Welcome to the I Love Sevo Show, guys. My name is Jerry Miller, and thank you kindly for joining us Wednesday afternoon in downtown Charlottesville. A lot to cover on the program. School Board meeting yesterday. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, brooh-haha of boiling point proportions at the school board meeting. A lot we're going to cover on the broadcast today, guys, including a Charlottesville City Council concern. Sam Sanders, the city manager, has indicated that the city population drop. is something that could impact federal funding and state agency funding. We'll talk about that on today's show. We will talk about activists protesting the new zoning ordinance yet again. That story on today's show. How can you protest the new zoning ordinance when you were the drivers of the new zoning ordinance? How do you protest something that you pushed forward? Just make it make sense.

So much to cover on the broadcast, guys, the Wednesday edition, the show. Judo will give some attention to Stanley Martin Holmes. Stanley Martin Holmes is a provider that you can count on. They build homes honestly, efficiently, and communicative fashion, innovative technology. Stanley Martin Holmes is building and developing homes and sites all over central Virginia. Quite a bit of building and development happening in the Green County jurisdiction from Stanley Martin Holmes. Stanley Martin Holmes, honesty, communication, people you can trust. A lot. to cover on the show, Judah Wickhauer. I believe we're set up now on LinkedIn.

I'm working on it. Okay, you got the group up and running? Yeah. Okay, fantastic. Why don't you go to the studio camera? Then you and I will talk on a two-shot as I ask you the headline. The question I ask you every single day to start the show. Which storyline today, Judah Wickhauer, before we play a video of Ziana Bryant and Nicole Richardson, two school board members in Charlottesville School Board in a verbal verbal royal rumble with Chris Meyer

another school board member a three minute clip that I found very entertaining that we're going to cut and we're going to play for the viewers and listeners Judah Whitcare my friend the show storyline that most intrigues you the most and why

it's definitely that video I mean it was I mean it's comical. It's I mean incredible listening to you know people say talk about

you know not having enough information when and gaslighting and then to be to have the response be you know we've got records none of this like

somehow flew under the radar I think it's an interesting an interesting video. We're going to play it. Judah's referencing the school board meeting from last night and the school resource officer topic. At this point, just forget the LinkedIn so you can focus on the show.

We're going to queue up the video here in a matter of moments. I'm going to set the stage for you, the viewer and listener. This is a school board meeting last night. It's a three-minute clip. I'm going to call this a low-light. Judah's nicer than me.

He's invented a new word, a midlight is what he's calling this. It's certainly not a highlight. We're both in agreement here. You're going to see three elected officials on a dais in a publicly recorded and transcribed meeting, basically fighting and arguing about school resource officers. One of the school board members is Chris Meyer. He's a white male.

The only white male in the dais seems to be certainly outnumbered. He is explaining that school resource officers, we followed the school board a lengthy and robust process before approving the return of school resource officers to Charlottesville Public Schools. He documents, you know, prior to the clip that you're about to see, the flip book or the timeline of the lengthy and robust process, the school board followed before voting yes to school resource officers. And then you will watch Richardson, school board member Richardson and school board member Bryant basically use word salad terminology like gas lighting and spitting in the faces of people and calling it rain and saying we're not speaking for the entire black community. These are Ziana Bryant's words. But here's my take anyway. So here's three minutes of a school board meeting yesterday. day. If you watch the body language of the other members, for example, school board member

Dooley, she's absolutely cringing during this entire broadcast. If you watch the body language of the chair, Lisa Torres, she's struggling to get order throughout this. And superintendent, Dr. Royale Gurley, is just like, what have I gotten myself into here in Charlottesville? Three minutes last night, I'll call the low light. Charlottesville School Board. We'll respond and react after this. Chuda Wickhauer, let's rock and roll. The recommendation is, again, for the same groups that were just speaking to us today,

the recommendation is the task force proposes the development of a joint memorandum of agreement, let's call that an MOU, between the Charlottesville Police Department and the school division concerning school resource officers based upon best practice models that have been shown to reduce disproportionality and minimal referrals to court from the school system.

