Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: There was some doubt that we would have a country
- 0:03Speaker 1: right now, but it looks like we might. Yeah. Looks
- 0:07Speaker 1: like we might. We might have one. A lot of
- 0:09Speaker 1: preachers won, huh?
- 0:10Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 0:11Speaker 1: A preacher won in Kansas. A preacher won in Texas. Yeah.
- 0:14Speaker 1: They have the direct connection. They haven't nominated a Democrat
- 0:21Speaker 1: in Kansas for 100 years. Man, Haley's Comet was around
- 0:24Speaker 1: last year. Haley's Comet. And they haven't had a black
- 0:31Speaker 1: senator in Mississippi since Reconstruction to 1870-something. Man. Man, man, oh, man.
- 0:38Speaker 3: You know how bad you had to have been doing
- 0:41Speaker 3: to flip the way, I mean, these red states?
- 0:44Speaker 1: South Carolina. You know how bad you had to be doing?
- 0:45Speaker 1: The Palmetto State. Man. It's chaos.
- 0:51Speaker 2: What is it?
- 0:51Speaker 1: Chaos. Chaos. California, man. Yeah. Mexicans can get back there.
- 0:55Speaker 1: They want their country back. They're getting it, too. Yeah.
- 0:59Speaker 1: One election at a time. I ain't mad at them.
- 1:01Speaker 1: I can't wait, man. I'm telling you. They're going to
- 1:03Speaker 1: come get all the rails and ramps off. Right away. Man,
- 1:10Speaker 1: if you don't move all these small, low shower heads
- 1:13Speaker 1: out of here. I got to clean his belly button.
- 1:16Speaker 1: I swear. If you don't come get these low peep
- 1:22Speaker 1: holes out of here. Oh, sorry. Yeah, it was quite
- 1:29Speaker 1: an historic event. Quite a historic event. Happy birthday to
- 1:33Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. Happy birthday to Chris Jenner. Happy birthday
- 1:36Speaker 1: to Art Garfunkel. That's a dope-ass name right there. That
- 1:39Speaker 1: is a dope name. Simon and Garfunkel. Happy birthday to

- 1:56Speaker 1: to Robert Patrick Terminator. Possibly, of course, happy birthday to
- 2:00Speaker 1: Ike Turner. Man, he was all through that election. They
- 2:05Speaker 1: definitely kicked some ass. Some cake eating going on. Happy
- 2:10Speaker 1: birthday to Roy Rogers, and of course, happy birthday to
- 2:12Speaker 1: the Red Flash, Bill Walton. That's all possibly. We got
- 2:15Speaker 1: a great show lined up for you. Jasmine is going
- 2:18Speaker 1: to have what's trending. I, for my part, will have
- 2:19Speaker 1: a little note from the GED section. It's the D.L.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Hughley Show. I think the height of irony is that
- 2:27Speaker 1: MAGA has spent two years maligning and trying to destroy diversity.
- 2:33Speaker 1: And it was diversity that destroyed MAGA. It was the
- 2:38Speaker 1: black women whose jobs were taken, whose history was eroded.
- 2:42Speaker 1: It was the Latin people who watched their families being
- 2:45Speaker 1: brutalized by mass armed men. It was a coalition of
- 2:49Speaker 1: people who had been assailed and attacked by this administration
- 2:52Speaker 1: in the whole of the country. From Kansas to Buckhead,
- 2:56Speaker 1: places that people hadn't seen progressivism in decades, in hundreds
- 3:00Speaker 1: of years. Kansas, 100 years since it's gone different, voted Democratic.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Mississippi has never, ever had a black Democratic senator. The
- 3:11Speaker 1: last time they had one was 145 years ago during Reconstruction.
- 3:15Speaker 1: He was a Republican. There's a chance for people to
- 3:18Speaker 1: do things that were attacked before. By this administration. And
- 3:21Speaker 1: I think it's ironic that the very unity they try
- 3:24Speaker 1: to destroy, destroy that very movement. But I also think
- 3:27Speaker 1: that I'm underwhelmed by the prospect of being this coalition
- 3:32Speaker 1: that acts so bravely and boldly and historically being shepherded
- 3:36Speaker 1: in by Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. I think it's
- 3:40Speaker 1: fair to critique Chuck Schumer because he's been in the
- 3:43Speaker 1: leadership position before and I was underwhelmed by it. I
- 3:47Speaker 1: think he is not capable of meeting that moment. Now,
- 3:51Speaker 1: what I say doesn't matter. I'm just only giving you
- 3:52Speaker 1: my opinion. I think it's less fair because Hakeem has
- 3:57Speaker 1: never been in a position that he was in the
- 4:00Speaker 1: majority leadership. It was only the minority, and that has
- 4:03Speaker 1: certain drawbacks that everybody can attest to. But the fact
- 4:06Speaker 1: that meeting with Jared Kushner in secrecy a couple of
- 4:09Speaker 1: months before this actual election doesn't inspire confidence. The initial
- 4:14Speaker 1: things I'm hearing you say in your initial meetings with
- 4:18Speaker 1: the press talking about the American people voted you here,
- 4:22Speaker 1: voted you here to get things done. Yes, that's right.
- 4:24Speaker 1: They want affordability and accountability. It's not wrong for the
- 4:27Speaker 1: American people to expect to be able to afford groceries
- 4:29Speaker 1: and gas and Medicare and also to get answers as
- 4:33Speaker 1: to what has happened when this administration has been able
- 4:37Speaker 1: to run unchecked. This administration attacked Venezuela and took hundreds
- 4:42Speaker 1: of millions of dollars. Where is that money? You told
- 4:46Speaker 1: us that you were attacking drug boats in Venezuela. Show
- 4:49Speaker 1: the people the evidence of that. The Qataris gave you
- 4:53Speaker 1: a half a billion dollar plane. Why? You have these
- 4:57Speaker 1: vanity products and you're taking hundreds of millions of dollars in.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Where is that money? Your son had a Russian oligarch
- 5:06Speaker 1: give him money to pay for his wedding. You can
- 5:10Speaker 1: have accountability and affordability. They're not binaries. So I think
- 5:14Speaker 1: that you have an obligation as the leadership of this
- 5:19Speaker 1: new coalition to act as boldly and historically as they did.
- 5:24Speaker 1: They won, and then you need to govern like you won.
- 5:29Speaker 1: I've seen Chuck Schumer in that position, and I was underwhelmed.
- 5:32Speaker 1: This is my perspective. I'm only giving you what I
- 5:34Speaker 1: think about it. Hakeem Jeffries may be less so. I
- 5:37Speaker 1: watched him roll his sleeves up when January 6th happened,
- 5:40Speaker 1: like he was about to get down. That's Hakeem. But
- 5:43Speaker 1: I also watched him meet in secret with Jared Kushner.
- 5:46Speaker 1: That doesn't inspire confidence. And I've heard the initial interactions
- 5:52Speaker 1: with the media, and it seems a bit tepid, and
- 5:55Speaker 1: it certainly seems less worthy of this moment. So I
- 5:58Speaker 1: would say this. Through the Democratic leadership, you should act
- 6:01Speaker 1: as boldly as the people who put you in office did.
- 6:05Speaker 1: You should act as historically as they did. You won.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Act like you won. Govern like you won. Legislate like
- 6:11Speaker 1: you won. And Hakeem, it's a simple thing. You've never
- 6:15Speaker 1: been in this position before. But if you're going to
- 6:17Speaker 1: be the first black person in that position, in the
- 6:22Speaker 1: leader of the majority party, the first one, you have
- 6:25Speaker 1: an obligation to act like Hakeem from Brooklyn for real.
- 6:29Speaker 1: She's jazz.
- 6:30Speaker 5: She smiles.
- 6:33Speaker 1: It's the Jazzy Report on the D.L. Hughley Show.
- 6:37Speaker 3: In a historic stand for culinary heritage and ag sovereignty,
- 6:41Speaker 3: Italy has become the first country in the world to
- 6:43Speaker 3: officially ban the production, sale and import of cultivated meat
- 6:48Speaker 3: and synthetic food. The law applies an uncompromising mandate across
- 6:52Speaker 3: the entire food chain, prohibiting. lab-grown cellular products, even from
- 6:58Speaker 3: being used in animal feed while imposing severe financial penalties
- 7:02Speaker 3: for any and each violation.
