Ep 366 | Attitude & Frustration at the Root of Tyre Nichols Tragedy, Not Racism
Three weeks ago, in a traffic stop on January 7, Tyre Nichols was hospitalized upon arrest and died three days later. He was beaten by five Memphis police officers who, since then, have turned themselves in. Today, MPD will be releasing the body camera footage of the incident. Today on “Fearless,” Jason discusses the common narrative of policemen being "racist cops" with “Fearless” soldiers Delano Squires and Shemeka Michelle. Jason asks people to consider an alternative to what’s really going on. Perhaps attitude and frustration are the culprits, not racism. To lighten the conversation, “Fearless” soldier Steve Kim and Jason discuss some NFL food for thought. Ray Lewis claimed that a No. 1 wide receiver will fix Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. Will it? Also, the WNBA has made a complaint that it can’t take private flights. Is flying Southwest Airlines as terrible as the WNBA says? We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 365 | Matt Barnes Channels Tupac Shakur for the 'Death Row Media' | Maj Toure vs. Matt Walsh
From Shannon Sharpe picking a fight at an NBA game to Matt Barnes spitting on a man at an NFL game, members of the “sports media” are acting more like rappers than like journalists. Jason calls this group of broadcast-bandits the “death row media.” “They’ve run journalists out of the business in favor of criminal athletes with no impulse or emotional control. It's obvious to everyone [that] at some point, this is going to spin out of control in a very dangerous and potentially deadly way.” Jason makes the argument that the NFL’s “Inspire Change” initiative is complicit in the process, valuing the lives of criminals over children, but, as always, he has a solution for the NFL’s self-inflicted issues. "Fearless" soldiers Steve Kim and T.J. Moe join the show to add their insights on the topic of a sports media that villainizes Tony Dungy and canonizes Tupac Shakur. Plus, in Friendly Fire, Jason tries to settle the Twitter feud between "Fearless" contributor Maj Toure and the Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 364 | ESPN's 'SportsCenter' Panders to Feminists | TN Harmony Defends Tony Dungy
“ESPN SportsCenter just led tonight's episode with 2 stories on women's college basketball. The first 6 minutes, a regular season Big Ten and SEC game. Who is paying for this? What percentage of sports fans does this serve?” This simple tweet from Jason questioning an ESPN programming decision triggered a desperate Deadspin writer to call Jason “cartoonishly misogynistic” and “a dark soul” — but it led to a great conversation about the four-letter network super-serving women as a form of reparation for centuries of men "mistreating" women. Pastor Anthony Walker, Dave Shannon, and Shemeka Michelle weigh in on the debate. ESPN was also guilty of piling on Tony Dungy for the audacity of being a Christian who lives his faith. Pastor Anthony, Delano Squires, and Promise Keepers' Ken Harrison tackle the question: Why are Christians reluctant to publicly defend Tony Dungy? Plus, Shemeka Michelle tries to make sense of the banning of Aretha Franklin, Erykah Badu sharing her daughter’s “assets” on Instagram, and a self-proclaimed “superstar" and her vulgar airplane tirade.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 363 | Jason Whitlock Chooses Team Steven Crowder Over Team Daily Wire
Steven Crowder is fighting a war, but is it the same war that The Daily Wire claims to be engaged in? “Steven Crowder has exposed The Daily Wire, change my mind”. Jason believes Crowder's public battle with the conservative mega media company has exposed their true motivation, and it’s not the America First image they shill to subscribers. Bryson Gray, Royce White & T.J. Moe joins Fearless to choose their sides and make their arguments in the great Crowder-DW culture conflict, and it might just surprise you where the battle lines are drawn within the Fearless Army.

Ep 362 | How Damar Hamlin & Shannon Sharpe Prove Reality TV Destroys Truth | Dak Prescott Bombs
You would have thought that Damar Hamlin, the Buffalo Bills player who made a miraculous recovery after collapsing on the field after his heart stopped, would have been a huge part of the Bills-Bengals playoff game. Instead of giving an on-field interview or tossing the coin to start the game, he was relegated to being a shadowy, masked figure we saw occasionally throwing up heart signs from a luxury suite. Jason has a theory about why Hamlin wasn’t center stage for one of the NFL’s biggest games. “The unholy alliance between television and social media has greatly increased the separation between reality and truth.” Is Hamlin being advised by his handlers to hold out for an interview offering the biggest check, or is he in negotiations to hide the real reasons behind his injury? The Damar Hamlin mystery coupled with Shannon Sharpe picking a fight with the Memphis Grizzlies — then apologizing — adds to Jason’s assertion that America prefers entertainment over truth. "Fearless" soldiers Steve Kim and Royce White add their thoughts. Plus, Coach Jason Brown talks about the NFL playoffs and delivers the truth about Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 361 | NHL Travels Gay & Black ‘Pride’ Path to Hell | Blame Tom Brady for Byron Leftwich Firing?
