Sherwin opens up hour 2 talks about how we need to care about what the listeners of 101.7 The Truth care about, makes the comparison on not wanting to see a theater production of Goodfellas. Sherwin talks about the why white people are scared of the immigrates and the migrate population, that their numbers are shrinking. Callers join in to join the conversation. Sherwin gives an update on ICE in Minnesota and makes the case that there are unlawful arrests that are occurring.

In the final hour, Sherwin examines the states Donald Trump carried in the election and reflects on how his knowledge of history makes watching current events more troubling. He argues that Trump is highly manipulable and surrounded by people who rarely tell him “no,” suggesting that figures like Stephen Miller may be driving decisions behind the scenes—raising concerns that someone more dangerous than Trump himself is shaping policy. The discussion heats up when Brian calls in, prompting Sherwin to jokingly revoke his “Black card.” Melisande follows up in the next segment, calling in to respond to Brian’s comments and add her perspective to the conversation. Later, Sherwin lightens the mood by playfully messing with callers trying to win the Gruber Entry of the Day, before returning to politics and breaking down Trump’s first year of a second term. He warns listeners that the federal government is on track for another shutdown on January 30th. The hour wraps with a look at Trump’s approval ratings and a broader question about political power: why major U.S. cities are overwhelmingly run by Democrats, with few—if any—Republicans leading big urban centers.

Today on The Truth with Sherwin Hughes, Sherwin asks Truth Nation if they would participate in an ICE Protest. He talks about the chaos of ICE agents and mass protests happening in Minneapolis, why he thinks this is not a fight for Black Americans, and how we got here in the first place.

Hour 2 centers on a deep comparison between the crack epidemic and the ongoing opioid crisis. Sherwin examines the socioeconomic impacts of both and questions why the differences are often ignored. He briefly pivots to a protest incident where a white woman attempted to use a tragedy to promote an anti-marijuana petition. Later, Sherwin discusses overlooked dangers harming Black communities—such as house fires—and questions why these issues don’t spark the same level of protest. Callers join the discussion, debating drug use and addiction, prompting Sherwin to push back against what he sees as the glorification of heroin. A PSA highlighting the severity of the opioid crisis plays before Sherwin wraps the hour by openly debating whether to continue the show.

Hour 3 begins with Sherwin comparing different shows and hosts, sharing a personal story about realizing how many people knew Dr. Ken during a past event. Lisa calls in to contribute to the conversation. The discussion then turns to the origins of the term “crack babies,” with Al chiming in as expected. Sherwin revisits the opioid crisis versus the crack epidemic, emphasizing that the comparison falls short because the opioid crisis is still ongoing. He points to the Sackler family’s role in fueling the epidemic and notes that they have yet to fully pay the price for the damage done. The show concludes with the drug discussion wrapped up and final sign-off remarks.

Sherwin Hughes is back in the studio. Today he is joined by Effective Communication Coach Denise Thomas (DT) to discuss affirmative action and the impact of the second Trump Administration.

Sherwin Hughes and Denise Thomas talk about the entire spectrum of relationships and roles in relationships.

In the final hour, DT opens with a personal story about a conversation she had with a woman on a plane that sparked a broader discussion around perceived “issues” facing Black women. The conversation leads into listener engagement, with Al and Mahdee calling in to share their perspectives and add depth to the discussion. Sherwin checks in on the YouTube live chat, reacting to audience comments and continuing the dialogue with listeners. Segment three focuses on a YouTube poll asking whether affirmative action should be banned in Wisconsin, with Sherwin breaking down the responses and offering his thoughts. The hour concludes with final reactions and a wrap-up of the show.
