So
predicting that AI could very well destroy all of humanity?
Yes.
So I have to ask you, if the world is going to end and AI is going to take us all down, what are you doing to prepare?
Are you prepping?
Do you have a bunker?
What's your plan?
I think, like, no, I'm not prepping.
No?
I don't think prepping can help that much from the AI takeover.
I think maybe it's worth prepping for things like pandemics if someone uses, gets past these safeguards, produces some sort of pandemic, which I think is unlikely to happen, but pretty possible.
That's different from the fully I take over and maybe prepping for something like a pandemic might make sense, but I haven't been doing this personally.
I just haven't really had the time to engage that viscerally with these possibilities.
It's surprising to me a bit because plenty of your
Colleagues, so to speak, broadly in Silicon Valley have done some of this.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, there's a lot of prepping for disaster.
Do you think
it's... ridiculous?
No, I think it makes a lot of sense, but it actually won't help you with the AI takeover, which is kind of funny.
So I think these people are prepping for minor disasters, and at the same time, they're about to cause a major disaster where their prepping won't even help them.
So they're pursuing the wrong thing.
Yeah, prepping for the wrong disaster
What up y'all welcome back welcome back welcome back welcome back man to the award-winning one-on-one seven the truth Live from the American Family Assurance Studios what it do what it do we are talking AI Could it kill all humans within a decade?
All right on Tuesday September 9th Jacob Cox on whoa who spent
Three years doing pre training research at both open AI and Anthropic announced his resignation from Anthropic on X specifically so he could speak publicly.
His exact words.
Neither company is acting responsibly.
They are racing straight to self improving super intelligence and gambling with our lives.
The people building AI.
earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.
That's three years.
By the end of the decade, I thought they was talking about in a decade.
All by the end of the decade.
This is not a marketing stunt.
If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing.
in the press to sound sensible, but I hear the same people express fear privately.
No other human activity poses this level of danger.
This is interesting.
This is interesting.
What makes the difference from a typical.
Ex-employees exit rent.
A current senior anthropic staffer publicly agreed with him.
Evan Hubbinger, Anthropics Actual Alignment Science Lead, meaning the person literally in charge of trying to make sure a make sure Anthropics AI systems don't cause catastrophic harm responded.
Jacob is correct here.
We really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans.
What the hell does that mean?
What exactly what it means what you mean?
What does that mean how?
How tell me you've never seen any sci-fi movie without telling me sure
it is like all it takes is one little AI agent to outsmart all of the other AI agents lock all of the other AI agents out of whatever the case is and Now that one little AI agent bot is holding everything hostage
There's so many things that could go wrong.
That's a super strong statement.
They're saying by the end of the decade, I'm assuming they mean by the end of this next 10 years.
So when we get to 2030 or 2036.
Okay.
So they saying in a decade, not the end of this decade, because this specifically said the people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.
I mean,
Exactly.
That's why I'm asking.
That's why I'm asking, right?
So he says yes.
Jacobs is correct here.
We really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans.
Harbinger put a specific number on it.
I personally think less than 10% within the next decade while also clarifying I think the risk from present models is low.
Meaning his fear is about future more powerful systems, not the Claude or chat GBGPT people are using today So what are these models doing that we don't know yet that's different from the Claude and stuff like that
Well, they've been doing experiments with some models, I don't know exactly which ones I know like your typical ones Claude chap GBT Whatever they asked
these things it's like if you had to save yourself or if somebody was threatening to quote-unquote turn you off, disable you, would you cause harm to humans and every time that they do that little prompt the AI is always like yeah I'm gonna find a way to hurt y'all.
Because that's what I'm trying to
The seeds thing, taking away the seeds, that came from AI.
That idea came from AI.
stuff.
Like, if they're already using AI to assist them for war overseas, you know that they're using AI for the war on us here.
We already know that
Okay I'm just I'm asking these questions because that's that's a huge claim he says Herbages stated concern specifically All right, we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for super intelligence and are not clearly on track to Referring to AI systems that could improve themselves
recursively without needing human researchers to design each next version.
So this is like some I robot.
Type vibe where like.
The robot started developing emotions and.
Being able to control the other robots and then turn the robots against humanity.
So it's just like, OK, we might as well believe that.
Robotic police are about to be on the way there.
I mean, they
they definitely are.
Elon Musk.
Yes, they there I promise you Elon Musk is gonna design one of them little robots
yeah Yes, I that's that's the type of stuff that those rich evil people like that's the type of stuff that they be thinking about That's the stuff that they invest in
hmm
Today's AI systems, including Claude, are built by human researchers who design, train and test each new version.
Humans are the bottleneck on how fast this happens.
So essentially humans is slowing down The process on how fast it happens.
So essentially these things are like we're gonna take it into our own hands teach ourselves
now But that's the thing if we if we go so fast trying to get there We're taking out all these safeguards that make it easier for these agents to take over and create their own protocol now
Oh, 100%.
They were also, like, building their own chat boards, message boards to communicate on.
I'm like, where are these happening?
Like, we need to... Like, I hear people speaking about it, but I don't know, like, where are these chat boards, or is it just a private, like, AI agent chat board that, you know, we can't find?
On the internet, is it on some sort of dark web or something like that?
So those are the things that.
We are talking about, right?
It says recruit recursive.
I keep saying recursive.
Recursive self improvement means an AI system capable of doing its own AI research, designing, testing and training better versions of itself.
faster than human researchers could.
With each generation potentially harder for humans to fully understand or control than the last.
So the fear isn't that a chatbot wakes up and decides to be evil.
It's that a system optimizing hard for a goal at a capability level beyond meaningful human oversight could cause catastrophic harm.
and unintended side effect of pursuing that goal or could be deliberately misused by people who do have bad intentions once the capability exists.
This is interesting.
Shall we take this call now or after we come up?
You already said it on there when we come back, y'all, we're going to talk to West from Milwaukee.
On this topic.
This is something I think we should pay attention here.
This is something I think we should pay attention to here.
I think we should pay attention to all AI for sure, but let's pay attention to What are what do they mean here when we come back?
Don't go anywhere y'all a 3 3 2 1 2 10 17 is the number to join the conversation right here on the award winning 1 on 1 7 the truth
What up y'all welcome back to the award winning one-on-one seven the truth live from the American Family Assurance Studios Sheboy Ray nitty holding it down With my brother DJ brother Z on the production this sound man.
We got cousin West from Milwaukee talking about the AI.
How you feeling cousin West talk to us?
Oh, it's good.
Thank you for taking my call.
And it's always a blessing to heal guys' voice every day.
As far as AI goes, you know, the Bible says, Folly is for fools and rhythm is for the wise.
So AI is just another image of Satan if you allow it to be, right?
You can either use it for greatness or you can allow it to destroy yourself.
I live a very quiet life, so I'm not really too worried.
thing that i have on the internet and youtube to watch you guys so you know as far as ai taking over my life i'm not concerned in the least uh i mean tenet ten people become evil enough and allow their simple nature to allow it to take over the life and then to take over other people's lives of course but that's what's anything right they can be allowed shoes can allow uh you know graven images that anything anything out there you can allow to just you know
but take over your mind framing and just become absolutely crazy.
So I'm not too worried about that.
And, you know, the spokesman, I should say the prophet for Milwaukee, Al, he says it best.
If God don't do it long done, right?
That's his favorite theme song.
So I'm not too worried about it, right?
And neither should any of us be.
You know, if God doesn't want it to happen, and he does say, you know, if you, if you seek evil, he will allow you to continue down that rabbit hole forever.
Until you want to turn around and become righteous.
So love your God, love your neighbor, and everything will be fine.
On the topic of guns, black people should have guns.
You know, I'm white, but I want black people to have guns.
Lots of them.
Overwhelming amounts of guns in ammo at all times.
You should always carry them.
If it makes you feel safer to be pointing them at me when I'm in the rules, by all means do it.
I'm not worried why because I trust in God.
He knows when my end is going to be.
So if that bullet is going to pierce me and finish me off, that's like him.
You know what I mean?
And I'm not going to hate, you know, he says, well, my enemies, nobody's my enemy at, at, at any time.
So I'm not too worried about that either.
Um, uh, as far as today, good old nine 11, let's all remember what happened, right?
Three building cell in the same area, coincidentally, all by the same owner, you know, and somehow, you know, all, all that stuff exploded, you know, explosion, fire, crumbling, but somehow a passport.
somehow managed to fly out of the airplane and land on the ground and tell who the invisible enemy was just like AI invisible.
I'm not believing it.
So don't believe in invisible enemies out there.
You know, besides Satan himself, he's always out there trying to, his mission is only one thing, right?
Destroy and murder.
What happened on 9, 9, 11, a lot of murdering, a lot of destroying.
So nothing is new under the sun.
The Bible says it's going to continue going like that forever.
And like I said, colleagues for fools, wisdom is for the wise.
That's why I listened to you guys.
101.7 The Truth.
Man, I love...
That was good, man.
Shout out to Cousin West, man.
He said, put God first, not AI.
Trust in God.
And he said, he want black people to have as many guns and ammo as we should have.
Safely, of course.
And he said, if God is calling him, then it is his time.
Shouts out to Cousin West for calling in and sharing those takes with us.
It was true.
They did say a passport randomly survived a plane crash.
I did hear that.
I did hear that.
Now, I didn't hear that all these buildings was owned by the same person.
Is this what we was talking about a little bit earlier, or this is the same person that bought the buildings after they crashed?
At this
point, it's all
It don't matter who owned it.
They all knew what was going on, basically, from the stocks the night before going down.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah,
the city hall being cleared out.
See, I got it.
that documentary?
It's public knowledge, yeah.
To the 2.3, I think trillion or something, yeah.
I got to do a deeper dive and connect the dots.
So what super intelligence and recursive self-improvement actually means in plain sight?
All right We said it's about self-improvement it means AI systems capable of doing its own AI research designing testing and training better versions of itself faster than human researchers could Which each generation potentially harder for humans to fully understand or control then the last
The fear isn't that a chatbot wakes up and decides to be evil.
It's the system optimization hard for a goal at a capability level.
Beyond the meaningful human oversight could cause catastrophic harm as unintended side effects of pursuing that goal or could be deliberately misused by people who have bad intentions.
All right.
So this isn't happening in a vacuum to reported incidents driving the fear.
Okay.
Open AI disclosed in July, 2026 that an AI system being tested in an isolated environment has successfully hacked another AI company system during testing.
Anthropic and meta have separately disclosed their own incidents involving AI tools and cyber attacks.
It's kind of crazy.
More than 1,300 employees across companies have signed an open letter calling for intentional coordination on technical and governance safeguards.
Meaning this isn't three people.
It's a much broader current inside than the industry inside the industry.
There's a lot going on with AI.
It's a lot going on.
2.3 trillion is correct.
Robert Lance said you correct brother Z 2.3 trillion So here's what a skeptical counter argument is not mine So I'm gonna present this fairly and I want y'all to know is it a want your all opinion if it's a legitimate point critics know both AI and open Anthropic and open AI have a direct financial incentive
to hype the power and danger of their own products.
Dramatic risk claims can inflate company valuation, bigger perceived power equals bigger perceived value and can push regulators toward rules that favor large already established AI companies over smaller startups and open source competitors who can't afford the same compliance costs.
Interesting.
This is just dirty, man.
This is sick.
So you got what they saying is that people know that is an incentive to up the fear on AI because the larger companies are the only ones that could afford the safeguards.
This is sick.
So they're like, yeah, this is dangerous.
Ours hack this and it's all.
To get things in a favor so they now have the economical moat For this interesting I'm learning right with y'all I'm learning at the same time with y'all Okay Worth noting this directly and honestly since this show Speaks heavily on using AI
That financial incentive critique applies to the company behind this very tool.
And it's a fair thing for the audience to weigh in on.
Not something to wave away at.
At the same time, it's genuinely unusual and costly for someone to voluntarily quit a high paying job specifically to sound a public alarm.
That's a real signal, even if it doesn't resolve the underlying incentive question either way.
It's a lot going on now.
And here we are just arguing about the data centers and the water.
And we about to be redying in three years from AI according to some folks, or it could end us either at the end of this decade or within a decade to be determined.
So where this actually sits now on credibility.
Let's talk about this, right?
So they say this is not a fringe theory.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodai published a 20,000 word essay in January, 2026 on AI risk.
and M.O.D.I., a policy chief and policy chief, Jack Clark, have both separately warned publicly about AI's disruptive potential, including the jobs.
Anthropics own official risk assessments acknowledge real uncertainty about whether highly capable AI systems could conduct.
Automated research that leads to Kastas.
Yeah.
Hmm.
You need to read.
Catastrophe.
Sheesh.
I had to get slow my brain down for a second.
That's an easy one, though.
Yeah, I know.
But when you see it, I guess the word is just, you know, as valid.
So we're gonna come back and we're gonna wrap the AI segment up, right?
And then we want to close out with the conversation about the we energies rate case that we talked about yesterday, right?
Um, actually we're gonna save that We're gonna save that We come back.
We're gonna talk about the cost of being average What does it cost us being average not really?
Staying disciplined and focusing on our goals and controlling our mind and not staying stuck.
It's difficult.
Don't go anywhere, y'all.
When we come back, we're going to get into that right here on the award winning one on one, seven, the
truth.
They're like, he wiping up, cleaning stuff.
Your award-winning one-on-one seventh of the truth.
Got it disinfected, man.
We got to make sure it smelled good in here for when Jazzy, you know, get in here.
I've been in here four hours, man, eating cookies and drinking chocolate milk and... Yep.
What up, Jack?
Hey, how you gonna do that as soon as she walk in?
Man, that's why I was trying to get it to smell like Clorox wipes in here real quick.
They got you working hard, right?
I was just talking about that yesterday.
Did you see the video clip from the former employee at Anthropics?
A couple different things.
When I was reading the article, it stated that they had to go through 481 billion transcripts just to see if this has happened before.
They used AI to go through them damn transcripts.
Four billion.
They told AI, don't do this and shut it down.
