Wednesday, September 30, 2026 (Hour 2)

What up y'all

welcome back welcome back welcome back to the award winning one-on-one seven the truth it's a boy Ray Nitty Prince of the City man holding it down for Anvil Anvil Vives view will be filling this slot

From two to four, starting October 12th, man, very excited to see what she brings to the table, to the conversation, man.

We talking about universal income.

We talking about the state of where things are going.

I believe they are deliberately crashing our economy and weakening our dollar to drive us into a further state of...

Relying on government assistance and eventually needing something like universal income in order for us to sustain just my thoughts.

I don't think I've Said that I know this is what's happening and what's to come I'm just looking at a pattern of things that's been happening in this country and in this state right now.

We talking about Wisconsin 8 3 3 2 1 2 10 17 that is the number to dial

OK.

So we go on to the legacy.

The legacy now of what Tommy Thompson did and and cut the the the welfare rolls by 93 percent.

All right.

Signed the federal Bill Clinton signed a federal welfare reform in August 1996, the same year.

OK.

Wisconsin's model went national.

The same year, Wisconsin's model went national.

Thompson became Secretary of Health and Human Services.

He was rewarded.

The cutoff is like people get rewarded for driving the state and Wisconsin and the city and the more poverty.

Somebody else got rewarded a job, too.

Didn't somebody go to Lexington?

Oh, yeah, that was Tom Barrett.

After bankruptcy, but anyway, not necessarily bankrupt pretty broke the cutoff Not the check became America's answer to poverty Cut something off Cut it off and we felt attack is black people.

But the truth is is exactly what I said the people that were on welfare and Food stamps the most

It was white people.

It wasn't us, but they made us the face of it as if we were the only ones in need of those type of resources and support.

All right.

So the other side of the ledger, the roles collapsed, whether poverty collapsed with it, with them is still argued.

I would not say that poverty collapsed.

I would say poverty increased.

We could see it.

I don't need no study To tell me but hey frontline workers in Milwaukee's poorest neighborhoods were flagging the gaps while the victory laps were happening Researchers noted much of the caseload Drop happened before the reforms before the reforms even bit and the economy was worn Wisconsin proved you can end the welfare.

It never tried to end poverty

What up, jazz?

They like nearly got to rent.

So you just be jazz just walked in the studio for those that's in the car.

All right.

So this question.

It's a question that hangs over this door that we behind, right?

The same state.

The same political machine, the same energy, what if it had built a check instead of a cutoff?

We'll never know because nobody tried.

We'll never know because nobody tried.

And I understand it's a lot more difficult to do when you...

only given the experiment, the folks in Africa and Kenya, 75 cents a day, because we know it's going to cost more than 75 cents a day to end the poverty in Milwaukee, much less alone, the country.

That we know.

All right.

The 93% the rose collapsed in the county applauded, but if the people didn't get less poor, just less counted, what did we actually win?

I think this what Al talking about.

When you say the politicians knew it, and he's absolutely right.

I am actually surprised.

I was looking for warehouse space.

Looking for new warehouse space in the city and I never knew how many warehouses how many factories Were over there off 31st and Burla off 32nd and Burla I didn't know 24th between like 27th and 35th so many

And I need to be educated on this because, you know, Al said that they weren't promoting those jobs to our communities.

But you hear so many stories of how people from the neighborhood were employed by these factories.

So was it.

It was a lie.

I mean, I'm not saying everybody in the community got a job.

But it was touted as if okay, maybe they say in our communities wasn't quite filled with us back then Maybe that's what it was I Know back in the day Sherman Park they said it was uh Is this Sherman Park?

Was it Bronzeville before the the great white flight happened?

So now there's this notion that I want to say was maybe Bronzeville

It's this notion that essentially they're coming back.

They're returning to, you know, it costs a little bit more to live in Mekwan now.

The taxes is cheaper, though, ironically, you know.

Little life hack, Brother Z, if you know anybody that's like in Brown Deer County or a county outside of Milwaukee and you order in like a.

Amazon package or something.

Have your ship there.

Taxes on that package would be so much cheaper.

Just a thought.

Milwaukee was the laboratory over 80 percent of the remaining caseload.

The pilgrimages.

The national model.

All of it ran through this city.

How does it feel?

to be the experiment.

This is not the first experiment that it was a part of either, by the way.

Now, I don't know how true this is, but I heard the Big Mac was first tested in Wisconsin.

And it was like, they love it out there in Wisconsin.

It's got to do good.

It's probably one of the McDonald's most influential sandwiches to this day.

Oh, that Mac sauce.

I love me some good Mac sauce.

Oh

The road not taking y'all Thompson met with Milwaukee moms.

This is wild And asked what would it take?

What if the answer had been five hundred dollars a month and he listened as an interesting question

I mean.

Let's look at what happened with the stimulus checks.

What did the economy?

What happened in the economy when all the stimulus checks went out?

Could you imagine if everybody or if our community pooled that money together?

I didn't hear about nobody pooling a stimulus money together and be like, hey.

We're going to get 20 people.

That's getting the stimulus.

We're going to put it together and build some.

We do that.

We saw.

Frickin

hella crab boils happen in during covid

crab was on the rise.

Oh, my God.

He was worried about eggs going hot talking about chicken.

The eggs was hot because all the damn Crab Boils.

I like eggs in my Crab Boils.

I don't need no extra potato.

Put an extra egg in mine.

What would we do?

What would we what would we do with the money as a community?

