[00:00.000 --> 00:05.200] This news brief brought to you by the International News Net. [00:05.200 --> 00:11.560] The federal minimum wage rose to $7.25 an hour from $6.55 on Friday. [00:11.560 --> 00:17.800] Eighteen states plus D.C. already have minimum wages higher or equal to $7.25. [00:17.800 --> 00:22.440] Twenty-three states where minimum wage workers are covered by the Federal Fair Labor Standards [00:22.440 --> 00:26.280] Act will enjoy the $0.70 an hour increase. [00:26.280 --> 00:31.000] The Interior Department announced Monday it is temporarily barring the filing of new mining [00:31.000 --> 00:38.600] claims, including for uranium, on nearly one million acres near the Grand Canyon. [00:38.600 --> 00:44.640] Sami al-Hajj, an Al Jazeera journalist who was imprisoned in Guantanamo, plans to launch [00:44.640 --> 00:49.900] a joint legal action with other detainees against George Bush and other administration [00:49.900 --> 00:56.640] officials for the illegal detention and torture they suffered. [00:56.640 --> 01:02.120] Women's advocacy groups in the U.S. praised the Obama administration for making it possible [01:02.120 --> 01:06.240] for foreign-battered women to begin a new life in this country. [01:06.240 --> 01:10.840] Last week, the administration said if women in foreign countries could show they had been [01:10.840 --> 01:16.040] treated by their abuser as little more than chattel and their home countries winked at [01:16.040 --> 01:21.080] such behavior, then the women could seek to make the U.S. their permanent home. [01:21.080 --> 01:26.520] Karen Musalo, director of the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies at the University of California, [01:26.520 --> 01:32.600] said it's a very positive policy change, adding it's going to benefit many women. [01:32.600 --> 01:37.560] The administration's position stemmed from a case filed in an immigration appeals court [01:37.560 --> 01:42.800] by a Mexican woman who said she would likely be murdered by her common-law husband in Mexico [01:42.800 --> 01:44.840] if she was sent back home. [01:44.840 --> 01:51.240] Her husband had threatened to burn her alive when he found she was pregnant. [01:51.240 --> 01:56.640] The U.K. Guardian says Dick Cheney could be forced to testify to Congress over allegations [01:56.640 --> 02:02.360] a secret hit squad was set up on his orders as Democrats pressed for inquiries into the [02:02.360 --> 02:04.760] conduct of the war on terror. [02:04.760 --> 02:10.680] A series of investigations could see top officials from the Bush administration being grilled [02:10.680 --> 02:15.600] by a special prosecutor and possibly facing criminal charges. [02:15.600 --> 02:21.640] Several investigations will now spotlight Bush-era torture policy and a secret CIA assassination [02:21.640 --> 02:26.760] program examining the role played by Dick Cheney and former defense secretary Donald [02:26.760 --> 02:28.120] Rumsfeld. [02:28.120 --> 02:33.560] In one investigation into the controversial firing of federal prosecutors, Bush's political [02:33.560 --> 02:38.840] guru Carl Rove has already been forced to appear before Congress and give testimony [02:38.840 --> 02:40.960] behind closed doors. [02:40.960 --> 02:46.400] The moves reveal a long-awaited desire by elements of the Obama administration and congressional [02:46.400 --> 02:52.360] Democrats to examine alleged abuses of power by Bush officials. [02:52.360 --> 02:57.480] Republicans are expected to portray investigations of Bush operatives as a witch hunt. [02:57.480 --> 03:04.920] Are you tired when talking about important topics like money and politics? [03:04.920 --> 03:05.920] Sorry! [03:05.920 --> 03:08.880] I'm confused by words like the Constitution or the Federal Reserve. [03:08.880 --> 03:09.880] What? [03:09.880 --> 03:13.720] If so, you may be diagnosed with the deadliest disease known today, stupidity. [03:13.720 --> 03:19.200] Hi, my name is Steve Holt and like millions of other Americans, I was diagnosed with stupidity [03:19.200 --> 03:20.400] at an early age. [03:20.400 --> 03:24.400] I had no idea that the number one cause of the disease is found in almost every home [03:24.400 --> 03:26.480] in America, the television. [03:26.480 --> 03:31.520] Unfortunately, that puts most Americans at risk of catching stupidity, but there is hope. [03:31.520 --> 03:35.300] The staff at Brave New Books have helped me and thousands of other proxaholics suffering [03:35.300 --> 03:37.600] from sports-zombie-ism recover. [03:37.600 --> 03:41.840] And because of Brave New Books, I now enjoy reading and watching educational documentaries [03:41.840 --> 03:44.480] without feeling tired or uninterested. [03:44.480 --> 03:51.800] So if you or anybody you know suffers from stupidity, then you need to call 512-480-2503 [03:51.800 --> 03:55.880] or visit them in 1904 Guadalupe or bravenewbookstore.com. [03:55.880 --> 03:59.280] Side effects from using Brave New Books products may include discernment and enlarged vocabulary [03:59.280 --> 04:01.280] and an overall increase in mental functioning. [04:01.280 --> 04:08.280] You are listening to the Rule of Law Radio Network at ruleoflawradio.com, live free speech [04:08.280 --> 04:32.480] talk radio at its best. [04:38.280 --> 05:06.080] You are listening to the Rule of Law on Rule of Law Radio. [05:06.080 --> 05:13.080] Bad boys and girls, I might add, what are you going to do when we come for you? [05:13.080 --> 05:22.080] Okay, Randy is going to talk about use of language in relation to court documents tonight, [05:22.080 --> 05:25.080] but first, I have a rant. [05:25.080 --> 05:28.080] Actually, I have a tirade. [05:28.080 --> 05:31.080] I just read, this is unbelievable, okay? [05:31.080 --> 05:39.080] This bimbo that Obama appointed to be a Supreme Court justice, either she's a bimbo or she's [05:39.080 --> 05:43.080] play-acting like a bimbo, so to mire, okay? [05:43.080 --> 05:50.080] In the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings today for her confirmation to the Supreme [05:50.080 --> 05:56.080] Court, she was directly confronted regarding the right to self-defense, okay? [05:56.080 --> 06:05.080] And she was asked, what is her opinion regarding, do people have the right to self-defense [06:05.080 --> 06:06.080] or not? [06:06.080 --> 06:09.080] And she said she doesn't know. [06:09.080 --> 06:12.080] She doesn't know, okay? [06:12.080 --> 06:18.080] Well, maybe if somebody was coming at her, she would figure it out real quick. [06:18.080 --> 06:21.080] All right, let me read this article, all right, or a part of it. [06:21.080 --> 06:23.080] This is cnsnews.com. [06:23.080 --> 06:26.080] This is today. [06:26.080 --> 06:32.080] When Senator Tom Coburn, Republican from Oklahoma, asked Wednesday, actually this was last [06:32.080 --> 06:36.080] Wednesday, we're just now finding out about it, whether citizens have a right to [06:36.080 --> 06:41.080] self-defense, Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor told the Senate Judiciary [06:41.080 --> 06:44.080] Committee, I don't know, in quotes. [06:44.080 --> 06:49.080] Coburn had asked, quote, as a citizen of the country, do you believe innately in my [06:49.080 --> 06:52.080] ability to have self-defense of myself, personal self-defense? [06:52.080 --> 06:55.080] Do I have a right to personal self-defense? [06:55.080 --> 06:56.080] That's a quote. [06:56.080 --> 07:01.080] In reply, Sotomayor said that, quote, I'm trying to think if I remember a case where [07:01.080 --> 07:06.080] the Supreme Court has addressed that particular question, is there a constitutional [07:06.080 --> 07:08.080] right to self-defense? [07:08.080 --> 07:09.080] And I can't think of one. [07:09.080 --> 07:12.080] I could be wrong, but I can't think of one. [07:12.080 --> 07:16.080] She then went on to, the end quote, she then went on to explain that self-defense [07:16.080 --> 07:21.080] rights are usually defined by state law. [07:21.080 --> 07:25.080] Whatever happened to the Second Amendment of our Constitution? [07:25.080 --> 07:29.080] I guess she forgot about that part, besides the fact that there's no such thing as [07:29.080 --> 07:31.080] constitutional rights. [07:31.080 --> 07:33.080] Our rights are inherent. [07:33.080 --> 07:34.080] We're born with them. [07:34.080 --> 07:36.080] They're given to us by our Creator. [07:36.080 --> 07:38.080] The Constitution just enumerates them. [07:38.080 --> 07:42.080] No piece of paper or government can give us rights or take them away, okay? [07:42.080 --> 07:44.080] So people need to be clear on that from the get-go. [07:44.080 --> 07:47.080] There's no such thing as constitutional rights. [07:47.080 --> 07:49.080] All right, anyways, back to the article. [07:49.080 --> 07:54.080] Unsatisfied, Coburn continued, but do you have an opinion of whether or not in [07:54.080 --> 07:58.080] this country I personally, as an individual citizen, have a right to [07:58.080 --> 07:59.080] self-defense? [07:59.080 --> 08:06.080] Sotomayor responded, I, as I said, I don't know. [08:06.080 --> 08:10.080] Is this somebody that you think should be on the Supreme Court? [08:10.080 --> 08:12.080] Listeners, I ask you. [08:12.080 --> 08:15.080] I mean, at least you could say no, all right? [08:15.080 --> 08:17.080] I mean, do you say something? [08:17.080 --> 08:21.080] Anyways, later in the, back to the article, later in the exchange, Coburn [08:21.080 --> 08:24.080] said, quote, I wasn't asking about the legal question. [08:24.080 --> 08:29.080] I'm asking your personal opinion, quote, but that is an abstract question with [08:29.080 --> 08:35.080] no particular meaning to me, end quote, Sotomayor relied. [08:35.080 --> 08:37.080] Oh, really? [08:37.080 --> 08:40.080] An abstract question with no particular meaning? [08:40.080 --> 08:45.080] Like I said, maybe if somebody was coming after her, maybe it would have a [08:45.080 --> 08:48.080] little bit more meaning then, okay? [08:48.080 --> 08:52.080] I guess that's just something, just a concept that's just too abstract for her [08:52.080 --> 08:54.080] to understand. [08:54.080 --> 08:57.080] Back to the article, William Van Alstine, a professor at the William and [08:57.080 --> 09:01.080] Mary School of Law, said that Sotomayor was technically justified in her [09:01.080 --> 09:06.080] answer, quote, it's actually a more subtle and elusive question than most [09:06.080 --> 09:11.080] people would even reasonably understand, end quote, he said. [09:11.080 --> 09:16.080] A subtle and elusive question, do you have the right to personal self-defense? [09:16.080 --> 09:19.080] Do you have a right to defend yourself if someone's trying to kill you? [09:19.080 --> 09:22.080] Yeah, that's a real subtle and elusive question. [09:22.080 --> 09:27.080] Most people just can't grasp the concept of somebody coming after them and [09:27.080 --> 09:31.080] whether or not you would want to try to save your own life. [09:31.080 --> 09:35.080] It's just, you know, the instinct to survive, you know, it's just very like [09:35.080 --> 09:38.080] subtle and hidden back there in our psyches. [09:38.080 --> 09:40.080] I guess we've forgotten about that, a lot of people. [09:40.080 --> 09:42.080] Well, wait a minute. [09:42.080 --> 09:47.080] This speaks to a transformational deletion. [09:47.080 --> 09:53.080] Do you have a constitutionally protected right to defend yourself? [09:53.080 --> 09:56.080] Well, yeah, but he asked several different questions. [09:56.080 --> 10:02.080] He asked the question in different ways to get to the same point. [10:02.080 --> 10:06.080] Do you think that we have the right to defend ourselves? [10:06.080 --> 10:08.080] He asked it in a bunch of different ways. [10:08.080 --> 10:16.080] They can't even claim, she can't even claim, you know, subtlety of syntax or [10:16.080 --> 10:20.080] grammar, okay, she's totally, it's not even a sidestep. [10:20.080 --> 10:24.080] It's like she's just acting brain dead about the whole thing. [10:24.080 --> 10:27.080] Let me get back to the article, okay. [10:27.080 --> 10:32.080] Van Alstyn told CNSnews.com that the issue has not come directly before the [10:32.080 --> 10:36.080] Supreme Court and states indeed have different laws regarding when a person [10:36.080 --> 10:40.080] has the right to use deadly force, et cetera, et cetera. [10:40.080 --> 10:44.080] Okay, however, Van Alstyn also said the court has made rulings that indicate [10:44.080 --> 10:48.080] a basic right to defend one's life. [10:48.080 --> 10:50.080] Okay, yeah, we knew that. [10:50.080 --> 10:56.080] All right, so this guy who's a professor at the law school, William Mary, he [10:56.080 --> 11:03.080] knows that there are cases adjudicating this fact, okay, and this woman, this [11:03.080 --> 11:07.080] bimbo who's appointed to be a Supreme Court justice does not know that. [11:07.080 --> 11:10.080] Hundreds of case laws that address this issue. [11:10.080 --> 11:13.080] All right, so let me continue on. [11:13.080 --> 11:16.080] I am really upset about this. [11:16.080 --> 11:21.080] If this flaky, I mean, she should be blonde, I'm sorry. [11:21.080 --> 11:25.080] No offense to blonde people, but I mean, this is just over the top, okay. [11:25.080 --> 11:32.080] He says, as for his own personal opinion, Van Alstyn said that, quote, [11:32.080 --> 11:37.080] for the most part, in my own view, the dicta of the court, the history of the [11:37.080 --> 11:41.080] treatment of self-preservation and of constitutional reasoning and text [11:41.080 --> 11:45.080] inevitably lead to the sensible conclusion that indeed there is a [11:45.080 --> 11:49.080] fundamental right to save your life by killing another if those are the [11:49.080 --> 11:52.080] alternatives confronting one. [11:52.080 --> 11:58.080] And he also goes on to say, okay, Van Alstyn also expressed the idea that the [11:58.080 --> 12:01.080] right to self-defense is so basic as to be implied by the very nature of the [12:01.080 --> 12:02.080] Constitution itself. [12:02.080 --> 12:04.080] Okay, this guy's talking convoluted. [12:04.080 --> 12:06.080] Let me read this one more paragraph. [12:06.080 --> 12:10.080] If you go back to the philosophic grounds of the Constitution, a social [12:10.080 --> 12:15.080] compact, the theory is that we yield power to others, namely a democratic [12:15.080 --> 12:20.080] majority, because it's necessary so that we don't live according to a law of [12:20.080 --> 12:21.080] the jungle. [12:21.080 --> 12:25.080] But if our government is unable to protect us from the threat of others to [12:25.080 --> 12:30.080] kill, why, then we never gave to government the power to deprive us of our [12:30.080 --> 12:33.080] natural right of human self-defense. [12:33.080 --> 12:39.080] So it is implicit that we do have the right to defend ourselves. [12:39.080 --> 12:46.080] Okay, what this guy is saying is that, number one, he's saying this is a [12:46.080 --> 12:51.080] democracy and that we yield powers to a democratic majority, which is [12:51.080 --> 12:56.080] absolutely blasphemous to the foundation of this country and the principles. [12:56.080 --> 12:58.080] This is not a democracy. [12:58.080 --> 13:00.080] It was never intended to be a democracy. [13:00.080 --> 13:02.080] It was never set up as a democracy. [13:02.080 --> 13:06.080] This is a constitutional republic, which means individual liberties and [13:06.080 --> 13:08.080] freedoms are protected. [13:08.080 --> 13:13.080] A democracy means that 51% of the people can vote to take away the fundamental [13:13.080 --> 13:18.080] liberties and freedoms and life and property of the other 49, and he even [13:18.080 --> 13:23.080] says it, yield powers to others, namely the democratic majority. [13:23.080 --> 13:24.080] No. [13:24.080 --> 13:27.080] Number one, we don't yield power, okay? [13:27.080 --> 13:28.080] We're the sovereigns. [13:28.080 --> 13:30.080] We're the individuals, all right? [13:30.080 --> 13:32.080] We are the sovereigns here, not the government. [13:32.080 --> 13:35.080] We don't yield any power to anyone, not even our public servants. [13:35.080 --> 13:37.080] They work for us. [13:37.080 --> 13:39.080] We delegate our authority. [13:39.080 --> 13:44.080] We delegate certain portions of our authority to them, okay? [13:44.080 --> 13:48.080] It's like a boss managing employees, so he doesn't have to do everything himself. [13:48.080 --> 13:50.080] We don't yield anything. [13:50.080 --> 13:54.080] We grant and authorize our public servants, okay? [13:54.080 --> 13:57.080] And we can take away whatever we grant to them. [13:57.080 --> 14:00.080] It's not a democracy, period. [14:00.080 --> 14:07.080] And this guy's trying to say that the only reason that we actually do have a [14:07.080 --> 14:11.080] right to self-defense is because the