Once again, 833-212-1017 is the number to dial.
833-212-1017 is the number to dial, y'all.
So moving on to a more serious note.
Last night in Milwaukee, we had some shootings and Milwaukee police responded to two separate unrelated fatal shootings on Monday afternoon.
August 17th, that together left three people total dead.
First, just after 3.15 p.m.
on the south side, a 44-year-old victim was shot and killed in what police described
as a road rage incident.
An 18-year-old woman was arrested.
Charges will be referred to Milwaukee County DA's office.
Second, around 3.40 p.m., not even too long after actually, just about 15, 25 minutes later, near 31st Street and Cameron Avenue,
On the north side, a 33 year old victim and a second unidentified victim were both found with faith fatal gunshot wounds near a warehouse.
A 28 year old suspect was arrested.
Charges are pending DA review.
MPD has explicitly stated these two incidents are not connected to one another, despite happening within the same 30 minute window.
Two arrests within hours in both cases is a genuinely fast clearance rate.
That's worth acknowledging alongside the loss of funny money.
I saw a lot of people was talking about it.
All right, let's run that video.
one of the victims as a Milwaukee rapper.
The scene unfolded this afternoon inside a building near 31st in Cameron.
12 news.
Jasmine Franklin is live on the big story here at 10 Jasmine.
It was certainly at a very emotional scene there tonight.
the scene were screaming and crying for several hours this afternoon.
Family members identifying the victim killed as a Milwaukee rapper who goes by the name funny money.
His family tells me he was on his way to the studio to record new music when his life was cut short.
An emotional and chaotic scene near 31st in Cameron Monday.
My little brother, I just called and talked to him yesterday.
two people found shot and killed inside a building.
One victim identified by loved ones as a Milwaukee rapper who goes by funny money.
His sister shared this photo with 12 news.
Crime scene tape spans several blocks on Monday for more than four hours.
The rapper's family did not want to share his real name with 12 news, but say he was heading to record music at a studio nearby.
My
brother was a funny person.
He a rapper.
The situation that happened.
I don't know what happened.
I'm just.
The last thing I said to my uncle was I love him be safe.
He said
I'm always safe and I was about it.
News chopper 12 exclusively capturing the scene from above.
You can see detective standing in front of it.
There is a couple of evidence technician vans here as well.
We saw a group of them walk down.
to Lincoln Creek.
They were looking down over the edge.
There's still a couple of officers there and then they came with a plastic bag and a brown bag and they carried that back to one of the vehicles here.
Detectives not revealing a motive or what may have led up to the shooting, but they did arrest a 28 year old news chopper 12 there as police took photographs of a man in handcuffs.
And Jasmine back with us now.
Do we know anything about the second victim killed?
So police say there were two victims, a 33 year old and the other victim has not been identified.
Now family members of Funny Money say he may have been heading to the studio with a music producer at the time of the shooting all unfolding.
You know what I mean?
Like it's just to the point like We have to find better ways to resolve issues we have to find better ways to like Carry ourselves, you know I'm saying like It's just unfortunate like even with the roll rate incident like an 18 year old just I mean in a roll rage incident like how angry are you like in
You just killed something like it's just sad because like one of my nieces says she was driving and like some like they'll cut you off and up a pistol on you like you went You went my way.
What did I do?
And in the second situation, it's like we continue to lose so much talent in Wisconsin and Milwaukee specifically.
Like it's super unfortunate how many artists that were up and coming have lost their lives in the city of Milwaukee that like are doing things with the city for the city that are well known like that lose their lives.
Like it's just it's super unfortunate and it's it's a tell us all this time.
It's this at this point.
I'm just sick of hearing the same stories and history repeated itself like we ought to do better.
But sick of saying that too.
I think I think, you know, well, for sure what I do know is it hit his family and the Milwaukee music community super hard because I saw it all over my timeline.
So I know this person had an impact in the music culture here in Milwaukee.
And it prompted me to go check out some of the stuff I might not have heard.
And Boss was sliding on these records.
He was really sliding on these records and I do think it's sad that a lot of promising futures get cut short by either
the act of violence or, you know, participating in violence or certain crimes or decisions, right?
Just bad decisions regardless, right?
From what I saw on my timeline, this isn't anything reported from what I saw somebody state.
