They're pretty tired.
Coming from I can understand what he's saying coming from the bridesmaid standpoint.

Hmm.

Dr. Clarissa Lawrence said, I need a videographer for my upcoming event.
Well, he said, you know, it's not going to be in the hood as you may think of it Xavier.
I didn't even say anything.
I know you didn't, but the look on your face.
That is funny.
But right now you fit the part, though.
You can go in the hood and do all kind
of video
can.
Don't you see all the videos
we send you?
Clients will be looking at me like I'm crazy.
Don't you see all the video clips we had to send you?
Oh, yeah.
I got a couple of them.
Yeah, send me this morning.
Oh.
I was going to go there.
But yeah, the Asian Street
And then I'm not going to say anything else.
We're just going to go into the clip and then we'll we'll talk about it.
But we also got to talk about the traumatic fire that took place.
on Capitol 25th and Capitol 25th, 26th and Capitol over 50 people were displaced.
But in my opinion, that building has kind of been a troubled building.
And it wasn't in the greatest shape, in my opinion.
You know, yeah.
We'll be black.
Truth in the Morning returns after this 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 1017 The Truth.
The Truth app and streaming live on 1017 The Truth on YouTube.
Troop, good morning.
We're inside the American Family Insurance Studio in the heart of downtown at the avenue.
There was a lot going on through the weekend and I just want to say before even seeing that in the chat, it was already on our list of things to talk about with the amount of people displaced because I was saying what I was saying in that.
Yeah, I saw that part.
But yeah.
But yeah, that that was a tragedy in itself.
About 50 people were displaced after an apartment fire Saturday night in Milwaukee.
Milwaukee fire officials confirmed to 12 news.
They responded to the building near 26th Street and Capitol Drive and found fire in the first floor apartment.
Officials said the fire was extinguished and there were no injuries, but dozens of people living in the building.
have been displaced.
A 12 news photojournalists on scene overnight captured at least one first floor window at the building boarded up.
The cause of the fire and cost of damage is under investigation.
But yeah, they was like the first floor, though.
Yeah, I mean, it was the flames were shooting out of those out of the windows.
Like it looked like a whole fireball, like just.
And you know, we we talk about, you know, fire safety and awareness.
Right.
One of the reasons why I say that I always try to have the MFD Mobile Survivor Live House at the Children's Party.
A fire engine.
So, you know what I mean?
They see them and hear them going through the community all the time, but a chance to kind of like get up close and personal and be able to ask some questions.
Yeah.
And let the firefighters.
Be able to give them tips and make yeah, I
Because people are not sure if their children are out, their pets, their seasoned citizens of mother or fathers.
I know I got to go black in there.
Yeah.
And but again, that that's that's the biggest rule that you are not supposed to go black.
You don't have any flame retarded, you know, clothing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The hallway is on fire that leads you to downstairs to try to get out.
What's your action plan?
What do you do?
What's your plan now?
How do you get out?
Because fires are usually unsuspecting and it can just catch you and sometimes so much smoke.
And a lot of people, like when you hear about house fires and I've learned this over the decades because of knowing a lot of firefighters and
Um, it's smoke inhalation.
Like when a lot of people hear that somebody died in a fire, uh, they, you know, it's not that they were burnt.
You know what I'm saying?
It's that smoke.
It's so many chemicals inside of that thick plume of smoke that you just can't breathe.
And it's, if you're inhaling it, it's like, as if you worked at a factory all your life and got what they call a black lung because it, you know, it.
You
And so for that, you know, that's how most people, even when some of the firefighters, because some of these flames and fires, you know, it's so much that even with their protective gear on, it can still overwhelm them to where they're brought out and taken to be treated because they.
got smoke inhalation.
So now you talking about people that got all the gear, you feel what I'm saying?
And sometimes the smoke in some of these fires can still be overwhelming to even the firefighters where you may see a fall black, pull out, pull out structural damage.
Nope.
The floor looked like it's going to cave the ceiling about the cave.
So even they have to be, they know that we don't, we don't know what the floor is about.
fall out from up under us.
We don't
People are not, uh, checking the door to see about the heat and all of that.
They not doing it.
They not doing it.
And a lot of people are dying because of it.
Uh, but then you got to always think about those that are displaced.
Like we're talking about with this situation, uh, close to 50 people have not more have been displaced
Well, you know, maybe some of these organizations that we have out here can help them get fine housing and other places to live, at least while they're free.
Doing whatever they're doing.
I mean Because you know sometimes it can be a total loss to the families as well So talking about having to start over from scratch that can be very difficult as well But in the immediate time, I mean make the plan wherever you live right now Make the plan and just talk about it with your family.
Hey if something like this happens climb out the window
If something like this happens,
let's
And, uh, and even when speaking about climbing out the window, uh, what do you have in your home that is in case of, right?
So if a window has to be broken,
to get out.
