Speaker 1 (00:07):
ABC News Radio. I'm Brian Schuk. Democrats who fled the
state of Texas to stop congressional redistricting are vowing to
fight on. Speaking from Chicago with his colleagues, Texas Democratic
Congressman Al Green said he'll keep fighting.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
We're taking a stand and we are going to prevent
them from going forward.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
In Texas, Governor Greg Abbott has ordered the state's Department
of Public Safety to arrest House Democrats who were not
present for the special legislative session on Monday. With the
Democrats gone, the GOP is unable to vote to redraw
the map that would give them five more pickup opportunities
ahead of twenty twenty six. A Trump administration envoy is

(00:48):
going to Russia for what the President has called a
last chance at Ukraine ceasefire talks. Steve Whitcoff heads there
as a ceasefire deadline Trump imposed on Russia expires on Friday.
Floods could be on the way four millions in the
Southeast as a tropical downpour threat will remain in the
region for days. It comes after Alabama was hit with

(01:09):
deadly flooding yesterday that killed one person. Changes are coming
for Social Security beneficiaries who receive paper checks. Matt Mattinson explains.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
The Social Security Administration announced that starting on September thirtieth,
it would no longer issue paper checks. Now, beneficiaries must
opt to have their benefit payments delivered electronically by direct deposit, or,
if they don't have a bank account, receive their benefit
payments on a prepaid debit card known as direct Express.
An agency spokesperson said the administration is proactively contacting beneficiaries

(01:42):
to alert them about the change, and note that if
a beneficiary has no other means to receive payments, they'll
continue to send paper checks. I'm at Mattinson.

(10:23):
for food, so like or even just your club. You know,
you're like, hey, so so help out, uh because because
what I'm noticing, team is my sponsors are having a
little hard time. It's uh, it's it's getting uh lean
when it comes to money, of course, and uh, I'm
usually the first one they call and the first one

(10:44):
to let go. So when it comes to doing sponsorships

it out there, and then you're like, oh my god,

to tell me I'm just giving you guys a little
bit of warning that, uh, it seems like there might

Speaker 11 (12:32):
I'd like to also say that we are looking for

are you only want to sponsor one show and you
want me to mention a specific business something know we
can handle that. Uh uh ok jah shaboo shaboo and
uh mochi nut and uh koreem a barber foot chicken.
It's hard times right now for them. They decided to

(13:17):
try a different avenue for advertising, which I encourage if
if if Facebook isn't providing what you wanted or Instagram
isn't doing what you do, you got to try the
different things and see. But she's she still may come
back at the end of the year. She said that
she really likes helping. I love Sameronnandino. So that's that's
how we're looking at a team. We're providing these possibilities

(13:40):
and if you're interested in doing it, hit me up
and we'll make it happen and we'll get your stuff out.
A little bit works, you know, and it also helps
because we try to do good shows here and help
the community, and that's why we appreciate great sponsors like
pal Charter Academy. I'd like to do a little bit
of a uh Samonnadino history tidbit if you guys don't
mind knock it out, all right, So this is legend

(14:03):
of the Arrowhead Salmonuel legend of or the Jhavia tom
of Salmonoel told by John Brown Junior and reviewed at
a pioneer meeting in the Sameronnardino County Sun September no
December twenty first, nineteen thirteen. A new legend the following,
new legend of the Arrowhead was read and created much

(14:23):
interest and amusement. Many many years ago, the Serrano Indians,
a branch of the Mission Indians of southern California, established
a large rancheria or village, on a flat where the
hot springs are a little northeast of the present site
of the famous Arrowhead Hotel, at the base of what
is now known as Arrowhead Mountain. Attracted to this picturesque

(14:45):
retreat by the curative properties of the hot water issuing
from the springs and the canyon nearby on the west,
and also by the abundance of game on all sides,
which afforded them food. Here they lived in ease and
contempt in the midst of the mountains surrounding them, and
imagined they saw the Great Spirit in the clouds and

(15:06):
heard him in the wind and thunder. It happened then,
as it happened since it happened then, as it has
happened since, even among civilized communities. Which I don't agree
with that, but that's an old way of history of writing.
That two of these braves fell in love with a
and sought the hand of a dusky maiden, Maria daughter

(15:26):
of Chief Gabriel, who so earnestly did they press their
devotions that Gabriel was obliged to take these wooings in
hand himself, and ordered them settled at once, according to
the ancient custom of his tribe, the ordeal of mortal
combat with bows and arrows, the conquered to be entitled
to his durly, duly purchased bride. This chieftain fixed all day,

(15:50):
summoned his tribe to attend and see fair play. The
solemn day arrived, forty paces were stepped off by him.
The antagonists, Santos and Angelo, were ordered to face one another.
The bow and arrows were carefully examined and found to
be an excellent condition, the arrows being provided with the
hardest and sharpest arrowheads of flint rock that could be

(16:14):
obtained in the mountains. And when all was in readiness,
Chief Gabriel, having his daughter by his side, gave the
command to fire, and the duel was on, but did
not last long, but few arrows left their quiver when
a well directed arrow from the bow of Angelo pierced

(16:34):
the heart of Santos, who fell to the ground, exclaiming
Maria's yours. Angelo approached his victim, pulled the bleeding arrow
from his dying rival, placed it in his bow, and
with all his strength, and in the moment of his triumph,
shot this arrow, with its bleeding arrowhead away up into

(16:54):
the mountain side, where it was embedded in the earth
and gradually began to grow and finally attained its present size.
The noted landmark of the San Bernardino Valley, the oh
the arrowhead, the mysterious configuration that attracts the tension and

(17:15):
excites the wonder of thousands who live in and pass
through the loveliest valley in all of California. It is
needless to say that Chief Gabriel ordered a great feast
and called his tribe together, in the midst of dancing
and rejoicing, gave to Angelo his daughter Maria in marriage.
The bride and groom lived a long, happy life, whose
descendants still live at Samonuel on the mountain side north

(17:37):
of Southern California State Hospital. Who treasured this romantic legend
and confided it in their old time friend, John Brown Jr.

