Unveiling the Secrets of the Epstein Files and 9/11 Conspiracies

Community Voice · Thu Aug 27, 2026

Good morning. Welcome to Community Voice. I'm your host, Keith Parris. I want to thank everybody for joining us this morning. Good morning, Clark Kent. How are you, sir? Who you with? Top of the stairs. Right. Brother Rideout, what's happening? Well, Dick and Parris, God bless you.

The Lord has been good to me. All right, y'all, the phone line's open 414-444-5250-414-444-5250. We, uh, still back Thursday, man. Man, this week is gone, man. Yeah. Jesus. And we at the end of August. Already. Yeah. Yikes. What? Okay, thank you, man.

Appreciate you all these camera angles They didn't tell you to do all those

It is a throwback Thursday and Michelle. I'm sorry. I got here early year than I normally do and thank her for being so gracious as she said to let me ruin her program. I Appreciate that. Let's go back. Let's read some of their See read something. It's really nothing less than normal Let's see still it's nothing but a distraction away from where we know this war and the Epstein files. We still talking about Epstein files. Yeah

I mean, I don't know why we stopped talking about it. This dude should be locked up and everybody is dead. No, I'm not talking about him. I'm talking about Trump. I'm talking about Trump should be locked up and everybody that's connected to this case should be locked up. The problem that they really had though, and initially people said that one of the reasons why those files were released during the Biden administration was the number of Democrats.

I mean, but and again, I feel some kind of way because when If we gonna call a spade a spade we got to call it a spade does not be racial No, no, but I'm saying but when the Democrats was in office and you had access to this stuff If you really wanted to release and why didn't you release it then? Well

Obviously the Dems knew what some other folks knew and the Republicans ran on release the f-steam files release the f-steam files And then they come and see that Donald Trump has mentioned thousands of times in the files, right? Oh Now we don't need to release them Okay, but again, it's too size to the spectrum and Democrat Party

Can't get a pass because when you had control and you had the files in your possession Why didn't you release them because it would have been embarrassing? It's gonna be embarrassing either way if the Republicans release them it's gonna be embarrassed the Republicans had not run on it I'm talking you know people are talking about like if I get in I'm gonna release the files Pam Bondi. I'm we should release the files until they realized Donald Trump was in the file. So when people

maybe sometimes, you know, you just leave well enough alone. I mean, now there are people out there, they're the victims of Epstein that require justice. Right. Well, that's the thing about this justice who is going to impact on is not just going to be Republicans, it's going to be Democrats too, powerful people.

And you know, this dude was a money laundered. There are some people who believe that he was an agent for Masaad, which is the Israeli secrets, secrets service, their secret, secret intelligence organization. So there was a lot there. A lot of people got entangled. And, you know, when you are in the midst of it, you never think there's going to be exposure. But the biggest sin is exposure. It's exposure. Put it like this. A lot of seats would have been open.

Yeah, well, a whole lot of seats. Well, they need to go ahead and open up the seats because if you are doing this type of stuff and if you have participated in this stuff that you know is wrong, but you want to cover your sins and point the finger at the other people and you're just as guilty. Yeah. So it works. And it's like, OK, well, if we don't clean it out, let's clean it out all the way. So if he was involved.

You got to go to the weather. Straighten it out. I'm just saying, no, if you was wrong, you was wrong. And regardless of what side you're on, if you was wrong, if you participated in hurting these kids, these young girls, you knew it was wrong, but you thought you was going to get away with it, you need to go down too. So yeah, you might have got by, but you will never get away.

and these people, the whether you were Republican, whether you Democrat, the whether you blue or red or green or yellow, I don't care. If you was involved in this, you need to go down, period. And the weather is going to be an embarrassment to the party. You sinned and did it because you knew it was wrong and what you was doing. Let me do this, man. Speaking of going down.

Kennedy wore me out yesterday. I went down. She wore me out yesterday. Oh, she wore me out. We played two out of three. It was a sweep. She had to move out. She wore me out yesterday. I was down. I think she wore this on Monday. I know she's going to want to play again on Monday because she won. I was talking to my uncle Frankie.

And, uh, I had just retired and we had wheat. You know, we had wheat downstairs in the basement. So, uh, you know, Frankie, I don't know if he had wheat at home too. So, man, that wheat bowling. Oh, he was good. It's fun. He was good. He was wearing me out. Let's see what he didn't realize.

was when he was at school, I'm retired. Oh, so you practice it. Man, did you play the tennis one? Yeah, and I did Tiger Woods. Yeah, that's what I was. And so, man, by the time he came down, he found out what a turkey was at bowling. Because I was worried about, I was worried about, he didn't want to play there. Oh, no. Let's go. Yeah, because he used to be poppy. Let's go down to bowling. Like, no, you don't, but you don't want to play now.

It was like my buddy Fred, man. He really kind of got me into playing tennis. Mr. Rush really had taught me some things. So, you know, Fred would call me, man, let's go play tennis. If we go play tennis and Clark, he'd be wearing me out, dude. I mean, he'd be wearing me out. So after a while, I was kind of like, I'm tired of losing. And so, you know, he called me one day. He said, let's go out. I'll never forget. We went over to Washington Park with the basketball courts now.

now used to be the tennis course. Tennis courses. And dude, I worked up on him. We never played again. Matt, you know what we do? We go down to the lake, to the tennis course. We go down to the lake. And we, you know, we actually use that as exercise because once you play two or three games, you, you know, you and your breath, you're breathing you because of the constant movement. And there's a lot of

like I use that as my workout too. And it's fun, man. You do paddle ball? No, I don't. Pickle ball, I'm sorry. No, pickle ball, no. Hey, I would play ping pong. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Come on. I couldn't, man. That's one guy I could. I used to hate to play with my table tennis. Yeah. I just hate it. I want to hit the ball too hard. Man, my coach used to spike me all the time. Come on, man, quit. Oh, yeah. When you hit it and they get that running start on it. You know what time it is. Carla, welcome to the program.

Good morning. Good morning. This is off topic. It was when you were on the show. It sounded like it was echoing. It's a radio on? No, it's just kind of loud. Okay. You want me to call right back? No, but you could. Okay. It don't sound like she echoing you. She was only echoing on her end. All right. Good morning, Mr. Parris. Good morning, Solis.

So here we go. All right. Carla, welcome to the program. Hi. Good morning. Hello. Good morning. Good morning. I still hear myself. Well, anyway, you and I were talking about the memorial of 9-11. And there's still people there flipping through doing new DNA testing. Right. There was, I don't know what the number was. They could not identify the remains. Yeah. I saw a black community like a couple weeks ago.

Like on a pbs channel something else is like during the weekend and that the way they do something with me I mean it was it was really amazing on how they take an item like part of the building or And they got this type of spray and then they put it and they still try not to identify people so that talent is not even nowhere near close You know, all right, I just kind of tell you good morning as well. Good morning Right realize and and

You know, we're just talking about, um, Sheikh Khalid, uh, Muhammad 25 years ago. That's crazy. That, that, you know, that you would, you would think, but it opened up a door and there's a lot of, there's some conspiracy folks, you know, talk about it as an inside job. Um, I, um, I read a book, I have a book called the bin Laden's and it talks about how, um,

the, first of all, people don't realize that Ben Laden was a engineer. Right. These guys were engineers. And so they, because they tried to bomb it, the World Trade Center, where they actually put the bomb in the garage. It was like 94 or something. Yeah, 94, 95. I'm Bill Clinton. And, but, you know, the, the engineering, the bomb engineering was not enough. So who would have ever thought?

That people figured that and really airplanes are flying bombs when you look at all the fuel So they purposely pick planes that were going to be intercontinental because they would be filled with fuel, right? The fact that you had these guys in here who were the majority then were Saudi Okay, and let me do this on the side on this piece on September 12th 2001

the only plane other than military planes in the air was the plane used to fly to Bin Laden family out of United States. And that's where I was about to go. Yeah, that was the only plane flying other than military aircraft. So you you you ground every flight except for that one. That one. And this is why I was saying conspiracy with a Y.

That this was the inside job because if you automatically Knew it was been Latin Why would you fly his family out of the country instead of interrogate? Well, that's what that's what the 9 11 Commission came out. That's why you have not received That's why we have not seen the 9 11 report the 9 11 report people reporting that it was clearly Saudi involved

Where it was Saudi shakes, you know religious leaders who were selling money to bed a lot, right? And bin Laden was rich. He came from a rich family, right? I think his folks were Yemeni and then they moved to Saudi Arabia They did a lot of building in Saudi Arabia But right now the victims families want to sue the Saudi government because the Saudi government was complicit

But because cash rules, everything around me and oil, petrodollars, they kind of look the other way. Wasn't it interesting that George Bush wanted to go into Iraq, which had nothing to do with 9-11, right? Right, right. So wasn't that because somebody tried to kill his daddy? He said his daddy was threatened, but who hadn't threatened his daddy? If you were president, that's the one thing that happens, you know, that you're going to get threats.

against the president of the United States. I mean, one of the reasons why when Trump flew over with that Kuwaiti airplane and they found out that a surface to air missile could take the plane out because the plane had not been equipped with what they call their defensive measures to be able to, you know, knock down those missiles or divert the missile or do whatever they need to do. But those shoulder missiles

You know, and so that's why then and then he can even get on the on the other Air Force one. They put him on another play, right? So presidents get threats all the time. Obama threats all the time. Now, that was the case where supposedly George Bush was avenging the fact that that Saddam Hussein had threatened his dad. Yeah, you know, no, it was oil. And then. OK, so man, because there's a lot here. So you you get to this, they go into Iraq.

Iraq and then they're in Afghanistan. Okay. Who was making money? Halliburton. How was Halliburton hooked up with that administration? Dick Cheney. So even when people went in this whole war piece, who's making money from the war right now? Petrol companies, petroleum companies are making money hand over fist. Thank you at your civic moment. If you've been listening, she explains,

Why, you know, we produce more oil, right? Than any other country in the world. Yet the prices are still high because they talk about how oil is refined and what it would cost to upgrade those refineries to be able to do so. America ships this oil out. And then oil prices are set by the global market. So didn't he have, now I remember when he came in office two years ago,

He had this big meeting with all of the CEOs of gas companies. He had them all. For Venezuela. It was for Venezuela. Right. So he had them all. Now I believe again that all of this that's happening, it was strategically set up. Well, the big oil companies didn't want to go back into Venezuela because they had made investments. Right.

uh when madura was madura not the guy before madura took over they nationalized it so they lost all this equipment all this money so they they were very reluctant right to want to go back into uh venezuela but you know it all gets back to follow the money the the amount of money look we looked the other way when

the current leader of Saudi Arabia had a Saudi journalist killed. I mean, they got the tape recorder cutting this dude up, and we looked the other way. So, and then when they talk about the human rights violations that happened in Saudi Arabia, so when you hear this, there's a lot of hypocrisy, obviously, but America is always operating in what is its best economic interest, right? So,

Yeah, so we're coming up on the 25th anniversary. I wonder what the discussion is gonna look like is ironic They're gonna have this show trial, you know where you you you get but there was a lot going on You know like a lot of people in this country are here illegally because they overstayed visas Well, that's what these guys did the hijackers did they overstayed their visas. Why weren't they picked up? Let's see

Yeah, that's that we don't know half the stuff that this government is involved in that that's been a long time Look when I was coming along in the 60s as a kid There were questions about the CIA and some of the Experiments they did on American citizens. That's why the CIA cannot operate Because of the church committee they can no longer operate. They weren't ever supposed to be able to operate in the United States, right? so there's a

When you look at it and you look at government and the U.S. government and the things that they have or things that they have done, I thought it was kind of fascinating that you were hearing this thing about how Trump is weaponizing the Justice Department. So did Johnson, so did Nixon, right? When they went after anti-war protesters, when they went after Black militants,

They used the Justice Department to go after these folks. Everybody remember, you may or may not, the Chicago 7 trial with Abby Hoffman and these other guys who were doing the Democratic National Convention in 1968, they were charged with creating a riot when in effect it was the Chicago police who created that riot, not the protesters. And so the idea that

So, when I hear people talking about weaponization of the Justice Department, now, look, Trump has been making the argument that, oh, they weaponize this against me. Here's the problem. You did what it was that you were charged with. Oh, he did it. Right? And had you not been reelected, you would have gone to prison. And that's one of the reasons why people say he ran to be president now.

Everybody talks about that meeting that Hakeem Jeffries had with Kushner. The reason why is there's a pretty good chance that the Dems are going to take the House. There's a real good chance. That happens, you know, that just happens generally when you have the first midterm election after the national election of a president, that president loses seats in the House.

And in spite of the gerrymandering that Republicans why would the Republicans scrambling to do this gerrymandering because they know that at this point the math is not in its favor and let me say this When we get back, let's talk about this this recent Marquette law school poll and remember I told you all yesterday You need to take it with a grain of salt and we'll kind of maybe get it unpack a little bit of that

Yeah, we'll do that when we get back. Call our CU. You're listening to Community Voice, and it's also Throwback Thursday. When I came in, Carmen said, you had that collegiate look today. I said, yeah, Kanye West College dropout. You're listening to Community Voice. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Hi, y'all. We here with Mr. Debo.

I got a question for you, man. What's up, man? What's your top five go-to blues songs? Hmm. Well, I know how to party, you know, make the party move. So I would certainly start out with some male waiters with hole in the wall. That would be my number one. I go to number two with King George and say, girl, you got it. And then, uh, nah, just do Willie Clayton. It ain't fast, but it's one of them that get you going, of course. Lose my cool would be number three for me. Number four, Love of Mine by Buddy Ace.

And the number five, it ain't no party by Willie C. Those would be my top five. All right, y'all, we here with DJ Clark Kent. Who you with? You fool. And I got a question for you, man. What's up, bro? What's your top five go to blue songs? My top five go to blue. So it would be Obie Buchanan. I'm about face down to Mika Joquiel, grown man, reaching King George.

And then we got hate on me by Frank Johnson, which is one of my good ones. Someone else is stepping in by ZZ Hill and Mr. Sexy Man by Nellie Tiger Travis. Now, who you with?

We have been in business here for 14 years. I believe the rivers are the cleanest they've ever been. We get lots of people on our rivers and canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards. People are happy to be here and it's growing every year. We love our partnership with Violia. They help the kayak company grow. I definitely don't think we would be here without Violia and MMSD. Clean water is essential.

When we wanted to expand access for folks in need of bikes, we turned to Viola. The result of the new Viola EcoPass program that has dramatically increased access to our bike share system for folks all throughout our community. Connecting students to schools, people looking for work with employers, the community with parks. Thanks to our partnership with Viola, Bubbler Bikes is serving more people than ever before. Those are Milwaukee values.

I'm Jim Playset. I'm the executive director of the Historic Third Ward Association and also a resident of the Historic Third Ward. Somebody's got to manage this, right, and care for our waterways and care for the treatment of our waterways. We couldn't do it without MMSD and Veolia. They've just been a great partner as long as I've known them. It's just been an amazing recovery for this body of water. MMSD and Veolia have been a big part of getting that cleaned and enjoyable for all of us.

Keith Parris. All right, welcome back. Carla, we thank you for your patience. Welcome to the program. Good morning. First thing I would like to say is good morning. Good morning. But I don't know why we, why we tripping. Go on and release that. Go on and release the files. Y'all raising all this hair like they saw about. But I was like, who they saw? I mean...

We know y'all best when we kiss, we know waiters on the rise, these pluralities. I don't know how many eggs you think you're going to get from a chicken from a four mattress. I'm going to release them. Y'all fighting y'all want to keep kidding marriage? You know down in Tennessee what a 27 year old woman married a 10 year old. What you think coming from that 10 year old?

And then they sit here and want to talk about old conservative views and morals. Your cross contaminating the gene pool. That's why the kid is coming out retarded. How your day going? What you want to eat? Well, you know that Lord said, you know they asked this woman, Mr. Parris, what would you do if this 12 year old was raped by her daddy? And this is where it gets lynched.

Don't we have a situation here though? A prominent person who has just been brought up charges in terms of being inappropriate with their kids. But the girl got pregnant by her daddy and the lady said I would have told the 12 year old that baby was put there by God. Why would you tell a 12 year old who should be focused on being a young child?

that her innocence was put there by her daddy who wanted to give her one dabble and pedophilia and bestiality that the baby was put there by God. That's contaminating the jaw. That's contaminating the blow pool. She could have said, well, he was high on bad crack and cocaine. And see, this is why they all messed up. That Elvis Presley, Tennessee, something that I thought he made about the girl dancing around in a flower dress at nine years old.

They are ass stepped in the head. And then they're messing with the animals that Christopher Columbus stuff. That's why me and God have got to wear tannins because they bringing all these damn diseases over here. You used to be, I'm just saying, what you going to get from a dog? You ain't even cleaning out the booty packs yet, but you trying to go inside a dog. What you going to get from a horse? Okay, all right, we got some appreciation.