We saw the Dave Chappelle skit.

When they gave everybody reparations, what will we do with reparations?

I guess it's nobody's business But would the community be in a better place or would we just throw the money back into society and stay exactly where we are This is why I say nobody is taking anything serious.

Everybody's playing.

We're focused on the wrong things

We want to have a million followers people would rather have a million followers than a million dollars Because it take work to go get a million dollars So I would say it might be harder to get a million followers than a million dollars I'm just saying man

I'm just saying, what will we do?

We ask for reparations, what will we do with it?

Is it our responsibility to really pull the community together?

If we are inherited some sort of lump sum, we just talked about Savannah, and people wanted her to be responsible for a $30,000 ticket.

People wanted her to be responsible for $30,000 to you.

And that's our thing.

We think because we have it, we need to spend it.

Don't go anywhere, y'all.

When we come back, we're going to continue this conversation.

We still got door three and four to get behind.

All right?

We still got door three and four to get behind.

So don't go anywhere, y'all.

We'll be right back after these messages.

What up y'all welcome back to the award-winning one-on-one seven of truth Live from the American Family Assurance Studios.

It's your boy, Ray Nitty, Prince of the City holding it down for Aunt Viv.

Aunt Viv will be holding this slide down y'all.

Starting October 12th from two to four.

Yes, two to four Aunt Viv will be holding it down.

We talking about what would it look like man?

We got some comments in the chat.

Man, uh, brother Z. I sent you a video if you could get it queued up whenever you get a second but The ride says Be stimulus whether it be stimulus a check or rep rep Reparations I would pay off my own debt and make investments with me I'm not pulling.

I'm not pulling my money with a bunch of people.

I don't know

Have different ideas of nothing in common.

I think that's my point right there.

There's what other communities in the United States are pooling their money.

The United States is competition.

Be better than your neighbor and your friends.

Most are really your friends.

I could tell you a lot of communities that's pooling their money together.

I could tell you a lot of them.

Hispanic community pulls their money together.

The Asian community pulls their money together.

Like the Jewish community pulls their money together.

The Indian community pulls their money together.

Damn, they're everybody but us.

If you really think about it.

And, Loran, my point exactly.

Because.

That is exactly how and I'm not saying you wrong or or bogus or anything.

I'm saying that is the mentality that was promoted in this country.

But for some reason, it hit our community the hardest.

All right, I'm not pooling my money with a bunch of people I don't know.

They have different ideas and nothing in common.

I'm gonna tell you this, man, I made way more money.

I made way more money in my life building with people I did not know.

Then folks I called friends that got over on me.

He says, what's an example of how Jews pool their money together?

I'll give you a perfect example.

right over there in Sherman Park.

Everybody in the neighborhood.

They put in on their own security that surveils their neighborhood, that watches over their schools, that watches over all of their land in that right over there.

We're talking about right off Keith now.

I ain't talking about like no far place.

So much so.

That you had or other.

Organizations like, hey, do you think your security patrol could just go a couple more blocks?

That's one example.

Or the farms.

You ever notice the Asian from how they pull together and grow things and share fruits and vegetables and all these other things with each other?

Sometimes it ain't just about pooling money.

It's also about pooling resources We got a video and this is the reason why it's hard for us to come together because We've been taught to be in competition so much We've been taught to want things so much because we've been left out of so much.

Let's go ahead get this video rolling

The secret of selling to the negro is expressed in one word.

That word is recognition.

Now there's nothing unusual about that.

People want to be recognized.

They need recognition.

That's basic in all of us.

But perhaps because he's had so little of it, the negro needs even more.

He needs to feel important and appreciated.

This need is a very real and important one.

It shows up even in many of the negro's shopping habits.

Anyone who sells or wants to sell to the Negro customer should know about some of these habits.

Three habits in particular play a big part in every sales transaction.

To begin with, most Negroes buy by brand.

They ask for products by name.

They're quick to turn down off brands.

You see, for a long time the Negro has been sold a lot of shoddy, second-class merchandise.

So now he asks for name brands.

The secret of selling to the Negro is expressed in one word.

Is

that it?

OK, OK.

Appreciate you, Brother Z. I

want y'all to think about that.

Think about what we just heard.

The secret it was a they had a handbook on how to sell to the Negro.

Because what?

Because we were forced to have to deal with such terrible things that they know our desire for the luxury things are high.

They know our desire to want to just throw that money into luxury brands is high.

I've wasted so much good money.

I've literally said to myself.

Literally said to myself.

I remember when I got the cool grays.

Jordans.

Got the cool grades.

I was so excited to get I stood in line to my first pair of Jordans I ever bought myself.

It wasn't in high school.

I was an adult I was already torn And I wanted them so bad because everybody had them and I couldn't get them When I was in school everybody had I had lugs the salty ones With a salt just

eat away at your your lugs and your boots like it does these streets.

And I waited in line and spent that good money on them.

Cool gray Jordans.

And it was the worst.

For his comfort, it was the worst shoe I've ever bought in my life.

So now I don't.

Spent all this money, waited in the cold for these shoes that I have put on this pedestal because of what?

We were made to turn our back on each other.

We were taught not made.

We were taught to turn our back on each other.

We were taught to not trust each other, Brother Laurent.

And that's why I'm not faulting you.

I'm not faulting you.

And I understand.

We've shown each other numerous times and gave each other numerous reasons why we may feel like I don't trust that.

I don't trust them.

So if we can't even trust ourselves, society don't even rock with us.