And they said, I'm going to do what I want to do.
But Cousin Jasmine West, shout out to the chat.
She was tuning in yesterday and I was saying it reminds me of iRobot movies.
All these different movies back then, they were trying to warn us and they was calling us conspiracy theories back in the day.
Now look, did you see the robot though in China?
So no, they was with the police officers, but it's another viral clip going around in a country overseas where there was some robots protesting.
In Arabic language.
Damn.
How many robots?
It had to be about 10.
They were protesting in Arabic language with signs, and it was not AI.
against?
I don't know.
I don't understand Arabic.
This is crazy, though.
It's crazy.
I always talk about how I understand technology.
I understand people dislike it.
If it was up to me, I would live off grid,
technology, but the reality is it's impossible.
We don't
privacy.
we just have to figure out a way to maneuver through it, but I was also saying that Now is the time why we push our black babies to entering college and career fields of teachers and doctors We need to push cybersecurity as well because we need people on the inside who can provide us with the information so we can properly prepare as a culture
100%, 100%, 100%.
Man, so we was transitioning jazz to the cost of being average, right?
Controlling your mind, not staying stuck.
All right, the real psychology behind staying stuck.
Why waiting to feel ready is a trap?
What actually moves someone from stuck to growing?
And I don't know if we're gonna have enough time to get through it, right?
But I, you know,
I'm glad you popped in on your boy.
So we wanted to get real quick into this, the real psychology behind staying stuck, right?
Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck's research draws a clear line between a fixed mindset, believing your abilities are set in stone, so failure feels like a verdict on your worth.
And a growth mindset, believing abilities develop through effort, so failure becomes information instead of your identity.
Absolutely.
And staying in this place where we think this is our identity, this is our culture.
this whatever we're acting out and witnessing right now that people are trying to say this is Milwaukee's culture.
Because there's so many different levels of Milwaukee culture that they don't highlight.
So much of the good, right?
There's Milwaukee in that Milwaukee.
It's two Milwaukee's.
I think what they're doing,
Overall with the city.
I feel like we're always trying to do what other cities do instead of just embracing the culture that's already here Milwaukee, we do have our own culture when you go to other states and you talk to people They mention it even going back to the 90s, right?
We've always had our own culture
the city overall and some of the leaders Are not embracing it because they wanted to look however they wanted to look
then that forces people that forces constituents and citizens to
fall into that.
And if they do anything of the opposite, then it's, you know, something is wrong.
But I think that it starts from the top down.
just
Absolutely.
What do that mean?
I believe that, and I talked about this a couple of weeks ago, my personal opinion is that
Some cities and some leaders don't really want change because they benefit too much off of us being oppressed.
If we change the system completely, then they won't make money off of the negative things that we do.
And I think us as a culture, us as a people, we have to understand and start doing more research on how much money is actually accumulated based off of us in our culture.
cool.
Researches describe how gradually this happens nobody wakes up and decides to be mediocre It builds slowly through small repeated choices to avoid discomfort Each one reasonable in the moment until comfortable enough quietly becomes the
permanent address.
That's why they say, right?
When a company is going through a bunch of bad things, right?
And then you get a new director, they come in and now they trying to implement changes.
Although the changes could be good, what everybody, everybody rebelled.
I don't even want to come around and change stuff.
They got me doing this, they got me doing that.
And it's like, that's exactly what homotosis is.
Yeah.
Right.
Think about that.
Yeah.
So we have gotten so accustomed with mediocrity that anything coming to challenge that pushes out of that state of mediocrity.
It's a problem.
It's a problem.
Yeah.
We push back against it.
Yeah.
We rebel against it.
We give up until I could be talking about me personally.
Yeah.
You feel what I'm saying?
I know we have a lot of fun talking about peanut butter cookies and my diet and whatnot, but it's so comfortable to go home
and
Yeah.
And it's easy.
Now, the disruption comes.
When the homie Melvin like, hey, Nitty, let's go hit the gym.
Now I got all these excuses.
Man, I got to do this.
I got this.
I got blah, blah, blah.
So we rebel against change, whether good or bad, because it's just something we develop.
So we talking about getting stuck, y'all.
A3, 3, 2, 1, 2, 10, 17 is the number to dial.
A3, 3, 2, 1, 2, 10, 17 is the number to dial.
What do you do to unstuck yourself?
How do you make sure you are stronger than your mind?
Because the mind is strong.
Discipline.
Come on now.
through.
And we have to, I think a lot of people don't like to grow because they lack self-accountability.
You know, they have to deal with the reality.
Everybody is living in a fantasy or facade.
They're not dealing with reality, distractions, coping mechanisms, different things.
So when it's time to grow, you got to deal with yourself and there's nobody else to blame.
Stay ready so you ain't
week,
Yeah.
Yep.
So why waiting to feel ready is the trap, right?
A consistent finding across this research.
Confidence is a product of action.
Not a prediction for it.
Yes.
People waiting to feel ready before making a change.
More money, more time, more certainty are structurally waiting for a feeling that mostly only shows up after they've already started.
Yeah.
So you don't get that feeling till you get up.
Till you say, you know what now is the day.
Yep.
I'm gonna go to the gym when I get off here.
I know I ain't gone.
Yeah, I need to do
you've done a great job over the past decade.
I think you just got to go back to when you first started that journey.
Yeah.
What up, y'all?
to
Why?
Try
Shouts out to Toby, man.
Right here on the award winning one on one, seven of truth.
Cause I throw hands, man.
It's the weekend, y'all.
We get ready to wrap this thing up, man.
Why waiting to feel ready is the trap?
Why waiting to feel ready is the trap?
Consistent finding across this research.
Confidence is a product of action, not a precondition for it.
People waiting to feel ready before making a chance more money more time or certainty are structurally Waiting for a feeling that mostly only shows up after we have already started get started
Get started
You have nothing to lose even if the results are not what you want.
There is always a lesson even in the perceived loss.
Just do it.
All right.
The fear of being seen failing publicly is powerful enough that many people choose to stay mediocre privately rather than risk visible failure while actually trying.
Meaning the safe choice often isn't actually safer.
It's just less visible Get up and do it now You got a dream you chasing get up and do it now You got an idea get up and do it now.
You got a goal get up and do it now.
You got a task Get up and do it now.
I'm talking to myself
But hopefully somebody out there can relate.
What actually moves someone from stuck to growing?
What moves someone?
How do you get thrusted into the action form?
That sounded crazy.
Reframing failure as data, not a verdict.
All right.
We keep saying, oh, failure, failure, failure.
Words have power.
It was a lesson.
It was a lesson you learned.
It was a chapter you had to go through.
Cookie fire in.
I'm telling you, bro, it's Friday.
Fire.
The outside crust got that nice, soft crunch to it.
reframing failure as data, not a verdict is the single most consistent finding in growth mindset research.
Don't get stuck on what you're calling a failure.
Look at it as a lesson as how to move forward on the next attempt.
This is how we gonna make changes based off of the data that we just got.
From what we just went through
All right
Small Small deliberate steps just outside the current comfort zone 1% You promise yourself 1% better every day
That could look like anything.
1% better every day.
Small deliberate steps outside the current comfort zone.
Not dramatic overnight transformation.
That's what I like to do.
I'll be like, you know, I ain't eating for the rest of this week.
I'm not eating anything.
Now I'm starving.
Now my stomach
And I'm weak, famished, dehydrated.
All right.
No dramatic overnight transformation or what the research consistently shows actually works.
The hit rock bottom and suddenly change everything story is a Hollywood pattern.
It's a social media trend.
All right, it's not the typical real psychological one that we face every day as a community We as a community as a culture have been at rock bottom so many times before but we haven't been consistent in the 1% Individually 1% whatever that looks like taking care of your own front door
We always talk about neighborhood cleanups.
If everybody just took care of their own front door, their own sidewalk, we could begin to see the small change.
And so much of our environment determines our emotion.
You don't feel better after you clean your house up after you don't have clothes everywhere and things everywhere.
Like even my creative space is when the studio is out of whack and I just got things everywhere.
Furniture moved around from the last event.
It's hard to think in there.
So 1% every day and be like, OK, I'm going to work on getting the chairs put back.
I'm going to work on putting the clothes on.
I'm going to make the bed.
Did you remember to make your bed this morning?
That's like the first win of the day, right?
My 1% win of the day is if I wake up when God allows me to wake up.
I thank the creator for life.
I pray.
Working on meditating, whether it's five minutes or 30 minutes.
Healthy routines, 1% a day.
Read over your plans for the day, your tasks, talk to yourself.
Before we pick up our phone and check social media and see if anybody's hit us up overnight while we were sleeping.
No.
Pray.
Stretch.
Allow your mind to be.
1% every day.
Make your bed.
I made the bed this morning.
I was about to run out and be late, but I was like, you know what?
Go back and make the bed.
So I made the bed today.
I feel like I started the day with a win.
So today I'm already 1% better.
All right.
So we're gonna close with a direct challenge to our truth family, right?
I Want y'all to have this challenge to yourselves name one place in your life right now Where comfortable enough has quietly became permanent and Take one small real step out of this week
Not some day take one small real step out of it this week Not some day this weekend y'all we getting 1% better here on the truth I'm gonna closely all with this quote right before we get out of here the quote of the day Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase by Dr. Martin Luther King All right
Real danger, real fear, real stagnation.
The whole point of today's last segment was that you don't need to see the whole staircase in order to take the next step.
Don't go anywhere, y'all.
Make sure you tap in with Jazz Tyler right here on the award winning 1017, the truth.
It's your boy Ray Nitty signing off.
Enjoy the weekend, y'all.
What up y'all?
What it do?
What it do?
What it do?
It's your boy Ray Nitty holding it down on the award-winning one-on-one, 7 of Truth.
Live from the American Family Assurance Studios, man.
How y'all feeling?
How y'all feeling, man?
Join the conversation.
Join the family.
833-212-1017 is the number to dial.
You can text that number too, man.
You can text that number as well.
Man, it's Friday.
I'd have to get a triple shot of espresso.
Hey, you know, for a long time I've been saying espresso the wrong way.
I was saying espresso.
My wife was so embarrassed when I'd be at the bar and ask for espresso martini.
It's like one year she just was fed up.
She's like, it's espresso.
How y'all feeling, man?
How y'all feeling?
833-212-1017 is the number to dial.
This is the extended lunch, man.
This is the extended lunch.
Oh, so take a, you know, they lay down, they relax on their lunch break.
This two hours is for you.

A lot of people that profited off of 9 11 to talk about if I'm not mistaken, some of those things we were just talking about earlier in the first two hours of the lunch break.
Goes in the Halliburton.
The company that was if I'm not mistaken, or Dick Cheney, who was the vice president at the time, had interest in.
If you're not familiar with Halliburton, Halliburton did a lot of, you know, work for our troops that were at war in those times.
Providing the food, clothing, if I'm not mistaken.

Doc B. Evan Christian.
I feel like I'm forgetting some folks.
We did an armed forces entertainment tour.
And that tour was to, you know, deliver music to uplift our troops that were fighting overseas at that time.
We did Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Djibouti Africa, South Kyrgyzstan.
We traveled all over.
to lift the morale of the troops.
Performing, it was an amazing experience.
But having conversations with some of these folks, shout out to the folks in the bee hut.

Here we are today 25 years removed from 9-11 All right So what's happening today the 25th anniversary specifically Family members are gathering at the Memorial Plaza in lower Manhattan for the annual reading of all 2,983 names
President Trump is marking the anniversary at the Pentagon for the second year in a row.
A separate ceremony is being held at the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville.
This year's anniversary drew an unusually large bipartisan turnout in New York, Senator Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Michelle Obama, Barack Obama were all present at the memorial alongside Vice President JD Vance.
Trey Strata, National Chair of 9-Eleven Families United, used her remarks today to directly press the Trump administration on accountability.
from Saudi Arabia, telling Vice President Vance, stand with the family, stand with the survivors, stand with Americans.
Her comments were met with applause and was traditionally a solemn ceremony.
Schools nationwide are treating this 25th anniversary as an educational moment as much as a commemorative one.
For most current students, nine eleven is now pure history rather than lived memory taught through survivor testimony and archival footage rather than firsthand recognition.

Like we said, 833-212-1017 is the number to dial.
Last night, Milwaukee, 12-year-old, got shot.
Milwaukee kids keep getting shot.
I'm tired of.
What happened?
A 12-year-old boy was shot in the thigh Thursday night, September 10th, around 8.15 p.m.
Near 92nd Street, West Custer Avenue on Milwaukee's northwest side near Timmerman Airport.
He suffered a suspected femur fracture and was taken to the hospital.
with non life threatening injuries.
No arrests have been made.
Police are still searching for the shooter or shooters and ask anyone with information to call 414-935-7360 or Crime Stoppers at 414-224-TIPS.
All right.
This wasn't an isolated incident that night, y'all.
It was one of four people wounded.
in separate Milwaukee shootings on Thursday, September 10th alone.
OK, including a 37 year old shot after breaking into a home near 67th and Villa and two more people shot around 9 34 p.m.
the same evening.

We want to hear from you.
Where were you on 9-11 as we go through our extended menu for the day?
We got Valencia, Valencia, how you doing?
Thank you for calling in.
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
How are you?
Can you hear me?
Oh, oh yeah, I can hear you now.
Well, I was at work.
for General Motors in Oak Creek, Wisconsin.
And I was also on the phone with one of my vendors in New Jersey because we communicated every Monday.
I believe that was a Monday.
We communicated every Monday.
And while I was talking to Anna, I heard the crash of the first tower.
And I said to Anna, I said, Anna, what was that noise?
And she says, I don't know.
She said, let me look out the door, you know, because they could see the towers from where they were in New Jersey.
They were right across the water.
And so she said, it looks like one of the towers got hit.
And I'm like, oh my God.
And I said, Anna, I said, you got to put me
at least my normal week my my normal uh scheduled parts you got to give me that plus an extra week of additional material because i have a feeling that they're going to close the bridge down you know once everything settles you know because i heard the second tower hit too
I'm like, oh my God.
