00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:22.000 And we've we had those in the office. 00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:26.400 Um we have we have um some cool wrist ones uh that people tend to like. 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:32.079 But the courts, if the courts order, it's a county-issued thing, so the county is paying for it. 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:33.440 You get that nice ankle. 00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:35.440 And it's that's taxpayer money. 00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:36.559 Yeah, that's taxpayer money. 00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:46.079 So the state allots so much money and they give it out based on, I think, per capita of the uh population of certain counties throughout the state. 00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:46.640 Right. 00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:51.680 So you you know, each county gets this much to spend on monitoring. 00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:54.799 Well, we had a case. 00:18:54.960 --> 00:19:00.240 Um, we've had a few where, you know, these are we're actually looking at one in Wake County. 00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:03.680 Guys on a$3.5 million bond. 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:04.000 Yeah. 00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:09.839 We're hoping that gets reduced, which is it's a murder case, but they've got him as first degree. 00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:10.960 It should be second degree. 00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:12.960 What first degree is premeditated. 00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:14.000 This was not. 00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:16.240 So we're he didn't know the guy. 00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:16.799 Yeah, yeah. 00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:17.920 So that's a different story. 00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:25.680 But he's gonna have to wear an ankle monitor as a condition to lower his bond greatly, which he can make. 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:29.039 So, anyway, that's kind of along the storyline.

00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:40.000 But what we had one years ago, right before Rob came on, we were in a different office, and I had a call from a group of people that were basically a congregation of a preacher. 00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:54.160 This preacher came from Florida, came up here to our area south of us, and um he um was charged with some some serious charges. 00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:58.480 So he had a um what is it called, fugitive from another state. 00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:11.680 So whenever you get accused of something and you decide you're gonna leave on a felony charges like you did, then you can be put in fugitive status when you're found in a another another state. 00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:13.599 If you're an NCIC. 00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:14.319 Right, right?

00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:54.960 Something that's gonna make you really like work it hurt your ankle. 00:25:55.039 --> 00:26:04.160 I mean, there's a lot of people that wear these things, they're not the most comfortable and they're not pretty, but you know, they also people deal with it, you know, and you only got 90 days to do it. 00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:15.119 So we finally got down to the 90th day, and thank gosh, I mean, he he was such a pain in my butt about crying about that thing. 00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:19.200 And so I I went to the courthouse the day of it. 00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:24.799 I pulled up, and um when when we we first got him out, I had all the information. 00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:27.839 I knew what car he would be in, everything. 00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:33.680 And I I pulled up and I found the car in the parking lot, and I went into the courthouse to make sure he was there. 00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:37.920 So it was our monitor also, so I could see where he was at. 00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:40.960 Because my whole concern is you can cut these bracelets off. 00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:41.599 People do. 00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:48.319 I mean, they they have wires that run through them, so if you cut it, you know, we get a notification that you cut it and you're running. 00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:53.920 As a matter of fact, my old office outside, and I've got it on my website. 00:26:54.079 --> 00:26:59.039 I took a picture of a um probation officer that had it on the back of his vest. 00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:07.680 And I remember I was sitting there and I got a big window and I was looking at the office, and I saw this officer take the lid off the trash can and was digging through it. 00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.039 And I went outside, I said, Hey man, what are you what are you doing? 00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:19.119 He's like, Did you see some uh chunky, chunky blonde-haired guy run by here and throw something in the trash by chance? 00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:26.319 And I said, Yeah, as a matter of fact, I did because I was thinking he looked like somebody but like a thicker version of him. 00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:27.039 Right. 00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:35.920 And I and just when we were talking, he reaches and he grabs his um monitor out of the trash and holds it up. 00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:39.680 I wish I would have got a picture of that, but I I just got one of him rooting through the trash. 00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:45.920 Anyway, um, he's like, Yeah, he goes, he he uh cut that off and ran out of the courthouse. 00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:48.720 Wow, and so this is where he threw it, you know. 00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:56.720 So I say, you know, to people, electronic monitoring has its place, its purpose, but it's not an end-all. 00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:09.759 No, it's it's um uh let's see, for us, it would be more of all right, you got one on, that's great, but if you cut it off, it's also gonna show us breadcrumbs. 00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:10.240 Right. 00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:13.680 It establishes a pattern, is what what it what it basically does. 00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:15.039 People are creatures of habit. 00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:16.160 Creatures of habit, dude. 00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:16.960 I was just about to say that. 00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:17.440 Yeah, huh? 00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:31.839 I'm sorry, I didn't miss too much, but but that's what's that's basically, and so if you if you go day by day, you'll see certain places where people frequent, you know, and that's kind of the purpose of a GPS, in my opinion. 00:28:32.079 --> 00:29:00.000 Um, but anyway, so we got that off the guy, and uh he was so relieved, and I was relieved, and the congregation of people, the the group of people were they were happy, and um so it was

