Clay Travis BANNED from CNN for exercising his First Amendment rights?!



Founder of OutKick Clay Travis may never be allowed back on CNN.

As Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” says, it’s because he “said something true and it was very upsetting to the host.”

“I’m a First Amendment absolutist,” Travis had said, before following up with, “I believe in only two things completely: the First Amendment and boobs.”

“Hold on, hold on, I just want to make sure I heard you correctly as a woman anchoring the show — did you just say, what did you just say?” the host, Brooke Baldwin asked, wrinkling her face in disgust.

“Boobs,” Travis confirmed. “The two things that have never let me down in this entire country’s history. The First Amendment and boobs. So those are the only two things I believe in absolutely in the country.”

While Baldwin was not pleased with Travis, years later, the sports fanatic is still pleased with himself.

“It was emblematic of how you can never apologize to an inauthentic emotion. I’ve been married 20 years, trust me. I’ve apologized plenty,” Travis tells Rubin. “But not for something that is manufactured outrage.”

WATCH: 'Shark Tank's' Kevin O’Leary RIPS into AOC — 'I wouldn’t let her to manage a candy store'



Dave Rubin continues to say that certain people who’ve been historically on the left are beginning to wake up as the woke mafia gets ever louder and more extreme. That’s why he often shows clips from Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, and Bill Maher.

Well, now he’s got another person to add to the list of “truth-tellers” — that person being "Shark Tank’s" Kevin O’Leary, aka Mr. Wonderful.

On a recent episode of OutKick’s “Maintaining with Tyrus,” the Canadian entrepreneur didn’t hold back his feelings about New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s style of management.

“I look at AOC and what an incredibly successful politician she is and what a horrific manager she is,” he told Tyrus, adding that “her jurisdiction looks like a third-world country.”

O’Leary also said that we should, as tax-paying citizens, be able to say, “I don't think you're doing a great job for me as a manager. How about I hire somebody else?”

That’s “the great thing about democracy,” he added. “We can do better.”

“If she was a business, would you pass?” asked Tyrus, who agrees with O’Leary’s feelings about AOC.

“I wouldn’t let her manage a candy store,” was O’Leary’s frank answer.

Dave Rubin loves the brutal honesty.

“I find her vile and disingenuous,” he says, “but I can’t deny that she’s bamboozled a large amount of people.”

“What's going on in her own district is an absolute disaster in terms of crime and immigration and everything else.”

Aaron Rodgers mocks Anthony Fauci: 'If science is Dr. Fauci, you're damn right I'm defying science'



NFL quarterback and Super Bowl Champion Aaron Rodgers continued his seemingly never ending troll of big pharma by mocking Dr. Anthony Fauci as a representative of science.

Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, was on the receiving end of Rodgers' latest jab at establishment figures.

Speaking on "The Pat McAfee Show," where Rodgers now routinely provides his most news-worthy quotes, host Pat McAfee declared that Rodgers "defies science" by returning so quickly from an recent achilles injury.

"That’s what they’re saying about you," McAfee said. "[Commentator] Shannon Sharpe said this morning—" the host continued, until Rodgers interrupted.

"It's like we learned, if science is Dr. Fauci, you’re damn right I’m defying science," the quarterback decried.

"That's on me!" McAfee replied through laughter.

"You set yourself up for that one!" Rodgers responded.

"Fauci's just sitting at home, reminiscing about his terrible opening pitch," McAfee then added.

"If science is Dr. Fauci, you're damn right I'm defying science."

Rodgers was referring to 2021 statements by Fauci when he infamously claimed that any attacks on science were actually attacks on himself:

"I represent science," the government doctor said on CBS.

"It’s very dangerous, Chuck, because a lot of what you’re seeing as attacks on me quite frankly are attacks on science, because all of the things that I have spoken about consistently from the very beginning, have been fundamentally based on science,” Fauci also told host Chuck Todd on MSNBC.

