And again, thank you so much for 9 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:32,840 your support our Mecklenberg County Sheriff Gary not my fault McFadden. 10 00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:37,439 He is at it again and he wants everybody to 11 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,920 know none of this stuff is his fault, which is 12 00:00:41,079 --> 00:00:47,479 very on brand for not my fault McFadden. So several 13 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,280 developments over the last week that I've had, but I 14 00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:53,600 just keep kind of pushing off because of the obvious 15 00:00:53,719 --> 00:01:00,960 developments in the news cycle. Let me start with this. 16 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:08,359 I got screenshots the other day of an announcement that 17 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,480 McFadden sent out to all Mecklenberg County Sheriff's Office employees 18 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,560 and it says, today I wanted to give you an 19 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,040 advanced notice of a possible news story that will be 20 00:01:20,079 --> 00:01:23,319 published by the Charlotte Observer within a couple of days, 21 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,040 the Charlotte Observer will publish a story that will possibly 22 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:31,239 contain comments and criticism from former Chief of Detention T. White. 23 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,480 Our PIO staff and I were notified of this several 24 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,599 days ago, and on Wednesday morning, I was interviewed by 25 00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:41,359 The Charlotte Observer regarding the comments that were presented to me, 26 00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:45,640 possibly made by Chief of Detention T. White. I am 27 00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:49,239 only giving you this notice because we all have been 28 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:56,079 subject to these Mecklinberg County Sheriff's all employee emails and 29 00:01:56,159 --> 00:01:59,359 news stories that sometimes shock us all. So I will 30 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,359 wait to see the entire interview published. But from what 31 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,519 was provided to me by the Charlotte Observer, it was 32 00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:08,680 extremely disappointing and hard to believe for many obvious reasons. 33 00:02:09,439 --> 00:02:12,000 So I will wait. He's always the victim or the hero, 34 00:02:12,199 --> 00:02:15,280 remember Gary, not my fault. Macfadden, always the hero or 35 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,439 the victim, never the villain. So he's going to wait 36 00:02:18,439 --> 00:02:20,560 for the article to be published before I make any 37 00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:24,680 further comments to you as our staff. Personally, I am 38 00:02:24,759 --> 00:02:27,960 fine and will continue to be fine and fearless and 39 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,520 faithful to this agency. Hero. So remember when storms come, 40 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,680 they bring rain that rain will water the seeds that 41 00:02:35,719 --> 00:02:38,560 have been planted deeply into the soils of Meckleiberg County 42 00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:41,199 Sheriff's Office by you as our staff. But if there's 43 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,879 an old sorry, but there is an old African proverb 44 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,919 to remember quote if there is no enemy within, the 45 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:54,560 enemy outside can do no harm, which I'm not actually 46 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,039 sure that's true. I mean, I know it's a proverb 47 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,639 in all but I if there is no enemy within 48 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,120 the outside could do no harm. I'm not like, if 49 00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:08,319 your village is surrounded by a million troops and they 50 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,479 lay siege to your village. You may have no enemies 51 00:03:12,479 --> 00:03:15,199 inside that village, but the enemy outside can definitely do 52 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,360 you some harm. So I'm not really sure that that 53 00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:20,680 proverb anyway. Have a safe and amazing day, that's what 54 00:03:20,719 --> 00:03:25,280 he says. I've seen no article by the Charlotte Observer 55 00:03:25,719 --> 00:03:30,719 quoting one T. White, but he obviously has no problem 56 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:37,120 talking about personnel matters in an all staff email when 57 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,960 he wants to alert everybody that there's going to be 58 00:03:40,039 --> 00:03:43,639 yet another news article or is I guess he would 59 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:49,400 probably call it a hit piece directed at him. But again, 60 00:03:49,439 --> 00:03:52,240 I haven't seen any reporting. I've been waiting for it. 61 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:57,520 I haven't seen a report on any accusations from t White. 