FULL EP | NY judge demands Trump administration to unfreeze over $16 billion for the state; What are your thoughts on Bad Bunny’s Halftime show; R&B star Howard Hewett joins DLHS; Kid Rock’s MAGA festival canceled due to performers pulling out; and More

The D.L. Hughley Show opens with a punch as the crew dives into the breaking news that a federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to unfreeze more than $16 billion in funding for New York and New Jersey’s critical Gateway rail tunnel project after determining the freeze would cause irreparable harm to workers and the region’s infrastructure. DL connects the ruling to the wider political climate, calling out repeated racial fractures in America and Trump’s recent controversies, including the racial meme he circulated. The Question of the Day comes from a fiery take on Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show, celebrating the cultural pride and massive global response, while also noting the backlash among critics who attacked the Spanish-language performance — a divide that has dominated social media reactions.   R&B legend Howard Hewett joins the team with warmth and wisdom, sharing stories of longevity, authenticity, and artistry that resonate deeply with DL and listeners. The show wraps with more political turbulence as DL highlights the meltdown of Kid Rock’s MAGA‑leaning “Rock the Country” festival, which was forced to cancel its South Carolina stop after multiple artists — including Shinedown, Ludacris, and others — pulled out due to the event’s polarizing political associations. With culture, politics, and music colliding at every turn, DL and the crew keep the conversation sharp, insightful, and unmistakably real.   Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/the-dl-hughley-show See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
