  Speaker 3: Now? Now you ask him two questions.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there it is at one time, and while while
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: he's figuring out where I'm going to be, it is
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Black Music Month, of course, mental Health Awareness Month and
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Pride Month all in one time.

  Speaker 3: And men's mental health.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Don't take it away, it's men's mental health, yeah yeah.
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: And going and growing there.
• 0:39
  Speaker 5: That Father's Day is coming up in this month too,
• 0:41
  Speaker 5: So it's a lot which is ironic.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: It is a It is a tale of two fathers,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: right because I remember the young man who who's unfortunately
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: his son lost his life. I called him Melo Anthony,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the guy who was killed in the skirmish with Carmelo Anthony.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: You know he did, you know, I'm sure by now
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: you've his die tribe where he basically rolled out every
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: trope about black people and black fathers and stuff. Like that,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and I think that's a fairly common occurrence. But I'm
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: going to do a little note from the GD section
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: and hope that it addresses at least some of it.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: If the bill is if the peace treaty, if that's
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: what you want to call it, you might as well
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: he should write it on a white napkin, because it
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: very clearly is a surrender.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he should write it on a white napkin. And
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the Iranians will get three hundred billion dollars just from
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the ore reserve reserves and another three hundred billions that
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the United States give them wow to repair the country.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: So they get billions, and we got the bill.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: To the spoils.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I thought it was that's the art of the deal
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: What Trump is trying to do at all costs, and
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: they know this. What he's trying to do at all
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: costs is have this be over before the midterms, yep,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and even then, and trying to do whatever we can
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: to mitigate his damage.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: From the mid terms. But you know, it's a horrible thing.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: When the reflecting pool pool turns green, it's like, you
• 2:07

  Speaker 2: They got to be mad at Kendrick Lamar. And other
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: artists who have released.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: I mean, but you know what, I will say this.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: You can partner with whomever you like, but when you
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: know what we've been dealing with, especially in the black
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: community and specifically black women, and the Target situation, the
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: fact that we've been boycotting them forever, and then you
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: do this in our faces, I mean, come on, that's
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: a lot. It's a lot.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I drove past Target. A lot of us still sneaking
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: in and out of it. Oh yeah, they do. You should.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying that every black female in the country
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: is not going to Target, but there is a large
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: swath of black females who don't f with it no more.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: It's just the truth.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: And that's yeah.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: And you know, I'm thinking aboutself, okay, And and and
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: Beyonce had to be in on this at the table
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: when they were making this decision, or he had to
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: come home and say, Yo, I'm doing this thing with talking.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: She know what's happening. People are very upset.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Not that gay dude that I that I put on
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: my page.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: He was, yeah, just wearing them out.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: And I get it, you know, but you know it
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: just between that, you know, they were bringing up things
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: like what happened with Colin Kaepernick and you know his.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I mean we we we we went in on Colin
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Kaepernick and he listened jay Z gonna be jay Z.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: And I think that to me this these things only
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: happened because we allowed to. Yeah, we allowed to. They're
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: gonna always be people who make excuses like this whole
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Jay Williams, Jay Williams and Steven A. Smith saying that
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the super Bowl the US was the UFC was better
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: than the super Bowl. Somebody asked me about that, and
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I said, you know, pretty soon a dog starts to
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: look like his master.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: That's so there's all all that that that Cole signed.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: What he does can be known as jigger lovers.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, jig everybody.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Everybody ain't on your side, baby, and stop stopped thinking
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: that everybody's not on your side.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: Hilarious, also trying to I don't know if you guys
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: talked about this or not, or if you've even seen
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: this story.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Well, well you were messing around. We were working, so
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: we ask us.
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: Do you call it messing around? But I was taking
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: care of my family. Bought your mouth anyway.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: Did you see.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: Sentisirls who were found wandering in the sewer system of
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: New York up in night in Nayaka.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Did you see this? Now here's the thing.
