- 0:01Speaker 1: Happy birthday to French Montana. He's named after a country,
- 0:04Speaker 1: I mean, after a language and a state.
- 0:06Speaker 2: That's pretty dope.
- 0:08Speaker 1: French Montana and a dressing. It's like Compton spaghetti. I
- 0:14Speaker 1: don't know what that is, man. Happy birthday to Eric Day,
- 0:18Speaker 1: McSteamy on Grey's Anatomy. Happy birthday to Cisco from Drew Hill.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Happy birthday to Roxanne Shante. Happy birthday to the one
- 0:25Speaker 1: and only Scarface. Happy birthday to Sheik Louch from the Locks.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Happy birthday to Nick Lacey. Remember he had Lacey.
- 0:32Speaker 2: Lachey. Okay, I don't care. I don't care. I don't care.
- 0:37Speaker 2: You put some respect on his name. Lachey. You know,
- 0:40Speaker 2: all you can do is expect me to give it
- 0:42Speaker 2: an honest effort.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 0:44Speaker 3: You are right about that. You know, you can't expect
- 0:46Speaker 3: me to know things. You're exactly right.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Like one time I was in Paris and he's like,
- 0:50Speaker 2: you don't even try to speak the language. But I'm hungry.
- 0:52Speaker 2: So what?
- 0:52Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not at school.
- 0:56Speaker 2: I don't need a lesson. What I need is some legumes. See?
- 1:01Speaker 2: Go ahead.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Happy birthday to Corey Hodrick. Happy birthday to Lou Ferretti.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Corey Hardrick, he was married to. Oh, no, he was
- 1:09Speaker 1: Haitian Jack on all eyes.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Yeah, but he was also one of the twins. That's
- 1:14Speaker 2: what I thought. The husband. Let me tell you something.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. He got off easy, baby.
- 1:19Speaker 1: I'm telling you. It may not feel like it now, baby,
- 1:22Speaker 1: but you won in the end. Let me tell you.
- 1:24Speaker 1: So you could be sad now, but you dodged the bullet.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Let me tell you. Happy birthday to Johnny McClurkin. He
- 1:32Speaker 1: fell down, got up, and when he got up, he
- 1:34Speaker 1: had a girlfriend.
- 1:35Speaker 2: Ain't that something? I mean, it is. I ain't going
- 1:45Speaker 2: to do this no more. We fall down. I ain't
- 1:51Speaker 2: going to sing that. Okay. Come on with the birthdays. Okay.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Happy birthday, possibly, to Dorothy Dandridge and Bob Gibson. We've
- 1:58Speaker 1: got a great show lined up for you. Of course,
- 1:59Speaker 1: Jasmine will tell us what's trending. I'm going to have
- 2:01Speaker 1: a little note from the GED section on the DL
- 2:04Speaker 1: Hughley Show. Jazz man. Tell these good people what's trending.
- 2:12Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness. Hakeem Jeffries. People are giving him the blues.
- 2:18Speaker 3: Any number of accounts. I saw where one of your friends'
- 2:22Speaker 3: account got suspended. They took his account. Now, remember I
- 2:25Speaker 3: was telling you I was looking for the video where
- 2:26Speaker 3: he was going after Hakeem Jeffries and I couldn't find it. Yeah,
- 2:29Speaker 3: OG Matt. Yep. Couldn't find it. Well, then I saw
- 2:32Speaker 3: a post that he made and he said they took
- 2:34Speaker 3: away his account. Yeah. And he had a backup account.
- 2:38Speaker 3: And I don't know if it was because of the
- 2:39Speaker 3: things he said.
- 2:40Speaker 2: I don't know. But a lot of people have.
- 2:42Speaker 3: Any number of things to say to Hakeem about, hey, man,
- 2:45Speaker 3: don't go in there soft shoe walking. Yeah, that's what
- 2:47Speaker 3: here's what I'll say. Chuck Schumer, he you can't be
- 2:51Speaker 3: all hunched over and he looks he looks too old
- 2:53Speaker 3: for the moment. Now, if it were Nancy Pelosi or
- 2:57Speaker 3: somebody like that, somebody who you knew could get stuff done.
