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 don't think we can just walk away from those guys and ignore them and hope that they go away.” Jason shares his thoughts on why Black Gangs Matter and welcomes the perspective of Jackson’s friend, colleague, and "Fearless" soldier Royce White. Roe v. Wade continues to be the topic of discussion around the country, but is it a point of discussion in America’s church? Furthermore, should it be? In Tennessee Harmony, Jason welcomes Pastor Anthony Walker and special guest Pastor Ron Tucker of Grace Church STL. The trio tackles the role of the church in combating the country’s culture war. Plus, Jason seeks advice from the pastors over a recent Twitter interaction with Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett. Today's Sponsor:July 4th is almost here!

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 journey from a football field in Washington to the nation’s highest court, and he shares the prayer that sparked the case. Former TV anchor Kari Lake left the media world over the direction of journalism and soon found herself immersed in politics. Today, she’s the President Trump-endorsed candidate for Arizona governor. Lake recently made headlines when video of her destroying a CNN reporter went viral and after a contentious interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier. The gubernatorial hopeful joins "Fearless" to set the record straight on drag queens, Fox News, border security, and election integrity.Get 10% off Blaze swag by using code Fearless10 at https://shop.blazemedia.com/fearless Make yourself an official member of the “Fearless Army!” Support Conservative Voices!

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 court’s ruling, but these rich and powerful men do have something at stake in the move to ban abortions: their sinful lifestyles. “Most of these guys just want to get laid. And if their girlfriend or mistress gets pregnant in the process, they want the option of offering cash, a non-disclosure agreement, and an abortion.” Who is aiding these men in their secular pursuits? It may just be our faith leaders. By refusing to address the culture war from the pulpit, are we just emboldening the current abortion culture? "Fearless" soldiers Dave Shannon and T.J. Moe join Jason to tackle the question: Why aren’t churches discussing Roe? Plus, Steve Kim adds his thoughts on the matter and weighs in on who would be a better date-night option for your sister: Dave Portnoy or O.J. Simpson.

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 BlazeTV contributor Jill Savage to discuss the cowardly act. Jason makes a compelling argument that the demeaning attack was sexist and shares his perspective as someone who once called Dan Le Batard his closest friend in the media industry.

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 and BlazeTV contributor Jill Savage join the show to discuss the landmark ruling. Should June 24, 2022, be commemorated as a day of celebration, or is there still more work ahead before this decision has been heralded as a true victory? When the draft opinion was leaked in May, it showed a vote of 5-4, but today’s official vote saw Chief Justice John Roberts side with the majority in the 6-3 ruling. What is the significance of Roberts' movement in the matter? Jill has a compelling theory.Today's Sponsor:Two FREE 18-ounce Prime, center cut Ribeyes?! What are you waiting for?

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 conservative living in the domain of the progressives. “Snyder bought the wrong football team in the wrong city. He can’t win. He’s playing a never-ending road game. He’s surrounded by political people using him to make a point to Jerry Jones and every other pro sports owner.” Jason explores the connection between BLM, the LGBTQ movement, Ghislaine Maxwell, and the public persecution of an unapologetic NFL owner. T.J. Moe joins the show to discuss Jason’s theory of “LGBTQ insurance,” sex in the NFL, and his thoughts on Bart Scott bashing Tom Brady and praising Peyton Manning. "Fearless" debuts a new feature, “Make It Make Sense.” "Fearless" soldiers Maj Toure and Shemeka Michelle attempt to help Jason understand the logic behind two video clips. Can Maj make sense of a shooting at a dollar store? And can Shemeka decipher the message behind Jussie Smollett’s continued denials?

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 – discuss the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of Watson, Gronk, and Walker. Steve Kim argues that the Browns should appease the woke media by signing Colin Kaepernick as Watson’s backup. T.J. Moe predicts that Gronk will once again come out of retirement when Tampa QB Tom Brady calls him in early December. During Tennessee Harmony, Pastors Bobby and Anthony criticize Walker for his lack of transparency. The best take of the day may be Jason analogizing Watson to Tiger Woods, who was never the same golfer after the 2009 Thanksgiving car-and-marriage crash.Today's Sponsor:Two FREE 18-ounce Prime, center cut Ribeyes?!

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 that black voters exist in a political wilderness that causes them to devalue their American citizenship. The first lady of the Fearless Army, Shemeka Michelle, focuses on Jason’s use of the catchphrase “dragged kings,” imploring black men to stop allowing politics and women to define their values. Steve Kim, the Korean Cosell, wraps up the show discussing Steph Curry’s legacy. After winning his fourth NBA title, is Curry now one of the 10 greatest players of all time? Steve and Jason answer that question.Today's Sponsor:Pre-Born has a passion to save unborn babies from abortion and see women come to Christ. Help rescue babies' lives.

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 it wasn’t in connection with freed slaves from a century and a half ago. It was a part of the protests following the death of George Floyd. Jason believes the connection to Floyd is problematic. “I suspect most people don’t fully comprehend or get Juneteenth. It’s a national holiday because of the death of George Floyd, not because our political leaders had a sincere interest in celebrating the emancipation of slaves in Texas or across the South.” Jason has an alternative to the polarizing, over-politicized holiday. “Fearless” contributor Delano Squires shares his thoughts and discusses the problem with the colors red, green, and black being associated with Juneteenth. "Fearless" soldier Dave Shannon answers the question of whether America will ever accept the holiday as a legitimate one. Plus, Shemeka Michelle has some words for Joy Reid.
