Fearless with Jason Whitlock

September 25, 2026

Ben Crump’s rebuttal to the Mississippi grand jury and District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath sounded more like a minstrel act than a legal argument. Teenage gossip about “sketchy” men in boats became his theory of the case.

Having uncontrolled eosinophilic esophagitis or EOE can mean you're stuck in many ways, like cutting your food into tiny pieces, or stuck chewing food for a long time. Dupixant dupellumab, a prescription medicine for patients one year and older weighing at least 33 pounds can help with that. It's a breakthrough treatment that can reduce inflammation in the esophagus and improve swallowing.

How about this? Dupixant is not a steroid. It proactively treats EOE so you can get ahead of it.

SPEAKER_2 (0:34)

Severe allergic reactions, including skin reactions, can occur. Get help right away if you have trouble breathing or wheezing or swelling of your face, mouth, tongue or throat. Tell your doctor of new or worsening joint aches and pain or a parasitic infection or asthma. Don't change or stop other treatments without talking to your doctor.

Ben Crump's rebuttal to a Mississippi Grand Jury and District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath sounded like a minstrel comedy routine.

Crump delivered what he hoped is his closing argument in his Nolan Wells hoax yesterday.

The mumbling and bumbling race hustler stood before a handful of microphones and went full-blown Al Josen blackface. He defended and reiterated his hunt for truth, truth. A Jackson County Grand Jury looked at Nolan Wells and came back with no true bill. McIlrath put it on her record. The Crump team advised her office that they had no evidence of a crime against Nolan Wells. They never advised anything differently. He answered with a group chat. Take a listen.

Ben Crump (1:51)

The messages on his phone and the snaps will show some of his own friends were concerned about people on Horn Island can be racist.

That's his friends discussing that on snap. So, yeah, a lot of people were thinking about whether there was a racial component in this tragedy of Nolan Wells being unalived.

Jason Whitlock (2:33)

What is this idiot doing? Concerned, disgusting, can be. A kid typed a worry into a app built to vanish, and the lawyer held the printout like it was a confession.

Teenage gossip is now proof of murder.

He does not have a killer. He has a rumor with a time stamp. If the subject and verb don't fit, you must, can't, acquit, or something like that. This is dumb Ben Crump. He wants the implication. He will not carry the accusation. Watch.

Ben Crump (3:09)

And as we said, we don't know if it was racist or not.

Jason Whitlock (3:18)

We don't know if it was racist or not. He built a racial capes out of snaps and admitted, he does not know if race had anything to do with it. That is not law. That is a man talking himself into a theory and talking himself out of it in the same breath. He waved the papers and kept his hands clean. He mumbled snap like the syllable was evidence. He sent the district attorney two emails and selected a stack and called it a case.

If you cannot put the page on the camera where a man can read it, you do not have a receipt. You have a prop.

Then he put the raincoat on. He was not testifying. He was reading a teenager out loud, play the clip.

Ben Crump (4:04)

One of the snaps conversations talked about, do you all remember real sketchy looking guys behind us in two boats? I mean, like, yeah, that one that looked like, and I won't say the name, maybe. Apparently, the guy was real skinny. The ones that were right behind us. Yes. Yes.

One was black and one was white. Well, those guys were apparently like felons or something. At least one of them.

And they were there when we were all gone, I think.

Jason Whitlock (4:58)

What is this clown doing? Seriously. This is nuts. The dude can barely read.

Sketchy guys apparently or something. Crump read the doubt and sold the suspicion. Two sketchy men in two boats. That is not an investigation. That is a teenager playing detective in a chat that was supposed to disappear.

Ben Crump is low IQ Columbo masquerading as low IQ Johnny Cochran.

The rhyme is a reach. Cochran had a glove. Crump has a vanishing message and a cough between the setup and the punch line.

Ben Crump, I figured it out, he's Black Barney Fife, explaining a murder mystery to Andy Griffith, except Andy is not in the room and the bullet is still in Barney's pocket. Fife knew he was Fife. Crump thinks the podium makes him Johnny Cochran. That's the sitcom, the hunt for truth. The hunt for truth, a handful of microphones, a mumble of snap, a sketchy man in a boat who is apparently a felon or something. We hope this was the closing argument in the Nolan Wells hoax. McIlrath answered the same afternoon. Notate, read it or put it on a graphic. She said, they chose to grandstand. She asked which snap he claims is tied to the death and what witness on that phone supports what he keeps claiming. The deletion his expert described, she said, came from other snapchat users, not a hand on Nolan's phone. Crump turned grieving parents into grieving grifters. He made them jokes. He convinced Nolan Wells' parents that there was a pot of gold at the end of an accidental drowning. The grand jury would not indict. McIlrath said his own team or her own team told her, no, his own team told her they had no evidence of a crime. Crump kept the microphone and he put those parents on the stage with him. Black Barney Five, the dumbest lawyer in the history of American culture. Please, someone make a comedy sitcom show about Ben Crump and the hunt for Troof.
