[00:32.920 --> 00:37.520]  pens of their favorite anarchists and volunteer symbols, including the best-selling Badges

[01:02.440 --> 01:03.700]  And now the news.
[01:03.700 --> 01:08.320]  The city of Austin is cracking down on childhood obesity by attempting to pass a resolution
[01:08.320 --> 01:13.720]  that would restrict fast food and restaurants from locating near areas that children frequent.
[01:13.720 --> 01:16.960]  Their goal is to create, quote, healthy food zones.
[01:16.960 --> 01:20.760]  These areas include schools, municipal parks and libraries.
[01:20.760 --> 01:24.520]  Critics of the move called the proposal a total government overreach, while some support
[01:24.520 --> 01:29.480]  forcing citizens onto healthier foods by placing restrictions on fast food restaurants.
[01:29.480 --> 01:34.280]  City Council is voting on this measure at the upcoming meeting Thursday, November 21st.
[01:34.280 --> 01:38.920]  If the proposal is passed, the restrictions will only apply to new fast food restaurants,
[01:38.920 --> 01:45.040]  leaving currently located fast food businesses unaffected.
[01:45.040 --> 01:49.460]  On Thursday, November 21st, the Alliance of Austin Agorists will be holding its first
[01:49.460 --> 01:54.680]  official networking party from 6 to 10 p.m. with special guest speaker Charles W. Johnson
[01:54.680 --> 01:56.280]  joining via Skype.
[01:56.280 --> 02:00.480]  The event will be held at Brave New Books in Austin, Texas, located at 1904 Guadalupe
[02:00.480 --> 02:01.480]  Street.
[02:01.480 --> 02:05.800]  The Alliance of Austin Agorists is a grassroots organization made up of individuals that seek
[02:05.800 --> 02:09.140]  change through peaceful, post-political, direct action.
[02:09.140 --> 02:12.760]  The organization is looking for individuals interested in growing the counter-economy,
[02:12.760 --> 02:16.320]  building community, or just looking to make liberty-minded friends.
[02:16.320 --> 02:21.000]  For more information, contact the Alliance through Facebook at Facebook.com slash Alliance
[02:21.000 --> 02:30.320]  of Austin Agorists or email them at Alliance of Austin Agorists at gmail.com.
[02:30.320 --> 02:35.760]  Fukushima plant operators have begun the process of removing over 1,500 nuclear fuel rods from
[02:35.760 --> 02:38.920]  one of four reactors at the damaged nuclear power plant.
[02:38.920 --> 02:43.760]  The BBC says the delicate operation is seen as necessary for stabilizing the site.
[02:43.760 --> 02:47.600]  The work, which began Monday, is expected to take about one year for completion and
[02:47.600 --> 02:51.760]  is the first step towards what authorities are referring to as a full cleanup of the power
[02:51.760 --> 02:52.760]  plant.
[02:52.760 --> 02:56.920]  Support for the Liberty Bee comes from Cabo Bob's Baja California Style Burritos.
[02:56.920 --> 03:24.880]  Find them online at Cabobobs.com.
[03:24.880 --> 03:46.560]  My
[03:46.560 --> 04:00.560]  Take all the rope in Texas by the tall old tree, Round up all of them bad boys, Hang up high on the street, For all the people to see.
[04:00.560 --> 04:08.560]  That justice is the one thing you should always find, You gotta settle up your boys, you gotta draw a hard line.
[04:08.560 --> 04:16.560]  When the gun smoke settles, we'll sing a victory tune, And we'll haul me back at the local snow.
[04:16.560 --> 04:29.560]  We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces singing, Let's get for my men before my horses.
[04:29.560 --> 04:38.560]  Alright folks, good evening. This is Rule of Law Radio. This is November 18th, Monday night traffic show with your host, Eddie Craig.
[04:38.560 --> 04:44.560]  I want to thank all of you out there that are listening, and for those that came to class this weekend.
[04:44.560 --> 04:56.560]  Now, there's something that I want to discuss this evening about an email that's been going around for ages, but it keeps resurging every now and then.
[04:56.560 --> 05:02.560]  And first I want to read to you more or less the contents of it. It's fairly short.
[05:02.560 --> 05:10.560]  But it's gone out in different forms, both separate from each other and sometimes together like they did in this one that I received.
[05:10.560 --> 05:19.560]  But the longer I do this with people, the more I come to realize that people don't think things through anymore.
[05:19.560 --> 05:27.560]  They take a subject that they think they understand, and they become reactionary to anything related to it.
[05:27.560 --> 05:39.560]  And when I say reactionary, that means that anything that happens, they're instantly motivated to react to it, even if they don't know if the reaction is the right one.
[05:39.560 --> 05:49.560]  Or they're never properly prepared to deal with the circumstances associated with the reaction.
[05:49.560 --> 06:07.560]  They basically jump the gun more often than not and wind up in hot water they cannot extricate themselves from without a lot of help because basically they just dig themselves in up to their neck before they start asking for any.
[06:07.560 --> 06:13.560]  Thinking they know what's happening when in fact they didn't really understand it at all.
[06:13.560 --> 06:21.560]  Now the subject matter of this email, both pieces of it, one of it deals, one piece of it deals with a constitutional convention.
[06:21.560 --> 06:26.560]  The other part of it deals with a 28th Amendment to the Constitution.
[06:26.560 --> 06:39.560]  Now, whoever is putting this out is hoping that most Americans are ignorant enough to think this is actually a good idea.
[06:39.560 --> 06:47.560]  And based on the number of times I keep seeing these emails pop up, they've got ignorance in large numbers available to them.
[06:47.560 --> 06:58.560]  Let me explain to you why neither a constitutional convention nor the verbiage of this proposed 28th Amendment are an acceptable remedy.
[06:58.560 --> 07:12.560]  First off, you would have to understand what a constitutional convention is and what authorizes a constitutional to be called and how it gets to be called.
[07:12.560 --> 07:20.560]  If you don't understand those three things, why in the world would you jump on the bandwagon screaming to have one?
[07:20.560 --> 07:30.560]  That's like jumping on the bandwagon for free colonoscopies and having no clue what it is a colonoscopy is or what it does.
[07:30.560 --> 07:34.560]  And you're volunteering to go get one yourself.
[07:34.560 --> 07:36.560]  Well, no thank you.
[07:36.560 --> 07:42.560]  I prefer to know what I'm getting into at least as much as possible before I go getting into it.
[07:42.560 --> 07:48.560]  But that doesn't seem to be everybody's way of doing things, obviously.
[07:48.560 --> 07:50.560]  But let's go in this for a minute.
[07:50.560 --> 07:55.560]  I want to explain to you where the constitutional convention concept comes from.
[07:55.560 --> 08:04.560]  It is actually written into Article 5 of the Federal Constitution, and this is Article 5 as it exists.
[08:04.560 --> 08:13.560]  The Congress, whenever two-thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution.
[08:13.560 --> 08:24.560]  Or, on the application of the legislators of two-thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments,
[08:24.560 --> 08:33.560]  which in either case shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of this Constitution.
[08:33.560 --> 08:43.560]  When ratified by the legislators of three-fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three-fourths thereof,
[08:43.560 --> 08:49.560]  as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress.
[08:49.560 --> 08:56.560]  Provided that no amendment, which may be made prior to the year 1808,
[08:56.560 --> 09:02.560]  shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article,
[09:02.560 --> 09:09.560]  and that no state without its consent shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.
[09:09.560 --> 09:16.560]  Now, you folks that listen to this show, you've heard me say before the Federal Constitution hasn't existed for a long time.
[09:16.560 --> 09:21.560]  And we know this simply because nobody's obeying it.
[09:21.560 --> 09:28.560]  They pay it lip service only, and only when it will serve them to do so.
[09:28.560 --> 09:31.560]  Otherwise, it doesn't apply.
[09:31.560 --> 09:32.560]  And we know this.
[09:32.560 --> 09:39.560]  Well, let's just take some of the real-world things we're seeing today that in nowhere within either any state or the Federal Constitution
[09:39.560 --> 09:42.560]  is there a clause that allows for this to happen.
[09:42.560 --> 09:49.560]  Yet these are the things that are going on right now that are blatantly unconstitutional on their face and are provably so.
[09:49.560 --> 09:57.560]  Governmental immunity from prosecution or lawsuit for crimes perpetrated against the public.
[09:57.560 --> 10:02.560]  Judicial immunity for dishonest service as a judge.
[10:02.560 --> 10:11.560]  Prosecutorial immunity for intentionally secreting evidence or tampering with it or with witnesses
[10:11.560 --> 10:20.560]  in order to secure a conviction of someone they don't have actual evidence against or know to be innocent of the crime.
[10:20.560 --> 10:29.560]  Direct domain, direct taxation of the people in any form.
[10:29.560 --> 10:36.560]  Taking us off of the gold and silver standard as the lawful currency of the United States of America
[10:36.560 --> 10:41.560]  within each of the several states, which is forbidden by this same document
[10:41.560 --> 10:50.560]  to accept or exchange anything other than gold and silver coin as payment or a debt.
[10:50.560 --> 10:51.560]  Okay?
[10:51.560 --> 10:59.560]  Those are just a few of the things that they're doing that are absolutely unconstitutional and illegal.
[10:59.560 --> 11:03.560]  We won't even, we don't even have to get into Obamacare and all this other stuff that they're doing
[11:03.560 --> 11:07.560]  because 99% of it is just as bad or worse.
[11:07.560 --> 11:14.560]  I'm here to itemize everything because I would die in this chair before I would even get halfway through that list.
[11:14.560 --> 11:18.560]  So if you think this document is out there for your protection, think again.
[11:18.560 --> 11:23.560]  It doesn't exist anymore and the powers that be are fully aware of that.
[11:23.560 --> 11:27.560]  That's why they ignore it with impunity.
[11:27.560 --> 11:34.560]  But let's just say for grins and giggles that they wish to keep the impression of it alive
[11:34.560 --> 11:39.560]  and they want you to continue to think that it does exist so you'll keep relying on it
[11:39.560 --> 11:42.560]  and they keep beating you up with it on down the road.
[11:42.560 --> 11:48.560]  So they want to maintain the illusion for as long as possible because the moment the majority of Americans
[11:48.560 --> 11:53.560]  ceases to believe that the Constitution is doing what it was intended to do
[11:53.560 --> 11:57.560]  and the public servants are not abiding by it wholesale,
[11:57.560 --> 12:05.560]  then we're going to have a whole different situation that's going to evolve from that little epiphany of the general public.
[12:05.560 --> 12:11.560]  But we're not there yet, unfortunately, but it's true.
[12:11.560 --> 12:18.560]  So if they want to keep this alive and they actually decide to have a Constitutional Convention,
[12:18.560 --> 12:28.560]  why in the world would any of you believe that you or I, anybody with a libertarian or a libertarian anarchist mindset
[12:28.560 --> 12:33.560]  would be allowed to participate?
[12:33.560 --> 12:35.560]  I mean, right here it tells you.
[12:35.560 --> 12:40.560]  Now, what I'm reading to you is from the Senate reference copy of the Constitution.
[12:40.560 --> 12:44.560]  What you have is the actual phrasing of the Constitution on one side,
[12:44.560 --> 12:53.560]  and next to that you have it broken down into basic English for your inept representatives to understand.
[12:53.560 --> 12:57.560]  This is what is summarized for Article 5.
[12:57.560 --> 13:00.560]  The Constitution may be amended in two ways.
[13:00.560 --> 13:08.560]  The standard device used for all amendments so far is for both Houses of Congress to pass by two-thirds vote proposal,
[13:08.560 --> 13:15.560]  which they send to the state for ratification, either by state legislatures or by conventions within the state.
[13:15.560 --> 13:20.560]  An amendment is ratified when three-fourths of the states approve.
[13:20.560 --> 13:28.560]  The Constitution also authorizes a national convention when two-thirds of the states petition Congress for such a convention
[13:28.560 --> 13:34.560]  to propose amendments, which would also have to be ratified by three-quarters of the states.
[13:34.560 --> 13:42.560]  Now, do you see right here what this is telling you about who shall participate in a Constitutional convention?
[13:42.560 --> 13:51.560]  Congress, the one you have right now, the morons selling you down the river and destroying America,
[13:51.560 --> 14:01.560]  is one side of the equation, and then at the state level the same morons that are selling you down the river are the other side of the equation.
[14:01.560 --> 14:12.560]  You and I are not in this mix anywhere, just like we were not at the original Constitutional convention.
[14:12.560 --> 14:23.560]  So why in the world would you think that the Constitution would be changed in a way that works for the people,
[14:23.560 --> 14:27.560]  rather than for those that are making the changes?
[14:27.560 --> 14:34.560]  They already are enemies of the state by the way they subvert it, destroy it, ignore it.
[14:34.560 --> 14:42.560]  Why would you think they would allow it to be amended in a way that would take away the power they have worked so hard to steal,
[14:42.560 --> 14:50.560]  that would limit their ability to become more wealthy off of the backs of you and me?
[14:50.560 --> 14:56.560]  Why would you think this would ever be a good idea?
[14:56.560 --> 15:03.560]  The only one I can think of is A, you're a sheep and you're following the herd, or you're limbing and following the herd,
[15:03.560 --> 15:12.560]  or B, you don't know what the hell is going on and what the result of this could possibly be if this actually happens,
[15:12.560 --> 15:22.560]  or C, you're not even paying attention, you don't care, let them do what they want to, just like they're already doing.
[15:22.560 --> 15:30.560]  And then those of us that see the handwriting on the wall to know what would result from this are out here trying to get those that are going,
[15:30.560 --> 15:36.560]  yeah, let's do it, yeah, let's do it, to think a little bit first.
[15:36.560 --> 15:42.560]  Everybody that's out there that's passing this email around thinking this is a good idea, guess who you represent?
[15:42.560 --> 15:53.560]  You represent that individual that gets drunk or stoned in the middle of the night, goes out to the local city pool,
[15:53.560 --> 16:02.560]  gets on the high dive and jumps and doesn't bother to check to see if there's water in the pool first.
[16:02.560 --> 16:09.560]  And unfortunately for you, it's pool cleaning weekend.
[16:09.560 --> 16:19.560]  So that's where you're wanting us to follow you when you support this little idiocy right here that these people are calling for.
[16:19.560 --> 16:26.560]  Because once a Constitutional Convention starts, we cannot limit what gets amended.
[16:26.560 --> 16:28.560]  You understand that?
[16:28.560 --> 16:34.560]  They can change any part of the Constitution and a Constitutional Convention they wish to.
[16:34.560 --> 16:39.560]  Part of it, all of it, we can't prevent it.
[16:39.560 --> 16:45.560]  It would be extremely dangerous to put that option in the hands of these people.
[16:45.560 --> 16:47.560]  You need to understand that.
[16:47.560 --> 16:49.560]  All right, folks, I'm going to pick this up on the other side.
[16:49.560 --> 16:54.560]  This is Rule of Law Radio 512-646-1984.
[16:54.560 --> 17:00.560]  Y'all hang on, we will be right back.

[17:06.560 --> 17:11.560]  People feed their pets better than they feed themselves, and it's time we changed all that.
[17:11.560 --> 17:17.560]  Our primary defense against aging and disease in this toxic environment is good nutrition.
