4.22.2024 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: SCOTUS Tackles Unhoused Crisis, Fla. Former Felons Voting Rights, Mental Health v Illness

The Supreme Court confronts the nation's homelessness crisis by hearing arguments about the legality of local laws used against people camping on public streets and parks. We'll talk to the Center for American Progress' Senior Director of Courts and Legal Policy about how the court's ruling could impact the thousands of unhoused people.

In Alabama, a proposed law making Juneteenth a state holiday will also allow state employees the choice to recognize freedom or Jefferson Davis, a symbol of slavery. 

Desmond Meade will be here to update us on the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition's lawsuit against Governor Ron DeSantis and his attempt to keep former felons from voting. 

Operation Hope's founder, chairman, and CEO, John Hope Bryant, was on CNBC's Squawk Box this morning, discussing how Gen Z views capitalism and the difference between equality and meritocracy. I'm going to break down that conversation.

And in our Fit, Live, Win segment, we will be joined by a psychiatrist who will help us understand the difference between mental health and mental illness.

As Louisiana fights for a second predominantly voting district, the state supreme court gave the green light for the state to create a predominately white city, segregating Baton Rouge. Gary Chambers will be here to explain. 

Hope in Haiti seems to be dwindling as violent gangs initiate new attacks on the capital city while infighting over the transitional council's leadership. The Executive Director of the  Black Alliance for Just Immigration will join us and provide insight into what's happening in the Caribbean country. 

Millions of households could have bigger internet bills or no internet service if a federal broadband subsidy program they're enrolled in runs out of money.  We'll talk to Baltimore City's Director of Broadband and digital equity about what will happen to those who depend on the Affordable Connectivity Program.

5.1.2024 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: LA's Congressional Map Rejected, College Protests Spreading, Kristen Clarke & Domestic Violence

A new Louisiana congressional map giving the state a second majority-Black House district was rejected by a panel of federal judges. We'll talk to an attorney from the LDF about what's next in this battle to ensure black votes matter. 

Hundreds arrested, classes canceled as campus demonstrations across the U.S. intensify.  Award Winning Journalist and professor Rula Jebreal will discuss the growing number of pro-Palestinian students putting it all on the line. 

Justice Department's Kristen Clarke says she was a victim of domestic abuse.  We'll read her statement revealing why she chose not to disclose her expunged arrest record during the Senate confirmation process.

I'll talk to an HR expert about how the new non-compete agreement ban will affect employer-employee relationships. 

And in tonight's Tech Talk segment, Isaac Hayes III, the Founder of Fanbase, will discuss the integration of artificial intelligence in music production.

4.30.2024 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Reclassifying Marijuana, White v. Black Voter Turnout Gap, Derontae Martin Death Investigation

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration will reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug.  We'll talk to an advocate about this historic shift to the drug policy and its potential effects.

A follow-up to a disturbing case of Derontae Martin, the Missouri teen found shot in the head in the attic of a white supremacist.  The FBI has concluded its investigation and ruled his death a suicide.  Derontae's mother will tell us how she feels about the investigation. 

Brennan Center for Justice studied nearly a billion voter files and found that the gap between white and black voter turnout is growing. Brennan's Senior Director of Voting Rights will explain why it's increasing and how it will impact the ballot in November. 

And I'll have a recap of the 17th Annual George Lopez Celebrity Golf Classic.
