What do you do when someone believes you shouldn't exist? Daryl Davis didn't protest. He didn't shout. He sat down, asked questions, and kept showing up. Over decades, that approach has led more than 200 Ku Klux Klan members and white supremacists to walk away from their robes for good. In this conversation, Davis explains why people radicalize, and what happens psychologically when prejudice collides with a real human being. He shares stories from inside Klan meetings, lessons learned from neo-Nazis, and why today's climate of polarization may actually be an opportunity rather than a dead end. Daryl Davis earned his Bachelor of Music degree from Howard University and an Honorary Doctorate in Humane Letters from Post University. He is the author of Klan-Destine Relationships and the subject of the multi-award-winning documentary Accidental Courtesy, which chronicles his work in race reconciliation. A lifelong musician, he has performed with Chuck Berry and President Bill Clinton, and as an actor appeared in HBO's The Wire.

Okay family, pull up a chair because we need to talk. Washington State recently became the third state in America to fund a reparations study for African Americans, and it should be a moment to celebrate. The Legislature allocated $300,000 in seed funding, and the Washington Equity Now Alliance — a community-based organization doing the real work — raised another $450,000 to ensure this sacred study is done right. Governor Ferguson signed the law that spells out who’s qualified to lead the study: a PhD focused on reparations, peer-reviewed publications, expertise in calculating uncompensated slave labor, and lived experience. So far, so good, right? But here’s where it gets messy. The Department of Commerce is creating its own procurement rules, and its decisions are now preventing the community from securing qualified consultants for this work. Somehow, an “apparent successful bidder” has been named – a company called Truclusion that doesn’t appear to meet ANY of the legal requirements got through the procurement process — while the nation’s leading reparations scholar, an UCLA endowed chair and Howard University department head who literally wrote a BOOK on Reparations, was denied due process on a technicality when he asked for his legal right to a debriefing. How is the state this incompetent with something this important? Sisters Audrey and Melannie sit down with Attorney Jesse Wineberry Sr. — former five-term state legislator, first Black House Majority Whip in Washington’s history, and Chair of WENA — to break it down, shed light on the matter, and invite the community to take action. Somethin’ ought to be said. What say YOU?

He now must incur legal costs to challenge this injustice. It's not about the “contract” anymore – it's about the “principle” of the matter and the blatant disrespect of “Black Excellence.” Please support Dr. Hunter in this fight.

Teague travels to Bethesda, Maryland, to sit down with Leslie D. Hale, President and CEO of RLJ Lodging Trust. A Howard University alum with an early passion for finance, Leslie built her career driven by a desire to be on the decision-making side of the table—and today leads one of the industry's most respected public lodging companies. As the first African American woman to lead a publicly traded REIT, Leslie shares how her strategic mindset and appetite for calculated risks have shaped RLJ's evolution. With a portfolio of 96 hotels across 23 states—totaling approximately 21,000 rooms—she discusses the company's focus on urban lifestyle assets that thrive in “live, work, play” destinations. From active dispositions to reinvesting through renovations and conversions, Leslie calls this “the best portfolio the company has ever owned.” She opens up about the power of mentorship, the value of diverse perspectives in leadership, and the art of balancing professional ambition with family—reminding us that success often means being comfortable without having it all figured out.

Our conversation with Brian Vickers, Lead Music Supervisor at Walt Disney Studios, is both inspiring and insightful as he shares how an early passion for music evolved into an extraordinary career.Brian has worked on a ton of projects like Project Runway, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Khloé & Lamar, Kourtney & Kim Take New York, The Real World and Bad Girls Club, including trailer campaigns for Avengers: Infinity War, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Black Panther and The Incredibles 2, to name a few.If you've ever found yourself obsessed with a movie soundtrack or a perfectly placed song over a scene, this is the episode for you. Brian takes us on a journey as to how he, as a Howard University grad from Birmingham, Alabama, ended up moving to Los Angeles in 2008, right before the writers' strike and how the industry's pivot to reality TV steered his early career. We talk about how the Bernie Mac Show was the series that opened his eyes to music supervision, his thoughts on AI in the music industry and what he wants aspiring creatives interested in sync to know about being 'sync friendly.'

