The Anthony Case, JAŸ-Z, & Stacy L. Grooms

In today’s episode, we break down three massive culture-shifting headlines before sitting down with our Guest of the Day.

First, we unpack the tragic verdict out of Collin County, Texas, where 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony was sentenced to 35 years for a fatal track-meet stabbing—a case that has reignited national conversations around race, self-defense, and jury representation. Next, we head to New York City, where President Trump’s appearance at the NBA Finals turned Madison Square Garden into a high-security fortress, shutting down fan parties and killing the historic Knicks vibe. Finally, we celebrate hip-hop royalty: JAŸ-Z announces his massive "Jay-Z 30" global stadium tour with a subtle rebrand.

Plus, we sit down with Stacy L. Grooms, President and Chairman of The PEARL Foundation, Inc., to discuss their upcoming 2026 Small Business Showcase.
