But let me start off by saying good morning to the two brothers who can't seem to get along in the room. What up, Rod? How you doing this morning, sir?
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Good morning. How you doing this morning? I'm good. I can't complain. I got my brother hat on. Yeah. That I was supposed to send to him. I bought him too. That hat is dope. Birmingham Barons. I bought two hats for him. Yeah. Because, you know, my brother loved his Birmingham. Yeah. And I even told him I bought him. And then when they decided my house too low, so I was like, oh, I'm wearing that. But that's your fault that they sat that long.
Wait, you know, you have a tendency. We still waiting on one. No, I'm not Yes, I'm giving out everything that I have bought for y'all while I have been on my trip I'm giving it all out before Christmas. Is that like after you wear it?
No. Do you wear your brother's hat? I gave you your Martha's Vineyard hat. I got it. I got it. I did. I gave all y'all y'all hats. I got two. I got two of them. Oh, he got two. Because it was his birthday. Oh, yeah. It was his birthday. See, sometimes when it's your day, you can do what you do. You know, like right now, it's my time to say hi. See him? She didn't come to you first. She didn't say thank you. I did. I did go to him. Thank you. Oh, lord. That mean we got to do this dumb ass question.
I gotta do with it. You know, no meteorologists may no condola. We got to first talk about this weather. But I already said it's gonna rain 100%. But you ain't nothing else to say. What? It's partly cloudy with a chance of meatballs. So you got to add that when it rain. No, no we don't. It's meatballs. No, but guess what today is? Someone asked a question.
And that someone is me now. I've been contemplating for some weeks now and she'll kind of helped me with So I'm gonna ask the people out there cuz I'll show you know the answer I'm gonna ask D. Bo and the people out in radio radio land. So You're allowed. He's inspired this morning Well, actually I got a 1.5 question
First question is if a member of the LGBT ABC ESPN crew falls asleep for nine hours Do they sleep for nine straight hours or nine gate hours? That's one
Big dummy. Push the button. You big dummy. You big dummy. Last one. Now, if you count from one to five, this is why I have an issue with this whole number system and I don't believe it. If you count from one to five and y'all can do it with me, it's five, right? One, two, three, four, five, right? But from five to ten is six.
Five six seven eight nine ten. How is that? Ask it again, okay Do it with me so you can because you count five twice. No, hold on. Listen, so if you count from one to five, right? Mm-hmm one two three four five, right? Mm-hmm, but if you count from five to ten
It's not five is six five six seven eight nine ten How is that because you you don't count five but I counted the one which got us to the five you count after the five so six seven nine
You included five, twice. You said one, two, three, four, five. Then you counted again. Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. That's not how I go, Nick, bro. You said it six. Oh my God. You are a confusing little kid. I never heard of that. You remember the Dewey Decimals?
Again with the shot. Oh, that's a different side. I wasn't trying to get that. Oh my God. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
It's normal folks that was checked in by now that I don't see but if you see where I have the mouse Yeah, I see you see who so it's only You can see the breakdown as to Where the what the viewers are coming from they're coming from YouTube this morning, right? Okay, I just wondered that's interesting. Um, all right, so
Let me let me say good morning to Deebo. What's going on, Deebo? How are you doing? I am blessed and highly favored this morning, Michelle. I'm just glad to be here. Clark had a medical procedure this morning and kind of giving me forewarning that I would have to be in here for Jermaine's foolishness this morning. Everybody got to be here. Everybody. I appreciate and pray for his speedy recovery. Thank you. Be back in the morning. But you know, he good. I'm just great. I just
and blessed to be in here with two of my most favorite people in the entire world, I would be remissed if I didn't, you know, show love and it's just expressed. And I wanted to say on yesterday, I was grateful that you recognized Eric Vaughn and, you know, the anniversary of his passing. I pulled up Kimo, that song, he's one friend, helped me through the day. Oh, yes. Yes. So I wanted to play that yesterday, but I wasn't here.
Could have snuck it in or stuck it in somehow, but I just we let it pass But I wanted to recognize it myself as well because on my timeline on my phone Google, you know when you had these pictures it it brought up the anniversary and you know even like Cassandra Cassandra and Ernie G and these pictures that we took at his memorial service out of Wisconsin Memorial Park and I began to look at that picture and it was like
So many of the folks in the picture are gone as well. Yeah. So that part is what stood out for me when I went back and just thought about it. I was like, because I looked at photos I had from the different services and stuff. And I'm like, man, it's some folks missing. Yeah. Thank you for even asking, inquiring as to how I was when I know you won't really give a damn, but.
Thanks for asking. I know you're just being polite. You know, we can pretend that, you know, I'm carrying up in here. Well, yeah, none. I want, like I said, I want to shout out. I think it was T. Renee Carson that flag for me, that it was the anniversary of Eric's passing on yesterday. So I so appreciated it.
All right, a couple of things to get to this morning. I just want to say this, we have a number of young people on their way to school this morning and the significance and the importance of paying attention, asking questions, challenging and pushing back. I remember when I was in school and we would look at, we were doing world history and we would look at the map. And you know,
A lot of older people now know this that the United States was considerably bigger than the continent of Africa on the map. But I remembered when they talked about how many countries were on the continent of Africa. And I'm like, yeah, that seemed weird to me.
Like these must be some small countries. I just kept thinking about landmass and size. So later in life, and in fact, I don't think I really learned it until I was in college, that in actuality, Africa has been misrepresented on maps since they created them. This is intentional. Because of course, you know,
other folks got to make themselves bigger, better, better. And so they try to minimize what this predominantly black country, black and brown country, I'm sorry, black and brown continent look like. So just recently, the United Nations General Assembly endorsed a new world map that represents Africa more accurately in its larger size. Now, a lot of African countries, you know,
and advocacy groups led the campaign to get these maps to be correctly reflected because everybody has been talking about this for 20, 30 years now that these maps are incorrect and why do we continue to allow them to be incorrect? You're sending the wrong information and by, you know, osmosis, if you will, in your window, you're trying to
reshape and reframe the significance and the size of this continent in terms of global affairs. So the resolution which was sponsored by Togo and backed by Nessa country and backed by members of the African Union was passed 164 in favor. So that's 164 member states of the UN voted in favor. There were six countries in the UN that voted
to abstain. And there was one country that voted not to correctly accurately based on data and facts to represent the true size of the continent of Africa. Anybody guess which country that was? I see hands up. I see hands up in the back. Anybody anybody can guess who that that was? You get it.
I see your hand. What did you say? The United States of America. The United States of America in all of our racist BS was the only country on the UN committee to vote against Africa being depicted
in its actual size proportionately on the map. The six countries that abstained, Serbia, Estonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Moldova, and Ukraine. They all abstained, but one of the things that they say it is, don't get it twisted. We believe that Africa should be represented accurately on the map, on the world maps.
What we are concerned about is what those maps also do in terms of borderlines for, you know, for our countries. So because it kind of messes with the borderlines and, you know, everybody fighting for their space right now, that was their objection. So they didn't go on the record to say, no, we've opened against it.
Because in theory we understand and we know that this is in fact true We've all heard this now for over 20 30 years that the maps don't correctly reflect the size of the continent of Africa so Because we got some self-interest we need to think about We need to just go ahead and you know abstain But we acknowledge that this is an issue. We're just trying to make sure we're okay
in the way this whole thing is playing out. But the United States, the United States, literally no shame, no embarrassment, willing to go into a meeting and honestly just deny silence.
deny data, deny, I mean, it's like what they do, you know, in the health department, you know, Donald Trump loves to talk about fake facts and all this other, you know, alternative facts and all this nonsense. So I just want young people sitting in classrooms, if you go into a classroom and you see a world map, even though good luck, cause you don't hardly see them in classrooms anymore, unless you went K through eight or K through five, just understand and ask the question,
whether or not that map is correct that you are looking at. Oh, I see a hand back of the room. Yes. Yes. Over here. Do they still have globes in the schools? I think they're there. It depends. I think on the teacher, though. But you saw so much aggressive school. Yeah. Like I said, I think the younger class, please don't go to Greenfield. No, he actually went to school. You went to which is no.
I know you don't know. I went to our Avenue actually for elementary school. 21st our Avenue Hopkins 12th Street School. We moved a lot back then we were transients. I don't think the schools that exist anymore do that. Some of them do. What our Avenue still exists? Our Avenue is still there. Wow. Man. Moses went to the school with Debo. That school is still there?
I just asked about the globes. I'm just saying that you always shoot shot. I appreciate this answer. It's not helping me. It's not helping my conversation. Every time you come we get into it. It's not helping my conversation. Every time you come we get into it. I think we have a caller. I'm sick of y'all.
20 minutes. I hope this caller can add something. Cause you didn't. Oh yeah, you did ask me about the gloves. Okay. Hey caller, what's happening? What's up, Michelle? Hey, how you doing? Fine. What you got for me this morning? Well, Don Lemon was talking about the voting that's going to happen in November that people go voting in Texas. Did you get a chance to talk about that?
Not yet, but I got it on my radar so I can talk about it. And then another thing, did you get a chance to hear what he did? He interviewed Chloe Booker on his show, the Don Lemon Show. Yeah, he had him on there talking about some stuff about the state election and all that. I will go check him out. I don't get to see Don as much, but I'll check it out, OK? OK, thank you. Thank you, bruh.
All right, Dbo. I got some people saying that they cannot log in on YouTube. I know something's going on because there's no way we should only have 90 if you look there. I mean, I see it, but I'm just telling you. So that's on the end. It ain't us. No, I because we haven't had anybody log in. Oh, Carolyn Evans came out of 721. But between 706 and 721, nobody showed up on Facebook.
That don't even make no sense. I got nine people on Facebook and 81 people on YouTube. Telling you something's wrong. That don't make no sense. That's on their end. No, because Al, uh, we got, we got a whole bunch of people that if you look every single day, it ain't no way all of those people haven't logged on yet. Plus, um, somebody said that they couldn't get it. It's in the chat. So Lisa, she couldn't get into YouTube at first. Yeah, into the YouTube. But maybe it was something, but it's something on their end. If we got 81 folks.
viewing right now. I don't see it. Yeah, I see it. But I'm still saying our comment sections would be way more populated right now than what we see. There's nothing I can do. Well, I'm just sort of knocking these folks that are there out. Don't don't just went up to 11. So I know I see it's picking up. So for those that are having issue, go out, try to come back in that. That's all I can ask you to do at this point because
Okay, you ain't got to do a whole bunch or you could just call D boys You got a whole thing I need to take my first break of the morning When we come back I got two more things on school real quick and in fact, let me just sneak this one in so remember back in the day when scholastic
the scholastic fair school fair they would come in and they had a little paper sheet and you could order you like some books and then the books would be delivered to the school and it was all exciting you know um I'm to find out they were stealing the money wasn't it not just kidding well what is interesting to me is so my the scholastic that book fair thing is still around and
I did it last year with my grandson and I just got a text message yesterday from his mom telling me, you know, I didn't have to do it. But if I wanted to that the scholastic book fair, you know, thing was happening at his school. So of course, I'm going to send him some money so he can buy him some books. But the thing is so crazy how technology and everything has evolved. So I get a text message that says Atlas wants to shop the book fair.
Shop Scholastic.com. So I go on and you can select a payment amount that you want to donate so that your child, grandchild, kid you care about can have money in their e-wallet to shop at the book fair. They don't got smile. Oh, honey. So I go and I drop $40 in Atlas's wallet. Okay.
