A highlight from 120: Part 2: Tim Cardwell is a Top Cop for Drug Interdiction but Nearly Loses His Life
"Let's kind of pull on that dope thread a little bit, because you get onto the, you survive the academy, obviously. So you graduate, you get out, you start working. As you're working, we want to talk about now what leads you into doing drug interdiction. So obviously, when you start off, you're with a field training officer, you go through your training phase, then you get out on your own. What kind of things were you doing initially when you were out on your own? How does North Carolina do it? I mean, you train for a while, then you're out. And standard -like what? Traffic enforcement, work accidents? Yes. Pretty much, is that what you were doing? Change tires, go get gasoline. I warned you, Murph. Don't go there. One of these days, we're going to be driving, there's going to be Murph on the side of the road. You go, hey, can you help me? I go, no. Hey, Steve and I have had many of these constant back and forths on this exact thing. But yeah, so when I graduated the academy, it was 20 weeks, reported to my first duty station and did have a field training officer actually. What was that at? It was in Asheboro, North Carolina, Randolph County, which is on the south side of Greensboro. It was about an hour and 15 minutes from where I grew up, but it was still within the same troop, which was most state agencies have that similar structure where you have a troop and then you have districts within that troop. So that was my first duty station and I had a primary and a secondary training officer and went through, I'm thinking it was at the time, maybe six or eight weeks field training. And my primary field training officer, his name was Wayne Brumley, just a jewel of a man, wonderful training guy. And my secondary, his name was Tony Miller, who later he rose to the rank of major within the organization. He was a young guy who was been on about five or six years when I came on. So I had a good mixture of, you know, youthfulness as well as very veteran experience. And the shift I was on, it was similar type makeup. And so going into the field training officer, you know, having some of that law enforcement background, I had become pretty good at catching impaired drivers at the police department. And so it was a natural... Wait a minute, all the impaired drivers were at the police department? When I worked at the police department, I should say, I apologize. But it was just something I thought, you know, this is where I want to go. And so, and my training officer, he was one of the leading impaired driver troopers in the district and he really focused and was successful with that. He taught me a lot, but, you know, in the beginning, doing the traditional trooper type efforts, that's what my goal was. I really enjoyed it. It's what I wanted to do. And, you know, there's some funny stories in there, but one in particular that my training officer shared at my retirement luncheon and he would share with you today was, this was just kind of an internal trooper agency thing. I don't know if you did this, Morgan, or not, but when you would encounter in the old days, somebody whose license were suspended roadside or whatever, you would take their license there on the spot and you would put it over your driver's side window along the headliner there. Just slide it in there or you'd keep it over your sun visor. And my training officer had tons of those and it was just always something I remember Roger Smith having. So it was one of those little symbolic visuals that I thought, I want that. So I kind of set out on a mission, you know, to see how many licenses I could collect roadside in. So I made a comment to my training officer at the time and he said, you know, there are more trouble than they're worth. You have to keep up with them. And I said, well, that's what I want to do. So he handed me a handful before I got out of training and said, here you go, maybe this will help you feel like a real trooper. And so it was just one of those little symbolic things that I connected with. But in that, you know, his nickname was Brutal Brumley. He was a former military guy, about six foot, six one, thin guy, was very physically fit, marathon runner, still runs today and he's mid to late seventies. developed But he that nickname because of, you know, some roadside encounters, obviously through the courts. And I saw it in action during training. We stopped a gentleman for speeding one day late evening and the gentleman didn't initially want to cooperate. And this was when he had turned it over to me and he was just watching from a distance and, you know, trying to find my way through. This guy wasn't the most cooperative after a couple of requests. So next thing I know, my training officer commences to removing the gentleman from the car and not in how the gentleman wanted to cooperate. And this guy was twice our size. And so I saw firsthand in action, you know, how he earned his nickname. But he was very