Sorry, I'm sorry to interrupt, But like, did we not say that we was not going to talk about S. And then, like, this is the same work. And I, this is just, it's kind of frustrating. Like you said no, getting it. Now you're, you're kind of pointing out all these data and notes. Like, it's, it's ridiculous. It's 11 o'clock.

It's 11.10. We're going to let him finish his comments. I know, but I'm frustrated. Like, are you serious? All right. Well, I'm presenting data. All right. So my point here is,

there's people out there saying a lot of things, which is fine. You can say what you want. There's also the data and the facts over the last two years that I want to everybody be on the record. There's media in here that's writing news stories that this is what we've been doing. This is the work that our board has been doing discussing with the community and our staff have been working at a lot more. So I do not, I'm not okay when members of the community and other members of the community, they can have their opinions. I understand there's a lot of concerned about it, but to say that we have not been democratic, that there's been backroom dealing, et cetera, which is not true. Okay. So I just want to make sure you can go look all the

data up, you can go look all the information up. There's all kinds of meeting data. You can watch the videos. You can watch the vote that we had on March 24th in 2020, 27th and 2024, and see how all this all went down. Thank you. Okay. So you're citing a study or a report from 2014. 2014 is before how many unarmed black people were killed by police? 2014 is before how many issues that we've had with Charlottesville Police Department, including a very destabilized civilian review oversight process. I think that's actually ridiculous.

And I respect so much of the data that you would bring forward. And I just think that that's just, that's an interesting choice. Additionally, we've actually had board members say that they thought that the process could have been better. So now to hear that it was robust is interesting. We've also heard board members go on the record in several spaces and say, we didn't know the vote was going to happen. And tonight we're hearing, oh, well, we were fully prepared for that. So for me, it's really the whiplash. It's the gas lighting.

It's almost like, I'm going to spin in your face and tell you it's raining. And for the black community, that's disrespectful. respectful, honestly. And like, I'm not, I cannot speak for the entire black. I mean, that's every, that's the definition of word Salah there. That is the definition of, of catchy phrases. That's a school board member, Chris Meyer, the newly minted, relatively newly minted school board member, just trying to talk about process. Here is the timeline of what the school board has done. We followed this timeline before voting on school resource officers. He said, livable Charlottesville, the president of the city teacher union is trying to present this

school resource officer decision as if it was a backroom wheeling and dealing type of scenario. He said, no, it was not. We did this, this, this, this, this. This. This. before we voted, and here are the dates of when we did it, when we papered the trail, and he offered other background research studies and other data to justify why the school board decided to bring SROs back to Charlottesville Public Schools. In the middle of making this lengthy presentation, and we only showed you three minutes, Chris Meyer spoke for 10 or 12 minutes. he was first interrupted by school board member Richardson, Nicole Richardson, Miss Nicole Richardson.

She was appointed to the school board in January 2024, the same time Chris Meyer was pointed to the school board. And then after Chris Meyer finished speaking, Zionabrien, probably the most notorious activist in Charlottesville City history, Ziona Bryant, who has a checkered past, with integrity, a checkered pass, and I'm speaking specifically with the debacle that it was the UVA student. Was that Morgan Beninger? Morgan Bettinger. Yeah. Where Zionabriant tarred and feathered Morgan Bettinger. Based on hearsay and gossip that proved not to be true, which led to Morgan Beniger's expulsion from the University of Virginia. And as far as we know, has never apologized to Morgan Beniger. Nobody has.

As far as I know. I don't even think the University of Virginia has. Jim Ryan, I don't think. Not Jim Ryan. One of his low moments, I have to say. You know what? I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll relay a firsthand story. On Monday afternoon, Monday, late afternoon, my son and I were playing squash together.

We play a lot of squash together, my son and I. He's eight years old. He's extremely competitive, hyper competitive. and he missed a couple of shots while playing me. And like every son, every son wants to beat their dad in a sport, especially the sport they're most passionate about. Any son, any father can relate to that. He's eight years old.

