The Truth Unfiltered with Denise Thomas and Dr. Ken Harris · Mon Nov 24, 2025

This is the Truth Unfilver with Dr. Ken Harris.

Here's my issue with it.

The wear and tear they're going to put on the side streets by fixing the expressway

when what they should have been doing is fixing the side streets up so that they can take the weight of all that excess trash that now

when you're done with seven years of the expressway for three and a half miles or so now you're going to have to do the city.

Live at the Avenue. Here's Dr. Ken Harris.

You're listening to Truth Unfiltered, I'm your host Dr. Ken Harris.

I am, I don't know how to say it.

Detailess Denise Thomas-Less, she's, she's ticking a much needed evening off and I am holding down the fort.

Here at 620 WTMJ and 101 7 the truth we're here every Sunday night from 7 to 9 and

re-barcast on 101 7 the truth from 6 to 8 on Monday nights.

If you miss it here or if you miss a part here, all you got to do is flip over, we'll be on Spotify and all that stuff.

You got any questions? Got any comments?

Thanksgiving week is coming. It's almost here.

Sighting a limited WTMJ tuck and text line is 855.

6161 620 or 83321 2101 7 is the 101 7 the truth.

Tuck and text line.

Evan is here. I'm here. It's been quite the interesting evening.

So many things are going on. In case you've heard and I don't know if there's been an update,

the young lady who has been a part of what do you want to call it.

The slender man issue Morgan Geyser, she's missing after cutting off her monitoring bracelet

and leaving the group home. This from CBS 58 and you just heard in the news,

Madison police say Morgan Geyser, 22 year old who was granted a conditional release to a group

home and connection to the slender man stabbing they're calling it a case is now missing.

In the Facebook post police say Geyser cut off her Department of Corrections monitoring bracelet,

which from what I understand is not a hard task and left the group home. That was on Saturday.

She was last seen in the area of Cranky Drive at around 8 o'clock PM with an adult acquaintance,

a recent image of her captured on security video this past month is on their website.

So here's a question. Madison, well, first of all, Madison police say if you see her call 911.

If you remember, she with a friend stabbed a classmate, paid a lot in her 19 times

in David's Park in 2014 when they were 12 and all that an effort to appease the fictional

characters to slender man. So she's originally sentenced to 40 years in a mental health institution

before she was granted conditional release. Biowalkshire County judge this past March.

Geyser's attorney Tony Cotton posted a video to social media calling for Geyser to turn herself in.

So here's a question. Should she have been released in the first place?

I got to say this.

Have this happened in Milwaukee County? There's no way she would have been released.

And I think what happens is culturally we always side with, you know, people that

look like, you know, something you have in common with. She's a young lady.

It's a bourbon young lady, stuff like that. And we always blow that off and pretend like that

doesn't count. But where's the outcry that she's missing? Where's the fear and a community that a

young lady who clearly has mental health issues? Got a conditional release. And now you can second

guess the judge because she clearly she should not have gotten released. It's clear.

She jumped ship. She broke up. What are your thoughts? 8556161620? Should she have been released

in the first place? Should she have been released? And now, southeastern Wisconsin

is in danger and don't downplay it. This is not a this is not one of your city of Milwaukee.

We're going to be talking about that with all the homicides and shootings that happened over

the past weekend. We're not going to downplay the fact that this young lady

staps somebody 19 times and tried to kill them. She committed attempted homicide and I watched

a jury and a judge and a prosecutor and a defense attorney twist words comments video

testimony to make sure this girl didn't go to prison. She should have been in prison and she's not.

So I want the same thing to happen to her that would happen to anybody in southeastern Wisconsin

in Milwaukee County where if they escape because now she's an escapee. She just committed a felony.

So she needs to go back to court get charged by walk a shut county. Convict it and locked up.

Do you agree? Eight five five six one six one six one six twenty. I'm with a with a I am biased.

I have to say that. Let me say I'm biased. The reason I'm biased is because I have a background

in law enforcement. But I think the young lady needs to begin jail. She should have been in jail

in the first place. She should have went to jail when she did it. She should have went to jail and

she proved it and people went out of their way to show now granted she did have a mental illness.

Granted but she's has shown that she can't be trusted and that she should have been locked up

and she should have gone to jail. Not a mental institution. Now you can put her in jail

and I have no qualms saying that. I don't care what her race is. I don't care what her gender is.

