Charlie James mocks WNBA eligibility rules and fields a call on Flock cameras.

What this episode covers

Donald Trump (audio clip): It's Donald Trump. We're having a lot of fun doing a good show with Charlie. Charlie James: I appreciate it, sir. Thank you very much. Wow! I've never watched a WNBA game in my life, but I'm getting ready to! I'm going to—I'm going to be tuned in! I—I, listen, let me tell you something: I don't even—I don't watch the NFL Draft. I know a lot of people get all excited about the NFL—and that's actually a thing these days. They watch the combine, they watch the draft, they watch the NBA draft. They'd be checking... I might even watch the WNBA draft coming up! Because we've got two brand new, exciting basketball players, ladies and gentlemen, that are looking to join the WNBA. The first one is a man named Enes Kanter Freedom. Let's listen to him. (Correcting himself) Oh, I'm sorry... her. Let's listen to her. Enes Kanter Freedom (audio clip): ...officially declaring myself a WNBA prospect. If simply declaring who you are is all that's required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA. My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA's eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in May 2027. I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices. I am simply asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone. The rules that represent the very values many WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for. My team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and without exception. And I look forward to the WNBA honoring its stated principles. See you at training camp. Charlie James: Absolutely! You go, girl! You go, young lady! I hope—I wish nothing but the best for you. But—but she's not the only one. Former NBA player Royce White has also said that she is going to join the training camp. Royce White (audio clip): You know, right—right now, I'm just—I'm just having a blast in my feminine era. I never thought that I was a—a—a—a woman. You know, I—I've always trusted the science, and I thought I was a man my entire life. But, you know, after further review, I, you know, look—strong look at my—my personal preferences, it would appear that—that I am indeed, uh, uh, sometimes identifying as a transgender woman. And I think it's only fair I get a chance to play with—with some of my queens, uh, uh, here in the twilight of my career, my athletic, uh, prime. Interviewer (audio clip): Well, and so exactly what you're saying, Royce, is just sort of, uh, unveils, pulls the curtain back on the lack of clarity in the WNBA's policies under Article 8 of their, uh, 2026 collective bargaining agreement. It simply... Charlie James: "I'm just enjoying my femininity." In fact, he posted a picture—picture of himself, Royce White did, it said: "It came, y'all! My first wig! Tomorrow I test it on the court. This is my feminine era glow-up. Did I slay? If y'all don't 'Yass Queen'—or let me do it like—'Yass Queen!'—then you're transphobic. I really don't understand all the hatred. I just want to play some hoops with my fellow ladies." (Laughs) You go, Royce White! Yeah. Oh, man. So now what's happened? Oh, look at here, look at here, look at here! The WNBA has now assembled a "task force" of "key figures"—both of those are in quotes, "task force" and "key figures"—to hold a meeting to figure out what woman means for purposes of accepting players into the league. You got to be kidding me. Good for these guys. Good for pointing out the hypocrisy of the WNBA. I hope they get in the draft. I'm going to watch the draft. I hope they— (Applause/laughter) I want to see some conservative company pay them like 10 times more than Angel Reese is making. However much she's making... put her in the... Oh, my goodness. Let's go to Rich in Anderson. Rich, welc ...
