Yo Yo Yo He steps to the mic with a boom ping ping Wisdom sharper than a B sphere sting
Words like fireflies that light the night.
He turns the dark into blazing bright.
Boom, ping, ping.
The truth takes wing.
Milwaukee's voice let the city sing.
The Labor Day weekend is behind us in my opinion, and my opinion is always humble.
We are now in fall, even though technically the vernal equinox is not start for.
Oh, I don't know about two weeks and some change.
It's fall to me.
I've noticed the temperatures getting a little bit cooler and.
Before you know it, we're gonna be preparing for the long cold winter and of course the leaves are going to be changing and we got a welcome football season back.
There's only one kind of football and it's NFL.
It's not soccer.
All things are pointing to fall.
If you're one of those Caucasians, you probably like the pumpkin spice things and the pumpkin spice lattes and all of the things never really understood it.
But whatever, I'm not gonna yuck your yum.
Also, with this being fall in the year 2026, it is election season.
We are on a fast crash course toward the midterm election here in the state of Wisconsin.
Last week, I so desperately tried to get to some details on what is going to appear on all ballots in all 72 counties, regardless of what districts you live in, state Senate, state assembly districts.
There will be some referenda questions on that ballot and they are pretty complicated.
I certainly want to take the time and also if you guys have questions between now and the election, consider us your resource guide if you want to know more information or something doesn't make sense to you.
By all means, please lean on us here at 1017, the truth to demystify some of these pretty complicated concepts that are going to appear on our ballots in the form of referenda.
They are major.
They are significant and they will be permanent because it's not just asking a question and then the answer will be given.
It will change the Wisconsin Constitution, which is a very, very big deal.
So decisions that will be made come November 3rd, 2026 can have a long lasting will.
have a long lasting impact on the social, political, and even the economic, even the academic climate of the state of Wisconsin.
I want us to be particularly careful.
Now, I'm not going to tell y'all how to vote.
Unless you ask me, then I absolutely will, but I'd rather not because you're all very smart people.
You know what you want for yourself and for your future, you know what kind of community you want to live in and what you want this Community your community our community to look like in the future.
So I'm not gonna tell you Where and how you should vote unless you ask me then I'll let you know I'll tell you on air.
I'll give it to you when writing I Send you an email whatever it is that you need The era that we are in and I hope I really do hope that we are in the last throws
of the Trump administration.
I hope that he is dramatically reduced in his scope of power after these midterm elections.
I really, really hope so.
I'm nervous because the Republicans are relatively quiet.
That's not going to be the case for long.
They're having a midterm convention that bothers me a little bit as well, considering how bad everything is.
And we look at the tea leaves and we look at all the economic indicators and jobs data.
and the overall economy, it just isn't voting well.
And here's the thing, even if things were going well or even better, the political party that occupies the White House usually takes a bit of a thumping in the midterm election because there's a natural pendulum that swings amongst the American voter.
Sometimes we want the Democrats to do all the stuff and we tire of them, we want to give the Republicans a shot and vice versa.
It's not just the economy.
It's not just interest rates.
It's not just the price of gasoline diesel has hit an all-time high It's not just the wars not just the malfeasance It's not just the amount of money that Donald Trump has made in the two years of this presidency Eclipses all of the money made by every other US president combined.
It's not just the corruption It's just the overall climate of who and how we are.
It's not just the the warrants or the searches
With no warrants and locking up people.
Sometimes they are here in this country legitimately, but being accused of being here illegally.
All of these things come to a head.
It doesn't bode well for this president considering how bad like you could vote for a Democrat.
For any one of those things that I just said, let alone the culmination of all of those things that I just said and considering.
How bad it looks if you're just an average Republican average Republican right now gets beat by a no-name Democrat on most ballots in most states The fact that the Republicans are in this kind of trouble and they're gonna have to figure out how do they divorce themselves from Donald Trump because running alongside him and promoting his agenda is promoting high gas prices high grocery prices a war
corruption, malfeasance, the Epstein files.
So you, if you want to get reelected to the U.S.
Senate or the House of Representatives and running as a Republican, you've got to figure out how to distance yourself from him, but do it in a way that doesn't make him angry because then he will further bury you, even if you're already underwater in the polls.
So it's going to be a very difficult proposition.
For the Republicans and in the event that the Democrats get control of the house Oh, the impeachments are going to fly because there's real credible evidence that this man did commit some high crimes in misdemeanor So I want to prepare people for that because some of y'all will think it is a waste of time to impeach him because of what happened last time You don't necessarily impeach a president because you believe he is going to be removed from office
That is going to be a very tall order to accomplish because even in the previous impeachment, only seven Republicans in the Senate voted to convict and you would need 67.
We would not find 67 senators that would vote to remove Donald Trump.
Let me tell you why, because if they did, the Republican Party, as we know it, would end if you got enough Republicans to vote to excise their own.
Party member their own president from the White House people would lose faith in whatever the Republican Party is but considering all of this now they're being awfully quiet There's no major tours around the country Donald Trump is not hopping on Air Force one and going into places and towns and cities and trying to convince people to stay with him and to ride with him and to vote for Republicans now He's doing a little bit of it, but got to keep in mind.
Well a couple things he is getting older
But also Donald Trump loves a rally.
He really does.
He loves to travel and fire people up and speak for hours and hours on end Bloviating about absolutely nothing.
He loves going on these Rants and these raves about Kamala Harris and Joe Biden like that's his thing.
That's his
Thug fizzle if you will and he's not doing that because I think they're planning something I think they're gonna mess with us some kind of way I think they're plotting and planning something with the US Postal Service and plotting and planning something with the mail-in ballots Now I don't have any evidence and I can't say for sure But they're being awfully quiet considering what is at stake the president's future is at stake his businesses are at stake and potentially even though we've seen this before maybe even his freedom is at stake
So I will Keep my ear to the streets and as information becomes available on what the Republicans plan is I'll certainly let you know but in the meantime the Democrats have got to show and
prove
There are some people running for office There's even some voters who have moved decidedly more to the left because they believe that that is a good counter to what we are dealing with right now as a nation I can't tell you if
moderate middle-of-the-road voters who are the majority especially in midterm elections were turned out as low if they're going to respond to that or not I could guess but my guess would probably be just as accurate as yours all of that remains to be seen I do know this much we have to make sure we are taking care of business here in the state of Wisconsin so here's what I'm going to do as promised I'm gonna take a break I'm gonna come back we're gonna go through these ballot referendum we're gonna start there now
Because we got to understand some of this complicated language.
And they are not written in a simple, easy to digest way.
They are
very, very complicated.
And to get even more familiar with them, you, of course, can go to myvote.wi.gov, myvote.wi.gov, because some of you live in districts.
where there's going to be a hotly contested state Senate race or a hotly contested state assembly race.
And yes, of course, if David Crowley is to be elected governor, looking good though for Davis, looking okay.
I'm not trying to jinx nothing, but it's looking all right now.
Looking good.
Even though the Republicans haven't been pulled out their big guns.
Democrats got some big guns too.
I'm expecting what we call surrogate travel.
There's gonna be some big names Maybe a governor Westmore will come and visit.
Maybe we I don't know.
Maybe Oprah comes Kamala shouldn't come Kamala can't come to to campaign for David Crowley.
I mean, I like Kamala.
She's a nice lady
I've met her on a couple of occasions.
I've interviewed her multiple times nice lady, but I don't know if she can be convincing Oh, that brings us to our YouTube poll question of the day.
We're gonna get through this one We're gonna decipher this Will a woman be elected president in the next 10 years yes or no I Don't need your complicated explanations.
I don't need to talk about the damn patriarchy.
You want to talk about misogyny?
Go ahead put it in the YouTube comments, but I just want to know yes or no in 10 years
So in 10 years, we will be next presidential election is 2028.
That's two years plus eight years.
So three presidential elections from now.
Can we get will we get will you vote for that's really the question?
Will you vote for a woman president?
Let me throw this out here before I take my little scheduled hiatus.
It's only three minutes.
Don't worry about it.
A woman has never won.
the state of Wisconsin running for president you've only had oh major party Geraldine Ferrero 1984 Walter Mondale, I guess she was on top of the ticket, but they didn't win the state of Wisconsin Reagan did in 84 Hillary Clinton lost in a Democratic primary
So Bernie Sanders in 2016 and lost to the state of Wisconsin to Donald Trump in November of that same year Let's fast forward eight more years where Kamala Harris appears on the ballot running for president She also lost the state of Wisconsin now I can't speak for the rest of the country But I know in the state of Wisconsin when there have been opportunities To elect a woman or at least give a woman
the electoral college votes or the popular vote of the voters in the state of Wisconsin and has not happened.
And dammit, I want to know why.
Why y'all don't want a woman to be the president of the United States?
And you know who I'm talking to?
Women.
I know you're looking at me sideways because you typically do.
Women are the majority of the voters.
They're the majority of the electorate.
They vote in higher numbers.
Here's the other thing.
There are 6 million more women in the United States that are active voters compared to men.
You know, the last couple presidential elections only decided about 300,000, 400,000, 500,000 votes and a handful of states.
There's 6 million more women.
If women wanted it will be.
Now here's the thing, ladies.
I'll defer to you.
If you say Sherwin Big Daddy.
And I'll say yes, ladies.
Sure when we need you to support a woman the woman is running for president She's a very good woman.
Maybe it's a LC.
Maybe it's not I don't know who it's gonna be I have a sneaking suspicion the Kamala Harris is gonna running it.
I'm not entirely sure I guess we'll see what happens in the 2028 But if the ladies say sure when it's time for us to all come together and vote for a lady But hold on she got to be qualified long.
She's qualified or at least Damn, she's got to be at least better than Trump
so the standard is as low as it's ever been for president of the united states ladies you tell us man who would vote for we're gonna vote for us lady you know okay so ladies now here's the other thing i vote for a lady but i'm not watching the wnba that i can't do that i can't i tried i'd rather go to brown deer junior varsity game brown deer girls eighth grade game where the score is 11 to 1
Can't do the WNBA, but I could do a lady president.
No pun intended.

I hope he's not listening He asked me some political stuff and we're going back and forth on some things But at least he was respectful and said oh sure when I know that you're here enjoying yourself You probably don't want to be bogged down with these conversations about your day job, especially on a holiday weekend I was like you know what brother just because you're being respectful the body will continue our little chitchat
But now it was great running into people over the weekend and I do hope and trust that you all had a good relaxing fulfilling Labor Day weekend as well.
Every Wisconsin voter will see three statewide constitutional amendment referendum questions on the November 3, 2026 general election ballot
These are separate from any county municipal or school district referenda that may appear locally So depending upon where you live your school district might be asking for some more money Not here in Milwaukee not in the least not this time.
Let me tell you what NPS I know y'all cooking up a referendum.
You ain't gonna get no vote.
Yes for me.
I'm done with that You ain't juicing me no more Y'all got all my juice.
I ain't even got no juice left.
I've been juiced
I said yes in 2020.
I said yes in 2023 and 2026 and beyond.
Y'all gonna get no from Sherwin.
Can't do it.
Y'all gonna have to do.
Y'all don't even put air conditioners into schools.
Oh, it's too hot.
We gotta call off school on day two.
Well, why you gotta call off school on day two?
Because we didn't put the air conditioners in.
How come you didn't put the air conditioners in?
We didn't want to.
Wait a minute.
Did you ever have the money to put the air conditioners in?
Yeah, we had the money.
So what did you do with the money?
I don't know.
We didn't get air conditioners with it.
Well, how much was it gonna cost to retrofit all of the schools with the air conditioners?
I would be asking the NPS officials and the members of the NPS school board.
Oh, back then we got our estimate.
Um, about 550 million.
Okay, cool.
So.
So how much money did you have of the 550 million that was specifically carved out of ARPA money so you could upgrade the HVAC?
Because you know during COVID, they had to make sure that all the particulate matter got filtered out because they didn't want all the little COVID dust coming into the classroom.
So the federal government, Joe Biden, his administration, carved out a chunk of money.
for a bunch of cities, states, municipalities and school districts so that you could upgrade your HVAC systems to include air conditioning.
And so I would say to the school board, well, how much money did it would have cost to get the air condition?
550 million.
Okay.
How much did Joe Biden give y'all?
770 million.
So you had the money specifically designated to put
air conditioning in the schools and you didn't do it.
Nope.
Well, why didn't you do it?
Because it costs too much.
Yeah, but you had a surplus of two hundred twenty million dollars even after you would have put the air conditioners in the schools.
No, it was still too much.
OK, then.
So what did y'all do?
I bought box fans and put window unit air conditioners in a couple of schools.
Okay, well, how much did that cost 300,000?
So what does it all do with the other 769,700,000 dollars?
I don't know.
But can we have 800 million more?
Number one, the governor's partial veto power taxes and fees.
This is the valid referendum.
First one you go and see in November.
If you vote early, you might see it in September.
October if you receive a mail-in ballot maybe the end of September quote partial veto shall section 10 subsection 1c of article 5 of the Constitution be amended to prohibit the governor in exercising his or her should be just his
partial veto authority from creating or increasing or authorizing the creation or increase of any tax or fee.
I know that made zero sense to 92% of y'all and there's a reason why it made zero sense to 92% of y'all because when they write these referendum they don't write them to make them easy to understand but here's what's crazy.
They could but they opt not to.
They want you to be confused.
They want you to vote the wrong way.
I'll read it again Partial veto Shall section 10 subsection 1c if article 5 of the Constitution be amended to
Prohibit the governor in exercising his or her partial veto authority from creating or increasing or authorizing the creation or increase of any tax or fee.
Let's say Tony Evers wants to have more investments in public education.
This is a good example.
And the Republicans who control the legislature and they actually are the ones that create the budgets.
What the governor can do is he can sign it.
He can veto it.
or he can do what is called a line item veto where he can literally cross out words in the budget and form new sentences.
Only a few governors in the entire country have that power and it is incredible.
A governor can in a very covert way reconstruct the words created by the legislature in our biennial state budgets.
Okay.
Sony Evers was able to use his line item veto to increase school funding $400 a year in perpetuity and the Republicans had an absolute fit now in the grand scheme of things ladies and gentlemen That's not a lot of money You would not even notice that the other thing that we should tell you is that as time goes on Educating human beings is going to get more expensive, but you can't look at
the cost of educating people.
Look at the cost of when people are not.
Do you know how expensive ignorant is?
It's it costs trillions.
