Wisconsin's Political Showdown: Tiffany vs. Crowley Debate Drama

Community Voice · Wed Sep 9, 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, Debo. How are you, sir? I am blessed and highly favored. Apostle. Well, you know, a sandwich ain't a sandwich without bread. A sandwich ain't what? A sandwich ain't a sandwich without bread, Brent. I thought that was, I thought that was Miracle Whip.

That too. You do need miracle. I wouldn't do a miracle with I hate miracle with it was too light. What do you use Keith? Sounds great mayonnaise. Mail just regular mail. Yeah. My mother didn't like mail so and I got old enough to get you know, I eat mail. As a matter of fact, one of my roommates called me mail because I ate so much mayonnaise on the same like on every sandwich I had mail man. I think that the best

Out at the mayonnaise and all of that is sandwich spread. I love oh, yes, and we're spread. Yeah, sandwich spread is the man I think that that's really what's supposed to be on your sandwich is to spread the mayonnaise You know I think that's for the boozy people. Okay. Thank you, brother Keep it for the people for the proletariat

Anyway, good morning y'all four lines open four one four four four four five two five zero four one four four four five two five zero Let me I'm gonna get to the brewers, but I want to do this little political piece It just came out that the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association has cancelled their gubernatorial debate

David Crowley committed but Tiffany hasn't or didn't Now that just raises a couple of red flags for me one Why wouldn't Tiffany want to debate David Crowley?

Two if you look at some of the ads that are being running and not being run now I don't know you know based on the last opinion poll that Marquette did They had Crowley up five points with likely voters. They were even with registered voters and So my question is why doesn't Tom Tiffany want to be on the same stage as David Crowley now

based on some of the ads that I see running, you know, in terms of appealing, and they're not even dog whistles. I mean, they're just out and out. It's racist. I use these words xenophobic. You know, they run a commercial and this is not the Tiffany campaign. It's a group support in the Tiffany campaign where they said that they show what was happening at State Fair Park. And then they talk about how

David Crowley Just raised taxes Okay So we're not even let's fact check this just for a moment first of all David Crowley can only raise taxes at the maximum at 2% Just about every governmental agency County municipality school board has gone in for tax increases because the state

either through the revenue sharing piece or underfunding education is not giving them enough. So you see, you know, we had two or three referendums just in Milwaukee County and it wasn't just Milwaukee. The other thing then they say is that then David Crowley is going to basically put Milwaukee in the state. And again, you had that image of those young kids fighting down at State Fair Park.

So either there's some internal polling telling Tiffany that hey, you know You probably just want to coast through do the attack ads Ride it through do not go face-to-face Because at some point Tom Tiffany will have to talk about his record and that's what he doesn't want to do He doesn't want to talk about his record because his record has been clearly supportive of Donald Trump

My hope is Donald Trump comes to Wisconsin, but Tom Tiffany is gonna probably politely say no, sir We're okay because Whether Tiffany likes it or not Trump is on the ballot Trump is on the ballot and everything that he's doing and the devastating impact his policies are having on many of his voters and Tom Tiffany has been supportive

Many if not all of the policies So I just thought it was curious where you wouldn't want to do a debate and almost gets back to the movie that DJ always refers to Where You know, what is it God, it's the Chris Rock movie Head of State

Oh, head of state. Yeah. Yeah. And he's trying to bait this. This white candidate looks like Tom Tiffany into debating him, but he don't want to debate him. And finally, when he insulted his mama, then he so maybe that's what she do because Tom Tiffany's mama is in his commercials. Is she? Yeah. Yeah. They, they, oh, man, they soft touch this dude where, you know, you, you have no sense of his far right policies.

As a congressperson. So yeah, and then they put his mom in and and the whole thing. Oh man, just this family guy, you know, it's like, ah, so I think that it's important and You're hearing this. This is going to be a turnout election And and so it really really saw all these folks here in Milwaukee Dane County The turnout in Milwaukee in Dane County is going to be real important

And trust me if we have another snafu like we had on election night for primary Then that's gonna give the Trump administration ample ammunition to come in and say that the election was rigged So I just thought that a little piece of it. I don't know if that most people saw that but at this point there is no televised debate And I don't know if Tom Tiffany is going to now again if the polling show so

I had a question, Keith, that he's behind. We were just talking in the lobby. And they're saying that same date, if you will, as the Milwaukee Bucks opener, there is a debate. Is this the one that you're saying is canceled? Really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wisconsin Broadcasters Association, October 9th. No, they're talking October 21st or something like that. They spoke to. No, I think channel 12. All for a debate.

Because I think the Bucks game start the season start early. Is that a preseason game? No, I'm thinking they're saying it's a home opener October 21st, right? Is there a debate scheduled for that date? No, hold on. Wait a minute. The Republican Congress in Thomas

Tom, Tiffany, and Democratic Milwaukee County executive David Crowley, a scheduled to face off and televised gubernatorial debate on Wednesday, October 21st, though a traditional debate hosted by the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association for October 9th was recently canceled. So he still will debate. It's just not through the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association. Okay, but it will be televised on channel 12. Yeah, could be. Can I say something?

And I just want to ask why did Channel 12 put that on October 21st? Because it is the season opener for the Milwaukee Bucks regular season. The game come on at six o'clock. And they own regular TV. Yeah. They own regular TV. So I'm like, I mean, I don't know and it may be a real explanation for why. Yeah. But when you talk about

messing with your ability to get that out. Well, why would you pick that particular day? It's just I'm like out of all of the days leading up to it. The Bucks home opener. The only reason well, no, they because that so the home opener is Friday. No, it's I thought the home opener is Friday, but the season opener. That first game is not home for the regular season.

Open or not? Well, it's the regular season. It's the regular season opener, but it's not home game. It's in Washington. Yeah, the home game is going to be that Friday. So I'm like, y'all going to do it between that Wednesday and that Friday? You're going to do it on a Monday. You're going to do it on Tuesday. I just thought it was the, like I said. You can do it on Monday. Or a Tuesday. He said, you, you what? You can't do it on Monday. A Tuesday, Monday night football. Oh, that's Monday night football. I'm just saying. Well, Monday night football is a little bit better. It is. The buck's open. Yeah, yeah. That's Milwaukee. No, no, no. I get it.

It's just a whole thing of the sports spectrum. And then though you have this whole debate, so now you people are going to pick and choose to what they're going to watch. Particularly since the Bucks game will already be on. It will be an hour in when they start the live debate. I just think those people that are big Bucks fans, white or black, whatever, big Bucks fans, you're.

And to me, a lot of the folks you need to help turn out, because turnout is going to be key in this race, you're going to need a lot of brothers to show up. Yeah, well, but I don't think that that's channel 12's responsibility. I think that's the candidate who is supposed to be asking about the timing. And I just want you to know what I'm saying is if you're talking about turnout.

That that even if I'm channel 12. I want to get as many people eyes on my that's the whole purpose Okay, now watching it. That's different. Yeah, if I'm telling everybody had a vested interest in trying to get the most Attendance or eyes on the show as possible exposure and thank you. Thank you. Happy this though. Nobody watching the book on January 13th or something and and what they gonna do and they plan the number one pick

which is AJ. So people going to want to watch to see what AJ going to do. Even if you're not a Bugs fan, you're going to watch the number one play. OK. Look, all I'm saying is that that was the campaign's responsibility to ask the question, why is that? And Channel 12 better have a damn good reason for why you went with October 21st. You know what? I don't think, first of all, now.

If it was the Packers playing because of the statewide piece with the Packers, yes, I think because it's the Bucks. The Bucks is a different looking team now. But that's me. So anyway, let me stand corrected. There will be a debate. It just won't be on October 9th.

It'll be on October 21st. And I will say this quickly. We were talking about it and there's been a commitment from Michelle as well as Doug. We're going to try. We're going to ask to see if we can get both candidates to come on this show or one of our shows and just do a heart to heart on restream or however we run it, whatever they commit to, just so that we give them a chance to reach our viewers and our listeners.

No, okay. Let's just let you know Keith do it. No, no, let Michelle do it. Is that you Mr. Parris? Call and welcome to the program. Good morning. What? He ain't here. He ain't here.

That sound like that's him on the phone. Hey man, they don't want to pin you already? Are you waiting to be invaded? I'm out. I'm out.

You don't know, you can't see back there. What'd you say, doc? You can feel. I appreciate you all just really taking this and putting it in the toilet. Literally. Don't say that word. Hey, he's had a close relationship with the toilet for the last 24 hours. Please don't want to hear that word.

What's good to know you're okay, man? Well good that you're still in the land of the living brother.

Clark, he has some nitric oxide. He's still high.

Everybody can get it. Time for a cousin walkie. That's how you got to do it. You got to dance. All right. Just doing this is Clark Kent got stung by a bee. Who you with? All right, man. Take care of yourself, bro.

You sound good enough to come on back to work today. I'm amazing people call it on a day all right, but in reality to what y'all don't understand we really do miss y'all don't at least I do so you know when I was in Miami for yourself when I was in Miami and I was enjoying

The beautiful babes in Miami, for some reason, y'all came across my mind. So I called to see how y'all was doing. I think I called on yourself. Yeah, you did.

Do you? Do you with me calling when I'm not here? You say, yeah, you did. I thought it was off. He on the phone. He on the phone. Why the hell he take the day off? He just came in. He couldn't just stay. That's because your man called like three times in one day. Hey man, listen. Call all the shows. See, what I don't understand is when it's me, myself, and I, and I'm at the house by myself, man.

You know calling y'all did you miss me right? All right, so Dave you back with the band right? Wow Wow

Hey, nobody paid to see you. Nobody left, man. Hey, it was taking a different approach. I said, listen here, man, if there's no pineapples and grapes in my dressing room, I'm not performing. Well, you see, there was no pineapples and grapes in there. And I didn't go for them. I did get a chance to thank my buddy Fred. I did get a chance to see the Temptation Reunion Tour. And both David Ruffin,

Eddie Kendricks and Dennis Edwards was with that so hmm. Yeah Something happened the other day and I was watching the doctor. Oh, I know exactly what it was. I was watching at the barber shop They were playing this a documentary that was done on the movie the five heartbeats all about backstories and Robert Townsend was telling this whole what he went through and so forth and And like the day after that movie

dropped Eddie Kendricks actually died, which Eddie King was based off Eddie Kendricks character. So yeah, they were showing that Dennis and and all of them showed up to the funeral and how they got together and sang one line. It was very moving documentary. If you get a chance, certainly check it out. The backstory behind, you know, that whole making of that movie. And I didn't realize it was such a flop. They lost money on that movie. Yeah, it became more video.

Yeah. Video main. So you have some movies out there man, theatrically. Nobody go see it. And then VHS. Pick it up. Back in the day. Yeah. DVD put a whole lot. There's a movie called The Stepfather. Nobody went to see that movie. It became a cult classic man. Cause you know, you go to Blockbusters. You know, you talk about back in the day, you go to Blockbusters and you know, you get it. So.

Yeah, it turned out it wasn't as bad as Meteor Man That was that was that was a horrible movie anyway. It was horrible. No, but he had an all-star Luther Vandross was in Meteor Man Meteor Man Meteor Man. Yeah. Yeah, he had Bill Cosby Man, he had he had some folks and but it was an awful movie. It was awful. He was. What were they the lords? The gang?

They were the lords. What was the movie, the new Superfly, the remake? And those dudes was in all white. Were they snow patrol? Yeah, they were. They just brought up Soul Plane. That was a horrible movie to me. Now, speaking of Soul Plane, do you ever think that

we as Black people that we would ever be able to get our own airline. Get our own what? Airline. I don't want to ride it. Well, I think that if we did have it, instead of having flight attendants, let's put some church ushers on there. And then. Let's do it. I mean, because, you know, they gon' maintain order. You messed up already. I'm saying, but they gon' maintain order. Church ushers gon' maintain order. You got mean ushers, man.

Hey, maintain the order. Sit out on this plane. We're about to take off. And then instead of, instead of giving. No gum. Give me the gum. Give me the gum. Give me the gum. The white gloves. The Himalayas back on the plane. Instead of flying to the first church. They read scripture. You can't come in. Wait. You can't walk. You can't walk. So you know how they give us instructions about the plane to flip the plane go down. Instead of doing that.

Just bring an old deacon that's been through hell and hot water.

and have him get out on that one. Everybody buy your eyes and close your eyes and buy your ears. Buy your eyes. I don't know if you want to do that on the point. Pray? I just don't know. Instead of giving instructions. Yeah, I don't know. Father, I stretch my hand to you. See you where you land. No other help, I know. Should we have some prayer? Like, oh, we flying and we need prayer? Oh, you the god. That's why I like this title.

You're the beginning and the ending. All right, you're listening. So plain. Somebody said Zebra said, how many times do you pass the offering plate just to make sure the plan lands on time? They'll keep you there. We need about three more offers. Our pilot flies around a little bit more. Interesting. I went fishing in Green Lake Monday.

and I've seen more Crowley yard signs than Tiffany. Wow. That speaks volumes. That's mid-state. Yeah, that's it. Man, I just, you know, I don't, I'm, it's, you know, and maybe that's not my gift and maybe I shouldn't try to prognosticate, but, you know, you got some of these ads, obviously the way they're running them, they must know they're effective, right? And,

for a lot of people and many voters are low they call low propensity low information voters so they're going to hear what they fear at here and the other thing is you exploit fear right so this idea uh that you know he's going to export Milwaukee to the rest of the state you know for some people now I don't know why that's so fearful um but I have a question it's Wednesday

I wonder how much of this when you see, you know, like these takeovers, when you see the kids out fighting either downtown or Water Street or State Fair, I think it's a little bit more sinister. I kind of believe that there are purposely organizing kids to do this in order to create these pictures.

But Keith I kind of believe you're you're going down a slippery slope because And I want to make sure that I'm prefaced in the right way when you when you look at the incident I mean they use clips from this most recent state fair incident To blame Crawley, yeah, calling them soft on crime, but but he's not responsible for crime No, and he's certainly not and actually

The the people responsible for the state fair is the state police. They have a whole state fair police force. Well, they put it out there that it and it happened in West Dallas. And they said, but then the officer, you know, you know, they was painting this picture that Crowley is the person that's fun. You know, it's soft on crime. Then they put it in the corner. If you pay attention to it, an officer gets punched. And then after they say that, they say, do you want that for Wisconsin? A soft.

Person on crime make so crop It's not again like Keith said he's not responsible for crime. I mean these attack ads Some of them are quite toothless if you will yeah Yeah, and I think by the time you're going in corrected. It's too late. Damage is done. Yeah, so let's pick it up. What do you think?