fair. And anyway, when we got the gentleman under control and took him to jail, he had a long conversation with me about taking control. He said, you cannot let anybody else get the upper hand on you out here. It's because of survivability. So it was a valuable lesson taught at the time. But, you know, I've seen him encounter so many situations where he showed a lot of compassion through accident investigations, as well as roadside stops for different violations. And so he was well -rounded and gave me a good lesson. And but at the time, interdiction was not even in the culture of the Highway Patrol, wasn't even thought about. It was just traditional trooper work. And the county that I went to had eight miles of interstate. But where we worked was non -interstate. And so that leads me into once he cut me loose, passed all my training, I started doing traditional trooper work. And at the time when I joined the patrol, I kind of have to go back here. There we patrol the troopers that have, you know, gotten killed in action. They kind of came in clusters, two and three at a time. And just before I joined patrol, we'd had three members that were killed roadside. And two of those were on interstate highway. And where I grew up, we didn't have interstate highway. So I didn't have any familiarity to it. And so I was like, you know, I don't want nothing to do with that. I just want to be a traditional trooper. But I was very proactive. I was finding a lot of stuff, roadside. And, you know, when I would make an arrest for driving one paired, I took the time to go up and search the car. And if I found anything else, I was making charges. And so I kind of developed the desire to do that. And then in our patrol office one day, my secondary training officer, the gentleman I mentioned to you earlier who had been on last time, he had attended our first interdiction training course, which was taught internally. And I remember him talking about it. And for some reason, it just connected, you know, I connected with it, the stories he was telling, the lessons that they were talking about. And when our agency started the interdiction effort, it was in partnership with DEA. And they had started the experiment on Interstate 95 down in Fayetteville. And the troopers that were working it down there had had a lot of success. They were kind of the first generation interdiction troopers. This is, you know, the mid and late 80s. And so a couple of gentlemen by the name of Chris Dew, who had a first K -9, and Terry Isaacs, who was really the one who was making a lot of seizures at the time, they taught that course. So anyway, he comes back to our district and is talking some about it, and it just captured me. And he had a bulletin that they had given him in that school, and it was an epic bulletin. It was a teletype that would list, you know, seizures from throughout the country of seizures that made the threshold. And so I started reading it. And for whatever reason, it just connected with me. And that's how I began, you know, pursuing the interdiction efforts. Oh, I remember reading those teletypes, too. You know, those were very interesting. You get the law enforcement officers killed summary and then the teletypes. But you mentioned something, too, I want to ask you about. You said that they traditionally didn't work interstate. You know, is that just because of like you're talking about the danger or was it because C is kind of the opposite, a lot of troops where I was at. We had a lot of Tulane, in fact, all of my stuff was Tulane, and you would have killed to be up on the interstate where you thought all the action was. Why did they keep you away from the interstate or why did you stay away from the interstate just because of part of the danger factor or something else? Well, I think it was a combination of reasons. Again, going back to where I said I grew up, non -interstate, a lot of secondary roads. That's just what I was familiar with. And, you know, those folks that had been like Roger Smith and a couple of his workmates, that's where they worked and built their reputation. And so, you know, trying to follow that lead, I think that's why I did that. And my training officer, he worked some interstate, but he wasn't in the interdiction area. He was just, you know, regular trooper enforcement. But that's the way he operated was secondary roads. You know, in that day, you were heavy on looking for impaired drivers. Then, you know, looking for the under the influence drivers, especially on Friday and Saturday nights on evening shift, it was a lot of priority placed on that. And so just trying to fall in line and follow their lead, I think is why I did that. And, you know, but what I quickly learned was what the interstate did bring you was if you were low for the week as far as, you know, number of citations or activity that you had to turn in at the end of the week for the supervisor to see, you know, you could go out there and with high volume traffic, you could quickly pick up on some of your total