00:07 Welcome to the I Love Sevo Show, guys. My name is Jerry Miller, and thank you kindly for joining us on the water cooler of content and conversation. A lot we're going to cover me. My phone is blowing up. Absolutely my pleasure. Happy to always help. Literally responding to fresh information from inside sources, literally on the show while the show is going live. Are you certain this information is valid?
00:41 Can you see show me proof so I can discuss this on the show without referencing you? Your anonymity is safe. I need proof screenshot of the document that you can send me. I will not use your name. Please send that to me in a hurry. The show is live now. Period. Send text message.
01:07 Thank you, Siri. All right, a lot we're going to cover on the program. Literally corresponding with sources as the show is live. Live on LinkedIn, live on the group, confirming the channels as we speak. This, the water cooler of content and conversation where information originates. And viewers and listeners, you have seen that in real time literally just now, as I'm corresponding with folks as we're live. There's a work session tomorrow with the Amour County School Board. This work session is the work session that was referenced in the Rebecca Berlin,
01:47 the Rebecca Berlin Post, goodness gracious, there's a lot of information coming in. In the Rebecca Berlin statement from the school board, that was a response to a meeting, a surprised, unscheduled meeting for Almore County supervisors. So the work session is tomorrow. We're going to talk about this on the program. We do have some fresh breaking use for you that we're going to relay to you the viewers and listeners. We expect this investigative report that is commissioned and financed by essentially an insurance provider, to be released.
02:40 There is a work session tomorrow. The work session, the focus is going to be on what the school board is now calling a crisis. We are now officially acknowledged to be a crisis in the Almera County public school system. Remember initially, Rebecca Berlin and Communications Director Grant said that this was not a crisis. Now Berlin and her statement on Saturday is officially calling this a crisis. The school board has labeled what is happening with the public school systems as an official crisis. Tomorrow's the work session. The work session was referenced in the statement this past weekend, which Berlin was the driving forces, the chairwoman of the board. And this work
03:29 session, tomorrow we're going to get in a report. My phone is blowing up right now. We're going to get a report, ladies and gentlemen, from the investigative, from the insurance company. The insurance companies authored this report. A law firm has done the investigative efforts, the actual investigation. And hopefully that report in some form or format will be offered to parents and taxpayers, the public, because it's time for where the rubber meets the road. I'm going to set the stage now. William McChesney, Vanessa Parkhill, and Jason Hampshire, welcome to the program.
04:10 We have a significant accountability moment in this Amarro Child Sex scandal. This is information that is going to be new to you from inside sources that are as reputable as possible. And now I have visible documentation to back up what I'm saying here. A significant development. tomorrow. The expectation is that in the work session, school board members will review the abuse allegations. Harmon, Clayter, Corrigan, and Wellman, the law firm, they are are going to provide a report which was funded by V-Corp, the district's insurer. In tomorrow's session, the insurer-funded report will be provided to school board members. Your viewers and
05:25 listeners deserve to know that this is what's going to be discussed, Jerry. I'm reading verbatim now. I'm literally reading to you, the viewer and listener, from a trusted source. as close to this as humanly possible. I'll leave it at that. This source says your viewers and listeners in the community deserve to know this. The community should wonder, you should be asking, will the board commit to an investigation
05:52 not ordered and funded by the insurance provider? This individual says, will whistleblower protections sit outside the purview of the school system? That's something Supervisor Duncan demanded. Wow. This information, the board has already met with Virginia Superintendent of Public Education, Jenna Conway, on the next steps. And lastly, your viewers and listeners and your platform, reading verbatim here,
06:37 the report tomorrow are going to be the first details on what's happened. and folks should ask to see that report. Sure, the name should be redacted that are retracted that are in it, but make sure that this report is not whitewashed or kept out of the public's view. All right, so that's some breaking use for the view and the viewer and listener. I'm actually learning about this in real time from someone that I know extremely well.
07:14 sending me information that I don't think anyone is privy on. That information will be out tomorrow for the school board in their work session. This is the work session that Rebecca Berlin referenced in the Saturday statement, the weekend statement in response to the school board in that statement, which we've covered well in this network on the number one media platform of Charlottesville. The school board is now calling this a crisis. I'd like to give some attention to the Vermillion family of companies, Virginia vacuum company, Charlestville Sanitary Supply, and Charlestville Swimming Pool Company. These are the Vermilion
07:53 family of companies. The Vermilion family has been invested emotionally and physically and financially in Almaro County for generations. They're headquarters at East High Street, at a business you know as Charlottesville Sanitary Supply, but this family of businesses is is much more robust than sanitary. Swimming pool, including construction and water testing and pool robots and pool covers and just planning a swimming pool if you want to construct one. And now in the fourth quarter, Virginia vacuum company,
08:25 folks, if you don't have a Mela vacuum, you don't have an actual vacuum. The Mela is the best in the business. A family like ours, which has a German Shepherd and has members of the family with terrible allergies and has children that bring dirt constantly into the house, It's Mela vacuum and it's only Mela vacuum. They're the authorized dealer.
