Matching

the matching the baby baby girl gap.

Should I should I find someone who's artiste to put faces on the front?

You could do that.

But anyway,

I'm just wondering, you know what I'm saying?

Because they seem oh, you know what?

No, I shouldn't.

Okay.

You want to know why?

Why?

Because they are here to when they grow up, they're going to invoke justice.

and you can't, you know, pick a side, you know what I mean?

So they shouldn't be able to see like, oh, baby girl, girl, you know, the girl, she got a smile on her face like she gonna be for the other people or whatever.

You know what I'm saying?

So they supposed to be impartial.

You know what I'm saying?

They gotta just, boom.

And we have so many variations of crabs.

You know, it's the hermit crab that don't like to be bothered.

Like leave me alone.

Either way goes.

That's right.

You know, so yeah, we, we are what we, we are who we are.

Uh, we represent and we are sign banging this morning.

Uh, so here's where, here's what I wanted to finish with.

I wanted to let people know that y'all could be the number one zodiac sign here on earth.

Cancer is the number one zodiac sign and I've said this forever in the universe.

So y'all can have earth and be number one and battle for number one down here.

But the supremacy is within the universe.

So that means even if they find life on other planets, we will still be the number one zodiac sign because we are the number one zodiac sign.

in the universe.

Thank

you.

So universe is a whole nother level.

So y'all can have this earthly thing and battle it out.

But yeah, we know what it is.

Hell no.

We know

what it

is.

We know what it is.

You know, so you know, we're used to, you know, this is why we have a shell.

We're used to the haters.

You feel what I'm saying?

We're used to the haters.

So we have a shell to protect ourselves.

But if we, if you cool with us, you feel what I'm saying?

Here have some of our legs.

Okay.

Listen, let

me tell you

I have

so it is what it is.

I spent the very youthful years all my life up until I left home with my sister.

So I know y'all's game plan anyway.

I'm just saying, you know.

Anyways.

We are

who we are.

This is true.

This is very true.

You are who you are.

Absolutely.

And you make no apologies.

Hashtag that

part.

Hashtag facts.

Order in the studio.

You're going to learn today.

So, but Beco.

Happy

birthday

and may be blessed with many many many many many more.

Absolutely.

He said thank you.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

I shot him a text and told

him that he said

thank

you.

All right.

Yeah.

Well, you're very welcome.

You're very welcome.

You know, so you think we did a good job?

I think we did.

We might get it.

You

might get an extra little bonus.

Yeah.

All right.

Because we said so.

Yeah.

We said it

first.

We said it first on the air.

Yeah.

All right, we good.

It worked, baby.

Okay.

The rest of y'all forget it.

It ain't going to work.

We got locked up.

We got to learn.

Yes,

absolutely.

That part has tech facts.

Yeah.

So Bailey, a lot of people were without power.

I was blessed to not be in that number.

Yeah.

118,000.

Yeah, that's

crazy.

The

power was out.

Yeah, I was less

not to be in that number too.

And then Menasha, they had a EF two.

Yeah,

tornado.

A lot of people lost their homes lost a lot.

It

looks

terrible out there.

Yeah, absolutely.

And yeah, it's bad.

Yeah,

it's bad.

So hopefully people were able to, you know, survive the severe thunderstorms.

And that's why you got to pay attention when they tell you, like, it's going to be crazy.

The weather is going to be crazy.

Yeah.

Pay attention.

I know sometimes they may be wrong on certain stuff, but right when they write ooh, they write right.

They write so prayers.

those of you who are, you know, religious, you know, prayers to all of those who may have lost everything.

Yeah.

Things that you can just never replace.

Those are the things and I think those are the things that hurt the most.

Yeah.

And I know I hear people say, but I got my life.

I get it.

I get that.

But there's some things that you lose.

Yeah, that you'll

that that yeah, that will pain you.

Yeah,

probably for the rest of your life.

Yeah,

absolutely.

I mean, especially if you lose like a home and everything in it.

That's where I'm going.

You know, I mean, uh, the last pit, the pictures of you, if your mother is no longer here, your father or, you know, uh, important people, sons and daughters, all of that was in there and it's just gone.

Yeah.

You know, and with a tornado and no telling where it landed.

You feel what I'm saying?

Because it's.

spinning.

Yes.

And just going and taking things with it.

So inside.

Oh, it'll be.

No, it's not.

You don't understand.

There are cars and trucks that are found five, six blocks away from where it was originally at.

Yes.

Tornado.

Yeah.

So prayers to everybody.

Yes.

We got to take care of some bills.

We'll

be black.

Don't touch that dial.

Welcome, Black Troop Nation.

Troop in the morning.

Before we went to break, we were talking about the Merrill Park building.

here in Milwaukee, um, on Mount Vernon and the fact that the residents and including a lot of them who are disabled, uh, others that are seasoned citizens had no running water at all for two days.

And we don't know what the update is right now.

And even I think.

When they talk about the one solution that they did

Yeah,

So make sure you like and subscribe and do that thing

All right.

We're going to have our producer Xavier, uh, play this clip and then we need to talk about it.

Xavier.

No one in housing authority will help us.

Milwaukee residents who are low income reached out to TMJ for help on their second day without tap water or working toilets in their apartment.

This is happening at a Milwaukee Housing Authority apartment complex.

More than 100 elderly and adults with disabilities live.

Our Ben Jordan shares the biggest frustration for some residents like Corey and Michael and how the city is responding.

Several people who live here at Merrill Park Apartments tell me they didn't hear a word from the Housing Authority of Milwaukee about this issue until we started asking questions more than 24 hours after they lost tap water.

Milwaukee Water Works says they've had crews here investigating throughout the day identifying the issue underneath this building, but where exactly that leak is remains a mystery.

I can't why it's because.

I have no water power.

It's a basic necessity.

Corey loves says Milwaukee's most vulnerable should never have to live without no water, no hot water, no cold water, tap water, bathroom is even worse, working toilets or showers.

That's all you get in an apartment where he says many disabled residents can't leave without assistance.

I think someone should be knocking on our doors

telling us what's going on.

So I should be this morning.

So I've been knocking on our doors.

That's not water if we needed it.

Because if you don't have it,

there's nothing we can do.

Corey and Michael Mays say they were left without bottled water.

I'm eating ice, the ice that I had.

And Corey says he couldn't find a public restroom in walking distance.

Do you think this is acceptable?

Heck no.

No, it's not acceptable.

We won't even treat animals or prisons like this.

Nobody deserves to live like this.

I know it may be something out there that's been done.

But we should have been notified.

They should have

some type of accommodations.

Milwaukee Water Works tells me it started investigating after receiving several complaints about water quality and pressure from residents Sunday morning.

I requested an interview with a Hackham spokesperson.

They provided a written statement that reads in part, Hackham is continuing to work with the city's Department of Public Works and contractors to determine the source of the problem.

It goes on to say that all units are affected with either decreased or no water flow at all.

Temporary accommodations have been provided so that residents can use the bathroom and drinking water.

Corey says they're now offering one bottle of water and a working toilet in one vacant apartment unit.

There's other people in this building that I worry about.

We got elderly people in wheelchairs.

We have people with diabetes.

We had people that's on oxygen tanks

that need fresh water.

Hackham says there's currently no timeline as to when this problem will be fixed.

We'll be sure to follow up to find out when these residents can expect to have their water restored.

Reporting in Milwaukee, Ben Jordan, TMJ4 News.

And Ben

Jordan

is your

life.

Unacceptable.

Wait a

minute.

So they offer in them 100 people now.

100 people.

We got one working bathroom for you.

Right.

And one bottle of water.

And what is that a day?

Yeah.

You know what?

Okay.

You know what?

This is not the first time that we've had a problem with Hackham.

Right.

We don't talk about

that part.

Yeah.

That part.

That

part.

Wait a minute.

Okay.

That whole department needs to be blown up and put back together Let's just be realistic about it Because nothing in there has worked for years And so you get a situation like this What what the man doing?

It's the city, right?

Mm-hmm.

What what the man doing?

We need to find out I

mean

again and just think about

Just the weather we've been having as of late

and

and

you go say y'all got one bathroom to use

one In an empty unit one Y'all gotta line up Do you know that that would be like lining up at a stadium or something?

roll their wheelchair down there and something to use the bathroom.

And then how long do you have to take a shower or you don't understand to clean yourself up?

Oh, they didn't even say that about them being able to take a shower in the bathroom.

They just said you can use the bathroom.

See, there's that part.

So everybody run around there.

They ain't been able to take no shower, get themselves clean.

And you know what?

That is a health situation for real.

You got to be able to do that.

No working toilets.

You can't even wash your clothes up in there

Right, but you but even deeper than that.

You can't wash your ass

You can't say it like

yes, like Dale Mack on her YouTube face and somebody from the city cut them folks water off I mean something and you can't

find it

Has there been anybody else to try to work this thing out to try to find out what's going on?

And they have no notification.

No, nothing

that you had that part.

You know, I come from a situation to where is, um, like say if somebody is going to be working on the street and working on pipes or whatever they may be working on, they'll end up coming to try to ring your doorbell.

If you don't answer, they'll put a little tag on your saying that.

This is what's going on.

Your water is going to be off.

Your gas is going to be off.

This is unacceptable.

If you have relatives there, I don't know.

I'm shot, in my opinion, that it had to be some of the residents

that

complained.

Because if my mother would still have been alive or my oldest sister would still have been alive.

Oh, hell no.

Now, I would have been making a whole hell of fuss.

All of my radio shows, because I was on the radio at that time, too.

Absolutely.

You know, part of my 35 years, I would have been.

Oh,

yeah.

You know what?

There's no reason why all of those those residents and their families, they all should be complaining right now, calling wherever they got a call going, wherever they get.

Being out in front of that apartment, I would pick it outside there.

There's no way in the world.

Did you go have a hundred people in that building disabled people right?

You know No water no nothing and you ain't gave them no notification.

You're not keeping them updated on what's going on That's shameful.

That is just shame.

We don't do that to people.

It's inhumane

It's very inhumane

and again a lot more noise should be being made about this situation.

Yeah, and

Answers need to happen.

Like, what is the guesstimate?

I mean, I don't care if you have to bring in portable water tankers or whatever the case may be.

