5.1.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered:  100 days of Trump chaos, Kamala Harris returns, Tucker Carlson/Megyn Kelly decry 'anti-white' system

Illinois Congressman Jonathan Jackson weighs in on Trump's first 100 days, and Former Vice President Kamala Harris gives her first major speech since leaving office.  She delivered a sharp critique, calling his tariffs war 'the greatest man-made economic crisis in modern history. 

We'll also examine the latest Black voter turnout numbers--the widest gap with White voters in over 30 years- and what that means for the future.

Black pollster Christopher Towler will discuss a study that challenges narratives about Black voter behavior and reshaping how parties approach 2028. 

I talked to actor David Oyelowo about his latest project and his free streaming service,  Mansa.  You don't want to miss that conversation.

3.26.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Summer Lee Launches Environmental Justice Caucus. Trump Attacks Newsom. Letitia James Targeted

Congresswoman Summer Lee and other members launched the People's Environmental Justice Caucus today. This new congressional caucus will address the environmental harms that disproportionately affect frontline communities.

The twice-impeached, criminally convicted felon-in-chief, college dropout Donald "The Con" Trump, had the audacity to call California Gov. Gavin Newsom stupid during today's cabinet meeting.  Newsom's response - classic. 

We'll explain how New York Attorney General Letitia James is getting targeted again by the Trump Administration.

While mortgage rates were expected to decline this year, the war in Iran has caused them to spike, complicating affordability for American homebuyers.

Experts warn that Artificial Intelligence could widen the racial wealth gap. We'll speak with a man who emphasizes that training is key to bridging this gap.

I'll have a conversation with the founder and executive director of the Center for Black Literature about the 18th Annual Black Writers Conference.

In tonight's Shop Black Star Network segment, we'll feature Created Collections, an artisan lifestyle brand that curates earth-rooted, soulfully made goods to inspire intentional living and everyday beauty.

3.23.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: SCOTUS Weighs Voting Rights Case. ObamaCare Anniversary. Memphis Task Force Under Fire

The Supreme Court heard arguments that could upend how millions of Americans vote, putting mail-in ballots and voter access at risk just months before the midterm elections. 
The Nation's Justice Correspondent, Elie Mystal, is here to breakdown today's hearing. 

Sixteen years ago today, Barack Obama signed the Affordable Care Act, giving millions of Americans access to health care for the first time. Today, Democrat Leaders are reminding the country why Americans and those protections should take first priority over the Iran War. 

Donald "The Con" Trump was in Memphis today, praising a task force he sent into the city to reduce crime, although protesters and Tennessee leaders say the Safe Task Force has hurt thousands and terrorized their communities for months. A Tennessee Pastor and President of the Memphis Interfaith Coalition for Action & Hope will explain how the city's Safe Task Force is impacting the community. 

And in tonight's Book Club, Jamie Holmes' book, "The Free and the Dead: The Untold Story of the Black Seminole Chief, the Indigenous Rebel, and  America's Forgotten War which recounts the events surrounding the 1835 attack on the Seminoles in pre-statehood Florida, which was part of the broader Seminole Wars between the United States and the Indigenous tribes of Florida.

3.20.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Uncle Nearest Bankruptcy Blocked. McDonald’s Bias Lawsuit. TPS Fight Heads to SCOTUS

A Tennessee judge has blocked a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing made earlier this week by Uncle Nearest CEO Fawn Weaver. Joining us next is the creator of The Public Opinion Court and author of Shut Up and Prosecute, Thelma Anderson, to break this down.

Black homeownership across the country still lags behind white homeownership, according to a report from Habitat for Humanity. The president of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers joins me to break down their efforts to close that gap.

A judge has ruled the green light on a racial bias lawsuit that two Black woman executives have brought against the popular fast food chain, McDonald's. More on that ahead.

Next month, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments regarding the Trump administration's attempt to end Temporary Protected Status for individuals from both Haiti and Syria. I'll speak with one of the leading Haitian-American activists who is fighting on their behalf. 

The head coach of the Tuskegee University men's basketball team has filed a lawsuit after being handcuffed by a police officer during the postgame handshake at Morehouse College in January. His attorney Harry Daniels joins us tonight.
