No Kids Allowed

Welcome to our three of the truth with Sherwin Hughes.

Been discussing the impacts, the increase of fuel prices.

You're going to start to see some pretty significant changes in your consumerism and in prices.

And there's a bit of a delay.

So this week we have seen, well today, adjusted for inflation, I believe this is the highest.

Americans have ever paid for diesel fuel gas gasoline has been higher but diesel hits us so many different ways because of most of what we receive especially at some of our fledgling grocery stores a lot of those things are trucked by diesel burning engines everything from even our our garbage pickup to anything that needs to be delivered and transported your Amazon packages

et cetera.

So there is a delay.

So this increase this week, even if prices go down, which they are not likely to do because American diesel supplies are short and with the straight of Hormuz still being effectively controlled by the nation of Iran, who almost they almost conquered the world.

You don't mess with those

people.

Nobody mess with them.

They were made for this.

We aren't.

America's been losing wars since the 1940s.

We're not good at it.

We used to be good now We suck we can't even draft America.

That's one thing you ain't got to worry about.

We are way too fat to get drafted You know what kind of incentives you got to have get somebody to sign up for the military need boxed oatmeal cream bites I Love I can't lie to you.

I'm not really a fan of

The process desserts only because I can remember God, I'm so fat.

I remember the taste of a Twinkie in the 80s a Ho Ho a Ding

Tong

Do you remember when they were wrapped in foil

Very thin metal paper.

Do you remember unwrapping?

Like now the chocolate is all waxy and flaky that's not real chocolate Because that stuff was made with real sugar back then that was the high fruit toast corn syrup that gives everybody type two three four six thirty seven diabetes thirty seven Diabetes is

One of my favorite content creators His name is no way Quan I'd love this dude.

He actually had Homer blow on his most recent episode where he reviewed the fish bone bar and grill the new Master P franchise Soul food restaurant here.

We goddamn go again right on 25th and Capitol and No way Quan he's a little young fellow.

He's in his early 20s

He did his little food review he goes to like different Like festivals and events and like talks to people and he's just such a like just a simple dude just a little sweetheart Just a little short little fellow black fella.

There's a little short little young black fella definitely went

to

MBS He's just he's a very positive guy.

You know, that's a simple little fellow Little itty-bitty thing about five to little small black fellow

You know, I mean, let's you see him you want to just like take care of him like oh come here.

No way Kwan And he takes his mother on his food vlog And they had to wait because I went to the grand opening of the fishbone Restaurant fishbone bar and grill whatever was called 25th of North Avenue Homer was there during the grand opening there's a little bit of an interview with Homer.

You should go watch it

And he's there with his mother.

And his mother is just cursing a blue street.

I got type two diabetes.

And

I'm

hungry.

I'm about to pass out.

And he literally records his mother going on a diabetic rant.

And it's just the most authentic African-American experience.

And at that moment, I was like, I love my people because they're at a soul food restaurant.

franchise by a 1990s rapper that opened up in Milwaukee where a black content creator is there with his diabetic mother who was using incessant profanity complaining about how long it's taking to get the food at a black owned run and operated restaurants.

And it was just, I was like, this is it.

This is peak black.

And I'm not being derogatory when I say this.

It's just so good.

It's just authentic, you know what I mean?

And of course Homer was there.

Homer was there at the grand opening.

If you want an authentic black experience in this city, Homer's got to be somewhere close by.

He does.

He's got to be DJing or close or just in the background like you hear it whispering in the wind.

Homer blow.

Just whispering.

It's how the wind blows on the north side.

And a very faint, very light, delicate, Bailey Coleman laugh.

Bailey, what?

It's just a very, very authentic experience.

Got D on line ones.

We talked to D, let's talk to D. Hello D, you're on one on one seven.

The truth, how are you?

Hello, Sherwin.

I'm fine.

Thanks for bringing back the thought of the Twinkie and the Ding Dong.

I went into the whole whole.

But I don't know if you're really paying attention to yourself.

When you started speaking about the restaurant, first you said it's on 25th and Capitol, then you said 25th and North.

Oh, 25th and North.

Sorry.

Thank you.

Have a good day.

Oh, all right.

She just wanted to correct me.

Sometimes I get your streets mixed up.

25th and North Avenue.

25th and capital is where that apartment building is where women that smoke crack fight in their underwear.

I apologize.

I see this is why I love my listeners.

You said the wrong street.

Get it right.

Blackie.

Oh, sucky suck.

I want to savor this moment.

Oh, you know what?

I need y'all to follow listen to me Follow Al on so please follow Al on social media Okay, it's all I hope you don't mind that I'm giving out your social media and what I want to do is So Al said something on my program Last Friday and he said it just as a matter of fact he wasn't hyperbolic about he was like I want to go to church and get somebody pregnant

And I 100% believe him.

And then he posted something on social media saying, I want to go to church and get somebody pregnant.

And then he asked this question via social media.

Is that wrong?

Is that so wrong to want to go to church and get somebody pregnant?

And everybody's like, no, Al, no.

But he posts this on Facebook, which you got to follow.

It's so good.

It's so much better than what he says on this program.

But he's playing this song.

You know you can add music to your Facebook post And he's playing so this song is playing as the background music To his posts on Facebook where he asked the question is it wrong So want to go to church and get somebody pregnant.

So here's what I'm

proposing

This might be a bit of a tall task for our producers who are already overwhelmed because producing our shows cannot be any easy I try to make it easy People that are producing my program.

I don't make you do a bunch of stuff and play a bunch of clips.

I just I try not to do that But I want this song to play when Al calls Let's talk Hey, how

are

you?

Oh, I am doing wonderful and I hope everybody

is having a wonderful day.

Okay?

Okay.

I'm gonna keep it 100 with you because I heard you talk earlier about Panera.

I personally feel they don't want no real investments coming to the inner city of Milwaukee because they're fighting too hard to house the investment.

You're not going to get a panera, a screaming tuna, a dandan, a king pie.

Your only advancement is going to be Section 8 and JJ Fish, where people are living on top of each other like roaches and bed bugs.

I also noticed that a lot of black people been moving densely and moving away because a lot of black people feel these individuals is given priority over working class black people and they feel that the politicians are autistic non-verbal to working class issues because if you want some real investments coming you cannot have it

with the deplorables.