414-444-525-0, 414-444-525-0. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. 5 FM with your host, Keith Parrist. All right, welcome back. And the question I asked before we went to break, well, a couple of, well, the question is, and when we see some of this behavior, it seems that one, it's rather, I won't say it's organized, but it's targeted.

You know, it is it's it's like Who's suggesting that it's a great idea to show up someplace and fight and then here's the other thing you're getting maximum TV coverage, right? I'm just I'm curious, you know, that's the conspiracy in me that you know, I noticed that Whenever there's a police shooting and there's a protest You always have people showing up right like

And these are like professional agitators. So I just wonder, you know, how much of that and then how, then that is being used, right? To justify certain policies or to justify behaviors, you know, by government. I'm just wondering. Call a welcome to the program. Good morning. Good morning. Should I be concerned that I'm the only one on my block with a crawly thing or is it too early still?

Are there any Tiffany signs on your body? No, no, no. That's what I'd be considered. For like 90th in capital, that guy, he got these bigger times of Tiffany. Um, but I'm wondering, like I was at an event where David Crawley's wife was there this past weekend. It was, uh, uh, my Montgomery's event, which was really, really good. And it was around 200. I would say people, adults there.

and I might be overestimating, but it was a good crowd. She was there. And all I could think was, why would she have like little pamphlets or something like that to put inside the book bags, go to hand out to... Oh, she can't do that. Oh, they can't? No. Oh. Oh. Well, she, she gave a little presentation, but I thought, why couldn't she do that? No. Like campaign on behalf of her spouse, Michelle Obama, dude.

I don't think for that event people were there to get books. Oh, you know and he's showing up to or she's showing up to show support But I don't think that and I don't know it gets into 501c3 stat there. There's a lot There's a reason why that that didn't happen I don't put up any signs for anybody I know I and I and I don't

I don't, I try to be in this space and I don't give to political campaigns. I've been getting a lot of solicitations, but as much as I can. You vote? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. I just, I don't see it as my responsibility to campaign for folks that.

I just That's one of the reasons why I don't do it No, no, no, I just I I think That it's not for me to say who people should vote for and so it's up to the candidates Whoever they come in to be able to make their case and they don't need any editorial editorializing from me

in terms of what we do. So I don't look, I have not missed an election since 1983. I voted every election. So no, I just don't, I think, you know, because then people come back and go, well, you know, he gave $500 to the Jermaine Rideout campaign. So I don't know how you could be fair. And then I have to even be careful, even in talking about the government.

governor's race because I have a business relationship with the county. So technically, David Crowley would be my boss. So, um, no, I just don't do it. Okay. I just wanted to ask for the conversation about the yard sign. I found that it was, it's kind of eerie spooky, but then I know Milwaukee will turn out. I just don't want to take it for granted that they're counting on our votes. And then when I saw his spouse, I was like, why is he?

Hi, but I didn't get the whole 503 nonprofit thing. So thanks for the explanation. And go, baby, Carly. All right. Carla, welcome to the program. Good morning. Good morning. First thing I want to say, before anybody puts something in front of their house, they need to be getting something before they vote. Because we're not getting anything for our vote. And we need to start weaponizing our votes.

And Mr. Parris, this is what I want to say very respectfully. We don't care if your mama had seven kids and didn't pay her rent. What are we getting for our vote? We don't care if you had junkies in the house and they did good dope on Friday. I know those dope on Sunday. What are we getting for our vote? We don't care if your mama had an abortion, your body, your choice. What are we getting for our vote? We don't care if you're from capital.

Atkinson, Chambers, Columbia, Santa, Locust, Keith, or Concordia. What are we getting for our vote? When we started giving something for our vote, maybe we'll put, maybe we will put something in our yard because we're not getting anything for our vote. Furthermore, if they're going to blame Quali for being, for crying, and we're talking standards, right? Where we all created equal, correct? Right.

Okay, well, big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and

sitting in the toilet with Dinky sitting in our banding house. Have you ever smell a rotten piss when you pull it up to our banding house? You can smell it when you open the car door, okay? Have a safe, a good morning. Bye bye. Okay, I'm a little confused by the call, but I'm always confused. Okay.

And right out you did get an answer to your question. Which one? About black airline? Oh, about the airline, yeah. Now, I know that it was this black guy from Atlanta that was trying to buy Spirit and they wouldn't let him buy it. So he could have won it. Huh? He probably didn't want it. No, he did though. He was going to put an organ in there and a pulpit.

And, you know, when they allow United and American basically to put all these other smaller airlines out of business, you know, that just made people, I was talking to my niece who was in town this weekend, and I was just telling her, you know, our experience coming back on American was awful. First of all, they jam packed these planes, right? I mean, just fill them with people. It's uncomfortable.

No leg room, they reduced the leg room that you have in there so they can get more people on the plane. Man, it will almost look like we're in India. You see people in India on the trains where you got people riding on the top of the train and hanging all out. That's how I feel like when you get in, it's like, yeah, what? But shout out to the brother. And just so you are right out at ask the question about black on airlines.

and Warren Hervey Wheeler on Wheeler Airlines, which was the first black-owned commercial airline certified by the FAA in the United States. Who was Warren Wheeler? As noted by the Sullenberger Aviation Museum in 1969, Warren Hervey Wheeler founded Wheeler Airlines. He was born in Durham, North Carolina, in 1943. He became the first black pilot for Piedmont. I remember Piedmont Airlines in 1966.

It started as Wheeler Flying Service, offering training in charter flights. The airline grew to connect small towns, major cities, including Routes to New York, Atlanta, Atlantic City. It helped train many black pilots and open doors in the aviation industry before closing in 1991. So thank you.

So you asked a question brother and then all the information gets out into the community Appreciate you brother. Good job, brother. You know sometimes, you know, you got to wait on the answer NFL starts tonight Thursday Wednesday, who play with it? I think tonight they played in Australia. Oh It's gonna be Thursday. Oh, okay. Okay, right. So they starting Australia and then I don't know then you have the matchup

Don't the Packers got an overseas game this year? I wonder if they do. I think it's in London or something like that. Oh, let's see. NFL. First game. Wow. Man, the season. Well, here it is, man. You know, once football starts in about two and a half weeks is when you start seeing the colors on the trees.

No, the game tomorrow is in Australia. Tonight is a rematch of the Super Bowl, New England Patriots versus Seattle Superhawks. So they started the season early. Yeah, early, I guess, early and earlier, man. You know, just money, that television money. Greed. Yeah. So I won't go too much on the shield. But let me, well, I don't know if y'all watching the Brewers.

Man, that walkoff again, two nights in a row. Wow. Two nights in a row. Cheerio. And again, this is what I was saying. Now, you got to get them power hitters in there because when you need to get them runs in and hitting home runs and like in the playoffs is when it really counts. So we need that because you in the playoffs, you have to capitalize off of mistakes.

Because whichever team capitalized off of the mistakes, it's going to be the team that's going to win the series. Because it's less mistakes in playoff baseball. So when they do make that mistake, you've got to capitalize. I think it was, the pitching was good last night. Both teams. Because Boyd really, he shut him down. Was it Boyd last night? I think it was Boyd.

But I would have thought man when Miguel came in and he got in trouble Yeah in the ninth inning I didn't know if it was gonna come back, but again You know the whole strategy is get to the coach bullpen and it that has proven to be successful in terms of Brewers getting timely hits, but Yeah, do a walk-off Luna Is that the name Luna?

Yeah, yeah, yeah He doesn't speak English and But his manager said I got confidence in you he didn't have to hit a home run just hit a base hit the bases were loaded Yeah, and let me I have not been watching this dude, but Ben Shelton He beat Alcares last night in the US Open

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah. And then let's see. It's going to be Cocoa Golf. And I'm trying to think. So there, there, there potentially could be Americans in the finals. This year, that hadn't happened for a long time. So anyway, phone lines open 4144445250414444.

five, two, five, zero. Let's see, riding piss here. Yeah, that whole thing, people were talking about how, and it just came up here, how they're darkening David Crowley, which is crazy. Also, I saw that documentary that Michelle was talking about. Yeah, I saw that.

this dude and He gives these three young white women $45,000 a piece last year for Christmas one of them being Natalie Harp 45,000 Wow this dude if if y'all don't think it's important to vote Just watch the news

Just watch the news if you don't think it's important to vote just watch the news. It's amazing. It's amazing what? You know, you know part of Lonnie bunch leaving I Was listening last night and they were talking about how they want to Change this narrative around the Civil War Where you know, it was a what do they call it like this hole either or

didn't know Slavery was unequivocally evil and wrong Slavery throughout history has always been evil and wrong and For people to try to rewrite history First of all, they're already pulling back on what these folks did was success succession, right? They tried to leave the country and talk about the Confederate States

you know of america the south so these people were treasonous and now we have this whole revisionist history where oh it was just a little dispute no no no and and it's all this little pecking away at real history right and and and so we need to know the history starts there with us

That's our responsibility because obviously if you're thinking other people are going to give you your history accurately, you're deceiving yourself, right? This whole thing with white supremacy is real. And that's what we're going to. That's what they're appealing. That's all they have because the policies are bankrupt. Republican policies are bankrupt.

and in some ways are bankrupt in the country. That big beautiful bill was gone in and given away all these taxes and now you gotta figure out how do we gain revenue? Because we give a tax cut, that means taxes are not coming in. At the same time, you have a government to run. So right now, they're nibbling around the edges. One of the things they do is you go in, you don't cut the program, right? You don't cut it. What you do is you make it more difficult to be eligible for the program.

Which is a cut Pretty much right, you know, and so those are the games that people play or that the real health care Changes won't kick in until January 1st, right? So the Republicans were hiding that so when people run around. Oh, no taxes on tips. Okay Okay, I got that, you know, no taxes on social security. I don't know what that is I don't even know what the threshold is on that. Okay

But then if I'm giving away that to the people the minions What are the billionaires getting out of this deal? Right and so for a whole lot of Republicans they they support that remember we were talking about the Republican Party one of the things with the Republican Party smaller government let's taxes let's regulations Right because for Republicans if it don't make dollars it don't make sense

So we kind of run around and then they'll get some of us off here on the social issues, right? We'll be over here talking about this, but look at your pocketbook. You got a war right now. They just said that the price of a barrel of oil is going over $100. But at some point that's translated into what you pay at the pump or the cost of transporting goods. You know, you go in the store now and you just like, oh my God, it ain't even sticker shock anymore.

Right? You numb. It's like, well, what did I get that cost this much money? So if you don't think that elections matter and that voting matters and not, and here's the other piece of it. And I'm down with Michelle with this. You need to know the issues. You need to know the issues. You know, you just, I appreciate your anger, appreciate your anger, but you need to know what you're angry about. You know, Keith?

I told you he was going to pick off enough people of color That's not that that didn't help But there were some other factors there like a million white men who normally do not vote showed up to vote So don't put that on black people that one on black people That one on black people that was Charlie Kirk and that organization turning out people who normally don't vote and the fear is

because they are such low propensity voters that then they're not going to show up the vote in this midterm. Got to call it. Call it, welcome to the program. Good morning. Good morning. And thank you for taking my call. You know something, Keith? Smaller government and all that stuff, that sounds real good. When people that are making it,

It's okay. We're in a place now, either it's the have and the have not. It's not a middle class in there anymore. And I hope everybody do get serious and get out there and vote and know what the issues are. And the number one thing is that we should have in mind being out there in public and party. Making so they have to reach across the aisle in order to

to get things done. Because number one, the way things are going, this man, somebody needs to be checking him. Because I think he's getting a little seen now. His actions are not normal. And this woman is ridiculous. They need to stop this. They need to stop giving him money. And between him and all his minions,

I don't know how much brain power is even in there. But the root cause of our problem, and those commercial people, please use your head. David Cronick can't just do all this. The range of taxes make life so miserable for you. It starts in Madison. It starts with your legislators, cast and billed. Now, this Republican guy running for governor as well and having

grandmother and mother on the bank money. He won't let this happen. Yeah, but she don't have to worry about it. But we do until she has to go into a nursing home and then the cuts to Medicaid where she needed a certain level of care, she won't be able to get. Oh, you know something. She's not gonna have a problem. Let me tell you something about them. When I must have been about 18.

And I was listening to some cases where people were putting their parents in nursing homes and all this kind of stuff. And they had assets, okay? They may be in that nursing home six months, maybe two years, and then they're gone, okay? So that money's not getting ate up. And they think different than we do. That figure.

And they figured out the rest of us, too. If you 80 years old, you don't live a good life. You don't live long enough. You don't need nothing else. And he's cutting so much stuff. Where is the money that he was paying these people that he cut off their jobs? Where is that money? Stop giving this man money. And where is Mitchell? Where is Mitchell Connell? Where is he? Is he alive?

Okay, I'm sorry. I'm just over it. But I'm going to vote. Have a great day. All right. You too. Yeah. You're listening to Community Voice. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.

Hi, welcome back. Right out. Ask me a question. You know, it's not just we're talking about the Brewers and it's not just what they're doing in the Central Division where they're nine up now. So that that's pretty much decided the question is going to be where will they finish? Will they finish with the best record in baseball? David finished with the best record in baseball. Not only to get a vibe, then they get home field advantage throughout, you know, the National League playoffs.

So that's what they're kind of doing right now. And it looks like they're going pretty well. I'm a little concerned. And maybe I shouldn't be as concerned because they didn't look good against the Reds. That series was just garbage. But what is taken to, and maybe Chicago is a better team, what is taken to beat Chicago because you have to get to the bullpen.

They're not beating their starting pitchers. Now, the argument could be made also that, well, no, because Mizorowski last night had another no decision. He has a lot of no decisions. But he gave up one run, dropped his ERA down to like 1.9 something. So he's probably going to win the MVP. But these have been some good games. I mean, when you come down to it and then the fact

When the Rhonda and I, we went to, we went to brunch on Labor Day and we went to a place called Toast down in Third Ward. Pretty good. But there were so many Cub fans. There were so many Cub fans down in Third Ward. So, and then there were a lot of Notre Dame folks down there too. Because of the Badgers. Because of the Badgers, so they, oh man.

I hate Notre Dame. And I know Marcus Freeman is coaching them, but I hate Notre Dame. I always hated Notre Dame. I don't know if it's their colors or if it's... I don't know, man. It's just... I went to a Catholic college. Oh, man. Notre Dame is doing very well. Now, I did like them. I love the basketball team.

when Digger Phelps was there. And that was Gary Bro call and John Schumade. And a lot of people don't realize that one of the Paxton brothers played there, you know, Adrian Dantley, you know, I mean, I kind of liked, they had their own little thing. And Digger Phelps was, they call him Digger because they talked about how undertakers in Irish culture was very well dressed. So Digger means you're well dressed.