- 2:59Speaker 2: OK, but Chuck Schumer looks too old for the moment.
- 3:02Speaker 2: I think that his.
- 3:04Speaker 1: When he tried to put Haley Stevens in over Abdul El-Saad,
- 3:08Speaker 1: I think he's clearly a different kind of dude. I
- 3:10Speaker 1: think when they make the old complaint that, you know,
- 3:15Speaker 1: they're two birds of the same wing, I think they're
- 3:18Speaker 1: right when it comes to him. And this is a
- 3:20Speaker 1: hard-fought victory, and I think he's just not up to
- 3:23Speaker 1: the challenge.
- 3:24Speaker 2: And, you know, people want to go a different direction.
- 3:26Speaker 1: As far as Hakeem goes, and I said that I
- 3:29Speaker 1: was very clear about this, I feel it's disingenuous for me.
- 3:34Speaker 1: I can only think for me that a black man
- 3:37Speaker 1: gets a job for the first time and doesn't get
- 3:39Speaker 1: a chance to do it.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll say that. He's never been the majority leader before.
- 3:43Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:43Speaker 1: And so it was a minority perspective. But he should
- 3:46Speaker 1: know that we only got to act like Hakeem from Brooklyn,
- 3:49Speaker 1: not Hakeem from Hackensack.
- 3:51Speaker 2: And I'm going to give him a chance to.
- 3:53Speaker 3: But for me to him, my first tip is the
- 3:55Speaker 3: first move shouldn't be a secret meeting with Jerry.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Don't ever do that again. Don't do that.
- 3:59Speaker 3: Don't ever do that again. And speaking of don't do
- 4:00Speaker 3: that again. Hey, Megyn Kelly. You saw where Russell Brand
- 4:05Speaker 3: was sentenced over 10 years.
- 4:07Speaker 2: Well, you know, he was just at MAHA. She said.
- 4:10Speaker 3: I chose charm over Russell Brand's conviction.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Yeah, of course. Because you don't mind rapists. You support
- 4:17Speaker 1: a child pedophile. You said Jeffrey Epstein wasn't a pedophile.
- 4:21Speaker 1: They're a rapey lot. You see the picture? It was
- 4:24Speaker 1: all of them all together. Every single one in that
- 4:27Speaker 1: picture had raped somebody.
- 4:28Speaker 3: Every one of them.
- 4:29Speaker 2: You see that picture? It was him. It was Tyson.
- 4:32Speaker 1: It was Donald Trump. Everybody in there had a rape charge.
- 4:37Speaker 1: They're a rapey lot. And I'm saying he has so
- 4:40Speaker 1: many rape convictions. He can now be the front runner
- 4:43Speaker 1: for the nominee for president for nominee for president. Because
- 4:47Speaker 1: apparently you can't you can't you can't secure the nomination
- 4:51Speaker 1: unless you take constantly.
- 4:55Speaker 3: But here's what's interesting too, though, when you consider that
- 4:57Speaker 3: and the fact that he wrote something called how to
- 4:59Speaker 3: become a Christian in seven days.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Of course. Do that when they get ready to go
- 5:04Speaker 2: to jail. Oh my God. That is crazy.
- 5:06Speaker 1: When he go to prison, he's going to become a Muslim.
- 5:10Speaker 1: He'll be a Muslim by the time the show is over. Man,
- 5:14Speaker 1: I'm so sick of these people.
- 5:15Speaker 2: Yeah, me too. But that's what's trending. Their way of
- 5:17Speaker 2: life is done. It's over.
- 5:20Speaker 1: So at the time of this broadcast, we still do
- 5:22Speaker 1: not know the results of, uh, Mississippi, whether they will
- 5:26Speaker 1: have their first black senator since reconstruction. And last time
- 5:32Speaker 1: that was 145 years ago, last time it was a
- 5:34Speaker 1: Republican was the last time they had a black senator
- 5:37Speaker 1: in the great state of Mississippi. It is taking a
- 5:40Speaker 1: while because they're having to count. And, you know, when
- 5:42Speaker 1: you're 50th in.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Math, it might take you a little while. No, I'm
- 5:45Speaker 2: just kidding.
