48 hours, people have stood up and we've done what we needed to do while we are doing it while we are supporting the police and they're not supporting us, is something is created starting to create huge anger on the ground. obviously on the main objective is assess, got our families and just to try and keep them safe. and if it's a really bad area to get them out of this. so we've identified a couple of installations, some schools and fields and things like that. shopping centers where we could get families together and come to an indicator and potentially get a support to get supplies. and then people out until proper help can arrive until the situation can improve the use these items people back to the shop by the neighborhood. watch who accosted the luther running with him down the street and recognize the labeling and brought him back. so what do you think with the fact that the close of all back to you?

we're very excited said thank you very much. see you all. thank you. not the scene we've been seeing during the whole week, but it does show that some stories have a happy ending policy. artie hillcrest south africa, or the does it for me? this are i will be back with your headlines and 29 minutes. this is our to international stay with i join me every 1st day on the alex simon show. when i was speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me in a democratic society with free speech rights, words are spoken freely in those words that catch attention and result in something that is beneficial to all have

a place in the market in the marketplace of ideas. and those words and ideas that don't benefit society as a whole tend to get discredited or weaned out of the conversation off through the magic of pull been dialogue through the magic of free speech. so the you as to saying is that they no longer have the competence to respect the 1st amendment. they are not a competent nation, they see the rise of china, and they've lost all their competence. and they're going to repeal that delay the 1st amendment. let me ah ah

i me i me ah ah, my grandfather came to this country in the early 19 hundreds. he ended up buying this piece of land in the early twenties and the homestead in this area. winters can be very brutal. summers can

be very hard, it's hard work. i we live right on the lake here. so we did a lot of fishing and hunting. and as i got older i realized how incredible this was where most kids growing up didn't get this. i where we wanted to keep it in the name me. ah, ah, andrew was really proud of his car and it was his baby. ah, i feel when i'm in here that he's still around me. it can kind of feel the or of

how we felt when he was driving the car. even just it makes me cry came just knowing how much i miss him. i the birthday today it was one of the 1st time. so i'm actually seeing the footage of it happening and watched it happen. the way that andrew was approached

was quick, silent without warning relate, well yeah, i think he was a bowie college kids party, their smoke pot, they drink beer. i think that he was an easy target for them. you can't tell anybody or more people that know if that where it gets out, you know, was, i do know is going to work with you. you can't tell anybody you can't tell your parents. you can't tell your friends, you can't talk to an attorney, you just need to come and talk to me. ah, actually the max was 40 years for 40 years, and that's where, why are you have to go by marijuana for individuals? and then, you know, depending upon how you do and so forth, you know, a lot of this could go away. i was

scandalous. i was, i never seen anything is bad. it is a good possibility that you really get for some time if you don't. yeah, there just, once you learn more of the background, you can understand why someone who had never really been in trouble and was only 20 and trying to get your college would be scared to death. this is way too dangerous for him to be doing. surely they put him in harm's way fast. we cleared up the fast this wasn't right, this is corrupt. they believed him. so i'm not going to be. i know that i read them off me on the

life on the farm. you learn the circle of life, cattle or morn and cattle die and you're always hoping for a good crop. it's very calming and stressful at the same time. me, north dakota, it's a wonderful place to raise kids and we knew that we wanted to be parents at some point ah, right on top of this hills where they shook the fireworks off. usually it's on the 5th of july and there's hundreds of boats out there. and it's beautiful. and we like to take the jet ski and come up the crick here. there's, i don't know

a group of 4 or 5 of us that come up here. ah, there's fun, nicholas came to live with us and the situation entailed that we adopt nicholas. then in there, my sister was having a really bad part of her life. it just wasn't good. and then my parents came up with this idea that we should adopt him. so we said, yeah, we would, you know, okay, can, and so that's how he came to live with us like us. he was a year old, i think when we got him and that was in like 89. so it was pretty early in

our in our marriage, 7 years after we were married, andrew came along. ah, nick, welcome to his little brother. oh, he was such a proud, big brother even though they were 7 years apart actually, i think that was really a good spread. you gave me. i thought it for sure. it's not something to write on me. nick, when he was a country boy, a good hard worker. wasn't really all going at all, you know quiet boy. the nick was working at the

store that day and i left at noon to be in a golf tournament and it was during the summer. so he was working and i'll never forget. as i walked out the door, he was leaning on a carry out, a grocery carry, or kurt said, good luck today, mom marcia tonight. and i said yeah, around midnight and he goes up. help. oh, he got involved with his local gallagher lived a couple miles from here. just got to there one year anniversary and he was gonna make supper for all of us. oh. ready ready ready on. ready ready ready the me

i read years where my son lost his life right here. or i is getting tabitha in a car together. oh, i don't know exactly what happened to sure. you know, he's got broad sighted by a train on 5060 miles an hour. i don't know if they were moving around or something and you know, their teenage kids exactly what happened but it was terrific or. ready are we just

kinda relied on him up for a lot. so wasn't just losing my son like lucian cath, my farming operation. i don't know. use 3 time. i shut down. i didn't work for 6 months. andrew and i went to grief counseling just it was because of andrew that i found back cuz i'm like somebody's gotta take care of this kid. oh, yeah. oh .

