Trump endorses Stephen A. Smith for president — but is it a trick?



While talking to Bill O’Reilly and Andrew Cuomo on “News Nation,” Stephen A. Smith received a presidential endorsement that no one was expecting.

President Donald Trump called into the show to endorse Smith as a 2028 presidential nominee.

“Stephen A. Smith may run for president, as you know,” O’Reilly told Trump over the phone. “Do you have any advice for Stephen A. if he launches the run?”

“No, Stephen A., he’s a good guy, he’s a smart guy, I love watching him, he’s got great entertainment skills, which is very important. People watch him. You know, a lot of these Democrats I watch, I say, ‘They have no chance.’ I’ve been pretty good at picking people and picking candidates, and I will tell you, I’d love to see him run,” Trump said to cheers from the studio audience.


“Boom,” Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” says. “Donald Trump has joined Stephen A. Smith’s campaign for the presidency in 2028. Doesn’t surprise me.”

“But it does surprise me that they’re paying the guy $20 million a year at ESPN and he doesn’t even have to pay attention to sports,” he continues, “He’s out campaigning for president.”

BlazeTV contributors Steve Kim and T.J. Moe are glad Trump is endorsing Smith.

“I’m with Donald Trump,” Kim says. “I hope he runs for president, please let it be. Please. In fact, let his running mate be Jazzy Jazz Ratchet. That’s a dream party ticket for me. So yes, I endorse the endorsement of Donald J. Trump.”

“I had the same thought,” Moe chimes in. “Trump’s baiting him into it. It’s no different than what I heard yesterday, Beto O’Rourke came out and said, ‘If the people of Texas want me to run for the Senate, I will run.’ And I’m like, ‘Yes, I will donate and contribute to your campaign because it will guarantee another conservative maintains Texas.’”

“That’s what I think Donald Trump’s doing here,” he adds.

Racial firestorm brewing? New, bold voice fuels ‘Karmelo Anthony grift’



Dr. Umar Johnson — a black activist, psychologist, and motivational speaker widely known as the "Prince of Pan-Africanism” — has weighed in on the “Karmelo Anthony grift.”

On a recent episode of "The Art of Dialogue," Johnson painted Anthony as the sole victim. Jason Whitlock plays the clip.

“Hunter is a 225-pound football player. Hunter is nearly 60 to 70 pounds heavier than Karmelo by himself, but he was not by himself. Hunter was with his brother Austin. Austin is around Hunter's size as well,” Johnson said.

He argued that as a “160-pound black boy” facing “two white boys in racist Texas, both of whom are 60 to 70 pounds heavier,” with intentions to “accost [him] physically,” Karmelo had every right to defend himself.

“I have received text messages from eyewitnesses, and you know what they told me? They said both brothers tried to jump Karmelo. In the state of Texas, you have the right to stand your ground,” Johnson snapped. “If you feel that your life or safety is in imminent danger, you have a right to defend yourself to include using deadly force.”

As for the knife Anthony was allegedly carrying at a school-sponsored event, Johnson justified it by saying, “He's a black man in Texas. Why wouldn't he have a knife?”

From the get-go, Jason’s take on the Karmelo Anthony/Austin Metcalf incident has been that “this is cold-blooded murder ... a simple case of someone overreacting to a verbal conflict.” However, watching the fallout as groups rally to support both boys has led him to believe that the incident is being used as a “stick of dynamite ... to spark violent racial conflict.”

“Umar Johnson is part of lighting the fuse,” he says. “Maybe his inside information is right. ... I don’t believe that’s the actual narrative.”

Granted “we live in a cell phone society,” there’s a good possibility that a video recording will soon reveal the truth.

“Dominique Alexander of the Next Generation Action Network said that he was told there's video evidence of what transpired,” says Jason.

“At some point, they're going to release the video of what happened to Austin Metcalf. ... When that video is released, it's going to be so one-sided and look so bad for Karmelo Anthony and the people that supported Karmelo Anthony,” he predicts, adding that its aim is to be “as triggering as the George Floyd video was in 2020.”

“I believe this video is intended to trigger white people and to so repulse them that they just say, ‘Man, all these black people that supported Karmelo Anthony, this media that wouldn't tell us the truth ... this media that has imposed this racist double standard — this is the line in the sand.”’

