If you missed this one, please watch it on its repeat, but also come out on October 20th.

We got to take a break here, y'all.

And they need to be asked.

So maybe on our October 20th debate at Dillard university in conjunction with the power coalition, we'll ask those questions again, that other people may not be willing to ask.

Now, last story, one last story.

The justices of the United States Supreme Court agreed today to hear a case involving whether Doge is subject to the Federal Freedom of Information Act, whether they need to respond to a records request.

So we'll have that debate tomorrow.

We will also have a debate on October 20th that will be held at Dillard University in connection with the Power Coalition, where all of the candidates will be participating.

So we look forward to seeing you at that time.

And what are we doing Wednesday, Jerrod?

Yeah.

So Xcel Leader, we are a nonprofit organization founded by two HBCU alums, myself from Dillard University in New Orleans, Louisiana, and Jay Agodosea, a Howard alum.

And so the two of us, we were former SGA presidents in the 2017-2018 academic school year, and we wanted to find a way to give back to students during that time.

While we didn't have, like, the financial abilities to give back as we thought financially during that time after graduation, we wanted to, um, help students who were running for office on campus, and the pandemic helped us show that a, a little bit more students need more support outside of just the SGA presidents.

Seeking answers, he connected with the team at Children's Hospital of New Orleans, and what he found there changed everything.

Out of that experience and with a background from Dillard University and the University of Oklahoma, he built Kyler Cares, a foundation that has expanded its capacity through a grant from the Helmsley Charitable Trust.

Today, Kyle's work spans national programming, clinical research with the National Institutes of Health and Stanford University, and policy leadership, fighting to remove barriers that leave children without life-saving technology.

Kyle Banks, welcome to the show.

So start jumping.

So the man they hired to teach it was Vernon Winslow, a black art professor at Dillard University, a man of learning and sophistication and apparently considerable patience.

Winslow coached a white man to perform blackness on radio for a black audience, working behind the scenes so that a black man could get a black voice on the air at a white-owned station.

We spell it P-O-P-P-H. S-T-O-P-P-H.