numbers for the week. And wait a minute, did the North Carolina Highway Patrol have a quota? No, we did not have a quota, but I will say the supervisors did monitor your number of contacts per hour of preventive patrol. That's how it was worded. And you had better be in that district average of what everybody else had. So, you know. I had somebody asked me that one time, do you guys have a quota? Said, no, sir, I can ride as many as I want. How many would you like today? Good response. Yeah, so that, you know, that was kind of my introduction. And then, you know, with my training officer, my secondary training officer introduced me to that. It just kind of took. And so I started going out there and trying it and having little success. Really didn't know what I was doing, but it was just a process of learning from there. And, you know, I was a very proactive trooper. I, you know, did a lot of high production. Got unmarked a car at a young age, young in my career. And anyway, the next time the next class came open internally, my then district first sergeant asked me if I would be interested in going. I said, yeah. And I remember sitting through that class with those troopers teaching it, and it just captivated me. That's, I mean, that's the simplest way. You know, they were given some of their case studies talking about, you know, what their findings were and some of the follow -up results. I thought, that's what I really want to try. And so I came back and started trying to apply. So you started doing this. So what was your first, what was your first big seizure? What's the one that cracked the, because, you know, you have to go, we started it. I was part of a four -person team, four -man team at that time. We started our interdiction unit. And so when you start off, you don't really like say, know what you're doing. You get a few things here and there. We were working 54, which if you remember, the Pipeline Operation report out of Epic, Highway 54 that came up out of Texas and Oklahoma and through Kansas, that was a major pipeline. They were making lots of arrests. So we started working that area. You know, we were stopping everything in sight, you know, trying to look for stuff. But you always kind of start off small. What was that watershed event for you? What was that thing that kind of cracked it open that once you get that first one, it's like, I got this figured out. Well, so this was in 1988. Again, it wasn't the culture of the Highway Patrol. It was just kind of getting started. And so there really wasn't a lot of information to pull from or, you know, a lot of guys saying, hey, let's go out and work this road and look for this. It was just kind of, you know, an individual effort, so to speak. And at that same time, one of the troopers I mentioned early on Interstate 95, Chris Dew, he had had our first canine on the patrol, but it was just a narcotic dog. It was a Beagle. And, you know, some about that during the training, listening to him talk about, you know, the role the canine played that interested me. So when I came back to the district, not long after that, requests came through patrol headquarters or troop headquarters, any troopers interested in having a canine, you know, submit your interest. So I thought about it and I did. And the district commander at that time or the troop commander at that time, who was very much old school, was not on board with this, he was passing it along from patrol headquarters. When I submitted my name, he sent a message back that said, if you want a canine, I think I can find somewhere else in a different place to get you a canine assigned to you, meaning, you know, I'm going to transfer if you really want this canine. And again, you got to understand the internal culture of the organization. So I said, no, sir, no, sir, I'm not interested in one. So anyway, there was another supervisor who had been involved in the early stages of it. He said, I thought you expressed interest in this. I said, I did. But here's what, you know, what I was told. And he said, I'll take care of that. And I was like, oh, no, please don't get me in trouble here. You thinking Lumberton? Here I come. You know what, Trooper Cardwell just told me there for sergeant. And so anyway, you know, next thing you know, I got word that, hey, if you want a dog, we'll assign you one. We're going to send one to the central part of the state and one east part of the state. And you report to this canine school, which was actually in Greensboro at the time. And so we did. And anyway, the school was about 10 days, 11 days. You know, again, patrol hadn't had a program at that time. They were just starting to get into it. And so getting the dog really helped as far as going out roadside, learning what I was doing. And so I had made some phone calls to troopers that I had learned about on this epic Operation Pipeline Bulletin. There was a couple of guys that I kept consistently reading their names. Do you remember a guy named Jeff Faison out of Florida? Yeah, I remember his