Unpacking Trump's $500 Checks: Bribery or Policy?

Say Something Real · Thu Oct 8, 2026

Let's go!

After the meeting

I just wanted y'all to know when I was bumping on my way into work this morning, it was people looking over in the Jeep like seriously ma'am, it is 6.35 in the morning. My music was sky high, I have excellent, I have.

Excellent speakers in my Jeep. I'm talking about, you know, enviable speakers is in my Jeep. And I had this old sky high. I love, I'm like, if I was ever, if I had been born a dude, I would have been a Q. Oh my God. And I mean, I'm just, and I can see my son. I'm just going down. Okay. I'm sorry. I just felt like y'all should go.

what I was rocking to this morning. I love that song. I love all the social media posts where they got the minimal mega sci-fi moving and dancing to this. It's one of my favorites. And I'm like, how can a song that's meant for somebody else be one of your favorite songs? Is that song not cool? Oh my God. Who bringing the chicken this time? He said, but we got the minutes in line. I mean, I'm just like,

If you are Greek, you know, you know, if you heard that song, you know, all of something was talking about him referring to or just ever been in an organization, but anything positive and on the uplift of brothers and sisters in this community, I am here for it. So as soon as I get off the air, I'll be bumping it again in my car. And I'm playing it like it's Frankie, I'm just going down the streets and people like seriously, man, and I have my windows cracked seriously, ma'am. It was bad.

It was bad. You know, and I was like, well, let me crack my windows. So my windows don't shake. And I'm making everybody else coffee rattled in a car. But good morning. Good morning.

Yeah. After this, then one guy come by my house mad, like he come every other day, and he be bumpin' so hard my little figurine be fallin' off. Listen. Yeah, you gotta be respectful when you ride. I do it on the highway. Uh-uh. I do it in residential neighborhoods. I serve so hard. I do it on Capitol Drive, though. I serve so hard.

So let me say good morning to the brothers in the building. Since you're disrespectful, let's just start with you first. What's going on right now? How are you doing this morning, sir? You know,

Today, it's going to be a beautiful day. It's going to feel like summer fall outside. It's going to feel like summer fall. Yeah, summer fall is when it starts off 70, but towards the evening, it starts to cool down and get cool. That's what happens during the summer fall. But then when it becomes complete fall, it's 50, and then it drops, and then winter time comes in. So right now, we're in the area.

of summer fall. Oh, God. Mediologists may know Candela. Candela. Summer fall, that's where we're at. You got me already wishing for a Thanksgiving break. Summer fall. You got me already wishing for it. Okay. I'm doing pretty good. Go ahead. It's a beautiful day.

Glad to be here, bro. Listen, Brewer's won. I was up all night cheering, watching the game with my big screen, you know, the popcorn and other indulgences and, I mean, Brewer's won. So, to the NLCS, National League Championship Series, baby.

We can play the Dodgers and hopefully that we can get past the Dodgers. Yeah, because they don't meet us three times. Yeah, man, Dodgers have always been our thorn. Yeah, they're four times. They got to do it. So maybe, you know, that we can get through. And if we can, it'll be our first trip to the World Championship since 1982. That's the first time I ever came. I was here. I was here for I forgot which game I was here for. But I came up for one of the World Series games. And that was the very first time I'd ever stepped foot in Wisconsin.

Um, but that was I was here had no idea I would end up moving here, but I was here Well, we glad you moved. That was a year. My son was born always like that's how I always keep up with the last time bruises in the world series. Well, we glad you moved here Let me go. Let me go. How you doing? How you doing? Man, man, feeling good. You look good

Thank you. Go ahead and say it. Why didn't you tell me I look good? Hey, man, I can't have none of my women. Didn't mean it. Didn't mean it. I can't have none of my women telling all the men. Well, you should get you some. You should get you some women first. Can't have none of my women. You don't have to worry about it. But a bunch of women. You need to get you some. I told him it's 70 to 50. Don't tell me. Hey, get you some. All right, hang on.

Alright, somebody just hit me something and yes, I'm getting ready to address it right now. I just want to pull up the story real quick. But Clark, you said you're good. You're feeling good. I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good. Good. Alright. So, someone just sent us a check and they said, I mean a check, a photo of a check.

And they say, good morning, Ms. Michelle. I received this by mail. Do you know if the check-in letter is real? And so it is a picture of a check for $500 from the United States Treasury, dated September 30th, 2026, and signed by Vana S. Robinson. And I'm like, okay. But then there's an accompanying letter, U.S. Department of the Treasury, and it says...

For years of Biden administration over chart. Wait, we're to let it go. Dang it. Yeah, I heard about that. My mother-in-law told me about that. Uh, where's, where'd you go? Hang on. I think you said you had a bomber kid. You get five and you had it. No, but I actually got a video of a white guy that she's talking about there. Yeah, no, it, you know, because no, they, the checks, and I'll tell you, I'll tell you right now. Um, if I can get the thing to fly, okay.

So it says that for years, the Biden administration overcharged you to fund the operation of healthcare.gov. That money belongs to hardworking Americans, not the government. And now I am returning it to you. With this historic action, my administration is taking the surplus funds that accumulated from the Obamacare premium tax and issuing a one-time refund, a one-time $500 refund to Americans who use the healthcare.gov platform

to purchase their health insurance but who do not receive taxpayer subsidies to help pay for their coverage. You have paid into this flawed system and now you are finally getting something back. And then it goes on to say some more crap and it's signed. May God bless you and may he continue to bless the United States of America. Sincerely, doofus, Donald J. Trump. Yes, that check is real. If you pay into

I mean, if you pay through healthcare.gov and you bought your own healthcare insurance and you did not receive a subsidy, the check is real. The federal government has been mailing out $500 checks. Not everyone is getting them. This is specific to people who were utilizing what we ended up calling Obamacare.

