Ep 240 | How America Died in Highland Park, Illinois

July 4, 2022, 22-year-old gunman Robert Crimo opened fire on an Independence Day parade outside of Chicago. As the individual death toll continues to rise, Jason unpacks how the events of the Highland Park shooting ended the very idea that revelers were there to celebrate. “What was born on the Fourth of July – a system of governance predicated on the belief that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with unalienable rights – died on the Fourth of July. For 246 years, that belie...

Sexual Entitlement, Why Black Gangs Matter, Poisonous Political Prophecy & More | The Week’s Best Fearless Fire-starters | (07/01/22)

LeBron James, O.J. Simpson, and Dave Portnoy are some of the big names to speak out for women after the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe. Why? They are all entitled to a lifestyle of meaningless sex, free of consequence. Stephen Jackson posts his interactions with gangs in Chicago on social media, but Jason isn’t mad. In fact, he explains why Jackson is doing better than other people and why black gangs really do matter. After the Roe v. Wade decision, Reverend Al Sharpton speaks out again...

Ep 239 | Clarence Thomas Is America’s Moral Compass & Must Be Protected from the Left at All Costs

In all the outrage triggered by the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, one person seems to be the main focus of the far Left’s venom: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot exclaims, "F*** Clarence Thomas!" from a protest stage; Hillary Clinton painted her former Yale Law schoolmate Thomas as “angry” and a “person of grievance”; and Whoopi Goldberg proclaimed they would be coming for his white wife soon. Why has Thomas become the lone target over the c...

Ep 238 | Al Sharpton, Godfather of Souls? Rev. Al Preaches Poisonous Political Prophecy

The Supreme Court’s decision on Roe v. Wade has inserted the usual cast of progressive politics peddlers back onto our televisions and social media feeds. Cue Reverend Al Sharpton. It seems the formerly rotund reverend has been on the race-baiting scene since he was “ordained” as a minister when he was 9 years old. Nearly 60 years after becoming a man of the cloth, he’s back in his bully pulpit taking aim at the pro-life movement, charging pro-lifers with heresy and making up scripture to hijack...

Ep 237 | Stephen Jackson, All the Smoke & Why Black Gangs Matter | Spiritual Warfare: Church v. Roe

Former NBA star Stephen Jackson made social media headlines over the weekend after posting a video of himself hanging out with members of a notorious Chicago gang. The clip shows the NBA champion covered in diamond jewelry and surrounded by young men throwing up gang signs. While Jason doesn’t agree with some of Jackson’s tactics, he does give him credit. ​​”I don't believe in distancing myself from the people at the bottom of American society. The most vulnerable people in American society, I d...

Ep 236 | The Apprentice: Kari Lake Calls Out Bret Baier, Tucker Carlson, Fox News & Drag Queens

The Supreme Court has been on a roll. First standing up for the Second Amendment, then overturning Roe v. Wade and protecting the sanctity of life, and on Monday affirming the right to religious freedom in America. In a 6-3 decision, the court ruled that the Bremerton School District did indeed violate the First Amendment rights of Coach Joe Kennedy after he was fired for praying after high school football games. The former Marine joins Jason and BlazeTV contributor Jill Savage to discuss the jo...

Ep 235 | Three Stooges: Portnoy, LeBron & OJ Fight to Keep Abortion Safe, Legal & Self-serving

This weekend saw the continued social media meltdown following the SCOTUS decision overturning Roe v. Wade. The tantrums and virtue-signaling weren’t limited to the pro-choice politicians. Male celebrities and sports figures from LeBron James to Kyrie Irving, Barstool’s Dave Portnoy, and even O.J. Simpson stood up as advocates for “women’s rights.” Jason argues that we have the modern feminist movement and matriarchal society to blame for celebrity men voicing their collective outrage over the c...

Ep 234 | Dan Le Batard Is Highly Cowardly: Le Batard & His Leftist Legion Ambush Michele Tafoya

Former ESPN host Dan Le Batard recently invited longtime sports reporter Michele Tafoya to his new podcast under the pretense of discussing her esteemed career in media. Almost immediately, Le Batard and his legion of leftists ambushed the former Sunday Night Football sideline stalwart over past comments that differ from their political views. The result wasn’t what they expected as Tafoya refused to kowtow to the barrage and unleashed a beta male beatdown of her own. Michele joins Jason and Bla...

