(Dallas, April 18, 2012) - On Thursday, April 19th (encore First Lady broadcast Monday April 23rd 11am eastern), Syndication One News-Talk Network's talk show host Warren Ballentine will highlight an exclusive interview with First Lady Michelle Obama LIVE from the White House. Ballentine most recently visited on Monday, April 16th as part of their Summit on Entrepreneurship for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority-Serving Institutions. The White House Summit offered the opportunity for nationally syndicated talk show host Warren Ballentine to provide a national African-American audience for small business owners, government experts, and leaders from a variety of HBCUs/MSIs to discuss their numerous opportunities and facilitate solutions to challenges in under-served communities.

The First Lady spoke caringly about the ‘Joining Forces’ program that she and Jill Biden set up to assist our troops, veterans, and their families: “We want to make sure that we rally this country around our troops, veterans, and their families to make sure that we are giving them the kind of support that they are giving to this nation.”

In speaking about the special opportunity, Warren Ballentine stated: "Doing my show from the White House was such a great honor for me. The staff was OUTSTANDING and the chance to interview First Lady Michelle Obama was truly a blessing and honor. The First Lady is not only gracious, she is wise, funny, empathetic and truly in tune with the people of America. This is an experience that I will never forget!”

Ballentine brought his talk show to the White House as the Obama Administration joined forces with the Small Business Administration (SBA), and the Department of Education (DoED) as they have partnered to create awareness and increase entrepreneurial services to minority serving two and four-year institutions. They have joined forces to promote services, and explore solutions to entrepreneurship gaps in under-served communities.
