Eddie Glaude

Yeah.

I was talking to Eddie Glaude, a personal professor.

He was like, all these white friends I have, they're going to make mistakes sometimes, say something crazy.

But it's just because of the culture that they're raised in.

They know that name.

They might certainly show up for an Eddie Glaude if they've seen them, you know, these public intellectuals.

But you say Nikki Giovanni's coming to town and that room is standing room only every time.

And I've seen her read about at least 10 times over the course of my life.

I think that, you know, there is a. There's a need for us to constantly reckon with the intellectual tradition, the expressive tradition, the idea that Black folks in some ways have been saying a lot of the same things for a long time.

I mean, we've been finding creative, innovative ways of saying it.

But, you know, Frederick Douglass is making a lot of the same arguments that Baldwin is making and a lot of the same arguments that, you know, Josh Myers is making, that Eddie Glaude is making, right? Like that there is a continuum of kind of continuity, right? In that, you know, there's nothing new under the sun.

But I worry that our... constant um investment in the kind of um the through lines maybe doesn't always allow us to to embrace the kind of capaciousness of what it is that black studies does right like yeah we've been making some of the same arguments about the condition of whiteness and you know the the kind of the perils of anti-Blackness for, you know, for our society.

Jacob Soboroff, thank you for joining us today, for walking and talking like none other.

Eddie Glaude, thank you for being here today with me.

Ahead for us, it is another reminder of Donald Trump.

incompetence, of his corruption, of his willingness to use the power of the federal government to falsely target our country, our citizens of our country.

And that stuff is on YouTube.

Eddie Glaude that we just had.

Eddie Glaude from Princeton University.

Eddie Glaude is dope.

What's his name? Oh, God.

George.

The election is going to be decided by you at the ballot box voting early.

So trust yourself, trust your gut and stop listening to all these talking heads who often get it wrong yet are still booked again on a corporate news cable network as many of them are the same people who got it wrong in 2016 the same people who are telling you don't vote for Hillary Clinton leave your ballot blank if you're not in a battleground state Eddie Glaude the same people who told you all that kind of nonsense and garbage in 2016, are still on the air in 2026, 10 years later, talking all their nonsense and saying, oh, well, this should be a win here and Nolan Wells should get justice.

Well, you know what? He probably would have got justice if he had actually had sensible outlook and said that Hillary Clinton should be voted for she must be voted for because maybe we could have turned a lot of this stuff around we'll never know for sure now but I want you to ignore all these people even the ones you like who said to you that oh my goodness me this is happening and that's happening Those people get paid to say what they say in many instances.

They get paid to say something in many instances.

That's the key.

This is Eddie Glaude.