BrownTown debriefs"No Cop Academy: The Documentary" (2023) with campaign organizers, interviewees, and producer/curator of the film, Debbie Southorn and Destiny Harris. The team reunites to discuss the creation, process, and impact of the one-hour SoapBox-produced film and the #NoCopAcademy campaign more broadly. The adult-supported, youth directed coalition and campaign from 2017-2019 was a grassroots effort demanding the city of Chicago stop the construction of a then-$95 million dollar cop academy in West Garfield Park and fund youth and communities instead. The city ultimately decided to move forward with the project, however, the lessons learned and strategies seeded would prove fruitful for future campaigns in Chicago and movements across the country. The gang unpacks how Chicago youth changed the organizing landscape and movement media supported in naming, framing, and resisting power, both forging a path to the city's current political moment. BrownTown and guests compare and contrast the struggles of the late 2010's to what our movements are up against in this new fascist reality.

   There's something very strange happening with members of Trump's cabinet that if we read it in a history book about the Lincoln administration we would have thought it was the scariest of times.  Is something big going on?  We take a look at a series of things that point to something historic.    Meanwhile, President Trump has decided he wants to go nuclear option and end the filibuster.  Its something nobody has really wanted to happen but he gives a really solid reason.    The teachers unions have been going nuts over the shutdown and for good reason.  It's not their funding, that just plugs along.  It's something else and its huge.   Mizzou basketball coach Dennis Gates is asked about playing Howard University and a scholarship both schools have from a former reporter in KC and in the process seems to let  it out of the bag he has TDS.    Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com has his biggest plays of the year this weekend as we discuss the Chiefs/Bills and KSU and KU games.    And our Final Final is a return of the Song of Week suggested by a listener.

Ever wonder what happens when you wear a provocative racing suit labeled "Foreplay" to a one-year-old's birthday party? This episode delivers exactly that kind of chaotic energy as the speaker recounts their whirlwind weekend adventure.The journey begins with an ungodly 4:48 AM flight to Washington D.C., followed by day-drinking wine instead of hitting the gym, and helping friends create elaborate Halloween costumes involving planets and sashes. The weekend escalates with awkward steam room encounters at a trendy gay gym, defending questionable outfit choices at a child's party, and somehow ending up on an intense hiking adventure in fashion sneakers.Between the laughs, there are moments of reflection on serious topics like campus shootings during Howard University's homecoming weekend, showing how tragedy has become disturbingly normalized. The episode also touches on political tensions when visiting friends with unexpected Trump memorabilia decorating their homes.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (10/07/2025): 3:05pm- According to documents discovered by FBI Director Kash Patel, former Special Counsel Jack Smith tracked the private communications of several Republican Senators and Congressmembers as part of his investigation into the January 6th riots at the U.S. Capitol. Brooke Singman of Fox News writes that Smith's “Arctic Frost” team tracked the phone calls of Lindsey Graham (SC), Marsha Blackburn (TN), Ron Johnson (WI), Josh Hawley (MO), Tommy Tuberville (AL), and others. In response to the revelation, President Donald Trump referred to Smith as a “sleazebag” and a “bad guy” who tried to ruin people's lives. 3:15pm- The ladies of The View hypothesized that the Trump Administration's National Guard utilization to crackdown on violent crime in cities like Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Memphis, and Chicago is really a ploy to cancel future elections. What? 3:40pm- The morning show won't play clips of Rich on Fox News—so we will! Plus, Matt goes to Seattle. Why did everyone there have a lumberjack beard? 3:50pm- Pork Roll or Taylor Ham…or Neither? During a recent interview, Mikie Sherrill—the Democratic nominee for Governor of New Jersey—declared that “nobody wants pork roll” and that it is “gross.” 3:55pm- Ever wonder about the history of Taylor Ham/Pork Roll? In 1906 the Pure Food and Drug Act was enacted. One of its main purposes was to prevent misleading or inaccurate labeling of food products. After the law took effect, federal regulators determined that John Taylor's “prepared ham” product didn't meet the legal definition of "ham" because: 1. It wasn't made exclusively from the hind leg of a pig (as true ham must be), and 2. It contained added sugar, spices, and preservatives, making it more of a processed pork roll than a traditional cured ham. 4:05pm- On Friday, The Rich Zeoli Show will be broadcasting LIVE from Wildwood, New Jersey for an America First rally. Speakers include Jack Ciattarelli, Scott Presler, Benny Johnson, Jack Posobiec, Congressman Jeff Van Drew, Cliff Maloney, Paula Scanlan, Matt Rooney, and Rich Zeoli!

Meanwhile, National Research—which is considered one of the country's most accurate polling organizations, according to FiveThirtyEight—now has Ciattarelli running 1-point ahead of Sherrill. Republicans in NJ believe Ciattarelli can win, which should boost voter turnout. According to DecisionDeskHQ, Republicans have a mail-in ballot return rate of 18.61%—outpacing Democrats who are at 16.55%. 5:05pm- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in the Oval Office.
