00:00:27,399 --> 00:00:31,320
much for your support. So you know me, I am

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:36,600
a giver, okay, And I watch the various local govc

11
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,399
meetings and such so you don't have to. I watch

12
00:00:40,439 --> 00:00:44,240
a lot of things so you don't have to. And

13
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,439
today it was the emergency meeting of the Metropolitan Transit Commission.

14
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,560
It wasn't that bad, actually, I mean it was okay.

15
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,600
I think they could have done a better job of

16
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:05,280
telling people from the general public that shut up, we

17
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,640
don't want to hear from you before the meeting. I

18
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,079
think that would have been the time to do that,

19
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:15,439
rather than end your meeting with calls from the general

20
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,719
public to be able to make comments and you saying no,

21
00:01:19,239 --> 00:01:21,239
we're not going to hear from you at this meeting,

22
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,879
and so maybe we'll have to schedule another meeting where

23
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,159
we will listen to the two or three of you

24
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,640
who showed up to speak to us about this issue

25
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,719
that we care so so very much about, namely safety

26
00:01:34,719 --> 00:01:39,599
and security on the Charlotte area transit system. Obviously, this

27
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,599
was prompted by some pretty bad responses from local officials

28
00:01:44,879 --> 00:01:48,319
after the murder of a twenty three year old Ukrainian

29
00:01:48,359 --> 00:01:55,280
refugee named Arena Zarutska, who was murdered stabbed to death

30
00:01:55,319 --> 00:01:59,040
in cold blood on a train in the South End

31
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,400
a little over a week ago, and the sort of

32
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:10,159
blase or tipid responses from various elected officials prompted even

33
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:13,240
more outrage. It like, why are you not taking this

34
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:17,719
more seriously, particularly as you are trying to convince us

35
00:02:17,759 --> 00:02:22,840
to approve a one cent sales tax increase for expansion

36
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,960
of the very transit system where the murder occurred. And

37
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,280
then I think, after like twenty four hours of that

38
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,560
kind of blowback and then starting to realize, oh my gosh,

39
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,000
you know, we've got millions of dollars in a marketing

40
00:02:36,039 --> 00:02:41,400
campaign at risk now because of this murder, and our

41
00:02:41,479 --> 00:02:44,560
response to the murder seemed like I'm not saying I

42
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,039
know their motives, but it just kind of seemed like

43
00:02:49,199 --> 00:02:52,319
they wanted it to go away, to just not comment

44
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,280
on it, just sweep it under the rug so as

45
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,639
to not jeopardize the vote. And then it turned out

46
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,960
that they're response might actually be jeopardizing the vote. So

47
00:03:05,199 --> 00:03:09,800
then they held this emergency security meeting, and again I

48
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,520
watched it. You're welcome, Okay. So here's what Mark Garrison,

49
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,719
our news director, wrote up here for the WBT dot

50
00:03:18,759 --> 00:03:23,120
com report. Charlotte Transit now admits that the homeless man

51
00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:25,840
who stabbed a young woman to death on the city's

52
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:30,159
light rail on August twenty second never paid to ride

53
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:35,080
the train. No way, I would have never get Actually

54
00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:40,439
I did guess that. I totally guessed that because obviously

55
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,759
the homeless guy got on the train where we don't

56
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,599
do any kind of fair collection, we don't do any

57
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,000
kind of monitoring for that sort of stuff. And it

58
00:03:50,039 --> 00:03:52,800
becomes as Edwin Peacock pointed out, and we played his

59
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,800
video from Friday night when he rode the light rail

60
00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:00,439
up and down from the South to the New and

61
00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:04,360
back again, and you know, he's videotaping himself in front

62
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,879
of a group of guys in the back of the

63
00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:08,800
train car, and he called it a rolling shelter for them.

