[00:00:28] By the way, happy Veterans Day to all who served. Thank you and welcome home to their families. Thank you also for your strength, your sacrifices. And to all non-veterans, be worthy as Americans. Give your time, give of your expertise to help preserve the nation and its principles that veterans sacrifice to defend.

[00:00:56] Be worthy of their sacrifice. So happy Veterans Day and thank you again to all who served. Over the weekend, I watched a speech. The speech was delivered by the Mecklenburg County Sheriff here in Charlotte. Gary, not my fault, McFadden, as I call him. He appeared before the police officer.

[00:01:32] The incoming recruit class of new deputies. I think there were seven. I was the incoming recruit class of new deputies. I think there were seven that were sworn in. They had a ceremony. You know, their families are there in the audience. It's a big day, right? They've gone through the training and they then get sworn in.

[00:01:51] And McFadden, as the sheriff, as their boss. You know, he is there to make some remarks and to welcome them into the agency.

[00:02:04] And to, you know, to talk to all of the recruits, families and such. And he used this opportunity to deliver a rambling, often incoherent.

[00:02:18] And I would submit inappropriate, unscripted speech that ran about 17 minutes.

[00:02:30] I've got the audio. I've chopped it down into soundbites.

[00:02:35] And I am really, really concerned about the man that is in charge of the sheriff's office in Charlotte.

[00:02:50] In Mecklenburg County.

[00:02:54] We've caught bits of this kind of personality, but I'm not sure that anything I have seen up until this video has caused me disturbance as this video did.

[00:03:15] Again, this is at a promotion ceremony or a swearing in ceremony for deputies.

[00:03:27] The introduction, it starts off pretty badly.

[00:03:31] The introduction, I'm not going to play this clip, but it ran three minutes of just accolades.

[00:03:40] And all of the things that Gary McFadden has done and how awesome he is.

[00:03:47] And he's the sheriff.

[00:03:49] He's the boss.

[00:03:51] Why are you?

[00:03:53] Why is there a deputy up there?

[00:03:57] Running through like the awards that he has won from his fraternity.

[00:04:03] Why?

[00:04:04] Why are you doing that?

[00:04:06] Because McFadden needs it.

[00:04:10] He needs to hear this stuff about himself, apparently.

[00:04:16] You can't just go up onto the stage and be welcomed as the sheriff.

[00:04:20] That's not enough.

[00:04:23] Every single thing that Gary McFadden has ever, you know, prized,

[00:04:29] all the recognitions that he esteems must be told to all the crowd.

[00:04:36] You must all know how awesome I am.

[00:04:39] I'm not just your sheriff.

[00:04:41] I have pieces of paper that I have in frames on my wall.

[00:04:50] So that's how it started with a three minute introduction that read like a resume for the guy.

[00:04:57] As if he's the one who is up for a promotion or something.

[00:05:03] And then he speaks.

[00:05:06] Giving honor to God because we are in his house.

[00:05:12] Today, the elephant in the room.

[00:05:15] Because my staff knows I don't write a speech.

[00:05:18] I never do.

[00:05:19] I speak from the heart each and every time.

[00:05:21] Because something happens or something comes to me each time I get to ready to have a graduation.

[00:05:31] So we're going to take care of the elephant in the room.

[00:05:34] The elephant wears green.

[00:05:35] That's my color.

[00:05:37] That's the uniform I have.

[00:05:40] My character and my integrity are being criticized.

[00:05:44] But let me assure you this.

[00:05:46] And you can ask anybody.

[00:05:48] If you believe I'm racist, you need to talk to me.

[00:05:52] If you believe I'm racist, you need to talk to the kids who come and see me.

[00:05:58] If you believe that I'm racist, talk to the people who know me.

[00:06:01] Sure, I will lose some people who may claim to be my friends.

[00:06:06] Or who claim that they have my back.

[00:06:08] Because that's the easy thing to say during these times.

[00:06:11] I have your back, Sheriff.

[00:06:13] Is it anything you want us to do?

