LeBron’s ‘Second Decision’ leaves basketball fans FURIOUS



On Monday, October 6, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James teased a big announcement. Pitching it as “the Second Decision” — a parody of his infamous 2010 ESPN special where he revealed leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat — NBA fans held their breath in anticipation that the 40-year-old basketball veteran would either announce his retirement or a change in teams.

But no.

It turns out the big reveal has nothing to do with basketball at all. LeBron’s big announcement turned out to be a promotional campaign for a limited-edition Hennessy V.S.O.P cognac bottle collaboration, which will feature his signature “crowning” gesture.

Needless to say, basketball fans are infuriated. The manipulative clickbait marketing left them feeling emotionally exploited, especially considering LeBron’s recent hints at an impending end to his NBA career.

But Jason Whitlock is frustrated by something else: LeBron is yet again leaning deliberately into black stereotypes for marketing gain.

“If he was going to lean into a stereotype, at least he didn't lean into watermelon,” he scoffs.

“This is maddening,” says “Fearless” contributor Steve Kim, who was excited at the prospect of LeBron finally retiring or leaving the Lakers.

“He just won't go away, Whitlock. We're stuck with this guy,” he sighs.

Jason is ready for the LeBron mania to fizzle out, too, but for him, it’s less about basketball and more about LBJ’s impact on culture. He’s tired of the “Bronsexuals” — James’ most ardent, overly defensive fans who exhibit an intense, almost obsessive loyalty to him — “[pretending] like LeBron is some genius, that LeBron is some influencer that's ahead of the conversation.”

“I'm not sure if this dude can read, write, comprehend,” says Jason.

“This guy's got one of the biggest brands in all of America and he's ... [using] it to promote Hennessy” — the most “ghetto liquor in the world?” he asks.

The marketing ploy also proves that LeBron has learned nothing from his past mistakes. The original “Decision,” during which he announced his transition to Miami, was not received well by fans.

“He got ripped and destroyed from that, and you would think that he would learn a lesson from that and that 15 years later, he wouldn't be doing something to draw comparisons to ['the Decision'] and then to do something equally as small,” says Jason.

He can only assume that LeBron’s handlers — Adam Mendelsohn, Rich Paul, and Maverick Carter — are just as cognitively stunted as the drama king himself.

“They can't talk LeBron out of leaning into brown liquor stereotypes?” asks Jason, baffled.

He assumes that LeBron’s Hennessy collab will be defended by the usual tactic of playing the race card: “Anyone that criticizes this will be either an Uncle Tom or sellout like me, or they'll be a racist.”

Now that LeBron’s retirement is no longer on the table, Jason and Steve fear that the aging athlete will play until he’s 50 years old.

“He's certainly going to play until he can force his other son into the NBA,” says Jason.

“That might drive me to Hennessy,” Steve laughs.

Florida mom calls teacher 'racist' for 'monkey' birthday song



A Florida mother is up in arms with her son’s elementary school — Floral Avenue Elementary School in Polk County — after she claims a teacher’s approach to celebrating her son’s birthday was “offensive” and racist.

The mother, Desarae Prather, was sent a video of the birthday party by the teacher, where the teacher was singing a birthday song to the 6-year-old boy.

The song went: “Happy Birthday to you. You live in the zoo, you look like a monkey, and you smell like one, too.”

While the song was meant to be funny and has long been sung to children of all races for the purpose of making them laugh, Prather did not find it funny.


“I automatically said that’s unacceptable and I don’t feel, I don’t think nothing’s funny about it,” the mother said.

“My skin is boiling. I don’t even like racism and to know where we come from and our ancestors and for us to be labeled like that because when they call us monkey, they basically saying that we’re ugly, we act like a monkey and all this and that. I don’t like that at all,” the mother added.

In a letter to the school board, Prather asked for an apology, immediate disciplinary action, and counseling for her son. After receiving no response, she decided to show up in person.

“You can’t make this up,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock says, laughing.

