Truth In The Afternoon with Dr. Ken Harris · Mon May 18, 2026

music

Bringing you his authentic perspectives on important topics.

They live in suburbs together.

They live in the city together.

They hang out together.

They all in the same family.

We're the only idiots that fight

because we want our voice to only be on one side.

Like does that even make any sense?

And when the side loses, you lose everything.

They on the other hand, have a voice no matter what

because somebody that looks like them is always in control.

Frank, candid and straight to the point.

Well, it's just a skewed system.

Of course it is.

It's a lot of a judgment.

But answer my question up there.

Should we let people go?

Should we let people go?

Like let's just forget about bail altogether.

And if your neighbor commits a homicide and kills people up there.

If you kill people and they next to you

and you just let them come back and live right next to you,

they can live upstairs from you.

Let them come in your house.

Frank, candid and straight to the point.

This is the best radio show in the state of Wisconsin.

Truth in the afternoon with Dr. Ken Harris on 1017 the Truth and Truth Act.

Now, he's the mayor of the city of Milwaukee.

He's a young man, give him a chance.

I only complain about things that I care about.

What I want you to do is pretend like I'm in St. Louis.

And now I'm asking the mayor of the County Council president

and the County Council.

Show me.

Now live from the American Family Insurance Studio at the Avenue

in the heart of downtown Milwaukee.

Here is Dr. Ken Harris.

You're listening, my Truth in the afternoon.

I'm your host, Dr. Ken Harris a 3 3 2 1 2 1 0 1 7 is the number.

So much stuff has been going on this weekend.

So much stuff is happening like it's it's like trying to keep up with

everything is just yeah, it's just bizarre.

Number five from CBS 58, a former school principal learned her sentence

today after being convicted of her 4th O.W.I.

I don't know how she has a job, but anyway.

So this is quite literally when we're talking about an O.W.I. offense.

It's as aggravated as you can get says judge Michael Kinnitz.

I and I haven't even gotten to your blood alcohol level

and I haven't gotten to the fact that there was alcohol in the vehicle.

I haven't even mentioned that your license was revoked at the time.

Blair Bussack.

Former principal at Milwaukee's Institute of Technology and Academics

was will spend two years in prison with six years of probation after her release.

She was arrested last March after leading police on a chase in Washington County

which ended in her crashing into a guardrail.

I can march this year.

She pleaded guilty to attempting to flee an officer attempting to flee an officer.

Attempting.

But I guess when she didn't do it, I guess it didn't matter she crashed.

As well as our fourth O.W.I., those O.W.I. convictions have occurred over the course of the past two decades.

Doesn't matter if it's two decades or two weeks, what were this woman's friends doing?

Like literally what were this woman's friends doing?

That she felt like she had the ability to just roll in and drive.

But I guess I don't know what it is.

I have no idea what it is.

Well, I know what this is.

Number four, also from CBS 58, Milwaukee police are investigating a stabbing that happened

their 14th and final act this past Saturday.

Police around 5 a.m. say a 33 year old victim was stabbed and transported to a local hospital.

A 24 year old woman was arrested in connection.

Criminal charges were referred to the district attorney's office in Milwaukee.

And as if that wasn't enough.

Number three, also from CBS 58, a 26 year old woman was arrested in connection with the stabbing near 13th and Hayes.

27 year old was stabbed during a domestic violence incident around 2 a.m.

victim was transported to a hospital for treatment of serious but non fatal injuries.

Criminal charges against the 26 year old suspect will be referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office.

And last time I checked because you know, I can't kind of went to the I went to the public school.

That's two women in two days that stabbed another person.

Now, maybe I'm missing something.

Maybe something's wrong with me.

But when you all start complaining about us's, you know, like men, which is what I'm talking about today,

you all start complaining about us.

Don't, don't like, you know, pretend like you know what you're talking about.

Number two, from WISN.com, Milwaukee County Judge refused to accept a plea deal today.

For a 15 year old charge in the kidnapping of a seven year old last year.

Judge David Borowski denied the agreement, which would have reduced the teen's potential sentence to over 90 years to a maximum of 15 years in prison.

The deal, the plea deal included the team pleading guilty to robbery and waving his right to trial.

This crime as described in the complaint is straight out of a very, very, I say severe Netflix movie, Borowski said.

