Chuck Bryant, which makes 5 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: this Stuff you should Know? Um, and we were about 6 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: to present part eighty in our series on law enforcement agencies. 7 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,639 Speaker 1: Pretty soon we're going to just start profiling like X 8 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: cops and stuff like that. Dude, we we still haven't 9 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: done a t F for CIA or ADI. The CIA 10 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,840 Speaker 1: article leaves a lot Not'm sure it needs some stuff. 11 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 1: So we're gonna do that week when we have extra 12 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: time to do a lot more research. Okay, well today 13 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: we're talking about the U. S. Marshals. That's right, So, Chuck, 14 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: have you ever seen the movie The Fugitive? I have? Well, 15 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: then we don't need to do this episode. Why is it? 16 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: That's it? It's the most accurate trail of the U. S. 17 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: Marshall ever created by man Tommy Lee Jones. Yes, he 18 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: was good in that. I'm a big fan. Yeah, I know, 19 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: he was great. It's really tough to go wrong with 20 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: Tommy Lee Jones. What was he in was he in 21 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: No Country for Old Man? And he's the last lines 22 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Yeah. He actually, if you've read 23 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: the book, is the main character is pretty much his character. 24 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: That's why when you see the movie and oh gosh, 25 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: I hate the spoilers spoiler alert when you see the 26 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: movie and and what's his face dies? H, have your 27 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: bar down now that the what you think is the 28 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: main character? Yes, uh, what's his face from the game 29 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: Josh Brolin Josh Roland in the movie, it's kind of like, wait, 30 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: he just kind of unceremoniously died and they didn't make 31 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: a big deal about it. Remember in the movie, but 32 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: if you read the book, he's not really the main character, 33 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: so it sort of makes more sense. Anyway. I love 34 00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: the Coen Brothers, so they know what they're doing. God 35 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: the best. But again, Tommy Lee Jones, this is the 36 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: how Tommy Lee Jones works episode and he's a class act. 37 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: And chuck the we're talking about the Federal Marshals. Really 38 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: I was joking about Tommy Lee. Um, did you know 39 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,119 Speaker 1: that they are the oldest law enforcement agency in the land. Yeah, 40 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: and most versatile they claim, Yeah, very proud of that fact. 41 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: They do a lot of stuff they really do. Um, 42 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: and in a lot of ways, they're very unsung. They 43 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: have a very long history. They were first created in 44 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: nine the first time Congress met, the Marshal Service was 45 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: literally created. Um. And they've had their highs and their 46 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: loves and the two hundred and twenty five years since 47 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: George Washington appointed the first thirteen marshals. That is very 48 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: cool right out of the gate. And Uh, basically they 49 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: set up the federal courts and they said, wow, we 50 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: need some people to kind of protect the courts. We 51 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 1: need some people that crack some heads. U S. Marshals done. Yeah, 52 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: And um, apparently as far as like law enforcement agencies 53 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: in the US goes, the federal marshals have kind of 54 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: had the short end of the stick traditionally. Um, especially 55 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: early on in the country's history when states rights wasn't 56 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 1: just relegated to like you know, you know, it was 57 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: a big deal that everybody right. UM, So you you 58 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: had this guy who was sometimes the only law enforcement 59 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: official in the entire land in your whole area, and 60 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: he's trying to shove federal laws down your throat when 61 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: you're all about states rights. And that was pretty much 62 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: the the the beginning of the Marshal Service was basically 63 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: being at odds with their friends and neighbors about the 64 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: stuff that they were doing. A lot of times it 65 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: was stuff that proved to be unconstitutional, like the Alien 66 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: and Sedition Act. Remember our buddy Eugene Debs who ran 67 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: for president and got a million votes from jail here 68 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: in Atlanta, the Socialists, He was jailed for the Alien 69 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: and Sedition Act. Yeah, I remember, Like you couldn't even 70 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: speak against the government publicly or else. It was considered 71 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: treason around World War One. Yeah, yeah, Yeah, Marcel's had 72 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: to arrest people like Eugene Debs for that kind of stuff. 