  Speaker 1: I have a wish turn? I want to do my part.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Have a little tiny note from the GED section. It's
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the D.L. Hughley Show. Jazz man. What man? Tell these
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: good people what's trending. Oh, my God.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: This whole thing with Stephen A. Smith, Jemele Hill and
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: Carrie Champion.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: My goodness. Stephen A. Smith.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, well, of course, in case you don't know by now,
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: he went over and he did their podcast. And, you know,
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: he was there, he says, for three hours. He answered
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: all the questions and whatnot. And so, of course, you know,
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: Carrie Champion hopped on and was basically like, we don't
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: know if we benefited us or not. You know, now
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: there is some, you know, me and DL had a
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: back and forth because he was like, they did benefit.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: You know, their numbers went from, I think, six or
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: eight thousand to like thirty thousand and all of these
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: views and whatnot.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: My thought process was I didn't like the posture that
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Stephen A.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Smith took when he walked into the room.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: You could tell he had no goal of rectifying whatever,
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: you know, you know, image or reputation he had developed.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: I think they had some things that they needed to
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: get off their chest. But what I did not like
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: the most and people on social media agree is. is
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: that even though, yes, he did benefit them, the way
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: he was so arrogant as in saying, look what I
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: did and look what I did. And it reminded me
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: so much of what he said about the NABJ.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Same thing. Look what I did for you. Look what
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I did for you. Look what I did.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: I'm like, OK, I thought the whole purpose was coming
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: together to kind of squash whatever beef there might be
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: between him and the black community. And obviously that was
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: not what the goal was. And I don't I can't
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: really speak for them. Jamel and Kerry, but it didn't
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: seem as if that they came into it with the
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: idea of squelching whatever issue that was had.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I just think he came to be Stephen A.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Smith.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: He did. He did.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: And the way he sat there and, you know, it
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: was just the height of arrogance for me.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: And I didn't like that.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I saw the clip when she was talking about a
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Kerry champion was like, I didn't like the way, you know,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: you said that you were responsible for getting me my
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: job and everything.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: And I'm qualified. And he said, no, there's a lot
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: of qualified people. He said, you are qualified. You are
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: more than qualified. He said, but there's a lot of
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: qualified people don't get to break. And I gave you
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the break. Like it was basically he was saying that.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: So if nothing else, it was good podcasting.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: It was good podcasting for sure. I mean, but still. Yeah.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Now, the other thing we we've had this conversation before,
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: but when I tell you that it went in to
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: overdrive over the weekend and And that's this Lindsay Clancy trial.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: People are irritated about this because they're saying there was
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: a mother who was also, you know, I guess from
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: wherever she's from, a black woman, though, out of Massachusetts,
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: who did the exact same thing.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I was only one kid, though, with hers. It was
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: two kids. It was two kids. It wasn't three.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Did the exact same thing. I think her boys were
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: like five and eight.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Same situation. She used the same defense, only it didn't
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: work for her.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: And the other thing that you add to Lindsay Clancy's
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: case is the fact that she did all of this research.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: She did all this research and people are saying, OK,
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: it takes at least it takes a little while to
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: strangle someone.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: You can't just do it. And it's quick.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: So that means you not only strangled one of your
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: children for a long amount of time for in order
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: for them to be unalived. Then you decided, let me
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: go do this three more, two, two more times.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: And of course, when you if you watch some of
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: the trial, you saw some of the experts was like, no,
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: this don't fall under that category.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: This don't fall under the category of postpartum. This ain't
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: what that is. And so, you know, and of course,
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: the conversation online is, you know, this is now set precedent.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: that women can't handle high-pressure situations because hormones. This now says, President,
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: a police officer can't be a female. As a matter
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: of fact, neither can in the military service because who knows?