“Yes,” BlazeTV contributor Shemeka Michelle agrees. “I’m thinking, where is the dad? Is he just quiet? Does he not want to be on camera? Is he in the child’s life? Because if he isn’t in the child’s life, he would need counseling more for that than being sung a happy birthday song.”

“It’s crazy,” she continues. “It’s the usual suspects. Always offended, never ashamed.”

Why the ‘black church’ ignored Voddie Baucham



Theologian and Pastor Voddie Baucham was a beacon of hope and a bright mentor for the black community — but he tragically passed away after a medical emergency at only 56 years old.

And despite his profound message, many black churches tend to avoid him.

“Voddie in his presentation wasn’t the stereotypical black minister. Wasn’t a lot of emotion,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock says, before pointing out that after Baucham’s passing, he couldn’t find any mainstream media articles on his legacy.

“Maybe that’s changed,” Whitlock admits, but adds, “And it’s almost like they wanted … to keep Voddie a secret from the traditional black Protestant leftist. They didn’t want us to know about Voddie. And it’s tragic.”


“I think you’re absolutely spot-on,” BlazeTV contributor Chad O. Jackson agrees. “I mean, Voddie’s been on CNN all of one time and they told him, ‘We’ll have you back.’ And they never had him back because of how he was able to embarrass them just by leading into the word of God, quite frankly.”

“But you’re absolutely right. I mean, when you look at black pastors, typically what comes to mind are your Jamal Bryants, your T.D. Jakeses ... even Eric Masons. I know Eric Mason had beef with Dr. Voddie Baucham, even going so far as to, in one of his sermons, use kind of slave vernacular to explain what Voddie Baucham was doing,” Jackson explains.

Jackson tells Whitlock that Mason was “basically accusing Voddie Baucham of making up words like ethnic narcissism to explain or to protect white supremacy.”

“Just this utter nonsense,” he says, calling Baucham “one of the few pastors” he’s aware of who “are unafraid to call out hollow and deceptive philosophies, how these ideologies are infiltrating and subverting God’s people, and how we need to be made aware of them.”

“The Bible says to test every spirit to see if it’s of God. And that’s what Voddie was doing from behind the pulpit,” he adds.

Cross-dressing rapper Bad Bunny to headline Super Bowl — will it be DEMONIC?



Bad Bunny is a cross-dressing Puerto Rican rapper who has never released a song in English, and yet he’s starring in the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show.

Blaze media co-founder Glenn Beck isn’t an expert on the rapper’s work, but BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock is well aware of who he is — and tells Glenn exactly what’s going on.

“Obviously they’re trolling Donald Trump. Obviously, they’re trolling ICE raids and the whole illegal immigration policy enacted by Trump. … They want to make a statement about illegal immigration. They want to make a statement about diversity and Spanish-speaking people. They want to make a statement about transgenderism and sexual fluidity, and Bad Bunny checks all those boxes,” Whitlock begins.

“This has nothing to do with football fans. This is about the left’s control of popular culture and control of the National Football League, which is the strongest thing in popular culture, and they’re using it to make a big, bold statement about how they feel about Donald Trump,” he continues.


Though there is one man more important than President Trump whom they’re attacking, and that is Jesus Christ.

“They didn’t have to pick someone who is so closely associated with demonic activities, so closely associated with promoting gender fluidity and the cross-dressing deal. They didn’t have to pick someone who’s so outspoken against Donald Trump in his illegal immigration policies. This is the poster boy for Trump hate, and this is the poster boy for sexual fluidity and redefining masculinity,” Whitlock says.

“And so parents will be having discussions with their kids on Super Bowl Sunday. ‘Mommy, Daddy, why is this man out here dressed as a woman during some part of this act? Why are his fingernails painted? Why is he taking subtle shots at Trump?’” he continues.

“This is, to me, part of it’s a reaction to the Charlie Kirk memorial service,” he adds, explaining that this is because it “was such a powerful pro-Jesus Christ deal.”

