Welcome to the I Love Seville Show, guys. My name is Jerry Miller, and thank you kindly for joining us on a gorgeous and glorious Tuesday afternoon in downtown Charlestville. This is the water cooler of content and conversation in Charlottesville, Central Virginia, the Commonwealth, the country, and the world where we have expanded our content coverage on the I Love Seville show. And frankly speaking, in 2026, as the network has boomed, I've had a lot of ideas of what to do with this show. and some additional coverage for the show. I'm going to keep those ideas close to now. You know, it was, athletes are asked this question.

You solved this difference with, say, Michael Jordan and LeBron James. So many athletes in the Michael Jordan era were told, shut up and just play basketball. Shut up and just score points. And Michael Jordan, for all the talent he had, arguably the greatest basketball player in basketball history, NBA history, for all the talent he had in the press conferences before and after games or his interaction with the media, Michael Jordan was extremely vanilla with what he had to say. He often towed the company line because he thought he was a basketball player. who was a pitchman instead of a basketball player

who had thoughts and ideas and could offer commentary and analysis on things that were happening in the world, whether politics, foreign affairs, geopolitical tension, and just the comings and goings of everyday Americans. In today's era, you got guys like LeBron James. You had guys like Kobe Bryant.

One of the things that I loved about Kobe Bryant and God, Kobe Bryant had his faults. Some of those faults were extremely well chronicled legally. Kobe Bryant was extremely renaissance, capable of speaking so many different foreign languages. Just off the charts IQ, off the charts intelligence. He was a basketball player and he could put the ball in a hoop, but Kobe Bryant was much more than a basketball player.

LeBron James, you see it with him. LeBron James, maybe you're talking about the guy that can, you know, chip away at Michael Jordan's perch or pedestal is the greatest basketball player of all time. LeBron James in this era, he gives you so much more than just being a pitch man and just putting the ball in the hoop.

He talks about life. He has a talk show based in a barbershop. He has a pie. He offers a glimpse into his thoughts on politics. I've been getting feedback from viewers and listeners on both sides of the fence. I've got some viewers and listeners on Twitter and Facebook that are almost like, shut up, just play basketball. Shut up, we just want Seville News from you, Jerry.

Don't give us anything else. I got some viewers and listeners that are like, no, we want other content from you. So I'm kind of wrestling internally with what to do with some of the ideas that I have for maybe it's another show. Maybe it's expanding the content coverage of this show where we talk more macro content. We'll localize it to Charlottesville. Like take the war in Iran. You don't think the war in Iran is infecting or impacting what's happening.

against Seville. You don't think the war in Iran is going to impact commuters and impact the folks on the financial margin and just drive even more gentrification of the city in Almaro County in central Virginia. You don't think the war in Iran is going to divide this community, galvanize this community, leave the community asking questions. And if this war, in the Middle East is impacting our home here in Charlottesville, why wouldn't we talk about it? Why wouldn't we ask questions on the program? Why are we there? Seven Americans have died so far. Some have called this a distraction for Donald Trump, a ploy a tactic utilized by his administration to attract the media attention away from the links to Jeffrey Epstein.

I don't buy that. Some have called this war in Iran the influence of Israel on Trump's administration. I don't buy that. Some have called this war on Iran calling card for Trump, as he considers his legacy in his final term in the, in the White House and what folks will remember him, and maybe he's able to end terror. I know that Iran has been an enemy of the United States

for nearly 50 years. And in those nearly 50 years, I have not personally, and I don't want to speak for you, the viewer and listener, but I have not personally felt scared or afraid. because a country all the way on the other end of the world may attack or bomb us. I asked the question yesterday on the I Love Sebel Network, and it went viral. A lot of our content now is going viral, almost instantaneously.

It seems to me there's a lot to lose and very little to gain here. Seven American soldiers dead and counting. I think about death now as a father of Tucson's. and I know those seven American soldiers have parents in the United States that are struggling with something that no parent wants to struggle with, and that's outliving their kids, their children. There's someone in there's individuals in the comment section of the social media channels this show is airing upon, and last night after I posted my commentary, that literally said this. those seven American soldiers enlisted into the military and that's the risk

they have when they join armed forces. I was taken aback and this is coming from someone whose wife often says that you can show a little more emotional intelligence and be a little bit more sensitive, Jerry. But I was taken

aback with how cold the commentary was about seven dead Americans last night. on how they were just expendable, almost as if they were a robotic commodity, a robotic, armed forced commodity, as opposed to being the sons or daughters of parents here in our community, family members, wives, husbands, kids. This war in Iran, a global economy fighting for stability, does that, is that not a reflection of where we are? We live in a world where the globe and countries within that world are literally every day fighting for some kind of stability in this tumultuous, tumultuous, tumultuous ecosystem we live within. How about our economy, the American economy?

Are we heading into even more inflation? This inflation fueled by escalating gas prices? The last inflationary period, which we thought we were exquisite, was fueled by cheap money during COVID in the pandemic. You put interest rates at a 2, 3% clip, and then you give everyone free money to stay home during COVID. Of course, you're going to have inflation happen. And it ran rapid for rampant for years.