Boy that beard off tracks real quickly, didn't it? Let's go. Let's say you never know there is such a thing called radon There's more radon moving around now and never before it's there's talking about a global warming. Yeah Yeah, people don't think climate change is real. It is real and a lot of it goes back to Plastics, right? Yeah, a lot of and what is plastic made from petroleum? Call a welcome to the program

I don't know if I've missed something. I just really, because I would, I would, Janane brought up a question about why were the Epstein files released under Biden's rule? And I kind of heard, you know, like Fox News is misleading people. And some of the reading that I did on that, if I'm correct,

It was still under investigation. There was a lot of unverified allegations and things of that nature. And the Biden administration, unlike what we have now, where Trump is using his DOJ to weaponize going after certain individuals.

on the Biden and Harris term, they kind of wanted to separate themselves and not get involved in that. I don't know if that has something to do with it. And then after, there was a bipartisan, I guess the FC Files Transparency Act where, you know, it prepared the government to release the files after, you know, there was. That just happened last year though. Right. But now Trump is,

blocking to have those files released, is that correct? Yeah, why do you think that is? Of course. Yeah, I was just trying to answer Jermaine's question about why wasn't the files released during values term. It was kind of still ongoing investigation. So maybe, you know, keep an independence from the DOJ and the executive branch.

Part of me is just thinking that it was also they kind of knew if they go in and do product There were some people that appeared in those files, right? That it would have been damaging and so I think that that was Kind of and Republicans may be feeling Oh, they'll never release them and they didn't realize they gender people because people get you know We're attracted. I'm gonna use a word today. It's Thursday Puritan things, right? So if sex is involved with it, we really want to know about it, right?

And so I think that that was they were running on that showing how the government wasn't responding. And then you come to find out what they didn't realize was they agenda people's interest in it. And so a lot of people who supported Donald Trump want to see those files released and not just released the files because that's one part of it. The other part of it is justice for the victims.

That's the piece of it that whether we release the files or not, the question is, what is DOJ doing to pursue justice? You know, you sit up here going after people for allegedly vandalizing the reflection pool. You're going after people who are alleged enemies of Donald Trump. And remember, he ran in this whole thing, and this is the amazing thing about, I don't know what this is, this is group hypnosis or what.

where, OK, they're going after me. Well, here's the problem. You did it. Exactly. You know what they're going after you for? They got evidence that you took files that you shouldn't have had. And when the when the National Archives said, you know, you need to return these files, then they show pictures. And then the dude who was trying to hide the files, he get all caught up in it. So this dude.

I mean, you know, I don't care who's in there. If there's, you know, they were doing to the young, young women, you know, it doesn't matter. We probably, whatever Jonathan cares about that, they need to go down. I mean, that was just disgusting, you know. And that's all I wanted to say. I just, I think there was, their, their, their hands were tied in the beginning, maybe, but not, not very untied, but they still

won't, you know, holding on to it. You know why, you know, we all know why, but, you know, that's just the way it is. That's, that's politics for you. Okay. Thanks for taking my call. Thank you. 414-444-525-0. 414-444-525-0. Um, I see North and South had put in, um, they had put in, and thank you, Brian. Brian Bradin says you can go to a website called 911truth.org and, um,

Obviously, there's some people there out. I have to pull it up and take a look at it because it is. Oh, man. And the fact. This dude. I mean, you know, first of all, he he he's voted the worst president ever. And we've had some bad ones, right? But not only is the dude awful, you know, he's also corrupt.

And, you know, his family is ripping folks off. And how do you do a settlement where, you know what? Because someone had released his IRS, his tax forms that then they make a claim against the government. He's basically suing himself because he is the government. And then part of that was that.

That victim fund that they would have for people who were wrong wrongfully either convicted or or wrongfully prosecuted by the Justice Department i.e. these folks who were part of January 6 and then You have things where no one in the bush and bush in the trump family and or organizations You can't go back and look at their tax reform see if they were cheating on their taxes And he wants all that in writing

And thank God for the judge who's going like, hey, this dog ain't going to hunt. This stinks. But the fact that you feel you can do that, and you have Congress who is sitting on their hands. So in a lot of ways, chickens are going to come home to roost.

And so for all these Congress folks, congressmen, congresswomen who just lined up with him and we ain't gonna say nothing about him and folks who said negative things about him now getting back because they're so fearful how the base is gonna put their splits in the base right now. And there's people who were on board in 2024 who are not on board now. I think people are beginning to realize that, oh, when you was talking about them, you didn't think it ever hit me and now it's hit me.

Okay, you know when you sit up and talk about folks who Yeah, we're gonna do this big beautiful bill and you'll see a tax cut at the same time You got to pay for those tax cuts now what you what's very difficult for Congress to do is going and try to really cut deeply into these programs that people benefit from right and there's this whole thing about when you give Americans benefits it's hard to take them back So what do they do?

with a lot of the changes to health care, they don't kick in until 2027. So they wouldn't be part of the midterm. That was going to be tough enough. But now when you're looking at people and this whole thing about affordability and Trump can come out and say, oh, it's a hoax.

It's not real. I just went and put gas in the car every time I go and put gas in the car truck I realized that one of the reasons why the gas prices is so high is that this dude has us involved with a war that we're not winning by the way We got us involved with a war and now you know I Always say you know when when when Jesus is on the cross the first thing Jesus said was Forgive them for they know not what they do, right?

What I believe Jesus was saying was that people don't understand in this moment you're doing this But the consequences of your actions now you don't even realize how bad they're gonna be all those folks who voted for Donald Trump Right, and now you know because his nature is just his nature and he don't care about you Okay, now chickens are coming home the reason you realize. Oh, okay. Now there's still people in identity politics, right?

Which kind of gets us to a great segue into the recent Marquette Law School poll and I remember yesterday I said before the poll was released You need to take these polls with a grain of salt and I also mentioned yesterday something called the Bradley Wilder effect where people will lie to posters especially when they're black candidates or Latino candidates involved because they don't want to appear to be racist

So they're a lot to the posters. Oh, yeah, I'll vote for Keith Paris But then when you actually get into the boating booth, you know true nature shows up and it's gonna be hard now Wisconsin is a purple state That's important I was just looking at the the right now the split is Let's see. He is at 49 44

for Likely voters, but then when his registered voters is 44% is for both of them and then I think there's about 17% that's undecided Something you don't see a lot of them Wisconsin so-called independent voters right most people have chose chosen aside and so When you look at that poll and and I said it yesterday, I'll say it again today the

The Crowley campaign, you can't look at the polls. You know, you just have to run like you have five points behind because like I said, anything can happen. This is going to probably turn out to be one. It's going to be a turnout election, right? And it could be a very, very narrowly decided election. So if people are sitting here and, um,

And they're kind of going like, oh, he's ahead in the polls. And I go, yeah, that's an indicator. But if I'm with the Crowley campaign, I'm running like we're behind. Because they very well could be, depending on what people are doing and what they're saying to posters. I need to take a break. Hey, you're listening to Community Voice Callers. I see you. I'm going to grab you right after the break. We'll be right back.

We have been in business here for 14 years. I believe the rivers are the cleanest they've ever been. We get lots of people on our rivers and canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards. People are happy to be here and it's growing every year. We love our partnership with Veolia. They help the kayak company grow. I definitely don't think we would be here without Veolia and MMSD.

All right, welcome back. Caller, welcome to the program. Good morning. Hello. Hey, how are you? Right. Hey, speaking about the 9-11. Excuse me. Speaking about the 9-11. I don't like the lot of five communities about it all, but probably the best one I would say for anybody to look at is one called, it's pretty old, but it's called the new Pearl Harbor.

It's pretty wrong. So, but they got to split up in the sixth or whatever. So, what I like about it is they ain't really trying to convince you one way or the other. It's what happened, but it's so many coincidences or it's so much nonsense that happened either that day or the couple days before it. So, all I know is what they told us happened. I don't know what happened, but I know what they told us happened. That's not what happened.

I can't say what they did, but I know what they're telling me they need. And then it's this other, this lady's doctor. So why do you think that, that what they're telling us, what did you see that day? You say like, did I see the plane hit the building? Yeah. Oh yeah, I remember what I was doing when I saw it. Okay. So this is what I'm saying here is cause we're actually watching this happen.

in real time. Oh no, I'm not saying the planes didn't hit the bill though, but for them it looked like, how you see it? Why would they fly a bin Laden family out the country? Or how about September 10th, down at World Steel said that the Pentagon couldn't find 10 trillion dollars? Look at that. Okay, alright. But what I'm saying is, okay, so there's so many

Or the day of 9-11, why would they run a war game? So being when they said the plan was hijacked, they thought it was fake because they was running war games at the same time. I don't, I don't, I don't read that piece. I don't remember what I do remember was that there was an, was an issue with getting the planes up to intercept the, the planes that were flying in the building, right?

There's no way that they were running, they were running war guys. So this what I'm saying about this is about the women. They're not trying to sway your opinion when they're the other. They just tell you all the, these are all facts just laid out. That's why I said, I don't know what happened, but or when the stuff happened, they couldn't, whoever was like, it wasn't a general, but it was like some type of person. They couldn't get in touch with this person. Then the person under him, so just so happened to call it off that day. And like, is this so, is this so many?

Do you remember that day because I'm looking outside right now that day Was just like the day we're looking at right now when the cloud in the sky That that I remember I remember so specifically because I got up cut on the TV

You know, it was like live, it was like the first building, so we didn't see the plane hit the first building, it just was like smoking and it was on the moon. And they wouldn't see what happened. I called my auntie that stayed on the east coast to ask her what happened. She was like, oh, no, I don't know. She was like, are you watching it live? It was like, man, is that a plane? Man, is this going to hit the building? Right. Right. And then she's like, all right, they were watching it live. I was downstairs pressing a shirt.

And Rhonda said ooh when Rhonda does a ooh there's something she saw and she said oh a plane flew into the World Trade Center I said oh, okay, so I turned the TV on had on CNN and then I'm sitting there watching the second plane live fly into the building and I'm thinking And then I was I was reading there was an article they did I can never pronounce the word on it's called Merck metal metallurgic And the whole idea

Remember I said those planes were filled to the brimwood fuel because they were intercontinental flights No, that's not true the heat that was generated and And they talk about in this article the heat that it was close to two to three thousand degrees That heat was such that it was able to melt steel and then once you were able to get in and melt still plus the fuel was running down the elevator shafts

So it was just like it created this whole thing, internal heat. So the level of heat, because these folks knew what they were doing when they said, look, it's a bomb. You know, it's like when you, like a hand grenade, most people think people die from the explosion from the hand grenade. That's not true. They died from the scrap. No. So they were able to go in and figure this out in such a way. The first time they tried to bomb the building, remember they bombed it in the basement.

But it was so fortified, you would almost need a nuclear device to bring it down from the basement. But to fly a plane into the building, right? And then the heat that's generated from the fire, and that's what it was. And so then structurally, the buildings could not stand, and that's why they ended up falling. Now that's- So look, not- So look, not the whole thing. Two more things I'll tell you to look at. Okay. Building number six. Right. If you could Google images of building number six, right?

It looked like somebody took an ice cream scoop where I scooped the top of it. But again, if there's a lady, Dr. Judy Wood, she's got like a whole presentation about why did these builders that didn't even build a number, so I did build a number seven for the same way and then didn't get hit. Right. OK. Appreciate you, man. Call and welcome to the program. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning.

One of the things I wanted to just mention is that we're not perfect. Tyrone, I can't, man, I can't hear you. I don't understand how what they did to the guys. Do you have us on speaker because you're sounding, we're not really hearing you clearly. Tyrone, we can't hear you, man.

We can't hear you Okay, you can call back call the one to the probe couldn't hear him. So it's not like I'm cutting about just couldn't hear him call the welcome to the program You know They keep bringing up all this other stuff the black

or it's really going on because if they're thinking about staying down in the community center, what does Trump really have going on with that bunker that he's trying to, because it's something much more sinister to what he's doing to that White House, you know, changing, rearranging, the pooling, all that other crap. But anyway, that's my conspiracy thought for the morning. All right, appreciate you. Caller, welcome to the program. Good morning. Good morning.

What's up my brother? How you doing there? I'm good. Oh man. What's happening? All right. Hey, man, you can imagine that president Can you imagine how many people he don't believe in this life because he's a straight up bully? He's nine billion in America. It's crazy man They say when you when you go to Mar-a-Lago, I got a friend who went down there for a golf game He's a Republican whatever He said you got it when he walked in the room if you don't stand up and clap they kind of ask you to leave Do it is something man

Peace, brothers. All right, I appreciate that. And when Solis was talking about North Korea as that whole dear leader, you know, they show his cabinet meetings and so they so busy kissing his ass in the cabinet meetings that, you know, you get to and then you find out that's about all they can do. That's the only thing they can bring to the table. Because when you look at the competency level of this cabinet,

You know, you just, you're beginning to see, you know, the collateral damage that they're doing. Pete Hesse should never have been Secretary of Defense, right? I mean, were you doing war posturing? So anytime, and that's one of the things, you know, I was telling you all about the different war colleges. You have the military academies.

There is and there's a book out there called the art of war, right? But there's a art There's a science that goes into it and you can sit up and believe that you have overwhelming power and this is what it is But then it's something that Colin Powell said when they were talking about going into Iraq He said remember if you break it you own it, right?

So you go into Iraq, you were in there for almost 10 years. You're going to Afghanistan. We're in there for 20 years because you just can't just go in and do it and bomb. This is not Venezuela. And so when people were able to go in and convince them, look what we were able to do in Venezuela, you're not able to do that with Iran. And here you underestimated these folks, your racism. You underestimate them. And what they did was some strategic things. And then they probably found out, and I don't know accidentally,

You know, we can control the shipping traffic and the impact it will have on the global economy. You got that and then you got Trump's tariffs, right? You know, so it wasn't thought out. These are not serious people, but the problem is their their unseriousness has negative impact on the American people.

You're listening to Community Voice 4144445250. 4144445250. Quick break and we'll be right back. We have been in business here for 14 years. I believe the rivers are the cleanest they've ever been. We get lots of people on our rivers and canoes, kayaks, stand up paddle boards.

People are happy to be here and it's growing every year. We love our partnership with Veolia. They help the kayak company grow. I definitely don't think we would be here without Veolia and MMSD. Clean water is essential. When we wanted to expand access for folks in need of bikes, we turned to Veolia.

The result, the new Violia EcoPass program that has dramatically increased access to our bike share system for folks all throughout our community. Connecting students to schools, people looking for work with employers, the community with parks. Thanks to our partnership with Violia, Bubbler Bikes is serving more people than ever before. Those are Milwaukee values.

I'm Jim Playset. I'm the executive director of the Historic Third Ward Association and also a resident of the Historic Third Ward. Somebody's got to manage this, right, and care for our waterways and care for the treatment of our waterways. We couldn't do it without MMSD and Veolia. They've just been a great partner as long as I've known them. It's just been an amazing recovery for this body of water. MMSD and Veolia have been a big part of getting that clean and enjoyable for all of us.

your host, Keith Parris. All right, welcome back to Community Voice. Have you all ever been to the garage? Yes. The garage. Brady Street. Yep. Yeah, they out of order. Okay. The garage, which is now, you've been to TikTok? No, I haven't been there. TikTok is really grateful. I heard about it. Garage has good food. Yeah.

The garage a Milwaukee bar responded to backlash Tuesday after a no playlist of black rap artists posted at the bars DJ booth went viral online And let me just I'm taking this from Fox six What is the garage no playlist? What we know and now via video of the no playlist was posted on tiktok sunday august 23rd screenshots of that video

have circulated further on social media elsewhere online, including Google reviews. The list includes more than three dozen Black hip-hop artists, well-known names like Glorilla, Lil Wayne, Travis Scott, as well as no Milwaukee rap and bold letters at the bottom. Sexy Red, who was named at the top of the list, respond on X with it. Lisa, I know I'm number one. The video has more than 850,000 views as of Tuesday morning, along with tens of thousands.

of reactions, thousands of comments and shares the account that posted just has just over 200 followers. What we don't know, the initial TikTok post does not identify where the no-play list was put up, but instead include Brady Street, MKE as a tag. The garage and the adjoining bar, hi-hat, I want to call it the TikTok, hi-hat lounge at the Northwest corner of Brady and Arlington on Milwaukee's Lower East Side.

comments on TikTok video identified the list as being at the garage and the bar itself has since responded. Here's a reaction from people who have, what they're saying, Ishmael Ishdar Ali, the local artist who posted the video said that no playlist screams discrimination. It definitely felt like we're too welcome, you know? He said, we can have fun, spend our money, but when it comes to our music and our culture, things are trying to, things we are trying to bring, they're,

they have not accepted fully. Ali said the bull print at the bottom of the list prohibiting local artists was to kick her. No Milwaukee rap in Milwaukee. Like, come on, guys, but I'm a rapper in here. He said, I feel like minorities are people black and brown are saying we don't want that there. Dig deeper. The list sparked public backlash online, including in social media comments and on Google reviews. The bar has an overall rating of more than four stars as of Tuesday morning.

in the time since the list was posted on tiktok though the bar has received more than a dozen one or two star reviews while not all reviews include the comments or had comments that had made no mention of music some did do not go to the bar they posted a list about 20 30 black people and said they can't play their music we are done supporting this business in the hope we can make this business bankrupt one reviewer wrote the bar also received a smattering of five star reviews some of which

reference music at the bar since the list went viral, very inclusive with great music one person wrote. The other side, the garage posted a response on its Instagram page last Monday night saying the goal was to avoid music that referenced violence but acknowledging the list of specific artists was the wrong approach. We're very proud of our diverse patron mix and our staff and we're very upset to learn of this situation. We have spoken to the employee who issued the list, which is not approved by ownership and stressed why it was not acceptable.