73 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: So there have been plenty of points in the history 74 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: of this agency where like they haven't had to do 75 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:32,119 Speaker 1: very good stuff, and uh, they've suffered for it. Yeah. 76 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: And the grabster Ed Grabanowski, who wrote this as well 77 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: as many other cool articles that we podcast on, pointed 78 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: out that the Civil War, or not the Civil War, 79 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 1: but slavery was kind of a contentious point because in 80 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: the South they had to enforce a slave trade bands 81 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: on slave imports, and then in the North they had 82 00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: to prosecute people fugitives on the run and northern abligious 83 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: from like and in the South there like so camp 84 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: bring in our slaves. So yeah, the and the marshals 85 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: were like, man, no one likes me anywhere, I'm gonna 86 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: go out west. And they were liked in the West 87 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: in a lot of places. Probably yes, because literally out 88 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: west it was lawless in many many respects. And literally 89 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: and figuratively, there would be a marshal out there, and 90 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: the marshal is as you would see, just some guy 91 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: like sitting in an office in some boom town, right 92 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: like bat Masterson and that's it. Uh, And then he 93 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: would deputize the posse. That's extremely accurate. There's a there 94 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 1: would be a marshal out there, and if you needed 95 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: some extra help, you could grab some law abiding citizens 96 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: who had guns and say you're now an official of 97 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: the US government and you have to come crack heads 98 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 1: with me. Um. That's really how it happened. But yes, 99 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: like you said, in in situations like that, most of 100 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: the law abiding people are the people who are just 101 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 1: trying to mind some gold and leaving other people alone. 102 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: They were very happy that there was a marshal there. 103 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: Yea a little order for a change, right so there's 104 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: like a little uptick in a marshal appreciation in the 105 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: nineteenth century, the second half of it out West. Yeah, 106 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: that's kind of their heyday two from what I gather 107 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: if you don't count now. And I actually found too 108 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: that a lot of states still have a posse. But 109 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, the Arkansas U. S. Marshall Posse, 110 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: and it's just the organization that helps to raise awareness 111 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: and stuff. It's like the p b A. Yeah, they'll 112 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: go around to schools and stuff like that. That's the 113 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: Marshal's Posse. Wow, it's very valuable job they do. Josh, well, 114 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: there's remember there's the posse Coomatatas Act that prevents posses, 115 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: doesn't it. I never heard of that. Yeah, we talked 116 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 1: about in the Delta Force episode. It's like it's it's 117 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: the law that prevents Delta Force from operating in the US. Ostensibly. Well, 118 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: in these days, you try to get a posse together 119 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: and people like dude, I'm watching Lost Boys come on nice. Uh. 120 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: Twenties century, early twentieth century, they were pretty close to 121 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: obscurity because um, they had a reputation for being fat, 122 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: lazy retired cops. Demoided grabbing. Owski puts it, I love 123 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: that that word. Dumb fat retired cops. Yeah, basically the 124 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: the UM. I don't know what led to that, but 125 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: they just kind of lost their their shape and um, 126 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: everybody knew it too. And then the respect for the 127 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: marshal service went down tremendously like that. It sounds like 128 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: it was a place where old cops go to die 129 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: or to retire. Um and uh. And then a guy 130 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: came along in the the ninety nine. His name is Frank Murphy, 131 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: and he became Attorney General of the United States, and 132 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: he said, you're gonna stop being so pudgy, c you. 133 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: We're gonna get you to work out. You're gonna be 134 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: good at arresting criminals. C. They said, whatever you say, Murphy. Yeah, 135 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: and that was that. Yeah, and they started taking shape again, 136 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: literally and figuratively, I guess. And uh, you know, throughout 137 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: the twentieth century made their aim for doing such brave 138 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: things like escorting black students to school during segregation. Those 139 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: were marshals when you see that famous picture. Um, although 140 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: I think some of them are National Guard as well. No, 141 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: the National Guard were ordered out by racist governors to 142 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: block the coming in and the Marshals odds with the 143 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: National Guard. Yeah, National Guards state. I feel like a dummy. 144 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: I don't, okay, I mean it just makes sense, you know, 145 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: like that, Well, the National Guard's gonna be out there protection. 146 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,079 Speaker 1: No, no no, no, that's a big black eye on the 147 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: state of Alabama in particular and Mississippi. It's true. They 148 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 1: also um kind of mix it up with anti war 149 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: protesters during Vietnam and basically made more of a name 150 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: for themselves as the twentieth century advanced as hippie beaters. Yeah, 151 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: that's true. Uh so what what do they do though? 