Fearless with Jason Whitlock

A law Governor Ron DeSantis signed into legislation compelled the University of Florida to ax its 13-person diversity, equity, and inclusion department. This act enraged former Gators star and NFL legend Emmitt Smith, prompting the Cowboys great to angrily release a statement condemning the move. “I’m utterly disgusted by UF’s decision and the precedent that it sets.” Who should we believe, the football player or the governor? Jason says the answer is easy. “I believe the governor. That will put me at odds with many black people.” We’ve been trained to evaluate all situations through the lens of race, not right and wrong. Emmitt Smith is black. DeSantis is white. Diversity, equity, and inclusion allegedly benefit black people. Do they? Or do they primarily convince black people that their real expertise and contribution to society is managing the mindset of white people? Jason unpacks his thoughts in today’s fire-starter. Stephen A. Smith joined former NBA star Mark Jackson’s podcast and did what he does best: cap. Jason breaks down Smith’s latest tale of how drug dealers saved his life. Plus, you live by the internet, you die by the internet, and Shannon Sharpe is paying the price for his latest display of zestiness.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

It didn’t take long for the tragic death of a nursing student to become a political football. An illegal immigrant allegedly murdered 22-year-old Laken Riley as she went for a jog on the campus of the University of Georgia. The mayor of Athens has gone public, blaming President Donald Trump’s rhetoric for the tragedy, but the citizens of the town aren't standing for it. Jason and Shemeka Michelle discuss the woke policies that welcomed illegal immigrants to the college town and the murder of an innocent young woman. Rapper Meek Mill finds himself making headlines this week, but not for the right reasons. A former producer suing hip-hop mogul Diddy for sexual harassment alleges the Philly rapper was involved in a sexual relationship with Diddy. Jason and Shemeka discuss the rumors and why the rap music industry is becoming synonymous with this type of behavior.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Comedian Katt Williams’ podcast tour made its first stop on "The Joe Rogan Experience." The conversation did not disappoint. Jason unpacks the significance of Williams' back-and-forth with Rogan over transgenderism and the “ritual” of male entertainers wearing dresses. Jason argues that it’s not a coincidence that the black men at the top of sports media – Charles Barkley, Stephen A. Smith, and Shannon Sharpe – are all public allies of the Alphabet Mafia. Midway through today’s episode of "Fearless," Jason praises Cam Newton for taking responsibility for his role in a fight at a 7-on-7 tournament and challenges the former NFL star to be a better leader. The show closes with Whitlock interviewing BALCO founder Victor Conte about the use of performance-enhancing drugs in professional sports. Conte said there is reason for sports fans to be suspicious of LeBron James as it relates to EPO and other performance enhancers.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Sheryl Swoopes is at it again. Weeks after being blasted for her uneducated and inaccurate take on Caitlin Clark’s pursuit of basketball history, she feels compelled to once again go after Clark while attempting to defend herself. Clark is white. Swoopes is black. Swoopes’ original critique was so off base, many observers concluded racial bias and jealousy contributed to Swoopes’ ignorant claims. But according to Swoopes, it’s impossible for her to be racist. Why? Because of her skin color. “For people to come at me and say I made those comments because I’m a racist, like, first of all, black people can’t be racist.” Jason and Shemeka Michelle break down Swoopes’ race-based theory of racism. Stephen A. Myth takes to the airwaves to pay tribute to the late hip-hop legend Jam Master Jay. In his soliloquy, Smith casually drops the idea that his older brother and Jay were best friends growing up in Hollis, Queens. There’s only one issue — the math doesn’t add up, Whitlock explains. Plus, Pat McAfee wants all the smoke. The sports media firebrand once again calls out ESPN executive Norby Williamson, and this time, he makes it very clear who he works for. Steve Kim joins “Fearless” to break down the feud between McAfee and ESPN.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Did Kevin Garnett just put LeBron James' business out on front street? While debating Paul Pierce on his podcast, “KG Certified,” Garnett said LeBron was “on that BALCO, that new juice.” And this isn’t the first time King James has been accused of using performance-enhancing drugs or steroids. Former MMA star and noted PED snitch Chael Sonnen went so far as to name the juice LeBron was on and say they shared the same “drug guy.” Need more proof? James’ former trainer and a business partner were both implicated in the Biogenesis scandal that took down MLB superstar Alex Rodriguez. At 40 years old, LeBron is performing at a level never before seen for someone his age in the NBA. Why isn’t this the biggest story in all of sports? Jason has his theory and welcomes content creator Skap Attack to share the results of his investigation into James' potential involvement in PED use. Plus, Steve Kim joins “Fearless” to discuss steroids in sports and whether we even care any more. In Tennessee Harmony, Anthony Walker and Virgil Walker join Jason to discuss the topic of slavery and reparations from a biblical perspective.