Barry Coleman, the team defendant appeared shackled in court as a state and defense presented the plea deal.

According to the criminal complaint, Coleman orchestrated a plan to rob the seven year old boy's mother.

But instead kidnapped the boy, y'all remember this in an attempt to hold him for ransom in July of last year.

He's charged with three felonies and a misdemeanor, including kidnapping, taking hostages possession of a firearm by Bill England.

And Borowski said, no way am I taking what's on the table to take him from 90 plus years in prison to 15 despite.

Get this. Both the state and the defense being prepared to forward to move forward with the agreement.

Borowski expressed his reservations in the case.

He said, this is a heinous allegation, even for Milwaukee.

What is that supposed to mean?

And that's saying something counselor, the defense wants to try to convince me you can try, but right now I'm not convinced.

That's what Borowski said, following statements from the assistant edition of turning Kenneth Olstinski and the defense attorney,

Borowski said he was rejecting their plea deal.

Look at the judge said.

They say 15 years in prison.

The judge said, no, we need to look at approaching 90 basically.

He said the defendant is the one that allegedly did the physical grabbing and the carrying and the throwing of the kid into the car.

So I'm not accepting the plea period.

What Borowski said.

It's not in the interest of justice for me to accept this.

Borowski scheduled a new hearing next week to give the two sides a chance to revise their deal and present it to him again.

Otherwise, the case will be scheduled for a jury trial.

Now think about this.

Trying to get money, scooped up the kid, threw him in the car, held him for ransom.

Remember, they went looking for him and all of a sudden he was released from the place and was found walking down the street and all that.

And mother wasn't alleged this and dad wasn't alleged that and all that drama last.

And then they found the person.

15 year old.

Kidmaps a seven year old.

Would you lock him up for 15 years and he gets out when he's 30 or with the pile of time due to do 90.

I wish it was 20 90.

Is there is there a what's playing a part in this story?

Like what's what's playing a part in this story?

Is it because of race? Is it because of age?

Is it because of who they grabbed?

Is it is it because of who that like I don't know what it is.

But something about this story disturbs me that judges are now deciding that a plea deal between the defense and the prosecution for 15 years of prison.

And the kid can get out sooner.

He's only 15 years old.

Might be able to be saved.

Right?

But something in this is stopping it.

You want to give it more time?

Like I don't know.

Is that something that we should do?

I have to talk about that later.

Number one.

Because I thought I've heard things.

But I guess safety isn't even safe anyway.

A private parking garage security guard was attacked while confronting a man attempting to break into cars.

The assault happened just before 6 a.m.

So the Milwaukee police said the 34 year old guard discovered a 32 year old man inside the parking garage trying to break into vehicles.

The guard confronted them.

The man attacked the guard.

According to the police who was taken to a hospital with injuries they didn't provide an update on the guard's condition.

Right?

All this would be like almost normalized.

Right?

Until you found out it was in cars near the Milwaukee County Courthouse.

Till you find of where they were breaking into.

People that park in the parking lot.

I have parked in that place every day I worked when I worked in district one or the jail or had to go to court.

And you have security who actually works there who's walking through sees a guy trying to break into cars tries to stop the guy breaking into cars and the 32 year old man inside the parking garage trying to break into cars attacks the 34 year old guard.

Police detectives confirmed around 1015 a.m.

That the suspect had been taken into custody and the criminal charge will be referred to the DA's office.

The guard is employed by Kassir Securitas, a private security company, and they're checking with the company that's what WISN12 was doing.

We have come to a point in society where we have to watch the watchers.

That we can't even trust simple security so our car can't get broken into to be there.

And that's unfortunate.

It is it is it is really unfortunate because we're getting to a point where.

Yeah, I don't know.

You're listening to truth in the afternoon on your hills, Dr. Ken Harris will we come back and we'll hit the talk and text line and the.

YouTube chat.

And I got a few topics up my sleeve will be back.

It's truth in the afternoon with Dr. Ken Harris on 101 seven the truth the truth app and 101 seven the truth dot com.

I'm confused like is crime are women taking over crime now or is it?

I know it's anecdotal women just using like knives now.

Like I don't know.

And are we starting to categorize crime the way that we categorized crime back in the day.

Like it's like it's like boomer crime, right?

You know what I'm saying?

It's like.

We used to be able to see somebody got shot.

Oh, I know who did that.

Hey, somebody got cut.

