  Speaker 1: All right, do you think summer's after over Labor Day?
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: It is not.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Not on One Voice. October 26th, we're sailing from Miami
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: to Bimini for six nights of sun, parties, and incredible entertainment.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Right now, sea terrace, balcony cabins are available for just.

• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Every dude who does a dangerous job is a woman
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: telling him if he ain't bringing no money home, he
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: ain't worth a damn. Like, I remember reading about these
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: tiger widows in India. They were all widows because the
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: men in that village would all go out and gather
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: food and hunt. And tigers knew. And they got to
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: hunt these men. And all the men knew, you know,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: if you go out, it's a good chance one of
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: y'all ain't coming back. But eventually, they all got killed.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: And those dudes would rather get killed than be home
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: with a woman and say, you ain't gonna bring no
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: money home. Because a tiger might growl, but a woman
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: gonna talk. So you gonna be out there. And then
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Pete Hesmith. First off, why do I need to know
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: his religion at every turn? Christians are best served when
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: your actions tell me who you are as opposed to
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: your words.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: It's show, not tell.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: But he doesn't look Christ-like without obliterating. We're going to
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: annihilate him.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Come on now. Yeah, well, even the Bible says he
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: will be known by your fruit.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: He'll know you by your works. No, no, no, no offense, Atlanta.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: All right, this is D.L.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Hughes.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: We show you a 2026 edition. Remember, if you're in
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I hate when people do this. Hey, let me call
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: you right back. I'm just in the middle of doing
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: this thing. I'll call you right back. I'm in New York.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I'll hit you back in a bit. All right, turn
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: it off. All right, peace.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: No, because last time I put it on airplane mode,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: it kept doing it.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Put it on silent. How about that? I'll put you
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: on silent. Crazy story. You remember Quentin Aaron, the blindside actor?
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys know about it. He
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: was recovering from a stroke. Yeah, he'd been in a coma.
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: Well, when he woke up from the coma, he found
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: out that his wife was still married to another man.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: He should have went back to sleep. What a way
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: to wake up, right?
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Could have been worse.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: He could have woke up and found out she had
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: a password to his phone.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Or that she.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Wasn't a chick.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the D.L. Hughley Show. We're kicking it
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: with Raphael Sadiq. I saw him.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I was getting a Yoshi's, which is a dope. Oakland's
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: so different now. Like, it's wealthy. It's like, they clearly,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: it is the model for gentrification.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Like, it is high.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like flowers to the left, ghettos to the right.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it may be.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: But it's always been like that, though.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I saw places that had to cost a million dollars. Yeah.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: In Oakland.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Well, Piedmont is always, you know, Piedmont is like the
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Nevada game. It's right in the middle of Oakland, but
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: it's not in Oakland.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: At all.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: You better not come up here if you want to
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: with that. But I'm playing Yoshi's and he comes and
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: This had on. I'm like, how does it feel together?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: The texture of your life is definitely in your music. Yeah.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: That's all I know.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: All I could talk about is like, you know, my
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: stories and everybody's stories, you know? And so people go like,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: when I wrote anniversary, like, who did you write that about?
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Like nobody. It just, I just, you know, beautiful relationships
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: I've seen. And you know, it just, anniversary just popped
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: up one day and I was just singing. I didn't
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: think about what it was or anything. And then when
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: it came out, they was like, I'm like, because the
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: line I like in anniversary was like, you know, I
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: thought I was really like killing it. I was like, damn,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: I'm like, you know.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I was like, Victoria will be no secret at the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: end of the night. I was like, oh, I'm that.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Shit.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I've said that before.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: You are.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: It works.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: It works.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: It works.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: You know, the New York Times said that you were
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: in search of a masterpiece, right? And I never would
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: have thought I never would have seen it that way.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: But I think that everybody always thought you were like
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: a dope, dope artist. But to that point, there was
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: never a lot of things. Tony, Tony, Tony, and then
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Lucy Pearl. But never a thing where you, I mean,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: everybody knew you worked with Prince. But never a thing
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: where you hung your shingle. And I think every dope
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: artist needs that, right?