08:46 They warranty them and they have a mechanic on site. It's only Mela vacuum in Charlottesville Sanitary Supplies the place to purchase them. Judah Wickhauer 2Shott. We got breaking news from an insider as close as possible, literally texting me in real time here, that the first iteration of that investigative report will be in front of school board members at a work session tomorrow.
09:16 Wow. That's amazing. The investigative report is funded by Virginia Corp, the district's insurer. Curious how the public responds to that knowledge, that the first iteration of that report is going to be in front of school board members tomorrow. my expectation would be as much transparency with that report as possible. Is that how you see it? That's what people will want, of course.
09:48 I think people will be clamoring for somebody to release the report or at least let us know what's in it and whether it was worth the money. Ginny Who, thank you for the retweet. Hank Martin is watching the program. Print radio and television that's watching the show. Your headlines for your news. new cycles tomorrow should be the first iteration of that report will be in school board members' hands tomorrow during their work session. Please report that. Bob Shata's watching the program, the mayor of
10:23 Birdwood, the vice mayor of Vavachi. Bob Shata says, I'm still amazed. People think these types of events can be covered up or ignored. Same, Bob, absolutely. I think the cover-up is worse than the alleged devil's work. The cover-up is significantly worse, in my opinion, because it continued Lucifer's behavior in our elementary schools. I agree with you on that, Bob Shotta, on the cover-up. Viewers and listeners, I'll open it up to your discussion. The work session is tomorrow.
11:00 It's at 630. You have multiple lower thirds you can rotate on screen. Yeah. What is the expectation viewers and listeners? Parents, what's the expectation for you? parents for this report. What's the expectation of what you want tomorrow? I think it's extremely important to also emphasize. I have more information coming in here. It's extremely important for you to emphasize, Jerry, that under a 2003 Virginia law amendment, divisions must have written child
11:34 abuse investigation protocols with law enforcement. The board says it's its chief legal officer is working with the county attorney to finalize the agreement. When did that work begin and why is there no agreement until now? That's an important question from an insider here. The school board and its chief legal officer is working with the county attorney to finalize an agreement on written child abuse investigation protocols and how they're reported to law enforcement. Berlin and her statement said we failed parents and kids because we didn't have the
12:15 infrastructure in play. Yeah. That was about as honest a statement as I've heard from Berlin. Mm-hmm. From a culpability standpoint, potentially a strategic error. Yeah. That can be used against them moving forward. I think it's also important to highlight this.
12:33 The Rio district vacancy timeline is now public. Yesterday, Almore County, public schools. released this information. Applications to fill Jim Dillenbach's seat are due by 1159 p.m. Sunday, October 25th. So this Sunday, October 25th, qualified applicants' materials will be posted on the Almer County website on October 28th.
13:03 Candidate interviews at a special board meeting will happen October 29th. Public hearing November 5th. and the board names the interim Ryo representative by November 12th. Applicants, of course, must live in the Ryo district. This has me thinking of these two various avenues. Number one, October 29th and November 5th are our next two public accountability moments after tomorrow's work session. Will the October 29th interviews be truly public?
13:43 what's the selection criteria the board will base this upon? Is this another rubber stamping like they did with David Storm of a like-minded individual? Do we think they're going to choose someone that challenges them? I mean, God, can you think of how important this is? They're replacing a superintendent. I don't think anyone that's watching and listening to this show thinks Dr. Chandra Hayes is going to keep this job,
14:12 the interim superintendent. And Dr. Hayes, I've been told you watch and listen to the show and post time. Dr. Chandra Hayes, you took over a position maybe with the expectation that you would eventually earn the position. But Dr. Chandra Hayes, if you've removed yourself from this drama and this and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and,
14:44 said, look, I want to consider this as if I was not the interim superintendent. And if you consider this as if you were not the interim superintendent, would you hire yourself in this scenario? Would you hire the lieutenant of the disgraced former boss? Right. That led a allegedly or perhaps, allegedly or perhaps, may have led an alleged cover-up that certainly has so much stink associated with his personal and professional brand, that if you get the permanent position as superintendent, Dr. Hayes,
15:19 what is the response going to be from the community on that? I mean, can you imagine a scenario where a school board rubber stamps David Storm to fill Allison Spillman's spot because Storm is a like-minded ideology, then rubber stamps someone to fill Dillenbach's spot because they want someone of like-minded ideology, basically taking Dillonback's concern. or opposite approach, voice, thank you, away from the board, and replacing them with a crony. And then rubber stamps, Hayes, Hoss's, one of Hoss's lieutenants and go-to, right-hand people, left-hand people. The perception of that is... The perception of that is, we're going to do whatever we want.
