[00:50.560 --> 00:52.080]  And now the news.
[00:52.080 --> 00:56.120]  We start today's news with an update on the case of Adam Kokesh, a Liberty activist who
[00:56.120 --> 01:00.960]  was arrested on firearms charges after posting a video on July 4th showing himself loading
[01:00.960 --> 01:03.720]  and cocking a shotgun in Washington, D.C.
[01:03.720 --> 01:07.040]  Here's The Liberty Beat's newest writer, Brian Hagan, with the story.
[01:07.040 --> 01:10.800]  Kokesh has, after two months, been released from solitary confinement.
[01:10.800 --> 01:15.880]  That word from Kokesh spokesman, Jeffrey Phillips, who says the transfer happened this past weekend
[01:15.880 --> 01:21.860]  with Kokesh moved to the general population of a lower-level security wing of the jail.
[01:21.860 --> 01:26.020]  Kokesh is now allowed to use the phone, a right he had been denied, but visitation remains
[01:26.020 --> 01:27.480]  questionable.
[01:27.480 --> 01:31.720]  Phillips says Kokesh's mother, who lives in California but traveled to meet her son, was
[01:31.720 --> 01:34.560]  turned away by jail administration.
[01:34.560 --> 01:39.280]  Kokesh's team is working to see that change, sending a fax requesting visitation, but have
[01:39.280 --> 01:41.800]  so far received no response.
[01:41.800 --> 01:46.120]  Phone calls to the jail requesting to speak with Kokesh have been met with busy signals,
[01:46.120 --> 01:48.360]  a fax machine tone, and hang-ups.
[01:48.360 --> 01:54.280]  Meanwhile, Phillips confirms that the Kokesh-created Adam vs. the Man Internet program is on hiatus
[01:54.280 --> 01:58.840]  from its usual format, but corresponding content is still being generated.
[01:58.840 --> 02:02.480]  I'm Brian Hagan reporting for the Liberty Beat.
[02:02.480 --> 02:08.880]  A controversial push to bring a militarized vehicle onto the streets of Concord, New Hampshire,
[02:08.880 --> 02:10.360]  is continuing.
[02:10.360 --> 02:14.240]  The Concord City Council Monday night is expected to make a decision on how to proceed with
[02:14.240 --> 02:15.240]  the proposal.
[02:15.240 --> 02:20.160]  The $260,000 cost of the Bearcat Armored Personnel Carrier would be funded by a Department of
[02:20.160 --> 02:22.160]  Homeland Security federal grant.
[02:22.160 --> 02:25.840]  It was the wording of that grant that led to much of the controversy, with the application
[02:25.840 --> 02:30.040]  implying that members of New Hampshire's Libertarian Three-State Project and Occupy New Hampshire
[02:30.040 --> 02:32.800]  could be potential domestic terrorists.
[02:32.800 --> 02:36.800]  Last month, following protests both outside and inside the council's chambers, the issue
[02:36.800 --> 02:37.800]  was tabled.
[02:37.800 --> 02:41.920]  Prior to the council's decision, testimony from 50 persons was heard, with only four
[02:41.920 --> 02:44.400]  speaking in favor of the Bearcat.
[02:44.400 --> 02:47.920]  Support for the Liberty Beat comes from Carmacazi Productions, the production house bringing
[02:47.920 --> 02:52.320]  you Sovereign Living to show, specializing in high-quality audio recording and video
[02:52.320 --> 02:55.320]  production for the Liberty Movement, online at carmacazi.tv.
[02:55.320 --> 03:24.400]  Really, man, come on, 6 o'clock news, say somebody's been shot, somebody's been fused,
[03:24.400 --> 03:28.040]  somebody's tried, somebody weep, everybody blew up a building, somebody totally called
[03:28.040 --> 03:41.280]  somebody, got he weep, somebody didn't get too far, yeah, didn't get too far.
[03:41.280 --> 03:46.280]  When a man had to answer for the weed that he'd done
[03:46.280 --> 03:50.280]  He'd take all the rope in Texas by the tall old tree
[03:50.280 --> 03:56.280]  Round up all of them bad boys and hang them high on the street
[03:56.280 --> 04:00.280]  For all the people to see
[04:00.280 --> 04:04.280]  That's just as one thing you should always find
[04:04.280 --> 04:08.280]  You've got to settle up your boys, you've got to draw a hard line
[04:08.280 --> 04:12.280]  When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune
[04:12.280 --> 04:16.280]  And we'll all be back at the local smooth
[04:16.280 --> 04:21.280]  We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces singing
[04:21.280 --> 04:26.280]  Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses
[04:28.280 --> 04:30.280]  Alright folks, good evening
[04:30.280 --> 04:33.280]  This is Rule of Law Radio's Bundy Night Traffic Show
[04:33.280 --> 04:35.280]  And this is your host, Eddie Craig
[04:35.280 --> 04:39.280]  It is September 9th, 2013
[04:39.280 --> 04:43.280]  Just a couple of more days until the September 11th anniversary
[04:43.280 --> 04:46.280]  And look at where it's taking us now
[04:46.280 --> 04:49.280]  We've got another idiot in charge
[04:49.280 --> 04:53.280]  That is going to lead us to World War III if we aren't really, really careful
[04:53.280 --> 04:57.280]  Alright, there's some things I want to talk about tonight
[04:57.280 --> 05:00.280]  Dealing with something I am working on
[05:00.280 --> 05:06.280]  And it has to do with basically how our legislature here in Texas
[05:06.280 --> 05:13.280]  And our courts have tried to federalize the Texas Bill of Rights
[05:13.280 --> 05:20.280]  And the Texas Constitution in such a way as to nullify it by all appearances
[05:20.280 --> 05:23.280]  So what I'd like to do tonight is cover some of that
[05:23.280 --> 05:28.280]  And get you started in a study that I hope you will continue on your own
[05:28.280 --> 05:35.280]  To come to an understanding about exactly what is being done here and now
[05:35.280 --> 05:42.280]  Now, I've backtracked to when a certain enactment took place in Texas
[05:42.280 --> 05:48.280]  It was the 53rd legislature in 1965
[05:48.280 --> 05:55.280]  That took us away from the gold and silver requirement to pay debts
[05:55.280 --> 06:03.280]  By instituting a requirement of all places, the Code of Criminal Procedure
[06:03.280 --> 06:14.280]  And declared that all fines and fees must be paid in lawful money of the United States
[06:14.280 --> 06:17.280]  Now why is that a problem?
[06:17.280 --> 06:25.280]  Well, first of all, the only lawful money in the United States of America
[06:25.280 --> 06:34.280]  And the only thing by which the states of that union are allowed to pay a debt
[06:34.280 --> 06:39.280]  Is with gold and silver coin
[06:39.280 --> 06:44.280]  Alright, now, it's not called money
[06:44.280 --> 06:49.280]  It's called legal tender
[06:49.280 --> 06:54.280]  When it's gold and silver coin, it's legal tender for a debt
[06:54.280 --> 07:00.280]  Money is what they're calling the dollar, which is a legal fiction
[07:00.280 --> 07:05.280]  It's not real, it has nothing backing it of any value
[07:05.280 --> 07:11.280]  Except the worthless word of an unscrupulous corrupt politician
[07:11.280 --> 07:17.280]  Who is stealing you blind to pay the debt he creates
[07:17.280 --> 07:20.280]  You got that?
[07:20.280 --> 07:26.280]  So there's nothing behind the lawful money of the United States
[07:26.280 --> 07:31.280]  And the lawful money is debt instruments, Federal Reserve notes
[07:31.280 --> 07:37.280]  So the Texas legislature sold us out in terms to an honest weights and measures system
[07:37.280 --> 07:44.280]  As far as our legal tender goes in 1965
[07:44.280 --> 07:49.280]  Now they actually did that in two codes, the code of criminal procedure
[07:49.280 --> 07:56.280]  And this one, I find kind of odd, but in a way not unexpected
[07:56.280 --> 08:00.280]  The insurance code
[08:00.280 --> 08:07.280]  The same declaration is made in both of those codes
[08:07.280 --> 08:17.280]  Okay, now here's the problem with using a dollar to pay a debt
[08:17.280 --> 08:20.280]  It's a legal impossibility
[08:20.280 --> 08:23.280]  It cannot be done
[08:23.280 --> 08:33.280]  You cannot pay one debt with an IOU from another debt
[08:33.280 --> 08:36.280]  That's idiocy, it can't be done
[08:36.280 --> 08:42.280]  The debt's never paid, it's just swapped around
[08:42.280 --> 08:45.280]  It's shuffled
[08:45.280 --> 08:52.280]  Now if you want to know why there's never been an audit on Fort Knox, well let's look at rational reality
[08:52.280 --> 08:57.280]  Because there isn't anything in Fort Knox to audit
[08:57.280 --> 09:04.280]  Most likely if you go into Fort Knox, you're going to find what for a while became a huge story
[09:04.280 --> 09:13.280]  And that was the fact that there was hollow gold bars, ingots, whatever you want to call it of all types
[09:13.280 --> 09:16.280]  They were being shipped around the world
[09:16.280 --> 09:21.280]  But when the people that got their hands on them would check them, something wasn't right
[09:21.280 --> 09:27.280]  So they cut a few of them in half and found out that the gold they were getting was hollow
[09:27.280 --> 09:34.280]  And instead the insides were filled with tungsten
[09:34.280 --> 09:40.280]  So where has all the gold itself actually gone?
[09:40.280 --> 09:49.280]  Well, I'm sure if you look in the private vaults of these seven families that own everything, we'd probably find it
[09:49.280 --> 09:53.280]  So let me make a suggestion
[09:53.280 --> 10:00.280]  Since these people have taken it upon themselves to sell everything that was never theirs
[10:00.280 --> 10:06.280]  That means you, me, our property, our national property, our state property
[10:06.280 --> 10:15.280]  Out from under us the people to whom it rightfully belongs without our consent, knowledge, or anything else
[10:15.280 --> 10:18.280]  Why should we allow them to get away with that?
[10:18.280 --> 10:24.280]  They incurred that debt, they did it over our objection most of the time
[10:24.280 --> 10:32.280]  How can we be made to be liable for a debt some moron created himself?
[10:32.280 --> 10:35.280]  So here's my suggestion
[10:35.280 --> 10:42.280]  Let's take all of their private holdings and the persons themselves
[10:42.280 --> 10:46.280]  And ship them to the country they incurred the debt with
[10:46.280 --> 10:50.280]  Okay, here, you bought and paid for them
[10:50.280 --> 10:53.280]  You don't get what they didn't have the right to sell though, no problem
[10:53.280 --> 10:59.280]  You don't get America, you don't get to own it because they never had the right to sell it
[10:59.280 --> 11:04.280]  What they did to you was fraud, just like what they did to us was fraud
[11:04.280 --> 11:14.280]  And nobody gets a profit from a fraud, not even the person that was, you know, gullible enough to purchase the fraud
[11:14.280 --> 11:20.280]  They're responsible, take it out on them
[11:20.280 --> 11:25.280]  I would like to see how that turns out, tell you the truth
[11:25.280 --> 11:28.280]  But anyway, that's just part of what I want to talk about tonight
[11:28.280 --> 11:31.280]  The money is where it began, okay?
[11:31.280 --> 11:38.280]  Without that honest systems of weights and measures, neither the state or federal constitution could survive
[11:38.280 --> 11:46.280]  Because everything it did was reliant upon a proper system of government with an honest system of money
[11:46.280 --> 11:50.280]  And an honest economy and an honest everything else
[11:50.280 --> 12:01.280]  Which in case you are already dead, you would have to see by now we absolutely don't have
[12:01.280 --> 12:09.280]  And every day it becomes harder and harder to re-obtain it
[12:09.280 --> 12:12.280]  So where does that leave us?
[12:12.280 --> 12:18.280]  Well, let me show you one of the reasons why that sellout was necessary
[12:18.280 --> 12:23.280]  Because if things were not based on a dishonest system of weights and measures
[12:23.280 --> 12:30.280]  They would still have to be abiding by the constitutional principles that we the people established for them to follow
[12:30.280 --> 12:35.280]  And in case you are still dead, they're not even close to doing that
[12:35.280 --> 12:41.280]  And what I'm going to do right now is I'm going to prove to you that they're not doing that
[12:41.280 --> 12:48.280]  And I'm going to make you mad, especially if you live in Texas and you're listening and you're not brain dead
[12:48.280 --> 12:52.280]  I am going to make you mad, then I'm going to make you madder
[12:52.280 --> 12:58.280]  And then I hope I am going to piss you off so much that the next face you see
[12:58.280 --> 13:03.280]  Will be the guy that supposedly represents you in the Texas legislature
[13:03.280 --> 13:09.280]  And he will be turning purple from your hands around his throat or her throat or whatever needs to be done
[13:09.280 --> 13:15.280]  But the point is they're responsible for this, whether they care to admit to it or not
[13:15.280 --> 13:23.280]  When they assume the duty of the legislature, it became their duty to understand what had been done
[13:23.280 --> 13:29.280]  In order to determine what needs to be done
[13:29.280 --> 13:38.280]  Because until they understand what they actually are supposed to do, how are they ever going to do it and do it correctly?
[13:38.280 --> 13:42.280]  That is all on us to make them understand, folks
[13:42.280 --> 13:49.280]  When they step outside the lines that we drew in the sand for them to stay within, it's boxing time
[13:49.280 --> 13:53.280]  Isn't that the way you used to do it in school, step across that line and we're going to fight?
