Speaker 1 (00:00):
You got a federal lawsuit claiming that members of the
high school football team hazed and sexually abused a student,
and that reared Nan newstaff covered up the incidents. Subode
Chandra Chandra Law Firm here in Cleveland handling this case.
Subode Chandra joining me right now. So about I know
there's certain things you could talk about, certain things you can't.
So I'm just gonna ask questions, answer what you can,
(00:23):
and I'll start with the rumor mill is rampant about
what went on here. I've been hearing that some of
the stuff that went on is even more heinous than
what has been reported. What can you tell us as
far as this harassment towards this young man.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
So, the family we represent and thanks for having us
on paying attention to this matter. But the family that
we represent, that a son, his sister who i'll refer to,
his daughter, and his mom have filed a federal civil
rights law suit against ERSLA and high school, its principal,
assistant principal, and several football coaches, along with the Catholic
(01:08):
Diocese at Youngstown. And they have filed it alleging that
this boy football player, freshman football player, was allegedly hazed,
physically and sexually assaulted, subjected to the creation and dissemination
of what's effectively child born of those incidents during a
(01:29):
football camp trip, a nine day trip in June of
twenty twenty five, and it names as defendants also many
football players and their parents as defendants.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
How much.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Is the evidence strong text messages, video evidence. Do you
feel that the evidence leaves no doubt as to what
transpired here?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Well, here's what I can tell you and your listeners
can evaluate this for themselves at our website Chondra law
dot com. You know, we have a media release with
a link to the two hundred page complaint and includes
screenshots of you know, photographs and text messages. Obviously, we
are not going to put into the public record what
(02:15):
are you know, essentially child born videos that were disseminated
on Snapchat and into the community. But we have represented
to the court that we have possession of those, you know,
in evidentiary custody. We can't represent that ethically as lawyers
to the court unless we have the video evidence of
what transpired. So, you know, there's two hundred pages of
(02:36):
detail there and people can evaluate for themselves what they
think the strength of the evidence is going to be.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I believe you made the comment. They did not suspend
the football season. They did not investigate, they did not
interview all the players on the trip. They did not
suspend Reary McGlynn or Serenotis. Even though they were on
the trip. They were aware of what was going to occur,
what did occur, and they failed directify, prevent or stop
the hazing, attacks, assaults in child porn, all of which
are criminal acts.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
It sounds like you feel very secure.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
That adults knew what was going on yet did nothing
or tried to cover it up.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, the lawsuit is alleging that the coaches knew what
was going on. The coaches were aware of it, you know,
they were. Some of this activity was occurring on the
bus trip, and that will be the subject of an
amended and supplemental complaints. Some of the you know, activity
among the players and the coaches were distributed across the bus,
(03:35):
one in the front, one in the middle, one in
the back. And again the suit is clearly alleging that
the coaches were aware of what was going on and
yet did nothing to stop it. And and the suit
also alleges that the mom after the trip, when she
became aware of all of this from her son, raised
(03:56):
this with the coach and his response was, it's just
boys being boys. He did not act surprised, he didn't
act shocked. His immediate gut response was it's just boys
being boys.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
That is that is hard for me to comprehend. It's
hard for me to comprehend.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
That, if these allegations are true, that adults just turned
a blind eye to I mean, sode what has been
put out there as of now, as far as you
know what was done to this criminal harassing, assault, sexual assault, battery,
cad I and all the charges. But you know, I'm
hearing that even more grotesque things may have went on.
(04:37):
It's hard for I think me and people out there
listening right now to comprehend that adults would simply turn
their back on something like this.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Well, so, what the original sin alleged in the lawsuit
is that the two of these coaches allegedly had problematic
backgrounds from previous employment, including, allegedly, in the case of
head coach Reardon, his prior stint at that very high
school ursula in high school, and so much so that
(05:10):
a diocesan senior official who was responsible for approving hiring
in these schools opposed the rehiring of Riarden to be
head coach, but according to the complaint, the president of
the school, Father Murphy, insisted on it, and the then bishop,
(05:31):
who has since passed overruled the diocesan official and authorized
the hiring. So this hazing culture is also alleged in
the complaint to have gone back for quite some time.
And I can tell your listeners that since the suit
was filed, we have been hearing from other alleged victims
(05:52):
and witnesses to issues with the football program and with
accountability by the coaches and by senior administrators, and we
are investigating all of that. We would continue to welcome
hearing from additional victims and witnesses. Some people are finally
having the courage to speak up and reach out. Obviously,
(06:13):
we have to investigate all of that before we act further,
either in amending or supplementing this complaint or in bringing
new ones. But we do welcome hearing from people. We
want them to know they can contact us through Chandra
Law dot Com securely and to be heard at last talking.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
To attorneys Chonder Law Firm here in Cleveland. Why this kid?
I mean, I know you're you're thinking there's others out there,
but as of right now, it's it's this kid in
his sister. Do you think there are more kids that
have allegedly been hazed like this individual?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
And if not, why this kid?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Well, the suit, the suit does allege that this was
part of a hazing culture and that this happened to
other children as well as to this child. He was
a freshman and he was new that hazing was being
performed by older, larger football players. That's what the suit
is alleging. And there were students that were recording, there
(07:17):
were students that were then saving that disseminating those recordings.
This was, according to the suit, a part of the
culture of the football program, the indulged by the coaches.
And again I did leave something out in our earlier
conversation that the mother also brought this the attention of
(07:38):
the administrators and alleges that no serious internal investigative action
was taken and no serious discipline imposed on players or
certainly the coaches. We're only seeing some of that action
now that some of this has become public, at least
with respect to coaches. But there's still no action by
the dioceses as to the administrators of the school, which
(08:01):
again the family really takes exception to. There should be
accountability all around. Players, administrators, coaches.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Are the accused. Players still playing.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
To the best of our knowledge, Yes, there are one
or two players who we believe have transferred to other
schools and may be playing there. But some of many
of the other people involved, to the best of our knowledge,
are still playing if the football season is allowed to continue,
have participated in practices and so forth. So that's where
(08:32):
the family feels that accountability is deficient. And I can
tell you that the mother is extremely determined to see
accountability from top to bottom. Here. She's just that she
had to pull her kids out of the school. The daughter,
as the suit alleges, was intimidated by a player and
his friends with you people literally pointing their fingers at
(08:53):
their eyes and pointing to her and saying we are
watching you, staring her down going to her workplace for
no legitimate reason. So the mom is absolutely determined to
see accountability here.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Your quota is saying it's a smidgeon of something, but
it's a week first step and only that. So reading
between the lines of that, I'm assuming you believe that
this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Yeah, And that was in reference to the school's announcement
yesterday about two coaches being placed on administrative leave and
the head coach being so supposedly quote unquote agreeing to suspension.