Portage odds, whatever you gotta do.

Yeah, like, it's gotta be something.

It should

be cases of water being

dispersed.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

As

many as they need, whatever they need.

Right.

That needs to be happening

and coolers if they wanted to be

exactly.

Yeah,

exactly.

And it should be hand delivered to every resident in that building.

And here's the thing.

If a none of that working, you know, is the AC working?

Is the

they say they didn't have the electric.

So, you know, that's why the guy was able to eat ice.

because obviously in the freezer, but he couldn't make no more.

And then when you think about water to make a little trickle, maybe the

bottle of water could help him

out.

Right.

And to me, the trickle of water, there's no telling what type of contaminants are in it because of whatever the problem is.

Absolutely.

We're going to go to Michael.

on our troop text lines.

They're open at 833-212-1017.

If you out of Texas or call in, Michael, great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

Turn your radio down.

Turn your radio down.

What's your truth on this?

I just want to say how, because I'm a disabled person and I live in a sister living and we all have running water and do not have a running water.

It's not right.

And they have one toilet to working for all the residents.

Like you said, mainly it's inhumane, very inhumane for that to be going on like that.

And I think we need to really call the authorities on this and gain going because I care for people just like they care for me.

So I want to see them getting their justice and finding out what's going on and giving them updates and all that good

stuff.

So that's my truth.

So that's my truth for today.

And I wish you like well and enjoy the rest of your day.

Yeah.

All right.

Thank you,

Michael.

After two.

I

have another one after two talk text like a 3 3 2 1 2 10 17.

If you want to get in on this conversation, Stacy said morning down.

They may as well have put an outhouse in the back like down south.

My grandma had one.

I know that's true.

Right.

Right.

You know what?

That's, that's what I was saying.

Porter Johns, all the things.

We got, we got Al MKE.

Great morning on our True Talk text lines, 833-212-1017.

Great morning, Al.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

You hear the conversation.

What's your truth?

Oh, that's beyond inhumane.

But here's my question.

What was this when this stuff jumped off?

Did Capitol Hill Johnson give the management to an out of town company to look over that?

Because I know at one time it was somebody else black that was over it

and

everything got done, but versus them fixing the problem.

They just passed the buck and gave the problem to somebody else versus.

coming in there and fixing everything.

Me personally, I think they dragging their feet because number one is low income.

It's affecting black people and people who have no money.

Because you know EDTA with a cost of people like that, they drag their feet.

And there's no reason and no excuse.

You gonna say it's one apartment with one working toilet.

Right.

And one bottle of

water.

and one bottle of water.

So where are you politicians at?

You're always here for everything else.

So don't be, so don't be there and be all quiet.

See this is why people don't respect a lot of them.

Now let's see when it's time for both.

You're gonna see them oversized teeth with them oversized bites and them smiles that's full of sugar honey iced tea.

So

They need to be calling on these people because if they gave the management to our out of town custody, they should be asking them why somebody who live in another state is handling something in Milwaukee.

This is all in house.

So y'all have yourself a good day.

Thank

you.

We

had to get us, didn't

we?

We got to get ready, take care of some bills for troop nation.

We still want to hear from you.

Uh, what's your truth on this situation?

It's a lot and like I said, it's definitely inhumane.

It is.

It is.

You

know,

my question is what portion, what portion or what role does the city play in this?

How, how we, how we going, how we going to fix this?

Yep.

Yep.

What is the solution?

We got to get ready take care of some bills.

And bring them to the kids zone.

If they love Michael Jackson, the boy or the girl, they love Michael Jackson.

Make sure you put them in the Michael Jackson outfit.

But if they not.

They can still enter the competition that we're going to do.

But I think it's a little icing on the cake if you end up having either a hat or a glove or a jacket or something.

The gloves.

Yeah, absolutely.

Absolutely.

So that would be an amazing thing, in my opinion, for your child to be a part of and win.

You know, Bailey, there's a lot going on and there is on today's TMJ for there was a story and this thing right here is is amazing to me because.

There is the Merrill Park, you know, high rise for our seasoned citizens, right?

Right.

And they have.

A situation where they haven't had running water.

tap water, bathroom, no water, can't flush the toilet like for two days.

Yeah.

And they hadn't had an explanation of what was going on.

And they just had

to.

How was it that you were going to do something like this?

Right.

And these are all disabled.

Disabled residents, you

know, disabled residents.

You don't have running tap water.

You have no running water.

You

can't wash your ass.

For two days.

Yeah.

And they didn't if they didn't speak out, they saying, you know, and I'll try to get Xavier in a clip, but it'll probably have to try to be through.

Through your text Xavier, but it's a TMJ for a clip but just to hear the people that they talked to and then the fact that they were saying We don't know where it is.

It might be something up under the building.

You give them saying And and they're resolved If not, I just play the audio and I hold it to my mic because it's sad it's really sad but

Merrill Park, my mother, may she continue to rest in peace.

You know, she took her last breath in Merrill Park.

January 23rd, 2011.

And, you know, so just to, you know, think about, you know, what that building means to me.

And then after she passed, my oldest sister was living with her.

You know, when she got, you know, sick and

she

got to that stage where she definitely needed someone there with her.

So she was living with her.

And then when my mother passed, she took over, you know, the lease and then when she ended up being diagnosed and she spent her last breath at Merrill Park as well.

So, you know, I know the building very, very well.

Um, of course, uh, she was one of the stars of the building to be like, you know, your son is over.

So, you know, uh, and everybody commonly called her mama blow.

Right.

Uh, but yeah.

So I, I know that facility.

And just to think it with the disabled citizen, like, where do you go if you really got to go?

And you, when you think about a lot of seasoned citizens and just some of the disabled citizens that live in that building, think about.

If you're taking a lot of medicine

that

some people end up taking, it gives you the urge to have to go use the restroom.

What do you do?

Two days?

Yeah.

And no explanation.

Nobody's saying, hey, y'all water going to be up.

We working on this.

We working on that.

That's crazy.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's crazy.

I dare anybody that is not in a disabled situation that just

Imagine your home, your apartment, two days, no water.

Yeah.

And that's just the beginning.

That's just the beginning.

Because if you can't do that, you ain't got no water.

You can't drink nothing.

Right.

And you can't, you can't take a shower.

Like you said, you can't

wash yourself.

Right.

Yeah.

You can't do nothing.

Yep.

And some people have caretakers.

So how do they come and try to help and they don't have water?

They don't have, you know what I

mean?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

How are they taking their medicine?

Yeah, exactly.

Exactly.

Just, you know,

and you got to go.

OK, run this back.

Who's responsible for this?

Right.

You know, what what government bureaucracy is responsible for this?

Right.

We're going to we got to take care of some bills, but I do believe Xavier has the clip up when we return.

OK, we'll come in with that clip and.

We got to talk about this.

Like this is unacceptable and anybody who has a loved one or relative in that building should be up in arms.

Like for real.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, so you're listening to truth in the morning on the award winning one on one seven FM.

The truth.

I'm the legendary home blow along with my girl

Bailey Coleman

You are listening to Truth in the Morning on 1017 The Truth, the Truth app, and streaming live on 1017 The Truth on YouTube.

Welcome, Black Troop Nation to Truth in the Morning.

Broadcasting live from the American Family Insurance studio in the heart of downtown at the Avenue.

I'm the legendary home of blowing along with my girl Bailey Coleman.

We're talking about the Merrill Park building here in Milwaukee out like 33rd Mount Vernon and The fact that they had been without any running water showers not working Kitchen sinks done it at no no running water.

You can't

use the bathroom because, you know, it's not going to flush.

Um, you can't take a shower or a bath.

Uh, you can't get some water to drink, you know, human necessities that, that we need.

And for them to get onto a TMJ four and say, nobody came and told the residents, Hey, y'all, we got an issue going on and.

Here's what we gonna

try Listen, I'm sorry.

I'm me to cut you off.

Oh, no, you good cuz I'm a type of person to go down there If I was in charge Mm-hmm and be like, okay now what's going on cuz somebody gotta explain something to me right now.

Mm-hmm.

No, no, no Who in charge?

Yeah, who is who is over this?

Who where who's in charge of hack them?

What's going on?

No, we need it.

We need a conversation right now We need find out what's going on and we need to resolve this issue today

that part

and People would have you can't just You can't just let something like this go and Not speak to it and not reason matter of fact, you know what?

I just want to remind everybody when situations like this come up remember

that early voting in the current election starts today.

And guess what else?

Election day is August 11th.

Yep, fast approaching.

So this is when you exercise your right to vote and you think about who's helping you and who's

not.

You know, there's a lot of people on the ballot.

We got a big raise for the governor's office.

We got this is like, you know, we're whittling it down.

Think about who's helping you or who's not.

Because they're helping you and they someplace on that list.

Hey, that's not who you want in office, is it?

Yeah.

Because if they ain't doing it right now, you know, and they got something to do with your situation.

They may not be good for another term or they may not be good for the movement forward that they're trying to get you gotta know

Yep on our YouTube page again while you're there make sure you hit the like and subscribe a K hit that bell Jasmine Gooden said it definitely sounds like the main pumps in the building failed and it sounds like the main line that feeds that building broke That's an expensive issue and tough to fix but burying a hundred people

Is it even tougher?

There you go situation to deal with to know that people's loved ones and family members may perish because they don't have

women

the essential okay need

Hackham got our tax dollars and they got money from the federal government government and Last I checked the person that's heading that or whatever makes more than the mayor does So they got money

They need to figure out how to get it done regardless Mm-hmm and not charging us no additional money They need to use the money they got now somebody needs to lose a little salary money Then that's what's gonna happen.

Yep,

cuz they don't deserve to make that type of money

More comments off our YouTube page again.

Great morning.

We love you appreciate you to everybody that's on our YouTube page Tony

Tony yet, I'm gonna just say Tony people want government to provide everything but they can't deliver worth a crap government is useless But bar said don't this damn city got qualified inspectors Will deny and say good morning.

Come on company said there's no timetable on when it'll get big

Exactly

if I wasn't attended if I was a tenant there.

I'm not paying next month's rent

There

it is.

Jasmine Jazz West said I love now.

We do too.

Yeah, absolutely.

Ebony also said it as well.

And let's see.

