Good Friday afternoon, guys. I'm Jerry Miller, and thank you kindly for joining us on the I Love Seville Show.
We appreciate you watching and listening to the water cooler of content and conversation in Charlottesville, Central Virginia, the Commonwealth, and the country.
We are spreading our wings content-wise on this network and offering a lens of coverage that is broader than Central Virginia, but we do it in a way that brings back the attention to our community.
A couple things I want to get off my chest first.
We'll talk about the Noah Cawfin interview from yesterday.
Explosive interview undoubtedly has gone viral.
Undoubtedly has had commentary from viewers and listeners on both sides of the political aisle.
This interview with Noah Cawfin, one of our most watched interviews that we've done on the network
and the engagement.
You've seated on social media.
It legitimately was the top piece of content in 2026 in the entire region.
And that's just facts.
You're not going to find a piece of content locally
that had the level of engagement
that the Noah Kaufan interview,
the TPUSA, Western Amaral High School,
founder and chapter president,
you know,
that followed him in the show yesterday.
I mean, it was just explosive.
And for obvious reasons,
Erica Kirk and TPUSA are divisive.
Trump is divisive.
Politics can be combative and nasty.
and Amaral County Public Schools are frankly searching for an identity.
We all must realize that the Almaral County Public School System
is desperately searching for an identity
as if they were a young child that slipped into the deep end of a swimming pool
and they are currently fighting and gasping for air
and on the cusp of drowning.
Enrollment numbers are concerning.
politics are a battlefield. There are landmines everywhere, and it's time to start utilizing terminology
like totalitarianism in Amarral County Public Schools. I'll offer a definition of totalitarianism on
the program today and ask you, the viewer and listener, if this sounds familiar. The process or the
act of totalitarianism is the absolute unrestrained control of,
over all aspects of public and private life,
aiming to dominate citizens' beliefs and actions
characterized by single-party rule,
a dictator, propaganda, and total suppression of opposition.
We're going to have an uncomfortable conversation on the show today.
Do our elected officials want to make the suppression of the opposition
a reality in our public school system.
I watched yesterday's Almeral County School Board meeting on live stream,
and constantly the school board members were hiding under the disguise
of other school systems are doing this.
Other public school systems are doing this.
This is the policy in place at this school system.
This is the policy in place at Fairfax County Public Schools.
And you know what?
I call absolute bullshit here.
when you're an elected official and you need to reference other policies that are in place for public school systems across the Commonwealth,
as opposed to being a leader here in Almorel County, one of the most expensive counties.
The amount that taxpayers are spending per pupil to educate students within ACPS is at top the charts in the Commonwealth of Virginia,
well over $20,000 a year to educate an individual student within Almaral County Public Schools.
And yesterday, shame on the school board members who constantly were hiding behind other systems are doing this,
so we should follow suit.
That's BS.
And shame on Almaro County Public School administrators, who frankly said what we're doing now has nothing to do
with the fact that Erica Kirk is coming to Western Amaral High School to speak.
And I don't care what your politics are if you're a liberal, if you're a conservative, a Democrat, or a Republican.
The expression of free speech, the pursuit of the First Amendment, should be an equitable playing field,
regardless of the ideology or the topic matter.
I'll say it again. I'll say it loud. I'll say it proud. If it makes you uncomfortable, it's okay.
the expression of freedom of speech and the pursuit of the First Amendment
should be on an equitable playing field regardless of your ideology or the topic matter.
If Barack Obama, if Joe Biden, if the late Jesse Jackson or Malcolm X,
want to speak at Western Amarral High School, awesome.
why wouldn't we have them speak and roll out the red carpet?
And if you don't like the topic matter or the content, don't show up to listen or to watch.
If Erica Kirk or Victoria Cobb or the late Charlie Kirk went to speak at Western Amoreal High School,
awesome.
Why wouldn't we have them speak?
And if you don't like the topic matter, don't show up to watch and listen.
We'll unpack that topic today on the I Love Seville Show.
We'll talk on the program.
What did you call it?
It was beautifully well said, Judah.
The unadulterated vitriol from adults,
otherwise civilized humans,
as it applied to a 17-year-old minor
on yesterday's show.
Are you two-shotted?
No, not yet.
Some of whom I have respect for.
I still have respect for.
You said it better than I would.
I was going to say some of whom,
let me get myself on screen real quick,
I was going to say some of whom I've formerly had great respect for
and have seen making comments that I can't reconcile with the people that I thought I knew.
I mean, these are people ascribing horrific, what, character traits to not just, not just Noah Coffin, a 17-year-old high school student.
A child, but to an entire swath of America.
I mean, people just making blanket statements about, I mean, calling out what, people saying that, saying supporters of child pornography, people talking about just the thing is that discussed, I think, all of us.
and making it as though, you know, somehow turning point USA is the center point for all of this in America.
Our firm is 18 years old in May.
In May of this year, the Miller Organization and what you know as I Love Seville is 18 years old.
We make our living in large part.
because we understand social media and digital marketing
humbly, very humbly,
better than just about anyone in a 300,000 person region
and just about anyone in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
And I mean that humbly and factually.
Did you know there is not a social media,
digital marketing, podcasting version of a talk show
that's five days a week on the same time of every day,
and the entire Commonwealth of Virginia,
except for the I Love Seville Show?
