Summary

Whitlock welcomes former Iowa State Cyclone and Houston Rocket Royce White for an in-depth conversation about basketball, politics, and fake news. The hoopster-turned-political activist addresses the rumors that a fear of flying ended his NBA career. How did he come to be a friend and ally of Steve Bannon? Why is the rise of China — and the betrayals of LeBron James, Nike, and the NBA — one of White’s top issues? How does his opinion differ from Jason’s on George Floyd, Kyle Rittenhouse, and the Darrell Brooks vehicular murders at the Wisconsin holiday parade? What does the former #1 NBA pick think about the term “New World Order"? Save 20% on “Fearless” swag!

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to a special day before Thanksgiving edition of Fearless with Jason
0:26.2	Whitlock. I'm not going to waste a bunch of time promoting our next guest. I hope
0:33.5	that many of you guys heard him last Friday when he made his debut on Fearless.

1:12.2	understanding of who Royce is and how he came about his worldview and his
1:19.4	ability to articulate his worldview in such a clever manner. I read a piece
1:24.1	this weekend where Royce is a mentee. I think would be the proper description
1:31.3	of Steve Bannon, the guy who helped Trump get in the office, the guy that

2:13.3	I just want to say thank you to your audience first before we get started to
2:17.1	fear the summary man they've given me nothing but positive feedback over the last
