  Speaker 3: you are.

  Speaker 2: Like a mug. I saw you on The View.

  Speaker 3: I saw some of the excerpts from Angie Martinez. And
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: it's really poignant and it's very emotional. And actually, as
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: long as I've been working with you, it's a side
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: of you that I've never seen.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: So it's pretty interesting. Wow.
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: Did you dance down the aisle on Jennifer Hudson's show?

  Speaker 3: How the hell you not gonna dance down the aisle?

• 1:28
  Speaker 1: birthday to Lee Iacocca, Chrysler correspondent. A quality is job one.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: We don't say that anymore.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Hey, no. Don't come into the office. Talk to us online.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: What we say now.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: We got a great show lined up for you. Of course,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Jasmine's going to have what's trending. I'm going to have
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: a little note from the GED section.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: It's coming up in a bit. It's the D.O. Hughley Show. Jasmine.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: What man?
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Tell these good people what's trending.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Well, Kelly Clarkson is giving a little store the blues.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: So this is a turnout. It was something so small
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: and it has gotten so big. Now, the controversy is
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: based around, I guess, the debate of whether a celebrity
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: social media call out is fair game. So here's what happened.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Kelly Clarkson is in Brooklyn. She goes to a local business,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: small business called Art of Play. She sees this dancing bird.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know why she would want it, but that's
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: her business and she can afford it. It's $ 15, 000.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: So she wants them to take it down so she
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: can take a look at it because she's like, I
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: really like it.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: I want to buy it. They didn't think she could
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: afford it because they didn't know who she was. So
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: they treated her like a stepchild. It was basically like,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: you can't really afford that. Let me show you something
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: over here. Did you see the price tag on that?
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: So she got pissed off and called it her pretty
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: woman moment and walked out. All this time later, this
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: whole conversation has come back around again.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: But the store said, no, that's not the case.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: That was just a one of a kind kind of
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: automated thing that was permanently attached to the wall. And
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: we were basically trying to show her something similar. She
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: called B.S., She was like, I know what I know.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: And I know I wanted to buy it. Y'all didn't
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: know who I was. So she called them out on
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: social media. So now they've been kind of going back
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: and forth. And this store has been coming up with
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: all of these excuses saying, no, this ain't what happened.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: But they keep changing their story.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Watch how you treat people. Watch how you treat people.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: And you know what it is?
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: What are you going to say, Junior? I said a
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: piece is now $ 15 million instead of $ 15, 000.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: So she didn't get to buy it.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Of course.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Of course. You can't.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: So listen, I think that one of the biggest problems
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: businesses have is the.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: People that work with the point of contact, those people.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: It's those people.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I don't care if it's a ticket counter or cashier.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: It's the people with the horrible attitudes that don't want
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to do those jobs.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Anyway, they really want to be an influencer or a
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: model or an actress or a rapper or whatever it is.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: And they're in those positions and they're the first point
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: of contact. Mostly all the people that I run across,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: it's a very rare section where somebody's doing their job
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and they're just gleeful and good at it, right?