We're the only one that does this.
Across all platforms, our following is more robust and deeper
than any brand-in platform except for the University of Virginia in the region.
And as someone who makes his living on social and on digital and on mobile,
I say this with sadness.
Keyboard muscles and anonymity online have de-heaseless.
dehumanized
American culture.
And yesterday
I watched as adults
men and women
that have children that are Noah's
age, if not older
and certainly younger.
Rip a young
man who's a senior at
Western Amoral High School as if
they knew him and as
if he was a convicted
criminal, a felon.
Yeah.
and it was sickening regardless of politics.
And I want the viewers and listeners that are watching this program,
I don't care if you're a Democrat, a liberal, a Republican, a conservative, a libertarian.
I don't care if you're Southern Baptist, Jewish, Protestant, Catholic, atheist, agnostic.
I do care that we are all afforded the same rights and rights.
freedoms. And our society is based on one that prioritizes freedom of speech and expression. And we
understand that consequences come with freedom of speech and expression. You want to say something
and that thing you're saying is nasty or racist. There will be ramifications. But attacking a minor
without ever meeting him,
based on an association,
boggles my mind.
And the Almorel County School Board
yesterday on a dais,
on a live stream,
on the record,
on something that will live
on the internet forever.
And the internet, ladies and gentlemen,
is our digital tombstone.
Our children,
our grandchildren,
our grandchildren's children,
and the family tree
that is yet to be born,
we'll get to know the Judah Wickhowers and the Jerry Miller's of the world,
the viewers and listeners that are watching this program by searching your name online.
And some of it is good, some of it's bad, some of it's ugly,
but it's the digital tube stone.
And what the Almore County School Board is doing, led by Allison Spillman,
and it's paramount we understand that Allison Spillman,
the at-large representative on the Almore County School Board is leading this charge.
She really stepped in the, you know what, at the end of last year,
when she compared the TPUSA chapter at Western Armoural High School to the Ku Klux Klan.
She stepped in it, a huge pile of it, a stinky, warm, nasty pile of it.
She stepped in it.
And she continues to do it.
And for the school board yesterday, on the record, on the dais, on the live stream, in person,
with the cooperation of Almaro County administrators.
They are all in cahoots to say this new policy we're pushing has nothing to do with Erica Kirk.
It's disingenuous.
It's hypocritical.
Victoria Cobb and T.P. USA Western Almorel started the trend.
The school board didn't like Victoria Cobb in what she stood for.
Erica Kirk, she was the hammer that pushed the trend.
forward the driving force of the trend and at the next school board meeting this coming
thursday school board members will vote on policy and will probably approve this in either
unanimous capacity i hope to god jim dylan back who's watching this program who's come on the
show jim jim dillen back excuse me if you're watching this program you have come on the show if you do
not offer a dissenting vote on this i will be disappointed in you sir
I would be, my worldview would be flipped upside down if he didn't, if he didn't dissent on the vote.
Jim Dillembeck, you're with.
But at the same time, he is one vote.
He should paper the trail, pepper the record with a dissenting vote.
On Thursday of this coming week in six days, the Amar County School Board is going to castrate First Amendment expression in eradicate freedom of speech.
from student club organizations within Al Morrow County Public Schools.
And also attempt to abscond with their money if they see fit?
Al Morrow County Public Schools will be able to dissolve clubs as they see fit.
We'll be able to dissolve clubs and take their money as they see fit.
They don't even have to take the money after dissolving them.
I believe what they're voting on.
is all of the money going into a general fund.
100% held in a coffer beforehand.
If you raise money from private citizens,
if you raise money from business owners,
you are out with a fold-up card table
and you're selling t-shirts or cookies or baked goods
or you are using social media to tell the world
that there's going to be a car wash
on the corner of
4th and Market Streets in
downtown Charlottesville
because the I Love Seville
studio has a courtyard
that they own,
a building that they own,
and they're willing to give you two hours of
lease-free, rent-free time
in their courtyard.
And folks can pull up their automobiles
and their vehicles, and 16- and 17-year-olds
and 15-year-olds are going to wash your cars
and ask you for a donation.
cash VEMO PayPal.
That money from the sweat equity of washing cars and trucks and SUVs must be controlled and allocated
to an Almoreau County managed bank account and then allocated to student clubs as
administrator C-fit.
This is the definition.
And if you push back, push back on me.
And I want to highlight on the program, ladies and gentlemen, the fine folks.
at Charlottesville Sanitary Supply and Charlottesville Swimming Pool Company.
Online at Charlestfulanitary Supply.com, an e-commerce store where you could buy anything
cleaning or sanitary related and it will be delivered to your doorstop, ladies and gentlemen,
the same day at no charge, at price points that beat the big box brands.
Charlottesfellanitary Supply.com.
You should be supporting the businesses that have been in operation locally for 62 years
that are owned and operated by a family that lives in Almoreal County for five generations,
a company run by three generations of vermillion family members.
And there's swimming pool companies, the consultation, or the concieres of anything swimming pool related in central Virginia,
Charlottesville Swimmingpool Company.com.
Totalitarianism.
Totalitarianism.
I'm going to read the definition for the viewer and listener.