Speaker 4 (17:45):
Of this city.

Speaker 11 (17:46):
Wow, So I found that, you know, in the old newspaper,
you know, just looking for arrowhead references in the search engine, right,
or references to Koea or Serrano or Indian or Native American.

Speaker 10 (18:03):
Right.

Speaker 11 (18:03):
So all these things, uh uh, all these terms were
used for the local people here, even if it didn't
really represent them, right, But in the newspapers that's what
they called them, so like and unfortunately sometimes things like savage.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
And things like that.

Speaker 11 (18:20):
So I try. I want to take these stories and
repurpose them with allout that stuff, right, But that's something
for the future because of you know, their awhead. I'm
studying other stuff on there right now, including these these
stories right here on the arrowhead. But that's left for
another story. So thank you team for my Sami. You know,

(18:40):
history tidbit very interesting. Now, this does not fully represent
how Sam and well Phil's really This is told by
a white guy back in the day. You know. I'm
I hope that they would love this story, but maybe
they don't. I don't know, but like I know that
it's still as history, and I do believe it does

(19:00):
have some circle journey.

Speaker 10 (19:03):
Yes, I was right there.

Speaker 11 (19:04):
Yeah, I think it's a beautiful story and I would
love to see like my ultimate goal with the salmon
and Oel and do a play of it of course
in Sana. So like I was at one point I
wanted to write the play in Serranto when I was
trying it, but like I was told that probably hold
back on that, but but.

Speaker 10 (19:24):
Still it was.

Speaker 11 (19:25):
I still thought it would be cool. And then have
you know Serrano's play the part.

Speaker 12 (19:29):
It might be a good play like elementary middle schools.

Speaker 11 (19:32):
Yeah, it is a little extreme, you know, but like
I mean, like all all all old stories do have
extreme parts to it.

Speaker 12 (19:41):
Exact, hey, we were all children at some.

Speaker 11 (19:43):
Point, so yeah. And then Hensel and Gretel they got
eight Yeah, so uh that that's that's just an incredible
story that I love. And I found out myself in
the newspaper. So I did give it to Sam and
Weel and I believe their cultural department.

Speaker 12 (19:59):
Has That's that's good. That's cool.

Speaker 11 (20:02):
So uh oh, I did forget to mention or I
love Sambernardinos Standing out of the week though is uh.
I call him Chuck a Rhino ahoba ahobla uh. He
is from uh Inland Empire prospectors and miners and Chuck
he loves gold. He loves gold, he loves his team,

(20:24):
loves gold. And you know, I've been affiliated with them
for about ten years. I'm not always paid up in
my dues because GPAA, you know, they're they're pretty expensive.
But but I do love to go hang out and
look for gold and stuff with them. But what I
wanted to showcase was that they go to the schools
and all these non for profit events and different things,

(20:48):
and they teach the kids how to pay for gold
and how to look at fossils and how to look
at minerals on their own. And they don't get paid,
they get donations. So I think that is awesome. You know,
if you're willing to put in time for the kids,
right and you know that's you might well they would
probably love it over there. Yeah. So, like what they

(21:12):
do is they bring out their high banker and stuff,
and you have these little bags of pay dirt and
each kid gets to go through the pay dirt and
they usually puts a coin in their crystal or fossils. Yeah,
and fake gold. But they've actually lately been buying real
gold and putting it in the in some of these,

(21:35):
so you can't find real gold too. So a lot
of times, well in the past when we did it,
we'd use a pay dirt from Big Bear and it
always had pieces of gold, so like, I'm really good
at finding it. So like, you know, they find the
fake gold in the kids' faces with automatic and then

(21:56):
their face goes fracture some and then I said, the
real gold is a little bit deeper, and then we
find it and just look. Then they understand, oh, gold
is hard to find. Gold is small. It takes an
eye dropper to get it. It starts to it really
starts to get in there. Oh my gosh, how much

(22:17):
of that does it take to make a ring? Exactly? Yeah,
So it does more than just gold. It teaches them math,
it teaches them to think critically. Right, So these are
positive things that they do for our community. And I
see the parents just as static at it as.

Speaker 12 (22:35):
A kid sopointment. Yeah, and then I'm like, oh wait
for those more all right?

Speaker 11 (22:42):
Oh yeah, like and they just I think they just
like to see the kids enjoying it so much, right,
But then parents they like to get wet and playing
the gold too, so you know, or at least see
their kids enjoying it and good stuff. So thank you.
Inland Empire Prospectors and Minor GPA chapter they have their
own page on Facebook if you'd like to find out

(23:03):
more information. And they have a meeting once a month
up at the Elks Lodge and we have dinner and
things like that, so it's fun. I suggest if you
want to find gold, you join them. If you want
to find fossils, you join them. If you want to
find crystals, go join them. They have lots of excursions
where they go to the mines Impalla and look at

(23:24):
the turnoline minds. I'll they'll go up to the mines
in Big Bear, the gold mines there. We went to
shark Tooth Hill out in Baker's Field and dug up
our own fossil shark teeth. So really cool and fun stuff.

