Wrapping Up and Show Information

Political breakthroughs, celebrity breakups, and a gospel comeback—Rickey Smiley and the crew bring the headlines, heart, and humor. Journalist April Ryan joins the show to discuss Notes on a Blacklash: When a Black Woman Goes Viral,exploring the racial and gender-based attacks Black women face for showing up authentically. She celebrates historic election breakthroughs while reminding listeners that protecting democracy requires continued civic engagement, not just winning at the polls. Gary With the Tea then dives into Carmelo and La La Anthony’s confidential divorce settlement following their 2017 separation and her 2021 filing; reports differ on final court approval, and the undisclosed financial terms spark a hilarious debate over whether the public deserves to know their business. 

In What’s Trending, Tye Tribbett brings infectious energy and a moving testimony about reclaiming hope, faith, and joy after personal loss. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Victory, he previews V20: First Semester, arriving November 13, with a refreshed “I Want It All Back” featuring ABLAZE, and shares the joys of being a grandfather. The news roundup also explores Wall Street’s post-election rally and falling oil prices as investors weigh divided government, the Iran war, and future policy uncertainty. Gary rounds out the celebrity conversation with renewed claims from designer Wayne Scot Lukas about Janet Jackson’s 2004 Super Bowl performance—an account that conflicts with Jackson’s explanation that the exposure was accidental—keeping the conversation lively without treating allegations as established fact.

Election Day has arrived, and the Rickey Smiley Morning Show crew is urging everybody to turn their voice into a vote. Rickey and the team open with the issues on the ballot, from everyday costs like groceries, gas and rent to the Supreme Court’s decision rejecting a request to set aside roughly 20,000 California mail ballots, and they challenge listeners to call their adult children and help older neighbors and church members get to the polls. Divine Nine leaders Cheryl W. Turner of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated and Jimmy McMichael of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated highlight efforts to get 100,000 Black men to vote early, note that more than 340,000 Black men had already voted early in Georgia alone, and point voters to resources like the 866-OUR-VOTE hotline and a virtual “Situation Room” on the NPHC YouTube channel. Their message: get off the sidelines, because your voice is your vote. 

Political voices Bakari Sellers and Roland Martin keep the energy high. Sellers cautions that voters may dislike both parties and that problems like affordability run deeper than any one politician, while Martin calls on Black churches to activate vans and buses and lays out the races and ballot measures he is watching across the South. Joy Reid, joining the show for the first time, calls this election one of the most consequential of our lives and says the vote is about protecting freedoms, household finances and Black representation. Their urgency matches the national picture, as Black early turnout reportedly surged across the South, with about 160,000 more Black ballots cast through October 29 than at the same point in 2022, amid redistricting fights following the Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais.
