DDMS Episode 30: 1st Amendment, campaigning bs, and would you rather start

What if the person running for your local sheriff’s office couldn’t follow basic campaign guidelines? This episode kicks off with some personal updates, including my recent adventure helping my mom find her dream double-wide home and my ambitious podcast recording plans. We then dive headfirst into the murky waters of political ethics, spurred by a controversial Facebook post I made that exposed shady practices in a local sheriff’s campaign. Listen as I recount my courthouse visit to investigate further, revealing the shocking discrepancies in campaign compliance between candidates.

Join me as we scrutinize the intricacies of law enforcement campaigning and the disparities between city and county crime statistics. Ever wondered how some colleagues manipulate stats and contributions to paint a better picture of their agency? I share my frustrations on this issue, contrasting rural versus urban policing challenges, and the ethical dilemmas of managing a law enforcement Facebook page. You'll also hear my candid thoughts on the genuine motivations that led me to law enforcement, and my disillusionment with those who prioritize numbers over true community service.

We then tackle the heated drama surrounding a local sheriff's election, shedding light on the underhanded tactics and questionable ethics of certain candidates. Hear about my friend's uphill battle to secure a better budget for the agency and the potential mismanagement by an unworthy successor. We wrap up with a spirited discussion on the First Amendment and censorship in education, peppered with a fun “Would You Rather” segment that will leave you pondering life's tough choices. Don’t miss this raw and engaging episode where transparency and accountability take center stage.

Speaker 2: 0:44

Good morning everybody. Welcome to the Deputy Dane Morning Show. I appreciate all y'all for being here. We got some stuff to get into. I really don't know what we're going to get into, but we'll get into something.

Speaker 1: 0:55

Sit back. Oh yep, there's the sirens. I think we're all going to be detained.

Speaker 2: 1:00

Sit back and enjoy the show. Sit back and enjoy the show. Good morning everybody. Welcome to the deputy dane morning show boy. It's good to be back. Well, you know, got a lot going on.

Speaker 2: 1:16

Uh, yesterday took my mom to go look at houses. She found a really, really nice house. I'm pretty excited for it, don't you know? She found a really, really nice house. I'm pretty excited for her, don't you, noel? It's a double-wide, yeah, moving on up, but yeah, so she's got a nice double-wide. Now we just have to get the land ready for the house and then get the house on there and move this over there and this over there. Either way.

Speaker 2: 1:38

There's a lot of things going on, and today I'm actually able to record a couple podcasts, so I think I'm going to record this one and probably one more for the following week so I can get ahead of it. Oh my God, so big things that are happening. I put a post on Facebook that pissed off a lot of people in my area. A lot of people liked it. A couple did not like it, because I called them out for their shadiness. A lot of people liked it. A couple did not like it, because I called them out for their shadiness.

Speaker 2: 2:07

So I ended up looking up the rules on what I talked about last week, and one of those rules was talking about having a disclosure on your signs. So, on banners and signs larger than 18 inches by 24 inches, if you have that, you have to have disclosures like authorized and paid for john doe for sheriff 2024. So and so obviously your name entered, not john doe. So, that being said, um, around the county, my buddy who's running for sheriff, he has done it the right way. All the ones over 18 by 24 inches has the disclosure on it on the bottom, every single one of them, because that's what the ethics commission from my state says you have to do. You have to do so on all the other ones by the other dude. Not a single one is done the right way. Not a single one. Hmm, that's pretty interesting in my opinion. So we have that Then. What you have to do when you Hold on I've got a sneeze. Hold on one second, like you're going to know, but hold on.

Speaker 2: 3:27

Also, according to ethics commission, you have to keep up with all your donations and everything you spend. You have to keep track of everything who donated what, who did this, who did that you have to have a separate bank account. You cannot use a private bank account. You can't use your personal bank account. There has to be a separate bank account just for your campaign. And then, on top of that, everything that comes in needs to be documented and everything that goes out needs to be documented. You also have to have your filing fee, and that has to be put in records as well, and that has to be put in records as well. So me, being a good investigator that I am, I ended up going to the courthouse yesterday to the election board, and in there I asked to see these records. Now this is under open records. You are allowed to see anybody that's running for the campaign to make sure they are doing things right. So I looked into it and come to find out he has nothing in there. He doesn't even have. This is what blows my mind.

