Full EP | FBI director Kash Patel suing “The Atlantic” for alcoholism claims; Do you allow other people to spank your children; Actor and comedian Marlon Wayans joins DLHS crew; Shreveport man un-alives 8 children and 2 women; and More

From legal drama at the highest levels of law enforcement to tough conversations about family, discipline, and unimaginable tragedy, this episode of The D.L. Hughley Show pulls no punches. The crew opens with a sharp breakdown of Kash Patel, the current FBI Director, suing The Atlantic for $250 million over a report alleging alcohol abuse and erratic behavior—claims Patel strongly denies while the outlet stands by its reporting, setting up a high-stakes legal fight that reignites debate about media accountability and public officials. The show then pivots to the Question of the Day, sparked by a real-life family dispute: should grandparents or other relatives be allowed to spank your children? The conversation reflects a growing generational divide, as recent studies show many parents rejecting corporal punishment while older generations defend it as discipline, not abuse. The mood shifts as actor and comedian Marlon Wayans joins DL and the crew for a wide-ranging, heartfelt conversation about carving out his own voice in comedy, carrying the Wayans legacy, and his return to the big screen with Scary Movie 6, which reunites him with his brothers and is set for release later this year. The episode closes on a devastating note with coverage of the Shreveport, Louisiana mass shooting, where a father killed eight children—including seven of his own—in what authorities have described as a domestic violence tragedy that has shaken the community and the nation. As always, DL balances humor, honesty, and hard truth while confronting the stories everyone is talking about—but few know how to process.