government just may not be able to do a [14:11.080 --> 14:13.080] good enough job protecting us. [14:13.080 --> 14:15.080] Give me a break. [14:15.080 --> 14:18.080] And then he goes on to say, oh, so yeah, we do have a right. [14:18.080 --> 14:24.080] This is totally, it's total propaganda, mind-bending, brainwashing crap. [14:24.080 --> 14:26.080] I'm calling it like it is. [14:26.080 --> 14:28.080] It's all a false argument. [14:28.080 --> 14:30.080] It's ridiculous. [14:30.080 --> 14:32.080] It's the wrong argument. [14:32.080 --> 14:39.080] Still, you have these public officials juxtapositioning their restrictions on us. [14:39.080 --> 14:43.080] The question is not whether we have a right to do something. [14:43.080 --> 14:48.080] Are we specifically restricted? [14:48.080 --> 14:51.080] The question is, is do we have the authority? [14:51.080 --> 14:52.080] I know, but listen. [14:52.080 --> 14:53.080] Yes. [14:53.080 --> 14:54.080] Okay, but listen. [14:54.080 --> 14:58.080] What was going on in this interchange in the Senate Judicial Committee? [14:58.080 --> 15:02.080] And they do have the right to ask these questions. [15:02.080 --> 15:10.080] They want to understand and get a grip on this person's personality and [15:10.080 --> 15:15.080] personal opinions, and this happens in jury screening. [15:15.080 --> 15:17.080] Okay, I've been in a jury pool before. [15:17.080 --> 15:22.080] They want to know not what you think the law is. [15:22.080 --> 15:28.080] They want to know your personal feelings on the issue because it's going to [15:28.080 --> 15:33.080] absolutely bias how you're going to vote in the jury and how you're going to [15:33.080 --> 15:35.080] rule if you're a judge. [15:35.080 --> 15:41.080] This guy, this senator, wanted to know her personal opinion. [15:41.080 --> 15:42.080] Forget the case law. [15:42.080 --> 15:44.080] Forget what you think the Constitution says. [15:44.080 --> 15:46.080] What is your personal opinion? [15:46.080 --> 15:49.080] Do you believe that we have the right to defend ourselves or not? [15:49.080 --> 15:52.080] And she said she doesn't know. [15:52.080 --> 15:54.080] Okay, now you just, I'm sorry. [15:54.080 --> 15:57.080] It's black and white, all right? [15:57.080 --> 16:00.080] This person should not be on the Supreme Court, period. [16:00.080 --> 16:06.080] She could have said, I believe we should, whether we statutorily have it or [16:06.080 --> 16:09.080] not, I can't say for sure. [16:09.080 --> 16:11.080] Well, she showed her collars. [16:11.080 --> 16:12.080] Yes, she did. [16:12.080 --> 16:21.080] If she did not absolutely with all her heart say yes, then that means she's a [16:21.080 --> 16:24.080] gun-grabbing demon, okay? [16:24.080 --> 16:28.080] She's a toady. [16:28.080 --> 16:32.080] She's a talking head, a yes-man, and any case that comes up in front of the [16:32.080 --> 16:37.080] Supreme Court that has to do with right self-defense or firearms or anything, [16:37.080 --> 16:39.080] you know what's going to happen. [16:39.080 --> 16:43.080] And the worst part about it is that the Republicans are going, oh, well, okay, [16:43.080 --> 16:45.080] we're going to back her anyway. [16:45.080 --> 16:47.080] That's an Associated Press article. [16:47.080 --> 16:49.080] I'll read some of it on the other side. [16:49.080 --> 16:51.080] It's ridiculous, man. [16:51.080 --> 16:59.080] We'll be right back. [17:21.080 --> 17:23.080] We'll be right back. [17:51.080 --> 17:55.080] Remember to use promo code ruleoflawradio.com. [17:55.080 --> 18:00.080] Again, that special promo code is ruleoflawradio.com. [18:00.080 --> 18:24.080] Look what we got. [18:24.080 --> 18:32.080] And they don't have an answer. [18:32.080 --> 18:55.080] They don't have an answer. [18:55.080 --> 19:10.080] All right, we asked the questions, and they don't have the answers. [19:10.080 --> 19:13.080] Perfect, perfect song. [19:13.080 --> 19:15.080] Perfect bumper music. [19:15.080 --> 19:19.080] Tyranny, the material, the material, the whole country, okay? [19:19.080 --> 19:22.080] We were discussing on the break whether or not this guy asked the right [19:22.080 --> 19:23.080] question or not. [19:23.080 --> 19:25.080] I think he did ask the right question. [19:25.080 --> 19:30.080] He wanted to determine if this woman believes that our rights are [19:30.080 --> 19:32.080] fundamental or not. [19:32.080 --> 19:34.080] He wanted to know how she really feels. [19:34.080 --> 19:37.080] Do you feel that people fundamentally have the right to defend themselves [19:37.080 --> 19:39.080] or not, okay? [19:39.080 --> 19:41.080] Do you believe that that is fundamental? [19:41.080 --> 19:43.080] And she said she doesn't know. [19:43.080 --> 19:46.080] That means she does not believe in fundamental rights. [19:46.080 --> 19:53.080] It means that she believes that rights are legislated by popular vote or case [19:53.080 --> 19:56.080] law or statute, okay? [19:56.080 --> 19:58.080] He did ask the right question. [19:58.080 --> 20:03.080] He wanted to know if she believes this is a fundamental right or not. [20:03.080 --> 20:09.080] I mean, obviously, the legal question is, do you feel that this right has [20:09.080 --> 20:12.080] been enumerated or adjudicated in case law? [20:12.080 --> 20:13.080] But that's not what he wanted to know. [20:13.080 --> 20:17.080] He wanted to know where her heart is, and we found out. [20:17.080 --> 20:23.080] The reason I say he asked the wrong question was the nature of his question [20:23.080 --> 20:30.080] presupposed that rights are granted to citizens. [20:30.080 --> 20:35.080] It was the whole, his whole head was in the wrong place. [20:35.080 --> 20:40.080] The right question would have been, do you believe that citizens have [20:40.080 --> 20:43.080] authority to defend themselves? [20:43.080 --> 20:46.080] I think that he wanted to know how she feels. [20:46.080 --> 20:52.080] Yes, and that would have got the question, but he wouldn't presuppose that [20:52.080 --> 20:57.080] we have the rights that are granted to us, and she was looking for a place [20:57.080 --> 21:01.080] where we were given the right to protect ourselves, and it's not in there. [21:01.080 --> 21:03.080] In the federal, it is in the state. [21:03.080 --> 21:05.080] It's very clear in Texas. [21:05.080 --> 21:12.080] The answer to that question in Texas, in Texas law, is absolutely yes. [21:12.080 --> 21:19.080] Well, see, the thing is, there are some people who, I don't think that that [21:19.080 --> 21:21.080] was a presupposition, Randy. [21:21.080 --> 21:27.080] I think he wanted to know if she believes that rights are fundamental or if [21:27.080 --> 21:29.080] they're legislated, and we got the answer. [21:29.080 --> 21:30.080] Okay. [21:30.080 --> 21:31.080] I don't think there was a presupposition. [21:31.080 --> 21:33.080] He wanted to know directly. [21:33.080 --> 21:35.080] Erase the slate clean. [21:35.080 --> 21:37.080] Let's not have any presuppositions at all. [21:37.080 --> 21:38.080] How do you feel? [21:38.080 --> 21:42.080] Do you feel that the right to defend yourself, that we actually have it, [21:42.080 --> 21:43.080] that it's fundamental? [21:43.080 --> 21:47.080] And she said she doesn't know that shows where it's at. [21:47.080 --> 21:48.080] There were no presuppositions. [21:48.080 --> 21:51.080] He wanted to know if she believed it's a fundamental right or not. [21:51.080 --> 21:53.080] And basically, the answer is no. [21:53.080 --> 21:57.080] So we got the answer we were looking for. [21:57.080 --> 21:58.080] Okay. [21:58.080 --> 22:04.080] It's just, I mean, abstract question with no particular meaning. [22:04.080 --> 22:05.080] Okay. [22:05.080 --> 22:07.080] Well, what are you, in a coma? [22:07.080 --> 22:08.080] Are you alive or not? [22:08.080 --> 22:10.080] Do you want to live? [22:10.080 --> 22:11.080] Do you want to die? [22:11.080 --> 22:14.080] I mean, hello? [22:14.080 --> 22:16.080] It's just crazy. [22:16.080 --> 22:18.080] I mean, this is nuts. [22:18.080 --> 22:20.080] They want to take away all their guns. [22:20.080 --> 22:22.080] They want to force inoculate us. [22:22.080 --> 22:23.080] I'm reading about that. [22:23.080 --> 22:28.080] I have the statute pulled up right now. [22:28.080 --> 22:38.080] It was enacted in 2006 under Bush where they, it's law right now. [22:38.080 --> 22:42.080] The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act slipped under the radar [22:42.080 --> 22:47.080] when George Bush signed it into law as part of the 2006 Defense Appropriations Act. [22:47.080 --> 22:57.080] It lets the HHS secretary declare any disease, an epidemic, or national emergency requiring mandatory vaccinations. [22:57.080 --> 22:58.080] Okay. [22:58.080 --> 23:01.080] So that's already, that's been like three years ago. [23:01.080 --> 23:02.080] All right. [23:02.080 --> 23:10.080] And now there's all this stuff in the media and they're cranking up for the big vaccination binge this fall. [23:10.080 --> 23:22.080] And they just passed a law that basically gives complete immunity from civil litigation to the makers of the vaccine for the swine flu. [23:22.080 --> 23:24.080] Come on. [23:24.080 --> 23:26.080] Come on. [23:26.080 --> 23:30.080] So, I mean, I'm bringing all this up because we have to do something about it, [23:30.080 --> 23:33.080] especially when we got this chick about to get into the Supreme Court. [23:33.080 --> 23:40.080] And the Republicans are saying, oh yeah, we're going to shoo her in. [23:40.080 --> 23:42.080] What? [23:42.080 --> 23:49.080] I thought that they were supposed to, like the Republicans were like, it's supposed to be for gun ownership rights or something? [23:49.080 --> 23:52.080] What happened to that? [23:52.080 --> 24:00.080] Smooth road ahead for Sotomayor, U.S. News and World Report today. [24:00.080 --> 24:06.080] The Republicans are like, okay, no biggie, even after what she said today. [24:06.080 --> 24:09.080] So that just shows they're all on the same side. [24:09.080 --> 24:11.080] All right. [24:11.080 --> 24:12.080] All right. [24:12.080 --> 24:14.080] So people need that. [24:14.080 --> 24:21.080] Anyway, I was bringing this up in conjunction with the flu vaccinations because that's where the real death is going to be. [24:21.080 --> 24:28.080] And we have to petition Congress to put a stop to this because they either want, they want to give you one of two options. [24:28.080 --> 24:31.080] You either take the vaccine or you go to the camp. [24:31.080 --> 24:32.080] All right. [24:32.080 --> 24:34.080] I mean, this is like mainstream media now. [24:34.080 --> 24:43.080] And so there's a petition on healthfreedomusa.org, and there's hundreds of thousands of people who have already signed. [24:43.080 --> 24:56.080] It needs to be millions to petition Congress basically to flood them, inundate them, blizzard them with signatures that we at least need to have a third option to stay in our own homes. [24:56.080 --> 25:01.080] Okay, because I'll tell you what, I ain't taking no vaccination and I ain't going to no camp either. [25:01.080 --> 25:02.080] All right. [25:02.080 --> 25:10.080] So they can just kill me in my own house because I'm not going to camp and I'm not taking the vaccination. [25:10.080 --> 25:17.080] So what are you all going to do about it, Mr. Big Man, Mr. Hotshot, because I ain't leaving. [25:17.080 --> 25:18.080] Okay. [25:18.080 --> 25:19.080] I'm not going to do it. [25:19.080 --> 25:20.080] I'm not going to go to any camp. [25:20.080 --> 25:22.080] So we have to make the stand now. [25:22.080 --> 25:25.080] We have to do something because now they want to take our guns too. [25:25.080 --> 25:26.080] And this is why. [25:26.080 --> 25:32.080] So anyway, go to healthfreedomusa.org and sign the petition. [25:32.080 --> 25:38.080] Maybe these brain-dead Congress critters will do something about it. [25:38.080 --> 25:40.080] So that's my rant for tonight. [25:40.080 --> 25:48.080] Maybe everyone should also blizzard their senators to kick this bimbo out. [25:48.080 --> 25:51.080] Give me a break. [25:51.080 --> 25:52.080] All right. [25:52.080 --> 25:56.080] So guys, what do you all think? [25:56.080 --> 25:57.080] I'm concerned. [25:57.080 --> 26:04.080] This swine flu thing is, you know, I don't like to think that it's really true. [26:04.080 --> 26:09.080] They're trying to kill 80 percent of us, but they're beginning to frighten me. [26:09.080 --> 26:32.080] Well, the Chinese have been doing population control without eugenics. [26:32.080 --> 26:33.080] They're not hiding it. [26:33.080 --> 26:35.080] They go around and give speeches about it. [26:35.080 --> 26:37.080] They write books about it. [26:37.080 --> 26:42.080] They give seminars on it to thousands of people with standing ovation. [26:42.080 --> 26:48.080] Well, if you think it's such a great idea, be the first to go. [26:48.080 --> 26:49.080] Go ahead. [26:49.080 --> 26:53.080] Grab a knife and go draw a hot bath, you know? [26:53.080 --> 26:55.080] Give me a break. [26:55.080 --> 26:58.080] No, we have to wake up, people. [26:58.080 --> 27:04.080] I mean, you know, 15 years ago, if anybody had told me they want to kill us, [27:04.080 --> 27:06.080] they want to kill us all, they're probably not killing us all. [27:06.080 --> 27:08.080] I said, you're nuts. [27:08.080 --> 27:10.080] You're conspiracy theory crazy, okay? [27:10.080 --> 27:12.080] You're tinfoil hatter. [27:12.080 --> 27:14.080] But no, it's true. [27:14.080 --> 27:16.080] I mean, they tell you. [27:16.080 --> 27:20.080] That's what they're going to do. [27:20.080 --> 27:24.080] Personally, I think if I've been the one asking her that question, I said, [27:24.080 --> 27:33.080] do you think that government employees or officials have a fundamental right to not respond to the rights of the people [27:33.080 --> 27:36.080] and petitions of the people for their rights? [27:36.080 --> 27:40.080] And then you would have got the same type of song and dance out of it. [27:40.080 --> 27:46.080] And then I would have had to ask, I says, based upon the founding father philosophy of those in government, [27:46.080 --> 27:55.080] would you recommend the imposition of the tall tree short rope method of correcting our government problems? [27:55.080 --> 27:57.080] And see how she answered that one. [27:57.080 --> 28:11.080] Yeah, and I would have asked her, if somebody came at you with a gun or a knife, would you defend yourself? [28:11.080 --> 28:17.080] Would you think that you have a fundamental basic right to defend your own life? [28:17.080 --> 28:22.080] Or would you just go, oh, I don't have a right to defend myself and let that person kill you? [28:22.080 --> 28:26.080] Or I better call 911 and wait for the cops to show up. [28:26.080 --> 28:29.080] And if they don't, oh, well, I guess I'm going to die. [28:29.080 --> 28:30.080] What would you do? [28:30.080 --> 28:32.080] What do you really feel about this? [28:32.080 --> 28:36.080] That's what I would ask her. [28:36.080 --> 28:40.080] She would have probably been just as vague and elusive. [28:40.080 --> 28:47.080] The whole point of their appearance in these hearings is to not say anything. [28:47.080 --> 28:50.080] Well, she said volumes. [28:50.080 --> 28:54.080] She spoke volumes, anything other than absolutely yes. [28:54.080 --> 28:57.080] People have a basic fundamental right to defend themselves. [28:57.080 --> 29:04.080] Anything other than that is the wrong answer. [29:04.080 --> 29:07.080] I mean, there's just no middle ground here. [29:07.080 --> 29:17.080] And I'm really more concerned about this professor and him intimating that this is a democracy [29:17.080 --> 29:22.080] and that since the government just can't seem to be competent enough to protect people's lives, [29:22.080 --> 29:25.080] well, then yeah, we have a right to defend ourselves. [29:25.080 --> 29:28.080] That is totally backwards. [29:28.080 --> 29:35.080] That's much more concerning to me, that that's the prevailing mindset in law schools now. [29:35.080 --> 29:39.080] All right, callers, if you'd like to call in, 512-646-1984. [29:39.080 --> 29:42.080] Discuss whatever is on your mind. [29:42.080 --> 29:47.080] Ask any questions that may be related to law or other issues. [29:47.080 --> 29:58.080] We'll be right back. [29:58.080 --> 30:00.080] Gold prices are at historic highs. [30:00.080 --> 30:03.080] And with the recent pullback, this is a great time to buy. [30:03.080 --> 30:07.080] With the value of the dollar, risks of inflation, geopolitical uncertainties [30:07.080 --> 30:11.080] and instability in world financial systems, I see gold going up much higher. [30:11.080 --> 30:14.080] Hi, I'm Tim Fry at Roberts & Roberts Brokerage. [30:14.080 --> 30:18.080] Everybody should have some of their assets in investment grade precious metals.