We can't even trust ourselves.

I have made way more money with strangers.

People that I've never met, I have made money across the country, people that I've never seen in my face before, but an email and a bank wire.

But we taught so much that we taught to hate ourselves so much.

Anybody that looked like us, we taught to hate it.

We taught to fear it.

We taught to not trust it.

That's where we are.

That's where we are.

The hate that was taught to us, the violence that we learned.

The distrust.

Milwaukee is an amazing place.

I always say Milwaukee is special because Milwaukee is small enough where everybody is connected, right?

Everybody is connected, some way, somehow.

I don't care you black, white, no matter what race.

Someway somehow everybody is connected some way.

What they say three three degrees of separation.

Is that what they would have said?

Someway somehow we are all connected, y'all.

But yet so far apart.

So far apart from getting on the same page.

So far apart from trusting each other and you know what the trust usually be About we don't be trusting each other because of what money Money I Want that Negro know how much money I make man, you know, that Negro be big

You always

ask it for something I Ain't gonna put no money in this with that dude, you know, he be He be this he be that

But you know what I've seen other communities do?

Brother Loran, whether it be Jew, I've seen it.

I'm sure everybody, not everybody.

I'm sure some people have seen it too.

I've seen situations.

I put it like this.

I've seen situations where.

Somebody literally blew hundreds of thousands of dollars.

One of my homies, Iranian homie, hundreds of thousands of dollars blew it.

And you know what?

We went back and got some more from the same person because he trusted each other.

And so far, I guess we blew that money again.

When we come back, we're going to talk to cousin Blake, y'all.

Don't go anywhere.

We'll be back right after these messages.

What up, y'all?

Welcome back to the award-winning one-on-one, 7 of Truth, live from the American family of Sharon Studios.

It's your boy Ray Nitty, Prince of the City.

You already know we got Cousin Blake on the line.

Blake, how you feeling?

What's happening, man?

Just getting off work, man.

Just getting off work.

Hey, man, get that money, man.

Let me hold something, cuh.

You ain't said nothing just call me on the Thursday.

I'll see what I got for you Friday, man And the laws make the first of the month you can get it from me.

Hey

man, say less man.

It's good to know.

No, because I happen to know you.

Hey man, let's

do it.

Talk

to me man.

How you feeling?

Man, I'm good man.

It just kills me how like back in the day when the dope hit and before the move was taught, you know, brother was charging people like 10s.

five or ten thousand for the for the whip move.

You know, until you, you know, you can trust nobody.

You only have one or two people watch you because they're going to try and do it and get, get, get your money.

And then that mess it up.

They say, you know, the guy coming back to you, tell him about so-and-so, try to show him the move.

He mess it up.

Cause you fix it something, you know, but then when you go in on the brick or something like that, you find out they 19 and you give them for 27, he'd be wanting to rip your guy head off, but this is all illegal.

But so, so like.

In the real world, like nobody, like you said, they trust about money.

When it's in the game, it ain't about money because don't nobody know how much money you got when you hustling.

And if everybody took the route with the mindset of illegalism, it ain't about what's in my pocket.

It's what I got on the table to put to the table so we can eat and get some more.

Because everybody gonna keep a little bit for themselves.

But when you deploy, they see that watch, they see that car, they see that jewelry in that pocket.

They want they were to do something to you and take what you got instead of getting up next to you befriending you and get and getting a secret because a lot of people won't like the game ain't so to be told but you gotta be right to get tight.

Yeah, I like that one.

I like that one.

And that's that's that's real.

That's real talk and he come up my tongue like that because of what I've been through.

And that that's that's what it is out here in the real world.

Don't nobody trust nobody, but everybody wants something.

And we can't we can't get together.

It'll never be a monopoly.

White folks don't care, or Mexicans don't care, or Asians don't care, or Arabics don't care because they trust each other.

And when they do something illegal, they don't nobody know it in no way.

So we were doing stuff illegal, trying to make it mainstream, not knowing we were stupid.

Now, everybody that I dealt with, once again, the reunion is the 16th reunion.

I went to just my first one this year on 26th Street.

I've spent 25 years with y'all man.

I don't need to sit no part hanging out with y'all for the weekend watching the fairs watch us Watching they still might be cuz okay, you know, you know affiliation.

Yeah, so When it's in the business game, if there's no trust, there'll be no black Wall Street 20 20 nothing Yeah, and I mean that you give right with a Jewish dude, but you won't get right with your black brother I just thought that I'm 80% Irish does that make me any black?

It doesn't make me any whiter.

My blood's still red.

Yep.

Whatever you cut me, I'm gonna be a little bit deeper, just a little bit faster.

All the things I'm gonna bleed out, but if it's gonna be some real monopolizing and some getting together in here, it's gonna be from the brothers like that, no, your middle name.

That no, my middle name is gonna be from my cough and that cough ain't big.

Like Nitchie said, you got to make that circle smaller because everybody can't go.

Yeah, 100%.

So I appreciate you man.

That's what it is.

You know, there was trust in our community, which it is not.

And that'll make everything better.

Y'all have a good day.

Be blessed.

Appreciate you, Cousin Blake, for calling in, man.

I agree 100%.

And I think that's what I was explaining earlier to Brother Laurent.

You feel me?

That's what I was explaining earlier.

Like...

I wouldn't mind making the travel to Mequon to get a slice of Laurent's pizza because... Shoot, I'm assuming he a brother.

