[00:00.000 --> 00:10.580] The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission says the U.S.'s 104 licensed atomic power reactors [00:10.580 --> 00:17.100] are quote accidents in progress. The U.S. NRC also warned proposals to build a new generation [00:17.100 --> 00:23.340] of reactors were a recipe for bankruptcy. The report in response to Japanese-owned Westinghouse's [00:23.340 --> 00:29.060] building plans warned the containment design for the new reactors did not include a realistic [00:29.060 --> 00:36.200] analysis of their ability to withstand a direct hit by a jet aircraft. The head of Britain's [00:36.200 --> 00:41.840] armed forces, General Sir David Richards, says defeating Islamist militancy was quote [00:41.840 --> 00:46.440] unnecessary and would never be achieved. General Richards said the British military and the [00:46.440 --> 00:54.120] government had been guilty of not fully understanding what was at stake in Afghanistan. South Korea's [00:54.120 --> 00:58.960] Unification Ministry announced Monday the number of North Koreans defecting to the South [00:58.960 --> 01:05.400] as soared in the past few years. Approximately 10,000 have arrived since 2007. The border [01:05.400 --> 01:11.320] between the South and North is heavily fortified and almost all defectors travel via China [01:11.320 --> 01:18.240] where they risk repatriation because Beijing regards them as illegal immigrants. A Justice [01:18.240 --> 01:23.560] Department report obtained by the New York Times offers a detailed account of the CIA's [01:23.560 --> 01:28.240] efforts to protect Nazi war criminals in the U.S. and the role prominent members of the [01:28.240 --> 01:35.000] Nazi party played in the CIA's formative years. The Nazis were evacuated after World War II [01:35.000 --> 01:40.160] by the CIA through quote rat lines in Southern Europe allowing them to relocate in South [01:40.160 --> 01:45.840] America and in some cases the U.S. where they aided the agency during the Cold War. One [01:45.840 --> 01:52.200] such Nazi was Otto von Bolschweng who helped draw up plans for ridding Germany of Jews. [01:52.200 --> 01:57.500] Agency officials aware of his past debated whether to deny his Nazi affiliation or to [01:57.500 --> 02:06.080] quote explain it away on the basis of extenuating circumstances if von Bolschweng were outed. [02:06.080 --> 02:11.800] The 72 so called fusion centers in the U.S. designed to share data and head off terrorist [02:11.800 --> 02:17.800] attacks are worrying civil libertarians. The centers which have received 426 million dollars [02:17.800 --> 02:23.480] in federal funding since 2004 were designed as an early warning system against terrorist [02:23.480 --> 02:28.360] attacks but it turns out many of the centers have begun collecting and distributing criminal [02:28.360 --> 02:33.880] intelligence even of the most mundane kind. Civil liberties activists say the public is [02:33.880 --> 02:39.520] kept in the dark about what information they are gathering and what drives their priorities. [02:39.520 --> 02:45.200] Fusion centers don't conduct criminal investigations instead analysts who are borrowed from federal, [02:45.200 --> 02:50.460] state and local agencies dive into dozens of databases to develop threat assessments [02:50.460 --> 02:57.460] and make sense of emerging trends. [03:50.460 --> 03:57.460] Alright folks, that's it for today's video. I hope you enjoyed this video.

[05:20.460 --> 05:27.460] Have a great day. [05:50.460 --> 05:57.460] Thank you for watching. [06:20.960 --> 06:27.960] Well first off, on the citation, it told me that I was to meet before the honorable judge [06:28.460 --> 06:33.080] at a PO box on or before a certain date and I said well that's odd, I don't think he's [06:33.080 --> 06:39.600] going to be there but I sure will be. So just as a measure of good caution, I went out and [06:39.600 --> 06:44.520] took a little video recording of myself in front of the PO box, you know, looked at my [06:44.520 --> 06:47.880] cell phone for the date and time because I don't know if that's available at this point [06:47.880 --> 06:54.880] in time but I hadn't covered myself with that regard and then proceeded to find the actual [06:55.000 --> 07:00.640] address for the JP court which I'm not saying that that was necessary but I'm choosing to [07:00.640 --> 07:07.480] go about this in a way that's not extremely adversarial. I'm trying to gain the cooperation [07:07.480 --> 07:10.600] of the court throughout this and my goal is not actually to get out of the ticket, my [07:10.600 --> 07:16.880] goal is to have them follow due process. So I proceeded onto the JP court where I refused [07:16.880 --> 07:22.920] to plea and the court was very confused by this, it's a JP court and back with nowhere [07:22.920 --> 07:26.720] so she was very confused by this and tried to explain the charge to me and I said thank [07:26.720 --> 07:31.800] you but your explanation is sufficient, I cannot plea. So she wrote down on her little [07:31.800 --> 07:37.280] paper, refuses to plea Durand's hearing. So I said well that's good enough, it's not [07:37.280 --> 07:41.680] exactly what I said but okay then I can't plea to something that I don't understand [07:41.680 --> 07:48.680] because it hasn't been clarified to me. So I promptly filed some motions prior to receiving [07:49.480 --> 07:56.480] anything from the judge which were motions for nature and clarification of the cause [07:56.880 --> 08:01.920] and a motion for discovery with regard to any complaints, indictments or information [08:01.920 --> 08:08.920] and evidence in the possession of the prosecutor. Now I could have filed about ten more motions [08:08.920 --> 08:14.360] and these two were actually provided in the traffic seminar materials and there were about [08:14.360 --> 08:20.040] ten more in the traffic seminar materials that I could have filed prior to going in [08:20.040 --> 08:24.280] but I just wanted to start simple and not say okay I can't plea until you tell me what [08:24.280 --> 08:29.560] I'm accused of and I want to see everything that you have that you have yet to file in [08:29.560 --> 08:35.960] the court record. So the day before the court hearing, went in and checked the court record [08:35.960 --> 08:42.960] and sure enough there was nothing in it besides a copy of the citation and my motion that [08:45.880 --> 08:52.880] I had filed. So okay there's no surprises here. Went in to court the first day and basically [08:54.480 --> 08:59.480] it was me, the JP and the prosecutor, there's no bailiff, there's nobody, it's a very simple [08:59.480 --> 09:06.480] courtroom and everybody's all happy to lucky good old boy network. So I presented my motion [09:06.920 --> 09:13.920] to clarify nature and cause and the judge granted, first off the prosecutor claimed not [09:14.080 --> 09:19.400] to have received it. Of course I sent it certified mail so I pulled out the certified mail receipt [09:19.400 --> 09:25.900] and both said oh well that was Carol, Carol's crazy or something or other, whatever they [09:25.900 --> 09:32.480] said, she must not have given it to me. Well that's baloney but okay. So I presented my [09:32.480 --> 09:37.160] motion then there on motion to clarify the nature and cause of the accusation against [09:37.160 --> 09:43.520] me and prosecutor read it, prosecutor had no difficulties or problems with it and the [09:43.520 --> 09:48.360] judge granted the motion. They then proceeded to tell me that the citation was sufficient [09:48.360 --> 09:54.080] to clarify the nature and cause of the charge against me. That is wholly insufficient to [09:54.080 --> 09:58.960] clarify the nature and cause of the charge against me because the motion you just granted [09:58.960 --> 10:03.240] states number one that it's in writing, number two that it's from the prosecutor, number [10:03.240 --> 10:10.240] three that it states these specific statutes that I am accused of violating. And he said, [10:11.000 --> 10:17.400] he rolled his eyes and said okay, okay and then very quickly regained his composure and [10:17.400 --> 10:21.520] went ahead and said all right well the prosecutor will send you that information, we'll go [10:21.520 --> 10:25.800] ahead and schedule another hearing. I said that would be great, thank you. I chose not [10:25.800 --> 10:30.600] to pursue my second motion that I had filed that the prosecutor had not received which [10:30.600 --> 10:37.600] was the motion for production of documents, indictments, information, complaints and evidence [10:39.480 --> 10:46.640] in the court record at that time. I went ahead and let it rest. So that was the end of that [10:46.640 --> 10:51.640] hearing. So most of the way towards the next hearing I got a letter from the prosecutor, [10:51.640 --> 10:55.960] from the judge that had three photocopied pages from the Texas Code of Transportation [10:55.960 --> 11:01.920] and another page scheduling another pre-trial hearing. I said well this is not a response [11:01.920 --> 11:06.640] to my motion, it may be an attempted response to my motion but it is not from the prosecutor, [11:06.640 --> 11:10.680] it is not signed, it does not specifically state a statute that I've been accused of [11:10.680 --> 11:17.600] violating, it states six and two haves statutes from the Code of Transportation. So I approached [11:17.600 --> 11:24.120] it as if it did not answer my motion but it was just a friendly gesture from the judge [11:24.120 --> 11:30.280] copying some pages out of the Code of Transportation and sending it my way. So I wrote him a nice [11:30.280 --> 11:36.720] little note back thanking him for those photocopied pages and included two motions that were a [11:36.720 --> 11:43.480] motion to compel the response to the nature and cause motion, basically restating the [11:43.480 --> 11:49.760] fact that I did not accept the court's response and a motion to compel the response to the [11:49.760 --> 11:55.080] production of indictments, information, complaints and evidence in the possession of a prosecutor [11:55.080 --> 12:02.080] since that motion had yet to be responded to. Went into court for that hearing and presented [12:02.080 --> 12:08.320] my motion to compel the nature and cause. The judge granted my motion to compel the [12:08.320 --> 12:13.960] nature and cause from the prosecutor. So now I have a granting of a motion for nature and [12:13.960 --> 12:20.960] cause and I have a granting for a motion to compel the nature and cause. Then I presented [12:21.120 --> 12:26.000] the motion to compel the production of documents and he said wait I don't remember granting [12:26.000 --> 12:29.560] this, let's go back to the original. Truth is he did not grant the original because I [12:29.560 --> 12:36.560] never presented it. So I went ahead and presented the original and interestingly enough he said [12:38.600 --> 12:43.520] well there's nothing in this court record except for the copy of the citation of your [12:43.520 --> 12:47.920] motion and I said your honor I'm aware of what's in the court record but just for the [12:47.920 --> 12:52.920] record you're stating, of course I'm not in the court of record but I'm practicing, [12:52.920 --> 12:58.160] I said you're stating there's no complaint in the court record. He said well the citation [12:58.160 --> 13:02.680] is a complaint and said your honor in the state of Texas the citation is wholly insufficient [13:02.680 --> 13:09.400] to stand as a complaint. Then he gave me this strange look and lo and behold the prosecutor [13:09.400 --> 13:16.400] of all people looks up and says your honor he's right, it's not sworn to. So the little [13:17.360 --> 13:22.120] tidbit with that story is if you go in and you don't go in with an adversarial, even [13:22.120 --> 13:26.320] though it's an adversarial situation and you have to protect yourself at all times, [13:26.320 --> 13:30.560] but I went in with a non-adversarial kind of a I'm going to smile and chuckle with [13:30.560 --> 13:35.480] them and be one of the good old boys with them then you might even get a little help [13:35.480 --> 13:41.640] from the other side of the aisle even if you don't think it's coming. So sure enough he [13:41.640 --> 13:47.080] granted the motion to compel the discovery not the motion to, I'm sorry he granted the [13:47.080 --> 13:51.600] motion for discovery, he did not grant the motion to compel because he had not previously [13:51.600 --> 13:58.600] granted the motion for discovery. So basically then as I'm leaving the courtroom he said [13:58.800 --> 14:03.880] no wait a minute you have yet to plea right and I said no I can't plea till nature and [14:03.880 --> 14:07.880] cause of the crime has been clarified and in the middle of my stating that he said no [14:07.880 --> 14:14.880] no no no I understand. Whereas there was a gentleman in opposition to that there was [14:15.240 --> 14:20.080] a gentleman two cases in front of me that I heard in there making a case and he had [14:20.080 --> 14:24.720] a very constitutional argument and he was better spoken than me he was better prepared [14:24.720 --> 14:29.880] than me. Yet he and the judge practically got in a fist fight over all of this stuff [14:29.880 --> 14:35.000] there was yelling back and forth it was a completely adversarial situation it was the [14:35.000 --> 14:40.280] judge was not going to let him get away with anything or even present anything because [14:40.280 --> 14:45.160] he was trying to remove his case and change venue to the Supreme Court and do some things [14:45.160 --> 14:49.320] like this and I'm not saying that that wasn't all legitimate and lawful action I'm saying [14:49.320 --> 14:54.640] it's so far out of the realm of what we do today that the judge is just going to put [14:54.640 --> 15:00.320] a stop to it and not allow anything to continue even if he has to break the rules to do it [15:00.320 --> 15:04.360] it's going to end up in a trial of a no vote it's going to go to the next level. But my [15:04.360 --> 15:09.200] point being when I said no I can't plea because I don't understand the charge of custody the [15:09.200 --> 15:14.960] judge accepted it when this gentleman said no I can't plea because something the judge [15:14.960 --> 15:19.400] said that's it I'm going to plea for you and he hands down his gavel and is yelling at [15:19.400 --> 15:23.800] him and it's all getting out of control in the court. So there's multiple ways to approach [15:23.800 --> 15:33.520] this and I am now in my first week after my last hearing and I have heard nothing from [15:33.520 --> 15:39.800] the prosecutor which includes I'm supposed to receive production of all complaints indictments [15:39.800 --> 15:45.360] information from the prosecutor and I have heard nothing from the prosecutor with regard [15:45.360 --> 15:50.520] to the nature and cause of the charge against me and I'm just in a holding pattern until [15:50.520 --> 15:57.640] I hear that. I haven't heard anything about month I'm going to file a few more motions [15:57.640 --> 16:02.040] probably one for sanctions against prosecution for not responding to prior motions of the [16:02.040 --> 16:07.080] order of the court and I'm probably going to file one for motion to dismiss for lack [16:07.080 --> 16:13.280] of complaint motion to dismiss for lack of information and go ahead and go in and present [16:13.280 --> 16:19.840] them in the most adversarial motion first so that they can see that thing no that's [16:19.840 --> 16:25.400] but then go ahead and get to the next one and say you know what he's had every chance [16:25.400 --> 16:30.160] to respond this guy was not just trying to get out of this he had this motion prepared [16:30.160 --> 16:33.520] and I did have the motion to dismiss straight from the traffic court.