[31:34.080 --> 31:39.080] The rule of law, Randy Kelton and Debra Stevens and Eddie Craig. [31:39.080 --> 31:44.080] Callers, just sit tight one moment. [31:44.080 --> 31:46.080] We've got Michael in Connecticut, but before we go to Michael, [31:46.080 --> 31:50.080] Randy has some comments to make on Admiralty Law. [31:50.080 --> 31:52.080] I've got my own rant. [31:52.080 --> 31:55.080] And we've got, yeah, now the call board's really stacking up, Randy. [31:55.080 --> 31:58.080] So go ahead. [31:58.080 --> 32:01.080] It's only incidentally about maritime law. [32:01.080 --> 32:02.080] Okay. [32:02.080 --> 32:11.080] My real rant is about the kind of crap that's pushed around the legal reform community. [32:11.080 --> 32:17.080] I have a document here called Admiralty on Land, Where's the Water? [32:17.080 --> 32:21.080] And no one seems to know who wrote it. [32:21.080 --> 32:27.080] It was on the Internet and it was taken down. [32:27.080 --> 32:29.080] What he does in here. [32:29.080 --> 32:32.080] We don't know who wrote it? [32:32.080 --> 32:36.080] No, but from the style of it, I got a good idea. [32:36.080 --> 32:38.080] Uh-oh. [32:38.080 --> 32:41.080] He starts out talking about the fringe on the flag. [32:41.080 --> 32:45.080] The reason I started with the flag issue is because it's so easy to grasp. [32:45.080 --> 32:49.080] The main problem I have with the yellow fringe is that by its use, [32:49.080 --> 32:52.080] our constitutional republic is no more. [32:52.080 --> 32:55.080] Our system of law was changed without the public's knowledge. [32:55.080 --> 32:56.080] It was kept secret. [32:56.080 --> 32:57.080] This is fraud. [32:57.080 --> 33:04.080] The American people were allowed to believe that this was the... [33:04.080 --> 33:06.080] Randy? [33:06.080 --> 33:07.080] Randy, are you there? [33:07.080 --> 33:08.080] Hey, Randy. [33:08.080 --> 33:09.080] I'm still playing off the air. [33:09.080 --> 33:10.080] Yeah, that's it. [33:10.080 --> 33:13.080] Every time I touch this computer, it mutes itself. [33:13.080 --> 33:15.080] Okay, back up, back up. [33:15.080 --> 33:16.080] Okay, okay. [33:16.080 --> 33:18.080] You're talking about the fringe. [33:18.080 --> 33:21.080] The main problem I have with the yellow fringe on the flag, [33:21.080 --> 33:27.080] the yellow fringe is that by its use, our constitutional republic is no more. [33:27.080 --> 33:30.080] Our system of law was changed without the public's knowledge. [33:30.080 --> 33:31.080] It was kept secret. [33:31.080 --> 33:32.080] This is fraud. [33:32.080 --> 33:35.080] The American people were allowed to believe that this was just a decoration [33:35.080 --> 33:40.080] because the law changed from common law, God's law, to admiralty law, [33:40.080 --> 33:41.080] to king's law. [33:41.080 --> 33:45.080] Your status also changed from sovereign to subject. [33:45.080 --> 33:50.080] From being able to own property, a loyal title, to not owning property, [33:50.080 --> 33:51.080] tenant on the land. [33:51.080 --> 33:54.080] If you think you own property and stop paying taxes, [33:54.080 --> 33:57.080] it'll be taken under the prize law. [33:57.080 --> 34:05.080] That is the biggest bunch of horse hockey I think I have ever read. [34:05.080 --> 34:07.080] But I have a description of that kind. [34:07.080 --> 34:15.080] This whole thing is just replete with these errant distortions. [34:15.080 --> 34:20.080] The main problem I have with the fringe on the flag is that by its use, [34:20.080 --> 34:24.080] our constitutional republic is no more. [34:24.080 --> 34:31.080] Through the whole document, he never tells us how the flag has any [34:31.080 --> 34:36.080] relationship to eliminating our constitution. [34:36.080 --> 34:46.080] Through the whole thing, all he does is rant and make wild assertions using [34:46.080 --> 34:51.080] he makes a statement of fact that's not supported, [34:51.080 --> 34:56.080] and then makes another statement of fact that's not supported, [34:56.080 --> 35:00.080] and based on those unsupported statements on fact, [35:00.080 --> 35:03.080] he draws outrageous conclusion. [35:03.080 --> 35:11.080] Could this, especially since the author is not stepping forward or whatever, [35:11.080 --> 35:13.080] this sounds like a bunch of disinfo. [35:13.080 --> 35:18.080] This sounds like a government agent wrote this bull crap to try to distract [35:18.080 --> 35:20.080] well-meaning patriots. [35:20.080 --> 35:22.080] Good point. [35:22.080 --> 35:23.080] Okay. [35:23.080 --> 35:26.080] I read a lot of stuff like this. [35:26.080 --> 35:29.080] There are infiltrators, okay? [35:29.080 --> 35:31.080] No, I'm not going to presuppose that. [35:31.080 --> 35:36.080] Because I've talked to a lot of people who spout this kind of nonsense. [35:36.080 --> 35:38.080] Well, they could have learned it from a disinfo agent. [35:38.080 --> 35:39.080] Yes. [35:39.080 --> 35:41.080] Because, see, the thing is, a lot of times... [35:41.080 --> 35:45.080] Well, they did, but we call them public school teachers. [35:45.080 --> 35:47.080] Well, this is my point. [35:47.080 --> 35:51.080] Well, see, people believe what they want to believe, and so a lot of the time, [35:51.080 --> 35:57.080] most of the time, it takes a real disciplining of your mind and coming to Jesus, [35:57.080 --> 36:02.080] so to speak, in reality as well as metaphorically, [36:02.080 --> 36:07.080] to have the guts to actually seek the truth, [36:07.080 --> 36:10.080] want to know the truth no matter what it is, [36:10.080 --> 36:15.080] and have the guts to accept it and deal with it. [36:15.080 --> 36:17.080] None of us are... [36:17.080 --> 36:21.080] It's very difficult to do that, even people who strive to do that. [36:21.080 --> 36:25.080] People mostly want to hear what they want to hear, [36:25.080 --> 36:30.080] and they'd rather hear a lie and convince themselves that it's true. [36:30.080 --> 36:34.080] And so I see this a lot in legal research, in the legal reform community. [36:34.080 --> 36:41.080] People seek out case law and statute to support what they want to assert, [36:41.080 --> 36:47.080] but they don't seek out case law or statute that would rebut it. [36:47.080 --> 36:51.080] And so this kind of sounds like one of those things, you know? [36:51.080 --> 36:55.080] No, that's not what it is. [36:55.080 --> 36:58.080] I have a very clear definition of what this is. [36:58.080 --> 37:01.080] What? BS? [37:01.080 --> 37:07.080] Propaganda. This is exactly the definition of propaganda. [37:07.080 --> 37:11.080] The truth is used in propaganda. [37:11.080 --> 37:13.080] Bernays? [37:13.080 --> 37:14.080] Bernays. [37:14.080 --> 37:16.080] He wrote the book Propaganda. [37:16.080 --> 37:19.080] No, this one's not by Bernays. [37:19.080 --> 37:24.080] No, but I know, but I'm saying the techniques that were outlined in the book Propaganda by Bernays. [37:24.080 --> 37:25.080] Okay. [37:25.080 --> 37:27.080] Yeah, you're right, it is. [37:27.080 --> 37:30.080] Okay, let me go through a few of them. [37:30.080 --> 37:32.080] Oversimplification. [37:32.080 --> 37:38.080] The propagandist takes one side of a situation and treats that one side as if it were the only side. [37:38.080 --> 37:42.080] A political candidate, for instance, may mention only the weak points of his opponent, [37:42.080 --> 37:45.080] completely ignoring his opponent's strong points. [37:45.080 --> 37:56.080] Name-calling, stereotyping, glittering generalities, testimonial. [37:56.080 --> 38:02.080] The one that was the most egregious in there was the errant distortion. [38:02.080 --> 38:09.080] He makes a statement as if it were a statement of fact when actually it's not a statement of fact [38:09.080 --> 38:19.080] and treats that fact as if it's true and goes on to make other horrible-sounding conclusions [38:19.080 --> 38:22.080] based on his original false premises. [38:22.080 --> 38:33.080] The reason I brought this up is I have been trying to get a good treatment of admiralty law, [38:33.080 --> 38:36.080] and this is what I've been getting. [38:36.080 --> 38:39.080] That doesn't sound like a very good treatment of admiralty law to me. [38:39.080 --> 38:42.080] How does the admiralty get on the land? [38:42.080 --> 38:45.080] Now, a lot of people sent me a bunch of documents. [38:45.080 --> 38:52.080] This is one of them, and the guy who sent it to me, Duane in Louisiana, [38:52.080 --> 38:59.080] mentioned in there, recognized that it looked like crap to him, and I give him credit for that, because it was crap. [38:59.080 --> 39:04.080] He wanted me to check the citations in here, [39:04.080 --> 39:14.080] and I started checking citations, and the first three or four I did were totally off point. [39:14.080 --> 39:23.080] The issues were totally out of context, and the guy starts with a case that's so old you can't look it up. [39:23.080 --> 39:29.080] The second document that I pulled off my stack, I'm not sure who wrote it. [39:29.080 --> 39:36.080] It says, U.S. Constitution Article III, Cases of Admiralty and Maritime Jurisdiction. [39:36.080 --> 39:40.080] This document's about 30 pages. [39:40.080 --> 39:42.080] I'm sorry, it's about 15 pages. [39:42.080 --> 39:47.080] It walks down admiralty, maritime jurisdiction. [39:47.080 --> 39:50.080] It even explains exactly how they're different. [39:50.080 --> 39:51.080] Really? [39:51.080 --> 40:03.080] Yes, and it explains it from the English law, how it moved to the colony law, and how the colonies adjusted that law. [40:03.080 --> 40:08.080] Admiralty is in rim where you attack the vessel. [40:08.080 --> 40:14.080] Maritime is where you're on the seas and you have a contractual or a tort disagreement. [40:14.080 --> 40:16.080] A guy gets hurt on his ship. [40:16.080 --> 40:18.080] He sues in maritime. [40:18.080 --> 40:25.080] The action to take the ship in rim, that's in admiralty. [40:25.080 --> 40:35.080] But through the whole thing, he even discusses how the conflict between the fed and the states, [40:35.080 --> 40:47.080] how originally admiralty extended to the seas and those portions of navigable waterways that were within the ebb and flow of the tides. [40:47.080 --> 40:55.080] And then the Congress passed a statute extending the maritime to the Great Lakes because the canal was opened. [40:55.080 --> 40:58.080] And they could get into the Great Lakes. [40:58.080 --> 41:01.080] So they extended it to the Great Lakes. [41:01.080 --> 41:12.080] And then some other acts that extended the maritime beyond the ebb and flow of the tides. [41:12.080 --> 41:18.080] But always, always it went to the water. [41:18.080 --> 41:32.080] Then he addresses how a maritime contract, portions of the transport moving on to land, keeps the option of a maritime suit. [41:32.080 --> 41:34.080] Extremely well done. [41:34.080 --> 41:39.080] You go through this and his cases are on point. [41:39.080 --> 41:41.080] They make sense. [41:41.080 --> 41:45.080] You go through this 15-page document and you understand maritime. [41:45.080 --> 41:46.080] Where can people get the document? [41:46.080 --> 41:50.080] Do you have it on your website or can people go to a different website to get it? [41:50.080 --> 41:53.080] Someone sent it to me, but I will post it. [41:53.080 --> 41:55.080] Now who's the author again? [41:55.080 --> 41:56.080] It doesn't say. [41:56.080 --> 41:59.080] The title is U.S. Constitution Article III. [41:59.080 --> 42:03.080] Somebody wrote a legal treatise on maritime and admiralty law and they didn't sign it? [42:03.080 --> 42:08.080] I think this was taken out of a larger piece of work. [42:08.080 --> 42:09.080] That's what I want to know. [42:09.080 --> 42:11.080] Who wrote it? [42:11.080 --> 42:12.080] I don't know. [42:12.080 --> 42:14.080] It looks like it was taken out of the middle of something. [42:14.080 --> 42:17.080] It has the appearance of a brief. [42:17.080 --> 42:21.080] It's certainly a legal treatise. [42:21.080 --> 42:26.080] I'm not sure who wrote it, but I will put it on my site and I will reference people to it. [42:26.080 --> 42:27.080] Interesting. [42:27.080 --> 42:31.080] Read this thing and it took me about 10 minutes to go through this thing. [42:31.080 --> 42:42.080] What I don't understand is how come people seem to be having success with this admiralty or maritime jurisdiction or whatever they're saying it is or doing it. [42:42.080 --> 42:48.080] Show me the guys who actually got control of the vessel. [42:48.080 --> 42:49.080] That's what I'm saying. [42:49.080 --> 42:52.080] In Tim Turner's case, that's in federal court right now. [42:52.080 --> 42:56.080] The lien is standing there, but it's not enforced. [42:56.080 --> 43:11.080] Well, no, what I'm saying is that the part where the judge made a ruling concerning the maritime admiralty jurisdiction, that part of the case has already been adjudicated and the judge has agreed. [43:11.080 --> 43:12.080] I don't have that case. [43:12.080 --> 43:13.080] That's the current case. [43:13.080 --> 43:15.080] It's on Pacer right now, Tim Turner's case. [43:15.080 --> 43:16.080] I don't have it. [43:16.080 --> 43:19.080] I've got Tim Turner's work here. [43:19.080 --> 43:21.080] It's on Pacer. [43:21.080 --> 43:22.080] Two of his books. [43:22.080 --> 43:24.080] I don't even know what it is. [43:24.080 --> 43:25.080] Tim Turner never told me what it was. [43:25.080 --> 43:26.080] Okay. [43:26.080 --> 43:27.080] All right. [43:27.080 --> 43:28.080] I wanted it. [43:28.080 --> 43:30.080] I told him I want that. [43:30.080 --> 43:31.080] Oh, we will get it to you. [43:31.080 --> 43:33.080] I still don't have it. [43:33.080 --> 43:35.080] Just look it up on Pacer. [43:35.080 --> 43:36.080] What? [43:36.080 --> 43:38.080] Tim, I don't have Pacer. [43:38.080 --> 43:39.080] Oh, okay. [43:39.080 --> 43:40.080] All right. [43:40.080 --> 43:42.080] All of these guys are going to send it to me. [43:42.080 --> 43:43.080] I've never seen that. [43:43.080 --> 43:46.080] That's because it's only on Pacer right now. [43:46.080 --> 43:47.080] I don't think there's anything to send. [43:47.080 --> 43:48.080] I'll load it and send it. [43:48.080 --> 43:49.080] Okay. [43:49.080 --> 43:52.080] We'll be right back. [43:52.080 --> 43:55.080] 512-646-1984. [43:55.080 --> 44:01.080] Special Roast Hemp Coffee from HempUSA.org.

[45:12.080 --> 45:18.080] All right, we are back, watching the sparks fly. [45:18.080 --> 45:20.080] Some Route One music for you. [45:20.080 --> 45:25.080] Okay, Randy, you had a comment just in general concerning the use of language and the way [45:25.080 --> 45:28.080] these people structure these arguments and stuff. [45:28.080 --> 45:32.080] Yes, and I will just touch on one more thing before we go to calls. [45:32.080 --> 45:33.080] Then we'll go to calls. [45:33.080 --> 45:41.080] In here, he states, don't be thrown by the fact they're talking about the sea and that [45:41.080 --> 45:42.080] it doesn't apply to land. [45:42.080 --> 45:46.080] I'll prove to you that Admiralty Law has come on land. [45:46.080 --> 45:47.080] Oh, nice. [45:47.080 --> 45:49.080] Next, a court case. [45:49.080 --> 45:55.080] Pursuant to the law of the flag, a military flag does result in jurisdictional implication [45:55.080 --> 45:56.080] when flown. [45:56.080 --> 45:58.080] The plaintiff cites the following. [45:58.080 --> 46:03.080] Under what is called international law, the law of the flag, a ship owner who sends his [46:03.080 --> 46:09.080] vessel into a foreign port gives notice by his flag to all who enter into contracts with [46:09.080 --> 46:14.080] the ship master that he intends the law of the flag to regulate those contracts with [46:14.080 --> 46:22.080] the ship master that he either submit to its operation or not contract with him or his [46:22.080 --> 46:25.080] agent at all. [46:25.080 --> 46:32.080] Now, you read the rest of the case and what that goes to is when the ship owner comes [46:32.080 --> 46:38.080] into the port, he flies the flag of his nation. [46:38.080 --> 46:48.080] And he indicates that he intends that a contract with him will be adjudicated under the maritime [46:48.080 --> 46:52.080] or the laws of his nation. [46:52.080 --> 46:56.080] Now, he doesn't get to choose that. [46:56.080 --> 47:01.080] He can't say, well, let's see, today we'll fly the British flag. [47:01.080 --> 47:05.080] Tomorrow we'll fly the Russian flag. [47:05.080 --> 47:10.080] He may only fly a flag that applies. [47:10.080 --> 47:16.080] If the flag applies and he flies it, he simply gives notice. [47:16.080 --> 47:22.080] Well, he may fly whatever flag he wants, but that doesn't mean that that's the jurisdiction [47:22.080 --> 47:25.080] that a contract should actually be under. [47:25.080 --> 47:27.080] Exactly. [47:27.080 --> 47:35.080] And he's using this to make the statement that the flying of the flag with the fringe [47:35.080 --> 47:38.080] puts you under maritime. [47:38.080 --> 47:46.080] Well, if this guy is from Albania and he flies a Czechoslovakian flag, it's not going to [47:46.080 --> 47:50.080] make any difference. [47:50.080 --> 47:53.080] It's a wrong flag and it has no jurisdiction. [47:53.080 --> 47:56.080] That's what 9F went to. [47:56.080 --> 48:02.080] And everybody's saying that you cite 9F and you go into Admiralty. [48:02.080 --> 48:05.080] No, that's not the way it works. [48:05.080 --> 48:06.080] That's not what 9F said. [48:06.080 --> 48:08.080] That's circular reasoning. [48:08.080 --> 48:20.080] 9F said that if Admiralty applies and you choose Admiralty, you choose it by citing 9F. [48:20.080 --> 48:28.080] You have to cite the authority under 9F to move it to Admiralty if Admiralty applies. [48:28.080 --> 