  Speaker 2: you are.

  Speaker 1: Like a mug. I saw you on The View.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: I saw some of the excerpts from Angie Martinez. And
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: it's really poignant and it's very emotional. And actually, as
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: long as I've been working with you, it's a side
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: of you that I've never seen.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: So it's pretty interesting.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: Wow.

  Speaker 1: mean you did dancing with the stars.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: How the hell you not gonna dance down the aisle?
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: And that is why I didn't do it again. That

  Speaker 1: is why I didn't do it again. Um Happy birthday

  Speaker 1: Happy birthday posthumously to Tito Jackson. Happy birthday to Penny Marshall.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: That's a posthumously, of course. Happy birthday to Lee Iacocca,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Chrysler correspondent. A quality is job one. We don't say
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: that anymore.
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: Hey, no.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Don't come into the office. Talk to us online. What
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: we say now. We got a great show lined up
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: for you. Of course, Jasmine's going to have what's trending.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have a little note from the GED section.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: It's coming up in a bit. It's the D.O. Hughley Show. Jasmine.
• 1:51
  Speaker 7: What man?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Tell these good people what's trending.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Well, Kelly Clarkson is giving a little store the blues.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: So this is a turnout. It was something so small
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: and it has gotten so big. Now, the controversy is
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: based around, I guess, the debate of whether a celebrity
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: social media call out is fair game. So here's what happened.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Kelly Clarkson is in Brooklyn. She goes to a local business,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: small business called Art of Play. She sees this dancing bird.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know why she would want it, but that's
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: her business and she can afford it. It's $ 15, 000.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: So she wants them to take it down so she
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: can take a look at it because she's like, I
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: really like it.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I want to buy it. They didn't think she could
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: afford it because they didn't know who she was. So
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: they treated her like a stepchild. It was basically like,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: you can't really afford that. Let me show you something
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: over here. Did you see the price tag on that?
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: So she got pissed off and called it her pretty
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: woman moment and walked out. All this time later, this
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: whole conversation has come back around again.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: But the store said, no, that's not the case.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: That was just a one of a kind kind of
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: automated thing that was permanently attached to the wall. And
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: we were basically trying to show her something similar. She
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: called B.S., She was like, I know what I know.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: And I know I wanted to buy it. Y'all didn't
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: know who I was. So she called them out on
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: social media. So now they've been kind of going back
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: and forth. And this store has been coming up with
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: all of these excuses saying, no, this ain't what happened.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: But they keep changing their story. Watch how you treat people.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Watch how you treat people. And you know what it is?
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: What are you going to say, Junior?
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: I said a piece is now $ 15 million instead of $ 15, 000.
• 3:26
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Yes. So she didn't get to buy it. Of course.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Of course. You can't. So listen, I think that one
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: of the biggest problems businesses have is the people that
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: work with the point of contact, those people. 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 7: 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 7: 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 2: And also it's a lot of young kids or younger
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: people who don't know some of these celebrities, right? Cause
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: you know how it is, you know, you see them
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: on TV, they're all glam, but when you see them
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: in person, they're just regular, you know, dress regular. And
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: you know, Kelly Clarkson, I've never known, I've never heard
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: anything bad about her. I've never heard anyone say anything
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: bad to her. She's a genuine down to earth person
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: from what I can see and, And I can imagine
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: her walking in with her sweats on and her T-shirt.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: She's like, oh, I want to buy that bird.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: 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 1: Anybody walks in.
• 4:49
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Be blessed.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: For sure. Nobody does that anymore.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: And the other thing is never make the assumption about
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: the person that you are serving because you don't know
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: anything about their bank account. And the fact that Kelly
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Clarkson got a lot of money.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: 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 1: And maybe billionaires walking up in there. Yeah, but I
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: tell you what. I tell you what, I'm going to
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: tell you what, this is a dead giveaway. They're going
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: to have something that gives it away. Something. I don't
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: care if it's a dirty designer shoe. They have a
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: bracelet or a wing. That t-shirt might be raggedy, but
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: it's probably worth $ 2, 000. So in the retail space, it
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: should behoove you to know two things. Look at somebody's
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: hands and how they keep themselves. Because generally, if you're broke,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you ain't going to have dirty nails. It's a lot
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: of things you ain't going to do.