They started actually being mailed out on September 30th and it is a one-time refund as I said about a million Americans are going to be getting this check and this is people who bought their health care insurance through the federal marketplace You must reside in one of the 30 states that use a federally operated our health insurance exchange healthcare.gov You purchased an individual health care plan through the exchange

uh for 2026 and um uh and you pay full price for your insurance and did not receive taxpayer funded uh advanced premium credits uh and so you know this is one of those things that as far as i'm concerned it's just trump trying to bribe people to vote for him because if you had

and if Republicans would do and work with Democrats to do a reasonable health care plan that Americans can be insured, there would have been no need for an Obamacare, ACA, Affordable Care Act because we can get on one accord and make something work. Going all the way back to Trump's first term, and well before then, but I'm just going to talk about it in the most recent

Period of presidencies. We've been waiting on Republicans to produce health care Paul Ryan, you know was supposed to be helping to usher through something when he was speaker of the house And every president before then What Obama and Nancy Pelosi were able to get accomplished along with Democrats was nothing short of a miracle

There are young people right now in college on their parents insurance until a 26 years old That that was not possible before people who were not terrified to go to the doctor All this is is just another tactic and using taxpayer money to do it So yes, there will be some people that will be getting those checks. You did get one So somebody says so we are buying votes. Where can I get a check?

Yeah, vote blue. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we buying votes. We telling people, you know, if the Republicans get back in office, y'all gonna all give $5,000. What is that? What is that? Sound like a scam to me. 100%. Sound like a bribe. I'm gonna give you $90 to go towards your prescription. And that's all he know how to do is throw out money, you know, when you realize you lose it. But I'm not gonna give you what you really need.

which is healthcare. And for 780,000 people that they're talking about throwing off of ACA because of suspected fraud. So you getting ready, one visit to the doctor is that $500 check. Yeah. When your healthcare is not straight. I mean, go ahead. What he's really doing is he's squeezing the people with these gas prices.

Fool prices and all that he's squeezing the people but he's giving them crumbs as a little incentive Like yeah, okay. Well because he know it's tight. Yeah, but if I give you a little something it's gonna seem like I'm helping you and helping the cause but in reality It's your money anyway one two, um It's not helping because that little 500

When you go to the doctor your bill will be two thousand and again remember though remember this is money you already paid into the system So he's not giving you anything

Yeah, it's your money. Yeah, this is you because had you not been paying for your own health care insurance, you wouldn't even be eligible for this in the first place. So what's the question? What they're going to do for Obamacare if he's doing that? They're trying to gut it. They've been trying to figure out how to legally break Obamacare. They were mad that Republicans never introduced their own health care plan. On what? Obamacare. What was that mix? No, but not mix.

No, McCain did the thumbs. He was the one that did the thumbs up to vote for Obamacare. Right. Yeah, it is because John McCain came on board. Yeah, they were trying to get rid of it. They can't help everybody. I mean.

Come on, everybody who was under insured in this country. And so Republicans are just salty that they've never introduced a health care plan ever, never, never. And they didn't like that it got done under the Obama administration. Of course, they didn't like a lot of the features in it that excuse me, tended to look out more for consumers.

And they've been trying to break it every day with the promise that we have something bigger and better. Donald Trump lying like that fat man on the pop-out commercial. On Tuesday, I'm gonna have a plan for you. On Tuesday, I'm gonna pay you back for this hamburger you bought me today. You bought me a hamburger, I'll gladly pay you on Tuesday. And Donald Trump got hung up on Tuesday.

And so on Tuesday, we dropped the health care plan. On Tuesday, on Tuesday that came in with 9,000 times, we still went on a health care plan. And the idea that Congress, that nobody makes a move in terms of Republicans to deal with the subsidy payments and so people can no longer afford health care coverage. The folks who were able to figure it out, get some help on the, you know, but we got breaks for the richest people in the world up.

We got tax breaks tax shelters, you know, you got corporations who pay no corporate income tax because of all of the loopholes created for them But everyday people who need to help the most we have nothing for you We have nothing for you y'all need to figure it out y'all live in quote one of the greatest countries in the world But you have no access to health care. You have no affordable health care You are

potentially at home dying and not going to the doctor because you are terrified of a bill. You are terrified to get that hospital bill. So yes, there will be roughly a million people that are going to get this check.

But it is only because they spent their money up front out the gate. The federal government is not giving you anything and money. He got that money. And what he's doing is because he could have been gave these people back money. We're close to election. Now he's doing it. He's he's doing it close to the election because he want people to feel like Trump is giving them money just like they did when it's hard, when it's hardship.

Yeah. So now that people's in hardship, it make it looks like, oh, would Trump love America? Because look, when gas prices was high, when food was high, Trump gave us $500. Trump gave us $5,000. All of this stuff that he was promising, because I think he still owe people some money from the first time he promised. Well, he got all that money, man. He bills are so much money from the United States. They look stupid. Well, I'm just saying we got to be way more savvy. I'm glad, though. Thank you for the.

Listener who sent the text, but yes, ma'am your check is real and it's show money. What's a user for gas? Yeah, and it's show money The government didn't give you nothing that is your money. Let me take a phone call before I go to break. Hey caller. What's happening? What's going on Arizona? How you doing today, bruh?

What it what it damn do I got I got two things Did you see the statue of Trump? Oh the gold on them on that year to go the naked one that he's naked

And they got the gut and the fat cheeks and all. And it was an old white man that made it. So for people that are like, what's that you y'all? Where is that? It's in France.

They have called it the King of Injustice. It's the name of this naked statue of Donald Trump. And he's so, oh, it's so unflattering. It's so... It just... That lets you know how it is, man. I mean, it lets you know how we're seeing around the world, what people are thinking about us.

What does it say? It says something about stepping on, holding the man, holding the American people down? Yep, for some reason. Look, the Trump administration got, when you pull it up, your screen go blank. Yeah, my screen be working fine.

Yeah, Google turned off the whole internet. It's a fake statue. The minute I pulled it up, it must rain. I'm telling y'all, my screen is completely blank. I can't pull up nothing.

Let me see if I can pull it up on my other shirt. Only Magga people can pull it up. Yeah, I'm telling you, Dave. He got me a Magga purse to get it. Oh, this is so funny. Yeah, but, you know, dumb stuff love gold and everything, like some gold shoes. They made sure they painted it gold. Yeah, that was hilarious.

And did you hear the audio from the girl from high school? Yeah, I talked about the fact that it was national news yesterday. She needed to be in a crazy house.

