- 1:02Speaker 2: a game you play in the pool.
- 1:03Speaker 1: And I know they think most black people don't get
- 1:05Speaker 1: in pools, but that's actually a game you play in
- 1:07Speaker 1: the pool. Happy birthday to Nipsey Russell, not Nipsey Hussle,

- 1:22Speaker 1: to 700 pairs of shoes per day, which now has.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Been replaced by Mexicans. That's great.
- 1:27Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
- 1:28Speaker 2: Those are replaced by Mexicans now. Or Taiwanese kids.
- 1:32Speaker 5: Okay.
- 1:34Speaker 1: Thank you, Jane Ernst Messinger. But now we have sweatshops,
- 1:38Speaker 1: so we don't even need that. We got a great show,
- 1:41Speaker 1: of course, coming up for you. It is Jasmine's going
- 1:43Speaker 1: to tell us what's trending on the D.L.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Hughley Show.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Jasmine, can you please tell these good people what is trending?
- 1:55Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, T.I. Keysweat, Rick Ross, and of course me, D.L. Hughley,
- 1:59Speaker 5: King George, 803 Fresh. Ah, as if that isn't enough.
- 2:03Speaker 5: Fat Daddy Cupid, E.U. featuring Sugar Bear, and so many
- 2:06Speaker 5: more artists that I cannot even run them down right now.
- 2:09Speaker 5: It's the One Voyage Festival stage in Nassau, and that's
- 2:12Speaker 5: just a taste of one incredible cruise. Talking about hip-hop,
- 2:15Speaker 5: R & B, Southern Soul, go-go, and comedy all in
- 2:19Speaker 5: one incredible cruise. price starting at $ 1, 900 per person based
- 2:23Speaker 5: on triple occupancy. OneVoyageCruise.com is the website to check out.
- 2:27Speaker 5: You can also call 214-495-1963 and book your cabin right now.
- 2:32Speaker 4: In the meantime, let's get to what's trending. Jasmine Crockett,
- 2:35Speaker 4: my namesake.
- 2:36Speaker 5: Oh, my, my.
- 2:36Speaker 4: Y'all mad at Jasmine Crockett.
- 2:38Speaker 5: You know, she presented Chris Brown and Usher with a
- 2:41Speaker 5: congressional record document recognizing their artistry. And when I tell
- 2:44Speaker 5: you the social media world is up in a frenzy,
- 2:47Speaker 5: they are.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
- 2:48Speaker 4: Can you guess why?
- 2:49Speaker 5: You already know. The backlash is over Chris Brown. Because
- 2:53Speaker 5: of his past history of domestic violence.
- 2:55Speaker 3: Now, that to me is dumb because, you know, first
- 2:58Speaker 3: of all, didn't Trump get convicted of a sexual assault? Okay,
- 3:01Speaker 3: so let's, you know, and that happened how many years ago?
- 3:04Speaker 3: 20 years?
- 3:05Speaker 4: A long time ago. Everybody has moved on.
- 3:07Speaker 3: Except for social media. He was basically a kid. Okay,
- 3:11Speaker 3: can we?
- 3:11Speaker 4: And my thing is, Rihanna forgave him. They've made up.
- 3:14Speaker 5: They are now, I'm not going to say they're cool, but,
- 3:16Speaker 5: you know, they are friendly.
- 3:20Speaker 4: Yeah, they are past it. And my thing is, He
- 3:24Speaker 4: did his penance.
- 3:25Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:26Speaker 5: Hasn't really had any issue that I know of.
- 3:29Speaker 1: Right.
- 3:29Speaker 3: He's moved on.
- 3:30Speaker 5: Why are y'all still beating this man? Well, no pun intended.
- 3:33Speaker 5: Why are y'all still holding this against him? And now
- 3:35Speaker 5: you're mad at Jasmine because she recognized his artistry.