Reggio said they're talking.

They have their own conversation here.

I'm trying to catch all of these.

Let's see.

Katz said I've worked with a disabled six months to get an apartment for him.

placed by eye care, no stove, no mailbox, cat urine through the building, roaches, convicted sex offender with the young girl living there, something about a city apartment building.

And then Reggie will say something about a city apartment building who residents water was shut off.

Yeah, let's see what else is coming on.

Unacceptable.

Sandra Douglas said unacceptable and some people need to lose their positions.

Yeah.

Babar said where that sound at Merrill Park located a high rise located on 33rd and Mount Vernon and Guru say y'all think folks with no water voting early.

Come on now.

Listen.

Okay.

Yeah.

You're losing the bigger picture.

Exactly.

You're losing the bigger picture because if you feel like this is something that shouldn't ever happen.

Yeah.

And something that they just

shouldn't have told the residents about.

I'm telling you, I come up where even in this day and age, where if the city or somebody is going to be doing work in your area and they need to shut your gas off, they're going to knock on your door, ring your doorbell and if you don't answer, they're going to leave a note.

Yeah.

On there saying that your gas, we're cutting off the gas, we're doing some work.

Yeah.

From this time to that time.

Exactly.

And sometimes by the time you get home, they done with what they had to do.

Yeah.

So you get the note, but it's like, oh, OK, well, it's all now.

Exactly.

You know, so you didn't have to experience it.

Sometimes even if they have to shut the power off.

So in saying that, you got you got to think about the fact that when these type of things happen, this is such a big.

deal.

Right.

Like who's in charge?

Exactly.

So when we start talking about who's in charge, then that's who we need to be going at saying, how did this happen?

Exactly.

How did they not get notified?

It's called accountability.

Some hands need to roll, right?

Accountability.

Think about it.

Think about

it.

Think about it.

If it's something like electricity, you know, electricity, some people have

Uh, things attached to them where they need the electricity.

So if they're going to turn it off, they need to let you know.

So you can have your backup situation, your backup generator or whatever it is that you may need to keep you alive.

Right.

Plugged in, right?

Yeah.

So some people need water like that.

Correct.

Okay.

Some people do need water like that.

And so what do you, they don't tell them that the water is going to be off.

Right that they need.

Water can be life giving to some people.

It absolutely.

And so what?

And then they bring you around a bottle of water.

Here

you

go.

This is what you

listen.

We

got you.

Everybody

gets one.

Listen.

Is that it is so many seasoned citizens and disabled people that have medications that they have to take on a timetable.

Yeah.

So you ain't got no water to try to take your medicine.

Yeah,

the intervals that you need to take them.

Yeah,

that that

that that could be deadly.

It absolutely can be.

And so to the the the person that was on the two talk text line, the con the connection is is that.

OK, I got it.

The connection is is that you don't you want to vote for people that care for you and care for what you need.

You

know, we can go

break.

You take us a

break.

Don't touch that

dial.

Truth in the Morning will be right back on 1017 The Truth, the Truth app, and streaming live on 1017 The Truth on YouTube.

If you

were supposed to be at work at 8 a.m., you're late.

Welcome, Black.

The truth in the morning on the award-winning 1017 FM.

We are broadcasting live from the American Family Insurance Studio on the heart of downtown at the Avenue.

I'm the legendary home of blow along with my girl.

You good now?

We

back from

break.

What's your name?

What's your name is?

Bells.

All right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So don't

make it come up in here now.

We're straighten everything out.

Hey,

get everything sold

up.

We are we are talking about this extreme situation.

And again, when we think about our seasoned citizens, when we think about those who are disabled,

that can't do a lot of things for themselves and some are confined to wheelchairs.

Just a lot of the stuff that is going on at this Merrill Park building.

And again, I just want to know, like, what happened to giving them a notice?

They're obviously saying that they haven't received any notice.

They're saying that they had the one guy it was so far to try to walk to get to.

a bathroom like right out not in the building but like walking to be like who has a bathroom yeah that I can use and it's a lot of people that may not be able to do that so what is their alternative

eight, three, three, two, one, two, ten, seventeen is our truth talk text line.

And they

said there's one bathroom that they could

use.

One bathroom.

But here's the thing.

But that was after they, that was after they created the fuss.

Right, right, right.

So there's one bathroom in the building that they could use.

Yeah.

I mean, a hundred people?

Really?

That's what we're doing?

Yeah.

We've got Pat on our True Talk text lines.

Pat, great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

You hear the conversation.

What's your

truth?

Good morning, family.

I was thinking we cannot do anything about that, that those people that won't fix it because they said they don't have a timeline.

But the community maybe can drop off water.

I plan on dropping off a couple cases of water.

That's what I was thinking.

Yeah.

Yeah, we could just do that until at least they have some water to drink because it's been some hot days and I can't

even

imagine Not being able to drink some water

Yeah, I mean

it's almost like we live in the third world country But sometimes the community got a pitch in and take more for the team.

So I'm gonna drop off a couple a couple cases of water I hope everybody will follow suit and y'all have a great day you

too I mean, that's a great.

That's a great thing.

But

where they

gonna go use the bathroom water right away comes

You know what?

I'm just saying they

got

one if they all drink they got one spot that they can go to I'm just saying

Bailey

keep it

real order in the studio.

Come on now.

Am I lying?

No lies detected.

Thank you very much.

Got some multi-truth talk text like 833-212-1017.

Leroy says sounds like a job for me.

Crowley time for him.

to shine.

I don't know about that.

Okay, anyway.

Miss sassy said I'm with Bailey.

What you gonna do?

No.

But yeah, I was definitely thinking about the water situation, like, um, and how the community.

Yeah, you know, absolutely.

Listen, and here, here's the thing in my opinion about water.

Because of doing a lot of different large events where, you know, I make sure that I have a lot of water.

You know, it, even if they fix the problem, which I hope that it is a number one priority to fix it.

I just want to say this to those people who want to drop off water.

Don't feel like just because, oh, they say they water black on that you can't still drop it off.

Yeah.

Because.

Water, you know, you could have water stored in your apartment.

Yeah, you feel no sense.

So yeah, still take it.

Yeah,

still take it.

So they'll have some bottled water.

Yeah,

you know, and I don't know how quick I'm going to trust the water when it comes black on right away.

Right, you know, like if you haven't had water going through your pipes, you gotta let it run.

There you go.

You gotta let it run

for

a while to make sure that it gets right

and all the impurities back up in there.

Yeah.

So I would still encourage people to if you can just drop off a case of water whenever you can.

Yeah, you can drop off a few cases, drop off a few cases.

You can only drop off a half pack of 24, you know, 12 pack.

Just do it.

Yeah.

anything will help, at least for their their drinking.

Yes,

absolutely.

And

some may, and I don't care if they end up using it to pour in a dish.

Yeah.

So they can try to wash up.

Yeah.

You

feel what I'm saying?

Exactly.

You know, so I just know that, you know, every little bit, every bit at this time, every bit, just let these tenants know that.

Uh, we give a damn and we care.

Yeah.

And we're trying to help in the best way that we can.

And I don't care if they just put them down on the main floor where they, you know, whoever's the office manager at that building now.

Yeah.

Look, we just here to drop off water.

We ain't trying to.

you know, violate your security policy and then like that, we'll sit it all right here in this front hallway.

When you first come in the building, y'all can move it where y'all got to move it and just let all the tenants know that we do have water down here that they can come down and get or they can have one of their family members or their caretaker come down and just grab some water, grab some water.

So that that's that's something that we can do.

Again, but that's crazy.

Another crazy thing, Bailey.

Our children.

There was a woman that was arrested, a 22-year-old woman that was arrested in an infant death that is rude, suspicious.

And it says Milwaukee police are investigating the death of an infant on Monday, July 27th and have arrested a woman in connection to that death.

Uh, according to the Milwaukee police department, uh, the seven, not seven months old, seven month old infant was found unresponsive at about 11, 20 AM near 25th and Hadley.

Police say the cause of death is suspicious and it's under investigation.

and a 22 year old woman was arrested.

What?

What do we do?

Like, you know what I mean?

Like, I don't know if people are paying attention to the amount of deaths of our children that are infants and two years old and four and five years old.

It's a lot.

You it should be.

Not it should not become common that we keep hearing about these children.

that are dying at these young ages, some because the people, the mothers or the fathers of those children have drug paraphernalia or drug residue from fentanyl and all kind of other drugs.

And the baby bottles sometimes have.

They didn't wash it in the water or whatever the case, but there's always different things.

Cause I've read so many criminal complaints where it was the baby bottle and it had this in it

and it had that

in

it.

The child was playing on the counter or on a, uh, a table in the living room and there was residue from drugs that ended up killing the child.

Yes.

The child ingested it.

And when they done, uh,

The toxic report, you know, saw that the child had these drugs or alcohol in the

system.

What are we doing?

What are we doing?

You know what?

You could only try to talk to people.

You know?

You can have a child.

It doesn't make you a parent.

That part doesn't make you a mother.

It doesn't make you a father that part You know and people don't realize these young ladies when they have these babies They don't realize the responsibility especially when you having your child at such a young age They don't understand how it works and how you up all night for the first six months You know and and how you know, I realized being a single mom

There are many instances where I realized why it was better to be.

It was better.

It would have been better for me to be married to have a child.

I'm going to just say that.

That's my own experience.

Right.

You know, as far as.

The help side of it.

Right.

Right.

As far as in the middle of the night, if you're the only one getting up to take care of that baby,

you're

going to be up all night.

And you're going to be tired the next day.

And it just leads to another day and another day till that child sleeps through the night.

And it's rough if you don't have any help.

I'm just being real.

Yeah.

Real tough.

And so there's a lot of responsibility involved with that.

And these some of these young people, you know, back in the 90s or so 80s, latter 80s, there was this whole babies having babies thing.

Right.

There was a whole song about it.

Right.

Right.

And it was like a supposed epidemic,

right?

And because young ladies, a lot of times when they have these kids, don't get it.

You don't get it until you're involved with it and you don't have the support or whatever you need.

And then some people just flip out.

It doesn't mean that they never love their child or that kind of deal.

But what happens is, I mean, they're still young.

So they don't want to delve into the real responsibility of having a child or they don't understand what really needs to happen.