Ep 233 | Pro-Life Victory: Supreme Court Overturns Roe v. Wade

Today will forever stand as a pivotal moment in our nation’s history: the day that the Supreme Court of the United States overturned Roe v. Wade. The decision and the reaction to it have already revealed a lot about our people and politics. Pro-life groups celebrate, pro-choice groups call for “a night of rage,” and Nancy Pelosi just seems completely confused by the United States Constitution. Jason helps to guide the conversation on a history-defining day in our country. Pastor Bobby Harrington...

Ep 232 | Dan Snyder Trapped in BLM-LGBTQ+ House of Cards | Brady vs. Manning | Whitlock’s Weight?

Welcome to the show that almost didn’t happen. With the answer to one single question, Jason finds out a universal truth, nearly derailing the show and his weight loss journey. The Jan. 6 hearing isn't the only dog and pony show happening in Washington. The House Oversight committee is investigating the “toxic work environment” allegedly created by Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder. Jason believes this is another case of D.C. virtue signaling, the results of a rich and powerful conservat...

Ep 231 | Happy Endings: Watson’s Massage Settlement, Gronk’s Retirement & Herschel’s Baby-Mama Drama

Huge day of football talk on Wednesday’s episode of "Fearless." Cleveland quarterback Deshaun Watson settled with 20 of the 24 massage therapists suing him for sexual misconduct. Superstar tight end Rob Gronkowski announced he’s quitting football again. And former NFL star turned politician Herschel Walker continues to struggle with the public revelation that he’s the father of three out-of-wedlock kids. Jason and his "Fearless" contributors – Steve Kim, T.J. Moe, and Pastors Bobby and Anthony –...

Ep 230 | Dragged King: NYC Mayor Eric Adams Symbolizes Unholy Alliance Between Black Voters & LGBTQ

​​New York Mayor Eric Adams spent the last week tweeting about Juneteenth, the LGBTQ movement, and the importance of Drag Queen Story Hour. Adams embodies the 60-years-in-the-making marriage between black political elites and the LGBTQ movement. Jason argues in his Fire-starter that membership in the Democratic Party requires black voters and politicians to reject their religious beliefs and embrace sexual immorality. "Fearless" contributor Royce White trashes Adams as a “sellout” and explains t...

Ep 229 | Scrap Juneteenth — Celebrate the Rebirth of America, Not the Death of George Floyd

Last year, President Joe Biden made Juneteenth the newest federal holiday. The day is said to commemorate slaves in Texas hearing the news of Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation and of their impending freedom on June 19, 1865. Let’s set aside the fact that the 13th Amendment wasn’t ratified until December 1865 and slavery was not officially banned in President Biden’s home state of Delaware until 1901. June 19, 2020, was the first time that many Americans heard the word Juneteenth, but i...

Ep 227 | LeBron James’ Bigotry Stops Him from Addressing Savage Murder of Ethan Liming

You probably haven’t heard the name Ethan Liming. Liming was a 17-year-old beaten to death on the campus of LeBron James’ “I Promise” School in Akron, Ohio. LeBron wore a hoodie for Trayvon Martin, took a knee for George Floyd. Other than a tweet wrought with grammatical errors, he is silent for Liming’s murder. It’s because Ethan is white, and the three men arrested for his murder were black. Jason isn't mincing words. “LeBron has smoke for everyone white he believes wrongly takes a life. He ha...

Ep 226 | Rick Warren: A Purpose-Driven Strife, Debate Engulfs Southern Baptist Convention

First, Bill Maher gets red-pilled and slowly drifts to the center. Now, Saturday Night Live’s "Weekend Update" anchor Michael Che is the latest comedian to realize that woke is the real joke. Che recently turned to Instagram to criticize the Jan. 6 hearings in Washington, warning Americans that they need to wake up before they lose their country. In the now-deleted post, Che admitted his comments could cost him his audience and sponsors. Jason believes that comedians and pastors are society’s ga...