- 3:39Speaker 3: Yeah. Which which cannot be denied. Now, if I know
- 3:43Speaker 3: I love Jasmine, I love Jasmine. And let's let's put
- 3:45Speaker 3: all transparency here. I do think she may have missed
- 3:48Speaker 3: an opportunity just to tell him, hey, y'all make sure
- 3:51Speaker 3: y'all register to vote. It's coming up and just kind
- 3:53Speaker 3: of drop that and keep it moving. But that's all.
- 3:55Speaker 3: That's my girl, though. That's my girl.
- 3:57Speaker 5: But I don't see anything wrong with, you know, at
- 3:59Speaker 5: least recognizing both of them, by the way, because both
- 4:01Speaker 5: of them were recognized for their artistry.
- 4:03Speaker 4: Chris Brown did get a little bit bigger plaque, but
- 4:05Speaker 4: we ain't going to talk about that.
- 4:07Speaker 5: But the point is, you know, they, you know, the
- 4:09Speaker 5: parties involved have moved on.
- 4:11Speaker 4: You know, I think we should, too.
- 4:12Speaker 5: I think you can't hold something against somebody that they
- 4:15Speaker 5: did 20 years ago.
- 4:17Speaker 4: Right.
- 4:17Speaker 3: But. Because I read something about Steven Tyler.
- 4:21Speaker 4: Hello. So many other situations.
- 4:24Speaker 3: I'm just saying. They let him make it.
- 4:26Speaker 4: They let him. I'm just saying. Anyway, while we're.
- 4:29Speaker 3: Get a life. Y'all have to Google that one.
- 4:31Speaker 4: Yes.
- 4:31Speaker 5: And while you're Googling that, Google Macklemore. You see what's
- 4:34Speaker 5: going on with him, right? Oh, my goodness. He was
- 4:37Speaker 5: dropped from the tour that he's been doing with Ed Sheeran.
- 4:41Speaker 4: Ed Sheeran.
- 4:42Speaker 5: And, you know, because he basically yelled out free Palestine
- 4:46Speaker 5: from the stage. And apparently now he had a conversation
- 4:49Speaker 5: with Ed Sheeran. They've been friends for, he said, over
- 4:51Speaker 5: a decade. And, you know, he said, well, I want
- 4:53Speaker 5: to talk to him about it. You know, he's like,
- 4:54Speaker 5: we disagree on a lot of things, but I still
- 4:56Speaker 5: respect the guy. But it turns out it was the
- 4:58Speaker 5: New England Patriots owner, Robert Kraft, who leaned on Ed
- 5:03Speaker 5: Sheeran and said, we're going to stage a boycott if
- 5:05Speaker 5: you allow this guy to step foot on the stage.
- 5:09Speaker 4: Wow.
- 5:09Speaker 3: You know, hey. Wow. Speaking of get a life, come on, man.
- 5:13Speaker 4: Yeah, get a life is right.
- 5:15Speaker 5: So, you know, the Internet is a little divided over that. But,
- 5:18Speaker 5: you know, Macklemore dropped, you know, and I think there
- 5:20Speaker 5: was a similar situation with Pink. It's just it's so
- 5:22Speaker 5: interesting how so many people talk about they love the
- 5:25Speaker 5: fact that it's democracy and you have freedom and, you know,
- 5:28Speaker 5: to say how you think and what's on your brain.
- 5:30Speaker 5: But depending on what you say determines how much freedom
- 5:33Speaker 5: you actually have.
- 5:34Speaker 4: And that's what's trending.
- 5:35Speaker 1: If we as a nation are going to rationalize or
- 5:39Speaker 1: use mental illness or psychosis as a rationalization or an
- 5:43Speaker 1: excuse for murder.
- 5:45Speaker 2: And crime and harm, we have to be a bit
- 5:47Speaker 2: more consistent.
- 5:48Speaker 1: I think that it can't just look like certain people
- 5:52Speaker 1: and not like others. It can't be just dependent on
- 5:54Speaker 1: our vantage point of that particular individual and the validity
- 5:57Speaker 1: we assign to it. I've heard a lot the last
- 6:00Speaker 1: few days about postpartum psychosis, but I will say to this.
- 6:04Speaker 2: It isn't just gender specific.