[17:17.560 --> 17:25.560]  In a world where natural foods have been irradiated, adulterated and mutilated, young Jevity can provide the nutrients you need.

[19:08.560 --> 19:31.560]  All right, folks.
[19:31.560 --> 19:32.560]  We are back.
[19:32.560 --> 19:34.560]  This is Rule of Law Radio.
[19:34.560 --> 19:39.560]  Calling number 512-646-1984.
[19:39.560 --> 19:42.560]  Now, continuing on with this a little bit.
[19:42.560 --> 19:51.560]  Once they take over the Constitutional Convention, which you know they will, you've already got the people in Congress that are selling us out.
[19:51.560 --> 19:57.560]  They are doing everything to enrich themselves and increase their power and control over the American people.
[19:57.560 --> 20:03.560]  Why in the world do you think the Second Amendment would still exist in a Constitutional Convention rewrite?
[20:03.560 --> 20:09.560]  Why do you think any of the amendments or the original Bill of Rights would exist in a Constitutional rewrite?
[20:09.560 --> 20:11.560]  It wouldn't.
[20:11.560 --> 20:17.560]  The whole thing would be changed to make government the ultimate power and people the ultimate slaves.
[20:17.560 --> 20:18.560]  You know it.
[20:18.560 --> 20:26.560]  If you don't know it, get off my planet because you are endangering the rest of us.
[20:26.560 --> 20:29.560]  People just don't think anymore.
[20:29.560 --> 20:31.560]  And it's aggravating to me.
[20:31.560 --> 20:33.560]  Okay?
[20:33.560 --> 20:34.560]  It is just aggravating.
[20:34.560 --> 20:39.560]  I have an absolute aboriginal aversion.
[20:39.560 --> 20:49.560]  I mean just completely medical reaction to stupidity.
[20:49.560 --> 20:54.560]  It's an allergic reaction of the nth magnitude.
[20:54.560 --> 21:02.560]  When I hear people say this and it is so obvious to me, they have not thought about the consequences.
[21:02.560 --> 21:07.560]  That, folks, is what I mean about reactionary.
[21:07.560 --> 21:08.560]  Oh, that sounds good.
[21:08.560 --> 21:11.560]  Let's just, yeah, that will fix it.
[21:11.560 --> 21:13.560]  Let's go do it.
[21:13.560 --> 21:23.560]  And have no clue that once this turnball starts at the top of the hill, how big it's going to be when it runs over all of us at the bottom.
[21:23.560 --> 21:26.560]  Nobody thinks about that.
[21:26.560 --> 21:31.560]  It's time to start using your brains.
[21:31.560 --> 21:35.560]  Now, the second part of this e-mail is almost as bad.
[21:35.560 --> 21:36.560]  Why?
[21:36.560 --> 21:44.560]  Because it proves to me that the public education indoctrination is complete.
[21:44.560 --> 21:46.560]  Okay?
[21:46.560 --> 22:05.560]  Part of that being in this e-mail, these people are saying that the 28th Amendment should be passed forbidding Congress to pass any law that does not apply equally to itself as it does to the American people.
[22:05.560 --> 22:14.560]  Now, for those of you that actually understand our form of government, you will see right away why that thought process is severely flawed.
[22:14.560 --> 22:22.560]  But for the majority of folks that don't, let me see if I can enlighten you just a little bit.
[22:22.560 --> 22:34.560]  The people of the several states were never intended to have direct contact with the federal government for any reason, never, ever, ever.
[22:34.560 --> 22:41.560]  The federal government interacted only with the state government, not the people within it.
[22:41.560 --> 22:56.560]  And the limitation of that interaction was set forth in the 18 enumerated powers within the federal Constitution, where such power applied to something that the states had a hand in.
[22:56.560 --> 23:02.560]  Beyond that, all power, rights, and everything else was left to the states and the people.
[23:02.560 --> 23:07.560]  That's exactly what it says.
[23:07.560 --> 23:27.560]  Yet we see the federal government at every turn going above and beyond any of that, and the federal courts helping them do it by making rulings that you and I, using actual common sense, could and should know right away aren't possible.
[23:27.560 --> 23:39.560]  And yet, everybody wants equality between laws passed that affect Congress and laws passed that affect the people of the several states.
[23:39.560 --> 23:58.560]  They don't and cannot pass laws that directly affect the people of the several states. Federal jurisdiction in that area does not exist.
[23:58.560 --> 24:01.560]  Am I being clear on that?
[24:01.560 --> 24:12.560]  Congress cannot pass a law that directly affects the people of the several states.
[24:12.560 --> 24:15.560]  End of federal jurisdiction.
[24:15.560 --> 24:29.560]  How federal law gets its hands around the throats of the people is because our state legislators sell us out to the federal funding money.
[24:29.560 --> 24:45.560]  In order to get federal funds, the state government must implement a state version of the federal statute before that statute could have any effect upon the people of the state.
[24:45.560 --> 24:50.560]  That's where your 10th Amendment comes in, people.
[24:50.560 --> 25:08.560]  The state cannot be compelled to allow the federal legislation to have direct access to the people, but they've chosen to sell you out in the interest of the federal funds.
[25:08.560 --> 25:34.560]  In other words, your so-called representatives are bought and paid for extensions of the federal government and thus betrayed you and their oath of office the moment they voted on any bill supported by federal funds that implemented a federal law that had direct effect upon you and me.
[25:34.560 --> 25:38.560]  Can you say Obamacare?
[25:38.560 --> 25:39.560]  Think about this.
[25:39.560 --> 26:03.560]  How in the world would it have been any harder for the states to say no to federal funding of the highways and the states simply kept the money and built them themselves and thus no driver's license required because no one was engaged in commerce that the feds could regulate?
[26:03.560 --> 26:06.560]  Ta-da.
[26:06.560 --> 26:12.560]  Or any of the gun laws or any of the drug laws, any of the hemp laws, any of that.
[26:12.560 --> 26:13.560]  Pick one.
[26:13.560 --> 26:15.560]  Pick 50.
[26:15.560 --> 26:22.560]  Without the cooperation of your state legislators selling you out, it would have never been allowed to happen.
[26:22.560 --> 26:26.560]  Couldn't have happened.
[26:26.560 --> 26:36.560]  But we've let them run our state government like a frickin' fast food franchise where everything is about getting the customer's money.
[26:36.560 --> 26:39.560]  Doesn't matter that you're going to sell them goods that'll kill them.
[26:39.560 --> 26:46.560]  Doesn't matter that you're selling them stuff that'll ruin their health, that'll make their kids grow stupid.
[26:46.560 --> 26:47.560]  Doesn't matter.
[26:47.560 --> 26:50.560]  It's about the money.
[26:50.560 --> 26:53.560]  We've allowed our state to become corporatized.
[26:53.560 --> 26:55.560]  No other word for it.
[26:55.560 --> 26:59.560]  Corporatism is alive and well in America and we have no states.
[26:59.560 --> 27:03.560]  We have federal corporations.
[27:03.560 --> 27:12.560]  That's exactly what we the people have allowed our individual sovereign states to become, federal corporations.
[27:12.560 --> 27:21.560]  So when you refer to a statute and it says this state, that's more akin to what it's referring to.
[27:21.560 --> 27:28.560]  This state is the corporate representative of the federal government in this particular region.
[27:28.560 --> 27:30.560]  Not straw man.
[27:30.560 --> 27:32.560]  They didn't convert you and me to a corporation.
[27:32.560 --> 27:33.560]  It's none of that stuff.
[27:33.560 --> 27:45.560]  And I'm not saying that this is exactly what happened in a truly legal sense, but in a functional sense, it is precisely what's happened.
[27:45.560 --> 27:58.560]  All you have to do is follow the money and look at the voting and look at the implementations and look at the statutes and laws that have jumped up in the states surrounding them and that will be proven true.
[27:58.560 --> 28:02.560]  Unavoidably so, in fact.
[28:02.560 --> 28:14.560]  Congress cannot pass laws that affect themselves the same way it does the American people because they cannot pass laws that directly affect the American people.
[28:14.560 --> 28:18.560]  No jurisdiction to do so.
[28:18.560 --> 28:21.560]  No authority to do so.
[28:21.560 --> 28:31.560]  It is your state representatives and only your state representatives that even make that possible.
[28:31.560 --> 28:33.560]  Comprende?
[28:33.560 --> 28:41.560]  That people is what a Republican form of government is rather than a Democratic one.
[28:41.560 --> 28:55.560]  You and I should never have allowed ourselves to ever be led into the belief that our rights were subject to a vote by majority, minority, or at all.
[28:55.560 --> 28:59.560]  Because they aren't.
[28:59.560 --> 29:03.560]  None of our rights are subject to a vote.
[29:03.560 --> 29:14.560]  But by being apathetic and saying, oh, let them deal with it, it don't affect me none, well, that just proves you were playing the part of the old fabled ostrich with his head in the sand.
[29:14.560 --> 29:23.560]  Which, by the way, they don't actually do, but for some reason, that fairy tale has been around for God knows how long as well.
[29:23.560 --> 29:26.560]  But the symbology is accurate.
[29:26.560 --> 29:36.560]  Because that's what most people in America have done to avoid the honest truth about what's being done to this nation and we the people in it.
[29:36.560 --> 29:42.560]  We always want somebody else to fix it so that we don't have to sacrifice or fight to do it ourselves.
[29:42.560 --> 29:47.560]  And that is a very sad state of affairs for this nation.
[29:47.560 --> 29:52.560]  All right, folks, this is Rule of Law Radio 512-646-1984.
[29:52.560 --> 29:59.560]  There's a call-in number. Debbie, hang on. I'll pick you up on the other side of the break. We will be right back.
[29:59.560 --> 30:05.560]  Remember Facebook's pledge to stop using tracking cookies to spy on users?
[30:05.560 --> 30:08.560]  Well, the cookies are back and creepier than ever.
[30:08.560 --> 30:14.560]  I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht, and I'll tell you how Facebook snoops on users even after they log off next.
[30:14.560 --> 30:16.560]  Privacy is under attack.
[30:16.560 --> 30:20.560]  When you give up data about yourself, you'll never get it back again.
[30:20.560 --> 30:25.560]  And once your privacy is gone, you'll find your freedoms will start to vanish too.
[30:25.560 --> 30:30.560]  So protect your rights, say no to surveillance, and keep your information to yourself.
[30:30.560 --> 30:33.560]  Privacy, it's worth hanging on to.
[30:33.560 --> 30:40.560]  This public service announcement is brought to you by StartPage.com, the private search engine alternative to Google, Yahoo, and Bing.
[30:40.560 --> 30:43.560]  Start over with StartPage.
[30:43.560 --> 30:50.560]  Cookies are bits of data stored on your computer when you visit websites, and many sites are using them to secretly monitor your browsing.
[30:50.560 --> 30:55.560]  They're privacy poison and favorites of the social networking site, Facebook.
[30:55.560 --> 30:59.560]  When Facebook was caught using tracking cookies a while back, they promised to stop.
[30:59.560 --> 31:06.560]  But an Australian blogger has discovered those tracking cookies are once again watching visitors on Facebook-integrated sites,
[31:06.560 --> 31:10.560]  even when the users don't have Facebook accounts. Yikes.
[31:10.560 --> 31:15.560]  Lawsuits are already underway, but if you really want to protect yourself from online data grabs,
[31:15.560 --> 31:18.560]  configure your browser to automatically delete cookies.
[31:18.560 --> 31:22.560]  And beware of Facebook, just as you would any other thief.
[31:22.560 --> 31:30.560]  I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht. More news and information at CatherineAlbrecht.com.
[31:30.560 --> 31:35.560]  This is Building 7, a 47-story skyscraper that fell on the afternoon of September 11.
[31:35.560 --> 31:37.560]  The government says that fire brought it down.
[31:37.560 --> 31:42.560]  However, 1,500 architects and engineers have concluded it was a controlled demolition.
[31:42.560 --> 31:45.560]  Over 6,000 of my fellow service members have given their lives.
[31:45.560 --> 31:48.560]  And thousands of my fellow first responders have died.
[31:48.560 --> 31:49.560]  I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
[31:49.560 --> 31:50.560]  I'm a structural engineer.
[31:50.560 --> 31:52.560]  I'm a New York City correction officer.
[31:52.560 --> 31:53.560]  I'm an Air Force pilot.
[31:53.560 --> 31:54.560]  I'm a father who lost his son.
[31:54.560 --> 31:57.560]  We're Americans, and we deserve the truth.
[31:57.560 --> 32:00.560]  Go to RememberBuilding7.org today.
[32:00.560 --> 32:04.560]  Rule of Law Radio is proud to offer the Rule of Law traffic seminar.
[32:04.560 --> 32:07.560]  In today's America, we live in an us-against-them society.
[32:07.560 --> 32:09.560]  And if we, the people, are ever going to have a free society,
[32:09.560 --> 32:12.560]  then we're going to have to stand and defend our own rights.
[32:12.560 --> 32:15.560]  Among those rights are the right to travel freely from place to place,
[32:15.560 --> 32:17.560]  the right to act in our own private capacity,
[32:17.560 --> 32:19.560]  and most importantly, the right to due process of law.
[32:19.560 --> 32:23.560]  Traffic courts afford us the least expensive opportunity to learn how to enforce
[32:23.560 --> 32:25.560]  and preserve our rights through due process.
[32:25.560 --> 32:28.560]  Former Sheriff's Deputy Eddie Craig, in conjunction with Rule of Law Radio,
[32:28.560 --> 32:30.560]  has put together the most comprehensive teaching tool available
[32:30.560 --> 32:34.560]  that will help you understand what due process is and how to hold courts to the rule of law.

[33:24.560 --> 33:29.560]  Okay.
[33:29.560 --> 33:31.560]  All right, folks, we are back.
[33:31.560 --> 33:37.560]  This is Rule of Law Radio calling number 512-646-1984.
[33:37.560 --> 33:39.560]  All right, I got a couple of callers on the board.
[33:39.560 --> 33:41.560]  I am going to need some more.
[33:41.560 --> 33:43.560]  So let's get the phones ringing.
[33:43.560 --> 33:45.560]  Right now we're going to go to Debbie in Texas.
[33:45.560 --> 33:48.560]  Debbie, what can we do for you?
[33:48.560 --> 33:51.560]  Yes, in the morning I'm going before the grand jury.
[33:51.560 --> 33:54.560]  It will be my second time that I've gone.
[33:54.560 --> 34:00.560]  The first time the deputy district attorney was the person who
[34:00.560 --> 34:06.560]  swore me in, and he was quite upset that I was going under the laws of
[34:06.560 --> 34:09.560]  another credible person.
[34:09.560 --> 34:16.560]  And so he basically kicked me out and rescheduled me for in the morning.
[34:16.560 --> 34:24.560]  Well, I need to kick him out of the grand jury, but I don't want to end up in
[34:24.560 --> 34:27.560]  jail or do anything wrong.
[34:27.560 --> 34:31.560]  And also, do I allow him to swear me in?
[34:31.560 --> 34:34.560]  Because I thought it was the foreman's job to do that.
[34:34.560 --> 34:41.560]  No, ma'am, the foreman is not authorized to administer owes.