The intention was to eliminate music with lyrics that reference violence or guns, create a more relaxed vibe at the establishment, but a list of artists were certainly the wrong approach to statement read. We've always supported the diversity of Brady Street and will continue to do so. Regret that this presents us in any other light. Ownership also said is unaware of the text sent by employees, local DJ saying failure to comply.

Failure to comply With the list would result in a loss of gigs the bar is supposed to open at 3 p.m. On Tuesdays But was locked and not open for business comments on the bar's response was turned off however previous post on the garages Instagram page had been flooded the comments many of them which reference race and music critical of the bar over the past few days so again

The High Hat, which was, the High Hat has very interesting history. The High Hat, many, many years ago, that location was a store. And the guy went in and they did some work and they end up taking the floor out. And so dudes said, you know what, just leave it open. So when you actually go in, there's a upper level would be the first floor ground level, but then you actually go down and what is the basement, right?

And then they open up the garage a few years after that. Like I said, great food there. Hi-hat had great fish fry. I loved that fish fry. But it brings up another question. It brings up another question. Now, I don't know what demographic they're trying to reach there on Brady Street. But I'm going to tell you, the music of the venue kind of sets the tone to what happens and who's attracted to that venue. Carla, welcome to the program.

Good morning. Hey, good morning. Can't hear you, Meeks. The music sets the tone for the, for the venue, man. That's just like me throwing an event and I got a young DJ that's getting plenty of action. He got hair banging music going on. He banged these people's head all the way up until, especially young folk, all the way up into closing time. They leaving out with that energy, man.

You got to have fights, car accidents, all kind of crazy stuff because you're leaving them with that energy. You're leaving them out the door with that energy. The DJ is the major, he's the main deal when you fool around in a club. He handles the vibe, man. A professional knows how to handle the vibe. And by the way, bankrupting that business.

Them people don't really want you down there in no way. So you ain't gonna hurt them, man. The people that's coming through there spending money, they ain't gonna miss no Negroes going down into the alley or whatever you call the place, whatever you call it, the garage. So they're not gonna miss that money. The hi-hat, not a fact, what's his name? The hi-hat. He had a hi-hat over on Beliche three years ago, right on 35th and Beliche. Remember the hi-hat was right there? Yeah. Yeah.

So anyways, man, I just thought I would throw that in. You ain't gonna bank with that. They really don't want you down there, man. I mean, we are, and I'm not gonna do my people, man. You know what's going on here. We have people that are operating on a control that makes things look pretty bad for us, man. So I mean, they don't want that. If I had a club, I would play blues and jazz.

And then, you know, on certain nights, I would probably tell my DJ, sneak some of that mess in. But I wouldn't be, I would never, ever have them people, have them people banging their heads off. Now we did a thing and it was 35 and up. Anybody under 35 had to be accommodated by a parent or a guardian. If you're under 35, you're accommodated by a parent. I'm grown grown at 35. I look up here bringing my mother.

So I can get in there. That was that was that was the detour. Oh, you don't know. So that that was the that that was the requirement. 35 and up May. If you if you if you under 35 you got to be accommodated by a parent or a guardian. I just you know and there's a part of me again that that is not you know I don't kick it there. But you know I would

I agree with you, and I know that black people, and I'm trying not to be pejorative, and I'm trying not to be stereotypical, right? But I think you hit it on the head when you first call. The music sets the tone of what type of crowd is going to be attracted, right, to that particular bar. Now, we can sit up here and talk, and you talk about head banging music, right? So if you have a bar that's doing punk,

You know, and I don't know if punk is even still a thing in terms of I'm listening to punk, but I'm just saying it attracts people and I just I mean, you know and we know what's happening and that's that's that's And again, I'm trying not to be stereotypical But if you looking at some of the instances You know, that's why it's so difficult for and I'm gonna say clubs not so much bars where people are regulars because

It begins to attract. The music does attract a certain demographic of people. And with that demographic of people comes a, could become certain behaviors. What you have to realize too when it comes down to Milwaukee artists, what if they beefing with somebody else? You understand? If they beefing, then it brings the beef. See, you can have this tracks.

from other artists around the state. But if you got, if you beefing with somebody and they play in that particular music, then guess what happens, man? Things jump off. Man, that's true. That's true. That's true. No, I see the point he's making. No, no, no, hold on. Hold on right now. The point he's making is that some people take this drama that ain't everybody, but some people take the drama.

into public spaces that impact other people. And then if part of the attraction is like Water Street, part of the attraction is anytime you tell people no, they want to do yes. And so you say like, you know, because I don't understand, like I'll give you another example. What happened at State Fair? One of the reasons why you no longer have a midway at Summerfest was remember back in the day the midway was free.

Right? Brothers, listen, listen, the summer fest was where we went. No black people even went to the state fair. You, you went to the state fair. You do about three, three or four black people in that whole fair. Black people never went to the state fair. I'm telling you though, anytime you do something like a free midway, one of the reasons why Greek Fest is now in Waukesha for many years, they had that midway there, right? When they were 90 or swan.

right they had the midway but what attracts people to the midway is it's inexpensive it's going to attract kids right you know 80-year-olds ain't riding roller coasters so then there's a problem and unfortunately there's a body of work that supports hey maybe we so summerfest was like you know what did not pay it even to get into summerfest because it kind of had an off the grounds it wasn't part of the country's work the summerfest was it was up was was an offshoot of

I'm talking about the midways. I'm talking about for free or relatively cheap. Young people don't have the same disposable income that adults have. If you sit up here trying to open up a club, they directed at our age group. That club is open up for people between 18 and 35 because 18 and 35 years is still drinking. They're still partying. They party at a higher level than people who are in their 40s and 50s.

But here's the problem with that. Then you bring in all the elements, right? You know, like, like you, so it's, it's, and I don't, and it ain't because we're black, but I'm just saying that it does appear to be like, if you just go into a bar to chill. Is it because of the culture? I don't know if it's because of the culture. I just think that. No, no, no, no, no, we got to narrow it down to something. You know what? I don't know if you've ever read or saw the movie Founder.

which is about Ray Crock and the McDonnell brothers out in San Diego. Now this is back in the 50s. They realized that because, and I didn't realize this back in the day, they had a jukebox and they had a cigarette machine, right? And so it would attract young people. Now they have to deal with the problems of young people congregating, not necessarily spending money, but congregating there and everything that goes along. Now this is in white San Diego.

So I'm just saying that when you, when you, if you're out kind of trying to cater to 18 to 35 year olds, that's, there's a reason why none of these clubs were survived for a long time because of the problems that 18, and it ain't just in black communities. It's the problem that people have because these folks are still minds and not form. People come in, the attention, when you look at a lot of behavior, these young folks, it's attention man.

You know, like that little TikTok, Instagram posting, all those things. So part of me was going, if I just wanted to go and chill at the garage, I'm sitting up and going like, why are you playing trap music? But there's people there who feel like, and the louder the better, that they're at a party. Some of us just don't think that that's a party. I don't know. You talked about hard rock music. Hard rock music and rap music are twin brothers.

Let there be no uncertainty that they are in opposition of each other. One promotes violence to another human being, and the other one promotes self violence. All you have to do is look at some of the rock videos. They dizzy, dizzy, dizzy on a building. Suicidal self, self destruction and rap promotes violence to another human being. Then when it comes down to the Epstein files, everybody that was on the Epstein file was not pedophilia.

I mean, not involved with pedophilia. The man had whatever you wanted on that island. Now, you do know that they're looking at what's going on under the island now. They're saying that there was a submarine. They said that there's a submarine base or something that they had under there. So, you know, it's a lot of stuff going on. You've got everything right. You know, so, I mean, just without a loan, why was it a submarine?

substation or something under there. They figured it out now. But anyway, man, I don't know any facts on that. That's just something that I heard of. And I'm really trying to find your time. I'm looking through it a little bit in more depth. But the man had everything. He wasn't just kids, man. The man, just like when we was kids, we used to go fishing over there at Lake Geneva. Remember the Playboy Lions was out there, the grown folks put us out there on the fishing bank.

and all the players be hanging out around, you know, where he first started at in late Geneva. Did we be fishing for blue gills and croppies at night in the grown folks over there? What is that? What does that do where we talk about? At the Playboy Club. So, hey, listen, all of that stuff, man. You know, hey, listen, let me get out of here, man. I appreciate you. I appreciate you. I don't know what that had to do with, OK. No, I mean, I think, remember, what is the spot out in the Golden Nest?

They had to put a sign up if you smell like we You know, they're not gonna allow you to come in And they were black folks arguing. Oh, this is culture and this is discrimination Please Nobody want to smell yo we that that you in a public space with other folks I just get so frustrated with selfish as people so who believe that they're the only people in the world

If everything and everybody evolves around them, that is not, that's crazy. See, but that's two sides to that thought. And I do understand what you're saying, because again, that side is valid. However, the reason why people equal that to, you know, they put that to being black peoples.

go to is because that's the stereotype around black people. Because when you think of we, you think of black people. I know. Well, no, no, but I'm saying the majority of the No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

You smell it like weed. We don't want that in there, which again, I'm not pushing back because I do understand that. But what about the people coming in that just stood right outside of the door and smoke the nasty marble or smoke the nasty cigarette? You still got that nasty smell on you. But they don't say nothing about that because in reality, when you look at cigarette smoking from the people that's come from the street is equal to white people compared to weed that's equal to black people.

So that's why people are pushing back. Black people don't smoke new ports. But what I'm saying is coming in smelling like they smoke new ports. But Keith, come on, man. You're not green, man. You know that when you have a situation like that. Yes, I am. When you have a situation like that, weed and cigarettes. You know what? Black people are more. My buddy pointed this out to me. Baby, 75% are higher of the staff.

in the Department of Health and Human Services in our division, we're black. So when you talk about disciplining, of course the majority of people being disciplined is black, but that's in proportion to the population. If you are, and I'm gonna try to be careful on this. If the only people coming in there smelling like weed, if the only people.

That is not discriminatory. It just so happens that some people who just happen to be black Come in the joint smelling like weed like if how do we already and then to put it on us like we're ready to dust dust normal No, that ain't normal. Yeah, but hold on. I do have to say this now in my street days What would happen?

You would hang out you would get up in the morning do whatever you gonna do. You will smoke weed You would go get breakfast. That was the dope man's routine. Okay, so But what would happen is you will see majority of black people That was smoke weed and go get something to eat because of course after you smoke that you get the munchies And white people hold on weed smokers get it that is true But what you would see is majority of black

which then again turned the stereotype towards us. So that's why it's so many. Maybe in that restaurant. Okay. But restaurants where white people frequent, people got high, got the munchies, and they went there too. Yeah, but you don't see the signs saying, okay, we don't want that in here. You don't see that. Well, first of all, because we need to know that in the environment. This is in our environment. Let me ask this question. It hit me. Okay, I got one more minute. It hit me.

If you came in to first Baptist, Milwaukee, smelling like weed, and then people would put a sign up because, well, probably wouldn't we want you to come as you are, right? I'm saying that people would go because I don't want, one of the reasons why we don't smoke indoors anymore was because of the complaints of non-smokers being exposed to the smoke. Right, so, okay. So if it's complaints, so.

So I go outside the door and come back in smelling just like it. Smelling like it is real different in terms of, first of all, weed is more pungent than tobacco. No, it ain't. It is. No, it ain't. No, it's not, man. Weed is more pungent than tobacco. Come on, right now. Wait, wait, wait, hold on. Even though, wait, no, no, no, seriously. Come on. Even though it might stink to some, like, smell like roll keel, that when you look at cigarette smoke,

Cigarette smoke and all of that tobacco. It's a terrible smell, bro. It's a terrible just that's not what I said Did you hear the word I used? It's the same. No, it's not it's not the same difference It is more it is more pungent. No, it's not because to the to the people that don't smoke What is one of the descriptors that they have a marijuana? What does it call loud? No, no, what is loud?

Man, man. Hold on, hold on, hold on. No, but it smells. That's what people named it. Cause it's the name, cause it's the love. But you can name cigarettes that though. Cigarette smoking, the smoke smell from cigarettes. Now people don't like any smoke. If you don't like that, like for example, a cigar is more pungent than a cigarette, right? But weed is more pungent. If I'm smoking a blunt, not only do I have the weed,

Had a cigar no bro, but you don't smell the cigar Keith I'm trying to figure out why this why they were people because I don't see this for the culture what I see this is that people are Not mindful that you're going into a shared space I get but what people are doing and so how do you put it on black folks if the only people coming in doing it if

And I use the word if a big word, if the only people coming in, look, the only dog that hollers when you throw a rock in a dark room is the one they got hit. And so who's out there complaining about it? It wasn't white people. It was black people. It's not a dark room, Keith. It's as plain as you can see, because again, because again, when you look at how white people see us, they see us as weed smokers.

That's how white people see us. Let me let me give y'all something to think about y'all going break What will happen when they do legalized weed? It could be the same thing because but then you can't smoke it is legal yet You cannot smoke inside but you can come out smelling like it, but you don't smell the same as you do with weed man

Come on, man, really bro to people that don't smoke cigarettes. That's the state it stands out done both and but I don't smoke cigarettes I've done both. So what I'm saying is how do you know how bad the smell is because because the wind because we're debauched that outside Why would you call me? People know people smoke. So we do boost it out. You listen to community That's what I'm saying Yeah, but if he smoked weed outside that would have a very different smell

than if he smoked a cigarette. They are not the same, man. But we're going to have it when they legalize it. I didn't say it was the same. I didn't say it was the same smell, but however, cigarette tobacco stank, bro. And when you like tobacco, it stinks. It has a terrible smell to it. All right. You're listening to a community voice. The phone lines are open.

Oh man, there's words I'm trying not to use. Let's not break, man. Yeah, because there's some words I've tried not to use. Because we have FCC requirements. And I don't want this station to lose us life. We'll be right back. Listen out! Listen out!

We have been in business here for 14 years. I believe the rivers are the cleanest they've ever been. We get lots of people on our rivers in canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards. People are happy to be here and it's growing every year. We love our partnership with Violia. They help the kayak company grow. I definitely don't think we would be here without Violia and MMSD. Clean water is essential.

When we wanted to expand access for folks in need of bikes, we turned to Veolia. The result? The new Veolia EcoPass program that has dramatically increased access to our bike share system for folks all throughout our community. Connecting students to schools, people looking for work with employers, the community with parks. Thanks to our partnership with Veolia, Bubbler Bikes is serving more people than ever before. Those are Milwaukee values.

I'm Jim Playset. I'm the executive director of the Historic Third Ward Association and also a resident of the Historic Third Ward. Somebody's got to manage this, right, and care for our waterways and care for the treatment of our waterways. We couldn't do it without MMSD and Veolia. They've just been a great partner as long as I've known them. It's just been an amazing recovery for this body of water. MMSD and Veolia have been a big part of getting that cleaned and enjoyable for all of us.

All right, I calm down. Me and Clark went to the car. We better now. Save me. I'm back. We're back, man. I'm just saying, man, it is that Chris Rock joke from the 90s, grand opening, grand closing. And it is some folks who just, they take drama, man. I mean, it's kind of unfortunate.