He's a little ways away from beating me, but he's going to be a significantly better player than I ever was. And I tell him every day, there's only one man on this planet that wants you, son, to be better than him, and it's me, your father. I tell him that every single day. On Monday, late afternoon, my son lost his temper, his cool, and his emotion on the squash court because he started missing a couple of shots, and he did some things and said some

things and had an emotional response that he wasn't supposed to, supposed to. And he did not know this, but his coach at the time saw it all play out. and his coach from about 20, 30 feet away, my son didn't realize he was looking, called out his behavior and said, what are you doing? My son and I had a conversation after he'd cooled down temper-tempore-wise, and I said, what do you think is the best course of action here, son? And on his own accord as an eight-year-old, he said, I think I should apologize to coach Stephen. and he waited for about 15 or 20 minutes as his coach was talking to another parent and then showed up, asked me to walk with him, went up to Coach Stephen while the other parent

was watching, just finished the conversation with Stephen, and he said, I'm sorry for my behavior, I won't do it again. And he apologized to his coach, started getting teary-eyed and crying and emotional. It's tough to apologize, especially. when you're eight years old. Yeah. Sat my son down after that moment and I said, son, I've never been more proud of you than I am right now.

You realize that you made a mistake and on your own accord as an eight-year-old, you realized that you needed to fix the mistake with another person that you respected your coach. You went up to him in an adult fashion, mature fashion, with another parent on looking and apologized to him. And he said, but dad, I cried. that's completely okay. You cried because you knew you did something wrong and you were fixing the mistake

and I'm proud of you and I gave him a big hug. It's hard to say I'm sorry. Zayana Bryant hasn't said I'm sorry to Morgan Betiger. Neither has anyone at the University of Virginia. Despite tarring and feathering her and impacting her digital reputation, which is your tombstone. It's what your grandchildren will read,

your digital reputation. And last night, It was more of the same antics from Zionabriant, looking to tar and feather, Chris Meyer, utilizing terms like gaslighting and whiplash, and you're spitting in the face of people and calling it rain? That's what gaslighting is. For anyone that doesn't know what gaslighting is,

it's generally a form of psychological manipulation and emotional abuse where a person will make someone question their own memory, is perceptions, so they'll deny facts. Like, that never happened. You're making this up, even when, as in this case, evidence clearly exists that those things did happen, trivializing people's feelings, you're just too sensitive, I was just joking,

you know, saying something nasty in that, oh, it was just a joke. And things like that, countering, blocking, diverting, shifting blame to someone else or something else. and so she's essentially saying that like when she says spitting on someone and calling it rain she's acting as though

there's no proof that all these things that he's alleging are true when in fact they are he's got the receipts so to speak he literally all he did was say this is how we got to the vote of the SRO in schools and gave

the flip book and timeline of the process including stamps yeah date stamps of when they happen. And then he complimented that flip book with research studies from the University of Virginia.

Yeah. He has 10 minutes of context. We only showed three minutes. There was eight or 10 minutes prior to that three minute clip of him talking. Then he was interrupted by Nicole Richardson. Her interruption, she's like, it's 1117 at night.

Can we be done already? I mean, she literally said that. Somewhat understandable. That's not understandable. That's not understandable. No, I mean, it is understandable for someone saying, hey, it's getting late. It's not understandable because, hey, you're there to do a job. This is what you signed up for.

Yeah. This is what you've signed up for. It happens. It's going along today. It happens all the time. And then she interrupted him. I mean, it's, and then Ziona Bryant, how she responded. It's, it was, that was just three minutes of it.

I feel like you're gaslighting us. Yeah. What? Three minutes. of it. Yeah. And here's another intriguing wrinkle here. I was following, this was on the, I think, the Charlottesville subreddit.

How many of the teachers actually want the SROs to stay in the schools? If the Charlottesville high school teachers want the SRO in schools, but all the other schools in Charlottesville's public school system do not, because they don't have the same behavioral circumstances or troubles as a school system. a high school does. Same problems. Are the voters in the union that are pushing for SROs to be removed from the school? I mean, the president is pushing that Channigiliken.