I don't care where she's from. I don't care what her family does. I don't care how much money

she has she has proven that she belongs in jail. And I said it when they were going to release her

they should have left her in. It's too soon. It's too soon. Remember there are originally

going to release her they had to put a stop tool because they realized the group home

they were going to release her to was close to the victim in the stabbing matter too. So then

they had to delay it and then talk about it some more. And I think that's why she was a Madison.

True. And clearly it didn't matter. Had she been close in Walkershire County or Dame County

she broke out. Be glad she wasn't the group home close to the victim when she cut off from monitor.

Yep. And they'll try to they'll they'll try to say somebody coerced her into doing it. They'll

come up with all sorts of things. Oh, you have to have compassion. I say no. You would not have

compassion for anybody in Milwaukee County. You wouldn't have compassion for anybody. You talk

about how terrible they are and see those people. Well, guess what? She's now those people.

She's now a person who should go to jail. She should be in prison. Sandhut is is is Tachita still

open? Women's prison up and up and going back to Cheetah. Yeah, I believe it's still open.

Shipper up there and lock her away and make her accountable and responsible

because if she isn't for the original sentence, she's responsible now.

I'm gonna sound probably cold-hearted here to some but they already gave her compassion and

look at what she did with it. It's not cold-hearted. It's not cold-hearted. People are duplicitous

when they when they see a white female suburbanite who all of a sudden does this thing. They

they made sure that that girl went to a mental health institution because they knew that she

would be able to get out and she wouldn't stay as long as she might because she was in a mental

institution. She was in a prison. She would have got out there soon and so they did it on purpose

and now this is what we have. Well, I say and I want the media to blast her the way they blast

all those people in Milwaukee, put her picture up. I want to see her booking photos. I want to see

everything you do for everybody else on TV, talk about it on the radio, put it on social media

to find her. And with as much video that we have in the world today, you're telling me y'all

came find her? Right. It's terrible. I have zero compassion now. Zero compassion because she

intentionally cut it. It wasn't like, you know, well, it accidentally fell off. Not only did she cut

it, but she ran. And I don't care if somebody threatened her. I don't care. She was scared for her

life and scared for her safety. She could have told someone else. They were people working at the

group home. The group home is is maintained 24 hours a day. But yet, what do we have? Nothing.

Everybody's quiet. Nobody wants to say anything. Oh, that's just her. No, she reflects her community.

The same way we say black people reflect the black community of Milwaukee when someone is

shot or killed. We're always those people. We're always that's how it is south of south of

you know, east of 124th and south of highway 60. You know, you know, how it is down there. Well,

guess what? There's Madison and Walker Shaw aren't safe either. And so here we are.

She needs to be charged. And I want to see what the Walker Shaw County District Attorney's office

does. I want to see what they do. The families aware,

the families are safe and are working closely with local law enforcement to ensure they're

continued safety. That's Steven, Steve Lyons, a spokesperson for the Lawtner family. The family

would like to thank all the law enforcement entities involved in the efforts to apprehend Morgan,

the Lawtner family also wishes to thank the outpouring of support. Excuse me, from family friends

and well-rishes who have contacted them during this difficult time. Broke out ran away.

I wonder how many people are looking for. What are many cops are looking for?

Matt, uh, uh, Dane County Sheriff's Department, City of Madison Police.

I want to see her picture all over. I want to scroll. Where's the Amber Alert?

Where's the Amber Alert for a girl who has mental health issues, who stabs somebody 19 times

and now escaped custody? Well, it wouldn't be Amber Alert, but where's the alert?

Where's the lock your doors and shut your windows and

call 911 if you see her? Where's, where's the text? Did people in Madison get it?

I think it should have gone statewide.

But that's what we get. Silence. Because everybody's going to stick their head in the sand and they're

going to pretend like this young lady just made a mistake.

Sliding unlimited WTMJ talk and text line is a 556161620 or 1017 the truth 8332121017 is the number.

I'll be interested to see how fast they find her.

But then again, she wasn't the only thing. We've had a pretty bad weekend from Milwaukee.

Welcome back to the truth unfiltered.

You're listening to truth unfiltered. I'm your host Dr. Kim Harris.

A 556161620. It was a crazy weekend. By the way, Packers one.

By the way, Bears one. By the way, Kansas City Chiefs one. Did the Lions win?

They ended up winning it over time. Okay. Wow. That was an amazing comeback.

Yeah. Giants decided they wanted to go for a touchdown when they had fourth and goal up by three.

Instead of kicking a field goal. They got sex. That was an overtime date.

But once they tackled them, it was it. Yeah. But I'm saying late in the fourth quarter,

they had the ball fourth and goal inside like like the 10 or something yard line.

