Good morning. Good morning. What's happening family? Welcome to the show. It is Michelle Brian here, WNOV 860 AM 106.5 FM. You are listening to say something real and. Yeah. I want to be cool here.
This was the longest weekend. I need a weekend from the weekend. I just want to say, I've had my feel of crisis, trifling people, broken systems.
I've had my fill. We're going to talk about it this morning. Let me say good morning to the bros in the building. What's going on, Jay Rodd out? How you doing today, sir? Well, you know.
You know I've been at church
Why is it yesterday? That's my preacher's word. What accent is that? That's my preacher's word. Oh, that's our preacher's talk? Amen. For where? Yesterday. Canton, Mississippi. Way down yonder. No, but I'm doing very... I'm doing... Actually, sale? No, seriously. Okay. The sun is shining. It's gonna be warm. It finally feel like the summertime.
At the end it's not going to be worn today, Negro. They have an alert. It's going to be Satan outside. People's life is going to be in jeopardy today. Hold on. Here we go. Bootleg weather man. You said that it's going to be worn today. And they talking about how they do it from my meteorologist. No, no, no. See, this is why you can't mess with your channel. Meteorology. Because it's folk might not make it today messing with your forecast. Here we go. This is my forecast.
Drink a lot of water. I mean, hell, I'm a lot of water. Drink buckets of water. No, this is back to you. That's it. That's it. That's it. Cancel his contract. Don't let this cat come on. No more giving out these bootleg weather reports. Folks in the hospital, too, about Jamaican. Drink water. It was going to be warm today.
Oh my god, and I just want you to know I saw people this weekend and I was like, you should do something. I was like, do what? About your bag. Do what? Do what? You know, I'll catch you just like y'all. Do what? Like it's my responsibility. You should do something.
Oh, his mom and daddy should have did something. They got to do with me. Yeah. You, I just couldn't even get over it and said it with an attitude and walked away. You should do something about your man. Do what? What is it that you want me to do? Hey Clark kid. Who you with? Me. Evidently social services. That's the one with this weekend. How you doing, bro? How was your weekend? My weekend was good though.
Oh, really? Was it? You know, me and the wife, we went to Seven Mile Fair yesterday morning, had out there for about three hours, and we rolled up the gurney. Wait. He went to Seven Mile Fair, was out there for three hours? Yeah, he was out there for three hours. What was there to do with Seven Mile Fair? You know, I was just looking, I was just looking to see what can I see there now. Did you see anything? No.
I've never in my life been a seven mile figure. I've been like at the door and didn't go in and I've seen the commercials and the little songs you may keep singing but I was like
It's just it seemed like and I mean don't get me wrong I'm a thrifter. I go everywhere. I'll go anywhere to shop But I think after What was this thing the old Sears building when they turned into that that many seven-mile fare
Yeah, I mean it just it ruined to be I was like nah, okay, okay, but you want the gurney too? Did I get something new what you did? I heard him say that, but I'm a little sly She never been a girl. No, she never been there. Yeah, what they never been a girl never been a girl Wow
Okay, all right And how much tell people And you at the Nike outlet, yep
We've got him from 54. Now, we've got him from nowhere. Make sure, make sure that that silver ain't upside down. Oh, no. Silver ain't upside down. I mean, you know, I'm a courtesan. Yeah. I will just tell people that most of the time, you know, you do have to pay attention. Yeah. Because as I told people about coach, a lot of people break their neck going to the coach outlet because you want to come up. Yeah. But.
Coach specifically makes product to go to the outlet. They don't send it to their regular stores. And you got to ask the question. Why is the why are these products specifically only for sale at the outlet? Is there anything so par?
about these items and that's true because because a lot of people think it's you know like out of season right right some of it is right but overwhelmingly yeah it's stuff that's made just to be sold at the outlet and that's true because I saw this cat this is the true I saw this dude got a pair of Jordans he said but then he got from the Nike outlet but when you look at the Jordan on his shoe
It looked like Jordan had like pom-poms in his hand. Like, yeah, pom-poms. I had cheeks, man. I'm like, hold on, man. Like, why your Jordan Strap like that? Yeah. Why Jordan Strap with pom-poms? I'm just saying, you got to know, like, it's frequently times if I go to the outlet.
And don't get me wrong, because I shop at the outlet. But I know what I'm buying. I'm paying attention. I'm Googling on the Nike site. You know, the products and what I'm looking for. And because it's not that it's not authentic Nike, it is. But again, coach that's done burnt me up on everybody. Like, I don't buy nothing from the coach outlet no more. I just don't. Don't it come with a certificate? Yeah, no, it's real coach. But like I said,
It is made specifically for the outlet and traditionally people thought this is just out of season stuff and you can get it down like a Nike. You can get a lot of out of season stuff at the Nike outlet. That's why I ain't worried about Nike. But when coach says, you know, now this is specifically made for the outlet, it means you specifically making it for a cheaper market.
And then I got a question, well, why are we doing that? Right. You know, because like I say all the time, you can't return nothing you buy at the outlet at a regular coach store. And the tags are done. And somebody had done a post to show you how to read the tag so you know that this was specifically for the outlet. So why is that though? If you got it from a coach outlet and they are connected to the coach store,
Why can't I bring it back to the store if the store is closer? Well, I mean, just because like some stuff truly is out of season, they're not going to carry it in the coach store. They're not going to be able to move it in the coach store. I mean, it's a it's a it's a variety of reasons to me that make sense. I'll just be trying to tell people, though, that like, you know what, it's it's some different. And you know what? Now, now that you got me got me thinking.
because when I was at several mile fair, the same quartets I brought, they had them for $130. Okay. Right out there. So now, now it makes sense why they had only one size, a couple sizes, because I asked them, they had like nine and a half, I mean, like 11 and a half. They said, no, no, we just got those size. So when I went to the outlet, now it makes sense. So they went out there, they got
And come back and sell them. Yeah. I definitely have seen that. People go to the outlet and buy stuff and then come back and sell it for a higher rate at their own little stores and little whatever. So yeah. So there are a number of things to get to this morning. But somebody said it's the threading in the coach that the coach uses for the outlet.
I think it's more than three. I like, again, and I want to be clear because there's people going to be hot with me. The quality. Is steel coach, but I'm wondering what's the difference because I pay attention to like the zippers. The straps, the way some of the straps is made.
You know, even the quality of the material, you know, so I look and I've never done the scientific put one back up against another bag. I've not done any of that. But I just remember having this conversation and I actually had a conversation with somebody who worked at the co-store who was trying to explain it to me. This was years ago though. But anyway, let me let me move on. So.