So she says I'm going to do it right away because we know they're going to stop all traffic coming from New Jersey and anywhere around.
And so I managed to get my supply of material on the truck expedited before they close all traffic from New Jersey and all surrounding areas.
So after I did all of that, I cried.
because I felt so bad for all the people that lost their lives.
And that every year, you know, I think about all the people that died because I heard the actual impact of the plane hitting the tower on the telephone.
Yeah, yeah, I think about it every year, every anniversary.
It's impossible not to.
job.
Formally, it was called Delco Electronic.
It's
Delphi.
But yeah, that's where I was working at, at the time the tragedy happened.
And everybody was running around in the plant, oh no, no, no, we're gonna be down, we're gonna be down because...
The most important products came from New Jersey.
And so all the plant managers came to me in panic mode because they thought we were going to be shut down for a week because I didn't, you know, they didn't know I knew my
job.
So you was prepared.
You said, you know what?
I'm an overorder.
Yeah, I'm a proactive person.
That's what I do.
When I see something, I know I got to do
Well, I hope they took care of you for being proactive and being on top of your job.
Thank you for calling in because of Valencia.
We definitely appreciate you calling in and sharing your experience and what you were doing on that day live with us here on the Truth Nation 1017, the award-winning 1017.
Man, where were you?
Call us up.
Let us know.
What were you doing on 9-11?
We just heard from cousin Valencia telling us she was at work at General Motors.
Just on a casual conversation with a vendor in Jersey.
And she heard the impact.
On the phone of the planes, because, you know, Jersey is very close to Manhattan and so forth.
And she was alert enough to be like, you know what, let me go ahead and double these orders because I know production is going to be slowed down.
Where were you 833-212-1017 25 years ago today?
Rest in peace to all the lives that was impacted everybody that was impacted on this day We got Rebecca Rebecca.
How you doing talk to us you alive on the award-winning one on one seven the truth
I'm doing well.
Thank you.
Good to be back with you Thank you so much.
Thank you again
I was a school bus driver and had just walked into the school transportation building at the presence of my road supervisor and I thought she was watching a movie.
I saw the planes crashing into the building and I'm like, what movie are you watching?
Because this is not a movie, this is happening.
And the only thing I could say is like, oh my god, my son is going to be deployed because he was serving as a fodder jet mechanic.
air division of the Navy.
And his sister and I got a chance to see him deploy on the Kennedy.
We got
a
tour of the Kennedy.
We know what they refer to the Navy folks when they say he's going to be sleeping on a coffin.
And of course, you know what they say, war is HDLL for the home front too.
So we had to send gifts to the respond and emails and anything and everything.
Of course, we're talking 25 years ago, communicating with our armed forces was very different.
Correct.
And...
You know, they couldn't tell us when they'll be deployed.
So that morning when he was flying out of Virginia to Jacksonville,
Florida,
that was when he was able to drop the news to me.
And my supervisor was so cool.
I was like, listen, I got to go see my son, the boy, and grab my daughter, and here we went.
I was in Georgia.
So it was only about a five-hour drive from where I was.
By the way, he served well.
He came back well.
I praise God for that.
And for all those who came back well,
And I pray for the families who are suffering loss from then to now, you know, of course.
Well, Miss Rebecca, thank you for calling in and sharing your story with us live here on the award winning one on one, seven to truth.
And we thank your son for his service for this country and protecting us and our rights here as we enjoy these freedoms here in this country.
Everybody that served.
We salute to you hats off to you.
We thank you and the folks once again who lost their lives or folks lives that were impacted.
You will forever be in our memories and our prayers.
Yes, it's one of those days, y'all.
It's one of those days, the days and memories of remembering.
Where were you?
833-212-1017 is the number to doubt.
Eight three three two one two ten seventeen is a number to dial a couple things we talking about today y'all talking about Milwaukee kids keep getting shot We just talked about a 12 year old boy shot in a thigh Thursday night All right, and it's a bigger picture here It's a bigger picture here That we have to address
It's a bigger picture here.
We have to address and it's not unfortunately This isn't the problem of an older person this isn't the problem of You know, it's a community thing it's a mentality What are we as a community gonna do about it how we respond how we check ourselves how we navigate how we deal with conflict
So bigger picture here a bigger pattern kids and guns in Milwaukee by the numbers we are going to get into it a 3 3 2 1 2 10 17 is the number to dial when we come back We are going to get into the bigger pattern Right here in Milwaukee with kids and guns by the numbers.
Don't go anywhere y'all when we return We'll be right back here on the grapevine with Ray Nitty on the award-winning one on one seven the truth
why you said video.
Oh I'm watching this video dog in a me brother Z and Shannon's Instagram chat and it's like 10 people trying to restrain or fight this black dude and he just whooping them
while being held and giving them the thumbs up at the same time with the same one hand that he been punching folks with.
My bad, y'all.
That had me coming back a little bit late to break.
That was crazy to see.
We talking about the bigger picture, y'all, right here on the award-winning 1017, The Truth, live from the American Family Assurance Studios.
The bigger picture, kids and guns in Milwaukee by the numbers, so far.
In 2026, Milwaukee has seen four youth homicides, which is down from eight at the same point in 2025, right?
Real significant improvement.
County officials specifically credit the violence prevention and community based work, not just policing.
All right.
I would even go not taking anything away from police.
I think police do.
The best that they can with what they have, right?
I get it.
I get it.
I get it.
It's not enough resources.
But you know who really don't have enough resources?
The folks who are doing violence prevention work.
The folks who are doing that work.
And I don't think they get enough credit, man.
For the work that they do, which is why off air, I suggested to brother Josh, because of Josh.
New president of the Milwaukee Bucks and Pfizer for him.
I said, look into partnerships with violence prevention organizations.
Let's privatize safety.
For the dear district for downtown, work with these organizations, make them a part of the budget.
Not just a voluntary line item.
So where all of Milwaukee could come down to downtown, feel safe.
And then we have additional measures, measures on top of our police system, on top of establishments having their own security.
And incorporate our violence prevention measures, your community, wellness and safety folks, your four on four life folks.
We need to start looking at that as part of the plan.
Not just say hey, we want to keep asking people to come down and about let's make it a real life part of the budget.
I get it Funding is slim We already got to cut things and figure out how to make things happen, but we're gonna prioritize safety.
I think we should prioritize it But the bigger picture y'all But non-fatal shootings of minors have gone the opposite direction 29 miners shot
Let's survive so far in 2026 up from 25 at the same point in 2025 meaning fewer kids are dying but a similar or larger number are still getting shot in the first place All right Citywide total homicides are down from 64 to 49 We would think these are good numbers right
We would think these are great numbers At this same time we had 64 Homicides right now we have 49 at this same point in comparison and total non fatal shootings are down
from 258 at this time to 189.
So Milwaukee's overall violence trend is genuinely improving, even as any individual week like this one can still look brutal, still feel.
Brutal, because the other thing with that, too, is like we highlight so much of the violence.
We highlight so much of it, we pour it down our community.
We only show the worst parts.
We hyper advertise, we hyper promote, we hyper converse.
I can be guilty of it too.
Of all the negative things that we see, but we don't do a good enough job at things like this, highlighting the improvements.
And it's hard to highlight the improvements when you feel like...
Ain't nothing changing and it's hard to feel any changes When all you're being shown Is the continuous violence we got cousin Rebecca calling in again I like when when the cuz is calling for a double scoop.
How you feeling Rebecca talk to us?
I am feeling well.
You're hitting home on What our church is involved with?
I'm the assistant pastor of a, actually the oldest African American church in Milwaukee off Atkinson.
And the church is St.
Mark AME, African Methodist Episcopal founded in 1869.
So we are... Where's that located again?
That's on Atkinson Avenue.
16th.
OK,
Oh, no, no, no, no, that's OK.
Good to know that you've heard of us and maybe even have affiliation with us.
But just to let you know, all of us in.
our own capacity.
We're in, we're interacting with so many other churches and groups and all and we are working on a campaign picking our city back right now.
So each and everyone, like you say, we're not giving honor to the little bit that's changing, but we can only change our city and take it back a little bit at a time and we're doing our little part and that's just what I wanted to
No, absolutely.
Thank you for calling in.
Once again, cousin Rebecca and sharing that with us.
You are always welcome here on The Truth Family.
And that's what it's about.
It's all about collaborating, sharing what's been happening, what's best practices in different communities.
We talk to Office of Community Wellness and Safety and they have the data.
They know the concentrated areas of where the hot spots for crime is.
So let's figure out ways and I get it.
We don't have the resources.
A lot of the resources are going to cover our pension crisis.
I get it.
I get it, but that don't mean we can't figure it out.
We have to figure it out if we know the data, if we know the areas, we gotta try.
We gotta at least try.
All right?
Let's go to the phone lines.
We have Ms.
Charlotte on comments about black people and mental health.
How you doing, Ms.
Charlotte?
You are live on the award winning one on one, seven, the truth.
I'm doing well.
Thank you.
But I just want to mention that a lot of our issues, we are free to talk about mental health, especially mental health of teens and children, the impulsive behaviors and the anger, no anger management comes from a lot of pain and PTSD.
And so we have to recognize and not be ashamed to say, my kid needs therapy.
My child needs some help that I can't give.
If your child had a broken leg, you wouldn't try to fix it.
So if your child has mental health issues, you have to address it.
Children's Hospital Health Clinic just for children.
And they will work with you without charge.
So I just want to tell people that don't be ashamed if your child has mental health issues because a lot of times it does lead to violence if it goes unaddressed.
Thank you once again.
Thank you once again for calling in Truth Nation.
Yes, Miss Charlotte is right.
We have to address our mental health issues in our community.
A lot of it goes undiagnosed.
A lot of us don't know we're experiencing mental health issues.
We are just operating as if things are normal the thoughts that we have about ourselves and I think some people think that because You your thoughts may not just be like oh thoughts of harming yourself.
You're not Experiencing some mental struggles Even the thoughts of you know Constantly thinking of why we aren't where we need to be and if we over
internalize these thoughts.
It can keep us in a very mentally tough space.
It's easy to get stuck.
It's easy to get stuck in a tough mental place.
It could be coming from a relationship, losing a job, losing a friend, losing a deal.
And we get stuck in it.
And we get emotional about it.
And then we go into dark places.
And then we start making all these other decisions that may drive us deeper into this darkness.
But we're going to get back to the pattern surrounding kids and guns.
So we said city-wide total homicides are down from 64 to 49.
Also non-fatal shootings are down from 258 to 189.
So if we zoom out further,
Miners have represented 13% of all Milwaukee County homicides victims since 2003.
That's a huge percent.
Miners, 13%.
Before 2020, juveniles typically made up less than 10% of homicide victims citywide, meaning kids have carried a larger share of the city's violence for several years running now, even as raw numbers improve.
A May 2025 Wisconsin Policy Forum study found felony weapons offenses among Milwaukee County juveniles more than tripled between 2018 and 2024, meaning more kids are also being charged as the ones carrying and using guns, not just as victims.
Since this is true.
Why?
Why?
What?
specifically happened.
What can we remember between 2018 and 2024?
That really started happening.
What really started happening?
I wonder if people can remember.
Do y'all remember 8332121017?
That's the number to doubt.
I give y'all a clue.
It has something to do with cars.
Got something to do with cars.
But we're going to come back to it, though.
Statewide, Milwaukee County's child gun death rate is three times higher than the rest of Wisconsin, 4.4 deaths per 100,000 children in Milwaukee County versus 1.4 elsewhere in the state per kids, forwards tracking with black communities bearing an especially large share of that loss.
All right.
So this is our honest, complete picture.
Worth mentioning to you, Milwaukee is making real measurable progress on youth gun violence this year.
That's true and deserves to be said.
It also is true that a 12 year old took a bullet last night and that non-fiddle shootings of minors have haven't my bad haven't currently improved.
Both things are happening in the same city in the same year.
Okay.
County Executive David Crowley's own framing after the June numbers came out was we can't take our foot off the gas.
What does that actually look like at the neighborhood level beyond a press conference?
All right.
Don't go anywhere, y'all.
When we come back, we will talk to security mic.
on this topic after this break.
Don't go anywhere on the award-winning one-on-one 7 to truth.
What up, y'all?
What up?
What up?
Welcome back.
Welcome back.
You are now listening to the award-winning 1017, The Truth, live from the American Family Insurance Studios.

It was a good time man.
They showed us a real good time.
Shout out to everybody on the little John crew man.
We got security Mike.
How you doing security Mike?
How you feeling man?
Talk to us.
How you doing man?
It's still my way to work but I was working at the Spectrum site down
MLK Mr. The manpower is well down by the visor doing the height.
During the height of tier boys still in cars.
Mm-hmm.
They were able to get a lot of guns because The guys that were chicken clubbing at night.
They couldn't go in the club with the guns So they they get a car.
They was able to get guns like that They got plenty guns.
That's why so many of the kids Yeah, cuz I've gotten a number of kids trying to steal cars off our lot and they were young leaving girls with them
a sport team, stuff like that.
So they retrieve a lot of guns like that and they still out here on the street.
That's why.
100% right.
Because Mike, 100% right, man.
That's exactly what my hypothesis was.
If you remember, if you remember back there, we had a high rate of car break ins, right?
Pretty much a lot of folks was just.
breaking glass windows and specifically.
In my opinion, specifically looking for guns.
All right.
I vividly remember at one point, my wife, we had she had a truck was at a concert.
It was at a concert downtown somewhere.
They broke in the car.
Her purse was in the car.
They did not take the purse, the wallet, nothing and expensive purse, too.
They didn't take it smashed the windows.
And just rummage through the stuff.
Purse was right there.
They didn't take it.
They looking for something else.
Guns.
Guns, I could give you another story.
My whip.
My car, I was at a friend house, a very important friend.
Y'all probably know this friend.
I'm going to leave a name out of it, though.
And we was chilling.
And we went out to do some work in the city and came back and I seen a book bag in the dry in the alley.
I'm like, what the hell?