Speaker 2: 4:30

When you file to be a sheriff, you get a or file to run for any campaign. Any campaign you want to run for treasurer, sheriff, the clerk, whoever whoever you run for, you have to go to the election board and you have to pay. I think it's like $50 or something like that. I don't know. I'm not running, so I don't know. You have to pay like $50 and that's your filing fee and on top of that you've got a little packet. You do everything you got to do about your organization, blah, blah, blah. A lot of stuff that, well, I didn't have to do because I'm not running, but there's a packet. Now you got this from the election board. You paid the $50 in the election board. All this has to be turned in to the election board. So he was already in there and he didn't turn it in, like he went and paid and didn't even leave the receipt and everything that he paid. You're supposed to do that. Well, that's not in there.

Speaker 2: 5:22

So my question to people that I really am curious about and yes, I'm kind of biased towards my buddy, but at the same time, if you're going to do things right, you need to do things right. Majority of states. The sheriff is the lead law enforcement officer for the county. Now there's some feds that are going no, fuck you, blah, blah, blah. They can still tell feds. No, I mean, they can't tell feds what to do or anything.

Speaker 2: 5:49

It's a weird deal and there's a pissing match and I'm sure some feds will be pissed by me saying that, well, if I cannot trust an individual to follow the small guidelines such as putting a disclosure on a sign or taking the time to file the paperwork that is asked of you to file, and you have months to do this, if I cannot trust you to do that when no one is watching and nobody knows, if you're not doing this, you don't know the rules to it. So that's why I'm enlightening some people. So if I cannot trust you to do that when no one is watching, what else will you do when no one is watching? Hmm, very interesting, very good thing to think about there. So if you're not going to do what you're supposed to do when it's easy, what else are you going to hide? What other things're not going to do what you're supposed to do when it's easy, what else are you going to hide? What other things can you going to do? It's just, it kind of floors me, it really it baffles me.

Speaker 2: 6:53

And then the best thing is he makes a lot of these campaign posts and stuff about all everything that his agency does, and he pulls stats from last year when he was only there for a couple of months of last year, like two months of last year or something, I don't know exactly. I'm just pulling it out of my ass, it wasn't long. So then he pulls the stats of that and then wants our stats. Now there's a little like I'm knowing going a lot about this campaign and I'm sorry if this bores you. I don't know the number to skip forward to. I'm sorry if this bores you, but so in the town, the town has majority of the population of our county, which is 835 square miles, it's like 833 square miles. So if the town has majority of the population, majority of your homeless, majority of your people doing shoplifting because there's not a whole lot of shops out in the county and a lot of these things, of course the crime rate's going to be higher in that area.

Speaker 2: 7:47

So he's trying to compare apples to oranges and say their stats are higher and blah, blah, blah, even though when you look at his personally terrible, he's known to be lazy, he's always been lazy and he's trying to act like oh look at, all we do, they didn't do it. The other day he wrote his own article that he saved a lady that drove into the lake, that he personally went out there and saved it. You could tell he wrote this. I mean it's bad. So this lady drove off into the lake. It is knee deep and he went out there and got her out Because our guys were on a different wreck across county. Either way, it doesn't matter. It's like, dude, you wrote your own thing about you saving a lady in knee-deep water.

Speaker 1: 8:26

Get out of here.

Speaker 2: 8:27

Either way. So he goes on about this and that Now there's a difference between a house that's hit. So in our county we have a lot of people that buy land from out of state for some reason and they leave things at these houses they go to once a year. So when we get a report of, hey, my items are missing, such as a tractor or a side-by-side, I'm like okay, when was the last time you were out here? Oh, shoot, eight months ago. I'm like, oh, okay, so no one's checked on this in eight months. You have no cameras, you have no nothing. You don't even have a serial number or a VIN to the item stolen. There's not a whole lot I can do. I'm going to do my best. I'm going to go to my snitches, I'm going to get information. I'm going to do the best I can. But that's seven or eight months that I've got to track down When's the last time this thing was here and who knows when that's. That's a big gap.

Speaker 2: 9:19

Now in town, if someone's shopless from Walmart, majority of the time you know who they are, and if you don't, you can kind of figure it out and you'll go around. Now they have video of that. You go to a gas station? They still can't. A box of beer, you got video, okay, now the stuff we're getting is crazy. We also don't turn in a lot of nonsense that we can write citations for. The city will take people to jail on something they could have wrote a citation for, because they're not the ones footing the bill for the jail. So we have the jail and we know what it takes to run a jail. They do not. They know what it is to stack their numbers. They are an agency that they like to stack their numbers just to show you what they've done.

Speaker 2: 10:07

There's ignorance on my part and I'll be 100% honest with you. It's on my part. So I take care of our Facebook page. Well, I took it over. I don't know all the laws to it. So I'm taking a class. I'm enrolled and this class is going to teach me what I can post and what I can't post. I don't want to post something that I don't know that I can post. So until I do that, I'm not going to be open and honest about everything, because I don't know what I can legally post and what I can't legally post.