name. He was kind of the first generation that came along at the time. These other troopers I mentioned that taught us. And then there was some in the area, neighboring states, Mike Ralston and Georgia State Patrol, Benji Hodges, Georgia. And there were some others throughout the country. But I can't remember what it was that caused me to reach out to Mike one day, because I had expressed interest in getting more training. But again, it wasn't the culture. So somehow I made contact with Mike. He worked north of Atlanta on Interstate 75. And where I worked was Interstate 85 and Interstate 40. And I just cold -called him and introduced myself. And anyway, I told him what I was seeking. He said, sure, you're welcome to come down and ride with me if you'd like. I had to take vacation time because I couldn't get approval to go on patrol time. So I went down there and rode with him, spent my own money. And he took care of me really good. He showed me a lot. And then I come back. And we had had another gentleman by the name of Ed Lowry, who had worked on Interstate 95 in Fayetteville in our agency. I had gotten approval to go ride with him. But I had to take vacation time, too. So I went and rode with him. And this was the watershed moment that you're speaking of. While riding with him on 95, he was kind of the hottest guy at that time consistently making cases. And this was when everything was flowing out of South Florida, back when Steve was, you know, he was familiar with all the importation through South Florida. Well, everything those guys were getting was Miami -connected in some way, shape, form, or fashion. And I remember getting in a car with Ed. And he had just come off some days off. And says, he Bo, I don't know if we're going to have any luck. And that's what he called everybody was Bo. I don't know why. That was just the habit of his. But he said, but we're going to go out and try. I'm going to see if I can get you something. Well, the second car that he stopped, it was like that epic bulletin teletype operation pipeline played out before my eyes. The second stop, he gets a four -door, I believe it was a Buick old four -door sedan coming out of Miami, registered out of New Jersey, male -female occupant, and found a compartment built between a rear seat and trunk. And it had like five kilos of Coke. I thought I was just, I was seeing it play out before my eyes. And that just, that was my watershed moment. I was like, this is what I want to do. I had been trying it up to that point with minimal success, but between him and Mike, it really opened my eyes to other things that I really had not been paying attention to, human behavior, the importance of the interview. And anyway, so when I left from there, I was really energetic. And so I come back and started applying it. And having learned to operate my canine, I started looking at things differently as far as my approach and how to talk with people and what to look for roadside interview -wise. And so that first big seizure was a U -Haul that had come out of South Texas, which obviously still is today, but then the major source for our area, it was a U -Haul and it had about 850 pounds of marijuana in it. And once I got that, I was hooked. I mean, I was hooked a hundred percent. Well, let's go back to that seizure of Coke. When you opened it, did you know, I mean, when you saw the bricks, obviously, did you know what it was at that time or did you kind of have to go, okay, wait, you know, I'm just kind of like, whoa, what is this? Oh no, I know what that is. Kind of, yeah. I had never seen a kilo in person. And obviously it had, but I had not. I'd seen many pictures. And so I'm like, well, that's what it really looks like, I guess. So yeah, it was a really good learning experience. Now, so the 850 pounds of weed, that wasn't the case that you and I worked on, was it? No, this was a brother and sister that had come out of San Antonio and they were delivering somewhere in, I think around Richmond, Virginia area. But it's an interesting story on that. We had not had that kind of seizures go through our court system. And when it went for first appearance the next morning, the judge who was listening to the probable cause hearing, he said, he pulled me to the side before the hearing. He said, now, from what I'm told, you can't do this. And I said, well, what do you mean? And he said, you can't just go in and start searching somebody's belongings. And I said, well, I didn't, sir. I said, they gave me permission. And he was like, what? And I said, yes, sir. He said, they gave you permission to search their truck, knowing that they were carrying this? I said, yeah. And he's like, oh, okay. So it was a learning experience for a lot of us through the court process and myself. I love the way the judge was having a preliminary hearing out in the hallway before anybody was even sworn in. Well, again, it's a small community. And anyway, everybody knew everybody. And I'd built a good rapport with this judge. And I just remember that