Also, the ICC has issued arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders on charges of war crimes. We'll also bring you our popular "Voting and Venting" segment, and today's "Big Up Let Down" features a surprising twist involving a boob tube, a sad king, and a big chef.

Seales then shifts gears to discuss Morehouse College valedictorian DeAngelo Fletcher's powerful commencement speech calling for a cease-fire in Gaza, followed by updates on the Justice Department's proposed rule to reclassify marijuana, and Snoop Dogg joining "The Voice" as a new judge. Finally, we cover primary elections in several states and a special runoff election in California's 20th congressional district. Tune in for insightful discussions and the latest news you need to know.