Oh, I know who did that.

Hold somebody stole like a pound of this and that.

Oh, yeah, I know who did that.

You can tell if it was a mob thing or if it was a gang or if it was just some knucklehead going into.

Dude, like you knew based on the information they gave you.

Who really committed the crime because we were good at categorizing now people are mad.

You can't categorize me.

I could be different.

I think we moving back to categories like women stabbing people.

Because back in the day, that was a, you know, when women got mad.

She better be careful. She better have a knife.

Like that was what we talked about and yeah.

He was like, she might have a knife.

She might cut you.

But be careful.

She gonna cut you.

Well, two and two days.

Like that's a lot.

Just for me and just saying that's a lot.

I think that's a lot.

And if I think that's a lot,

I'm pretty sure you think that's a lot too.

Mouse said I love the shirt by the way.

Thank you. Black scholars matter.

That's right.

As he said, when I was talking about new friends, as he said,

just say no new friends and move on.

No big deal.

Just say nah, I'm good.

But what do I do to handle the other person that's offended that I actually said that.

Or to handle their offense.

Or should I bother?

Should I actually bother to control how they feel?

Or just blow them off and be like, hey, if you don't feel okay.

And if they're offended, they're offended.

Because I can't control people being offended like I was telling somebody today.

They were like, you know, you're being disrespectful when I said,

well, I can't control you feeling disrespected.

Just like people can't control me feeling disrespect.

You know, I can say it can be taken as being disrespectful.

But I'm not disrespect.

I don't feel, oh my God, you disrespect to me.

That caused too many fights, too many world, you know, wars.

And some stuff is just like that.

Let go.

But I just don't want to make no new friends.

Like, we might hang out.

We might meet up.

We might chill somewhere.

We might, hey, let's all meet up at this place.

Let's meet up at that place.

But I'm not making new friends.

I think I got all the friends that I want to make.

And, you know, if we click, we click.

And if we don't, we not.

And I'm okay.

Now, there's a, there's a other secret side to that.

That I want to talk about.

And the other secret side is being so alone

that you in the, in the, in the man cave by yourself watching Netflix,

documentaries on poodles and all kinds of crazy stuff.

Like, it's just too much.

It's just too much.

And so we have to be careful of that happening.

And, and as you, as your age, your friends die.

And then you ain't got nobody to talk to.

But there's always family and some friends and all.

But just making new friends.

And I mean, to the point of, we got to go through this, this ritual of,

hey, how you doing?

I'm fine.

How are you?

Let's go have coffee.

And how is your life?

How did you grow up?

How did you, sometimes you get tired of doing that?

Like, I can't do that.

Maybe it's just me.

It's not.

But at some point, at some point, Mr. Medisse, I'm your friend.

Now, you're not, trust me, you're not.

And then that's when I read the message that you can never have enough friends.

That's not true.

Because then what do they want from you?

And what do you want to give them?

Right?

And so sometimes, and I'm going to say this, Mr. Medisse,

sometimes we mask how we really feel in being happy all the time.

Of being opposite.

Oh, I never, of always thinking positive all the time.

That's dangerous.

Because he said something.

He said, Dr. Kim, so I'm like an old man.

Okay.

What you miss from that is how did you get there?

How did you get to that point?

Because nobody wants to hear that.

They just want to hear you there.

And so I find it interesting.

I'm just reading through some of the things in here.

Like some of the things Mr. Medisse says,

it strikes me as you're just trying to be provocative,

or that doesn't make any sense to me.

It doesn't make any sense.

As he said, Hughes views his own vacation,

but he is live this week on YouTube.

Okay.

As he said, I'm done promoting.

Y'all terrible.

Curly Q said.

So on my top five at five,

we were talking about somebody at the parking garage

that was breaking into cars.

And Curly Q said,

it was a cousin.

It did.

Okay.

I'm just teasing.

I'm just teasing.

So my cousin on the south side of Chicago,

that is what Aaron said,

always warned us about the women with blades.

I'm just saying,

that was a serious caricature,

a serious stereotype

that if a woman got mad at you,

she was going to stab you.

Who's going to cut you?

And so you always had that thing

in the back of your mind going,

yeah, I need to be,

I need to be cognizant of that.

As he said, we ran into an 80-year-old man the other day

and he said all his friends have passed on.

