Jason Whitlock: Race hustler Ben Crump joins Kohen Wiley’s mom in exploiting Mississippi tragedy



Tragedy struck Senatobia, Mississippi, when police were called to Walmart for a shoplifting call. When police confronted a pair of adults, one allegedly drove a car toward the officers, who then shot at the car — killing 1-year-old Kohen Wiley.

“They are arguing that they weren’t running their car into the police and there was no reason for the police to shoot into the car,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock says.

However, regardless of what the truth is, Whitlock has found the mother’s reaction tragic as well.

The mother, Vellesiya Wiley, posted photos of herself at the funeral, fanning out a stack of cash and holding a stuffed animal.

“The mother looks like a child. That looks like a teenage mother. That looks anywhere from age 15 to 20 years old to me, is what this mother looks like. But this is at the funeral,” Whitlock says. “What are you doing?”


“I have some sympathy because she’s a child, the mother seems to be. And so she’s reacting like a child,” he adds.

Attorney Ben Crump didn’t waste time chiming in on the devastating news, writing in a post on X that he “will be commissioning an independent autopsy for baby Kohen Wiley because this family deserves the truth.”

“We are calling on the Senatobia Police Department to release the body camera footage now. Kohen Wiley will never get the chance to grow up. His mother will carry this pain for the rest of her life. There must be full transparency and accountability in this case,” he continued. “Justice for baby Kohen!”

“Ben Crump, the ambulance chaser. The illiterate ambulance chaser that barely has command of the English language,” Whitlock comments.

“There doesn’t seem to be much disagreement. The child was shot. What’s the autopsy going to show?” he asks, before pointing out that regardless, “one of the major takeaways” should be, “Don’t use your child if you’re planning on committing any sort of crime.”

“Don’t take your child with you if you’re planning on shoplifting. If you’re planning on doing anything illegal, leave your child with a babysitter at home. Don’t carry your child. And if you decide to get in your car and drive away as police try to detain you, really don’t have your child involved,” he continues.

“But we’ve created a society and a mentality and a culture that says, ‘No, other people are responsible for my safety’ ... This is a toxic, poisonous, deadly mindset and culture that we’ve created that too many black people have fallen for,” he adds.

Comedian Druski and BET Awards LAMPOON the black church



Comedian Druski took the stage at the BET Awards as a flamboyant preacher obsessed with celebrities' net worths and extravagant displays of wealth. And while it was a joke, BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock believes it exposed something very real about the current state of the black church.

“The black church is now a running joke to the point that the BET Awards can be based off of it. Druski opened up the BET Awards mocking the black church,” Whitlock says, before playing a few clips from Druski’s performance.

In one clip, Druski yelled that “somebody getting impregnated with the Word of God in here, in the front row right here.”


In another clip, he says, “We’ve got so many stars in the building whose net worths are blessed and who God has ordained to bless me. Put Tyler Perry net worth up there. Oh my God! Glory! $1.4 billion dollars! We pulling net worth tonight. Amen.”

“Somebody better donate, amen? Amen. Amen. Who else in the building? We got Stevie Wonder in the building. Put his net worth up there. $200 million,” he continues, with the screen behind him showing Wonder’s net worth in brail.

“This man is mocking the black church, taking God’s name in vain in front of a national television audience on the biggest night in black culture,” Whitlock says.

“I actually think he’s a force for good. He’s holding up a mirror and saying this is the type of clown show we have become,” he continues.

“Druski is using comedy properly to hold up a mirror and say ... our behavior is so foolish that the only thing I can do is mock it,” he adds.

While Shemeka Michelle agrees, she also doesn’t think the comedy is for everyone.

“I don’t have a problem with it when it comes to people like us who actually can say this is so sad, that it’s accurate ... but I think where my problem would come in at is that so many people won’t see it. They won’t see that this is accurate and this is sad and that there needs to be a change,” Michelle says.

“They will just take it as ‘OK, this is nothing to take serious, and we can continue to just play with God and the church, and it’s something that should be made a joke of,’” she continues.

“That’s what I’m kind of fearful of, that people just won’t have any reverence for God,” she adds.

Jason Whitlock: Nike and the WNBA fumbled the Caitlin Clark phenomenon



When Caitlin Clark was breaking records, packing arenas, and transforming women’s basketball into a national sensation, BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock thought it was an appropriate time to drop a Nike shoe for the star.

Instead, the sportswear giant waited until Clark’s third WNBA season to launch one.

“Looks like a sharp shoe. But the timing of when they’re releasing, now, when Caitlin Clark’s popularity is at the lowest it’s been since 2022. Caitlin Clark starting her junior year of college started to become a force of nature,” Whitlock says.

