Good morning.

Welcome to the program.

You have made it to Thursday, September 17th, 2026.

I don't go looking for controversy, but sometimes it seems to find me.

And when we here at one on one, seven, the truth and are engaging in our profession every now and again, you may hear something that is disturbing, unnerving.

Maybe even offensive you're certainly gonna hear things that are low class and half of that stuff is gonna come from me You may find out things you never knew Stories will be uncovered Information will be shared now we of course play our role and we play our part in bringing you this information and we have discussions about it

Via a variety of different mediums, maybe it's the YouTube chateau by the way if you haven't subscribed to the one on one seven the truth YouTube channel I don't know what your problem is It's free 99 just search one on one seven the truth on YouTube from your smartphone or other mobile device hit subscribe You can send text messages to 833-212-1017 I'm not entirely sure where they go, but hell you can send them you also can call us

at that exact same number which is a 3 3 2 1 2 1 0 1 7 we love hearing from you even if we don't necessarily agree and sometimes there's a little tit for tat there's a little bit of back and forth but that is what this is about every so often someone will call and apparently such a call took place yesterday during the tap in with jazz tyler that was being

Hosted by home or blow as jazz Tyler was on assignment And there was a fellow that called and I'm not gonna get into it because some of you already know what he said it was something regarding Involving himself or men involving themselves with underage girls, which is very much a crime and that's a very horrible terrible thing

But I suppose the way he phrased it was wholly offensive to all that listened.

Ladies and gentlemen, sometimes we are going to hear things that we don't like.

We are going to hear things that are disgusting.

We're going to hear things that are illegal.

We are going to hear things and even say things that might be considered immoral.

What I want us to do and what I want us to become because radio is in a very unusual place in space these days I think it still needs to be maintained even though it isn't really about radio I'd imagine there are just as many people that listen to our programs over the air whether it be our FM signal at 101.7 FM or our AM signal at 1510 as there are people that go to 101 7 the truth calm and stream us either live

or listen to recorded audio or go back and do the replays of our YouTube.

But I believe that we need to maintain the the liberty and the freedom of the expression that we have in this city, which is 40 percent African American.

which we will talk about today, the level of representation that 40 percent African American population is getting.

But part of the representation that we get is with these airwaves.

And I know that people are going to say things that we don't like.

It's going to hurt our little chocolate colored ears.

Black people can be very sensitive, but also very offensive at the same time.

I sometimes listen to how we talk about other races, myself included.

But, you know, I love.

I have a respect

There's other races that they're okay But then if those people who might be from those other races say a little itty bitty tiny thing about us Well, we want to cancel every damn body don't we?

We're not very good at canceling black folks can't even cancel of email subscription Get mad at somebody and try to cancel them.

I said all that to say this.

I don't want To ban people

From expressing themselves because they have an opinion That we don't like I don't want to be surrounded by people that just agree with me because first of all if I ever was in a place or a space where everybody agreed with me or if you Are in a place or in a space where everyone agrees with you you need to question that cult I Want to hear from people that have outrageous things to say now you can't use profanity

I'm serious try real hard not to use the cuss words because that you're not supposed to do that because this is a family show But I want people to be able to express themselves now here is where we have to draw a line because we need some kind of a boundary don't threaten anybody and if you're going to have Something to say that might be controversial and you may not know if it's controversial until it actually comes out of your mouth or comes off of your thumbs or your fingertips

If you're typing it, keep it on the merits of an argument.

Keep it on the subject matter.

Keep it on the Democrat or on the Republican or on the policy or on the mayor or on the police chief or our representation or our leadership.

Try not to attack the human being.

Don't threaten people because that happens to that.

Of course, we cannot tolerate because threats that people receive can be real and you never know.

Right.

Sometimes they're fake.

Sometimes people are just

Speaking with no boundary because the internet allows people to do that so we do have to set a hard boundary just don't threaten anybody But I want the controversy.

I want you to give us a take that we never considered before I want to expose the Underbelly of our society because I don't want people just going around and floating around and thinking that those things don't exist There's some real bad stuff that goes on ladies and gentlemen, and we are better off knowing it and not liking it

and taking a position against it than never hearing it ever and thinking it doesn't exist.

There was something that the era of political correctness did, and I would call that era, you know, maybe the rise of the silent majority, these very right-wing, ultra-conservative folks that supported Ronald Reagan and very anti-black.

policies, but they never really said much.

They were just very quiet because it's it's rude to publicly state how much you hate people of a different race.

You can't say it out loud.

You can think it.

You can vote for it.

You can create like business policies and corporate policies that reflect that hate.

You just can't say it because that would be rude.

And I think that that hurt us.

Because for a very long period of time people were curtailing their speech when it came to let's say African Americans in particular They hated our guts, but they didn't tell us they didn't express it and we thought everybody loved us because black people will place like our history Above everybody else's because it's mostly unknown and it's extremely important who we are because we're still searching for an identity and we thought

That everybody is gaining respect for us because as the landscape started to change through the 80s and the 1990s While there were some trials and tribulations black people made remarkable progress We really did as a whole group as a marginalized chunk of folks We made some good progress and we believed and might even still believe that the progress that we make

Will ultimately begin to erode or lighten the racism that exists It does not but political correctness kept everybody quiet now political correctness is gone because they held it in for so long and then boom you got Trump Trump says anything and so do the people that support him.

I actually appreciate that I Want to know how you feel We got so lax and so comfortable with it as black folks

We were inviting our whole enemies to our barbecues because if you show just a little bit of kindness to black folks, we will open up our damn houses to you.

Stupid.

That is stupid.

Because of political correctness, they weren't really telling us how they feel.

Now, what they would do is they would allow other people, the police.