Speaker 10 (23:36):
Make sure that sounds like fun.

Speaker 11 (23:39):
Oh yeah, I'll give them a call. The call, and
before we get into any of that stuff, we do
have a meeting. I messed up last week. Our city
meeting is on Wednesday this week. I thought it was
last week. I don't know. I lost because it was
five Wednesday last month. It always throws me off, right, yea,
So this Wednesday it will be our first city meeting

(24:00):
of the month and I will be installed. Oh let
me take that back. If I get five votes, right,
I will be installed as the new commissioner for the
mayor or to fill out the term of a commissioner
that left in the Arts in Historical Preservation commission or.
I was former chairman with the last council member, Damon Alexander,

(24:22):
but I was removed from office. But now I found
my way back there.

Speaker 12 (24:27):
Yeah, and I do, you got.

Speaker 11 (24:31):
I did have longevity, and I didn't know everything that
they were doing, but I guess you know, you know
that the staff has all that stuff too, but you know,
but at least I'm back, so I can, you know,
help and guide the commission my way and listen to
how they want to be guided and like, you know, good,
We're all just a vote. You know, there's seven or
those nine votes, so you know, you just you have

(24:53):
to get enough votes to get what you want or
or you you know, with these commissions it's often whoever's
willing to do the work is what goes on on
the commission, right, And like if you're willing to do
any work you can, they'll give you responsibility, right, like
doing inventories of the art that we have in the city.

(25:16):
What I'm trying to get done is inventory of all
our historic spots. Like I had it started and then
like our park, some rec lady got fired like man,
Like that was hard on me when when she left. Man,
I was like okay, so like now we have to
start all over. But like I do know the historical

(25:38):
Society was working on it. So hopefully we'll reconnect those
dots and it would be really nice to get an
AI version of all of our historical sites. I mean,
if Microsoft is assuming that all historians are going to
disappear along with teachers, then uh, you know what hey,
you know, like like you better get started now, right, Yeah,

(26:00):
but uh, I think historians before teachers because unfortunately, you know,
you put it in Google image, it comes right up right.
So this is some wild it's the wild West stuff
when it comes to new technology.

Speaker 12 (26:12):
Man.

Speaker 11 (26:13):
Yeah, but I'm hoping that it will create better databases
for our history to be able to protect it better
and not be the known for the city that destroys
their history all.

Speaker 12 (26:24):
The time, as long as they keep it original from
how they find it and not add to it.

Speaker 11 (26:28):
Well a lot of times, you know, it's it's a
give and take with the developer themselves. You know what
they're willing to do. And then all the other thing
is is like to designate something historic, it has to
have local value. Sure, it has to have state value,
or has to have federal value.

Speaker 4 (26:44):
Right, So.

Speaker 11 (26:46):
To have state value to get it really designated something
like it's almost you know, it's really really hard. And
locally you have to have the owner's permission. So yeah,
like if they don't want nothing to do with that
can happen. And then if the ownership changes, the same
thing happens. So that's why they do try to designate
whole historic districts, right, so they kind of takes a

(27:09):
little bit of the power away from them, but that's
that has to be voted onto. Wow, it's like a
special Tact district or anyways, Like everybody has great ideas
on how to save our history and our art and
all that stuff, and the best way to do it
is to get on these commissions. So where they are
trying to start a new art district downtown, I think

(27:31):
cultural area. I'm totally for all that kind of stuff.
So we'll see what we're getting into. But the only
thing was is that I noticed on the agenda there
was no more history. So like that's what happens since
we're art and historic. But like the artists tend to
get a lot of attention in the history doesn't get

(27:51):
as much. So that's what I like to insert our
history a little bit more, because all artists history, every
single piece of artist history, every single piece, because as
soon as it's created, it becomes historical. So you cannot
have art without history, please listen, okay. And it gives
history a background and a spot and a place to

(28:15):
stay where it has importance. Whereas you have a commission
with just historians, they never meet for two years or something,
so you know, in a sense like there there is,
there is positive to being mixed with the artists. So
we're working together on this and that's that's I'm glad
a true historian artist is going to be on there now.
So that's just that and everything else has been going good. Now, Uh,

(28:42):
did you did you get a chance to meet with
the team from downtown And they're oh, what's the oh stronger, yeah,
stronger together now, but but what's the pulse? The Pulse?
Did you get to see the Pulse yet or the Yeah,
they have a new space downtown called Pulse and an
alley way right next to them. That's gonna be cultural.

(29:05):
I went on down at all. So mister so, mister King,
that was my that was me my fault. Like I
seen what they're doing with the kids, and I'm like,
the pals gotta see this. Like they have a way
to they have a way of doing things that our

(29:28):
kids need. It's like personal to me and I've watched
them grow and really care and it's been a while.
So like, those are the type of people I'm willing
to introduce to to good people because you know, they
deserve help. We all deserve help out there. It's gonna
be rough times coming up. And if you if you

(29:49):
can help somebody, do it, do it. Now's the time
to help that organization that that boy scouts, the local church,
whatever you need to do. Maybe just get involved a
little bit more because right now there's not extra money
to hire somebody new or give somebody more hours, so

(30:14):
that volunteer stuff might actually save a church or a
food or a food bank. That's another thing I wanted
to talk to you about, the food bank situation. Stuff.
That's scary stuff too. We'll get into but before we
get into that, we please introduce yourself and tell us
a little bit about the pubs.