16:08 And we can give a rat's ass about you. You can take your trust and... and feelings, and you know where you can shove them. Shove it up where the sun don't shine. Right? Yeah, we're going to do what's good for us and damn to the rest. Malcolm Inge, Jason Hampshire, welcome to the program. So for viewers and listeners that are tuning in now, that's breaking use.
16:33 That's why you watch and listen to the program. Tomorrow, at a work session, the school board, according to an insider as close, as close as possible to this, we'll get the first iteration of the investigative report for their review, a report funded by basically the school systems insurance provider. And my insider, call them a whistleblower, certainly one that's focused on transparency, has asked us here with the largest following in the community to let the community know that we, the power of the people, and our only power really is
17:18 the fact that we are so large in size, should demand absolute transparency and clarity and understanding with what that first iteration of the report reads. Of course, names can be blacked out because they should be. Identities protected. But the significance of what that report would suggest should be known to the community.
17:40 And print radio and television that's watching the program, you should be covering this story. Elected officials, including supervisors watching the program, you should be tracking this story. Because tomorrow's the first real response to your emergency meeting from last week. Now the school board officially calling this a crisis. Handsome Hank Martin, his photo on screen. handsome Hank Martin says so Rebecca Berlin and company only now after 139 days
18:16 are calling this a crisis as Jerry said forget the financial impact the political partisanship that should not exist in a school system 139 days goodness gracious that says it all let's get answers for the innocent
18:32 students and parents he also adds in consideration of this debacle, does anyone trust or have confidence in the current school board, selecting the best candidate for superintendent? I do not, frankly. The best superintendent for students, teachers, and parents would be the worst choice for the school board. That's a great statement. The best superintendent for Almore County public schools and its students, teachers, and parents would be the worst choice possible for the school board. Yeah, totally. Put that in perspective.
19:03 What we want is someone who will hold accountable everyone around him and everyone currently working in the Albemarle County school system. If we don't have that, then we're back at square one and parents don't know who they can trust, if anyone. If that person is chosen, it's not going to be what the school board wants because what the school board wants is apparently to keep telling people that everything is fine. Mike Pruitt, Supervisor Pruitt watching the program. Supervisor Pruitt, tomorrow's work session, the school board gets that report, the first iteration of the report, Supervisor Pruitt.
19:54 You're a man of integrity and a man of diligence with a dogged outlook on how you go about your business. You're persistent as a woodpecker, sir. Supervisor Pruitt, utilize your pulpit and influence police, sir, to make that report as transparent as possible for community members, for parents that are reeling and hurting, that need to start figuring out some kind of closure. Supervisor Pruitt, Supervisor Duncan, I think you're leading the charge on this because Supervisor Malick, Supervisor Lipisto-Curtly, and Supervisor Missile have been. disappointingly quiet on this. Supervisor Galloway made a couple of comments following last week's emergency session. Supervisor Galloway is a friend. I'd like to see more from Supervisor Galloway on this. Supervisors Duncan and Pruitt have been the most outspoken, and because
20:55 of that, you've earned tremendous community equity. And Supervisor Pruitt, I think this is frankly an opportunity that you could build a political career around. And I'm not saying you would do that, you're going to put the community first in all regards. But this is a strategic moment for you, sir, in your professional and political career. He's watching the program as we speak. We'll give some attention to snows out to our living. If you're doing anything outside your home, our family's doing it, with a custom 275 square foot patio, hardscape, seating wall, fire pit, handpick, hydranias,
21:35 turf on one side artificial so we don't have to worry about maintaining it. On the other side, freshly laid sod, which is going to be beautiful. And we're looking forward to doing this for our boys as we spend more time outside and off screens. Snow's outdoor living has been in business for 112 years for a reason. You make changes outside your house from a harscape or landscape standpoint, a beautification standpoint. There's only one company you call. it's Corbyn Snow and Snow's outdoor living
22:07 and the return on investment on projects like this is ladies and gentlemen significant it's significant anything you want to add Judah before we get to another truancy high school student protest geez Louise these are happening again
22:22 I thought the truancy protests we're going to stop with immigration customs enforcement now we're protesting protesting artificial intelligence and we're organizing protests about artificial intelligence as teenagers while on our iPhone 19s
22:41 and Instagram and Snapchat and WhatsApp and TikTok because that's not hypocrisy at all. Anything you'd like to offer closing perspective on the first topic today? I think we'll keep a watch on things because somebody's got to keep the school board responsible. Well, I mean, there's a reason I'm getting, I mean, I can't. There's no one that's closer to this situation than what's happening here with my correspondence because of what you just said, because we're unafraid and unaffiliated,
23:21 unabashed, untethered. Yeah. All right, high school, Charlottesville. What the hell is going on here? I mean. What the hell is going on here? Do we have the lower third on screen? Yeah.