48:31.080] Otherwise, you don't go to Admiralty. [48:31.080 --> 48:38.080] And what they did was took it and turned it on its head and say, if you cite Admiralty, [48:38.080 --> 48:42.080] it applies automatically because of this statute. [48:42.080 --> 48:46.080] And that's not what the statute said, and that's absolutely not what the case law on [48:46.080 --> 48:47.080] that statute said. [48:47.080 --> 48:52.080] Well, yeah, and Eddie also said last week that the fringe on the flag doesn't mean [48:52.080 --> 48:53.080] Admiralty or Maritime anyway. [48:53.080 --> 48:56.080] It means it designates a ceremonial purpose. [48:56.080 --> 48:58.080] So where is everyone getting this? [48:58.080 --> 49:00.080] Admiralty means gold fringe. [49:00.080 --> 49:02.080] That's not what it even says in the law. [49:02.080 --> 49:05.080] It says it designates a ceremonial purpose. [49:05.080 --> 49:12.080] So the point here was how we have to discipline our minds. [49:12.080 --> 49:22.080] If I read that first statement, he told me that he's going to show me how the flag [49:22.080 --> 49:25.080] creates Admiralty jurisdiction. [49:25.080 --> 49:35.080] And if I read this citation in terms of the flag creating Admiralty jurisdiction, [49:35.080 --> 49:38.080] that's proactive reading. [49:38.080 --> 49:42.080] I will read it to find an answer I'm looking for. [49:42.080 --> 49:46.080] That's what I was saying earlier, people looking for things to back up their side. [49:46.080 --> 49:47.080] Exactly. [49:47.080 --> 49:54.080] Instead of reading it for what it actually says, and it's not within context at all. [49:54.080 --> 49:59.080] I don't see the year, but it's 57 Northeast. [49:59.080 --> 50:02.080] That's very old. [50:02.080 --> 50:09.080] Anyway, the whole problem is we're not extremely careful in how we think [50:09.080 --> 50:11.080] and how we order our minds. [50:11.080 --> 50:14.080] It's called being undisciplined in the mind. [50:14.080 --> 50:25.080] What we're doing is difficult enough without us having to struggle through this fog [50:25.080 --> 50:28.080] that all these guys are throwing up in front of us. [50:28.080 --> 50:31.080] Anyway, that's the end of my rant for the day. [50:31.080 --> 50:34.080] A lot of it is intentional to distract, too, by the bad guys. [50:34.080 --> 50:39.080] I believe so, and we have to always be diligent about that. [50:39.080 --> 50:41.080] Exactly. [50:41.080 --> 50:43.080] We're going to go to calls now. [50:43.080 --> 50:44.080] Sorry, a couple of callers dropped off. [50:44.080 --> 50:45.080] We had Betty. [50:45.080 --> 50:47.080] We've got Michael and Keith. [50:47.080 --> 50:50.080] Betty, if you'd like to call back in, there was another one on the board, too. [50:50.080 --> 50:53.080] We're done with that ranting, so we're going to take your calls. [50:53.080 --> 50:54.080] Michael, thanks for calling in. [50:54.080 --> 50:55.080] What's on your mind tonight? [50:55.080 --> 50:59.080] You have comments about the discussions that have transpired as of now? [50:59.080 --> 51:01.080] You have a new topic? [51:01.080 --> 51:04.080] I actually changed the subject a little bit if I can. [51:04.080 --> 51:05.080] Go ahead. [51:05.080 --> 51:08.080] Brandy, you told me to look at your notice and demand on your site, [51:08.080 --> 51:10.080] so I downloaded it and printed it, [51:10.080 --> 51:15.080] and I'm going to call Friday because it's probably too much to go over, [51:15.080 --> 51:19.080] but when you file that, you file that in conjunction with a challenge [51:19.080 --> 51:21.080] to the jurisdiction of the court? [51:21.080 --> 51:28.080] No, that is not a motion. [51:28.080 --> 51:29.080] Okay. [51:29.080 --> 51:31.080] That is just notice. [51:31.080 --> 51:36.080] Because it says something about the jurisdiction in the notice. [51:36.080 --> 51:39.080] Okay, what it says about the jurisdiction in the notice, [51:39.080 --> 51:46.080] if there is a challenge to the jurisdiction, it must be heard first. [51:46.080 --> 51:48.080] Okay. [51:48.080 --> 51:50.080] The case law says that. [51:50.080 --> 51:52.080] No, statute says that. [51:52.080 --> 51:53.080] Okay. [51:53.080 --> 51:56.080] So this stands above case law. [51:56.080 --> 51:59.080] I can ask you a question. [51:59.080 --> 52:04.080] My girlfriend had her probation revocation hearing postponed on Friday, [52:04.080 --> 52:09.080] and the judge, she's on her probation currently, [52:09.080 --> 52:13.080] but she's charged with violation of probation. [52:13.080 --> 52:14.080] Okay. [52:14.080 --> 52:21.080] So the judge ordered her to go cooperate with the probation department. [52:21.080 --> 52:23.080] And she's not on probation? [52:23.080 --> 52:24.080] No. [52:24.080 --> 52:26.080] She tells me he objected to that. [52:26.080 --> 52:29.080] Of course, we weren't there because, you know, it got postponed, [52:29.080 --> 52:33.080] but that's what the judge ordered, and he said he objected, [52:33.080 --> 52:35.080] and the judge overruled him. [52:35.080 --> 52:37.080] Filed emergency restraining order. [52:37.080 --> 52:39.080] Against the court? [52:39.080 --> 52:40.080] Yeah. [52:40.080 --> 52:42.080] Okay. [52:42.080 --> 52:45.080] That's the remedy for that, and you're in Connecticut. [52:45.080 --> 52:54.080] So that notice and demand, the section that references Rule 120, [52:54.080 --> 52:57.080] that's Texas Code of Civil Procedure. [52:57.080 --> 52:58.080] Okay. [52:58.080 --> 53:00.080] So that won't apply to Connecticut. [53:00.080 --> 53:06.080] You could simply take the rule out and, you know, take the citation out [53:06.080 --> 53:10.080] and demand that any challenge to the subject matter of jurisdiction be heard first. [53:10.080 --> 53:14.080] That's a standing requirement in all courts. [53:14.080 --> 53:15.080] Okay. [53:15.080 --> 53:18.080] And the other question involved was the criminal complaint. [53:18.080 --> 53:22.080] I went down to the clerk's office today to look for it, [53:22.080 --> 53:26.080] and they told me 90 days after the disposition of the case, [53:26.080 --> 53:30.080] the criminal complaint is stripped from the file and destroyed, [53:30.080 --> 53:35.080] and the information is sent to the records department. [53:35.080 --> 53:37.080] That's not in the courthouse. [53:37.080 --> 53:39.080] It's up north somewhere. [53:39.080 --> 53:44.080] Why would they take that one piece of information out of the file [53:44.080 --> 53:45.080] and send it somewhere else? [53:45.080 --> 53:49.080] Now, she said as of October 2008, [53:49.080 --> 53:53.080] the criminal complaints are now required to stay in the file. [53:53.080 --> 53:54.080] So I asked her, I wonder why that is. [53:54.080 --> 53:55.080] Yeah, really. [53:55.080 --> 54:00.080] That's because without them, the court's without subject matter jurisdiction. [54:00.080 --> 54:03.080] And it's also because we're doing something about it. [54:03.080 --> 54:04.080] Right. [54:04.080 --> 54:06.080] Oh, also when I asked for the, [54:06.080 --> 54:09.080] I was looking for the arrest warrant and actually found it wasn't in there. [54:09.080 --> 54:10.080] Well, actually it wasn't in there. [54:10.080 --> 54:13.080] I think it was in the state's attorney's office because the woman said, [54:13.080 --> 54:16.080] well, if it's not here, it's in the state's attorney's office. [54:16.080 --> 54:17.080] Okay. [54:17.080 --> 54:19.080] You need to read the code. [54:19.080 --> 54:24.080] Generally, that will go to a magistrate's duty. [54:24.080 --> 54:32.080] In Texas, 1516, I'm sorry, 15.26 Code of Criminal Procedure, [54:32.080 --> 54:41.080] directs the magistrate to make the warrant available for public inspection [54:41.080 --> 54:45.080] immediately after it's executed. [54:45.080 --> 54:46.080] Okay. [54:46.080 --> 54:49.080] Now, that's in there as a protection. [54:49.080 --> 54:53.080] You're almost certain to have that in Connecticut law. [54:53.080 --> 54:56.080] Well, they got it, I don't know if they, [54:56.080 --> 54:58.080] because it made me wait a long time, so I don't know if they... [54:58.080 --> 54:59.080] No, wait a minute. [54:59.080 --> 55:04.080] It directs the magistrate to make it available. [55:04.080 --> 55:09.080] If the magistrate doesn't have it, the magistrate's in violation of law. [55:09.080 --> 55:14.080] It has to be where the law directs it to be. [55:14.080 --> 55:18.080] If it's not where the law says it's supposed to be, it doesn't exist. [55:18.080 --> 55:20.080] Okay. [55:20.080 --> 55:26.080] And generally, for anything having to do with the prosecution, [55:26.080 --> 55:31.080] with a criminal case, if it's not in the court record, it doesn't exist. [55:31.080 --> 55:33.080] Okay. [55:33.080 --> 55:39.080] So, you know, they're saying that they stripped them out of the file and destroyed them. [55:39.080 --> 55:48.080] I would certainly raise an issue because it's been changed because it was improper to do that. [55:48.080 --> 55:51.080] Okay. [55:51.080 --> 55:53.080] And the fact that they changed it would indicate that. [55:53.080 --> 55:58.080] So go back and make the challenge. [55:58.080 --> 55:59.080] Okay. [55:59.080 --> 56:04.080] This notice in demand, does this remove the attorney from the case or, like, [56:04.080 --> 56:07.080] makes the attorney second chair? [56:07.080 --> 56:09.080] It makes the attorney second chair. [56:09.080 --> 56:15.080] It very clearly states that you do not waive your right to counsel. [56:15.080 --> 56:17.080] Do you have to represent yourself? [56:17.080 --> 56:24.080] Like, you know, if she had a hearing on the challenge of the subject matter, would she have to talk to herself? [56:24.080 --> 56:26.080] No, she wouldn't have to represent herself. [56:26.080 --> 56:30.080] But the attorney would have to do what she says. [56:30.080 --> 56:39.080] What it has the effect of doing is give the attorney plausible deniability. [56:39.080 --> 56:41.080] Right. [56:41.080 --> 56:44.080] This client is unmanageable. [56:44.080 --> 56:51.080] She's telling me to do all of this stuff, and if I don't, she's going to file bar grievances against me and sue me for malpractice. [56:51.080 --> 56:52.080] Okay. [56:52.080 --> 56:53.080] Here's the document. [56:53.080 --> 56:55.080] Look what she gave me. [56:55.080 --> 57:02.080] But that document is also my mother, the Mother Hubbard document, in that it clearly states the court [57:02.080 --> 57:13.080] shall not assume that you waive any rights unless those rights are waived in court in writing after full disclosure free of coercion. [57:13.080 --> 57:14.080] Okay. [57:14.080 --> 57:18.080] So it kind of puts them on the dime. [57:18.080 --> 57:21.080] It makes you look like you're going to be a difficult. [57:21.080 --> 57:31.080] Well, the attorney told me that the judge ordered her to probation because at the last court date, I called him a scumbag, and I shouldn't have done that. [57:31.080 --> 57:36.080] And I said, well, you should have asked him to recuse himself. [57:36.080 --> 57:37.080] Yes. [57:37.080 --> 57:38.080] I was just biased. [57:38.080 --> 57:40.080] Good for you, Michael. [57:40.080 --> 57:42.080] You called him a scumbag. [57:42.080 --> 57:43.080] I did. [57:43.080 --> 57:44.080] That's hilarious. [57:44.080 --> 57:45.080] That was the best you could do? [57:45.080 --> 57:49.080] Well, you know, that was when they stuck her in the mental institution because they said she was incompetent. [57:49.080 --> 57:52.080] I don't remember when I called you about that. [57:52.080 --> 57:54.080] Did she have an evaluation? [57:54.080 --> 57:55.080] She did. [57:55.080 --> 57:57.080] They threw her away for 60 days. [57:57.080 --> 58:02.080] And like I said, the statute states that the judge is supposed to make a finding of probable cause. [58:02.080 --> 58:03.080] Yes. [58:03.080 --> 58:05.080] And he didn't do that? [58:05.080 --> 58:06.080] Okay. [58:06.080 --> 58:08.080] That certainly needs to be addressed. [58:08.080 --> 58:10.080] You have a lot of issues. [58:10.080 --> 58:12.080] I'll call back Friday. [58:12.080 --> 58:13.080] Okay. [58:13.080 --> 58:14.080] Good. [58:14.080 --> 58:15.080] All right. [58:15.080 --> 58:16.080] Thanks, guys. [58:16.080 --> 58:17.080] All right. [58:17.080 --> 58:18.080] Thanks, Michael. [58:18.080 --> 58:19.080] Okay. [58:19.080 --> 58:20.080] We've got Keith from Texas that's up next. [58:20.080 --> 58:22.080] And after that, we've got open phone lines. [58:22.080 --> 58:27.080] So, Betty, if you'd like to call back in, there was, I think, at least one other caller on the board earlier. [58:27.080 --> 58:31.080] Callers, call on in, 512-646-1984. [58:31.080 --> 58:33.080] Discuss whatever's on your mind. [58:33.080 --> 58:39.080] The bimbo, the gun grabbing, the forced vaccinations, or traffic tickets.

[01:00:36.080 --> 01:00:41.080] All right. [01:00:41.080 --> 01:00:43.080] Neighbor, neighbor. [01:00:43.080 --> 01:00:46.080] My neighbor. [01:00:46.080 --> 01:00:49.080] Okay, we're going to go to your calls now. [01:00:49.080 --> 01:00:52.080] We've got Keith from Texas who is up next. [01:00:52.080 --> 01:00:54.080] Keith, thanks for calling in. [01:00:54.080 --> 01:00:55.080] What's on your mind? [01:00:55.080 --> 01:00:58.080] First of all, I'd like to say that I love you guys. [01:00:58.080 --> 01:00:59.080] Oh, thank you. [01:00:59.080 --> 01:01:01.080] We love you, too. [01:01:01.080 --> 01:01:06.080] I think I have an easy one for you that deals with language of law. [01:01:06.080 --> 01:01:08.080] Oh, that's Randy's topic tonight. [01:01:08.080 --> 01:01:09.080] Oh, good. [01:01:09.080 --> 01:01:13.080] I got pulled over for passing an authorized emergency vehicle. [01:01:13.080 --> 01:01:25.080] And the law says on approaching a stationary authorized emergency vehicle, use visual signals that meet requirements, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, you have to slow down or change lanes. [01:01:25.080 --> 01:01:34.080] So I looked it up and then I looked up the definition of passing, the transportation code, same thing. [01:01:34.080 --> 01:01:46.080] Pass or passing, use the reference to a vehicle means to overtake and proceed, pass, other vehicle, moving in the same direction as the passing vehicle or to attempt to maneuver. [01:01:46.080 --> 01:01:53.080] So it's impossible to pass a stationary vehicle because pass by definition means that the other vehicle is also moving. [01:01:53.080 --> 01:01:55.080] Exactly. [01:01:55.080 --> 01:02:04.080] The passing is in the title, but it's not mentioned in defining the law that is being violated. [01:02:04.080 --> 01:02:05.080] Good catch. [01:02:05.080 --> 01:02:11.080] That's all Title VII, Vehicles and Traffic, Chapter 545 here in Tennessee. [01:02:11.080 --> 01:02:22.080] Well, in the alleged event, was the emergency authorized vehicle, if it even was one, was it stationary or was it in motion? [01:02:22.080 --> 01:02:31.080] It was parked behind a semi-truck off in the grass with its lights on and they had about eight motorcycle cops chasing everybody down right in ticket. [01:02:31.080 --> 01:02:33.080] So I think they're setting up a sting. [01:02:33.080 --> 01:02:37.080] That truck was there 45 minutes prior with no police around. [01:02:37.080 --> 01:02:41.080] Then when it came back the other direction, pulled me over for that. [01:02:41.080 --> 01:02:44.080] And I was like, are you kidding me? [01:02:44.080 --> 01:02:55.080] And when the law says, when the law very clearly says that it's okay to continue on in motion if the emergency vehicle is stationary. [01:02:55.080 --> 01:02:56.080] I guess so. [01:02:56.080 --> 01:03:01.080] You're required to slow down 20 mile per hour or move over one lane. [01:03:01.080 --> 01:03:04.080] I couldn't, it was 183, it was slam. [01:03:04.080 --> 01:03:08.080] So wait a minute, was it just one lane there? [01:03:08.080 --> 01:03:16.080] No, it was two lanes so I couldn't get over because there was traffic and I was slowing down but this cop probably about 20 feet off the shoulder. [01:03:16.080 --> 01:03:19.080] They weren't even near the road. [01:03:19.080 --> 01:03:22.080] Oh, so he was a full lane away. [01:03:22.080 --> 01:03:23.080] Probably. [01:03:23.080 --> 01:03:25.080] So he wasn't even on the road. [01:03:25.080 --> 01:03:32.080] No, and there was no, nor officer present for the two-vehicle stop pulled over. [01:03:32.080 --> 01:03:36.080] But there was a bunch of motorcycle cops in there just pulling people over. [01:03:36.080 --> 01:03:38.080] So I think they were setting up a little thing. [01:03:38.080 --> 01:03:46.080] But my whole thing is that the whole wording of the law, how can I pass something that's not moving according to their definition? [01:03:46.080 --> 01:03:48.080] Well, that's exactly it. [01:03:48.080 --> 01:03:50.080] That's exactly how it's laid out. [01:03:50.080 --> 01:03:59.080] Use words that you think you know the definition of and use the law to alter them so that they can say you're violating something that it's impossible for you to do. [01:03:59.080 --> 01:04:02.080] And you gullibly agree. [01:04:02.080 --> 01:04:05.080] Well, yeah, I'll pass him. [01:04:05.080 --> 01:04:13.080] Well, the statute only applies to a motor vehicle, an emergency vehicle that's still moving. [01:04:13.080 --> 01:04:14.080] Right. [01:04:14.080 --> 01:04:18.080] So you can't pass one that's still moving. [01:04:18.080 --> 01:04:23.080] No, you can't pass one that's stationary. [01:04:23.080 --> 01:04:25.080] No, no, the law says you can't pass. [01:04:25.080 --> 01:04:29.080] You're not allowed to pass one that's moving. [01:04:29.080 --> 01:04:31.080] I'm saying what the law is