So he was always, he always has style. I mean, just love what they did with the colors. They were like Marquette. But didn't, didn't, didn't like, and again, you got, you got Marcus Freeman, this brother out there. So if you don't see me next week, just know I'm playing for the herd. What are they? Are they G-League? Yup, Oscars.

So DJ come on out of retirement. Let's go on up to Oscars and try out for the hurt. See who make the team, brother. Y'all got health insurance, right? I'm just asking. I do. Okay, just make sure you got health insurance, man. One of my guys, he's...

We're going to be doing his funeral on Friday. And they put me down as a pallbearer. So I hope my back holds up. The last thing you want to do is, you know, drop a coffin, right? So good morning. How are you? So I was wondering if somebody would say, you know he had a back of knock on me. Right. Had a back of knock on me. Yeah, you know.

Yes, I'll be a paul bear. So I hope that uh They even put me down as an honorary paul bear put me down as a real paul bear. Yeah, I mean I So anyway, let me do this as we prepare here and we have a guest in studio with us good morning

And you're here to talk about a very special event. You guys are having on September 24th. So welcome to Community Voice. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for having me this morning. No problem. So tell us, what y'all got going on? Man, so you know, every year we normally do our annual luncheon. Okay.

put that back, there we go. And this year, I say, you know, instead of doing the luncheon where we have a guest speaker and all of that, let's do something that's really going to be impactful for our businesses. So we decided to do what we're calling a procurement boot camp to teach businesses that either are wanting to get into procurement or are in procurement, but just need to kind of strengthen their skill. No, we hear that word procurement. Explain that to maybe some folks who don't know what that is. Absolutely. So procurement is the process for accessing a kind.

So it's one thing for me to come to you and say, hey, you know what? You have a business. I have a business. We want to, you know, let's do business together. Procurement is a formalized systematic way of contracting. And most medium to large businesses and corporations have procurement teams or people that are responsible for carrying out that work. So when we talk about this and you're saying a boot camp,

That's a little bit different. What does a boot camp look like? So it's a boot camp. You come, you bring your laptop, you bring your tools that you have, and we sit down and we'll actually be doing interactive work. We'll be doing actual work. You know, you do this. So what do you see as some of the things that require remediation when we have, and we're talking about black businesses?

What are some of those things that has to be fixed as they're trying to pursue procurement? Yeah, so they need to know what they don't know. I think there's a lot of information out there about how to do it. There's a lot of snippets. There's a lot of quote unquote experts, but they aren't really breaking down all of the tools from A to Z. And I feel like especially for our black owned businesses, we need to understand the tools that are necessary and then make sure that we're implementing them accordingly and getting the help.

that we need from actual experts so that we are successful in securing those contracts. It's the size of the business matter. The size of the business does not matter. The revenue matters and how long they've been in business matters most. And I guess I should have did a better sentence. It's the size of the company or the business matter in terms of participating in the boot camp. No, it is not. I should have asked that question.

Absolutely not. If you're a one person show, you have a great service that you want to offer, you can participate. If you are a business that has less than five, less than 10 employees, you can participate. If you have an awesome product or a service and you want to increase your bottom line through contracts with companies bigger than yours, you should be at the boot camp. One of the issues is

um access to capital because a lot of black businesses are under capitalized would this kind of help in terms of people being better able to get capital to support the business? So we'll have a workshop that talks about access to capital and when is the right time to pursue access to capital but what I want to say is

I need businesses to be working on their bottom line every day, get customers. So just keep working your business, getting more customers, getting yourself to a revenue line that's comfortable for you. And then when you want to enter into this space of formalized procurement, you look strong on paper and you can access the capital you need maybe for expansion, equipment, more employees, et cetera. And maybe over and beyond what you do.

What about, and I know this is hard for some people, where you might combine with someone else, you know, in order to build, always believe that half of something is better than all of nothing. That's correct. Do you think we need to talk about that more in terms of a strategy?

towards success in business and black community? Yes, and I think that when people come to the table to talk about that potential partnership, there's some real alignment, not only on the goals, but making sure it's a win-win for everybody at the table. A lot of times when we see businesses try to come together to obtain a larger contract, there's a lot of back and forth with legal or what, you know, a particular business thinks they want and deserve versus the other business.

and if you are coming together two, three, four to make, to try to go for a prime position, make sure that you are creating something that's equitable and fair for everybody at the table because then it will go a lot smoother. Yeah, I just, you know, because sometimes you could have the same people doing the same thing. Yes. Where if they come together, want more resources, right? Yes. Which puts them in a better position to bid.

Right. Right for a contract. Right. And to take a better position than maybe a subcontracting or what we call tier three, tier fours, which a lot of times is where businesses start, but they kind of stay in that tier. They don't ascend to like a tier two or a prime, which is tier one, because they're not willing to think outside of the box that they're in.

So who are some of the instructors or some of the organizations that's going to provide instruction? Yeah, so our access to capital.

panel will be run by Ashley Lucas from Associated Bank. She's one of the managers, and I'm sorry, I don't know her title, the formal title. I know she's an SVP at Associated, but really talking about access and not just general access, but again, when you are going into procurement, when is the right time to borrow? The second one, we're going to be talking about matchmaking and networking, making the connection. How do you build relationships? Dr. Keenan Grenell from Global Capital Group will be instructing that.

have Sabrina, Dr. Sabrina Robbins from Adina Workforce Solutions that will be talking about our capability statements and how to have a powerful one, because that is the one thing that a lot of businesses may have, but they're not strong. No, she's not. No, yeah, that's the other Robbins. Yes, yes, yes, yes. And then we'll also have. Let me think.

Hold on, Kate, it's too early for me. Look, I got three, y'all. And the other one is just as valuable.

Shannon Jefferson from Gibraltar Industries will be talking about pricing, how to price yourself if you're going towards a public sector or a private sector contract and how to make sure that you are pricing accordingly but competitively. I will tell you that is the one thing that I see most businesses make the mistake and when they're looking to build their businesses, they're pricing. They either go too low because they just want to get the bid and a lot

of times it causes them a lot of financial strain and ability to complete the job well and also

I've seen where people overprice, even though there might be a goal or something like a 5% in this public sector. And it just all goes bad for them because they really don't understand how to price. So we will bring in somebody that has done it on the private sector and the public sector. And she will actually go through an exercise where people will learn how to price. So.

The essential let me let me do it right a procurement boob camp essential edition Thursday September 24th 9 a.m. To 1 30 p.m. At the MATC Meckwine campus that is correct. It's a half-day session on the essential tools You need to become a successful vendor for companies and corporations And again, this is sponsored by WNOV the voice absolutely WEDC Yeah, and we're a community foundation. So if people want to register

Yep. Go to TBCMKE.events to register. So again, TBCMKE.events to register. But you want to be there. Sounds like it. Yeah. Thank you, Keith. Well, thank you and always good seeing you, Mark. Absolutely. You all too. You're listening to Community Voice. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. Keith Parris.

Oh, welcome back. And again, the phone lines open 41444452504144445250. I don't want to bring it up again, but you guys never answered my question yesterday. So I said, you never answer my question. That's all right.

What was the question? I'm not gonna answer. I'm not gonna answer again. What? You gotta hear what? The question. What question? The question you asked. Who's here? Didn't hear it. Wow. He kinda look like he's here. What we talking about? Who gonna be watching the Bucks? Oh, there you go.

I'm going to be watching the Bugs because I'm a Bugs fan. I'm more than a Bugs fan, I should say. Hey, there's plenty of room in the back of the bandwagon for y'all. Come on. When we jump off, we can jump off together. I think that the Bugs is going to surprise a lot of people, man. That's what I think. I think that we're going to surpass expectations. And you know, like the time when we hit Michael Redd and we didn't have any stars, but we just had good players.

And they played hard and they surprised a lot of people, man. That's just what I think. And we still got one of the best shooters in the game. I think, you know, I mentioned to my sister-in-law that there's possibility, oh man, wouldn't they play in Miami? That we might go down to Miami to see them play the heat. And those are the only two televised games that the brothers got on national.

Against the heat. Yes. Yes. I guess that makes sense. Well, yeah, they really won't be honest to destroy his OT because they didn't want the others here in the first place. I didn't want the others here. National media. National media didn't want the others here. So they always push for him to either go to the big market, New York, LA.

You know, go somewhere like that, but they didn't want to get that's all they talked about. No, first of all, did nobody know who this dude was until he got here? I'm talking about the once he got here. Okay. Once he got here, once he got here and they saw who he was and he was the first thing they were saying is Ken Milwaukee keeper. This and this and that. Milwaukee and you know, the city too small. It's a small marketing. You honestly need to be somewhere in the big market.

and this and this so he can get endorsements. That's how Miami getting shoe deals and banding movies. Okay, so the first game they play in Miami is November 18th. And then the second time they play Miami. It's January, ain't it? Yeah, right now tickets from $34. Take a look at this. No, just in Miami. In Milwaukee it is low as...

$134 for the first game, $75 for the second game. And I'm sure that that's going to go up depending on how the team is playing. That's a Wednesday. And then that's a Thursday on the 4th. OK, I don't you know, I think it was driven by Janice. Janice is gone.

So it's going to take a while for Bucks fans to adjust. Now, if they become competitive and they play hard and people like that, but man, there's people out there with season tickets because, you know, even when they, they were okay, you still had Yanis, right? Well, even when Yanis would hurt, we would still win without him. Yeah. But you know, eventually he was coming back. He ain't coming back now. Well, eventually he might come back.

Because he said that that's where he wanted in his career. No, no, no, what I'm saying is the season coming back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's so they're going to have to figure it out. I think as far as players stepping up. I think you're really going to see Ryan Rollins step up and Turner, man.

No. I mean, I'm with you on that. I'm with you on that. But, you know, and I hate, you know, because people, we always talk about people being unlimited potential. No. Matter matters. You know, if you 5'11", you 5'11". And I don't care how much you like to think you 6'10". You still 5'11". Talent is still talent. You know what I mean? Yeah, you're right.

You know, and so do you think the others? Do you think youngers will have a great season in Miami? He could. He could. I mean, they get down and they figure it out. You know, hey, man, here's what we need to do. We can make a good run. I think he could because they got Clay. Now, I think they're going after Kyrie. So they're going after Kyrie. I don't know how they're going to pull it off, but they're going after Kyrie.

And Sam with the lineup that they got now with Mitchell sometimes you I know people we talked about you want the most talent But you need somebody on there who's gonna be the glue. Yeah, so the question is who's gonna be the glue on that team? You know, I Don't like getting back to the bucks. I don't see Tyler hero thinking that he needs to carry the team

He'll do what he has to do. And I think that's what's in his mind because they kind of pitched in like he's really the star of the team. He's the face. Well, because he was part of the trade. Part of the trade and he's coming back home from where it all started. Now, don't get me wrong. He could score. You know, he could put up 30 easy, but he came when he ain't on the floor. Yeah, I know it's hurt a lot. And that's just because.

You know, you're good, but the physical, you know, like LeBron James is built, right? And he has been since he was young. So he withstands, you know, he pretty much goes injury-free a little bit more now because he's older. I mean, he flopped. Well, whatever. Yeah, that's why you're injury-free. You flop and get protected. But that's a whole different conversation. Okay.

He's a star if you breathe on him call the file, you know Let's see I agree caller believe this illegal war and a disrespect of farmers will have an impact I think so too You know they were interviewing a cattle rancher surprisingly a meat producer down in West Virginia

And he was just talking about just how the cost of everything is going up. And then what some of these meat producers were doing was purposely sending the herd so then they could bring up the cost because your prices are based on demand. And so if you lessen the availability of something, the cost of it goes up. So you go in now and they almost give away chicken.

you know I mean chicken is so cheap now and um remember during COVID those chicken wangs they got expensive but here's the thing people raise the prices but they don't drop the prices when their prices go down at all because they know man that you can maintain it once you pay at one time they know just like with gas prices right gas is never going to go back down to a dollar and 99 because they know that people will and can pay

$3 a gallon, $2 a gallon, $4 a gallon. So let's just play on the people. Even though we might be able to lower the gas to $1.99 a gallon, we know that they're paying it at this price. So let's leave it there. How many of y'all are going to watch the Republican midterm convention tonight and tomorrow night in Dallas? It's tonight. Yeah. Now, I saw on the news that there was a bunch of Republicans

That wasn't going cuz I guess he tried in a hundred thousand dollars or something like that, right? And they need money and they go taking the money you taking the money from us which makes no sense because You taking the money that's needed for the midterm elections and You want them to pay a hundred thousand dollars minutes so they was interviewing

Some of the Republicans asked him if they was going and you should have heard some of the excuses. Oh, no, I can't go. My son has a game. I promised him I wouldn't miss any game. Oh, well, you know, I have to cook for the kids. And I have to find a cure for cancer. Right. That part. So I would be there. But if I would find a cure for cancer, I'd definitely be there. I got to go wrestle the bear in the woods. I'm sorry.

Yeah, this dude man and and people said though, it's in a tough situation because you've enabled it all along Now it's hard for people to step up now They were saying part of it was it wasn't most of these people got through their primaries. Maybe they might grow some but it doesn't It is I hope they get all the people all of the rotten people

Up out of there, man, like they had a season. They had their time And let's get the moron people up out of there, man And you know Ken Paxton is so confident I guess he figures in spite of everything that's going on with me You know cuz and in that you know what Michelle always talks about selective outrage, but isn't it funny how we do selective morality?

Like we hold certain people to a certain moral standard and we look the other way and then other folks, you know, wrath of God kind of judgment on them. I can't believe he wore a tan suit. You know, I mean, it's like, so, you know, some of this behavior, it has always been politicians, you know, are humans. So there's always been bad behavior among politicians.

But now that, you know, for some people as a disqualifier and then for others, it's not. I'm trying to figure. As long as you vote the way I want you to vote, then I could care less about your character or your mirror or your morality. Well, first of all, this last episode of of where in the world is Donald Trump.