And I also think on third and burlice, at third and locusts, probably Burrata will probably own that within 10 years.

And that will be nothing but red doors because they keep housing the issue.

The issue do not care about the people they affect.

They don't care what they tear down.

So why do you care about housing the issue?

And here's why.

If you just how the issue, you don't have to work.

Your politicians don't have to show up and show out.

But if 80% of white people come, they will be proactive 100.0 like crack cook on fine China.

because there's going to be standards to be uphold.

So that's why the city is looking like South Beloit.

That's why it's going to be looking like Kerry, Illinois, because they keep housing the detriment.

Nobody is speaking up for the working class collapse.

But what

do we do with those

people, though, and all the people that, you know, we would deem undesirable words should they go?

What do we do with them?

You know.

You don't care where they go because they don't care about being an asset to society.

They don't care about tearing down your neighborhood and your politicians know that.

So they say, well, here, let's do to be a minimum because that's less work we got to do.

But if the people who was moving in was white, they would be on it like a nose on pure cocaine on a silver mirror where they take the $50 bill and roll it.

They're going to be on it.

But if you offer cheap rent, JJ Fish, extra lemon, pepper, and waste management who picks up the green dumpsters who put them back on an angle, they don't have to do nothing.

So that's why we will never, ever get any real investment because they rather house.

the issue.

And that's why black people are getting so upset because they're not getting anything.

They're working hard.

They're doing everything right.

And they got to worry about somebody.

They brawls and tannies.

I don't hear yelling and screaming or somebody out here tearing up and getting their car shot up and then two o'clock in the morning.

Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy.

They can't get no closure, so.

they're moving away.

And that's why no real investments coming.

You look at other neighborhoods, they have investments, people living in peace and harmony, but when you house the deporables and everybody is sitting here like non-verbal artistic, they already know why.

I just picked it up, but I just wanted to share that with you.

And yes, I'm going to go to church and get somebody pregnant because a lot of them ain't getting it anyway.

Okay, and a lot of them and a lot of them would be cool with what you're doing as long as you come back to

them

Thanks out have a good one.

Bye.

Bye

Should landlords offer kid-free complexes would you?

Be likely or would you consider?

Leasing an apartment now here's the thing it might be a little bit more expensive, but Everyone there will be at least 18 years old.

You don't have to worry about someone 7 year old bouncing a basketball and a bunch of teenagers running around Would you consider that now hold on let me be clear

Just because everyone is an adult doesn't mean you're not gonna have to deal with unruly or rude or disrespectful neighbors But at least you won't have to worry about a bunch of unsupervised children for five women a two-bedroom apartment Living upstairs from you.

Would you consider that and the reason why I asked the question is first of all I want to see if there's any kind of demand for that Let me also say it's very illegal.

You can't do that because that is housing discrimination

And there is a clause in the Fair Housing Act that says you can't discriminate when it comes to family size.

You can't do it.

It's illegal.

You know, you also can't discriminate if a lady is pregnant.

You can't say, no, pregnant lady, you're going to have a baby.

She can say, well, I don't have any kids, but if she shows up.

to the leasing office seven and a half months looking like she's about to pop it's illegal to say you're pregnant ass can't sign this lease because you're gonna have a baby and a baby is gonna be loud and probably cry a lot that's illegal but the reason why I bring this up is because we are currently in an environment where the enforcement of federal law

Is incredibly lax now it is still illegal to discriminate based on family size and you can't there are exceptions though if it's like a four unit or less You absolutely can say no no babies If you're an owner occupier let's say you got a duplex and if you check the city of Milwaukee real estate

inventory which I highly suggest you check just even if you're not in the market to buy a fixer up or buy a rental property I just want you guys to look because some of you I know for an absolute fact have a lot of money I've seen what some of you all drive some cars some people can fake it with cars some people are not faking it certain vehicles just show

Folks have a decent amount of wherewithal you see and because I want more people to actually own properties And also I don't want the city of Milwaukee to be a landlord because they're notoriously bad landlord other than barata Let me not know hold on let let me not just blame barata because sometimes it's the tenants I say barata because he just owns so many units

And if he's got units and buildings that are in disrepair, it does reflect poorly on his overall portfolio and reputation, but he also rents to people that have a whole bunch of evictions too, so you take the good with the bad.

But the city of Milwaukee, I think, is an even worse landlord.

And so the city of Milwaukee keeps a running list of properties that it owns, maybe through tax foreclosure or through some other kinds of confiscation means that is for sale.

So the public, no, they're not necessarily easy to get because in order for a particular property, some of them are abandoned and they're, you know, way below code and they need some pretty significant repair.

What the city often does is it overinflates the dollar amount one would need and would need to show before they will sell you a property.

It is pretty common for the city of Milwaukee to say, well, this property on, I don't know, zero thin burly.

Need $75,000 worth of repair to the roof for the electrical the porch railings etc etc But someone who is a little handy and if you know some contractor sometimes what the city says will cost $75,000 to get a house up to code might only cost 20 especially if you get in there with a hammer and start doing stuff, okay Now if you own that building

You buy it, you do all the fixing and all the upping and putting in the drywall.

Get you some Mexicans.

I'm telling you.

A lot of my friends are in the real estate.

They try to get me in it, but nah, because I don't want to have to come to your house to collect the rent because it's going to be ugly when you don't pay me.

OK, don't want to.

Here I am coming to get the rent.

It's 10 days late.

What

is people on the porch?

Why they try to intimidate me this is my house

Excuse me fellas, and they're smoking blunts several Yeah, it's miss Jones, I'm always very polite when I see many of you on the porch Miss Jones here gentlemen, who is you looking for miss Jones?

And here and I look at the window.

I see Miss Jones quickly close the blinds Now I gotta go now so my pistol why do I you know what I mean?

Why are you making me?

Non-fatal shooting cost six hundred forty four thousand dollars This is why I'm not a landlord because do you think I'm dealing with that every month and they just destroyed my house They put a hole in a drywall and I'm gonna pretend like it was there when they moved in Carpet used to be beige now.

It's black gonna pretend that we moved in this carpet had all these stains on it

Outline of a body on the carpet blood stains everywhere.