We're just now getting out of it. Are we about to enter another period? And then I close by saying this. As a country, as a Commonwealth, as a Central Virginia region, and at Charlottesville, don't we have enough domestic quagmires already? A lady on Instagram responded to my commentary about why are we in this war with Iran by saying, oh, Jerry, you're so heartless. You're not considering the 30,000 women and children that have been massacred at the hands

of Iranian terrorist dictators. And I said, oh, I've considered those 30,000 Iranian women and children massacred by Iranian dictators. But have you also considered the men and women and the children in the United States that are dying of hunger and dying of poverty and dying because health care is too expensive? And dying because finding a job

and this economic climate is about as challenging as it's been as ever? Do you understand the impact that an economic collapse has on Americans living on the financial margin? It yields results that are akin to death, but it does it slowly by the death of a thousand cuts. You start quicksanding into overwhelming debt. And when you quicksand in overwhelming debt, you start choosing other services as opposed to, to, to, to, to, to, paying bills that otherwise in a stable household you would maintain or consider paying health care, dental, physical checkups, follow-ups, you change your diet, you're eating, you change your clothes,

what you're wearing, you go hungry, you go thirsty, your living environment becomes one of disrepair and despair. That's the death of a thousand cuts. And you may call me a insensitive. You may call me lacking a humanitarian spirit, but I will always and forever prioritize America and our country and the people that live in this nation before any other country. I ask why the war in Iran. A lot to lose and very little gain. To start today's show. And I point to seven American soldiers dead so far in geopolitical

tension brinking a nuclear terror, and I point to a global economy fighting for stability, an American economy teetering on gasoline-fueled inflation and more domestic quagmires than I can count locally. But yes, let's shift our focus and our attention all the way to the other side of the world. And that's how I'm going to start the Tuesday edition of the I Love Seville Show. My name is Jerry Miller. This show is presented by a number of partners that make this show possible, proud partners of the program. And I want to highlight one of them I was sitting across with him this morning. It's Jerry Rackleff of Jerry Rackleff.com.

Jerry Rackliff of Jerry Rackleff.com has a subscriber website, ladies and gentlemen, that is now a paywall, content-producing paywalled website. And it's booming already in popularity, and it's been around for two weeks. More subscribers than anticipated. And it's because Jerry Rackleff is a Virginia Sports Hall of Famer. He's been covering the Virginia Sports team for 50-plus years, and he has more connection. he was having a conversation. Was it the 1976 ACC basketball team from 1976 that won the ACC tournament?

Wally Walker and that team were sitting in in a couple of booths at the Aberdeen Bar in this past weekend. And Jerry Rackleff was the only guy outside the team sitting at that and those booths, eating crab cakes and prime rib and sirloins and strips with living legends. That content on Jerry Rackleaf.com. later today or tomorrow. Judah Wickauer's studio camera, and then a two shot. We will talk a topic

that came up at the end of yesterday's show as I draw attention to Charlottesville's economic development office. Chris Engel is the head of that office. He's catching some heat from me, deservingly so. I asked the question, what is the economic development office

in the city of Charlottesville done of merit in the last six years. We're approaching the six-year anniversary of COVID. Might even be today. Remember the ACC basketball tournament was canceled to start the pandemic in March of 2020? The anniversary might actually be today of the start of COVID that canceled the ACC tournament.

What is Chris Engel and City Hall done in Charlottesville from an economic development standpoint? I need one idea from the viewers and listeners. We'll talk about the data science. School funded by Jeffrey Woodruff, a friend of the program, a second building on Ivy and Emmett. I'm going to tell the story of a kind man, a quiet, kind man, a mustached, quiet, kind man, who wore the same clothes every day, who enjoyed smoking marlboral cigarettes, who called the stoop outside the United States Post Office on the downtown mall, his home for years.

A man who lived on a concrete slab until he died while sleeping inside a sleeping bag, a feathered sleeping bag, a Coleman sleeping bag, a man who spent 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., inside the post office to escape inclement weather. whether it was heat, rain, cold, chill, freeze. He was inside that post office, conversating with anyone who would pass by, including yours truly, including Judah Wickhauer. And this kind, quiet, mustache, cigarette smoking gentleman

who wore the same clothes every day, who slept on a concrete slab in a feathered Coleman sleeping bag, who greeted passerby's in the post office with a hello sir, a yes sir, and a no sir. Even though I was 25 years his junior has now died. And I want to talk about that on the show. And I don't want to just shut up and play basketball. I want to talk about content and topic matter that I find intriguing and captivating and compelling and infuriating and flabbergasting.

I want to talk about content and stuff I read that day that creates emotion for me, whether bliss or fury. And you know what? I don't care if you, the viewer, enlistor, want me to talk only Charlottesville because I'm not going to shut up and just play basketball. And what makes this program work, what makes this program popular, is irreverence,

What makes this program work? What makes this program popular is our dynamic, Judah Wickhauer and I. What makes this program work? What makes this program possible is the unpredictable nature of the show? It's not scripted. We have eight bullet points that we put on screen for you, the viewer and listener, and we literally have no idea what we're going to do for the next 60 minutes. Am I right?

