Daily Wire host Andrew Klavan sat down with political commentator Megyn Kelly on her eponymous podcast Wednesday to discuss a range of topics‚ including the recent outrage from the Left over women’s basketball star Caitlin Clark’s rookie salary. Clark‚ who became the all-time leading scorer in NCAA basketball during her senior season at Iowa‚ was selected No. 1 overall in the WNBA draft earlier this week‚ and many on social media — all the way up to the White House — took issue with Clark’s contract compared to what rookie NBA stars make. Kelly began the segment by quoting a social media post by President Joe Biden‚ who wrote in part‚ “Even if you’re the best‚ women are not paid their fair share.” “First of all‚ who the hell wants to hear from this White House — which is allowing and trying to make it more expansive for boys to play against girls in women’s sports — about fairness‚ right&;#63;” Kelly asked‚ before describing the controversy over Clark’s four-year $338‚000 contract compared to last year’s NBA first-overall draft pick Victor Wembanyama‚ who signed a four-year $55 million contract. “They’re not paying these guys in the NBA that much money because they love throwing their money away; they’re paying it because that’s how much money they’re bringing in‚” Klavan said. “That’s how capitalism works. If you’re bringing in the money‚ you get paid for what you do.” “And listen‚ Caitlin Clark is a wonderful athlete‚” the Daily Wire host continued. “In fact‚ her college championship game was watched more than the men’s championship game‚ and if she can do that in the WNBA‚ believe me‚ she’ll be earning that kind of money when she re-negotiates her contract.” Klavan said that paying Clark similar to what NBA players make wouldn’t work with the economics of the WNBA as the NBA brings in roughly 100x the revenue of the professional women’s league. The author of “The House of Love and Death” added that the debate over WNBA players’ salaries highlights deep hypocrisy from the Left. “The Left started out by saying to us‚ ‘There’s no difference between men and women. We have to treat them exactly equally.’ And now they’re saying there’s so little difference that a man can be a woman‚ and if you say that a man can’t be a woman and play sports at another level in the women’s game‚ you’re being somehow bigoted‚” Klavan remarked. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “The entire thing is genuinely an attack on women‚” he continued. “It genuinely is a hatred of women. And I really do believe this‚ by the way: I believe the Left despises women at their core for the simple reason that the things that women do occur in a different moral structure than the things that men do.”  

Defense attorneys for the 29-year-old man accused of killing four University of Idaho students in 2022 say cellphone evidence places the suspect away from the area where the murders took place. The suspect‚ who is not being named by The Daily Wire‚ plans to use cellphone tower data to show that he was out driving on the night the students were killed‚ but never went near their off-campus home‚ ABC News reported. “[The suspect] was out driving in the early morning hours of Nov. 13‚ 2022‚ as he often did to hike and run and/or see the moon and stars. He drove throughout the area south of Pullman‚ Washington‚ west of Moscow‚ Idaho‚” Anne Taylor‚ the suspect’s lead attorney‚ wrote in a new court filing. To back this up‚ the defense plans to call an expert witness “to show that [the suspect’s] mobile device was south of Pullman‚ Washington and west of Moscow‚ Idaho on November 13‚ 2022; that [the suspect’s] mobile device did not travel east on the Moscow-Pullman Highway in the early morning hours of November 13th‚” according to the court filing. For this reason‚ the defense claims‚ the suspect’s car could not be the one seen on video surveillance driving on the Moscow-Pullman highway on the night of the murders. The suspect has been charged with four counts of murder and one count of burglary relating to the killings of Ethan Chapin‚ 20; Kaylee Goncalves‚ 21; Xana Kernodle‚ 20; and Madison Mogen‚ 21‚ in the early morning hours of November 13‚ 2022‚ in the college town of Moscow‚ Idaho. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Part of the evidence that led to the suspect’s arrest‚ mentioned in a previously unsealed probable cause affidavit‚ showed that police were able to narrow the timeframe of the crime to between 4:00 a.m. and 4:25 a.m. and reviewed video footage taken in the area in the time before and after the murders are believed to have occurred. Video showed a white Hyundai Elantra without a front license plate (front license plates are required in Washington and Idaho‚ but not in Pennsylvania‚ where the car was registered) in the area between 3:29 a.m. and 4:20 a.m. The vehicle can be seen passing the off-campus residence three times before returning a fourth time around 4:04 a.m. and attempting to turn around on the road. The vehicle was next seen around 4:20 a.m. traveling away from the direction of the off-campus residence at high speed‚ heading in the direction of a road that eventually leads to Pullman‚ Washington‚ where the suspect attended Washington State University (WSU). Video footage from the WSU campus showed a white Hyundai Elantra leaving the area and heading toward Moscow at around 2:53 a.m. At around 5:25 a.m.‚ this vehicle was again observed on five cameras in Pullman and the WSU campus. Police pulled records for white Hyundai Elantras registered at WSU on November 29 – just over two weeks after the murders were committed – and found one belonging to the man who was eventually arrested. Police reviewed the owner’s Washington state driver’s license and determined he matched the suspect’s physical description provided by one of the surviving roommates. Police matched the suspect to the vehicle through two previous traffic stops in the months before the murders. They also learned that the suspect registered his car in Washington and received Washington plates on November 18 – five days after the murders. Police also reviewed cell phone data to show the suspect’s phone did not ping any cellular towers near the crime scene during the relevant timeframe‚ but an expanded examination of cell phone data showed the phone stopped reporting data to the network at around 2:47 a.m. At that time‚ the white Elantra was leaving Pullman and heading toward Moscow. The phone next pinged at 4:48 a.m. in an area south of Moscow‚ heading back to Pullman. Cell records also showed that the suspect left his home in Pullman around 9:00 a.m. on November 13 and traveled back to Moscow. Cell records dating back to June 2022 showed the suspect’s phone was in the crime scene area on at least 12 occasions before the murders – all but one in the late evening or early morning hours.

