Thurgood Marshall College Fund

It was just, it was just a good time.

I was in, in DC with Thurgood Marshall College Fund, and they had their two big events, their biggest gala that they do of the entire year.

They had a DC CEO Impact event.

Like, when I tell you just amazing the work that they are doing, the events were phenomenal.

I love it.

It was beautiful.

So big shouts out to Thurgood Marshall College Fund.

It was amazing.

And so, and, and again, I need people to understand, this is not an ego thing.

But the reality is, if you're talking to a room of 50 people versus talking to thousands of people, and I'm gonna say this again, why was I critical of the UNC up in Thurgood Marshall Fund? Because if you say you advocate for Black people, and you support the Protect College Sports Act, then you should come to tell Black people why.

Don't hide behind press releases.

Don't, when we call, "No, no, no, we don't wanna commit." No, no, no, no.

It was just it was just a good time.

I was in D.C. with Thurgood Marshall College Fund and they had their two big events, their biggest gala that they do of the entire year.

They had a D.C. CEO impact event.

Like when I tell you just amazing the work that they are doing, the events were phenomenal.

And, and, uh, we, we've been talking about this.

Um, we have, we have reached out to the Thurgood Marshall Fund, United Negro College Fund, uh, to have them come on the show and explain why they're supporting this bill.

Um, the UNCF has declined.

The Thurgood Marshall Fund won't even respond to our request, and I've made it clear that if you are an entity that says that you represent Black people, then you should be talking to Black people when you support something.

And we, we, we've had them on the show on many other issues, that they've come on gladly, but it's amazing how they don't wanna come on to discuss this very issue.

Uh, and the same thing, the s- the, the, the, the, the HBCU commissioners, uh, same thing.

Booker explains why the bill will not help college athletes.

I'll also dig in further as to why is the Thurgood Marshall Fund and the UNCF supporting the bill, but not talking about why.

Senator Mitch McConnell is back after a three-month absence.

Um, he looks like he is totally out of it.

Nowhere in this bill does it say $10, $20, $30, $40, $50 million for HBCUs, for infrastructure, and all those things.

None of that.

The Thurgood Marshall Fund and the UNCF are supporting this bill.

We reached out to both of them.