The family's position is that the administrators need to be
placed on leave pending a complete and thorough top to
(09:39):
bottom review and investigation, and players need to be held accountable,
and that would be the first real steps, meaningful steps
to work justice for them.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
All right, So both, thank you very much for coming
on today and I'll check back in keep me posted.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Thank you. We'd love to hear from additional witnesses. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Welcome seven twenty one on this Wednesday morning, The Bloomdaddy
Experience Sam and Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. It's
been uh, it's been an odd morning so far. I've
learned something Otis taught me something did you ever have?
And here's how it started. Okay, a little behind the
(10:22):
scenes for you, so no stop before we get into that.
We're gonna have plenty of chances for you to win
this morning and that's our first chance is going to
be coming up very shortly, hint, hint, very shortly. We've
got a pair of tickets to the rock and roll
do Wop show happening let's say October fourth, So stay
(10:43):
tuned for that that's coming up. But I go back
to so this morning, do you ever have a word that,
no matter how many times you have wrote it, you've
typed it, you know how to spell it when you
when you look at it, you always second yes yourself
always because no matter what, it doesn't look like it's right. Well,
(11:05):
that happened to me this morning with the word Wednesday.
I always I always second guess myself always. It drives
me nuts. So I say to him, all right, otis
is this right? Wednesday? W E D N E S
D A Y. And he said, you mean Woden's Day?
(11:26):
And I stopped look at I went, what what are
you talking about? And he goes, you know, Woden's Day
And I went, no, Wednesday, and he's messing with me.
He's messing with me. And he goes, that's what it
was originally called. And I went, yeah, okay, sure, because
never heard that term before. I mean, I'm thinking is
this something out of you know, the show that used
(11:47):
to be on Vikings with Ragnar Lothbrook or whatever, because
that's what it sounded like to me. No, it's real,
it's a real Yes, please please.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
The Engli Wednesday from the Old English Wolden's Dog meaning
Woden's Day, honoring the Germanic chief god Wodin also known
as Odin, who was associated with wisdom, war, and magic.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
There you have it, there's your little educational tidbit for
the morning.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
And the fact that I knew that off the top
of my head was little.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
That's why I'm like, I thought, he's mess he's messing
with me, he's pulling my leg. This can't be real. No,
it's real. And then he said do you think that
just popped into my head that quickly?
Speaker 5 (12:31):
I said it a little differently, but yeah, yes.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
And I'm like, well, okay, that makes sense too, that
makes sense too.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
But yeah, said I'm not going to pull that out
of my butt in like ten seconds.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
There's your little, your little educational tidbit for the morning.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
You're a little I don't know if it's educational, but
it's just your little bit.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Of trivial Yeah, yeah, do you ever think how much
useless information you have in your head?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (12:56):
I know there's a ton of it, because I have
a very large head. You know.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
That came to mind yesterday we were talking. I forgot
how we got into We're uh Dukes of Hazzard. It
was Tom Woo Pat's birthday, and I said something about,
you know, that was my Friday nights growing up. It
was due because of hazard Dallas and Falcon Crest. We
actually had a response on our text line that said
that was my Friday Friday nights. I loved all those
good shows. But when I left the studio yesterday, you
(13:27):
know when something like that, you know that when you
reminisce about that, I go back and I'm like, okay,
so that was Friday night. What was Saturday Night? Well,
Saturday Night was NBC and that was The Golden Girls
and Empty Nest. And why do I remember that? Do
you know what I mean? Do you ever stop and
go why is this in my memory?
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Because something happened that it made its stand out? So
there words like yeah, I mean like I could remember
as a kid, Charlie's Angels was on Wednesdays at ten
o'clock and I you know. And again I said I
was a kid, so I was probably under ten, so
I had to be in bed by ten o'clock. Well,
I convinced my parents to let me stay up and
watch Charlie's Angels on Wednesday night. So for the adventure, right, oh, no,
(14:11):
for the for the storyline.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
It wasn't for the Fair Foster.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Yeah, yeah, okay, she was. It was her, Kate Jackson
and Jacquelin Smith were the three original.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Oh Jacqueline Smith, she still looks good. Yeah, she was gorgeous.
But it was for the it was for the storylines.
Absolutely had nothing.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
And then Cheryl led took Fair Foster it's place, and
then then then a slew of them left and came
back and left and whatever.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Yeah, but isn't it weird?
Speaker 5 (14:40):
How just Saturday night? For me it was the Love
Boat nine o'clock.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
And assuming I pulled that out of you know where Yesterday.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Island at ten o'clock on Saturday night, then you'd have
to watch the news with your grandparents at eleven and
then Saturday Night out Live came on at eleven thirty.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Well, and see, once Duke Duke's a Hazard left and
it ran its course for me it was Doctor Quinn
Medicine Woman, and then it was such a nerd Walker
Texas Ranger.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
You ever watch that show now?
Speaker 4 (15:12):
It's horrible Walker Texas Ranger.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
No.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
I didn't want to watch it back then, but I
grew up with one TV station.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
I watched. I watched like one episode, and I'm like,
how did this stay on the air for as long
as it.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Stayed on a long time? Yeah, I grew up with
one TV station.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
But it's just everybody was afraid to fire Chuck Norris.
That's what it was.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
They'd be afraid of fire him today. Somebody told me
that was a movie first before it was a TV show,
and the movie was really good.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
Was it made for TV movie?
Speaker 4 (15:42):
I have no idea because I don't.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Ever remember like a Walker Texas Ranger. I mean that's
that's sometimes that's how they'll start. They'll get a made
for TV movie and then and then if it's successful,
then they make it a series. That's what That's how
they used to do it. They don't do that anymore.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
I am not a Chuck Norris officient auto I am.
I am not sure, but yeah, sometimes it's just like
you stop and you go why do I know this?
Why do I remember this? Who knows? Who knows?
