>>> AT MIDNIGHT ON JULY 1ST, THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA BECAME A MEMBER OF THE SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE, THE MOST POWERFUL ENTITY IN COLLEGE ATHLETICS.

THE MOVE WILL NOT JUST IMPACT SPORTS BUT IT WILL CHANGE OU'S ABILITY TO FUNDRAISE, INCREASE ENROLLMENT AND IMPROVE THE UNIVERSITY AS A WHOLE.

JASON DOYLE JOINS US WITH MORE ON THE IMPACT AND THE CELEBRATIONS AROUND THE MOVE.

>> Reporter: RICH, IN JULY OF 2021, IT WAS LEAKED THAT THE OU AND UT WERE TALKING TO THE S.E.C.

ABOUT JOINING.

THIS WEEK, IT FELT LIKE A TAILGATE ON A NORMAN CAMPUS WITH FANS CELEBRATING JOINING THE S.E.C.

AFTER WAITING FOR YEARS.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, OU IS ALREADY BENEFITTING FROM ITS NEW CONFERENCE ALIGNMENT.

>> Reporter: THE RENFRO FAMILY BRAVING THE 100 DEGREE HEAT ON MONDAY TO COMMEMORATE THE CENTER'S FIRST DAY IN THE SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE.

>> IT FEELS GREAT.

IT FEELS ENERGIZING AND REINVIGORATING AND JUST READY TO START A NEW ERA.

>> Reporter: IT WAS HARD TO HIDE THE FACT THAT OU HAD JOINED THE S.E.C.

ON THIS DAY FROM THE RALLY TO THE NEW OU S.E.C.

T-SHIRTS BEING GIVEN AWAY, TO THE NEW FLAGS ON TOP OF MEMORIAL STADIUM.

OU'S FIRST DAY BROUGHT OUT THE LIKES OF SPORTS GURU PAUL, WHO INTERVIEWED SOONER FOOTBALL HEAD COACH AS HE BROADCASTS HIS SHOW TO THE GATHERED CROWD AND THE AUDIENCE.

WHILE MOST OF THE ATTENTION IS FOCUSED ON THIS FALL WHEN THE FOOTBALL SEASON BEGAN, OU PRESIDENT SAYS THIS IS TAKING THE UNIVERSITY AS A WHOLE TO A HIGHER LEVEL.

>> WE LOVE THE TAG LINE FOR THE S.E.C.

IT JUST MEANS MORE.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR US?

IT MEANS THE PROGRESS WE MADE AS A UNIVERSITY OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS CAN CONTINUE ON AN EVEN BIGGER STAGE.

>> Reporter: EVEN BEFORE MONDAY, OU FELT THE IMPACT ON ITS CAMPUS AND JOINING THE S.E.C.

THROUGH STUDENT ENROLLMENT.

>> THE LAST THREE YEARS ALL RECORD CLASS SIZES.

WE HOPED WHEN WE STARTED OFF FOUR YEARS AGO TO GROW OUR FRESHMEN CLASS BY 2% A YEAR.

IMPRESSIVE GIVEN THE DEMOGRAPHICS ACROSS THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW AND THE REALITIES OF MOST OTHER SCHOOLS.

WE DIDN'T GROW JUST BY 2%, BUT BY 11% LAST YEAR AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE DOUBLE DIGIT GROWTH AGAIN THIS YEAR.

>> Reporter: HE NOTES THAT THE IMPACT IS FELT ON UNIVERSITY-BASED RESEARCH AS WELL.

>> WE HAVE ASPIRATIONS OF BEING AN AAU UNIVERSITY.

WE HAD 16% ANNUALIZED GROWTH IN RESEARCH.

TOWARDS THAT PATH OF TRUE GREATNESS.

>> Reporter: AAU STANDS FOR ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES, CURRENTLY COMPRISED OF 71 LEADING RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES, WHICH INCLUDES CAL TECH, JOHNS HOPKINS, AND OUR NEIGHBORS TO THE SOUTH, THE RED RIVER, WHO IS ALSO JOINING OU AND THE S.E.C., THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS.

>> I REALLY RESPECT THE WAY THE PRESIDENT POSITIONED HOW WE WOULD APPROACH THIS TRANSITION AND THE WORDS RESPECTFUL AND ORDERLY WERE SPOKEN FROM THE VERY FIRST MOMENT WE TALKED ABOUT AN INVITATION AND THE ACCEPTANCE OF THAT INVITATION IN LATE JULY 2021.

>> Reporter: SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE COMMISSIONER GREG SANKEY SAYS OU AND TEXAS HAVE BUILT EXCITEMENT ON THEIR CAMPUSES FOR JOINING THE S.E.C.

WHILE RESPECTING THE BIG 12 AHEAD OF THE MOVE.

>> YOU HAVE NOT SEEN BANNERS AND LOGOS AND HERALDING OF THE S.E.C.

MOVE AS THEY HAVE BEEN RESPECTFUL OF THEIR COLLEAGUES IN THE BIG 12.

THAT BRINGS US TO TODAY WHERE WE'RE A 16-MEMBER CONFERENCE.

WE'RE NO LONGER 14 WAITING FOR 2.

WE ARE AT 16.

>> I WANTED TO DO IT IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE, THAT WAS ORDERLY AND HONORED ALL OF OUR COMMITMENTS, AND TRIED TO RESPECT THE MEMBERS OF THE CONFERENCE WE WERE IN.

IN SPITE OF THE WAY THE NEWS CAME OUT IN THAT JULY OF 2021.

>> Reporter: UNIVERSITY DIRECTOR SAYS THEY ARE READY TO GET READY IN THEIR NEW CONFERENCE.

>> LAST WEEK WE HAD A BIG RECRUITING EVENT AND THE S.E.C.

WAS PAINTED ON THE FIELD AND PEOPLE ARE NOW SAYING THIS IS REAL AND IT IS REALLY EXCITING FOR ALL OF US.

>> Reporter: SPORTS FAN HAVE THE BIG QUESTION FOR THE FORMER BIG 12 LEADERS, CAN OU COMPETE WITH ITS NEW COUNTERPARTS IN THE S.E.C.?

>> YOU KNOW WE WON 14 OF THE BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS IN THE 28 YEARS, AND NOW I THINK IT'S A NEW CHALLENGE SO WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THE S.E.C.

AND START A NEW ERA HERE IN NORMAN.

>> WHAT WE BRING TO HELP THE S.E.C.

BE STRONGER, WHAT THEIR STRENGTH BRINGS TO HELP US BE STRONGER IN THE LONG RUN, THIS IS A NATURAL THING.

>> Reporter: THE COMMISSIONER AGREE, OU FITS IN WITH THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CONFERENCE.

>> THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA WILL STAND ON ITS OWN AND WILL COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY AND WILL CREATE THOSE MOMENTS SOON.

>> Reporter: OU PRESIDENT BELIEVES THIS WAS THE RIGHT MOVE FOR THE SOONERS AT THE RIGHT TIME.

HE CONTENDS IF OU DID NOT MOVE TO THE S.E.C., THE ATHLETIC PROGRAMS WOULD BECOME MORE EXPENSIVE.

>> WE WANT TO REMAIN AMONG THE HAND FULL OF ATHLETIC DEPARTMENTS IN THE COUNTRY WITH UNIVERSITIES THAT WEREN'T SUBSIDIZED, THAT DIDN'T TAKE MONEY FROM THE STUDENTS OR OTHER SOURCES TO RUN, BEING SELF-SUFFICIENT MATTERS TO US A GREAT DEAL FOR A LOT OF REASONS.

>> Reporter: ASKING FOR FINANCIAL HELP FOR THE ATHLETIC PROGRAMS AT OU WAS NOT FAR OFF AND THE CONFERENCE REALIGNMENT AS HELPED ELIMINATE THAT NEED.

>> FOR US, IN THE PARTICULAR POSITION WE WERE IN, IF WE DID NOT MAKE THE MOVE TO THE S.E.C., THE DATE FOR THAT SUBSIDY WOULD BE IN 2027, 2028, 2029, AS EARLY AS THOSE YEARS.

>> Reporter: LONG TIME S.E.C.

FANS WON'T HAVE LONG TO WAIT.

>> I THINK WE ACHIEVED THE FAIRNESS AND OUR PROGRAMS WANTED BALANCE, WHICH IS A STEP AWAY FROM DIVISION SO WE CAN ROTATE THROUGH IN FOUR YEARS RATHER THAN 6 AND 12, TO SEE A TEAM ON THE OTHER DIVISION AND 12 TO SEE THEM IN YOUR STADIUM.