152 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: And also I just want to point out I don't 153 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: advocate the beating of hippies, and if you're gonna send 154 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: me an email, go back and listen to the whole 155 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: catalog first. Okay, except hippie Rob he deserves a good 156 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: beat down, but not really, not really, um so chuck. Finally, 157 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: we arrived to current day. As far as when this 158 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: article was written two thousand seven, and at a place 159 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: called Fort Smith, Arkansas, you will find the um National 160 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: Museum of the U. S. Marshals. Still to this day, 161 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: it's there four years later. I did not know that, 162 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: and they changed their their badge too. Used to be 163 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: a six point in star. Oh is it? It's five? Okay? 164 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: So okay, it did start out to being a six 165 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: silver star in a circle. Okay, so now it's a 166 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: five pointed star in a circle. But apparently up until 167 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: ninety one, so there's ninety four districts that UM coincide 168 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: with judicial districts federal judicial districts that Marshall served, and 169 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: every district was in charge of creating its own badge 170 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: until nineteen forty one when they standardized it. And each 171 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: district only has one marshal official marshal. The rest are 172 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 1: like deputies and things like that. Right, there's like about 173 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: four thousand deputies in ninety four marshals working that UM 174 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: three thousand. I saw that it said on their website 175 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: three thousand, nine hundred approximately three thousand, nine hundred and fifty, 176 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: and I was like, you know, we don't round up 177 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: the four thousand anymore when we hit that. Well, it's 178 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: better than having a ticker that's like takes one down 179 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: every time someone dies in the line of two up 180 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: one when one's born. Yeah, that's true, or a new 181 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: hire right, all right, So chuck Um, you said that 182 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: the Marshal services pretty versatile and for good reason. They 183 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: have UM at least four main areas of operation UM 184 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: and probably the best known one thanks to Mr Tommy 185 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: Lee Jones, the class act UM is catching fugitives, and 186 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: not just federal fugitives. They also support UM state and 187 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 1: local law enforcement groups in catching their fugitives too, So 188 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: the marshals are basically just big show offs. I got 189 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: a couple of stats here, Josh, Uh in two thousand ten, 190 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna pepper your information with stats about that. 191 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: In two thousand ten they arrested more than eighty one thousand, 192 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: nine hundred state and local fugitives. That's when they're helping 193 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: everyone out. It was eighty nine thousand, nine hundred one 194 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: and UH. As far as federal federal fugitives, they arrested 195 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: more than thirty six thousand in two thousand ten alone. 196 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: That's a huge up tick in because state and local 197 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: because in two thousand seven in the article its sites 198 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: forty six thousand, eight hundred state and local fugitives, so 199 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 1: that's close to double. Yeah. Yeah, good work. Yes, well, 200 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: part of that was operating from Falcon Yeah, that was 201 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 1: mainly to UH, to nab unregistered sex offenders. Right, it 202 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: depends like it's it's it's a fugitive capture operation um 203 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: and in two thousand seven they were up to the 204 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: end of phase three. UM and I think each phase 205 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: would be a different part of the country and then 206 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: maybe a different emphasis. So Falcon three in two thousand 207 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: seven was launched to catch people who are supposed to 208 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: register as sex offenders but never did, making them fugitives 209 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: in the Eastern US and it nabbed ten thousand, seven 210 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty three felons, sex offenders, the people we 211 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: do not want on the street, just a few, and 212 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 1: gang members more than gang members. And I think that's 213 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: a part of Operation Falcon right, I believe gang stuff, Yeah, 214 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: because ICE is responsible for um immigration. So although the 215 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: Marshall Service have four outposts Mexico, Jamaica and a couple 216 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: other places in the Caribbean, Yeah, Colombia and Dominican Republic, 217 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,839 Speaker 1: I think that's all drug related. That's just a guess. Yeah, 218 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: But um so they would and they do arrest people 219 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: in those countries. Um One of the guys on their 220 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:58,199 Speaker 1: most wanted list was arrested in Mexico. Um So they 221 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: can operate