Look, I'm just say okay. We'll see I'm just saying though. I'm just saying man. The way she was talking to them kids she was talking about the kid boys say my life and we'll see We'll see we'll see But all right, I gotta go to break I

Make sure you put your vaseline on your knees and ear bones in your face and look like a shiny nipple. Happy Vaseline Day? Okay, stay there. And any hurry up and get out. Yeah. Happy Vaseline Day. All right. Voting Day. What did that just say, Mark? Go back to the... No, you're all right. Voting Day November will be...

as hot as hot honey. Okay, what's going on, Camille? Hot honey. Yes, November is coming, but don't be surprised if there is no snow. What conversation does y'all have when there is coming? Yeah, when there is coming, if we don't get these folks out of office, it's going to be long, cold and blue. Yeah, just that. Hey, hold on, man. Why you come creeping in here looking like that, man?

Yeah Actually Actually Just walking up with stripes on the shirt. I'm like, hold on. Who is this dude? Okay. Go to break your man. You can whip him in the break. Turn the air off man. Stop turning the air back on.

You know, we got about four clubs. All right, family, let me get that. We're going to actually cover some stories. We'll be right back. Cover our shoulders. All right, family, before I get to a number of stories today, let me just take a second. Just a moment because I was looking at some recent comments by a NFL player, Marlon Humphrey, who.

recently took a ride with Donald Trump in the. The presidential vehicle. And, you know, he's been getting kind of some backlash and people asking questions like, so are you a Trump supporter because Trump is inserting himself into more sports related.

you know, kinds of things trying to appeal to that male demographic, you know, quite frankly, most often white males. But if some of you Negroes want to jump on the bandwagon, you know, come on, I'll take y'all to. And so Balton Ravens, quarterback Marlon Humphrey, took this ride with Trump when he was recently in Baltimore. And again.

in response to people kind of getting at him, like, you know, dude, what was you doing in the car with Trump? You know, he said, quote, that was a little surprising. It was not how things were supposed to go. But President Trump asked us if we wanted to ride with him, and I wouldn't turn down a ride from the president. I didn't really think about it. The I guess and in the trails off, you know, me.

but that was quite the experience to be in that very armored vehicle. So he goes on to say, quote, to be honest, I did not vote. I don't think I have ever voted. I did try to vote this last time, but my absentee ballot never came in. I don't really have any political beliefs, but I do plan on voting the next time around.

He never voted. He said he had never voted. Tried to vote this last time. And you know, I have no political beliefs. Nah, this is Baltimore Ravens. But he said I have no political beliefs. And I just want to just see him and just talk to him and be like, so you don't have no beliefs about your contract?

You don't have no belief about how much taxes you pay on how much money you earn You don't have a belief about whether or not you get taxed on bonuses or performance Performance enhancements, you don't have no no beliefs about what you pay for that house you bought You don't have no beliefs about how much that car cost you and where you register it at The ignorance of saying I have no political beliefs

because people want to only associate politics as Democrat or Republican. That's not what politics is. Politics is everything you do every day. Every day. From how much the cell phone costs to what kind of content is on the cell phone, to what I can access on the cell phone, what this paper is made out of, where it's printed, you know, how much the minimum wage is for the people who are making it.

politics is everything that we touch and we do in this country and in this world is politics. We have got to educate people to be better than this. To have this kind of money to some degree of platform and you sit up and say, hey, you know, and I'll give you, you ain't voted. It's like I said, I'm talking everyday regular people who will tell me I have not voted. That's okay. I'll give you that. We're going to educate you so you do.

But to sit up and not understand young brother when you say I have no political beliefs Do you have position on what happened to Colin Kaepernick? It's just so dumb and I know and I don't want to I would never say that to him personally, but come on fam

And this is the part we are missing when we educating kids in school, when we talking in our houses and our families, we don't understand. Everything is political. Everything. You want to say something, Jermaine? No, I was just I was just going to say if he has never had any stake in voting and he don't have any political beliefs, then you sitting around Trump as an empty vessel.

He can fill you up with all type of BS and then for you to say, hey, I'm running with the president of the United States. No other president has ever did this. So now I could start leaning towards development and allegiance. Yeah. Yeah. Fabricism. I mean, it is so sad. And, you know, that's like when Nellie.

when he went to perform for one of the Republican events, and he was like, man, it's the presidency. You don't disrespect. Stop playing with me. Because it's that very same presidency that's got the foot on their neck of black and brown people in this country. It's that same presidency.

that's tearing up HBCUs. It's that same presidency that's putting qualified black people out of the military. It's that same presidency that is co-signing what's happening over in Israel and 78,000 people are now dead as a result of that retaliation for that October 7th attack in which 1200 Jews were killed. It's that same president who

Literally got us at war with everybody that's ever been a friend to us, but you cozying up to Putin to my man over in China to the crazy the not the Korean What's his name Kim Jong-un? You know, this the same do so don't give me that BS about it's the president don't give me that so

If the if he was the leader of the Klan but he still happened to be the president of the United States you would have still got in the car Yeah, you would have still got in the car Like at some point you gonna stop trying to play with me about it's the office that I respect And it's the office that has the lure and why I'm doing it Not when 300,000 black women have lost a job, bro. They look like your mama your sister your auntie

the women in the neighborhood that help bring you up. No. So I just, when I saw that, the work being done to infiltrate into the black community is crazy. And we got people that's falling for the okey-doke every day. But systems have failed.

When a young brother making the kind of money that this young brother is making does not understand that everything is political Let me go to the fall line. Hey caller. What's happening? Hello. Hello. Good morning. Hey, so at least how you doing this morning?

I'm doing well. You have to start taking your messages because I'd be first checking in. Oh, my bad. I'm so sorry. I'm not I'm not always seeing this. Oh, my bad. Right. Yo, that's her credit. Look, I take it back. I take it back. Okay, okay. Wait a minute. Look, what you on your way to a free drink with Luther? No.

I was the crew, that music just won. Oh, that music was banked. I know, I know, I see. She fed me Luther, her and Latisha, y'all going to a preglick that we don't know about. Don't be surprised. You can go, so please. My baby do. You can go, so please, you can go. All right. All right. Love y'all. Love you too. Let me go to the phone line. Hey, Carla, what's happening?