He was by himself and having a drink

and a good time by himself.

He said, he's just blessed to be here.

I know that's right.

But here's the kicker.

You're blessed to be here at 20.

At 20 years old,

we have not taken control over our lives

to the point where we don't understand

that it's literally not promised

that you could be here today

five minutes from now,

you could no longer be alive.

And that's it.

And so if we don't live life in a way

that's positive or working towards something

where the other fellow stars,

we, I think we're wasting our time.

I think we're wasting our energy.

People don't miss that.

People understand that moving forward,

there are just some things and some shackles that fall off.

And that everyone is a victim of time.

And that time is always going to be there no matter what.

And it's always going to pass no matter what.

And you can't change it.

You can't push it once it's passed.

You can't adjust it.

All you can do is look forward.

And I think that's something that we as black people don't do.

We go through life with this thing

that it's going to be so terrible.

And that's what has me confused.

It's going to be so terrible.

It's going to be, oh my god.

Is like, nobody in your life won anything?

Like you didn't overcome anything?

There's nobody like, I can understand if you're 80 or 90 years old

and all your friends passed away

and all your family got older, moved to something like that.

But when you're in your 30s or 40s or God forbid,

even 50s and you're complaining

and the fact that you're alive and complaining

is a whole other issue for me.

It just seems weird.

The city of Milwaukee has to change.

And the only people that are going to change it is you.

That means you can't wait on somebody to come around, roll around,

decide to do this, decide to do that,

decide to end the end that's going to come down to you.

And you have to step up

and you have to decide whether or not you're going to be the one

to say, I'll do it or I'll go.

Because I'm going to tell you,

it's not a lot of people

that want to step up and take care of anything.

And it's unfortunate.

But not a lot of people want to step up and take care of anything.

And you'll be left wanting.

You're going to look up

and you're going to find out

that the only person left is you

who may come in for you.

Unless we do something in this city

to correct all the mistakes

and correct all the things.

Well, we come back.

I want to talk about some comments

that the governor made

about one of the reasons why

the building passed

in Madison.

And what that's going to do

for black people.

What's it going to do for Milwaukee?

It may have gone

and people weren't complaining about, you know,

it shouldn't pass.

It's terrible.

But do they really understand

when your leadership tells you

it's going to be bad

that it didn't pass

and people skip past that person?

The governor,

because in their brain,

he's lamed up.

We'll see.

You're listening to Truth

in the afternoon.

I'm your host, Dr. Ken Harris.

A 3-3-2-1-2-1-0-1-7 is

the number now with traffic.

Here's Debbie Lonsaker.

You are listening to Truth

in the afternoon with Dr. Ken Harris

on 101-7 The Truth,

the Truth app,

and 101-7 TheTruth.com.

I said you're wasting all my time.

I said you're wasting all my time.

I said you're wasting all my time.

I said you're wasting all my time.

I said you're wasting all my time.

I said you're wasting all my time.

Right now, on Up Front,

Dramatic Downfall.

Stitched together in a backroom deal.

The Tax Relief Deal

negotiated by Democratic governor Tony Evers

and Republican leaders

fails the state senate.

Democrats rejecting their sitting governor.

That's the only thing I've heard.

Republicans hearing objections from Tom Tiffany.

And we have to work with the governors here

because folks need help now.

This Sunday,

inside the turbulent fallout,

what it means for the race for governor

and our exclusive.

Our new interview,

one-on-one with Governor Tony Evers,

is wide-ranging reaction just moments away.

Then state party convention.

And so, if you missed it,

last week,

the governor

and Republican leaders

and a few Democratic leaders decided

that they wanted to make sure

that we had tax relief.

So,

Governor Tony Evers said,

the Senate Democrat,

this is from WISN

and a story written by Matt Smith.

Senate Democrats who voted against the tax relief deal

have put themselves

in an untenable position

ahead of the November elections after,

get this,

all 15 Democrats vote it

with three Republicans

to kill the bill.

They said they believe

that somehow putting money

back into people's pockets

that are struggling financially

across the state.

Apparently,

they don't believe that's an issue.

And that's the kind of problem

that we're having here

in Wisconsin in relation to that.

However,

the governor says they're going to say,

we're going to fix it next time

when all these wonderful things happen

after Evers is gone

and we'll have a new governor

and we'll have Democrats

all over the place

and he said,

that's fine.