Speaker 2: 10:33

So I'm playing on the safe end and he's trying to say that we're hiding things, and that's what kind of is almost hysterical to me is oh, they're hiding this, they're hiding that, but yet we don't care about padding numbers. To them it's a numbers game, and I'm not talking about their road officers. There's a lot of good people who work there, and some of the higher-ups they are good people, you know. It's just there's people behind the scenes that are trying to run it because they can't run for sheriff because they don't have enough experience run it because they can't run for sheriff because they don't have enough experience. So they're trying to run it from behind the scenes. It's a weird deal. There's a whole lot of nonsense and drama and everything like that. So campaigning sucks. I'm really rooting for my buddy. If he doesn't get it, I'm out. I'm not going to work for shady people that just want to pad numbers.

Speaker 2: 11:22

That's not why I got into law enforcement. I got into law enforcement because I witnessed things growing up. I dealt with things and I wanted to be there for somebody and help somebody. I didn't join law enforcement to be able to be like. I have 743 arrests this month. That's not why I did it. They're doing charges on shoplifting and stuff. Cool, take them to jail. I understand they like shoplifting and stuff. Cool, take them to jail. I understand they're shoplifting, do whatever you got to do, but they want to compare numbers to that. When I'm doing child rape, arson calls more child rape, more rape, stuff like that. I don't think you really can compare apples to oranges, but it is what it is. They feel like they know and they're doing better, so, oh well, forget them. We'll know in a couple days who won. So I'm excited to be over and for that all to be done.

Speaker 2: 12:10

Between my mom's drama trying to get my mom here, the loss of my dad, the family getting the farm going, and then everything with the campaign and working while working cases, man, there's a lot on my plate. There's a lot on my plate. Some of the things I'm debating on is do I want to get out of law enforcement If he doesn't win? Do I go to another agency or do I go do something else? I don't know yet. I'm on the fence. I'll probably go back into law or stay in law enforcement. I don't know. Though. It's just you know, when you work these cases, you don't get to go home and it's over. You know you still have everything you have to do. You don't go home and just go, okay, well, whatever, see you later. No, we still have these cases. We got to work, I'm still calling people, I'm still typing reports at my house, I'm still doing investigating at my house.

Speaker 2: 13:00

You know, if I work at Home Depot and I didn't tell someone the hoses were on the right aisle, I don't OK. Whatever, you know, I don't go home at the end of day going. Oh my God, I hope they don't bring the whole box of mulch in today and I got to put all that mulch. I mean you do to an extent, everybody you take passion in your job are going to. But it has me wondering, do I want to do it anymore? But we'll see, we'll see. We got four days, four days for the election and then we'll know.

Speaker 2: 13:29

I don't think there's a snowball chance in hell that he wins, even with his shady stuff they're trying to do. It's pretty bad. It's pretty bad Even the messages that are being sent behind the scenes, that people are pretty much bribing people. So I'll kind of read you a text message that someone sent me. Now they sent this to me, pretty much showing that someone's behind the scenes running. I'm not going to say names, I'll just kind of say this person. So the message starts off from this person that's saying this hey, are you backing my buddy? And this person goes. Well, he has a sign in my yard. The person talking to her says Okie, dokie, well, we need the other guy in. He's the only chance for a change. But I'm not trying to persuade you. And then, ha, ha, I will say this I can help mold the other guy. With him, there is hope for change. With my buddy, you will get what we already have. And then it falls it up. Okay, by the way, I've transferred all your cases to that other agency and they're on your side. They're appalled, and it's that has taken this long. So, in my opinion, at the very end of that, it's saying well, hey, I'm not trying to persuade you, I want you to vote for this guy and I can mold this guy, I can make this guy what we want this guy.

Speaker 2: 15:04

Now, with my buddy, he's saying, no, he's strong-minded, we can't change him, he's the way he is. But then when there's no, that my, this person they were texting didn't say anything. And then it turns into oh, by the way, that case you've been trying to get done, I'm working on it, I'm getting it done. Now, if that doesn't seem like, hey, vote for him. I'm trying to get your case done. You know I'm trying to. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. I don't know what does. I'm not going to say names.

Speaker 2: 15:32

Me saying this is already going to piss some people off and I don't really care. I don't think they listen to my podcast anyway and if they do, fuck you. So it's just, it's just crazy, it's crazy. It's crazy. I've talked about this for like 12 minutes. That's freaking wild. It's just crazy that it's gone to this of doing that and all it is is because that guy's mad, he can't run. He wanted to run. He talked a lot of shit on my buddy but he couldn't find out he couldn't run. So it's kind of funny. It's like oh, the wind from your stales little baby boy. So it's kind of funny. It's like, oh, the wind from your stales little baby boy. In the irony, it's just.