- 7:05Speaker 1: I love it. You got to be careful.
- 7:06Speaker 4: I saw that Instagram post where people had ice cream
- 7:09Speaker 4: and it wouldn't melt. They put it in the sink
- 7:11Speaker 4: all night long and leave it in. Hey, man, it
- 7:13Speaker 4: would not melt at all. This ain't ice cream.
- 7:16Speaker 3: Well, not only that, how about the new 3D printed salmon?
- 7:18Speaker 3: Have you seen that?
- 7:19Speaker 1: Oh, no. Yeah, it's disgusting.
- 7:21Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 7:23Speaker 1: I don't know what's real anymore. It's crazy.
- 7:27Speaker 3: Anyway, Airbnb has announced a new house rules policy that
- 7:30Speaker 3: would take effect November 20th, meant to clarify expectations around
- 7:34Speaker 3: house rules and requests and make them more reasonable. One
- 7:38Speaker 3: of the biggest changes is that guests cannot be asked
- 7:41Speaker 3: to complete tasks that require significant effort or time or
- 7:44Speaker 3: would typically be performed by a cleaner like washing the
- 7:48Speaker 3: dishes or putting bed sheets in the laundry.
- 7:51Speaker 1: I didn't even know you had to do all of
- 7:52Speaker 1: that stuff. You don't. I've stayed.
- 7:55Speaker 4: We've had some events, and we do that. We clean
- 7:57Speaker 4: it up anyway. I mean, the basics. We don't wash
- 7:59Speaker 4: the clothes, but we might put it all in the
- 8:01Speaker 4: laundry room, the towels in there.
- 8:02Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on, but they saw enough
- 8:05Speaker 3: need to put out some new rules, I guess, because
- 8:08Speaker 3: either people weren't doing it, or I really don't know.
- 8:12Speaker 3: But I've not really stayed in an Airbnb like that.
- 8:15Speaker 1: But I guess.
- 8:16Speaker 3: common courtesy. If I dirtied up dishes, I'm probably going
- 8:19Speaker 3: to wash them. Now, here's where I will say, If
- 8:22Speaker 3: I'm going to have to pay for a cleaner to
- 8:25Speaker 3: come in after me, some of that stuff is going
- 8:26Speaker 3: to be left undone. I'm not going to pay to...
- 8:29Speaker 3: I'm not going to clean the house and then I pay... No, no, no.
- 8:31Speaker 7: As I understand it, the new rules state that the
- 8:35Speaker 7: clients don't have to clean up anymore.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Yeah, the owner has... Right, but that's what I'm saying.
- 8:38Speaker 3: If I don't have to clean up, don't hit me
- 8:41Speaker 3: with a cleaning fee.
- 8:42Speaker 1: No, you shouldn't. Yeah, at all. It's like a hotel.
- 8:44Speaker 1: That's been the issue. I ain't got to clean up
- 8:46Speaker 1: at the hotel, do I?
- 8:47Speaker 8: Come on.
- 8:47Speaker 4: Right.
- 8:47Speaker 3: That's been the issue, according to what I've read, anyway,
- 8:50Speaker 3: is that, you know... People have been hit with a
- 8:52Speaker 3: cleaning fee, but then told they have to also clean up.
- 8:55Speaker 1: So it's crazy. All right. Not no more. So thank
- 9:00Speaker 1: you for that, Jazz. So a woman is accused of
- 9:04Speaker 1: overreacting after telling her mother-in-law to stop spanking her unruly toddler.
- 9:08Speaker 1: Do you allow other people to spank your children? I
- 9:11Speaker 1: don't think I would allow anybody. I mean, obviously nobody.
- 9:14Speaker 1: But her mother-in-law would be the baby's grandfather or grandmother, right?
- 9:18Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be?
- 9:19Speaker 3: Well, not only that, my thing is if she's at
- 9:21Speaker 3: my house because I'm around her and she's acting up
- 9:23Speaker 3: and the fact that you called.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Her unruly, I'm going to get them legs. If you
- 9:28Speaker 1: don't want me to... Shut up, Stan. Literally, if you
- 9:32Speaker 1: don't want your child to be disciplined when it's at
- 9:34Speaker 1: our house... then either make sure they don't need to
- 9:38Speaker 1: be or keep them over there there you go keep
- 9:41Speaker 1: them over there because you you know what enough time
- 9:45Speaker 1: and if your kids are bad you know if your
- 9:47Speaker 1: kids are bad when grandmamas and granddaddies.
- 9:48Speaker 9: Won't keep them you gotta have it i mean i
- 9:53Speaker 9: remember telling hey man well uh i told d i
- 9:57Speaker 9: said yo i told trey well uh Uncle D will
- 10:00Speaker 9: say something.
- 10:01Speaker 10: You might have a problem with it, but you got Derek. Hey,
- 10:04Speaker 10: beat his ass. He act like he's supposed to. I'll
- 10:07Speaker 10: tell you what I said. We were out to dinner
- 10:08Speaker 10: one time, and Trey, I said, hey, man, come on now.
- 10:12Speaker 10: Wait a minute now. Mind your conduct, baby boy.
- 10:15Speaker 1: I love you. You'll get it. This good-ass meal we
- 10:18Speaker 1: having around deep broad. So do you think, do you allow,
- 10:24Speaker 1: would you allow someone else to spank your children? That's
- 10:26Speaker 1: the question that we're posing to you.
- 10:28Speaker 2: 877-242-2426.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Also, to step on Twitter at D.L. Hughley Radio or
- 10:32Speaker 1: on Facebook, the D.L. Hughley Show. And, of course, the
- 10:34Speaker 1: website is thedlhughleyshow.com. So, you know, a mother, here's the situation.
- 10:41Speaker 11: Okay.
- 10:43Speaker 1: A woman is accused of overreacting after telling her mother-in-law
- 10:46Speaker 1: to stop spanking her unruly toddler. Do you allow other
- 10:50Speaker 1: people to spank your children? Now, here's the thing. Obviously,
- 10:53Speaker 1: if you have that rule in your house where that's
- 10:56Speaker 1: something you're not going to do, then that poses other problems.
- 11:01Speaker 1: But if your parents raised you and you're close enough
- 11:05Speaker 1: to them to even want to leave your child there,
- 11:07Speaker 1: then you obviously have a certain level of trust with them, right? Yeah,
- 11:10Speaker 1: you should.
- 11:11Speaker 3: Well, the fact that you yourself use the adjectives like
- 11:15Speaker 3: unruly and bad. So you already know what kind of
- 11:19Speaker 3: kid you have. And so when you leave them at
- 11:22Speaker 3: your mother-in-law or at your mother's home, you can't expect
- 11:26Speaker 3: them to not recognize the same thing that you see.
- 11:28Speaker 1: And that is your kid is bad. So every now
- 11:30Speaker 1: and then you got to get them legs gotten. I'm
- 11:32Speaker 1: just telling you. Now, I'll tell you what. Nola was
- 11:33Speaker 1: here two months. Everybody jacked her up with me. Everybody
- 11:38Speaker 1: jacked her. You ain't going to do that. She got
- 11:40Speaker 1: jacked up. If it was a grandson, I bet you would. No,
- 11:43Speaker 1: she never did that. I mean, she walked around saying,
- 11:46Speaker 1: damn it all the time, too. I saw the whole video.
- 11:49Speaker 1: So I can't really. I wonder where she got that from.
- 11:52Speaker 2: Me, too.
- 11:53Speaker 1: And I'm going to get to the bottom of it.
- 11:55Speaker 1: And right, I'm going to find out who Todd Nola,
- 11:58Speaker 1: to say God did. And I'm going to find out
- 12:01Speaker 1: who O.J. 's killer. I'm going to find that all
- 12:04Speaker 1: out at the same time. We're going to go to
- 12:06Speaker 1: our social media platform and see what they're saying. Skip,
- 12:10Speaker 1: let's take us out there and see what they're saying.
- 12:12Speaker 4: Oh, Johnny in Oak Cliff says, if your kid is bad,
- 12:15Speaker 4: we got to whoop that ass.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Simply. Yeah. Or keep him home. Listen. It is a pleasure,
- 12:22Speaker 1: a privilege to have a family that is willing to
- 12:25Speaker 1: be to be, you know, you know, to be involved
- 12:29Speaker 1: and make sure in the rearing of your children. But
- 12:31Speaker 1: that is a privilege that comes with certain privileges.