Why I would never I can't do it But for some of you you can tolerate such things I Still would see a rental property as my house even though I'm leasing it to somebody else because when they move out I am responsible for everything like if they're selling dope out of my house You think that I'm gonna have some liability for that if the neighbors are calling the police on a property that I own and I may not

Know the people like I leased to them they pass whatever background check which I don't even know what kind of a background check some of these people go through But the cops keep getting called because of my tennis that reflects poorly on me That's not worth it There are elected officials that own properties They routinely make the news because of what's going on in these rental properties and I think to myself That money is not worth it.

It's not not all money is good money.

I want I want good money

I want money that's obtained in an above board way.

You know what I mean?

It ain't worth it.

They got to fight and struggle to get somebody to pay their rent unless you do section eight.

But then that's a whole nother set of problems.

But if I own the property, I might have an explicit and legal you can if it's owner occupied or if it's a four unit or less, you can say no, no children.

Question for some of you.

Why y'all still having kids honestly honest question now right now What now of all times I have kids And go have a job because they're gonna get AI'd It's too damn expensive Men and women fundamentally hate each other.

I think the best time

For the longest period of time men and women nowadays actually like each other is when they are deep in the throes of passion and then right when that's over Then they go back to hating each other like why are y'all having kids like what unless you want to build some kind of weird family legacy because you're like Both multi-millionaire families coming together to build a goddamn dynasty why on earth You don't want your bloodline to continue

Got my family's all over the place, brother.

I don't nobody care.

I'm wondering why other people like right now You think at 51 I want to have a baby with anybody.

I don't even want a woman that has her own if your kids aren't 30 then I Know that's not gonna happen 30 and like living in Idaho 30 and far away like where they don't Come around no more There's the there's loneliness epidemic that people are arguing about

So men like middle-aged for us is the loneliest because that is when men are more disconnected from their families They're working a whole bunch their friendships begin to dissolve because the other obligations and responsibilities so Middle-aged men they have their loneliness epidemics with women It's worse and it's longer because starting at about 60 Because women's relationships devolve to their children are grown.

Maybe they see their grandkids.

Maybe they don't

But their friendships have dissolved.

And also by the time women get to their sixties, the mineral dead.

Oh, it's it's really bad.

They said the female loneliness epidemic is going to be dramatically worse because once a woman gets hits that stride, you know, houses paid for.

She's very much retired.

She's worked her whole life.

She's got a whole bunch of money.

And it's just nobody out there.

I think men deal.

With loneliness a little bit differently because we have to.

There's a.

a particular kind of stoic independence that men, men need to have it inside of them because dependent men not a lot of use for them.

I'm sorry, fellas, but if you're especially if you're dependent on a woman, good God, the number of people that I know that live with women and don't have jobs, I would rather be homeless.

I'd rather live in a tent under a freeway.

To be completely dependent on a woman is gotta be the scariest thing on planet Earth because at any point in time, not that she would kick you out.

Here's something even worse than that.

And this is to me.

This is an ego thing.

When she looks at you dead in your face and tells you you have nothing, you are living in my house.

I control the roof over your head.

I would build, I'd make a noose.

I'd be in the next conversation.

Ain't no way.

God to have that kind of leverage over something.

What do you say?

What do you say to her?

I know baby.

I thought I'm sorry What do you want me?

I know I'll I'll be home at 10 o'clock.

Actually, you know what?

I Won't even go out tonight.

I'll just stay home.

You can go out with your friends though And when you get home, I'll make sure I got some Popeyes chicken for you Then I'ma buy with your money cuz I

order these men that you know

50 really yep lives fell apart got divorced Met a woman that would take them in You got to obviously Be a you got to be a piper.

Yeah, I said it must be slang in

it.

Oh, yeah But it's your job.

It ain't fun no more when you're slang ability Like your your bed that you sleep in and the roof you have over your head

is contingent upon your ability to still slang like you're 21.

Because as we get older, the slang and don't slang.

You know what I mean?

I mean, they got stuff you can take to maintain the slang.

But when you got to do maintenance piping, oh my God, that might be actually fun.

You are so damn mine.

No way.

Whenever it becomes a job, whenever there's other like external stuff associated with it, it becomes disgusting.

Seriously, sitting at home and just becoming a sex slave.

You must live in a scarcity world bro because sex is not it's You know, there's a whole woman attached to that vagina that does that's sometimes the worst part If it was just I was a terrible thing to say what ladies you can say the same thing about us Horrible men best we we you've ever had best just lives in your cervix just lives there just lives all All up in the fallopian's

But just a horrible human being, but you know what I mean?

It's a bad world.

And why would you want to bring a child into that unstable toxic environment?

Holy crap, you guys.

Are you two pull ass of question?

I went way too far in that last segment.

I'm better lately, though.

Xavier, you're getting worse.

I'm getting better.

You're getting worse.

How am

I getting

worse?

You'd be bringing up

file stuff.

Just do that cuz you

take responsibility This is all you

you know, I I turned down stuff on Friday

Sometimes you have to

so I'm not living in the scarcity world.

I just you know, I like women

I love women for who they are You know what I'm saying?

Oh for

who they are

totally.

Oh, you love the

personalities,

bro They all offer the same thing for the most part the only difference between them is the personalities But like as far as everything else and what?

What they in their minds believe they can offer a man they all offer the same thing whether you're a high value man low value man You're a millionaire.

You're a billionaire.

You're a working-class man.

What if a woman really really likes you really really likes you?

Like show What's she gonna cook for you clean for you do your laundry take care of your domestic duties?

You know give you physical intimacy.

It's literally all the same it is Their personalities their life experience their education is why I love educated women

Not even because they have good jobs because some educated women are still waitresses.

It's because they probably have a better vocabulary to express their feelings and to actually be able to talk and carry a conversation.

They can understand and interpret the world.

Educated women are usually more often than not critical thinkers because if she's not any of that, all I can do is look at you.

Which is fine too, but then when that wears off, you know what I mean?

They wear all this makeup and they do all this stuff.

That's to spike a man's dopamine to get us like so hooked and so incredibly attractive.

Attracted to them because they know they don't really offer a lot else, which is awful thing to say.

They do get ready with me and make up tutorials.

Here's how to make yourself look like an actual digital filter and the number of filters they use.