If and I use the word again big word if if if the people who are doing it look a certain way If if Caller welcome to the program. Good morning Good morning Hello Okay

marijuana smell and cigarette smell. So, but here's my somewhat of a contingency. And when you said pungent, I understood that it has something to do with the sense of it. But when it comes to a cigarette in marijuana, the potent chemical that exists in the marijuana is the THC. And when it comes to cigarettes, there's over 2,000 chemicals that are used

in industry, in the chemical industry and in various aspects of life when it comes to the production of petroleum, plastics, and stuff like that. And me, I would rather smell a marijuana smell than a cigarette smell because I know that from the cigarette, I'm being exposed to a variety of things that you probably can't even pronounce.

with the technical times that apply to the chemical consistency of a cigarette. And then another thing with cigarettes over a period of time, they cause you to lose your teeth. And I have a relative and they're younger than me. And because they've smoked so long or whatnot, they don't have any front teeth anymore. But Christopher, we're not arguing about the health impact. We're talking about now this idea

that if people don't want to be in a space where they're smelling marijuana. I understand. Let me say this too, Mr. Pierce. Like I heard Brother Rato speaking about, because some people, everybody that hangs out around people who smoke marijuana don't smoke marijuana. So it could probably get in your clothes, your hair, and stuff like that because the person that smokes cigarettes

I can't stand the smell of it, but when I, if I'm around them for too long, that stuff is, it sticks to you. And then people smell you and they'll look at you and think you use some cigarette chimney or something like that. And like, I don't smoke cigarettes, but I also smoke premium water though. So I'm on premium water. The question is to share. Thank you. Not so much whether or not you should use it or, I mean, I just think that it,

you know, the people who were sitting up here and then I think, well, if you ain't doing it, why are you talking about it? Because you know somebody that is. Okay. All right. And then because I, you know, when we could smoke indoors, I used to hate and I was smoking Newport's. I used to hate when people were smoking, when I was eating, I didn't want to smell it. Yeah. You know, I mean, so I think that that space, but I'm like, like cigarettes, you know, it is there.

but it's not there like if you especially if you smoke a blunt because tobacco pure tobacco because that's the difference between a cigar and a cigarette a cigar is natural there's nothing at well some of these black and miles but i'm just saying but i'm just saying if you went and got a regular cigar it is natural right the the leafing is natural what they wrap it in is natural so it's different but it still has a very pungent smell

And I'm saying when you mix that with marijuana, how do we know somebody, if marijuana was such a innocuous smell, how would we know when people were smoking? Because you could smell it, man. I remember, hold on. I was just at an event we had over at summer 82. We were downstairs. This dude came in before he got down the stairs. Because he probably just got out of the car smoking and just put it out. That's the point, though. The point is, what I'm arguing is not because you black,

I just, people just don't want to smell it. I get it, but what I'm pushing back and saying is this, Keith, if I go over to the gas station right now and grab a Philly wrap, split it open and take the tobacco out and just light the paper, you are not going to smell anything that smells like marijuana or even anything that smells like a cigarette. It's going to smell like burnt paper.

It's going to smell like a burnt leaf. If I take all of the substance out of that filly, dump it and just like the paper, you're not, it's no indication. But here's the question, Jermaine. The question is, is it discriminatory to say that if you smell like weed, that you will not be allowed admittance? Is that discriminatory because people are black? Again, what I'm saying is white people equate weed smoking.

to blacks. That's why, again, if you ask me, that's why they really don't want to pass this law to legalize the weed, because it would have to free, but it would have to free some of these black people. White people smoke weed at the same frequency as black folks. But look at the synthesis that white people has got that might smoke the same weed, same frequency. Here's my question. If the people

It should only affect the people coming in there smelling like weed. And if only people could, if, and I use the word again, if the only people coming in there smelling like weed is black, it's not because you black, it's because you smell like weed. I understand what you're saying. And so for here, black people out here try to make an argument about the culture. Bro, that's just like, okay, here we go. That's just like with the music down at the garage.

You got white rap artists that talk about gun and violence. Yes. Why wasn't they on the list? Good question. I agree with my point. My agree. I agree with you. So it's my point of what I'm saying is is pointed towards us because you got white rap artists that I'm sure that I know of myself that talk about zebra. We that talk about the drugs that talk about violence, but they wasn't ex from the list zebra.

I disagree with that. Most black people have a very cute. I sense a smell ain't no different than anybody else's sense of smell. Come on, man. It depends on what you know. It depends on what you indulge in. Because for me, I don't smoke cigarettes. We have we have an acute sense of smell that makes us different. That is not true. No, I agree with you. But what I'm saying for me to what makes me different from the next man is if the next man smokes cigarettes and don't smoke weed, right? So if I light up.

Some weed it's gonna stand out to him because he don't smoke it Compared to if I light up a cigarette. It's gonna interview smoke weed You know it has its own distinct. Isn't that the terpen's in there that gives it is distinct I get it, but what I'm I'm not talking about the older keep the smell but what I'm saying Keith is When you have a person that light a cigarette who don't smoke weed

We smell is going to stick out to that person. Just like for me, I don't smoke cigarettes. But if a person like a cigarette, you can be around the corner. If you like a cigarette, I can smell it because my nose is sensitive to that because I don't. And depending on the weed you smoke and you smell it four blocks away. I'm just arguing that I'm making is that is it discriminatory?

to say I have a, you have a policy. Now, if the people coming in there smoking like we just happen to be black, it is that policy is not directed at black people. It's directed at people who smoke or smell like we when they walk into golden nests. Right. That is true. But what I'm saying is I'm trying to get you to see the other side of the piece of paper. When you look at

The most people that are incarcerated for marijuana is black. That's a different thing. Hold on. That's a different thing. Wait, just follow. You're talking about enforcement of the law. I'm talking about, even though it's illegal, people are still smoking it, obviously, and people are still going in. So whether it's legal or not, it's not the question that you do. It is how people react to that particular smell. Okay, I mean that, and look, the majority of Americans don't smoke cigarettes, right?

that there are a lot of people got a problem with cigarette smell. But obviously the weed smell because, look, Golden Ness wants your money. But if the weed smell is sitting up where people sit up here saying, I'm not going to come up in here because the smell is a certain way, that impacts their bottom line. So who are the people saying they're not coming up in there? White people? I don't know. A lot of black people would have a problem with people smelling like weeds sitting across from them. That ain't, see what, that ain't for the culture. What's causing them to say?

Is it that people are complaining? Why black people complain about people smelling like we I haven't heard

But people who could smoke might have an issue with it.

We just talked about we just talked about you this morning because right now brought up his macaroni and cheese recipe again. Hey, good morning, Mr. Chocolate Superman. How you doing, sir? I'm doing all right.

I'm not going to take no sides. But come on now, Keith. Come on now, man. I've been doing that. Jermaine, right off, he's right. Because back in the days, Keith, for real, when people were smoking cigarettes and stuff, it smelled just as nasty as weed and stuff. And especially when we used to back in the days, we didn't step on it.

Right. Right. You add chemicals and stuff like that. Nobody steps on weed. No, you step on cocaine. Yes, they do that. Come on. Yes, they do. Yes, they do. They step all over you. They can do infusion, but ain't nobody stepping on weed. Doc, yes they are. The word step on means that in that you're adding to in order to split it up and make the heroin or cocaine go further. They are absolutely.

Oh, come on. It's all down the road. Does that impact the smell? Yes, it does. I'm not trying to be disrespectful, sir. Would you please let me finish my conversation? No. That's OK. Don't get me started. Don't get me started, Keith. But no, Keith, like I said, I'm not taking nobody's side. We'll keep you right at our Jermaine Wright office right now.

because when it comes to marijuana, man, yeah, they put chemicals in it and stuff like that. What does that have to do with the smell, man? Keith, what I'm trying to say, I'm trying to say, sir, cigarettes were just as nasty, like Jemaine, right off here. It was just as nasty. As a matter of fact, I was just serving in Vietnam, sir. Did you serve in Vietnam? No, I didn't. That idea. Well, I'm gonna say, Mr. Keith Parris,

that when I was serving in Vietnam, sir, they took away mythol in Vietnam. You know why? Because mythol was kind of like a attitude, you know, to get high on. So they stopped selling mythol cigarettes in Vietnam when he was smoking cigarettes. The R.G.T. and Ride Out is way more pungent than cigarette smoke. Is weed?

Is we more punty? We're not talking about Yes, we are. Yes, we are. Right now, Mr. T. Parris, there are white people in Madison trying to get the veterans and stuff like that served to deal with the injuries and stuff like that with hemp. With hemp, okay? So excuse me, Mr. T. Parris, what you trying to say about cigarettes? Cigarettes and alcohol?

The impact of it we're talking

Thank you. Thank you, Jermaine. But Mr. Keith Parris, like I said, I'm trying not to get on nobody's side. I'm just trying to be fair about this. Okay. Mr. Keith Parris, cigarettes and alcohol are always being the worst of the worst. And marijuana stuff like that, not only trying to use it in nimbistical ways, from medication and stuff like that, Mr. Keith Parris. So on what I want to say, sir, like I'm saying, I'm not going to take no sides, but

He's a man right off, he's a right, and you're right, Keith. I'm not gonna try to sell it a fence, okay? But I don't wanna say from experience, sir, from experience. When I had, when I, you just let me some marijuana back in the days, or if they had to worry about if the seeds- Did you smell differently than when you smoked cigarettes? Of course, I'm smoking cigarettes right now, sir. Okay, I appreciate you.

I don't think you want a big Spanish holler with Acapulco gold. I'm watching this series on Apple called Shrinking.

Shrinking with Harrison Ford and oh man, it's also on these therapists, right? Okay, so this guy They had this big thing they happened to party So his son Who's in there do well had mixed this candy bag? It was his candy bag, right? His dad takes it because his mom said no, he said no, you know my sugar is low So he ate the whole bag He ate

642 milligrams of THC. Oh, he was high. Dude was high. He was, dude, he was hallucinating. He was, oh, he was gone, man. And they said that, and the doctors said, they said, they said they release him as soon as he can walk again. What was that? It was a 10-2, the weed he was smoking helped me get home.

I hate to go against my man Jermaine Rideout. Well don't do it. I love me some Jermaine Rideout.

But it's as simple as, you know how we used to smoke cigarettes? You were allowed to smoke cigarettes inside? You don't anymore? Was that because of the culture? Was that because...

No, no, no, no, no, no, that was because of secondhand smoking people can call that you can get cancer from. So it was a health issue. No, but it wasn't a smell issue. It was a health issue. This is too different spectrum. But it's two different spectrums. Yeah. People got tired of it being.

Because people was dying from secondhand smoke. I don't want to die. That's what I was going to say. Yeah, it was secondhand smoke. So it wasn't from the smell because people were smelling it all day. It was that they realized that people was dying because Keith might want to smoke. I don't want to die because he would smoke.

I can tell you, basically, is this your payback? Yeah, Doc, I got to get you back. I put the black cover on your chair. He used my name for three days, so sweet. Because of Keith. He caught it real cool. Did I say anything about Keith? You know what basically what started that is the restaurant. Back in the day, all the restaurants, you could say that the fire smoked. Yeah, yeah. So they would get in the room and it would feel like the room. I get all of that.

I did all of that, but was it because of the culture? No. No, it wasn't because of the culture. But again, doc, you plan two different ball games here, and that ain't fair. No, I'm just saying that now that we have this smoke-free environment, we are more apt to smell different smells than we did when you were in there smoking. I mean, so that's not the issue. And I don't know why people won't accept

that there is a different odor and that marijuana is a stronger odor than cigarettes. It really is. Cigars is a stronger odor than cigarettes. So you mean to tell me 2000 some odd chemical? Pipe smoking is a different odor because of what's burning. Well, regardless of what's burning, the question is, is there a difference? Yes. And again, if you look at 2000,

plus chemicals that's burning at one time, compared to one, you go have more. I mean, think about it. I'm not so smart, man. I'm not so... Wait a minute. Hey, kiddie. Hey, kiddie. He gonna drop some science soda. When you go out to eat, do you want to smell that? I don't want to smell nothing but my food. Oh, okay. Exactly.

I don't even want to smell. I don't even want to smell your cheap cologne or the cheap perfume. I want to smell my food. But however. Right. Your room 45. But even, you know, cause we talk about odors, like my wife, like you come with a lot of cologne and perfume.

It sits off, it sits off her allergies. No, your allergies. So I mean, I understood, but the question was, and it kind of gives back to, because I got to go. The question was, do people look, if people coming in and there's an over, because look, the majority of people do not smoke cigarettes, right? Right. So, but I'm saying, so if Jermaine comes to smell like cigarettes is not the same as Keith coming in.

smelling like weed because people found out about it because it's illegal. No, it's illegal because even if it was legal, people would have a problem with it. Okay, so they don't like the smell. So a lot of people don't like the smell of weed. Okay. What's the strongest? What's the strongest? May I want a or a cigar? Both of pungent. But you got 2000 plus chemicals that's more than compared to one. Come on, man.

I know y'all gotta go but domain domain

Next time, lift the 2,000 chemicals in it, all right? Yeah. Right now, right now, 1,900. Wait a minute, wait a minute. I ain't gonna go 2,000 day two. Hey, 1,998 of them ain't gonna go 2,000. But I can say this, 1,999 of those chemicals. I gotta get about it. Get in here if you can.

All right. Yeah, you're just starting something. No, man. He couldn't name one of the chemicals. Hey, say what? It's $2,000. Give me what? $2,000. That's all you need to know. That's all you need to know. Hey, I gotta say it. Sackle, crackle, brookle. That's it. All of those big words. That don't smoke me in your body. It's true. I would want to smell Jame's high karate on here.

Hey y'all, let me say, Clark Kent, thank you. Thank you, man. Hey, Jermaine, thank you as always. Callers, hey, tomorrow I'll be gone, but we'll be able to be manned here on Community Voice by Devon Jones, DJ to Brother Jay, and my favorite niece, because she might be listening, Mr. Parris Sapple. Hey, y'all, the good Lord Willie Cook, don't rise. I hope to talk to everybody on Monday. Remember that number, 2,000.

No, I'm playing brother Christopher for that because he gave him the staff. Sigh is all the way, as Keith say. I'm out.

Keith B. Parris

Good morning.

Welcome to Community Voice.

I'm your host Keith Parris.

I want to thank everybody for joining us this morning.

Good morning, Clark Kent.

How are you, sir?

Who you with?

Keith B. Parris

Top of the stairs.

Right.

Keith B. Parris

Brother Wright out.

What's happening?

Well, Dick in Paris, God bless you.

The Lord has been good to me.

Keith B. Parris

All right, y'all, the phone line's open 414-444-5250-414-444-5250.

We, uh, strobe back Thursday.

Man, this week is gone, man.

Yeah.

Jesus.

And we at the end of August.

Already.

Yeah.

Yikes.

Keith B. Parris

What?

Okay, thank you, man.

Appreciate you all these camera angles

They didn't tell you to do

all

those

Keith B. Parris

It is a throwback Thursday and Michelle.

I'm sorry.

I got here early year than I normally do and thank her for being so gracious as she said to let me ruin her program.

I I appreciate that.

Let's go back.

Let's read some of their See read something that's really nothing less than normal Let's see still it's nothing but a distraction away from where we know this war and the Epstein files.

We still talking about Epstein files.

Yeah

I mean, I don't know why we stopped talking about it.

This dude should be locked up and everybody is dead.

No, I'm not talking about him.

I'm talking about Trump.

I'm talking about Trump should be locked up and everybody that's connected to this case should be locked up.

The

Keith B. Parris

problem that they really had though, and initially people said that one of the reasons why those files were released during the Biden administration was the number of Democrats.

I mean,

but and again, I feel some kind of way because when if we go and call a spade a spade, we got to call it a spade.

Let's not be racial.

No, no, but I'm saying, but when the Democrats was in office and you had access to this stuff, if you really wanted to release it, why didn't you release it then?

Keith B. Parris

Well,

Obviously the Dems knew what some other folks knew and the Republicans ran on release the f-steam files release the f-steam files And then they come and see that Donald Trump has mentioned thousands of times in the files, right?

Oh Now we don't need to release them Okay,

but again, it's too size to the spectrum and Democrat Party

Can't get a pass because when you had control and you had the files in your possession Why didn't you release them

Keith B. Parris

because it would have been embarrassing?

It's gonna be embarrassing either way if the Republicans release them it's gonna be embarrassed the

Keith B. Parris

Republicans had not run on it I'm talking you know people are talking about like if I get in I'm gonna release the files Pam Bondi.

I'm we should release the files until they realized Donald Trump was in the file.

So when people

maybe sometimes, you know, you just leave well enough alone.

I mean, now there are people out there, they're the victims of Epstein that require justice.

Right.

Well, that's the thing about this justice who is going to impact on is not just going to be Republicans, it's going to be Democrats too, powerful people.

And, you know, this dude was a money launderer.

There are some people who believe that he was an agent for Masaad, which is the Israeli secrets, secrets service, their secret, secret intelligence organization.

So there was a lot there.

A lot of people got entangled.

And, you know, when you are in the midst of it, you never think there's going to be exposure.

But the biggest sin is exposure.

It's exposure.

Put it like this.

A lot of seats would have been open.

Yeah, well, a whole lot of seats.

