Summary

Outrage over the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, intensified after a video surfaced of police standing outside Robb Elementary School as distraught parents screamed for them to take action. Jason asks the question: If law enforcement botched the response to an active assassin running loose in a school, who’s to blame, the cops or the culture? “Fearless” contributor T.J. Moe believes that the cops’ inaction was a reaction to the emasculating environment cultivated in the Left’s vision of America. Jason’s argument is “that’s what pro-choice America looks like.” Former Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams has changed his name, adopting the maiden name of his wife, all in the name of astrology and equity. Shemeka Michelle believes the Texas Longhorns great is now truly a steer after fumbling the ball, and not the sporting variety. Then, “Professor D,” Delano Squires, joins the show to discuss his latest column at TheBlaze on the vision of a post-liberty America and how right John Adams was about this experiment of a representative democracy.  ​​Today's Sponsor: Two pounds of Free Wagyu Burgers and ZERO inflation?

I think that the holidays feel like frozen noses. I love walking with the dog for long periods of time.

0:10.0

Hopefully it's snowing and you've got to wrap up warm. So I think a frozen nose is a sweaty armpit

0:15.0

because your wrapped up so warm but then you're climbing hamps and heath and you get to the top

Welcome to Fearless with Jason Whitlock. I am Jason Whitlock, your host. Happy Friday to you and yours.

0:56.0

Of course we made it through another week, the weekends here. Awesome. Fantastic show plan for you today.

1:03.0

TJ Moe, Shemekam-Mashel, Delano Squires will be here. We will stay on the topic of the week, the Yavaldi Massacre, 19 school children, two teachers, two adults killed, the shooter also killed.

1:20.0

Everybody has been Monday morning quarterbacking what happened in Yavaldi and we're going to do a little bit of it here today.

1:32.0

I'm going to try to steer the conversation away from demonizing the police but others may disagree with me.

1:40.0

TJ Moe made this agree with me and that's perfectly fine but there's a debate about who's responsible for a level of cowardice that we saw in reaction to the shooter.

1:59.0

Did that cowardice contribute to the death of some of these 19 children and two adults that were killed? When you think about this thing took an hour and some people say, oh well, the shooting was in the first 10 minutes.

2:16.0

Well, I made these people or kids adults could have been saved if it wasn't an hour for them to bleed out if they had gotten help much sooner.

2:29.0

I do think there tends to be a level of consensus that this thing was mishandled perhaps by police but there's a debate about who's most responsible, the culture we've created or cops, culture or cops.

2:52.0

We're starting to get some clues and more evidence and more information so that we can make a more informed opinion decision about where the blame goes.

3:07.0

But I think most of you have seen by now the video footage I think we played some yesterday will play it again today let's start playing I'm just going to talk over it of the chaos outside the school.

3:22.0

The screams of mothers and parents allegations that women mothers, grandmothers were handcuffed men were tazered by police as they protected the perimeter.

3:37.0

This is why the killer is still inside allegedly alive and parents are begging the police to go inside and stop the killer and protect their kids.

3:52.0

This video that really doesn't have any context paints a really bad picture of police and how this was handled. Again, it's my contention that police law enforcement first responders American culture has moved in such a horribly negative direction and in such a demonizing direction towards law enforcement.

4:21.0

Or any authority that we haven't placed police officers first responders in the proper culture for them to do what comes natural primarily to men, the protection of women and children.

4:39.0

And so that what we saw the screams the chaos the desperation I think we all agree it's a horrible look I can tell it's a manifestation and a ramification of a cowardly culture that we have built in an environment that we have built for law enforcement where everything about them gets second guest.

5:08.0

And they've become the bad guys and the bad guys have become the good guys and we must bend over backwards to protect and create a safe space for every criminal that hops out of his car and wants to second guess why he got pulled over to every criminal that wants to resist the rest for 20 or 30 minutes.
