FULL EP | Trump Wants National Guard in Chicago and Baltimore; Should Stepdad Get Gift for Both Daughter and Stepdaughter; Talking All That Jazz with Tracy J. Jenkins; and MORE

In the first hour of The D.L. Hughley Show Podcast, D.L. tackled Trump’s controversial decision to once again deploy troops into Washington, D.C., questioning whether the move was truly about public safety or political theater. During the GED Section, he also unpacked the firing of a teacher for reading the N-word aloud from To Kill a Mockingbird, sparking a broader conversation on censorship, context, and how America struggles to confront its racial past.

The Question of the Day in hour two stirred up strong reactions: a stepfather admitted to buying his biological daughter a gift but not doing the same for his stepdaughter. Listeners weighed in on whether this was simple favoritism or a deeper issue of fairness and responsibility in blended families. The third hour shifted to solutions and healing, with Jasmine Sanders welcoming Tracy J. Jenkins from Taraji P. Henson’s Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation to highlight “Joy Joints,” a new national campaign designed to promote mental health and joy in Black communities. The mix of politics, family dynamics, and community care made for a classic DLHS blend of tough talk and uplifting insight.