And I would say this person is very credible.
you know, somebody I would take their word if they said something.
But it sounded like funny money was trying to diffuse a situation and got caught in the middle of it.
Sounds like he was trying to mediate or, you know, or get in between something
you
And unfortunately, it sounded like he lost his life due to that.
And we'll wait to confirm exactly what the actual story is.
But I think this person is very credible that made that post.
So we'll see.
We'll see how that comes.
Anything you want to add to that before you take us to break, Shannon?
Um, no, not really other than like, I just condolences to the family and the friends because like you said, obviously a lot of people are hurting behind this and it sounds like he was a really good dude.
Nothing but good things posted on my timeline.
So, um, yeah, we just, we got to figure out a way and Milwaukee for sure.
But we'll be right back after these messages don't go anywhere.
We'll be back at one on one seven the truth.
You're listening to the lunch break with Ray Nitty and maybe
Shannon.
What up?
What up?
What up?
Welcome back.
Welcome back.
Welcome back to the award-winning 1017, The Truth.
This is The Lunch Break Crew, live from the American Family Assurance Studios.
Ray Nitty, maybe Shannon.
DJ Brother Z holding us down with the production and sound.

I might have a little more before we get out this break as well.
So as we move on, as we move through the menu,
You know, I just want us to, you know, think about our choices.
Why I wanted you, I was excited.
I wish you could have stayed, Shannon, is because we shared yesterday we talked about like the toxic landfills and the toxic chemicals that have just been left in our neighborhoods, right?
And companies get to just walk away.
But we went into the data that showed how these toxins and chemicals impact people's behavior and the ability to make bad or good choices or how it impacted hyperactivity or stress.
You know what I mean?
So...
Yeah, so I would like for you to check that out.
I'm gonna send you some of that information.
We got Al online
that got
Here's the question.
Why is it when it comes to black people, they will shoot and kill over something that can be topped out.
They already know the consequences.
They are levered a whole house and kill everybody because I'm not no punk.
But when it comes to the white man who said he's going to do this and do that and make it a point, he's going to do it.
Now you're playing a bigger person and he's going to plan on apologizing.
How is it you afraid of the white man and you know the consequences and you won't do it.
But you know the consequences about your own people and hang and go through with the consequences and say, I go to Jeff to kill me at any way.
But when it comes to the white man, now
y'all
playing a bigger person.
So isn't you think is the white man better than your brother from another mother?
Because I know the white man is going to tell you to your face.
You ain't better than him.
So how is it?
You're 65 and a punk when it comes to the whitey who want to do everything to you.
But then when it comes to your brother from another mother and you two not to talk it out, cause you say, I ain't no punk.
You are levered a house.
You will kill everybody.
But when it comes to the white man, now all of a sudden you fight your God, giving you for gear, you going to talk it out.
What makes that white man consequences to make you second guess your choices and the same choice is no different.
in the black one, and I'll hang up and listen, because I know this is gonna be rich, because hold, keep in mind y'all, the white men got guns, and some of y'all got switches, RPGs, missiles and all that, but y'all play pick the hell up when it comes to the white men, and he laughs about it.
So you help me understand that y'all, I'll hang up and listen.
Yeah.
The question is, why are we ready to gun each other down?
Why are we ready to gun each other down?
But I ain't even gonna, I'm gonna give a more direct.
I ain't even gonna just say the white man, right?
I think Al is saying, and call back in and check me if I'm wrong, Al.
Why is George Zimmerman still walking around?
That's what I think Al's saying.
We so tough.
We quick to up and stand on business with everybody else, but George Zimmerman's still walking around.
We mad at everybody else.
I'm laying anything down, anything mess with me, anything go against what I believe in or with my morals.
I'm laying it down.
And I think Alice said, hey, when it's time for us to be on the front line, we tuck our tail.
I feel like the answer to that might be the same reason why you see people of, because it's not always just even white people, when non-black people be aggressive with black people, or when you see them buck up at us for no reason, it's like, dude, why do you feel like you could do that?
Or when you feel like, when you see them treat our lives like it don't matter, because subconsciously they know that
The law will be on their side when it comes to harming black people black and brown people That's what I think and subconsciously like we hold less value And I think we internalize that and we think that about ourselves too like our lives don't matter to each other and It don't matter to them.