A system of government that exerts absolute unrestrained control over all aspects of public and private life aiming
to dominate citizens' beliefs and actions.
It is characterized by single-party rule,
a dictator, a terroristic police, propaganda,
and or total suppression of the opposition.
Examples of totalitarianism from our past,
North Korea under the Kim dynasty,
the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin,
Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler,
and fascist Italy under Mussolini.
What the Almarl County School Board is trying to do
and the public school system in Almarl, Virginia,
is the second cousin of totalitarianism.
It's the little brother of totalitarianism,
where elected officials, school board members,
and their cronies will dictate the pace and tempo
of any First Amendment or form of,
expression
control the money, control who can speak,
when they can speak, when the club can meet,
what it can do with its calendar,
what it can do with its location of choice,
what it can do with its membership,
its curriculum, its agenda,
everything must be approved.
And I'm going to say something that's going to irritate the hell
out of a lot of people.
But the reason this platform works,
this long form content, this water cooler of content and conversation, is because you know when I speak,
I'm cutting through the BS and could care less what the response is. If you are a family of means
or if you have the opportunity in any capacity, it would seem to me that you were thinking not once,
not twice, not three times, but a dozen times of why your student is enrolled in this public school
system. I would reference SOL scores. I would reference
indoctrination, totalitarianism. I would reference
the rise of homeschooling. That is up 50% since COVID. The spike in
private school enrollment, they are exploding with engagement and
enrollment, the private schools locally. I would reference
the falling contribution from the Commonwealth of Virginia funding
public schools because enrollment is down. I would reference
Weldon Cooper data that suggests
enrollment's going to fall even more.
I would reference antiquated classroom
equipment, antiquated textbooks,
antiquated HVAC systems.
I would reference
an inexplicable
battle with school resource officers,
this absurd notion that former Mayor
Nakaya Walker is pumping a pipeline
to prison, school resource officers,
give me an eff and break there.
I would reference the fact that principals and vice principals and school board members and delegates,
Virginia delegates, have pulled their kids.
Former school board chairwomen, Katrina Colson, pulled their kids from public schools that put them in private schools.
You know, there's this, there's these, there's this notion of being an insider, right?
A lot of investors, astute investors, Judah.
utilize what's called edge or alpha.
And what alpha or edge is seeking alpha with investing in the stock market.
When you're seeking alpha, you are seeking an edge on why your allocation of capital, your dry powder,
should be utilized with this certain stock equity.
It's called seeking alpha.
One of the ways you can seek alpha is by watching what folks that work,
for these publicly traded companies are doing
with their own money. If
C-suite or upper management with
these publicly traded companies
are unloading...
Yeah, if they're selling stock in their own company,
you should be worried about that company.
If they're buying stock in that
company every year, then
I would guess that that company
is probably a safe bet
for the foreseeable future.
That's a way to seek alpha.
If an employee of a company
is buying stock,
additional stock in that company, and they have to tell the world, because that's the rules that they're doing it, that's one way to seek alpha.
One way to seek alpha locally edge in Almore County Public Schools is what is the former chairwoman of the Almore County School Board doing with her students?
With her kids.
What are vice principals and principals at Almore County Public Schools doing with their kids?
what are current school board members doing with their kids
that's seeking alpha
comments are coming in aggressively
and quickly
this comment comes in from someone who's extremely connected
this proposed policy which will
do you see it
I see Jim Dillenbeck is the only one that's voting no on Thursday
besides Dillenbeck everyone else is going to vote yes on the school board
I can't imagine
I can't imagine the vote going a different way
This comment says this proposed policy is going to substantially hurt all student clubs, not just TPUSA.
Want to live in a society and a community where we have choice on who is speaking.
And I want to live in a society in a community where the next generation of leaders are empowered and have autonomy.
And are taught to think for themselves.
so they're not just leaders because they're the most outspoken in a particular subject or field,
but because we respect what they say.
Because we've heard them and we've seen them struggle with the implications of,
I mean, this is what we should all be doing, is discussing things and saying,
okay, I feel you're wrong here, but you make a really good point there,
and maybe I need to rethink my view on this subject.
But largely what I see is people just making blanket statements,
making blanket judgments on groups of people,
on anything without any critical thought.
And there's no, I don't see any proof.
You know, I go looking.
I see all these people talking about, you know,
this is bad or this is good or whatever.
and I go looking for proof.
And when all I find are like single sentence blurbs taken out of context,
it makes me leery of anything,
it makes me leery of whoever is pushing these one sentence like,
here's the data.
Like, am I supposed to, what am I supposed to do with that?
Comments are coming in quickly.
Let's go to,
YouTube. Quinn Hardiman
4810 on YouTube.
Jerry, I have a question for you. Does this
mean if I give a dollar to a certain
club, it could then be allocated
to another club? Yes, absolutely.
That's what it means. That's certainly
the way it looks. That's absolutely
what it means. Okay.
The club that is doing the fundraising
will lose autonomy
over the dollars they raise.
And if you, as a business,
a nonprofit, an organization,
a family, a citizen, allocate contributions to student clubs, and we do it all the time,
that money may not go directly to that club.
William McChesney watching the program.