To use their power against us so they could stay silent When black lives matter was a thing I'm not sure if they really matter anymore then you started to see Even the people that you knew and the white people that you trusted are people of any race because I think everybody got a little jealous the Chinese were like hey Our lives matter too Latinos were like

Hola, our lives Nosotros vidas matter too Got a little jealous and then we got real offended when They came out with all lives matter and it blew lives matter and then people started making jokes I even saw t-shirts that said strippers lives matter So side note on that they do like seriously

But the political correctness it hurt us.

We need to hear from people in a real raw fashion.

I want them to talk to us The way they talk about us to one another because we need some perspective So because somebody says something and this goes beyond race and culture and ethnicity and religion Because we try to entertain all of that

We have a diverse audience and I want the diversity of the audience when I say diverse Probably culturally racially levels of income education the whole thing religions we have I Have a collection of gay black Trumpers that call this program love it absolutely love.

Where else are you gonna hear from them?

They have given us perspective on the LGBTQ plus community that

Never even knew existed because for a straight hetero sexual.

Let me get it all out.

I'm a straight hetero sexual cisgender man Whose pronouns are he him mr. Sir daddy and money?

Okay, those are my pronouns and you can't tell me any different I thought that the LGBTQ plus I a plus we're all one big rainbow group.

Oh, no big differences

the old school gays you know the ones that had to hide they don't like the transgender stuff because that's identity

Gay men like other gay men other than that they just do normal regular people stuff You know what I mean?

But then when you have all of these other different identities taking over there's actually friction But I would never have known that if it wasn't for the diverse people that call this program and share their Sentiments you see and I want to hear that I think we all should hear that I don't I'm not in the business of banning people Somebody says something that we don't like let's analyze it.

Let's figure it out

Guy named brother love called yesterday and he made some references and remarks about Sleeping with underage girls or there was a story or Homer read a police report where a stepfather slept with his stepdaughter and then buddy love called in in a Distant kind of way he somewhat co-signed that kind of relationship obviously awful terrible illegal etc etc, but we still need to hear from those people because

We will forget that they exist and that will dim our vigilance It also is a worthy conversation because and I don't Recommend that you do what I'm about to say in fact I Don't know how much you should ever do of what I recommend.

I suppose that's up to you if you're a consenting adult Ask a woman who is Like pre-internet age

40s 50s Ask her how well she remembers when she was in high school Back when everything wasn't surveilled and there literally was real privacy.

We don't know what privacy is like That's the other thing some of us have to wax nostalgic about privacy.

We don't have it anymore I mean we had real anonymity if I left of the house and Didn't tell anyone where I was going

No one knew where I was on planet Earth and we took that for granted now

I'ma tell you, I'ma check in, I'ma take pictures, the pictures have meta tags of the location, the geo location.

My car knows where I am, my phone knows where I am.

We're not, there's no privacy anymore.

If I use a credit card, then there's an electronic signature connected to me and my address and my bank account.

If I put my phone number in when I go to the metro market,

They even have a record of my shopping habits.

I never gave the metro market my home address, but I bet you they send me to coupons.

I like coupons, by the way.

I'm not above a coupon and it's coupon, not coupon.

If you say coupon, then you probably support Lindsey Clancy.

You ask a woman or ask a man to.

When she was 14, 15, 16 years old.

in the 1980s and the 1990s.

Ask her about her 25, 26 year old boyfriend.

Y'all remember Richard High School back in the day?

And it was grown ass men coming, and these were not these girls' daddies, coming to pick up freshmen, sophomores, and even juniors in high school.

Y'all remember that?

And we just, whatever, didn't think nothing about it.

This is long before human traffic gang, and before everything got super serious, and we saw these things as crimes.

Yeah, no no that was a thing now a woman who's in her 40s her 50s her 60s She ain't gonna tell you that but I bet you her first boyfriend's about 27 28 years old not in every case But y'all it was a thing that actually happened and we need to be reminded of such things because they still take place To this very day and because someone says something that is reminiscent of that I Don't think that they should be banned so

I'm gonna set my own policy here.

I don't know how far it's gonna go because I don't know what kind of policy setting authority I have Unless you threaten to kill somebody And don't do that by the way You're welcome to call this program if there's a topic That you want to discuss and maybe you discuss the different topic on a different day on a different show that was controversial and made a whole bunch of people mad

Well, every day, every hour, really every 15 minutes, we may change topics.

I still, I invite you, I invite you to share your thoughts and your comments and your sentiments between 9am until 12am.

Even if I don't like what you have to say, because at the end of the day, if I don't like what you have to say, I just hang up on you, but you still can call back, because people do.

In fact, if you haven't received what I used to call a Felicia Award, then you're not thorough to me.

Like to receive a Felicia by Felicia where I hang up on people, I actually used to give out little trophies.

Some people when I was a wno v. Oh, I might hang a button was it was worn out like the color came off of the button because I had to push it so much You say something ridiculous obviously will cut the call off, but I don't want you to think that That you're banned permanently and completely because you may have said something on a particular day on a particular show There might be another show we're talking about Donald Trump and I might want to hear your sentiments.

I said all that to say this Your comments are welcome here

I am not in a censorship.

The president is.

Sherwin Hughes is not.

We still need places and spaces.

where free speech can live and breathe and grow like a biological organism, because that is what it is.

And I do not want to stifle it.

I do not want to suffocate it, especially in these days and times and who we are and what we're about.

We are not going to adopt a Donald Trump philosophy on censorship because it is the death of democracy.

Hey, we good?

All right.

Take a break.

Come back.

Talk about your elected officials.

They got a fat raise coming.

You think our elected officials get paid too much?

Maybe too little.

Let's discuss that on the other side you were listening to.

The truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 FM.

I'll be right back.

Don't touch that dial.

The truth with Sherwin Hughes will be right back on 1017 The Truth.