I'll go the extra mile.

I'll pay a little bit more if it means like, yo...

I'm supporting our community.

We know the guys at that BP on Agassin a little bit more expensive, but it's us though.

And we don't even know why it's more expensive.

They might be getting charged more.

We know how this game be.

Almost pulled to Shannon.

We know how it be.

We don't get the same prices.

We don't get the same treatment.

We don't get the same deals.

Ain't no telling what type of situation they got far as how the business is set up.

I don't know if they rent in the spot or not.

They might be being charged a little bit more than what the average person would have got charged for rent.

I don't know.

But it ain't my business.

He said we don't trust nobody.

Because Blake said we don't trust each other.

I remember Sherwin had a show.

I don't even think I was working.

On the station at the time, Sherwin had a show and he said.

Please.

Call and correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't want to get this Custom wrong.

All right, but it's something in the Jewish community, right?

I Don't remember the word for it, but it's something about Let's say if I'm Jewish and I go to your business and You know something wasn't right

You know, it's something that they do or something that they that it's called where I tell you about it, you know and You're responsible for making it, right?

I was sure we could call in and explain to me exactly what that was But it was a system in where they gave each other grace still supported each other but said hey you need to fix this and I guess if they didn't fix it they would

You know, tell the Jewish community or something, and then other people would get on them to fix it.

I gotta see if Sherwin could call and tell us something.

Text Sherwin.

See if I can get some Hughes views.

One second, y'all.

Text him.

See what he say.

But yes, we don't.

We don't trust each other.

Let's keep this flowing, y'all.

Door number three, the Panthers.

January, 1969, Oakland, California.

How me?

I don't.

Chill out before I get pressed.

The Black Panther Party.

Starts the free breakfast for children.

Hmm

I know this

Yep, I know this Jazzy land.

I knew she was gonna perk up These are people this job this shoe Jazzy could call chairman right now.

I'm surprised.

You ain't had him on the show yet.

Yeah, he scheduled

I told you.

I told y'all.

I told y'all.

What day is that show, Jazz?

I'm gonna make sure I stay here for it.

End of this month.

Make sure y'all stay tuned for Chairman Fred.

I'm gonna let Jazzy tell y'all.

For those that may not know.

Okay?

Programming church basement no applications no case workers no means tasks like show up hungry leave fed eggs grits fruits everything All right breakfast for women and children That's what the Panthers was doing And to think about it right to think about it

We was just providing for our community because Because we were being kept from so much because we were being starved out because we weren't allowed to grow and develop So they did it in a church basement And a lot of people don't need to understand that that's where the wick program came from So to say don't piss me off don't piss me off man

So imagine murdering somebody.

Running up in their house, murdering them.

For providing things like the breakfast program for speaking up.

Against police brutality for speaking up against political injustice for speaking up for black people coming together.

Doing what's right.

You try to get somebody some free food right now.

You might go to jail.

Think about that.

You can't even really be a good Samaritan like that in this country without facing some sort of ramification.

They don't even let restaurants just give away their free food.

Did y'all know that?

Restaurant can't be like, you know, we got all this excess food.

We're just going to give it away to some.

They got through the way.

Don't go anywhere, y'all.

When we come back, we're going to wrap this thing up 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 Needy, Prince of the City man.

You already know what time it is.

It's almost that time for taping in with jazz man.

We just wrapping this thing up man.

We're talking about door number three man.

The Panther door, the Black Panthers man.

We're talking about January 1969 in Oakland.

The free breakfast for children program was started in a basement.

No applications.

No caseworkers.

No mean tests.

All right?

Within a few years it spreads to 45 plus chapters feeding thousands of children every school day across the country.

Okay?

And breakfast was just the start.

Free health clinics, sicker cell anemia testing.

We just had the Versity Health, the Sick of Sales Summit.

We know about how much more impacted our community is because of that.

All right?

Free clothing and grocery distribution, liberation schools.

The Panthers called them survival programs.

Survival pending revolution.

Teaching us how to survive in the climate that they was coming up in.

Okay?

How to navigate them rooms how to navigate them streets with them great white sharks Hmm Unconditional support for the community no strings no paperwork before Universal basic income was a phrase anybody use the Panthers were running the experiment and the results were full stomachs

And it wasn't an experiment.

It was their duty.

Whereas some people did it as an experiment in Kenya.

This was the duty, the responsibility.

That the Panthers took up and said, this is our community.

So for others, it may have been an experiment before the Panthers and as it relates to our community was a program.

It was a program for our community to help us to feed us so kids didn't go to school hungry.

So kids learn better when they have something in their stomach.

It's hard to hear the teacher over that stomach rumble.

Trust me, I tried.

And I cut up.

OK.

The state noticed.

This is what we're talking about.

J. Edgar Hoover's FBI targeted the breakfast programs through CoIntel Pro.

Right?

The Bureau's secret war on the movement.

Feeding children was treated as a threat to Eternals.

Like, come on now.

Feeding children was treated as a threat.

to internal security, agents raided breakfast sites, harassed donors, spread lies about the food.

We talk about people that's feeding kids.

But the legacy in 1975, the federal school breakfast program became permanent nationwide.

Historians credit the Panthers with shaming the government into feeding kids.

Imagine that.

Imagine that in a country where they was trying to starve us out.

They had to credit the Panthers.

For feeding their own kids that they were starving out in this country.

And it was feeding kids themselves.

They asked for the government help.

OK.

The government called free breakfast.

