Roy Wood Jr. Breaks Down Clarence Thomas’s Secret Luxury Gifts | Jerry Craft

hell you think you're coming to sit? We got a great show for you tonight. So let's get into the headlines. Okay, there is so much going on right now, so much going on this week. Chicago has a new mayor. RFK Junior is running for president, and the Tampa Bay Rays are undefeated. The Tampa Bay Rais. You know, we're good for the Rais. You know they pay their players in Burger King, you know that. But if it's one thing

I love more than baseball, it's food. And if there's one thing I love more than food, it's food lawsuits. This morning, it's a battle of the bowls. Chipotle Mexican Grill filing a lawsuit in California against salad chains Sweet Green, alleging Sweet Green's new Chipotle Chicken Burrito bowl violates Chipotle's

trademark rights. Chipotle claiming Sweet Greens very similar and directly competitive bowl is an attempt to capitalize on their brand, arguing the competitor's ad uses the same font and style as Chipotle's branding and features a similar color to their trademarked adobo red. Chipotle says Sweet Green should change the name of its new bowl by one putting the word Chipotle in lowercase and renaming it as a chicken bowl

with Chipotle. That's right, that's right. The two why doest restaurants in America are fighting over who gets to use a Mexican word? And honestly, honestly, what the hell is Chipotle mad about? You named yourself after the season that's on you playboyd. Honestly, both both both of these companies need to get sued just for using the word burrito bold. If it ain't wrapped up, it ain't a burrito. Stop stop it. It's just shit in a bowl. You're putting shit in a bowl, and you go old, this is

all burrito bowld bitch, that's dry chili. Would you like to try out all new PEB and J sandwich bowl? Sorry? Did I say I want it? Plut I'm not going to score. I wanted a sandwich. Moving on to a big story today, one of America's Supreme Court justices is

in a major corruption scandal. And you'll never guess who. Okay, it's Clarence Thomas, but you'll never guess what a simply blockbuster bombshell report get this Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas did not disclose luxury trips around the world worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Pro Publica says Justice Thoms has for years accepted free charter jet flights and stays on a yacht and luxury resorts from real estate developer Harlan Crowe.

Crowe is a conservative mega downer. Crow tells Pro Publica he's never tried to influence the Justice on legal or political issues. Oh yeah, yeah, sure, I'm sure. No, no, hang on, no, no, I'm sure this billionaire Republican didn't want to influence nobody. He just no, no, he no, he just wanted to go on vacation with Clarence Thomas. You know, because we all know that Clarence Thomas is clearly a bag of fun. Just go straight up. Who wouldn't want to pull up a Miami beach with old CQ.

Come on, Clarence, we're doing to quala shot. Clarence love tequila shot. I don't know if I made him sound like sling Blazey. Here's my question. If you're gonna buy a Supreme Court justice, why would you spend all that money on luxury dots and planes for Clarence Thomas? Who could have bought Brett cavan Off for a bottle of Yaga and a Southwolk Ballhaus better game bull will beat.

Let's move on to Sports Now. Earlier this week we told you how LSU beat Iowa and the women's NCAA basketball championship, and there was some epic trash talk this week between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. And temperance have been bubbling all week, but finally, finally a piece of maker has emerged. Did First Lady Jill Biden get so excited about the women's basketball championship game she put her foot in her mouth as she celebrated ls USED victory

over Iowa. Doctor Jill suggested both teams come to the White House. So I know we'll have the champions come to the White House. We always do, so you know we'll have LSU come. But you know what I'm gonna tell Joe, I think where should come to because they played such a good game. Yes, yes, No, you're wrong. She's talking about peace and unity, y'all. Why shouldn't the losers be standing proud with the winners? Come on, Joe, Jill Biden, you're trying to turn the White House into

a participation trophy. Nobody likes participation trophies. Even the kids don't like participation trophies. Nobody, Nobody's ever came home after school after the big game with a trophy like Yo. Check it out. I struck out twelve times from more on this story returned to Desi light a, DESI, how you been feel No, Desi, We've been talking about the story around the building all week, and I know you'll

agree with me. The whole thing, the whole thing on this issue comes down to one word, and that word is racism. I'm sorry, but you think you think this is racism, Roy, I know racism when I see it and this is textbook racism. A mostly white team getting an invite to the White House for losing is white privilege at its most insidious. If I may quote Malcolm X, no no, no, no, no, no, you may not you may not quote malcolmatic got it. I hear what you're saying, Daisy,

But this is clearly sexism. This this offered that this would have never happened in men's sports, but women are expected to get along and to share the prize simply because they're women. If I could quote the Great Glorious Steinhum, you know, look, Roy, it is racist to honor white losers the same as black winners. Trust me, I have a unique perspective on race as a person talking to a black man. Right now, does he? Let me explain to you how internalized sexism works. Let me explain sexism. Two.

