10.2.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Trump Threatens Layoffs in GOP Shutdown, Troops in Cities, Bad Bunny Super Bowl Fight Turns Political

It's Day Two of the Republican-led government shutdown, and federal workers could start receiving termination letters as soon as tomorrow. We'll talk to an organization suing the Trump administration over the threat of mass federal layoffs.

Federal troops have now been deployed to Democratic-led cities, including Memphis and Chicago. We'll hear from two reporters at a Black-owned news outlet covering the militarization on the ground.

Also, Bad Bunny's Super Bowl spotlight is already turning political. After the NFL announced he'll headline the 2026 Halftime Show, Trump adviser Corey Lewandowski claimed ICE will have a presence at the game.

And later, we'll look at a new program being piloted in cities nationwide with proven strategies that have already cut shootings by up to 70 percent. We'll talk to the leaders behind the initiative.