Hello. Hello, Michelle. Yes. Hey, good morning. Good morning, everybody. Good morning. Yes, I was listening and then you were talking about President Obama's Obamacare. Yes. And then I have to call him President because every time I look around, everybody says President Trump like, oh, but when President Obama was up there, he couldn't even wear a beige suit.

Exactly. But he was, you know, him and that John Robert, from what I understood, got that affordable health care plan in. And they started calling it Obamacare to start bashing it in cursing it, just like everything that happened in America is black, black, black. They make little undertones to say crying, you know, to specify it's a black thing, you know. But anyways,

Now, John Roberts was the one supposed to help Obama seal that Affordable Care Act. Now, how can the Republicans come in and undo it when John Roberts, the main thing up there in the Supreme Court, helps them get it in? So that's what I can't figure out. All right, hang on. I'll tell you what. I will respond to that. I need to take a break, but I will respond to that on the other side. Yeah, check it out.

Excuse me. I hear you. I'm joking in here. I'll be right back, y'all. Okay. All right. Bye. All right, family. So just real quick on the John Roberts discussion that the caller had, you know, that was a Supreme Court decision that talked about whether or not it was whether or not it was legal for the individual mandate that was connected to health care. But to be clear, the work to get Obamacare through

is, you know, that was Nancy Pelosi and Barack and all of the Democrats on the hill that were working so diligently to get it done. The Roberts vote became critical on the individual mandate. And I can talk more about that. But, you know, we just are in a situation right now where none of this stuff just makes sense when you just look at it.

And again, people want to step up and take credit for work that they have not done. While Donald Trump is telling you, I'm going to give you a refund, but you've done nothing to give people health care. But let me let me switch gears for a sec. I want to bring it home because we have been talking a lot about flock cameras. You know, we have had.

people in to talk about what the impact has been on communities, particular communities of color, misidentifications, problems with flot cameras, the misuse of the technology by law enforcement, even local law enforcement right here in Milwaukee. And so I'm really very disappointed.

that the Milwaukee Police Department, under the leadership of Jeffrey Norman, has made the decision that is going to renew their contract with the flock camera company for 2027. So in an email that a department official sent to Milwaukee City staff on October 6, the department's decision to renew the contract comes after these months of pushback about flock safety, car tracking cameras,

including about 30 people calling for the city to cut ties with the company at a public hearing that happened on October 5th. The email said, quote, the police department intends to renew our contract with Flock at the appropriate time to ensure continuity of service and to maintain the investigative and public safety benefits the system provides. The email was from police budget director Laura Ingen.

And I may be saying her last name incorrectly. I apologize. The statement said that the department remains committed to strict oversight. But see, that's internal oversight. Talking about, you know, what happens with your police officers who try to track down a love interest, you know, or catch up with a woman or whatever they're doing. That's internal oversight. But all of the concerns that have been raised, particularly my black folks,

and people of color who have said that these flock cameras have misidentified my vehicle, have misidentified me, and have said, people have sat in jail for an hour, for 13 days, because the flock cameras got it wrong. And these are stories that are happening in real time, not a year ago when the technology is still being implemented, not three years ago.

Last week there are stories after stories after story woman spends 13 days in jail after far camera misidentifies her car This is a woman who says she was thrown in jail for 86 hours because

The flock cameras said that her car was involved in a car accident that it was not her car. Another one, a black team is suing, he's out of San Diego, suing the city of San Diego and the flock people for saying that he attempted to car jack a vehicle based on an automated license plate reader misidentification. The man was like, they also was able to use flock to prove that man's car was five miles away somewhere else. It didn't have anything to do with this crime.

It's too much uncertainty. And yep, I'm sure that the police believe that flock has value and has been of assistance to them. But it is too when other cities are walking away, other municipalities are backing up. People see the inherent problem with some of this technology. So I'm hoping that whatever votes that the common council takes can prohibit.

because while the police department can say, we intend to move forward with the contract in 2027, if the city don't give you no money to pay for it, then how are you going to pay for it? All the persons have to stop the use of this technology until we can assure that people are not going to be harmed by it. I don't care. I don't care about, oh, it helped us catch a reckless driver. It helped us do this because for that innocent person,

That got to go through something because this system got it wrong or they're selling our information We don't know where it's going. We don't know what other parties are getting access to it MPD is dead wrong for this Jeff y'all wrong man. Y'all wrong Y'all dead wrong for this

And we need to let the Milwaukee Police Department know via phone calls, do whatever you want to do by the letter, but we need to let them know y'all wrong for this. Everybody else is paying attention to the data and looking at the mistakes that have been made. So whatever.

Adjustment y'all gonna make in terms of internal use. I'm talking about the external impact and yep, I Like that, you know, hey, we got some tools to help us with reckless drivers We got this but you still got to outweigh the you know the good versus the bad and You still got to talk because let it be your wife

your son, your daughter, that's misidentified by a flock camera and sitting gym. This one young man, and I got to go get all the details on his case. He was actually at a sporting event. And the flock cameras brand his, you know, came up with some kind of way and identified him as having committed a crime. And this young man was like, I was, and it was a black man. I'm not, I was not there.

He even had witnesses that said he was not there. The police did not believe the witnesses. They believe the flock camera people. They did not believe the physical human beings who were sitting at the event with the young man. There were witnesses. And then once they finally were able to go back, look at all the video and this child was sat in trouble for months.

They they realized it was a mistake. Then they they try to force him to sign something saying he won't sue the department. Is somebody at the door? Or the window. I thought I heard some knocking. So I'm just saying, Jeff, you all have to figure out chief. Let me be respectful. You all have to figure out some other ways to do what you need to do. But.

It's too many complaints all over this country about flock cameras for y'all to act like y'all don't see them. It's too many. I'm not talking about your internal protocols. I'm talking about how the community is impacted by these cameras. No, no, sir. We we own we own different sides of the aisle on this one. No, sir. Absolutely not. No, sir. No, sir. No, sir. No, sir. No.

No, no, I can only imagine somebody detaining me because the camera said X, Y and Z and then just think about it. What if I was actually at home and I didn't have anybody to vouch for me? That young brother had people that vouch for him because he black people's witnesses don't make no difference to the system. We can have 10 people set up and say he was at the party. It don't make no difference.