conversation. And once I said that, he said, wow, can't believe somebody would do that. I said, well, he said, where'd you learn to do this? And I told him. And he said, so they tell you to ask people to search the vehicle if you think you're suspicious to want to look for something else? I said, yes, sir. And he said, and they actually do? I said, yes, sir, they do. It's unbelievable. It is. It goes back to your point you were making. If you understand human behavior, if you understand how to talk to them and set the right circumstances, I mean, even to this day, Murph and I were talking about it on our Patreon channel, but at the time, it was the largest seizure of cash in Kansas. But it was only a quarter of a million. I mean, they've gotten much bigger stuff now. And people are going, I mean, they let you search the car. The guy I remember to this day, his name is Brian Lacy. I looked at him. I said, now, do you have anything that would be illegal in the state of Kansas? Guns, drugs, large amounts of cash. He says, no. I said, would you? And one question, one thing I learned to ask was not can I search? Because people always want to say no. I said, would you have any objection if I search for these items? And they would say, no. Well, no meant yes. And he even offered to show me, hey, I got a briefcase here. I opened up the trunk. There's the cash. And in his briefcase, plans for a methamphetamine laboratory. He had a marijuana press. It's like, you dumb son of a bitch. All you had to say was no. And we didn't have a canine at that point. There's not much I could have done. Yeah. It's amazing. I was just thinking, Tim, remember Dave Wilhelm with customs? Yes. Down in Charlotte. And he was murdered in Atlanta. So God rest him. But he called me one day, and I can't remember if it was Asper. I think it might have been Randleman. And he called and he says, hey, Murphy. He said, I got a tip. This trailer out in the country, some Mexicans are in there. Supposed to be sitting on a big stash of weed. He said, I need somebody to speak Spanish. So I met him down there. We took some people with us and walked up to this trailer. I remember that it was a huge lot with these big, tall pine trees. But there were no limbs from like 10 feet, 12 feet high before the limb started. So you had this wide open, we think of as a killing field that you have to go through to get to that front door. But we have no reason to be pulling our weapons out. To go up, like we're going to do a tactical entry. We knock on the door and I get up there and do use my Spanish. And they're like, yeah, come on in. We go inside. I forget how many is 1 ,200 pounds of weed or whatever they'd been using saws to cut it up. But there was an AR -15 sitting behind the front door. I mean, they pulled out and wiped us all out. But it's just amazing. They're sitting on the dope and they're like, sure, come on in. You know, and Tim, I don't know if you remember seeing this video if it was a Texas DPS trooper, but he's on the side of the road and he's talking to this guy in that Texas draw going, now son, you got anything that's illegal? You got, well, and so he's talking and you can see it's the old dash cam. This kid's getting nervous. Now, do you have anything in the car that's illegal? No, he's like, would you mind if I checked your car? And this kid just vapor locks and passes out into the ditch. He goes, well, I'll take that as an admission of guilt.

My handle across all social media at that Kevin show. Please be in touch with me. I love to interact on the top stories of the day. We've got a lot to get to this morning. Yesterday, one of the judges in the federal trials that is the former president is going to face in upcoming months set the trial date for March 4th. This is in the special case against President Trump that Jack Smith is bringing the U .S. District Judge for the District Tanya Chutkin. Remember that name? It will live in infamy. She's rejected a proposal by the Trump defense team that the trial began in April of twenty twenty six long after the election. She instead set the date far closer to the one proposed by Smith and the government who wanted it on January 2nd. And if you happen to be a criminal attorney, please dial me eight hundred six five five Mike eight hundred six five five six four five three. I'd love to have some validation on this, but one of the one of the broadcasts I do here in New York for AM 970 the answer focuses on litigative issues every Thursday night. And we just talk legal stuff. I'm not a lawyer. I'm fascinated by the law. I think that lawyers that that proves a faithful service to their clients and to the government are are valuable people in our society. But I think it's interesting to see this chess match being played to the public in a way as though lawyers wouldn't know what was really going on here. So let me kind of break it down for you. You had the indictment and the the perp walk and the cuffing and the fingerprinting and all the stuff that they wanted to do to try to embarrass