whopping. in small town, people know each other and pretty close knit community. i would say there's not a lot of crime, you know, that was a lot of the cell, you know, to mom and dad bringing their, their, their, their young adults to their campus. this is a brand new experience for a lot of them treating. i president john richmond and i want to welcome you for the north dakota state college of science. we hope that you are the heart and soul of warburton is the north dakota state college of science. it is where north dakota and the region come shopping for trade and tech. it is this melting pot of ranchers, of farmers, you've got nurses, you've got dental, you've got diesel mechanics, you've got electricians. i mean, you can come out and make a very good living. right away,

but then there was the 99.8 or some crazy big job placement afterwards and that really caught my attention. so looks like a good place to go on like wow, as where you meet your friends, you're around forever. and this is where you is, where you're, everything happens, you're for years that every person gets the lives and it's going to be the best in your life. oh, i had no idea. what i want to do is have a teacher that says i want to be a truck driver. ironically, the ah, president joe biden invoke civil war parallels with greater frequency. this is ominous and dangerous. unfortunately, it would seem, this is how the major political parties and the media view,

the state of our politics in a war, there are casualties and defeat in the culture. wars can one side bank questions the other the the the the me park fairly casually. we would more often than go out in the car and just go for a little cruise because more times it out there was a top driving around the parking lot for the college. so that's what they're looking for. so we can not very smart just to sit in the car there. so we just go and drive around a bit and come back. nothing didn't hurt anybody. so in the worse it did do us,

it just put us on the calendar watch movies, those are camera blazing. will all be joy video will be badger ration. is their individual that you know on campus or tower, whatever they can buy from. probably if you went about an else that would be more reasonable. that'd be maureen. what is your trans all makes money a campus new more than just 2 people together. you know, the levels don't tell me

public enemy number one in the united states is drug abuse. drugs are menacing. our society substance abuse is a serious challenge for our nation addiction breaks. hearts destroys families and keeps our citizens from fulfilling their god given potential. what's the war on drugs? it's part of the attitude of the nation, not just of, of north dakota war on drugs were on drugs. and it got to be something that you could get elected with you know, you had to be tough on crime. tough find crime. tough. foreign crime will selling marijuana in north dakota is a crime. and so, you know, you start seeing the feds put out more and more money to empower that. and so what happens is, it's like, you know, there's the money,

go get the money. we can have another officer too if we have the money. and so therefore we're dealing with this and we're part of the world. ah, we had done a couple of stories about them making drug laws stiffer. they had this enhanced campus related drug lot. so basically if you have a little bit of weed that would maybe be a misdemeanor, if you're on a school campus that could be a felony. and so i think that their thought process and that was ok. let's prosecute people who are selling to students, or let's prosecute people that are doing something that is going to impact young kids. rather than just the average adult out on the street. the local law enforcement was able to go onto a campus where they're has that has its own law enforcement agency. they had essentially unfettered access to the dormitories on the dfcs campus. and

they could go into the hallways. and to the end to the dorm rooms, this just seems like an unconstitutional situation. me moving to off it in the number of police blew me away. i was the 1st thing i thought was like, there's a car. they get every block is kinda he used to the imminent danger of the police coming and knocking and find you and he just kind of don't care me. i think we had a long night before, and i know we were both sleeping the viper off and we had a knock on the door and the heck is not anything. somebody call me if they're coming over or something. so i got up and i open the door, i'm on the whereas 2, policeman, what the heck is going on here? we can search the room really?

