[00:00:28] I must admit, I am as shocked as you are to see our sheriff's name back in the news here in Mecklenburg County. Sheriff Gary Not My Fault McFadden, because nothing is ever his fault, back in the news after his chief deputy resigned and wrote a letter, a two-page letter, where he accused

[00:00:57] Sheriff Gary Not My Fault McFadden of unprofessionalism, racism, and abusing his power. McFadden said, it's not my fault. That's the standard response. Kevin Canty is his name, a chief deputy to Mecklenburg County Sheriff Gary McFadden resigned from the agency.

[00:01:24] And WCNC Charlotte obtained his resignation letter. In the letter, Canty takes several shots at McFadden, accusing him of running the agency, quote, into the ground and demoralizing the men and women who work there.

[00:01:44] McFadden has responded, it's not his fault. Canty also accuses McFadden of being insecure. He says that's not his fault either.

[00:01:52] And taking credit for successes while blaming others for all the problems under his watch. Right, because it's not his fault.

[00:02:01] I mean, I know it sounds like he's blaming other people for the problems that have occurred under his watch, but don't you understand?

[00:02:08] It's not his fault, people. Come on now. Let me get to some of the quotes here.

[00:02:16] From the letter.

[00:02:18] I have witnessed firsthand your denigrating and unprofessional comments to your command and executive staff.

[00:02:28] I have witnessed your blatant insecurities on full display as you accepted credit for all successes and deflected blame and attributed all issues and problems to the staff.

[00:02:40] I have also witnessed you lie effortlessly.

[00:02:43] No! Really?

[00:02:48] Gary, not my fault. McFadden is a liar? No way!

[00:02:52] If only there was any evidence other than, you know, for the last, I don't know, what, six years or so.

[00:02:58] Or eight years. Six years. Yeah.

[00:03:02] Man.

[00:03:03] Who could have known? Oh, that's right.

[00:03:05] Like, everybody.

[00:03:07] Everybody knows this guy's a liar.

[00:03:11] The guy has been sued multiple times.

[00:03:15] And then lies about why he's been slow walking all of the concealed carry permits.

[00:03:23] He lies about his refusal to cooperate with immigration and customs enforcement.

[00:03:29] He says, um, I've witnessed you lie effortlessly, then throw a temper tantrum and attack the messenger when confronted with evidence that proved you lied.

[00:03:43] Oh, my gosh.

[00:03:44] I want details on this incident.

[00:03:46] Oh, my gosh.

[00:03:47] This is this would be so great.

[00:03:49] Right.

[00:03:50] Oh, I am sure it is super petty.

[00:03:56] But remember, this is the guy who, when the state came in and did its reviews of the jail, he accused the state inspectors of being racist.

[00:04:10] And that's why they were citing him for failures at the jail.

[00:04:14] See, because it's not his fault, because that's that's his standard go to.

[00:04:18] It's not his fault.

[00:04:20] It's somebody else's fault.

[00:04:23] And.

[00:04:25] Remember.

[00:04:26] He fired the woman, Gina Hicks, who was the one who was running the Mecklenburg County Jail for years.

[00:04:34] He fired her before he even took the oath of office, which actually raised some questions, legally speaking, as to whether or not he was allowed to do that because he hadn't actually been sworn in at the time, if I recall correctly.

[00:04:48] And Gina Hicks then tried to unseat him.

[00:04:51] She went to work over in Gaston County.

[00:04:53] Gaston was like, oh, heck, yeah.

[00:04:55] Come come work for us.

[00:04:56] They hired her up immediately.

[00:05:00] So she leaves.

[00:05:02] And now you got people dying in the jail.

[00:05:06] And McFadden says, not my fault.

[00:05:09] There's some other reason.

[00:05:13] Another quote from the letter.

[00:05:15] The way you conduct yourself should be embarrassing to you.

[00:05:18] And you frankly should be ashamed of yourself.

[00:05:20] The citizens of Mecklenburg County deserve better, as do the employees of the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office.

[00:05:28] He says, I have watched you marginalize and retaliate against not only me, but against anyone who dares to push back against your endless onslaught of insults and condescending language.

[00:05:42] I also watched as you circumvented the Office of Professional Conduct and discarded the results of internal investigations if you disliked the results or if the employee was someone you liked.

