Ep 416 | Caitlin Clark Is Basketball’s Tiger Woods, Dawn Staley & Angel Reese Channel Fuzzy Zoeller
All season long, Iowa’s Caitlin Clark has been the best player in all of women’s basketball. Her play propelled the Hawkeyes into the national championship game and appears to have ruffled the feathers of the college basketball establishment. South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley didn’t seem to handle her team’s loss to Clark and Iowa very well and responded by playing the race card. “Staley deflected attention away from her coaching errors and Clark’s magnificent performance by complaining that unnamed reporters called South Carolina players thugs and monkeys. Staley framed Iowa coach Lisa Bluder’s harmless comment about a rebounding 'bar fight' as racist. Staley invented a racial narrative out of thin air. Corporate media sold Staley’s lies and gossip.” The controversy didn’t stop there. In the final seconds of LSU’s victory over Iowa, the Tigers’ Angel Reese stalked and taunted Clark. When some labeled Reese’s conduct as “classless,” social media quickly responded in typical “what about” fashion. Some compared Reese’s actions to the same gesture that Clark had made during a recent game, but Jason argues the two couldn’t be any more different. The “Fearless Army" is here to join the discussion. Coach Jason Brown discusses the leadership failure in college athletics. Shemeka Michelle makes her argument that Reese’s actions were just part of the game. Steve Kim and Jason expose another terrible take from Shannon Sharpe. T.J. Moe drops in with athletes, and we dive into the culture war with Royce White. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep 415 | Whitlock Interviews Donald Trump Jr. | Junior Rips DeSantis | Royce & Bryson Disagree
“They’ve turned me into a MAGA person. It’s a line in the sand for me, and Donald Trump is the only one I believe can hold the line, and I’m going to be right there holding it with him.” Strong words from Jason following the indictment of former President Donald Trump on flimsy business fraud charges by the George Soros-backed liberal district attorney in Manhattan. Donald Trump Jr. joins the show to discuss how his father is holding up, what he thinks about Ron DeSantis, and why he believes there is no other alternative to Donald Trump in 2024. Plus, “Fearless” contributors Royce White and Bryson Gray debate the character of Trump and the role of government in legislating morality.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 414 | ‘Mostly Peaceful’ Insurrection at TN State Capitol | Nashville Is Culture War’s Ground Zero
Following the senseless murders of children and staff at the Covenant School by a disturbed transgender shooter, Jason said that Nashville was ground zero for the culture war in America. Today, we watched those words prophetically play out in front of us as anti-gun protesters stormed the Tennessee state Capitol. Conservative media personality Robby Starbuck joins Jason to discuss his motivations for moving to the Music City after a successful career in Hollywood, why the city is attractive to like-minded Americans, the disproportionate rise in violence by transgender people, and why those on the Left turn a blind eye to the chaos they incite.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 413 | Lamar Jackson’s 'Pocket-Watching' Pursuit of Deshaun Watson Could Derail His Career
Lamar Jackson’s Tuesday night Twitter storm was a very revealing moment in his young career. The former MVP’s social media venting session uncovered his well-intentioned soul but also spotlighted the lack of guidance that could jeopardize his career. “Lamar Jackson stands at a critical career crossroads. His desire to land a Deshaun Watson-type contract and the media-driven drumbeat of victimization have distracted him from the narrow path of football immortality he claims to prioritize.” Jason is speaking from his own experience in sports media: All money isn’t good money, especially if in the end, it leads to a path that could be detrimental to your career. “As it relates to his contract negotiation, God is not directing Lamar’s steps. Deshaun Watson is.” Pastor Anthony Walker joins Jason for the conversation about Lamar's battle between chasing the bag and following God. We can’t talk about Lamar Jackson without our QB whisperer, “Last Chance U’s” Coach Jason Brown. “Fearless” contributor Steve Kim shares his thoughts on Lamar’s contract saga. Plus, the group weighs in on the battle between Stephen A. Smith and Dan Le Batard and the season premiere of HBO's “Succession.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep 412 | Jason Whitlock Addresses the Nashville Christian School Shooting
“What happened yesterday is personal to me. It helps me explain why God wanted me here in Nashville — because this is ground zero for this culture war.” In the midst of tragedy, Jason has found purpose. Monday, that culture war claimed some of its most innocent casualties yet. Audrey Hale, 28, a former student at the school who identified as transgender, opened fire and claimed the lives of six people, including three children. Hale’s motives for the violence still aren’t completely known. Police say there is a manifesto that may explain her actions, but for Jason, it’s simple: It is another sad case of a culture that preaches to kids that they can find freedom in their sexual identity or their race rather than preaching that only obedience to God can grant true freedom. “Fearless” contributor and father Delano Squires adds his perspective to the conversation. Plus, BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales of "The News & Why It Matters" joins the show. Sara has been on the front lines of the trans debate and reveals why events like yesterday have her increasingly frightened.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 411 | ESPN & Disney Crown William 'Lia’ Thomas Queen During Women’s History Month
