FULL EP | Corporation of Public Broadcasting officially shutting down; Are you tipping at self-service establishments; US Senate votes to block further military action in Venezuela; and MORE

from The D.L. Hughley Show · host Urban One Podcast Network

Big changes and big questions dominated this episode of The D.L. Hughley Show. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the backbone of NPR, PBS, and countless local stations, has officially shut down after Congress slashed over $1 billion in funding. This move leaves public media scrambling for survival through donations and corporate support, marking the end of an era for educational programming and trusted news sources. Meanwhile, the U.S. Senate passed a bipartisan resolution to block further military action in Venezuela without congressional approval, signaling a push to rein in executive power after recent controversial operations.  On a lighter note, for the Question of the Day, the team tackled the hot-button question of tipping at self-service establishments. With automation replacing traditional service, listeners debated whether tipping is still necessary when you’re doing most of the work yourself. Jasmine Sanders rounded out the show with five surprising facts, from the 40,000 toilet-related injuries reported annually to the shocking seven percent of Americans who believe chocolate milk comes from brown cows. It was a mix of serious headlines and fun trivia—classic D.L. Hughley style.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/the-dl-hughley-show  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