I look like my book bag.
Then we drive down some more and I see a interface.
I'm like, is that my interface?
You get back.
My trunk is wide open.
Didn't take all of this stuff, but I did leave my firearm in the vehicle.
They took the firearm year later, the firearm was used in a robbery.
They wouldn't tell me if somebody was hurt or if it was whatever, but they said it was used in the robbery.
They was looking for guns.
It's a lot of teams with guns because they breaking in to cars and looking for these in particular.
And cousin security Mike is right.
You can't take your firearms and things inside of clubs, Pfizer forum or all these places.
So we leave them in the cars.
And these kids are smart.
They know that.
OK.
So, yeah, they was looking for it.
They was looking for them.
So that's why I believe we are seeing more.
Kids having access to weapons.
That's just a theory.
All right.
Just a theory.
We got some comments on YouTube.
Once again, a 3 3 2 1 2 10 17 is the number to dial a 3 3 2 1 2 10 17 is the number to dial.
Conversations with Francois.
Says those trains full of guns started getting jacked in major cities.
P O L felt the government was doing that on purpose.
Ron Taylor says from 1968 until now, nothing has happened that I can blame for me carrying a gun and shooting it at somebody or becoming a felon.
You say from 1968 until now, nothing has happened that I could blame for me carrying a gun and shooting at somebody.
OK, he's saying nothing from 1968.
He's saying he'd take responsibility for his own things if I'm not mistaken, right?
Conversation.
What trains full of guns were hijacked?
What's your source?

I'm thinking he's talking about the folks in there I don't think you took my car though.
I ain't never had a car took He might as meant they took my car, but they didn't even took it.
They just went in it and then other time to the thing is like a Lot of times we leave our vehicles on lock
Let's be honest.
We leave our vehicles on line.
My stuff got stolen because I left my vehicle on line.
Because we saw the video and they were going through the neighborhood.
Just uh, just uh, they said my car on 41st.
Yeah, I don't think uh, I think you got the wrong rate.
It's all online.
I did.
Your red car.
on 41st with your keys.
I ain't never had no red car on 41st.
This is interesting.
They took my red car with my keys on 44.
I don't know if I'd admit to that if I really did have a red car that got stolen.
But the numbers.
Kids getting access to guns.
Kids getting access to guns.
We have to do a better job at, you know, locking our vehicles and keeping our firearms away from young people.
And also, there's too many young people that just have access to them in the homes.
That's why places like Office of Community Wellness and Safety.
are passing out gun locks, you know, trying to make sure people are being safe when it comes down to firearms, doing neighborhood knocks, even doing getting guns off the street programs.
Okay.
We got to do our job as a community.
We all play a role.
We all play a role.
We all have a job to do.
OK.
We don't need to hear no many, no more kids getting shot due to gun violence.
We don't need to hear.
But unfortunately, the chances are very high.
That we will.
But we could all take steps towards making Milwaukee a little bit safer.
If we are a little bit more intentional.
About how we securely travel with.
Conceal or put away.
Our firearms.
That's why I just don't mean like going certain places in them.
If I'm going someplace where I got to travel with my gun, I don't want to go.
I want to go to.
I don't want to go nowhere that is going to make me.
And I know people are like, you just never know when you come across a situation where you may need it.
I am not a big person on.
Weapons or none of that, but I respect everybody writes to bear arms, but I. One in particular, I don't like because they say.
Don't point no.
Gun at nobody if you are not prepared to destroy the target.
And I value human life a little bit more than I'm assuming the average person.
So I rather not carry one.
I do it at times, but it's not because I just, oh man, I just love guns.
That's not it.
That's not it.

Goes in the Halliburton.
The company that was if I'm not mistaken, or Dick Cheney, who was the vice president at the time, had interest in.

We did an armed forces entertainment tour.
And that tour was to, you know, deliver music to uplift our troops that were fighting overseas at that time.
We did Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Djibouti Africa, South Kyrgyzstan.
We traveled all over.
to lift the morale of the troops.
Performing, it was an amazing experience.

Here we are today 25 years removed from 9-11 All right So what's happening today the 25th anniversary specifically Family members are gathering at the Memorial Plaza in lower Manhattan for the annual reading of all 2,983 names
President Trump is marking the anniversary at the Pentagon for the second year in a row.
A separate ceremony is being held at the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville.
This year's anniversary drew an unusually large bipartisan turnout in New York, Senator Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Michelle Obama, Barack Obama were all present at the memorial alongside Vice President JD Vance.
Trey Strata, National Chair of 9-Eleven Families United, used her remarks today to directly press the Trump administration on accountability.
from Saudi Arabia, telling Vice President Vance, stand with the family, stand with the survivors, stand with Americans.
Her comments were met with applause and was traditionally a solemn ceremony.
Schools nationwide are treating this 25th anniversary as an educational moment as much as a commemorative one.
For most current students, nine eleven is now pure history rather than lived memory taught through survivor testimony and archival footage rather than firsthand recognition.

Last night, Milwaukee, 12-year-old, got shot.
Milwaukee kids keep getting shot.
I'm tired of.
What happened?
A 12-year-old boy was shot in the thigh Thursday night, September 10th, around 8.15 p.m.
Near 92nd Street, West Custer Avenue on Milwaukee's northwest side near Timmerman Airport.
He suffered a suspected femur fracture and was taken to the hospital.
with non life threatening injuries.
No arrests have been made.
Police are still searching for the shooter or shooters and ask anyone with information to call 414-935-7360 or Crime Stoppers at 414-224-TIPS.
All right.
This wasn't an isolated incident that night, y'all.
It was one of four people wounded.
in separate Milwaukee shootings on Thursday, September 10th alone.
OK, including a 37 year old shot after breaking into a home near 67th and Villa and two more people shot around 9 34 p.m.

We want to hear from you.
Where were you on 9-11 as we go through our extended menu for the day?
We got Valencia, Valencia, how you doing?
Thank you for calling in.
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
How are you?
Can you hear me?
Oh, oh yeah, I can hear you now.
Well, I was at work.
for General Motors in Oak Creek, Wisconsin.
And I was also on the phone with one of my vendors in New Jersey because we communicated every Monday.
I believe that was a Monday.
We communicated every Monday.
And while I was talking to Anna, I heard the crash of the first tower.
And I said to Anna, I said, Anna, what was that noise?
And she says, I don't know.
She said, let me look out the door, you know, because they could see the towers from where they were in New Jersey.
They were right across the water.
And so she said, it looks like one of the towers got hit.
And I'm like, oh my God.
And I said, Anna, I said, you got to put me
at least my normal week my my normal uh scheduled parts you got to give me that plus an extra week of additional material because i have a feeling that they're going to close the bridge down you know once everything settles you know because i heard the second tower hit too
I'm like, oh my God.
So she says I'm going to do it right away because we know they're going to stop all traffic coming from New Jersey and anywhere around.
And so I managed to get my supply of material on the truck expedited before they close all traffic from New Jersey and all surrounding areas.
So after I did all of that, I cried.
because I felt so bad for all the people that lost their lives.
And that every year, you know, I think about all the people that died because I heard the actual impact of the plane hitting the tower on the telephone.
Yeah, yeah, I think about it every year, every anniversary.
It's impossible not to.
job.
Formally, it was called Delco Electronic.
It's
Delphi.
But yeah, that's where I was working at, at the time the tragedy happened.
And everybody was running around in the plant, oh no, no, no, we're gonna be down, we're gonna be down because...
The most important products came from New Jersey.
And so all the plant managers came to me in panic mode because they thought we were going to be shut down for a week because I didn't, you know, they didn't know I knew my
job.
So you was prepared.
You said, you know what?
I'm an overorder.
Yeah, I'm a proactive person.
That's what I do.
When I see something, I know I got to do
Well, I hope they took care of you for being proactive and being on top of your job.
Thank you for calling in because of Valencia.
We definitely appreciate you calling in and sharing your experience and what you were doing on that day live with us here on the Truth Nation 1017, the award-winning 1017.
Man, where were you?
Call us up.
Let us know.
What were you doing on 9-11?
We just heard from cousin Valencia telling us she was at work at General Motors.
Just on a casual conversation with a vendor in Jersey.
And she heard the impact.
On the phone of the planes, because, you know, Jersey is very close to Manhattan and so forth.
And she was alert enough to be like, you know what, let me go ahead and double these orders because I know production is going to be slowed down.
Where were you 833-212-1017 25 years ago today?
Rest in peace to all the lives that was impacted everybody that was impacted on this day We got Rebecca Rebecca.
How you doing talk to us you alive on the award-winning one on one seven the truth
I'm doing well.
Thank you.
Good to be back with you Thank you so much.
Thank you again
I was a school bus driver and had just walked into the school transportation building at the presence of my road supervisor and I thought she was watching a movie.
I saw the planes crashing into the building and I'm like, what movie are you watching?
Because this is not a movie, this is happening.
And the only thing I could say is like, oh my god, my son is going to be deployed because he was serving as a fodder jet mechanic.
air division of the Navy.
And his sister and I got a chance to see him deploy on the Kennedy.
We got
a
tour of the Kennedy.
We know what they refer to the Navy folks when they say he's going to be sleeping on a coffin.
And of course, you know what they say, war is HDLL for the home front too.
So we had to send gifts to the respond and emails and anything and everything.
Of course, we're talking 25 years ago, communicating with our armed forces was very different.
Correct.
And...
You know, they couldn't tell us when they'll be deployed.
So that morning when he was flying out of Virginia to Jacksonville,
Florida,
that was when he was able to drop the news to me.
And my supervisor was so cool.
I was like, listen, I got to go see my son, the boy, and grab my daughter, and here we went.
I was in Georgia.
So it was only about a five-hour drive from where I was.
By the way, he served well.
He came back well.
I praise God for that.
And for all those who came back well,
And I pray for the families who are suffering loss from then to now, you know, of course.
Well, Miss Rebecca, thank you for calling in and sharing your story with us live here on the award winning one on one, seven to truth.
And we thank your son for his service for this country and protecting us and our rights here as we enjoy these freedoms here in this country.
Everybody that served.
We salute to you hats off to you.
We thank you and the folks once again who lost their lives or folks lives that were impacted.
You will forever be in our memories and our prayers.
Yes, it's one of those days, y'all.
It's one of those days, the days and memories of remembering.
Where were you?
833-212-1017 is the number to doubt.
Eight three three two one two ten seventeen is a number to dial a couple things we talking about today y'all talking about Milwaukee kids keep getting shot We just talked about a 12 year old boy shot in a thigh Thursday night All right, and it's a bigger picture here It's a bigger picture here That we have to address
It's a bigger picture here.
We have to address and it's not unfortunately This isn't the problem of an older person this isn't the problem of You know, it's a community thing it's a mentality What are we as a community gonna do about it how we respond how we check ourselves how we navigate how we deal with conflict
So bigger picture here a bigger pattern kids and guns in Milwaukee by the numbers we are going to get into it a 3 3 2 1 2 10 17 is the number to dial when we come back We are going to get into the bigger pattern Right here in Milwaukee with kids and guns by the numbers.
Don't go anywhere y'all when we return We'll be right back here on the grapevine with Ray Nitty on the award-winning one on one seven the truth
why you said video.
Oh I'm watching this video dog in a me brother Z and Shannon's Instagram chat and it's like 10 people trying to restrain or fight this black dude and he just whooping them
while being held and giving them the thumbs up at the same time with the same one hand that he been punching folks with.
My bad, y'all.
That had me coming back a little bit late to break.
That was crazy to see.
We talking about the bigger picture, y'all, right here on the award-winning 1017, The Truth, live from the American Family Assurance Studios.
The bigger picture, kids and guns in Milwaukee by the numbers, so far.
In 2026, Milwaukee has seen four youth homicides, which is down from eight at the same point in 2025, right?
Real significant improvement.
County officials specifically credit the violence prevention and community based work, not just policing.
All right.
I would even go not taking anything away from police.
I think police do.
The best that they can with what they have, right?
I get it.
I get it.
I get it.
It's not enough resources.
But you know who really don't have enough resources?
The folks who are doing violence prevention work.
The folks who are doing that work.
And I don't think they get enough credit, man.
For the work that they do, which is why off air, I suggested to brother Josh, because of Josh.
New president of the Milwaukee Bucks and Pfizer for him.
I said, look into partnerships with violence prevention organizations.
Let's privatize safety.
For the dear district for downtown, work with these organizations, make them a part of the budget.
Not just a voluntary line item.
So where all of Milwaukee could come down to downtown, feel safe.
And then we have additional measures, measures on top of our police system, on top of establishments having their own security.
And incorporate our violence prevention measures, your community, wellness and safety folks, your four on four life folks.
We need to start looking at that as part of the plan.
Not just say hey, we want to keep asking people to come down and about let's make it a real life part of the budget.
I get it Funding is slim We already got to cut things and figure out how to make things happen, but we're gonna prioritize safety.
I think we should prioritize it But the bigger picture y'all But non-fatal shootings of minors have gone the opposite direction 29 miners shot
Let's survive so far in 2026 up from 25 at the same point in 2025 meaning fewer kids are dying but a similar or larger number are still getting shot in the first place All right Citywide total homicides are down from 64 to 49 We would think these are good numbers right
We would think these are great numbers At this same time we had 64 Homicides right now we have 49 at this same point in comparison and total non fatal shootings are down
from 258 at this time to 189.
So Milwaukee's overall violence trend is genuinely improving, even as any individual week like this one can still look brutal, still feel.
Brutal, because the other thing with that, too, is like we highlight so much of the violence.
We highlight so much of it, we pour it down our community.
We only show the worst parts.
We hyper advertise, we hyper promote, we hyper converse.
I can be guilty of it too.
Of all the negative things that we see, but we don't do a good enough job at things like this, highlighting the improvements.
And it's hard to highlight the improvements when you feel like...
Ain't nothing changing and it's hard to feel any changes When all you're being shown Is the continuous violence we got cousin Rebecca calling in again I like when when the cuz is calling for a double scoop.