The Truth app and 1017thetruth.com.

You are listening to The Truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 The Truth, the Truth app, and 1017thetruth.com.

Under a new proposal, Milwaukee's 15 common council members and the mayor will receive 8% pay raises followed by 2% annual bumps when the next four-year term begins in 2028.

This is always very controversial when we talk about giving raises.

To our elected officials there was an attempt some years ago, maybe 2017 maybe 2018 when Tom Barrett was still mayor to push through Raises for a whole host of city employees because prior to that the US economy wasn't doing very well So Barack Obama inherited a pretty significant recession.

There was a lot of federal government spending on programs

And on the two wars that we were in.

And so the first thing that was done is local levels of government froze pay and salaries for a very long time.

If I'm not mistaken, the city of Milwaukee had pay salary increases and raises frozen for like seven or eight years.

In fact, there were some members of the Common Council that had never received any kind of a pay increase in the terms in which they were there.

In fact, fairly recently.

Some common council members that have been on Been all their persons since I don't know like 2008 give or take are just receiving their first pay increases in the last couple years and it's always very controversial because I think the median It's changed that there's a whole bunch of different ways you can calculate what the average salary is median salary per capital salary But what our elected officials were making at least at the municipal level County is different Was more than like considerably more than maybe even double

What the per capita income is either in Milwaukee or specifically for black Milwaukee and people got very angry that their elected officials are making so much more than the median average income.

Let me keep this very specific.

When I say elected officials, I'm talking about municipal elected officials.

I'm talking about your mayor, your city attorney.

I'm talking about your members of the.

Common console they on average were making much more than the average person the average worker in the city of Milwaukee and people got very angry at that They're getting raises on the backs of taxpayers and people around here struggling So it was a very unpopular case to make at the time because the economy was in a recession and There was a high unemployment rate not just in Milwaukee not just in Wisconsin, but nationwide and it was just a bad idea politically to force through

an increase in salary for our common council members and for the mayor.

But then there's this other part.

Something that I have noticed I'm very much aware of anytime we talk about the representation that we receive from the people that we vote for.

A large number of you think they're doing a terrible job and you'll give very serious reasons, honest reasons as to why you all believe that our elected officials.

Doing a bad job and because so many people believe that they're doing a bad job that they don't deserve a raise They don't deserve additional compensation Especially when our elected officials on the Common Council and the mayor are already making so much more than the average worker and they still are even though Wages have gone up salaries have gone up in the last decade or so because the economy did do a little bit of rebounding Thank You Barack Obama and the Joe Biden's

And maybe thank you, COVID.

No, not thank you.

COVID gave us, we got a bunch of checks, got a lot of stimmies.

But still, those who represent us make, it's when you, in the grand scheme of things, it really isn't that much money.

I want to get some sentiments from you all, because if you think about what they have to do and what they have to deal with, because we think that if we vote for somebody that they're going to stop.

The measles they're gonna stop crime.

They're gonna stop corruption Oh, the big one is black people think that when we elect people especially other black people that they're just gonna single-handedly stop racism How come there's so much racism in the city of Milwaukee?

We have a whole bunch of black elected official and we actually believe that and because they haven't stopped racism and because Like I guess because the kids can't read we think that the elected officials don't deserve additional compensation

because there's still racism and there's still crime and there's still corruption.

Somebody got shot.

I think three people got shot yesterday.

There was a fatality and then two non-fatals.

That's going to cost us about three and a half million dollars in money that we don't have just because there was a fatal shooting and then two non-fatal shootings.

And we believe that because that stuff still takes place, because somebody somewhere is arguing with their baby mama.

Our elected officials are supposed to be domestic violence counselors and stop that kind of crime.

That's insane to me.

But any reason or excuse that we have to use against our elected officials, we will do that, especially if we're trying to make a case that they're making too much money.

Now, the raises don't go into effect until the next term, which is 2028.

And I believe that we are going to have new members.

The Milwaukee Common Council in 2028 some people within the next year or so are going to announce either their retirements Or they're going to take jobs in the private sector or what I really think is going to happen that is going to force Some turnover on our Common Council which you all should be happy about because you hate them all anyway.

Oh, oh, here's another one.

They don't um, they don't pay the potholes Boy, oh boy, do we hate when there's a pothole because it's clearly

It's Malay Lake cogs this fault that we have a freeze thought cycle in Milwaukee that breaks up the pavement and then in the snow plows they boom they hit the ground and hit the ground very hard and they scrape the snow and take big old chunks of concrete that clearly is Alderman Russell Stamper's fault.

We literally want our elected officials to control the weather and when they don't well they're not doing a good job.

I elected them for it to be 75 and sunny 11 months out of the year and clearly at 62 degrees.

They're doing a terrible job.

A lot of them are going to, I shouldn't say a lot.

I have a short list of people that I think are not going to return to the Common Council in 2028.

I'm also betting that David Crowley gets elected the next governor of the state of Wisconsin.

At some point we need to talk about that, but not yet.

Little too soon.

David Crowley is going to need to fill a whole lot of positions.

He's got to appoint a whole bunch of people.

And why not appoint people who already have decent relationships and a good track record and a decent work ethic on behalf of the public than someone who was a current elected official?

And that's going to force a bunch of special elections.

So I think that there are members of the Common Council or people that are currently working in, near and around city government.

that David Crowley will likely take and put those folks in his gubernatorial administration.

So the next common council to get selected in the year 2028 may look a little bit different.

That common council is going to see an 8% raise and then an additional 2% if I'm not mistaken every single year because that's how the city of Milwaukee does it.

When I was a city employee, we got raises when we didn't even deserve them and I hate to admit it.

When Tom Bair first got elected in 2004, that's when I joined his administration.

You got, check this out now, you got to raise every year on your higher anniversary date just to say that they love you.

