• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It is the D.L. Hughley Show, your 2026 edition. So,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Hakeem Jeffries, here is him regarding the meeting with Jared Kushner.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: In the opinion of every Democrat in the United States, progressive, moderate,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: middle road, left, we believe one thing above all. These
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: people are a pack of felons and traitors. And you
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: do not meet with them. There's only one thing you
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: can do with people that you genuinely believe deep inside
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: of every fabric of your body are a pack of
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: thieves and a pack of traitors.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: That's what we believe. And so you meet with Jared Kushner.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: We need to drag his ass before a committee and
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: find out what backdoor dealing house he's got going on
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: with Steve Witkoff and everybody else.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Jared's daddy went to prison, right?
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: For fraud, right? Donald Trump is a convict, right?
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: For fraud, right? Why would you meet him? Wait, you
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: came from a fraud and you married into it. Why
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: would I ever be alone with you anyway? Yep. I
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: don't I think I think two people are on two
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: kinds of people or three kinds of people are unsafe
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: with with with anybody in the Trump realm. It is women. Yep.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: It is girls and is elected officials. You should never.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: You know what they should do? Like, you know how
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: couples that are breaking up have such a turbulent relationship.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: They have to exchange custody in front of the sheriff's department.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: They should have to do that with him, too.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: This is a no win. It is a no. Yes.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: You had a chance. You had a chance to look
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: like you were strong because he does not look very
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: strong these days.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: He does not. And people have been for a long time.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: But I will say, given the position that the Democrats
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: are in holding no power, a lot. Some of that
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: is unwarranted. Yes. Some of it is unfair because what
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: could he do?
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: I could tell you what he could not do.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Meet with that.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: That was a that was a self-inflicted wound.
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: Indeed.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Indeed.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: And he already looks funny. He does look like the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: dude from Lord of the Rings, so don't do that.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Schmeagle is what he looks like.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: He does look like that. I'm unpretentious.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: He does.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be mean. If that dude looked
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: in your window at night, you'd have a damn heart attack.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: That is a peculiar looking dude, ain't he?
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Let's carry on.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: You don't think he should have done it then?
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: I do not think he should have done it.
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: I think he knows just as well, if not more
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: than anyone else, that there's nothing Jared Kushner has to talk.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: About to you.
• 2:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: You know, his daddy was a fraud. He's a fraud.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: You know that the.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Man who he mama calling Clay, his father in law,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: all of that.
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: And you know these things because he said as much
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: over the years. So in my head, I'm thinking if
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: you already know these guys have a horrible reputation, they
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: are not to be trusted anymore. If anything, my problem
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: isn't so much the meeting, it's the secrecy.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Why under the cloak of darkness?
• 3:02
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Why that? Why behind closed doors? Cloak of darkness was
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: my stripper name.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Oh, it was? Okay.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I thought you said it was Big Pop. Yeah, but
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: that was my pseudonym. Oh, you were that good? You
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: had to get a pseudonym?
• 3:17
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: You know, Gallagher had two, you know, he had two people,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying? The question we're asking, do
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: you think that Hakeem Jeffries should have met in secret
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: with Jared Kushner? Skip, do you? Not in secret. Hell no.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I do definitely understand that you have to meet with people.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: First off, I don't think you should have ever met
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: with Kushner because he's not in the cabinet at all.
• 3:41
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: And it should have been a secret.
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: You should have did like what, if you want to meet,
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: let's meet in.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Front of Congress.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Put your hand on the Bible.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: And let's talk about it. You should have said some
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: slick Brooklyn stuff. Like, we'll meet soon enough. Oh, wow.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: That's what you could have said.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: What are they saying? Because I'm not, that ain't my thing. Laina,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: what were they saying in Brooklyn?
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what were they saying in Brooklyn?
