Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time time time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael very show is on the air.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
The father of the young lady at the Katie Taylor
ISD event. Danny g and Francesco is our guest. Danny,
Welcome to the program. You, Michael, obviously neither you nor
I were at We're in the classroom that day. What
you know, you know from what your daughter told you
(00:53):
Tell me what happened prior to the moment I see
on camera. I've seen the footage of his pun of
her pushback and then him began to pummel her. Was
there anything that happened prior to all of this.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, that was actually a retaliation. He had been sexually
harassing her with comments for a while and she tryingly
told her boyfriend and he told the kid to stop
talking to his girlfriend like that or there was going
to be problems or whatever he said. I don't know,
but that kid went to class and he was angry
(01:31):
at Brooklyn for telling her boyfriend. So he was sitting
behind her, chatting away, calling her name, saying inappropriate stuff,
and she my daughter, don't take anything from anybody, including me,
and so she was arguing back, and she stood up
to go use the bathroom, and he came up to
(01:52):
her desk and he put his chest up to her,
and he was bowing up to her and yelling at her,
calling her names, and acting like he was going to
hit her. So she pushed him off of her, went up,
got a bathroom pass, went to the bathroom. She said
she was in there about ten minutes, crying angry, and
she calmed herself down and went back to class. And
(02:14):
what you see she was talking to the girl in
the front desk and he walked up, and that's when
the video started, is when he walked up. And so
I don't know if he told the kid next to him, hey,
you know, I'm gonna go slap this whatever, because he
started the video right on time. And the kid walked
up to her and he slapped her. And my daughter
(02:36):
looked at the teacher and said, are you going to
do anything? Did you see this? And the teacher was worthless,
And so when she turned back to the kid, she
saw he was bowed up and ready to hit her,
and that's that then you see the video.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
So the video, but not once, not once, did.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
She hit him swing at him. She told me the
other day she just tried to close the distance so
that he couldn't swing on her again.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
So so it was his friend who filmed this. I
wondered how that came about.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Yeah, I think they might be friends, but it was
another kid in the class, and he won't he won't
let he won't. He told Brooklyn that she could use
the video. But I've had Channel thirteen, Channel eleven wanting
to talk to him and he won't release. He won't
give him okay to use a video.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
So well, I have the video and it is I've
watched it now several times and it is very disturbing.
I think it would be a lot more disturbing if
that was my daughter being punched by this punk. But yeah, wow.
You know, one of the things that doesn't, you know,
intuitively cross your mind when you watch a video is
(03:57):
to ask the question why is that person filming? And
in a case with this, this kid had to have
some sense that something is about to happen because he
is watching the scene from what would appear to be
where it all starts, because it's not like they're rolling
around on the floor by the time he gets his
phone out, see this, who is the teacher? Because something
(04:19):
needs to be done to this teacher. This is not
this is not appropriate.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Now at all. This teacher was a temporary substitute teacher
that was not very temporary. He's been there all year,
so I don't know what qualifications he has. I don't
know if you've got to go through any training to
be a substitute. Apparently not, Danny.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I don't need training as a teacher to know that
when two students get into it, especially when there's a
size weight strength differential like this, that my job is
to get him off of her before he kills her.
I mean every person, I mean every person that makes
it to the age of twelve knows that.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Well. If this happened in my day, we would have
been fighting each other to get at that guy right
before any of this.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
If this had happened at our school, I don't care.
If it was the most unpopular girl and the most
popular boy, I don't care. If she wronged him, that
kid would have been beaten to death. It would have
been on. Everybody would have jumped. And in this case,
they're all sitting back going oh oh, they're gasping, but
nobody steps into help.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Yeah, what did I say about the kids? These days, it.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Says everything okay, So then fast forward, do they finish
out that hour of the clas what class is it?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
By the way, it was a fifth period of I
think geography okay.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Obviously was in conflict resolution? Okay, So the day is
almost over. Do they sit through the end of the
class at that point?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (05:56):
No.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
I got a call, I guess it was like two
fifty almost three o'clock the school ends at like two
thirty five by the assistant principal, who also was worthless
in this situation, and she told me my daughter had
been in a fight and it was with a boy,
and I needed to come pick her up. And you know,
(06:18):
you get that call, and I got a hundred questions
and she wouldn't answer single one of them. So I
was I was on the other side of town. I
had my father go pick her up, and then I
came here and she had purple, huge welts on her forehead,
Her jaw was swollen and black and blue, the back
(06:39):
of her head was sore, her shoulder was all messed up.