Honestly, that's what I think and then there's a little part of that too that may to me like
A scary person is a dangerous person.
You know what I'm saying?
Because like, you see all the time, like, people that actually will power and people know that what they can do, they don't be walking around like, I got switches and I'm gonna, if you look at me like, don't people be scary to me?
Like, it's like, most people that know their strength and know what they're capable of, they really do have a calmness about them and they know how to like, you know what, I'm gonna try to talk you down before I really have to act up.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, most people...
that actually will some type of power.
They not quick to do stupid stuff because number one, they got stuff to lose and number two, they know what they capable of.
So
Hey, how's it going y'all?
Well, I believe that Alan Shannon hit the nail on the head and it's called as burgers central and what we have to do is go all the way back to the beginning Where we were kidnapped and brought here and then look at the present as well We need to stop talking about each other first of all
Everywhere in social media you hear black men and women of dating and mating and childbearing age Complaining about each other and you don't hear that from anyone else but us and it is on platforms where people who don't look like us get rich a Good example of this as well is whenever somebody black is charged with something now You won't hear anything about these
fraternity people on our local news or on many platforms.
But every week and sometimes several times a week, you're going to hear what Black kids did at State Fair, where you won't hear about all of the Black kids who graduated from MPS that went to college this week and last week.
And I'm always challenging you guys and everybody on this station
to pay more attention to the good kids.
And what Shannon said about people being scary, that is the American way.
America was started by a riot.
So why would not people who saw January 6 when they were 12 create that same scene at state fair?
But nobody talks about that.
You know, it is the American way to riot.
That's how this country was started.
Everybody in America and around the world saw January 6th, yet I hear a white man on your station today talking about black people not being able to procreate based on the children that behave at state fair, which is ridiculous.
And unless you're going to say all the January 6th rioters should no longer be able to procreate, which we all know that, you know, if you ever listen to Sherwin,
less population means less money for empires like America and China.
So there's no way that's why a women's rights to choose were canceled out because the more population they have, the more people like we're talking about, they can lock up and get our tax money for.
So violence is the American way.
And I want us to stop owning violence and negativity and including people who are scary with switches.
as part of us.
They are not part of us.
And other races do denounce those people and do not allow other people to make that the narrative about our young people.
And so I'm challenging you guys to continue doing what you do to make sure that you make it really clear that 90% of our kids were not at state fair acting a
But we can we can get back into that just because like when I gather my thoughts before I speak on it.
But I think what he said is actually.
Very refreshing and in that challenge should be accepted.
But yeah, we'll be right back after these messages Don't go anywhere.
We're gonna head off to break your listening to the lunch break on 1017 the truth with Ray nitty and maybe Shannon the award-winning 1017 the truth.

That was good What's
Hello.
where I fit in.
Call me Columbus.
When
I just heard her describe a quick weave and I was just like amazed like at the like
You know what?
She literally is like I have my hair braided down in a protective style and they glued the extensions on top and the ladies like oh my god wow this is a new way to do I'm like you mean a good
Willy Wonka, Shannon.
what
Willy Wonka copied me?
You gotta double
colonizer.
I'm learning.
What
you mean Willy Wonka came out
1960s?
How dare they?
Sounds just about right.
talking about.
They work for food is crazy.
In 1964, first edition of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Opa Lumpas were explicitly described as a tribe of 3,000 miniature pygmies whom Willy Wonka imported directly from Africa.
Wonka housed them in his factory and paid them in cocoa beans, which drew widespread criticism from mirroring plantation slavery and colonial exploitation.
you take
how do you take me?
I didn't want to leave, bro.
ain't ask for no cocoa beans, I want it to stay
tea.
Damn,
I
You're
cocoa beans.
Yeah, before break.
You want to recap what we talked about a little bit before a break?
I wanted to bring us back.
Okay.
So the last caller kind of, um, talked about Al's call and Al's call, he brought up why we treat each other so badly and why we're so quick to buck at each other, but we don't.
We cower when in the face of others, right?
And I believe the last caller, he made a good.
Point by saying like our news outlets and our social media content highlights the worst of our communities and makes us feel like oh, okay We're the only ones doing this stuff and I think that's so true because as somebody that being everybody business That's why I'm being a know-how all this stuff.