What better time than Women’s History Month to celebrate the storied collegiate swimming career of William Thomas, the man currently known as “Lia”? The transgender swimmer has dominated the female competition, and ESPN and Disney are now celebrating him for all his groundbreaking accomplishments, minimalizing female athletes. “Disney is evil. The company is uprooting a foundational truth — God created man and woman, giving men XY chromosomes and women XX chromosomes. It’s normalizing a treatable mental illness.” Jason points out that the company that loves to “embrace debate” is completely ignoring one of the most important issues facing sports. “I’d love to know what Mina Kimes, Sarah Spain, Malika Andrews, and Elle Duncan think on this issue.” “Fearless” contributors T.J. Moe, Shemeka Michelle, and Steve Kim share their thoughts on this controversial issue. Plus, Lamar Jackson has demanded a trade from the Baltimore Ravens, painting himself as a victim after claiming that the team isn’t willing to meet his value. Jason and Steve discuss the media’s portrayal of Jackson and the expectations it sets for black quarterbacks.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 410 | Jason Whitlock Won’t Change the Rules for Mina Kimes | Lamar Jackson vs. the NFL
The fallout from Jason’s feud with Mina Kimes continues across social media and the internet. Kimes' Twitter rebuttal to Jason’s critique of her victimhood mentality was met with praise and awe from the usual woke suspects. By the reaction, you’d believe that Kimes is the Jordan Peterson of sports media — except people are allowed to criticize Peterson, while Mina remains above reproach. Not for Jason Whitlock. “I’m going to make everybody play by the same rules. If I can go on this show or on Twitter and blast Shannon Sharpe, I can go on Twitter and blast Mina Kimes.” As a special bonus for all the haters, Jason brings receipts from Matt Lauer, Oprah Winfrey, and CNN that show his message has remained consistent throughout the years and that it’s the world that has changed. “Fearless” contributor Steve Kim joins the show to discuss the allegations the NFL has levied against Lamar Jackson, accusing him of using a “non-agent” to negotiate his contract. Plus, Tom Brady has “acquired” a stake in the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces. Will this be a better investment than Tom’s crypto portfolio was? We can’t talk about Lamar Jackson without “Last Chance U’s” Coach Jason Brown. JB lays out his theory on the NFL’s conclusion about Lamar, and it has nothing to do with the color of his skin.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 409 | Jason Whitlock Annihilates ESPN’s Mina Kimes and Sarah Spain
Sports Twitter exploded after a little-known Boston radio host allegedly used a racial slur in reference to ESPN’s Mina Kimes. An even lesser-known fact to Jason was that the term he used was even offensive, but nonetheless, the typical cast of virtue-signalers took to their tweet machines to make a martyr of Mina once again. The general in charge of the keyboard army was Sarah Spain, Kimes’ colleague and leading Twitter-blocker. The two have made a living as professional victims daylighting as sports journalists. “Kimes and Spain love reveling in mean tweets and emails. They make news every time they pretend they’re the only sports writers getting criticized. ESPN plays along and jumps to defend its Asian Instagram model every time.” Jason unloads on the latest example of worldwide leaders claiming victimhood. “Fearless” contributor and expert on all things Asian Steve Kim adds his perspective to the conversation. In an in-depth interview with Vanity Fair, Gisele Bündchen opened up about her divorce from Tom Brady and her love affair with nature and then called herself a “witch of love.” Our “Fearless” first lady, Shemeka Michelle, joins the show to remind everyone why she was on Team Tom from the jump and explains what the supermodel is really talking about.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 408 | Why Is the Left Really Afraid of Donald Trump? | Exposing Hunter Biden
Since the day Donald Trump rode down the escalator, those on the Left have waged an all-out war against him. Not satisfied that he no longer occupies the White House, their dogged pursuit of criminal charges has been relentless since January 6, 2021. What is the real reason that progressives will stop at nothing to make sure Donald Trump can never run for president again? “Fearless” contributor Royce White joins Jason to discuss Trump's threat to the uni-party and how it will all play out in the end. Dom Lucre set Twitter ablaze with his recent Hunter Biden thread, accusing the president’s son of even more debaucherous behavior. Lucre joins the show to discuss the allegations he levied, the threat he poses to the liberal establishment, and the motivations behind his actions. Plus, Wednesday means Tennessee Harmony. Anthony Walker, Virgil Walker, and Dave Shannon share a conversation about the organization “Stop Having Kids.” The group’s proclaimed purpose is to prevent the world from obeying God’s commandment to be “fruitful and multiply.”We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 407 | The Kryptonite Holding Back Cam Newton’s NFL Return | The Left’s Donald Trump Addiction
Cam Newton is looking for a triumphant return to the NFL. The former Heisman Trophy winner returned to the site of his college glory to throw at Auburn’s Pro Day. The 33-year-old released a hype video announcing his intention to participate in the showcase usually meant for college players looking to catch an NFL scouts' eye. Newton asked “Tell me how these randoms keep getting jobs?”. Jason and “Fearless” contributor Steve Kim are here to answer that exact question and discuss the one thing that’s the kryptonite holding Super-Cam from his NFL sequel. Plus, did Nick Saban throw some shade at Alabama basketball coach Nate Oats while discipling one of his top recruits? The NFL owners seem poised to offer commissioner Roger Goodell another contract extension, is that a wise move? Delano Squires has come up with a creative solution to Donald Trump’s legal matters in New York. Delano and Jason discuss The New York “Afristocracy” and their fetish for hating Trump and worshiping drag queens. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