And instead of just taking the points, forcing the Lions to go the length of the field and

you need to touch down a PAT to win. They won for it and got stopped and the kicker for the Lions

is pretty dang good. And all you have to do is get right around midfield and send them on out

there. So. And he picked kick like what? A 59 yard. Yeah. 59. And I thought he was going to miss it.

And it just curved. Yeah. The interim coach for the Giants definitely didn't do a good job

auditioning for the full-time road today. Yeah. Yeah. Oh well. That's life. Packers didn't look

too good. But looks like their backs are stepping up. Yeah. They're defensive for the good.

I think they pretty much played the way they did it intentionally knowing they have a game on

Thursday. And the way the defense is playing, it's like we're just going to go and get to W and

get ready for Thursday. And I wonder who they're playing Thursday. The Lions. Yeah. Lions are

going to look to get get even with them. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. So we'll see. We shall see. It's been

a it's been a bad weekend. If you haven't been paying attention to Milwaukee.

It's been a pretty bad weekend. CBS 58 17 year old was dead following a shooting on the north side

on Saturday. Milwaukee police say the fatal shooting happened near 60th and Marion around 730

PM 17 year old was pronounced dead on the scene. And then a 47 year old died from injuries

in an overnight physical attack. Milwaukee police responded to the incident near 11th and

Locus around midnight and police say the victim had been in a physical altercation with other people

received multiple strikes to the front and back of the head taken to the hospital

and died from their injuries. And then a 15 year old

Friday evening around 530 PM on green tree and Darian was shot and pronounced dead at the scene.

And then a minivan crashed into a house and the driver died. That's that 19th and when Lake

in Milwaukee just before 3 AM Saturday killing the 29 year old driver and causing significant

damage. And if I believe there was a accompanying story, I believe that person may have been

shot. So there's been a lot going on this weekend. I don't understand it about Milwaukee. Can

somebody explain this to me? Why is there no outcry? Is it that because it's not your neighborhood

or it but it's your city? I would think there would be significant outcries to

these types of things going on in the city that are going to cause people to not want to come

to Milwaukee. They're already apprehensive. People are already apprehensive about coming to the

city. And now every weekend we have five, three, four, five homicides. And last time I checked

that we were at about 127 homicides and I wonder there's one way to do it. I don't I don't

I just checked that the Milwaukee Journal Center of Homicide Database and it's loading.

Everything's fast around here today. Let me tell you. We're now at 131, eight more

than last year. And these don't count. They have to go to the medical examiner's office and

the medical examiner has to then say it was a homicide and then it goes into the database after

it's been confirmed. But if we're looking at today, the latest one was from the 16th. And so we're

talking what three more. So now we're let me see 131 and four more. We're like 135, 136.

It's it's just unconscionable. It's it's terrible. It's it's unfortunate that these victims

were shot and killed. But we need to do something about it in Milwaukee. And it doesn't look like

our elected officials are doing anything or screaming and hollering. There's there's no increase in

police activity. They're overworked and understaffed. And I'm looking at 12345 since Friday.

And so at some point, something's got to give. Normally when it starts to get cold outside,

crime goes down. I guess people don't like cold weather. But at some point,

at some point, something has to be done. And so we're either going to follow the rule of law

or we're not. We're going to make sure people who commit crimes are convicted and go to jail

and not leave any room for follow up. You remember the 10 year old that shot and killed his mother

had mental health issues, but they wanted to try that kid as an adult. But it was a Milwaukee county.

We got to try another adult. We got to get them. And they pretended like mental health didn't

matter in this 10 year old, who's clearly his brain wasn't developed enough to even no right from

wrong. And even if he said he did, he's 10. So if you don't know the

finality of taking someone's life, it doesn't mean anything. And I'm not putting words in that young

man's mouth. I haven't talked to him. I haven't read anything about him. All I know is what the

news reports about him. But at some point, you would think they would have compassion for a 10 year old.

The same compassion they gave to the 12 year old. But the problem with black people is many times

black children are looked at as being older and adults and more mature and meaner and more

culpable than white kids. And that's a problem. That's a problem when you carry it in your family.

It's a problem when you carry it into the jury box. It's a problem when you carry it into court

because you've already made up your mind. It's bias. It's implicit bias. But it's bias nonetheless.

It's something that's ingrained in all of us. We're all implicitly biased. I get that. But at some

point, we need to do something about it. We need to really take a look at what is happening in

this city. We've had five homicides and we've got a young lady in Madison who should be locked up

and who should have been in prison now escaped. Why did it take so long for us to find out? Why did

it take an entire day for an alert to go out that this young lady was missing? Who dropped the ball?

