The D.L. Hughley Show

History just got a Mississippi accent, and D.L. Hughley and the crew are celebrating it with plenty of laughs and big opinions. Democrat Scott Colom defeated GOP Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith after days of ballot counting, becoming Mississippi’s first Black senator since Reconstruction and the first Democrat the state has sent to the Senate since 1982. Colom, a district attorney, won narrowly after Hyde-Smith conceded and congratulated him, and D.L. and the crew relish the full-circle twist: she helped block his 2022 federal judgeship nomination, and he ended up taking her seat. D.L.’s GED Section credits Black voters, students and organizers for galvanizing the South, while the Question of the Day asks listeners what they are most proud of or hopeful about after the election, drawing calls about the Mississippi win, Black women in Georgia, young voters and communities of every race banding together.
The show also turns to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, whose group was reprimanded by an Army sentinel at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery after laughter and chatter followed the Veterans Day ceremony. The sentinel called out, “All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times,” and the Pentagon said the soldier “correctly and respectfully reminded everyone to maintain decorum.” Hegseth later awarded the soldier, Spc. Thomas Iglesias, a Joint Service Commendation Medal. Finally, D.L. and the crew pile on the news that Stephen A. Smith is headed back to the White House, a follow-up to his controversial October dinner with President Trump. Smith interviewed Trump for about 40 minutes for his YouTube show and told reporters there was “no way in hell” he would take the vacant press secretary job, while D.L. and the crew joke about what it says that Democrats won Mississippi while Smith keeps a seat at Trump’s table.
