8.18.2022 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Inflation Reduction Act & the black community,Trump's Warrant, Black Census Month, Gen Z & TikTok Now that the Inflation Reduction Act is law, how will it address our climate crisis and impact the black community? Dr. Mustafa Santiago Ali, a former senior advisor for Environmental Justice of the EPA, will be here to explain it all.   We'll also look at how the other aspects of the Inflation Reduction Act will help black communities. A federal judge says he's willing to unseal redacted portions of Trump's search warrant affidavit. We'll talk about what that means and what details it could reveal about the investigation. Rudy Giuliani went down to Georgia to testify before a special grand jury about the 2020 election. Former Vice President Mike Pence says he'd consider appearing before the Jan. 6th committee if asked. August is National Black Census Month. We'll talk to the folk from Black Futures Lab about their goal of reaching 200,000 Black people with the Black Census Project. We'll tell you how you can participate. And why do Gen Zers prefer to use TikTok as a search engine versus Google? We'll look at how this shift influences a generation of voters who prefers video delivery over reading.
