    Roland getting fired up is what I listen for. Thank you for the history lessons. Thank you for your experience. Thank you for see the urgency. And the cussing doesn’t bother me. It’s time to get moving and stop being babies. Get ready to make sacrifices and fight or be pulled back into slavery.

    Power to the Black People.

  • Much Needed Conversations.

    I love this show because of the guests Roland has on. I no longer listen to “mainstream” media because they do not have these guests on. These are the people I want to hear from. And they truly are speaking unfiltered truth. But can y’all PLEASE get the editing together? It makes no sense that commercials start when someone is speaking mid sentence or even mid word. If it were not for the editing issues, this would be my absolute favorite show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump Fires Pam Bondi. DeSantis Signs SAVE Act. John Hope Bryant on AI Jobs
Q: What practical steps can individuals take to increase net worth without government intervention?
Bryant emphasizes personal financial literacy: raise credit scores, leverage EITC, pursue home ownership, and build wealth through ownership rather than just income; he also advocates for purchasing power within a supported ecosystem and private sector leverage to grow capital.
Ghana’s Prez Confronts Slave Trade Legacy. Reparations Push Grows. Trump Tariffs Hit Small Biz
Q: How might Black communities survive these overlapping economic challenges?
Leverage collaboration with other small businesses to share resources, negotiate better terms, explore joint purchasing, and advocate for access to affordable loans and healthcare benefits to stabilize employment.
Ghana’s Prez Confronts Slave Trade Legacy. Reparations Push Grows. Trump Tariffs Hit Small Biz
Q: What should the average consumer do in order to support small businesses during this time?
Be intentional with spending, frequent local visits to sustain cash flow, provide feedback to businesses to help them improve, and avoid rushing to online channels when it's possible to support local storefronts.
SCOTUS Weighs Birthright Citizenship. Trump Voting Order Under Fire. GA Lawmaker Goes Off
Q: What is the core constitutional argument around birthright citizenship in light of the 14th Amendment?
The guests emphasize that birthright citizenship rests on the text of the 14th Amendment and the interpretation of 'subject to the jurisdiction of the United States,' which historically hinges on allegiance and intent rather than 19th-century framers' beliefs; changing it would upend long-standing constitutional precedent.
Target Fast Ends. Justin J. Pearson Slams Musk xAI Gas Turbines. Florida Anti-DEI Bill
Q: What is the next phase after the Target Fast ends, and which companies or issues might be targeted next?
The next phase involves evolving the campaign beyond Target, identifying other corporations to hold accountable, and expanding coalition-building to ensure sustained economic pressure and policy change.