Speaker 5 (16:05):
But there are just the way I mean, you can
remember theme songs that shows that you haven't even seen
in you Yeah, I mean I'm not even talking about
like repeats, but like you know, certain things on certain
shows that you could remember. I mean, like like Captain
Kangaroo when picture pages were coming on, I can remember, yeah, or.
Speaker 4 (16:24):

on this happy hump Day Wednesday, because coming up in
the eight o'clock hour, we're gonna have politics unleashed and
(18:12):
we're gonna hit on some heavy topics, so we're kind
of keeping it light here in the first hour. How's
that sound to you, mister otis.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
In there, Sure sounds great.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
The enthusiasm just knocks me off my seat.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Well, I was a get a message, and I was
trying to read and respond, Oh, my apologies, that's okay.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
My apologies. Multitasking folks. Sometimes it's tough. Sometimes it's tough ladies.
We know it's tough for men. Well, I didn't even
get a look with that comment. I thought i'd at
least get an acknowledgment with that little bit of a rip.
But I guess not. I guess not. So there something
(18:50):
going on with our older population. Something is changing for
the Americans that are sixty five in older. They have
decided to partake more or enjoy more cannabis. It has
(19:17):
jumped forty five I'm sorry, forty six percent in the
age demographic of sixty five in older. Now, this was
a study that has been recently been done and it
lasted between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty three. This
(19:37):
increase comes as, of course, it has become legalized in
forty states. That makes a difference. And think about it.
If you think about that population, that age, that would
bring in a reason for a lot of medical usage.
So I think that balances it out. But then if
(19:59):
you take somebody who's sixty five and older, we're talking,
you know, the age demographic that probably enjoyed it in
their twenties, you know, so they're going back to some
fun that they remember from back in the day. At
California's Trilogy Retirement Community, seventy four year old Gail Crawley
(20:22):
says cannabis offers a good solution to a lot of
medical issues. Resident Stephen Clark tells CBS News the drug
does work on PTSD, pain issues, relaxation issues, brain disorders,
and heart disease. The relaxation issue, I don't know, and
(20:44):
maybe I should give it a try. Maybe I should
give it a try. Since last week, and if anybody
out there has any suggestions besides the use of cannabis.
And I don't know if it's because the changing of
the seasons or what. I can't sleep. I can't sleep.
(21:06):
I am waking up every forty five minutes to an
hour and I'm and for no particular reason, my eyes
are just popping wide open, and then I just lay there.
I just lay there, and eventually, about fifteen twenty minutes later,
I fall back asleep. An hour later, boom, I'm awake.
(21:28):
I don't know what's going on. So I am asking
you if you have any suggestions, any ideas. I'm wide open.
I'm wide open to the point I don't even know
if I should say this on air. Should I try dummies?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Why not?
Speaker 4 (21:50):
I mean, at this point in time, I've done I've
done the melatonin, and I've tried the melton. I tried
the melatonin over the weekend because I didn't want to
take it like sure and not wake up in the
morning for it. For this but it's almost like I
don't want to say, become immune to it, but it's not.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
What about like tilan l PM, I haven't done that.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
I don't want to take a melotonin is it doesn't
seem as pharmaceutical to me. It's a it's not a vitamin,
but it's more natural. I don't want to take a
sleeping pill because then I don't want to feel like
a slug when.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
I wake up till PM. You don't really feel like
a slug. No kind of relaxes your body. So if
you get any little aches and pains going on too
so And that's the thing. It's not that I know,
but I mean it might be. But it also like calms,
you you know, also it helps. I've taken them before.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Maybe I'll stop and get some and try that. It's
just it's And here's the other thing. I get mad
at myself, like why are you awake again? So then
I lay there and I'm mad, and then it's harder
to fall back asleep. But I just wondered with the
timing of things, if it has anything to do with,
like I said, the flipping of the seasons. So again,
(23:03):
if anybody has any suggestions out there, I am moving
those happy.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
Drinks that you can buy like there's THC soda, there's
THC like seltzers. Can I get them around here?
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Well, I guess i'd have to have a card.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
No, No, they're just they're under the three point.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
They don't hit that particular level.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Yeah, and they got them in ten mili twenty milligram.
I see them at the stores all the time.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
M all right, you're gonna have to tell tell me
what they are, what to look for. So I'm at
this point in time, I am willing to uh to
try anything because it is the most frustrating scenario because
when I go to bed, I'm tired, like I'm nodding
off on the couch. I'm that tired. But then it's
(23:51):
like as soon as I lay down an hour later,
I'm wide awake again. And like I said, the frustration
then builds and then I lay there and then your
mind runs and you can't turn your mind off. And
it's just I'm to the point where, like I said,
I am asking for your help. So if anybody has
any pointers, suggestions, things that have worked for you, you
(24:12):
can email me Saminiheartmedia dot Com, call us one hundred
sixty fort eleven seven year, text us seven zero four
seven zero. This is the voice of desperation. This is
the voice of desperation because I need I need some help.
I need something because I can't keep going on this way.
(24:34):
I just can't. So if you can tell I'm even
this morning a bit, it's like adrenaline. It's keeping me going.
It's the adrenaline. It's keeping me going. So again, any.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
Income to the same complain segment, I'm not complaining.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
I'm asking for help. I'm asking for help. So some
news happened overnight locally I wanted to pass along. Have
you ever heard of the Continental Football League? Yes, well
it's bringing its headquarters to Wheeling.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
Oh that's the one that the IHI Valley Iron member
and correct.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
I don't think so, was it?
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Okay, Well, the former Football League has risen from the
ashes and it's going to be headquartered right here in.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
Wheeling, Man. He probably had something to do with that.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Wesh. I didn't even I didn't even put two and
two together. I could reach out to him.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
The Continental Football League is what the Ironman used to
be in back in the day.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Okay, okay, Well, Mike Kelly is going to be the
commissioner of the new league. I don't want to be
a naysayer, but I'm going to be a little bit
of course. Maybe it's the food I'm in today. I
don't know. Has it gotten to the point when we
(25:54):
hear announcements like this that the enthusiasm just as it
really there? Or is that just me?
Speaker 5 (26:03):
Probably just you?
