This episode kicks off with a tense national flashpoint as federal prosecutors dig into the chaotic Minnesota church protest, where anti‑ICE demonstrators stormed a St. Paul sanctuary after learning a pastor also served as the local ICE field director. The DOJ is weighing charges under the FACE Act, and top officials—from Attorney General Pam Bondi to Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon—have condemned the disruption, even scrutinizing journalist Don Lemon’s on‑site coverage. This leads into the show’s Question of the Day: Are Black people better off now than during Dr. King’s lifetime? Callers and hosts wrestle with progress versus regression, noting ongoing issues like racism, political backlash, and economic inequality — debates that mirror current reporting on racial climate and the politicization of MLK’s legacy.

The conversation then shifts to New York City, where the largest nurses' strike in city history continues into its second week. Over 15,000 nurses remain on strike demanding safe staffing ratios, protection from workplace violence, and fair healthcare benefits, with major hospitals and the nurses’ union still deadlocked. Jasmine Sanders closes the show with her “Top 5 Black People Working Against the Cause,” naming figures like Candace Owens, Byron Donalds, Tim Scott, Stephen A. Smith, and Nicki Minaj — a list that hits differently given real‑world political tensions and recent controversies involving Owens and Minaj circulating in the media.