- 12:35Speaker 12: Right.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Membership has its privilege. And one of them, you have
- 12:38Speaker 1: to trust me enough to know that if I had
- 12:40Speaker 1: to put or somebody in this house had to put
- 12:42Speaker 1: their hands on that child, that that child deserved it.
- 12:45Speaker 1: I mean, or keep them at home. Keep them yourself.
- 12:48Speaker 1: That's it.
- 12:49Speaker 3: Well, the other thing is once you become a parent, right,
- 12:51Speaker 3: obviously you're going to take care and do your due
- 12:53Speaker 3: diligence depending on who you allow the child to stay with.
- 12:56Speaker 1: But you also have to think about, OK, this is cute.
- 12:58Speaker 3: I see on social media all the time the kids
- 13:00Speaker 3: doing all of these crazy things and cursing and they
- 13:04Speaker 3: think it's cute when they're three and five. But the
- 13:06Speaker 3: problem is how you practice is how you play. So
- 13:09Speaker 3: this kid is going to grow up and when he's
- 13:10Speaker 3: 10 and 15, it's not going to be cute anymore.
- 13:12Speaker 3: But now you've taught him that this is entertainment and
- 13:14Speaker 3: we laugh at it and we encourage, we encourage what
- 13:16Speaker 3: you're doing.
- 13:17Speaker 1: You got to get them legs. I'm going to keep
- 13:18Speaker 1: saying that. And that's an interesting thing coming from a
- 13:21Speaker 1: girl who dropped her kids off until he was 15.
- 13:23Speaker 1: But I came home every weekend to get them legs.
- 13:28Speaker 1: The question that we're asking, ladies and gentlemen, a woman
- 13:30Speaker 1: is accused of overreacting because she told her mother-in-law that
- 13:34Speaker 1: she could not spank her unruly toddler. Do you allow
- 13:40Speaker 1: other people to spank your children? I think it's unreasonable
- 13:45Speaker 1: to expect someone to keep your child and to feed you.
- 13:50Speaker 1: Like when when Nola came here, she came with no clothes. Right. Nothing.
- 13:55Speaker 1: Everything she needs, she got.
- 13:56Speaker 13: Right.
- 13:57Speaker 4: Right.
- 13:57Speaker 1: And some of some of that was ass whooping.
- 14:00Speaker 2: Right.
- 14:02Speaker 1: Not delivered by her grandfather, but, you know. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- 14:06Speaker 4: I bet this is a problem that happens more and
- 14:08Speaker 4: more because, you know, these generations come in there doing, oh,
- 14:12Speaker 4: don't spank kids.
- 14:13Speaker 1: It causes damage.
- 14:14Speaker 4: And there's been studies to show that, that they don't
- 14:16Speaker 4: do corporal punishment.
- 14:17Speaker 1: The people who did the studies actually need their ass whipped.
- 14:20Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just saying, in general. So I see
- 14:22Speaker 1: this as a more common problem, probably, you know. Junius,
- 14:26Speaker 1: you were saying something off air. I don't want to
- 14:27Speaker 1: miss it. What were you saying? No, I was saying,
- 14:29Speaker 1: you know, like, when we were kids... When my mom.
- 14:32Speaker 7: Would leave us with either relatives or friends, you know,
- 14:35Speaker 7: most of them, we were always taught.
- 14:37Speaker 1: To be on our best behavior and we were.
- 14:40Speaker 14: Right.
- 14:40Speaker 1: But there was one uncle, like my Uncle Joe.
- 14:43Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 14:44Speaker 7: He was straight no chaser. I mean, the smallest infraction,
- 14:48Speaker 7: you was going to get it. So, I mean... Was
- 14:50Speaker 7: he a priest?
- 14:51Speaker 5: No.
- 14:52Speaker 1: Okay. No, he was a longshoreman. Well, look how you
- 14:54Speaker 1: turned out, Junior. Longshoreman, man. Come on now.
- 14:57Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 14:57Speaker 1: With them longshoreman hands. Oh, my God. And that longshoreman belt. Yeah. Bruh.
- 15:03Speaker 1: I had an Aunt Levy made, and we all had
- 15:05Speaker 1: Levy made, so you know that's a... She was Levy.
- 15:08Speaker 1: Levy was her name. And we couldn't stand, stand with her, Jack.
- 15:13Speaker 1: My aunt needed everybody. We could not stand, stand with her.
- 15:15Speaker 1: She was... She just... She didn't have no kids, didn't
- 15:17Speaker 1: want no kids. And let you know it, Jack. You
- 15:20Speaker 1: got to stay with her.
- 15:22Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 15:23Speaker 1: And it was it was hell. But, you know, I
- 15:25Speaker 1: can't say this. She never. Well, here's the thing. I
- 15:29Speaker 1: got my ass whipped so much that I can't tell
- 15:30Speaker 1: you if it was abuse or not. That's kind of
- 15:34Speaker 1: all a blur. I'm not the arbiter of whether it
- 15:36Speaker 1: was abusive or not, but I can tell you this,
- 15:38Speaker 1: that everybody who we stayed with had permission to put
- 15:42Speaker 1: their foot in our ass. Same here. Yeah, so I
- 15:44Speaker 1: guess they solved it by if they can't trust you
- 15:49Speaker 1: to that extent, then they can't trust you at all.
- 15:51Speaker 1: The question we're asking a young woman is called unruly.
- 15:54Speaker 1: I mean, excuse me, unreasonable, because she told her mother
- 15:57Speaker 1: in law that she can't spank her two year old
- 16:00Speaker 1: unruly toddler. Do you think that that was you? Can
- 16:04Speaker 1: someone else spank you? Here's the thing. What you're going
- 16:06Speaker 1: to learn right now, really soon, if you have this
- 16:09Speaker 1: relationship with your with your with your mother in law. Now,
- 16:13Speaker 1: you don't want to cut off the avenues you're going
- 16:15Speaker 1: to need later on. Because you're going to want to
- 16:17Speaker 1: go on vacation, you're going to want to go out
- 16:20Speaker 1: to dinner, and you're going to need them. And if
- 16:23Speaker 1: you damage the relationship, good luck finding a babysitter you've
- 16:27Speaker 1: got to pay for.
- 16:28Speaker 4: Especially with your badass kid. The word get out. The
- 16:31Speaker 4: word get out when you've.
- 16:33Speaker 1: Got a bad kid.
- 16:34Speaker 15: No doubt.
- 16:35Speaker 1: If grandparents won't keep them kids, two things, either they're
- 16:39Speaker 1: ugly or they're bad. And sometimes they're both ugly.
- 16:42Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 16:43Speaker 1: Don't nobody want no ugly bad kids. I mean, come
- 16:45Speaker 1: on now. Are they clumsy? If you're going to be
- 16:51Speaker 1: an ugly kid, you might as well be nice at least.
- 16:53Speaker 1: Come on now. I mean. Is somebody riding in the
- 16:57Speaker 1: car right now looking at the ugly ass kid they
- 16:59Speaker 1: babysitting and cracking up? I'm telling you right now. You
- 17:03Speaker 1: better not say that. You can't eat ugly and have
- 17:07Speaker 1: an ugly attitude. Something got to be beautiful about you.
- 17:09Speaker 1: Something got to give, yeah. Yeah, come on now. Come on.
- 17:14Speaker 1: And you know, the cuter they are, the more you
- 17:16Speaker 1: let them get away with. Ain't that something? Boy, that's
- 17:18Speaker 1: the truth. It's true. The cuter they are.
- 17:20Speaker 4: It is.
- 17:21Speaker 1: Boy, you know what? If you're ugly, baby, and trust me,
- 17:23Speaker 1: I know you couldn't get away with breathing. Yeah.
- 17:26Speaker 2: Nope.
- 17:28Speaker 1: Why you chew like that? Because I don't know.
- 17:31Speaker 4: And then, you know, unfortunately, that goes when you grow up. Hey, man,
- 17:34Speaker 4: pretty people, they get away with more.