Speaker 12 (30:31):
Yeah, for sure. Thank you Ferrontosier retired Army's arm for
his class and the new thank you for your service. Yeah, thanks,
thank you for playing your Texas.

Speaker 11 (30:40):
Who said who you were talking to.

Speaker 12 (30:45):
Contributes to my retirement plan. But yeah, the the new
co owner of the Intern Empire Hounds, which is an
American Basketball Association team. This year's season, so last year's season,
Let's put it this way. Last year they ended up
being number ten out of one hundred and fifty teams.

(31:06):
And so when I took over the team last year,
mid season ended with seventeen and three, number ten spot.
And so when I brought the team to my partners,
I'm like, hey, let's take this team and keep the
system going. Like they did really good last year. So
this year we're going to keep them in season. My owners,

(31:26):
they wanted to colden, just wanted to sit out for
the season, But I'm like, it such a great track
record last year, Let's keep that momentum.

Speaker 11 (31:33):
Hounding for the ball or hounding for the pubs.

Speaker 12 (31:37):
No, so a little bit of both. Yeah. So that
the reason why I'm here today is because one of
the campaigns that we're bringing to Samandino County is called
for the Love of Dogs, and that campaign that sparked
personally for myself, my female boxer, Daisy, had for fourteen
years and I had to put her down.

Speaker 11 (31:57):
I'd like to dedicate this show today's.

Speaker 12 (32:00):
Yeah, thank you. And so I never I didn't deal
with that grief right because my dad passed in nineteen,
my grandfather passed in twenty and then my dog in
twenty twenty two. So I've been in a lot of
grief places. So I just cremated her and you know,
gave a little section in the house. But as I
was talking to my partner, doctor Bonds, we both end

(32:20):
up having a conversation about grieving for my dogs, his
dog of seventeen years, and so I'm like, look, we
own the Hounds. The mascot is a dog, I mean
a dog. Why don't we create this campaign and so
Birth for the Love Dogs. So we're looking for organizations
from dog breeders up to the grief counselors for pet
owners and all that in between to come out and

(32:42):
support us. We're going to pick a couple of nonprofits
that I've talked to that we're going to help them
figure out what they need and then have some donations
come to them. And so it's pretty much a hand
in handful. We get to chase the championship for the ABA,
but also have some community engagement and help the pups.
For sure, there's such a huge crisis across the country.

(33:02):
It's not just California of fosters and food and uh
Spade and Newter prices are gone. Just like everything for
the dogs.

Speaker 11 (33:12):
If it's gone up for your family, it's gone up
for the pups too.

Speaker 12 (33:15):
Yeah, so we're looking for companies to brand with us.
You know, we're said we're the new owner. So I
look for people to brand with us, give them some
airtime on our show, interview with them, and again contribute
to some of these organizations.

Speaker 11 (33:28):
Have you had a chance to speak to Jemine Nelson
or als Child? No, under the few people that run rescues,
I know, what about kiddies?

Speaker 12 (33:39):
Yeah, So so here's the deal. So I'm definitely gonna
incorporate the kiddies, right because in my mind, when I
grew up, I'm fifty five, No, lie, cats and dogs
didn't interact with each other. So I want to know,
how do people get the dog and a cat to
hang out together. That's that's a unique situation.

Speaker 11 (33:57):
You bring the young ones, the young kittens in with
the pup.

Speaker 12 (34:01):
And then like because because my, my, my, my dogs,
that would have been somebody's lunch, Like.

Speaker 11 (34:10):
Like our dog Dottie actually like humps the kitty.

Speaker 12 (34:14):
Yeah, that's what dominated.

Speaker 11 (34:17):
But it's total love. You could see. It's like they're
in love with each other. It's male and female and
male cat.

Speaker 12 (34:22):
And I don't know how people do that. So that's
how I'm going to ease the cat into the conversation.
Because people have their dogs and cats together.

Speaker 11 (34:30):
These conversations when I can talk about you know, like
not in my.

Speaker 12 (34:34):
Not in my era, they did not share the same space.

Speaker 11 (34:37):
Bro. Maybe it's a new time.

Speaker 12 (34:41):
We don't find out.

Speaker 11 (34:42):
We're progressive nation. Even with our pups. Many they've gone
from you know, pulling sleds to like ordering off of
our you know, Alexa or whatever.

Speaker 10 (34:54):
So we have.

Speaker 12 (34:55):
If you go to I Hounds dot com, uh, there's
a tap that says campaigns for the Love of Dogs
campaign is there? Uh? My reason? My other reason for
my why is my sickle cell trade awareness a collapse
in the military from sickle cell trade exertion with Radomlosi's Uh.
If you've seen in sports, a lot of athletes and
military have died and collapsed from that.

Speaker 11 (35:19):
It's your blood cell is like shaped like a crescent
and it cannot absorb oxygen.

Speaker 12 (35:25):
Well, yeah, so I have I have one normal right exactly,
exactly so, and in that part of the world is
a totally different conversation in that part of the world
because of malaria's being present.

Speaker 11 (35:37):
Because malaria could take your life much quicker than me.
This is it's really interesting stuff. Now is there is
some research in changing stem cells that possibly create Yeah.

Speaker 12 (35:49):
So you know, there's a lot of things going on
around sickle cell these days, and one of those are
stem cell transplants, which is helping some people who can
afford it. I'm I'm only a carrier, so I'm not
supposed to have a problem.