Speaker 4 (26:04):
You don't think we've been burned too many times at
this point with these leagues and there's there's all of this.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
It's minor league, so there, that's that's just to be expected.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
That's the name of the game. It just happens that.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Way for the most part. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Interesting, Well, I'll.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Especially in football, Baseball is a different story.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
So and I mean the Nailers have been successful for
decades at this point.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Yeah, but we've had we've had a lot of minor
league football, That's what I mean. Leagues and teams come
through here, whether it be indoor and now we've had outdoor. Yeah,
so you know, I mean, I can understand you know,
your pessimism.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Sure that's the right word.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Yeah, I didn't say it wasn't.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Okay. I'm going to reach out to the U to
mister Kelly see if we can get him on the
show to discuss the changes and why Wheeling? You know
why Wheeling? So seven forty six, you're like the bloom

(28:49):
Got an email about my sleep issues from a nurse practitioner,
just wondering your age. Well, huh, well, let's say mid forties.
We'll say mid forties. But this person recommends a doctor
(29:09):
in Dennis in Ohio and maybe a hormone issue. Well,
thank you, Corey. I appreciate the information, but I am
not going to put the actual number of age out there.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
Well, are you scared?
Speaker 4 (29:24):
I'm not scared. I just don't want to No, I'm
forty five. I am forty five. There, I'm not afraid
to say it. I'm not afraid to say it. So
you have two adult sons, otis is there anything beyond
(29:45):
bodily harm that would keep you from attending a milestone
in their life? So, whether it is their graduation, their wedding,
things like that, anything.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
No, I don't think so, Okay, well it.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Does rosy O'Donnell. Now she moved to where she escaped
the country. I couldn't remember if it was Ireland or Scotland. Well,
she missed her middle daughter's college graduation. All right, this
is college college graduation because of safety concerns linked to
(30:26):
President Trump. According to her, She told a podcast called
no filter, that her security advisors warned her it was
unwise to attend. And this is in quotes because I
think Trump will use me to rile his base. O'Donnell,
who moved to Ireland earlier this year, added that Trump
(30:48):
has often targeted her publicly. She's done the same thing verbally, right,
there's no There hasn't been any direct physical threats that
I have ever read or heard.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
That's her Trump derangement syndrome kicking in. That's also her
trying to stay relevant because she's not. And so she
by saying that she was scared of Trump to come
to her daughter's graduation. That's her way of staying in
the headlines.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Oh, absolutely so. But she wants out of this country,
but she still wants in.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
To have her assassinated. I mean, she's not worth it.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
She hasn't been relevant for years. Yeah, her last stint
was what.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
On the probably her show? No? Was she on the View?
I don't know. I don't pay attention to.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
The I think she was on the View at one
point in time. She has the relevant haircut and glasses
that I mentioned the other day. She has she has
the look happening. So you know, she's got she's relevant
that way. And then there's a woman and I'm not
going to tell the state. I'm not gonna say the state.
There is a woman who is facing felony charges after
(32:07):
she allegedly registered her dog to vote and she cast
the animal cast a ballot in a recent election. Can
you guess what state this person is from?
Speaker 5 (32:22):
My guess would be California.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
That's a pretty good guess, from Orange County. The Los
Angeles Times says the woman in Costa Mesa registered her
dog Maya to vote in California during the pandemic, and
voted for the dog through the mail during the twenty
twenty one recall election of Governor Newsom mail in ballot shocker.
(32:46):
While that ballot was accepted, she was caught the next
year trying to vote in the twenty twenty two federal
election and now faces felony charges that could lead to
six years in prison. The woman had posted on so
social media about the dog voting in twenty twenty one
and then caught the Uh. The dog has since passed away, unfortunately,
(33:08):
so Maya rest in peace.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Price still voting.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
She's still voting. Yeah, she's still voting, all right, let's
do our next chance to win. We're gonna do a
gift certificates valued up fifty dollars from our friends at
McCormick's Auto. So let's do one eight hundred sixty two
four eleven seventy one eight hundred sixty two four eleven seventy.
(33:32):
All you have to do is call and you can win, hopefully.
Let's do caller number. You did thirteen, right, I did.
Let's do caller eight. I'm gonna drop it down a
little bit, caller number eight. Since it's seven fifty eight
on your Wednesday morning. You're listening to the Bloomdaddy Experience.
Samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
You got a federal lawsuit claiming that members of the
high school football team hazed and sexually abused a student
and that Reared Nan new staff covered up the incidents.
Subode Chondra Chandra Law Firm here in Cleveland handling this case.
Subode Chandra joining me right now about I know there's
certain things you could talk about, certain things you can't.
So I'm just gonna ask questions, answer what you can,
(34:19):
and I'll start with the rumor. Mill Is rampant about
what went on here. I've been hearing that some of
the stuff that went on is even more heinous than
what has been reported.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
What can you.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Tell us as far as this harassment towards this young man?
Speaker 2 (34:40):
So, the family we represent and thanks for having us
on paying attention to this matter. But the family that
we represent, a son, his sister who i'll refer to
his daughter, and his mom have filed a federal civil
rights law suit against Ursula and high school it's principal,
assistant principal, and several football coaches, along with the Catholic
(35:05):
Diocese of Youngstown, and they have filed it alleging that
this boy football player, freshman football player, was allegedly hazed,
physically and sexually assaulted, subjected to the creation and dissemination
of what's effectively child born of those incidents during a
(35:25):
football camp trip, a nine day trip in June of
twenty twenty five, and it names as defendants also many
many football players and their parents as defendants.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
How much.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Is the evidence strong, text, messages, video evidence. Do you
feel that the evidence leaves no doubt as to what
transpired here?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Well, here's what I can tell you and your listeners
can evaluate this for themselves at our website chondralaw dot com.
You know, we have a media release with a link
to the two hundred page complaint and includes screenshots of
you know, photographs and text messages. Obviously, we are not
going to put into the public record what are you know,
(36:12):
essentially child porn videos that were disseminated on Snapchat and
into the community. But we have represented to the court
that we have possession of those, you know, in evidentiary custody.
We can't represent that actually as lawyers to the court
unless we have the video evidence of what transpired. So
you know, there's two hundred pages of detail there and
(36:33):
people can evaluate for themselves what they think the strength
of the evidence is going to be.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
I believe you made the comment.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
They did not suspend the football season, They did not investigate,
They did not interview all the players on the trip.