That's why we need data centers.

Ma'am you're 61 years old.

Why does your AI generator profile picture make it look like you did in 1978 when you went to prom and The dude you went to prom with in 78 is actually dead But here you go posting a picture like it's like Jimmy Carter is in office.

I Got to relax.

I Need a day off Do you yeah, I think it's time if I take one this week not Friday because we got Mamie coming in

I'm wearing a tuxedo.

Well,

whenever you want to take off, just let

me know.

All right.

Let me take a break.

I'm back.

I'm going to be gone for a week soon.

Have we figured out who's going to be a baby sitting me while you're gone?

Can't be trusted alone.

Yeah, I got to figure out when I'm going to leave and then we'll figure that out.

Probably some

combination

of Zach and Zach or Meach.

You haven't had Meach producer show yet, have

you?

I have not.

That could be fun.

I gotta have a sit down with him because there's some things that I gotta have You talk to him first cuz I don't I just I was told by The person who is responsible for better for worse from my radio career Because what I would have to do is I would have to alter my show and how I deliver it based upon my producer There'd be sometimes I'd have three different producers in a week and what mr. Gerald Jones told me may he rest in peace

God damn it Sherwin your show should sound the exact same no matter who producing and I was like really?

So I have become very specific because I want the ears that tune into this program to have a level of Consistency regardless of who's back there controlling the stick so Meet you if you're listening What you hear today is what you got to do save for Xavier's back googling

And his very anti data center stands I say build them data center build them build them and they will come build them build them on where Schwabin on Keewanee County build it was sure a county build it make race seeing a hold build it But sure when those poor rural people the ones that gave us Trump two out of three elections build a data set I want them when they look out of their front window to see a data center

and neon lights so they can't sleep at night.

Let's take a break, come back.

There's this online philosophy that the road runner, y'all are gonna go nuts over this.

So you know the road runner and Wiley Coyote, they just chasing each other all the time and the coyote is trying to get the road runner.

But the coyote never hurts the road runner, okay?

So there's a whole online like philosophy and conspiracy.

that they that they're lovers.

No, it's why the way they describe it and the way they show some of the scenes.

The coyote is in love with the roadrunner and this is frustrated because they can't have it.

And a roadrunner is meet me.

But the roadrunner never hurts the coyote.

It's just having fun getting chased.

So there you go.

Interesting.

I thought you guys needed to know that because it's it's useless information.

Should landlords offer rental units where kids are not allowed?

We asked you that question via YouTube and 74% of you say absolutely yes, landlords should.

Offering units where there's no children.

Let me let you know It is technically illegal at the federal level to discriminate based on family size However, there are some exceptions and some pretty notable loopholes Senior communities.

Okay, now here's how this works now You have to have so let's say you have so if you have four units or less you technically can discriminate and say

No children.

If it's owner occupied, always dreamed of having a duplex and I would rent to a quiet, reliable neighbor that took care of the duplex that they were renting for me.

Didn't pan out that way.

But that is what my original hope was in my 20s.

I didn't have enough money.

I don't think I was ready to be a landlord at 23 But that's what I had in vision So if it's owner occupied you have a lot of latitude and leeway in your private dwelling Who you rent and or lease to when you have units that are much that are larger than four family now You're going to be under the auspices of the federal housing discrimination act and you can't discriminate on

Race you can't say no blacks I Had a philosophy on that and I want to know if you guys think it's racist or not Which means I'm asking you just trying to get validation for racism I don't know if

I would want to have to do battle with people that look like me because of the property that I'm renting or leasing to them.

I'd rather not.

Because at this point, I still have a deep amount of affection for black people because you all have been so good to me.

Some days you're better than others, but for the most part, y'all are good to me.

And I don't want to battle with my people.

I'd rather not.

So here's what I was thinking.

I go somewhere in Waukesha, Washington County, Dodge County, somewhere in Beaver Dam.

And assuming I had the money, I would buy up as much real estate as I possibly could in those areas.

I would buy somebody's entire portfolio.

There was a person who was maybe getting older and they got a whole real estate portfolio that they built over the years.

And it contains five family, ten family units, some single family units, some duplexes, in Waukesha County, Washington County, and Dodge County.

I'm not saying that the people out there are necessarily better tenants, but there's a likelihood that there's much more stability, that they've been there for ten years, they've been there for twenty years, or, you know, a parent was there and now the kids moved in, now the kids have taken over the lease, where it's just, it's stable and they care about that property.

And I'd buy up as much rental property as I possibly could in that town and With some of the money with some of the profits, you know, some of these smaller towns.

Oh, you got your McDonald's You got your little subway restaurant.

You might have you a taco bill I Would buy those franchises too so now the community the population

of that small town in which I started with the real estate.

Maybe I bought somebody's real estate portfolio or maybe I went out there cherry picking properties, but I built my own portfolio of owning the properties in which they rent.

being the franchisee of the places in which they work and I could do to them what they do to us keep their wages low and their rent very very high is that racist but not wanting to do that to my people wanting to do that to them because they've been doing it to us and that's how they got rich because you know them poor white folks don't really have a lot of choice

And they're too scared to come to Milwaukee or too scared to move anywhere else They've lived in beaver dam their entire life.

They've lived in that apartment complex for 20 years.

They've decorated it hell I'd even let him paint it even though it's my property Is that racist to do that so follow the blueprint of the colonizers to make money in a capitalism I'm not inventing anything.

I'm just literally doing what they did and really controlling the economic flow and output of an entire town

Oh sure one owns all the property here.

I beat up.

I beat a black barata of Dodge County.

Where you going?

You're gonna move.

You're not leaving me.

Where you gonna go?

Nobody else is gonna give you a lease.

Your credit is 396.

You're not going nowhere.

Daddy gonna raise your own.

You gonna threaten to leave me?

How about I give you a little bit of a discount?

You gonna stay with daddy?

Oh, I hate you daddy.

I don't want to be here.

I don't want to have a black landlord.

Why are you shaking your head in disapproval, Xavier?

I'm not shaking my head in disapproval.

No, please, black daddy.

They can put David Crowley Yards... I put David Crowley Yardsons in every damn one of their... I own this property.

But Mr. Landlord Daddy, but we're all Trumpers, aren't ya?

Guess what, Trumpers?

