Truth in The Morning · Thu Oct 1, 2026

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

you are supposed to be at work at 8 a.m.

You're late

And there is no excuse For being late.

I got you excuse come over here hit me up.

I gotta eat.

I gotta email

Just let's just print it out listen.

Thank you.

You gotta understand

Bailey.

I got you right

here.

Hey look.

Nurse Ariane Kawant.

She's a nurse.

So, you know, she officially she can be like make you an excuse because she a nurse, right?

Ariane.

Not just the C&A.

Okay.

And I'm not saying anything to tell you what you're trying to say.

I can't give an excuse.

I can give a working excuse.

What

I'm saying is if she

is saying

I can give you an excuse.

Listen, you

just go ahead and hit your girl up and I got your back.

Yeah, you know, make sure you file all lawsuits.

Bailey Coleman.

Whether or not they accept my that

part.

I leave a call in for you.

Yeah, they're going to be

late.

Alrighty,

so.

But

in talking about the firearms and again, welcome to our two.

We're talking about these firearms and.

The 17 year old who was shot by MPD law enforcement on last night.

For having a rifle and they were on dirt bikes or.

I don't know if they were the electric bikes or whatnot.

You

know, they got the electric bikes.

So it may have been a moped.

You know, you know, so or just one of the way that's what they used to say.

Like, oh, it's like powered

with gas or

whatever.

So yeah.

But they send dirt bikes.

So it may

have just

been a DM a BMX dirt bike.

Okay.

So who knows.

But having a rifle.

Period.

You know what

I'm saying?

Like, that's not cool.

That's not cool to be just riding through a community.

Right.

I mean, what is what is your mindset?

Are you terrorizing your community?

Right.

Is that what it

is?

Because a lot of people would be intimidated

by

seeing that if a person does

have

their weapon.

Absolutely.

Oh, OK.

All right.

What what are they on?

And

allegedly, there was a group of them, right?

Wow.

So, you know, not saying if all of them had firearms, but.

Unfortunately, from my experience, when getting the criminal complaints on a lot of these situations, it'll say that, yeah, it was a group and they all had weapons.

Even if only one of them had a weapon, it's a

problem.

Because again, we talked about this with the last shooting.

Watch out who you hang out

with.

Be careful because all your friends and friends and your friends, your so-called friends can get you in trouble.

Right.

It could be a problem even with adults.

We're not just talking about kids.

You know,

but that liquid courage that I'm talking about about some people, you know, with firearms.

Oh, yeah.

They will when they get it, instead of being in imminent danger, it's like they don't take anything like they're ready to.

rock and roll just because and they will get into a disagreement with a man or a woman.

So whoever it is that is the firearm brandisher or, you know, the firearm, they get into it.

And the first thing they do.

is put their hand in their purse, if that's where they have it, or they waste man or wherever they may have that weapon, they end up putting their hand on it like now.

Like, so what did you say?

So argument, in my opinion, that probably could have been resolved without taking it to that level.

Yeah.

Or you could have just said, you know what, this ain't worth it

and

walk away.

A lot of people that have a firearm will take that argument.

to the next level instead

of

using, you know what I'm saying, uh, their, their, their sense.

And I say like mental health people that are dealing with mental health who have not addressed their mental health issues.

They are the ones that'll be real quick

to

not only when you say something that they don't like, they're going to pull a gun

out.

Right.

And if you're not going to use it, people should not even know that you got it.

There it is.

But if you are now trying to feel like, yeah, say it again in, you ain't gonna do nothing.

I got something for you.

Don't lie, you giving yourself away.

You giving yourself away.

Learn to settle it with conflict resolution.

And even if the person wants to still be belligerent or ignorant, those are words.

Those are words.

And

we know words

can hurt.

Yes.

I'm not one in the one be like word.

Yes, he can.

Yeah.

But just let it go.

Yeah.

Because once you end up pulling that trigger because they said yo mama

or something like that.

I know going back.

Them silver bracelets going on you and when you get in that courtroom and say.

Yeah, but they said my mama and my mama did So I should yeah, I shot him.

I shot her You go in the prison Yeah,

yeah,

you go in

the prison

That's it that's all

that's all

because again emotions emotions have

have a lot of people are locked up and some living with gunshot injuries and some deceased because of emotions.