- 5:47Speaker 1: What has happened in Mississippi, the minute that voters rights
- 5:51Speaker 1: were under attack, the NWCP did a brilliant thing.
- 5:54Speaker 2: They started registering people to vote.
- 5:57Speaker 1: I think if estimates are correct, they registered at least
- 6:01Speaker 1: anywhere from 20,000 to 40,000 extra people ready to vote.
- 6:05Speaker 2: And they took the fight to the establishment. There was
- 6:08Speaker 2: a young man.
- 6:10Speaker 1: His name is Ty Pinkins. He is a third-party candidate. Now,
- 6:13Speaker 1: third-party candidates have traditionally been spoilers. You look no further
- 6:18Speaker 1: than Jill Stein or Cornel West to see what kind
- 6:21Speaker 1: of damage they can do. And I remember like a
- 6:23Speaker 1: lot of people, I was initially irritated that this man
- 6:26Speaker 1: would stay in the race. A third party candidate is
- 6:28Speaker 1: so close until I heard his story.
- 6:30Speaker 2: I read what he was saying. He didn't.
- 6:32Speaker 1: He did an interview where he talked about that. He
- 6:34Speaker 1: initially thought that he would win. But in April of
- 6:37Speaker 1: this year, he got the news by reputable pollsters.
- 6:40Speaker 2: That he couldn't win. And that.
- 6:43Speaker 1: That 70 percent of the people that he took, 70
- 6:47Speaker 1: percent of the people who voted for him, were going
- 6:50Speaker 1: away from Cindy Hyde-Smith.
- 6:53Speaker 2: He was taking 70% of the people.
- 6:54Speaker 1: The 70% of the people that voted for him would
- 6:56Speaker 1: have voted for her. He decided to stay in the race.
- 7:00Speaker 1: He also decided to stay away from the Delta. He
- 7:02Speaker 1: decided to stay away from Hines County. He started only
- 7:06Speaker 1: going to give speeches and to do rallies in places
- 7:09Speaker 1: that he knew he couldn't hurt Scott Conlon. He said today,
- 7:14Speaker 1: that all he had to do was take the slings
- 7:16Speaker 1: and the arrows that came along, because I, like a
- 7:18Speaker 1: lot of people, was telling this man to drop out.
- 7:20Speaker 2: If Scott Collum.
- 7:23Speaker 1: Goes on to be successful, which it looks like he will,
- 7:25Speaker 1: if they have most of their votes to be counted
- 7:27Speaker 1: in Hines County, I guess, you know, I'll tell you,
- 7:29Speaker 1: I don't have to tell you that that is Jackson.
- 7:32Speaker 1: And I just don't think that Cindy Highsmith can get
- 7:35Speaker 1: 60 percent of them.
- 7:37Speaker 2: But you never know. But sorry, Miss Jackson.
- 7:40Speaker 1: If it is that this happens, this historical thing happens
- 7:43Speaker 1: in line with all the other history that we made,
- 7:46Speaker 1: I think that a hand should go out to how
- 7:49Speaker 1: bright and deaf that the NAACP was and how brave
- 7:53Speaker 1: this young man was, a man who was being maligned
- 7:55Speaker 1: by people until we understood what his motives were. Political
- 7:58Speaker 1: historians will study what this young man did. He did
- 8:02Speaker 1: something that was selfless and brave. And I don't have
- 8:04Speaker 1: to tell you, there's a lot of Mississippi that you
- 8:07Speaker 1: can do that benefits black people that can get your
- 8:09Speaker 1: life threatened and get you put in danger. No greater
- 8:13Speaker 1: love does a man have than he would lay down
- 8:15Speaker 1: his life and his reputation for his brother. What he
- 8:18Speaker 1: did is a case study in selflessness, a case study
- 8:22Speaker 1: for the greater good, a case study in watching out
- 8:25Speaker 1: for your brother. And I spoke ill of that man.
- 8:27Speaker 1: I was not informed. I didn't understand what he did.