You ain't, you know, you panicked so much, you ain't got time.
You know, do you have something to make sure that you can get the biggest shards of the glass?
after you break the window, because you don't want to kill yourself by hitting a jugular vein.
You give them saying a main artery, trying to climb out the window because it's all of these jagged edges and shards of glass.
So it's like you, you really have to think about this.
And I'm telling you, Billy,
Yeah.
Because again, because what it does and I and I say this because I've heard a lot of parents speak.
to me about it, and even some PWKs, be like, my son or my daughter learned so much going through the mobile survivor live house stuff that I forgot.
And it's like, good, good, because that's what I needed to do.
I needed to nudge you.
I need you to be able to say, how was it?
You know, because some people may have went to the the actual, you know, Survival Live House, but hell, it's been so long.
Right.
Do you even remember all of the things that you learned then?
Right.
You feel what I'm saying?
So it's a good thing to be able to go over there to the when you when you see the MFD Mobile Survival Live House, go over there, talk to the firefighters.
When you see a fire engine, you know, they got pamphlets, they got all kind of stuff that kind of lets you know.
Things that you need to know and do in case of yeah, we don't want to have to have a fire But in case of
call it
and what that means is like oftentimes like I guarantee you unfortunately those 50 people or close to 50 people that were displaced They came out with just whatever they had on a black.
Mm-hmm.
That's it Mm-hmm, you know if they came out with no shoes, they didn't have no shoes Yeah, and they don't have whatever they probably had is still inside the building.
Mm-hmm.
So my thing is
you can either have a friend or if you have to get a storage bin then do that.
But create some of those big old plastic bins that we got.
Do one for the adults in the house, one for the children or a child that's in the house with some shoes, some underclothes, some...
pans, some just so you have some other clothing, you know, just all of the little things and especially for your children, things that you know that are precious to them.
Right.
Make sure you have that and just store it somewhere other than inside your house.
Right.
Because you just don't know.
You hope you don't have to use it.
Right.
And during the seasons, change the clothes out.
Be like, OK, it's fall now.
So ain't nothing to happen.
But in case OK, it's winter.
OK, let's make it winter clothes.
Let's make it coats and hats and gloves.
You know what I mean?
Just just so you have the things to where as you don't have to say, I don't have anything.
I don't have anything.
Fire safe should be safe.
I saw somebody on our YouTube page talking about they have, you know, and I do the same thing as it relates to that level as well.
But we just got to think about some of these things because there's so many people, unfortunately, that can tell you how devastated they've been because they've lost everything, everything in a
Yeah.
So it's smart to do.
You feel what I'm saying?
It's a good thing to do.
So yeah, you lose most of your prize possession, but even some of your momentos that you know, you just don't want to see anything happen to, you know, some people that have stuff stored in the basement when the floods came, they lost it all because they didn't have it in plastic bins.
You know, so just a word of home of low advice to just try to, you know, really think about that.
Do you have all the information?
Do you have their bank account information?
Do you have their passwords to all of the things so you want you already dealing with the fact that you lost your loved one?
But now you don't know what to do.
You don't know where they're.
I know they got insurance.
You don't know where a policy is.
You don't.
You get what I'm saying?
You just don't know the thing.
You don't know if they got a wheel.
If they got, you know, you don't know it's you need to know these things.
And I know it's time to take care of some bills, but I've always just been passionate about, you know, trying to make people aware of some things that they should be thinking about if you not and not only think about them, put them in the motion.
like there's some incoming racism.
You gonna learn today.
You're listening to Truth in the Morning.
We'll be black.
Everybody was
Yeah.
But yeah, no.
Listen, we had they they should have banned David Carradine and all of that.
You go to sand.
when you can stash the pebble from my hand, it'll be time for you to go.
I'm just saying, there's a lot of things that would need to be banned.
They did pick on Pepe Le Pew, though, the cartoon.
But yeah, this was the age.
Pepe Le Pew.
Yeah, Le Pew.
You got to put the fringe to it.
Le.
You know, like Le Miserable.
Yeah, you got to put the Le in front of it.
You're gonna put the lay in front of it
just saying when they said it when the markets performing arts center said this was coming up So I'm following that I was following that but yeah, no with this situation.
It was the Asian Street food night market or you know, that was going on down at the lakefront and there was a squirmish a fight and
I guess one of the different things about it is everybody there didn't necessarily jump in.
It appeared to be focused on those three to four individuals.
They were like, what's going on?
But again, so I get it.
A lot of us are like, see?
See, we don't get to say see yet until we see a bunch.
of that happening just all the time.
Oh yeah.
Every time something is going on.
They also weren't mobbing.
Yeah.
Four to five.
Yeah.
You know, four to five.
Yeah, four to five individuals that appeared to be.
into it, and a woman was trying to seem like she was trying to pull her man or at least break it up to one degree, but everybody else was still walking around.