And so I went in the next morning to talk
to the principal. Well, the principal was not in school
that day. And then they told me that she had
meetings all day Thursday, so she couldn't see me till Friday. Well,
I put up a little stink, but didn't get me anywhere.
(07:01):
So Friday I went in and had a meeting with
the assistant principal and the officer from KISD police that
was there to fill out the reports, and they were
not very receptive. Neither one of them had seen the video.
They made the call that it was a mutual confrontation
(07:22):
without seeing that video. I don't know what they went
off of. And I tried to show it to them
and they didn't want to see it. Neither one of
them would look at it. Then assistant principal, Yeah, who
is that she wouldn't look Miss Miles Jane Miles.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Okay, and uh yeah, or she didn't she didn't want
to see it because she knew it was on she
didn't want to have to.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Well, I don't know, because that this was the next morning, so.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
One place so crazy, so totally we goo that everybody
has a farting to Michael Berry Joe.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Dream Up Growing Up. Nanny Jan Francesco is the father
of the young lady at the center of an incident
at Katie Taylor High School that needs to be reviewed
and not swept under the rug. Danny, let me ask you, Uh,
there are reports that your daughter was kicked off the
(08:32):
volleyball team after she's beat up by this black student.
And then you got you went down and talked to them.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I talked to three of the coaches and uh, they
were going to take her out of off season, but
they were going to let her try out again next year,
but they were actually going to remove her from off
season put her in a regular pe craft And I
finally one of the coaches, I guess has some common
s ants and they kept throwing the team, but they
(09:01):
want her to run and do you know punishment exercises. Uh,
Brooklyn said every day after school in April. But I
sent her a rhtter to the coach asking her to
hold off because she just got released from concussion protocol.
I guess she was out a week after this incident.
She was still having Disney spells.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Well, basis of course, and trust me, he will stay
on football team. They will not take him on.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Well what is that ahead?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
No, you're good?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I mean, is that what they want? Reflecting their athletic program.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
They don't care preasure Danny. I'm telling you that they
don't fear you. They fear the people that would be
activated if they punished that kid. That's what they fear.
They live in fear of being called a racist. There's
no doubt will most people in this country do. Over
ninety percent of people do.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Well. They should fear me because I'm not going to
stop until I a justice from my DA.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
The only way that happens is if you become the
turd in the punch ball. You have got to be
willing to be so unpopular, even among the parents in
your circle who go all right, I think you got
your point across, because it is only let me tell
you something. After the George Floyd incident where he died
of an overdose, police officers across the country were shown
(10:33):
to be pulling up on scenes and refusing to engage
if it was a black assailant, black suspect because they
were so afraid of being sent to prison for life
if they have to restrain someone who has a drug overdose.
I'm telling you the racial overtones in a case like
this that school hopes this thing goes away. The only
way you're ever going to get any semblance of justice
(10:55):
is to make yourself such an ass and such a
thorn in their side that they have to confront this
publicly or they have to prove you wrong. They have
to show that something happened that you say didn't. But
you can't deny he beats us, not out of her,
no matter what the terms are. I mean, I've heard
every angle. You can't deny he beats us, not out
of this little girl. So she's a freshman that once Wait, yeah,
(11:16):
she's a freshman and he is what.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
He's a freshman too, But I don't know how old
he is. I went up there and the school would
give me no. I couldn't even get a copy of it.
They wrote a citation. Brooklyn has to go to court
for disorderly conduct for this incident.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Danny and Ary very clearly, I am not a person
who believes in using our court system to resolve conflict
until the system refuses to fix it themselves. Get yourself
the most aggressive lawyer and sue them to Kingdom. Come
demand every document, Put every kid under oath, put every
(11:56):
teacher under oath, every internal communication you can get all this,
Get every internal communication, because I guarantee you that assistant
principle emailed one of the teachers and said, hey, don't
talk about this, we don't need quant LX down here
or that little white girl. I guarantee you there are
things in those emails. I would sue that school. I
would sue the kids parents, I would sue that teacher.