[20:42.960 --> 20:49.960] The lesson on court procedure, and basically it's going to be entitled, [20:49.960 --> 20:52.960] Things the Courts Do Illegally and How to Combat Them. [20:52.960 --> 20:54.960] That's basically what we're going to be talking about. [20:54.960 --> 21:00.960] We're going to be going through some of the Code of Criminal Procedure to show exactly what the rules are [21:00.960 --> 21:07.960] and exactly how these individuals violate them and how we're going to use that to hold them accountable. [21:07.960 --> 21:10.960] We're also going to be going into court procedure in general. [21:10.960 --> 21:16.960] We're going to be talking about how to cross-examine what's a leading question, what's not a leading question, [21:16.960 --> 21:22.960] how to recognize and object when the other party is introducing leading questions to their own witnesses, [21:22.960 --> 21:24.960] which is not allowed. [21:24.960 --> 21:30.960] Basically try to get you some of the same information and experience you would have to find out the hard way [21:30.960 --> 21:32.960] if you ever go to court. [21:32.960 --> 21:35.960] Now with that being said, let's get back to Aaron, [21:35.960 --> 21:41.960] who's going to complete the information he was giving us about what's going on with this case. [21:41.960 --> 21:43.960] Well, I was just wrapping up. [21:43.960 --> 21:48.960] Basically I've heard nothing in response from the prosecutor, [21:48.960 --> 21:54.960] and this is on either motion that's been granted and even the motion to compel the original motion. [21:54.960 --> 21:56.960] So I haven't sent in any form of plea. [21:56.960 --> 22:04.960] I do not intend to send in any form of plea until at minimum the charges against me have been clarified. [22:04.960 --> 22:08.960] And I've stuck to my guns, but I've done it very respectfully. [22:08.960 --> 22:13.960] And with that regard, I have a good rapport in the court. [22:13.960 --> 22:18.960] Even whenever the judge walked out of the room to photocopy some orders, [22:18.960 --> 22:27.960] the prosecutor and I were sitting there jiggering, jabbering back and forth about the different cases of the day, [22:27.960 --> 22:29.960] which is probably wholly inappropriate, [22:29.960 --> 22:36.960] but he's talking to me about the various things that are going on in the court because we have a rapport. [22:36.960 --> 22:41.960] And so I've been able to establish that, and I hope to leverage that as I go forward. [22:41.960 --> 22:45.960] It's going to give a little more credence to some of the things that I filed that say, [22:45.960 --> 22:51.960] hey, you know, he has had every response, every opportunity, Your Honor, to respond to this. [22:51.960 --> 22:57.960] I have given the motion for it, and first off, he was supposed to have it without ever me doing anything. [22:57.960 --> 23:00.960] Second off, I put in a motion to do it, and he said he lost nothing else. [23:00.960 --> 23:04.960] Third off, I put in a motion in court to do it, and you grant it. [23:04.960 --> 23:10.960] Fourth off, I put in a motion to compel in court, and you granted it, and he has yet to say anything. [23:10.960 --> 23:18.960] At this point, there's absolutely nothing that I can do to compel the prosecutor to go ahead and respond to these things. [23:18.960 --> 23:20.960] This case needs to be dropped. [23:20.960 --> 23:25.960] It's a shame that it has to be dropped from your perspective, from the prosecutor's perspective, [23:25.960 --> 23:33.960] that occasionally a case has to be dropped because of lack of due diligence on the part of the prosecutor. [23:33.960 --> 23:40.960] Well, the proper terminology there is, Aaron, is the case needs to be dismissed for failure to prosecute. [23:40.960 --> 23:46.960] And occasionally that has to happen in order to keep the prosecutor prosecuting. [23:46.960 --> 23:48.960] Right. [23:48.960 --> 23:49.960] So that's really it. [23:49.960 --> 23:53.960] I'm very pleased with the position that I'm in right now because I haven't been unreasonable. [23:53.960 --> 23:55.960] I do have a good rapport with the court, [23:55.960 --> 24:00.960] and the prosecutor can't even get his ducks in a row enough to respond to a single thing that I've sent out. [24:00.960 --> 24:01.960] Right. [24:01.960 --> 24:06.960] Now, Eddie, you were saying on the break you wanted to make a comment concerning the timeframe [24:06.960 --> 24:11.960] and the timeline of when Aaron should be filing his next set of motions. [24:11.960 --> 24:15.960] Yeah, there's actually several things in what he's brought up so far that I want to get through here real quick. [24:15.960 --> 24:20.960] Now, let's begin first with the first thing he brought up about knowing the nature and cause against him. [24:20.960 --> 24:23.960] Folks, it's written right into the Texas Constitution and the Bill of Rights [24:23.960 --> 24:27.960] that you have the right to know the nature and cause and to have a copy thereof. [24:27.960 --> 24:33.960] It is written right into Article 1.05 Code of Criminal Procedure under rights of the accused. [24:33.960 --> 24:39.960] In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall have a speedy public trial by an impartial jury. [24:39.960 --> 24:45.960] He shall have the right to demand the nature and cause of the accusation against him. [24:45.960 --> 24:47.960] These are rights, folks. [24:47.960 --> 24:48.960] Okay? [24:48.960 --> 24:51.960] They're not just arbitrary arguments or a way to delay the trial. [24:51.960 --> 24:54.960] These are your due process rights. [24:54.960 --> 25:01.960] And any of them that you don't voice and demand will be walked right over the top of. [25:01.960 --> 25:06.960] And if you've ever been to these courts, you know exactly what I'm talking about. [25:06.960 --> 25:09.960] So you have to stand upon your rights and you have to voice them. [25:09.960 --> 25:11.960] I'm sorry, Judge, you can't do that. [25:11.960 --> 25:13.960] Okay? [25:13.960 --> 25:16.960] This article says I have the right to this information. [25:16.960 --> 25:19.960] The Constitution says I have the right to this information. [25:19.960 --> 25:26.960] Where does the court get off proceeding without providing me my due process right? [25:26.960 --> 25:28.960] And you have to stick to that. [25:28.960 --> 25:33.960] You don't have to be ugly about it, but you need to stand upon it and address it. [25:33.960 --> 25:36.960] Now, here's the other issue that he brought up, [25:36.960 --> 25:42.960] that the citation is the only document that's against him in the court record. [25:42.960 --> 25:44.960] Well, there's a problem with this. [25:44.960 --> 25:49.960] First thing is that there must be a signed and verified complaint made out by some party. [25:49.960 --> 25:55.960] The citation meets none of the criteria of a complaint under Texas law. [25:55.960 --> 25:58.960] The citation meets none of the criteria under Chapter 15, [25:58.960 --> 26:05.960] and it doesn't meet any of the criteria under 45.019 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. [26:05.960 --> 26:06.960] It's not sworn to. [26:06.960 --> 26:11.960] It doesn't have the statement on it that's required, so on and so forth. [26:11.960 --> 26:14.960] It's not signed under oath by the officer. [26:14.960 --> 26:17.960] Even if it had every bit of the statement that there is, [26:17.960 --> 26:22.960] the officer signed it on the side of the road all by himself. [26:22.960 --> 26:29.960] And I'm quite sure the accused is not capable or willing to administer the oath to make it verified. [26:29.960 --> 26:33.960] So right off the bat, the complaint does not suffice [26:33.960 --> 26:38.960] or the citation does not suffice as a complaint any way, shape, or form. [26:38.960 --> 26:43.960] The other problem they have to overcome, especially this is a justice court, isn't it, Aaron? [26:43.960 --> 26:48.960] Or is this municipal? [26:48.960 --> 26:49.960] Aaron? [26:49.960 --> 26:50.960] This is the J.P. court. [26:50.960 --> 26:51.960] J.P. court. [26:51.960 --> 26:54.960] 2.05 Code of Criminal Procedure. [26:54.960 --> 26:59.960] It specifically states that in any county having one or more criminal district courts, [26:59.960 --> 27:04.960] an information must be filed in all misdemeanor cases. [27:04.960 --> 27:07.960] Well, there's no information filed either. [27:07.960 --> 27:12.960] That is the only document they have that can grant jurisdiction to the court to proceed. [27:12.960 --> 27:18.960] It's written right into Article 5, Section 12, Baker of the Texas Constitution. [27:18.960 --> 27:21.960] It's written right into the Code of Criminal Procedure. [27:21.960 --> 27:28.960] In fact, not only is it in 2.05, it's in 27.01, indictment or information. [27:28.960 --> 27:35.960] The primary pleading in a criminal action on the part of the state is the indictment or information. [27:35.960 --> 27:40.960] If those documents don't exist, the court lacks jurisdiction. [27:40.960 --> 27:43.960] There is no prosecution. [27:43.960 --> 27:49.960] The whole thing is a sham, and they will play it to the hilt if you let them. [27:49.960 --> 27:50.960] Okay? [27:50.960 --> 27:52.960] Don't let them. [27:52.960 --> 27:59.960] That's what we're all about here, teaching you what they're supposed to be doing and showing you where they aren't doing it. [27:59.960 --> 28:05.960] Now, Aaron was talking about if he doesn't hear from the prosecutor within the next few days or weeks, [28:05.960 --> 28:09.960] he's going to go ahead and file a motion to do something. [28:09.960 --> 28:13.960] I highly recommend you do not do this, and here's why. [28:13.960 --> 28:19.960] The one thing that you haven't mentioned, whether you did or not, and not having seen the paperwork, [28:19.960 --> 28:22.960] I'm going to assume for the moment that you didn't. [28:22.960 --> 28:29.960] Whenever you file a motion to produce or compel, you always put in a deadline date. [28:29.960 --> 28:37.960] This production must be done on or before 10 days from the date of the signed order or by this date of the month. [28:37.960 --> 28:38.960] Okay? [28:38.960 --> 28:40.960] Or so on and so forth. [28:40.960 --> 28:49.960] Without a deadline date, you can't hold the prosecutor in contempt of the order because he has no specified timeframe. [28:49.960 --> 29:00.960] However, once you've been given notice of another scheduled trial date and you get within 10 days of that trial date [29:00.960 --> 29:08.960] and he has not responded, now he's got a problem because you are required and allowed by law [29:08.960 --> 29:16.960] to have all responses in your possession no later than 10 days prior to any trial. [29:16.960 --> 29:23.960] You have to have any responses so that you know what to formulate your next position on when you go to trial. [29:23.960 --> 29:30.960] And in every case and instance I've seen in the code, that limit is 10 days. [29:30.960 --> 29:37.960] So if he has not replied with the proper information within that 10 days of going to trial, [29:37.960 --> 29:40.960] we need to call him on it then and there. [29:40.960 --> 29:42.960] Now you can go after him. [29:42.960 --> 29:44.960] All right, we have another break coming up. [29:44.960 --> 29:51.960] This is Eddie Craig, Deborah Stevens, Rule of Law Radio, 512-646-1984 if you want to call in. [29:51.960 --> 29:52.960] Please give us a call. [29:52.960 --> 29:56.960] We're taking questions tonight so come on in and call in. [29:56.960 --> 29:59.960] We'll be right back. [29:59.960 --> 30:03.960] Top 10 reasons to question the official story of the Oklahoma City bombing, reason number five. [30:03.960 --> 30:09.960] As witnessed by millions of viewers, the rescue efforts were interrupted several times due to the presence of other explosives. [30:09.960 --> 30:14.960] Government log entries indicate and witnesses report that after the initial devastating blast, [30:14.960 --> 30:18.960] a bomb complete with timer was discovered and removed from wreckage by the bomb squad. [30:18.960 --> 30:22.960] Yet we are told it's all due to baseless bomb scares or other contrivances. [30:22.960 --> 30:28.960] So while officials try to sort out their stories, all we ask is who planted these bombs and why is the government lying about them? [30:28.960 --> 30:32.960] For more information, go to okcbombingtruth.com. [30:32.960 --> 30:35.960] You've heard of hairspray, but how about DNA spray? [30:35.960 --> 30:39.960] It's a high-tech way to catch robbers, but down the road it could be abused. [30:39.960 --> 30:45.960] I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht and I'll be back in a moment with what you need to know about aerosol microdots. [30:45.960 --> 30:47.960] Privacy is under attack. [30:47.960 --> 30:50.960] When you give up data about yourself, you'll never get it back again. [30:50.960 --> 30:55.960] And once your privacy is gone, you'll find your freedoms will start to vanish too. [30:55.960 --> 30:57.960] So protect your rights. [30:57.960 --> 31:00.960] Say no to surveillance and keep your information to yourself. [31:00.960 --> 31:03.960] Privacy, it's worth hanging on to. [31:03.960 --> 31:10.960] This public service announcement is brought to you by Startpage.com, the private search engine alternative to Google, Yahoo, and Bing. [31:10.960 --> 31:14.960] Start over with Startpage. [31:14.960 --> 31:22.960] Exploding ink can cover thieves in a profusion of purple, but nowadays they need to look out for spray-on polka dots the size of pinheads too. [31:22.960 --> 31:27.960] The SelectiMark security system uses DNA spray on robbers as they make a getaway. [31:27.960 --> 31:35.960] The coating glows under ultraviolet light for weeks and police can identify the crime scene because the spray contains unique microdots. [31:35.960 --> 31:40.960] While it's currently used to nab criminals, the spray could be turned to other purposes. [31:40.960 --> 31:45.960] Imagine attending a political rally and later glowing under ultraviolet light at the airport. [31:45.960 --> 31:48.960] It could give a whole new meaning to the no-fly list. [31:48.960 --> 31:51.960] Maybe we should all be wary of DNA spray. [31:51.960 --> 31:57.960] I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht. More news and information at CatherineAlbrecht.com. [32:21.960 --> 32:26.960] This person's a race for Mr. Bush. [32:26.960 --> 32:31.960] This person's a race for Dick Cheney. [32:31.960 --> 32:34.960] Well, I need a prosecutor to come and help me. [32:34.960 --> 32:36.960] Prosecute them wicked leaders, you see. [32:36.960 --> 32:39.960] They're all liars, they tell me. [32:39.960 --> 32:41.960] They're all liars, they tell me stories. [32:41.960 --> 32:43.960] I don't believe what they tell me. [32:43.960 --> 32:46.960] 3% of Americans vote for Bush. [32:46.960 --> 32:49.960] So how the hell do you get the presidency? [32:49.960 --> 32:52.960] That's why we have a warrant for him. [32:52.960 --> 32:54.960] Everybody listen carefully. [32:54.960 --> 32:56.960] Listen to the words that the fish use for sea. [32:56.960 --> 33:00.960] This person's a race for Mr. Bush. [33:00.960 --> 33:05.960] This person's a warrant for Dick Cheney. [33:05.960 --> 33:10.960] This person's a race for Mr. Bush. [33:10.960 --> 33:15.960] This person's a warrant for Dick Cheney. [33:15.960 --> 33:22.960] This person's a warrant for Dick Cheney. [33:22.960 --> 33:23.960] All right, folks. [33:23.960 --> 33:24.960] We are back. [33:24.960 --> 33:25.960] Rule of Law Radio. [33:25.960 --> 33:29.960] Okay, Aaron, let's go on with the information we've got going here with you. [33:29.960 --> 33:32.960] Now, on the break, there were a couple things we were discussing. [33:32.960 --> 33:39.960] Would you please go ahead with the question or the information that we were talking about that you want to get on the air? [33:39.960 --> 33:43.960] Well, basically, my question at this point in time, I'm processing it a little bit. [33:43.960 --> 33:47.960] My goal here is, and this has been throughout the entire thing, [33:47.960 --> 33:51.960] is not going to get away with this crime of which I'm accused, [33:51.960 --> 33:54.960] although it hasn't been clarified what it actually is. [33:54.960 --> 33:55.960] My goal is not to get away with a crime. [33:55.960 --> 33:57.960] My goal is not to just get it dismissed. [33:57.960 --> 34:05.960] My goal is to have due process executed and practiced so that it's in place if I'm ever accused of something more significant. [34:05.960 --> 34:12.960] And I think it's because I've approached it with that regard that I do have a rapport with the court. [34:12.960 --> 34:21.960] But in that spirit of things, if I go to a trial on the merits and I lose that trial and it was a fair trial [34:21.960 --> 34:28.960] and it was a just trial and I actually am accused and guilty of committing a crime, that's okay with me. [34:28.960 --> 34:30.960] I don't care about $175. [34:30.960 --> 34:33.960] I'll probably pay the appeal bond and move on. [34:33.960 --> 34:38.960] But regardless, it doesn't matter to me that much if I'm actually found guilty of the crime. [34:38.960 --> 34:41.960] I'm more concerned about the due process issues involved. [34:41.960 --> 34:50.960] So what is my best route to get the prosecutor to file a complaint and the prosecutor to file an information [34:50.960 --> 34:58.960] and for us to go through all these procedures so that they practice due process so that I get due process? [34:58.960 --> 35:01.960] Well, this is the only problem I see with your question. [35:01.960 --> 35:08.960] That question is similar to asking how do I catch a bucket of water off of a waterfall. [35:08.960 --> 35:11.960] I mean, you can stick the bucket under the waterfall anywhere. [35:11.960 --> 35:16.960] What you can't guarantee is what's coming down with the water. [35:16.960 --> 35:22.960] So what you're saying here about wanting to get due process is perfectly understandable. [35:22.960 --> 35:26.960] How you control the court to get it, that's a whole other matter. [35:26.960 --> 35:32.960] It all depends entirely upon whether or not the judge's intent on following the law. [35:32.960 --> 35:34.960] That's always what it boils down to. [35:34.960 --> 35:37.960] How well does the judge know the law? [35:37.960 --> 35:41.960] How willing is the judge to uphold the law and to apply the law? [35:41.960 --> 35:44.960] That's always the problem. [35:44.960 --> 35:52.960] And there is no set way to introduce it to any given judge to make them see your point of view. [35:52.960 --> 35:57.960] They're either going to be open-minded and accept the fact that there's something they didn't know [35:57.960 --> 36:05.960] and didn't understand that they should have, or they're going to look at it as [36:05.960 --> 36:09.960] so he's proven that I've been doing something wrong, [36:09.960 --> 36:15.960] now I've got to cover my backside by not letting him make me look that way in open court. [36:15.960 --> 36:16.960] So I've got two options. [36:16.960 --> 36:22.960] I can dismiss and get him out of my hair or demand that the prosecutor dismiss and get him out of my hair, [36:22.960 --> 36:26.960] or I'm going to have to stomp on him to shut him up. [36:26.960 --> 36:31.960] Guess which one they choose the most often. [36:31.960 --> 36:34.960] And there's good reason for that from their point of view. [36:34.960 --> 36:40.960] You are a speed bump in the revenue generation chain. [36:40.960 --> 36:47.960] When they have to contend with people like you, it slows down their wheels of money-making. [36:47.960 --> 36:54.960] And considering that this is getting to be the major source of revenue for a lot of counties and a lot of cities, [36:54.960 --> 36:57.960] they don't take that well. [36:57.960 --> 37:00.960] Even if there's an honest judge sitting on the bench, [37:00.960 --> 37:07.960] he's being pressured to either get you out of the way so that they can