Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm now for today's top stories, brought to you by
my friends over at on Koshore for a simple, accurate,
non invasive test that detects all cancers called eight seven
seven twenty four tests.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Now, good morning, Natalie, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Well, we've got a Florida judge pumping the brakes on
the Presidential library for President Trump in downtown Miami. The
judge Mabel Cruise, a circuit judge, temporarily blocking the transfer
after ruling made in response to a lawsuit filed by
activist Marvin Dunn. He is suing against the board of
(00:35):
trustees for Miami Dade College, claiming that they violated the
state's open government law. And the judge did say that
the decision was not an easy one and claiming that
in this case, at least for the court, it's not
rooted in politics. So everything seems to be on hold
yet again for the presidential library that's supposed to go
into downtown Miami, across from the CASA Center where the
(00:58):
President appeared not too long ago.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Well, I'm sure the President will see it the same
way that the ruling was not rooted in politics in
any way, I'm not surprised by this. I think there
are some transparency issues with all of this. I don't
know if it's something that you know that the activist
who has filed this lawsuit would end up winning in court.
(01:20):
But I'm not surprised by this temporary move. And look,
there's plenty of time for this to play out in
the courts before you know, anything were to happen with
the presidential library. I mean, you've got three more years
left of this term and then another the third term. Yeah,
so we've got plenty of time to figure this out
before that Presidential library would go up.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
And meanwhile, we've got a new bill in the works
that would require our teachers here in the state to
take an oath. It's called House Bill one forty seven.
It was filed Monday by state Representative Tom Fabricio of
Miami Leagues, who is seeking a fourth term in the
Florida House. It would require teachers to abide by constitutional
oath before being allowed to teach here in the state,
(02:04):
and if basses, the bill would become law on July
first of next year.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I wonder if the teachers have to end up taking
this oath, do they do it over the Bible or
a textbook.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Is a textbook allowed in the classic right?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Right?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
How does that work?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah, so the oath is let me see, Yeah, Dana
repeat after me. We're going to swear you in as
a teacher. I, Dana McKay, do solemnly swear.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Dana McKay, do solemnly swear that.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I will support, protect, and defend the constitution and government
of the United States, that I will.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Supports Keep up, Dana as you.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
All right, let's we'll just skip We'll skip that part.
That I'm duly quality.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
That I'm duly qualified for employment as a classroom teacher
and a state.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
That I'm duly qualified for employment as a classroom teacher
in this state.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
That I that I will well and faithfully perform the
duties of a classroom.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Teacher, and I will well And.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
If they do this, these teachers are never going to
get sworn in. This is going to go on forever.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Was sure, Just keep swimming data.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
That you'll do it in a professional, independent, objective, and
non partisan manner.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
I will do it in a professional, objective and non
partisan manner.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
That you will uphold the highest standards of academic integrity
and professional ethics.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
I will uphold the highest standards of ethics.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I told you this.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I know we think the wrong person that try this
out on my I think there's like the ten more lines.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I still gotta get to it. So you get the gests. Yeah,
you get the gest No, it's not that short.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
But I tell you, what is that just qualifying if
a teacher can can't repeat the thing?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Is that it?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
So it's basically asking a teacher to do the job
of teaching. Yes, good into anything. You're not swearing your
life where you're not going to serve in a war,
right right? Really just saying I am legally bound to
be a teacher and have all the qualifications to do so,
So help me.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
God, it exactly. Yeah, And there is a so help
me God at the end of it. So I guess
it probably would have to be over the Bible as
opposed to a textbook. But the reason that this is
being floated is because you know, you've got these teachers
under investigation. There was a report in the Miami Herald
eight teachers in Miami Daye alone under investigation for posts
(04:42):
that either parents or administrators said were politically charged. One
of them a teacher at Palmetto middle school told the
Harold that she wasn't even sure which post on her
social media was flagged to the district or why. But
then when they looked at her posts, she had apparently
reaped posted something critical of the Department of Education commissioner,
(05:04):
a post that told them to.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Go to hell.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Well, yes, be part of the problem.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, so we kind of figure out why she was flagged.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Where is the part in that oath about like I
promise I'm not gonna have sex with my students.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
That's like that, that's positive.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
We should throw that into especially here in Florida, all rights.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Have to take a legal oath by the way of
being like real good parents.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
They should, they should, they should, Yeah, be allowed to
have a kid. You're not going to be a good parent. No,
let me tell you what.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
We did a story in the five o'clock hour out
of the Tampa Bay Area.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
This panellis mother who uh sexually banned her daughter, forced
her to create these child porn videos and eleven year
old just I mean, as as awful as you could
possibly imagine. So, yeah, they should have taken oath too.
