    The middle is not the way to bring us together.

    The middle will not clean up the mess Sundowner Don is leaving behind.

    We need to build a better system and many younger Americans already know this.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Juneteenth Special | The Fight for Freedom Isn't Over with Yusef Jackson
Q: How should communities respond to rising economic pressures and the so-called post-1965 democracy?
Communities must mobilize, register, and elect leaders who will actively defend civil rights and expand economic opportunities, while maintaining excellence and collective action to address disparities in professions and access to capital.
Juneteenth Special | The Fight for Freedom Isn't Over with Yusef Jackson
Q: In your view, what is the biggest barrier still facing Black Americans in 2026?
The new barrier is the erosion of civil rights infrastructure and representation, including losses in political influence and weakening protections, which threaten to roll back decades of progress unless voters mobilize and push for accountability.
EXCLUSIVE: Governor Wes Moore DESTROYS Trump. He Is Not Backing Down!
Q: Let me be a little bit more direct because as we're taping this, it's happening. But tomorrow, what do you think our conversation would be like, Governor?
I expect to see continued progress on redistricting and state legislative seats, and a focus on advancing the values and policies that support working families and democracy.
Juneteenth Special | Ben Vereen on The Gray House & Preserving Black History
Q: Why is telling stories like The Gray House important now?
Because they illuminate the crucial roles of women and communities in shaping history, and they build a more complete, inclusive narrative for future generations.
Juneteenth Special | Ben Vereen on The Gray House & Preserving Black History
Q: How do you view the current era of recognizing Black history in Hollywood and media?
There's progress with more voices and stories, but the industry still needs to actively seek and support diverse narratives beyond the most familiar histories.