- 17:36Speaker 1: And ugly people get radio shows so no one has
- 17:39Speaker 1: to see them on TV. That's what happens. That's what
- 17:42Speaker 1: goes on. So the question we're asking, a woman is
- 17:45Speaker 1: being called unreasonable because she refused to let her mother-in-law
- 17:49Speaker 1: spank her unruly toddler. Do you let other people spank
- 17:53Speaker 1: your children? We're going to go through the phones.
- 17:56Speaker 16: If your child cannot be disciplined at my home or
- 18:01Speaker 16: when they're with me, then they cannot come.
- 18:04Speaker 17: My hairdresser a long.
- 18:05Speaker 16: Time ago had a sign in her shop that said,
- 18:10Speaker 16: do not get offended that I have to correct your child.
- 18:13Speaker 16: Be embarrassed that I had to. So teach the little
- 18:17Speaker 16: demon song babies how to be respectful. Handle them while
- 18:20Speaker 16: they're little, when they're acting up out in public, right
- 18:23Speaker 16: there out in public. And you want to deal with
- 18:26Speaker 16: that when you get a little bit older. But, yes,
- 18:28Speaker 16: you can come to my house if I can't discipline you.
- 18:31Speaker 16: I ain't trying to beat you, but you're going to
- 18:32Speaker 16: be corrected and disciplined if necessary.
- 18:35Speaker 13: Nobody should be touching your child except.
- 18:39Speaker 1: You in that way.
- 18:40Speaker 13: I mean, it can get out of control quick. Families, family,
- 18:45Speaker 13: they tell you what happened, but you still got to
- 18:48Speaker 13: take care of the business. Yeah, you got to be there.
- 18:51Speaker 13: I don't want a teacher spanking my child. I don't
- 18:54Speaker 13: want anybody spanking my child.
- 18:56Speaker 1: No way.
- 18:57Speaker 18: I would let someone else whip my kids.
- 18:59Speaker 1: No, let the parents whip their own kids.
- 19:01Speaker 13: No, I feel it's.
- 19:02Speaker 1: Not right to do because if they leave a scar,
- 19:04Speaker 1: it's going to be bad.
- 19:05Speaker 6: And that's something kids would never forget.
- 19:08Speaker 1: I never had to beat my kids at all, thank God,
- 19:12Speaker 1: and they've grown now. But some of these kids.
- 19:14Speaker 12: These days, they deserve more than a beating, man. They're
- 19:18Speaker 12: very disrespectful.
- 19:20Speaker 1: They don't even respect their parents, so how can they
- 19:22Speaker 1: respect anybody else?
- 19:23Speaker 12: They need more than a beating.
- 19:25Speaker 17: I feel like we need a village. In order to
- 19:28Speaker 17: get a village, if my child is acting up, if
- 19:31Speaker 17: I love you, if I trust you, tear his tail up.
- 19:34Speaker 9: Tear him up.
- 19:35Speaker 5: It depends on who it is that they can whip
- 19:38Speaker 5: your children. But I'm a 60s and 70s baby. I
- 19:41Speaker 5: grew up, if you got in trouble down at Ms.
- 19:43Speaker 5: Johnson's house and she whipped everybody down there. Then she
- 19:47Speaker 5: called your mama and told your mama.
- 19:49Speaker 1: That she whooped you.
- 19:50Speaker 5: And then you were scared to go to bed because
- 19:52Speaker 5: when your daddy got home, you was going to get another.
- 19:54Speaker 5: It kind of depends on who it is these days
- 19:57Speaker 5: and what the kid did.
- 19:58Speaker 8: It depends on who it is.
- 20:00Speaker 14: If it's my relative or someone that's close to me
- 20:03Speaker 14: that I consider being, you know, close to me and
- 20:06Speaker 14: know me and know my kids, I don't have a
- 20:10Speaker 14: problem with that. But other than that, I think a
- 20:12Speaker 14: phone call would be good and then I would.
- 20:14Speaker 13: Get on them.
- 20:15Speaker 12: I'm a granddad. I got nine grandkids, and they know
- 20:18Speaker 12: what to expect when they come to granddaddy house. No
- 20:21Speaker 12: matter how you treat them at your house, they're going
- 20:23Speaker 12: to get disciplined when they come to granddaddy house. So
- 20:26Speaker 12: if you don't want your kids to have discipline, and
- 20:28Speaker 12: then you keep them, and you take care of them yourself,
- 20:30Speaker 12: and don't bring them to me, because if they come
- 20:32Speaker 12: to me, they're going to get disciplined. When they do
- 20:34Speaker 12: something stupid, they're going to get a spanking for it,
- 20:36Speaker 12: and they're going to know what they're doing is wrong,
- 20:38Speaker 12: and that's my way of teaching.
- 20:41Speaker 17: Don't nobody watch my kids but my mother. And I
- 20:44Speaker 17: wouldn't allow them to go to the in-laws, especially if
- 20:46Speaker 17: the in-laws didn't like the parent. And if the kid
- 20:49Speaker 17: wasn't bad, they'd try to take things out on the child. So,
- 20:52Speaker 17: didn't nobody watch my kids but my mother. Because I
- 20:54Speaker 17: have to be in an orange jumpsuit.
- 20:56Speaker 15: I don't look good in orange.
- 20:58Speaker 18: I think you should absolutely allow, you know, I grew
- 21:01Speaker 18: up in an era where, you know, Mr.
- 21:02Speaker 13: Jenkins, you're cursing outside playing basketball, and we played on
- 21:05Speaker 13: the crate, and kids go upside their heads, you know,
- 21:08Speaker 13: because Mr.
- 21:08Speaker 1: Jenkins knew your mother, you know, your.
- 21:09Speaker 12: Grandmother and stuff. So I think the.
- 21:12Speaker 1: Problem is we don't allow village to raise our kids
- 21:14Speaker 1: no more. You know, we get those 24-year-old, you know,
- 21:18Speaker 1: 20-year-old mothers, and they want to get all ghetto with.
- 21:21Speaker 12: You when you try to correct their child, man.
- 21:24Speaker 1: I think that's the problem.
- 21:26Speaker 8: I'm okay with someone else disciplining my kid. However, I
- 21:31Speaker 8: won't leave my kid with someone who will pick up
- 21:35Speaker 8: anything to beat their kid.
- 21:37Speaker 12: Like, you know, if they act out, that's right.
- 21:39Speaker 4: Go ahead.
- 21:39Speaker 1: But don't pick up an iron and hit my baby.
- 21:41Speaker 1: I can hear somebody getting ass whipped right now. That's great.
- 21:45Speaker 1: So the question we're asking a woman that's being called
- 21:47Speaker 1: unreasonable because she refuses to let her mother-in-law spank her
- 21:51Speaker 1: unruly or badass. See, unruly ain't a word we use.
- 21:54Speaker 1: You're a badass little toddler. Do you allow people to
- 21:57Speaker 1: spank your children? We're going through the phones.
- 21:59Speaker 12: I was raised in the, it takes a village era.
- 22:02Speaker 11: That would absolutely allow for my children to be disciplined
- 22:05Speaker 11: by someone else.
- 22:07Speaker 12: James Brown put it best. Papa don't take no mess.
- 22:10Speaker 12: You know, my kids act up. My grandbabies act up.
- 22:12Speaker 12: They get lit up. So, you know, like D.L. said,
- 22:15Speaker 12: if you don't want that kid in my house, you
- 22:18Speaker 12: don't want me disciplining, don't bring him over.
- 22:20Speaker 8: Right.
- 22:20Speaker 18: That's what I'm saying. If I'm keeping your child and
- 22:24Speaker 18: you know your child is bad and you don't want
- 22:26Speaker 18: nobody putting hands on them, you stay at home and
- 22:28Speaker 18: keep your own child. Keep your own child. Then you
- 22:31Speaker 18: don't have to worry about it.
- 22:33Speaker 15: I say hell to the no, to the no, no, no.
- 22:36Speaker 15: When my kid was coming up, I didn't allow nobody
- 22:38Speaker 15: to discipline my kids, teach my kids. When they started
- 22:41Speaker 15: going to school, that's the first thing I did, to
- 22:43Speaker 15: sign a relief that you cannot spank or discipline my kids.
- 22:47Speaker 15: I'm going to do that. Their mom is going to
- 22:49Speaker 15: do that. My grandparents, that's something different. My mom and dad, hey,
- 22:54Speaker 15: you got free wills because I understand that they're going
- 22:56Speaker 15: to do.