62 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:04,039 Now there is a story about his former business director, 63 00:04:05,199 --> 00:04:10,680 Angelia Rigsby, who, if I recall correctly, spoke with Vince 64 00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:18,720 Cokeley several months ago and talked about how she was fired, 65 00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:21,680 And now she has filed a lawsuit against Gary. Not 66 00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:26,839 my fault McFadden. A federal lawsuit filed on Friday, says 67 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,079 he created a toxic culture of retaliation and racism within 68 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,360 the sheriff's department. She worked at the sheriff's office for 69 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,000 just eight months before McFadden terminated her last November. We 70 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,000 reported on that at the time as well. For almost 71 00:04:41,079 --> 00:04:44,480 a year, the sheriff has been hounded by criticism from 72 00:04:44,519 --> 00:04:49,079 former employees. Two chief deputies who quit and his recently 73 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,240 retired chief of detention have accused him of classlessness, bullying, 74 00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:01,959 and narcissism. Yeah, check and check. McFadden responded to those 75 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,600 claims in recent interviews with The Observer. He said that 76 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,759 all three were playing the victim. He has not said 77 00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:10,720 whether he is running for reelection. By the way, I 78 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,079 suspect that this might be the article that McFadden was 79 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,879 worried about because it doesn't I don't believe it specifically 80 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,199 mentions t White, but it seems like maybe the observer 81 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,399 may have gotten win that this that this was coming, 82 00:05:29,079 --> 00:05:31,839 that this lawsuit was going to get filed, and maybe 83 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,360 that's why they went to him to try to get 84 00:05:33,399 --> 00:05:36,639 quotes from him before the lawsuit got filed, so they 85 00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:41,000 would have them when the lawsuit dropped. Just a guess. 86 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,120 I don't know that to be true, but that's just 87 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,040 a guess because this article came out after his all 88 00:05:47,079 --> 00:05:52,079 staff email. He has not said whether he is running 89 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:57,279 for reelection, but the Democrat primary in March already has 90 00:05:57,319 --> 00:06:03,360 three candidates, former Chief Deputy Rodney Collins, CMPD Sergeant Ricky 91 00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:09,120 Robbins and former jail officer Antoine Nance. In a June 92 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,279 twenty twenty four internal report, this goes to the nature 93 00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:17,600 of the lawsuit the allegations now. Rigsby points out in 94 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:23,240 this internal report a pay disparity. She was warning that 95 00:06:23,319 --> 00:06:26,079 there was a black woman in a managerial role at 96 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,399 the Sheriff's office who was making less money than three 97 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:35,160 supervisors who had less experience than she did and had 98 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,720 less responsibility and less tenure. They were at the Sheriff's 99 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,519 office for a fewer years. So you have this one 100 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,879 woman who's a black woman in this role, but then 101 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:53,480 you have three other, I guess, similarly situated supervisors who 102 00:06:53,519 --> 00:06:57,839 are not as qualified, and they're making more money, she says, 103 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,399 and this is in the internal report. She said. If 104 00:07:00,399 --> 00:07:02,959 this is not corrected, it could result in legal action 105 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,879 for the Sheriff's office. She told the then chief Deputy, 106 00:07:08,959 --> 00:07:12,519 Kevin Canty, who we've had on this program, And she 107 00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:16,480 told the human resources director Alexis Pearson that she was 108 00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:21,399 concerned that the pay disparity may be racially biased and illegal. 109 00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:28,439 McFadden is also black, and he denied Rigsby's request to 110 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,759 adjust the employee's pay. Now, I don't know the race 111 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:38,680 of these other supervisors. Rigsby has also claimed that McFadden 112 00:07:38,759 --> 00:07:43,720 asked her to alter governmental records after The Charlotte Observer 113 00:07:43,839 --> 00:07:53,519 filed the public records request for his travel expenses. So 114 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,360 the Observer reported on his trips around the country, along 115 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,800 with trips that other sheriffs in the Charlotte region took 116 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,800 as well. His then executive assistant, Shelby Jones, calls up 117 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:11,079 