Supposed to be on a plane, but he get off the plane and get into another one Those people that was on that decoy plane or that plane that would have been shot down if they was gonna shoot That would tell me that the leader that I consider my leader don't care anything about me and That wouldn't sit well with me going forward because now I know

Now I know that hey wait a minute though. You would kill me and You know put me out in front push me out in front of the truck or the car So you can keep going because they're young lady supposed her name Carolyn? I can't love it. Okay She just had her baby a couple days before that trip, right? It was like a week or something before that trip keeping that couple weeks, right? So by her having a newborn

And now saying that you will put me in harm's way and not even tell me I'm in harm's way is crazy. For the other blonde? And took the other blonde. The younger version? So it's more like, oh, well, you can have her. I don't, you know, see I, but I'm taking her. So if something happened to take her, but I got this one.

Sound like a plan when I was gonna say

Well, I'm not going to criticize it for that anymore. Get back to criticizing for policy. Call and welcome to the program. Good morning. That moment was a Kodak moment. Good morning. Hey, good morning. I'm missing something, man. Can you guys enlighten me? Because I've been kind of out of the loop with names. You were talking about something about a lady, a truck or somebody that a lady put her in harm's way. Can you explain that to me?

No, they were talking about that whole thing when he got on the. He certainly typically got on there. Typically there's such a word he got on a flight. He the people he left on what they called the decoy play. We're cabinet members. It was his press secretary and only people he took was the dude that worked with him down in Mar-a-Lago. Pete Hesse.

No, no, Pete Hesse was on the plane with him. There's Marco Rubio that was on the other plane. So it was sort of three planes, wasn't it? Yeah, but Pete Hesse, Natalie Hart. So, you know, and there's a documentary out there about all the substitutes they went through to make sure he knew that one plane wasn't safe and then the other plane could have been a target, but he made sure he wasn't on that plane.

This is the first time I heard about it, but guess what, man? You telling me about the decoy situation, which I've looked at that in all kind of angles with the decoy guy, even with the fake gun, even with the fake hand, I've looked into the decoy thing. So I mean, I think they all kind of do that, but they don't personify that thing. No, they said there have been two other instances where I think Obama's secretly traveled

some place and Bush secretly traveled some place. But I don't think they put the press where if if the Iranians were really intent on trying to shoot down that plane, he wasn't going to be on it, but he had other people on it and he didn't even let people know. And then the reason why, you know, they got the idea of having a decoy plane when supposed to let the people know. Well, I know when when when when

When Marine One flies from the White House, there's several helicopters that go up that look like it to go up. So you had that. But in this instance, people were saying that, you know... Listen, when those guys travel with a Hunter Rods, they split it up, and we don't know who on which helicopter or which Air Force One or whatever. So, you know, that's just something for somebody to talk about. I thought it was somewhere.

if somebody was left somewhere and you know like like like biden being in afghanistan uh left all of our equipment over there and uh and you know something else man what happened to those afghanis that we let into the country uh on the temporary state or did we give them all amnesty because if they send back donations a lot of them could a lot of them could get back couldn't get in the country

He was talking about taking away their status Okay, we've got to make sure see first of all with my FBA brothers. All right My understanding was that it's okay. We understand about the Africans coming in and claiming

that they want reparations for their ancestors as well, because it was they people that was treated and all this. Okay, we understand that's the right with the FBA and the Africans and the Caribbean's. Okay, because they believe it or not, they're advocating for if there ever be any reparations, they want to get paid for their ancestry or being tortured. That's the problem that we have with those people.

Uh, so, so listen, but there are no hanging fruit. Okay. We know that that's easy work, man, to get them out of here. Okay. That's real easy work. And it's not that many of them compared to the, uh, Hispanic speaking people. And when I say that, I ain't just talking about Mexicans. I'm talking about the whole, uh, big deal of these people that come in, you know, from, from all these Spanish speaking countries. See, that's the real challenge that, and so even though I want them people out of here, I understand that that's low. That's low hanging fruit.

Okay. And just what if they would come here and pay homage to the Negro that laid the map and the groundwork for them and understand that the black man, they don't do that because of the simple fact they come right to the hero. They want to be on the hero side. And then you got to ask yourself, who don't want to be on the hero side? Who don't want to be on the so-called winning team, right? So when these people come into the country and we are always advertising and putting our misery and past on this.

play. I mean, it wasn't part of that, though, man, because we always put it on display. And it's on display all around the whole world. Now, it would take decades and generations to undo what we have been. We and you, our generation, talking about what we've been and we're still on slavery right now. We won't let it go. And I'm not saying to let it go. But what I am saying is that when you

blow it up and for a fight, make it huge. And it is a big thing and constantly dwell on it. And who wants to come and be a part of that? So they come in and they grab on to that and show that there we are. I thought it was something that the man had done. Did recently I was at sleep or something in the negative. The white would have written and put folks because yesterday he lied about 9 11 and his involvement in 9 11, given the impression that he had gone down to ground zero.

as it when it was happening when in fact he hadn't and they were saying he was in trump tower so yeah he didn't give us everybody want to be a hero man that's just like kfd don't got himself in trouble because he was playing on it i bet you kfd really ain't had much to do with it and he should have took the stand in total look man everybody was eating these the book office that came up here i thought because i was a close to those entourage

I would, I never said I actually did it, but I gave a persona that I did because I wanted to eat as well. Hey, look, if y'all lock me up, it's wrong, but I had to eat and I made it seamless though. I knew when I was, you know, I was that guy, but at the same time, look where he at. So Donald Trump wanted to be a hero, probably say he was down in the bus and grab one man out and put the baby in his bag and came out with dust on his face.

You know, let's be realistic. Like Jesse Jackson, when Dr. King got killed, he was back in Chicago with some blood on his shirt. So he was down there playing over the man. And one of the blue shots was Jesse. He was there when he got shot. And he was there when he got shot. The King family never forgave him for that. But everybody won't give you up, man. So it's Donald Trump.

And then Giuliani says that Madonna shouldn't be there, right? He shouldn't. But the Giuliani administration withheld air quality.

Status so a lot of people get sick because the air quality was worse than the New York City was reporting that it was You know, but yeah, they covered it up Adams All right, man. Well, listen, amen. That's that's that's them people man

But that's what I was calling about. That's something that happened overnight, man. Yes, he probably did go down there. He went down there. He went down there. And I'm just saying in the folk story, brother, the folklore, the folk story, he moved down there and got six people out. And, you know, we drove two out with a wheeled bow and had one on his back, you know. The what? The hole. But he went down there. You know, where the...

where the Twin Towers were, have you ever seen it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've been around there all up and down Canal Street all around, all up to there. I mean, I've got that room real quiet off the man. It was a 12 hour ride for me. We were there maybe a year because they were still at and now we were there after they did the memorial. Yeah. Before they did that, man, that was that just shows you how big those buildings were and how big of a space it took up.

You know what bothers me don't keep you know that $20 bill when you fold the back of it and you see the 20 hours on fire and where the planes actually hit Yeah, that's that that part right there and I saw that 20 years ago and It's in the exact spots

That tells me, that tells me years ago, that tells me that this could have been a threat. Because George Bush really made history, man. He first changed the currency. He had the first black astronaut to go up and we lost that.

We lost the 9-11. A lot of things, man. That bush, man. That bush go down in history, man, being under a lot of things. And then that $20 bill really messed me up with this cat because it hit too exact in the middle of the spot. And that $20 bill was done before they came down. See, I can see if it was after. But it came, that was introduced to our currency before. So we talked about it. It might have been a Skull and Bone game.

a plan because it was something else. I don't know the bad side of that. But anyway, listen, what I gotta tell you is that, yeah, man, I thought it was something new, man. I thought it was something new. But you have to look at a lot of fat and, you know, a lot of games we played, man. And it's just a game, you know? It's just a game, man. You know, when you swore it's a real secret. See, I ain't talking about that.

A lot of that old paternity stuff, but real stuff, man. You know, if people, you know, there's a light man and a lot of it is just, you know, it's, it's fun and games, man. Cause life, you know, let me go. Life is a song. I'm surprised Arizona didn't call in to talk about the game tonight. Hmm. Yeah, you probably going to talk you up. You're going to call. Put me through a fail.

He's gonna call me like put me through fail All right, so brews win tonight Who's preaching the Henderson's preaching preaching? Pitching tonight. Oh, I think that the brewers might lose this one It's okay though. They got they got the series. Yeah, they got the series. So they probably won't You know play as hard

And you know what, now talking about Luna, it was good he got that hit. Yeah. Because remember, he did the challenge on an obvious strike. Yeah. And lost. And lost it. It was their last challenge. Like, oh, here he comes. Look at this. No, you didn't. Carla, welcome to the program. I said, hello. Hello.

Put me through, fam. You rang? I told you it was going to come on. I told you it was going to come on. It's a right time. A country or friend. And yeah. You rang? So what's going to happen to me?

They're going to get a ring and they're going to drop the banner today, man. I'm talking about the game. Oh, we're going to do what we're doing here. All right. And you know, the number won't be changed tomorrow if that's not the outcome. Well, you better call. Shoot. Hey, I just hit my number. We're in no time with me, baby. I'm still around with my team. Ain't no bad guy going to jump over here. That's cool. That's so what? You might.

You might you You might become a bandwagon

All right, man. So give me a score. Give me a prediction. I'm thinking I think it's 21 seven. 21 seven. All right. Appreciate you. All right. Call it. Welcome to the program. Hey man, I go with the boys. Anybody want to bet against the boys? Tell them I'm in the city. Uh, Mrs. Shippin. Mrs. Shippin bid not hold the bruising from here on there. Where is she?

So do you think it'll get to a hundred hundred wins? Yeah, I think it's like 13 15 something like that But they can get to they can get to a hundred you think they're gonna finish with the best record in baseball

Yeah, they will finish with the best look at the baseball. No doubt about that. They're gonna do it. But I always see them worried about them. The player is the Dodger in St. Louis. They're the only two teams in the world. St. Louis at this point, they had no threat. No threat. Well, I'm trying to come to the playoffs. I don't know. I don't think St. Louis was in that wild card chase. And I think also Chicago wild card.

Well, it looks like that like the Brewers going to win the Central Division. Yeah, they're going to win that. They're going to win that. They're going to win that, no doubt about it. I was at their last night to the game. I went to the game last night out there. It was a lot of tension, wasn't it? Yo, yeah. Oh, yeah. There was a lady behind me talking every time she tried to strike out the Brewers. The Brewers struck out. Now we're calling it a game by how I'm going to say we're going to strike out y'all, too.

Yeah, I mean I had a Chicago people last night. You hear the fans. Man, they're quite my brother. My brother, you know, he always called me up with Chicago. I called him up. He was at Casino. I said, we will be our end casino. He said, nah, man, I said, you watch this walk off. We woke up on him. Yeah. We woke up on that young boy hit that ball. Yeah, I think, you know, both both those games.

of the ninth inning when they got the guy out before Crow Armstrong came up. So he just hit a single home run, didn't do any damage. And then the defense, they really do have a good defense. Have a good defense. That boy caught that ball in about the 7 and 18 and saved that game when they're doing two on the base.

When he called that ball, they would say the blue is right there. That ball wouldn't get that ball. He put me in the mud and I was playing down in Mississippi. I didn't sit down and took balls, come out of the air like that. They popped that ball up in the air and this is going up under the sea. You got the tape? Yes. You got some tape? Yeah, I got some tape. We want to see some tapes. Hey, we need some receipts, man.

Chief, let me tell you something, no joke. I used to play baseball, right? Okay. And I used to, they used to hit a ball up in the air. I used to run up on it and sit down. I was about to sit down on my little hand and check it coming out of the air. I was just there playing, just there good. But when I got to West Coast, I couldn't find nobody to take me where they were playing. They were practicing hook, hardballing. So they weren't going to play softball. I won't play no softball.

But how about you as anybody in Mississippi who were the best after in the world in Mississippi friends so far. All right. I'm about down there. Sounds like you sound a little like like cool Papa Bill. I'm so fast. You know, I could turn the lights off. I'm in bed before it gets dark, right? Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. I got a cousin right now. I got a cousin right now. He's in the hospital. His name is Willoway Lee.

I want y'all to pray for him. Their board told me how to play soul ball and hard ball. But when I was in Mississippi, I played all kind of ball. All right, man. I gotta go. All right, y'all take care. All right, man. We'll have a nice meeting tonight. All right. You play foosball. Let me thank Ms. Marjorie Rucker. Debo, thank you. Yes, sir. Jermaine, thank you. Yes, sir. Callers, we thank you.

Good Lord Willow Creek, don't rise so tucked everybody tomorrow. And as always, go from this place in peace.

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, Debo.

How are you, sir?

I am blessed and highly favored.

Keith B. Parris

Apostle.

Well, you know, a sandwich ain't a sandwich without bread.

A sandwich ain't what?

A sandwich ain't a sandwich without bread, Brent.

I thought that was, I thought that was Miracle Whip.

That too, you do need miracle.

I wouldn't do a miracle with

I hate miracle with it

was to what do you use Keith

sounds

Keith B. Parris

great mayonnaise male just

regular male.

Keith B. Parris

Yeah My mother didn't like male.

So and I got old enough to get you know, I eat male as a matter of fact One of my roommates called me male because I eat so much mayonnaise on the same like on every sandwich I had male

man, I think that the best

Out at the mayonnaise and all of that is sandwich spread.

I love

Keith B. Parris

oh, yes, and we're

spread.

Yeah, sandwich spread is the man I think that that's really what's supposed to be on your sandwich is to spread the mayonnaise You know I think that's for the boozy people.

Keith B. Parris

Okay.

Thank you, brother Keep it for the people for the proletariat

Anyway, good morning y'all four lines open four one four four four four five two five zero four one four four four five two five zero Let me I'm gonna get to the brewers, but I want to do this little political piece It just came out that the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association has cancelled their gubernatorial debate

David Crowley committed but Tiffany hasn't or didn't Now that just raises a couple of red flags for me one Why wouldn't Tiffany want to debate David Crowley?

Two if you look at some of the ads that are being running and not being run now I don't know you know based on the last opinion poll that Marquette did They had Crowley up five points with likely voters.

They were even with registered voters and So my question is why doesn't Tom Tiffany want to be on the same stage as David Crowley now

based on some of the ads that I see running, you know, in terms of appealing, and they're not even dog whistles.

I mean, they're just out and out.

It's racist.

I use these words xenophobic.

You know, they run a commercial and this is not the Tiffany campaign.

It's a group support in the Tiffany campaign where they said that they show what was happening at State Fair Park.

And then they talk about how

David Crowley Just raised taxes Okay So we're not even let's fact check this just for a moment first of all David Crowley can only raise taxes at the maximum at 2% Just about every governmental agency County municipality school board has gone in for tax increases because the state

either through the revenue sharing piece or underfunding education is not giving them enough.

So you see, you know, we had two or three referendums just in Milwaukee County and it wasn't just Milwaukee.