Exactly.

When you cannot control your emotions, then it creates a bigger problem because something that could have normally been talked out or you could have just, you know, say, hey, look, if I, if I, if you feel I disrespected you, I apologize.

Some people's ego.

Mm-hmm

because the emotions are so up there.

Yeah

that to say I apologize right to say I'm sorry.

Yeah doesn't exist at all They

don't even use that.

Yeah,

but then when they when them silver bracelets going you and People that don't know me when I talk about that.

I'm talking about handcuffs.

Yes

with them silver bracelets hindsight kicks in

for real

If I would sit there

in that in the black and that's patrol car.

Yes, you're in the the patty wagon, meat wagon, whatever.

And now you're sitting in there and you're thinking about all the other ways you could have dealt with

it.

Yeah, I could.

I should have just went on home now.

Now I'm getting ready to, you know,

face

these charges.

Right.

And now I'm still away from my kids.

You call yourself trying to do it because you ain't going to take me away from your kids.

I want nobody taking me away from my kids.

But

now

you done something.

Oh that you go.

Yeah,

you you go

and it ain't gonna be until November No question about it.

You absolutely go

so now what about your kids and again even with that I think people should have a succession of people that they have and And it's okay to leave instructions

Yes,

you know like look if you don't think you would handle this responsibility if something was ever happened to me.

Yeah,

then I would like to

do it like that.

That's why having a wheel and all of that stuff is so, so important.

Power of attorney, medical and all of that financial, all of those things, which again, you can learn it on the journey with Coach Erica.

But yeah, just the importance of having some of these things.

But when you go out there on your emotions and you let and react off of that, you're going to be in a situation that you're going to regret

most times

for the rest of your

life.

Now you're convicted felon.

Yeah.

Now you you're going to say

you're

away from your children.

Your children have to come see you on a screen behind bars.

You you felt I'm saying.

Oh, absolutely.

And now they angry talking about daddy, when you come home, mama, when you come home,

I wouldn't want my child to see their parent like that.

So.

Yeah,

yeah, you really got to think ahead

you gotta think about the consequences before you get to do all of that Remember, you know people get out here there in these DV situations and all the things and they got their kids in tow They got you know all the things and you don't think you know you going out here to fight back at a fight or do whatever you gonna do But you're not taking the time to think what about my kids.

That's it

That's it.

You know, and everybody don't want to may not want to deal with your kids.

You know, you may not be lucky enough to have a sibling that'll go to court to save your kids, right?

Right.

So it may be a situation where they just end up in the system because there's paperwork and things to be done.

So if your other relatives are people with kids or people that don't want to be bothered with kids, then you're going to be you and your kids are going to be out of luck.

Yep.

And your kids are going to end up in the system.

You're going to feel bad.

And again, I love trying to educate people to the best of my ability.

Right.

Listen, if you are in a situation and you have to, because of your anger.

Yes.

All right.

I'll be right black.

And even if that, I'll be right black.

Is you going to your car

yet?

You better understand and recognize the rules of engagement if you could literally Walk away from that scene

of

being upset or mad at whoever That may have verbally threatened you or whatever the case may be if you can walk black to your car Or walk black inside your home you were no longer in imminent danger

anything you do after that was premeditated because you went specifically to go to your vehicle to retrieve your weapon.

Hopefully you wouldn't retrieve

a weapon.

And you go black into the volatile

situation.

You went and got that weapon for a reason.

If you were able to go black in your home, oh, oh, that's what we're going to do.

I'll be right black and you going, you are no longer in imminent danger.

So when you come out of that home, you got something on your mind.

You done already said when I go black out, Oh, it's going down.

That is premeditated people.

I just need y'all to understand that.

I need you to understand it because I don't want you to have to go to prison and you ain't got to.

You can call law enforcement and let them come handle it and do what they got to do But if you go in there, oh, I'd be right black.

Oh, I'm going to the car What was that white man came jump in Marcus?

When he left what did most of the people do on the playground?

Exactly

I'm just saying we got a lot that we do have to Read on our YouTube page and Carly and the poll is still going.

What's the poll Bailey?

Do you on a firearm?

Right now we're 42% yes and 58% no.

