The Rubin Report

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Clay Travis about building OutKick during the early days of independent media; the evolution of sports journalism before and after 2015; how podcasting shifted from audio to YouTube dominance; the impact of Trump’s 2016 win; selling OutKick and how financial success gave him more freedom but didn’t change his passion for work; how sports media became overtaken by identity politics around 2015; why woke culture peaked with trans athletes like Lia Thomas and ESPN’s award decisions; and how Clay’s new book explores Trump, sports fans, and cancel culture; why professional athletes failed to push back against woke sports culture; how fear of backlash and team control silenced dissent on issues like BLM and trans athletes; why only top-tier talent like Aaron Rodgers can defy political narratives; how Colin Kaepernick’s activism outweighed his skills as a backup quarterback; how media hypocrisy extends to figures like Harvey Weinstein and Epstein; and much more.