Right.

Right.

And so they, they come into these situations where, you know, they could have used another hand or more understanding of the responsibility of having a child and they, they.

You know people turn to different devices and it's just explodes all over the place It's just you know, and that's what we come upon situations similar that we've been discussing

on our truth talk texts in our YouTube page Jasmine Gooden great another great idea Said some adult bath wipes and some depends extra like $25 short-term solution, but it's something

And I absolutely agree with that.

And like I said, you know, I personally was like, OK, I'm going to go get some water.

But I'm making a commitment right now that on behalf of the Homer Blow Foundation Inc.

nonprofit 501 C3, I'm going to take three hundred dollars to go and get some bottled water.

That's

wonderful.

You know, some some bath wipes, some, you know, some wipes that they can have.

And yeah, so.

When I get off the air, I'm going to go and switch out vehicles and as much as I can kind of fit in the vehicle, I'm going to fit it in the vehicle.

And if I have to make a second trip, I'll make a second trip, but I'm going to commit $300 on behalf of the Humber Blow Foundation.

That's what I'm profit 501 C three to, you know, not only talk about it, but be about it.

Yeah.

You know, because there are people who just talk about it and then there are people who just do it.

Yeah, and that's what it is.

So

we're flipping back to the other topic.

Yeah, I just wanted to say that after reading her comment of saying that, you know, some don't even need some bath wipes, you know, you know what?

That's all those kind of that

is good because people can take a bath

right with the wipes.

Yeah.

And those they might need the pens, you know what I'm saying?

Uh huh.

Yeah.

So all those things.

So I just wanted to do that.

And, uh, Jasmine, uh, good West, thank you for that.

Suggestion because everything can help.

Yes.

All right.

What you got Bailey

off the truth talk text line eight three three two one two ten Seventeen Greg said also take them buckets of water out the house.

It's free or containers of water.

Mm-hmm Melissa Millison said when will we have the discussion about removal of these people?

I thought Bailey was just having that when she brought up elections and somebody said, what does elections have to do with it?

We got to get her to take care of some bills.

You talk about the people from the community that they do it right, like the young lady and the baby and all

that.

Oh, yeah, yeah, those people, yeah, they need to.

I'm not going to say it now, but it's my opinion.

I'll say it when we get black.

I got an island for

that.

I got an island.

It starts with the letter A. You're listening.

I'm just saying, because it's a lot of people that need to go there.

You know, it should be attended like some of the other huge amusement parks, but it won't be any rides and fun games.

You're listening to Truth in the Morning on the award winning one on one.

Seven of them.

The truth and the legendary home blow along with my girl

You didn't want to?

Okay.

I'm like last second.

I'm like, oh Okay Ordered a studio, but it just is what it is What am I lying?

No, everything's clear

Okay, so there's a place called Annihilation.

I'm in that.

Oh, goodness.

Here we go.

Well, I said, you know, I was talking about it.

I mean, you,

you,

there's some people that they don't want to be right.

And oftentimes, if you look at the history of some of these situations, they're habitual.

And so if you just don't want to get it right, you know, and I get it.

There's a lot of stories

called prison,

not a violation.

Oh, violation.

I know you want to be

down with Xavier and y'all had the cage match.

It's over.

They're out of here.

I'm just saying, uh, because you know, you can.

Yeah, I get

it.

Millicent.

That's what she's talking about.

The removal of these people.

Yeah, that's where I'm going.

That's why I said I

have a place.

It starts with a A. He was like, I'm like, no, not quite, but it is accountability because it's just like the.

the 33 year old woman.

Okay.

And she says she's a hero for shooting the 12 year old boy.

Hmm.

She the community love by the way,

who by the way, in case you didn't check out our update yesterday, cannot walk, has to go to physical therapy to be able to walk again.

Right.

So whatever she did.

She has injured him so bad that he can no longer walk.

Yeah.

And she has a just a history of being a violent and not a nice person.

And every all twenty two charges had habitual criminality repeater apply to it.

I mean, that's just

this particular.

Yeah, for just this one.

Now, so that meant that she's has this kind of record.

She had just got out of prison, prison, not jail.

Prison 11 days 11

days

And here she go

hmm and is out waiting on Another case to come up.

Mm-hmm, right another felony

another felony case Which anyway, so

my thing is you know, how much are we going?

You know, and that's the thing I know I used to have the numbers for it

But, um, maybe our producer Xavier can look it up for us.

How much do we pay per prisoner?

Like, like it's a huge amount of money.

Yeah.

It takes to house a prisoner.

Yeah.

And, you know, where you thinking that money is coming from?

It's coming from us.

Yeah.

And I'm like, let's become economical here.

Okay.

And if you, that's why I say if you love your loved ones, whether they're toys or us adults or just any other, it's one thing to make a mistake and I get it.

You can make a few mistakes.

Right.

But if they continue to graduate to next levels, I'm not with just saying, oh, you know, it's just, it's all a part of growing up.

You know, you're going to learn this, you're going to learn that.

you don't realize that it's like one of the scenes in Black to the Future with Michael J. Fox.

And the baby was in the baby peeing or whatever.

Yeah.

And he was like, get used to that because, you know what I'm saying?

You're going to be

in prison.

You're going to be in and out of prison a lot as you grow up.

Yeah.

And he was like, get used to that type thing.

So, you know.

My thing is, yes, do I believe that people deserve a second chance and sometimes even a third chance.

I get it.

But if you are escalating your criminal behavior and activity and yeah, I killed one person.

I didn't mean to.

You know, it's pretty tough to tell the family that when they saw a video of you.

murdering their loved one

right

with no sense of remorse

right

but now all of a sudden right you know I'm sorry to the family and is that

me I mean here's the

thing you sorry you got caught

exactly you know here's the thing for me was she gonna go in there and plead her case to the father they had to rush his child to the hospital because she decided she want to come out hunt him down and shoot him

No, she says so yeah, I don't hear no remorse in her voice

To think about I feel bad for that man.

I feel bad for the boy, too You know you gonna have to I mean think about how he was he that probably tore him up You know what I mean?

You got a rush you take your baby to the hospital your 12 year old child to the hospital cuz some fool Decided that it was important for them to come and shoot your child

over a water bottle situation of selling water bottles.

Really?

Are you 33 years old?

No, no.

Yeah.

No.

So that's why, that's why I say like, you know, isn't the goal to, if you made mistakes coming up, because you know, a lot of people talk about, you know, when I was coming up, you know, I did this and I'm happy that somebody believed in me and they didn't give up on me.

I guess.

Yeah.

So.

What should be your mission once you become?

Grown and you understood and you change your life around what should be part of your mission?

Yeah to make sure that others don't make the same mistakes that you made

pass it along

You feel no sense.

So if you were a mother that came up hard, we get it Mm-hmm.

We get it.

You've done some things that you're not proud of.

Yeah, but

I always say this and then the views and opinions of the legendary home up low and

Bailey Coleman

does not reflect that Milwaukee black media or civic media but are the sole comments of myself as well as Bailey Coleman.

But if you ended up feeling like you had to be a stripper or you know, you were in prostitution and then your daughter.

You have a daughter and you saying that you want to get through college and all this kind of stuff.

And then your daughter ends up being a prostitute or you failed.

Yeah, you failed because you said you were doing this to take care of your kids to support your kids.

Right.

So now if your kids take the same damn path, right?

You did it so they wouldn't have to do it, right?

Right.

So that sounds like an F. If you asked me, you failed.

Yeah.

If you ended up being a drug dealer and I'd be like, man, I'm just trying to make sure that I can make it where my kids ain't got to never worry about nothing.

But now your kids come up to me.

You failed in my opinion.

Yeah,

that's just my opinion.

No, that's true.

Yeah, we got to get ready.

Take care of some bills.

Tim, we see you on the prison situation on our true talk text lines, eight, three, three, two, one, two, 10, 17.

We got to take care of some bills and we'll be black.

Welcome Black to Truth in the Morning on the award-winning 1017 FM The Truth.

Bailey has so many things going on, but we got Tim who is holding over.

We're talking about, you know, some of the situations in prison.

But see how much it cost to house a prisoner.

I still want to try to get that number I don't know if they were able to pull it up.

I know Sherwin probably got 450,000 400 to 50 no or 40,000 40,000 to 50,000

per

per inmate.

Yeah That's that's that's a lot and that might be per day Wow Sounds

like they need to go to work and earn that money

No, that's a year.

That's a year.

Oh.

Think about how many prisoners we have.

They need to work while they're in there.

Some of

them do.

They do.

They're on the stock market.

They make a lot of the things that we wear and they get pennies on the on the cents.

I don't even say on the dollar.

They pay for their room and board.

Forget that.

Right.

That part.

All their money need to go right back into the till.

Yeah.

Yeah, we pay you one 10 or one 35 per day.

Wow,

Tim.

Great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

You hear the conversation.

What's your truth?

Yeah, how you guys doing?

Bless bless.

Great.

Great.

This is my first time calling you guys.

But anyway, yeah, I was a little concerned about that.

I heard him mentioned the number.

I think county jail and state prison.

I think even federal prisons are all different.

But if you're just talking county.

close to 200 per MA per day.

That's, I think, around close to 30, $20,000 a year, roughly something like that.

But

here's

my thing.

It's like we're paying for their food, their medical, which they get, and mental health care, housing and utilities, security, maintenance, and facility operation.

So they're getting more than your average citizen.

Crazy

regular day.

Yeah, that's crazy.

It

doesn't make sense.

So I know I'm paying a proportion of that.

I'm a I'm actually a school teacher.

So I know how much I'm putting out every year.

I think it's like 27% of our income from in Wisconsin.

I believe the state of Wisconsin.

That's ridiculous.

And so I'm like, why?

Why can't I get my 14 $15,000 that I need a year?

Well, I got to give it to

somebody

to live a lifestyle like this.

But

Yeah, that's my take and I appreciate you guys.

I'll listen.

Thank you for calling.

We

appreciate it.

First time caller.

I love it.

We got to have a thing when we have first time car.

The first time caller.

Absolutely.

Love it.

Thank

you so much.

We've had a lot.

We have had

a lot.

We

appreciate everybody's opinion.

Absolutely.

And

everybody that calls

in.

