Social media Influencer and Blaze TV contributor Alex Stein aka Prime Time 99, burst into the Barstool Sports headquarters with a half-naked man earlier this week. 

The chaotic scene was captured on video by Stein and tweeted out to his 388,000 followers. A small scuffle ensued with Stein antagonizing Barstool staff members and shouting about Fox News host Tucker Carlson. 

“Don’t make fun of Tucker Carlson. Francis [Ellis], Do not make fun of Tucker. Do not make fun of Tucker,” he said. 

Stein was referencing a comment made by Ellis during a Barstool podcast claiming Carlson is “trafficking in hate.” 

On Wednesday, Stein appeared on Jason Whitlock’s “Fearless”podcast to discuss his ongoing beef with Barstool founder Dave Portnoy. 

“Anybody that thought I was there to trespass or do anything dangerous, I was there to troll them. “There was a time when Barstool was cool and that Portnoy was the cool kid on campus,” Stein said. 

“Now, sadly that they’ve sold out to gambling companies, they’ve become corporate America,” he added. “It’s just like everybody else, whether you’re a politician or a superstar or a celebrity, once the money comes, it changes your whole persona and your outlook.” 

Earlier this year, Jason Whitlock wrote that Portnoy “had no redeeming qualities” to which Portnoy responded by calling Whitlock “fat.” 

Stein’s now-viral video shows him being assaulted by two women who struck him and shoved him onto an elevator. 

Stein said his beef with Portnoy started when Portnoy uninvited him from a Barstool podcast.

Dana Perino co-stars on The Five, but before becoming one of the stars of Fox News, she needed to find her footing at the network. In a recent podcast appearance on the Ruthless Podcastshe talked about her experience in the early years with Fox News.

Perino credited Sean Hannity for his support and guidance when she joined the news media outlet. She states that Hannity played a crucial role in helping her navigate the complex world of cable news after leaving her role as White House Press Secretary.

“Sean said, ‘Why don’t you come up and be on my show?'” Perino said. “What I didn’t know is that here at Fox, he had suggested that they might want to consider me as a contributor.”

Furthermore, Hannity backed Dana Perino despite the network not wanting another person from the Bush administration at the time. The Fox News host also supported her as she navigated the transition from talking to the media to giving her opinion.

“Sean said, ‘She’s different; let me try.'” Perino added “I was so terrible at the beginning, and shy, worried. I didn’t want to give my opinion… and to Sean’s credit, he kept up with it. He always had me back.”

Eventually, Perino would find her way as a contributor and land on The Five when the program launched.

NewsNation host Elizabeth Vargas knows what she’ll focus on when co-moderating the fourth Republican presidential primary debate alongside SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly, and the Washington Free Beacon’s Eliana Johnson.

For Vargas, her focus will be more on Trump, who has not participated in any of the events so far but continues to lead his competitors in the polls by a wide margin with the candidates at the debate.

“Right now they are running against Trump,” Vargas told the Los Angeles Times. “So there will be many questions about him.”

The event will be at the University of Alabama’s Frank Moody Music Building in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, on December 6. The candidates participating in the debate will be entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and Chris Christie, the former New Jersey governor.

Meanwhile, Trump will participate in a Fox News town hall on Tuesday with Sean Hannity rather than partake in the latest Republican primary debate.