“What we just heard from Dr. Umar Johnson was just another piece to the puzzle of stirring this Karmelo Anthony/Austin Metcalf pot to a point that it bubbles over and explodes and there's some sort of racial conflict that happens in the Dallas and the Frisco, Texas, area,” Jason hypothesizes. “They're hoping that it spreads and that it so hardens the hearts of white America that the entire desire to achieve any type of racial harmony in America disappears.”

To hear Whitlock’s take on the dark, racially divided future the radical left is conspiring to facilitate, watch the episode above.

Bill Belichick’s fortune ‘sucked dry’ by 24-year-old girlfriend



Former NFL head coach Bill Belichick is all over the news once again, but this time it's not for a Super Bowl win. Rather, it’s because Belichicks’s 24-year-old girlfriend appeared controlling in an interview with CBS News — which the pair are now trying to downplay.

“I agreed to speak with CBS Sunday morning to promote my new book, ‘The Art of Winning; Lessons from My Life in Football.’ Prior to this interview, I clearly communicated with my publicist at Simon and Schuster that any promotional interviews I participated in would agree to focus solely on the contents of the book,” Belichick said in a statement.

“Unfortunately, that expectation was not honored during the interview. I was surprised when unrelated topics were introduced,” he continued. “After this occurred several times, Jordon, with whom I share both a personal and professional relationship, stepped in to reiterate that point to help refocus the discussion.”


“She was not deflecting any specific question or topic but simply doing her job to ensure the interview stayed on track. Some of the clips make it appear as though we were avoiding the question of how we met, but we have been open about the fact that Jordon and I met on a flight to Palm Beach in 2021,” he added.

Belichick went on to say the clips had been “selectively edited” to “suggest a false narrative that Jordon was attempting to control the conversation.”

Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” believes that Belichick really did agree to a conversation about his book, but CBS saw a more lucrative opportunity with Belichick’s “sugar baby there.”

However, he doesn’t believe Belichick’s decision to date the 24-year-old is a wise one.

“I look at Bill Belichick’s lack of wisdom, and it’s amazing,” Whitlock says, noting that a recent New York Post article details Hudson’s $8 million real estate portfolio that she put together since meeting Belichick.

“She just started buying property in 2023 and getting loans for property, and this is all spelled out in the New York Post. And Bill Belichick saying they met in 2021. My math is right — that’s four years ago, and that makes her, if my math is correct, 20 at that time,” he continues.

“Bill Belichick would have been 69, and he met a 20-year-old on a plane, and by 2023 she started acquiring real estate property,” he adds.

Basically, Whitlock believes Belichick has fallen for Hudson’s scheme.

“I don’t know if Jordon Hudson is an escort, a pro. I do know she’s a young woman that is taking advantage of a 73-year-old man who’s in a full-blown life crisis because of his failure with dealing with the aftermath of Tom Brady leaving the New England Patriots,” Whitlock says.

“This man is incredibly insecure, and this woman is taking advantage of it,” he adds.

LeBurned out: LeBron James destroys legacy in Los Angeles



Some basketball fans and critics like to argue that LeBron James is the true GOAT of men’s basketball.

Jason Whitlock, however, disputes this, claiming that while James is “a top five, top 10” NBA player, he doesn’t come close to legends like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, or Tim Duncan. The hype that’s long surrounded LeBron, he contends, has been driven by the media rather than by genuine success — particularly during LeBron’s seven years with the Los Angeles Lakers.

“LeBron's early years in Cleveland, his four years in Miami, his return to Cleveland, all of that — great,” Jason caveats. However, he adds, “These seven years in Los Angeles have been a psyop, a mirage, a narrative, a script that's been played out. ... The media has lied to us about what's been going on with LeBron James the entire time he's been in LA.”

He compares James’ LA career to the newly released movie “Sinners,” which “critics are overrating,” even though “anybody with a brain” knows it’s “a ripoff of ‘From Dusk Till Dawn.’”

Similarly, LeBron’s time with the Lakers has been marked by media hype and “a lot of failure.” Shannon Sharpe’s role in maintaining the phony LeBron narrative, especially with his funny catchphrase “Lakers in 5,” and the fact that the Lakers were eliminated from the playoffs in five games by the Minnesota Timberwolves on April 30, 2025, underscore his argument that the media’s narrative has outpaced LeBron’s actual success.

“This man has exited the first round of the playoffs multiple times while a Los Angeles Laker,” says Jason. With the exception of LeBron’s 2020 “bubble title” — a championship won in the NBA’s fanless, COVID-era Orlando quarantine bubble — his career with the Lakers has been “an abject failure."

