15:17Now PlayingDonald Trump just pardoned former Virginia Sheriff Scott Jenkins, a convicted dirty cop who ran a cash-for-badges scheme. Days from starting a 10-year bid, Jenkins, who sold deputy badges for cash, some to convicted felons, was set free with Trump calling him a victim of Biden’s DOJ. Marc Lamont Hill and Dr. Melissa Valle go in on what this really means for justice in America.
This explosive conversation digs into Trump’s calculated play to appease his MAGA base while attacking the justice system that dared to convict one of their own. Hill and Valle break down how white power still bends the law, and what might happen if Trump actually pardons Derek Chauvin next.
Dr. Melissa Valle is a renowned sociologist and professor at Rutgers University. Her research centers race, space, power, and inequality, and she brings that brilliance to this raw, real convo.