go back to business as usual [37:07.960 --> 37:11.960] or to shut you up so that you don't disrupt business as usual. [37:11.960 --> 37:15.960] You're really between a rock and a hard place in a lot of ways. [37:15.960 --> 37:20.960] So I don't have a pat answer for you as to what the next best step will be. [37:20.960 --> 37:24.960] If you've established a rapport, you've maintained good terms, [37:24.960 --> 37:31.960] then by all means continue to do what needs to be done to maintain that without sacrificing your rights in the process. [37:31.960 --> 37:38.960] But that goes back to the next best thing you can do to ensure that happens when you're not in a court of record, [37:38.960 --> 37:40.960] which you're not, correct? [37:40.960 --> 37:41.960] That's correct. [37:41.960 --> 37:42.960] Okay. [37:42.960 --> 37:47.960] Is to make sure that you make a record by doing everything in writing. [37:47.960 --> 37:53.960] As long as you do it in writing, it cannot be denied that it was before the court. [37:53.960 --> 38:04.960] The court has no way to say, I was not aware, because you made every effort to make them aware. [38:04.960 --> 38:07.960] And that's really the only way we're going to be able to do this, [38:07.960 --> 38:12.960] is to build a record that they refuse to build because it's incriminating against them. [38:12.960 --> 38:16.960] So we're going to have to do it for them. [38:16.960 --> 38:17.960] All right. [38:17.960 --> 38:20.960] That's pretty much what I intend to do with my case. [38:20.960 --> 38:28.960] I am working really hard on the paperwork so that I can get in my car and have a lawsuit filed by Christmas. [38:28.960 --> 38:35.960] Now, Eddie, Aaron can still file a motion to dismiss at any point in time based on the fact that there's no information, no complaint. [38:35.960 --> 38:36.960] That's correct. [38:36.960 --> 38:46.960] He just can't ask for sanctions or file any motions regarding the prosecutor being in contempt of this order because there is no date on the order. [38:46.960 --> 38:51.960] However, there is a problem with doing that. [38:51.960 --> 38:58.960] If he does that, remember, they've got two ways to come at you for a period of time. [38:58.960 --> 39:07.960] Until the prosecution announces ready for trial or the statute of limitations runs out, [39:07.960 --> 39:12.960] they can file that information at any time through the course of the prosecution, [39:12.960 --> 39:16.960] as long as they have not gone to a trial on the merits. [39:16.960 --> 39:30.960] The problem is that the judge is holding hearings on motions that are not motions to dismiss when he hasn't any jurisdiction. [39:30.960 --> 39:34.960] So the judge is already in a catch-22 here. [39:34.960 --> 39:45.960] He is hearing motions that are not motions to dismiss when he has no jurisdiction to be hearing anything other than a motion to dismiss [39:45.960 --> 39:51.960] because there's no information filed in the court. [39:51.960 --> 39:54.960] So Aaron's got to win here. [39:54.960 --> 39:58.960] Just on due process alone, Aaron's already got to win. [39:58.960 --> 40:01.960] He just has to enforce it. [40:01.960 --> 40:09.960] And the best way to do that is to make them keep stepping deeper into the quicksand, Aaron. [40:09.960 --> 40:14.960] And by doing the written record as you're doing, by filing your motions, [40:14.960 --> 40:21.960] when you take it to appeal, you can move for sanctions against the lower court judge [40:21.960 --> 40:28.960] because he acted entirely without jurisdiction through the entire procedure. [40:28.960 --> 40:31.960] Now I have one question with regard to this, Eddie. [40:31.960 --> 40:39.960] Is a court or a judge directed to investigate jurisdiction or lack of jurisdiction [40:39.960 --> 40:44.960] when no motion challenging jurisdiction has been filed? [40:44.960 --> 40:54.960] The court, at some point, the court must establish it has proper jurisdiction of both the person and the subject matter. [40:54.960 --> 41:03.960] The fact that it does not get challenged directly as far as subject matter goes does not vest the court with jurisdiction. [41:03.960 --> 41:14.960] If the judge obeyed the law and knew the law, he would know the information was mandatory for him to have jurisdiction, would he not? [41:14.960 --> 41:25.960] So what you're stating is that whenever he opened up my file on the bench, the very first hearing that I was in front of him, [41:25.960 --> 41:35.960] he should have looked, discovered there was no indictment and no information, and he should have said this court lacks jurisdiction to continue. [41:35.960 --> 41:36.960] That's correct. [41:36.960 --> 41:41.960] He should have noticed there were three things that should have been in that folder and weren't. [41:41.960 --> 41:49.960] The citation, the signed and verified complaint, and the signed information by the prosecuting attorney for the state. [41:49.960 --> 41:57.960] Those three things were absolutely mandatory for him to achieve jurisdiction at all. [41:57.960 --> 42:01.960] And he should have established that they were missing. [42:01.960 --> 42:04.960] That's part of the court record that he's required to review. [42:04.960 --> 42:08.960] If the record's incomplete, the judge is required to know that. [42:08.960 --> 42:14.960] He doesn't need argument or presentation from either party to establish, wait a minute, [42:14.960 --> 42:25.960] you're telling me you want to prosecute somebody in my court when you have given me nothing to establish my jurisdiction to do that? [42:25.960 --> 42:28.960] See, this is the difference in a civil and a criminal. [42:28.960 --> 42:34.960] In the criminal, the prosecutor is required to establish the court has proper jurisdiction. [42:34.960 --> 42:39.960] He does that by the filing of an indictment or information. [42:39.960 --> 42:43.960] That was not done. [42:43.960 --> 42:53.960] In the civil, the moving party has to show why the court has jurisdiction to hear the cause, and they do it in their pleadings. [42:53.960 --> 43:05.960] Well, 27.01, the primary pleading of the attorney for the state in any criminal case is an indictment or information. [43:05.960 --> 43:10.960] The primary pleading is what sets forth the jurisdiction of the court, [43:10.960 --> 43:17.960] whether it be civil as the original complaint or it be the criminal as the indictment or information. [43:17.960 --> 43:20.960] Okay, then I have one more question. [43:20.960 --> 43:25.960] What is the judge guilty of by not verifying that the court record is complete [43:25.960 --> 43:32.960] and hearing motions other than motions to dismiss or even continuing it at all? [43:32.960 --> 43:36.960] He's got three charges against him immediately, but we're about to take a break. [43:36.960 --> 43:38.960] I'll cover those on the other side. [43:38.960 --> 43:41.960] This is Eddie Craig, Deborah Stevens, Rule of Law Radio. [43:41.960 --> 43:43.960] It is traffic time. [43:43.960 --> 43:59.960] Give us a call, 512-646-1984. We will be right back.

[46:00.960 --> 46:18.960] If you did not have any problems, were you going to look for one? [46:18.960 --> 46:24.960] If you could not wait any longer, would your purpose have to be done? [46:24.960 --> 46:33.960] All right, folks, we are back. [46:33.960 --> 46:35.960] Rule of Law Radio. [46:35.960 --> 46:37.960] Jim and Stephen, we see you on the call board. [46:37.960 --> 46:40.960] So if you'll hang in there just a couple more minutes, we'll be getting right with you. [46:40.960 --> 46:42.960] We just need to finish up with Aaron. [46:42.960 --> 46:48.960] On the way to break, Aaron asked a question of what exactly are the charges that the judge could have [46:48.960 --> 46:50.960] pending against him at this point. [46:50.960 --> 46:58.960] Right off the bat, you've got abuse of official capacity 39.02 penal code and 39.03 official oppression. [46:58.960 --> 47:04.960] You also have misconduct in office, and if you really want to get heavy-handed, [47:04.960 --> 47:08.960] he's impersonating a public servant at this point. [47:08.960 --> 47:13.960] When he acts without official authority, he is not acting in an official capacity. [47:13.960 --> 47:17.960] He is impersonating someone with an official capacity. [47:17.960 --> 47:22.960] That could get really nasty, really fast for him. [47:22.960 --> 47:27.960] But those are the things that you could have hanging over his head. [47:27.960 --> 47:30.960] Okay. [47:30.960 --> 47:33.960] Well, Eddie and Deborah, I thank you so much for your time tonight [47:33.960 --> 47:38.960] and the opportunity to share and get feedback as to what's been going on. [47:38.960 --> 47:42.960] I just got to say that I could not have done it without the seminar materials. [47:42.960 --> 47:47.960] They really showed me the way, and it was far more than I have used [47:47.960 --> 47:53.960] and far more than I probably will ever use with regard to the number of motions [47:53.960 --> 47:56.960] and the kind of motions that were provided. [47:56.960 --> 48:04.960] And so the only thing that I can say that wasn't in there that I did end up filing was a motion for continuance, [48:04.960 --> 48:08.960] which is about as basic as you can possibly get, and a motion to compel, [48:08.960 --> 48:14.960] which is basically a rewrite with the word motion to compel in front of the other motion. [48:14.960 --> 48:19.960] So, you know, my work was minimal with all of this, [48:19.960 --> 48:23.960] and I just appreciate everything that you all have put together and everything you've done, [48:23.960 --> 48:26.960] and thank you for having me on tonight. [48:26.960 --> 48:27.960] Thank you, Aaron. [48:27.960 --> 48:28.960] Thanks. [48:28.960 --> 48:29.960] We're glad that it's of help. [48:29.960 --> 48:33.960] Glad that it looks like it's going to turn out to be a success. [48:33.960 --> 48:34.960] You know, I think so. [48:34.960 --> 48:35.960] Excellent. [48:35.960 --> 48:38.960] Okay, Aaron, we'll keep this posted. [48:38.960 --> 48:39.960] Sure thing. [48:39.960 --> 48:40.960] Good night, guys. [48:40.960 --> 48:41.960] All right, good night. [48:41.960 --> 48:42.960] Bye, Aaron. [48:42.960 --> 48:43.960] Okay. [48:43.960 --> 48:46.960] Now, once again, folks, tomorrow night from 6 to 9 down at Brave New Books, [48:46.960 --> 48:51.960] I will be giving a class on due process procedures, [48:51.960 --> 48:55.960] court procedures, and cross-examination and questioning. [48:55.960 --> 49:01.960] We will be going into some of the statutes specifically that are violated constantly [49:01.960 --> 49:07.960] and continuously by these officials in their courtrooms. [49:07.960 --> 49:11.960] We're going to go into exactly how they abuse your rights, [49:11.960 --> 49:17.960] how they walk roughshod over them at every opportunity because you don't know what they are. [49:17.960 --> 49:20.960] Well, we're going to go over them tomorrow night, so please be there. [49:20.960 --> 49:22.960] It's a $20 door charge. [49:22.960 --> 49:25.960] We're giving one tomorrow night from 6 to 9, [49:25.960 --> 49:29.960] and I'll be doing another one on the 27th from 3 to 6 in the afternoon. [49:29.960 --> 49:33.960] Again, each of these are a $20 door charge, three hours, [49:33.960 --> 49:35.960] but we're going to go into this in great detail. [49:35.960 --> 49:39.960] We're going to be practicing the procedure, giving examples, [49:39.960 --> 49:45.960] and basically going into discussion over this is why you do it this way, this way, or this way. [49:45.960 --> 49:46.960] Okay? [49:46.960 --> 49:49.960] That being said, let's get to our other two callers. [49:49.960 --> 49:51.960] Jim, we're going to take you first. [49:51.960 --> 49:52.960] Good evening, Jim. [49:52.960 --> 49:53.960] How are you doing? [49:53.960 --> 49:54.960] What can we do for you? [49:54.960 --> 49:55.960] I'm all right. [49:55.960 --> 49:56.960] Thank you, Mr. Craig. [49:56.960 --> 49:59.960] Good evening, Ms. Stevens. [49:59.960 --> 50:05.960] Well, when I started this, I had one question because I found a lot. [50:05.960 --> 50:09.960] I'm currently funding a student ticket. [50:09.960 --> 50:10.960] Hey, Jim. [50:10.960 --> 50:13.960] Jim, you're next to something that's causing a lot of static on your phone. [50:13.960 --> 50:16.960] Yeah, are you using a wireless handset? [50:16.960 --> 50:17.960] Yeah, I am. [50:17.960 --> 50:20.960] Okay, can you get closer to the transmitter, to the base? [50:20.960 --> 50:22.960] Yeah, I sure can, certainly. [50:22.960 --> 50:30.960] Anyway, moving along, when I started this, I had one question, [50:30.960 --> 50:44.960] and I have just entered some actually some requests for production of some evidentiary material in a case, [50:44.960 --> 50:51.960] and I found a law, and I wonder if you could clarify this. [50:51.960 --> 50:53.960] Hang on just a second. [50:53.960 --> 50:56.960] I just had it, and I lost it. [50:56.960 --> 50:59.960] I printed up the laws. [50:59.960 --> 51:01.960] Here we go. [51:01.960 --> 51:12.960] This is in Code of Criminal Procedure, Chapter 28, Motions and Pleadings. [51:12.960 --> 51:18.960] Hang on, Section 1, Article, let me just read it to you. [51:18.960 --> 51:21.960] You said it's in Chapter 28? [51:21.960 --> 51:25.960] Yeah, Chapter 28, Section 1. [51:25.960 --> 51:29.960] What's the whole article number, 28.1? [51:29.960 --> 51:37.960] 28.01, Section 2, when a criminal case is set for such pretrial hearing, [51:37.960 --> 51:45.960] any such preliminary matters not raised or filed seven days before the hearing will not thereafter be allowed to be raised or filed. [51:45.960 --> 51:53.960] Now, I didn't receive the charges against me on this until 5 o'clock Wednesday. [51:53.960 --> 51:59.960] The court date is now 1 o'clock this coming Wednesday. [51:59.960 --> 52:08.960] And the judge from the bench told me, and he got mad at me when I went through the arraignment, [52:08.960 --> 52:19.960] he got pretty angry with me because I had a motion for production of complaint there at the arraignment. [52:19.960 --> 52:25.960] I had a tape recorder that told me to turn off the tape or he wouldn't proceed, [52:25.960 --> 52:37.960] then told me, you know, kind of low, that pretty much he knew I was going to file a motion to dismiss because there was no complaint. [52:37.960 --> 52:43.960] He told me there was no complaint from the bench, told me he was still going to prosecute the case, [52:43.960 --> 52:49.960] told me that I could not file any more motions until the pretrial. [52:49.960 --> 52:59.960] The pretrial is now set for Wednesday, did not receive this until or any of the complaints filed against me by the officer. [52:59.960 --> 53:11.960] And then told me that, you know, of course I couldn't file anything until the pretrial, but now I find... [53:11.960 --> 53:20.960] Okay, when you say the pretrial, what was the first action that you appeared in when you appeared this first time when the judge told you all this? [53:20.960 --> 53:22.960] What was your reason for being in court? [53:22.960 --> 53:25.960] It was supposed to be the arraignment. [53:25.960 --> 53:30.960] Okay, this was your first initial appearance based upon the promise to appear on the citation? [53:30.960 --> 53:35.960] No, I actually did the appear and disappear and they reset it. [53:35.960 --> 53:40.960] But this was your first appearance in court based upon the citation? [53:40.960 --> 53:41.960] Yes. [53:41.960 --> 53:43.960] Okay. All right. [53:43.960 --> 53:47.960] Well, is that all you've got up to this point on your question? [53:47.960 --> 53:58.960] Well, yes, but it also states that I have to get everything in within 10 days. [53:58.960 --> 54:11.960] This particular law that I have to get everything in in 10 days, but they only have to give me notice in writing for 6 days. [54:11.960 --> 54:13.960] Well, that's not exactly what it says. [54:13.960 --> 54:16.960] I want to go ahead and read Section 2 in its entirety here. [54:16.960 --> 54:39.960] Okay. [54:39.960 --> 55:00.960] So regardless of when they actually notify you, if it's less than 10 days, this says they can't do it. [55:00.960 --> 55:09.960] You must have no less than 10 days notice in order to get your filings in before the 7 days kicks in. [55:09.960 --> 55:14.960] They can make it where you've only got 3 days to get your filings in, [55:14.960 --> 55:18.960] but they can't make it where you have less than 10 as an opportunity to do it. [55:18.960 --> 55:22.960] Got you. Got you. Got you. [55:22.960 --> 55:30.960] Okay. Okay. Now, because of what Aaron was saying now, I've got another question. [55:30.960 --> 55:33.960] Well, let me clarify one other point on this. [55:33.960 --> 55:34.960] Okay. [55:34.960 --> 55:42.960] What this is actually saying here is that they can't give you less than 17 days. [55:42.960 --> 55:44.960] Okay. [55:44.960 --> 55:49.960] Because this says that you can't file anything within 7 days of the trial, [55:49.960 --> 55:56.960] but right below that it says you have no less than 10 days in which to raise or file such preliminary matters. [55:56.960 --> 56:01.960] So you've got to have at least that entire 10-day period to make your filings. [56:01.960 --> 56:02.960] I got you. [56:02.960 --> 56:03.960] Okay. [56:03.960 --> 56:04.960] I got you. I got you. [56:04.960 --> 56:15.960] So the clock actually starts ticking when I get the actual charging documents and the court date in my hand. [56:15.960 --> 56:26.960] It does not start ticking before they send it to me and before I know when the trial is or when the free trial is. [56:26.960 --> 56:29.960] It doesn't specify when the clock starts in that regard. [56:29.960 --> 56:32.960] There's two possible conclusions from that. [56:32.960 --> 56:37.960] Does your time start ticking at the moment you receive the citation? [56:37.960 --> 56:39.960] Legally speaking, I would argue no. [56:39.960 --> 56:44.960] One, you have not been properly served of any information regarding the charges against you. [56:44.960 --> 56:48.960] Two, there is no valid complaint of any charges against you. [56:48.960 --> 56:54.960] Three, that complaint was not initiated by anybody within the court system. [56:54.960 --> 56:58.960] It's initiated by the agent who hasn't filed it. [56:58.960 --> 56:59.960] You see what I'm saying? [56:59.960 --> 57:02.960] There's no complaint because the court never went in and signed one. [57:02.960 --> 57:03.960] Okay. [57:03.960 --> 57:08.960] And you're entitled to have a copy of that complaint, period. [57:08.960 --> 57:20.960] Okay. Now, I have not filed this affidavit, but after court, okay, the first time during the arraignment. [57:20.960 --> 57:22.960] Affidavit for what, by the way? [57:22.960 --> 57:31.960] An affidavit stating what the judge told me from the bench, okay, because I tried to record it and he wouldn't let me record it [57:31.960 --> 57:37.960] because I wanted a record for it and I told him that and he still proceeded to tell me to turn off the tape. [57:37.960 --> 57:47.960] So I did so that he would proceed because he was kind of threatening me at the time, not with what he was saying, but his manner. [57:47.960 --> 57:52.960] You made the mistake of taking the tape recorder in your hand and asking about it, didn't you? [57:52.960 --> 57:54.960] No, I did not, actually. [57:54.960 --> 57:58.960] He looked down over the bench and thought. [57:58.960 --> 58:00.960] Where was it? [58:00.960 --> 58:10.960] I had it under some papers and I had set it up where he couldn't see it on the bench and there's kind of a shelf around the bench. [58:10.960 --> 58:15.960] And he looked up and said, what is that? [58:15.960 --> 58:18.960] And well, of course, I told him that. [58:18.960 --> 58:20.960] Okay, Jim, hang on just a second. [58:20.960 --> 58:22.960] We're about to go to break. [58:22.960 --> 58:26.960] All right, folks, this is Rule of Law Radio, Eddie Craig, Deborah Stevens.

