Okay.

I did.

Yeah.

Uh, Barbara said.

You know, I am not sure this question keeps coming up about these phones.

We had the beeper problem and I am late for work.

He said something about that job.

I just pray that your

employer is not also listening.

Watching the YouTube

Alfonzo Dupre said you want your kids to have phones keep them home

Unfortunately, some are

yeah Well

because it leads to the problems that we're having with the tardiness with the absentee and all of that kind of stuff Yeah, so some of them are and some of them are and the child wants to be at school

Yeah,

and that's a sad reality that we have to face as well.

So, you know

I truly hope that the PW case, people with kids.

Not

them.

No, I'm saying

that they them.

I don't want to talk about them this morning.

They've been making too many command appearances on our show.

Listen,

a PW case.

I'm trying

to get them

into

parenting schools.

Listen.

I'm classes.

I'm trying to

get them to parent

because we need those children too.

First of all, who go to meet their PWK?

Who goes to know who's going to meet their PWK?

Oh, they do it all the time.

All you got to do is watch social media.

Yeah.

What do they say?

Oh,

words that would have us banned from the radio.

We'd be banned if I if I.

I could play you.

I mean,

I could play a symphony.

Oh, yeah.

They

literally say it, but don't use the

when they when they come home for prison.

Welcome home.

They don't use the acronyms, but their actions show you and they tell you they don't care about you.

They don't care

what you say about them.

Yeah.

And don't

say nothing to my kid.

What are some of the signs of a PWK?

Without them admitting it, what is what's the sign?

Proms on a budget that you can't afford.

What else?

Oh, that's that that shows it right there.

But there's so many different behaviors.

You are smoking weed or blunts with your kids.

You're telling your children to make sure they bring you some perks or Zans home when they come in.

Don't be out there all night and if you do you better make sure you bring me this They got a fishbowl full of key fobs and their son and daughter doesn't even have a license neither do they Yeah,

you understand what

I'm saying They want to sit and argue with some Organization or some community people or teachers about things that are meant to try to help them and try to get them on the right track And he'd be like you can't tell me nothing.

He's mine

And then now they make the call to the BD as they call it baby daddy and tell them.

You just they just made eight posts on social media

talking

about how he's dead.

Be he ain't there.

You ain't came to see your son.

You ain't came to see your daughter.

But now when she wants him to shoot somebody or kill somebody, I'm getting a call on baby daddy.

And here you come.

The person that she said just minutes ago.

Ain't nothing on social media.

I can't stand him.

You know, all of that.

But now here he comes locked and loaded.

Yeah, all signs of PWK is when some people in the community are just trying to look out for your son or daughter as if they're their son or daughter because it should be a community effort in trying to make sure that our children don't have to grow up in these violent situations.

Don't have to.

Try to be in the street across the street and somebody to get wheels that are 24 inches high or 30 inches high off the ground and they bump in a system so they can't see the child that's trying to cross the street or running and darting across the street as it used to be said and neighbor

that is trying to be a neighbor says, Hey, hey, hey, hey, get out.

They trying to get the guy's attention or the girl, whoever's driving the vehicle.

Okay.

And then they're trying to end up getting that person, uh, grabbing the child or if they got to run out there and grab the child, they grab the child, get the child to safety on the sidewalk, outcome, some PWKs, get your damn hand off my daughter.

You're like, uh, ma'am, uh,

It was a car coming down the street.

The guy wasn't paying attention.

He was bumping his music, bobbing his head.

She was bumping her music, bobbing her head.

Didn't see your son, your daughter, and I was yelling at him.

He wasn't stopping.

I ran from my porch or I ran out of my yard and I grabbed your daughter.

I grabbed your son and pulled him to the sidewalk.

for safety.

Well, they should be

saying thank you.

Yeah, so you should be saying thank you very

much.

But what they do and it's shouting out get your hands off my

or they get ready to go inside and come back

out with something.

Barber 2028 says PWK is closed down Water Street Brady and they're about to shut down the third one.

Aaron said PWK selling drugs around their kids stealing your kids fighting in front of your kids, et cetera, et cetera.

Let's see.

PWK's have trouble reading anything, including simple signs.

Laurent Taylor says PWK is always talking about it takes a village because they don't want to do the work themselves.

All right, Aaron is here and said, what up?