Never forget when Fauci said "I represent science"

Fauci claimed at the time that while Republicans' goal was to attack mainstream science and that they attached his name to their statements to put a recognizable face on their target. As such, they were attacking him, a person who represents the government's position on science, which he believed was the correct position.

Rogers also recently referred to fellow NFL player Travis Kelce as "Mr. Pfizer" after Kelce appeared in a 2023 Pfizer commercial. The ad endorsed the idea of getting both a flu vaccine and a COVID-19 vaccine at the same time.

The New York Jets star later challenged Kelce to a debate on vaccines where Rodgers would be paired with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Kelce would be backed by Dr. Fauci. Kelce responded by referring to Rodgers as being part of the "Johnson & Johnson family," as the New York Jets are owned by an heir of the Johnson & Johnson company, Woody Johnson.

In early September 2023, Rodgers mocked vaccine producer Moderna while attending the U.S. Open tennis tournament in New York. Rodgers was supporting tennis star Novak Djokovic, who is famously unvaccinated.

Social experiment PROVES Bud Light is SCREWED



If you needed more proof that Bud Light isn’t doing too hot amidst its recent devastating fall in sales, Chad Prather and Clay Travis have you covered.

Prather reports that Clay Travis uploaded clips of a social experiment to social media, and the results were exactly as you’d expect.

Travis filled a cooler with Bud Light and other assorted beers at the beginning of a party before leaving the cooler alone for the night.

At the end of the night, the only beers left in the cooler were — you guessed it — Bud Light.

“I’m not a marketing expert, but the only beer left,” Travis said as he recorded the cooler full of Bud Light.

Travis recorded this video after Anheuser-Busch came under fire for using transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney to market Bud Light, and it appears most beer drinkers are not happy about it.

Including Chad Prather.

Prather says, “This is about the exploitation of women. Ultimately it’s the exploitation of children. This is an influencer that you’re promoting and pushing up there who has a very dangerous message.”

Prather adds that his stance on this issue has received backlash, and he’s being told to just “leave people alone.”

“I would love to leave people alone,” he says, “but I’m not the one who’s pushed for the chemical castration of children. I’m not the one that’s forced biological males to go into women’s bathrooms. I’m not the one who wanted biological males to compete against women in sports or any other thing. I’m not giving 'Woman of the Year' to a biological male.”

“You didn’t leave it alone,” he continues, “so now I’m not going to leave it alone.”

Wrong man receives invite to play in Masters Tournament in humorous mix-up: 'It’s like getting an invitation to heaven from God'



There are at least two men named Scott Stallings with ties to St. Simons Island, Georgia. Both men have wives named Jennifer, and both play golf. However, one Scott Stallings is better at the game than the other. Much better. In fact, 37-year-old Scott Stallings of Tennessee was supposed to receive an invitation to the 2023 Masters Tournament in April, but the other Scott Stallings, whose age is unknown but who appears slightly older than 37, received the invitation instead. The humorous mix-up was soon made right, thanks to a few direct messages on Instagram.

On January 2, pro golfer Stallings wrote on Instagram that he had been checking his mailbox "five times a day" in the last few weeks, knowing that he had qualified for the Masters and seeing that other pro golfers had already posted pictures of their invitations on social media. But day after day, he walked away without the coveted letter.

Then he received a DM from another man with the same name, and that DM seemed to solve the mystery of the missing invite. After explaining the similarities the two men share, the other Stallings said that he had received an interesting FedEx package that likely had been misdirected.

"I’m (100%) sure this is NOT for me. I play but wow! No where near your level," the other Stallings' Instagram message read in part. "It’s a very nice package complete with everything needed to attend. I think we have some confusion because of our names, our wife’s names and geographical location. I can be reached at [redacted] and I am more than happy to send this package to you."

The amateur golfer Stallings, who boasts a handicap in the 90s, then shared his next steps on Twitter, joking that he was magnanimously sending his Masters invitation to "the other Scott Stallings."