The thing that's so crazy thought it up. That's all I mean because these books is like 19 You know books and some of these books are expensive not all of them a lot of them are affordable But anyway, and then they have the ability to give $10 to what they call Like share the fare so children who may not have anyone that will put money into the e-wallet form that there's a fund that's there
So they can add dollars to that child's account. So that child was able to buy books as well. I was so and I meant to mention this last year. I was so taken aback of how, you know, with the change of technology and all the stuff that happens, but that now, you know, and so I donated his aunt from Florida donated his grandmother can donate like.
any when I tell you this is the grand hustle of hustles and it is impressive and people keeping up with the times and using technology today benefit. So shout out to Scholastic Book Fair. I don't know if they're doing that here in the Milwaukee public schools. I know this is again second time for Atlas and I just encourage people if you do see that and they have that share uh that share button that you consider
You know pulling back a few dollars. So when you share you sharing the link looks like you can share that link No, so what happens is you can donate so it says like if I press $40 for Atlas and then it says next and then the next thing it says would you like to also contribute to share the fare and then it gives you an amount from $1 $5 or $10 And you can click that and then so it'll add to your total
And you just pay your $45, $50, whatever. But like I said, children who don't have anyone that will contribute so that they can buy books, there is these extra dollars that people are donating so that no child goes to the book fair and doesn't have the ability to buy books. So I just want to encourage people. Oh, Rhonda said Greenfield does it. They've been doing it for Kennedy since K-4.
So yes, I hope that people are taking, you know, an opportunity. And what I did is I just cut down whatever I was going to contribute to Atlas and pull, you know, $10 out of what I was going to do for him and gave it to another child or gave it to the fund so that other children have an opportunity to get books. And if you see that.
Please, please, please think about clicking that link to donate a couple of dollars so that children who don't have a support system or their family is not in a position to pay for these opportunities for them to shop and pick out their own books. Please think about those babies and make that donation. All right, y'all, let me take a break. I'll be right back.
All right, family, welcome back. So I want to take a quick second and update you since I'm talking about students in school. There was a story, maybe a year or so ago about a, and I talked about it on the show, about a young 15 year old girl who had gone to the courthouse on a field trip. And they, you know, showing the kids how the court process work and blah, blah, blah.
And she was in the courtroom of a African-American judge. His name was Kenneth or his name is Kenneth King, Judge Kenneth King. And the young lady fell asleep in the courtroom during the field trip. Judge King decided to teach her a lesson about not, you know, taking this whole thing seriously.
He had her put in jail clothes and handcuffed And then threatened her To be put in jail, but he had them take that girl out of the courtroom Put in jail clothes and handcuffed because she fell asleep in his courtroom on a class field trip Her mother later talked about the fact that they were
homeless, and they had been sleeping wherever they could sleep in the car, on the couch, here and there, and that that girl was tired. Because some of the places they were sleeping evidently weren't safe, and the little girl was staying up rather than going to sleep. So they actually demoted the judge, and he had to go through training. So what they're letting the public know is that
effective September 30th, he's going to be back in the courtroom. He had to go through training, but he's going to be working in the traffic division instead of where he had been in terms of major felonies. So they said it is in essence a demotion. He had, you know, to take these classes,
the family training. Yeah, he had to take. Yeah, stuff like that. So I'm not sure if he did an apology to this, this child or what went on with that. Her mom said that she is, you know, trying to sue him for $75,000, citing fear and severe emotional distress in her daughter. But I'm just so outdone. We talked about this story. Yeah. Yeah, I brought it up first happened yet. And but I never stopped being
Blown away that you have a African-American judge You understand what the prison the pipeline I mean, I'm sorry the school the pipeline Looks like for prison you understand how the court systems can disproportionately impact children of color and you thought it was okay to put a 15 year old girl in jail clothes so the the the the loss of dignity and making somebody make you take your clothes off
on a field trip, make you take your clothes off and put on some damn jail clothes and then handcuff you even though you've committed no crime.
Yeah, that's so to me. Yeah, it is the mother wasn't even asking for nowhere near enough She should have been asking for enough money so that they could build some generational wealth So I just wanted to update that because that just appalled me. I don't care what he did I'm not cool with him because that's a mindset and a mentality that thought that what he did was okay I won't get over how he treated that baby. I just I'm sorry. I can't you know, it just it for me Michelle. It's kind of like
You see me in what, in your opinion may be my glory, but you don't know my story. You don't know what I've been through, what I'm going through.
You know, I'm smiling to keep him crying. You just never know what people are going through. It is just unbelievable to me. It is unbelievable, unbelievable. And yep, even with his training, I'm still not good. Most importantly, if these are not appointed positions, then people need to have they need to vote his behind out of office. That's what I don't care. I don't care about you going to training because what you did to that child was inexcusable. And if it had been Atlas or mine, I'll be fighting to the to the death for him to lose everything.
Because what you did was such an abusive power. So I just wanted to update people on that I concur and then there is a story that a lot of folks have kind of been talking about in the barber shops in You know different little social circles, but it just doesn't feel like it's a huge enough story to me in the way that the national media is handling this so you all may have seen that down in Florida there was a operation
that targeted multiple states and even a couple of countries that resulted in 163 children who were being human trafficked, being recovered, rescued. The operation was called Operation Statewide Shield. It was a five-day operation. So this was the thing that got me. In this five-day operation,
from August 17th to August 21st. The police were able to recover 163 children in five days. The children's ages range from two months old to 17 years old. Florida had the biggest concentration
46 were recovered in Tampa, 41 in Miami-Dade, six other states got included, plus Puerto Rico and 12 foreign countries. The children faced abuse, neglect, exploitation, human trafficking, sexual abuse. They have shown three white males faces as being kind of like, I don't know, I guess, I don't know if they're the ring leaders, but they were the ones primarily out of Florida that they're connecting to this whole thing.
But it just There's not there's still not a ton of information to help you fully understand the depth and breadth of what was going on with these children I went to a article that was done a couple of days ago in this media outlet called the latin times This was the first time I had ever read their publication and
you know so I was trying to see like well maybe y'all got more information than what I'm reading but it's just not a lot of information um they they talk about that this was a playbook built on stuff that the feds do and rather than one raid it was coordinated a multi-day push that they had intelligence coming in from different places
Tampa was the point of contact for the whole operation. And they were able to pull in all these different places and find these children. But 163 children. So this is the first thing. Then you know it's got to be more. If you found 163 in a five day operation, it's got to be more. And then I'm like,
How does the two month old baby get caught up in this whole thing? So, again, Orlando, 21 kids were found, 32 kids found in Jacksonville, Fort Myers, 12 kids were found, Pensacola, Tallahassee, they had eight and three respectively, but they're saying that this was the second largest recovery statewide that they had ever seen.
And what I'm still not getting the full breast of is how this whole thing unfolds. Three men who have all been named publicly have been charged with lewd and lascivious counts tied to a minor plus single counts of felony battery aggravated assault.
They are some of them already had warrants for child custody interference cases, child abuse cases, but y'all, this is madness to me. And then I'm trying to think like, well, where are these kids parents at? So there are not enough, there's still not enough information coming out for me about what's actually going on with the situation because these three men.
Who are you giving them to? Where are the rest of the people that had the kids? You know, it's like, did you, are you telling me that the three men all maintain control of 163 children between two months old and 17 years of age in a couple of locations? Because you said this was multi-states, multi-cities. Where the other arrested?
Those three men couldn't be in all those states by themselves. So that means those children were in other places. Where are the other arrests? And I haven't, and I'm sure hopefully they're coming, but I haven't seen, you know, the investigation is still ongoing. Further arrests are expected and anticipated. When you took them kids out of those houses, those places, those storage areas, wherever they were, were there adults there with them?
I just don't understand how only three people have been identified. That's one of the reasons I haven't talked in great deal about this case because I've been waiting for more information. But y'all think about it. How you only got three faces out front when you say 163 children missing the youngest one two months old across multiple states, multiple cities, multiple countries, where the other arrest at? Where's all the people being hauled in?
And then the magic question, what is the race and ethnicity of these children? Are these Hispanic Latino children? Are these African American children? Are these white children? I want to know. I want to know. Because I also think that that plays into how hard people look for folks. But who reported a missing?
Where they parents at? I don't understand this story. The way it's being covered, it sounds like it's more people being protected than these children being helped. None of this makes sense to me. And I'm waiting for the good journalists to come through and say, make this make sense. Help me add this up. When you took the kids out the house, nobody got arrested at the house that they was at?
For being you know in possession of a child that had been illegally kidnapped Where are the other arrests? I'm sorry. So, you know, I had a couple people like Michelle. Are you gonna talk about this? I don't know how to talk about it because it's not enough information and The media to me is not you know, and it may be somebody doing the story and it just hasn't broke yet, but I need people publicly asking
When these stories was being told on the the media outlets, I need the people sitting there going, well, where's the rest of the story at? Because this this can't be it. Don't run these little three white boy faces out here. We all supposed to go away and be satisfied. Where is the rest of the story? So I wanted to make sure that I referenced and mentioned that. Jay, how am I for time? Do I need to take a break? All right, so.
That was one thing I definitely wanted to make sure I got in and then I'm gonna just I'll just say this quickly Because I still got some more kid related stuff. I want to cover but I want to just say this Let me see what is the name of it last night while I was working and doing meetings and have all this other stuff going on in the background There was a I think it's like a 26 minute documentary on Netflix
Let me see. I want to just make sure I got the name correctly. So, there is a 28 minute documentary that was released a few days ago on September 4th. It's called InstaDocs, The Decoy Plane.
you do in this 28 minutes, it investigates President Trump's secret plane swap during the NATO trip, the NATO summit. So again, remember, July 26th this year, Trump is taken off covertly Air Force One in Turkey using a catering truck boarded a different US military aircraft. He leaves many members
of the press and some members of his cabinet on this plane that they thought was in danger of potentially being shot down and none of these people on the plane are aware. When they go back and they show the journalists who were left on the plane.
And they show who Trump took with them and the little young girl young woman I should say that's his assistant that it has been a whole bunch of little rumors about like you know Who was this young woman to Donald Trump? She got brought on the plane, but cabinet secretaries are different people got left on the decoy plane Y'all it is it is unnerving The level of indifference that this man
has for other people is disgusting. Best 28. I had to go back when I finally got in bed last night. Just the caption. So intrigued me. I stayed up another 28 minutes to watch this documentary and they got it from every angle. You see him. You see that catering truck. They got the little white thing like John Madden football circling it and like, um,
under no circumstances. Oh, and I loved it because they had this black woman on there who is military, but she's a flight attendant in the military. She has worked on all the Air Force ones. Daddy Bush, Clinton, Baby Bush, Obama. She served all of those presidents. She left when Trump came in. But this sister said, let me be clear, we bought they food.
I'm like, what is this? I don't understand what you're saying. She said, we go shopping for the meal prep ingredients for food that served on Air Force One. Military personnel go buy that food. So you ain't got to worry about nobody tampering, bringing nothing in, pre-prepared food that's been poisoned. She said,
We go dressed in regular civilian clothes and we are buying the president's food and the food that's going to be served on that plate. Under no circumstances would there ever be a catering truck near Air Force One because we don't cater to food. I was like, what? And it's a black woman. You just you never know where we are. She was like, so that was the first sign. It was some BS in the gang.
because you would never see a catering truck anywhere near Air Force One. I don't serve five presidents. I know what I'm talking about. They show, they got the aerial views, they show the switch, they show Trump getting off, getting on the other plane, and then they show him lying to the press. Then they show him
Getting back on this other plane to come out the front door like he had been with them all along and it's scandalous y'all The the lies of this administration and the people around them Absolutely scandalous. So if you get a chance, it's only 28 minutes. If you got Netflix, it's called insta docs the decoy plane. Let me take a break. I'll be right back
All right, y'all. So this last hour, I'm going to be trying to rush a bunch of stuff through. Hold on. Listen, some of us going to be uncomfortable. First story, Carmelo Anthony, young brother who stabs another athlete under a tent. He said he got up under a he was invited under the tent. My young girl and, you know, the guy that got stabbed
pushed Carmelo Anthony first. Carmelo said it was self-defense. So I don't know if any of you all have seen any of this information that is now coming out. You can Google it. It's in a number of sources. Both reliable sources, not just conspiracy type websites. I'm going to just take it directly from the Houston Public Media Group. Carmelo Anthony allegedly was spoiling for a fight the day he fatally stabbed.