[13:53.280 --> 13:58.280]  Knock this chip off my shoulder and we're going to fight?
[13:58.280 --> 14:04.280]  You don't have to be a bully to make that ultimatum, you just have to know when you're right and refuse to back down
[14:04.280 --> 14:15.280]  And folks, what I'm about to show you is what's right, but we have still backed down
[14:15.280 --> 14:21.280]  And my question to each and every one of you is why?
[14:21.280 --> 14:30.280]  Why have you not taken the time to know for yourself who you are in relation to your public servants?
[14:30.280 --> 14:39.280]  Why haven't you taken it upon yourself to look around and say something is not right?
[14:39.280 --> 14:50.280]  I am being told A, but everywhere I look is B or F or H, but no A
[14:50.280 --> 14:54.280]  What's wrong with this picture?
[14:54.280 --> 15:04.280]  I mean, I've got an idea for something I might want to eventually get together with my co-developer there and do for Tao of Law
[15:04.280 --> 15:15.280]  I may put up a questionnaire survey up there to find out just how free you people really think you are
[15:15.280 --> 15:26.280]  Versus how many of you agree with the loss of freedoms that you actually suffer under every day and don't even realize?
[15:26.280 --> 15:35.280]  I think it would be a really interesting experiment to put the stuff up there and let you choose what you agree with and what you don't
[15:35.280 --> 15:41.280]  And then rate you on just how free you would actually be with those choices
[15:41.280 --> 15:46.280]  I think that would make a very interesting experiment
[15:46.280 --> 15:56.280]  Because I talk to people on a regular basis that will sit here and say, oh, yeah, man, I don't like the fact they want us to register our guns
[15:56.280 --> 16:05.280]  I think we ought to be able to do this and this, but I am glad they have a license to make you carry it where you're, you know, concealed
[16:05.280 --> 16:09.280]  Well, yeah, man, I get so tired of paying all these property taxes and everything else
[16:09.280 --> 16:14.280]  I mean, why am I forced to pay taxes for the school system when I homeschool my kids?
[16:14.280 --> 16:21.280]  I shouldn't have to do that. Why do I have to pay these taxes over here? I don't I don't partake in any of that
[16:21.280 --> 16:26.280]  Because it's all a lie and you do nothing about it
[16:26.280 --> 16:34.280]  You accept it, you whine, you moan, you complain, but you don't take any action
[16:34.280 --> 16:38.280]  No one does, not enough of us anyway
[16:38.280 --> 16:44.280]  Got to fix that, folks. So when we get back, Rob, I see you on the board, but partner, you're going to have to hang on there for a little bit
[16:44.280 --> 16:48.280]  Because I got some stuff I want to get out. So just hang on or you can call back in a little bit
[16:48.280 --> 16:55.280]  In the meantime, we're going to take a break and when we get back, I'm going to start into this material and we're going to get really upset
[16:55.280 --> 16:59.280]  We'll be right back, folks
[16:59.280 --> 17:06.280]  Through advances in technology, our lives have greatly improved, except in the area of nutrition
[17:06.280 --> 17:11.280]  People feed their pets better than they feed themselves, and it's time we changed all that
[17:11.280 --> 17:17.280]  Our primary defense against aging and disease in this toxic environment is good nutrition

[19:00.280 --> 19:05.280]  You are listening to the Logos Radio Network
[19:05.280 --> 19:08.280]  LogosRadioNetwork.com
[19:24.280 --> 19:27.280]  Alright folks, we are back. This is Rule of Law Radio
[19:27.280 --> 19:34.280]  Alright, now, what I want to get into is something within the Texas Constitution
[19:34.280 --> 19:41.280]  As it relates to the functions of our government for the process of creating law
[19:41.280 --> 19:45.280]  Now, I have gone into this before
[19:45.280 --> 19:51.280]  But what I want to do now is I want to take this information
[19:51.280 --> 19:58.280]  And I want to show you where it's being used to violate the Texas Constitution
[19:58.280 --> 20:03.280]  In every possible way
[20:03.280 --> 20:09.280]  There are things going on all over Texas, especially within the large cities
[20:09.280 --> 20:12.280]  And the smaller ones, but it's more rampant in the big cities
[20:12.280 --> 20:15.280]  Because they're more money starved
[20:15.280 --> 20:25.280]  But they are exercising a power and authority that under the actual provisions of the Texas Constitution
[20:25.280 --> 20:30.280]  They cannot possibly have
[20:30.280 --> 20:33.280]  And what I want to do is I'm going to walk through this
[20:33.280 --> 20:37.280]  And I'm going to give you specific things to look at
[20:37.280 --> 20:44.280]  And then I'm going to ask you a specific series of questions relating to the things that are going on
[20:44.280 --> 20:51.280]  And see if you can reconcile them with what I just showed you
[20:51.280 --> 20:57.280]  Okay, so that's where this little experiment is going to go this evening
[20:57.280 --> 21:05.280]  And what I want to do now is I want to start reading you some provisions out of the Texas Constitution
[21:05.280 --> 21:09.280]  And we're going to start in Article 3, Section 29, which deals with the legislature
[21:09.280 --> 21:12.280]  That's what Article 3 is
[21:12.280 --> 21:15.280]  And I want you to pay close attention to what this says
[21:15.280 --> 21:23.280]  This entire section I'm about to read deals with the enacting of law
[21:23.280 --> 21:29.280]  Okay, actual general law
[21:29.280 --> 21:31.280]  Now listen carefully
[21:31.280 --> 21:36.280]  Article 3, Section 29, enacting clause of laws
[21:36.280 --> 21:46.280]  The enacting clause of all laws shall be, be it enacted by the legislature of the state of Texas
[21:46.280 --> 21:54.280]  Section 30, laws passed by bill, amendments changing purpose
[21:54.280 --> 21:59.280]  No law shall be passed except by bill
[21:59.280 --> 22:08.280]  And no bill shall be so amended in its passage through either house as to change its original purpose
[22:08.280 --> 22:14.280]  Section 31, origination in either house, amendment
[22:14.280 --> 22:27.280]  Bills may originate in either house and, when passed by such house, may be amended, altered, or rejected by the other
[22:27.280 --> 22:35.280]  Section 32, reading on three several days, suspension of rule
[22:35.280 --> 22:48.280]  No bill shall have the force of a law until it has been read on three several days in each house and free discussion allowed thereon
[22:48.280 --> 23:04.280]  But four-fifths of the house in which the bill may be pending may suspend this rule, the yeas and nays being taken on the question of suspension and entered upon the journals
[23:04.280 --> 23:08.280]  Section 33, revenue bills
[23:08.280 --> 23:17.280]  All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the house of representatives
[23:17.280 --> 23:23.280]  Section 34, defeated bills and resolutions
[23:23.280 --> 23:41.280]  After a bill has been considered and defeated by either house of the legislature, no bill containing the same substance shall be passed into a law during the same session
[23:41.280 --> 23:53.280]  After a resolution has been acted on and defeated, no resolution containing the same substance shall be considered at the same session
[23:53.280 --> 23:58.280]  Section 35, subjects and titles of bills
[23:58.280 --> 24:16.280]  Subsection A, no bill, except general appropriation bills, which may embrace the various subjects and accounts, for and on account of which monies are apportioned, shall contain more than one subject
[24:16.280 --> 24:20.280]  Subsection B of 35
[24:20.280 --> 24:36.280]  The rules of procedure of each house shall require that the subject of each bill be expressed in its title in a manner that gives the legislature and the public reasonable notice of that subject
[24:36.280 --> 24:45.280]  The legislature is solely responsible for determining compliance with the rule
[24:45.280 --> 25:05.280]  Subsection C, a law, including a law enacted before the effective date of this subsection, may not be held void on the basis of an insufficient title
[25:05.280 --> 25:15.280]  Section 36, revival or amendment by reference, reenactment and publication at length
[25:15.280 --> 25:34.280]  No law shall be revived or amended by reference to its title, but in such case the act revived, or the section or sections amended, shall be reenacted and published at length
[25:34.280 --> 25:40.280]  Section 37, reference to committee and report
[25:40.280 --> 25:48.280]  No bill shall be considered unless it has been first referred to a committee and reported thereon
[25:48.280 --> 26:01.280]  And no bill shall be passed which has not been presented and referred to and reported from a committee at least three days before the final adjournment of the legislature
[26:01.280 --> 26:09.280]  Section 38, signing bills and joint resolutions, entry on journals
[26:09.280 --> 26:32.280]  The presiding officer of each house shall, in the presence of the house over which he presides, sign all bills and joint resolutions passed by the legislature, after their titles have been publicly read before signing, and the fact of signing shall be entered on the journals
[26:32.280 --> 26:40.280]  Section 39, time of taking effect of laws, emergencies, entry on journal
[26:40.280 --> 27:05.280]  No law passed by the legislature except the General Appropriation Act, shall take effect or go into force until ninety days after the adjournment of the section at which it was enacted, unless the legislature shall, by a vote of two-thirds of all members elected to each house, otherwise direct
[27:05.280 --> 27:13.280]  Said vote to be taken by yeas and nays and entered upon the journals
[27:13.280 --> 27:29.280]  Now notice one thing before I continue that that says, by a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, this is not two-thirds of a quorum, this is two-thirds of all the members elected
[27:29.280 --> 27:31.280]  Keep that in mind for later
[27:31.280 --> 27:38.280]  Section 40, special sessions, subjects of legislation, duration
[27:38.280 --> 28:03.280]  When the legislature shall be convened, there shall be no legislation upon subjects other than those designated in the proclamation of the governor calling such session, or presented to them by the governor, and no such session shall be of a longer duration than thirty days
[28:03.280 --> 28:09.280]  Section 41, elections by Senate and House of Representatives
[28:09.280 --> 28:22.280]  In all elections by the Senate and House of Representatives jointly or separately, the vote shall be given, viva vace, except in the election of their officers
[28:22.280 --> 28:26.280]  Section 43, revision of laws
[28:26.280 --> 28:49.280]  Subsection 8, the legislature shall provide for revising, digesting, and publishing the laws, civil and criminal, provided that in the adoption of and giving effect to any such digest or revision, the legislature shall not be limited by section 35 and 36 of this article
[28:49.280 --> 29:04.280]  Now, just in case you didn't remember what that is, that is, 35 it deals with the subjects and titles of the bill, and 36 is revival or reminement by reference, or reenactment and publication at length
[29:04.280 --> 29:07.280]  Subsection B of 43
[29:07.280 --> 29:25.280]  In this section, revision includes a revision of the statutes on a particular subject, and any enactment having the purpose declared in the enactment of codifying, without substantive change, statutes that individually relate to different subjects
[29:25.280 --> 29:39.280]  Section 44, compensation of public officers, servants, agents, contractors, extra compensation, we're not worried about 44, we're not dealing with how much they make, we want to talk about how law gets made
[29:39.280 --> 29:43.280]  So we'll be skipping a few of these down to the next section here when we get back
[29:43.280 --> 30:00.280]  Alright folks, this is Rule of Law Radio, this is your host Eddie Craig. Guys, I see you on the board, but I still got a little bit to go, so y'all please hang on. Anyway folks, listen in, we will be right back after this break
[30:00.280 --> 30:13.280]  Take a whiff of that. Onions may have a scrambling for breath mints, but they might also save our lives. I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht, and I'll be back in just a moment with some reasons to spice up your food with the power of onions
[30:13.280 --> 30:33.280]  Your search engine is watching you, recording all your searches, and creating a massive database of your personal information.

[30:43.280 --> 31:01.280]  An onion a day could keep the doctor away. Common onions are brimming with antioxidants that help fend off serious health problems. Studies have shown these chemicals can help protect against deadly cancers. They're also associated with a reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cataracts. But not all onions are created equal.
[31:01.280 --> 31:21.280]  Cornell University researchers say strong flavored varieties have the highest antioxidants and cancer protective properties. Those include the Western Yellow, the New York Bold, and Northern Red varieties. While mild and sweet onions like the Vidalia may be yummy, they contain fewer health boosting chemicals and offer a little protection against cancer.
[31:21.280 --> 31:30.280]  I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht. More news and information at CatherineAlbrecht.com.
[31:30.280 --> 31:45.280]  This is Building 7, a 47 story skyscraper that fell on the afternoon of September 11. The government says that fire brought it down. However, 1,500 architects and engineers have concluded it was a controlled demolition. Over 6,000 of my fellow service members have given their lives.
[31:45.280 --> 31:57.280]  Thousands of my fellow first responders are dying. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I'm a structural engineer. I'm a New York City correction officer. I'm an Air Force pilot. I'm a father who lost his son. We're Americans and we deserve the truth.
[31:57.280 --> 32:00.280]  Go to RememberBuilding7.org today.
[32:00.280 --> 32:04.280]  You feel tired when talking about important topics like money and politics?
[32:04.280 --> 32:05.280]  Sorry!
[32:05.280 --> 32:08.280]  Are you confused by words like the Constitution or the Federal Reserve?
[32:08.280 --> 32:09.280]  What?
[32:09.280 --> 32:25.280]  If so, you may be diagnosed with the deadliest disease known today, stupidity. Hi, my name is Steve Holt, and like millions of other Americans, I was diagnosed with stupidity at an early age. I had no idea that the number one cause of the disease is found in almost every home in America, the television.