Riggsby about this record's request from the newspaper. Jones, the 118 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,879 executive assistant to not my fault McFadden. Jones said that 119 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,279 McFadden quote did not want all that, all the records 120 00:08:21,319 --> 00:08:26,199 in question. He did not want all that to go out. Yeah, 121 00:08:25,879 --> 00:08:30,240 it's a public records request. It's a Freedom of Information 122 00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:38,039 Act request like it's public record. So, according to the lawsuit, McFadden, 123 00:08:38,879 --> 00:08:45,519 through his assistant Jones, ordered Rigsby to change the records 124 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:52,639 and that's no bueno. That is not good. Riggsby refused 125 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,120 because she believed that the request was illegal. McFadden's request 126 00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:02,639 to change the data. She believed that that would be 127 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,519 illegal and would implicate her in illegal conduct. She reported 128 00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:12,840 that this request was also unethical. Rigsby discovered and exposed 129 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:18,000 that several employees were employed and being paid for services 130 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:23,000 not performed. So we're just handing out checks to people 131 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,279 that are these are no show jobs. So McFadden's been 132 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,639 giving people no show jobs too. That was part of 133 00:09:29,639 --> 00:09:33,879 a fraud investigation in which the former business director was 134 00:09:33,919 --> 00:09:36,879 alleged to have contracted with personal friends who did not 135 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:43,120 perform their contractual obligations to the department. No boyo. So 136 00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:46,159 when I was a kid, my Grandpa died with Alzheimer's, 137 00:09:46,159 --> 00:09:48,360 and before he died, my mom and my dad took 138 00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:50,600 care of him as he got worse. Forty years ago, 139 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,799 there were no treatments and not much support for caregivers 140 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,399 and family. But things are different today because of the 141 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,600 work of so many people, including the Alzheimer's Association of 142 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,919 Western CA Carolina. It's a great organization with awesome people 143 00:10:03,159 --> 00:10:06,200 with huge hearts. I've been a supporter for twenty five years. 144 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,519 This cause means a lot to me. I participate in 145 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,440 the annual Walk to end Alzheimer's and I'm leading a 146 00:10:12,519 --> 00:10:15,600 Charlotte team again this year, and it's called once again 147 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,080 Pete's Pack.

Also, 153 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,480 I'll be am seeing the Gastonia Walk on October eleventh, 154 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,320 and so you can make a team and join that 155 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,679 one too, or make a donation and help me hit 156 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,960 my goal of five thousand dollars. If you do, I 157 00:10:44,039 --> 00:10:46,399 really appreciate it. There are a bunch of other walks 158 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,120 all over the Carolinas. You can go to alz dot 159 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,200 org slash walk for all the dates and locations. We're 160 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,080 closer than ever to stopping Alzheimer's. Can you help us 161 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,440 get there? Will you walk with me? For a different future, 162 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,279 for families, for more time, for treements. This is why 163 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,799 we walk. Beckelberg County Sheriff Gary not my fault. McFadden 164 00:11:04,919 --> 00:11:08,240 has now issued a statement. It's actually a YouTube video. 165 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,799 It's almost twelve minutes long. I have not even had 166 00:11:11,799 --> 00:11:14,600 a chance to watch all of this in its entirety. 167 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,559 I've been watching little chunks of it during the breaks 168 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,720 and such. The big takeaway is that he's not going 169 00:11:20,759 --> 00:11:25,039 to play the victim, but he is the victim. That's 170 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,320 the message. I don't want to play victim, but I'm 171 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,159 the victim. I'm betrayed. I lost count. Maybe I'll try 172 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,879 to start counting again. How many times he says the 173 00:11:34,879 --> 00:11:38,480 word betray or betrayed, betrayaled? He says it a lot. 174 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,519 He also makes up some other words, but like he 175 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,000 says betrayed, I feel betrayed. Everybody betrayed me. And then 176 00:11:45,039 --> 00:11:48,480 he says that all of these executive staff officers who 177 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,279 have left him that are all black, that they should 178 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,240 have shown him loyalty because they wouldn't have otherwise gotten 179 00:11:55,279 --> 00:12:02,279 a job at such a prestigious organization. Which, wow, that 180 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,320 is a thing to say. Let's take a listen. 