Yeah, you're right. Unpredictable, unscripted, irreverent. What makes this program work? Someone, I think it was Mark Coleman, a new viewer and listener to the show. And this new viewer and listener to the show, Mark Coleman in the comment section of my commentary about the war in Iran last night that went viral, he said all Jerry is doing is pandering to his viewers and listeners by saying, the war and I ran, a lot to lose in very little game. And I immediately clapped back.

I went to Mark Coleman. And you know what I told that man in the chat box? I said, how dare you say I'm pandering to viewers and listeners when on Thursday of this past week, I had the chapter president of Western Almaral High School, TPSA, live and in studio. If I was pandering to viewers and listeners in a overwhelmingly Democratic Charlottesville

and Almorel County, our studio located in downtown Charlottesville, the epicenter of liberalism. If I wanted to pander to viewers and listeners, I'd roll out a red carpet for Allison Spillman. I'd have the white claw that she enjoys drinking in the evening while keyboard muscling, commentary of her own on social media, on ice, on set for her to enjoy before and after the program. pandering is the absolute opposite of what we do on the show. You know why the show works? Because we don't give a rat's patootie. That's why the show works.

And I'm going to follow the mindset again as we span the content coverage, maybe even consider a rebranding of the show while keeping it true to its roots, while also offering content coverage that's even more macro than normal. The show is yours, a lot of viewers and listeners, at your attention, Judah Wickhauer, on any of the topics we've covered so far. And I'll tell you what, this man right here

has worked for this firm for 16 years. This man, Judah Wickhauer, is as well-rounded as a person that I've ever met. And this man, Judah Wickhauer, has a lot to offer commentary-wise that is outside of his experience at La Mieto Kana on Stewart Street. And we can't wait to celebrate that family

as they've opened a new location. I took a picture of it yesterday, but I don't really see any reason. and putting it on screen. Show is yours. Anywhere do you want to go? Scatter shooting with Judah Woodcow. Oh, man.

Let's see. Yeah, I, of all the people I regularly saw in the downtown mall, do we know his name? I'm never, I'm not a name person. I'm an introvert, so I don't regularly ask people their names. And if I did, I'd forget them in three seconds later. but of all the people I saw regularly on the downtown mall, he was one of my favorites.

Like you said, he was always polite. He was low-key. He was just there, and he didn't get in anyone's way. And I appreciated the, how do I put it, the regularity, the metronomic quality that I knew when I headed to the to the post office on the downtown mall that he would be a regular feature. And I'm extremely sad to hear his past. And I'm especially sorry for his family

who never got the chance to invite him back. His name was Richard Underwood. Richard Underwood. He had family in Louisa that offered him a place to stay inside a home, but he passed. He wanted to live at the post office. I often thought if I had more, perhaps I could have offered him a place to sleep at night. But apparently he didn't. But apparently he didn't.

I'm not saying that. I'm just noting that maybe he was happy where he was. The lower throat on screen, the intriguing thing about Richard Underwood, who chose to live at the United States Post Office or just outside it. And frankly, we can say with accuracy he lived at the United States Post Office because when the post office was open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., he was inside the downtown post office. He was inside the post office charging his phone.

He was inside the downtown post office to stay in the air condition or stay in the heat. when he did smoke his marlboral cigarettes, he was outside on the step, literally right outside the door. He had a sleeping bag, a Coleman sleeping bag, he had all his clothes bundled together neatly, one of the most tidy individuals you will ever see. No doubt. He lived on a footprint outside the United States Post Office that must have been three feet wide and six feet long, 18 square feet. to say he was Spartan is an understatement. Richard Underwood did more with less than anyone I know. In some ways he did less with more than anyone I know.

And he did less with more than anyone I know because I would routinely ask my question, why, sir, are you wearing the same clothes perched inside the downtown mall post office, your elbow resting on the counter, your mustache always groomed, your clothes always the same. Always clean. Always clean. Never with the fragrance that was noticeable of any kind, good or bad.

But why are you doing the same thing every day? Every time I entered, I'm in that post office almost every day Monday through Friday. Whether checking a PO box, mailing some. thing almost every day, sometimes one or two times a day. He greeted me every time with a, how are you doing today, sir? Sir, every time. How are you, sir? His military background. I always, as someone that was 20, 25 years, his junior was always, initially it was made uncomfortable by why is this, this, this, this, I'll cut to the chase. Why is this black man greeting me as, how are you, sir? Nice to see you, sir. Does he feel compelled to do that?

There were a couple of times I initially said, hey, my name is Jerry. What's your name? I said, I'm Richard. And I would say, it's nice to meet you, Richard. You do not have to call me, sir. You can just call me Jerry. I, a little different than Judah, will talk to anyone, will conversate with anyone, remember names as if it was strangers' names, as if it was my oldest and youngest son's names. If you're a business owner, whether you believe this or not, a business owner is always selling. And one of the most basic skills of any business owner, any C-suite, is remembering the names of the people you're chatting with because the name breeds familiarity. Oprah Winfrey said it.