Speaker 2: 16:14

The thing that kills me is you can tell he's writing the other guy's campaign. The other guy can't type himself out of a wet paper sack and this guy over here is actually well at typing, well versed and well good at what he does and that's selling himself. Hence why he cheats on his wife all the time and gets all these ladies because he's good at selling them. Oh sorry, that's another thing, but you can tell who's writing it. It's obvious, it's blatantly obvious. And then all the points he's going this guy's saying that he's going to do this guy that's going against my buddy is the same stuff that this other guy was saying the whole time. You're like dude, you're not even trying to hide that, you're doing it. You're not even giving two shits, you're just like yep, I'm going to type this up, my buddy's going to read it, and then he's going to not my buddy, his, he's like and this guy's going to read it, and bam. So he's still trying to run the agency.

Speaker 2: 17:03

Wild to me, wild, but it is what it is. We'll see, we'll see how this goes. But it's just funny to kind of sit there and I put all this out there. I put it all out there so people in the county can see, they can see what it's like and all I put in this. This thing was well, shit, I'll read it to you. Let's just do that. I'm sure that's what you want. That's what you want Like dang, stop, no one cares. So I put this I'm trying to say this without saying names and everything. So it says so this is kind of I'm kind of break down with like over skipping some of the stuff I said, the sheriff is a top law enforcement officer for the County.

Speaker 2: 17:54

I personally don't want to share if that cuts corners when no one is looking, that this commission for this state has several rules that have to be done when running for office in the state. Let's start off with an easy one that anyone can go out and see for themselves. Any banner or sign that's over 18 by 24 inches has to have a disclosure, such as authorized, paid by John Doe for share Prime example. This is out of the lake. Go look at both banners that are there. See if one of them, either one of them, has a disclosure on it. I'll give you a hint One does and one doesn't.

Speaker 2: 18:22

And then the second thing I said is go into the election board and ask them to see the folder and you can look at the folder, with all this being said, because this person puts a lot of accountability, integrity, honesty on his Facebook, and so this is what I said, with all that being said, it's easy to put words like accountability, integrity, honesty on a Facebook post. How are those key things hit? If you're going to cut corners on the small things, do you really want to share from the county that cuts corners, when no one is watching what else was going to be done when no one is, then I also put that this person has, we'll just say, a lot of years of experience. I don't want to put because I don't want to make it too obvious. And then I put that someone's trying to sway him. If he has 14 years of experience, why is he allowing people to sway him, and what else can he be bought?

Speaker 2: 19:14

I would rather know who I'm voting for and that they can't be swayed by others' agendas. The citizens of the county deserve to know the true intentions of the one they vote into office. I think that's pretty to the point saying you should know who you're voting for and if there's someone behind the point. Saying you should know who you're voting for and if there's someone behind the scenes doing everything and promising everything. That's not right. You shouldn't do that. But that's just me. I'm ethical.

Speaker 2: 19:40

And then this guy's done nothing, but try to bass our agency that we don't do what they do, we don't do this, but our budget has been terrible. But you can't tell them that, because then they start making oh there's, this is just an excuse for your budget. Well, we can tell you our budget if you want to see it. The problem is my buddy and I have fought mainly my buddy, who's running for sheriff, has fought for a better budget for this year, this next year, upcoming year, and we got it and it's going to suck for him to lose and then this other dickhead get in there and actually get the budget and go oh man, they had a bunch of money. I don't know what the hell they're talking about, but it is what it is. We'll see what happens, kind of going through the loophole a little bit of what I've been dealing with. So I figure we get on TikTok a lot and we do a lot of these lives and you have a lot of these idiots that pop in.

Speaker 2: 20:27

One of my favorite was the other day. This guy was fantastic. He gets on there and he asked me okay, if you're a real cop, because for some reason everybody thinks I'm fake because there's other guys on there being fake, I think it's fantastic. So he gets on there and says I'm fake and he goes if you are real, what do you know about UCRs? Well, I being me sarcastic and I'm not going to sit here and break down on TikTok. Tiktok's my escape. I'm not going to sit here and do what you want just because you want to prove I'm a real cop. So I said, hey, man, I don't know shit about UCRs, but I got a VCR man I still got to worry about my tracking and everything. This dude's like see, see, not a real cop. I just laughed because he was just cracking me up. He says real cop in pittsburgh, delightful fella. So then, uh, I kind of blew him off. The next day I'm on live. He gets in there again and he's like you're, you're really not real, you don't know.