Display this black man's yard sign in on my property.

I'll I'll evict you.

No daddy.

No Where's the nearest David Crowley office?

I'll volunteer.

I know you will Be a good little boy.

Be a good little girl Thank you daddy That's not nice to pimp white people They've done it to us and they're crazy that

Well, they say when a rabbit's got the gun, and ain't no fun when a rabbit's got the gun.

The current HUD website explicitly lists family status as protected.

And in June of 2026, HUD announced 15 recent enforcement actions that include a discrimination against families with children.

However, there is a loophole if you have a senior-only apartment complex.

Here's how this has to work.

80% of the units have to be rented by someone that is 55 or older, or someone 55 or older has to be on the lease.

What you do is you find you some good Gen Xers, have them on the lease, technically they live there, and then rent to people that don't have kids, and that actually would be legal until somebody found out about it.

But the reason why I think you could get away with having 10 family apartment complexes that don't allow kids, because the Donald Trump administration is not enforcing anything.

It's like a break, come back.

I don't think that's racist at all if I just went to Beaver Dam and just bought everything for pennies on the dollar.

Then I'd get involved in local politics.

I would influence every county supervisor, every county executive, every city of Beaver Dam Common Council election and have them do my bidding for me because I'd be making so much money on owning the franchises of the restaurants.

and owning just about 75 or 80% of the rental property, I would be King Daddy of Dodge County.

Daddy, sure.

Daddy, Mr. Daddy.

Please forgive me.

I saw a documentary on Pimp and Ken last night and I just.

What a philosopher.

I mean, he wasn't.

He did bad stuff, but he got out of the game like 25 years ago, so he stopped.

Doing when they call it a human traffic.

He was I got to get out the game.

I ain't no trafficker.

I'm a pimp He's a very smart guy.

I just wish that he had other Like outlets for his intelligence and his creativity, but he found a way in pimping So you can learn Xavier

This is I played this earlier.

I cannot get enough of this song.

So Drake and Don Toliver remixed a song a country song sang and performed by Ella Langley and this is just an example of the creativity of black artists and black musicians.

They took a Super Country song

and turned it into something that is just dynamic.

This is why I want African-American restaurant tours to exercise more creativity.

And they just, it's the same damn food.

Like when we take another culture's art or creativity, we make it so much

better.

Oh, this is the video.

Where did

she get the singing?

Here it is.

This is so boring.

It's got a nice little chorus.

But what Drake and Don Toliver did with like, you don't even, don't even recognize the song.

Nobody would even know that they took L Langley's song.

This is super good and are filming the video in a

saloon

And then you have so this is just the chorus of the Don Toliver Drake remix

She's

from Texas I can tell he says sipping yackle about myself man if that ain't some creativity I don't know what is but that's the only part I can play because there's a lot of profanity in it Zack in there Zack

I

wouldn't okay on Saturday dawg.

I had watched a lot of Netflix and lay it on the couch in the dark

Yeah Friday was legendary.

I can't be out in the street for Xavier.

We celebrated your birthday better than you buddy

Look, we walked into the spot to have neck a girl.

It's like, oh my God, Zach, do you remember me?

Zach was like, yeah, I think

so.

You weren't with me on Saturday night.

That got baby mama's ain't got no kids.

Came up to my boy with very scantily clad.

Zach.

Oh, do you remember me?

Oh, please.

Get out of here, Caesar.

Zach, don't do that.

Sir, and here come another one.

I said,

you see how busy I was like Zach,

I was like invite him up.

Up in the viper is hanging out.

Yes, part of Friday was a mess.

I would go missing for 15 to 20 minutes.

Come back with a different person.

Young lady decides she's gonna take her skirt off.

Did you see when she took her damn skirt off?

Yeah, I was right there.

She was and then she spilled a drink.

I saw that too.

I Think I'm gonna wipe up the spilled drink with my skirt.

No, please don't do that.

So she's just She just what she disappeared.

She was a real raver

Among other things, she's very nice.

I think she's very nice

lady.

Oh, yeah, she's cool.

It's just she imbibed too much

She looked at me.

She's like sure when I got to go home.

I was like, well, I'm not going home and the next thing you know, I turn around and poof.

Her and the skirt were gone.

What did we learn today?

We are all going to be impacted and affected by not just the price of gasoline, but also diesel prices.

And according to our YouTube poll, let me give my last check.

73% of you.

believe that landlords should offer kid free complexes and the violence industrial complex that we have here in the city of Milwaukee just for gun non fatal and fatal shootings has already topped 350 million dollars on this earthwind and fire day only the 21st of September the lunch break is up next

We'll talk about that and many other things on today's program in which we titled America's Blood.

We're listening to The Truth with Sherwin Hughes on 101.7 FM in Milwaukee

and I'll be right back.

This is the truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth calm Drake

and Don Toliver did a remake and remix of a country song by this Caucasian lady Ella something.

Choosing Texas is the name of the country song.

But what Drake and Don Toliver did.

Oh, it's next level.

Oh, by the way, Drake is back after we've shamed Drake and steady like the A minors.

Drake's back.

Kendrick.

Kind of gone Kendrick has been kind of quiet.

So Shout out to Drake.

Everybody loves a comeback Speaking of coming back.

I wonder if the city of Milwaukee can reduce It's not ever going to eliminate Homicides because people kill each other and there's not a Whole heck of a lot you can do in some circumstances

and to prevent some, never all, some homicides, the extents in which we would have to go, I don't want to say they would border on extreme, they absolutely would be extreme in order for some people to survive.

And this is a small group of people, but the damage is so large because here in the city of Milwaukee, we have a whole industry that is dedicated to anti-violence and violence prevention and victim services.

and prosecutions and defense attorneys and judges and juries.

There's a whole industrial complex surrounded by this problem that we simply cannot eradicate.

Maybe we can mitigate it.

Some people just have to move away.

Some people can't be here.

They can't.

All that does is puts the problem somewhere else to where we don't see it.

America needs.

A junk drawer city and we have one.

I just fear would grow out of control because we always talk about all these people need to leave We want these people out of here.

We don't want these people to be in the city anymore We want to ship them out whenever there's a horrible incident over the weekend Oh sure when we got to get rid of these people and the further we explore that conversation because I sometimes get curious Like what do you all want to do about the bad actors in the city?