He said, I simply asked a question yesterday during the interview about the diversity of the group of 700 people
that attended the TPSA meeting, the last one, and someone jumped on me and said it was a racist question.
What in the world is happening to our community, William McChesney says.
I agree.
The people that said the 700 that were in attendance at the last TPSA meeting were overwhelmingly white and that's a problem.
Dude, 85% of the Western Al-Moral student body is white.
Western Al-Moral High School is overwhelmingly white.
85% of the student body, just Google it online are white.
someone to say a blanket
statement that 700 kids
who showed up to the T.P. USA meeting
the last one are all
one skin color and that's a problem.
You are
just not in touch with reality
or basic metrics
or can't use
Google.
Even more than that though.
I think going
to Bill McChesney's
question, I think it's
I've seen exactly what he's talking about over and over and over and over again with responses in feeds being vitriol.
Vitriol, unasked for vitriol.
How can you respond that way?
How can you call someone a racist for asking a question?
that's i think part of the problem is that there's we're we're too easy with our slurs and yes
calling someone a racist is a slur you're you're making a value judgment on what someone asking a
question it's the collateral damage of social media and mobile interaction the dehumanizing of
society we now say and do things online that we otherwise would never do in person we can
blame a lot of it on that, but I think there are a lot of people that are just too easy with
pointing the finger at other people. And, you know, just we do a lot of forecasting on the program.
That's one of the things you, the viewer and listener like is the forecasting. How's this for a
forecast for you? You open up the Daily Progress online, DailyProgress.com. There's a headline.
Virginia homeschooling
nears 66,000 students.
It's up nearly 50% since the pandemic,
homeschooling.
Every private school in Charleston
in Almoreland, Central Virginia
is cap-X spending
or fundraising to build more
infrastructure to accommodate larger student bodies.
Private school enrollment is upticking.
Walden Cooper straight up is talking about
the public school systems locally in the region
where enrollment is falling.
and straight up falling.
Look at the Welding Cooper data.
These are people that do demigraphicking, whatever the word is,
for a living.
Look it up.
You can find it online.
It's an easy Google search.
24 to 36 months, you're going to have an influx of the top 10% of wealth,
new wealth, incremental citizens,
moving to this community tied to biotechnology
and a biotechnology beltway that Glenn Yonkin put in place.
That's going to connect Rockingham County,
Albemarle County and Goochland County driving thousands.
I've been told 6 to 8,000 of incremental residents
that are the top 10% of wealth locally
that are going to pursue private schools
and cannibalize housing inventory.
It's going to get wealthier around here.
If we do not see the writing on the wall
that public school enrollment over the next 24 to 36 months
is going to fall and funding for these public schools
is going to drop,
you are just not common sense-oriented individuals.
And then you start pepper,
all these political landmines
atop
the basics, the facts, the
trends. Political
landmine, I'm just going to be
extremely straightforward on the show right now. Are you
ready for, I'm going to...
Sure. I have
yet, I've been
in this community 26 years
in August. I arrived as a first
year at the University of Virginia in August
of 2000. Old
dorms, Daveny 101.
raised in Williamsburg, Virginia.
I've 26 years in this community in August.
It's my home.
I've gone from 19-year-old troublemaker,
closing down the bars,
womenizing, bar hopping,
to engage married father of two.
More responsibilities on my plate than ever before.
Pressure, stress, would not have it any other way.
our children, our hearts walking outside our bodies.
Bring me joy and anger all within the same five-minute period of time.
All parents can relate to that.
In those 26 years that I've been in this community,
there's been two individuals that have divided the community
to the tune of division or divisiveness that I've never seen in my entire life.
The first one was Nakaya Walker, the former mayor of Charlottesville.
The second one in just a short period of time is Allison Spillman.
She is nearly single-handedly changing the brand, the narrative, the pace and tempo and direction
of what was otherwise a well-funded, stable, high-performing, consistent balanced school system.
ACPS, as we know it today, is one of political landmines,
indoctrination, and frankly, the second cousin of totalitarianism.
And if you want the best advertisement possible for private schools,
it's not 30-second advertisements on the I Love Seville Show,
like the success Jerry Rackleff is having at Jerry Rackleff.com,
with his transition to a paywall.
The best content possible is on Jerry Rackleff.com
for anything UVA related.
I read his paywalled website every day.
It's $8 a month for me,
and it's some of the best $8 I spend every 30 days.
Football and basketball coverage,
exclusive coverage.
Coverage you can't get anywhere else at jerryoracliff.com.
If you're an orange and blue fan, that's who you read.
The best advertisement for any brand or business locally
is not a 30-second spot in this program if you're a private school. It's doing nothing and allowing
Allison Spillman to do the work for you. And we will reflect, not tomorrow, not next month,
not at the end of the year, maybe at the end of her term, certainly within four or five years.
we will reflect and we will pinpoint,
just like we did when Walker was out of office
as mayor of Charlottesville,
as that was the point or things got real bad.
And then we'll utilize data like dropping enrollment,
and then we'll point to that data
as the gentrification of education
and a widening gap of learning
that drives generational impacts and influences.
generational.
And for anyone who's watching this program,
I supported
the ICE
student protest.
I encouraged
students to protest against
immigration and customs enforcement.
I did not,
did not support ICE
truancy
student protests.
I am a firm believer.
