A judge rules against the Trump administration over males and female sports in California and second wave feminist icon Gloria Steinem has passed away. I'm Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Thursday September 3rd. This is evening one. The jury in the Lindsay Clancy case has been sent home after six days of deliberations. A dramatic scene inside the courtroom in Plymouth, Massachusetts played out today when lead defense attorney Kevin Reddington had a heated exchange with Judge Sullivan over what Reddington claims was one juror not abiding by the law. The judge said the jury sent him a note asking for an explanation of reasonable doubt. The jury is reportedly split 11 to 1. The judge said he answered the jury's questions and sent them back to deliberate again. This was not technically another deadlock if it were the judge could not send them back to deliberate a third time under Massachusetts law. The jury will return for a seventh day of deliberations Friday morning at 9 a.m. Eastern. The No Kings Network has been exposed as a major force behind data center and flock opposition online. Daily Wire contributor Tim Pierce has the latest. The left wing activist network behind the nationwide No Kings protests expanded its political battlefield to include artificial intelligence data centers and flock license play cameras. That's according to a new report examining the groups funding and messaging driving their campaigns. Organizations tied to the same activist ecosystem that is mobilized against President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Tesla, Israel, and ICE are increasingly in opposition to the infrastructure needed to power AI and to the surveillance technology used by local police departments. The overlap comes from Neville Royce Singham, a Connecticut-born tech entrepreneur who moved to Shanghai and has emerged as a major funder of American Marxist and left-wing organizations. Singham's broader network of political and nonprofit groups have also drawn scrutiny. With Congress investigating Singham's funding relationships while the Senate Judiciary Committee has previously asked the Justice Department and FBI to examine whether CodePink and the People's Form should register as foreign agents. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York has separately launched a grand jury investigation into Singham and the financial activity involving his network. Republicans hope to capitalize on democratic confusion and infighting ahead of midterms on issues such as transgenderism and U.S. support for Israel. President Trump on Wednesday urged Republicans in close contests to unite around the president's agenda and successes. "Because with what we've done in just a short period of time a year and a half, nobody's ever seen it before. There's never been anything like it. And all you have to do is talk about it and you're going to win and you're going to win big." He also announced an aggressive campaign schedule in the final weeks of the election. "I'm gonna take the final 30 days and maybe a little bit more than that because it's all about 35 races. You know, some of you guys are leading by so much. Please don't make me go to your area. If you're leading by 40 points and you've been there for 25 years, like the speaker. He leads by 42 points and he hasn't made. Please don't ask me to come to your area and make his speech, right? But I'm gonna go to every one of those 35 places and we're gonna see if we can get everyone elected." Meanwhile, Elon Musk's super PAC, which spent 260 million to help Republicans in 2024, is back in the mix. The America PAC has reported its first major spend of the cycle with 800,000 to support Republicans, largely in close Senate races. The biggest beneficiary was Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and the Senate race against Democrat James Telerego. A federal judge has struck down the Justice Department's lawsuit against California rules that allow males to compete in girls' sports. Investigative reporter Meg Brock has the details. The Justice Department began to prep for appeal this week after Biden appointed judge Cynthia Velzuela Dixon struck down its title and lawsuit against California. The state has allowed biological males to compete against high school girls on official contests, which the Trump administration says violates female athletes head-on-line protections. Velzuela Dixon shot down the DOJ's challenge, however. She ruled that the Trump administration failed to give the state adequate warning before threatening to strip it of $44 billion in federal education funds. The Justice Department has vowed to appeal the decision. In the meantime, California's rules that allow biological males and girls' sports will remain in place. A situation that is outraged parents and activists who say the rules are unfair and endanger female athletes. US tech giant Nvidia is buying hugging face the massive online library where developers share open-source AI models for 13 billion dollars. Associate producer Wyatt Harms has more. In video CEO Jensen Huang said the purchase will make AI quote more open, more capable, and more accessible. Huang statement appears to be a direct challenged open AI and anthropic, which have lobbied on Capitol Hill against open-source AI models. The Trump administration has reportedly considered imposing some restrictions on AI models, particularly Chinese build models, but Nvidia warned in a securities filing that a lack of transparency only enables bad actors. This is the latest in a series of moves by the chipmaker to capitalize on the AI boom, which is included raising 500 billion from six investment firms and a pledge of up to 105 billion to construct the world's largest data center.

