11.18.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Texas Map Blocked, KC ‘Racist Cartel’ Case Advances, Epstein Files Vote, Memphis Guard Halted

A Texas judge blocks the GOP's new congressional map, and that could shake up the 2026 midterms. State Representative Jolanda Jones will explain how the ruling could shape the 2026 midterms. 

A federal judge is allowing a major RICO case to move forward in Kansas City.  We'll talk to the attorney who filed the case about the accusations of an all-white board running Westport's nightlife like a racist cartel. 

The National Guard has to leave Memphis.  We'll talk to a City Council member about the injunction a judge issued that stopped troops from patrolling the city. 

On Capitol Hill, the House just voted  427 to 1 to release the Epstein files.

Trump's Latino support is dwindling.  We'll talk to black pollster Christophe Towler about the latest poll. 

In our Black Star Network Marketplace, Be Rooted, a stationery brand that celebrates and empowers women of color with bold journals and beautifully crafted planners, will make great gifts this holiday season.

11.13.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Longest Shutdown In History Ends, DOJ Tries To Block Calif. Map, Rev. Jesse Jackson Hospitalized

LIVE from the Butterfield Bermuda Championship.  I'll show you my conversation with PGA golfer Chase Johnson later in the show. 

Here's what else is coming up on Roland Martin Unfiltered, streaming live on the Black Star Network.

The longest government shutdown in history is over. Congresswoman Lauren Underwood will explain why we should expect everything to snap back to normal.

In the nation's redistricting battle, Trump's DOJ is taking legal steps to block California's new congressional map, voted on by the people. 

Illinois is up next in the redistricting fight. State Senator Willie Preston will explain why he is more interested in protecting Black voters than in Democratic redistricting efforts. 

A federal judge heard arguments to disqualify interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan in the cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.  They say she is improperly in her position as interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

The Reverend Jesse Jackson is in a Chicago hospital under observation for a neurodegenerative condition.

If you're not into baking but still need to bring a dessert to this year's holiday gathering, we've got just the thing for you. We have the perfect sweet treat to tell you about in tonight's Black Star Network Marketplace Segment.

11.11.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Senate Passes Bill to End Shutdown, HBCU Reopens After 10 Years, Texas A&M Ideology Clash


In a 60-40 vote, the Senate passed the funding bill that would end the longest government shutdown in history.  The bill heads to the House for a final vote. 

A Utah judge denied the GOP-passed congressional map, which created two competitive districts that still favored Republicans.

The return of students to North Carolina's Barber-Scotia College marks a significant milestone for the HBCU.  The president will be here to discuss how the school went from disrepair and loss of accreditation to reopening its campus and welcoming back students for the first time in nearly a decade. 

The Texas A&M Board of Regents will vote on whether to limit the teachings of 'race or gender ideology' in university classrooms.

Alabama Congressman Shomari Figures introduced legislation to honor the first Black aviators in U.S. military history by renaming a post office after the Tuskegee Airmen.

In our Black Star Network Marketplace, DOJO, a company that transforms everyday moments through scent.
