- 0:01Speaker 1: All right, Kyle. Happy birthday to Sean Puffy P.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Diddy Combs.
- 0:06Speaker 1: Love Combs. It is ironic that he's serving his time
- 0:09Speaker 1: in four dicks. I think that's a bit ironic.
- 0:13Speaker 2: He was all smiles, though, when they caught him on picture. Yeah,
- 0:17Speaker 2: I saw. Yeah, yeah.
- 0:18Speaker 1: He's serving time in four dicks.

- 0:23Speaker 1: we celebrated, but, you know, it's recent developments. We just
- 0:27Speaker 1: don't think that would be a good look. I mean,
- 0:29Speaker 1: I don't make those decisions because I don't play music.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Last time I tried to play music, I almost got
- 0:32Speaker 1: everybody fired.
- 0:34Speaker 2: Let's not talk about that.

- 1:11Speaker 1: We've got a great show lined up for you. Jasmine
- 1:13Speaker 1: will get to work this week. She's going to tell
- 1:15Speaker 1: us what's trending. I'm going to have a little note
- 1:16Speaker 1: from the GED session. It's the Dale Hughley Show. Jasmine,
- 1:23Speaker 1: tell us what's trending.
- 1:25Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh. They're calling it the blue sweep. It's
- 1:27Speaker 2: everything that everyone is talking about. And that is because
- 1:30Speaker 2: we were able to turn so many places that were
- 1:35Speaker 2: once red. We turned them blue. Tsunami. Man, what are
- 1:39Speaker 2: you talking about? Like, just incredible. People are talking about
- 1:44Speaker 2: everything from obviously Abdul El-Sayed. Of course, I would be
- 1:48Speaker 2: remiss if I didn't talk about now Governor Keisha Lance
- 1:52Speaker 2: Bonham in Georgia, which is obviously the first black governor.
- 1:56Speaker 2: We're so excited about that. And then, you know, we
- 1:59Speaker 2: have so many other firsts. You know, I saw we
- 2:00Speaker 2: have the first Native American governor as well. And all
- 2:04Speaker 2: Trump to talk about. Tina Hinojosa in Texas. Yes, you
- 2:07Speaker 2: better come on and say it. That's right. That's right.
- 2:10Speaker 2: And shout out to Abdul El-Sayed. I don't know if
- 2:13Speaker 2: you saw him talking about how.
- 2:17Speaker 4: J.D.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Vance would now have to swear him in after all
- 2:20Speaker 2: this mess he's talked about. And then he said, I
- 2:23Speaker 2: loved it. He said, you know, and to you, Trump,
- 2:25Speaker 2: I know you've had a problem saying my name. But
- 2:27Speaker 2: from now on, you could just call me Senator. There
- 2:30Speaker 2: you go. I love it. Of course, everybody's talking about
- 2:35Speaker 2: celebrations all over the place. You know, what's interesting is
- 2:38Speaker 2: a lot of people were having election watch night parties.
- 2:43Speaker 2: And I know some people have had them over the past,
- 2:45Speaker 2: but I feel like last night, you know, Everybody that
- 2:48Speaker 2: I can think of was having a watch party and
- 2:50Speaker 2: celebrating at the same time.
- 2:53Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Some people celebrated.
- 2:55Speaker 5: Some people will cry. Yeah.
- 2:57Speaker 2: Some people will cry.
- 2:58Speaker 5: You know what?
- 2:58Speaker 2: I don't care. Shout out to Hakeem Jeffries, of course,
- 3:03Speaker 2: who probably was making history as the first black speaker
- 3:06Speaker 2: of the House. So we're super excited about that. Now,
- 3:09Speaker 2: I'm not going to lie. Hakeem, I'm going to need
- 3:11Speaker 2: you to come like we won. I'm going to need
- 3:13Speaker 2: you to come like we in control. And you don't
- 3:15Speaker 2: have to act as bad as they did. But I agree.
- 3:18Speaker 2: I think that we have to now act like we won.
- 3:21Speaker 2: We got to we got to politic like we won.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Show off and show out. Just follow the law and
- 3:26Speaker 2: follow the Constitution. Follow the law, but follow it loud.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Follow it loudly. That's all I'm saying. History was everywhere
- 3:34Speaker 2: last night.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Um, there were a coalition of people that had never
- 3:37Speaker 1: traditionally worked together, uh, that formed a something, uh, the
- 3:41Speaker 1: Democrats had a historic night. Um, the polling was far
- 3:46Speaker 1: less than what actually happened. And I think that's true
- 3:48Speaker 1: because the quickest way to make somebody black lie to
- 3:50Speaker 1: you about is to walk up to them and ask
- 3:51Speaker 1: them a question with a clipboard in your hand.
- 3:54Speaker 2: Uh, history was made all over the place.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Uh, Florida had his very first black governor. Uh, so did, uh,
- 4:00Speaker 1: So did Nevada. So did Wisconsin. Texas had the very
- 4:05Speaker 1: first Mexican female governor. California had its first Mexican governor
- 4:11Speaker 1: in over 100 years. Georgia was the home of the
- 4:14Speaker 1: very first black female governor in the United States of America.
- 4:18Speaker 1: And how dope is the very first black woman is
- 4:21Speaker 1: named Keisha Lance Bottles from ATL. But all none of
- 4:24Speaker 1: this would have been possible without, I think, what Stacey
- 4:27Speaker 1: Abrams did in Georgia and also what she did in Mississippi.
- 4:31Speaker 1: I think it's a big shout out to Kamala Harris
- 4:33Speaker 1: and Stacey Abrams and what they did. And another big
- 4:35Speaker 1: shout out to the electorate, the electorate, Mississippi, Mississippi is
- 4:41Speaker 1: close to going blue. And I think I think it
- 4:44Speaker 1: was our ancestors. I think it was it was Corn Wiley.
- 4:48Speaker 1: I think it was Norman Nolan Wells. I think all
- 4:51Speaker 1: of that worked together. I think black people came out
- 4:54Speaker 1: and young people came out and Latins came out and
- 4:57Speaker 1: rural people came out and they worked together to do something.
- 5:00Speaker 1: In a lot of ways, this is a lot different
- 5:02Speaker 1: than the coalition that Obama formed because that was about
- 5:05Speaker 1: the force of one man, the charisma of one man.
- 5:08Speaker 1: This is a galvanizing of people of like mind. People
- 5:11Speaker 1: wanted different things, but the bottom line, they decided to
- 5:14Speaker 1: throw their lot behind somebody. And I think if this
- 5:17Speaker 1: is going to be successful, the only way that it
- 5:18Speaker 1: can work is if you give the people what they
- 5:20Speaker 1: asked for. There were so many things that were historical. Apparently,
- 5:25Speaker 1: it's not the flex you think it is to have
- 5:26Speaker 1: a commercial using the mother of a rape victim. I
- 5:30Speaker 1: guess that doesn't work like you think it is. Apparently,
- 5:32Speaker 1: it's not so good in the middle of a midterm
- 5:35Speaker 1: election to be talking about transgenders and socialism. That didn't
- 5:40Speaker 1: work either. Apparently, it's not good to try to strip
- 5:43Speaker 1: away the voting rights of black people.
- 5:46Speaker 2: But history was every single place last night.
- 5:49Speaker 1: And when it comes to messing with our history, When
- 5:51Speaker 1: it comes to taking our history, don't worry.
- 5:53Speaker 2: You can try to take our history all you want.
- 5:56Speaker 2: Do not worry.
- 5:57Speaker 1: About trying to take our history. We'll just make more.
- 6:00Speaker 1: That's a little note from the GED section. It's the D.L.