stating. [01:04:31.080 --> 01:04:35.080] The law says you can't pass one, so he'd have to be moving for you to pass it. [01:04:35.080 --> 01:04:36.080] That's the point. [01:04:36.080 --> 01:04:37.080] That's right. [01:04:37.080 --> 01:04:42.080] The definition says has to be moving, but the law says on approaching a stationary authorized emergency vehicle. [01:04:42.080 --> 01:04:45.080] Oh, so the law itself is flawed. [01:04:45.080 --> 01:04:50.080] Section 545.157, passing authorized emergency vehicle. [01:04:50.080 --> 01:04:51.080] That's the title. [01:04:51.080 --> 01:04:52.080] Oh, okay. [01:04:52.080 --> 01:04:54.080] The title's not going to make any difference. [01:04:54.080 --> 01:04:57.080] On approaching a stationary authorized emergency vehicle. [01:04:57.080 --> 01:05:08.080] I don't think the title means squat because they don't use the word passing to define the authorized emergency vehicle. [01:05:08.080 --> 01:05:11.080] Okay, well, yeah, see, the title is just the title. [01:05:11.080 --> 01:05:12.080] It's not the statute. [01:05:12.080 --> 01:05:13.080] Right. [01:05:13.080 --> 01:05:15.080] And it makes no difference what the title is. [01:05:15.080 --> 01:05:18.080] It makes the wording of the statute what matters. [01:05:18.080 --> 01:05:21.080] But the point is they charged him with passing. [01:05:21.080 --> 01:05:22.080] Right. [01:05:22.080 --> 01:05:30.080] And the definition of the very definition of the word pass means that the other vehicle has to be in motion. [01:05:30.080 --> 01:05:32.080] That's the point. [01:05:32.080 --> 01:05:39.080] The passing is merely the name of the statute. [01:05:39.080 --> 01:05:40.080] It's part of the name. [01:05:40.080 --> 01:05:42.080] It's not in the wording itself. [01:05:42.080 --> 01:05:45.080] So you can't pull it out of the title. [01:05:45.080 --> 01:05:48.080] You have to read what's in the substance of the citation. [01:05:48.080 --> 01:05:52.080] Well, did they cite a statute number or code number? [01:05:52.080 --> 01:05:55.080] They cited me for passing an authorized emergency vehicle. [01:05:55.080 --> 01:05:59.080] Well, yeah, that's the title of a very specific statute, and that's sufficient. [01:05:59.080 --> 01:06:00.080] Right. [01:06:00.080 --> 01:06:08.080] But if the wording of the statute doesn't use the word passing, then the fact that it's in the title is just, [01:06:08.080 --> 01:06:11.080] that's just a mark that designates which one it is. [01:06:11.080 --> 01:06:12.080] It makes no difference what's in it. [01:06:12.080 --> 01:06:18.080] Well, what exactly in regards to your actions are they saying was illegal? [01:06:18.080 --> 01:06:20.080] Are they saying you didn't use a blinker? [01:06:20.080 --> 01:06:24.080] Are they saying you didn't change to the other lane or that you didn't slow down enough? [01:06:24.080 --> 01:06:29.080] I mean, what are they, what part of the statute are they saying that you are in violation of? [01:06:29.080 --> 01:06:31.080] Well, there's two things you're supposed to do. [01:06:31.080 --> 01:06:35.080] You either slow down, change lanes if possible. [01:06:35.080 --> 01:06:36.080] Okay. [01:06:36.080 --> 01:06:42.080] And then slow down to 20 miles per hour less than the speed limit if it's more than 25 miles an hour. [01:06:42.080 --> 01:06:44.080] And did you do that? [01:06:44.080 --> 01:06:46.080] Well, 65 miles an hour. [01:06:46.080 --> 01:06:50.080] I got down to 54 by the time he shot me with his laser. [01:06:50.080 --> 01:06:51.080] Oh, that's only 10. [01:06:51.080 --> 01:06:55.080] Were you passing when he shot you with his laser? [01:06:55.080 --> 01:06:58.080] I don't know exactly where he got me with the laser. [01:06:58.080 --> 01:07:04.080] I couldn't get over, but the word passing isn't even used in the law. [01:07:04.080 --> 01:07:09.080] Yeah, so the fact that it's in the title will have no effect. [01:07:09.080 --> 01:07:12.080] So basically they're saying that you didn't slow down enough. [01:07:12.080 --> 01:07:14.080] Is that what they're trying to say? [01:07:14.080 --> 01:07:15.080] Right. [01:07:15.080 --> 01:07:17.080] I didn't get over and I didn't slow down enough. [01:07:17.080 --> 01:07:20.080] But the law says that you're not required to get over. [01:07:20.080 --> 01:07:21.080] You get over if possible. [01:07:21.080 --> 01:07:24.080] And if it's bumper-to-bumper traffic on 183, that's not possible. [01:07:24.080 --> 01:07:27.080] Yeah, or slow down 20 miles per hour. [01:07:27.080 --> 01:07:35.080] No, it's 20 miles per hour below the posted speed limit if the speed limit is an excess of 25 miles per hour. [01:07:35.080 --> 01:07:36.080] Right. [01:07:36.080 --> 01:07:43.080] So 65 I would have had to have slowed to 45 or gotten over a lane, but I could not do that. [01:07:43.080 --> 01:07:45.080] It was 183 during... [01:07:45.080 --> 01:07:47.080] Here's your problem. [01:07:47.080 --> 01:07:57.080] If you go to the merits in any manner, you will lose, period. [01:07:57.080 --> 01:07:59.080] There's no fairness in these courts. [01:07:59.080 --> 01:08:01.080] If you go to the merits, you're going to lose. [01:08:01.080 --> 01:08:02.080] So, Randy, you're saying that just... [01:08:02.080 --> 01:08:08.080] If I try to pick up the definition of passing in their definitions of the title of traffic code [01:08:08.080 --> 01:08:11.080] and I tell them where's the word passing in the law, I would lose. [01:08:11.080 --> 01:08:12.080] Yes. [01:08:12.080 --> 01:08:19.080] Yeah, Randy, the definition of pass that he's referring to is applicable to the entire chapter of Chapter 545, [01:08:19.080 --> 01:08:21.080] Operation and Movement of Vehicles. [01:08:21.080 --> 01:08:22.080] It's not limited to that section. [01:08:22.080 --> 01:08:24.080] It is for the entire chapter. [01:08:24.080 --> 01:08:27.080] Yes, but passing is not used in the statute. [01:08:27.080 --> 01:08:29.080] Right. [01:08:29.080 --> 01:08:33.080] So it doesn't make any difference what they title it. [01:08:33.080 --> 01:08:36.080] The law is defined by the statute itself. [01:08:36.080 --> 01:08:41.080] And if it's not used in the statute, then it doesn't apply because it's not used. [01:08:41.080 --> 01:08:43.080] Yeah, they didn't use the word pass. [01:08:43.080 --> 01:08:46.080] And by definition for that chapter, it has to be a moving vehicle. [01:08:46.080 --> 01:08:51.080] So, Randy, you're saying that the title of these statutes, [01:08:51.080 --> 01:08:57.080] whatever language is used in the title of these statutes, means absolutely nothing at all? [01:08:57.080 --> 01:08:58.080] Yes. [01:08:58.080 --> 01:09:01.080] Well, they could call it law X1050 if they wanted. [01:09:01.080 --> 01:09:10.080] No, actually, our Code of Criminal Procedure says the judge may use the title to expound upon the intent of the code. [01:09:10.080 --> 01:09:13.080] It says that right in the Code of Criminal Procedure. [01:09:13.080 --> 01:09:20.080] The judge may use the titles of any chapter or any section to determine the meaning and intent of that section. [01:09:20.080 --> 01:09:30.080] Yes, but he can't juxtapose the title for the clear wording of the statute, only where there's ambiguity. [01:09:30.080 --> 01:09:35.080] Yeah, and it's pretty clear in the statute that they are referencing a stationary emergency vehicle. [01:09:35.080 --> 01:09:36.080] Yes. [01:09:36.080 --> 01:09:41.080] You won't be able to get past that, but here is the way he gets past that. [01:09:41.080 --> 01:09:47.080] An operator, okay, unless otherwise directed. [01:09:47.080 --> 01:09:52.080] We're back to commercial operation of a vehicle again. [01:09:52.080 --> 01:10:04.080] That's where you go not to the merits, but to the subject matter jurisdiction details. [01:10:04.080 --> 01:10:11.080] I think that's what Keith was trying to do by examining the definition of the word pass. [01:10:11.080 --> 01:10:16.080] Yeah, that was a good shot, but he can't get back there. [01:10:16.080 --> 01:10:20.080] We were talking about how much he slowed down. [01:10:20.080 --> 01:10:22.080] Now you're going to the merits, so we can't go there. [01:10:22.080 --> 01:10:23.080] Yeah, that's the merits. [01:10:23.080 --> 01:10:24.080] He'll lose on that. [01:10:24.080 --> 01:10:28.080] In this case, he's dirty. [01:10:28.080 --> 01:10:35.080] He should lose, but you can argue that there were no individuals present and that he wasn't on the side of the roadway. [01:10:35.080 --> 01:10:38.080] He was off well clear of the roadway. [01:10:38.080 --> 01:10:42.080] It's kind of like one of those traffic fines double only when workers are present. [01:10:42.080 --> 01:10:45.080] There was nobody there. [01:10:45.080 --> 01:10:47.080] He wasn't on the shoulder of the road. [01:10:47.080 --> 01:10:48.080] No, not even close. [01:10:48.080 --> 01:10:52.080] What was the flow of traffic? [01:10:52.080 --> 01:10:56.080] 183, about 120 in the afternoon. [01:10:56.080 --> 01:11:00.080] Okay, I don't travel that stretch of road, so enlighten me. [01:11:00.080 --> 01:11:04.080] 183 is a reasonably busy road during the day. [01:11:04.080 --> 01:11:07.080] So were you in a line of traffic? [01:11:07.080 --> 01:11:09.080] Yes. [01:11:09.080 --> 01:11:15.080] So you could not reasonably travel in a method other than what the movement of the other traffic allowed? [01:11:15.080 --> 01:11:16.080] No, I couldn't. [01:11:16.080 --> 01:11:17.080] Yeah, he could have. [01:11:17.080 --> 01:11:20.080] He could have slowed down 10 miles more. [01:11:20.080 --> 01:11:22.080] You never went to the merits anyway. [01:11:22.080 --> 01:11:31.080] I was just like, eh, because you pass cops all the time who their butts are hanging out in the shoulder, and you have to slow down. [01:11:31.080 --> 01:11:33.080] I give them such a beep. [01:11:33.080 --> 01:11:34.080] Hey, you know what? [01:11:34.080 --> 01:11:38.080] I don't know about that, Randy, about, yeah, he could have slowed down. [01:11:38.080 --> 01:11:42.080] I mean, sometimes the way the traffic flows here in Austin, it's like the East Coast. [01:11:42.080 --> 01:11:50.080] I mean, it's bumper-to-bumper traffic, and literally the guy behind you or whoever's behind you is like eight inches from your bumper, [01:11:50.080 --> 01:11:57.080] and you are all traveling at 70 miles an hour, because that's the only way anybody can get anywhere on the East Coast, and it's getting like that in Austin, too. [01:11:57.080 --> 01:12:03.080] And if you come up on an emergency vehicle, the only way you can reduce your speed by 20 miles an hour is like slamming on your brakes. [01:12:03.080 --> 01:12:04.080] You're going to get rear-ended. [01:12:04.080 --> 01:12:05.080] It's going to be a domino effect. [01:12:05.080 --> 01:12:13.080] So depending on the flow of traffic and how close the cars are to each other and how fast they're traveling, sometimes it's not possible to slow down. [01:12:13.080 --> 01:12:20.080] I could imagine a circumstance where it would not be possible, but it would be extreme. [01:12:20.080 --> 01:12:24.080] I probably could have slowed down, but these guys are so far off the road. [01:12:24.080 --> 01:12:25.080] So he's too far off the road. [01:12:25.080 --> 01:12:28.080] If he's not on the shoulder, he's in the medium. [01:12:28.080 --> 01:12:30.080] Yeah, he's probably on private property. [01:12:30.080 --> 01:12:34.080] The statute doesn't apply to the medium. [01:12:34.080 --> 01:12:36.080] The medium's not a public thoroughfare. [01:12:36.080 --> 01:12:38.080] We still go into the merits of the case. [01:12:38.080 --> 01:12:41.080] And it was not an emergency, because that truck had been there for 45 minutes. [01:12:41.080 --> 01:12:45.080] No, go to subject matter jurisdiction. [01:12:45.080 --> 01:12:49.080] The policeman was not on a thoroughfare. [01:12:49.080 --> 01:12:51.080] He was on the medium. [01:12:51.080 --> 01:12:53.080] It's not part of the thoroughfare. [01:12:53.080 --> 01:12:55.080] The shoulder is. [01:12:55.080 --> 01:12:58.080] So the transportation code applies. [01:12:58.080 --> 01:13:01.080] I understand the intent of the law is to protect the officer. [01:13:01.080 --> 01:13:06.080] But when they're not even close to the road, I mean, that's like if they had somebody pulled over in a fine line. [01:13:06.080 --> 01:13:10.080] Which side of the road was your vehicle on? [01:13:10.080 --> 01:13:16.080] On my vehicle, I was in the right-hand lane, and the truck was pulled over far right into the grass. [01:13:16.080 --> 01:13:19.080] On the same side or the opposite side from you? [01:13:19.080 --> 01:13:22.080] Same side that I was going. [01:13:22.080 --> 01:13:29.080] It was about a four-foot shoulder, and then from the shoulder, the truck and the police car were at least 12, 15 feet off the shoulder. [01:13:29.080 --> 01:13:32.080] And is it a two-lane or four-lane or more highway? [01:13:32.080 --> 01:13:33.080] Two-lane. [01:13:33.080 --> 01:13:34.080] So it's two-lane. [01:13:34.080 --> 01:13:37.080] Four-lane, but two in the direction I was going. [01:13:37.080 --> 01:13:43.080] All right. So he was at least eight feet from your lane. [01:13:43.080 --> 01:13:45.080] Y'all are still going in the merits of the case. [01:13:45.080 --> 01:13:50.080] Yeah, I know, and I keep saying that you'll lose it no matter what. [01:13:50.080 --> 01:13:53.080] In these courts, you will lose on the merits of the case. [01:13:53.080 --> 01:13:56.080] So I should just bring out the old definition then. [01:13:56.080 --> 01:13:58.080] Yes, here's the problem. [01:13:58.080 --> 01:14:01.080] Well, there's another thing he can approach it with, Randy. [01:14:01.080 --> 01:14:02.080] Yeah. [01:14:02.080 --> 01:14:07.080] They have to prove the elements of the charge, each and every element, okay? [01:14:07.080 --> 01:14:09.080] They have to prove you're an operator. [01:14:09.080 --> 01:14:15.080] They have to prove you're involved in operating, okay? [01:14:15.080 --> 01:14:24.080] And let's see, an operator, unless otherwise directed, it doesn't address the type of vehicle at all. [01:14:24.080 --> 01:14:30.080] It simply states an operator. [01:14:30.080 --> 01:14:31.080] Okay. [01:14:31.080 --> 01:14:33.080] Yeah, I like that approach because- [01:14:33.080 --> 01:14:35.080] Yeah, not merits, but structure. [01:14:35.080 --> 01:14:44.080] Because you start reading down the code and what the actual law says, and it all starts with the operator, okay? [01:14:44.080 --> 01:14:50.080] Well, if he's not an operator, then it really doesn't matter whether the cop was in the median or on the shoulder. [01:14:50.080 --> 01:14:53.080] If he's not an operator, then the whole thing is bogus. [01:14:53.080 --> 01:14:58.080] Yeah, and if the ticket said appear on or before a certain date, the ticket's bogus. [01:14:58.080 --> 01:15:04.080] And see, I like going to the definition of operator because this hits home. [01:15:04.080 --> 01:15:09.080] This hits to the heart of the crux of the real issue, which is right to travel. [01:15:09.080 --> 01:15:11.080] Subject matter jurisdiction. [01:15:11.080 --> 01:15:20.080] And that the whole traffic code is written to apply to commercial entities, not individual humans traveling. [01:15:20.080 --> 01:15:24.080] Yeah, I was supposed to have a trial by jury today, but I get in there, [01:15:24.080 --> 01:15:28.080] and then they decided they're going to add a second officer to the docket, [01:15:28.080 --> 01:15:32.080] and they filed a motion of continuance until like September something. [01:15:32.080 --> 01:15:33.080] Wait a minute. [01:15:33.080 --> 01:15:37.080] You need to move for dismissal. [01:15:37.080 --> 01:15:44.080] They have to file the motion for dismissal seven days prior. [01:15:44.080 --> 01:15:45.080] Oh, yeah. [01:15:45.080 --> 01:15:47.080] Yes, they do. [01:15:47.080 --> 01:15:53.080] You see, they didn't politely ask you if today would be a good day for you to come down. [01:15:53.080 --> 01:15:54.080] I know. [01:15:54.080 --> 01:15:58.080] I got all clean, put on my nice-looking shirt and went down there with all my questions and everything, [01:15:58.080 --> 01:15:59.080] and then they tell me. [01:15:59.080 --> 01:16:04.080] They threatened you with arrest if you didn't show up that day at that time. [01:16:04.080 --> 01:16:10.080] That means they have a duty to be prepared at that day, that time, if they don't show up right to dismissal. [01:16:10.080 --> 01:16:11.080] Right. [01:16:11.080 --> 01:16:12.080] You need to go for dismissal. [01:16:12.080 --> 01:16:13.080] Okay. [01:16:13.080 --> 01:16:14.080] I would do that. [01:16:14.080 --> 01:16:15.080] I'd better do that. [01:16:15.080 --> 01:16:20.080] Move to disqualify the judge for official oppression for not giving you the dismissal. [01:16:20.080 --> 01:16:25.080] Yeah, and the commercial guys would tell you to bill them for your time, too. [01:16:25.080 --> 01:16:27.080] Yeah, bill them for the time, too. [01:16:27.080 --> 01:16:28.080] That would be cool. [01:16:28.080 --> 01:16:33.080] Yeah, and this motion of continuance, I mean, it's supposed to print name. [01:16:33.080 --> 01:16:34.080] It's got a grid hole. [01:16:34.080 --> 01:16:39.080] There's one signature from the defendant attorney who's not me. [01:16:39.080 --> 01:16:42.080] I didn't sign that. [01:16:42.080 --> 01:16:46.080] And then the judge just initialed it. [01:16:46.080 --> 01:16:49.080] Yeah, how come I didn't have to sign this? [01:16:49.080 --> 01:16:50.080] Are we going to break? [01:16:50.080 --> 01:16:51.080] No, I'm going to skip the break. [01:16:51.080 --> 01:16:53.080] Go ahead. [01:16:53.080 --> 01:16:57.080] Yeah, it says, I understand that I'm responsible for confirming