So every year it wasn't based on performance, wasn't based on you solving some big complicated government problem every year on your higher anniversary date.

you got a raise.

Then January 1st, so the beginning of the next calendar year, you get what was called a cost of living adjustment.

So you got an additional 2%, right?

So that 2% cost of living adjustment that kicks in that January of the next calendar year.

So you got your paycheck, you got boom, your paycheck of the month.

Boom, two weeks later, you got another paycheck.

You would get a third paycheck that month that was your 2% cost of living adjustment on a separate paycheck with no taxes taken out of it, because that was your 2% for the month of January.

And then it was just added to your salary for the rest of the year.

So you got these anniversary higher raises until you reach $90,000.

Now, this is 20, 22 years ago.

Then you reach $90,000 and then they didn't give you.

Another raise on the anniversary of your higher date, but you did get the 2% every single year until you left the city.

Oh, there were so many people making six figures.

And the pensions that we got were insanity.

I might as well tell you, this was 20 something years ago.

So when I started working in the Department of Administration in 2004, I was making $45,700.

That was my starting salary.

When I left four years later, I Was making fifty three thousand dollars and I didn't even really I don't want to say I didn't do anything But all you got to do is just sit in a cubicle if you sit in a cubicle in city government for long enough You're gonna be all right problem is you'll go nuts So I'm gonna take a break come back.

I'm gonna dive into these raises that our common council is gonna get the mayor is gonna be making like

170 180 thousand dollars a year.

I don't know how y'all feel about Cavalier Johnson making CEO money, but he is a CEO Technically Milwaukee's a corporation.

He's the chief executive We'll talk about our elected officials and how much money they're going to make in the upcoming years and also that relates to our YouTube poll Do you think that they make too much money?

Are they too compensated overly compensated are they getting rich off of your back?

You poor broke lowly taxpayer.

Oh, by the way, some of y'all woke up to higher gas prices, too I Know nothing about that.

I plug my car in like a gigantic cell phone.

So I don't know nothing about the gas prices We'll talk about all of it on the truth with Sherwin Hughes exclusively on 101.7 FM.

Don't go anywhere.

I'll be right back

Don't touch that dial the truth with Sherwin Hughes will be right back on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth calm This is the truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth calm

Milwaukee's

15 common council members and the mayor would receive 8% pay raises followed by a 2% annual bump when the next four-year term begins in 2028 under a proposal recommended by a common council committee on September 16th.

Other city elected officials would also see increases in pay.

The way it works is in order to give

Some of the like office employees and the people that sit in the cubicles and some of the people whose names you don't know That are actually doing work on behalf of the taxpayers in order for them to get a raise Everybody has to get a raise.

That's just how it works.

Everything is like on this weird tiered system And there's some folks in city government that aren't they don't make a lot of money and they do a lot of real good work But in order to give them a raise everybody else has to get a raise

as well.

And that's why it appears kind of ugly because when we see certain salaries, especially in the city of Milwaukee, because I think that we have a different idea and concept of money here.

We are maybe a more frugal upper Midwestern city where it's not incredibly expensive.

I should take that back.

It's getting more expensive to live before a really long time.

Milwaukee was a comfortable place to live if you made

50 $60,000 and you were reasonable with how you spent your money and you didn't have a bunch of dependents You could actually be okay housing was reasonable cost of living was okay You know compared to other cities you go to Chicago my goodness if you don't make $150,000 a year in Chicago You ain't gonna make it $100,000 in Chicago might qualify you for government assistance in some circumstances So we are considerably less expensive than other cities in the region even Minneapolis is expensive

And so when we see a salary is of eighty nine ninety two ninety five a hundred thousand dollars that kind of freaks people out Why are they making so much money and then we'll compare it to what they're not doing a good job of representing me They shouldn't make all that money.

Okay.

Well, how are they not doing a good job?

Can you give me an example?

Yes, Sherwin.

I will there's still racism Okay, so there's black elected officials.

They're supposed to legislate racism

Out of American politics, huh?

But we've had black elected officials going back to probably the 1700s in one form or another and if they weren't able to do it Why do you believe that our elected officials now can do it cuz Russell stamper?

Okay But even when I Don't do anything for free.

I don't know if you guys know that because some people think that black radio and black talk radio host we're just

We're just a nonprofit.

We're just here because we like to do it.

We just are here because there's nothing on daytime television.

So every so often someone will ask me to host something.

Hey, Sherwin, can you come be a keynote?

Can you come?

And I don't.

I'm very selective and I also I'm not doing it for free.

You know, often.

I got an inbox full of stuff I'm just never going to answer because people want me to come to this.

They want me to come to that.

We're having an event and we're having something, a baby giveaway, not giving away babies, but we're doing something in the community, giving away a diaper mission.

Sherwin, can you come and speak?

Sure.

Here's how long.

Okay.

They tell me how long.

What else do I have to do?

I ain't going to do this and talk to people and Baba help us raise money.

Okay.

Fair enough.

It's going to be there for how long?

Three hours.

Here's what my fee is.

People freak out.

What?

You mean to tell me that you're not going to come and spend your entire day with us in Kenosha, Wisconsin to help us raise money for our cause and you're not going to do it for free?

But I hear you on the radio every day.

Yeah, they pay me too.

Or it'll be something like this because they just don't expect.

I don't know what it is that y'all think that black people are supposed to do stuff for free.

We got to get over that.

Maybe it's our black elected officials fault If people expect black people to do stuff for free if somebody's really good at something like I'm if I get a plumber and a plumber comes and unclogs my sink and charges me $150 and he's done in 10 minutes like I could very easily complain I could say hey it only took you 10 minutes Why are you charging me $150 and what the plumber will say is because I'm good and it only took me 10 minutes

You couldn't unclog you saying so you had to call me and I can do it in 10 minutes You're gonna pay me 150 dollars fair enough sir So we just have like this Diminished understanding of how much money people should get paid for doing so but here's an example that I probably shouldn't give but you know me So I was asked to speak at something in the last couple of years Some of y'all were there and I say here's what most

I felt so bad until I cashed the check, and then I felt great.