- 6:02Speaker 2: Hughley Show. She's jazzed. She smiles. It's the Jazzy Report
- 6:09Speaker 2: on the D.L. Hughley Show. Two Cuban scientists based in
- 6:13Speaker 2: Chile have produced the first horse cloned entirely in the country.
- 6:18Speaker 2: a breakthrough in local reproductive biotechnology that could allow breeders
- 6:21Speaker 2: to access the technology without relying on laboratories. The filly
- 6:26Speaker 2: is a clone of a polo mare brought from Argentina.
- 6:29Speaker 2: for her genetics and the athletic performance and then a
- 6:31Speaker 2: surrogate mare. Oh, damn, all that.
- 6:33Speaker 1: Let's just talk. I'm so glad to have the first
- 6:36Speaker 1: black governor. We already talked about.
- 6:39Speaker 5: That.
- 6:40Speaker 2: Keisha Bottoms from ATL. Come on, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 6:44Speaker 2: Kansas went. Let me tell you something. Kansas hasn't voted.
- 6:47Speaker 1: The last time I saw an ass-whooping like that in Kansas,
- 6:50Speaker 1: a house dropped on that witch and wizard of Oz.
- 6:52Speaker 2: That's the last time I... Facts.
- 6:55Speaker 1: It was more flips than the Olympics.
- 6:57Speaker 2: Oh, Lord. They got everything.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Isn't it ironic that when a black woman made history,
- 7:05Speaker 1: a Mexican woman made history, too?
- 7:07Speaker 2: How about that?
- 7:10Speaker 1: It was two women in the South, one, two women
- 7:13Speaker 1: that the southern region of the United States of America,
- 7:15Speaker 1: they used to look at it a little more than
- 7:17Speaker 1: domestic workers, and now they clean house.
- 7:20Speaker 6: Yep.
- 7:21Speaker 2: And I can't wait.
- 7:21Speaker 1: I can't wait till they kill all them ramps and
- 7:23Speaker 1: wheelchairs and low nozzles out of the statehouse because everyone's
- 7:27Speaker 1: in there.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Yep.
- 7:29Speaker 7: Yep.
- 7:29Speaker 2: Move all these rams.
- 7:31Speaker 5: Yep.
- 7:31Speaker 1: I don't need to sit down and take a shower.
- 7:33Speaker 2: Get this together. Trying to tell you.
- 7:36Speaker 1: And remember, remember, and who is this goofy ass in
- 7:41Speaker 1: Mississippi that would not drop out, that took 10, 20,
- 7:45Speaker 1: the third party dude?
- 7:47Speaker 2: It's always one. Always one. Always.
- 7:51Speaker 7: Always.
- 7:53Speaker 1: And just think, I was so proud of Angie Nixon,
- 7:55Speaker 1: but the thing is, she's going to run again and
- 7:57Speaker 1: she's going to win. You know, you forgot Elsa Ad
- 7:59Speaker 1: ran for governor before and lost. They can't be a
- 8:03Speaker 1: death without a resurrection. And if you ain't falling, you
- 8:07Speaker 1: ain't climbing. I know she's a star. And this time,
- 8:10Speaker 1: if the Democrats had invested anything in Louisiana, anything in Florida,
- 8:14Speaker 1: we'd have more senators.
- 8:15Speaker 2: Yeah, 100%. Do you know they got 100%?
- 8:19Speaker 1: A hundred seats if they govern even half like the
- 8:22Speaker 1: people want to. You know how long it takes to
- 8:23Speaker 1: win back a hundred seats?
- 8:26Speaker 2: Two years.
- 8:27Speaker 8: No.
- 8:27Speaker 2: Trump did it.
- 8:28Speaker 4: No, no.
- 8:28Speaker 1: This hasn't happened since the early 90s.
- 8:30Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 8:37Speaker 1: This hasn't happened before that since the 30s.
- 8:43Speaker 2: The Texas governor, the abbot, had a sign that said,
- 8:47Speaker 2: let's roll.
- 8:48Speaker 1: Yeah. If you don't get your ass out of here.
- 8:54Speaker 1: I'm so sick of you.
- 8:56Speaker 2: They changed it to roll out. Yeah, they had to.
- 8:58Speaker 1: Get your ass out of here.
- 9:00Speaker 9: Bye.
- 9:01Speaker 1: Man, they got Indians and black people and handicapped. It
- 9:04Speaker 1: looked like the village people.
- 9:06Speaker 2: That's right. Our first gay candidate.
- 9:09Speaker 4: Oh, man.
- 9:09Speaker 1: No, it's a couple of gays. They just ain't out yet.
- 9:12Speaker 2: Yeah, first openly. Yeah, first openly.
- 9:15Speaker 1: They buried Lindsey Graham and her sister.
- 9:18Speaker 2: Yeah, they did. Tim Scott ain't the only * * * *
- 9:24Speaker 2: in the city now. Oh, goodness gracious. There it is.
- 9:28Speaker 2: I bet you J.D. Vance crying through his eyeliner, ain't he?
- 9:31Speaker 6: Oh, man.
- 9:32Speaker 1: Donald Trump talking, you know, if I was on the ballot,
- 9:34Speaker 1: you were on the ballot. Let me tell you something.
- 9:36Speaker 1: You guys don't know. So midterms are generally report cards, right?
- 9:39Speaker 2: Yep.
- 9:41Speaker 1: And I know, out of all of us, may be
- 9:43Speaker 1: the only one who knows what it's like to get
- 9:44Speaker 1: an F on a report card. I know what an
- 9:46Speaker 1: F looks like. Marvin, you couldn't have got one because
- 9:50Speaker 1: they would have sent you to the witch doctor.
- 9:51Speaker 2: Don't do that. You'd have done that.
- 9:53Speaker 1: You'd have been a shrunken head right now. You get
- 9:57Speaker 1: an F, you get ate by a lion.
- 9:59Speaker 4: Naked.
- 10:02Speaker 2: Don't need this skin. You're not using it anyway.
- 10:06Speaker 1: I told him to throw this spell. That's going to
- 10:09Speaker 1: be the question. What were you most surprised by last night?
- 10:13Speaker 1: That's going to be the question.
- 10:14Speaker 2: 877-242-2426.
- 10:14Speaker 1: Also, it's up on Twitter.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Or X and DL Hughley. What surprised you the most?
- 10:23Speaker 2: On Facebook, the D.L. Hughley Show. The website is the DLHughleyShow.com.
- 10:26Speaker 2: And you know what?
- 10:27Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you something. Elon Musk spent half
- 10:30Speaker 1: a billion dollars.
- 10:31Speaker 2: Yes, he did.
- 10:32Speaker 1: And got beat by Mexicans.
- 10:34Speaker 2: Yep. They got him back. They got California and Texas back.
- 10:39Speaker 2: They coming home, ain't they, Jack? Remember us? Remember California
- 10:44Speaker 2: and Texas, man. It's back. Gracias. Man, they won in Iowa.
- 10:49Speaker 1: It turns out, it turns out that maybe having a
- 10:51Speaker 1: commercial with the mother of a daughter who you allow
- 10:54Speaker 1: her husband to rape might not be the flex you
- 10:57Speaker 1: think it is.
- 10:59Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, in most places, whatever flex
- 11:01Speaker 2: they thought they had wasn't the flex they thought it was.
- 11:03Speaker 1: Vivek Ramaswamy is the gator of Indians.
- 11:07Speaker 2: Did you see that? Yeah, that's a group of Indians.
- 11:11Speaker 2: He was like, hey, wait a second. Wait a second.
- 11:13Speaker 2: We're not like him.