Doctor Jill Biden treated these adult women like a bunch of high schoolers who all had to be invited to the slumber party. No matter what, it's not what you do. And I know what I'm talking about because I watch Handmaiden's Tale A couple of seasons. That's the name of reason Handmaids A handmaidens tale which one is the thing? I don't know. I only watch Atlanta. Look whether it's racism or sexism, and it's racism. I think we can both agree on two things. One, I know all the

lyrics to gainst his paradise. And two, this was Aunt Jill Biden's finest moment. Yes, doctor Jill Biden, Doctor Jill Biden made a mistake. Maybe next year the White House should have Vice President Kamala Harris extend to invite you know, another strong woman, a strong black woman who made us her story. Not to mention she knows how to kick it at the cookout. No, I mean that's right, girl boss, Yeah, yeah it all. Don't you ready to get everybody for all? Right?

When we go back, we'll talk about by Carla because got to go, so don't go away. Welcome back to the Goalie Show. Now, don you remember back in the day, I've been Back in the day, you'd be watching TV, flipping the channels, and then you'd see an ad for one of those for profit colleges, be something dude in a T shirt in the parking lot telling you to get your shit together. First off, how are you gonna

tell me to get my shit together. Your shirt ain't even got a collar, or worse, they'd level up after a little while and getting Master P's son to wrap to us about education, Say I c DC college. I c DC college, Say I c d C. I'm so I c DC hollegue. Do you like reading and shit? I think that's the first time Ade lost a rap battle to himself. But the thing is, people who graduated from these for profit schools are often drowned in debt

or end up with a degree that nobody respects. The fact is, if you want a degree somebody respects, oh, you gotta get you one at ease. Baby. This is my actual college degree broadcasting journalism and bitches from a four year institute Florida and four year institutes another that clarking lot bullshit cost me about sixty thousand dollars should have been forty five thousand, but I flunked a year school because I'd skipped school during midterms to open for

Tommy David's in True Story. And you know what I love? This is this thing I love about college degrees. You ever noticed when you get a college degree, your parents always want you to take a picture with them. They'd be cheese and super. Look at my mama. Look at my mama. My mama's smiling harder than me. You know, she's been in higher education for almost four decades, so you know she's happy about the degree. And I'm smiling too. To be fair, I'm smiling. But the only reason I'm

a smiling because I ain't seen the voice. Shit. But now the once exalted four year college degree is starting to feel a lot like the parking lot of education. It's no wonder that people are starting to doubt the whole thing. More and more Americans are asking themselves it is a college degree still worth it? For high school senior Rains Lucas, his biggest challenge isn't getting into his

dream schools, it's paying for them. It's just not sensible to go somewhere and take on hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. Many top executives are questioning the purpose of a college degree, including Elon Musk. There's no need even to have a color's degree at all. Listen, you know it's bad when the dude who bought Twitter says college is a bad investment. That's one or more ticket service quot unquote gree Oh yeah, that the whole

old joke. Now, we've talked about abolishing the police and abolishing prisons, but I think it's time to ask an honest question. Is it time to abolish college? We'll try to answer it in another installment of Long Story Short. There are a lot of problems with college. We can just stayed that off the top. There's a lot of

problems with college. You've got annoying roommates, you got unfair professors. Sometimes, after a night of underaged drinking, a bunch of Jamaican nightclub owners decided to pull a gun on You have to a small disagreement over a cover charge to get in their establishment. Also a true story. But one of the main problems in recent years is that college has gotten way too expensive. From the time Prince had his ass cheeks out until when Megan the Stallion had her

ass cheeks out, it's just about forty years. The average cost of a college education has risen nearly five hundred percent. It's gotten so expensive that American kids need to flee the country just to get an education. With tuition prices soaring at home, American students are flocking to Europe for cheaper college options. There are at least forty four schools across Europe where Americans can earn their bachelor's degree for free. All public colleges in Germany, Iceland, Norway and Finland are