A couple of quick things. This weekend was really busy. Saw a lot of great people. Let's see. Today is Monday. So Saturday we did the fifth annual concert series at Clinton Rose and the performers were great.
uh, spoken word from Ajima Butler. Um, but like, I got to get at him cause like when he went on stage, he said, yeah, mother Brian, what? Mother. I was about to bust him in his face in front of all the people. I was like, this man just called me mother Brian. Oh dude, I was hot as a firecracker with him. He up here doing this little positive poetry like, no, you ain't messed up out the gate.
But the band Stone Jam Band, Star Red, and Michelle Pitts's grandbaby sung the Black National Anthem, and then her daughter.
Tiffany Terry star red she performed that girl has a really nice voice She has a really really nice voice and good stage presence. She did it. She did it. Okay. All right Yeah, I'll tell you it is funny to see the brothers because she had her cowboy boots her shorts and cute little black color
Leather looking top and the little brothers just out there just they never left the front of the stage I was cracking up. I said, okay, bros. They never left the front of the stage So she did a great job and then Theo Huff out of Chicago He and his band were phenomenal The bands was cold like the musicians behind these these performance star Reds band them brothers
That was cold. Oh my God, they sounded so good. So that was great. I saw a bunch of good people from the community, met a lot of listeners to the show, and I will just say this. At the same time, we had the show going on. Jermaine had called me on the way. I mean, while I was on my way to the show.
To say a shell I got a young sister here Who has been asked to leave the place where she is staying and she has a five-year-old child and You know, is there some resources can you you know talk to her and let's figure out what what to do so The first thing I did was ask her is her phone on Because just dealing with a lot of people in crisis
You got to be able to have a phone for people to be able to call you back to reach you to make calls to figure out where to go and her phone was off So I said your man get her phone turned on I'll pay you back but get her phone turned on so your man got her phone turned on and then We do 211 211 tells her there's nothing that we can do for you today call us back on Monday
We call sojourner sojourner said is it a DV situation? It's not a domestic violence situation. We can't take you The women's center fool the Joy house fool There was literally nowhere for us to have this young lady go She had a 3 p.m. Deadline that she had to be out of this residence where she was staying with her five-year-old
So this young sister, you know, she in tears now and she was like, I got all my stuff and I don't know what to do. So now I'm at the, the event at Clinton Rose. So I tell her, go to the train station, go, go downtown to the intermodal station. I said, and just sit there.
And people always got a lot of stuff with them moving back and forth So you're not gonna stand out. It's not gonna look real crazy Just sit there until I get done doing this show and we'll figure something out So while she is down there, I am on the phone I've enlisted another friend and we are looking you know like okay at this point I just need to put her in a hotel room until
Monday morning and we can try to figure out if there's any place for her to go. But right now, I just need to get her and this kid off the street. And so we are looking and getting sticker shock because all of the hotels for a two night stay running 246 a night. I'm talking about like days in, which should be like 60, 70, 80 bucks.
260 260 five a night four hundred dollars a night, and I'm like what is going on in Milwaukee? That hotels just not just in Milwaukee Extended out the Brookfield Menominee Falls all these hotels high as hell, and I'm like what is going on and so you realize Like okay your summer fest, you know, I'm trying to think of all the different activities, but either way Hotels was a fool finally found one
This hotel ended up being like $500. So I called her. I said, I'm on my way. I got you someplace to stay for the weekend. But before I left, I told people, because somebody had noticed that while the band was performing, I was distracted because I was on my phone. And somebody said, what's going on? They could see something was happening. So when I went back up on the stage, I explained to people that
We had a situation we were trying to deal with with this young lady and trying to find her someplace to stay Four sisters When I was out Give us trying to go to the bathroom, but I was speaking to people four sisters between the four of them they handed me a hundred and forty dollars One sister did a hundred dollar bill by herself two other sisters two teens and then a 20
And they say here, put this towards whatever you're trying to do for this child. Four sisters did that. And so I want the four sisters who did that to know that when I picked her up, got her to the hotel, got her situated, I put the $140 in her hand. And I told her it was from folks in the community who had heard about her situation. She started crying immediately.
because she had $64 to her name. Young sister has a job, her child's in daycare, but she was staying someplace and the person wanted her to leave, they wanted her to get out of the house. It's not from Milwaukee and had no family here, has no family here. And I said, if I get you back to where you're from, can you go to family
You know, can somebody help you? Don't have that kind of family. Don't have that kind of family. And so I just wanted to say this. Um, first of all, it is ridiculous to me. And I appreciate it. And I don't know all the circumstances. I didn't try to get all the circumstances. I don't know what happened fully. But what I did here.
It sounded crazy. But the fact that somebody tells somebody to get out with a five-year-old kid in tow on the weekend, and you got to figure this out, child's potentially sleeping in the street, sleeping at the bus station, all of that was crazy to me. All of that's crazy to me. Whatever my differences is with you, I understand it's a child involved.
That there was nowhere to go Like we we are so strapped for resources in this this country, you know, we couldn't Snap benefits we couldn't you know wick benefits. We're cutting services every day, but we got money to spend four hundred million dollars on a damn ballroom and and
You know to pay your your buddies your cronies your contributors money to go in and mess up a reflecting pool And the fact that donald trump and his family have become billionaires During a year and a half of being in the white house And that somebody would pay Melania trump 25 million dollars for that fool video movie they made but
the people who need the services and the help. You want a shoestring budget? People got to do stuff together at the condense of their heart to make sure folks got somewhere to be and to stay. Joe, you want to say something? Yeah. Oh, yeah, that was a tough one because just when I picked her up, you know, I was doing live on the side.
And when I picked her up, I picked her up from the hospital. And I forgot that part. Yeah, I picked her up from the hospital. And there was she, you know, whenever it got in the car, you know, me, I'm always asking, hey, how are you doing? And I heard it in her voice. She she was like, I could be better. She sounds like she was crying. So I turned around. I looked at it. I was like, you OK? She just started booing. So I pulled up. I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on. Calm down.