[00:05:57] I've also witnessed you weaponize the Office of Professional Conduct to target employees you have a personal dislike for instead of using that division to conduct objective, unbiased investigations of allegations of violations of policy and procedure.

[00:06:14] I have also heard you use racist language conducted conduct beneath the dignity of the Office of Sheriff.

[00:06:24] I wonder what he said.

[00:06:26] And Kanti wrote that he had voted for McFadden twice.

[00:06:35] McFadden is now in his second term.

[00:06:39] Gina Hicks ran against him last time, but then another fellow also threw his name in the hat and then the hat into the ring.

[00:06:49] But anyway, there were like three candidates.

[00:06:51] And so they split up a lot of that opposition vote.

[00:06:55] And it was in the Democrat primary.

[00:06:57] And so the machine seems like protected Gary.

[00:07:01] Not my fault.

[00:07:01] McFadden.

[00:07:05] Kanti said he had voted for McFadden twice, but that in a 33 year law enforcement career with four different agencies, quote, I have never witnessed such dysfunction.

[00:07:17] He said he had never seen an agency leader act in such a classless and abusive manner.

[00:07:25] It is my hope that you will one day develop the emotional maturity and introspection that real leaders possess.

[00:07:34] But Kanti added that he did not think that that would happen.

[00:07:40] Who could have seen this coming?

[00:07:41] Oh, my gosh.

[00:07:45] Yeah.

[00:07:47] You know, you know, you know, you know, it did it for me.

[00:07:50] It's one of those questions.

[00:07:53] At.

[00:07:55] At one of the debates and it was about or the only debate, I guess it was the last election cycle.

[00:08:02] And.

[00:08:04] The issue was raised and his opponents were raising it.

[00:08:09] It didn't really get a lot of traction, but it's.

[00:08:13] Has to had to do with McFadden's past and whether or not he had faced disciplinary action, whether he could testify.

[00:08:21] I think it's called Giglio.

[00:08:23] You know, if you if you're a cop and you get sort of impeached like on the witness stand and you're impeachable on the witness stand, like you become almost worthless to prosecutors because they can't use you to testify on cases, you know.

[00:08:39] And anyway, he.

[00:08:42] He had some run in or some issues, some personnel infractions, whatever.

[00:08:47] And when he was asked about them, rather than.

[00:08:51] You know, coming clean or talking about it or defending himself about it.

[00:08:55] What what did he say?

[00:08:56] You remember?

[00:08:57] He said something along the lines of, well, if you want to talk about my performance and you have to talk about all the things I have done, good and bad over the course of my entire career, because you're not allowed to ask him about this negative thing.

[00:09:14] Unless.

[00:09:15] First.

[00:09:17] You praise him for all the wonderful things.

[00:09:21] That to me is indicative of a mindset.

[00:09:25] And I am not at all surprised.

[00:09:28] I am surprised it took this long for somebody to do something like this, to write something like this and for it to go public as it now has.

[00:09:37] And maybe this will affect.

[00:09:41] His reelection if he chooses to run again in a couple of years.

[00:09:48] I don't know.

[00:09:49] I don't know.

[00:09:50] I just I.

[00:09:52] I almost wonder, though, if there are too many people inside GovCo that just prefer there to be somebody like him in charge.

[00:09:59] Where things occur.

[00:10:01] Remember, this is the guy that doesn't call inmates inmates.

[00:10:04] He calls them residents.

[00:10:06] It's all style over substance.

[00:10:09] You know.

[00:10:11] Look good while you're doing it.

[00:10:12] Say the right words.

[00:10:14] But actually run a jail where people are dying.

[00:10:17] You know, stories are powerful.

[00:11:20] Scott says in an email,

[00:11:23] But why, Pete?

[00:11:25] Why does GovCo care if we eat the king's deer or domesticate the king's squirrels?

[00:11:31] Deer, squirrels, raccoons, opossums.

[00:11:34] None of these things would do harm to an average American.

[00:11:37] Why pay someone at GovCo to withhold these from the people?

[00:11:42] Is it about the permits and the dollars collected for permissions?

[00:11:46] Asking for a friend.

[00:11:47] Signed, Robin Hood and his buddy Littlejohn.

[00:11:52] Yes.