(12:17):
I would make them a living hell until every scrap
of evidence came forward and we knew every detail of
how this was handling covered up. If you think that
you're going to win this case on the strength and
conviction of your character and being a father, I got
news for you. You blow your brains outside because they're never
going to help you. They're never going to help.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I'm not that naive. I mean, I've got some people
piling up here willing to help me already, and I
will not stop.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I'm in the business. It's this. I deal with this
day in and day out, and I'm here to tell
you you are not going to get relief. They're not
going to willingly. They're not going to willingly help you
or do the right thing. The only way that that
is when shame and fear and money and professional I
wouldn't stop until I had them fired. I wouldn't stop
(13:08):
until I had every shred of evidence and every person
involved their lives destroyed. You can't allow people to do this.
This is what Black Lives Matter does. This is what
kwan l X does. This is why they win all
the time, and people like you get screwed just telling you, well.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
This is I understand, and I agree with you, but
this is this is a sexual harassment problem. Is what
this is. And they're, like you said, they have not
cooperated with me at all, and they've made it as
hard as possible that I've gone to the KISD police
station three times now trying to get a copy of
the citation, any information, a police report. They keep denying me,
(13:49):
and you're gonna have to get a You're gonna have
to get a law I would have the Katie police
chief living in fear of my lawyer.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I would get a lawyer who is filing every document
possile and every day giving a press relief, a press conference.
I would make this the most high profile case. You
look at this kid that stabbed a white kid in
the chest and he's wanted for they catch him for murder.
It's right, there's no doubt he did it. He's going
to prison for the rest of his life. They have
(14:16):
flipped the switch on this thing. He has raised hundreds
of thousands of dollars, he got his his bond drop
from a million to two point fifty, and the whole
thing has turned the other direction. And the victim's family
is saying, what just happened. I'm telling you, nobody is
going to do the right thing. I don't want you
to think I'm mad at you. I'm frustrated by the
system here and it riles me up. I'm telling you
(14:38):
I would go nuclear on this, and I would. Anybody
that knows me, no, I would. I would have a lawyer,
and we would be Everything we were doing would be
in the news that evening. All right, we want to
see every document you reviewed. We want to know who
reviewed it. We want the video put into the public record.
I would not stop. I would show no mercy. And
you know what you'll do. You won't solve your problem.
(14:59):
You won't bring back your child's own innocence. But what
you will do is the next little girl that gets
the hell beat out of her by a young punk,
that that school will say, uh, oh, let's do the
right thing this time, because they won't do the right thing.
They will not, They're incapable.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
They've done everything but the right thing they did. The
school board even or the kid even sent out an
email telling any parents that have a copy of the
video to erase it.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Of course, yeah there again destroy the Evans there any
hang in there, Bud. I wish you the best of luck.
I'm sorry if my tone, my wife says, I seem
like I'm yelling at her, when actually I'm just advocating
on her behalf. But I would get me the meanest,
toughest Tony Busby kind of lawyer, and I would make
hell out of their lives till they did the right thing.
And the triple crown weave is, you know, tilting to
(15:50):
the side, the leaning tower of Weaver. I'm tell you
my text email like, girl, well, let's tax David. You
knew that already. It is that day when you are
(16:11):
reminded how much money the government takes from you. Blows
my mind. How excited people are that they're getting a
tax refund. Do you understand that means they've been holding
your money all this time? Do you understand that just
holding your money there. Insurance companies make their money off
(16:36):
investing your money. So on Monday you give them your
money and they hold it till Friday, and by Friday
it's worth more than it was on Monday, and they
keep the difference. Even if they paid out one hundred
percent of premiums back to you or back to premium
(16:56):
payers across the spread of their base, they would keep
the invested income and that'd be enough to oh, I
don't know, half nice downtown office buildings. Yeah, that means
the government held onto your money for an entire year
at a time of high interest rates. Heck, you could
(17:18):
go get a T bill, you could get there have
been times within the last year that you could get
five percent on your money with zero risk or close enough.
And that's not even that's not even undertaking any real
risk return. And they kept it you. If you gave
(17:40):
them ten thousand dollars in January of last year, and
now you get on April fifteenth or a week from now,
when you get your return eighteen months later, fifteen sixteen
months later, you get that money back, it's worth a lot.
