Summary

Just in time for the tip-off of the 2022 NBA playoffs, the league found its way back onto state-run television in China. Coincidence? Likely not, according to a report from ESPN — yes, that ESPN. Jason and “Fearless” contributor Steve Kim discuss the impact of the billions of dollars NBA owners have invested in the communist economy and the ripple effect it’s had among the game’s social justice warriors. Move over Charles Barkley, Patrick Beverley may have turned a guest spot on “Get Up” into a leg up on a new career. Jason and Steve discuss if a role player could actually dethrone Sir Charles as the king of unfiltered NBA commentary. Speaking of royalty, the eldest prince of the LeBron James clan, Bronny, became a target on social media after the Twitterverse discovered his prom date was white. Jason asks Steve and wardrobe wizard Troy McSwain who’s really to blame for the attacks: keyboard trolls, or LeBron for presenting his family to the world as celebrities. Then, former United States Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos joins Jason to discuss her upcoming book, “Hostages No More.” Together they discuss the damaging effects of critical race theory and how COVID exposed just how deep the progressives’ infiltration of the education system reaches.