[34:41.560 --> 34:50.560]  Not even under Article, I think it's 20.16 of the penal code of Chapter 20.
[34:50.560 --> 34:51.560]  Of the penal code?
[34:51.560 --> 34:53.560]  Yes.
[34:53.560 --> 34:55.560]  I'd have to look at that real quick.
[34:55.560 --> 34:56.560]  Hang on just a second and I'll look.
[34:56.560 --> 34:58.560]  Twenty point what?
[34:58.560 --> 35:00.560]  Sixteen.
[35:00.560 --> 35:05.560]  Twenty point sixteen.
[35:05.560 --> 35:09.560]  Chapter 20 deals with kidnapping.
[35:09.560 --> 35:11.560]  Are they criminal?
[35:11.560 --> 35:14.560]  Are you talking the code of criminal procedure or the penal code?
[35:14.560 --> 35:17.560]  They're two different codes.
[35:17.560 --> 35:21.560]  Let's see, it's the Texas criminal.
[35:21.560 --> 35:23.560]  Code of criminal procedure?
[35:23.560 --> 35:24.560]  Yes.
[35:24.560 --> 35:34.560]  Okay.
[35:34.560 --> 35:39.560]  Well, yeah, right there in the 20.16, the foreman is specifically ordered to do
[35:39.560 --> 35:40.560]  it, in fact.
[35:40.560 --> 35:42.560]  So you are correct.
[35:42.560 --> 35:46.560]  Twenty point one six owes to witnesses, subsection A, the following oath shall
[35:46.560 --> 35:50.560]  be administered by the foreman or under the foreman's direction to each
[35:50.560 --> 35:52.560]  witness before being interrogated.
[35:52.560 --> 35:56.560]  You solemnly swear that you will not reveal by your words of conduct and will
[35:56.560 --> 35:59.560]  keep secret any matter about which you may be interrogated or that you have
[35:59.560 --> 36:02.560]  observed during the proceedings of the grand jury and that you will answer
[36:02.560 --> 36:06.560]  truthfully the questions asked of you by the grand jury or under its direction,
[36:06.560 --> 36:08.560]  so help you God.
[36:08.560 --> 36:12.560]  Well, now, this is probably related to if they subpoena you.
[36:12.560 --> 36:17.560]  If you're going in to see them, there may be a different set of rules here for
[36:17.560 --> 36:20.560]  that.
[36:20.560 --> 36:21.560]  Okay.
[36:21.560 --> 36:27.560]  My problem is I can't afford to have anybody in the district attorney's
[36:27.560 --> 36:29.560]  office to be there.
[36:29.560 --> 36:33.560]  And you can simply tell the foreman that the complaint has to do with
[36:33.560 --> 36:36.560]  individuals associated with the district attorney's office and I would request
[36:36.560 --> 36:40.560]  that you please have him removed from the room or ask him to leave.
[36:40.560 --> 36:44.560]  The foreman has the power to order anybody else other than the grand jury
[36:44.560 --> 36:48.560]  members and the witnesses out of the grand jury room while they're conducting
[36:48.560 --> 36:50.560]  mis- But I do not have that power.
[36:50.560 --> 36:51.560]  You don't.
[36:51.560 --> 36:58.560]  You can ask the foreman to do it, but it's up to him whether or not he does it.
[36:58.560 --> 37:02.560]  But yeah, the sections you're talking about, this deals with witnesses called
[37:02.560 --> 37:04.560]  in by the grand jury.
[37:04.560 --> 37:08.560]  Now, if there is something different in here relating to you going to the grand
[37:08.560 --> 37:14.560]  jury direct, I don't know if there's anything in here for that or not.
[37:14.560 --> 37:18.560]  But at the moment, I don't see a distinction between the two, but there could
[37:18.560 --> 37:21.560]  be one.
[37:21.560 --> 37:28.560]  If there's not a distinction between the two.
[37:28.560 --> 37:30.560]  Then you're still talking about two different issues.
[37:30.560 --> 37:35.560]  You're still talking about the administering of the oath versus having the
[37:35.560 --> 37:39.560]  assistant DA in the room.
[37:39.560 --> 37:41.560]  So there's still two different things.
[37:41.560 --> 37:51.560]  However, if, for instance, yeah, Article 20.03, attorney representing state
[37:51.560 --> 37:52.560]  entitled to appear.
[37:52.560 --> 37:55.560]  The attorney representing the state means the attorney general, district attorney,
[37:55.560 --> 37:57.560]  criminal district attorney, or county attorney.
[37:57.560 --> 38:01.560]  The attorney representing the state is entitled to go before the grand jury and
[38:01.560 --> 38:04.560]  inform them of offenses liable to indictment at any time except when they are
[38:04.560 --> 38:08.560]  discussing the propriety of finding an indictment or voting upon the same.
[38:08.560 --> 38:09.560]  Okay.
[38:09.560 --> 38:16.560]  So there is an exception right there, except when they are discussing the
[38:16.560 --> 38:21.560]  propriety of finding an indictment, which is what presumably you're going in
[38:21.560 --> 38:24.560]  there to do against someone in the DA's office, right?
[38:24.560 --> 38:25.560]  Yes.
[38:25.560 --> 38:26.560]  Okay.
[38:26.560 --> 38:32.560]  Then you can invoke 20.03 exception.
[38:32.560 --> 38:35.560]  20.03.
[38:35.560 --> 38:36.560]  Yes.
[38:36.560 --> 38:39.560]  Okay.
[38:39.560 --> 38:45.560]  Now do I put my objection before I'm sworn in or after I'm sworn in?
[38:45.560 --> 38:50.560]  After you're sworn in, you can ask him to have the DA's or assistant DA remove
[38:50.560 --> 38:55.560]  from the room under 20.03 because you are seeking an indictment against
[38:55.560 --> 38:58.560]  individuals in that office.
[38:58.560 --> 38:59.560]  Okay.
[38:59.560 --> 39:03.560]  Super.
[39:03.560 --> 39:04.560]  Thank you so much.
[39:04.560 --> 39:05.560]  You're very welcome.
[39:05.560 --> 39:06.560]  Thanks for calling in, Debbie.
[39:06.560 --> 39:07.560]  Thank you.
[39:07.560 --> 39:08.560]  Bye-bye.
[39:08.560 --> 39:09.560]  Bye-bye.
[39:09.560 --> 39:10.560]  All right.
[39:10.560 --> 39:13.560]  Call in number 512-646-1984.
[39:13.560 --> 39:15.560]  We're going to go to Rob in New Mexico.
[39:15.560 --> 39:17.560]  Rob, what can I do for you?
[39:17.560 --> 39:19.560]  Hey, Eddie.
[39:19.560 --> 39:20.560]  Okay.
[39:20.560 --> 39:22.560]  A little bit of brief background.
[39:22.560 --> 39:28.560]  I got a sheriff's deputy went after me earlier in the year for animals roaming at
[39:28.560 --> 39:35.560]  large in a fenced out state due to my goat escaping my yard.
[39:35.560 --> 39:41.560]  I filed a challenge of jurisdiction motion to dismiss, and they ran and dropped it.
[39:41.560 --> 39:46.560]  Going after them, I'm putting together a 1983 suit against the two deputies
[39:46.560 --> 39:51.560]  involved and the judge involved and the court to the county court involved.
[39:51.560 --> 39:54.560]  I also want to name the county commissioners.
[39:54.560 --> 39:55.560]  Okay.
[39:55.560 --> 39:56.560]  Wait, wait, wait.
[39:56.560 --> 40:00.560]  Siding were violated by the 1983.
[40:00.560 --> 40:01.560]  Due process.
[40:01.560 --> 40:03.560]  For one, due process.
[40:03.560 --> 40:06.560]  They did everything wrong up to dropping it.
[40:06.560 --> 40:07.560]  Okay.
[40:07.560 --> 40:12.560]  Well, what did they do that caused you a harm that violated your right of due process,
[40:12.560 --> 40:19.560]  which is the harm, of course, but how are you asserting that harm was made?
[40:19.560 --> 40:20.560]  Okay.
[40:20.560 --> 40:22.560]  Well, New Mexico is a fenced out state.
[40:22.560 --> 40:27.560]  So I'm not obligated to keep my animals fenced in.
[40:27.560 --> 40:33.560]  So going after me under a county ordinance claiming that I had to keep my animals
[40:33.560 --> 40:39.560]  fenced in was a violation of my right to liberty and property.
[40:39.560 --> 40:43.560]  Does the state constitution specifically say it's a fenced out state or does the
[40:43.560 --> 40:46.560]  state legislature say that?
[40:46.560 --> 40:48.560]  Ouch.
[40:48.560 --> 40:50.560]  Can't answer that right now.
[40:50.560 --> 40:52.560]  Okay.
[40:52.560 --> 40:54.560]  Well, here's why you need to know the difference.
[40:54.560 --> 40:58.560]  If the constitution of your state says that it's a fenced out state, then the
[40:58.560 --> 41:05.560]  legislature nor the county can create law that supersedes the constitution in
[41:05.560 --> 41:07.560]  that regard.
[41:07.560 --> 41:13.560]  If the legislature created exceptions and you're within them, the county cannot
[41:13.560 --> 41:20.560]  legislate in such a way as to supersede state law unless the state law gave them
[41:20.560 --> 41:23.560]  particular authority to do certain things.
[41:23.560 --> 41:27.560]  But then the question becomes who can they authorize them to do those things
[41:27.560 --> 41:29.560]  to?
[41:29.560 --> 41:30.560]  You follow?
[41:30.560 --> 41:33.560]  And that's where I wanted to go next.
[41:33.560 --> 41:36.560]  That actually relates to my question about the county commissioners.
[41:36.560 --> 41:43.560]  There was a similar case last year in a neighboring county where a guy was being
[41:43.560 --> 41:45.560]  prosecuted for animals roaming at large.
[41:45.560 --> 41:46.560]  He beat it.
[41:46.560 --> 41:47.560]  The county appealed it.
[41:47.560 --> 41:48.560]  He beat it again.
[41:48.560 --> 41:50.560]  It went to the state Supreme Court.
[41:50.560 --> 41:53.560]  The state Supreme Court said, no, it's a fenced out state.
[41:53.560 --> 41:54.560]  You can't do that.
[41:54.560 --> 41:56.560]  And he won there.
[41:56.560 --> 42:00.560]  New Mexico does have a home rule statute.
[42:00.560 --> 42:03.560]  Yeah, but the home rule doesn't apply to counties.
[42:03.560 --> 42:06.560]  It applies to municipalities.
[42:06.560 --> 42:07.560]  Okay.
[42:07.560 --> 42:10.560]  I thought it applied to both, but what it specifically says...
[42:10.560 --> 42:14.560]  No, a county can have more than one municipality in it, can it not?
[42:14.560 --> 42:16.560]  Right, right.
[42:16.560 --> 42:20.560]  Well, where I was going with that is that the statute, the home rule statute
[42:20.560 --> 42:26.560]  specifically states that in order for them to enact an ordinance that would have
[42:26.560 --> 42:32.560]  the authority of law, their county or their charter has to provide for that.
[42:32.560 --> 42:34.560]  That's irrelevant.
[42:34.560 --> 42:41.560]  Their charter does not supersede the delegation of powers of your particular
[42:41.560 --> 42:43.560]  state constitution.
[42:43.560 --> 42:48.560]  If your state constitution limits lawmaking authority to your legislature,
[42:48.560 --> 42:52.560]  then your city or your county cannot create an ordinance as binding law.
[42:52.560 --> 42:57.560]  For instance, here in Texas, it specifically states in our Constitution under
[42:57.560 --> 43:04.560]  Article 3 that no bill shall have the force and effect of law if it is not
[43:04.560 --> 43:09.560]  enacted according to these specific procedures.
[43:09.560 --> 43:13.560]  And if it doesn't comply with those procedures, it does not have the force
[43:13.560 --> 43:15.560]  and effect of law.
[43:15.560 --> 43:21.560]  Well, the legislature cannot delegate an authority it doesn't have.
[43:21.560 --> 43:28.560]  If the Constitution said this is how all actual law must be created,
[43:28.560 --> 43:35.560]  then it absolutely prevents any ordinance from being an actual law.
[43:35.560 --> 43:37.560]  Follow?
[43:37.560 --> 43:38.560]  Right.
[43:38.560 --> 43:41.560]  Okay, hang on and we'll pick that up on the other side.
[43:41.560 --> 43:46.560]  All right, folks, 512-646-1984 is the call-in number.

[43:51.560 --> 43:52.560]  So y'all hang on, listen in.

[46:14.560 --> 46:27.560]  All right, folks, we are back.
[46:27.560 --> 46:29.560]  This is Rule of Law Radio.
[46:29.560 --> 46:31.560]  All right, we're going back to Rob in New Mexico.
[46:31.560 --> 46:34.560]  All right, Rob, go ahead.
[46:34.560 --> 46:38.560]  Okay, Article 10, Section 6 talks about municipal home rule,
[46:38.560 --> 46:41.560]  doesn't say anything about county home rule.
[46:41.560 --> 46:44.560]  That's in the New Mexico Constitution,
[46:44.560 --> 46:50.560]  and I cannot find anything in the New Mexico Constitution that talks about animals or livestock or roaming at large.
[46:50.560 --> 47:00.560]  Is there anything in your Article 10 that says that the municipality is granted authority to create binding law?
[47:00.560 --> 47:06.560]  Well, what it says here is for the purpose of electing some or all of the members of the governing body of the municipality,
[47:06.560 --> 47:14.560]  blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, any member of the governing body of a municipality representing a district shall be a resident.
[47:14.560 --> 47:20.560]  I'm not seeing anything where it talks about anything other than school boards and elections.
[47:20.560 --> 47:22.560]  Yeah, and that's generally the way most of them are written.
[47:22.560 --> 47:27.560]  They're written where they can create ordinances that deal with their internal operations,
[47:27.560 --> 47:34.560]  but they can't take those ordinances and slap them onto the backs of the people that live there, not without their consent,
[47:34.560 --> 47:42.560]  because an ordinance under no stretch of the imagination can be considered a valid binding law
[47:42.560 --> 47:52.560]  because it's not enacted according to the manner that your specific state constitution requires a law to be enacted by.
[47:52.560 --> 47:58.560]  I think where they're claiming to get their authority is here in Section D,
[47:58.560 --> 48:07.560]  where the municipality which adopts a charter may exercise all legislative powers and perform all functions not expressly denied by general law or charter.
[48:07.560 --> 48:14.560]  But then it says this grant of power shall not include the power to enact private or civil law governing civil relationships
[48:14.560 --> 48:18.560]  except as incident to exercise an independent municipal power,
[48:18.560 --> 48:23.560]  nor shall it include the power to provide for a penalty greater than the penalty provided for a federal misdemeanor.
[48:23.560 --> 48:24.560]  Right.
[48:24.560 --> 48:26.560]  The first part of that's all you need right there.
[48:26.560 --> 48:30.560]  They cannot legislate in the area of private or civil law, period.
[48:30.560 --> 48:31.560]  Okay.
[48:31.560 --> 48:33.560]  You and I are private.
[48:33.560 --> 48:41.560]  So the fact that they've done that or attempted to do that gives me a claim against the county commissioners, correct?