How you feeling Rebecca talk to us?
I am feeling well.
You're hitting home on What our church is involved with?
I'm the assistant pastor of a, actually the oldest African American church in Milwaukee off Atkinson.
And the church is St.
Mark AME, African Methodist Episcopal founded in 1869.
So we are... Where's that located again?
That's on Atkinson Avenue.
16th.
OK,
Oh, no, no, no, no, that's OK.
Good to know that you've heard of us and maybe even have affiliation with us.
But just to let you know, all of us in.
our own capacity.
We're in, we're interacting with so many other churches and groups and all and we are working on a campaign picking our city back right now.
So each and everyone, like you say, we're not giving honor to the little bit that's changing, but we can only change our city and take it back a little bit at a time and we're doing our little part and that's just what I wanted to
No, absolutely.
Thank you for calling in.
Once again, cousin Rebecca and sharing that with us.
You are always welcome here on The Truth Family.
And that's what it's about.
It's all about collaborating, sharing what's been happening, what's best practices in different communities.
We talk to Office of Community Wellness and Safety and they have the data.
They know the concentrated areas of where the hot spots for crime is.
So let's figure out ways and I get it.
We don't have the resources.
A lot of the resources are going to cover our pension crisis.
I get it.
I get it, but that don't mean we can't figure it out.
We have to figure it out if we know the data, if we know the areas, we gotta try.
We gotta at least try.
All right?
Let's go to the phone lines.
We have Ms.
Charlotte on comments about black people and mental health.
How you doing, Ms.
Charlotte?
You are live on the award winning one on one, seven, the truth.
I'm doing well.
Thank you.
But I just want to mention that a lot of our issues, we are free to talk about mental health, especially mental health of teens and children, the impulsive behaviors and the anger, no anger management comes from a lot of pain and PTSD.
And so we have to recognize and not be ashamed to say, my kid needs therapy.
My child needs some help that I can't give.
If your child had a broken leg, you wouldn't try to fix it.
So if your child has mental health issues, you have to address it.
Children's Hospital Health Clinic just for children.
And they will work with you without charge.
So I just want to tell people that don't be ashamed if your child has mental health issues because a lot of times it does lead to violence if it goes unaddressed.
Thank you once again.
Thank you once again for calling in Truth Nation.
Yes, Miss Charlotte is right.
We have to address our mental health issues in our community.
A lot of it goes undiagnosed.
A lot of us don't know we're experiencing mental health issues.
We are just operating as if things are normal the thoughts that we have about ourselves and I think some people think that because You your thoughts may not just be like oh thoughts of harming yourself.
You're not Experiencing some mental struggles Even the thoughts of you know Constantly thinking of why we aren't where we need to be and if we over
internalize these thoughts.
It can keep us in a very mentally tough space.
It's easy to get stuck.
It's easy to get stuck in a tough mental place.
It could be coming from a relationship, losing a job, losing a friend, losing a deal.
And we get stuck in it.
And we get emotional about it.
And then we go into dark places.
And then we start making all these other decisions that may drive us deeper into this darkness.
But we're going to get back to the pattern surrounding kids and guns.
So we said city-wide total homicides are down from 64 to 49.
Also non-fatal shootings are down from 258 to 189.
So if we zoom out further,
Miners have represented 13% of all Milwaukee County homicides victims since 2003.
That's a huge percent.
Miners, 13%.
Before 2020, juveniles typically made up less than 10% of homicide victims citywide, meaning kids have carried a larger share of the city's violence for several years running now, even as raw numbers improve.
A May 2025 Wisconsin Policy Forum study found felony weapons offenses among Milwaukee County juveniles more than tripled between 2018 and 2024, meaning more kids are also being charged as the ones carrying and using guns, not just as victims.
Since this is true.
Why?
Why?
What?
specifically happened.
What can we remember between 2018 and 2024?
That really started happening.
What really started happening?
I wonder if people can remember.
Do y'all remember 8332121017?
That's the number to doubt.
I give y'all a clue.
It has something to do with cars.
Got something to do with cars.
But we're going to come back to it, though.
Statewide, Milwaukee County's child gun death rate is three times higher than the rest of Wisconsin, 4.4 deaths per 100,000 children in Milwaukee County versus 1.4 elsewhere in the state per kids, forwards tracking with black communities bearing an especially large share of that loss.
All right.
So this is our honest, complete picture.
Worth mentioning to you, Milwaukee is making real measurable progress on youth gun violence this year.
That's true and deserves to be said.
It also is true that a 12 year old took a bullet last night and that non-fiddle shootings of minors have haven't my bad haven't currently improved.
Both things are happening in the same city in the same year.
Okay.
County Executive David Crowley's own framing after the June numbers came out was we can't take our foot off the gas.
What does that actually look like at the neighborhood level beyond a press conference?
All right.
Don't go anywhere, y'all.
When we come back, we will talk to security mic.
on this topic after this break.
Don't go anywhere on the award-winning one-on-one 7 to truth.
What up, y'all?
What up?
What up?
Welcome back.
Welcome back.
You are now listening to the award-winning 1017, The Truth, live from the American Family Insurance Studios.

But bro is a super proud of bro, man.
Bro did a lot, man.
He was touring with Trace, plenty people, plenty people.
I can't even name everybody like Shannon would be like, no, no.
But shout out to hold me man.
Last time there was here was for the tacos and tequila festival and.
It was a good time man.
They showed us a real good time.
Shout out to everybody on the little John crew man.
We got security Mike.
How you doing security Mike?
How you feeling man?
Talk to us.
How you doing man?
It's still my way to work but I was working at the Spectrum site down
MLK Mr. The manpower is well down by the visor doing the height.
During the height of tier boys still in cars.
Mm-hmm.
They were able to get a lot of guns because The guys that were chicken clubbing at night.
They couldn't go in the club with the guns So they they get a car.
They was able to get guns like that They got plenty guns.
That's why so many of the kids Yeah, cuz I've gotten a number of kids trying to steal cars off our lot and they were young leaving girls with them
a sport team, stuff like that.
So they retrieve a lot of guns like that and they still out here on the street.
That's why.
100% right.
Because Mike, 100% right, man.
That's exactly what my hypothesis was.
If you remember, if you remember back there, we had a high rate of car break ins, right?
Pretty much a lot of folks was just.
breaking glass windows and specifically.
In my opinion, specifically looking for guns.
All right.
I vividly remember at one point, my wife, we had she had a truck was at a concert.
It was at a concert downtown somewhere.
They broke in the car.
Her purse was in the car.
They did not take the purse, the wallet, nothing and expensive purse, too.
They didn't take it smashed the windows.
And just rummage through the stuff.
Purse was right there.
They didn't take it.
They looking for something else.
Guns.
Guns, I could give you another story.
My whip.
My car, I was at a friend house, a very important friend.
Y'all probably know this friend.
I'm going to leave a name out of it, though.
And we was chilling.
And we went out to do some work in the city and came back and I seen a book bag in the dry in the alley.
I'm like, what the hell?
I look like my book bag.
Then we drive down some more and I see a interface.
I'm like, is that my interface?
You get back.
My trunk is wide open.
Didn't take all of this stuff, but I did leave my firearm in the vehicle.
They took the firearm year later, the firearm was used in a robbery.
They wouldn't tell me if somebody was hurt or if it was whatever, but they said it was used in the robbery.
They was looking for guns.
It's a lot of teams with guns because they breaking in to cars and looking for these in particular.
And cousin security Mike is right.
You can't take your firearms and things inside of clubs, Pfizer forum or all these places.
So we leave them in the cars.
And these kids are smart.
They know that.
OK.
So, yeah, they was looking for it.
They was looking for them.
So that's why I believe we are seeing more.
Kids having access to weapons.
That's just a theory.
All right.
Just a theory.
We got some comments on YouTube.
Once again, a 3 3 2 1 2 10 17 is the number to dial a 3 3 2 1 2 10 17 is the number to dial.
Conversations with Francois.
Says those trains full of guns started getting jacked in major cities.
P O L felt the government was doing that on purpose.
Ron Taylor says from 1968 until now, nothing has happened that I can blame for me carrying a gun and shooting it at somebody or becoming a felon.
You say from 1968 until now, nothing has happened that I could blame for me carrying a gun and shooting at somebody.
OK, he's saying nothing from 1968.
He's saying he'd take responsibility for his own things if I'm not mistaken, right?
Conversation.
What trains full of guns were hijacked?
What's your source?
I thought guns and drugs were just being dropped off in the city Okay, they getting they getting into a conversation there says I agree with Iran teens were shooting at each other when I was a teen between 2000 2006 teen violence is not new and people just be bad Ray, I took your car says Ray.
I took your car as a teenager
under 25 develop the brains 25 under develop blaring brains They do what they want You can look it up yourself.
It's all online.
Okay.
I'm thinking he's talking about the folks in there I don't think you took my car though.
I ain't never had a car took He might as meant they took my car, but they didn't even took it.
They just went in it and then other time to the thing is like a Lot of times we leave our vehicles on lock
Let's be honest.
We leave our vehicles on line.
My stuff got stolen because I left my vehicle on line.
Because we saw the video and they were going through the neighborhood.
Just uh, just uh, they said my car on 41st.
Yeah, I don't think uh, I think you got the wrong rate.
It's all online.
I did.
Your red car.
on 41st with your keys.
I ain't never had no red car on 41st.
This is interesting.
They took my red car with my keys on 44.
I don't know if I'd admit to that if I really did have a red car that got stolen.
But the numbers.
Kids getting access to guns.
Kids getting access to guns.
We have to do a better job at, you know, locking our vehicles and keeping our firearms away from young people.
And also, there's too many young people that just have access to them in the homes.
That's why places like Office of Community Wellness and Safety.
are passing out gun locks, you know, trying to make sure people are being safe when it comes down to firearms, doing neighborhood knocks, even doing getting guns off the street programs.
Okay.
We got to do our job as a community.
We all play a role.
We all play a role.
We all have a job to do.
OK.
We don't need to hear no many, no more kids getting shot due to gun violence.
We don't need to hear.
But unfortunately, the chances are very high.
That we will.
But we could all take steps towards making Milwaukee a little bit safer.
If we are a little bit more intentional.
About how we securely travel with.
Conceal or put away.
Our firearms.
That's why I just don't mean like going certain places in them.
If I'm going someplace where I got to travel with my gun, I don't want to go.
I want to go to.
I don't want to go nowhere that is going to make me.
And I know people are like, you just never know when you come across a situation where you may need it.
I am not a big person on.
Weapons or none of that, but I respect everybody writes to bear arms, but I. One in particular, I don't like because they say.
Don't point no.
Gun at nobody if you are not prepared to destroy the target.
And I value human life a little bit more than I'm assuming the average person.
So I rather not carry one.
I do it at times, but it's not because I just, oh man, I just love guns.
That's not it.
That's not it.
What's up my man's man?
All right y'all don't go anywhere when we come back.
We are going to get into the conversation Anthropic researchers say AI could kill all humans within a decade when we come back We'll get into that what actually happened in order.

We want to make sure we always highlight what is going on in our CD as well.
So, feel free to call in whenever you want.
Like we said, 833-212-1017 is the number to dial.
Last night, Milwaukee, 12-year-old, got shot.
Milwaukee kids keep getting shot.
I'm tired of.
What happened?
A 12-year-old boy was shot in the thigh Thursday night, September 10th, around 8.15 p.m.
Near 92nd Street, West Custer Avenue on Milwaukee's northwest side near Timmerman Airport.
He suffered a suspected femur fracture and was taken to the hospital.
with non life threatening injuries.
No arrests have been made.
Police are still searching for the shooter or shooters and ask anyone with information to call 414-935-7360 or Crime Stoppers at 414-224-TIPS.
All right.
This wasn't an isolated incident that night, y'all.
It was one of four people wounded.
in separate Milwaukee shootings on Thursday, September 10th alone.
OK, including a 37 year old shot after breaking into a home near 67th and Villa and two more people shot around 9 34 p.m.
the same evening.
A 3 3 2 1 2 10 17 is a number to dial.
A 3 3 2 1 2 10 17 is a number to dial.
We want to hear from you.
Where were you on 9-11 as we go through our extended menu for the day?
We got Valencia, Valencia, how you doing?
Thank you for calling in.
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
How are you?
Can you hear me?
Oh, oh yeah, I can hear you now.
Well, I was at work.
for General Motors in Oak Creek, Wisconsin.
And I was also on the phone with one of my vendors in New Jersey because we communicated every Monday.
I believe that was a Monday.
We communicated every Monday.
And while I was talking to Anna, I heard the crash of the first tower.
And I said to Anna, I said, Anna, what was that noise?
And she says, I don't know.
She said, let me look out the door, you know, because they could see the towers from where they were in New Jersey.
They were right across the water.
And so she said, it looks like one of the towers got hit.
And I'm like, oh my God.
And I said, Anna, I said, you got to put me
at least my normal week my my normal uh scheduled parts you got to give me that plus an extra week of additional material because i have a feeling that they're going to close the bridge down you know once everything settles you know because i heard the second tower hit too
I'm like, oh my God.
So she says I'm gonna do it right away because we know they're gonna stop all traffic coming from New Jersey and anywhere around.
And so I managed to get my supply of material on the truck expedited before they close all traffic from New Jersey and all surrounding areas.
So after I did all of that, I cried.
because I felt so bad for all the people that lost their lives.
And that every year, you know, I think about all the people that died because I heard the actual impact of the plane hitting the tower on the telephone.
Yeah, yeah, I think about it every year, every anniversary.
It's impossible not to.
job.
Formally, it was called Delco Electronic.
It
fell five.
But yeah, that's where I was working at, at the time the tragedy happened.
And everybody was running around in the plant, oh no, no, no, we're gonna be down, we're gonna be down because...
The most important products came from New Jersey.
And so all the plant managers came to me in panic mode because they thought we were going to be shut down for a week because I didn't, you know, they didn't know I knew my
job.
So you was prepared.
You said, you know what?
I'm an overorder.
Yeah, I'm a proactive person.