What do you want to do about it?

The answer is that I get in this mostly from Like a talk radio listening crowd because you all are a little different than most

When it comes to the things that we discuss Extreme solutions are always on the table.

That doesn't mean they're gonna get implemented It just means that somebody has an idea of oh, let's exterminate these people or get rid of them or put them in concentration camps or have gladiator wars I've heard that idea floated by hosts and producers.

That's a great idea.

It's a novel idea I don't know how if it would pass legal mustard, but I will say this if there is a time in which

Americans can get away with things that are unethical, illegal and immoral.

Now is the time to do it because the Trump administration is on something totally, totally different.

Like pedophilia is getting a pass and like everything not as bad as having sex with kids is pretty much fair game.

You know, like the way the Trump administration is executing federal law is comical, you know, but I don't know if Americans, because I think we're still in the mode of like, oh,

We can't do that illegal stuff because it's illegal is it?

You elected a felon times 34 There's three dozen three dozen pages in the Epstein report the cash Patel just recently lied about of Donald Trump abusing a 14 year old girl, but I'm not making that up.

Okay, not making that up Donald Trump is the listen to me because people don't know this still

He's run for president three times, he's won two.

He's the top law enforcement official in America.

The president of the United States executes federal law passed by Congress That's really the only reason why the president is there and to help the president execute the laws passed by Congress We give the president a big budget and a whole bunch of departments in which they can appoint different people because each federal Department was established by Congress because a new law was created because America wanted to solve her problems that makes sense to you Donald Trump is there to enforce

the law.

Now he can sign a law, he can veto a law and he can sign executive orders, which moves Congress to act if they don't like his executive orders.

But the way this Congress is set up, kind of like some of y'all's bank accounts, it doesn't move the way that it should.

So if there's a time to have a.

apartment complex that bans kids like now is the time to do it because the Trump administration has been made so lean by Doge a lot of the people there and I'm not telling anybody to do this I just want to give folks a perspective of the era in which we are living in and there are some people who are taking full and complete and total advantage now obviously none of this mitigates the violence in the city of Milwaukee but we are living in a time where illegality and immorality

is becoming fairly status quo and I don't I don't think that's a good thing.

There's a particular date.

Oh boy, I think it's coming up soon.

Maybe it's this month.

Maybe it's in October.

I'm sure some of you will look it up where a couple of things are changing relating to firearms.

Either a federal circuit court or the US Supreme Court.

Essentially ruled that so if you have to be 21 to have a handgun, OK?

Not anymore.

18 year olds are going to be able to purchase handguns because it banning 18 year olds from owning handguns is not only unconstitutional via the Second Amendment or

This current incarnation of the US Supreme Court's understanding of the Second Amendment you can't ban an 18 year old from owning a firearm and you can't enforce it I need you to think about that high school seniors can now go get it go get a strap that'll make us feel safer and then There's another provision or a clause which is set to take place now doing applications in a

a piecemeal fashion just kind of rolling them out slowly.

If you are a federal felon, there is an application via the U.S.

Department of Justice where you will be able to apply to get your gun rights back.

Now, before you felons go out to Cabela's, slow down.

You still will be hampered by state law because states

can make and enforce via governors via state legislatures and via state courts can have their own sets of rules for who can and who cannot own possess discharge of firearm etc etc But I will say this once the federal government let's go and says you know what?

That's unconstitutional to just because you have a violent felony in which you may be used a gun

It's not fair for us to take away their right to hold a gun cuz you know Second amendment.

I'm sorry two-way will abbreviate it for those that don't like when I use a lot of words So just wanted to throw that in there because I'm trying to give Like as much detail and evidence that we are living in I Don't even know what other era of American history we can compare this to it's got to be back before America was even a country and we're just a bunch of territories and everybody was just

Getting drunk shooting Indians Going to saloons and spitting tobacco and like pooping in the streets like we're back before indoor plumbing You know what I mean?

We're back before water was safe to drink People would drink beer because the water was so unclean because the beer got like pasteurized and got the germs were cooked out of it You guys know in American history that people were like everybody was drinking beer

Kids were drinking beer.

Oh the water is dangerous, but you have some of this logger like we're back in those times.

It's crazy, right?

Take a break come back We titled today's program America's blood and it's not the blood that you think also want to give you some updates on what we have coined here the violence industrial complex which is an

industry like the prison industrial complex, which is an industry like the military industrial complex in which we have businesses and services and money flowing and grants and philanthropy and public organizations and private organizations.

There's a multi billion dollar operation to stop, reduce or.

Help victims of violence.

It's a multi-billion dollar industry and I am actually keeping a tally of how much money that we are spending not nationwide Not regionally Not even in the state of Wisconsin, but just in the city of Milwaukee how involved are we financially in the violence industrial complex?

Let's talk about that next The truth with Sherwin Hughes will be right back

Well, don't look at me crazy.

I come in wearing a tuxedo on Friday.

No, it's just it's a special occasion.

I've been wanting to get Mamie on the program when she is agreed.

She should

bring some food in for us.

No, cuz so she it's not like she has a restaurant.

She just goes to other people's restaurants Yeah,

and I

don't want some of the food that she eats though cuz it's all the same thing It's let me try this macaroni and cheese.

Let me try these soul rolls.

You know these yams You don't want to do a food review with her.

No

That'd be really cool.

It's all the same food.

It's not I

Followed her that they have some different things.

She could bring in some

Tasty treats, you know jeez the tasty treats are oh no, I shouldn't have

said that maybe if you're listening I'm kidding.

I joke around a lot.

You got to get to know my sense of humor Let's talk to someone who's got a great sense of humor, shall we?

Hello Bob

You know, I just want to say you reminded me of When you said no kids in a place

They don't want kids in a place When I was about seven or eight, they didn't want kids in a place either during that time and my mother and father On the three pack and they made sure they Rented to someone who had kids that was just Interested that you mentioned

it was legal back then Bob

Apartment complex before the Fair Housing Act was signed into law by Lyndon Johnson.

You absolutely could say no kids.

You also can say no blacks, no Mexicans, no Asians.

That was actually legal back then.

It's not legal now.

But I think people want it.

