D.L. and the crew weighed in on growing backlash from ranchers after President Trump announced plans to allow up to 300,000 metric tons of imported ground beef into the U.S. tariff-free for 90 days in an effort to lower consumer prices. Ranchers and cattle industry leaders argue the move could hurt domestic producers at a time when the U.S. cattle herd is already at its lowest level in decades and beef prices continue to climb. The show also sparked a lively Question of the Day discussion after a viral video showed a frustrated father taking an ax to his son’s television over unfinished chores. Callers shared personal stories about discipline and consequences, leading to the debate: Was the dad being a good parent or going overboard? D.L. explored whether the dramatic punishment was an example of accountability or a sign that emotions had gotten out of control.  

Music legend Raphael Saadiq joined D.L. and the crew as he reflected on his remarkable career spanning Tony! Toni! Toné!, Lucy Pearl, solo success, and his work as a songwriter and producer for some of the biggest names in music. Saadiq also discussed the creative drive that continues to push him forward, as he remains active with live performances and storytelling shows that celebrate more than three decades in the industry. The show closed with a look at communities still waiting for relief, including Gary, Indiana, where thousands of residents have faced prolonged power outages following severe storms, and Puerto Rico, which continues to face concerns about infrastructure and disaster recovery. Residents and local leaders have been calling for faster assistance and long-term solutions as families struggle to recover from disruptions that have left many without essential services.
