10.8.2025 #RolandMartinUnifltered: Shutdown Hits Wallets, Trump Targets Chicago Leaders, FL Kirk Bill, The Root’s Black Ownership

Many are seeing their pockets getting empty due to this administration's tariffs and policies.  We'll talk to an economist about how this shutdown will affect your bank account.  Washington Congressman Adam Smith will be here to talk about the eighth day of the government shutdown.
The criminally convicted man occupying the White House says Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker "should be in jail." 

A Florida state senator will be here to talk about a controversial new bill that would force public universities to rename roads after White Supremacist Charlie Kirk or risk losing state funding. 

And The Root's ownership returns to Black hands. Ashley Alison joins us to share her vision for the legendary brand's future and what this means for Black entrepreneurship.