The other thing then they say is that then David Crowley is going to basically put Milwaukee in the state.

And again, you had that image of those young kids fighting down at State Fair Park.

So either there's some internal polling telling Tiffany that hey, you know You probably just want to coast through do the attack ads Ride it through do not go face-to-face Because at some point Tom Tiffany will have to talk about his record and that's what he doesn't want to do He doesn't want to talk about his record because this record has been clearly supportive of Donald Trump

My hope is Donald Trump comes to Wisconsin, but Tom Tiffany is gonna probably politely say no, sir We're okay because Whether Tiffany likes it or not Trump is on the ballot Trump is on the ballot

and

Keith B. Parris

everything that he's doing and the devastating impact his policies are having on many of his voters and Tom Tiffany has been supportive

Many if not all of the policies So I just thought it was curious where you wouldn't want to do a debate and almost gets back to the movie that DJ always refers to Where You know, what is it God, it's the Chris Rock movie

Head

Keith B. Parris

of State

Oh,

head of state.

Keith B. Parris

Yeah.

Yeah.

And he's trying to bait this.

This white candidate looks like Tom Tiffany into debating him, but he don't want to debate him.

And finally, when he insulted his mama, then he so maybe that's what she do because Tom Tiffany's mama is in his commercials.

Is she?

Keith B. Parris

Yeah.

Yeah.

They, they, oh, man, they soft touch this dude where, you know, you, you have no sense of his far right policies.

As a congressperson.

So yeah, and then they put his mom in and

and the whole thing.

Oh

Keith B. Parris

man, just this family guy, you know, it's like, ah, so I think that it's important and You're hearing this.

This is going to be a turnout election And and so it really really saw all these folks here in Milwaukee Dane County The turnout in Milwaukee in Dane County is going to be real important

And trust me if we have another snafu like we had on election night for primary Then that's gonna give the Trump administration ample ammunition to come in and say that the election was rigged So I just thought that a little piece of it.

I don't know if that most people saw that but at this point there is no televised debate And I don't know if Tom Tiffany is going to now again if the polling show so

I had a

question,

Keith B. Parris

Keith, that he's behind.

We were just talking in the

lobby.

And they're saying that same date, if you will, as the Milwaukee Bucks opener, there is a debate.

Is this the one that you're saying is canceled?

Keith B. Parris

Really?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Wisconsin Broadcasters Association, October 9th.

No, they're talking October 21st or something like that.

They spoke to.

No, I think

channel 12.

All for a debate.

Because I think the Bucks game start the season start early.

Keith B. Parris

Is that a preseason game?

No, I'm thinking they're saying it's a home opener.

Keith B. Parris

October 21st,

right?

Is there a debate scheduled for that date?

Keith B. Parris

No, hold on.

The Republican Congress in Thomas.

Tom, Tiffany, and Democratic Milwaukee County executive David Crowley, a scheduled to face off and televised gubernatorial debate on Wednesday, October 21st, though a traditional debate hosted by the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association for October 9th was recently canceled.

So he still will debate.

It's just not through the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association.

Okay, but it will be televised on channel 12.

Keith B. Parris

Yeah, could be.

Michelle Bryant

Can I say something?

And I just want to ask why did Channel 12 put that on October 21st?

Because it is the season opener for the Milwaukee Bucks regular season.

The game come on at six o'clock.

And they own regular TV.

Yeah.

They own regular TV.

Michelle Bryant

So I'm

like,

Michelle Bryant

I mean, I don't know and it may be a real explanation for why.

Yeah.

Michelle Bryant

But when you talk about

messing with your ability to get that out.

Well, why would you pick that particular day?

Michelle Bryant

It's just I'm like

out of all of the days leading up to it.

The Bucks home opener.

The only reason

Michelle Bryant

well, no, they because that so the home opener is Friday.

No, it's I thought the home opener is Friday, but the season opener.

That first game is not home

for the regular season.

Open or not?

Well, it's the regular season.

Michelle Bryant

It's the regular season opener, but it's not a home game.

It's in Washington.

Yeah, the home game is going to be that Friday.

So I'm like, y'all going to do it between that Wednesday and that Friday?

You're

going to do it on a Monday.

You're going to do it

Michelle Bryant

on a Tuesday.

I just thought it was

the... I

Michelle Bryant

couldn't

do it on a Monday.

Or a Tuesday.

Michelle Bryant

He said, you what?

You

Keith B. Parris

can't do it on a Monday.

Michelle Bryant

A

Keith B. Parris

Tuesday, Monday night football.

Michelle Bryant

Oh, that's a Monday night football.

I'm just saying...

Keith B. Parris

Well, Monday night football is a little bit better.

It is.

The buck's

open.

Yeah, yeah.

That's Milwaukee.

No, no, no.

I get it.

It's just a whole thing of the sports spectrum.

And then though you have this whole debate, so now you people are going to pick and choose to what they're going to

Michelle Bryant

watch.

Particularly since the Bucks game will already be on.

It will be an hour in when they start the live debate.

I just think

those people that are big Bucks fans, white or black, whatever, big Bucks fans, you're.

Michelle Bryant

And to me, a lot of the folks you need to help turn out, because turnout is going to be key in this race, you're going to need a lot of brothers to show up.

Keith B. Parris

Yeah, well, but I don't think that that's channel 12's responsibility.

Michelle Bryant

I think that's the candidate who is supposed to be asking about the timing.

And I just want you to know

Keith B. Parris

what I'm saying is if you're talking about turnout.

That that

Michelle Bryant

even if I'm channel 12.

I want to get as many people eyes on my that's the whole purpose Okay,

Keith B. Parris

now watching it.

That's different.

Michelle Bryant

Yeah, if I'm telling everybody had a vested interest in trying to get the most Attendance or eyes on the show as possible exposure and

Keith B. Parris

thank you.

Thank you.

Happy this though.

Nobody watching

Michelle Bryant

the book on January 13th or something and

and what they gonna do and they plan the number one pick

which is AJ.

So people going to want to watch to see what AJ going to do.

Even if you're not a Bugs fan, you're going to watch the number one play.

Michelle Bryant

OK.

Look, all I'm saying is that that was the campaign's responsibility to ask the question, why is that?

And Channel 12 better have a damn good reason for why you went with October 21st.

You

Keith B. Parris

know what?

I don't think, first of all, now.

If it was the Packers playing because of the statewide piece with the Packers, yes, I think because it's the Bucks.

The Bucks is a different looking team now.

But that's me.

So anyway, let me stand corrected.

There will be a

debate.

Keith B. Parris

It just won't be on October 9th.

It'll be on October 21st.

And I will say this quickly.

We were talking about it and there's been a commitment from Michelle as well as Doug.

We're going to try.

We're going to ask to see if we can get both candidates to come on this show or one of our shows and just do a heart to heart on restream or however we run it, whatever they commit to, just so that we give them a chance to reach our viewers and our listeners.

Michelle Bryant

No, okay.

Let's just let you know Keith do it.

Keith B. Parris

No, no, let Michelle do

Michelle Bryant

it.

Is

that you Mr.

Keith B. Parris

Parris?

Don't say that word.

Hey, he's had a close relationship with the toilet for the last 24 hours.

Please don't want to hear that word.

What's

Alright man,

Keith B. Parris

well take care of yourself, bro.

You sound good

enough to come on back to work today

Keith B. Parris

I'm amazing

people call it on a day all

right, but in reality to what y'all don't understand we really do miss y'all don't at least I do so you know

when I was in Miami for yourself when I was

in Miami and I was enjoying

The beautiful babes in Miami for some reason y'all came across my mind So I called to see how y'all was doing.

I think I called on yourself.

Keith B. Parris

Yeah, you did

Do you?

Do you with me calling when I'm not here?

You say, yeah, you

did.

I thought

Keith B. Parris

it was

off.

Keith B. Parris

He on the phone.

He

on the phone.

Why the hell he take the day off?

He just came

in.

He couldn't just stay.

That's because your man called like three times in one day.

Hey man, listen.

Call all the

shows.

See, what I don't understand is when it's me, myself, and I, and I'm at the house by myself, man.

You know calling y'all did you miss me right?

All

Keith B. Parris

right,

so Dave you you back with the band, right?

Wow Wow

Hey, nobody paid to see

you.

Nobody

Keith B. Parris

left,

man.

Hey, it was taking a different approach.

I said, listen here, man, if there's no pineapples and grapes in my dressing room, I'm not performing.

Well, you see, there was no pineapples

Keith B. Parris

and grapes in there.

And I didn't go for them.

I did get a chance to thank my buddy Fred.

I did get a chance to see the Temptation Reunion Tour.

And both David Ruffin,

Eddie Kendricks and Dennis Edwards was with that so

hmm.

Yeah Something happened the other day and I was watching the doctor.

Oh, I know exactly what it was.

I was watching at the barber shop They were playing this a documentary that was done on the movie the five heartbeats all about backstories and Robert Townsend was telling this whole what he went through and so forth and And like the day after that movie

dropped Eddie Kendricks actually died, which Eddie King was based off Eddie Kendricks character.

So yeah, they were showing that Dennis and and all of them showed up to the funeral and how they got together and sang one line.

It was very moving documentary.

If you get a chance, certainly check it out.

The backstory behind, you know, that whole making of that movie.

And I didn't realize it was such a flop.

They lost money on that movie.

Keith B. Parris

Yeah, it became more video.

Yeah.

Video

Keith B. Parris

main.

So you have some movies out there man, theatrically.

Nobody go see it.

And then VHS.

Pick it up.

Back in

Keith B. Parris

the day.

Yeah.

DVD put a whole lot.

There's a movie called The Stepfather.

Nobody went to see that movie.

It became a cult classic man.

Cause you know, you go to blockbusters.

You know, you talk about back in the day, you go to blockbusters and you know, you get it.

So.

Yeah, it turned out it wasn't as bad as Meteor Man

That was that

Keith B. Parris

was that was a

horrible movie anyway.

Keith B. Parris

It was horrible.

Yeah, but he had an all-star Luther Vandross was in Meteor Man Meteor Man Meteor Man.

Yeah.

Yeah, he had Bill Cosby Man, he had he had some folks and but it was an awful movie.

It was awful.

He was.

What were they the lords?

The gang?

They were the lords.

What was the movie, the new Superfly, the remake?

And those dudes was in all white.

Were they snow patrol?

Yeah, they were.

They just brought up Soul

Plane.

That was a horrible movie to me.

Now, speaking of Soul Plane, do you ever think that?

we as Black people that we would ever be able to get our own airline.

Get

our own what?

Airline.

I don't want to ride

it.

Well, I think that if we did have it, instead of having flight attendants, let's put some church ushers on there.

And then.

Let's do.

I mean, because, you know, they gon' maintain

order.

You messed up already.

I'm saying, but they gon' maintain order.

Church ushers gon' maintain order.

You got mean ushers, man.

Hey, maintain the order.

Sit out on this plane.

We're about to take off.

And then instead of, instead of giving.

No gun.

Give me the gun.

Give me the

gun.

Keith B. Parris

Give

me the

Keith B. Parris

gun.

The white gloves.

The

Himalayas

back on the plane.

Instead of flying

to the... They read scripture.

You can't come

in.

Wait.

You can't walk.

In order for that.

You can't walk.

So you know how they give us instructions about the plane to go down.

Instead of doing that.

Just bring an old deacon that's been through hell and hot water.

and have him get out on that one.

Pray.

Everybody buy your eyes and close your eyes and buy your

ears.

I don't

know

Keith B. Parris

if you want to do that on the

point.

Pray.

I

Keith B. Parris

just don't know.

It's going to give instructions.

Yeah, I don't know.

Father,

I stretch my

hand to

you.

See you where you

land.

No other help, I know.

Should

we have some prayer?

Like, oh, we flying and we need prayer?

Oh, you the god.

That's why I like this title.

You're the beginning and the ending.

All right,

Keith B. Parris

you're listening.

So plain.

Somebody said Zebra said, how many times do you pass the offering plate just to make sure the plan lands on time?

They'll keep you there.

We need

Keith B. Parris

about three more offers.

Our pilot flies around a little

bit more.

Interesting.

I went fishing in Green Lake Monday.

and I've seen more Crowley yard signs than Tiffany.

Wow.

That speaks volumes.

That's mid-state.

Yeah, that's it.

Man, I just, you know, I don't, I'm, it's, you know, and maybe that's not my gift and maybe I shouldn't try to prognosticate, but, you know, you got some of these ads, obviously the way they're running them, they must know they're effective, right?

And,

for a lot of people and many voters are low they call low propensity low information voters so they're going to hear what they fear at here and the other thing is you exploit fear right so this idea uh that you know he's going to export Milwaukee to the rest of the state you know for some people now I don't know why that's so fearful um but I have a question it's Wednesday

I wonder how much of this when you see, you know, like these takeovers, when you see the kids out fighting either downtown or Water Street or State Fair, I think it's a little bit more sinister.

I kind of believe that there are purposely organizing kids to do this in order to create these pictures.

But Keith I kind of believe you're you're going down a slippery slope because And I want to make sure that I'm prefaced in the right way when you when you look at the incident I mean they use clips from this most recent state fair incident To blame Crawley,

yeah, calling them

Keith B. Parris

soft on crime,

but but he's not responsible for

Keith B. Parris

crime No, and he's certainly not and actually

The the people responsible for the state fair is the state police.

They have a whole state fair police force.

Well, they put it out there that

Keith B. Parris

it and it happened in West

Dallas.

Keith B. Parris

And they

said, but then the officer, you know, you know, they was painting this picture that Crowley is the person that's fun.

You know, it's soft on crime.

Then they put it in the corner.

If you pay attention to it, an officer gets punched.

And then after they say that, they say, do you want that for Wisconsin?

A soft.

Person on crime make so crop It's not again like he said he's not responsible for crime.

I mean these attack ads Some of them are quite toothless

Keith B. Parris

if you will yeah Yeah, and I think by the time you're going in corrected.

It's too late.

Damage is done.

Yeah, so let's pick it up.

What do you think?

414-444-525-0, 414-444-525-0.

We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.

5 FM with your host, Keith Parris.

All right, welcome back.

And the question I asked before we went to break, well, a couple of, well, the question is, and when we see some of this behavior, it seems that one, it's rather, I won't say it's organized, but it's targeted.

You know, it is it's it's like Who's suggesting that it's a great idea to show up someplace and fight and then here's the other thing you're getting maximum TV coverage, right?

I'm just I'm curious, you know, that's the conspiracy in me that you know, I noticed that Whenever there's a police shooting and there's a protest You always have people showing up right like

And these are like professional agitators.