Speaker 11 (36:03):
You only have the trade.

Speaker 12 (36:04):
Yeah, I'm so. So as a single cell trade carrier,
we people have been told for years that single trade
is you should have no complications, no problems, only make
sure you don't make another person because wrong the systems.

Speaker 11 (36:17):
So yes, So that's part of.

Speaker 12 (36:18):
My campaign is sickle cell trade is not benign.

Speaker 11 (36:21):
They've been saying that forever. Why I can remember hearing
that anthropologically like yeah, yeah, actually more more gata.

Speaker 12 (36:30):
There are there are some complications because we have that
one defective gene.

Speaker 11 (36:34):
Is it possible to under your the your your blood
have some of them?

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Still?

Speaker 12 (36:39):
Yeah, that's that's what happened to me. When I exerted
during the two mile run, those forty percent of my
red blood cells, which is sickle cell trade genes, those mutated,
so I lost forty percent oxygen which triggers the rap dough.
So the rap doough is a skelet your muscle disorder.
Anybody can get raped though, So my trade triggered the
rap dough, which led to all the toxins and the

(36:59):
muscles to leak into the bus stream hit the kidneys,
so you have renal failure and then you die cases. Yeah,
that's what I'm saying. So worst cases we have athletes
in military had the cardiac arrest because of the either
the combination of the single so trade and the rapdough
or just rap.

Speaker 11 (37:19):
So the fact that you could create your your majority
of yourselves are regular. Maybe there's something in that to
help others that have a majority of them, Like for
some reason you're a majority of regular maybe they can
increase that you and then help others.

Speaker 12 (37:34):
Well you're again, well no, I mean again, you're talking
about DNA, so that that's that's that's from the gene,
that's the defective gene.

Speaker 11 (37:41):
So you're because it happened before with anyone that you
know that.

Speaker 12 (37:44):
Oh yeah, I've met I've met hundreds of people. Now
I've been at it for fifteen years as an advocate.

Speaker 11 (37:50):
So and that's why you've started this organization.

Speaker 12 (37:52):
Yeah, So I bought the ABA team. I have three teams. Actually,
I have the Eyehounds, we have the Riverside County Mavericks.
We're gonna lunch to next year. And then the first
team I own was the Ventura County Orcast. And my
why was again with sickle Cell. I heard my community say, well,
you know, the NFL they do pink for the for
breast cancer and all these other organizations, but nothing was

(38:14):
for sickle Cell. So I'm like, you know, if I
ever got a chance on my own platform, then I'll
do it myself. And so as an opportunity came to
own a basketball team, I'm like, yeah, I want to
have this platform to talk about sickle cell trade, to
talk about veterans, suicide, youth suicide, all the things that
I experienced from growing up until today. And so again

(38:34):
that's why the for the Love of Dogs is in there.

Speaker 11 (38:36):
But yeah, the platform is for travel that roade myself
and it sucks. Yeah, suicide is new joking.

Speaker 12 (38:43):
Oh yeah, So when you when you talk about that,
I mean, I know what that feels like, tastes like.
And I had to go back and do you know,
challenge the first forty years of my life because of
what my subconscious mind had created, all these stories that
just it was my truth. But it is in the truth.
So when you look at men and what we talk
about suffering in silence, hey, there's actually there's actually education,

(39:06):
there's actually biblical conversation.

Speaker 11 (39:09):
You're at the right show always talking about how men
sometimes just ignore their own selves.

Speaker 12 (39:16):
So the fact the biggest fracture around yeah, women too. Yeah,
it's a human being flawed, right, So the biggest fracture
that we noticed that we speak from, that I can
share from my own experience was at the end of
the day, we're human beings and we want to belong
and as soon as that fracture is broken from your
sense of belonging, where it starts first is your parents.

(39:38):
When that fracture is broken with your mom and dad,
you turn to your peers for love and acceptance. And
then when that's fractures broken, then who are you as
a person? And if you don't have the skills or
you wasn't taught the ways of how to deal with
that coping mechanisms and principles to live from, then I'm
going to believe that my mind sets to survive. So

(39:58):
your subconscious mind is the design to keep us alive,
but it also keeps us sometimes stuck.

Speaker 11 (40:05):
And that's I was so abhorrent to any type of
counseling and stuff in the past. And then my dad's
suicide with this purple heart in his hand at the
Riverside National Cemetery occurred, and then a lot of people
suggested it. So I took a course at cal State
on to your course on self and really went through

(40:28):
myself as a person and learned that, you know, I
have a lot of trauma that I had to work.

Speaker 12 (40:35):
And it works if we tell the truth and create
the space, no one escapes it. No one escapes it.
But again, you have to be able to tell the
truth to yourself first. And a lot of times as men,
when we don't do it, we don't do that. But
why don't we do that?

Speaker 11 (40:50):
That's the way we raisedror, right, we're raised that way.

Speaker 12 (40:56):
But what's under for me, what was underneath my issue was,
of course we already fear of judgment. If I tell
you how I feel the way I'm dealing with, you're
not gonna like me. You know, you might not be
my friend no more. However, right, but however I prayed,
I it's the Holy Spirit. What is if? It's if
it's judgment that people are afraid of, what's more than

(41:19):
the judgment is slander. So if I tell you my
deepest secrets and you're my friend, and I tell you
my deepest secrets and you take that and you use
that against me, bro, So then I'm shutting down gossip.