So the state of Wisconsin choosing under the leadership of Tony Evers to make just a minimal guaranteed investment in public education and perpetuity.
I see that as a good thing.
And the Republicans were so angry that the governor was able to do that.
that they put together a constitutional referendum question to make sure that governors are not able to do that again.
Let me give it to you in plain English.
Wisconsin governors have unusually broad authority to partially veto appropriation bills.
A yes vote would amend the state constitution so that a governor could not use the partial veto to create a new tax or fee or increasing an existing one.
a no vote leaves the existing constitutional rules governing the partial veto unchanged.
Sherwin is voting.
No, you can vote however you want to.
I'm voting in the negative on that.
Leave it alone.
It's because the Republicans got mad.
You don't change the whole Constitution forever because Republicans got mad.
You know what Republicans are, especially in the state of Wisconsin?
Our Republican legislators, they're the fat kid, but the fact it has the ball, okay?
And the kids want to play a game of pick up basketball.
Okay.
But only one kid has a ball.
Little fat kid freckles.
Nobody likes him.
He's got the ball.
And nobody wants the fat kid with freckles on their team, but they need the fat kid to play because the fat kid has the ball.
And the fact is,
well, I'm gonna take my ball and go home then.
And in the fact here, because nobody wants the fat kid on their team, they just take the whole damn ball and go home.
Not nobody can play basketball.
That's what the Republicans are.
If they don't get their way, they want to burn the entire thing down.
And this will also be looked at when history has its view of what we are in right now, this era of Trumpism.
Things like this referendum are going to be included in that book in that documentary and in that movie.
The future is going to look at us like we are patently insane as they should.
They're gonna look at all the stuff that Trump said all the stuff that he did they're gonna look at all the Impeachments they're gonna look at the Epstein files and look at the malfeasance They're gonna look at the corruption.
They're gonna look at the pillaging of the American taxpayer They're gonna look at the fact that a foreign government gave this dude a hundred plus million dollar airplane And he kept it and it's gonna cost another couple hundred million dollars because they got a strip the whole damn plane because it's full of listening devices and he accepted the plane
And people are gonna ask us for the rest of our lives in the future
What were y'all thinking in reelecting him and what are we gonna say well um We didn't want to Yeah, but
and you reelected him after that?
Yeah, we did, but wait, though.
They were trying to have a restitution fund for all of the people that stormed the capital, but we were able to stop that.
We didn't pay the people to storm the capital.
But didn't all the people that storm the capital, the hundreds, if not thousands of people, they got convictions, some felony convictions?
Didn't they all get pardoned?
Well, I mean, yeah, they did.
But we we didn't like we didn't like that.
OK.
But you but you reelected him again.
Well, yeah, because Kamala.
Because she was a black lady.
And then I think then the future will be like, oh, well, better a black lady or better Trump than a black.
No, no, let me get it right.
Jamaican.
And Indian.
not African American I'm gonna take a break come back read ballot referendum question number two and It is just as complicated as the first one also it should be noted I'm gonna give you some more information on this ballot referendum questions are written at between 17th and 18th grade level so someone who has beyond a master's degree
But the majority of the American voters are reading and comprehending at grade nine.
Better than 90% of the people in this country can't even comprehend the referendums on their ballot.
And y'all getting mad at Tony Evers wants to invest $400 every year in education.
We need to invest four million.
Because some of
read.
I
Don't touch that dial the truth with Sherwin Hughes will be right back on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth calm This is the truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth calm
So this ballot referendum relates to when everything was closed down and shut down and locked down during the COVID.
You couldn't go anywhere out in public because we had to get the COVID under control because we didn't want more people to get the COVID.
So you couldn't gather in public for a specified period of time.
There were some Republicans and conservatives that thought that COVID was a hoax, thought the vaccine was a hoax, and they were very angry that they couldn't.
gather in public.
You guys remember all the people that used to protest the fact that they couldn't gather in public and one lady was very angry because she couldn't get a haircut because the place where she went to get a haircut was closed because during COVID we had to lock down everything including the damn cost cutters where she got a haircut actually the worst haircut I'd ever seen in my entire life.
And here's what I think whoever that lady was and I hope she's listening.
She's out in Brookfield somewhere.
I'll never forget that protest.
Somewhere out in Waukesha.
Whoever styles her hair, they need to be closed.
You should never have a barber of scissors ever again because the lady's hair was jacked up.
I'm going to hold up a protest sign.
I can't even get a haircut or I want a haircut.
Somebody already messed your hair up.
You should try wigs.
You should try wigs.
White ladies, there's nothing wrong.
You can borrow some wigs from your black girlfriend.
They got.
If I had it to do all over again,
I don't know if I would have chosen the route.
Not making, you know, hindsight being 2020.
The route I chose pretty decent, but I think I would have gotten into beauty products.
Selling women stuff to make women look pretty for other women.
Like that's where the money is because.
Just I feel bad for you ladies cuz some of you were beautiful, but you look in the mirror.
You're like nah, I can do more Let me stick these baby hairs to my forehead.
Can we leave baby hairs in 2026 ladies?
Can we can we just end that trend can we also?
Not a fan of the lashes don't know what you're trying to do, but can we leave?
You just put on mascara, okay
Okay, let's talk to someone who knows all about beauty and fashion trends Hello Bob Hello
Sherwin You know didn't you say Friday you had to work Monday?
Because you reminded me of Martin Luther King day how did it how did it remind me of Martin Luther King day?
A guy who I used to work with, co-workers, was angry at me because I didn't mind working Martin Luther King Day.
I knew my boss probably didn't like blacks in his own way.
But he was mad and he wanted me to be mad.
And then I said, man, he probably wanted me to make that money.
Martin Luther King wanted me to make that money.
And then the guy, this guy 250.
Six, two, grab me.
And you don't grab no wrestling.
You know, I don't care how big you are, unless you know how to wrestle.
I just grabbed his leg, tripped the other leg, pulled him and said, like, you want me to kneel up?
And he walked away.
He was the winner.
But listen, Sherwin, I got two things, two things that I want you to understand.
I would like you to understand.
When I told you a long time ago, Trump is toast.
That hood again is toast.
Number two, the second thing I told you, when Biden quit on that weekend, I said, we ought to try to get Newsom to give him the money.
And then you said to some about, you know, we don't do that.
As many laws as Trump has broken, that ain't nothing.
That man should have ran, and Trump would have got another foot in his behind.
And the man probably wouldn't have been able to walk that walk worse than it is now.
I told you that.
And my last point is, my last point, and I'm gonna let you go.
You you you frequently mentioned the word H O
E S What word H O
Don't you know Carrie and
real they don't like they go eventually get angry with you about that word and other women who listen to your show
You say it too quickly.
Both
Everybody knows what you mean, man.
What's the word?
What's my favorite word?
I have to give
racing.
I came back.
If you've got listeners that listen to that word, so you need to
stop.
Listen, I would talk to you
Topics man for me not to call man.
I try not
do say the word
I had to eliminate B word and the H word when I raised two daughters and a son by myself.
I had to eliminate those two words.
Bob, most
When I use the H word, I'm usually talking about men, but I need you to say the word.
What's my favorite word?
Listen, you better not tell until December 29th.
Next time I hear from you.
I want to hear happy new year.
You better say the word I will block you from calling you will never be able to call Nobody never never again.
You better say the word
say the word So it's good listening to you.
You don't let me call could you bring up some good copy?
And I was talking to you later sir and quit saying that word So I
official ballot question quote freedom to gather in places of worship during an emergency shall section 18 of article one of the Constitution which deals with religious liberty be amended to prohibit the state or a political subdivision of the state from ordering the closure of or forbidding gatherings in
places of worship in response to a state emergency, including a public health emergency.
Let me give you that in plain English.
I'm going to take a break.
We're going to come back and figure out what the hell these Republicans is doing.
All they're saying is that if there's another global pandemic, they want to be able to go to church.
Have church in the house.
That's, you know, it's not the same.
Don't do that.
Don't put on them church services to be coming on broadcast TV because you didn't want to go to the house of worship You better pass it was asking what no sister sister Rose.
I didn't see you at Sunday.
Where was you at sister Rose?
Oh pastor, you know, I I Wasn't feeling where the Lord
A yes vote would constitutionally prevent Wisconsin State or local governments from ordering churches and other places of worship closed or prohibiting gatherings there during an emergency, including a public health emergency.
So you know what they could do, right?
So let's say we have another pandemic.
And who knows, Trump might invent one so he gets to stay for a third term.
So technically, you would just have to have a place of worship, right?
It could be a strip club.
No, no, no, we're going to the strip club to worship the female body form.
It's a place of worship.
So now you'll have all these different loopholes.
Might have a bar or a nightclub where people are coming to worship the DJ.
Well, then technically, we get to stay open during the pandemic because y'all voted to change the damn constitution, take a break, come back.
Shout out to the people at McBob's on 49th and North.
They have us tuned in.

on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth.com you are listening to the truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the
truth.com
No.
Why would you even ask something like that?
That's ridiculous.
There's a lot of things that we should leave in 2026, twerking on fire.
Oh, where are they going to twerk at?
Reginald, you got a better place.
Fire truck provides perfect platform to mercilessly shake your tail feather.
It's elevated.
It's red.
It's attention grabbing.
It's got sirens on it.
Thank you.
It's working on a fire truck.
Come on.
That's what life is about.
Alfonso Duprius, Mr. Madi.
Professor Hughes, I was trying to buy y'all the young lady.
said y'all was good.
So here's the problem I did.
You stood here at this window for 15 minutes trying to do sign language and hand signals.
Brother, there's 20 restaurants here.
If you wanted to buy the food, pick a restaurant, buy the food, leave the food, we'll come eat the food, okay?
He just stood there, which means you didn't really want to buy us no food.
You know how many restaurants is here?
Every time I close my eyes and open them up.
It's a new restaurant here in the 3rd Street Market Hall.
You could have went and got some pizza.
You could have got some wind.
They got Greek food.
I think the Greek place is gone.
You got foe right here.
You got all the restaurant.
You got cookies and donuts.
You got all sorts.
You got pastries.
You could have bought a brother of paste.
You could have got a brother of burger.
But no, what you do, you just stood here looking at me.
I'm looking at you.
I'm over here doing a radio show.
You just standing in the window.
This is a bad idea anyway.
People don't come here and buy us food.
Don't do it.
Unless I'm really hungry.
I want some McBob's corn beer.
Better than Jake's.
I don't go to Jake's no more.
Why would I do that?
Go to McBob's and the people at McBob's are better.
They're McBetter and McBob's.
Thank you.
Have you been to McBob's Xavier?
Okay, well.
Should
go it's
I'm more of a burger
or some tortas
That's what I'm talking about.
You're not I know exactly what you're talking about because you got the little smirk on your face because you're a damn pervert Was you out here thotting this weekend were you a hoe?
Were you the word that Bob spelled this weekend?
Were you hoeing it up?
Were you twerking on fire trucks?
Or did you see women twerking on fire trucks and then you rescued them from the fire trucks?
You know, I'm thought it out.
Yeah, just too much meaningless, passionate love making going on.
What's his name?
Oh, good heavens to mercy.
In plain English, a yes vote would constitutionally prevent Wisconsin state or local governments from ordering churches and other places of worship clothes or prohibiting gatherings there during an emergency, including a public health emergency.
So here's what's crazy.
You can have a legitimate business.
And if you offer some kind of religious service there, it could be considered.
a place of worship so therefore what the Republicans want to do in a very covert way by using religious language is to get people to vote.
Yes, on this referendum so that nothing would close.
During the next pandemic, which I believe.
would further spread and exacerbate the pandemic because here's something that I found out and it's still proving itself to be true and I'm done talking about it.
I'm not over here trying to convince anybody anymore.
My time for convincing people was late 2020 and then into most of 2021.
After that, I'm done convincing you a whole bunch of y'all are anti-vaxxers.
Y'all can be that.
A bunch of kids in Wisconsin got measles, which you want me to do.
I tried to tell y'all.
Y'all don't want to get vaccinated.
Now your kids got got speckles on their face and not a fever is going to be so high because the measles gives you a fever.
It boils their little baby brains, which you want me to do.
It's literally a shot that can prevent that.
But you know what?
You're a bunch of Lindsey clansies.
All y'all want to do was kill your kids.
Well, some of y'all kids want to kill you.
I was listening to Homer and Bailey this morning and apparently a 20 year old stabbed her mother 12 times.
But the mother's fine.
The mother was just like, oh, yeah.
I'm not gonna.
Is the mother pressing charges or she's not pressing charges?
Um, I'm not sure but all I know there is another woman that was inspired by Lindsey Clancy that killed her kid and Yeah, now they're trying to say oh We have pity for her I'm
We don't want to get the vaccine sure when
No
need to thin the herd anyway Too many dumb people
Will net we'll so we will not outlast This planet we are the virus The earth is the host.
I love giving this analogy.
Let's see if I can give it in 40 seconds When you get sick you get a fever that is your body raising its core temperature To kill the virus because the virus can only live in a certain temperature range you get a fever the virus ultimately can't
Stand the high temperature now.
You're getting very very sick, but at least your temperature being raised Kills the virus We are the virus and the earth is heating up Eventually more polar ice caps will melt more storms more wildfires more hurricanes the earth has a fever and It's trying to kill the virus which is human beings the truth with sure when he was to be back for our two

The truth with Sherwin Hughes will be right back on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth.com
You are listening to the truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth.com
I think it's time, ladies and gentlemen, we need a change.
You know what I mean?
We need to go in a different direction when it comes to who we elect to run this nation.
I think that we've given men a chance.
We've given lots of different men a chance.
We've given a black eye chance.
He was probably a Muslim.
Maybe he wasn't.
I don't know.
He was a good president, though.
He got you some Obamacare.
Got a guy now who's in there.
He's, whoa, he's a piece of work, isn't he?
He's something else.
He had a couple of bushes.
He had a Reagan.
He had a Kennedy.
He lost his mind.
Linden Johnson had a lot of different men presidents.
I think it is time What are we afraid of that a woman is gonna run the country better?
she might She might give us paid family leave men should get paid family leave to They should men should be able to take however many weeks and months off and get paid for we got the money
Think it's time for a woman president.
Let me check our YouTube poll because I asked you on the YouTube poll because you know It's something that we do every day because we here at one on one seven the truth have inquisitive temperaments We asked you via YouTube will a woman be elected president in the next ten years.
