Ep 392 | Does Ja Morant Want to Be Tupac Shakur or Michael Jordan? | Lamar Jackson’s Landing Spot?
The Grizzlies’ Ja Morant is one of the NBA’s most dynamic young players and considered by many to be the future of the league, but recently uncovered incidents may be threatening his career. The Washington Times reported an altercation from over the summer in which Morant allegedly punched a teenager during a pickup basketball game and also allegedly flashed a gun to intimidate the kid. There are also allegations of threatening behavior toward a mall cop that ended with a police report being filed. What is happening to Ja Morant? The once clean-cut, fresh-faced phenom seems to want to be the NBA’s Tupac Shakur rather than the next Michael Jordan. Jason has a theory on what is influencing Morant’s newfound aggressive behavior. “Fearless” contributor Steve Kim weighs in on Morant, as well as ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins dealing the race card when it comes to white NBA MVP winners. “Last Chance U’s” Coach Jason Brown is here to discuss the hot NFL rumor that Lamar Jackson could be headed to Miami to team up with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. One of the two Jasons thinks it’s a great fit; the other has alternative destinations in mind for the Ravens QB.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 391 | Why 'Woman Worship' Is Dangerous & Destructive | Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church Scandal
There are hidden consequences for the amount of "woman worship" within American culture, churches, and sports. The NFL is holding its seventh “Women’s Careers in Football Forum” during the combine. The league’s obsession with female coaches and its fantasies about the first female player are detrimental to the game of football. Even Charles Barkley is spouting the WNBA’s talking points about equal pay for unequal play. Our society’s feminine obsession — coupled with the fight for diversity, equity, and inclusion — is dangerous and destructive for everyone. Take the case of Maegan Hall, a former Tennessee cop who was fired, along with other officers, amid a sex scandal. She’s now suing, alleging that she was “groomed” by her colleagues into performing sex acts to cover up her incompetent police work. Jason dives into the pitfalls of our culture’s female fixation. “I don’t want things watered down. I don’t want things brought to an unhealthy place because we have put women in positions they have not earned, cannot do as effectively as a man, and [which] really aren’t the roles for them.” Shemeka Michelle shares her experience with the female-led public schools in North Carolina, which are carving out time to celebrate the “CROWN Act” and uphold the rights of black girls to wear their natural hair while failing to turn out kids who read. And in Tennessee Harmony, Pastor Anthony Walker, Pastor Virgil Walker, and Dave Shannon examine the infiltration of women into the pulpit at Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church and its removal from the Southern Baptist Convention over the issue.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 390 | 'Dear Bryan Cranston': Jason Whitlock Exposes ‘Breaking Bad’ Star | How the NBA Went Soft
Bryan Cranston was the star of one of the most successful television franchises of the last 25 years. Recently, the "Breaking Bad" star sat down with CNN’s Chris Wallace for an interview that turned into a rant about the phrase “Make America Great Again.” The actor believes that slogan to be a covertly racist “dog whistle." He challenges anyone who dares wear a MAGA hat to answer his question: “When was America ever great for African-Americans?” Jason Whitlock has an answer for him right now. “America is and has been the safest, most prosperous, most opportunity-rich land for black people for the last 60 years. That’s why Africans and other black people from around the globe choose to relocate here. They want what I experienced in the 1970s, '80s, '90s, and 2000s: freedom and opportunity derived from the greatest constitution ever written.” Jason points out the hypocrisy of the “Make America Great Again” slogan: Donald Trump wasn’t the first president to use those words as a part of a campaign. “Fearless” contributors Delano Squires and Royce White share their thoughts on Cranston's accusations of racism. Plus, Jason and Steve Kim discuss how Adam Silver has ruined the NBA and whether Chicago should stick with Justin Fields or cash in the #1 overall pick for Alabama’s Bryce Young.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 389 | Jake Paul Goes Down | Coach Jason Brown Returns | Why the NAACP Should Be Disbanded
Controversial social media influencer turned boxer Jake Paul faced his first true competition in the sport this weekend and took his first-ever loss. “Fearless” contributor Steve Kim didn’t watch the biggest match of Paul’s career. Is Steve a boxing elitist, or will we give Paul any credit for sparking interest in his beloved sport? Plus, what does the defeat mean for the box office appeal of Paul’s brand of pop culture pugilism? Coach Jason Brown of “Last Chance U” makes his first appearance since getting booted over his Patrick Mahomes slander. Will he and Whitlock play nice in a debate over Dak Prescott and Deshaun Watson? Jason takes a flamethrower to the NAACP Image Awards and makes a case for why the organization no longer serves the advancement of colored people and should be disbanded. “The NAACP has no interest in advancing the cause of black people or promoting a positive image of black people. The NAACP is using black people to promote the BLM-LGBTQ+ Alphabet Mafia agenda. We (black people) are so ruled by racial idolatry that we adopt and promote any agenda labeled as 'black,' including agendas directly opposed to religious principles and values. LGBTQ+ has been labeled black.” Shemeka Michelle weighs in with her reaction to Ben Crump, Brittney Griner, Mr. Gabrielle Union, and the “advancement” she witnessed during the ceremony.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 388 | Should Baltimore Dump Lamar Jackson? | Brandon Miller & Alabama’s ‘Boyz n the Burbs’
