Kicking off with escalating national tensions, today’s Rickey Smiley Morning Show highlights the major shift in federal enforcement as ICE and DHS agents in Minneapolis move to immediate body‑camera requirements after public outrage over two fatal shootings in the city. Officials say the mandate will expand nationwide as funding allows, with both bipartisan support and scrutiny shaping the rollout. Meanwhile, daytime TV gets another shake‑up as Sherri Shepherd’s syndicated talk show is officially canceled after four seasons. Producers emphasize that the decision reflects the changing daytime landscape—not a decline in the show’s performance—and say they are already exploring digital‑platform opportunities for its future.
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump joins the RSMS crew, bringing insight shaped by decades of landmark advocacy. Recently named the Top Black Newsmaker of the 21st Century due to his impact on major civil rights cases—from George Floyd to Breonna Taylor—Crump continues expanding his reach through justice‑oriented initiatives and national conversations about constitutional rights and government overreach. The show closes on a deeply urgent note as the FBI intensifies its search for Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother, Nancy Guthrie, who authorities believe was abducted from her Arizona home. Investigators report forced entry, hundreds of active leads, and an urgent need to locate her due to life‑sustaining medication requirements.