- 8:30Speaker 1: What he was doing was helping us win the whole time.
- 8:34Speaker 1: And sometimes, sometimes you owe people the apology. And I
- 8:38Speaker 1: want to tell you, I'm glad I was wrong. I
- 8:40Speaker 1: think that what you did was selfless and wonderful and
- 8:43Speaker 1: exactly the kind of thing that we can do. One
- 8:47Speaker 1: brother to another, you've done an amazing thing. And I
- 8:49Speaker 1: honestly believe that people will study what you've done. It
- 8:52Speaker 1: was remarkable. So Ty Pinkins, for me at least, thank you.
- 8:56Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you. That's a little note from the
- 8:58Speaker 2: GED section. It's the D.L. Hughley Show. She's jazzed. She smiles.
- 9:04Speaker 2: It's the Jazzy Report on the D.L. Hughley Show.
- 9:08Speaker 3: Cornell's faculty delivered a public rebuke to its leadership over
- 9:12Speaker 3: the university's handling of sexual assault. The faculty senate approved
- 9:17Speaker 3: a one-line resolution declaring it has no confidence in the
- 9:20Speaker 3: central administration's ability to address what it calls an ongoing crisis,
- 9:24Speaker 3: with 56 percent voting in favor and 37 percent opposed. Now, obviously,
- 9:29Speaker 3: this move was in response to revelations in a lawsuit
- 9:31Speaker 3: by a former student.
- 9:33Speaker 1: I will be damned if I'm going to be lectured
- 9:35Speaker 1: on morality by people who support a pedophile and a rapist.
- 9:40Speaker 1: I will be damned if I'm lectured on that. I'm
- 9:43Speaker 1: hearing all these people, God, if your God allows you
- 9:47Speaker 1: to look the other way where children are raped and
- 9:49Speaker 1: women are raped, then that is no God at all.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Stop it with this moral flailing around. You can have openly,
- 9:58Speaker 1: openly men who have sexually assaulted women consorting in large
- 10:02Speaker 1: groups together. In large groups together. And those boys that
- 10:06Speaker 1: go to Cornell pretty soon, they'll be the Epsteins of
- 10:08Speaker 1: the future.
- 10:09Speaker 2: That's what they are. Either that or the Supreme Court.
- 10:12Speaker 3: Well, getting daily jolts from energy drinks might be dangerous
- 10:16Speaker 3: for you, especially for young people. New studies found cardiac
- 10:20Speaker 3: arrest was logged in about 11 times more often with
- 10:23Speaker 3: caffeine and stimulant heavy drinks and supplements than any other products.
- 10:27Speaker 3: And they say results were several times more likely to
- 10:30Speaker 3: be mentioned in terms of heart attacks or abnormal rhythms.
- 10:34Speaker 2: Young kids love that stuff, though. Yeah, Red Bull don't
- 10:36Speaker 2: only have wings. Now they're going to give you wings.
- 10:38Speaker 2: You're not going to like where you're going.
- 10:39Speaker 1: Yes, sir. I was going to do that joke, but
- 10:44Speaker 1: you just... You got to be faster. Sorry about that.
- 10:47Speaker 3: Ah!
- 10:48Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. So I set it up and then you...
- 10:52Speaker 1: Take it over, man.
- 10:54Speaker 2: First she kills him, then she steals him. That's it.
- 10:57Speaker 2: I mean, what's the point? Goodness gracious. A perfectly good
- 11:00Speaker 2: setup with a tippin' ass joke like that.
- 11:03Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.
- 11:03Speaker 2: She's been doing it for years. Come on, man. Oh
- 11:05Speaker 2: my goodness. I know.
- 11:06Speaker 1: I know.
- 11:07Speaker 2: You're welcome.
- 11:08Speaker 3: I know.
- 11:09Speaker 2: You're welcome.
- 11:10Speaker 1: I know. Well, Jasmine will either steal or kill another
- 11:13Speaker 1: joke coming up.
- 11:14Speaker 2: You don't want to miss this coming up. You can
- 11:15Speaker 2: count on it. You can count on it.