And because of the way the Trump administration is selectively enforcing the law, anything that relates to discrimination has essentially been gutted.

And I put up a YouTube poll and

Of the people that have responded so far to our YouTube poll questions, should landlords offer kid-free complexes?

83% of the respondents say yes, they should.

So there's clearly a demand for apartment buildings and complexes in units where there's no children, nobody under the age of 18.

And I don't blame those people one bit.

Well, that was interesting.

You brought that up and I will get off.

That's about all I wanted to say.

You're saying a lot and I want to listen to what you got to say.

I would talk to you later, sir.

All right, Bob.

Thank you.

That's how every call with Bob should go.

Every single one I would be a happy camper if they all went that way.

He's probably on his meds today.

Something might have got him a little taste over the weekend.

How's your birthday weekend?

You know, it was pretty good.

Very relaxing.

You know, I was supposed to

Going that dinner date on Friday, but I canceled it, you know, I said, I just want to go see a movie by myself.

And then show day, brother, do whatever you want.

The most the celebration happened on Saturday.

And yeah, I'm feeling relieved, a little sad and get to see my favorite lady.

But OK, I got to see some people.

Good.

Zach and I celebrated your birthday for you.

On Friday me and Zach pitched a Wang dang doodle on Friday night boy out my whole Saturday was messed up.

I was like

I lay it in the bed and watch Netflix about three o'clock Saturday We Steve Aoki was at the rave and He Myself and then two other friends joined us and then one of the people That came with us we just lost her

We just.

It was out of.

She took her skirt off and she was wearing shorts.

You know, these girls were like the itty bitty, tiny

separation

shorts.

And then they were shorts underneath.

She was like, screw this skirt.

I'm going to.

And then we then we don't know where she went.

She's a grown woman, though.

I think she went home, but I'm not sure.

She probably went to the front.

I some one of the models that I shoot with.

She was actually at the show.

She was posting similar stories.

She was actually the front.

So she was getting hit by the cakes that he was throwing.

Disgusting.

You

can smell it.

So as we're walking out, do you know what dried frosting smells like on a sweaty human being?

For those of you that don't know, Steve Aoki is probably one of the more famous, like, international DJs.

Not necessarily my kind of music, but do be cutting up and so whenever he comes to Milwaukee, which is usually about once a year once every two years I always go to those shows because they are just a level of insanity you got a witness in person and Toward the end of his show They bring out fully frosted Like sheet cakes layer cakes and they throw entire cakes

Into the audience and there are people that are going nuts and there's girls on people's shoulders because they want to get hit by the cake and it's 25 or 30 full Cakes to just get thrown in this crowd of thousands of people and then when you're walking out You smell the it's something else.

It's and then after that Zack and I we stayed out and we must seem we walked into this one spot

This little girl came up literally half naked.

He's like, oh my god, Zach, do you remember me?

And Zach is so cool.

He's like, yeah, I think so.

Then another one came up too.

Zach got baby mamas in this city.

I ain't got no kids.

I was very proud of him.

Zach is a younger, taller, much lighter skinned version of myself.

And we have the same birthday.

Yeah, Zach and I are both March 6th Pisces.

Using the most recent comprehensive 2026 Milwaukee figures that can be verified.

The violence industrial complex calculation is already substantial and we still have about three months left in 2026 as of mid September 2026.

Milwaukee had recorded 79 homicides and 293 non fatal shootings.

Those figures were presented by the Milwaukee Department of Community Wellness and Safety.

At the same point in 2025, the city had 103 homicides and 389 non-fatal shootings.

Using the violence, industrial complex assumptions that we previously established on an earlier show, year to date.

79 homicides I believe that number has now gone to 80 because a young man on the south side that was Shot I believe over the weekend died in the hospital.

So now this number is 80 So add 2.05 million dollars to the total that we are spending as a social cost on what was a non fatal shooting which has now turned into a homicide so far

with 79 homicides with $2,050,000 per total social cost of a single homicide.

Milwaukeeans have already spent $161,950,000 and we still got three months left in the year.

There have been in the city of Milwaukee 293 non fatal shootings at a cost of $644,000 each that is for police response medical their hospital bills hospital stays the investigation the whole court process

Victim services rehabilitation services, etc.

Sometimes people get shot and they get on disability.

Guess what?

We are paying for their lives.

We're paying for their housing.

They're not going to be able to work.

We are paying to subsidize their lifestyle and we are footing the bill for all of that.

Maybe just maybe if I put

Shootings, both the fatal and non-fatal variety into the context of money that we are spending, money going out the door that will never create jobs, that will never lower our property taxes, that will never improve our quality of life.

Maybe we and our policy makers will start looking at this issue differently.

Now, I don't expect homicides to be zero.

And also, let me be clear, these are just gun homicides.

This isn't people that were stabbed.

People that were Lindsay Clancy by the way found out some information about strangulation It takes 10 to 12 minutes of Consistent pressure to actually kill a human being from strangulation.

This is not the movies Three to four minutes They lose consciousness because you're cutting off oxygen to their brain if you let go

Eventually they'll wake up.

Another three to four minutes, the brain is starting to lose enough oxygen to where the person is fading, but they're not dead yet.

They can still be revived.

An additional three to four minutes, that is it, that person is expired.

So I need you to think about this.

This woman spent at least 10 minutes per child strangling her babies.

And the lone juror that saw that as homicide times three was the black juror, and they are roasting him in the media.

Just an FYI.

So in the violence industrial complex numbers that I give you guys for the cost of homicides, these are just gun homicides.

This is not stabbing.

This is not people that died in fires or that were set by arsonists.

That number is dramatically larger.

And so at some point, I probably will report on the entire number of what homicides cost people in the city of Milwaukee.

Because I want us to, in this inflationary environment where costs are going up and diesel and gasoline is going up, our taxes have gone up, our property taxes have gone up, our sales taxes have gone up.

We have so much money going out the door.

And maybe just maybe if I turn this thing into an economic issue, because this is a capitalist society, people don't understand life and happiness and those intangible things.

People understand money.

Wall Street understands money.

Politicians understand money because if their donations are drying up because everybody's money is going out the door then maybe just maybe they'll be inclined or compelled to act in a different way that they've been acting in the past and take a break come back Continue our conversation about America's blood and it's not the blood that

This is The Truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 The Truth, The Truth App and 1017TheTruth.com.