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: The hormones could be out of place.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Matter of fact, we are not going to allow women
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: to have guns because hormones could make them. We don't
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: know when they're going to snap and shoot everybody. It's
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: a number of things that this is at issue here.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: But most importantly, the fact that it was a white
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: woman and she got away with it. I mean, of course,
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: they're going to revisit the situation to see if they're
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: even going to approach for a retrial or not.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: So, I don't know. We'll see. But that's what's trending. So,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I grew up on 135th and Avalon in Los Angeles.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: And I remember my mother and her friends on the street,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: they were always pickling something or canning something or preserving something.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I don't ever recall going
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: to the grocery store for vegetables at all. I don't
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: think I did that until I became an adult. But
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: she grew greens, and she grew tomatoes and peaches, and
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: she grew corn, and she grew onions, and just everything
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: we needed, she grew it in the backyard. And I
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: hated it. Hated it. She would get eggs from a
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: little Mexican lady on Main Street, and the eggs were
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: always a different color, and sometimes they'd be a feather
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: sticking out of them. It was always weird. And she
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: kept everything in the deep freezer. And I resented it.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: And I thought, well, when we grow up, I'm never
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: going to do that again. I'm not going to grow stuff.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Everything I get is going to come from the store.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fruit was so. But like if
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: you were if you were walking home and you wanted
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: fruit at all, you could just climb a fence and
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: get it every every neighbor. I mean, it's California. So
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: fruit was everywhere. It was, you know, oranges. It was apples.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: It was pears. It was plums. Every every black dude
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I knew growing up in my neighborhood had a dog
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: bite for trying to hop over a fence to get
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: some fruit. I remember we never went to the store
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: grocery store to get anything other than like meat and
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: bread and cereal. Everything came out of that garden and
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I hated it. And they were always pickling and preserving
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: and canning.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Never.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: The only time I ever had ice cream from a
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: store was when it was like a birthday party. You
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: would only get that Neapolitan ice cream. And I was
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: talking to my daughter the other day. She lives in Atlanta.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: And I asked her what she was doing. And she
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: said that she was ordering a half a cow. And
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: her and her friends were ordering half and a cow because,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you know, the food situation is so bad. It's so expensive.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: And it's so tainted. They don't trust it anymore. And
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I realized then that she was buying a deep freezer,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: which is what we grew up with. We had a
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: deep freezer. I didn't even know it was a deep freezer.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: We called it a lay-down refrigerator. And it was always
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: in the garage. And it always had something. Like every
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: time my father's friend would go get something that they shot,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: it would be in the white paper in the freezer.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: And it was always peas or something they put up.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: And I didn't like it because it made me feel
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: like we weren't doing well. And what they were doing
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: is feeding us. My mother used to say, the man
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: who starves you, who feeds you, can starve you. They
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: were all about making sure that they could eat no
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: matter what. And I remember growing up and thinking that
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: that was silly, that you could get everything you needed
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: from the store. And now I know they were right.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: They were right. They had anything you couldn't get from her,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: somebody else had. If you had these peas and I
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: had this, it was a collaborative communal thing and they
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: knew how to feed their families. Whereas I grew up
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: not knowing how to. Everything I needed came from the store.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: So it's full circle to see my daughter start to
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: act like my mother used to. She grows things in
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: her garden. She puts stuff up. She pickles stuff. She's
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: putting stuff in the deep freezer. And it's amazing to
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: me To admit, like, you always think your parents were
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: doing things that you never understood. And they would always say,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: when you get older, you will. So I said all
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: of that to say, tomorrow I'm buying a damn deep freezer.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: That's a little note from the GED sexy. It's the D.L.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Hughley Show. She's jazzed. She smiles. It's the Jazzy Report
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: on the D.L.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: Hughley Show.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: The Defense Health Agency has established a hormone screening pathway
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: for female service members, directing providers to screen women annually
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: for hormonal dysregulation and establishing clinical pathways for problems ranging
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: from menstrual irregularities to menopause. The guidance takes effect immediately
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: and expires one year after its September 2nd signature.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Whoa.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they check it. They're trying to figure out who
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: is fertile and who ain't. I wonder why.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Well, fertility is at an all-time low, right? Yes, it is.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Compared to years past. Absolutely.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: But doesn't that sound strangely familiar? If you saw The
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: Handmaid's Tale, you know that's exactly what it was about.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Fertility issues. No one was able to have babies except
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: for a very few. And how do you think they
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: track that?
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Yep. I'll just keep moving. You look cute in red.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Experts are testing. No one will be in blue. Trust me.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Maybe green. You never know.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: Anyway, experts are testing a skin and kidney cancer drug
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: that they say can help speed up recovery in heart
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: attack patients and cut the risk of a second attack.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: Researchers have found that an injection of the drug increases
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: levels of a rare white blood cell that protects the
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: heart by reducing scarring and inflammation.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Hmm. Boy, there's science. One drug always does something for
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: something else. Yeah, boy. Hopefully they don't cancel it. Oh,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: then there's that. This is interesting. The teacher was probably
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: because he read out loud the N-word into Kelly Mockenberg,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: which was a part of the school curriculum. Here is
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the audio.
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: Be freaking kidding me. You used the N-word in class.
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: I want you to explain to the audience exactly what happened.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: I was walking around my classroom, pacing the room, and
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: I overheard this conversation between these two girls. And they
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: were talking about the book To Kill a Mockingbird. And
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: they're currently assigned to read that in their English class.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: And they were talking about how their teacher makes them
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: skip over a certain word.
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: We all know what the word is, right?
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: It's the N-word.
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: I won't say it here, but it's the N-word.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: Sure. And I just thought that's silly. And so I
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: calmly just expressed my disagreement. And a girl asked me
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: point blank in front of the class. Well, if you
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: were reading the book, would you say the word? And
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: I sort of laughed, but I said, of course. And
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: right then a boy whipped out the book. He had
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: it on the exact page. And he said, okay, then
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: do it. And so I took the book and I
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: wanted to display for my students that you can read
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: books honestly.
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: You don't have to, you shouldn't have to fear the consequences.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: And let's just undo this lie you've been told that
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: if you're white or whatever, that you can't read a book.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: I believe as an educator, it's my job to help
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: facilitate critical thinking. And I tried to make it a
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: lesson about context versus intent. You know, it's intent of
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: our words, that really makes something racist or not, not
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: reading it out.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Of a book.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Should the teacher have been fired? All right. Well then
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: fire anybody to fire, you know, anything by a fire,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: anybody who read anything by Mark Twain or any other literate,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: like suffice it to say that American literature is permeated
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: with the word.
