And it was something that was inexplicable to me. I think, one point, I wouldn\u2019t exactly say in my defense, because nothing is really in my defense; I didn\u2019t think I was on the call. I didn\u2019t think other people could see me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On September 15, 2017, Travis appeared on CNN with host Brooke Baldwin, where they discussed former President Trump targeting ESPN personality Jemele Hill, who had called Trump a white supremacist.<\/p>\n<p>Baldwin stated, \u201cOf all the different columnists or even magazines, in the wake of Charlottesville, specifically, that have called out the president as racist, why do you think he really took this particular target on, ESPN, and Jemele?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I think because ESPN\u2019s not really in the business of commenting randomly on political-related issues, Travis replied. \u201cIf you look at their history, they established about 18 months ago that they don\u2019t believe their people should be involved in non-sports-related political controversies. They suspended and then fired Curt Schilling for saying that he disagreed with the North Carolina bathroom bill. And that had absolutely nothing to do with sports. And they said, \u201cLook, you can\u2019t have this opinion; it\u2019s too conservative. We\u2019re not going to allow it. I think that\u2019s a bad move; I\u2019m a first amendment absolutist. I believe in only two things completely: the First Amendment and boobs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cAnd so once they made the decision that they were not going to allow a conservative non-sports-related commentary, they couldn\u2019t \u2014<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWait, did you just say you believe in the First Amendment and \u2014 Clay, hold on, hold on, hold on,\u201d Baldwin interjected. \u201cI just want to make sure I heard you correctly as a woman anchoring this show. Did you just say, what did you say? You said you believe in the First Amendment and b-double-o-bs?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoobs. Two things that have only never let me down in this entire country\u2019s history,\u201d Travis reiterated. \u201cThe First Amendment and boobs. So those are the only two things I believe in absolutely in the country. So I don\u2019t think Jemele Hill should be fired, but I do think straight up that once you make the decision that you were going to let Curt Schilling go that you have to also make the decision that you\u2019re going to let Jemele Hill go. I think that\u2019s a bad decision; I think that ESPN has made bad decisions that have led to 13 million subscribers bailing on the network. They\u2019ve made bad decisions that have led to ratings collapsing; Jemele Hill\u2019s television show is collapsing. Ratings were down 20% last week over last year; that\u2019s why she\u2019s angry. That\u2019s why she went after Donald Trump. She\u2019s begging for ESPN to fire her so she can work somewhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later in the interview, Baldwin burst out, \u201cWhy would you even say that on national television and with a female host?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"CNN host stunned when Clay Travis says he believes in the First Amendment and boobs\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EZOobXev_iA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/the-fix\/wp\/2017\/09\/15\/clay-travis-used-his-first-amendment-and-boobs-line-long-before-he-shocked-cnn\/\">reported<\/a> the same day, \u201cA CNN spokeswoman said Travis would not be invited back on the network\u2019s air,\u201d adding that Travis had used the line well before his CNN interview: \u201cTravis\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkickthecoverage.com\/all-that-and-a-bag-of-mail-062615\/\">wrote<\/a>\u00a0in June 2015 that \u2018absolutism on either the right or the left is scary to me \u2014 which is why I\u2019m a radical moderate \u2014 who believes in only two things absolutely: the First Amendment and boobs.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