[48:41.560 --> 48:46.560]  If they're the ones that attempted to enact it, yeah, or if they're the ones responsible.
[48:46.560 --> 48:49.560]  Who's responsible for the people enforcing it?
[48:49.560 --> 48:51.560]  The county commissioners.
[48:51.560 --> 48:55.560]  It was the sheriff's deputy, right, as well as the sheriff himself.
[48:55.560 --> 48:59.560]  Right, right.
[48:59.560 --> 49:05.560]  So that's my next, well, my first question then was as far as county commissioners,
[49:05.560 --> 49:14.560]  would I name the ones who are currently sitting or the ones who created the ordinance?
[49:14.560 --> 49:19.560]  When were you harmed?
[49:19.560 --> 49:21.560]  This year.
[49:21.560 --> 49:24.560]  So who was sitting when you were harmed?
[49:24.560 --> 49:26.560]  Right, okay.
[49:26.560 --> 49:31.560]  I just, I wasn't sure since I was naming them personally.
[49:31.560 --> 49:34.560]  You can't go after them for enacting the legislation.
[49:34.560 --> 49:39.560]  You can only go after those who enforced it knowing it was wrong.
[49:39.560 --> 49:40.560]  Okay.
[49:40.560 --> 49:45.560]  Or who should have known it was wrong.
[49:45.560 --> 49:46.560]  All right.
[49:46.560 --> 49:48.560]  Well, that answers that question.
[49:48.560 --> 49:54.560]  My next topic, kind of along the lines of a handy thing, but I know you do this too,
[49:54.560 --> 50:01.560]  and that's going after public servants criminally.
[50:01.560 --> 50:04.560]  We need to go to war against these people.
[50:04.560 --> 50:11.560]  Specifically, I'm talking about what happened Saturday with the New Mexico State police firing into that minivan full of kids.
[50:11.560 --> 50:12.560]  Okay.
[50:12.560 --> 50:15.560]  First off, did you watch that video?
[50:15.560 --> 50:16.560]  Yeah, I did.
[50:16.560 --> 50:18.560]  Wait, wait, wait, wait.
[50:18.560 --> 50:20.560]  I'm sorry, the traveler was a moron?
[50:20.560 --> 50:21.560]  No.
[50:21.560 --> 50:24.560]  The mother was irresponsibly stupid.
[50:24.560 --> 50:26.560]  No question of that.
[50:26.560 --> 50:33.560]  She should have known very well what the result of her peeling out in that van was going to be with armed cops.
[50:33.560 --> 50:39.560]  Now, normally I wouldn't take this position, but I watched that video several times.
[50:39.560 --> 50:44.560]  The officer that fired on the van did not know there were kids in the van.
[50:44.560 --> 50:47.560]  He didn't know who was in the van.
[50:47.560 --> 50:57.560]  He had just arrived on the scene and was walking up to the rear of the van when he saw the other policeman almost get run over by the van taking off.
[50:57.560 --> 51:08.560]  So he reacted like cops do and drew his weapon and fired at the driver, the alleged driver, thinking that they were attempting to hurt the other officer.
[51:08.560 --> 51:12.560]  At least that was the grounds he was going to base his shoot on.
[51:12.560 --> 51:24.560]  But in his particular defense in that instance, he didn't know there was kids unless that had been relayed over the radio by the officers that were already on the scene.
[51:24.560 --> 51:27.560]  And we don't know if that happened.
[51:27.560 --> 51:34.560]  She was an idiot for putting her kids at risk that way.
[51:34.560 --> 51:36.560]  Absolutely.
[51:36.560 --> 51:37.560]  I agree completely on that.
[51:37.560 --> 51:38.560]  Okay.
[51:38.560 --> 51:42.560]  There's no question of that in my mind after watching that video.
[51:42.560 --> 51:50.560]  These guys are getting more and more trigger happy and with their, you know, cavity probes and everything else that they're doing.
[51:50.560 --> 51:51.560]  I mean, this is just...
[51:51.560 --> 51:53.560]  I'm not debating that.
[51:53.560 --> 52:03.560]  And the fact that he just pulled his gun and shot when he didn't know that an officer had been injured or was actually attempting to be injured, that's inexcusable.
[52:03.560 --> 52:06.560]  The use of deadly force in that regard, that's just not going to apply.
[52:06.560 --> 52:08.560]  Yeah.
[52:08.560 --> 52:09.560]  But...
[52:09.560 --> 52:13.560]  Yeah, and I think we need to start going after these guys criminally and holding them accountable.
[52:13.560 --> 52:15.560]  Well, that would be nice, but...
[52:15.560 --> 52:18.560]  They need to be responsible with their power.
[52:18.560 --> 52:24.560]  That would be nice, but until we change a lot of other things, that's not going to happen any sooner than the rest of it.
[52:24.560 --> 52:28.560]  Mm-hmm.
[52:28.560 --> 52:36.560]  Remember, when you're going after the cops, you're going after one of the symptoms of what's wrong.
[52:36.560 --> 52:47.560]  The cops would not be able to do what they're doing and they wouldn't be willing to do what they're doing if the people above them and around them were not covering their backside for them.
[52:47.560 --> 52:48.560]  Right.
[52:48.560 --> 52:56.560]  And then those people wouldn't be willing to do it if they could be held criminally liable under the law for the behavior of that officer.
[52:56.560 --> 52:58.560]  Absolutely.
[52:58.560 --> 53:00.560]  So where is the real problem?
[53:00.560 --> 53:06.560]  Is it down there where the officer is or is it the people above him that allowed him to get to this stage?
[53:06.560 --> 53:10.560]  Actually, it's on this end of the phone because I haven't done anything until now.
[53:10.560 --> 53:12.560]  Exactly.
[53:12.560 --> 53:20.560]  Ultimately, the people at the top are you and me and we're not doing enough to hold these guys accountable.
[53:20.560 --> 53:22.560]  No.
[53:22.560 --> 53:24.560]  I'm tired of being reactive, Eddie.
[53:24.560 --> 53:26.560]  I don't want to start being proactive.
[53:26.560 --> 53:28.560]  Well, that's the way we've got to do it.
[53:28.560 --> 53:37.560]  We've got to go in and we've got to hold some noses down to the floor and kick them in the butt while they're bent over.
[53:37.560 --> 53:39.560]  Good deal.
[53:39.560 --> 53:40.560]  Okay.
[53:40.560 --> 53:42.560]  Well, I think that's all I had for you tonight.
[53:42.560 --> 53:43.560]  Okay.
[53:43.560 --> 53:44.560]  Well, thanks for calling in, Rob.
[53:44.560 --> 53:45.560]  All right.
[53:45.560 --> 53:46.560]  Thank you, Eddie.
[53:46.560 --> 53:47.560]  God bless.
[53:47.560 --> 53:48.560]  You too.
[53:48.560 --> 53:49.560]  Bye-bye.
[53:49.560 --> 53:50.560]  All right.
[53:50.560 --> 53:52.560]  Now we're going to go to Rob in Illinois.
[53:52.560 --> 53:54.560]  Rob, what can we do for you?
[53:54.560 --> 53:55.560]  Hi, Eddie.
[53:55.560 --> 53:58.560]  This is Rob from Chicago, land area, Illinois.
[53:58.560 --> 54:01.560]  Glad to be on the call again.
[54:01.560 --> 54:04.560]  I have just two things I want to bring up first.
[54:04.560 --> 54:13.560]  I had a friend who had some luck after eight months of arguing with these so-called public servants when they went in
[54:13.560 --> 54:23.560]  and told them that I'm one of the people and that they said, you're a public servant and I expect honest services from my public servants.
[54:23.560 --> 54:26.560]  So that's just a little tidbit of information there.
[54:26.560 --> 54:34.560]  The other one is this whole probable cause thing I hear all the time about, oh, the cop had the probable cause to pull you over.
[54:34.560 --> 54:43.560]  And maybe you could shed some light on this because I'm looking at Article 4 of the Constitution, the federal Constitution,
[54:43.560 --> 54:51.560]  and it says the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and facts against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated
[54:51.560 --> 54:58.560]  and no warrants shall but upon probable cause supported by author affirmation and then blah, blah, blah.
[54:58.560 --> 55:07.560]  Now, a couple of years back, I was pulled over by a city employee who said that I went on some yellow line or white line
[55:07.560 --> 55:11.560]  and said that that was his excuse for pulling me over.
[55:11.560 --> 55:14.560]  And I didn't, of course, go on any yellow or white line.
[55:14.560 --> 55:16.560]  He was just making it up.
[55:16.560 --> 55:22.560]  And I guess would that be his probable cause because he thought I was drinking and driving?
[55:22.560 --> 55:31.560]  And what kind of an excuse is that because this whole probable cause just opens up the floodgates for any stupid reason in the world?
[55:31.560 --> 55:33.560]  Well, you're right.
[55:33.560 --> 55:35.560]  And that's part of the problem with it.
[55:35.560 --> 55:43.560]  But at the same time, that probable cause, the way it's defined by the courts, works like this.
[55:43.560 --> 55:52.560]  Any officer that has reason to believe based upon his experience and knowledge of the circumstances currently in his presence or view
[55:52.560 --> 56:04.560]  can use the culmination of all of that to make a determination as to whether or not a crime is likely being committed, okay?
[56:04.560 --> 56:13.560]  In which case he can articulate, if he can articulate the facts that give that probable cause viewpoint,
[56:13.560 --> 56:18.560]  then the courts will hold the probable cause as sustainable and justifiable,
[56:18.560 --> 56:24.560]  provided that everything that he can articulate leads up to an actual indication of a crime.
[56:24.560 --> 56:36.560]  Now, there's tons of case law, state and federal, that makes it very clear that simply touching or crossing the line in the highway is not a direct indication of being under the influence,
[56:36.560 --> 56:42.560]  nor is it a direct indication of there actually being a crime in progress.
[56:42.560 --> 56:51.560]  The issue becomes whether or not it's repetitive or it's gross, as in you don't just go over the line a little bit.
[56:51.560 --> 56:56.560]  Or you travel for a quarter of a mile in the wrong lane, okay?
[56:56.560 --> 57:01.560]  Or you travel straddling the lane for as far as you're going.
[57:01.560 --> 57:08.560]  Now, my grandmother, as an example, whenever she would be coming home from work at night,
[57:08.560 --> 57:14.560]  she would always, on the farm market road that she lived on, as soon as she got on the road,
[57:14.560 --> 57:22.560]  she would straddle the center line with whatever car she was in, and that's where she would travel, is down the center of the road.
[57:22.560 --> 57:28.560]  She would move over when there was oncoming traffic, but as soon as it passed her, she would move back to the center.
[57:28.560 --> 57:33.560]  Well, a sheriff's deputy saw her doing that one night and pulled her over.
[57:33.560 --> 57:37.560]  When he got up to the window and saw her age and everything, he asked her,
[57:37.560 --> 57:44.560]  ma'am, can you tell me if there's a good reason why you're going down the middle of the road?
[57:44.560 --> 57:48.560]  And she told him, yes, on this road there are lots of deer out at night.
[57:48.560 --> 57:55.560]  As long as I'm in the middle of the road, I have more reaction time if they run out in the road in front of me
[57:55.560 --> 58:01.560]  to get to move and not have to run off the road and possibly lose control.
[58:01.560 --> 58:07.560]  She had a very valid reason for what she was doing, none of which were related to being under the influence,
[58:07.560 --> 58:16.560]  and which was perfectly justifiable, even though, technically, it violated the rules.
[58:16.560 --> 58:20.560]  So the deputy was like, well, that makes perfect sense to me.
[58:20.560 --> 58:24.560]  You have a good night and be safe, and that was the end of it.
[58:24.560 --> 58:28.560]  Now, if they would all use common sense like that when they're doing that,
[58:28.560 --> 58:32.560]  the world would be a better, happier place when we have to interact with these guys.
[58:32.560 --> 58:35.560]  But not all of them have that common sense anymore,
[58:35.560 --> 58:39.560]  and not all of them look at it as something that is reasonable to do,
[58:39.560 --> 58:42.560]  even though it violates the so-called rule.
[58:42.560 --> 58:45.560]  All right, hang on, Rob. We'll be back in just a minute.
[58:45.560 --> 58:50.560]  512-646-1984, people. Give me a call. We'll be right back.
[58:50.560 --> 58:54.560]  The Bible remains the most popular book in the world,
[58:54.560 --> 58:58.560]  and most of its readers are frustrated because they struggle to understand it.
[58:58.560 --> 59:02.560]  Some new translations try to help by simplifying the text,
[59:02.560 --> 59:07.560]  but in the process can compromise the profound meaning of the scripture.
[59:07.560 --> 59:09.560]  Enter the recovery version.
[59:09.560 --> 59:13.560]  First, this new translation is extremely faithful and accurate,
[59:13.560 --> 59:18.560]  but the real story is the more than 9,000 explanatory footnotes.
[59:18.560 --> 59:22.560]  Difficult and profound passages are opened up in a marvelous way,
[59:22.560 --> 59:27.560]  providing an entrance into the riches of the Word beyond which you've ever experienced before.
[59:27.560 --> 59:33.560]  Bibles for America would like to give you a free recovery version simply for the asking.

[01:01:02.560 --> 01:01:03.560]  And now the news.
[01:01:03.560 --> 01:01:08.560]  The city of Austin is cracking down on childhood obesity by attempting to pass a resolution
[01:01:08.560 --> 01:01:13.560]  that would restrict fast food and restaurants from locating near areas that children frequent.
[01:01:13.560 --> 01:01:16.560]  Their goal is to create, quote, healthy food zones.
[01:01:16.560 --> 01:01:20.560]  These areas include schools, municipal parks, and libraries.
[01:01:20.560 --> 01:01:23.560]  Critics of the move called the proposal a total government overreach,
[01:01:23.560 --> 01:01:28.560]  while some support forcing citizens onto healthier foods by placing restrictions on fast food restaurants.
[01:01:28.560 --> 01:01:33.560]  The city council is voting on this measure at the upcoming meeting Thursday, November 21st.
[01:01:33.560 --> 01:01:38.560]  If the proposal is passed, the restrictions will only apply to new fast food restaurants,
[01:01:38.560 --> 01:01:44.560]  leaving currently located fast food businesses unaffected.
[01:01:44.560 --> 01:01:49.560]  On Thursday, November 21st, the Alliance of Austin Agorists will be holding its first official
[01:01:49.560 --> 01:01:55.560]  networking party from 6 to 10 p.m. with special guest speaker Charles W. Johnson joining via Skype.
[01:01:55.560 --> 01:02:00.560]  The event will be held at Brave New Books in Austin, Texas, located at 1904 Guadalupe Street.
[01:02:00.560 --> 01:02:05.560]  The Alliance of Austin Agorists is a grassroots organization made up of individuals
[01:02:05.560 --> 01:02:08.560]  that seek change through peaceful, post-political, direct action.
[01:02:08.560 --> 01:02:12.560]  The organization is looking for individuals interested in growing the counter economy,
[01:02:12.560 --> 01:02:15.560]  building community, or just looking to make liberty-minded friends.
[01:02:15.560 --> 01:02:22.560]  For more information, contact the Alliance through Facebook at Facebook.com slash Alliance of Austin Agorists

[01:02:27.560 --> 01:02:35.560]  Fukushima plant operators have begun the process of removing over 1,500 nuclear fuel rods
[01:02:35.560 --> 01:02:38.560]  from one of four reactors at the damaged nuclear power plant.
