditioning scarcity specifically, Wright said a "shale gas revolution" in the U.K. could have cut electricity bills and avoided the shortage altogether.

'Symbol of a country adrift': White French boy 'lynched' by pack of thugs who smiled while filming the murder

The leader of the top opposition party in France's National Assembly has joined numerous other lawmakers in raising the alarm about the horrific case of Louis of Narbonne — a white 17-year-old foster kid who was ambushed on the night of June 19 and effectively left for dead by several individuals.

"Louis, 17 years old, was lynched to death with unimaginable violence, filmed by his gleeful assailants, left to agonize through an entire night, and found lifeless on a construction site in Narbonne," Jordan Bardella, president of the National Rally party, wrote on Wednesday.

'This everyday barbarity that can no longer be minimized, downplayed, or concealed.'

"He is the symbol of a country adrift, undermined by a barbarization that neither the laxity nor the blindness of our leaders can halt," continued Bardella. "We must dare to break with 30 years of failures if we are to restore order in France."

The suspects — a diverse crew who reportedly knew one another from child welfare facilities — filmed themselves at an under-construction seniors residence punching and kicking in the head of the dying teenager.

The nightmarish footage — which one of the attackers reportedly shared on social media — not only shows the thugs' relentless attacks on the already-unconscious boy but also shows suspects posing for pictures beside the dying teen, whose agonal breathing can be heard throughout.

According to the French investigative outlet Frontières, the family authorized the release of the footage "in order to challenge the version put forward by some media outlets describing it as a mere 'brawl.'"

Frontières noted further that "despite the pain, his loved ones refuse anonymity and want the truth to be known."

La Montagne reported that one of the suspects sent the footage to an acquaintance who, seeing the attack and the boy's injuries, promptly alerted the Aude Departmental Fire and Rescue Service. Since the concerned caller allegedly didn't know where Louis had been attacked, first responders were unable to swiftly locate and rescue the boy.

David Leyraud, national supervisor of the Police Alliance, said that Louis was ultimately found on Saturday morning by a construction worker.

Jean-Philippe Rey, the prosecutor of the Republic of Narbonne, said that "when they arrived, the firefighters took the victim, still unconscious. He had bruises in the eyes, multiple bruises on the forehead as well as bleeding in the mouth and nose."

The victim was placed in an artificial coma and succumbed to his injuries on Tuesday.

'While our children are dying, our leaders look the other way.'

Louis was placed in a child welfare facility in May. According to records obtained by L'Indépendant, he filed a complaint with police on May 22 alleging assault by a group. Earlier this month, he filed another complaint — this time accompanied by his youth worker — alleging yet another attack.

One of the suspects allegedly conspired with the other four suspects and lured Louis — who had recently secured a job offer and was set to leave child welfare services — to the construction site in Narbonne on false pretenses, reported L'Indépendant. At the destination, the thugs ambushed the teen.

On the basis of the viral footage, phone records, and the insights provided by the individual who first alerted authorities to the attack — and who contacted authorities with more information after allegedly being threatened by one of the attackers — police arrested and charged five individuals with attempted murder.

The suspects are between the ages of 16 and 19, a senior police officer said. They have been placed in pre-trial detention.

The two adult suspects were previously on the radar of police for alleged minor offenses, including theft and drug use, reported L'Indépendant.

While some of the suspects allegedly gave partial admissions about their roles in the attack, most reportedly claimed ignorance of the plot and said they were just following the others.

Investigators ruled out a racist motive in the attack, according to L'Indépendant, which reported: "The initial findings, resulting from the rapid investigation, in any case rule out a racist motive, as some people hastily suggested."

When asked for more information about the suspects, the Préfecture de l'Aude told Blaze News an investigation is underway. Blaze News has reached out to the Narbonne Public Prosecutor's Office and the City of Narbonne for comment.

One of the victim's friends told Frontières, "I am in a nightmare. I am struggling to believe that Louis is gone."

"While our children are dying, our leaders look the other way," Julien Leonardelli, a National Rally member who serves as a member of the European Parliament, wrote in the wake of Louis' death.

Marine Le Pen, co-founder and parliamentary leader of the National Rally party, wrote, "The ordeal of young Louis, 17 years old, lynched in Narbonne, breaks the heart and fuels immense anger among the French in the face of this everyday barbarity that can no longer be minimized, downplayed, or concealed."

"Through endlessly refusing to swiftly and effectively punish acts of delinquency, those in power, backed by the left and the far left, have sent a disastrous message: that of permanent impunity," continued Le Pen.

