    AI CEOs Asked the UN for Rules. The White House Said No. Urban News Journal

    Sam Altman and Dario Amodei stood in front of the UN Security Council this week and asked for global rules on AI. The White House called it a globalist scheme and walked away. Tonight we break down why that matters far beyond Silicon Valley, plus a week of overnight shootings in Milwaukee, the first real head-to-head poll in the Wisconsin governor's race, new wage and jobs data for the state, an honest update on the certified accountability letters that still haven't gone out, and a Mental Health Awareness segment on the VA benefit gap that leaves veterans with PTSD covering the cost of a service dog on their own.Urban News Journal is independent, objective, and unafraid.

    Urban News Journal Tiffany's Near-Miss, AI Ads, and Milwaukee's Honest Accountability Check

    Tonight on Urban News Journal: Congressman Tom Tiffany's small plane went down in Lake Wausau, and it's now tangled up in the race for Wisconsin governor against David Crowley. AI-generated political ads are already flooding your feed this midterm cycle with no label telling you what's real. MCTS put two bus redesign concepts on the table, and neither one protects everything you need. Milwaukee may start paying drivers back for pothole damage. It's Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and we talk about it the right way. And the honest, no-spin update on those State Fair accountability letters: still not mailed, no fake countdown clock, just the truth.

    Crowley's $7.5M Move, The Accountability Letters, and Sanders & Bannon Agree on AI

    Tonight on Urban News Journal: an honest update on the certified mail accountability letters, still not in the mail and still not pretending otherwise. County Executive David Crowley signs $7.5 million for opioid recovery, and we're giving credit where it's earned. Eleven Milwaukee small business owners pitch for $5,000 tonight at Rev-Up MKE. Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon somehow land on the same side of a warning about AI. And the Brewers keep chasing history. Independent. Objective. Unafraid.

    I Checked Myself In. A Father's Honest Take on the Clancy Case

    Urban News Journal: I sat in on Milwaukee's Public Safety and Health Committee in person, and I'm breaking down what I heard, $6.2 million in MPD staffing funding stuck in compliance red tape, 65 officers eligible for retirement, and a pointed question about civilian hires that nobody's fully answered yet. Then an honest Accountability Watch update on what actually happens when you call the Milwaukee County Executive's office yourself. And tonight I get personal. I'm a father of seven, and I have my own story about checking myself into inpatient care during a mental health crisis, a follow-up to my opinion on the Lindsay Clancy mistrial coverage earlier this week. Plus the Brewers' playoff push and what's happening in Milwaukee this weekend.Urban News Journal is independent, objective, and unafraid.

    Marquette Basketball Surprises Milwaukee Kids at Barbershop Book Launch

    Former Marquette basketball player Robert Jackson just released his first book, "Every Shot Counts, A 30-Day Playbook for Men." Instead of a quiet signing, he turned it into a full community day at his shop, Raising the Bar Barbershop in Milwaukee. Marquette forwards Royce Parham and Joshua Clark showed up to spend time with the kids. Local artist DezignzBy Ulesha ran face painting. Kids walked away with donated Marquette t-shirts, backpacks, school supplies, and a full afternoon in a gaming trailer. Urban News Journal was there to capture it. This is the kind of story we show up for: someone from this city who made it out, and came back to give the neighborhood something real instead of just posting about it. Grab Robert's book, "Every Shot Counts," and get the free Urban News Journal newsletter for the stories we don't have time for on air: https://urbannewsjournal.beehiiv.com/subscribe?utm_source=youtube #Milwaukee #MarquetteBasketball #EveryShotCounts #CommunityFirst #GiveBack #MKE #UrbanNewsJournal