Speaker 2: 21:22

Ucr is I sure do. It means uniform crime reduction. It doesn't, it's, it's uniform crime reporting is what it really is. It's how you keep your statistics is what it is. It's turned in. Fbi does their thing, makes statistics nationwide, does all this other stuff. There's a lot more to it, but that's not really something that I use.

Speaker 2: 21:41

I don't really use UCR reports. I type my report, turn in the DA, do my shit, get my investigating done. I go to court and that's it. I could care less if the FBI tells people in the middle of nowhere that horse thievery is up, I don't care. I don't care if the world knows that it's up. I don't give two shits. I do my report, the state sends it off and that's where UCR comes from. It's all in my program. And then the program does it all. And then it says I don't care, I don't look at UCR reports. I really don't. I don't care, I don't care what the crime rate of Chicago is right now. I don't, I'm sorry, I don't. I'm not over near there, I can't change anything about it. I can do what I can do where I'm at, I don't care.

Speaker 2: 22:21

So this dude then goes to my videos and finds a video where I was acting like I'm on Laverne PD and this dude supposedly says he has 23 years of law enforcement, calls Laverne PD where Megan Hall was, where I made my joke about how I was the only one not getting laid by Megan Hall. And then he gets on my TikTok Going see, you're a fucking liar, you don't work for Laverne PD. Well, first of all, I'm a deputy dean, so it's obvious I work for a county. If you really are a law enforcement officer, you would have caught on that quick. Also the sarcasm and the jokes about Megan Hall. You should have caught on that. The fact that this dude actually called there blows my mind. It was the best thing I heard in a long time. That's fantastic. So people like him try to always ask me questions, you know, try to get me stirred up a little bit.

Speaker 2: 23:16

So I figured we'll start kind of going through I don't know some of the amendments and we'll give you some example amendments and some things that I think is kind of crazy with this woke agenda and the world that we're in now, considering everything that we have had. So we've got the Bill of Rights, you got your amendments. So the very first one I know this is going to be very hard for people to understand this the first one well, it's the First Amendment. So let's break down the First Amendment. I know a lot of people are like fuck, I don't want to do this. Well, I figured we could kind of do it in a fun way.

Speaker 2: 23:55

So First Amendment pretty much says Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, abridging the freedom of speech or of the press or the right of the people peacefully to assemble, and to the petition of the government for redress and grievous. Sorry, I can't. I can't read today. So pretty much what that is saying. Okay, you have a lot of people that come in and they want to know about the five pillars of the First Amendment and you're like, come on, dude, stop, so we'll break them for you. Okay, we'll get it going. Pillars from the Supreme Court cases that have really broke down. The First Amendment it says you have the right to your freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly and petition.

Speaker 2: 24:57

Okay, so, with that being said, I figured let's kind of look at some cases that kind of break this down a little bit. And there's a lot, there's a lot that kind of break it down. But one that I found ironic, one that I find nowadays is crazy to me and is ridiculous, that it's a prime example of now. Okay, so it's called Rosenberg versus the Board of Education of the City of New York, 92, nys 2D 344, supreme Court, kings County, 1949. Okay, 1949. So what this case was was pretty much it was where the school was trying to Hold on. Let me, okay, so pretty much was.

Speaker 2: 25:55

Rosenberg was a parent, I believe, that wanted Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice and Dickens, charles Dickens, oliver Twist band from the curriculum from New York schools on the grounds that they are objective, because they tend to engender hatred of the Jew as a person in a race. The school board refused it. They said no, we're not going to do that. These are books that are well done. They're books that we still hear about. I mean, one of them was fucking Shakespeare's story okay, shakespeare, that's wild. The other one, charles Dickens. These are old books. I mean, this is also 1949, so this is old too.

Speaker 2: 26:34

But pretty much what it was is the court ruled the challenge and both would not be upheld and neither book was banned from the New York City schools. The ruling stated the Board of Education acted in good faith, without malice or prejudice and in the best interest of the school system and trusted to their care and control and therefore no substantial reason each which compels the submission of these books under consideration. Which is saying the school board, the Supreme court, saying no, we're not going to do that, that's not going to happen, we're not going to let you ban these books because you don't like them. What I like about that is we live in a world now where we're banning shit for stupid, stupid reasons. We're banning stuff because someone found a small offense to it and that's it. It's offensive and it's terrible. So what it should be is up to the parents to parent um, this. I mean, yeah, you can't be having like porn in school. Okay, I understand that, but these are well done stories. You know, like they tried to ban animal farm forever ago, but they're banning stupid stuff because certain people are offended. Even publishers stop publishing books because people are offended by little things, like one of them being several more, dr seuss. Okay, dr seuss, we all know cat in a hat, we all know green eggs and ham. There's some books I don't even know dr seuss did, and to think I saw it on Mulberry Street. So on Mulberry Street, there's a part in there where it's everyone going and there's a point where there's a China man who eats with sticks. There's a lot of people in the United States that want to eat with chopsticks, just to say they can do it. So in this picture they have a little Chinese man who's running down the road, I assume, or just kind of running, and he's got a bowl with chopsticks and it says a Chinese man who eats with sticks. Okay, well, okay. So that's one of the ones that they're taking off because it shows a china man eating with sticks. That is freaking nuts to me, okay. So there's one.

