Uncle Ro, be humble. I’m grateful for all that God has done for you and for the invaluable contribution you’ve made to the black community. Nevertheless, be humble. It’s your show, but don’t forget who gave it to you.

What Mike said at 34:55 brings to mind what Matthew Fogg experienced as a Deputy U.S. Marshal/DEA Agent. He asked his supervisor why they raid places like SE DC and not places like Springfield, Va or in Montgomery County MD; the supervisor was like if they raided a wealthy neighborhood and arrested kids, they'll be shut down by people in those areas whose parents are doctors, lawyers, judges, or hold other prominent positions. I would love for Roland to have him on...

Hey Roland, there's a young man named anton daniels who has become an apologist for ckirks racism? He's the same young man who agreed with megyn kellys attack on Jemele Hill. Please listen to his take on ckirks remarks about Michele, Ketanji, Joy and Jasmine? He recently also attacked a young Sister who walked out of her church because they were praising ckirk. PS; I would Love to see a challenge for Speaker of the House?