- 22:56Speaker 1: It in love.
- 22:57Speaker 15: They're not going to hurt them. They're not going to
- 22:59Speaker 15: try to hurt them. They're not going to do anything.
- 23:01Speaker 15: But if they're not their grandparents, Can't nobody else discipline
- 23:04Speaker 15: my kid? Because I've been through school, and I understand
- 23:08Speaker 15: how they used to power us, and sometimes I think
- 23:10Speaker 15: you got out of hand. So, nope, I will allow
- 23:13Speaker 15: no one to discipline my kid, no one to power
- 23:15Speaker 15: my kid or spank my kid.
- 23:17Speaker 1: If it's a relative of mine, grandparents, I don't mind
- 23:21Speaker 1: them disciplining my child. Anybody else? No. You know, I
- 23:25Speaker 1: think that there's a lot of merit to the way
- 23:27Speaker 1: that children are being raised right now. I don't think
- 23:29Speaker 1: that every infraction deserves physical punishment.
- 23:32Speaker 2: Right.
- 23:33Speaker 1: But I do think that there are two year olds
- 23:36Speaker 1: like like even even that, you know, when they get
- 23:39Speaker 1: into that phase, you have to do something that corrects them. Yeah.
- 23:44Speaker 1: And I'm not saying they always got to be a woman,
- 23:46Speaker 1: but I will say this. No, let's hear for two months.
- 23:49Speaker 1: She got jacked up by everybody but me. Well, you
- 23:54Speaker 1: have to.
- 23:54Speaker 3: I mean, I'm telling you, I firmly believe that's what,
- 23:57Speaker 3: you know, being a parent partially is about is discipline.
- 24:01Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 24:01Speaker 3: And understanding who to give that permission to discipline your
- 24:06Speaker 3: kid or not. And I think if you allow a
- 24:08Speaker 3: kid to just be unruly and you know it, you're
- 24:11Speaker 3: a terrible parent.
- 24:12Speaker 1: You're terrible. Yeah, I think so, too. And you know what?
- 24:15Speaker 1: You really are a blessed person if you have a
- 24:18Speaker 1: family around you who's willing to take your children on.
- 24:21Speaker 1: You're blessed. It's true. And you do not. That is
- 24:23Speaker 1: a very tenuous relationship. And one of those is the
- 24:26Speaker 1: thing that could damage that relationship. It's trying to tell
- 24:28Speaker 1: somebody who raised you or raised the person you with
- 24:31Speaker 1: how to raise somebody.
- 24:32Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 24:33Speaker 1: And a lot of times. Go ahead. I'm sorry. What
- 24:36Speaker 1: were you going to say?
- 24:36Speaker 7: No, I said a lot of times it's for the
- 24:38Speaker 7: kids own good. I mean, especially toddlers that are unruly.
- 24:41Speaker 7: They'll go in the kitchen and try to mess around
- 24:43Speaker 7: with hot stuff. I had a toddler that we used
- 24:46Speaker 7: to have to take care of, and he was fascinated
- 24:49Speaker 7: with the extension cord plug, and he would always be
- 24:52Speaker 7: trying to put his finger in there.
- 24:54Speaker 1: You know, so, you know, you let him do it
- 24:55Speaker 1: one time. He'll learn. Oh, he might not do it.
- 24:58Speaker 1: That's how I learned. I learned that way. I like
- 25:01Speaker 1: to call it arrhythmia, right?
- 25:02Speaker 8: Exactly.
- 25:03Speaker 1: Like, come on. Make you sit down for a while.
- 25:06Speaker 1: What did they say? Experience is not the best teacher.
- 25:09Speaker 1: Experience is the harshest teacher because... The lesson comes after
- 25:15Speaker 1: the problem.
- 25:16Speaker 4: Tell that little boy, stop crying and slick your hair
- 25:19Speaker 4: back down now.
- 25:20Speaker 1: Come on. I learned that lesson myself. It is time
- 25:24Speaker 1: for This Week in Music with my man Trey. What's good, y'all?
- 25:28Speaker 2: It's time to turn back the clock for another edition
- 25:30Speaker 2: of This Week in Music History, celebrating the artists, albums,
- 25:35Speaker 2: and moments that crafted all of our playlists. This week,
- 25:39Speaker 2: we're bringing some real heavy hitters to the table. Starting
- 25:42Speaker 2: off on a not-so-high note with the tragic death of
- 25:45Speaker 2: Marvin Gaye.
- 25:46Speaker 1: What's going on? What's going on?
- 25:49Speaker 2: And if you don't know, his daddy shot him. Yeah,
- 25:53Speaker 2: his dad shot him. And stories like this really make
- 25:56Speaker 2: me act right around my father. Like, I don't think
- 25:58Speaker 2: he's that unstable to up-fi on me, but this is
- 26:02Speaker 2: proof a nigga can get there.
- 26:04Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna take it there. Marvin Gaye Sr.
- 26:07Speaker 2: Was sentenced to a suspended six-year prison term. Five years
- 26:12Speaker 2: probation after pleading no contest to the voluntary manslaughter in
- 26:16Speaker 2: the shooting death of his son. It was a heartbreaking
- 26:19Speaker 2: end to one of the most unforgettable voices of all time.
- 26:23Speaker 2: Marvin Gaye Sr. died in 1998, putting a cap on
- 26:27Speaker 2: one of the most tragic stories in music. On a
- 26:30Speaker 2: lighter note, November 2nd is a big birthday doubleheader. Happy
- 26:35Speaker 2: birthday to Nelly, born in 1974.
- 26:37Speaker 8: Oh!
- 26:40Speaker 1: The St.
- 26:41Speaker 2: Louis superstar who gave us country grammar hot in here,
- 26:44Speaker 2: and the unforgettable duet with Kelly Rowland, Dilemma.
- 26:48Speaker 1: Fun fact, I got a picture with her when I
- 26:50Speaker 1: was a baby. But, hey, hey, let me not say
- 26:52Speaker 1: too much.
- 26:53Speaker 2: And sharing that same birthday, like exact same, down to
- 26:57Speaker 2: the year, the late, great prodigy of Mobb Deep.
- 27:00Speaker 1: I got you stuck off the realness. We be the infamous,
- 27:03Speaker 1: you heard of us.
- 27:04Speaker 2: Born in 1974, the Queensbridge lyricist helped build some of
- 27:09Speaker 2: the grittiest, and most influential.
- 27:12Speaker 1: East Coast hip-hop ever recorded. Rest in peace to the
- 27:16Speaker 1: legendary prodigy.
- 27:18Speaker 2: Also on November 2nd, Mariah Carey released her album, Rainbow,
- 27:22Speaker 2: featuring Heartbreaker with Jay-Z and Thank God I Found You
- 27:25Speaker 2: featuring Joe and 98 Degrees. Mariah continued to show the
- 27:29Speaker 2: world that she could effortlessly move between R & B, pop,
- 27:33Speaker 2: and hip-hop.
- 27:38Speaker 1: And again, she's one of the greatest.
- 27:40Speaker 2: I don't know if I have a little extra bias
- 27:43Speaker 2: because she is my favorite female vocalist of all time.
- 27:46Speaker 1: But man, these are some unforgettable records.
- 27:50Speaker 2: And speaking of Mariah, let's now focus on an artist
- 27:53Speaker 2: she had a little feud with in the 2000s. On
- 27:57Speaker 2: November 5th, 2013, Eminem released the Marshall Mathers LP 2.
- 28:02Speaker 2: The sequel to his legendary 2000 album brought us Berserk,
- 28:07Speaker 2: Rap God and the Monster featuring Rihanna.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Slim Shady was.
- 28:13Speaker 2: Just reminding everybody his lyrical prowess and how dangerous he
- 28:18Speaker 2: was behind the mic. And to end it off, I
- 28:21Speaker 2: need to shout out one of our modern top dogs.
- 28:23Speaker 2: Happy birthday to SZA, R & B superstar who was
- 28:27Speaker 2: born November 8th, 1989, who brought us modern classics like
- 28:31Speaker 2: Love Galore, Kill Bill, and Snooze.
- 28:34Speaker 1: And I just got to.
- 28:35Speaker 2: Put extra love on this shout out because SZA is
- 28:38Speaker 2: genuinely one of my favorite artists out right now.