“Euphoria” actress Sydney Sweeney clapped back at the film producer who said she was “not pretty” and not good at her job. Carol Baum‚ best known for her work with Dolly Parton’s TV and film production company Sandollar Productions‚ made her observations about Sweeney during a “Dead Ringers” (1988) film screening on April 11. The producer spoke with New York Times critic Janet Maslin during a Q&;A‚ saying she was underwhelmed by Sweeney’s romantic comedy “Anyone But You‚” which she said she had watched recently on an airplane.  “I wanted to know who she is and why everybody’s talking about her‚” Baum said‚ per The Daily Mail. “I watched this unwatchable movie — sorry to people who love this movie — (this) romantic comedy where they hate each other.” The executive producer‚ who has worked in the industry since the late 1980s‚ also teaches at the University of Southern California. “I said to my class‚ ‘Explain this girl to me‚’” Baum continued. “She’s not pretty. She can’t act. Why is she so hot&;#63;” Sweeney’s rep responded with a statement to USA Today blasting Baum for her comments. “How sad that a woman in the position to share her expertise and experience chooses instead to attack another woman‚” the actress’s rep said. “If that’s what she’s learned in her decades in the industry and feels is appropriate to teach to her students‚ that’s shameful. To unjustly disparage a fellow female producer speaks volumes about Ms. Baum’s character.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Maslin also addressed the comments going viral with an X post shared on Tuesday. “We brought up ‘Anyone But You’ because it’s been the rare smash hit rom-com at a time when they aren’t working‚” the NYT critic wrote. “Not because we wanted to take cheap shots at anyone.” Plenty of fans and coworkers took the opportunity to heap praise on Sweeney. “Immaculate” producer Teddy Schwarzman wrote on X‚ “I’ll enlighten Ms. Baum that two-time Emmy nominee Sydney Sweeney is not only one of the most talented actresses I’ve worked with‚ but also incredibly smart‚ kind and humble. I’m not sure why someone who claims to still be a producer would make such terribly ugly comments‚ but I can assure everyone that Sydney is at least beautiful on the inside.”

