Justice Clarence Thomas sits down for his first-ever podcast interview with Senator Ted Cruz on Verdict.

In part one of this special episode, the Justice shares the extraordinary story of his life — from the dirt roads of Pinpoint, Georgia, and a childhood marked by fire, poverty, and a chamber pot, to being raised by the two greatest people he has ever known: his grandparents. He talks openly about the Irish nuns who shaped him, his near path to the priesthood, the anger that consumed him after Dr. King’s assassination, the night he nearly went too far in a riot, and the quiet moment in front of the Blessed Sacrament when he asked God to take the hate out of his heart.

This conversation is the perfect companion to Ted Cruz’s brand-new book, Going Further: The Incomparable Clarence Thomas, which hits shelves on August 25th. Pre-order now at goingfurther.com.

Two sides of the aisle. One conversation about America’s future.

Stephen A. Smith brings together Democratic Representative Ro Khanna and Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders for a substantive debate on President Trump’s record, the war in Iran, immigration, taxes and the rising cost of living.

Who has the better plan for working Americans? They discuss taxing billionaires, bringing manufacturing jobs home, Trump’s proposed $5,000 dividend and whether undocumented parents should face deportation. Along the way, they find common ground and show that sharp political disagreements don’t have to prevent a respectful conversation.

LYRICS:
On that private jet, got damn
I don’t get no rest, got damn
I want my respect, got damn
I been Running up a check yeah
When we fuck it ease my stress, got damn
Way she give that neck, trim
Give this movie star a film

Carats in my ear and it clear
I been rockin shades, life’s been a blur
That shit everyday I put her in couture
Put in work, make that pussy purr
Yeah I endorse
Mansion and Porsche
DC to New York Me and a few joints bout to meet at the clear port
Look for the rolls royce

On that private jet, got damn
I don’t got no rest, got damn
I want my respect, got damn
I been Running up a check
When we fuck it ease my stress, got damn
Way she give that neck, trim
Give this movie star a film

Got damn a n**** fortunate
Everyday locked in I make M’s off my voice
I know how to win, get you in on the source
Head up with my chin up I ain’t got no other choice Had to cut my jeans, look like new Loewe jorts
The way I pick up these g’s just to spend on my lil shorty
Backyard is a sea, I could retire when I turn forty
You my type of freak while we fuck and I record it Couldn’t believe I stopped sippin codeine for my core You see, it’s a couple hunnids g’s for my aura
Good treesh, man the frost AP on a whore

On that private jet, got damn
I don’t got no rest, got damn
I want my respect, got damn
I been Running up a check
When we fuck it ease my stress, goddamn
Way she give that neck, trim
Give this movie star a film I’ll make a shining star

In an exclusive interview with India Today, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed global geopolitics, stating "India is a major global player, not a British colony." He praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a "reliable person" who doesn't succumb to pressure. Putin discussed the Ukraine war, asserting "Kiev is the mother of all Russian cities" and claiming Russia was forced to support eastern Ukraine. He also commented on U.S. relations, revealing details of a five-hour meeting with Donald Trump's envoys and acknowledging American companies' desire to resume cooperation. Regarding the economy, Putin confirmed that over 90% of Russia-India transactions are in national currencies and clarified that a single BRICS currency is not an immediate goal. The discussion also covered future collaborations in high technology and the Gaza conflict, with Putin advocating for an independent Palestinian state.

TSMC: The Company That Rules the Global Microchip Market | ENDEVR Documentary

Watch 'Inside China's Elite: Rise and Fall of Billionaires' here: https://youtu.be/f6bk_si_u0Q

A new global order is emerging around semiconductors, whose shortage—exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic—has disrupted industries, inflated prices, and heightened U.S.–China tensions. Semiconductors are vital to both civilian and military technologies, yet production is concentrated in just a few places, with Taiwan alone making 63% of the world’s chips. This dependence on a single, geopolitically fragile hub raises urgent questions about how to secure microprocessor supply and manage its growing impact on everyday life.

Stories about punk music tend to picture thin-framed white guys and girls with shaved heads, part of an angry, energetic scene born out of the working class angst of young white England in the 1970s. But the actual history of punk – as a type of music and movement – is more complicated than that.

Black punks have been an integral and pioneering part of punk history – and they're keeping the movement alive and growing today. Host Sana Saeed explores that history and talks to proto-punk band Death, musician and journalist Greg Tate, the band The 1865 and festival organizer Shawna Shawnté.

Mushrooms turned out to be more than just a hobby for Hunter Vargo. What started with a simple grow kit during quarantine became the beginning of a business that changed the direction of his life.

At 17 years old, Hunter had no fancy equipment or big budget. He learned the basics from YouTube, built a small grow setup with things he found around the house, and started growing enough mushrooms to bring to a local restaurant. That first “yes” gave him the confidence to keep going.

Over time, his mushroom business outgrew his bedroom and moved into a nearby farm, where he traded feeding animals for space to grow. Today, he supplies restaurants and one of the biggest farmers markets in Scranton, but getting there wasn’t easy. From contamination problems to long workdays and constant trial and error, every step taught him something new.

In this episode, Hunter shares what mushroom farming is really like, how he found his first customers, why relationships matter more than fancy marketing, and the lessons he learned by building a business instead of following the path he thought he had to take.