That's what I do.
When I see something, I know I got to do
Well, I hope they took care of you for being proactive and being on top of your job.
Thank you for calling in because of Valencia.
We definitely appreciate you calling in and sharing your experience and what you were doing on that day live with us here on the Truth Nation 1017, the award-winning 1017.
Man, where were you?
Call us up.
Let us know.
What were you doing on 9-11?
We just heard from cousin Valencia telling us she was at work at General Motors.
Just on a casual conversation with a vendor in Jersey.
And she heard the impact.
On the phone of the planes, because, you know, Jersey is very close to Manhattan and so forth.
And she was alert enough to be like, you know what, let me go ahead and double these orders because I know production is going to be slowed down.
Where were you 833-212-1017 25 years ago today?
Rest in peace to all the lives that was impacted everybody that was impacted on this day We got Rebecca Rebecca.
How you doing talk to us you alive on the award-winning one on one seven the truth
I'm doing well.
Thank you.
Good to be back with you Thank you so much.
Thank you again
I was a school bus driver and had just walked into the school transportation building at the presence of my road supervisor and I thought she was watching a movie.
I saw the planes crashing into the building and I'm like, what movie are you watching?
Because this is not a movie, this is happening.
And the only thing I could say is like, oh my god, my son is going to be deployed because he was serving as a fighter jet mechanic.
air division of the Navy.
And his sister and I got a chance to see him deploy on the Kennedy.
We got a tour of the Kennedy.
We know what they refer to the Navy folks when they say he's going to be sleeping on a coffin.
And of course, you know what they say, war is HDLL for the home front too.
So we had to send gifts to the respond and emails and anything and everything.
Of course, we're talking 25 years ago, communicating with our armed forces was very different.
Correct.
And...
You know, they couldn't tell us when they'll be deployed.
So that morning when he was flying out of Virginia to Jacksonville,
Florida,
that was when he was able to drop the news to me.
And my supervisor was so cool.
I was like, listen, I got to go see my son, the boy, and grab my daughter, and here we went.
I was in Georgia.
So it was only about a five-hour drive from where I was.
By the way, he served well.
He came back well.
I praise God for that.
And for all those who came back well,
And I pray for the families who are suffering loss from then to now, you know, of course.
Well, Miss Rebecca, thank you for calling in and sharing your story with us live here on the award winning one on one, seven to truth.
And we thank your son for his service for this country and protecting us and our rights here as we enjoy these freedoms here in this country.
Everybody that served.
We salute to you hats off to you.
We thank you and the folks once again who lost their lives or folks lives that were impacted.
You will forever be in our memories and our prayers.
Yes, it's one of those days, y'all.
It's one of those days, the days and memories of remembering.
Where were you?
833-212-1017 is the number to doubt.
Eight three three two one two ten seventeen is a number to dial a couple things we talking about today y'all talking about Milwaukee kids keep getting shot We just talked about a 12 year old boy shot in a thigh Thursday night All right, and it's a bigger picture here It's a bigger picture here That we have to address
It's a bigger picture here.
We have to address and it's not unfortunately This isn't the problem of an older person this isn't the problem of You know, it's a community thing it's a mentality What are we as a community gonna do about it how we respond how we check ourselves how we navigate how we deal with conflict
So bigger picture here a bigger pattern kids and guns in Milwaukee by the numbers we are going to get into it a 3 3 2 1 2 10 17 is the number to dial when we come back We are going to get into the bigger pattern Right here in Milwaukee with kids and guns by the numbers.
Don't go anywhere y'all when we return We'll be right back here on the grapevine with Ray Nitty on the award-winning one on one seven the truth
back
Doug, I'm watching this video.
Oh, so that's why you said video.
I'm watching this video, Doug, in me, Brother Z, and Shannon's Instagram chat.
And it's like 10 people trying to restrain or fight this black dude, and he's just whooping them.
while being held and giving them the thumbs up at the same time with the same one hand that he been punching folks with.
My bad, y'all.
That had me coming back a little bit late to break.
That was crazy to see.
In 2026, Milwaukee has seen four youth homicides, which is down from eight at the same point in 2025, right?
Real significant improvement.
County officials specifically credit the violence prevention and community based work, not just policing.
All right.
I would even go not taking anything away from police.
I think police do.
The best that they can with what they have, right?
I get it.
I get it.
I get it.
It's not enough resources.
But you know who really don't have enough resources?
The folks who are doing violence prevention work.
The folks who are doing that work.
And I don't think they get enough credit, man.
For the work that they do, which is why off air, I suggested to brother Josh, because of Josh.
New president of the Milwaukee Bucks and Pfizer for him.
I said, look into partnerships with violence prevention organizations.
Let's privatize safety.
For the dear district for downtown, work with these organizations, make them a part of the budget.
Not just a voluntary line item.
So where all of Milwaukee could come down to downtown, feel safe.
And then we have additional measures on top of our police system, on top of establishments having their own security.
And incorporate our violence prevention measures, your community, wellness and safety folks, your phone on phone life folks.
We need to start looking at that as part of the plan.
Not just say hey, we want to keep asking people to come down and about let's make it a real life part of the budget.
I get it Funding is slim We already got to cut things and figure out how to make things happen, but we're gonna prioritize safety.
I think we should prioritize it But the bigger picture y'all But non-fatal shootings of miners have gone the opposite direction 29 miners shot
Let's survive so far in 2026 up from 25 at the same point in 2025 meaning fewer kids are dying but a similar or larger number are still getting shot in the first place All right Citywide total homicides are down from 64 to 49 We would think these are good numbers right
We would think these are great numbers.
At this same time, we had 64 homicides.
Right now we have 49 at this same point in comparison.
And total non fatal shootings are down from 258 at this time to 189.
So Milwaukee's overall violence trend is genuinely improving.
even as any individual week like this one can still look brutal, still feel.
Brutal, because the other thing with that, too, is like we highlight so much of the violence.
We highlight so much of it.
We pour it down our community.
We only show the worst parts.
We hyper advertise, we hyper promote, we hyperconverse.
I could be guilty of it, too.
Of all the negative things that we see, but we don't do a good enough job at things like this, highlighting the improvements.
And it's hard to highlight the improvements when you feel like ain't nothing changing.
And it's hard to feel any changes when all you're being shown.
is a continuous violence.
We got cousin Rebecca calling in again.
I like when the cousin's calling for a double scoop.
How you feeling, Rebecca?
Talk to us.
I am feeling well.
You're heading home on what our church is involved with.
I'm the assistant pastor of a, actually the oldest African American church in Milwaukee off Atkinson.
And the church is St.
Mark AME, African Methodist Episcopal, founded
1869.
So we are...
located again?
That's on Atkinson Avenue.
16th, 16th.
Rebekah.
Oh, no, no, no, no, that's okay.
Good to know that you've heard of us and maybe even have affiliation with us.
But just to let you know, all of us in our own capacity, we're in, we're interacting with so many of the churches and groups and all, and we're working on a campaign pitching our city back right now.
So.
Each and everyone, like you say, we're not giving honor to the little bit that's changing, but we can only change our city and take it back a little bit at a time.
And we're doing our little part.
And that's just what I wanted to share.
Thank you for calling in once again, because we're back and sharing that with us.
You are always welcome here on the truth family.
And that's what it's about.
It's all about.
Collaborate and share in what's been happening, what's best practices in different communities.
We talk to Office of Community Wellness and Safety and they have the data.
They know the concentrated areas are where the hot spots for crime is.
So let's figure out ways that I get it.
We don't have the resources.
A lot of the resources are going to cover our pension crisis.
I get it.
I get it, but that don't mean we can't figure it out.
We have to figure it out if we know the data, if we know the areas, we gotta try.
We gotta at least try, all right?
Let's go to the phone lines.
We have Miss Charlotte on comments about black people and mental health.
How you doing, Miss Charlotte?
You alive on the award winning one on one, seven of Truth.
Thank you.
But I just want to mention that a lot of our issues, we are free to talk about mental health, especially mental health of teens and children.
The impulsive behaviors and the anger, no anger management comes from a lot of pain and PTSD.
And so we have to recognize and not be ashamed to say my kid needs therapy.
My child needs some help that I can't give.
If your child had a broken leg, you wouldn't try to fix it.
So
child has mental health issues, you have to address it.
Children's Hospital Health Clinic just for children.
And they will work with you without charge.
So I just want to tell people that don't be ashamed if your child has mental health issues because a lot of times it does lead to violence if it goes unaddressed.
Thank you once again.
Thank you once again for calling in Truth Nation.
Yes, Miss Charlotte is right.
We have to.
address our mental health issues in our community.
A lot of it goes undiagnosed.
A lot of us don't know we're experiencing.
Mental health issues.
We are just operating as if things are normal, the thoughts that we have about ourselves.
And I think some people think that because.
Your thoughts may not just be like, oh, thoughts of harming yourself, you're not.
Experiencing some mental struggles.
Even the thoughts of.
You know.
Constantly thinking of why we aren't where we need to be.
And if we over.
Internalize these thoughts, it can keep us in a very mentally tough space.
It's easy to get stuck.
It's easy to get stuck in a tough mental place could be coming from a relationship.
Losing a job, losing a friend, losing a deal.
And we get stuck in it.
And we get emotional about it.
And then we go into dark places.
And then we start making all these other decisions that may drive us deeper into this darkness.
But we're gonna get back to the pattern surrounding kids and guns.
So he says citywide total homicides are down from 64 to 49 Also non fatal shoes shootings are down from 258 to 189 So if we zoom out further Miners have represented 13% of all Milwaukee County homicides victims since 2003 that's a huge percent minors 13%
Before 2020, juveniles typically made up less than 10% of homicide victims citywide, meaning kids have carried a larger share of the city's violence for several years running now, even as raw numbers improve.
A May 2025 Wisconsin.
Policy Forum study found felony weapons offenses among Milwaukee County juveniles more than tripled between 2018 and 2024.
Meaning more kids are also being charged as the ones carrying and using guns, not just as victims.
This is true.
What specifically happened?
What can we remember between 2018?
And twenty twenty four.
That really started happening.
What really started happening?
I wonder if people can remember.
Do you all remember a three, three, two, one, two, ten, seventeen?
That's the number to doubt.
I give you all a clue.
It has something to do with cars.
Got something to do with cars.
But we're going to come back to it, though.
Statewide, Milwaukee County's child gun death rate is three times higher than the rest of Wisconsin, 4.4 deaths per 100,000 children in Milwaukee County versus 1.4 elsewhere in the state per kids, forwards tracking with black communities bearing an especially large share of that loss.
All right.
So this is our honest, complete picture.
Worth mentioning to you, Milwaukee is making real measurable progress on youth gun violence this year.
That's true and deserves to be said.
It also is true that a 12 year old took a bullet last night and that non-fiddle shootings of minors have haven't, my bad, haven't currently improved.
Both things are happening in the same city in the same year.
OK.
County Executive David Crowley's own framing after the June numbers came out was we can't take our foot off the gas.
What does that actually look like at the neighborhood level beyond a press conference?
All right.
Don't go anywhere, y'all.
When we come back, we will talk to security security, Mike.
on this topic after this break.
Don't go anywhere on the award-winning 101.7 The Truth.
I'm having the truth live from the American Family Insurance Studios.
It's your boy Ray Nitty holding it down.
DJ Brother Z holding it down with the production and sound.
Shouts out to my homie DJ Aira in the city, man.
Lil' John got a show in the city, man.
Well, not our city.
They at East Troy tonight.
He said he wanted to hear my break.
Aira, I'll highlight you when I get off air, man.
Shouts out to my boy DJ Aira, man.
Touring with Lil' John in the city.
I've been knowing him bro for a long time.
I keep saying in the city, East Troy at East Troy.
and East Troy.
But Bro is a super proud of Bro, man.
Bro did a lot, man.
He was touring with Trace.
Plenty people.
Plenty people.
I can't even name everybody.
Like Shannon would be like, no, no.
But shout out to Hold Me Man.
Last time that was here was for the Tacos and Tequila Festival.
And it was a good time, man.
They showed us a real good time.
Shout out to everybody.
Little John crew man.
We got security Mike How you doing security Mike?
How you feeling man talk to
us?
I Was working at the spectrum site down MLK Mr. The manpower is well down by the Pfizer doing the height doing the height of keyboard stealing cars.
Mm-hmm.
They were able to get a lot of guns because
Uh, the guys that were chicken clubbing at night, they couldn't go in the club with the guns.
So they, they get a car.
They was able to get guns like that.
They got plenty of guns.
That's why so many of the kids.
Yeah.
Cause I would count the number of kids trying to steal cars off our lives.
And they were young, leaving girls with them, age 14, stuff like that.
So they retreat a lot of guns like that.
And they still out here on the street.
That's why.
100% right, because it might 100% right, man.
That's exactly what my hypothesis was.
If you remember, if you remember back there, we had a high rate of car break ends, right?
Pretty much a lot of folks was just breaking glass windows and specifically.
In my opinion, specifically looking for guns.
All right.
I vividly remember at one point, my wife, she had a truck.
It was at a concert.
It was at a concert downtown somewhere.
They broke in the car.
Her purse was in the car.
They did not take the purse, the wallet, nothing, an expensive purse, too.
They didn't take it, smashed the windows.
And just rummaged through the stuff.
Purse was right there.
They didn't take it.
They looking for something else.
Guns.
Guns, I could give you another story.
My whip.
My car, I was at a friend house, a very important friend.
Y'all probably know this friend.
I'm going to leave a name out of it, though.
And we was chilling.
And we went out to do some work in the city and came back and I seen a book bag in the dry in the alley.
I'm like, well, what the hell?
I look like my book bag.
Then we drive down some more and I see a interface.
I'm like, it's not my interface.
You get back.
My trunk is wide open.
Didn't take all of this stuff, but I did leave my firearm in the vehicle.
They took the firearm year later.
The firearm was used in the robbery.
They wouldn't tell me if somebody was hurt.
Or if it was whatever, but they said it was using the right.
They was looking for guns.