So I just wonder, you know, how much of that and then how, then that is being used, right?

To justify certain policies or to justify behaviors, you know, by government.

I'm just wondering.

Call a welcome to the program.

Good

Keith B. Parris

morning.

Good morning.

Should I

Keith B. Parris

be concerned that

I'm

Keith B. Parris

the only one on my block with a crawly thing or is it too early still?

Are there any Tiffany signs on your body?

No, no, no.

That's what I'd be considered.

For like 90th in capital, that guy, he got these bigger times of Tiffany.

Um, but I'm wondering, like I was at an event where David Crawley's wife was there this past weekend.

It was, uh, uh, my Montgomery's event, which was really, really good.

And it was around 200.

I would say people, adults there.

and I might be overestimating, but it was a good crowd.

She was there.

And all I could think was, why would she have like little pamphlets or something like that to put inside the book bags, go to hand out to... Oh, she can't do that.

Oh, they can't?

No.

Oh.

Oh.

Well, she, she gave a little presentation, but I thought, why couldn't she do that?

No.

Like campaign on behalf of her spouse, Michelle Obama, dude.

Keith B. Parris

I don't think for that event people were there to get books.

Oh, you know and he's showing up to or she's showing up to show support But I don't think that and I don't know it gets into 501c3 stat there.

There's a lot There's a reason why that that didn't happen I don't put up any signs for anybody I know I and I and I don't

I don't, I try to be in this space and I don't give to political campaigns.

I've been getting a lot of solicitations, but as much as I can.

You vote?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

I just,

I don't

Keith B. Parris

see it as my responsibility to campaign for folks that.

I just that's one of the reasons why I don't do it.

No, no, no, I just I think that it's not for me to say who people should vote for.

And so it's up to the candidates, whoever they come in to be able to make their case and they don't need any editorial editorializing from me.

in terms

of what

Keith B. Parris

we do.

So I don't look, I have not missed an election since 1983.

I voted every

Keith B. Parris

election.

So no, I just don't, I think, you know, because then people come back and go, well, you know, he gave $500 to the Jermaine Rideout campaign.

So I don't know how you could be fair.

And then I have to even be careful, even in talking about the government.

governor's race because I have a business relationship with the county.

So technically, David Crowley would be my boss.

So, um, no, I just don't do it.

Okay.

I just wanted to ask for the conversation about the yard sign.

I found that it was, it's kind of eerie spooky, but then I know Milwaukee will turn out.

I just don't want to take it for granted that they're counting on our votes.

And then when I saw his spouse, I was like, why is he?

Hi, but I didn't get the whole 503 nonprofit thing.

So thanks for the explanation.

And go baby, Carly.

Keith B. Parris

All right.

Carla, welcome to the program.

Good morning.

Good morning.

First thing I want to say, before anybody puts something in front of the house, they need to be getting something before they vote.

Because we're not getting anything for our vote.

And we need to start weaponizing our votes.

And Mr. Parris, this is what I want to say very respectfully.

We don't care if your mama had seven kids and didn't pay her rent.

What are we getting for our vote?

We don't care if you had junkies in the house and they did good dope on Friday.

I know those dope on Sunday.

What are we getting for our vote?

We don't care if your mama had an abortion, your body, your choice.

What are we getting for our vote?

We don't care if you're from capital.

Atkinson, Chambers, Columbia, Santa, Locust, Keith, or Concordia.

What are we getting for our vote?

When we started giving something for our vote, maybe we'll put, maybe we will put something in our yard because we're not getting anything for our vote.

Furthermore, if they're going to blame Quali for being, for crying, and we're talking standards, right?

Where we all created equal, correct?

Right.

Okay, well, big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and big and

sitting in the toilet with Dinky sitting in our banding house.

Have you ever smell a rotten piss when you pull it up to our banding house?

You can smell it when you open the car door, okay?

Have a safe, a good morning.

Bye bye.

Keith B. Parris

Okay, I'm a little confused by the call, but I'm

always confused.

Keith B. Parris

Okay.

And right out you did get an answer to your question.

Which one?

About

Keith B. Parris

black airline?

Oh, about the airline, yeah.

Now, I know that it was this black guy from Atlanta that was trying to buy Spirit and they wouldn't let him buy it.

So he could have won

it.

Huh?

He probably didn't want it.

No, he did though.

He was going to put an organ in there and a pulpit.

And,

Keith B. Parris

you know, when they allow United and American basically to put all these other smaller airlines out of business, you know, that just made people, I was talking to my niece who was in town this weekend, and I was just telling her, you know, our experience coming back on American was awful.

First of all, they jam packed these planes, right?

I mean, just fill them with people.

It's uncomfortable.

No leg room, they reduced the leg room that you have in there so they can get more people on the plane.

Man, it will almost look like we're in India.

You see people in India on the trains where you got people riding on the top of the train and hanging all out.

That's how I feel like when you get in, it's like, yeah, what?

But shout out to the brother.

And just so you are right out at ask the question about black on airlines.

and Warren Hervey Wheeler on Wheeler Airlines, which was the first black-owned commercial airline certified by the FAA in the United States.

Who was Warren Wheeler?

As noted by the Sullenberger Aviation Museum in 1969, Warren Hervey Wheeler founded Wheeler Airlines.

He was born in Durham, North Carolina, in 1943.

He became the first black pilot for Piedmont.

I remember Piedmont Airlines in 1966.

It started as Wheeler Flying Service, offering training in charter flights.

The airline grew to connect small towns, major cities, including Routes to New York, Atlanta, Atlantic City.

It helped train many black pilots and open doors in the aviation industry before closing in 1991.

So thank you.

So you asked a question brother and then all the information gets out into the community Appreciate you brother.

Good job, brother.

You know sometimes, you know, you got to wait on the answer

Keith B. Parris

NFL starts tonight

Thursday

Keith B. Parris

Wednesday, who play

with

Keith B. Parris

it?

I think tonight they played in Australia.

Oh It's gonna be Thursday.

Oh, okay.

Okay, right.

So they starting Australia and then I don't know then you have the matchup

Don't the Packers got an overseas game this year?

I wonder if they do.

I think it's in London or something like that.

Keith B. Parris

Oh, let's see.

NFL.

First game.

Wow.

Man, the season.

Well, here it is, man.

You know, once football starts in about two and a half weeks is when you start seeing the

Keith B. Parris

colors on the trees.

No, the game tomorrow is in Australia.

Tonight is a rematch of the Super Bowl, New England Patriots versus Seattle Superhawks.

So they started the season early.

Yeah, early, I guess, earlier and earlier, man.

You know, just money.

That television money.

Greed.

Yeah.

So I won't go too much on the shield.

But let me, well, I don't know if y'all watching the Brewers.

Man, that walkoff again, two nights in a row.

Wow.

Two nights in a row.

Cheerio.

And again, this is what I was saying.

Now, you got to get them power hitters in there because when you need to get them runs in and hitting home runs and like in the playoffs is when it really counts.

So we need that because you in the playoffs, you have to capitalize off of mistakes.

Because whichever team capitalized off of the mistakes, it's going to be the team that's going to win the series.

Because it's less mistakes in playoff baseball.

So when they do make that mistake, you've got to capitalize.

I

Keith B. Parris

think it was, the pitching was good last night.

Both teams.

Because Boyd really, he shut him down.

Was it Boyd last night?

I

think it was

Keith B. Parris

Boyd.

But I would have thought man when Miguel came in and he got in trouble Yeah in the ninth inning I didn't know if it was gonna come back, but again You know the whole strategy is get to the coach bullpen and it that has proven to be successful in terms of Brewers getting timely hits, but Yeah, do a walk-off Luna Is that the name

Luna?

Yeah,

Keith B. Parris

yeah, yeah He doesn't speak English and But his manager said I got confidence in you he didn't have to hit a home run just hit a base hit the bases were loaded Yeah, and let me I have not been watching this dude, but Ben Shelton He beat Alcares last night in the US Open

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah.

And then let's see.

It's going to be Cocoa Golf.

And I'm trying to think.

So there, there, there potentially could be Americans in the finals.

This year, that hadn't happened for a long time.

So anyway, phone lines open 4144445250414444.

five, two, five, zero.

Let's see, riding piss here.

Yeah, that whole thing, people were talking about how, and it just came up here, how they're darkening David Crowley, which is crazy.

Also, I saw that documentary that Michelle was talking about.

Yeah, I saw that.

this dude and He gives these three young white women $45,000 a piece last year for Christmas one of them being Natalie Harp

45,000

Keith B. Parris

Wow this dude if if y'all don't think it's important to vote Just watch the news

Just watch the news if you don't think it's important to vote just watch the news.

It's amazing.

It's amazing what?

You know, you know part of Lonnie bunch leaving I Was listening last night and they were talking about how they want to Change this narrative around the Civil War Where you know, it was a what do they call it like this whole either or

didn't know Slavery was unequivocally evil and wrong Slavery throughout history has always been evil and wrong and For people to try to rewrite history First of all, they're already pulling back on what these folks did was success succession, right?

They tried to leave the country and talk about the Confederate States

you know of america the south so these people were treasonous and now we have this whole revisionist history where oh it was just a little dispute no no no and and it's all this little pecking away at real history right and and and so we need to know the history starts there with us

That's our responsibility because obviously if you're thinking other people are going to give you your history accurately, you're deceiving yourself, right?

This whole thing with white supremacy is real.

And that's what we're going to.

That's what they're appealing.

That's all they have because the policies are bankrupt.

Republican policies are bankrupt.

and in some ways are bankrupt in the country.

That big beautiful bill was gone in and given away all these taxes and now you gotta figure out how do we gain revenue?

Because we give a tax cut, that means taxes are not coming in.

At the same time, you have a government to run.

So right now, they're nibbling around the edges.

One of the things they do is you go in, you don't cut the program, right?

You don't cut it.

What you do is you make it more difficult to be eligible for the program.

Which is a cut Pretty much right, you know, and so those are the games that people play or that the real health care Changes won't kick in until January 1st, right?

So the Republicans were hiding that so when people run around.

Oh, no taxes on tips.

Okay Okay, I got that, you know, no taxes on social security.

I don't know what that is I don't even know what the threshold is on that.

Okay

But then if I'm giving away that to the people the minions What are the billionaires getting out of this deal?

Right and so for a whole lot of Republicans they they support that remember we were talking about the Republican Party one of the things with the Republican Party smaller government let's taxes let's regulations Right because for Republicans if it don't make dollars it don't make sense

So we kind of run around and then they'll get some of us off here on the social issues, right?

We'll be over here talking about this, but look at your pocketbook.

You got a war right now.

They just said that the price of a barrel of oil is going over $100.

But at some point that's translated into what you pay at the pump or the cost of transporting goods.

You know, you go in the store now and you just like, oh my God, it ain't even sticker shock anymore.

Right?

You numb.

It's like, well, what did I get that cost this much money?

So if you don't think that elections matter and that voting matters and not and here's the other piece of it.

And I'm down with Michelle with this.

You need to know the issues.

You need to know the issues.

You know, you just I appreciate your anger.

Appreciate your anger.

But you need to know what you're angry about.

You know, Keith.

I told you he was going to pick off enough people of color That's not that that didn't help But there were some other factors there like a million white men who normally do not vote showed up to vote So don't put that on black people that one on black people That one on black people that was Charlie Kirk and that organization turning out people who normally don't vote and the fear is

because they are such low propensity voters that then they're not going to show up the vote in this midterm.

Got to call it.

Call it, welcome to the program.

Good morning.

Good morning.

And thank you for taking my call.

You know something, Keith?

Smaller government and all that stuff, that sounds real good.

When people that are making it,

It's okay.

We're in a place now, either it's the have and the have not.

It's not a middle class in there anymore.

And I hope everybody do get serious and get out there and vote and know what the issues are.

And the number one thing is that we should have in mind being out there in public and party.

Making so they have to reach across the aisle in order to

to get things done.

Because number one, the way things are going, this man, somebody needs to be checking him.

Because I think he's getting a little seen now.

His actions are not normal.

And this woman is ridiculous.

They need to stop this.

They need to stop giving him money.

And between him and all his minions,

I don't know how much brain power is even in

there.

But the root cause of our problem, and those commercials, people please use your head.

David Cronick can't just do all this.

The range of taxes make life so miserable for you.

It starts in Madison.

It starts with your legislators, cast and billed.

Now, this Republican guy running for governor as well and having

grandmother, mother on the bank money.

He won't let this happen.

Yeah, but she don't have to worry about it.

But we do

Keith B. Parris

until she has to go into a nursing home and then the cuts to Medicaid where she needed a certain level of care, she won't be able to get.

Oh, you know something?

She's not gonna have a problem.

Let me tell

you

something about them.

When I must have been about 18.

And I was listening to some cases where people were putting their parents in nursing homes and all this kind of stuff.

And they had access, okay?

They may be in that nursing home six months, maybe two years, and then they're gone.

Okay?

So that money's not getting ate up.

And they think different than we do.

That figure.

And they figured out the rest of us, too.

If you 80 years old, you don't live a good life.

You don't live long enough.

You don't need nothing else.

And he's cutting so much stuff.

Where is the money that he was paying these people that he cut off their jobs?

Where is that money?

Stop giving this man money.

And where is Mitchell?

Where is Mitchell Connell?

Where is he?

Is he alive?

Okay, I'm sorry.

I'm just over it.

But I'm going to vote.

Have a great day.

Keith B. Parris

All right.

You too.

Yeah.

You're listening to Community Voice.

We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.

Hi, welcome back.

Right out.

Ask me a question.

You know, it's not just we're talking about the Brewers and it's not just what they're doing in the Central Division where they're nine up now.

So that that's pretty much decided the question is going to be where will they finish?

Will they finish with the best record in baseball?

David finished with the best record in baseball.

Not only to get a vibe, then they get home field advantage throughout, you know, the National League playoffs.

So that's what they're kind of doing right now.

And it looks like they're going pretty well.

I'm a little concerned.

And maybe I shouldn't be as concerned because they didn't look good against the Reds.

That series was just garbage.

But what is taken to, and maybe Chicago is a better team, what is taken to beat Chicago because you have to get to the bullpen.

They're not beating their starting pitchers.

Now, the argument could be made also that, well, no, because Mizorowski last night had another no decision.

He has a lot of no decisions.

But he gave up one run, dropped his ERA down to like 1.9 something.

So he's probably going to win the MVP.

But these have been some good games.