All right, let's get to one more quick story.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
This one is drawing a lot of heat on a
sheriff's office coming under fire. They posted the image of
a miner on Facebook. Nine year old Anthony Walker now
Anthony Walker was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with
a deadly weapon without intent to kill at Middleton Bernie
(06:17):
Elementary School in Crescent City. Now side note, in Florida,
like other states, were so quick to say, oh, it's
a kid, it's a miner.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
You're not supposed to do that. It's illegal.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Well, like I said, in Florida and other states, when
it involves a felony charge, a miner's name, photograph, address,
and crime report may be released if the miner is
taken into custody for a violation that would be a
felony if committed by an adult.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yeah, the sheriff was within his power to post this motion.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
The question became, should you do it when it's a
nine year old?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I just think no, I think we should be doing
this because you've got to look at the parents and
why this kid is so disturbed that he's bringing a
knife to school and threatening his classmates.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
What's going on in his house?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I don't know that this helps, you know, with those
older kids, like the high school kids sixteen seventeen making
school shooting threats and things like that.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
No matter.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
And in those cases though, I think it's also got
to do with the parents.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
But yeah, but a nine.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Year old smunk shot on Facebook, it got a lot
of butt, Like what forty seven thousand comments.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
On that post?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Forty eight Yeah, people had a lot to say about that,
all right. Natalie Rodriguez with today's stop Stories. Natalie, thanks
so much, you got it. If time now for today's
stop Stories, brought to you by my friends over at
the Holland Group Retirement and Wealth Advisors. You worked hard
to say for your future. They can help you make
the most of it. Find them online at Askdthethhollands dot com.
Good morning, Chris, Good morning.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
A Plant City man known as the Deacon of Death
has been put to death. Seventy two year old Samuel
Smithers became the oldest person executed under Florida's death penalty Austin,
who was put back into effect in nineteen seventy six.
Smithers was a former deacon at the Baptist church. He
met two sex workers at a Tampa motel on different
(08:10):
occasions brought them back to a work site in Plant
City and dumped their bodies into a pond. In nineteen
ninety six, he got caught when a friend of his
wife noticed that he was hosing down an axe and
there was a pool of blood on the ground. She
called police. They came out and investigated, and that led
them to Smithers and connected him to the murders.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
So back in the day, his coworkers had said he
was quiet and religious. He was like a country bumpkin
who never cursed. Meanwhile, he was apparently a frequenter of
the Stroll that was a stretch in Tampa that had
pawn shops and motels and used car lots and lots
(08:55):
of prostitution. And he was a dec and a custodian
at the local First Baptist Church, but he resigned a
year before the murders. He was accused of offering to
falsify a woman's community service hours in exchange for sex.
So you know this country bumpkin who's quiet and religious
(09:16):
and nice, Yeah, not so much, always the quiet one,
and then eventually committed these murders. What was interesting too,
as he was trying to avoid being put to death
one of his victims. The father of one of the
victims came out and said that he would rather see
him spend the rest of his life in jail as
(09:36):
opposed to being put to death. And he said that's
what his daughter, one of the victims, would have wanted
to But in the end that wasn't the case. He
was put to fourteenth execution so far this year, with
more to come. The second one from the Tampa Bay area.
So you know, it's just one after every couple of
(09:56):
weeks we have another execution.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
Yeah, he didn't have a meeting with a spiritual advisor. Now,
had no final statement. No, No, he did have a
final meal. He ate fried chicken, fried fish, a baked potato,
apple pie with vanilla ice cream, and a sweet tea.
All right, not a bad final meal.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Mashed potatoes instead of a baked potato though.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yeah, it didn't say you know what, even though im
latos in tolerant, if I was being put to death,
I would have the ice cream.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Why yeah, why not?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
At that point, there were about thirty people in the
in the witness room, and Chris, we've talked about this before.
You were in a witness room for an execution. I
mean it's small. It said it's small as that that's
a packed witness room at is packed. That means all
the rows were full. Yeah, and presumably that's because those
were relatives or somebody who wanted all those folks in there.
You got to get permission, but generally if you're a
(10:52):
family member or somebody related to the victims, they'll grant that.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
But there is.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
Limited space in there, and that's a lot of people
to get in there, including officials.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
And then the media of course is in there as well.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
And I do want to note that investigators think he
might have killed other people as well. He was a
person of interest in an unsolved killing of another Tampa
sex worker.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Never admitted to any other murders, but but he might
have been involved in others too. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Absolutely, And you know, those types of people who get
killed oftentimes don't have the same connections in the community
and their cases aren't always as closely followed, right, And
so that allows the killers to get away with sometimes
these events.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, and you wonder too the name like, to be honest,
the deacon of death, that's you know, sometimes well, sometimes
these killers they get these like you know, no names yeah,
you know, I mean.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Gives them some satisfaction even more for what they did.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I would bet the stories, you know, like from the
Tampa Bay Times and other outlets, the Deacon of death
probably got a lot of clicks, you know what I mean,
when you've got a killer with that kind of name, it.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Just seems like ninety six on AOL.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, I mean, now you know, with him being put
to death like it stands out.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
I mean, look, you know, this is not unusual when
you have a high profile killers who are on death row.