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: 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 your way
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: to being that influence you're going to be famous for.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Because I tell you what, you'd much rather have that
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: fifteen thousand dollars singing, dancing bird off the wall than
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: still there in the store.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, indeed.
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: Yes, indeed.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Yes, indeed.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, indeed. Anyway, finally trending. There's a big stink on
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: social media, too, about Hillary Swank. Congratulations, by the way.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: She is pregnant with her third child, but she's 52
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: after having twins at 48.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: And people are like, you too old to be having babies.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: And oh, my God.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Too late.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: My thing is, congratulations. You had a bit.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: You're pregnant again at 52, regardless of how. congratulations you
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: know how you know how it don't matter you know
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: how whatever is at you at your avail you know
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: how yeah i'm not mad at it don't matter she's
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: pregnant she got the access she got the access she
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: got she got everything to do i ain't mad at
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: 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. We talked about
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the I specifically talked about that there was a war
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: on woke and DEI specifically and everybody from Bill Maher
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: to every podcaster to the governor of Florida. You know,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: everybody had enacted these policies that they thought were designed
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: to take things that people didn't deserve away. And subsequently,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: we have about half a million black women that have
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: lost their job in all kinds of industries under the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: idea that they didn't necessarily deserve what it is they had,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: that it was given to them by some set aside.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: It wasn't merit that owned it. And it's important to
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: point out that the number one recipients, the people who
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: benefited the most from DEI was not black women. It
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: was white women. They benefited the least. And if you're
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: going to get rid of DEI, you wouldn't have the
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Bimbo press secretary from yesterday, the one who lied about
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: her qualifications. She said she passed the bar in China,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: which is she must be China. She must be Panda
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Express and come to find out she failed it in California. 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 6: Anywhere.
• 8:31
  Speaker 9: 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. The actual people who destroyed marriage.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: The actual people who did it. And after yesterday, when
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: people were rightfully coming after a woman who was ill-prepared
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: to do her job, that had to be the worst
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: first day ever. All you had to do was lie
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: with a straight face. Sean Hannity and the lack of
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: saying people are being too hard by questioning our qualifications.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Wasn't it Tucker Carlson that questioned and wanted to see
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Kataji Brown Jackson's transcripts? Wasn't it the people from the
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Trump administration that talked about how Kamala failed the bar examination?
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Isn't it them who always insult the intelligence of Joy Reid?
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Isn't it? And various other black females, isn't it always
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: them who question them? Now, you don't want this ill-prepared,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: ill-prepared woman to get her bona fides question when they
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: did it to them all the time. The bottom line
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: is the country lost qualified women in pursuit of these
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: bimbos who don't have any idea what they're doing and
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: is suffering for it, is suffering for it. There is
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: no way that that woman in hell should be a
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: spokesperson for anybody. There is no way that Darla. who
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: is running for Senate in South Carolina should be a
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: senator anywhere. 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. That's a little
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: note from the GED section. It's the D.L. Hughley Show.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: She's jazzed. She's smiling. It's the Jazzy Report on the D.L.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Hughley Show.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Regulators find Bank of America more than $ 1. 2 billion over
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: widespread failures and the safeguards against money laundering and other
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: illicit financial activity. The Treasury Department said the nation's second
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: largest bank failed to properly monitor trillions of dollars in
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: transactions today. and to report more than $ 5 billion in
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: suspicious activity, including transactions potentially tied to Chinese money laundering networks.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Of course. Nothing says America like greed and fraud. Nothing. Corruption. Nothing.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: They got their name. Nothing says like corruption. So they
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: got the name right. Bank of America. For sure. Also, layoffs.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Netflix is reportedly laying off about 1,000 workers, the streaming
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: giant's biggest cut since 2022. Staff were told Wednesday, yesterday,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: that about 6% of the workforce within product, tech, legal,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: and human resources was being slashed. The company has been
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: struggling to keep audiences engaged, but still has the most
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: subscribers out of any other streaming service.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: This is so funny how the industry changes so fast.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: So fast. It changes so fast, so fluid. You did
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: all that, maybe you shouldn't have bought all those podcasts.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 11:45
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Maybe.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying. At one time, they were the only
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: game in town. Now they're not. Now everybody's straight.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: There's so much to choose from.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? And they're expensive as hell, too. So, hey, bye.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Gotta stay abreast of it. And they steal it all
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: the time. Would you watch a televised execution? Would you
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: watch a televised execution? I don't think that we live
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: in a country right now where any number of people
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: secretly have photo albums way up in the attic or
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: down in the basement of their grandfathers attending lynchings. So
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Jesus was publicly executed. I think that we're a macabre
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: society in general. But would you watch a televised execution?
