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.

3.31.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Terence Crutcher Case Heads to Jury. SCOTUS Race Case. Senators Press 2020 Election Truth

After a decade, the white officer who killed Terence Crutcher will finally face a jury for her actions, following an appeals court ruling that Betty Jo Shelby is not entitled to qualified immunity. I will speak with the family attorney and Terence's sister about this significant judicial victory.

The Supreme Court Justices have heard arguments regarding a Mississippi death penalty case that raises important issues about race, jury selection, and fairness within the criminal justice system. This follows a 2019 decision in which the Supreme Court overturned another inmate's conviction for similar misconduct involving the same prosecutor and judge.

Democratic Senators Richard Blumenthal and Sheldon Whitehouse called out the judicial nominees for failing to admit who won the 2020 presidential election. 

The Army has suspended four personnel in connection with an incident involving two Apache helicopters flying low over the Nashville home of Kid Rock.

We'll also talk to the authors of a new report that outlines the impact of Trump's policies on Black women in business.

And in tonight's Shop Black Star Network segment, she went from being homeless to creating jewelry recognized as one of Oprah's Favorite Things. We'll talk to the creative mind behind Valencia Key Jewelry.