Oftentimes that's what happens in the media. I would imagine
it probably was a way to see a graphic on TV.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah. Well, you know, but he's gone and.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
We'll be seeing possibly two more before the end of
the year, which could mean sixteen in the state of Florida,
which is so far and away a records, it's not
even close, and it's way ahead of any other state
in the country.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I think Texas has had like five to six.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
Yeah, five, So I mean it's it's really uh, clearly
Governor DeSantis, you know, taking advantage of the ability to
sign death warrants. The Tampa Police Department has arrested a
pastor who was involved in an armed confrontation at a
District five city council community forum last week. So at
the time, the forum for the District five runoff involving
(12:59):
candidate Naya Young was beginning to end, and officers say
that there was a dispute involving thirty seven year old
Elvis Piggot of Tampa, who was accused of pulling a
gun after an argument at this forum. Police say that
the victim in the case left before officers arrived, but
they were getting evidence and getting witness statements, and then
(13:20):
after several days of investigating, ordered an arrest warrant for Piggott,
who surrendered to the jail on Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Over At Orient wrote.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
This was a hotly contested city council race here. Luckily
it didn't end up being a tragedy outside of this forum.
He is maintaining the suspect who was arrested, the pastor,
that he was confronted and somebody put their hands on him,
and he had his young kid with him, and that's
(13:52):
why he drew his weapon, never pointed it at anybody.
But apparently after further investigating, authorities decided that it warranted
some charges and arrest.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
Of course, well, he was a candidate in the run
for District five and he didn't make the cut in
the first election, and so it went to a runoff
in the top two candidates advanced, including Naya Young, And
he claims that her people were the ones who confronted him,
because he's essentially endorsing the veteran in the other candidate
in the case.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
And he's been very outspoken about it.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
And if you think that, you know, it's just national
politics that gets nasty. I mean, you can see this.
And then Amelia Gonzalez running for Miami mayor, he had
his ex accounts suspended last month and his campaign accused
his political rivals of doing it. Say hey things, you
can get nasty at the local level power.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, man.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
In this case, he got a gun in So the
Hernando Sheriff's Office investigating a shooting in spring Hill. Deputies
responded to the ten thousand block of Fordham Street. They
got a call that fifteen to twenty gun shots were
being fired in the area. So the sheriff says that
a person who lived in a house was confronted by
(15:05):
twenty six year old Ryan Aceto apparently went over to
that house, was in the front yard and wanted to
hang out. The guy who is the homeowner, was like,
get out of here. I was heading back in the
next thing you know, shots are being fired and Aceto
ended up getting shot himself. Cops showed up thinking that
there was a body in a front yard they responded
(15:27):
to actually the wrong house. It was somebody's Halloween decoration
where the body was located. So there wasn't actually a
body on the law.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Yeah, but having grown up in spring Hill, I could
tell you, you know, bodies on lawns. I mean, you
just never know if a Halloween decoration or something.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
That went wrong.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
And I'm not condoning the actions here, especially the homeowner,
but I can understand that one to be bothered.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
You know, somebody shows up to your door they want
to hang out.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Well, Aceto fired the first shots, and he's been charged
with attempted murder despite him getting shot himself. The homeowners
not facing charges. Apparently they just want to be left alone. Yeah,
he was defending himself, I guess, and you know, being
on his own property. The cops decided that he wasn't
the one to blame. In this case, I'd like to
see that Halloween decoration must be pretty good.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Did you see the other story about the house in
South Carolina that was all decorated for Halloween to make
it look like there was a fire in the house
and it's smoke coming out of it and it looked
like flames and people were calling the fires. Apartment went
over again because they thought that the story went viral.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
There was an incident.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I remember when my sister was at the University of Florida.
They did like Halloween decorations outside the apartment they had
I guess I think it was like some blood splatter
and somebody called the cops. They thought that, yeah, something
and something that happened.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
You know, I don't know what that said. Does that
mean the Halloween decorations were that good?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Or are those people that student?
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Right, right right, that's a good point. All right. Chris
Frankman with Today's Top Stories. Chris, thanks so much.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Right now we start with today's Top Stories and Natalie Rodriguez,
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Natalie, good morning.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Well, we've got a new lawsuit involving alligator Alcatraz. It
feels like forever that we've talked about it. Friends of
the Everglades filed suit this week against the Florida Division
of Emergency Management, and in this suit, it claims that
the department failed to disclose financial arrangements with the government,
in violation of the state's government and the Sunshine Act.
(17:20):
The complaint notes that as of October tenth, the department
the Division of Emergency Management had acknowledged only a single
email confirming the August seventh FEMA grant application and hasn't
produced the full grant documents or the award as of yet.