outside of the country, but they wouldn't. They 222 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't have anything to do with immigration. Although I can't 223 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: see them not working with Ice. They might. Yeah, it 224 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: seems like they will work with whoever asked for their help. 225 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: You know, they're like, sure, we can send a team 226 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: down there. Um. One of the other big aspects of 227 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 1: their job is prisoner transport because they're they're in charge of, um, 228 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: basically looking over the court system, the federal court system, 229 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: anything that has to do with protecting a courtroom, transporting 230 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: a prisoner, the keeping the security aspect of the federal 231 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: judicial system functioning. That's what they do. And a big 232 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: part of that is shuffling prisoners from place to place. Yeah, 233 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: and they do that via the Justice, Prisoner and Alien 234 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: Transportation System. And that is literally their own bus line, airline, 235 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: van line, whatever they need. If you've seen them pretty 236 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 1: bad movie con Air that was those were marshals and uh, 237 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: every day they have sixty three thousand, roughly sixty three 238 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: thousand prisoners custody and then they transport these dudes and 239 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: ladies I guess, all over the all over the place 240 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: on planes. Yeah. Um, no beverage service and I'll bet not, 241 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: and I'll bet those um like the stuff on the 242 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: seatbacks where you rest your head. Yes, haven't been watched 243 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: in a while. No in flight movie. Yeah, it's no frills, 244 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: exactly what it is. Uh, if you want to see 245 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: a very frill laden aircraft, you should see Airport. I 246 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: think the third one, did you watch that recently? Has awesome? 247 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: You know what I watched the other day, Towering Inferno. 248 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: I've got the in my instant que It's pretty good, man. 249 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: I gotta say like it holds. It's way too long. 250 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: First of all, it's like two and a half hours long, 251 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: and it didn't need to be, Like they should have 252 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: cut out a lot of the plot points. But as 253 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: far as just like, uh, oh my god, what's gonna happen? 254 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: It was pretty big ranks still suspense. Yeah, that's that's 255 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: the word. Yeah it is. It's among it's among the 256 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: best of the seventies disaster flicks. Right. Yeah, and you 257 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: got Paul Newman and Steve McQueen in the same movie. 258 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: That's just off the tough guy meter. Yeah. Well, I 259 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: I didn't have my full attention last night, so I 260 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: didn't watch that. Instead. I punished me and you meet 261 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: with Beyond the Poseidon Adventure. That's so funny. We're on 262 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: this kick of old disaster. It's weird. Unbeknownst. Yeah, I 263 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: had no idea until just this moment. Towering Airports seventy eight. Um, so, chuck, 264 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: I think it's seventy eight. There's also seventies seven. Yeah, 265 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: there's a few seventy seventy seven. I think it's seventy seven. 266 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: It's the one where Jimmy Stewart owns a luxury airliner 267 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: is flying these people who end up beneath the surface 268 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: of the Atlantic in the Bermuda Triangle. Okay, and you 269 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: know who wasn't towering in front of Fredi Stair? Yeah, 270 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: when his last movie and he actually there's one small 271 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: Sceneri's dancing and my eyes were just like, oh my god, 272 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: Fredi stairs dancing. Well, apparently in the Tower of Inferno 273 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: they had like fifty something sets and all the eight 274 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: of them were like went up in flames. H wow. Yeah, geez, 275 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: that's a sidetrack. That's much more interesting. They got marshals, 276 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: I think, so they transport prisoners, they kept capture fugitives, 277 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: and then um we we did a whole podcast on 278 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: Witness Security Program wit SEC, the Witness Protection Program UM, 279 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: but we'll talk about it briefly here. Basically, it was 280 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: conceived in nineteen seventy and since then the Marshal Service, 281 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: which basically UM hides federal witnesses and keeps them hidden, 282 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: gives them new lives UM, or just you know, keeps 283 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: them in safe houses during trial, depending on the arrangement. Uh. 284 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: They say that since nineteen seventy, since the beginning, not 285 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: one witness has been harmed if they follow the rules. 286 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: Plenty of witnesses have been wax but went to a 287 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: movie or something with you know, look at me, I'm 288 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: Jimmy two legs Josh. They also, we we said protect 289 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: the courts. They still do that today, more than two 290 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: thousand judges and four courthouses nationwide. They install security systems, 291 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 1: they provide personal escort and watch over high risk trials. 