23:34 What the hell's going on here, Judah? I mean, anybody that's surprised that kids who found they were supported in skipping classes are going to do it again. And I think the article even states that a lot of teachers were supportive of this walkout as well. But again, we have to ask, how do parents feel about this? Are parents, are you fine with your kids just leaving school grounds because they feel strongly about something? This is off the top of my head, okay? Off the top of my head. Curtis Shaver, I'm going to get to your comments in a matter of moments.
24:15 Curtis Shaver highlights that the 1% sales tax increase, the referendum, is also on the ballot in Green County. Carly Wagner was asking about this yesterday. She said if there's a 1% sales tax increase that we all think is overwhelmingly going to pass. Judah and I have put the over under it, does it pass by 20 percentage points or more, we've both taken the over on this. Curtis Shaver says that it 100% is on the docket in green. It's an issue that the community is going to vote on in green. And Carly alluded to if it's not on the ballot in green,
24:52 wouldn't we then just do our shopping in green and then bring whatever we purchase in green back to our homes in Amar County? but Curtis makes the point he's bought a beautiful house with his beautiful wife in Green County that it is on the ballot in Green County. So thank you for that clarity, Curtis.
25:09 You got his photo on screen. I got both their photos. My favorite viewer and listener photo was Curtis. Neil Williamson's photo on screen. This is a fantastic reference point for the viewers and listeners. Neil Williamson said this. The 2016
25:24 referendum passed with 40,193 votes, 73% plus of the voting public in favor of a sales tax increase, while 14,480 people, 26% of the voting block voted no. That was in 2016 10 years ago, almost to the day 10 years ago. So that Delta Judah, quick math, was nearly 50% we'll call it 47% here. A 47% delta 10 years ago this past, according to Neil Williamson, the president of the Free Enterprise Forum.
26:08 So thank you, Curtis, for letting us know it is in the ballot on Green in Green County. Carly asked the question yesterday, can we just shop in green and bring our stuff back to Almarl? The answer is probably not. Although Green County is more conservative in ideology. Louisiana County and Green County, maybe your two most conservative ideologies that are out there. Nelson County is in that mix as well. Charlottesville, you're most liberal.
26:36 Al Morrow County, you're most liberal, especially the urban core or urban ring of Almore County right around the city. As you get into the outer portions of Almaro, I'm talking like the Scottsville area, I'm talking the Earleysville area, the Glenmore area. Some of the ivy areas, you get more conservative. Maybe it's a purplish hue as opposed to a blue hue with outlook. Back to the truancy here in a very short period of time. Last week we had kids protesting Monticello High School. They walked out of class at Monticello High School in support of a principal.
27:22 They walked out of class in support of a principal, right? Now you've got kids at Charlottesville High School protesting. What is it? Artificial Intelligence? I mean, is this just the opportunity to, I mean, this, I'm trying to think of what 17, 16, 17, and 18-year-old Jerry Miller would do. And 16, 17, and 18-year-old Jerry Miller was the young man that you did not want to see knocking on your door on Friday night at 7 o'clock to take your daughter out on a date. I just being extremely straightforward. Okay.
27:58 16, 17, and 18-year-old Jerry Miller had the 12-pack of natural light in the car amongst other things, had the spots where you could buy the beer, no problem, amongst other things, and had only one thing that was on his mind, and that falls outside the PG-13 version of this program. Okay?
28:19 So 16, 17, and 18-year-old Jerry Miller, okay? was able to do some talking and some charming and some leading at the time, would be galvanizing kids to protest every perceived, is it, autocracy? What? Autocracy? Am I making a word up? Maybe.
28:49 There's autocracy. Every perceived... What are you trying to say? Give me a word here that would vote a word here that would vote a word somebody to, kids to protest. Every perceived... If you're looking... Just pick a word.