It's a sure one.

We really want you to present and to moderate these discussions at this event.

And it was a worthy cause, because if I don't believe in the cause, I'm not going to do it.

So I was like, all right, cool.

Just because it's a worthy cause don't mean I'm doing it for free or for cheap because you want quality right and I'll give you quality I know I joke around a lot on the radio, but when it's time to be serious sure when I can be very serious sure There's many sides to me I'm more than bipolar.

I'm like quad polar got many polars I Said well for what you're looking for Here's what my fee is and I gave them like a whole structure

of what I'm gonna say, how I'm gonna present, how long everything is gonna take, like I gave them a real detailed outline, they loved it.

I was hitting all the boxes and providing all the information in between, you know, speakers that I was moderating, I was gonna share tidbits of information and data so that everyone who's participating in these little breakout sessions would be very informed, they loved it.

And so they're like, okay, what's your, what's your speaker fee?

And I gave it to them.

I said, yeah, we'll pay you, but.

We can now only because it was that they provide a lunch to people and they promoted this event Come and get we're paying for lunch come to the event learn about XYZ a B and C sure when he was gonna hose gonna moderate Lunch on us I'm not sure if they advertise specifically what was for lunch, but they lunch was included because if you want people to come out to your thing Feeding them really helps you can you can guarantee you're gonna get a few more people if you have food, right?

So I give them, they ask me my speaker feed.

I'm like, okay, that's fine.

Then they threw me another email like, well, Sharon, we can only do box lunches of cold sandwiches now because of your speaker feed.

Why would you tell me that?

What do you, you want me to feel guilty?

I felt bad because when I got to the event, I saw the boxes, the box lunches all stacked up on the table.

And I was like, oh no.

This is my fault that we're not getting better food and hot food It was you know, it was a sandwich with a cookie a bag of chips a little pack of the mayo a little pack of the mussel you could choose ham sandwich or turkey sandwich You know, I mean a little cold-cut sandwich.

It was alright.

I was like, oh man There's a whole table Full of box lunches, you know what I did after I got done feeling bad.

I went and grabbed one

I'm going to eat one, too.

I'm sorry.

I felt bad.

And then they paid me.

And I felt better.

So don't freak out when you find out how much money our elected officials make.

I think that we are just conditioned to think that certain people that do jobs on behalf of the public shouldn't get paid a lot of money.

Some of y'all would freak out to know that some nonprofit leaders are making six figures.

Nonprofit don't mean free.

Here, let me give you an example of a nonprofit that I'm going to take a break.

The National Football League is organized as a non-profit and someone in people is making hundreds of the millions and the millions and the billions.

Come back, tell you exactly how much these common council members are going to make and I know you're not going to like it, you're not going to agree with it, but also want to compare what do elected officials make in other cities.

Then it's going to make a little bit more sense.

And don't we want better people to run for office because you hate everybody that's in office right now?

You're not going to get good people if you pay peanuts.

You got to pay more than peanuts.

What's a nut that's more value than a peanut?

Because if you say, oh, they're getting paid peanuts, that's not a lot of money.

What's a better nut?

What's the best nut?

A pistachio?

I want to get paid pistachio.

That's a great nut.

You got to crack that nut.

You got to get inside it and get the pistachio meat.

Or you can buy pistachios that are already denutted.

They come in a bag and you just put them in your mouth.

I like a walnut to a pecan.

Oh, I want to get paid pecan.

That's a fancy nut.

It's a classy nut.

You know what I mean?

What kind of nut do you like, Xavier?

Macadamia?

That's a, those are creamy.

But no, no, seriously, the texture of a macadamia nut.

I'm not much of a nut guy.

Really?

Yeah, I know some.

Don't.

I'll just be quiet.

What about almonds?

No, you're like almond.

No, I do like.

Yeah, I like pecans.

Okay, there we go.

We can agree on a nut you like.

That's our for everybody.

But they're very healthy.

Take a break, come back.

Kind of nuts that you guys like.

Put it in the YouTube chat.

The truth with Sherwin.

He was a beer right back.

the truth with Sherwin Hughes returns after this on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth.com This is the truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth.com

Pin to our YouTube chat, you'll find a link to a GoFundMe account for our very own Loran Taylor.

He's been a listener and supporter for many, many years.

He found himself in a little bit of trouble.

He got caught up in one of them scams and they got a little money from him and we want him to be okay.

And also he brought us a pizza a couple of weeks ago.

So donate to his go fund me to pay for the pizza that he That he probably shouldn't have given us for free.

You know, I mean, he probably should have sold it But look what he did though, right?

He gave us the pizza and I talk about the pizza and some of y'all even went to his mad rush pizza in the Mekwan public marketing and bought some pizza.

So He's uh, he's pretty close to his goal.

I think his goal is about 55 56% 60% of the way to his goal.

So help Laurent Taylor out

Also have a story on how easy it is to fall for these scams.

So what I don't like of course when I don't like something I like to Provide information about it Is people blame the victim do you know how easy it is?

How easy it is to fall for one of these scams you've fallen for one that may not be major financial scams

But you've signed up for emails and your email address has been sold.

Your phone number has been sold.

It's easy.

They can get anybody, especially if you're desperate and if something looks legitimate, like fraud is a very real thing.

The reason why they don't get me is I don't reply to nothing.

I don't add don't email me.

That's almost a surefire way that you'll never get a response.

I don't because I don't trust these emails.

Oh, Sherwin, click here.

