00:00:00.000 54 years you've been the sheriff, Polk County, you're probably one of the most decorated, well-respected sheriffs in all of America, quoted, respected, people want more people like you.
00:00:10.440 I'm sure a lot of counties wish you can retire from Polk County and go to their county to make it even safer.
00:00:16.680 Have you ever experienced any terrorist attacks, any terrorist threats in the county you're a part of?
00:00:22.720 Was there anything that happened that was linked to terrorist attacks?
00:00:26.920 You know, we work a lot of intelligence, and we work with our federal and state partners,
00:00:31.500 and we have prevented things like that.
00:00:35.220 We see what I call microcosms of people that have that attitude,
00:00:41.180 and quite frankly, I think it is encouraged by social media today.
00:00:48.400 But as compared to what you see potentially in major cities, no.
00:00:54.060 So the question is, you know, why not?
00:00:57.880 Well, we have a robust intelligence system.
00:01:00.620 We have a real-time crime center.
00:01:02.580 We're connected with all the state and federal folks that do intelligence.
00:01:10.500 And our goal is to, if you see something, hear something, say something.
00:01:14.720 We not only say that for the constituents to us at the sheriff's office,
00:01:19.380 but if we see something or hear something, we say something to our colleagues.
00:01:23.680 So the goal is to prevent that from occurring.
00:01:25.620 So we've not had a major event in our community, which is now almost a million people.
00:01:31.880 A million.
00:01:32.080 So that's a good-sized county.
00:01:33.280 Have you had any major fraud like some of these cities you're hearing about, Minneapolis, some of the fraud that's happening?
00:01:39.240 And if you have had it, how do you deal with it?
00:01:41.360 Because you were just on yesterday, I believe, just 17 hours ago, talking about a conspiracy theorist who thought the earth was flat.
00:01:49.820 Did he kill somebody or try to kill somebody?
00:01:51.900 I think this was just yesterday.
00:01:53.140 Yes. No, he didn't kill anyone, but he truly believed that the earth, we call them flatlanders.
00:02:01.200 He truly thinks the earth is flat, you know, but he's a nut job.
00:02:05.320 The reality of it is all of these terrorists, all of these people who do this outrageous thing is crazy.
00:02:14.740 Normal people don't kill people.
00:02:17.360 Normal people don't want to blow up buildings.
00:02:19.740 Normal people don't want to attack our country.
00:02:23.140 So those are all dangerous folks, but they're not, as we say in Polk County,
00:02:28.680 they're not just right.
00:02:30.500 They've got to hit you in their giddy-up.
00:02:32.640 They've got to hit you in their giddy-up.
00:02:33.840 That's right.
00:02:34.560 And what does that mean?
00:02:35.540 That means they're crazy.
00:02:37.200 They're crazy.
00:02:38.060 Stone-cold crazy.
00:02:39.960 So how do you filter stone-cold crazy versus regular people?
00:02:43.900 Do you look at patterns?
00:02:45.620 Is there certain things you notice?
00:02:47.140 You've been in this business for a while.
00:02:48.500 Well, past conduct is a clear indicator of future behavior.
00:02:52.400 Got it.
00:02:52.540 So people who are disruptive, that are criminals, that are threatening in the past,
00:02:58.120 until they do something that we can deal with them in prison,
00:03:03.100 they're going to do the same thing in the future.
00:03:04.780 Got it.
00:03:05.220 So maybe culturally it's a different thing.
00:03:08.340 You know, this whole thing with Vagitamin and PPD podcast started with a phone me and Mario.
00:03:11.500 That's it.
00:03:12.260 And it grew today to, you know, 15 million subscribers almost and 164 full-time employees.