So I'm setting a timetable Not will a woman be elected president ever know within the next Three ish terms there's gonna be several women that are going to run
in this upcoming election cycle for 2020.
There's women that run every single year.
I just don't know what it is that they can't get across the finish line.
Well, let's find out who the electorate actually is.
Using the newest census voting data, the cleanest way to describe the American electorate is this.
Women are the larger and more electorally active gender group.
White voters remain the largest racial block and the electorate is gradually so gradually becoming more racially diverse.
For the November 3rd, 2026 midterm election, the best baseline is the 2022 midterm adjusted for population growth and the demographic composition observed in 2024.
The Census Bureau's latest American Community Survey estimated about
245,300,000 US citizens age 18 and older the citizen voting age population or the CVAP Women represent 51.2% and men 48.8 There are 125,700,000 women voters.
There are 119 points.
So this is
Estimated for 2026 there will be 125 million 700,000 lady voters there will be 119,000 119 million 600,000 man voters white alone 162.4 million white voters black voters 30.0 million black voters were only 12.2% of the CVAP
That's enough to make a difference in some elections though, uh-oh bad news African-Americans will be 30.0 million of the electorate coming up on our next election Hispanic and Latino voters are 35.7 million.
Oh, they got us Asians we love the Asians very much 12.8 million Asians
American Indian Alaska native their 2.2 million voters and people that have their own separate categories for people that are multiracial or biracial or tri-racial I guess you're tri-racial if you try anything they are 24.9 million people they are 10.1% of the electorate
Race and Hispanic origin do overlap in the census, so racial rows should not simply be added together.
Hispanic voters can technically be of any race, which is confusing to me, but whatever.
Women are clearly more active voters than men.
So ladies, I don't understand.
You guys can make the decision to have a lady president, a lady governor.
We do not have a lady running for governor in the state of Wisconsin.
In fact, if I'm not mistaken, I don't think that a woman has ever made it to a general election, a November election in the state of Wisconsin's history.
I could be mistaken.
I don't think so.
I think it's always been men folk in the state of Wisconsin.
In the 2024 presidential election, 81,500,000 women voted.
I want to say that number again, because you know who won in 2024.
Not the woman.
In 2024, 81,500,000 women voted.
72,800,000 men voted.
That leads me to believe one thing and one thing only.
That that larger turnout of women voted for Donald Trump.
I can't.
They voted for him over her.
I have my theories.
That is substantial.
The women outvoted men in 2024 by 9 million votes.
8.7 million more votes they cast to be specific.
Woman turnout in 2024 where the woman lost.
was 66.9% male turnout was 63.7.
Women actually accounted for roughly 52.8% of registered reported voters compared with about 47.2% for men.
The Census Bureau notes that women have voted in higher rates than men in every single election since 1980.
Ladies, what are you doing?
I can't.
Why don't we do this?
We'll take a break.
Okay, come back We'll talk to Coach Keith Tozer championship coach of the Milwaukee way and he wants to talk about an event that is coming up He is working with the American Heart Association He's gonna be headlining the Southeast Wisconsin Heart and Stroke Walk
CPR credit with saving his life, the life of former wave coach Keith Tozer after a near fatal cardiac arrest last year in Boston.
Let's talk to coach on the other side.
We're listening to the truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 of him.
Don't go anywhere.
I'll be right back.
The truth with Sherwin Hughes returns after this on 1017 the truth, the truth app and 1017 the truth.com.
You are listening to the truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth comm
Keith Tozer is in studio coach.
Welcome to the program.
How are you?
Good morning.
Sure.
How you doing?
I'm good I'm glad that you're here with us because about a year ago at Boston Logan You had a bit of medical emergency.
I'm sure it was a regular routine day like any other you did suffer a heart attack.
Is that correct?
Cardiac arrest, but yes Boston Logan
Yeah, and you know this story happens every day across the world amazing how much more I know about it now, but on November 11th.
I was at Boston Logan.
I was coming home to Milwaukee The notes to me
I was going to go down with a cardiac arrest.
remember one thing.
My plane was delayed on Monday and then canceled.
So I got a hotel right at Boston Logan.
I had not remembered any of that until several months ago.
Then that came back.
So I remember calling my family.
I got to stay at the hotel.
I remember checking out and walking, I believe.
Towards the airport, which is a hallway from the hotel So the rest is told by two women one adult employee named Ann Marie and one the woman who saved my life Sharon whose name was Ann Marie
And by the
way, my mom's mom is Ann and my dad's mom is Marie So it seems like there's a lot of Ann Marie's in my life
they are
It's amazing feeling walking into a room and approaching someone who saved your life.
You know, it's difficult in the sense that you really don't know what to say.
Obviously, you're joyful for that angel to be there.
Do you thank them?
Do you love them?
I mean, so it's kind of crazy.
So apparently I went down 445 in the morning and of all the flights out of Boston Logan, everyone was on time except one.
and there was Anne's flight.
And she happened to be standing in line.
She saw me face down with the backpack.
Two guys looking at me.
She jumped the line, came over, turned me over.
I had a button down shirt at the time, ripped my shirt open because she didn't find a heartbeat and started CPR.
She told the two guys and whoever was there, get an AED.
So she performed.
CPR for eight minutes, which is a long time.
I don't know if anybody who's listening has done CPR to push down on the sternum to keep the heart pumping.
It takes a lot of strength.
And normally, if you and I are somewhere and we see someone that needs it, you're going to do it for a minute.
I'm going to do it for a minute.
You're going to do it for a minute.
I'm going to do it for a minute.
She did eight straight.
And she told me
I go, my God, you were so committed.
She goes, I knew you were someone's husband, someone's father, someone's uncle, someone's friend, and I was not going to let you go.
So finally they got the defibrillator, hit me once, didn't work, kept CPR going, hit me twice, nothing, hit me a third time, nothing, hit me a fourth time.
And the way the AED works that if it does get a heartbeat, it won't shock you.
So the fourth time it didn't work.
Knowing that I had a heartbeat at that time paramedics came and thank God again I was a mile and a half from Boston General Mass, which is considered one of the top heart hospitals in the country and I was off apparently to the hospital the first thing I remember Because they had called my family and said he's not going to make it fly out to Boston So they all flew out to Boston that day Tuesday.
I remember waking up in the
Well in the ICU with the priest giving me my last rights With my family behind the priest and I was off to the operating
yeah
Yeah, can we speak for a moment?
Because you know these these emergencies take place Every single day about 70% of adults out of hospital cardiac arrest happened at home Approximately 80% of heart attacks and strokes are in fact preventable through education died in lifestyle
In the event that someone goes down with a cardiac arrest, there may be people in the vicinity that that know CPR.
But you got to have a lot of courage because you're probably going somewhere in the middle of something.
You have to stop what you are doing and dedicate your time, your effort and your strength into saving a stranger's life.
And we just speak to the courage that it takes because most people, quite honestly, coach, they'll just see something.
Oh, I'll let somebody else take care of it.
Let me.
Let me keep on going.
Somebody else will handle the situation.
That's a life or death situation.
So just speak to the courage and encourage people if they see someone in need of medical attention and they shouldn't just walk away.
You know, CPR is a superpower.
It really is.
I mean, it saves lives.
To have the courage to work on someone and to have someone's life in your hands, it's a remarkable thing for a human being.
The scary thing is, Sharon, is that people will react to a male who's down in the ground much quicker than reacting to a female.
Because they don't know how to touch this woman.
I don't want to have somebody come back at me.
So, I mean, there's that stigma there, too.
But to have someone's life in your hands is probably a remarkable thing.
I mean, I didn't do anything.
I died.
Okay, it was Anne Marie.
That was a special woman and for all the people that do CPR and save people lives.
I mean, it's amazing.
It's kind of like it reminded me.
It's funny when you said that it reminds me of the story you hear that someone gets in a car accident and someone picks up a bumper of a car to save someone's lives.
That moment where God gives you that extra strength to do that.
I mean, that is.
That is special.
There are special people in the world.
There is no question
The two big steps, the hands-only, is get those compressions going and call 911.
Those are the two big steps.
That's all you really need to know.
But we can also get the full certification going for folks, too.
But what we're really always pushing for as an organization is to get that hands-only CPR so we can get in the hands of as many people as we can.
We want people to be joining the nation of lifesavers, which is what we talk about all the
time.
I don't know 2,500 people today cardiac arrest heart attack in our country Only 3% of those people that do have those episodes live only I don't repeat that only 3% of all those people actually survive I would love the governor and Got people in government in the state of Wisconsin, and I know some high schools do it
Can you imagine if we could get 14 through 18 year old high school students CPR certified That and so many of these happen at home a woman came up to me in my gym today and said that a friend of hers 57 years old was by himself Had a heart attack and there was no one to perform CPR Can you imagine if all the high school students who are always with mom and dad grandma and grandpa and uncle and by the way
This happens to children, right?
I think it would be an amazing story for the state of Wisconsin and how many people lives would be saved if we could just do that.
High school students are so wonderful and they'll empower them with the superpower that only takes an hour to learn.
I think is amazing.
They're listening to this show because I don't know why they wouldn't be.
So maybe that is a.
A policy that they can support, quite honestly, it should be a requirement to graduate from a public high school in the state of Wisconsin, because if we want young people to know life skills, being able to save a life is a very valuable life skill to have.
Speaking with Keith Tozer, championship coach of Milwaukee Wave, former, still a champion in my eyes, 10,000 cardiac arrests occur in the workplace every single year.
and November 2024 survey 39% 103 million US adults of respondents reported feeling extremely confident or very confident when asked about their confidence and correctly performing CPR and that's up from 33% so the numbers are trending in the right direction but let's bring awareness to
These issues there is an event coming up.
It is a walk dated Tuesday September.
No, that's today's date Saturday, September 26.
There we go at the Henry Mayor Meyer Festival Park.
It's the Southeast Wisconsin Heart and Stroke Walk.
Can you give us some details about that and who should attend and why people are getting together on that day, September 26?
Well, I think there's several different groups who should attend.
Obviously people
who have gone through heart attacks, cardiac arrest, who are family members, aunts and uncles, I mean everybody, obviously those people should come because we'd like to honor them because it's not only to raise money, it's the way to raise awareness, right?
I also think, I never thought, Sherwin, that this would happen to me.
I go to the gym every day.
I work out.
I eat well I had a hereditary issue and we can talk about that because if you have a hereditary issue No matter what it is or the mom and dad and uncle grandma and grandpa go get checked out.
I'm telling you go get checked out for the people who Think that they're not gonna be touched by this.
I think that's a great day for them to come out those kind of people because to learn to be with other people
that will empower people.
That's the truth.
So I think there's so many different groups to raise awareness.
You know, I moved in Wisconsin 1992 with the Milwaukee wave.
This is a wonderful state of people who care for each other.
It really is.
And it's a great moment that we all can get together and walk and we save one person's life because of the awareness that day.
Then I think we've done something remarkable
and found out that my youngest has it so I had a thing called mitra valve Which is the left ventricle valve that just collapsed again, I eat well I train every day
The doctor said that he walked into my room.
I see you, Dr. Langer.
And he said, well, coach, how you feel?
And I go, I'm depressed.
And he goes, dude, you should buy a lottery ticket.
Why are you depressed?
And I go, because I eat well.
I work out every day, so forth and so on.
And this happened to me.
And he said, look, it's not what you ate.
It's not smoking or drinking.
It's none of it.
You just had a hereditary issue that decided to go.
So.
We had our kids test it and one has it so at least we're aware of it young people on the court basketball players volleyball players There's a woman at NWSL.
She's 19 to 20 years old went down.
You got the Mar the Buffalo Bills player in the middle of a game He goes down and thank God there was CPR there and an AED so this is this is Unfortunately, this is everywhere, you know
The the colonoscopy used to be 65 and over now they moved it to what showing
45 higher risk.
I got my first one at 42.
Yeah, I think it's gonna go lower I I think the same thing with heart.
I think now with MRI and Artificial intelligence and all the things we have in the medical field.
Why not get your because let me tell you everybody's got some kind of plaque something with the heart
and they might as well know about it because of the advancements of science and healthcare.
I really, really do.
The park is going to open at 8 a.m.
It will be at the Henry Mayer Meyer Festival Park, the Summerfest Ground.
a 5k walk slash run to benefit the American Heart Association.
The 5k begins at 9 a.m.
with a $45 registration fee.
Opening ceremonies, 9.45 a.m.
and the walk, no fee, begins at 10 a.m.
Mallory Anderson from WISN 12 will be the featured MC and of course the featured survivor, former Milwaukee Wave Soccer Coach.
Keith Tozer, who I have the pleasure of speaking with right now, who suffered a near fatal cardiac arrest at Boston Logan Airport.
New this year is the B Extraordinary Experience, experienced by the American Heart Association as one destination for survivor celebrations, hands-only CPR, prevention education, family fun,
and heartfelt remembrances.
And I think at the end of the day, getting people out and active and running and walking, a lot of our health elements, especially when they relate to the heart, assuming they're not genetic, diet and exercise are so incredibly important.
So having this walk might be the motivation to get more folks out and moving around because these sedentary lifestyles are not really helping us out much.
Can I throw some out there?
Absolutely.
Dan can give everybody the website.
What's the website, Dan, for signing up?
Was just looking that up actually coach.
Um our regular website is s is s e Southeast so s e w i heart walk org.
That's our main one And if you give me a second, I got to look up yours because yours has a little bit of a different

so I mean this is everywhere
If you go to the website and you want to join my team, it's called Play With Heart.
Tozer's team.
I'd love for you to join.
For all the soccer listeners out there, the Milwaukee Way players will be there.
Ownership group will be there.
Sean Amini, who's the president.
Again, you want to join my team, Tozer's team, Play With Heart.
Just go to the South East Wisconsin American Heart Association website.

There is no fee for the walk and our Mallory Anderson from WISN 12 is going to be the MC of the event.
Coach, thank you so much.
Keep up the good work.
Let's continue to spread awareness.
And you know what?
You're probably going to outlive all of us, actually.
No.
And Dan, thank you so much for being here as well.
Thanks for having us on.
And if I could just add real quickly, if folks haven't been to the Heart and Stroke Walk, this would be my sixth one as the Communications Director.
The Survivor Lane, if you want some emotions, come to the Heart Walk and watch the Survivor Lane.
Watch these folks come through the finish line.
with their family and their friends and AHA staff cheering them on and we usually get groups of high school kids cheerleaders come and just the energy in the park is I'm getting tingles and talking about it.