181 00:12:05,919 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 2: This is Sheriff Gary mc fadden of the Meckenburg County 182 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,720 Sheriff's Office. For the past several weeks, months, and days, 183 00:12:11,879 --> 00:12:15,240 I have been questioned years, repeatedly, years, Sheriff, why don't 184 00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:19,120 you give a statement about what your ex employees, ex 185 00:12:19,159 --> 00:12:23,919 executive have said? Each time I would tell that person 186 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,000 of those people, I can't buy law. 187 00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:30,799 Speaker 1: But I can go at a graduation ceremony and just 188 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,679 use that as an opportunity to just trash the people 189 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,200 that we're filing these complaints against him. Yeah, that's what 190 00:12:38,279 --> 00:12:40,639 he So he can do that, but he just can't. 191 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,600 I'm sorry, I cannot comment on personnel matters, and now 192 00:12:43,639 --> 00:12:46,960 obviously a federal lawsuit against him. 193 00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:51,039 Speaker 2: The law prohibits me from talking about personnel matters. This 194 00:12:51,159 --> 00:12:54,720 past weekend, I was at an event and two people say, 195 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,840 Sheriff tell them how you really feel, tell them about 196 00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:02,639 how you feel trade tell them what your family is 197 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,200 going through, and tell them how your wife feel betrayed 198 00:13:06,759 --> 00:13:11,039 by the very people that you trusted and you actually 199 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,919 entrusted them with your wife for their personal matters and 200 00:13:16,039 --> 00:13:20,639 personal well being and also personal growth. So after thinking 201 00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:23,960 about that time and time again, I want to come 202 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,039 to you to try to give you some clarity on 203 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,759 what I feel and what has happened. So it's trying 204 00:13:29,799 --> 00:13:32,960 to give this statement. We have to understand by law, 205 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,360 I cannot talk about personal matters, y know, But they 206 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,120 have the ability to talk about personal matters and they 207 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,240 have the ability to be the victim. And I'm not 208 00:13:44,279 --> 00:13:46,600 going to play the role of the victim, but they 209 00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:49,720 do have that luxury to talk about what they believe 210 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,000 and how they feel that they have been victims. And 211 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,440 my statement today is not about personal matters, but it's 212 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,279 about matters that our personal. 213 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 3: To me. 214 00:14:03,279 --> 00:14:08,399 Speaker 2: The first is how feel I feel betrayed betrayed. I 215 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:14,919 feel that my loyalty was betrayed, my trust in my 216 00:14:15,039 --> 00:14:19,360 staff was betrayed, and most of all, the betrayal that 217 00:14:19,399 --> 00:14:23,720 my wife felt when I told her who said what 218 00:14:23,919 --> 00:14:27,360 and what was said and by whom. And I remember 219 00:14:27,399 --> 00:14:34,080 that because one of the ex executive staff members had 220 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,279 weekly calls with her and they talked to help them 221 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,200 move along in their career. But imagine having dinner with 222 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,480 the same people with your wife presence. This was the 223 00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:48,320 first time my wife ever came involved with my work 224 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,320 as a law enforcement officer for forty four years, and 225 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,519 so I allowed her to come inside to see what 226 00:14:55,559 --> 00:15:02,039 we do. And so this is about my character, my reputation, 227 00:15:02,759 --> 00:15:06,360 my integrity, my loyalty, but most of all, it's about 228 00:15:06,399 --> 00:15:10,879 my legacy. And I have to tell you that I 229 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:17,440 still feel portrayed, and my family feels portrayed, but most 230 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,120 of all, my wife feel betrayed because she well knew 231 00:15:21,159 --> 00:15:23,799 how much she has helped several of these people and 232 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,320 the conversation that she had with these people and recent 233 00:15:27,399 --> 00:15:31,879 conversations that we had with these people. And the reason 234 00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:35,799 that is so outstanding is because during the time before illness, 235 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,919 we still kept in touch with them and we allowed 236 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,000 certain people to come and visit her at the hospital. 