[00:11:54] Along those lines, and this does tie together with Gary Not My Fault McFadden and the way he runs Mecklenburg County as the sheriff.

[00:12:06] Running through the forest.

[00:12:07] Laughing back and forth about the other.

[00:12:09] Anyway.

[00:12:11] There was a piece that ran in the New York Times.

[00:12:13] It's been a while.

[00:12:15] But it was written by Bell Boggs.

[00:12:17] Bell Boggs is the author of a book, of several books, but the latest, called The Art of Waiting on Fertility, Medicine, and Motherhood.

[00:12:32] And she wrote this piece at the New York Times where she described her interaction with a bat.

[00:12:41] Now, as a writer at the New York Times, one would think that I am automatically talking about moon bats in the Democrat Party.

[00:12:48] But I am not.

[00:12:49] This is an actual bat.

[00:13:00] She says,

[00:13:47] This had happened to us before, by the way.

[00:13:49] About five years ago, which is when we learned about the need to isolate and trap any bat that invades our sleeping space for rabies testing.

[00:13:58] So we isolated the bat in our bedroom.

[00:14:00] But it escaped through the door to the porch.

[00:14:05] Humble brag.

[00:14:06] We got a porch off our bedroom.

[00:14:07] Anyway, I called our health care after hours line and spoke to a nurse who consulted the CDC.

[00:14:15] We called our county's animal control center and an officer was at our house within 10 minutes.

[00:14:19] He searched the house and garage for bats, found none, and put in a report to our county's public health department.

[00:14:27] The county nurse talked us through the risks and said,

[00:14:31] It's your life we're talking about.

[00:15:17] After our visit from the vet, our sheriff's department, public health department and university hospital all functioned exactly as designed.

[00:15:25] You notice what did not occur in this story?

[00:15:30] Right.

[00:15:31] Elimination of the bat.

[00:15:34] Right.

[00:15:34] The actual problem.

[00:15:35] Right.

[00:15:35] The bat.

[00:15:37] Flew into their house.

[00:15:39] They called for help and nobody helped to remove the bat.

[00:15:43] There's nothing in here.

[00:15:44] I guess it just flew away.

[00:15:46] It escaped onto the porch or something.

[00:15:48] And then.

[00:15:49] I don't know, it got out of the porch.

[00:15:50] Maybe it's not screened in.

[00:15:51] I don't know.

[00:15:54] But basically, you're freaking out.

[00:15:56] So you call up GovCo and they're like, yeah, go do these other things.

[00:15:59] And they're like, oh, my gosh, thank God I had GovCo to call because if I didn't call GovCo, then I wouldn't know what to do.

[00:16:09] Guys.

[00:16:11] I am a little fed up.

[00:16:15] OK, that's not true.

[00:16:16] I'm really fed up of being governed by these anxiety riddled theater kids.

[00:16:23] OK, I'm just fed up with it.

[00:16:25] I'm tired of it.

[00:16:27] Thank God you didn't have a pet squirrel in your house when they showed up to not remove the bat.

[00:16:33] They probably would have murdered your pet.

[00:16:35] Talking about.

[00:16:37] Well, we were talking about Peanut and Fred, the euthanized woodland creatures up in the state of New York, which, by the way.

[00:16:47] The kicker on that story out of New York is that and I totally forgot this.

[00:16:52] When I was up there this past summer.

[00:16:54] At my sister's house in New York, we had a raccoon that just showed up and it was just lounging around on the front yard in the middle of the day.

[00:17:04] And you could tell like it was having problems walking like that thing is rabid.

[00:17:09] So she had to call like 17 different companies and agencies and nobody would do anything.

[00:17:16] So when you want the rabid raccoon taken away, they won't come.

[00:17:23] They make it so difficult.

[00:17:26] Like, you know, identifying illegal aliens in the Mecklenburg County Jail under Gary McFadden's watch.

[00:17:32] It's so impossible to do.

[00:17:35] But if you give them an Instagram channel and they get half a million followers, then they beat down the door and they take them and then they euthanize them.

[00:17:48] Meanwhile, this crazy woman up in I think she's in Chapel Hill because, of course, she writes this piece at the New York Times about this bat that flies into her bedroom.

[00:17:59] And so she calls the local GovCo agencies.

[00:18:03] To find out what to do.