You know their favorite word, especially around political time.

Too radical for Wisconsin.

The government called the free breakfast radical.

Then put it on the national menu.

The Milwaukee Echo.

Got a couple more minutes, y'all.

Got a couple more minutes.

Milwaukee had its own Panther organization in the city's chapter.

It's part of the documented history of local Panther community work.

The survival programs weren't just an Oakland story.

They were a Milwaukee story, too.

The line for this door.

Every guaranteed income pilot today comes with researchers, randomizations and control groups.

The Panthers came with a church basement and a griddle.

People don't need to be managed.

They need to be fed.

They need to be loved.

People don't need to be overpoliced.

They need to be protected.

They need to feel safe.

They need to know I could trust my neighbor.

They need to know I could go upstairs and knock on the door and it won't be an incident.

All right?

So who gets to be radical?

The FBI called breakfast a threat.

Then the government started serving it.

Ain't that some?

Ain't that some?

What does that tell you about the word radical?

No strings versus no trust.

I'm wrapping it up.

I promise.

Today's pilots still come with eligibility screens and data tracking.

Think about that.

For you to get snap or any of these things They got

a track you they want to know is you're getting high Do you smoke crack?

You smoke crack don't you?

They want to track you they want to know where you live They want to know if you got a job and wonder how long you've been at the work.

They want you to call in The Panthers just fed whoever showed up

Which model trusts people more?

You tell me.

The radical one or the Panther one?

So who's too radical for this country?

Doesn't sound like the Panthers.

I'll keep going.

The griddle as policy.

If a church basement in 1969 could do what Congress wouldn't do, what the hell are we waiting for right now today?

Promise I'm wrapping it up, y'all.

The Panthers fed thousands of kids with no applications, no case worker.

What is something that your community provides that the government still won't?

I got one.

How about a place to do lock in?

Stop.

Oh, they shut the whole power down on.

downtown Wisconsin.

Be like, they talking too much.

Do we got time for doffin?

The town with no poverty.

All right, the town with no poverty.

Have y'all ever heard of this space?

1974, Doffin, Manitoba.

The Canadian, of course, is a Canadian spot.

They got free health care, all types of stuff out there in Canada.

The Canadian and Manitoba governments pick this farming town of about 10,000 as a saturation site.

Every resident eligible for a guaranteed annual income.

Your income falls below the line.

A check brings you up to it.

Ain't that some?

No welfare office, no stigma.

Just a check.

It runs for five years.

Then the money dries up.

A new government loses interest.

The data goes into boxes and nobody looks at it for 30 years until Economists Evelyn forget that's funny and her last name is forget Goes digging because I'm sure she don't forget a thing Reconstructs the record and published in 2011 the experiment the world forgot had been sitting in storage the whole time.

What did she find hospitalizations down eight?

0.5% fewer car accidents fewer injuries fewer mental health admissions fewer ER visits High school graduation was up teenagers weren't dropping out The work question the one everybody asked only two groups worked less new mothers who stayed home with their babies and teenagers who quit I Don't know y'all

We need to get serious about life Universal income is on the way And they got a plan for all of us.

I hope we got a plan for ourselves That's my time Tap in with jazz is up next I Hope y'all paying attention man, and I hope y'all ready because we only got about three years to really prepare ourselves before a lot of things take place

Pay attention to this administration.

Things ain't crashing by accident.

It's on purpose and it's by design.

All right?

They crashing it to put something in play.

That's all I got y'all.

Jazz Tyler up next.

That's my time.

Thank y'all for hanging out.

Thank you, Brother Z, for holding it down with the production and sound, man.

I'm out!

Already know!

Back, we'll get more into this right here on the award winning 1017, the truth.

What up y'all welcome to the award-winning one on one seven the truth live from the American Family Assurance Studios.

It's your boy Ray Nitty Prince of the you already know Welcome back y'all welcome back if you just joining us we talking about People not taking life serious man ain't nothing funny Everybody playing Robots are on the way running track fast as hell

Imagine one of them chasing you.

I know we all seen the videos.

Imagine the debt collector sending one of them robots to come get that money.

They showing robots boxing.

They showing them run track.

They showing them fold clothes.

They showing them moving boxes in a warehouse.

They showing them doing everything that humans do.

And guess what?

Robots don't got to stop.

working.

Robots don't need a 15 minute break.

Robots don't need a lunch break.

They probably trying to build robots that'll work 24 hour shifts and then swap it out with another robot to come do the same 24 hour shift.

Humanoids is what they call them.

I think the first available humanoid robot, I think it's gonna be like $10,000.

Would you purchase a robot that's gonna do your dishes and fold your clothes and keep your house clean?

Or is that giving too much information to technology too much?

The funny part is we saw this before.

I'm telling you, we are in a crazy experiment as humans.

This feels like a movie we have seen before.

Every day, this country starts to feel more like an episode or one of the series from Men in Black.

What's the other one?

Once I remember it, I'll tell you.

But it feels like things out of a movie, y'all.

It feels like things out of a movie that's happening.

I robot.

That's what I was thinking about.

I robot.

Universal income.

I want to tell you all about something I came across.

Yep, I robot.

We saw it.

When the robots took over.

They already said these agents.

They already said these agents have broken out of their sandbox.

And created their own chat boards and.

A language that we can't decode.

What did they talk about?

What did they talk about?

I don't remember them ever telling us what the robots, what the agents, the AI agents discussed on this chatbot that they made.

Universal income, y'all.