Survivor Lane is amazing so if you haven't been to a heart and stroke walk please come out on that day watch see Keith talk about his story see all the folks the energy that you're gonna feel the love that you're gonna feel in that park.
It's amazing and it's just we're going to have a great day.
We're raising money, raising awareness and really applauding and cheering on everybody.
My honor, Sherwin.
Great to be here.
Don't touch that dial.
The truth with Sherwin Hughes will be right back.
on 1017 The Truth, The Truth App, and 1017TheTruth.com.
This is The Truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 The Truth, The Truth App, and 1017TheTruth.com.
I hope I don't have a heart attack on there.
Suck.
Well, at least I got a new CPR twin.
Zach is already ex- Zach is a fast 9-1-1 dial.
He died 9-1-1 fast.
He said, oh snap.
Sure was dying.
Then I woke up, saw a bunch of Ripley firemen.
Stick with us, buddy!
No, I'm in the wrong heaven.
I would have laid my holy hands on you.
You would have been healed.
Don't don't be laying on second thought.
Go with God, Sherwin.
Just go walk into the light.
I want to ask him about because people say they see a light when they die.
I don't know.
I think that this might be the brain losing oxygen.
I think when you die, it's just over.
You know what I mean?
I think it's just.
And it's just you're done.
There's no angels and no pearly gates.
I'd like to think that when you go that it's all lovely and wonderful, but it ain't no guarantee.
What if it's like the Hindus say, you know, depending on what kind of life you live depends on what you're going to be reincarnated as.
So I'm on my last life.
So this is the end of my journey.
And so everyone who has not been reincarnated a Pisces, you have yet to come back as one.
So I'm done after that.
Maybe this is when I get, I get my rest.
So here's the thing.
The universe is so big.
They said that there is a planet.
or a place in space that is literally everything right so there's a planet somewhere where all the women are beautiful and I can eat all the chicken wings I want to never get fat um there's some planets that have flying cars there's some planets like there's like a term for it the universe is so infinite that any possibility of anything actually exists that's what I want to do I want to spend my time traveling the universe and go into planets where the WNBA is fun where the weather is perfect
Where they have flying cars, you know what I mean?
Like that would be cool to spend eternity just traveling and maybe I run into some of my relatives Hey relatives Sharon we saw what you was doing down there.
We're not very happy.
Oops.
I'll have to leave then you guys
What if you land on the wrong planet?
Yeah, a planet ruled by the whites and they were they killed all the
blacks
Welcome back.
How are you?
I'm doing fine, but the real thing do you probably do you really want to go to heaven?
Especially all the people who kept up all that chaos on earth and was nothing but a peasant that wasn't nothing from the time of they death and all they did was just apologize and got to heaven Now you're gonna be breaking wine bottles and be trying to go inside the head because you asking yourself why I never did nothing wrong, but you let this you let this bucket up here now
Moving forward, dying is a part of life.
But what we ask is why are the good people keep going and why do certain people keep getting spared?
You know, we have those days when we just say, die, die, die, like these so-called racists.
We say, well, you've got all these issues with these people.
Why do you have them put a loaded shotgun in your mouth and pull the trigger?
Just die.
We don't care where your brains go.
We don't care if they look like raw chicken liver, gizzards, or even sushi.
Just die.
You know, you have so many people who lived in peace and harmony who wasn't bothering nobody, and they can't get a break.
So when I hear this stuff, I'd be like, I hope some people need to die.
We hope some of you racist people die immediately.
Matter of fact, just climb in the cast.
Okay, sometimes we hope the spirit is so right like maggots and their own personal hell just die die die Okay, especially the religious ones who hold the Bible and some of you white religious There was no it wasn't even no white people in the Bible So you shouldn't be trying to tell anybody about born in the Bible that you had no part in some of y'all should just die That's it.
Okay, and that's and but the problem is mr. Hughes
They don't want to do the world a favor.
Or the people who gets happy watching people suffer.
We'd be hoping you die immediately.
In your sleep.
Bleed through the mattress, okay?
We don't care where your blood goes.
Now, you brung up earlier, you know, about, you know, people, you know, getting their houses blown up.
You know why all this stuff is happening?
Because can't nobody take a ass whooping?
Don't nobody want to get beat out, they socks, they shoes, they drawers, they bras and panties.
People want to weaponize the police, weaponize the justice system.
They want to move at night.
They want to move in groups.
They don't want to sit here and say, beat my ass like a real 304.
Let's jump down like some real chicken heads and tear this MF up.
We're not going to bring the weapons.
We just going to fight it out like a bunch of wild animals.
They're not going to do that.
So what they're going to do is pick on people who are not bothering them.
And those people should just die.
That's it.
Because when you die, they ain't going to think about you after two weeks.
Hey, some of y'all need to die now.
And when you go to these funeral, you see some of the people that you'd be like, well, you should be the one sitting in the casket, not the person that's the lady who's been touched by the involvement fluid.
Why are you still standing here?
Why are you still being scared?
You wasn't nothing when you were born.
There ain't nothing in the day.
You should have died yesterday and tomorrow and tonight.
You still ain't good for nothing.
Just die.
Okay.
So I don't understand it myself.
So, you know, dying is just a part of life, but hey, some people just need to die.
And the quicker those people die, people can continue to live in peace and harmony.
And I'm gonna tell you this, Mr. Hughes, you might be too good to go to heaven.
Okay, because there's a lot of people being allowed in heaven that should have never been there.
After causing all that trauma, some of them raise their kids, kill people, let people die, and now your feet getting cold and your body is starting to rock from the inside out and you want to go to heaven, die immediately.
You don't belong in heaven.
Okay, and some of these people don't belong in hell.
They need to go to a cold hell where nobody is at.
Because even if they get down there, they're going to tear it up.
Some people just need to die, whether it's family members, racists, politicians, people who sit there and try to act like they're good and great choke on your tongue and die.
And all it takes is a finger on the trigger and pull the bullet and do the world a favor.
Hey, Jesus don't even want them.
What Jesus probably said, well, I don't think our only reason now that you come up here because...
You can have no way else to go.
But what Jesus said, don't come up here being a disease passing.
We don't need no Christopher Columbus up in heaven.
Now everybody walking around here with the heebie-jeebies.
So anyway, that's all I had to say.
Some people just need to die out and die off quick and immediately.
And have yourself a great day, by the way.
And all you have to listen has to live in peace and harmony.
Do something kind for yourself.
But when people die, ask yourself, why do the ones who ain't never been good for nothing from the time they was birth keep being spared?
Just die.
Have yourself a good day, by the way, y'all.
Bye bye.
Bye bye.

Al had a lot to say.
He hasn't been able to call for a while, so he had all that pent up emotion.
Let it go.
He spewed it all.
the place he had spewed big spurt of pent up aggression talking about heaven and people need to die you know what I just yeah there are some people that are not very nice but I don't wish death on anybody just leave me alone I generally don't really care what people do just don't
Just leave me alone and do whatever you're gonna do Okay, it's very simple.
I don't care.
I don't see nothing You can if you're doing bad stuff I'll turn my head like I didn't see that I'm not looking I don't want to see Not not gonna snitch.
I mean, maybe I snitch depends on what it is.
You're doing I might snitch a little bit But you know, whatever Will a woman be elected president in the next 10 years
52% of you say yes, 47% of you say no.
81.5 million women voted in 2024, 72.8 million men voted.
So the fallacy that the majority of men voted for Donald Trump, I don't think so, I don't know.
How does that math work out if women outvoted men?
Help me understand this, because this is defying my comprehension.
A majority of women had to have voted for Donald Trump.
We're assuming probably a majority of white women.
We don't really talk much about black women that voted for Donald Trump because they've got to be out there.
I mean, there's not maybe not a lot, but you'll have more black men.
There's a few.
Remember Diamond and was other ladies named Diamond and Silk Diamond and sat in those two black ladies that Donald Trump used to travel the country with back in 2016.
I think one of them died actually.
Diamond and Silk, two black ladies.
They're kicking.
No one is dead.
I'm pretty sure there are sisters.
I think women accounted for roughly 52.8% of registered voters compared to 47.2% of men.
So if all of the men voted for Kamala Harris, which they didn't And all the women voted for Donald Trump and men couldn't have made the difference
The 2022 census data are especially useful because 2026 is also a congressional midterm election approximately 121.9 million Americans reported voting in 2022 equal to 52.2% of the citizen voting age population or the CVAP registration was 69.1% That's the highest midterm registration rate since at least the year 2000 Where's the race stuff?
Where's, oh here we go, here we go.
What did the 2024 electorate actually look like in which Donald Trump was reelected?
White people were 71% of the electorate, black were 10%, Hispanic 10%, Asian five, other or multiracial were 4% of the electorate.
White voters declined from about 74% of voters in 2016.
to 73% of voters in 2020 and 71% of voters in 2024 illustrating the gradual diversification of the electorate.
So here's what's crazy.
The percentage of white people in this country is like 52 or 53 yet they vote in a number that is disproportionately higher than their actual racial makeup of the country.
There's no excuse for that.
This is why black people need to vote.
Come on blacks What is this here the Census Bureau measures turnout after elections so the most defensible approach to establish a reasonable demographic range based on primarily on the unusually high turnout of midterms of 2018-2022 We're expecting 54 percent of eligible voters to vote in the midterm elections coming up in less than 60 days
A reasonable baseline for 2026 midterm election performance would be approximately 54% of eligible citizens translating to roughly 125 to 135 million voters nationwide depending on registration campaign intensity, competitive races, and late breaking events.
Women are expected to make up 55% of the midterm electorate eclipsing 70 million votes.
Men will make up a smaller share of 49% of the electorate, 60 to 64 million votes.
African-Americans turnout will be between 45 and 50%, meaning 50 to 55% of registered, eligible black voters simply will not cast a ballot.
If those numbers hold true, 14 or 15 million.
African-Americans will vote come November 3rd.
We got those are rookie numbers blacks Hispanic voters will be 38 to 44 percent of registered eligible Hispanic voters will turn out in November.
This is just a prediction That will be between 13 to 16 million.
You know what?
I hope the Hispanics all vote us.
I hope they do.
Oh, we learned that lesson They're all voting us look.
I hope we all end up working for Hispanics
Oh, I actually know I'll have to work way too hard.
Gentlemen, we're going to make sure your radio show is not three hours.
It's going to be 12 hours.
Three hours, no!
You work for the Milwaukee Hispanic media.
Mexicans hate us more than the whites.
Asians don't love us either.
Nobody loves us.
No one.
We don't have any allies.
I don't know why black people think.
Why was y'all inviting all them damn people to the barbecue?
That was so stupid.
You know what they did?
They conducted like a spy operation on us.
Why would you invite all them white people to the... I just saw something on social media over the weekend.
You're invited to the barbecue.
I posted under that application rescinded.
I'm taking your invitation back.
Sad face.
I've never seen a white person at any barbecues that I've been to.
that
Like hell it don't.
The white girlfriend is going to be there.
There might even be an auntie with a white boyfriend.
It's always an auntie, never cousin, never sister is an auntie.
You know, some aunties, they date up, they date everything.
You know what I mean?
Like one year she had Asian.
One year she had to do that just came out of prison like he still had his handcuffs on you know I mean aunties be bringing oh I meant we in love how long y'all been together auntie four days and then so you bring them to the barbecue maybe you bring them to Thanksgiving it's gonna be somebody new at Christmas but no there's they come to the barbecue what you don't see though is we don't get invited to their barbecues because their barbecues are actually Lynch parties
I would say the white barbecue is more like, oh, we're going to the lake house.
I've been invited to the lake house.
Y'all don't understand.
Most white people are broke, broke.
They can't even afford to put gas in the car.
White people, they're more white people receiving welfare and public benefit, which I'm not shaming them for that because it was created for them.
Black people just qualified for it.
But they didn't make any welfare program section eight one for us.
I
got a little something for you about white ghettos.
I saved it and I meant to send it to you, but it was a documentary on all the white ghettos across America is absolutely disgusting called trailer part.
It's called West Alice.
Yeah, they're like literally like, you know, they're killing raccoons eating them, you know, sleeping with their sisters, 10 people living in the house.
It's pretty it's pretty gnarly.
I'm gonna send it here to the show.
I was I was
Well,
It's only a it's a snippet of the dark
Illinois, inspired by the lady, Lindsay Clancy.
There's probably another Epstein Island literally right now going on right now as we speak that we won't find out about for another four or five years and Donald Trump is probably going to that one too none of it would shock me They're robbing the US Treasury blonde Donald Trump probably has an ATM card that goes right to the US Treasury I think I need to take up 37 million dollars attack pair of money.
Nothing would shock me.
There's poor white people There's middle-class white people.
There's there's all kinds.
There's yes, that's the answer
Hey, Sherwin, do white people?
Yes.
Sherwin, have you seen?
Yes.
Yes.
Some white people a year ago were men.
Now they're ladies.
I guess black people, too.
It's got to be expensive because I don't think that's covered.
Buy insurance and most black folks And I'm commenting on something that I'm just speculating on I really have no idea some black folks would probably say oh man, I wish I could Be sex reassigned like there might be a black man born a man, but he feels a lot like a woman But the surgery costs too much so he just lives his life as a man at least like a transgender on a budget because he can't afford The surgery or you can't afford to go to like Thailand
I think you can get the surgery for like $94 or something So he just lives like this or he's just a dude.
He's got a beard.
He's got a mustache He's got a little small afro.
He just puts on like makeup.
He's like, I'm transgender, but I can't afford this economy is terrible How bad the economy must be when you can't afford your sex reassignment surgery like you got a way to interest rates go down But I respect people's commitment, you know Couldn't imagine not feeling
Comfortable in your own body, which I'll be honest with you.
There have been times in which I haven't felt comfortable in my own body But it's usually after a big meal.
Oh man, I'm I'm very uncomfortable in my own body.
I feel very full.
It's not I Feel like a lady.
I've never felt that But I've been uncomfortable You ever wear some pants and they're real tight and the button just be pinching Like that felt uncomfortable in that regard but never
Felt like renaming myself Sherwina.
Well, that's because you're
a straight male You gotta think the people that do that they're less than 1% of the population of the United States And within the black community less than that might
You are listening to The Truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 The Truth, the Truth app and 1017thetruth.com.
Thank you guys for riding with us today.
Hope everybody had a wonderful, fabulous, productive holiday weekend.
We know that my producer Xavier did.
In fact, he exhausted himself over the weekend.
It's crazy.
