Bankole’s Nation: EPISODE 06: Outgoing Detroit Police Chief James White Speaks Out, Sojourner’s Magazine President Russell Taylor on What Trump’s Win Means for America

Bankole Thompson interviews James White, who recently stepped down as Detroit's police chief to become the next president and CEO of the Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network, the state's largest mental health agency with an annual budget of over a billion dollars. White, a mental health specialist, discusses the intersection of mental health and policing, crime in Detroit, and the challenges facing the Detroit Police Department during his tenure.

In the second part of the interview, Bankole speaks with Rev. Adam Russell Taylor, president of the influential Sojourners magazine. Taylor reflects on the reelection of Donald Trump and its implications for the nation. He also discusses Sojourners' long-standing commitment to economic and racial justice. Having previously led the Faith Initiative at the World Bank and served as a White House Fellow, Taylor shares his views on where the Democratic Party went wrong, the persistence of racism and sexism in American society, and his deep concerns about a second Trump term. He advises the millions of Americans who oppose Trump and are now preparing for the challenges of another potential presidency.