They did not suspend rearing McGlenn or Serenotis even though
they were on the trip, they were aware of what
was going to occur, what did occur, and they failed
to rectify, prevent or stop the hazing, attacks, assaults in
child porn, all of which are criminal acts.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
It sounds like you feel very secure.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
That adults knew what was going on yet did nothing
or tried to cover it up.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
Yeah, the lawsuit is alleging that the coaches knew what
was going on. The coaches were aware of it, you know,
they were. Some of this activity was occurring on the
bus trip, and that will be the subject of an
amended and supplemental complaints. Some of the you know, activity
among the players and the coaches were distributed across the bus,
(37:32):
one in the front, one in the middle, one.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
In the back.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
And again, the suit is clearly alleging that the coaches
were aware of what was going on and yet did
nothing to stop it. And and the suit also alleges
that the mom after the trip, when she became aware
of all of this from her son, raised this with
the coach and his response was it's just boys being boys.
(37:57):
He did not act surprised, he did n't act shot OpEd.
His immediate gut response was it's just boys being boys.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
That is that is hard for me to comprehend. It's
hard for me to comprehend that if there's these allegations
are true, that adults just turned a blind eye to
I mean, so mode what has been put out there
as of now, as far as you know what was
done to this criminal harassing, assault, sexual assault, battery, cad andy,
(38:28):
all the charges. But you know I'm hearing that even
more grotesque things may have went on. It's hard for
I think me and people out there listening right now
to comprehend that adults would simply turn their back on
something like this.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Well, so what the original sin alleged in the lawsuit
is that the two of these coaches allegedly had problematic
backgrounds from previous employment, including allegedly in the case of
head coach Reared and his prior stint at that very
high school ursula in high school, and so much so
(39:06):
that a diocesan senior official who was responsible for approving
hiring in these schools, opposed the rehiring of Rearden to
be head coach, but according to the complaint, the president
of the school, Father Murphy, insisted on it, and the
(39:27):
then bishop who has since passed overruled the diocesan official
and authorized the hiring. So this hazing culture is also
alleged in the complaint to have gone back for quite
some time. And I can tell your listeners that since
the suit was filed. We have been hearing from other
(39:47):
alleged victims and witnesses to issues with the football program
and with accountability by the coaches and by senior administrators,
and we are investigating all of that. We would continue
to welcome hearing from additional victims and witnesses. Some people
are finally having the courage to speak up and reach out. Obviously,
(40:10):
we have to investigate all of that before we act further,
either in amending or supplementing this complaint or in bringing
new ones, but we do welcome hearing from people. We
want them to know they can contact us through Chandra
Law dot com securely and to be heard at last talking.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
To attorneys Chonder Law Firm here in Cleveland. Why this kid?
I mean, I know you're you're thinking there's others out there,
but as of right now, it's it's this kid in
his sister. Do you think there are more kids that
have allegedly been hazed like this individual? And if not,
(40:48):
why this kid?
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Well, the suit, the suit does allege that this was
part of a hazing culture and that this happened to
other children as well as to this child. He was
a freshman and he was new that hazing was being
performed by older, larger football players. That's what the suit
is alleging. And there were students that were recording, there
(41:14):
were students that were then saving that disseminating those recordings.
This was, according to the suit, a part of the
culture of the football program in the indulged by the coaches.
And again I did leave something out in our earlier
conversation that the mother also brought this the attention of
(41:35):
the administrators and alleges that no serious internal investigative action
was taken and no serious discipline imposed on players or
certainly the coaches. We're only seeing some of that action
now that some of this has become public, at least
with respect to coaches, but there's still no action by
the dioceses as to the administrators of the school, which
(41:57):
again the family really takes ecce too. There should be
accountability all around. Players, administrators, coaches are the accused.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
Players still playing.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
To the best of our knowledge, Yes, there are two
one or two players who we believe have transferred to
other schools and may be playing there. But some of
many of the other people involved, to the best of
our knowledge, are still playing. If the football season is
allowed to continue, have participated in practices and so forth.
So that's where the family feels that accountability is deficient.
(42:32):
And I can tell you that the mother is extremely
determined to see accountability from top to bottom here. She's
just that she had to pull her kids out of
the school. The daughter, as the suit alleges, was intimidated
by a player and his friends with you know, people
literally pointing their fingers at their eyes and pointing to
her and saying we are watching you, staring her down,
(42:53):
going to her workplace for no legitimate reason. So the
mom is absolutely determined to see accountability here.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
Your quota is saying it's a smidgeon of something, but
it's a week first step in only that. So reading
between the lines of that, I'm assuming you believe that
this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
Yeah, And that was in reference to the school's announcement
yesterday about two coaches being placed on administrative leave and
the head coach being so supposedly quote unquote agreeing to suspension.
The family's position is that the administrators need to be
placed on leave pending a complete and thorough top to
(43:35):
bottom review and investigation, and players need to be held
accountable and that would be the first real steps, meaningful
steps to work justice for them.
Speaker 1 (43:44):
All right, so both, thank you very much for coming
on today and I'll check back in keep me posted.
Speaker 2 (43:50):
Thank you. We'd love to hear from additional witnesses. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (44:00):
It's eight twenty two The bloem Daddy Experience. Sam and
Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. She is one of
the most intelligent women I know. The headphones were giving
her some issues this morning. That's what I was laughing at.
Of course, elgind mccartill in the house. We're going to
talk politics unleashed. Okay, we're situated now, I'm situated.
Speaker 2 (44:21):
I was.
Speaker 5 (44:22):
To do it.
Speaker 3 (44:23):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (44:23):
Stop, you can tell she's in house, her Kane Elgin
in the house.
Speaker 4 (44:30):
Oh, she's been a busy lately, lady lately. Goodness, goodness, gracious. Yeah,
we talked about it last week. Of course, you were
on a two week long murder trial down down south. Yes, Fairmont, Fairmont, that's.
Speaker 6 (44:40):
Fairmont, yes, yes, yes, and it's still developing.
Speaker 4 (44:44):
So yeah, very interesting. The interesting development happened overnight. If
you heard us, you know, I'm sure you heard us
talk about this last week, the parents of the victim
spoke out saying that your client, they do not believe
is the assailant.
Speaker 3 (45:02):
Correct. No, they they said he's innocent.
Speaker 4 (45:04):
They straight up they said it, straight up.
Speaker 6 (45:06):
Said he's innocent and he should have never been indicted.