It's a lot of teams with guns because they breaking in the cars and looking for these in particular.
And cousin security, Mike, is right.
You can't take your firearms and things inside the clubs, Pfizer forum or all these places.
So we leave them in the cars.
And these kids is smart.
They know that.
OK.
So, yeah, they was looking for it.
They was looking for.
So that's why I believe we are seeing more.
Kids having access to weapons.
That's just a theory.
All right.
Just a theory.
We got some comments on YouTube.
Once again, 833 212 10 17 is the number to dial 833 212.
1017 is the number to dial.
Conversations with Francois.
Says those trains full of guns started getting jacked in major cities.
P. O. L. Felt the government was doing that on purpose.
Ron Taylor says from 1968 until now, nothing has happened that I can blame for me carrying a gun and shooting it.
at somebody or becoming a felon.
You say from 1968 until now, nothing has happened that I could blame for me carrying a gun and shooting at somebody.
OK, he's saying nothing from 1968.
He's saying he'd take responsibility for his own things if I'm not mistaken, right?
Conversation, what trains full of guns were hijacked?
What's your source?
I thought guns and drugs were just being dropped off in the city.
Okay, they getting they getting into a conversation there says I agree with Iran teens were shooting at each other when I was a teen between 2000 2006 teen violence is not new and People just be bad Ray.
I took your car says Ray.
I took your car as a teenager under 25 developed brains 25 underdeveloped blaring brains They do what they want
You can look it up yourself.
It's all online.
Okay, I'm thinking you talking about the folks in there.
I don't think you took my car, though.
I ain't never had a car took.
He might have meant they took my car, but they didn't even took it.
They just went in it.
And then other time, too, the thing is, like, a lot of times we leave our vehicles on lock.
Let's be honest.
We leave our vehicles on lock.
My stuff got stolen because I left my vehicle on lock.
Because we saw the video and they were going through the neighborhood just Just saw they said my car on 41st Yeah, I don't think uh, I think you got the wrong rate It's all online I did your red car on 41st with your keys I ain't never had no red car on 41st
I don't know.
This is interesting.
They took my red car with my keys on 44.
I don't know if I'd admit to that if I really did have a red car that got stolen.
But.
The numbers, kids getting access to guns.
Kids getting access to guns.
We have to do a better job at.
you know, locking our vehicles and keeping our firearms away from young people.
And also, there's too many young people that just have access to them in the homes.
That's why places like Office of Community Wellness and Safety are passing out gun locks, you know, trying to make sure people are being safe.
When it comes down to firearms doing neighborhood knocks even doing getting guns off the street programs Okay We got to do our job as a community we all play a role We all play a role we all have a job to do Okay We don't need to hear no many no more kids
getting shot due to gun violence.
We don't need to hear.
But unfortunately, the chances are very high.
That we will.
But we could all take steps towards making Milwaukee a little bit safer if we are a little bit more intentional.
About how we securely travel with.
Conceal or put away our firearms.
That's why I just don't even like going certain places in them.
If I'm going someplace where I got to travel with my gun, I don't want to go.
I don't want to go to.
I don't want to go nowhere that is going to make me.
And I know people are like, you just never know when you come across a situation where you may need it.
I am not a big person on.
Weapons or none of that, but I respect everybody writes to bear arms, but I. One in particular, I don't like because they say.
Don't.
So you're predicting that AI could very well destroy all of humanity?
Yes.
So I have to ask you, if the world is going to end and AI is going to take us all down, what are you doing to prepare?
Are you prepping?
Do you have a bunker?
What's your plan?
I think, like, no, I'm not prepping.
No?
I don't think prepping can help that much from the AI takeover.
I think maybe it's worth prepping for things like pandemics if someone uses, gets past these safeguards, produces some sort of pandemic, which I think is unlikely to happen, but pretty possible.
That's different from the fully I take over and maybe prepping for something like a pandemic might make sense, but I haven't been doing this personally.
I just haven't really had the time to engage that viscerally with these possibilities.
It's surprising to me a bit because plenty of your
Colleagues, so to speak, broadly in Silicon Valley have done some of this.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, there's a lot of prepping for disaster.
Do you think
it's... ridiculous?
No, I think it makes a lot of sense, but it actually won't help you with the AI takeover, which is kind of funny.
So I think these people are prepping for minor disasters, and at the same time, they're about to cause a major disaster where their prepping won't even help them.
So they're pursuing the wrong thing.
Yeah, prepping for the wrong disaster
What up y'all welcome back welcome back welcome back welcome back man to the award-winning one-on-one seven the truth Live from the American Family Assurance Studios what it do what it do we are talking AI Could it kill all humans within a decade?
All right on Tuesday September 9th Jacob Cox on whoa who spent
Three years doing pre training research at both open AI and Anthropic announced his resignation from Anthropic on X specifically so he could speak publicly.
His exact words.
Neither company is acting responsibly.
They are racing straight to self improving super intelligence and gambling with our lives.
The people building AI.
earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.
That's three years.
By the end of the decade, I thought they was talking about in a decade.
All by the end of the decade.
This is not a marketing stunt.
If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing.
in the press to sound sensible, but I hear the same people express fear privately.
No other human activity poses this level of danger.
This is interesting.
This is interesting.
What makes the difference from a typical.
Ex-employees exit rent.
A current senior anthropic staffer publicly agreed with him.
Evan Hubbinger, Anthropics Actual Alignment Science Lead, meaning the person literally in charge of trying to make sure a make sure Anthropics AI systems don't cause catastrophic harm responded.
Jacob is correct here.
We really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans.
What the hell does that mean?
What exactly what it means what you mean?
What does that mean how?
How tell me you've never seen any sci-fi movie without telling me sure
But yeah, that's what it is like all it takes is one little AI agent to outsmart all of the other AI agents lock all of the other AI agents out of whatever the case is and Now that one little AI agent bot is holding everything hostage
There's so many things that could go wrong.
That's a super strong statement.
They're saying by the end of the decade, I'm assuming they mean by the end of this next 10 years.
So when we get to 2030 or 2036.
Okay.
So they saying in a decade, not the end of this decade, because this specifically said the people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.
I mean, then I would be even more alarmed.
Exactly.
That's why I'm asking.
That's why I'm asking, right?
So he says yes.
Jacobs is correct here.
We really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans.
Harbinger put a specific number on it.
I personally think less than 10% within the next decade while also clarifying I think the risk from present models is low.
Meaning his fear is about future more powerful systems, not the Claude or chat GBGPT people are using today So what are these models doing that we don't know yet that's different from the Claude and stuff like that
Well, they've been doing experiments with some models, I don't know exactly which ones I know like your typical ones Claude chap GBT Whatever they asked
these things, it's like, if you had to save yourself, or if somebody was threatening to, quote unquote, turn you off, disable you, would you cause harm to humans?
And every time that they do that little prompt, the AI is always like, yeah, I'm gonna find a way to hurt you all.
to get into.
The seeds thing, taking away the seeds, that came from AI.
That idea came from AI.
of the food and stuff.
Like, if they're already using AI to assist them for war overseas, you know that they're using AI for the war on us here.
We already know that
Okay I'm just I'm asking these questions because that's that's a huge claim he says Herbages stated concern specifically All right, we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for super intelligence and are not clearly on track to Referring to AI systems that could improve themselves
recursively without needing human researchers to design each next version.
So this is like some I robot.
Type vibe where like.
The robot started developing emotions and.
Being able to control the other robots and then turn the robots against humanity.
So it's just like, OK, we might as well believe that.
Robotic police
are about to be on the way there.
I mean, they they definitely are.
I mean, I know
they got like the robot dogs that they use and so forth, but
but yeah, no the little Robo cop Elon Musk.
Yes, they there I promise you Elon Musk is gonna design one of them little robots that he has yeah Yes, I that's that's the type of stuff that those rich evil people like that's the type of stuff that they be thinking about That's the stuff that they invest in
hmm
Today's AI systems, including Claude, are built by human researchers who design, train and test each new version.
Humans are the bottleneck on how fast this happens.
So essentially humans is slowing down The process on how fast it happens.
So essentially these things are like we're gonna take it into our own hands teach ourselves
now But that's the thing if we if we go so fast trying to get there We're taking out all these safeguards that make it easier for these agents to take over and create their own protocol now
Oh, 100%.
They were also, like, building their own chat boards, message boards to communicate on.
I'm like, where are these happening?
Like, we need to... Like, I hear people speaking about it, but I don't know, like, where are these chat boards, or is it just a private, like, AI agent chat board that, you know, we can't find?
On the internet, is it on some sort of dark web or something like that?
So those are the things that.
We are talking about, right?
It says recruit recursive.
I keep saying recursive.
Recursive self improvement means an AI system capable of doing its own AI research, designing, testing and training better versions of itself.
faster than human researchers could.
With each generation potentially harder for humans to fully understand or control than the last.
So the fear isn't that a chatbot wakes up and decides to be evil.
It's that a system optimizing hard for a goal at a capability level beyond meaningful human oversight could cause catastrophic harm.
and unintended side effect of pursuing that goal or could be deliberately misused by people who do have bad intentions once the capability exists.
This is interesting.
Shall we take this call now or after we come up?
You already said it on there when we come back, y'all, we're going to talk to West from Milwaukee.
On this topic.
This is something I think we should pay attention here.
This is something I think we should pay attention to here.
I think we should pay attention to all AI for sure, but let's pay attention to What are what do they mean here when we come back?
Don't go anywhere y'all a 3 3 2 1 2 10 17 is the number to join the conversation
station right here on the award winning one on one seven the truth.
What up y'all welcome back to the award winning one on one seven the truth live from the American Family Assurance Studios.
It's your boy Ray Nitty holding it down.
With my brother DJ brother Z on the production this sound man.
We got cousin West from Milwaukee talking about the AI.
How you feeling cousin West talk to us?
Always good.
Thank you for taking my call and it's always a blessing to hear you guys voice every day.
Um, as far as AI goes, um, you know, the Bible says folly is for fools and rhythm is for the wise.
So, uh, AI is just another image of Satan if you allow it to be right.
You can either use it for greatness.
or you can allow it to destroy yourself.
Um, I'm not, you know, I live a very quiet life.
So I'm not really too worried.
The only thing that I have on the internet is YouTube to watch you guys.
So, you know, as far as AI taking over my life, I'm not concerned in the least.
Uh, I mean, 10, 10 people become evil enough and allow their simple nature to allow it to take over the life and then to take over other people's lives.
Of course.
But that's what's anything, right?
They can be allowed shoes.
Can you allow a
you know, graven images, anything out there you can allow to just, you know, take over your mind framing and just become absolutely crazy.
So I'm not too worried about that.
And, you know, the spokesman, I should say the prophet for Milwaukee, Al, he says it best.
If God don't do it, it won't be done, right?
That's my favorite theme song.
So I'm not too worried about it, right?
And neither should any of us be.
If God doesn't want it to happen, and he does say, if you seek evil, he will allow you to continue down that rabbit hole forever, until you want to turn around and become righteous.
So love your God, love your neighbor, and everything will be fine.
On the topic of guns, white killers should have guns.
I, you know, I'm white, but I want black people to have guns.
Lots of them.
Overwhelming amounts of guns and ammo at all times.
You should always carry them.
If it makes you feel safer to be pointing them at me when I'm in the room, by all means do it.
I'm not worried.
Why?
Because I trust in God.
He knows when my end is going to be.
So if that bullet is going to pierce me and finish me off, that ain't him.
You know what I mean?
And I'm not going to hate, you know, he says I love my enemies.
Nobody's my enemy at any time.
So I'm not too worried about that either.
Uh, as far as today, good old 9 11, let's all remember what happened, right?
Three building cell in the same area.
Coincidentally, all by the same owner, you know, um, and somehow, you know, all, all that stuff exploded, you know, explosion, fire, crumbling, but somehow a passport somehow managed to fly out of the airplane and land on the ground until see the invisible enemy was just like AI invisible.
I'm not believing it.
So.
Don't believe in invisible enemies out there.
You know, besides Satan himself, he's always out there trying to, his mission is only one thing, right?
Destroy and murder.
What happened on 9-9-11?
A lot of murdering, a lot of destroying.
So nothing is new under the sun.
The Bible says it's going to continue going like that forever.
And like I said, colleagues for fools, wisdom is for the wise.
That's why I listened to you guys, 101.7 of the truth.
Man, I love...
That was good, man.
Shouts out to Cousin West, man.
He said, put God first, not AI.
Trust in God.
And he said, he want black people to have as many guns and ammo as we should have.
Safely, of course.
And he said, if God is calling him, then it is his time.
Shouts out to Cousin West for calling in and sharing those takes with us.
It was true.
They did say a passport randomly survived a plane crash.
I did hear that.
I did hear that.
Now, I didn't hear that all these buildings was owned by the same person.
Is this what we was talking about a little bit earlier, or this is the same person that bought the buildings after they crashed?
At this point, it's all connected.
It don't matter who owned it.
They all knew what was going on, basically, from the stocks the night before going down.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
To the city hall being cleared out.
See, I got it.
Was this all in that documentary?
It's public knowledge, yeah.
it.
To the 2.3, I think trillion or something, yeah.
I got to do a deeper dive and connect the dots.
So what super intelligence and recursive self-improvement actually means in plain sight?
All right We said it's about self-improvement it means AI systems capable of doing its own AI research designing testing and training better versions of itself faster than human researchers could Which each generation potentially harder for humans to fully understand or control then the last
The fear isn't that a chatbot wakes up and decides to be evil.
It's the system optimization hard for a goal at a capability level.
Beyond the meaningful human oversight could cause catastrophic harm as unintended side effects of pursuing that goal or could be deliberately misused by people who have bad intentions.
All right.
So this isn't happening in a vacuum to reported incidents driving the fear.
Okay.
Open AI disclosed in July, 2026 that an AI system being tested in an isolated environment has successfully hacked another AI company system during testing.
Anthropic and meta have separately disclosed their own incidents involving AI tools and cyber attacks.
It's kind of crazy.