And it doesn't even talk about the inmates, it doesn't
talk about detainees, it doesn't talk about any of that
(17:44):
those details.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Now, basically, while the state was arguing in court that
there was no federal involvement in the tension center, so
there was no need for an environmental review, they were
trying to get reimbursed for the facility from the federal government.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Hilarious bit of a problem.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
And yesterday Dana actually asked former House Speaker Paul Renner
about the cost of Alligator Alcatraz. If you missed that interview,
he's running for the Republican nomination for governor.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
We've got it for you. On the podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Search for Ryan Gorman Show on your iHeartRadio app or
wherever you listen to podcasts. It's also on YouTube the
full interview. You could follow us there and subscribe at
Ryan Gorman Show. And his answer was was interesting, it's amazing.
We asked Rick Scott about the cost of Alligator Ocatraz
whether or not it was worth it, you know, the
all thing costs like four hundred something million dollars. He
(18:37):
didn't know anything about it, and then Paul runnerdon't really
you know, he didn't know a lot of the detail,
like you never know any of the details tales.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Yeah, and if he were to do it, he would
do a cost effectively. But they probably maybe just needed
the space, you know, like yeah, typical politicians answer where
they dance around and they don't want to say no,
that was a bad.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Idea, exactly right. The bottom line is it cost a
lot of money. It's already basically shut down.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
I can't even find out how many people are there
at this point.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
No, it was so public at first they were so.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
Proud of it, and now you can't find out how
many detainees are there.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Yeah, and they managed it up and up another facility
in North Florida for six million dollars, much more cost effective.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
So yeah, that's the answer. That's why it's so frustrating
duct politicians.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Second, and he was very nice, oh yea, yeah, but
it's still it's just frustrating because they won't give you
a straight answer to any of these damn questions.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
All Right, what else is going on?
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Natalie blanche Elee High School's assistant football coach. We talked
about this. He was arrested last month after allegedly fighting students. Well,
he has now officially been fired. Jamiir Clark was caught
on video earlier this year battling students in Monarchi's bathroom.
The chief human resources officer told school board members that
they would not have assigned him to be a campus
(19:48):
monitor at Crestaven Elementary if they knew his history.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, the same result of termination would have happened the
minute we received that video, had we received it on
the day that occurred.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
So what happened was that he had a history of
conflicts with students or or athlete students in different schools
that he worked at.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
It wasn't just this one school.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
He is now facing eight counts of child abuse without
great bodily harm.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Yeah, he used that that bathroom in the one video
that was circulating. It looked like he thought it was
a UFC octagon and he's he's a big dude, and
he's tossing these students around like rag dolls.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I mean, it can no fighting.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Studentside your own age. And while we're on the topic
of schools here in Florida, there were over three dozen
Florida school districts and I haven't seen like the full list,
uh yet. That got false reports of a bomb threat yesterday.
I guess there was some swatting email thread. The email
(20:54):
didn't include specific details or any like direct threats to
an individual campus. It was very generic, but it went
out and you had all these school districts. So you're
talking him three that's a lot of school districts across
the state having to deal with this, this bomb threat yesterday.
So another thing for law enforcement and schools to deal with.
All right, let's get to one more quick story now.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Well, since we're talking about schools and kids, A seventeen
year old suspected of faking his disappearance last month and
Dunalan now is facing criminal charges. At the time, Marion
County's top cop, Sheriff Billy Woods, said of Cayden Spate,
that he had told his mother in a text that
he was attacked.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
Cayden, who had a handgun with him since the beginning
of all of this, chose to shoot himself.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
In the leg.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Apparently.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Sheriff Wood says that the resulting Amber alert wasted a
lot of resources. And this seventeen year old is now
charged with, among other things, making a false crime report
and firing a gun into his own car cling and
that led to the whole spiral story about him being attacked,
that he shot at and all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
This, this whole thing, It was an elaborate, uh plan
that this kid had And and I haven't seen a
report as to why exactly he did this. But he
shot a bullet hole through the windshield of his truck.