[32:25.280 --> 32:36.280]  Unfortunately, that puts most Americans at risk of catching stupidity, but there is hope. The staff at Brave New Books have helped me and thousands of other Foxaholics suffering from sports zombieism recover.
[32:36.280 --> 32:55.280]  And because of Brave New Books, I now enjoy reading and watching educational documentaries without feeling tired or uninterested. So if you or anybody you know suffers from stupidity, then you need to call 512-480-2503 or visit them in 1904 Guadalupe or bravenewbookstore.com.
[32:55.280 --> 33:10.280]  Side effects from using Brave New Books products may include discernment and enlarged vocabulary and an overall increase in mental functioning.
[33:25.280 --> 33:38.280]  Okay.
[33:38.280 --> 33:43.280]  Hi folks, we are back. Let's get a little further down here.
[33:43.280 --> 34:05.280]  Okay. Now, the other place that we have a bit of a problem that I'm going to read next will be Section 49A, okay, of the Texas Constitution under Article III, Financial Statement and Estimate by Comptroller of Public Accounts, Limitation of Appropriations.
[34:05.280 --> 34:15.280]  Okay. Now, there is something here I want you to pay real close attention to because something here ain't quite right.
[34:15.280 --> 34:33.280]  Subsection A, it shall be the duty of the Comptroller of Public Accounts in advance of each regular session of the legislature to prepare and submit to the Governor and to the legislature upon its convening a statement under oath showing fully the financial condition of the State Treasury at the close of the last fiscal year and blah blah blah blah blah.
[34:33.280 --> 34:42.280]  Okay. So, this all deals with finances, right, under 49A. Except, let's look at 49A, Subsection B.
[34:42.280 --> 34:58.280]  Except, in the case of emergency, an imperative public necessity. Now, keep that right there in mind. That phrase, imperative public necessity.
[34:58.280 --> 35:12.280]  And with a four-fifths vote of the total members of each house, no appropriation in excess of the cash and anticipated revenue of the funds from which such appropriation is to be made shall be valid.
[35:12.280 --> 35:34.280]  Okay. No bill containing an appropriation shall be considered as passed or be sent to the Governor for consideration until and unless the Comptroller of Public Accounts endorses his certificate thereon showing that the amount appropriated is within the amount estimated to be available in the affected funds.
[35:34.280 --> 35:46.280]  Okay. Now, I want you to notice there are three conditions to the exception here in Subsection B. And I'm going to stop reading for a minute so I can get you to understand what we're looking at here.
[35:46.280 --> 36:07.280]  Under Subsection B, these are the following three conditions for the exceptions. Case of emergency and imperative public necessity and a four-fifths vote of the total membership of each house.
[36:07.280 --> 36:20.280]  Again, that's all elected members, not just the majority of a quorum. Four-fifths of the total membership of each house.
[36:20.280 --> 36:35.280]  That's the three things required to make an exception to the things mentioned in Subsection B here. But everything in Subsection B deals with appropriations.
[36:35.280 --> 36:51.280]  Okay. I want you to understand it. All of 49A deals with accounts and appropriation bills. Doesn't deal with anything else. You'll see in a minute why this becomes important.
[36:51.280 --> 37:12.280]  Now, when we get done with 49A, the next place we want to go look is Section 56. Okay. Section 56 under Title III is a list of things the legislature is forbidden to do in reference to local laws.
[37:12.280 --> 37:21.280]  Now, I'm not going to read all of them, but I'm going to read what 56 says, and then I'm going to read a couple of what's down here.
[37:21.280 --> 37:46.280]  Section 56, local and special laws, Subsection A. The legislature shall not, except as otherwise provided in this Constitution, pass any local or special law authorizing, one, the creation, extension, or impairing of liens.
[37:46.280 --> 37:58.280]  Two, regulating the affairs of counties, cities, towns, wards, or school districts.
[37:58.280 --> 38:05.280]  Five. I'm sorry, not five.
[38:05.280 --> 38:15.280]  Eleven, incorporating cities, towns, or villages, or changing their charters.
[38:15.280 --> 38:35.280]  Fourteen, creating offices or prescribing the powers and duties of officers in counties, cities, towns, election, or school districts.
[38:35.280 --> 38:40.280]  Okay.
[38:40.280 --> 38:45.280]  Let's see. Next one down.
[38:45.280 --> 39:04.280]  Thirty, relieving or discharging any person or set of persons from the performance of any public duty or service imposed by general law.
[39:04.280 --> 39:31.280]  Subsection B. In addition to these laws described by Subsection A of this section in all other cases where a general law can be made applicable, no local or special law shall be enacted, provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed to prohibit the legislature from passing, one,
[39:31.280 --> 39:47.280]  special laws for preservation of the game and fish of this state in certain localities, and two, fence laws applicable to any subdivision of this state or counties as may be needed to meet the wants of the people.
[39:47.280 --> 39:54.280]  Now those that I read out of Subsection A up there, those are going to be very important for our purpose of discussion here momentarily.
[39:54.280 --> 40:02.280]  Now let's look at Section 62 of Article 3.
[40:02.280 --> 40:13.280]  Section 62 is titled Continuity of State and Local Governmental Operations, Suspension of Constitutional Procedural Rules.
[40:13.280 --> 40:27.280]  Subsection A. The legislature, in order to ensure continuity of state and local governmental operations in periods of emergency resulting from disasters caused by enemy attack,
[40:27.280 --> 40:47.280]  shall have the power and the immediate duty to provide for prompt and temporary succession to the powers and duties of public offices of whatever nature, and whether filled by election or appointment, the incumbents of which may become unavailable for carrying on the powers and duties of such offices,
[40:47.280 --> 41:04.280]  provided, however, that Article 1 of the Constitution of Texas, known as the Bill of Rights, shall not be in any manner affected, amended, impaired, suspended, repealed, or suspended hereby.
[41:04.280 --> 41:09.280]  Subsection B of Section 62.
[41:09.280 --> 41:31.280]  When such a period of emergency or the immediate threat of enemy attack exists, now remember, period of emergency is declared as a result of disasters caused by an actual enemy attack, or in B, the immediate threat of enemy attack exists,
[41:31.280 --> 41:43.280]  the legislature may suspend procedural rules imposed by this Constitution that relate to, 1. the order of business of the legislature,
[41:43.280 --> 41:52.280]  2. the percentage of each house of the legislature necessary to constitute a quorum,
[41:52.280 --> 42:02.280]  3. the requirement that a bill must be read on three days in each house before it has the force of law,
[42:02.280 --> 42:12.280]  4. the requirement that a bill must be referred to and reported from committee before its consideration,
[42:12.280 --> 42:22.280]  and 5. the date on which laws passed by the legislature take effect. Subsection C.
[42:22.280 --> 42:45.280]  When such a period of emergency or the immediate threat of enemy attack exists, the governor, after consulting with the lieutenant governor and the speaker of the House of Representatives, may suspend the constitutional requirement that the legislature hold its sessions in Austin, the seat of government.
[42:45.280 --> 43:00.280]  When this requirement has been suspended, the governor shall determine a place other than Austin at which the legislature will hold its sessions during such period of emergency or immediate threat of enemy attack.
[43:00.280 --> 43:10.280]  The governor shall notify the lieutenant governor and the speaker of the House of Representatives of the place and time at which the legislature will meet.
[43:10.280 --> 43:20.280]  The governor may take security precautions consistent with the state of emergency in determining the extent to which that information may be released.
[43:20.280 --> 43:22.280]  D.
[43:22.280 --> 43:41.280]  To suspend the constitutional rules specified by subsection B of this section, the governor must issue a proclamation and the House of Representatives and the Senate must concur in the proclamation as provided by this section.
[43:41.280 --> 44:00.280]  All right, we have a few more of these to go for you to be exact and then we'll get on some discussion here. Guys, I still see you on the board. Please continue to hang on there. This is Rule of Law Radio. I am your host, Eddie Craig. We will be right back on the other side. So everybody listening. Don't go away. Bring a cop. Bring a lawyer.

[46:14.280 --> 46:18.280]  Alright folks, we are back. This is Rule of Law Radio.
[46:18.280 --> 46:25.280]  Alright, I'm going to finish up reading section 62 of article 3 in subsection E.
[46:25.280 --> 46:51.280]  Okay, the governor's proclamation must declare that a period of emergency resulting from disasters caused by enemy attack exists or that the immediate threat of enemy attack exists and that suspension of constitutional rules relating to legislative procedure is necessary to assure continuity of state government.
[46:51.280 --> 47:04.280]  The proclamation must specify the period not to exceed two years during which the constitutional rules specified by subsection B of this section are suspended.
[47:04.280 --> 47:33.280]  Subsection F, the House of Representatives and the Senate by concurrent resolution approved by the majority of the members present must concur in the governor's proclamation. A resolution of the House of Representatives and the Senate concurring in the governor's proclamation suspends the constitutional rules specified by subsection B of this section for the period of time specified by the governor's proclamation.
[47:33.280 --> 47:46.280]  G, the constitutional rules specified by subsection B of this section may not be suspended for more than two years under a single proclamation.
[47:46.280 --> 48:03.280]  A suspension may be renewed, however, if the governor issues another proclamation as provided by subsection E of this section and the House of Representatives and the Senate by concurrent resolution concur in that proclamation.
[48:03.280 --> 48:20.280]  Now, let's talk about why this is all important. And we do that by looking at Article 11 of the Texas Constitution, which is titled Municipal Corporations.
[48:20.280 --> 48:39.280]  Now, one of the first places I want you to look under Article 11 is Section 4. Cities and towns with population of 5,000 or less chartered by general law, taxes, fines, forfeitures, and penalties.
[48:39.280 --> 48:54.280]  Cities and towns having a population of 5,000 or less may be chartered alone by general law. They may levy, assess, and collect such taxes as may be authorized by law,
[48:54.280 --> 49:10.280]  but no tax for any purpose shall ever be lawful for any one year, which shall exceed one and one-half percent of the taxable property of such city, and all taxes shall be collectible only in current money,
[49:10.280 --> 49:24.280]  and all licenses and occupation taxes levied, and all fines, forfeitures, and penalties accruing to said cities and towns shall be collectible only in current money.
[49:24.280 --> 49:48.280]  That was put in and are amended in 1909 and, I'm sorry, it was put in in 1909 and amended in 1920. Now, let's look at Section 5. Cities of more than 5,000 population, adoption or amendment of charters, taxes, debt restrictions.
[49:48.280 --> 50:03.280]  Subsection A. Cities having more than 5,000 inhabitants may, by a majority vote of the qualified voters of said city at an election held for that purpose, adopt or amend their charters.
[50:03.280 --> 50:22.280]  If the number of inhabitants of cities that have adopted or amended their charters under this section is reduced to 5,000 or fewer, the cities still may amend their charters by a majority vote of the qualified voters of said city at an election held for that purpose.
[50:22.280 --> 50:46.280]  The adoption or amendment of charters is subject to such limitations as may be prescribed by the legislature, and no charter or any ordinance passed under said charter shall contain any provision inconsistent with the constitution of the state or of the general laws enacted by the legislature of this state.
[50:46.280 --> 51:15.280]  Said cities may levy, assess, and collect such taxes as may be authorized by law or by their charters, but no tax for any purpose shall ever be lawful for any one year which shall exceed two and one half percent of the taxable property of such city and no debt shall ever be created by any city unless at the same time provision be made to assess and collect annually a sufficient sum to pay the interest thereof.
[51:15.280 --> 51:30.280]  And creating a sinking fund of at least two percent thereon, except as provided by subsection B. Furthermore, no city charter shall be altered, amended, or repealed oftener than every two years.
[51:30.280 --> 51:50.280]  Subsection B. To increase efficiency and effectiveness to the greatest extent possible, the legislature may by general law authorize cities to enter into interlocal contracts with other cities or counties without meeting the assessment and sinking fund requirements under subsection A.
[51:50.280 --> 51:56.280]  All right, folks, let's talk about trouble on the hoof for a little bit.
[51:56.280 --> 52:14.280]  Now, you will notice that Article 5 specifically says that the legislature may authorize a municipality to levy, assess, and collect such taxes as may be authorized by law or by their charters.
[52:14.280 --> 52:29.280]  In case you didn't know, there is case law in Texas that specifically says that no home rule city can exercise any power that is not explicitly stated in its charter.
[52:29.280 --> 52:38.280]  If it's not in the city charter of a home rule city, the authority to do it does not exist.
[52:38.280 --> 52:44.280]  And remember, the case law said it has to be explicitly stated in the charter.
[52:44.280 --> 52:47.280]  Folks, the city of Austin has a police force.
[52:47.280 --> 52:54.280]  And when we say force, we don't take that term lightly here in Austin, considering how they abuse it.
[52:54.280 --> 53:06.280]  But the fact is, there is zero explicit authority in the Austin municipal charter for a police department or a police force of any kind.
[53:06.280 --> 53:08.280]  It doesn't exist.
[53:08.280 --> 53:24.280]  This makes the Austin police department a bunch of glorified security guards that have been given the authority to use force in the name of a governmental entity of which they cannot possibly be a part.
[53:24.280 --> 53:26.280]  That's a problem.
[53:26.280 --> 53:30.280]  And it's one of many created by Article 11.
[53:30.280 --> 53:34.280]  Let's go to the portion now on taxes themselves.
[53:34.280 --> 53:43.280]  If the tax is created by ordinance, then we have an instant problem in relation to Article 3 of the Texas Constitution.