Oh, OK.

PWK.

PWK selling drugs around their kids, stealing

with your

kids, fighting in

front of your kids,

et cetera, et cetera.

Yeah.

Two to two reason.

We want to say PWK have trouble reading anything.

Simple.

OK, that's where you came in.

My D said facts, facts, facts on real

PWK's future that PWK's throw things out their car windows at the red light.

Oh, I see that before.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Then people with kids.

Yeah.

Then my own people with kids,

you know, but I said I'm riding on 14 inch wheels.

I can see an ant on the ground while I'm driving.

There

you go.

But again, with these sound systems and all of that, they're not being attentive as they need to be.

Now let's add in the reckless drivers.

And you've got toys or us adults

that

are heavily involved in that as well.

It's not just the teens and some of these children.

It's

so sad when you end up.

hearing about some of these high speed chases

or

pursuits and or just seeing reckless driving and it's 10 year olds and 12 and 13 year

old behind the wheel.

Yeah.

You're going on saying and instead of, you know, having to wait for somebody else to check or chastise their children.

Yeah.

They act like law enforcement was wrong.

Right.

Well, I'll tell you what.

Well, we'll talk about it when we come back from the break because I got a whole feeling you know We were talking earlier about the whole you know water street thing.

Mm-hmm.

I Feel a certain type of way about that.

Mm-hmm now We need our kids that are in school today.

We need to Set a precedent they need to understand it by the time they get to the age of some of these young people that are hanging out.

Mm-hmm that they can't do all that

Right.

And if we don't start there,

it's

going to be all

wrong.

Right.

And I've got a great example coming up of what some of you PWKs need to really understand how important this facility is.

So, you know, you can turn them from the FDKs.

FDKs.

What's an FDK?

I cannot say it.

You can't say it on the air.

Bailey, no, I can't.

Come on now.

We'll come back to the truth calling in lines at 833-212-1017.

No, I cannot.

But someone who is very concerned or some people who are very concerned about our children who are scholars and that's what we need to be able to instill in them.

I'll talk about

them.

They ain't scholars right now.

They can't breathe.

You just destroyed

my

lab.

I just tried.

They can't not breathe.

They said they can't breathe.

It

ain't me.

I tried to give you all the signs.

What?

But it's okay.

We got to take care of some bills, baby.

I'll be in good today.

We got to take care of some bills.

I threw the perfect lob and I can't they can't read.

Whoo.

And you just want to lay it up and

they can't read.

They can't read.

It said we got an air ball.

OK.

You're listening to the.

One on one seven.

I'm the truth.

I'm the legendary home workflow along with my girl

Bailey Coleman

and

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

Preparance choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions you will make

At Milwaukee College Prep, we don't take that responsibility lightly.

Here, your child is more than a student.

They're a young person we get to know by name, by strengths, and by the areas where they need the most support.

Together, as a family and school, we work every day to help them grow, learn, and build the confidence to reach their full potential.

We partner closely with families, provide steady support, and act early when challenges arise so every child can thrive.

Your child's growth, well-being, and success are at the heart of everything we do.

We would love to meet you and your child in person to share more about how we work together.

Don't wait.

Limited seats are available.

Apply today at MilwaukeeCollegePrep.com or call 414-264-6000.

Now there, you know, we can get some of that structured black, in my opinion, Bailey.

Milwaukee College Prep has definitely proven itself with the scholars that they have.

And if you don't have, you know, the guidance, they just told you all of the things that they do.

to make sure that your child is the scholar that they are and that they have the help in whatever areas that they may need.

So that that's where I was, you know, going before the break.

So, yep, Milwaukee College prep.

Welcome back to Truth in the Morning on the award-winning 1017 FM The Truth and the legendary Homer blow along with my girl, Bailey Coleman.

All right.

So you're talking about some of the differences.

Willie Henning has been, you know,

Cracking up because unfortunately in my opinion, it's the truth Yeah You know, you know you you got to read it because it's the truth and it's they took the time to put it on our YouTube page Willie Henning said PWK's kids have three book bags each

Wow really

I've

seen him in all the bookbag giveaways.

Uh huh.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They sure do.

Some of them have five and more.

Wow.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We're gonna.

He's not lying.

I said I know you like no.

He's not.