He abandons it. Uh, then I I guess they said
he used a blood mixture to simulate an injury. So
(22:27):
there was there was like blood and drag marks in
the dirt. That's why they thought. And he destroyed his
cell phone and left it there, That's why they thought
that he was abducted.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
He claimed that it was for Hispanic men. Uh that
did it.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
And then they start finding that he had made purchases
at a Walmart in Okalla, uh, and things start to
kind of spiral and not make sense. And then they
they uncovered chat GPT searches on his laptop collecting blood
(23:01):
without causing pain, and he was looking for information on
Mexican cartels like this is really elaborate. And then to
try to keep this whole lie up, he eventually shot
himself in the leg.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
Well, I wonder if chat GYP, if he's been talking
to chat GPT and he went down a rabbit hole
and maybe that kind of influenced him in some way,
because we've seen those stories about people kind of going
nuts because of chat GPT.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yah know.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
But eventually shoot yourself in the leg. He shattered his
femur just to again keep this whole thing up. Just
crazy and like you said, Natalie, we said a ton
of resources and now he's been hit with charges. So
a pretty crazy story out of Marion County. Natalie Rodriguez
with Today's Top Stories. Natalie, thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
You got it. He's a Ryan Gorman Show five to
nine every weekday morning on News Radio two u fla
I'm now for today's top stories, brought to you by
my friends over at on Koshore for a simple, accurate,
non invasive test that detects all cancers called eight seven
seven twenty four tests.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Now, good morning, Natalie, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Well, we've got a Florida judge pumping the brakes on
the Presidential library for President Trump in downtown Miami. The
judge Mabel Cruise, a circuit judge, temporarily blocking the transfer
after ruling made in response to a lawsuit filed by
activist Marvin Dunn. He is suing against the board of
(00:35):
trustees for Miami Dade College, claiming that they violated the
state's open government law. And the judge did say that
the decision was not an easy one and claiming that
in this case, at least for the court, it's not
rooted in politics. So everything seems to be on hold
yet again for the presidential library that's supposed to go
into downtown Miami, across from the CASA Center where the
(00:58):
President appeared not too long ago.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Well, I'm sure the President will see it the same
way that the ruling was not rooted in politics in
any way, I'm not surprised by this. I think there
are some transparency issues with all of this. I don't
know if it's something that you know that the activist
who has filed this lawsuit would end up winning in court.
(01:20):
But I'm not surprised by this temporary move. And look,
there's plenty of time for this to play out in
the courts before you know, anything were to happen with
the presidential library. I mean, you've got three more years
left of this term and then another the third term. Yeah,
so we've got plenty of time to figure this out
before that Presidential library would go up.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
And meanwhile, we've got a new bill in the works
that would require our teachers here in the state to
take an oath. It's called House Bill one forty seven.
It was filed Monday by state Representative Tom Fabricio of
Miami Leagues, who is seeking a fourth term in the
Florida House. It would require teachers to abide by constitutional
oath before being allowed to teach here in the state,
(02:04):
and if basses, the bill would become law on July
first of next year.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I wonder if the teachers have to end up taking
this oath, do they do it over the Bible or
a textbook.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Is a textbook allowed in the classic right?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Right?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
How does that work?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah, so the oath is let me see, Yeah, Dana
repeat after me. We're going to swear you in as
a teacher. I, Dana McKay, do solemnly swear.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Dana McKay, do solemnly swear that.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I will support, protect, and defend the constitution and government
of the United States, that I will.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Supports Keep up, Dana as you.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
All right, let's we'll just skip We'll skip that part.
That I'm duly quality.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
That I'm duly qualified for employment as a classroom teacher
and a state.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
That I'm duly qualified for employment as a classroom teacher
in this state.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
That I that I will well and faithfully perform the
duties of a classroom.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Teacher, and I will well And.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
If they do this, these teachers are never going to
get sworn in. This is going to go on forever.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Was sure, Just keep swimming data.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
That you'll do it in a professional, independent, objective, and
non partisan manner.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
I will do it in a professional, objective and non
partisan manner.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
That you will uphold the highest standards of academic integrity
and professional ethics.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
I will uphold the highest standards of ethics.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I told you this.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I know we think the wrong person that try this
out on my I think there's like the ten more lines.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I still gotta get to it. So you get the gests. Yeah,
you get the gest No, it's not that short.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
But I tell you, what is that just qualifying if
a teacher can can't repeat the thing?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Is that it?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
So it's basically asking a teacher to do the job
of teaching. Yes, good into anything. You're not swearing your
life where you're not going to serve in a war,
right right? Really just saying I am legally bound to
be a teacher and have all the qualifications to do so,
So help me.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
God, it exactly. Yeah, And there is a so help
me God at the end of it. So I guess
it probably would have to be over the Bible as
opposed to a textbook. But the reason that this is
being floated is because you know, you've got these teachers
under investigation. There was a report in the Miami Herald
eight teachers in Miami Daye alone under investigation for posts
(04:42):
that either parents or administrators said were politically charged. One
of them a teacher at Palmetto middle school told the
Harold that she wasn't even sure which post on her
social media was flagged to the district or why. But
then when they looked at her posts, she had apparently
reaped posted something critical of the Department of Education commissioner,
(05:04):
a post that told them to.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Go to hell.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Well, yes, be part of the problem.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, so we kind of figure out why she was flagged.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Where is the part in that oath about like I
promise I'm not gonna have sex with my students.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
That's like that, that's positive.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
We should throw that into especially here in Florida, all rights.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Have to take a legal oath by the way of
being like real good parents.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
They should, they should, they should, Yeah, be allowed to
have a kid. You're not going to be a good parent. No,
let me tell you what.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
We did a story in the five o'clock hour out
of the Tampa Bay Area.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
This panellis mother who uh sexually banned her daughter, forced
her to create these child porn videos and eleven year
old just I mean, as as awful as you could
possibly imagine. So, yeah, they should have taken oath too.