Austin Metcalf at Frisco High School Track Meet. And Metcalf had a history of getting into fights and had once sprayed graffiti with vile racist stuff. So they are selling people. Metcalf had his issues. Those were among the assertions made by the lead prosecutor in the case at a hearing Thursday, but none of that came to light during the trial. The defense and prosecution agreed to focus on what happened on that day. The defense
and the prosecution. So I'm like, why would the defense agree to only focus on what happened that day when there was text messages and documented proof that Metcalf, the young white boy who got killed, had definitely said a bunch of racist stuff. It's not working for me. So Anthony's new attorney argued that the motion for a new trial
that he was seeking violated the lack of access to the courtroom and an off-the-record agreement between the attorneys on both sides of the case. The off-the-record agreement coerced Anthony to waive his right to testify. Remember we was asking the question
Why wouldn't this young man testify on his own behalf? Because nobody else is coming to your defense in your aid. Why aren't they letting him tell his story? It was agreed upon in this agreement. I mean, it was decided in this agreement between the two attorneys.
that Carmelo Anthony would waive his right to testify and denied him a complete defense. That's what his second lawyer has said. He said, quote, I don't know that I've seen a murder case with this much off the record stuff going on in the background. So of course, Carmelo Anthony, 35 years in prison, killing the 17 year old Metcalfe young man and Anthony, I mean, Carmelo's also 17 at the time, but
Um, this is the thing that ended up being interesting because I kept trying to figure out why would the defense agree not for it to be introduced that this white boy was also racist nonsense. In this further information that's become available, it says that Carmelo Anthony's girlfriend told an assistant principal at their high school she was scared of him.
and that he wouldn't take no for an answer. That was less than two hours before he fatally stabbed the student Metcalf. Text messages on Anthony's phone also revealed a documented pattern of an obsession with guns, knives, and fighting. Metcalf also had a history of getting into fights,
and had sprayed graffiti with vile racist stuff. So you got the white boy to put out, you know, racist crap on walls and around different places in the community. So he had did it. So his daddy up here trying to paint him out to be some choir boy who just innocently getting know your son was straight up racist. Probably got it from his daddy because some of the stuff that you said definitely let people know he learned it at home. But.
Carmelo, Anthony's folks needed to keep out of the record that Carmelo could be shown with videos of him holding firearms. So. The degree, the graffiti that Metcalf, the white student had painted included KKK. He has spray painted that on something. He had also spray painted kill all black people.
He has spray painted the word nigga. He had spray painted high old Hitler and an upside down cross So this little choir boy that all these white folks in the trial. Oh my god. He was a victim. He was enticed. He was a stop-down racist but Carmelo Anthony um They said that he has said
some interesting stuff about Black folks, Black women in particular, Black girls in particular. And so in the story that I read on another outlet, it said, and see, because you could tell what stories was, was how people were trying to frame this. So they said,
hours before Carmelo Anthony Phaley stabbed Austin Metcalf. Remember I said that his girlfriend said that he wouldn't take no for an answer. His girlfriend reported to school staff that he allegedly had been stalking her and texted her that he was on the verge according to a 75 page court document.
His girlfriend, who she must have been Hispanic Latino, Valeria Torres Perez, told a staff member that Anthony had been driving by her home and refusing to let her in their relationship. At 1259 AM, text messages attributed to Carmelo Anthony show him writing, quote, I'm low-key on the verge. The message does not specify what he meant. He repeated and emphasized it 35 minutes later. I'm looking at the picture, y'all, of Carmelo Anthony.
in November 13th, holding up a gun. Okay? Uh, the document outlines dozens of alleged prior acts that prosecutors start to introduce. Um, but they, you know, agreed to this, this whole thing. Cause they, if, if I got to tell Carmelo stuff, then I got to tell this white boy stuff, um, that got killed Metcalf. So both of them was raggedy from what I'm, I'm picking up now. Um,
Carmelo Anthony had another exchange with this little girl that was his girlfriend and says quote when I get mad I see red when I get mad I black out when I get mad I can't control myself when I get mad my eyes change color That's what he got in text messages. I'm looking at copies of the text message messages while I'm speaking to you all This is screenshots from 2023 so
In the same exchange Carmelo Anthony allegedly said he assaulted another person after the individual posted about Smoking Carmelo's cousin He posted that he was at we posted where he was at and we pulled up and got him. That's what Carmelo Anthony posted on his own page This may 24 May 5th, 2024
He allegedly showed a photo of him holding this firearm while he was posing with the group. May 17th, Carmelo Anthony told Perez he was going to shoot a woman, writing, quote, I'm shooting her. On June 10th, 2024, he allegedly threatened to shoot this girlfriend by asking, quote, how many bullets you want coming at your chest? They got pictures of all of the messages, y'all.
Six days later, he allegedly threatened to assault her again, writing, I'm a beat your blank. The threats continued until the fall of 2024. During September, Anthony allegedly made threats involving the gun, writing quote, gun to the head and saying he would cut another person's brakes. By November, he had allegedly written about shooting something up and referred to gloves, a rope and getting his hands on a switch. I could go on y'all.
I could go on, I could go on, I could go on. Let me be clear. And this is also interesting too. Because in Carmelo Anthony's prison picture, he's ball-headed. They cut his hair off. They cut his locks off. And that's just so crazy to me. But yeah, they cut his hair off. He ball-headed now. Oh, really?
Oh, the mic's not by your mouth. Some people don't know what you said. But Jermaine said they give you the option when you first go in. If you can't maintain it, then you got to cut it. I mean, it wasn't... Anyway, that's me. So it's just a whole bunch here that's going on. And this is one of those things when I talk about... People like... You ain't gonna talk about it? You ain't gonna talk about it? And I tell people all the time, I'm waiting on more information.
I want to see how some of this plays out because while I can bring it up, I'm not going to be able to say they had to order justice for Carmelo. They had to order this happened because we just don't know all these details. Now, let me be clear. Having pictures of you with guns is not illegal. Well, it really is because he was a minor and you shouldn't have these guns. Well, depending on where you are to in the state you live in.
Because it was constant you could be six years old and you know have a hunting rifle Because the great Republicans in this state thought that yes Let's start training our kids out of hunt with guns at six years old. So anyway, it depends on where you are but It seems like there is documentation
That this young brother had a hair trigger the one thing and I was looking for that I didn't find but I read Because I've read like seven eight stories now about this evidence that didn't get introduced in the court Was that he evidently had a disdain for black girls He talked about how he couldn't stand a black ASS he talked about how he couldn't stand a lace front weaves and all they damn weeks and
He went in on Black girls. So... Go ahead, Jay. You look like you want to say something before I go further. Go ahead. Yeah, I was going to say... Now, what he did for the text messages and things like that, it wasn't right.
But however, the what that sounds like to me and seems to me, you know, the way you young and you trying to fit in and you trying to be hip and and you know, you want to do what everybody else is doing, you know, with the taking. Now, one thing for me that I never understood is why would you take a picture with money, guns, whatever and put it on the Internet and put it out on social media because.
It's never going to go away. It's it's there forever the once you release it. Yeah, it's there forever So even if he did that four or five years ago Not knowing that Four or five years down the line he was gonna be in a situation that he ended up killing somebody now those pictures or whatever you've done It's now coming up and it's painting this picture of you being a villain. It's painting Remember none of this was used in court now
But this is all after the fact. Nobody, none of the jurors ever heard any of this information that I've read today. None. That was none of it was ever introduced. None of that was the deal. That's why I'm saying, remember, we sat here saying, why didn't this young brother testify on his own behalf? And that's why he couldn't testify to God up there. They would have ripped him. They would have introduced this stuff. Yeah. And the prosecution was okay with him not testifying because then they would have had to introduce the stuff.
on a victim who was racist. And so both of the victim and the defendant were both flawed. And so, you know, so they both made it, because we couldn't, remember, we could not figure out why he didn't testify and what kind of lawyer wouldn't let him testify.
It had came out that it was in the ninth. It was one of the tools for the track shoes. Yeah. And he was asking why he didn't get up and say that he didn't bring it. Yeah. But you can't you can't now it makes sense. Because now you got all of this. You got skeletons in your closet. All this mess and it's documented. And you got you did it yourself. You got the little girl there standing and saying I was fair. I was scared for my life. And I was and reported that she was scared a couple of hours before he ends up stabbing his boy.
So I wonder if I wonder if it was a combination of things that was happening on that particular day He was into it with the girl Whatever the case is because if she was trying to break up he wouldn't leave alone So you feeling some kind of way and then on top of that you got this white Boy, that's trying to that's racist. That's racist. You know you got all of these combinations. Oh, it was it. It was perfect storm
Yeah. Perfect song. It all makes sense. Let me go to the foot. But see, it's this stuff right here where we go back because we sit here and we had these conversations and we raise in questions because without fail, person after person, why didn't that lawyer put him on the stand? Why didn't this boy tell his own story? You have nobody defending what happened to you or saying it from your perspective. Now we know why. It all makes sense. Let me let me go to the phone line. Hey, Caller, what's happening? Good morning, Michelle. Good morning.
Good morning, man. Right. Good morning, man. Clark. Devo Milwaukee. Yeah, good morning. Tyrone W speaking. Couple different things are very concerning about all the youngsters there. I have to go back a couple of stories that you had there. But the two month old baby that that that whatever to what two months you said. Yep, too much. Children. That's disturbing, man. That's it makes me wonder does how powerful chips is with their outreach.
and how powerful they are to ask for information, not only in the United States but overseas, you know, like give us information so we can pursue, because you know, you get these mail-ins with these, you know, I guess, you know, different people that are missing, you know, like on the milk cart, but you get sometimes some coupons that come in the mail and you'll see their picture on there, this person is missing, this person is missing, this person is missing. So,
you know, how much power does the chips have to say, well, you know, we need your information because we're still looking for this, this, this, this, this, this youngster, you know, you know, I guess, you know, illustration would be Alexis Patterson, you know, they're still looking for her. So, you know, that would give, excuse me, that would give them grounds enough to go to these countries and say, well, you know, we're still looking for Alexis Patterson and, you know, other people as well.
And not only that, but what does that do to the properties then to how that property and that real estate being leveled label as well So I don't know what you know, I mean there's a couple different things there with chips and then you know, whoever the agency is You know, would they have any you know with chips be able to go in and say well, you know, we need to Not override your jurisdiction, but we need you to give us your information so we can
So we can try to see what we can recoup, you know, and not only that, but you know, what happens to the, you know, how the real estate and the property being labeled, you know, from that point forward then. So there you go, Michelle Columbo, Brian. Well, thank you so much. We're trying to be on the case this morning. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. You have a good day, Brian. I'm just having a good day.
Alright, y'all, let me tell you, I'm going to come and hit some local stuff, but like I said, I'm trying to work a bunch in. Before I go to break, I'm just gonna throw this out here. I ain't gonna spend a bunch of time on it, but too many people done shared it, so I can't act like I don't see it. Alderman Russell Stamper, you got a problem, bruh. Alderman Russell Stamper, you got a problem.
It's a social media problem. And I encourage you. If you have that talk to whoever this brother, Douglas Gray is that y'all y'all get together and handle this business offline because the types of stuff that's being said is jail stuff. So there is a post that was posted 13 hours ago by a brother named Douglas Gray. He said in this post, quote,
I had my people fix Alderman Russell Stamper's wife's credit that he messed up basically for peanuts that he messed up. For peanuts, I sold him a $15,000 truck.
for $7,500 on a payment plan. The reason he won't let anyone open the old ice cream joint on North Avenue is because he's trying to be a silent partner or get a major kickback from whoever is approved. That's why it's been vacant for all these years. I have so much more, but I'll be sharing that information with some other people. You going down boss. I'm going to say it again.
whatever this ignorance is is going on right now. But you need to get to this and figure out how to stop this. There's no way not to mention it because everybody is sharing it. Everybody is seeing it. Everybody is talking about it. We have seen Black local legislators, mostly all the persons go down.