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Trump said he won't do it. I knew that it
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: was going to never happen because they're only only religious
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: nations run by religious zealots would ever do it. And
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: guess what? We're a nation run by religious zealots. So
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I guess it makes sense. But would you watch a
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: televised execution?
• 12:46
  Speaker 8: 877-242-2426.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Also, to step on Twitter at D.O. Hughley Radio or
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: X or on Facebook, the D.O.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Hughley Show.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: And the 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 1: We're going to go to social media. What do they
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: say about this, Skip?
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: Chuck in Waco says, hell no. Why would I watch
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: something like that?
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: But I do think we should have to see the
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: consequences of our actions. We start wars. We blow up
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: school children. We should see it. We're a very violent nation,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: and we always have these warnings. But we allow it
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: to happen. Right. We don't want you to see what happened.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: And I think— Obviously, a public execution is right in
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: line for people who 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 1: They took it. I was like, is that real? Oh,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: my God. Dude, they showed it on. I was like, man.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Or you could have just rented five faces of death.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: You could have done that too. That was a big,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: that was a big thing.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: That was a big thing. I don't know, was that
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Facebook or MySpace? One of them, I don't know, way
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: back in the day. Yeah, it was, yeah, because before
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: they had the rules. Yeah, I remember seeing that same thing.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: You could hear, it was the most brutal thing I'd
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: ever seen. It is the DL Hughley Show, your 2026 edition.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: If you're going to be in Philadelphia, I'll be there
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: tomorrow at the Miller Auditorium, Miller Theater. So come check
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: us out with me, Don Lemon and Don Lemon, DL
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: and DL. My book, Charlie Boy, is available right now.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: So check it out if you can. Would you watch
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: a televised execution, Jasmine? Would you watch one?
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: No, absolutely not.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Even though I totally agree with you that this country
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: is savage without question.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: I am not.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: And so I believe that you are what you consume.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: I don't want to see that. I want no parts
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: of it. I know there are some things that you
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: see that you can't unsee. And I don't want that
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: in my spirit or in my mind or on my heart.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: I don't want to see it.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Right. And especially not separately, spirit, mind or heart. I
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: just don't.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: I just I feel like, no, I just I should
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: be subjected to it. You know, I mean, I'm not
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: the one who did it, you know, and even though
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: I get it, like you said, we're a very violent society.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: I don't consider myself a part of that.
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: So now I think that any dude who thought that
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: that was going to be cool, they're going to really
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: love this. Maybe he knows America better than we do.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Nothing like a brutal white dude to tell you what
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: other white dudes like. It's nothing like that. So maybe
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: they do. Would you watch a televised execution? Skip, would
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: you do it? No, I need to watch that. I mean,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: you know. Well, you're a Dallas Cowboy fan, so you
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: watch the execution every Sunday, man. Actually, I'm an Eagle fan.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I went back to my old team, and they're not
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: doing that well. Well, they ain't doing that well either.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: They ain't doing that well either. I went back a
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: couple years ago. I was like, hey, man, I had
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: to go back home. They killing birds. Yeah.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: But, yeah, that's, you know, why? That is just cruel
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: and unusual. I'm not saying that some people don't deserve
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: to be executed. I'm not saying that. But putting it
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: up for public display, this is not something for entertainment
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: and folly and all that.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: This is crazy. What did you think would happen if
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: a game show host and a podcaster got together? Yeah,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: that's it. They're thinking of the ratings. It's like sweeps
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: weeks to them. But you can call it crude, but
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: you can't call it unusual. No. You can't. Nothing's more
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: quintessentially American than the public flogging and murder of people.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: That is the behavior. Nothing's more American than that.