292 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: And there's also a few other people they helped transport UM. 293 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 1: I think all federal judges, U S attorneys, personnel in jurors. 294 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: UM they provide protection for and they transport UM. The 295 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 1: Supreme Court justices outside of Washington, d C. I'm their 296 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: annual picnic I guess so, and I guess in d C. 297 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: And I'm not sure who it is. It may be 298 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: secret Service or something or maybe just I don't know 299 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: local local marshals, and we should point that out. Marshal 300 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: is a term that's used a lot, but unless you 301 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: are a U S. Marshal, then you're not part of 302 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: the U S. M say, like, you can be a 303 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: marshal like some countries have marshals. Is military ranks or 304 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: air marshals are not related to UM the Marshal Service 305 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,239 Speaker 1: that yeah, I thought they were. I thought they were 306 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 1: U S. Marshals they or not UM. Also, we should 307 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: say if you are if you're a drug dealer and 308 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: you get popped for a beef by the FEDS and 309 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: they take your stuff, it's the marshals who have it. 310 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: They're in charge of ash st seizure, yes, and distribution 311 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: to like selling off stuff to give reparation to families 312 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 1: and victims and stuff, or to fund the Marshal Service 313 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 1: or to fund the Marshal Service picnic. What else can 314 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: they do, Josh. They have a SWAT group Special Operations Group, 315 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 1: which basically does the same thing that SWAT teams do, 316 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: but for federal stuff. Okay, that makes sense. And um, 317 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 1: they once arrested, arrested and making air quotes a fleet 318 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: of UM eighteenth century shipwrecks off the coast of Rhode 319 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,479 Speaker 1: Island at the request of the governor UM to protect it, 320 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: to take it and take these to federal custody and 321 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: protect them from vandals and UM salvagers. Yeah, yeah, I 322 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: got a stat on the assets. They currently manage eighteen 323 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: thousand assets valued at three point nine billion bucks. It's 324 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: a lot of cigarette boats. And in two thousand ten 325 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: paid UM victims of crimes about three hundred and fifty 326 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: million dollars. So they do use it for reparation time 327 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: some of it. UM. They also made payments to state 328 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: and low local law enforcement agencies of five hundred and 329 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: eighty millions, So maybe they repay. Like if you wrect 330 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 1: your police cars in the pursuit of this guy, we'll 331 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: pay you back. Here's some money. We're sell off their 332 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: stuff and we'll pay you back. Just remember Uncle Sam 333 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: takes care of you. Uh what else, Josh, Well, the 334 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: we talked about how the MARS services set up within 335 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: the ninety four districts and the thirty nine fifty three 336 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 1: three thousand, nine fifty three deputies. Um, but how did 337 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: they get there? Chuck? Apparently I used to have an 338 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 1: exam and then now they used the standard federal Career 339 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 1: intern program, which it takes a couple of years to 340 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: get you to make sure that you're not just some 341 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: jerk too could fill out on application yeah, or once 342 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: a free gun. Yeah. So you gotta get a pay 343 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 1: your dues for a couple of years, and if you've 344 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: got the right stuff, then you have to go through 345 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: a seventeen and a half week training course at the U. S. 346 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: Marshall Service Training Academy in Glencoe, Georgia. Did you did 347 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,439 Speaker 1: you know the Marshall's Training Academy is here? I didn't, 348 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: and I didn't even know actually, And it's down it's 349 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,199 Speaker 1: sort of halfway between Jacksonville and Savannah. It's down on 350 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: the coast and your St. Simon's. It does ring a 351 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: slight bell. I think it was not even a place 352 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: until they put the thing there and they named it Glencoe. 353 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if that stands for anything, but I 354 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: don't even think that was a legitimate town until they 355 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: set up a six acre campus that has its own 356 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: zip code. That's very neat. It's big, um chuck. If 357 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: you want to become a U. S. Marshal, there's some 358 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: Now you can't just fill out an application. You have 359 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: to go through the training program. But even to get 360 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: into the training program too, on the U S. Marshall track, 361 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: there's some um, some qualifications you have to have. You 362 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: have to be a US citizen. Check you have to 363 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: be between the ages of thirty six. Nope, Um, you 364 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: could still I could. I'd better hurry up. Being good 365 