Your package is on the way.

Send $14 and you're back.

Oh, Sherwin,

we

have your invoice payment here.

Click here.

Click this.

I'm not clicking this.

Click you.

Go click yourself.

Go click off.

I'm certainly not answering my phone.

Oh, please.

I get offended when people call me.

I'm like, who do you think you are?

You better be dying.

Don't call me.

Text first.

Because I got people to call me.

Hey, Sherwin, what's going on?

Oh, snap.

What's going on?

You good?

Because they're calling me.

I'm like, oh, what's what's going on?

Nothing.

I didn't want nothing.

Then why are you calling me?

Send me a text message that says I don't want anything so I can properly respond to it by sending an emoji.

Don't I don't answer the phone.

These damn text messages.

Oh, sure.

When are you still interested in selling your house?

Sometimes I do respond to those and I say yes.

Oh, wonderful.

Can we talk?

Yes.

Seven hundred and ninety four thousand dollars.

I would move out of my house and leave everything in it.

I would leave my computer.

I would leave.

You can have all the TVs.

You can have furniture.

You I would I wouldn't even take my clothes if you want to give me.

Well, that seems to be a little bit out of our range.

Then don't text daddy and ask him if you can buy a house if you ain't got the money.

Why are you playing with daddy?

794,000 now you wasted my time now.

It's 900,000 dollars.

So whenever they text me Are you interested in selling your house?

Yes 1.4 million I I'm gonna tell you what you buy my off from 1.4 million when I leave the station today.

I won't even go home.

I Just go to like a hotel somewhere.

Well now I'm a millionaire.

I stay at the fister for like a week just to get my mind right offer me 1.4 million

Actually, I know exactly who's house.

I'm going to after the show But guess what girl?

Yeah Daddy is rich now.

Oh daddy

The raises would be better aligned Elected official salary increases with those the city has instituted for its employees said Alder woman Marina Dmitrievich who chairs the council's finance and personnel committee that took up the legislation quote We are just looking at getting exactly what everyone else got

That's how they're justifying the common council raises.

The proposal comes after the city attorney, Evan Goyke, determined that a provision in an early 2024 plan for raises in the current term did not comply with state law, despite having been deemed legal and enforceable under his embattled predecessor, Tierman Spencer.

Under that plan, council members and Mayor Cavalier Johnson received 15% raises effective when the four-year term began in 2024.

That boosted the mayoral salary to $169,436.12, council salaries to $84,205.58, and the council president's salary to $94,310.25.

Other elected and unelected officials also received substantial raises.

But the problem came in a provision that provided matching raises to elected officials, including the council and the mayor up to 3% whenever general city employees received across the board pay bumps within that term.

So if anybody else in the city got a raise, mayor got a raise too.

Sounds kind of like a mob boss, but okay.

City Attorney Goyke in a September 11th memo said that element of the plan actually did not conform with state law that prohibits elected officials who can raise their own salaries from doing so within the current term.

That power lies within the council and the mayor.

His office found that under the provision if the council and mayor voted to increase the salaries of general city employees, they wouldn't be in effect

Voting to increase would be in effect rather, voting to increase their own salaries within the same term.

So if you want to give like a city office worker a raise because they've been working hard for many years, then their raise is that city office employee maybe making 30 grand automatically triggers a raise for the common council.

and the mayor.

We'll take a break, come back, compare Milwaukee elected official salaries to those mayors and common council members in other like-sized cities.

The truth with Sherwin Hughes will be back for hour two.

The truth with Sherwin Hughes returns after this on 1017 The Truth, the truth app and 1017thetruth.com.

This is the truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth.com

Welcome to our three of the truth with Sherwin Hughes.

We asked you a question via our YouTube poll because you know we have inquisitive temperaments here Do you believe that our elected officials get paid too much?

I'm speaking specifically about Milwaukee Common Council members and the mayor Because they are slated to get 8% raises not effective immediately But effective after

This term expires and so if they are elected or reelected come 2028 New salaries will be instituted and they you know, they're okay salaries But if you consider all that goes into the job, I think it's fair compensation and also if we as the public Want new people different people better people maybe smarter people To run for office

The wages have to be competitive because we're asking people that have real world experience elsewhere to stop what they're doing and then run for political office, which is not fun.

It's a serious blue collar endeavor trying to convince someone for their vote is very, very tough because that's when voters get like self righteous because we know that we are in control.

We make them beg for it.

Somebody comes and knocks on your door.

Hey, I'm so and so running for office.

Oh, we grill them if we answer the door.

Nobody really knocks on my door anymore.

I don't know why I might get a canvasser.

Or someone who like will drop some literature like a little pamphlet, a little door hanger for one of the candidates.

And oh, and if I catch him, I stop him.

Hey, hey, come here.

Yes.

Who are you?

Oh, I'm I'm just doing lit drops for so and so.

Come here.

Let's talk.

Do you know what their policy stances are on illegal immigration?

No, no, I just I'm just here dropping the lid.

I remember back when candidates will come knock on your door and

do

that no more.

Now, the higher people or these outside groups will have people that will knock on your door.

Sometimes they'll knock on your door just to see if you're registered to vote.

That's offensive because you can you can see if I'm registered to vote because they get a list.

And I know your name.

Hi Sherwin.

Are you registered to vote?

Is your mama registered to vote?

No, I don't say that.

That's not nice.

But when somebody knocks on our door, we ask them, what are you going to do for me?

How are you going to fix everything that's wrong?

How are you going to fix these streets?

How are you going to stop the crime?

How are you going to stop the racism?

It's a little ridiculous.

But when you put voters in the driver's suit, that's when we feel very emboldened and empowered.

We as voters especially African-American voters if there's a black agenda Is there a black agenda?

