Q: How has the administration framed the decision to strike Iran, and what are the potential long-term consequences discussed on air?

RSMS Hour 3 | Zendaya and Tom Holland rumored to be married

Q: What are the potential long-term consequences of a unilateral military strike in Iran?

RSMS Hour 3 | Defense attorney Jared Adams talks new book with Rickey Smiley

Q: Let me just ask you, what does redeeming justice really mean to you and why was now the right time to tell your story?

Redeeming justice is my way of saying I've gotten my life back and I want to use my experience to fix the system, educate others, and advocate for those who can't afford representation. The timing felt right because the justice system continues to impact families, and I want the book to be a resource and a call to action.