237 00:15:42,679 --> 00:15:49,200 But we all know that my ex executives or executive staff, 238 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,879 which should be the people that you can trust with 239 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,840 any conversation when you have an executive staff, you believe 240 00:15:54,879 --> 00:15:57,440 that you can have these conversations, you can have these 241 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,720 tough conversations and you move on. That is not the 242 00:16:01,759 --> 00:16:02,320 case here. 243 00:16:02,559 --> 00:16:03,679 Speaker 1: No, from my. 244 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 2: Executive staff, who should be my most trusted staff, is 245 00:16:10,039 --> 00:16:13,639 the most multiple betrayal of my agency. 246 00:16:13,879 --> 00:16:17,559 Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know what the word multiple means, but 247 00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:20,080 that was another one. So he's up to ten mentions 248 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:25,360 of betray or betrayal. Ten and we're only three minutes 249 00:16:25,919 --> 00:16:30,279 forty nine seconds into an eleven minute fifty second statement. 250 00:16:30,639 --> 00:16:33,200 All right, you hear me talk a lot about incentives, right, Well, 251 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,759 let's talk about incentive trips, the kind that companies offer 252 00:16:36,799 --> 00:16:40,080 employees to fire them up and reward their teams.

Yeah, he's always the victim or the hero, never 283 00:18:13,599 --> 00:18:16,720 the villain. All these people around him and his executive leadership, 284 00:18:16,759 --> 00:18:18,640 they're all out to get him. They all betrayed him. 285 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:19,920 It's never his fault. 286 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,319 Speaker 3: Well, that's because that's because a very large part of 287 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,960 the people who were working there when he was started 288 00:18:26,279 --> 00:18:28,119 have resigned and gone other places. 289 00:18:28,279 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: True. True that, yeah, they won't, they won't work for 290 00:18:31,279 --> 00:18:31,559 the guy. 291 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 3: He had to close Jail North because he didn't have 292 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,319 the staff to run the place, and he couldn't nobody 293 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,200 would come to work for him. And I worked for 294 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,960 the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's office, and I've not personally known 295 00:18:45,039 --> 00:18:49,440 the last four sheriffs, and they were leaders, all of them, 296 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,640 everybody from C. W. Kidd up to Irwin Carmichael. Gary 297 00:18:53,759 --> 00:18:58,599 McFadden is not a leader. He does nothing except self 298 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,640 aggrandizement and then blames everybody when they don't fall down 299 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,119 and worship at his feet. 300 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,759 Speaker 1: I would say from the outside that appears to be 301 00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:11,160 an accurate representation. That's what it looks like from my 302 00:19:11,519 --> 00:19:14,000 vantage point as well. And I have no experience at 303 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,000 the Sheriff's office. 304 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, you know my only the only thing I 305 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,559 can say about that man is he is a disgrace 306 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,160 to the office he holds. 307 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: James, I appreciate the call, sir, Thank. 308 00:19:24,039 --> 00:19:26,519 Speaker 3: You, thank you. All right, buddy, thank you letting me avam. 309 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: Yes, sir, I understand. Let's get back to Gary's. By 310 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,000 the way, he's sitting on a couch at an unflattering 311 00:19:34,079 --> 00:19:37,880 camera angle, reading off of a bunch of papers on 312 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:42,359 his crossed knee. So here he is now and de portret. 313 00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:45,759 Speaker 2: Oh and you hear them saying words like narcissists and 314 00:19:45,839 --> 00:19:47,519 godlike and all of that. 315 00:19:47,599 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 316 00:19:48,319 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 2: What they should be saying is progressive, innovative, forward thinking. 317 00:19:52,759 --> 00:19:58,720 Oh my God, always direct and always clear, highly motivated, 318 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:06,519 have hot expectations, demands accountability, but most of all caring, caring, 319 00:20:06,799 --> 00:20:09,720 most of all caring. So imagine for the first time 320 00:20:09,759 --> 00:20:12,680 people came to your home to eat. We have allowed 321 00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:15,880 the sheriff's deputies to come inside our home to eat, 322 00:20:16,759 --> 00:20:19,759 talk to my parents, talk to my in laws, and 323 00:20:19,839 --> 00:20:24,480 held my grandchildren. But now to be portrayed by some 324 00:20:24,559 --> 00:20:27,720 of these very people is unbelievable. 