7 AM: Jesse Jackson’s Legacy & City Hall Chaos (Hour 1)

Homer Blow and Dame Ellzey open the show reflecting on the life and legacy of the late Rev. Jesse Jackson. Dame shares how Jackson’s historic presidential run inspired him at a young age, while Homer tells a personal story about receiving a Rainbow PUSH Coalition pin directly from Jackson — a keepsake he still holds onto today as a symbol of leadership and sacrifice. The conversation shifts to City Hall, where tensions boiled over after Milwaukee Alderwoman JoCasta Zamarripa filed a formal complaint against Alderman Mark Chambers, Jr., alleging verbal abuse and intimidation during a confrontation in her office. Homer and Dame unpack what this means for professionalism and leadership inside local government. The discussion continues with callers weighing in on the ongoing disputes between council members and what it says about decorum in public office. In the final segment, Homer and Dame talk about why so many conflicts happen behind closed doors, and Dame makes the point that as a Black man in leadership, self-control and composure are not optional — they’re essential.