- 6:05Speaker 1: There are people, men, I would imagine that any number
- 6:08Speaker 1: of men have gone to war and seen horrible things,
- 6:12Speaker 1: but that allowance wouldn't be made for them. They might
- 6:15Speaker 1: have had mental breaks, but that allowance wouldn't be made
- 6:17Speaker 1: for them. And psychosis and mental illness should not be
- 6:19Speaker 1: excused just one way.
- 6:21Speaker 2: If it is going to be an excuse, it should
- 6:23Speaker 2: be two things.
- 6:23Speaker 1: It should be consistent and it shouldn't matter what the
- 6:26Speaker 1: person looks like or whether we relate to them or not.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Because I know that I saw a young man who
- 6:31Speaker 1: had a psychotic breakdown on a train in New York
- 6:34Speaker 1: was choked to death by an ex-marine. And a jury
- 6:37Speaker 1: thought that that was reasonable. Murdering a man with a
- 6:40Speaker 1: psychotic break was reasonable. There have been men who have
- 6:44Speaker 1: gone away to war and seen horrible things and done crimes.
- 6:46Speaker 2: It didn't suffice as an excuse. They were still punished
- 6:49Speaker 2: for that.
- 6:49Speaker 1: So it can't be dependent on what gender they are
- 6:52Speaker 1: and whether we can relate to them or not. And
- 6:54Speaker 1: as a nation, if this is going to be a
- 6:56Speaker 1: tantamount to murder, allowing murder, then why do we not
- 6:59Speaker 1: take it seriously?
- 7:00Speaker 2: In America, it's easier to get guns and help.
- 7:04Speaker 1: It's easier to say, I want to apply for a gun,
- 7:06Speaker 1: I want to carry a gun, than to get somebody
- 7:08Speaker 1: to help you mentally. The people who are most likely
- 7:11Speaker 1: to be shot by the police, unarmed people shot by
- 7:14Speaker 1: the police, most likely the Democrat, most likely short shot
- 7:18Speaker 1: are people who are in emotional or mental distress. So
- 7:21Speaker 1: we cannot both rationalize it as a justification for murder
- 7:25Speaker 1: and look the other way when somebody we think isn't
- 7:27Speaker 1: worthy of it does it. Rob Reiner's son, they're not
- 7:30Speaker 1: going to seek the death penalty. I would imagine because
- 7:32Speaker 1: of some homage to mental illness. There used to be
- 7:35Speaker 1: a time when I was growing up and the Bible said,
- 7:38Speaker 1: honor that mother and father that the days may be long.
- 7:40Speaker 2: Now we're saying, okay, you can stab them to death.
- 7:44Speaker 1: So these things would ring truer to me if it
- 7:47Speaker 1: weren't so specific to a specific gender or a specific race.
- 7:51Speaker 1: If we were looking at things in a fair, judicious way,
- 7:54Speaker 1: that would be okay. And even that wouldn't be okay
- 7:57Speaker 1: because as a nation, we don't take it seriously. How
- 8:01Speaker 1: do we cut funding for mental illness and use it
- 8:03Speaker 1: as justification? How do we not get people help.
- 8:07Speaker 2: And use it as justification?
- 8:08Speaker 1: So you can't both say this is a problem that
- 8:11Speaker 1: is so bad, these people, we make allowance for them
- 8:14Speaker 1: committing these heinous crimes, but not so problematic that we
- 8:19Speaker 1: make allowances in terms of finances and dealing with it
- 8:21Speaker 1: as a culture. We have decided to spend money on
- 8:26Speaker 1: any number of things.
- 8:27Speaker 2: We go to war. We spend money on all kinds
- 8:32Speaker 2: of frivolous things.