I can name names, but I won't. But whether it's kickbacks or. Allegations about misproperately handling money or any of that. Russell. If you notice is out here, you may need to release a statement. Some need to happen because I'm telling you if we see it and people talking about it, the district attorney going to see it.
And a district attorney going to be talking. They're going to be investigating. I'm telling you right now. All right, I got to take a break. I'll be right back. You go have to say some. This this is crazy. You are going to have to say something because. Another post that's out here.
Hang on. Um, uh, you got some folks, you know, that's listening. They say that it is a reflection on all orders, you know, people then get this grunt tool, they go out, they start, you know, saying stuff. Uh, I'm going to look at a couple of these posts that are coming through because I'm telling y'all this conversation is seriously happening in the background.
We understand what happens the minute Black Alders get put on the radar of local, you know, agencies, prosecutorial agencies, people start investigating, questions get asked, they can't get answered. We've seen Black Alders go to jail far too many for, you know, things that other people may be getting a slap on the wrist for or, you know, you.
deal with it without jail, I don't know. But I must just say it again, Alderman Stamper, they got your name out here bad, bro. And you're going to have to say something. You're going to have to deal with it because when this dude, like you just put people business in the street and I don't know what's going on with Mr. Gray to be able to be like, bruh.
It wasn't a way to handle this offline. Maybe you tried to handle it offline. You wasn't getting the traction that you needed, so now you're trying a different tact. I don't know, but this is not a good look. It's a awful look for our community, and it's going to impact the way other elected officials, all the persons are looked at. Y'all need to handle this garbage. Let me go to the phone line. Hey, caller, what's happening? Hello? Good morning. Good morning. Good morning.
We look at this young man. It's hard to hear. Can you hear me now? Okay, I got you. Go ahead, sir. You know, this young man Kamala, you know, these young folks, they put their, all their business on social media. They think it's fun. It comes back to hunting, but then being such a young man and have all this chaos on social media back, that's dear back on the parents as well. What do you
Now your children to do I don't care if they are teenagers you still got to steer them in the right direction because their lives It's always at stake when they make these bad decisions absolutely and We as a past parents of that black people, you know, it's still racism out here really really thick and When we see it, we should say something
but allowing this young man to get up here and not say anything, even though it was damning towards him, he might end up with less time. I mean, when you realize that they both was, you know, they both were problematic. You're right. They both was dirty. Yeah. And both of them was bad, but hey, I'm out here now. Well, and I'm going to tell you, you know,
Because I doubt that Jermaine and I we were talking during the break His parents had to be complicit in him making the decision not to testify Because he was only 17 at the time Had to be so now, you know, I'm looking at mom and dad like so y'all knew y'all son was out here on this nonsense, too So when we all talking about what the lawyer didn't do right his mom and dad got to be somewhere right there
What do these parents do? You see the stuff goes on on TV, things to happen on TV. And then the parents, oh, that was a good kid and none of the child is out here, chaotic. And, and, and it's, it's heavy. You know, you look at the accident last night, the shooting last night with the officer on 37 demonic, whoever that was, you know, the grandma out there hollering. And then they start talking about how good this, but hold on, you and the high speed chasing, you shoot not with the police. Right.
Come on now. Let's make this make sense. And then let's go over to our friend Stanford. Brother, wherever you at, wherever's going on, is bad enough that they paint us a bad picture when we run down public office. Please find your way to deal with this. Because he's in my community. I'm a business owner and a homeowner in his community. And he is the older.
you know, let's let's do something man. Let's get out here and do something and get this worked out. Figure it out. If you are in bad shape out here, hey man, get some get some therapy. All right, bro. I appreciate the guys. Get some therapy. Look, I got some on therapy too. Thank you, bro. I appreciate the call. Take it easy now. So a couple of things. I'm trying to work all this stuff in. Let me mention this real quick. We know we got the upcoming election.
They are putting out a call for folks in the faith community, you know, folks in the peacekeeping business. There is a new election. There's a group called Face United to Save Democracy. And they are doing some training. So leading up to this election in November, during the 2026 midterm elections, Americans will exercise one of the most important rights of citizenship, the right to vote.
While it is illegal, ICE will likely be targeted, will likely be targeting polling sites, increasing fear and even keeping people away from voting. We don't necessarily know that to be true, but there are concerns about it. God's word commands us to care for the vulnerable, Matthew 25. So we're asking faith and civic leaders to join us as faiths united to save democracy.
poll chaplain's peacekeeper, sign up now, turnoutsunday.com. So if you are somebody that wants to keep a calm, moral presence equipped to de-escalate conflicts, they're saying, look, we don't know what's going to happen, but as every agency and entity dealing with elections is beginning to kind of do some training and put people on notice and kind of help people know what to do if this happens, we hope it doesn't. We hope it doesn't, but in case it does,
We don't want to get caught flat footed in off guard. So they are even bringing in people from the faith community and community leaders from some of these priority states. This is a national effort to help make sure that things go as smoothly as possible. And that if there's a need to de-escalate a situation that there are folks engaged, the states that they have targeted, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia. And let me just see one thing real quick.
Because I want to make sure that I hang on. I just was checking background on this group.
So multiracial, nonpartisan, multi-faith, multi-generational voter protection campaign. OK, so I just, you know, you always got to know who these folks are that's showing up in our communities. But they are working in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin. And they are talking about the peacekeepers.
that this is a three-hour shifts from volunteers, a buddy system where volunteers complete the training together and can be assigned to the same polling location. But if you think you might be interested as a community leader or faith person, there is a number. It is 1-866-HOUR-VOTE, 1-866-687-8683. There is going to be virtual trainings on September 28th and on October 15th.
From 6 p.m. To 7 30 hour time. It's 7 p.m. To 8 30 Eastern time And you only need to do one training So I'll mention this a couple of times because this is one of the most Coordinated things I've seen people do trying to anticipate and get ready for this upcoming election the one thing that I will say and I just want to go to Facebook for a second Somebody reposted
Something, dang, where'd it go? They reposted a post from Steve Schmidt, who used to be on John McCain's staff. Let me see if I can find it real quick. You got the other piece ready? Okay, I'm going to play this song while I find this clip in video. Huh? It's on the computer. It's already up there. All you got to do is just play it. Yeah. Play that for me, Jay. While I find this piece.
And we ain't going anywhere. America, can you see? From the fields to the factory. From the classrooms to the victory. They can try to erase our story. But they can't erase our legacy. You're the rose of the post, built the world of a nation. Work for freedom under chains. That's historical documentation. Cotton tobacco fills under the blazing sun.
America's economy rising while our ancestors couldn't run
education.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
You You
you
So I want to thank Debo for putting this track on my radar This is under the name babies baby and it is a artist his name is Troy Davis out of LA and He is somebody who has worked in the music industry for years and he is a songwriter a former music executive and he said you know what I want to see music return
to having a purpose. So in 2026 this year, he picked up his pen and he began creating songs that reflect real life, social issues, faith, history, family, justice, and the everyday struggles and triumphs of people that are often overlooked. The name baby's baby, because when I first heard it, I was like, is that like a eye? Because you know, there's so much stuff you see out there today. You don't know if it's people really singing or what's going on.
And I'm not sure if he, like, you know, just took the lyrics and then had AI turn it into a song or whatever. But that name baby's baby. And I thought about D.I. Sanders. I was literally thinking about this yesterday. D.I. Sanders, well, Shadoor has been going through all this stuff with this lawsuit. He was quoted as saying, you know, my baby's going through right now. And so it was so endearing to me to hear a black man refer to his son like that.
My babies going through it right now. I often talk about Somebody that a lot of people know in the community mark Wade And there was something that I noticed that mark Wade did that I picked up Later in life as a parent while my child was good and grown when mark Wade talks to his son He always says son. Yeah, hey son
If you ever hear him answer the phone with little mark calls, it's always hey son.
He always there's always that that endearing that ownership. That's my baby and It always resonated with me. I always loved it and now that is the way I engage my son when he not being a buster That's the way I engage my son so when when when you know August calls Derek for people who know his other name when he calls him like hey son What's going on? I picked that up from Mark Wade because I so loved it
in terms of acknowledging that relationship and that bond. And so this guy Troy, his late father's nickname was baby. And he's his late father's youngest son. So people used to call him baby's baby. And there are so many people, you know, particularly me and I ain't nobody's baby, you know, respect me. I'm a man and blah, blah, blah. But that connection.
and people showing that level of affection. So whether this is something that's being used through a AI tool, but it's a project he has talked about. It is a project that he is working on to try to elevate some of these issues that are going on in our community. The 250th anniversary of American history as is being celebrated by the White House has deliberately left black folks out.
it has deliberately left us out of this story. And so I have said over and over again, there are tons of people who don't feel like any celebration of any merit is going on whatsoever. So thank you, Debo, for putting it on our radar. I think that that's something, and I don't care if this was AI generated, it was written by his brother.
And so I think that this is something that all of us need to be sharing with our children. It's a great thing to play in the morning when these kids is getting ready for school because you hear all of these great leaders that what do you say you can't take our fingerprints off the bricks. And if you've ever been to Washington DC and gone up inside the Washington Monument.
You at certain at a certain level you can see the original stone when they were building it and then when the project stopped because of You know, I don't know if it was money or whatever. I forgot what happened while they stopped it and then they had this, you know continue building it later Where people marked on those stones Is black he is not lying when he say his black fingerprints on the bricks
in DC and in this country's founding. So just want to say thank you for that. Another thing, let me get in real quick. Y'all, if you did not know, Garfield Days is happening this weekend. It is back. I want you to know that between starting at noon on Saturday, September 12th, Garfields
502 R&B Festival is happening. Our very own DJ, Debo, is gonna be hosting the WNLB Jazz and Blues stage. We're gonna have artist, peer, lead band, V-Funk, Easy Flow, Mighty Miss Erica, Stone Jam Band, Love and Peace, Love, Peace and Soul Band as well. Great food. That's my band, by the way. Yeah, I know show band. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna cut up that day. Oh, you gonna play? You gonna cut up. Oh, cut up. Well, that's a whole lot.
I'm going to cut a fool as Jermaine said. Please don't cut a fool. Just cut up. Just cut up. Please don't cut a fool. But the food is going to be out there to vendors, resources. This is going to be going on. Y'all know what Garfield Days feel.
And it is a storied event in our community. I'm glad to see that the folks are doing the best that they can to make sure that these things continue, that our hand prints are the hands that are guiding these events. I must say it again, the number of times I traveled out of town when I was doing African World Festival and I would have people come up to me from other states, New York, Detroit, Philly, and they would ask the question, so who owns y'all festival?
And I was like, what you talking about? Because in so many states, these black festivals were not being put on and owned by black people. Milwaukee was rare in that that was happening. I literally was blown away at big cities who did not have control. Black folks did not have control of their own events. So.
Support Garfield days if you are available to get out there on Saturday the party starts at noon Live music bands no reason to stay home if you can make it go out and enjoy the festivities I got some you want to say something I was gonna say I'm out there too on the main stage. Oh, are you so I think deep on We're doing the NOV stage
We're doing the jazz and blue stage and then Sharon is hosting the gospel stage as well. So we we got our footprint all over that thing Okay, I'm on the main R&B stage. Oh, so okay, so we got multiple stages. It's multiple stages. Hey, all right now And you know we got the hand on all of what time you playing we hit from four to four forty five. Okay. All right. So Yeah, and the name of your band so serious so serious

It's funny y'all both got soul in the name of y'all being. Yeah, see, because Jimmy got soul. Jimmy got, Jimmy got, Jimmy got soul. Well, look, come out. Somebody said, Michelle, get there early. I'm not, most likely if I'm there, I'm only going to be there like for an hour because I'm actually going.
to go see Gregory Porter down in Hammond on that day. Oh, yeah. So what time do that show start? I don't even know. But I know I'm going to be. I got to be down. I got to be down the road because I'm going to see my boy because I was trying to see him in Atlanta and I missed him. And so when it got flagged for me, he was going to be at Hammond. Oh, roll out. I want to be clear. Roll out. It is I know I got some calls on the line.