Speaker 11 (41:33):
That's for me. That's why I I just talked to
this about politics with somebody who does similarly. Just always
tell the truth, because you get caught in your lines
if you don't. Right, So, if you always tell the truth,
you've never had to remembers.

Speaker 12 (41:49):
But as a broadcaster when I took broadcasting radio and
then I did TV and the radio and then TV broadcasting.
The radio Academy taught us that because I could take
your interview, I can interview you and take what you
said and chop it up and make you sound like

(42:09):
the worst person ever. And so I swore to myself
that I would not be that kind of broadcaster me either.

Speaker 11 (42:16):
That's why we keep it positive.

Speaker 12 (42:17):
But those are things that people can do to make
you look a certain way worse, it's even worse.

Speaker 11 (42:28):
I kind of have to segue into the next to
the next segment. But what would you like to leave
us with your final thought?

Speaker 12 (42:33):
Yeah, so again, being the co owner of the in
Empire Hounds, we're definitely looking for some support. We want
to give back as well. We have to pay bills,
so there is a financial piece that we're looking for
for businesses to bring with us, right so they can advertise,
have radio spots and interview and things like that. But
we're gonna return that back to the community in this
campaign for the love.

Speaker 11 (42:54):
Of dogs, and eventually kiddies are gonna get.

Speaker 12 (42:57):
Some right, so we're gonna have we have ten we
have ten games this season, we have six because we're
doing two tournaments, so we have six games that we're
gonna play out of Norton. And then so people can
come out, you can get tickets. I'm gonna give some
tickets away so people can come in and like I said,
with those organizations, they can have tickets to raffle or
sell to their community and then they can raise money

(43:18):
for those things and then just come and help us.
Support us.

Speaker 11 (43:21):
When when one of those years, I'll go to one
and I'll buy my own tickets.

Speaker 12 (43:24):
Yeah, no doubt. Righthounds dot Com.

Speaker 10 (43:29):
Support.

Speaker 11 (43:29):
Yeah, that's super awesome. Like when when I heard you're
helping the pubs, I'm like, man, that's you know that.

Speaker 12 (43:38):
Actually I don't. I don't have the heart to on
another one yet. So they told me just take your time. Yeah,
that's like having a child.

Speaker 10 (43:47):
I Gonauer just got them.

Speaker 11 (43:51):
Yeah, that's well as into Snauzer, mister, and tell us
a little bit about yourself.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
So I with Pow Charter Academy and Pouse Center and
we're charter school in Muscow.

Speaker 10 (44:07):
We had one Incember, do you know as well six
to twelve.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
As Roberts said, we just pour in, you know, a
lot of our kids in the community are struggling hard times. Yeah,
hard time about yeah, hard times, And so we get
parents coming in and a lot of our students have
to recover, you know, because they haven't recovered from COVID,
they haven't recovered from all the things that they go

(44:33):
through in life just in general. So we have a
unique and incredible team that we just pour in and
hope for the best, for this child to be better.
And so last year we had nineteen kids go to college.
We graduated sixty seven. He came to the graduation c
That was cool.

Speaker 10 (44:52):
Which is cool.

Speaker 11 (44:53):
This is Cadre out there. We had a good time. Yeah,
I met it cool, a lot of really cool people
that didn't know a people I didn't know, but a
lot of people didn't so was it. It was a
fun time. Those kids smart.

Speaker 10 (45:06):
Yeah, we got a good group.

Speaker 11 (45:07):
Yeah, they're gonna a lot of them are going to college.

Speaker 10 (45:10):
Yeah, nineteen went to college. Yeah, I was like the joy.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
That's a record for our school. You know, we've been
around for twenty five years. Underneath somebody Unified School District
has a charter school, longest operating charter school and the longest.

Speaker 10 (45:27):
Afro American Charter School.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
Our founder, doctor Mildred Henry, who has an elementary named
after her.

Speaker 10 (45:32):
She's ninety two and still going strong. Wow.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
Yeah, so I talked to her almost every day. But
the thing about now is dealing.

Speaker 10 (45:40):
With these safe having schools.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
Our kids are scared of the count. We're seventy eight
percent Hispanic. So with these things are going on with
Trump and the things that get you know, with the immigration,
parents and students are afraid.

Speaker 12 (45:55):
You know.

Speaker 10 (45:56):
One of the things for us where.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
We meet them at the gate, right. So we have
multiple programs. So we have an independent one where kids
can come to school. We have an independent two where
kids can come two days a week. We have a
virtual academy, we have adults.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
We have it.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Just you gotta come out. It's really incredible. We have
a CT program bar on.

Speaker 11 (46:15):
A motive radio weight training, state of the art football field.

Speaker 10 (46:22):
He's hitting those yea yeah, state of the art, yeah,
six through twelve, six through twelve.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
Yeah. And you know, so we're always looking for people
to help us too, just like you are. But yeah,
you know we only we're strungnger together. Yeah, right, And
I think if we come to that point, like when
Robin and I got together and he's just constantly pouring in.

Speaker 10 (46:43):
I look up and there's Robert and his mom. You
know what I mean. They're at every event.

Speaker 8 (46:48):
You know.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
We're building a garden for the kids, Kevin is, Yeah,
so we're gonna have sustainable ability kids.

Speaker 11 (46:55):
Kevin had a guy who did the Cooma community. It's
also with the Loma Linden Garden of Health on Third Street.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
Yeah, he's incredible. He's got a green thumb. I go
over to the Cooma they got Oh my god, this
guy is incredible.