He exhausted himself over the weekend and needs a break from the break he just got.
Y'all pray for him.
Number three, government discrimination slash preferential treatment.
The ballot question.
I'm going to read this twice.
This is the third referendum question that is going to appear in all 1850 municipalities in the state of Wisconsin and in all 72 counties.
So I want you to be familiar with these.
I want you to start thinking about your strategy.
Also make a plan to vote.
Take your lazy ass kids with you If your kids live with you and they're adults and they don't vote You that's not you didn't do it right Well, my baby don't want to vote he's 41 with grandkids, but that's he my baby though.
He didn't want He gonna get his act together ma'am.
He's been to prison three times.
I know but that's my
That's my babe quote governmental entity discrimination prohibited shall Section 27 of Article 1 of the Constitution be created to prohibit government entities in the state from discriminating against or granting preferential treatment to any individual or group based on race sex color ethnicity or national origin in
public employment, public education, public contracting, or public administration.
I'm reading that again.
This is a big, big deal.
Governmental entity discrimination prohibited.
Shall Section 27 of Article 1 of the Constitution be created to prohibit governmental entities in the state from discriminating against or granting preferential treatment to?
any individual or group on the basis of sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin in public employment, public education, public contracting, or public administration.
A yes vote would add language to the Wisconsin Constitution prohibiting the state and local government entities from discriminating or granting preferential treatment based on race.
sex, color, ethnicity, national origin.
You know what that does?
Here in the state of Wisconsin we may have discriminated for a very very long time or prohibited maybe women maybe prohibited people of color black people and Asian people and people of I don't know Southeast Asian descent and Native Americans from attending colleges and universities maybe the contracting system when you want to get a contract with the state of Wisconsin maybe for a period of time they excluded the black people and they excluded Latino people and they excluded Southeast Asians
What we can do now is say, hey, to make up for past wrongs and past transgressions, we're going to allow 5% or 10% of the bids to be from certified minority businesses.
That's going to be now made unconstitutional.
You can have a UW school that might have a documented history of denying, systematically denying and intentionally denying.
black students so that black students couldn't go to the UW Stevens Point or the UW Stout or the UW Eau Claire or the UW Green Bay or the UW Madison they may have systematically denied black students and maybe the University of Wisconsin system said oh man a long time ago we weren't very nice to black people let us make let's make sure we have a diverse campus where all people can apply and all people will be considered especially those that we systematically denied that would be unconstitutional.
If there have ever been wrongs against any minority in the state of Wisconsin and the state of Wisconsin itself wants to right those wrongs by allowing for the people that have been excluded to now be included, that is now going to be unconstitutional.
You know what this is?
It's because you blacks have done too much.
You've gone too far.
You've made too much money.
You've gotten too smart.
Now you get nothing.
Affirmative action is dead.
The Supreme Court killed it.
Donald Trump killed it.
No more affirmative action.
No more DEI.
If you are black, you got to compete like everybody else.
It doesn't matter about the discrimination of the entity.
It doesn't matter about the discrimination of the agency in the past.
If you were discriminated in the past, they're going to discriminate all over again because, you know, we can't look at race to try and make up for the past transgressions.
I want you to understand what this means.
Minority scholarships, unconstitutional meaning.
First generation black college student might have a ten thousand dollar grant that they can receive Because they are the first person in their whole lineage of their family to go to school And you know what the UW system really needs they need more first-generation college students because that may guarantee that future and subsequent Generations may go to college guess what if a single white person can get that same grant that same scholarship it is unconstitutional What more do white people want?
Like seriously You got to own people For hundreds of years and are still mad that you can't own people anymore like what more do you want Y'all have a whole bunch of money you own the land you own the wealth you own the banks What do you what's left I guess Greenland
What do you what what are the whites?
What do you want?
You've had it all for too long.
I think slavery I Listen, it was a long time ago things were primitive and people like I don't I don't want to work Let's let's get some people and make them work And then you try for like six months and like this isn't fair that we're making these people work.
Let's all It's all be nice to each other and then slavery should have ended after like six months slavery should have just been like
Just like an experiment like oh, this is too much trouble Got to get boats You got to convince Africans to get on the boat How do they do that?
I mean you could have lured me on a boat with a Kit Kat
Well, a lot of them were traded, you know because they captured during war, you know with local tribes and they sold them to the whites
Oh, yeah, I've been talking about some of them
Oh, yeah, definitely not millions
Africans didn't have millions of other Africans just waiting to be taken because what happened is like I don't know why people Well, that's well the Africans went to war with other tribes and they enslaved other tribes, but they would take the enslaved tribes and the enslavers
So if you enslaved other Africans, your black ass was getting on the boat too.
And the African enslavers are probably like, wait a minute, why do you want us to go?
We are giving you cages on cages on cages of Africans that we have conquered.
Why do we have to go to?
The Africans get mad at me when I say that.
They have the Nigerians.
I love the accent because they I was listening to I Don't know something in a death scroll on social media and he said Nigerians Have a real unique way of talking and I agree Americans tend to be monotone My name is Sherwin Hughes and I went to the store yesterday That's how I would say my name is Sherwin Hughes and I went to the store yesterday
A Nigerian will start very, very high.
My name is Sherwin Hughes and I went to the store yesterday.
You see how they start high and they... My name is Sherwin Hughes and I have a cellular telephone.
My name is Sherwin Hughes and I have a cellular telephone.
Nigerian Sherwin.
My name is Sherwin Hughes and I have a cellular telephone One day they're gonna be They're gonna be waiting for me outside the market hall.
They're gonna have face paint on Be chanting jumping, you know the Africans they like they jump in unison It's beautiful.
It's a beautiful culture
What I don't know why you looking at me like that.
I'm not African.
I'm American.
I'm from Milwaukee.
Yeah,
that's
Oh you scared?
I think you're conflating Zionists and Jews.
The Jews if I say even if I was factual shout out to the Jews But let's say I said something even benign about them to where one Jewish person one person could be a little bit offended So I would leave the radio station.
I leave the studio and I would Like get to my house and it just wouldn't be there.
It just wouldn't just do this my house would be gone and I'd I'd call the police only high 9-1-1.
What is your emergency?
My house is gone What was the address not giving my address and then the dispatcher would come back Did you say something about Jewish people?
Well, I mean how it was it was factual like yeah, we can't help you
what they're doing to or trying to do to a son piker
Oh, I thought you're talking about an IDF bomb blew up your house.
No, if it was, you know, Israelis, they probably blow up your house with you inside of it.
It'd be more
We're just guys in Lebanon.
people.
We're
Put it with all the others.
Not funny.
I'm kidding.
Jesus was Jewish.
Jesus was Jewish, but also Christian at the same time like that's worthy of investigation because even Jesus was like I Think I'm gonna do the Christian Christ-like thing Jesus is So Jesus's dad Had sex with Mary no how did Jesus give
it was immaculate birth so the seed of God went into Mary while while Joseph was praying
Yeah, pretty much a cuck to God.
excuse me, Joseph.
It's only take two minutes.
to say.
Yeah, it probably only took a couple seconds.
They're playing our program at McBob's and I don't want people to be.
Listening to this sack religious stuff while they're eating their delicious corned beef.
I prefer Ruben.
I Like Ruben sandwiches.
I Like the sour I'm a sour cropper didn't used to be but as I've gotten older My food tastes in my palate have become very sophisticated So I like I like the Thousand Island dressing and the Swiss cheese
and the tender chunks and morsels of corned beef on that grilled marble rye.
You gotta have a pickle.
You know why they serve pickles with sandwiches?
First of all, pickle spears are delicious, but I can't have too much pickle.
Too much pickle, and it activates your taste buds because pickles make you salivate.
You know why they serve lemon with fish fries?
Even though we squeeze the damn lemon on the fish, it does bring out a brightness and a flavor in the fish.
But the lemon is to clean your hands That's what it's for You know when you order sushi sometimes or you get some sushi it comes with the pickle ginger I love pickle ginger.
Let me show you what I do with pickle ginger I Eat it with almonds.
I know no no no listen listen.
It sounds weird.
It's delectable.
I don't know I don't even know how I
Think I might have been pregnant.
I don't even know how I came up with that combination that I was gonna draw unsalted Almonds and I take a little thin piece of the pickled ginger and I wrap it around the almond and it's just it's the perfect accoutrement Just want to let you guys know how unusual of a person I am
There's a large and well-documented mismatch between the reading difficulty of many American ballot referendum questions and the reading skills of the electorate But an important distinction is necessary the evidence at least the one the evidence that I have Strongly supports the existence of the mismatch, but it does not necessarily support the blanket claim that the referendum language is deliberately made confusing in every case I personally think that it is many Americans function
Around an eighth grade reading level for ordinary written material while the average ballot proposition has been measured around the 17th or 18th grade level Roughly graduate school readability by the formulas researchers use one of the most important studies examined 1,200 1,211 state ballot questions in a 10-year period of time using the
Flesh-concayed grade-level formula.
The research is found, an average of approximately 17th grade-level reading.
State averages in America range from roughly ninth grade to 27th grade, more importantly.
Newer research suggests that the problem has persisted.
A 2024 peer-reviewed study examined
140 ballot referenda around the country on 2022 ballots in 38 states and it found.
The average ballot proposition was at an eighth grade, 18th grade, I'm sorry, an 18th grade reading level.
The range was between seventh grade to 64th grade.
What the hell is 64th grade?
Measures within estimated adult reading ability.
Four of a hundred and forty or just three percent of American adults can read and comprehend ballad referendum It says don't take the 64th grade level literally as requiring 64 years of schooling Readability formulas can produce absurdly high numbers when sentences are exceptionally long and filled with multi syllabalic legal terminology
What it tells us is that some ballot language is extraordinarily difficult Linguistically, here's what I think ladies and gentlemen they should put it because it's legal language.
That's really what it is And that's why it's complicated.
We have to be able to read that We have to be able to read the legal language because this is changing the damn Constitution you got to How to get hooked on phonics you were listening to a show that is very hooked on phonics and corned beef for some reason
The truth with Sherwin Hughes on
1017fm, I'll be right back.
about
Also go to YouTube vote on our YouTube poll.
I'm gonna get to that story in a little bit You think we'll have a woman president in the next 10 years.
I Don't know what y'all are waiting for a whole bunch of other countries have had lady president
I don't know what y'all are afraid of.
I mean, she can't kill all of us, you know?
She can't strangle all of us.
That's not funny, by the way.
I don't like that those, I posted a picture of those beautiful children that she killed.
Like, oh my God, how could a jury see that and not just be like, yeah, guilty?
The lady is, she had a nanny.
She had money too, you
know?
White women, tears are powerful to other whites.
I think a lot of people want to kill their kids.
They're just afraid they're gonna go to jail.
I listened to a little bit of Homer and Bailey and I guess so the woman that got stabbed by her daughter.
And then, of course, you ask the callers.
Y'all are bloodthirsty.
Y'all have bloodlust.
That was my kid.
I'd murder him on the spot.
I wish my kid would step on my foot
Bailey says she saw a woman Physically disciplining her child with a belt in public and then what bail is what Bailey said Bailey asked the woman the mother if she was okay Apparently the mother was and then Bailey went on about our business.
I would have personally if I see that I'm calling the police.
I promise to God if I see a woman beating her child in public
I am calling the police.
We are violent as hell as it is.
Where do you think these kids are learning this violence from?
Beating kids makes them violent, let alone if you're a father and you're beating your daughter, then when she gets older, another man that loves her may beat her too.
You taught her that.
Why are we still in the dark about this?
The World Health Organization has called it child abuse.
And here's another one.
Parents that make their kids Pull their pants down to get spanked or you're gonna love this you were sexually assaulted And why they stop beating their kids when their kids get to a certain age Here's another one to stick in your craw is because those parents only want to beat helpless children Once the kids start getting big it can punch back then they don't then they don't beat them no more because they want to beat defenseless children and I'm sorry that
Some of y'all went through that especially if you imagine that a parent taking their children's clothes off to beat them That is sexual assault.
That's a felony punishable but you need ten years for that I Mean I would say I'd raise your kids when you went to prison, but I don't want I'm not gonna make them take their clothes off.
That's so bad you guys Don't do that.
Just that's weird.
Yeah, it's more than weird.
We
Black people have a fetish for beating their kids damn near to death.
I think the misconception is because we're so twisted that Well, these kids are acting this way because they weren't be you know these parents are punching these kids in the face with closed fizz.
Y'all think that these parents Are not beating they're beating these kids.
They're not using a wooden spoon They're not using an instincts extension cord.
They are punching their two three four-year-old kids and they're talking to them like they're
45 year old adults cuss cussing these children out where you think they get it from and know it ain't the music It's at home.
The music might even be more tame than what some kids Are dealing with at home, you know what happened during COVID some happened during COVID it was our community But we didn't talk about this.
We didn't want to discuss
this murder rates went up, right?
Yeah, bunch of kids died because a lot of kids when they're at school They're protected from their parents or if children are
showing up at school with signs of abuse, boom, social worker immediately, they're on the case, CPS is involved, the police are involved, but when there's no school, there's no social worker to see the wealth and the bruises and the cuts on these children.
And the number of black children that died went up during COVID because teachers actually helped protect children from their parents.
More black children will, and this is a fact, but we don't want to talk about this though.
Don't talk about More black children and teenagers will die at the hands of their parents than by the police But that's all right though I Mean if you're gonna kill your kid there's a You do it early.
You know what I mean?
You do it really really early like Before it enters the world because then when the baby is here you like I can't kill this baby
abortions that murder
No, I think a woman should be able to To terminate a pregnancy but also think that a father should be able to terminate his parental rights and not pay child support because if she can terminate the pregnancy He should be able to terminate being a daddy Now why you gonna make him pay because you want to have the baby?
Yes, there's not even a guarantee that she even has to take care of the baby She can have the baby and just lead a baby with a random relative or a grandmother or something She can get child support and she can spend the child some support on weed.
They do by the way
and lashes.
Not all of them.
If one person spends child support money on lashes, how does that help the kid?
Oh, that's not good for that kid.
That's just a PWK as her one as a Homer would say
Unless you put fake eyelashes on your four month old baby, then I can understand using child support for lashes.
Sure.
Will you see my baby?
What's on your baby's eyes lashes, baby's got a whole manicure and a pedicure babies came to walk God what's happening in the world What is this here Contemporary federal literacy testing doesn't actually assign Americans a grade level the better measured today is the Department of Education PI AAC adult literacy proficiency scale
The latest 2023 PI, AAC, Adult Literacy Proficiency Scale is concerning.