[53:43.280 --> 53:51.280]  Lest you did not hear me correctly, Section 33 of Article 3 specifically deals with revenue bills.
[53:51.280 --> 53:56.280]  That's bills that assess taxes for the purpose of generating revenue.
[53:56.280 --> 54:06.280]  And what does it say? All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives.
[54:06.280 --> 54:09.280]  Now let's look at this logically for a moment.
[54:09.280 --> 54:31.280]  If we did not authorize the legislature to create any bill of any kind regarding revenue except originally from the House of Representatives, then how can the legislature be authorized to grant such power to a municipality to create
[54:31.280 --> 54:39.280]  by ordinance that which the legislature themselves is prohibited to create outside of the House of Representatives?
[54:39.280 --> 54:42.280]  Now before you say, well, it says it right there in the Constitution.
[54:42.280 --> 54:44.280]  Well, that creates a separate problem.
[54:44.280 --> 54:49.280]  Let's look at how constitutional amendment or addition takes place here.
[54:49.280 --> 55:10.280]  If the legislature can get a provision put into the Constitution that conflicts with other portions and the courts rule that the most recently enacted provision supersedes the provision with which it conflicts,
[55:10.280 --> 55:32.280]  then that means that the Constitution can be rewritten in areas that were never brought before the people to amend or vote on by trickily wording a section to conflict with it that is up for vote and is put before the people to vote on and gets passed.
[55:32.280 --> 55:35.280]  Let's consider where else that has happened.
[55:35.280 --> 55:40.280]  It's happened in the Bill of Rights, Article 1, Section 10.
[55:40.280 --> 55:50.280]  When the legislature got it slipped in there to vote, that you don't need a grand jury indictment for an offense that does not put you in a state penal facility.
[55:50.280 --> 56:12.280]  That means you can be sent to jail by just a prosecutor and a jury without any intervention by a grand jury for up to a year because that's the maximum they can lock you up in a county jail is a year.
[56:12.280 --> 56:24.280]  So you can actually be locked up for up to a year without a grand jury ever having reviewed your case because the way they amended Article 1, Section 10.
[56:24.280 --> 56:46.280]  However, Article 1, Section 10 creates an immediate conflict with Article 5, Section 17, which specifically states that the grand jury shall look into all misdemeanors and any indictments handed down
[56:46.280 --> 56:59.280]  and therefore shall go into the district court who shall then send them down to the proper inferior court having jurisdiction.
[56:59.280 --> 57:19.280]  So just by changing that one section of the Bill of Rights, they created a conflict with another section of the powers of a particular department and now the courts rule that the newly updated Bill of Rights supersedes the provision over here under the departmental power.
[57:19.280 --> 57:29.280]  Now, I also find it kind of odd that it would just happen to be that same department's power.
[57:29.280 --> 57:43.280]  The courts are saying the conflict is okay, that one over there wins and this one over here loses, but they're making that determination about a department over which they're the officers.
[57:43.280 --> 58:00.280]  But again, how do you reconcile amending multiple portions of the Texas Constitution when that amendment is not up for debate, discussion, or vote simply because another section was changed?
[58:00.280 --> 58:13.280]  Something ain't right, something stinks, and we all know what it is, but nobody is out there poking that bear, trying to get it roused up so we can kill it, skin it, and make a nice rug.
[58:13.280 --> 58:18.280]  And we need to start getting busy with that because everything we have is disappearing.
[58:18.280 --> 58:26.280]  Now, guys, I do have a little bit more of this on the other side to finish up because there's a lot of this that's going criminal and I need to get it out there for you
[58:26.280 --> 58:32.280]  because when I'm done with some of the stuff I'm working on, there's going to be a great big target on the back of my head, I promise you.
[58:32.280 --> 58:40.280]  Anyhow, y'all hang on, folks. We'll be right back after this break. Rob, Lee, please don't drop off. Y'all just hold on. You've been very patient and I appreciate it.

[01:00:52.280 --> 01:01:03.280]  We start today's news with an update on the case of Adam Kokesh, a Liberty activist who was arrested on firearms charges after posting a video on July 4th showing himself loading and cocking a shotgun in Washington, D.C.
[01:01:03.280 --> 01:01:06.280]  Here's the Liberty Beat's newest writer, Brian Hagan, with the story.
[01:01:06.280 --> 01:01:21.280]  Kokesh has, after two months, been released from solitary confinement. That word from Kokesh spokesman Jeffrey Phillips, who says the transfer happened this past weekend, with Kokesh moved to the general population of a lower-level security wing of the jail.
[01:01:21.280 --> 01:01:27.280]  Kokesh is now allowed to use the phone, a right he had been denied, but visitation remains questionable.
[01:01:27.280 --> 01:01:34.280]  Phillips says Kokesh's mother, who lives in California but traveled to meet her son, was turned away by jail administration.
[01:01:34.280 --> 01:01:41.280]  Kokesh's team is working to see that change, sending a fax requesting visitation, but have so far received no response.
[01:01:41.280 --> 01:01:48.280]  Phone calls to the jail requesting to speak with Kokesh have been met with busy signals, a fax machine tone, and hang-ups.
[01:01:48.280 --> 01:01:58.280]  Meanwhile, Phillips confirms that the Kokesh-created Adam vs. the Man Internet program is on hiatus from its usual format, but corresponding content is still being generated.
[01:01:58.280 --> 01:02:04.280]  I'm Brian Hagan reporting for the Liberty Beat.
[01:02:04.280 --> 01:02:10.280]  A controversial push to bring a militarized vehicle onto the streets of Concord, New Hampshire, is continuing.
[01:02:10.280 --> 01:02:15.280]  The Concord City Council Monday night is expected to make a decision on how to proceed with the proposal.
[01:02:15.280 --> 01:02:21.280]  The $260,000 cost of the Bearcat arm and personnel carrier would be funded by a Department of Homeland Security federal grant.
[01:02:21.280 --> 01:02:32.280]  It was the wording of that grant that led to much of the controversy, with the application implying that members of New Hampshire's Libertarian Three-State Project and Occupy New Hampshire could be potential domestic terrorists.
[01:02:32.280 --> 01:02:37.280]  Last month, following protests both outside and inside the Council's chambers, the issue was tabled.
[01:02:37.280 --> 01:02:43.280]  Prior to the Council's decision, testimony from 50 persons was heard, with only four speaking in favor of the Bearcat.

[01:03:20.280 --> 01:03:24.280]  Hi folks, we are back. This is Rule of Law Radio.
[01:03:24.280 --> 01:03:28.280]  All right, now we are going to get mean.
[01:03:28.280 --> 01:03:31.280]  All right, let's run down this piece by piece here.
[01:03:31.280 --> 01:03:37.280]  Now if we go back over to Article 11 real quick of the Texas Constitution, go down to Section 13.
[01:03:37.280 --> 01:03:42.280]  This actual thing for creating municipalities, Article 11, is very, very short.
[01:03:42.280 --> 01:03:46.280]  Let's look at Section 13, Classification of Municipal Functions.
[01:03:46.280 --> 01:03:56.280]  Now in that same type of case law, there's case law that specifically says municipalities operate in one of two capacities, okay?
[01:03:56.280 --> 01:04:03.280]  Those functions are either going to be proprietary, which means the corporate function, or they're going to be governmental.
[01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:05.280]  Well, here is where the case law gets this from.
[01:04:05.280 --> 01:04:10.280]  Subsection A, notwithstanding any other provision of this Constitution,
[01:04:10.280 --> 01:04:18.280]  the legislature may by law define for all purposes those functions of a municipality that are to be considered governmental
[01:04:18.280 --> 01:04:27.280]  and those that are proprietary, including reclassifying a functions classification assigned under prior statute or common law.
[01:04:27.280 --> 01:04:34.280]  Subsection B, this section applies to laws enacted by the 70th Legislature Regular Session 87
[01:04:34.280 --> 01:04:37.280]  to all subsequent regular or special sessions of the legislature.
[01:04:37.280 --> 01:04:42.280]  Now let's talk about that section real quick and make another argument here.
[01:04:42.280 --> 01:04:52.280]  If the legislature is attempting to say that the ordinance assessing and creating or creating and assessing a tax is a governmental function,
[01:04:52.280 --> 01:04:57.280]  we immediately run afoul of Article 3, Section 33,
[01:04:57.280 --> 01:05:07.280]  because this is the state trying to allow the municipality to create a revenue bill that did not originate in the House of Representatives in the legislature.
[01:05:07.280 --> 01:05:09.280]  Now why is that such a big problem?
[01:05:09.280 --> 01:05:12.280]  Well, you have to look at the city charter to find out.
[01:05:12.280 --> 01:05:18.280]  When you look at the Austin city charter, for instance, as a home rule city, it specifically states,
[01:05:18.280 --> 01:05:28.280]  the form of government of the city of Austin shall be committee or commissioners manager.
[01:05:28.280 --> 01:05:35.280]  Okay? It's a commissioner manager form of government.
[01:05:35.280 --> 01:05:37.280]  Now why is that a problem?
[01:05:37.280 --> 01:05:46.280]  Because both the federal and the state constitution says that all states may have only a republican form of government.
[01:05:46.280 --> 01:05:50.280]  Now you know what else is not in the city charter?
[01:05:50.280 --> 01:05:54.280]  The city charter says that the people may elect these guys,
[01:05:54.280 --> 01:05:59.280]  but nowhere in the city charter does it say that they are representatives of the people of that city.
[01:05:59.280 --> 01:06:03.280]  You want to know why your voice does not get heard in city hall?
[01:06:03.280 --> 01:06:09.280]  You want to know why the commission or the committees or the commissars or the czars
[01:06:09.280 --> 01:06:13.280]  or whatever they would like to think themselves to actually be,
[01:06:13.280 --> 01:06:19.280]  don't listen to the people in the city that live there because they don't represent you.
[01:06:19.280 --> 01:06:22.280]  They don't work for you.
[01:06:22.280 --> 01:06:33.280]  A commissioner manager form of government is as alien to you as English monarchies are.
[01:06:33.280 --> 01:06:39.280]  They have no place here. Neither does that form of government.
[01:06:39.280 --> 01:06:43.280]  Okay? They're a board of directors of a corporation.
[01:06:43.280 --> 01:06:50.280]  They don't have to listen to the stockholders unless you're the majority stockholder.
[01:06:50.280 --> 01:06:58.280]  They will vote the best thing to do for the purpose of their shares, not yours,
[01:06:58.280 --> 01:07:05.280]  considering if you even have any shares, and guess what? You don't.
[01:07:05.280 --> 01:07:10.280]  They don't represent you. That's why you go to city council meetings.
[01:07:10.280 --> 01:07:14.280]  They feel they can do whatever they want because according to that charter,
[01:07:14.280 --> 01:07:19.280]  there's nothing that binds them to serve you, the people of Austin.
[01:07:19.280 --> 01:07:21.280]  Chew on that for a little bit.
[01:07:21.280 --> 01:07:26.280]  Now, let's go a little further. What are they treating ordinances as?
[01:07:26.280 --> 01:07:30.280]  You get stopped by a cop, what's he doing? He's policy enforcement.
[01:07:30.280 --> 01:07:34.280]  He's police policy enforcement. Okay?
[01:07:34.280 --> 01:07:40.280]  His whole job is to enforce city policy, which is what's written in the ordinances.
[01:07:40.280 --> 01:07:45.280]  So they're trying to treat the ordinances as law binding
[01:07:45.280 --> 01:07:51.280]  and effective against the general public. But can they?
[01:07:51.280 --> 01:07:56.280]  Where does an ordinance originate? City council, right?
[01:07:56.280 --> 01:08:02.280]  Who votes on it? City council, right? Who enacts it? City council, right?
[01:08:02.280 --> 01:08:08.280]  What's the problem? Well, the problem is, Article 3, Section 29,
[01:08:08.280 --> 01:08:15.280]  all laws must have the following enacting clause, be it enacted by the legislature of the state of Texas,
[01:08:15.280 --> 01:08:19.280]  not the commissioner of any given city or municipality.
[01:08:19.280 --> 01:08:26.280]  Section 30, laws passed by bill, no law shall be passed except by bill,
[01:08:26.280 --> 01:08:37.280]  and no bill shall be so amended in its passage through either house, not city commission or committee.
[01:08:37.280 --> 01:08:45.280]  Okay? As to change its original purpose, Section 31, origination in either house.
[01:08:45.280 --> 01:08:53.280]  Bills may originate in either house, not in the city commission, not by the commissioner's court,
[01:08:53.280 --> 01:09:00.280]  not by anybody except the legislature in one of the two houses of the legislature.
[01:09:00.280 --> 01:09:07.280]  No bill shall have the forcing of law until it has been read on three several days in each house.
[01:09:07.280 --> 01:09:11.280]  You see the city commissioners running down to the legislature and reading their ordinances on the floor
[01:09:11.280 --> 01:09:18.280]  over three several days and have an open discussion thereon? I don't.
[01:09:18.280 --> 01:09:24.280]  But while we're in that section, let's look at what else is going wrong.
[01:09:24.280 --> 01:09:30.280]  If anybody gets the time and the impetus to do this, I would greatly appreciate it.
[01:09:30.280 --> 01:09:38.280]  I know the answer, but I would like for someone else to actually put some blood, sweat, and tears into this for once.