Well, they need to go ahead and open up the seats because if you are doing this type of stuff and if you have participated in this stuff that you know is wrong, but you want to cover your sins and point the finger at the other people and you're just as guilty.

Yeah.

So it works.

And it's like, OK, well, if we don't clean it out, let's clean it out all the way.

So if he was involved.

You got to go to the weather.

Straighten it out.

I'm just saying, no, if you was wrong, you was wrong.

And regardless of what side you're on, if you was wrong, if you participated in hurting these kids, these young girls, you knew it was wrong, but you thought you was going to get away with it, you need to go down too.

So yeah, you might have got by, but you will never get away.

and these people, the weather you Republican, whether you Democrat, the weather you blue, red or

green or yellow, I

don't care.

If you was involved in this, you need to go down, period.

And the weather is going to be an embarrassment to the party.

You sin the did it because you knew it was wrong and what you was

Keith B. Parris

doing.

Let me do this, man.

Speaking of going down.

Kennedy wore me out yesterday.

I went down.

She wore me out yesterday.

Oh, she wore me out.

We played two out of three.

It was a sweep.

She had to move out.

She

wore me

Keith B. Parris

out yesterday.

I was down.

I think she wore this on Monday.

I know she's going to want to play again on Monday because she won.

I was talking to my uncle Frankie.

And, uh, I had just retired and we had wheat.

You know, we had wheat downstairs in the basement.

So, uh, you know, Frankie, I don't know if he had wheat at home too.

So, man, that wheat bowling.

Oh, he was good.

It's fun.

He was good.

He was wearing me out.

Let's

Keith B. Parris

see what he didn't realize.

was when he was at school, I'm retired.

Oh, so you practice it.

Man, did you play the tennis one?

Keith B. Parris

Yeah,

that's the one,

Keith B. Parris

man.

Yeah, that's

the

Keith B. Parris

one, man.

At the time, he came down.

He found out what a turkey was at bowling.

Because I was worried about, I was worried about,

he

didn't want

to

Keith B. Parris

play there.

Oh,

no.

Keith B. Parris

Let's go.

Yeah, because

he used to be

Keith B. Parris

poppy.

Let's go down the ball.

Like, no, you don't, but you don't want to play now.

It was like my buddy Fred, man.

He really kind of got me into playing tennis.

Mr. Rush really had taught me some things.

So, you know, Fred would call me, man, let's go play tennis.

If we go play tennis and Clark, he'd be wearing me out, dude.

I mean, he'd be wearing me out.

So after a while, I was kind of like, I'm tired of losing.

And so, you know, he called me one day.

He said, let's go out.

I'll never forget.

We went over to Washington Park with the basketball courts now.

now used to be the tennis course.

Tennis

course is short.

And

Keith B. Parris

dude, I worked

up on him.

We never played again.

Matt, you know what we do?

We go down to the lake, to the tennis course.

We go down to the lake.

And we, you know, we actually use that as exercise because once you play two or three games, you, you know, you and your breath, you're breathing you because of the constant movement.

And there's a lot of

like I use that as my workout too.

Keith B. Parris

And it's fun, man.

You do paddle ball?

No, I don't.

Pickle ball, I'm sorry.

No, pickle ball,

no.

Hey,

I would play ping pong.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Come on.

I couldn't, man.

That's one guy I could.

I used to hate to play with my table

Keith B. Parris

tennis.

Yeah.

I just hate it.

I want to hit the ball too hard.

Man, my coach used to spike me all the time.

Come on, man, quit.

Oh, yeah.

When

Keith B. Parris

you hit it and they get that running start

on it.

Yeah.

You know what time it is.

Keith B. Parris

Carla, welcome to the program.

Good morning.

Good morning.

This is off topic.

It was when you were on the show.

It sounded like it was echoing.

It's a radio on?

No, it's just kind of loud.

Okay.

You want me to call right back?

No, but you could.

Okay.

It don't sound like she echoing you.

She was only echoing on her end.

Keith B. Parris

All right.

Good morning, Mr. Parris.

Good morning, Solis.

So here we go.

Keith B. Parris

Carla, welcome to the program.

Hi.

Keith B. Parris

Good morning.

Hello.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I still hear myself.

Well, anyway, you and I were talking about the memorial of 9-11.

And there's still people there flipping through doing new DNA testing.

Keith B. Parris

Right.

There was, I don't know what the number was.

They could not identify the remains.

Yeah.

I saw a black community like a couple weeks ago.

Like on a pbs channel something else is like during the weekend and that the way they do something with me I mean it was it was really amazing on how they take an item like part of the building or And they got this type of spray and then they put it and they still try not to identify people so that talent is not even nowhere near close Well, all right, I just gotta tell you good

Keith B. Parris

morning as well

You know, we're just talking about, um, Sheikh Khalid, uh, Muhammad 25 years ago.

That's crazy.

That, that, you know, that you would, you would think, but it opened up a door and there's a lot of, there's some conspiracy folks, you know, talk about it as an inside job.

Um, I, um, I read a book, I have a book called the bin Laden's and it talks about how, um,

The, first of all, people don't realize that Ben Laden was a engineer.

Right.

Keith B. Parris

These guys were engineers.

And so they, because they tried to bomb it, the World Trade Center, where they actually put the bomb in the garage.

It was like 94 or something.

Keith B. Parris

Yeah, 94, 95.

I'm Bill Clinton.

And, but, you know, the, the engineering, the bomb engineering was not enough.

So who would have ever thought?

That people figured that and really airplanes are flying bombs when you look at all the fuel So they purposely pick planes that were going to be intercontinental because they would be filled with fuel, right?

The fact that you had these guys in here who were the majority then were Saudi Okay, and let me do this on the side on this piece on September 12th 2001

the only plane other than military planes in the air was the plane used to fly to Bin Laden family out of United States.

And

that's where I was about to

Keith B. Parris

go.

Yeah, that was

Keith B. Parris

the only plane flying other than military aircraft.

So you you you ground every flight except for that one.

That one.

And this is why I was saying conspiracy with a Y.

That this was the inside job because if you automatically Knew it was been Latin Why would you fly his family out of the country instead of interrogate?

Well, that's

Keith B. Parris

what that's what the 9 11 Commission came out.

That's why you have not received That's why we have not seen the 9 11 report the 9 11 report people reporting that it was clearly Saudi involved

Where it was Saudi shakes,

you know

Keith B. Parris

religious leaders who were selling money to bed a lot, right?

And bin Laden was rich.

He came from a rich family, right?

I think his folks were Yemeni and then they moved to Saudi Arabia They did a lot of building in Saudi Arabia But right now the victims families want to sue the Saudi government because the Saudi government was complicit

But because cash rules, everything around me and oil, petrodollars, they kind of look the other way.

Wasn't it interesting that George Bush wanted to go into Iraq, which had nothing to do with 9-11,

right?

Right, right.

So wasn't that because

Keith B. Parris

somebody tried to kill his daddy?

He said his daddy was threatened, but who hadn't threatened his daddy?

If you were president, that's the one thing that happens, you know, that you're going to get threats.

against the president of the United States.

I mean, one of the reasons why when Trump flew over with that Kuwaiti airplane and they found out that a surface to air missile could take the plane out because the plane had not been equipped with what they call their defensive measures to be able to, you know, knock down those missiles or divert the missile or do whatever they need to do.

But those shoulder missiles

You know, and so that's why then and then he can even get on the on the other Air Force one.

They put him on another play, right?

So presidents get threats all the time.

Obama threats all the time.

Now, that was the case where supposedly George Bush was avenging the fact that that Saddam Hussein had threatened his dad, you know, no, it was oil.

And then.

OK, so man, because there's a lot here.

So you you get to this, they go into Iraq.

Iraq and then they're in Afghanistan.

Okay.

Who was making money?

Halliburton.

How was Halliburton hooked up with that administration?

Dick Cheney.

So even when people went in this whole war piece, who's making money from the war right now?

Petrol companies, petroleum companies are making money hand over fist.

Thank you at your civic moment.

If you've been listening, she explains.

Why, you know, we produce more oil, right?

Than any other country in the world.

Yet the prices are still high because they talk about how oil is refined and what it would cost to upgrade those refineries to be able to do so.

America ships this oil out.

And then oil prices are set by the global market.

So didn't he have, now I remember when he came in office two years ago,

He had this big meeting with all of the CEOs of gas companies.

He had them all.

For Venezuela.

Keith B. Parris

It was for Venezuela.

Right.

So he had them all.

Now, I believe again that all of this that's happening, it was strategically

Keith B. Parris

set up.

Well, the big oil companies didn't want to go back into Venezuela

because

Keith B. Parris

they had made investments.

Right.

uh when madura was madura not the guy before madura took over they nationalized it so they lost all this equipment all this money so they they were very reluctant right to want to go back into uh venezuela but you know it all gets back to follow the money the the amount of money look we looked the other way when

the current leader of Saudi Arabia had a Saudi journalist killed.

I mean, they got the tape recorder cutting this dude up, and we looked the other way.

So, and then when they talk about the human rights violations that happened in Saudi Arabia, so when you hear this, there's a lot of hypocrisy, obviously, but America is always operating in what is its best economic interest, right?

So,

Yeah, so we're coming up on the 25th anniversary.

I wonder what the discussion is gonna look like is ironic They're gonna have this show trial, you know where you you you get but there was a lot going on You know like a lot of people in this country are here illegally because they overstayed visas Well, that's what these guys did the hijackers did they overstayed their visas.

Why weren't they picked up?

Let's

see

Yeah, that's that

Keith B. Parris

we don't know half the stuff that this government is involved in that that's been a long time Look when I was coming along in the 60s as a kid There were questions about the CIA and some of the Experiments they did on American citizens.

That's why the CIA cannot operate Because of the church committee they can no longer operate.

They weren't ever supposed to be able to operate in the United States, right?

so there's a

When you look at it and you look at government and the U.S.

government and the things that they have or things that they have done, I thought it was kind of fascinating that you were hearing this thing about how Trump is weaponizing the Justice Department.

So did Johnson, so did Nixon, right?

When they went after anti-war protesters, when they went after Black militants,

They used the Justice Department to go after these folks.

Everybody remember, you may or may not, the Chicago 7 trial with Abby Hoffman and these other guys who were doing the Democratic National Convention in 1968, they were charged with creating a riot when in effect it was the Chicago police who created that riot, not the protesters.

And so the idea that

So when I hear people talking about weaponization of the Justice Department, now look, Trump has been making the argument that, oh, they weaponize this against me.

Here's the problem.

You did what it was that you were charged with.

Oh, he did it.

Right?

And had you not been reelected, you would have gone to prison.

And that's one of the reasons why people say he ran to be president now.

Everybody talks about that meeting that Hakeem Jeffries had with Kushner.

The reason why is there's a pretty good chance that the Dems are going to take the House.

There's a real good chance.

That happens, you know, that just happens generally when you have the first midterm election after the national election of a president, that president loses seats in the House.

And in spite of the gerrymandering that Republicans why would the Republicans scrambling to do this gerrymandering because they know that at this point the math is not in its favor and let me say this When we get back, let's talk about this this recent Marquette law school poll and remember I told you all yesterday You need to take it with a grain of salt and we'll kind of maybe get it unpack a little bit of that

Yeah, we'll do that when we get back.

Call our CU.

You're listening to Community Voice, and it's also Throwback Thursday.

When I came in, Carmen said, you had that collegiate look today.

I said, yeah, Kanye West College dropout.

You're listening to Community Voice.

We're going to take a quick break.

We'll be right

back.

I got a question for you, man.

What's up, man?

What's your top five go-to blues songs?

Hmm.

Well, I know how to party, you know, make the party move.

So I would certainly start out with some male waiters with hole in the wall.

That would be my number one.

I go to number two with King George and say, girl, you got it.

And then, uh, nah, just do Willie Clayton.

It ain't fast, but it's one of them that get you going, of course.

Lose my cool would be number three for me.

Number four, Love of Mine by Buddy Ace.

And the number five, it ain't no party by Willie C. Those would be my top five.

All right, y'all, we here with DJ Clark Kent.

Who you with?

You fool.

And I got a question for you, man.

What's up, bro?

What's your top five go to blue songs?

My top five

go to blue.

So it would be Obie Buchanan.

I'm about face down to Mika Joquiel.

Grown man, reaching King George.

And then we got hate on me by Frank Johnson, which is one of my good ones.

Someone else is stepping in by ZZ Hill.

And Mr. Sexy Man by Nelly Tiger Travis.

Now who you with?

We have been in business here for 14 years.

I believe the rivers are the cleanest they've ever been.

We get lots of people on our rivers and canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards.

People are happy to be here and it's growing every year.

We love our partnership with Violia.

They help the kayak company grow.

I definitely don't think we would be here without Violia and MMSD.

Clean water is essential.

When we wanted to expand access for folks in need of bikes, we turned to Veolia.

The result of the new Veolia EcoPass program that has dramatically increased access to our bike share system for folks all throughout our community.

Connecting students to schools, people looking for work with employers, the community with parks.

Thanks to our partnership with Veolia, Bubbler Bikes is serving more people than ever before.

Those are Milwaukee values.

I'm Jim Playset.

I'm the executive director of the Historic Third Ward Association and also a resident of the Historic Third Ward.

Somebody's got to manage this, right, and care for our waterways and care for the treatment of our waterways.

We couldn't do it without MMSD and Veolia.

They've just been a great partner as long as I've known them.

It's just been an amazing recovery for this body of water.

MMSD and Veolia have been a big part of getting that cleaned and enjoyable for all of us.

Keith Parris.

Keith B. Parris

All right, welcome back.

Carla, we thank you for your patience.

Welcome to the program.

Good morning.

First thing

that I'd like to say is good morning.

Good morning.

But I don't know why we, why we tripping.

Go on and release that.

Go on and release the files.

Y'all raising all this hair like they saw about.

But it was like, it ain't so.

I mean...

We know y'all best when we kiss, we know waiters on the rise, these pluralities.

I don't know how many eggs you think you're going to get from a chicken from a four mattress.

I'm going to release them.

Y'all fighting y'all want to keep kidding marriage?

You know down in Tennessee what a 27 year old woman married a 10 year old.

What you think coming from that 10 year old?

And then they sit here and want to talk about old conservative views and morals.

Your cross contaminating the gene pool.

That's why the kid is coming out retarded.

How your day going?

What you want to eat?

Well, you know that Lord said, you know they asked this woman, Mr. Parris, what would you do if this 12 year old was raped by her daddy?

And this

Keith B. Parris

is where it gets lynched.

Don't we have a situation here though?

A prominent person who has just been brought up charges in terms of being inappropriate with their kids.

The girl

got pregnant by her daddy and the lady said, I would have told the 12 year old that baby was put there by God.

Why would you tell a 12 year old who should be focused on being a young child?

that her innocence was put there by her daddy who wanted to give her one dabble and pedophilia and bestiality that the baby was put there by God.

That's contaminating the jaw.

That's contaminating the blow pool.

She could have said, well, he was high on bad crack and cocaine.

And see, this is why they all messed up.

That Elvis Presley, Tennessee, something that I thought he made about the girl dancing around in a flower dress at nine years old.

They are ass stepped in the head.

And then they're messing with the animals that Christopher Columbus stuff.

That's why me and God have got to wear tannins because they're bringing all these damn diseases over here.

You used to be, I'm just saying, what you gonna get from a dog?

You ain't even cleaning out the booty packs yet, but you trying to go inside a dog.

What you gonna get from a horse?

Okay,

all right, we

Keith B. Parris

got some

appreciation.

Keith B. Parris

Boy that beard off tracks real quickly, didn't it?

Let's go.

Let's say you never know there is such a thing called radon There's more radon moving around now and never before it's there's talking about a global warming.

Yeah Yeah, people don't think climate change is real.

It is real and a lot of it goes back to Plastics, right?

Yeah, a lot of and what is plastic made from petroleum?

Call a welcome to the program

I don't know

if I've missed something.

I just, because I would, I would, I, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or,

It was still under investigation.

There was a lot of unverified allegations and things of that nature.

And the Biden administration, unlike what we have now, where Trump is using his DOJ to weaponize going after certain individuals.

on the Biden and Harris term, they kind of wanted to separate themselves and not get involved in that.

I don't know if that has something to do with it.

And then after, there was a bipartisan, I guess the FC Files Transparency Act where, you know, it prepared the government to release the files after, you know, there was.

That just happened last year though.

Right.

But now Trump is,

blocking to have those files released, is that correct?

Keith B. Parris

Yeah,

why do you think

Keith B. Parris

that is?

Of course.

Yeah,

Keith B. Parris

I was just

trying to answer Jermaine's question about why wasn't the files released during values term.

It was kind of still ongoing investigation.

So maybe, you know, keep an independence from the DOJ and the

Keith B. Parris

executive branch.