Take a deep breath. Let me know what's going on. So when she got to talking, I'm thinking I'm like, oh, wow. So she just cried. She cried. Now her five year old is sitting there and I'm looking at him through the rear view and he just got just look on his face. And so she just cried, cried. And what touched me was when he reached over and hugged his mama.
and said mama it's gonna be okay I got you and I looked and I was like oh my god so I'm thinking in my head I'm like okay who can I call I like who can I call who can I call Shale called you hey listen is there any resources any way that we can help this young lady but I'm gonna tell you after when we got off the phone after when you got off the phone with her
She sat in the car and just cried and said thank you because she said I was praying to God That somebody helped me and I needed help and I didn't know where I was gonna get help from And here I come taking the ride Hmm to pick her up. Hmm. So when she was talking and I'm like She was like I was praying I was praying hard and I just don't know where I'm like wait a minute. Hold on
So when everything started happening and you asked her about her phone if her phone was on and because I didn't even know her phone was off So, you know, there's a friend had called for the lift Exactly. So I'm like, okay. Wow. So Okay, whatever take care that but I want to tell you this Milwaukee we have an angel right here amongst us
This woman sale took out time and made sure I'm gonna think young lady was straight She didn't have to do what she did and She went I mean crossed the ocean climbed the highest mountain and made it happen for this young lady I just want to tell you from everybody you deserve your flowers Thank you for what you did I'm not a buttercup
Yes, but I was almost in tears. I had to suck it up like wow Like like wow, but just to see this young lady here in the city Know where to go. No family. No friends. She was like, I don't know what to do. I work a job I asked them, you know, do if they can at least let me go to work. They was like, no So he was like, I don't know what to do and I have my child, but I'm gonna tell you this
This system out here. Oh I Mean and like you said you you look the folks that are the closest To struggle are always being asked to do more You know and where can we cut and what can we take and what can we remove and let me be clear Two things and thank you Jermaine for saying what you said, but I
It's two things. Number one, that's just how I was raised. You know, what you see in me, most of it is my mama. It's my granddaddy, you know. But the other piece of it is, and I've talked about it before on this show, I have been in situations where people have had to help me and they did it unconditionally and they made sure that me and my child were OK.
Until I could make sure we were okay So I understand I owe a debt and I'm gonna be indebted for the rest of my life Atlas is okay There is an atlas because of the work and the things that other people did to make sure I was good when my mom and them didn't step in That that they make sure I was okay in some cases complete strangers. So, you know
All I'm doing is paying back what I owe, you know, truth be told. Now, mind you, I don't probably pay it back 20 times over, but it's necessary because you just and the people that told me privately at the event after I told the youngsters the story, they said, I have been homeless too.
Folks that was out there having a good time and joined the music, but they said Michelle I have been homeless too and they gave me a list of places to try and Resources, so I got to go to break But when I get off the air now the real work begins because she got to check out the hotel this morning
And we got to try to figure out if there's anything available for her and his child. We're not out of the woods. So to Jermaine's point about the frustration, so many people need help, but so few places to go. And the resources are limited, but we got money to tear down the wing of a White House and build a new ballroom because this idiot wants a bigger place to party and kick it.
And in the meantime, we tell people we're going to reduce the amount of fruits and vegetables we give to children under five and pregnant women. But it's something wrong. It is something seriously wrong. And even in this town, it's something wrong.
But let me go to the break. I'll be right back. All right, family. Welcome back to the show. So I've got some callers. Let's get them in. Hey, caller, what's happening? Good morning. Good morning. Michelle, I was I was going to say, um, bring her over here where I'm at. And if you come in and talk with them instead of calling, because I know they're going to say, like, go through the regular process of application, which only take about two weeks.
But if you bring her in and talk to Kim, she's on SAP of property manager. Yeah, so because they do have vacancies, but it's a process to get in here. But with that situation and you bring her, it might work out a little different. Even with the child? Yeah, they got kids here. Oh, I didn't know that. OK. OK. Yeah. And another thing, you are a very beautiful angel. I keep telling you that. Thank you, girl, because you do so much for all of all of that.
No, that's great information and I will definitely follow up. All right, let me go to the next caller. Hey, caller, what's happening? Hey, Michelle. Hey. Let me get you off of this. Okay. Well, that's happy. That's very sad to hear, you know, like I remember coming up and it was a place.
It was always somewhere, a place, a person can go, here in Milwaukee. And that's bad, like the late woman, I mean, they ain't like today, there's so many low income housing that, I mean, sure, it should be no, no, no problem. You know, to go, whatever, share the job, whatever income is, they should, hey, here it is. But we got all these gatekeepers,
And they want to allow people to know this information out here. And we got young individuals like that, homeless. And the girl got a job and a child. That's normal. But not having a place to stay is not normal. But we do things for people that don't want to work or just sit around and collect these. And they don't even go there like that.
I ain't gonna go that far. But it's just, I don't get it. I don't get it. And being like, for that baby just to be like, see that? He don't understand it, but he feel it. Yeah, he feel it, bro. He feel it. And that's bad. That really makes me feel like, what is our difference? What are we doing? Like, you like, just do this knuckle here.
all that money. I wouldn't know what we used to get 400 million here in Milwaukee, you know, for the city. Assistant, I've done this little share thing. We don't even get half of that. How do you want a quarter of that? There's so many schools that's empty. Some of them schools to be. Yeah. How old? Come on, man. Come on, man. I was just saying that, man. I was just saying that. I don't like that.
I don't like to talk about nobody, but I live there like, dude, he messed up big time. He messed up big time when he done that. I mean, get your butt up, go to Madison and tell him, look, no, whatever you're all doing, we gotta stop it. We need our tax money. I'm a fisherman now. And so I go to every county in Wisconsin. I'm all over this place. I don't live places where it wasn't known.
Nothing but land. Those partners, I mean, they live in, and they're living off our die, and that don't make no sense to me. We the biggest city in the state, but we the poorest city as in neighborhood wise. My boat, I love my boat. That's my daughter.
I went to go fish in Saturday and came out on Dean, where it's supposed to be just housing for individuals like the young lady and broke my axle. Coming off of 76, I mean, 70, 70, 75th in Dean. Broke my axle right there. That's embarrassing. I should be able to just roll out and go out on no problems, but y'all got barriers up.
and there's nothing being seen. I mean, I should walk and step in one of them holes and act like a broke particle. That's how deep the hole is. Wow. Yeah, these streets are ridiculous. Like many of them. It's just, I have never seen our streets look so bad. You absolutely right about that, brah. And who does to you about help take care of that young lady? Because like I said, it used to be, I mean,
It would have been a problem back in the days if she didn't have no place to live. And people would have got on people's necks about that. Yeah, it's crazy. Thank you, bro. I appreciate the call. You know, Jermaine mentioned her son and so did the brother. And I'm going to just tell you, you know, he went to sleep on the backseat of my truck when...
Or my, you know, vehicle, I always feel funny calling the Jeep a truck. But anyway, he went to sleep on the backseat. And so I woke him up when we got to the hotel. And we hadn't been in the car for a long, long amount of time, but he went to sleep. And Jermaine had said they had been at the hospital that morning because.
You know, she all of the stress of everything had made her sick. So they had been at the hospital. So that little boy had been up all day, all morning. And so he got on the backseat of that car and he just went to sleep, man. So when I woke him up and this dude is five, but he way like Jermaine way. This little Mack truck, I mean, and handsome, cute as he could be. But.
