The latest violent attack on Caitlin Clark exposes the WNBA’s real problem



Since her debut in the WNBA in 2024 with the Indiana Fever, women’s basketball superstar Caitlin Clark has been the victim of an unprecedented number of flagrant fouls. In her rookie season alone, she accounted for roughly 17% of all flagrant fouls drawn league-wide that year.

These attacks unfortunately followed her into her second and now third professional season. On Wednesday, June 24, Clark drew one of her most violent fouls to date. In the Fever’s matchup against the Phoenix Mercury, Clark slipped while driving to the basket, leading to a scramble for the loose ball.

Phoenix power forward Alyssa Thomas made contact with a closed fist to Clark's throat and neck area while Clark was on the floor (also appearing to knee her thigh/groin area), then stepped over her. No foul was called in real time, drawing strong criticism from Fever coach Stephanie White. The WNBA later reviewed it and upgraded it to a flagrant foul 2 for "reckless" contact and suspended Thomas for one game.

On a recent episode of “Pat Gray Unleashed,” Pat and co-hosts Keith Malinak and Jeffy discussed how this latest attack on Clark exposes a dark truth about the WNBA.

“The violence against Caitlin is not going to stop unless she dies on the court,” says Keith, emphasizing the need for Clark to seek another league to play in.

Pat is outraged by the violence consistently waged against Clark as well.

“She's brought so many eyes to that league, and nobody cared about that league before — nobody!” he emphasizes.

“How are people not being fined, booted out of the league? Suspended, at least? Something,” he asks.

Producer Kris Kruz believes he has the answer — and it reveals the WNBA’s real problem.

Clark, who is widely considered the GOAT of women’s basketball despite being early in her professional career, is “white” and “straight” — a stark contrast to the WNBA’s predominantly black and/or lesbian player base.

The celebrity escape plan backfires as 2 iconic Trump haters just slunk back home



When Trump won the presidency in 2024, several celebrities made good on their promise to evacuate the United States — but that’s not stopping them from coming back.

Rosie O’Donnell famously fled to Ireland with her 13-year-old child, Clay, immediately after Trump’s win, and returned this June for the Tony Awards.

While O’Donnell had no issues getting back into the States, she made it clear that she was “worried” that it would be “problematic” the first time she returned on a secret trip in February.

“I worried the first time I came back, whether that would be problematic, and I came alone without my child, who is 13 and has autism. She’s my youngest of five,” she told Page Six in an interview. “I wanted to make sure that if anything happened, it didn’t happen in her presence, so it was fine — as it should be.”


O’Donnell explained that Trump “can’t really arrest American citizens without cause” and speaking out against him is “using freedom speech” and “is not a reason to be arrested in America.”

BlazeTV host Jeff Fisher points out that O’Donnell also called Trump an “a-hole and a con man.”

“That’s so surprising for her,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray adds.

But O’Donnell isn’t the only one.

While Ellen DeGeneres also made a big show of moving to the U.K. after Trump’s election, she purchased land in California after the move.

“They’d already sold both their homes in Los Angeles, both their mansions in L.A.,” Gray explains, “and so they had to go back home, and they bought a new mansion in Los Angeles where she spent her birthday this year.”

Pride Night game CANCELED after baseball players refuse rainbow jerseys: ‘This is how you change the culture’



Minor league baseball team the York Revolution forfeited their Pride Night game on June 18 after fewer than nine players on the 28-man roster were willing to wear Pride uniforms — which featured jerseys with rainbow sleeves.

General manager Ben Shipley said that he was “disappointed” the team “was at this point.”

“I recognize the players' plight and their unwillingness to cross their line. I also think tolerance is not acceptance. I was just asking for tolerance from the team, and they were unwilling to navigate that with me,” Shipley explained.

“No,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray comments. “You were asking for them to participate. That is not tolerance. That’s promoting something that they have religious convictions against.”

“They’re not paid to wear rainbow colors,” he adds.


“That was a political statement they were asked to endorse, and they refused to,” executive producer Keith Malinak says.

“And this is how you change the culture. And this is what we’ve been begging young girls, young women to do when faced with dudes that want to compete against them,” he continues.

“And if they have to cancel the event, they have to cancel it. That’s how you change this mindset,” he adds.

“But that’s how committed the officials on the team were to this,” Gray says, “that they’d rather not even play baseball.”

“They still donated 10 grand to some gay charity, too,” Malinak adds.

Former Olympian arrested for allegedly vandalizing newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool



Shortly after its $14 million renovation, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was allegedly vandalized, with issues like algae blooms, peeling blue lining, and reported gashes and chemical damage. President Trump blamed the issue on vandals, prompting U.S. Park Police to arrest at least five people and issue citations to others.

67-year-old former U.S. Olympic canoeist David Hearn was one of those arrested. On Friday, June 19, Hearn was detained by U.S. Park Police after he touched a piece of the peeling blue liner. He was charged with misdemeanor destruction of government property — which he denies, saying he caused no damage — was held for about five hours, and is scheduled to appear in court next month.