LeBron’s focus on boosting stats to chase Michael Jordan’s legacy, coupled with poor decisions like hiring rookie coach J.J. Redick, has contributed to his less than stellar record, according to Jason. After the Lakers’ 2025 playoff exit, he warns that LeBron’s overhyped narrative may hurt his legacy, teeing critics up to rank him below Kobe Bryant.

Whitlock extends his media critique by comparing LeBron to Shedeur Sanders, a football player hyped as a star by his father, Deion Sanders, and the media but whose draft slide sparked ridicule.

LeBron’s over-inflated legacy is “no different than what Deion and Shedeur did in Colorado. All that hype,” and now Shedeur “could get cut by the Cleveland Browns, could end up in Canada in all of this reaching to prove to everybody that Shedeur Sanders is ... one of the greatest things to ever happen in college football,” says Jason.

“Now Shedeur is a laughingstock. He's having to go on a PR campaign to try to rehabilitate his tarnished reputation.”

Jason believes LeBron’s media-driven hype risks a similar fall, leaving his LA legacy as more illusion than greatness.

GiveSendGo founder on the truth behind Karmelo Anthony’s account



GiveSendGo founder Jacob Wells has come under fire for platforming Karmelo Anthony, whose family has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars on the platform after Anthony allegedly stabbed and killed Austin Metcalf.

While the entire story of what really happened has yet to be told, Wells has defended his decision to platform Anthony from a position of Christian and conservative values.

“I’m sure you’re familiar with Kyle Rittenhouse,” Wells tells Jason Whitlock on “Jason Whitlock Harmony.” “When his campaign was kicked off of GoFundMe and every other platform, all the other crowdfunding platforms, Facebook shutting it down, whatever — it landed on our platform.”


“We saw massive amounts of hate from the left at that moment, massive amounts of information, misinformation, being posted throughout the media about the situation. And we said, ‘Well, you know what, there’s actually a principle here that people ought to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, not public opinion,’” Wells explains.

“It’s a biblical position,” he continues. “So we allowed that campaign. And then that kind of opened up the door where people said, ‘Well, here’s a platform that’s just not canceling people whenever, like GoFundMe has been and still does,’” he continues.

This reputation the platform has gained has attracted people who wanted to help people like the truckers in Canada and Daniel Penny.

“Daniel Penny’s campaign was another big one,” he says. “We’ve had many, many, legal defense funds for people that were accused of violent crimes, accused of murdering people by the prosecution.”

“And so we said, ‘You know what, this principle of presumption of innocence and not ruled by mobs really ought to be preserved in difficult circumstances,’ and that led us to where we are now,” he continues, noting that Karmelo Anthony’s family did not even start the campaign for him; it was someone else.

This was the same for Kyle Rittenhouse, as a stranger set up his GiveSendGo.

“So the Anthony family took over the campaign, and then in the process, a lot of fake news came out, as it does around all of these high-profile events, about the spending of funds, the use of funds being used for things like buying a Cadillac — fake news, not true — buying a house — fake news, not true — lots of fake news and a lot of racial tension narrative around it,” he explains.

“Pull race out of it; what the right really should be doing — and I would consider myself one, conservative, Christian, went to school to be a pastor, love people, understand that Jesus died for the worst of the worst, including myself,” he continues, “The right as being principled people ought to be saying, and this is what I didn’t see, is that ‘This is a horrible situation.’”

“The facts don’t look good for Karmelo Anthony, according to what we’ve seen so far,” he says, “But he ought to be given the same affording that was afforded to Daniel Penny and Kyle Rittenhouse.”

“Because as you begin to erode the principle for anyone, you begin to erode it for everyone,” he adds.

‘Nakedly racist’ new film: Ryan Coogler's ‘Sinners’ inspires Karmelo Anthony defenders



The debate surrounding Karmelo Anthony has predictably erupted into one of race, with Anthony’s supporters painting the victim, Austin Metcalf, as the perpetrator because of the color of his skin.

“We don’t actually know what Karmelo Anthony was thinking, but the narrative that they’re presenting is that, ‘Well, Austin Metcalf is a representative of whiteness, and if he’s a representative of whiteness, then all of the sins of whiteness, all of this slavery, systemic oppression, cultural hegemony, and all of these things are a part of Austin Metcalf’s fault,’” Jack Posobiec tells Jason Whitlock on “Jason Whitlock Harmony.”

