8.7.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered:Trump White House Targets Lisa Cook Again. 23,000 Jobs Lost. Black Unemployment Gap Persists

The White House is renewing its efforts to remove Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors.

The job market numbers for July have been released, showing a loss of 23,000 jobs, which could indicate a slowdown ahead.  Black unemployment rates continue to reflect a persistent gap compared to other racial groups.  Economist Morgan Harper will join us to break down the numbers.

A newly released report highlights the lack of high-quality math education for Black children.  We'll speak with the author of "Calculated Barriers: Examining the History Behind Math Inequities Facing Black Students" to discuss how historical policies and structural practices hinder math literacy, college access, and opportunities in tech fields.

Tennessee voters have made their voices heard.  We'll break down the candidates who will be on the ballot in November.

And in sad news, entertainment journalist Flo Anthony and "Ms. Dupree" from The Tom Joyner Morning Show have passed away.