- 8:33Speaker 1: But if it is that we're going to use the
- 8:35Speaker 1: rationale of mental breaks and psychosis and mental illness for
- 8:39Speaker 1: justification for these heinous crimes, we have an obligation as
- 8:42Speaker 1: a nation to do something about it. If a person
- 8:46Speaker 1: is telling you they're having problems, there should be a
- 8:48Speaker 1: place they can go. And all of these places, these
- 8:51Speaker 1: budget cuts don't leave them there. If we as a
- 8:54Speaker 1: nation are going to rationalize murder, rationalize heinous crimes because
- 8:59Speaker 1: someone is having a psychotic breakdown, we have an obligation,
- 9:02Speaker 1: as I said earlier, to do something about it. It's
- 9:04Speaker 1: not just okay to say that they hear voices.
- 9:07Speaker 2: If they're saying they.
- 9:08Speaker 1: Hear voices, that nation has a responsibility to say you
- 9:11Speaker 1: can have some help too.
- 9:13Speaker 2: That's a little note from the GED section. It's the
- 9:15Speaker 2: DL Hughley Show. She's jazzed.
- 9:17Speaker 4: She's smiling.
- 9:20Speaker 5: It's the Jazzy Report on the DL Hughley Show. The
- 9:25Speaker 5: Supreme Court rejected Donald Trump's bid to restrict mail ballots
- 9:29Speaker 5: for the midterm elections, capping a flurry of last minute
- 9:32Speaker 5: legal action with voting already underway. The decision allows the
- 9:35Speaker 5: states to continue sending out mail out ballots under the
- 9:38Speaker 5: same process as they've used for years and have accounted
- 9:41Speaker 5: for nearly a third of votes cast.
- 9:44Speaker 3: The mad king.
- 9:46Speaker 4: He mad about it, too. He big mad.
- 9:47Speaker 3: Big, big, big mad.
- 9:50Speaker 1: That you might have to have a fair fight. Wow,
- 9:52Speaker 1: that's crazy. And that you're out of favor with your
- 9:57Speaker 1: billionaire friends so they're not inclined to help cheat for
- 9:59Speaker 1: you now.
- 9:59Speaker 4: And there's that. Yeah, I can't cheat. And there's that.
- 10:03Speaker 5: Well, in a groundbreaking new study, scientists found that three
- 10:06Speaker 5: minutes of intense exercise may have more beneficial impacts on
- 10:11Speaker 5: our physiology and health than 90 minutes of moderate exertion.
- 10:16Speaker 5: People who completed three minutes worth of all-out exercise in
- 10:19Speaker 5: about 30-second bursts over the course of 23 minutes had
- 10:23Speaker 5: more molecules associated with health improvements than people who rode
- 10:27Speaker 5: their bikes really fastly for about an hour and a half.
- 10:29Speaker 3: Told y'all. Told y'all.
- 10:31Speaker 4: Three minutes.
- 10:31Speaker 3: One is big.
- 10:32Speaker 1: One is being lazy, Junius. That's not the way you
- 10:34Speaker 1: were doing it. That's one is another thing. That's not
- 10:37Speaker 1: the same thing. My exercise and my sex is the same.
- 10:39Speaker 4: Oh, sugar.
- 10:41Speaker 1: They don't call me three minutes of fury for nothing.
- 10:45Speaker 1: Come here, my little Peloton. Come here for a minute.
- 10:49Speaker 1: Come on, get this first. This is so interesting. When
- 10:52Speaker 1: I saw this, I was like, wow. But thank you
- 10:55Speaker 1: for that jazz report, by the way. A wife asked
- 10:57Speaker 1: her husband to use the money he saved for their
- 10:59Speaker 1: 12-year-old son. on her other kids from a previous relationship
- 11:03Speaker 1: cancer treatment. And the dad refuses, saying that he has
- 11:08Speaker 1: a duty to his son and not her other children.
- 11:10Speaker 1: Is he wrong for not giving his son's money to
- 11:14Speaker 1: his six-step child?
- 11:15Speaker 2: That is a great question. I think that's a conundrum.
- 11:18Speaker 1: So a wife asked her husband to use the money
- 11:22Speaker 1: he saved for their 12-year-old son on her other kid
- 11:25Speaker 1: from a previous marriage's cancer treatments. And the dad's like, nah,
- 11:29Speaker 1: he has a duty to his son and not our
- 11:30Speaker 1: other children. Is he wrong for not giving his son
- 11:33Speaker 1: money to a stick? We're going to leave it up
- 11:38Speaker 1: to you.