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Well, read a, read a, read a, a script by,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: you know, Tarantino, Tarantino, read a script by him.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I think Mark Twain and Huckleberry Finn, they said, the
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: N-word 250 times. And then they tried to go back
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and do it in a bit of business history. They
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: tried to take it out and replace it with the
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: word slave. Now, I don't know about you, I'd much
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: rather be a n * * * a than a slave. Like,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: if you call me n * * * a, I
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: can still go to my house. You call me slave,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I got to go with you on now. Yes, for sure.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: So do you think he should have been fired? That's
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the question we're posing to you.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: 877-242-2426.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Also, this is up.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: On Twitter, DL Hughley Radio, or on Facebook, the DL
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Hughley Show. And the website is thedlhughleyshow.com. This is interesting.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: The teacher was fired because he read out loud the
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: N-word into Kelly Mockenberg, which was a part of the
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: school curriculum. He read the whole book. He read the
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: book in its entirety, the way that it appears in
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the literature. You mean the way it was written.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: The way it was written. And so do you think
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: he should have been fired? We're going to go to
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: our social media platform. Jasmine, what are they saying out there?
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: So Destiny out of Birmingham says, I do not think
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: he should be fired because that's the way it was written.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: It's one of those things that is. you know, a
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: red herring that people grab onto when white men get go,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I can't.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Say what I want.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: I feel inhibited. I, you know, if it's already in
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the book and it's already in the school curriculum, what,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: what are people doing? Why, why is this even the thing? Right.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: If you don't want them to say, take it out
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the book.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Well, you want me to take the book out the curriculum.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: You had no problem taking the bluest eye out.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: Well, the thing is though, I think that's, I don't
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: think that's the solution. Because I think I don't like
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: the idea of banning books very much in the same
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: way I saw in one school in Philly. They were
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: trying to ban To Kill a Mockingbird along with Mark
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: Twain's book as well. I don't think you should ban books.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: The books were written. They were written by men during
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: a period of time. And those words were used. So
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: and they're used today. But I think I think you
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: read it. I think it's all contextual. I think if
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: you're saying it as a racial.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Right. But I'm saying I'm. If you're saying it to
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: me in person, you're saying this. Right.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: You do.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: But you're not Mark Twain either. But the point is,
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: you're no more. But the point is, I think that's
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: the problem. We're all afraid to to face. and accept
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: what is historical. It is true. This book, and it
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: won a gazillion prizes and has been lauded by other
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: literary people.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I think you read the book as is.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: And if you're having a regular conversation and you're like, oh,
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: you ends in here won't do the work.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's a whole different situation. Yeah, or that's also
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: a contract negotiation. That's what I'm saying, yeah. That sounds
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: like a staff meeting, doesn't it? Sorry, my bad. It
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: is the deal. Let's go to the audio. So this
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: is an audio.
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: Be freaking kidding me. You use the N word in class.
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: I want you to explain to the audience exactly what happened.
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: I was walking around my classroom, pacing the room, and
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: I overheard this conversation between these two girls. And they
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: were talking about the book To Kill a Mockingbird. And
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: they're currently assigned to read that in their English class.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: And they were talking about how their teacher makes them
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: skip over a certain word.
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: We all know what the word is, right?
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: It's the N-word.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: I won't say it here, but it's the N-word.
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: Sure. And I just thought that's silly. And so I
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: calmly just expressed my disagreement. And a girl asked me
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: point blank in front of the class. Well, if you
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: were reading the book, would you say the word? And
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: I sort of laughed, but I said, of course. And
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: right then a boy whipped out the book. He had
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: it on the exact page. And he said, OK, then
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: do it. And so I took the book and I
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: wanted to display for my students that you can read
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: books honestly. You don't have to. You shouldn't have to
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: fear the consequences. And let's just undo this lie. You've
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: been told that if you're white or or whatever, that
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: you can't read a book. I believe as an educator,
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: it's my job to help facilitate critical thinking. And I
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: tried to make it a lesson about context versus intent.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: You know, it's intent of our words.
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: That really makes something racist or not, not reading it
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: out of a book.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Do you think he should have been fired? Skip, do
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: you think he should have been? Not at all.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you had a problem with him reading,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: then why would you assign it in your English class
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: as far as the curriculum for the school?
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: You should not be assigned anything that you can't stand
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: up in front of the school and read.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, so it is what it is. It's American literature.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: This is interesting. The teacher was fired because he read
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: out loud the N-word into Kelly Mockenberg, which was a
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: part of the school curriculum. Why do you laugh like
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: witchy people?
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry.
• 16:18
  Speaker 9: I'm sorry.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? What are you doing? I apologize.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: All right. So what's wrong with you? No, because it
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: looks like you have a pin in your pocket. And
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: you said it's not a pin. And you got really mad.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I didn't get mad at you. But it looks like
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: a pin. You said it's supposed to be. I'm like, okay,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: so it's a pin in your pocket. It's very cute.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: But you should have said it is a pin, but
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: it's not real.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Stop looking at what I wear. Listen. Um, you think
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: you should be fired? Hell to the no. I mean,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: it don't even make sense. The only, only way he
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: could have been fired is if he required all the
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: black students to stand up every time he read the
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: word or something. But other than that, that's, that's interesting teaching. Yeah.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I don't, I don't think books should be banned on any,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: any level. No. On any level. I don't think anything
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: should be banned. If you ain't banned in mind comp,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: why are you banning? Why you want to ban anything
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: at all? Correct. Thank you. So I just, I don't,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I don't get the purpose for that. You know what?