64
00:04:08,919 --> 00:04:12,639
They were treating it as a rolling shelter. So anybody

65
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,039
who has been on the light rail line knows of

66
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,240
these issues, and they know that fair collection is spotty

67
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:24,959
at best. And so when there's a homeless guy on

68
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,920
the train, I think the logical assumption is that the

69
00:04:28,959 --> 00:04:32,079
homeless guy is not paying. Do you know why that's

70
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:38,600
a logical assumption, because he's homeless, right exactly there. If

71
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,759
he's got some money, chances are he's not paying a fare, right,

72
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,199
he's using the money to buy something else that is

73
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:51,560
of greater importance to him, especially when not having paid

74
00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:54,160
the fare is only going to get you just tossed

75
00:04:54,199 --> 00:04:57,199
off the train if you're caught. If you're caught, and

76
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,920
that's not even that, that's not even likely under the

77
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,920
current sort of honor system that we've been running on.

78
00:05:04,959 --> 00:05:07,399
And that's really what it's been, an honor system. And

79
00:05:07,439 --> 00:05:10,319
so I pointed out a week and a half ago

80
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:15,199
after the murder of this woman that they need to

81
00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:22,600
do something to fortify access. Right, you need to make

82
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:25,680
sure that people who are getting on the train are

83
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,879
paying to get on the train, because people who are homeless,

84
00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:33,319
they may not be the most stable of mind. They

85
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,040
they're they're not going to get on the trains if

86
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,639
they're going to get booted off immediately or prevented from

87
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,680
getting on the trains. And there are different systems around

88
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,519
America that have addressed this in various ways. And I

89
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,480
mentioned at the time that the Long Island Railroad they

90
00:05:52,519 --> 00:05:57,199
police this through a conductor that walks through. They've got

91
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,240
the little whole puncher thing, and they take your ticket

92
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:03,439
and they punch your ticket. You get a ticket out

93
00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:05,079
of the machine. You pay it the machine, you know,

94
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,279
a kiosk. You get a little paper ticket and you

95
00:06:07,319 --> 00:06:09,160
get on the train and then somebody comes along and

96
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,120
they clip it from for whatever station you're going to,

97
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,040
and then they stick it in the back of the seat.

98
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,720
There are actually little holders on the seat where your

99
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,800
ticket goes, and there's a person on every train. That's

100
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,040
how the Long Island Railroad does it. Now the subway

101
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,560
is a bit different. They have controlled access through turnstiles.

102
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:33,759
And these are not just like your I mean some

103
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,120
of them, yeah, some of them are just like the

104
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,160
waist high ones where you walk through it. You know,

105
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:39,360
you get a little card and you scan it and

106
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:41,600
bebeep and you walk through and it allows one person

107
00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:45,279
at time. But then people sometimes jump those they jump

108
00:06:45,319 --> 00:06:48,519
over them and run in. And when you have people

109
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,920
that are evading the fare, and if you don't have enforcement,

110
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,800
what they have found is that it increases crime in

111
00:06:56,879 --> 00:06:59,639
the mass transit system. Do you remember a couple of

112
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,600
years the Governor of New York sent the National Guard

113
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:08,360
right down to the subway system to patrol because of

114
00:07:08,399 --> 00:07:11,079
the crime situation. People were getting thrown in front of

115
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,079
subway cars and being killed and such. There was violence

116
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,920
and robberies and such, and so she sent out the

117
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:24,639
National Guard to help police the subways, which should send

118
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:32,519
a message that the visual presence of highly trained armed

119
00:07:32,879 --> 00:07:38,199
security acts as a deterrent against crime. And if you

120
00:07:38,319 --> 00:07:42,560
reduce the fair jumpers, you reduce that the people who

121
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:48,680
evade the fairs. You keep criminals out, and if you

122
00:07:48,759 --> 00:07:53,040
have a presence of law enforcement, you keep crime limited.