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: Oh, wow. No.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: That is the Bronx. You don't pay attention.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: That's the Bronx. You don't order your martini stuff.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: You know what it is with Laina? She's never where
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: we are. Wherever we are, either she's coming or just left.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: You gave me an assignment and I'm trying to come in.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I know, baby. But, you know, you got to keep
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: one into the streets, baby. Keep your antenna up.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: I got you next time. Keep one into the streets. Now,
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: that's what they were saying.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: She is the least curious Dominican woman I've ever seen
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: in my life. Leave our Dominican Dolly Parton alone. Dominican
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Dolly Parton. And I will always love you.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Sing it with a Spanish accent.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: You know what? Yesterday, first off, I want to be sincere.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Dolly Parton was a wonderful woman. Yes. And the thing
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that I said about her.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Being physically endowed, you know, was Bushley. It was beneath
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: my station. And I don't apologize because I meant it,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: but I don't. I could see how it might not
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: have been the, you know, structure.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Well, here's the wonderful thing about it. She would have
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: made fun of it, too.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 5:17
  Speaker 10: She knew it was true.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: She was very self-deprecating.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Man, I love her.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: But that's what made her so lovable. She always made
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: fun of herself.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: She was like, you know, it costs a lot of
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: money to look this cheap.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: She said, how long does it take you to do
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: your hair? She said, I'm never there. I don't know.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Gotta love her.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Gotta love her.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: So we're going to ask the question. Here's a little audio.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: We're not going to be nice to you.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: We don't like you. And we don't.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Want to f * * * with them unless we.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Absolutely have to. No more meetings. No more bulls * * *. Well,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I do not trust anybody from Trump because they will
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: blackmail you. Yes, they will. Yeah, they'd be on tape
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: that in demand. You should. Man, I'm telling you.
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: And I'm telling you, it never, ever works out for you,
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: even if you have the best intentions. You have a
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: very good friend who went to meet with Trump. supposedly
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: for a very good reason, good intentions, and they turned
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: it into a circus and made him look bad.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I ain't never seen him make it look good.
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: And it'll make you look like people... I'm not saying
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: that Jeffries did anything wrong, but it puts you under light,
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: like what kind of side deal you cut.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: You got the bag now, too, because anytime you make
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: a vote, that's going to be a little controversial.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: He would have known better to talk to Nancy Pelosi
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: like that. He would have known better. I know this, bro. Uh-huh.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: see the bra got him impeached remember that no no
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: no we gonna have an impeachment I don't think Hakeem
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: cause here's the thing I think that telling us we're
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: gonna go where the facts lead the facts are going
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to lead to mass corruption and if you're not willing
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to do nothing about it don't ask the question you
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: know don't ask the question if you're not gonna do
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: anything about it we don't need just hearing committee hearings
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: do something about it and I said this before and
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I'll say it again if the election is so sweeping
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and such a referendum that they, much like when Reagan
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: defeated Carter and there was the same things in the Zeitgeist,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: people don't remember that it was Iran, the Iran hostage
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: crisis and inflation. And Reagan won all but one state.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, I just think, That the mood of
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the country. But, you know, he's arguing now to either
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: put his name on the JFK building or he'll they'll destroy.
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: Tear it down.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't. I'm like, come on, man. So but
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: but I think that's play you messing with. I think
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: that I think that it is it's hard to be
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: excited to go to the polls when you see all
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: of this stuff.
• 7:53
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: What kind of president has ever done anything stupid like that? No, no, no.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: And why start with Canada right now when everything's already
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: sky high?
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: And Canada ain't punking out.
• 8:05
  Speaker 9: No, not at all.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Neither did Iran.
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: They were like, mess around and find out.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: You think that Hakeem Jeffries should have met in secret
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: with Jared Kushner. We're going right to the phones.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: Hakeem does need to meet with them in private because
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: if he meets with them in public, they're just going
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: to turn it into an opportunity for publicity stunt.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: So we need to start.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: Playing their game. If they're going to play in the mud,
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: we need to get in the mud with them. And
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: somebody named Hakeem, he needs to show us how he
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: earned that name and represent for us this time.
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: At one point, I was a fan of Hakeem Jeffries,
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: but I got my doubts now. Because why would you
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: meet with someone who has no authority in the government?
• 8:50
  Speaker 11: That's just a wasted meeting. You might as well have
• 8:53
  Speaker 11: met with me. He has no authority. And you know
• 8:58
  Speaker 11: who his family is. So if you can't get anything done...
• 9:05
  Speaker 11: You know, that's my problem with the Democratic Party. They
• 9:10
  Speaker 11: just sit back. They just take, just respond. They don't
• 9:16
  Speaker 11: ever take the initiative. Okay, call out what the Republicans
• 9:20
  Speaker 11: are doing. Call out what Donald Trump is doing. Call
• 9:23
  Speaker 11: out how much money Jared Kushner has made. Call all
• 9:27
  Speaker 11: that out and let people know because people need to
• 9:31
  Speaker 11: know about this.
• 9:33
  Speaker 12: Well, I just believe that he did what he thought
• 9:36
  Speaker 12: was necessary. If and when they do, the Democrats do
• 9:42
  Speaker 12: get control of the House of Representatives again, he's going
• 9:45
  Speaker 12: to be the speaker. He's going to be heading up
• 9:47
  Speaker 12: the entire agenda for that body of government. So he
• 9:52
  Speaker 12: needs to know what he's going to be up against.