I mean, when you come down to it and then the fact

When the Rhonda and I we went to uh, we went to brunch on labor day and we went to a place called toast down in the third war pretty good But there were so many Cub fans there were so many Cub fans down in third war itself I'm uh, and then there were a lot of Notre Dame folks down there too Because of the Badgers so they oh man

I hate Notre Dame.

And I know Marcus Freeman is coaching them, but I hate Notre Dame.

I always hated

Notre Dame.

I don't know if it's their colors or if it's... I don't know, man.

It's just...

Keith B. Parris

I went to a Catholic college.

Oh, man.

Notre Dame is doing very well.

Now, I did like them.

I love the basketball team.

when Digger Phelps was there.

And that was Gary Bro call and John Schumade.

And a lot of people don't realize that one of the Paxton brothers played there, you know, Adrian Dantley, you know, I mean, I kind of liked, they had their own little thing.

And Digger Phelps was, they call him Digger because they talked about how undertakers in Irish culture was very well dressed.

So Digger means you're well dressed.

So he was always, he always had style.

I mean, just love what they did with the colors.

They were like Marquette.

But didn't, didn't, didn't like, and again, you got, you got Marcus Freeman, this brother out there.

So if you don't see me next week, just know I'm playing for the herd.

What are they?

Are they G-League?

Yup, Oscars.

So DJ come on out of retirement.

Let's go on up to Oscars and try out for the hurt.

See who make the team, brother.

Keith B. Parris

Y'all got health insurance, right?

I'm just asking.

I do.

Okay, just make sure you got health insurance, man.

One of my guys, he's...

We're going to be doing his funeral on Friday.

And they put me down as a pallbearer.

So I hope my back holds up.

The last thing you want to do is, you know, drop a coffin, right?

So good morning.

How are you?

So I was wondering if somebody would say, you know he had a back of knock on me.

Right.

Had a back of knock on me.

Yeah, you know.

Yes, I'll be a paul bear.

So I hope that uh They even put me down as an honorary paul bear put me down as a real paul bear.

Yeah, I mean I So anyway, let me do this as we prepare here and we have a guest in studio

with us good

morning

And you're here to talk about a very special event.

You guys are having on September 24th.

So welcome to Community Voice.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you for having me this

Keith B. Parris

morning.

No problem.

So tell us, what y'all got going on?

Man, so you know, every year we normally do our annual luncheon.

Okay.

put that back, there we go.

And this year, I say, you know, instead of doing the luncheon where we have a guest speaker and all of that, let's do something that's really going to be impactful for our businesses.

So we decided to do what we're calling a procurement boot camp to teach businesses that either are wanting to get into procurement or are in procurement, but just need to kind of strengthen their skill.

No, we hear that

Keith B. Parris

word procurement.

Explain that to

maybe some folks

Keith B. Parris

who don't know what

that is.

Absolutely.

So procurement is the process for accessing a kind.

So it's one thing for me to come to you and say, hey, you know what?

You have a business.

I have a business.

We want to, you know, let's do business together.

Procurement is a formalized systematic way of contracting.

And most medium to large businesses and corporations have procurement teams or people that are responsible for carrying out that work.

Keith B. Parris

So when we talk about this and you're saying a boot camp,

That's a little bit different.

What does a boot camp

look like?

So it's a boot camp.

You come, you bring your laptop, you bring your tools that you have, and we sit down and we'll actually be doing interactive work.

We'll be doing actual work.

Keith B. Parris

You know, you do this.

So what do you see as some of the things that require remediation when we have, and we're talking about black businesses?

What are some of those things that has to be fixed as they're trying to pursue procurement?

Yeah, so they need to know what they don't know.

I think there's a lot of information out there about how to do it.

There's a lot of snippets.

There's a lot of quote unquote experts, but they aren't really breaking down all of the tools from A to Z. And I feel like especially for our black owned businesses, we need to understand the tools that are necessary and then make sure that we're implementing them accordingly and getting the help.

that we need from actual experts so that we are successful in securing those contracts.

Keith B. Parris

It's the size of the business matter.

The size of the business does not matter.

The revenue matters and how long they've been in business matters most.

Keith B. Parris

And I guess I should have did a better sentence.

It's the size of the company or the business matter in terms of participating in the boot camp.

No absolutely not if you're if you're a one-person show you have a great service that you want to offer You can participate if you are a business that has less than five less than ten employees You can participate if you have an awesome product or a service and you want to increase your bottom line through contracts with Companies bigger than yours.

You should be at the boot camp

Keith B. Parris

You know, one of the issues is access to capital because a lot of black businesses are under capitalized with this kind of help in terms of people being better able to get capital to support the business.

So we'll have a workshop that talks about access to capital and when is the right time to pursue access to capital.

But what I want to say is.

I need businesses to be working on their bottom line every day, get customers.

So just keep working your business, getting more customers, getting yourself to a revenue line that's comfortable for you.

And then when you want to enter into this space of formalized procurement, you look strong on paper and you can access the capital you need maybe for expansion, equipment, more employees, et cetera.

Keith B. Parris

And maybe over and beyond what you do.

What about, and I know this is hard for some people, where you might combine with someone else, you know, in order to build, always believe that half of something is better than all of nothing.

That's

correct.

Keith B. Parris

Do you think we need to talk about that more in terms of a strategy?

towards success in business and black community?

Yes, and I think that when people come to the table to talk about that potential partnership, there's some real alignment, not only on the goals, but making sure it's a win-win for everybody at the table.

A lot of times when we see businesses try to come together to obtain a larger contract, there's a lot of back and forth with legal or what, you know, a particular business thinks they want and deserve versus the other business.

and if you are coming together two, three, four to make, to try to go for a prime position, make sure that you are creating something that's equitable and fair for everybody at the table because then it will go a lot smoother.

Keith B. Parris

Yeah, I just, you know, because sometimes you could have the same people doing the same thing.

Yes.

Where if they come together, want more resources, right?

Yes.

Which puts them in a better position to bid.

Right.

Right for a contract.

Right.

And to take a better position than maybe a subcontracting or what we call tier three, tier fours, which a lot of times is where businesses start, but they kind of stay in that tier.

They don't ascend to like a tier two or a prime, which is tier one, because they're not willing to think outside of the box that they're in.

Keith B. Parris

So who are some of the instructors or some of the organizations that's going to provide instruction?

Yeah, so our access to capital.

panel will be run by Ashley Lucas from Associated Bank.

She's one of the managers, and I'm sorry, I don't know her title, the formal title.

I know she's an SVP at Associated, but really talking about access and not just general access, but again, when you are going into procurement, when is the right time to borrow?

The second one, we're going to be talking about matchmaking and networking, making the connection.

How do you build relationships?

Dr. Keenan Grenell from Global Capital Group will be instructing that.

have Sabrina, Dr. Sabrina Robbins from Adina Workforce Solutions that will be talking about our capability statements and how to have a powerful one, because that is the one thing that a lot of businesses may have, but they're not strong.

No, she's not.

Keith B. Parris

No,

yeah, that's the other Robbins.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

And then we'll also have.

Let me think.

Hold on, Kate, it's too early for me.

Look, I got three, y'all.

And the other one is just as valuable.

Shannon Jefferson from Gibraltar Industries will be talking about pricing, how to price yourself if you're going towards a public sector or a private sector contract and how to make sure that you are pricing accordingly but competitively.

I will tell you that is the one thing that I see most businesses make the mistake and when they're looking to build their businesses, they're pricing.

They either go too low because they just want to get the bid and a lot

of times it causes them a lot of financial strain and ability to complete the job well and also

I've seen where people overprice, even though there might be a goal or something like a 5% in this public sector.

And it just all goes bad for them because they really don't understand how to price.

So we will bring in somebody that has done it on the private sector and the public sector.

And she will actually go through an exercise where people will learn how to price.

Keith B. Parris

all

Keith B. Parris

You're listening to Community Voice.

We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.

Keith Parris.

Oh, welcome back.

And again, the phone lines open 41444452504144445250.

I don't want to bring it up again, but you guys never answered my question yesterday.

So I said, you never answer my question.

That's all

right.

What was the question?

Keith B. Parris

I'm not gonna answer.

I'm not gonna answer again.

What?

Keith B. Parris

You gotta hear what?

The question.

What question?

The question you asked.

Keith B. Parris

Who's here?

Didn't hear it.

Wow.

He kinda look like he's here.

What we talking about?

Who gonna be watching the Bucks?

Oh, there you go.

I'm going to be watching the Bugs because I'm a Bugs fan.

I'm more than a Bugs fan, I should say.

Keith B. Parris

Hey, there's plenty of room in the back of the bandwagon for y'all.

Come on.

When we jump off, we can jump off together.

I think that the Bugs is going to surprise a lot of people, man.

That's what I think.

I think that we're going to surpass expectations.

And you know, like the time when we hit Michael Redd and we didn't have any stars, but we just had good players.

And they played hard and they surprised a lot of people, man.

That's just what I think.

And we still got one of the best shooters in the game.

Keith B. Parris

I think, you know, I mentioned to my sister-in-law that there's possibility, oh man, wouldn't they play in Miami?

That we might go down to Miami to see them play the heat.

And those are the only two televised games that the brothers got on national.

Keith B. Parris

Against the

heat.

Yes.

Yes.

I

Keith B. Parris

guess that makes sense.

Well, yeah, they really won't be honest to destroy his OT because they didn't want the others here in the first

Keith B. Parris

place.

I didn't want the others here.

National media.

National media didn't want the others here.

So they always push for him to either go to the big market,

New York,

LA.

You know, go somewhere like that, but they didn't want to get that's all they talked

Keith B. Parris

about.

No, first of all, did nobody know who this dude was until he got here?

I'm talking about the once he

got here.

Keith B. Parris

Okay.

Once he got here, once he got

here and they saw who he was and he was the first thing they were saying is Ken Milwaukee keeper.

This and this and that.

Milwaukee and you know, the city too small.

It's a small marketing.

You honestly need to be somewhere in the big market.

and this and this so he can get endorsements.

That's how Miami getting shoe deals and banding movies.

Keith B. Parris

Okay, so the first game they play in Miami is November 18th.

And then the second time they play Miami.

It's January, ain't it?

Yeah, right now tickets from $34.

Take a look at this.

No, just in Miami.

In Milwaukee it is low as...

$134 for the first game, $75 for the second game.

And I'm sure that that's going to go up depending on how the team is playing.

That's a Wednesday.

Keith B. Parris

And then that's a Thursday on the 4th.

OK,

I don't

Keith B. Parris

think it was driven by Yannis.

Yannis is gone.

So it's going to take a while for Bucks fans to adjust.

Now, if they become competitive and they play hard and people like that, but man, there's people out there with season tickets because, you know, even when they, they were okay, you still had Yanis, right?

Well, even when Yanis would hurt, we would still win without

Keith B. Parris

him.

Yeah.

But you know, eventually he was coming back.

He ain't coming back

now.

Well, eventually he might come back.

Because he said that that's where he wanted in his career.

Keith B. Parris

No, no,

no, what I'm saying is

Keith B. Parris

the season coming back.

Yeah,

Keith B. Parris

yeah, yeah.

That's so they're going to have to figure it out.

I think as far as players stepping up.

I think you're really going to see Ryan Rollins step up and Turner, man.

No.

I mean, I'm with you on that.

I'm

Keith B. Parris

with you on that.

But, you know, and I hate, you know, because people, we always talk about people

being

Keith B. Parris

unlimited potential.

No.

Matter matters.

You know, if you 5'11", you 5'11".

And I don't care how much you like to think you 6'10".

You still 5'11".

Talent is still talent.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, you're right.

You know, and so do you think the others?

Do you think the others will have a great season in Miami?

He could.

Keith B. Parris

He could.

I mean, they get down and they figure it out.

You know, hey, man, here's what we need to do.

We can make a good run.

I think he could because they got Clay.

Now, I think they're going after Kyrie.

So they're going after Kyrie.

I don't know how they're going to pull it off, but they're going after Kyrie.

And Sam with the lineup that they got now with Mitchell

Keith B. Parris

sometimes you I know people we talked about you want the most talent But you need somebody on there who's gonna be the glue.

Yeah, so the question is who's gonna be the glue on that team?

You know, I Don't like getting back to the bucks.

I don't see Tyler hero thinking that he needs to carry the team

He'll do what he has to do.

And I think that's what's in his mind because they kind of pitched in like he's really the star of the team.

He's

Keith B. Parris

the face.

Well, because he was part of the trade.

Part of the trade and he's coming back home from where it all started.

Now, don't get me wrong.

He could score.

You know, he could put up 30 easy, but he came when he

Keith B. Parris

ain't on the floor.

Yeah, I know it's hurt a lot.

And that's just because.

You know, you're good, but the physical, you know, like LeBron James is built, right?

And he has been since he was young.

So he withstands, you know, he pretty much goes injury-free a little bit more now because he's

older.

I mean, he flopped.

Keith B. Parris

Well, whatever.

Yeah, that's why you're injury-free.

You flop and get protected.

But that's a whole different conversation.

Okay.

He's

Keith B. Parris

a star if you breathe on him call the file, you know Let's see I agree caller believe this illegal war and a disrespect of farmers will have an impact I think so too You

know they were

Keith B. Parris

interviewing a cattle rancher surprisingly a meat producer down in West Virginia

And he was just talking about just how the cost of everything is going up.

And then what some of these meat producers were doing was purposely sending the herd so then they could bring up the cost because your prices are based on demand.

And so if you lessen the availability of something, the cost of it goes up.

So you go in now and they almost give away chicken.

you know I mean chicken is so cheap now and um remember during COVID those chicken wangs they got expensive but here's the thing people raise the prices but they don't drop the prices when their prices go down

at all because they know man that you can maintain it once you pay at one time they know just like with gas prices right gas is never going to go back down to a dollar and 99 because they know that people will and can pay

$3 a gallon, $2 a gallon, $4 a gallon.

So let's just play on the people.

Even though we might be able to lower the gas to $1.99 a gallon, we know that they're paying it at this price.

So let's leave it there.

Keith B. Parris

How many of y'all are going to watch the Republican midterm convention tonight and tomorrow night in Dallas?

It's tonight.

Yeah.

Now, I saw on the news that there was a bunch of Republicans

That wasn't going cuz I guess he tried in a hundred thousand dollars or something like that, right?

And they need money and

Keith B. Parris

they go taking the money you taking the money from us

which makes no sense because You taking the money that's needed for the midterm elections and You want them to pay a hundred thousand dollars minutes so they was interviewing

Some of the Republicans asked him if they was going and you should have heard some of the excuses.

Oh, no, I can't go.

My son has a game.