All right, let's get to one more quick story.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
This one is drawing a lot of heat on a
sheriff's office coming under fire. They posted the image of
a miner on Facebook. Nine year old Anthony Walker now
Anthony Walker was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with
a deadly weapon without intent to kill at Middleton Bernie
(06:17):
Elementary School in Crescent City. Now side note, in Florida,
like other states, were so quick to say, oh, it's
a kid, it's a miner.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
You're not supposed to do that. It's illegal.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Well, like I said, in Florida and other states, when
it involves a felony charge, a miner's name, photograph, address,
and crime report may be released if the miner is
taken into custody for a violation that would be a
felony if committed by an adult.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yeah, the sheriff was within his power to post this motion.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
The question became, should you do it when it's a
nine year old?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I just think no, I think we should be doing
this because you've got to look at the parents and
why this kid is so disturbed that he's bringing a
knife to school and threatening his classmates.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
What's going on in his house?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I don't know that this helps, you know, with those
older kids, like the high school kids sixteen seventeen making
school shooting threats and things like that.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
No matter.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
And in those cases though, I think it's also got
to do with the parents.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
But yeah, but a nine.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Year old smunk shot on Facebook, it got a lot
of butt, Like what forty seven thousand comments.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
On that post?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Forty eight Yeah, people had a lot to say about that,
all right. Natalie Rodriguez with today's stop Stories. Natalie, thanks
so much, you got it. If time now for today's
stop Stories, brought to you by my friends over at
the Holland Group Retirement and Wealth Advisors. You worked hard
to say for your future. They can help you make
the most of it. Find them online at Askdthethhollands dot com.
Good morning, Chris, Good morning.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
A Plant City man known as the Deacon of Death
has been put to death. Seventy two year old Samuel
Smithers became the oldest person executed under Florida's death penalty Austin,
who was put back into effect in nineteen seventy six.
Smithers was a former deacon at the Baptist church. He
met two sex workers at a Tampa motel on different
(08:10):
occasions brought them back to a work site in Plant
City and dumped their bodies into a pond. In nineteen
ninety six, he got caught when a friend of his
wife noticed that he was hosing down an axe and
there was a pool of blood on the ground. She
called police. They came out and investigated, and that led
them to Smithers and connected him to the murders.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
So back in the day, his coworkers had said he
was quiet and religious. He was like a country bumpkin
who never cursed. Meanwhile, he was apparently a frequenter of
the Stroll that was a stretch in Tampa that had
pawn shops and motels and used car lots and lots
(08:55):
of prostitution. And he was a dec and a custodian
at the local First Baptist Church, but he resigned a
year before the murders. He was accused of offering to
falsify a woman's community service hours in exchange for sex.
So you know this country bumpkin who's quiet and religious
(09:16):
and nice, Yeah, not so much, always the quiet one,
and then eventually committed these murders. What was interesting too,
as he was trying to avoid being put to death
one of his victims. The father of one of the
victims came out and said that he would rather see
him spend the rest of his life in jail as
(09:36):
opposed to being put to death. And he said that's
what his daughter, one of the victims, would have wanted
to But in the end that wasn't the case. He
was put to fourteenth execution so far this year, with
more to come. The second one from the Tampa Bay area.
So you know, it's just one after every couple of
(09:56):
weeks we have another execution.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
Yeah, he didn't have a meeting with a spiritual advisor. Now,
had no final statement. No, No, he did have a
final meal. He ate fried chicken, fried fish, a baked potato,
apple pie with vanilla ice cream, and a sweet tea.
All right, not a bad final meal.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Mashed potatoes instead of a baked potato though.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yeah, it didn't say you know what, even though im
latos in tolerant, if I was being put to death,
I would have the ice cream.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Why yeah, why not?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
At that point, there were about thirty people in the
in the witness room, and Chris, we've talked about this before.
You were in a witness room for an execution. I
mean it's small. It said it's small as that that's
a packed witness room at is packed. That means all
the rows were full. Yeah, and presumably that's because those
were relatives or somebody who wanted all those folks in there.
You got to get permission, but generally if you're a
(10:52):
family member or somebody related to the victims, they'll grant that.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
But there is.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
Limited space in there, and that's a lot of people
to get in there, including officials.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
And then the media of course is in there as well.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
And I do want to note that investigators think he
might have killed other people as well. He was a
person of interest in an unsolved killing of another Tampa
sex worker.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Never admitted to any other murders, but but he might
have been involved in others too. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Absolutely, And you know, those types of people who get
killed oftentimes don't have the same connections in the community
and their cases aren't always as closely followed, right, And
so that allows the killers to get away with sometimes
these events.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, and you wonder too the name like, to be honest,
the deacon of death, that's you know, sometimes well, sometimes
these killers they get these like you know, no names yeah,
you know, I mean.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Gives them some satisfaction even more for what they did.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I would bet the stories, you know, like from the
Tampa Bay Times and other outlets, the Deacon of death
probably got a lot of clicks, you know what I mean,
when you've got a killer with that kind of name, it.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Just seems like ninety six on AOL.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, I mean, now you know, with him being put
to death like it stands out.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
I mean, look, you know, this is not unusual when
you have a high profile killers who are on death row.