[01:09:38.280 --> 01:09:55.280]  Find out when the very first time was that the Texas legislature used the declaration out of 49A of the Texas Constitution,
[01:09:55.280 --> 01:10:02.280]  where the bill states as the emergency clause provision, okay,
[01:10:02.280 --> 01:10:17.280]  that the reason it was passed without reading over three several days is imperative public necessity has created a state of emergency.
[01:10:17.280 --> 01:10:25.280]  If you look, I'm pretty sure you're going to find that practice started way back there.
[01:10:25.280 --> 01:10:37.280]  You know when this section was actually added to the Constitution? November 3, 1942, during the war or just after the war, okay?
[01:10:37.280 --> 01:10:46.280]  It was amended last, and the only time it appears, November 2, 1999.
[01:10:46.280 --> 01:10:51.280]  Now again, remember, this section deals only with appropriations bills.
[01:10:51.280 --> 01:10:57.280]  So if this was able to suspend the procedural rules that are in 62B,
[01:10:57.280 --> 01:11:02.280]  the only way it could do that was if it applied to an appropriations bill.
[01:11:02.280 --> 01:11:11.280]  But section 62 does not give this as a valid emergency clause for the suspension of that procedure.
[01:11:11.280 --> 01:11:17.280]  It specifically says the governor must issue a proclamation, both houses must agree to that proclamation,
[01:11:17.280 --> 01:11:30.280]  and if that proclamation must state that the cause for the state of emergency is either disasters resulting from an enemy attack or immediate threat of an enemy attack.
[01:11:30.280 --> 01:11:38.280]  There is no other emergency situation that allows for the suspension of the three several days reading
[01:11:38.280 --> 01:11:48.280]  or the submission to the committee or open discussion during those same three days on the subject of the bill.
[01:11:48.280 --> 01:11:50.280]  Nothing.
[01:11:50.280 --> 01:11:55.280]  But you go back and look at your legislative enactments, and you're going to find out,
[01:11:55.280 --> 01:12:02.280]  I'm willing to bet you that at the same time the legislature, the 53rd legislature,
[01:12:02.280 --> 01:12:11.280]  overturned the use of gold and silver coin by stating all fines and fees must be paid in lawful money of the United States,
[01:12:11.280 --> 01:12:18.280]  which is the FRN, the Federal Reserve Note.
[01:12:18.280 --> 01:12:25.280]  That will be the first time that emergency clause was used.
[01:12:25.280 --> 01:12:30.280]  I would be willing to bet money on that.
[01:12:30.280 --> 01:12:39.280]  Because that emergency clause is completely unconstitutional and invalid.
[01:12:39.280 --> 01:12:46.280]  It violates everything that Section 62 of the Constitution calls for.
[01:12:46.280 --> 01:13:00.280]  Now you'll also notice in that same area that they can suspend the rule on reading on three several days by four-fifths of the House in which the bill may be pending.
[01:13:00.280 --> 01:13:07.280]  But again, if this is all it takes, it says this was amended November 2, 1999.
[01:13:07.280 --> 01:13:18.280]  But if they can amend this section to do away with every reason why the suspension must be valid for the sake of a four-fifths vote,
[01:13:18.280 --> 01:13:28.280]  then again, they have completely nullified all of Section 62 by this one change to Section 32.
[01:13:28.280 --> 01:13:32.280]  And folks, that can't happen.
[01:13:32.280 --> 01:13:49.280]  So if they have to reconcile these together, then what this means is that majority vote down in Section 62 in order to make that suspension has to be four-fifths of the House.
[01:13:49.280 --> 01:13:51.280]  That's all they can do.
[01:13:51.280 --> 01:14:02.280]  Because even with a four-fifths vote, the emergency requirements haven't changed.
[01:14:02.280 --> 01:14:08.280]  And they specifically state in the bills that creates an emergency condition.
[01:14:08.280 --> 01:14:13.280]  Well, there's nothing in 32 that even talks about the emergency condition.
[01:14:13.280 --> 01:14:24.280]  So why put the emergency clause in there if Section 32 allows you to completely avoid the emergency clause at all by a four-fifths vote?
[01:14:24.280 --> 01:14:29.280]  Why even mention the state of emergency and raise eyebrows and questions?
[01:14:29.280 --> 01:14:32.280]  That's because the emergency clause is still in force in effect.
[01:14:32.280 --> 01:14:44.280]  But what they've done is substituted a bogus emergency statement for what's actually required, enemy invasion.
[01:14:44.280 --> 01:14:56.280]  If you thought you'd been had on income taxes, driver's licenses, and everything else, people your entire state has been stolen from you,
[01:14:56.280 --> 01:15:09.280]  every penny you funded this bogus government with has been stolen from you since at least the mid-'60s, if not earlier.
[01:15:09.280 --> 01:15:12.280]  Now what are you going to do about it?
[01:15:12.280 --> 01:15:27.280]  What will it take to get you people off your backsides, actively pursuing these morons that are stealing from you?
[01:15:27.280 --> 01:15:38.280]  If somebody broke into your house, you would chase them out the front door and down the block if you didn't manage to shoot them inside first.
[01:15:38.280 --> 01:15:51.280]  But you're going to let these people steal everything out from under you and pretend that it's legal when it absolutely isn't.
[01:15:51.280 --> 01:15:54.280]  How stupid are we?
[01:15:54.280 --> 01:16:08.280]  I mean, it's bad enough that we've got a presidiot that wants to put us in World War III, and he's completely ignoring the congasses that are just going to let him do it
[01:16:08.280 --> 01:16:15.280]  instead of impeaching him and throwing him out of office and then trying him for the high crime and misdemeanors that he's committed,
[01:16:15.280 --> 01:16:26.280]  sedition, treason, you name it, because he's definitely given aid and comfort to the enemies of America, has he not? Hell, he created them.
[01:16:26.280 --> 01:16:35.280]  He's fighting them when killing our people over in Afghanistan with them, but he's giving them money and weapons over here in Syria right now.
[01:16:35.280 --> 01:16:50.280]  Come on, people. Where are you? Where? This is ridiculous. It makes me upset to even call myself an American anymore.
[01:16:50.280 --> 01:17:00.280]  All right, guys, y'all hang on. On the other side, I will start getting your calls, so y'all be right there and we'll be right back.

[01:19:45.280 --> 01:19:46.280]  What can I do for you?
[01:19:46.280 --> 01:19:47.280]  Hey, Eddie.
[01:19:47.280 --> 01:19:53.280]  I'm sorry to be off topic because I could go on for days about the stuff that you've been talking about tonight.
[01:19:53.280 --> 01:20:00.280]  You are doing an absolutely exemplary job, and you should be our attorney general.
[01:20:00.280 --> 01:20:05.280]  Well, I appreciate that, but I don't know if I can lower my IQ that far.
[01:20:05.280 --> 01:20:07.280]  Well, you know, you shouldn't.
[01:20:07.280 --> 01:20:13.280]  Not that it's that high, but dang, I don't want to be drooling on my front all day.
[01:20:13.280 --> 01:20:16.280]  You shouldn't have to have low IQ to be in public service.
[01:20:16.280 --> 01:20:19.280]  You know, we should have intelligent, honorable people there.
[01:20:19.280 --> 01:20:20.280]  I don't know.
[01:20:20.280 --> 01:20:25.280]  You couldn't live with yourself if your IQ was too high.
[01:20:25.280 --> 01:20:29.280]  Well, they were doing the right thing, you know.
[01:20:29.280 --> 01:20:35.280]  But basically, okay, a little bit of background just so you know where I'm at.
[01:20:35.280 --> 01:20:41.280]  You know, my wife was stopped for a transportation violation.
[01:20:41.280 --> 01:20:42.280]  She fought it.
[01:20:42.280 --> 01:20:44.280]  She challenged personal jurisdiction.
[01:20:44.280 --> 01:20:48.280]  She challenged subject matter jurisdiction, got railroaded.
[01:20:48.280 --> 01:20:53.280]  We filed the Notice of Appeal in the wrong court.
[01:20:53.280 --> 01:21:02.280]  The district court denied the appeal because it was not timely filed by the time it got filed in the right court.
[01:21:02.280 --> 01:21:12.280]  However, because of the challenged jurisdiction previously existing, it should have been granted anyway.
[01:21:12.280 --> 01:21:16.280]  Well, you're going to have to file a motion to vacate or avoid judgment.
[01:21:16.280 --> 01:21:22.280]  Okay. Well, today was her deadline to pay in the magistrate court.
[01:21:22.280 --> 01:21:23.280]  Yeah.
[01:21:23.280 --> 01:21:25.280]  She's four months pregnant.
[01:21:25.280 --> 01:21:28.280]  Two of her friends have recently lost babies.
[01:21:28.280 --> 01:21:31.280]  She's freaking out about this thing.
[01:21:31.280 --> 01:21:41.280]  Well, get that filed and that will put a stay on it because if you're seeking to have the ruling overturned or declared void,
[01:21:41.280 --> 01:21:47.280]  then, you know, because of a jurisdictional issue, you can challenge that at any time.
[01:21:47.280 --> 01:21:50.280]  Okay. Now, if she pays it, can we still?
[01:21:50.280 --> 01:21:51.280]  No, you pay it.
[01:21:51.280 --> 01:21:53.280]  It is over.
[01:21:53.280 --> 01:21:54.280]  That's what I thought.
[01:21:54.280 --> 01:21:57.280]  Forever. It is over.
[01:21:57.280 --> 01:22:00.280]  Okay. No, I think she already paid it today.
[01:22:00.280 --> 01:22:02.280]  I don't know.
[01:22:02.280 --> 01:22:06.280]  Well, in that case, I appreciate your call.
[01:22:06.280 --> 01:22:11.280]  Yeah. You know, I can only do what I can do.
[01:22:11.280 --> 01:22:13.280]  I'm helping her and encouraging her.
[01:22:13.280 --> 01:22:20.280]  But, I mean, with me being gone, you know, she's got to do on her own, you know.
[01:22:20.280 --> 01:22:22.280]  Yeah.
[01:22:22.280 --> 01:22:24.280]  But I'm fighting mine.
[01:22:24.280 --> 01:22:25.280]  I'm going after my guys.
[01:22:25.280 --> 01:22:31.280]  They ran like crazy from mine and I'm going to go after them with everything I can.
[01:22:31.280 --> 01:22:32.280]  Good.
[01:22:32.280 --> 01:22:36.280]  Which goes to my next real quick question.
[01:22:36.280 --> 01:22:41.280]  Our Tort Claims Act in the state says if you file a Tort Claims Act,
[01:22:41.280 --> 01:22:47.280]  you waive any other claims just from a tactical standpoint.
[01:22:47.280 --> 01:22:52.280]  Would you go for a Tort Claims Act or would you go for a 1983 suit?
[01:22:52.280 --> 01:22:57.280]  Tort Claims is going to be giving them immunity for everything.
[01:22:57.280 --> 01:22:58.280]  Okay.
[01:22:58.280 --> 01:23:01.280]  If that Tort Claims Act does not specifically waive immunity,
[01:23:01.280 --> 01:23:03.280]  I'll claim to have immunity for everything.
[01:23:03.280 --> 01:23:05.280]  Okay. Cool.
[01:23:05.280 --> 01:23:06.280]  Well, that answers my question then.
[01:23:06.280 --> 01:23:07.280]  Okay.
[01:23:07.280 --> 01:23:08.280]  All right.
[01:23:08.280 --> 01:23:09.280]  Thank you very much, Ed.
[01:23:09.280 --> 01:23:10.280]  You're very welcome.
[01:23:10.280 --> 01:23:14.280]  Oh, which reminds me of one other thing, folks, while you're listening.
[01:23:14.280 --> 01:23:20.280]  Municipalities in Texas in their city charters specifically waive immunity from suit.
[01:23:20.280 --> 01:23:24.280]  And the legislature did exactly the same thing in either the government code
[01:23:24.280 --> 01:23:25.280]  or the local government code.
[01:23:25.280 --> 01:23:33.280]  It specifically says municipalities can sue and be sued in any court of this state.
[01:23:33.280 --> 01:23:35.280]  That is not only in statute.
[01:23:35.280 --> 01:23:38.280]  That is in the city charter itself.
[01:23:38.280 --> 01:23:41.280]  So if you seek redress against a municipality in Texas
[01:23:41.280 --> 01:23:48.280]  and they try to claim immunity of any kind, they've already waived it.
[01:23:48.280 --> 01:23:51.280]  They explicitly waived it in their charter.
[01:23:51.280 --> 01:23:55.280]  And if the Texas courts are going to rule they cannot exercise any power
[01:23:55.280 --> 01:23:58.280]  and not explicitly laid out in their charter,
[01:23:58.280 --> 01:24:02.280]  well, I don't see immunity explicitly laid out.
[01:24:02.280 --> 01:24:04.280]  I see it explicitly waived.
[01:24:04.280 --> 01:24:06.280]  And you need to be making that argument.
[01:24:06.280 --> 01:24:11.280]  Stop letting them slide away on an immunity claim they do not have.
[01:24:11.280 --> 01:24:12.280]  All right.
[01:24:12.280 --> 01:24:15.280]  Now let's go to Lee in California.
[01:24:15.280 --> 01:24:17.280]  Lee, what can we do for you?
[01:24:17.280 --> 01:24:18.280]  How are you doing?
[01:24:18.280 --> 01:24:20.280]  Good so far.
[01:24:20.280 --> 01:24:22.280]  Unless you're going to give me really bad news.
[01:24:22.280 --> 01:24:26.280]  California fell off in the ocean or something.