Okay.

All right.

So there we go.

That's where we are now.

They feel it safe.

I ain't gonna do it.

I got it.

But we want to hear from you 833-212-1017.

That's the truth.

Call in and text line.

And I got to get to we got a lot of great comments on our YouTube page that we got to get to Bailey.

We got to

get.

Yeah, we got to get to all

right.

We'll be

black.

But again, to everybody on our YouTube page and our Facebook live.

Great morning.

We love you.

We appreciate you.

Thank you for your continued support.

Hashtag that part.

Hashtag facts.

Like even sir, chance to go black.

And read his and then kind of go down from there because like I said, it's a lot of comments on our YouTube black in the days we rode our BMX dirt bikes after school and after homework was complete and we all were inside the house by curfew, which was usually seven or eight PM.

The house

they were in the

house.

Jasmine Gooden said, I love firearms.

It's just my born right to make sure our government.

Don't try nothing or we get invaded by the ops Dale max said you have to have a gun in the world.

We live in today Blake Gump said 110 shells two people shot in phone lines at 833 I don't know what he was doing and

I

and of those shells were found in front of my house.

Oh He put phone lines 833, but then he put 25

I and of those were found in front of my house.

What the, you know, no, no, I don't, I don't Blake Gump.

I just felt like I lost a few brain cells trying to read that, but I can appreciate that.

You know, it's different Bailey.

It's difficult.

Okay.

It's difficult when you know how to read.

If I saw that there's some.

self-made authors that they put out books that I don't know who they got checking them before they put them out.

He's supposed to get a copy and be like, okay, yeah, they took the mainstream.

They

didn't like it was supposed

to.

And we're like, what?

Oh, yeah, okay.

All right.

First and

last time.

I'm just I'm just saying.

Okay.

Don't hate me because I can read.

Grown and tatted said, I own multiple firearms for range and protection.

I keep them away from my kids.

Exactly.

Jasmine Gooden said, I taught mine firearms safety immediately so it isn't something they feel is a toy or enticing to them.

I even take them to the range to shoot various weapons.

It's proper training as a parent.

Hashtag that part.

Hashtag facts.

In my opinion, Del max said it'd be 90 degrees outside and you got five people walking towards you with mask on my mind, automatic turn on defense.

And that's how it's got to be in the world today.

I needed a cold said it's so important to complete your health and screening checks as we were talking about that With the pink and blue summit Will D9 said good morning.

It costs too much to own a gun bullets are averaging a dollar It's crazy here in the US.

It's easier to buy slash get a gun than to vote for us black people

Aaron is him great morning.

Jasmine Jazz we said no, I don't have a firearm, but I would consider getting a BB gun I took martial arts when I was younger Yep, if you're in close proximity that works unless you can do the flying tiger The crouching tiger and all of that because if they over there The moves look cool

I might come up in the Bruce Lee era.

All the sounds.

He ain't even touch you.

Okay.

I'm

scared.

He ain't even

touch.

Okay.

All right.

All right.

All

right.

All right.

Order in the studio.

Okay, I'm black

that part.

I'm

black.

But but beware of those who know what your eyes because if they up on you, it's gonna be a problem.

But if they not unless they got that crouching tiger,

you said crouching tiger.

Yeah,

you know, they fly across the room in there.

You know, right?

Yeah.

But anyway, let me get black and grab my composure.

Will denies that a lot of people sitting in jail right now, which they never use their gun.

Hashtag that part.

That hindsight when them silver bracelets Aaron is him said when I had a gun, I was more peaceful because I didn't want the problems of hurting someone.

Cool.

Laurent Taylor said caffeine is also liquid confidence.

See the guy at Popeyes on North Avenue and we played a clip and we know we weren't because the language.

But yeah, yeah, but yeah, for $7.50, he was ready to throw his life away.

That part really think about that seven.

This is where I'm saying with conflict resolution.

Listen, if they didn't give you your $7.50 black, they have a corporate office that they have to answer.

And even though I may have wanted my $7.50 black, I know how to follow the line of what I need to do.

I am not gonna sit in here and argue with somebody and I'm damn sure not gonna not gonna say I'm gonna kill you like right that That I'm not gonna do so this is where I say, you know, you you really have to think and if you got some Undealt with mental health problems or issues then I'm not trying to hear your excuse after you done something crazy

that part

you did that.