That's a wish list.

But you're impacting kids

right now, impacting children

right now

and it's a bad place for Democrats.

What are your thoughts?

832121017 is the number.

Were you for it

or against it

or does it really matter?

It looks like people

are voting against it

because either the governor's

lame duck or they don't like

Republican leadership

or I don't know what it is.

But they just don't like

giving money back.

They want to spend it

on what they want to spend it.

This is weird.

That you would take

money and blow it

on something that you shouldn't

buy it on.

But if you give it back

to the person that gave it

to you,

there's an issue with that.

What are your thoughts?

832121017 is the number

you can hit us

on the talk in text line

or you can hit us

on the YouTube chat.

I just,

I just find it

bizarre.

I just find it weird

that when we try to give

people their money back

at a time

when people are clearly

struggling,

I got friends

out of struggling.

I mean struggling.

Like I have two

at times go,

hmm, I can't spend money

on that.

Like I can do that right now.

Because I don't know

what the future is going to

look like.

And I don't know if I can do that

because I can't do that.

Does that make sense?

But for some reason,

we just,

I don't know,

we just keep going.

Sandra,

you're on the word

of truth.

How do you be?

I'm just fine.

How do you be?

I'm good.

What's up?

Hmm.

I heard you had a birthday.

Oh.

Technically.

Yes.

Okay.

Good day.

I'm not telling.

Oh,

I'm a tourist like you.

I guess.

If you don't tell me,

I don't know.

You might be a criminal.

Let's just say it.

Let's just say it's

in the vicinity.

And I've never given

a birthday because that

way people can't

figure out who you are

and get all yellow from

all that stuff.

Gotta be careful.

We got great, great people

out here.

We got people that will

do all kind of bizarre stuff.

So.

Well,

some other day learned.

They learn from some other

folks.

Yeah.

But that don't

mean I've got to be a victim.

Well, be either.

Yes.

I see.

When I was with my,

you know,

hey,

wherever,

you know,

you're worried about what

you're going to do to me.

I just try to look around

and try to be safe.

That's what I tried to do.

But,

anyway,

that was just calling you

about.

So the station is

brought out right.

It's not bought out.

Somebody bought it.

Somebody bought it.

Somebody bought the station.

Yeah.

Okay.

Right.

So that's bought out right.

Maybe I didn't say

it right.

Somebody bought the station.

Okay.

So that's the kid.

I'm going to say that.

I don't want to hurt you too

though.

This is what I'm saying.

I am going to say that.

I don't want to hurt you

too late.

I can't really.

I read that.

The media is being bought out by big

hedge funds and big corporations

and stuff.

I believe that if people

with money,

I have nothing to say regarding

it.

I'm not moving forward with it.

I don't want to say nothing.

I'm saying it.

Well,

I don't want you to say

such that.

That's what I really.

How do you feel about it?

Tell me.

If you're not going to tell me

where you got it from,

Sandra,

tell me how you feel about it.

I would prefer that.

How do I feel about the media?

No.

How do you feel about it?

How do you feel about it?

I like your freedom of speech.

Okay.

I like your freedom of speech.

Are you there to say

what you want to say?

I want to say that.

I don't tell you what you

want to say.

I want to say that.

I want to say that.

I want to tell you what you

want to say.

Well,

that's what I want to say.

No radio has freedom of speech.

Let's get that

that

that misnomer that people have

in their brain.

You have a license

by

the Federal Communications

Commission

and you're responsible

for that license.

You're responsible

for what goes out

over the air

because you have it.

So that's a special bond

you have with

the federal government.

But

you only have freedom of speech

to a point.

Like you can't say

certain words.

You can't say certain

dirty things on the air.

Like you still need to

have decency.

Does that make sense?

Even though we don't

have any more,

what do you call it?

Equality.

Like you can be

all conservative

or all liberal.

Or it's somewhere

in the middle

or libertary

and we can be

odd

of other stuff.

But

we used to have

equal, right?

If I had somebody

on for 22 minutes

for this,

you got 22 minutes for that.

And then

some people don't

like radios.

So they want

a different type

of person on.

So they try to

we're going to use this rule

to stop that group.

But then our group can be on.

And then they want

to change the rule

so that their group

and it just gets

out of the way.

So that's where

yeah.

In the end,

nobody really has

freedom of speech.

Not on radio,

not on TV.