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: And you can, but it's, and I shouldn't, I don't
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: want to be generalized. There are a lot of people
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: like that, but there are a lot of people who
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: aren't either.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: And also it's a lot of young kids or younger
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: people who don't know some of these celebrities, right? Cause
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: you know how it is, you know, you see them
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: on TV, they're all glam, but when you see them
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: in person, they're just regular, you know, dress regular. And
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: you know, Kelly Clarkson, I've never known, I've never heard
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: anything bad about her. I've never heard anyone say anything
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: bad to her. She's a genuine down to earth person
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: from what I can see and, And I can imagine
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: her walking in with her sweats on and her T-shirt.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: She's like, oh, I want to buy that bird.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: And it was like, ma'am, you can't afford this bird.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: When you walk into a store right now, if you've
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: got a brick and mortar store of any type, be blessed.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Anybody walks in.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Be blessed. Absolutely. For sure.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Nobody does that anymore.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: And the other thing is never make the assumption about
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: the person that you are serving because you don't know
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: anything about their bank account. And the fact that Kelly
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Clarkson got a lot of money.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Especially nowadays, people are casual.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: You got these people that tech people that make all
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: this money. I've seen, you know, Texas, you see these
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: dirty jeans and T-shirts.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: And maybe billionaires walking up in there.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I tell you what. I tell you what,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you what, this is a dead giveaway.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: They're going to have something that gives it away.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Something.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I don't care if it's a dirty designer shoe. They
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: have a bracelet or a wing. That t-shirt might be raggedy,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: but it's probably worth $ 2, 000. So in the retail space,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: it should behoove you to know two things. Look at
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: somebody's hands and how they keep themselves. Because generally, if
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you're broke, you ain't going to have dirty nails. It's
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of things you ain't going to do.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: But the overall point is when somebody walks into a
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: brick and mortar of any type these days, you have
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: something that's very rare. A customer coming on site and
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: treat them as nice as you can and try to
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: make you some bread until you get on.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Your way to being that influence you're going to be
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: famous for.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Because I tell you what, you'd much rather have that
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: fifteen thousand dollars singing, dancing bird off the wall than
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: still there in the store.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Yes, indeed. Anyway, finally trending. There's a big stink on
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: social media, too, about Hillary Swank. Congratulations, by the way.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: She is pregnant with her third child, but she's 52
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: after having twins at 48.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: And people are like, you too old to be having babies.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: And oh, my God. Too late. My thing is, congratulations.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: You had a bit.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: You're pregnant again at 52, regardless of how. congratulations you
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: know how you know how it don't matter you know
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: how whatever is at you at your avail you know
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: how yeah i'm not mad at it don't matter she's
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: pregnant she got the access she got the access she
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: got she got everything to do i ain't mad at
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: her million dollar baby that's what's true.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah hell yeah yeah she keep this up she gonna
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: be in the bible We discussed this a bit yesterday
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: in the note from the GED section.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: We talked about the I specifically talked about that.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: There was a war on woke and DEI specifically and
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: everybody from Bill Maher to every podcaster to the governor
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: of Florida. You know, everybody had enacted these policies that
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: they thought were designed to take things that people didn't
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: deserve away. And subsequently, we have about half a million
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: black women that have lost their job in all kinds
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: of industries under the idea that they didn't necessarily deserve
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: what it is they had, that it was given to
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: them by some set aside. It wasn't merit that owned it.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: And it's important to point out that the number one recipients,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the people who benefited the most from DEI was not
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: black women.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: It was white women. They benefited the least.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: And if you're going to get rid of DEI, you
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have the Bimbo press secretary from yesterday, the one
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: who lied about her qualifications. She said she passed the
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: bar in China, which is she must be China. She
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: must be Panda Express and come to find out she
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: failed it in California.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Nobody, nobody.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, the only persons, the people
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: that have been relieved of duty from the Trump administration
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: are all the incompetent women, not the incompetent men, all
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: incompetent women. It is insulting that half a million black
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: women lost their job only so bimbos like that could
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: keep theirs. How is Darlene, how is Lindsey Graham's sister
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: ever in consideration for being a senator?
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Anywhere. Anywhere.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: But I guess for South Carolina, that does make sense
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: because the expectation for their state is so low. They
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: must be low if you can actually consider having somebody
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: like that helm your Senate. But the people who benefited
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: the most from DEI are the ones who have the
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: jobs that they shouldn't have.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: The actual people who destroyed marriage. The actual people who
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: did it.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: And after yesterday, when people were rightfully coming after a
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: woman who was ill-prepared to do her job, that had
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: to be the worst first day ever. All you had
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: to do was lie with a straight face. Sean Hannity
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: and the lack of saying people are being too hard
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: by questioning our qualifications. Wasn't it Tucker Carlson that questioned
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and wanted to see Kataji Brown Jackson's transcripts? Wasn't it
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the people from the Trump administration that talked about how
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Kamala failed the bar examination? Isn't it them who always
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: insult the intelligence of Joy Reid?