Part of me is just thinking that it was also they kind of knew if they go in and do product There were some people that appeared in those files, right?

That it would have been damaging and so I think that that was kind of and Republicans may be feeling Oh, they'll never release them and they didn't realize they gender people because people get you know We're attracted.

I'm gonna use a word today.

It's Thursday Puritan things right so if sex is involved with it.

We really want to know about it, right?

And so I think that that was they were running on that showing how the government wasn't responding.

And then you come to find out what they didn't realize was they agenda people's interest in it.

And so a lot of people who supported Donald Trump want to see those files released and not just released the files because that's one part of it.

The other part of it is justice for the victims.

That's the piece of it that whether we release the files or not, the question is, what is DOJ doing to pursue justice?

You know, you sit up here going after people for allegedly vandalizing the reflection pool.

You're going after people who are alleged enemies of Donald Trump.

And remember, he ran in this whole thing, and this is the amazing thing about, I don't know what this is, this is group hypnosis or what.

where, OK, they're going after me.

Well, here's the problem.

You did it.

Exactly.

You know what they're going after you for?

They got evidence that you took files that you shouldn't have had.

And when the when the National Archives said, you know, you need to return these files, then they show pictures.

And then the dude who was trying to hide the files, he get all caught up in it.

So this

dude.

I

Keith B. Parris

mean, you

know, I don't care who's in there.

If there's, you know, they were doing to the young, young women, you know, it doesn't matter.

We probably, whatever Jennifer cares about that, they need to go down.

I mean, that was just disgusting, you know.

And that's all I wanted to say.

I just, I think there was, their, their, their hands were tied in the beginning, maybe, but not, not very untied, but they still

won't, you know, holding on to it.

You know why, you know, we all know why, but, you know, that's just the way it is.

That's, that's politics for you.

Okay.

Thanks

Keith B. Parris

for taking my call.

Thank you.

Keith B. Parris

414-444-525-0.

414-444-525-0.

Um, I see North and South had put in, um, they had put in, and thank you, Brian.

Brian Bradin says you can go to a website called 911truth.org and, um,

Obviously, there's some people there out.

I have to pull it up and take a look at it because it is.

Oh, man.

And the fact.

This dude.

I mean, you know, first of all, he he he's voted the worst president ever.

And we've had some bad ones, right?

But not only is the dude awful, you know, he's also corrupt.

And, you know, his family is ripping folks off.

And how do you do a settlement where, you know what?

Because someone had released his IRS, his tax forms that then they make a claim against the government.

He's basically suing himself because he is the government.

And then part of that was that.

That victim fund that they would have for people who were wrong wrongfully either convicted or or wrongfully prosecuted by the Justice Department i.e.

these folks who were part of January 6 and then You have things where no one in the bush and bush in the trump family and or organizations You can't go back and look at their tax reform see if they were cheating on their taxes And he wants all that in writing

And thank God for the judge who's going like, hey, this dog ain't going to hunt.

This stinks.

But the fact that you feel you can do that, and you have Congress who is sitting on their hands.

So in a lot of ways, chickens are going to come home to roost.

And so for all these Congress folks, congressmen, congresswomen who just lined up with him and we ain't gonna say nothing about him and folks who said negative things about him now getting back because they're so fearful how the base is gonna put their splits in the base right now.

And there's people who were on board in 2024 who are not on board now.

I think people are beginning to realize that, oh, when you was talking about them, you didn't think it ever hit me and now it's hit me.

Okay, you know when you sit up and talk about folks who Yeah, we're gonna do this big beautiful bill and you'll see a tax cut at the same time You got to pay for those tax cuts now what you what's very difficult for Congress to do is going and try to really cut deeply into these programs that people benefit from right and there's this whole thing about when you give Americans benefits it's hard to take them back So what do they do?

with a lot of the changes to health care, they don't kick in until 2027.

So they wouldn't be part of the midterm.

That was going to be tough enough.

But now when you're looking at people in this whole thing about affordability and Trump can come out and say, oh, it's a hoax.

It's not real.

I just went and put gas in the car every time I go and put gas in the car truck I realized that one of the reasons why the gas prices is so high is that this dude has us involved with a war that we're not winning by the way We got us involved with a war and now you know I Always say you know when when when Jesus is on the cross the first thing Jesus said was Forgive them for they know not what they do, right?

What I believe Jesus was saying was that people don't understand in this moment you're doing this But the consequences of your actions now you don't even realize how bad they're gonna be all those folks who voted for Donald Trump Right, and now you know because his nature is just his nature and he don't care about you Okay, now chickens are coming home the reason you realize.

Oh, okay.

Now there's still people in identity politics, right?

Which kind of gets us to a great segue into the recent Marquette Law School poll and I remember yesterday I said before the poll was released You need to take these polls with a grain of salt and I also mentioned yesterday something called the Bradley Wilder effect where people will lie to posters especially when they're black candidates or Latino candidates involved because they don't want to appear to be racist

So they're a lot to the posters.

Oh, yeah, I'll vote for Keith Paris But then when you actually get into the boating booth, you know true nature shows up and it's gonna be hard now Wisconsin is a purple state That's important I was just looking at the the right now the split is Let's see.

He is at 49 44

for Likely voters, but then when his registered voters is 44% is for both of them and then I think there's about 17% that's undecided Something you don't see a lot of them Wisconsin so-called independent voters right most people have chose chosen aside and so When you look at that poll and and I said it yesterday, I'll say it again today the

The Crowley campaign, you can't look at the polls.

You know, you just have to run like you have five points behind because like I said, anything can happen.

This is going to probably turn out to be one.

It's going to be a turnout election, right?

And it could be a very, very narrowly decided election.

So if people are sitting here and, um,

And they're kind of going like, oh, he's ahead in the polls.

And I go, yeah, that's an indicator.

But if I'm with the Crowley campaign, I'm running like we're behind.

Because they very well could be, depending on what people are doing and what they're saying to posters.

I need to take a break.

Hey, you're listening to Community Voice Callers.

I see you.

I'm going to grab you right after the

break.

We'll be right back.

We have been in business here for 14 years.

I believe the rivers are the cleanest they've ever been.

We get lots of people on our rivers and canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards.

People are happy to be here and it's growing every year.

We love our partnership with Veolia.

They help the kayak company grow.

I definitely don't think we would be here without Veolia and MMSD.

MMSD and Veolia have been a big part of getting that clean and enjoyable for all

Keith B. Parris

of us.

All right, welcome back.

Caller, welcome to the program.

Good morning.

Hello.

Hey,

Keith B. Parris

how

are you?

Right.

Hey, speaking about the 9-11.

Excuse me.

Speaking about the 9-11.

I don't like the lot of five communities about it all, but probably the best one I would say for anybody to look at is one called, it's pretty old, but it's called the new Pearl Harbor.

it's pretty wrong so but they got it screwed up in the sixth or whatever so what I like about it is they ain't really trying to convince you one way or the other it's what happened but it's so many coincidences or it's so much nonsense that happened either that day or the couple days before it so all I know is what they told us happened well I said I don't know what happened but I know what they told us happened that's not what happened

I can't say what they did, but I know what they tell them is they need it.

And then it's this other, this lady's doctor.

Keith B. Parris

So why do you think that what they're telling us, what did you see that day?

You say like, did I see the plane hit the building?

Keith B. Parris

Yeah.

Oh yeah, I remember

Keith B. Parris

what I was doing when I saw it.

Okay.

So this is what I'm saying here is cause we're actually watching this happen.

in real time.

Oh no, I'm not saying the planes didn't hit the bill though, but for them it looked like, how you see it?

Why would they fly a bin Laden family out the country?

Or how about September 10th, down at World Steel said that the Pentagon couldn't find 10 trillion dollars?

Look at that.

Keith B. Parris

Okay, all

right.

But what I'm saying is, okay, so there's so many

Or the day of 9-11, why would they run a war game?

So being when they said the plan was hijacked, they thought it was fake because they was running war games at the same time.

I

Keith B. Parris

don't, I don't, I don't read that piece.

I don't remember what I do remember was that there was an, was an issue with getting the planes up to intercept the, the planes that were flying in the building,

right?

There's no way that they were running, they were running war guys.

So this what I'm saying about this is about the women.

They're not trying to sway your opinion when they're the other.

They just tell you all the, these are all facts just laid out.

That's why I said, I don't know what happened, but or when the stuff happened, they couldn't, whoever was like, it wasn't a general, but it was like some type of person.

They couldn't get in touch with this person.

Then the person under him, so just so happened to call off that day.

And like, is this so, is this so many?

I don't know the word.

Keith B. Parris

Do you remember that day because I'm looking outside right now.

That day was just like the day we're looking at right now.

When the cloud in the sky.

I remember it

so specifically because I got it cut on the TV.

You know, it was like live, it was like the first building, so we didn't see the plane hit the first building, it just was like smoking and it was on the moon.

And they wouldn't see what happened.

I called my auntie that stayed on the east coast to ask her what happened.

She's like, oh, no, I don't know.

She's like, are you watching it live?

He's like, man, is that a plane?

Man, is this going to hit the building?

Keith B. Parris

Right.

Right.

And

then

Keith B. Parris

she's like, all right, they were watching it live.

I was downstairs pressing a shirt.

And Rhonda said ooh when Rhonda does a ooh there's something she saw and she said oh a plane flew into the World Trade Center I said oh, okay, so I turned the TV on had on CNN and then I'm sitting there watching the second plane live fly into the building and I'm

thinking And

then I was I was reading there was an article they did I can never pronounce the word on it's called Merck metal metallurgic And the whole idea

Remember I said those planes were filled to the brimwood fuel because they were intercontinental flights No, that's not true the heat that was generated and And they talk about in this article the heat that it was close to two to three thousand degrees That heat was such that it was able to melt steel and then once you were able to get in and melt still plus the fuel was running down the elevator shafts

So it was just like it created this whole thing, internal heat.

So the level of heat, because these folks knew what they were doing when they said, look, it's a bomb.

You know, it's like when you, like a hand grenade, most people think people die from the explosion from the hand grenade.

That's

not true.

They

died from the scrap.

No.

So they were able to go in and figure this out in such a way.

The first time they tried to bomb the building, remember they bombed it in the basement.

But it was so fortified, you would almost need a nuclear device to bring it down from the basement.

But to fly a plane into the building, right?

And then the heat that's generated from the fire, and that's what it was.

And so then structurally, the buildings could not stand, and that's why they ended up falling.

Now, that's two more

Keith B. Parris

things I'll tell

you to look at.

The building number six, if you could Google images of building number six, right?

It looked like somebody took an ice cream scoop where I scooped the top of it.

But again, if there's a lady, Dr. Judy Wood, she's got like a whole presentation about why did these builders that didn't even build a number, so I did build a number seven for the same way and then didn't get hit.

Keith B. Parris

Right.

OK.

Keith B. Parris

Appreciate you, man.

Call and welcome to the program.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

One of the things I wanted to just mention is that we're not perfect.

Keith B. Parris

Tyrone, I can't, man, I can't hear you.

I don't understand how what they did to the guys.

Keith B. Parris

Do you have us on speaker because you're sounding, we're not really hearing you clearly.

Tyrone,

Keith B. Parris

we can't hear you,

man.

Keith B. Parris

We can't hear you

Okay,

Keith B. Parris

you can call back call it one to the probe couldn't hear him.

So it's not like I'm cutting it.

I just couldn't hear him.

Call it welcome to the program

You know They keep bringing up all this other stuff the black

or it's really going on because if they're thinking about staying down in the community center, what does Trump really have going on with that bunker that he's trying to, because it's something much more sinister to what he's doing to that White House, you know, changing, rearranging, the pooling, all that other crap.

But anyway, that's my conspiracy thought for the morning.

Keith B. Parris

All right, appreciate you.

Caller, welcome to the program.

Good morning.

Good morning.

What's up my brother?

How you doing there?

I'm good.

Oh man.

What's happening?

All right.

Hey, man, you can imagine that president Can you imagine how many people he don't believe in this life because he's a straight up bully?

He's nine billion in America.

It's crazy man They say when you when you go to Mar-a-Lago, I got a friend who went down there for a golf game He's a Republican whatever He said you got it when he walked in the room if you don't stand up and clap they kind of ask you to leave Do it is something man

Keith B. Parris

Peace, brothers.

All right, I appreciate that.

And when Solis was talking about North Korea as that whole dear leader, you know, they show his cabinet meetings and so they they so busy kissing his ass in the in the cabinet meetings that, you know, you get to and then you find out that's about all they can do.

That's the only thing they can bring to the table.

Because when you look at the competency level of this cabinet,

You know, you just, you're beginning to see, you know, the collateral damage that they're doing.

Pete Hesse should never have been Secretary of Defense, right?

I mean, were you doing war posturing?

So anytime, and that's one of the things, you know, I was telling you all about the different war colleges.

You have the, you have the military academies.

There is and there's a book out there called the art award, right?

But there's a art There's a science that goes into it and you can sit up and believe that you have overwhelming power and this is what it is But then it's something that Colin Powell said when they were talking about going into Iraq He said remember if you break it you own it right?

So you go into Iraq, you were in there for almost 10 years.

You're going to Afghanistan.

We're in there for 20 years because you just can't just go in and do it and bomb.

This is not Venezuela.

And so when people were able to go in and convince them, look what we were able to do in Venezuela, you're not able to do that with Iran.

And here you underestimated these folks, your racism.

You underestimate them.

And what they did was some strategic things.

And then they probably found out, and I don't know accidentally,

You know, we can control the shipping traffic and the impact it will have on the global economy.

You got that and then you got Trump's tariffs, right?

You know, so it wasn't thought out.

These are not serious people, but the problem is their their unseriousness has negative impact on the American people.

You're listening to Community Voice 4144445250.

4144445250, quick break and we'll be right back.

We

have been in business here for 14 years.

I believe the rivers are the cleanest they've ever been.

We get lots of people on our rivers and canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards.

People are happy to be here and it's growing every year.

We love our partnership with Violia.

They help the kayak company grow.

I definitely don't think we would be here without Violia and MMSD.

Clean water is essential.

When we wanted to expand access for folks in need of bikes, we turned to Veolia.

The result of the new Veolia EcoPass program that has dramatically increased access to our bike share system for folks all throughout our community.

Connecting students to schools, people looking for work with employers, the community with parks.

Thanks to our partnership with Veolia, Bubbler Bikes is serving more people than ever before.

Those are Milwaukee values.

I'm Jim Playset.

I'm the executive director of the Historic Third Ward Association and also a resident of the Historic Third Ward.

Somebody's got to manage this, right, and care for our waterways and care for the treatment of our waterways.

We couldn't do it without MMSD and Veolia.

They've just been a great partner as long as I've known them.

It's just been an amazing recovery for this body of water.

MMSD and Veolia have been a big part of getting that clean and enjoyable for all of us.

your host,

Keith B. Parris

Keith Parris.

All right, welcome back to Community Voice.

Have you all ever been to the garage?

Yes.

The garage.

Brady Street.

Yep.

Yeah, they out of order.

Keith B. Parris

Okay.

The garage, which is now, you've been to TikTok?

No, I haven't been there.

TikTok is really grateful.

I heard about it.

Garage has good food.

Yeah.

The garage a Milwaukee bar responded to backlash Tuesday after a no playlist of black rap artists posted at the bars DJ booth went viral online And let me just I'm taking this from Fox six What is the garage no playlist?

What we know and now via video of the no playlist was posted on tiktok sunday august 23rd screenshots of that video

have circulated further on social media elsewhere online, including Google reviews.

The list includes more than three dozen Black hip-hop artists, well-known names like Glorilla, Lil Wayne, Travis Scott, as well as no Milwaukee rap and bold letters at the bottom.

Sexy Red, who was named at the top of the list, respond on X with it.

Lisa, I know I'm number one.

The video has more than 850,000 views as of Tuesday morning, along with tens of thousands.

of reactions, thousands of comments and shares the account that posted just has just over 200 followers.

What we don't know, the initial TikTok post does not identify where the no-play list was put up, but instead include Brady Street, MKE as a tag.

The garage and the adjoining bar, hi-hat, I want to call it the TikTok, hi-hat lounge at the Northwest corner of Brady and Arlington on Milwaukee's Lower East Side.

comments on TikTok video identified the list as being at the garage and the bar itself has since responded.

Here's a reaction from people who have, what they're saying, Ishmael Ishdar Ali, the local artist who posted the video said that no playlist screams discrimination.

It definitely felt like we're too welcome, you know?

He said, we can have fun, spend our money, but when it comes to our music and our culture, things are trying to, things we are trying to bring, they're,

they have not accepted fully.

Ali said the bull print at the bottom of the list prohibiting local artists was to kick her.

No Milwaukee rap in Milwaukee.

Like, come on, guys, but I'm a rapper in here.