Among Americans, ages 16 to 65, 28% performed at level one or below, and that's actually increased since 2017.
Another 32% performed at level two.
Only 44% reach level three or higher, the level in which people demonstrate greater ability to understand text, integrate information, and perform more complicated, interpretive tasks.
So half of the country can't read.
Half of the country can't.
You could just create a bunch of contracts that when someone signs it,
You get all of their money and you tell them hey in the contract if you sign this You'll get an extra thousand dollars a month and no one would even read it and they'll sign it Then you can take all their money.
That's how people get taken advantage of You don't even really have to be deceptive just use big words and people won't even that's sad and Some people are voting not even knowing how to read very good.
We got to do something about the literacy Maybe crime is secondary
You gotta know how to read first, you know?
Why is there such a large discrepancy?
There isn't one explanation.
There are institutional legal and political reasons and occasionally strategic ones.
Ballot questions are frequently written by lawyers and legislators rather than communication specialists.
The objective isn't always, quote, how would an ordinary citizen explain this?
It's often, quote, how do we accurately describe a proposed alteration of existing statutory or constitutional language without changing its legal meaning?
Those are radically different objectives.
Words such as not withstanding, pursuant.
Authorize, prohibit, not withstanding existing provision, indebtedness, levy, appropriation, and constitutional provision have precise legal meanings, but make terrible conversational English.
Number two, constitutional amendments are inherently complicated.
We're talking about the three ballot referendum questions that are going to be on your November 3rd ballot.
Some of you all are not going to be able to read and understand.
I just want you all to vote the right way on them.
If you need Uncle Sherwin to tell you how to vote, I will.
I wish that people could better understand, and they would need Uncle Sherwin to demystify the ballot referendum, but I'd rather you ask Uncle Sherwin or Daddy Sherwin, pick your poison.
I'll help you.
I'm here to help.
Imagine reducing a 15-page change in tax law, election administration, or government borrowing.
to 50 words or less.
Every word becomes consequential.
Simplifying the language can inadvertently alter its meaning.
Number three, legal defensibility encourages precision rather than readability.
Number four, sometimes complexity is in fact political.
This requires considerably more caution.
There's strong evidence that wording and framing can affect voter behavior.
Experimental research has found that changing ballot title wording can influence voters' decisions, even regarding relatively familiar issues.
Other research finds that when voters have little prior information or education, easier ballot language is more likely to generate support while difficult ballot language increases opposition or
Abstention.
That creates an obvious political incentive surrounding the drafting process.
The person who controls the wording controls part of the frame.
Take a break, come back.
I want to talk about who the voters are in America.
So a lot of people can't read so very good, but I will have you know and I'm going to give you all the information that you need so that you have all the facts.
The majority of eligible voters.
The majority of registered voters.
And the majority of people that cast ballots in every single American election, whether it be a county supervisor, a school board member, an older person, a county executive, a governor, a president, are women.
Women-controlled ballots.
So ladies, why don't you want to elect another lady?
Or maybe you need the right kind of lady.
She's got to be the mix of...
Nice, smart, funny, sweet, kind, lesbian, straight, married, divorced, tough on men, tough on crime, a little bit of a misandrist.
A little bit.
She had a wild streak in college where she did cocaine and stripped for a little while.
We need a woman that has like done it all, seen it all.
A woman that's been in the military, a woman that's been an entrepreneur, started her own business, a woman who's been elected before, maybe to a lower level office.
So when we find that woman and she shouldn't be black, she shouldn't be.
I mean she could be but if you really want The white ladies to vote for her she's probably better off Being a white lady herself the truth with Sherwin Hughes will be right back
the truth with Sherwin Hughes returns after this on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth.com this is the truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth.com
I'm anti-COVID vaccine.
Measles, mumps, chicken poxses.
He says chicken poxses.
Because I mean, it's more than one pox.
Are definite, legitimate vaccines with undisputed efficacy.
Be a years of testing.
So I'm not with the mRNA experiment.
I believe the technology can speed the process up and in the United States we have an unnecessarily long and exceptionally painful and tedious Approval process for any new medicines and drugs and I think that that that slows People like it prolongs their illness prolongs their suffering
and increases the death rate, where in other countries, you can be just as successful and productive in bringing new medicines to market without the process that we have here in the United States.
It takes too long.
I'm almost thinking it takes too long to give pharmaceutical companies more opportunity to lobby members of Congress to push them to do these FDA approvals.
It's something going on with it.
It takes, like they'll say, oh, breakthrough drug.
Breakthrough cancer vaccine drug We have a breakthrough drug that will cure the diabetes type 1 type 2 type 3 however many types of diabetes there are we have it It is now going this is the kiss of death when you hear this it is now going through the process for FDA approval We are looking to have this drug to market in 14 years
So all of you suffering from the affliction that this vaccine, this new medicine, this new pharmaceutical can cure.
Well, you're going to die.
But that's OK.
Because in 14 years, those people are not going to die, but you're cooked.
But you have the medicine now.
And in preliminary trials, it has been very safe.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
In preliminary trials, it's been totally safe.
but the FDA needs 14 years to just you know 14 years and four more presidents four more health and human services appointed directors and then in the year 2040 we'll be able to cure type 7 diabetes because by 2040 there will be seven types of diabetes so terrible you guys but I don't
I know people I'm not coming to find a half the damn country can't read I'm not also gonna trust those same people for medical advice, especially black people and I love black people a ton I do I love black folks almost to a fault We are the worst human beings to take medical advice from because we die early and often We die for fun You know what I do now more often than not go to funerals
I used to not want to go to funerals.
No, I've seen so many dead people that I don't even care.
I used to like, oh, I don't want to see the person in the casket.
Like now I go and I look, I'm like, oh, they look good.
They look like they're sleeping.
Is that because you're getting older?
Everybody's dying, bro.
Yeah, yeah.
When even people I went to school with, they're dying.
I don't even mind going to funerals now.
You got to go to a funeral because you got to pay respect.
You know, that's what you do.
It's not because I used to, I don't know.
I used to be scared of dead people.
Like, oh, they're going to jump up and oh, they're not.
They are not moving.
They're just.
They're just laying there in the box.
Trying to think of what kind of funeral I want to have.
Don't be sad.
No, I take that
a new Orleans style wedding.
They all don't
play trumpets and Trump don't do that cuz I'll haunt everybody be a little sad, but If I made you laugh like tell good stories I remember this one time Sharon was talking about holes on the air and I got mad at him cuz I'm a hole, but then I realized he was right Cuz the shirt when I voted
Cuz sure when I'm a pimp or whatever whatever I did to influence your life.
They talk about I Want to have a big blowout funeral.
I mean everybody gets drunk afterwards You a lot of women there Yeah, oh, yeah,
hold
is going great.
Listen, I just about the vaccine and how people will say they don't want the COVID vaccine.
The part that's unusual to me is you didn't want the COVID vaccine.
But if you find out you've got prostate cancer, you're going to take the chemotherapy.
And it's made by the same people.
And you never asked what's in it.
You're right.
Just kind of weird things.
Very hypocritical.
Yes.
And this is the other thing.
All of y'all are on those GOP to lose weight.
They found out it'll make you lose weight.
But not one person is questioned, what is it doing to a good tankerious?
because the drug was meant to affect your pancreas.
They just found out you could lose weight from taking it.
So when you're taking it just to lose weight, what damage is it doing to your pancreas?
Has anybody thought about that?
And nobody has thought about Finfian either.
Well, I forgot all about Finfian killing, trying to lose weight.
And it was five years after everybody started taking it, but they realized that it was heat up their heart.
Melissa, here's what I
I appreciate your call.
Here's what I think.
I think that people will sacrifice a lot, including a pancreas, to not be fat.
That's what I think.
It is not.
And I'm saying this as someone who.
who has struggled with weight their literal entire life.
It is not biologically nor socially acceptable to be fat, to be morbidly obese.
You're gonna die sooner, you're gonna have more cold morbidity.
Everything is a higher health risk if you are fat.
Everything is...
90% of the things that we are medicated for safe for like psychiatric medicines could be completely eliminated or we could reduce the consumption of these medicines and these pharmaceuticals if we just exercised and ate a little bit better.
You don't even have to eat perfect.
You still can eat your fried chicken.
You still can eat your chicken wings.
You still can eat your pork chops.
You still can eat your
Barbecue ribs just gotta do it in moderation the human body loves variety of diet Know being fat it's people look at you different
They do.
They treat you differently.
If you're too fat, you can't ride on an airplane.
If you're too fat, people don't want to sit next to you.
If you're too fat, you're probably going to get passed up for the job because when you come into the interview and need to take two seats, they're like, you're too fat to work here.
You're a health risk.
You're an insurance risk.
It is awful.
And what we've done is we've normalized fat people.
Oh, no, you're beautiful.
No, you're not.
You're unhealthy.
No, seriously, it's not good for you.
Imagine being so fat you can't even have human paul bearers They got a bring in in the casket Beep Beep Beep with a with a with a excavator That's it's not funny.
It's sad obesity is awful y'all and it's and they're killing us They really are there's the stuff that's in our food.
We don't know what's in the food We can't even read and pronounce the words that's in the food
There's this guy I can't remember what his name is.
I need to find the clip I used to play it all the time it talks about McDonald's french fries McDonald's french fries They're essentially Uniformly perfect, you know sometimes you give french fries you make your own fries you buy your own potatoes me Sometimes you have a little black spots on the potatoes and that's not gonna harm you It's just natural this potato sometimes have black spots on them
McDonald's has got to use a specific genetically engineered brand of potato and they use a pesticide that is so poisonous that when they harvest these specific genetically engineered potatoes to make McDonald's french fries specifically they have to sit in this warehouse for six weeks because the
It's so toxic this pesticide that they use to make sure that these potatoes have zero little dark spots on them because if your french fries got a dark spot on it you may not buy french fries anymore.
Eating fast food and eating restaurant food is even more dangerous and if you ate the same meal prepared by human hands human beings will prepare unhealthy food more healthy than a corporation.
And they're killing us.
It's so bad.
And then they're making money off of the high cost of healthcare.
You can't have healthcare for all and Medicare for all.
It's too expensive.
We are too morbidly obese.
We got type one, two, three, four diabetes.
You got the high blood pressure.
You got the low blood pressure.
You got no blood pressure.
Bob needs an arm.
Lisa needs a leg.
We're very unhealthy people.
I want us to be very healthy, but nobody should be fat.
Don't be fat any I wish I could just if I had three wishes Two of them.
I'm not gonna tell you Those are my wishes The third is that everybody's healthy you're more productive when you're healthy you sleep better You ever seen a woman with sleep apnea a snoring woman that's cuz men we expect men Right men snore right we expect but
You ever see a woman with a buzz saw snore?
You gotta leave my house, ma'am.
Well, I was sleeping, not here, you're not, not... I mean, saw and wood!
And she wasn't even big!
I'm, look, I'm in disbelief.
I was like, how on earth?
Like she would, her snores, she would suck in so much air would get windy in my room.
My bed sheets were starting to come
unravel.
Ma'am, you I need to wear earplugs.
It's not cool.
Shout out to people that snore.
You got some couples can't sleep in the same same bedroom.
That's not good.
I want to sleep in a bedroom with my wife.
Can't have her son Woodall and I sound like a damn freight train.
It's not cool.
It's not sexy The truth with Sherwin Hughes I Wanna one seven.
Oh, we're gonna have a guess.
We got to clean up Keith Tozer Former Milwaukee Wave soccer coach won a lot of championships.
He wants to come and talk about an upcoming event
Also wants to bring more awareness to a heart attack and stroke He had a heart attack and a lady found him an elevator Did CPR on him and he's alive?
Gonna come and join us in studio at 11 o'clock.
I Probably should learn CPR, but I'd be scared to give it like with CPR You got to give it right away like right when somebody goes down you got to start it immediately.
This ain't like the movies
We're all I found someone unconscious.
Let me start life saving measure.
You got to be on it right away And also here's you know, they say that women that need CPR are more likely to die because people don't want to undo their shirts and their blouses because they think they may be Accused or charged with sexual assault.
I swear to God y'all This is a real actual factual statistic because of where we are with you can't touch women You can't do a whole bunch of things if women need CPR people are much more likely to let her die
Here's what I say.
Listen, if you need to give me CPR, take off my pants.
Oh no, Sherwin went down again.
Give him CPR.
Sir, why are you removing his underwear?
I don't know.
I want to see what he has going on down there, but don't stop the CPR.
No, just do whatever you got to do to me.
Have me butt naked in a treehouse.
I don't know why I'm in a treehouse.
I don't know why I passed out either, but I want the CPR.
You ain't got to worry about me flashing my breasts.
I'll show them right now if you want me to.

Well, oh it changed 51% of you said yes a woman can be president But 49% of you say no that's really really close.
It should be why wouldn't we want a woman president?
We've tried men a lot of men About time I Have no I voted for Kamala Hillary You give me a woman I vote for I voted for many women and legislative offices all the manic offices.
I don't mind
I don't even look at gender like that, like, oh, a woman can't.
Sure she can.
And not only can a woman do what a man can do, she can do it in heels while pregnant, driving a semi truck and putting on her makeup in the mirror.
The truth with Sherwin Hughes will be back
for
three.
You are listening to the truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth.com
I think it's time, ladies and gentlemen, we need a change.
You know what I mean?
We need to go in a different direction when it comes to who we elect to run this nation.
I think that we've given men a chance.
We've given lots of different men a chance.
We've given a black eye chance.
He was probably a Muslim.
Maybe he wasn't.
I don't know.
He was a good president, though.
He got you some Obamacare.
Got a guy now who's in there.
He's, whoa, he's a piece of work, isn't he?
He's something else.
He had a couple of bushes.
He had a Reagan.
He had a Kennedy.
He lost his mind.
Linden Johnson had a lot of different men presidents.
I think it is time What are we afraid of that a woman is gonna run the country better?
she might She might give us paid family leave men should get paid family leave to They should men should be able to take however many weeks and months off and get paid for we got the money
Think it's time for a woman president.
Let me check our YouTube poll because I asked you on the YouTube poll because you know It's something that we do every day because we here at one on one seven the truth have inquisitive temperaments We asked you via YouTube will a woman be elected president in the next ten years.
So I'm setting a timetable Not will a woman be elected president ever know within the next Three ish terms there's gonna be several women that are going to run
in this upcoming election cycle for 2020.