Maybe I should ask that question on tomorrow's YouTube poll if so, what the hell is it and for what black people?

Some black people don't need anything some people black people need everything, but are we working in unison?

To put together a black agenda.

What is it supporting black-owned businesses?

Hey enough with the restaurants.

Okay, can we cool it?

I know your food is good.

I know.

But we don't need another black restaurant.

Serving macaroni, cheese, collard greens, candy-ams, and goddamn lamb chops.

We don't need it.

We don't need just shrimp pasta.

That's enough, because you're all serving the same thing.

And all the damn food influencers.

Oh, we got a whole industry of black food influencers.

All they do.

is go to black owned restaurants and eat the exact same food sitting in their cars.

Other than Mamie, the Mamie way she's so cute, but she's so ghetto.

Not a compliment.

She's so pretty.

But I think they pay her to do food reviews.

In fact, I know at least two restaurant owners that have been extorted.

By these these food reviews.

Have you guys seen these food reviewers?

They're post on tiktok and they post on Facebook and they post on Instagram.

They're all today.

We're checking out booboo in them soul food on zero thin capital negative first in locust You know the lower the street number the worst in neighborhood We're over here on negative 10th and burly trying out mama in them soul food kitchen.

I Got the macaroni

The collard greens, the candy hams, and a fried catfish.

Let me do a little quick one on catfish.

Y'all know catfish isn't good.

That's why you gotta fry it.

Nobody eats baked catfish because it's gross.

It's not good.

People like fried catfish because of the fried, not because of the catfish.

It's too fishy, and you ever have baked catfish?

Nauseating.

Oh, it's so bad.

You have to fry it to mask how it actually tastes.

That should tell you something.

We're trying big mama nymphs fried catfish and I got the side of spaghetti Spaghetti and fish don't go together Neither do chicken and waffles stop it Shrimp and grits.

I'll give you I'll give you that it's still weird Cuz grits are breakfasty

Grits are savory.

If you put sugar in your grits, I will give you a felony personally.

I'll take away your right to vote if you put sugar in grits.

What's wrong with this?

I put in sugar and mashed potatoes.

Come on.

Grits are made out of corn.

Don't do that.

Why are we doing the stuff that we do?

What's the black agenda?

Granny and M's lamb chops.

Today I got the lamb chops, the candy yams, the collard greens, and the macaroni.

Stop it.

The same stuff.

I'm not gonna mention this one particular food reviewer, but he's just a slob.

He smacks, he chews with his mouth open, but dude will get like 15,000 views eating Auntie Linda Nim's chicken shack.

Today we got some Auntie and Linda and their chicken shack, and he's sitting in his raggedy Caprice.

With a steering wheel tray just food all over his mouth just disgusting people like watching that I do too.

I know I'd so I I watch it and I'm disgusted at the same time But Mamie, I like her I'd love to get her on the show Mamie if you listen come on I follow her she's not that ghetto that you

try to

portray a little hood red.

I like it though Geez like mmm.

Just be smackin this so good.

Oh wait

I'll book her for an hour.

Not that long.

That's too long.

Let's see how the first segment goes.

They're walking to the studio.

They're walking to the studio.

They get impressed.

Ooh, it's nice up in here, Sherman.

I like your studio.

Come on, Mamie.

Let's review some food.

I'd like to know how she got into it.

She's so pretty.

Just get her.

I can't do it.

My mother would probably love her, though.

My moms would be like, oh, finally.

Linda, you're on 10170 Truth.

How are you?

It's a great day in Milwaukee sharing.

How are you?

I'm just cracking up.

Have you ever laughed and cried at the same time?

No, I have not.

That's a woman thing if I've ever heard it.

I have not.

Yeah, I'm still, you know, processing emotions from the loss of my family, you know?

I'm

sorry to

hear it.

Who passed

away?

My I I buried my youngest brother last week

and

I buried my oldest brother You know before that so watching you today sure it I'm so just so grateful because I I got to be born between two brothers and Got to know all of their friends who became my godbrothers man I understand brotherhood and manhood and I'm just letting you know that this is the

understand y'all and I just so grateful to you know just get to know you guys and go up with you and to know your brotherhood and I always tell brothers please don't let anyone infiltrate your brotherhood because it is the most precious thing you can have between two brothers I'm trying to tell you

But I just say that because when you were saying about food, it brought me out of all of my tears because it is so true.

They need to stop making the same.

Everybody do can I make this ain't so fool it is so true Jerry?

You're so correct.

It's frustrating

Oh come support the black owned business.

Let me guess macaroni cheese collard greens lamb chops of some kind of Alfredo chicken pasta with shrimp in it.

How you know Sherwin?

Trust me.

I know

It's so true is so true, but I just I'm just so emotional Sherwin this one is

This one is really taking me down because all of the good memories and stuff.

But I'm just really trying to process it and have closure because we're not here for a long time.

We're here for a short time.

And we're here to learn before we leave here.

you know about ourselves and our relationship with our creator and You know, I just have to Process the fact that my half-sister unalived my mother and I just found out two years ago and The brother that I just buried is the one that told me and it just You know, you know, what

is that Linda?

Yeah, you're half-sister killed your mother

And my mom tried to tell us before she passed that she was being abused and no one listened.

And I tried to get to my mom, but my sister would fight me whenever I'd come over.

And so I tried to get there to bathe her, wash her, feed her, because she didn't have any legs.

She couldn't care for herself.

And so I'd come there when my half-sister wasn't there and try to do for my mom.

And so when she left, she came to me in a dream.

And she pretty much told me.

And my brother, he told me and my brother if something happened to her, looked to my sister.

Did she neglect her?

Or did she, like, how did she die?

How did your half-sister kill her?

Well, she was on cracks for most of her life.

And then when my dad took her to rehab, she came back and lived with them and was helping to take care of my mom.

