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 were it gets all 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. actually, the max is 40 years or 40 years out. that's where we 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 can go away. i was scandalous. i was, i never seen anything is bad. it is a good possibility that your, your personal time if you don't. yeah, there just, once you learn more of the background,
7:34 pm
you can understand why someone who had never really been in trouble and was only 20 and trying to get through college would be scared to death. this is way too dangerous for him to be doing fairly. they put him in harm's way, fast. we cleared up faster, you know, so this wasn't right, this is corrupt. they believed him. so i'm not going to be there. i know that i rather than me on the life on the farm,
7:35 pm

7:37 pm
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 all me thought it for the sure. it's not something to write on me. nick, when he was a country boy, a could hard worker wasn't really all going at all. 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,

7:40 pm
farming operation. i don't know. 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. i come, i gotta take care of this kid. oh yeah. oh, i was in small town, people know each other and pretty close knit community. i would say there's not
7:41 pm
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 while it's in 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. like wow,
7:42 pm
as where you meet your friends, you're around forever. 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 use 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, in the pacific leg around the world expedition 5000 miles round the clock in the dead calm miss wilson in every country close by. it like the
7:43 pm
crew. gavin's food and water. and to check those for sure. i know i got everybody locked down or almost no food and no water. but really, i'm not sure somebody should be in the coven, you're living like the female of own. but in the 21st century. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation. let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,
7:44 pm
very political time. time to sit down and talk to me the news the we thought ours fairly casually. we would more often than not go out in the car 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'd just go and drive around a bit and come back. nothing didn't hurt anybody in the way they did to us or just
7:45 pm
put us on the calendar watch movies. those are camera glazing will be doing joy, that video will be faster. is there individual that you know on campus or on tower or whatever they can buy from probably yeah. if you want about else that would be more reasonable. we are able to say your trans all makes money, a campus new more in just 2 people to get the, you know, the level. so tell me
7:46 pm
public enemy number one in the united states is drug abuse, drugs or 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
7:47 pm
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 that has its own law enforcement agency. they had essentially unfettered access to the dormitories on the dfcs campus. and
7:48 pm
they could go into the hallways. and to the end to the dorm rooms, this just seems like an unconstitutional situation. moving off 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 you 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. but so i got up and i open the door mind whereas 2 policemen and what the heck is going on here? they asked me to search the room really? yeah, i guess you're here. so we just,
7:49 pm
we opened up the door and they came in and i sat on my bed and sat on his bed and they searched the room for a while and they turned on finding a little tiny grinder. i didn't even know isn't there neither sadder 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 it, andrew, what happened? whatever happened about days like nothing, just don't tell anybody about it and just hushed me right away and i didn't tell anybody. i did mention something to eric just briefly afterwards because i was in shock that happened of wasn't ready for it's for sure. ah, drew had whispered something to med in private with just the 2 of us. something by the cops. i came in search through our room and i think it's weird like, you know,
7:50 pm
but that was something i felt like have happened to anybody threw into classes like 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 ask money is going to do. and he says, i gotta, i gotta go down. i gotta date. oh so hard them and said i told him i loved him and he told me last me and got his
7:51 pm
current away. last last time i seen him. ah, i never was. after class, we start adding back to norms. lan, static got a call and he's like he on the party later nosing. now, i guess walked up the stairs and he said, i'll come get you and i'm ready and i've been hurt. feel him in $11.00 flight of stairs and now is it towards the end of the night as my cap takes out. i can have you want to so say grad or something. so got me. and then drew is up in the room
7:52 pm
and we went up and met drew, and andrew had a movie. so he just put it on and kind of got the movie and sat there and nothing seemed weird. all like just hanging out like every other day ever when the movie is over, i remember i was pretty ready for bed. and then eric mayor goes, 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 tardy was the girl i meant 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, i woke up and looked over his. i wasn't in bed, i see him in class in the morning. so dried done, nothing on me. injury class and static wasn't a class. is late sometimes there was like, you know,
7:53 pm
so it wasn't like alarming maybe he's, you know, with this girl or something, you know, no big deal. go to lunch throughout the day. you didn't find any more tags or me and all the friends coverage constantly kind of pestering them all day. i try and send them snaps, attached to them and stuff throughout the day. just petition for a reply, trying to see where a friend is as a day went on, we got a class where to 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 and sorry, snapshots that's back on the stamps. i still have the whole they can. you can see if they opened that thing and you i don't think he was opening anything. were like that's weird. i think we weren't connecting dodson or like, this is not right. the next day we're like, dude, again, call someone i guess for lunch or i will go see if we can get his mom parents,
7:54 pm
phone number from the college. so we went over there and we just asked to take, can we get statics, parents, phone numbers, so we can get ahold 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 saw me? 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 don't know why andrews 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 his on campus, he lives on campus. how could 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
7:55 pm
the news if he is missing. oh, word has gotten to us. at the mighty 790 came into our newsroom and 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 g o dot com for that. let's help find out. i had the feeling who's bad. instantly knew his band, and of course we tried calling them and texting them and ah, i mean 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 one of the never happened to me. so then right in there i knew there was some, some good. ah,
7:56 pm
we decided to just drive down there and see what's going on. because we knew it was more serious than jim just taken off. our friends gathered on the campus of n dfcs today baffled why, why would you just do this? so close 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 from the office in jason webber, came in all elegance 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
7:57 pm
the the ah me ah, the thing in the koran attributed to the prophet mohammed, the dreams are threefold. sometimes they represent divine guidance, sometimes sorrow from the devil, and sometimes there about the conflict of dated living and past events. this
7:58 pm
applies also to women's rights in afghanistan, today, encouraged in the past to live out their dreams of being fully fledged human beings, african women. and now being told that this amounts to satanic possession when they turn to. and i'm, what can they count in this time of existential struggle? ah, i have often said transparency for the powerful receive for the last bit cares about privacy. what people care about is power. julian, a son just become a symbol of the battles of brevity. information is power, that's what's going on and a huge struggle with government and corporations who want to keep information secret and others who think democratic rights should be pushed forward. and people have
7:59 pm
a right to know what to do. watch houses help to shift the conversation around transparency and see what that has done to him. i feel like julian's life might be coming to an end. we are in a conflict situation with the largest and most powerful employer in such a situation. it's remarkable piece of ice. oh no, no, no, borders blind to nationalities emerge . we don't have authority. we go to the back seat. the whole world leads to take action and be ready. people are judge. 2 governors crisis and we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in our own way,
8:00 pm
but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenges for the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes it feel very proud that we are together now on this weekend, on the 20th anniversary of the 911 terror attack, the f. b, i released the declassified document about those who carried out the atrocity with the files, though essentially repeating known fact and adding no information on possible saudi involvement. reports suggests the u. s. mistakenly targeted an afghan aid worker and a drone strike, killing him and 9 members of his family. we heard from a former american drone operator who told us of his own experiences, killing innocent people. every shot that we turn like they're cheering,
8:01 pm
they're congratulating each other. they're high fiving each other people are