Yeah

And now there's a cause and effect.

Yeah.

And you may give up your freedom because of that.

You know, yes.

Aaron and Sam said, uh, LT, I never thought about caffeine like that, but it makes sense.

Uh, Lauren said, Aaron, those energy drinks will get you going, uh, built with Shahid.

Great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

Said that's right.

Homer and liquid courage, like Tupac and juice.

Absolutely.

Bishop.

You ain't seen juice.

No, I did see.

Oh, OK.

But I say I'm I'm I ain't never seen nobody do that with no caffeine.

Oh, caffeine have people wired.

Now, I've seen it.

Now, I've seen it when they'll mix caffeine drink with some alcohol.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, nothing.

Yeah.

But

but yeah, because some people listen.

Some people that I've seen and so I've seen it.

So I think I can speak on it.

They don't get their coffee or whatever.

They don't get that fix.

They are some crazy people.

Yeah.

Yeah, you gotta have that.

Yeah, I'm like, even yeah,

that's a crazy addiction.

Yeah.

You know, and

then like I say, these energy drinks people hold on now.

They say caffeine and nicotine.

They're cousins.

Okay.

You know, they're cousins.

Yeah.

So what they'll do is they'll do something to you after drinking the coffee.

And then smoke a cigarette.

Some people are like that.

Yes, very much.

I told them.

Leave me alone.

I'm saying.

All my life I had fight.

I didn't want to do this.

Dmx.

You want to do

it?

But they wouldn't

leave me

alone.

Say,

Bailey tried.

I tried and I tried.

You funny.

Father, forgive me for what I'm about to do.

Well,

you better stop what makes impersonation But you know The energy drinks They'll get you health-wise and people don't realize that okay, you know health-wise they will get you they mess with your heart and stuff people don't realize that They end up in a hospital behind

them.

Okay.

Yeah, they'll they'll get you now

Uh, you know, I usually do one to two cups of coffee and I'm good.

Okay.

Other than that.

We got to

take care of some pills.

When we come back, we'll read.

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.

Welcome, Black Truth Nation.

Truth in the morning on the award-winning one oh one seven FM the truth We're broadcasting live from the American Family Insurance studio in the heart of downtown at the Avenue Bailey you were going to the truth talk text lines.

You got the text line up What we got?

Well first of all, let's do a mug check this morning.

Oh, it's B. Day.

Okay, B. Day.

Hey Bay Day All right.

Hey B.

Day.

Hey B. Day.

Okay

Okay.

Uh, okay.

Oh, y'all just came in here.

Okay.

Uh, the first our first read is from Stacy Evans.

It's been a minute.

Welcome back.

Text line.

Now y'all know it's too long for y'all to not to have your text line disconnected.

Nevertheless, good to be back.

It was there.

It was it's just in a new place.

It's in a new place and it's harder to get to.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So so there you go on that one.

Big CC said morning guys not sure why he was shot but is it Wisconsin and open carry state which means you are allowed to carry a weapon as long as it's visible.

17 year old rifle shots fired call.

Yeah.

I don't think I

think as long as you're not shooting it big CC

and you're in a community You know you're on 7th and Scott a lot of homes and other businesses on 7th and Scott So what goes up must come down?

And it was a group.

Oh, yeah, it was good.

It's a group.

So

that's

intimidating listen

It's even intimidating, in my opinion, and y'all may not agree, because y'all might be bike riders and three wheel scooter riders or whatnot.

When I see even Harley riders, when I see like 600 of them coming down 27th Street or blah, blah, blah.

Hold on.

Hold

up.

Hold up.

Hold up.

Yeah, and some of them have even been used in crimes.

You feel

absolutely.

Yeah.

But yeah.

So it can be intimidated.

So like even when you see the Hollywood man, let me hold on.

I'm just pull over.

You know what?

Let me just say having lived next to a motorcycle gang.

Yeah.

Yeah.

A little intimidating.

Yeah.

Just a little bit.

Right.

Just a little bit.

But

uh,

yeah.

What

else?

Uh, from Shahid Ali.

That's right Homer liquid courage like Tupac and juice.

