Stephen A. Smith hosts a powerful and passionate debate between Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and conservative commentator Anton Daniels on one of the most important questions facing America today: Who has truly failed Black America?

From jobs, education, crime, immigration, family structure, and political accountability to the role of Democrats and Republicans in shaping Black communities, this conversation pulls no punches. Anton Daniels argues that personal responsibility and accountability are the keys to success, while Tharon Johnson contends that leadership, policy, and investment in communities remain critical to improving outcomes.

The result is an intense, thought-provoking discussion that challenges conventional wisdom from both sides of the political aisle.

Do Democrats deserve credit for Black progress?
Have Republicans offered better solutions?
Is the biggest problem government policy or personal responsibility?

Watch the full debate and decide for yourself.

⁣President Obama's Full Remarks at the Obama Presidential Center Grand Opening Ceremony

The US economy backs Elon Musk’s vision for sending people to Mars, the moon and beyond with SpaceX. Elon Musk’s rocket, telecommunications and artificial intelligence company SpaceX has listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange with a value of $2.2 trillion; making him the world’s first trillionaire in the process.

Other AI companies, including Open AI and Anthropic have plans to follow suit but what does that mean for the US economy and global financial stability?


In this episode, Justin speaks to Ryan Mac - an investigative technology reporter for the New York Times who has extensive experience covering Elon Musk and other leaders in the AI field.

SpaceX’s public valuation has made millionaires of many of its past and current employees and generated around $85 billion for the company; money that Elon Musk says is essential to fulfil the company’s plans to build bases on the Moon, put data centres into orbit and send human beings to Mars.

But what happens if those plans remain unfulfilled?

As more companies offer shares to investors and the general public, Justin and Ryan explore whether America is gambling on the promise of AI? And is the US economy becoming dangerously reliant on one industry?

00:00 Intro
00:55 What does it mean to be a trillionaire?
01:41 SpaceX’s stock market debut
05:21 Why investors rushed to buy SpaceX shares
10:09 Why Elon Musk divides opinion
12:08 The promises Musk has and hasn’t delivered

Lyrics

New York City’s never looked so blue
My friends are smoking blunts in the bathroom
They say that honest love
Is a cage that makes you feel free
And all the girls at this party are so cool
That’s never been a thing that I could do
But I can’t help but imagine
What you say when you speak with me

You’re a spark in the dark
And my clothes all caught aflame
You should feel how I feel
When somebody says your name
I’m a car speeding down
The boulevard without a brake
And I want you more than
Any stupid song could ever say
I’m a heart made of wax
And I’m melting in the sun
I’m a thread on your shirt
That is coming undone
I feel right, I feel wrong
I feel totally insane
And I want you more than
Any stupid song could ever say

Walking through the park with my head high
Past all the college girls and the drunk guys
And if there is a God
He’s the bond that’s between us two
Seven nights alone and a skipped meal
I’m sleeping in my dress and my high heels
And I’m too shy to say what I see
When I dream of you
When I dream of you

You’re a spark in the dark
And my clothes all caught aflame
You should feel how I feel
When somebody says your name
I’m a car speeding down
The boulevard without a brake
And I want you more than
Any stupid song could ever say
I’m a heart made of wax
And I’m melting in the sun
I’m a thread on your shirt
That is coming undone
I feel right, I feel wrong
I feel totally insane
And I want you more than
Any stupid song could ever say

Every night like the one before
Dream of you from like 1 to 4
Positively and truly sure
Nobody’s wanted somebody more
It’s a thing that I can’t ignore
Tell your friends that you’re mine
I’m yours
With the hand on my heart I swore
Nobody’s wanted somebody more
It’s a thing that I can’t ignore
Tell your friends that you’re mine
I’m yours
With a hand on my heart I swore

I’m going crazy
I’m going mad
I want you baby so bad

You’re a spark in the dark
And my clothes all caught aflame
You should feel how I feel
When somebody says your name
I’m a car speeding down
The boulevard without a brake
And I want you more than
Any stupid song could ever say
I’m a heart made of wax
And I’m melting in the sun
I’m a thread on your shirt
That is coming undone
I feel right, I feel wrong
I feel totally insane
And I want you more than
Any stupid song could ever say

#ad I’m proud to have Bizee sponsor this video.

From $18 in the bank to a nationwide franchise sensation, James Windon transformed a desperate pandemic pivot into one of the most unique restaurant concepts in America. After COVID shut down his successful cleaning business, a simple dinner mishap led to the birth of Buena Papa Fry Bar, a Colombian-fusion restaurant that's redefining comfort food.

With zero restaurant experience but decades of entrepreneurial grit, James convinced a premium food hall to take a chance on his loaded fries concept after seven rejections. He and his wife poured their entire life savings of $40,000 into building their first location by hand, praying their twist on Colombian cuisine would resonate with customers.

Then came the TikTok video that changed everything. One viral review sent crowds flooding through their doors for months, turning this restaurant business from a survival plan into a runaway success. Within a year, this first-time restaurant owner expanded to multiple locations, landed a stadium deal, caught the attention of Shark Tank producers, and fielded thousands of franchise requests from around the globe.

In this episode, James reveals how he built a viral food concept from scratch, leveraged social media to explode his brand, and scaled from a single food hall stall to a growing restaurant empire – all while staying true to his family's Colombian roots.