Oftentimes that's what happens in the media. I would imagine
it probably was a way to see a graphic on TV.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah. Well, you know, but he's gone and.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
We'll be seeing possibly two more before the end of
the year, which could mean sixteen in the state of Florida,
which is so far and away a records, it's not
even close, and it's way ahead of any other state
in the country.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I think Texas has had like five to six.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
Yeah, five, So I mean it's it's really uh, clearly
Governor DeSantis, you know, taking advantage of the ability to
sign death warrants. The Tampa Police Department has arrested a
pastor who was involved in an armed confrontation at a
District five city council community forum last week. So at
the time, the forum for the District five runoff involving
(12:59):
candidate Naya Young was beginning to end, and officers say
that there was a dispute involving thirty seven year old
Elvis Piggot of Tampa, who was accused of pulling a
gun after an argument at this forum. Police say that
the victim in the case left before officers arrived, but
they were getting evidence and getting witness statements, and then
(13:20):
after several days of investigating, ordered an arrest warrant for Piggott,
who surrendered to the jail on Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Over At Orient wrote.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
This was a hotly contested city council race here. Luckily
it didn't end up being a tragedy outside of this forum.
He is maintaining the suspect who was arrested, the pastor,
that he was confronted and somebody put their hands on him,
and he had his young kid with him, and that's
(13:52):
why he drew his weapon, never pointed it at anybody.
But apparently after further investigating, authorities decided that it warranted
some charges and arrest.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
Of course, well, he was a candidate in the run
for District five and he didn't make the cut in
the first election, and so it went to a runoff
in the top two candidates advanced, including Naya Young, And
he claims that her people were the ones who confronted him,
because he's essentially endorsing the veteran in the other candidate
in the case.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
And he's been very outspoken about it.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
And if you think that, you know, it's just national
politics that gets nasty. I mean, you can see this.
And then Amelia Gonzalez running for Miami mayor, he had
his ex accounts suspended last month and his campaign accused
his political rivals of doing it. Say hey things, you
can get nasty at the local level power.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, man.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
In this case, he got a gun in So the
Hernando Sheriff's Office investigating a shooting in spring Hill. Deputies
responded to the ten thousand block of Fordham Street. They
got a call that fifteen to twenty gun shots were
being fired in the area. So the sheriff says that
a person who lived in a house was confronted by
(15:05):
twenty six year old Ryan Aceto apparently went over to
that house, was in the front yard and wanted to
hang out. The guy who is the homeowner, was like,
get out of here. I was heading back in the
next thing you know, shots are being fired and Aceto
ended up getting shot himself. Cops showed up thinking that
there was a body in a front yard they responded
(15:27):
to actually the wrong house. It was somebody's Halloween decoration
where the body was located. So there wasn't actually a
body on the law.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Yeah, but having grown up in spring Hill, I could
tell you, you know, bodies on lawns. I mean, you
just never know if a Halloween decoration or something.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
That went wrong.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
And I'm not condoning the actions here, especially the homeowner,
but I can understand that one to be bothered.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
You know, somebody shows up to your door they want
to hang out.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Well, Aceto fired the first shots, and he's been charged
with attempted murder despite him getting shot himself. The homeowners
not facing charges. Apparently they just want to be left alone. Yeah,
he was defending himself, I guess, and you know, being
on his own property. The cops decided that he wasn't
the one to blame. In this case, I'd like to
see that Halloween decoration must be pretty good.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Did you see the other story about the house in
South Carolina that was all decorated for Halloween to make
it look like there was a fire in the house
and it's smoke coming out of it and it looked
like flames and people were calling the fires. Apartment went
over again because they thought that the story went viral.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
There was an incident.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I remember when my sister was at the University of Florida.
They did like Halloween decorations outside the apartment they had
I guess I think it was like some blood splatter
and somebody called the cops. They thought that, yeah, something
and something that happened.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
You know, I don't know what that said. Does that
mean the Halloween decorations were that good?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Or are those people that student?
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Right, right right, that's a good point. All right. Chris
Frankman with Today's Top Stories. Chris, thanks so much.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Right now we start with today's Top Stories and Natalie Rodriguez,
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Natalie, good morning.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Well, we've got a new lawsuit involving alligator Alcatraz. It
feels like forever that we've talked about it. Friends of
the Everglades filed suit this week against the Florida Division
of Emergency Management, and in this suit, it claims that
the department failed to disclose financial arrangements with the government,
in violation of the state's government and the Sunshine Act.
(17:20):
The complaint notes that as of October tenth, the department
the Division of Emergency Management had acknowledged only a single
email confirming the August seventh FEMA grant application and hasn't
produced the full grant documents or the award as of yet.