He was so heavy. I tried to pick out like why not I tried I did pick them up But when I was pulling them out the car, I was like come on man. You gotta wake up He was so heavy and it felt like later I thought about it that little boy slept like he had the weight of the world on his back on his shoulders and so as they got to the door and they were walking into the Side door the hotel he he turned around and he looked back and he said thank you so much
And I was like, oh, you all right. You know, I said, yeah, you good little man. And he was like, thank you. So to the point that this baby seeing stuff and understanding stuff, he got no business seeing, no business understanding. And I just, it just messed with me the whole time. So I'm going to take this caller and I'm going to end this piece. I'm going to hit some other things, but I'm going to just say this.
You know, families are not like they used to be. Yeah, and that's the scary part. For a variety of reasons, I understand. But first of all, for those of y'all that got good family situations, and I don't mean perfect, but I mean y'all communicate. People can mess up and still be in the family.
You know, we make room for folks when they're in crisis. Thank you. Man, thank you. Because it's easy to throw your hands up and walk away. And I know it's people that will test your limits to the end of time. And it's some situations, it's not safe. You can't stay here because you're about to put this family in jeopardy.
because you're doing some stupid stuff out in the streets. Somebody come to shoot up this house. We got other people in the house. I get that part. I get that part. But some situations, just frustration alone, we are struggling. That still does not rise to the level of a five-year-old child having no place to go. It just does not rise to that.
We have we have got to figure out a way to be more tolerant. How do we not turn our back on people? And how do we how do we make this stuff work? Because I really wanted to ask that woman who put them out. How the hell you sleep in the night knowing that it's a five year old kid.
out here on the streets right now, not knowing what's about to happen to him. How you, how you lay your head down and get a restful and the girl, she don't seem out of order, but I don't know the story. But whatever the story is, it's a five year old child attached to it. Let me figure this out. You got to get up out of here, but I'm going to help you get up out of here.
And I'm gonna give you time to get your stuff. I don't know But all I gotta say is that it's crazy That that was the situation and it's crazy that we don't have some place for people to go like the way I told you man during the break the way we have warming centers in the wintertime You can't stay there, but you can come here tonight and sit through the night We didn't even have no place for her to sit through the night until you figure it out
Just to make sure you're not out here in the streets in the elements and This morning when I get off the air This the first thing I'm getting ready to do this morning So let me catch this last calling and we'll switch gears. Hey caller. What's happening? Hello Hello Yes, ma'am You got my number. This is Kathy. Let me know what you need. I can help you. Okay. All right. Thank you I have a question for you. Yes ma'am
Now, you know, there's a hotel on six and lap them. Give them a call, and then you can call me. I can talk with them. I know them personally, see if they can help out under 100 hours a day. And then the other thing is that we need to reach out to a landlord. They got something. But the thing is that she don't need a hotel. If there's any room houses, there's some on the south side. That's about a month. You know, so if we can collect money from the radio station, they send everybody giving us what they had many years ago.
Dig into your pocket. You don't spend money for the holiday. Everybody got at least $25.50 to hit Michelle with this. Okay, because she's going to need other things besides just a room. So the ruling house is what? They might have went up. This would be like $4.50, $600 a month. So at least get us started on something, okay? We need to put some money down, not talk about back in the day, okay? And then see me to do this. The city ain't doing nothing in the next 24 hours. So we just need to get this girl a place. So she needs some stuff.
You know, I can help out with that if she needs some extra clothes. That is what we need to do. We can go to the gift wheel, whatever, give her and her baby some stuff, and we need to get a roomie house if she can find one. Not on each side. They all went up more. If you get a roomie house or something for her, that'd be cheaper than anything else. And it's going to be hot out here. I got it.
I got over there on six. It's good on six and water or by the airport They're usually under a hundred dollars unless the price has went up I haven't checked in a while that do this with a couple of people once before So we need to put some money down to help this young lady out there and I'll tell you another one The our grandma grandparents out here on the phone tell your young kids to stop and I don't know what the story is about Stop looking for love online and coming up here to a city where you don't know nobody and a man or woman Whoever puts you out because this happens several times. I ran into several people like this
Okay, I helped somebody out on the weekend at a resale store He came in because he's seen a sign saying five dollars for discount items He had two boys with him and a little girl a little girl needed some stuff because social service brought the kids to him I bought the little girl two pair of pants a shirt hat and everything. Okay, I did that It didn't cost too much money because it was all half price off Okay, so I just bought it for them because I had a birthday last week and my birthday money was over $300. I said when I'm gonna treat them you can pick up what you wanted Then they wanted a little baseball hat
and I got it for them. The girl was very happy. She wanted a little dress also. So I bought that for them. Okay, so let's just get that straight. We got some money out here. I'm just asking, please, can all y'all hook Michelle up? Whatever you call me, Michelle, now I got about $100 and come down to my job, I'll give it to you, okay? I'm just telling y'all now, we need to all help out. We're all gonna have a good holiday and spend some money. So let's just donate some change right now. Wow. Okay, I'm just saying that I hear everybody on the phone call about that happened 20 years ago. What's happening now?
It's what we need. All right, I got you to say that. Thank you, Kathy. And let me just say this. And I did not bring it to the radio to ask people to help. That's not why I brought it up, even though right now Clark just handed me something. My barber, Big Bowl just said, hey, I sent you something on Cash App. The situation just was so awful to me.
It was just so awful to me. And that, you know, we still got to deal with it this morning. And I just, I see people like a number of people who always show up. I see y'all right now tapping out. Hey, LaToya, I see what you just did. Thank you, sis. Just thank y'all. That's all I can say. It's just thank y'all. Because we all done been there, you know?
We and if you haven't been there, you need to be thanking God every day that this is not your your situation and your story. All right. Wow. Wow. OK, so somebody put in the chat that there is a hang on. Let me see what this is. Wow. Oh, so this was crazy, too.
I'm just going to mention it. I ain't going to mention no names, but I'm going to mention it. This is crazy too. About failed systems. That's the reason why I want to mention it. So while I'm out this weekend, I'm talking to someone who I see all the time. They support us at the station, come to everything. I see them all the time. And it was something a little off though. And I was like, Hey, how's it going? How are you doing?
And they ended up telling me about a family member that they have who's in the hospital, needed some care, didn't have insurance money. I mean, doesn't have insurance. And they had to be able to demonstrate to the hospital that they could provide medication for the upcoming month before they could be released. And this individual fixed income.
She was like, you know, so I'm working on it. I got a portion of it, but I'm working on it. And I was like, well, how much more do you need? It was not a lot of money. So I was like, here you go. Go ahead and take care of that. She literally just texted while I've been on the air to say that she talked to the people. She said she met the financial obligation and they were released yesterday because they wouldn't release him from the hospital.