123
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,040
This is not reinventing the wheel here, people. Okay, these

124
00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:01,879
are things that have been known for a while. So

125
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:08,920
today at the Metropolitan Transit Commission meeting, they discussed greater

126
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:16,439
enforcement of fair collection and they're going to decouple the

127
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:21,399
fair collecting from security because I guess, right now, you've

128
00:08:21,399 --> 00:08:25,160
got this private security firm that acts as you know,

129
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,600
security for all of the CAT system, and they just

130
00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:31,560
kind of hang out on the platform. Some of them

131
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,879
may jump on a train, ride it down, get off,

132
00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:36,759
hang out at that platform, get on the train again. Whatever.

133
00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:38,679
They kind of go up and down all around. But

134
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,480
it's not a constant presence. There's not one security personnel

135
00:08:42,519 --> 00:08:45,000
on every train. So now they're talking about I guess

136
00:08:45,039 --> 00:08:50,279
decoupling from security to have a fair collection agent at

137
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,720
the train stops. But why not just like it's not

138
00:08:53,759 --> 00:08:56,120
like we've got a billion trains here, we only have

139
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,919
a few, Like, why not just put one on every train.

140
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,759
When I was a kid, my grandpa died with Alzheimer's,

141
00:09:02,759 --> 00:09:04,960
and before he died, my mom and my dad took

142
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,200
care of him as he got worse. Forty years ago,

143
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,440
there were no treatments and not much support for caregivers

144
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,000
and family. But things are different today because of the

145
00:09:13,039 --> 00:09:16,200
work of so many people, including the Alzheimer's Association of

146
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,840
Western Carolina. It's a great organization with awesome people with

147
00:09:20,039 --> 00:09:22,799
huge hearts. I've been a supporter for twenty five years.

148
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,120
This cause means a lot to me. I participate in

149
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,039
the annual Walk to end Alzheimer's and I'm leading a

150
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,200
Charlotte team again this year and it's called once again

151
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,679
Pete's Pack. You can sign up and you can join

152
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,519
the team and walk with us. It's on October eighteenth,

all over the Carolinas. You can go to alz dot

163
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,799
org slash Walk for all the dates and locations. We're

164
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,679
closer than ever to stopping Alzheimer's. Can you help us

165
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,039
get there? Will you walk with me? For a different future,

166
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,879
for families, for more time for treatments. This is why

167
00:10:17,919 --> 00:10:21,639
we walk let me go to the text line here.

168
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,360
This is from the WBT text line driven by Libertybewig GMC.

169
00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:32,960
I've been accused of profiling. Yeah, yeah, I do profile.

170
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,600
Oh my gosh, I can't believe he said that. Why

171
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,519
would you admit that? Because I do, and so do you.

172
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,559
By the way, so does everybody. Everybody profiles to some degree.

173
00:10:43,919 --> 00:10:46,519
There's actually a whole division in the FBI. Have you

174
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,720
heard They made TV shows about it, like profiling, trying

175
00:10:50,759 --> 00:10:53,159
to develop a profile, get in the mind of somebody,

176
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:58,480
you know, like based on characteristics and this sort of thing. So, yeah,

177
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,039
what the studies have shown it's the same thing in

178
00:11:02,039 --> 00:11:04,559
line with the broken windows theory of policing, which is,

179
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,159
you know, if you don't allow the windows to stay

180
00:11:07,159 --> 00:11:08,799
broken and you go in and you fix them up,

181
00:11:08,879 --> 00:11:11,279
it sends a signal that this is not acceptable. If

182
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,039
you allow the broken windows to remain broken, more windows

183
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:19,000
get broken and more crime enters the area because people

184
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,000
know that nobody cares, right, So that's part of the

185
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,159
that's part of the psychology of all of this. Same

186
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,120
thing goes with the fair jumpers, those who avoid paying

187
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,720
the fares to go into the mass transit systems and such.

188
00:11:32,759 --> 00:11:35,919
When you allow that sort of behavior to occur, then

189
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,799
you get more of it, and criminals then take over

190
00:11:39,879 --> 00:11:43,080
your transit system, and then people who are not criminals

191
00:11:43,399 --> 00:11:46,879
do not want to ride your transit system anymore, let

192
00:11:46,919 --> 00:11:50,279
alone vote for a tax increase to expand it. So

193
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,080
this is the dilemma that the Charlotte officials are having

194
00:11:54,159 --> 00:11:57,440
now because of the murder of this young woman on

195
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:04,600
what August twenty second seth texts into the text line.