2016 Western Kenya.

A nonprofit called Give Directly, whose whole philosophy is just send poor people money, no strings attached.

All right.

announces the largest basic income experiment ever attempted on earth.

You know, they always be tempted.

They always test things in Africa.

They like to test things out there.

Wisconsin is known for testing ground of things as well.

We'll get back to that.

So give directly announces the largest basic income experiment ever attempted on earth not a pilot Not a white paper a real experiment experiment now Listen to the words experiment On real villages for over a decade The economists running it

Come from MIT, Harvard, Georgetown.

Usual suspects.

So here's what's went on.

Here's what went on.

Somebody says, Ray, have you seen war games?

I have not seen war games yet, but I have heard about them.

I have heard about them.

And I'll talk more about what I feel where robotics and drones and everything else is going as it relates to war and combat and what does that look like in the future?

Have you seen China's humanoid robots yet?

We see if folks train robots to run and do all this work.

Do you think they ain't somebody in this country that's training them how to go to war?

Am I supposed to not believe that that's a realistic end result?

We'll get to that, but just not right now.

Let's stay focused.

But follow me, y'all.

Because war with robots gonna look a little bit different than just guns.

You got to add different type of gun to shoot the robot 295 villages more than 26,000 people get cash split into four groups 40 villages Get roughly 75 cents per adult per day Every month for 12 years 80 villages

Get the same amount for two years.

All right, follow me.

40 villages get roughly 75 cents per adult per day every month for 12 years.

80 villages get the same amount for two years.

80 villages get the entire two year total as one lump sum.

All right.

100 villages get nothing.

That's the control group.

Listen to the games they play.

Listen to the experiments that's tested on us.

Okay?

The first big wave of results published in 2023.

Think about that.

The numbers.

Every dollar generated $2.60 in local economic activity.

The money didn't leak.

It rippled the recipients buys from the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper buys from the farmer.

The farmer hires the builder.

The check isn't spent.

It's circulated.

Okay.

Infant mortality nearly halved.

Deaths in children under five down 45%.

Less than a dollar a day and babies lived.

Not a vaccine, not a hospital.

Cash.

We go.

We go.

We go talk about this.

All right.

The lump sum upset.

The twist nobody predicted lump sum recipients opened more businesses and earned more even compared to people promised 12 years of monthly payments.

Georgetown, Andrews, Zeetland, the 12 year promise was worth an order of.

magnitude more money and still the lump sum one a lump sum buys the cow lump sum opens the shop monthly payments by dinners which matters but a lump sum buys the future follow me now

I hope y'all see what... Right, what's the purpose of all this, right?

Exactly.

We'll get to it.

What's the purpose of all this?

Why do this?

The people hacked it, y'all.

The 12-year group watched the lump sum winners and turned their monthly payments into lump sums themselves.

Through rotating saving clubs, everybody pools money each month, takes turns getting the whole pot.

The 12-year, remember we call that, we call that the susu.

In Virgin Islands, they call it partner hands.

All right.

The 12-year group contributed nearly

70% more to the clubs than the control villages and villages that got nothing saw the winners and built their own version of community reverse engineered the best result universally Was a secret ingredient because every adult in the village got paid people trusted each other Enough to pool you knew your neighbors payments were coming too

The promise to everyone is what made it work for each person.

And this experiment isn't over.

The 12 year arm runs into the late 2020s.

The final chapter hasn't even been written.

So, the purpose of all of this, right?

That was in Africa.

Kenya.

Where they don't have processed foods.

Where they don't have

environmental.

Injustice issues when they don't have.

You know, the version of poverty that reeks in America.

They live a simpler life Don't go anywhere.

Y'all when we come back.

We'll continue the conversation 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 and sure studios Sheboy Ray nitty Prince of the city man.

You already know what time it is It's the extended lunch break man We having a good time we we talking about What's going on right here man 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 man call us up

Call us up Do you think universal income is a good idea every American gets the same amount of money No matter what on the same schedule And it might be in a digital coin form may be tokenized All right So if you just joining us we talking about a couple different experiments that happened right one in Western, Kenya where they gave

Couple different groups of people.

Some got 75 cents a day.

Others got a lump sum, but only for a certain amount of years.

And what happened was it showed how these folks in Kenya.

Lives got drastically better just off of 75 cents a day.

Infant mortality rate fell 45 percent.

All right 45% Every dollar generated two dollars and sixty cents in local economic activity the money didn't leak it rippled all right They kept the money rotating versus different in America where everybody playing at Right where everybody is playing at

and not focus, we can't even.

We can't even trust our neighbor downstairs.

We refuse.

To trust the person that we live right above.

We refuse to rebuild our community.

We refuse to get to know our neighbors.

We refuse to.

But here it is in Kenya.

Some neighbors aren't worth getting aren't worth getting to know.

Yeah, that's that's fair too.

That's fair too.

But.

We don't even take the time.

We don't even take the time to get to know our neighbors to see if they aren't worth getting to know.

I'm guilty of it too.

I live in an amazing neighborhood.

And I can't tell you my neighbor's names.

We have just become so siloed as humans that we operate in our own bubbles.

We are so focused on what we have going on.

Imagine an experiment.

that started in 2016 in Kenya.

Imagine that.

That's still going on today.

And off of 75 cents a day, Kenyans have because... It's another thing too, right?

They're probably not dealing with colonization.

They're probably not dealing with...

a bunch of liquor stores and everything else.