- 11:14Speaker 1: I saw it was Hassan. It was it was Betty Hassan.
- 11:17Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 11:18Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 11:18Speaker 2: Wow. He did not hold back.
- 11:20Speaker 6: Yeah, man.
- 11:20Speaker 1: He's giving Haji from Johnny Quest a bad name. What
- 11:26Speaker 1: surprised you the most last night, Sanders?
- 11:28Speaker 2: Well, Byron Donalds. I was really shocked. Because to me,
- 11:31Speaker 2: I can't think of a single thing that he's ever
- 11:33Speaker 2: done or said. He's an unremarkable. That garners a vote?
- 11:38Speaker 2: Get out of here. We'll see.
- 11:40Speaker 8: Watch.
- 11:40Speaker 1: Because he doesn't know now. Because now you got what
- 11:43Speaker 1: you asked for. They always hate black people when they
- 11:45Speaker 1: put them in office. They always do. And they expect
- 11:48Speaker 1: more from them. And he's incapable of it. So we'll see.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Moiba Jones. Um, you voted, right?
- 11:56Speaker 2: You did.
- 11:57Speaker 1: And Moiba was all cynical because I can understand that.
- 12:00Speaker 2: He was sitting with his legs crossed. Like, I don't
- 12:01Speaker 2: really know what to do.
- 12:02Speaker 1: Because, you know, we, we did it without a revolution
- 12:04Speaker 1: this time. We didn't have the junja we attacking each other.
- 12:09Speaker 2: All right. We didn't have the hooties. The hooties. Wow.
- 12:17Speaker 2: We didn't have that. Not one machete was used. Not one.
- 12:19Speaker 1: No, it was a few.
- 12:21Speaker 2: Oh.
- 12:23Speaker 1: They whipped ass so fast. Man, Greg Abbott didn't have
- 12:28Speaker 1: time to get out of this parking space.
- 12:30Speaker 2: Let's roll out.
- 12:31Speaker 1: And give me that handicapped placard back. Park with the
- 12:39Speaker 1: pregnant women. Twelve is enough.
- 12:43Speaker 2: Beat it.
- 12:46Speaker 1: So, Jasmine, you were shot by that. we're going to
- 12:48Speaker 1: find out what more of it was shot by.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Don't worry.
- 12:51Speaker 1: Ice is going to be off your ass soon.
- 12:53Speaker 2: Don't worry about a thing. Call your family. Tell them
- 12:55Speaker 2: they safe.
- 12:55Speaker 1: It is the DL Hughley show, your 2026 edition. So
- 12:59Speaker 1: what surprised you the most about the election last night?
- 13:02Speaker 1: I think the pollsters were shocked. I think that they
- 13:04Speaker 1: thought they could win 255 seats. It looks like that is,
- 13:10Speaker 1: that is almost a hundred. I, it didn't shock me.
- 13:15Speaker 1: Cause I'm telling you, I thought it would be, This
- 13:17Speaker 1: is historic. This hasn't happened in decades.
- 13:20Speaker 2: This was definitely historic. Decades.
- 13:23Speaker 1: Kansas ain't never, man. Mississippi has not had a black
- 13:27Speaker 1: senator since Reconstruction.
- 13:29Speaker 2: Wow.
- 13:31Speaker 1: And I say what you want to. I think our
- 13:34Speaker 1: ancestors had a lot to do with that. I think
- 13:36Speaker 1: the ghosts of Cornwall, of.
- 13:38Speaker 2: Wyoming, Nola Wells. I really do.
- 13:41Speaker 1: Now we have a senator, amen. Have the feds look
- 13:44Speaker 1: into what's happening here.
- 13:44Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 13:45Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
- 13:46Speaker 2: How about that?
- 13:48Speaker 1: And Cindy Hyde, like, find another protein. Well, we got
- 13:51Speaker 1: another you. How about that?
- 13:55Speaker 2: I want to know where all those loud talking black
- 13:56Speaker 2: folks are. Where they at?
- 13:58Speaker 1: All the Stephen A's. Stephen A.
- 13:59Speaker 2: Smith. Yeah, where y'all at? Who was the chew booty
- 14:03Speaker 2: that was crying? He can't be all his own. Where
- 14:07Speaker 2: they at now? What you going to do now? It
- 14:11Speaker 2: can't be all his fault.
- 14:13Speaker 1: Where do they go? Where do people like that go
- 14:14Speaker 1: after this?
- 14:15Speaker 2: I don't know. That's what I want to know. Where
- 14:16Speaker 2: do they go?
- 14:18Speaker 1: We need to know what you're thinking. Let me ask you,
- 14:21Speaker 1: how do you lose when you gerrymandered the districts?
- 14:23Speaker 2: Yeah, you cheated. Because you didn't count the people. And
- 14:26Speaker 2: you know what? They lost.
- 14:27Speaker 1: And everyone they gerrymandered in Florida and Texas, they lost everyone.
- 14:30Speaker 2: Yep, yep.
- 14:33Speaker 1: They won in Tennessee, so we got to have a
- 14:35Speaker 1: conversation about Tennessee and Florida. We got to get that together.
- 14:39Speaker 1: They said the ballots were switching, weren't they? You put
- 14:42Speaker 1: in and they were flipping machines. We watch our movie tickets.
- 14:46Speaker 1: You know we're going to watch our ballots.
- 14:47Speaker 2: Facts. I mean, if we can get Mississippi together, you
- 14:49Speaker 2: can't tell me we can't get Tennessee together. I watch Sinners,
- 14:51Speaker 2: not Marty Supreme. Big, poor, rotten, clean.
- 14:58Speaker 1: Black people.
- 14:59Speaker 2: You know a donkey song? Wait a minute. Yes, he did.
- 15:02Speaker 2: It was white people. Junius, what shocked you the most?
- 15:07Speaker 1: Well, I was like you.
- 15:08Speaker 2: I expected a gap like it was last night. Because
- 15:12Speaker 2: I think.
- 15:23Speaker 1: What people voted for last night was democracy, first and foremost,
- 15:28Speaker 1: because it was some of his supporters.
- 15:30Speaker 2: A whole lot of Hispanics. A lot of rural people, too.
- 15:34Speaker 2: Rural people, too. Because, you know, for the last two years,
- 15:37Speaker 2: we got a real good dose of autocracy.
- 15:40Speaker 8: Yep.
- 15:40Speaker 1: And a little smidge of dictatorship. And people do not
- 15:44Speaker 1: like that. I'm telling you, I don't think it was that.
- 15:47Speaker 1: I think it was too much money, too much corruption.
- 15:51Speaker 2: Too much corruption. It all fits in. That's what autocracy is.
- 15:55Speaker 1: It was too much corruption. And putting it in their
- 15:59Speaker 1: bank accounts and people finally woke up. You know, it's like, damn,
- 16:02Speaker 1: we've been voting against our own interests all this time.
- 16:06Speaker 1: And let me tell you something. They don't want that.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Blacks and Latins and young people. And this is different.
- 16:13Speaker 1: This is different than the coalition Barack put together.
- 16:16Speaker 2: You know why?
- 16:16Speaker 1: Because it's not based on a man. This is not
- 16:19Speaker 1: based on a man. Like, a broad charisma was what
- 16:23Speaker 1: galvanized all these people. This is based on lack. There's
- 16:26Speaker 1: a lot of people that ain't got lack. We ain't
- 16:28Speaker 1: had nothing, man. We can't have this no more. We
- 16:31Speaker 1: can't have it. And there's so many things you could
- 16:32Speaker 1: do right now. If you raise the minimum wage to
- 16:36Speaker 1: $ 20 an hour, you can't do anything about prices, but
- 16:38Speaker 1: you can get people more money in their pockets.
