Private School Blues

from The Brilliant Idiots Hosted by Charlamange Tha God and Andrew Schulz

Charlamagne and Andrew dig into the Macklemore-Ed Sheeran-Robert Kraft mess, unpacking what "free Palestine" really means, why Sheeran's taking the heat while the stadium owners who pressured him skate, and whether artists have any obligation to push back on institutions that police speech. That leads into a wider gut-check on Trump-era press access and what it says that even lifelong conservatives are getting twitchy about their freedoms, with Charlamagne's "vanilla ISIS" theory of who actually revolts when rights get squeezed. Chris jumps into the debate over public vs. private school, teacher pay, and Nikole Hannah-Jones' gut-punch essay on failing her own daughter, plus a heated legacy-admissions and DEI showdown that gets personal fast. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: ⁠⁠https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots⁠⁠ Vote for PJ for Baby Of The Year - http://babyoftheyear.org/2026/patrick-27a8 Jess Hilarious - Til Death Do We Parent - ⁠Pre Order⁠ 2Chainz - The Voice in my head is God - ⁠⁠Pre Order⁠⁠ The Black Family Who Built America - Cheryl McKissack Daniel -⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Uncommon Favor - Dawn Staley - ⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Get Honest or Die Lying Why Small Talk Sucks- By Charlamagne Tha God - ⁠⁠Order Link⁠⁠ Check out Andrew Schulz - ⁠⁠www.theandrewschulz.com⁠⁠ Check out all the podcast on Charlamagne's "Black Effect Network" - ⁠⁠https://blackeffect.com⁠⁠ Checks out AlexxMedia ⁠AM Mornings⁠