[00:06:17] That's the elephant in the room.

[00:06:20] Who's wearing green.

[00:06:23] Because that's the uniform of the sheriff.

[00:06:28] So the sheriff is the elephant in the room?

[00:06:31] Has the sheriff raided your closet?

[00:06:32] Is that what happened?

[00:06:37] That's the first thing he said to the graduates of the academy and their families who are sitting there.

[00:06:49] Think about that.

[00:06:52] Like your husband, your wife, your son or daughter.

[00:06:55] They've gone through the academy.

[00:06:57] They're now going to be going to work for the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office.

[00:07:00] You're there on a Friday at a graduation ceremony.

[00:07:04] And this guy gets up there and starts talking about, I'm not racist.

[00:07:11] What are you doing?

[00:07:15] So in case you were not aware,

[00:07:21] the Mecklenburg County Sheriff, Gary, not my fault, McFadden.

[00:07:25] And I call him that because nothing is ever his fault.

[00:07:27] You see, when people die in the jail, and there have been a bunch.

[00:07:31] When people get fired by him, when people quit because of his antics, it's always not his fault.

[00:07:42] Right?

[00:07:43] That is his excuse every single time.

[00:07:46] See, he's being persecuted.

[00:07:50] And what he analogizes himself later in, and you're going to hear it,

[00:07:56] he analogizes himself to Jesus.

[00:08:01] I'm not kidding.

[00:08:04] This guy has delusions of grandeur.

[00:08:10] He is perpetually aggrieved.

[00:08:13] He focuses everything on himself.

[00:08:18] And by the way, nobody has accused him of being racist.

[00:08:24] They have produced audio evidence of him using racial slurs.

[00:08:30] I don't know what's in the man's heart.

[00:08:33] I don't.

[00:08:33] I have no idea.

[00:08:35] Don't know if he's racist or not.

[00:08:36] See, unlike leftists, I don't throw that word around at political opponents,

[00:08:43] or adversaries, or critics.

[00:08:45] I don't accuse people of these types of things when I don't know what's in their heart.

[00:08:53] But that's not what he's been accused of.

[00:08:56] But that's an easier thing for him, I guess,

[00:08:59] to get up there and defend himself against accusations that nobody made against him.

[00:09:04] It's a version of straw manning.

[00:09:09] So the elephant wears green.

[00:09:11] So, all right, that's where we're going to pick up.

[00:09:13] That the elephant is wearing green.

[00:09:15] You know, stories are powerful.

[00:10:18] All righty.

[00:10:19] Let me get a couple phone calls in here real quick.

[00:10:21] We have two Jims.

[00:10:22] Let me talk to Jim number one.

[00:10:23] Hello, Jim.

[00:10:25] Hey.

[00:10:26] Hey.

[00:10:26] Are you talking about Mr. McFadden?

[00:10:28] Yes, sir.

[00:10:29] Sheriff Gary, not my fault, McFadden.

[00:10:31] Yes.

[00:10:32] Well, Gary, not my fault, McFadden.

[00:10:34] The first thing he stepped in was when he,

[00:10:37] right after he became sheriff,

[00:10:38] he decided to come up to the north end of the county in Cornelius

[00:10:42] and do something that no sheriff had ever done before.

[00:10:46] Yep.

[00:10:47] He ran a speed trap.

[00:10:49] Right.

[00:10:49] And do you know why he chose that area?

[00:10:51] Yeah, because it was a rich white area.

[00:10:53] Yeah.

[00:10:53] He said he wanted to target an area of town in order to sort of balance out racism.

[00:11:00] Right.

[00:11:00] And which, of course, he didn't bother to tell the Cornelius police he was coming.

[00:11:06] And he didn't bother to tell Cornelius city council he was coming.

[00:11:11] And when the town council asked him to come up and explain it to him,

[00:11:16] he basically told them that the only reason they were questioning him his right to do this

[00:11:20] was because of the pigmentation of his skin.

[00:11:23] Right.