And again, like I say, agree or disagree, you know.

I believe that you have a right to let us know what's your truth.

Exactly.

As long as it doesn't go across our FCC guidelines.

You know what I'm saying?

We'll try and

ding you on that.

Right.

Al knows how that is, right?

That part.

But yeah, that's a lot.

Yeah, a lot of money.

Yeah, absolutely.

A lot of money.

You know, and it's some people that like, even as Tim was saying, like it's a lot of people.

that don't even make that like above the poverty line.

Right.

You talk about 40,000 a year.

I mean, they can even

if it's 32.

Yeah.

Hey, listen, they get in there, they get everything taken care of and they get three squares a day.

Yep.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner.

And

then, you know, they got a way that they can get like extra food.

They watch a little TV in there.

You know, like little snacks.

They be going Facebook live.

They be on Instagram.

They really do.

Do they?

Oh, wow.

There's some prisons where they be cooking fish and frying fish and chicken in the cell.

But they they got it.

They use them steel beds and they they got all they got the things.

You know what I'm saying?

And I just want to know like for the prisons that that happens in.

Uh-huh.

How do y'all not smell fried fish or fried chicken?

We smell They probably

be like yo, can you hook me up?

What can I get a plate?

Yep?

That's probably to pay off and it's crazy It's crazy.

But yeah, some of them in there They ain't even try to come home

They got it all set up.

They got the stores.

That's what they know.

They got the stores in

prison.

Yeah, they

do

We got

the

stores.

We're doing trades and all that kind of stuff.

It's crazy.

Yeah.

That's why they

watch TV.

They keep up on all the latest things.

Yeah, this is why I say mine would be because we talk about those that go to prison and there's no rehabilitation, right?

Right.

Like you ain't watching regular TV if I'm in charge.

All the TVs are going to have all the things that we're saying it's going to be educational.

You're going to be able to take classes just like you can for colleges online and schools online to where as you can earn your GED or your diploma, you can earn your certification and degrees and all of that.

Like all of the TVs are going to be there.

I know you sitting here watching bad boys for life and all that kind of stuff.

You ain't doing none of that.

They

got

iPads up in there, too.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

All

the

things.

Listen,

all the palatial resorts.

You would have the team move.

That's what the hell you get if I was.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

All right.

You ain't gonna have no iPad show.

You ain't going to even have a Samsung pad.

Okay.

You're gonna have that.

You have a T move one.

Yeah.

You can see the people moving.

You know, I'm talking about the one that looked like that.

What was it?

The LED crystals or whatnot?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Pong and stuff

like that.

Yeah, oh man.

Pong, you gonna have Pong up

in there?

Yeah, Pong.

They gonna have Pong tournaments.

That's it.

That's it.

That's about all you get.

But no, like, again, and I know they're human, but it's not, it shouldn't be like a luxury for them.

Right.

Because to me, that makes them say, oh, it ain't bad.

You know, they don't come out and talk about, man, you shouldn't go in there.

Right.

They do things like this 33 year old woman, uh, Coachella, uh, Burrell, like can't wait to get black.

Her, she's lived her life in prison more than she's been out.

That's true.

You don't understand.

So it's

like, she get a little taste of freedom.

Right.

And, and it's too much.

It was an overdose.

Shouldn't even make it two weeks.

You know, and, and they say that like about some people, uh, who.

Once they've killed someone

Mm-hmm

They said it's not difficult the next time So you have some people that are really stone cold killers out here?

Yeah, because they have people that they may have killed and have not had to go to jail for it.

Yeah Yeah,

and so it's it's easy for them.

It's easier for them where me or you would probably even if it was for our own protection

And it was, you know, self-defense.

We'd probably be the ones that they show throwing up and stuff like that.

Like, I can't believe I just did this.

I didn't want, you know, we'd probably be crying more than, you know, the family of the victim or whatnot.

Because it's like, I didn't want to have to do this.

I didn't want to have to do this.

But some people that are just about that life, when you look at some of these videos that show.

Some of the youth and some of the toys or us adults and just people in general how many times and the overkill that they're doing with Yeah, with some of these homicides you're like, uh Sis, you know like that that wasn't enough I mean you you already gave a kill shot to the head.

Yeah, but now you want to

Run black and then run black up and fire some more shots.

It is crazy Looking at some of these people and then when they get into a courtroom Mm-hmm.

I just want to say I'm sorry to the family It wasn't nothing sorry about what you did right and the way you did it, right?

So now I'm supposed to you know have mercy and I just wanted to say to the family and then your family After you done murdered and took somebody's loved one away your family want to fight

the family that will never get to see a person alive again.

Your family will have the chance to come visit you in prison while they have to go to a grave site.

They have to look at their mantle at a urn or wherever they keep the urn if they cremated the person.

That's not fair.

No way that you look at that.

There's nothing fair about that in my opinion and I've always felt that way.

I feel some kind of way about that.

Yeah,

you're right.

You know,

you're right.

Yeah.

So yeah, something's definitely got to change.

They got to change.

They got to change.

You know, let's see on our YouTube page.

My D said it's 90 to 100,000 a year to house death row inmates.

Wow.

Wow.

That's crazy.

Jasmine Jazz West said they be doing TikTok dances.

They do all of that Bailey.

Maybe I'm gonna send you some some videos

some prison videos.

Oh, yeah.

Oh Yeah, you know, I don't know what states stay in but wherever that

So oranges the new black is actually real.

Yeah Wow, you know, I do see I have seen some prison shows where you know, they're locked up I like lock up and stuff like that.

I used to watch that all the time

DeAndre out the True Talk text line at 833-212-1017 said, now we know the real cost of freedom.

Huh.

Okay.

We gotta get ready to take care of some bills.

You're listening to Truth in the Morning on the award-winning 101-7 FM, The Truth.

Did you see where it was some middle school students that were talking about, like, they want to... They need help.

Yeah, yeah, because...

They're going through some things.

Yeah, at home.

And they're looking for help from school.

And I find it very interesting that they know how to express that.

You know what I mean?

They're doing what they need to do to try to get help in their home.

That part.

So we got to get ready take care of these bills.

You're listening to truth in the morning on the award-winning 1017 if and the truth I'm the legendary home of blow along with my girl

Bailey Coleman

will be

black Don't touch that dial truth in the morning will be right back on 1017 the truth the truth app and streaming live on 1017 the truth on YouTube

You are listening to truth in the morning on 101 7 the truth the truth app and streaming live on 101 7 the truth on YouTube

Welcome black truth nation You know it's so many stories that we wanted to get to we got through a few of them but

this one.

Should we save this till tomorrow?

Because it sounds like this is.

Yeah, I guess I guess we should.

But it's about Milwaukee middle schoolers sound the alarm.

Help at school hurt inside.

And you know, one of the things that I recognize about this, it's something that I also talk about a lot.

Yeah.

Whereas you got teachers.

that can't even teach because they have to try to be a counselor.

They have to try to be a friend.

They have to try to be, you know what I mean?

So it's like when you have so many children and youth that are going through things, you know, I know so many teachers that for some kids, they bring socks, they bring hats and gloves and stuff like that to school.

And even under clothes.

Yeah,

because a lot of the students don't have and you know that that's something and and not that they're supposed to but some of them have you know Shared with me that they give them gift cards so they can get something to eat from certain fast food restaurants Because

that may be the only meal they have that day.

Yep.

I say that even with my party every year You think about that when I say that I said some of those children.

That's why we don't mind

Yeah, eat.

We got it.

Yeah, go ahead.

Come you need some more.

Yeah, get in line.

Come on.

Get some more.

It's OK.

It's OK because you just don't know everybody's situation.

Yeah, absolutely.

And so if they can end up taking some and maybe saving it, you know, for them to try to eat later or take to some of their family.

Yeah,

absolutely.

Yeah, it's a lot of in this story.

It really breaks down a lot of those students and how they're

feeling and what they're dealing with and how teachers are, they're confident in so many situations.

But like I say, it takes away from the teacher just being able to focus on teaching.

Yes.

Because they don't want, if they're already talking about, they don't have it at home or they don't have enough of it.

You don't want to end up being the one to say, well, you ain't going to get it from me.

Right, so

yeah, it's

a very deep story with a lot of Interesting statistics that I think that some people will be surprised.

So we're gonna we're gonna hit on that

Yeah tomorrow because it's a

lot.

Yeah,

it's a lot and we really need to peel back the layers on that

right and what can we do?

Yeah, I'm saying what can we do?

It

definitely deserves our time and our attention because you know

Our kids are just our future.

Our kids are right now.

Yeah.

They are.

And if we don't take the time to look out for them and take care of them now, we're going to end up with more chaos than we have right now.

And we all know it's crazy, right?

So sometimes these kids only need one person to just step in and say, it's going to be all right.

And let them you know because a lot of these kids, you know either they're gonna it's like In these particular situations, it's either one extreme or another They focus so much and do the best that they can do and open up a door for themselves to be successful Or they go the opposite direction, right?

You know and so it's key and it's important that you know, we try to reach you know them

each one of them any way we can at that crucial moment.

Right.

And so these middle school students are really reaching out and it's important that we pay attention.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

And it goes to show you that unfortunately is some PWK's.

Yeah.

And even some of the students are recognizing it.

Uh huh.

So that should be a great conversation on tomorrow morning.

And.

Truth Nation, we definitely love to have you involved because it's going to take a collective, you know what I'm saying?

A collective effort to figure out some of these things and what the solutions may be.

Right.

As it relates to them because I got mine.

You know, I got my ideas of some solutions, but it's not just about me.

Right.

You know, it's about all of us

and

I can only do one part.

It's just like

you could only do your part.

Right.

You could only save, as I used to tell my staff, you could only save your corner right here.

It's you.

It's your corner right here on, you know, water and whatever, wherever you live or whatever.

That's the part that you could do.

Now, if everybody gets on their corner and they save their little group right here.

They you good, then we'll have some success.

Yep.

And the key thing is groups, because, you know, people be like, if I say just one person, we losing too many.

You feel what I'm saying?

One just isn't enough for me to just boast on.

You know, one is just not enough because for every one, if you're losing 20, that's not good odds.

That's not good odds.

So we have to look and work better on that.

And I survived without sending the videos.

from Casablanca and Rebel.