[01:02:38.560 --> 01:02:43.560]  The BBC says the delicate operation is seen as necessary for stabilizing the site.
[01:02:43.560 --> 01:02:47.560]  The work, which began Monday, is expected to take about one year for completion
[01:02:47.560 --> 01:02:52.560]  and is the first step towards what authorities are referring to as a full cleanup of the power plant.
[01:02:52.560 --> 01:02:57.560]  Support for the Liberty Beat comes from Cabo Bob's Baja California Style Burritos.
[01:02:57.560 --> 01:03:00.560]  Find them online at Cabobobs.com.
[01:03:00.560 --> 01:03:09.560]  It's all according to the will of the Almighty.
[01:03:09.560 --> 01:03:17.560]  I read his book and it says he cares not for the unsightly.
[01:03:17.560 --> 01:03:21.560]  Alright, folks, we are back. This is Rule of Law Radio.
[01:03:21.560 --> 01:03:23.560]  We're going to finish up with Rob in Illinois.
[01:03:23.560 --> 01:03:25.560]  Alright, Rob.
[01:03:25.560 --> 01:03:28.560]  Eddie, yeah, the Rob from New Mexico.
[01:03:28.560 --> 01:03:34.560]  So I'm going to send you an email and if you could, if he wants to email you,
[01:03:34.560 --> 01:03:38.560]  you can act as an intermediary or whatever here for us.
[01:03:38.560 --> 01:03:45.560]  I have some information to send him and you about that Title 42 lawsuit.
[01:03:45.560 --> 01:03:49.560]  So some very good information that may help this situation.
[01:03:49.560 --> 01:03:51.560]  Okay.
[01:03:51.560 --> 01:03:53.560]  Alright, that'll be fine.
[01:03:53.560 --> 01:03:56.560]  Feel free to pass that out once I get it in your hands.
[01:03:56.560 --> 01:03:58.560]  Okay.
[01:03:58.560 --> 01:04:02.560]  So, anyways, keep up the good work and thanks for being on the show.
[01:04:02.560 --> 01:04:04.560]  Alright, well, thanks.
[01:04:04.560 --> 01:04:05.560]  Appreciate you calling in.
[01:04:05.560 --> 01:04:06.560]  Okay, thank you.
[01:04:06.560 --> 01:04:07.560]  Thank you. Bye-bye.
[01:04:07.560 --> 01:04:08.560]  Bye-bye.
[01:04:08.560 --> 01:04:11.560]  Alright, now we're going to go to Larry in Missouri.
[01:04:11.560 --> 01:04:14.560]  That is Missouri, right?
[01:04:14.560 --> 01:04:15.560]  Yes, sir.
[01:04:15.560 --> 01:04:17.560]  Okay. What can we do for you, Larry?
[01:04:17.560 --> 01:04:19.560]  Hey, Eddie.
[01:04:19.560 --> 01:04:25.560]  A few, well, more than a few shows ago, a while back I heard a podcast of you
[01:04:25.560 --> 01:04:28.560]  talking about personal property taxes.
[01:04:28.560 --> 01:04:29.560]  Uh-huh.
[01:04:29.560 --> 01:04:35.560]  And I remember, I don't remember if you were talking to that in regard to...
[01:04:35.560 --> 01:04:39.560]  Okay, Larry, you've got a real tenuous connection.
[01:04:39.560 --> 01:04:43.560]  You keep blurring out in what you're saying there.
[01:04:43.560 --> 01:04:47.560]  If you're on a cell phone or something, try to find a clearer signal if you can, please.
[01:04:47.560 --> 01:04:48.560]  Is it better?
[01:04:48.560 --> 01:04:49.560]  For the moment, yeah.
[01:04:49.560 --> 01:04:53.560]  You have to talk a little bit and we'll see if it continues.
[01:04:53.560 --> 01:04:57.560]  You were speaking about personal property taxes before on a previous show,
[01:04:57.560 --> 01:05:00.560]  and I don't know if that was in respect to taxes.
[01:05:00.560 --> 01:05:02.560]  Does taxes have personal property taxes?
[01:05:02.560 --> 01:05:04.560]  Yes.
[01:05:04.560 --> 01:05:05.560]  Okay.
[01:05:05.560 --> 01:05:06.560]  Well, they think they do.
[01:05:06.560 --> 01:05:07.560]  Let me put it that way.
[01:05:07.560 --> 01:05:08.560]  Okay.
[01:05:08.560 --> 01:05:10.560]  No, so does Missouri.
[01:05:10.560 --> 01:05:17.560]  And so I was wondering if you could please elaborate, because I heard the podcast,
[01:05:17.560 --> 01:05:20.560]  but I wasn't able to write down what you were saying.
[01:05:20.560 --> 01:05:23.560]  I wanted to talk a little bit more about, remember the show,
[01:05:23.560 --> 01:05:28.560]  you were discussing personal property taxes and then versus private property.
[01:05:28.560 --> 01:05:31.560]  They don't make that distinction and they just label everything...
[01:05:31.560 --> 01:05:34.560]  They label everything real property.
[01:05:34.560 --> 01:05:35.560]  Real property, right.
[01:05:35.560 --> 01:05:36.560]  Okay.
[01:05:36.560 --> 01:05:40.560]  And then they label every accouterment associated with it personal property.
[01:05:40.560 --> 01:05:47.560]  But the thing about it is, is there's no authorization, and never has been for that matter,
[01:05:47.560 --> 01:05:51.560]  for our representatives to tax our private property.
[01:05:51.560 --> 01:05:53.560]  And the reason for that is very simple.
[01:05:53.560 --> 01:05:57.560]  If we have the right to own it and they can tax it and take it away,
[01:05:57.560 --> 01:06:00.560]  then it's not actually a right to own it, nor is it a right to use it,
[01:06:00.560 --> 01:06:03.560]  nor is it a right to anything.
[01:06:03.560 --> 01:06:05.560]  If they cannot tax our inherent rights,
[01:06:05.560 --> 01:06:09.560]  how can they tax our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
[01:06:09.560 --> 01:06:13.560]  when the acquisition of property is exactly what the federal courts have ruled time
[01:06:13.560 --> 01:06:19.560]  and time again constitutes the exercise of the happiness,
[01:06:19.560 --> 01:06:23.560]  the acquisition and disposal of private personal property?
[01:06:23.560 --> 01:06:28.560]  The difference here is what we actually authorize the states to regulate and tax.
[01:06:28.560 --> 01:06:32.560]  There's nothing in the Texas Constitution that allows for direct taxation
[01:06:32.560 --> 01:06:34.560]  of the people's private property.
[01:06:34.560 --> 01:06:38.560]  In fact, when you look at the way that the property taxes were always done,
[01:06:38.560 --> 01:06:43.560]  you must voluntarily render property for the purpose of taxation
[01:06:43.560 --> 01:06:48.560]  before the state of Texas was ever allowed to tax it.
[01:06:48.560 --> 01:06:50.560]  How did you go through the process of rendering?
[01:06:50.560 --> 01:06:54.560]  Well, you had to render property if you were going to vote to support
[01:06:54.560 --> 01:07:00.560]  or in favor of a fiscal bill that required public funds to implement.
[01:07:00.560 --> 01:07:06.560]  You voted yes, and you agreed to help pay to finance that bill you voted yes on
[01:07:06.560 --> 01:07:09.560]  by rendering property for that purpose.
[01:07:09.560 --> 01:07:18.560]  That's why only landowners could vote on fiscal bills originally,
[01:07:18.560 --> 01:07:23.560]  because they're the only ones that had property that could be taxed over time
[01:07:23.560 --> 01:07:26.560]  to ensure the funding for the bill was there.
[01:07:26.560 --> 01:07:30.560]  They had to render a certain amount of property for the purpose of taxation
[01:07:30.560 --> 01:07:36.560]  to the state until the bill was fulfilled either by the term of the obligation
[01:07:36.560 --> 01:07:38.560]  or they finished the project under budget,
[01:07:38.560 --> 01:07:43.560]  which as you and I both know a government entity has never done.
[01:07:43.560 --> 01:07:44.560]  Right.
[01:07:44.560 --> 01:07:46.560]  Okay.
[01:07:46.560 --> 01:07:51.560]  So let me ask you this.
[01:07:51.560 --> 01:08:00.560]  So what would be, in Missouri we receive our personal property bills or statements
[01:08:00.560 --> 01:08:03.560]  here at the end of the year, somewhere around this timeframe.
[01:08:03.560 --> 01:08:06.560]  Is it too late to contest?
[01:08:06.560 --> 01:08:12.560]  I'm sorry if I'm asking this stupid question, but is it too late to contest?
[01:08:12.560 --> 01:08:16.560]  Well, how would someone contest?
[01:08:16.560 --> 01:08:21.560]  Well, again, that all depends entirely on what situation you're actually in.
[01:08:21.560 --> 01:08:27.560]  If you're a commercial property owner, then you're not going to be able to contest it.
[01:08:27.560 --> 01:08:32.560]  The only question there becomes are they following the actual statutes that were
[01:08:32.560 --> 01:08:36.560]  written in the way they were written in order to properly tax?
[01:08:36.560 --> 01:08:39.560]  That's the only question if it's commercial property.
[01:08:39.560 --> 01:08:43.560]  If it's private property, then you have to do your research based upon your
[01:08:43.560 --> 01:08:48.560]  constitutional history within your state and what the people of that state
[01:08:48.560 --> 01:08:52.560]  originally set up relating to taxation.
[01:08:52.560 --> 01:09:00.560]  I mean, when you consider it from a logical standpoint, let's say just on a,
[01:09:00.560 --> 01:09:04.560]  we're going to give a small example, but we're going to use it as representative
[01:09:04.560 --> 01:09:07.560]  of a global scale, okay?
[01:09:07.560 --> 01:09:12.560]  Let's say that your neighborhood is the whole world.
[01:09:12.560 --> 01:09:20.560]  And there are approximately 30 families that live in your world, okay?
[01:09:20.560 --> 01:09:22.560]  Yes.
[01:09:22.560 --> 01:09:28.560]  Does any one of those neighbors in that world have the authority to come to you
[01:09:28.560 --> 01:09:35.560]  and tell you, the other neighbors elected me to collect money from all of the
[01:09:35.560 --> 01:09:44.560]  other neighbors because we want to build a communal swimming pool over there?
[01:09:44.560 --> 01:09:47.560]  Can they force you to give them money to pay for that?
[01:09:47.560 --> 01:09:49.560]  No.
[01:09:49.560 --> 01:09:52.560]  You have the right to support the pool or not, don't you?
[01:09:52.560 --> 01:09:53.560]  Right.
[01:09:53.560 --> 01:09:55.560]  Okay.
[01:09:55.560 --> 01:09:59.560]  Now, just because all of your other neighbors agreed they would support it
[01:09:59.560 --> 01:10:03.560]  doesn't bind you to it, nor did you vote for the person that came knocking on
[01:10:03.560 --> 01:10:06.560]  your door to say that they were authorized to come to you and collect the
[01:10:06.560 --> 01:10:07.560]  money.
[01:10:07.560 --> 01:10:13.560]  But all of those that voted yes probably gave money to the person to put
[01:10:13.560 --> 01:10:16.560]  toward that goal, didn't they?
[01:10:16.560 --> 01:10:17.560]  Yes.
[01:10:17.560 --> 01:10:18.560]  Okay.
[01:10:18.560 --> 01:10:23.560]  Now let's say three of the families come to you with the same demand and
[01:10:23.560 --> 01:10:30.560]  saying, look, the three of us were elected by the other neighbors to collect
[01:10:30.560 --> 01:10:34.560]  money for this purpose and we want you to give us the same amount of money
[01:10:34.560 --> 01:10:36.560]  everybody else has.
[01:10:36.560 --> 01:10:40.560]  Do you have the right to say no?
[01:10:40.560 --> 01:10:42.560]  Yes.
[01:10:42.560 --> 01:10:43.560]  Okay.
[01:10:43.560 --> 01:10:50.560]  So if these legislators do not have that power as your neighbor, how did they
[01:10:50.560 --> 01:10:53.560]  get that power as your legislator?
[01:10:53.560 --> 01:11:01.560]  How do you give away a power you don't have?
[01:11:01.560 --> 01:11:03.560]  By re-designating.
[01:11:03.560 --> 01:11:09.560]  I hear what you're saying, but they do it by reclassifying.
[01:11:09.560 --> 01:11:12.560]  What do you mean by reclassifying?
[01:11:12.560 --> 01:11:18.560]  Well, the whole notion of real property, right, like...
[01:11:18.560 --> 01:11:22.560]  No, you're making a presumption that they've reclassified it.
[01:11:22.560 --> 01:11:24.560]  Did they?
[01:11:24.560 --> 01:11:28.560]  If those same three people in your world come walking down to you and say,
[01:11:28.560 --> 01:11:33.560]  look, we reclassified your property as commercial, so now you have to pay us.
[01:11:33.560 --> 01:11:35.560]  You don't have a choice.
[01:11:35.560 --> 01:11:38.560]  Can you say, like, hell, I don't?
[01:11:38.560 --> 01:11:42.560]  Who gave you the right to classify my private property as anything other than
[01:11:42.560 --> 01:11:48.560]  my private property?
[01:11:48.560 --> 01:11:52.560]  So I look at it the same way as transportation, even though transportation
[01:11:52.560 --> 01:11:59.560]  is your no right to travel, they maybe classify it as a bad word, but they
[01:11:59.560 --> 01:12:03.560]  throw us under the whole commercial umbrella.
[01:12:03.560 --> 01:12:05.560]  Well, they have to.
[01:12:05.560 --> 01:12:09.560]  It's the only way they can use those statutes against you, because the
[01:12:09.560 --> 01:12:13.560]  regulatory statutes have to regulate something over which we gave them
[01:12:13.560 --> 01:12:18.560]  authority, and the only thing we did that with was certain types of
[01:12:18.560 --> 01:12:22.560]  commerce that had the potential to be imminently harmful to the general
[01:12:22.560 --> 01:12:27.560]  public if not properly regulated and supervised.
[01:12:27.560 --> 01:12:33.560]  Medical field, legal practice, transportation on the public highways and
[01:12:33.560 --> 01:12:38.560]  in the air and on the ships in the ocean, you know, things that could be
[01:12:38.560 --> 01:12:43.560]  a potential danger and hazard to many people if they're not properly
[01:12:43.560 --> 01:12:48.560]  regulated.
[01:12:48.560 --> 01:12:50.560]  Okay.
[01:12:50.560 --> 01:12:54.560]  Now, if you take your private property and start your own fireworks factory
[01:12:54.560 --> 01:12:59.560]  in the backyard along with a gasoline refinement plant, as your neighbor,
[01:12:59.560 --> 01:13:02.560]  one of two things is going to happen.
[01:13:02.560 --> 01:13:05.560]  I'm going to tell you to get rid of it because you're endangering my house
[01:13:05.560 --> 01:13:10.560]  next door or I'm going to have to move, and that's not fair to me either.