Because you had to be able to demonstrate like whatever this medication is you needed to live and so So the first four weeks of the medication is now covered and paid for but like literally and I thought about that like So I'm accruing a crazy bill I'm uninsured so I'm accruing this bill every day The amount of money needed to cover the medicine is reasonable
but I can't pay it. So I'm going to accrue $1,000 a day probably on a hospital bill because I don't have the few hundred to be able to take care of the medication requirement. Like when I tell you stuff is crazy, stuff is crazy out here. But I'm going to tell you this too, because she didn't have to mention that to me. And she did. When you went trouble, let people know.
Say something to somebody. You don't ever know where help will come from. A whole bunch of y'all walk around and don't nobody know what's going on with you. You're trying to figure it out on your own. You falling under the pressure. You making yourself sick under the pressure. Say something. Even if the person who you're talking to immediately can't do nothing for you and you're not asking her to do something, but get it off you. Say something y'all.
And that was just a five minute conversation. That's all it was a five minute conversation. And luckily I had it on me and I was like, go do what you need to do. Just, just, just take care of that. And so she just tapped in and said, we good. Say something y'all. All right. I gotta take a break. I'll be right back with your host, Michelle Bryant on WNOV.
All right, family, welcome back to the show. Let me just say, first of all, I didn't say good morning to my folks on Facebook and YouTube, the number of you that have weighed in to talk about this issue. I have folks are here saying that they have been homeless. Someone said I was homeless for two years. Somebody said cancer and homeless. You know, I even thought about Charlie Wilson when y'all was like, he was on the stage. And you know, Charlie recently had suffered the stroke.
But Charlie was sleeping on a park bench. You know, you have a gap band fame and ends up sleeping on a park bench and had to be at some point taken to a hospital because he was laying there about to die. You know, so it could be any of us at any given time that that can go through. So I just, like I said,
Thank you to people. Somebody making sure that we know that today there is a meeting at 130 at City Hall regarding the Midtown development and what's supposed to go on with that. I have not had time to get at that, but somebody got to ask the question because again, I said this last week when I was on air, the way it has been explained to me is that
that development is tied into that data center or whatever you want to call it, computational research facility, whatever in the world, little name you want to give it, that if that piece is not allowed to move forward, the development does not move forward. I need somebody to explain that to me. How is the smallest footprint of the development
going to stop the whole thing from being done. If that is true, that means it's something way more at play than we understand. It's something much bigger going on if the smallest part of the project can derail the whole project.
And I've had a number of people who were at the meetings that said, no, Michelle, that's the way it was explained to us. That's what we heard. So if I got this young lady's situation straight now by 1.30 today, I'm going to see if I can go down to this meeting so I can sit in the room myself and hear what's going on. Because I really want to understand how this project is unfolding at Midtown. Let me go to the phone line. Hey, caller, what's happening?
We shall I have a doctor find this way. But anyway, I saw your text. Good. Good. I got you like. All right. Thank you, babe. All right. So let me just say this real quick, too, because somebody put in the chat that we need to vote. And I just want to say I could not agree more. A couple of things real quickly. That that bill that Trump and the Republicans
you know, crammed through that whole nonsense about the big, beautiful bill, just the most ignorant policy oriented name of a bill, piece of legislation you've ever seen in your life. But one of the things that they did in that bill was to introduce massive cuts to Medicaid and to SNAP, directly reducing what's going into low income households.
Like these people got a plan for everybody else to, you know, we want more from you from this, more from you from that, but less is required of the wealthiest people in this country. I remembered having a conversation with the brother after Juneteenth, and I think I recounted a little bit of that. And he was saying that he had lived in another city.
And he said, you know, I'm not Democrat or Republican. I look to go wherever somebody got the best, you know, best policies. He said, and I do see some a little bit of what these folks be saying that folks be out here trying to get over and game the system. And I said, well, what do you mean? And he said, like in Milwaukee or in Wisconsin, you don't pay your utility bill during the winter. But in other states.
And he mentioned Texas, I think, you know, your stuff going to get cut off. So why don't you just pay your bill the way you supposed to, because we can't get roads fixed. We can't get, you know, the potholes and that. And I said, Bruh, one don't have nothing to do with the other. I said, that's a privately owned institution. We energies is probably on. That's not fixing your potholes and your stuff that's going on in your city.
I said, but we don't have the same kind of weather in the winter that they have in Texas. So people could die here if their utilities get cut off. But the other thing too, it's a system that's in place. And yes, I may not pay my bill through the course of that month. I mean, those months, but eventually I got to pay it because April 15th is coming.
But it's a system but you're not mad at the rich people who work the system to keep from paying a fair share of taxes We have millionaires and billionaires in this country some of them who pay no taxes Because of the system and the loopholes and the protections that's put in place So you're not mad at the people who don't pay their fair share
on millions and millions of dollars. But you matter at the person who trying to figure out how to put off paying this light bill so they can keep the rent. Or that they can they can get the car fixed. Or that, you know, they can pay for school clothes. That's who you hot with. You hot with the folks who don't have nothing. But in the meantime, the rich getting richer and robbing us daily. I don't hear no smoke for them.
I hear smoke for people who have the least and that's the way people set these systems up. So as members of the legislature.
And at the federal and the state level, they'll have you hot to try. Some of the people on welfare just posted up getting over, but you ain't got nothing to say about all these wealthy behind people who do not pay their fair share in taxes because they got great tax accountants. They got legislators who are working on a behalf, making sure they get all the tax breaks in the world. But you mad with the person making less than $20,000 a year.
You hot with somebody making $30,000 a year, but you ain't hot with somebody making $30 million a year. Just think about the inherent insanity of all of that and literally out calling other folks, trifling and schemers and blah, blah, blah, but you ain't calling the people that got 30 or 40 or $50 million who not paying nowhere near what they should be paying. They not schemers. They not trifling.
