4.2.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Trump Fires Pam Bondi. DeSantis Signs SAVE Act. John Hope Bryant on AI Jobs

Pam Bondi, you're fired! The twice-impeached, criminally convicted felon-in-chief, Donald "The Con" Trump, fired the now-former Attorney General on Thursday.

John Hope Bryant, Operation HOPE founder & CEO, has a new book called "Capitalism for All.  He's here discuss the impact of AI on the future of work, Trump accounts, his thoughts on capitalism, and more.

A federal judge dismissed multiple claims of a civil rights lawsuit filed by the family of a black man who was shot and killed by Alabama police officers in September 2023. The judge, however, ruled that the suit against the officer who actually pulled the trigger can move forward. More on that ahead. 

A Black South Carolina couple files a federal lawsuit against a South Carolina state trooper, accusing the trooper of wrongly holding their family at gunpoint in 2025. The couple and their attorney are here.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a version of Trump's SAVE Act into law. As this year marks the 10th anniversary of Black Voters Matter, it is now more important than ever to fight back. Co-Founder & Executive Director of Black Voters Matter, Cliff Albright joins us later to talk about their new initiative to combat voter suppression.

I spoke with Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens about her upcoming campaign for the Democratic Nominee in August and what she plans on doing to help black and minority communities across the state of Michigan if elected in November. Stay tuned to hear our conversation.

And tonight in our Black Star Network Marketplace, a global, manga-inspired comics brand is putting diverse creators front and center--and it's building a whole new lane for storytelling. The Publisher joins us later.

4.1.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: SCOTUS Weighs Birthright Citizenship. Trump Voting Order Under Fire. GA Lawmaker Goes Off

The Supreme Court has heard arguments regarding birthright citizenship, particularly concerning Donald Trump's executive order that seeks to limit citizenship for children born to undocumented immigrants and those on temporary visas. We will share some of today's arguments from the attorneys defending the Constitution and gain insights from Elie Mystal, the Nation's Justice Correspondent.

Virginia's Attorney General, Jay Jones, will discuss Trump's illegal executive order on voting.

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey has signed a new bill requiring insurance companies to cover prostate cancer screenings at no cost. In our second hour, we will talk with the black AL.com columnist after whom the bill was named.

And we'll show you how Georgia State Representative Tanya Miller gave a scholastic breakdown of America's real history to her white colleagues.