[58:50.960 --> 58:59.960] So please hang in there. We'll be back on the other side. [58:59.960 --> 59:07.960] The Bible remains the most popular book in the world, yet countless readers are frustrated because they struggle to understand it. [59:07.960 --> 59:15.960] Some new translations try to help by simplifying the text, but in the process can compromise the profound meaning of the Scripture.

[01:00:03.960 --> 01:00:08.960] The death toll from Haiti's cholera outbreak soared to 917 Monday [01:00:08.960 --> 01:00:12.960] as health workers continued struggling to contain the epidemic. [01:00:12.960 --> 01:00:20.960] At least 14,600 people have been treated in makeshift hospitals and tiny clinics since the disease took hold. [01:00:20.960 --> 01:00:27.960] Amid the crisis, Haitians are due to vote for a new president and parliamentarians in late November. [01:00:27.960 --> 01:00:31.960] Myanmar's pro-democracy opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi [01:00:31.960 --> 01:00:36.960] delivered her first speech Sunday after being released from seven years house arrest. [01:00:36.960 --> 01:00:41.960] Suu Kyi told thousands of supporters, quote, I want to hear the voice of the people. [01:00:41.960 --> 01:00:44.960] After that, we will decide what we want to do. [01:00:44.960 --> 01:00:52.960] Signaling a shift in strategy, Suu Kyi said she is in favor of lifting international sanctions against Myanmar. [01:00:52.960 --> 01:00:58.960] As one in ten people in the US remain unemployed, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday [01:00:58.960 --> 01:01:02.960] the US's richest CEOs are making more money than ever. [01:01:02.960 --> 01:01:07.960] Annual bonuses have risen nearly 11% since 2008. [01:01:07.960 --> 01:01:13.960] Over the past 20 years, America's wealthiest 1% saw an 11% increase in their earnings, [01:01:13.960 --> 01:01:20.960] while the wealth of the remaining 99% rose just 1%. [01:01:20.960 --> 01:01:27.960] UK police have been urged to start a murder inquiry into the suspicious death of weapons inspector David Kelly [01:01:27.960 --> 01:01:30.960] following further allegations he did not commit suicide. [01:01:30.960 --> 01:01:34.960] Officers have been told Kelly could not have taken the overdose of painkillers [01:01:34.960 --> 01:01:38.960] that was officially found to be one of the causes of his death. [01:01:38.960 --> 01:01:44.960] Clinical pharmacologist Dr. Andrew Watt says he told Thames Valley police it was not possible [01:01:44.960 --> 01:01:49.960] Dr. Kelly could have swallowed more than a safe dose of two co-approximal tablets [01:01:49.960 --> 01:01:52.960] because there was so little of the drug in his system. [01:01:52.960 --> 01:01:58.960] Watt said, quote, I reported to the Thames force the death of Dr. Kelly may have been murder. [01:01:58.960 --> 01:02:02.960] A second development also casts doubt on the official suicide verdict. [01:02:02.960 --> 01:02:08.960] Kelly left an upbeat answering machine message to a friend who said Kelly's tone convinced him [01:02:08.960 --> 01:02:12.960] his friend could not have been suicidal. [01:02:12.960 --> 01:02:17.960] Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Saturday the US must reduce the visibility [01:02:17.960 --> 01:02:20.960] and intensity of its military operations in Afghanistan [01:02:20.960 --> 01:02:25.960] and end increased special operations like raids that aggravate Afghans [01:02:25.960 --> 01:02:28.960] and exacerbate the Taliban insurgency. [01:02:28.960 --> 01:02:33.960] Karzai said he wanted US troops off the roads and out of Afghan homes [01:02:33.960 --> 01:02:38.960] and that the long-term presence of so many foreign soldiers is only worsening the situation. [01:02:38.960 --> 01:02:43.960] Karzai's comments put him at odds with US Commander General David Petraeus [01:02:43.960 --> 01:02:59.960] who has made capture and kill missions a central component of his counterinsurgency strategy. [01:03:13.960 --> 01:03:26.960] It's all according to the will of the Almighty [01:03:26.960 --> 01:03:33.960] I read his book and it says he cares not for the unsightly [01:03:33.960 --> 01:03:42.960] These warmongers come by that term rightly [01:03:42.960 --> 01:03:45.960] I won't pay for the war with my fight [01:03:45.960 --> 01:03:48.960] Ain't gonna pay for the car with my money [01:03:48.960 --> 01:03:49.960] Alright, folks, we are back. [01:03:49.960 --> 01:03:50.960] Rule of Law Radio. [01:03:50.960 --> 01:03:53.960] This is Eddie Craig, Debra Stevens. [01:03:53.960 --> 01:03:57.960] Okay, we're gonna finish up with Jim, Stephen in Montana, and Stephen in Illinois. [01:03:57.960 --> 01:03:58.960] We do see you on the board. [01:03:58.960 --> 01:04:03.960] So if you gentlemen will hang on there for just a couple of minutes more, we'll be right with you. [01:04:03.960 --> 01:04:08.960] Alright, Jim, I believe we were talking about your affidavit before we went on break. [01:04:08.960 --> 01:04:15.960] Yeah, anyway, essentially, and I wrote it down word for word. [01:04:15.960 --> 01:04:19.960] It was still pretty fresh in my mind right after I got finished. [01:04:19.960 --> 01:04:23.960] Didn't embellish and not try and tattle on anybody and just state some facts. [01:04:23.960 --> 01:04:29.960] Anyway, you know, essentially from the bench, a guy tells me he's gonna railroad me. [01:04:29.960 --> 01:04:35.960] So I figured that and said it to my face in not so many words. [01:04:35.960 --> 01:04:41.960] But I figured that when the pretrial would come and go, [01:04:41.960 --> 01:04:47.960] and then I would receive the notice that the pretrial had already been over with, [01:04:47.960 --> 01:04:49.960] and that was what was going on. [01:04:49.960 --> 01:05:01.960] Well, that didn't happen, so of course I was able to enter some evidentiary notices and things like that. [01:05:01.960 --> 01:05:11.960] But on my say, and I haven't gotten the affidavit notarized yet because I haven't entered it, [01:05:11.960 --> 01:05:18.960] because I don't want to really make this guy angry even though he's already told me [01:05:18.960 --> 01:05:31.960] that he wouldn't accept any motions and or, you know, of course, evidence. [01:05:31.960 --> 01:05:38.960] He wouldn't accept anything from me, essentially, is what he was telling me. [01:05:38.960 --> 01:05:43.960] You know, so is there anything that I can do about that? [01:05:43.960 --> 01:05:45.960] Well, there's lots of things you can do. [01:05:45.960 --> 01:05:49.960] The first thing I'd do is ignoring and file anyway. [01:05:49.960 --> 01:05:55.960] Now, have you gone down and gotten the information out of your court record? [01:05:55.960 --> 01:05:58.960] Well, actually, they sent the charging document. [01:05:58.960 --> 01:06:00.960] That wasn't my question. [01:06:00.960 --> 01:06:04.960] Have you gone down and gotten everything that's in your court record? [01:06:04.960 --> 01:06:05.960] No, I have not. [01:06:05.960 --> 01:06:08.960] Okay, you need to do that. [01:06:08.960 --> 01:06:12.960] Now, what charging instrument did they send to you? [01:06:12.960 --> 01:06:18.960] Okay, they sent me an affidavit from a police officer. [01:06:18.960 --> 01:06:21.960] What does it say across the top of it? [01:06:21.960 --> 01:06:22.960] Two, actually. [01:06:22.960 --> 01:06:24.960] Let me grab them real quick. [01:06:24.960 --> 01:06:29.960] I had to get close to the phone. [01:06:29.960 --> 01:06:34.960] Hang on just a second. [01:06:34.960 --> 01:06:40.960] In the name and by the authority of the state of Texas, they sent me two affidavits. [01:06:40.960 --> 01:06:46.960] Okay, across the top of it, what does it say as far as does it say complaint? [01:06:46.960 --> 01:06:47.960] Yeah, complaint. [01:06:47.960 --> 01:06:49.960] On both? [01:06:49.960 --> 01:06:50.960] Yes. [01:06:50.960 --> 01:06:53.960] Okay, and what kind of court is this? [01:06:53.960 --> 01:06:54.960] Municipal. [01:06:54.960 --> 01:06:57.960] Okay, those are not charging instruments. [01:06:57.960 --> 01:06:59.960] Those are complaints. [01:06:59.960 --> 01:07:03.960] Only an indictment or an information is a charging instrument. [01:07:03.960 --> 01:07:05.960] A complaint does not suffice. [01:07:05.960 --> 01:07:07.960] Okay. [01:07:07.960 --> 01:07:11.960] Now, what's in the complaint that's incorrect? [01:07:11.960 --> 01:07:15.960] What facts are made that are not facts, okay? [01:07:15.960 --> 01:07:21.960] You look the complaint over to see if there's anything in it that's invalid. [01:07:21.960 --> 01:07:22.960] Okay. [01:07:22.960 --> 01:07:26.960] One of the first things you do is check all information and facts stated in the complaint. [01:07:26.960 --> 01:07:28.960] Is it the right location? [01:07:28.960 --> 01:07:29.960] Is it the right date? [01:07:29.960 --> 01:07:30.960] Is it the right time? [01:07:30.960 --> 01:07:32.960] Did they name the right individual? [01:07:32.960 --> 01:07:35.960] So on and so forth, okay? [01:07:35.960 --> 01:07:41.960] However, the problem they have is they're still required to have the information. [01:07:41.960 --> 01:07:44.960] The city doesn't think they have to have it. [01:07:44.960 --> 01:07:52.960] The city is full of whatever you want to fill them up with, okay, because the law says they do. [01:07:52.960 --> 01:08:01.960] The city is relying upon two statutory sections, one of which was repealed in 1999 or earlier. [01:08:01.960 --> 01:08:10.960] It used to be 45.01, which said that a municipal court can proceed in criminal prosecution upon complaint alone. [01:08:10.960 --> 01:08:11.960] It was repealed. [01:08:11.960 --> 01:08:12.960] Why? [01:08:12.960 --> 01:08:14.960] It was unconstitutional. [01:08:14.960 --> 01:08:15.960] Gotcha. [01:08:15.960 --> 01:08:16.960] Okay. [01:08:16.960 --> 01:08:28.960] The other one is 27.14 D as in delta, which says that only if the defendant, the accused, pleads not guilty is the court [01:08:28.960 --> 01:08:31.960] required to produce an actual complaint. [01:08:31.960 --> 01:08:34.960] Well, there's a problem with that. [01:08:34.960 --> 01:08:40.960] The law says that you can't enter a plea to anything other than a valid charging instrument, [01:08:40.960 --> 01:08:43.960] which is the indictment or information. [01:08:43.960 --> 01:08:51.960] And neither of those can exist until a valid complaint exists on which to base them. [01:08:51.960 --> 01:08:58.960] And the citation itself is not sworn to under oath by anyone whatsoever. [01:08:58.960 --> 01:09:03.960] Therefore, it is not valid for the purpose of taking or entering a plea upon, [01:09:03.960 --> 01:09:09.960] no matter how many of these ignorant municipal judges want to think they can do it. [01:09:09.960 --> 01:09:10.960] Okay. [01:09:10.960 --> 01:09:12.960] I never plead. [01:09:12.960 --> 01:09:13.960] Okay. [01:09:13.960 --> 01:09:20.960] Whether you plead or not, there's a plea entered on your behalf, which is why you need to get into your court record. [01:09:20.960 --> 01:09:22.960] Gotcha. [01:09:22.960 --> 01:09:23.960] Okay. [01:09:23.960 --> 01:09:29.960] Now, when you get it, you need everything in the folder and you need everything in the computer. [01:09:29.960 --> 01:09:31.960] Don't forget that. [01:09:31.960 --> 01:09:34.960] Okay. [01:09:34.960 --> 01:09:41.960] And if they refuse to give it to you, then you file a motion stating that on this date at this time, [01:09:41.960 --> 01:09:48.960] defendant requested all records associated with his case in order to prepare a