“This is, as you always say, this is the idea of collective justice and collective guilt, which is not biblical. It is not Christian. This is a very primitive version of thinking. This is the way the world was — it was tribal — right before Christ came along,” he continues.

And that’s exactly what a new film by Ryan Coogler called ‘Sinners’ does — sends us back to a tribal world where black people and white people only saw each other for the color of their skin.


“What does that do? That divides people,” Posobiec tells Whitlock. “I guess that’s good for donations, right, in the same way that in ‘Sinners,’ it’s good for the box office.”

“But you know what? It’s bad for the country, and unfortunately it’s going to create more Austin Metcalfs,” he warns.

“I’m interested in what Hollywood is targeting at young black people,” Whitlock chimes in, adding, “I found this movie ‘Sinners’ to be the most nakedly racist movie that I’ve ever seen. That’s my takeaway, and it’s akin to ‘Birth of a Nation.’”

“We’ve listened to black people and black historians talk about the evilness of ‘Birth of a Nation’ and what it did,” he continues. “And I don’t disagree with them. It was programming and propaganda.”

“But this is the most nakedly racist. This movie ‘Sinners’ says white people are the devils. It’s as if Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam wrote this movie in 1930,” he adds.

Bill Belichick's girlfriend TAKES OVER in embarrassing CBS interview



Bill Belichick has long been known as one of — if not the — greatest coach in NFL history. But during a recent interview with CBS, the UNC head coach appeared to be undermined by his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson.

“Jordon was a constant presence during our interview,” CBS correspondent Tony Dokoupil commented in a voiceover of the interview — as she was sitting in the room with Belichick and Dokoupil the entire time.

“You have Jordon right over there,” Dokoupil commented, as the camera panned to her sitting slightly out of shot. “Everybody in the world seems to be following this relationship. They’ve got an opinion about your private life. It’s got nothing to do with them, but they’re invested in it. How do you deal with that?”


“I’ve never been too worried about what everybody else thinks. Just try to do what I feel like is best for me and what’s right.”

Hudson then shut down the conversation when Dokoupil asked how they met.

“We’re not talking about this,” Hudson said, despite not being the one interviewed.

“No?” Dokoupil asked, surprised, as the famous coach sat silent.

“No,” Hudson replied.

As many others do, Jason Whitlock of “Jason Whitlock Harmony” finds the entire situation incredibly strange.

“This whole thing, not a good look for Bill Belichick,” Whitlock says. “His 24-year-old girlfriend seems to have a lot of say so and a lot of control over a 73-year-old coaching legend. Bill Belichick is making himself a bit of a laughing stock in my opinion.”

“Belichick is throwing away a part of his legacy,” he adds.

‘BLM all over again’: Woman risks life exposing Karmelo Anthony defender Dominique Alexander



Sarah Fields is not only a Republican Texas delegate, army veteran, and mother, but she’s also the woman behind exposing Karmelo Anthony’s most prominent defender, Dominique Alexander.

Alexander has caught wind of Fields' investigation, as he’s begun holding up her social media posts at press conferences and pointing the finger at her.

“It started with me sharing the arrest report, which I find pretty wild, because I requested the arrest report through an open records request to Frisco PD,” Fields tells Jason Whitlock on “Jason Whitlock Harmony.”


“As soon as I received it, I read it, and I posted it. All I said was ‘arrest report for Karmelo Anthony,’ and it went viral, it got millions of views, and I got threats. My family was threatened, I was threatened, I was called a racist, I was called a bigot for sharing an arrest report, an official document,” she continues.

What ended up really getting under Alexander’s skin was when Fields discovered that his fraudulent organization has filed nothing through the IRS since 2020 — and that he has a lengthy history of criminal behavior.

“It appears like money laundering, is what it looks like, and I have challenged him multiple times to share financial statements, and it’s funny — he doesn’t respond to that,” she explains. “He has no problem saying that it’s disrespectful, and that I’m a liar, but he hasn’t dispelled any of the supposed lies.”

“He hasn’t defended himself and said, ‘Actually, here’s documentation. Here’s receipts.’ He’s done none of that. He just says that I’m disrespectful and that I’m lying about him,” she continues, noting that Alexander even blamed Fields for the appearance of victim Austin Metcalf’s father at the press conference.

And while hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised through the Anthony family’s GiveSendGo account, Fields doesn’t believe that money has been obtained honestly.

“I truly believe that the family and Dominique Alexander are trying to cash in. I believe that they were dishonest with the people who were donating to the GiveSendGo, especially since once they reached over $400,000 on the GiveSendGo, they then magically changed the description to say, ‘Oh, this isn’t actually just for legal funds. This is to cover all expenses, including relocating,’” Fields says.

