Mo discusses the legal pressure on BLM from Washington and California. He identifies a new group, "The Movement for Black Lives" (M4BL), which uses similar branding and the ActBlue donation platform, suggesting it is a new shell organization for the same interests. He mentions the possibility of a RICO case against the organization's top-level funders.
The Time's Up Legal Defense Fund raised $21 million in its first 100 days, operating under the National Women's Law Center. The hosts question where the money actually goes and note the involvement of high-level financial institutions like Goldman Sachs in the organization's growth.
P. Diddy's launch of "Our Black Party" is exposed as a fundraising front for the Democratic Party. Moe directs Adam to the organization's website, where the "contribute" button leads directly to ActBlue. The hosts mock the idea of an independent black political party that is functionally just an arm of the existing Democratic infrastructure.
Sean King claims to have raised over $34.5 million for various charities and social justice campaigns, backed by a seven-person expert review board. Families of high-profile victims, including the family of Botham Jean, have issued statements supporting King’s advocacy and personal involvement in their cases.
In a BET interview, Sean King admits to being a "natural starter" who has historically struggled with the execution and maintenance of the projects he funds. This admission is criticized through a venture capital lens, where failing to execute after receiving significant investment is typically seen as unacceptable.
Adam Curry and Mo conclude the episode by encouraging listeners to visit mofax.com to support the show through the "value for value" model. They emphasize that the program is entirely independent and unfunded by outside interests, ending with their signature sign-off about paying attention to the truth.
