<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a video posted Sunday on his </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C44RF2Nq3eh/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=7b70c4f6-b2e3-493f-8d29-9389a8bf2b4b"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instagram</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> account, the 65-year-old actor said he was stranded at the airport in Houston, Texas, because he spoke up about another passenger wearing a face covering.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I just got kicked off a plane in &#8212; where the hell am I at? &#8212; Houston, Texas, because I told them I didn&#8217;t feel comfortable sitting next to somebody with a mask on,&#8221; Smith told his fans. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I&#8217;ve been sitting in the airport for three hours, yeah, I&#8217;m drinking,&#8221; he added. &#8220;But I ain&#8217;t drunk. But they throwed me off the plane because I&#8217;m drunk because you people won&#8217;t stand up and tell everybody what bulls**t this is.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I just told them I didn&#8217;t feel comfortable about sitting next to somebody that had to wear a mask,&#8221; Smith continued. &#8220;And I&#8217;m off the plane.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the time of this publication, it is unclear where he was traveling to, what exactly happened on the plane, or which airline allegedly kicked him off the flight.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;The same people who are criticizing me or coming up with these conspiracies about my injury, before they talk, let&#8217;s go back to 2021 and let&#8217;s make people say their vax status to start,&#8221; Rodgers said, adding that it &#8220;would frame all these comments in the right window.&#8221;</span></p>

<p>New York Jets quarterback <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/aaron-rodgers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a> took another swipe at Dr. Anthony Fauci on Tuesday amid a discussion about how long his football injury would sideline him following speculation that his rehab could be ahead of schedule.</p>
<p>During Rodgers&#8217;s weekly <a href="https://www.outkick.com/aaron-rodgers-fauci-defying-science-pat-mcafee-show/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appearance</a> on &#8220;<a href="https://x.com/awfulannouncing/status/1714333873625051446?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Pat McAfee Show</a>,&#8221; he was asked about footage showing him throwing a few passes without crutches after he tore his Achilles tendon in the first game of the season.</p>
<p>Rodgers said he tried &#8220;a newer, innovative&#8221; surgery to return faster than others who sustained a similar injury.</p>
<p>Co-host AJ Hawk said that Rodgers does things &#8220;his own way,&#8221; to which McAfee replied, &#8220;This guy does things his own way. He actually defies science.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;If science is Dr. Fauci, you&#8217;re damn right I&#8217;m defying science,&#8221; Rodgers replied, as the hosts laughed.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Last week, Rodgers labeled Fauci a &#8220;pharmocrat&#8221; and threw down the gauntlet for a &#8220;duel&#8221; or vaccine debate to Chiefs&#8217; player Travis Kelce, who he&#8217;s nicknamed &#8220;Mr. Pfizer&#8221; after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end appeared in a Pfizer ad campaign.</p>
<p>On the <a href="https://twitter.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1711807257405509951?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">podcast</a> last week, the hosts talked to Rodgers about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/travis-kelce-responds-to-aaron-rodgers-calling-him-mr-pfizer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kelce&#8217;s recent comment</a> about getting &#8220;into the vax wars&#8221; with the Jets QB.</p>

<p>&#8220;Mr. Pfizer said he didn&#8217;t think he&#8217;d be in a vax war with me,&#8221; Rodgers said. &#8220;This ain&#8217;t a war homie, this is conversation.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;But if you want to have some sort of duel, debate, have me on the podcast,&#8221; he added, referencing Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce&#8217;s popular podcast &#8220;New Heights.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Come on the show!&#8221; Rodgers continued, mentioning McAfee&#8217;s show. &#8220;Let&#8217;s have a conversation. Let&#8217;s do it like in &#8216;John Wick 4,&#8217; so we both have a second, somebody to help us out.&#8221; Rodgers said his &#8220;second&#8221; would be independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and said the Kansas City Chiefs star could have Fauci or &#8220;some other pharmocrat.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I think there&#8217;s some sentiment that there&#8217;s some sort of moral victory there,&#8221; Rodgers told the host. &#8220;That we hung with the champs.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And that our defense played well and Pat [Mahomes] didn&#8217;t have a crazy game,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And Mr. Pfizer, we kind of shut him down a little bit. He didn&#8217;t have any crazy impact on the game, other than some yards and stuff.&#8221;</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>The comments left the host busting up laughing, but he attempted to cover up his snickers from disrupting the Jets QB&#8217;s remarks.</p>
<p>&#8220;I felt like for the most part we played really tough on defense the last three quarters and that was important for us,&#8221; he added. Rodgers could hear the laughter coming from the other side of the microphone and was smiling.</p>
<p>The smiling got bigger the more he heard the giggles, but the QB kept his composure noting that &#8220;offensively&#8221; he thought the team had some ways to go.</p>
<p>The clip has since gone viral with more than <a href="https://x.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1709274038516777243?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">7 million views</a> and counting. &#8220;Mr. Pfizer&#8221; also began trending on X.</p>
<p>The subtle dig from Rodgers at the Kansas City player comes after Kelce appeared in a recent ad from Pfizer pushing people to not only get their COVID vaccine shot but their flu shot too.</p>