There's women that run every single year.
I just don't know what it is that they can't get across the finish line.
Well, let's find out who the electorate actually is.
Using the newest census voting data, the cleanest way to describe the American electorate is this.
Women are the larger and more electorally active gender group.
White voters remain the largest racial block and the electorate is gradually so gradually becoming more racially diverse.
For the November 3rd, 2026 midterm election, the best baseline is the 2022 midterm adjusted for population growth and the demographic composition observed in 2024.
The Census Bureau's latest American Community Survey estimated about
245,300,000 US citizens age 18 and older the citizen voting age population or the CVAP Women represent 51.2% and men 48.8 There are 125,700,000 women voters.
There are 119 points.
So this is
Estimated for 2026 there will be 125 million 700,000 lady voters there will be 119,000 119 million 600,000 man voters white alone 162.4 million white voters black voters 30.0 million black voters were only 12.2% of the CVAP
That's enough to make a difference in some elections though, uh-oh bad news African-Americans will be 30.0 million of the electorate coming up on our next election Hispanic and Latino voters are 35.7 million.
Oh, they got us Asians we love the Asians very much 12.8 million Asians
American Indian Alaska native their 2.2 million voters and people that have their own separate categories for people that are multiracial or biracial or tri-racial I guess you're tri-racial if you try anything they are 24.9 million people they are 10.1% of the electorate
Race and Hispanic origin do overlap in the census, so racial rows should not simply be added together.
Hispanic voters can technically be of any race, which is confusing to me, but whatever.
Women are clearly more active voters than men.
So ladies, I don't understand.
You guys can make the decision to have a lady president, a lady governor.
We do not have a lady running for governor in the state of Wisconsin.
In fact, if I'm not mistaken, I don't think that a woman has ever made it to a general election, a November election in the state of Wisconsin's history.
I could be mistaken.
I don't think so.
I think it's always been men folk in the state of Wisconsin.
In the 2024 presidential election, 81,500,000 women voted.
I want to say that number again, because you know who won in 2024.
Not the woman.
In 2024, 81,500,000 women voted.
72,800,000 men voted.
That leads me to believe one thing and one thing only.
That that larger turnout of women voted for Donald Trump.
I can't.
They voted for him over her.
I have my theories.
That is substantial.
The women outvoted men in 2024 by 9 million votes.
8.7 million more votes they cast to be specific.
Woman turnout in 2024 where the woman lost.
was 66.9% male turnout was 63.7.
Women actually accounted for roughly 52.8% of registered reported voters compared with about 47.2% for men.
The Census Bureau notes that women have voted in higher rates than men in every single election since 1980.
Ladies, what are you doing?
I can't.
Why don't we do this?
We'll take a break.
Okay, come back We'll talk to Coach Keith Tozer championship coach of the Milwaukee way and he wants to talk about an event that is coming up He is working with the American Heart Association He's gonna be headlining the Southeast Wisconsin Heart and Stroke Walk
CPR credit with saving his life, the life of former wave coach Keith Tozer after a near fatal cardiac arrest last year in Boston.
Let's talk to coach on the other side.
We're listening to the truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 of him.
Don't go anywhere.
I'll be right back.
The truth with Sherwin Hughes returns after this on 1017 the truth, the truth app and 1017 the truth.com.
You are listening to the truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth comm
Keith Tozer is in studio coach.
Welcome to the program.
How are you?
Good morning.
Sure.
How you doing?
I'm good I'm glad that you're here with us because about a year ago at Boston Logan You had a bit of medical emergency.
I'm sure it was a regular routine day like any other you did suffer a heart attack.
Is that correct?
Cardiac arrest, but yes Boston Logan
Yeah, and you know this story happens every day across the world amazing how much more I know about it now, but on November 11th.
I was at Boston Logan.
I was coming home to Milwaukee The notes to me
I was going to go down with a cardiac arrest.
remember one thing.
My plane was delayed on Monday and then canceled.
So I got a hotel right at Boston Logan.
I had not remembered any of that until several months ago.
Then that came back.
So I remember calling my family.
I got to stay at the hotel.
I remember checking out and walking, I believe.
Towards the airport, which is a hallway from the hotel So the rest is told by two women one adult employee named Ann Marie and one the woman who saved my life Sharon whose name was Ann Marie
And by the
way, my mom's mom is Ann and my dad's mom is Marie So it seems like there's a lot of Ann Marie's in my life
they are
It's amazing feeling walking into a room and approaching someone who saved your life.
You know, it's difficult in the sense that you really don't know what to say.
Obviously, you're joyful for that angel to be there.
Do you thank them?
Do you love them?
I mean, so it's kind of crazy.
So apparently I went down 445 in the morning and of all the flights out of Boston Logan, everyone was on time except one.
and there was Anne's flight.
And she happened to be standing in line.
She saw me face down with the backpack.
Two guys looking at me.
She jumped the line, came over, turned me over.
I had a button down shirt at the time, ripped my shirt open because she didn't find a heartbeat and started CPR.
She told the two guys and whoever was there, get an AED.
So she performed.
CPR for eight minutes, which is a long time.
I don't know if anybody who's listening has done CPR to push down on the sternum to keep the heart pumping.
It takes a lot of strength.
And normally, if you and I are somewhere and we see someone that needs it, you're going to do it for a minute.
I'm going to do it for a minute.
You're going to do it for a minute.
I'm going to do it for a minute.
She did eight straight.
And she told me
I go, my God, you were so committed.
She goes, I knew you were someone's husband, someone's father, someone's uncle, someone's friend, and I was not going to let you go.
So finally they got the defibrillator, hit me once, didn't work, kept CPR going, hit me twice, nothing, hit me a third time, nothing, hit me a fourth time.
And the way the AED works that if it does get a heartbeat, it won't shock you.
So the fourth time it didn't work.
Knowing that I had a heartbeat at that time paramedics came and thank God again I was a mile and a half from Boston General Mass, which is considered one of the top heart hospitals in the country and I was off apparently to the hospital the first thing I remember Because they had called my family and said he's not going to make it fly out to Boston So they all flew out to Boston that day Tuesday.
I remember waking up in the
Well in the ICU with the priest giving me my last rights With my family behind the priest and I was off to the operating
yeah
Yeah, can we speak for a moment?
Because you know these these emergencies take place Every single day about 70% of adults out of hospital cardiac arrest happened at home Approximately 80% of heart attacks and strokes are in fact preventable through education died in lifestyle
In the event that someone goes down with a cardiac arrest, there may be people in the vicinity that that know CPR.
But you got to have a lot of courage because you're probably going somewhere in the middle of something.
You have to stop what you are doing and dedicate your time, your effort and your strength into saving a stranger's life.
And we just speak to the courage that it takes because most people, quite honestly, coach, they'll just see something.
Oh, I'll let somebody else take care of it.
Let me.
Let me keep on going.
Somebody else will handle the situation.
That's a life or death situation.
So just speak to the courage and encourage people if they see someone in need of medical attention and they shouldn't just walk away.
You know, CPR is a superpower.
It really is.
I mean, it saves lives.
To have the courage to work on someone and to have someone's life in your hands, it's a remarkable thing for a human being.
The scary thing is, Sharon, is that people will react to a male who's down in the ground much quicker than reacting to a female.
Because they don't know how to touch this woman.
I don't want to have somebody come back at me.
So, I mean, there's that stigma there, too.
But to have someone's life in your hands is probably a remarkable thing.
I mean, I didn't do anything.
I died.
Okay, it was Anne Marie.
That was a special woman and for all the people that do CPR and save people lives.
I mean, it's amazing.
It's kind of like it reminded me.
It's funny when you said that it reminds me of the story you hear that someone gets in a car accident and someone picks up a bumper of a car to save someone's lives.
That moment where God gives you that extra strength to do that.
I mean, that is.
That is special.
There are special people in the world.
There is no question
The two big steps, the hands-only, is get those compressions going and call 911.
Those are the two big steps.
That's all you really need to know.
But we can also get the full certification going for folks, too.
But what we're really always pushing for as an organization is to get that hands-only CPR so we can get in the hands of as many people as we can.
We want people to be joining the nation of lifesavers, which is what we talk about all the
time.
I don't know 2,500 people today cardiac arrest heart attack in our country Only 3% of those people that do have those episodes live only I don't repeat that only 3% of all those people actually survive I would love the governor and Got people in government in the state of Wisconsin, and I know some high schools do it
Can you imagine if we could get 14 through 18 year old high school students CPR certified That and so many of these happen at home a woman came up to me in my gym today and said that a friend of hers 57 years old was by himself Had a heart attack and there was no one to perform CPR Can you imagine if all the high school students who are always with mom and dad grandma and grandpa and uncle and by the way
This happens to children, right?
I think it would be an amazing story for the state of Wisconsin and how many people lives would be saved if we could just do that.
High school students are so wonderful and they'll empower them with the superpower that only takes an hour to learn.
I think is amazing.
They're listening to this show because I don't know why they wouldn't be.
So maybe that is a.
A policy that they can support, quite honestly, it should be a requirement to graduate from a public high school in the state of Wisconsin, because if we want young people to know life skills, being able to save a life is a very valuable life skill to have.
Speaking with Keith Tozer, championship coach of Milwaukee Wave, former, still a champion in my eyes, 10,000 cardiac arrests occur in the workplace every single year.
and November 2024 survey 39% 103 million US adults of respondents reported feeling extremely confident or very confident when asked about their confidence and correctly performing CPR and that's up from 33% so the numbers are trending in the right direction but let's bring awareness to
These issues there is an event coming up.
It is a walk dated Tuesday September.
No, that's today's date Saturday, September 26.
There we go at the Henry Mayor Meyer Festival Park.
It's the Southeast Wisconsin Heart and Stroke Walk.
Can you give us some details about that and who should attend and why people are getting together on that day, September 26?
Well, I think there's several different groups who should attend.
Obviously people
who have gone through heart attacks, cardiac arrest, who are family members, aunts and uncles, I mean everybody, obviously those people should come because we'd like to honor them because it's not only to raise money, it's the way to raise awareness, right?
I also think, I never thought, Sherwin, that this would happen to me.
I go to the gym every day.
I work out.
I eat well I had a hereditary issue and we can talk about that because if you have a hereditary issue No matter what it is or the mom and dad and uncle grandma and grandpa go get checked out.
I'm telling you go get checked out for the people who Think that they're not gonna be touched by this.
I think that's a great day for them to come out those kind of people because to learn to be with other people
that will empower people.
That's the truth.
So I think there's so many different groups to raise awareness.
You know, I moved in Wisconsin 1992 with the Milwaukee wave.
This is a wonderful state of people who care for each other.
It really is.
And it's a great moment that we all can get together and walk and we save one person's life because of the awareness that day.
Then I think we've done something remarkable
and found out that my youngest has it so I had a thing called mitra valve Which is the left ventricle valve that just collapsed again, I eat well I train every day
The doctor said that he walked into my room.
I see you, Dr. Langer.
And he said, well, coach, how you feel?
And I go, I'm depressed.
And he goes, dude, you should buy a lottery ticket.
Why are you depressed?
And I go, because I eat well.
I work out every day, so forth and so on.
And this happened to me.
And he said, look, it's not what you ate.
It's not smoking or drinking.
It's none of it.
You just had a hereditary issue that decided to go.
So.
We had our kids test it and one has it so at least we're aware of it young people on the court basketball players volleyball players There's a woman at NWSL.
She's 19 to 20 years old went down.
You got the Mar the Buffalo Bills player in the middle of a game He goes down and thank God there was CPR there and an AED so this is this is Unfortunately, this is everywhere, you know
The the colonoscopy used to be 65 and over now they moved it to what showing
45 higher risk.
I got my first one at 42.
Yeah, I think it's gonna go lower I I think the same thing with heart.
I think now with MRI and Artificial intelligence and all the things we have in the medical field.
Why not get your because let me tell you everybody's got some kind of plaque something with the heart
and they might as well know about it because of the advancements of science and healthcare.
I really, really do.
The park is going to open at 8 a.m.
It will be at the Henry Mayer Meyer Festival Park, the Summerfest Ground.
a 5k walk slash run to benefit the American Heart Association.
The 5k begins at 9 a.m.
with a $45 registration fee.
Opening ceremonies, 9.45 a.m.
and the walk, no fee, begins at 10 a.m.
Mallory Anderson from WISN 12 will be the featured MC and of course the featured survivor, former Milwaukee Wave Soccer Coach.
Keith Tozer, who I have the pleasure of speaking with right now, who suffered a near fatal cardiac arrest at Boston Logan Airport.
New this year is the B Extraordinary Experience, experienced by the American Heart Association as one destination for survivor celebrations, hands-only CPR, prevention education, family fun,
and heartfelt remembrances.
And I think at the end of the day, getting people out and active and running and walking, a lot of our health elements, especially when they relate to the heart, assuming they're not genetic, diet and exercise are so incredibly important.
So having this walk might be the motivation to get more folks out and moving around because these sedentary lifestyles are not really helping us out much.
Can I throw some out there?
Absolutely.
Dan can give everybody the website.
What's the website, Dan, for signing up?
Was just looking that up actually coach.
Um our regular website is s is s e Southeast so s e w i heart walk org.
That's our main one And if you give me a second, I got to look up yours because yours has a little bit of a different
yeah because I'm not gonna say the name on there, but there is a ex-wave player of mine whose father just had a heart attack on Wednesday and passed away.
so I mean this is everywhere
If you go to the website and you want to join my team, it's called Play With Heart.
Tozer's team.
I'd love for you to join.
For all the soccer listeners out there, the Milwaukee Way players will be there.
Ownership group will be there.
Sean Amini, who's the president.
Again, you want to join my team, Tozer's team, Play With Heart.
Just go to the South East Wisconsin American Heart Association website.
and sign up for it.
It's going to be at the Summerfest grounds, a 5k run walk to benefit the American Heart Association.
There is a $45 registration fee for the 5k run.
There is no fee for the walk and our Mallory Anderson from WISN 12 is going to be the MC of the event.
Coach, thank you so much.
Keep up the good work.
Let's continue to spread awareness.
And you know what?
You're probably going to outlive all of us, actually.
No.
And Dan, thank you so much for being here as well.
Thanks for having us on.
And if I could just add real quickly, if folks haven't been to the Heart and Stroke Walk, this would be my sixth one as the Communications Director.