Speaker 4 (45:09):
So there, How often does that happen? It doesn't. Yeah,
that's that's pretty that's pretty true. That's that's a pretty
strong statement right there. All right, so let's get into
We've got to talk about it. It's everywhere North Carolina, Charlotte,
this developing story with the there. I don't even think
(45:31):
there's a word to describe what happened to this young, young,
twenty three year old Irena on the train. I mean callous, vile, disgusting, violent, disturbing.
(45:51):
I don't think there's a word to describe what happened.
Speaker 3 (45:56):
No, And it was very random. It was, oh random.
Speaker 6 (46:00):
I think that is probably the most shocking part about it.
Speaker 3 (46:02):
It was randomly.
Speaker 6 (46:03):
What what triggered this? What went off in this man's mind.
I've heard a little coverage that he was schizophrenic, and
that may be and maybe, I mean that's fine, but
you know what, fourteen prior arrests I don't know if
they were convictions or not. But seriously, at some point
the system failed him and us and us to either
(46:26):
get help, incarcerate him, do something. But he needed to
be stopped way before this happened. And it was a
random act. And when you see the video, he was sleeping.
He was sleeping behind her. She walked in and she
had her head down and then all of a sudden
he wakes up and he stabs.
Speaker 4 (46:43):
Her right like, Okay, what the heck did she do
to you?
Speaker 5 (46:48):
Nothing?
Speaker 4 (46:49):
Well, And as this as more and more, ten comes out.
So this happened back in Oh, you don't have it
in front of me. Junior July. They just released the footage,
the trains footage over the weekend. There are certain media outlets,
Wikipedia being one that has tried to downplay. There are
(47:11):
excuses being used, there are his name is not being
used in certain media outlets. There are talking heads from
CNN that are saying, this is a local story, but
trumpsters have racist Trumpsters basically is what they're saying, have
latched onto this that has taken it to a national level. No,
(47:35):
this is a very very important story. I don't care
what side of the political aisle you're on. Here is
a young refugee woman from a war torn country who
came to our shores for safety and a better life.
She did it the right way, and this happens. That's
(47:55):
why this is a relevant story.
Speaker 6 (47:57):
What's also relevant to the extent that the policies of
this administration or to make America safe again, yes, you know,
on the heels of sending in the National Guard to
DC to clean up those streets, the upcoming going into Chicago,
which there's also push back there. Why on earth would
you not want to live in a safe city. Why,
(48:18):
why on earth would you not want to be able
to get on a random public transportation vehicle to get
to where you're supposed to be going, and expect to
get to where you're supposed to be going and not
be stabbed in the meantime or on the en route.
Speaker 4 (48:32):
It's disturbing. Well, I'm going to show you a picture.
I don't know if you've seen this yet. This came
out last night. This adds another layer of being disturbed.
These are the people surrounding her after she was stabbed,
who just walked away. They saw it. The one man
(48:55):
was sitting directly behind her and the assailant saw it
happened and they just walked off. How many is there
five people?
Speaker 2 (49:05):
Or four?
Speaker 6 (49:06):
Two three five?
Speaker 4 (49:09):
Five? Yeah? Who did nothing well?
Speaker 6 (49:12):
And does that come on the heels of the New
York subway case where what Daniel the marine Daniel Penny, Yes,
the marine who tried to stop. And so if you
try to stop, then you're going to be on trial.
I mean, and that's the it has turned completely upside down,
completely upside down.
Speaker 4 (49:30):
And so you're saying the bystanders because of you know,
Daniel Petty being prosecuted, do we as a society take
a step back and say, I'm not getting involved because
I don't want to face legal ramifications.
Speaker 6 (49:44):
Absolutely, absolutely, I don't want to get involved because I
don't want to legal ramifications. Or perhaps you know, it's
the flight or fight.
Speaker 4 (49:51):
Like flight or fight, flight or fight made me have
to stop.
Speaker 6 (49:56):
You know that that comes into play because you know,
maybe maybe those people were like I'm not ready to
die today.
Speaker 4 (50:03):
Yeah, you know, they maybe they didn't have special skills.
Speaker 5 (50:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (50:06):
I mean, it's hard to look into those folks minds,
but for maybe all of them could have taken him down.
Speaker 4 (50:13):
It is a disturbing image. This brings up a lot
of questions this story, and I want to get into
a couple of them when we return. When we return,
first of all, personal responsibility, I want to talk about that,
and then what if the races were reversed? Oh absolutely,
eight twenty eight. You're listening to the bloom Daddy Experience.
We're right in the middle of Politics Unleashed with Elgiae
mccardal here on news Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Welcome back
(50:48):
eight thirty six with bloom Daddy Experienced, Sam Otis and
Elgin in the house. We're doing politics bundleased here on
news Radio eleven seventy WWVA. I want to throw this
out last call to register for your chance for free
lunch delivered on Friday from our friends at River City.
So you have to do is Sam at iHeartMedia dot com, name,
(51:10):
phone number, and business and that will be your registration
or we're going to be doing that winner at the
end of the show and at the end of this segment.
So hint, hint, we're going to have your last chance
to win this morning for tickets because we have another
pair for the rock and roll Do Wop happening October fourth,
so that is going to be coming up here very
very shortly. All right, let's get back back into the
(51:31):
conversation about the North Carolina horrible tragic murder that happened
on the train. So there's a lot of people speaking
out of course, from both sides. I think what's being
lost here is this is not a political issue. I
don't think this is a safety issue for this country.
(51:56):
I don't care what side of the the aisle you're on.
That's where this is being lost. The problem is the
people who have a voice on a national platform are
making it a national or is making it a political statement.
Both sides, both sides, both sides absolutely. So for example,
(52:16):
where's aoc She was one of the first people and
you brought him up earlier to attack Daniel Penny. She
went after him on social media. This time around the
mayor of Charlotte. She's speaking out and she is basically
sympathizing with the perpetrator. You know, it appears to have
(52:38):
suffered a crisis. The perpetrator, she says.
Speaker 6 (52:40):
That fine addressed the crisis before he has the crisis.
Speaker 3 (52:44):
How about that?
Speaker 4 (52:45):
And speak of the young girl who lost her life exactly.
Speaker 3 (52:49):
Let's not both sides.
Speaker 4 (52:50):
Yes, let's not lose her in this conversation. So before
the break I mentioned this, you know, and of course
this is going to be turned into a race issue.