Everyone has the same commonalities in life. They want to be seen, heard, and understood. And if you understand the mindset of being seen, heard, and understood with the people you interact with on a daily basis, that is an advantage to you. And the really special ones, the really great ones that understand this concept, are authentic about it. and I pride myself to try to be authentic when I see folks, whether it's around the office, the downtown mall, the areas my family chooses to hang out on a weekend basis, evening basis, morning basis.

I try to go out of my way genuinely and authentically to make the lives around people around them a little bit better that day using their name, asking how they're doing, bringing a smile, cracking a joke, and I hope people understand that. It's authentic. I try to do that with Mr. Underwood. I try to crack the ice and say, Richard, I'm Jerry. But every time I saw him, and it was always 24 hours later, sometimes a few hours later, as I was waiting for a package arrive

or a big check to come into the PO box that I was tracking, I would say, hey, Richard, and he would say, hey, how you doing, sir? Initially, I thought it was how are you doing, sir, because it was some social norm, him old school, that he was drilled into. That's how he had to treat me. And then I realized years of going through this, that it was his military background, and just the fact that he's a gentleman that is one that prides himself and treating others with respect.

But there's a lesson learned here, and there's a lesson to be learned, and I want to cover it before we go to this next topic. Here's one of the lessons that I learn. A, never judge a book by its cover. this houseless homeless individual was a military veteran who was kind, never drunk, never high on drugs, never antagonistic, never bombastic, never aggressive. He was who he was every day, and it was the metronome of consistency. Second, Charlottesville is going to launch eventually, when are you going to do this Sam Sanders? 36 months from now, a $10 or $15 million homeless shelter on holiday drive.

Have we considered this when the holiday drive homeless shelter that's going to cost taxpayers somewhere between $10 and $15 million when it's built? How many of the houseless populations are going to say, I don't want to live in this bureaucratic, this jurisdictional controlled, this law-rooted homeless shelter? I want to live free-spirited as I see fit. would it not be a wild time in Charlottesville where taxpayers front the bill for a $15 million state-of-the-art homeless shelter on holiday drive for the 200 to 250 houseless individuals in our community to choose to stay camping and living in storefronts on the downtown wall? Yeah. The wild thing about this homeless shelter is the shelter cannot work.

The shelter will not work. The shelter will not enjoy success if there is not follow-up policy that accompanies the shelter. If Sam Sanders and City Council do not momentumize the shelter by saying you cannot camp or store your belongings on the downtown mall or the Rivana Trail anymore because we have this $15 million shelter, then I would bet you a large portion of that 200 to 250 houseless population is going to stay exactly where they are. And speaking of the Rivana Trail, that headline on screen, have you seen the Rivana Trail lately? Chief Kachis, remember when Michael Payne and city council left police chief cautious out to dry, he presented a couple of months ago policy that counsel asked him

to prepare and present. And that policy that Chief Kachis prepared and presented on behalf of counsel basically was an ordinance that said you cannot shelter or store your belongings in public places in Charlottesville. Then it needed council approval. Well, the story was leaked. I think Sean Tubbs published it. And props to Sean Tubbs, I will never knock news creators or content creators for getting the news out there. There's no gatekeeping on news. Some content I don't position on the show, like a business that's closing. Because I understand the blood, sweat and tears that went into creating that

business and the fact that that business is closing or failing or cannot pay its bills is almost as if it is the loss of a child for that business owner and it's not for me to break that news to you. I know there's nearly a dozen additional name brand restaurants and food and beverage businesses that are about to close, but that's not my news to break. That's not gatekeeping content. All other content for the most part I think is fair game. Props to Tubbs for getting it out there that Chief Kachis was going to present this policy to counsel on behalf of counsel. And when that news got out there, Charlottesville's activist community started using this cliche.

City Hall and Charlottesville and counsel are trying to criminalize homelessness. And once criminalized homelessness entered the lexicon or the narrative or the news cycle, that was the end of that policy. Yeah. And then counsel left Kachis out to draw. and now conscious he even said it in that meeting well since you're doing this I

want to let you know that it's not up to the police department anymore to shelter or to police air quotes police air quotes folks that are sheltering in public places we are not going to do that anymore as a police department now look at the Ravana trail

I'm going to grab some of these you have photos where they from Reddit the subreddit yeah he's going to put photos on screen. Give me a minute or two. I'm going to convert them. In two minutes, you're going to see what we're talking about. Props to the Charlottesville subreddit, where I'm absolutely beloved on the Charlottesville subreddit.