WE ACHIEVED THAT.

>> Reporter: THERE IS ONE POINT OF CONTENTION, A CONTROVERSY BETWEEN THE SOONERS, THE LONG HORNS, THE UPSIDEDOWN HORNS.

>> WE'RE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT FOOTBALL PENALTIES ON JULY 1ST.

I'LL LET MY FOOTBALL COORDINATOR DEAL WITH THAT.

>> Rich: THE SOONERS ARE SET TO HOST THEIR FIRST GAME ON SEPTEMBER 20TH, OU KICKS OFF THE 2024 SEASON ON AUGUST 30TH AGAINST TEMPLE.

>>> A NEW IMMIGRATION LAW THAT WAS SET TO TAKE EFFECT ON MONDAY HAS BEEN TEMPORARILY HALTED BY A FEDERAL JUDGE.

THEY FILED A LAWSUIT CONTENDING THE NEW LAW WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

OKLAHOMA LAWMAKERS WHO PROTESTED THE IMPLEMENTATION IS PRAISING THE COURT'S DECISION.

STATE REPRESENTATIVE ARTURO ALONSO-SANDOVAL WHO SPOKE ON APRIL 23RD SAID IN A STATEMENT THIS WEEK THAT HB4156 NOT ONLY VIOLATES THE PRINCIPALS OF OUR NATION BUT INSTILLS FEARS IN OUR COMMUNITY.

ATTORNEY GENERAL DRUMMOND RELEASED A STATEMENT THAT READ IN PART, WHILE TODAY'S COURT RULING IS DISAPPOINTING, I WILL NOT STOP FIGHTING FOR OKLAHOMA AND OUR RIGHT TO PROTECT OUR BORDERS.

THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION'S FAILURE TO ENFORCE FEDERAL IMMIGRATION LAWS MADE HOUSE BILL 4156 A NECESSITY.

WE INTEND TO APPEAL TODAY'S DECISION.

>>> SUNDOWN TOWNS ARE INFAMOUS RELIC OF THE JIM CROW ERA, PLACES WHERE BLACKS ARE NOT WELCOME AFTER NIGHTFALL.

FOR THOSE TRAVELING ON ROUTE 66, THAT SOMETIMES MEANT SEEKING SAFE HAVEN ELSEWHERE.

ONE OF THE PLACES, IS A GAS STATION NEAR LUTHER.

TAELYR JACKSON JOINS US WITH MORE.

>> Reporter: IT WAS NAMED THE 11th MOST DANGEROUS PLACE FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION.

IT INCLUDED THE FILLING STATION AND A $3 MILLION TOTAL GRANT USED TO PRESERVE BLACK HISTORIC SITES.

SITTING ON THE CORNER OF ROUTE 66 IS THE FILLING STATION.

BUILT IN 1915 BY ALLEN THREATT, A PIONEERING AFRICAN AMERICAN ENTREPRENEUR IN THE LUTHER COMMUNITY.

>> A STRONG MAN BUT VERY STRICT MAN.

HE WAS STRICT FROM THE STANDPOINT THAT HE DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THE COLOR OF SOMEBODY ELSE'S SKIN.

YOU TREATED HIM WITH RESPECT.

HE DEMANDED RESPECT.

>> Reporter: THE STATION SERVED AS A SAFE REST STOP FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN ALONG THE HISTORIC HIGHWAY 66.

THE STATION WASN'T FEATURED IN THE TRAVEL GUIDE FOR BLACKS DURING SEGREGATION BUT THE FAMILY SAID EVERYONE KNEW ABOUT THE FILLING STATION BY WORD OF MOUTH.

>> BLACKS COULDN'T STOP IN SUNDOWN TOWNS.

THE ROAD TO LUTHER WAS A SUNDOWN TOWN.

IF YOU GO EAST, YOU HAVE A SUNDOWN TOWN.

YOU HAD WELLSTON.

>> Reporter: THINK WERE ALL WHITE COMMUNITIES THAT EXCLUDED BLACKS AND OTHER MINORITIES THROUGH DISCRIMINATORY LAWS, HARASSMENTS, AND THREATS.

THE WORD SUNDOWN COMES TO THE VERBAL WARNING ISSUED TO BLACKS THAT THEY MUST LEAVE THE TOWN BY SUNSET.

ALLEN THREATT THE THIRD SAID AS A PERSON OF COLOR, YOU DIDN'T WANT TO BE CAUGHT AFTER 6:00 P.M.

IN TOWN.

>> AFTER 6:00, YOU COULD STOP AND GET GAS.

HERE WAS A PLACE.

>> Reporter: IT WAS A SAFE PLACE FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN DURING THE JIM CROW ERA, ALLEN SAID IT'S ALWAYS BEEN OPEN TO ALL RACES.

>> WHITE, YELLOW, WHATEVER.

>> Reporter: ALLEN SPENT MOST OF HIS SUMMERS LENDING A HELPING HAND AT THE STATION.

>> I LIVED IN OKLAHOMA CITY.

EVERY SUMMER, MY MOM WOULD LET ME COME BY HERE AND STAY WITH GRANDPA.

I WOULD PUMP GAS AND PEOPLE DRIVE UP AND I WOULD DO THEIR WINDSHIELD.

SOMETIMES I COULD BARELY GET TO THE WIND SHIELD.

>> Reporter: HIS YOUNGER COUSINS GREW UP ON THE PROPERTY.

>> WE HAD A POND BACK THERE SO WE WOULD GO FISHING AND HUNTING.

THERE WERE NO RESTRICTIONS.

>> Reporter: HE IS WORKING TO PRESERVE THE HISTORY OF THE FAMILY STATION.

>> WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA TO PUT AN INTERPRETIVE CENTER IN HERE.

AN INTERPRETIVE CENTER THAT NOT JUST TELLS ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE FAMILY BUT THE HISTORY OF HIGHWAY 66, WHAT THE FAMILY'S INVOLVEMENT WAS ON HIGHWAY 66.

>> Reporter: AT ONE POINT, THE SURROUNDING 2 MILE AREA WAS ONCE OWN BY AFRICAN AMERICANS.

>> TODAY, WE ARE THE ONLY FAMILY THAT STILL HAS THAT ORIGINAL 160 ACRES.

NOW IT'S DOWN TO 150 NOW, BUT THAT'S BECAUSE THE EXPANSION OF HIGHWAY 66.

>> Reporter: KEEPING THE LAND IN THE FAMILY IS A TOP PRIORITY.

>> WE HAVE A COUSIN THAT SAYS THAT THE PROPERTY CAN NEVER BE SOLD OUTSIDE THE FAMILY.

IF YOU HAVE INTEREST, YOU CAN SELL IT TO ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER, BUT YOU CAN NEVER SELL IT OUTSIDE OF THE FAMILY.

>> Reporter: A SMALL GROCERY STORE WAS ADDED IN 1935 TO PROVIDE STAPLE PRODUCTS FOR LOCALS AND THEN IN 1977, A SMALL CAFE WAS OPEN AND THEN THE FILLING STATION BECAME A VIBRANT PLACE FOR FOOD AND FUN.

RIGHT BEHIND ME, IT WASN'T UNCOMMON IN THOSE DAYS TO SEE PEOPLE GATHERING AROUND THE TABLE ENJOYING A SODA OR DANCING.

>> PEOPLE WOULD BE JUST DANCING AND MONEY WOULD FALL OUT OF THEIR POCKETS.

WE WOULD PICK UP QUARTERS AND THAT WAS A TREAT TO US.

>> Reporter: ALLEN'S GRANDFATHER ALSO PUT IN A RATTLESNAKE PIT IN THE BACK OF THE STATION, WHICH OFTEN DREW IN A CROWD.

>> PEOPLE THAT TRAVELED BEFORE, THEY HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE SO THEY WOULD COME AGAIN THE NEXT YEAR.

THEY KNEW WHERE THE RATTLESNAKES WERE, THEY WOULD WATCH THE RATTLESNAKES AND THROW QUARTERS AND MONEY IN THE RATTLESNAKE DEN.

>> Reporter: ACROSS THE STREET, FOLKS FROM ALL AROUND WOULD WATCH THE NEGRO BASEBALL GAMES.

>> WHEN ONE GAME WAS OVER, ANOTHER TEAM WOULD START PLAYING.