What if he hadn't been anywhere but at the house and nobody could vouch for him? That boy would be in jail right now getting ready to get charged with some major crime. No, I mean, but but it's just your phone. You could have left your phone at home when you were to go do your dirt. Yeah, but unless I was on it. Yeah, it was on it and they can and they can try. But do you know how many times my my phone is sitting in the house and I'm not I'm not on it.

You know, I was on two days and I touched my phone. Yeah, that's that's just like that that lady That they see I think she was in jail for some months for a homicide or something like that and she didn't even do it Yeah, but the flock camera her truck In the system matched somebody else's truck exactly just like exactly and they came and got her and this woman like I said the one woman this just happened

September 28th and they were talking about that woman spent 13 days in jail. 13 days in jail after the camera. Let me just bring it up real quick and in here I come to the phone line. But a Florida woman spent 13 days in jail on eight felony charges after a flock safety license plate camera led investigators to her SUV.

This is what she was telling senators Wednesday. This was on September 28th. So she was testified about it. How she was wrongly accused of causing a crash that killed three people. Prosecutors later dropped the case against his 23 year old and charged another driver. But this woman said that she was arrested. This happened back in April. She was arrested in April on charges that included three counts of vehicular homicide.

And this was from a crash that actually happened back in October of 2025. So the crash happens in October 2025. Somehow or another, they now feel like they tie it to her. In April, she gets arrested, she spends 13 days. They said they were looking for a Dodge Durango that was involved in this deadly crash. And one of the cameras recorded her black Durango traveling eastbound.

And so they were like, oh, it must be her and it flags and this woman spent 13 days in jail the judge denied her bond and So you they they impound her car That showed the vehicle did have had no collision damage But they still that they showed the her defense attorney said they presented photographs That the impound lot

in which they said the vehicles show no collision damage. The evidence they're propped in other folks in the assistant in the state, the state attorney's office to get, you know, request help and a reconstruction team to figure out how a vehicle could have no damage, but struck another vehicle. And this woman goes through a whole nightmare. So just imagine that you are innocent. You get arrested. You're spending, you know, you like.

Can I get out they won't even post bond for you allow you to post I'm sorry allow you to post bond to get out because you've supposedly killed three people That girl is only that young woman was only 23 years old Going through all of this at the time. I think she was 20. Yeah, because it happened earlier this year So no, this is not okay. You want to say something? Yeah, that's just like that that black brother. I think he was either in Georgia or North Carolina and

Flock cameras messed up. They came and got him locked him up. He lost his job He lost his apartment. He lost all of this stuff and after they found out that it wasn't him They said sorry And that's it and he was lucky to get a sorry because some of them are doing nothing So you've caused all this damage financial damage emotional damage psychological. I mean

You've got yeah, so what happened to everything that was in my apartment everything that I own my vehicle all of this stuff is gone and Nobody in the police like oh well too sad so sad. We looked at what flock said. That's bullcrap. Yeah, no Jeff. I mean I'm chief y'all wrong y'all wrong and this is the The ears don't always justify the means man

Y'all wrong for this we got callers. Let me go to the phone line. Hey caller. What's happening? Hello Yes, yes You know the flat partner You shouldn't be no question. They should never even been accepted in our community Anytime surveillance is on the whole round world. We've got the question that I don't you know, and there's seven of these ideas

About safety and about how convenient it is to bust the bad guy But at the same time we giving up our liberties, you know The camera has turned out to be one of the worst Enemies to man along with this telephone. We started out as what a luxury item but now though, I mean they're everywhere, you know, and you were saying something about the bribery

of the Trump administration, but we have to really have something. Every honest and fair, he's a pretty fair person. Let's look at what they did down in the Senate race was running. When Joe Biden backed up the senator down in one of them states, I forget what state it was, but he offered what? What was it? $2,000 check credit or something like that? I can't actually recall it, but I can remember it.

because I looked at it as the same thing that we're looking at this Trump administration. It looks like some kind of pandering towards, you know, towards a vote. So all of them do it. Let's be realistic. Even if you look at Kamala Harris, she promised so much stuff, you know? So, I mean... She promised people...

Money to be able to buy a house $25,000 to go towards buying a home Yeah, but she was talking about stuff that was real stuff not I'm gonna just randomly give you $5,000 if you return Republicans back to office It's a difference It's a difference Say what? Yeah, Joe Biden did Joe Biden did what?

So that for that Senate raise it down. Okay. Okay. But anyway, listen, I ain't worried about that. We got bigger fish to fry man. We got we got people that are still in our civil liberty under the name of justice. And I want to ask the question why every time you say

people, black people, and people. I know we've had this argument. Go ahead. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Why? I don't see what they're struggling at. I don't see the last one got killed in this city was that I said later, whatever he was over there, then police parties. I mean, he was, I mean, if we were listening, we always including other people and these other people don't have our interests at heart. And as a matter of fact, there's a beneficiary of everything that you and I

grandparents and parents before then and before then I struggle to get I don't I don't understand why we I think it's because we don't want to say racist so we'll include no that's not it that's not it that's not it why would you say because I understand I understand that if one person is mistreated everybody has the ability to be mistreated and this is the thing you don't have to love me

or like me, for me to advocate for what's right across the board. Period. And it's frequently people of color, and it is frequently people of color who are usually on the negative end in equity and treatment in the social justice system or in the criminal justice system. It's always people of color. Now, whether they're silly and they vote for their oppressor, that's on them.

But right is right and wrong is wrong. I don't care if you're too dumb to know you being abused Right is right and wrong is wrong. That's why a whole bunch of them getting ready to flip and come back to Republic I mean to the Democratic Party side because they realize you got played But listen, that's what the voting process is for is for if you're not achieving what you mean Why would I only advocate for something that only helps me?

What do you mean? That's what I say. It's a simple question. But it's not just for you. It's a collective of people that think the same way and that are designed the same way. That was my question. Why would I only advocate for something that only helps black people? Why would I do that? I'm no better than the rest of them. You sound like Kamala Harris. I sound like somebody who is about fairness across the board. That's what I sound like.