Oh, I'm blessed. And now that I'm talking to you, I haven't talked to you, and I kind of feel I've been neglecting you. You have. You have. Oh, honey. Oh, I love you. Yes, yes. And you're like, oh, you've been crawling. You've been crawling cute shows. She ain't been crawling much. Oh, I hear you. I hear you. I know what's going on. Oh, I'm salty. I am so salty. My bag.
No, I'm salty. I'm salty. No, me. I'm not. Okay. Anyway, anyway, this is my thing. When I got my house, I had a flag every, uh, fourth of July or whatever. I remember when I had my hoodies gone to glory and all those people. I used to put them, you know, these flags. But the person with it didn't fall.
But everything that I don't need to plan, not long as that man has been off, okay? Because I do not feel that we're a part of this nation at this time. I will put me a little black and green flag up there, okay? That's what I'm going to do. Okay. Loni Bunch has announced that he's not going to be over at the museum. I know he's going to bring everything on down the road.
And right now, we need to show that we are a part of this great country. I am 100% Denver, Colorado, rocking my home, whatever you want to call it. And my ancestors, our ancestors, they're all over the blood in this land. We ain't going nowhere.
And we're going to make sure our ancestors are going to be all of them down these streets. And they will put their blood sweat and tears. And so we're going to get out here and we're going to vote like we never did and get these schools out of here. Okay, y'all. So I'm going to be working these files and working these files wherever it takes. That's what I'll be doing, Michelle.
That's gonna be my monster man. I love you and I hope everybody hears me because I need the help to get started. I got the room and I got it. I want you to call me but there's some stuff I need to talk to you about out here. Yes ma'am. I really need you too.

She mentioned Lonnie Bunch, and I actually was going to bring this up tomorrow. I'll say it now. So, Lonnie Bunch.
the president of the Smithsonian, Donald Trump, has been doing everything he can to destroy black history as a part and Native American history. Quite frankly, it's not just our history. He is retelling and recapturing history to only highlight the accomplishments of white folks and to wash away the early sins of the founding of this country. Lonnie Bunch is actually going to be in Milwaukee next Wednesday. There is a group of folks that are working on
The Bronzeville Museum and they have started a speaker series I guess as a part of helping to you know raise funds elevate this Museum's work and so he will be here next Wednesday The series is called from the ground up and Lonnie bunch the third will be speaking
5 p.m. reception, 6 p.m. The program starts over at Lubar Auditorium in the Milwaukee Art Museum. It is a free event, but seating is limited. And from what I saw, I went on the website. They have now created a wait list. So you can go to BCAM, I'm sorry, BCAMKE.org. Backslash from the group, I mean from the ground up.
to put your name on the wait list. I am not gonna be here that day. I'll be out at Congressional Black Caucus in DC, but when I tell you I'm so mad that I'm a Miss Lonnie Bunch coming to Milwaukee, I am too hot. So make sure that you get an opportunity, add your name to the wait list to see if you can go. That's the show for the day. Thank you to the brothers in the building. Thank you to all the college that called in. Family, I'll talk to you all tomorrow. Peace.

no meteorologists may no condola.
We gotta first talk about this weather.
100%.
what it's partly cloudy with a chance of meatballs.
So you gotta add that.
but guess what today is?
Someone asked a question.
And that someone is me now.
I've been contemplating for some weeks now and she'll kind of helped me with So I'm gonna ask the people out there cuz I'll show you know the answer I'm gonna ask D. Bo and the people out in radio
So You're allowed.
He's inspired this
morning Well, actually I got a 1.5 question
First question is if a member of the LGBT ABC ESPN crew falls asleep for nine hours Do they sleep for nine straight hours or nine gate hours?
That's one
Big dummy.
Push the button.
You big dummy.
You big dummy.
Last one.
Now, if you count from one to five, this is why I have an issue with this whole number system and I don't believe it.
If you count from one to five and y'all can do it with me, it's five, right?
One, two, three, four, five, right?
But from five to ten is six.
Five six seven eight nine ten.
How is that?
Ask it again, okay Do it with me so you can because you
count five twice.
No, hold on.
Listen, so if you count from one to five, right?
Mm-hmm one two three four five, right?
Mm-hmm, but if you count from five to ten
It's not five is six five six seven eight nine ten How is that
because you you don't count five
but I counted the one which got us to the five
you count after the five
so six seven nine
again.
seven, eight, nine, ten.
Nick, bro.
You sat at six.
Oh, my God.
You are a confusing
little
of that.
You remember the Dewey Decimals?
that's a different side.
I wasn't trying
Oh my
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
but if you see where I have the mouse
you see who so it's only You can see the breakdown as to Where the what the viewers are coming from
morning,
I am blessed and highly favored this morning, Michelle.
I'm just glad to be here.
Clark had a medical procedure this morning and kind of giving me forewarning that I would have to be in here for Jermaine's foolishness this
appreciate and
for his speedy
in the morning.
But you know, he good.
I'm just great.
I just
and blessed to be in here with two of my most favorite people in the entire world.
I would be remissed if I didn't, you know, show love and it's just expressed.
And I wanted to say on yesterday, I was grateful that you recognized Eric Vaughn and, you know,
the
anniversary of his passing.
I pulled up Kimo, that song, he's one friend, helped me through the day.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
So I wanted to play that yesterday, but I wasn't here.
Could have snuck it in or stuck it in somehow, but I just we let it pass But I wanted to recognize it myself as well because on my timeline on my phone Google, you know when you had these pictures it it brought up the anniversary and you know even like Cassandra Cassandra and Ernie G and these pictures that we took at his memorial service out of Wisconsin Memorial Park and I began to look at that picture and it was like
So many of the folks in the picture are gone as well.
So
you for even asking, inquiring as to how I was when I know you won't really give a damn, but.
Thanks for asking.
I know you're just being polite.
Well, yeah, none.
I want, like I said, I want to shout out.
I think it was T. Renee Carson that flag for me, that it was the anniversary of Eric's passing on yesterday.
So I so appreciated it.
All right, a couple of things to get to this morning.
I just want to say this, we have a number of young people on their way to school this morning and the significance and the importance of paying attention, asking questions, challenging and pushing back.
I remember when I was in school and we would look at, we were doing world history and we would look at the map.
And you know,
A lot of older people now know this that the United States was considerably bigger than the continent of Africa on the map.
But I remembered when they talked about how many countries were on the continent of Africa.
And I'm like, yeah, that seemed weird to me.
Like these must be some small countries.
I just kept thinking about landmass and size.
So later in life, and in fact, I don't think I really learned it until I was in college, that in actuality, Africa has been misrepresented on maps since they created them.
This is intentional.
Because of course, you know,
other folks got to make themselves bigger, better, better.
And so they try to minimize what this predominantly black country, black and brown country, I'm sorry, black and brown continent look like.
So just recently, the United Nations General Assembly endorsed a new world map that represents Africa more accurately in its larger size.
Now, a lot of African countries, you know,
and advocacy groups led the campaign to get these maps to be correctly reflected because everybody has been talking about this for 20, 30 years now that these maps are incorrect and why do we continue to allow them to be incorrect?
You're sending the wrong information and by, you know, osmosis, if you will, in your window, you're trying to
reshape and reframe the significance and the size of this continent in terms of global affairs.
So the resolution which was sponsored by Togo and backed by Nessa country and backed by members of the African Union was passed 164 in favor.
So that's 164 member states of the UN voted in favor.
There were six countries in the UN that voted
to abstain.
And there was one country that voted not to correctly accurately based on data and facts to represent the true size of the continent of Africa.
Anybody guess which country that was?
I see hands up.
I see hands up in the back.
Anybody anybody can guess who that that was?
You get it.
I see your hand.
What did you say?
The
The United States of America in all of our racist BS was the only country on the UN committee to vote against Africa being depicted
in its actual size proportionately on the map.
The six countries that abstained, Serbia, Estonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Moldova, and Ukraine.
They all abstained, but one of the things that they say it is, don't get it twisted.
We believe that Africa should be represented accurately on the map, on the world maps.
What we are concerned about is what those maps also do in terms of border lines for, you know, for our countries.
So because it kind of messes with the border lines and, you know, everybody fighting for their space right now, that was their objection.
So they didn't go on the record to say, no, we've opened against it.
because in theory we understand and we know that this is in fact true.
We've all heard this now for over 20, 30 years that the maps don't correctly reflect the size of the continent of Africa.
So because we got some self-interest we need to think about, we need to just go ahead and, you know, abstain.
But we acknowledge that this is an issue.
We're just trying to make sure we're okay.
in the way this whole thing is playing out.
But the United States, the United States, literally no shame, no embarrassment, willing to go into a meeting and honestly just deny silence.
deny data, deny, I mean, it's like what they do, you know, in the health department, you know, Donald Trump loves to talk about fake facts and all this other, you know, alternative facts and all this nonsense.
So I just want young people sitting in classrooms, if you go into a classroom and you see a world map, even though good luck, cause you don't hardly see them in classrooms anymore, unless you went K through eight or K through five, just understand and ask the question,
whether or not that map is correct that you are looking at.
Oh, I see a hand back of the room.
Yes.
Yes.
Over here.
Do they still have globes in
go to Greenfield.
No, he actually went to school.
You went to
which is
not.
I know you don't
know.
I
went to our Avenue actually for elementary school.
21st our Avenue Hopkins 12th Street School.
We moved a lot back then we were transients.
I don't think the schools that exist anymore do that.
Some of them do.
What our Avenue still
exists?
Our Avenue is still there.
Wow.
Man.
Moses went to the school with Debo.
That school is still there?
I just asked about the globes.
I'm just saying that you always shoot shot.
I appreciate this
helping me.
time you come we get
I'm sick of
minutes.
I hope this caller
What's up, Michelle?
Well, Don Lemon was talking about the voting that's going to happen in November that people go voting in Texas.
Did you get a chance to talk about that?
And then another thing, did you get a chance to hear what he did?
He interviewed Chloe Booker on his show, the Don Lemon Show.
Yeah, he had him on there talking about some stuff about the state election and all that.
thank
if you look there.
you.
the end.
It ain't us.
sense.
I got nine people on Facebook and 81 people on YouTube.
That's on their
um, somebody said that they couldn't get it.
It's in the chat.
she couldn't get into YouTube at first.
Yeah, into the YouTube.
But maybe it was something,
but it's something on their end.
If we got 81 folks.
viewing right now.
I don't
There's nothing I can do.
knocking these folks that are there out.
Don't
just went up to 11.
So
for those that are having issue, go out, try to come back in that.
That's all I can ask you to do at this point because
could
just call D boys You got a whole thing I need to take my first break of the morning When we come back I got two more things on school real quick and in fact, let me just sneak this one in so remember back in the day when scholastic
the scholastic fair school fair they would come in and they had a little paper sheet and you could order you like some books and then the books would be delivered to the school and it was all exciting you know um I'm
to find out they were stealing the money wasn't it now I'm just
kidding well what is interesting to me is so my the scholastic that book fair thing is still around and
I did it last year with my grandson and I just got a text message yesterday from his mom telling me, you know, I didn't have to do it.
But if I wanted to that the scholastic book fair, you know, thing was happening at his school.
So of course, I'm going to send him some money so he can buy him some books.
But the thing is so crazy how technology and everything has evolved.
So I get a text message that says Atlas wants to shop the book fair.
Shop Scholastic.com.