“And by the time she got to her senior year in college, by the time she got to the national championship game her senior year, the ratings for women’s college basketball went through the roof. They set records, unprecedented records,” he continues, adding, “Caitlin Clark had arrived.”


However, despite taking the WNBA to a new level, she was never rewarded.

“No Nike shoe her senior year in college. No Nike shoe when she’s a rookie in the WNBA. No Nike shoe when she’s coming into her second season in the WNBA after setting the league on fire. No shoe then,” Whitlock says, pointing out that now she finally gets her shoe the same year “they’re struggling to sell out the arena in Indiana.”

“They missed the Caitlin Clark window, and they’ve undermined Caitlin Clark, and Caitlin Clark has undermined herself,” he continues, explaining that it should be examined why they “fumbled” her.

“It’s the alphabet mafia. It’s the LGBTQIA+, BLM,” he adds.

Whitlock points to the “sexual and racial politics that have been injected into all of corporate America” as the aggressor but notes that Clark fell for it as well.

“Caitlin Clark being a white, heterosexual woman, a tiny bit reluctant to bend the knee to the alphabet mafia, but she did bend the knee,” he says.

“But she didn’t have the complexion or the right sexual desires for Nike and for the alphabet crew. She didn’t have the right sexual arousal. She didn’t have the right skin color,” he continues, adding, “And so, Nike blew a golden opportunity.”

Stephen A. Smith defends the 'black first' identity destroying black Americans



In a recent conversation with Brandon Tatum and Gary Chambers, ESPN host Stephen A. Smith promoted a “black first identity” — which frames black identity through the lens of historical oppression rather than individual agency and achievement.

“What the hell is wrong with looking at yourself as black first before you’re anything else? Black before you’re American. Black before, you know, you’re anything else. What’s wrong with that?” Smith asked Tatum and Chambers.

“Because all black people ain't the same,” Tatum responded. “Like, for instance, we all different. So when I say ‘I’m black,’ what does that mean? The color of my skin.”

“Black people from New York is different than black people from the South. Black people from Africa that came over here as immigrants are very different than African-Americans. We’re diverse like anybody else,” he continued. “When white people say ‘I’m white first,’ what does that mean?”

Smith argued in response that black people should identify with their enslaved ancestors, as they are identifying with the "remnants of that even in today’s society.”


“I’m saying if you identify yourself as black before you identify yourself as American, what you’re doing is saying coming out of the womb, I know I’m going to be at a disadvantage because I’m in America and I’m going to have to scratch and claw and have an uphill climb,” he continued.

While he says that should not be met with a “defeatist attitude,” he goes on to say that it means “you are at least acknowledging that there are historical insidious acts that are associated with this particular nation.”

BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock is not amused.

“Stephen A. Smith is a cancer to the American media. That you could sit there and be paid $20 million a year by ESPN … and be as unqualified as Stephen A. Smith and then make the argument that there’s all these historical disadvantages, uphill climb,” he comments, annoyed.

“Don’t tell me about 150 years ago in slavery, something you did not experience. Don’t tell me about 100, 80 years ago, and segregation, and things you did not experience,” he says.

“When did you run uphill? When you flunked fourth grade? That was a racist plot? That was American racism making you repeat fourth grade?” he continues, pointing out that Smith’s obsession with a “black first identity” isn’t actually a “black first” identity at all.

“That’s a victim first identity. That’s what you just unpacked,” he explains.

“He’s promoting a victim first identity while claiming to be a Christian, while claiming to belong to some church, while claiming to have some sort of biblical worldview. Show me anywhere in the Bible where Christians are supposed to take on a victim first mentality,” he continues.

“Stephen A. Smith and myself grew up at the exact same time,” he says. “We’ve never been victims.”

‘They need an exorcism’: Whitlock reacts in horror to ‘Austin Bop’ TikTok dance mocking the murder of Austin Metcalf



Supporters of Karmelo Anthony have coined a new dance dubbed the “Austin Bop.” The TikTok trend emerged recently, where participants dance to a rap song by artist 600Notti titled "Austin Bop (stabbing my chest)" by making repeated stabbing/thrusting motions (sometimes using real knives) to mock his 2025 murder by Anthony.

BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock calls it “satanic.”

“This feels spiritual. This feels plotted and calculated,” he said on a recent episode of “Jason Whitlock Harmony.”

Playing multiple clips of Anthony supporters performing the sadistic dance, Whitlock urges his audience to analyze this trend through a “spiritual warfare” lens.