- 28:41Speaker 1: So happy birthday, SZA.
- 28:44Speaker 2: All this musical greatness packed into seven days is crazy.
- 28:48Speaker 2: And their continued relevance makes one thing abundantly clear. The
- 28:51Speaker 2: greats never die. That's your Rewind for this week. This
- 28:56Speaker 2: has been Trey Five with This Week in Music History.
- 28:59Speaker 2: Keep the classics spinning and keep making memories.
- 29:02Speaker 1: With the music. It's the D.L. Hughley Show, your 2026 edition.
- 29:06Speaker 1: Remember that if you were going to be in Detroit,
- 29:08Speaker 1: I'll be there this weekend at the Music Hall, the
- 29:10Speaker 1: Detroit City Music Hall. Is that it? Is that where
- 29:12Speaker 1: Matt Jr. is, I think? Yeah, let's take a peek.
- 29:14Speaker 1: Let's take a gander at it and see where we're at. Yeah,
- 29:17Speaker 1: see where the D.L. Hughley is. I don't know. I
- 29:19Speaker 1: can't know that. Why would I know that? Why would
- 29:22Speaker 1: I not know where I am? It's so crazy.
- 29:24Speaker 4: You know what's interesting about D.L.
- 29:27Speaker 1: 's memory? Now, I remember most of it.
- 29:31Speaker 4: You have a great memory. You can remember the clothes
- 29:34Speaker 4: that you wore. If I said, hey, during Christmas, two
- 29:36Speaker 4: years ago, what did you wear?
- 29:37Speaker 1: I can remember that. But you can't remember where the
- 29:39Speaker 1: hell you're going to be performing. But you know what?
- 29:41Speaker 1: I know why it is, because I'm so depressed that, like,
- 29:44Speaker 1: if I start looking at my schedule and, you know,
- 29:47Speaker 1: it'll get daunting for me. Plus, this is a long title.
- 29:50Speaker 1: This is the Masonic Jack White Theater. The Masonic Jack
- 29:54Speaker 1: White Theater in Detroit. And where am I at in Detroit?
- 29:59Speaker 1: In New Orleans? Yeah, the Orpheum Theater. That's easy. Oh,
- 30:03Speaker 1: that's easy. The Masonic Jack White Theater. There's Friday, Saturday,
- 30:06Speaker 1: the Orpheum Theater with myself, Don Lemon, DL and DL.
- 30:09Speaker 1: Anything goes. We're going to have a lot to talk about.
- 30:12Speaker 1: Am I wrong? Like, I really don't hold much hope
- 30:15Speaker 1: out for Chuck Schumer. And it's based on a sample
- 30:18Speaker 1: size because I saw him be majority leader before. And
- 30:23Speaker 1: I saw him do some deaf things. Like he played
- 30:26Speaker 1: Trump like a fiddle one time. I saw that. Right.
- 30:28Speaker 1: But I think this iteration of these new voters, this
- 30:34Speaker 1: new coalition made history. And I need to make sure
- 30:38Speaker 1: that the leadership or we need to make sure the
- 30:40Speaker 1: leadership that they are handing this coalition off to is
- 30:44Speaker 1: capable of handling this level. This is something we've never
- 30:47Speaker 1: seen before. Yeah. You know, you have Kansas all the
- 30:52Speaker 1: way to Buckhead. You know, you might win Mississippi. So
- 30:56Speaker 1: that takes, you know what I'm saying? And I just...
- 30:59Speaker 1: And I think if Hakeem is going to be the
- 31:01Speaker 1: first black speaker, he needs to act like Hakeem from
- 31:03Speaker 1: Brooklyn for real. Not just wearing the hats and bopping
- 31:05Speaker 1: the Jay-Z. I need for you to act like that.
- 31:08Speaker 1: The same, took his shirts off, ready to get down
- 31:10Speaker 1: on January 6th. Do that in the halls of Congress. What? Yeah.
- 31:15Speaker 7: Well, the last two years they've learned, if nothing else,
- 31:17Speaker 7: that they ain't got no friends across the aisle.
- 31:19Speaker 1: So don't have to act like it. Just go on
- 31:21Speaker 1: and get to business. And the great thing about it
- 31:23Speaker 1: is the Congress is so big. It's like 255 seats.
- 31:27Speaker 1: So you could lose 30 seats and still get something.
- 31:29Speaker 1: There's no reason for them not to craft an agenda
- 31:32Speaker 1: to move this nation forward. No reason at all. And
- 31:34Speaker 1: I don't think affordability is the enemy of accountability. I
- 31:38Speaker 1: think the American people have the right to know what
- 31:41Speaker 1: this man has done in their name. Yeah. The law
- 31:43Speaker 1: is the law. So it ain't. But we'll see. And
- 31:47Speaker 1: get right to it. Oh, we're going to see. Starting
- 31:49Speaker 1: with making sure that, like, when he was still out
- 31:54Speaker 1: in public. So you know what he'd do out in
- 31:55Speaker 1: the dark. He was still on public. This dude stole
- 32:00Speaker 1: from charities while he was stealing from a school. So
- 32:03Speaker 1: come on now. Now, please welcome the militant man, Jamal Kingsley,
- 32:06Speaker 1: who had exposed racism hidden in our everyday lives. Hello,
- 32:09Speaker 1: my brothers and sisters. This is Jamal Kingsley, the militant man.
- 32:14Speaker 6: He had exposed racism hidden in our everyday lives.
- 32:19Speaker 2: Why is it?
- 32:20Speaker 6: My black lack of furniture has gone out of style.
- 32:24Speaker 6: But my all-white Air Force Ones never go.
- 32:27Speaker 1: Out of style. Is it because when you're black, your
- 32:31Speaker 1: time is limited?
- 32:33Speaker 6: Think about it, my brother. And why is it the
- 32:37Speaker 6: most popular fruit in the world is bananas? But as
- 32:40Speaker 6: soon as they turn brown, you want to throw them
- 32:43Speaker 6: away and buy some new ones. I guess the browner
- 32:47Speaker 6: you are, the closer you get to being replaced.
- 32:50Speaker 1: Think about it, my brother.
- 32:53Speaker 6: And why is it, to get credit, you have to
- 32:56Speaker 6: use your white voice?
- 32:58Speaker 15: Greetings, Mr.
- 32:59Speaker 13: Hirsch.
- 33:00Speaker 15: I would like to apply for an extension on my
- 33:02Speaker 15: jumbo load. Oh, I'm already approved?
- 33:05Speaker 1: At zero interest? And I don't have to make my
- 33:08Speaker 1: first payment until 2028?
- 33:09Speaker 13: Splendid!
- 33:09Speaker 1: Have a good day.
- 33:14Speaker 6: While me, on the other hand, have to make weekly
- 33:17Speaker 6: payments at 32% interest on this raggedy-ass black lacquer furniture.
- 33:23Speaker 6: Think about it, my brother. This has been Jamal Kingsley,
- 33:28Speaker 6: the Militant Man. And until next time, stay woke and
- 33:33Speaker 6: think about it, my brother.
- 33:34Speaker 1: We're going to talk about the continued fallout from this election.
- 33:36Speaker 1: That's up in less than 15 minutes. Now it's time
- 33:38Speaker 1: for What You Need to Know with the one and
- 33:39Speaker 1: only Sybil Wills. It's Sybil Wilkes with what we need
- 33:42Speaker 1: to know.
- 33:43Speaker 11: Former President Barack Obama is praising Democratic candidates following sweeping
- 33:48Speaker 11: midterm victories that flipped critical Senate and gubernatorial seats across
- 33:52Speaker 11: the country, calling the outcome a clear message from voters
- 33:56Speaker 11: demanding unity and solutions. The balance in the United States
- 34:00Speaker 11: Senate remains in focus as counting continues in Mississippi, where
- 34:04Speaker 11: Democrat Scott Cullum leads Cindy Hyde-Smith by roughly 1,100 votes.
- 34:09Speaker 11: And in Alaska, Democrat Mary Peltola narrowly leads Dan Sullivan.