[01:13:10.560 --> 01:13:13.560]  So then I'm going to get help from my neighbors to stop what you're doing
[01:13:13.560 --> 01:13:17.560]  because the potential for harm is too great to too many people and too
[01:13:17.560 --> 01:13:19.560]  many things.
[01:13:19.560 --> 01:13:24.560]  That is the difference.
[01:13:24.560 --> 01:13:28.560]  Okay.
[01:13:28.560 --> 01:13:35.560]  I heard you talk about this before.
[01:13:35.560 --> 01:13:37.560]  I have a lot of reading to do.
[01:13:37.560 --> 01:13:40.560]  Yeah, well, I mean, it would work the same way if those same three people
[01:13:40.560 --> 01:13:45.560]  came to you or even the one again or even 10 of them or all 29 of them came
[01:13:45.560 --> 01:13:48.560]  to you and said, do this or we're taking your property.
[01:13:48.560 --> 01:13:51.560]  None of them have an individual right to do that.
[01:13:51.560 --> 01:13:55.560]  Therefore, none of them have a collective right to do that.
[01:13:55.560 --> 01:14:00.560]  The whole purpose of creating government was to help the individual stand
[01:14:00.560 --> 01:14:05.560]  against superior numbers for a harm that superior number was attempting to
[01:14:05.560 --> 01:14:09.560]  perpetrate against that individual's rights or property.
[01:14:09.560 --> 01:14:14.560]  That's the only reason government even existed in relation to the people,
[01:14:14.560 --> 01:14:24.560]  to protect the individual's right of property, person, and everything else.
[01:14:24.560 --> 01:14:25.560]  Okay.
[01:14:25.560 --> 01:14:28.560]  This is what people have forgotten, thanks to the government education
[01:14:28.560 --> 01:14:31.560]  they're getting.
[01:14:31.560 --> 01:14:36.560]  The Miner Fight Transition asks you another question on transportation.
[01:14:36.560 --> 01:14:39.560]  No, because that will put us toward the end of this section so I can start
[01:14:39.560 --> 01:14:40.560]  with somebody milling the other side.
[01:14:40.560 --> 01:14:42.560]  Go ahead.
[01:14:42.560 --> 01:14:44.560]  Okay.
[01:14:44.560 --> 01:14:47.560]  Here in Missouri, I'm just going to use Missouri because that's what I'm
[01:14:47.560 --> 01:14:50.560]  familiar with, when the police pull you over, deputies pull you over,
[01:14:50.560 --> 01:14:58.560]  in a transportation script hearing you speak, you said that when they detain
[01:14:58.560 --> 01:15:03.560]  you, they have to have probable cause.
[01:15:03.560 --> 01:15:06.560]  They have to have reasonable suspicion to detain.
[01:15:06.560 --> 01:15:09.560]  They have to have probable cause to actually arrest.
[01:15:09.560 --> 01:15:10.560]  Okay.
[01:15:10.560 --> 01:15:11.560]  Reasonable suspicion.
[01:15:11.560 --> 01:15:20.560]  So for example, if they accuse you or pull you over for, let's say, speeding.
[01:15:20.560 --> 01:15:27.560]  So from their perspective, them thinking you're speeding, whether it be their
[01:15:27.560 --> 01:15:32.560]  visual, clocking you through a radar, whatever the means that they came to
[01:15:32.560 --> 01:15:36.560]  that conclusion, that's their probable cause.
[01:15:36.560 --> 01:15:42.560]  Okay, the reasonable suspicion is that he saw you going in what he believed to
[01:15:42.560 --> 01:15:45.560]  be an excessive speed from wherever you're at.
[01:15:45.560 --> 01:15:50.560]  Then he clocked you or paced you or whatever means they used to determine
[01:15:50.560 --> 01:15:54.560]  that you in fact were going faster than their posted speed limit.
[01:15:54.560 --> 01:15:55.560]  Right.
[01:15:55.560 --> 01:16:01.560]  Thus giving him probable cause since your car doesn't spell out not in
[01:16:01.560 --> 01:16:05.560]  transportation on it and it's got a license plate and all the state stickers
[01:16:05.560 --> 01:16:11.560]  that say you're in transportation, he had probable cause to assume you were.
[01:16:11.560 --> 01:16:18.560]  Now once you informed him you were not, his probable cause is gone.
[01:16:18.560 --> 01:16:22.560]  It's just like an officer walking up to you in public and saying, why are you
[01:16:22.560 --> 01:16:27.560]  drinking that alcohol in public when in fact all you're drinking is iced tea?
[01:16:27.560 --> 01:16:32.560]  Once you confirm there is no alcohol in what I'm drinking, his probable cause
[01:16:32.560 --> 01:16:36.560]  to make that assertion is gone.
[01:16:36.560 --> 01:16:37.560]  Okay.
[01:16:37.560 --> 01:16:38.560]  Okay.
[01:16:38.560 --> 01:16:39.560]  All right.
[01:16:39.560 --> 01:16:40.560]  Very good, Eddie.
[01:16:40.560 --> 01:16:41.560]  I appreciate it.
[01:16:41.560 --> 01:16:42.560]  Thank you very much.
[01:16:42.560 --> 01:16:43.560]  All right.
[01:16:43.560 --> 01:16:44.560]  Thanks for calling in.
[01:16:44.560 --> 01:16:45.560]  Okay.
[01:16:45.560 --> 01:16:46.560]  Bye-bye.
[01:16:46.560 --> 01:16:47.560]  Bye-bye.
[01:16:47.560 --> 01:16:48.560]  All right, folks.
[01:16:48.560 --> 01:16:49.560]  This is Real Wall Radio.
[01:16:49.560 --> 01:16:50.560]  Call at number 512-646-1984.
[01:16:50.560 --> 01:16:51.560]  Give us a dog, give us a holler.
[01:16:51.560 --> 01:17:00.560]  We will be right back on the other side to finish taking these calls.
[01:17:00.560 --> 01:17:05.560]  All right.
[01:17:30.560 --> 01:17:59.560]  Thank you very much.
[01:18:00.560 --> 01:18:27.560]  Thank you very much.
[01:18:30.560 --> 01:18:59.560]  Thank you very much.
[01:19:00.560 --> 01:19:01.560]  All right, folks.
[01:19:01.560 --> 01:19:02.560]  Thank you very much.
[01:19:02.560 --> 01:19:03.560]  Bye-bye.
[01:19:03.560 --> 01:19:04.560]  Bye-bye.
[01:19:04.560 --> 01:19:05.560]  Bye-bye.
[01:19:05.560 --> 01:19:06.560]  Bye-bye.
[01:19:06.560 --> 01:19:07.560]  Bye-bye.
[01:19:07.560 --> 01:19:08.560]  Bye-bye.
[01:19:08.560 --> 01:19:09.560]  Bye-bye.
[01:19:09.560 --> 01:19:36.560]  Bye-bye.
[01:19:36.560 --> 01:19:37.560]  All right, folks.
[01:19:37.560 --> 01:19:38.560]  We are back.
[01:19:38.560 --> 01:19:39.560]  Thank you very much.
[01:19:39.560 --> 01:19:40.560]  Thanks very much.
[01:19:40.560 --> 01:19:41.560]  Okay.
[01:19:41.560 --> 01:19:42.560]  I'm going to turn it over to Don Johnson.
[01:19:42.560 --> 01:19:43.560]  Deane, what can we do for you?
[01:19:43.560 --> 01:19:44.560]  Yes.
[01:19:44.560 --> 01:19:45.560]  I'd like to talk about ordinances.
[01:19:45.560 --> 01:19:47.560]  I know you're going over and over on that.
[01:19:47.560 --> 01:19:54.560]  But I'm looking at the statutes and the powers of county boards.
[01:19:54.560 --> 01:20:00.560]  The legislature may confer upon the Board of Supervisors of the several counties of the
[01:20:00.560 --> 01:20:06.560]  states such powers of a local legislative and administrative character as they shall
[01:20:06.560 --> 01:20:08.720]  out from time to time prescribed.
[01:20:08.720 --> 01:20:17.840]  Okay. Is your state legislature authorized by your state constitution to delegate lawmaking authority?
[01:20:20.480 --> 01:20:20.800]  Yes.
[01:20:21.440 --> 01:20:24.800]  Your constitution gives them, says they can do that.
[01:20:26.720 --> 01:20:29.520]  That's what I'm looking at now, the constitution.
[01:20:29.520 --> 01:20:31.840]  You said the statute, so that's why I'm confused.
[01:20:31.840 --> 01:20:36.320]  Oh, okay. Yeah, I'm looking at the constitution.
[01:20:36.320 --> 01:20:40.240]  Okay. When it says local and administrative, what do you think it's talking about?
[01:20:41.440 --> 01:20:50.160]  Well, it says town and county government elects every four years a chief executive officer in
[01:20:50.160 --> 01:20:57.360]  any county with such powers as administrative character as they may from time to time prescribe
[01:20:57.360 --> 01:21:03.920]  in accordance with this section and shall establish one or more systems of county government.
[01:21:03.920 --> 01:21:07.600]  Okay. When it says of administrative character, what's it talking about?
[01:21:12.400 --> 01:21:14.960]  Chief executive officer, I don't know.
[01:21:14.960 --> 01:21:20.480]  What is within the administrative power of a legal entity?
[01:21:23.840 --> 01:21:24.960]  I don't know.
[01:21:24.960 --> 01:21:28.320]  Okay. What is the administrative power of McDonald's corporate?
[01:21:28.320 --> 01:21:32.160]  Well, with their employees.
[01:21:32.160 --> 01:21:37.680]  They can write the rules and regulations that govern the franchises of the people that work there, right?
[01:21:37.680 --> 01:21:38.160]  Right.
[01:21:39.360 --> 01:21:41.440]  So how does that apply to you?
[01:21:44.800 --> 01:21:50.720]  So that would be my argument that I do not work for the county or the state,
[01:21:50.720 --> 01:21:53.840]  so therefore your ordinances don't apply to me.
[01:21:53.840 --> 01:21:59.200]  Your ordinances don't apply to me. You're not a state employee or a
[01:21:59.200 --> 01:22:01.920]  contractor. You're not a county employee or a contractor.
[01:22:02.800 --> 01:22:03.600]  Right. Okay.
[01:22:04.560 --> 01:22:09.840]  When it's talking administrative, it's always talking about the power for the thing to self-manage,
[01:22:11.120 --> 01:22:16.560]  its own business or its contractors, but for them to regulate you, they have to have some
[01:22:16.560 --> 01:22:22.960]  either contract with you, or they have to have some financial intervention that gives them the
[01:22:22.960 --> 01:22:25.680]  power to decide alongside you.
[01:22:27.360 --> 01:22:28.160]  Okay.
[01:22:28.160 --> 01:22:33.440]  Okay. It's kind of like what the state does with a car that's been financed.
[01:22:33.440 --> 01:22:39.120]  The reason you have to get a certificate of title is because the state has to make sure that both
[01:22:39.120 --> 01:22:44.880]  the lender and the buyer are protected. It's part of what they consider their duty in the respect of
[01:22:44.880 --> 01:22:53.760]  that. So they issue the certificate of title to signify that there is an outstanding lien agreement.
[01:22:54.560 --> 01:23:00.160]  Once the agreement has been fulfilled, however, just like the mortgage on a house, they were
[01:23:00.160 --> 01:23:06.560]  obligated to return the mortgage document to the buyer so that no one else could get their hands on
[01:23:06.560 --> 01:23:10.560]  it down the road and come back and claim that the payment for the house was never received.
[01:23:10.560 --> 01:23:16.320]  That's why people used to hold mortgage burning parties. You pay off the house, you get the
[01:23:16.320 --> 01:23:21.600]  mortgage, you invite friends and family over so they can all watch you throw it in the fire pit
[01:23:21.600 --> 01:23:23.600]  or in the fireplace.
[01:23:25.600 --> 01:23:32.800]  Okay. What about registration for a vehicle? You told me one time that...
[01:23:32.800 --> 01:23:34.800]  You must always register vehicles.
[01:23:34.800 --> 01:23:39.840]  You must always register vehicles. I do?
[01:23:40.640 --> 01:23:46.240]  Yes, you do. Your car, however, is a completely different thing.
[01:23:47.680 --> 01:23:57.920]  Oh, okay. Good term. Yeah, I meant my car, registration of my car. I mean, they've expired
[01:23:57.920 --> 01:24:02.160]  and I'm not going to renew them. Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay.
[01:24:02.160 --> 01:24:05.280]  Okay. You were listening at the beginning of the show, right?
[01:24:06.080 --> 01:24:06.400]  Yeah.
[01:24:07.520 --> 01:24:12.720]  Before you decide to take this step, how much research and preparedness have you done on how
[01:24:12.720 --> 01:24:15.680]  to take this to court and fight back the right way?
[01:24:19.840 --> 01:24:26.080]  I've read the Constitution and the codes pertaining to
[01:24:26.080 --> 01:24:30.720]  transportation, commercial use of transportation.
[01:24:31.760 --> 01:24:37.760]  Okay. And when you go to court, what is your argument going to be when they charge you with
[01:24:37.760 --> 01:24:41.280]  no license, no registration, no proof of financial responsibility?
[01:24:42.400 --> 01:24:51.760]  I am not driving a motor vehicle with the use of any form of commercial transportation
[01:24:51.760 --> 01:25:00.000]  or use of the highways, therefore, of commercial act or hire.
[01:25:05.040 --> 01:25:12.720]  I don't think that'll work. You're almost right. But if you put it in there using their terminology,
[01:25:12.720 --> 01:25:17.040]  the way you're doing it, see, what you want to do is get them to assert that you're not in
[01:25:17.040 --> 01:25:21.840]  transportation, not you. Okay?
[01:25:21.840 --> 01:25:22.160]  Okay.
[01:25:23.440 --> 01:25:28.000]  You're going to avow that you were never engaged in it. Then you have to ask them
[01:25:28.000 --> 01:25:33.680]  the proper questions to make them prove that you are correct. What are they?
[01:25:38.480 --> 01:25:39.040]  I don't know.
[01:25:39.040 --> 01:25:46.640]  Okay. Then you're standing on the high dive over an empty pool.
[01:25:49.040 --> 01:25:54.160]  So until you do know, my recommendation is don't go down that road.
[01:25:56.640 --> 01:26:02.240]  The reason I'm telling people this is because the day after you start this,
[01:26:02.240 --> 01:26:07.760]  I'm going to have my phone burned up. Okay?
[01:26:07.760 --> 01:26:09.360]  Okay. Yeah.
[01:26:09.360 --> 01:26:14.160]  Because now you're in the fight, and you're getting the crap kicked out of you,
[01:26:14.160 --> 01:26:21.520]  and you want me to intervene and tell you how to do it. And the fact is, I can do it in Texas
[01:26:21.520 --> 01:26:25.760]  easy enough because I'm very familiar with all those statutes, but I'm not going to do you a
[01:26:25.760 --> 01:26:28.320]  whole lot of good up there in Wisconsin. Right.
[01:26:29.440 --> 01:26:35.200]  So that responsibility falls entirely on you and the choices you make to be prepared for this.
[01:26:35.200 --> 01:26:41.360]  And if you're not fully prepared, you are going to have heel marks on your spine.