\u201cI promise you I wasn\u2019t kidding! @TheMasters Invitation mailed to you. My wife made me do it! You\u2019re Welcome @stallingsgolf\u201d
— TheStallingsTeam (@TheStallingsTeam) 1672693836

The story quickly went viral, and the two men have since made at least one appearance together. In a recent virtual chat with OutKick, the other Stallings described the feeling he experienced when he received the Masters invitation: "It's like getting an invitation to heaven from God."

\u201c\u201cIt\u2019s like getting an invitation to heaven from God.\u201d\n\nThe \u2018other\u2019 Scott Stallings and the \u2018real\u2019 Scott Stallings joined @Outkick for an awesome conversation. \n\nhttps://t.co/oYgGidL3Ee\n\n\u201d
— Mark Harris (@Mark Harris) 1672933612

Though the cause of the mix-up remains unknown, pro golfer Stallings used to own a sports management company with an office next door to a condo that amateur golfer Stallings and his wife own in St. Simons Island, Georgia, along the Atlantic coast. Perhaps that connection created confusion for tournament officials.

Whatever the cause, the two men have found an amicable solution. This April will mark pro golfer Stallings' third appearance at the Masters. He tied for 27th place in the 2012 tournament. He is currently in Hawaii, playing in the Sentry Tournament of Champions. He has promised to provide Masters practice-round tickets to the other Scott and Jennifer and to take the couple out to dinner sometime that week "for doing the right thing."

Chris Wallace's new Sunday show bombs in debut



The title of the new CNN Sunday show hosted by Chris Wallace, "Who's Talking to Chris Wallace?", might ask a remarkably appropriate question, though perhaps not in the way its creators and producers intended. "Who's Talking?" recently debuted to abysmal numbers, leaving some of Wallace's colleagues and supporters scrambling to spin the news favorably.

At 7 p.m. Eastern time last Sunday, Wallace's show premiered on the network. Even though CNN promoted the show heavily, it drew just 401,000 total viewers and a measly 44,000 viewers in the coveted 25-54 age demographic, according to Nielsen Media Research.

Comparing those numbers to the show's competition and to other CNN shows that previously aired in the same time slot demonstrates just how poorly the "Who's Talking" launch went. The numbers represent a 29% drop from the 7 p.m. overall network average in 2022 and a 64% drop among the 25-54 group. By contrast, "Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy" over at Wallace's former network, Fox News, drew a staggering 1.3 million total viewers, more than three times Wallace's audience. It's worth noting, however, that Gowdy's show debuted in June 2021, so it may already have established a core audience.

Still, Wallace has had difficulty finding his niche since he left Fox earlier this year after 18 years with the network. He signed with CNN for a hefty salary between $6 and $10 million a year. At the time, Jeff Zucker was still the president of CNN Worldwide, and Zucker and the network were eagerly anticipating the launch of CNN+, a new subscription-based streaming service on which Wallace was supposed to star.

But like Wallace's new show, CNN+ tanked. It debuted on March 29 and was canceled by April 28, leaving hosts and staff reeling. Meanwhile, Zucker resigned, and new president Chris Licht began to reshuffle the priorities at CNN. "Who's Talking," which was initially intended to air four days a week on CNN+, was then reworked into a Sunday evening show on network TV.

Despite the discouraging launch of "Who's Talking," CNN remains encouraged about its future. "We’re thrilled with the launch and Chris’s news-making interviews," a network spokesperson said. The unnamed spokesperson also noted that three episodes of the show, including the premiere, were made available for streaming on Friday, and streaming viewers would not have been included in the numbers.

"Live domestic TV viewers represent only a fraction of [the show's] intended audience," another source at CNN reportedly said, suggesting that ratings don't tell the whole story.

Still, CNN's optimism hasn't kept other media outlets and personalities from hammering the poor showing:
