The Corporation for Public Broadcasting's funding has been cut by the Trump administration. This, of course, was laid out in Project 2025 by Russel Vought, one of its key architects. He's now the head of Trump's Office of Management and Budget. His office made the decision to retract already-allocated funds that were earmarked for CPB, which is why they're shutting down at the end of this year.

Y'all remember when Trump said he knew nothing about Project 2025? Yeah, me too.

In this episode, I’m diving into the viral TikTok trend “Are Gingers Black?” with my brother-in-law of almost 30 years, CE Spaulding who is himself a "Ginger." 

We talk about why some white redheads feel marginalized, why some are longing for an invitation to “the cookout,” and what it really means when white folks seek validation in Black spaces. CE brings his unique perspective on whiteness, outsider identity, and the complicated quest for acceptance.

Is this trend harmless fun or a deeper reflection of racial dynamics online? Tap in and let’s talk about it.

Elon Musk has long been celebrated as a tech visionary and entrepreneur, but his recent foray into American politics is raising serious questions—and red flags. With his growing influence over President-Elect Donald Trump and ensuing cabinet position, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

In this episode, we take a hard look at:

Musk’s background and the evolution of his public persona.
The burgeoning White Supremacist philosophies emerging in his rhetoric and behavior.
The potential dangers of his ideologies taking root in the highest levels of government.
As Musk positions himself as a political power broker, we explore the implications for democracy, civil rights, and America’s future. Could this signal the start of a darker chapter in the nation’s history?