They're they're titans of industry. I'm like come on y'all and People fall for the oaky-doke every time You got people who have little hating other people who have little and Thinking you have little because those people are over there That's not how this works But we have people that are masters at redirection. I Want y'all to be mad with the Haitians
Well, that's who y'all need to hate. The Haitians. What Donald Trump say? They're eating your dogs and cats. Don't be mad at me. That has become so rich since I've been in the White House that it's a scandal. All that little mess they talked about with Hunter Biden and Joe Biden and did somebody get access to a meeting? They ain't never said no money in terms of Joe Biden getting rich. They said, did he take a meeting to help his son?
when Donald Trump's entire family is raping this country blind on some money. These people are going to be set up for the rest of their lives off this little tenure, this second time around in the White House. So we got to take a second and appreciate that. And since I brought up the Haitians, let me take a minute and talk about the Supreme Court. Jesus, if a Democrat wins the White House back,
and they can get control of these houses of Congress, you got to expand the Supreme Court. You absolutely have to expand the Supreme Court because what the Supreme Court just did in relationship to immigrants coming to this country,
Who are coming here because there is something going on in a country? It's war torn just like think about Venezuela right now. Venezuela's had this horrific Hurricane I mean hurricane earthquake 1500 people right now They know are dead. They just literally pulled a 13-day old baby and the child's mother out from up underneath the rubble but this place
They got two earthquakes back to back. I think they said within 40 seconds of each other. It was something crazy. And the devastation is, is just. Life changing. So some of the people from Venezuela would be like, look, everything is torn up in our country. Can we come to America while, you know, this is being sorted out and.
There were people that were given temporary protective status You come from Haiti. It's a lot of upheaval political violence people being assassinated. We had you know kids girls kidnapped people Being murdered and so folks are like, yeah, it's buck why we're y'all from right now. Yes, you can come we Let's look at the Jewish holocaust You had you know
Nazi Germany Hitler everybody doing all this crazy stuff six million people are killed Folks coming here seeking refuge because right now Antisemitism is so crazy, you know during this period that it's not safe for you as a Jewish person to be in some of these countries You were able to come to America But in a six three ruling that the Supreme Court just did
They favored the Trump administration's policy to let them basically ignore or put an end to temporary protective status situations. So how many people potentially are impacted? There are 350,000 Haitian people who live in this country that are here under protected status status.
350,000 people. Six thousand Syrian immigrants are in this country under the same type of situation. So what they have done is now put the Trump administration in a position to be able to strip away work authorizations. These people could be deported out of the country.
But there are communities in which these people have been here now for years. They are embedded. They pay taxes. They contribute to our tax system. They work jobs that a lot of times people don't want. They are a part of the country. But no. So I want to be clear. We can bring in white folks from South Africa.
Because they under some type of oppressive regime in South Africa But the people that are already legally in this country we can now deport because we don't want y'all here and You know, so it got a little heated between Sonia Sotomayor and Aliotto or Alito I say Aliotto Alito here in Milwaukee because
in the descent. Oh, no, no, no. That was, um, Elena, Elena Kagan, who, um, they talked about, like, do you understand if this was in place right now, back in the day during the Holocaust, the Jewish Holocaust, these people wouldn't have been able to come into our country because of the other thing that the Supreme Court did, which was to say that folks seeking asylum here can be stopped at the gate.
You trying to come in legally through this country. So you go to the border patrol checkpoints and they literally can turn you away before you ever get to apply for asylum. That's the Jewish piece. That's the Holocaust piece. So I blended two policies together around immigration, but that's what the Supreme Court just did. That's madness y'all.
So how do I apply for asylum then? What America has said is We're not open You know unless you white and from South Africa and the president can fly you in on Air Force to you like somebody special We're not open Communities black folks people of color don't come here
Universities are already talking, and I gotta take a break, but universities are already talking about right now, like, hey, we losing millions and millions of dollars because foreign students come to our schools. One school said $45 million is lost now because of the president's program about immigration and student visas.
the harm that is being done. And you think about that. You got a Supreme Court in acting and exacting their racist agenda in supporting this nonsense. Yeah, we gotta vote.
And one of the conditions of our vote for president need to be whoever gets our vote for president. If you don't agree to expand the Supreme Court, don't ask me for my vote. Because the harm that these people are doing is crazy. Let me check a break. I'll be right back. And what's at stake? I'll be right back.
with your host Michelle Bryant on W. N. O. V. All right, family. So before I get this caller, I want to take a second and acknowledge that the wife of Minister Louis Farrakhan has passed away. Mother Khadija Farrakhan. She was 90 years old. They were married for 72 years and she
passed away, I think this past Saturday. And so a statement was released. The honorable minister, Lewis Farrakhan, with deep sadness, yet with profound gratitude to Allah informs you that his beloved wife of 72 years, the first lady of the nation of Islam, Mother Khadija, has returned to Allah. The statement reads,
We thank Allah for the precious life of a loving wife, mother, a faithful devoted follower of the honorable Elijah Muhammad. Mother Khadija will forever be cherished and remembered. May Allah give his unequaled comfort to the family as we mourn this tremendous loss and lift the family in our prayers and thoughts. She was born in 1935. She wed minister Farrakhan in 1953.
and later converted to Islam in 1955. As Farrakhan rose to become the leader of the Nation of Islam, she was by his side serving as a stabilizing force for their family, the couple raised nine children. At the 1997 Millionaire March in Philadelphia, Mrs. Farrakhan took to the stage, just as her husband did, when he organized the 1995 Millionaire March in Washington, D.C.
Quote a nation can rise no higher than its women is what she said We focus on women, but we cannot lose sight that we must rise as a family men women and children
Heartbreak has befallen the Farrakhan's on several occasions in the recent years. The couple's eldest son, Lewis Farrakhan, Jr. died in 2018 from a heart condition at the age of 60. Another son, Joshua Farrakhan, died in 2023 at the age of 64. So funeral arrangements have not been announced yet, but I certainly wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the passing of Minister Farrakhan's wife. And then let me send out a personal...
condolence to one of our regular listeners. Brother, you said Buckley down in Racine. His mom also passed away. She passed away on Friday. She was a listener to this show and Minister Della Buckley down.
in racing. So just want to make sure that we acknowledge those individuals that have passed away. Let me go to the phone line. Hey, Caller, what's happening? Hello, good morning. Good morning. Yeah, thanks again to the show this morning. And I heard all the platitudes coming your way about the Good Samaritan that you played. That was a great thing. Did you know there's probably all kind of social workers. Is this another part of that piece?
that's probably listening to this show and they got their nose on the ground this morning trying to find or want somebody to talk, you know, because the baby, the security system of the child. So I hope y'all do whatever y'all can. I get a chance to out drop something off to you or send it some kind of way. But that's what, that's that, you, some social worker, some rapper around.
Some guardian of light, they listen to the radio. So they wonder, no, we can help her. But we already know that that mean vicious cycle system, that little baby is in danger, you understand? Because that system is something that I fight almost every day, every time I get a chance. But going back to the asylum piece, now listen, I'm gonna tell you like this, the whitey already know,
that he's in jeopardy, okay? And he's pushing back. And if we, as we sow good Samaritan, that we want to allow people to come in, and remember it's only 45 million, and that's what we can count, might be more, and it ain't that much more. It might be less, I'm hoping it's more. 45 million of us in this country, black American people.
