Power, Politics & Paid Promises

The views and opinions of the hosts and guests of this program are of their own, and not a reflection of Milwaukee Black Media or 1017 The Truth.

Good afternoon, Milwaukee.

You're tuned in to the lunch break on 1017 The Truth, where everything is an option on the menu.

And one thing about me, I'm a tough cookie, but I know what I can do.

And I'm not suffering.

All right.

I fought my whole life.

I'm all right.

Excuse me, Cletus.

Hoppa, who this man?

I wasn't doing it.

So I was like, I'm not paying $1,000 to sleep on somebody couch.

Grab your lunch, hit send on that email, and get ready for the best hour of your day.

My way of thinking is that the parents do all they can.

But once the kids leave off that door, whatever have you, they make their own decisions.

I don't care if you 9 or 99.

It's still your decision about the situations that you didn't bob yourself in.

We talking about tax paying citizens.

Look into their taxes.

Look into this.

We talking about elected officials doing backdoor deals and somehow she still wanna blame immigrants.

That's what we talking about right now.

We following the money and you still wanna blame black people and immigrants and welfare and all of these things for policies and backdoor deals that put poor people in worse position.

Live from the American Family Insurance Studio at the Third Street Market Hall.

Like you said, they want to pat their pockets, but they need a reason to push things through.

And I guess the low-hanging fruit is, OK, well, this is a problem, right?

Y'all want to fix the problem, and they just hope nobody looks into it like, wait, when did food trucks

become an issue?

We got a pretty interesting show.

We had a great show yesterday.

Gator folks, some updates on the Nolan situation.

We also talked about something that.

That was important to Shannon, not being able to date the the go to guy in the family.

But before we get into the show today, man.

You know, we want to make sure that you all are staying warm today.

It's hot.

It's hot in the city.

It's hot in the city.

The heat advice.

The heat advisory through 8 p.m.

Wednesday for all of Southeast Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, Kenosha, Ozaki, Washington and beyond.

All right.

So they say they can feel is anywhere from 100 to 100.

That's that's Vegas numbers.

Jesus.

Above a honey

top of it.

It's not a dry heat.

Like it's all moist

like

sticky and

Yeah, it's it's a humid humid heat that's happening So please please do not leave your kids in the car.

Please do not leave

around kids dogs

Don't leave food.

Even

for a few seconds.

Man, please.

It's hot.

Don't do it.

Don't even crack a window.

Don't leave nobody in them cars.

Literally, for my car, it shows what the temperature is inside the car, and it will reach 150 sometimes.

So if y'all care about whatever y'all got, don't leave it in the car.

I'll tell you that right now.

Shoes and stuff like that.

Whatever that can melt, it will melt in these type of temperatures.

So, what do you say?

Be cognizant of that.

Absolutely.

And also be cognizant of knowing your rights during these type of things.

Wisconsin Laws bars utilities from disconnecting electric services while a heat advisory slash warning is in effect.

So if you've been disconnected for non payment or the utilities, they must make a responsible attempt to reconnect it.

Um, and then also where to get cool off for free.

You could call or text impact 211 text your zip code to find the nearest cooling center.

Um, any Milwaukee public library during business hours, plus the health department, uh, designated cooling sites and senior centers.

So stay hydrated, y'all stay hydrated.

It is hot is hot in.

So hot in here.

Church is open during things like this.

Let's clap it up for Homo Blow, man.

Our truth.

Per Padre, one half of the morning show with Homer Blower Bailey Coleman in the morning was celebrated down at City Hall today for celebrating 35 years, 35 years in radio.

Clap it up once again for that.

That is an amazing achievement.

And we gon' give him some more claps too because not only was he celebrating 35 years in radio, he was also celebrating 32 years of the Homer Blow Youth Birthday Party that he does 100% free, doesn't charge the community anything, gives away toys, bikes, gifts, all types of amazing things that he does on his birthday.

for young people, so shouts out to homo blow man, well deserved, well, well honored down at City Hall and shouts out to the truth family that was able to go down there and attend, shouts out to Meach and CC.

35 years in radio.

Crazy.

holding it down, man.

That's what's up.

Congratulations to him.

And then I love what he's doing with the kids for his birthday.

That's

something that

I strive to do after I'm done partying.

You know what I'm saying?

I could save some coins and do something for the kids on my birthday.

I like that.

Man, what I will say about Blow 2, man, is I don't know.

A lot of people don't know.

I had, when I was in school, before music took me elsewhere,

in

my

grades, in my college grades.

