On the latest Raised by Her, Ro Nita breaks down Chappelle’s NPR interview with Michelle Martin. She points out the "Hot Take" buried in the conversation: Chappelle argues that we actually have no control in the current media landscape, and his investment in WYSO is a way to reclaim freedom, not power. 📉🚫

Ro Nita reveals that Chappelle’s goal is "beneficial long-term for the future," rather than trying to fix today's political mess. She demonstrates that the station was in desperate need, and by stepping in, he’s protecting a platform where voices aren't filtered through a corporate lens. 🏛️⚖️

Is Chappelle’s "hands-off" investment model the only way to save local journalism, or is it naive to think big money doesn't always come with strings?

On the latest The 12 Hub, H and Kari drop a massive truth bomb. H points out that right before he died, Kobe’s shoe line was basically dead. He reveals that rumors were swirling about Kobe starting his own brand because Nike wouldn't give him a "LeBron deal." 📉🚫

Kari demonstrates that the Kobe 11s and ADs were "fully stocked" at outlets for $80. H argues that the current 2026 hype is entirely built on the tragedy, not the 2019 market demand. By the time the news hit, the "marked down" shoes vanished, leaving only size 18s behind. 🏛️⚖️

Do you think the Kobe line would even exist today if he were still here to renegotiate, or was he really about to leave for Mamba Brand?