Everybody else was still walking around, looking at things
some that
this
I'll be, you know, playing the music on Burlai by the COA Center.
But there, I've seen some things happening at some of the book bag event giveaways.
that has now made me want to rethink doing my pop-up because I was gonna you know I usually do a pop-up one right right and you know probably you know a couple hundred book bags you know maybe 300 but you know at least a couple of hundred book bags but I'm now trying to rethink because of what I saw at a what was a beautiful event but again the PWK's
The people with kids biological mothers and fathers, but they are not parenting They bringing the kids out looking like you know what they used to say who done it What did it and all of that all the things and just you know They they got they sells kept but they kids are looking like who's caring for these children
Have they had a bath?
Have they, you know, did you wash their face?
Did you, you know, did you make them presentable to come out?
Some of these PWKs will make sure that they're presentable and in what can still be considered a raunchy or a ratchet way, in my opinion.
But the children like, no, it's like, come on.
And then hearing how they cuss at them and yank them by the arms and all of this.
And then they fussing at the people who are out here giving you all this stuff free.
You know, you're free.
They were given away at this one event.
It's.
It pains me to, you know, even I'm contemplating now, even though I sent the video to Xavier, our producer to play if I want to play it, you know.
Well, you put it on.
Let's see it.
Let's go.
No, we we we.
We put it in.
I mean, they probably seen it on social media because it's.
major trending on social media.
But there was a big bag giveaway that happened on Fond du Lac.
Mm hmm.
to everyone who came out and supported Truth Family Fest 2026.
Special thanks to Educators Credit Union, American Family Insurance, Milwaukee Public Schools, Artists Working in Education, City of Milwaukee, DCWS, AV Core Core, Ascension, and Tap-In MKE for helping make this event possible.

So shout out to that.
I'm trying to send this screenshot of this video clip that you are about to see after the clip plays.
So Xavier, I'm going to text you the photo that I screenshot it.
So that way you can play it.
You can show it as I'm talking about because once you hear it and I'm near a
And
they'll
Like, for example, if you're coming to the end of the line and the child in front of you, in front of your child, got the last computer, if you're nice, sometimes, the lady that's standing there or whoever's passing them out might go,
Hey, you know what?
Hold on one second.
Right.
We got one more in the back.
Now,
Yeah, because
You know, from what I'm hearing, it was happening, you know, up there.
Okay.
All right.
So you do that hookup for them.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
Hurry up and go to the car.
Yeah.
They, some of those people, they, hey, they still got some, they just gave me one.
Be like, if you don't, if you don't go have several damn seats, if you don't go have several damn seats, that lady right there said, y'all still got some.
No, we don't.
We out.
Nah, she showed us hers.
I'd be like, you know what?
You know what?
And so sometimes, you know, you just have to let it be gone and they gone.
store or
No, this is free.
Yeah.
and with your hairstyle, you could have bought your damn son and daughter some book bags.
You don't even need to be here at this book bag giveaway.
Look at the way that your nails is done.
You dance show nurse shouldn't be out here taking advantage of something that some other people in the community really could use.
You look like you could afford to buy some book bags.
For all your kids and your nieces and nephews.
So what the hell are you doing out here taking away from some other people that really need it?
Oh, I'm just saying I'm just saying
I ain't saying it's nothing wrong with getting it, but if you ain't handled your business, and that's why I brought that up, they gonna make sure that they got they all white, all red, all purple, all yellow.
They gonna make sure that they good.
They gonna order their shoes, and they gonna do this, and they gonna do that.
Get their face beat with the makeup artists and all of that kind of stuff.
Yeah.
But your kid walking around here with sleep in the eye, uh, got all kind of stuff.
But now you want to come to where it's, you know, and, and listen, Paley, I've seen these people.
I still got some more book bag giveaways that I'll be at.
I guarantee you they're going to be at each one because they've been.
It's been a role of watching them at the others.
Like, why are you here to get book bags again?
Again.
Yeah.
With your kids again.
It's, it's, you know, the lack of respect for people who are just giving and caring people is just to a ridiculous high.
And, you know, there are people who are now looking for a place to stay.
and you just being vain about everything else.
These people don't know what's next with their life.
And you out here taking advantage of other people, they may have children that need some of them book
If you just heard over blows rant And you know what I'm talking about I'm just saying about some people that you know you trying your best to serve your community But you want to serve as many as you can but we have some people who are just so selfish
and feeling so entitled that they just come and take away from, like, it's 70 to 100 other families that could have gotten book bags, but you had every damn book bag giveaway.
And that's the truth.
I'm just saying, you know...
Yeah, you can create database that they they that was my sister.
I got a twin and not now you arguing with if they got a twin and all of this kind of stuff.
Oh, I what I didn't go to.
I was not.
We find ways around them near everything that comes up.
So I know we have to take care of some bill.
But
Get the
care of some bills.
I'm frustrated.
We'll be black.