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Will the real Stephen A. Myth please stand up? Not giving him any room to breathe, Jason has Stephen A in the corner and is throwing haymakers. Now the NBA’s New Orleans Pelicans publicly took shots at Smith after he made some derogatory comments about Zion Williamson. “Everyone is laughing behind his back and that’s why he’s trying to plug all these holes before the dam breaks.” The cracks in Stephen A.’s story are starting to fracture and Whitlock has all the receipts to prove it. Another beloved sports industry darling is showing cracks in his public veneer as well. Lebron James was infuriated by ESPN's most recent mock draft, placing his son Bronny as the 39th overall pick, a far cry from the one-and-done status James had his son destined for. Fox Sports Doug Gottlieb, joins the show to not only validate the recent mock draft but also explain that the young James is actually underachieving. Also joining today’s show, Steve Kim argues that Lebron James is the one person to blame for the overwhelming pressure crashing down on his son. Jason poses the question, who’s a better basketball dad, Lebron James, or Lavar Ball? The gloves are off and Jason isn’t messing around. We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Cam Newton is not a leader. Never has been. Talent, the greatest resource in sports, powers performance. It undermines virtually everything else, most especially leadership. No one in football has ever had more talent than Cam Newton. He had Hall of Fame talent as a quarterback, receiver, tight end, left tackle, defensive end, outside linebacker, inside linebacker, and safety. Why did he flame out in the NFL? Look no farther than his fight at a youth football game as evidence of why. Newton was involved in a brawl with two of the former coaches for his 7-on-7 team. That’s not what leaders do. Coaches don’t talk trash to opponents. Coaches lead with humility and stoicism. Cam Newton is incapable of humility. Newton is Deion Sanders lite. At this rate, Cam is five years from being named Auburn’s head coach. Steve Kim joins “Fearless” to discuss Cam’s latest shenanigans. Plus, “Last Chance U” Coach Jason Brown adds his perspective to the fight and the environment that surrounds the 7-on-7 circuit. Coach JB also chimes in on Eric Bieniemy heading to UCLA. And T.J. Moe joins the show to discuss Duke’s Kyle Filipowski getting injured when Wake Forest fans stormed the court after the Demon Deacons downed the Blue Devils. Is it finally time to end fans rushing the court and field in college athletics?We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Just when you think some of our leaders couldn’t say anything dumber, Ben Crump starts talking again. Crump says he could end crime “overnight” — all you have to do is change the definition of crime. He comes up with the single stupidest idea to solve the rising black crime rates. When you remove the fear of God from culture, everything is permissible. Jason and Shemeka Michelle discuss the latest lunacy from the minds of Crump and Al Sharpton. Plus, Beyoncé makes history with her latest single, debuting at no. 1 on Billboard's country music chart. You know Shemeka has smoke for Mrs. Carter being hailed as the new queen of country.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Jason welcomes Dee-1 to “Fearless” for a special one-on-one interview. The man formerly known as David Augustine sits down to share the story of his journey from the hood of New Orleans to the halls of Harvard. Dee outlines the path that turned him away from the trappings that led to the deaths of his close friends to become one of the biggest voices in Christian rap. No stranger to public beef with the likes of hip-hop stars like Rick Ross and Meek Mill, Dee-1 has some advice and challenges Whitlock over his very public and very outspoken criticism of Colorado football coach Deion Sanders. Plus, Dee-1 shares his insights on the rap industry and its dangers and addresses those critical of his collaborations with some of rap’s most secular artists.

There’s a war raging in the sports media world. It all started when CBS wrote a check to Tony Romo, making the former Cowboys QB the highest-paid analyst in the NFL. That was the first battle in this proxy war that’s now pitting some of sports media’s biggest names against one another in the ultimate money-grab era. One of the first casualties in this dispute was journalism. Journalism no longer exists. The industry has collapsed financially. Newspapers have lost their clout. The entire profession is now just about chasing the bag. Once you eliminate values, greed and envy take control. That’s what’s driving the friendly fire at ESPN, with Stephen A. Smith and Ryan Clark taking aim at a defenseless Pat McAfee. And, of course, with Smith and Clark on the front lines, this conflict was destined to split along racial lines. Jason outlines his thoughts on the dispute that he says places the “Show Me the Money” boys — Romo, McAfee, Tom Brady, and company — against the "Diversity, Extortion, and Income” crew led by Smith, Clark, Shannon Sharpe, and company. Jason argues that as long as these industry elites get paid, they are perfectly fine watching America burn. T.J. Moe joins the show and discusses how simple-minded our media figures have become. Steve Kim joins the show to add his thoughts and discuss the latest lie uttered by LeBron James.