Because you need to be

well, you don't.

You don't.

You don't feel

people that you don't

agree.

You don't,

you people tend to agree

that there's freedom of speech

when other people say

things that they want

to say that they don't

like.

No,

but that's the

question.

I mean,

that's where people say

stuff and they never

got shit at all.

I said stuff and

they want to.

They should be

also fair.

you have to

understand?

Most,

most social media

leans one

political way

versus another

political way.

So if you're not

politically correct

in their eyes,

they,

they have become

the police for people

who feel a certain way

or think

that they don't

like.

You know,

like I say,

and they do that

too,

just as well as

I just read a

DM on it,

but I think

they do that too.

Because

the people

listen to

more young people.

You know,

they

do that too.

But you have a

bit of stuff

and they listen to

it too.

So I say

I can answer that.

And when I answer that,

click.

But that's a very

good one.

Bye-bye.

8-3-3-2-1-2-1-0-1-7

is a number.

We just,

we just have to remember

that we live in America.

But freedom of speech

only goes so far.

Right?

There's some things

under the Constitution

and federal law.

You can't do.

You can't say.

Under any circumstances.

They used to come

after you to get you

if you said you

wanted to kill the president.

Now people

don't like the president.

So some people

want to kill the president.

It'll come talk to you.

But they won't.

They may not necessarily

rest you.

I don't know what that's

about.

I think you should do it

regardless of who the president

is from

from

from Barack Obama

to Donald Trump

to Bush

to

Clinton.

On and on and on.

It's

it's the position

not the person.

I think when we allow our

personal feelings

to cloud

and what's right

or saying what's right

that's

problem.

But it is what it is.

Right?

You just don't have

that right to do it

in certain spaces.

You used to have that

right on cable to do it.

Now you don't have

that right on cable.

Because now the people

that assign you the cable

will say we don't

like what was on your station.

So we're going to cut

you off ours.

Like it's just weird.

So when you think about it,

there really is no

freedom of speech

unless you're

standing outside

in the public square.

Speaking.

Otherwise,

you can get checked.

And unfortunately,

sometimes,

you should.

More of Truth

in the afternoon

with Dr. Ken Harris

is next on 1017

The Truth,

the Truth app

and 1017TheTruth.com.

Well, that's pretty darn

depressing.

You're listening to Truth

in the afternoon.

You're listening to Truth

in the afternoon.

You're listening to Truth

in the afternoon.

You're listening to Truth

in the afternoon.

Here goes Dr. Ken Harris.

8332121017

is the number.

I mean,

dug up some haul

of notes from back

in the day.

Wow.

Currently it's 83 degrees

at 46 minutes after

the hour.

High today was 86.

The low tonight is 64

with a 1% chance.

Just one.

There's a 1% chance

of rain.

So we've got to

be careful of that.

What is the week

looking like?

What is it going to be

like over the next?

Is it going rain?

Or is it going to

what's it going to do?

Tuesday,

the high is 70.

With a 13% chance of rain,

then Wednesday 50, 50,

56, 50.

So it's going to cool off

for the rest of the week.

So if you weren't

outside today,

it rained a little bit earlier

and then it's starting to

warm up now.

So if you want to get

out, then relax

and take a walk

and chill.

Now might be the time

to do it.

8332121017

is the number

if you got any questions

or comments.

Let me go back to

the talk and text line.

Can I understand

that it is an age thing?

If it's political,

meaning that people

may help you get

where you want

to get,

you have to be introduced.

I agree.

I also have enough friends

and the majority

are not true friends.

When you reach 60,

you have a handful

of true friends.

You're lucky.

I got a lot of true friends.

Like I literally have friends

that I talk to every day.

Like we call.

And when we haven't

talked to each other in a bit,

maybe one or two days,

we start going,

okay, is everything okay?

Let me get a personal call.

Let me see what's going on.

Let me see what's right.

And so that's a friend,

where you could pick up the phone

and really not,

not like, like,

miss what you were talking about before.

You might,

you might miss it

because of age.

You know what I'm saying?

You might miss it

because of age,

but you don't miss it

because, you know,

you weren't like connected.

You're always connected.

You're always doing stuff.

You're always,

hey, it was going on.

And you have so much stuff to talk about.

Like I just referred a book to someone

and I'm going to bring the book in tomorrow.