A black perpetrator a white victim. Let's reverse that. Let's
reverse it. Let's say this was a white man who,
for absolutely no reason that can be seen whatsoever, walked
(53:11):
up and stabbed a black woman. What would have happened
over the weekend in this country.
Speaker 6 (53:17):
Oh, it would have blown up, right, it would have
absolutely blown up, and AOC would have been right there,
I mean, doing the same thing. I don't. They're so blinded.
They're so blinded. And you know how they put those
blinders on horses so that they see straight ahead.
Speaker 4 (53:34):
Right, you can't see the left, you can't see the right.
Speaker 6 (53:36):
That's exactly what's going on.
Speaker 4 (53:37):
It's they have a one way, one track mind, one.
Speaker 6 (53:44):
Track mind, and it's anti Trump. So, however, an incident
has to be spun so that it is anti Trump
and goes back on his policies. That's what they're going
to do.
Speaker 4 (53:59):
Well, and again, and let's go back to Irene herself.
She is a war refugee from the Ukraine. Where are
the liberals who have the flags flying, who have their
social media headshot or profile pick is the Ukrainian flag.
(54:21):
Where are all those voices standing up for this twenty
three year.
Speaker 6 (54:24):
Old exactly, We're not saying it, you know, they're standing
up for the war and all the wonder all the
victims that are over there. Well, this victim came here
and it's no longer because of the lack of safety
in our transportation system.
Speaker 4 (54:40):
Well, and it goes back to this is who if
they're supporting Ukraine, This young woman is who they're supporting
until it doesn't fit their narrative, right, and it's unfortunate
until it's not. And then this brings to light. So, okay,
fourteen arrests, fourteen arrests, you are in the legal world.
I mean, obviously you just got done with a m trial.
(55:00):
You have a completely different perspective than the rest of us.
So arrested fourteen times, there is now possible legislation being
drawn up by the North Carolina Senator. I believe I
can't think of his pain. Is that his name? Right now?
I had that somewhere now it's completely out of my hands.
But anyways, that judges should be held accountable. It's an
(55:27):
interesting thought. Is it fair? Though? How do you hold
a judge accountable for releasing somebody they go out and
commit another crime.
Speaker 6 (55:40):
I mean, well, the question is what is the law
that was used to release them?
Speaker 3 (55:45):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (55:46):
You know, because the legislature, the judges can only enforce
the law as written, So if the legislature wants to
change that, then they need to change either the bond requirements,
the the statutes for recidivism. The legislatures in charge of
(56:08):
passing the law. The judge can only enforce it as written.
You're not allowed to legislate from the bench, so you
can enforce it. So I don't know what the laws
were in place that released him, Like what were the
fourteen Okay, I've got the arrest Are they convictions?
Speaker 5 (56:23):
What were they?
Speaker 4 (56:24):
In twenty fifteen convicted of robberty with a robbery with
a dangerous weapon, Released six months early between twenty four
and twenty five. Arrested three times for misusing nine to
one one services. October twenty second of this year, charged
with first degree murder. April fourteen, convicted of felony, larceny
(56:48):
and breaking and entering arrested for assault on a female
and injury to property excuse me, and then in July
of July twenty eighth judge requested mental capacity evaluation.
Speaker 3 (57:03):
There you go.
Speaker 6 (57:04):
So depending on what happened with those arrests, if the
rest were pled down, then you've got a prosecutor that
has negotiated a deal as well. So that's not just
the judge's fault. The judges certainly, and I'm not familiar
with North Carolina law, but if the judges have discretion
to either acceptably or rejectively depending on the circumstances, so
(57:27):
it's hard to comment on whether or not those prior
arrests actually resulted in a conviction. I disagree with the
early release six months early release. That was a problem,
and based upon the number of arrests, there should have
been a recidivism statute which strike three year out and
(57:49):
the penalty should have gradually gotten more harsh. I don't
know whether there's a recidivism statute in North Carolina. So
the legislature needs to take a look at their laws
and see how they were applied. I don't know that
you create another law to hold judges accountable, because they
can only enforce what is written by the legislature. So
(58:10):
I would disagree with holding judges accountable because that's a
whole there's so many moving parts to you know, what happens.
Speaker 4 (58:19):
Well, and just think about it. The last let's say
two three months, think of the national headlines of disturbing
violent crime that we have seen. We you know, the
attack on the Catholic church in Minnesota. Now we have this,
we have the three folks killed by the illegal immigrant
(58:42):
who couldn't speak English driving a semi truck. I mean,
it seems every day, or at least a couple times
a month, we're waking up to just horrible crime and
a lot of it is tied into mental illness. Now
the truck driver does not you know, the mental illness
side of things. We need to reevaluate how we are
(59:04):
handling the mentally illness country. Do you think?
Speaker 2 (59:07):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (59:08):
I do?
Speaker 3 (59:08):
I agree.
Speaker 6 (59:09):
And the other point that I drew from your statement
was the violent crime included a semi truck, gun and
this time knife. Where is the outcry, let's outlawed knives,
let's outloads?
Speaker 5 (59:23):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (59:23):
Right, clearly, it's the person, it is the person behind
the instrumentality of the crime, and that is where I
think you get to the root of the problem. I
think a lot of the mental health institutions and the
drug situations they all tie in together. A lot of
people who are addicted to drugs will commit small crimes, misdemeanors, shoplifting,
(59:47):
whatever they can the addiction and so that then escalates
and you just need to get to the root of
the problem. And the root of the problem I think
is drugs, mental illness, immigration, And when you tie all
those things together and start to address them, I think
you might get somewhere. And I think that's what President
(01:00:09):
Trump has tried to do, at least in DC.
Speaker 3 (01:00:11):
What that has worked in the last thirty days.
Speaker 4 (01:00:13):
An overwhelmed judicial system too. I mean, if we got
somebody who fourteen prior arrests, you know, it's it's all
tied in together. Yeah, we're gonna get into a couple
other things because I have a question for you. We
got to wrap it up, not now, but at the
end of the show. Here have we become a society
of excuses?
Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (01:00:32):
Absolutely? Eight forty five. Let's do it. Your chance to
win rock and roll? Do Wop mentioned it at the beginning.