325 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: The ultimate but most of all ultiple. 326 00:20:29,839 --> 00:20:33,839 Speaker 2: I gave them grace, and they even have grace now 327 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,519 because of the laws that will not permit me to 328 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:44,079 talk about their personal time here, talked about their behavior here, 329 00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:48,039 talked about their evaluations here, and talked about all the 330 00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:49,720 things that we discuss. 331 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,759 Speaker 1: Hang on a second, you're giving them grace because you're 332 00:20:53,839 --> 00:20:58,279 not allowed to trash them. That's not how grace works. Gary, 333 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,279 That's not great at all. That's you being restrained by 334 00:21:02,319 --> 00:21:06,240 the law. Because if you didn't have the law restraining you, 335 00:21:06,519 --> 00:21:08,920 I suspect you would have all sorts of things to say. 336 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,440 You have said all sorts of things to them in 337 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:16,000 the privacy of your super secret executive staff meetings. Right 338 00:21:17,079 --> 00:21:20,200 You've attacked them and savaged them in front of their 339 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,440 coworkers and stuff. You belittle them and bully them. I mean, 340 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,839 that's according to how many one, two, three, four, what 341 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,680 do we have to now? Five? Are we had half 342 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,400 a dozen former executive staff people who have quit your 343 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:37,559 ranks because of you. It's you, dude, it's not everybody else. 344 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,519 This is a you thing. But he can't see it. 345 00:21:41,559 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 2: He won't acknowledge that doing executive staff meetings, the meetings 346 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,119 that are held away from all other staff members, and 347 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,519 the executive staff meetings should have been sacred. 348 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: So like when you were like using racial slurs against 349 00:21:56,759 --> 00:22:00,359 your people, that's what you wanted to be sacred. That 350 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,000 do I have that right? The ultiple betrayal is what 351 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,160 you called it. I'm gonna start calling myself the multiple 352 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,720 radio host on WBT, I am the ultiple radio host. 353 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,400 It's a great title because it doesn't mean anything because 354 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,599 the word is made up. It's not a real word. 355 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:22,759 Speaker 2: Should have loyalty, should have honesty, but it wasn't. My 356 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,640 executive staff, most of all had betrayal. 357 00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 1: There's another one, And what was. 358 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 2: Grace part of it? Because here's why I think grace 359 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,599 is part of it. They had grace to see one 360 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:40,440 of the most successful, outgoing progressive agencies here in North 361 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:45,720 Carolina and possibly in America. And this is why I 362 00:22:45,839 --> 00:22:50,480 believe that a few of them seek employment here, not 363 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:57,480 knowing that it was this progressive, this outspoken, this direct 364 00:22:57,799 --> 00:23:03,079 The sheriff holds people to accountability, and we asked to 365 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,440 be honest. 366 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:09,599 Speaker 1: So basically, you were lucky to see me work. He 367 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,759 feels betrayed because I let you see me work, and 368 00:23:14,839 --> 00:23:18,160 I'm progressive and outspoken and I care. It was with 369 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,359 the utmost of caring. I dare say the ultiple of caring. 370 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,720 When he called people racial slurs. See, that's just proof 371 00:23:25,759 --> 00:23:28,240 of how caring he is and why he wants all 372 00:23:28,319 --> 00:23:30,119 this stuff secret, and I guess probably why he wanted 373 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,920 to keep the travel records secret and then tried to 374 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,440 get them doctored, because that's that's what caring people do. 375 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,359 That's what honesty is about changing your travel records under 376 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,039 a Freedom of Information Act request. 