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: We read at the fifth grade level, so there's no
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: point in banning books. They can't read them anyway. Period.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: You know, even in Louisiana and Texas where they say
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: you can put the Ten Commandments up, they can only
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: read four of them. So what's the point?
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: But I'm telling you, I go back to the people
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: who want these books banned are the very people who
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: use this word in their household probably on a daily basis.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I know we do. So a teacher's actually fired for
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: reading To Kill a Mockingbird, which was a great movie.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: It was a great movie. It was a great movie.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Saw that one. Oh, you saw, okay, you saw that one.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Saw that one.
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: This is what he said.
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: Be freaking kidding me. You used the N-word in class.
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: I want you to explain to the audience exactly what happened.
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: I was walking around my classroom, pacing the room, and
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: I overheard this conversation between these two girls, and they
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: were talking about the book To Kill a Mockingbird. And

  Speaker 5: And they were talking about how their teacher makes them

  Speaker 5: Sure. And I just thought, that's silly. And so I
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: calmly just expressed my disagreement. And a girl asked me

  Speaker 5: it on the exact page. And he said, okay, then
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: do it. And so I took the book and I
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: wanted to display for my students that you can read books. Honestly,
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: you don't have to, you shouldn't have to fear the consequences.
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: And let's just undo this lie. You've been told that
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: if you're white or, or whatever, that you can't read
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: a book. I believe as an educator, it's my job.
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: To help facilitate critical thinking.
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: And I tried to make it a lesson about context
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: versus intent.
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: You know, it's intent of our words. That really makes
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: something racist or not. Not reading it out of a book.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: How do you think you should have been fired? We're
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: going right to the phones.
• 19:11
  Speaker 10: The teacher should have been fired because even though he
• 19:14
  Speaker 10: was trying to sell it as he was making a
• 19:16
  Speaker 10: point that you can bust this myth and, you know,
• 19:19
  Speaker 10: you're supposed to read literature and this, that, and the other,
• 19:21
  Speaker 10: the point that he wasn't preserving was the mutual respect thing. And,
• 19:27
  Speaker 10: you know, I understand when he explained it, it was
• 19:30
  Speaker 10: almost in a context that they dared him or he
• 19:33
  Speaker 10: was taking it as if he can read whatever the
• 19:35
  Speaker 10: hell he wants.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Which That's irresponsible, especially.
• 19:39
  Speaker 10: If you're trying to convey things to the whole child.
• 19:42
  Speaker 10: You know, in the military, if I did something, it
• 19:45
  Speaker 10: would be conduct I'm becoming of an officer. They're not
• 19:48
  Speaker 10: telling me how to live my life, but they're telling
• 19:50
  Speaker 10: me in the military, in that job, I'm supposed to
• 19:52
  Speaker 10: display a certain conduct. So I think he should have
• 19:55
  Speaker 10: been fired. The coach who categorized the player and said
• 19:59
  Speaker 10: she's a dangerous species, same thing, but the system that
• 20:04
  Speaker 10: we live in is systemic.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: They don't fire them.
• 20:07
  Speaker 10: They just kind of plant their hand and try to...
• 20:09
  Speaker 10: So there's this supremacy mindset.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: And it's being led by the president.
• 20:14
  Speaker 10: And now that the floodgates are open, people walk around
• 20:17
  Speaker 10: here doing whatever and saying whatever they want because they
• 20:19
  Speaker 10: know there's no consequence. But yes, I think he should
• 20:22
  Speaker 10: have been fired because even though he was trying to
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: make a point, there's a certain way to make a
• 20:27
  Speaker 10: point and there's a place and a time to make
• 20:28
  Speaker 10: a point. I think it was his fault that he
• 20:31
  Speaker 10: lost his job.
• 20:32
  Speaker 11: I do not think that the teacher should have been fired, no,
• 20:35
  Speaker 11: because it was during the time that it was written,
• 20:38
  Speaker 11: and children need to know about the context, okay?
• 20:43
  Speaker 12: No, I don't think he should be fired. I mean,
• 20:45
  Speaker 12: that word has been around for a long, long time.
• 20:49
  Speaker 12: You know, some use it as endowment. The fact of
• 20:51
  Speaker 12: the matter is that it is written by the authors.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: It is in the book.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: It is literature.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: It is facts.
• 20:57
  Speaker 8: So to fire.
• 20:57
  Speaker 12: Someone who is actually reading from the literature, I agree
• 21:01
  Speaker 12: with Jasmine, remove the book from the curriculum. But Francis
• 21:04
  Speaker 12: Scott Key, the star of Stanger Banner, we had to
• 21:08
  Speaker 12: remove those words that he wrote about the slaves, about
• 21:12
  Speaker 12: slaves dying.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: They won't sing it.
• 21:14
  Speaker 12: But they sure wanted to stand up and put our
• 21:16
  Speaker 12: hands across our heart when he started playing the national anthem.