[00:18:04] Actually, hang on a second.

[00:18:05] Let me get Andy on.

[00:18:06] Hello.

[00:18:06] Andy.

[00:18:07] Welcome to the program.

[00:18:08] Hey, Andy.

[00:18:10] Hey, Pete.

[00:18:10] How you doing?

[00:18:11] Good.

[00:18:11] What's up?

[00:18:13] Well, when you were telling that story about the bat and then you asked what part was missing, the part I was expecting to be missing was the bat bite.

[00:18:24] I've never heard of anybody getting rabies shot because they were around rabies or possibly around rabies.

[00:18:31] You are correct.

[00:18:33] I'm thinking if she had been wearing her mask, they wouldn't have given her the shot.

[00:18:39] I think so.

[00:18:41] That's probably accurate.

[00:18:44] That is right.

[00:18:46] Are we going to have a commercial now with John Legend and three band-aids?

[00:18:49] Yes.

[00:18:50] We're going to have to do some fundraisers and all sorts of stuff.

[00:18:53] Yeah, Andy, I appreciate it.

[00:18:54] No.

[00:18:55] Yeah.

[00:18:55] Nobody got bitten in this woman's story.

[00:18:59] So, all right.

[00:19:00] Toby Rogers, who is a fellow at the Brownstone Institute, he's like, let me get this straight.

[00:19:05] He runs through the details.

[00:19:07] He says, a bat flies into a woman's home in North Carolina.

[00:19:11] After a short time, the bat flies away.

[00:19:15] So, the crazy lady and her husband then proceed to do the following.

[00:19:21] They consult the CDC website.

[00:19:23] They call their health care after hours line.

[00:19:26] They call the county animal control center that sends an officer out in 10 minutes to inspect the house.

[00:19:32] The officer finds nothing, writes a report to the county public health department.

[00:19:35] The family then goes to the emergency room.

[00:19:39] They get two rabies shots, one in each arm.

[00:19:42] They pay like $600 or so in ER co-pays with heftier hospital bills probably to come,

[00:19:48] all because a bat that did not touch them and flew away.

[00:19:55] She then, think about it.

[00:19:57] She then writes about this harrowing experience in an op-ed for the New York Times.

[00:20:05] Who publishes it?

[00:20:09] And she makes the focus about how Donald Trump would destroy the administrative state

[00:20:14] that would take away her beloved hypochondria.

[00:20:18] That's what's happening here.

[00:20:22] She concludes, hang on, here we go.

[00:20:25] She says, quote,

[00:20:27] I want to believe Kamala Harris is right when she says,

[00:20:32] we are not going back to a time where every calamity leaves us on our own.

[00:20:38] You're not on your own.

[00:20:40] You got Google.

[00:20:41] Google that crap.

[00:20:42] What are you talking about?

[00:20:44] Do I need to get a, Google, do I need to get a rabies shot?

[00:20:48] If a bat flies into a bedroom and doesn't bite anybody,

[00:20:51] Google would say, no, you're an idiot.

[00:20:53] Okay.

[00:20:53] I'm actually pretty certain that with the AI function turned on, I think.

[00:20:58] She says, I don't want to live in a country that doesn't hold the health and safety of its citizens in high regard.

[00:21:06] And I don't want to be left to make important decisions without guidance from qualified professionals.

[00:21:18] But for now and for at least the next six months, I don't.

[00:21:22] I live in the United States of America.

[00:21:25] Land of bats.

[00:21:27] Land of doctors.

[00:21:29] Land of public health.

[00:21:30] Land of justice.

[00:21:31] And that's worth fighting for.

[00:21:33] What is truly amazing here is not only that she felt this really stuck the landing, you know, like when she was writing this, like this is.

[00:21:43] She's a writer. She wrote books. She has published works. And she wrote this conclusion thinking, totally nailed it. Oh, I totally nailed this. She then submits it to the New York Times and they agree. What? They agree?

[00:22:04] They're like, oh, yeah, this is awesome. This is really going to move some of those undecideds. You know, I wasn't going to vote for the orange man.

[00:22:16] But then I read this piece about a crazy lady who had a bat fly into her belfry and then escape. Didn't bite anybody. And she went to the emergency room after calling various GovCo agencies, got the shots at cost to her.