Even though Thursday,

we're going to talk about

the Spukus app out of the door,

which is just a,

just an excellent fun.

I want to read.

And if you don't have time,

you can just do it on Audible

and check it out

and you'll be able to do that.

It is,

it is so appropriate.

I didn't like the ending that much,

but I'm going to talk about

that in relation to what we do

today and how we function today

and the things we've had to come through

to figure out

how to make it to where we are today.

Because

it's true.

Like some things are political,

some things are just,

yeah,

but when you get to a certain point

in your life,

you start seeing those patterns

and those processes.

And you see how and why

people have been able to do things.

And it's unfortunate.

It really is.

It really is unfortunate.

So I can text on this.

Dr. Kim, the real pro-union,

pro-working class,

Democrats are long gone.

Now it's how much can you disagree

with the Republicans

and Donald Trump?

The Democrats need more people

like Senator Federman

from Pennsylvania,

from a pro-fossil fuel,

pro-worker.

And to a point, yes,

I can see that.

I think what happens

is that we have grown

to disagree

with people's differences.

Like it literally used to be

a cool thing to be different.

Now it's not.

Now everyone, everybody,

to think the same way,

speak the same way,

talk the same way,

support the same thing,

do the same thing,

and they don't really care

whether or not you agree

and they'll hide

behind political correctness.

And it makes you sound

like a conservative

when in fact you're actually

being more liberal

by allowing people

to be who they are.

Like I think that's the whole point.

To let people be who they are,

whether you accept it or not,

you leave them be.

Not tolerate,

because tolerate is like,

I really hate you

and I'm gonna put up with you.

No, I'm not talking about that.

I'm talking about leaving people be,

letting people be who they are.

To the point that it doesn't

infringe on my life,

then we have an issue.

But until then,

leave people.

Now it's a cool thing

to hate Democrats.

I guess a cool thing

to call people out

and talk about them

and racialize everything.

It's a cool thing

to hate Donald Trump

and hate MAGA

and everything they stand for.

When in fact,

both of those groups

are the wealthiest

in the country,

have more money,

have more political power,

more clout,

own more than everything,

and are in the top one percent,

top 10 percent

of the population,

Democratic Republican.

So essentially,

what are we missing?

People from up top

poke the bear

and have everybody argue

and scream and holler?

These are not,

it are nothing in Milwaukee.

Nothing in Milwaukee.

Well, that too.

Nothing has changed

in Milwaukee or America.

The players have changed,

but it really hasn't changed.

You know, we talk about,

you know,

the Democratic Party

used to be the party

of the clan.

Yeah, and Republican Party

used to be the party

of anti-slavery.

Like those things are historical.

Times change.

Not always for the better.

And until we start taking a look

at what's going on

and recognizing what's going on,

we're going to be surprised.

Except you shouldn't be surprised

because the process has always been there.

The work has always been there.

And we pretend like it's not a thing.

Oh my God, I can't believe that that happened.

What are you talking about?

You were told.

Hey, you keep doing this.

This is going to happen.

Oh, no, it's not going to happen

because they, right, Republican Democrat,

told me it's not going to happen.

And then what happens?

It happens.

And then you act like you're shocked.

And then they'll walk up.

Oh my God, I can't believe this happened.

You poor Republicans are doing this to Democrats.

You poor Democrats are doing this to Republicans.

But somebody says something

YouTube chat that clicked.

Don't they both eat at the same table?

Don't they both get their money from the same place?

But what am I?

What am I missing?

Y'all sit and eat at the same table.

You're complaining from the same side.

Both of y'all eaten.

Complain about the other side as you eat.

As you take resources.

As you grow.

So are we fooling ourselves?

I don't know.

Sandra has a longer runway than me.

She's older than me.

So she has a, she has a bigger runway than I have.

So sometimes when she talks and you all hear,

you might want to listen.

Because there's a little kernel you'll get.

A little nugget that makes you go,

oh, that's what that is.

Because I've learned that when older people,

elders get revved up about something,

they see the pattern, they see the process of things

starting to repeat itself.

You're listening to Truth in the afternoon.

Your host, Dr. Ken Harris.

Tori Losehell's coming up next.

Have a great weekend.

Have a great time.

It's been a fun.

Don't work too hard.

God bless, take care.

Thank you, Zach.

Appreciate you.

This is about...

Be quiet.