I don't think there's a lot that's beloved there. Trauma and trash, tense, tomfoolery, treacherous, toxic, tactics. and it's a perfect segue into the next point of topic on the program. Perfect segue into the next point of topic. What has Charlottesville City done

for nearly 50,000 people that call a 10.2 square mile radius their home and whether you want to admit this or not, Charlottesville City ladies and gentlemen, is the driver of central

Virginia and Alamara County, whether you want to admit that or not, what has the city of Charlottesville done for, from an economic development standpoint? In the last six years since the onset of COVID, I think we're at the six-year anniversary today. Maybe it was yesterday, because it canceled the ACC basketball tournament, if you remember.

What has the city of Charlottesville done in six years from an economic development standpoint? I genuinely am asking the question. I don't have an answer. I follow this as closely as anyone. Our firm is the confessional of entrepreneurship, of small business, of startups, small caps, midcaps. We have one client on our roster, and I was corrected after saying this a couple of weeks ago. We have one client on our roster that is doing, if I say what it is, if I say the revenue amount, you'd probably pinpoint who it was.

I'm going to say close to mid-nine figures. That was the correction from the client who said, hey, what about me? after I said it last time on the show. So from the startup, I literally had a conversation before the show started with one of our tenants. We have 24 of them. And this tenant, who I have tremendous respect for, literally needed my approval to put the letter E on his office door. A vinyl letter E on his office door. It was a 14-minute conversation that I had today about putting the vinyl letter E on his office door that he

rents for me and him not wanting to step out of the bounds of the lease that we had. And you know what? At that moment, I gained even more respect for him. That 14 minutes, I kind of wished I had back, but I had tremendous respect for him because he literally was following the letter of the law, pun intended with the lease over the letter E, a vinyl black letter E on his office door. What has Chris Engel's department done from an economic development standpoint, locally. We had, is it Randy O'Neill? Randy O'Neill is a viewer and listener of this show. I think you have a photo of Randy O'Neill. I hope Randy O'Neill is watching the program today. He mentioned this yesterday. He mentioned it this morning as well. Has the economic development office in the City of Charlottesville coordinated with Monticello as they celebrate the 250 year anniversary of America? I do not have a picture of Randy. You would think the City of Charlottesville and its economic development office would be working in unison with Monticello and the 250s. The Bison, the Biscally. The Bist. The Bison Centennial, is that what it is?

I think it's 250 years, right? Is it bicentennial? That's such a dumb question on the program. No, biocentennial is 200. Okay, what is the 250 year anniversary? Just a second. I'm sure it's going in our feed right now. Viewers and listeners, help a brother out.

Are they in cahoots or unison or harmony on that? semi Semic quintennial Okay I can't say that three times fast Semi quin centennial Semi quintinennial Semi quintennial Ladies

He's single and ready to mingle Yeah I can sing semi quintentennial At your birthday party or wedding Ladies he's single and ready to mingle Have they worked in any Cahoots conjunction Have what now

or unison, City Hall with Monticello, July 4th is 250 years of America. Yeah. We cannot call purchasing the Holiday Drive office building for $6.2 or $6.4 million economic development because it won't open for 36 more months, three years, and they're going to need another $8 to $10 million from us.

And they haven't even gotten started, and the beds have already, what, been cut in half? Yeah. It went from 200 and some beds to 80. Spencer Pushart, his photo on screen. Is there a dogwood parade this year? Not that I know of. Is there first night Virginia this year?

Not that I know of. Are we going to call a Christmas tree that we call the hairy fern? What are the names of the Christmas trees on the downtown mall? Untrim. Was it oatmeal? I thought it was oatmeal three. Fatty the Fern? Let's see.

Freckley fernie. Oh, Christmas tree. That Christmas tree is huge. But can someone manicure the tree in any capacity to shape it? It needs like the manscape things that you get in the mail. No one wants a bush. Don't make it a bush. I don't want the bush.

Do you want the bush? Not the bush. One of the names was the bush. Boots with the fur. Boots with the fur. Oatmeal the third. How about the land? standing strip. Spruce Lee would have been nice.

Spruce Lee. I'd have enjoyed that. Spruce Willis. Spruce Willis was 23. Neil Williamson says he always votes for Spruce Springsteen. Spruce Springsteen, there you go. Muriel Marshall Barnes. Fireworks in the park won't happen this year. You're rotating lower throats all over the screen. So you're telling me we can't have a 4th of July parade. We can't have a fireworks, in the park in McIntyre. We can't have a dogwood parade. We can't have a first night in Virginia.

We can't have a designated outdoor refreshment area, a beer garden on the downtown mall. We can't have policy that prevents sheltering in place. We can't have a policy that prevents the storage of personal belongings in place. We can have policy in place that prevents trash and tents and trauma and tomfoolery on the Rivana Trail. Oh, I've got pictures. Show the photos, Judah. Give them what they want. This is courtesy of the Charlottesville subreddit,

a place that Judah and I are beloved. Charlottesville subreddit is men and women that are anonymously full of such joyous. Anonymously full of what? Emotionally positive intelligence. All right, men. Here we go. Look at the Rivana Trail.