196
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,759
Let's be honest, the folks wanting the tax hike don't

197
00:12:07,799 --> 00:12:10,600
even ride the train. They don't care. They just need

198
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,799
a place to launder money. Do you launder money on

199
00:12:15,799 --> 00:12:18,960
the train? I did not know that. Is that a

200
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,399
special car? I'm gonna have to check that out. No,

201
00:12:23,519 --> 00:12:25,080
A lot, look, a lot of this has to do

202
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,039
with the development deals right along the train line. You

203
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,080
saw what happened in South End. You get all of

204
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:36,200
this development that gets clustered around the train line, and

205
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:41,759
that's by design. And so yeah, doing an extension of

206
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,519
the rail line does promote more development along that rail line. Now,

207
00:12:46,519 --> 00:12:50,399
the question is would that development occur in other parts

208
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,000
of the city, right? Are you just sort of just

209
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,720
directing the development to the train line when it would

210
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,480
otherwise occur elsewhere. This is also sort of the economic

211
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,679
argument about paying for stadium renovations, and don't worry, we

212
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,519
do that too. But if you pay for that, the

213
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,639
idea is, oh, look at all the economic activity it generates, right,

214
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,440
does it? Or does it just move it from other

215
00:13:15,279 --> 00:13:21,240
competing venues? Right? Like, Okay, I can't go to this

216
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,360
stadium because it doesn't exist. But I have these disposable

217
00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:26,440
dollars and I'm going to spend them on something else.

218
00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:28,120
Maybe I go out to eat, or I go to

219
00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:32,279
a play or some theater production something. So I'm still

220
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,080
spending the money on entertainment. It's just not going to

221
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,360
that particular stadium. So I do believe, yes, that part

222
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,600
of it is that you have a lot of the

223
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,519
people that are pushing this or pushing it because they

224
00:13:44,519 --> 00:13:47,519
look at it as an economic development tool, a tool

225
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:56,159
that will probably help them in their enterprises. Sure, Dean

226
00:13:56,399 --> 00:14:01,200
asks if homeless people avoid paying on toll roads or

227
00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:08,440
entering be of a stadium. No, No, Well, Also, I

228
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,519
guess homeless people with a vehicle, if they drove in

229
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,440
the toll lane, they would probably get caught, Well, they

230
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,639
probably wouldn't have a license plate that's up to date.

231
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,679
Maybe they could have one of the dirty thirties, the

232
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,120
thirty day tags. You know, how come private business has

233
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,879
ways of controlling it and the government remains clueless. Well,

234
00:14:28,039 --> 00:14:30,840
because if the private sector doesn't figure out a way

235
00:14:30,919 --> 00:14:33,159
to protect its revenue stream, it goes out of business.

267
00:16:18,159 --> 00:16:21,120
taking action to improve safety on local buses and light

268
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,720
rail trains after a string of violent incidents, including a

269
00:16:24,759 --> 00:16:29,039
deadly stabbing. Charlotte Mayor Vylyles, who also chairs the Metropolitan

270
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,399
Transit Commission, has called a special meeting that occurred today

271
00:16:32,679 --> 00:16:36,720
at nine am. I watched it to address growing concerns

272
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,519
about safety on Charlotte's public transit system, operated by CATS

273
00:16:40,679 --> 00:16:44,159
Charlotte Area Transit System. The move follows the tragic death

274
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,080
of twenty three year old Arena Zarutzka, who was fatally

275
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,879
stabbed on the Links Blue Line on August twenty second.