Mm-hmm.

Yep.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, absolutely

That's all I got but y'all remember the truth talk text line is back open where we're trying to open we just Yeah, it wasn't normally it was it wasn't Stacy.

It wasn't disconnected, right?

Yeah, you know, you know things move.

Yeah, it was like a movie and it was like

what?

So

how we do that?

Yeah, we just try to get it.

You

know, we got to do all that every morning to get to it.

Bailey.

I'm just saying.

This is this is my last day in the

studio

until next week Friday.

OK.

You know what I'm saying?

So I'm just saying.

Come on.

And all

the things

like we

said, Al.

I know you sent us a

text.

He's on

the line right now.

Good.

I'm glad you're on the line because your text thing, it's a whole situation.

I can't.

Everyone, I can't.

It's got it.

OK, anyway.

Oh, you

can read?

Well, here's the thing.

OK.

It's how it comes up.

It says that it's on there.

But do you see the message?

OK.

You don't see the message, right?

No.

But you see.

I know that.

Yeah, so

I think.

So here's what I think happens.

Is that the phone?

I think that it may be the actual phone.

Oh, wow.

I'm trying to

figure it out.

We learned it.

Yeah, we learned it together.

Yeah.

Y'all don't even understand.

It's like high technology.

It's no, it's not even that.

It's just right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

L. M. K. E. Great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

You've been hearing the conversation this morning.

What's your truth and do you own a weapon?

Do you own a weapon?

And if you don't, why or why that?

Well, I do have one, but it's in my house.

But what I don't understand is why do everybody feel they got to carry all these guns just to go to the gas station?

What are you doing in your life that you got to carry two pit bulls, a nine millimeter, a Draco, and an AR-15 just to go get gas?

I feel this is a psychological warfare that strip away at your soul and your spirit.

Because you put it in the universe, you're going to have to shoot somebody.

And 90% of the time, you don't got that kind of money to pay the attorney.

You already got a second mortgage on your house.

So why do all that?

I think it's self-destruct.

by government, to have everybody acting like a fool.

Everybody got pink pistols, everybody carrying pistols, but everybody is behind all we energies.

Everybody is on energy systems, but everybody got $300 in bullets.

You're only going to shoot somebody that look like you, because you're not going to shoot the people that's going to try to take from you or try to molest you or kill you.

So why do y'all carry all these guns?

And you know, there's a there's a sad cause and effect with that analogy out MKE because Because you notice that I notice that and I'm sure a lot of other people notice that I see them coming in the restaurants with the extended clip Out they pocket.

It's like they got the gun in a pocket

They wear some deep pocket jeans or and they have where you going to eat?

I haven't been to El Greco's inside.

El Greco's?

Yeah.

OK, that's on Fond du Lac.

What is

that?

No, that's on Appleton.

OK, yeah.

They used to be able

to stay open 24 hours.

Now they now they

close because it's bewitching hours.

Yeah.

And they

don't want anybody

coming.

Subject and suspect.

That's right.

That's right.

By the hood.

What you talking about?

Here's where I was

going.

Here's where I was going out.

Okay.

I had to just say order in the studio Bailey.

Okay.

But because of that, the cause and effect of that.

And okay, it's good to hear that, that you don't, but because of that, when I would normally say, let's leave it at the house, but when I'm going to get gas and I know that I've seen people

that be up there with two Draco's.

And yeah, I'm like, uh-uh, I'm not going up here to start no trouble, but I'm also not coming up here to try to become a victim either.

So that's the cause and effect.

So people who would normally be like, I believe my weapon at the house, uh, you know, it's for the protection of my home and my family.

But when you know that you can go out and see people walking down the street with it, of course, you don't know.

Um, and I don't think they're doing it in the quote unquote open, uh, carry sense because it's in their pocket.

So it ain't like you could see the whole weapon, but you could see the extended clip.

So that's concealing.

That's concealing.

The only reason you see it is because of the extendo, the stick as they would call it.

You feel what I'm saying?

So, but then it intimidates people.

It's very intimidating when you go in there because it made you say, look, I don't even want to go here no more.

I don't I don't want to go to this one.

That's why I have a list of gas stations that I will not go to.

You've got a whole list.

You wrote

it

out.

I talk about it.

