MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Police say a 15-year-old student opened fire inside a study hall at a small Christian school in Wisconsin, killing a teacher and a teenager. Monday's shooting prompted a swarm of police officers to descend on the school in response to a second grader’s 911 call. Police say the girl also wounded six others in the shooting at Abundant Life Christian School, including two students who were in critical condition. Police say the shooter was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound when officers arrived and died en route to a hospital.

AP correspondent Margie Szaroleta reports on former talk show host Carlos Watson being sentenced to nearly ten years in prison in a federal financial conspiracy case involving his Ozy Media.
On this episode of Nightmare Success with Brent Cassity, we explore the shocking and deeply troubling story of Carlos Watson—a pioneering Silicon Valley entrepreneur who built OZY Media from the ground up, transforming it into a near-billion-dollar powerhouse. But in 2019, everything changed. When Watson refused to sell OZY to East Coast competitor Ben Smith (formerly of BuzzFeed)—not once, but five times—the trouble began. By 2021, as Watson prepared for a pre-IPO round, he was smeared in the press, and over the last two years, he faced a stunning indictment and conviction in Brooklyn—despite having no ties to the borough. Disturbingly, the judge in his case, Eric Komitee, had millions of dollars invested in entities tied to Watson's adversaries but never disclosed these conflicts. Award-winning filmmakers Candice Conley and Brenae Perkins have captured this unsettling saga in “The Troubling Case of Carlos Watson: Whose Son Is Next?” Duke Professor David Robinson has also analyzed the case in “Conflict, Bias, and the Railroading of Carlos Watson.” Join us as Carlos Watson shares his incredible journey, the fight against a deeply conflicted judicial process, and what lies ahead in his battle for truth. This is a story of resilience, injustice, and the ongoing struggle for fairness that you won't want to miss. Was Carlos Watson the Mastermind or a Victim of Lies?

Carlos Watson is a Stanford Law School graduate with big Silicon Valley connections and even bigger dreams. When he pitches investors on his idea for a Millennial-focused news website called Ozy Media, it seems like a sure bet. It's the early 2010s, and Internet-focused media start-ups have generated tons of buzz – and more importantly, tons of clicks. But Carlos doesn't actually know what he's doing. And when Ozy fails to attract the readers he's promised his investors, he decides to ditch the business of truth-telling and go rogue.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Don't forget to rate and review this podcast!! Carlos Watson has it all: an Ivy League pedigree, an electric personality, and a media empire called “Ozy.” There's only one problem… Watson is a prolific bullshit artist. When he and his co-founder are caught catfishing Goldman Sachs executives, his empire begins to crumble and his throne of lies is exposed. The Ozy story is truly wild and includes feuds with Sharon Osbourne, a Fyre Fest knockoff, and millennial-era side bangs! We're on Youtube!!

In the last 11 months especially, it's been easy to lose hope. From the pandemic, to the racial injustice, to the betrayal of Afghanistan, to the disintegration of the Republican Party, to the ineptitude of the Democratic Party. From coast to coast, there's a loss of hope across America this holiday season. But in this moment, when the enemies of America seem to be chomping at the bit, we've got to keep the hope. And like Bob Dole, who overcame almost dying on the battlefield in Italy in World War Two and 39 months in the hospital afterwards, we can not only stay hopeful, but we can stay vigilant. Because vigilance is the price of democracy. This show is all about staying vigilant. It's about providing light to contrast the heat. It's about pushing for better. It's about keeping the hope. And about sharing the hope of the Righteous Media 5 I's, to keep you warm and keep you hopeful. It's the hope of independence, integrity, information, inspiration and impact. And it's about real talk, about real issues. No sugar coating. No partisan spin. No corporate masters. No bullshit. And that's what's next. It's a conversation with a voice you know, a voice of reason, a voice that endured adversity, a voice of truth, and especially now, a voice of hope. He's our guest, Tavis Smiley (@TavisSmiley). Tavis has worn a lot of hats in a lot of places. He's hosted shows on BET, NPR, PBS and now owns LA's first black-owned talk radio station, KBLA 1580. He's taken on controversies, and has had his share of his own. He's been a fixture in the national conversation for decades, and an unforgettable, impactful guest in places ranging from Meet The Press to HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher. He's been up, and he's been down. And after years of working for other networks, he's back with a new media network of his own. And a fire that's hotter than ever before. Our fearless host, Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) digs into his aspirations for KBLA, what it means to be “progressive”, and the triple threat facing our democracy. Why he thinks Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is the greatest American of all time, Trump and the rise of extremism and white nationalism. Sympathy vs empathy, and the implosion of Carlos Watson's Ozy Media. And we'll talk about hope. Because Tavis has a take on hope that you will not forget. A take that's perfect as we get deeper into the holidays. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans will continue to be your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration and hope.

On this week's episode of ‘The Cross Connection with Tiffany Cross:' A federal appeals court reinstated Texas' near total abortion ban, Donald Trump is attempting to withhold White House documents from the Congressional Committee investigating the January 6th attack, and the Senate passed a measure that raises the debt ceiling through early December to avoid setting off a global financial disaster. Plus, Tiffany discusses a new study that shows that over 140,000 kids have lost a parent or caregiver due to COVID and why getting vaccinated is so important.

This week, we step into the shoes of Carlos Watson and figure out if he can protect his PERSONAL BRAND, live and in public, if you will! We also step into the shoes of a faithful OZY Board Member and ponder how to ensure this “Lazarus Moment” washes away their organization's SINS instead of resurrecting a MONSTER. Plus, how should Facebook proceed in wake of the bipartisan outrage expressed against it during whistleblower Frances Haugen's Congressional testimony.