Was it the police? Was it the sheriff's office? Was it the Department of Corrections?

Was it the group home? Once they were notified, there should have been an alert throughout

day income throughout the state of Wisconsin. But yet here we are. Here we are. And somehow

the news media lets us down again. You're listening to the truth, unfiltered.

Dr. Kim Harris here. Denise Thomas is ticking the night off. Just me and Evan

holding down a fort thirty four minutes after the hour from the talking text line for one four six four

zero. Steve from Milwaukee said, I hope, well, I definitely hope Morgan gets found in sent to prison.

Whatever happened to our accomplice. Thanks. Her accomplice was released before her. To be honest with

you, I think the accomplice was more culpable because they spent too much time on the stabbing

but the accomplice was the one who spoke to her and talked her into doing it and told her to get

the knife and told her to stab her and told her when to do so we're we're talking about a young lady who

was having a party but made it so no one showed up to the party except Morgan and the victim.

And then they went for a walk and they tried to bang her head in one of the park outhouses in

a restaurant and when that didn't work when she ran it chased her and then ultimately stabbed her

19 times. So I hold the other girl more culpable because she from what I understand from what I

remember about the story talked the other girl and coerced the other girl Morgan into stabbing her

19 times. A girl who was schizophrenic who was easily manipulated at age 12 easily but the

other girl got released before her. And while everybody's paying attention to Morgan

the other young lady, I don't even think her name was mentioned in the in the in the in the story

because that's what happens. It's protectionism where we're just going to protect

anybody that looks like us where we're just going to protect. And and here's here's my argument, right?

People always think I'm making it a race issue. What I want you to do is prove me wrong.

If I say something you disagree with, citing unlimited WTMJ talk and text line is a five five six one six one six

20 tell me tell me or just keep quiet and don't say anything because that's how it usually is

unless you're in Virginia. So I saw this story on the root.com

I don't know who to ask. So I'm not I'm not going to ask the question. I'm just going to state it.

Does everybody think all black people know each other? Like I love people come hey you know so

and so I'm like no you don't know them like no I just said no it's like this thing that people think

all black people know each other. Well there is a friend's giving dinner at a Chesapeake restaurant

and they were told to leave because they were black.

My sister's circle and I were out celebrating our friend's giving. We arrived at the restaurant

shortly after arriving. We only had time to give drink orders. We didn't even get our drinks

and a physical altercation happened between two African American women. We did not know them.

We were not affiliated with them. They were at another table. They began to fight. The situation

was diffused by management and other staff members. The management came over to our table and told us

that they would not be surfacing us tonight. We had to leave. I questioned are you shutting the

entire restaurant down for tonight? No we're just not servicing you all because you all like to fight.

We became shocked, confused and he did that in front of the entire restaurant in front of all the

other patrons. No one else was asked to leave but us. I've seen it happen. It's happened to me

in the past. Somebody starts something. There's drama going on and they start looking at me. I'm like

what? I'm over here. I have nothing to do with that. Are you assuming I was with them and then I

moved over here? I've been sitting here in the middle of eating my food and they're looking at me like

what did you have something to do with this? What? When white people start a fight at a football or

baseball game, do you go to all the other white people around them and throw them out or just throw

the whole section out and do you throw the people out who were fighting? I'm sure they had friends

there. A group of black women in Virginia are seeking justice after their girls night out was

cut short. The women who maintained they were doing nothing wrong when they were asked to leave

the restaurant where they plan to have dinner. Say they were discriminated against by management

simply because of the color of their skin. Chicago, some of they'll hold a ride for dinner with

a group of friends at the Corkin Bull restaurant in Chesapeake, Virginia. Never going there.

Surely after they receded at their table, a fight broke out between two other women in the

restaurant who were not in their party, but they were black. Management got the situation under

control, removed the women, but then they left her humiliated. When she asked the manager,

she and her friends were being told to leave because the entire restaurant was being shut down as you

heard. She was told, no, we're just not servicing you all because y'all like to fight.

Wow. Guilty by association. Sounds right. Same thing happens in Milwaukee. One black person shoots

another black person and they're all bad. As we got up to leave, we felt like we were doing the

walk of shame. The group has hired an attorney and is deciding whether or not to take legal action

against the restaurant, but some of Hill Holt says that no matter the outcome, the pain she had her

friends experienced during what was supposed to be a fun night out is still with them. She said,

my sister Circle and I were celebrating our friends giving a night of fellowship, giving thanks for

our friendship, laughter and overall good time and to make memories. We definitely made memories,

but those memories are memories of pain, hurt, embarrassment, confusion, and humiliation.