THEY WOULD COME HERE AND GET DRINKS, GET A BEER, A HOT DOG.

SO THIS WAS A BUSY PLACE, EVERYONE IN OKLAHOMA CITY SAID LET'S GO OUT TO THE THREATT'S ON THE WEEKEND.

>> Reporter: WHEN ALLEN THREATT SENIOR DIED, HIS SON ULYSSE TOOK OVER.

WHEN HE PASSED AWAY, ELIZABETH RAN THE CAFE UNTIL 1974.

ED'S FATHER RAN A LOCAL BAR CALLED THE BOMBER.

IT HAD A NEW VISION FOR THE OLD BUILDING.

>> I WANT THIS TO BE A DESTINATION.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO JUST STOP 10 MINUTES AND HEAD OUT AND GO.

WE'RE GOING TO TURN IT INTO A FAMILY-STYLE RESTAURANT.

>> Reporter: THE FAMILY HOPES TO CREATE A FUN PLACE TO VISIT ALONG ROUTE 66.

>> WE INTEND TO HAVE A PAVILION BUILT OUT BACK, TO HAVE A PARK, A POND ON THE PROPERTY.

WE WANT THIS TO BE A PLACE WHERE FAMILIES WOULD COME.

>> Reporter: IT ALSO TELLS ME THAT THE ORIGINAL CASH REGISTER USED AT THE FILLING STATION IS CURRENTLY ON TOUR WITH THE SMITHSONIAN.

RICH.

>> Rich: REALLY INTERESTING.

THANK YOU.

>>> THE U.S. SUPREME COURT ISSUED A SLEW OF RULINGS, AMONG THEM A DECISION THAT ALLOWS CITIES AND STATES TO BAN OUTDOOR CAMPING ON PUBLIC AND STATE OWNED LAND.

OKLAHOMA PASSED SUCH A LAW THIS YEAR TO CUT DOWN ON HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS AND THE COURT RULED THAT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE RULE OR UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT.

WE WILL EXAMINE THAT COMING UP LATER IN THIS NEWSCAST.

HERE'S A PREVIEW.

>> 8% OF OUR POPULATION INCARCERATED ALREADY.

THESE NUMBERS ARE ONLY GOING TO INCREASE AND THAT IS INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE.

IT IS ACTUALLY KIND OF RIDICULOUS THAT WE ARE SPENDING MONEY ON INCARCERAING PEOPLE AND DIGGING A DEEPER HOLE FOR THEM THAT WILL COMPOUND THEIR VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION INSTEAD OF USING THAT MONEY IN MORE COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS.

>> THE RULING IS SAYING TO ME NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO BE OUTSIDE, YOU SHOULD BE INSIDE IN A SHELTER.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR SHELTER BEDS, WE HAVE AROUND 900.

THE COUNT SAYS WE HAVE OVER 1,800.

WHERE DO THE OTHER 900 PEOPLE GO?

ARE WE JUST GOING TO FIND THEM AND THROW THEM IN COUNTY JAIL?

WHAT WAS THE ACTUAL SOLUTION WITH THIS RULING?

>> Rich: THE REST OF THE CONVERSATION WITH MODERATOR CASSIDY IS COMING UP LATER IN THE NEWSCAST.

>>> NOW NAVIGATING AN AIRPORT IS CHALLENGING FOR ANYONE, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WITH HIDDEN DISABILITIES.

WHAT IS MAKING THINGS BETTER AT THE WILL ROGERS AIRPORT IN OKLAHOMA CITY?

STEVE SHAW IS HERE TO TELL US.

>> BACK IN MARCH, THEY IMPLEMENTED WHAT IS KNOWN WORLDWIDE AS THE HIDDEN DISABILITIES SUNFLOWER PROGRAM, WHICH LAUNCHED AT AN AIRPORT IN LONDON, ENGLAND EIGHT YEARS AGO.

>> GOOD MORNING.

>> GOOD MORNING.

>> HOW ARE THINGS?

>> Reporter: RUSSELL BUTLER, 77 YEARS OLD, SEVERE ARTHRITIS LIMITS HIM TO A WHEELCHAIR SOMETIMES.

RUSSELL TAKES GREAT PRIDE IN THE FACT THAT HE HAS VOLUNTEERED AS A TRAVELERS AIDE AT WILL ROGERS FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS.

NOW WHEN HE REPORTS FOR WORK, HE PICKS UP ONE OF THESE GREEN AND GOLD SUNFLOWER LAND YARDS AND WEARS IT AROUND HIS NECK.

>> PEOPLE JUST SIMPLY DON'T KNOW.

THEY'RE NOT BEING MEAN OR NOT COURTEOUS, THEY SIMPLY DON'T KNOW.

IT MAKES IT MUCH EASIER IF I, WITHOUT HAVING TO TAP EVERYONE ON THE SHOULDER AND SAY HOW DO I GET THIS?

HERE'S WHAT I NEED.

THEY CAN SEE THAT I'M NEATING ASSISTANCE.

>> IF YOU HAVE A HIDDEN DISABILITY, YOU CAN WALK UP AS YOU COME TO WILL ROGERS WORLD AIRPORT, WE HAVE AN INFORMATION BOOTH.

THERE IS ONE LOCATED AT BAGGAGE CLAIM AND THERE IS ONE AT THE TICKET COUNTER LEVEL.

YOU CAN WALK UP AND ASK ANY ONE OF OUR VOLUNTEERS THERE AT THE BOOTH IF THEY HAVE A HIDDEN DISABILITY LANYARD AVAILABLE.

>> Reporter: THEY DON'T RUN OUT OF THESE THINGS.

AIRPORT SPOKESPERSON STACY HAM SAYS THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF HIDDEN DISABILITIES THAT PEOPLE DEAL WITH, AUTISM, ANXIETY, LUPUS, CANCER, HEART CONDITIONS, MIGRAINES, IT'S A LONG LIST.

>> IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED.

I MEAN OBVIOUSLY IF YOU ARE BLIND AND WALKING AROUND WITH A CANE, WE KNOW IT.

THERE ARE MANY OF US, JUST LIKE MYSELF, WHO HAVE PARTIAL AIDES, PARTIAL THINGS THAT WE DON'T NECESSARILY TALK ABOUT OR SHOW.

>> YOU CAN'T MOVE AS FAST.

>> I CAN'T MOVE AS FAST, I CAN'T STAND, GOING THROUGH LINES.

>> OKLAHOMA HAS JUST UNDER 4 MILLION PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE.

691,000 OR 17.5% MORE THAN 1 IN 6 HAD DISABILITIES.

>> YES.

>> THAT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE.

>> IT IS A LOT OF PEOPLE.

I DON'T THINK THAT PEOPLE IN GENERAL UNDERSTAND WHAT HIDDEN DISABILITY IS.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE VISIBLE.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PHYSICAL IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE A DISABILITY.

>> WE HAVE ONE OF OUR LANYARDS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU.

>> IT JUST HELPS AIRPORT STAFF RECOGNIZE THAT HEY, THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING AND IT JUST KIND OF AGAIN PUTS THEM -- I DON'T WANT TO SAY PUTS THEM ON GUARD BUT THEY'RE AWARE.

THEY KNOW THAT THERE MAY BE SOMETHING YOU MAY NEED SOME HELP WITH.

>> BRANDON CRUMP IS A 43-YEAR-OLD MARRIED FATHER OF THREE WHO LIVES WITH EPILEPTIC SEIZURES THAT CAN BE TRIGGERED BY HEAT AND FLASHING LIGHTS.

>> IT CAUSES BARRIERS IN MY LIFE.

THAT IS KIND OF WHAT THE PROGRAM IS HELPING TO DO, TO LIMIT THOSE BARRIERS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.

>> 24-YEAR-OLD DANIELLE ROBINSON HAS A DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY, BUT DON'T TELL HER THAT.

DANIELLE JUST GOT A PROMOTION AT NOT YOUR AVERAGE JOE COFFEE SHOP IN MIDTOWN, OKLAHOMA CITY, WHERE SHE HAD BEEN THE RESIDENTIAL SOCIAL BUTTERFLY AND CASHIER FOR MORE THAN FIVE YEARS.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE JOE IS KNOWN FOR EMPLOYING FOLKS WITH SPECIAL CHALLENGES.

>> WHERE HAVE YOU FLOWN TO BESIDES CALIFORNIA?