• 21:19
  Speaker 12: But they won't sing that third verse of Francis Scott Keith.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: They won't sing that. Why?
• 21:25
  Speaker 12: Because it talks about slaves and talks about killing us.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: So history is history.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: We can't rewrite it.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: It is what it is.
• 21:32
  Speaker 12: So I think the gentleman should not be fired.
• 21:35
  Speaker 13: I agree with the teacher. I don't think he should
• 21:38
  Speaker 13: have been fired because he had a good point when
• 21:40
  Speaker 13: he said it depends on how you're using the word
• 21:44
  Speaker 13: in the context. And he was reading from the book,
• 21:47
  Speaker 13: and that's how it was written by the author. I
• 21:50
  Speaker 13: do realize that that word can trigger a lot in
• 21:53
  Speaker 13: regards to people of color and people of different ethnic backgrounds.
• 21:58
  Speaker 13: But we shouldn't always be so quick to judge. We
• 22:00
  Speaker 13: should think about how something's actually being said and the
• 22:04
  Speaker 13: nature of how it's being used.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think the teacher should have got fired.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: It's reading. It's part of history.
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: And unfortunately, there's some ugly things in history that, you know,
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: we still need to know about.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: And that's how they spoke back then, unfortunately. So a
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: teacher is actually fired for reading To Kill a Mockingbird,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: which was a great movie. This is what he said.
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: Be freaking kidding me. You use the N-word in class.
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: I want you to explain to the audience exactly what happened.
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: I was walking around my classroom, pacing the room, and
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: I overheard this conversation between these two girls. And they
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: were talking about the book To Kill a Mockingbird. And
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: they're currently assigned to read that in their English class.
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: And they were.
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: Talking about how their teacher makes them skip over a
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: certain word. We all know what the word is, right?
• 22:47
  Speaker 8: It's the N-word.
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: I won't say it here, but it's the N-word.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: Sure. And I just thought, that's silly. And so I
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: calmly just expressed my disagreement. And a girl asked me
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: point blank in front of the class, well, if you
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: were reading the book, would you say the word? And
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: I sort of laughed, but I said.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: And right then a boy whipped out the book. He
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: had it on the exact page. And he said, OK,
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: then do it. And so I took the book and
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: I wanted to display for my students that you can
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: read books honestly.
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: You don't have to. You shouldn't have to fear the consequences.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: And let's just undo this lie you've been told that
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: if you're white or or whatever, that you can't read
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: a book. I believe as an educator, it's my job
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: to help facilitate critical thinking. And I tried to make
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: it a lesson about context versus intent.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: You know, it's intent of our words. That really makes
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: something racist or not, not reading.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: It out of a book, How do you think he
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: should have been fired? We're going right to the phones.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Well, I think that the teacher is 100% correct. You
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: shouldn't have to hide from reading the word that's in
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: the book. And if we don't want him in the book,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: don't put him in the book. If we don't want
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: him in the songs, don't put him in the song.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: So I think the teacher was right. He should have
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: been fired.
• 24:01
  Speaker 9: No, I don't think he should be fired because I
• 24:05
  Speaker 9: was on the fence at first. But when he said
• 24:07
  Speaker 9: he was going to tell about the context of the words,
• 24:09
  Speaker 9: then I jumped on board because that's what's wrong with
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: the word is People hear it in a rap song,
• 24:14
  Speaker 9: and it doesn't have the same value as it was
• 24:17
  Speaker 9: in a historic novel like that. So if you teach
• 24:19
  Speaker 9: the derogatory way, then I think that's the right way
• 24:21
  Speaker 9: to teach the word. It's not celebrated. That's how it
• 24:23
  Speaker 9: should be. That's how the book was intended. But if
• 24:26
  Speaker 9: you do the book and you take the word out,
• 24:28
  Speaker 9: not only are you diluting the book, but you're also
• 24:30
  Speaker 9: diluting the message behind how derogatory that word really is.
• 24:34
  Speaker 8: I absolutely do not think that gentleman should be fired.
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: I'm an African-American male. And from what I can pick
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: up from the conversation, it appears that that gentleman was
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: not African-American, which makes the point even more poignant. Not
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: only should he not be fired, I think he should
• 24:48
  Speaker 8: be used as the standard and example for others to follow.
• 24:51
  Speaker 8: He is correct. We should think about context over intent.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 24:56
  Speaker 8: He should not be fired.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: All right, this is the D.O. Hughley Show. Now it's
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: time for the streaming movie review with Alibo, the streaming
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: hack warrior. I'm there. I'm there.
• 25:04
  Speaker 8: I'm there.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: All I may say, harmony, harmony, harmony. Uh-oh, the end.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: My home brother. What's that, Alibo?
• 25:17
  Speaker 14: What in the name of the one God is happening?
• 25:21
  Speaker 14: Because of the high prices of the beef, I am
• 25:24
  Speaker 14: hearing the president is importing meat from other countries.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: I'm serious. We don't know what country or what the
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: meat is.
• 25:34
  Speaker 14: I say don't trust it, but you can trust me
• 25:38
  Speaker 14: with my new Alibo Ali Beef.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: It's bootleg beef. I'm serious.