We previously covered the controversial ad, which showed Good Good co-founder Garrett Clark shoving a woman to the ground. The ad was quickly deleted following social media backlash, but the damage still cost Good Good its Callaway deal, PGA tour sponsorship and shelf space at multiple retailers. Prior to his resignation, CEO and co-founder Matt Kendrick attempted to defend the brand, posting on X that Callaway had approved the ad, but insisted that Good Good quote take the fall after it backfired. Kendrick deleted a separate post regarding potentially suing Callaway. Two people are dead and many more are injured, including police officers and a mass shooting in Minneapolis. Police responded to multiple calls reporting gunfire in an apartment building. The officers went upstairs toward the gunfire, but could barely see because of a haze from an unidentified source. That haze reportedly caused adverse effects to those who got exposed. In the exchange, three officers were shot and injured and are expected to fully recover. Five civilians were also shot. One died on scene, one passed in the hospital and the remaining civilians are currently being treated. Police were already familiar with the shooter now being reported as a 35-year-old resident. The shooter is believed to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Film maker Lexi Alexander is facing backlash after allegedly celebrating the killing of a bank of America executive and invoking Luigi Mangioni. Entertainment reporter Amanda Harding has the story. Aaron Piesenti, who was fatally stabbed in Times Square on Monday in what is currently understood as a random attack, was mocked online by a self-identified German Palestinian-American filmmaker Lexi Alexander. The Oscar-nominated director behind Green Street Hooligans and Punisher Warzone reposted a report about Piesenti's death alongside an image invoking accused killer Luigi Mangioni, implying some kind of righteousness behind the killing. It should be noted Piesenti was in her first week back at Bank of America after spending five months caring for her newborn daughter. After people rightfully called out Alexander, the filmmaker defended her post and attacked the Bank of America over its ties to Israel, herself being an outspoken advocate for Palestine. Alexander also said her critics were part of an Israeli public relations operation and that she quote didn't care about Piesenti's death. The post has since been labeled as containing sensitive content, though it is still visible on her account. A new study published in perspectives on psychological science has found that people are speaking roughly 300 words less a day with each passing year. It's about two to three minutes out of daily conversation, and it's apparently been going on since 2005. The study analyzed more than 2000 people and was led by Valeria Pfeiffer, an assistant professor at the University of Missouri at Kansas City. One key takeaway was that technology has removed many of the secondary interactions we routinely used to have such as speaking to delivery drivers or strangers. While these may not seem like consequential conversations, Fifer said, quote, "I think these small acts can go a long way to develop more confidence in talking with each other again." And Gloria Steinem, the feminist icon who spent more than five decades challenging traditional American values and reshaping the women's movement, died Wednesday at age 92. Steinem rose from a New York freelance writer to become the face of second-wave feminism, co-founding the National Women's Political Caucus and Miz Magazine while pushing abortion rights and a broader feminist agenda. She was particularly outspoken against the traditional family, arguing that the idea of a conventional nuclear household was a product of capitalism and rejected the notion that there was a single normal family structure. Steinem also spent decades attacking Republican leaders, including Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump, while becoming one of the most influential voices behind the cultural changes that transformed Americans' views on marriage, family, and the role of women. - All right, those of your drive home updates to learn more about these stories, go to dailywire.com, and in case you missed it earlier today, we covered some major stories, including Chevron making a massive investment in Venezuela, the latest on the Lindsey Clancy and Tyler Robinson trials, and the battle over UC Berkeley's homeless encampment.
