Speaker 1 (00:00):
Still broadcasting from the Civic Cipher studios. This is the
QR code where we share perspective, seek understanding, and shaped outcomes.
The man you are about to hear from is a
man with the patients of a minister and a school
teacher put together. He is the q and QR code,
and he.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Goes by MAE q Ward maybe the patients of a
high school teacher with me a dude, an elementary school teacher.
I don't I do not want you lying to these people.
Man whose voice you heard first is the R in
the QR code. He goes by the name of ramses Jah.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
We need to stick around. We're going to be talking
about Shannon Sharp getting fired from ESPN after his sexual
assault lawsuit settlement. That's such a crazy story, man, but
we're definitely going to talk about it. We've covered it
a few times and that's an interesting development, to say
the least. We're also going to be hearing from q
(00:55):
Ward right about now, as he tells democt to step up.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
You know, it's a really really interesting time to be
an informed citizen in this country, and that's kind of
the gift and the curse of what we do. A
lot of people can just turn their TV off and
kind of ignore what's going on and have some sense
of normalcy. And we do not have that option, and
(01:26):
that is not something that I celebrate for us. There's
an obvious bad guy team here, but then there's the
complicit party, ah man. And it's not really the loud kind.
(01:47):
Right out loud, we're saying and doing all the right things.
It's the quiet kind, not the kind that wears the
red hat. We know who they are. It's the ones
that claim they stand for justice and progress and equity,
but then sign dotted lines when no one's watching. So
(02:09):
today's clapback is not for the usual suspects. We typically
tend to aim right, but sometimes you have to aim
left to because truth be told, both parties have played
their part in the slow death of our country's democracy,
(02:33):
and unfortunately we have receipts. We are watching a Republican
party that's blatant and it's disregard for rights, decency, and
the constitution. But what about the party that was supposed
to be the firewall, the resistance, the protectors of the people.
(03:01):
Let's talk about votes. Democrats voted to increase military spending
beyond even what Trump asked for, They signed off on
bloated police budgets in the wake of the murder of
George Floyd. They stood by while ICE expanded surveillance and
(03:27):
quietly supported border crackdowns that mirror the cruelty they claimed
to oppose. Let's talk silence. Where were the loud, unified
voices when Biden proposed increasing funding for Israel in the
(03:48):
midst of its siege on Gaza? Where was the outrage?
Where were those who would speak up when student dead
relief was gutted? Where's the urgency when voting rights are
on the chopping block in state after state? Take a
(04:09):
look at who's funding some of these democrats. I think
it's the pro Israel lobby, a pact that has donated
millions to defeat progressive black and brown candidates while propping
up establishment democrats who told the line we spoke before
(04:32):
about our brother Corey Booker, articulate, charismatic, passionate, someone who
we regard as a leader. But he's received substantial backing
from that same pack. And while he still speaks out
against the authoritarianism and Trump's disregard for the Constitution, for
(04:55):
some of those words could ring hollow when they come
with the wink in a hands to the very donors
undermining international human rights. So you can't rail against Trump's
disregard for democratic norms while backing policies or lobbyists that
support occupation, surveillance, or apartheid. It's a deafening contradiction. So
(05:24):
this is the partner one wants to say out loud.
The Democratic Party benefits from the same corporate donations, the
same Wall Street cash, the same military contracts, the same
prison lobby dollars as the GOP. The system isn't broken
because one side is evil and the other side is benevolent.
(05:47):
It's broken because both sides are invested in power for themselves,
not for the people. So when you see Democrats vote
to extend surveillance powers, approve corporate tax loopholes, and quietly
back away from climate promises, they're not always caving to
the GOP. Sometimes they're doing what's in their own best
(06:11):
interest and showing you who they really are. Meanwhile, people suffer.
The schools our kids go to are underfunded and have
been for years. The medicare our parents rely on is
on the chopping block. Rights for women being stripped away,
and it seems like the Democrats are stargazing while a
(06:32):
lot of this stuff is happening. The rights of trans
kids debated like campaign slogans black and brown people, steal overpoliced, underprotected,
and underserved no matter which party is in charge, and
yet voters still cling to the same broken party lines,
(06:53):
thinking it's the lesser of two evils. But evil by
degree is still evil. Unfortunately, the system is not failing.
It's working exactly as designed, and too many Democrats have
been complicit. They don't need to wear red hats to
be dangerous. All they have to do is sit quietly
(07:14):
in blue and sign off on the same harm. This
moment requires courage, not calculation. It requires moral clarity, not
political theater. And the damn sure requires a media and
a people willing to call out hypocrisy no matter how
it's dressed, because complicity is not passive. It's a choice,
(07:39):
and the people deserve leaders who choose the people, and
not a system that serves themselves.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Well, well said, well said, All right, Well let's move
it along. Let's talk about Shannon Sharp as promised. So
one of the things I haven't said yet is my
(08:12):
heart really breaks for Shannon Sharp again for people that
are just coming to the show. I famously am not
the athlete. You know, it's not my thing. I'm the
music guy. Sports is not really my thing like that.