Geez, have you listened to
this show of freedom of speech in First Amendment? Do you hear the commentary I offer
Monday through Friday in the region's top media platform? It embodies expression and freedom of speech
in the First Amendment. The entire show is based on it. That's why it works. What I am not a
supporter as a father of an eight-year-old as a father of a three-year-old is missing school and
class time. Not just missing it, but
administration allowing kids to leave the school.
Now we're hearing it's happening at Lakeside
Middle School. Where the principal's sending out
a protocol of how to do the protesting.
This is not happening at private schools.
They're not missing classroom time to protest.
Comments put them in the feed. Judea Wickcarrier, you go first,
and we'll get to the comments. Me go first, man.
I don't know what's going to come with this.
I appreciate the honest discussion in our comment feeds,
weeding out the people that just mindlessly call names
and put people down because of a difference of opinion.
That leads nowhere.
I appreciate.
I've had one of our viewers reach out to me
and ask me to have tacos.
Juan Sarmiento.
And beer.
I wasn't going to name names.
That's who was.
Well, he put it in the comment section.
Everyone saw it.
Okay.
Well, and I appreciate that because I appreciate a good discussion.
And it doesn't mean that I have to change my mind.
It doesn't mean the other person has to change their mind.
But there is the potential there that one or the other of us will
say something that's meaningful or true or just impactful.
And minds can change.
But sitting around calling people names and acting like somehow someone with a different
opinion than you is evil is going to destroy us.

Fontini Burns 8310 on YouTube says this is what will happen
people will just stop donating that's what happened when they decided to pull
together all PTA funds into one bucket for all schools people just stop don't
donating. Fontini Burns, 8310 says, I personally just switched to donating directly to my child's teachers, class wishless, rather than the entire school. I wouldn't be surprised if school groups started taking donations offline.
Now, what TPUSA should do, what the Western Amarro Democrats should do, the Western Amar Student Democrat Club, the Western Amarro Student Republican,
club should do, what the Western Nomeral LBGTQ club should do, what the Western
Nomoral, is there a straight club?
There's a Western Nomeral LGBTQ club.
Is there a Western Amoreal Street Club?
You know, what the Western Amoral key club should do, forensics club should do,
speech and debate club should do, the Western Amarro, Rock Paper Scissors Club should do,
the Western Amoural Flying Chest Bump Club should do.
the Western Amar yarn-making club should do.
Did you start all these clubs?
The club that I started was not a club that I could say online.
Terrorized my parents.
You should just take your club off school grounds.
Yeah.
You should do private donating.
You should not have a public speaker on school grounds.
You should do all your meetings, all your gatherings, all your club
activity off school grounds, use signal or discord or some kind of private communication method,
completely eradicate and remove Alamara County public schools from the process altogether.
If Alamara County and its school board and Dr. Matthew Haas and the superintendent's office
and his lieutenants and the lawyers are trying to castrate you of power and influence
and freedoms and First Amendment expression, your counterattack.
is this.
You want to do this to us?
We're going to take you completely out of the equation.
Move underground.
We're going to go to higher ground.
And we'll win this battlefield, this war,
from a top of this grassy knoll.
While you're down there in the mud,
that's what you should do.
Take them out of the equation.
you don't be crazy
as if
these student clubs took the school board
out of the equation and then the
school board is just on the dais like
is there a way
for us to
police the donations
and the agenda and the
content with what these
clubs are doing at
far downers or at
Crozay
Park or
in the parking lot of
pro ronada or at croze pizza or what are we supposed to do that's what you should do just organize and
strategize and outthink them that's what i would have done that's literally what i would have done if i was
these kids in high school bet my life i would have done that and the folks would have followed with me
doing it guarantee t d layman says form of 501c3 carroll thoreau
Thorpe says they should get John Whitehead, the attorney, involved with this.
Oh, well, they've got an attorney, I have no doubt.
Hague Martin says this.
I would, I would, I would, I would love to see TPA, TPSA National go toe to toe to
with the Almore County Public School System in some kind of legal fight.
I wouldn't, because that's our money that they're fighting with.
It's just going to continue.
My family's paying for school twice.
our oldest is going
at 25K a year's second grade.
So why would you want to pay more?
Because one day we would consider
if the baseline change
public schools.
And it's not going to change as is.
Yeah.
I can assure you
we wouldn't be funding the fight ourselves.
But I don't think...
It's like a con and HOA.
This building, I own a third
in change of a building
on the downtown mall.
The building we're in now.
By the bylaws
of the HOA,
I, because of my ownership stake,
control the HOA.
Vote-wise,
putting people on the board-wise,
and that keeps lenders,
that makes lenders weary
of lending money into this building
if people want to buy into the building
because one person has autonomy
and control of the association.
I'm of the mindset.
Let's vote for the money that's in the coffers for CAP-X improvement.
Let's make the elevator better.
Let's paint the outside of the building.
Let's redo the courtyards.
Let's redo the roof.
Let's do the lobby.
Let's remodel the hallways.
Let's change the lighting.
Let's redo the bathrooms.
Let's remodel everything.
Let's make it great.
People say to me, why are you pushing all this?
Because we all benefit from it.
I also know that it's only a third of my money and 67% of everybody else's.