This is it one eight hundred sixty two, four eleven
seventy one eight hundred sixty two four eleven seventy Give
me a number between ten and fifteen twelve twelve, caller
number twelve one eight hundred sixty two four eleven seventy
(01:00:53):
We'll be back the bloom Daddy Experience, samon Otis, welcome back.
It's fifty the Glen Daddy Searance, dam and Otis. Congratulations
to Mike. You said this is our third mic of
the day, after.
Speaker 5 (01:01:14):
Mike from Wintersvioll, Mike from Belmont, and Mike from Dylan Belle.
Speaker 4 (01:01:17):
Okay, you're right. So if you're a mic out there
to day is You're lucky day. Yeah, go play the lottery,
Go buy a scratch off ticket. Yeah, well I'm still here.
Speaker 6 (01:01:24):
I didn't win the one point eight.
Speaker 4 (01:01:25):
Yeah, I know we did neither. We didn't either. Wait,
I'd be willing to sup. I would have been willing.
Speaker 3 (01:01:30):
I was willing to split it with whoever.
Speaker 4 (01:01:33):
That's a lot of cash. Wow, could you imagine? No, No, no,
I couldn't buy. I would have some more fall decorations.
But Otis loves the studio. Currently, I decorated and he
ripped on me. But anyways, all right, you kind of
look at that, you got decorations open. Anyways, that's the
(01:01:54):
difference between a man and a woman.
Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
All right.
Speaker 4 (01:01:56):
So this whole North Carolina conversation and a lot of
the other incidents that I mentioned earlier, there seems to
be a growing trend in this country when it comes
to anything. At this point, whether you know, violent crime
is mid level. We've become a society of excuses. And
(01:02:19):
what I mean by that is everybody immediately goes to
all they're addicted to drugs, they have an addiction disease,
or they're mentally ill. At what point in time what
needs to happen where we say, I don't care what
your excuse is. I don't care what you're addicted to.
(01:02:42):
A monster is a monster, Evil is evil. We get
back there.
Speaker 6 (01:02:48):
It's called acceptance of responsibility. It's called, I don't know,
bring back the paddle. You know, I think there are
a lot of coddling. There's a lot of coddling of kids,
and there's failure to let kids fail. Quite frankly, everything
(01:03:14):
is being done for them as opposed to letting them
figure it out. And I think that just grows into
an expectation of entitlement or I did this, but it's
because of whatever.
Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
I mean.
Speaker 6 (01:03:32):
You know, I think the three of us here, if
we got in trouble at school, would have taken the
position that please.
Speaker 4 (01:03:40):
Please don't call my parents, right, please do not call
my parents.
Speaker 5 (01:03:45):
I didn't have that option because my parents were at
this question.
Speaker 6 (01:03:47):
Oh well, that's even worse, you know, you know it
was it was. It was an accountability. You did this wrong,
You're going to make it right. You're writing on the chalkboard.
I will not speak out in class, write it one
hundred times while while everybody else.
Speaker 4 (01:04:03):
Oh but that's humiliating.
Speaker 3 (01:04:04):
We can't do that.
Speaker 4 (01:04:06):
You know, there's that's another excuse.
Speaker 6 (01:04:08):
It's just another excuse. I think there's too much coddling.
I think there's a failure to accept responsibility. I think
there's an inability to accept failure. You know, the person
uh that is a winner is only because they tried
after they lost. You know, there's never never, never give up.
Speaker 5 (01:04:28):
You keep going.
Speaker 4 (01:04:29):
Well, and don't you think when parents don't hold their
child accountable account that's the word I was gonna say acceptable,
accountable for as an example, Uh, not washing the dishes,
and that's what they're cho and use and and why
I didn't have time, And there's some sort of they
accept the excuse.
Speaker 6 (01:04:49):
And then you just do it for them. I've been
guilty of that stuff.
Speaker 4 (01:04:51):
Yeah, so next time, the next thing they're expected to do,
they have another excuse, and then it grows from there.
Now you then tie in what we have done to
our young people and what I'm referencing the Minnesota Minnesota shooter.
We are now putting possible poison into our young adults.
(01:05:13):
And what is that doing to their brains? When we
talk about these sex change drugs? Right, I mean we
are compounding the issue all from a viewpoint of, for
lack of a better term, the bleeding hearts, right, and
look what we're getting in response.
Speaker 6 (01:05:32):
Right, everything every every generation says, well, you know, back
to the good old days, the good old days, you know,
drinking from a water faucet as opposed to bottled water drinking.
I mean, there's just so many things that have changed,
and it's some of it is something parents can't avoid.
(01:05:56):
For example, you know, we were allowed to go out
and play, were killed. The street lights came came on.
You cannot let your children play wherever, not knowing where
they are, unsupervised by virtue of the crazy.
Speaker 4 (01:06:12):
The sickos in the world.
Speaker 6 (01:06:14):
And so I guess it's it's all a circular it all,
it all goes together.
Speaker 4 (01:06:20):
And if we don't have people that are willing to
make the tough decisions cracking down on you know, the
border and letting drugs in, cracking down on you know,
basically experimenting on our youth, uh, cracking down on holding
(01:06:40):
people responsible in the school system and saying, you know, no,
we're not going to let that in. We're going to
stick to math and science and English and teaching them
what we're supposed to be teaching them. If there's not somebody,
if we're not willing at a point as a society
to start cracking down on this kind of stuff, it's
going to get to the point where it's completely out
of control.
Speaker 6 (01:07:01):
And we're almost there, we are, and I think that's
where you know, the Trump administration is trying to come
in and change that philosophy.
Speaker 4 (01:07:08):
But they're being vilified because and that's the hard part
in leadership. You have to make the hard decisions. Yes,
you do and we have way too many people that
aren't willing to make those hard decisions. And Otis has
given me a look what was that? Look?
Speaker 6 (01:07:24):
It's time to go.
Speaker 5 (01:07:26):
No, I'm just oh, just looking.
Speaker 4 (01:07:28):
Oh oh oh, I thought you were like, okay, try
to make eye contact with me saying you know, shut up.
Wellll you know that happens, all right, So we have
got to do First of all, Miss Elgin, thank you,
you're welcome. Yeah, once again, we have to.
Speaker 5 (01:07:47):

Speaker 4 (01:07:54):

Speaker 3 (01:07:56):

Speaker 4 (01:07:57):
Okay, you better hurry. All right, let's do it. You

show and we will talk about ranging everything to bring