29:02 If you're looking for a reason to skip school, do you need to perceive anything? Every perceived issue. Slight. Slight. Man's overthinking again here. I'm not the one overthinking. Every perceived new cycle story
29:15 to get out of class. Okay? Today's at Charlottesville High School because we got beef with artificial intelligence. And I want you to imagine a word. world. I want you to, to, to, to, to, I'm going to paint a picture for you. It is Wednesday, October 21st on a balmy and chilly fall afternoon in the city of Charlottesville. And hundreds of kids have picked up their iPhone 18s, 19s, what iPhone are we on here? We on a 17, 18, 19th?
29:54 I'm not on the newest one. Hundreds of kids have picked up their iPhones and they've, decided to get on Snapchat and TikTok and Instagram and WhatsApp. And they said, goodness gracious, despite the fact that we have $1,000 phones that are absolutely motivated and driven and moved and engineered by artificial intelligence and semiconductors and technology from publicly traded Fortune 50 and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and and Fortune 10 and Fortune 20 worldwide conglomerates, we must today skip school, be truant, and protest the downfall of humanity. And when you imagine that picture painted,
30:46 I want you then to imagine an alternative educational ecosystem where private school kids and homeschool kids are in classrooms in front of books, doing math and writing and reading away from screens, carrying the one and A-squaring plus B-squaring to get you C-squaring and Soca-toeing and Pythagorean theorem and Civil Waring and American Revolutioning and Boston Tea Partying in conversational real-life formats as opposed to on commuter screens and crowded classrooms.
31:29 Okay? And you ask yourself, and these are uncomfortable conversations for parents to hear, why the education gap is widening. You have truancy student protest organized on artificial intelligence about artificial intelligence. Make it make sense. Make it make sense. We'll give some attention to Conan, Conan Owen of Sir Speedy of Central Virginia. if there's signage of any capacity that you need done.
32:05 Merchandise, uniforms, hats, stickers, lanyards, the banners behind Judah and I, the vinyl lettering on windows, direct mail, anything where you have a logo or a message and you need some kind of tangible output for the logo and message. There's one person you call. It's only one person. Conan, Owen of Sir Speedy, Central Virginia. He's a Darden graduate. He's a Darden graduate.
32:29 Hank Martin says the last time Almore County Public Schools received funds by referendum, it was to build a new school to reduce overcrowding in the urban ring. The money was instead spent on wobbly stools, overhead lighting, and the remodeling of principals' offices. No new schools were constructed. No on this regressive tax. Oh, Jacob Willard and Philip Dowell, welcome to the broadcast. Philip Dow, Mayor of Sconsville. It's obvious, Valerie Williams-Davis, welcome to the broadcast. It's so obvious the answer on the vote to this.
32:59 this sales tax referendum is no. It's so obvious that the answer is no. But it's so obvious that this vote is going to overwhelmingly pass. You disagree? No. Right? Am I reading that wrong? We've already agreed that we're pretty sure that this is going to pass.
33:20 All right. I'm going to try to make an aggressive prop bet here because I got a lot of gamble to me. I got a gift from one of my best real estate clients today. with a deal I put together. Nice. A deal I put together for one of my best real estate clients. It was, when it's all set and done, soup to nuts, it's going to be, I don't know, close to $150,000 of incremental new revenue for him.
33:48 And it's interesting. One of my best real estate clients, $150,000 is an incremental revenue for him. Literally structured this deal for him. and he, I said, hey, $150,000 here for you. Just made you $150,000. That's what he said. That's what he said to me. Thanks.
34:09 Cool. Seriously. I mean, that comes with somebody that's got, you know, eight figure, $30, $40 million real estate portfolio? $150,000. Yeah. Great.
34:27 They gave me a McCallon 15. First time I've had, I will have enjoyed the McAllen above the 12. A lot of hard work went into that. Some money for the firm as well. I was talking with him about this sales tax referendum. And he mentions to me, he goes, you know, when they raised the real estate tax rate, at the same time that assessments go up.
35:06 And when they raise the sales tax rate and they raised the meals tax rate, this is what he said to me, what do you say, 81, 84, you were here. Yeah. He said to me, he said to me earlier today, almost exact words, Judah. When they raised the real estate tax rate, at the same time my assessment went up. and when they raise the sales tax at the same time they raised the food and beverage taxes right he goes
35:40 I raise an eyebrow yeah but my life doesn't change right that's literally what he said he goes but when they do all this at the same time all the folks that are working on my stuff and working on my buildings
35:58 and keeping this all up to speed. I talked to him about it, and they make the comment to me, I'm picking between chicken and steak and passing on that in the grocery store and instead grabbing the pasta and the eggs and having more pasta and eggs for meals, more breakfast for dinner.
