• 0:01
  Speaker 1: This is the deal. We show you a 2026 edition.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Shout out to everybody in Cincinnati and Columbus that came
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: on out.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I certainly appreciate that. We are this weekend. We're in Atlanta.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Of course, that's almost gone. And we're going to be
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: in Indianapolis the following day. So this Friday in Atlanta,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: this Saturday in Indianapolis.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: So come check us out.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: If you take a notion with 70 Hall in Atlanta
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: this Friday and Junius, you get the place that we're
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: going to be in Indianapolis this Saturday.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: But come check us out. It's really doing well. We're
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: having a good time.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Today I was on the Today Show promoting my new book,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Charlie's Boy, that will be out tomorrow. I'm very proud
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: of it. So I would greatly appreciate it if you
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: take a gander. And like a lot of people, I got,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: you know, of course, you know, that's what we do
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: for a living.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: We look at the news and we look at what's.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Happening and what people are talking about because that's kind
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: of what we do from a show perspective.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: That's how I write.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I came across something that I can't say I'm shocked by.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: So they are saying from 2018 to 2024, they were
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: over 1200 sexual assaults at Cornell, Cornell university, 1200. So, um,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: in that span of time, that would have been, that
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: would work out to one every other day. And I
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: think that that's not too dissimilar to a scenario that
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: often play. I mean, maybe the numbers vary, but I
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: think that that is a fairly common phenomenon. Um, And
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: what struck me the most about that is that there
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: were only seven cases where the people who were accused
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: were either expelled or dealt with in any kind of
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: disciplinary way. Seven out of 1,207. Wow. And Cornell is
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: one of the finest institutions of higher learning in the world.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: It isn't just a university. It is one of the richest,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: most powerful people in the world. So it's a pathway
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: for the rich and the powerful. And it tells you
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: a lot. It is because those people are rich and
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: powerful that they get those kinds of deference. They get
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: that kind of deference. I don't care if you went
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: to Stanford. I don't care if you went to Cornell.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I don't care if you went to Harvard, Columbia. They
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: are giving because of their wealth. And a lot of
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: them probably a legacy. A lot of them are probably,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: you know, come from very wealthy families, even if they're
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: not legacy.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: So they're dealt with entirely different. It also.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: It's why we have the pervasive influx of so many
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: people who think that brutalizing women and children is not
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: a big deal. These are the halls of power and
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: they're they're allowed to literally rape and pillage at will.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: And then you wonder why you have presidents and lawyers,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: presidents and judges and Supreme Court justices. and heads of
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: department and CEOs, you wonder why the idea that so
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: many of those people feel they're entitled to do what
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: they want, they're above the law.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Is so pervasive.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: And so they grow up hearing nobody is above the law,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: but knowing they are.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 3:04

  Speaker 1: Mr. Smith. It is. It is. He got another year
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to be from the Kansas City Chiefs. After that, he's

• 4:20
  Speaker 2: many times have you heard about somebody who went to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: one of these schools who was accused of sexual assault,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: and it still isn't appropriate? Yeah.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: How many times? More than you can count.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: How many times has a football player I don't care
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: if it's a Supreme Court justice. I don't care if
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: it's a president. I don't care if it's the CEO
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: of a company. How many times have you heard somebody
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: in the Ivy League school? I'm not even trying to
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: name drop or hate. I'm telling you, he's got four
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: sexual assault accusations, right?
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Anything more than zero is pretty too many.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I run out of one hand, right? I run out
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: of one hand.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: How many does Donald Trump have? How many does the
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: whole of his cabinet have?
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Shows not this long.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Right, right, right. I will say this. They are a
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: rapey lot. And they're allowed to be. And it isn't
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: just men that encourage them.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: It isn't. It isn't.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: We have a problem in this country where we literally
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: let the most wealthy among us, whether it's financially or physically,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: rape and pillage.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. We do. And they call us barbarians. That's what
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I don't get. They literally get to rape and plunder,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: don't they?