I don't care what you look like.
I want to know what y'all doing over there
Call me Karen.
What y'all got going on in there?
Matter of fact, I'm gonna be mooring your business because you don't look like me and I wanna know what is y'all doing over there?
I need to know.
That's how you learn and grow.
Listen.
So I like to know what other people got going on and like when you see TMZ when you see all of these like stories and stuff a lot of times they do have a better way of like they'll report it and they'll move on and then they'll highlight the best of the best like it's almost like one of those situations where when you think of it as like a They want to preserve the glamour of their society but we highlight the worst of ours
You get what I mean?
Because the same stuff be happening in their households.
The same ghetto mess be happening in their trailer parks.
It's genuinely be the same, but it's just the way it's reported on.
You don't see them, like, you know what I'm saying?
All their news outlets reporting on what's going on and the double wide.
But when it comes to our hood, that's all we're talking about when there's so much more happening.
For
real.
It's true that we highlight the worst of our community and I think we do need to make a more conscious decision to highlight the great things that are going on and the good that people are trying to do and we also like he said like you get people that get on these networks and get on these shows and they want to talk down about each other even that's why I was so triggered when that man called in and kind of
This miss this woman's like accolades.
Like it's like dude.
She like Talking great about what she's doing for her community and like all the good things.
She's done Why why was that so triggering for a black man to hear a black woman is doing well?
Like we should be highlighting that we should be uplifting that But you know Man, that's that's what I got.
That's just my Thoughts and opinions.
That's why I was like we can get into that after break because that show was gone Going on a tangent, but
didn't
quote
It says it's like talking about identity, right?
And it's all along the lines of like when individuals alter their self perception their actions choices and outcomes a naturally You know begin to shift to match that image and The quote I remember and it just made me think of the the timing the time frame that we're in the era that we're in right
And somebody said, Ray, what you munching on?
Peanut butter cookie.
But
But the concept is they basically say, show a man or show a community or people whatever image that you want them to become over and over and over again.
And eventually they become that.
So it's like.
We show our community images of us selling dope Robin killing, you know what I'm saying beating our women disrespecting our women Whatever the worst parts of us, right?
And we continuously embed that into our culture and then not even just showing it but putting it in music as well and now we're acting surprised
as to what the real life outcome is in our community.
And I'm like, we shouldn't be surprised.
We've perpetuated this narrative amongst ourselves.
We've taken that train to go narrative and, you know what I mean?
Everybody for themselves narrative and, you know, MOB, money over B, you know what I'm saying?
So it's like,
We have continuously showed ourselves and uplifted the worst parts of our society and culture and made and championed it so much that we now think it's cool to, to, to feed in, feed into these narratives and stereotypes.
So, um, yeah, that's what, um, when you were speaking it, I reminded me of that.
I think it's called the pit.
I don't know this word now.
Pygmalion?
Pygmalion?
Whatever that means.
But it is when you project a- P-Y-G-M-A-L-I-O-N.
All right?
So when you project a high-achieving, capable image onto someone, they internalize that expectation.
As a result, their self-esteem grows, they put it in more effect, and they ultimately achieve the very success you envisioned for them.
because
If you don't know better, you don't know better, right?
If you're only seeing this image, if you're only reading this book, that's why people be looking at me like,
You don't know all the black classics.
No, I've lived all the black I'm watching Lord of the Rings.
I'm watching I want to know what the Beverly Hillbillies is doing.
Okay,
like I'm like
Anything i'm doing because i'm like i'm watching vampire movies and stuff like that like i genuinely like to know like the backstories behind this type of stuff i like the creativity behind it and like i said even when it's just something that i'm not used to seeing like i've lived this already i like what what else is out there so i think it's very important even when it is like
Black movies and stuff is very important not to be watching the same thing over and over again, too Like let's watch something different with us in it.
You know I'm saying
I think
So you when people are only Watching the worst of us.
That's what they start to believe they can Be and it's important that we know we can be way more than what is being pushed on us and I also I don't
I don't believe that like, it's only like rap culture out there.
It's not only like, oh, yeah, you know, MLB, but what I do believe is like, that's what outsiders want us to see too.
Because you see in like, they're able, they're able to have these subcultures.