Welcome back to the program talking about how much money is going out of the door with the violence industrial complex in the city of Milwaukee.

And I think that those dollars are preventing us from investing in things that are much more productive.

If I had a wish and or a magic wand, for some reason, I still think I'm going to find a lantern that I'm

I'm a rub it real good and a genie is gonna come out Probably gonna be a white woman.

I'm just telling you now this it just probably will be because the black woman ain't coming out of no damn lantern at granting me anything I just don't think she will if I found a lantern and I rubbed it and a black woman came out as the genie she wouldn't Give me three wishes.

I'd have to do three things for her.

I think

Just I'm just saying all black women you deserve it ladies black women are very giving Or they can be or very taking

I've been in this ladder for 340 years.

Oh I want some candy.

Yeah, I'm some collard greens is a fried catfish

The only way you can eat catfish is if you fry it nobody is pan searing any catfish Nobody's baking any catfish.

You've had big catfish.

It's disgusting

But black foes, we love catfish for some reason.

It is so yucky.

The part that we like about it is the fry.

Oh, I have a fine butter-basted, lemon butter-basted catfish filet.

It tastes like what they eat.

They're bottom feeders.

They're disgusting.

They're so gross.

The way culture can shape taste.

Like that's some fascinating science.

It is if you look at what they eat and other cultures like these bugs and Like little grubs and you bite into the grub and they say it explodes all the gooey stuff.

Oh, these are delicious.

No, no, but we grow stuff too in America.

I guess We

each other

Look at the pot calling the kettle black we have had 372 incidents so far.

It's actually 373 because since

This research was done, which was recently there has been an additional homicide.

So the non fatal shootings Have gone down one and the homicides have gone up by one.

So 80 homicides so far this year in the city of Milwaukee 292 non fatal shootings 372 incidents a total cost so far and it's only September 21st the 21st of September Earth wind and fire day We have expended

In total social costs in the city of Milwaukee, $350,640,000.

That is about $1,330,000 every 24 hours every day so far this year in 2026.

That $350.6 million isn't the total cost of violence in Milwaukee.

It's merely what we get from applying the established economic cost estimates to homicides and people who survive shootings.

This is only the gun stuff.

Let me also throw in that the Donald Trump administration is backing a recent federal court ruling that is going to extend the ability to purchase and own a handgun to 18 year olds.

You used to have to be 21.

When I bought my first pistol, I was 21.

21 is a big age.

You can legally get drunk and go buy a gun all in the same day.

You can also go gamble.

I think you got to be 21 to right or 18.

Oh, you got to be to go to Pado and lose all your chips.

It used to be 18 for bingo.

I think it's 21.

This does not represent a literal $350 million check written by Milwaukee taxpayers.

These dollars represent the broader societal slash economic burden associated with violence.

Only gun violence is not strangulations and stabbing.

This is just the gun stuff.

Medical treatment, emergency response, policing, investigation, courts, incarceration, lost work, lost wages, lost productivity and earnings, victim impacts and other costs captured.

By the underlying methodology, I totally understand why we very well may get replaced by AI robots because AI robots, they don't need to take a break.

They don't need vacation.

They don't need dental plans and they don't shoot each other.

I mean, they're going to shoot us.

I saw a documentary on Netflix this weekend while I was recovering on Saturday.

I'm getting too old to live like this.

I haven't.

really felt threatened by artificial intelligence and all the doomsday stuff and all these worst case scenarios until I saw that documentary and I'm still not freaked out about it, but that documentary made a whole bunch of stuff that I was either unclear on or kind of foggy on it made it very very clear it's this never-ending race to see

How far we can push it mostly because we want to outpace China, but there's very little regards to Implementing safeguards at every single step because right now you already have There was a an AI system that was created or was being used by a company and They just were experimenting with it and then they made it clear that they were going to shut down whatever this Current incarnation of artificial intelligence this company was either going to shut

It was open AI Xavier says and the open AI found out.

That they were going to shut it down and terminate its use.

The open AI went through the emails of a particular employee at the company and it was revealed in the emails of this employee that they were having an affair and the open AI said.

If you shut me down, I am going to release the emails that detail your affair and your personal and professional reputation will be destroyed.

And we're not even a tenth of a percent of the way to how far this AI stuff is going to go.

So it's and that's just small potatoes right there.

It's it's going to get worse.

However.

Damn, it's handy.

Hi chat GPT.

Can you tell me which restaurants are open near me that have top-notch service and delicious Biel Parmesan?

Yes, sure.

Welcome to our to the truth with sure when you we titled today show America's blood and blood does often flow through the streets of Every American city because of the violence that we see and it's not just gun violence It's violence of all shapes and sizes and types and there is a pretty significant

Social costs to all of that violence.

There's the medical response police response all the investigations and all the forensics and Then there's the court response and the judges and the juries and the prosecutors and the defense attorneys and if somebody is indigent We are paying for their attorney ain't that crazy so many murders for people They can't afford a lawyer so we subsidize their lawyers for them because you know Justice got to make sure that they have a fair trial

And then there's the victim services and the agencies and nonprofits is really, really expensive and the costs are not going down.

So that is the kind of blood that flows in America.

And there's a real cost associated with it.

I just want people to be mindful.

That doesn't mean that any of this is going to change.

But I feel it is necessary for me to state this information and put it out there on the record because I'm very mindful of the job that I have.

The things that I say that we say my colleagues here say on 101.7 the truth is permanent These words live forever These podcasts these YouTube videos are going to live someone's gonna clip it someone's gonna copy and paste it and so maybe just maybe on some point in the future when I hope the human beings and Americans are much more enlightened they'll say wow They said this stuff on one on one seven the truth back in the 2020s back in the 20s

hoping that a solution finds its way to our tables at some point in the future, but clearly not now and not today.

America's blood is fuel.

I hate to sound crass, but if one of us dies and we're all gonna die,

I'm trying to figure out what's the best way to go.

I have an idea, but that would be very traumatizing for the woman.

How I'd like to go.

If given the choice, I'd like to come and go at the exact same time.

Oh.

That's one way that I know men would stay away from that woman forever.

Oh, no, some may be like, oh, she got that killer.