But

Tracy is on our truth call in lines.

eight, three, three, two, one, two, ten, seventeen.

We're talking about our scholars and try to make sure that we get our children on the right track.

Right.

Even if they may not have a home environment that is conducive to them being the success that we know that they have a chance to

achieve.

Right.

So Tracy, great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

You hear the conversation.

What's your truth?

Good morning.

Thanks for taking my call.

Absolutely.

I'm just going to give you an experience.

This is short story.

I was on vacation for like 365 days.

Okay.

A

lot of a lot of young people was on vacation with I got you.

I got

you.

So, um, you know, I'm trying to school them on different things, you know, and one day I asked the brothers there what time it is.

I didn't have my contact so I couldn't see the clock.

This guy had to be at Leeds.

Leeds 2021, somewhere up in there.

This brother had to go to the computer to look at the digital time because he didn't know how to tell time on a clock.

So we do not need phones in school like Bailey

said.

They can't read.

What?

He knew how to use the tablet, though.

He knew how to get on there and do the video calls and all of that, but he could not read a phase clock, which makes me wonder, how did he even get past, you know, kindergarten to whatever grade he made until they just keep passing without these skills.

I remember in kindergarten, we had to make a clock.

out of

paper and we went home and that's how we learn how to tell time.

I'm trying to figure out what to be the youth these days miss.

Well,

what happened?

The school itself or well, we started learning how to tell time at home.

So

yeah, but let me let me let me say this to interject.

But I think that some of the ones that you were talking about, they absolutely, in my opinion, should have known the analog clock.

But

You gotta remember, we are in generations that have come behind us and all some of them know are digital clocks.

Yeah.

They don't they haven't

even

kindergarten though.

They make you make a clock even nowadays.

Oh, I don't I don't know.

I didn't know that they still

done that because a lot of a lot of teachings have in my opinion have adapted to the new times and the new generations that we are in.

That's why there's so many laptops that are given out.

You know, we had to do that.

I just we had

we had.

I get it.

I kind of blew my mind.

I just kind of made me wonder like.

because I was so used to looking at a regular clock.

You know what I mean?

Right.

5, 10, 15.

That's 15 after.

Right, right,

right.

That

just didn't really blew my mind.

Something simple is that.

That just let me know something's going on funny in these schools.

Listen, listen,

bruh.

Thank you

for your call.

But listen, bruh, even in that sense, bruh, if you think about these restaurants.

that our youth are working at.

If that cash register

or point of

sales didn't tell them exactly how much to give you, they wouldn't know.

They wouldn't be able to sit and be like, okay, it was seven this and your change should be that if they didn't have that digital readout, in my opinion,

they

wouldn't know how to give you your change.

Not at all.

Because I've seen some even with the digital readouts.

standing here like they confused like How much?

Yeah, you don't

know

saying yeah,

and it's it's a sad reality It is a sad reality Locked and lovely say a caller not only did they stop teaching cursive in schools.

They stopped teaching how to read analog clocks

Yeah, they they dig because they said everything's going digital, but they need to know how to do the analog clocks, you know,

right?

I

mean

What are you gonna do when you get a regular clock?

Yep, and it doesn't say 823.

What is that?

Yeah, and does you have to wonder?

Does that time really did it doesn't really click in

right

to you know, that's what time it is and this is what okay, so here's how I need to plan my day those types of

things.

Mm-hmm.

I mean, you know it kind of

becomes ingrained in you when you got to read an analog clock.

Yeah.

But, but you know, but that's where Tracy, in my opinion, is right.

And probably a lot of us, like as the parent, right, you should have.

You get what I'm saying?

Because we got to realize that there are cyber attacks all the time.

Yes, there are.

And that analog clock is probably still going to be working.

So.

So you can't see anything digital because all of that has been shut down.

Yeah,

you just not going to know.

Yeah, well,

it's crazy.

They are.

The good news is they are saying that they're now reinstating, you know, teaching people how to write in cursive.

Now, my son's generation or his class was the first one that they didn't teach it to.

So.

I actually, so that means that there's like 20 years worth of people that don't know how to sign their name.

I taught my son how to do it.

Yeah.

Because I was like, nah, you gotta sign your name to too many things.

What are you supposed to do?

Just put an X there?

Right.

That's like back in the 1800s.

Now they have

digital signatures.