So I go on and you can select a payment amount that you want to donate so that your child, grandchild, kid you care about can have money in their e-wallet to shop at the book fair.
They don't got smile.
Okay.
thought it up.
That's all
I mean because these books is like 19 You know books and some of these books are expensive not all of them a lot of them are affordable But anyway, and then they have the ability to give $10 to what they call Like share the fare so children who may not have anyone that will put money into the e-wallet form that there's a fund that's there
So they can add dollars to that child's account.
So that child was able to buy books as well.
I was so and I meant to mention this last year.
I was so taken aback of how, you know, with the change of technology and all the stuff that happens, but that now, you know, and so I donated his aunt from Florida donated.
His grandmother can donate like.
any when I tell you this is the grand hustle of hustles and it is impressive and people keeping up with the times and using technology today benefit.
So shout out to Scholastic Book Fair.
I don't know if they're doing that here in the Milwaukee public schools.
I know this is again second time for Atlas and I just encourage people if you do see that and they have that share uh that share button that you consider
You know pulling back a few dollars.
So when you share you sharing the link looks like you can share that link
No, so what happens is you can donate so it says like if I press $40 for Atlas and then it says next and then the next thing it says would you like to also contribute to share the fare and then it gives you an amount from $1 $5 or $10 and you can click that and then so it'll add to your total
And you just pay your $45, $50, whatever.
But like I said, children who don't have anyone that will contribute so that they can buy books, there is these extra dollars that people are donating so that no child goes to the book fair and doesn't have the ability to buy books.
So I just want to encourage people.
Oh, Rhonda said Greenfield does it.
They've been doing it for Kennedy since K-4.
So yes, I hope that people are taking an opportunity.
And what I did is I just cut down whatever I was going to contribute to Atlas and pull $10 out of what I was going to do for him and gave it to another child or gave it to the fund so that other children have an opportunity to get books.
And if you see that,
Please, please, please think about clicking that link to donate a couple of dollars so that children who don't have a support system or their family is not in a position to pay for these opportunities for them to shop and pick out their own books.
Please think about those babies and make that donation.
All right, y'all, let me take a break.
I'll be right back.
All right, family, welcome back.
So I want to take a quick second and update you since I'm talking about students in school.
There was a story, maybe a year or so ago about a, and I talked about it on the show, about a young 15 year old girl who had gone to the courthouse on a field trip.
And they, you know, showing the kids how the court process work and blah, blah, blah.
And she was in the courtroom of a African-American judge.
His name was Kenneth or his name is Kenneth King, Judge Kenneth King.
And the young lady fell asleep in the courtroom during the field trip.
Judge King decided to teach her a lesson about not, you know, taking this whole thing seriously.
He had her put in jail clothes and handcuffed And then threatened her To be put in jail, but he had them take that girl out of the courtroom put in jail clothes and handcuffed because she fell asleep in his courtroom on a class field trip Her mother later talked about the fact that they were
homeless and they had been sleeping wherever they could sleep in the car on the couch here near and that that girl was tired.
Because some of the places they were sleeping evidently was safe and the little girl was staying up rather than going to sleep.
So they actually demoted the judge and he had to go through training.
So what they're letting the public know is that
effective September 30th, he's going to be back in the courtroom.
He had to go through training, but he's going to be working in the traffic division instead of where he had been in terms of major felonies.
So they said it is in essence a demotion.
He had, you know, to take these classes,
The family
training.
talked about this story.
first happened
And but I never stopped being
Blown away that you have a African-American judge You understand what the prison the pipeline I mean, I'm sorry the school the pipeline Looks like for prison you understand how the court systems can disproportionately impact children of color and you thought it was okay to put a 15 year old girl in jail clothes so the the the the loss of dignity and making somebody make you take your clothes off
on a field trip, make you take your clothes off and put on some damn jail clothes and then handcuff you even though you've committed no crime.
Yeah, that's
Yeah, it is the mother wasn't even asking for nowhere near enough She should have been asking for enough money so that they could build some generational wealth So I just wanted to update that because that just appalled me.
I don't care what he did I'm not cool with him because that's a mindset and a mentality that thought that what he did was okay I won't get over how he treated that baby.
I just I'm sorry.
I can't
you know, it just it for me Michelle.
It's kind of like
You see me in what, in your opinion may be my glory, but you don't know my story.
You don't know what I've been through, what I'm going through.
You know, I'm smiling to keep him crying.
You just never know what people are going through.
It is unbelievable, unbelievable.
And yep, even with his training, I'm still not good.
Most importantly, if these are not appointed positions, then people needed to have they need to vote his behind out of office.
That's what I don't care.
I don't care about you going to training because what you did to that child was inexcusable.
And if it had been Atlas or mine, I'll be fighting to the to the death for him to lose everything.
Because what you did was such an abusive power.
So I just wanted to update people on that
and then there is a story that a lot of folks have kind of been talking about in the barber shops in You know different little social circles, but it just doesn't feel like it's a huge enough story to me in the way that the national media is handling this so you all may have seen that down in Florida there was a operation
that targeted multiple states and even a couple of countries that resulted in 163 children who were being human trafficked, being recovered, rescued.
The operation was called Operation Statewide Shield.
It was a five-day operation.
So this was the thing that got me.
In this five-day operation,
from August 17th to August 21st.
The police were able to recover 163 children in five days.
The children's ages range from two months old to 17 years old.
Florida had the biggest concentration
46 were recovered in Tampa, 41 in Miami-Dade, six other states got included, plus Puerto Rico and 12 foreign countries.
The children faced abuse, neglect, exploitation, human trafficking, sexual abuse.
They have shown three white males faces as being kind of like, I don't know, I guess, I don't know if they're the ring leaders, but they were the ones primarily out of Florida that they're connecting to this whole thing.
But it just There's not there's still not a ton of information to help you fully understand the depth and breadth of what was going on with these children I went to a article that was done a couple of days ago in this media outlet called the latin times This was the first time I had ever read their publication and
you know so I was trying to see like well maybe y'all got more information than what I'm reading but it's just not a lot of information um they they talk about that this was a playbook built on stuff that the feds do and rather than one raid it was coordinated a multi-day push that they had intelligence coming in from different places
Tampa was the point of contact for the whole operation.
And they were able to pull in all these different places and find these children.
But 163 children.
So this is the first thing.
Then you know it's got to be more.
If you found 163 in a five day operation, it's got to be more.
And then I'm like,
How does the two month old baby get caught up in this whole thing?
So, again, Orlando, 21 kids were found, 32 kids found in Jacksonville, Fort Myers, 12 kids were found, Pensacola, Tallahassee, they had eight and three respectively, but they're saying that this was the second largest recovery statewide that they had ever seen.
And what I'm still not getting the full breast of is how this whole thing unfolds.
Three men who have all been named publicly have been charged with lewd and lascivious counts tied to a minor plus single counts of felony battery aggravated assault.
They are some of them already had warrants for child custody interference cases, child abuse cases, but y'all, this is madness to me.
And then I'm trying to think like, well, where are these kids parents at?
So there are not enough, there's still not enough information coming out for me about what's actually going on with the situation because these three men.
Who are you giving them to?
Where are the rest of the people that had the kids?
You know, it's like, did you, are you telling me that the three men all maintain control of 163 children between two months old and 17 years of age in a couple of locations?
Because you said this was multi-states, multi-cities.
Where the other arrested?
Those three men couldn't be in all those states by themselves.
So that means those children were in other places.
Where are the other arrests?
And I haven't, and I'm sure hopefully they're coming, but I haven't seen, you know, the investigation is still ongoing.
Further arrests are expected and anticipated.
When you took them kids out of those houses, those places, those storage areas, wherever they were, were there adults there with them?
I just don't understand how only three people have been identified.
That's one of the reasons I haven't talked in great deal about this case because I've been waiting for more information.
But y'all think about it.
How you only got three faces out front when you say 163 children missing the youngest one two months old across multiple states, multiple cities, multiple countries, where the other arrest at?
Where's all the people being hauled in?
And then the magic question, what is the race and ethnicity of these children?
Are these Hispanic Latino children?
Are these African American children?
Are these white children?
I want to know.
I want to know.
Because I also think that that plays into how hard people look for folks.
But who reported a missing?
Where they parents at?
I don't understand this story.
The way it's being covered, it sounds like it's more people being protected than these children being helped.
None of this makes sense to me.
And I'm waiting for the good journalists to come through and say, make this make sense.
Help me add this up.
When you took the kids out the house, nobody got arrested at the house that they was at?
For being you know in possession of a child that had been illegally kidnapped Where are the other arrests?
I'm sorry.
So, you know, I had a couple people like Michelle.
Are you gonna talk about this?
I don't know how to talk about it because it's not enough information and The media to me is not you know, and it may be somebody doing the story and it just hasn't broke yet, but I need people publicly asking
When these stories was being told on the the media outlets, I need the people sitting there going, well, where's the rest of the story at?
Because this this can't be it.
Don't run these little three white boy faces out here.
We all supposed to go away and be satisfied.
Where is the rest of the story?
So I wanted to make sure that I referenced and mentioned that.
Jay, how am I for time?
Do I need to take a break?
All right, so.
That was one thing I definitely wanted to make sure I got in and then I'm gonna just I'll just say this quickly Because I still got some more kid related stuff.
I want to cover but I want to just say this Let me see what is the name of it last night while I was working and doing meetings and have all this other stuff going on in the background There was a I think it's like a 26 minute documentary on Netflix
Let me see.
I want to just make sure I got the name correctly.
So, there is a 28 minute documentary that was released a few days ago on September 4th.
It's called InstaDocs, The Decoy Plane.
you do in this 28 minutes.
It investigates President Trump's secret plane swap during the NATO trip, the NATO summit.
So again, remember, July 26th this year, Trump is taken off covertly Air Force One in Turkey using a catering truck boarded a different US military aircraft.
He leaves many members
of the press and some members of his cabinet on this plane that they thought was in danger of potentially being shot down and none of these people on the plane are aware.
When they go back and they show the journalists who were left on the plane.
And they show who Trump took with them and the little young girl young woman I should say that's his assistant that it has been a whole bunch of little rumors about like you know Who was this young woman to Donald Trump?
She got brought on the plane, but cabinet secretaries are different people got left on the decoy plane Y'all it is it is unnerving The level of indifference that this man
has for other people is disgusting.
Best 28.
I had to go back when I finally got in bed last night.
Just the caption.
So intrigued me.
I stayed up another 28 minutes to watch this documentary and they got it from every angle.
You see him.
You see that catering truck.
They got the little white thing like John Madden football circling it and like, um,
under no circumstances.
Oh, and I loved it because they had this black woman on there who is military, but she's a flight attendant in the military.
She has worked on all the Air Force ones.
Daddy Bush, Clinton, Baby Bush, Obama.
She served all of those presidents.
She left when Trump came in.
But this sister said, let me be clear, we bought they food.
I'm like, what is this?
I don't understand what you're saying.
She said, we go shopping for the meal prep ingredients for food that served on Air Force One.
Military personnel go buy that food.
So you ain't got to worry about nobody tampering, bringing nothing in, pre-prepared food that's been poisoned.
She said,
We go dressed in regular civilian clothes and we are buying the president's food and the food that's going to be served on that plate.
Under no circumstances would there ever be a catering truck near Air Force One because we don't cater to food.
I was like, what?
And it's a black woman.
You just you never know where we are.
She was like, so that was the first sign.
It was some BS in the gang.
because you would never see a catering truck anywhere near Air Force One.
I don't serve five presidents.
I know what I'm talking about.
They show, they got the aerial views, they show the switch, they show Trump getting off, getting on the other plane, and then they show him lying to the press.
Then they show him
Getting back on this other plane to come out the front door like he had been with them all along and it's scandalous y'all The the lies of this administration and the people around them Absolutely scandalous.
So if you get a chance, it's only 28 minutes.
If you got Netflix, it's called insta docs the decoy plane.
