2:28:42Now Playing8.14.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Texas Redistricting Battle Rages; Gov. Newsom's 'Election Rigging' Measure; Trump Pushes PragerU
In Texas, the redistricting battle continues. Top state Republicans have announced they'll adjourn the current special legislative session early this Friday--only to immediately gavel in a brand new session that same day. We'll speak with several Texas state representatives about what's really going on and what's next.
California Governor Gavin Newsom hosted a live press conference featuring multiple state officials to announce the launch of the Election Rigging Response Act--a proposed ballot measure aimed at countering Republican-led redistricting efforts in Texas.
Also tonight, Prosecutors in Florida have announced they will not pursue charges against the sheriff's deputy involved in the controversial arrest of William McNeil Jr. We'll break down what this decision means.
Plus, outrage is growing over Donald Trump's replacement for PBS--a controversial animated video produced by PragerU. The video features a cartoon Christopher Columbus claiming "slavery was no big deal."
And as Social Security celebrates its 90th anniversary, President Trump has signed a proclamation from the Oval Office, promising to "always defend Social Security" while touting a new tax cut for seniors. Uh huh... we've got a few thoughts on that.