And so I tried to tell people that drug addiction was a portal for demonic entity.

And so that entity knew that I knew it.

And so it...

took my mom out and um through my sister and uh and my mom came to me in a dream and told me after she left

who was the addict the sister or your mom

my sister and then she was the uh diseased in the family that pretty much robbed and killed and destroyed the family where's

your sister now is she still around

he

She's uh, she's on her on her last leg so now it's me and her and so I didn't speak to her at my brother's funeral and so now people mad at me because I didn't speak to her and I'm like what the hell And I need to know what happened to my mother I need to know and so that's I just did I could It's a lot of processing.

You know what I'm saying

one day at a time Linda you're gonna be all right

One day at a time.

Yeah.

I am trying to

go get you some lamb chops and some collard greens.

You'll feel much better.

I'll continue to wash your huge because that helps.

All right, Linda, we're here for you.

You call us if you need us now.

All right.

Okay.

Bye bye.

I can't talk about sex after that

call.

I almost I almost put it in the church music with that.

No,

don't do

that.

This is when the demons and stuff like that starting I

heard Somebody had no legs and I heard crack addiction.

This is this is black people one-on-one right here.

And we're Didn't know death is it's rough, you know what it does.

It's way harder on the living because we got a Process and it changes our relationships with our family

Like when my father was dying I saw our family dynamic begin to change while he was passing away and it's you don't expect it Everybody grieves their own way you take your time to grieve and you just it's grief is its own organism that shows up to feed whenever it wants to and It will exist

and you will not, you will not diminish the greed or the grieving rather, but you have to get larger than the grieving.

Those that have had profound loss, you know.

And then eventually, there will be a semblance.

of normalcy, but don't feel guilty when normalcy starts to return.

You're going to be all right.

Everyone's going to be fine.

It's going to go get us some macaroni and cheese.

Collard greens.

Lamb chops.

And a lemon drop.

The blacks love.

To drink lemon drops for some reason with tequila in them again disgusting Don't know what it is Who started singing about Patron was that T pain?

Anything.

Well, first I'll refer them to Bailey and Homer, because they do what the business is.

So first, go there.

But Sherwin, I want to come on your show and promote my business.

OK, if I can name everything that's on your menu, then you're not coming on my show.

And then they get arrogant with it.

I bet you can't name what's on my menu.

We got a special menu in my restaurant, and we got a food truck.

Collard greens, candy yams, macaroni and cheese and lamb chops.

What?

Did you hack into my email?

How did you know?

And then, oh God, didn't we do this other thing?

We roll it up in a goddamn egg roll.

Have y'all seen the soul food egg rolls?

What is wrong with my people?

Sure.

Well, you ain't never had this before Really?

What is it a soul roll?

Or we Philly cheese everything to death I Got chicken fillies and we can get it in the egg roll The big-ass fried burrito of a Philly cheese steak sandwich.

This is why we don't live very long But we want our black elected officials to fix it tell you what

Well, black elected officials, if you're listening, require black-owned restaurants to have different food items or don't give them a license.

No more catfish.

No more catfish.

Oh, mama, I didn't mean it.

I love it.

Come see mama.

Are

you a media fan?

I don't know if I'd say fan.

Tyler Perry is a unique specimen because he has essentially taken.

Basically a drag character and I forget it's him He's so good at media I just have a problem because a black man's masculinity is always challenged and characters like media Don't necessarily help because that's like a problem that we still have his black man.

It's all appreciate Linda calling and her having respect for the brotherhood that exists amongst men and women that grow up with brothers understand it women that grow up with her fathers understand it that men

Men need each other in this world, but because we are such a matriarchal community that's dominated by the sentiments, the ideas, and the emotions of black women, when men want to hang out together, black women are the first ones to call this gay, which is crazy because black women have more gay friends than anybody I've ever seen, but will use homophobia in a second.

It's the most twisted thing I've ever seen, and it's wholly offensive.

But then the same black women will be like oh our black men They don't love us They don't want us because y'all don't have a basic level of respect for us because we don't care when you go out with your girlfriends And when y'all go out with your girlfriends, we know exactly what y'all they're doing you are thotting it up go ahead Have fun enjoy, but if we want to hang out with our dudes go get some chicken wings and go watch the game all you gay It's so it's infuriating it happens a lot quick to call.

Let's get or or here's the best one

if we don't want a particular woman.

Okay, let me be clear on this.

No one wants her.

But if you don't want her, she doesn't really want herself.

But if you don't want this woman, you must be gay.

Oh, then here's another one.

Black women, I'm sorry, black men, rather, that involve themselves with white women.

They're gay, too.

All right.

Or black men.

who sleep around a lot.

They're gay as well.

They sleep around with women.

So every kind of man that doesn't want a particular black woman is just gay.

So 94.3% of all black men are gay.

So if you have male friends and you're a black man, gay.

If women throw coochie at you,

Clearly you're gay and if white women Throw you soft underhanded pitches of kuchi.

You're also gay for that too.

So if you're a black man and you Walk run exercise drive a car have a job have money have a house have a decent credit score.

Well, you're obviously gay Duh If you're a black man you have elbows knees dreads

a low fade if you're bald gay what do you mean he went to college he's got a college degree gay so we're just pretty much people call me gay all the time all the time oh sure are what evidence do you have I don't have any like catch me kissing a man then you know I'm saying then okay you got some evidence there

But always tell them Think I'm gay Let me take your wife shopping.

Oh, absolutely Sherwin because you're gay.

All right I'll pick her up at seven.

I want to make sure she's ready.

That's great gay Sherwin wants to take my wife shopping Pick her up at seven drop her right back off at 702.

Oh That was fast Sherwin.

Oh, yeah, we couldn't find anything on sale.

Oh All right, we want to take her shopping again next week