forty five. They had their moment in the in the sun to do that. And then they come back and they say, oh, we're we're going to go to trial quickly. We're going to put you on trial on the second of January. And Jack Smith said, Judge, you've got to put them on trial on the second of January. And the Trump team said, no, we're going to ask for twenty twenty six. And the judge comes back and says, no, no, no, no, we can't give you that much time to prepare. We're going to make sure that you're ready for trial by March the fourth. Now, of all the dates and all the calendars in all the world, March 4th is the day that she just happened to land on. I'm just I'm just looking at this calendar and I'm just seeing of all the choices and options that I have here. And you know what? I'm going to go with March the fourth for no reason whatsoever. Except that March 5th happens to be Super Tuesday. And there's however many states, twelve, fifteen, sixteen states in it. I forget the number. It's one of the most important days of the election calendar. This judge, Tonya Chutkin and and the prosecutor in the in the in the Georgia case are both embarrassing themselves. Fannie Willis and Tonya Chutkin are both embarrassing themselves because their behavior begets kindergartners on day one of preschool. Like it's they're not even in the in the class yet. And they're already like goofing around. Here's what happens between now and March 4th of next year. The Trump team will do a number of things in all of these cases, but they're going to they're going to be filing mainly, especially in the in the state cases for a couple of things. They're going to want those cases moved out of the Georgia state realm and they're going to want to put them into the federal realm because the federal system will be one that's easier to to manage and to and to kind of go through. But beyond that, there are a boatload of motions that will be being entered into the record between now and then that they are going to do everything from filing a motion to dismiss to filing an extension for discovery. And let me just let me just tell you on this on this alleged interference in the 2020 federal case that Jack Smith is doing out of D .C. It's my understanding that there are more than 12 million documents. That will be entered into the evidence, and this Tonya Chutkin joke, this this judge, this this joke of a judge laughed yesterday when told by the Trump team that for proper discovery to be allowed, there's no human way that they could sit and read 12 million pages between now and March 4th. And she just kind of giggled like, ha ha ha. Well, you've already you already know a bunch of the stuff that's in there. Ha ha ha. Friends. We talked about this yesterday. The left is trying to systematically dismantle America and they're starting to let the evil be seen. Right. That was my theme yesterday on the show. We talked about it for three hours. This is another example of that. There's there's this kind of open knowledge that this judge is dismissing. The normal procedures that what would be accustomed to any other criminal defendant, they're not going to allow President Trump. Why aren't they going to give him the same rights and the same protections that they would give a serial killer or a gang banger or anyone else? They're going to have to. And if the judge continues this kind of embarrassing behavior, chuckling at the people that are involved, chuckling at the requests that are made. She's there's a there's a there's a circuit court that oversees this court. And those judges have authoritative roles that they play over the over the sitting judge. That's that's in the court. That is Tonya Chuck him. And if they don't want to be embarrassed, if they don't want to have their circuit embarrassed, they will advise their underling to comport herself differently. But I just find it amazing that we're supposed to buy all of this. This is this is the great lie. They sit here and they pull this stuff and they and they set these unrealistic dates. And by the way, I'm going on the record. They would not have made a January 2nd start date. They're not going to make a March 4th start date. You had it is law. His he has a right to an informed defense. He has he has a right to have his defense know every piece of evidence that's going to be introduced as it's introduced before it's introduced. If the if the prosecution has had twelve point eight million documents in their possession and the defense is just receiving and being made aware of what they're going to introduce. They have to have time legally to not only understand what every document says, but they have to process it and comprehend the implication of what that document has to do with within the case. And then they have to have the right to prepare proper defense of those facts. This isn't a kangaroo court. We're not in a kangaroo nation. There are still laws. And I know these Obama judicial appointees and the Biden administration and the Justice Department all think it's hilarious.