Do you think I would take our son? to this? Do you think I would take our sons to this? Are you rotating the photos on screen? Look at the screen. Look at the screen. We're not taking our sons to this. Would you run alone here? Ladies that are watching this program, would you run

by yourself on this trail in the middle of the day? That's the question. Ladies, would you run by yourself and the, I don't even think I would run alone in the middle of the day here, would you? I'd have some serious qualms about running that trail any time of the day.

Yeah. Definitely wouldn't go at night. This is by, you could see Free Bridge in the background. One of those photos is Free Bridge. This is one of the, this is the trailhead. Right? Isn't that what you call the entry point of the trail? I guess so.

I guess so. What are we effing doing, city manager? Sam Sanders and city council. And everyone who watches this program, Jerry, you started with the program, you started with the show with the war on Iran, and you asked the question, what is America doing in the war in Iran?

A lot to lose and not much to gain. Why are you talking about this? I'm talking about this because there's seven effing dead American soldiers who have family, wives, and husbands, and children, and parents that right now are crying and lamenting their loss. I'm talking about it because of the, the tension, the turmoil, the instability globally that undoubtedly materializes and manifests locally.

I'm talking about the inflation that will follow. I'm talking about the gentrification that will follow. I'm talking about the collateral damage that without question will impact Charlottesville whether we like it or not. And to the folks that say in the chat box and I respect your opinion tremendously, I've feared Iran for 50 years. I respect your fear. I do. But I'm of the mindset that we take the hundreds of millions of dollars, the billions of dollars that we're spending on this war in Iran on the other side of the world,

and we allocate that financial resources, taxpayer dollars, to protecting the borders of the country, to strengthening our defense domestically. Why not take the money the billions of dollars that is going to this war in Iran to reimagine a country that's terroristic in its control? To try to infuse or implement democracy all the way across the world, a country that we will never be able to police in its democracy once we start the ball, the ball rolling, the democratic ball rolling down the mountain. We'll never be able to maintain the momentum.

The Ayatollah's son is now in control. A man that is even more lunatic and angry and terroristic and full of fury than his father will never be able to maintain civility and democracy over there. Why don't we take the effort, the opportunity costs associated with that effort, the money, the taxpayer resources associated with that effort, and strengthen defense locally and domestically? Why don't we take it as a way to embolden or momentumize, the lower class and the middle class

by offering some kind of tax incentives. Why don't we figure out jobs? Why don't we start prioritizing the fact that artificial intelligence is literally making this the most challenging job market ever, at least in a long time? Why don't we highlight the K-shaped economy? The war in Iran's not going to impact Charlottesville.

Bullshit. I want to highlight Charles. Charlestville Sanitary Supply, 62 years in business. Charlottesville Sanitary Supply has an e-commerce website at Charlottesfellanitary Supply.com, or you can buy anything cleaning and sanitary, anything swimming pool, anything vacuum-related, and have it delivered to your doorstep the same day.

Charlestville Sanitary Supply is locally owned and operated by a Vermillion family that is like the best, the best dudes ever, like the best people ever. Just honest guys, I enjoy them, their company. No doubt. Honest people. Five generations in Almar County, three generations of business ownership, and a sister business, Charlottesville Swimming Pool Company. That is anything swimming pool related to conciergeers or consultant in the region, you contact Charlottesville Swimming Pool Company at shaltzfulswimmingpoolcom first. We do with our family swimming pool.

Maria Marshall Barnes is photo on screen. The trash, the tents and the trauma, and Tom Fool, on the Rivana Trail. It's crazy. I couldn't believe it when I saw it from the road. How are we allowing a gateway? The trailhead

at the Rivana Trail is a gateway to the city. How many tens of thousands of people, if not, 100,000 people or so enter the city of Charlottesville through that quarter? Yeah.

No, seriously. I don't know. It's easily tens of thousands. Yeah, it's a lot. and as they're entering the city of Charlottesville, hey, we're one of the best cities to live in the world. Come down Freebridge, down Pantops Mountain, all you Almar Countyans,

and come work in Charlottesville and shop in Charlottesville and spend your money in Charlottesville. Oh, on your way in, look at that Sandersville. Look at Sandersville. Look at that tent town. Oh, and on your way in, check out the tent town suburb

that's on the downtown mall. The suburb. We have a tent town and a suburb of tent town right down high street up at the downtown mall. Neil Williamson watching the program. He says we push back on the concept that such an ordinance is criminalizing the

unhouse. Is it criminalizing hunger when shoplifting laws are enforced? No. Caring, courageous communities enforce the law and help the hungry by providing food pantries and soup kitchens. Is it criminalizing the lack of transportation when carjackings are prosecuted? No, caring, courageous communities prosecute carjackers and help the transportation challenge by eliminating transit fares. The downtown mall is city property. As property rights organization, we believe

that those rights should be protected, as should the rights of Charlottesville property. owners. Amen. Brother Williamson. Well said. And he spoke before council, right, before city council and Juan Diego Wade, the mayor, allowed Greer Ackenbach, the head of friends of Seville, to be lamb-baseded by 200 activists that seem to be controlling the city. And if you don't stand up and start realizing this, that urban policy group, that whatever the hell livable Seville is, I don't know what they are, urban lobbying group livable Seville, led by Stephen, Johnson and Matthew Gilligan, if you viewers and listeners do not start pushing back on them on social media by saying you livable civil are driving without question and increased tax base, higher taxes