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: I don't know if you guys remember a couple of
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: years ago they found some underground tunnels as well under
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: Jewish synagogues and whatnot, and you know, mattresses and all
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: the things. And so they're saying, you know, the people
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: from this particular community are saying, well, no, they were
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: in the park wandering and they got lost, and that's
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: how they ended up down there, seventy.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Field trip on a field trip, and they came out
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: under restaurant. They're like, with all these white girls coming
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: off from this restaurant.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: For yeah, with no chaperone, with no adult seventy one
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: come on stop yeah whatever. Yeah, So they're trying to
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: get to the bottom of that. But that's what's.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: This week was demonstrative of a tale of two black fathers,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: one as told by Jeff Metcalf, who fortunately lost his
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: son in the fight between Carmelo Anthony.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: That is unfortunate.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I can and I've said this before, I feel nothing
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: but sympathy for a man or a family that loses
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: a young son or a young child. Period I think
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: that it is unimaginable grief. But grief is not an
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: entree into racist tropes. And that's exactly what Jeff Metcalf did.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: He the familiar tropes that he rolled out were talking
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: about black people in general and particular. He says something
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: about black fathers, and it is I think that it's
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: all too common for people to assail black fatherhood, is
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: off of due common for them to use stereotypes. We
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: can tell them at nauseum that the CDC says that
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: black men participate at a greater degree than any other
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Black pant fathers participant paid at a greater degree than
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: virtually any other demographic. But that will fall on deaf ears.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: But I think more demonstrably was the tale of Jalen Bronson,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: NBA Champion Jalien Bronson and his father. I think it
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: is the story of David and Goliath. If David were
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: sitting there with his father, I'm struck by the fact
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: that he was playing the face of the league, the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: seven two pot six behemoth Wemby, who was going to
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: be the face of the league and who was heralded
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: to win, and that he was supposed to win as
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: a matter of fact, seventy five percent of the time
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: they played, seventy five percent of the time the San
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Antonio Spurs won, and every single time the New York
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Nick came back. Now, I'm not going to say that
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: this is the best team the Knicks have ever had.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to say that he is the best
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: player that they have ever had. That's going to be
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: up to them to decide. But I will say this,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: in fifty three years, what I found the most remarkable.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: What is the clearest example of what a black father
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: can do to a black son. Every single time they
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: fell behind, that young man had to sit next to
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: his father, and his father had prepared him for every
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: single moment. There was a sense of calm you could see.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: You could just see that they didn't panic because that
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: man was sitting next to that father, that black father,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: and he had taught him, he had showed him, he
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: had pushed him to the limit. So when he was
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: being pushed his limit externally, he rose, he rose, and
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: he won with nobody thought he could. He shut up
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: all the doubters. As a matter of fact, you would
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: you would you would learn that the only person who
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: really really believed in him was a father who pushed
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: him to the greatness. I don't know if he's the
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: greatest nick ever, but that was the greatest example, the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: starkest example of what a black man sitting next to
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: his black son can do against all odds. So the
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: next time somebody wants to quantify what it is to
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: be a black father, or to malign it, or to
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: denigrate it, or to stereotype it, the next time you
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: ask where a black father is, He's helping his son
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: raise the championship trophy.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: It's a little note from the ged section. It's a
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: deal Hugley show.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: She's jazz, She's slipping. It's the jazzy report.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I'm an d L. Hughley shun.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: The Supreme Court has decided to take up a case
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: about just how long Ice can keep lawful permanent residence
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: and immigration detention centers without any opportunity to post bond.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: The government has asked the Supreme Court to rule that
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: when a person is in detention with deportation proceedings pending,
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: that the person can be denied bond for the entirety
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: of their detention, which could be months or years. Given
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: the Americ and Civil Liberties Union's attempts to get the
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: court not to hear this specific case. It's clear that
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: immigrants nationwide risk heading toward the loss of another constitutional right.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Of course, those men, why might as well hoods were
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: their robes. Here's the thing. Do you realize now? The
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: world is in the United States of America. The World