>> I'VE BEEN TO DISNEY WORLD.

>> AND DANIELLE IS ALL GOOD WITH THE GREEN AND GOLD LANYARD AT WILL ROGERS.

>> I AGREE ON THAT.

WE NEED ONE.

>> YOU AGREE ON IT?

GOOD IDEA?

>> GOOD IDEA.

>> Reporter: LISA KELLY IS C.E.O.

OF THE STATE CHAPTER OF THE ARK OF THE UNITED STATES.

THE OKLAHOMA CHAPTER IS BASED IN TULSA.

THEY PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF PEOPLE WITH INTELLECTUAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES.

>> A LOT OF TIMES YOU KNOW PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO DISCLOSE AND SHARE THEIR DISABILITY BECAUSE THAT IS ONE PIECE OF THEM AND DOESN'T DEFINE THEM.

THE LANYARD PROGRAM ALLOWS THEM THE ABILITY TO TELL THE STAFF THAT THEY NEED ASSISTANCE.

THIS IS WHY.

THIS IS THE APPROPRIATE WAY TO ENGAGE AND INTERACT WITH THEM.

I THINK ADDITIONAL AWARENESS AND TREATING PEOPLE WITH RESPECT, AND LOOKING FOR WAYS THEY CAN LIVE A FULL AND FULFILLING LIFE AND THAT INCLUDES TRAVELING, WHETHER FOR TRAVELING FOR MEDICAL VISIONS, VISITING THEIR FAMILY, OR ON VACATION.

>> Reporter: JODY HARLAND WORKS FOR THE OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT FOR REHABILITATION SERVICES AND THEY SERVE 96,000 OKLAHOMANS EACH YEAR.

SHE SAYS WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE WILL ROGERS AIRPORT DESERVING TWO THUMBS UP.

>> IT IS BETTER COMMUNICATION FOR PEOPLE, WHETHER THEY ASK FOR A SOLUTION OR NOT, JUST KNOWING YOU CAN, WHEN YOU HAVE A DISABILITY THAT OTHERS CAN'T SEE, I THINK WOULD BE REALLY REASSURING.

IT'S AN OPTION SO YOU CAN ALWAYS USE ONE TIME YOU FLY AND THE NEXT TIME YOU DON'T NEED IT.

>> AIRPORT STAFF HAS BEEN THROUGH THE TRAINING ALL THE WAY FROM ALL OF OUR AIRLINES, TSA, EVEN OUR RETAIL AND RESTAURANT STAFF.

THEY ARE WELL AWARE.

YOU WILL EVEN SEE SOME OF OUR AIRPORT STAFF WEARING A HIDDEN DISABILITIES LANYARD AND HALF OF IT IS WHITE AND THE OTHER HALF IS GREEN.

THAT IS BASICALLY TO LET YOU KNOW THAT HEY, ASK ME ABOUT OUR HIDDEN DISABILITIES PROGRAM.

>> BY THE WAY, JULY IS NATIONAL DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH.

JULY 26TH IS THE 34th ANNIVERSARY OF THE PASSAGE OF THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT.

RICH.

>> Rich: THANK YOU STEVE.

OKLAHOMA COMMUTERS GOT GOOD NEWS WHEN THE OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION MET ON MONDAY MORNING.

THE END IS IN SIGHT FOR A PROJECT THAT HAS BEEN UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR MORE THAN A DECADE.

THE FINAL PHASE OF EXPANDING ACCESS IS NEARING COMPLETION.

>> WHAT THAT INVOLVES IS THE LINCOLN BOULEVARD RAMP TO I-44 IS CLOSED FOR THE FINAL PHASE OF THAT WORK AND THAT IS AFFECTING ACCESS TO THE MAIN LINE.

THE RAMP IS GOING TO GIVE LINCOLN BOULEVARD DRIVERS AN IMPROVED RAMP FOR BOTH I-44 AND A DIRECT LANE ON TO THE BROADWAY EXTENSION, ABOUT A $16 MILLION PROJECT.

AGAIN, IT REPRESENTS THE LAST PHASE OF THAT BIG INTERCHANGE IMPROVEMENT.

IT HAS TAKEN US MORE THAN 12 YEARS TO MAKE THE CONSTRUCTION IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE MADE OUT THERE AND TO MODERNIZE THAT INTERCHANGE.

WE DEFINITELY APPRECIATE THE PATIENCE OF THE TRAVELING PUBLIC WHILE WE DID THAT SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WORK.

THE INTERCHANGE IS FUNCTIONING AT A LEVEL NOW THAT WILL CARRY US LONG INTO THE FUTURE.

SO GOOD IMPROVEMENT, DESPERATELY NEEDED.

>> Rich: GATZ NOTED THE 25th ANNIVERSARY OF THE RAIL SERVICE RE-ESTABLISHED IN 1999.

>>> AFTER A VERY ACTIVE TORNADO SEASON, 102 REPORTED TWISTERS IN APRIL, AND MAY, JUNE QUIETED DOWN WITH NO TORNADOES RECORDED IN OKLAHOMA, WHICH ISN'T TO SAY THERE WASN'T PLENTY OF SEVERE WEATHER.

ACCORDING TO THE MONTHLY REPORT BY THE OKLAHOMA CLIMATOLOGICAL SURVEY, THERE WAS A ONCE IN A THOUSAND YEARS RAINFALL IN THE PANHANDLE, PRODUCING DANGEROUS FLOODING CONDITIONS.

SOME OTHER NUMBERS OF NOTE, THE AVERAGE STATEWIDE TEMPERATURE IN JUNE WAS 80.1 DEGREES, ALMOST 3 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.

HEAT INDEX VALUES ABOVE 110 DEGREES WERE RECORDED 235 TIMES LAST MONTH.

THE TULSA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT REPORTING A HIGH OF 118 DEGREES ON JUNE 29TH.

LOOKING TO HAVE THE CLIMATE PREDICTION FOR JULY HAS MORE OF THE SAME, HOTTER AND DRIER THAN NORMAL.

>>> THE CITY OF TULSA RECEIVED ANOTHER MASSIVE INNOVATION GRANT FROM THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.

THAT STORY TOPS THIS WEEK'S OKLAHOMA BUSINESS REVIEW.

>> TULSA'S INNOVATION LABS HAS BEEN AWARDED A $51 MILLION FEDERAL GRANT TO INCREASE THE ABILITY TO ACCESS THE GLOBAL AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS MARKET.

VALUED AT $1.3 TRILLION.

TULSA WAS ONE OF 12 TECH HUBS IN THE COUNTRY TO RECEIVE THE FUNDING FROM THE U.S. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION.

TULSA INNOVATION LABS TARGETED SIX AREAS FOR INVESTMENT, INCLUDING NEW TESTING AND SIMULATION FACILITIES, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, AND CREATING AN A.I.

CENTER OF EXCELLENCE TO EXPAND OPPORTUNITIES FOR UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES.

THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY ANNOUNCED A TRIBE CYBERSECURITY GRANT PROGRAM WITH MORE THAN $18 MILLION AVAILABLE TO HELP TRIBAL NATIONS MANAGE AND REDUCE THE THREAT OF CYBER ATTACKS THAT COULD IMPACT BUSINESSES AND CITIZENS.

THE MUSCOGEE, CREE, CHEROKEE RECEIVED MORE THAN $3 MILLION IN FEDERAL AGE.

ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION MAINTENANCE CONTRACTOR GRANTED A 1 YEAR MEMBERSHIP, WIDELY USED BY STOCK MARKET AND INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS AS A BEFRNG MARKET FOR SUCCESSFUL COMPANIES WITH AN ESTABLISHED RECORD OF GROWTH.

JOHN HEWITT SAID THE ADDITION IS AN IMPORTANT MILESTONE FOR HIS ORGANIZATION.

THE LATEST COST OF THOSE INDEX.

THE AVERAGE OKLAHOMA HOUSEHOLD PAYS $1,786 IN MONTHLY BILLS, WHICH INCLUDES MORTGAGE, RENT, AUTO, UTILITIES, INSURANCE, AND OTHER EXPENSES.

PER YEAR, OKLAHOMANS PAY JUST OVER $21,000 IN MONTHLY EXPENDITURES, WHICH IS 60% LESS THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE.

EDMUND IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE CITY FOR MONTHLY BILLS AND THE MOST EXPENSIVE COUNTY.