They tried to blame the music.

Well, you know, I was focused.

I wouldn't focus on the lectures.

I was focused on the pen.

But, you know, I did go to Concordia for two years for radio broadcasting and mass communications.

And when we got out of that, when we got out of that, I did intern at V100.

But after V 100 and as I got older, me and the homie know when we have fly gang popping back in the day.

I want to say 2009, 2010 or something like that.

Homer blow, you know, he has his own radio show.

So blow to me was doing the podcast and before.

podcasting was even a thing.

He had the network before having a podcast network was even a thing.

And we was on that network, man.

And I could say that I was, I'm proud to have been a part of that.

And he was ranked in the world, not the nation, like in the world.

Like I'm not mistaken, blow.

If you listening, call in and correct me because I know blow don't like, you don't let.

false facts just sit out there about his his his resume.

But I want to say he was top five in the world for a couple of few years, if I'm not mistaken.

So it was it's dope to see that is dope to see where it has grown to completely, completely, completely proud of and salute to

home a blow.

That's how you say

it.

That's

how you say it.

That's how you do it.

That's his stuff.

That's his stuff.

That's

his stuff.

That's his stuff.

Hey We

need a new one Man

look that's my uh airfare

man, please call it please call it man

If you got a home or blow story, we'd like to hear a home or blow story.

If you know blow, even if you just call in the shouty mouth, 833-212-1017.

It's Tuesday.

Is it talent Tuesday today, Shannon?

You

freestyling?

Man, it's talent Tuesday.

You know, I've been working on my freestyles, but I'm just going to keep them to myself at this time.

So I'm going to give the floor to you, a professional.

And I'll be the hype, man.

I told you, I got one verse in me, not even one verse.

I

just want to

say, move your body,

girl.

So you freestyle and I do the ad-libs.

Oh, man.

Milwaukee Amanda said, Homer Blow was our DJ at H2O.

He show was.

He showed.

Homer Blow was the eight.

Oh, man.

Zach said, what was H2O?

It was Club H2O.

I feel like I

remember the name, but that

was the real name.

She said only real ones remember that.

You see, and this is why I'll be saying some of the things I say, Shady, because you say something like that.

But yeah, man, H2O was a popular team club back in my days.

When I was a team.

Well, I know about

a team.

I remember hearing H2O, but I wasn't a team.

Show number two and I told you I told you I've told you show number two in the world.

That's what it was show number two in the world not like Blow radio calm and I'm proud to have been a part of that and to see where it grows grow to now but to do that back then before podcasting was even a thing and

And I don't think people realize how big of a platform that was not just for Milwaukee music, but for black Milwaukee Shannon, like the outlet that he was providing for for businesses, organizations, people that just had stories that was typically being silenced by other media companies and so forth.

So he really, in my opinion, opened up the

the floodgates for even people understanding

what online

radio could look like and so

forth.

So shout out to Homer Blow, man.

She said, you got to be born in the 80s to know about H2O.

Strawberry Pasha said facts.

Hey,

I was on day two.

I was on day two.

We didn't disrupt anything.

Yeah, man, I hurt myself a little bit trying to step over that joint.

But let's get back on track here.

Shannon, you had the internet buzzing yesterday.

The go-to guy.

You said he ain't getting on the program.

You said he ain't getting on the

program.

You

already know

his mama's program.

Me and Amanda had to talk about this too.

I want

to hear what

she said.

I know that's

right.

I knew my girl.

She's still in the chat.

Anyway, quick recap for the new listeners.

The viral take.

Women saying no to dating the man who's the designated fixer for every woman in his family.

Yesterday's polls and calls split the room.

The endless child tax angle hit a nerve and so forth.

So we just want to know, like, you know, is that person that, like, shut it?

Like, we didn't get to get into it.

So we would like to know your thoughts.

No, no, she in the chat.

She didn't drop the eyes in the chat.

So yeah, I'm going to be quiet on this one.

Because I want to hear your take on it.

I don't think

I have a dog in this fight.

I'm not looking for the the guy I think this was a question the question was specifically geared towards you know

Women, can you date?

And I don't think I qualify to answer this.

So I'm more so proposing the question.

I'll give you

a question after I answer the question you gave me.

I

have a question for you.

Sounds good.

Sounds good.

OK.

So when you you said the women in his family, he's the designated fix it person, go to person.

So that's like beyond just your mom.