The Survivor Lane, if you want some emotions, come to the Heart Walk and watch the Survivor Lane.
Watch these folks come through the finish line.
with their family and their friends and AHA staff cheering them on and we usually get groups of high school kids cheerleaders come and just the energy in the park is I'm getting tingles and talking about it.
Survivor Lane is amazing so if you haven't been to a heart and stroke walk please come out on that day watch see Keith talk about his story see all the folks the energy that you're gonna feel the love that you're gonna feel in that park.
It's amazing and it's just we're going to have a great day.
We're raising money, raising awareness and really applauding and cheering on everybody.
My honor, Sherwin.
Great to be here.
Don't touch that dial.
The truth with Sherwin Hughes will be right back.
on 1017 The Truth, The Truth App, and 1017TheTruth.com.
This is The Truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 The Truth, The Truth App, and 1017TheTruth.com.
I hope I don't have a heart attack on there.
Suck.
Well, at least I got a new CPR twin.
Zach is already ex- Zach is a fast 9-1-1 dial.
He died 9-1-1 fast.
He said, oh snap.
Sure was dying.
Then I woke up, saw a bunch of Ripley firemen.
Stick with us, buddy!
No, I'm in the wrong heaven.
I would have laid my holy hands on you.
You would have been healed.
Don't don't be laying on second thought.
Go with God, Sherwin.
Just go walk into the light.
I want to ask him about because people say they see a light when they die.
I don't know.
I think that this might be the brain losing oxygen.
I think when you die, it's just over.
You know what I mean?
I think it's just.
And it's just you're done.
There's no angels and no pearly gates.
I'd like to think that when you go that it's all lovely and wonderful, but it ain't no guarantee.
What if it's like the Hindus say, you know, depending on what kind of life you live depends on what you're going to be reincarnated as.
So I'm on my last life.
So this is the end of my journey.
And so everyone who has not been reincarnated a Pisces, you have yet to come back as one.
So I'm done after that.
Maybe this is when I get, I get my rest.
So here's the thing.
The universe is so big.
They said that there is a planet.
or a place in space that is literally everything right so there's a planet somewhere where all the women are beautiful and I can eat all the chicken wings I want to never get fat um there's some planets that have flying cars there's some planets like there's like a term for it the universe is so infinite that any possibility of anything actually exists that's what I want to do I want to spend my time traveling the universe and go into planets where the WNBA is fun where the weather is perfect
Where they have flying cars, you know what I mean?
Like that would be cool to spend eternity just traveling and maybe I run into some of my relatives Hey relatives Sharon we saw what you was doing down there.
We're not very happy.
Oops.
I'll have to leave then you guys
What if you land on the wrong planet?
Yeah, a planet ruled by the whites and they were they killed all the
blacks
Welcome back.
How are you?
I'm doing fine, but the real thing do you probably do you really want to go to heaven?
Especially all the people who kept up all that chaos on earth and was nothing but a peasant that wasn't nothing from the time of they death and all they did was just apologize and got to heaven Now you're gonna be breaking wine bottles and be trying to go inside the head because you asking yourself why I never did nothing wrong, but you let this you let this bucket up here now
Moving forward, dying is a part of life.
But what we ask is why are the good people keep going and why do certain people keep getting spared?
You know, we have those days when we just say, die, die, die, like these so-called racists.
We say, well, you've got all these issues with these people.
Why do you have them put a loaded shotgun in your mouth and pull the trigger?
Just die.
We don't care where your brains go.
We don't care if they look like raw chicken liver, gizzards, or even sushi.
Just die.
You know, you have so many people who lived in peace and harmony who wasn't bothering nobody, and they can't get a break.
So when I hear this stuff, I'd be like, I hope some people need to die.
We hope some of you racist people die immediately.
Matter of fact, just climb in the cast.
Okay, sometimes we hope the spirit is so right like maggots and their own personal hell just die die die Okay, especially the religious ones who hold the Bible and some of you white religious There was no it wasn't even no white people in the Bible So you shouldn't be trying to tell anybody about born in the Bible that you had no part in some of y'all should just die That's it.
Okay, and that's and but the problem is mr. Hughes
They don't want to do the world a favor.
Or the people who gets happy watching people suffer.
We'd be hoping you die immediately.
In your sleep.
Bleed through the mattress, okay?
We don't care where your blood goes.
Now, you brung up earlier, you know, about, you know, people, you know, getting their houses blown up.
You know why all this stuff is happening?
Because can't nobody take a ass whooping?
Don't nobody want to get beat out, they socks, they shoes, they drawers, they bras and panties.
People want to weaponize the police, weaponize the justice system.
They want to move at night.
They want to move in groups.
They don't want to sit here and say, beat my ass like a real 304.
Let's jump down like some real chicken heads and tear this MF up.
We're not going to bring the weapons.
We just going to fight it out like a bunch of wild animals.
They're not going to do that.
So what they're going to do is pick on people who are not bothering them.
And those people should just die.
That's it.
Because when you die, they ain't going to think about you after two weeks.
Hey, some of y'all need to die now.
And when you go to these funeral, you see some of the people that you'd be like, well, you should be the one sitting in the casket, not the person that's the lady who's been touched by the involvement fluid.
Why are you still standing here?
Why are you still being scared?
You wasn't nothing when you were born.
There ain't nothing in the day.
You should have died yesterday and tomorrow and tonight.
You still ain't good for nothing.
Just die.
Okay.
So I don't understand it myself.
So, you know, dying is just a part of life, but hey, some people just need to die.
And the quicker those people die, people can continue to live in peace and harmony.
And I'm gonna tell you this, Mr. Hughes, you might be too good to go to heaven.
Okay, because there's a lot of people being allowed in heaven that should have never been there.
After causing all that trauma, some of them raise their kids, kill people, let people die, and now your feet getting cold and your body is starting to rock from the inside out and you want to go to heaven, die immediately.
You don't belong in heaven.
Okay, and some of these people don't belong in hell.
They need to go to a cold hell where nobody is at.
Because even if they get down there, they're going to tear it up.
Some people just need to die, whether it's family members, racists, politicians, people who sit there and try to act like they're good and great choke on your tongue and die.
And all it takes is a finger on the trigger and pull the bullet and do the world a favor.
Hey, Jesus don't even want them.
What Jesus probably said, well, I don't think our only reason now that you come up here because...
You can have no way else to go.
But what Jesus said, don't come up here being a disease passing.
We don't need no Christopher Columbus up in heaven.
Now everybody walking around here with the heebie-jeebies.
So anyway, that's all I had to say.
Some people just need to die out and die off quick and immediately.
And have yourself a great day, by the way.
And all you have to listen has to live in peace and harmony.
Do something kind for yourself.
But when people die, ask yourself, why do the ones who ain't never been good for nothing from the time they was birth keep being spared?
Just die.
Have yourself a good day, by the way, y'all.
Bye bye.
Bye bye.

All right, everybody.
Al had a lot to say.
He hasn't been able to call for a while, so he had all that pent up emotion.
Let it go.
He spewed it all.
the place he had spewed big spurt of pent up aggression talking about heaven and people need to die you know what I just yeah there are some people that are not very nice but I don't wish death on anybody just leave me alone I generally don't really care what people do just don't
Just leave me alone and do whatever you're gonna do Okay, it's very simple.
I don't care.
I don't see nothing You can if you're doing bad stuff I'll turn my head like I didn't see that I'm not looking I don't want to see Not not gonna snitch.
I mean, maybe I snitch depends on what it is.
You're doing I might snitch a little bit But you know, whatever Will a woman be elected president in the next 10 years
52% of you say yes, 47% of you say no.
81.5 million women voted in 2024, 72.8 million men voted.
So the fallacy that the majority of men voted for Donald Trump, I don't think so, I don't know.
How does that math work out if women outvoted men?
Help me understand this, because this is defying my comprehension.
A majority of women had to have voted for Donald Trump.
We're assuming probably a majority of white women.
We don't really talk much about black women that voted for Donald Trump because they've got to be out there.
I mean, there's not maybe not a lot, but you'll have more black men.
There's a few.
Remember Diamond and was other ladies named Diamond and Silk Diamond and sat in those two black ladies that Donald Trump used to travel the country with back in 2016.
I think one of them died actually.
Diamond and Silk, two black ladies.
They're kicking.
No one is dead.
I'm pretty sure there are sisters.
I think women accounted for roughly 52.8% of registered voters compared to 47.2% of men.
So if all of the men voted for Kamala Harris, which they didn't And all the women voted for Donald Trump and men couldn't have made the difference
The 2022 census data are especially useful because 2026 is also a congressional midterm election approximately 121.9 million Americans reported voting in 2022 equal to 52.2% of the citizen voting age population or the CVAP registration was 69.1% That's the highest midterm registration rate since at least the year 2000 Where's the race stuff?
Where's, oh here we go, here we go.
What did the 2024 electorate actually look like in which Donald Trump was reelected?
White people were 71% of the electorate, black were 10%, Hispanic 10%, Asian five, other or multiracial were 4% of the electorate.
White voters declined from about 74% of voters in 2016.
to 73% of voters in 2020 and 71% of voters in 2024 illustrating the gradual diversification of the electorate.
So here's what's crazy.
The percentage of white people in this country is like 52 or 53 yet they vote in a number that is disproportionately higher than their actual racial makeup of the country.
There's no excuse for that.
This is why black people need to vote.
Come on blacks What is this here the Census Bureau measures turnout after elections so the most defensible approach to establish a reasonable demographic range based on primarily on the unusually high turnout of midterms of 2018-2022 We're expecting 54 percent of eligible voters to vote in the midterm elections coming up in less than 60 days
A reasonable baseline for 2026 midterm election performance would be approximately 54% of eligible citizens translating to roughly 125 to 135 million voters nationwide depending on registration campaign intensity, competitive races, and late breaking events.
Women are expected to make up 55% of the midterm electorate eclipsing 70 million votes.
Men will make up a smaller share of 49% of the electorate, 60 to 64 million votes.
African-Americans turnout will be between 45 and 50%, meaning 50 to 55% of registered, eligible black voters simply will not cast a ballot.
If those numbers hold true, 14 or 15 million.
African-Americans will vote come November 3rd.
We got those are rookie numbers blacks Hispanic voters will be 38 to 44 percent of registered eligible Hispanic voters will turn out in November.
This is just a prediction That will be between 13 to 16 million.
You know what?
I hope the Hispanics all vote us.
I hope they do.
Oh, we learned that lesson They're all voting us look.
I hope we all end up working for Hispanics
Oh, I actually know I'll have to work way too hard.
Gentlemen, we're going to make sure your radio show is not three hours.
It's going to be 12 hours.
Three hours, no!
You work for the Milwaukee Hispanic media.
Mexicans hate us more than the whites.
Asians don't love us either.
Nobody loves us.
No one.
We don't have any allies.
I don't know why black people think.
Why was y'all inviting all them damn people to the barbecue?
That was so stupid.
You know what they did?
They conducted like a spy operation on us.
Why would you invite all them white people to the... I just saw something on social media over the weekend.
You're invited to the barbecue.
I posted under that application rescinded.
I'm taking your invitation back.
Sad face.
I've never seen a white person at any barbecues that I've been to.
that
Like hell it don't.
The white girlfriend is going to be there.
There might even be an auntie with a white boyfriend.
It's always an auntie, never cousin, never sister is an auntie.
You know, some aunties, they date up, they date everything.
You know what I mean?
Like one year she had Asian.
One year she had to do that just came out of prison like he still had his handcuffs on you know I mean aunties be bringing oh I meant we in love how long y'all been together auntie four days and then so you bring them to the barbecue maybe you bring them to Thanksgiving it's gonna be somebody new at Christmas but no there's they come to the barbecue what you don't see though is we don't get invited to their barbecues because their barbecues are actually Lynch parties
I would say the white barbecue is more like, oh, we're going to the lake house.
I've been invited to the lake house.
Y'all don't understand.
Most white people are broke, broke.
They can't even afford to put gas in the car.
White people, they're more white people receiving welfare and public benefit, which I'm not shaming them for that because it was created for them.
Black people just qualified for it.
But they didn't make any welfare program section eight one for us.
I
got a little something for you about white ghettos.
I saved it and I meant to send it to you, but it was a documentary on all the white ghettos across America is absolutely disgusting called trailer part.
It's called West Alice.
Yeah, they're like literally like, you know, they're killing raccoons eating them, you know, sleeping with their sisters, 10 people living in the house.
It's pretty it's pretty gnarly.
I'm gonna send it here to the show.
I was I was
Well,
It's only a it's a snippet of the dark
Illinois, inspired by the lady, Lindsay Clancy.
There's probably another Epstein Island literally right now going on right now as we speak that we won't find out about for another four or five years and Donald Trump is probably going to that one too none of it would shock me They're robbing the US Treasury blonde Donald Trump probably has an ATM card that goes right to the US Treasury I think I need to take up 37 million dollars attack pair of money.
Nothing would shock me.
There's poor white people There's middle-class white people.
There's there's all kinds.
There's yes, that's the answer
Hey, Sherwin, do white people?
Yes.
Sherwin, have you seen?
Yes.
Yes.
Some white people a year ago were men.
Now they're ladies.
I guess black people, too.
It's got to be expensive because I don't think that's covered.
Buy insurance and most black folks And I'm commenting on something that I'm just speculating on I really have no idea some black folks would probably say oh man, I wish I could Be sex reassigned like there might be a black man born a man, but he feels a lot like a woman But the surgery costs too much so he just lives his life as a man at least like a transgender on a budget because he can't afford The surgery or you can't afford to go to like Thailand
I think you can get the surgery for like $94 or something So he just lives like this or he's just a dude.
He's got a beard.
He's got a mustache He's got a little small afro.
He just puts on like makeup.
He's like, I'm transgender, but I can't afford this economy is terrible How bad the economy must be when you can't afford your sex reassignment surgery like you got a way to interest rates go down But I respect people's commitment, you know Couldn't imagine not feeling
Comfortable in your own body, which I'll be honest with you.
There have been times in which I haven't felt comfortable in my own body But it's usually after a big meal.
Oh man, I'm I'm very uncomfortable in my own body.
I feel very full.
It's not I Feel like a lady.
I've never felt that But I've been uncomfortable You ever wear some pants and they're real tight and the button just be pinching Like that felt uncomfortable in that regard but never
Felt like renaming myself Sherwina.
Well, that's because you're
a straight male You gotta think the people that do that they're less than 1% of the population of the United States And within the black community less than that might