the motion, blah, blah, blah. [01:16:57.080 --> 01:16:59.080] I won't be made to my rest. [01:16:59.080 --> 01:17:02.080] I'll show up, signature of defendant slash attorney. [01:17:02.080 --> 01:17:03.080] It's got some signature on there. [01:17:03.080 --> 01:17:07.080] I didn't go in there with an attorney, and I'm the defendant. [01:17:07.080 --> 01:17:08.080] I just noticed that. [01:17:08.080 --> 01:17:09.080] Yeah, okay. [01:17:09.080 --> 01:17:11.080] Well, you had a right to trial that day. [01:17:11.080 --> 01:17:12.080] Right. [01:17:12.080 --> 01:17:22.080] So that you need to move for dismissal, you need to file bar grievance against the prosecutor, [01:17:22.080 --> 01:17:25.080] official oppression against the judge. [01:17:25.080 --> 01:17:26.080] Just have fun with it. [01:17:26.080 --> 01:17:27.080] It's a ticket. [01:17:27.080 --> 01:17:28.080] I mean, the worst you can do is... [01:17:28.080 --> 01:17:29.080] Oh, I didn't have a lot of fun with this. [01:17:29.080 --> 01:17:31.080] So... [01:17:31.080 --> 01:17:34.080] Yeah, I want to talk about one that I got a call about today, too, Randy. [01:17:34.080 --> 01:17:36.080] Okay. [01:17:36.080 --> 01:17:38.080] When we're done with this joint. [01:17:38.080 --> 01:17:42.080] Should I try to get the judge removed from the bench? [01:17:42.080 --> 01:17:47.080] No, just file your motion to dismiss, because they summoned you in. [01:17:47.080 --> 01:17:49.080] They were required to be prepared. [01:17:49.080 --> 01:17:50.080] Okay. [01:17:50.080 --> 01:17:53.080] Because it kind of shows they should have just thrown it out. [01:17:53.080 --> 01:17:54.080] Yes. [01:17:54.080 --> 01:17:55.080] They should have thrown it out. [01:17:55.080 --> 01:17:56.080] Ah. [01:17:56.080 --> 01:17:57.080] Yeah. [01:17:57.080 --> 01:17:58.080] Okay. [01:17:58.080 --> 01:17:59.080] So I'll do that. [01:17:59.080 --> 01:18:02.080] Hopefully that should work 50th time. [01:18:02.080 --> 01:18:03.080] Okay. [01:18:03.080 --> 01:18:04.080] Yeah. [01:18:04.080 --> 01:18:05.080] Good luck. [01:18:05.080 --> 01:18:09.080] I'm learning about the commercial lien process, too, because this is a case where you were [01:18:09.080 --> 01:18:11.080] harmed and you have a legitimate claim. [01:18:11.080 --> 01:18:14.080] And that's what I was talking about, billing them for your time. [01:18:14.080 --> 01:18:17.080] I should. [01:18:17.080 --> 01:18:18.080] Okay. [01:18:18.080 --> 01:18:25.080] Tomorrow night, the agenda 21 guys are going to be on at 6 o'clock. [01:18:25.080 --> 01:18:31.080] So you might want to call in and ask them about, you know, how you would file your notice [01:18:31.080 --> 01:18:34.080] for your claim and bill them for your time and stuff like that. [01:18:34.080 --> 01:18:36.080] I say hit them from all angles. [01:18:36.080 --> 01:18:37.080] That's cool. [01:18:37.080 --> 01:18:41.080] I'm more interested in just getting the whole thing dropped and slapping a couple people [01:18:41.080 --> 01:18:43.080] on the way out. [01:18:43.080 --> 01:18:47.080] So you guys are saying you need to file for a motion of dismissal? [01:18:47.080 --> 01:18:48.080] Yes. [01:18:48.080 --> 01:18:50.080] And that should take care of it? [01:18:50.080 --> 01:18:51.080] Yes. [01:18:51.080 --> 01:18:54.080] I wish I had one made up for that. [01:18:54.080 --> 01:19:02.080] If I can get some time in the next few days, I may write one up and brief out on that issue. [01:19:02.080 --> 01:19:05.080] I need one for a traffic case that I have. [01:19:05.080 --> 01:19:06.080] Okay. [01:19:06.080 --> 01:19:10.080] Well, I guess I can poke around on y'all's website and see if it pops up. [01:19:10.080 --> 01:19:12.080] I've got until September to work on that. [01:19:12.080 --> 01:19:13.080] Oh, okay. [01:19:13.080 --> 01:19:15.080] Hey, Randy, do me a favor also. [01:19:15.080 --> 01:19:21.080] Anything you collect for traffic, please make a special folder for that and save it so that when we [01:19:21.080 --> 01:19:26.080] start putting the traffic seminar stuff together, I can access that and get to it directly. [01:19:26.080 --> 01:19:28.080] I already do that. [01:19:28.080 --> 01:19:35.080] There will be a folder in blanks and research in the research folder. [01:19:35.080 --> 01:19:37.080] There should be a traffic. [01:19:37.080 --> 01:19:39.080] I know I've got right to travel in there. [01:19:39.080 --> 01:19:40.080] Okay. [01:19:40.080 --> 01:19:45.080] And anything that will be either under traffic or tickets, I'll check. [01:19:45.080 --> 01:19:47.080] But I always save stuff in folders like that. [01:19:47.080 --> 01:19:55.080] So if you're doing research, you might go to that research folder and see what folders I've got in there. [01:19:55.080 --> 01:20:08.080] I was doing a document on DUI and went to my research folder, and I had just recently dropped in a [01:20:08.080 --> 01:20:13.080] treatment from Texas Civil Litigation Guide. [01:20:13.080 --> 01:20:18.080] I'm a criminal litigation guide in there, and it was dead on. [01:20:18.080 --> 01:20:20.080] Saved me major research. [01:20:20.080 --> 01:20:22.080] Everything I needed was right there. [01:20:22.080 --> 01:20:25.080] So I'm building those folders up. [01:20:25.080 --> 01:20:29.080] Every time I come across good information, I drop them in there. [01:20:29.080 --> 01:20:30.080] All right. [01:20:30.080 --> 01:20:32.080] Well, did you have anything else, Keith? [01:20:32.080 --> 01:20:33.080] No, I guess that's it. [01:20:33.080 --> 01:20:34.080] Thanks a lot for your time. [01:20:34.080 --> 01:20:35.080] All right. [01:20:35.080 --> 01:20:36.080] Thank you. [01:20:36.080 --> 01:20:37.080] All right, bye. [01:20:37.080 --> 01:20:38.080] Okay, bye. [01:20:38.080 --> 01:20:41.080] We're going to go now to Jessie in Texas. [01:20:41.080 --> 01:20:42.080] Hey, Jessie. [01:20:42.080 --> 01:20:43.080] Hey, thanks for calling in. [01:20:43.080 --> 01:20:44.080] What's on your mind? [01:20:44.080 --> 01:20:45.080] Oh, hi. [01:20:45.080 --> 01:20:53.080] A friend of mine had a police officer come to their door. [01:20:53.080 --> 01:21:04.080] They had filed complaints about a dog barking all night long for weeks, and that person that they either filed against [01:21:04.080 --> 01:21:13.080] or not had filed a complaint against them for mooning them from their second floor window and videotaping [01:21:13.080 --> 01:21:15.080] and disturbing their dog and all of this. [01:21:15.080 --> 01:21:25.080] And so the police came to my friend's door and told this guy that he had to step out of his front door outside [01:21:25.080 --> 01:21:27.080] to speak to the police officer. [01:21:27.080 --> 01:21:33.080] Is that true that if a police officer tells you to step out of your house without a warrant that you have to do that? [01:21:33.080 --> 01:21:34.080] No. [01:21:34.080 --> 01:21:35.080] Okay. [01:21:35.080 --> 01:21:37.080] It's absolutely not true. [01:21:37.080 --> 01:21:38.080] Okay. [01:21:38.080 --> 01:21:45.080] Well, this police officer insisted on that. [01:21:45.080 --> 01:21:48.080] Then file a complaint against him. [01:21:48.080 --> 01:21:49.080] Okay. [01:21:49.080 --> 01:21:51.080] Did he arrest anyone? [01:21:51.080 --> 01:21:52.080] No. [01:21:52.080 --> 01:22:00.080] Charge him with Class A misdemeanor, official oppression, violation 3903 penal code. [01:22:00.080 --> 01:22:02.080] 3903 penal? [01:22:02.080 --> 01:22:03.080] Yeah, yeah. [01:22:03.080 --> 01:22:05.080] Look up 3903. [01:22:05.080 --> 01:22:13.080] Okay, and my other question was on that from the guy who called before about the dismissal, [01:22:13.080 --> 01:22:15.080] filing the motion for dismissal. [01:22:15.080 --> 01:22:22.080] Do you only have seven or 14 days to file that or is it kind of more? [01:22:22.080 --> 01:22:23.080] No, no. [01:22:23.080 --> 01:22:29.080] His wasn't a final adjudication, so he's got, like you said, until September. [01:22:29.080 --> 01:22:30.080] Okay. [01:22:30.080 --> 01:22:39.080] You have to file, if you want a motion for continuance, you have to file that at least seven days before the hearing [01:22:39.080 --> 01:22:47.080] with an affidavit, a verified affidavit stating cause for the continuance. [01:22:47.080 --> 01:22:50.080] It's in the rules. [01:22:50.080 --> 01:22:53.080] So if they don't do that, you know, they don't do it as a matter of course. [01:22:53.080 --> 01:22:56.080] They did it to me in Austin. [01:22:56.080 --> 01:23:02.080] And I had a fit, told this little clerk gave me this paper saying that my case had been continued. [01:23:02.080 --> 01:23:04.080] I said, no, it hasn't. [01:23:04.080 --> 01:23:05.080] Well, yes, it has. [01:23:05.080 --> 01:23:06.080] The judge told me to give you this. [01:23:06.080 --> 01:23:08.080] I don't care what the judge told you. [01:23:08.080 --> 01:23:13.080] I didn't get a notice for continuance seven days before, so the judge has no authority. [01:23:13.080 --> 01:23:15.080] I'm going to have my case today. [01:23:15.080 --> 01:23:17.080] Oh, well, you can't have your case today. [01:23:17.080 --> 01:23:20.080] Then tell the judge that I have business with the court. [01:23:20.080 --> 01:23:22.080] Well, I can't tell the judge that. [01:23:22.080 --> 01:23:23.080] Then no problem. [01:23:23.080 --> 01:23:24.080] I'll do it myself. [01:23:24.080 --> 01:23:25.080] Where's security? [01:23:25.080 --> 01:23:27.080] I need security in here. [01:23:27.080 --> 01:23:28.080] Just a moment. [01:23:28.080 --> 01:23:29.080] I'll talk to the judge. [01:23:29.080 --> 01:23:31.080] And she did. [01:23:31.080 --> 01:23:35.080] And the judge called me up and I crawled right down her throat. [01:23:35.080 --> 01:23:37.080] You need to dismiss this case. [01:23:37.080 --> 01:23:39.080] You need to dismiss it now. [01:23:39.080 --> 01:23:41.080] She said, well, I can't dismiss the case. [01:23:41.080 --> 01:23:42.080] Of course you can. [01:23:42.080 --> 01:23:43.080] You're the judge. [01:23:43.080 --> 01:23:47.080] Not only can you, it's your duty to dismiss it. [01:23:47.080 --> 01:23:48.080] We had this argument. [01:23:48.080 --> 01:23:55.080] She refused, and I'll be filing against her just for the fun of it since it's a ticket. [01:23:55.080 --> 01:23:56.080] All right. [01:23:56.080 --> 01:23:57.080] Thank you so much. [01:23:57.080 --> 01:23:58.080] You're welcome. [01:23:58.080 --> 01:23:59.080] All right. [01:23:59.080 --> 01:24:00.080] Thank you, Jesse. [01:24:00.080 --> 01:24:01.080] Okay. [01:24:01.080 --> 01:24:03.080] We're going to go now to first-time caller Sam. [01:24:03.080 --> 01:24:05.080] Sam from Texas. [01:24:05.080 --> 01:24:07.080] Thanks for calling in, first-time caller. [01:24:07.080 --> 01:24:09.080] What's on your mind? [01:24:09.080 --> 01:24:17.080] There's this Class B misdemeanor a friend of mine has, and it's just a quick scenario. [01:24:17.080 --> 01:24:23.080] He went into court in Dallas County, and they wanted to push an attorney off on him. [01:24:23.080 --> 01:24:28.080] And he fought with him, and he finally got some papers in the court. [01:24:28.080 --> 01:24:31.080] But it took a while to file him in the court. [01:24:31.080 --> 01:24:40.080] Then when he went into court, the judge jumped on him and played like the court reporter was really working, [01:24:40.080 --> 01:24:45.080] was really working at the time, dismissed all the special appearances, [01:24:45.080 --> 01:24:49.080] and finally gave the information after David to him. [01:24:49.080 --> 01:24:54.080] And then later on, he found out that the court reporter wasn't really there. [01:24:54.080 --> 01:24:56.080] He went back two more times. [01:24:56.080 --> 01:25:00.080] The third time he went back, they moved his case to another court. [01:25:00.080 --> 01:25:07.080] And now what's going to happen to those motions that was put in their original court? [01:25:07.080 --> 01:25:10.080] They can't show that they weren't heard. [01:25:10.080 --> 01:25:11.080] Yes, they were. [01:25:11.080 --> 01:25:14.080] And they forced an attorney on him also. [01:25:14.080 --> 01:25:18.080] He waived the attorney. [01:25:18.080 --> 01:25:21.080] Was this in Travis County? [01:25:21.080 --> 01:25:23.080] No, no, this is in Dallas County. [01:25:23.080 --> 01:25:26.080] Oh, I didn't know they were doing that in Dallas County. [01:25:26.080 --> 01:25:31.080] Well, frankly, I let them give me an attorney. [01:25:31.080 --> 01:25:32.080] Do what? [01:25:32.080 --> 01:25:36.080] He should take the attorney. [01:25:36.080 --> 01:25:37.080] Okay. [01:25:37.080 --> 01:25:45.080] And then first thing to do is go on my website and download my blank non-waiver document. [01:25:45.080 --> 01:25:46.080] Okay. [01:25:46.080 --> 01:25:48.080] I think he's already did that. [01:25:48.080 --> 01:25:53.080] I mean, not your website, the file one in the first clerk's office. [01:25:53.080 --> 01:25:57.080] No, no, what this non-waiver is, it's not really non-waiver. [01:25:57.080 --> 01:25:59.080] That's the title I had on it. [01:25:59.080 --> 01:26:07.080] It's a notice in demand, you relegate the attorney to second chair. [01:26:07.080 --> 01:26:08.080] Okay. [01:26:08.080 --> 01:26:14.080] And you put the attorney on notice and you're going to kick his behind if he don't do his job. [01:26:14.080 --> 01:26:21.080] And the first time your attorney doesn't file a motion that should have been filed, you file a bar agreements against it. [01:26:21.080 --> 01:26:22.080] Okay. [01:26:22.080 --> 01:26:24.080] Don't say anything to him about it. [01:26:24.080 --> 01:26:26.080] Just file it. [01:26:26.080 --> 01:26:31.080] He will get noticed by the bar that you filed it. [01:26:31.080 --> 01:26:35.080] And he can't mention it to you. [01:26:35.080 --> 01:26:42.080] He's forbidden by the bar standards, so he can't say, why did you do that? [01:26:42.080 --> 01:26:46.080] Because then you file another one for him doing that. [01:26:46.080 --> 01:26:51.080] And three bar grievances just about end his career. [01:26:51.080 --> 01:27:09.080] So in filing this non-waiver, it's a notice in demand that they abide by all your rights and relegate your attorney to second chair [01:27:09.080 --> 01:27:14.080] and demand they hear any due process motions before anything else. [01:27:14.080 --> 01:27:22.080] And so when you file that, it's going to become clear to the court that you're going to be an uncooperative defendant. [01:27:22.080 --> 01:27:28.080] And the attorney is going to tell the court, I can't control my client. [01:27:28.080 --> 01:27:30.080] He's going to ruin my career. [01:27:30.080 --> 01:27:36.080] You've got to hit me and get the court on your side to protect their buddy, [01:27:36.080 --> 01:27:47.080] the Scheister attorney who conspires with the prosecutor to get you to take a deal. [01:27:47.080 --> 01:27:51.080] So you beat up this attorney and force him to have to do his job. [01:27:51.080 --> 01:27:54.080] They're really going to hate that. [01:27:54.080 --> 01:27:59.080] You say that if he will not file some of the motions or let me file his motions, that means... [01:27:59.080 --> 01:28:00.080] Oh, no. [01:28:00.080 --> 01:28:04.080] That's what the non-waiver does. [01:28:04.080 --> 01:28:08.080] As you relegate him to second chair, he doesn't have anything to say about it. [01:28:08.080 --> 01:28:12.080] And I can show you how to file motions anyway. [01:28:12.080 --> 01:28:14.080] Okay, let me explain this. [01:28:14.080 --> 01:28:20.080] If you got an attorney, he's going to say you can't file any motions, only he can. [01:28:20.080 --> 01:28:22.080] Well, I don't care what he says. [01:28:22.080 --> 01:28:29.080] What you do is you take your motion and make four copies of it, put them in an envelope, [01:28:29.080 --> 01:28:36.080] take three envelopes, fold them in half and put them in the envelope, [01:28:36.080 --> 01:28:44.080] address one to the prosecutor, one to your attorney, and one to you. [01:28:44.080 --> 01:28:49.080] And on the front of the envelope that you mail to the clerk, [01:28:49.080 --> 01:28:55.080] you put the clerk's name and address and your attorney's return address. [01:28:55.080 --> 01:28:58.080] So when they get it, they're going to think your attorney sent it. [01:28:58.080 --> 01:29:02.080] And you put a letter in it asking them to stamp each of the documents, [01:29:02.080 --> 01:29:07.080] put them in the included envelopes, and mail them back to the recipients. [01:29:07.080 --> 01:29:09.080] So the clerk, they do this all the time. [01:29:09.080 --> 01:29:11.080] They get these all day. [01:29:11.080 --> 01:29:15.080] So she'll just stamp them all, stick them in the envelope, lick them, send them. [01:29:15.080 --> 01:29:20.080] First your attorney knows about it is when he gets his copy. [01:29:20.080 --> 01:29:23.080] He's not going to be a happy camper. [01:29:23.080 --> 01:29:25.080] Too bad. [01:29:25.080 --> 01:29:26.080] They're already filed. [01:29:26.080 --> 01:29:31.080] You can't, that bill's already rung and you can't un-mail it. [01:29:31.080 --> 01:29:34.080] What about moving the case like that to another court? [01:29:34.080 --> 01:29:37.080] Okay, yeah, they knew that. [01:29:37.080 --> 01:29:38.080] Okay, we're going to go to break. [01:29:38.080 --> 01:29:39.080] We're going to break now. [01:29:39.080 --> 01:29:41.080] Sam, do you want to stay on the line? [01:29:41.080 --> 01:29:42.080] Do you have other questions? [01:29:42.080 --> 01:29:43.080] No, that'll be good. [01:29:43.080 --> 01:29:44.080] That'll be good. [01:29:44.080 --> 01:29:45.080] I'll hang up. [01:29:45.080 --> 01:29:46.080] Okay, great. [01:29:46.080 --> 01:29:47.080] Thank you, Sam. [01:29:47.080 --> 01:29:48.080] First time caller.