- 34:13Speaker 11: On Capitol Hill, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries officially launched
- 34:18Speaker 11: his historic bid to become the nation's first black Speaker
- 34:21Speaker 11: of the House following Tuesday's congressional sweep. On the hardwoods,
- 34:25Speaker 11: San Antonio Spurs phenom Victor Wimbayama put up a monster
- 34:29Speaker 11: performance last night, scoring 52 points, pulling down 24 rebounds,
- 34:34Speaker 11: and blocking eight shots to edge the Dallas Mavericks 112-111.
- 34:39Speaker 1: I'm Sybil Wilkes.
- 34:40Speaker 6: Be informed.
- 34:40Speaker 1: Be empowered.
- 34:42Speaker 15: Jasmine?
- 34:43Speaker 3: Paid.
- 34:43Speaker 1: Okay, we're going to keep on going then. I insist.
- 34:46Speaker 1: It's the D.L. Hughley Show. It's the 2026 edition. Remember
- 34:49Speaker 1: that if you're going to be in Detroit, I'm going
- 34:50Speaker 1: to be at the Jack White Theater. A Friday and
- 34:53Speaker 1: then Saturday at the Orphan in, of course, New Orleans.
- 34:58Speaker 1: What's that song? Everybody. What is that song? If you
- 35:02Speaker 1: if you're not if you're not taking the lumps and
- 35:04Speaker 1: bruises with me, if you're not there when I'm down,
- 35:06Speaker 1: don't come around when I'm up. And I think that
- 35:08Speaker 1: there are a lot of people, particularly black mega people,
- 35:10Speaker 1: and they know who I'm talking about. We don't need
- 35:12Speaker 1: your advice now. We took Texas. We don't want the South.
- 35:15Speaker 1: And we did it without your help.
- 35:16Speaker 4: So you see, you got the sophisticated song. So I'm
- 35:19Speaker 4: going to break it down for the song that we
- 35:20Speaker 4: all know. Mike Jones. Back then you didn't want me.
- 35:23Speaker 1: Now I'm hot. You're all on. Right. You spent your
- 35:27Speaker 1: whole time degrading black women on Fox News to the
- 35:31Speaker 1: point that they gave you a thumbs down. How dare
- 35:33Speaker 1: you tell us they made history without your help or advice.
- 35:37Speaker 2: Right.
- 35:38Speaker 1: They made history without it. Ain't it ironic that MAGA
- 35:41Speaker 1: tried to destroy diversity and diversity ended up destroying MAGA?
- 35:47Speaker 1: It is the people who were less than, the people
- 35:50Speaker 1: who you sided against that did this.
- 35:52Speaker 2: Yep.
- 35:52Speaker 1: And, you know, pardon, you did not help. You said
- 35:56Speaker 1: up there was going to dinner with them. You said
- 35:58Speaker 1: up there was going on their talk shows and repeating
- 36:01Speaker 1: the same things they were saying. Miss me with that. Please. Listen,
- 36:06Speaker 1: you actually think black women are going to listen to
- 36:08Speaker 1: anything you have to say? Yeah. And I don't think
- 36:12Speaker 1: it's wrong for them to expect, hey, listen, as bad
- 36:15Speaker 1: as he did them, a little skin ain't going to hurt.
- 36:18Speaker 1: They got to get some kickback, baby, a little bit.
- 36:23Speaker 1: You got to get a lick back somewhere. You know,
- 36:24Speaker 1: we can be cool after I get me a lick back.
- 36:27Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
- 36:27Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 36:30Speaker 1: We don't need you. We did it without your help.
- 36:33Speaker 1: You wasn't advocating for people.
- 36:35Speaker 2: No.
- 36:36Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, you were platforming the people
- 36:39Speaker 1: that people were running against. What wasn't he? You were
- 36:43Speaker 1: platforming MAGA. How dare you? We don't need you no more.
- 36:47Speaker 1: I do think that there is a there is no
- 36:50Speaker 1: point in just having a vengeance to her because like
- 36:53Speaker 1: it or not, that's what Trump did. He went on
- 36:55Speaker 1: a vengeance to her. And that didn't serve him. He
- 36:59Speaker 1: went on a vengeance and a dumb legislation. All he
- 37:01Speaker 1: did was propose dumb legislation and Trump up fervorless charges
- 37:06Speaker 1: on people. I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is
- 37:09Speaker 1: you can have affordability and accountability. You can do this
- 37:12Speaker 1: and that. Yeah. Yep. And if you're going to open
- 37:16Speaker 1: those Epstein files and somebody's in it, as opposed to
- 37:19Speaker 1: letting us know, tell us what you're going to do
- 37:20Speaker 1: about it. Because if you're not going to arrest nobody
- 37:22Speaker 1: and you're not going to drum nobody out from their job,
- 37:25Speaker 1: then what are we hearing about it for? Yeah. And
- 37:28Speaker 1: I don't care who it is.
- 37:30Speaker 2: Right.
- 37:30Speaker 1: Who was ever on that list. If that statute of
- 37:31Speaker 1: limitations that they should be pursued by the Department of Justice,
- 37:34Speaker 1: no matter who they are. That's why they was put
- 37:38Speaker 1: in there. That's exactly. That's what the people want. People
- 37:40Speaker 1: want accountability and affordability. I want to find out what
- 37:43Speaker 1: you did with all that oil money you got from Venezuela.
- 37:45Speaker 1: Where that at? They thought Bill Clinton was all up
- 37:48Speaker 1: in there and it was all Trump. I tell you what,
- 37:50Speaker 1: whoever in there, I ain't got. I don't have a
- 37:53Speaker 1: favorite pedophile. I don't. No. I ain't got one. That's right.
- 37:57Speaker 16: No.
- 37:59Speaker 1: But you see Russell Brand, he got convicted of sexual assault.
- 38:02Speaker 1: So he is right now. He's number one candidate for
- 38:05Speaker 1: the Republican nominee for president. Oh, rapist. Come on in.
- 38:14Speaker 1: Come on in. That's our man. Come on in. All right.
- 38:19Speaker 1: So the follow up on the election continues every day.
- 38:21Speaker 1: I guess there were four or five more seats. That
- 38:26Speaker 1: that trickling down. And let's be clear. Donald Trump, when
- 38:32Speaker 1: he won this election, he won in very close margins.
- 38:36Speaker 1: It was some ass whippings handed out. It was these
- 38:40Speaker 1: handed out some headaches.
- 38:42Speaker 8: Oh, man.
- 38:43Speaker 1: Like that woman, that young lady woman, she beat Hot
- 38:47Speaker 1: Wheels by like double digits. Oh, yeah. From the rip.
- 38:51Speaker 1: I mean, she gave up. He quit early. Like, hey, man,
- 38:53Speaker 1: ain't no point in me even calculating.
- 38:56Speaker 7: We use every calculator we got. There ain't no way
- 38:59Speaker 7: you're going to win.
- 38:59Speaker 1: Teller Rico beat him by double digits. I heard Ted
- 39:03Speaker 1: Cruz say something he never thought he'd say. He made
- 39:05Speaker 1: a public service about it. He said he's the only
- 39:07Speaker 1: statewide elected official that's a Republican right now. Yep, I
- 39:11Speaker 1: told you, they lost all the elections. And that's only
- 39:13Speaker 1: because he wasn't up for election. And I'm going to
- 39:16Speaker 1: tell you this. This is the first time in history,
- 39:18Speaker 1: because it is the state houses that have decided the
- 39:21Speaker 1: course of our lot in life. Everybody talk about what
- 39:25Speaker 1: Dems done for you now. Sixty percent of the African-American
- 39:28Speaker 1: population in America lived in southern regions. of the United
- 39:30Speaker 1: States of America, and they had solid Republican blocs, solid,
- 39:35Speaker 1: for decades. Now it's a fair question. If you own
- 39:38Speaker 1: state houses, I think it's a fair question now. But
- 39:41Speaker 1: I obviously don't think right away, but I think that–
- 39:44Speaker 1: today or tomorrow, but if you own the state houses
- 39:48Speaker 1: and you own the state legislatures, then black people have
- 39:52Speaker 1: a right to expect something. Correct. It's disingenuous to say
- 39:57Speaker 1: because black people tend to vote at the federal level,
- 39:59Speaker 1: but at the federal level, the money trickles down to
- 40:05Speaker 1: the state and they disperse it.
- 40:07Speaker 2: Yep.
- 40:08Speaker 1: But if you're the state and you get to decide
- 40:10Speaker 1: who disperse it, you have a say in it. Sure do.