Let me take a break.
I'll be right back
Alright, y'all.
So this last hour, I'm going to be trying to rush a bunch of stuff through.
Hold on.
Listen, some of us going to be uncomfortable.
First story, Carmelo Anthony, young brother who stabs another athlete under a tent.
He said he got up under A. He was invited under the tent by a young girl and, you know, the guy that got stabbed.
pushed Carmelo Anthony first.
Carmelo said it was self-defense.
So I don't know if any of you all have seen any of this information that is now coming out.
You can Google it.
It's in a number of sources.
Both reliable sources, not just conspiracy type websites.
I'm going to just take it directly from the Houston Public Media Group.
Carmelo Anthony allegedly was spoiling for a fight the day he fatally stabbed.
Austin Metcalf at Frisco High School Track Meet.
And Metcalf had a history of getting into fights and had once sprayed graffiti with vile racist stuff.
So they are selling people.
Metcalf had his issues.
Those were among the assertions made by the lead prosecutor in the case at a hearing Thursday, but none of that came to light during the trial.
The defense and prosecution agreed to focus on what happened on that day.
The defense
and the prosecution.
So I'm like, why would the defense agree to only focus on what happened that day when there was text messages and documented proof that Metcalf, the young white boy who got killed, had definitely said a bunch of racist stuff.
It's not working for me.
So Anthony's new attorney argued that the motion for a new trial
that he was seeking violated the lack of access to the courtroom and an off-the-record agreement between the attorneys on both sides of the case.
The off-the-record agreement coerced Anthony to waive his right to testify.
Remember we was asking the question
Why wouldn't this young man testify on his own behalf?
Because nobody else is coming to your defense and your aid.
Why aren't they letting him tell his story?
It was agreed upon in this agreement.
I mean, it was decided in this agreement between the two attorneys.
that Carmelo Anthony would waive his right to testify and denied him a complete defense.
That's what his second lawyer has said.
He said, quote, I don't know that I've seen a murder case with this much off the record stuff going on in the background.
So of course, Carmelo Anthony, 35 years in prison, killing the 17 year old Metcalfe young man and Anthony, I mean, Carmelo's also 17 at the time, but
This is the thing that ended up being interesting because I kept trying to figure out why would the defense agree not for it to be introduced that this white boy was on some racist nonsense.
In this further information that's become available, it says that Carmelo Anthony's girlfriend told an assistant principal at their high school she was scared of him.
and that he wouldn't take no for an answer.
That was less than two hours before he fatally stabbed the student Metcalf.
Text messages on Anthony's phone also revealed a documented pattern of an obsession with guns, knives, and fighting.
Metcalf also had a history of getting into fights,
and had sprayed graffiti with vile racist stuff.
So you got the white boy to put out, you know, racist crap on walls and around different places in the community.
So he had did it.
So his daddy up here trying to paint him out to be some choir boy who just innocently getting know your son was straight up racist.
Probably got it from his daddy because some of the stuff that you said definitely let people know he learned it at home.
But.
Carmelo, Anthony's folks needed to keep out of the record that Carmelo could be shown with videos of him holding firearms.
So.
The degree, the graffiti that Metcalf, the white student had painted included KKK.
He has spray painted that on something.
He had also spray painted kill all black people.
He has spray painted the word nigga.
He had spray painted high old Hitler and an upside down cross So this little choir boy that all these white folks in the trial.
Oh my god.
He was a victim.
He was enticed.
He was a stop down racist but Carmelo Anthony um They said that he has said
some interesting stuff about Black folks, Black women in particular, Black girls in particular.
And so in the story that I read on another outlet, it said, and see, because you could tell what stories was, was how people were trying to frame this.
So they said,
I was before Carmelo Anthony Phaley stabbed Austin Metcalf.
Remember I said that his girlfriend said that he wouldn't take no for an answer.
His girlfriend reported to school staff that he allegedly had been stalking her and texted her that he was on the verge according to a 75 page court document.
His girlfriend, who she must have been Hispanic Latino, Valeria Torres Perez, told a staff member that Anthony had been driving by her home and refusing to let her in their relationship.
At 1259 AM, text messages attributed to Carmelo Anthony show him writing, quote, I'm low-key on the verge.
The message does not specify what he meant.
He repeated and emphasized it 35 minutes later.
I'm looking at the picture, y'all, of Carmelo Anthony.
in November 13th, holding up a gun.
Okay?
Uh, the document outlines dozens of alleged prior acts that prosecutors start to introduce.
Um, but they, you know, agreed to this, this whole thing.
Cause they, if, if I got to tell Carmelo stuff, then I got to tell this white boy stuff, um, that got killed Metcalf.
So both of them was raggedy from what I'm picking up now.
Um,
Carmelo Anthony had another exchange with this little girl.
That was his girlfriend.
It says, quote, when I get mad, I see red.
When I get mad, I black out.
When I get mad, I can't control myself.
When I get mad, my eyes change color.
That's what he got in text messages.
I'm looking at copies of the text messages while I'm speaking to you all.
This is screenshots from 2023.
So.
In the same exchange Carmelo Anthony allegedly said he assaulted another person after the individual posted about Smoking Carmelo's cousin He posted that he was at we posted where he was at and we pulled up and got him.
That's what Carmelo Anthony posted on his own page This may 24 May 5th, 2024
He allegedly showed a photo of him holding this firearm while he was posing with the group.
May 17th, Carmelo Anthony told Perez he was going to shoot a woman, writing, quote, I'm shooting her.
On June 10th, 2024, he allegedly threatened to shoot this girlfriend by asking, quote, how many bullets you want coming at your chest?
They got pictures of all of the messages, y'all.
Six days later, he allegedly threatened to assault her, again writing, I'm a beacho blank.
The threats continued until the fall of 2024.
During September, Anthony allegedly made threats involving the gun, writing quote, gun to the head and saying he would cut another person's brakes.
By November, he had allegedly written about shooting something up and referred to gloves, a rope, and getting his hands on a switch.
I could go on, y'all.
I could go on, I could go on, I could go on.
Let me be clear.
And this is also interesting too.
Because in Carmelo Anthony's prison picture, he's ball-headed.
They cut his hair off.
They cut his locks off.
And that's just so crazy to me.
But yeah, they cut his hair off.
He ball-headed now.
Oh, really?
Oh, the mic's not by your mouth.
Some people don't know what you said.
But Jermaine said they give you the option when you first go in.
If you can't maintain it, then you got to cut it.
I mean, it wasn't... Anyway, that's me.
So it's just a whole bunch here that's going on.
And this is one of those things when I talk about... People like... You ain't gonna talk about it?
You ain't gonna talk about it?
And I tell people all the time, I'm waiting on more information.
I want to see how some of this plays out because while I can bring it up, I'm not going to be able to say they had to order justice for Carmelo.
They had to order this happened because we just don't know all these details.
Now, let me be clear.
Having pictures of you with guns is not illegal.
Well, it really is because he was a minor and you shouldn't have these guns.
Well, depending on where you are to in the state you live in.
Because it was constant you could be six years old and you know have a hunting rifle Because the great Republicans in this state thought that yes Let's start training our kids out of hunt with guns at six years old.
So anyway, it depends on where you are but It seems like there is documentation
That this young brother had a hair trigger the one thing and I was looking for that I didn't find but I read Because I've read like seven eight stories now about this evidence that didn't get introduced in the court Was that he evidently had a disdain for black girls He talked about how he couldn't stand a black ASS he talked about how he couldn't stand a lace front weaves and all they damn weeks and
He went in on Black girls.
So... Go ahead, Jay.
You look like you want to say something before I go further.
Go ahead.
Yeah, I was going to say... Now, what he did for the text messages and things like that, it wasn't right.
But however, the what that sounds like to me and seems to me, you know, the way you young and you trying to fit in and you trying to be hip and and you know, you want to do what everybody else is doing, you know, with the taking.
Now, one thing for me that I never understood is why would you take a picture with money, guns, whatever and put it on the Internet and put it out on social media because.
It's never going to go away.
It's it's there forever.
The ones you release it.
Yeah, it's there forever So even if he did that four or five years ago Not knowing that Four or five years down the line.
He was gonna be in a situation that he ended up killing somebody now those pictures or whatever you've done It's now coming up and it's painting this picture of you being a villain.
It's painting
But this is all after the fact.
Nobody, none of the jurors ever heard any of this information that I've read today.
None.
That was none of it was ever introduced.
None of that was the deal.
That's why I'm saying, remember, we sat here saying, why didn't this young brother testify on his own behalf?
And that's why
to God up there.
They would have ripped him.
Yeah.
And the prosecution was okay with him not testifying because then they would have had to introduce the stuff.
on a victim who was racist.
And so both of the victim and the defendant were both flawed.
And so, you know, so they both made it, because we couldn't, remember, we could not figure out why he didn't
testify
and what kind of lawyer wouldn't let him testify.
It had came out that it was in the ninth.
It was one of the tools for the track shoes.
Yeah.
And he was asking why he didn't get up and say that he didn't bring it.
Yeah.
this.
You got skeletons in your closet.
yourself.
So I wonder if I wonder if it was a combination of things that was happening on that particular day He was into it with the girl Whatever the case is because if she was trying to break up he wouldn't leave alone So you feeling some kind of way and then on top of that you got this white Boy, that's trying to
racist.
That's racist.
of these combinations.
Yeah.
It all makes sense.
Let me go to the foot.
But see, it's this stuff right here where we go back because we sit here and we had these conversations and we raise in questions because without fail, person after person, why didn't that lawyer put him on the stand?
Why didn't this boy tell his own story?
You have nobody defending what happened to you or saying it from your perspective.
Now we know why.
It all
Good morning, Michelle.
morning.
Good morning, man.
Right.
Good morning, man.
Clark.
Devo Milwaukee.
Yeah, good morning.
Tyrone W speaking.
Couple different things are very concerning about all the youngsters there.
I have to go back a couple of stories that you had there.
But the two month old baby that that that whatever to what two months you said.
Yep,
disturbing, man.
That's it makes me wonder does how powerful chips is with their outreach.
and how powerful they are to ask for information, not only in the United States but overseas, you know, like give us information so we can pursue, because you know, you get these mail-ins with these, you know, I guess, you know, different people that are missing, you know, like on the milk cart, but you get sometimes some coupons that come in the mail and you see their picture on there, this person is missing, this person is missing, this person is missing.
So,
you know, how much power does the chips have to say, well, you know, we need your information because we're still looking for this, this, this, this, this, this youngster, you know, you know, I guess, you know, illustration would be Alexis Patterson, you know, they're still looking for her.
So, you know, that would give, excuse me, that would give them grounds enough to go to these countries and say, well, you know, we're still looking for Alexis Patterson and, you know, other people as well.
And not only that, but what does that do to the properties then to how that property and that real estate being leveled label as well So I don't know what you know, I mean there's a couple different things there with chips and then you know, whoever the agency is You know, would they have any you know with chips be able to go in and say well, you know, we need to Not override your jurisdiction, but we need you to give us your information so we can
So we can try to see what we can recoup, you know,
and not only
that, but you know, what happens to the, you know, how the real estate and the property being labeled, you know, from that point forward then.
So there you go, Michelle Columbo, Brian.
We're trying to be on the case this morning.
Thank you, sir.
Appreciate it.
You have a good day, Brian.
I'm just having a good day.
Alright, y'all, let me tell you, I'm going to come and hit some local stuff, but like I said, I'm trying to work a bunch in.
Before I go to break, I'm just gonna throw this out here.
I ain't gonna spend a bunch of time on it, but too many people done shared it, so I can't act like I don't see it.
Alderman Russell Stamper, you got a problem, bruh.
Alderman Russell Stamper, you got a problem.
It's a social media problem and I encourage you.
If you have that talk to whoever this brother, Douglas Gray is that y'all y'all get together and handle this business offline because the types of stuff that's being said is jail stuff.