We're gonna

have to do that tomorrow too.

We're gonna have to do it tomorrow.

I'm gonna send you some of the videos

today.

I'm gonna send you.

And you be like, what?

And this one was Casablanca.

And this one was, you gotta remember, what street is Casablanca on?

What street is that?

Is that Brady?

Brady!

Oh

my gosh,

Brady Street.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And they was in there.

They was clowning.

They were really clowning.

I don't know if Xavier saw the Casablanca video.

Did you see that one?

On the rooftop?

They were

all through.

They were all up

and through there.

What?

I'm not surprised.

I mean, frequent guests there.

Not me, but, you know, the type.

Wow.

You know.

This song she didn't go to you know, yeah That you yeah, they were there they were in there they Bailey you gonna be like no No Yeah, you're gonna be doing a lot of that and Some of these some of these people just have no concern about showing themselves Unclothed and I guess you could look at how some of them dress anyway because

First thing you see coming out sometimes is yeah, and it's a lot of women and this is why it's really bad because you got to think some of those women have children and Besides leaning out for a father who may be or sometimes may not be there Who's the person that they own my mama my mama my mama, so if your mama is own Facebook Instagram tiktok

boasting.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And, and making all of these threatening posts and all of that kind of stuff.

You see what happened?

You want some more?

How do you expect that son or daughter to be anything else?

But that, right?

Unless they have another, we'll have to pray they have another positive influence.

Some place in their life.

Oh, see, they are kicked out of their lives.

Like, you'll tell my son or daughter what to do.

Yeah, that part.

Yeah So now you the one into a fight with them just because you're trying to tell them look we destroying our girls We destroying our boys, you know, we need to do this.

We need to do that Yeah, you do that for your kid.

My my baby is fine.

It's that you know, your baby has already been in juvenile detention Your baby has already been in the house correction.

Your baby has already been stopped stop acting like that's okay Well his daddy his dad

So that's cool.

Yeah.

Some people really think that way.

Did he fight in prison?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Did he?

He must have ran out of baby oil jail.

Oh, he got moved to solitary confinement though.

Yeah.

So now you got to work with yourself.

You caught it.

Okay.

Okay.

Order in the studio.

Home of love.

I had to check myself.

I thought I could skate on out of here with them.

No, no.

What you got, Bailey?

You know what?

You'll be getting on your nerves.

You still got to trust God and do good.

Skate right past.

Yeah.

Pray for him.

We're straighten everything out.

Hey,

get everything sold

up.

We are we are talking about this extreme situation.

And again, when we think about our seasoned citizens, when we think about those who are disabled,

that can't do a lot of things for themselves and some are confined to wheelchairs.

Just a lot of the stuff that is going on at this Merrill Park building.

And again, I just want to know, like, what happened to giving them a notice?

They're obviously saying that they haven't received any notice.

They're saying that they had the one guy it was so far to try to walk to get to.

a bathroom like right out not in the building but like walking to be like who has a bathroom yeah that I can use and it's a lot of people that may not be able to do that so what is their alternative

eight, three, three, two, one, two, ten, seventeen is our truth talk text line.

And they

said there's one bathroom that they could

use.

One bathroom.

But here's the thing.

But that was after they, that was after they created the fuss.

Right, right, right.

So there's one bathroom in the building that they could use.

Yeah.

I mean, a hundred people?

Really?

That's what we're doing?

Yeah.

We've got Pat on our True Talk text lines.

Pat, great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

You hear the conversation.

What's your

truth?

Good morning, family.

I was thinking we cannot do anything about that, that those people that won't fix it because they said they don't have a timeline.

But the community maybe can drop off water.

I plan on dropping off a couple cases of water.

That's what I was thinking.

Yeah.

Yeah, we could just do that until at least they have some water to drink because it's been some hot days and I can't

even

imagine Not being able to drink some water

Yeah, I mean

it's almost like we live in the third world country But sometimes the community got a pitch in and take more for the team.

So I'm gonna drop off a couple a couple cases of water I hope everybody will follow suit and y'all have a great day you

too I mean, that's a great.

That's a great thing.

But

where they

gonna go use the bathroom water right away comes

You know what?

I'm just saying they

got

one if they all drink they got one spot that they can go to I'm just saying

Bailey

keep it

real order in the studio.

Come on now.

Am I lying?

No lies detected.

Thank you very much.

Got some multi-truth talk text like 833-212-1017.

Leroy says sounds like a job for me.

Crowley time for him.

I don't know about that.

Okay, anyway.

Miss sassy said I'm with Bailey.

What you gonna do?

No.

But yeah, I was definitely thinking about the water situation, like, um, and how the community.

Yeah, you know, absolutely.

Listen, and here, here's the thing in my opinion about water.

Because of doing a lot of different large events where, you know, I make sure that I have a lot of water.

You know, it, even if they fix the problem, which I hope that it is a number one priority to fix it.

I just want to say this to those people who want to drop off water.

Don't feel like just because, oh, they say they water black on that you can't still drop it off.

Yeah.

Because.

Water, you know, you could have water stored in your apartment.

Yeah, you feel no sense.

So yeah, still take it.

Yeah,

still take it.

So they'll have some bottled water.

Yeah,

you know, and I don't know how quick I'm going to trust the water when it comes black on right away.

Right, you know, like if you haven't had water going through your pipes, you gotta let it run.

There you go.

You gotta let it run

for

a while to make sure that it gets right

and all the impurities back up in there.

Yeah.

So I would still encourage people to if you can just drop off a case of water whenever you can.

Yeah, you can drop off a few cases, drop off a few cases.

You can only drop off a half pack of 24, you know, 12 pack.

Just do it.

Yeah.

anything will help, at least for their their drinking.

Yes,

absolutely.

And

some may, and I don't care if they end up using it to pour in a dish.

Yeah.

So they can try to wash up.

Yeah.

You

feel what I'm saying?

Exactly.

You know, so I just know that, you know, every little bit, every bit at this time, every bit, just let these tenants know that.

Uh, we give a damn and we care.

Yeah.

And we're trying to help in the best way that we can.

And I don't care if they just put them down on the main floor where they, you know, whoever's the office manager at that building now.

Yeah.

Look, we just here to drop off water.

We ain't trying to.

you know, violate your security policy and then like that, we'll sit it all right here in this front hallway.

When you first come in the building, y'all can move it where y'all got to move it and just let all the tenants know that we do have water down here that they can come down and get or they can have one of their family members or their caretaker come down and just grab some water, grab some water.

So that that's that's something that we can do.

Again, but that's crazy.

Another crazy thing, Bailey.

Our children.

There was a woman that was arrested, a 22-year-old woman that was arrested in an infant death that is rude, suspicious.

And it says Milwaukee police are investigating the death of an infant on Monday, July 27th and have arrested a woman in connection to that death.

Uh, according to the Milwaukee police department, uh, the seven, not seven months old, seven month old infant was found unresponsive at about 11, 20 AM near 25th and Hadley.

Police say the cause of death is suspicious and it's under investigation.

and a 22 year old woman was arrested.

What?

What do we do?

Like, you know what I mean?

Like, I don't know if people are paying attention to the amount of deaths of our children that are infants and two years old and four and five years old.

It's a lot.

You it should be.

Not it should not become common that we keep hearing about these children.

that are dying at these young ages, some because the people, the mothers or the fathers of those children have drug paraphernalia or drug residue from fentanyl and all kind of other drugs.

And the baby bottles sometimes have.

They didn't wash it in the water or whatever the case, but there's always different things.

Cause I've read so many criminal complaints where it was the baby bottle and it had this in it

and it had that

in

it.

The child was playing on the counter or on a, uh, a table in the living room and there was residue from drugs that ended up killing the child.

Yes.

The child ingested it.

And when they done, uh,

The toxic report, you know, saw that the child had these drugs or alcohol in the

system.

What are we doing?

What are we doing?

You know what?

You could only try to talk to people.

You know?

You can have a child.

It doesn't make you a parent.

That part doesn't make you a mother.

It doesn't make you a father that part You know and people don't realize these young ladies when they have these babies They don't realize the responsibility especially when you having your child at such a young age They don't understand how it works and how you up all night for the first six months You know and and how you know, I realized being a single mom

There are many instances where I realized why it was better to be.

It was better.

It would have been better for me to be married to have a child.

I'm going to just say that.

That's my own experience.

Right.

You know, as far as.

The help side of it.

Right.

Right.

As far as in the middle of the night, if you're the only one getting up to take care of that baby,

you're

going to be up all night.

And you're going to be tired the next day.

And it just leads to another day and another day till that child sleeps through the night.

And it's rough if you don't have any help.

I'm just being real.

Yeah.

Real tough.

And so there's a lot of responsibility involved with that.

And these some of these young people, you know, back in the 90s or so 80s, latter 80s, there was this whole babies having babies thing.

Right.

There was a whole song about it.

Right.

Right.

And it was like a supposed epidemic,

right?

And because young ladies, a lot of times when they have these kids, don't get it.

You don't get it until you're involved with it and you don't have the support or whatever you need.

And then some people just flip out.

It doesn't mean that they never love their child or that kind of deal.

But what happens is, I mean, they're still young.

So they don't want to delve into the real responsibility of having a child or they don't understand what really needs to happen.

Right.

Right.

And so they, they come into these situations where, you know, they could have used another hand or more understanding of the responsibility of having a child and they, they.

You know people turn to different devices and it's just explodes all over the place It's just you know, and that's what we come upon situations similar that we've been discussing

on our truth talk texts in our YouTube page Jasmine Gooden great another great idea Said some adult bath wipes and some depends extra like $25 short-term solution, but it's something

And I absolutely agree with that.

And like I said, you know, I personally was like, OK, I'm going to go get some water.

But I'm making a commitment right now that on behalf of the Homer Blow Foundation Inc.

nonprofit 501 C3, I'm going to take three hundred dollars to go and get some bottled water.

That's

wonderful.

You know, some some bath wipes, some, you know, some wipes that they can have.

And yeah, so.

When I get off the air, I'm going to go and switch out vehicles and as much as I can kind of fit in the vehicle, I'm going to fit it in the vehicle.

And if I have to make a second trip, I'll make a second trip, but I'm going to commit $300 on behalf of the Humber Blow Foundation.