and gentrifying your community, our community, by your crazy wackadoo policies, then you are doing our community a disservice. I do it all the time and it's time for you, the viewer and listeners, stand up and man up and woman up and do the same. Comments are coming in. Faster than I can keep up. Water cooler, content, and conversation. I want to give some attention to 919, Druid Avenue in Belmont. 919, Druid Avenue, goodness gracious, you talk about phenomenal opportunity, Katie Mullins, Ben Mullins, Chris Coiner, 919 Druid Avenue, four bedrooms, four baths, 2200 square feet, a basement apartment. 919, Druid Avenue, ladies and gentlemen, is going to be an $800,000 plus home. It's got a $699,000 price tag, and it is absolutely awesome.

I got this guy in the I Love Civo group, Philip Boolanger. Philip Boolanger is attacking me because I at symbol everyone in the group. In the I Love Civo group. I use the at everyone in the group to drive attention to a talk show we do. I want you to consider Philip Boolanger. This guy right here, Phil Boolinger. Okay. He has an issue with me at-simbling everyone in the group.

But it's our group. Instead of unfollowing the group, he believes the proper response is to leave dozens and dozens of sentences of attacking commentary on why I should not at-simble everyone in the group and how I should be held accountable on everything that I say on this show.

despite the fact that he hates it, it drives him crazy, he's infuriated by what I write and what I say, thinks I should be held accountable for politics and everything I have to offer on the show. But instead of simply unfollowing the group, he chooses instead to spend hours within the group, engaging with the group, and the content of the group. We own the group, we own the brand,

we own the platform. We're certainly not going to change for anyone, let alone someone with the last name Boo Langer. Is that a problem? Okay? This is the world we live in right here. Yeah. To all you Boo Langer's out there,

we ain't changing for you. He leaves this comment. Looks like you know you have some serious introspection to do before you could lecture anyone about anything. Well, thank you for joining our group. Thank you, Philip Boolanger, joining our group and leaving dozens of comments in our group in the last 24-hour period of time about why you don't like the group instead of just leaving the group.

Make it make sense. I can't make it make sense. Make it make sense. Insanity. Oh, Philip Boo-Langer. I think we're going to start calling things in Charlestville. You got boo-langered. What does that mean?

That's a boo-langer. Is that when somebody stands around outside your house? In fact, you know what? I'm going to answer. Philip Boonger. It tells you how much they dislike your phone long. We are chatting about you, about you now live on the I Love Seville Show. Philip Boolanger. Carly Wagner watching the program.

A lot of respect for Carly Wagner. Jerry, did you see his debate? She's talking about Matthew Gilligan. Matthew Gilligan here. a coach, Livable Seville. I actually did see your interaction with him, Carly Wagner. I thought you won the argument decisively.

Did you see Matthew Gilligan's debate about needing to spend more money on Charlottesville, out more transportation, despite demand and ridership being at an all-time low and actually declining annually for the past eight years? Matthew Gilligan, Stephen Johnson, and Livable Seaville, I want you to help me understand something. You are literally lobbying the city of Charlottesville.

Matthew Gilliken and Stephen Johnson. are lobbying the city of Charlottesville to spend more money on public transportation in Charlottesville with Kat. Yet Charlottesville-Almorrow Transportation is on an eight-year decline with ridership and is at an all-time low

with the patrons that use Charlottesville-Almore transportation. Okay, but what part of that is because spending has been horrible on it? Matthew Goehan's like, I'm asking a question. All the ridership will uptick if we increase the routes and make them more consistent. Nah, dog, no, dude.

The ridership's decreased because your obscene policies has made this community so expensive to live. The only people that can afford to live in Charlottesville have three cars, a Prius and a Subaru. And they don't need to get in a tin can that's an electric bus that can't get from point A to B without running out of power. Michael Payne. Let's get them electric buses here. It's good for the environment. Hey, I don't care that those electric buses

are four times the cost of the gasoline buses. The taxpayers are going to pay for it. I don't have to worry about paying for it. I live at the basement of my mom and dad's house. My type generating income stream is the $18,000 I'm making on city council. I see the, I saw the foia that I saw the financial

statements of the counselors. I can verify everything I'm saying about Michael Payne and his income stream. The 18K is true. You know why you can make 18K a year? Because you live in your parents' basement as a mid-30s man. But let's get the electric buses, four times the cost of the gas-powered buses. Because we need those electric buses to preserve the environment, despite the electric buses being significantly more, significantly less reliable and more likely to break down and the cost of repair them being much more expensive than the gas powered ones. Make it make sense. Let's throw hundreds of thousands. Let's throw millions of dollars at Kat. Let's let's let's let's get these bus drivers and let's pay them $75,000 a year to drive around in an empty tin can where eight years of ridership

decline. Literally backed up facts here, folks. Make it make sense. Make it make sense. Spencer Bushard says I need to respond to Philip Boo Langer within everyone.