And Q introduced Shannon Sharp to me, like his content
(08:36):
and he's like so country, and he's so funny, and
he's so like he's just a special kind of person.
And I like this guy. I don't know anything about
his football. I know he's used to be a good
football player, but I don't I didn't know him back then.
I just know him as a guy who does this
type of content. And then when there was this sexual
(09:00):
assault lawsuit and it came at a time when there
was so many sexual assault lawsuits in the news against
you know, men in general, and then you know, there
were a lot of black men there, it felt like, ah,
man him too. You know, that just feels like really hurtful,
(09:20):
and it didn't feel on brand for who he is now.
I don't know his private life. I never met the man,
don't know it, but just felt so inconsistent. He didn't
feel like a rock star person that lived a rock
star life. And stuff could get you know, funny, but
you know who am I to say, it just felt
like kind of a disappointment, right, And I felt like, Okay, well,
(09:42):
this is all going to blow over because he would
never do something like that, you know whatever, and then
he's going to get back to making you know, his
content and whatever. And I'm not subscribed to it because
he talks about sports, but whenever he goes outside of
sports and talks about stuff, maybe I'll give it a
listen and you know, give it a like why not.
So let's jump into to the latest development. Shannon Sharp
fired from ESPN after sexual assault lawsuit is settled. Okay
(10:06):
this from CNN. Former NFL star Shannon Sharp, who has
been one of the faces of ESPN's morning sports debate
show First Take, is no longer with the network. A
source with knowledge of the situation told CNN. The breakup
between the podcast star and the media outlet comes less
than two weeks after Sharp reached the settlement with an
anonymous woman who filed a lawsuit against the famed tight end,
(10:26):
accusing him of multiple instances of assault, sexual assault, battery,
and sexual battery. Sharp's attorney did not have a comment
on Wednesday. The Athletic was the first to report the split.
At the time of the settlement, the accusers attorney Tony
Busby said, quote, both sides acknowledge a long term, consensual
and tutu tumultuous relationship. After protracted and respectful negotiations, I'm
(10:49):
pleased to announce that we have reached and mutually agreed
upon resolution. All matters have now been addressed satisfactorily, and
the matter is closed. The lawsuit will thus be dismissed
with prejudiceote it spoke. A spokesperson for Sharp confirmed the
details of Buzzby's statement and said that the three times
Super Bowl winner would not be commenting further on the matter.
The terms of the settlement were not disclosed. The lawsuit
(11:11):
originally sought compensatory and punitive damages of more than fifty
million dollars. Sharp's legal representatives previously described the lawsuit filed
in April as an attempt to shake down the popular
podcaster for millions of dollars, and said he quote categorically
denies all allegations of corrosion or misconduct. Unquote. Sharp has
also disputed the claims. So yeah, I when this first
(11:37):
came out, I know we're in a time where, you know,
you can't just give people the benefit of the doubt.
But as I mentioned, it just didn't sound on brand.
And then of course Shannon Sharp's initial reaction was, Hey,
here's the receipts, here's where she said this, that and
the third blah blah blah whatever, and so it's really
(11:59):
easy to see it through that lens of Okay, yeah,
maybe this is a shakedown. This guy makes a lot
of money and this woman has an opportunity to get
this money. The age of difference, all these sorts of
things a factor into like your initial response to it,
and of course we have to report on this and
try our best to be unbiased. But personally it felt like,
you know, they got them, you know, that's what it
(12:21):
felt like to me. And you know, the settlement here,
here's money that you want, and this goes away. We
don't even have to go to court. Is in some
people's view, might be an initial admission of a wrongdoing.
In another people's view, it might be just, hey, if
(12:42):
I give you this amount and this goes away, I
can make that back by you know, getting back on
the trucks. I'm losing a lot of money by sitting
on the sidelines. Waiting for this to resolve itself. But
in either case, as this lawyer Busby says, that it's
been resolved satisfactorily, you would imagine that Shannon Sharp, regardless
(13:03):
of innocent or guilt, or regardless of what happened, if
it was a shakedown, if it was authentic, whatever the
case is, he'd be able to get back to doing
what he's doing. And ESPN fires him from his job,
And that part feels like, man, what do you do?
And again I don't know what the what is, but
(13:28):
it feels so easy for somebody to just say something
without merit and then receive money for it and then
damage your life into perpetuity, and there's no protection against that.
