The potential candidacy of Val Demings is discussed as an alternative to Kamala Harris. The hosts analyze the "Boule" dynamics at play, noting Roland Martin's support for his "sister" Kamala Harris due to their respective Greek-letter organization ties (Alpha Phi Alpha and Alpha Kappa Alpha). They argue that Demings, as a former police chief, faces the same "cop" criticism as Harris but lacks Harris's national infrastructure.
Roland Martin interviews Dr. Oliver Brooks regarding the potential devastation of COVID-19 in the African American community due to comorbidities and poor healthcare access. Mo discovers that Dr. Brooks' official bio on the National Medical Association website explicitly lists his membership in Sigma Pi Phi, also known as the Boule. This leads to a discussion on class divisions and elite secret societies within the Black community.
