• 1:30
  Speaker 1: be the craziest place in America. And it's not even close.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I'm at the point where I truly believe these stories
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: we see about Florida in the news. They're not even real.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: It's just all satire and somebody writes these things just
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to make us laugh. And today is no exception. I'm serious.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Florida stories are so good. Okay, I could literally give
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: these officers Donkey of the Day based off the headline
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: alone on CBS News. Okay, just the headline. Would you
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: like to hear the headline? Listen? Remember this in Florida. Now, no,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the headlo wait wait wait, remember this is Florida. Okay,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: now that you know this is Florida, listen to this
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: headline because you know it's good. A blind man was
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: arrested after an officer thought he had a gun. Did
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: you hear what I said? A blind man was arrested
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: after an officer thought he had a gun. Oh, and
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I forgot the most important part of the headline. It
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: was his cane. I can't make this kind of stuff up.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Let's go to NBC News for the report. Please. Police
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: arrested sixty one year old James Hodges and he was
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: charged for resisting an officer in late October on Marion
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Avenue and Duvall Street in downtown Lake City. The bodycam
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: video starts off with the deputy stopping Hodges asking him
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: what's in his pocket? What's from? I am? Actually? What's
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: your name in data? Birth? If right now? Hodges then
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: asked the deputy what her suspicion was, and the deputy
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: responded that it looked like he was carrying a gun
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: in his pocket. Shortly after, he takes the walking stick
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: out of his pocket to show the deputy that it
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: is not a gun. Detained, Yeah, you are. What's your
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: name in dataverse? Yes there. Hodges showed his walking stick
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to another deputy at the scene. The deputies then handcuffed
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: him and took his driver's license out of his pocket.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: The sheriff's office declined to do an interview, but posted
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: a statement on Facebook that says, in part quote, we
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: are aware of the Columbia County Sheriff's Office body camera
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: video involving the arrest of mister James Hodges on October
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: thirty first. Sheriff Hunter is troubled by what he has
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: seen in the video, and the matter is being addressed.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Police was stook a blind man's walking stick for a gun? Well,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I have to ask in this situation, who's really blind?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: What's the point I haven't visioned? If you can't see
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Paul Stevie wanted to better stay out of the Sunshine State.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Imagine Stevie Wonder having a glass of wine while playing
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the piano and then getting arrested for dui because police
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: officers was stick the piano for a damn call. What's
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: also interesting about this is demand is line. You think
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: he has a gun, but you stop him to make
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: sure he's carrying the gun properly. If I saw a
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: blind man with a gun, I wouldn't want to know
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: why is he carrying it? At all? No disrespect to
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: all the blind gun owners out there, but you can
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: understand my confusion. Right is that even a thing? I'm
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: forty four years old and it's never even crossed my
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: mind on whether blind people own guns or not. But
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: now I can't stop thinking about it. So I did
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: some research, and by research I mean Google. I typed
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: in do blind people own guns? And the answer is
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: most definitely Okay, apparently in America. Have you ever heard that?
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: In No, Well, apparently in America, being blind does not
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: keep you from owning a gun. Some states, like Nebraska
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: in my home South Carolina, required gun applicants to show
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: proo provision, but in two thousand and seven, Texas lawmakers
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: passed the measure to help legally blind people hunt. Let
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: me tell you something. I watched Dad Devil, so I
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: know that blind people's you know, other senses or other
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: senses are extremely heightened. But it ain't no way in
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: hell I'm going hunting with a blind person. It makes
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: no logical sense to me whatsoever. Look I tell y'all
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: all the time, I'm not the highest grade of weed
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: in the dispensary. But one would assume that being able
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: to see would be one of the necessary qualifications for
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: owning a gun. Okay, that's the problem with most of
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: y'all humans nowadays. Anyway, you shoot like you're legally blind,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: all right, most of y'all don't hit what you're aiming
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: at with twenty twenty vision, So how you gonna hold
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: it down when you pop? Let me tell you something,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: officers in Lake City, Florida, with that man lacking vision,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you all lacking empathy, there's absolutely no reason for that
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: man to have been incarcerated, and he had every right
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: to be frustrated with y'all because it's ridiculous. Okay, whenever
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: you're accused of doing something you weren't doing, it sucks.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: But when it's something as ridiculous it's mistaking my walking
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: cane for a gun. Imagine if he had his seeing
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: eye dog with him, what would you mistake that ass
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: huh a little kid, he kidnapped his human sex trafficking
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: ring huh. You know they say empathy is seeing with
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the eyes of another. Clearly the officers were seeing with
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the eyes of the blind man they decided to harass.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I would tell Florida to do better. For Florida doing
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: better would be so less entertaining for the rest of us.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Please give officer to James Hodges and Deputy James gold
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: to Sweet Sounds of the Hamletones. Oh no you are
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: do gee, Oh the day, do gee, oh the day. Ye.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: By the way, there's a movie on Hulu calls See
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: for Me and this woman is house sitting and she's blind.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: She also was a professional skier and it just brought
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to let a lot of things that you talked about
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: because she ended up having to like kill these people
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: that came into the home that were home invaders. But
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: there's an app for blind people where you have like
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: a person that navigates you to walk around the house.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: It's really interesting. But that's a real life thing. But
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: just putting that out there, But you mean guide you
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: around and and like make a left shoot now like
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: that like that type of thing. Yeah, exactly, like you
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: put it on FaceTime. I think the app is called Titular,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and you put it on FaceTime so if you're blind,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: they can help you like kind of guide and navigate through.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: So she was on the app with this person and
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: they were like, Okay, you know at three o'clock. He's
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: at three o'clock, and yeah, it's interesting. I mean, obviously
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: it's just a movie. But I didn't realize obviously chage
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: just blind people who have weapons and have licenses to
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: own firearms, right, know what I'm saying. But that's a
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: real life app, so that's all. It just made me
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: think of that because I was like, she's really doing
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a great job with this gun even though she's blind. Okay,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: all right, well thank you for that, ye and thank
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: you for that. Don't get to day Charlemagne. Up next,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: UFC waltsweight champion Leon Edwards will be joining us, so
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: we're gonna kick it with him next. It don't move.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