One more thing. Everyone is watching us talking about you. We even got his name on screen. I sent it. I just boo-langard, boo-langer. Check the feed. You've been boo-langered.

That was unscripted, unfiltered, un-affiliated, and un-affraid. You've been boo-langered. You've been boo-langered. Write that down. Boo-langered. You've been boo-langered. Spencer Pushard said he just spit his drink out with the Mike Payne basement comment. Nice.

You've been boo-langered. You're sorry about your drink. Thank you. Carly Wagner, the demand is clearly not there for Kat. And his response, Matthew Gillikins, is that we just need to offer more routes to increase the demand. Economics 101, supply and demand, there is no need for buses because most of the daily trips are long commutes.

Kids pickup is too scattered geographically, but compact time-wise, construction crews needing equipment and materials, grocery halls. The way American suburbs are built doesn't lend itself to mass transit. certainly not Charlottesvilles. The folks that can afford to live in Charlottesville are driving Priuses and Subaru's, and they have three of them. They don't need bus transportation. But what about the people that do?

They're clearly not riding it. Eight years of decline. John Blair's got a comment. He says, this is way outside my lane, but one rationale I've read about the Iran intervention is that both Iran and Venezuela have been supplying below market oil to China. And potentially both of these moves are more geared towards harming China and its economy in the long term.

Again, I have no idea how to measure that, but that's a theory that I've read. I've also read that theory as well. Yeah. That this whole Iranian war is to destabilize China and Russia. I mean, Russia does enough of its own destabilizing, but China definitely needs... Some destabilizing, some boo-langering.

Some boo-langering. We need a boo-langer China. Let's boo-langer that China. Oh, man. I've read that as well. So many theories. Let's distract the American public on Jeffrey Epstein and my links to Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump.

Let's destabilize China. Let's destabilize Russia. Let's reimagine Iran into a democracy. Let's fight for the 30,000 that are dead at the hands of a terrorist. Let's kill that terrorist and replace him with a handpicked terrorist. Our handpicked person of our own. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

The man we killed, his son is nastier than the man we killed, and now he's in charge. Let's fight him with missiles. Let's fight them with billions of dollars of military weaponry when they're using $1 drones to fight back. Let's deplete our weaponry reserves. They're using $1 drones to fight us. Holly Foster and Henrico. She says there's not a chance in Aichi double hockey sticks.

Those are my words. But she says there's no way I would walk that trail. I've only been to your studio once and I didn't feel safe coming from the parking garage due to the homeless. And this is Holly Foster, a woman of sophistication, a woman of affluence, a woman that is looking to spend money in Charleston and Almore County. Holly, would you say that's accurate? Holly Foster is a woman of sophistication, a woman of education, a woman of affluence,

a woman that is looking to support and shop local, a woman who visits Charlottesville often from Henrico, Almaro County, looking to spend disposable income, and says she doesn't feel safe going from the Market Street garage to our studio on Market Street. That's a microcosm. We appreciate you, Holly Foster. He's got a phenomenal dog name Luke.

She gave us some awesome twizzlers. Yeah. And a bottle of McCallin, was it, McCallon 12? McCallon 10. One of the best bottles we've had in this office. Love you, Holly Foster. You absolutely, Holly Foster, have not. been boo-langered. It's 138 on a glorious and gorgeous Tuesday afternoon. Ginny Who says,

and if Boo-long, if Boo-Langer can't simply unfollow, he can go into his own settings and turn the everyone-notification off. Boolanger, you're boo-langering yourself. You've hoisted by your own boolangers. Oh man, we can, we're going to have so much fun with this guy's name. So I got a family guy reference Is it the family guy with the quagmire Quagmire? Gagggygygygy Gagggyty

Gagggy The Langer Boomhauer You're talking about boomhauer From From King of the Hill King of the Hill The dig on

You know He don't I don't know about that thing You got me Thing And done the is that what you're thinking of? I'm dying.

I'm dying. Keep going, please. I can't. I have to read a script of his. I'm crying. That's exactly what I was thinking about. I got him confused. Oh, man.

Jason Noble. Tremendous respect for Jason Noble. We agree on a lot of stuff. We disagree on some stuff. We disagree on the stuff. this war I ran. He says the Ayatollah son is reportedly severely injured by the attack that killed his father. His father also wrote in his will that he didn't wish his son to take over. I understand that, Jason, but why is the son now taken over? Why is the son now taking over? Because the father is dead.

All right, we've got to close the show. We're going to go make some money. Let's give some love to Stanley Martin Holmes. Stanley Martin Holmes is trusted. Stanley Martin Holmes.

will not be playing in the ACC tournament including one starter that's likely out for the remainder of the year. There's very much an opportunity for men's basketball to win the ACC tournament, UVA men's basketball. Two of Duke's five starters are out. UVA has a much clearer path to an ACC tournament title now.