• 25:45
  Speaker 14: One might even say it's horseleg beef or the finest.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Water buffalo steak. Hyena hacks. And the zebras are so fresh,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: you can see the green marks. Next to the stripes. Uh-oh.
• 25:59
  Speaker 14: They say an elephant never forgets. Well, you'll never forget
• 26:04
  Speaker 14: the taste of my elephant burgers. You can buy them
• 26:08
  Speaker 14: in a four or eight-pack of dams.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I'm serious.
• 26:12
  Speaker 14: Today's movie has nothing to do with beef, but neither
• 26:15
  Speaker 14: does my beef.
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: Uh-oh.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: The movie is Wild.
• 26:19
  Speaker 14: Cards, starring Leon in the comedian Eric Desperate.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: In this movie, they play two lawyers.
• 26:27
  Speaker 14: When the courtroom drama unfolds, uh-oh, a wild card witness emerges.
• 26:33
  Speaker 14: with evidence that could turn everything up inside and down.
• 26:37
  Speaker 14: Leon and Eddie's are good, but this movie looks like
• 26:40
  Speaker 14: an episode of The Law and Order if the writers
• 26:43
  Speaker 14: got locked in a courtroom overnight with only Red Bull
• 26:47
  Speaker 14: and Hennessy. Uh-oh, it's two hours of jurors yelling, lawyers flexing,
• 26:52
  Speaker 14: and a wild-card witness who shows up like she wandered
• 26:55
  Speaker 14: in from a different and better movie.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I'm serious. Most people will yell, objection, and stop watching. Uh-oh.
• 27:03
  Speaker 14: I give this movie two special handbags. And these bags
• 27:08
  Speaker 14: are made from kangaroo. The kangaroo has a purse. Now
• 27:12
  Speaker 14: you can have one, too.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: I'm serious.
• 27:15
  Speaker 14: This is Elibo, your hacking warrior, with the stream hacking
• 27:18
  Speaker 14: movie review. Stay safe and healthy.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: It is the deal. He will show you a 2026 edition.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: If you're going to be in Fort Lauderdale, I will
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: be there this Friday at the Iran theater, along with
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Don Lemon, DL and D for the DL and DL tour.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: So make sure you check that out. Then the following day,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: we'll be in Orlando at the Walt Disney theater. So
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: the 12th and the 13th, right? Did I get that right?
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: 11th and 12th. 11th and 12th. Not mistaken. So Friday's
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: the 11th. That is probably correct. That is correct. Friday's
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: the 11th. Did you see where they're trying not to
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: let Mondami come to the... Like, that would... So if
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: he can't come, they don't want him to come, is that... Wait,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: come where? Well, he's the mayor of New York City. Yes,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: this I know. So, you know, what's funny is... The
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: perpetrators of 9-11 were there were, I think, 15 Saudis. Right.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: I think he's from Uganda.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Right. Yeah.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I know he's the African country. Now, it's interesting that
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: you don't want him to come to 9-11, but the
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Trumps have no problem taking money from Saudis. We showed up.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: No problem. So is that to imply that no Muslim
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: that lived in New York should be able to go
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: to commemorate 9-11? Is it 2 billion people that we're
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: saying should be disqualified from going? Or is it just him?
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I think it's just him. How old is he? 30-something?
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know how old he is. Let's look and see.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Because that was 27 years ago. So he might have
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: been in his teens when that happened.
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: So the golfers have no problem taking Saudi money for
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: live golf, right? Not at all. Oh yeah. Absolutely not.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: They have no problem. He's 34 years old. He's 34
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: years old now. So that was 21 years ago. He
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: was 13 years ago. He's 13 years old. 13. So, and, and, and,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: and obviously what is happening now is that it's not working.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Do you see that, that, that girl that killed her kids, right?
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: Yep. Yeah.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: We've been talking about Lindsay Clancy. Lindsay, Lindsay, what's her name? Clancy. So,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't just her. It was a young girl.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Casey Anthony killed her kid too, right? Yep. I think
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: that it's, I have no doubt that she suffered from something.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: But I don't think those kids should be dead. And
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: I don't think she should be running around free. I
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: don't think you should get to kill your kids by
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: having an emotional breakdown. I totally agree with you on
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: that one. And I think that a lot of white women,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: like white women, A lot of white women, I should say,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: don't feel like a woman who killed her kids should
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: be in jail. And a lot of white women feel
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: like a man who molested kids should be president. Yeah,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: that's the interesting thing. this is Dylan Roof killed, excuse me,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Rittenhouse killed those people. They can always justify it when
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: it is seen from their perspective. That's monstrous to have
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: killed these kids. Very much so. And they cannot act
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: as if they're monsters. I don't think that black woman who,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: I don't think she should have been acquitted. And I
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: don't think, I don't know, she, you know, I think
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: that The other day, children are dead and somebody needs to.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Well, here's the thing. Now, the latest is her attorneys
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: are asking Trump for.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: A part, which is stupid because it's a state case.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Her attorney is an idiot if he think that. And,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: you know, if Trump if Trump will, if she can
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: murder kids and he molest them, it's the same thing.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: It's the same thing. Sometimes people get really upset with
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: the things I say. So we're going to give them
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to express themselves with our segment called F.U.D.L.U.