36:22 No doubt. And less chicken and steak and ground beef. That's what he said. That's how he put it in perspective. He goes, I'll raise an eyebrow and I'll say, man, that doesn't make sense. He goes, but I still have my two McCallin 15s every day. That's what he said. And I was like, you know, there it is.
36:47 It's right there. Like when you're every day, when you're everyday, when your everyday drink, two of them, two of them. I said, I have two scotches. What do you say? Is your McCallin 15? I went and I looked at, what do you think the McCallon 15 is? For a 7.50. If the 12 is anything to go by?
37:18 The 12, which we do normally bet is 75 and under, right? Yeah. Because we put the threshold on the brown juice at 75 with our prop. That said we generally both like the McCallon, right? Yeah. What do you think the 15's at for a 750? Oh, let's see. I'm going to go a little bit lower than I actually think and say 95.
37:40 A buck 75 for a... 175? 175 after his tax. Damn! After tax for the 50. Good Lord. Two of them a day. Two of them a day goes through a $750 pretty quick.
37:55 No doubt. Right? At that price, he's probably drinking what? And evidently it's two scotches a day. $40 a day? Evidently, for him. it's two scotches a day, helps you live to 84. But more power to him, right?
38:08 I mean, everybody that lives to 84 will say that what they've done in their life is what got them. What got up to 84. But that puts in perspective what we're talking about here, right? You see what I'm trying to like... Yeah, yeah. No, I know. He's probably paying more in McAllen 15 than most people are paying in yearly taxes. Well, he's paying more in McAllen 15.
38:32 on a monthly basis than a family of four is doing on groceries. Yeah. Because if you're doing two a day, they don't make these in the big ones. It's probably flint. The high end, the top or shelf foods
38:52 is not made in anything really outside the 750. Okay. Okay, go ahead. I'm just guessing that he probably, if he's drinking, what, maybe a bottle every week and a half, two weeks? I think it's... You think it's faster than that?
39:07 Oh, two a day? A two-finger pour? That's a bottle and a half a week easy. Dane. All right then. Yeah. Maybe two. Two bottles a week.
39:21 On a two-figure? How many... I don't know how much... I don't know how much is filling. Oh my God. How does the AI know what I'm talking about? Because somebody's written it down somewhere. How many?
39:34 shots are in a bottle. A standard 750 holds about 16 shots. A two-finger pour is two shots. Two of those a day is four shots. That's about a week. That's a bottle every four days. You're talking two bottles, you're talking three over three hundred and some bucks a week on McAllen 15s. That is, and depending on the family, more than a family affords weekly grocery bill. I'm sure. And that's what he said. He goes, I'll raise an eyebrow. Yeah.
40:19 And then I'll sit my McCallin 15. But he talks about it with the folks that are keeping his portfolio up and they're like, it's between chicken and steak and now pasta and eggs and breakfast for dinner. Right. That's the definition of one word. What is it? Regressive. There it is.
40:36 is. There it is. There it is. And what these activists and these, these individuals punch drunk with this holier than God ideology, these folks that think that they are on this planet to activate it, make change. And make change we will do. What they don't realize, what folks are not realizing is all they're doing with a 1% tax increase when the tax rate is up, when assessments are up, when food and beverage is up, when groceries up, when gas is up, all they're doing is making Alamo County wider and wealthier. They're depopulating schools because those that can afford to live here aren't going to populate the publics. They'll go to the privates instead.
41:38 There's a reason all the private schools are in the middle of capital campaigns for more buildings, admitting more students, adding more classes, seeing their student body headcount increase. There's a reason Weldon Cooper has population public dropping. There's a reason last year versus this year, and the number that just came out in October, public school population dropped nearly 2%. There's a reason we all know when the number comes out in 2027 in October, the number that's really influenced by the Mike Sweetie Lucifer behavior, that that enrollment number is going to drop even more than the 2%
42:11 it dropped year over year this year because the 2% drop this year has nothing to do with the Sweeney case because we didn't figure out about the Sweeney case until June. And at that point, the classes were already determined for private schools of the fall. The real drop, ladies and gentlemen, is next year. How about we do a prop bet that's going to stay on the docket until October of next year? What do we expect the student population to drop? It dropped 1.7% within ACPS year over year. What's the Sweeney alleged sex assault drop population October next year?