- 16:39Speaker 2: You can't do.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Anything about prices, but you can roll back tariffs.
- 16:42Speaker 2: Yep.
- 16:42Speaker 1: You can't do anything about prices, but you can stop
- 16:44Speaker 1: this war which lowers prices.
- 16:45Speaker 2: Yep.
- 16:46Speaker 1: And I don't think it's unreasonable for these young people.
- 16:48Speaker 1: Give these young people what they want. And one of
- 16:50Speaker 1: the things they want is the ability to buy a home.
- 16:52Speaker 2: Yeah. That's it.
- 16:53Speaker 1: One of the things women want is the autonomy of
- 16:55Speaker 1: their body. They want to be treated fairly. Black people
- 16:57Speaker 1: want you to leave our rights alone. Let's stop all
- 17:00Speaker 1: this bloodletting of this DEI. Because what won last night
- 17:03Speaker 1: was the very thing they tried to attack, diversity.
- 17:05Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, and it was loud.
- 17:07Speaker 1: Trump had grand opening, grand closing.
- 17:09Speaker 2: You know what surprised me the most, man? Texas. I mean,
- 17:13Speaker 2: the overalls. You know what? We knew Tallarico. I wasn't sure, Gina,
- 17:18Speaker 2: but I was hoping.
- 17:19Speaker 6: But what surprised me that a Democrat won every single
- 17:24Speaker 6: statewide election from the agriculture.
- 17:27Speaker 2: Dude to the train dude to the everything.
- 17:30Speaker 5: Everything.
- 17:30Speaker 2: They had a sweep of it.
- 17:32Speaker 1: And I never thought that happened in Texas. Lincoln didn't
- 17:34Speaker 1: beat the South like that. I ain't playing.
- 17:40Speaker 2: I'm not playing. Attaboy from the monument.
- 17:43Speaker 1: We're going to go to the series. What's the voice?
- 17:47Speaker 7: Oh, boy, the election was beautiful.
- 17:49Speaker 5: Blue tsunami.
- 17:50Speaker 3: I'm down here on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi.
- 17:52Speaker 10: This is Brother Daniel.
- 17:54Speaker 7: And we live in large.
- 17:55Speaker 10: We're just waiting to see what this other result going
- 17:57Speaker 10: to be. But I'm telling you, surprised that Abbott left.
- 18:02Speaker 7: But I wasn't surprised.
- 18:03Speaker 10: That Trump talked about Abbott. It goes to show you,
- 18:07Speaker 10: We're going to see a lot of books about these
- 18:09Speaker 10: people that were scared of Trump start talking about Trump
- 18:13Speaker 10: and told them to.
- 18:14Speaker 7: Kiss their next week.
- 18:17Speaker 3: Hey, y'all keep up.
- 18:18Speaker 10: The good work.
- 18:19Speaker 9: So in Ohio, Amy acting as the first female governor,
- 18:22Speaker 9: she beat out Vivek Ramaswamy. And he was so grimy
- 18:26Speaker 9: during the campaign. He put her mother on there and
- 18:29Speaker 9: had her mother saying she was a liar. We just
- 18:31Speaker 9: knew that was going to win him over. He was
- 18:34Speaker 9: endorsed by Trump.
- 18:36Speaker 2: And then Sherrod Brown won.
- 18:38Speaker 9: The Senate seat over John Huston, who was John Huston
- 18:43Speaker 9: was also endorsed by Trump. So we won Democratic in
- 18:48Speaker 9: Ohio too big. First time female governor. And then Sherrod
- 18:52Speaker 9: Brown is back in the Senate. So we doing good.
- 18:55Speaker 7: Yeah, I know the question is what was I surprised about,
- 18:58Speaker 7: but I'm going to change it and say what I
- 19:00Speaker 7: was so proud about, because I was proud that white
- 19:04Speaker 7: people finally woke up and they literally have figured out that.
- 19:07Speaker 7: You trying to take from me and deny me my
- 19:11Speaker 7: rights to a good life actually hurts you even more
- 19:14Speaker 7: and worse. Because unless you're a billionaire or multimillionaire, you're
- 19:18Speaker 7: not going to survive better than me by denying me
- 19:21Speaker 7: of anything that you want. And that election proved that. Finally,
- 19:27Speaker 7: they get it. And it takes for a Republican to
- 19:29Speaker 7: break the country completely for you to hire the people
- 19:33Speaker 7: that need to be in charge. Just like when Obama
- 19:35Speaker 7: got in there, that was because George Bush Jr. literally
- 19:39Speaker 7: broke the country.
- 19:40Speaker 8: I'm glad Democrats got back in charge.
- 19:42Speaker 2: That's what we needed. These people needed, these.
- 19:46Speaker 8: Rich white men need to go somewhere because they don't
- 19:48Speaker 8: know what it costs to.
- 19:49Speaker 2: Live out here.
- 19:50Speaker 11: This is Michael, a truck driver from Houston. But I'm
- 19:53Speaker 11: driving through Florida now. But ironically, I live in New Orleans.
- 19:57Speaker 11: Not Louisiana, because New Orleans, I live in New Orleans.
- 20:00Speaker 11: The rest of that ain't Louisiana. But I am pleasantly
- 20:03Speaker 11: surprised about Texas. I am so proud of my home state.
- 20:08Speaker 11: I am so proud of my home state that they
- 20:10Speaker 11: had the will and the action to get out of
- 20:14Speaker 11: there and vote them people out after 30-plus years. And
- 20:18Speaker 11: the only thing that I ask that the Democrat Party
- 20:21Speaker 11: will do, hold them accountable. Make an example out of MAGA.
- 20:26Speaker 11: The same way they try to make an example out
- 20:29Speaker 11: of us as a quote-unquote determined, there needs to be
- 20:32Speaker 11: an example made out of those people. Somebody needs to
- 20:35Speaker 11: go to jail. For all that corruption, all that do
- 20:39Speaker 11: not play with them, make an example out of them.
- 20:42Speaker 11: That's what I would like for them to do. But
- 20:44Speaker 11: once again, I am so proud of my home state
- 20:46Speaker 11: of Texas. Y'all did it. It's about time. And let's
- 20:50Speaker 11: keep moving forward.
- 20:52Speaker 1: We're going right to the phones. What surprised you the most?
- 20:55Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness.
- 20:56Speaker 4: I think the aha moment for me that night was
- 21:00Speaker 4: when you had a whole regime dead set on eliminating
- 21:04Speaker 4: DEI and trying to eliminate black folks. And you had
- 21:08Speaker 4: a total flip. It's amazing what God can do. You
- 21:11Speaker 4: take something that seems so harsh and so heavy and
- 21:15Speaker 4: flip it on the dime. And it was amazing to watch.
- 21:18Speaker 4: And I'm looking forward to what we have coming next.
- 21:21Speaker 11: I was most surprised by New York.
- 21:25Speaker 8: Governor?
- 21:25Speaker 3: Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it, ladies.
- 21:29Speaker 7: I mean, they did it.
- 21:31Speaker 2: They came out.
- 21:33Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
- 21:34Speaker 2: I like this race. OMG.
- 21:37Speaker 3: OMG. Well, what surprised me most about the election, even
- 21:43Speaker 3: though we win it in great numbers, we're focused on
- 21:46Speaker 3: telling the people that we're going to prosecute Donald Trump.
- 21:48Speaker 3: We're going to prosecute him. We need to. He needs
- 21:51Speaker 3: to go to jail. He needs to ride hell. But
- 21:53Speaker 3: before this thing is done, let's not concentrate on that.