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Isn't it?
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: And various other black females, isn't it always them who
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: question them? Now, you don't want this ill-prepared, ill-prepared woman
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: to get her bona fides question when they did it
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to them all the time. The bottom line is the
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: country lost qualified women in pursuit of these bimbos who
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: don't have any idea what they're doing and is suffering
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: for it, is suffering for it. There is no way
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: that that woman in hell should be a spokesperson for anybody.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: There is no way that Darla.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Who is running for Senate in South Carolina should be
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: a senator anywhere.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: But that's what happens. You just want people.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: For their looks and what comes out of their mouths
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and not what's in their head. How dare you talk
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: about somebody's qualifications when the only thing they did to
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: be qualified was be amenable and white.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: That's a little note from the GED section. It's the D.L.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Hughley Show.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: She's jazzed. She's smiling.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: It's the Jazzy Report on the D.L. Hughley Show.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Regulators find Bank of America more than $ 1. 2 billion over
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: widespread failures and the safeguards against money laundering and other
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: illicit financial activity. The Treasury Department said the nation's second
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: largest bank failed to properly monitor trillions of dollars in
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: transactions today. and to report more than $ 5 billion in
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: suspicious activity, including transactions potentially tied to Chinese money laundering networks.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Of course. Nothing says America like greed and fraud. Nothing. Corruption. Nothing.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: They got their name. Nothing says like corruption. So they
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: got the name right. Bank of America. For sure.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Also layoffs.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Netflix is reportedly laying off about 1,000 workers, the streaming
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: giant's biggest cut since 2022. Staff were told Wednesday, yesterday,
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: that about 6% of the workforce within product, tech, legal,
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: and human resources was being slashed. The company has been
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: struggling to keep audiences engaged, but still has the most
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: subscribers out of any other streaming service.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: This is so funny how the industry changes so fast.
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: So fast.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: It changes so fast, so fluid. You did all that,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: maybe you shouldn't have bought all those podcasts.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah. How about that?
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: At one time, they were the only game in town.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Now they're not.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Now everybody's straight.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: There's so much to choose from. You know what I mean?
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: And they're expensive as hell, too. So, hey, bye.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Gotta stay abreast of it. And they steal it all
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: the time.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Would you watch a televised execution? Would you watch a
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: televised execution? I don't think that we live in a
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: country right now where any number of people secretly have
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: photo albums way up in the attic or down in
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the basement of their grandfathers attending lynchings. So Jesus was
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: publicly executed. I think that we're a macabre society in general.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: But would you watch a televised execution? Trump said he
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: won't do it. I knew that it was going to
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: never happen because they're only only religious nations run by
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: religious zealots would ever do it.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: And guess what?
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: We're a nation run by religious zealots. So I guess
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: it makes sense. But would you watch a televised execution? 877-242-2426.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Also, to step on Twitter at D.O. Hughley Radio or
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: X or on Facebook, the D.O. Hughley Show. And the
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: website is the D.O. Hughley Show dot com.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: So would you watch a televised execution as being proposed
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: by the secretary of war with his incompetent nincompoop ass?
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: We're going to go to social media. What do they
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: say about this, Skip?
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: Chuck in Waco says, hell no.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: Why would I watch something like that?
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: But I do think we should have to see the
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: consequences of our actions. We start wars. We blow up
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: school children. We should see it.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: We're a very violent nation, and we always have these warnings.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: But we allow it to happen.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: We don't want you to see what happened. And I think— Obviously,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: a public execution is right in line for people who
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: are brutal and narrow minded.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: I remember when Facebook first came out, like first, you know,
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: because they didn't have all the guardrails and everything. And
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: I clicked on something and it was something in the
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: Middle East when they and they showed you could decapitate.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: They took it. I was like, is that real? Oh,
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: my God. Dude, they showed it on. I was like, man.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Or you could have just rented five faces of death.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: You could have done that too. That was a big,