[01:24:26.280 --> 01:24:29.280]  Well, we're waiting for the other side of the beach to come on our side,
[01:24:29.280 --> 01:24:31.280]  closer to Arizona still.
[01:24:31.280 --> 01:24:32.280]  Ah, okay.
[01:24:32.280 --> 01:24:34.280]  Okay, here's my question.
[01:24:34.280 --> 01:24:40.280]  I went to court for the pleading of guilty, not guilty.
[01:24:40.280 --> 01:24:43.280]  One of the things that happened while I was there,
[01:24:43.280 --> 01:24:48.280]  I got a parking ticket for an expired meter,
[01:24:48.280 --> 01:24:56.280]  and these meters don't have the things set up on each spot from what I look.
[01:24:56.280 --> 01:25:00.280]  I even took pictures of it from what I've seen is that they have it in a separate...
[01:25:00.280 --> 01:25:04.280]  Yeah, they have a centralized box where you have to go get a sticker to put in your window.
[01:25:04.280 --> 01:25:06.280]  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:25:06.280 --> 01:25:14.280]  So I know that what we're dealing with is basically, I guess, moving transportation violations.
[01:25:14.280 --> 01:25:15.280]  No.
[01:25:15.280 --> 01:25:20.280]  The city parking won't be in your transportation code most likely.
[01:25:20.280 --> 01:25:22.280]  If it is, okay.
[01:25:22.280 --> 01:25:25.280]  But that's a state law, and the parking is local, so I doubt it.
[01:25:25.280 --> 01:25:27.280]  It will be in the city ordinances.
[01:25:27.280 --> 01:25:33.280]  The problem is they'll be 100% civil, i.e., they will be administrative.
[01:25:33.280 --> 01:25:40.280]  Your parking ticket is going to almost always, 100% of the time, be a bill of pains and penalties.
[01:25:40.280 --> 01:25:49.280]  It will be a legislative or administrative determination of guilt that does not go through judicial review.
[01:25:49.280 --> 01:25:54.280]  It's a punishment without a judge affirming the punishment.
[01:25:54.280 --> 01:25:56.280]  Now, here's what else they do.
[01:25:56.280 --> 01:26:05.280]  If they send you from some sort of administrative hearing officer to an actual municipal judge or judicial review,
[01:26:05.280 --> 01:26:13.280]  that judge is still not acting in a judicial capacity, especially if you're not allowed to have a jury present.
[01:26:13.280 --> 01:26:20.280]  That's still an administrative court, and it's still not a judicial review,
[01:26:20.280 --> 01:26:26.280]  because in a judicial review, you have the right to trial by jury, okay?
[01:26:26.280 --> 01:26:28.280]  Okay.
[01:26:28.280 --> 01:26:35.280]  So keep that in mind and challenge it as a bill of pains and penalties in violation of every constitution,
[01:26:35.280 --> 01:26:38.280]  because all of them specifically prohibit them.
[01:26:38.280 --> 01:26:41.280]  Okay, and that's through a motion, correct?
[01:26:41.280 --> 01:26:42.280]  Yes.
[01:26:42.280 --> 01:26:47.280]  Motion to dismiss unconstitutional and illegal bill of pains and penalties.
[01:26:47.280 --> 01:26:50.280]  Okay, I see, I see.
[01:26:50.280 --> 01:26:52.280]  All right.
[01:26:52.280 --> 01:27:00.280]  My next one was I had a family member go to trial.
[01:27:00.280 --> 01:27:07.280]  She had a, it was a misdemeanor and an infraction, both in one,
[01:27:07.280 --> 01:27:19.280]  because she didn't want to provide her driver's license, and she followed the script that you put out there.
[01:27:19.280 --> 01:27:21.280]  Okay, well, let me ask you a question.
[01:27:21.280 --> 01:27:26.280]  When she got, when she was asked to hand over her license,
[01:27:26.280 --> 01:27:31.280]  what were the circumstances that were occurring at that moment?
[01:27:31.280 --> 01:27:41.280]  I, thinking that she was, she was, the officer was basically telling her to roll down the window.
[01:27:41.280 --> 01:27:44.280]  Yeah, but did the officer pull her over?
[01:27:44.280 --> 01:27:45.280]  Yes.
[01:27:45.280 --> 01:27:51.280]  Okay, and what was the allegation as to why he pulled her over?
[01:27:51.280 --> 01:27:53.280]  It was for an infraction.
[01:27:53.280 --> 01:27:54.280]  Correct.
[01:27:54.280 --> 01:27:56.280]  That means the arrest was illegal.
[01:27:56.280 --> 01:27:58.280]  He did not have a warrant.
[01:27:58.280 --> 01:28:00.280]  An infraction is civil.
[01:28:00.280 --> 01:28:05.280]  It is not criminal, and they can make no civil arrest without a warrant.
[01:28:05.280 --> 01:28:10.280]  The moment he seized her, he committed a crime.
[01:28:10.280 --> 01:28:17.280]  Okay, because he went as far as opening her door, because her door doesn't lock,
[01:28:17.280 --> 01:28:23.280]  and basically pulled her out of the car and 12 other trucks he pulled out of the car with her seatbelt on still.
[01:28:23.280 --> 01:28:25.280]  And she went to court.
[01:28:25.280 --> 01:28:27.280]  She's not the one on YouTube, is she?
[01:28:27.280 --> 01:28:28.280]  I'm sorry?
[01:28:28.280 --> 01:28:30.280]  She's not the one on YouTube like that, is she?
[01:28:30.280 --> 01:28:32.280]  No, no, no, no.
[01:28:32.280 --> 01:28:34.280]  Not that bad, I don't think.
[01:28:34.280 --> 01:28:45.280]  But when she went to court, you know, she had asked, she filed promotions for discovery, and they didn't provide her with anything.
[01:28:45.280 --> 01:28:51.280]  And when she was asking the questions on your script, the officer, the judge kept interrupting
[01:28:51.280 --> 01:28:55.280]  and asking what she would say I object to, you know, to the seventh sense.
[01:28:55.280 --> 01:28:56.280]  Right.
[01:28:56.280 --> 01:29:01.280]  What is your legal basis for your objection is what he kept saying.
[01:29:01.280 --> 01:29:07.280]  The legal basis is exactly what the objection is, assumes facts, not an evidence, not previously agreed to,
[01:29:07.280 --> 01:29:10.280]  and requires a legal conclusion.
[01:29:10.280 --> 01:29:11.280]  Okay.
[01:29:11.280 --> 01:29:21.280]  And that means that they're assuming, okay, that you were in transportation or in some sort of commercial use of the road rather than proving it.
[01:29:21.280 --> 01:29:24.280]  That's the assumes facts part.
[01:29:24.280 --> 01:29:30.280]  It also assumes facts when they assert you're driving a motor vehicle.
[01:29:30.280 --> 01:29:35.280]  There's nothing before the court that defines those terms, is there?
[01:29:35.280 --> 01:29:36.280]  No.
[01:29:36.280 --> 01:29:39.280]  No one defined them for the court or for the jury.
[01:29:39.280 --> 01:29:44.280]  Therefore, assumes facts, not an evidence, not previously agreed to,
[01:29:44.280 --> 01:29:51.280]  and it's requiring a legal conclusion by the witness because they don't know the definition of it any better.
[01:29:51.280 --> 01:29:52.280]  So hang on just a second, Lee.
[01:29:52.280 --> 01:29:54.280]  We'll finish all this up on the other side.

[01:30:44.280 --> 01:30:46.280]  Yoga teachers.
[01:30:46.280 --> 01:30:52.280]  We think of them as flexible and easygoing, but they recently took bureaucrats to the mat, and I don't mean the yoga mat.
[01:30:52.280 --> 01:30:58.280]  They marched on the Texas Capitol to oppose the government's interference in their teaching practices, and who could blame them?
[01:30:58.280 --> 01:31:07.280]  Regulators had raided their yoga studios and threatened them with fines unless they submitted to a burdensome certification process and paid up to three grand for the privilege.
[01:31:07.280 --> 01:31:11.280]  Their defiance inspired some rule changes, but Texas is not alone.
[01:31:11.280 --> 01:31:15.280]  Even dog training lessons may be subject to regulation where you live.

[01:32:09.280 --> 01:32:17.280]  Did you know the U.S. government banned the hemp plant from growing in the United States and classified it as a Schedule I drug to hide it behind a marijuana plant?
[01:32:17.280 --> 01:32:23.280]  People have been confused about this plant for over 80 years, and many still don't know what hemp is.
[01:32:23.280 --> 01:32:30.280]  So now you know hemp is not marijuana, and marijuana is not hemp. They are different varieties of the same species.

[01:33:12.280 --> 01:33:33.280]  All right, folks, we are back. We are talking to Lee in California. All right, Lee, let's rock and roll.
[01:33:33.280 --> 01:33:46.280]  Okay, okay. Some of the other things that happened during the courtroom was when she was reading off the script or asking him, you know, are you here?
[01:33:46.280 --> 01:33:50.280]  From the state of, you know, are you getting paid to be here, and so and so.
[01:33:50.280 --> 01:33:56.280]  And the judge kept interrupting and asking, what is the relevance of the questions to the merits of the case?
[01:33:56.280 --> 01:34:04.280]  I need to know if the witness against me is getting paid to accuse and testify against me on behalf of the city's profits. That's why.
[01:34:04.280 --> 01:34:12.280]  Okay. Got you. And then that for sure will shut him up then completely or?
[01:34:12.280 --> 01:34:16.280]  Oh, yeah. That will shut him up in a real hurry.
[01:34:16.280 --> 01:34:17.280]  Okay.
[01:34:17.280 --> 01:34:27.280]  I have the right to know if the person testifying against me has been paid to accuse me and then paid to testify in a negative fashion in order to convict me.
[01:34:27.280 --> 01:34:34.280]  That's the relevance, Judge. Aren't you getting paid by the same entity, by the way?
[01:34:34.280 --> 01:34:39.280]  That would be called for dismissal, no, for them both them working in concordance with each other.
[01:34:39.280 --> 01:34:42.280]  Exactly.
[01:34:42.280 --> 01:34:43.280]  Okay.
[01:34:43.280 --> 01:34:50.280]  All right. That's what I would have to do, yeah, because I'm heading up to court trial on the 19th of this month.
[01:34:50.280 --> 01:34:56.280]  So I just want to be a little bit prepared enough for any kind of oddballs that they throw at me.
[01:34:56.280 --> 01:34:58.280]  Yeah. Well, they'll try to do things like that.
[01:34:58.280 --> 01:35:03.280]  They'll ask what the relevance is, but keep your head, think it through.
[01:35:03.280 --> 01:35:05.280]  The relevance should be obvious.
[01:35:05.280 --> 01:35:14.280]  He knows. He just wants to see if you do, because he was watching her read, so he got it in his head that she doesn't really know what she's doing.
[01:35:14.280 --> 01:35:19.280]  So I can trip her up here if I try, and he kept doing that.
[01:35:19.280 --> 01:35:23.280]  That's why he was doing it.
[01:35:23.280 --> 01:35:25.280]  Okay.
[01:35:25.280 --> 01:35:32.280]  All righty, then. I guess if I've got any other questions, then maybe I can email you or just wait until I call you again next time.
[01:35:32.280 --> 01:35:39.280]  If you – yeah, you can email me anytime. I can't guarantee the speed with which I can answer, but you can email me anytime.
[01:35:39.280 --> 01:35:44.280]  Okay. Okay. Perfect. But I appreciate it. Thank you, and you're doing a great job.
[01:35:44.280 --> 01:35:47.280]  Well, thanks. I appreciate that, and good luck to you.
[01:35:47.280 --> 01:35:48.280]  Okay. Thanks.
[01:35:48.280 --> 01:35:52.280]  You're welcome. All right. Now we're going to go to Jonathan in California.
[01:35:52.280 --> 01:35:55.280]  Jonathan, what can we do for you?
[01:35:55.280 --> 01:36:06.280]  Hey, Eddie. I want to say that I enjoy your show. There is quite a learning curve, I must say, in re-mentally.
[01:36:06.280 --> 01:36:13.280]  Yeah, and I know, and it doesn't help that me doing the teaching is like trying to get a drink out of Niagara Falls, but, you know.
[01:36:13.280 --> 01:36:26.280]  Exactly. Well, but anyway, yes, I'm calling from Southern California, and so I had gotten – I was traveling into San Diego, and I got pulled over by California Highway Patrol.
[01:36:26.280 --> 01:36:28.280]  Or?
[01:36:28.280 --> 01:36:30.280]  Or speeding.
[01:36:30.280 --> 01:36:33.280]  Ah, speeding is an infraction.
[01:36:33.280 --> 01:36:35.280]  Exactly.
[01:36:35.280 --> 01:36:40.280]  Therefore, his stopping you was illegal without a warrant. Did he have one?
[01:36:40.280 --> 01:36:42.280]  No, he did not have one.
[01:36:42.280 --> 01:36:43.280]  Did you ask him?
[01:36:43.280 --> 01:36:45.280]  No, I did not.
[01:36:45.280 --> 01:36:46.280]  Are you going to?
[01:36:46.280 --> 01:36:48.280]  Yes, I am definitely going to.
[01:36:48.280 --> 01:36:50.280]  Good.
[01:36:50.280 --> 01:37:04.280]  Yeah. Well, I can tell you. So, I got everything ready for my re-ment, and I didn't willfully show, but I had a failure to appear.