Pat Gray and co-hosts Keith Malinak and Jeffy are horrified by the vandalism on a cherished American memorial.

“I’d like to put that canoe paddle somewhere where it doesn’t belong, and it isn’t in the Reflecting Pool,” quips Jeffy.

Keith then brings up another layer of the story.

“A National Park Service employee was cleaning the algae and some freakish radical leftist went up to her and ripped the hose out of her hands,” he says.

Some social media accounts claimed an older man, whom the Washington Post and other outlets identified as Hearn, grabbed or ripped the hose from a National Park Service worker who was cleaning algae — an allegation Hearn denies.

While the verdict on Hearn’s alleged vandalism remains to be seen, Keith is certain about one thing: “These people have [Trump derangement syndrome] beyond description.”

“Time to put them in a mental institution,” says Pat. “They’re just sick in the head.”

Hollywood’s cringey anti-Trump concert: ‘How do they show themselves in public?’



The left has exposed just how out of touch it truly is with Americans after putting on a completely unhinged musical protest called the Rise Up, Sing Out concert, featuring Hollywood elites like Bette Midler.

Midler took the stage to sing an off-key anthem about Trump, rewriting the World War II-era song “All You Fascists.” The original song was released in 1940 as a protest of the poll tax and Jim Crow.

Now, Midler’s 2026 revamp targets Trump policies and features lyrics like, “We’ll battle ICE together / Until they cut and run / Just like in Minneapolis / And when the midterms come,” and “You’re bound to lose / You fascists, bound to lose.”


“Trying to distract us from the Epstein files / You gas and beat and murder us, protecting pedophiles / Let’s turn the screws / You pervs are bound to lose,” another lyric reads.

“What?” BlazeTV host Pat Gray says in disbelief.

“How do they show themselves in public after that?” he asks. “So embarrassing.”

While leftists are revealing that they’re out of touch with most of America, Gray points out that at least they’re allowed to be out of touch.

“We allow that ... because of free speech,” Gray says, adding, “You can sing really stupid songs in a really nasty, hideous, off-key way, and we don’t put you in jail for it.”

4,400 regular SpaceX employees just became millionaires — and the left isn't happy about it



When Juan Hernandez began working at SpaceX, his salary was $28 an hour.

Now, after Elon Musk’s SpaceX gave him $10,000 in stock when he went full-time in 2015 — he’s a millionaire.

But he’s not alone. The company has now created 4,400 new millionaires across the employees. Even better, around 400 of the 4,400 are sitting on stakes worth over a hundred million each.

“It’s incredible,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray says on “Pat Gray Unleashed.”


However, many left-wing politicians don’t feel the same way.

Democrat nominee for Senator in Maine Graham Platner aired his frustration at Musk when he posted on X: “Elon Musk just became the world’s first trillionaire. Let’s make sure he’s also the last.”

“Why?” Gray asks. “How does that affect anyone else’s income other than making 4,400 of his workers millionaires and a few of them billionaires? How is that a bad thing? I can’t understand it.”

“This Marxist theory that has infiltrated our country and people who are in positions of power,” he continues. “Frightening. It’s just frightening.”

Executive producer Keith Malinak is in agreement.

“Yeah, they want you to believe that they’re for the little guy. But when the little guy has a chance to succeed, no, no, no, no. We want you to be the little guy still,” he adds.

SPLC president asked if pro-lifers are white supremacists — his response says it all



A congressional hearing took a tense turn when Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) challenged Southern Poverty Law Center President Bryan Fair over the organization's claim that abortion restrictions are tied to white supremacy.

“Your organization said that restricting and banning abortion is a tool that the far right uses to maintain white supremacy,” Gill began, asking Fair, “Do you believe that pro-lifers are white supremacists?”

After Fair dodged the question several times, Gill asked again, “I don’t think that pro-lifers are white supremacists; do you?”

“What I think is that reproductive liberty is a right that every woman should enjoy,” Fair answered, still dodging the question.


“How many babies in the United States that are aborted are black?” Gill asked, answering himself, “About 40% of abortions nationwide are of black babies. Blacks represent about 13% of the population. Does that sound like something a white supremacist would oppose?”

“What I would say again is that SPLC supports reproductive liberty,” Fair answered.

“Calling somebody a white supremacist is a pretty serious charge, isn’t it? I would think you would be able to defend that if your organization says that. You clearly seem unable to,” Gill said.

“You’re the president of the SPLC, which labels pro-lifers as racists,” he continued. “Does your organization just hurl around epithets like that without any justification?”

BlazeTV host Pat Gray is impressed with Gill’s reasoning.

“That’s a great point by Brandon Gill, though. That needs to be brought up a lot more, because it’s so disproportionate — the number of blacks who are aborted compared to whites. And there’s plenty of whites and Hispanics and Asians being aborted.” Gray says.

“But 40% of abortions come from blacks when they’re 13% of the population,” he continues. “In New York City, and we’ve given you this stat before, there are more black children aborted than born. It’s staggering.”