So you would imagine if the president is pushing that Channigilkin, she has solidarity from her union before she speaks on behalf of the union. You would assume you would hope to God. One would assume that if you are the representative of a body, that you would get the consensus of their feelings on something before lobbying and politicking for something. Okay, so we're going to give her that assumption here. This is

the question I have. There's a lot of schools in Charlottesville's public school system. There's only one high school. If the teachers at the high school want the police officers to stay in the school, but all the teachers and the other schools do not, do

the teachers in the other schools outnumber in voting capacity? The teachers in the high school, of course they do and as a result are they pushing for the removal of SROs at Charlottesville High School despite the Charlottesville high school teachers saying we want them

to be here. Why would teachers at another school have Because they're in the union. Everyone in the union gets an equal vote. But the SROs aren't at the school because of the unions vote, are they? The union is pushing against the SROs and

lobbying the school board to take them out. My question is, are the high school employees outnumbered by the employees in the union at all the other schools with the union vote? And is that the reason why the union is pushing the SROs to be removed from the schools? And is it fair for the teachers in the high school

who have dealt with roaming mobs and violence and a shutdown of Charlottesville High School two years ago? Regardless, the behavior, of the school board members last night I found to be your words unprofessional at best I mean are they pushing are the school board members

pushing for the school union the teachers union the school board members specifically Brian and Richardson are saying that the the union doesn't want the the SROs there that's right we're bringing it to the to everyone's attention

and Brian and Richardson want them out I mean, that's what the initial vote was for, right? I mean... I mean, it's just, we're in the epicenter of crazy. Ginny Who's watching the program. Come on, Jerry. Didn't you get the memo that sharing data is racist? Ginny Who's tongue-in-cheek comment there on Twitter.

Vanessa Parkhill is watching the program. We love the Queen of Earlysville when she watches the show. deep throat and I'm not going to read exactly what deep throat said on the direct message right here I'll paraphrase it but he's saying hey Charlottesville voters you got what you voted for yeah you vote an activist to the school board the most notorious one at that with the checkered history of integrity this is what's going to happen that's deep throat right there he's right Yeah. And it's perfect segue, this selective outrage.

We utilize this terminology so much, selective outrage on this program. How about the selective outrage with another group of activists protesting outside city hall on Monday about the new zoning ordinance? That's a new lower third you can put on screen. now the activists are protesting the new zoning ordinance which they protested for a couple years ago to materialize the same people that said we need to make zoning more flexible

loosen zoning restrictions so all types of housing can be built in Charlottesville because that will yield more supply and maybe will stabilize price points and make Charlestville more affordable the same activist that said we need this NZO, new zoning ordinance. We're not even going to call it new anymore.

It's just the zoning code, the zoning ordinance. It was fought in court. It won. It was temporarily removed. It was brought back. I mean, seriously. And now that it's, they've even tried to make a few minor, minor, minor changes to it

to better suit the purposes that they intended for it. And now you've got people saying, it's not doing what we want it to do. Well, I don't know if that's a surprise, because, as Jerry said, he's been talking about what's going to happen with the zoning code. They want certain things built, but you can't just magically force builders

to build just the type of housing that you want them to build. And the spot that you want it built. Yeah, you can't just have them. The activist wanted the housing built on Rugby Road or in the Blue Ridge neighborhood or in North downtown or in the Greenbrier neighborhood. Buy up the rich houses, tear them down and build up what, whatever they thought builders were going to build on Rugby Road in other areas.

Instead, the developers are building the housing and the marginalized, historically, minority-lived neighborhoods because those neighborhoods, the fact they're marginalized means the dirt associated with the neighborhoods, the parcels are more affordable, can be aggregated, assembled, conglomerated, whatever verb you want to use, and multifamily UVA student luxury housing can be built in its steed. We told you this what's going to happen? I wrote about this for two years. I said, City Council, ask somebody who does real estate.

This is what's going to happen if you approve this new zoning ordinance. The developers are going to build luxury student housing for university students in these neighborhoods. Fifeville, Star Hill, 10th and page, specifically told prospect, told them the areas. One counselor at the time said, why do you think that is? I said, because it's cheap to buy stuff there. Because affordable housing will never pencil out

without massive subsidies. We literally told them that even the wealthy neighborhoods were galvanizing and strategizing and coordinating covenants and restrictions. Look at Lewis Mountain. Right. They kept evergreen from building six luxury brownstones in the Lewis Mountain neighborhood from covenants and restrictions that were found decades ago that didn't show up during the title process of purchasing this ranch style home for $800,000 or so. It's wild what's happening here.