You lost money on that deal. Anyway, another subject for
another day. Some of the richest women in the world
(18:03):
apparently loaded up their Gucci bags and took a quick vacation.
A rose all day to space yesterday. Gail King, Katie Perry,
and Jeff Bezos's wife, the one with the big boobs,
were some of the passengers. Of course, how could we
miss it? The media covered it like it was Apollo eleven.
(18:24):
Someone they hired pecked their bags last night. Fly money
they've got, but they're no ash enough fram and you
gotta be high to think they can fly.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
And that right there the milestone of this whole ascent.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Oprah watching her best friend go to space the.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Flight Instarcher said that I am her best success story.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
Why because she's never had some and he goes through
the course.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Who's terrified of flying?
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Everybody who's gone through the course of somebody that there's
been a lifelong dream they wanted to do it, So
she said, I'm her best successor.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I'm so proud of me right now.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Very very fine grain, didn't you get quoting to it
like a powder.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
I'm so proud of me right now. I'm so proud
of me right now.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
I tell you something, right now, you are officially an astronaut.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
How do you feel? I feel super connected to love.
I'm so proud of me right now. You never know
how much love is inside of.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
You, Rocket Shad. It's all about then, like how much
love you have to give and how loved you are
until the day you launch.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
As I loved it.
Speaker 7 (19:54):
The month of April, You're like, I'm going to space
and I'm launching my tour and it's really incredible. Now
I know I'm asking this question for your fans. Will
you write a song about this experience?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
For sure, one hundred and not only that, I have
got to reveal my setlist for the tour on a
butterfly poor, I'm just flying in space. I don't know
if anyone's ever did space.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I don't know anyone's ever done that before.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
So I'll just do.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
There's a lot of things that you've done.
Speaker 7 (20:19):
First, you are now officially an astronaut.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
And let me just tell you.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
On behalf of everyone here a blue Origin, I'll webcast
and everyone, all of these individuals that put this incredible
thing on congratulations.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
The concept of being an astronaut. You had people, well,
you had only men to start Chris Suman Shepherd. These
guys were the best of the best. They were mental giants,
they were physical giants, they were accomplished men of science
(21:04):
who put their bodies through insane rigors to earn this
title astronaut. And now we've got this cosplay of Gail King.
Let me tell you something. Anything Gail King does is
therefore necessarily not impressive Physically, that woman doesn't take the
(21:29):
stairs to the second floor if the elevator's out, you're
officially an astronaut hi the field, Gail.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
I'm so proud of me.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
I'm just so proud of me. I did this for me.
Grow power. And that's my problem with the girl power
girls is is powder puff football parading around like the
Super Bowl. There are women who do amazing things and
nobody talks about birth. We take it for granted because
(22:03):
it's how we all got here. You ever been in
the room that's trauma? Man? Were you in the room
for your baby's birth? Oh, you're probably still traumatized? My god,
you can't look them in the eyes of this day.
It's like a basketball coming out of your nostril. It's
(22:32):
it is a feat of nature. And that tain't splitzing
halfy the pisi and everybody's excited. There's a baby, and
I'm thinking that woman. Have you ever seen a woman
right after they go through childbirth that's so much worse
(22:53):
than a career in the NFL? I mean really, And
you know, it's an amazing thing. Nature is an amazing thing.
Women have a god given ability shortly after giving birth.
And this is true in nature. This is these are
(23:14):
things we don't we don't choose. They happen that mother
immediately goes into caregiver mode, provider of milk and cover
and love and protection and all these things, and she
forgets the hell she just went through or why else
(23:37):
would they have another one? You know, you wonder they
have that one. That's girl power. But see the liberals,
a feminists, most of them don't have women, don't have
children themselves. They minimize what the real heroism of women
is and say, no, no, you need to be over here,
you need to be Katy Perry going.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
I feel that one with the space of the Earth
A show. You have my attention, U game, Laura right zar.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
I hate to sound insensitive, but it's always been my
opinion that women's been way too much on handbags. Who cares?
Obviously many do. Here's a post from today's drama in
Nacadoc's let's check out what's going on to Naycock. It's
just a sample of the daily trials up here. I
roll emphasis on Facebook nac Talk. Listen this one. Hey guys,
(24:33):
this is a far stretch, but I lost my clutch
purse today in town. It's a Louis Vuton clutch purse,
except it's Louis Vuitton inspired because inspired was in parenthesis.
