Tune in Friday, January 16, 2026 @ 7pm EST/4pm PST/6pm CST for the next “He Said, He Said, He Said Live!” A Look atthe World from A Seasoned Black Man’s Perspective… because one perspective isn’t enough for “Let’s Get Newsy XL (40).”

Alvin, Bobby and Shawn turn up the volume with Let’s Get Newsy XL — Episode 40, and the conversation is as big as the moment. We’re starting with Washington, where the House has passed a three-year extension of ACA subsidies with bipartisan support, including 17 Republicans crossing the aisle—raising real questions about healthcare, politics, and what compromise looks like in this climate. From there, we shiftto a powerful human story as Vietnamese Buddhist monks make a 2,300-mile pilgrimage from Texas to Washington, D.C., carrying a message of peace, loving-kindness, and compassion that feels especially urgent right now.

We’ll also dig into stories that aren’t getting the attention they deserve, including serious questions surrounding the killing of Keith Porter by an off-duty ICE agent in Northridge, Los Angeles, and why so little has been said about it publicly.Internationally, the Nobel Institute has reportedly rejected an unusual request involving Maria Karina Matata’s office and a proposal to share a Peace Prize with Donald Trump, while closer to home, Yang and Matt Rogers are urgingsupporters not to waste money on Jasmine Crockett’s Senate run. Add to that FIFA refunding roughly 16,000 members ahead of the 2026 World Cup amid U.S. boycott concerns, and there’s no shortage of news to unpack.

And then it’s on to entertainment, where awards season is already heating up. Teyana Taylor has taken home a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress, Sinners is dominatingthe conversation after winning Best Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, and rivalries in music and film have everyone talking. Mary J. Blige is set to launch a Las Vegas residency in May 2026, sharing the spotlight with Bruno Marsas his tour kicks off the same month, while Jill Scott returns with a new solo project that has fans eagerly waiting to see what she brings next. Plus, the guys break down the fashion hits from the Golden Globes and give their take on who understood the assignment.

It’s news, culture, music, style, and unfiltered conversation—all in one place. This one is truly newsy for everybody, so tune in, tap in, and check us out this Friday on He Said, He Said, He Said LIVE.