Was management correct in doing that? A556161620. Was management fair or equitable?

Was management biased? It hasn't ever happened to you in Milwaukee. I know what's happened to me.

Guilty by association. I've been going in places to buy things. I remember one time.

I went to go buy a car. I was a police officer. One of my bosses at the district, I was totally

looking for a car. Every time I go try to buy a car, people just, they just, like I've literally gone

in places and they wouldn't even walk in and see me. I stood there for like 10 minutes and then I

finally went, okay, I'm leaving. Then he's like, oh, no, no, don't leave. He said to me, quote,

the black guy in the back, he'll be right back. I said, you can't wait on me. And then I realized,

white people, wait on white people at this dealership on the south side of Milwaukee and black people,

okay, wow. I said, tell you what, yeah, I'll take my money somewhere else. And so that's when I went

to my boss and my boss said, hey, you should, you should go check this guy. The guy is great. I told

him you're coming. And it'll be great. So like, go in. He says, what do you want to buy? I said,

don't want a new car. I want to use car because I never buy a news car. I think I, well,

Friday night, I bought my first new car in since 1994. 93. Fall 93. So that was 32 years ago.

I bought a new car. Everything else, every other car I've always bottled three years, and I'm done.

Three years, maybe 30,000 miles and I bought a car and it was good. Drown it until the wheels fell off.

Well, guess what? Last week, some wheels fell off. So I had to go get a new car. Unfortunately,

my wife got the new car. I got stuck with the old one. And so I go into the dealership and the guy

says, hey, can I help you? I said, well, someone's so sent me. He goes, oh, yeah. Okay. Well,

I'm looking for a used car, preferably within three years with mileage no more than 30, 35,000

miles on it. Didn't tell him because I'm going to pay cash because I don't like haggling and

fighting. And I don't mind just paying what it's what what you have on the sticker because I'm not

paying your interest and all that. So I figure I'll pay you more in interest if I finance. I got

tried to, anyway, this is another one. The one for Friday got tried to talk me to a 84 months.

I like you out of your mind. But anyway, I go in, I go, the guy tells me, hey, here's a nice car

for you. It's a van. Now, let me tell you what this van was. It was a Dodge van.

It was red with gold trim and gold chrome wheels. It was the ugliest car I've ever had. I said,

well, I don't want that car. I want to look at what you have. You know what he told me? That's

the only one we have to sail. I said, you're a car dealership. And you have all these cars on

a lot. And you're telling me the only car you can sell me. Is that one? He said, yes.

And I turned around and walked all the other ones were already sold are just waiting to get picked

up or something apparently. I guess this is a, this is a new car dealer. And I didn't mean that

is serious question out more asking more likes are castically like all the other cars are sold.

So you have access to pretty much any car in America. You can go in, buy it wholesale and sell

it to me. I'll wait a month. I'll wait two weeks. I don't care. I'll get you deposit. He said,

nope, that was the only car. I went back and told my friend number one. I'll never listen to you

again. Number two, that was just straight up discrimination. And then I reported him to,

I think I reported him to the state. But then I think what I did is I just badmouthed the guy so bad

because he sold a lot of cars to cops. So then my friend says, oh, well, my boss, I talked to him.

He didn't know you were police. What? Was that matter?

It shouldn't matter. Somebody's trying to buy a car. He's telling him a car does, it shouldn't matter.

Well, that's professional courtesy. I know, I know. But at the end of the day,

this counter whatever the end of the day, you're selling cars, you should sell a car. But what he was

saying was I was a black guy and he didn't expect me to be a black guy. So when I came in the door,

he just thought he was going to walk over me rent had the same issue when I went when my daughter

tried to buy a car and I went in with her and the guy tried, this is, I'm not, I like it here.

But sometimes it just gets, I get worn out. And it has ever happened to you in Milwaukee,

five, five, six, one, six, one, six, 20. Sometimes you just get tired. And, and that's what's called

for those of you who don't know black fatigue, you just get tired of having to fight stuff.

So you just give up. When we come back, can you explain to me why

my child care expenses are so high. Welcome back to the truth unfiltered.

50 minutes after the hour, 41 degrees in Milwaukee. You're listening to truth unfiltered,

Dr. K. N. Harris, today's Thomas is taking a much needed, much wanted, I'll be at, I'm jealous.