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: You see it every day. The pirate party.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I just and so and so and so I I
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: can't you cannot be shocked when when when and we're
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: talking about the schools that put the CEOs in place.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: heads of banking, the judges we have, the politicians we have,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: our lives are shaped, veritably shaped by the people that.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Attend those colleges. Yep.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: And get it, there's such a rapey lot and they
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: get to decide what morality is.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't all give it away right now. I got
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: a note from GDC. I don't want to give it away.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: But we would want to curtail their futures, would we? Yes,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: we would. Yes, we would.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: We'd be better off as a society if we didn't
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: let morally bankrupt men run rampant all over us.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, being judged by.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: We would be a better world, a better country, and
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: a better society if we didn't let men who were
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: inclined to see to their base instincts run roughshod all
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: over us while telling us what morality is.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: That's why they put each other in those positions of power.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Exactly. You got a judge who will oversee it. The judges.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: The heads of department, the people who put the crime
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: statistics together.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: That's right. The people who tell us what crime looks like.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: The people that run our cities and run our states
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: and run our municipalities and write the laws.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the old wink wink.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: The most morally bankrupt people on the face of the earth.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: And they're allowed to be.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: They're literally born with a silver spoon in their mouths
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: and a foot in our a * *.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Well, this is going to be a good note from GD.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to do it. I ain't read it yet,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: but I'm just telling you. Yeah, same stuff with it.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I'm just telling you.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: It's a cliff note to get your head.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you get inspired and nothing inspires me like white malfeasance.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Man, you are an inspired individual. Well, he done gave
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: us a big word today, malfeasance. Come on, man. Don't
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: act right. Don't act like a TV this morning. Come on,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: baby boy. You know, I'm an author now. You know
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: what I mean? I'm headed for my sixth New York
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Times bestseller. So act right. Give me the deference I deserve. Oh,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: another one. Deference.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: There we go.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I done went from Harvard to Harvard. I
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: done went from Harvard to Main Street. I'm so sorry.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: There you go. That's all.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: So I was reading a piece of information that came
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: across my feed yesterday, I believe it was. And it
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: said that from 2018 to 2024, there were over 1,200
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: sexual assaults on Cornell's campuses. And out of those 1,200
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: sexual assaults, only seven were disciplined, expulsion and the like.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: And that would work out to a sexual assault every
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: other day. They were doing more assaulting than learning. And
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I would venture to say that if there were any,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: you know, cohesive study, comprehensive study done on Ivy League schools,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: I would say that it's a fairly, I guarantee you
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: that it's not an uncommon thing. I don't know how
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: many times we've heard of somebody going to one of
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: these schools, whether they be a football player accused of
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: sexual assault multiple times that went to an Ivy League
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: school or a judge or president or governor or senator,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: because these Ivy League schools are veritable crimes. Tickets to success,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: they are the pathway to success. And a lot of
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: times they're legacies. A lot of times just having that
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: name on your diploma, having that name in your sphere
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: is a pathway to ascension. I guarantee you there have
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: been very few, if any, Supreme Court justices that hadn't
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: gone there. There have been very few, if any, people
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: who are governors or presidents or senators or congressmen. These
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: schools are the farm system for success, the farm system
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: for credibility and acceptance. And I would say this, that
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: it is indicative of how they're treated.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: They grow up believing they are born.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: With a silver spoon in their mouth and a veritable
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: boot in our asses. They get to do whatever they want.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: They are dealt with with kid gloves. They are treated
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: that way because they have so much influence. They are
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: the parents. They are the children of legacy parents. People
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: are very rich. The tastemakers, the decision makers, the CEOs,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: the bankers, the judges, the ex-governors, all of them go there.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: It's a veritable farm system for success.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: And they are treated the way that we grow up
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: believing that no one is above the law.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: They grow up knowing they are. And they get to
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: literally rape and pillage.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: You cannot have a group of people that are dealt
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: with that way through the course of their life. And
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: you can't wonder why then you have a president who's
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: accused of sexual assault by multiple people, a Supreme Court justice,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: another justice accused of sexual harassment, the whole of corporations
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: who are having to pay out these exorbitant funds because
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: they're accused of sexual harassment. How many pedophiles do we
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: have in our sphere? How many people accused of fraud
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: and malfeasance are in our sphere?