And even when it's just your mom being the designated go-to fixed person is like that's a lot when you have your own family now when you're married or when like even like when you're like courting somebody things are getting serious like

I wanna know that there's an off switch.

I wanna know that there's boundaries.

I don't wanna date somebody that doesn't have any boundaries even when it comes to your mom or whoever else.

Just because at the end of the day, you have to put yourself first.

I'm the type of person in my family where if my parents need something, I'm gonna do it.

But I also know that they're not gonna ask me for too much.

They're not gonna call me every single time there's an issue.

They're not gonna expect me to put

them above everybody else and just drop everything because they're also self-sufficient.

And I've seen a lot of times with some homegirls with people in my life that these people that are, oh, this is the go-to person, they have some sort of entitlement.

Because I know those types of people where it's like, if I call my son, he

better

answer.

I don't

care what he doing or who he with.

Like,

what?

Look, my son

paid all my

bills.

Like, hold on now.

All right now, like he's with a chosen family now.

That'd be crazy.

I couldn't even imagine dating somebody with a parent like that.

Like, you know what they are?

That's your girl now.

You have at it.

Like, and I wouldn't want to be a parent like that where I'm completely reliant on my child.

That's wild to me.

Like for emotional support, for financial support, for fixed man, you better download task, grab it and get a job at Walmart, boo.

Like what's going on?

Darn it.

Dagnabbit.

Silly varmint.

Silly varmint.

Biscuit eating bulldog.

Being on

the radio taught me how to say bad words better.

You said biscuit, what a bulldog.

What did you just say?

Biscuit eating

bulldog.

Biscuit eating bulldog.

What is that?

You know what?

I don't even got the brain to compute it right now.

But it's funny because I'm gonna let you ask the question you had to ask me.

Biscuit eating bulldog is crazy.

So my question is...

What is it?

I'm sitting here trying to figure out... I'm gonna ask you a question and I'm gonna let

you think about it.

No, I was sitting here trying to think like, what does that smell?

Same though.

I was trying to say it like super fast.

That's

what I thought if you was on your sugar honey iced tea That's what I thought So I'm sitting here like

it's from that commercial.

Do y'all remember dirty mouth clean it up And they came in and it was are you

Lies it's so popular.

I gotta know

you're you're the bad kids.

I bet you

some people

listen It doesn't stand for anything is what we

just discovered, but yeah

back

to the

question

If you had, I don't, look, I don't know your personal family structure, right?

But if you had two sisters, a mother that would call you anytime, even when you with your family and feel entitled, like, well, I'm your mom, drop everything, come quick, Craig's in trouble.

Would you be that person?

Like that doesn't even sound right to be like a like this my mom I can't pay our bills today because I got to pay my mom a bill still like that's wild to me like that thought process like is what a lot of these I feel like these mothers Like what do they call this on tiktok?

They call it boy mom syndrome if you thinking like they dated and they son like you have to give this man space and you have to let him become his own person and have his own family like he's

You are not your child's responsibility.

Like to an extent, yes, but it gets to the point where they really think that they are entitled.

Like they are your wife.

Then that's when you ask that question.

That's what my mind goes to because I've seen that situation so many times.

Like I do understand being like, you know, my mom's short this month.

I'm looking out.

My sister need a little something.

I got you.

But when you're constantly running to their back and call, that's overwhelming.

Like.

You just be with the move back in while it's cool.

Um, I got an answer.

Don't know

that.

Welcome back, welcome back to 101.7 The Truth award-winning, 101.7 The Truth.

Make sure you guys give us a call and weigh in on these conversations that we're having at 833-212-1017.

You can also text that line.

Or you can join the chat, we're on 101.7 The Truth on YouTube.

Ray, you said you had an answer to my question.

Oh, fish out food.

Let me, let me, let me

ask

you.

I'ma create a whole list of things I can say other than cuss words.

I love it.

They're giving us a list.

They said that was the Orbitz gum commercial, Shannon.

They knew it in the chat.

They

knew

it in the chat.

Jasmine said, you

lit liquor.

Yes, you lit liquor.

All right,

Shannon.

She said that a little too excited.

Lit

liquor.

If

y'all would have seen her on YouTube, actually, the way

Her mouth said that the way it came off way too

easy.

That's how she said

it.

Oh, she said that in a commercial too.

You know what?

I think I'm starting to remember it.

I think I'm starting to remember it.

She's like, oh, you little liquor.

Yeah, let's start.

If you can in the chat, shout out to our chat.

Give us a list of acceptable phrases that we can say.

I like lint liquor, fish-eyed fool.

