"Regul8tors" broadcast on Facebook Live takes aim at Milwaukee's problems

MILWAUKEE -- What is behind the unrest in Milwaukee and how can the problems that have been boiling over be solved? Those are the hot topics being addressed by a new streaming talk show. It's broadcast on Facebook -- and drawing thousands of viewers.

The Facebook Live broadcast "Regul8tors", a Wisconsin Jobs Now sponsored radio show, may not have all the answers. But the newly launched talk show aims to address a wide variety of Milwaukee's problems with help from some of its most prominent citizens.

"We wanted to create a safe space for black intellectual thought," said State Rep. Eyon Biddle (D - Milwaukee).

Biddle says the show will stream three times a week on Facebook Live. It is an effort to reach out to young people.

"We aim to regulate. We're not here to do anything but make sure that all sides are playing honest and fair," Biddle said.

On Monday's panel, State Rep. David Bowen addressed the unrest in Milwaukee.

"They've reached a boiling point where they just can't take it anymore," Bowen said.

Pastor Gregory Lewis is calling for change.

"If we can get a ground floor, we can start to work on all the other things. Community control, communication - economic foundations," Lewis said.

Lewis said Milwaukee's problems cannot be solved by prayer alone. He is calling on groups like Black Lives Matter and the Coalition for Justice to unite and work toward solutions -- not violence.

"Regul8tors" will air Monday, Wednesday and Friday each week.