276
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,320
Police said she was attacked by a man she did

277
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,639
not know. He's been identified as thirty one year old

278
00:16:55,639 --> 00:17:01,519
to Carlos to de Wan Dewan ord or dju Won,

279
00:17:02,799 --> 00:17:06,400
probably the one to Carlos Brown Junior, who now faces

280
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,839
a charge of first degree murder. The surveillance video reportedly

281
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:15,119
shows that he was on the train, she came in,

282
00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:18,440
sat in front of him, and about four minutes later,

283
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,279
without any warning whatsoever, he just stood up, stabbed her

284
00:17:21,279 --> 00:17:23,599
three times in the neck and then got off the

285
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:27,839
train and she died on the scene. Police caught him.

286
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,039
He did not attempt to flee. It's not like he

287
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,759
ran away. And so cat's officials say, oh, the system worked,

288
00:17:33,799 --> 00:17:37,160
see because people saw it and they called nine one one,

289
00:17:37,279 --> 00:17:39,920
and nine one one responded and they found the guy

290
00:17:40,519 --> 00:17:42,680
within six minutes, and it all worked well. And I

291
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,440
would submit it quote worked. In other words, you caught

292
00:17:45,519 --> 00:17:51,519
him because he did not run, because he's deranged. He

293
00:17:51,559 --> 00:17:53,839
did not run. Had he fled, had he run away,

294
00:17:54,799 --> 00:17:57,119
you probably would not have caught him in six minutes

295
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,160
number one. Number two. There is this line that is

296
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,240
being advanced that because of the nature of the attack,

297
00:18:04,319 --> 00:18:08,440
there was literally nothing that you know, police or security

298
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:13,759
could have done. And if you're saying that, you know

299
00:18:13,839 --> 00:18:17,720
the guy stood up without any kind of provocation. He

300
00:18:17,839 --> 00:18:21,839
was deranged. He just saw her and just took out

301
00:18:21,839 --> 00:18:24,599
a knife, stood up, stabbed her, got off the train,

302
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,759
and you would not have even had time to attempt

303
00:18:27,839 --> 00:18:30,920
to stop him physically, to restrain him from the attack.

304
00:18:31,319 --> 00:18:34,319
And that may be very well true, but that is

305
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,480
not the only way that scenario, that hypothetical plays out.

306
00:18:38,599 --> 00:18:41,880
So if you're going to use this nothing we could

307
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:47,160
have done hypothetical, it's only honest that you include the

308
00:18:47,279 --> 00:18:53,119
other hypothetical, the counter hypothetical, which is he never would

309
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,720
have attempted it had he seen a security official or

310
00:18:57,759 --> 00:19:03,119
a law enforcement officer on the train with him. And

311
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,440
this is a direct response to the mayor of Davidson,

312
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,920
Randy Knox, who made this very comment today on he

313
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,200
was zoom calling in. He was virtually joining. He's in

314
00:19:16,319 --> 00:19:21,079
Colorado apparently, and so he was, he was joining remotely,

315
00:19:21,519 --> 00:19:24,759
and he made this argument like, I'm not sure there's

316
00:19:24,799 --> 00:19:27,920
anything that additional security would have done just because the

317
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,759
guy attacked her without any provocation. It happened so quickly,

318
00:19:31,799 --> 00:19:34,839
there was nothing anybody could do right. And again, that

319
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,799
is one way that that hypothetically would have played out.

320
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,680
You have a security officer who is on the train,

321
00:19:41,799 --> 00:19:44,799
the guy is deranged and he's intent on murdering the girl.

322
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,480
He stands up and murders her, and then the security

323
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,559
guard engages afterwards. That's one hypothetical. The other hypothetical is

324
00:19:51,559 --> 00:19:55,400
that the deranged man sees the cop and does not

325
00:19:55,519 --> 00:19:59,960
attack the girl because the mere presence acts as a determ,

326
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,440
which we know to be true. We know this to

327
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,799
be true. Even democrats know this to be true. They

328
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,799
just spent five years denying it because of Saint George

329
00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:17,759
Floyd and the radical communist lefties in their base demanded

330
00:20:17,799 --> 00:20:21,160
a defund the police campaign and that all the cops

331
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:26,079
are racist and all the police institutions are racist, and

332
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,839
so they had to go along with all of this.