He said, I feel like minorities are people black and brown are saying we don't want that there.

Dig deeper.

The list sparked public backlash online, including in social media comments and on Google reviews.

The bar has an overall rating of more than four stars as of Tuesday morning.

in the time since the list was posted on tiktok though the bar has received more than a dozen one or two star reviews while not all reviews include the comments or had comments that had made no mention of music some did do not go to the bar they posted a list about 20 30 black people and said they can't play their music we are done supporting this business in the hope we can make this business bankrupt one reviewer wrote the bar also received a smattering of five star reviews some of which

reference music at the bar since the list went viral, very inclusive with great music one person wrote.

The other side, the garage posted a response on its Instagram page last Monday night saying the goal was to avoid music that referenced violence but acknowledging the list of specific artists was the wrong approach.

We're very proud of our diverse patron mix and our staff and we're very upset to learn of this situation.

We have spoken to the employee who issued the list, which is not approved by ownership and stressed why it was not acceptable.

The intention was to eliminate music with lyrics that reference violence or guns, create a more relaxed vibe at the establishment, but a list of artists were certainly the wrong approach to statement read.

We've always supported the diversity of Brady Street and will continue to do so.

Regret that this presents us in any other light.

Ownership also said is unaware of the text sent by employees, local DJ saying failure to comply.

Failure to comply with the list would result in a loss of gigs.

The bar is supposed to open at 3 p.m.

on Tuesdays, but was locked and not open for business.

Comments on the bar's response was turned off.

However, previous posts on the garage's Instagram page had been flooded with comments, many of them which referenced race and music critical of the bar over the past few days.

So again,

The High Hat, which was, the High Hat has very interesting history.

The High Hat, many, many years ago, that location was a store.

And the guy went in and they did some work and they end up taking the floor out.

And so dudes said, you know what, just leave it open.

So when you actually go in, there's a upper level would be the first floor ground level, but then you actually go down and what is the basement, right?

And then they open up the garage a few years after that.

Like I said, great food there.

Hi-hat had great fish fry.

I loved their fish fry.

But it brings up another question.

It brings up another question.

Now, I don't know what demographic they're trying to reach there on Brady Street.

But I'm going to tell you, the music of the venue kind of sets the tone to what happens and who's attracted to that venue.

Carla, welcome to the program.

Good morning.

Hey, good morning.

Can't hear you, Meeks.

The music sets the tone for the, for the venue, man.

That's just like me throwing an event and I got a young DJ that's getting plenty of action.

He got hair banging music going on.

He banged these people's head all the way up until, especially young folk, all the way up into closing time.

They leaving out with that energy, man.

You got to have fights, car accidents, all kind of crazy stuff because you're leaving them with that energy.

You're leaving them out the door with that energy.

The DJ is the major, he's the main deal when you fool around in a club.

He handles the vibe, man.

A professional knows how to handle the vibe.

And by the way, bankrupting that business.

Them people don't really want you down there in no way.

So you ain't gonna hurt them, man.

The people that's coming through there spending money, they ain't gonna miss no Negroes going down into the alley or whatever you call the place, whatever you call it, the garage.

So they're not gonna miss that money.

The hi-hat, matter of fact, what's his name?

The hi-hat.

He had a hi-hat over on Beliche three years ago, right on 35th and Beliche.

Remember the hi-hat was right there?

Yeah.

Yeah.

So anyways, man, I just thought I would throw that in.

You ain't gonna bank with that.

They really don't want you down there, man.

I mean, we are, and I'm not gonna do my people, man.

You know what's going on here.

We have people that are operating on a control that makes things look pretty bad for us, man.

So I mean, they don't want that.

If I had a club, I would play blues and jazz.

And then, you know, on certain nights, I would probably tell my DJ, sneak some of that mess in.

But I wouldn't be, I would never, ever have them people, have them people banging their heads off.

Now we did a thing and it was 35 and up.

Anybody under 35 had to be accommodated by a parent or a guardian.

If you're under

35, you're accommodated by a parent.

I'm

Keith B. Parris

grown grown at 35.

I look up here bringing my mother.

So I can get in there.

That was that was that was the

detour.

Oh, you don't know.

So that that was the that that was the requirement.

35 and up May.

If you if you if you under 35 you got to be accommodated by a parent or a guardian.

Keith B. Parris

I just you know and there's a part of me again that that is not you know I don't kick it there.

But you know I would

I agree with you, and I know that black people, and I'm trying not to be pejorative, and I'm trying not to be stereotypical, right?

But I think you hit it on the head when you first call.

The music sets the tone of what type of crowd is going to be attracted, right, to that particular bar.

Now, we can sit up here and talk, and you talk about head banging music, right?

So if you have a bar that's doing punk,

You know, and I don't know if punk is even still a thing in terms

of I'm listening to punk, but I'm just saying it

attracts people and I just I mean, you know and we know what's happening and that's that's that's And again, I'm trying not to be stereotypical But if you looking at some of the instances You know, that's why it's so difficult for and I'm gonna say clubs not so much bars where people are regulars because

It begins to attract.

The music does attract a certain demographic of people.

And with that demographic of people comes a could become certain behaviors.

What you have to realize

too when it comes down to Milwaukee artists, what if they beefing with somebody else?

You understand if they beefing, then it brings the beef.

You can have this tracks.

from other artists around the state.

But if you got, if you beefing with somebody and they play in that particular music, then guess what happens, man?

Things jump off.

Man, that's true.

That's true.

Keith B. Parris

That's true.

No, I see the point he's making.

No, no, no, hold on.

Hold on right now.

The point he's making is that some people take this drama that ain't everybody, but some people take the drama.

into public spaces that impact other people.

And then if part of the attraction is like Water Street, part of the attraction is anytime you tell people no, they want to do yes.

And so you say like,

you know, because I don't understand,

like I'll give you another

example.

Keith B. Parris

What happened at State Fair?

One of the reasons why you no longer have a midway at Summerfest was remember back in the day the midway was free.

Right?

Brothers,

listen, listen, the summer fest was where we went.

No black people even went to the state fair.

You, you went to the state fair.

You do about three, three or four black people in that whole fair.

Black people never went to the state

Keith B. Parris

fair.

I'm telling you though, anytime you do something like a free midway, one of the reasons why Greek Fest is now in Waukesha for many years, they had that midway there, right?

When they

were 90 or

swan.

right they had the midway but what attracts people to the midway is it's inexpensive it's going to attract kids right you know 80-year-olds ain't riding roller coasters so then there's a problem and unfortunately there's a body of work that supports hey maybe we so summerfest was like you know what did not pay it even to get into summerfest because it kind of had an off the grounds it wasn't part of the country's

work the summerfest was it was up was was an offshoot of

I'm

Keith B. Parris

talking about the midways.

I'm talking about for free or relatively cheap.

Young people don't have the same disposable income that adults have.

If you sit up here trying to open up a club, they directed at our age group.

That club is open up for people between 18 and 35 because 18 and 35 years is still drinking.

They're still partying.

They party at a higher level than people who are in their 40s and 50s.

But here's the problem with that.

Then you bring in all the elements, right?

You know, like, like you, so it's, it's, and I don't, and it ain't because we're black, but I'm just saying that it does appear to be

like, if you just go into a bar to

chill.

Is it because of the culture?

I don't know if it's because of the culture.

I just think that.

No, no, no, no, no, we got to narrow it down to something.

You know what?

I don't know if you've ever read or saw the movie Founder.

which is about Ray Crock and the McDonnell brothers out in San Diego.

Now this is back in the 50s.

They realized that because, and I didn't realize this back in the day, they had a jukebox and they had a cigarette machine, right?

And so it would attract young people.

Now they have to deal with the problems of young people congregating, not necessarily spending money, but congregating there and everything that goes along.

Now this is in white San Diego.

So I'm just saying that when you, when you, if you're out kind of trying to cater to 18 to 35 year olds, that's, there's a reason why none of these clubs were survived for a long time because of the problems that 18, and it ain't just in black communities.

It's the problem that people have because these folks are still minds and not form.

People come in, the attention, when you look at a lot of behavior, these young folks, it's attention man.

You know, like that little TikTok,

Instagram posting,

Keith B. Parris

all those things.

So part of me

was going, if I just

wanted to go and chill at the garage, I'm sitting up and going like, why are you playing trap music?

But there's people there who feel like, and the louder the better, that they're at a party.

Some of us just don't think that that's a party.

I

don't know.

You talked about hard rock music.

Hard rock music and rap music are twin brothers.

Let there be no uncertainty that they are in opposition of each other.

One promotes violence to another human being, and the other one promotes self violence.

All you have to do is look at some of the rock videos.

They dizzy, dizzy, dizzy on a building.

Suicidal self, self destruction and rap promotes violence to another human being.

Then when it comes down to the Epstein files, everybody that was on the Epstein file was not pedophilia.

I mean, not involved with pedophilia.

The man had whatever you wanted on that island.

Now, you do know that they're looking at what's going on under the island now.

They're saying that there was a submarine.

They said that there's a submarine base or something that they had under there.

So, you know, it's a lot of stuff going on.

You've got everything right.

You know, so, I mean, just without a loan, why was it a submarine?

substation or something under there.

They figured it out now.

But anyway, man, I don't know any facts on that.

That's just something that I heard of.

And I'm really trying to find your time.

I'm looking through it a little bit in more depth.

But the man had everything.

He wasn't just kids, man.

The man, just like when we was kids, we used to go fishing over there at Lake Geneva.

Remember the Playboy Lions was out there, the grown folks put us out there on the fishing bank.

and all the players be hanging out around, you know, where he first started at in late Geneva.

Did we be fishing for blue gills and croppies at night in the grown folks over there?

What is that?

Keith B. Parris

What does that do where we talk

about?

At the Playboy Club.

So, hey, listen, all of that stuff, man.

You know, hey, listen, let me get out of here, man.

I appreciate you.

I appreciate you.

I

Keith B. Parris

don't know what that had to do with, OK.

No, I mean, I think, remember, what is the spot out in the Golden Nest?

They had to put a sign up if you smell like we You know, they're not gonna allow you to come in And they were black folks arguing.

Oh, this is culture and this is discrimination Please Nobody want to smell yo we that that you in a public space with other folks I just get so frustrated with selfish as people so who believe that they're the only people in the world

If everything and everybody evolves

around them, that is not, that's crazy.

See, but that's two sides to that thought.

And I do understand what you're saying, because again, that side is valid.

However, the reason why people equal that to, you know, they put that to being black peoples.

go to is because that's the stereotype around black people.

Because when you think of we, you think of black people.

I know.

Well, no, no, but I'm saying the majority of the No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

You smell it like weed.

We don't want that in there, which again, I'm not pushing back because I do understand that.

But what about the people coming in that just stood right outside of the door and smoke the nasty marble or smoke the nasty cigarette?

You still got that nasty smell on you.

But they don't say nothing about that because in reality, when you look at cigarette smoking from the people that's come from the street is equal to white people compared to weed that's equal to black people.

So that's why people are pushing back.

Black people don't smoke new ports.

But what I'm saying is coming in smelling like they smoke new ports.

But Keith, come on, man.

You're not green, man.

You know that when you have a situation like that.

Yes, I am.

When you have a situation like that, weed and cigarettes.

You know what?

Black people are more.

My

Keith B. Parris

buddy pointed this out to me.

Baby, 75% are higher of the staff.

in the Department of Health and Human Services in our division, we're black.

So when you talk about disciplining, of course the majority of people being disciplined is black, but that's in proportion to the population.

If you are, and I'm gonna try to be careful on this, if the only people coming in there smelling like weed, if the only people,

That is not discriminatory.

It just so happens that some people who just happen to be black Come in the joint smelling like weed like if how do we already and then to put it on us like we're ready to dust dust

normal No, that ain't normal.

Yeah, but hold on.

I do have to say this now in my street days What would happen?

You would hang out you would get up in the morning do whatever you gonna do.

You will smoke weed You would go get breakfast.

That was the dope man's routine.

Keith B. Parris

Okay,

so But what would happen is you will see majority of black people That was smoke weed and go get something to eat because of course after you smoke that you get the munchies And white people hold on weed smokers get it that is true But what you would see is majority of black

which then again turned the stereotype towards us.

So that's why it's so many.

Maybe in that

Keith B. Parris

restaurant.

Okay.

Keith B. Parris

But restaurants where white people frequent, people got high, got the munchies,

and they went there too.

Yeah, but you don't see the signs saying, okay, we don't want that in here.

You don't see that.

Well,

Keith B. Parris

first of all, because we need to know that in the environment.

This is in our environment.

Let me ask this question.

It hit me.

Okay, I got one more minute.

It hit me.

If you came in to first Baptist, Milwaukee, smelling like weed, and then people would put a sign up because, well, probably wouldn't we want you to come as you are, right?

I'm saying that people would go because I don't want, one of the reasons why we don't smoke indoors anymore was because of the complaints of non-smokers being exposed to the smoke.

Right, so, okay.

So if it's complaints, so.

So I go outside the door and come back in smelling just like

it.

Keith B. Parris

Smelling like it is real different in terms of, first of all, weed is more pungent than tobacco.

No, it ain't.

Keith B. Parris

It is.

No, it ain't.

No, it's not,

man.

Weed is more pungent than tobacco.

Come on, right now.

Wait, wait, wait, hold on.

Even though, wait, no, no, no, seriously.

Come on.

Even though it might stink to some, like, smell like roll keel, that when you look at cigarette smoke, cigarette smoke and all of that tobacco,

It's a terrible smell, bro.

It's a terrible.

Keith B. Parris

That's

that's not what

Keith B. Parris

I said.

Did you hear the word I used?

It's the same thing.

No, it's not.

Keith B. Parris

It's not the same difference.

It is

Keith B. Parris

more.

It is more pungent.

No, it's not because to the to the people that don't smoke.

What is one of

Keith B. Parris

the descriptors that they have in marijuana?

What does it call loud?

What?

Keith B. Parris

No, no, what is loud?

Man, man.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

No, but it smells.

That's what people named it.

Cause it's the name, cause it's the love.

But you can name

Keith B. Parris

cigarettes that though.

Cigarette smoking, the smoke smell from cigarettes.

Now people don't like any smoke.

If you don't like that, like for example, a cigar is more pungent than a cigarette, right?

But weed is more pungent.

If I'm smoking a blunt, not only do I have the

weed,

Had a cigar no bro, but you don't smell the cigar Keith I'm trying to figure out why this why there were people because

Keith B. Parris

I don't see this for the culture what I see this is that people are Not mindful that you're going into a shared space I get but what people are doing and so how do you put it on black folks if the only people coming in doing it if

And I use the word if a big word, if the only people coming in, look, the only dog that hollers when you throw a rock in a dark room is the one they got hit.

And so who's out there complaining about it?

It wasn't white people.

It was black people.

It's not a dark room, Keith.

It's as plain as you can see, because again, because again, when you look at how white people see us, they see us as weed smokers.

That's how white people see

us.

Let me let me give y'all something to think about y'all going break What will happen when they do legalized weed?

Keith B. Parris

It could be the same thing because but then you can't smoke it is legal yet.

You cannot smoke inside

But you can come

Keith B. Parris

out smelling like it, but you don't smell the same as you do with weed man

Come on, man.

Really bro to people that don't smoke cigarettes.

That's the state.

It stands out.

I've done both.

And but I don't smoke cigarettes.

I've done both.

So what I'm saying is how do you know how bad the smell is because because the wind because we're debauched that outside.

Why would you call me?

People know people smoke.

So we're debauched that you listen to community.

It doesn't make me feel sick.

That's what I'm saying.

Keith B. Parris

Yeah.

But if he smoked weed outside, that would have a very different smell.

than if he smoked a cigarette.

They are not the same, man.

But we're going to have it when they legalize it.

I didn't say it

was the same.

I didn't say it was the same smell.

But however, cigarette tobacco stank, bro.

And when you like tobacco, it stinks.

It has a terrible smell to it.

Keith B. Parris

All right.

You're listening

to a community voice.

The phone lines are

open.

Keith B. Parris

Oh man, there's words I'm trying not to use.

Let's not

break, man.

Yeah, because there's some words I've tried

not to use.

Because we have FCC requirements.

And I don't

want this station to lose us

life.

We'll be right back.

Listen out!

Listen out!

We have been in business here for 14 years.

I believe the rivers are the cleanest they've ever been.

We get lots of people on our rivers in canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards.

People are happy to be here and it's growing every year.

We love our partnership with Violia.

They help the kayak company grow.

I definitely don't think we would be here without Violia and MMSD.

Clean water is essential.

When we wanted to expand access for folks in need of bikes, we turned to Veolia.

The result of the new Veolia EcoPass program that has dramatically increased access to our bike share system for folks all throughout our community.

Connecting students to schools, people looking for work with employers, the community with parks.