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Right, of course.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that for me, I was in search
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: of just like not destroying the legacy. You know, I
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: feel like my journey of work is pretty solid, you know,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: from work with other people. So when I go in
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: the studio, I just don't want to come out with
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: something that everybody like, you know, he should have stopped.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: When he was a kid.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: You know, and then if something great comes out of that,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: then it's, you know, but I was telling somebody like
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: my seventh grade talent show at Elmhurst Junior High, I've
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Got ready. I prepared for this talent show. I was
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: playing a 45, something called Peanut Butter. And my whole
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: show was this.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I had a record.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: I play it.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: The record goes off.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I continue to play.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: And the school goes, oh, my God, he can play.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Then I played another one, Bites the Dust and Rapper's Delight.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: And the school was going nuts. And so, like, I
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: snuck the bass to school because I couldn't take it
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: out of the house. I got caught bringing it home.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: My mother whooped my ass. But they made me the headliner.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: the headliner, which I didn't know what that was at
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: that time, right? So I snuck the bass again back
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: to the school because I had to be in the show. Right. And,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: you know, I just pretty much killed the whole place.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, everybody was going crazy. So they had to
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: lock me up in the office and you hear all
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: these kids banging, blah, blah, blah, blah, trying to get
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: to me. I'm in seventh grade. There's four talent shows.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: I was strategic and waited for the last one to
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: win the trophy.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: That's the only one with the trophy. So they locked
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: me in the office. But to say that, to say
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: what I'm trying to say is, What I felt that
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: day from those people, the screams and the adulation, everything
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: I felt, I've never felt that before.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. After that, that was the biggest thing I ever felt.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Some people feel like that was dope.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: It's like, that was the first high.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I've never had that again.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Everything else, I say, everything else is just extra.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Wow. My Tony's records, playing with Mick Jagger on the Grammys,
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: felt great. But not at Elmhurst Elementary.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Seventh grade. Let me tell you something. It reminds me
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: of me. I was in a band. I was in
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: a band called Cosmic Energy. Don't listen to this story, Raphael.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I was in a band called Cosmic Energy. It's a
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: great story. I like that.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: And I was a horrible singer and a horrible performer.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: And like you, I remember the screams of people banging
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: at the door talking about, kill this.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: N * * * a, don't ever let her out. But,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: this is a true story. And I was a horrible singer.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: But when I got on stage, I knew I wanted
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: to be on stage forever.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: And you're good at it, man. We had different experiences,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: but I knew I wanted to be on stage forever.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: You're good at it. I mean, your political views are amazing.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: When I watch your show, I'm like, he about to
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: tell the truth. I'm like, I know if I'm watching you,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, it's about to go down. In some
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: kind of way, he's going to tell you something you
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: don't know or you haven't thought of in this way.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: There he is, Raphael Sadiq. Now it's time for what
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: you need to know with the one and only Sybil Wilkes.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: It's Sybil Wilkes with what we need to know. Labor
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: Day honors the contributions and sacrifices of American workers fighting
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: for fair wages, safe conditions, and economic dignity. For African-American workers,
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: the holiday holds profound significance rooted in a history of laboring...
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: from enslavement to founding groundbreaking organizations like the Pullman Porters Union.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: Trailblazers like A. Philip Randolph bridge the gap between labor
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: and civil rights, establishing protections that continue to empower workers
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: across this nation today.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: As preparations continue.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: For the November 2026 midterm elections, voting rights advocates urge
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: citizens to verify their voter registration status early. Voters can
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: check their current profile and update address or personal information
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: directly through official state secretary of state portals. Ensuring your
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: voter status is active ahead of key deadlines remains a
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: critical step to guarantee your voice is heard at the
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: ballot box.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I'm Sybil Wilkes.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: Be informed. Be empowered.