377 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 2: But we did not get that. We simply got portrayals, 378 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:52,400 ahing and the grace which also allowed them time in 379 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:57,240 their difficulties and not knowing how difficult it is to 380 00:23:57,319 --> 00:23:59,960 be the first and why we say the first, Well, 381 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,200 I don't know how difficult it is to be the 382 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,440 first of anything, but to be the first African American 383 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:14,440 law enforcement officer to also be portrayed by African American 384 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,559 executive staff members is also something that I would never 385 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:20,880 fathom happening. 386 00:24:21,039 --> 00:24:22,759 Speaker 1: Wait a minute, So you thought that just because you 387 00:24:22,799 --> 00:24:25,319 share a skin color, you should be able to abuse 388 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,240 them or maybe behave unethically and that they would cover 389 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:34,799 for you because they're black. Two. Wow, that is well, 390 00:24:34,839 --> 00:24:40,519 that is a management style. I guess that. I that's 391 00:24:40,559 --> 00:24:43,240 pretty astounding. By the way, I am up to now 392 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:49,759 fifteen fifteen uses of the word betray or betrayal fifteen 393 00:24:49,799 --> 00:24:55,079 times in six and a half minutes, I think he 394 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,359 feels betrayed.

We're about halfway a little bit more than 425 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,400 halfway through this video message from a personal message from 426 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:44,039 Sheriff Gary not my fault McFadden addressing staff departures. He 427 00:26:44,079 --> 00:26:48,160 has so far said the word betray or betrayed fifteen times. 428 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,000 Let's see how many more he'll say it. 429 00:26:50,519 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 2: Why? Because I gave them grace and I give them 430 00:26:53,599 --> 00:26:57,799 opportunity that most of them would have never had or 431 00:26:57,839 --> 00:27:02,039 would have never experienced by working for agency of this caliber. 432 00:27:02,559 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: So, in other words, they're too they're not good enough 433 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:11,240 to work at a sheriff's office of this caliber. Like 434 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:17,720 what an overinflated sense this guy has of himself. 435 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 2: Which all leaves mean to be baffled, because we all 436 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,960 know in the African American community, the whispers are this, 437 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:33,279 why does African Americans target African Americans when they're at 438 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:38,880 the top of leadership. Why don't any of these ex 439 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:44,960 executive staff members talked about their previous or previously employers 440 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,680 or their previous staff even here at the Mackenburg County 441 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:50,359 Sheriff's Office. 442 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 1: Oh, I can answer that one is because you suck. 443 00:27:52,319 --> 00:27:55,119 That's why you're a terrible leader and manager. That's why 444 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,519 they're saying these things. And the idea that you would 445 00:27:57,559 --> 00:28:01,960 expect them to stick together because of your race is 446 00:28:02,759 --> 00:28:06,480 an unbelievable admission to make as the top law enforcement officer. 447 00:28:07,599 --> 00:28:08,799 It's unbelievable. 448 00:28:09,799 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 2: And so that leads me to the whispers of our community. 449 00:28:12,599 --> 00:28:15,839 Why now, Well, we all know it's election season, and 450 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,960 we all know that I'm very outspoken, and we all 451 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,400 know that the law is going to prohibit me to 452 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,440 talk about personnel matters. So if one person's opened the door, 453 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,920 it gives the advantage for other people to walk in 454 00:28:30,759 --> 00:28:33,640 and say what they want to say, but they will 455 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,400 play the victim. I will not play the victim this 456 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,119 whole time. But here's what I want you to understand 457 00:28:40,359 --> 00:28:44,200 that I understand in these days of trying to find 458 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,440 out why, I don't need to know why. I just 459 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,640 wish each and one of them good luck in wherever 460 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:55,359 they may work. Again. I just ask that they don't 461 00:28:55,359 --> 00:29:01,160 be as deceiving and they do not betray the other 462 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:05,359 the employers as they portrayed me. And someone said with 463 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,480 Sheriff Macfatt, how do you go through this every day? 464 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,119 Yesterday a young man said, what books that you read 465 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,440 to stand