I like fish-eyed fools a lot.

You don't like biscuit eating bulldog?

That one is aggressive.

Revisiting it.

I like

that one.

Look, it's too close to really cussing somebody out.

You might go on a fight after that one.

Sound close to a different kind of insult.

My answer sounds very derogatory.

Right.

My answer, Shannon, is I feel like my answer could be a little layered to that question.

If you don't know what we're talking about, we're talking about women saying they can't date the go to guy for the other women in the family.

And Shannon, you said if I'm just summing it up.

correct me if I'm wrong.

It's like, all right, that's a lot of, that's a lot to ask for some of somebody.

If you just at the backing call every time and bailing them out of everything.

And I guess, is that kind of, is that Jive Turkey?

I like Jive Turkey.

Is that kind of, she made it sound like a meal, didn't she?

But.

Is that kind of what you were saying in a nutshell, Shannon?

Pretty much, yeah.

I understand if you help out your people from time to time, of course.

But when it becomes entitlement, that's a problem.

And I feel like a lot of times in those type of situations, there's a person in the family that probably don't even work, don't want to work fully capable of working and figuring it out.

But they're like, well, my son got it.

My son gon' do it.

Like, you know what I'm saying?

Like, it's almost that level of, like, it's that boy-mom syndrome where they feel like their son is their husband.

And at some point, the son either has to be like, listen, like, I'm an adult man now.

I have my own family, and I'm doing what I'm doing.

And you gotta chill out on that.

Like, somebody gotta set boundaries.

But in some situations, I don't feel like that happened, especially when, like, they almost are reliant on you for everything.

That's that's a lot

No, I feel that so

my question was you know Would you be okay with your family?

Making you the not your family that you created and made your wife and kids are supposed to be doing that That's your family that you created and made

but

if your mom your sister your nieces Everybody called you every first of my AR bills do where the money at pull up.

Yeah, so

I could see that, right?

And I think on my lens, I was looking at it from was and I think I mentioned this yesterday is that is assuming that, OK, just because this person is showing up for everybody in their family, it's like, I feel like it's a wrong assumption to make that he can't show up for you and his family.

No more but in discussions with With the wife and correct me if I'm wrong.

This is why I felt like it was gonna get interesting that it seems like you all are more so talking but about a specific Kind of individual that shows up at this person not somebody that's like alright.

I'm about to go help my mama move couch.

I'm about to go

help my mom with a bill or whatever.

It sounds like it's more so leaning towards what you said.

And a lot of what you said, I feel like is what Amanda was saying last night as well, is that this person is, you know, as if the family doesn't think about like, okay, our family member now has his own family.

So I think what you're speaking from is that person where, like you said, they have that family member that's entitled that feel like I don't care what you're doing.

Like we all family and you gonna, you gotta make family

first.

Yeah.

So I mean, I could, I could, I could soften, I could soften my position on something like that.

Shannon, if we're talking about

that,

and I was just, that's

what we're talking about.

That's what we're talking about.

That's exactly because, like,

it's normal to help your family

move again.

Don't miskeep them.

Because when you think about it, if your mom needed couch move, how many couches she got, like, that you're going to be called monthly?

You know what I'm saying?

Like, normal help is completely fine.

But when it crosses over to where it affects family and your time with the family you created, that's out of, like, that's out of question.

Or even the family that you want to create.

Because, like we said, like,

At some point, like, I know you said that it doesn't mean that you can't help out at home, can't take care of home, so it doesn't mean you can do it at some

point.

Damn fish-eyed fool.

Pissing

me off.

Can you hear me?

I

wouldn't lie about that.

Sugar eating bulldog

sugar.

No, it's not sugar eat biscuit Maybe what it do.

Yes, you are there.

Oh, yeah, you're

good.

Thank you

Thank you.

Thank you.

But no, it comes to a point where it starts affecting the home life.

Even if you can financially do it, it also becomes a problem because it's like, why is it every single time they call?

Why?

First of all, why do grown people need you so much?

Unless they got all timers, unless they're at that age where they become a baby again and you need to step up and be, you know, almost a parent to your parents, because they do get to that age where it's like, okay, I need to watch over my parents a little more.

They can move in or whatever the case may be.

but when they're still younger and they still just acting like kids and just doing whatever they're doing, that's where it becomes a problem and that's where it starts to interfere with home life because it's not even always about financial applications, which that also can become a problem, but it's also about like being attentive to the family that you have and being able to put up those boundaries and not make that family that you're creating or trying to create feel like they come after.

everybody else.