So I'm getting all this new awesome stuff done at 33 cents on the dollar.
And those additional amenities driving up rents and making the model more profitable at no additional money to me.
Same thing with the school system.
TPSA go after ACPS.
Taxpayers will front the bill, but they're going to front the bill in small peanuts
as opposed to covering it all themselves,
and if the baseline changes and the amenities improved,
in this case it would be the indoctrination of students
or the eradication of the political landmines,
then maybe the private school parents
that are paying 25K for second grade
would consider Mary Weather Lewis.
Oh, sorry, it's not Mary Weather Lewis anymore.
It's Ivy Elementary now.
And pretty soon it's going to be PS9 or PS3 and PS11.
instead of Virginia Marie
instead of
Mary Weather Lewis
what are the other rebrandings they've done
I just drove by one the other day
Lakeside
Summit Summit
Summit Mountain View
let's call it Lakeside
there's no lake by the school
but we'll call it Lakeside anyway
make it makes sense
good craziness
handsome Hank Martin watching the program

as long as Allison
Billman drives this agenda, the trajectory is obvious.
One day in a few years, you and Judah will be discussing the SCOTUS decision of Noah Kaufan
versus Almore County Public Schools.
And as a taxpayer, I hate to see the money go out to fight this fight, but obviously it needs
to be and it needs to get done.
So at least let's get this over with and rip the Band-Aid off.
Juan Sarmento watching the program.
He and I had a little squabble back and forth.
And when it's all sudden done,
Juan Sarmiento is a good human being.
No doubt.
He said,
T.P. USA should absolutely have Erica Kirk speak
but at a location off-school grounds
and make it a fundraising event.
Why a fundraising event?
If it's a fundraising event for TPSA
and its off-school grounds,
that money should not go to ACPS.
If I was T-P-USA, this is what I would be doing.
And I was Noah Cawthon.
This is what I would be doing.
I would say we are no longer going to do anything in Elmore County Public Schools.
We're going to take every effort, sweat equity, any strategy that we're going to do,
and we're going to do it at a different location.
And we're going to pick a location.
Maybe you even consider renting a conference room or some kind of event space.
And we're going to do a nominal fee at the door if you'd like to hear our speakers speak.
$5 to enter
and that $5, $10 to enter
to hear Victoria Cobb, Erica Kirk,
whoever the hell it is, is going to go
to the TPUSA Western Armoural High School
chapter bank account
that is going to have zero influence
or zero control
or zero ties to Almore County Public Schools.
I would bet you that bank account
would be funded
so quickly that Western Admiral
TPSA,
that local chapter,
could eventually build its own location.
Maybe they'll build their own school.
Like the Elks Lodge, or like the Moose Lodge, or like the Ruritan Club.
You can take this totalitarianism that is ACPS and what it's trying to pursue.
And it's like this.
It's like the rules of war.
If they're big and strong, then you're...
If they're big and strong, then they're slow.
so you're small and nimble and quick.
All right.
It's 124.
We have other things that we need to get to.
Was it Kale Elementary down Avon extended?
Kale?
Now Mountain View.
With the sea.
With the sea?
Not named after the year.
I don't know what it's named for, what it was named for.
Other pieces of content that we want to highlight on the water cooler of content and conversation.
We want to highlight 919 Druid Avenue.
It's for sale right now.
It's got a $699,000 asking.
price. 919 Druid Avenue. Katie Mullins, Ben Mullins, Chris Coiner, 919, Druid Avenue for sale in
Belmont. Basement apartment, income producing, basement apartment, and 919 Druid Avenue. This home,
I'm going to put it in perspective why I think this is an incredible value. This home is asking $699,000.
It's four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and it's 2,200 square feet in Belmont.
Today, ladies and gentlemen, today on Avon, today on Avon Street, there was a home that came on the market for 799,000, 100,000 more than 919 Druid Avenue.
And this home is smaller in bed count, three beds versus Druid Avenue's four beds.
it's two and a half baths at 1105 Avon Street
versus the three and a half baths at 919 Druitt Avenue
and ladies and gentlemen this home is
700 square feet smaller
and it's 100,000 square foot more
it's $100,000 more
this is called a cop
you look at what
Monroe Allen with Frank Hardy is asking and I'm not throwing shade on this
listing I want all
homes to sell for whatever one buyer is willing to pay for it. It's called a free market.
But 1105 Avon Street is asking 800 grand for three bedrooms, two and a half baths and
1,490 square feet on a smaller lot where 919 Druitt Avenue is four beds, three and a half
baths, 700 square feet more and three times the lot for 100 grand less. This is an effing steel
right here and it will have an eight handle in front of it in 24 to 36 months when this biotechnology
money comes into play. What I would be doing, what I would be doing if I was this and I didn't have
kids, four kids and a wife didn't live in Ivy right now, two kids, excuse me, two kids in a wife and lived
in Ivy is, is I would be, my wife and I would be buying this, living on the top, running out the
basement, keeping this for two years, and at the two-year marker, three-year
marker selling it, and as a married couple being able to write off $500,000 in capital gains,
and then doing it again, rinse and repeat.
That's what we'd be doing if we were 10 years younger and childless.
Chad Wood is watching the program.
What the Almore County School Board is doing is not about caring for kids, it's about
total control.