“This looks like Black Lives Matter all over again,” Whitlock comments. “Except there is no dead black man or boy. There’s a black man or boy that has committed murder, and it’s like they can turn any situation — whether you get killed or whether you do the killing — you can be the victim worthy of raising money off of and then funneling the money any direction you want to go.”

Whitlock: Shannon Sharpe aiming to rip off ESPN to fund accuser settlements



Professional football Hall of Famer and ESPN analyst Shannon Sharpe was recently hit with a $50 million civil lawsuit. The plaintiff, 20-year-old OnlyFans model Gabriella “Gabbi” Zuniga, alleges over the course of their two-year relationship, Sharpe raped her twice, recorded sexual encounters without consent, and threatened her.

Even though Sharpe has denied the allegations and insisted his encounters with Zuniga were “100% consensual,” he has temporarily stepped down from his role at ESPN.

In a statement, Sharpe wrote, “At this juncture I am electing to step aside temporarily from my ESPN duties. I will be devoting this time to my family, and responding and dealing with these false and disruptive allegations set against me. I plan to return to ESPN at the start of the NFL preseason."

Jason Whitlock, however, says what’s probably going on behind the scenes is ESPN and Sharpe are engaged in a “negotiation about his exit.”

“If Shannon Sharpe quits ... he surrenders all that money; if ESPN can fire him for cause, he surrenders all that money,” he says. “[Sharpe] wants ESPN to have to fire him without cause so that he can get some of that money that ESPN owes him.”

Granted Zuniga’s attorney is Tony Buzbee, who has a long history of prosecuting black celebrities, Sharpe is going to need all the money he can get.

“If he's going to survive, even in the podcast space, he's going to have to reach a bunch more settlements with potential accusers” because Buzbee’s MO is “[kicking] up enough dust and enough controversy that other accusers come out of the woodwork, and they all want settlements,” Jason explains.

“ESPN likely wants to fire him with cause and say, ‘We don't owe you an additional dime.’ Shannon Sharpe wants them to fire him without cause so he can get” a portion of his salary “in a settlement, and then he can take that money and dole it out to his accusers,” he continues.

“He can then do 'Club Shay Shay,' and the corporations and advertisers that support 'Club Shay Shay' can all put the blinders back on.”

Sharpe’s claim that he’s temporarily stepping away from ESPN is most likely “a delay tactic as they negotiate his exit.”

Whitlock: Shedeur Sanders has daddy issues



Conversations about whether Shedeur Sanders is being helped or hindered by his legendary father, Deion Sanders, are circulating throughout the sports world.

Jason Whitlock argues that Deion is an obstacle for his son. The main reason why is that Shedeur “didn't get pushed out of the cocoon” and likely never will.

“There is a process of maturation; there's a process of development where a boy becomes a man and he gets pushed out of the cocoon,” says Jason.

For most boys, they get pushed out of the cocoon after high school graduation. They go off to college or to the military, and a few years later they “come back as a man.” But that wasn’t the case for Shedeur.

“Deion, out of his own desires, never gets his son out of the cocoon. He actually uses his son … to get a job at Jackson State University and then uses his son and Travis Hunter to get a job at Colorado,” says Jason, adding that Shedeur has suffered the consequences of his father’s actions.

Now that he’s headed into the NFL, people are asking: “How's he going to handle not having his dad around?”

Given that Shedeur has “never been coached by anybody but his father” and is already “worth millions of dollars,” it’s looking like trouble is brewing.

“His dad's personality is the personality of a defensive back or a wide receiver, not the personality of a quarterback, and his dad, being one of the greatest players and now being a somewhat successful college coach, will have real strong opinions, credible opinions, on how we're developing and using his son,” says Jason.

He knows that Deion won’t hesitate to “inject [himself]” into matters involving Shedeur. As he's “one of ten greatest football players of all time” and “someone with access to a platform to go at you or expose you,” this creates a “nightmare scenario.”

Any team Shedeur plays for will be subjected to Deion’s opinions and power.

If that wasn’t a big enough headache, any team Shedeur plays for will also have to contend with the lack of humility and deep-rooted insecurities he’s inherited from Deion.

“Deion calls himself Coach Prime, and he pretends to be this hyperconfident person, but he's not, and he's given his son the same radical materialism, the same insecurity,” says Jason.