It's mentally.

It's wrote down

mentally.

I will survive.

I'm

telling.

Hey, I'm not mad at you.

Yeah.

I mean, because I'll avoid the whole hood.

Bailey.

Why lie?

You're not wrong.

I avoid the whole.

Listen, when I leave.

here and I go home.

Oh my goodness.

I get on the freeway.

It's a rare opportunity that I'm going to drive through the hood.

Why?

Number one, if I get on the freeway, I'm going to get home quicker.

Not

necessarily.

Do you hear all of the shootings and cars on fire on the freeway?

Well, I don't see none of them and I pass right by.

If I do, I say little prayers, I pass by and that's it.

God got me, but listen.

Baby.

What?

Wait a minute.

I'm going to tell you a real true story.

Okay.

Kendall was probably about 14, 15 years old.

We rolling out.

We're driving through.

We go right down Fonda Lake and we're over there near, I don't know.

I don't know.

We passed by one of the old uh uh uh fruit markets or something like that.

Hey, you know, it's just nice bus line over there And we're at a stoplight and he says Mom that guy got a gun.

You should see me.

I was I was like, I'm gonna get a ticket today I know I am but was crossing the street and he was running his pants was going down and his gun was flailing in and out of his pants now if that gun was messed up how many bullets would have flew

From that point on I said we ain't drive through the hood no more.

You ain't got to worry about that sign.

We ain't doing that.

We not doing and we listen.

I go through there when I have to.

Okay?

I go when I have to.

This church is over.

It's the sad truth.

It's

true.

And I'm not and I'm not stopping in no gas station.

I will drive on goshdard near E.

Told you I'll push my car

I will push pull or drag my load To avoid go because you know what?

It's just if you feel funny about it.

Yeah

You need to go with your first thought If it feels like it's okay to go there,

but

you be getting

on me when I say that baby

If it's okay for you, it's okay for you, but for me

And that's all I'm saying.

I'm a single female anything could anything could pop off and it I Mean listen one time I was over in the hood I Was coming back from a remote I needed to get some gas y'all know when we go out and do these remotes I need to get some gas one of your cousins

the Indian people or whatever had a gas station over there.

So I stopped to get some gas.

I gave the guy $20.

Now you had to pay before you pump.

I only wanted $5 worth of gas.

I was just trying to get back to my side of town.

I gave him $20.

He wouldn't give me any change.

I got my $5 worth of gas.

He wouldn't give me my change back.

I was like, you know what?

Really?

You going to do me like that?

He just started laughing.

See, because he thought I was he probably thought I was one of these.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And so, you know, I say that to say that I went I drove by that same area a few weeks later and I had seen it on the news, but I wanted to confirm it that it was the gas station that I went to.

They blew up that gas station over there.

Y'all play too much.

That was crazy.

I went right by there.

I was like, it was that gas station.

Same dude.

See, you play too much.

You know, it wasn't right.

But I'm just saying stuff like that happens.

But, you know, that's why I tried to just buy my business and stay in my

house.

Take us a break, baby.

And that's my truth, you tell me.

A-3-3-2-2-1-2-10-17, A-3-3-2-1-2-10-17.

Hoot tails,

Wisconsin hoot, Milwaukee hoot tails.

And

Okay, we're gonna go to the truth...

Y'all don't know, I got bars.

You better leave me alone.

We're gonna go to the truth context.

Eight, three, three, two, one, two, ten, seventeen.

You're telling me I got bars, you got bars.

I just on certain songs, I can't.

I can't do it all.

I just certain times.

I know a couple words.

That's it.

That was more than a couple.

Well, anyway,

OK, Sandra, great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

You've been hearing the discussion this morning.

Also, I want to know, do you own a weapon?

Yes or no?

And if so, why or why not?

But what's your truth?

Oh, good morning.

Great morning.

Good morning.

Be honest.

I do have one.

OK.

It's

brand new.

I never used it.

I went to take the courses but I haven't found for my life.

But I've had it for years.

It is brand new still in the box.

I got a medal.

You know that thing

you dialed.

Yeah.

And it's been there for years.

And I don't know.

I was doing it.

I brought it because I was scared.

Because I'm staying in the house all by myself.

And my husband was real political.

