On this episode of The D.L. Hughley Show Podcast, D.L. and the crew got into some heavy hitting topics. During the GED Section, D.L. spoke about President Donald Trump declaring a public safety emergency in Washington, D.C., deploying approximately 800 National Guard troops and placing the city’s Metropolitan Police Department under federal control—citing rising crime despite data showing a 30-year low in violent incidents. This marks the second major domestic deployment this summer, following a controversial mobilization in Los Angeles.  

Meanwhile, TV icon Kim Fields joined the DLHS crew to reflect on her massive career—from her early breakout on The Facts of Life to her current role as Regina on Netflix’s The Upshaws. Former NBA champion Tristan Thompson accepted a role as Chief Digital Equity Officer at global telecom company World Mobile. In this newly created position, he’s spearheading efforts to bridge the digital divide using pioneering peer-to-peer network infrastructure to connect underserved communities worldwide.