And it doesn't even talk about the inmates, it doesn't
talk about detainees, it doesn't talk about any of that
(17:44):
those details.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Now, basically, while the state was arguing in court that
there was no federal involvement in the tension center, so
there was no need for an environmental review, they were
trying to get reimbursed for the facility from the federal government.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Hilarious bit of a problem.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
And yesterday Dana actually asked former House Speaker Paul Renner
about the cost of Alligator Alcatraz. If you missed that interview,
he's running for the Republican nomination for governor.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
We've got it for you. On the podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Search for Ryan Gorman Show on your iHeartRadio app or
wherever you listen to podcasts. It's also on YouTube the
full interview. You could follow us there and subscribe at
Ryan Gorman Show. And his answer was was interesting, it's amazing.
We asked Rick Scott about the cost of Alligator Ocatraz
whether or not it was worth it, you know, the
all thing costs like four hundred something million dollars. He
(18:37):
didn't know anything about it, and then Paul runnerdon't really
you know, he didn't know a lot of the detail,
like you never know any of the details tales.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Yeah, and if he were to do it, he would
do a cost effectively. But they probably maybe just needed
the space, you know, like yeah, typical politicians answer where
they dance around and they don't want to say no,
that was a bad.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Idea, exactly right. The bottom line is it cost a
lot of money. It's already basically shut down.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
I can't even find out how many people are there
at this point.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
No, it was so public at first they were so.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
Proud of it, and now you can't find out how
many detainees are there.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Yeah, and they managed it up and up another facility
in North Florida for six million dollars, much more cost effective.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
So yeah, that's the answer. That's why it's so frustrating
duct politicians.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Second, and he was very nice, oh yea, yeah, but
it's still it's just frustrating because they won't give you
a straight answer to any of these damn questions.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
All Right, what else is going on?
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Natalie blanche Elee High School's assistant football coach. We talked
about this. He was arrested last month after allegedly fighting students. Well,
he has now officially been fired. Jamiir Clark was caught
on video earlier this year battling students in Monarchi's bathroom.
The chief human resources officer told school board members that
they would not have assigned him to be a campus
(19:48):
monitor at Crestaven Elementary if they knew his history.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, the same result of termination would have happened the
minute we received that video, had we received it on
the day that occurred.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
So what happened was that he had a history of
conflicts with students or or athlete students in different schools
that he worked at.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
It wasn't just this one school.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
He is now facing eight counts of child abuse without
great bodily harm.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Yeah, he used that that bathroom in the one video
that was circulating. It looked like he thought it was
a UFC octagon and he's he's a big dude, and
he's tossing these students around like rag dolls.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I mean, it can no fighting.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Studentside your own age. And while we're on the topic
of schools here in Florida, there were over three dozen
Florida school districts and I haven't seen like the full list,
uh yet. That got false reports of a bomb threat yesterday.
I guess there was some swatting email thread. The email
(20:54):
didn't include specific details or any like direct threats to
an individual campus. It was very generic, but it went
out and you had all these school districts. So you're
talking him three that's a lot of school districts across
the state having to deal with this, this bomb threat yesterday.
So another thing for law enforcement and schools to deal with.
All right, let's get to one more quick story now.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Well, since we're talking about schools and kids, A seventeen
year old suspected of faking his disappearance last month and
Dunalan now is facing criminal charges. At the time, Marion
County's top cop, Sheriff Billy Woods, said of Cayden Spate,
that he had told his mother in a text that
he was attacked.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
Cayden, who had a handgun with him since the beginning
of all of this, chose to shoot himself.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
In the leg.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Apparently.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Sheriff Wood says that the resulting Amber alert wasted a
lot of resources. And this seventeen year old is now
charged with, among other things, making a false crime report
and firing a gun into his own car cling and
that led to the whole spiral story about him being attacked,
that he shot at and all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
This, this whole thing, It was an elaborate, uh plan
that this kid had And and I haven't seen a
report as to why exactly he did this. But he
shot a bullet hole through the windshield of his truck.
He abandons it. Uh, then I I guess they said
he used a blood mixture to simulate an injury. So
(22:27):
there was there was like blood and drag marks in
the dirt. That's why they thought. And he destroyed his
cell phone and left it there, That's why they thought
that he was abducted.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
He claimed that it was for Hispanic men. Uh that
did it.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
And then they start finding that he had made purchases
at a Walmart in Okalla, uh, and things start to
kind of spiral and not make sense. And then they
they uncovered chat GPT searches on his laptop collecting blood
(23:01):
without causing pain, and he was looking for information on
Mexican cartels like this is really elaborate. And then to
try to keep this whole lie up, he eventually shot
himself in the leg.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
Well, I wonder if chat GYP, if he's been talking
to chat GPT and he went down a rabbit hole
and maybe that kind of influenced him in some way,
because we've seen those stories about people kind of going
nuts because of chat GPT.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yah know.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