We are taking your calls [01:31:53.280 --> 01:32:01.280] And before we go to the next caller, I just had one brief comment that I wanted to make concerning [01:32:01.280 --> 01:32:06.280] Well, as Randy would like to put it, posture [01:32:06.280 --> 01:32:11.280] And I like to call it mindset or maybe attitude [01:32:11.280 --> 01:32:17.280] Okay, where you're coming from and I just wanted to briefly address a caller earlier [01:32:17.280 --> 01:32:23.280] You know, when I mentioned perhaps some commercial remedies for him to bill for his time [01:32:23.280 --> 01:32:29.280] Because he was harmed, because he was summoned to court and then they blew it off [01:32:29.280 --> 01:32:34.280] And it's illegal for them to do that and on and on and on, so he has a legitimate claim [01:32:34.280 --> 01:32:39.280] And the caller said, well, you know, I just want to make all this go away [01:32:39.280 --> 01:32:44.280] And just get the charges dropped and, you know, and I understand that, okay [01:32:44.280 --> 01:32:50.280] I understand that mindset, you know, we feel that, you know, when these tickets come [01:32:50.280 --> 01:32:55.280] Or these kinds of things come on part of the government, you know, we just want to make it go away [01:32:55.280 --> 01:33:00.280] And maybe, I don't know what his reasons were for not wanting to pursue any other remedies [01:33:00.280 --> 01:33:06.280] Or to get compensation, maybe it's just not worth his time or, you know, whatever the reasons may be [01:33:06.280 --> 01:33:11.280] But I want to discuss a mindset here or a posture [01:33:11.280 --> 01:33:20.280] Even if people choose not to pursue a commercial remedy, okay, of sending a bill or liens or whatever [01:33:20.280 --> 01:33:26.280] Or even choose not to pursue a civil remedy like a lawsuit, it doesn't really matter [01:33:26.280 --> 01:33:32.280] The point is that we have to raise the bar here [01:33:32.280 --> 01:33:37.280] If we really want to take back our country and our freedom [01:33:37.280 --> 01:33:47.280] And I have gotten to the point where it's not good enough for me anymore just to make it all go away, okay [01:33:47.280 --> 01:33:54.280] No, I've been damaged and I want compensation because it costs me my time [01:33:54.280 --> 01:33:59.280] It costs me emotional stress on and on when these things happen [01:33:59.280 --> 01:34:04.280] They've damaged me and I deserve some compensation and they deserve to be punished, okay [01:34:04.280 --> 01:34:08.280] That's why in civil litigation you have punitive damages, okay [01:34:08.280 --> 01:34:16.280] It's not enough just to show where, in my book, it's not enough anymore just to show where they're breaking the law [01:34:16.280 --> 01:34:19.280] So that you can get the case dismissed [01:34:19.280 --> 01:34:23.280] We have to raise the bar and realize what we're really worth [01:34:23.280 --> 01:34:28.280] What are you really worth, you know, what is your life worth, what is your time worth [01:34:28.280 --> 01:34:33.280] It's not good enough just to make these guys just go away and just make the hassle go away [01:34:33.280 --> 01:34:37.280] No, they are wrong, they damaged you, they damaged me [01:34:37.280 --> 01:34:43.280] And we have to zero out the books, so to speak, okay [01:34:43.280 --> 01:34:46.280] There is a, the scales are tipped, all right [01:34:46.280 --> 01:34:50.280] There's been a debit and now there has to be a credit, some kind of way, okay [01:34:50.280 --> 01:34:53.280] We've got to start looking at it this way [01:34:53.280 --> 01:34:58.280] And I'm not saying, you know, that means you have to file UCC-1s [01:34:58.280 --> 01:35:01.280] I'm not saying that means you have to pursue civil litigation [01:35:01.280 --> 01:35:04.280] I'm just talking about the mindset, okay [01:35:04.280 --> 01:35:13.280] It's the posture that we have to, we have to just, we have to stop being in the mindset where we're just swatting off flies [01:35:13.280 --> 01:35:15.280] Yeah, let me weigh in here [01:35:15.280 --> 01:35:19.280] We have to eliminate the pestilence, okay [01:35:19.280 --> 01:35:21.280] Okay, so go ahead, Randy [01:35:21.280 --> 01:35:29.280] Let me weigh in, I've been studying this issue for 30 some odd years [01:35:29.280 --> 01:35:35.280] I've essentially devoted my life to this issue [01:35:35.280 --> 01:35:40.280] If you want to just make the ticket go away, don't call me [01:35:40.280 --> 01:35:44.280] I don't want to help you just make the ticket go away [01:35:44.280 --> 01:35:47.280] That's why I'm spending my whole life doing this [01:35:47.280 --> 01:35:55.280] Because everybody says, oh well, it's too much trouble to do my job [01:35:55.280 --> 01:36:02.280] This thing is in a mess not because the police are corrupt or the courts are corrupt or the prosecutors are corrupt [01:36:02.280 --> 01:36:11.280] This system is in this mess because everybody says, oh well, it's too much trouble [01:36:11.280 --> 01:36:18.280] I've got my bass boat, I've got to go scrape the barnacles off the bottom of it or my cat needs a bath [01:36:18.280 --> 01:36:24.280] If you just want me to help you make it go away, I don't want to talk to you [01:36:24.280 --> 01:36:26.280] Just go in there and pay the fine [01:36:26.280 --> 01:36:28.280] No offense to the caller [01:36:28.280 --> 01:36:30.280] Yeah, no offense to the caller [01:36:30.280 --> 01:36:33.280] I understand you may not realize that, but this is my whole life [01:36:33.280 --> 01:36:38.280] I'm trying to keep from going to jail now for doing this [01:36:38.280 --> 01:36:41.280] But it comes with the territory [01:36:41.280 --> 01:36:47.280] If we're going to get our criminal justice system back, we're going to have to fight with them [01:36:47.280 --> 01:36:55.280] Yeah, and we have to realize too that, like I was saying earlier, the analogy of swatting off flies or swatting off mosquitoes [01:36:55.280 --> 01:37:06.280] We can't look at this situation anymore that it's just an annoyance or a bother and just slap the mosquitoes and just make it go away [01:37:06.280 --> 01:37:10.280] Because if you have that attitude, you're going to get overrun [01:37:10.280 --> 01:37:18.280] It's going to be a cloud, a storm of mosquitoes, and it's going to carry deadly diseases and kill you [01:37:18.280 --> 01:37:20.280] We have to realize this for what it is [01:37:20.280 --> 01:37:26.280] It's a very calculated threat to our liberties and our very lives [01:37:26.280 --> 01:37:33.280] And that's why I'm saying we have to raise the bar and realize how much we're really worth [01:37:33.280 --> 01:37:36.280] What is our time worth? What are our lives worth? [01:37:36.280 --> 01:37:39.280] And not just swap these guys off like flies, okay? [01:37:39.280 --> 01:37:43.280] No, they damaged us, and I deserve compensation [01:37:43.280 --> 01:37:51.280] And I'll tell you, it's going to be a pain in the butt to go after Officer Hayes of the Incident Management Team of the Forestry Service [01:37:51.280 --> 01:37:56.280] It's going to take months. I'm going to have to do a lot of legal research, writing a lot of papers [01:37:56.280 --> 01:38:02.280] I probably won't get compensated for what I feel I should, but it's like he damaged me [01:38:02.280 --> 01:38:08.280] These people damaged me, and it's got to stop, and I deserve compensation, and he deserves to be punished one way or the other [01:38:08.280 --> 01:38:13.280] And at this point, and for me, I'm after the money, okay? [01:38:13.280 --> 01:38:16.280] I am after the money. I want to hit him when it hurts [01:38:16.280 --> 01:38:22.280] Because you take away their funding, and that means they can't pull their shenanigans anymore [01:38:22.280 --> 01:38:27.280] The real issue is what they did to the children last year [01:38:27.280 --> 01:38:31.280] We just can't let them think they can continue to do this [01:38:31.280 --> 01:38:36.280] And like the policeman who gave me back my ID card [01:38:36.280 --> 01:38:42.280] He stopped me, and I gave him my ID card and stood on my driver's license. They both look exactly alike [01:38:42.280 --> 01:38:46.280] And when he realized it was an ID, he came back and he said, Mr. Kelton, this is an ID [01:38:46.280 --> 01:38:51.280] Do you have a driver's license? I said, yes, I do, but I'm not using it right now [01:38:51.280 --> 01:38:56.280] And he stepped back and looked at me, and he said, Mr. Kelton, are you one of those guys? [01:38:56.280 --> 01:38:58.280] Yes, I am [01:38:58.280 --> 01:39:01.280] And I'll tell you what, it's about what they did this year, too [01:39:01.280 --> 01:39:06.280] Because I've got it on video, they're rampaging through Kitty Village [01:39:06.280 --> 01:39:15.280] With some type of weapon in one hand, either firearm or their rubber bullets with pepper spray [01:39:15.280 --> 01:39:18.280] And a camera in the other hand [01:39:18.280 --> 01:39:20.280] Now obviously these people have firearms training [01:39:20.280 --> 01:39:25.280] That is not responsible firearms management and protocol [01:39:25.280 --> 01:39:30.280] To have any kind of a weapon in one hand that could be discharged with a trigger and a camera [01:39:30.280 --> 01:39:35.280] Or anything else in the other hand [01:39:35.280 --> 01:39:40.280] It's ridiculous [01:39:40.280 --> 01:39:42.280] Randy? [01:39:42.280 --> 01:39:43.280] Yes [01:39:43.280 --> 01:39:45.280] Did we lose right? Okay, there you are [01:39:45.280 --> 01:39:50.280] They're good at it though, Denver [01:39:50.280 --> 01:39:51.280] Randy's right [01:39:51.280 --> 01:39:52.280] Okay, let's go to the next caller [01:39:52.280 --> 01:39:56.280] Randy's right, we're giving our lives for this [01:39:56.280 --> 01:39:59.280] Okay, we're going to go to Mike in Texas [01:39:59.280 --> 01:40:02.280] Hey, Mike, thanks for calling in, what's on your mind tonight? [01:40:02.280 --> 01:40:10.280] Hi, I wanted to ask you, Randy [01:40:10.280 --> 01:40:14.280] When you get a ticket, shouldn't one of the first things you do [01:40:14.280 --> 01:40:19.280] Would be to check the oath of office of all the people involved [01:40:19.280 --> 01:40:24.280] Like the police officer, judge, prosecutor, so forth? [01:40:24.280 --> 01:40:27.280] Yes, that's not the first thing I do [01:40:27.280 --> 01:40:29.280] The first thing I do is look at the ticket [01:40:29.280 --> 01:40:31.280] Yeah, yeah, I know that [01:40:31.280 --> 01:40:33.280] I've looked at that, you sent me some motions [01:40:33.280 --> 01:40:36.280] I've been out of town, I just got back [01:40:36.280 --> 01:40:41.280] You should check oath of office as a matter of course [01:40:41.280 --> 01:40:44.280] That's what Eddie and I are putting together [01:40:44.280 --> 01:40:46.280] Actually, Eddie's putting it together [01:40:46.280 --> 01:40:50.280] We want to put together a set of standard motions to file [01:40:50.280 --> 01:40:53.280] That's what the litigation engine will do [01:40:53.280 --> 01:40:57.280] You put in your name and the citation number and your address [01:40:57.280 --> 01:41:01.280] And the address of the court and the name of the officer [01:41:01.280 --> 01:41:04.280] And boom, it'll spit out all these documents [01:41:04.280 --> 01:41:06.280] That will be part of it [01:41:06.280 --> 01:41:07.280] Wow, that's great [01:41:07.280 --> 01:41:12.280] The reason is not so much to determine whether or not he has it [01:41:12.280 --> 01:41:14.280] You want him to have it [01:41:14.280 --> 01:41:16.280] Yeah [01:41:16.280 --> 01:41:19.280] Because that establishes contract with you [01:41:19.280 --> 01:41:20.280] Right [01:41:20.280 --> 01:41:23.280] And you want to make sure he's contracted [01:41:23.280 --> 01:41:28.280] So when he violates the contract, you get to slam him for it [01:41:28.280 --> 01:41:32.280] How do I go about checking oath of office? [01:41:32.280 --> 01:41:33.280] Where do I go to do that? [01:41:33.280 --> 01:41:39.280] Open records request if it's a city to the city secretary [01:41:39.280 --> 01:41:43.280] If it's a county to the sheriff [01:41:43.280 --> 01:41:46.280] And whoever the director of the agency is [01:41:46.280 --> 01:41:49.280] Here's kind of how open records works [01:41:49.280 --> 01:41:50.280] Yeah [01:41:50.280 --> 01:41:56.280] The director of an agency be it a police department, sheriff's department [01:41:56.280 --> 01:41:59.280] Municipality would be the mayor [01:41:59.280 --> 01:42:04.280] The director of the agency is designated the custodian of the record [01:42:04.280 --> 01:42:05.280] Yeah [01:42:05.280 --> 01:42:09.280] If you look on my website, you'll see some standard blank information requests [01:42:09.280 --> 01:42:10.280] Okay [01:42:10.280 --> 01:42:15.280] Those are designed over a long time [01:42:15.280 --> 01:42:20.280] There's a lot of verbiage in there, but it's put in there because of the crapola [01:42:20.280 --> 01:42:22.280] That they try to pull on me [01:42:22.280 --> 01:42:26.280] And I put these in there to head them off ahead of time [01:42:26.280 --> 01:42:30.280] So you send it to the director of the agency [01:42:30.280 --> 01:42:35.280] And a lot of times you'll talk to these people and they'll say, well, this is not the right department [01:42:35.280 --> 01:42:37.280] You don't have to take it over to so-and-so [01:42:37.280 --> 01:42:39.280] I said, no, ma'am [01:42:39.280 --> 01:42:43.280] If you work with this department, if you are not the custodian of the record [01:42:43.280 --> 01:42:48.280] You will forward it to whoever is the custodian of the record [01:42:48.280 --> 01:42:50.280] And that's what the law says [01:42:50.280 --> 01:42:55.280] Sometimes the director will designate someone the custodian [01:42:55.280 --> 01:42:58.280] And when I take an information request to a [01:42:58.280 --> 01:43:01.280] If I happen to go there and give it to someone [01:43:01.280 --> 01:43:07.280] And they say they're not the right ones, then send it to whoever is the right one [01:43:07.280 --> 01:43:10.280] And they try to argue with me, well, you don't have to take it [01:43:10.280 --> 01:43:12.280] No, ma'am, you got it [01:43:12.280 --> 01:43:14.280] I'm not taking it [01:43:14.280 --> 01:43:18.280] You do whatever you want to with it, I don't care [01:43:18.280 --> 01:43:20.280] So that's how we do that [01:43:20.280 --> 01:43:29.280] And just anybody in the agency is good enough because they're directed to forward it to the director [01:43:29.280 --> 01:43:35.280] And then any kind of motions or anything having to do with my specific case [01:43:35.280 --> 01:43:37.280] You just take that to the clerk, right? [01:43:37.280 --> 01:43:38.280] Take that to the clerk [01:43:38.280 --> 01:43:44.280] And always when you file a motion, put a letter in there asking the clerk to set it for the next available hearing date [01:43:44.280 --> 01:43:45.280] Okay [01:43:45.280 --> 01:43:49.280] If you file a motion and don't set it for hearing, it never gets heard [01:43:49.280 --> 01:43:50.280] Okay [01:43:50.280 --> 01:43:52.280] That's something they don't tell you [01:43:52.280 --> 01:43:54.280] Okay, we got lots of calls [01:43:54.280 --> 01:43:55.280] Any more questions? [01:43:55.280 --> 01:43:56.280] All right [01:43:56.280 --> 01:43:57.280] No, that'll do it [01:43:57.280 --> 01:43:58.280] Thank you so much [01:43:58.280 --> 01:43:59.280] All right, thank you [01:43:59.280 --> 01:44:04.280] We're going to skip this break so we can try to jam in as many of these calls as possible [01:44:04.280 --> 01:44:06.280] They're flooded here at the end of the show [01:44:06.280 --> 01:44:13.280] Okay, we're going to go now to first-time caller JD in South Dakota [01:44:13.280 --> 01:44:14.280] There [01:44:14.280 --> 01:44:15.280] Hey, JD, thanks [01:44:15.280 --> 01:44:16.280] Yes, thanks for calling in [01:44:16.280 --> 01:44:17.280] What's on your mind? [01:44:17.280 --> 01:44:24.280] Well, the person who runs a transmitter station in Sioux Falls and who's going to bring one to where I live, Aberdeen [01:44:24.280 --> 01:44:26.280] Tom Daschle's hometown, if that tells you anything [01:44:26.280 --> 01:44:27.280] Correct [01:44:27.280 --> 01:44:30.280] Suggested that I should give you a call [01:44:30.280 --> 01:44:34.280] I am a landlord here in Aberdeen and I got myself into a bit of a pickle jam [01:44:34.280 --> 01:44:39.280] I'll try to make a long story short to get into the other callers [01:44:39.280 --> 01:44:46.280] When I was 18 years old, I was told I could go on social security disability because I have obsessive compulsive disorder [01:44:46.280 --> 01:44:47.280] and it was quite severe [01:44:47.280 --> 01:44:50.280] Instead, I chose to be personally responsible for myself [01:44:50.280 --> 01:44:53.280] 18 years later, I have double rental property [01:44:53.280 --> 01:45:01.280] Unfortunately, the city where I live decided to go on a proactive step of knocking down buildings [01:45:01.280 --> 01:45:05.280] They have a home rule charter and they're very aggressive at doing that now [01:45:05.280 --> 01:45:13.280] I bought the property, invested about $40,000 in it, and the contractor fell apart on me [01:45:13.280 --> 01:45:19.280] I got a new contractor and then they said, well, since you stopped working for a bit, let us go in there and tell you what you need to do now [01:45:19.280 --> 01:45:24.280] They did that, they claimed it was worse than when they went into the place the first time [01:45:24.280 --> 01:45:27.280] They knocked down the building, they cost me over $40,000 [01:45:27.280 --> 01:45:31.280] I had other properties lined up to be fixed next [01:45:31.280 --> 01:45:39.280] I couldn't fix them, I tried to remedy myself by moving a house I found onto the vacant lot which would have created equity [01:45:39.280 --> 01:45:41.280] and they refused to let me do that [01:45:41.280 --> 01:45:44.280] They said, no, you need to fix these other buildings first [01:45:44.280 --> 01:45:48.280] Well, I couldn't get the funding on the