Yeah,

exactly.

You know what I mean?

Which to me is very scary.

Yeah, because yeah

for somebody to sign your check or sign something for you now, right and just sign it digitally Yeah, and it wasn't you and you

know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Ain't no how are they gonna compare like I remember when they would Be able to compare the signatures.

Yeah

handwriting and

you can't do that now.

You can't do

that

anymore You sign it in cursive.

Yeah on a computer.

Yeah

And that's it's going to look that way everywhere.

Yeah.

And for somebody to just spell out your name knowing if

they know

your name, spell it out and click it like it's your real signature.

Yeah, they're going to accept the document.

There you go.

Before we we got to get ready, take care of some bills.

I wanted to read a few and then go to Millison when we return

from our bills.

But on our YouTube page.

Lauren Taylor said this kid at work got a thirty six on his ACT, which is one point away from a perfect score, but could not count change black without entering it into the register.

Wow.

You know, yeah, we got to we got to talk about this some more and we're going to go to Millison when we return.

You're listening to the award winning truth one on one seven FM.

We're inside the American Family Insurance Studio in the heart of downtown.

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 1017 the truth the truth app and streaming live on 1017 the truth on YouTube

Truth in the morning.

I'm the legendary home blow along with a girl Bailey Coleman talking about trying to make sure that our children are being successful school year and things that need to be done to make sure that that happens.

If you can't handle it at home, don't stop being afraid to acknowledge that you have a literacy problem.

Right.

Don't be afraid because there are people that have classes.

that have nonprofits that are trying to help people in those areas in which they may not be strong.

Yeah.

But you got to stop trying to let your pride and ego get in the way of going and utilizing those services.

Yeah.

Because other than that, you know, like it's like some people that because they make it a lot of money doing something illegal.

And they feel like I don't got to know how to read.

I don't have to know how to do this.

I don't have to know how whatever, whatever you do.

Yeah, you feel the same.

You need to know.

So and most of those people that's going around flexing all this money.

Every time I read their C cap and criminal complaints, they're indigent.

They don't have money to get a lawyer.

They need a public pretender or defender.

You feel understand?

Mm-hmm.

They had to get that because now listen, but now you was out here, Boston, you was always in the bottle section, you was always doing this, you was always tossing money and this that and the other, but now that same person,

you were wearing the

finest clothes and driving the best cars and all of that, you're doing all that.

Paying 80% to 90% over retail price for a bottle of liquor.

Just to show that you balling you to pay $400 for a bottle.

Shout out to everybody likes to pay their bills.

How about that?

We're gonna go to Millicent.

Thank you for holding on through the break.

Great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

What's your

truth?

Good morning.

Good morning.

I don't like paying my bills, but I do like to pay them.

You know what I mean, girl.

None of us really like to pay them.

But we do.

It's

important.

It's a necessity.

Yes, it is.

Like car insurance.

Yes.

For this, I'm going to say this.

But there are some things that MPS doesn't do.

They don't teach them how to rule the clock.

They don't teach them how to write cursive.

But I got a secret for y'all that I need y'all to understand.

Your mom and daddy can teach you that, too.

Yeah?

Yeah?

That's what I said.

I told my son had a right

cursive.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So we have to stop blaming the school for what they don't teach.

I'm gonna tell you something that the school does.

They have to feed your kids.

They have to give your kids counseling from the stuff that you've done to them at the house.

All of that when they contract signed up for.

No lies to

check.

Okay.

Yeah.

If they're not teaching them how to read a clock, can you at least do that?

Because you didn't go buy no book bag and no school supplies.

So can you at least teach them how to read a clock?

Can you at least teach them to be respectable people?

Oh my gosh.

I'm sure the teachers would love that.

Everybody is talking about this thing with the federal government coming down on NPS suspending so many black kids.

My problem is this.

We're only 10%, less than 10% of the people who go to state fair.

When you saw that video of the last night, we were 100% represented.

Those are the thank yous y'all sent to the teachers at the school.

You need to

understand that.

This

is not an NPS only problem.

only problem if NPS wasn't doing all the other things.

Right now, they've got a thing going on TV about the shootings, how kids just hear gunshots all the time.

Is that the teacher's fault?

Right.

Right.

Is that your fault?

Because of where you live and where you decided to lay down it.

Don't blame the community.