A six-term House Democrat from New Jersey remains hospitalized more than a week after he experienced a “cardiac episode‚” according to his office. The office of Rep. Donald Payne Jr. (D-NJ)‚ a 65-year-old husband and father of triplets‚ released a statement on Wednesday with an update on the congressman’s condition. “Congressman Donald M. Payne‚ Jr. suffered a cardiac episode based on complications from his diabetes last week‚” the statement said. “Today‚ he is in stable condition at a local hospital and continues to be under doctor’s care. While we hope for a full recovery‚ we ask everyone to keep him in your prayers.” The statement was less confident than one released last week when Payne’s office first acknowledged a health incident over the previous weekend. At the time‚ Payne’s team insisted he had a “good” prognosis and was expected to make a full recovery. Payne’s office sent out the update on the congressman’s health in the hours after the New Jersey Globe reported that Payne had suffered a heart attack on April 6 and had not regained consciousness since that time. The report also said Payne had been hooked onto a ventilator in an intensive care unit at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center for 11 days. In terms of House business‚ Payne’s absence could have an impact as lawmakers consider foreign aid legislation. The chamber is narrowly divided‚ with Republicans holding a slim majority. A flurry of well-wishes appeared on social media after the New Jersey Globe report got published on Wednesday and Payne’s office did not deny its contents. “Keeping my friend [Donald Payne] in my thoughts‚” Rep. Donald Norcross (D-NJ) said in a post to X. “He means so much to New Jersey and we are all praying for his swift recovery.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Anthony Coley‚ a legal analyst and former Department of Justice official‚ said crisis medical communications for politicians “can be tough‚” noting his own experiences working with former New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine‚ Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA)‚ and Rep. John Lewis (D-GA). “Rule of thumb—candor w/ constituents is always the best‚” he said‚ “Bad choice by staff/family to conceal this info early on.” Coley added‚ “Prayers for the Congressman’s complete recovery.”

Major League Baseball season is upon us‚ and with it will come what is known as “Dog Day” at many stadiums. Dog day is when people can bring their baseball-loving family pets to the ballpark to enjoy a game. For Makenzie and her golden retriever Rafi‚ “Dog Day at the Rays” has been a go-to event for several years. Unfortunately‚ they were already sold out when she went to get tickets. Mackenzie is a TikTok influencer‚ and Rafi is 13 years old. Afraid this might be his last game‚ she took to TikTok and made a special video just for the Tampa Bay Rays. @makenziecann @TAMPA BAY RAYS if you happen to have a ticket for my sweet 13 year old golden &; i for this sunday&;#33;&;#33; shooting out shot&;#33; ♬ original sound – makenziecann The response from her fans was predictable‚ with many folks urging the Rays to “hook a girl up.” The Dallas Stars‚ a hockey team‚ even added a nudge.

So‚ when Makenzie slid into her DMs‚ she found the surprise of all surprises. She and her golden retriever were going to the game&;#33; But they weren’t just going to the game. Rafi got VIP treatment and his own Tampa Bay Rays jersey with the number “13” and his name&;#33; The team sent representatives to the stands to help Rafi dress appropriately for this special day. @makenziecann @TAMPA BAY RAYS with the surprise custom jersey. 🩵 #13 might be my new favorite. ♬ wildest dreams stolen version harmonies TS stems – andreaaashop Rafi watched intently while enjoying a “Ballpark Hotdog” stuffed toy during the game.

Jeff Corwin appeared in the world of nature‚ in “reality” shows‚ when the Croc Hunter was on everyone’s viewing list. As we watched Australian Steve Irwin‚ a very young Jeff Corwin was comic relief. There are tons of bloopers and errors in judgment that make him almost comical. You can find blooper reals of his earlier years online in mass numbers. This TikTok commenter voices what a lot of us thought. Image from TikTok. That was then‚ and this is now. Since those early days‚ Jeff has become a well-known and respected member of the naturalist community‚ on and off-screen. A recent incident with Pat the Octopus brought Jeff back to earlier days. The curse words are bleeped‚ so this might be NSFW‚ but it’s not bad. Pat welcomed Jeff by “showering” him with love. @wildcorwin A humbling experience with Pat‚ the Giant Pacific octopus @Alaska SeaLife Center. GPO are known for their incredible intelligence‚ complex emotions‚ and‚ in Pat’s case‚ cheeky attitude&;#33; #wildlife #nature #bloopers #oops ♬ original sound – Jeff Corwin This was not Jeff’s first encounter with Pat. He has visited the octopus on several occasions as she grew. Pat is a Giant Pacific Octopus (GPO). The species is known for its intelligence‚ size‚ and color-changing ability. GPOs can live from three to five years‚ whereas regular octopi only live an average of one year. GPOs don’t mate until later in life; a mother often dies soon after her brood hatches. Returning to Jeff’s visit with Pat at the Alaska SeaLife Center. Jeff attempted to talk about the giant cephalopod when she decided to seal his lips to shut him up. You can see the power of the suction cups by checking out the marks left on Jeff’s face and arms after his encounter. @wildcorwin Replying to @Robyn More fun with Pat‚ the Giant Pacific octopus.
