Ep 429 | NFL GM Forced to Pander to Woke Women’s Sports Agenda

Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes wore an interesting pullover to Detroit’s pre-draft press conference. Across the front it said: “Support women and girls in sports.” Riley Gaines, the former SEC swim champ who was forced to compete against biological male “Lia” Thomas, took Holmes' hoodie as a statement against the trans sports agenda. Jason doesn’t believe that is the case. Holmes was given the shirt by Lindsay Verstegen, the “diversity officer” of the Detroit Lions. “Lindsay lists her...

Ep 428 | Trans Warriors & Big Tech Escalate Attack on Matt Walsh, Daily Wire & Conservatives

“There is a Trans War. The Trans War is about transitioning America to a satanic culture. Period. End of story.” Jason shares his thoughts on what’s really going on with the hacking of Matt Walsh’s Twitter account. Was it really a hack or a leak? “Fearless” contributor T.J. Moe joins the show to help explain why a transgender man threatens anyone who stops him from entering a women's bathroom. Virgil Walker joins Jason to discuss the recent Twitter controversy over a Stephen Wolfe tweet and the ...

Ep 427 | Does the NBA Hate Its Fans? The Message Draymond Green’s Suspension Really Sends

“I have a problem with the one-game suspension handed down to Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green. It exposes a bias and an unfairness that damages the NBA. It reinforces the fact that fans no longer matter.” Jason asks how the league went from “FANtastic” to “FANphobic.” Draymond got a one-game suspension for an on-the-court altercation with another player, but Russell Westbrook stormed a floor-level lounge and cussed out a fan in front of kids and remains unpunished. “Who is more wort...

Ep 426 | Radicalized Teenagers Terrorize Chicago, Mayor-Elect Defends Violent Mob

“Everybody knows what’s at the root of the chaos that we’re seeing in Chicago, but no one wants to talk about it.” Jason shares his thoughts on the destruction that continues to plague the city of Chicago. Over the weekend, a social media-driven mob of teenagers took over Millennium Park, beating a woman on the sidewalk and attacking a bus driver. The mainstream media is ignoring the daily death toll in the Windy City. Meanwhile, in Kansas City, an 84-year-old man shot a teenager who mistakenly ...

Ep 425 | Russell Westbrook Storms Courtside Suite, Confronts Fan | E-40 Booted From NBA Playoff Game

“Russell Westbrook embodies the godless celebrity elite. His fragile ego controls him. His identity is divorced from God. He’s an NBA superstar, a fashion and commercial brand. The tiniest thing that infringes on his brand triggers an emotional outrage.” Jason puts the full-court press on Westbrook and Bay Area rapper E-40. Both were at the center of conflicts at NBA playoff games over the weekend. Westbrook charged into a luxury floor-level lounge to confront a fan who was heckling him. E-40 wa...

Ep 424 | ‘LeBron James Is Not Smart.’ Whitlock’s Take Triggers NFL Players

Five words Jason spoke in a recent video triggered two NFL stars to challenge his take on King James — one publicly, one privately. Jason welcomes Super Bowl champion David Tyree to the show to debate James’ place among the athletic intellectuals and America’s obsession with athlete idolatry. Plus, the New York Giants legend known for Super Bowl XLII’s infamous “helmet catch” shares his testimony of coming to faith in Christ and reviews the latest “Fearless” track “Let 'Em Know."

Ep 423 | Ben Affleck & Matt Damon’s Michael Jordan Movie Shoots Bricks | Shaq Panders to Angel Reese

“Michael Jordan’s mama negotiated the whole Nike deal? OK.” Jason dunks on Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s “fact-based drama” about Michael Jordan, “Air.” The plot dramatizes Nike’s pursuit of "His Airness," casting Jordan’s mom, played by Viola Davis, as the key figure in making the deal that changed sports marketing and the fashion world forever. There's just one problem: It didn’t go down that way. Jason refers to it as “The Woman King Part II” and calls it another example of Hollywood’s obsessi...

Ep 422 | Expelled Tennessee Lawmaker Justin Pearson Received Colin Kaepernick BLM Makeover | Ep 422

Justin Pearson, the expelled Tennessee state representative from Memphis, spent his Easter preaching the “Gospel According to BLM.” His sermon went viral after his opening prayer to “Mother God,” asking his enslaved ancestors to speak through him and to proclaim the “resurrection prophecy” for “we who are black, we who are poor, we who are queer.” How did the 27-year-old son of a preacher become so radicalized? College, of course. And Jason has video of a very different Justin Pearson from the f...

Ep 421 | NBA’s Gregg Popovich Spreads Anti-Gun Propaganda, Blames Republicans for Mass Shootings

San Antonio Spurs president and head coach Gregg Popovich went on an unsolicited, pregame anti-gun rant over the weekend. It’s par for the course for the leftist, elitist NBA coach who loves to preach to the common man and who believes he’s the smartest man in every arena he enters. Jason issues a challenge: “I would love to interview Popovich about the issue. I wouldn’t call him names. I’d simply like to challenge him on his narrative about the 'myth' of the Second Amendment. ... Popovich isn’t...

Ep 420 | ‘The Tennessee Three’ Use Covenant School Shooting to Elevate Themselves, Divide America

“Is it a coincidence that leftists always seem to use dead children to advance their agenda?” The political theater happening inside the Tennessee House of Representatives is the reality show version of the HBO documentary series “Paradise Lost.” Both shows feature three individuals who used dead children to elevate their profiles. Justin Jones, Justin Pearson, and Gloria Johnson led a protest during a state legislature session that turned the conversation away from the act of transgender terror...

