Travis Kelce has broken his silence over his Kansas City Chiefs teammate Harrison Butker's controversial recent speech where he said women are destined to be homemakers. Butker sparked widespread outrage with a 20-minute speech at Benedictine College, Kansas, where he directly addressed female graduates and told them to be excited for the 'vocation' of being a homemaker, using his wife as an example. Now, speaking on the latest episode of New Heights, Kelce - who was recording the show from Europe, where he is joining girlfriend Taylor Swift on her Eras Tour - stood up for his teammate against the backlash, even though he disagreed with his views.

So the viral internet story that he would quit the team if Butker was not fired was just that- a phony story.

Kelce, try repeating to your sweetie, Swift, what Butkers said and see if she agrees with it. This will test the strength of your relationship.

I watched the commencement address; clearly, the reporter and the editor did not. NO WHERE did he say women were "destined" to be homemakers. He said some women were looking forward to careers and many others, possibly more, would be most excited about marriage and the children they would have. And the problem with that is...???? Sadly, many women come around to this reality too late. God bless Harrison Butker for presenting home and family as not just an option but a meaningful and fulfilling one. I have two sons and a law degree. Guess which I value more?

Buter did not say women are destined to be homemakers. Looking out at a Catholic audience, he said some of them were about to start careers, but that he would bet most [of those he was talking to] were looking forward to marriage and children, which he then praised. ... Listen, if what he said was so bad, why is it necessary to misquote it to gin up opposition? The real words are just fine.

Admire Travis Kelce. A few years ago his coach, Andy Reid, told his team that they should take a knee in the National Anthem to shows solidarity with their black teammates. Kelce refused. He stands for the National Anthem and places his hand over his heart. In other words he thinks for himself.

I was happy to see Kelce back up his teammate even as he also uttered the politically correct stance as well. So, yes Travis you can have it both ways. But, it is important that he backed up his team mate. However, Kelce did take a knee at the playing of the national anthem in 2017.

so what!!! Butker said what he was thinking but it didn't fit the "narrative" of the demcommies so .... he's emasculated and now finds himself in the throes of so much B-S it's hard to imagine what he's going through "but, but, but, but" if robert deniro would say something as "offending" as what Butker said he'd be praised and lauded like the second coming of christ what a bunch of crap this is but the demcommies control the media so .... there will be no end to this kind of harassment and defacing, sorry to say

I don't recall hearing Butker say women were destined to be homemakers. He said some of you will CHOOSE to be moms. He also said some of you will become professionals and make it big in corporate America.

Kelce did OK, but he straddled, and unconscionably seemed to drag race into the discussion to show to his Hollywood friends what a swell fellow he is. The only meaningful "diversity" issue presented by the kicker's remarks is between those of orthodox faith and those not so. Presumably, blacks and whites are found on both sides. On the other hand, Pat Mahomes and Andy Reid were straightforward and great. Mahomes is always a class act.

It's too bad so many people don't know how to read, or only hear one sentence someone has said and misinterpret it. I guess they're too busy trying to find fault with something a good, decent person has said and can't wait to give their opinion. If they don't agree that some women will have a career and some will be happy to be homemakers, they are the ones with a problem, not Butker. I've talked to a lot of women since the lefties have tried to take down Butker, and we all agree that our greatest achievement has been having our beloved children and watching them grow. I'm sure most dads feel the same way. I guess I should feel sorry for the ones who carry so much hate around and feel the need to broadcast it. Never apologize Harrison Butker.

My mom "stayed at home" and along with all the other moms in the community created a wonderful place to grow up. My wife did the same thing and I've got four outstanding grown-up married kids raising the next generation. Nobody has regrets about mom's staying home.

A man is accused of throwing flaming liquid onto another man on the subway in New York City, as residents endure rising assaults on trains. The 23-year-old Albanian man who was burned, Petrit Alijaj, told the New York Post he leapt in front of his fiancée to shield her from the liquid, the outlet reported Saturday. “I protect my fiancée with my body,” he explained. Alijaj spoke to the outlet while lying in his hospital bed after 30 percent of his body was burned during the incident. Images show the victim with his entire body covered in bandages, and the suspect in the case being hauled away by police:

Twice failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton refuses to accept the fact that she lost the 2016 election to former President Donald Trump because Americans like him better. During an interview with The New Times, Clinton blamed sexism for losing out to Trump. Instead of taking accountability, Clinton claimed that women voters abandoned her for not being “perfect,” arguing that they took a “risk” on Trump because he is a man. Just days before the election, then-FBI Director James Comey re-opened an investigation into Clinton.

Trump lawyer Alina Habba said jurors in the former president’s business records trial “should have been sequestered” over Memorial Day weekend in order to prevent their friends and families from trying to influence their opinions. During an interview on Fox News, Habba, who represents former President Donald Trump, said she felt the jury should have been sequestered away from the news media or even their family and friends over the holiday weekend, adding that they are dealing with a case that is “completely unprecedented and unwarranted.” Habba’s comments come as the 12 jurors are expected to deliver their verdict regarding Trump facing 34 counts of falsifying business records

Trump was trying to pry some Libertarian Party voters away from Robert Kennedy. who spoke earlier in the day to a sparse crowd.

At this point in time finding Donald Trump guilty of anything, any crime at all, is just a matter of Judge Juan Merchan following through on expectations. The entire world is watching what happens in New York City through the prism of ridiculous lawfare and politics. No intellectually honest observers believe this is a trial about substance, guilt, criminal activity or innocence therein. The illusion of a nonprejudicial justice system has long past and everyone can see the extreme politicization taking place in Judge Merchan’s courtroom.

Where was Donald Trump at this point? Four years ago in the poll, he was just at 9% of the vote." "So he's seen more than a doubling in his support among African-Americans," he continued.