Don Lemon SLAMS white men, Joy Reid redefines fascism



Don Lemon and Joy Reid appear to be in a competition for who can sound the least intelligent in front of an audience, and BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock isn’t sure who is winning.

“Men who look like you, men who vote like you, and men who sound like you. White men, something is broken. Something is cracked deep inside when so many of you believe the answer to fear, to loss, to change is violence,” Lemon said on “The Don Lemon Show.”

“Are you listening to me? I hope I’m saying it loud enough for the people in the back,” he added.

“Don Lemon has always been difficult for me to understand. This feels almost intentionally stupid so that he can be mocked and ridiculed by people that disagree with him. So that he can spark a conversation,” Whitlock says on “Jason Whitlock Harmony.”


“Have you looked at the statistics on the violence among black men? Did you look at the violence that happened as a result of George Floyd and Jacob Blake and Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown and Eric Garner and so on and so forth? Are you kidding? Are you kidding me?” he adds.

But Lemon, of course, isn’t alone in his ridiculous statement, as former MSNBC host Joy Reid had to throw some nonsense out into the universe as well.

“If you go back before the 20th century, there were no income taxes. There were no regulations on business. You could earn as much money as you want, leave 100% of it to your children with no taxes. That’s the world they want back. And to get it back, they need society to change. They need people to be less modern. They need people to want fewer things,” Reid said on BET while attempting to equate the Trump administration to fascism.

“When I heard that I was like, ‘Is she talking about heaven?' No taxes. I get to earn as much as I want. I get to leave it to my family. Man, that sounds awesome. When we say ‘Make America Great Again,’ if that’s what they’re talking about, man, sign me up," Whitlock says.

When deciding who made the “dumber statement,” Whitlock’s panel is having a hard time — but Wilfred Reilly believes it was Reid.

“It’s a tough competition, but I’d probably have to say Joy Reid. You know, Don Lemon, I mean, I think everyone on the panel knows this, but you know, crime is high across the board in the USA, but if you look at murder, black murder rate — seven times the white murder rate,” Reilly says.

“That’s an absurd, racist thing to say,” he says. “But Joy Reid … she doesn’t know what fascism is. I mean, fascism is, you know, it’s the system, business, and government working together.”

“She went through, ‘You’re not going to pay taxes, the government’s not going to be involved in every aspect of life. You can leave 100% of your money to your son or your little girl,'” he continues.

“I would be very comfortable … going back to that world,” he adds.

Super Bowl platforms anti-ICE DRAG QUEEN rapper Bad Bunny to troll MAGA



From Bruce Springsteen to Britney Spears, the NFL used to platform legends at Super Bowl halftime shows — but that has irrefutably changed.

In 2026, rapper Bad Bunny will headline the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, and BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock believes the choice is a slap in the face to not only President Donald Trump and MAGA supporters — but to Americans everywhere.

“They have selected a Latin, gay, hip-hop, gangster, trap music, no-english-speaking rapper to perform at the Super Bowl this year. His name is Bad Bunny. I had heard the name,” Whitlock says.

“And once you start going down the rabbit hole, this is a demonic rapper selected by Jay-Z and the National Football League to promote demonic activity. And I think it’s a reaction in part, partially, to what the Charlie Kirk assassination sparked,” he continues, noting that it was a “terrific moment of religious revival.”


“And the Super Bowl this year is in Northern California, and that is the headquarters of Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi and just this whole revolutionary Marxist left-wing. That’s their headquarters, Northern California,” he explains.

Whitlock loves football but unfortunately is having to come to terms with the NFL now being “a part of a demonic movement” that’s been run by Jay-Z since 2020.

“This is an unapologetic drug dealer,” Whitlock says of Jay-Z. “Says that he was involved in violence and murder, but we’ve placed him on a pedestal. Him and all of his demonic music. We’ve placed him on a pedestal in the National Football League. The most powerful force in American culture.”