[00:11:24] He claims, right.

[00:11:25] And he claimed that at the speech on Friday as well.

[00:11:30] He talked about how he is subjected to racism every second of every day.

[00:11:37] Well, that would be very interesting because I served under three different sheriffs for 30 years

[00:11:44] before he got elected and I didn't see any racism to speak of in my entire 30 years over there.

[00:11:53] Well, it must have come when he came in.

[00:11:57] Right.

[00:11:57] That's the only thing I can either that or he has a hypersensitivity to any kind of criticism

[00:12:04] and then calls it racism because he can't possibly fathom that anything he has done would be objectively bad,

[00:12:13] like that there would just be a bad decision he has made.

[00:12:16] He was with the city when I was with the sheriff and he had a reputation for playing the race card when he got into trouble.

[00:12:27] That would not surprise me.

[00:12:30] That's the word.

[00:12:32] Right.

[00:12:32] But I didn't have any personal experience with it.

[00:12:35] Yeah, no, that would not surprise me at all.

[00:12:37] Jim, I appreciate the call.

[00:12:38] Jim number one, that was.

[00:12:39] Let's go to Jim number two.

[00:12:40] Hello, Jim number two.

[00:12:41] How are you?

[00:12:43] Hey, Pete.

[00:12:44] As an elected position, you know, sheriff's kind of unique.

[00:12:48] I think it's a holdover from old England days.

[00:12:52] The only way to get him out of office before election, of course, is a voter or citizen recall,

[00:13:00] which I would assume would only be registered voter citizens of Mecklenburg County.

[00:13:05] So hang on a second, Jim.

[00:13:06] Jim, let me stop you there.

[00:13:08] There's no recall in North Carolina for elected officials.

[00:13:13] Okay.

[00:13:14] But voters cannot recall elected officials in the state.

[00:13:18] However, there is a process to remove a sheriff.

[00:13:23] Oh, okay.

[00:13:24] Can you elaborate?

[00:13:25] You maybe already have, and I've missed it.

[00:13:28] Can you elaborate, your listening audience, about that process?

[00:13:31] I can.

[00:13:31] It is General Statute 128-16.

[00:13:34] In 2013, any sheriff or police officer shall be removed from office by the judge of the superior court.

[00:13:43] You got to have charges made in writing, and it has to be for one of six causes.

[00:13:51] Willful or habitual neglect or refusal to perform the duties of his office.

[00:13:57] Willful misconduct or maladministration in office.

[00:14:02] Corruption.

[00:14:03] Extortion.

[00:14:04] Conviction of a felony.

[00:14:07] Or intoxication or upon conviction of being intoxicated.

[00:14:11] So those are the six...

[00:14:12] And that would be...

[00:14:13] Yes.

[00:14:14] That would be a judge of the state superior court.

[00:14:17] Well, yeah.

[00:14:18] I mean, all the courts are state courts.

[00:14:20] Yeah.

[00:14:21] So, but it...

[00:14:22] Okay.

[00:14:22] Right.

[00:14:22] And then it talks about how the petition has to be brought forward.

[00:14:25] It may be filed upon the relation of any five qualified electors of the county in which the person charged is an officer upon the approval of the county attorney of such county or the district attorney of the district.

[00:14:41] So there are several different mechanisms in how to initiate that.

[00:14:47] One would be the county attorney.

[00:14:49] One would be the DA or five qualified electors of the county.

[00:14:56] So...

[00:14:56] That would be county commissioners you're referring to?

[00:15:00] Electors?

[00:15:00] I believe so.

[00:15:01] That's my reading of it.

[00:15:03] Yeah.

[00:15:04] Well, since the county is now under blue control along with the city as well.

[00:15:08] I mean, just overwhelming.

[00:15:11] I don't foresee that happening.

[00:15:13] Well, they are the party that said we have to put country over party.

[00:15:18] And so I would assume that that principle would apply to this case as well.

[00:15:23] Right?

[00:15:24] Jim, I appreciate the call.