[00:22:32] Because that's rational. You know who I blame in this situation? The husband. Dude, where are you in this? Where are you in this story? Where are you to say, honey? Like, that's a bit much. Let's just Google this. We don't need to get the shots. No, no. It's everybody in the car. We all head down to the hospital. We're all going to get the shots. Kids, dad, mom, everybody gets some shots, get some rabies shots.

[00:23:03] Because a bat was in the house. Toby Rogers. He goes on to say, my reflections on this on this piece.

[00:23:16] Number one, vaccines in general and covid in particular broke the brains of progressives. That's number one.

[00:23:23] Number two, these people are now completely insane.

[00:23:28] Number three, you do not need a rabies shot if you happen to see a bat.

[00:23:34] Okay, I feel like I need to repeat this one.

[00:23:37] You do not need to get a rabies shot if you just see a bat.

[00:23:44] Okay?

[00:23:46] Just seeing it fly around, even if it's in your bedroom and then it leaves.

[00:23:50] You don't need a shot for that.

[00:23:54] Next, hypochondria is a serious mental illness and she needs psychological counseling, not rabies shots.

[00:24:04] Next, articles like this.

[00:24:08] Convince of the urgent need to abolish the administrative state.

[00:24:14] Right.

[00:24:15] We have we have people in this country.

[00:24:18] Media, Democrats, but I repeat myself, members of GovCo that are making people literally insane.

[00:24:27] He then says the grifters in public health need to stop taking advantage of crazy Democrats who are not thinking straight.

[00:24:35] Right.

[00:24:38] Do not affirm this.

[00:24:42] This doesn't get better.

[00:24:43] This way of thinking does not get better.

[00:24:45] There are people who are hypochondriacs.

[00:24:49] They overreact to things and telling them that they are right to do so is not helping them.

[00:24:57] If anything, it's actually hurting them.

[00:24:59] It's a message from Russ who says the same GovCo that will tell you it will take 30 minutes to respond to a violent person beating on your door.

[00:25:07] Or if they respond at all.

[00:25:08] Has the resources to take anonymous complaints, get a warrant, surveil and raid your home over a raccoon and a squirrel.

[00:25:16] And Pete, you you treat Gary not my fault McFadden so unfairly.

[00:25:20] How could it possibly be his fault that he took over an agency that was a prestigious national model,

[00:25:26] then implemented a bunch of policy changes and reversals.

[00:25:29] And now the agency has become a dumpster fire.

[00:25:32] That's not the sheriff's fault.

[00:25:33] And the bad story highlights how we need to normalize telling people they are stupid.

[00:25:38] Not one professional at animal control, the hospital or anywhere said, nah, you're overreacting and just being dumb.

[00:25:46] Um, Michael says the issue you had this summer with the raccoon at your sisters would not have been an issue in the South.

[00:25:55] We would have went in the house, got the 22 rifle, took care of the issue.

[00:25:58] If we had called animal control, that's probably what they would have told us to do anyway.

[00:26:05] I did think about that.

[00:26:06] I was like, man, if only I was carrying, but I couldn't because.

[00:26:11] I was in New York and they don't they don't have reciprocity up there.

[00:26:17] All right.

[00:26:18] Let me go to Jan.

[00:26:19] Hello, Jan.

[00:26:20] Welcome to the show.

[00:26:21] Thank you, sir.

[00:26:22] Yes.

[00:26:23] I got part of the issue with you're talking about with the bat saying it was overreacting because it wasn't a bite.

[00:26:30] Rabies does not spread just through bites.

[00:26:33] How else does it spread?

[00:26:35] It's contact of saliva or mucus through an open cut in the skin, into the mouth, into the nose, into the eyes.

[00:26:44] It's not just a bite, not just a bite itself.

[00:26:48] Right.

[00:26:48] And none of that stuff happened either.

[00:26:50] Yeah.

[00:26:51] I mean, none of that happened.

[00:26:52] That's OK, but it's on.

[00:26:53] That's something else.

[00:26:54] But I just want to say, especially if you're asleep and you find a bat in your room, there is the potential.

[00:27:00] You could have been exposed.

[00:27:02] Yeah.

[00:27:03] She was not.

[00:27:05] Yeah, no.

[00:27:06] They was just flying around in their bedroom and then it flew out the door.