“And so Bad Bunny, Puerto Rican rapper, not one song does he sing in English. Not one. So we’re about to have a halftime show where most of the audience will have no idea what’s going on,” Whitlock adds.

“But I guarantee you, Bad Bunny’s going to put on a drag show at halftime because that’s how he got there. By redefining masculinity, by dressing in women’s clothing, by pretending, well, ‘I’m not gay, I’m sexually fluid,’” he continues.

In one music video, Bad Bunny does dress in drag, going as far to wear what appears to be pounds of makeup and giant fake breasts.

“The National Football League is going to put on a halftime drag show,” Whitlock says, disturbed. “I can’t do it. And I’m telling you, I love football, but I fear God more than I love football. They’re grooming our babies. We’re going to pay a price for this.”

Magazine MILKS Belichick-Hudson humiliation ritual



Bill Belichick has accomplished a lot in his football career, but now he’s added another completely different notch to his belt. That is, the North Carolina head coach has become the first coach ever featured on the cover of Us Weekly magazine with his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson.

And BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock does not believe it’s a good thing.

“I’ve heard of midlife crisis ... but on the cover of a magazine with your sugar baby? This, to me, this feels like some sort of ritual, humiliation ritual,” Whitlock says.

“And it couldn’t have come at a worse time,” BlazeTV contributor Steve Kim chimes in. “Look, I understand the way the media works a little bit, and I’m sure this cover was planned out months ago, but to come out on the same week after you get just blown away by USF and on a game day where, once again, she’s on the sideline before the game, I think that’s the greatest irony.”


And BlazeTV contributor T.J. Moe points out that it’s going even worse for Belichick than just poor optics.

“There’s a lawsuit right now going on. It got filed today, where one of the former administrators is suing UNC for hiring Belichick behind closed doors. This is how poorly this is going,” Moe explains.

“This is how upset UNC is right now with the hiring of Bill Belichick,” he says, noting, “and they’re embarrassed about it.”

“I don’t have another explanation other than he’s so tied up in this 24-year-old that he was willing to sacrifice his entire reputation and his life,” he adds.

Whitlock: Black students at Tennessee State University ATTACK white men



Charlie Kirk is no longer with us, but young men are continuing to fight for a healthy debate of ideas across the country — including a group of men who go by the name “Fearless Debaters.”

The men, clad in MAGA hats, set up debate tables on college campuses and invite those who disagree to have a conversation with them.

However, when they set up shop at Tennessee State University, they were met with very little peaceful debate and much more anger and childishness, as a group of black women descended upon their operation and began yelling and stealing their property.

But the college’s response didn’t address its students' behavior at all, but only the behavior of the white men in MAGA hats who attempted to have a conversation with the students.


“Today, a group of individuals unaffiliated with Tennessee State University appeared on campus without prior notice. In accordance with university policy, any demonstration or protest activity requires advance approval and permitting,” a statement from the university began.

“Campus police and staff responded promptly, and the individuals were escorted from university grounds without incident. At all times, TSU students conducted themselves in a professional and respectful manner,” the statement continued.

BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock is shocked, as the students were not conducting themselves in “a professional and respectful manner” by any means.

“These guys set up a table and put a sign in front of it and put a microphone for people to debate them the way Charlie Kirk, Steven Crowder, they do this at white college campuses all the time,” Whitlock says.

“This is commonplace. But I guess if you’re white and want to debate Tennessee State students, you need a written permission. You need legal authority to do that,” he continues, noting that TSU is a publicly funded university.

As for the students behaving “respectfully,” Whitlock calls it “an insanity and a delusion that permeates a matriarchal-controlled culture.”

“To argue that these kids — who are stealing things that aren’t theirs, knocking over things that aren’t theirs, flipping people off, giving them the bird, shouting them down — ‘they acted professionally at all times.’ Are you kidding me?” He asks.

A follow up statement called the “Fearless Debaters” a “hostile group” who had the intention of disrupting, demeaning, and inciting fear at TSU.

“These students are so weak, according to their leaders, that their psychological safety is violated when white people disagree with them,” Whitlock says.