It doesn't feel like there's enough protection against that, I guess.
(13:52):
And again, if this was all above board and everything,
then she got her money or enough money to make
this go away, it's all good. But I think this
disposes sort of a crack in the system that you know,
you can just say whatever you want to say and
ruin somebody's life. And I don't know, man, but you've
(14:14):
been following this just as closely as me. Q, what
are your thoughts here? Well, you said there's not enough protections.
There's none. What protections do you speak of? A person
who we don't know from Joe makes a claim as
a Jane Doe. Maybe eventually their name comes out, maybe not.
(14:36):
It's a civil suit, so not criminal, So this person
is not exposing themselves to any criminal backlash for making
a false claim if it turns out to be false.
The case was dismissed with prejudice, meaning these charges never
can be brought again. Both parties acknowledged a consensual relationship.
I think in his fiscal professional best interests, he settles
(14:57):
so that this thing can go away. But neither of
us can pretend to know the ins and outs of
this man's personal, intimate relationship with this young woman. What
we do know is that she gets to retire from
the job she had because she's got enough money now
and she can slip back into anonymity and live her
life as a now all wealthy person. And Shannon Sharp
(15:19):
gets to be a person who was accused of rape forever.
And unfortunately, a man accused of that particular crime wears
it forever no matter how the case plays out. There
there's been cases where it was a criminal and civil case,
and the man in the case was proven in both
(15:40):
courts to have not done the crime. That person by
that time has already lost opportunities, has already lost their job,
has already lost friends, and has already been smeared publicly.
And even when it's proven false, even when you have
people confess that they made it all up, they get
to go back to their lives undamaged, and the person
(16:01):
accused is permanently damaged. No matter how it plays out,
people will consider you must have put yourself in a
position to be charged with this, so you might as
well be guilty, is what I'm guessing they think. But
you never really get forgiven your slate never gets wiped clean.
You're a balled up piece of paper. You can never
be that fresh, flat, clean sheet ever. Again you it
(16:25):
cannot be pressed out. So it is a really, really
unfair system that positions wealthy people. And again, you found
guilty of this, go to jail forever. Yeah, sure that.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
But if a person accuses you of this baselessly or
predatorially so they can make some money, there's nothing to
discourage them from doing so. If nothing else, you want
to avoid embarrassment or avoid your reputation being damaged. And
that's why some people settle, because the longer this thing
(17:03):
is around, the less people who want to do business
with Shannon Sharp. You've got a pending rape case, sir,
so you make it go away, and then by settling
you look guilty. Sure, so it's a really really I
wish there was something in place that if a person
made this type of accusation and it was proven untrue,
(17:24):
that there was some type of punishment more than just
fiscal because if a person's bankrupt or doesn't have any money,
you suing them for a ten million dollars doesn't matter
who's going to pay you. There should be some punishment
if claims like this are found to be baseless and untrue.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Yeah wow, here's hoping that he, you know, finds his
way without ESPN. You know, you seem like a good
guy and if he did this, then made the universe
give him what he what he's doing, and that's going
to do it for us here on the QR Code.

courts to have not done the crime. That person by
that time has already lost opportunities, has already lost their job,
has already lost friends, and has already been smeared publicly.
And even when it's proven false, even when you have
people confess that they made it all up, they get
to go back to their lives undamaged, and the person
(16:01):
accused is permanently damaged. No matter how it plays out,
people will consider you must have put yourself in a
position to be charged with this, so you might as
well be guilty, is what I'm guessing they think. But
you never really get forgiven your slate never gets wiped clean.
You're a balled up piece of paper. You can never
be that fresh, flat, clean sheet ever. Again you it
(16:25):
cannot be pressed out. So it is a really, really
unfair system that positions wealthy people. And again, you found
guilty of this, go to jail forever. Yeah, sure that.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
But if a person accuses you of this baselessly or
predatorially so they can make some money, there's nothing to
discourage them from doing so. If nothing else, you want
to avoid embarrassment or avoid your reputation being damaged. And
that's why some people settle, because the longer this thing
(17:03):
is around, the less people who want to do business
with Shannon Sharp. You've got a pending rape case, sir,
so you make it go away, and then by settling
you look guilty. Sure, so it's a really really I
wish there was something in place that if a person
made this type of accusation and it was proven untrue,
(17:24):
that there was some type of punishment more than just
fiscal because if a person's bankrupt or doesn't have any money,
you suing them for a ten million dollars doesn't matter
who's going to pay you. There should be some punishment
if claims like this are found to be baseless and untrue.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Yeah wow, here's hoping that he, you know, finds his
way without ESPN. You know, you seem like a good
guy and if he did this, then made the universe
give him what he what he's doing, and that's going
to do it for us here on the QR Code.
