7.30.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Trump Economy Slows. Black Men Face Wealth & Job Gaps. Nolan Wells 911 Audio Raises Questions.

New federal data show the U.S. economy slowed sharply in the second quarter of 2026, falling well below expectations and undercutting the Trump administration’s economic promises.

Michigan voters head to the polls Tuesday in a closely watched Democratic U.S. Senate primary. Roland speaks with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed about his campaign and why he believes he should represent Michigan in Washington.

A new report from Virginia State University details the persistent economic disparities facing Black men and boys in education, employment and household wealth. Dr. Wes Bellamy joins us to break down the findings.

And new audio from the emergency call made by Nolan Wells’ friends is raising more questions about what happened before the 18-year-old disappeared and died. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump and Nolan’s parents provide the latest on the investigation.