All right, okay. In a perfect way, I guess that would work. One more thing quickly. Now, Bonnie Sanders is an old gray devil that just needs to get away from that White House because he's pushing this thing in the young youth. I just, I mean, I just magnetized to it and going to it, this ideology. And then we got these people that are in this country now that have, they own on cool cities right now.

This is Islamic movement, these anchor babies that have been to school here, but they're part of the DACA program, a lot of them as well. But I don't know about the DACA program. They're not. Yeah, fix clean it up. They're not. Let me stand corrected. Let me stand corrected because the people that are running for these offices had to be born in this country. All right. But at the same time, these are DACA children that are now in our school systems. But I guess what?

They learn how to play the game. They not being as smooth as the Mexicans. They learn how to play the game in a couple of other different countries. And that's to get into Congress seats.

Once you get in there, then you change the marriage if you change the laws. And guess what you do in that branch of government, you make things the way you want it to be. Isn't that what everybody does? Isn't that what we advocate for black people? Get in so you can help impact change and affect change in your community. These people pay taxes with the same concept that you need. I gotta go, bro.

You know what? I gotta let other people come in here and dialogue with him. I'm not you living in my mind yesterday. You know what? I appreciate it. Hold on. You know what I said? I said what's wrong with us? I know what it is. She despised guys like me because she wasn't able to come out. Despise?

I despise guys like you because what? Because what? Yeah, you weren't able to come outside and play with us, so you are angry with us. Well, you're right. I wasn't playing on Prostitution Road, so I wouldn't be able to kick you with you. You're right. You're right. My mother didn't allow me to play on Prostitution Road and draw King Alley. You are so right, Meach. I wasn't able to play with y'all.

Because I was busy. I was busy being in class. I was busy being in debate. I was busy being, you know, Miss Jones Valley High School. I was busy being the editor of the yearbook. So I couldn't complain to y'all because I was busy. Well, you know what?

Here we are today. Believe that she was a player. Here we are today. I know. I know. I know. I know. I appreciate you. I appreciate you because you're the only real player in Milwaukee is you. I appreciate it. Thank you, bro. Uh, you know, dude, just look, just see this will happen when y'all mamas don't stay home and take care of your children.

Give your children the attention and daddies. Let me put on everybody. Give your children the attention that they need so they don't have to seek it in the streets. That's how these kids end up in gangs and prostitutes and drugs because they they're seeking attention from people in the streets. Mitch called here looking for attention. Every time he called. That's what he looking for. But if you mamas and daddies did your job, I would have to be bothered.

What's your job? This is what you're looking at me for. What? You want me to shake it up? You're shaking his head. All of that is attention seeking. You just, you couldn't play with us. That's the problem. Play with who? Play with who? Negro. Okay.

Oh my god. Oh my god. I just cannot. What man? What you wrote? What? Somebody said that prostitution wrote. Yeah. So you just couldn't play with us. Yeah, I'm right. My mom had rules and regulations. Oh my god. What?

I got a phone call. Let's go to the phone line. Hey, Caller was happy. Hello. See, now did all of that. Hello. Hey, Caller was happy. Yes. Good morning. Now if I'm not mistaken.

None of Trump wise was American. So wouldn't some of his kids be anchor babies as well? And the last time I think but because his because Because he was like it's usually you're an anchor baby when neither of your parents are American citizens That's usually how it's described but go ahead Okay, and then I know we keep talking about the Mexicans the Mexicans are not touching on kids

They're not my less than animals. They're not performing school shootings. That's our in-house from white people. You don't see no three-year-old Mexican boy walking around with an AR-15 and a clock with an extended clip. And furthermore, racism has not benefited no blacks. I just don't understand why anybody blacks.

was picked up for a racist white man who don't care if you were sitting in a toilet of Duke Union piss. That's my only thing. I think it's some self-hatred. And I think a lot of times when people vote that way, it's probably because they didn't have enough to make the cut. Have a great day. All right. Thank you, Brian. Appreciate it. Yeah, he didn't go as hard as he could have with.

I'm just gonna say, I got another call. Hey, Carly, what's happening? Good morning. Good morning. I'm gonna give you a plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus,

Well, he go by his own name. And the next time you talk to him, and I almost have a dialogue, ask him how much the public is his fan. And you're doing a good job. Very proud of you. Thank you, sir. I appreciate it. Thank you. You have a good one. All right, you too.

Somebody just sent me something to my all the Russians coming over here with eight anchor babies You know coming over here pregnant so they can have a baby in the United States Wealthy Russians are having babies in the US for passports Yeah, yeah, and They got a look here with a hat on they say babies for Trump

And this was written back in 2017. Every month, dozens of babies are born in Florida to wealthy Russian families. According to a story in The Daily Beast, the families move in for a few months, have their babies, then make sure their newborns get US citizenship. Birth tourism, companies, sale packages that cost tens of thousands of dollars and often steal their clients to Donald Trump branded properties. So think about that.

They come in and they stay in at Trump properties to have their anchor babies We're talking about wealthy Russians who can afford to take anywhere from three to six months to come Hang out on Florida beaches rent an apartment pay out a pocket for top tier medical care and have their babies here Just think about that The irony is that on the campaign trail Trump talks about these anchor babies

The meaning name for children born to a non-citizen mother in a country to gain new citizenship for the child And yet according to the daily beast the Trump Organization has apparently been profiting from very wealthy Russians doing just that this goes back to 2017 Talk out both sides of your neck. Let me go to the phone line. Hey caller. What's happening? I'm trying to hang in there. How you doing today?

Do you recognize his voice? Do I recognize the voice? What is behind is behind. Oh, I should have known. But anyway, I'm having a moment where, you know, there's voting coming up. And I really don't want to, you know, I vote when we did the primaries, I voted for Francesca Hong. I really don't want to vote for David.

because, you know, he dropped out the election and came back. I just feel there's something more behind that. But why are you doing normal Texas in the morning? Do I have to ask you to come up and hang out and stuff? So let me just ask a question. So if you don't vote for DC, are you going to vote at all? Yeah, well, yeah, I'm going to vote because I want to vote no to those referendums. So you just wouldn't vote in the governor's race.