Speaker 2: 28:57

If I ran a zoo I'll hunt in the mountains of zomba matant with helpers who all wear their eyes at a slant. Okay, sure you could say, oh my god, that's racist, oh my god they're. They're talking about asian people and slant, you took it there. He never says asian people, you took it there. Now the people they look asian, they got it doesn't matter. Like, if you can't read a book in, like in the mountains of zomba. Let's see if that's even a real fucking thing. All right, let's see if Zamba Ma Tant. Is that even a real fucking place? No, it's not. Uh, no. So zomba matant is a mountain range in a fucking child's book. Now he says with her eyes okay, holy, fuck me, that's crazy. Next he might say that fat white people live in trailers. I don't know. Let's see what else says. All right, one of the other ones that they took down is it's called Super Egg Scramble. Okay, now it says so.

Speaker 2: 30:12

I telegraphed north to some friends near Fazol, which lived 10 miles just beyond the North Pole. Okay, fazol just rhymes with North Pole. He's writing a damn Dr Seuss Pole. Okay, fazole just rhymes with North Pole. He's writing a damn Dr Seuss books. Okay, so people got offended because he has these people in like jackets, looking like Inuits, with like a hood, but they're grabbing like some like bird that has an egg way up on some like, I guess, an iceberg, I don't know either way. So it's a make-believe things. Dr Seuss, a make-believe place, he said 10 miles North of the North pole, um, so okay, that's pretty, pretty high, and they they're from Fasol.

Speaker 2: 30:59

So again, we have a make-believe place, just because it's cold and they're wearing jackets with fur hoods. Now people said that's offensive to Inuits. So let's see what else we got going on. All right, we got another Eskimo, inuit one. So it's called McElliot's Pool, okay, and they're saying McElliot's Pool has these fish swimming from hudson bay, which isn't anywhere near the arctic. So again, we're coming up with make-believe names. Yes, hudson bay is cold, but it ain't going to be all the way up in the arctic. You have some fish swimming with hood like like the fur around the hood kind of look like a lion mane, okay. So then we have another Inuit or Eskimo thing and people are offended that these fish that are make-believe fish in Hudson Bay have furry hoods.

Speaker 2: 31:57

Okay, so let's go to the next one, and these are books that the publisher said they'll no longer publish because they're racist. Let's go to the next racist idea. The next one is on beyond zebra, where they show a man that's nazim hazim hell, I don't know, and it's a dude riding a camel. Doesn't say anything about a race, but has a dude riding a camel and he looks like he's a dude that would be riding a camel. But this camel also has like really long horns. It has a coffee mug, a fishing hook, an umbrella, a cricket in a cage and maybe a flyswatter Hell, I don't know what that is. So that's another offensive one. You have a dude named nahim azim and it's it's offensive. Fuck. That really pisses me off get off the camel.

Speaker 2: 32:51

You offensive son of a bitch. So these books are pretty much being banned and the company is no longer producing them because of the racism in them. Now Now go back to Rosenberg versus the Board of Education. If people would stand up and fight for this stuff. It's stupid that we have so much stuff being taken down and there's some stuff that is terrible that if you actually read or you do and learn about it, you learn that it was terrible and you say we shouldn't do it again. If we hide everything that's offensive, if we hide everything that shows our history that might have done something crazy, if we hide it all, we can't learn from it. You can't learn that that's wrong. You can't learn oh my God, we did what. You can't learn this stuff if we just hide it. You're hiding books because they depict people.

Speaker 2: 33:46

Do chinese people eat with sticks? Hell, I've never been there, but every time you go to a chinese place there's fucking chopsticks. And you always have that one dick-headed friend that goes there all the time. He's like oh, you don't eat with chopsticks, you eat with a fork. Yes, motherfucker, I'm not from china, okay, I eat with, I eat with fucking force. I don't like chinese food. Nothing against chinese people or the food. I just don't like it. It's not my thing, I don't, I. I I'm a picky eater, so I don't really go that much. But you always have that one friend's like I only eat with chopsticks when I eat this cool story, dude, you want a cookie, but either way, it's like we are now taking offense over the stupidest things like why? Why are you going to take offense over Dr Seuss book making up words? There's made up words. I mean, it's crazy, crazy. And that's the kind of stuff that we're dealing with. You know, if you can't have the freedom of press, freedom of speech, freedom of religion or assembly or petition, then what are we doing? Why are we doing what we do? So you get a lot of people that complain about what I do. Is it not freedom of speech? Do I not have freedom of speech?