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Because they go to these schools and these schools are.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Indicative of how they're treated their entire lives.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: And these are the people, these are the judges, these
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: are the lawmakers who decide what morality is.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: They can assign barbarism to us while executing it themselves.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: What's more barbarous than taking something so precious from a
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: woman or a child or committing fraud and taking what
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: you want and doing what you want? And all the
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: time people looking the other way while you raid the coffers.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Who gets the benefit of the doubt like that and
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: the benefit of the tax code like that and the
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: benefit of influence like that?
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: All the while telling us what morality is.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: All the while setting the template for what is acceptable behavior,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: but doing the most barbarous, heinous things on the face
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: of the earth. They are literally, literally, how different are
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: they than the barbarians they ascribe us to be?
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: They say we are.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: They rape, and they pillage, and they steal, and they burn,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: and they do whatever they want all the time, being
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: abetted by a system that says it's okay, because they
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: are literally born with silver spoons.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: In their mouth. They literally get to do whatever.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: What is the discernible difference between somebody who does what
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: they did in college and steal from us? How many frauds,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: people accused of fraud, are running either in office right
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: now or.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Having a chance to be in office right now?
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: How many people accused of sexual assault or closely associated
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: with pedophilia are in our sphere right now? And how
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: many people went to these very schools and these very
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: places that allow them to do it?
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: They get to take and take and take and take.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: And do whatever they want because it's all set out
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: for them, but all the while telling us what we
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: are doing.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: There are factories of malfeasance, and they get to do it.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Who are the murderers? Who are the rapists?
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Who are the child molesters? Who are the people that
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: are defrauding people? It ain't the cat that went to
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: the state school. It ain't the cat that went to
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: a junior college. It is the people that have gone
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: to the finest institutions of higher learning on the face
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: of the earth, all while having the lowest character. That's
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: a little note from the GED6 DL Hughley Show.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: She's jazzed. She's smart.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: It's the Jazzy Report on the DL Hughley Show.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: President Trump rallied against Senator Tom Cotton in a series
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: of posts accusing the Arkansas Republican of holding up a
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: bill that would make daylight saving time permanent and encouraging
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: people to call the senator at his cell phone number,
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: which he posted, by the way, on social media. Trump
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: has long criticized the semi-annual clock change, though his position
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: on whether the country should remain on standard time or
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: daylight savings time year round has shifted over time.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: He thought, why don't you? Hey, man, all that's cute.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: But how about in a war? How about doing some
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: of these gas prices, these grocery prices?
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: And actually, it's not cute when you post someone's phone
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: number on social media.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Not only is it.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: But it's highly unprofessional, especially considering your office. But that's
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: what he does.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: He's putting out people's phone number, but you won't put
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: out the Epstein list.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: Well, this is specifically for you guys now. Your handshake
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: may say a lot more about your health than you realize.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: Doctors are increasingly eyeing grip strength as a quick, cheap
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: way to flag broader problems. They say low grip scores
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: have been linked to higher risks of heart disease, type
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, stroke, and dementia. Now, for a 50-year-old man,
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: the median grip strength is about 100 pounds. For women,
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: it's 64. So what's your grip strength?
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: How do you measure it? I mean, you know.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: You've seen it before, those little machines that you put
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: in your hand and you squeeze it together.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah, yeah.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: I got all those things you listed before, so maybe. Oh, shoot.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Your grip strength might be weak.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: That's it. I got it all. I got it all.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: That explains a lot, Lucy.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: Explains a lot.
