4:42 am
4:43 am
words with which we are all familiar. are you certain that the world you live in abolish slavery long ago? oh, is your media reflection of reality? ah, in a world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation, whole community? are you going the right way? or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is great in the world corrupted. you need to descend,
4:44 am
who join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah ah, we spoke to polly fairly casually. we would more often and i'd go out in the car. and just go for a little cruise cuz the more times it out there was a top striving around the parking lot for the college. so that's what they're looking for. so we couldn't now very smart just to sit in the car and there. so we'd just go and drive around
4:45 am
a bed and come back. nothing didn't hurt anybody saw in the worse it did to us or just put us on the couch, watch movies. are we still your camera blazing with the finance? you're doing joy with video. well, you pass a law is, are individuals a, you know, on campus for all dollar order related bible probably maybe our issue in about an else that would be more reasonable. i'd be more reasonable to say your drinks all makes money. campus june out knew more in just to people to give you all the,
4:46 am
all the local so furnished. ah, 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 brace, hearts destroy 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 on crime to foreign crime. while 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
4:47 am
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 war on we had done a couple of stories about them, making drug lies stiffer. they had this enhanced campus related drug lot. so basically if you have a little bit of lead, that would be maybe be a misdemeanor. if you're on a school campus that could be a felony. and so i think that their thought process in 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. local law enforcement was able to go on to a campus where they're had that has its own law enforcement agency. they had
4:48 am
essentially unfettered access to the dormitories on the and dfcs campus. and they could go into the hallways. and to the end to the dorm rooms, you know, this just seems like a, an unconstitutional situation moving to watch it in the number of police blew me away. i was literally, 1st thing i thought was like, there's a cub they get every block is kind of getting used to the imminent danger of the police coming and knocking and find you and you just kind of don't care what i think we had a long night before so i know we were both sleeping, the viper off and, and we had a knock on the door and the heck is not going. i think somebody call me if they're coming over or something, but i got out, but i open the door reminder as to policeman what the heck is going on here?
4:49 am
that we can search a room really? yeah, i guess when you're here. so we just, we opened up the door and they came in and sat on my bed and he 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 was in there. i don't think neither static or i knew within there. when they found that they looked at me and you can go to class, they shoot me away right away. it's kinda odd on that. i went to class and came back from class and i asked him about answered andrew, what happened? whatever happened about days like, oh it's nothing just don't tell anybody about it. just how he hushed me right away about it. tell me not tell anybody i did. mentioned something to eric, but just briefly afterwards because i was in shock that i haven't of wasn't ready for it for sure. ah, drew head whispered something to me it and private with just the 2 of us. something
4:50 am
by the cops that came in lakes research. so a room, no, that's weird, dude. like you know, but dallas something i fell i could have happened to anybody through and to classes like so i didn't, i didn't know i just assumed was fine. more of every day. wafford in campus, police force. mm. mm. i gave him a big hug and thanked him for help and me and he says and i asked him what he's going to do and he says, i gotta, i gotta go, dad, i gotta date, lou. so hug. lehman said,
4:51 am
i told him i loved him and he told me long man on this condo away last last time i seen him. mm. ah. i never was after class. we start heading back to the dorms that an authentic got a call and he's like no longer a party later nosing. yeah, i guess walked up the stairs and he said, i'll come get you when i'm ready and i said, all right, see you later man. and when at one one's flight of stairs and that was it
4:52 am
towards the end of the night as my cap, it takes out. i can have you want to. so you say grad or something. so got me. and then drew is up in the room and we went up and met drew, and andrew had a movie. so he just put it on and kind of bought the movie and sat there and nothing seemed weird. all like just us hanging out like every other day. ever, ah, 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 party was the girl i meant he asked me even if i wanted to come with him. i'm already 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 i wasn't in bed only go see him in class in the morning. so dried don, nothing on me,
4:53 am
injury class and static wasn't a class. i mean, he's late. sometimes there was like, you know, so it wasn't like alarming maybe he's, you know, with this girl or something, you know, no big deal. go to launch the throughout the day. you didn't find any of our tags or me and all the friends. cowards constantly kind of pestering them all day, try and send them snaps, attached to them and stuff throughout the day. just fishing for a reply, trying to see where a friend is as the day went on, we got a class sort of 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. you still have the whole they can, you can see if they opened it thing and you, i don't think he was opening anything. were like that's weird. i think we were just connecting dots and like this is not right. the next day we're like, dude, again,
4:54 am
call someone i guess before lunch or like, well go see if we can't get his mom parents, phone number from the the college. so we went over there and we just asked like, hey, can we get saturday, parents, phone numbers, we can get ahold of them and just see if he's at home or some so they kind of freaked out right away. they're like, what you don't know where your friend is. you don't know like what worries out like what was last time you saw him? we were like, do we just got him in so much trouble? friday at noon and the phone rings. and they asked for andrew, and they didn't identify themselves. and i, and i'm like andrews way at school and they're like, this is the school and said that he was missing. and i'm like, what do you mean missing? he's on campus. he lives on campus. how can he be missing?
4:55 am
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. ah, word has gotten to us at the mighty $790.00 k, a t o in to our newsroom that a young man named andrew sank has gone missing andrews, a student at the north dakota state college of science. now, if you're wondering how andrew static lux, please go to k of cio dot com for that. let's help find him. ah, i had the feeling his bad instantly a new bath. and of course we tried calling him and texting him, and ah, fini maybe had skip a class or 2, but be for missing for a day without letting us know what's going on. that wasn't, it wasn't an hood. and when the never happened. so then right then and there i knew
4:56 am
that it was awesome. awesome, good. ah, we decided just drive down there and see what's going on because we knew it was more serious than jim just taken off. oh, friends gathered on the campus of andy. se yesterday, baffled now why, why would he just do the so close graduation, you know, countless searches and still nothing. we've never had a student missed this long, and most of them we find within 24 hours. so it's been very, very frustrating. we are in campus police sergeant halligan's office in jason weber, came in helga 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,
4:57 am
andrew can ah, the postal service delivers a 155000000000 pieces of mail every year. approximately 40 percent of the world's mail right now. the us postal service is in the fight of its life. is pretty much a bad financial shape. now facing default. the postal service is a cash cow and there was a way to pull money out of the postal service to put into a federal budget. there was a mandate that you're bringing a $100000.00, new revenue every month. the nature of privatization in the us postal service is very much hidden from public view. it's privatization from the inside out, a
4:58 am
big business in money. it's not about the public and given them a service that they deserve. it's not about quality and training workers. it's about with, well, the fund i make no, certainly no borders on the slide to nationalities and you various as a merge. we don't have a tendency, we don't have a back seat, the whole world needs to take action to be ready. people are judgment, common crisis with we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great. the response
4:59 am
5:00 am
it with a nightmare scenario, military confrontation has returned to you. that was a star warning from russia's top diplomat of a meeting with his u. s. counterpart. adding that moscow would not tolerate the beefing up of nato's presence in neighboring states. so i'm sick is may i have to wait months at the u. belarus. border to get processed if a new plan from brussels gets to go ahead and run screw box fam told us the move, throws away the rulebook. we could have managed this easily, but apparently the commission is not very interested in doing that. you know, the news, the cia is embroiled in a child sex abuse scandal that involves children as young as 2 years old with all but one alleged defender going unpunished, according to declassified documents.