333
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,680
They were cowardly. They did not want to push back

334
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,680
against the stupid narrative, or they believed it themselves. By

335
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,680
the way, I just saw this. Matthew Iglesias of the Left.

00:20:39,519 --> 00:20:43,880
He writes a substack newsletter called slow Boring. He was

337
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,880
one of the founders of vox dot com, and he writes, today,

338
00:20:48,279 --> 00:20:53,680
how everybody, even up to Zoron Mamdani, the Kami Jihati

339
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,480
adjacent mayoral candidate up in New York City, everybody is

340
00:20:57,559 --> 00:21:01,279
now against defunding the police. He says, good for him

341
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,160
and good for everybody else. But if more people had

342
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,920
been willing to be pain in the butt contrarians in

343
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,119
the spring of twenty twenty, maybe we could have avoided

344
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:17,680
this whole dead end. Yeah, some people like me were

345
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,240
saying defunding the police is a very stupid thing and

346
00:21:21,319 --> 00:21:24,799
Democrats should not be signing on to this dumb assery.

347
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,119
He says, defunding the police is now deader than a

348
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:35,160
door nail, as witnessed by Mamdani disavowing it while campaigning

349
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:40,119
to become mayor of New York City. That interesting zorin Mamdani,

350
00:21:40,559 --> 00:21:46,599
who will not condemn the phrase globalize the Antifada from

351
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,720
the river to the sea. Right, That's why I call

352
00:21:48,839 --> 00:21:52,279
him Gihati adjacent. Right, So he won't condemn any of

353
00:21:52,279 --> 00:21:54,559
that stuff. He won't disavow any of that stuff, any

354
00:21:54,599 --> 00:21:57,119
of his previous comments on that, He's not distancing himself

355
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,519
from any of that stuff. But on the defunding the police, yes,

356
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:07,440
now he is disavowing that effort. Now he's walking that back.

357
00:22:08,839 --> 00:22:12,759
When people started talking nonsense about this after George Floyd's murder,

358
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,400
I couldn't help but point out that they were wrong.

359
00:22:15,519 --> 00:22:23,079
Iglesias said. Research came out way before the summer of

360
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:29,000
fiery but mostly peaceful rioting that the benefits of police

361
00:22:29,079 --> 00:22:31,720
hiring that were part of the two thousand and nine

362
00:22:31,799 --> 00:22:36,559
Obama stimulus bill, right Bill Clinton. Remember it funded a

363
00:22:36,559 --> 00:22:42,279
whole bunch of law enforcement positions. This is not new research,

364
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:48,759
This is understood. People understand this. I think progressives view

365
00:22:48,759 --> 00:22:52,240
it as cringe and unfair to even talk about this today, since,

366
00:22:52,279 --> 00:22:55,880
after all, few cities actually cut police funding. But that

367
00:22:56,039 --> 00:22:58,839
just underscores how unwise it was to let the energy

368
00:22:58,839 --> 00:23:01,880
of the police reform moven go off the rails like

369
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,279
it did. The opportunity cost was immense, and I think

370
00:23:05,279 --> 00:23:07,039
the country would have been much better off over the

371
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:12,079
last five years if there'd been more and faster pushback. Right,

372
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:17,039
But I think you're forgetting Orange Man bad, therefore defund

373
00:23:17,079 --> 00:23:20,880
the police. That was the calculation. All right, You hear

374
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,400
me talk a lot about incentives, right, Well, let's talk

375
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,200
about incentive trips, the kind that companies offer employees to

376
00:23:27,279 --> 00:23:30,000
fire them up and reward their teams. If you own

377
00:23:30,039 --> 00:23:32,960
a business or you work somewhere that offers these incentive trips,

378
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,559
first off, good for you. But also there is a

379
00:23:35,599 --> 00:23:38,480
custom app that's a game changer for these trips. It's

380
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:43,279
called Incentive trip Kit. Private group messaging, shared photos, your itinerary,

381
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,160
travel details all built into a single, easy to use app.