Like they're able to like, not only be seen as one thing, but for us, it's, oh, you just lack, so you must be this.
And we all know that's not true, but we'll get more into it after these messages.
We're gonna head off to break.
We'll be right back.
Don't go
anywhere.
y'all?

This story sounds like something straight out of a movie, okay?
A surrogate mother leaves Alaska, heads to Texas while pregnant, and ends up in the middle of a legal battle over who gets to raise the baby.
So this is what happened.
McKenna West is serving as a surrogate in California for a couple.
During the pregnancy, the doctors discovered that the baby has a heart syndrome, a serious, potentially life-threatening heart condition, actually.
Um, the attendant parents, they said that they discussed terminating the pregnancy after the diagnosis.
West says she was pressured to have an abortion, something that the couple denies.
She ultimately decided to continue the pregnancy, ran off to Texas where she gave birth on August 12th.
So
the
So
West wanted to keep the baby and has argued that the Texas law gives her parental rights because she gave birth there.
And the intended parents, however, they say their surrogacy agreement in California court ruling established that they are the baby's legal parents.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton also stepped into the case arguing that the new board...
newborn-needed, life-saving medical treatment, a Texas judge ordered that the baby receive that care.
The baby got two names at this point.
The parents are calling it Rumi.
The lady that ran away with it is calling it Gabriel.
He underwent a complicated heart surgery and is now in custody of his parents.
Wes has been restricted from seeing the baby so far.
That's what the New York Post is reporting.
And this is raising a huge question It's when a surrogate changes their mind about pregnancy, especially when they there are serious medical conditions or complications involved who gets to decide what happens to the baby So it's now not even just about abortion or surrogacy anymore.
It's about parental rights Contracts state law and who gets to the final say about a child's medical care.
We also have a clip for you guys
life-threatening heart defect they asked her to get an abortion But the surrogate said no and ran to Texas and now the attorney general is involved.
Let's get into it So hypo plastic left heart syndrome or HLHS is a condition where the left side of the heart never forms properly and without treatment a baby can die just hours or a few days after birth now standard treatment not always a cure and the treatment consists of three open heart surgeries starting with the Norwood procedure within days of the baby being born now even with the best care
Survival is still uncertain.
About 70% make it to age five, but that number drops to just 31% by age 35.
The oldest person to survive HLHS is in their 30s.
So for many parents, choosing abortion after this diagnosis is a medically sound decision.
And that's exactly what Intendant Parents Nishan Gilkar and Omar Ahmed had decided.
Now, their surrogate McKenna West signed a binding contract granting them full authority over fetal medical decisions.
And when they asked
her to terminate the pregnancy based on the HLHS diagnosis, she refused and fled to Texas where abortion is outlawed and is now using the state's restrictive laws to force the intended parents into a medical pathway that they never consented to.
Now, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxson has intervened.
Ken Paxson is demanding that hospitals perform these surgeries against the intended parents' explicit wishes.
He also wants to strip the intended parents of their parental rights and void the contractual agreement they made.
with the surrogate.
Now, McKenna-Wess surrogate is in a difficult position, right?
She doesn't wanna get an abortion and would rather the fetus have the surgeries, right?
However, some people are arguing that her wishes should not matter since she did enter into a clear legal agreement.
And her personal thoughts are now overriding what the intended parents see as a deeply considered evidence-based decision.
Now, the intended parents are seeking to have the fetus transported to California after birth.
So here's the question I want to ask y'all.
Should a surrogate's personal beliefs override a signed contract and the medical judgment of the intended parents, especially when the fetus has been diagnosed with a life-threatening heart condition?
Or does the person that's carrying the fetus have the final
That's not
Now it's super political and that that's exactly why she ran off to Texas But we'll be right back after these messages.
Don't forget to call us at 833-212-1017.
Make sure you join our chat.
We're at 1017 the truth on YouTube We got some comments to get to as well.
We got Robert Lance.
She's nuts, which I agree.
I do agree.
Why would you?
We can get into this after break Erin said it was good black people.
What's up?
What's up?
Erin is him
And then we got Aaron saying Guru and his personal troll.
Ray Nitty, maybe Shannon DJ, Brother Z holding us down with the production and sound.
833-212-1017.
833-212-1017.
That's the number to dial.