For your downfall, when your downfall was made of bad decisions.

Some people decided to have that baby.

Now we know that was a bad decision.

Some things are just bad decisions and it's not racist.

It's bad decisions.

And we need to understand that.

Today is the first day of school.

Y'all more concerned about what your kid is gonna have on.

Mm-hmm.

Than what he's gonna learn.

Yes ma'am.

Half of y'all went to the book bag giveaway.

Mm-hmm.

But y'all didn't go to the open house at the school.

There it is.

There it is.

So now, when these kids are family and Milwaukee is the way it is, it's not because the teachers aren't doing their job,

they

go to work every day.

It's what you're sending them is inappropriate.

When you have a kid, now today you know it's going to be a lot of mess about these cell phones, right?

Somebody up here now telling me if you try to take your phone, you give me a call.

Yeah, this is somebody just now.

This is the beginning of the problem.

And then we're going to say, my baby didn't learn nothing.

My baby graduated.

He couldn't leave.

But that means you didn't ever have to leave a cake box.

Say it.

You don't have a high school diploma but you got a car key

Thank

you.

We appreciate you.

Nothing but the

truth.

Yes,

nothing but the truth is nothing but

the

truth.

Also, I saw this and I meant to, um, I think I wanted to try to read it.

It was last week, I think,

and I

ended up seeing this information, but we're going to get into it before we go to our break.

If Xavier has been able to find that clip.

We're four Messamer high school students were robbed Milwaukee police steel searching for robbers and we got the news clip.

We're gonna play that and We definitely need to talk about that and some of the safety tips that law enforcement is giving about Children and when they're going to and from school,

right?

So we're gonna play that clip Xavier if you're ready with that play that

Well, certainly a scary start to the year at Mesmer High School.

Today we learned four students were robbed after classes let out Friday afternoon.

It all happened just blocks away from the private Catholic School near Port Washington and Capitol in Milwaukee.

12 News, Maddie Augustine joining us live there tonight and Maddie the school says the robbers were armed.

right?

Investigators have not said what kind of weapon was used, but police say the thieves got away with items belonging to the students tonight.

Families are on edge.

just days into the start of a new school year.

It's startling.

Unexpected fears and concerns for the Messmer High School community.

Her classmates experience something like this is, you know, it's troubling.

School officials say four students were robbed after school Friday afternoon while walking near Port Washington and Capitol Drive.

It's tragic that those kids had experience that it's tragic that.

This attention has been brought to this neighborhood as well as the school.

In this letter sent to families, the school says the three armed robbers wore masks, but students said one had a rose tattoo on his hand and another on his neck.

Milwaukee police tell 12 news they think the three are around 16 years old.

These kids should be allowed to go to and from in the neighborhood from their school to restaurants or whatever.

I just think that they should be able to do that.

that's what we're trying

to do.

We're trying to make sure that we're doing it effortlessly.

The incident has some families taking

precaution, at least for a little while.

We're picking her up.

Just, you know, we obviously we're we're concerned with her safety.

Will King says two of his sons attend Mesmer.

He says they're having more conversations about safety.

I just try to try to instill in him to be aware of your surroundings.

Be aware of who you surround yourself with

King is calling on the community to step

up.

We can solve these problems as a

And Maddie, we're also hearing from school officials tonight.

Right, Blake, in a statement, Mesmer High School says their students' safety and well-being is their top priority, and they say that school counselors are on hand to help any students who need to talk.

Police say if you know anything, call Crime Stoppers.

That number is 414-224-TIPS.

Certainly a very terrifying way to start the school year, Maddie

Augustine.

tragic and traumatizing.

The high school is now encouraging their families to take the following precautions.

Walk in groups.

Please ensure that students walk home with friends or in groups whenever possible.

Avoid East Capital restaurants.

We

ask that students refrain from walking to restaurants on East Capital at this time.

Stay vigilant.

Yes,

students taking public transportation and or walking home should remain aware of their surroundings at all times.

Mm hmm.

Report suspicious activity.

Encourage your student to report any concerning behavior to school, staff or police immediately.

Well, you know, um, that area over there is that's a tough area.

Yeah.

You know, and, um, uh,

They should definitely shouldn't be going to restaurants in that area.

Well, you know, that's a walk from the

school.

Yeah.