382
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,440
There's even a traveler locator, so Carl from Accounting doesn't

383
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,279
get left behind. The best part about Incentive trip Kit

384
00:23:53,519 --> 00:23:57,319
it's totally private, no email captures, no sign ups, no

385
00:23:57,519 --> 00:24:01,440
cringe ads. It's simple, clean and secure, and when the

386
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,880
trip is over, Incentive trip Kit turns those highlights into

387
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,119
a professional storytelling video. So think about it. When you

388
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,160
launch next year's incentive trip campaign, that video becomes your

389
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,599
greatest motivator. Talk about a return on investment, Right, you

390
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,720
got to check out Incentive trip Kit for your business.

391
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,759
Visit incentive tripkit dot com because great trips deserve even

392
00:24:22,839 --> 00:24:27,079
better returns. Jeff on the text line says, listening to

393
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,839
the stories coming out about cats, it seems like it's

394
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,759
the wild West out there, no one enforcing any rules.

395
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,519
How can we invite Trump to bring the National Guard

396
00:24:35,519 --> 00:24:39,279
in to make our streets safe? Well, you know, the

397
00:24:39,319 --> 00:24:44,440
mayor could request assistance from the governor there. That's something

398
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:49,119
that they could do. The North Carolina legislature could fund

399
00:24:49,799 --> 00:24:55,200
more local police. They could do block grants for hiring

400
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,559
and salaries for law enforcement officers. Right, these are some

401
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:05,400
solution in the past year. According to Queen City News,

402
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,319
in November twenty twenty three, a writer was stabbed after

403
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,839
arguing with another passenger. Last summer, and off duty security

404
00:25:13,839 --> 00:25:15,839
guard got into a fight on a bus. That's spilled

405
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,279
into uptown streets, and during the same summer last year

406
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,480
there were two other stabbings and a shooting within just

407
00:25:22,519 --> 00:25:26,240
one month. Let me go over to the phones here

408
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,559
and chat with Bain. Hello, Ban, Welcome to the show.

409
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 2: I p hey. Theoretically, I understand the argument that extra

410
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:40,079
security may not have saved that young lady's life, but

411
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,839
I think that's a very shallow approach. And I can

412
00:25:43,839 --> 00:25:47,079
tell you this, if he didn't have a ticket and

413
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,039
couldn't get on, she'd be alive today.

414
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: Correct, Yeah, he did not have a ticket. That's what

415
00:25:53,759 --> 00:25:54,160
they think.

416
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 2: Let's start. Let's start with the simplest approach that's easy

417
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,960
to take care of now before we start bringing in

418
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,880
the National Guard. You've got to have a ticket.

419
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,759
Speaker 1: So what they're looking for. What they're looking to do

420
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:11,640
is some sort of a validator system where you buy

421
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,599
the ticket and a lot of people buy them and

422
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,079
they're just on their smartphones and such, and so you

423
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,559
would buy the ticket, get on the train. There would

424
00:26:18,599 --> 00:26:22,799
be some sort of a validation machine or something that

425
00:26:22,839 --> 00:26:26,000
you would then I guess, scan your phone against this

426
00:26:26,519 --> 00:26:29,839
machine and then if somebody walks through that you can

427
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:34,200
show your phone that you're validated, but if somebody doesn't

428
00:26:34,279 --> 00:26:38,000
walk through, then there's no validation. It doesn't matter if

429
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,240
it's a paper ticket or it's on your phone, you know.

430
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 2: Right, that's what you still got to have an all right,

431
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,279
you've got to have another set of eyes, whether it's

432
00:26:47,319 --> 00:26:51,079
security or volunteers, to say who has a ticket who doesn't.

433
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,559
Right on the Long Island Railroad, those guys were not

434
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,799
law enforcement officers that punched.