THE ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS DONATED $30,000 TO PROVIDE AID TO THE CITY OF SULFUR, ARDMORE, TO HELP WITH RECOVERY EFFORTS, A RESULT OF SPRINGTIME TORNADOS.

THE OKLAHOMA CITY METRO ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS HAS ALMOST 7,400 MEMBERS AND HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE SINCE 1903.

THIS IS THE OKLAHOMA BUSINESS REVIEW.

>> Rich: WELL, THERE IS ALWAYS AN EXTRA DEMAND FOR BLOOD DURING THE SUMMERTIME.

MORE PEOPLE ARE TRAVELING AND GETTING OUTSIDE AND ENGAGING IN ACTIVITIES THAT CAN LEAD TO INJURIES, NOT TO MENTION ALL THOSE FIREWORKS ON THE 4TH OF JULY.

RIGHT NOW, THERE IS NOT AN EMERGENCY SHORTAGE OF BLOOD IN OKLAHOMA, BUT WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO ONE.

ANDREW HARTSHORN REPORTS ON A BLOOD DRIVE THIS WEEK TO HELP ADDRESS THE PROBLEM.

>> SO, THE BLOOD DRIVE USUALLY WORKS FOR YOUTH AND HIGH SCHOOL.

WE'RE IN OUR GYM, WE'RE IN OUR CAFETERIA RIGHT NOW.

WE HAVE STUDENTS COMING IN AND GIVING BLOOD.

WE HAVE ADULTS FROM THE COMMUNITY THAT COME IN AND GIVE BLOOD.

>> I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF CHILDREN AND EVERYBODY HAS TO STEP UP AND HELP OUT.

>> THE SUMMERS ARE A CRITICAL TIME FOR THE BLOOD SUPPLY, TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE BLOOD THAT PATIENTS NEED.

PEOPLE ARE OUT TRAVELING, SCHOOL IS NOT IN SESSION, WE AREN'T ABLE TO SEE AS MANY DONORS AS WE TYPICALLY DO OUT AT THE MOBILE BLOOD DRIVE.

THE SUMMER IS A CRITICAL TIME TO SEE ENOUGH DONORS.

>> WE RELY HEAVILY ON OUR HIGH SCHOOL BLOOD DRIVE.

DURING THE SUMMER, HIGH SCHOOL KIDS ARE NOT IN SCHOOL.

SO WHEN WE DON'T HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL DRIVE, WE HAVE TO MAKE UP FOR THOSE GAPS.

NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW THIS, BUT OUR HIGH SCHOOL DRIVES MAKE UP 30% OF OUR NORMAL BLOOD BEING BROUGHT IN DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR, SO THAT IS A HUGE AMOUNT, OR A HUGE MISS THAT WE'RE NOT GETTING DURING THE SUMMERTIME.

>> SO WE ARE JUST NOT REACHING ENOUGH NEW DONORS QUICKLY ENOUGH TO REPLENISH THE DONORS THAT ARE NOT ABLE TO DONATE.

A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE IN THE MILITARY AND IT'S NOT PART OF OUR CULTURE NOW WHERE PEOPLE ARE TEACHING THEIR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS TO DONATE.

WE HAVE TO REACH MORE DONORS AND BE CERTAIN THAT THE BLOOD SUPPLY IS STABLE FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES.

BLOOD CANNOT BE MANUFACTURED SO WE HAVE TO BE CERTAIN THAT NEW DONORS ARE COMING OUT AND GIVING IN THIS GENEROUS WAY AND DONATING AND SAVING A LIFE.

>> SO OUR DONORS AND SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE KNOW THAT WE ARE ASKING FOR BLOOD ALL THE TIME.

PEOPLE SAY OH, YOU ALWAYS NEED BLOOD.

THAT'S TRUE, WE ALWAYS NEED BLOOD, BUT THERE ARE LEVELS.

IF WE DECLARE AN EMERGENCY BLOOD SHORTAGE, THAT MEANS WE ARE IN A CRISIS.

THAT MEANS WE NEED BLOOD RIGHT NOW.

>> SO EVERYBODY ASSUMES THE FIRST THING TO THINK OF WHEN SOMEONE NEEDING BLOOD, YOU THINK OF PEOPLE IN CAR ACCIDENTS, A GUNSHOT VICTIM, THAT KIND OF THING.

THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER REASONS THAT PEOPLE NEED BLOOD.

CANCER PATIENTS NEED BLOOD.

THEY USE A LOT OF PLATELETS BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN THE CHEMOTHERAPY CAN WREAK HAVOC ON THEIR BODY.

>> ONE IN SEVEN PEOPLE THAT GO TO THE HOSPITAL WILL USE BLOOD PRODUCTS.

ABOUT 25% OF THE BLOOD WE COLLECT IS USED FOR CANCER PATIENTS.

IT'S CRITICAL THAT THE BLOOD IS THERE FOR THE PATIENTS.

>> MY FATHER HAD A HEART TRANSPLANT AND IT TOOK 88 BLOOD DONORS TO SAVE HIS LIFE AND THAT'S ON TOP OF THE ORGAN DONOR.

SO WHEN YOU HEAR THAT IT TOOK 88 DONATIONS, THAT MEANS 88 PEOPLE HAD TO GIVE BLOOD FOR MY DAD TO BE ALIVE TODAY.

SO HEARING THAT AND SOME OF OUR BLOOD DRIVES MAYBE BRING IN 50 PEOPLE.

SOMETIMES THAT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR ONE PERSON, BUT THAT'S WHERE IT GETS SCARY.

>> TRULY EVERY BLOOD DRIVE COUNTS.

WHEN WE PUT A BLOOD DRIVE ON THE CALENDAR, WE'RE PROMISING UNITS TO PATIENTS IN THE HOSPITAL.

EVERYTHING WE COLLECT IS VERY IMPORTANT.

WE'RE LOOKING AT IT EVERY SINGLE DAY TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED FOR THE PATIENTS.

THE SUMMER IS A DIFFICULT TIME TO COLLECT THOSE DONATIONS.

I DON'T KNOW THAT I CAN PUT A NUMBER ON IT, BUT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE AS MANY DONORS AS POSSIBLE.

>> Reporter: ANDREW HARTSHORN, THE OKLAHOMA NEWS REPORT.

>> Rich: THANK YOU ANDREW AND THANKS TO ALL THOSE FOLKS THAT DONATE.

>>> THE U.S. SUPREME COURT RULED THAT IT'S LEGAL TO BAN OUTDOOR CAMPING ON PUBLIC AND STATE OWNED LAND.

CRITICS SAY IT WILL MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR OKLAHOMA'S HOMELESS POPULATION TO FIND A PLACE TO LIVE AND SLEEP.

WITH MORE ON THAT, HERE'S MODERATOR CASSIDY MUD AND HER PANEL OF GUEST FOR THIS WEEK'S IN-DEPTH CONVERSATION.

>> THE CAMPING BAN WILL CRIMINALIZE UNAUTHORIZED CAMPING ON STATE OWNED LAND LIKE HIGHWAYS AND UNDERPASSES.

HERE TO DISCUSS THE DETAILS BEHIND THE SUPREME COURT'S RULING AND THE IMPLICATIONS OF THAT RULING IS SHEILA FARLY, THE CLINICAL DIRECTOR OF PROGRAMS IN OKLAHOMA CITY FOR THE MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION OF OKLAHOMA, DAVID, THE CHIEF COLLABORATION OFFICER FOR THE HOMELESS ALLIANCE AND HEATHER, ONE OF OUR CONTENT PARTNERS WITH THE OKLAHOMA WATCH, WHO HAS BEEN FOLLOWING THIS NEWS OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME HERE ON IN-DEPTH.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

>> HEATHER, YOU HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS DECISION FOR A WHILE NOW.

CAN YOU GIVE US A RECAP OF THE SITUATION?

>> YOU BET CASSIDY.

THE SUPREME COURT DECIDED THAT IT IS NOT CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT TO FINE AND/OR CRIMINALIZE HOMELESSNESS.

SO IT'S NOT CRUEL BECAUSE CRUEL PUNISHMENT IS THOSE INTENDED TO BRING TERROR OR PAIN OR DISGRACE TO THE RECIPIENT.

IT'S NOT CONSIDERED UNUSUAL BECAUSE FINING AND IMPRISONMENT IS NOT UNUSUAL OUTCOMES FOR CONDUCT THAT IS ILLEGAL.