But, you know, I think that in the realm of just being a student, you know, you were able to do that.

You

were able

to walk to

a restaurant.

You were, but now it's really in the

climate.

Change

I mean with the climate and everything that's going on maybe some years back you could do that But now with everything that's going on the best thing to do is if you can pick up and drop off you should do that

you know

and You know just keep an eye out.

Yeah,

you know, I mean because it's not You know, it's not the arena that you would like and and where the school is located is just not you know

Mm-hmm

the best area for all that it doesn't lend itself to being able to do all of that these days, you know,

right and Let's see RC creation muse on our YouTube page said not surprised at all fearless What have we done to make criminals fear doing crimes?

No death penalties.

No beatings just time.

We will give you more time if you commit a crime, you know and

That is, uh, yeah, that kind of goes to where, uh, Alderman Bob Bowman was talking about,

you know,

water street.

I got a whole opinion on that.

Yeah.

And if okay, go like me.

Okay.

Let's, let's, let's come back

and

Truth in the morning on the award winning one on one seven truth We got some truth going on in the YouTube chat, but we want to go to this Alderman Bob Bowman as it relates to this water street stuff

because

we have to continue to give updates on these situations So we got Xavier ready to play that clip Xavier if you could run that clip

Are you sure?

Street once again under scrutiny after another business closes for good this weekend.

Alderman is blaming police for the issues.

Christina van Zels is here with the new video that shows the chaos he's talking about.

Yeah, Kim police say that the fight that's captured on that video happened just before 2 AM Sunday, which is around bar closed time.

Two people were arrested, but a Milwaukee Alderman says police aren't doing enough.

Melanie Paulson was heading to Ian's Pizza just before 2 a.m.

Sunday when she came across people fighting in the middle of Juno Street.

Six police maybe came and were trying to, you know, break it up and stuff.

What sounds like a taser and at least two people in cuffs Milwaukee police say two people were arrested and issued citations one for disorderly conduct and the other for battery.

Kind of sucks now to go out.

You know it's not safe anymore and makes going out not fun.

Alderman

Bob Bowman who represents Water Street says there's no accountability from police and says it's gotten out of control.

Police apparently make the decision to just try to be around and serve as a deterrent.

rather than actually enforcing the law.

Bauman says the issues primarily involve underage people who loiter and hang out on the block.

Paulson says she did see police try to move people off the sidewalks.

The heat comes after multiple businesses closed this summer.

Low country, Dukes on Water and Silk Gentlemen's Club.

Bauman says Trinity 3 Irish pubs is also for sale.

Who's going to want to buy that bar?

and try to conduct a new business.

I just recently saw about silk closing and just shows like this is why people don't know how to control themselves or know how to act in public.

We

did request to have the police chief here on our air tonight, but never heard back.

NPD did send back a statement, though, in response to the Alderman's critiques that read, in part, we continue to work and modify operational plans to ensure the safety of everyone, including those who enjoy the downtown entertainment district.

So nothing specific mentioned there in that statement on what police plan to do, but that is the response we got tonight.

Yeah, the Alderman was clear.

He wants more tickets to be basic.

hand it out for loitering.

People have the open containers.

He says that's not happening.

Right, that's his biggest point that he wants to make too is that accountability part of it all and having police actually arrest people so that they have that accountability aspect on water.

So we

see that in the video.

The

officers are there

and they did arrest two people.

They

arrested people.

So people are saying you're in district one.

That's the headquarters.

You're not going to find more police in any, you know, out on the streets like that.

We haven't heard from the mayor.

Right and if you notice the one woman who took that video did also mention how she saw police were trying to remove people from the sidewalks They were eating pizza on the sidewalk and police actually asked them to move so they were trying to get those crowds dispersed from just sitting around So that was an interesting perspective.

Yeah on that fight maybe not the example that Bob Bowman was talking about

because he's

talking about loiterers who are under 21 This it's hard to tell but look like maybe they were in the bars.

This was bar clothes They're all coming out.

So but yeah, that's just a lot of people are yeah

worried about what's happening.

So there we go.

There we

go.

And the sad the sad truth Bailey is with all of the Water Street and Brady Street being in news or whatnot.

I

have

some of those fake videos from Sunday.

I just was like, OK, I'm not going to bring them up.

I'm not going to bring them up because it's going to seem like we're doing the same old thing.