- 21:56Speaker 3: Let's tell the people what we're going to do to
- 21:58Speaker 3: fix it. everything that he damaged. I think that's what
- 22:00Speaker 3: the people want to hear more so than they want
- 22:03Speaker 3: to punt it down the trunk. They definitely want to
- 22:05Speaker 3: hear this bastard riding hell, but they want to know
- 22:08Speaker 3: how can they be made whole again. So we need
- 22:11Speaker 3: to focus on explaining to them we have the power
- 22:14Speaker 3: now to make them whole again. Once we get them
- 22:17Speaker 3: understanding that we're in office to fix their problems, then
- 22:21Speaker 3: we can concentrate on sending this bastard to hell.
- 22:25Speaker 2: Dos elotes, por favor. Fabuloso.
- 22:29Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 22:30Speaker 2: Stop. Sorry. And you know what?
- 22:34Speaker 1: We got to say this. People do not realize how
- 22:37Speaker 1: integral Stacey Abrams was, not just to Georgia. She's from Mississippi.
- 22:41Speaker 1: She helped them organize Mississippi too. So big shout out
- 22:45Speaker 1: to Stacey Abrams and Kamala Harris.
- 22:47Speaker 2: No doubt.
- 22:47Speaker 1: Because without them, without them, this doesn't happen.
- 22:50Speaker 2: I was about to say. It's more the big shout
- 22:52Speaker 2: out because without Stacey Abrams, there would not be a
- 22:55Speaker 2: Keisha Lance Bottoms, especially like this, considering that she had
- 22:58Speaker 2: to sacrifice. That's right. And rather than go somewhere and
- 23:04Speaker 2: lick their wounds and be gone, Stacey said, let me organize.
- 23:07Speaker 2: Take that, Haley Stevens. They did the Moses thing. You
- 23:11Speaker 2: didn't get to the promised land, but you led the
- 23:13Speaker 2: people there. That's right.
- 23:14Speaker 1: Moses had to say that he couldn't even go in.
- 23:16Speaker 2: They walked in.
- 23:17Speaker 1: Hey, Moses, it's nice in here.
- 23:19Speaker 2: See you later. I'll be looking from up here. Told
- 23:22Speaker 2: you not to hit that rock. Hey, Moses, they got
- 23:25Speaker 2: air conditioning. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 23:30Speaker 1: So it is time for our feature. Welcome to the state.
- 23:32Speaker 1: We're going to spotlight some of the funnest comedians. Some,
- 23:34Speaker 1: you know, and so you don't. Welcome to the state.
- 23:36Speaker 1: Mario Hart Hodge from Oakland.
- 23:38Speaker 2: That's a funny, too.
- 23:39Speaker 12: Oh, my mother's my friend on Facebook. And I wrote
- 23:43Speaker 12: some on Facebook the other day that she didn't approve of.
- 23:45Speaker 3: She got on there.
- 23:47Speaker 2: She said, hey, you take this down.
- 23:49Speaker 12: I didn't raise you like that. And I'm like, damn,
- 23:51Speaker 12: I'm not going to cuss my mama out. You know,
- 23:53Speaker 12: that's my mama. You know, I can't disrespect my mom,
- 23:55Speaker 12: but I'm smart. I logged out and came back as
- 23:57Speaker 12: a different person. I said, listen here, you old bitch.
- 24:01Speaker 12: You need to mind your damn business. I'm a fan
- 24:04Speaker 12: of Mario Hyde. You can kiss my ass and kiss
- 24:06Speaker 12: his ass, too. Now, I couldn't leave it like that
- 24:10Speaker 12: because that's my mama, man. So I logged back out.
- 24:13Speaker 12: Came back as myself. And I said, hey, you don't
- 24:17Speaker 12: be talking to my mama like that. I'll kick your ass.
- 24:19Speaker 12: Better be glad I don't know you stay, fool. Then
- 24:23Speaker 12: my wife got on there. I didn't know she was watching.
- 24:25Speaker 12: She was like, that's my mother-in-law. We'll kick your ass.
- 24:28Speaker 12: I've been wanting to say something to my wife for
- 24:29Speaker 12: a long time.
- 24:30Speaker 7: So I logged out.
- 24:32Speaker 12: Came back as the other dude. I said, first of all,
- 24:36Speaker 12: fat bitch, you need to lose some weight. Yo fat ass.
- 24:41Speaker 12: And your vatana said I look like banana pudding.
- 24:42Speaker 2: I don't know how Mario eats that shit. Then my
- 24:46Speaker 2: father got on there. He's like, hey, hey, hey, hey.
- 24:48Speaker 8: That's enough.
- 24:49Speaker 12: You don't disrespect my family. I said, you ain't never
- 24:51Speaker 12: took care of me, sucker.
- 24:54Speaker 2: You a deadbeat dad.
- 24:56Speaker 12: But I forgot to log out.
- 25:00Speaker 1: It is the day we show you a 2026 edition.
- 25:03Speaker 1: Roland Martin, you know, we called in while he was
- 25:06Speaker 1: watching this thing. They weren't drinking at all.
- 25:09Speaker 2: We was having a glass.
- 25:10Speaker 10: Liquor.
- 25:11Speaker 1: Yes.
- 25:12Speaker 2: Dancing and carrying on. He was just sitting there.
- 25:15Speaker 1: I called Killer Mike to talk to him.
- 25:17Speaker 2: Did he pick up?
- 25:17Speaker 1: Yeah, of course he picked up.
- 25:18Speaker 2: I know we talked to Don Lemon.
- 25:20Speaker 1: I talked to Don Lemon. They got mad at me
- 25:22Speaker 1: for what I said about the Whiteness Church in Detroit.
- 25:24Speaker 2: Yes. So what? Yeah.
- 25:26Speaker 12: Well.
- 25:28Speaker 2: I mean, listen, this is what he said. I'm not
- 25:31Speaker 2: saying that I'm on his side, but he said himself,
- 25:34Speaker 2: he did a video and posted it on social media
- 25:36Speaker 2: and said, I had no idea that that was going
- 25:41Speaker 2: to happen. I knew Mike Rogers was coming and Abdul
- 25:45Speaker 2: El-Sayed was supposed to come, but I didn't know that
- 25:48Speaker 2: all of this was going to take place. You're lying ass.
- 25:50Speaker 1: Okay, I bet you knew when somebody gave you $ 1, 200
- 25:52Speaker 1: instead of $ 2, 000. You know that, right?
- 25:54Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
- 25:55Speaker 1: I bet you knew your brother duked up abroad.
- 25:59Speaker 2: You knew that, right?
- 26:00Speaker 1: I'm so tired of y'all doing stuff like that. They're
- 26:02Speaker 1: not going to let nobody in their church. They don't
- 26:04Speaker 1: know who it is.
- 26:05Speaker 2: All I want to do is explain. Stop it. And
- 26:15Speaker 2: all of them. How is it that the pope is against? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 26:19Speaker 1: How can the Fisher of men be?
- 26:21Speaker 2: Because my thing is, I get it. You know, he
- 26:23Speaker 2: did this whole thing about how, you know, every time
- 26:25Speaker 2: that there's an election and they're pulling people running for office,
- 26:28Speaker 2: that they're all welcome to come is what he said.
- 26:31Speaker 2: But my thing is, you wouldn't welcome everyone into your house,
- 26:35Speaker 2: would you? Especially if you knew that they were against
- 26:37Speaker 2: your family, your friends and your circle of trust. Why
- 26:41Speaker 2: would you.
- 26:41Speaker 1: Even let them come up in the church? They had
- 26:45Speaker 1: Jake Lane, the white supremacist, come to their churches. That
- 26:48Speaker 1: was in Harlem. No, but I'm talking about even that.