Ep 225 | Values vs. Votes: Daily Wire’s Salute to Woke Hollywood

The Daily Wire documentary “What Is a Woman?” has been a smashing success, championed by fans and subscribers who flock to the site for its conservative commentary. DW’s latest feature film, “Terror on the Prairie,” strays far from the company’s base and more closely resembles another woke feminist Netflix project. Jason attended the world premiere of the film and argues this departure is another example of those who’d rather have your vote than reflect your values. The Western stars Gina Carano...

Ep 224 | Make America Gay Again: Straight Christians Inspired ‘Pride Month’ Debauchery & Grooming

Pride Month has never been more pervasive, perverse, and public. The weekend saw Pride parades from coast to coast featuring all manner of depravity and nudity all in full display of children. Where did the LGBTQ movement receive its newfound boldness? Jason argues that American culture and Christians are to blame. For decades now, our country has normalized the sexualization of everything from football to food. This new dauntless debauchery is simply a reflection of the heterosexual culture we ...

Ep 223 | 'What Is a Woman?': Matt Walsh’s Magnum Opus for Truth in the Face of Trans Revolution

"What Is a Woman?" has quickly ascended to the top of the chart, becoming the most-watched at-home movie in the month of June barely a week after its release. The documentary is the brainchild of fearless filmmaker Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire. Matt’s journey to expose the lunacy behind the transgender movement has angered LGBTQ supporters to the point of making threats on his life. Walsh joins “Fearless” for an in-depth discussion on the driving factors behind his opposition to the gender-fluid...

Ep 221 | 'BrokeBlacks' Mountain: WaPo’s Jonathan Capehart Grooms Black People for LGBTQ+ Movement

Another day, another branch of the leftwing media affirming it remains pedestalled on a platform of race. Washington Post and MSNBC stalwart Jonathan Capehart authored an op-ed warning of the growing fear of "crazy" white people in America. A threat so real that he and his white husband may seek asylum in a yet to be determined locale outside of the United States. Jason outlines his issues with Capehart’s bankrupt and racist column, and reveals the true intent of the work, “Capehart is a soldier...

Ep 220 | How Social Media Apps Trained ESPN’s Sarah Spain to ‘Block & Charge’ MLB Players w/Bigotry

ESPN’s Sarah Spain has tried and convicted members of the Tampa Bay Rays in the court of social media. Their crime: choosing not to wear a “Pride” logo on their uniforms. “Pride is about inclusion, so you don’t love them and you don’t welcome them if you don’t wear the patch” Spain said on “Around the Horn.” She found their expression of freedom blasphemous, especially during the Left’s holy month of June. Spain would go to label the players as bigots for standing on their religious beliefs and ...

Can you handle the truth? Can you handle the heat? Jason is coming out the gates blazing with his Monday fire-starter. The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh has made headlines with his documentary “What Is a Woman?” What seems like a simple question for most rational people leads Walsh on a journey around America and into the LBTGQ+ community.

In the midst of the Boston Celtics' epic comeback against Golden State in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, ESPN’s Mark Jones uttered a phrase that transported Jason into another realm: “The Celtics have stormed ahead. This insurrection has them leading by 11.” In what world would a broadcaster insert political buzzwords into play-by-play? The social media world, or as Jason calls it, “the social media matrix,” is an alternate reality that harbors and promotes inauthentic pandering by the likes of Jones...

What do you do when you have no political platform to stand on? If you are a Democrat, you naturally prop yourself up on the dead bodies of black people. That’s what Kentucky Senate hopeful Charles Booker was hoping to accomplish when he channeled his inner Jussie Smollett, placing a noose around his neck to ask for your vote to stop Rand Paul’s reign of terror over black people. “What has become prevalent in recent years is leftist public figures and political activists using relics of America’...

The Memorial Day weekend provides the kindling for Jason’s fire-starter. A day once set aside to pay respect and homage to the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in the pursuit of freedom has devolved into another apathetic display of Americans' newfound entitlement. “Americans are in a race for privilege. We used to race toward freedom, and we were extremely thankful for the men who protected it.” Jason argues the Left’s manipulation of the history of the black journey has sent gener...