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: Well, when they watch other countries and try to point
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: out they're savage, that's the stuff they do.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: You know, public executions and public and all that. Now
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: you want to do it.
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: Stop.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Well, to D.L. 's point, you can call it historical
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: because that's what we've always done here. So, yeah, you
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: can call it cruel. You can't call it unusual.
• 16:39
  Speaker 10: Can't.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's true at all. When they couldn't
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: kill the girl in Tennessee, everybody started giving suggestions of
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: how to kill her publicly. Oh, yeah, dude, what's the timeline? So, America,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: you can call it cruel, but you cannot call it unusual.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: So would you watch a public executioner go right to
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: the phones?
• 16:56
  Speaker 11: I can't watch the Passion of the Christ, much less
• 16:58
  Speaker 11: the public execution, unless it's Trump.
• 17:01
  Speaker 10: I'm all for that.
• 17:02
  Speaker 12: But I'll tell you one thing. If the assailant was black,
• 17:05
  Speaker 12: they would make sure that that was aired on all
• 17:07
  Speaker 12: national platforms.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: I think that's very disgusting. However, if it was Donald
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: Trump and his administration, I would watch it with popcorn
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: and watch it over and over again. That's for certain.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Other than that, no, I would not. It is sick.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: It isn't sick to even think of that. But I
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: wouldn't make an exception if the orange orangutan was the
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: one that was being executed.
• 17:31
  Speaker 13: I would not want to watch a live execution at all,
• 17:35
  Speaker 13: execution at all, because we live in America. We are
• 17:38
  Speaker 13: our brothers and sisters, black brothers and sisters, brown brothers
• 17:40
  Speaker 13: and sisters getting killed every day in front of our faith.
• 17:43
  Speaker 13: Justice for Nolan Wells again. And I pray, I pray
• 17:48
  Speaker 13: that we wake up as a people and realize that
• 17:50
  Speaker 13: we'll watch people getting killed every day, even in our
• 17:53
  Speaker 13: own communities. So no, I wouldn't want to watch.
• 17:55
  Speaker 11: That on TV when we can't have justice for simple
• 17:57
  Speaker 11: things in America.
• 17:59
  Speaker 10: Just to be honest, man, it's not cool for us
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: to be showing a public execution. His kids, if he
• 18:05
  Speaker 10: got any, could see that shit 15 years from now.
• 18:08
  Speaker 10: It should show the apparent lack of humanity.
• 18:11
  Speaker 9: Absolutely not. That is unnecessary. That's not to say that
• 18:15
  Speaker 9: he doesn't deserve to be punished. But what kind of
• 18:17
  Speaker 9: society are we that we want to see someone actually
• 18:21
  Speaker 9: being gunned down or whatever way that they decide to
• 18:24
  Speaker 9: execute this man that we need to see this publicly?
• 18:27
  Speaker 9: Absolutely not. But they're used to that. They're used to
• 18:30
  Speaker 9: watching hangings and things like that and not be bothered
• 18:33
  Speaker 9: by it.
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: But no.
• 18:34
  Speaker 9: What purpose would that serve? It's just horrible. Does he
• 18:38
  Speaker 9: deserve to be punished?
• 18:39
  Speaker 14: Absolutely.
• 18:39
  Speaker 9: Did he do something horrible?
• 18:41
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 18:41
  Speaker 9: But do we need to see that like that?
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: No.
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: It's just ridiculous.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: So could you watch a public execution? That's the question
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: we're posing to you. You said?
• 18:52
  Speaker 15: They've been lynching and killing black people all the time.
• 18:54
  Speaker 15: They used to bring their children to watch. So it's
• 18:57
  Speaker 15: no more different than what they used to do back
• 18:59
  Speaker 15: in the day. And you got you got the devil's
• 19:02
  Speaker 15: disciple in the White House. So where are we going
• 19:04
  Speaker 15: with this?