I promised him I wouldn't miss any game.

Oh, well, you know, I have to cook for the kids.

And

Keith B. Parris

I have to find a cure for cancer.

Right.

Keith B. Parris

That part.

So I would be there.

But if I would find a cure for cancer, I'd definitely be there.

I got to go wrestle the bear in the woods.

I'm sorry.

Keith B. Parris

Yeah, this dude man and and people said though, it's in a tough situation because you've enabled it all along Now it's hard for people to step up now They were saying part of it was it wasn't most of these people got through their primaries.

Maybe they might grow some but it doesn't It is

I hope they get all the people all of the rotten people

up out of there, man.

Like they had their season, they had their time.

And let's get the moron people up out of there, man.

Keith B. Parris

And, you know, Ken Paxton is so confident, I guess he figures in spite of everything that's going on with me, you know, because, and in that, you know, what Michelle always talks about selective outrage, but isn't it funny how we do selective morality?

Like we hold certain people to a certain moral standard and we look the other way and then other folks, you know, wrath of God kind of judgment on them.

I can't believe he wore a tan suit.

You know, I mean, it's like, so, you know, some of this behavior, it has always been politicians, you know, are humans.

So there's always been bad behavior among politicians.

But now that, you know, for some people as a disqualifier and then for others, it's not.

I'm trying to figure.

As long as you vote the way I want you to vote, then I could care less about your character or your mirror or your morality.

Well, first of all, this last episode of of where in the world is Donald Trump.

Supposed to be on a plane, but he get off the plane and get into another one Those people that was on that decoy plane or that plane that would have been shot down if they was gonna shoot That would tell me that the leader that I consider my leader don't care anything about me and That wouldn't sit well with me going forward because now I know

Now I know that hey wait a minute though.

You would kill me and You know put me out in front push me out in front of the truck or the car So you can keep going because they're young lady supposed her name Carolyn?

I can't love it.

Okay She just had her baby a couple days before that trip, right?

It was like a week or something before that trip keeping that couple weeks, right?

So by her having a newborn

And now saying that you will put me in harm's way and not even tell me I'm in harm's way is crazy.

For the other blonde?

And took the other blonde.

The younger version?

So it's more like, oh, well, you can have her.

I don't, you know, see I, but I'm taking her.

So if something happened to take her, but I got this one.

Sound like a plan when

Keith B. Parris

I was gonna

say

Well, I'm not going to criticize it for that

anymore.

Keith B. Parris

Get back to criticizing

for

Keith B. Parris

policy.

Call

and

Keith B. Parris

welcome

to

Keith B. Parris

the

program.

Good

Keith B. Parris

morning.

That

moment

was a Kodak moment.

Good morning.

Hey, good morning.

I'm missing something, man.

Can you guys enlighten me?

Because I've been kind of out of the loop with names.

You were talking about something about a lady, a truck or somebody that a lady put her in harm's way.

Can you explain that to me?

Keith B. Parris

No, they were talking about that whole thing when he got on the.

He certainly typically got on there.

Typically there's such a word he got on a flight.

He the people he left on what they called the decoy play.

We're cabinet members.

It was his press secretary and only people he took was the dude that worked with him down in Mar-a-Lago.

Pete Hesse.

No, no, Pete Hesse was on the plane with

him.

Keith B. Parris

There's Marco Rubio that was on the other plane.

So it was sort of three planes, wasn't

Keith B. Parris

it?

Yeah, but Pete Hesse, Natalie Hart.

So, you know, and there's a documentary out there about all the substitutes they went through to make sure he knew that one plane wasn't safe and then the other plane could have been a target, but he made sure he wasn't on that plane.

This first time I heard about it, but guess what, man?

You telling me about the decoy situation, which I've looked at that in all kind of angles with the decoy guy, even with the fake gun, even with the fake hand.

I've looked into the decoy thing.

So I mean, I think they all kind of do that, but you know, they don't personify that thing.

Keith B. Parris

No, they said there have been two other instances where I think Obama's secretly traveled

some place and Bush secretly traveled someplace.

But I don't think they put the press where if if the Iranians were really intent on trying to shoot down that plane, he wasn't going to be on it, but he had other people on it and he didn't even let people know.

And then the reason why, you know,

that the idea of having a decoy plane wasn't supposed to let the people

Keith B. Parris

know.

Well, I know when

When Marine One flies from the White House, there's several helicopters that go up that look like it to go up.

So you had that.

But in this instance, people were saying that,

you know... Listen, when those guys travel with a Hunter Rods, they split it up, and we don't know who on which helicopter or which Air Force One or whatever.

So, you know, that's just something for somebody to talk about.

I thought it was somewhere.

if somebody was left somewhere and you know like like like biden being in afghanistan uh left all of our equipment over there and uh and you know something else man what happened to those afghanis that we let into the country uh on the temporary state or did we give them all amnesty because if they send back

Keith B. Parris

donations a lot of them could a lot of them could get back couldn't get in the country

He

Keith B. Parris

was talking about taking away their status

Okay, we've got to make sure see first of all with my FBA brothers.

All right My understanding was that it's okay.

We understand about the Africans coming in and claiming

that they want reparations for their ancestors as well, because it was they people that was treated and all this.

Okay, we understand that's the right with the FBA and the Africans and the Caribbean's.

Okay, because they believe it or not, they're advocating for if there ever be any reparations, they want to get paid for their ancestry or being tortured.

That's the problem that we have with those people.

Uh, so, so listen, but there are no hanging fruit.

Okay.

We know that that's easy work, man, to get them out of here.

Okay.

That's real easy work.

And it's not that many of them compared to the, uh, Hispanic speaking people.

And when I say that, I ain't just talking about Mexicans.

I'm talking about the whole, uh, big deal of these people that come in, you know, from, from all these Spanish speaking countries.

See, that's the real challenge that, and so even though I want them people out of here, I understand that that's low.

That's low hanging fruit.

Okay, and just what if they would come here and pay homage to the Negro that laid the mop and the groundwork for them and understand that the black man, they don't do that because of the simple fact they come right to the hero.

They want to be on the hero side and then you got to ask yourself, who don't want to be on the hero side?

Who don't want to be on the so-called winning team, right?

So when these people come into the country and we are always advertising and putting our misery and past on this.

play.

I mean, it wasn't part of that, though, man, because we always put it on display.

And it's on display all around the whole world.

Now, it would take decades and generations to undo what we have been.

We and you, our generation, talking about what we've been and we're still on slavery right now.

We won't let it go.

And I'm not saying to let it go.

But what I am saying is that when you

blow it up and for a fight, make it huge.

And it is a big thing and constantly dwell on it.

And who wants to come and be a part of that?

So they come in and they grab on to that and show that there we are.

I thought it was something that the man had done.

Did recently I was at sleep or something in the negative.

The white would have written

and put

folks

Keith B. Parris

because yesterday he lied about 9 11 and his involvement in 9 11, given the impression that he had gone down to ground zero.

as it when it was happening when in fact he hadn't and they were saying he was in trump tower so yeah he didn't give us everybody want to be a hero man

that's just like kfd done got himself in trouble because he was playing on it i bet you kfd really ain't had much to do with it and he should have took the stand in total look man everybody was eating these the book office that came up here i thought because i was a close to those entourage

I would, I never said I actually did it, but I gave a persona that I did because I wanted to eat as well.

Hey, look, if y'all lock me up, it's wrong, but I had to eat and I made it seamless though.

I knew when I was, you know, I was that guy, but at the same time, look where he at.

So Donald Trump wanted to be a hero, probably say he was down in the bus and grab one man out and put the baby in his bag and came out with dust on his face.

You know, let's be realistic.

Like Jesse Jackson, when Dr. King got killed, he was back in Chicago with some blood on his shirt.

So he was down there playing over the man, and one of the blue shots was Jesse.

Keith B. Parris

He was there when he got shot.

He was

there when he got shot.

The King family never forgave him for that.

But everybody won't give you up, man.

So it's Donald

Trump.

And then

Keith B. Parris

Giuliani says that Madonna shouldn't be there, right?

He shouldn't.

But the Giuliani administration withheld air quality.

status, so a lot of people got sick because the air quality was worse than the New York City was reporting that it was.

You can't forget about Josie.

Josie

Keith B. Parris

had bad quality, man.

And then Bloomberg, you know, but yeah, they covered it up.

Adams.

All right, man.

Listen, hey man, that's that's you know, that's them people man, but that's what I was calling but that's something that happened overnight man.

Yeah, he probably did go down there.

He went

down there.

He was

in town.

He

went down there.

I'm just saying in the folk story, brother, the folklore, the folk story, he moved down there and got six people out and we brought you out with a wheeled bow and had

Keith B. Parris

one on his

back, you

Keith B. Parris

know.

The

Keith B. Parris

what?

The hole.

But he went down there.

you know, where the, where the Twin Towers were, have you ever seen them?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I've been around there all up and down Canal Street all around, all up through there.

I mean, I've got that room real quite often, man.

It's a little 12 hour ride for me.

Keith B. Parris

We were there maybe a year because they were still at and now we were there after they did the memorial.

Yeah.

Before they did that, man, that was that just shows you how big those buildings were and how big of a space it took up.

You

know what bothers me don't keep you know that $20 bill when you fold the back of it and you see the 20

hours on fire and where the planes actually hit Yeah, that's that that part right there and I saw that 20 years ago and It's in the exact spots

That tells me, that tells

me years ago, that tells me that this could have been a threat.

Because George Bush really made history, man.

He first changed the currency.

He had the first black astronaut to go up and we lost that.

We lost the 9-11.

A lot of things, man.

That bush, man.

That bush go down in history, man, being under a lot of things.

And then that $20 bill really messed me up with this cat because it hit too exact in the middle of the spot.

And that $20 bill was done before they came down.

See, I can see if it was after.

But it came, that was introduced to our currency before.

So we talked about it.

It might have been a Skull and Bone game.

a plan because it was something else.

I don't know the bad side of that.

But anyway, listen, what I gotta tell you is that, yeah, man, I thought it was something new, man.

I thought it was something new.

But you have to look at a lot of fat and, you know, a lot of games we played, man.

And it's just a game, you know?

It's just a game, man.

You know, when you swore it's a real secret.

See, I ain't talking about that.

A lot of that old paternity stuff, but real stuff, man.

You

know, if people, you know, there's a light man and a lot of it is just, you know, it's, it's fun and games, man.

Cause life, you know, let me go.

Keith B. Parris

Life is a

song.

I'm

Keith B. Parris

surprised Arizona didn't call in to talk about the game

tonight.

Hmm.

Yeah, you probably going to talk you up.

You're going to call.

Put me through a fail.

He's gonna call me like put me through fail All

Keith B. Parris

right, so brews win tonight Who's preaching the Henderson's preaching preaching?

Pitching

Keith B. Parris

tonight.

Oh, I think that the brewers might lose this one

Keith B. Parris

It's okay though.

They got they got the series.

Yeah, they got the series.

So they probably won't You know play as hard

Keith B. Parris

And you know what, now talking about Luna, it was good he got that hit.

Yeah.

Keith B. Parris

Because remember, he did the challenge on

an

obvious strike.

Yeah.

And lost.

And lost it.

It was their last challenge.

Like, oh, here he comes.

Look at this.

No, you didn't.

Keith B. Parris

Carla, welcome to the program.

I said, hello.

Hello.

Put me through, fam.

You rang?

I told you it was going

to come on.

I told you it was

going to come on.

It's a right time.

A

country or friend.

And

Keith B. Parris

yeah.

You rang?

So what's going to happen to me?

They're gonna get a ring and they're gonna drop the banner today, man.

Keith B. Parris

I'm talking

about the

Keith B. Parris

game You know the number won't be changed tomorrow if that's not the

outcome

Keith B. Parris

You might you You might become a

bandwagon

All right, man.

So give me a score.

Give me a prediction.

I'm thinking I think it's 21 seven.

21 seven.

All right.

Appreciate you.

All right.

Call it.

Welcome to the program.

Hey, man, that's all with the boys.

Anybody want to bet against the boys?

Tell them in the city.

Uh, Mississippi, Mississippi, not all the boys from here on air.

World Series.

So do

Keith B. Parris

you think it'll get to 100?

100

wins?

Yeah, no, they don't get to 100 wins.

They don't want to break that kind of record.

Oh,

Keith B. Parris

more than that.

I think it's like 13, 15, something like that.

But they can get to 100.

Do you think they're going to finish with the best record in baseball?

Yeah, they will finish with the best look at the baseball.

No doubt about that.

Keith B. Parris

They're going to do

it.

But I always see them worried about them.

The player is the Dodger in St.

Louis.

They're the only two teams in the world.

Keith B. Parris

St.

Louis at this point, they had no threat.

No threat.

Well, I'm trying to come to the playoffs.

I don't know.

I don't think St.

Louis was in that wild card chase.

And I think also Chicago wild card.

Well, it looks like that like the Brewers going to win the Central Division.

Yeah, they're

Keith B. Parris

going to win that.

They're going to win

that.

They're going to win that, no doubt about it.

I was at their last night to the game.

I went to the game last night out there.

It was a lot of tension, wasn't it?

Yo, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

There was a lady behind me talking every time she tried to strike out the Brewers.

The Brewers struck out.

Now we're calling it a game by how I'm going to say we're going to strike out y'all, too.

Yeah,

Keith B. Parris

I mean I had a Chicago people last night.

You hear the fans.

Man, they're quite my brother.

My brother, you know, he always called me up with Chicago.

I called him up.

He was at Casino.

I said, we will be our end casino.

He said, nah, man.

I said, you watch this walk off.

We woke up on him.

Keith B. Parris

Yeah, we woke up on that young boy hit that ball.

Yeah, I think, you know, both both those games.

of the ninth inning when they got the guy out before Crow Armstrong came up.

So he just hit a single home run, didn't do any damage.

And then the defense, they really do have a good defense.

Have a good defense.

That

boy caught that ball in about the 7 and 18 and saved that game when they're doing two on the base.

When he called that ball, they would say the blue is right there.

That ball wouldn't get that ball.

He put me in the mud and I was playing down in Mississippi.

I didn't sit down and took balls, come out of the air like that.

When they popped that ball up in the air, I didn't say, go run up on it

Keith B. Parris

and sit down.

You got the tape?

Yes.

You got some tape?

Yeah,

Keith B. Parris

I got some tape.

We want to

see some tapes.

Keith B. Parris

Hey, we need some receipts,

man.

Chief, let me tell you something, no joke.

I used to play baseball, right?

Okay.

And I used to, they used to hit a ball up in the air.