Is it time for Lamar Jackson to fly the coop in Baltimore? Contract negotiations with the former NFL MVP and the Ravens have reached a stalemate. Jackson is looking for the "Deshaun Watson treatment" for his next contract, and it doesn’t appear that Baltimore is willing to put him in the same tax bracket. Jason believes that the team has mentally moved on from the QB, and Lamar has another problem. What NFL team is going to trade for a run-first quarterback who wants the most guaranteed money in NFL history? Jason and “Fearless” soldier Steve Kim debate about Lamar’s fate, Eric Bieniemy’s press conference, and Aaron Rodgers’ next home. Plus, Jason delivers a fire-starter that draws a parallel between the saga of Alabama basketball star Brandon Miller, culture, and "Boyz n the Hood." “Brandon Miller is a great kid from a great family. He’s trapped in the destructive culture we created and continue to tolerate. We’ve been watching grown men fold, bow, and submit to this toxic culture for the last decade.” "Fearless" contributors Shemeka Michelle, Delano Squires, and Royce White share their thoughts on the culture that may have pressured Miller into making a bad decision for the sake of defending his “blackness.”We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 387 | Why Alabama Basketball Star Brandon Miller Delivered Handgun to Teammate Darius Miles
Alabama sparked outrage following testimony that implicated basketball star Brandon Miller in a murder investigation. Detectives say that Miller’s former teammate, Darius Miles, texted the sophomore, asking him to meet him to retrieve a gun that Miles left in Miller’s vehicle. Miles now faces murder charges after allegedly using that weapon to kill a young mother, Jamea Harris. Immediately following the incident, Miles was booted from the team by head coach Nate Oats. After this week’s testimony, sports media, fans, and armchair journalists are asking why Brandon Miller wasn’t arrested and why he is still playing for the Crimson Tide. Police are calling him a cooperating witness, but that’s not enough to keep people on social media from vilifying him. Pundits like Clay Travis rushed to judgment and have found him guilty on Twitter. Jason says the entire saga is far too complicated to be tried in a tweet. This case requires actual journalism. “Fearless” takes an in-depth look at the Miller case, and Jason reveals what compelled an otherwise great kid, from a great family, to deliver that gun.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 386 | King Randall CHALLENGES Black Men
At 23 years old, King Randall has accomplished more to impact change in his community than the prominent black social justice warriors of our time. Randall operates the Life Preparatory School for Boys. It’s a free boarding school for at-risk youth in his hometown of Albany, Georgia. Its mission is to provide an education and discipline to the students and turn out young men ready to make a difference in their communities. He recently took to Twitter to call out all weak black men. “Speaking at schools, 'mentoring' on podcasts etc. will never ever do anything serious. Be serious here. Our communities are hot trash because of pretend 'fake work'." Be ready to be inspired!!We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 385 | CNN Bombs Don Lemon | Vladimir Putin Drops Truth Bomb on America | Delano Squires Explodes
Jason has some breaking news for Don Lemon: He’s being squeezed out by CNN. Following the “controversy” over his comments about Nikki Haley, Lemon was given a few days off before being allowed to return to the air. Jason says this is what happens when a network is done with someone. It uses a drummed-up controversy to gently ease you out the door. He knows — that’s how ESPN did it to him. Vladimir Putin is making headlines following his recent speech. The mainstream media is focusing on threats of escalating nuclear war with the West. Pastors Anthony Walker and Bobby Harrington join Jason to discuss the real bomb that should be garnering our attention: the truth bomb Putin dropped on America for turning its back on biblical principles. In his latest column, “Fearless” contributor Delano Squires opines how the cancellation of VH1’s “Sorority Sisters” should be used as a guideline to prevent the further feminization of black men. Plus, the first lady of "Fearless,” Shemeka Michelle, tries to “Make It Make Sense” as to why Ciara continues to emasculate Russell Wilson on social media and why the internet wants to ban a dancing TikTok influencer.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 384 | NBA Embraces Karl Malone’s Sleazy Personal Life | Jason Brown Booted for Trolling Mahomes
Social media outrage controlled the narrative during the NBA’s All-Star Weekend when Karl Malone, the league’s third all-time scorer, was named a judge in the slam dunk contest. There’s no defending Malone’s sleazy personal past, but the NBA has no choice but to accept it. “Malone’s actions were and are indefensible. But burying its head is the only option the NBA really had. The league is filled with sexually irresponsible young men. ... Kobe Bryant is a deity. He bought his way out of sexual assault allegations. You think he’s the only one? I don’t.” Jason says the outrage surrounding Malone’s presence at All-Star Weekend has more to do with his politics than his personal life. “If Malone voted for the right political party, few people would care that he was once a 'minor-attracted person.'” “Fearless” contributor Steve Kim shares his thoughts on whether the league made a mistake including Malone. Plus, Steve weighs in on the NFL testing DK Metcalf for drugs and a white guy winning the dunk contest. Another weekend brought another Twitter beef between Coach Jason Brown of “Last Chance U” and Kansas City fans over Patrick Mahomes. What did Coach JB say that caused Jason to boot him from the show?We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 383 | Rihanna’s Vogue Cover Captures 'Divine Feminine' New World Order
Fresh off her Super Bowl performance, Rihanna is gracing the cover of British Vogue with a scene straight from the "divine feminine" movement’s utopian dreams — leading her man, A$AP Rocky, down the beach while he holds their children, sending a direct message that black women expect black men to take a back seat in the "divine" new world order. “Fearless” soldier Royce White joins Jason to show how this "divine" dream is actually causing a nightmare in the black community. “Rihanna may have enough money to support A$AP Rocky or her family — or whatever crew she has around her — money may not be an issue to them, but the idea that women should lead ultimately is the gateway for the black identity and freedom to be linked to the expansion of government.” Plus, Royce explains his new podcast, "Please, Call Me Crazy," and whether Jason is ever going to make it onto the guest list.