- 26:51Speaker 1: Look at Jake Lane in Detroit. He went to the
- 26:53Speaker 1: Detroit church. So I don't have no respect for them.
- 26:56Speaker 2: Yeah. It's no black church.
- 26:59Speaker 1: It's just, you know, you know why there's a black church?
- 27:01Speaker 1: Because they wouldn't let you go to church because they
- 27:03Speaker 1: had a slave Bible. You know why it's the first AME?
- 27:06Speaker 1: Because you couldn't go with them. You couldn't go to
- 27:08Speaker 1: church with them.
- 27:09Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 27:10Speaker 2: So stop it.
- 27:10Speaker 1: And the very premise that you exist on, now you're
- 27:13Speaker 1: trying to deny it because it's expedient for you. And
- 27:15Speaker 1: it was a fat dude, gray to do gray, who,
- 27:18Speaker 1: you know, was trying to get, was knocking off abroad,
- 27:20Speaker 1: tried to get her a Lamborghini truck. Remember the fat dude?
- 27:23Speaker 1: Remember I saw him? Remember that dude? Who was that
- 27:27Speaker 1: fat dude?
- 27:30Speaker 2: I saw him.
- 27:30Speaker 1: He's like, hey, you know I ain't going to speak
- 27:32Speaker 1: to you. You know that, right? I don't just dislike
- 27:35Speaker 1: you on the radio. I dislike you in life. What's
- 27:39Speaker 1: his name? John Gray, right?
- 27:40Speaker 2: Yes, that was his name.
- 27:41Speaker 1: Oh, yes, it was John Gray. You saw that fat-ass
- 27:44Speaker 1: dude wrapped up in an American flag. It looked like
- 27:47Speaker 1: a Fourth of July hot dog.
- 27:48Speaker 2: Fat-ass. Oh, my God.
- 27:55Speaker 1: Didn't he write a book that all the broads like?
- 27:58Speaker 1: Remember that?
- 27:59Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know. He wrote a book or something.
- 28:02Speaker 1: If you were the author, you would know who I am.
- 28:05Speaker 2: I bet.
- 28:06Speaker 1: Shout out to Ava Ryan on her cute little fifth book.
- 28:08Speaker 2: Her cute little book. You authors, I swear. It ain't seven.
- 28:14Speaker 2: I have six books. You're doing too much. Hey there,
- 28:20Speaker 2: welcome back to the show. We're hanging out here and
- 28:21Speaker 2: conversating with Dion Cole. That's my new word.
- 28:30Speaker 1: But you know what?
- 28:31Speaker 2: They just added that to the dictionary. They did, actually.
- 28:34Speaker 2: Thank you very much. I was using it wrong and
- 28:37Speaker 2: then I found out they added it.
- 28:40Speaker 1: I'm not going to take the word of you and
- 28:43Speaker 1: then a chick that went to online school.
- 28:46Speaker 2: I'm not doing that. But you're the one who paid
- 28:48Speaker 2: for it.
- 28:53Speaker 1: What I dig about you is, you know, I follow
- 28:55Speaker 1: you on Instagram.
- 28:57Speaker 2: You crack me up.
- 28:58Speaker 7: Likewise.
- 28:59Speaker 1: And you crack me up because there's still, it's almost like,
- 29:03Speaker 1: you know, like when you get a spinoff, somebody saw you,
- 29:07Speaker 1: you were so dope on Black History, they gave you,
- 29:09Speaker 1: like that's a, that takes a lot to traverse those
- 29:13Speaker 1: kind of worlds. But you still don't forget that you
- 29:16Speaker 1: gig a lot on the weekends.
- 29:18Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 29:19Speaker 1: You're still out there. You're still doing funny stuff and
- 29:21Speaker 1: provocative stuff.
- 29:22Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 29:23Speaker 1: And there's a tendency to want to kind of protect.
- 29:25Speaker 1: Like when you're on your way to work and you
- 29:27Speaker 1: get an Emmy nomination, you want to kind of do
- 29:29Speaker 1: what you did. Like most people, the safe thing to
- 29:32Speaker 1: do is kind of try to replicate what happened.
- 29:35Speaker 2: But it don't say that you do it. Yeah, I don't.
- 29:37Speaker 13: I mean, like I like I said, I don't even
- 29:39Speaker 13: be knowing what I'm doing sometimes. I'm not even lying, man.
- 29:45Speaker 13: I just be doing what I do. And then this happens.
- 29:48Speaker 13: And then I go, Oh wow. You know what I mean? But,
- 29:51Speaker 13: and it's that moment in time, it's a lot of
- 29:54Speaker 13: times I don't even like be like knowing, knowing what
- 29:57Speaker 13: I'm doing until I do it. I like, like, When
- 30:00Speaker 13: I first got on Black-ish or whatever, I never submitted
- 30:03Speaker 13: myself for awards.
- 30:05Speaker 2: Like, I just didn't. Like, I didn't know what to do.
- 30:08Speaker 4: Right.
- 30:08Speaker 2: Like, you know what I mean? Like, I just didn't
- 30:10Speaker 2: know the process.
- 30:12Speaker 6: Right.
- 30:12Speaker 13: And I still deal with that to this day. I
- 30:14Speaker 13: just kind of, like, almost just exist in my world.
- 30:18Speaker 2: And whatever comes, it comes. Isn't that what it's supposed
- 30:20Speaker 2: to be? I mean, that's how I think it should be.
- 30:23Speaker 6: Right.
- 30:23Speaker 2: Like, anything I ever got, anything I ever auditioned for,
- 30:26Speaker 2: I never got. Ever. Anything.
- 30:29Speaker 11: Wow.
- 30:29Speaker 13: And everything has always been all vibes and people. Like,
- 30:33Speaker 13: even with Conan, it was just him going, come right.
- 30:36Speaker 4: Black-ish.
- 30:36Speaker 2: I was going over there to write. I wasn't supposed
- 30:38Speaker 2: to be on the show. I wasn't.
- 30:39Speaker 13: Charlie Murphy was supposed to be that character. That's why
- 30:41Speaker 13: the character's name is Charlie.
- 30:43Speaker 2: Right. And so I was going to write. Right.
- 30:45Speaker 13: And then Charlie went on to do it, and I
- 30:46Speaker 13: did it. Like, it was just all these, just always like, hey, like,
- 30:51Speaker 13: right there.
- 30:51Speaker 2: How did you get to sell deodorant, though?
- 30:54Speaker 3: Again.
- 30:54Speaker 2: Again.
- 30:56Speaker 13: Again, they were looking for a guy who was kind
- 31:00Speaker 13: of quirky and just kind of odd and different. And
- 31:05Speaker 13: they wanted somebody that was like an everyday guy type thing.
- 31:08Speaker 13: And they called me up and they was just like, yo,
- 31:12Speaker 13: what do you think? And I was just like, I mean, yeah,
- 31:14Speaker 13: we can do it. I mean, if you all want to.
- 31:16Speaker 13: And I was like, but I'll call you back. No,
- 31:23Speaker 13: but I was like, I didn't, I didn't believe it.
- 31:25Speaker 13: I didn't believe what was going on at the time.
- 31:27Speaker 13: And I was there, but then they was like, yeah, yeah,
- 31:28Speaker 13: we should, we should link up and get together. Next
- 31:30Speaker 13: thing I know, I was.
- 31:32Speaker 2: What do you think?
- 31:33Speaker 1: Like, like Chicago gets like, like when you see the
- 31:36Speaker 1: characterization of Chicago, what do you think?
- 31:38Speaker 2: Right now?
- 31:39Speaker 1: Yes.