Speaker 2: 34:50

Now, your platforms have their own rules and guidelines, because you're on a private platform such as Facebook or something, but the fact that people want to cry about it, it's crazy, it's crazy, it's crazy. It just doesn't make any fucking sense. And there's so many. You can type in First Amendment and go Example Cases and you'll find so many. So you have your amendments, you have case law and you have statutory law. Statutory law something's passed. Case law is things that have done to challenge whatever's done.

Speaker 2: 35:23

So in this case, the Rosenberg, they probably went to I can't really find a whole lot on it because it's 1949, they probably went to a local court. It didn't really go the way that one of them wanted, so they appealed it up to the Supreme Court. So now it's in the Supreme Court and that's Kings County 1949, and that's Kings County 1949, and that's how it happens. That's how you get a lot of this case law. That's how you get things like Tennessee v Garner, terry v Ohio, stuff like that cases that really outline the way we can do things. So, that being said, now look here. Now we're banning books because certain people find offense to them, because there's a dude that has slanted eyes, eating noodles with a fucking stick and they're held like chopsticks. It's not like he's out there with a tree branch eating out of a bowl. So prime example of First Amendment right there. And there's even court case to back up stuff like this Rosenberg First Board of Education of the City of New York, 92, nys 2D 344. Supreme Court, kings County 1949.

Speaker 2: 36:31

So this is a case from 1949. That is a notable First Amendment court case. You can look this up. And they were trying to block the Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare wow, and Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens you can look this up. And they were trying to block the merchant of venice by william shakespeare wow, and oliver twist by charles dickens prime example. You can pretty much find an example of anything you want.

Speaker 2: 36:54

So we've gone over the first amendment, the five pillars of the first amendment and what the first movement states, pretty much freedom of speech. Um, it covers a lot of stuff. People go on about the US flag code, but then the US flag code, if you do something it could be a violation of your First Amendment. It happened in Texas. I think it was Texas versus Johnson, texas versus Johnson, texas versus Johnson is a pretty much. He burned an American flag and it pissed people off. Texas had a law against it. He was arrested. Now, when Texas versus Johnson happened, he was arrested and he was taken in.

Speaker 2: 37:36

I think the Supreme Court ruled that five on Johnson's side and four on the state side, meaning that four people of the Supreme Court said no, you can't be burning a flag like that. Five people said you have violated his First Amendment by not letting him have freedom of speech to burn that flag. So, yes, burning the flag pissed a lot of people off. Disrespect to the flag pisses a lot of people off, but your First Amendment protects that, unless you do some crazy things like burn an American flag, throw it into a building, catch a building on fire, something like that. But 4 said no, you can't do that shit, texas is right, keep his ass in jail. 5 said no, you can't do that shit, texas is right, keep his ass in jail. Five said uh, no, you can't violate his first member. Right there you go. Five to four, he wins. That's a case you can look up. That's Johnson.

Speaker 2: 38:33

Where did I put that? I put that, oh yeah, texas versus Johnson, texas versus Johnson, texas versus Johnson is a 1989 case. It was decided in 1989. It might have been like 1987 or shit, I don't know. But 5-4, that burning the flag of the United States was protected under the First Amendment of the US Constitution because it counts as a symbolic speech and political speech.

Speaker 2: 38:59

So if we're going to sit here and ban everything, if we're going to ban books, you're going to tell people they can't do what they're doing, would that not be a totality of a government? I mean, if they were telling you you can't do these things, would that not be? I don't like communism where they're saying you can't do what you want to do. So there's things like this and there's a bunch of case law. On the First Amendment. There's a bunch of cases, so all these go to cases. So anytime that I take someone to court, it goes so-and-so versus so-and-so. Normally it's like the county versus their name and then if it turns up to they take it up, then it'll be like the state versus your name, and then every now and then, when the feds get involved, it's us versus your name. I don't want that at all. Um, but there's a, there's a. There's a lot of it. So I don't know things to learn, things to know, and you can do this about anything. You can go to google, say first amendment, you know, pull it up, say first amendment, court example, case examples, and it'll pull up a bunch of cases.

Speaker 2: 40:01

So like when people are like oh, you're just creating a flag on my uniform, cause I have that one that's on my uh pouch, that's on my vest. First of all. It's not. That was never made. An American flag I didn't have an American flag made and I added to us. It's not really desecration, I I've made and I added to it. It's not really desecration. I didn't alter the American flag Either way. It's still covered in the First Amendment.

