The Breakdown with Shaun King

Yesterday, almost like a trained actor, Joe Biden looked at the cameras, and said "never in his life," did he think he would see videos and photos of Palestinians behead Israeli babies. And then feigned being traumatized. Only for The White House to admit just a few hours later that he made all of that up. He never saw any such photos or videos. This is SO DANGEROUS.

Let me unpack and explain it.

Hey everyone, It's Shaun here, and today we are bringing you The Momentum Advisor's latest podcast episode. It is a personal story that's close to our hearts.

Homecoming for Allan and Tiffany looked very different this year as their alma mater experienced a violent shooting on campus and therefore all Homecoming festivities were cancelled for the first time in over 100 years. This episode talks about what was NOT cancelled! Including the opening of our new business on Morgan State University's campus and all the trials and hiccups that tried to prevent us from remaining #MorganStrong. This is a very special episode and we hope you take a listen.

Hey everyone, it's Shaun here, and today we're bringing you a throwback episode of The Momentum Advisors Show. This one originally aired on August 20th, and it's all about a place with a rich history and a unique spirit—Martha's Vineyard.

Now, Martha's Vineyard holds a special place in many hearts, especially in the Black community. It's a place known for its rich Black history, and it's often celebrated as 'for us, by us.' But there's so much more to Martha's Vineyard than meets the eye.

In this episode, The Momentum Advisors take us on a journey through the island's history, its thriving entrepreneurship, and the wealth that's both generated and celebrated there. It's a deep dive into a place that holds a unique space in the tapestry of Black culture in America.

So, whether you're familiar with Martha's Vineyard or just curious to learn more, this episode has something special in store for you. Tune in and let's explore the history and prosperity of Martha's Vineyard together.

You may have seen the viral video of the young rapper, Sexxy Red, saying how much she loves Donald Trump and wants to see him back in office. It's all over my timelines, and about 85% of the responses I see are HARSH, 5% are celebratory, and the remaining people are trying to make a point that I hope to make today.

At least try to learn something from her. Because A LOT of people feel just like she does.

You've heard me say this before, but it's VERY hard to know a moment in history when you are living in it. Well, we continue to live in a very peculiar and disturbing time in American history - in the shadows of thousands of people trying to overthrow the American government, Republicans have now cannibalized one of their own, and voted out their own Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy.

That has never happened before. And for the next week, or longer, the United States Congress won't even have a Speaker of the House because Republicans, who control the House, don't even have enough votes to select a replacement. It's just another clue at how unstable this place truly is.

Let me unpack and explain it.

Last night I learned something truly preposterous. Tennessee State University, which is one of the most important Black colleges in America, is owed $2.1 BILLION by the state and federal government after a federal research project determined they, and other Black colleges, were systemically underfunded for years. This is the literal definition of systemic racism.

Today I want to unpack this story and also talk about what we can learn from the bigoted members of Congress that are about to shut the government down.

Just last month, Philadelphia Police Officer Mark Dial brutally shot and killed a young man who was sitting in his parked car. And to cover it all up, the cops lied and said that the victim, 27 year old Eddie Irizarry, got out of his car and lunged at police with a knife - giving the city, and the nation the impression that the shooting was justified and in self-defense.

Except police made the entire story up. And it's all on film. In fact, Irizarry never even got out of his car. Never opened his door. Never rolled his window down. It was all a lie. Police, within 7 seconds of seeing the man, shot and killed him through his car window, then, according to hospital officials, abused his body afterwards.

Thankfully, Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner charged the cop with murder, in what every expert called a clear open and shut case. But yesterday, a judge did something that I've never seen in my life. They just canceled the entire case and said that no evidence existed for the charges.WTF? Like what are we even talking about here. The evidence is on video.

Let me unpack and explain it.