- 11:38Speaker 5: 877-242-2426. Also, to sub on Twitter at DL Hughley Radio
- 11:41Speaker 5: or on Facebook, the DL Hughley Show. On the website
- 11:43Speaker 5: is thedlhughleyshow.com.
- 11:44Speaker 2: All right.
- 11:45Speaker 1: It's the DL Hughley Show, your 2026 edition. This is
- 11:48Speaker 1: an interesting question. One of the best ones you've ever
- 11:50Speaker 1: come up with, Skip, in my estimation. So a mother,
- 11:53Speaker 1: a wife, asked her husband to use his money to
- 11:55Speaker 1: save for their 12-year-old son. on her other kids from
- 11:58Speaker 1: a previous marriage cancer treatment. And the dad's like, nah,
- 12:01Speaker 1: I got a duty to my son and not her
- 12:03Speaker 1: other children. Is he wrong for not giving his son's
- 12:06Speaker 1: money to a sick stepchild? Skip, what are they saying
- 12:09Speaker 1: out there in the social media around?
- 12:11Speaker 3: Jamal and Willingboro. Oh, I know how this is going
- 12:13Speaker 3: to go. You can tell what his name is, Jamal.
- 12:15Speaker 3: You know how this is going to go. Jamal in Willingboro,
- 12:17Speaker 3: New Jersey says, that ain't my baby. That's kind of cold.
- 12:20Speaker 3: That is a cold piece. That's cold as ice right there.
- 12:23Speaker 3: Kind of cold.
- 12:25Speaker 2: You know what?
- 12:26Speaker 1: I think it says more about a nation where a
- 12:28Speaker 1: situation that exists than it does about either of these individuals.
- 12:31Speaker 3: Wow.
- 12:31Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 12:32Speaker 2: The fact that this is really a thing.
- 12:35Speaker 1: That somebody has to decide whether one kid's, either one
- 12:38Speaker 1: of these, one kid has a future and the other
- 12:40Speaker 1: kid has a life.
- 12:41Speaker 2: That's, wow. Yeah.
- 12:44Speaker 1: And the fact that it is, as a nation, we
- 12:48Speaker 1: accept that these premises have to exist.
- 12:50Speaker 2: They do not.
- 12:51Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 12:53Speaker 2: But I could see both sides. I can see both sides.
- 12:57Speaker 2: I can.
- 12:58Speaker 3: We want to be on one. I know.
- 13:00Speaker 4: That's right. That's hard.
- 13:02Speaker 2: That's a hard one.
- 13:03Speaker 3: You know, those kind of treatments, that's a lot of money.
- 13:04Speaker 3: That could be an entire college fund. Yes. That could be.
- 13:09Speaker 1: So do you give up his future for his? That
- 13:12Speaker 1: is a conundrum for your ass. But it all depends
- 13:15Speaker 1: on how.
- 13:16Speaker 2: I feel about you. You've been talking stuff to me.
- 13:19Speaker 2: Watch your mouth.
- 13:20Speaker 3: If you ever hit me with that, you ain't my dad.
- 13:22Speaker 2: You ain't my real dad.
- 13:24Speaker 3: Watch your mouth. Yeah. Ugh.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Watch him up. That is a, this is a, this
- 13:29Speaker 1: is a, I don't know that I have, but I do.
- 13:32Speaker 1: I think that it is a shame that we live
- 13:34Speaker 1: in a country where this is a reality and it
- 13:37Speaker 1: does not, it wouldn't happen anywhere else in the world.
- 13:41Speaker 2: Yeah. Any industrialized nation in the world would not have
- 13:44Speaker 2: this as a concept. That's right.
- 13:47Speaker 1: Because it's two things. They wouldn't have to pay for
- 13:49Speaker 1: cancer and they wouldn't have to pay for school.
- 13:51Speaker 3: Touche.
- 13:53Speaker 1: How is it in the richest nation in the world?
- 13:56Speaker 1: That this is a real question.