Shout out to Cousin Jasmine just joining us.
Hey, y'all, I got a two-hour break.
Lunch break.
Sorry,
Jasmine Jazz was.
Yes.
We're talking about that surrogate situation.
We just talked about how that Alaska woman ran off with the California people baby to Texas.
And there's a lot of talk online about who should be, I mean, who gets the baby because she wants to fight for the baby.
They called it a fetus after it was born.
That should tell you a lot of where they're coming from.
is there is their world where like, you know the The surrogate like the parents who were expecting to take ownership of the baby or raise the kid right not the birthing I know that sound crazy
It might be time to send this back to the kitchen.
But like, is there a word?
Because the people that were expecting it, they said they wanted her to abort the kid, right?
So we're like, that's an interesting conversation.
If they like, nah, we don't want to go ahead abort the baby.
And this person is like, nah, I'm not doing that.
I'll take care of the baby.
Is that not a conversation worth having or?
And this is just me asking a question because I think it's a very important one to ask and and quite frankly The most important thing I ain't even hearing none of them consider is like yo Like what's what's gonna happen with this kid?
You know what I mean?
Like God's God's willing on this kid grows up to be happy and healthy, you know
Like,
Yeah.
And then on top of that, like, I think the biggest issue is like the last reporter said was like this.
Whatever her condition it is.
I think it comes along with a lifetime of medical issues.
So I would think she'd be Responsible for the medical expenses personally like we could take our baby, but you you responsible like something needs to be I think the biggest issue here is that When it was a fetus that was determined that there are some medical issues and they wanted to abort and she took it upon herself to run off to Texas and
Deliver this baby that indeed like the doctor said needed a lot of medical attention and all these things So it is it said the seric Lucretia says the serigate is saying possession it nine-tenths of the loss of the baby is hers wait, what?
That's not like a football thing But um, yeah, so I think the biggest thing is
I see a lot of people saying, well, they didn't want it at first.
They shouldn't want it now.
And it's like, that is different when it's like a fetus.
Now the baby is here and that's our baby.
Let's do what we got to do.
So it's just a lot of back and forth and a lot of conversations coming from that.
And like, even with the legalities of it all, they said that it was in plain writing.
When you're a surrogate and I've seen a lot of videos like about actual surrogates, it's very plain and clear.
What you're signing is very plain and clear.
What you're expected to do is very clean and clear.
We are we are basically the ones that make these decisions So for her to run off like it does sound like she is mentally unstable like if you're gonna be a surrogate I You know, I feel like you you probably have to be ready for whatever situation arises.
Hmm Yeah, a three three two one two ten seventeen is the number to dial we'd like to know is she wrong for running off with the baby after
They said they wanted to abort it.
So she's like, no, I'm keeping it.
And then she probably went to this.
I don't think that was just random.
I think she picked Texas.
Oh no.
But she ran off on the plug, man.
She ran off on the plug.
if you're signing paperwork that says like these people can like They have all the means to tell you to abort a baby Why would you sign that contract to begin with like I don't like no I can't be a surrogate because there's an off chance that they might say never mind eat this like
It's just so many crazy situations that this made me think about.
Like, um, and maybe they start adding this to, um, contracts.
I don't know what a surrogacy contract looks like.
I don't know what.
that process is like, I know some people that have been surrogates before or used surrogates.
Sure, you could like customize your own contract.
know, maybe that's something
Because I feel like it has to be understood that it wasn't from a place of like, we just don't want that baby.
We don't like that baby.
It was from a place of medical like standpoint.
Like they had all this.
Like with all the facts that baby is going to have a lot of surgeries and it's going to be very expensive It's gonna be very medically draining for like they said what open heart surgery or something
for a baby
Yeah, I feel like I'm doing just fine.
You
Yeah, I had it as a one-year-old.
I had VFD repair.
It was torn and I had two holes in it.
So you look at that.
I
DJ.
I mean, open heart surgery is open heart surgery at this point.
It don't matter what it is.
It's open heart surgery.
they would
have been accountable for the bill if like it was agreed upon like hey Yeah, we going through with this pregnancy.
I'm sure that's always in the once a night, but you can't just
in the contract, not the what's-a-name, you can't just make up your own rules and be like, all right, y'all don't want it, I'ma keep it, and I'm outta here.
you
how
Getting our terminology up, y'all.