And it's 62 million Hispanics. We don't know what the... Well, I'm sure that I don't even follow the count for the Indians and the Arabs, but they are silent. They're sleeping sales in our community. They're growing fast, too, boy. They're growing real fast. And guess what? They are having babies 90 going north. The problem is with the border being open on that down there, when they're opening, girls were being assaulted and sent into the country.
already ready, already ready. You know, that reproductive manufacturing system that most women, that most women have, they were getting them pregnant at the border, sending the right on in here, bam, got the baby right here in our hands. Me and you got to take care of that baby, but we got a little woman.
and a little baby that's on the streets. But here we is talking about taking care of the folks. What we need to be doing is pushing back on it. We better push back on it because we number now. It's almost over. Soon as they get good in Congress, them Arabs man, and they get good in there and them dog on Hispanic people, they put on the black man's throat. We're going to wish Whitey was still running it because they're going to do us in. So what we better do
is to push back as much as we can. And I don't know, I dropped $100 bill off or somewhere, try to catch you before you leave the station. At least put some, I might put more than that on it. Let me see if I can shake some people's pockets or lose and get help them with another hotel or something. Well, somebody got something to put these kids because that baby is in danger. Social service is listening, they thinking, oh, we can help them. The whole CHIPS program, you know how the CHIPS workers come in. You know, you said you work for the system.
It got with a little kid up, man. And the mama be said it'll take a hundred years for to get that baby back and she can do everything right. They just don't want to give them back. So the slave catchers is that they know the dogs on the ground this morning just by listening to this show. But I get a chance. I stopped. All right. Thank you, bro. Appreciate it. Um, let me let me do this, too. Um, I.
I mean, last week before I got off the air, somebody said, you know, Keon's birthday is coming up. And Keon and Mark Wade, I believe, actually share a birthday. And so I see somebody mentioned it in the chat. I certainly was going to mention it before I got off the air this morning for folks that are, you know, newer to the show, may not know.
You know some of the historical stuff about the show When I'm sitting here looking across from Jermaine I used to sit here and look across at a really big head brother The biggest head in the world and I don't just mean like a physically big waterhead I mean what it takes Keith to talk about how key I would say
I'm talented and gifted. I am talented and gifted. Blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank
is a picture of the family, his sister Tyra, his mom, his Carolyn, his baby sister. And folks are on the page posting, saying happy birthday, happy, heavenly birthday, pictures, you know, people putting up pictures of him and them together, folks talking about, they missed him. They missed his intellectual conversations.
He was deep He definitely was deep folks simply saying you are miss thinking of you Superman one post just says Keon. That's all it says is Keon Your impact is still resonating today because of someone else said so tons of people Acknowledging that this brother's birthday June 28th
I just was with his sister. Um, I think it was on Friday. Uh, no, no, no, I was with his sister over at, um, Green Tree Preparatory Academy, uh, for their graduation program over there. So no, y'all, it's, it's not, it's not forgotten. Um, it's just one of those things I was telling somebody, let me look on my phone right now. Hang on. Uh, I talked to Keon so much.
That you know when you look on your yep, it's right there. Look You see the Vinicius K. Yeah, I talked to Keon so much that his name will not drop off my phone's algorithm yet So at the top the people I talked to the most my son my brother What's your name up there? But Keon stays at the top
And in the center, it will not move out of the algorithm. All of this time after this brother has passed his name, that's how much I had to talk to him. Is it two years? Two years, I think. It has not dropped out of my algorithm.
He just ain't one of them easy ones for me to talk about. I came right past Atkinson Park and not think about him and Quite honestly, there is a chair at our kitchen table. That was his chair When he came he I'ma come to our house when we wasn't here I just want to be clear Keisha's parents that would be in the house Keisha Keia would be I'm at the house or we pull up and see the truck outside like hello and
Socks shoes off had the whitest socks you ever seen white socks parked up under your table and Kisha said Keon is in my favor. So he won't go away Yeah on the algorithm, but so yeah, y'all it's just it's still one of those that's one of the harder ones that I've dealt with and So, yeah, I see everybody saying happy birthday to Keon. Let me go to the phone line. Hey call it. What's happening?
Hello. Hello. Yes. Hi, Michelle. Hey, how you doing? Hey, uh, Mr. Ryder, thank you for getting me here. Who you with? That other big shot. If he did it today, his waterhead is up in here too. Yeah. Briefly though, Michelle, my question is what has, uh,
Other than immigration, what has the Trump administration done for the mayor? What depends on which Americans we talking about because the wealthy have gotten wealthy year for sure. Well, we know about that 1% at the time. I'm talking about 99% below that. What have you done for us? That's number one. And why can't Congress collaborate and come up with a immigration
Refink. That's the work of the Congress, correct? It should be. Yes. Okay. It should be. And then the next thing is, I just, I just, I was on a T-Ray page. He took a picture with you and LaKeisha. And I told, I let him know, I said, this is an awesome picture. I'm still in it and putting it in my photo gallery. Ah, okay. You're my favorite people. And
since you briefly mentioned it, which wasn't part of what I wanted to talk about, was shout out to Mark Ways, neighborhood friend, Keon Jackson Malone, and my little brother, Chris, all shared a 28th of June as birthdays. So that's pretty awesome. And then my next thing is, did you know that there was a black woman included in the Boston Strangler? When the Boston Strangler was born on Elbert? What was his name?
when he was killing the women in Boston, that there was a black lady. I did not. I'm looking forward right now. Why? Her name was Sophia Clark. I recently found that out, Michelle, that there was a black woman. Her name was Sophia Clark. Her name was 20 years ago.
I see she was 20 years old. Never, never out of all these years, and I remember when all this stuff was going on. As I got older, I was a youngster in 1962, but I remember the talking in as I got older, you know, they talked about it, talked about it in history and all of that, mass murders or whatever you want to call it. But I never knew that there was an African-American woman involved in that.
Two more days. I'ma let you go remind been busy over the weekend. All right. Go ahead. Uh, Clyde Davis recently died, right? Right. You know who Clyde Davis is, right? Of course. The audience, the audience know who Clyde Davis is. Uh, he would have been 94. He was 94. Born in 1932. And my thought, as I said in the car, and I listened to people call in, talk about great Clyde Davis was. Well, my dad was born in 1932.