Doug and Former US Attorney Jay Town Discuss the Comey Era of the FBI
"Jim Comey. I had to deal with also the Obama administration before you were appointed to the U.S. attorney's office. I had to do the Obama administration under attorney generals and the FBI. I won't be very clear here. My father was a Georgia state trooper, 31 years. I've been in law enforcement all my life. I always sort of joke. I thought the law won every time. I mean, it was never an issue. I got nothing respect for our law enforcement, our FBI agents and everything else. But Jay, and I know you were in it a little bit differently. I will have to say though because of personal experience in dealing with the Comey era of the FBI inside the Department of Justice, will go down. I believe historically is one of the worst. I mean, up there with some of the other stuff the FBI went through that his just really hurt the cause of Law & Order in this country. And I know as a U.S. attorney, when you were in your office, you didn't do the D.C., you had to just sort of work with it. But how is that affected? Good work that our local USA is attorneys doing our FBI agents are doing our local police. How can we begin to gain this back? Because I frankly believe Comey struck page, mccabe, all these guys did irreparable harm. Especially. Well, nobody talks about it anymore. Yeah, and your name in a bunch of people are no longer in law enforcement and for a reason, right? And so and that's kind of where I wish the media and you're doing a good job of it right now, but I do wish that when politicians or the media or even the president, former president yesterday, when they're talking about agencies and law enforcement that if you have a problem with what Peter strzok did, talk about special agent Peter strzok, don't talk about all 38,000 members of the FBI and the good work. They kept us safe last night and they'll keep us safe today. You know, the call to defund the Department of Justice or the FBI that was made yesterday by former president Trump or Matt Gaetz, Lauren bobert and Marjorie Taylor Greene that calls to defund the police by a dozen people on the left. That's chapter one in the book of bad ideas. Period. End

Robyn Pfaffman: Brian Kemp Activates National Guard Amid Protests
"Am here in Atlanta and that governor Brian Kemp Todd has called up a thousand members of the National Guard ahead of possible violence because we had violence here last weekend. Keeping the story very tight, we have a $90 million police training facility. Police and fire, by the way, training facility that is being built into cab county right on the Atlanta outskirt. Right on the border of Fulton and the cab in a forest area. And there was a protest there because there are people that despise the police and so there was a protester by the name of an activist by the name of Manuel turnip 26 years old who shot at a Georgia state patrol officer and then was shot and killed in this. And then a week ago last weekend, there were riots because that person is dead. The rioting for people that don't understand the landscape of this, the rioting was in downtown Atlanta by the Westin hotel, which is in the center of the city where people come and know Atlanta from the Olympics back in the 1996 and all of that and so you're talking about rioting in the downtown area where our hotels and stores and restaurants, but this police facility that they call cop city is easily a good 20, 30 minutes away from there. So again, it's outside agitators that are not totally upset with cop city and are choosing to take down the city over Atlanta in a more of a commercial district where they could really cause that much damage and in a forest Todd is that you can do in a city where there's glass and stuff to steal and setting police cars on fire.

And does anyone really know how much money bill Wang has now? It's not clear. So that's going to be part of this whole exercise. Is this a tough case to make out? Well, it's going to be secondary. The key thing for Bill Wang right now is the criminal charge. That's obviously the could put him in prison for the rest of his life. So this is a civil suit. This is just not as important right now as the criminal charges facing him and pat halleck. I'd like to get your input on something else, Greg. Rudy Giuliani, Republican senator Lindsey Graham and 5 lawyers who supported former president Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the election have been called to testify before a special grand jury in Atlanta as part of an investigation into attempts by Trump and his supporters to change the result of the 2020 election in Georgia. Greg, the Fulton county district attorney has already taken testimony from the Georgia Secretary of State and the governor is scheduled to testify later this month. Together with these news subpoenas, is that an indication that she may be coming close to a charging decision. It certainly seems like a year and a half later she's well along in his path now. Yes, getting into this detailed and the details of what evidences of interest and why presence of each witness is required is described in the court filings yesterday. And in the case of Rudy Giuliani and several others, it involves this presentations made in December of 2020 to the Georgia state legislature, which purportedly showed video of election workers taking ballots out of suitcases, et cetera. It was either a doctored video or edited in such a way to make it look bad, but it was debunked the next day by the Secretary of State. So that's Rudy Giuliani and a few others who were actively promoting that idea that had been discredited by the Secretary of State. And Republican senator Lindsey Graham, who had called the Secretary of State on November 13th of 2020, says he's going to fight the subpoena. And his lawyers sent out a statement just saying that they've been advised that he's just a fact witness not a suspect or a target.