[00:27:10] Yeah.

[00:27:10] So, I mean, I wouldn't worry about that, but I just wanted to bring up the point.

[00:27:13] It's not just through bites.

[00:27:15] Right.

[00:27:16] All right.

[00:27:16] Thank you, Jen.

[00:27:17] Appreciate the call.

[00:27:18] Let's go to Wayne up next.

[00:27:20] Hello, Wayne.

[00:27:21] Hey.

[00:27:22] Hey.

[00:27:23] Good to talk to you.

[00:27:23] Thanks for taking my call.

[00:27:26] So, to the bat, I grew up in rural Ashe County, North Carolina, and we got all the forest critters up there.

[00:27:33] And my mom woke up, this has been six years ago now, probably with a bat on her chest.

[00:27:39] Yikes.

[00:27:40] So, she woke my dad up.

[00:27:42] He got a rag and took the bat and opened the sliding glass door, threw it out on the porch, and didn't think anything of it.

[00:27:48] She had no noticeable signs of a bite.

[00:27:53] But, just like the gentleman that just, and apparently the teeth on the bats are so teeny that you could actually get bitten and not even know it.

[00:28:02] So, she went ahead and did all the rabies shots.

[00:28:05] I just had an experience with the whole bat thing, but it was different from that piece you've been talking about.

[00:28:13] Yeah, the woman who had a bat in the room, and then it flew out, and then she got shot.

[00:28:17] Right.

[00:28:18] And then, to top that, again, growing up in rural Ashe County, my dad's a general contractor, and we would clear our own trees for our houses we built.

[00:28:29] And occasionally, we would fall a tree, and there would be squirrels in it.

[00:28:34] So, I raised squirrels from just pink, no hair, eyes still shut, and made those pets.

[00:28:42] And I've also had a pet raccoon kind of in the same.

[00:28:45] Oh, my gosh.

[00:28:46] Dude.

[00:28:47] Yep.

[00:28:47] So, I've had the pet raccoon, pet squirrel, and my mom had the bat story.

[00:28:52] Oh, my gosh.

[00:28:53] So, this show is dedicated today to Wayne.

[00:28:57] There you go.

[00:28:58] Telling it's, this is your life, Wayne.

[00:29:01] Hey, I appreciate the call, man.

[00:29:02] Thank you.

[00:29:03] Let me jump over and get Steve on.

[00:29:05] Hello, Steve.

[00:29:07] Hey, Pete.

[00:29:07] How are you today?

[00:29:08] Hey, I'm good.

[00:29:09] What's up?

[00:29:10] Well, real quick, a little story on our dear honest sheriff.

[00:29:15] When I applied for my concealed carry, you know, I waited three months, and I called them.

[00:29:21] The deputy told me, no, the VA's really backed up with them, so it's going to be a while.

[00:29:26] So, I waited six months, called them back.

[00:29:30] Deputy lied to me again.

[00:29:31] And so, then I went to the VA, and I talked to the lady that receives and returns those requests from the sheriff.

[00:29:40] She looked up my name, and she said, we returned it in 11 days.

[00:29:47] 11 days.

[00:29:48] And they were lying to me this whole time.

[00:29:51] So, I just took what she printed out for me and went to the sheriff's office, asked that lady why they'd been lying to me for six months, and she didn't give me an answer.

[00:30:01] Wow.

[00:30:01] So, why can we, how in the world can the head of our law enforcement lie to people and tell his staff to lie to people targeting us gun owners and not be held accountable?

[00:30:16] I just don't understand how this man can get away with this.

[00:30:20] Why can't he be indicted for it?

[00:30:22] Well, I don't know about indictment, but I think if more of his people inside of his outfit come forward and expose the truth, maybe that does get some action.

[00:30:35] Let me get Tim on here.

[00:30:37] Tim, I only have like 15 seconds for you, but it's all yours.

[00:30:41] Hey, I was just wondering about that bat that got in that lady's bedroom.

[00:30:45] It's a good thing that the bat didn't bite that lady because then y'all had to test the bat for Trump derangement syndrome.

[00:30:54] There you go.

[00:30:55] All right, Tim.

[00:30:56] Thank you, sir.

[00:30:57] Well executed.

[00:30:58] All right.

[00:30:58] That'll do it for this episode.