[01:26:45.840 --> 01:26:53.280]  So I should be prepared beforehand and not wait until I get caught or whatever,
[01:26:54.400 --> 01:26:57.360]  and then do the research or write out everything?
[01:26:57.360 --> 01:27:02.800]  Absolutely. I didn't just do this on a whim. I didn't just decide one day,
[01:27:02.800 --> 01:27:06.640]  well, okay, that's great information. I'm going to act on it.
[01:27:07.440 --> 01:27:11.840]  I spent years researching the information I got my hands on
[01:27:12.480 --> 01:27:17.680]  before I was prepared enough to even begin to take the risk of taking all that off my car.
[01:27:21.840 --> 01:27:23.760]  Okay. Okay.
[01:27:24.640 --> 01:27:32.240]  And that's just a simple fact. You don't go into this without knowing everything you need to know
[01:27:32.240 --> 01:27:41.760]  ahead of time. Afterward is too late. Well, I've got my script in my car.
[01:27:41.760 --> 01:27:48.000]  I mean, it's a lot to memorize. And I've got my script from your, is it TOA site?
[01:27:49.600 --> 01:27:51.200]  The TAO. Yeah.
[01:27:51.200 --> 01:27:52.160]  The TAO.
[01:27:52.880 --> 01:27:56.880]  Yeah. Right now it's on the Logos Radio Network site,
[01:27:56.880 --> 01:27:59.200]  but it'll eventually be on the Tau of Law site. Yeah.
[01:27:59.200 --> 01:28:05.040]  When is that going to be fully implemented at that site?
[01:28:05.040 --> 01:28:09.280]  Well, as time allows us to get it done, we've got security issues,
[01:28:09.280 --> 01:28:17.360]  we've got time to work on the programming issues. My friend, the programmer on it,
[01:28:17.360 --> 01:28:22.960]  he's got personal issues he's dealing with right now as well, as far as courts and things like that,
[01:28:22.960 --> 01:28:26.080]  which I'm not going to get into details of on his stuff, but the fact is,
[01:28:26.080 --> 01:28:32.000]  we all got lives to lead while we're trying to get this done. It would be impossible for me to
[01:28:32.000 --> 01:28:38.800]  get this done in 10 years, as much as my phone rings, because of choices people make without
[01:28:38.800 --> 01:28:45.600]  being ready for them. Hint, hint, hint. Okay. Got you.
[01:28:46.720 --> 01:28:48.720]  Okay. Okay, then.
[01:28:49.200 --> 01:28:52.480]  All right. Well, thanks for calling in, Dee. Okay. Thank you, Eddie.
[01:28:52.480 --> 01:29:01.120]  All right. Bye-bye. All right. We have Lee in California and Rob in Illinois. Rob,
[01:29:01.120 --> 01:29:03.520]  you had a quick comment about something that's already come up?
[01:29:05.360 --> 01:29:12.160]  Yes. Before I get to that, if I may say that, I believe that you're out here teaching us
[01:29:13.120 --> 01:29:19.200]  transportation kung fu, and the people don't want to get out there after taking one class and say,
[01:29:19.200 --> 01:29:25.200]  okay, now I'm a master. They want to, like you said, get into this, know it, and it's got to be
[01:29:25.200 --> 01:29:31.440]  second nature. Otherwise, they're going to be in a situation that they're probably going to regret.
[01:29:31.440 --> 01:29:37.280]  But anyway, I'll hold over to the break. Okay. Well, Rob, let's try to keep you
[01:29:37.280 --> 01:29:39.280]  short because I got another caller up behind you. Okay?
[01:29:39.280 --> 01:29:42.800]  Okay. I'll make it short and sweet. All right. Here we go. All right, folks.
[01:29:42.800 --> 01:29:48.000]  Calling number 512-646-1984. I got one other guy and a half an hour left,
[01:29:48.000 --> 01:29:53.200]  so I may need one or two more. So y'all hang on. We will be right back.
[01:30:18.000 --> 01:30:21.200]  We'll be right back.
[01:30:48.000 --> 01:30:52.160]  But this year, fans attending games will get a lot more contact than they bargained for,
[01:30:52.160 --> 01:30:57.680]  thanks to a new NFL policy that recommends full-body pat downs as people enter stadiums.
[01:30:57.680 --> 01:31:02.720]  Sadly, at least two teams, the Indiana Colts and the Buffalo Bills, are already frisking fans from
[01:31:02.720 --> 01:31:07.920]  the ankles up. Why? The league says it's for your own safety, even if you have to put up with longer
[01:31:07.920 --> 01:31:13.280]  lines and get pawed by brawny strangers. To me, this is big brother in action, and another
[01:31:13.280 --> 01:31:18.400]  example of how our right to privacy, not to mention our private parts, are getting manhandled.
[01:31:18.400 --> 01:31:22.400]  Let's call a foul on the NFL for unnecessary interference.

[01:33:30.400 --> 01:33:43.040]  All right, folks, we are back. Okay, Rob, let's wrap this up.
[01:33:43.760 --> 01:33:50.320]  Okay, I took a trip earlier this year down to Springfield, Illinois, and looked at the original
[01:33:50.320 --> 01:33:57.440]  laws of Illinois, going back from 1819 to about 1861, and I looked up the original property tax
[01:33:57.440 --> 01:34:02.800]  laws. I didn't find the original one because two books in the beginning were missing,
[01:34:02.800 --> 01:34:08.720]  but there is one from 1853, and I'll just say this. It says that all property, whether real or
[01:34:08.720 --> 01:34:16.560]  personal, in this state shall be subject to taxation. And then it goes on earlier. There
[01:34:16.560 --> 01:34:24.000]  was an act approved on March 27, 1819, an act providing for the valuation of lands and other
[01:34:24.000 --> 01:34:30.480]  property and laying a tax thereon, and it gave three classes. The first class was at $4. The
[01:34:30.480 --> 01:34:36.320]  second class was at $3 per acre, and the third class was at $2 per acre. So according to the
[01:34:36.320 --> 01:34:42.960]  original laws of Illinois, the most that they could ever tax property is at $4 per acre,
[01:34:44.080 --> 01:34:51.280]  per year, I believe. Okay. So I don't know where they come up with the numbers all across these
[01:34:51.280 --> 01:34:56.720]  states now. Well, you would have to find if that's actually written into the constitution
[01:34:56.720 --> 01:35:03.600]  of Illinois, then you would have to find where that's been amended. So you would have to do
[01:35:05.840 --> 01:35:13.280]  basically your history research on it and see where it's been amended or whatever.
[01:35:13.280 --> 01:35:17.760]  Like for instance, if Illinois has a reformation constitution, then it's not actually a
[01:35:17.760 --> 01:35:23.040]  constitution. It's actually a military charter like the ones here in Texas.
[01:35:24.480 --> 01:35:30.400]  The 1836 constitution is the only valid constitution that Texas has. The rest of
[01:35:30.400 --> 01:35:36.880]  them are all military charters. Right. Our original constitution is
[01:35:36.880 --> 01:35:41.920]  the 1818 Illinois Constitution. Okay. And then all you got to do is research the
[01:35:41.920 --> 01:35:44.880]  amendments and see where that dollar amount was ever changed by amendment.
[01:35:44.880 --> 01:35:53.120]  Right. And who actually did it? Was it post 1867 or before that? Or really maybe it doesn't even
[01:35:53.120 --> 01:35:59.600]  matter. Was it de facto or does your Congress that did that? Doesn't really matter?
[01:36:01.040 --> 01:36:04.880]  Well, I mean, yeah, of course it matters. But the question is, how do you prove that?
[01:36:08.880 --> 01:36:12.640]  The constitution is much easier. If you can just simply show there was never a
[01:36:12.640 --> 01:36:17.440]  valid amendment that allowed them to alter how the taxes were assessed and collected,
[01:36:17.440 --> 01:36:22.000]  then they can't do it any other way. Sure to violate in the state constitution,
[01:36:22.000 --> 01:36:25.680]  which gives you grounds to sue in your state courts and have it fixed.
[01:36:27.360 --> 01:36:34.080]  Yeah. I have the original 1857 act for California. And I'll send that to you tonight, Eddie,
[01:36:34.720 --> 01:36:40.480]  that talks about the property tax. And it says property tax is only applied to corporate property.
[01:36:40.480 --> 01:36:45.360]  Yeah. Well, again, that's all we've ever given them the right to directly tax. Even in Illinois,
[01:36:45.360 --> 01:36:50.160]  I'm willing to bet you, if you do not have a definition of this state,
[01:36:51.680 --> 01:36:55.840]  you're presuming it means Illinois, when in fact, it can mean several different things.
[01:36:58.800 --> 01:37:02.720]  Okay. Yeah. All right, Rob. Okay. Thanks, Eddie. Yep. Thanks for calling in.
[01:37:03.440 --> 01:37:07.840]  All right. Now we're going to go to Lee in California. Lee, what can we do for you?
[01:37:07.840 --> 01:37:10.720]  How are you doing? So far, so good.
[01:37:11.360 --> 01:37:19.120]  All righty, all righty. I had a question. Are all courts work all the same way in the same manner?
[01:37:19.120 --> 01:37:22.800]  They all have to follow the same procedure? Wait, say that again.
[01:37:23.520 --> 01:37:30.880]  Do all courts have to follow the same procedure? All courts as defined by statute within that
[01:37:30.880 --> 01:37:37.120]  particular state under which the court operates, but that those rules can vary between state to
[01:37:37.120 --> 01:37:42.400]  state. What cannot vary is the fundamental rights of due process from state to state.
[01:37:44.640 --> 01:37:45.440]  I see.
[01:37:45.440 --> 01:37:49.280]  But the operational rules can be defined by the state as long as they don't
[01:37:50.480 --> 01:37:55.120]  defy or destroy or abrogate the protected rights of due process.
[01:37:57.920 --> 01:38:05.840]  Okay. My other question was, you said that fraud has no time limit, right?
[01:38:05.840 --> 01:38:12.640]  Fraud? Fraud has no time limit until the point of discovery, then the time limit kicks in.
[01:38:14.080 --> 01:38:26.480]  Okay. That's because I was coming back from Mexico, across the border, and they decided to
[01:38:26.480 --> 01:38:30.720]  pull me over to secondary and tell me why, and they kept me there for a while.
[01:38:30.720 --> 01:38:34.320]  Did you agree to go to secondary? Well, yes, I did.
[01:38:34.320 --> 01:38:38.560]  Okay. Why would you do that? This is before I even heard of you.
[01:38:39.680 --> 01:38:42.880]  Well, I mean, not just me. I got nothing to do with it.
[01:38:43.520 --> 01:38:46.800]  Why would you go to secondary for something you knew they weren't allowed to do?
[01:38:48.160 --> 01:38:53.360]  Well, I didn't know that they were not allowed to do that, to begin with. I was kind of young back
[01:38:53.360 --> 01:39:04.560]  then. Okay. And anyways, they said that they found, because I bought this car off of non-individual
[01:39:05.520 --> 01:39:12.720]  cash. And anyways, they said they had found a secret compartment in there, which was empty.
[01:39:12.720 --> 01:39:24.960]  But they jailed me, and they took my car away. And I bailed out. And they had told me that they
[01:39:24.960 --> 01:39:31.040]  were going to keep my car because, you know, they showed me some federal case that they had.
[01:39:31.040 --> 01:39:36.880]  Yeah, they're trying to use civil asset forfeiture. The problem is, is a secret compartment isn't a
[01:39:36.880 --> 01:39:42.800]  crime. Only if there was something in it, is there a crime? That's what I was doing. That's what I was
[01:39:42.800 --> 01:39:48.800]  telling my attorney at the time. And the discovery that she was asking for never came through. So
[01:39:48.800 --> 01:39:54.480]  they decided to drop the charges and just still keep my car at the same time. Yeah. They don't
[01:39:54.480 --> 01:39:59.440]  have to convict you or even charge you to keep the property under the civil asset forfeiture,
[01:39:59.440 --> 01:40:03.520]  which by the way, ladies and gentlemen, goes right back to what I was saying earlier at the very
[01:40:03.520 --> 01:40:08.880]  beginning, if you think the Constitution is in force and effect, where does civil asset forfeiture
[01:40:08.880 --> 01:40:14.560]  come from? Because that's not constitutional by any stretch of the imagination.
[01:40:19.120 --> 01:40:25.120]  So is there any way that maybe I can reach back and take another shot at it?
[01:40:25.120 --> 01:40:28.320]  The only way you're going to get it back is to sue for it.
[01:40:28.320 --> 01:40:32.000]  But not only are you going to have to sue for that, you're going to have to sue for the attorney's
[01:40:32.000 --> 01:40:37.920]  fees, legal fees, and any punitive damages for the fraudulent conversion of your property.
[01:40:39.280 --> 01:40:44.320]  And that's provided the federal courts give you any way whatsoever to actually recover that
[01:40:44.320 --> 01:40:52.160]  or to sue for it in the first place. Okay. Not even under Title 42, 1980.
[01:40:52.160 --> 01:40:56.240]  I don't care what section you sue under. The question is whether or not you can make a
[01:40:56.240 --> 01:41:02.080]  cause of action out of it. You can claim a violation under 1983, but that has to do with
[01:41:02.080 --> 01:41:08.320]  a violation of your rights, in this case an illegal taking. Okay. A deprivation of the
[01:41:08.320 --> 01:41:12.480]  right of due process, but the federal courts have already allowed them to do civil asset
[01:41:12.480 --> 01:41:19.360]  forfeitures despite those violations. Okay. And the false imprisonment?
[01:41:19.360 --> 01:41:25.520]  And the false imprisonment? Again, something you have a cause of action for,
[01:41:25.520 --> 01:41:30.640]  provided you can make the argument that they never had authority to arrest you in the first place.
[01:41:33.840 --> 01:41:42.080]  I see. Okay. There's absolutely nothing illegal about having hidden compartments in your car.
[01:41:42.080 --> 01:41:50.480]  Absolutely nothing. There was no crime committed. Therefore, there's no justification for the civil
[01:41:50.480 --> 01:41:58.800]  asset forfeiture or seizure in the first place. That's the argument your attorney's going to have
[01:41:58.800 --> 01:42:03.760]  to put forth. The only question is will they? And can you afford to pay them long enough to get that
[01:42:03.760 --> 01:42:12.960]  far? So me going on my own would be an uphill battle basically? It's always an uphill battle.
[01:42:12.960 --> 01:42:18.960]  It's designed to be an uphill battle. It's designed so that everybody involved gets paid except for
[01:42:18.960 --> 01:42:29.360]  you, the victim. Well, I'm going to give it a shot on my own anyway, so. Well, that's up to you, my
[01:42:29.360 --> 01:42:36.960]  friend. Yeah. I need to take back what was mine. Yeah. And you need to make them pay for what they
[01:42:36.960 --> 01:42:43.360]  did. And I wish you luck in doing it. Not saying it's impossible, but you got to fight ahead of
[01:42:43.360 --> 01:42:51.680]  you, whether you realize it yet or not, you're going to. So you better do your homework. This is
[01:42:51.680 --> 01:42:55.840]  going to take a lot of effort on your part, especially if you're going to try to do it yourself.
