Summary
This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum cut through the media fog around Brett Favre’s testimony to Congress. No, he was not summoned to Congress to testify about his Parkinson’s diagnosis, as the headlines might have you believe (we wish him the best). In fact, he was there to explain his alleged misuse of welfare funds. While Mississippi failed to provide TANF benefits (AKA welfare) to its poorest residents, Favre managed to receive funding for speeches, volleyball stadium, and a startup from the same pool of funding. While he has yet to be punished, the woman who broke the story is facing JAIL TIME!
In even more somber news, the hosts reflect on the state-sponsored lynching of inmate Marcellus Williams. In the lead up to his execution, the victim’s family members, the non-profit group The Innocence Project, and even local prosecutors pleaded for a stay of execution, but the state of Missouri killed him anyway. This is America y’all, our hearts go out to the families.
Check out The Innocence Project at innocenceproject.org and help them in their mission to prevent wrongful convictions.
And we close the show with a heated discussion sparked by Whoopi Goldberg’s defense of Janet Jackson, after she made false comments about Kamala Harris’s ethnicity. Should celebrities be commenting on current events, and how do they do so responsibly? Our hosts offer differing opinions.
And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFam listeners. If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/
We are 40 days away from the election. Welcome home, y’all!