Speaker 11 (47:10):
So, you know, greens are really easy to grow. So
we get a lot of greens. But what about you
over there? Like, like, weren't you supposed to grow some tomatoes? Tomatoes?

Speaker 10 (47:22):
I told I got you.

Speaker 11 (47:24):
Yeah, yeah, you got on my phone.

Speaker 10 (47:27):
What I got you?

Speaker 4 (47:27):
I told you.

Speaker 11 (47:28):
You know what I had to do to get I
had a little change phone.

Speaker 10 (47:32):
We've struggling. I get it, and that was I'm still
doing with the hell yeah, but I did it for you.

Speaker 12 (47:38):
You did ask me that. So now I want to
find out how was this. I know, schools just starting
back right, yeah, we start back next week next week.

Speaker 10 (47:51):
Yeah, so the teachers came back today.

Speaker 12 (47:53):
All those the Hispanic community.

Speaker 10 (47:56):
It's a struggle, right. We've had ice come down to
the dead end.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
We're at a dead end street and they came down
and tried to get on our campus and our staff
was smart enough to say no, you can't, you can't
come use our restaurom and so they laugh, you know.

Speaker 10 (48:10):
So there's a fear.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
They've been in the neighborhood, right, muscoy is predominantly Hispanic,
and so they target those areas. And when they target
those areas, they target us. We've been there for forty
plus years, so Muscoey knows us, right, and they trust us.

Speaker 11 (48:25):
This policy here is also I mean it's more than
just for that. Like you wouldn't want an estranged husband
or something, you know, you want a safe environment for
all the kids at all times, right, So what you're
doing is just providing that for them in general. Yeah,
And that's what every very good school should do.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
And they should, right. And we're a safe Havor school.
So you see us on the two fifteen billboard.

Speaker 10 (48:51):
That's us up there. From Sam Maul Radio nine United KGGI.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
We talk about being a safe having school because parents
and students need to know they can come to school
and not be afraid to learn. And we live in
We live in America, right. If you go back, that
happened back in slavery days. Kids couldn't learn, couldn't read
and write, they were punished. And that's what's happening against exactly.

Speaker 12 (49:16):
And that's where we've fracture of the sensible longing that
I'm talking about. If that's broken, Bro, it's broken, it's
gonna it's gonna hurt the next generation of that community.

Speaker 10 (49:25):
And they know that. And so sometimes things that we
do is target it. And you just got to pay attention.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
It's written on a wall to d I all the
things that are being gone in our community to make
our students better, right and give them a chance to
succeed in America.

Speaker 11 (49:41):
And it's being attacked and you're at least you're putting
up your shield, yeah, because this is this is a
rough time for everybody, especially to move like NPR and BBS.

Speaker 10 (49:54):
But you're going up to my you know, his dream
of my gosh, but let me tell you works. Our
enrollment is I believe it or not. At this time
last year we had half the numbers.

Speaker 11 (50:06):
So we're approaching two hundred and still going congratulations.

Speaker 12 (50:11):
Yeah, you have that trust factor.

Speaker 10 (50:13):
We built it. You know, it wasn't me. It was
the legacy of doctor Henry. She gave us a wall
foundation and we live off that.

Speaker 11 (50:22):
But you're yeah, this guy like he talks everybody, goes
do every event everywhere, and like he lost his film
the other day, and I think that must.

Speaker 10 (50:36):
I didn't. It's at the bottom of you lost it
like that.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
Yeah, so I got so we let's talk about this
downs or so romy was scared, right, So I'm on
my boat and I'm trying to grab Romie and I'm
reaching for him, and so what iPhone if you get
it quick? Yeah, yeah, I couldn't get it, so the
fish must to get so I don't know.

Speaker 10 (51:01):
Yeah, so they wait to find it.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
But so when I transferred everything over, it came only numbers,
no names.

Speaker 10 (51:12):
So every time you called me, yeah, yeah, yeah, text me,
I'm trying to figure out yeah, oh no, it's just
a struggle.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
But getting back to the school, man, we're incredible. We
got an incredible school going on. I think everybody needs
to come out and see we're probably the best kept
secreted Musco right right at the end, of the road
Robert told you about.

Speaker 10 (51:36):
Yeah, we we have a cheft. She yeah, she makes
the food fresh and.

Speaker 11 (51:42):
We're hoping from farm to table.

Speaker 10 (51:46):
Working at that farm. She's the real deal. And we've
got sports c I we talked about.

Speaker 11 (51:52):
I wanted to talk about the food. Then what happened then?

Speaker 2 (51:57):
So, okay, it's been fixed, but I want to tell
it because it was real to me. So last week
I get a call from a program called CAPS and
they were saying that certain schools and certain churches would
be the USDA would stop. And that means our community
is hungry. Right we f fifty thousand during COVID a month. Yeah,

(52:19):
so you can tell. So when that happened, I got
a call and they were like, oh, you guys are
part of that group. And I'm like why because we've
been in Muscow? Why would you give it to other
people in Muscow and not us? And we've been there
for forty plus years, right, And I could not They couldn't.

Speaker 10 (52:36):
Give me the reason.

Speaker 2 (52:39):
That Yeah, it's beautifulact he's talking about right, everybody knows
where it's at, and why would you take it? And
so for me, if you punch me, I'm a punch back, right,
and I punched back through the pen social media with
the work people heard, and in a day that Friday,
last Friday, I got a phone call.

Speaker 12 (53:00):
Fixed it.

Speaker 10 (53:00):
They fixed it.

