  Speaker 1: Donkey of the day for Thursday, November 5th goes to
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: two former employees of the International School of Monterey. in
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: seaside california okay terry bumper and rosa segura are the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: names uh they are accused of stealing nearly three hundred
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars from a publicly funded school okay what kind
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: of people Look at resources intended for people who have
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: less than them and decide that they deserve those resources more.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: OK, and do you know how they got exposed?
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: They got exposed because they ordered something that people say
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: we never have. And that's breakfast. Yes, a Costco order. OK,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: a Costco breakfast order is what blew up the whole
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: operation because some people just do too much. OK, apparently
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Terry Bumper. The school's food services director placed the order
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: for damn near fifty nine thousand dollars in eggs, bacon
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and potatoes. OK, somebody looked at that bill and said, nope,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: this doesn't even sound right unless we are feeding the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: entire state of California. OK, that suspicious order led to
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: an investigation and police say Terry had allegedly been using
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: school money to buy food for his private catering business.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Flavor Food. to you okay flavor to you was.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: The name of his catering business apparently the flavor was
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: coming to you but the bill was going to the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: school okay authorities say terry allegedly took nearly 59 grand
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and was even renting out the school's kitchen and pocketing
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the money.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, look, we live in an.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Era where everyone has to have a side hustle, but
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: this isn't a side hustle, this is stealing.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, doesn't matter that your stealing has a business plan,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: it's still stealing.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, but while investigators were looking into Terry, the school
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: reported another suspected embezzlement involving his chief financial officer, Rosa
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Segura and Rosa allegedly decided to go bigger than Terry
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: because she took more than $ 238, 000.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Okay. But she was just living life.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: She ain't even had no business.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Police say she used the school money.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: They rent luxury hotels and go to restaurants and get massages, massages.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: She was at Pilates classes. She was, you know, shopping
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and even using the money to charge her Tesla. she
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: got the school district paying the electric bill for her
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: wheels now investigators say there's no evidence these two were
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: working together but it's hard for me to believe that
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: two people were allegedly stealing from the same school at
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the same time and neither knew what the other was
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: doing okay just because two people act like they don't
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: know what's going on it doesn't.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Mean it's not going on okay Now, for the record,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: these are allegations.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: OK, Terry is pleaded not guilty and everybody deserves due process.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: But let's talk about why these folks might go to
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: hell if they don't repent. OK, that money was supposed
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: to be used for.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Children, kids.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: OK, not somebody's catering company, not somebody's massages. And it
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: reminds me of something we don't discuss enough. But I
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: want to say this. Some people. Don't just exploit the system.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: They exploit the very people the system was created to protect. OK,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: there's a different section in hell for those type of individuals. OK,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: there are children in this country who depend on school
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: meals because their families are struggling. Parents working two and
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: three jobs just to keep food on the table. Teachers
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: spending their own money on classroom supplies. And you allegedly
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: got grown adults treating school funds like their personal checking accounts. No, no.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: That's not how that's supposed to work, man. And this
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: is bigger than a school in California. We see this
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: kind of behavior with charities and nonprofits, churches, OK, and
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: organizations that receive money to help struggling communities. Let's never
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: forget the Mississippi welfare fraud case that Brett Favre was
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: linked to. OK, that scandal involved the diversion of over
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: 90 million dollars meant for low income families in Mississippi
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: between 2016 and 2020.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: OK, people get put in positions of trust.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: They're given access to resources intended to help people who
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: need assistance. And instead of serving those people, they start
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: serving themselves. OK, there's a difference between making a living
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: serving people and making a living off the suffering of people.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: And some folks have gotten very comfortable doing the latter. OK,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: they'll tell you they're passionate about helping the community. But
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the only person whose circumstances seem to be improving is them. OK, meanwhile,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the people that are supposed to be helping are still struggling.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: And the worst part is that the people being exploited
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: usually have the least power to do anything about it.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Like a child can't audit the school's finances. A struggling
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: parent doesn't know what's happening behind the scenes with the budget.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: They're trusting the adults in charge to do the right thing.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: And I have another question. How the hell does nearly
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: 300 grand in suspected theft happen at one school before
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: somebody notices? What kind of budget y'all got? Y'all must
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: be balling to not notice 300 grand missing, okay? Because
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: if a suspicious order... of bacon, eggs, and potatoes is
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: what finally gets people checking the books and somebody needs
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to explain what the hell was happening with financial oversight.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: And stuff like this makes it very hard for people
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: really doing the work. When people do things like this,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: they make it difficult for legitimate organizations to get support
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: because every time somebody gets caught stealing from a charity
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: or a nonprofit or a community program, it gives people
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: another reason not to trust those institutions. And the people
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: who suffer from that lack of trust are the same
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: people who need those services.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: So now you've potentially hurt them twice.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: OK, first by misusing the resources meant to help them
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and then by damaging people's willingness to support the institutions
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: they depend on. All because somebody wanted to live better
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: at somebody else's expense. OK, there's something especially wicked about
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: stealing from people who are already struggling because you're not
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: just taking what they have.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: You're taking what little help they were supposed to get.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: And if you have to take resources intended for children
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: and struggling families to improve your own quality of life,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: you need to seriously, and I mean seriously, question the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: quality of your character. Please let Remy Ma give Terry
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Bumper and Rosa Segura the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: You stupid motherfucker. You dumb. There's some evil people on
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: this planet, boy.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy.
• 6:45