SO, THE SUPREME COURT DECIDED THAT IN THIS CASE, LOCALITIES IN STATES DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO CREATE CAMPING BANS AND TO POLICE THEIR HOMELESS POPULATION.

>> WHILE IT WON'T GO INTO EFFECT UNTIL NOVEMBER 1ST, HAVE WE SEEN ANY IMMEDIATE IMPACT FROM THIS DECISION?

>> I MEAN WHAT WE SEEN CURRENTLY IS OVER 20% OF THE POPULATION IN THE OKLAHOMA CITY JAIL ARE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE UNSHELTERED OR EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, WHO WILL BE RELEASED TO THE STREETS.

WHAT WE SEE IS, YOU KNOW, THIS RULING BEING INCREDIBLY HARMFUL AND CRIMINALIZING HOMELESSNESS, WHICH DOES NOTHING TO ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSE AND ONLY ADDS TO THE BURDEN ON INDIVIDUALS IN OUR COMMUNITY.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE ARE PREPARING FOR THIS LAW TO BE IMPLEMENTED AND WE ARE, YOU KNOW, BRACING FOR IT TRULY AND YOU KNOW, WHEN WE TALKED TO OUR GUEST AT OUR DAY SHELTER, WE SAY THIS IS GOING TO DO NOTHING TO SOLVE THEIR SITUATION AND IT'S INCREDIBLY HARMFUL AND DISHEARTENING, AND IT'S NOT THE RIGHT APPROACH.

IT PROVIDES NO SOLUTION.

>> YOU SAID 20% OF THE PEOPLE IN THE OKLAHOMA CITY JAIL ARE ALREADY PEOPLE IN THE SITUATION.

THEY HAVE NOWHERE TO GO.

THEY ARE IMPRISONED BECAUSE OF BEING HOMELESS?

>> IT'S NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE HOMELESS, THEY'RE NOT THERE FOR THAT SPECIFIC REASON, RIGHT?

THEY ARE THERE AND BECAME PART OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM AND EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS WHEN THEY ENTERED.

THAT HAPPENED EARLIER THIS YEAR.

>> SHEILA, LIKE HEATHER MENTIONED, THE SUPREME COURT RULED THIS BECAUSE THEY SAID IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AS CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?

>> I WOULD SAYS THE CRUEL.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVING IN POVERTY, SO YOU WANT TO GIVE THEM A FINE.

THEY DON'T HAVE THE MEANS TO PAY, WHICH EVENTUALLY LEADS TO A WARRANT.

WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT POSSIBLY INCREASING OUR RECIDIVISM BECAUSE OF THIS RULING.

IT FIND IT TO BE VERY CRUEL.

>> DAVID, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, IT'S NOT AS EASY AS GOING TO A SHELTER.

I HEARD FROM PEOPLE ON THE STREET SAYING THEY DON'T FEEL SAFE AT A CERTAIN SHELTER.

MAYBE THEY GOT IN A FIGHT OR WORST-CASE SCENARIO, MAYBE THERE WERE BEDBUGS AT A CERTAIN SHELTER.

WHAT ARE THESE PEOPLE SUPPOSED TO DO?

WHERE ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO GO?

>> RIGHT, THAT IS ASSUMING THERE ARE BEDS AVAILABLE.

SO, YOU KNOW, OUR SHELTERS ARE OVERCAPACITY EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.

THERE IS NO ROOM FOR EVERYONE.

THAT IS A BIG PROBLEM NOW.

WHERE ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO GO?

I MEAN I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS MANY TIMES AND PUTTING MYSELF IN THAT SITUATION AS A FATHER, I KNOW THAT IT WOULD BE REALLY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO MAKE THAT DECISION TO GO INTO A SHELTER WITH MY SON AND LIKELY HAVE TO BE SEPARATED FROM MY WIFE.

IN A MOMENT OF CRISIS, THAT IS THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO.

SO, WE NEED TO, YOU KNOW, ADVOCATE FOR REAL SOLUTIONS THAT ARE COMPASSIONATE AND HUMANE, THAT ARE EFFECTIVE, AND CREATE POLICIES THAT PROVIDE, YOU KNOW, THIS REAL SOLUTION LIKE INCREASED HOUSING AND SUPPORT SERVICES.

>> AND I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE REAL SOLUTIONS A LITTLE BIT LATER.

HEATHER, WHAT IS THE SUPREME COURT'S REASONING ON ALLOWING THESE LAWS TO GO IN EFFECT?

>> PART OF IT IS THAT THEY POINTED TO A RULING, A PREVIOUS RULING THAT DEFINES CONDUCT AND STATUS.

SO, YOU CANNOT CRIMINALIZE SOMEONE FOR THEIR STATUS.

YOU CAN CRIMINALIZE SOMEONE FOR CONDUCT.

SO THE STATUS OF BEING A HOMELESS INDIVIDUAL IS EVIDENCED BY SEEING THEM SLEEP ON THE STREET.

THAT IS EVIDENCE THAT THEIR STATUS AS A HOMELESS INDIVIDUAL.

NOW, ARE THEY BREAKING LAWS?

IS THEIR CONDUCT ILLEGAL?

SO THAT WAS A BIG DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN STATUS AND CONDUCT, AND HAD A LOT TO DO WITH THE RULING.

SO, ALONG WITH THE 8th AMENDMENT, CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT CLAUSE, THEY ALSO LOOKED AT WHETHER HOMELESSNESS QUALIFIED AS A STATUS OR A CONDUCT.

THEY DETERMINED THAT HOMELESSNESS IS A STATUS BUT WHEN A PERSON VIOLATES A STATE ORDINANCE OR A CITY ORDINANCE, THEY ARE ACTUALLY BREAKING THE LAW, WHICH IS CONDUCT.

>> HOW IS THE STATE AND CITY ORDINANCE DECIDED?

>> YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME INFLUENTIAL THINK-TANKS LIKE THE CISERO GROUP.

THAT'S A CONSERVATIVE THINK-TANK OUT OF AUSTIN, TEXAS.

THEY PROVIDE MODEL BILLS TO MORE THAN 20 STATES THIS SESSION AND OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

THE MODELS CALL FOR A COMPLETE BAN OF ALL CAMPING ON PUBLIC PROPERTY, THEIR MODEL BILLS ALSO CALL FOR MORE STRICT REGULATIONS AND MORE STRICT PUNISHMENTS, AND THEY ALSO CALL FOR GOVERNMENT SANCTION ENCAMPMENTS, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT MANY STATES HAVE TRIED TO INCORPORATE INTO THEIR STRATEGY FOR HELPING THE HOMELESS.

SOME HAVE GONE PRETTY WELL.

THEY HAVE THE ESPERANZA COMMUNITY WHICH STARTED OFF ROUGH, BUT WHEN THE NON-PROFIT GROUP CAME OVER, THIS WAS THE OTHER FOUNDATION THAT CAME IN AND TOOK OVER, THEY WERE ABLE TO REALLY TURN IT AROUND FROM ITS VERY, VERY DISTURBING BEGINNINGS.

THEY'RE SEEING SOME SUCCESS THERE.

THE GOVERNMENT SANCTION HOUSING IS A VERY CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC AND IF OKLAHOMA CONTINUES ON THIS TRAJECTORY, FORESEEING CAMPING BANS, BROADENING THOSE LAWS, IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THE NEXT STEP THAT WE COULD SEE MIGHT BE GOVERNMENT SANCTIONED ENCAMPMENTS FOR HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS.

>> DAVID, HOW MANY PEOPLE IN OKLAHOMA AND MORE SPECIFICALLY OKLAHOMA CITY AND TULSA ARE LIVING WITHOUT HOMES?

>> SO, DURING OUR POINT IN TIME COUNT, WHICH IS A SNAPSHOT OF THE HOMELESS POPULATION IN OUR CITY, IN OKLAHOMA CITY, WHICH HAPPENED EARLY OR LATE IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR, WE FOUND OVER 1,800 INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IN THAT GIVEN NIGHT.

WE HAVE AN APPROXIMATE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ENTERING THE HOMELESSNESS SYSTEM OR EMERGENCY SHELTERS.

ARE WE SEEING THEM BE UNSHELTERED, THAT IS 5,000 INDIVIDUALS INFLOW INTO OUR SYSTEM EVERY YEAR.

WE SERVE 21,000 INDIVIDUALS THROUGH VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS AND OUR ENTIRE CONTINUUM OF CARE IN 2023.

THOSE ARE NUMBERS THAT ARE TELLING OF THE SITUATION THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH.