all of this betrayal and all of this 466 00:29:14,519 --> 00:29:17,720 criticism they think you are subjected to. 467 00:29:17,839 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: I don't think people are asking this, And I said, I. 468 00:29:19,519 --> 00:29:22,839 Speaker 2: Have very good friends, number one, and I have very 469 00:29:22,839 --> 00:29:27,000 good sheriffs who have countlessly called me and say, stand strong, 470 00:29:27,839 --> 00:29:31,000 stand tall. We know who you are. The people that 471 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,880 really know me, who really know me for over forty years, 472 00:29:35,279 --> 00:29:38,680 know that my dedication to this community, my dedication to 473 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,519 the victims, and even the dedication to my staff, because 474 00:29:42,559 --> 00:29:46,839 what we are listening to is the executive staff members, 475 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,720 and not the people in the hallways, not the people 476 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,880 in the pods, not the people that I talk to daily, 477 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,680 not the people of the chain of command. As they say, 478 00:29:56,759 --> 00:30:00,880 do I support the little man absolutely, wh I support 479 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:06,359 the middleman absolutely? Do I support the executive staff absolutely? 480 00:30:07,119 --> 00:30:12,119 When you are honest, you are forthcoming, you're clear, and 481 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:17,720 you're direct. Being on the executive level takes true leadership, 482 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,079 true honesty and tough skin. Why because you're going to 483 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,640 hear some things that you may not want to hear, 484 00:30:25,039 --> 00:30:30,039 because I'm requiring you to have accountability for others. I 485 00:30:30,079 --> 00:30:34,400 am not perfect, never ask to be perfect, and never 486 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:39,000 will be perfect. All I was and still ask for 487 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:44,359 is excellence. This is an agency of excellence and it 488 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,640 always will be because this is what I expect each 489 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,920 and every day. So if you want to work here, 490 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:57,559 bring excellence. If you want to work here, bring honesty. 491 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,920 If you want to work here, bring loyalty. If you 492 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:05,240 want to work here, bring respect. But when people say, Sheriff, 493 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,839 how do you do this? All the time, and you 494 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,839 go on each and every day. How do you run 495 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:15,799 an agency still be criticized and be betrayed by members 496 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,599 of your staff, your current staff, and even the staff 497 00:31:19,839 --> 00:31:23,480 that have retired. I have a quote in one of 498 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,319 my officers and a quote that I always look at, 499 00:31:27,279 --> 00:31:30,759 and it's about a gentleman who wrote about another gentleman 500 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:38,279 in nineteen forty and in that that letter said, great 501 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:45,000 spirits have always encountered violent opposition from the mediocre mind. 502 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:51,599 The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who 503 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:58,279 refuses to buy blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead 504 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:06,799 to express his opinion courageously and honestly. That is out Einstein. 505 00:32:07,599 --> 00:32:13,759 This is what keeps me going every day, not to 506 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:18,000 dwell in the minds of the mediocre thinker, but to 507 00:32:18,119 --> 00:32:22,720 dwell in the minds of a progressive thinker, a forward thinker, 508 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,519 an honest thinker who will not betray him for his staff. 509 00:32:28,079 --> 00:32:31,119 I want to thank you for listening. This is my statement. 510 00:32:31,839 --> 00:32:35,240 I put this to rest, and I move forward. Thank you. 511 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: I don't know there's a federal loss that I don't 512 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,799 know if you're putting that to rest. Actually, Sheriff but 513 00:32:39,359 --> 00:32:41,880 I guess he considers himself to be the great spirit 514 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,400 opposing being opposed by mediocre minds, and the final count 515 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,279 there was twenty times he mentioned betrayed or betrayal in 516 00:32:49,359 --> 00:32:52,880 a twelve minute address. All right, that'll do it for 517 00:32:53,039 --> 00:32:55,720 this episode. Thank you so much for listening. I could 518 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,960 not do the show without your support and the support 519 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,880 of the businesses that advertise on the podcast, so if 520 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,920 you'd like, please support them too and tell them you 521 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,039 heard it here.