It's totalitarianism.
The definition of totalitarianism,
a system of government that exerts
absolute and unrestrained control
over all aspects of public and private
life aiming to dominate citizens'
beliefs and actions, characterized
by a single party rule, a dictator,
propaganda, total suppression
of the opposition.
And it's hypocrisy because of what Spillman
stands for as the mom of a trans
child.
items that we need to get out of the notebook.
Scott Beardsley's been affirmed,
headline on screen, confirmed, confirmed, confirmed by the Board of Visitors
as the official president of the University of Virginia.
And this is a Spamberger appointed board.
Beardsley's in, the money talks,
Beardsley's the guy,
all the professors that try to strike and unionize
and collective bargain against Beardsley
and this hastily
done appointment by the former board
led by Yonkin are now eating crow.
And at this point,
never in the history of the University of Virginia
have UVA faculty
been marginalized or disenfranchised
than they are today.
The president that they wanted, Jim Ryan,
was kicked out.
The president that they hated,
the opposite of Jim Ryan, was in.
And then he was affirmed.
and confirmed by a Democrat-led B-O-V.
Who are now going over the processes of finding a president so that...
They're reviewing the processes of what led to Beardsley's higher.
Yeah.
They're not pushing Beardsley out.
Right.
The faculty at the University of Virginia,
you have never been more disenfranchised or marginalized than you are today.
Period.
Bar not.
Next headline, what do you got, Judah Wickcar?
Next, we've got South Street Brewery.
South Street Brewery is closing.
Did you know that this is the area's oldest brewery?
Did you know South Street Brewery is the oldest brewery in Charlottesville, the oldest brewery in the region?
It's been in continuous operations since 1998.
Its last day is, what, April 6th?
Yeah.
it is i believe it was it's been run by blue mountain brewer taylor smack blue mountain brewery he got
his start in beer making as a brewmaster at south street a long long time ago he purchased south
street brewery to save it from collapse from the previous owner taylor smack the last 12 years right
yeah it's closing april 6 they're looking for someone to buy it i'm a business there is no i'm going
be straight up straightforward here.
There's no firm in central Virginia that is doing more volume of business,
brokerage business than this firm and the person you're watching and listening to right now.
How we make our living is not a podcast in this media platform.
We launched this media platform as a way to drive awareness and business for our brokerage
and dealmaking and consultancy business.
What happened, it became a news desert locally because of the collapse of print, radio,
on television, legacy media, and as we talk consistently about local news and topic matter,
the podcasting and media company took off, and now it's very profitable.
We're vertically integrating it with our consultancy in our brokerage business
by utilizing the same labor pool and same resources to drive awareness for the company in
totality that's called vertical integration. Economy is a scale. There is no firm locally that is
brokering more business sale transactions than this one. And I can assure you as a business broker,
when someone post on social media, hey, we're closing, and then the next sentence says,
oh, by the way, we want somebody to buy the business from us, you've lost your leverage of
selling the business. And there clearly was an attempt beforehand.
to sell the business before the closing announcement.
Because no one with business acumen says,
unless it's the last final straw
and they're actually closing,
that we're closing,
oh, please buy the business from us.
You try to sell it before making the closing announcement.
It's called leverage.
And the Danny O'Days of the world,
he was kind of going back and forth.
Oh, it's not closing.
And I'm like, Danny, tell us you don't know much about business
without saying you don't know much about business.
but then I just didn't want to get in a back and forth with him on
it's always on my personal Facebook never have I toggled over to his
this is sad yeah and what is not being discussed and why you watch and listen to the
show is the South Street brewery is the connection to Ix Park and expanding
foot traffic and pedestrian and customer traffic off the mall toward kind of that
portion of downtown it was a
bridge. Bang Tapas
is another bridge.
Bang.
Now that monolucos gone.
Right. In business since 1998.
And I'm telling you right now, the word on the street is there's another very established
brewery that's closing.
Not my news to break.
And there's some posting on the owner of the livery stables
Facebook page that the last day for livery stables, April 1.
aren't we expecting that entire building to be raised?
Tire building is going to get knocked down,
is going to be made into a hotel.
Built by Jeff Levine,
the developer from Manhattan,
who developed the apartment complex
next to University Tire on West Main Street,
the home of formerly Blue Moon Diner,
now soon to be Maggie's in Midtown.
A pub.
Jeff Levine.
Building a hotel in the shadows of the Omni.
The vacancies are becoming more prolific.
The next thing.
next headline is Barbersville.
Yep.
Barbersville Vineyards
has sold to an investor group.
This is a very different story, though.
I believe most of the
management is sticking
around. The former
winemaker there is going
to stick around as the
manager, as the head of
whatever, and
one of the other winemakers
is going to continue on as a winemaker
and there's someone else.
I can't remember, but at least three members of management are sticking with the group.
Winemaker Danielle Tesaro and Vineyard Manager Fernando Franco,
both will continue their current roles in Luca Pashina,
the general manager and head winemaker at Barbersville,
is sticking around to run the place.
So I think that's good news.
The investor group hasn't been named as far as I know.
But they are not invested in any other wine-making industry interests,
and they want to see this do well.