- 31:40Speaker 2: Chicago needs, I talk.
- 31:44Speaker 13: About this right now, the gun violence and everything that's
- 31:46Speaker 13: going on in Chicago. I love my city to death,
- 31:48Speaker 13: but they try to bring in as many national guards
- 31:52Speaker 13: and all that in order to kind.
- 31:54Speaker 2: Of contain the situation.
- 31:55Speaker 13: But it's deepening that, and I feel as though as
- 31:59Speaker 13: long as there's no love in these households, there will
- 32:03Speaker 13: always be gangs.
- 32:05Speaker 2: You can bring in as many national guards as you
- 32:07Speaker 2: want to.
- 32:08Speaker 1: It's such a dope city. And I think if people
- 32:11Speaker 1: wanted to, it's not just about taking guns away from them.
- 32:14Speaker 1: It's about giving them the opportunity. And here's what I
- 32:16Speaker 1: say about cats like you and Rail and all the
- 32:21Speaker 1: cats that have come from there. Because I think, and
- 32:23Speaker 1: D-Ray and all, just dope cats who think a different way.
- 32:27Speaker 1: And one of the things that I notice about you
- 32:30Speaker 1: cats is when you get in an environment, you just flourish.
- 32:34Speaker 1: You flourish, not because you're already ready to, like, you
- 32:38Speaker 1: catch like cactuses. Cactuses don't need a lot.
- 32:41Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 32:42Speaker 1: They can grow out of the cider, build it. Oh,
- 32:44Speaker 1: they drop the water.
- 32:45Speaker 2: Now I have an ending.
- 32:47Speaker 3: Oops.
- 32:49Speaker 2: Nomination. We can conversate about that later. What are you.
- 32:58Speaker 1: Doing with it? I'm proud of what you have done,
- 33:02Speaker 1: but I'm proud of what you have done. I love
- 33:04Speaker 1: having cats on the show that I get to talk
- 33:09Speaker 1: to them all the time. And I love your ethic.
- 33:12Speaker 2: Thank you so much, man.
- 33:13Speaker 13: But it's And I ain't saying this on no cliche
- 33:16Speaker 13: stuff or whatever, but as you know, man, we looked
- 33:19Speaker 13: up to these dudes, man, forever. And been running in
- 33:23Speaker 13: their footsteps forever. Our whole careers, man, it's always been like, man,
- 33:29Speaker 13: if we can get to that spot with D and
- 33:32Speaker 13: Sid and them at, and Bernie and Steve and them at, man, if.
- 33:35Speaker 2: We could just get there.
- 33:36Speaker 13: Like, that was always the drive, man.
- 33:38Speaker 2: That always was the drive. I should have had y'all
- 33:41Speaker 2: posters on my wall or something. And now, man, I
- 33:46Speaker 2: got to get that. I got to get that. You
- 33:50Speaker 2: know what? Now I have old spiders. Oh, my God.
- 33:54Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Deon Cole. We certainly appreciate it.
- 33:55Speaker 2: Thank you so much. Remember, you can hear more of
- 33:57Speaker 2: our discussion every day on our radio show. Check out
- 34:00Speaker 2: our website, thedlhuglieshow.com, for local listings. We'll be back coming
- 34:03Speaker 2: up on the DL Hughley Show.
- 34:04Speaker 1: It's now time to give a deserving someone a Shoe
- 34:06Speaker 1: Booty of the Week award. There's so many.
- 34:08Speaker 2: We can give them to anybody.
- 34:09Speaker 5: And now it's time for the Shoe Booty of the
- 34:15Speaker 5: Week award. Jeremiah Todman was hired onto the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police
- 34:23Speaker 5: Department in 2022, placed on administrative assignment on August 18th, 2026,
- 34:30Speaker 5: and suspended without pay on October 9th, 2026, after being
- 34:37Speaker 5: cited for termination.
- 34:38Speaker 12: Yikes!
- 34:39Speaker 5: Todman remained suspended without pay pending civil service board review.
- 34:44Speaker 4: Ew!
- 34:56Speaker 5: So, why is Jeremiah this week's recipient of the Shoe
- 35:00Speaker 5: Booty of the Week award?
- 35:02Speaker 2: Why?
- 35:03Speaker 5: Jeremiah Todman gets the shoe booty because he wanted to
- 35:08Speaker 5: play a game with his fellow officers, but he wasn't
- 35:13Speaker 5: up on game. So these Charlotte cops had a group
- 35:16Speaker 5: chat where they were competing to see who could arrest
- 35:20Speaker 5: the most black people.
- 35:21Speaker 2: What did you say?
- 35:22Speaker 5: And then we find out one of the officers in
- 35:25Speaker 5: the chat is Jeremiah Todman, who is black.
- 35:31Speaker 1: Oh, no, no, no, no.
- 35:32Speaker 5: Brother, what are you doing? You're not just in the
- 35:35Speaker 5: group chat. You're in the group chat. That's not playing along.
- 35:40Speaker 5: That's playing yourself. This is that Dave Chappelle sketch where
- 35:44Speaker 5: the blind black guy joins the Klan because nobody told him.
- 35:48Speaker 11: Who is this?
- 35:49Speaker 5: Except here, he can see. A black cop hunting black
- 35:54Speaker 5: people is like a vegan working the drive-thru at Popeye's
- 35:58Speaker 5: and still asking if the chicken sandwich comes with extra sauce.
- 36:02Speaker 2: Crispy chicken, first lettuce, three cheeses.
- 36:07Speaker 5: That's like Vanilla Ice joining Wu-Tang. He's not undercover. He's
- 36:14Speaker 5: just confused with the badge. The other officers at least
- 36:18Speaker 5: have an excuse of being regular racist. Jeremiah's out here
- 36:23Speaker 5: trying to win the trophy from the inside. Did he
- 36:27Speaker 5: think if he arrested enough of us, they'd finally let
- 36:30Speaker 5: him hold the trophy?
- 36:31Speaker 12: We don't like your cow.
- 36:34Speaker 5: Chief says they haven't found proof he targeted anybody on
- 36:38Speaker 5: the street yet.
- 36:39Speaker 7: Cool.
- 36:39Speaker 5: So he just really committed to the bit. That's dedication.
- 36:44Speaker 5: Or cry for help. Either way, somebody needs to sit
- 36:48Speaker 5: Jeremiah down, show him a mirror, and ask him very
- 36:53Speaker 5: slowly whose team you think you on. And that's why
- 36:59Speaker 5: the shootout. Booty of the Week award goes to Jeremiah Todman.
- 37:08Speaker 5: Now here's a swift kick in the ass.
- 37:13Speaker 1: Now it's time for what you need to know with
- 37:14Speaker 1: the one and only Sybil Wilkes.
- 37:15Speaker 8: It's Sybil Wilkes with what we need to know. In
- 37:18Speaker 8: a historic midterm election, former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms
- 37:22Speaker 8: was elected Tuesday night to be the governor of Georgia,
- 37:26Speaker 8: becoming the first black female governor in American history, while
- 37:30Speaker 8: leading a statewide sweep of executive offices by black female
- 37:34Speaker 8: candidates as well. With Democrats capturing majorities in both chambers
- 37:38Speaker 8: of Congress, New York Congressman Hakeem Jeffries is on track
- 37:41Speaker 8: to become the nation's first black speaker of the House
- 37:44Speaker 8: when the new Congress convenes in January. The Democratic sweep
- 37:48Speaker 8: flipped six Senate seats across Iowa, Kansas, North Carolina, Ohio,
- 37:52Speaker 8: South Carolina and Texas. In responding to the results, President
- 37:56Speaker 8: Trump admitted surprise at the scale of Democratic victories, acknowledging
- 38:00Speaker 8: the opposition ran a strong campaign, and warning he will
- 38:03Speaker 8: quickly veto any legislation that contradicts his own administration's agenda.
