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

We're getting into the week. You can tell perhaps I'm sitting in a different spot. My tone is a little bit different. This show today show is going to be a struggle for me.

This issue that has rocked Nashville and rocked the nation has shaken me. And for a variety of reasons that I'll get into today and hopefully we'll be joined by some people that will help me get through the show.

The show Delano Squires will be here. I believe Sarah Gonzalez of the blaze will be here. I'm not sure did we confirm. Help me out here guys. Did we confirm with Glenback is Glenback coming on. I'm hoping we're going to have oh, Glen's not going to be here. So Delano and Sarah Gonzalez will be here to help me talk about this issue. Delano obviously. Fearless soldier will be smart on this topic. Sarah Gonzalez.

Out in Dallas on the front lines of of this issue she's been involved in this part of the culture war. Tintos down. Feeding the ground confronting people with drag shows and as you guys know.

A person who identifies themselves as transgender. Shot up a Christian school. And here in Nashville and Green Hills in an area where I go to the shopping mall. I go to movies at Green Hills 15 minutes probably from where I live.

I'm a covenant school is for K through I believe six graders small little school on church property.

200 students and a person by the name of Audrey Hale. Well, I believe change their name to Aiden. Use the pronouns he him.

I went into the school and shot three nine year olds and killed three nine year olds plus three adults killed the headmaster of the school lovely woman.

And three kids and we were going to talk about some sports stuff for whatever but just the more I thought we were going to talk about this obviously and bring on Steve Kim and Jason Brown and talk about some sports stuff but I didn't want to clutter the show up.

I think it's too serious. It's too close to me. Not to address it in full and just leave it alone. And so this will be our only topic. I hope that I can have this discussion without getting super emotional. I'll tell you as I thought about it last night as I thought about it this morning. I was very emotional.

But if you understand anything about me the only thing that really really gets me are kids in terms of like when bad things happen to kids I get upset when when when grown people die adults particularly if you live the full life.

It's just not it's not that I don't care but I just don't get all that emotional about older people that die. They had a shot. They got to do life that they and they got to do it here in America with all this freedom and opportunity.

And so I don't tend to shed a lot of tears to get all that emotional. Regardless of how close I am to an older person that dies many of them have wonderful relationships or explored relationships with Jesus Christ and Saul Jesus Christ to the Lord and personal Savior.

And I believe authentically that they've gone on to a better place. But when when when when young people pass and particularly when children pass and they haven't had a chance to experience all that life has to offer it it it it really really bothers me.

And so the whole mission of fearless is is really about trying to produce take America back to a place where kids can experience what I experienced in my childhood and and that's despite being poor.

I had an awesome childhood. I just all I remember are the good times. I all I remember is just thinking about America and that I could accomplish whatever I wanted in America and that I felt safe relatively.

And again that's despite being poor and that's despite you know living in some areas that wouldn't meet a lot of people's definition of safe. But I always felt safe and protected and secure and and it feels like we're denying that to this new generation of young people.

And and it upsets me and so when I when I think about why left California in Los Angeles in 2020 and and chose to come here to move here to Nashville a lot of people thought I was crazy a lot of people what you don't have to do that you can do the outkick thing and do it from California but I wanted to get out of California I wanted to get out of what I thought was in California.

I was in an area of the country that didn't reflect firstly any of my values and and Nashville seemed perfect to me from afar close to my mom close to my brother and sister in an area that Nashville's fun and and but I had no idea at the time that I was moving to

ground zero of a culture war that's going on in America and and this is ground zero this the transgender issue and the way that Matt Walsh and the daily wire have attacked that issue with Matt Walsh did the documentary the movie what is a woman he's been doing work to get lost in the world.

To get lost change to protect children from these puberty blockers and surgeries that are being prescribed for kids before they they really need any of this or should be subjected to any of this Matt Walsh and the daily wire have made this area the country ground zero for the transgender battle.