“You can’t build a properly functioning, well-organized society based on the matriarchy, founded in the matriarchy. Doesn’t matter what color the matriarchy is; it’s the matriarchy. It’s going to lean into drama and chaos. It’s going to lean into feelings,” he adds.

‘Professional manipulator’: Why Jimmy Kimmel’s apology means nothing



Jimmy Kimmel kicked off his return to the air with an apology for his statements about Charlie Kirk, but not everyone is buying it.

“I do want to make something clear because it’s important to me as a human and that is you understand that it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man. I don’t think there’s anything funny about it. I posted a message on Instagram on the day he was killed sending love to his family and asking for compassion, and I meant it, and I still do,” Kimmel said.

“Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what was obviously a deeply disturbed individual. That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make. But I understand that to some, that felt either ill-timed or unclear or maybe both,” he continued.

“And for those who think I did point a finger, I get why you’re upset. If the situation was reversed, there’s a good chance I’d have felt the same way,” he said.


Kimmel continued to say that while we may not all “agree on politics,” the man who shot Charlie doesn’t represent anyone.

“This was a sick person who believed violence was a solution, and it isn’t,” he added.

While BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock says he buys Kimmel’s apology, BlazeTV contributor T.J. Moe couldn’t disagree more.

“What is wrong with you?” Moe asks a laughing Whitlock.

“I cannot judge this man’s heart. I’m going to have to judge his actions. Only God can know the heart. And I think in that apology, he covered the right things. And so I’m going to accept him at his words. And his voice cracked in a way that mine cracks whenever I get emotional,” Whitlock explains.

“He’s a good actor. He’s a great actor, Jason. He’s a wonderful actor. I will absolutely give you that,” Moe responds. “And I might buy it if I haven’t watched him do a version of this every time he wants you to feel sorry for him.”

“Every time he wants universal health care, he tells a story, and his voice cracks. Every time he wants something about immigration, he tells a story, and his voice cracks. OK?” he continues, adding, “He is a professional manipulator.”

And it appears T.J. Moe was right, as Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t finished with his “apology.”

Kimmel went on to say, “The president of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he can’t take a joke.”

“So this is where he loses me,” Whitlock admits. “He immediately goes on the offensive, and you know, when you apologize, you should be smothered in humility. It’s not time to go on an attack.”

BRAINWASHED Keith Olbermann attacks right-wing influencer



Former ESPN broadcaster Keith Olbermann is exhibiting what BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock calls “the worst case of Trump derangement we have in America.”

In response to a tweet from CNN’s Scott Jennings about late-night host Jimmy Kimmel and his anti-Charlie Kirk comments, Olbermann wrote in a now-deleted tweet, “You’re next, motherf***er.”

“But keep mugging to the camera,” he added in another tweet.

Jennings replied by tagging FBI Director Kash Patel, writing “Cc: @FBIDirectorKashPatel.”


“I don’t blame Scott Jennings, because Olbermann is setting a tone out there that, like, ‘Hey, Scott Jennings is worthy of death because I disagree with him because he’s conservative,’” Whitlock says.

“I didn’t think it could get any worse for Keith Olbermann, but it is,” he continues. “And he actually needs help. I mean real help. Someone needs to do a mental health check on Keith Olbermann and get him some additional help.”

BlazeTV contributor Steve Kim agrees, but is saddened by Olbermann’s fall from grace.

“I always thought, ‘Man, this is a highly intelligent individual,’” Kim says of growing up watching his career. “Now he’s just become deranged. And I don’t have an issue with his political beliefs.”

“I really don’t. We have to be honest about this. We’re not going to agree with everybody. But the extreme that he takes it now, to a point of, basically — I don’t even know if it’s a veiled threat,” he continues.

“It seemed like a threat, not from him, but almost an invitation for someone else to do it because you are talking about tone and tenor within our current climate in America. It’s almost like he’s saying, ‘Please, someone do this,’” he adds.