free for residents and international students. How crazy is it that studying abroad? Studying abroad that used to be for rich kids. That was for pretentious rich people. Now if you a ballor you need to go to school in America, Oh, you studied in Berlin, You broke bitch. I went to the Ohio State University. That's meek caveaf Well, it's bad enough that these degrees are so expensive, but what makes it worse is that they're not necessarily preparing you to

earn the money back. Just one out of ten business leaders even believes that college graduates have the skills needed to work in their workplaces. And employers aren't the only ones questioning what colleges are teaching, so are the graduates themselves. Every wish you'd picked a different major back in college, turns out nearly two of every five American college grads regret the choice they made. Liberal arts majors are the

most likely to harbor that deep regret. Nearly half of them say they wish they'd picked another field of study. The most regretted major journalism. Mother, don't do that on my pain. Come back up to my face. I have no regrets about going to the school and paying money to learn journalism just to get on TV to play effect journalists. I have no regrets. I did real work. I did real journalists. Shaw, I'm shaw them to work.

Hospital supposed to person. Brook Will's the climent speaker at Favente forty six on camera about the events that led up to the hospitals and prompt to inspection from APTA. You're telling me that wasn't real journalism. That was hard hitting journalism in my daddy's suit. The point is at the dig in the closet for the VHS to find them. The point is many college degrees aren't even setting you up for a career now. Now. Back in the day, it didn't really matter that much because just having a

degree made you special. In nineteen sixty, around eight percent of the population had a bachelor's degree, but today that numbers around forty percent. Having a college degree now is like having a keyless entry in your car. Everybody got it everybody came. But in nineteen eighty seven you was the man. You had keyless entry in any something. What you just did my car? Do it again? Oh shit, you the devil. That's magic. So here's where we are. People.

We got people spending more money than ever to get a degree that means less than ever, which has left people looking for alternatives. Some people are taking apprenticeships, some people are taking classes online, and some employers are saying, hell, we'll just training ourselves. In fact, Google has a fifty dollar a month education service that they've used to place over seventy five thousand people into jobs at over one hundred and fifty different companies, jobs that Google will soon

replace with AI. But that's not the point. It's a long story short. College is too expensive. It doesn't help you get a job. You can learn the same stuff on a computer or an Iceland or Berlin. Half the employers will train you for free. This ship is the biggest scam than bitcoin. We should abolish college. We got the abolished college. Man ain't messing around with Tom. Hey, Mama, yes, ma'am, I know you've been in high education for forty years. Mama, I know you march you told me the starts. I

know you might. Yes, I'll put the diploma back on the wall. Yet I won't talk bad about college. Yes, okay, side note, college is necessary. It broadened your horizons, and in spite of its call Sig'm an absolutely better man because of the degree and the invaluable lifelong friendships I made along the way. I so, so, maybe maybe we don't have to abolish college, but we need to find

a way for its benefits to outweigh its costs. Because if a four year degree is gonna leave you with crippling debt and people not respecting the degree, then maybe we all old parking lot t shirt man an apology because it seems like we're all victims of for profit education. Stay tuned when we come back. Author Jerry Kraft will be joining me on the show. But don't go along. I'm gonna pretend you right on this paper. Well, yeah, welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight was

a New York Times bookselling author and illustrators. Because new book is called School Trip, please welcome Jerry Kraft. Yeah, brother crap, brother krap. Yes, first off, shots out to the tie. I see what you're doing. With the tie, got the little got some of them black peanut kid. Yeah, I had to preserve Franklin here. What did you read growing up? I'm always interested about that with authors, like

what got you into the habit of reading? Like, because I was assigned a lot of books in school that I feel like I shouldn't have been reading. It was like they wolf call it a wild Tom said, just white people running and didn't see yourself in that? You know, I didn't know. I did not see myself in those books. No, I went from Doctor Seuss to Marvel comics to nothing. I hated to read. Reading was a punishment for me.