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: I'm from Alabama.
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: I remember when we were kids, we used to see
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: the executions in the Yellow Mama on television after school.
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: And I don't know if anybody remembers that, but I
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: think most people would watch the execution if it was televised.
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: And I don't remember who it was, but it was
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: somebody we watched execute it in the Yellow Mama. That's
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: what they called it, the electric chair down here. And
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: it used to be on after school. I mean, it
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: was commonplace. So I don't see why America wouldn't do
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: it now. As far as I'm concerned, we still do.
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: It's just slow executions.
• 19:34
  Speaker 11: Watching the execution that will weigh on. I'm not doing that.
• 19:38
  Speaker 11: And then that will weigh on everybody's mental health in
• 19:42
  Speaker 11: this country. That's not what this country stands for. We
• 19:46
  Speaker 11: don't do that. They do that in the other countries.
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: And I.
• 19:50
  Speaker 11: Don't condone what he did, but if we're going to
• 19:53
  Speaker 11: do something like that as a nation, then they need
• 19:56
  Speaker 11: to pull all of these other shooters, these other shooters
• 20:00
  Speaker 11: that did these mass shootings in these schools, which were
• 20:03
  Speaker 11: the others. They need to pull them and do the
• 20:06
  Speaker 11: same thing. But we still don't need to be watching that.
• 20:08
  Speaker 11: That still don't need to be televised on national TV.
• 20:13
  Speaker 12: I was on death row for five years in New Jersey. And,
• 20:17
  Speaker 12: of course, I wouldn't want to watch televised executions, but
• 20:20
  Speaker 12: I don't think they should show them anyway because it
• 20:24
  Speaker 12: would make people desensitized to taking somebody's life. Yeah, you
• 20:29
  Speaker 12: got to be a real evil-hearted type of MAGA person
• 20:33
  Speaker 12: who would want to see something like that and be
• 20:36
  Speaker 12: giggling and, you know, all giddy for watching something like that.
• 20:40
  Speaker 12: I would never watch execution on TV, nor I would
• 20:46
  Speaker 12: let anybody in my.
• 20:46
  Speaker 10: Household watch it.
• 20:48
  Speaker 12: What is this world coming to?
• 20:50
  Speaker 10: I think it's just.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: So barbaric, cold and heartless.
• 20:54
  Speaker 10: I mean, it's not entertainment at all.
• 20:57
  Speaker 11: No, I would not watch that.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Hey, guess what? We got a new segment. We're hitting
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: the streets to see what people are saying to the D.O.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Hughley Show. It is time for the Streets of Talker
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: with Trey Five. Hey, bro, this is Trey Five.
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: So the question I got to pose for you is
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: for a billion dollars, would you be OK with never
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: using your sexual organ again?
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Like for a bill, no more sex. Would you be
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: able to do it? Would you do it?
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: Damn.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: That is crazy.
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, bro.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Wow, that's crazy.
• 21:30
  Speaker 8: I'm saying, you got to think about it, bro.
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: That's crazy.
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: A bill?
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: A bill.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Like, you just going to have to go without it.
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: For a bill?
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I could probably do it for a bill.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: For a bill?
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: You can do it. If it was less than a bill,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: hell no. But for a billion.
• 21:44
  Speaker 8: For a billion dollars, would you give up using your
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: sexual organ for life?
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: That's a hard question, Trey. But I'm going to have
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: to take that billion. I'm going to take it. I'll
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: figure the rest out. I'll figure it out.
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: For a billion dollars, would you give up using your
• 22:02
  Speaker 8: sexual organ for life?
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: For a billion dollars... Would you give.
• 22:11
  Speaker 8: Up using your sexual organ?
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I sure will. Well, the streets have spoken.
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: So next time, this has been Trey Five with The
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: Streets Are Talking.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Boy, he going to get a job, boy.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: I know, that's right.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Trey. It is the D.L. Hughley Show, your
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: 2026 edition. If you're going to be in Philadelphia, I
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: will be there this Friday at Miller Theater, along with
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Don Lemon for the D.L. and D.L. Anything Goes Tour.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: And so my book, Charlie Boy, is available right now. Jasmine,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: you're writing a book right now, right?