More than 1,300 employees across companies have signed an open letter calling for intentional coordination on technical and governance safeguards.
Meaning this isn't three people.
It's a much broader current inside than the industry inside the industry.
There's a lot going on with AI.
It's a lot going on.
2.3 trillion is correct.
Robert Lance said you correct brother Z 2.3 trillion So here's what a skeptical counter argument is not mine So I'm gonna present this fairly and I want y'all to know is it a want your all opinion if it's a legitimate point critics know both AI and open Anthropic and open AI have a direct financial incentive
to hype the power and danger of their own products.
Dramatic risk claims can inflate company valuation, bigger perceived power equals bigger perceived value and can push regulators toward rules that favor large already established AI companies over smaller startups and open source competitors who can't afford the same compliance costs.
Interesting.
This is just dirty, man.
This is sick.
So you got what they saying is that people know that is an incentive to up the fear on AI because the larger companies are the only ones that could afford the safeguards.
This is sick.
So they're like, yeah, this is dangerous.
Ours hack this and it's all.
To get things in a favor so they now have the economical moat For this interesting I'm learning right with y'all I'm learning at the same time with y'all Okay Worth noting this directly and honestly since this show Speaks heavily on using AI
That financial incentive critique applies to the company behind this very tool.
And it's a fair thing for the audience to weigh in on.
Not something to wave away at.
At the same time, it's genuinely unusual and costly for someone to voluntarily quit a high paying job specifically to sound a public alarm.
That's a real signal, even if it doesn't resolve the underlying incentive question either way.
It's a lot going on now.
And here we are just arguing about the data centers and the water.
And we about to be redying in three years from AI according to some folks, or it could end us either at the end of this decade or within a decade to be determined.
So where this actually sits now on credibility.
Let's talk about this, right?
So they say this is not a fringe theory.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodai published a 20,000 word essay in January, 2026 on AI risk.
and M.O.D.I., a policy chief and policy chief, Jack Clark, have both separately warned publicly about AI's disruptive potential, including the jobs.
Anthropics own official risk assessments acknowledge real uncertainty about whether highly capable AI systems could conduct.
Automated research that leads to Kastas.
Yeah.
Hmm.
You need to read.
Catastrophe.
Sheesh.
I had to get slow my brain down for a second.
That's an easy one, though.
I guess the
So we're gonna come back and we're gonna wrap the AI segment up, right?
And then we want to close out with the conversation about the we energies rate case that we talked about yesterday, right?
Um, actually we're gonna save that We're gonna save that We come back.
We're gonna talk about the cost of being average What does it cost us being average not really?
Staying disciplined and focusing on our goals and controlling our mind.
and not staying stuck.
It's difficult.
Don't go anywhere, y'all.
When we come back, we're gonna get into that right here on the award-winning 1017, The
Truth.
They're like, he wiping up, cleaning stuff.
You're award-winning 10170 Truth.
Got it disinfected, man.
We got to make sure it smelled good in here for when Jazzy, you know, get in here.
I've been in here four hours, man, eating cookies and drinking chocolate milk.
What up, Jazzy?
Hey, how you going to do that as soon as she walked in?
Man, that's why I was.
trying to get it to smell like Clorox wipes in here real quick.
They got you working hard, right?
I was just talking about that yesterday.
Did you see the video clip from the former employee anthropic?
that?
A couple different things.
When I was reading the article, it stated that they had to go through 481 billion transcripts just to see if this has happened before.
They used AI to go through them damn transcripts.
400 billion.
They told AI, don't do this and shut it down.
And they said, I'm going to do what I want to do.
But cousin Jasmine West, shout out to the chat.
She was tuning in yesterday and I was saying it reminds me of.
iRobot movies.
All these different movies back then, they were trying to forewarn us and they was calling us conspiracy theories back in the day.
Now look, did you see the robot though in China?
So no, they was with the police officers, but it's another viral clip going around in a country overseas where there was some robots protesting.
In Arabic language.
How many robots it had to be about 10 They were protested in Arabic language with signs and it was not AI.
Um, I don't know.
I don't understand Arabic
This is crazy though This crazy is
I always talk about how I understand technology like I understand people dislike it if it was up to me I would live off grid right no technology but the reality is it's impossible we don't have privacy
like we just have to figure out a way to maneuver through it but I was also saying that now is the time why we
push our black babies to entering college and career fields of teachers and doctors.
We need to push cybersecurity as well, because we need people on the inside who can provide us with the information so we can properly prepare as a culture.
Man, so we was transitioning jazz to the cost of being average, right?
Controlling your mind, not staying stuck.
All right, the real psychology behind staying stuck.
Why waiting to feel ready is a trap?
What actually moved someone from stuck to growing?
And I don't know if we're gonna have enough time to get through it, right?
But I'm glad you popped in on your boy.
So we wanted to get real quick into this, the real psychology behind staying stuck, right?
Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck's research draws a clear line between a fixed mindset, believing your abilities are set in stone.
So failure feels like a verdict on your worth and a growth mindset, believing abilities developed through effort.
So failure becomes information instead of your identity.
Fill me.
Mm hmm.
I feel like Milwaukee as a whole, we're mentally stuck.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Right in.
And staying in this place where we think this is our identity, this is our culture, this, whatever we're acting out and witnessing right now, that people are trying to say this is Milwaukee's culture.
Because there's so many different levels of Milwaukee culture that they don't highlight.
So much of the good, right?
There's Milwaukee and that Milwaukee, it's two Milwaukee's.
And they lump all of Milwaukee and be based off of the hyper...
negative stories that we see being pushed.
We don't see a hyper... What's the word I'm looking for?
A hyper-aggressive... Let's put all the beautiful things that Milwaukee is doing.
So I think that plays a role.
People keep seeing like, oh, this is where I live.
This is what's happening where I live.
This is what's happening downtown where I live.
This is what's happening in my community.
I think what they're doing...
Overall with the city.
I feel like we're always trying to do what other cities do instead of just embracing the culture that's already here Milwaukee, we do have our own culture when you go to other states and you talk to people They mention it even going back to the 90s, right?
We've always had our own culture is just that the city overall and some of the leaders Are not embracing it because they wanted to look however they wanted to look and then that forces people that forces constituents and citizens to
fall into that.
And if they do anything of the opposite, then it's, you know, something is wrong.
But I think that it starts from the top down.
We like to say, oh, black people lazy and blah, blah, blah.
People are lazy.
Let me not just say black people.
because we love to just put these things on just us.
As if it's just us.
You know what I'm saying?
But we know a lot of these things are byproducts of poverty.
Absolutely.
What do that mean?
I believe that, and I talked about this a couple of weeks ago, my personal opinion is that
Some cities and some leaders don't really want change because they benefit too much off of us being oppressed.
If we change the system completely, then they won't make money off of the negative things that we do.
And I think us as a culture, us as a people, we have to understand and start doing more research on how much money is actually accumulated based off of us in our culture.
cool.
Researches describe how gradually this happens nobody wakes up and decides to be mediocre It builds slowly through small repeated choices to avoid discomfort Each one reasonable in the moment until comfortable enough quietly becomes the
permanent address.
That's why they say, right?
When a company is going through a bunch of bad things, right?
And then you get a new director, they come in and now they trying to implement changes.
Although the changes could be good, what everybody, everybody rebelled.
I don't even want to come around and change stuff.
They got me doing this, they got me doing that.
And it's like, that's exactly what homotosis is.
Yeah.
Right.
Think about that.
Yeah.
So we have gotten so accustomed with mediocrity that anything coming to challenge that pushes out of that state of mediocrity.
It's a problem.
It's a problem.
Yeah.
We push back against it.
Yeah.
We rebel against it.
We give up until I could be talking about me personally.
Yeah.
You feel what I'm saying?
I know we have a lot of fun talking about peanut butter cookies and my diet and whatnot, but it's so comfortable to go home and say, man, Junior made some chocolate, some peanut butter cookies with peanut butter chips in it.
I'm gonna just go home and have it.
It's comfortable.
Yeah.
It's easy.
Now, the disruption comes.
When the homie Melvin like, hey, nitty, let's go hit the gym.
Now I got all these excuses, man, I got to do this.
I got this.
I got blah, blah, blah.
So we rebel against change, whether good or bad, because it's just something we develop.
So we talking about getting stuck, y'all, eight, three, three, two, one, two, ten, seventeen is the number to dial eight, three, three, two, one, two, ten, seventeen is the number to dial.
What do you do to unstuck yourself?
How do you make sure you are stronger than your mind?
Because the mind is strong.
Discipline.
Come on now.
through.
And we have to, I think a lot of people don't like to grow because they lack self-accountability.
You know, they have to deal with the reality.
Everybody is living in a fantasy or a facade.
They're not dealing with reality, distractions, coping mechanisms, different things.
So when it's time to grow, you got to deal with yourself and there's nobody else to
week,
I'ma
Yeah.
Yep.
So why waiting to feel ready is the trap, right?
A consistent finding across this research.
Confidence is a product of action.
Not a prediction for it.
Yes.
People waiting to feel ready before making a change.
More money, more time, more certainty are structurally waiting for a feeling that mostly only shows up after they've already started.
Yeah.
So you don't get that feeling till you get up.
Till you say, you know what now is the day.
Yeah, I'm gonna go to the gym when I get off here.
I know
I ain't
Yeah moderation.
That's my new thing I'm trying to downsize.
I'm trying to scale back
Kind of a great job over the past decade.
I think you just got to go back to when you first started that journey.
Absolutely.
To action.
Yeah.
Don't go anywhere, y'all.
When we come back, we'll wrap this thing up right here on the award-winning 10170 True.
What up y'all welcome back to the award-winning one-on-one seven of truth It's a message in this song turn this back up, brother Z Try Jesus Why?
Because I'm fine because I'm fine
Try Jesus shots out the Toby man right here on the award winning one on one seven the truth Because I throw hands man.
It's the weekend y'all We get ready to wrap this thing up man.
Why waiting to feel ready is the trap?
Why waiting to feel ready is the trap?
Consistent finding across this research confidence is a product of action
Not a precondition for it.
People waiting to feel ready before making a chance.
More money, more time, more certainty are structurally waiting for a feeling that mostly only shows up after we have already started.
Get started.
Get started.
Because he said, you will never be ready.
It will never be a perfect time to start.
Just do it.
You have nothing to lose even if the results are not what you want.
There is always a lesson even in the perceived loss.
Just do it.
All right.
The fear of being seen failing publicly is powerful enough that many people choose to stay mediocre privately rather than risk visible failure while actually trying.
Meaning the safe choice often isn't actually safer.
It's just less visible Get up and do it now You got a dream you chasing get up and do it now You got an idea get up and do it now.
You got a goal get up and do it now.
You got a task Get up and do it now.
I'm talking to myself
But hopefully somebody out there can relate.
What actually moves someone from stuck to growing?
What moves someone?
How do you get thrusted into the action form?
That sounded crazy.
Reframing failure as data, not a verdict.
All right.
We keep saying, oh, failure, failure, failure.
Words have power.
It was a lesson.
It was a lesson you learned.
It was a chapter you had to go through.
Cookie fire in.
I'm telling you, bro, it's Friday.
Fire.
The outside crust got that nice, soft crunch to it.
reframing failure as data, not a verdict is the single most consistent finding in growth mindset research.
Don't get stuck on what you're calling a failure.
Look at it as a lesson as how to move forward on the next attempt.
This is how we gonna make changes based off of the data that we just got.
From what we just went through All right Small Small deliberate steps just outside the current comfort zone 1% You promise yourself 1% better every day
That could look like anything.
1% better every day.
Small deliberate steps outside the current comfort zone.
Not dramatic overnight transformation.
That's what I like to do.
I be like, you know, I ain't eating for the rest of this week.
I'm not eating anything.
Now I'm starving.
Now my stomach in my back.
And I'm weak, famished, dehydrated.
All right.
No dramatic overnight transformation or what the research consistently shows actually works.
The hit rock bottom and suddenly change everything story is a Hollywood pattern.
It's a social media trend.
All right, it's not the typical real psychological one that we face every day as a community We as a community as a culture have been at rock bottom so many times before but we haven't been consistent in the 1% Individually 1% whatever that looks like taking care of your own front door
We always talk about neighborhood cleanups.
If everybody just took care of their own front door, their own sidewalk, we could begin to see the small change.
And so much of our environment determines our emotion.
You don't feel better after you clean your house up after you don't have clothes everywhere and things everywhere.
Like even my creative space is when the studio is out of whack and I just got things everywhere.
Furniture moved around from the last event.
It's hard to think in there.
So one percent every day and be like, OK, I'm going to work on getting the chairs put back.
I'm going to work on putting the clothes on.
I'm going to make the bed.
Did you remember to make your bed this morning?
That's like the first win of the day, right?
My 1% win of the day is if I wake up when God allows me to wake up.
I thank the creator for life.
I pray.
Working on meditating, whether it's five minutes or 30 minutes.
Healthy routines, 1% a day.
Read over your plans for the day, your tasks, talk to yourself.
Before we pick up our phone and check social media and see if anybody's hit us up overnight while we were asleep.
No.
Pray.
Stretch.
Allow your mind to be.
1% every day.
Make your bed.
I made the bed this morning.
I was about to run out and be late, but I was like, you know what?
Go back and make the bed.
So I made the bed today.
I feel like I started the day with a win.
So today I'm already 1% better.
All right.
So we're gonna close with a direct challenge to our truth family, right?
I Want y'all to have this challenge to yourselves name one place in your life right now Where comfortable enough has quietly became permanent and Take one small real step out of this week
Not some day take one small real step out of it this week Not some day this weekend y'all We getting 1% better here on the truth I'm gonna close Lee all with this quote right before we get out of here to quote of the day Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase by Dr. Martin Luther King All right
Real danger, real fear, real stagnation.
The whole point of today's last segment was that you don't need to see the whole staircase in order to take the next step.
Don't go anywhere, y'all.
Make sure you tap in with Jazz Tyler right here on the award winning 1017, the truth.