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: physical condition, I would say, I'm not, and you're you're 366 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: so so stuff. So would you say you're in good 367 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 1: physical conditions? I would? So you could pass these these tests, 368 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: I could. You could do the fifty chin ups and 369 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: run the mile in a certain time over a long 370 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: enough period of time, I could. A bachelor's degree check. Uh, 371 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 1: three years experience in law enforcement or other qualifying job experience. Uh. 372 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 1: Valid driver's license and a good driving record. Yeah, okay, 373 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: I'm good. Well, aside from the age limit, then you're 374 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 1: fine in the physical condition, in the experience. So pretty much, 375 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: I'm a US citizen and I have a driver's license. 376 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 1: That's what qualifies me. Uh. There's some famous Marshals besides 377 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: Tommy Lee Jones and Bat Masterson who I mentioned Did 378 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: you mention him? Yes? I just got threw him in earlier. 379 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: Was Marshall Dylan a real person Matt Dylon or was 380 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: he just a fictional character? I don't think he was 381 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: fictional character? Pretty sure h TV Baby White Earth was 382 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: real though. Yea and Virgil and Morgan Earp his brothers. 383 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 1: They were all Marshals, as was wild Bill Hickock. And 384 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:48,360 Speaker 1: while Bill is the tie that binds the Marshall's podcast 385 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: and the Swords following podcast because he brought in a 386 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: Cowboys and Indians set up to the Three Worlds Fair 387 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: in Chicago. Ah, look at you up in both. Wow. 388 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: Frederick Douglas had no idea that he was a U. S. Marshall. No, 389 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: and the Marshall for d C two, which I imagine 390 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 1: it is probably a pretty busy district. Did you see 391 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: you don't watch Louis, do you? No? He had episode 392 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: of his daughter dressed up like Frederick Douglas for Halloween 393 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: and apparently that was what he wanted to be when 394 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: he was a kid one year, so he brought it 395 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:28,360 Speaker 1: back years later for a show. Yeah. Um, what else, Josh, 396 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 1: they have the most wanted list that is different than 397 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: the FBI S. Yeah, I remember they caught that one 398 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: dude in Mexico. They caught one of their own dudes 399 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: in Mexico that went to the other side, I think too. 400 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right, he like went Randy Gaiden turned 401 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: into a drug dealing murderer allegedly, allegedly allegedly these days, Josh, 402 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: the director is a is a lady named Stacia Hilton, 403 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: and it was a really controversial nomination actually by Obama. 404 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: Well she was, um, she's a socialist. Yeah, she has 405 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: um had strong ties to the private prison industry and 406 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 1: the U. S. Marshals is also responsible for awarding contracts 407 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: to build federal prisons. Oh yeah. So basically it was 408 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: one of those deals where they're like, hey, she made 409 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: a lot of money as a consultant for all these companies. 410 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: You appoint her, and she's going to give her friends 411 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 1: the in the private prison industry fat contracts. So she 412 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: had petitions going around basically, but the nomination did go through, 413 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 1: and apparently it was kind of sped through. Huh. So 414 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: all those people out there we like to call out 415 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: folks on both sides. We're doing it could go and 416 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: chuck now, thanks um. And also I should say there's 417 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: between two hundred and four hundred marshals that have died 418 00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: in the line of duty, since that's not a lot no, um. 419 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: And the first was a guy named Robert Forsyth, and 420 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: he went to go serve court papers for a civil 421 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: case to two brothers, Beverly and William Allen. And uh. 422 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: He took the Allen brothers aside to say, hey, I 423 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: don't want to embarrass you, but here's some papers. And 424 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: rather than come with them, they ran upstairs, locked themselves 425 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: in the door. When they heard um forsythe coming up 426 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 1: the stairs, they shot through the door and it hit 427 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: him in the head and killed him instantly. So here's 428 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: the first first marshal shot during the line of duty 429 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: in Augusta, Georgia. Yeah, and I actually saw that. He 430 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 1: was the first law enforcement officer ever killed in the 431 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: line of duty in the United States. And he wore 432 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 1: like powdered wigs and everything too. It was like old 433 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: timey colonial, just just post colonial. So that's it. That's 434 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,959 Speaker 1: us marshals, right, that's right. They do a valuable service. 435 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: And now you know what that is thanks to Chuck 436 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: and his law enforcement crush.