The National Rally leader stressed that 2027 — when France will hold its next presidential election — will mark an end to "this savagery and this unbearable ultraviolence."

The news of yet another brutal slaying of a young teen by remorseless individuals quickly crossed the Atlantic.

BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey wrote, "The video of that poor boy in France, Louis, is too much to bear. Why is it the same kinds of people *everywhere* who commit these acts of subhuman violence? Truly animalistic monsters. God help us."

While multitudes around the world condemned the boy's lynching, Raphaël Arnault — a leftist activist who serves in the National Assembly as a member of the radical France Unbowed party — downplayed the attack, noting, "For years this kind of tragedy has existed for young people left abandoned," and complaining about "the media uproar and the racist horrors of the far right."

A march is planned in Narbonne this weekend in remembrance of the victim.

At D-Day Event, Hegseth Warns Of European Beaches ‘Stormed’ By Third-World Migrants

MACHO MAN: Javier Bardem calls out Trump's 'toxic masculinity,' 'big balls' at Cannes fest

Actor Javier Bardem is bringing "toxic masculinity" back.

At the Cannes Film Festival Sunday, the Oscar winner revived the oh-so-2021 talking point as way to explain current geopolitical tensions.

'I'm going to bomb the s**t out of you.'

Bardem was at the fest to promote his new Spanish-language flick, "The Beloved," in which he plays an aging film director dealing with his fractured relationship with his daughter.

No country for feminists

The Spanish star, who rocketed to international fame after playing sociopathic killer Anton Chigurh in 2007's "No Country for Old Men," said he had no problem bringing his flawed character to life, thanks to the "toxic masculinity" instilled by his "bad education" in his ultra-macho home country.

I'm 57 years old, coming from a very machista [machismo] country called Spain, where there is an average of two women killed monthly by their ex-husbands or ex-boyfriends, which is horrible. Just that amount of women being murdered, it's unbelievable.

Bardem went on to blame male toxicity for current global tensions involving Israel, Russia, and the United States.

"That problem also goes to Mr. Trump and Mr. Putin and Mr. Netanyahu," he continued, launching into a foul tirade that was anything but gentlemanly.

"The big-balls man saying my d**k, my c**k is bigger than yours, and I'm going to bomb the s**t out of you is a f**king male toxic behavior that is creating thousands of [dead] people. So yeah, we have to talk about it," he urged.

Facts of fury

Bardem further argued that his country "kind of normalized" male entitlement to the point that everyone takes it for granted. "Are we f**king nuts?" he asked rhetorically.

"We are killing women because some men think they own them. They possess them," he said. The Spaniard then explained that "it's good" that his movie features three women.

Bardem later moved his discussion to Gaza and Palestine, where he said a "genocide has been committed and is still being committed."

"Genocide is a fact," he stated, noting that if you disagree with him you are "pro-genocide."

"You can try to justify it, explain it, that is a fact. ... If you justify it with your silence or with your support, you are pro-genocide. Those are facts for me."

Power play

The "Skyfall" villain thanked the media for giving him the opportunity to speak his mind, which he described as the only "power" that he has.

"My statement is this one ... the power that you all gave me."

Bardem encouraged others to speak out about their beliefs in the hope that it would create "mobilization."

Amazon gives lame excuse for removing 'offensive' dystopian novel about mass migration ruining Europe

France was among the Western nations whose elites determined it worthwhile in the second half of the 20th century to open the floodgates to mass migration from the third world, especially from former colonies.

Award-winning French novelist and travel writer Jean Raspail foresaw the threat this demographic replacement posed to his nation and to Western civilization more broadly and dared — following the collapse of the Fourth Republic and amid the flight of Vietnamese "boat people" to Europe — to explore this threat in his controversial 1973 dystopian novel, "The Camp of the Saints."

'A ban by Amazon is a virtual ban of book sales and distribution.'

Both then and now, Raspail's novel serves, on the one hand, to illuminate the folly of multiculturalist aspirations and allowing unassimilable hordes of culturally antipathetic foreigners into one's nation and, on the other hand, to enrage those who are still pretending that unchecked mass migration is a laudable policy and that saying otherwise is "racist."

Evidently, the book is still ruffling feathers. This time around, the novel has apparently prompted a negative reaction from the world's largest company, Amazon.

