  Speaker 1: Big shout out to everybody that came out to Ontario.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: A lot of fun. Listen, if you're going to be
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: in Memphis, I'll be at Memphis Performing Arts Center on
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: this on the twenty second, So come check me out
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: and be taking those Memphis you are up. So I
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: guess Steven A. Smith got a thumbs down award from
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the NABJ.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Right, surprise, surprise. Well here Skip, I would say, are
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: you a member of the NABJA. Have you ever been
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: to that parties? I've been to a couple. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I think it's a you know, I think that you
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: can't be shocked when an organization that is uh, you know,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: populated with powerful black women who are maligned in an industry.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: You know, they don't get their just due it in
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: a particular industry, really any industry.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: But it's really exacerbated by what's going on with this administration.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: With DEI and the like.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Anyway, But it's always been a tough en should get into.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: But then all of a sudden to have somebody who
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: they perceive is making their job even harder.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I think he can't be a shock.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: And the thing I'm really that there's really telling is
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: You couldn't have told See Steven that people didn't like him.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: You couldn't told him that.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: To HBCU games and no, people like they have an
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: aversion to you. Not everybody, obviously, because nobody went out
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: a monolith. But I'll tell you what, enough of those
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: ten thousand people didn't. Nobody is complaining that it happened, right,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: And he certainly was with the likes of the of
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the CBS's and Berry Weiss's and you know, you know,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: everybody else's made kind of media harder, media for black
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: people harder in particular, they're trying to squaff voices, and
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I think he has had a hand in doing that, right,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: he never sees the fact that he is. I don't
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: know if it's if what he promised to do has
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: come out yet, but I'll say this, he got madder
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: at the NABJ for giving him a thumbs down.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Then he did at Trump from aligning them. Yeah right, well,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: so well he deserved it, Yeah he did.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm an active member of the NABJ, and
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I am disappointed and sometimes embarrassed by some of the
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: stuff that he does, and he expects us to applaud him.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I think not.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: He definitely gets the thumbs down.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he should know better, all right, Caesar, I'm
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: just saying, happy brethay of Rapper and Narrow half birth
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: of Donnie Wahlberg. Havey birththera to Sean Penn hat Bertha

  Speaker 1: Happy birth to Kristen Laighton or have birtha the John Gruden,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Happy birth the Kelvin Mercer Daylight Soul's plug One. Happy
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: birthday possumously, of course, to Davy Crockett. I bet he
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: learns something. Yep, take you you won't take you to
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the Alamo again?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Huh.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Happy breathday of Mississippi. He reportedly discovered the notorious Big So.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: The NABJ, the National Association of Brack Journalists, had their convention,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: a yearly convention.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: This time I believe it was in Atlanta. They usually ordered.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: They had the usual order, but this time there was
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: something slightly more unique.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: They chose to call out.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: People who've been detrimental to not only the endeavor of broadcasting,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: but to black people in the endeavor of broadcasting.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: They called out the FCC.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: And of course we've seen all that he has done
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: as a propaganda EXQB, as a strong arm for the President,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: threatening to pool programming or not allow mergers and the like.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: We've seen Barry Rice, who has turned Barry Weiss for CBS,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: who not only has turned CBS into basically a little
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: more than state run a media outlet, but has also
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: gotten rid of a lot of qualified black people Circle
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: City Broadcasting someone else accused of the same things that
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Barry Weiss and Brendan Carr had been, but they saved
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: some of their r for Steven A. Smith because of
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: his continue assault on black women and black athletes too.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I think I take umbrage with the fact that they
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: didn't mention a lot of black athletes who are also
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: probably uh, you.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Know, on the receiving end of some of the sieves
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: see in A. Smith's try.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: But the thing that was the most telling to me,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: they gave him a thumbs down. And there is there
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: any that we've We've seen him go after Jasmine Crockett,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: We've seen him go after Joey Reid, We've seen him
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: go after you know, carry Champion.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: You know, we've seen to go after you know, uh uh.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: We've seen him go after Kamala Harris, We've seen him
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: say any number of things, so I don't think that
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: he could be shot. But what was particularly telling to
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: me is how angry he got, how angry he got
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: at the snub. Now he got so angry at the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: snub that he promised was the talent of out to
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: social media retribution that that we would hear from now today.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: And I don't know what it was stavin he has made,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: but what is telling is that he got so angry
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: at the NABJU. And these are he his contemporaries, These
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: are his you know, the people he works with, they
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: are his contemporaries. As a matter of fact, he's been
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: to the NABJ and they've been, I guess, fairly friendly.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: This turn has been taken, I think over the last
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: few years, and it's not hard to tell why it happened.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: But what was telling to me, as I alluded to earlier,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: was the fact that he got so angry he promised
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: a response. He got so angry.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: At the NABJ, his contemporaries, he promised a response.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: What he didn't do is when Donald Trump said that
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: he was dumb as a box of rocks, nothing, nothing.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Maybe that is what they're talking about.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Maybe you got a thumbs down because you are so
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: willing to attack your own and say nothing to the
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: powers that be. You're so willing to attack, to attack
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: black athletes, but say nothing to a man who slaps
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: his wife in front of you. You're so willing to
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: malign your contemporaries, but say nothing to a man who
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: sold your intellect. Maybe the fact that you're so willing
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: to go after your contemporaries and the people who look
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: like you as a poll to the power apparatus, maybe
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: that's exactly why you gotta thumbs down. Maybe because you
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: went out and promised to respond to somebody who'd attack
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: your professional acumen as a polled to your natural intellect.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Maybe that is why, and what's more worthy and what's
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: more demonstrative of what they were talking about. You attack
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: us for a critique, you don't attack him point or
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: so all. Maybe that's why you gotta thumbs down the world.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: That's a little note from the ged section.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: It's a d L. Huge self, She's jazz. It's the
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: jazzy report on the d L. Hugley Sound.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: The homicide rate in the US dropped to the Lewis
