Ep. 827 - Who are REALLY the dangerous organizations in this moment we are in right now?

The past 24 hours in Gaza were absolutely atrocious. Every day is bad, but some days are horrible and other days are somehow even worse. Yesterday and last night were such moments.

Ep. 824 - Joe Biden should be charged with war crimes

Virtually every war crimes expert in the world now agrees that Israel is committing THOUSANDS of war crimes violations against Palestinians. I am posting these violations on my Instagram day and night. But what I need you to understand is that Joe Biden is also committing war crimes. And should be charged for them.

Ep. 823 - Some of the craziest few days of my life

The genocide of Palestinians from the hands and bombs of Israel and the United States is still fully in motion. Which makes me taking this episode to talk about myself frustrating, but for my own record, I must document what went down. I was the #1 trending topic in the United States after people first lied and said I took sole credit for freeing the American hostage, Natalie Raanan. That never happened. It's a complete fabrication. Quite the opposite, I said I was one of dozens of people that h...

Ep. 821 - Yesterday I was embarrassed to be an American

America is often a very embarrassing place to be from. And for me, yesterday was one of those days where our nation humiliated itself on the world stage when the United States was the ONLY nation in the world that voted against allowing humanitarian aid into Gaza for Palestinians. And then they vetoed it. Let me unpack and explain it.

Ep. 820 - The United Nations calls Israel's actions against Palestine "ethnic cleansing"

Right now, in real-time, we are witnessing ethnic cleansing unfold. We are already knew that this is what it was, but the world's experts all now agree - what Israel is doing to Palestine is ethnic cleansing, genocide, and Apartheid. The United Nations declared that it is an "ethnic cleansing emergency" this weekend. And the United States is funding it. And sending the bombs being used to slaughter women and children. It's disgusting. Let me unpack and explain it.To listen to today’s FULL EPISOD...

Ep. 818 = The White House admits Joe Biden is lying about Palestine

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.

A Homecoming Interrupted: Morgan State University

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.

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.'

Ep. 815 - Why you should learn from what Sexxy Red just said

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. Let me unpack and explain it. To listen to today’s FULL EPISODE of The Breakdown go now to A...

Ep. 814 - For the first time ever, the United States Congress has no Speaker of the House

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 ...

Ep. 813 - The government owes Tennessee State University an astounding $2.1 BILLION dollars

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 th...

Ep. 811 - Something happened in Philadelphia yesterday that I've never seen happen with a police brutality case in my entire life

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 hi...

Ep. 810 - Joe Biden is definitely going to be the Democratic nominee for President

Yes, Joe Biden is getting smashed by Donald Trump in several new polls. And yes, he called LL Cool J, who is 55 years old, a boy this weekend. But it's now abundantly clear to me that he is absolutely going to be the Democratic nominee. How do I know this? Staffers from the Democratic Party told me so. And they will abundantly clear and definitive. Let me unpack and explain it.

Ep. 808 - American cities are actually CAUSING anti-immigrant hate. And it was completely avoidable.

First off, Happy 22nd Anniversary to my dear wife, Rai. I love you honey. Secondly, I have to weigh in on how American cities are truly bungling the migrant crisis that's going down across the country. And by spending tens of millions of dollars, and in some cases hundreds of millions of dollars, to care for the migrants, while mistreating and abusing and cutting funds to basic services to your own citizens, it's sparking a deep anger that I am seeing almost daily from coast to coast. Chicago, w...

Ep. 806 - Even with the CROWN Act as law, Black students are STILL being punished for natural hair in Texas

Enough is enough. Outside of Dallas, the Barbers Hill School District has suspended a brilliant young man named Darry George, for week after week, because they say his beautiful natural hair style violates school rules. The wild thing is... it doesn't. And not only that, Texas passed a law called the CROWN Act, which prohibits discrimination against African Americans with natural hairstyles. But it's WILD that we even need such a law. Let me unpack and explain it. To listen to today’s FULL EPISO...

I've been watching football for 40 years. Never in my life have I seen an opposing coach be hated on and talked about like we have Coach Prime for the past 4 weeks. It's unprecedented.

Ep. 803 - CNN just made the mistake of a lifetime

It's unforgivable, really. Just days after a New York jury determined that Donald Trump sexually abused a woman - who happens to be a JOURNALIST - the network had Trump on for an open conversation - hosted by a conservative woman in front of a conservative audience. They had COUNTLESS chances to back out, but forged ahead and did it anyway - spitting in the face of decent people everywhere. Let me unpack and explain it.