• 30:59
  Speaker 15: Glee.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: So why don't you please welcome our FUDL Hughley correspondent,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Little Niecy James. Hello, this is.
• 31:04
  Speaker 16: Niecy James, your FUDL Hughley correspondent. Our first FUDL Hughley
• 31:09
  Speaker 16: comment comes from Facebook. Tommy from Cosmic Energy says, DL,
• 31:14
  Speaker 16: I know you remember me. I was the leader of
• 31:16
  Speaker 16: the singing group, Cosmic Energy. We were a really good group.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: With the potential of being stars.
• 31:22
  Speaker 16: That was until you came along.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: You told us we could stay.
• 31:26
  Speaker 16: We let you sing lead at the school talent show,
• 31:28
  Speaker 16: and you were so awful that we got booed off
• 31:30
  Speaker 16: the stage.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: It was so bad.
• 31:32
  Speaker 16: The group never recovered. Me and the other members of
• 31:35
  Speaker 16: the group had real dreams and ambitions for making it big.
• 31:39
  Speaker 16: You ruined it for us, and you destroyed our future.
• 31:42
  Speaker 16: It may have been a big joke to you, but
• 31:43
  Speaker 16: it was devastating to us.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: F * * * you, D.A.
• 31:46
  Speaker 10: Hughley.
• 31:47
  Speaker 16: Our next F.E.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: D.A.
• 31:48
  Speaker 16: Hughley comment is from the D.A.
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: Hughley Show website.
• 31:51
  Speaker 16: She's strong, 67 says. D.L., why is it every time
• 31:55
  Speaker 16: Jasmine starts to win an argument against you, you shout
• 31:57
  Speaker 16: her down saying, when she gets a show, she can
• 32:00
  Speaker 16: talk about that? Are you afraid an educated woman is
• 32:03
  Speaker 16: smarter than you? Does it frighten you that she may
• 32:05
  Speaker 16: show you up on your own radio show?
• 32:07
  Speaker 11: D.L., you are an.
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: Extremely small man.
• 32:10
  Speaker 16: Not just in stature, but in your mentality, too.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: F * * *! Hey, D.L.
• 32:21
  Speaker 15: Hughley, this is Leon Bridges, you know, R & B singer.
• 32:23
  Speaker 15: I've been a fan since Kings of Comedy. I remember
• 32:25
  Speaker 15: when you did Comic View, man. I tried to go
• 32:27
  Speaker 15: to your show, and it was sold out. You know,
• 32:29
  Speaker 15: I figured I'm in the biz. We both entertainers. So
• 32:31
  Speaker 15: I sent word. I said, tell them Leon Bridges is here.
• 32:34
  Speaker 15: And they sent word back, talking about, you don't know me.
• 32:36
  Speaker 15: But you about to know me. I'm blowing up on
• 32:37
  Speaker 15: the charts right now. I'm about to be everywhere. So, D.L.,
• 32:40
  Speaker 15: you treating a new artist like this, I'm going to say.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: F * * * you, D.L.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: Hughley.
• 32:43
  Speaker 16: We're out there for this week. This has been Niecy James,
• 32:47
  Speaker 16: your FUDFU League correspondent.
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: And until next.
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: Week, bye.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Now time for our human being of the week. Jasmine,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: somebody's out there being human. Who the hell is it?
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: You won't believe it when I tell you, but you better.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: The founders of Panda Express. Did they give out extra
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: soy sauce?
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: No. I saw. They did not. They did not charge extra.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: But you know what they do? They're helping their employees
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: become homeowners.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: What? Yep.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: Now, they built a $ 7 billion empire because, of course,
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: a lot of people like Panda Express, including myself. I
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: just found a love for it all of a sudden
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: after all these years. But it's everywhere.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And they felt like in the mall.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: No, it's also an airport. They have standalone places. There's
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: a lot of standalones, actually. They got rich by charging. Yeah,
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: they employ over 55,000 people.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: So here's the thing.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: They have 2,500 locations across 49 states. And also in
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: 12 countries. So, yeah, it's in a lot of places.
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: But anyway, I think that the important thing is that
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: they're taking their wealth because they realize that homeownership is not,
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: it's a major milestone for most people, but most people
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: don't get the opportunity to do it. So what they
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: are doing is they are helping their employees become homeowners
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: by investing in them.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: I think that's dope.
• 33:58
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: This home bought to you by MSG. I don't care
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: who it's bought by. I'll take it. That's pretty awesome.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: That's pretty awesome. Yes, I think so.
• 34:06
  Speaker 15: Fantastic.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. Yeah. The owners of Panda Express. Yeah.
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: So that would be Peggy Cherng and Andrew Cherng.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: I think that's their names. I know it's Peggy and Andrew.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: I know that. That ain't their real name. I'm not
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: trying to be disrespectful. That ain't their real name. Of
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: course not. Those are the names they have. You know,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: just like I hate to mention it and tell you this.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: But Shirley is not your manicure's name either. It's not? Shirley,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: not Shirley? No. Let's not mess with that, Paul. Stacey's
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: not her name either. I'm just telling you. Don't blow it, Paul.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: What about Kathy? Kathy, you're not Kathy? What are their names?