Speaker 2: 40:29

People lose their mind. I don't know. To each their own. You want to throw a fit, you throw a fit, you know better than me. Fine, but I figure we can start doing these every so often and, yeah, we'll start going through each one. So now we've done the First Amendment. I don't know if you can figure this out, but I'm thinking the second one that we do might be the Second Amendment Could be lost, I don't know. So I figure we can go through these. I think last week we did Tennessee v Garner, going over that Supreme Court case which pretty much dictated use of force when it comes to lethal force. So now we've done that and I'm going to start doing something fun at the end I think we should do some would-you-rather questions.

Speaker 2: 41:12

I think that'd be kind of fun, just to change it up a little bit. So give me a second to set this up. Hold on one second, all right, guys. So we're on episode 30. So I figured what we can start doing is start doing a. Would you Rather, at the very end? So go to my TikTok, I'll have it in the TikTok for the Deputy Day Morning Show. Go to the TikTok and answer the question and give me kind of like a little reason. So first question, I think is kind of fitting for who we are Would you rather be in jail for five years or be in a coma for a decade, which is 10 years for the people that don't know?

Speaker 2: 41:55

So, would you rather be in jail for five years or in a coma for 10? In jail for five years or in a coma for 10. Hmm, decisions, hmm. So if you're on the podcast, go over to TikTok and tell me what you'd rather If you are watching us on TikTok. This is on the podcast of Deputy Day and Morning Show, on episode 30, at the very end.

Speaker 2: 42:25

So, oh, sorry, hold on one second. So that's the question I'm personally going to. Man, that's hard. You're going to lose five years in jail, but I'm telling you right now jail ain't pretty. You're around dudes that are, it stinks. You're around people that stink. You stink. Everything stinks. Food sucks. You do have cable, you do get free meals, but then everything is kind of put back. Or would you rather be in a coma for a decade? So I'm going to have to probably go a coma.

Speaker 2: 42:58

But I'm scared about the coma, because what if somebody pulls the plug? What if they come in, pull the plug? Now, it's twice the amount of time. I understand this, but man, fuck, that's a hard one, dude, I don't know. That's 10 years of your life or five years of your life. Now, five years is half the. I was going to say it's a lot less time, which is half the time.

Speaker 2: 43:26

But you're stuck in a nasty jail with other nasty people, and I'm not just saying they're nasty people because they're in jail, I'm just saying jail's a fucking nasty place. Um, you have too many. You have a lot of people there and I don't want to go to jail. I've worked in jails. I don't want to be in a jail. I like to be able to go home at the end of the day. So, oh, I want to. Man, I don't. I'm going to say coma, but man, there's so many like you're going to pull the plug on me at seven and then, like I'm gambling, like all right, I do three more years and three more. Oh fuck, they pulled the plug, dude, I don't know. I don't know. That is 10 years you're losing. Harbor would be 13. Blakely would be 11, almost 12. Oh, shoot Pickles. Hmm, but I don't have to worry about dropping the soap if I do 10.

Speaker 1: 44:26

Oh God.

Speaker 2: 44:29

I think I have a better chance that my wife would stay with me if I was in a coma. I think I'd have a better chance of afterwards coming out, and so they're still there. You know what I mean. Because like you come out and they're like, oh my God, my baby, you have been in a coma, blah, blah, blah, and they feel sorry there. You know what I mean, because like you come out and they're like, oh my god, my baby, you have been in a coma, blah, blah, blah, and they feel sorry for you. Now if you go to jail, to my opinion, when you go to jail it's kind of like your own selfishness, like you did something like I watch all these women to hang around these dudes that go to jail for five years or go to prison for five years, and like they stick around but it's because their dude was doing illegal stuff, like stealing stuff, so he could just support the drug habit. So that's kind of like man, I don't know, I I still I man. I think I'm gonna go with coma. I think I have a better chance, my wife still being there. I lost some years of my kids life, but maybe those extra five years gave me the rest my body needed and I'll come out feeling a lot better. Huh, huh. That being said, I'm going coma. I, I, man, I don't know that's hard, but I don't want to be in a jail and then drop the soap and then my wife not be there when I get out. My kids hate me because I chose that, that life, instead of my kids. Yeah, I'm gonna have to go coma. I think I have a better chance to keep my family together. As weird as that sounds, they lose me for an extra five years, double the amount of time. But, man, yep, I'm going coma.

Speaker 2: 45:52

What would you do? Like I said, go to the TikTok, answer it, tell me what you would do. And yeah, that being said, guys, everybody, have a wonderful, wonderful week.