"This is Bloomberg law with June grosso from Bloomberg radio Parents of transgender children in Texas are worried about the state trying to criminalize the treatment of adolescents with gender dysphoria Rebecca Bryant is fearful about the governor's order to investigate parents for child abuse if they're providing gender affirmative treatments for their transgender children He's trying to scare families which is working We're scared He's trying to get us to leave Texas which some of us are The first parents to be investigated for helping their teenage transgender daughter seek gender affirming healthcare are suing the Texas governor and the state's child welfare agency A judge has temporarily stopped the state from investigating them Audrey Perez is with the ACLU which brought the suit along with lambda legal This is a clear example of government overreach and intrusion into the lives of Texas families And their kids attempting to dictate what they can and can not do to support their LGBTQ and transgender non binary child Joining me is Anthony Christ a professor at the Georgia state university college of law Tell us about governor Greg Abbott's directive to the department of family and protective services So it actually starts back in August of 2021 when a state representative had asked the attorney general of Texas whether certain kinds of gender affirming healthcare for minors could constitute a form of child abuse under Texas state law Attorney general Paxton came back in February and said yes there is a strong likelihood essentially that recognized and generally accepted forms of treatment and healthcare for trans children could constitute child abuse under state law And then subsequently the governor using that opinion directed the state's child welfare services officials to begin to investigate any parents who were providing these gender affirming treatments and healthcare for their children to investigate them as child abusers and to potentially prosecute them for child abuse I think it should not go on said that March 1st was the Texas primaries And so I don't think the sequencing in the timing of this is exactly removed from politics I think a lot of this is red meat in order to stir up the Republican base and they're using trans children and their parents for political gain So a state court in Austin intervened and issued a temporary restraining order Briefly what was the basis of the judge issuing that order The judge basically said that the investigation and the potential ramifications of such a prosecution for the parents namely they could be on a child abuse list and the collateral consequences that can come from that always in favor of returning to the status quo that existed before the Texas attorney general and the Texas governor began their opinions in directive to investigate and prosecute these parents for providing gender affirming care And so essentially the judge saw that the risks to the parents here by far outweigh whatever interested state had And of course the interest of the children here is outweighed by whatever immediate action Texas wanted to take It falls short of what the families had asked for which was to stop all the investigations by the state of Texas and apparently there were some other families being investigated There will be a fuller hearing and I think the court will then address more of the merits of the claims that have been brought by these anonymous parents The full hearing is going to be so key to see what kind of remedies the ACLU on behalf of these anonymous parents will want and need and that all remains to be seen for sure You mentioned that both the governor and the attorney general face challengers in Tuesday's primary And in a call with reporters on Wednesday the top strategist for the governor's reelection campaign said that being against medical treatment for transgender children and treating it as child abuse was a winning issue for the governor Why are the rights of transgender kids being treated as sort of a battleground for certain conservative groups That's a great question Certainly I think that the Texas department of family and productive services here is being used in a way to turn its mission on its head and abuse children who are some of the most vulnerable children in American society So that is just a sad display on its own And the fact that there's smoking gun evidence here that political operatives see this as an opportunity that they need to grab onto is quite telling the truth of the matter is a trans folks have been the kind of subject of political operatives or should say they've been in their sights for quite some time now and we can go back to North Carolina just a few years ago when they passed the bill restricting back from access and keeping trans folks kind of relegated to second class status So using trans people generally certainly is not a new phenomenon The focus on children does seem to be I think the truth of the matter is most Americans are very sympathetic to trans issues and increasingly so The courts have been increasingly open to transgender claims and have been particularly welcoming of trans students claims under the equal protection clause and title 9 So to me it's just a really strange dynamic because American society as a whole seems to be headed in one direction The courts have been pretty steadily headed in one direction And yet Republicans in Texas are trying to thwart that momentum So it's really quite perplexing Arkansas Kentucky have passed laws prohibiting gender confirming treatments for minors and those are being challenged So tell us about the wider litigation over.