So hopefully Barbersville will stick around,
especially considering the fact that there, what is it,
I think they're 2017, one of their 2017 wines,
Octagon, I believe, has recently become one of the top 50,
American wines based on
I mean, how about the fact that Barbersville Vineyards
has been around since 1976?
That too.
How about the fact that Barbersville Vineyards
was the anchor or the driver,
the momentum behind the Virginia wine industry?
How about the fact that if you want a pioneer
for Virginia wine, you point out Barbersville Vineyards first?
Yeah.
the headwinds are extremely obvious when it comes to alcohol,
beer, wine, cider, liquor, you name it.
This young, this Gen Alpha, Gen Z generation is not drinking.
They're pursuing Cali Sober lifestyles.
They are not drinking.
And who has driven around town, Almore County, Charlottesville,
wherever you're watching this program,
there's nine states watching the show right now, Judah.
Who is driving around?
and is noticed in the last week.
Locally, I saw gas this time last Friday at $2.79.
Gas today, $3.49.
We are talking...
I was getting it for under $3.
It's a 70 cent increase in gas.
Yesterday, I stopped at my normal spot, and it was, I think it was $3.49.
And I was like, well, I just drove by two gas stations where it's 319.
so I turn around and I want somewhere else.
I don't know how long that's going to last though.
Get your 320 gas while it's there.
Gas jumping 75 cents at a week.
0.75 15 gallons in the family Ford Explorer.
0.75 times 15.
That's $11.25 more to fill up in a week.
What happens when gas starts knock, knock, knock in on heaven's door,
and by this, it's hell's door of $4 a gallon.
Trump has said this war in Iran will last five weeks at the bare minimum.
Trump this morning, on all the national networks, the only way I will stop war in Iran
is if Iran unconditionally surrenders.
Are we in a world where it's going to be $4 plus gas?
What does $4 plus gas do to the real estate market?
What does it do to food and beverage?
It's going to affect everything because gas is how we get things from,
point A to point B, and every product you buy has to get from point A to point B.
The first tax on Americans is gasoline. Gasoline. Groceries, gasoline. Restaurants, gasoline.
Kids to school, gasoline. Kids to the doctors. Gasoline. Point A to point B. To work, gasoline.
Everything gasoline. We're knock, knock, knocking on hell's door of $4 a gallon gas.
I hope not.
70 cents, 75 cents in a week.
Last headline is that Virginia Tech ball game.
Tomorrow, Hokies and Hoos, 12 o'clock.
On the CW network, UVA is crushing it.
26 and 4 overall, 14 and 3 in ACC play.
Hoos are a 9.5 point favorite.
One of Virginia's four losses this year
came at the hands of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg.
I would love to see the Whoos come out tomorrow at High Nude
and beat the breaks off of the Hokies
who are fighting for their NCAA.
CAA Tournament Lives.
UVA secured, locked and loaded,
the two-seat in the ACC tournament.
That's good news. They don't have to face Duke
until the ACC Tournament Championship,
if they make it that far.
Duke's clearly the best team.
Virginia has an opportunity to be a four-seat in the big dance.
Win the tournament, maybe you're knocking on the door of a three-seat.

anything you want to add?
No.
We'll close the show this way.
Wanda Shank says,
and you know what, Wanda, you might be right.
That $4 a gallon gas is the Democrats
is a Democratic push
for midterms in the next election.
That's the first thing the Dems are going to use
as their flag waving to get us elected at midterms.
$4 a gallon gas.
Remember Trump in his state of the union
a couple of weeks ago,
in his state of the union. One of the key aspects of his state of the union, Donald Trump,
was cheap gas. Look at what I've done with gas. Look at what I've done with gas. He highlighted
$6 a gallon gas in California. Then he said, I've seen gas as low as $1.30. Since Trump made
that proclamation at the state of the union, gas is two-xed. Has it? Yeah. Not here. He said
a buck 35, a buck 25. I guess it's depending on where you're sure.
shop to your point. I will say
since the state of the union, since
the state of the union, it's gone from
$2.40 or $0.40 or $0.50
to $3.50.
Gas that I've been buying has
stuck
pretty much level
up and down a tiny bit around
three for the last, I don't know,
two or three years.
Gas last Friday
at Tiger Fuel on Ivy Road.
279. Now
349. That's
is 70 cents.
I haven't seen that Delta
in my own experiences, but
other people's experiences may vary.
I hope not.
You will this weekend.
Let's hope not.
I don't want to knock on hell's door.
No do I.
That's the talk show.
Water cooler of content and conversation.
Water cooler of content and conversation.
We're honest, we're frank,
we cut through the BS, and we do it
in long form content so you can't take it out of context.

Yesterday he peed on the Play-Doh
and Max the Family German Shepherd.
There are worse places to go.
Then Max, the Family German Shepherd?
I was talking about the Plato, not Matt.
Max the family German Shepherd did not appreciate.
Getting peed on by the three-year-old?
he just took it dogs yeah of course he just took it
he just put his head down tail between his legs
and lowered his ears oh man you're making me sad now that's literally
what he did and he just took it he was a great family dog
loves the three-year-old dearly follows him around everywhere his protector
the three-year-old got out of the house he knows max the german shepherd was right there
he knows the snacks they're going to get dropped on the ground yeah he gets the scraps from