Oh there's no reason. If it's sufficiently inspired, nobody know
the difference, So just call it a Louis Vuitton. Who cares.
(24:57):
It has my husband's ID and both of us our
phones in it, So at this point you're thinking, well,
that's a bummer. You know, she lost her purse. It's
not Louis Vuitton, but she was honest about the fact
that this Louis Vuitton inspired. That's you and me. When
the show's over today, go over to Harwin. Go into
one of the PAKISTANIU rip off stores. Hey, do y'all
(25:20):
have any Gucci inspired wallets in here? Because I noticed
the wallet's eighteen hundred and that seems dumb. At the gallery,
and I don't want to get mugged. So I was
just gonna see if you had any Gucci inspired wallets
in here. Not that I seem like the kind of
(25:40):
guy that would carry a Gucci wallet, but if you did,
I was curious how much, because I'm guessing I could
get the same wallet for two dollars. But if it
was inspired by Gucci, I bet I pay you a
hundred for it, you know, because I could pull it
out at the club. People be impressed. They were like, boo,
(26:00):
you got a Gucci watch. Somebody else go that ain't
no Gucci got that on her? One I said he
was inspired, is inspired by Gucci. Gucci can inspire things,
all right. So it's a Louis Vuton inspired clutch purse.
It has my husband's ID and both of our phones
in it. That's kamb oboma at this point. It also
(26:22):
has our food stamp cards. Wait what oh? How does
that work? When you go in and pay for something
and you pull out your food stamp card From what
you're passing off as being a Louis Vauton purse. It
strikes me that all societies say, whoa ho ho, Hold
(26:44):
hold a minute, you're using food stamps, which means I'm
paying for your food, but you're carrying a Louis Vuton purse,
which I can't afford. I work and pay my taxes
and you're carrying a Louis Vuitton purse. Oh no, it's
just a Louisvton inspired Oh okay, it has our foodstamp cards. Also,
(27:08):
one has his name on it. Well, now somebody's walking
around with this dude's food stamp card. It'd be cool
if he had a name that might not match up
with the demographic profile of the person that now has
hold of his foodstamp card, wouldn't it. It might be
(27:29):
a oh it might be an inspired foodstamp card. Yeah,
you probably get one of those two. There isn't anything
on the cards, and nothing of value money wise. I'm
not sure why she would say that, Like, if it's you,
go ahead and give it back home. Ain't nothing on it,
ain't nothing on to it. There are a lot of
(27:50):
sentimental pictures and stuff on the phones though, And my
husband's idea is also important. So if anyone at all
happens to find it, please let me know. I can
give a reward for its safe return out of what
where does the reward money come from? So many questions,
(28:14):
But there's one more little nugget in here. I was
around several places around town, so I have no clue,
but I figured, since there are a lot of people
in this group, maybe I will be blessed and can
get it back. I like when people use blessed in
such a manner. Yeah, I went in, put a pistol
in that Arabs face, told him to hit the cash register,
(28:38):
and I was blessed with three hundred and eighty three dollars. Yes,
so I was able that night to go to the
club and I was able to bless Destiny, and she
blessed me back with a couple of dances, and we
was able to both be blessed by the club with
some nice champagne in the champagne room. And so I
(29:03):
was able to bless the door, the door men on
the way out, and I even blessed the valet parker
who parked my car up front. So apparently there's a
follow up to her post with the thanks in advance
and a smiley face. And the follow up was places
(29:23):
where they stopped that day where it could have been misplaced,
and one of them was stands liquor mark because you know,
we don't have food, we don't have money for food,
but we have money for booze. Our society has gone
(29:45):
so soft, so inefficient, so unjust. If you're a bad
person but shameless about it, you can live high on
the hall while so many people struggle and scrimp and save,
work their tails off, and their money is taken to
give to losers. Where is the concept to shame? Michael Berry,
(30:10):
We've got to bring back shame. There's got to be
more shame, got to be. Charles is traumatized by being
in the room to the earth. Charles, Hello, yes, sir, Yes, Well.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
You're talking about being in the room one of the
