I'm very happy that I brought you in as a partner because obviously we are killing it right now at outkick and I encourage all of you to go read every single day at outkick.

We're talking with Jason Whitlock here final hour Monday edition of the program in particular and that you've been doing this for years because you have ideas

and or metaphors that I hear and I'm like well damn that's 100% right. So we finished off hour two with you saying basically the NBA bubble is a China situation brought to the United States where the media that's inside the bubble.

The NBA media that is a sensibly free to ask and say anything that they believe has not yet been willing to bring up the China issue with any of the players yet they or coaches or executives yet they are at all times grilling the players executives and and referees and everything else about their stances on political related issues and I shouldn't say grilling they're basically tossing up softballs at time after time after time as long as you're doing it.

I'm not going to say anything as long as you agree with them. One of the things that scares me Jason Whitlock is the idea that we have created a sports media which is not advancing the cause of the first amendment anymore it is policing opinions and determining whether you are on quote unquote the right side of virtually every issue.

So basically the goal of journalist is to report the news not make it and certainly not police it has social media created a cottage industry of people now that work in our industry and basically go around checking to see and monitoring aggressively whether people have the quote unquote right opinion and how much is that changed from when you started in the industry.

It's been an incredible change since I started in the industry look my objectivity and my hey I don't know where Whitlock is going to come down on a particular issue gave me great value for the first 25 years of my career.

It's now him strongly in terms of because what is promoted what is rewarded is someone who's very reliable they're going to stop come that whatever group think is popular on Twitter that journalist is going to be on the right side of that issue and keep my media organization out of that controversy and just agree with social media.

What it is done there's just been a slow process of getting Americans used to communist values and that's why I just keep put this NBA bubble situation is what America's going to look like if we keep going down this path the people that are out of the street that want to overthrow everything about the United States.

Let's tear down all our founding fathers the Constitution and BS everything's BS to America and in order to have equality we have to embrace these values and those values are going to look like the NBA bubble where the media is on the side of the establishment and the elites and the media is running around right now doing the business.

Doing the bidding of Adam silver the bronze aims and the power structure of the NBA afraid and just a five if I were in that bubble and my job dependent upon staying on the right side of those athletes I might be fearful of asking them any questions that make them uncomfortable I might be most aggressive with the handful of people who aren't doing with the rest of the NBA is doing.

And that's bowing down the black lives matter and so that's why Jonathan is my my my my myers litter they're going to get the most aggressive questions because they broken rank from everybody that's being obedient to black lives matter and what the corporate structure demanding and they're trying to whip those guys in the line you guys the odd balls you guys are the people that you know aren't supporting what's right.

Blah blah blah but it's all in service to the power structure and the voiceless and again the voiceless right now as it relates to what's going on with all this kneeling during the national anthem and black lives matter the voiceless are actually the people that disagree with this movement no one within inside that media bubble that the NBA has going on.

Once to speak for those of us that are like hey man we think this is crazy we don't think this is a promotion of equality unity or values that are healthy for America there's no journalist loose in that bubble who can go out and ask those questions and be a voice for the voiceless in order to be in that bubble and to be in it comfortably you have to represent the views of corporate America.

Adam silver LeBron James in the power structure this a mental and we're taking the third year for no this is not the voice of this isn't an anti establishment movement it's a pro establishment movement it is corporate approved messaging it's pro establishment it's not revolutionary at all.

And I just I can't believe they're getting away with it but they are we've been dumb down to the point that they're getting away with this and people can't see what stand clear in the face the media is being shut down it is state sponsored media is straight propaganda it represents the power and the elite not the people.

Yeah and I talked about this in hour one Jason when I saw media members wanting to grill an NBA official for deciding to stand for the national anthem I don't know that we've and again that you said it well too but I just want to kind of crystallize it for everybody else out there the media is insisting upon conformity when it comes to political beliefs.

And I don't know that I have ever seen anything like this before where they are effectively policing the opinions of other people if they happen to be different and it used to be and you can speak to this and certainly it's what I studied when I was in law school the media was about protecting the first amendment and that eccentric out there who might have a wild idea the Larry flints of the world right go watch the people.

People versus Larry flint if you're listening to me right now and you're like man I wonder like what he harrelson played a pornographer who was furthering the first amendment by ridiculing people in positions of authority.

Now the media has shifted and they protect the powerful as long as they have to quote unquote right opinion it's it's wild to see and think about and people sometimes get riled up about me and they're like no you've changed I'm like no no no no I'm the guy who would have shown up and been defending Larry flint the pornographer for ridiculing I think it was Jerry fall well back in the day dub look up I can't remember you may remember Jason Whitlock about you know like a fair

fake ad satire hyperbole all of those things comedians like that's what I've always believed in and now that's becoming a really rare voice and that's why I think this show is exploding I think frankly it's why out kick is exploding we are the first amendment arm of the first amendment but outside of us it almost doesn't exist in sports media now.