That's just, you know, my take on things.

I feel that comment says it's usually the son who has done well for himself and is called for caps lock everything, not the person who helps people as needed.

So.

Exactly.

It's definitely a big difference.

So huge.

It's a huge difference.

And like I said, I could I could soften my position.

on that Shannon, I could definitely, I could get on your side of the program with that one.

I get it, I

get it now.

I got

some, I had some good guidance last night, you know.

And y'all was on the same page, but don't go anywhere.

I think most women feel

that way.

But

$600,000 for a party that never came.

Who else is paying for it?

Boosie was begging for a pardon, speaking

of pardoning.

Begging for a pardon?

I like what you did there with that one.

I like what you did there, Shannon Doe.

Thank you, thank you.

Man, get, get, get, Shannon A. What am I reading?

What is that in the, oh.

I was like, what is you reading?

She

just saw you dancing on the screen.

That's what it was.

It took us a second for me to compute.

See what we deal with.

Man.

So it's been busy in Milwaukee.

It's shifting the gears here.

Shifting the gears here.

Let's

get serious, right?

I mean, serious bone in our body.

Man, let me get my notebook and pen out.

This is my serious.

You got your glasses on.

We want to talk about the race for the mansion.

We want to talk about droppers.

What's that?

Dropouts.

People that dropped out the race.

That's

what you call them.

You call them

droppers.

Clip that up that

sound like something

droppers now.

We got a new turn for people.

No, I mean Oh, is it but like you write pause but take it how you want it and that's another pause but You got to stand on business business you got to get the business dropper We talking about other words

Last Wednesday, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley ended his campaign, saying it was clear he wouldn't be the nominee.

Stepping out of this race, but not stepping away from the work was his words.

He stays on as county exec.

And he's also the second dropout of.

The second dropper, if we're using the words correctly, right?

Second dropper after Missy Hughes, who also dropped out of the race, both still appear on the August 11th primary ballot.

Interesting.

Insert evil Shannon laugh.

The Milwaukee conversation, Crowley was our candidate.

I saw a lot of people saying they were really.

Excited about David getting in the race and he was the first black county executive kid from five three two oh six I know he says that a lot, but you know it says something He had the highest fundraising total in January and it still didn't translate statewide He himself named a question he kept hearing

Is Wisconsin ready to elect a black man from Milwaukee statewide?

What does his exit say about that answer in you all's opinion?

I feel like Milwaukee was not just Milwaukee, right?

I just think the state.

Was ready.

But I want to hear from y'all.

What do y'all think that it says about his statewide?

A 3 3 2 1 2 10 17 is the number to call is Wisconsin ready to elect a black.

Governor and was was that the the grounds for something like, you know, he didn't see a clear path to it and so forth.

Where the field stands right now, five Democrats remain in Della Barnes, Francesca Hong.

Is it Francesca?

I've

been called.

Francesca.

Okay, I was just going to say, I thought I was saying Francesca, but I'm seeing the spelling here.

So it's Francesca.

It's just, you know, it's got a little smooth spelling on it.

Francesca Hong, Sarah Rodriguez, who also was endorsed by Missy Hughes and Crowley, and Kelder Royce.

Don't know who that is, respectfully.

Joe Brennan.

I know who that is.

Never understood why he really got in the race, if I'm being honest.

I got my thoughts about that.

Against GOP front runner, Tom Tiffany, who's trumped indoors.

So it's a lot on the line, right?

So essentially, the field is very thin now.

Mandela, Francesca, Sarah, Kelda, Joe Brennan.

I... Man, how?

Shannon.

Is that like what?

Should I do it?

No, I ain't gonna do it.

I think you should.

I think

you should before we go on.

Is

that guy

that was still in the signs still in?

No, he's seen like he out.

I don't even see his name.

He out.

He out here.

He

also said he knew he didn't stand a chance.

He was like, you think you're gonna win?

He was like, no.

Self-awareness is key.

He said no.

So anyway, we're going to.

Four weeks from today, right?

Four weeks from today will be elected in the primary.

Somebody from God.

And it's going to be out of those five people.

Out of those five people, you know, it's a few interesting takes, a few different.

It's a few different positions that I have.

You know what?

To hell with it, I'ma say it.

I feel like, respectfully, I could be wrong.

This is my personal opinion.

This is my personal opinion.

I don't, it's two people I feel that shouldn't have gotten in.

I understand why one of them did.

I could make the case for why one of them did, right?