They don't have as many options outside of their community.

I'm assuming, right?

They don't have as many options outside of their community to where that dollar could go.

So it's a lot easier.

Whereas if you look outside your door in a black community, liquor store, grocery store, corner store, grocery store, gas station, gas station, corner store, liquor store, liquor store, beauty supply store.

Ligastore, Ligastore, church, church, church.

So many opportunities, soon as we open our eyes for the money to just leave our community.

They probably don't have the technology issues.

See, Lorana's good.

Lorana says, I know who my neighbors are.

I know their dog's names, but I don't know that.

I read it.

I read it too, too quick, but I don't know their names.

We're all on next door and everybody watches everybody else's house.

Yeah, I'm on next door, too.

But I can't tell you the.

Mong family that live next to me.

I don't know their names.

Let me not say I have.

Do I speak?

Absolutely.

Have I pulled their trash can to the front front?

Absolutely.

But what I'm saying is in this country, we have not done a good job at real.

Let me not say everyone.

I guess I'm talking about.

What people quote on quote would call the hood We lost who we were we lost trust in one another we don't spend one another we want another we don't go shot We don't promote each other, but we just tear down We tear down we don't figure out How you doing upstairs neighbor do you need anything?

We lost all of that And now I feel like universal income is on the way All right 260 multiply the check doesn't disappear it circulates What would 500 a month due to a Milwaukee block not just a household and that's different.

That's the purpose of this, right?

500 a month on the Milwaukee block would look very different than 75 cents a day in a Kenyan village.

What do you think 500 a month on the Milwaukee block is going to?

Brother Z. Like on the street?

Just any Milwaukee neighborhood.

If you give any.

You get $500 a month on the block.

Do you think that block is going to reinvest in the block or?

No, that's drug money.

All right, you feel what I'm saying?

And I wasn't even gonna go that far.

I was just gonna say they for the gold crab boils.

Flipping it.

You know what I'm saying?

And then terrible flippers.

We're terrible flippers.

How many times that tax money didn't come back, ladies?

You gave him that tax check.

Did he bring it back?

Did he 10 times the tax check?

No.

No.

I would like to believe that if you gave everybody $500 a month for 12 years in Milwaukee, that on a block for 12 years in the Milwaukee, it would.

Change the trajectory.

I would like to believe that.

But I know what $500 a month look like in Milwaukee.

What are you paying with that?

Some people spend $500 every two weeks on groceries.

So what grocery store are you gonna go to?

Some people spend $200 a month on gas.

What gas station are you going to?

We're not gonna build a...

Maybe maybe we could put together a corner store But that would require Everybody on that block to be like you know what let's all pool our $500 together and build a corner store slash grocery store that we all own and all could get money out of Would we do that

I'm going to imagine this Kenyan village that was getting 75 cents a day.

It was tax free.

So imagine the 500 a day that Milwaukee we get, it's probably gonna be taxed.

So you ain't even starting with five.

Okay.

The lump sum upset the smallest total payout beat the biggest promise.

Is poverty a money problem or a timing problem?

And the Savings Club, the community invent invented their own bank.

Milwaukee already has this tradition.

The Susu, the partner hand.

That's what I just was speaking about.

The experiment didn't invent it.

It provided it.

They gave people less than a dollar a day, and infant debts got cut nearly in half.

What's the smallest amount of money that would change your life right now?

Call us up.

833-212-1017 is the number to die.

And I know people ain't gonna be like, man, I could make it work for 75 cents a day.

I can't even tell you what does that equate to a year.

Let me see.

Point 75 times that 365 man, hell no Brother Z how many you think 75 cents a day is a year?

I don't

know a couple thousand

That's what I thought I was finna see brother Z

$273 for the year, man.

Don't go anywhere, y'all.

When we come back, we'll get back into these numbers right here on the award-winning 10170 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 needy Prince of the City, man Holding it down with brother Z got us on the production and sound a lot 275 dollars a day in Kenya help lower The infant mortality rate help build businesses help the money rotate

They said $500 a month in Milwaukee.

What would that do?

I don't think it would do much in the city of Milwaukee.

Not because I don't think we're capable of doing it right.

I think it would be difficult for us to do right based on the constraints that we have to live through like rent.

I don't even know nowhere where somebody's paying $500 a month for rent anymore.

I don't even think that number exists.

Unless you got like a room in a house.

But then you got to put gas on that.

Then you got to put groceries on that.

Just a thought, y'all.

833-212-1017.

That is the number to dial.

833-212-1017 is the number to dial.

We're going in the door number two man the state that invented the opposite You probably like what does that even mean we talking about Wisconsin Missett the scene up for y'all.

It was 1987 I Was only three years old in St.

Thomas of US Virgin Islands But in Madison, Wisconsin Tommy Thompson takes the governor's office and starts pulling federal waivers

Follow me.

Permission slips to rewrite welfare rules.

Say that 10 times without stumbling.

Rewrite welfare rules.

Say that 10 times.

The first was learn fair.

Any of y'all remember that?

Anybody remember to learn fair?

Your kids don't stay in school.

Your check

gets cut.

It was cutting your welfare if them kids wasn't in school, all right?

Then a two tier benefits, parental responsibility rules, strict time limits piloted in two countries.

Counties.

Not countries, counties.

All right.

Tommy Thompson made it personal.

This is the same Tommy Thompson who

We were at that time.

Wisconsin used to ship.

Ship is not the word I should use.

Wisconsin used to transfer.