other buildings, I could get the funding to move the house [01:45:48.280 --> 01:45:59.280] And bring it up to today, it's kind of like telling me to wash a car, giving me a damp wash cloth and saying, wash the entire car [01:45:59.280 --> 01:46:03.280] Okay, I've washed the car a little bit, I want to go six feet and get fresh water [01:46:03.280 --> 01:46:08.280] No, no, no, no, city officials are intelligent, we need to tell you how to wash that car [01:46:08.280 --> 01:46:12.280] Keep washing it with that dirty, now dried wash right [01:46:12.280 --> 01:46:14.280] And by the way, what's taking you so long? [01:46:14.280 --> 01:46:20.280] Well, if you'd let me go get the wash cloth, I could finish washing the car, if you could let me get the wash cloth clean [01:46:20.280 --> 01:46:23.280] So, I could fix my property [01:46:23.280 --> 01:46:30.280] JD, no, that's okay, that's okay, yeah, this is a complicated situation, I know we're not going to have time [01:46:30.280 --> 01:46:34.280] Even if we spent the whole next segment on it [01:46:34.280 --> 01:46:38.280] Have you looked at the local code? [01:46:38.280 --> 01:46:41.280] That's what I was going to say, you need to read the local building code [01:46:41.280 --> 01:46:51.280] I'm going to give you a suggestion, first thing, do not believe anything these people tell you about the law of the codes [01:46:51.280 --> 01:46:52.280] Right [01:46:52.280 --> 01:46:53.280] Notice that [01:46:53.280 --> 01:46:57.280] They will lie to you, I know that may be hard to accept [01:46:57.280 --> 01:46:58.280] Not at all [01:46:58.280 --> 01:47:02.280] But if their lips are moving, you can be sure [01:47:02.280 --> 01:47:11.280] First thing to do is read the code, and what I try to do is trip them across the edge of the code [01:47:11.280 --> 01:47:13.280] Read it carefully [01:47:13.280 --> 01:47:15.280] I used to be a contractor [01:47:15.280 --> 01:47:21.280] I had an inspector come in and inspect the building I was working on and told me what all I had to do [01:47:21.280 --> 01:47:26.280] I did it, he came back, he got a whole other list [01:47:26.280 --> 01:47:31.280] He got about half way through the list and I threw him out of the building [01:47:31.280 --> 01:47:34.280] Insist that I couldn't do that [01:47:34.280 --> 01:47:41.280] I insisted I am bigger than you are, I assure you I can throw you out of this building now, get out [01:47:41.280 --> 01:47:44.280] Yeah, and I want to make a couple of comments too [01:47:44.280 --> 01:47:53.280] Okay, this is probably, any remedies at this point is probably going to be in an administrative setting for one thing [01:47:53.280 --> 01:47:54.280] Okay [01:47:54.280 --> 01:47:59.280] Going forward with knocking down the buildings because I couldn't afford to fix them after they knocked down the first one [01:47:59.280 --> 01:48:04.280] Do you have the last one scheduled for demolition tomorrow? [01:48:04.280 --> 01:48:06.280] That's crazy what they've done to me [01:48:06.280 --> 01:48:11.280] It's probably too late to stop that unless you get emergency restraining order [01:48:11.280 --> 01:48:14.280] I don't think that will be possible [01:48:14.280 --> 01:48:18.280] The fact that we've already had a hearing [01:48:18.280 --> 01:48:21.280] I'm willing to listen [01:48:21.280 --> 01:48:24.280] Okay, the point of what I was saying before was [01:48:24.280 --> 01:48:25.280] Yes sir [01:48:25.280 --> 01:48:28.280] I threw him out of the building and then I went to the mayor [01:48:28.280 --> 01:48:29.280] Okay [01:48:29.280 --> 01:48:31.280] And told the mayor [01:48:31.280 --> 01:48:38.280] You have that guy come back and tell me everything that I have to do [01:48:38.280 --> 01:48:46.280] If he subsequently comes back with one thing that he tells me I have to do, I will build a city for it [01:48:46.280 --> 01:48:51.280] I pay this guy to come out here and do this inspection [01:48:51.280 --> 01:48:56.280] If he can't do it right, you get someone who can [01:48:56.280 --> 01:48:59.280] I had no more problem [01:48:59.280 --> 01:49:01.280] Yeah, now one thing you may want to do is [01:49:01.280 --> 01:49:04.280] Well unfortunately the demolition is scheduled for tomorrow [01:49:04.280 --> 01:49:07.280] Yeah, it really is I think too late [01:49:07.280 --> 01:49:14.280] But the Agenda 21 talk guys, their specialty is in dealing with this type of situation [01:49:14.280 --> 01:49:18.280] Codes, building codes and how to fight the city with these kind of issues [01:49:18.280 --> 01:49:22.280] Their show is on Tuesday nights from 8 to 10 and Fridays from 6 to 8 [01:49:22.280 --> 01:49:26.280] So you may want to call in tomorrow night to their show at 8 [01:49:26.280 --> 01:49:28.280] Okay, I've touched base with them too [01:49:28.280 --> 01:49:33.280] I was advised to get both sides of the information and so I thought I'd call tonight [01:49:33.280 --> 01:49:40.280] Yeah, first thing to do is get the universal building code, the international building codes [01:49:40.280 --> 01:49:43.280] Because just about everybody has accepted those [01:49:43.280 --> 01:49:44.280] Right [01:49:44.280 --> 01:49:55.280] And then go to the city and get the city ordinances where they have made changes and adjustments to the international code [01:49:55.280 --> 01:50:00.280] And then look at what they've done because these building inspectors are used to doing anything they want to [01:50:00.280 --> 01:50:01.280] Okay [01:50:01.280 --> 01:50:03.280] They're not used to being hammered [01:50:03.280 --> 01:50:05.280] Have you filed suit? [01:50:05.280 --> 01:50:08.280] Not yet, that has been suggested [01:50:08.280 --> 01:50:12.280] Are you familiar with the tort letter? [01:50:12.280 --> 01:50:14.280] Not yet, I'd like to know more [01:50:14.280 --> 01:50:17.280] Tort letters are very powerful [01:50:17.280 --> 01:50:22.280] In order to be able to sue a, generally a municipality or a county [01:50:22.280 --> 01:50:27.280] You have to notify them 60 days and give them 60 days to handle whatever the problem is [01:50:27.280 --> 01:50:34.280] The courts say that don't use the court as the remedy of first resort, use it as remedy of last resort [01:50:34.280 --> 01:50:39.280] So you send them a tort letter saying they did this, they did that, they did this, they harmed me in this way [01:50:39.280 --> 01:50:44.280] You harmed me in this amount, make me whole [01:50:44.280 --> 01:50:51.280] Yeah and as I was saying you may have to exhaust some administrative remedies before you can take it into court [01:50:51.280 --> 01:50:53.280] So that's why you have to read the code [01:50:53.280 --> 01:50:54.280] Okay [01:50:54.280 --> 01:50:59.280] Okay, once you, when you send in that tort letter, they're going to give it to their attorney [01:50:59.280 --> 01:51:02.280] And their attorney is going to know exactly what it is [01:51:02.280 --> 01:51:06.280] He's going to tell them this guy is about to sue the crap out of you [01:51:06.280 --> 01:51:11.280] And that a lot of times will get them off your case [01:51:11.280 --> 01:51:18.280] If it doesn't, a civil suit against the city works wonders [01:51:18.280 --> 01:51:22.280] And you can stop them from acting for a couple of years [01:51:22.280 --> 01:51:24.280] You can stave them off [01:51:24.280 --> 01:51:25.280] Okay [01:51:25.280 --> 01:51:28.280] And cost them a lot of money [01:51:28.280 --> 01:51:38.280] Especially if you can find where the inspector exercised an authority he did not specifically have [01:51:38.280 --> 01:51:40.280] Then you sue the mayor [01:51:40.280 --> 01:51:41.280] Okay [01:51:41.280 --> 01:51:49.280] They just switched as of July this year to a city manager situation, does that change it slightly? [01:51:49.280 --> 01:51:50.280] No [01:51:50.280 --> 01:51:51.280] Okay [01:51:51.280 --> 01:51:53.280] I still sue the mayor [01:51:53.280 --> 01:51:54.280] Okay [01:51:54.280 --> 01:51:58.280] Let him, let the city manager explain to the mayor why you're suing him [01:51:58.280 --> 01:52:00.280] Okay, we are running out of time [01:52:00.280 --> 01:52:01.280] Yeah, we're running out of time [01:52:01.280 --> 01:52:04.280] And I wanted to take the rest of these callers as much as I can [01:52:04.280 --> 01:52:07.280] Because some of them are other first-time callers as well [01:52:07.280 --> 01:52:12.280] So maybe call back in on Thursday when we'll have a little bit more time [01:52:12.280 --> 01:52:13.280] Thank you [01:52:13.280 --> 01:52:14.280] Actually Friday we do a four-hour [01:52:14.280 --> 01:52:17.280] Friday and also the agenda 21 does too [01:52:17.280 --> 01:52:20.280] Okay, I do work evenings usually, but I'll see what I can do, thank you [01:52:20.280 --> 01:52:21.280] Okay, thank you [01:52:21.280 --> 01:52:26.280] Okay, we're going to go now to our other first-time caller on the list, Daniel from California [01:52:26.280 --> 01:52:27.280] Hey [01:52:27.280 --> 01:52:29.280] Hey Daniel, what's on your mind? [01:52:29.280 --> 01:52:30.280] Oh, not much [01:52:30.280 --> 01:52:35.280] I just heard you guys speak about the bonds that are created through each one of these tickets [01:52:35.280 --> 01:52:40.280] And just wanted to mention, have you guys gone any further on that? [01:52:40.280 --> 01:52:44.280] Has Randy, he said he has found out about the bid bond, performance bond [01:52:44.280 --> 01:52:46.280] And then there was a third one [01:52:46.280 --> 01:52:47.280] Appearance bond [01:52:47.280 --> 01:52:51.280] The third reading is, yeah, you have the performance [01:52:51.280 --> 01:52:53.280] The bid, performance, and appearance [01:52:53.280 --> 01:52:55.280] Everybody knows about the appearance [01:52:55.280 --> 01:52:57.280] That's the one you give to the bondsman [01:52:57.280 --> 01:52:58.280] Right, right [01:52:58.280 --> 01:53:00.280] Have you read anything on Gene Keating? [01:53:00.280 --> 01:53:02.280] Because it looks like [01:53:02.280 --> 01:53:04.280] Oh, Keating [01:53:04.280 --> 01:53:05.280] Gene Keating, because I could [01:53:05.280 --> 01:53:06.280] Yeah, I know about Keating [01:53:06.280 --> 01:53:08.280] I looked at his website [01:53:08.280 --> 01:53:11.280] The first page had three citations on them [01:53:11.280 --> 01:53:14.280] I looked them up and none of them were on point [01:53:14.280 --> 01:53:15.280] Okay [01:53:15.280 --> 01:53:16.280] So I wasn't happy [01:53:16.280 --> 01:53:17.280] All right [01:53:17.280 --> 01:53:18.280] If you've seen the [01:53:18.280 --> 01:53:20.280] But I am real interested in this [01:53:20.280 --> 01:53:23.280] I have a bunch of these I want to file [01:53:23.280 --> 01:53:32.280] I can tell you this, Daniel, talking to C, who's been dealing with the bonds issue on traffic [01:53:32.280 --> 01:53:35.280] Traffic tickets and court cases in general [01:53:35.280 --> 01:53:39.280] She says they used to assign individual QCID numbers to the cases [01:53:39.280 --> 01:53:42.280] To the bonds created off the cases, the securities instrument [01:53:42.280 --> 01:53:43.280] But they don't do that anymore [01:53:43.280 --> 01:53:44.280] They bundle them up [01:53:44.280 --> 01:53:48.280] And so it's really difficult to chase down the actual individual case [01:53:48.280 --> 01:53:52.280] Because you have one QCID number assigned to a group [01:53:52.280 --> 01:53:53.280] Right, right [01:53:53.280 --> 01:53:55.280] And that's all I know about that [01:53:55.280 --> 01:53:56.280] Yeah, it looks like [01:53:56.280 --> 01:54:03.280] They started off with the bid bond, which is in the beginning when they hoped to default [01:54:03.280 --> 01:54:04.280] So you know how they give you [01:54:04.280 --> 01:54:08.280] They give a lot of people a certain date to either show up or respond [01:54:08.280 --> 01:54:14.280] What it looks like they've been doing is they're always giving you different [01:54:14.280 --> 01:54:19.280] Or longer periods of time to default you behind the curtain [01:54:19.280 --> 01:54:22.280] So that's where it starts off from the bid bond [01:54:22.280 --> 01:54:27.280] Then after a default, a dishonor, it moves to the next stage [01:54:27.280 --> 01:54:33.280] And what they're looking for is the surety, who's underwriting it, the broker [01:54:33.280 --> 01:54:40.280] And it looks like once they're matured at the end, you have [01:54:40.280 --> 01:54:47.280] Before they're matured, the district courts are buying a lot of these state court bonds [01:54:47.280 --> 01:54:50.280] Because eventually they go all the way back up to the stock market [01:54:50.280 --> 01:54:51.280] And then [01:54:51.280 --> 01:54:53.280] Have you been able to trace these bonds? [01:54:53.280 --> 01:54:55.280] I haven't traced any, no [01:54:55.280 --> 01:54:58.280] That's why I just mentioned if he hasn't gone any further [01:54:58.280 --> 01:54:59.280] I don't know if [01:54:59.280 --> 01:55:01.280] He said he's gone on Gene King's website [01:55:01.280 --> 01:55:06.280] I didn't know he had a website, but I have a treatise which he says [01:55:06.280 --> 01:55:11.280] The way he got out was by using those GSA forms [01:55:11.280 --> 01:55:18.280] But he traced where they were being used and how they were matured [01:55:18.280 --> 01:55:19.280] All three of them [01:55:19.280 --> 01:55:22.280] You need all three of them to be matured to get stamped [01:55:22.280 --> 01:55:27.280] I think, I don't know if it's by the secretary [01:55:27.280 --> 01:55:30.280] Then it goes into the stock exchange [01:55:30.280 --> 01:55:33.280] I'd like to see some actual paperwork [01:55:33.280 --> 01:55:36.280] Listen, Daniel, we need to move on because you have three minutes left [01:55:36.280 --> 01:55:39.280] And I want to take the rest of the calls if we can [01:55:39.280 --> 01:55:42.280] Should I just go to Randy's to shoot an email over there? [01:55:42.280 --> 01:55:43.280] Yes [01:55:43.280 --> 01:55:44.280] Shoot me an email [01:55:44.280 --> 01:55:47.280] This is something I'm digging up information on now [01:55:47.280 --> 01:55:49.280] Send it to both of us, please [01:55:49.280 --> 01:55:50.280] Bye [01:55:50.280 --> 01:55:51.280] Thank you [01:55:51.280 --> 01:55:53.280] We're moving on now [01:55:53.280 --> 01:55:56.280] We have literally, we've got like two and a half minutes left [01:55:56.280 --> 01:55:59.280] I don't know if we're going to be able to take all these calls [01:55:59.280 --> 01:56:03.280] We're going to go now to Gary in Texas [01:56:03.280 --> 01:56:04.280] Gary, quickly [01:56:04.280 --> 01:56:05.280] Yes, real quickly [01:56:05.280 --> 01:56:12.280] In the event of a nonprofit corporation operating as a homeowner association [01:56:12.280 --> 01:56:19.280] If the bylaws require that the president preside over all meetings [01:56:19.280 --> 01:56:23.280] If a meeting is held and the president does not preside over that meeting [01:56:23.280 --> 01:56:27.280] And another officer who doesn't have the authority to do that does [01:56:27.280 --> 01:56:31.280] Is an election which took place valid? [01:56:31.280 --> 01:56:33.280] No [01:56:33.280 --> 01:56:36.280] Well, if an election took place during that meeting [01:56:36.280 --> 01:56:43.280] Otherwise, any business that took place in that meeting would be voidable [01:56:43.280 --> 01:56:48.280] It wouldn't be void on its face, but it'd be subject to voiding if you [01:56:48.280 --> 01:56:52.280] Unless there were special provisions in the bylaws for an election [01:56:52.280 --> 01:56:57.280] No, ma'am, the only thing it says is that all meetings shall be presided over by the president [01:56:57.280 --> 01:56:59.280] And the president was not in attendance [01:56:59.280 --> 01:57:03.280] Then the election's invalid if the election was held in the meeting [01:57:03.280 --> 01:57:05.280] That's what it sounds like to me [01:57:05.280 --> 01:57:07.280] Can I ask one more quick question about the AG's office? [01:57:07.280 --> 01:57:08.280] Yeah, quickly [01:57:08.280 --> 01:57:11.280] Quickly, I want to try to jam in at least one more call, hurry [01:57:11.280 --> 01:57:12.280] I'll catch y'all next time [01:57:12.280 --> 01:57:13.280] Y'all go ahead and get the other call [01:57:13.280 --> 01:57:15.280] Okay, all right [01:57:15.280 --> 01:57:20.280] We're going to go now to our affiliate, Mark in Wisconsin [01:57:20.280 --> 01:57:25.280] Mark, quickly [01:57:25.280 --> 01:57:27.280] Hello, this is Mark from Wisconsin [01:57:27.280 --> 01:57:28.280] Yes [01:57:28.280 --> 01:57:30.280] I talked to you guys about a week ago [01:57:30.280 --> 01:57:34.280] I talked to Randy about my situation with my home [01:57:34.280 --> 01:57:40.280] That I was reported on property a week or a week and a half ago [01:57:40.280 --> 01:57:46.280] And I sent out a couple emails to you, Randy, and Deborah, and I just didn't hear back [01:57:46.280 --> 01:57:52.280] And I was just wondering if there's anything that you've looked at in terms of what we've done [01:57:52.280 --> 01:57:55.280] I don't remember any emails [01:57:55.280 --> 01:57:57.280] Will you send them to me again? [01:57:57.280 --> 01:57:59.280] They might have got buried [01:57:59.280 --> 01:58:02.280] Wasn't it Randy after a rule of law? [01:58:02.280 --> 01:58:05.280] Yes, and listen, Mark and other listeners [01:58:05.280 --> 01:58:08.280] Randy and I have been swamped with paperwork trying to keep Randy out of jail [01:58:08.280 --> 01:58:11.280] And other issues that I've had to take care of [01:58:11.280 --> 01:58:14.280] So if we're not responding to your emails right away, please don't be offended [01:58:14.280 --> 01:58:19.280] All right, listen, let me try to get in Ron from Arkansas [01:58:19.280 --> 01:58:23.280] Ron, quickly, you have like 10 seconds, 20 seconds [01:58:23.280 --> 01:58:25.280] Court of Claims [01:58:25.280 --> 01:58:27.280] That guy needs to take the city to the Court of Claims [01:58:27.280 --> 01:58:30.280] They owe him for the houses that they tore down [01:58:30.280 --> 01:58:32.280] Court of Claims?