Don't go anywhere, y'all.
When we come back, we will be getting into something else on the menu.
Penn State frat houses busted.
in cocaine trafficking ring.
Yes, the prestigious Penn State Frat House busted for that cocaine.
Don't go anywhere, y'all.
This is the award-winning one-on-one, seven-to-truth lunch break crew with Ray Nitty, maybe Shannon, DJ, Brother Z. Don't go anywhere.
To other news tonight, two fraternities at Penn State University are at the center of a highly profitable cocaine ring, according to state prosecutors, who say the drugs were cut and packaged right there in the frat houses sometimes by pledges.
Among those charged, 13 current and former students and one student's father.
More now from CBS's Michael George.
Investigators say all but one of the 14 charged were Penn State students at the time of the alleged criminal conduct.
Pennsylvania's Attorney General Dave Sunday says the drug operation was run inside two fraternity houses in 2023 and 2024.
Cocaine was primarily packaged at the fraternity houses and in fact we found a pattern of events that showed cutting and bagging cocaine was for some pledges an indoctrination
into the Delta, Upsilon and Sigma Chi fraternities.
Authorities say the two main dealers were senior members of the fraternities.
Agostino Abatiello was at the very top of the chain.
Thomas Robinson was a rung below that on the ladder.
According to the criminal complaint, the drugs were sold at parties and other college social events.
One defendant is accused of buying more than five pounds of cocaine in a nine
month
period.
Six defendants are facing felony charges.
Eight others are charged with misdemeanors.
Penn State says it's placing Delta Upsilon on interim suspension pending an investigation.
It says Sigma Chi isn't recognized by the university.
The packaging happened at off-campus fraternity houses.
And there was one non-student charged, Paul Robinson, the father of one of the suspects.
Authorities say he concealed evidence, including a safe containing drugs and cash.
Tony?
because let it have been like hazing like yo hate first of all, you know what I gotta watch how I phrase this But they play
They pledges might be up through the roof next time they got a line.
Hear me.
Introduce them to the plug.
What you mean?
Man, what?
They over there getting money, man.
I'm trying to be down with them.

She ultimately decided to continue the pregnancy, ran off to Texas,
where she gave birth on August 12th.
So the parents were like, it just got here.
So this is fresh.
And a lot of people are wondering what's going to happen because I believe the original parents are from California.
The surrogate is from Alaska.
And she ran off to Texas where it's pretty much illegal to have any type of abortion.
So
West wanted to keep the baby and has argued that the Texas law gives her parental rights because she gave birth there.
And the intended parents, however, they say their surrogacy agreement in California court ruling established that they are the baby's legal parents.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton also stepped into the case arguing that the newborn needed life-saving medical treatment.
A Texas judge ordered that the baby receive that care.
The baby got two names at this point.
The parents are calling it Rumi.
The lady that ran away with it is calling it Gabriel.
He underwent a complicated heart surgery and is now in custody of his parents.
Wes has been restricted from seeing the baby so far.

And this is raising a huge question.
It's when a surrogate changes their mind about pregnancy, especially when there are serious medical conditions or complications involved, who gets to decide what happens to the baby?

Or does the person that's carrying the fetus have the final
that's not
I don't know.
It's just a mess because her running off to Texas is crazy.
Like now you got three different states involved and then she started doing these like podcast interviews and like like with like all these like super conservative networks and just like they're trying to in the baby's life and it's just like
Now it's super political and that that's exactly why she ran off to Texas But we'll be right back after these messages.

is there is their world where like, you know, the the surrogate, like the parents who were expecting to take ownership of the baby or raise the kid, right?
Not the birthing.
I know, that sounds crazy.
It might be time to send this back to the kitchen.
But is there a word?
Because the people that were expecting it, they said they wanted her to abort the kid, right?
So that's an interesting conversation.
They're like, nah, we don't want to go ahead abort the baby.
And this person is like, nah, I'm not doing that, then.
I'll take care of the baby.
Is that not a conversation worth having or and this is just me asking a question because I think it's a very important one to ask and and quite frankly the most important thing I ain't even hearing none of them consider is like yo Like what's what's gonna happen with this kid?