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: I'm working on one. Yes, I am.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much for asking. Maybe I'll hock it
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: like you when I get the opportunity.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Don't say thanks for asking. It's right here in the notes.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: What do you mean? It says at the four o'clock hour,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I mentioned Jasmine's books.
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: Or else.
• 23:05
  Speaker 10: Or else. Damn, man.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: I wonder why he said that, because it's slotted at 402.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: That's why I said it. Are these excerpts from the
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: diary or is this something different?
• 23:16
  Speaker 10: Yes, indeed.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to be something different. Here he is,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: the military man, Jamal Kingsley, here to expose racism hidden
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: in our everyday lives. Hello, my brothers and sisters.
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: This is Jamal Kingsley, the militant man, here to expose
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: racism hidden in our everyday lives. Why is it you
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: have never looked up into the night sky and burned
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: your eyes? You have never heard of somebody getting moonburned.
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: And you have never heard of somebody getting melanoma from
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: being out too much at night. Well, why is it
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: we are conditioned to be afraid of the dark? The
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: dark ain't never hurt no one. It's obvious it's the
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: light that'll kill you. Think about it, my brother. Why
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: is it white shoes make your feet look big and
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: black shoes make your feet look small? Is it always
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: because the white is trying to be bigger than the black?
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: Think about it, my brother. And why is it? When
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: the white man is mad, he turns red. When he's sad,
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: he turns blue. When he tans, he turns brown. And
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: when he dies, he turns purple. And they want to
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: call us color? Think about it, my brother. This is
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: Jamal Kingsley, the militant man. And until next week, stay
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: woke and.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Think about it, my brother. Now it's time for what
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: you need to know with the one and only Sybil Wilkes.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: It's Sybil Wilkes with what we need to know.
• 24:49
  Speaker 14: Former Vice President Kamala Harris warns world leaders that the
• 24:53
  Speaker 14: window is rapidly closing on establishing global safety rules for
• 24:57
  Speaker 14: artificial intelligence, calling for enforceable international guardrails during a diplomatic
• 25:02
  Speaker 14: speech in South Korea. In Chicago, attorneys filed civil lawsuits
• 25:07
  Speaker 14: on behalf of seven former students from the now closed
• 25:10
  Speaker 14: Holy Angels Catholic School, alleging black boys as young as
• 25:14
  Speaker 14: age five were sexually abused by priests between 19 and 20. 1969,
• 25:18
  Speaker 14: and the year 2002. On the campaign trail, former President
• 25:21
  Speaker 14: Barack Obama released an endorsement video backing Arizona Governor Katie
• 25:25
  Speaker 14: Hobbs in her re-election bid, praising her record on public
• 25:28
  Speaker 14: safety and cost-cutting measures.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: In Minnesota, Northwood School in Cook.
• 25:33
  Speaker 14: Minnesota, is accounting for all 80 documented book bans statewide,
• 25:38
  Speaker 14: removing titles like Charlotte's Web and Books on Racism and
• 25:42
  Speaker 14: the Holocaust following parental complaints.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I'm Sybil Wilkes.
• 25:45
  Speaker 14: Be informed.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Be empowered. Thank you so much, baby girl. Jazz man.

• 26:29
  Speaker 1: all on the One Voyage cruise. What you do have
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: to have is a valid passport. You got to be
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: able to get off work. We can't call your boss
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: for you. We can't do that for you. Now, we
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: can write you a doctor's note. I am a doctor.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: And then you got to get yourself to Miami. So

  Speaker 1: Charlie's Boy, is available. So come check that out. Jasmine Sanders,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: what did you learn today?
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: You know, it's always interesting.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: In-N-Out is always at the top of the list when
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: it comes to, you know, how they pay their workers,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: how they treat their employees. And now they're doing a
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: great thing for their customers. They are one of, I think,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: the only fast food restaurant that's a chain like this
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: that is overhauling their menu by swapping out all of
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: their artificial additives for natural alternatives. So like they've gotten
• 27:36