Night off. So before the break, we were talking about child care and how expensive it is.

Communityjournal.net has a story by Stacey and Brown that talks about how child care is draining

American families with a force that has begun to rival housing costs. And new national analysis

shows that in cities across the country, parents are paying more to care for their children

than to keep a roof a roof over their heads. Researchers at Lyndon Tree found that infant care

exceeds the average rent in 11 of the nation's 100 largest metro areas while child care for two

children exceeds rent in 85 cities across the country. The spike in expenses lands at a moment when

the federal shutdown had blocked funding for 140 head start programs that serve 65,000 preschoolers.

At least 20 programs have partially or fully closed directly affecting nearly 10,000 children whose

families now face sloring out a pocket child care costs with no federal support. Some people

are spending. This is from Matt Shulls, the chief consumer finance analyst for Lyndon Tree said

some people are paying $1,300 a month on child care. Now this is, this is me. I remember when my

kids were younger and trying to remember this was before my second daughter was born. So my oldest

daughter had to have been, she had to have been maybe three or four years old and we took her to

child care. Child care, you ready? At the time, if I remember correctly was in the neighborhood of

three or four hundred dollars a week. So we were paying about a thousand dollars a month for child

care because we both worked. Now had I known the tax implications of that today, I would have told

my wife to stay at home and I literally would have saved more in income tax than I would have

with both of us working. But when you don't know, they don't know. I tell people now if you've got a

two-parent household, one of you get a job where you can make as much money as you can and the other

one stay home. And the first 50% of your check whoever's working is taxed at the normal rate and

the other 50% is taxed at half the rate because your spouse or significant other or

baby's mama or baby's daddy is staying at home taking care of kiddo. And you actually would

bring home more money. And a lot of people in suburbs know that I used to wonder why do all the moms

work? Why do all the moms stay at home? Well now I know why. How can you have a half a million

dollar house with one person working and one will that's how? When you reach a certain economic level,

taxes benefit you. But when you have people like Mandami who come in who comes in and wants to

change everything and quote unquote, level the playing field. That means people with money,

people that spend, support communities, create jobs through small business. They don't get that.

And when you end those tax breaks for some businesses, they'll end up having to lay people off.

Like it's it's it's weird because every business pays tax on every employee. So when people say,

oh my god, you make all that money. You don't pay any tax. Well, yeah, you do.

Federal government taxes you for every single employee you have.

Now those same people went to those same legislators and lobbied for

or better tax laws that benefit people who make over a certain amount of money than a household

who are upper middle class and up and who own businesses.

So you could either complain about it or become an entrepreneur. That's just me. I say become

an entrepreneur. You should do that anyway. But childcare costs, Milwaukee follows at least 15%.

The 15% gap is the highest in the country. Milwaukee follows at nearly 15%

which are Omaha, Baltimore, Buffalo, Syracuse, Bokan, Minneapolis, Toledo, and Worcester,

also report infant care costs that outpace rent by significant merges. So we're talking

100 large areas, 1282 dollars per month compared to 1716 for a two bedroom rental.

Springfield, Massachusetts, $1996 just on infant care, but a two-pad bedroom apartment is 1734.

That's a shame. That's ridiculous.

And we see what happens to people. We see sometimes they hire the cheapest help

for the lowest amount of money, close to minimum wage, but then charge the arm and the leg.

And so now you have to question it. And I know there's some phenomenal

the majority of childcare facilities are phenomenal. They do great work and educate children and

all that and keep them safe, but $1900 a month. Some people only make $1900 a month.

That's like 24 grand a year. That's insane.

Hmm. How much do you pay a 556161 620? How much?

Well, let me rephrase that question. How much would you pay?

Because the other side to the equation is that's your kid. And you want your kid to be safe.

But if you're making $40,000 a year and your spouse is making $80,000 a year or $60,000 a year,

half of somebody's salary and granted it's not tax deductible. Half of your salary.

So let me ask the law. Let me think. Is there a way to use flex spending on childcare?

Or is there a way to use flex? I wonder. During the news,

break them out and look into that. Is there a way to use flex spending or something

in your company to pay for childcare that lowers your taxable income?

I think that's something that we need. I really did.

And I'm glad I don't have any children. I don't know you.

You're listening. The truth. I'm filtered on your health. That kid here. So we come back.

I got some great sound from Rodney and Holly Robinson Pete.

About a health man. Great interview that was done here on 620 WTNJ the other day.

I think you like it. We'll be right back.