I really don't want to, but a friend of mine said, if I don't vote for David, then this is a vote for time. So it's like I got to hold my nose and, you know, you know, but you know, I've been voting though, you know, I've been voting. You have come a long way because when we first started, you wouldn't vote. So we have you have a presidential election is baby steps with you. And I'm glad to see the progress and I'm glad to hear you say for sure you own the referendums. You know, I think at this point, you definitely got to look at the policies of the two.

Um, because outside of, you know, DC getting in the race, getting out the race, getting in the race. How have you felt about the way he's led Milwaukee County? Yeah, and I'm so tired of Chevy now I'm trying to accommodate about the way about property. Don't switch to Chevy. Four seconds. Stay on DC. How do you feel he has done managing Milwaukee County? I don't really know to be honest with you because I mean,

I'm like, Milwaukee County, I know they did that, uh, that referendum, like we had another sales tax and all that. But so far as that though, you know what I'm saying? Like I really don't, it's not affecting me the extra few cents. But you know, if he's on board with Milwaukee County, our property tax is going up, then I don't agree with that. You know what I'm saying? Because it affects me as being a homeowner. Um, so do you understand the work that the county does?

You know what the county does? No, that's another branch of government that, you know, I kind of knew a bit more about it when Chris Abley was up in there, but when David Crowley came up and they kind of like, you know, besides that big thing that they had when they won back and forward, Robin lost them. And then I guess Chevy lost. And then in Milwaukee County, I guess he did raise up on the taxes like that, you know what I'm saying? But no, not really, though. So.

I'm just gonna say this. And first of all, I honestly appreciate the conversation.

the ability to kind of talk through some things and your honesty when you're talking about what you know, what you don't know, what you understand, you know, what doesn't happen. I got to take a break, but I want you to listen for a second after I come back from the break and I'm going to walk through some things about. Boy, get off the phone.

You okay because it was a whole bunch of sighing and carrying on over there this morning, you know heavy I'm just saying it was a whole bunch of that it is funny though

You start getting odor. You open the garbage can, lead, and be like... You get a fork out the drawer. And there's no reason that you should be making these sounds. I mean, I get...

been it over time you would shoot that might be a little little cumbersome but the rest of it is like and you made fun of your parents and grandparents and you're doing the same thing. Somebody took the building fund.

All right, family, welcome back to the show. So I again want to say I appreciate the caller, even though, you know, folks just can't act right to the very end. But the brother who called in to say he had reservations about voting for Milwaukee County Executive David Crawley because he was not a fan of the flip flop getting in the race, then getting out of the race, then getting back in the race. And so I.

you know, and that was a question and concern that was raised by a lot of people. But also, can you close that door so I can hear myself? So I also, though, want to say that I appreciate his candor and his honesty when I said, do you know the function of Milwaukee County government? Not really kind of not sure. Do you know, you know,

anything about David's work record while he has been in office. And again, everybody want to admit what they want. They don't know. So I respect that. Let me just say this. So David gets elected to Milwaukee County Executive in 2020. OK, somewhere around there. And if I remember this right, you're coming in as we are grappling with the impact of COVID-19.

Everything is chaotic and in shambles. David comes in as the youngest and the first African American to be elected to be county executive. In the city, I'm sorry, in the state of Wisconsin, in Milwaukee. I remember when David was going to run for county executive, he called me and said, can I get your.

And he said, why? I said, because you had not managed enough of a budget as a state representative. And then your other work for me to see you managing a one plus billion dollar budget.

that I hadn't seen, you know, your supervisory skills. There were a whole bunch of things that made me say, no, I don't feel comfortable within endorsement or support. Okay. As things go on, he and Chris Larson emerged as the two people that are going to be the finalists for this role. And because I'm not a fan of some of the things that I've seen Chris Larson do.

I support David. I support him. With my money and I support him, you know, with my time in terms of talking to other people about, look, we're going to have to elect somebody. At least I know he's a decent brother and he won't intentionally try to harm somebody or mess over them because he disagrees with them politically.

I couldn't say that about Chris Larson. So DC steps into this role during a crisis time in this state, in his nation, quite frankly. And yep, he got people around him, supporters and actors that can help kind of navigate and explain and he can figure out things. He had been a state legislator. He had worked for a state legislator before that.

So he has people to kind of, you know, bounce stuff off of and slowly but surely this young brother rises to the task. OK. He is known as being fair. He is known as being somebody that's willing to listen. He is known as being somebody that has had and created a diverse cabinet. 50 percent, probably women are in his cabinet.

He goes from no experience in terms of managing a budget like this to getting reelected with 85% of the vote And now you got that up under your belt 1.6 billion dollar budget or something like that. I think it's Milwaukee County But you got to figure out Revenue sharing because the county the city we in trouble and he works to get that done and some of it is not popular for sure

But because it acts well, I wasn't a fan of all of the nuance, but. Milwaukee County. Is able to raise new record, Barack Obama dressed the pension disaster, the challenges that continue to happen because of that. He did deliver the largest property tax levy reduction. Reduction in county history. Because they had a projected

surplus. He was able to close budget deficits without major cuts to services and the county deals with the human side of life. So mental health and, you know, the Department of Aging and the park systems, all those things that make life quality is what the county deals with. And he's able to figure out how to do that without making

any real major service cuts in the process. Again, this is the youngest cat to ever had his job. You come in during a major crisis situation because of the Biden administration and money that's coming in for infrastructure and to deal with housing. You commit $47 million towards creating affordable housing developments. I wasn't happy with where all of them went, but you know, people want to break into the suburbs. Y'all go ahead.

Let a Bateman, seven million trying to deal with that. Invested money in mental health services. He's been on this show and talked repeatedly about trying to deal with mental health services, the work that's been done around opioid response initiatives, making sure that, you know, Narcan was available, fitness strips were available. How do we do that? And then the one thing that happens every single month in this studio,

The Office of Equity rolls through here. They introduce us to all the different program managers, leadership, program information that we know nothing about. And when everybody else has had to run from the term equity, has had to rebrand, regroup, repackage what they do around communities of color, that name has yet to change. And every time they come, I always say, I'm waiting on when the name change.

but they have fought and held on for as long as they can to make sure that the Office of Equity and the work that they focus on has stayed intact. Infrastructure money, $38 million is what this brother was able to secure to help fund highway patrol services, which was an unfunded mandate by the State of Wisconsin. There are other things that I can highlight. I will do this real quick.