“There is a crisis, a pandemic of satanic behavior, chaotic behavior,” he says, “and I'm sorry, I have to put a color on it because there is a particular color that's being brainwashed into thinking that violence against white people is justified and violence and conflict about any and everything is justified and normal.”

These are the same people, he argues, who are claiming that Anthony acted rightfully in self-defense by stabbing Metcalf, who was unarmed, for pushing him.

“They need an exorcism,” he declares.

“This is a brain rot and a lunacy ... a mental illness, a sickness, a reprobate mind, and a culture that is producing reprobate minds — a culture that has no respect for life,” he continues, enraged.

This participation in and support for objective evil we’re seeing in the black community, he says, is the result of making race one’s core identity.

“We have an anti-white racism problem in America. No one wants to talk about it,” he says.

“Everyone wants to pretend like, ‘No, no, we got black racism. Didn't you hear? Someone said the N-word someplace and that's racism.’ No, what racism is is when a child murders another child and based on race, one group says, ‘Well, no, that was actually self-defense, and we need to be merciful and graceful with the child that did the murdering, and we need to mock [the victim] and his family,”’ he rails.

While the escalating violence among young black people is a multifaceted issue, Whitlock places much of the blame on music.

“There is a form of music that escalates conflict, promotes satanic energy, promotes nihilism, promotes violence, unrepentant violence — and it's called hip-hop,” he says.

“We're programming kids for their own destruction and for the destruction of this country.”

EXCLUSIVE: Austin Metcalf’s father on the verdict and why he won’t — and shouldn’t — apologize



More than a year after the murder of his son Austin, Jeff Metcalf is finally saying everything he couldn’t before — and BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock is all ears.

“I have to give God 100% credit here. I’m not that smart. I couldn’t come up with all that on my own,” Metcalf tells Whitlock on “Fearless.”

Metcalf calls the murder of his son “surreal,” explaining that then having to be “put under the gag order and then have my son dragged through the mud and memes and just the vile comments” was incredibly "taxing mentally, spiritually, physically.”

“So when the gag order was finally lifted, yeah, I mean, I did go off,” he says, admitting that it was not his “best moment.”


“But it was raw, and it was accurate, and it was truthful. I don’t apologize for anything I said. I am who I am. I own it,” he tells Whitlock, explaining that he doesn’t usually cuss as much as he did when he finally went “off.”

“Put somebody in my shoes and go, ‘Look man, if your kid was murdered violently and these people did this to you for 12, 14 months and you had to say nothing,’ I really think I was pretty light. I could have been a lot worse,” he says.

Metcalf has received death threats, emails, and text messages and had to see what Anthony supporters are saying online since his son’s murder.

“Just the vile statements from everyone, and ones who are in denial of the truth. That’s the hardest part. It’s like now that the truth has been shown, all the facts have been presented. So all your lies have been debunked, but they still refuse to accept the verdict, the truth, and they’re all hanging their hat on this appeal,” he explains.

“They’re not going to retry the case. They’re not going to reintroduce evidence. I mean it’s a process. I knew it was going to happen before it happened, and I don’t have any concern about the appeal. They don’t have any grounds,” he continues.

And while Anthony’s supporters are focused on his appeal, Metcalf believes the focus should be on the kids who had to witness his son’s murder.

“This is the thing I really want to talk about most, is look at these kids who saw this murder, who have to be traumatized for the rest of their life. Every one of them is in counseling. I guarantee every one of them will not ever forget that day and what they saw,” he adds.

'Insanity': Jason Whitlock blasts doctor who wrote an article condemning Austin Metcalf's dad as the villain



As reactions to Karmelo Anthony’s murder conviction continue to flood social media, BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock says the most shocking behavior isn't happening in the form of riots — it's happening on the internet.

“There has been a different form of rioting that I did not predict or see coming. … People are rioting and looting their brains online. People are saying crazy things in defense of Karmelo Anthony,” Whitlock says.

“They’re saying really ridiculous things defending Karmelo Anthony because they’re defending this demonic culture that black people have adopted — black people have been baited into. And now, in order to defend our racial idolatry, we have to defend some of the dumbest, most repulsive behavior on the planet,” he says, before pulling up an article one woman wrote that represents this “repulsive behavior.”

The article, by Dr. Stacey Patton, is called “Dear Jeff Metcalf: Your Son Is Dead Because You Failed to Teach Him That Black Boys Have Boundaries.”


Whitlock calls the article “insanity.”

“A lot of these things that we’re seeing are black women making the most ridiculous arguments in the history of the planet justifying the murder,” he says, before showing another example.

“Here’s two black women sitting around talking about the lies that black people should tell to get on those juries so that we can free Karmelo Anthony,” he says.