[01:42:55.840 --> 01:43:02.800]  Yeah, because it's kind of hard to get somebody to, you know, take my point of view and use it
[01:43:02.800 --> 01:43:08.000]  as an attorney that is. Your point of view is irrelevant. They look at it only as a win or a
[01:43:08.000 --> 01:43:15.360]  loss. Can I win it or not? And since they get paid either way, what's their motivation to go out of
[01:43:15.360 --> 01:43:22.880]  their way to win it? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't
[01:43:22.880 --> 01:43:34.880]  know. You see the problem, this profiteering justice system leaves you with. I hear that, man.
[01:43:36.400 --> 01:43:40.640]  All right. Anything else? No, thank you. Thank you. You're doing a great job again.
[01:43:40.640 --> 01:43:44.400]  All right. Well, thanks, Lee, for calling in. You have a good night and good luck. God bless you.
[01:43:44.400 --> 01:43:51.920]  I hope you make it. Thank you. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. All right, folks. 512-646-1984.
[01:43:51.920 --> 01:43:57.120]  Sally, I see you on the board. We'll get this on the other side. So, y'all hang on. We will be right
[01:43:57.120 --> 01:44:04.960]  back. You feel tired when talking about important topics like money and politics? Are you confused
[01:44:04.960 --> 01:44:09.600]  by words like the Constitution or the Federal Reserve? What? If so, you may be diagnosed with
[01:44:09.600 --> 01:44:15.680]  the deadliest disease known today, stupidity. Hi, my name is Steve Holt. And like millions of other
[01:44:15.680 --> 01:44:21.200]  Americans, I was diagnosed with stupidity at an early age. I had no idea that the number one cause
[01:44:21.200 --> 01:44:25.920]  of the disease is found in almost every home in America, the television. Unfortunately,
[01:44:25.920 --> 01:44:31.040]  that puts most Americans at risk of catching stupidity. But there is hope. The staff at Brave
[01:44:31.040 --> 01:44:36.080]  New Books have helped me and thousands of other foxaholics suffering from sports zombieism recover.
[01:44:36.080 --> 01:44:40.560]  And because of Brave New Books, I now enjoy reading and watching educational documentaries
[01:44:40.560 --> 01:44:46.160]  without feeling tired or uninterested. So, if you or anybody you know suffers from stupidity,
[01:44:46.160 --> 01:44:54.560]  then you need to call 512-480-2503 or visit them in 1904 Guadalupe or brave new bookstore.com.
[01:44:54.560 --> 01:44:58.000]  Side effects from using Brave New Books products may include discernment in enlarged vocabulary
[01:44:58.000 --> 01:45:03.920]  and an overall increase in mental functioning. Are you the plaintiff or defendant in a lawsuit?

[01:46:07.440 --> 01:46:29.360]  All right, folks, we are back. This is Rule of Law Radio. All right, we're going to go to
[01:46:29.360 --> 01:46:37.680]  Sally in Texas. Sally, what can we do for you? Hi, Eddie. Could you expand a little on what you
[01:46:37.680 --> 01:46:42.960]  were mentioning earlier about the place in the Constitution where it specifies that
[01:46:43.840 --> 01:46:52.560]  laws have to be enacted by a certain procedure and that municipal ordinances may not qualify as laws?
[01:46:52.560 --> 01:47:08.480]  Article 3, Section 29 through 39, 56, I'm sorry, 54, and 62 of Article 3. All those go into exactly
[01:47:08.480 --> 01:47:14.080]  what the legislature has to do to create a bill, start the bill through the process,
[01:47:14.800 --> 01:47:20.480]  how it has to be voted on, how it has to be discussed, how it has to be submitted,
[01:47:20.480 --> 01:47:26.960]  how it has to be signed, and under what specific conditions, certain aspects of that process may
[01:47:26.960 --> 01:47:38.960]  be waived. Since at least 1965, possibly even earlier, there has not been a valid enactment
[01:47:38.960 --> 01:47:46.480]  by the Texas legislature done, not one. That's comforting.
[01:47:46.480 --> 01:47:51.840]  Yeah. When you read that, especially when you get down to Section 62 of Article 3 where it talks
[01:47:51.840 --> 01:47:58.960]  about the emergency clause where they can not read the bill on the floor of each house over
[01:47:58.960 --> 01:48:06.560]  three several days, it specifically says that that emergency waiver can occur only
[01:48:06.560 --> 01:48:16.080]  if there are disasters that are in place as a result of an invasion or enemy attack. Okay?
[01:48:16.080 --> 01:48:23.680]  Yeah. And that the governor must have declared a state of emergency, submitted that declaration
[01:48:23.680 --> 01:48:32.160]  to the heads of both houses who must agree and sign off on it in order to waive the provision
[01:48:32.160 --> 01:48:37.360]  of reading on the floor of each house over three several days. Well, since at least the mid-60s,
[01:48:37.840 --> 01:48:45.760]  the emergency clause that the Texas legislature has used is written into 49A, and it does not
[01:48:45.760 --> 01:48:55.120]  apply to anything except for fiscal bills. And then that emergency clause isn't sufficient
[01:48:55.120 --> 01:49:04.480]  under Section 62 to waive the reading. Not only that, the waiver must be by a four-fifths majority
[01:49:04.480 --> 01:49:13.280]  of each house. So there's lots of things in those sections that make it very clear we don't have
[01:49:13.280 --> 01:49:21.520]  any valid statutes, haven't had any since 1960s. Yeah. Now, possibly we haven't had any since at
[01:49:21.520 --> 01:49:29.520]  least 1939. Why? That's when the State Bar Act was enacted. That's when our legislators
[01:49:30.240 --> 01:49:38.880]  outnumbered normal people attorneys to regular jobs ratio by an enormous degree. 49% of one house
[01:49:38.880 --> 01:49:46.880]  was attorneys, 84% of the other house was attorneys. They all voted for the enactment of the State Bar
[01:49:46.880 --> 01:49:53.680]  Act, something the Constitution specifically forbade them to do if the bill involved a personal
[01:49:53.680 --> 01:50:01.120]  interest, which of course the Bar Act does. It guarantees monopoly status to an attorney to
[01:50:01.120 --> 01:50:08.800]  practice law. They all voted it in. Now we have the problem of bar card carrying attorneys who,
[01:50:08.800 --> 01:50:16.880]  according to Chapter 82 of the Government Code, are officers of an administrative office of the
[01:50:16.880 --> 01:50:23.360]  Judicial Department of Government in Texas, making them in fact judicial officers, who are also in
[01:50:23.360 --> 01:50:29.920]  violation of Article 2, the separation of powers, by sitting in the legislature while simultaneously
[01:50:29.920 --> 01:50:36.960]  holding a bar card. Because the separation of powers clause specifically states, no person or
[01:50:36.960 --> 01:50:43.760]  group of persons being members of one department may exercise any power or authority of any member
[01:50:43.760 --> 01:50:51.600]  of any other department. Therefore, it is absolutely unconstitutional for an attorney to sit in the
[01:50:51.600 --> 01:50:59.200]  legislature in Texas. Therefore, no legal quorum has existed if an attorney was in the quorum.
[01:50:59.200 --> 01:51:14.320]  Therefore, no enactment was valid. Wow. Because municipal ordinances are not enacted by the
[01:51:14.320 --> 01:51:21.520]  legislature. Right. It specifically says in Article 3, Section 29, the enacting clause of all laws
[01:51:21.520 --> 01:51:29.520]  shall be being enacted by the legislature of the state of Texas. No ordinance has that enacting
[01:51:29.520 --> 01:51:36.080]  clause, nor is it enacted by the legislature of the state of Texas. It says all bills must originate
[01:51:36.080 --> 01:51:41.760]  in one of the two houses. Well, city and county ordinances do not originate in the houses of the
[01:51:41.760 --> 01:51:47.280]  legislature. In other words, nothing about an ordinance complies with the requirements of what
[01:51:47.280 --> 01:51:54.480]  constitutes an actual binding law under the Texas Constitution. And nowhere in Article 11 of the
[01:51:54.480 --> 01:52:01.040]  Texas Constitution, which was specifically written to allow for municipal corporations, is there an
[01:52:01.040 --> 01:52:08.400]  allowance for a corporation such as a municipality to create legislation at all? Not in the Texas
[01:52:08.400 --> 01:52:15.280]  one anyway. The only time the word ordinance appears in Article 11 is in relation to the
[01:52:15.280 --> 01:52:21.040]  ability of the municipality to create an ordinance for the election of specific officers. That's it.
[01:52:21.520 --> 01:52:27.440]  They're not given power in the Constitution to create any other kind of rules and bind them over
[01:52:27.440 --> 01:52:34.640]  the people in any form or fashion. Therefore, their city charter cannot do it either. Because the city
[01:52:34.640 --> 01:52:41.360]  charter of a home rule city specifically states, as does Article 11 of the Texas Constitution, that a
[01:52:41.360 --> 01:52:48.240]  municipality may not do anything that violates a provision of the Texas Constitution, which is
[01:52:48.240 --> 01:52:54.640]  exactly what an ordinance enactment would do if they tried to treat it as an actual law binding upon
[01:52:54.640 --> 01:53:05.360]  the people. Oh, they are. And not only that, they think they can, well, they have, and they do, are
[01:53:05.360 --> 01:53:14.480]  turning people over to collection agencies for a pending matter. Before there's any adjudication.
[01:53:14.480 --> 01:53:18.240]  Well, that just tells you that it's entirely administrative, which it always is.
[01:53:19.280 --> 01:53:26.640]  Yeah. And even though they're treating it like criminal.
[01:53:26.640 --> 01:53:31.760]  Yes. They're trying to mix the rules of the game to give themselves the biggest advantage possible.
[01:53:31.760 --> 01:53:39.120]  So that's the whole reason I'm here, is to expose that little shenanigan.
[01:53:39.120 --> 01:53:50.320]  And you do a great job. And I don't know if you understand how much you do. And there's just.
[01:53:50.320 --> 01:53:55.120]  You're making me all misty here. Cut it out. Go ahead.
[01:53:55.120 --> 01:54:02.080]  No, actually, you do so much to help everybody. And I really appreciate you being there.
[01:54:02.080 --> 01:54:06.080]  Well, I appreciate the compliment.
[01:54:06.080 --> 01:54:10.080]  So we'll talk to you again later. And you're doing a great job.
[01:54:10.080 --> 01:54:12.080]  Well, thank you. I appreciate that very much.
[01:54:12.080 --> 01:54:14.080]  All right. Bye-bye.
[01:54:14.080 --> 01:54:20.640]  Bye-bye. All right. Now we got a few minutes left. We'll go ahead and go back to the
[01:54:20.640 --> 01:54:27.200]  Rob in New Mexico again. Rob, what's up? Hey, Eddie, that turning over stuff to collection
[01:54:27.200 --> 01:54:31.200]  agencies, it's still pending. That could be very profitable for us.
[01:54:31.200 --> 01:54:36.960]  Yeah, depending. Certain types of collections, if they're attorneys working on behalf of
[01:54:36.960 --> 01:54:43.040]  governmental entities for collections, they're not subject to those particular acts that
[01:54:43.040 --> 01:54:47.200]  you would use to go after third-party debt collectors.
[01:54:47.200 --> 01:54:52.000]  Because they're specifically exempted. And we should go after them anyway, and assert
[01:54:52.000 --> 01:54:59.440]  that they're not making proof that they are. But my question was, on my 1983 shoot against
[01:54:59.440 --> 01:55:07.200]  these morons, I was never arrested. My animals were never taken. So the only harm was that
[01:55:07.200 --> 01:55:11.440]  they went after me, purporting to exert an authority that they did not have.
[01:55:11.440 --> 01:55:15.200]  Well, if they actually did go after you, they would have to go after you.
[01:55:15.200 --> 01:55:18.000]  They did not have? Well, if they actually filed a criminal
[01:55:18.000 --> 01:55:21.680]  complaint and tried to get you into court, that's malicious prosecution if the charges
[01:55:21.680 --> 01:55:27.280]  wound up dismissed after the fact. Right. Now, would that still fall under 1983
[01:55:27.280 --> 01:55:31.600]  as well? Yes, but a malicious prosecution action would,
[01:55:31.600 --> 01:55:38.640]  okay, because it's a deprivation of rights. But the issue there becomes, had Jeopardy
[01:55:38.640 --> 01:55:45.680]  attached, the federal courts have set a very high bar for when Jeopardy actually attaches
[01:55:45.680 --> 01:55:50.880]  in such situations. In some cases, they're saying Jeopardy is attached once there's a
[01:55:50.880 --> 01:55:54.880]  grand jury indictment. In others, they're saying Jeopardy attaches once a complaint's
[01:55:54.880 --> 01:56:01.360]  been filed. In others, they're saying Jeopardy attaches only once a jury has been impaneled
[01:56:01.360 --> 01:56:08.560]  because of the indictment or the complaint. So it's all over the board as to when it's
[01:56:08.560 --> 01:56:15.520]  actually going to be viable for you to consider that you've been harmed because Jeopardy did
[01:56:15.520 --> 01:56:20.480]  or didn't attach. So the first thing you've got to do is get past the argument that Jeopardy
[01:56:20.480 --> 01:56:25.520]  never attached. Right. And they're trying to leave this like
[01:56:25.520 --> 01:56:29.600]  a sword hanging over my head. When they dismissed it, they dismissed it without prejudice.
[01:56:30.800 --> 01:56:33.840]  Yeah, that's so they can see if there's a way for them to reinstate it.
[01:56:33.840 --> 01:56:41.280]  Right. And that's why I want to hit them sooner rather than later. I don't want to give them
[01:56:41.280 --> 01:56:46.720]  the opportunity to try any more shenanigans. You don't have to give it to them. They'll
[01:56:46.720 --> 01:56:54.320]  fabricate it when they need it. Yeah, no. I don't know, just what would be
[01:56:54.320 --> 01:57:00.880]  your take on how to go about that? As far as which aspect of it?
[01:57:00.880 --> 01:57:06.640]  Well, I mean, I don't know about the whole Jeopardy aspect. That's just something I need
[01:57:06.640 --> 01:57:09.760]  to research more. Yeah, because you're going to have to find
[01:57:09.760 --> 01:57:13.760]  the case that most fits how it was done with you.
[01:57:14.640 --> 01:57:19.920]  Okay. Okay. And then I'm also looking at going after
[01:57:19.920 --> 01:57:24.960]  them for injunctive relief, stopping them from doing this to anybody else. Would that
[01:57:24.960 --> 01:57:28.800]  be separate? You can only get injunctive relief to prevent
[01:57:28.800 --> 01:57:35.040]  them from doing it to you. You have no standing to go after injunctive relief on somebody
[01:57:35.040 --> 01:57:41.040]  else's behalf if you're not their guardian. Okay, so I can't get a ruling saying like,
[01:57:41.040 --> 01:57:45.280]  hey, you idiots, this is... No, the only way you could do that is to have
[01:57:45.280 --> 01:57:51.120]  the county ordinance declared unconstitutional and therefore it now becomes unenforceable
[01:57:51.120 --> 01:57:55.360]  against anyone. Okay, can I do that in a 1983 suit?
[01:57:55.360 --> 01:58:00.640]  You can certainly try. Okay, great.
[01:58:00.640 --> 01:58:03.120]  Okay. Thanks for everything you do, Eddie, and