David was named the 2024 public official of the year by governing this organization, governing magazine. And since we've been on the air, a major announcement has just dropped. Hi, this is Barack Obama. I've known a lot of leaders, but I haven't known many like David Crowley. David's life story is about overcoming adversity and his life's work.

is about bringing people together. Like me, David started out as a community organizer, and he happens to be a girl dad too. David and his wife Erika are raising three daughters in public schools. As the leader of Wisconsin's largest county, he created jobs and balanced the budget. And as governor, David will fight to make Wisconsin more affordable so that you're paying less at the pump, at the doctor's office, and less at the end of the month.

There is nobody better to lead Wisconsin forward. So vote David Crawley for governor. Barack Obama just dropped that endorsement this morning while we've been on the air of Milwaukee County Executive David Crawley to be the next governor of Wisconsin. Real quickly, someone said,

This is an emotional testimony, Mother Brian. You're going to be calling me no damn Mother Brian. Mother Bryant. You also have made the argument to not vote for him. What about Milwaukee County Transit, elderly care and parks all failing? I'll address that on the other side. Be right back.

took the building fund. But who? Get ready for the hilarious new gospel comedy stage play. Lord, who took the building fund? Seven people, one church, one missing building fund, and everybody's a suspect. Mr. C.L. Productions presents an evening full of laughter, mystery, faith, and surprises. Saturday, October 24th at 6 p.m. at Destiny Auditorium, 76th and Good Hope Road. Tickets are available

at event right dot com or call 800 975 4011. Lord took the building fund back to the show. So, um, I talked about a comment that was in the chat section. Um, that said that, you know, while I had talked about what he had been able to do, I also could be making the case against him. Being governor because of and I'm

We can find that comment, but I think it had something to do with elderly care. The parks and it was it was three things. Oh, and Milwaukee County Transit. And let me just say this and I'm going to say it again. Number one, DC comes in in the midst of covid when everything is getting ready to shut down and we are trying to stop the hemorrhaging of black life being lost and connected.

in connection to COVID-19. All of those systems that you identify were in trouble before he ever walked in the door. So in addition to a park infrastructure that maintenance is, you know, at some point, I think they said we have reached almost $500 million in infrastructure needs because revenues generated to maintain all of this stuff has stayed stagnant.

The state limits how these entities, these municipalities can raise revenue and raise dollars. You don't just get to be creative and go out here and say, let's do this, let's do this, because the state is managing all that. You also need to appreciate that unlike the city of Milwaukee, the county is an extension of the state.

So David has different hoops that he has to jump through or whoever is the county executive has different hoops that they have to jump through that the city is not always constrained by but Go and look at the Clinton Rose Center and see the renovations that are being done in a lot of these senior cities senior centers, but We're seeing community advocates did a report in which they said more and more elderly people are becoming homeless now

But those are not things that have been created by the county. That's because of the different systems that we have in this country that are failing people. There is plenty of blame to go around. But if we're going to try to judge people fairly on what it is they do, what they can do, what they can't do, we got to first of all understand how all of this works.

A whole bunch of people didn't know that the county was an extension or a arm of the state. And a lot of us found that out when the Republicans in the state legislature wanted 56 failing schools in the Milwaukee public school district to be taken over. And they first went to the city and tried to get Tom Barrett to take over these failing schools. Tom Barrett said no.

Then the state went to the county and they told the county executive, we want you to take over some of these schools. The county executive, because they are an extension of the state where they could not tell the state, no, get out my face, go away. They had to do what the state asked them to do. And that's when Chris Abley says, we'll do one school. We're not going to do 56, you know, and they gave him the option.

pick the number of schools you want to deal with. So, you know, when somebody says, and this is the same person's, you know, because I see the argument going back and forth and, you know, don't try to tell me I went to college. Going to college don't mean you understand all the nuance about how state functions, how government functions. It doesn't mean that.

I sit around college educated people all day long and they can't tell you a lot of stuff. I can tell you because I worked in those industries and in some of those and was in some of those rooms. But even, you know, of course, I don't know everything. But you don't get to negate all that this young brother was facing when he walks through the door. In addition to learning on the job and getting all this other stuff working. You don't get to do that.

And it's easy to sit up and be like, you didn't change this and you didn't change that. All of this takes a whole team. The county was having problems way before David quality ever showed up. And they're going to have problems after David quality leaves. Because until we get budgets that keep up with inflation, until we get state government leaders and federal leaders who understand the value of investing for real money that.

that Biden put in, Trump has rescinded and taken away, you're going to continue to have some of these issues and these struggles. But I'm not throwing out the baby with the bathwater. I can't afford to do that. And the difference, somebody literally texts me and said, well, Michelle, what was the difference? You know, you support David, but you didn't support Mandela because I understand David's heart. I don't always agree with everything they would do.

And David ain't perfect and David don't make, you know, my life necessarily better. In terms of like, you know, that's my, my guy, my boy, but I understand David's heart. His heart is in the right place. I couldn't tell you that about Mandela. Mandela was out for Mandela. DC has not been out for DC.

DC thinking about their wife, he thinking about them kids, he thinking about this community, the jobs that he has had. That's the kind of stuff that I see for DC. I didn't get that feeling from Mandela. And if any of y'all telling me you got it, you're gonna have to put me up on gang. Mandela, and where's Mandela now to help try to help get this brother elected? Where he at? Where he at?

Since you care about the state, you care, you know, you want to be the senator, you want to be the governor, I don't stop caring about the state because I'm not the guy. Where are you at? Has he been out stopping for DC? Because I've missed it. Yeah, don't tell me I'm crazy because I know what I'll be talking about. I gotta get ready to go. So y'all have a great weekend. Be safe. Understand over on Saturday and

the Greater Life Community Center from noon to 2 p.m. You can get a free hot lunch and a supply of toiletries. This is at 2432 North Daytona Avenue. The building is just north of the Greater Galilee Missionary Baptist Church. And again, this is while supplies last, but if you know somebody that can benefit, you see somebody out here. Hey fam, gone over here by Greater Galilee next door to them and get you something to eat. All right y'all, peace.