JD Vance targets Biden-era ‘Learing Center’ loopholes: ‘We’re stopping the fraud’



Vice President JD Vance is taking on those accused of immigration fraud and asylum approvals in the hope of completely turning back the clock on Biden-era policies that are still in play, explaining in an interview on Fox News just how this administration plans to do it.

“One of the angles that we’re looking at is the people who committed immigration fraud against our system and how do we denaturalize those people and send them back to where they came from,” Vance said.

“The Biden administration would often take people who were coming in on fraudulent asylum claims, fraudulent refugee claims, and basically wave the magic wand of amnesty and say, ‘We’re not going to enforce the immigration laws against those people,’” he continued.

“We stopped that from happening. But then you still have a lot of people who benefited from that Biden administration amnesty program. We’re trying to unwind as much of that as possible,” he added.


And even though “left-wing radicals in the justice system” have tried to stop the Trump administration, Vance explained that they’ve still found success.

“We have been able to denaturalize and actually unwind that temporary protected status, a lot of those fraudulent asylum claims,” he said, explaining that this will keep happening “so long as Donald Trump is president.”

“The good news is that we’re stopping the fraud that’s happening against the American taxpayer. The bad news is that my own children will never be able to attend school at the Quality Learing Center,” he joked.

“That ‘Learing Center’ has gotten a lot of mileage,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray laughs.

$965 billion AI giant warns we need to hit the brakes — but will China?



Anthropic helped build the AI race. Now, it's warning the finish line may be coming faster than anyone expected.

The company, recently valued at a staggering $965 billion, says its latest AI systems are approaching dangerous capabilities that could fundamentally change the future of technology, prompting calls for a worldwide slowdown in frontier AI development.

“They did this because it’s getting close to improving itself without human help,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray explains on “Pat Gray Unleashed.”

“In April, Claude ran a full AI research project completely on its own. Humans picked the topic and then it just did it. Claude came up with every experiment, ran every test, and delivered the results. Two human researchers spent a full week on the same problem,” he continues.


While the researchers only made it 23% of the way there, Claude made it 97% of the way there.

“Claude Mythos preview is now 52 times faster than a skilled human at improving AI training code. So it can fix its own training code. The same task takes a human four to eight hours. Claude does it better. Claude already writes 80% of Anthropic's own code,” Gray says.

While in March 2024, Claude could reportedly handle a four-minute task on its own; now it handles 12-hour tasks.

“That number doubles every four months,” Gray explains, adding that “week-long tasks are expected by 2027.”

“So when they call for a development pause, I mean we’re caught between a rock and a hard place, right, on this technology. No one wants to pause or slow down on this because there’s so much at stake,” he continues.

“There’s money, there’s advancement, there’s so much going on here ... and they can’t risk falling behind others. Worse than companies not being willing to do this, China certainly isn’t going to pause,” he adds.

AOC weighs in on Platner’s laundry list of scandals — and her take is shocking



On June 9, Graham Platner won the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate in Maine, securing approximately 72% of the vote in the primary to challenge incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins in November.

His campaign was highly scandal-ridden due to revelations, including a chest tattoo resembling a Nazi SS symbol, sexually explicit texts sent to other women while married, allegations from multiple ex-partners of emotional volatility, heavy drinking, and physically threatening or abusive behavior, and resurfaced Reddit posts containing remarks many found offensive, homophobic, and inflammatory.

Despite these controversies, Platner prevailed with strong grassroots and progressive support.

BlazeTV's Pat Gray was surprised by the lack of outrage. “None of these scandals have had any effect on his candidacy,” he sighs.

But what shocked him even more was Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-N.Y.) comments to reporters on Tuesday. Following Platner’s victory, the democratic socialist — and one of the most vocal critics of Republican scandals — appeared to hypocritically shrug off his numerous controversies.

“When it comes to the substance of this reporting, obviously there's a lot in that behavior that's really challenging. It's hard to stomach ... but at the end of the day, I think that this is a choice,” she told CNN’s Manu Raju.

“If the choice on the ballot is between that and a senator who's voted to take health care away from millions of Americans, that's the situation that we have to weigh,” she added.

Co-host Keith Malinak translates her words: "Is he sexting with women and wearing Nazi tattoos and mocking those that serve in our armed forces? Yeah, but he would vote for the government to spend money for other people's health insurance.”

“I mean, she literally said something like, ‘at the end of the day, it's a choice.’ What a profound statement that is,” scoffs Pat. “Obviously it's a choice, and you made the bad choice there.”

Jeffy speculates that the scandals surrounding Platner are likely even deeper, considering progressive activists Daniel Moraff and Leanne Fan, who recruited Platner, admitted in an interview with Wall Street Journal reporter Aaron Zitner to paying a professional vetting/opposition research firm “a whole chunk of money” to scrub Platner before his campaign even began.

But it wasn’t wholly effective given the scandals that have dominated the news cycle of late — including a deleted post from 2021 where Platner wrote, “I got older and became a communist.”

“It’s despicable,” says Pat.