proper defense. [01:09:48.960 --> 01:09:54.960] All production of paperwork dealing with the information and facts to be used against the defendant [01:09:54.960 --> 01:10:01.960] were refused by the clerk of the court upon the authority of whoever told them not to do it. [01:10:01.960 --> 01:10:02.960] Okay. [01:10:02.960 --> 01:10:03.960] All right? [01:10:03.960 --> 01:10:04.960] Okay. [01:10:04.960 --> 01:10:09.960] You have that filing and you just call it a motion to compel production, okay? [01:10:09.960 --> 01:10:10.960] Okay. [01:10:10.960 --> 01:10:11.960] And just file it. [01:10:11.960 --> 01:10:13.960] You don't care what they do with it. [01:10:13.960 --> 01:10:19.960] But you make sure that that motion is notarized before you file it. [01:10:19.960 --> 01:10:28.960] And you get four notarized certified copies after you get it all filled out, okay? [01:10:28.960 --> 01:10:29.960] Mm-hmm. [01:10:29.960 --> 01:10:33.960] But that's what's called a verified motion. [01:10:33.960 --> 01:10:38.960] And we're going to dare them to ignore that one. [01:10:38.960 --> 01:10:39.960] Gotcha. [01:10:39.960 --> 01:10:46.960] We're going to start trying to cut the feet off this argument of you got to have an orders request [01:10:46.960 --> 01:10:52.960] or an information request or any of this other stuff for what the law says is already a public record. [01:10:52.960 --> 01:10:59.960] You can't accuse somebody of a criminal act and then deny them the information that's being used against them [01:10:59.960 --> 01:11:02.960] to prevent them from building a defense. [01:11:02.960 --> 01:11:06.960] That's a denial of due process in anybody's book except for these morons. [01:11:06.960 --> 01:11:07.960] Mm-hmm. [01:11:07.960 --> 01:11:08.960] Okay? [01:11:08.960 --> 01:11:15.960] So we're going to cut that out as quickly as possible by filing a verified motion to compel the information [01:11:15.960 --> 01:11:20.960] that's being held in the records that you need to build a proper defense. [01:11:20.960 --> 01:11:22.960] Gotcha. [01:11:22.960 --> 01:11:23.960] Okay. [01:11:23.960 --> 01:11:24.960] Okay. [01:11:24.960 --> 01:11:25.960] Wonderful. [01:11:25.960 --> 01:11:26.960] Now, that answers my question. [01:11:26.960 --> 01:11:27.960] Thank you, Mr. Craig. [01:11:27.960 --> 01:11:28.960] You're very welcome, Jim. [01:11:28.960 --> 01:11:29.960] Thanks for calling in. [01:11:29.960 --> 01:11:30.960] All right. [01:11:30.960 --> 01:11:31.960] I'll see you at Brave New Books. [01:11:31.960 --> 01:11:32.960] Thanks. [01:11:32.960 --> 01:11:33.960] Yes, sir. [01:11:33.960 --> 01:11:42.960] So speaking of Brave New Books one more time, folks, please, please, please send me an email today, tomorrow. [01:11:42.960 --> 01:11:48.960] It's got to be sometime tonight or very early tomorrow because I'm going to be down at the State Law Library all day. [01:11:48.960 --> 01:11:52.960] I'm not going to get a chance to respond back to emails before I go to Brave New Books. [01:11:52.960 --> 01:11:59.960] So please send me an email that I can send you the material we're going to be discussing tomorrow night [01:11:59.960 --> 01:12:03.960] so that you'll be able to print it out and bring it with you and have a copy to follow along with. [01:12:03.960 --> 01:12:06.960] I just don't have the funds to go down and get a bunch of copies made. [01:12:06.960 --> 01:12:07.960] I'm sorry. [01:12:07.960 --> 01:12:09.960] But please send me a contact email. [01:12:09.960 --> 01:12:17.960] Even if you've already contacted me, please send me another one so that I can make sure and reply back to everyone with a copy of the document. [01:12:17.960 --> 01:12:18.960] Okay? [01:12:18.960 --> 01:12:20.960] That can be found on the Web site, right? [01:12:20.960 --> 01:12:23.960] We have not got a chance to link it to the Web site. [01:12:23.960 --> 01:12:27.960] I'm considering talking to Harlem to see if we can make this a monthly thing, [01:12:27.960 --> 01:12:31.960] at which point we will build a dedicated link either on my new Web site, [01:12:31.960 --> 01:12:34.960] which I'm getting up now, or on the Rule of Law Web site, [01:12:34.960 --> 01:12:39.960] and we'll just attach whatever document we're going to be using that week to that link. [01:12:39.960 --> 01:12:41.960] No, I mean your email. [01:12:41.960 --> 01:12:42.960] Oh, yes. [01:12:42.960 --> 01:12:43.960] The email is on the Web site. [01:12:43.960 --> 01:12:51.960] It's Eddie at ruleoflawradio.com, E-D-D-I-E at ruleoflawradio.com. [01:12:51.960 --> 01:12:52.960] Okay. [01:12:52.960 --> 01:12:53.960] Thanks. [01:12:53.960 --> 01:12:54.960] All right. [01:12:54.960 --> 01:12:55.960] Yes, sir. [01:12:55.960 --> 01:12:56.960] Thank you, Jim. [01:12:56.960 --> 01:12:57.960] Thank you, Stephen. [01:12:57.960 --> 01:12:58.960] All right. [01:12:58.960 --> 01:12:59.960] Thank you, Jim. [01:12:59.960 --> 01:13:00.960] All right. [01:13:00.960 --> 01:13:04.960] We've got Stephen from Montana is next, and then Stephen from Illinois. [01:13:04.960 --> 01:13:07.960] Stephen from Montana, thank you for calling in. [01:13:07.960 --> 01:13:09.960] What is on your mind tonight? [01:13:09.960 --> 01:13:11.960] Hi, guys. [01:13:11.960 --> 01:13:16.960] Since you guys have been talking about with Aaron about the sufficiency of the charge, [01:13:16.960 --> 01:13:25.960] charging instrument, Montana misdemeanors can be commenced on a complaint alone. [01:13:25.960 --> 01:13:28.960] And justice and municipal courts. [01:13:28.960 --> 01:13:38.960] But what I've been trying to do for the last year is get Nature and Cause of the charge, [01:13:38.960 --> 01:13:44.960] which I know it doesn't have on there because all it says on the complaint is acronym DUI, [01:13:44.960 --> 01:13:48.960] and then a blanket statute number in which there's four subsections, [01:13:48.960 --> 01:13:52.960] which each subsection has different elements to prove. [01:13:52.960 --> 01:13:58.960] So I've been asking for Nature and Cause for the last year, [01:13:58.960 --> 01:14:04.960] and all the prosecutors ever responded back was that I've had the Nature and Cause the entire time. [01:14:04.960 --> 01:14:06.960] It's on the ticket. [01:14:06.960 --> 01:14:11.960] And I respond back, of course, no, it's not, blah, blah, blah. [01:14:11.960 --> 01:14:14.960] Then it's finally gone further and further and further, [01:14:14.960 --> 01:14:18.960] and I finally got an oral argument on the matter, [01:14:18.960 --> 01:14:24.960] which I believe I blew the prosecutor away on it. [01:14:24.960 --> 01:14:29.960] I had my eye got to open up with the oral argument, [01:14:29.960 --> 01:14:35.960] and I brought up case law state and some state law or case law state in the form of charge, [01:14:35.960 --> 01:14:45.960] but insufficient in the language of the statute of the definition of the statute of offense charged. [01:14:45.960 --> 01:14:49.960] I brought up a few more, and I brought up another case where somebody sued the cop [01:14:49.960 --> 01:14:57.960] for not filing a valid form of charge or sufficient charge enough, [01:14:57.960 --> 01:15:08.960] and then the judge issued an arrest warrant, and then so all this stuff. [01:15:08.960 --> 01:15:11.960] And then, of course, the prosecutor kept coming back with the summons, [01:15:11.960 --> 01:15:15.960] or the notice to appear that the cop gives, which she's all like, [01:15:15.960 --> 01:15:18.960] well, the notice to appear is valid, the notice to appear is valid. [01:15:18.960 --> 01:15:23.960] And then I brought out the jury instructions that the court had to give, [01:15:23.960 --> 01:15:25.960] and I was like, well, what are you going to instruct the jury on? [01:15:25.960 --> 01:15:27.960] What's the elements of these crimes? [01:15:27.960 --> 01:15:32.960] So I kind of had the prosecutor, she really didn't know what to come back on. [01:15:32.960 --> 01:15:36.960] And I've noticed the judge, many times I gave her a judicial notice of judicial immunity [01:15:36.960 --> 01:15:41.960] on this same situation of the charging instrument's invalid [01:15:41.960 --> 01:15:44.960] and didn't confer a jurisdiction to the court, [01:15:44.960 --> 01:15:50.960] and I don't see how it can give prosecutorial immunity either. [01:15:50.960 --> 01:15:54.960] Now, because the commencement of prosecution in Montana [01:15:54.960 --> 01:16:00.960] says the commencement of prosecution is by information complaint or indictment. [01:16:00.960 --> 01:16:06.960] If the complaint's invalid, then I don't see how it can confer jurisdiction [01:16:06.960 --> 01:16:09.960] or, I mean, commence prosecution. [01:16:09.960 --> 01:16:10.960] Well, it can. [01:16:10.960 --> 01:16:11.960] That's a simple answer to that. [01:16:11.960 --> 01:16:14.960] But now let me ask you a question. [01:16:14.960 --> 01:16:18.960] What you just quoted is statute, correct? [01:16:18.960 --> 01:16:20.960] The commencement of prosecution. [01:16:20.960 --> 01:16:21.960] Yes, commencement of prosecution. [01:16:21.960 --> 01:16:24.960] Yes, that's the main title. [01:16:24.960 --> 01:16:28.960] How much of your constitution have you looked at in regards to that? [01:16:28.960 --> 01:16:30.960] Because here in Texas, like I said, [01:16:30.960 --> 01:16:34.960] 2.05 says they can proceed upon complaint alone in a justice court. [01:16:34.960 --> 01:16:39.960] The problem is that violates the state constitution [01:16:39.960 --> 01:16:43.960] because it says only two things vest the court with jurisdiction. [01:16:43.960 --> 01:16:45.960] But hang on just a second, Stephen. [01:16:45.960 --> 01:16:46.960] We'll pick that up on the other side. [01:16:46.960 --> 01:16:47.960] We're about to go to break. [01:16:47.960 --> 01:16:49.960] All right, folks, this is Rule of Law Radio. [01:16:49.960 --> 01:16:51.960] Eddie Craig, Deborah Stevens. [01:16:51.960 --> 01:16:53.960] We will be right back on the other side of the break, [01:16:53.960 --> 01:16:59.960] so please hang in there with us. [01:16:59.960 --> 01:17:02.960] It is so enlightening to listen to 90.1 FM, [01:17:02.960 --> 01:17:05.960] but finding things on the Internet isn't so easy, [01:17:05.960 --> 01:17:08.960] and neither is finding like-minded people to share it with. [01:17:08.960 --> 01:17:11.960] Oh, well, I guess you haven't heard of Brave New Books then. [01:17:11.960 --> 01:17:12.960] Brave New Books? [01:17:12.960 --> 01:17:15.960] Yes, Brave New Books has all the books and DVDs you're looking for [01:17:15.960 --> 01:17:19.960] by authors like Alex Jones, Ron Paul, and G. Edward Griffin. [01:17:19.960 --> 01:17:23.960] They even stock inner food, Berkey products, and Calvin Soaps. [01:17:23.960 --> 01:17:25.960] There's no way a place like that exists. [01:17:25.960 --> 01:17:27.960] Go check it out for yourself. [01:17:27.960 --> 01:17:31.960] It's downtown at 1904 Guadalupe Street just south of UT. [01:17:31.960 --> 01:17:34.960] By UT, there's never anywhere to park down there. [01:17:34.960 --> 01:17:37.960] Actually, they now offer a free hour of parking [01:17:37.960 --> 01:17:40.960] for paying customers at the 500 MLK parking facility [01:17:40.960 --> 01:17:42.960] just behind the bookstore. [01:17:42.960 --> 01:17:46.960] It does exist, but when are they open? [01:17:46.960 --> 01:17:51.960] Monday through Saturday, 11 AM to 9 PM, and 1 to 6 PM on Sundays. [01:17:51.960 --> 01:17:55.960] So get them a call at 512-480-2503, [01:17:55.960 --> 01:17:58.960] or check out their events page at bravenewbookstore.com.