[01:37:04.280 --> 01:37:13.280]  The car broke down, and I eventually did appear. I didn't plead. That seems to set the judge off, as I'm sure you know.
[01:37:13.280 --> 01:37:14.280]  Oh, yeah.
[01:37:14.280 --> 01:37:23.280]  And then I asked him if it was civil or criminal, and he said, well, it's not purely civil, and it's not criminal.
[01:37:23.280 --> 01:37:30.280]  Well, it is truly civil. He's full of it, and he knows it. It's absolutely civil.
[01:37:30.280 --> 01:37:40.280]  Here's the things you want to ask the cop. Officer, is this an infraction?
[01:37:40.280 --> 01:37:42.280]  Yes, it is.
[01:37:42.280 --> 01:37:52.280]  When you came after me for this infraction, did you violate any laws of the state of California?
[01:37:52.280 --> 01:37:54.280]  What do you mean?
[01:37:54.280 --> 01:38:01.280]  Did you go faster than the posted speed limit to come after me?
[01:38:01.280 --> 01:38:03.280]  Well, yeah.
[01:38:03.280 --> 01:38:11.280]  Did you seize me without a warrant?
[01:38:11.280 --> 01:38:12.280]  Well, I didn't need a warrant.
[01:38:12.280 --> 01:38:23.280]  Excuse me. You said this was an infraction. That's civil, which means you cannot seize me without a warrant. Did you have a warrant?
[01:38:23.280 --> 01:38:25.280]  No.
[01:38:25.280 --> 01:38:30.280]  So the arrest was illegal, correct?
[01:38:30.280 --> 01:38:35.280]  Got it. Yeah.
[01:38:35.280 --> 01:38:38.280]  Two wrongs don't make a right. Isn't that how they put it?
[01:38:38.280 --> 01:38:49.280]  Yeah, that's exactly how they put it. I guess my real question is that – thanks for that line of thought, by the way – is that the failure to appear –
[01:38:49.280 --> 01:39:03.280]  the rest of the failure to appear, because I didn't enter a plea. The bailiff did get pretty excited and be there.
[01:39:03.280 --> 01:39:04.280]  I'm here.
[01:39:04.280 --> 01:39:14.280]  Yeah. So the bailiff kind of started doing, as Randy would say, the chicken dance and started kind of being intimidating. You know what I mean?
[01:39:14.280 --> 01:39:19.280]  Well, let me ask you a question. Did you actually – you were in court that day, right?
[01:39:19.280 --> 01:39:20.280]  Yes.
[01:39:20.280 --> 01:39:24.280]  But when you refused to plea, they entered a no appearance for you?
[01:39:24.280 --> 01:39:28.280]  No. I actually missed my court date and then I went in.
[01:39:28.280 --> 01:39:29.280]  Oh, okay.
[01:39:29.280 --> 01:39:38.280]  Yeah. There wasn't an actual – he actually put me as a failure to appear. And I understand that it's a failure to appear without the process, right?
[01:39:38.280 --> 01:39:41.280]  With the pain – adult pain is incomplete.
[01:39:41.280 --> 01:39:48.280]  No, no, no. No, no, no. Not really. A failure to appear depends upon how the statute sets it up.
[01:39:48.280 --> 01:39:58.280]  But a failure to appear on a proper requirement to appear can be pursued as a contempt of court, okay?
[01:39:58.280 --> 01:40:05.280]  Because if the court properly ordered you to appear and you did not, that's contempt.
[01:40:05.280 --> 01:40:21.280]  The issue becomes whether or not the citation or whatever you actually got telling you to come to court constitutes a proper summons or whatever your state requires to get you into the court.
[01:40:21.280 --> 01:40:37.280]  Now, if your due process, according to whatever the law specifically is on that out there, says that the court can summon you in the following ways and citation is one of those, then it's binding if you sign it.
[01:40:37.280 --> 01:40:38.280]  I don't got it.
[01:40:38.280 --> 01:40:53.280]  Okay. However, if it specifically says like it does here in Texas that the court can only summon you with a valid summons, that's a whole nother matter.
[01:40:53.280 --> 01:40:58.280]  Okay. So I need to check to see if the citation –
[01:40:58.280 --> 01:41:08.280]  Correct. And you also need to make sure whether or not the citation makes it a requirement for an infraction versus an actual crime.
[01:41:08.280 --> 01:41:31.280]  If it's only stipulated in the statute that the summons to appear constitutes failure to appear for an A or B misdemeanor but not a Class C fine only infraction, then you can't fail to appear even if you sign the ticket because the law does not allow a failure to appear for the Class C on the citation.
[01:41:31.280 --> 01:41:38.280]  It's that way here in Texas. They won't admit it, but I can show them in the statute exactly where it doesn't exist.
[01:41:38.280 --> 01:41:54.280]  Yeah. I'll have to look. I'll have to go and look. Yeah. I guess that was my question. So there's really no way to file an affidavit to say, listen, it wasn't willful and at this point, what do I –
[01:41:54.280 --> 01:41:59.280]  Well, all you have to do to nullify it is just appear at the court.
[01:41:59.280 --> 01:42:00.280]  Okay.
[01:42:00.280 --> 01:42:07.280]  If they put a warrant out for you, all you have to do to get rid of the warrant is appear and have them reset the date.
[01:42:07.280 --> 01:42:16.280]  Now, be aware they may attempt to make you post a bond now that you fail to appear if, again, failure to appear is proper in this case.
[01:42:16.280 --> 01:42:17.280]  Yeah.
[01:42:17.280 --> 01:42:28.280]  Then they can at that point require a cash bond. That's why it's best not to fail to appear because you can use a surety, which means they don't get any money in their grubby little hands.
[01:42:28.280 --> 01:42:30.280]  Yeah.
[01:42:30.280 --> 01:42:44.280]  That's what we want to avoid, giving them money ever. So here in Texas, when I've got this set up for you to give them a surety bond, you don't lose the surety by failing to appear.
[01:42:44.280 --> 01:42:51.280]  You show up every time on time so that they cannot make money off of you while you're having to wait on them.
[01:42:51.280 --> 01:42:56.280]  Oh, okay. Got it. Got it.
[01:42:56.280 --> 01:43:02.280]  Now, hey, with the whole situation with the bailiff, is that considered intimidation during an open court?
[01:43:02.280 --> 01:43:05.280]  That depends on what the bailiff did.
[01:43:05.280 --> 01:43:07.280]  Okay.
[01:43:07.280 --> 01:43:17.280]  If he assaulted you, threatened you, rather than just look hostilely in your direction, then, yeah, that could be a potential problem.
[01:43:17.280 --> 01:43:32.280]  If he touched you in any way, threatened you in any way, told you something bad was going to happen to you in any way, yeah, that would be intimidation and terroristic threat or whatever the equivalent is in California.
[01:43:32.280 --> 01:43:33.280]  Okay.
[01:43:33.280 --> 01:43:35.280]  Thank you very much. You have a good one.
[01:43:35.280 --> 01:43:41.280]  You're welcome, Jonathan. Thanks for calling in. George, I see you there on the board. Hang on, and I'll get you on the other side. I got one more segment left.
[01:43:41.280 --> 01:43:51.280]  Folks, just in case, I might could use one more caller, but I can't guarantee I'll get to you before I get to him with George, not knowing what his question is, but we will see.
[01:43:51.280 --> 01:44:00.280]  All right, folks. Y'all hang on. This is Rule of Law Radio, your host, Eddie Craig. We will be right back on the other side.
[01:44:00.280 --> 01:44:04.280]  You feel tired when talking about important topics like money and politics?
[01:44:04.280 --> 01:44:05.280]  Sorry.
[01:44:05.280 --> 01:44:07.280]  Are you confused by words like the Constitution or the Federal Reserve?
[01:44:07.280 --> 01:44:08.280]  What?
[01:44:08.280 --> 01:44:12.280]  If so, you may be diagnosed with the deadliest disease known today, stupidity.
[01:44:12.280 --> 01:44:19.280]  Hi, my name is Steve Holt, and like millions of other Americans, I was diagnosed with stupidity at an early age.
[01:44:19.280 --> 01:44:25.280]  I had no idea that the number one cause of the disease is found in almost every home in America, the television.
[01:44:25.280 --> 01:44:30.280]  Unfortunately, that puts most Americans at risk of catching stupidity, but there is hope.
[01:44:30.280 --> 01:44:43.280]  The staff at Brave New Books have helped me and thousands of other foxaholics suffering from sports zombieism recover, and because of Brave New Books, I now enjoy reading and watching educational documentaries without feeling tired or uninterested.
[01:44:43.280 --> 01:44:54.280]  So if you or anybody you know suffers from stupidity, then you need to call 512-480-2503 or visit them at 1904Guadalupe or bravenewbookstore.com.

[01:46:19.280 --> 01:46:24.280]  All right, folks, we are back. This is Rule of Law Radio.
[01:46:24.280 --> 01:46:27.280]  All right, now we're going to go to George in Illinois.
[01:46:27.280 --> 01:46:30.280]  George, what can I do for you?
[01:46:30.280 --> 01:46:36.280]  All right, well, I live in Florida, so this is about a concealed carry question if you're driving in Florida.
[01:46:36.280 --> 01:46:42.280]  For the question's sake, for time, I'm just going to say you get pulled over for speeding.
[01:46:42.280 --> 01:46:49.280]  And before you assert your rights and you ask the officer how can you help and what's the emergency and everything,
[01:46:49.280 --> 01:46:53.280]  but you have to tell them I'm a concealed carry holder and I'm armed.
[01:46:53.280 --> 01:47:03.280]  How would you transition from telling the cop, hey, I'm armed to, you know, asserting your rights and, you know?
[01:47:03.280 --> 01:47:10.280]  Well, again, you've placed yourself in a very bad situation there with that.
[01:47:10.280 --> 01:47:20.280]  When you're using that license or you're carrying that license, you've basically consented to everything it's doing, okay?
[01:47:20.280 --> 01:47:25.280]  You've agreed that if they call you, here's what's going to happen.
[01:47:25.280 --> 01:47:31.280]  And when they call you up out of that car and say, and you have to tell them that, well, you're kind of stuck.
[01:47:31.280 --> 01:47:38.280]  Now, what are you required to produce in relation to that statement is the next question.
[01:47:38.280 --> 01:47:41.280]  Yes.
[01:47:41.280 --> 01:47:47.280]  Because if you're asked to, like, give some – that was my other part of the question was about identifying, like, if I –
[01:47:47.280 --> 01:47:48.280]  Well, no way to say.
[01:47:48.280 --> 01:47:50.280]  I asked you a question back.
[01:47:50.280 --> 01:47:58.280]  When you get pulled over, what are you required to give them in relation to your concealed carry?
[01:47:58.280 --> 01:48:01.280]  Your concealed carry card, right?
[01:48:01.280 --> 01:48:04.280]  Okay.
[01:48:04.280 --> 01:48:10.280]  All right. But you're not – they can't get you out of your car if you're lawfully concealed carrying, right?
[01:48:10.280 --> 01:48:14.280]  You're not breaking any law by lawfully concealed carrying.
[01:48:14.280 --> 01:48:15.280]  Correct.
[01:48:15.280 --> 01:48:16.280]  Okay.
[01:48:16.280 --> 01:48:18.280]  We're actually pulled over for speeding.
[01:48:18.280 --> 01:48:19.280]  All right.
[01:48:19.280 --> 01:48:24.280]  Now, understand one thing about a cop's mentality.
[01:48:24.280 --> 01:48:31.280]  Since you have no clue how he feels about concealed carry holders and most of them don't like you,
[01:48:31.280 --> 01:48:42.280]  especially in Florida, Chicago definitely, but in any case, if they see that you are a concealed carry holder
[01:48:42.280 --> 01:48:50.280]  and you attempt to enforce your other rights, then they will attempt to escalate the situation to such a degree
[01:48:50.280 --> 01:48:56.280]  as to be able to charge you with something that will cause you to lose the concealed carry license.
[01:48:56.280 --> 01:49:06.280]  Hence, the reason why I wouldn't get the license to begin with, but that's a personal choice everybody's got to make.
[01:49:06.280 --> 01:49:11.280]  Now that you got it, it kind of cuffs you in a lot of ways.
[01:49:11.280 --> 01:49:14.280]  Yeah.
[01:49:14.280 --> 01:49:16.280]  All right.
[01:49:16.280 --> 01:49:19.280]  I had another question about identifying yourself.
[01:49:19.280 --> 01:49:26.280]  Because, like, when you're probably pulled over, they're going to ask you for your license insurance and, you know,
[01:49:26.280 --> 01:49:32.280]  can you identify yourself by verbally stating your name and address and everything?
[01:49:32.280 --> 01:49:37.280]  Well, again, what does your statute say you have to do?
[01:49:37.280 --> 01:49:38.280]  Okay.
[01:49:38.280 --> 01:49:40.280]  So I'll refer back to that.
[01:49:40.280 --> 01:49:42.280]  Correct.
[01:49:42.280 --> 01:49:43.280]  Okay.
[01:49:43.280 --> 01:49:49.280]  So with the statute, so that will be, oh, okay.
[01:49:49.280 --> 01:49:50.280]  Statute.
[01:49:50.280 --> 01:49:51.280]  All right.
[01:49:51.280 --> 01:49:52.280]  Thank you.
[01:49:52.280 --> 01:49:53.280]  You're welcome.