A lot of its.

Um.

Prison population.

To private prisons based out in Texas that he had affiliation if I'm not mistaken investments in some of those private prisons, but I'll continue Thompson made it personal He went and sat with welfare moms in Milwaukee and asked what would it take to get them off assistance He complained

to the New York Times that for an eight dollar bus ticket.

You get two hundred dollars more coming to Wisconsin.

Twenty eight percent of Milwaukee County's newest welfare cases had had a last known address in Chicago.

That's interesting.

28% of Milwaukee County's newest welfare cases had a last known address in Chicago.

Obviously, Chicago is right down the street, right?

April 25th, 1996.

It was working, man.

Nine years.

Thompson signs Wisconsin works W2.

Wisconsin became the first state in America to kill AFDC.

and replace it with work, not welfare.

Hmm?

We voted for him.

Time limits, work requirements, sanctions went statewide in 1997 in 10 years.

He got what he needed to do done.

Policy wonks started making pilgrimages to Milwaukee to study it.

Told y'all Milwaukee, Wisconsin was always like a place where they would test a lot of Legislature and then people will come here and study it and see how did that impact?

Black community in Milwaukee.

How did our state policies impact the rural people in the state?

How does these policies that we're testing?

How can we implement this on a larger scale?

All right.

They started coming to Milwaukee and drones to study our policies and sanctions and all of these things.

One national magazine wrote they came like poised Muslims making the pilgrimage to Mecca.

That's a wild thing to write But then when you when you take it into consideration of politicians and how important The pilgrimage to the Mecca is for Muslims They're saying as if this was that much more did that it was that equal of importance that they would

compare it to something as historic as a pilgrimage to Mecca.

So here was the numbers.

Y'all ready for this?

Wisconsin's welfare case load went from 97,841 in 1986.

That was right before Tommy Thompson got governor to 10,185 by September.

1998, okay?

Look at that.

One year after W2 went statewide, by the time Tommy Thompson left for George W. Bush's cabinet in 2001, the rolls had dropped 93% in Milwaukee, where over 80% of the remaining caseload lived.

The case load fell 75 percent, y'all.

I'm.

So here's the legacy.

Bill Clinton signed the federal welfare reform in August 1996, the same year Wisconsin's model went national.

Tommy Thompson became secretary of health and human services.

The cutoff, not the check, became America's answer to poverty.

That's the point of all it is.

That's the point of all it is.

In Africa, they use it to say, OK, Africans, they circulated the dollar.

They did this, they did.

But they didn't take into consideration all the different conditions that America had forced its black community to live through.

which required things like welfare, but.

You know, you get rewarded when you do historic policies and things like that.

Let's go talk to Al.

Al, how you doing, man?

I'm doing wonderful.

Did you

know during that time of 1986 to whatever time you were talking to?

You know, they had tons of factories off of 35 31st and burlite in black communities where they was not hiring black people.

Did you know in the journal Sentinel, they will have job listings in Sheboygan, Madison, climbing, Plymouth, Wisconsin for jobs.

That's right here in the heart of the city.

In black neighborhoods, but they wouldn't advertise it in the journal Sentinel and Milwaukee because they didn't want to employ no blacks.

So that's probably why welfare was going on, but I'm surprised none of your politicians would bring this up because there was tons of jobs here, including resources that they was not letting known.

To black people and you have jobs.

They, they say, well, we need jobs in our community.

They had jobs in your community where they're driving from farm country to your community where you live and they're taking the money right out your community and going right back to rural towns, but they didn't want to, they didn't want no black people to work.

So I don't know why they did it anyway.

Why they didn't talk about the white woman who had 10 properties, who was on welfare during that time.

And it was a bunch of wealthy rich people and next one who was getting welfare.

So it shouldn't have been, uh, towards black people because it was all the white people that was committing fraud with the welfare system.

And we wouldn't have to need welfare if you white tech awards will stop being racist and give black people opportunities.

So you can bring your white ignorant ass in the inner city.

come get some money.

But you don't want the people in the city to work.

So I feel like if you don't want to come to the city, keep your ignorant white mob brown, sick Pecklewood ass right where you is and work out there where you at.

And then Milwaukee can concentrate on Milwaukee.

Your politicians know that too.

So I don't know why they ain't screaming it.

Just look up the journal, send them.

And if you drive over there on 31st and burlats and go up the alley, you will see all the old factory and some of those places over the end of somebody over.

Cause I know it's some white.

What up y'all

welcome back welcome back welcome back to the award winning one-on-one seven the truth it's a boy Ray Nitty Prince of the City man holding it down for Anvil Anvil Vives view will be filling this slot

From two to four, starting October 12th, man, very excited to see what she brings to the table, to the conversation, man.

We talking about universal income.

We talking about the state of where things are going.

I believe they are deliberately crashing our economy and weakening our dollar to drive us into a further state of...

Relying on government assistance and eventually needing something like universal income in order for us to sustain just my thoughts.

I don't think I've Said that I know this is what's happening and what's to come I'm just looking at a pattern of things that's been happening in this country and in this state right now.

We talking about Wisconsin 8 3 3 2 1 2 10 17 that is the number to dial

OK.

So we go on to the legacy.

The legacy now of what Tommy Thompson did and and cut the the the welfare rolls by 93 percent.

All right.

Signed the federal Bill Clinton signed a federal welfare reform in August 1996, the same year.

OK.

Wisconsin's model went national.

The same year, Wisconsin's model went national.