We're doing the same old thing.

But again, it's still a problem.

But Bailey, what's your truth on this situation?

I know you don't like this.

But listen, the reality is.

Y'all probably go say I'm a Republican.

Let me tell you something.

I know I'm the most one of the most liberal people you want to meet.

But my thing is this.

First of all, the the one that was on top.

live in the most hits

look

like she was a Caucasian young lady.

Okay.

That's my first thing.

The second thing is if people don't know how to act down there, then they need to start arresting them and letting them because see this ticket thing, those same people are going to tear up those tickets and it's going to be whatever.

Okay.

It's just going to be whatever.

So you need to start setting a precedence.

Okay.

So if they're doing something where they can be arrested.

Like they were doing the fighting and all that then arrest them Okay, and the other people you know You need to start letting them know that you are going to do something and that something is going to happen And probably not just going to be a ticket so you might want to keep it pushing They have to understand that their

behaviors are not going to be accepted,

tolerated.

Nothing's going

to be tolerated,

repercussions.

And the repercussions

is you're going

to get your ass arrested.

Exactly.

And, and, and you know, because

you know what, if, if that's the case, this whole downtown area that has just really become revitalized, it's going to be empty.

It is.

And that

is what it's going to be like.

Gary Indiana or

something.

Who's like, who's going to buy that Trinity?

Yeah,

exactly.

And.

Again, even if and because Sherwin Hughes, the truth was Sherwin Hughes, which will be up next, he broke down the fact that a lot of these bars were already trying to sell their businesses some for up to a year ago.

Yeah.

And they just hadn't found a buyer, but now add in to all of the trouble that has been going on downtown.

The shootings that have been going on downtown.

That is not.

attractive to anybody who is looking to buy a bar or a restaurant on Water Street or in our downtown area as a whole.

So therein lies where you're trying to have a city that's trying to attract some of the major things.

And if you got some of the things that and some of these establishments are.

on websites for being a place to visit, a bar to go to,

a

restaurant to go to.

But now they're closing the door.

They like, uh,

but let's be realistic.

This has been going on and downtown Milwaukee for years since I've been here.

There's been a somewhat, there's been a problem at one point or another.

You know what I mean?

But it hasn't been where a lot of people are getting killed outside the bars.

And that's what you got right now.

Before it was mostly maintained on the East side, right?

On the East perimeter of the color change.

I'm not afraid to say

the color change and so.

some of those damn problems

and I'm not afraid

to say it.

That's true.

Okay.

Down the street.

It was it was down the street.

Now it's all down the street.

Now you got these takeovers that are happening.

All these things playing it.

It's like you're proving to them.

what they were saying before.

My heavy D

verse?

Yes.

They call us animals.

I don't

agree with them.

Wrong is

what I'm proving

up, but

right is what you prove.

There it is.

There it is.

So y'all coming down here, cutting up, acting any kind of way, whether you're white, green, orange or black.

That's right.

You need to get arrested because we got to have someplace where we can kick it.

Absolutely.

And at the rate that we're going right now.

Yeah.

You know, and who's going to want to buy that business?

Who's gonna want to buy man?

Who's

gonna want to rent it?

There it is.

There it is.

So we got some work to do and we can't and the other thing is that is a problem in my opinion is that it's us a lot of times it's us trying to get mad if law enforcement does start arresting them.

They just arrested

our

kids.

They just

arrested our teens.

They need to go.

They need to go.

They don't know how to act.

They need to

go.

We got to visit this a little bit more tomorrow because we need

a little more

time to really discuss this again because some changes have to happen.

Yeah, absolutely.

Absolutely.

Bailey,

what you

got?

Trust God, do good.

Something great is going to happen for you as always.

We'll see you tomorrow.

Have a great day.

Yep.

I got my one love shirt because again, we got to listen.

We got to understand it's good apples and it's bad apples.

And we cannot

keep fighting for these damn bad apples.

We can't keep trying

to fight for these

damn bad apples.

That's all I'm saying.

Let them go.

You know what I'm saying?

If you love someone, sometimes you gotta set them free.

Yeah.

I love y'all.

Love y'all.

But y'all part of the problem.

Man.

And I'm ready to move forward.

You and your

cousin.

Yeah, my cousin.

They are.

They are.