That's what I'm profit 501 C three to, you know, not only talk about it, but be about it.

Yeah.

You know, because there are people who just talk about it and then there are people who just do it.

Yeah, and that's what it is.

So

we're flipping back to the other topic.

Yeah, I just wanted to say that after reading her comment of saying that, you know, some don't even need some bath wipes, you know, you know what?

That's all those kind of that

is good because people can take a bath

right with the wipes.

Yeah.

And those they might need the pens, you know what I'm saying?

Uh huh.

Yeah.

So all those things.

So I just wanted to do that.

And, uh, Jasmine, uh, good West, thank you for that.

Suggestion because everything can help.

Yes.

All right.

What you got Bailey

off the truth talk text line eight three three two one two ten Seventeen Greg said also take them buckets of water out the house.

It's free or containers of water.

Mm-hmm Melissa Millison said when will we have the discussion about removal of these people?

I thought Bailey was just having that when she brought up elections and somebody said, what does elections have to do with it?

We got to get her to take care of some bills.

You talk about the people from the community that they do it right, like the young lady and the baby and all

that.

Oh, yeah, yeah, those people, yeah, they need to.

I'm not going to say it now, but it's my opinion.

I'll say it when we get black.

I got an island for

that.

I got an island.

It starts with the letter A. You're listening.

I'm just saying, because it's a lot of people that need to go there.

You know, it should be attended like some of the other huge amusement parks, but it won't be any rides and fun games.

You're listening to Truth in the Morning on the award winning one on one.

Seven of them.

The truth and the legendary home blow along with my girl

Bailey Coleman.

We got to take care of these bills and we'll be black.

Don't touch that dial.

Welcome Black Truth Nation to Truth in the Morning on the award-winning 101.7 FM The Truth.

Was that

too soft for you?

I'm talking about the music.

Was that too?

You didn't want to?

Okay.

I'm just checking.

You

okay?

Yeah.

I'm good, baby.

How are you?

I'm great.

You are still.

You are.

You are so still.

Y'all don't understand.

So Homer was supposed to read his thing.

We come back in he hears the music and he's like no you go ahead You do yours.

I'm like last second.

I'm like, oh Okay Ordered a studio, but it just is what it is What am I lying?

No, everything's clear

Okay, so there's a place called Annihilation.

I'm in that.

Oh, goodness.

Here we go.

Well, I said, you know, I was talking about it.

I mean, you,

you,

there's some people that they don't want to be right.

And oftentimes, if you look at the history of some of these situations, they're habitual.

And so if you just don't want to get it right, you know, and I get it.

There's a lot of stories

called prison,

not a violation.

Oh, violation.

I know you want to be

down with Xavier and y'all had the cage match.

No, no, no, hell, no, no, none of that.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

No, Annihilation Island ain't no remnants ain't no ain't no let's have a service ain't no service.

It's over.

They're out of here.

I'm just saying, uh, because you know, you can.

Yeah, I get

it.

Millicent.

That's what she's talking about.

The removal of these people.

Yeah, that's where I'm going.

That's why I said I

have a place.

It starts with a A. He was like, I'm like, no, not quite, but it is accountability because it's just like the.

the 33 year old woman.

Okay.

And she says she's a hero for shooting the 12 year old boy.

Hmm.

She the community love by the way,

who by the way, in case you didn't check out our update yesterday, cannot walk, has to go to physical therapy to be able to walk again.

Right.

So whatever she did.

She has injured him so bad that he can no longer walk.

Yeah.

And she has a just a history of being a violent and not a nice person.

And every all twenty two charges had habitual criminality repeater apply to it.

I mean, that's just

this particular.

Yeah, for just this one.

Now, so that meant that she's has this kind of record.

She had just got out of prison, prison, not jail.

Prison 11 days 11

days

And here she go

hmm and is out waiting on Another case to come up.

Mm-hmm, right another felony

another felony case Which anyway, so

my thing is you know, how much are we going?

You know, and that's the thing I know I used to have the numbers for it

But, um, maybe our producer Xavier can look it up for us.

How much do we pay per prisoner?

Like, like it's a huge amount of money.

Yeah.

It takes to house a prisoner.

Yeah.

And, you know, where you thinking that money is coming from?

It's coming from us.

Yeah.

And I'm like, let's become economical here.

Okay.

And if you, that's why I say if you love your loved ones, whether they're toys or us adults or just any other, it's one thing to make a mistake and I get it.

You can make a few mistakes.

Right.

But if they continue to graduate to next levels, I'm not with just saying, oh, you know, it's just, it's all a part of growing up.

You know, you're going to learn this, you're going to learn that.

you don't realize that it's like one of the scenes in Black to the Future with Michael J. Fox.

And the baby was in the baby peeing or whatever.

Yeah.

And he was like, get used to that because, you know what I'm saying?

You're going to be

in prison.

You're going to be in and out of prison a lot as you grow up.

Yeah.

And he was like, get used to that type thing.

So, you know.

My thing is, yes, do I believe that people deserve a second chance and sometimes even a third chance.

I get it.

But if you are escalating your criminal behavior and activity and yeah, I killed one person.

I didn't mean to.

You know, it's pretty tough to tell the family that when they saw a video of you.

murdering their loved one

right

with no sense of remorse

right

but now all of a sudden right you know I'm sorry to the family and is that

me I mean here's the

thing you sorry you got caught

exactly you know here's the thing for me was she gonna go in there and plead her case to the father they had to rush his child to the hospital because she decided she want to come out hunt him down and shoot him

No, she says so yeah, I don't hear no remorse in her voice

To think about I feel bad for that man.

I feel bad for the boy, too You know you gonna have to I mean think about how he was he that probably tore him up You know what I mean?

You got a rush you take your baby to the hospital your 12 year old child to the hospital cuz some fool Decided that it was important for them to come and shoot your child

over a water bottle situation of selling water bottles.

Really?

Are you 33 years old?

No, no.

Yeah.

No.

So that's why, that's why I say like, you know, isn't the goal to, if you made mistakes coming up, because you know, a lot of people talk about, you know, when I was coming up, you know, I did this and I'm happy that somebody believed in me and they didn't give up on me.

I guess.

Yeah.

So.

What should be your mission once you become?

Grown and you understood and you change your life around what should be part of your mission?

Yeah to make sure that others don't make the same mistakes that you made

pass it along

You feel no sense.

So if you were a mother that came up hard, we get it Mm-hmm.

We get it.

You've done some things that you're not proud of.

Yeah, but

I always say this and then the views and opinions of the legendary home up low and

Bailey Coleman

does not reflect that Milwaukee black media or civic media but are the sole comments of myself as well as Bailey Coleman.

But if you ended up feeling like you had to be a stripper or you know, you were in prostitution and then your daughter.

You have a daughter and you saying that you want to get through college and all this kind of stuff.

And then your daughter ends up being a prostitute or you failed.

Yeah, you failed because you said you were doing this to take care of your kids to support your kids.

Right.

So now if your kids take the same damn path, right?

You did it so they wouldn't have to do it, right?

Right.

So that sounds like an F. If you asked me, you failed.

Yeah.

If you ended up being a drug dealer and I'd be like, man, I'm just trying to make sure that I can make it where my kids ain't got to never worry about nothing.

But now your kids come up to me.

You failed in my opinion.

Yeah,

that's just my opinion.

No, that's true.

Yeah, we got to get ready.

Take care of some bills.

Tim, we see you on the prison situation on our true talk text lines, eight, three, three, two, one, two, 10, 17.

We got to take care of some bills and we'll be black.

Welcome Black to Truth in the Morning on the award-winning 1017 FM The Truth.

Bailey has so many things going on, but we got Tim who is holding over.

We're talking about, you know, some of the situations in prison.

But see how much it cost to house a prisoner.

I still want to try to get that number I don't know if they were able to pull it up.

I know Sherwin probably got 450,000 400 to 50 no or 40,000 40,000 to 50,000

per

per inmate.

Yeah That's that's that's a lot and that might be per day Wow Sounds

like they need to go to work and earn that money

No, that's a year.

That's a year.

Oh.

Think about how many prisoners we have.

They need to work while they're in there.

Some of

them do.

They do.

They're on the stock market.

They make a lot of the things that we wear and they get pennies on the on the cents.

I don't even say on the dollar.

They pay for their room and board.

Forget that.

Right.

That part.

All their money need to go right back into the till.

Yeah.

Yeah, we pay you one 10 or one 35 per day.

Wow,

Tim.

Great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

You hear the conversation.

What's your truth?

Yeah, how you guys doing?

Bless bless.

Great.

Great.

This is my first time calling you guys.

But anyway, yeah, I was a little concerned about that.

I heard him mentioned the number.

I think county jail and state prison.

I think even federal prisons are all different.

But if you're just talking county.

close to 200 per MA per day.

That's, I think, around close to 30, $20,000 a year, roughly something like that.

But

here's

my thing.

It's like we're paying for their food, their medical, which they get, and mental health care, housing and utilities, security, maintenance, and facility operation.

So they're getting more than your average citizen.

Crazy

regular day.

Yeah, that's crazy.

It

doesn't make sense.

So I know I'm paying a proportion of that.

I'm a I'm actually a school teacher.

So I know how much I'm putting out every year.

I think it's like 27% of our income from in Wisconsin.

I believe the state of Wisconsin.

That's ridiculous.

And so I'm like, why?

Why can't I get my 14 $15,000 that I need a year?

Well, I got to give it to

somebody

to live a lifestyle like this.

But

Yeah, that's my take and I appreciate you guys.

I'll listen.

Thank you for calling.

We

appreciate it.

First time caller.

I love it.

We got to have a thing when we have first time car.

The first time caller.

Absolutely.

Love it.

Thank

you so much.

We've had a lot.

We have had

a lot.

We

appreciate everybody's opinion.

Absolutely.

And

everybody that calls

in.

And again, like I say, agree or disagree, you know.

I believe that you have a right to let us know what's your truth.

Exactly.

As long as it doesn't go across our FCC guidelines.

You know what I'm saying?

We'll try and

ding you on that.

Right.

Al knows how that is, right?

That part.

But yeah, that's a lot.

Yeah, a lot of money.

Yeah, absolutely.