You know what I mean?
Like God's God's willing on this kid grows up to be happy and healthy, you know
Like,
what is
going
me.
Yeah.
And then on top of that, like, I think the biggest issue is like the last reporter said was like this.
Whatever her condition it is.
I think it comes along with a lifetime of medical issues.
So I would think she'd be Responsible for the medical expenses personally like we could take our baby, but you you responsible like something needs to be I think the biggest issue here is that When it was a fetus that was determined that there are some medical issues and they wanted to abort and she took it upon herself to run off to Texas and
Deliver this baby that indeed like the doctor said needed a lot of medical attention and all these things So it is it said the seric Lucretia says the serigate is saying possession It nine-tenths of the law so the baby is hers wait, what?
That's not like a football thing But um, yeah, so I think that the biggest thing is
I see a lot of people saying, well, they didn't want it at first.
They shouldn't want it now.
And it's like, that is different when it's like a fetus.
Now the baby is here and that's our baby.
Let's do what we gotta do.
So it's just a lot of back and forth and a lot of conversations coming from that.
And like, even with the legalities of it all, they said that it was in plain writing.
When you're a surrogate, and I've seen a lot of videos like about actual surrogates, it's very plain and clear what you're signing.
It's very plain and clear what you're expected to do.
It's very plain and clear.
We are we are basically the ones that make these decisions So for her to run off like it does sound like she is mentally unstable like if you're gonna be a surrogate I You know, I feel like you you probably have to be ready for whatever situation arises.
if you're signing paperwork that says like these people can like They have all the means to tell you to abort a baby Why would you sign that contract to begin with like I don't like no I can't be a surrogate because there's an off chance that they might say never mind eat this like
It's just so many crazy situations that this made me think about.
Like, um, and maybe they start adding this to, um, contracts.
I don't know what a surrogacy contract looks like.
I don't know what.
That process is like I know some people that have been surrogates before or used surrogates Sure, you could
like customize your own contract.
know, maybe that's something
Because I feel like it has to be understood that it wasn't from a place of like, we just don't want that baby.
We don't like that baby.
It was from a place of medical like standpoint.
Like they had all this.
Like with all the facts that baby is going to have a lot of surgeries and it's going to be very expensive It's going to be very medically draining for like they said what open heart surgery or something
like a baby
Yeah, I feel like I'm doing just fine.
Yeah, I had it as a one-year-old.
I had VFD repair.
It was torn and I had two holes in it.
DJ.
I mean open heart surgery is open heart surgery at this point It don't matter
it's open heart surgery.
they would
have been accountable for the bill if like it was agreed upon like hey Yeah, we going through with this pregnancy.
I'm sure that's always in the what's the name but you can't just
in the contract, not the what's-a-name.
You can't just make up your own rules and be like, all right, y'all don't want it, I'ma keep it, and I'm outta here.
Like, first of
You

To other news tonight, two fraternities at Penn State University are at the center of a highly profitable cocaine ring, according to state prosecutors, who say the drugs were cut and packaged right there in the frat houses sometimes by pledges.
Among those charged, 13 current and former students and one student's father.
More now from CBS's Michael George.
Investigators say all but one of the 14 charged were Penn State students at the time of the alleged criminal conduct.
Pennsylvania's Attorney General Dave Sunday says the drug operation was run inside two fraternity houses in 2023 and 2024.
Cocaine was primarily packaged at the fraternity houses and in fact we found a pattern of events that showed cutting and bagging cocaine was for some pledges an indoctrination
into the Delta, Upsilon and Sigma Chi fraternities.
Authorities say the two main dealers were senior members of the fraternities.
Agostino Abatiello was at the very top of the chain.
Thomas Robinson was a rung below that on the ladder.
According to the criminal complaint, the drugs were sold at parties and other college social events.
One defendant is accused of buying more than five pounds of cocaine in a nine
month
period.
Six defendants are facing felony charges.
Eight others are charged with misdemeanors.
Penn State says it's placing Delta Upsilon on interim suspension pending an investigation.
It says Sigma Chi isn't recognized by the university.
The packaging happened at off-campus fraternity houses.
And there was one non-student charged.
Paul Robinson, the father of one of the suspects.
Authorities say he concealed evidence, including a safe containing drugs and cash.