435
00:26:55,559 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: Your ticket, right, correct, Yeah, they're l double R employee

436
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:01,920
And that's what they're talking about doing. And this new

437
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,680
guy they brought in four or five months ago, Osness,

438
00:27:05,799 --> 00:27:09,799
the new director of security for CATS. They created this position.

439
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,480
He's former he was a former New York Metropolitan Transit

440
00:27:13,559 --> 00:27:18,000
Authority UH employee. He's former FBI. He's now in charge

441
00:27:18,039 --> 00:27:20,039
of security for CATS. He's been on the job like

442
00:27:20,079 --> 00:27:23,279
four months, UH, and he's he said, like, they're going

443
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:29,319
to be splitting there, decoupling the UH security from the

444
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,319
fair collection and so the fair collectors or the validators

445
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,599
or whoever is going to be walking around, they'll be

446
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,000
cat's employees. And that's what most systems do.

447
00:27:40,079 --> 00:27:43,279
Speaker 2: Right, right, And to go back one more step, did

448
00:27:43,319 --> 00:27:48,519
this man have a record also, Yes, lengthy in a

449
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,119
violent record. Yes, isn't that interesting?

450
00:27:52,319 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had been he had been in prison, you

451
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,119
take it. Yeah, he had been in prison for like

452
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,319
five years or something. He had gotten out. When back

453
00:28:00,319 --> 00:28:03,400
home to his parents, he began acting crazy and agressive

454
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,559
and that's why they finally kicked him out. And then

455
00:28:06,599 --> 00:28:10,079
he had another meet up with law enforcement. And that's

456
00:28:10,079 --> 00:28:11,960
what you know. When he was at the hospital, they

457
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,440
did a wellness check on him because he was talking crazy,

458
00:28:14,799 --> 00:28:18,240
and he said that you know, that man made materials

459
00:28:18,279 --> 00:28:21,039
had been injected into his body that direct when he

460
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,799
walks and talks and all this other stuff. And he

461
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,119
got angry with the cops when they were like, well,

462
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,680
that sounds like a medical issue, not a law enforcement issue.

463
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,000
So then he calls nine to one one to get

464
00:28:31,039 --> 00:28:32,920
more cops out there, and they're like, okay, now you're

465
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,759
abusing the nine one one system. And then they brought

466
00:28:35,839 --> 00:28:38,799
him into custody and then he was taken before a

467
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,200
judge and the judge and his own public defender said like,

468
00:28:42,519 --> 00:28:46,759
this guy needs a mental evaluation, and they had ordered

469
00:28:46,799 --> 00:28:48,119
that and then released him.

470
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 2: And you and you're right about that, and I mean

471
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,200
and that is sad and that is hard. You know,

472
00:28:53,279 --> 00:28:55,799
we have terrorist watch lists for people that may do

473
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,279
harm the masses. When you're convicted of a violent clime,

474
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,880
you should not be allowed to be on public transit

475
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,400
for a period. There should be a type of watch

476
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:06,880
list for violent people.

477
00:29:08,039 --> 00:29:12,319
Speaker 1: I don't know how you would police that facial recognition software. Maybe,

478
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,039
I don't know. Ai. I'm not sure, Vane. I appreciate

479
00:29:15,039 --> 00:29:17,440
the call, and I think that's you may get into

480
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,839
some double jeopardy kinds of implications there. I'm not sure

481
00:29:22,759 --> 00:29:24,799
the system on the light rail did not work for

482
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:29,559
the woman that died, says Stanley. Hopefully a strong Republican

483
00:29:29,599 --> 00:29:33,480
candidate for Charlotte Mayer will emerge. Well, I'll tell you

484
00:29:33,559 --> 00:29:36,720
what after the news. I will tell you how this

485
00:29:36,839 --> 00:29:39,319
story and how the crime issue is now making its

486
00:29:39,319 --> 00:29:44,000
way through the election for mayor, which is just a

487
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,640
couple weeks away. All right, that'll do it for this episode.

488
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,720