[01:49:53.280 --> 01:49:54.280]  All right.
[01:49:54.280 --> 01:49:55.280]  That was pretty much my question.
[01:49:55.280 --> 01:49:56.280]  So thank you so much.
[01:49:56.280 --> 01:49:57.280]  You're very welcome.
[01:49:57.280 --> 01:49:58.280]  Thanks for calling in, George.
[01:49:58.280 --> 01:49:59.280]  All right.
[01:49:59.280 --> 01:50:00.280]  Bye.
[01:50:00.280 --> 01:50:01.280]  Bye-bye.
[01:50:01.280 --> 01:50:02.280]  All right, folks.
[01:50:02.280 --> 01:50:03.280]  That's it.
[01:50:03.280 --> 01:50:04.280]  I am out of callers.
[01:50:04.280 --> 01:50:05.280]  I need somebody to talk to.
[01:50:05.280 --> 01:50:08.280]  Are y'all going to listen to me all over again?
[01:50:08.280 --> 01:50:09.280]  Not that I'm not good at ranting.
[01:50:09.280 --> 01:50:12.280]  I think I'm getting better at it, actually.
[01:50:12.280 --> 01:50:17.280]  But in any case, when we start looking back to, let's go back to what we were talking
[01:50:17.280 --> 01:50:22.280]  about at the beginning of the show, and that is what an ordinance is and isn't, when you
[01:50:22.280 --> 01:50:29.280]  start comparing what happens in relation to an ordinance with Article III, Section 29
[01:50:29.280 --> 01:50:38.280]  through 39, 56, 49A and 62, you find out really, really quick that ordinances absolutely do
[01:50:38.280 --> 01:50:46.280]  not comply with the requirements of the Texas Constitution as to what is a valid, enforceable
[01:50:46.280 --> 01:50:50.280]  law that is binding on the public.
[01:50:50.280 --> 01:50:51.280]  Okay?
[01:50:51.280 --> 01:50:54.280]  Now, you've heard me say this before.
[01:50:54.280 --> 01:51:00.280]  If they're acting in a governmental capacity, the only way they can be doing that is by
[01:51:00.280 --> 01:51:08.280]  acting on a law specifically allowed and passed by the legislature that is not in violation
[01:51:08.280 --> 01:51:12.280]  of any other provision of the Texas Constitution.
[01:51:12.280 --> 01:51:19.280]  That means they can't create anything in their corporate capacity, which is where they create
[01:51:19.280 --> 01:51:24.280]  ordinances and use them against you and I.
[01:51:24.280 --> 01:51:33.280]  Because don't forget, over there in 56, Subsection A, it specifically said that anywhere a general
[01:51:33.280 --> 01:51:41.280]  law, that's a legislative enactment, has force and effect, a local or special law may not
[01:51:41.280 --> 01:51:44.280]  be passed.
[01:51:44.280 --> 01:51:50.280]  Well, if they're trying to say an ordinance is a local law, then that specifically forbids
[01:51:50.280 --> 01:51:54.280]  it because it's a law, it is forbidden.
[01:51:54.280 --> 01:52:01.280]  However, if it's not a law, then that means the legislature can't create a local special
[01:52:01.280 --> 01:52:08.280]  law that gives the municipality special privileges to create a tax.
[01:52:08.280 --> 01:52:12.280]  It's a catch-22 situation for them and they don't like it.
[01:52:12.280 --> 01:52:19.280]  That's why they abandoned the Texas Constitution to do what they want because the Texas
[01:52:19.280 --> 01:52:21.280]  Constitution was too limiting.
[01:52:21.280 --> 01:52:29.280]  That's why they changed the requirements of a bill from one object to one subject.
[01:52:29.280 --> 01:52:37.280]  See, an object means they can only define it against one physical thing or legal thing,
[01:52:37.280 --> 01:52:46.280]  not against a whole bunch of stuff that can be part and parcel to one subject, okay?
[01:52:46.280 --> 01:52:48.280]  That's their problem.
[01:52:48.280 --> 01:52:53.280]  They had it amended so that they can deal with a subject and thus create a whole bunch
[01:52:53.280 --> 01:52:56.280]  of statutes dealing with a whole bunch of stuff.
[01:52:56.280 --> 01:52:59.280]  It was just under one umbrella subject.
[01:52:59.280 --> 01:53:07.280]  That's why the codes and everything ballooned to 10 times their original size virtually
[01:53:07.280 --> 01:53:12.280]  overnight.
[01:53:12.280 --> 01:53:16.280]  All right, that being said, we have another caller up here, or we did have.
[01:53:16.280 --> 01:53:20.280]  That was Robert.
[01:53:20.280 --> 01:53:22.280]  Okay, well, let's see.
[01:53:22.280 --> 01:53:25.280]  At the moment, we have Doug up here while we wait for the other one to be screened.
[01:53:25.280 --> 01:53:28.280]  Doug, what can we do for you?
[01:53:28.280 --> 01:53:33.280]  Hey, I just wanted to thank you for actually doing your program.
[01:53:33.280 --> 01:53:37.280]  That's going to be pretty rare these days.
[01:53:37.280 --> 01:53:44.280]  Somebody actually, you know, when I tune in, I'm kind of talk radio junkie and I tune in,
[01:53:44.280 --> 01:53:50.280]  I don't want to hear KB each or I want to hear so-and-so, so-and-so, so-and-so.
[01:53:50.280 --> 01:54:00.280]  It seems like everybody went into hibernation and we're having a rerun or cast host
[01:54:00.280 --> 01:54:02.280]  or something like that.
[01:54:02.280 --> 01:54:10.280]  I just really appreciate what I'm looking for as I always do to listen to Eddie Craig
[01:54:10.280 --> 01:54:15.280]  tell it like it is or you're actually there telling it like it is.
[01:54:15.280 --> 01:54:18.280]  I just want to give you a compliment.
[01:54:18.280 --> 01:54:21.280]  Well, I appreciate that, Doug.
[01:54:21.280 --> 01:54:23.280]  Yeah.
[01:54:23.280 --> 01:54:25.280]  All right, well, thanks for calling in, man.
[01:54:25.280 --> 01:54:29.280]  If I think of anything else, you'd say about it.
[01:54:29.280 --> 01:54:32.280]  Well, just do me a favor and try not to call in when Randy and I are together
[01:54:32.280 --> 01:54:34.280]  and beat him up too bad, will you?
[01:54:34.280 --> 01:54:38.280]  He always tries to take that back out on me.
[01:54:38.280 --> 01:54:41.280]  Well, he should because you're the one that is.
[01:54:41.280 --> 01:54:48.280]  You're the one that informed me of what a scandal Randy was.
[01:54:48.280 --> 01:54:52.280]  Well, I don't know if I said those exact words, but thanks anyway, Doug.
[01:54:52.280 --> 01:54:53.280]  All right.
[01:54:53.280 --> 01:54:55.280]  All right, thanks for calling in, man.
[01:54:55.280 --> 01:54:56.280]  Yeah.
[01:54:56.280 --> 01:54:58.280]  All right, now we got Robert in Texas.
[01:54:58.280 --> 01:55:00.280]  Robert, what can we do for you?
[01:55:00.280 --> 01:55:02.280]  Well, how are you doing, Eddie?
[01:55:02.280 --> 01:55:06.280]  I just want to thank you again for all the stuff you do like Doug said there,
[01:55:06.280 --> 01:55:09.280]  but I said it quicker.
[01:55:09.280 --> 01:55:11.280]  Well, all right.
[01:55:11.280 --> 01:55:15.280]  Yeah, listen, I just want to share something with you.
[01:55:15.280 --> 01:55:20.280]  I've been noticing a couple of times the local police here have pulled people over
[01:55:20.280 --> 01:55:25.280]  and they've got people pulled over and then they whip out their cell phone
[01:55:25.280 --> 01:55:28.280]  and they make a phone call and then another cop shows up.
[01:55:28.280 --> 01:55:34.280]  And I thought this was kind of odd because it seems to me like they're trying to call them
[01:55:34.280 --> 01:55:39.280]  on their phones that way the call doesn't go out to harass the person
[01:55:39.280 --> 01:55:42.280]  allegedly engaged in transportation.
[01:55:42.280 --> 01:55:44.280]  The call won't be recorded on their thing.
[01:55:44.280 --> 01:55:47.280]  That's the only reason I can figure why they're doing this.
[01:55:47.280 --> 01:55:50.280]  But anyway, I just noticed that they were doing that.
[01:55:50.280 --> 01:55:52.280]  I noticed that a couple of times actually.
[01:55:52.280 --> 01:56:00.280]  But anyway, I also sent you a couple of donations to Capital Coin and Bullion
[01:56:00.280 --> 01:56:04.280]  and I urge everybody to get on the ball and send you some cash
[01:56:04.280 --> 01:56:08.280]  so you can keep up the good fight.
[01:56:08.280 --> 01:56:09.280]  Well, I appreciate that.
[01:56:09.280 --> 01:56:11.280]  Yeah, because, I mean, you're doing great work.
[01:56:11.280 --> 01:56:16.280]  And some of us, I mean, I went to court, I lost my case.
[01:56:16.280 --> 01:56:19.280]  My appeal time kind of collapsed.
[01:56:19.280 --> 01:56:25.280]  But when I was in there, the guy denied my hearing for my motion,
[01:56:25.280 --> 01:56:28.280]  special appearance motion to dismiss.
[01:56:28.280 --> 01:56:30.280]  That's the only reason I'm here.
[01:56:30.280 --> 01:56:40.280]  They simulated legal process on the warrant and all that by the court clerk.
[01:56:40.280 --> 01:56:44.280]  But anyway, I know that I can't probably do anything as far as an appeal,
[01:56:44.280 --> 01:56:48.280]  but I can still file criminal complaints, right?
[01:56:48.280 --> 01:56:49.280]  Correct.
[01:56:49.280 --> 01:56:52.280]  Yeah, so I'm going to be working on that too.
[01:56:52.280 --> 01:56:54.280]  I'll tell you what, Eddie, you're right.
[01:56:54.280 --> 01:56:55.280]  We've got to get off our butts.
[01:56:55.280 --> 01:56:58.280]  We've got to start fighting this stuff because, you know,
[01:56:58.280 --> 01:57:00.280]  it's getting worse and worse and worse.
[01:57:00.280 --> 01:57:04.280]  And I'll tell you what, I lose a lot of sleep just thinking about this stuff.
[01:57:04.280 --> 01:57:08.280]  And I think you need to make, like, some kind of boot camp or something
[01:57:08.280 --> 01:57:10.280]  so you can train clones, like you said,
[01:57:10.280 --> 01:57:14.280]  because, I mean, we need to really get the ball moving on this stuff.
[01:57:14.280 --> 01:57:19.280]  We need to really start fighting this stuff because they've gone too far.
[01:57:19.280 --> 01:57:24.280]  I mean, I've had arguments out here in front of my property
[01:57:24.280 --> 01:57:27.280]  when they come on here telling me I can't own the property I own.
[01:57:27.280 --> 01:57:32.280]  You know, in other words, my cars, my automobiles, and I ask them,
[01:57:32.280 --> 01:57:36.280]  well, where's your certification to be enforcing the transportation code
[01:57:36.280 --> 01:57:39.280]  on my private property anyway?
[01:57:39.280 --> 01:57:42.280]  You know, oh, and I have another question too, by the way.
[01:57:42.280 --> 01:57:43.280]  Okay.
[01:57:43.280 --> 01:57:45.280]  On the tax issue because I know, you know,
[01:57:45.280 --> 01:57:51.280]  you fought the taxes on your mom's property and that kind of started it all for you.
[01:57:51.280 --> 01:57:53.280]  Okay, you're going to have to rush.
[01:57:53.280 --> 01:57:57.280]  From a private attorney, that's simulating legal process, isn't it?
[01:57:57.280 --> 01:57:58.280]  What part?
[01:57:58.280 --> 01:58:00.280]  You know, when they send you, you know,
[01:58:00.280 --> 01:58:02.280]  a possible tax lien on your property,
[01:58:02.280 --> 01:58:06.280]  that's simulating legal process from a private attorney, isn't it?
[01:58:06.280 --> 01:58:10.280]  You have to look and see what legal process means in order to answer that question.
[01:58:10.280 --> 01:58:14.280]  Yeah, well, I mean, they say that I owe the next amount.
[01:58:14.280 --> 01:58:15.280]  Well, that's a tax bill.
[01:58:15.280 --> 01:58:19.280]  The question is whether or not it's properly assessed and signed.
[01:58:19.280 --> 01:58:20.280]  Yeah.
[01:58:20.280 --> 01:58:21.280]  Okay?
[01:58:21.280 --> 01:58:24.280]  Okay, well, I mean, you know, I ordered your seminar,
[01:58:24.280 --> 01:58:27.280]  but that, you know, of course there's nothing in there on the tax info.
[01:58:27.280 --> 01:58:29.280]  Could I email you and get some of that information?
[01:58:29.280 --> 01:58:30.280]  You can email me.
[01:58:30.280 --> 01:58:31.280]  I'll see what I can send you.
[01:58:31.280 --> 01:58:32.280]  All right, Robert, I got to go.
[01:58:32.280 --> 01:58:33.280]  I'm out of time here.
[01:58:33.280 --> 01:58:36.280]  All right, folks, thank you all so much for calling in.
[01:58:36.280 --> 01:58:38.280]  I appreciate the kudos and everything.