The novel — characterized by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a "racist fantasy about an invasion of France and the white Western world by a fleet of starving, dark-skinned refugees" — was first translated into English in 1975 and has been published several times since in the United States. Despite growing in relevance and popularity, supply couldn't meet demand for the book in recent years, especially as the right-holders had reportedly refused to reprint it. A small publishing house stepped up, however, and managed to secure the rights.

Vauban Books, an imprint of Redoubt Press, published a new edition in September, generating significant waves and sales. After months of sales of the title on its platform, Amazon U.S. removed the paperback listing for the new edition on Friday.

Vauban Books editor in chief Ethan Rundell said in a statement on Sunday that his publishing house was "informed by Amazon that the book is in violation of the company's 'offensive content' policy. Amazon has supplied no information as to which portions of the book are offensive nor to whom."

After noting that Vauban had sold roughly 20,000 paperback copies of the book since first listing it for presale on Amazon last summer and that it nets an average rating of 4.8 stars, Rundell said, "It may be no coincidence that the listing was removed one day after New York Magazine published a critical article on Vice President Vance that referenced the book. This echoes a 2019 campaign that targeted Stephen Miller, leading the novel's previous publisher to drop the title from its catalogue."

Rundell noted that regardless of whether Amazon chooses to distribute the title, Vauban Books "remains committed to keeping the novel in print and accessible worldwide."

Shortly after making the initial statement, Vauban Books announced that Amazon U.S. had also removed the hardcover edition of the novel.

There was a great deal of backlash over the book's removal.

Nathan Pinkoski, a senior fellow at the Center for Renewing America who penned the introduction for the new edition, called the reported removal of the paperback option "an egregious act of censorship."

"Amazon is committed to the burning of your fine oak doors," wrote BlazeTV host Auron MacIntyre, referencing the following line from the novel, "Your universe has no meaning to them. [The invading migrants] will not try to understand. They will be tired, they will be cold, they will make a fire with your beautiful oak door."

Former Idaho Solicitor General Theo Wold wrote, "Amazon just censored a book first published in 1973 that depicts the destruction of the west through third-world mass migration. I'm sure all the people who whine about 'book bans' when a school board prevents 6-year-olds from reading about gay sex will be just as upset."

Jason Kenney, Canada's former Conservative minister of immigration and former Alberta premier, tweeted, "This is outrageous. Amazon handles up to 80% of book distribution in North America. A ban by Amazon is a virtual ban of book sales and distribution. I have never read The Camp of the Saints (although I am now moved to do so,) so offer no judgement about its merits. But there is no denying that it is a widely read novel with a significant cultural impact on France, and around the world."

It appears the backlash prompted Amazon to rethink things.

As of Monday morning, the paperback version of the novel is available again on Amazon.

When asked for comment about the novel's removal, Amazon told Blaze News that an "error" was responsible for the paperback listing of the book's temporary removal and that other formats were not affected.

An Amazon spokesperson told Blaze News, "We’ve resolved an error that briefly affected the availability of a paperback listing of The Camp of the Saints, and the title is now restored."

Vauban Books stated after its title reappeared on the platform, "Amazon has still not offered an explanation as to why the novel was taken down. We have received NO explanation, much less apology, for the deletion of the paperback Friday and hardcover this morning."

'Delayed courage': Trump tells allies to fend for themselves amid oil crisis

President Donald Trump told America's allies to fend for themselves as the Strait of Hormuz continues to constrain the world's oil supply.

Trump called on countries like the United Kingdom to either buy American oil or to "build up some delayed courage" and go into the strait themselves. Trump also said that he had already done all the dirty work, telling other countries they need to start relying on themselves rather than the United States.

'The upcoming days will be decisive.'

"All of those countries that can't get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you," Trump said in the Truth Social post Tuesday. "Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT."

"You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won't be there to help you anymore, just like you weren't there for us," Trump said. "Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!"

Trump later called out another European ally for its lack of cooperation with the Iran strikes, warning that the United States will remember.

"The Country of France wouldn’t let planes headed to Israel, loaded up with military supplies, fly over French territory," Trump said in a Truth Social post. "France has been VERY UNHELPFUL with respect to the 'Butcher of Iran,' who has been successfully eliminated! The U.S.A. will REMEMBER!!!"

Oliver Contreras/Getty Images

The United States is officially on day 31 of the conflict with Iran, which is still within the four- to six-week timeline floated by Trump and members of the administration.

"Just one month in, only one month, we set the terms," Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said during a Tuesday press conference. "The upcoming days will be decisive. Iran knows that, and there's almost nothing they can military do about it."