“Hockey Is For Everyone." That’s the marketing slogan the NHL has been using to justify “Pride Night” events at arenas all across North America. But finally, one player has stood up against the spirit of the age and stood tall for his religion. Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov refused to wear a “Pride”-inspired rainbow jersey during warm-ups before a recent game. Nearly immediately, the Russian defenseman was under attack from the LGBTQ mafia and nearly the entirety of the NHL, including one prominent Canadian sportscaster, who proclaimed, “People will hide behind ideologies, like amazingly enough, religion. But I’m strong on this one and quite comfortable. Either you are for equality or you’re on the wrong side of history. Period.” Jason, like Provorov, says he prefers to be on the right side of God. “Some men pursue God, not history. Man is the God of recorded history. Micallef and others worship man. Provorov worships God.” "Fearless" soldier Royce White joins the conversation and shares his thoughts on how Russian heritage played a role in Provorov’s decision. Recently, former first lady Michelle Obama told Revolt TV, “There were ten years when I couldn’t stand my husband.” You know the first lady of "Fearless,” Shemeka Michelle, has thoughts on Michelle Obama's comments. Plus, Steve Kim joins Jason to debate the sports headlines of the day, including Shannon Sharpe’s assertion that Tom Brady is the reason Tampa Bay fired Byron Leftwich, and the breaking news of the day that may actually signal the end of Lamar Jackson in Baltimore.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 360 | Martin Luther King Jr.’s Complicated Legacy | Lamar Jackson Should Fire His Mom & RG3
As the world celebrated the impact of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. this week, "Fearless" contributor Virgil Walker took a deeper dive into Dr. King's theological and social gospels and reached a rather unpopular conclusion about the influence of the man whose name is synonymous with the civil rights movement. King’s version of the gospel was more influenced by a 20th-century German-American theologian from New York than by the Bible. Virgil’s conclusion: “King did not believe in the deity of Christ or that he rose from the dead. In addition, he also rejected the doctrines of virgin birth, the second coming of Christ, and the existence of a literal hell.” Pastor Anthony Walker and Professor Delano Squires join "Fearless" to debate Virgil’s assessment of the legacy of Dr. King. The first lady of "Fearless," Shemeka Michelle, shares her thoughts on Boston’s MLK statue. Plus, Steve Kim has a message for Lamar Jackson, Robert Griffin III, and Tom Brady.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 359 | FEARLESS Special: The ‘COVID Cartel’ & the Price for Freedom | We Won’t Comply
ason Whitlock presents an unforgettable “Fearless” special, featuring several of the bravest patriots. Most of these warriors were significantly hurt by the vaccine mandate. When President Joe Biden made the decision to order all Americans to inject themselves with a developmental vaccine that had unknown long-term side effects, he made a life-altering, ineffable impact on many of our nation’s citizens. The heroes on today’s show have paid the price for standing up to this experimental decree. These heroes include Robert F. Kennedy Jr.; Chris Singleton, a former MLB player; Beth Faber, a former ESPN producer; Ken Mauer, a former NBA referee and one of the association's longest-tenured officials; Stephen Kaplan, a former Navy SEAL; Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin; NBA legend John Stockton; Ken Ruettgers, a former Green Bay Packers Hall of Famer; Nick Rolovich, the former head coach of WSU football; and Dr. Joel Wallskog, a top board-certified orthopedic surgeon who developed a condition after receiving his first Moderna COVID vaccine. Steve Deace, a fearless, remarkable BlazeTV icon, joins Jason and these heroes in some in-depth conversations about these patriots’ experiences with the vaccine mandate that was tyrannically forced on Americans. The "COVID Cartel" will not take responsibility, but these patriots will expose Big Pharma’s real, hidden agenda. Don’t miss the most exciting show this year! We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 358 | Lamar Jackson Quits the Baltimore Ravens | Should the Chargers Fire Brandon Staley?
The NFL playoffs have officially begun, and there’s no other way to start Monday off than with Jason and "The Korean Cosell," Steve Kim. Why didn't Lamar Jackson travel to support the Ravens in Cincinnati? Is there trouble in Baltimore? Brandon Staley’s Chargers blew a 27-0 lead to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Could this lead to a new head coach in L.A.? Referee Shawn Smith picked a fight with Joey Bosa, and Mike McDaniel struggled to call plays against the Bills. Does the NFL have an officiating crisis? Also, "Last Chance U's" Coach Jason Brown pops in to discuss whether there's a problem with Lamar Jackson sitting against the Cincinnati Bengals, as well as J.K. Dobbins complaining about his lack of touches. We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 357 | Why the Cost of Eggs Rival the Cost of Gold | Minnesota Outlawing Christian Teachers
In 2012, the average price of a dozen eggs in the U.S. was $1.84. In 2023, Jason Whitlock paid over $7 for a dozen eggs. Regardless of where you choose to get eggs in the U.S., there won’t be too drastic a price difference. The fact that inflation has almost quadrupled the price of eggs is bizarre and a clear display of poor leadership. Today, “Fearless” presents Jason with a discussion that needs attention. Jason invites “Fearless” contributors T.J. Moe and Shemeka Michelle to talk about “Bidenflation.” Afterward, Jason welcomes special guest Joy Pullmann, executive editor at the Federalist and an accomplished author. Jason and Joy discuss the state of Minnesota’s religious discrimination against Christians, Jews, and Muslims. The state is poised to ban anyone with these beliefs from teaching in public schools. “Fearless” soldier Royce White joins the conversation later on to continue the discussion on inflation and the convergence of ideologies.