42:43 If I put the over under at 2.7% are you taking the over or the under? I'd have to think about it. 3% the over or the under. I don't know. Where are you at with your action, viewers and listeners? I think it's the law of unintended consequences. It's the same thing we were talking about the other day with the zoning ordinance. and the fact that it has prioritized construction companies and developers to build student housing.
43:20 Rather than what they wanted it to do, it's doing this. And now we've got people complaining about the character of 10th and Page neighborhood being changed, the character of Fifeville changing. and I'm sorry, but you, you, you tossed a rock into the pond, and then you're surprised when you see ripples. Bingo, Judah Wickhauer, poignant and poetic. Beautiful. Sucinct, Judah, beautiful. Malcolm Inge watching the program. We need Malcolm's photo on screen if you have one. Man, comments are coming in faster than I can keep up. In fact, Malcolm's comment now is going down. My comet aggregator, so I'm now going to have to backtrack to find this comment. Malcolm's watching the program.
44:15 The CHS Charlottesville High School protest yesterday involved 900 students. A source inside the school told me that a large number of those students went to the McDonald's downtown and some of the other kids dispersed to other downtown mall venues. This source, obviously close to his family. was one of actually nine or ten students that showed up at the planned rally point on the downtown mall. A truancy student protest organized at a rally point downtown, and there was 10 kids there. The other ones were eating Big Macs and chicken tenders and French fries and vanilla milkshakes, or as 16, 17 or 18-year-old Jerry would do, hit up the, the,
45:13 you know, do some shoulder tapping outside the shitty kitty. And next thing you know after shoulder tapping outside the shitty kitty, you got a 12-pack or a rack of Natty Light, and then you go and try to find your buddies Matt, Spencer, Jennifer, Caroline, and see if there's a basement that you can go to. I mean, shoulder tapping always works. I'll kick you, I'll kick you $10. Get me this, right?
45:40 Very persuasive. You want to make an extra $10? Can you get me that rack? Guys, I got it. Let's go. Lonnie Murray watching the program. I will say here in Western Alamorrow, Lonnie Murray says, I will say that Western Amorrow is way behind, and I got a 130 real estate call. So I got nine minutes here. If you can hold me accountable on time here. Lonnie Murray says, I will say at Western Amorrow, the high school is way behind and needed improvements. Given the population increase in Crozet, either the real estate has to go up
46:13 or there needs to be some other source of revenue. Since a bunch of folks in adjoining counties shop in Almaro a sales tax is a cheaper way to fund that with less impact on existing residents. Lonnie, you're a very smart man. We are lucky to have you in Almaro County and the many roles that you hold, sir. I sincerely mean that. Can you please explain to the viewers and listeners why a school system with obviously dropping population student enrollment, why a school system that is spending some of the most per pupil in the entire Commonwealth. Why a school system that is seeing performance SOLs and other performance benchmarks considerably falls since pre-pandemic times? Why a school system with Bozo the Clown, with the Roadrunner and the coyote, and the three stooges?
47:08 Who are they? Larry, Moe, and Curley? Okay. Or champ. Okay. Rebecca Berlin, we're going to give her Is she Curley or Mo or Larry? I mean, there's six of them. So we got to name them. Berlin's what, Larry? Osborne is what? No, no, Kate a Cuff is what, Mo? Mo is the one in charge.
47:27 Curly's got to be what, Judy Lee? Or is Judy Lee the coyote? Which one's the smart one? Is it the coyote or the roadrunner? The roadrunner is a smart one, right? Coyote can catch the roadrunner. The coyote's got some wild schemes. I wouldn't say, you're stupid.
47:43 We'll take the coyote and the roadrunner out of it, okay? Can I keep the three stooges? There's six of them right now. I'm going to stop you from keeping them. Okay, I'm going to keep the three stooges. What other monikers do the board needs? Bozo? Is that the guy with the red clown?
48:01 Bozo the clown? With a red nose? Sure. Is it Bozo? I mean, there was a bozo the clown. Okay, so who else? Do we screech powers? Is Screech Powers? Samuel Powers? What of them?
48:15 I suppose I could see him in a... His wife loved Elvis. She had an Elvis bust in her house that they knocked over at a party that was irreplaceable. Kevin the robot, Screech Powers, had a crush on Lisa Turtles. She didn't give him the time of day. Screech Powers ended up whacking himself. Did he? He killed him.
48:33 Was it a suicide? How did Screech Powers die? How did Screech Powers die? Are you talking about the character or the actor? Oh, lung cancer? Diamond, Dustin Diamond is a non-smoker. Passed away 44 from lung cancer. Is that true?
48:49 Lung cancer? Okay, I take that back. He did whack himself. Small cell carcinoma? Carcinoma. Carcinoma? Thank you. That's why you're here for.