- 38:08Speaker 5: I'm Sybil Wilkes.
- 38:09Speaker 2: Be informed. Be empowered. Don't say that. It's historical.
- 38:26Speaker 1: It's a lot of broads in state houses now.
- 38:29Speaker 6: Yep.
- 38:29Speaker 2: New York got one. Georgia got one. Ohio got one.
- 38:35Speaker 2: It's about to change around here.
- 38:38Speaker 1: Yeah, Ohio got one. Texas got one. New Mexico got one. Man,
- 38:43Speaker 1: and everybody's progressive except Byron Donald.
- 38:47Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. How in the world?
- 38:49Speaker 6: Shoot, booty.
- 38:50Speaker 1: I'm telling you, he ain't going to do good.
- 38:52Speaker 2: Yeah. You got to let one in. Come on. He's
- 38:54Speaker 2: a dummy.
- 38:55Speaker 1: They're going to be running all over that dude. We
- 38:57Speaker 1: got you in. Now do what we say. And then, Byron,
- 39:03Speaker 1: every once in a while, you got to take that stick.
- 39:05Speaker 1: They got to be clean every once in a while.
- 39:06Speaker 1: You can't just.
- 39:09Speaker 2: Tim Scott going to be like, well, what am I
- 39:10Speaker 2: going to do?
- 39:12Speaker 1: You know what you're going to do? If that girl
- 39:13Speaker 1: does good, you know what you're going to do? You're
- 39:15Speaker 1: going to be looking for work. You're going to be
- 39:17Speaker 1: looking for work.
- 39:18Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 39:19Speaker 8: Watch.

- 39:37Speaker 1: don't try to... That's like they caught us mid-sentence. They

- 39:56Speaker 1: Remember, Kenny was taking this walk. He's like, I was
- 39:58Speaker 1: about to show them boys something. You're going to get
- 40:00Speaker 1: your old ass folded up. That's what you're going to do.
- 40:06Speaker 2: I was about to help him up. I said, what?
- 40:09Speaker 2: Who you talking to? I told you, that's his new word. Whatever.
- 40:19Speaker 2: I tell you what, though. Uncle Kenny loves his rum
- 40:21Speaker 2: and coke on Tuesdays.
- 40:23Speaker 1: I didn't know he had rum and coke.
- 40:24Speaker 2: He sure does. Check your Diplomatico. That's why I don't
- 40:28Speaker 2: have any? That's why you don't have any. Whatever. I'm
- 40:33Speaker 2: going to get you some rum. Don't use that.
- 40:34Speaker 1: That rum is too sweet.

- 40:36Speaker 2: He likes it. Oh, that's what it is. As soon
- 40:38Speaker 2: as I get in there, he's got a little rum
- 40:40Speaker 2: and coke.
- 40:40Speaker 1: I was like, what? Who's drinking my rum?
- 40:43Speaker 2: That's why he laughs so loud when he's watching San Francisco.
- 40:46Speaker 2: He hopped up on that stuff. Leave my Uncle Kenny alone.

- 44:07Speaker 1: And come through.
- 44:07Speaker 2: Come on, Precious.
- 44:09Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you some questions we need to know. Like,
- 44:12Speaker 1: even though I understand that the primary focus is going
- 44:16Speaker 1: to make the American people's lives better, but you still
- 44:20Speaker 1: got to have some oversight. Like, we need to know
- 44:22Speaker 1: what happened to that 300 million you got from the
- 44:24Speaker 1: Venezuelans that you put in your personal account.
- 44:26Speaker 2: Yes, we need to know that.
- 44:28Speaker 1: We need to see that tape of you bombing those
- 44:31Speaker 1: fishing boats in Venezuela.
- 44:33Speaker 6: Uh-huh.
- 44:33Speaker 1: We need to know how, what the Qataris, what you
- 44:36Speaker 1: got for getting a half a billion dollar plane from
- 44:39Speaker 1: the Qataris.
- 44:40Speaker 2: The Brotherhood. Yeah, we need the FC list.
- 44:44Speaker 1: All of that. First off, I think they should, they
- 44:47Speaker 1: should impeach Ed Smith. And I think a lot of Republicans.
- 44:50Speaker 2: Right away.
- 44:50Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, because they're going to try
- 44:52Speaker 1: to make a scapegoat out of it. If the war
- 44:53Speaker 1: is unpopular, everybody know you did. He ain't going to
- 44:55Speaker 1: blame himself. He ain't going to blame J.D.
- 44:56Speaker 3: Vance.
- 44:56Speaker 1: They're getting rid of that dude. They're going to get
- 44:58Speaker 1: rid of him. I'm going to tell you something else.
- 45:01Speaker 1: Trump is so transactional. He's going to, Whatever makes him
- 45:04Speaker 1: look good, he'll do. He don't have to. Whatever will
- 45:07Speaker 1: make him look good, he'll do. He got to do
- 45:09Speaker 1: whatever he wants. He cannot govern. He's not a good man.
- 45:12Speaker 1: He's not a good businessman. And you saw, he was
- 45:14Speaker 1: so bad that this would happen. He's so bad he
- 45:17Speaker 1: lost Kansas. You lost Kansas, where Barack Obama's from. And
- 45:23Speaker 1: his grandparents are from Kansas. His grandparents are from Kansas.
- 45:26Speaker 1: His grandparents were from Kansas. Maybe that's a famous story.
- 45:34Speaker 2: Yeah, but he wasn't. Okay. Right.
- 45:37Speaker 1: He was raised by his grandparents from Kansas, right? Don't
- 45:40Speaker 1: y'all know the story?
- 45:41Speaker 2: When did he go to Hawaii?
- 45:45Speaker 1: I'm just asking. I'm trying to educate me. I know
- 45:49Speaker 1: he went to Hawaii, but his grandparents are from Kansas
- 45:51Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. I mean, he's visited Kansas before.
- 45:54Speaker 2: Wait for the summer. He was born by the river.
- 45:59Speaker 6: Really?
- 46:00Speaker 2: Obama grandparents.
- 46:02Speaker 1: Where they from?
- 46:02Speaker 2: It says he was not born or raised in Kansas,
- 46:05Speaker 2: though he has family roots there through his mother's side.
- 46:10Speaker 2: But I was going to say he wasn't raised there.
- 46:11Speaker 2: He didn't go there until.
- 46:13Speaker 1: He was like 47. Yeah, you can't go there with
- 46:15Speaker 1: an African boyfriend. You can't go to Kansas pregnant by
- 46:18Speaker 1: an African dude back then.
- 46:20Speaker 2: Come on. His maternal grandparents are from Wichita.
- 46:23Speaker 11: Yes.
- 46:24Speaker 2: But he didn't go there until his presidential run.
- 46:26Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm telling you what, what you can't do is
- 46:29Speaker 1: come home. This is from Cluck Cluck.
- 46:31Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 46:31Speaker 1: And I'm pregnant with him.
- 46:33Speaker 2: Oh. You and your show from Mighty Cluck. I do
- 46:36Speaker 2: understand that.
- 46:38Speaker 1: From Cluck Cluck.
- 46:39Speaker 2: He can't stay here. He's Cluck Cluck from Kenya. I'm sorry.
- 46:43Speaker 2: That's horrible.
- 46:45Speaker 1: He can't stay here. We don't have any products he.
- 46:46Speaker 2: Uses at all.
- 46:47Speaker 1: Well, there he goes.
