Trump tariff fallout, S.C. lawmakers' assault on DEI, MLK's Last Speech

4.3.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Trump tariff fallout, S.C. lawmakers' assault on DEI, MLK's Last Speech

Virginia Senator Tim Kaine will join us to discuss the Senate's approval of his measure to reject Canadian tariffs. We'll also cover the federal budget, proposed budget cuts, and the massive layoffs.

In South Carolina, the House has passed a controversial anti-DEI bill that targets state agencies and schools involved in diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, training, or practices. We'll talk to a state representative who has shared his personal story about his father being threatened by the KKK, emphasizing that DEI benefits everyone, not just Black people.  

We'll speak with the mother of a California college student who died in a hazing incident in 2018. Her advocacy contributed to the passage of a law allowing hazing victims to sue educational institutions.

Today marks the 57th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s final speech, "I've Been to the Mountaintop," delivered at the Mason Temple Church of God in Christ Headquarters in Memphis, Tennessee.