>> CASSIDY, IF I COULD JUMP IN.

THESE NUMBERS ARE A SNAPSHOT LIKE DAVID SAID.

WE ALSO KNOW THAT THERE ARE MANY, MANY MORE PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS.

THIS COUNT WAS ONLY -- YOU KNOW, IT WAS PERFORMED BY VOLUNTEERS WHO WENT TO THE ACTUAL ENCAMPMENTS.

WE KNOW THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE DOUBLED UP, WHICH MEANS COUCH HOMELESS.

WE KNOW THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE CAR HOMELESS.

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST OFF THE GRID WHO WE CAN'T COUNT.

SO TO BOIL IT DOWN TO 1,838 IN OKLAHOMA CITY AND 1,427 IN TULSA, THAT'S A VERY LOW ESTIMATE.

>> THERE ARE A LARGE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT BEING REACHED BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT BEING SEEN.

>> RIGHT.

>> I WILL ADD, TO SUPPLEMENT THOSE NUMBERS, WE HAVE WHAT WE CALL THE HOMELESSNESS MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM, WHICH IS A SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS US TO TRACK INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE TOUCHING THE SYSTEM, RIGHT?

SO MAYBE THEY'RE GETTING A MEAL, THEY'RE GETTING A SHOWER, THEY ARE HAVING A NIGHT IN AN EMERGENCY SHELTER.

WE SERVED 21,000 PEOPLE THROUGH THAT SYSTEM IN 2023.

SO THAT IS A MORE, YOU KNOW, MORE APPROXIMATELY ACCURATE COUNT OF WHAT THE SITUATION THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH AND THE NUMBERS.

>> SHEILA, I MEAN LET'S TALK ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH EFFECTS FROM THE DECISION FROM THE SUPREME COURT.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY HOW THIS IS GOING TO IMPACT THOSE WHO ARE ALREADY LIVING WITHOUT HOMES IN OKLAHOMA?

>> YEAH, I MEAN I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE ANXIETY THAT FOLKS ARE FEELING AT THIS POINT.

DAVID HAS TALKED ABOUT HOW THE SHELTERS ARE FULL AND TO ME, YOU KNOW, THIS RULING IS SAYING TO ME THAT NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO BE OUTSIDE.

YOU ALL NEED TO BE INSIDE IN A SHELTER, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR SHELTER BEDS IN OKC, WE HAVE AROUND 900.

POINT IN TIME COUNT SAYS WE HAVE OVER 1,800.

SO WHERE DO THE OTHER 900 PEOPLE GO?

ARE WE GOING TO FIND THEM AND THROW THEM IN COUNTY JAIL?

THAT IS MY QUESTION.

WHAT IS THE SOLUTION WITH THIS RULING?

>> DAVID, DOES YOUR TEAM HAVE ANY PLANS TO DO MORE OUTREACH TO TRY TO HELP PEOPLE FROM BEING IMPRISONED?

>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

I MEAN WE DO THIS EVERYDAY.

SO WE HAVE TEAMS OF OUTREACH THAT ARE DIVIDED THROUGHOUT THE CITY, THAT PROVIDE THAT SUPPORT.

WE GO AND MEET PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE AT AND WE TRY TO ADDRESS AND PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING.

NOW AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, WE HAVE 20% OF OUR POPULATION INCARCERATED ALREADY.

THESE NUMBERS ARE ONLY GOING TO INCREASE AND THAT IS INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE.

IT IS ACTUALLY KIND OF RIDICULOUS THAT WE ARE SPENDING MONEY ON INCARCERATING PEOPLE AND DIGGING A DEEPER HOLE FOR THEM THAT WILL COMPOUND THEIR VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION INSTEAD OF USING THAT MONEY IN MORE COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS LIKE HOUSING THEM AND PROVIDING SUPPORT THEY NEED, MENTAL HEALTH ACCESS SO THEY CAN HAVE THE TOOLS TO HELP THEMSELVES.

>> SHEILA, I WANT TO COME BACK TO YOU OFF OF THAT.

WHAT ROLE WOULD YOU SAY LEGISLATURE -- THE LEGISLATURE HAS IN PLAYING IN PROVIDING RESOURCES AND MATCHING WHAT THE SUPREME COURT HAS DECIDED.

>> WELL HONESTLY, I MEAN MORE MONEY NEEDS TO BE PUT TOWARDS HOUSING.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, HOUSING IS A HUMAN RIGHT.

CRIMINALIZING PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO LIVE OUTSIDE, I'M GOING TO SAY IT AGAIN, IS CRUEL.

WE NEED MORE HOUSING AND THAT IS WHERE OUR MONEY SHOULD BE GOING.

>> HEATHER, DO YOU THINK THE OUTCOMES FROM THIS DECISION COULD HELP SHAPE POLICIES STATEWIDE?

>> WELL, DEFINITELY.

I MEAN THIS IS A STATEWIDE LAW THAT WILL BE IMPLEMENTED ON NOVEMBER 1ST.

YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT CAMPING BANS AND THESE TYPES OF MEASURES REALLY FLY IN THE FACE OF WHAT OUR CITY IS TRYING TO DO WITH OUR KEY TO HOME AND WHAT TULSA IS TRYING TO DO WITH PATHWAYS TO HOME.

WE HAVE THESE HUGE COALITIONS OF NON-PROFITS AND PHILANTHROPISTS AND GROUPS THAT HAVE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER FOR YEARS NOW TO CREATE RAPID REHOUSING PATHWAYS, TO HELP ELIMINATE ENCAMPMENTS ONE BY ONE, BUT NOT PUTTING THOSE PEOPLE IN JAIL, PUTTING THOSE PEOPLE IN HOMES.

SO, YES, IT WILL EFFECT OUR STATEWIDE POLICY BUT NOT IN THE WAY THAT MAYBE WE WOULD HOPE IT WOULD.

NOW WE HAVE THE STATE AT ODDS WITH THE CITY.

>> DAVID, LET'S TALK MORE ABOUT THE RESOURCES THAT YOU MENTIONED BEFORE.

>> SURE.

>> TELL ME ABOUT WHAT IS AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW.

>> YEAH, SO WE HAVE EMERGENCY SHELTERS, WE HAVE FOOD BANKS, HEALTH CLINICS, NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS PROVIDES ESSENTIAL SERVICES.

THE HOMELESS ALLIANCE HOUSE 750 INDIVIDUALS JUST LAST YEAR, THE YEAR PRIOR IT WAS 835 INDIVIDUALS.

WE KNOW WHAT WORKS.

WE DO THIS EVERY SINGLE DAY.

WE KNOW THAT WE CAN SOLVE HOMELESSNESS, IT IS A MATTER OF PRIORITIZING IT AND SHIFTING OUR FOCUS TO ADDRESS THIS VERY REAL ISSUE.

THERE ARE RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE.

THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH.

SO WE HAVE THE SOLUTIONS, WE NEED TO SCALE THEM AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY ACCESSING OUR SHELTERS ARE BEING CONNECTED WITH THE RESOURCES THAT THEY NEED AND THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO HELP THEMSELVES.

EMERGENCY SHELTERS ARE OFTEN AND ARE MENTIONED IN THIS BILL AS A POTENTIAL SOLUTION FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS TO GO TO AND BE OUT OF THE PUBLIC'S EYE.

THE TRUTH IS THAT EMERGENCY SHELTERS ARE JUST THAT, THEY'RE AN EMERGENCY SHELTER.

THEY DON'T PROVIDE LONG-TERM SOLUTIONS, RIGHT?

OUR SHELTERS ARE OVERWHELMED.

THE RATIO BETWEEN ADVOCATES AND CASE MANAGERS, SOCIAL WORKERS TO INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ENTERING THE SHELTER IS ASTRONOMICAL AND IT IS REALLY DIFFICULT TO, YOU KNOW, WORK WITH SOMEBODY OVERNIGHT WHILE THEY HAD A REALLY TOUGH DAY OF HEAT AND DIFFICULT WEATHER OR COLD, RIGHT?

DEPENDING ON THE SEASON, TO THEN TALK ABOUT HOW TO SOLVE THAT SITUATION AND SO WE NEED MORE RESOURCES IN THOSE SHELTERS AND I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THE SOLUTION IS NOT THE EMERGENCY SHELTER.