“If they say, ‘Can you be fair?’ Don’t say, ‘No, I’m not going to put a black man in jail.’ Don’t say that, OK? ‘Cause if that’s what you gonna say, you could have stayed home. You have to go and be like, ‘No, I will hear the evidence. I can be fair.’ Don’t say, ‘I hate white people and I don’t care what he did.’ Don’t do that,” one woman said on the “Gin and Juice Podcast.”

“That’s what people were doing in this case, OK? And then everybody’s like in an uproar because there’s no black people on the jury when damn near half of the black people who could have been on the jury canceled themselves out, you know?” she continued.

“‘Hey, go be dishonest. Go help a kid that murdered someone get away with murder,’” Whitlock mocks, explaining that women like this are a “force for nihilism and wickedness and deception.”

“They’re doing this out in front of everybody. This isn't a private conversation. They’re unrepentant about their wickedness. And that’s the culture that they’ve created. And that’s why their kids, boys and girls, are unrepentant about their wickedness,” he adds.

Jason Whitlock blasts Karmelo Anthony’s parents: ‘An echo chamber of delusion’



After Karmelo Anthony was convicted of murdering Austin Metcalf, his parents are making their interview rounds — and BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock believes what they’re saying is completely “delusional.”

“My son is no murderer. My son didn’t intend to hurt anyone. My son was defending himself, and that’s what hurts so bad,” Anthony’s mother said in an interview on CBS News Texas.

Anthony told the interviewer that she asked the jury to “have mercy” on her son but that she knew “they had their minds made up already.”

“We were delusional. We thought we were going to get a fair shake,” Anthony’s father said.


The two also claimed that “everyone” lied on the stand, with his mother saying, “All of the witnesses' statements were inconsistent. All of them.”

“So Karmelo Anthony’s father said, ‘We were delusional.’ And I think what he should have said is, ‘We are delusional,’” Whitlock says.

“And I say that not trying to be mean-spirited, but they are delusional. They live in a delusional space where their delusions are confirmed. … I just want you to look at the shirt,” he says, pointing out that in the interview, the father was wearing a shirt that reads “#BelieveKarmelo.”

“Why would we believe someone who’s not talking, who didn’t take the stand? What are we to believe? Does Karmelo believe what he’s saying? Because if he did, he would have taken the stand. It was the only chance they had — him taking the stand and convincing a jury that he acted in self-defense,” he continues.

“He didn’t tell his own story,” he adds.

Whitlock also points out that while the mother claimed the witness statements were "inconsistent," the statements were actually “very consistent.”

“You have to explain to me what’s their motive for lying. Why lie? What’s the motive? The black witnesses, the black kids that all went on the stand and told a pretty consistent story amongst the group, what’s their motive?” he says.

“There's an echo chamber of delusion that many black people live in, and it’s controlled by social media. And this is the danger of social media. They create these echo chambers where you can have all of your delusional thoughts confirmed,” he continues.

“‘He didn’t want to kill Austin Metcalf,’” he says, mimicking Anthony’s mother. “Your son brought a knife to a high school track meet and then told a kid, in front of other people, if you touch me, you’ll find out, or something to that degree.”

“This is a state of delusion that these people are existing in,” he adds.

Whitlock blasts Victor Wembanyama for flagrantly disrespecting national anthem in NBA finals



While BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock admits Victor Wembanyama is the San Antonio Spurs’ “biggest star,” he isn’t impressed with the NBA player’s attitude toward the country that’s signing his paychecks.

This is because before the beginning of Game 3, Wembanyama made it a point not to be on the court for the national anthem.

“I do not like Victor Wembanyama, and I didn’t like him before Game 3, and what transpired in Game 3 really made me dislike him,” Whitlock says.

“He did not take the court for the national anthem before Game 3. Victor Wembanyama, I believe, stood in the tunnel, in the locker room during the national anthem before Game 3, and no one talked about it,” he explains.


“This isn’t a coincidence that a Gregg Popovich-run organization has an anti-American Frenchman who can’t come out and respect the national anthem in a country that’s paying him millions upon millions of dollars, a country that’s making him the face of professional basketball,” he continues.

“This guy is the most coddled and pampered athlete perhaps in NBA history, maybe in sports history,” he says. “He’s getting the Colin Kaepernick treatment.”

Whitlock calls the NBA star a “punk” who’s being tolerated purely because “the NBA is a global basketball league, and the NBA is a propaganda arm of the Marxist, socialist, communist agenda.”

“And so, America’s the bad guy, and Victor Wembanyama, the guy the NBA is trying to make the face of the league, can’t even come out and participate in the national anthem,” he adds.
