8AM: Local Business Voices, Jesse Jackson Tribute Debate, MPS Enrollment Reminder (Hour 2)

Homer and Dame kick off hour two by opening the phone lines for “What the Business Is,” giving local business owners space to promote their work and connect with the community. The conversation then turns serious as they discuss what they see as disrespect toward the late Reverend Jesse Jackson after some states and federal leaders declined to lower flags in his honor. The hosts argue that regardless of political opinions, Jackson’s decades of civil rights leadership and national influence warrant recognition, especially when other public figures have received formal honors. Milwaukee Public Schools Senior Director of Student Services Matthew Boswell joins the show to remind families that the priority enrollment deadline for K3, K4, and K5 is March 2 at 11:59 p.m. He explains why applying by the deadline matters, outlines required documents, and reassures foster families and guardians that support is available. The show wraps with lighter energy as Homer and Dame riff on trademarking catchphrases and saluting cultural icons, closing out what they describe as a powerful and wide-ranging conversation.