THEY ARE PART OF THE SOLUTION, BUT THEY ARE JUST A VERY TEMPORARY SOLUTION FOR THIS INDIVIDUAL'S.

LONG-TERM SOLUTIONS IS HOUSING FIRST MODELS AND MORE SERVICES THAT WE KNOW WORK AND THAT WE ARE UTILIZING EVERYDAY.

>> ALL RIGHT, THAT'S ALL THE TIME WE HAVE.

I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR JOINING ME HERE TODAY.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> Rich: CASSIDY, GREAT JOB.

WHEN YOU HAVE A BUSINESS THAT HAS BEEN AROUND 130 YEARS, YOU KNOW YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT AND THAT'S CERTAINLY THE CASE FOR THE HENRY THE HATTER STORE.

WE'RE GOING TO HEAD TO THE MOTOR CITY TO SEE WHAT MAKES PEOPLE MAD ABOUT HENRY'S HATS.

>> MY NAME IS JOE, CURRENT CARETAKER AT HENRY THE HATTER.

THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL, I ALWAYS COLLECTED HATS.

I GOT MY GRANDPA'S OLD HAT.

I NEVER KNEW I WAS GOING TO GET INTO THE BUSINESS.

I WAS WORKING IN A BAKERY, A LOCAL BAKERY WHERE I WAS BORN AND RAISED.

MY HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL ASKED ME WHAT I WAS DOING AT THE TIME.

I WAS WORKING AT THE BAKERY.

HE SAID HE HAD A JOB INTERVIEW SET UP.

I INTERVIEWED A WEEK AFTER MY WEDDING.

I WAS HIRED BEGINNING JANUARY 3, 1985.

>> THE ORIGINAL HENRY WAS A SKILLED HAT CLEANER AND HE FIGURED IF HE COULD CLEAN THEM, HE COULD SELL THEM.

IN 1983, HE OPENED THE DOORS FOR BUSINESS.

THEY BECAME THE EXCLUSIVE HATTER OF DETROIT AND GAINED NATIONAL ATTENTION.

IN 1941, HENRY PASSED.

THE BUSINESS CHANGED HANDS.

>> A HATTER FROM NEW YORK HAD HIS OWN BUSINESS, WANTED TO EXPAND, CAME TO DETROIT, ASKED THE CAB DRIVER TAKE ME TO HENRY THE HATTER.

THE CAB DRIVER SAID WHICH ONE?

HE KNEW THERE WERE MORE THAN ONE LOCATION.

HE CAME TO THE MAIN STORE IN THE DETROIT AREA AND ALMOST BOUGHT THIS PLACE ON THE SPOT.

HE WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THE CLIENTELE, THE MERCHANDISE, AND IT'S BEEN IN THE FAMILY SINCE 1948.

I WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE IT WHEN WE LOST THE LEASE ON OUR STORE IN BROADWAY IN 2017.

>> WHEN WE LOST OUR LEASE BACK IN 2017 AFTER BEING IN THE BUILDING FOR 65 YEARS, CUSTOMERS CAME TO US.

MY DAD, MY GRANDPA, MY GREAT GRANDPA USE TO SHOP WITH YOU GUYS, I WANTED TO COME HERE TO SEE WHAT THEY WERE BUYING.

I REMEMBER COMING HERE WITH MY GRANDPA.

I WANT THAT SAME FEELING WHEN HE BOUGHT A HAT, HE FELT GOOD WALKING OUT OF THE STORE.

HE KNEW HE LOOKED GOOD.

I WANT THAT SAME FEELING.

THE LOVE THAT THE CITY OF DETROIT SHOWED US WHEN WE LOST THE LEASE HELPED US TO MOVE INTO THE BUILDING HERE.

>> Reporter: WE VISITED THE MAIN LOCATION AND QUICKLY LEARNED THAT HATS ARE COOL.

THEY COME IN SO MANY STYLES AND COLORS.

TAKING A MOMENT TO PAUSE AND TAKE IT ALL IN, IT WAS EVIDENT THAT HATS ARE IMPORTANT AND SIGNIFICANT NOT ONLY TODAY BUT ALSO THROUGHOUT HISTORY.

>> WE WERE ASKED TO PROVIDE A HAT FOR EISENHOWER FOR HIS SECOND INAUGURATION.

THEY DON'T A FULL-FLEDGE FORMALITY WITH A TOP HAT.

HE HAD SOMEONE PARTNER WITH HENRY THE HATTER.

IT'S NOT AS FORMAL AS A DRESS HAT BUT STILL FORMAL ENOUGH FOR INAUGURATION.

>> Reporter: THE PRESIDENT'S HAT AT AN INAUGURATION IS A BIG DEAL.

SOME BLAME JOHN F. KENNEDY AND HIS CHOICE NOT TO WEAR A HAT TO THE DECLINE OF MEN NOT WEARING HATS.

>> AT THAT TIME, AUTOMOBILES WERE BECOMING PREVALENT.

GENTLEMEN WEREN'T STANDING OUT IN THE STREET CORNERS WAITING FOR A CAB.

SO PART OF YOUR UNIFORM, ESPECIALLY COMING OUT OF THE SERVICE.

MEN DIDN'T WANT TO WEAR UNIFORMS, GOT AWAY FROM THE HAT, AND DIDN'T NEED IT AS A FORM TO PROTECT THEM FROM THE WEATHER.

THEY STARTED GOING WITHOUT A HAT.

A HAT IS PERSONAL.

ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHEN YOU PUT ONE ON AND YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR, WE CAN TELL AS A SALES PERSON WHEN THEY LOOK IN THE MIRROR, IF THEY DON'T LIKE THE HAT, THEY WILL TELL YOU STRAIGHT UP I DON'T LIKE IT.

IF THEY LIKE IT, YOU WILL SEE A SMILE.

YOU WILL SEE THEM STAND A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IN THAT MIRROR.

THAT IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

AS PEOPLE COME IN AND SAY, YOU KNOW, I'VE NEVER WORN A HAT BEFORE, PLEASE HELP ME.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR.

THAT'S ONE OF OUR MAIN OBJECTIVES.

>> I HAVE WORN MANY HATS IN MY LIFETIME.

TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A PROFESSIONAL FIT ME WAS A CHANCE I COULDN'T PASS UP.

JOE HELPED ME FIT IN THE RIGHT SIZED HAT, FINDING THE PERFECT HAT TO MATCH MY PERSONAL STYLE.

>> FIRST TIME HAT BUYERS, WE HAVE THEM TRY SOMETHING ON THAT IS SOFTER IN TEXTURE.

IT JUST FITS BETTER.

SOME OF THE OTHER DRESS HATS THAT WE CARRY HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE STRUCTURE TO THEM, SO YOU HAVE TO BREAK THEM IN.

YOU HAVE TO WEAR THEM A FEW TIMES TO LET THE HEAT SHAPE THE HAT ITSELF.

SO WE START IN THE FIRST CABINET THERE WHERE THE HATS ARE SOFT.

THEY CAN BE WORN UP OR DOWN AND CHANGE THE STYLE.

IT'S WHAT THE CUSTOMER SEES IN THE MIRROR THAT EFFECTS WHETHER THEY PURCHASE THE HAT OR NOT.

>> I FOUND THE PERFECT HAT AND IT HAD TO BE STRETCHED A LITTLE BIT TO FIT MY HEAD BUT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL WAS TOPNOTCH.

I FELT LIKE A REAL SOMEBODY.

>> ANYONE THAT MAKES THE CASH REGISTER RING, WE CONSIDER A CELEBRITY.

>> Reporter: TO BE COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT, I WAS EXCITED AND A LITTLE GIDDY, KNOWING I WAS LEAVING THE STORE WITH A HATBOX WITH AN ICONIC HENRY THE HATTER LOGO ON IT, JUST LIKE SO MANY HAD DONE OVER THE LAST 130 YEARS.

>> Rich: ON THE NEXT EDITION OF THE OKLAHOMA NEWS REPORT, PEOPLE OF FAITH WHO HAVE DIFFERENT VIEWS, A NEW MANDATE TO PUT BIBLES IN PUBLIC SCHOOL CLASSROOMS AND INCLUDE THEM AS PART OF THE CURRICULUM.

JASON DOYLE REPORTS NEXT FRIDAY AT 7:00.

>>> WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE YOU THIS WEEK WITH A LOOK AT SKELETONS IN THE MUSEUM IN OKLAHOMA CITY PUT TOGETHER FOR US BY OETA'S MATT BARNETT.