You know, he worked for the unions and he was gone all the

time.

So I was always by myself for actually, well, I felt a little protection, but I and I should have said they locked up and I took the cash not too long ago, but I still never took it out of the, uh, fowl, the cabinet that I put

it in the safe box.

And my, my belief is we can help people.

I really feel because if you look at this city, how it was rotten out by politics,

And I think you don't need the crime, but it's always black people that's waiting for it.

Because I live exactly where I have lived for years.

I got the house and said, we want.

And so I'm still here.

So I watched the deterioration of Milwaukee period.

I started reading.

You have to start reading about the politics of it.

And

you can see how landlords let the houses go down.

And then they were boarded up, and they stayed boarded up for years.

Now they're starting to chair them down, but they got a motive, because, like I said, this city knows years from now where they want to be.

And the thing is, we black people always feel that the fight, they're calling the hood for this, and then I say, I'm going to start calling this a paradise, because where I am, it's no houses.

They're tearing them down.

It's like burn man.

Maybe we can get together and grow some crops and conquer where it looks like Jill Gates and all the rest of them buying all the fine land and want to feed us poison stuff.

So I just have a thing that when we say we glad that our inner cities will call us to hood us, they put us all in one basket.

Even though you get a chance to get off and get on the first wave,

We're still, still because of our skin color, we put in the same bags that are being criminal.

And that's not true, because that's not a criminal.

If I have to say it's not weak, it's not weak.

If somebody committed a crime, and then white people, I mean, it was more of them that commit crimes.

You never, now I'm going to call it radio stations.

I'm going to listen to, because I don't listen to them, because I know how they are, because they're devil.

And I never heard them like Zimmerman.

He shoots, uh, three people killed two.

He, now they just talked about this 70 year old just had the gun.

Zimmerman got that, not Zimmerman, uh, right now.

That's what I'm talking

about.

Right now.

I like the rotten house.

Yeah.

Right

now.

That's

what it is.

There's no written house.

It's right now.

He got out.

He wasn't supposed to have a gun.

Right.

Now this man is 17 year old that just shot somebody was supposed to have a gun either.

You know, it's always something I think crime is created by.

the politics of our situation.

And then a lot of times you've got the elite, you've got a status that's got to stay up.

You know, just think, the hospital, this and that, you have to find the kids, the kids, and you have to close all this down.

And I'm gonna tell you one more thing, I'm gonna hang up this phone.

A lot of times all this stuff is bad network because I've had situations where I had to go to the hospital and got bad networking.

and nursing homes, bad networking, and they're not getting the skills that you should get.

And so this is what you're in a crisis.

So I believe politically, crime is created politically.

And we have to go up after the right degree.

I'm gonna call them the maggots, the maggot bunch.

Okay, thank you very much, Sandra.

We're going to Trey.

Trey, great morning, love you, appreciate you.

You hear the conversation, I'm talking about weapons, and we're talking about this shooting.

Uh, do you own or not own a gun?

Uh, but great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

What's your truth, Tray?

Yeah, uh, I do own a gun and, and let me tell you, man, I think I'm pretty conscious of the gun and I don't want to shoot nobody hurt nobody and I don't want to see nobody hurt.

But at the same time, now do I have it on me?

Next to never next to never I have to be in this setting that I feel I need it But at the same time, this is the way I feel I don't have a gun if something happened We can put them up and I fight you and I could take I could take a tail whooping to and I'm fine with that but We gonna both know we've been fighting now that gun have a family now It's at home

Mm-hmm.

There's my one of my greatest fears.

My greatest fear.

Mm-hmm.

Is is is Seeing my son seeing me and daddy don't put up a great effort to control this And that's the only reason because when those come in front of me and I got the equal to playing field and just don't come in my house Do whatever you want to do mind your business.

I'm on my

correct

same time

Gotta I have a son and I want my son to be a stand-up man, and I'm not saying I'm not saying that by far, but I'm saying You have to control your house, and you don't let no one come behind Joe though.

That's this my house You do whatever you want in front of the house off my property But in my house You can be the police right don't control in here

But I am your protection, I know.

But sometimes.

You better go to the boondocks, I'm

you.

I don't want to have to be this way.

Final look at the poll before we get out of here.
