4.13.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Vatican Clashes with Trump Over War. US Blocks Iran Ports. Toledo Arrest Sparks Outrage

The tense relationship between the Vatican and the White House is escalating as Pope Leo XIV criticizes Trump's military directives against Iran and Venezuela. I'll discuss the clash of ideologies between the two with Father Michael Pfleger from Chicago.

The U.S. has begun blocking ships from entering or exiting Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz to pressure Iran to reopen this crucial oil route after peace negotiations collapsed.

In Ohio, a viral video of a Toledo police officer violently arresting a 15-year-old Black girl for jaywalking has sparked concerns among community leaders, as the officer involved is still on duty.

The African American Mayors Association has elected a new president, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott. He will join us to discuss his plans for the organization and for his city.

4.10.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered:LIVE from Norfolk State. VA Referendum Could Flip 4 Seats. Youth Vote Push Intensifies

This is our second town hall discussing Virginia's upcoming referendum vote on April 21, which could allow the state's Democrat-led Legislature to temporarily redraw its congressional districts ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

We'll have conversations with Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas and State Representative Mamie Locke.

Back with us are Virginia House Speaker Don Scott, Senators Tim Kaine and Mark Warner.