like two weeks later, I believe it was, two or three weeks later, I get a call uh from some guy from the FBI, and uh he wanted to know where I was showing that guy. 00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:02.480 He's like, I know you got a monitor on this guy. 00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:04.640 Um, where's he at right now? 00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:10.400 I said, Well, his court case was a couple weeks ago, like, yeah, that was final judgment. 00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:11.839 I had to take it off. 00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:16.000 And he was like, Oh, he'd say, You you got you don't you don't know where he's at? 00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:19.599 And it's like, well, here's the last address that I had for him, but that's that's all I have. 00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:22.880 I mean, he cleared his case with me, so you know, he's done. 00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:26.400 And uh, he's like, Yeah, we've got more warrants for him. 00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:28.079 So man, it's it's funny. 00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:30.720 I was just looking at this story in the follow-up. 00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:40.880 It turned out this guy, along with this other people, he ended up having to pay, along with this other person, like over eight and a half million dollars in rescue. 00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:43.359 Oh my god, for this, yeah. 00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:46.000 And serving some years in prison. 00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:46.720 Wow. 00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:51.359 So uh apparently um he did get picked back up. 00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:54.319 And uh well, it didn't wasn't a good outcome. 00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:56.640 So things didn't work out for old Joel. 00:29:56.799 --> 00:29:58.559 Yeah, Joel, that's what we call him, Joel. 00:29:58.720 --> 00:29:59.680 Yeah, we're gonna call him Joel. 00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:00.480 All right,

another, there's a there's a few of these preachers, um preacher guys. 00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:13.279 The guy there's one, I can't remember his name to save my life. 00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:17.759 He bought he bought a jet from uh uh an actor. 00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:25.039 Um I I I don't think that's that's what God wants you to do is is buy expensive things. 00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:32.640 You're you're supposed to be set an example to people, you know, just because you might have a successful church. 00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:34.079 And people go along with it. 00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:35.440

know, it lets you let you see kind of what we what we encounter uh from the binding side, not always the go-getcha, because that was a potential go getcha case, but uh that was uh that's just what we you know have to deal with. 00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:36.079 I mean, we have other other stories of those type situations too. 00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:39.839 Um yeah, I've got I've got a real good one I could tell. 00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:42.799 Um we have to say that for next time, brother. 00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:43.599 Yeah, yeah. 00:31:43.839 --> 00:31:48.640 And um, oh yeah, one of the topics we did not get into was young people and socialism. 00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:55.440 I made a nice I made a cool shirt over the weekend because I'm hearing so much about socialism. 00:31:55.759 --> 00:32:16.720 And uh it's again, it's off of uh Rogan's conversation with um how people how young people are kind of like we won't go too deep into this, but how they're looking at it because they're having trouble paying for things, so they're looking at this as that's a possibility to to make them survive is socialism. 00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:18.400 That's that's a slippery spot. 00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:22.559 A lot of businesses have left New York and they've lost a lot of revenue because of it. 00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:23.119 Uh Mr. 00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:23.839 Mundami. 00:32:24.640 -->