And I'm wondering how disadvantaged my dad was against what Clyde Davis got when he was younger. Because I remember my dad telling us about how he worked the fields from sun up to sun down. I wonder how much a part of Clyde Davis life was like that. And the reason that I'm bringing that up is because this is what I think about the administration that's going on today. They gonna choke us out Michelle. And what I mean by choke us out is that they're gonna
cut off all our resources, our health, our SNAP, anything that we would depend on that they call a progressive movement or whatever they call it, where they think that Democrats just want to give their people that follow them free stuff. But they're going to choke us out. The rich is going to take over things.
that are not already DGD, I think. And now we're going to be so dependent on a government that we're going to have to do what? How are we going to survive? How are we going to survive if they choke us all the way out? They cut off my health insurance. The big example that the young lady that said that she had to get whoever was in the hospital, she accumulating a $1,000 a day bill.
But it only cost $200 for the medication where you balanced that out. So in the end, who are we gonna have to really depend on to survive? They built in bigger prisons, they're doing all this other stuff. Lastly, I just wanna say, I knew a long time ago when I called the radio station and I heard your voice. I rushed up there and I believe I brought you some Tessie Rhodes. Whatever your favorite was, Michelle,
I rushed to the station and brought it up there and I've been following you ever since. And I have some Christian friends that's faithful in the church and they're doing all the stuff that they do. But I know a lot of them don't have a part of you, Michelle. I was told in my recovery days, I leave out here what you say, I just need to watch what you do.
And you wanted them people that we watch what you do. And that's why you can mention something and people start contributing to whatever cause that you that you're trying to that you're trying to support. That's an awesome thing. I take my hat off to you. I appreciate you. And finally, to my mother, who's going to be 89 years old, Louise Howard, to my 26th Street family, Christy Kane family, to my to my fax of affiliate Dorian. Love you, young blood.
I'm a little nephew. You guys, y'all do an awesome job. I'm gonna continue to support y'all and I'll find a way to make some kind of contribution to this young lady and we can uplift her and let her know. And the last thing I want to say is, remember Michelle, as we lift this young lady up, there are predators out here. So we can't just...
Find something to throw her out there and think she's gonna because just like we're trying to advocate for her life to get better Is somebody that's gonna try to use her as prey? Yeah, I love y'all y'all be well. Thank you, bro. I appreciate it and thank you for all the words All right, look he made me have to go look up two things. I looked up the sister who
was a part of the Boston Strangler situation. Didn't know it was a sister. And then I looked up Clive Davis as well. Clive Davis' background, it was not easy. You still get different opportunities though. But Clive Davis is Jewish for folks that don't know. And his parents died when he was a teenager.
One died and then the mom died first that died the next year. And he was raised by his sister. He finished out, you know, living with his sister. And, you know, goes on to go to school, eventually goes to law school. So he starts out as an attorney. But we know, even with that degree of hardship, because I'm sure if you talk to Clive Davis, he'll say, hey,
It wasn't no better roses. We still know that those opportunities become limited when you talk about a man of color born in the exact same time frame. You know, you don't want to compare. Evidently, some people saw the post that got put up where I talked about them ending the minority student loan program here in Wisconsin.
I said that a Thai person of ethnicity coming to this country, if you think you entitled to the same things as Black folks in this country, you wrong. You dare wrong. And for people who don't think that they owe, you wrong. This has never been dealt with. As we celebrate a 250th anniversary of this nation's founding,
This country has never dealt appropriately with slavery and what they owe. They've never done it. And it was people who got upset about that. Hey, that's not my problem. That has nothing to do with me because I'm not wrong. So to the brother's comments about what life was like for my dad versus a Clive,
Even though class suffers hardships, there are still some distinct advantages by not having been a black person. By not having, because you got to say something unless you are of a particular sect in the Jewish community where your appearance belies your religion. You got to tell somebody you Jewish. I ain't gonna tell nobody I'm black. And for you to decide you hate me.
and you want to harm me. Somebody got to see your last name to potentially know you Jewish. Don't nobody have to see my last name to potentially decide they want to hurt me or be racist against me. So, you know, people get, get hot with you, but the truth is just the truth, man. Let me catch this last caller before I get out of here. Hey, caller, what's happening? Hey, good morning, Michelle. Good morning.
You had mentioned something. I think that was a June tape that you spoke with a gentleman. I've heard that analogy before. But it's probably what I know about the Republicans or conservatives. All they know how to do is take things away. Because we say he goes or who's going to give whatever, give the most or whatever, something like that. And that's all I know that they do is take things away. And that he want to criticize people about
The Trump administration is robbing this country blind, but they don't seem to say anything about that. The city enriching themselves each and every day, Elon Musk and those like him, but there's nothing said about that. And to our brother, Meach, speaking about the immigration, and I'm a black man, and what do you think I saw on that spectrum? They're not just going after those people.
What do you really think you fall on that spectrum as far as the people that are attacking that's been in this country for years? And you know they've had children. So what happens to the children that were born in this country? And I just don't understand how some black people can just support this administration and the thing that they're doing because of a person of color or whatever. I don't understand it. And so what do you think you fall or we all fall?
on that spectrum, you know, if they're coming for them, they're coming for us. You know, that's just how I look at it. So thanks for taking my call. I know you got to get out of here and you take care and have a good day. All right. I appreciate it. I appreciate the call. Yeah. When we have the ability to understand, you know, everybody deserves a shot of happiness. Everybody deserves, you know, to be safe and to live in a way that they are not in fear of their life. And as I said, people had to take us in.
Coming out of the end of slavery while we were enslaved people, you know Canadians Open the country so that we could come there. I mean, it's just it's just amazing to me that Clarence Thomas missed, you know I use the ladder to climb up and now I'm gonna kick the ladder away So nobody else has an opportunity to do that The the only thing I'll say
is that we, as people, Black folks, can't lose sight of the fight. And I'm going to be talking more and more about it as we are leading up to this November election. But y'all, I need y'all to talk to your families because Black folks is on the menu on this November ballot here in the state of Wisconsin. And Republicans have put us there.
in terms of banning anything that takes race into consideration in relationship to the state education, you know, wherever state has the tentacles. There are things that have to be addressed along the lines of race because the harm was done along the lines of race. So if you don't want vote for these candidates, cool. Even though these candidates are the ones that's making these decisions, but don't let.
November come and go and they was deciding to do a law. I'm sorry to change the constitution to amend the constitution in a way that permanently harms black folks and you didn't show your behind up and you didn't say nothing about it. We'll talk more about it in the days ahead. I'm going to end the show. Not as always, not to show our plan.
But I guess it was the show that was necessary. Thank you, brothers. Clark, thank you. Jay. Indeed. To ride or die. Hey, thank you. You know, it's so funny. When Keanu left here, it was like, you know, you selfish. You always be like, man, what I'm going to do without this dude. But having you come to the team. Yeah.
It was just like, you know folks make sure no good folks still still here. Well, you know And then you start talking I was about to get his head cracked here a hundred times. All right y'all like I get out of here. I'll talk to y'all tomorrow. Peace