[01:19:43.960 --> 01:19:46.960] Okay, let's go back to Steven in Montana. [01:19:46.960 --> 01:19:49.960] Steven, let's go on with what you had there as far as [01:19:49.960 --> 01:19:52.960] looking at what your state constitution says about the issue [01:19:52.960 --> 01:19:56.960] of how to proceed with a criminal prosecution. [01:19:56.960 --> 01:19:58.960] Like I say, here in Texas, [01:19:58.960 --> 01:20:01.960] they did have statutes that said they could do it that way. [01:20:01.960 --> 01:20:05.960] However, they did conflict with the state constitution. [01:20:05.960 --> 01:20:09.960] That's what got 45.01 kicked out of the Code of Criminal Procedure [01:20:09.960 --> 01:20:12.960] was the fact that it was unconstitutional on its face, [01:20:12.960 --> 01:20:15.960] which makes part of 2.05 the same way. [01:20:15.960 --> 01:20:18.960] It just hasn't been challenged yet, it would appear. [01:20:18.960 --> 01:20:23.960] Right, yeah, it's in our constitution, and I've looked at it [01:20:23.960 --> 01:20:25.960] all the way back to the beginning of our state, [01:20:25.960 --> 01:20:30.960] and they could always have done it by complaint, [01:20:30.960 --> 01:20:32.960] for misdemeanors only, though, [01:20:32.960 --> 01:20:38.960] but felonies had to be indictments or information. [01:20:38.960 --> 01:20:40.960] But still, I mean, I understand that, [01:20:40.960 --> 01:20:43.960] but still just the form of charge, you know, nature and cause. [01:20:43.960 --> 01:20:45.960] And that's what I don't quite understand, [01:20:45.960 --> 01:20:47.960] because I look in a lot of dictionaries, [01:20:47.960 --> 01:20:50.960] and I look for the nature, and it's not really in there. [01:20:50.960 --> 01:20:53.960] I really can't get any definition [01:20:53.960 --> 01:20:55.960] on really what nature and cause is. [01:20:55.960 --> 01:20:58.960] I can't find a court case on it, explaining it. [01:20:58.960 --> 01:21:00.960] And I'm thinking the nature, of course, [01:21:00.960 --> 01:21:03.960] is civil, criminal, maritime equity or whatever, [01:21:03.960 --> 01:21:05.960] and the cause, I'm just guessing, [01:21:05.960 --> 01:21:09.960] is all the elements of the offense, I guess, right? [01:21:09.960 --> 01:21:11.960] Yeah, that's correct. [01:21:11.960 --> 01:21:13.960] That's exactly what it is. [01:21:13.960 --> 01:21:16.960] Okay, so if they don't have all the elements, they don't have cause. [01:21:16.960 --> 01:21:18.960] That's why our form of charge says it must state [01:21:18.960 --> 01:21:20.960] whether it's a misdemeanor or felony. [01:21:20.960 --> 01:21:23.960] That way you know that it's a criminal nature. [01:21:23.960 --> 01:21:25.960] And the form of charge here, of course, [01:21:25.960 --> 01:21:28.960] doesn't state felony or misdemeanor. [01:21:28.960 --> 01:21:30.960] Right, well, there are some states [01:21:30.960 --> 01:21:34.960] where you have civil misdemeanors, [01:21:34.960 --> 01:21:36.960] not just felony misdemeanors. [01:21:36.960 --> 01:21:38.960] They're considered infractions. [01:21:38.960 --> 01:21:40.960] They're still called a misdemeanor, [01:21:40.960 --> 01:21:43.960] but it's an infraction rather than an offense. [01:21:43.960 --> 01:21:45.960] And so those are actually civil. [01:21:45.960 --> 01:21:49.960] So you can't go simply by the fact that it says it's a misdemeanor. [01:21:49.960 --> 01:21:51.960] Okay. [01:21:51.960 --> 01:21:55.960] So the nature is there's one of these that's the nature. [01:21:55.960 --> 01:21:56.960] It's criminal. [01:21:56.960 --> 01:21:57.960] It's civil. [01:21:57.960 --> 01:21:58.960] It's administrative. [01:21:58.960 --> 01:22:05.960] It's maritime, slash admiralty, or it's equity. [01:22:05.960 --> 01:22:09.960] And equity and civil are sometimes, most of the time, the same. [01:22:09.960 --> 01:22:11.960] So they can be called different names. [01:22:11.960 --> 01:22:16.960] Those are the nature of the charge. [01:22:16.960 --> 01:22:18.960] Right. [01:22:18.960 --> 01:22:20.960] See, that's exactly what I thought. [01:22:20.960 --> 01:22:23.960] And I don't think half the prosecutors in this country get what that is [01:22:23.960 --> 01:22:25.960] because the prosecutor in my case, he just like, [01:22:25.960 --> 01:22:26.960] did he have the nature and cause? [01:22:26.960 --> 01:22:28.960] It's right there. [01:22:28.960 --> 01:22:30.960] No, what you have is the accusation. [01:22:30.960 --> 01:22:32.960] That does not translate the nature and cause. [01:22:32.960 --> 01:22:33.960] And you're right. [01:22:33.960 --> 01:22:37.960] Most of them don't know. [01:22:37.960 --> 01:22:38.960] That's funny. [01:22:38.960 --> 01:22:42.960] It's funny, too, how it's in most of our state's constitution that we all have [01:22:42.960 --> 01:22:46.960] that right to know the nature and cause, and they seem to deny it every single time. [01:22:46.960 --> 01:22:49.960] That's right, because most people don't know that they're entitled to it [01:22:49.960 --> 01:22:51.960] and don't ask for it. [01:22:51.960 --> 01:22:57.960] And then when they deprive you of a substantial due right or inalienable right like that, [01:22:57.960 --> 01:23:02.960] then they lose all jurisdiction, I would imagine, or all immunity as well. [01:23:02.960 --> 01:23:05.960] That's true. [01:23:05.960 --> 01:23:08.960] So you told Aaron about criminal charges. [01:23:08.960 --> 01:23:11.960] What kind of civil actions do you think? [01:23:11.960 --> 01:23:13.960] That all depends upon the state. [01:23:13.960 --> 01:23:17.960] Every state's got its own basis of what constitutes a civil tort [01:23:17.960 --> 01:23:20.960] under a constitutional violation. [01:23:20.960 --> 01:23:25.960] There are certain violations in Texas that do have a correlating cause of action, [01:23:25.960 --> 01:23:31.960] but 95% of the criminal actions that a public servant can commit, [01:23:31.960 --> 01:23:34.960] there is no civil cause of action for. [01:23:34.960 --> 01:23:41.960] For instance, there is no direct civil cause of action for a denial of due process. [01:23:41.960 --> 01:23:45.960] You can't sue them for violating your rights [01:23:45.960 --> 01:23:51.960] because the legislature has not named a cause of action for that violation. [01:23:51.960 --> 01:23:57.960] It's ridiculous, but every state's got its own setup for what that is. [01:23:57.960 --> 01:24:05.960] So that's what you're going to have to find is who is the premier authority on causes of action in Montana. [01:24:05.960 --> 01:24:10.960] Here in Texas, it's O'Connor's causes of action. [01:24:10.960 --> 01:24:13.960] So that's where we look. [01:24:13.960 --> 01:24:21.960] So if they're denying a state constitutional right that's not in the federal, [01:24:21.960 --> 01:24:24.960] then you can't go to a federal... [01:24:24.960 --> 01:24:28.960] That's right. You can take them into a venue, a 1983 [01:24:28.960 --> 01:24:33.960] and a Section 242 action under Title 18 and Title 42. [01:24:33.960 --> 01:24:38.960] Right, okay, because I've done freedom of information in my county [01:24:38.960 --> 01:24:42.960] along with basically asking for the same thing that was in my discovery, [01:24:42.960 --> 01:24:45.960] and I haven't been denied all of those. [01:24:45.960 --> 01:24:48.960] In our Constitution, we have a right to know. [01:24:48.960 --> 01:24:53.960] In our Declaration of Rights, we have one section that's called the right to know, [01:24:53.960 --> 01:24:56.960] and it's about all your freedom of information rights. [01:24:56.960 --> 01:24:58.960] But the federal Constitution doesn't have that. [01:24:58.960 --> 01:25:03.960] So if I wanted to bring a cause of action for being denied all my rights to know, [01:25:03.960 --> 01:25:12.960] that'd have to only be brought within the state then probably for denial of a state constitutional right. [01:25:12.960 --> 01:25:18.960] Yeah, you can definitely sue in the Fed for that, but I want the opportunity to sue them twice. [01:25:18.960 --> 01:25:22.960] Once in the state so the people of the state can see what's being done to them, [01:25:22.960 --> 01:25:29.960] and then once at the Fed for the violation of the federal constitutional protections as well. [01:25:29.960 --> 01:25:35.960] Okay. Okay, aside from the sufficiency of the charge, okay, we got that. [01:25:35.960 --> 01:25:38.960] What about when you know how most of the time they always tell you [01:25:38.960 --> 01:25:41.960] at or before a certain date on the notice to appear the cop gives you [01:25:41.960 --> 01:25:47.960] and you show up for your arraignment, prosecutor around here is never there. [01:25:47.960 --> 01:25:50.960] It's always you and just the judge. [01:25:50.960 --> 01:25:54.960] And I was reading in order for a court to have subject matter jurisdiction, [01:25:54.960 --> 01:25:58.960] this was a civil case of course, but I think it would apply to criminals as well. [01:25:58.960 --> 01:26:02.960] There's three things it said that they had to have, cognizance of the subject matter, [01:26:02.960 --> 01:26:08.960] presence of all proper parties, and proper pleadings. [01:26:08.960 --> 01:26:13.960] Well, the situation you're in though, if the prosecuting attorney is not there [01:26:13.960 --> 01:26:16.960] and everything that's being done is being done through the judge, [01:26:16.960 --> 01:26:22.960] if you're receiving a fair and impartial trial, the judge is going to act as the prosecutor as well. [01:26:22.960 --> 01:26:24.960] Right. [01:26:24.960 --> 01:26:30.960] So I would imagine they lost jurisdiction just because of not being there at the arraignment. [01:26:30.960 --> 01:26:37.960] Well, on the arraignment, what is the procedures established by state law regarding an arraignment? [01:26:37.960 --> 01:26:40.960] Who has to be there, who's not required to be there? [01:26:40.960 --> 01:26:44.960] Are you allowed an examining trial in Montana, so on and so forth? [01:26:44.960 --> 01:26:50.960] For instance, here in Texas, an examining trial gets to be conducted exactly the same way as a trial does. [01:26:50.960 --> 01:26:56.960] In other words, you get to cross-examine witnesses, call witnesses, look at evidence. [01:26:56.960 --> 01:26:59.960] You get to do all of that stuff. [01:26:59.960 --> 01:27:04.960] And when they don't do it, then they kind of have a problem. [01:27:04.960 --> 01:27:07.960] Yeah. Well, ours is a little separate. [01:27:07.960 --> 01:27:12.960] We only have examination in one statute, and it's the duties of the sheriff. [01:27:12.960 --> 01:27:23.960] Duties of sheriff, subsection two, is arrest all persons who have committed or are about to commit [01:27:23.960 --> 01:27:26.960] and take before the nearest magistrate for an examination. [01:27:26.960 --> 01:27:28.960] That's all it says about examination. [01:27:28.960 --> 01:27:30.960] Okay. Well, that's an examining trial. [01:27:30.960 --> 01:27:35.960] Now, what is there that says what the steps of that examination are? [01:27:35.960 --> 01:27:39.960] There isn't one. The only one is initial appearance. [01:27:39.960 --> 01:27:41.960] Well, but there's got to be one. [01:27:41.960 --> 01:27:44.960] There has to be some set of procedure that has to be followed. [01:27:44.960 --> 01:27:50.960] You need to see whether or not that section translates into the same procedures as done in the other cases [01:27:50.960 --> 01:27:53.960] or if it's something separate. [01:27:53.960 --> 01:28:00.960] But there has to be a set of procedures to be followed once that examination is brought into being. [01:28:00.960 --> 01:28:05.960] Well, I'm guessing the examination is just a probable cause, and then they... [01:28:05.960 --> 01:28:13.960] Well, I understand that, but there has to be rules to set up how to make that determination a probable cause. [01:28:13.960 --> 01:28:16.960] You need to find them. Where are they? [01:28:16.960 --> 01:28:20.960] The next thing that they have, the next procedure they only have is it's called the initial appearance, [01:28:20.960 --> 01:28:24.960] and there is where they set bail. [01:28:24.960 --> 01:28:28.960] Okay. That's fine, but that's still two separate things, isn't it? [01:28:28.960 --> 01:28:29.960] Exactly. [01:28:29.960 --> 01:28:32.960] Okay. So where's the procedure on the examination? [01:28:32.960 --> 01:28:37.960] Nowhere. The only place it talks about an examination is in the duties of the sheriff after the arrest. [01:28:37.960 --> 01:28:41.960] Okay. And you've got a constitutional argument there. [01:28:41.960 --> 01:28:45.960] I was supposed to be given an examination, yet I was not. [01:28:45.960 --> 01:28:50.960] And even if I have been given the examination, where's the procedure for doing it? [01:28:50.960 --> 01:28:54.960] It's not in the law that we can find anywhere. [01:28:54.960 --> 01:29:00.960] So I am being denied a due process step here because there's no law to protect me in this [01:29:00.960 --> 01:29:04.960] examining trial to ensure they do what they're supposed to do. [01:29:04.960 --> 01:29:08.960] Exactly. I looked it up in Black's Law, just examination in Black's Law. [01:29:08.960 --> 01:29:11.960] It goes through all the procedures in Black's Law. [01:29:11.960 --> 01:29:15.960] Yeah. Okay. Well, I think we've got this horse pretty well beat. [01:29:15.960 --> 01:29:19.960] There's a couple things you need to research in that regard, but we're getting some callers on the board, [01:29:19.960 --> 01:29:21.960] so I'm going to go ahead and cut you loose. [01:29:21.960 --> 01:29:23.960] Is there anything else you need to know before we do? [01:29:23.960 --> 01:29:26.960] No, that's good. I just wanted to know the cause of the action. Okay, thanks. [01:29:26.960 --> 01:29:29.960] All right. Thanks for calling in, Stephen. [01:29:29.960 --> 01:29:32.960] All right. Now we're going to Stephen in Illinois. [01:29:32.960 --> 01:29:35.960] Good evening, Stephen in Illinois. What can we do for you? [01:29:35.960 --> 01:29:40.960] Oh, I guess we can't do much yet. If you'll hang on, we will be right back with you. [01:29:40.960 --> 01:29:44.960] We're about to go on another break, so just hold on, everybody. [01:29:44.960 --> 01:29:47.960] Let's see, Michael in Maryland and Mitchell in Texas, we see you. [01:29:47.960 --> 01:29:50.960] Please hang on. We'll get to you guys on the other side of the break. [01:29:50.960 --> 01:29:53.960] This is Eddie Craig, Deborah Stevens, Rule of Law Radio. [01:29:53.960 --> 01:29:59.960] Give us a call, 512-646-1984. [01:30:23.960 --> 01:30:32.960] Being overweight in Japan is illegal. [01:30:32.960 --> 01:30:35.960] Citizens with bloated waistlines are labeled Metabo [01:30:35.960 --> 01:30:37.960] and must slim down to meet government mandates. [01:30:37.960 --> 01:30:39.960] Will the U.S. follow suit? [01:30:39.960 --> 01:30:43.960] I'm Dr. Catherine Albert, and I'll be back to weigh in on this issue in just a moment. [01:30:43.960 --> 01:30:47.960] Your search engine is watching you, recording all your searches [01:30:47.960 --> 01:30:51.960] and creating a massive database of your personal information. [01:30:51.960 --> 01:30:54.960] That's creepy, but it doesn't have to be that way. [01:30:54.960 --> 01:30:57.960] Startpage.com is the world's most private search engine. [01:30:57.960 --> 01:31:01.960] Startpage doesn't store your IP address, make a record of your searches, [01:31:01.960 --> 01:31:04.960] or use tracking cookies, and they're third-party certified.