[00:15:25] I did go looking that up because I am very curious and interested how you go about removing a sheriff from office for what I would submit is maladministration.

[00:15:37] I believe he checks that box.

[00:15:40] Charlotte Observer report from the other day.

[00:15:43] Quote, Mecklenburg County Sheriff Gary McFadden disparaged staff members and said he would never trust them.

[00:15:49] An audio recording obtained by the Charlotte Observer shows.

[00:15:53] Quote, this is from Gary McFadden now.

[00:15:56] I said, let me tell you this.

[00:15:59] I'll tell you this in front of Chief White and Chief Collins.

[00:16:02] I will never, ever trust you.

[00:16:05] Here's what I need from you.

[00:16:06] Johnny on the spot every day.

[00:16:08] Give me what I need every day and we're good.

[00:16:13] McFadden apparently was referencing Talisa White, who oversees the county jail and former Chief Deputy Rodney Collins.

[00:16:19] He then goes on to say, quote,

[00:16:21] But that captain, that white cracker captain is better than the other seven captains upstairs.

[00:16:27] McFadden continued.

[00:16:28] He did not name the captain.

[00:16:30] But said in the recording that the seven other captains upstairs were black.

[00:16:37] This is all coming out after his chief deputy, Kevin Canty, quit and published his resignation letter.

[00:16:45] Kevin Canty, also a black man, as is the sheriff, has alleged that McFadden is verbally abusive to staff, racist and behaves in a way unbecoming of a sheriff.

[00:16:59] Or as I call it maladministration.

[00:17:04] Because that's what the state statute calls it.

[00:17:07] That's why I'm calling it that.

[00:17:08] So McFadden gets up in front of the graduating class of seven new deputies and their families on Friday.

[00:17:17] And does a rambling.

[00:17:21] Ridiculous speech where he talks about the elephant in the room wearing green.

[00:17:27] So the elephant wears green.

[00:17:29] I don't know if that's like it's like one of those codes like the eagle has landed.

[00:17:33] The fat man walks alone.

[00:17:35] The elephant wears green.

[00:17:37] But apparently it also calls him a racist, which he said he was not.

[00:17:41] He's not a racist.

[00:17:42] In fact, he says he cannot be a racist.

[00:17:45] The reason that I cannot be racist.

[00:17:48] Because I don't want anybody to go through what I go through since I was born into this world as a black man.

[00:17:56] Let me say that again.

[00:17:58] I don't want anybody to go through what I continuously go through even to this second.

[00:18:06] Even to this second.

[00:18:08] I would never want that on anyone.

[00:18:11] But I challenge you.

[00:18:14] The people who will be promoted today.

[00:18:16] Don't ask them because they'll say they work for you.

[00:18:20] They may be afraid.

[00:18:22] Ask their spouse.

[00:18:24] What?

[00:18:25] Ask their spouse.

[00:18:26] Don't.

[00:18:27] Ask their spouse.

[00:18:27] I talk to them when it is not easy.

[00:18:32] Because they're at home injured or something is wrong with them.

[00:18:36] All right.

[00:18:36] I'm just going to free piece of advice here.

[00:18:39] Write your scripts.

[00:18:40] Okay.

[00:18:41] Write your script.

[00:18:42] You're not as good at this as you may think you are.

[00:18:44] Okay.

[00:18:44] Just jot down some notes about what you want to talk about.

[00:18:48] Maybe a couple of key phrases or something.

[00:18:49] I'm not saying you got to go like tightly by the script.

[00:18:53] But it's just it's helpful.

[00:18:55] You know.

[00:18:55] Collect your thoughts.

[00:18:57] Because this just makes you sound silly.

[00:18:59] Is that someone who's racist?

[00:19:02] When a five-year-old little girl comes to my office and wants to spend her day with me.

[00:19:07] Is that racist?

[00:19:09] The people that I call and worry about.

[00:19:11] Is that racist?

[00:19:12] That's not the time for all of this.