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Peggy and Andrew. Peggy and Andrew. They have embraced. From
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Taiwan and Japan. Taiwan and Japan. We got the Pacific
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Rim cover. Yes, we do. So to Peggy and what's
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: her name again? Andrew.
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: Andrew.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Andrew. have helped some of their 55,000 employees usher in
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: a new home. Yes, they did. For that, we're going
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: to give them their human beings of the week. We're
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: going to give them the claps. That's it. I saw,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: I saw. Someone, sometimes it doesn't take long to know
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: if you're with the wrong person. We're going to explain
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: on my top five. That's up in less than 15 minutes.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Now it's time for what you need to know with
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: the one and only Sybil Wilkes.
• 35:17
  Speaker 17: It's Sybil Wilkes with what we need to know. Federal
• 35:20
  Speaker 17: investigators with the NTSB recovered the flight recorders from Sunday's
• 35:24
  Speaker 17: cargo plane crash at the Miami International Airport, where an
• 35:27
  Speaker 17: Amazon Boeing 767 overran the runway, killing five people and
• 35:32
  Speaker 17: injuring five others. In New York, former New York Mayor
• 35:35
  Speaker 17: Rudy Giuliani is urging the current mayor, Zoran Mandani, to
• 35:39
  Speaker 17: skip Friday's 9-11 ceremony, while Mandani defended his attendance as
• 35:43
  Speaker 17: a petition opposing his appearance gathered over 100,000 signatures. The
• 35:48
  Speaker 17: AI music platform Suno is pulling an ad campaign featuring
• 35:52
  Speaker 17: Mary J. Blige after learning an unauthorized individual gave green
• 35:56
  Speaker 17: light approval without permission.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: The singer's consent.
• 36:00
  Speaker 17: And finally, singer Ciara and former NFL quarterback Russell Wilson
• 36:03
  Speaker 17: announced on social media they're expecting their fifth child.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: I'm Sybil Wilkes.
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: Be informed.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Be empowered. It is the deal. He will show you
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: a 2026 edition. If you're going to be in Fort
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Lauderdale on the 12th, I will be there. Excuse me,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: on the 11th. I will be there along with John
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Lemon for DL & D or anything goes to at
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: the Aron Theater. And then the following day on September 12th,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: we will be at the Walt Disney Theater in Orlando, Florida.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: So come check us out. We have some stuff. Lindsey
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Clancy's attorney is obviously going to ask Trump for a
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: pardon after a mistrial, which is crazy. Because it's state charges,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: so we'll see. But they never have had any adherence
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: to the law. I just can't imagine somebody from Massachusetts
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: is actually listening to Trump about anything. She's a murderer.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: I don't care how, what, what, like Nancy, my mates
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: finally said something. I like, they said if she was black,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: the pink mob wouldn't care anything about it. I don't
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: know if it's pink because it's a, the girls are
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: pink cause they're white women. I don't know which one
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: she's talking about. I don't know. But, um, they, they
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: raised half a million dollars. They raised millions of dollars
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: for this chick. To do what?
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Like what's she going to do? She murdered those people.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Nothing should happen. Nothing should happen. And then they're trying
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: to blame the husband. I tell you what, there are
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of women, particularly white women, can do almost anything.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: There's nothing that they could do that somebody won't excuse.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: That's true. And the mistrial was hung by one person, right?
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: One person. One person. And I hear... These women try
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: to cut through it. Well, she was on medication. And
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: then she and then the husband neglected her. Hey, wait
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: a minute. All that. Even if all of that was true,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: you still don't get to murder your kids.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Even if all of that were true, you still don't
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: get to murder your children. I have no doubt that
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: my mother suffered. Choke. But she didn't kill us.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: They just it is. It is ironic that the very
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: same people that helped Trump get in office, despite. His
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: allegations of child molestation because he won them overwhelmingly. He
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: won women overwhelmingly. Are the same women who are supporting her.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: Very well.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: We shouldn't let y'all have kids or pick presidents. It's insane.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: The one thing that white people just will not do
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: is take accountability. And it's raising five million dollars. I
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: have no doubt something was wrong with her, but it
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: wasn't so wrong with her that she calculated murdering children.
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: And even if something was wrong with her.
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: OK, I'm not I'm not. I mean, I do doubt it,
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: but whatever. Even if something was wrong with her, you
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: cannot go unpunished for killing three children.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Or three people. In America, you can. The number
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: one cause of death in America is is guns. And
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: we don't do anything about that. Sandy Hook, all those
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: kids got murdered. We didn't do anything about that. So
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: let's stop acting like we give a damn. And the
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: same nation that wants, you know, to outlaw abortion because
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: of their alleged love of. you know, their love allegiance
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: to life never has anything to say and stuff like this.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: It's no way that woman should be walking free. They
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: did it with Casey Anthony too.
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: Same thing.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: But I can see her. She had a big ass.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Oh my God.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: What?
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Did you see the Casey Anthony's trial? I did. Of course. Man,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: I was like, wait a minute. Only in America. Only
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: in America. It is the D.L. Hughley show. Now, sometimes
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: it doesn't take too long to know if you're with
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: the wrong person's gives us five reasons to leave a
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: first date within the first ten minutes by Julia Austin
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: for Madame Noir. Number five, he only orders for himself. Well,
• 39:39
