    The State of the Union conversation continues before Sherwin pivots to faith and finances. After checking the YouTube poll on church attendance, he revisits past reporting on clergy abuse and asks a bigger question: does the church give back to the community at the same level the community gives to it?

    Feb 25 2026

    2/24/26 9AM: The State of Our Union
    Feb 24 2026
    Tonight, as the President delivers his State of the Union address, Sherwin Hughes opens the show by cutting through the headlines — acknowledging the polling challenges facing Donald Trump, yet highlighting a “silent group” of voters still strongly aligned with his agenda. With the 2028 race already taking shape in the background, Sherwin frames the conversation around the real state of the union — not just politics, but the fabric of American civil life and law enforcement. Sherwin turns to the evolving nature of policing in the U.S. — from hours spent watching body-cam footage online to how police-public interactions have shifted, including the emphasis on verbal warnings before force is used. Sherwin reflects on his own traffic stoppage experience — how a respectful approach helped him walk away without a ticket — and explores the human side of everyday encounters with law enforcement.

    2/24/26 10AM: Pulled Over & Politically Played
    Feb 24 2026
    Sherwin reacts to a striking YouTube poll result — over 80% of listeners say they’ve been pulled over in the last year. He breaks down what to do during a traffic stop, your rights, and how to protect yourself legally. The conversation expands to the State of the Union, public perception, and the dangers of misusing accusations of racism. Sherwin also argues that low voter turnout isn’t accidental — it’s tied to literacy gaps and disengagement that shape elections more than people realize.

    2/24/26 11AM: Recession Warnings & State of the Spin
    Feb 24 2026
    Sherwin argues that Americans aren’t being told how serious the economic outlook really is. He connects rising layoffs across major corporations to recession signals reminiscent of 2009 and questions how tonight’s State of the Union will frame the reality. He revisits what to do during a traffic stop — stay quiet, don’t consent to searches — and closes the show navigating a spirited call from Al as the broader conversation about politics, policing, and economic uncertainty wraps up.

    2/23/26 9AM: Black History Month is Not Multi Cultural
    Feb 23 2026
    Sherwin opens the show with a passionate take on the difference between multicultural celebrations and Black History Month. While multicultural events have their place, Sherwin argues that Black History Month should remain a space intentionally centered on Black history and experiences. He reacts to a recent Black History Month event in Sheboygan, highlighting that two-thirds of the sorority members interviewed were white, and questions what it means when Black spaces don’t feel fully representative of the culture they’re meant to celebrate. Sherwin explores the idea that Black Americans are often expected to be multicultural in every space — even when honoring their own heritage.

    2/23/26 10AM: Food, Freedom & EBT: Who Gets to Decide?
    Feb 23 2026
    Sherwin opens Hour 2 with a strong reaction to a controversial bill that would limit what people can purchase using EBT/SNAP benefits. He questions whether government restrictions on food choices cross the line — and whether the proposal disproportionately impacts Milwaukee and its Black community. Sherwin dives into tough conversations about health, eating habits, cooking culture, and what he sees as unhealthy patterns within the community. As the hour continues, callers weigh in on SNAP benefits, food deserts, and the realities of grocery access in Milwaukee neighborhoods. Sherwin challenges the idea that access is the only issue, arguing that purchasing habits also play a major role. The discussion gets real about junk food spending, fresh produce, personal responsibility, and systemic barriers — with Russ calling in to offer his perspective on food deserts and the broader economic landscape. It’s an unfiltered hour tackling freedom of choice, accountability, and how policy decisions impact everyday families.