A lot of money.

You know, and it's some people that like, even as Tim was saying, like it's a lot of people.

that don't even make that like above the poverty line.

Right.

You talk about 40,000 a year.

I mean, they can even

if it's 32.

Yeah.

Hey, listen, they get in there, they get everything taken care of and they get three squares a day.

Yep.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner.

And

then, you know, they got a way that they can get like extra food.

They watch a little TV in there.

You know, like little snacks.

They be going Facebook live.

They be on Instagram.

They really do.

Do they?

Oh, wow.

There's some prisons where they be cooking fish and frying fish and chicken in the cell.

But they they got it.

They use them steel beds and they they got all they got the things.

You know what I'm saying?

And I just want to know like for the prisons that that happens in.

Uh-huh.

How do y'all not smell fried fish or fried chicken?

We smell They probably

be like yo, can you hook me up?

What can I get a plate?

Yep?

That's probably to pay off and it's crazy It's crazy.

But yeah, some of them in there They ain't even try to come home

They got it all set up.

They got the stores.

That's what they know.

They got the stores in

prison.

Yeah, they

do

We got

the

stores.

We're doing trades and all that kind of stuff.

It's crazy.

Yeah.

That's why they

watch TV.

They keep up on all the latest things.

Yeah, this is why I say mine would be because we talk about those that go to prison and there's no rehabilitation, right?

Right.

Like you ain't watching regular TV if I'm in charge.

All the TVs are going to have all the things that we're saying it's going to be educational.

You're going to be able to take classes just like you can for colleges online and schools online to where as you can earn your GED or your diploma, you can earn your certification and degrees and all of that.

Like all of the TVs are going to be there.

I know you sitting here watching bad boys for life and all that kind of stuff.

You ain't doing none of that.

They

got

iPads up in there, too.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

All

the

things.

Listen,

all the palatial resorts.

You would have the team move.

That's what the hell you get if I was.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

All right.

You ain't gonna have no iPad show.

You ain't going to even have a Samsung pad.

Okay.

You're gonna have that.

You have a T move one.

Yeah.

You can see the people moving.

You know, I'm talking about the one that looked like that.

What was it?

The LED crystals or whatnot?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Pong and stuff

like that.

Yeah, oh man.

Pong, you gonna have Pong up

in there?

Yeah, Pong.

They gonna have Pong tournaments.

That's it.

That's it.

That's about all you get.

But no, like, again, and I know they're human, but it's not, it shouldn't be like a luxury for them.

Right.

Because to me, that makes them say, oh, it ain't bad.

You know, they don't come out and talk about, man, you shouldn't go in there.

Right.

They do things like this 33 year old woman, uh, Coachella, uh, Burrell, like can't wait to get black.

Her, she's lived her life in prison more than she's been out.

That's true.

You don't understand.

So it's

like, she get a little taste of freedom.

Right.

And, and it's too much.

It was an overdose.

Shouldn't even make it two weeks.

You know, and, and they say that like about some people, uh, who.

Once they've killed someone

Mm-hmm

They said it's not difficult the next time So you have some people that are really stone cold killers out here?

Yeah, because they have people that they may have killed and have not had to go to jail for it.

Yeah Yeah,

and so it's it's easy for them.

It's easier for them where me or you would probably even if it was for our own protection

And it was, you know, self-defense.

We'd probably be the ones that they show throwing up and stuff like that.

Like, I can't believe I just did this.

I didn't want, you know, we'd probably be crying more than, you know, the family of the victim or whatnot.

Because it's like, I didn't want to have to do this.

I didn't want to have to do this.

But some people that are just about that life, when you look at some of these videos that show.

Some of the youth and some of the toys or us adults and just people in general how many times and the overkill that they're doing with Yeah, with some of these homicides you're like, uh Sis, you know like that that wasn't enough I mean you you already gave a kill shot to the head.

Yeah, but now you want to

Run black and then run black up and fire some more shots.

It is crazy Looking at some of these people and then when they get into a courtroom Mm-hmm.

I just want to say I'm sorry to the family It wasn't nothing sorry about what you did right and the way you did it, right?

So now I'm supposed to you know have mercy and I just wanted to say to the family and then your family After you done murdered and took somebody's loved one away your family want to fight

the family that will never get to see a person alive again.

Your family will have the chance to come visit you in prison while they have to go to a grave site.

They have to look at their mantle at a urn or wherever they keep the urn if they cremated the person.

That's not fair.

No way that you look at that.

There's nothing fair about that in my opinion and I've always felt that way.

I feel some kind of way about that.

Yeah,

you're right.

You know,

you're right.

Yeah.

So yeah, something's definitely got to change.

They got to change.

They got to change.

You know, let's see on our YouTube page.

My D said it's 90 to 100,000 a year to house death row inmates.

Wow.

Wow.

That's crazy.

Jasmine Jazz West said they be doing TikTok dances.

They do all of that Bailey.

Maybe I'm gonna send you some some videos

some prison videos.

Oh, yeah.

Oh Yeah, you know, I don't know what states stay in but wherever that

So oranges the new black is actually real.

Yeah Wow, you know, I do see I have seen some prison shows where you know, they're locked up I like lock up and stuff like that.

I used to watch that all the time

DeAndre out the True Talk text line at 833-212-1017 said, now we know the real cost of freedom.

Huh.

Okay.

We gotta get ready to take care of some bills.

You're listening to Truth in the Morning on the award-winning 101-7 FM, The Truth.

Did you see where it was some middle school students that were talking about, like, they want to... They need help.

Yeah, yeah, because...

They're going through some things.

Yeah, at home.

And they're looking for help from school.

And I find it very interesting that they know how to express that.

You know what I mean?

They're doing what they need to do to try to get help in their home.

That part.

So we got to get ready take care of these bills.

You're listening to truth in the morning on the award-winning 1017 if and the truth I'm the legendary home of blow along with my girl

Welcome black truth nation You know it's so many stories that we wanted to get to we got through a few of them but

this one.

Should we save this till tomorrow?

Because it sounds like this is.

Yeah, I guess I guess we should.

But it's about Milwaukee middle schoolers sound the alarm.

Help at school hurt inside.

And you know, one of the things that I recognize about this, it's something that I also talk about a lot.

Yeah.

Whereas you got teachers.

that can't even teach because they have to try to be a counselor.

They have to try to be a friend.

They have to try to be, you know what I mean?

So it's like when you have so many children and youth that are going through things, you know, I know so many teachers that for some kids, they bring socks, they bring hats and gloves and stuff like that to school.

And even under clothes.

Yeah,

because a lot of the students don't have and you know that that's something and and not that they're supposed to but some of them have you know Shared with me that they give them gift cards so they can get something to eat from certain fast food restaurants Because

that may be the only meal they have that day.

Yep.

I say that even with my party every year You think about that when I say that I said some of those children.

That's why we don't mind

Yeah, eat.

We got it.

Yeah, go ahead.

Come you need some more.

Yeah, get in line.

Come on.

Get some more.

It's OK.

It's OK because you just don't know everybody's situation.

Yeah, absolutely.

And so if they can end up taking some and maybe saving it, you know, for them to try to eat later or take to some of their family.

Yeah,

absolutely.

Yeah, it's a lot of in this story.

It really breaks down a lot of those students and how they're

feeling and what they're dealing with and how teachers are, they're confident in so many situations.

But like I say, it takes away from the teacher just being able to focus on teaching.

Yes.

Because they don't want, if they're already talking about, they don't have it at home or they don't have enough of it.

You don't want to end up being the one to say, well, you ain't going to get it from me.

Right, so

yeah, it's

a very deep story with a lot of Interesting statistics that I think that some people will be surprised.

So we're gonna we're gonna hit on that

Yeah tomorrow because it's a

lot.

Yeah,

it's a lot and we really need to peel back the layers on that

right and what can we do?

Yeah, I'm saying what can we do?

It

definitely deserves our time and our attention because you know

Our kids are just our future.

Our kids are right now.

Yeah.

They are.

And if we don't take the time to look out for them and take care of them now, we're going to end up with more chaos than we have right now.

And we all know it's crazy, right?

So sometimes these kids only need one person to just step in and say, it's going to be all right.

And let them you know because a lot of these kids, you know either they're gonna it's like In these particular situations, it's either one extreme or another They focus so much and do the best that they can do and open up a door for themselves to be successful Or they go the opposite direction, right?

You know and so it's key and it's important that you know, we try to reach you know them

each one of them any way we can at that crucial moment.

Right.

And so these middle school students are really reaching out and it's important that we pay attention.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

And it goes to show you that unfortunately is some PWK's.

Yeah.

And even some of the students are recognizing it.

Uh huh.

So that should be a great conversation on tomorrow morning.

And.

Truth Nation, we definitely love to have you involved because it's going to take a collective, you know what I'm saying?

A collective effort to figure out some of these things and what the solutions may be.

Right.

As it relates to them because I got mine.

You know, I got my ideas of some solutions, but it's not just about me.

Right.

You know, it's about all of us

and

I can only do one part.

It's just like

you could only do your part.

Right.

You could only save, as I used to tell my staff, you could only save your corner right here.

It's you.

It's your corner right here on, you know, water and whatever, wherever you live or whatever.

That's the part that you could do.

Now, if everybody gets on their corner and they save their little group right here.

They you good, then we'll have some success.

Yep.

And the key thing is groups, because, you know, people be like, if I say just one person, we losing too many.

You feel what I'm saying?

One just isn't enough for me to just boast on.

You know, one is just not enough because for every one, if you're losing 20, that's not good odds.

That's not good odds.

So we have to look and work better on that.

And I survived without sending the videos.

from Casablanca and Rebel.

We're gonna

have to do that tomorrow too.

We're gonna have to do it tomorrow.

I'm gonna send you some of the videos

First thing you see coming out sometimes is yeah, and it's a lot of women and this is why it's really bad because you got to think some of those women have children and Besides leaning out for a father who may be or sometimes may not be there Who's the person that they own my mama my mama my mama, so if your mama is own Facebook Instagram tiktok

But that, right?

Unless they have another, we'll have to pray they have another positive influence.

Some place in their life.

Oh, see, they are kicked out of their lives.

Like, you'll tell my son or daughter what to do.

Yeah, that part.