• 9:54
  Speaker 12: And I think it's smart if that's the reason that
• 9:56
  Speaker 12: he went and did this meeting. I think it's a
• 9:58
  Speaker 12: smart move if that's why. But again, we really don't
• 10:03
  Speaker 12: know what happened during the meeting. And that's the problem
• 10:05
  Speaker 12: of the whole thing is that we just don't know
• 10:07
  Speaker 12: what happened. I'm hoping that it's strategy.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm hoping for.
• 10:11
  Speaker 12: I'm hoping it's strategy because these are some wily individuals
• 10:16
  Speaker 12: that have proven that they are able to get out
• 10:19
  Speaker 12: of all of their legal obligations. So I hope he
• 10:22
  Speaker 12: has something up his sleeve.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: To deal with that. What do you think? Do you
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: think that that was a dumb move? Anything you got
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to explain to people after you did it is probably
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: pretty dumb.
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: But it was a secret meeting. We weren't supposed to
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: know about it. That's the problem.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: That's what I said.
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: And it leaked and it got out.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Now you got to come up with something. I don't
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: think white people should be able to have secrets anymore.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I don't. Not a secret guard, not a secret recipe,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: not secret herbs and spices. Secret sauce. Nothing. We've had
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: enough of your secrets.
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: And particularly these people. But that's what I'm saying.
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: I don't understand why he would do it in private.
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: As soon as they said, okay, but we're going to
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: do this in secret. He should have said, you know what?
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: You're going to meet with a rapist and a pedophile privately.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You should have had somebody with you just in case.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Because you never know when they may turn.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Oops. All right, we're going to go to phones.
• 11:12
  Speaker 9: I think he should have never done that.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: He should have never done that. Unless he recorded that situation,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: they're going to come back and say exactly the opposite
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: when he starts talking about what the meeting was about.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: You cannot trust these people whatsoever. You should not be
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: talking to them. I understand maybe, I don't know what
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: the reason could be, but these people are not trustworthy.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: You do not need to work with them. And Krishna,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Krishna is not even part of the administration.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: So why are you talking to him?
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God, these people are.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: Getting on my nerves.
• 11:53
  Speaker 13: Yeah, first of all, I want to say RIP to
• 11:55
  Speaker 13: Dolly P. And thanks for all her grace and philanthropy.
• 11:59
  Speaker 10: And pretty much, I can say, plus the main thing,
• 12:04
  Speaker 10: all these other people, man, we got to stop acting
• 12:06
  Speaker 10: like when some of these laws and bills get passed
• 12:09
  Speaker 10: with people like him that talk to people behind closed
• 12:12
  Speaker 10: doors and all that, all of them work for the
• 12:14
  Speaker 10: same government, brother.
• 12:15
  Speaker 13: We need to give up on this Democrat thinking better
• 12:18
  Speaker 13: than the Republicans thinking Because when they passed some of
• 12:20
  Speaker 13: these things, like the COVID vaccines, all of them got
• 12:23
  Speaker 13: money from all three of those companies that made.
• 12:26
  Speaker 10: All three vaccines.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: So all of them credited from inside information.
• 12:30
  Speaker 13: He's no different from whatever else.
• 12:31
  Speaker 9: That's in there.
• 12:32
  Speaker 13: And yeah, like the last vote, they took for.
• 12:36
  Speaker 10: the policy not to merge Israel's government with our government
• 12:39
  Speaker 10: when it came to the military. I think Democrats still voted.
• 12:42
  Speaker 11: For that to get passed, but they never publicized who
• 12:44
  Speaker 11: the ones that defend.
• 12:46
  Speaker 13: All of them landed together, brother, so he's just trying
• 12:48
  Speaker 13: to figure out a way to make more money just
• 12:49
  Speaker 13: like the rest of us.
• 12:51
  Speaker 9: On Hakeem Jeffries, he's not crazy and he's real smart.
• 12:55
  Speaker 9: He knows what he's doing. Jed Kushner can have an
• 12:58
  Speaker 9: appointment or talk with him all day long. But Hakeem
• 13:02
  Speaker 9: Jeffries is real smart. I want everybody to realize that.
• 13:06
  Speaker 9: And he's probably getting all the thoughts from Kushner instead
• 13:09
  Speaker 9: of giving Kushner all his thoughts. And I want to
• 13:12
  Speaker 9: give a shout out also to my man on the show,
• 13:15
  Speaker 9: Skip Cheatham. Used to be here in Mobile, Alabama on
• 13:18
  Speaker 9: the radio. Shout out to Skip Cheatham.
