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