Thanks to our partnership with Veolia, Bubbler Bikes is serving more people than ever before.

Those are Milwaukee values.

I'm Jim Playset.

I'm the executive director of the Historic Third Ward Association and also a resident of the Historic Third Ward.

Somebody's got to manage this, right, and care for our waterways and care for the treatment of our waterways.

We couldn't do it without MMSD and Veolia.

They've just been a great partner as long as I've known them.

It's just been an amazing recovery for this body of water.

MMSD and Veolia have been a big part of getting that cleaned and enjoyable for all of us.

Keith B. Parris

All right, I calm down.

Me and Clark went to the car.

We

better now.

Save me.

I'm

Keith B. Parris

back.

We're back, man.

I'm just saying, man, it is that Chris Rock joke from the 90s, grand opening, grand closing.

And it is some folks who just, they take drama, man.

I mean, it's kind of unfortunate.

If and I use the word again big word if if if the people who are doing it look a certain way If if Caller welcome to the program.

Good morning.

Good

Keith B. Parris

morning.

Hello Okay

marijuana smell and cigarette smell.

So, but here's my somewhat of a contingency.

And when you say pungent, I understand that it has something to do with the sense of it.

But when it comes to a cigarette in marijuana, the potent chemical that exists in the marijuana is the THC.

And when it comes to cigarettes, there's over 2,000 chemicals that are used

in industry, in the chemical industry and in various aspects of life when it comes to the production of petroleum, plastics, and stuff like that.

And me, I would rather smell a marijuana smell than a cigarette smell because I know that from the cigarette, I'm being exposed to a variety of things that you probably can't even pronounce.

with the technical times that apply to the chemical consistency of a cigarette.

And then another thing with cigarettes over a period of time, they cause you to lose your teeth.

And I have a relative and they're younger than me.

And because they've smoked so long

Keith B. Parris

or whatnot, they

don't have any front teeth anymore.

Keith B. Parris

But Christopher, we're not arguing about the health impact.

We're talking about now this idea

that if people don't want to be in a space where they're smelling marijuana.

I understand.

Let me say this too,

Mr. Pierce.

Like I heard Brother Rato speaking about, because some people, everybody that hangs out around people who smoke marijuana don't smoke marijuana.

So it could probably get in your clothes, your hair, and stuff like that because the person that smokes cigarettes

I can't stand the smell of it, but when I, if I'm around them for too long, that stuff is, it sticks to

you.

And then people smell you and they'll look at you and think you use some cigarette chimney or something like that.

And like, I don't smoke cigarettes, but I also smoke premium

Keith B. Parris

water

though.

Keith B. Parris

So I'm on premium water.

The question is to share.

Thank you.

Not so much whether or not you should use it or, I mean, I just think that it,

you know, the people who were sitting up here and then I think, well, if you ain't doing it, why are you talking about

it?

Because you know somebody that is.

Keith B. Parris

Okay.

All right.

And then because I, you know, when we could smoke indoors, I used to hate and I was smoking Newport's.

I used to hate when people were smoking, when I was eating, I didn't want to smell it.

Yeah.

You know, I mean, so I think that that space, but I'm like, like cigarettes, you know, it is there.

but it's not there like if you especially if you smoke a blunt because tobacco pure tobacco because that's the difference between a cigar and a cigarette a cigar is natural there's nothing at well some of these black and miles but

i'm just saying

Keith B. Parris

but i'm just saying if you went and got a regular cigar it is natural right the the leafing is natural what they wrap it in is natural so it's different but it still has a very pungent smell

And I'm saying when you mix that with marijuana, how do we know somebody, if marijuana was such a innocuous smell, how would we know when people were smoking?

Because you could smell it, man.

I remember, hold on.

I was just at an event we had over at summer 82.

We were downstairs.

This dude came in before

he got down the stairs.

Because he probably just got out of the car smoking and just put it out.

That's the point, though.

The point is, what I'm arguing is not because you black,

I just, people just don't want to smell it.

I get it, but what I'm pushing back and saying is this, Keith, if I go over to the gas station right now and grab a Philly wrap, split it open and take the tobacco out and just light the paper, you are not going to smell anything that smells like marijuana or even anything that smells like a cigarette.

It's going to smell like burnt paper.

It's going to smell like a burnt leaf.

If I take all of the substance out of that filly, dump it and just like the paper, you're not, it's no indication.

But here's the question,

Keith B. Parris

Jermaine.

The question is, is it discriminatory to say that if you smell like weed, that you will not be allowed admittance?

Is that discriminatory

because people are black?

Again, what I'm saying is white people equate weed smoking.

to blacks.

That's why, again, if you ask me, that's why they really don't want to

pass this

law to legalize the weed,

because it would have

to free, but it would have to free some of these black people.

White people smoke weed at the same frequency as black folks.

But look at the synthesis that white people has got that might smoke the same weed.

Okay, here's my

Keith B. Parris

question.

If the people

It should only affect the people coming in there smelling like weed.

And if only people could, if, and I use the word again, if the only people coming in there smelling like weed is black, it's not because you black, it's because you smell like

weed.

I understand what you're saying.

And so for here, black people out here try to make an argument about the culture.

Bro, that's just like, okay, here we go.

That's just like with the music down at the garage.

You got white rap artists that talk about gun and violence.

Yes.

Why wasn't they on the list?

Good question.

I agree with my point.

My agree.

I agree with you.

So it's my point of what I'm saying is is pointed towards us because you got white rap artists that I'm sure that I know of myself that talk about zebra.

We that talk about the drugs that talk about violence, but they wasn't ex from the list

Keith B. Parris

zebra.

I disagree with that.

Most black people have a very cute.

I sense a smell ain't no different than anybody else's sense of smell.

Come on, man.

It depends on

what you

Keith B. Parris

know.

It depends on what you indulge in.

Because

for me, I don't smoke cigarettes.

We have we have an acute sense of smell that makes us different.

That is not true.

No, I agree with you.

But what I'm saying for me to what makes me different from the next man is if the next man smokes cigarettes and don't smoke weed, right?

So if I light up.

Some weed it's gonna stand out to him because he don't smoke it Compared to if I light up a cigarette.

It's gonna interview smoke weed You know it has its own distinct.

Isn't that the terpen's in there that gives it is distinct I get it, but what I'm I'm not talking about the older keep the smell but what I'm saying Keith is When you have a person that light a cigarette who don't smoke weed

We smell is going to stick out to that person.

Just like for me, I don't smoke cigarettes.

But if a person like a cigarette, you can be around the corner.

If you like a cigarette, I can smell it because my nose is sensitive to that because I don't.

And depending on the weed,

Keith B. Parris

you smoke and you

would smell it four blocks away.

I'm

Keith B. Parris

just arguing.

The argument that I'm making is that is it discriminatory?

to say I have a, you have a policy.

Now, if the people coming in there smoking like we just happen to be black, it is that policy is not directed at black people.

It's directed at people who smoke or

smell like we when they walk into golden nests.

That is true.

But what I'm saying is I'm trying to get you to see the other side of the piece of paper.

When you look at

The most people that are incarcerated for marijuana is black.

That's a different thing.

Hold on.

That's a different thing.

Wait, just follow.

You're talking about enforcement of the law.

Keith B. Parris

I'm talking about, even though it's illegal, people are still smoking it, obviously, and people are still going in.

So whether it's legal or not, it's not the question that you do.

It is how people react to that particular smell, okay?

I mean, that, and look, the majority of Americans don't smoke cigarettes, right?

that there are a lot of people got a problem with cigarette smell.

But obviously the weed smell because, look, Golden Ness wants your money.

But if the weed smell is sitting up where people sit up here saying, I'm not going to come up in here because the smell is a certain way, that impacts their bottom

line.

Keith B. Parris

So who are the people saying they're not coming up in there?

White people?

I don't know.

A lot of black people would have a problem with people smelling like weeds sitting across from them.

That ain't, see what, that ain't for the culture.

What's causing them to say?

Is it that people are complaining?

Why black people complain about people smelling like we I haven't heard

Keith B. Parris

But people who could smoke might have an issue with

it.

We just talked

Keith B. Parris

about, we just talked about you this morning because right now brought up his macaroni and cheese recipe

again.

Hey, good morning, Mr. Chocolate Superman.

How you doing, sir?

I'm doing all right.

Where you at?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey, Keith.

I'm not going to take no sides.

Come on now, Keith.

Come on now, man.

I've been doing that.

Jermaine, right off, he's right.

Because back in the days, Keith, for real, the people were smoking cigarettes and stuff.

It's just as nasty as weed and stuff.

And especially when we used to back in the days, we didn't step on it.

Right.

Right.

You add chemicals and stuff like that.

Nobody

Keith B. Parris

steps on weed.

No, you

Keith B. Parris

step

on

cocaine.

Yes, they do

Keith B. Parris

that.

Come

Keith B. Parris

on.

Yes, they

do.

Yes, they do.

They step all over you.

They

Keith B. Parris

can do infusion, but ain't nobody stepping on weed.

Doc, yes they are.

Keith B. Parris

The word step on means that in that you're adding to in order to split it up and make the heroin or cocaine go further.

They are adding to it, Keith.

Oh, come on.

It's all down the road.

Does that impact the smell?

Yes, it does.

I'm not trying to be disrespectful, sir.

Would you please let me finish my conversation?

Keith B. Parris

No.

That's OK.

Don't get me started.

Don't get me started, Keith.

But no, Keith, like I said, I'm not taking nobody's side.

We'll keep you right at our Jermaine Wright office right now.

because when it comes to marijuana, man, yeah, they put chemicals in it and stuff

like that.

What does that have to do with

the smell, man?

Keith, what I'm trying to say, I'm trying to say, sir, cigarettes were just as nasty like Jemaine right off here.

It was just as nasty.

As a matter of fact, I was serving in Vietnam, sir.

Did you serve in Vietnam?

No, I didn't.

That idea.

Well, I'm gonna say, Mr. Keith Parris,

that when I was serving in Vietnam, sir, they took away mythol in Vietnam.

You know why?

Because mythol was kind of like a attitude of, you know, to get high on.

So they stopped selling mythol cigarettes in Vietnam when it was smoking cigarettes.

Keith B. Parris

The R.G.T.

and Ride Out is way more pungent than cigarette smoke.

Is weed?

Is we more punty?

We're not talking about

Keith B. Parris

Yes, we are.

Yes, we are.

Right

Keith B. Parris

now, Mr.

T. Parris, there are white people in Madison trying to get the veterans and stuff like that served to deal with the injuries and stuff like that with hemp.

With hemp, okay?

So excuse me, Mr. T. Parris, what you trying to say about cigarettes?

Cigarettes and alcohol?

The

Keith B. Parris

impact of it we're talking

Thank you.

Thank you, Jermaine.

But Mr. Keith Parris, like I said, I'm trying not to get on nobody's side.

I'm just trying to be fair about this.

Keith B. Parris

Okay.

Mr. Keith Parris, cigarettes and alcohol are always being the worst of the worst.

And marijuana stuff like that, not only trying to use it in nimbistical ways, from medication and stuff like that, Mr. Keith Parris.

So, on what I want to say, sir, like I'm saying, I'm not going to take no sides, but

He's a man right off, he's a right, and you're right, Keith.

I'm not gonna try to sell it a fence, okay?

But I don't wanna say from experience, sir, from experience.

When I had, when I, you just let me some marijuana back in the days, or if they had to worry about if the

seeds- Did you smell differently than when you smoked cigarettes?

Of course, I'm smoking cigarettes right now, sir.

Okay, I appreciate you.

I

Keith B. Parris

don't think you want a big Spanish holler with Acapulco gold.

I'm watching this series on Apple called Shrinking.

Shrinking with Harrison Ford and oh man, it's also on these therapists, right?

Okay, so this guy They had this big thing they happened to party So his son Who's in there do well had mixed this candy bag?

It was his candy bag, right?

His dad takes it because his mom said no, he said no, you know my sugar is low So he ate the whole bag He ate

642 milligrams of THC.

Oh, he was high.

Dude

was high.

He was, dude, he was hallucinating.

He was, oh, he was gone, man.

And they said that, and the doctors said, they said, they said they release him as soon as he can walk again.

What was that?

It was a 10-2, the weed he was smoking helped me get home.

I

hate

to go against my man Jermaine Rideout.

Well don't do it.

I love me some Jermaine Rideout.

But it's as simple as, you know how we used to smoke cigarettes?

You were allowed to smoke cigarettes inside?

You don't anymore?

Was that because of the culture?

Was that because...

No,

no, no, no, no, no, that was because of secondhand smoking people can call that you can

get cancer from.

So it was a health

issue.

No, but it wasn't a smell issue.

It was a health issue.

This is too different spectrum.

But it's two different spectrums.

Yeah.

People got tired of it being.

Because

people was dying from secondhand smoke.

I don't want to die.

That's what I was going to say.

Yeah, it was secondhand smoke.

So it wasn't from the smell because people were smelling it all day.

It was that they realized that people was dying because Keith might want to smoke.

I don't want to die because he can smoke.

I can tell you, basically,

is

this your payback?

Yeah, Doc, I got to get you back.

I put the black cover on your chair.

He

used my name for three days, so sweet.

Because of Keith.

He caught it real cool.

Did I say anything about Keith?

You know what basically what started that is the restaurant.

Back in the day, all the restaurants, you could say that the fire smoked.

Yeah,

yeah.

So they would get in the room and it would feel like the room.

I get all of

that.

I did all of that, but was it because of the culture?

No.

No,

it wasn't because of

the culture.

But again, doc, you plan two different ball games here, and that ain't fair.

No, I'm just saying

Keith B. Parris

that now that we have this smoke-free environment, we

are

Keith B. Parris

more apt to smell different smells than we did when you were in there smoking.

I mean, so that's not the issue.

And I don't know why people won't accept

that there is a different odor and that marijuana is a stronger odor than cigarettes.

It really

is.

Keith B. Parris

Cigars is a stronger

odor than cigarettes.

So you mean to tell me 2000 some odd chemical?

Pipe smoking is a different odor because of what's burning.

Well, regardless of what's burning, the question is, is there a difference?

Yes.

And again, if you look at 2000,

plus chemicals that's burning at one time, compared to one, you go have more.

I mean, think about it.

I'm not so smart,

man.

I'm not so... Wait a minute.

Hey, kiddie.

Hey, kiddie.

He gonna drop some

science soda.

When you go out

to eat, do you want to smell that?

I don't want to smell nothing but my food.

Oh, okay.

Exactly.

I don't even want to smell.

I don't even want to smell your cheap cologne or the cheap perfume.

I want to smell my food.

But however.

Right.

Your room 45.

Keith B. Parris

But even, you know, cause we talk about odors, like my wife, like you come with a lot of cologne and perfume.

It sits off, it sits

off her allergies.

No, your allergies.

Keith B. Parris

So I mean, I understood, but the question was, and it kind of gives back to, because I got to go.

The question was, do people look, if people come in and there's an over, because look, the majority of people do not smoke cigarettes, right?

Right.

So, but I'm saying, so if Jermaine comes to smell like cigarettes is not the same as Keith coming in.

smelling like weed because people found out about it because it's illegal.

No, it's illegal because even if it was legal, people would have a problem with it.

Okay, so they don't like the smell.

So a lot of people don't like the smell of weed.

Okay.

What's the strongest?

What's the strongest?

May I want a cigar?

Both of Pungent.

But you got 2000 plus chemicals.

That's more than compared to one.

Come on, man.

I know y'all gotta

go but domain domain

Next time, lift the 2,000 chemicals in it, all right?

Yeah.

Right now, right now, 1,900.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

I ain't gonna go 2,000 day two.

Hey, 1,998 of them ain't gonna go 2,000, but I can say this.

1,999 of those chemicals.

I gotta get about

Keith B. Parris

it.

Get in here if you can.

All right.

Yeah, you're just starting

Keith B. Parris

something.

No, man.

He couldn't name one of the chemicals.

Hey, say what?

It's $2,000.

Give me what?

$2,000.

That's all you need to

know.

That's all you need

to

know.

Hey, I gotta say it.

Sackle, crackle, brookle.

That's it.

All of

those

big words.

That don't smoke me in your

Keith B. Parris

body.

It's true.

I would want to smell Jame's high karate on here.

Hey y'all, let me say, Clark Kent, thank you.

Thank you, man.

Hey,

Jermaine, thank you as always.

Callers, hey, tomorrow I'll be gone, but we'll be able to be manned here on Community Voice by Devon Jones, DJ to Brother Jay, and my favorite niece, because she might be listening, Mr. Parris Sapple.

Hey, y'all, the good Lord Willie Cook, don't rise.

I hope to talk to everybody on

Monday.

Remember that

number,

2,000.

No, I'm playing brother Christopher for that because he gave him the staff.

Sigh

Keith B. Parris