It's a content creator's wet dream. Yeah. Okay. So much gaslighting. It's gaslighting and spitting in the face of people and calling it rain. It's school board members and elected officials saying, it's 1117 at night. I need to get home. I want to watch Conan. I want to watch Colbert. I was going to make a comment about beauty sleep, but I feel that's inappropriate. I need to get home. What are you doing talking?

You shouldn't be talking about process and data and research. I need to get home. I need to drink my warm milk. Insanity. You shouldn't be gaslighting us with facts and details. It's absolute insanity. What's happening here? And a perfect segue into the next headline about population.

No wonder the population is dropping in the city. Yeah. And now Sam Sanders, Michael Payne straight up said this. Michael Payne straight up said, look, the population drop in the city is a big deal. Because the population determines the funding we get from state and federal agencies. Yeah. Sam Sanders tells Sean Tubbs... It also affects how much tax the city brings in.

Yeah. Sam Sanders tells Sean Tubbs, or Sean Tubbs asks Sam Sanders, what does this drop in population mean? why this is what Sam Sanders said in a city council meeting ready quote this is the city manager of Charlottesville I'm reading verbatim from Sean Tubbs's reporting quote I have a meeting on my calendar to have some conversation with some folks because I like a bigger number than that one with the population

Sean said with the request to City Hall and probably Afton Schneider seeking clarification on why Sam Sanders wants a higher number Sam Sanders did not respond by press time or publication time to Sean's request. Does that mean he thinks the... Probably twofold. Sam probably thinks... Probably twofold.

He probably thinks either the census is incorrect or he wants some clarity in like, are you really counting the UVA students the right way? That's fair, I think. Because he knows if the population drops, then his budget gets less money from state and federal agencies. And if his budget,

gets less money from state and federal agencies, he's going to have to make up the deficit. And how he makes up the deficit as a city manager is by proposing tax increases. And Sam Sanders is about one or two tax increases away from being basically hung in effigy in Charlottesville. They already did it to Dave Norris. They hung the former mayor of Charlottesville, Dave Norris, in effigy. in Market Street Park with the Occupy Charlottesville Occupy Wall Street movement about what, 10 or 12, 14 years ago. How many city managers have been run out on a rail in Charlottesville? He's already proposing a two-cent real estate tax rate increase.

I wonder if that's the friction between democratic policies and trying to actually run a city. obviously very well said and I don't mean to respond sarcastically like that I was about to say no duh but I don't want to gaslight you and spit in your face and call it rain and say that I'm late for watching the Colbert show at 1117 p.m. Yeah. Of course Sam Sanders is probably like good God these activists and these incredibly left-leaning ideologies in Charlottesville are making my job extremely difficult because they're running out the economic development. They're causing empty storefronts. They're driving out meals tax revenue. They're flatlining assessed values and they're forcing me to raise taxes on everything, which is clearly

making me the bullseye on the dart board for people like Judah Wickhauer to throw their verbal and proverbial darts every day at 1230 p.m. on the I Love Seville Network, the water. The Water cooler of content and conversation for the community. You can't have your cake and eat it too if there's no tax money to pay for the cake. Right? Yes, good. We should get a dartboard on the I Love Seville Network and hang it with a put people's faces on it. And literally, we will get video cameras, you and I playing darts and do a two or three minutes segment on the I Love Seville Network playing darts with that person.

with the bull's eye of the day. That seems a little mean spirit. The bull's eye of the day seems to be miss spit in your face and call it rain. No, that's not gaslighting. You don't find her behavior absurd. What's that? You don't find Zayana Bryant's behavior absurd. Oh, well, she might not even know what gaslighting means.

Hmm. I think Zayana Bryant knows exactly what gaslighting means. I think Zion Bryant, and I hope she hears this, I know she watches and listens to our content, Ziona Bryant, I think, is an extremely intelligent person. Extremely intelligent.

She knows exactly what she's doing all the time and can play the game better than most. Okay. My word of caution to Chris Meyer who was sitting next to her in that clip is walk on eggshells, Meyer.