yeah. i guess you're here. so we just, we opened up the door and they came in and i sat on my bed and sat on his bed and lay searched the room for a while. and they turned on finding a little tiny grinder. i didn't, you know, isn't there neither sad or i knew when they found that they looked at me and then you can go to class. they shoot me away right away. it's kind of odd that i went to class and came back from class. and i asked him about andrew, what happened? whatever happened about days, like almost nothing, just don't tell anybody about it and just a hushed me right away and i didn't tell me not tell anybody. i did mention something to eric just briefly afterwards because i was in shock that happened of all ready for it, for sure. ah, drew ahead whispered something to mad in private with just the 2 of us. something by the cops that came in like a search to our room. we're did you know,

but that was something i felt like have happened to anybody threw into classes like so i didn't, i didn't know and i just assumed it was fine. more of every day was in campus, police force me i i gave them a big hug and thanked him for helping me. and he says, and i asked him what he's going to do. and he says, i gotta, i gotta go down. i gotta date. oh, so hard. mm hm. and said,

i told him i loved him and he told me last me and got his current away. last last time i seen him ah, in a labyrinth. after class, we start adding back to the norms and static data colonies like your little party later nosing now, i guess walked up the stairs and he said, i'll come get you when i'm ready. and i said heart feel later, man, $11.00 flight of stairs and i was it for the end of the night is my cap. i take

sad, i can. okay. do you want to so go cigarette or something. so got me and andrew is up in the room and we went up and met, withdrew and andrew had a movie. so he just put it on and kind of brought the movie and sat there and nothing seemed weird at all. like just hanging out like every other day ever. oh, when the movie is over, i remember i was pretty ready for bed. and then eric america went back to his room and static was ready for bed. and then he got up and he's like, i had to go in, sometimes he'd go out and party was the girl i met and he asked me, even if i wanted to come with him, i'm already have asleep, man, you gotta do it. i'll be, i'll be here when you get back when he wasn't there, when i woke up and looked over and it wasn't better than go see him in class in the morning. so dr. done nothing on me.

injury class and static wasn't a class. i mean, he's late, sometimes there was like, so it wasn't like alarming. maybe he's, you know, with this girl or something, you know, no big deal. go to lunch. ah. throughout the day, you didn't find any more tags or me and all the friends coverage constantly kind of pestering them all day, try and send them snaps detection and stuff throughout the day. just petition for reply trying to see where a friend is as a day went on, we got on a class with a supper with paul marsh. and i remember him specifically making more of a big deal about it than either of us. it just wasn't like us to not tax back, not answer, snapshots back on the stamps, still have the whole they can, you can see if they open it thing and you i don't think he was opening anything. were like weird. i think we weren't connecting dots like this is not right. the next day we're like, dude. again, all someone goes for lunch or like we'll go see if we can get his mom parents,

phone number from the college. so we went over there and we just asked to take, can we get statics, parents, phone numbers, we can get a hold of them and just see if he's at home or something. so they kind of freaked out right away. they're like, well, you don't know where your friend is. you don't know like what worries out like what was last time you song, we were like, do we just got him in so much trouble? ah. friday at noon, the phone rang and they asked for andrew and they didn't identify themselves. and i, and i'm like andrew way at school and they're like, this is a school and said that he was missing. and i'm like when you mean missing, he's on campus. he lives on campus, how can he be missing? and she said he's missing and i want to put it on the news and i'm like,

put it on the news if he's missing. oh, word has gotten to us at the mighty $790.00 camp geo into our newsroom that a young man named andrew static has gone missing. andrew is a student at the north dakota state college of science. now, if you're wondering how andrew static looks, please go to k of joe dot com for that. let's help find out. oh, i had the feeling who's bad instantly. a news bad news and of course we tried calling them and texting. and ah, maybe you skip a class or 2, but the missing for a day without letting us know what's going on. that wasn't, it wasn't andrew. and when that never happened. so then right in there i, i knew that was some, some good. ah,

we decided to drive down there and see what's going on because we knew it was more serious than jim just taken off. all friends gathered on the campus of n dfcs today baffled why, why would you just do this so close to graduation? you know countless searches and still nothing. we've never had a student missed this long term. most of them we find within 24 hours. so it's been very, very frustrating. we're in campus, police sergeant halligan's office and jason webber came in all hell and said that jason webber was the one in charge and that andrew was in a lot of trouble with drugs. and i was like, trouble with drugs andrew.

oh ah, it's like you're walking down a street in a town and in the store, windows are negative. in depression, you tend to go into the store and buy those thoughts and take them home as if they're years. in mindfulness, you walk down the street, you still see the sort storefront with the negative thoughts, but you don't go in and buy those gosh. oh right now there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese. it's profitable to sell food that he's fancy and sugary and healthy and addicted. not at the individual level. it's not individual willpower. and if we go on believing that will never change as obesity epidemic,

that industry has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific establishment, ah, what's driving the reason it's corporate, me. ah, us in germany is strike a deal on the nord stream to pipeline. but val action on russia over be alleged a threat to security post by the energy project. moscow insists the pipeline is purely commercial. the worth flooding in china in 1000 years. it has caused the deaths wiped out transport infrastructure reached damn, and sparked it's huge glass aluminum plants, and the situation is said to be getting worse. nobody suggestion keeps nation on the way.