[01:31:11.960 --> 01:31:14.960] Startpage.com, the world's most private search engine. [01:31:14.960 --> 01:31:18.960] Japan's universal healthcare system is a budget buster. [01:31:18.960 --> 01:31:22.960] Overweight citizens raise costs, so the government wants to whittle waistlines. [01:31:22.960 --> 01:31:26.960] Men with weights over 33 inches and women with weights over 35 inches [01:31:26.960 --> 01:31:28.960] are illegally overweight. [01:31:28.960 --> 01:31:30.960] It doesn't matter how tall you are. [01:31:30.960 --> 01:31:33.960] Companies face heavy fines if employees don't slim down, [01:31:33.960 --> 01:31:36.960] so workers are pressured into weight loss programs. [01:31:36.960 --> 01:31:39.960] Here in the U.S., grocers stop and shop once considered sharing [01:31:39.960 --> 01:31:42.960] shopper card purchase data with HMOs, [01:31:42.960 --> 01:31:45.960] presumably to punish shoppers choosing bacon over bran. [01:31:45.960 --> 01:31:49.960] And with Obamacare, mandated measurements in food needs could be just around [01:31:49.960 --> 01:31:52.960] the corner unless we say no to health surveillance today. [01:31:52.960 --> 01:32:15.960] I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht. More news and information at CatherineAlbrecht.com. [01:32:22.960 --> 01:32:49.960] Thank you. [01:32:49.960 --> 01:32:53.960] Good morning, chip you in the evening, chip you all the dinner time. [01:32:53.960 --> 01:32:57.960] Experiment on mankind, but man, you know, say them lie. [01:32:57.960 --> 01:33:00.960] Well, we don't want no chip, man, you have your body. [01:33:00.960 --> 01:33:03.960] Freedom or something, man, you fight for it. [01:33:03.960 --> 01:33:05.960] You should tell them they feel ready. [01:33:05.960 --> 01:33:07.960] Constitution set us free. [01:33:07.960 --> 01:33:10.960] Don't let them put no chip in your body. [01:33:10.960 --> 01:33:12.960] Put no chip in your dog or cat, you see. [01:33:12.960 --> 01:33:14.960] No put no chip in your cow and go eat it. [01:33:14.960 --> 01:33:17.960] No put no chip in the fish and go eat it. [01:33:17.960 --> 01:33:19.960] All in the wheel and the shark in the sea. [01:33:19.960 --> 01:33:22.960] Put the little chip in the little beady. [01:33:22.960 --> 01:33:24.960] Want to put the chip in the ground for you see. [01:33:24.960 --> 01:33:26.960] Want to put the little chip in the iron body. [01:33:26.960 --> 01:33:29.960] If me go hide in the Atlantic sea. [01:33:29.960 --> 01:33:31.960] One did have the light, me say go go find me. [01:33:31.960 --> 01:33:33.960] Satellite get bad, satellite get on me. [01:33:33.960 --> 01:33:34.960] All right, folks, we are back. [01:33:34.960 --> 01:33:39.960] Rule of Law Radio 512-646-1984 is the call-in number. [01:33:39.960 --> 01:33:42.960] We have a couple of callers on the board. [01:33:42.960 --> 01:33:45.960] We've got Stephen in Illinois, then we have Mitchell in Texas, [01:33:45.960 --> 01:33:47.960] and then Michael in Maryland. [01:33:47.960 --> 01:33:50.960] So Stephen in Illinois, please continue with your question. [01:33:50.960 --> 01:33:51.960] Yeah, good evening. [01:33:51.960 --> 01:33:53.960] Thanks for taking my question. [01:33:53.960 --> 01:34:01.960] I got a situation where a colleague of mine and I were involved in some real estate transactions. [01:34:01.960 --> 01:34:05.960] And he's actually surprised he's not calling. [01:34:05.960 --> 01:34:07.960] And I suppose we'd be calling together. [01:34:07.960 --> 01:34:16.960] But nonetheless, he was arrested on a buyer fraud charge because he was involved. [01:34:16.960 --> 01:34:18.960] And he's not a real estate agent. [01:34:18.960 --> 01:34:19.960] He's not a broker. [01:34:19.960 --> 01:34:21.960] He's not a buyer or seller. [01:34:21.960 --> 01:34:27.960] He was a facilitator and got arrested just because he got paid out of the deal. [01:34:27.960 --> 01:34:31.960] The charges, this happened about a year ago. [01:34:31.960 --> 01:34:34.960] The feds came to his house, arrested him. [01:34:34.960 --> 01:34:40.960] And they dropped the charges without prejudice. [01:34:40.960 --> 01:34:42.960] He has an attorney involved. [01:34:42.960 --> 01:34:45.960] And because I'm involved, I'm being proactive too. [01:34:45.960 --> 01:34:51.960] But I guess my thing is we've both been told not to hire attorneys. [01:34:51.960 --> 01:34:55.960] I know that he's done UCC paperwork and all of this stuff, I guess, [01:34:55.960 --> 01:35:06.960] to prepare him, you know, to, I guess, battle the situation in a different type of scenario as a sovereign or secured party. [01:35:06.960 --> 01:35:07.960] Okay. [01:35:07.960 --> 01:35:12.960] Well, let me tell you first off what the UCC paperwork is actually going to wind up meaning for you guys if you use it. [01:35:12.960 --> 01:35:16.960] You see that cell? [01:35:16.960 --> 01:35:18.960] That's what it's going to wind up meaning. [01:35:18.960 --> 01:35:19.960] Oh, okay. [01:35:19.960 --> 01:35:20.960] All right? [01:35:20.960 --> 01:35:22.960] Don't do that. [01:35:22.960 --> 01:35:24.960] Use the law against them. [01:35:24.960 --> 01:35:26.960] They're using it against you. [01:35:26.960 --> 01:35:28.960] Use it against them. [01:35:28.960 --> 01:35:29.960] Okay? [01:35:29.960 --> 01:35:35.960] This UCC stuff is going to get more people hurt than it's ever going to help. [01:35:35.960 --> 01:35:36.960] Okay. [01:35:36.960 --> 01:35:38.960] All right? [01:35:38.960 --> 01:35:39.960] Okay. [01:35:38.960 --> 01:35:45.960] First thing is, has anybody read the statutes you're being charged under, whether they be federal or state? [01:35:45.960 --> 01:35:47.960] Has anyone read them? [01:35:47.960 --> 01:35:49.960] When you say read them, what do you mean? [01:35:49.960 --> 01:35:55.960] As in looked at them and read them top to bottom to see what you're being charged with? [01:35:55.960 --> 01:35:56.960] Yeah. [01:35:56.960 --> 01:36:00.960] Title 18, the United States Code 1343. [01:36:00.960 --> 01:36:01.960] Okay. [01:36:00.960 --> 01:36:02.960] And where was this cell? [01:36:02.960 --> 01:36:05.960] Was it across interstate lines? [01:36:05.960 --> 01:36:12.960] Well, the cell happened in one particular state, but the financing came from a bank from another state. [01:36:12.960 --> 01:36:13.960] Okay. [01:36:13.960 --> 01:36:21.960] And under this particular statute under Title 18, what are the elements of the crime? [01:36:21.960 --> 01:36:31.960] Well, it says, devising a scheme to defraud for obtaining money or property by means of false pretenses, [01:36:31.960 --> 01:36:38.960] representations of pretenses, transmits or causes to be transmitted by means of wire communication [01:36:38.960 --> 01:36:45.960] and interstate commerce, any writing, signals and sounds for the purpose of executing such a scheme. [01:36:45.960 --> 01:36:46.960] Okay. [01:36:46.960 --> 01:36:52.960] And what is the scheme particularly that your partners allegedly committed here? [01:36:52.960 --> 01:37:04.960] Well, I guess the buyers basically purported that, you know, they had the income to support purchasing these homes. [01:37:04.960 --> 01:37:10.960] They defaulted on the loans, therefore now the dominoes have failed and, you know, people are getting dragged in now. [01:37:10.960 --> 01:37:13.960] Okay. [01:37:13.960 --> 01:37:16.960] But how does your friend tie into all this? [01:37:16.960 --> 01:37:20.960] Well, basically, you know, they're calling it a conspiracy. [01:37:20.960 --> 01:37:28.960] I mean, mortgage brokers have been pulled in, title companies, like I said, the person who bought the home. [01:37:28.960 --> 01:37:35.960] And again, I was a part of, you know, facilitating, bringing parties together to help execute the buying [01:37:35.960 --> 01:37:36.960] and selling of these properties. [01:37:36.960 --> 01:37:42.960] So I know it's just a matter of time before, you know, something comes in my way. [01:37:42.960 --> 01:37:45.960] Okay. [01:37:45.960 --> 01:37:46.960] All right. [01:37:46.960 --> 01:37:52.960] So was your friend working for himself or did he work for somebody else or were we dealing with you? [01:37:52.960 --> 01:37:54.960] Well, we both, we didn't work for a company. [01:37:54.960 --> 01:37:56.960] We just were individuals who did this, you know. [01:37:56.960 --> 01:37:58.960] You know, you wanted to buy a house. [01:37:58.960 --> 01:38:00.960] John Smith was selling it. [01:38:00.960 --> 01:38:01.960] We put you two together. [01:38:01.960 --> 01:38:07.960] And, you know, we knew mortgage brokers and people, you know, who could help make the deal happen. [01:38:07.960 --> 01:38:09.960] Okay. [01:38:09.960 --> 01:38:19.960] So the question is, we've gotten all kind of theories, okay, everything from, well, they dismissed it, you know, [01:38:19.960 --> 01:38:24.960] without prejudice because they want to obviously compile more information, do more, you know, do more. [01:38:24.960 --> 01:38:28.960] Right. Without prejudice simply means we're going to dismiss it for now, [01:38:28.960 --> 01:38:32.960] but we can come back later if we get enough information to make this stick. [01:38:32.960 --> 01:38:33.960] Exactly. [01:38:33.960 --> 01:38:34.960] That's what it means. [01:38:34.960 --> 01:38:35.960] Okay. [01:38:35.960 --> 01:38:37.960] And that's exactly what they'll do if they can. [01:38:37.960 --> 01:38:40.960] What's the statute of limitations on the charge? [01:38:40.960 --> 01:38:43.960] There is no statute of limitations on it. [01:38:43.960 --> 01:38:46.960] There's always a statute of limitations. [01:38:46.960 --> 01:38:49.960] Well, I've looked and... [01:38:49.960 --> 01:38:55.960] The only thing in America that does not have a statute of limitations is murder. [01:38:55.960 --> 01:38:56.960] Okay. [01:38:56.960 --> 01:38:59.960] Well, I mean, I've looked for the statute on it. [01:38:59.960 --> 01:39:05.960] The deal's happened in 2005. [01:39:05.960 --> 01:39:09.960] And, again, I don't know if there's a statute on it or not. [01:39:09.960 --> 01:39:10.960] Okay. [01:39:10.960 --> 01:39:11.960] Well, let's put it this way. [01:39:11.960 --> 01:39:13.960] Basically, the charge is fraud, right? [01:39:13.960 --> 01:39:14.960] Correct. [01:39:14.960 --> 01:39:20.960] So what is the statute of limitations on the various types of frauds at the federal level? [01:39:20.960 --> 01:39:22.960] Again, I don't know. [01:39:22.960 --> 01:39:23.960] Right. [01:39:23.960 --> 01:39:27.960] You need to be finding out because most likely there's going to be a direct correlation. [01:39:27.960 --> 01:39:29.960] Okay. [01:39:29.960 --> 01:39:31.960] All right. [01:39:31.960 --> 01:39:32.960] Okay. [01:39:32.960 --> 01:39:34.960] We've been told not to hire attorneys and all. [01:39:34.960 --> 01:39:35.960] Well, of course you have. [01:39:35.960 --> 01:39:41.960] That gives no one time to prepare for you. [01:39:41.960 --> 01:39:45.960] The longer you spend floundering around in the water unprotected, [01:39:45.960 --> 01:39:49.960] the more they're able to question you and dig up information on you [01:39:49.960 --> 01:39:53.960] and do what they want to do to make you hang yourself and save them the effort. [01:39:53.960 --> 01:39:54.960] Okay. [01:39:54.960 --> 01:39:56.960] So should attorneys be hired? [01:39:56.960 --> 01:40:04.960] If you feel for one moment that your freedom or any other piece of property is at risk in this situation [01:40:04.960 --> 01:40:11.960] and you don't feel capable of defending yourself, by all means hire an attorney. [01:40:11.960 --> 01:40:12.960] Okay. [01:40:12.960 --> 01:40:15.960] But learn how to control them when you do. [01:40:15.960 --> 01:40:18.960] And don't let them sell you down the river in the process. [01:40:18.960 --> 01:40:21.960] And that's my fear. [01:40:21.960 --> 01:40:26.960] Well, that fear is not any greater than you doing it by yourself not having a clue what you're getting into. [01:40:26.960 --> 01:40:28.960] Right. [01:40:28.960 --> 01:40:33.960] The thing about the attorney is he's a lot easier because you're dealing with a known quantity here. [01:40:33.960 --> 01:40:34.960] Okay. [01:40:34.960 --> 01:40:42.960] Protect my rights, every one of my rights, or I will bargain with you for every one you fail to protect. [01:40:42.960 --> 01:40:50.960] And I will do it if I even smell a hint of it on the air that you're going to sell me down the river. [01:40:50.960 --> 01:40:52.960] Okay. [01:40:52.960 --> 01:40:54.960] Okay. [01:40:54.960 --> 01:41:08.960] So I guess the thing is in regards to if an indictment comes down, you know, at that juncture, [01:41:08.960 --> 01:41:14.960] you know, with that charging instrument coming down like that, what would you advise to be done at that point, [01:41:14.960 --> 01:41:17.960] if an attorney is involved or not? [01:41:17.960 --> 01:41:21.960] Well, at that point, yeah, I'd most assuredly have one involved. [01:41:21.960 --> 01:41:27.960] Now, right now, you can go consult with one and let them know what's up [01:41:27.960 --> 01:41:31.960] and see if there's any that are willing to take your case should it come to that. [01:41:31.960 --> 01:41:32.960] Okay. [01:41:32.960 --> 01:41:36.960] But if you find one, they're going to want a retainer fee. [01:41:36.960 --> 01:41:39.960] I can tell you that right now, they're going to want a retainer. [01:41:39.960 --> 01:41:41.960] And I cannot tell you how much that will be. [01:41:41.960 --> 01:41:43.960] That will be up to the attorney. [01:41:43.960 --> 01:41:44.960] Sure. [01:41:44.960 --> 01:41:49.960] But at least you'll have somebody on call if and when that paperwork comes [01:41:49.960 --> 01:41:53.960] or those people show up, whichever way it works. [01:41:53.960 --> 01:41:54.960] Okay. [01:41:54.960 --> 01:41:55.960] Okay. [01:41:55.960 --> 01:42:00.960] So some of the things I've heard about, you know, and again, [01:42:00.960 --> 01:42:07.960] I've talked to a variety of different people in regards to how to respond to this in the event that it comes. [01:42:07.960 --> 01:42:12.960] And a lot of these people I've talked to are from, like I said, that sovereign patron community [01:42:12.960 --> 01:42:15.960] who have given me advice on how to handle myself. [01:42:15.960 --> 01:42:20.960] So what you're saying, you know, the minute that kind of comes out of my mouth, you said, [01:42:20.960 --> 01:42:23.960] you know, basically I'm looking at a jail cell. [01:42:23.960 --> 01:42:26.960] Yeah, because they're not going to fly in with that argument. [01:42:26.960 --> 01:42:27.960] Okay. [01:42:27.960 --> 01:42:30.960] The problem with the UCC argument is this. [01:42:30.960 --> 01:42:32.960] UCC is commercial. [01:42:32.960 --> 01:42:34.960] It's got nothing to do with criminal. [01:42:34.960 --> 01:42:38.960] And that's where they're coming at you from in this particular case is criminal. [01:42:38.960 --> 01:42:40.960] It's oil and water. [01:42:40.960 --> 01:42:42.960] They don't mix. [01:42:42.960 --> 01:42:44.960] Okay. [01:42:44.960 --> 01:42:50.960] Anybody that tells you different is selling you seminar material that doesn't work. [01:42:50.960 --> 01:42:51.960] Okay. [01:42:51.960 --> 01:42:55.960] Because it's not geared toward the venue that you're trying to use it in. [01:42:55.960 --> 01:42:56.960] Okay. [01:42:56.960 --> 01:42:58.960] It just isn't. [01:42:58.960 --> 01:43:04.960] So, you know, the argument about, you know, they can't come at you because there's not a harmed, [01:43:04.960 --> 01:43:05.960] an injured party. [01:43:05.960 --> 01:43:08.960] Well, now, that's something different. [01:43:08.960 --> 01:43:13.960] An injured party in this instance is easy enough to prove if they can show a fraud was committed [01:43:13.960 --> 01:43:20.960] because a fraud can only be committed if there is an injured party or the intent to create one. [01:43:20.960 --> 01:43:21.960] And who would be the injured party? [01:43:21.960 --> 01:43:22.960] The bank? [01:43:22.960 --> 01:43:27.960] Whoever invested money, they shouldn't have lost. [01:43:27.960 --> 01:43:30.960] It really just depends upon the situation. [01:43:30.960 --> 01:43:34.960] But if anybody transferred anything in their possession upon the word [01:43:34.960 --> 01:43:40.960] and facts presented by another that were false, that's fraud. [01:43:40.960 --> 01:43:42.960] Okay. [01:43:42.960 --> 01:43:48.960] Okay, Stephen, thank you for the call. [01:43:48.960 --> 01:43:49.960] All right. [01:43:49.960 --> 01:43:51.960] So, folks, we're about to go to break, so hang in there. [01:43:51.960 --> 01:43:54.960] This is Rule of Law Radio, Eddie Craig, Deborah Stevens.

