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

The D.L. Hughley Show dives into politics, parenting, Hollywood, and controversy in an episode that balances sharp commentary with candid conversations. D.L. Hughley tackled the White House’s new proposal to spend $60 million on boosting security for the executive and judicial branches. This move is in response to the shooting death of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. D.L. and the team questioned the priorities behind the proposal, noting that protections for others, like members of Congress or even Vice President Harris in the past, weren’t given the same urgency.  The Question of the Day sparked fiery calls after a mom protested her mother-in-law spanking her toddler — reigniting the debate over whether grandparents and others should discipline children. Actor Harry Lennix Jr. (known for roles in The Five Heartbeats, The Blacklist, and Man of Steel) joined the show to discuss his career, his passion project of building a performing arts center in Chicago, and his take on the entertainment industry. Finally, the crew unpacked the wave of people allegedly losing jobs for posting about Charlie Kirk’s death, raising questions about free speech, double standards, and how America selectively responds to political violence.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/the-dl-hughley-show  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