- 40:13Speaker 1: And we talked Kansas had not had a progressive person
- 40:19Speaker 1: voted in for 100 years. Mississippi has not had a
- 40:23Speaker 1: black elected official, a black senator since for 145 years.
- 40:28Speaker 1: And the last one they had was they have never
- 40:30Speaker 1: had a black Democrat be elected. Never. So it is
- 40:36Speaker 1: fair now in a year or so if these people,
- 40:39Speaker 1: like particularly in Georgia, If there are so many people
- 40:42Speaker 1: who are who are or, you know, seated throughout the
- 40:45Speaker 1: the the the governance of state legislator is fair. It's
- 40:50Speaker 1: a fair question.
- 40:51Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 40:51Speaker 1: More than fair. Texas was solidly red. Georgia was solidly red.
- 40:56Speaker 1: Tennessee solidly red. Mississippi solidly red. Sixty percent of the
- 41:01Speaker 1: American black African-American population lived in those in those fiefdoms.
- 41:06Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 41:07Speaker 1: They weren't successful with their redrawing district. Where they were
- 41:10Speaker 1: successful is Tennessee. And they got that young brother.
- 41:14Speaker 7: Yeah, well, you know, all those state autocracies that they
- 41:17Speaker 7: lived under, you know, was one thing. But when you
- 41:19Speaker 7: got a president that expanded on it, it was like, oh,
- 41:23Speaker 7: enough of this.
- 41:24Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. When you get Kansas, when
- 41:27Speaker 1: you get Iowa, when you get South Carolina, when you
- 41:31Speaker 1: get Texas, when you get Georgia, anybody can get got.
- 41:35Speaker 2: Yep.
- 41:36Speaker 1: Anybody can get got. Anybody. And now that we know
- 41:41Speaker 1: we can do it, anybody can get got. Ain't no
- 41:45Speaker 1: safe district. They're defeating them. They whooping their ass in
- 41:48Speaker 1: their front yard. Yep. And they little old gerrymandered. Man,
- 41:52Speaker 1: and you had every advantage that's still lost. So all
- 41:56Speaker 1: of these people, now the people that are left understand
- 41:59Speaker 1: I ain't safe. We're from all the way to Alaska
- 42:02Speaker 1: to Atlanta. And they spent billions of dollars.
- 42:06Speaker 6: Yeah, man.
- 42:06Speaker 1: Billions of dollars. And all that Elon Musk money. I
- 42:10Speaker 1: don't know what's worse for somebody to take, AIPAC or Elon.
- 42:15Speaker 1: They made that money radioactive. This dude spent a half
- 42:18Speaker 1: a billion dollars. He was trying to buy a center
- 42:19Speaker 1: of the interstate.
- 42:20Speaker 2: Yep.
- 42:22Speaker 1: He got to do it. Ain't that something? You moved
- 42:24Speaker 1: to California because they were too progressive. And now Texas
- 42:27Speaker 1: is progressive. All right, E-Line, go to Florida next.
- 42:33Speaker 3: We'll fix it.
- 42:34Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where you better go to. We'll fix it.
- 42:35Speaker 8: Yep.
- 42:36Speaker 1: Because this is down there. Do whatever you want. Yep. Yeah,
- 42:40Speaker 1: he's for sale. All right, that's going to do it
- 42:42Speaker 1: for us, ladies and gentlemen. It's the DL Hughley Show. Remember,
- 42:45Speaker 1: tomorrow I'm going to be at the Jack White Theater
- 42:47Speaker 1: in Detroit. Also, the following day, I will be at
- 42:50Speaker 1: the Orphan in New Orleans for the DL and DL Tour.
- 42:53Speaker 1: All right, what did you learn today, Skip? Man, I'll
- 42:55Speaker 1: tell you what. We're getting ready to get off the air, man.
- 42:57Speaker 1: I am going down.
- 42:58Speaker 4: I got to host the– Dallas Smokefest D9 party, man.
- 43:01Speaker 4: So all the D9 organization, we're going to be out kicking.
- 43:03Speaker 1: It tonight, having a good time with Dallas Smokefest. Man,
- 43:05Speaker 1: have a few for me. Lofty spaces. If you're in
- 43:07Speaker 1: the area, come holler. Have a few for me, baby boy.
- 43:12Speaker 1: Have a few for me. Junior's handed the king.
- 43:15Speaker 7: What did you learn today? Well, I learned, you know,
- 43:17Speaker 7: the afterglow is still very, very high here. And like
- 43:20Speaker 7: I said, as we watch these tallies of more and
- 43:22Speaker 7: more people coming in, you know, and I'm just excited,
- 43:26Speaker 7: just like they're excited, and they're ready to get to work.
- 43:28Speaker 1: So I can't wait to see him work. And man,
- 43:31Speaker 1: act like a king. That's right. Act like a king.
- 43:34Speaker 1: We're going to stay on them though. Yeah. For sure.
- 43:37Speaker 1: I think it's reasonable that if you own the state
- 43:40Speaker 1: houses and the state legislature, there's a reason. So a
- 43:42Speaker 1: black woman has never been in charge. I don't know
- 43:45Speaker 1: that Georgia's ever had a black governor at all. No, never.
- 43:50Speaker 1: They've only been, if I'm not mistaken, there are more
- 43:52Speaker 1: black governors now at this point than there were in history.
- 43:55Speaker 1: But a black governor also needs a black legislator. I mean, a,
- 43:58Speaker 1: A progressive governor needs a progressive legislature because all the
- 44:00Speaker 1: time they're fighting back and forth. They do have the
- 44:02Speaker 1: veto power, but some of these were so entrenched, they
- 44:06Speaker 1: had the veto power. Even now, before Abbott leaves out
- 44:10Speaker 1: of office, they're trying to They're trying to live in
- 44:15Speaker 1: her power. You know what they said? They said she
- 44:17Speaker 1: would have authoritarian power. If she would have it, that
- 44:19Speaker 1: meant he had it. As they well know. Man, if
- 44:23Speaker 1: you don't get them wheelchair ramps and rails up that
- 44:25Speaker 1: office and hurry your ass up. And you know what?
- 44:27Speaker 1: Bring back the state handicap placard. Bring that back. Well,
- 44:32Speaker 1: you talk about Georgia, man. They've never had a black governor.
- 44:36Speaker 1: Warnock was the first black senator. Not long ago. It's
- 44:41Speaker 1: a new day, baby. So it is a disingenuous argument.
- 44:44Speaker 1: Because when most of us live in these regions that
- 44:47Speaker 1: are super heavily germinated, the Tennessees, the Arkansas, the Alabama,
- 44:51Speaker 1: the Texases, the Floridas, whatever happens at the federal level
- 44:54Speaker 1: never affects you because they're not going to give you
- 44:56Speaker 1: the bread anyway. They're not going to let those programs
- 44:58Speaker 1: happen anyway. Correct. But now it's a fair question to
- 45:00Speaker 1: ask what you can do. It's fair now. It's not
- 45:03Speaker 1: fair today because she didn't even take the job. She's governor-elect. Yeah, right.
- 45:08Speaker 1: But reckoning is coming.
- 45:10Speaker 2: Yes.
- 45:10Speaker 1: Yes. All right, on the next D.O. Hughley Show, if
- 45:12Speaker 1: you don't go to happy hour, no worries. We're going
- 45:13Speaker 1: to bring the party straight to you with the Hughley
- 45:14Speaker 1: House Party Plus. We're going to give you another hot
- 45:16Speaker 1: new song with my day butter of the week. And
- 45:17Speaker 1: another episode where people get to tell me exactly what
- 45:20Speaker 1: they think of me called F. Hughley. F.
- 45:23Speaker 4: Hughley.
- 45:24Speaker 1: I'm going to be getting after 15 minutes, and there's
- 45:26Speaker 1: not a damn thing you can do about it. You
- 45:28Speaker 1: mean tomorrow, not 15 minutes, but I mean you won
- 45:31Speaker 1: in 15 minutes. No, it'll be recorded tomorrow.
- 45:35Speaker 2: But I'm going to have a victorious darkness over there.
- 45:38Speaker 7: Yeah, let's do it in 15 minutes.
- 45:41Speaker 1: It's D.O. Hugh Gleeson.
