5.13.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Diddy trial: Cassie testifies, Jeffries warns GOP, Trump Car factories lie, Afrikaners refugees Diddy's longtime girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, testified today about the alleged violence she experienced throughout their on-and-off 10-year relationship. Legal analyst Candace Kelley will join us to provide disturbing updates on this case. What is Trump lying about now? He's claiming the surge of U.S. auto manufacturing is due to tariffs driving foreign automakers to expand their operations and create American jobs. Former Congressman John Walsh will join us to unpack the truth behind this statement. The "Convict-in-Chief's" fast-tracking of refugee status for 59 white South African Afrikaners, under the pretext of a so-called farmers' "genocide", is provoking backlash. The National Black Farmers Association president will discuss Trump's false narrative. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer says he'll block all Department of Justice nominations until he has more information about the free Air Force One replacement reportedly provided by Qatar. #BlackStarNetwork partner: Fanbasehttps://www.startengine.com/offering/fanbase This Reg A+ offering is made available through StartEngine Primary, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC.

Van Hollen returns, MLK struggles in the North We haven't made it to the first 100 days, and the twice-impeached, criminally convicted felon-in-chief, Donald "The Con" Trump, has unleashing lawlessness. Janai Nelson, the President and Director-Counsel at the Legal Defense Fund, will explain that although Trump's tactics aren't new, they can be stopped. According to the nonprofit organization Vera Institute, it was targeted by Trump's DOJ and DOGE, setting a troubling precedent for targeting nonprofits that receive federal funding. Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen just returned from El Salvador, where he finally met Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the father who was wrongfully deported. And I spoke with Jeanne Theoharis about her new book, "King of the North: Martin Luther King Jr.'s Life of Struggle Outside the South." The book focuses on how King's experiences outside the South significantly influenced his campaign for racial justice. #BlackStarNetwork partner: Fanbasehttps://www.startengine.com/offering/fanbase This Reg A+ offering is made available through StartEngine Primary, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC.

Why would a founder sell their business when it's thriving? It's a question we hear often—and what we call the “entrepreneur's dilemma.” In this episode, Managing Directors Mike Lyon and Jeff Bean unpack why selling during a growth phase, though counterintuitive, can lead to better outcomes. They discuss how buyers value momentum, the risks of holding on too long, and how founders can maximize value by leaning into growth.Securities offered through Vista Point Advisors, member FINRA/SIPC.

In this episode of Financial Clarity for Doctors Finity Group financial advisors, Corey Janoff and Rachelle Vanderzanden, discuss a few ways you can work through how to value your own time. Valuing your time: Why does it matter? This can help you decide all sorts of things! Such as…. How much to work (assuming you have the flexibility to decide) Whether it makes sense to do something yourself or pay someone else to do it How to discuss finances with family and loved ones Your time spent in training is an investment in future earnings, which are not simple to predict. As an attending, think about how much time you spend to be able to work. This includes time at work, getting to work, continuing education, and time at home spent on work tasks. If you know your total time commitment per year and your annual pay, you can get a basic hourly rate for yourself and use that to decide lots of things. For example, buying this new car is equivalent to me working five hours per month – is that worth it to me? Money isn't everything. Some people work to live.

Headlines, federal government funding issues, and stock market volatility can lead people to question how secure their own place is in the economy. How will this impact my job and my income? In this episode of Financial Clarity for Doctors, Rachelle Vanderzanden and Corey Janoff, walk through a few things that MAY impact the job market for physicians and other medical professionals. As always – It depends! Policy at the federal government level may affect your job, but this is so hard to predict ahead of time! Those effects could be a reduction in staff, changes in pay, or potentially just more work (if other staff is reduced). You may need to make some adjustments in the future if: You are a federal employee Your position is funded (even partially) by grant money from federal institutions You have many patients on Medicaid and/or Medicare You work for a hospital or university with non-profit status. This could be challenged in the future, which could potentially affect student loan repayment and your employer's cash flow. These adjustments may be a change in how much you work, how much time you are spending on research, or even finding a different job entirely. Keep in mind that as a medical professional, you generally have more job security than the average person. But it's still important to have adequate emergency reserves and a backup plan no matter who you are.

We'll tell you what lawmakers are doing on this Save Social Security Day of Action. Black farmers have always been excluded from federal funding grants. Now that MAGA is running the government, black farmers are struggling more than ever since the USDA cut DEI programs. The President of the National Black Farmers Association will be here to explain what they are doing to help farmers keep their land. We'll talk to the CEO of the Center for Rural Enterprise and Environmental Justice about the DOJ decision to terminate the agreement to fix a decades-old water and sewage crisis in the Alabama's "Black Belt." We'll talk to three black men who were detained for stealing a car. But they rented it. It's a wild story you don't want to miss.

4.14.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: DOJ ends raw sewage settlement, Crockett rips GOP's dangerous health agenda, El Salvador Deportation In 2023, the Department of Justice identified a pattern of neglect by Alabama's Department of Public Health, which has contributed to a decades-old water and sewage crisis in the state's "Black Belt," specifically in Lowndes County. Now, the MAGA administration is terminating the settlement that was reached to address the county's water issues. I will speak with the Rural Development Manager of the Equal Justice Initiative about how this decision will continue to affect Black citizens in Alabama. The false narrative that noncitizens were voting led to the passage of the SAVE Act, which requires documentary proof of citizenship to register or update voter information. We will discuss with the Policy Council from the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law the implications of this law on voters. In tonight's Crockett Chronicles, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett calls out MAGA Republicans for turning public health into a partisan circus. And thousands turnout to honor one of the greatest boxers of all time, George Foreman. #BlackStarNetwork partner: Fanbasehttps://www.startengine.com/offering/fanbase This Reg A+ offering is made available through StartEngine Primary, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC.

A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Public Investing, member FINRA/SIPC. Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. The 6.6% yield is the average, annualized yield to worst (YTW) across all ten bonds in the Bond Account, before fees, as of 3/12/2025. A bond's yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore, a bond's YTW is not “locked in” until the bond is purchased, and your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTW is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule. Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile. See Bond Account Disclosures to learn more. *Terms and Conditions apply.