And it's the same thing. I didn't see myself when am I going to read Tom Sawyer Huck Finn Like? That wasn't me? I mean, but Tom Sawyer had to end word in it. So representation, right, So we got some representation. It was a great representation, but we got representation. So then if Marvel comics and comic books activated your curiosity for literacy, what is it about graphic novels that

we can do to help that with today's children. The first thing I think we have to explain to some people is the term graphic novel does not mean a novel with graphic content, and that you think that's not real. But there are people that think that. So they're like, I don't want my kid to read the graphic novel. It's a novel graphic content. And they're like, no, that's not what it is. So we might have to change at just a big old comic book. That might make

it a little a little better. I think with some of the education rates in this country, that's probably a good idea. Brother. Now, this book that you have school trips, wonderful wonderful books about you know, black child out there doing this thing. It's been banned in a bunch of places. First off, congratulations on being banned. Thank you revelation. I

know that must feel awful. I know that as a terrible feeling to write a book and then somebody go, oh, your book is too good, we can't let nobody read it. What was your thoughts and feelings when you first found out about that. I was disappointed. I was sad for the kids because so this book, this is my first book, new Kid. It's the first graphic novel, only graphic novel

ever to win the Newberry Medal. All right. It was the second book to when the Newberry and the credit Scott King, all right, and the only book ever to win those two in the Kirkus Prize. Right, So not the only black book, the only book, not the only black book. So then how do we get to that place? How do we go from a book the same character in both books? This is the third book with this character, so the first book award award, award this book. People

go crt, Right, how is that classification even fair? With the literature that you've been creating? Fair? You are funny? Fair? I mean, like that's that's the point of it. You know. It's like from a kid who hated to read and was told that comics would wrote his brain to grow up, you know, born in Harlem, grew up in Washington Heights, and to have this book, which should be an after school special. My life should be the after school special. A reluctant reader who grows up to I mean, there's

a movie in the works with this book. Okay, do you have do you have a producing partner? I know how to read. I like reading. Good money. They we'll talk about that other but like thirteen different languages so they can read it in Albanian, Romanian, Greek. They just can't read it in Texas. Fool. Now the book is about. This book's school trip is about, you know, some kids who decide to travel over to France and they take

a school trip. Now, as a product of Birmingham Public schools, I couldnot relate to traveling out of the country at any point, Like there was no international field trips. Like like in Alabama, you go to three places, you go to civil rights. They take it down to Montgomery to see where they don't pass laws that help civil rights. Right, and then they let you visit a cave. Right, that's it the sod. Okay, it's a nice cave. But where

where have you traveled? Like? Because to be able to write about children traveling beyond the horizon, what were your travels like in your journeys as a child. As a child, it was all local stuff that my dad and I used to go when I graduated from college, which I know you're trying to ban, but for those of you you know it, you know it was because it was Cooper, No,

it was. It was good for me. So when I graduated from college, my dad took me to Bahamas, and it was seventy years old, his first time on the plane right, because we didn't think that we could travel right. And then we went every year to a different place for twenty years. When my son's graduated from college, I took them to Paris, because again, you don't think that

you can do those things right. And so I make the books that I wish that I had when I was a kid, That makes kids reader, that gives them hope because you don't even know the things that you can hope for, right and that. So so I read a review online. They tell me not to be reviews, but I did anyway, and this woman literally wrote, I'm not sure if my largely poor, largely African American students will be able to relate to this book. So I'm like,

but a kid. You're saying, a kid can relate to a kid who goes to Wizard school, flies on a broom and waves a wand but you can't pitch to these black kids going to Paris, So you're not going to let them see the book. That's worse than being banned. How do we get people also to understand because to me, the issue with CRT as well, I think it's been twisted into this idea that these are black authors writing

about black stuff, specifically for black people. How do we get people to also understand that these books are for everyone to read. It's not about some sort of colored only section on a bookshelf. These books are about the human experience. So how will we be able to get more people to understand that there's a kid I just saw this on TikTok so it's a ninth grader. Right, nine year old third grader in Escambia County, Florida, goes

up in front of a school board. Right, he should be home playing Xbox right in front of a school board. Talking about this book, he says, this book was a good reminder that we are all equal and we should treat people with kindness and respect because you never know what someone is going through. Thank you for everything that you're DoD So Traff, you appreciate your brother. The book a full trip. It's avaulable. Now we're gonna take a

quick break. We'll be right back after this. Well, that's our show for tonight, and that's my time as host. But stay tuned because your next guest host starts April seventeenth.