So there is a post that was posted 13 hours ago by a brother named Douglas Gray.
He said in this post, quote,
I had my people fix Alderman Russell Stamper's wife's credit that he messed up basically for peanuts that he messed up.
For peanuts, I sold him a $15,000 truck for $7,500 on a payment plan.
The reason he won't let anyone open the old ice cream joint on North Avenue is because he's trying to be a silent partner or get a major kickback from whoever is approved.
That's why it's been vacant for all these years.
I have so much more, but I'll be sharing that information with some other people.
You going down boss.
I'm gonna say it again.
Whatever this ignorance is is going on right now.
Bro, you need to get to this and figure out how to stop this.
There's no way not to mention it because everybody is sharing it.
Everybody is seeing it.
Everybody is talking about it.
We have seen Black, local legislators, mostly all the persons go down.
I can name names, but I won't.
whether it's kickbacks or.
Alligations about misproperately handling money or any of that.
Russell, if you know this is out here, you may need to release a statement.
Some need to happen because I'm telling you if we see it and people talking about it, the District Attorney going to see it and the District Attorney going to be talking.
They're going to be investigating.
I'm telling you right now.
All right.
I got to take a break.
I'll be right back.
You go have to say some.
This this is crazy.
You are going to have to say something because.
Another post that's out here.
Hang on.
Oh.
Uh, you got some folks, you know, that's listening.
They say that it is a reflection on all orders, you know, people then get disgruntled.
They go out.
They start, you know, saying stuff.
Uh, I'm going to look at a couple of these posts that are coming through because I'm telling y'all this conversation is seriously happening in the background.
We understand what happens.
The minute black orders get put on the radar of local, you know,
agencies, prosecutorial agencies, people start investigating, questions get asked, they can't get answered.
We've seen black alders go to jail, far too many for, you know, things that other people may be getting a slap on the wrist for, or, you know, you deal with it without jail, so I don't know.
But I'm gonna just say it again, Alderman Stamper, they got your name out here bad, bro.
And you're gonna have,
You're going to have to say something.
You're going to have to deal with it because when this dude, like you just put people business in the street and I don't know what's going on with Mr. Gray to be able to be like, bro, it wasn't no way to handle this offline.
Maybe you tried to handle it offline.
You weren't getting the traction that you needed.
So now you're trying a different tact.
I don't know, but this is not a good look.
It's a awful look for our community and it's going to impact the way other Elected officials all the persons are looked at y'all need to handle this garbage.
Let me go to the phone line.
Hey caller.
What's happening?
Hello
Good morning.
Good morning.
You know, we look at this young man.
from women now.
You know, this young man come out of you know, these young folks they put their all their business on social media.
They think it's fun.
It comes back to hunting, but then being such a young man and have all this chaos on social media, that's steering back on the parents as well.
What are you allowing your children to do?
I don't care if they are teenagers.
You still got to steer them in the right direction because their lives is always at stake when they make these bad decisions.
Absolutely.
as parents and as black people, you know, it's still racism out here, really, really thick.
And when we see it, we should say something.
But allowing this young man to get up here and not say anything, even though it was damning towards him, he might end up with less time.
both was dirty.
Yeah.
And most of them was bad, but hey, I'm out here now.
Had to be.
What, what do these parents do?
You see the stuff goes on on TV, things that happen on TV.
And then the parents, oh, that was a good kid and now his child is out here, chaotic.
And, and, and it's heavy.
You know, you look at the accident last night.
the shooting last night with the officer on 37th of monarchy, whoever that was.
You know, the grandma out there hollering, and then they start talking about how good this, but hold on, you and the high speed chasing, you shoot not with the police.
Come on now, let's make this make sense.
And then let's go over to our friend, Stanford, brother, wherever you at, wherever's going on, is bad enough that they paint us a bad picture when we,
run down public office.
Please find your way to deal with this.
Because he's in my community, I'm a business owner and a homeowner in his community.
And he's the owner.
You know, let's do something, man.
Let's get out here and do something and get this worked out.
Figure it out.
If you are in bad shape out here.
Hey man, get some therapy.
I appreciate the car.
I said get some therapy.
Look, I got something on therapy too.
Thank you, bro.
I appreciate the car.
Take it easy now.
So a couple of things.
I'm trying to work all this stuff in.
Let me mention this real quick.
We know we got the upcoming election.
They are putting out a call for folks in the faith community.
you know, folks in the peacekeeping business, there is a new election.
There's a group called Face United to Save Democracy.
And they are doing some training.
So leading up to this election in November, during the 2026 midterm elections, Americans will exercise one of the most important rights of citizenship, the right to vote.
While it is illegal, ICE will likely be targeted.
will likely be targeting polling sites, increasing fear and even keeping people away from voting.
We don't necessarily know that to be true, but there are concerns about it.
God's word commands us to care for the vulnerable, Matthew 25.
So we're asking faith and civic leaders to join us as faiths united to save democracy.
poll chaplain's peacekeeper, sign up now, turnoutsunday.com.
So if you are somebody that wants to keep a calm moral presence equipped to de-escalate conflicts, they're saying, look, we don't know what's going to happen, but as every agency and entity dealing with elections is beginning to kind of do some training and put people on notice and kind of help people know what to do if this happens, we hope it doesn't.
We hope it doesn't, but in case it does,
We don't want to get caught flat footed in off guard.
So they are even bringing in people from the faith community and community leaders from some of these priority states.
This is a national effort to help make sure that things go as smoothly as possible.
And that if there's a need to de-escalate a situation that there are folks engaged, the states that they have targeted, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia.
And let me just see one thing real quick.
Because I want to make sure that I hang on.
I just was checking background on this group.
So multiracial, nonpartisan, multi-faith, multi-generational voter protection campaign.
OK, so I just, you know, you always got to know who these folks are that's showing up in our communities.
But they are working in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin.
And they are talking about the peacekeepers.
that this is a three-hour shifts from volunteers, a buddy system where volunteers complete the training together and can be assigned to the same polling location.
But if you think you might be interested as a community leader or faith person, there is a number.
It is 1-866-HOUR-VOTE, 1-866-687-8683.
There is going to be virtual trainings on September 28th and on October 15th.
from 6 p.m.
to 7 30 hour time.
It's 7 p.m.
to 8 30 Eastern time.
And you only need to do one training.
So I'll mention this a couple of times because this is one of the most coordinated things I've seen people do trying to anticipate and get ready for this upcoming election.
The one thing that I will say and I just want to go to Facebook for a second.
Somebody reposted.
Something, dang, where'd it go?
They reposted a post from Steve Schmidt, who used to be on John McCain's staff.
Let me see if I can find it real quick.
You got the other piece ready?
Okay, I'm going to play this song while I find this clip in video.
Huh?
It's on the computer.
It's already up there.
All you got to do is just play it.
from the classrooms to victory.
They can try to erase our story, but they
can't erase our legacy.

What
we
could see
I'm
Showing black extra lizard community
So I want to thank Debo for putting this track on my radar This is under the name babies baby and it is a artist his name is Troy Davis out of LA and He is somebody who has worked in the music industry for years and he is a songwriter a former music executive and he said you know what I want to see music return
to having a purpose.
So in 2026 this year, he picked up his pen and he began creating songs that reflect real life, social issues, faith, history, family, justice, and the everyday struggles and triumphs of people that are often overlooked.
The name baby's baby, because when I first heard it, I was like, is that like a eye?
Because you know, there's so much stuff you see out there today.
You don't know if it's people really singing or what's going on.
And I'm not sure if he, like, you know, just took the lyrics and then had AI turn it into a song or whatever.
But that name baby's baby.
And I thought about D.I.
Sanders.
I was literally thinking about this yesterday.
D.I.
Sanders, well, Shadoor has been going through all this stuff with this lawsuit.
He was quoted as saying, you know, my baby's going through right now.
And so it was so endearing to me to hear a black man refer to his son like that.
My babies going through it right now.
I often talk about Somebody that a lot of people know in the community mark Wade And there was something that I noticed that mark Wade did that I picked up Later in life as a parent while my child was good and grown when mark Wade talks to his son He always says son.
Yeah, hey son
If you ever hear him answer the phone with little mark calls, it's always hey son.
He always there's always that that endearing that ownership.
That's my baby and It always resonated with me.
I always loved it and now that is the way I engage my son when he not being a buster That's the way I engage my son so when when when you know August calls Derek for people who know his other name when he calls him like hey son What's going on?
I picked that up from Mark Wade because I so loved it
in terms of acknowledging that relationship and that bond.
And so this guy Troy, his late father's nickname was baby.
And he's his late father's youngest son.
So people used to call him baby's baby.
And there are so many people, you know, particularly me and I ain't nobody's baby, you know, respect me.
I'm a man and blah, blah, blah.
But that connection.
and people showing that level of affection.
So whether this is something that's being used through a AI tool, but it's a project he has talked about.
It is a project that he is working on to try to elevate some of these issues that are going on in our community.
The 250th anniversary of American history as is being celebrated by the White House has deliberately left black folks out.
it has deliberately left us out of this story.
And so I have said over and over again, there are tons of people who don't feel like any celebration of any merit is going on whatsoever.
So thank you, Debo, for putting it on our radar.
I think that that's something, and I don't care if this was AI generated, it was written by his brother.
And so I think that this is something that all of us need to be sharing with our children.
It's a great thing to play in the morning when these kids is getting ready for school because you hear all of these great leaders that what do you say you can't take our fingerprints off the bricks.
And if you've ever been to Washington DC and gone up inside the Washington Monument.
You at certain at a certain level you can see the original stone when they were building it and then when the project stopped because of You know, I don't know if it was money or whatever.
I forgot what happened while they stopped it and then they had this, you know continue building it later Where people marked on those stones Is black he is not lying when he say his black fingerprints on the bricks
in DC and in this country's founding.
So just want to say thank you for that.
Another thing, let me get in real quick.

And it is a storied event in our community.
I'm glad to see that the folks are doing the best that they can to make sure that these things continue, that our hand prints are the hands that are guiding these events.
I must say it again, the number of times I traveled out of town when I was doing African World Festival and I would have people come up to me from other states, New York, Detroit, Philly, and they would ask the question, so who owns y'all festival?
And I was like, what you talking about?
Because in so many states, these black festivals were not being put on and owned by black people.
Milwaukee was rare in that that was happening.
I literally was blown away at big cities who did not have control.
Black folks did not have control of their own events.
So.

Let me say this before I walk out the door.
She mentioned Lonnie Bunch, and I actually was going to bring this up tomorrow.
I'll say it now.
So, Lonnie Bunch.
the president of the Smithsonian, Donald Trump, has been doing everything he can to destroy black history as a part and Native American history.
Quite frankly, it's not just our history.
He is retelling and recapturing history to only highlight the accomplishments of white folks and to wash away the early sins of the founding of this country.
Lonnie Bunch is actually going to be in Milwaukee next Wednesday.
There is a group of folks that are working on
The Bronzeville Museum and they have started a speaker series I guess as a part of helping to you know raise funds elevate this Museum's work and so he will be here next Wednesday The series is called from the ground up and Lonnie bunch the third will be speaking
5 p.m.
reception, 6 p.m.
The program starts over at Lubar Auditorium in the Milwaukee Art Museum.
It is a free event, but seating is limited.
And from what I saw, I went on the website.
They have now created a wait list.
So you can go to BCAM, I'm sorry, BCAMKE.org.
Backslash from the group, I mean from the ground up.
to put your name on the wait list.
I am not gonna be here that day.
I'll be out at Congressional Black Caucus in DC, but when I tell you I'm so mad that I'm a Miss Lonnie Bunch coming to Milwaukee, I am too hot.
So make sure that you get an opportunity, add your name to the wait list to see if you can go.
That's the show for the day.
Thank you to the brothers in the building.
Thank you to all the college that called in.

Peace.