[00:19:13] But this is what you are going to face.

[00:19:16] What?

[00:19:17] Criticism.

[00:19:19] Each and every day.

[00:19:20] Criticism.

[00:19:21] By the people that you trust.

[00:19:24] Criticism.

[00:19:25] By the people that you work with.

[00:19:27] Criticism.

[00:19:28] By the people that you think would stand beside you.

[00:19:31] Or as they commonly say.

[00:19:32] I have your back.

[00:19:34] And I told my staff this week.

[00:19:36] One word I don't want to ever hear somebody say is.

[00:19:39] What can I do for you?

[00:19:41] Okay.

[00:19:41] That's not one word.

[00:19:43] What?

[00:19:43] Can I do for you?

[00:19:45] That's six.

[00:19:46] So he never wants to hear anybody tell him or ask him.

[00:19:50] What can I do for you?

[00:19:52] Never say that to Sheriff.

[00:19:53] Not my fault.

[00:19:54] McFadden.

[00:19:55] Do not ask what you can do for him.

[00:19:59] If I'm drowning.

[00:20:00] Do I need to tell you to throw me something?

[00:20:02] Well, yes.

[00:20:03] If I don't know you're drowning.

[00:20:05] You ever seen somebody drowning?

[00:20:06] It's like they don't splash all around.

[00:20:08] So I actually like they're very.

[00:20:10] It's like it's a weird thing to watch.

[00:20:13] Like their eyes get real big and they just start struggling.

[00:20:17] But it's like below the water.

[00:20:19] And so, yes.

[00:20:21] Yes.

[00:20:22] If you're drowning, say, help me.

[00:20:23] I'm drowning.

[00:20:25] If I'm hungry, do I need to tell you to feed me?

[00:20:28] Yes.

[00:20:28] If I.

[00:20:29] How would I know you're hungry?

[00:20:30] You could just be really skinny or something.

[00:20:32] I don't know.

[00:20:33] Like, or what if you're like really large and you're really hungry?

[00:20:36] I don't.

[00:20:37] This morning, I sat in my office until this very second alone, alone.

[00:20:47] One person came to talk to me and we had one of the most magnificent conversations ever.

[00:20:55] Okay, wait.

[00:20:56] So I'm confused.

[00:20:56] Were you alone or was there somebody in the office with you when they came by for the conversation?

[00:21:02] Because that would mean you're not alone.

[00:21:05] This guy has a persecution complex.

[00:21:10] And how he lashes out is becoming pretty clear and disturbing for a sheriff.

[00:21:18] A sheriff, one of the most powerful positions in law enforcement and in elected positions in the state.

[00:21:28] This is disturbing.

[00:21:31] I said, what do you think?

[00:21:35] Because you see the issues that we deal with every day that these six people or seven people going to deal with.

[00:21:41] The rest of their life, they're going to be classified as a law enforcement officer.

[00:21:45] We love them today, but we will leave.

[00:21:49] Will we love them when the times get tough?

[00:21:51] Or when you're standing there alone and you're hoping somebody comes through that door, they will not.

[00:21:56] They will say, I'm checking on you.

[00:21:59] But why not a conversation?

[00:22:03] Because that's not who we are.

[00:22:04] I don't even know what that means.

[00:22:07] So he wants people to come and check on him.

[00:22:10] He wants people to ask how he's doing.

[00:22:12] But don't you dare say that one word.

[00:22:15] What do you need from me today?

[00:22:17] Don't ask that.

[00:22:18] Don't say that one word or six.

[00:22:19] Don't say that.

[00:22:21] But he's all alone.

[00:22:22] He's persecuted.

[00:22:25] And you will be too.

[00:22:26] Welcome to the family, everybody.

[00:22:28] Congratulations on graduation.

[00:22:30] Now your life is terrible.

[00:22:33] Like, what are you doing?

[00:22:36] I can't imagine why people wouldn't want to hang around the sheriff's office.

[00:22:40] Really, it's a brain buster.