48:59 Hold me accountable. Goodness gracious. So we're going to go, Mo, Larry Curley, Screech Powers. Who else? Sure. Who else we got? Oh, man.
49:12 Who else fits with that? group. Sheesh. What about, what's his name, Green? He was big in the 90s. Who? Seth Green? No, not Seth Green.
49:31 Who from the Simpsons? Who else? The three stooges I already got? All right, you come up with those. We've got to come up with the names for him. But we're going to give them money. I guess I'm getting off track here. I'm sorry, I apologize.
49:43 We're going to give a school system whose population is declining. It's down year over a year. year, 1.7%. It's going to be down next year, probably double digit that percentage point. Those are facts on facts on facts. Furthermore, Weldon Cooper says the school population is going to drop even more. We're going to give a school system that is in the middle of the worst sex scandal, child sex scandal in Almore County history, Almore County history, we're going to give a school system that that has bozo the clown the three stooges and screech powers running its budget
50:23 tom green tom green oh that guy was funny we need tom green i didn't think so tom green more money okay we're going to give we're going to give uh a school system that has not recovered academically since pre-covid additional financial resources the same financial resources that are going to gentrify Almar County even more, a gentrification motivation that's going to yield more private school students and less public school students, which drives a negative snowball effect tied to enrollment, which is tied to state and federal funding, causing this cyclical effect, right? That's what we're going to go. We're going to tax the residents, driving the middle class out. the middle class is where the parents are
51:14 that have the kids in the public schools will replace the middle class because we're taxing them too much with more 10 percenters, 5 percenters, and 1 percenters who are going to further enroll in privates, diminishing enrollment in publics, diminishing funding from publics, diminishing funding from publics, drops performance at publics because less resources,
51:37 and it continues, and it continues, and it continues. and then you're basically Grinch, Connecticut. And that's why I've compared Charlottesville, Virginia, to the Menager-tois love child, that is Austin, Texas, Vail, and Greenwich
51:53 with Southampton, New York in the corner watching through the two-way mirror, watching the menagerie twas to happen. That's Charlottesville, the love child. That's Charlottesville right there. That doesn't make sense to me. Respectfully, sir.
52:11 tremendously respectfully. All right, I got four minutes left. What other headlines haven't we got to? Goodness gracious, I can't miss this call. Oh, let's go to Deep Throat. We're going to have to save the interest rate conversation until tomorrow. Ginny Who's photo on screen. Ginny Who says the sales tax referendum is on the ballot in 32 counties and 15 cities,
52:37 but I bet it is less likely pass in Green County. I mean, if there's a county that it's not going to pass in, green's a good one, right, Jenny? but eventually Ginny Who, and she knows this as well as I do, eventually Ginny Green County is going to be the middle class of Almaro. As Stanley Martin, a partner of the show. Did you know Stanley Barton's built more than 600 homes in the last two years locally, Judah?
52:59 Did you know Stanley Martin is building hundreds of homes and Green County hundreds? Hundreds of homes. Will middle class Almaro County that's gentrified out of Almaro because of escalated tax exposure, matriculate to Green County, for improved schools and affordable housing through Stanley Martin. Ginny also says,
53:21 I'm so sick and tired of hearing how buildings need to be better for kids to learn. I went to private school where first and third and fifth grade were in trailers and high school foreign languages at a prefab building. I received an excellent education because curriculum teachers were solid. Go, Ginny. Ginny is a T-C-I-S grad, I believe. Right? What school in the T-CIS did you go to?
53:44 Norfolk Academy? Was it N.A.? Ginny? It wasn't N.A. Wasn't N.A.? Let me know. Deep Throat. Deep Throat says this. Charlottesville High School. Young people like to feel righteous. Young people like to not be in school.
54:01 If you don't create a norm against walking out, kids are going to walk out. Personally, I don't feel great about paying an extra 1% sales tax to pay for school buildings when the students prefer to leave the building instead of studying in the buildings. Great point.
54:16 Good point. Deep throat. He also also says, I saw a deep throat yesterday. He also says non-to-mentioned. High schools and university admissions committees are constantly yapping about turning kids into change makers and leaders so they get even more encouragement to engage in
54:32 political psychodrama. I mean, for 16, 17, and 18-year-old Jerry, it was just about getting the rack of Natty Light and finding a basement with his buddies and some pretty girls. I'm going to the downtown meeting spot to protest this autocracy. Wink, wink, wink.
54:52 He's Judah Wickauer. I'm Jerry Miller. It's the number one media platform in Charlottesville. It's the I Love Seville Show.