I mean, what can she do? That's what the R.A. Lee statue said in Lee Park. That's what Morgan Beninger said. And look at the statue now. That's what Morgan Beniger said. What can she do? I doubt Morgan Benninger ever said that. No, Morgan Benninger was like, oh my God, what have I done? And she did nothing.

She probably had whiplash so bad that from just wondering what the heck happened. Like, wait a minute. All I was doing was driving home, and now I'm getting kicked out of the school. What do they call it? I don't know. She was basically drummed up on honor charges. She was booted. And then she got to stay in school. But this is following her forever. They settled with her. I hope to God she got a seven-figure payout from UVA. I hope to got. At least. Handsome Hank Martin's photo on screen. This is the ultimate tug of war.

One group demands more money from seven. City County residents for affordable housing. One group demands zoning change and now balks at the change they previously demanded. Three nonprofit groups jockeying for control over a 6 million facility three years into the future. Meanwhile, back on the ranch, SRO is being potentially removed. April Fool's Day, each and every day here in the mirror universe of actual reality. Hanson Hank Martin, your commentary is so good. finally the Daily Progress talks about the holiday drive shelter and highlights that it's Patcham,

the Blue Ridge Area Coalition for the Homeless and the Haven, all chopping at the bit for the holiday drive shelter. You read it. This is what I talked about yesterday. The first to talk about it in all of Central Virginia was this media platform, was yours truly. Now Legacy Media is following suit. What did you read? Three different organizations, each. doing some...

The same thing. Well, not the same thing. One of them is taking care of the of the night, the shelter at night. One of them's shelter at day. What was the other one? Coordinating the one that was taking care of the shelter

at night and the one in the day. Literally. Does anyone think that that's going to go well? This is what is being pitched to taxpayers. Blue Ridge Area Coalition for the Homeless. Brack. Brack. I love these acronyms. Brack. Brack wants to coordinate the holidays. holiday drive, $6.2 million shelter.

That's going to need another $14 or $15 million for buildout that will not come online for 36 months. And it's going to need $4 million a year to maintain. And it's going to need another $500,000 per year to drive people to transport the homeless to and from the downtown mall and to the Rivana River and camping to holiday drive. Bragg wants to coordinate that. The Haven wants to be the boss of the daytime hours. And Patcham wants to be the boss of the ninth. time hours. And city council is entertaining this. Yeah. Maybe, maybe if those, if the three groups like

formed a mega robot, you know, like, uh, what don't you do with the three groups what happens in the Darwinistic, capitalistic, everyday world? Let them present, ask for an RFP, a request for proposal on which of your groups is going to run this best and the cost and how much money you're going to bring out of your own pocket. How many staffers, the return on investment? And pick the best bid possible. Just like you did on the cross streets on the downtown mall with Oak Valley Custom Hartscapes. And the other two can work underneath that group.

A hundred percent. Just put one person in charge. The other two can be a sub. Yeah. Why don't you do that? Like the real world works. Next headline. I want to give some love to Charlottesville Sanitary Supply and Charlottesville Swimming Pool Company.

If you're not a Luke Combs fan and I'm a big Luke Combs fan, I'm not going to the concert.

Why? Because we have kids, an 8-year-old and a 3-year-old. Love those guys. Thank God they make them cute. but I can think a few aspects of city in Almaro County that are saving Chris Engel's job more than music. And he is sitting in City Hall right now saying, oh my God, thank God. Fridays after 5 is starting. Fridays after 5 I just have to get to April 17. Thank God for Luke Combs. That chubby country music singer, good God.

Thank God that guy, that chubby country music singer has got a voice of an angel. Thank God. Maybe this Judah Wickhauer will get off my back on the I Love Seville Show about doing no economic development. What am I supposed to do? I can't do any economic development over here. City Council is just coutailing to the activist. I can't do anything. I can't do anything here. No, I haven't done anything since 2019. Judah Wickhauer is exactly right. Thank God for that chubby country music singer and corn capsule and red light management and Fridays after five. Jesus, just get to April. I hope they don't see that the cross streets are closed. and the sign at the gateway to the downtown mall says downtown is closed. I hope they don't see that. I didn't have anything to do with it.