Speaker 11 (53:03):
We appreciate.

Speaker 4 (53:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
So USDA is back in Moscow, so families can eat.
We use it for more than we feed the community.

Speaker 10 (53:11):
We have a feast. We feed the community free of charge.
They come in, they listen to music.

Speaker 11 (53:17):
My family survived off of that food quite a few times. Man,
So it's important to have these options for people. And
they can't feel their friends.

Speaker 10 (53:26):
Yeah, absolutely, and they come anyway. They can baskets walking. Yeah,
it's pretty when you come down there on the kids.

Speaker 11 (53:34):
Yeah, you're in school and then the elders. I worked
at a food bank for like a year and it
was amazing, Like I would see people that I just
see in the community that they just had a hard
time that month.

Speaker 10 (53:48):
Well, Copa was the same way we've seen.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
We've seen people pulling up and Mercedes Benz trying to
get food.

Speaker 10 (53:54):
At the end of the day. Food and security is
still real.

Speaker 12 (53:58):
It's real Maslow's chart, right. But I don't want to
get I'm not religious, but definitely I have a relationship
with Christ. But that conversation is in the Bible. Really
seeky first. All that other stuff will.

Speaker 10 (54:11):
Be added to you.

Speaker 12 (54:12):
You got to be a absolutely have some faith in that.
But having that food bank is the plus. Just to
have that faith, be able to go there and.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
Get that food. That's beautiful and we use it for
the kids. They you know, our kids need to get
volunteer hours so they and they learn. They don't realize
how good they have, italize what they don't have. And
going out there to handle box is somebody who's got
a baby carriage and giving that they learned a lessons.

Speaker 12 (54:37):
So I relate to you to that because when I
retired in thirteen, I had my depression, anxiety, suicide, idiation
and all that. But I joined up with the vet
hunters and they did or we did search and rescue
for home as veterans, not in the freeway, but like
off the washes in the mountain areas where people don't
go off the record, right And so when you so,
when you see that and you think that your life

(54:58):
is real, I was like, okay, God, I got you,
Like I ain't. I ain't as bad as I thought
I was.

Speaker 10 (55:03):
That's exactly right.

Speaker 12 (55:04):
And so I, like I said, I appreciate you saying
that because that is so important for people to understand that.
You know, we say that we're a paycheck away from
being homeless and not have any food. But that is
a real life.

Speaker 10 (55:15):
That's real. Yeah, that's real.

Speaker 12 (55:17):
That's a real life conversation center.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
Has been there forever the community. I mean, you can't
go into Muscow and not know where poll center is.
Where the street.

Speaker 11 (55:27):
At Easter time there was so many eggs, kids eggs
in their buckets and yeah, we try.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
To bring things that kids will miss, like the Eastern
We have a Halloween uh bent coming up in October.

Speaker 11 (55:42):
What are you? What are you dressing up as?

Speaker 10 (55:47):
I'm not, but I cutting.

Speaker 12 (55:56):
I would definitely like to figure out one of the
one of the part of this HOW platform and the
other teams that we have is to the curriculum that
we have for personal development and the most intelligence I
teach that for fourth and fifth grades and middle school
students right now and contracting Palmdal in La before is
to have our players take these courses so we can

(56:17):
heal our men.

Speaker 11 (56:21):
As in dealing with each other on a field.

Speaker 12 (56:24):
Well, yeah, because see most people. We worry about interpersonal relationships.
We come from interpersonal relationships. You gotta be you gotta
be okay with yourself first before we can give yourself away.

Speaker 2 (56:36):
So as you speak to that we have saving our
sons and saving our daughters. It's a group of men
coming in the media school.

Speaker 10 (56:43):
We bring in guests to speak. We there, we show
them the best side, the worst side. We there and
and kids realize that they can be better like a.

Speaker 11 (56:52):
Kind of like a career.

Speaker 12 (56:55):
Every every other we we we we have we have
to have a space where the child can share what's
on their heart because as parents, we disappoint our children
and we forget that we were children, ourselves, how we
grew up, and so to re establish that relationship for

(57:15):
that child's heart to remain in that family, to that
mom and dad. You can't have the mindset of this
is a one way conversation you have. I have three
daughters and three grandchildren.

Speaker 11 (57:28):
I know he always gets to say it, but but
I had to do that work.

Speaker 12 (57:31):
I'm telling you from life, like my own work. But
doing this at forty years old. Why do we have
to wait till we're forty in our thirties and forties
when you can teach this to eight year olds.

Speaker 10 (57:40):
This is why saving our sons with that's why it
was there gives.

Speaker 2 (57:49):
No exactly these kids being successful hopefully coming back to
the community.

Speaker 12 (57:55):
To charity is not just money.

Speaker 10 (57:57):
It's your time, exactly.

Speaker 12 (57:58):
Time.

Speaker 11 (58:00):
Your children.

Speaker 12 (58:01):
All they want is your time.

Speaker 10 (58:03):
That's it.

Speaker 12 (58:03):
I don't care about money, and they need it. That's
what I'm saying. We gotta restore that.

Speaker 2 (58:08):
I tell you nothing, nothing, anyes, nothing out. So don't
expect your son to be more if you didn't give
him nothing to aid.

Speaker 11 (58:14):
Yep, that point so love that.

Speaker 10 (58:17):
I want to tell you this great story.

Speaker 2 (58:18):

Valley right to see the pharmaceutical program. This is how
your tentacles stretch throughout the community. We walk in the door,