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: that's been in seven decades. According to the FBI, national
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: violent crime rates have been declining since twenty twenty two,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: and pinpointing an exact reason has been difficult. They say
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: multiple factors contribute to decreases in crime rates scene in
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: the FBI report, which is based on the data reported
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: voluntarily by men, but not all law enforcement agencies across
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: the country agree.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I think you have a lot of young mayors of
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: color who have taken a different tack to crime.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: It isn't just the whole lock.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Them up, or the broken windows or the stopping first,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: these adequated notions of policing. You've seen what Brandon has
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: done in Baltimore. You've seen what Madami has done in
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: New York. You're seeing with the young mayor in Chicago
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: has done an excellent job with crime crime being a
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: sixty year low. New York at this time has the
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: highest dropping crime at any point in the city's history
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: since they be keeping the records.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Karen Vass has done a remarkable job with that.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: It's the height of irony, it's the height of you know,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: it's mentally ill to keep doing the same thing expecting
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: different results. And that's exactly what one mayor does when
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: he takes over another bear. He promises the same failed notions.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: But these young men and women are really just doing
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: things from an efficacy standpoint that really just is common
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: sense and.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: They should be all applied for it.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Well, you know what, It'll be interesting to see if
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: after a couple of years they do these reports, if
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: they give them credit for that, do you know what
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: I mean? Because I feel like they probably won't.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I remember a couple years ago, I think when Corey
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Booker was mayor of Newark, was he mayor of Newark?
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: They had had one month where there there was no
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: murders at all, But turns out they were just reloading.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: But I just know they actually had one month where
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: were no murders at all. And I think you take
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: these young men and women from these experiences, that have
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: these different experiences in these communities, and you're gonna have
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: stuff like this.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: They should be committed. I'm very proud of.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: He should did, and if he hasn't as well, well,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: they say operations to remove the appendix could sue become
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: a thing of the past. Swedish experts claim appendicitis you
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: know uh can be treated effectively with antibiotics.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Researchers argue the only.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Risk of not operating and relying on antibiotics is another
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: appendicitis flare up.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Now I have my.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Yes, my appendic is actually ruptured when the surgeon took
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: it out, like it was rupturing just.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: In a Nickel time. This would have been a whole
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: different show then. But yeah, but you know, I think
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of stuff for you thirteen fourteen, oh my gosh,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: something like that. But I think a lot of people.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Back then the first the first option was to just cut.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: And I think now the more advanced science becomes, the
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: more non invasive kind of a therapeutics they come up with.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and also just a quick note, if there is
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: a situation where surgery is on the table and you're
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: being pushed for it, I would say, always get a
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: second opinion because you never don't really know.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know they have these pools. Now, they
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: got to be in your in your program, you know
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: what I mean.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: You can't go to a physician outside of your satellite
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: it's crazy and they all won't say the same thing.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: So it's you got to really have a a couple
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: of healthware of professionals you trust who can get you
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and guide you in the right direction.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: So thank you for that.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: So the question we're gonna ask a gentleman, So DNABJ
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: awarded steven A.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Smith the thumbs down the ward do you agree? Eight
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: seven seven two two two two six.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Also this up on Twitter do O Hugley Radio or
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: on Facebook the d O Hugley Show, and the website
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: is the do hug show dot com.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: So the question we asked the steven A.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Smith, the na b J gave him the thumbs down award?
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Do you agree? Jasmine? We're gonna go to our social
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: media platform? What are they saying out there?
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Cedric and Ohio says absolutely he deserves that and also
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: a thumbs up.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: But you know what Ante Ohio come through? Turn this
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: called and turning the caligula. It's crazy one from Atlanta
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: might have been he got the area. I think.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I think that there's a conflict between people who believe
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: this is not about steven A.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Smith's political ileology because.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: They didn't have I think he is specifically some of
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the things he said about Jasmine Crockett, some of the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: things he said about Jordy Reid, some of the things
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: he said about Kamala Harris. I think that in some
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: of the things he conversely hid and saying that Dana
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: White slapped his wife and he all but wiped his
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: hand off. I just think the way that he went
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: up to Lebron and Bron like he just specifically has
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: a different vantage point, Like he has smoke. Even in
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: this response, he has smoke for black people, but not
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: for white people. I mean, and it's a fairly common occurse,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: like Kevin Hart doing the roast, the heat they gave
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: him a war where black as one of the black
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: people don't like black people, remember that doing the roast.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: So I don't think he can be shocked that people
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: have this.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Well, I think he's shocked because he's told hisself stories
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: that just don't comport with the reality. The reality is.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: You know, he's been to supporting in vinchegant boo.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he has that that that Trump syndrome that
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: thinks does love me, not everybody? Not everybody is right.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: And just so you know, the Thumbs Down Award actually
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: goes to not only individuals but also organizations that they
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: say are responsible for insensitive, racist, or stereotypical reporting, or
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: for pursuing practices directly at odds with the bulls of
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: fair representation.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Now, is this an award that have you ever seen
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: this award given out before?
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they give it out every year, but this is
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: the most that they've ever given out. It normally only
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: goes to one or maybe two people, or one or
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: two organizations. But what's crazy is that they actually give
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: it out at the Excellent Dinner Award.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Stephen A is such a high profile. Well, he's loud
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: every time he goes into a building. Yeah, you're gonna
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: say it.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: You can put that award with his shoe of the
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: award because he got that from us.