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Cup is here right. What a bad time and a
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: bad look for us at this time? What a bad
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: look for us. Imagine one of your whole life to
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: see this thing called America and this is the version
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: of it you get.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, that's why people are leaving. That is why
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: travel like Vegas can't take many more years of this
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: literally And I just think all because I saw today
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: where they were talking about the rural of impact of
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Medicaid being stripped away and Snap benefits, and I just
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: couldn't muster up any sympathy for them because it was
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: okay when they thought it was everybody else.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Apparently those bootstraps they wants to pull ourselves up by
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: was paid for by Snap benefits.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Mm hmmm where you get them boots from? Wick? We
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: got them from.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Well, if you're trying to control your blood sugar levels,
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: working out at night might be the best solution. A
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: new study suggests exercise with perform between six pm and
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: midnight appear to be better at controlling those levels all
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: day long. Now, this was particularly true of people with
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: a sort of impaired blood sugar regulation associated with diabetes.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't want to work out at night like that.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: I'm tired. Yeah, and wednight I'm not doing it.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: It'll wake you up.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Then they'll tell you if you stay up too late.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Your message of circadian rhythm of it's great.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: So no, thank you.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: All right, we talked about this. I talked the best.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Particularly my note from the GED section Carmel la anthead
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Texas team was sendence at thirty five years of faily stabbling.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Another athlete asked Austin Metcalf at high school track meet,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: was the verdict and sentencing fair?
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: And Jess, I will say this. I can't know that.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know all the evidence. I do know optically
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: it doesn't.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Look good when you have a jury and uh you
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: have a judge and a prosecutor and a father who
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: are in close proximity. I do know that there was
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: never a change for venue, and I do know that
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: there were no black people on the jury.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: It's always funny how in the South they have no
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: problems finding niggas for court on the court, but in
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: court they have a problem.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: So I think that optically to avoid where we're at
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: right now, where unless white juries haven't had the most
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: haven't been the most judicious, they have freed a lot
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: of a lot of people that have done harmed to
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: black people. I don't care if it's the you know,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the people to burn the bomb, you know, those little
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: girls in Birmingham or Mecca Evers or the Mississippi three,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: what they've They've had a dubious history of not being
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: fair to black people, and everybody always well, you know
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: black people commits Baltimore is you know who else commits?
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Who is also the most exonerated for those learners black people?
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: So I think we could avoid it a lot. But
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: you think that it was fair and just uh, that's
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: the question we're going to post to you eight seven
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: seven two four two two four two six.
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: Also hit us up on Twitter at Dial Hugley Radio
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: or on Facebook the Doo Hughlely Show on of course,
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: the website is the DOO huglelyshow dot com.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: It's the Dal Hughley Show, of course.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Uh, the tragedy of Austin Metcalf and Kamala Anthony is
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: going to be a cautionary too. I think for years. Uh,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: do you think that Carmelo Anthony sittings was fair? And
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: just we're gonna go to our social media platform. Excuse me, junius,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: what are they saying out there?
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: David from Dallas said that this is just a modern
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: day version of frontier justice.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I just it's always ironic how they can twist. You know,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: here's what would help avoid a lot of stuff. Maybe
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: white people should stop going up to people and asking
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: them what they're doing there?
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: How about that?
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: May be that because always and if you're so afraid,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: how come you're going forward? It's fight and fight? It
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: ain't fight and fight. Yeah, the one common denominator is
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: white people making a presumption to ask people what they're
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: doing there. And it wasn't a teacher, it wasn't a coach,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: it wasn't an official, And don't ask me why he
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: has a gun a knife? And they state where they
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: were trying to get kids to be able to carry guns.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: So I'm asking you do you think the sentence is
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: fair and just. I think optically, I think that all
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: the external circumstances beg a question, and I think that
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: people are going to have a problem until there. We
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: don't trust the system already, and they should have been
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the level of transparency that was unassailable, but of course,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: unfortunately that's not what happened.