But two of them.

I just felt like What are you doing?

You just you just doing something now at this point, right two people I felt like this shouldn't have got in and I'll give my reason is and this isn't to negate or or Steer anyone in any way shape or form.

I don't feel like Joe Brennan should have gotten the race and I also don't feel like Mandela should have gotten the race That's my personal opinions

The Kilder Kilder Royce don't know who that is.

So it's it's not much I could say, right?

Um, I could make it.

I could I could humble myself and and understand why a Mandela would.

Right.

He ran a statewide race before against Ron Johnson and lost and.

OK.

So that's why that's my logic on like, bro, look, you know, let's not.

Let's not do this.

Let's let's really lock in and get on the same page and figure stuff out.

But he had the exposure to the donors, you know, from his first statewide race.

He actually ran a statewide race.

I didn't.

I didn't think that, you know, he should have got the nominee over Alex Lazary for that race if we're being candid and honest.

I think Mandela getting in and split the black decision on Joe getting in.

To me, I could be wrong.

To me, Joe, like the position that you have in Milwaukee, right?

You like the chair of the GMC, if I'm not mistaken, right?

One of these larger corporations, I think it put a...

Pause per se or it disrupted the flow of where potential strong donors could have Pivoted their finances to actually help a candidate that could possibly win this and I have my predictions, but I'm gonna save my predictions and We don't get into some other things about what's been going on

about this race.

I'm trying to choose my words very wisely here, Shannon.

I hope you all... I see you.

I see you.

Look, you know, I charge you.

Don't head and let it out.

Take your time.

I'm trying to choose my words very wisely here.

But don't go anywhere, y'all.

When we come back, we are going to talk about Rodriguez's campaign crisis that broke yesterday.

And then we just want to...

Just something that's been on the rumor mill regarding Francesca and Mandela.

And my question is, is does does that even matter?

So let's.

Let's regather ourselves.

Go get you a drink.

I'll get you if you need another snack, because when we come back, it's going to be our two.

And we go, you know, don't be getting into some some business here.

All right.

So go take a quick break, reset.

and come back and tap in with Ray Nitty and maybe Shannon on the award winning one on one seven the truth.

This is the lunch break.

Welcome back to hour two.

This is your lunch break with Ray Nitty and maybe Shannon on the award winning one on one seven the truth located.

In downtown Milwaukee from Third Street, Market Hall live from the American Family Insurance Studios.

We flowin' out, big baby.

Hey, that felt real good, man.

Super pause, but we glazin'.

You feel what I'm talkin' about?

You pickin' up what we puttin' down over here?

Ayy.

Judge.

Man, but uh... Nancy!

We're talking about the governor's race, y'all.

It's time to get serious.

It's time to get serious.

We fold weeks away.

We fold weeks away.

Droppers, they like the droppers.

They like droppers.

We gonna keep droppers.

Man, y'all saw to the chat, man.

Y'all grew with us, man, because y'all was tough on us first, but now y'all didn't adopted us this cause.

Right, y'all are

right.

All right, we took that.

We

took

them.

We took them blows.

We took them.

That's not crazy.

But pause for the cause.

Sunday night.

Sunday night, Rodriguez fired her campaign manager, Cara Spencer, trusted aid since twenty twenty one, citing serious mismanagement and inaccuracies.

in campaign finance filings.

Mondays press release donations were double counted and some expenses went unreported, meaning the campaign has hundreds of thousands less than she thought.

So roughly right now to run.

This is why I just be bro.

Bro.

I want y'all to take it.

Follow the money.

You feel me?

These fish eye fools, man.

I'm sick of this.

So now roughly she got 200K on cash.

She got 200,000 cash on hand.

She found out when her... Oh my God.

Oh my God.

She found

out when

the $1 million TV ad by Never aired.

I can't even read anymore of

this.

Oh, God.

For context, she got 200 bands in the bank right now.

Obviously, more donations will come in.

I'm sure they'll figure out how to generate more donations, right?

But I want you all to a month before the primary, you got 200 bands.

200,000, for context, when I ran for fourth district ornament, that's downtown Milwaukee, if you don't know the borders, that's from Prospect to about 35th Street, and approximately from Velit to about St.

Paul, if I'm not mistaken, that's roughly the borders, right?

Shannon, I spent 12,000, maybe 18,000 on my campaign, something like that, right?

That's how much we use.

We like raised.

You know what I'm saying?

They were scared to donate.

Yeah.

The incumbent, the 20 year.