[00:22:41] Mama Tooted in a message.

[00:22:44] Well, that's the Twitter name.

[00:22:46] John Moore loves the name.

[00:22:47] But Mama Tooted asked me if, is it possible that our sheriff has T-I-V?

[00:22:55] And I think it's probably, yeah, more likely than not.

[00:23:02] T-I-V is the tendency for interpersonal victimhood.

[00:23:09] Right?

[00:23:10] I think that was what it's.

[00:23:11] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:23:12] Tendency for interpersonal victimhood.

[00:23:13] It's to always view yourself as the victim.

[00:23:17] And this does occur not just at an individual level, but also at scale.

[00:23:24] And once you get trapped into this victimization, victimhood mindset, it's very, very difficult to break free of it.

[00:23:32] You're a prisoner to it.

[00:23:36] And there is something else going on here, too, I think.

[00:23:42] Now, full disclosure, I am not a psychiatrist.

[00:23:45] Okay?

[00:23:46] I don't want anybody to get the impression that I have any idea what I'm talking about.

[00:23:51] All I will say is that I have a Google machine.

[00:23:54] And I can look up various things and then judge for myself whether or not somebody's behavior tends to line up with certain characteristics of what is called ASPD,

[00:24:16] which is Antisocial Personality Disorder.

[00:24:23] Antisocial Personality Disorder, or APD, goes by another name.

[00:24:31] But that name is a little bit loaded.

[00:24:36] Sociopathy or sociopathy.

[00:24:41] Sociopath.

[00:24:43] Right?

[00:24:43] Antisocial Personality Disorder.

[00:24:45] And the traits are, for example, not understanding the difference between right and wrong.

[00:24:55] So, for example, was it right or wrong to call one of your captains, one of your employees, a cracker?

[00:25:06] Right?

[00:25:07] Was that right or wrong?

[00:25:09] What do you think?

[00:25:11] Well, Gary McFadden says that that's just him speaking direct.

[00:25:18] I speak direct.

[00:25:20] That's what he said at the speech on Friday.

[00:25:23] Do I speak direct?

[00:25:24] Yes, I do.

[00:25:25] As if that explains why he's calling people racial slurs.

[00:25:29] Because he speaks direct.

[00:25:35] No, no, no.

[00:25:38] Sorry.

[00:25:41] I was pointing something out to John Moore in studio.

[00:25:45] So, I would submit that that's just wrong.

[00:25:49] That you shouldn't call people names like that, particularly racial slurs, when you're their boss.

[00:25:55] And when you are the sheriff.

[00:25:59] Not respecting the feelings and emotions of others.

[00:26:03] That's another trait.

[00:26:05] Constant lying or deception.

[00:26:07] Well, now, Sheriff Gary, not my fault McFadden, has got a bit of a public history with that, too.

[00:26:16] A low concealed handgun permit.

[00:26:18] Slow walking all of that.

[00:26:20] Lying about it.

[00:26:21] Getting sued multiple times.

[00:26:22] How about the ICE detainers?

[00:26:24] Right?

[00:26:24] Or how about the firings of all of the people on staff after he won election?

[00:26:31] And then claiming some other reasons why he let them all go.

[00:26:35] When, in fact, it was because he didn't think that they were loyal to him when he came in to office.

[00:26:42] Being callous.

[00:26:43] Difficulty recognizing emotion.

[00:26:46] Manipulation.

[00:26:47] Like saying all your criticisms are really based in racism.

[00:26:51] Arrogance.

[00:26:52] Check that box.

[00:26:54] Violating the rights of others through dishonest actions.

[00:26:57] How about impulsiveness?

[00:26:58] I don't know.

[00:26:59] Maybe never writing up a speech before you get on stage.

[00:27:02] That might be indicative.

[00:27:03] Risk-taking also.

[00:27:05] Difficulty appreciating the negative aspects of their behavior.

[00:27:09] And check that box as well.

[00:27:11] All right.

[00:27:11] That'll do it for this episode.