Ep 419 | Jason Explains What Happened on Fox News & Elaborates on Why Secession Must Be Considered

Social media exploded last night following Jason’s appearance on Fox News’ "Tucker Carlson Tonight." During their conversation, Jason reaffirmed his stance that God-fearing Americans can no longer find common ground with fellow citizens who believe men can get pregnant and stated that secession may be the only answer for Christians. When Fox cut to commercial as Jason was answering Tucker’s final question, Twitter exploded in both praise and condemnation of what everyone assumed was Fox’s censor...

Ep 418 | Donald Trump’s Indictment Foretells America’s Future | DC Draino Offers Hope

“I’m pro-secession. That’s the only path forward for those of us that believe in God.” Jason minces no words when it comes to what he describes as America’s inevitable collapse. The indictment of Donald Trump for political gain prompted Jason to face the uncomfortable truths that have fractured our country along spiritual and political lines. “We have no common ground with the other side. They believe men can get pregnant, and they want to have discussions about that.” Host of “Please, Call Me C...

Ep 417 | Democrats See Iowa’s Caitlin Clark as Political Pawn for 2024 Election

Jill Biden’s invitation to Caitlin Clark and the runner-up Iowa Hawkeyes is unprecedented. Of course the LSU team and ESPN immediately inserted race into Biden’s ill-advised invite. It's always about race, right? Jason says Biden’s real motivations are much more transparent. “Democrats control culture. They dictate what is broadcast on television, what is showcased at movie theaters, what is popular on radio, and who has the most influence via Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Caitlin Clark appe...

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...

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 the...

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 l...

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 ...

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. Polic...

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 treatabl...

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 T...

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 ...

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...

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 tha...

Ep 406 | Donald Trump’s Persecution Marks Him as a Sinner in Need of a Savior

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has resurrected the criminal case against former President Donald Trump. The George Soros-backed prosecutor plans to indict Trump on tax fraud charges related to the hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels. Donald Trump has cast himself as Jesus Christ — America’s messiah, who is ready to die for his MAGA theology. But Jason says that Trump and his pride are more reminiscent of someone else who died on Calvary: a common, unrepentant thief who was cruci...

Ep 405 | What’s Creating the Feminization of the American Church?

Jason and the “Fearless Army" pick up where they left off in Friday’s episode, discussing the matters plaguing the church. Though he’s a fan of most of Transformation Church’s Pastor Michael Todd’s sermons, Jason admits that his message can come across as rather effeminate and oftentimes misses the mark for men. Is the church as a whole suffering from a masculinity crisis and cultivating a culture of empathy that pushes men away from faith? Do churches feel like they need to show more empathy to...

Ep 404 | Did Pastor Michael Todd Finally Bow to Culture?

Jason recently received an email from a devoted “Fearless” viewer who was critical of the show’s portrayal of controversial former pastor Rick Warren. The email was an example of the viral thought process that is infecting church congregations across America. Recently, Jason thought this virus struck one of his favorite faith leaders, Pastor Mike Todd of Tulsa’s Transformation Church. Did Pastor Todd affirm transgenderism and homosexuality from the pulpit? Jason welcomes YouTuber Kris Williams, ...

Ep 403 | Ja Morant & Jalen Rose Hustle Softball Interview | NBA Prioritizes Content over Competition

Following a string of incidents that ended with Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant flashing a gun in a Denver strip club, the NBA sent the young star in for counseling. Three days later, he emerged a changed man and sat down with the most venerable sports journalist of our time, ESPN’s Jalen Rose, to document his three-day transformation. Jason and most of the sports world aren’t buying it. “How is this not a scripted movie? Ja Morant is all better now. In a 12-day whirlwind, Morant dropped $50K a...

Ep 402 | Aaron Rodgers Clowns the Media Again | HBO’s Bomani Jones Exposes His Racism

While the NFL media speculates and pontificates on the future of Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback himself has used his chosen platform to call out the media once again. Reports have been circulating that Rodgers was demanding the New York Jets acquire hand-selected players before he would finalize a trade deal with the Big Apple. Speaking to Pat McAfee, Rodgers said that’s not at all how the conversation went down. Rodgers said the Jets asked him for a “wish list” of players he’d like to see on th...

Ep 401 | Ja Morant Reflects NBA Secular Culture | Ciara Bares All, Emasculates Russell Wilson

Following his Instagram gun video and a two-day strip club sexcapade, the NBA has sent Ja Morant to a counseling facility to address his recent off-court behavior. Jason suggests that it’s not Ja who really needs the help — maybe it's those who have carefully crafted the culture that has engulfed Morant who are in need of counseling. “Nike and the NBA in particular and professional sports in general cultivated Morant’s identity dysphoria. In the aftermath of the historic success of the Air Jorda...

Ep 400 | Angela Bassett’s Black Entitlement on Full Display at Oscars

Hollywood made it through the Oscars without a single act of physical violence, but if looks could kill, Angela Bassett would have been able to pull off what Michael Myers couldn’t: take out Jamie Lee Curtis. When Curtis was announced as the winner of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, Bassett couldn’t even feign a little joy for her fellow nominee. She sat stone-faced in her chair as the rest of the audience responded with a standing ovation. Jason says Bassett’s reaction encapsulates the p...