[01:46:45.960 --> 01:46:47.960] Mitchell, thanks for calling in. [01:46:47.960 --> 01:46:48.960] What is your question tonight? [01:46:48.960 --> 01:46:49.960] Hi, Deborah. [01:46:49.960 --> 01:46:50.960] Hi, Eddie. [01:46:50.960 --> 01:46:51.960] Hi. [01:46:51.960 --> 01:46:56.960] A follow-up from a question last Friday about this post-CSA issue, [01:46:56.960 --> 01:46:59.960] and I've got a nonrefundable ticket. [01:46:59.960 --> 01:47:00.960] Right. [01:47:00.960 --> 01:47:06.960] But I was unaware of sort of the tradition about having to be subject to, you know, [01:47:06.960 --> 01:47:12.960] unconstitutional, illegal, et cetera, invasive actions by the CSA. [01:47:12.960 --> 01:47:13.960] Right. [01:47:13.960 --> 01:47:20.960] So I'm trying to not have to wait until I actually have a harm done to me at the airport. [01:47:20.960 --> 01:47:24.960] Okay, Mitchell, I was going to go over this story on Thursday, [01:47:24.960 --> 01:47:27.960] and I will go over it in detail on Thursday. [01:47:27.960 --> 01:47:28.960] There's not time tonight. [01:47:28.960 --> 01:47:29.960] Tonight was traffic night. [01:47:29.960 --> 01:47:33.960] But I will just briefly go over the situation. [01:47:33.960 --> 01:47:38.960] There's a gentleman named Johnny Hedge who basically this happened to him. [01:47:38.960 --> 01:47:40.960] He had a non- this was over the weekend. [01:47:40.960 --> 01:47:41.960] This was on Saturday. [01:47:41.960 --> 01:47:44.960] He flew out of San Diego, or he was trying to fly out of San Diego. [01:47:44.960 --> 01:47:47.960] He bought a nonrefundable ticket from American Airlines. [01:47:47.960 --> 01:47:50.960] They pulled him out of the line for the naked body scanner. [01:47:50.960 --> 01:47:51.960] He said no. [01:47:51.960 --> 01:47:53.960] And they said, well, you're going to have to be padded down. [01:47:53.960 --> 01:47:58.960] And they explained to him the new procedures of the crotch open-handed palm, [01:47:58.960 --> 01:48:03.960] you know, open palms crotch grabbing now and breast grabbing for the women too. [01:48:03.960 --> 01:48:06.960] And he said, no, you're not going to do that to me either. [01:48:06.960 --> 01:48:13.960] And, well, basically to make a long story short, after a brouhaha, he was escorted out. [01:48:13.960 --> 01:48:15.960] They said, well, you can't fly. [01:48:15.960 --> 01:48:19.960] And so he said, well, then you can escort me past the ticket counter on the way out [01:48:19.960 --> 01:48:21.960] because I'm going to try to get my money back. [01:48:21.960 --> 01:48:24.960] And American Airlines gave him his money back. [01:48:24.960 --> 01:48:26.960] And so that happened. [01:48:26.960 --> 01:48:34.960] Now after that, TSA tried to detain him again saying that he needed to go back [01:48:34.960 --> 01:48:38.960] and finish the screening process because once you start into the security area, [01:48:38.960 --> 01:48:41.960] once you start the screening process, you have to finish it. [01:48:41.960 --> 01:48:44.960] And he said, no, I am not going to go through the screening process [01:48:44.960 --> 01:48:46.960] as a condition of leaving the airport. [01:48:46.960 --> 01:48:51.960] And, you know, basically said, are you going to have me arrested if I attempt to leave? [01:48:51.960 --> 01:48:53.960] And they said, well, no, we're just trying to help you [01:48:53.960 --> 01:48:57.960] because you could be subject to a $10,000 fine and a lawsuit [01:48:57.960 --> 01:49:00.960] if you leave the airport without completing the screening process. [01:49:00.960 --> 01:49:04.960] And he basically told him to shove it and said, bring the lawsuit. [01:49:04.960 --> 01:49:10.960] And so I guess just my short answer to you for now is go ahead and try to get on the plane. [01:49:10.960 --> 01:49:13.960] And if they try to make you go through the naked body scanner, [01:49:13.960 --> 01:49:14.960] you say no. [01:49:14.960 --> 01:49:18.960] If they want to grab your cross, you say no and say I'm not going to, [01:49:18.960 --> 01:49:20.960] I guess I'm going to have to leave the airport. [01:49:20.960 --> 01:49:22.960] I guess I'm not going to be able to get on my plane. [01:49:22.960 --> 01:49:25.960] Please escort me to the ticket counter so I can get my money back. [01:49:25.960 --> 01:49:33.960] And then you'll be able to sue TSA at that point for violating your right to travel. [01:49:33.960 --> 01:49:38.960] And I saw that story also and I'm aware American gave him a refund. [01:49:38.960 --> 01:49:41.960] For reasons I won't go into now because there's not enough time, [01:49:41.960 --> 01:49:47.960] but I'm not really in a situation where I can do that because I've got to be somewhere at a certain time. [01:49:47.960 --> 01:49:51.960] So I'm really trying to avoid having to get into all of that. [01:49:51.960 --> 01:49:58.960] So what I'm thinking is if there is a demonstrable cause of action that can be, [01:49:58.960 --> 01:50:07.960] for lack of a better word, threatened at this time to ultimately take a lot or file for a lawsuit, [01:50:07.960 --> 01:50:13.960] preemptively I don't think so. [01:50:13.960 --> 01:50:19.960] You have to have suffered a harm in order to have a standing to file a lawsuit. [01:50:19.960 --> 01:50:24.960] And the fact is you haven't suffered a harm yet and even if you went to the airport, [01:50:24.960 --> 01:50:30.960] you may not suffer a harm because right now they're not requiring everyone to go through these scanners and pat-downs. [01:50:30.960 --> 01:50:37.960] It's only, you know, they just pull out certain people so you can't really file a lawsuit if you haven't suffered a harm. [01:50:37.960 --> 01:50:45.960] And actually what's sort of even more ugly about this situation is I think in Austin here they don't yet have the scanners, [01:50:45.960 --> 01:50:47.960] the full body scanners at the airport. [01:50:47.960 --> 01:50:50.960] I called over today and they at least said that they don't. [01:50:50.960 --> 01:50:57.960] But the state that I'm going to, the airport there, does have them in some locations and I'm not very comfortable. [01:50:57.960 --> 01:51:04.960] Like I know at least in Texas' Constitution, you know, it repeats the Fourth Amendment in our Constitution, [01:51:04.960 --> 01:51:11.960] our Texas Constitution, so I'm pretty comfortable that, you know, here it definitely is unconstitutional on the state level, [01:51:11.960 --> 01:51:14.960] but I'm not so comfortable about that in this other state. [01:51:14.960 --> 01:51:16.960] Well, it would be federal. [01:51:16.960 --> 01:51:26.960] Well, but yeah, but sort of getting an action in a federal court is not something I really want to do at this point [01:51:26.960 --> 01:51:30.960] or I'm more comfortable doing it on the state level. [01:51:30.960 --> 01:51:37.960] You may have to if you plan on suing TSA, you'd have to sue in federal court. [01:51:37.960 --> 01:51:41.960] You can't sue a federal entity in state court. [01:51:41.960 --> 01:51:50.960] Yeah, actually what I was trying to sort of configure a way to do was to actually sue the airline for not having disclosed to me [01:51:50.960 --> 01:51:58.960] in order to engage in commerce with them that they did not disclose to me that I'd have to go through something unconstitutional. [01:51:58.960 --> 01:52:09.960] So that's sort of the take or the twist I'm hoping to be able to find some way to do and then actually go after the airline and not the TSA. [01:52:09.960 --> 01:52:15.960] Well, Mitchell, what I would suggest at this point, if you think that you can safely get on the plane in Austin, [01:52:15.960 --> 01:52:23.960] if you're concerned about getting home, call around to different airports that are in different cities that are within a reasonable [01:52:23.960 --> 01:52:31.960] driving distance of your destination and see if you can find an airport that is a safe airport to return and then call up the airline [01:52:31.960 --> 01:52:38.960] and say you want to change the routing of your flight even though it's a non-refundable ticket and explain to them why [01:52:38.960 --> 01:52:47.960] and they might let you, since you're not asking for your money back, since you're just asking to change the destination, [01:52:47.960 --> 01:52:50.960] they might let you change the ticket. [01:52:50.960 --> 01:52:59.960] You may have to pay a little bit more or something or you may have to pay a $50 change of reservation fee or something. [01:52:59.960 --> 01:53:01.960] Jerry and I were talking about this last night. [01:53:01.960 --> 01:53:04.960] It's like how are we going to go anywhere anymore? [01:53:04.960 --> 01:53:09.960] It's like they're really, really closing all the loopholes here for us, so to speak. [01:53:09.960 --> 01:53:16.960] They're closing in the mesh and, you know, if we want to fly anywhere, we've got to call around and find safe airports to fly in [01:53:16.960 --> 01:53:20.960] and out of that are within reasonable driving distances. [01:53:20.960 --> 01:53:22.960] So that would be my suggestion right now. [01:53:22.960 --> 01:53:31.960] Yeah, it just seems really unreasonable or sort of collusionable that an airline is sort of casting on the information that, [01:53:31.960 --> 01:53:37.960] you know, you cannot get on our plane unless you suggest yourself to this. [01:53:37.960 --> 01:53:44.960] Well, see, they may have already disclosed it because if it's part of the contract when you buy a ticket [01:53:44.960 --> 01:53:53.960] that you have to comply with TSA security policy, then you've already agreed to that contract. [01:53:53.960 --> 01:54:01.960] Again, until at this point you haven't suffered a harm yet because you haven't even stepped foot in the airport. [01:54:01.960 --> 01:54:10.960] And there's no sort of precedent for or precedent for a not or realizing that something could happen [01:54:10.960 --> 01:54:17.960] and, you know, finding some way to like get an injunction to prevent that from happening? [01:54:17.960 --> 01:54:19.960] I don't think so. [01:54:19.960 --> 01:54:28.960] We should talk about it with Randy some more on Thursday night, but I don't think so because nothing has happened to you yet. [01:54:28.960 --> 01:54:35.960] And like I said, right now it's not a requirement that every single person either get patted down [01:54:35.960 --> 01:54:38.960] or go through the naked body scanners. [01:54:38.960 --> 01:54:40.960] It's only certain people that get pulled out of line. [01:54:40.960 --> 01:54:44.960] So you can't really say that you know for sure you would be harmed. [01:54:44.960 --> 01:54:51.960] I don't think that's true, Debra, from what I've heard is where they have the full body scanners, if you opt out, [01:54:51.960 --> 01:54:55.960] like you've heard those other stories like that Lady Meg from... [01:54:55.960 --> 01:55:02.960] Yes, yes, I know, but the point that I'm trying to make is you don't know for sure that you would be chosen [01:55:02.960 --> 01:55:05.960] and pulled out of the line to go through the naked body scanner. [01:55:05.960 --> 01:55:08.960] I don't know, but what I'm saying is if they've got a naked body scanner, [01:55:08.960 --> 01:55:13.960] then you either A, go through the naked body scanner or B, get grossed. [01:55:13.960 --> 01:55:19.960] If you are chosen to get pulled out of the metal detector line to go through one of those, [01:55:19.960 --> 01:55:27.960] what I'm trying to say is not every single passenger is required to either go through the naked body scanner [01:55:27.960 --> 01:55:28.960] or get patted down. [01:55:28.960 --> 01:55:32.960] Right now it's only certain people that they're pulling out of the line. [01:55:32.960 --> 01:55:39.960] Now if the way it's stood right now is that every single person who wants to get on a plane [01:55:39.960 --> 01:55:42.960] has to either get patted down or go through the naked body scanner, [01:55:42.960 --> 01:55:43.960] no exceptions. [01:55:43.960 --> 01:55:46.960] If that was the case right now, you might have an argument, [01:55:46.960 --> 01:55:52.960] but you don't know for sure that you would get pulled out of the line and be fit. [01:55:52.960 --> 01:55:55.960] I understand what the current situation is, and maybe I'm wrong. [01:55:55.960 --> 01:55:56.960] No, no, no. [01:55:56.960 --> 01:55:59.960] It is not a requirement for every single passenger. [01:55:59.960 --> 01:56:06.960] Just because the naked body scanners are in an airport does not mean every single passenger has to go through it. [01:56:06.960 --> 01:56:08.960] It's only certain people that are pulled out of the line, [01:56:08.960 --> 01:56:12.960] and you don't know that you would be one of the ones that get pulled out of the line. [01:56:12.960 --> 01:56:14.960] But listen, let's talk about this some more on Thursday night, [01:56:14.960 --> 01:56:17.960] because Michael from Maryland has been holding for like 45 minutes, [01:56:17.960 --> 01:56:22.960] and I was going to cover this story and I was going to cover this issue in depth on Thursday. [01:56:22.960 --> 01:56:23.960] That sounds great. [01:56:23.960 --> 01:56:24.960] Okay, thanks, Mitchell. [01:56:24.960 --> 01:56:26.960] Okay, we only got a couple minutes left. [01:56:26.960 --> 01:56:29.960] We're going now to Michael in Maryland. [01:56:29.960 --> 01:56:32.960] Michael in Maryland, we only got a couple of minutes. [01:56:32.960 --> 01:56:33.960] What is your question, quickly? [01:56:33.960 --> 01:56:34.960] Thank you, Deborah. [01:56:34.960 --> 01:56:43.960] Eddie, could you, or Deborah, tell me how would you begin to get some sense for where to find causes of action? [01:56:43.960 --> 01:56:45.960] You mentioned in Texas, it's O'Connor's. [01:56:45.960 --> 01:56:53.960] It came as a surprise to me when you mentioned what seemed like five different types of potential nature and causes, [01:56:53.960 --> 01:56:57.960] equity and civil possibly being considered the same. [01:56:57.960 --> 01:57:01.960] So I'm suddenly finding myself confused and a little off balance. [01:57:01.960 --> 01:57:03.960] Where would I go to find that, as far as you know? [01:57:03.960 --> 01:57:04.960] I mean, where would I even begin? [01:57:04.960 --> 01:57:06.960] Well, now we're talking about two different things here. [01:57:06.960 --> 01:57:16.960] Causes of action is something that someone has the right under law to sue another individual or entity because of. [01:57:16.960 --> 01:57:17.960] Right. [01:57:17.960 --> 01:57:27.960] Under nature and cause, this is when the state or a city or some governmental entity moves against an individual or a business. [01:57:27.960 --> 01:57:30.960] So consistently, nature and cause, that's what that is describing, right? [01:57:30.960 --> 01:57:31.960] Correct. [01:57:31.960 --> 01:57:32.960] Oh, okay. [01:57:32.960 --> 01:57:35.960] So you're saying O'Connor's tackles that in Texas? [01:57:35.960 --> 01:57:42.960] It tackles it as far as where can an individual or a company sue another individual or company. [01:57:42.960 --> 01:57:43.960] Oh. [01:57:43.960 --> 01:57:44.960] Okay. [01:57:44.960 --> 01:57:47.960] That's what that means by causes of action in that regard. [01:57:47.960 --> 01:57:49.960] Those are torts, civil torts. [01:57:49.960 --> 01:57:50.960] Right. [01:57:50.960 --> 01:57:51.960] Okay. [01:57:51.960 --> 01:57:56.960] Nature and cause has to do with I'm being charged with something. [01:57:56.960 --> 01:57:59.960] Well, am I being charged with a criminal act, a civil act? [01:57:59.960 --> 01:58:02.960] What kind of act is the government charging me with? [01:58:02.960 --> 01:58:03.960] Yeah. [01:58:02.960 --> 01:58:03.960] Okay. [01:58:03.960 --> 01:58:04.960] Thanks. [01:58:04.960 --> 01:58:05.960] I'll go back and look in the archives. [01:58:05.960 --> 01:58:06.960] Thank you both for all you do. [01:58:06.960 --> 01:58:07.960] Bye. [01:58:06.960 --> 01:58:07.960] Yes, sir. [01:58:07.960 --> 01:58:08.960] Okay. [01:58:08.960 --> 01:58:09.960] Thank you. [01:58:09.960 --> 01:58:12.960] And call back in on Thursday if you have more questions, Michael. [01:58:12.960 --> 01:58:13.960] All right. [01:58:13.960 --> 01:58:19.960] We'll be covering this TSA issue in more in-depth on Thursday. [01:58:19.960 --> 01:58:24.960] The whole country is in an uproar over it. [01:58:24.960 --> 01:58:29.960] There's a national opt-out day on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, we'll be going over that. [01:58:29.960 --> 01:58:35.960] And hopefully we'll be having some special guests on the show coming up soon concerning this issue. [01:58:35.960 --> 01:58:38.960] This is the rule of law. [01:58:38.960 --> 01:58:41.960] Randy Kelton, Eddie Craig, Deborah Stevens. [01:58:41.960 --> 01:58:43.960] We will be back on Thursday night. [01:58:43.960 --> 01:58:48.960] Tomorrow night is INN World Report Radio and, of course, Agenda 21 Talk. [01:58:48.960 --> 01:58:56.960] Wednesday night is brand new show, Truth Exposed Radio with Matt Medina and Cody Hess from We Are Change San Antonio. [01:58:56.960 --> 01:59:19.960] We'll see y'all on Thursday. [01:59:26.960 --> 01:59:51.960] We'll see y'all on Thursday. [01:59:51.960 --> 01:59:57.960] We'll see y'all on Thursday.
