[00:00.000 --> 00:06.400] The Bill of Rights contains the first ten amendments of our Constitution that guarantee [00:06.400 --> 00:09.600] the specific freedoms Americans should know and protect. [00:09.600 --> 00:11.080] Our liberty depends on it. [00:11.080 --> 00:15.000] I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht, and I'll be right back with an unforgettable way to remember [00:15.000 --> 00:17.120] your First Amendment rights. [00:17.120 --> 00:18.720] Privacy is under attack. [00:18.720 --> 00:22.320] When you give up data about yourself, you'll never get it back again. [00:22.320 --> 00:27.080] And once your privacy is gone, you'll find your freedoms will start to vanish, too. [00:27.080 --> 00:28.520] So protect your rights. [00:28.520 --> 00:32.120] Say no to surveillance and keep your information to yourself. [00:32.120 --> 00:33.120] Privacy. [00:33.120 --> 00:34.720] It's worth hanging on to.

[00:42.640 --> 00:44.760] Start over with Startpage. [00:44.760 --> 00:45.760] Spar. [00:45.760 --> 00:47.960] It's what fighters do. [00:47.960 --> 00:51.400] It's also how I remember the five guarantees of the First Amendment. [00:51.400 --> 00:54.640] If you plan to take away my rights, I'm going to spar with you. [00:54.640 --> 01:01.720] Spar with an extra P, S for speech, P for press, another P for petition, A for assembly, [01:01.720 --> 01:03.240] and R for religion. [01:03.240 --> 01:07.160] Most Americans are familiar with the First Amendment guarantees of free speech, press, [01:07.160 --> 01:10.640] assembly, and religion, but petition for redress is another matter. [01:10.640 --> 01:14.720] We have the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. [01:14.720 --> 01:18.240] It means that if we're unhappy with what's going on in our government, we can spell out [01:18.240 --> 01:20.960] the reasons without fear of being thrown into jail. [01:20.960 --> 01:31.200] I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht, more news and information at CatherineAlbrecht.com. [01:31.200 --> 01:34.880] The Bill of Rights contains the first 10 amendments of our Constitution. [01:34.880 --> 01:38.320] They guarantee the specific freedoms Americans should know and protect. [01:38.320 --> 01:39.800] Our liberty depends on it. [01:39.800 --> 01:43.680] I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht, and I'll be right back with an unforgettable way to remember [01:43.680 --> 01:46.840] one of your constitutional rights. [01:46.840 --> 01:48.440] Privacy is under attack. [01:48.440 --> 01:52.040] When you give up data about yourself, you'll never get it back again. [01:52.040 --> 01:56.800] And once your privacy is gone, you'll find your freedoms will start to vanish too. [01:56.800 --> 02:01.840] So protect your rights, say no to surveillance, and keep your information to yourself. [02:01.840 --> 02:04.560] Privacy, it's worth hanging on to. [02:04.560 --> 02:08.860] This public service announcement is brought to you by StartPage.com, the private search [02:08.860 --> 02:12.400] engine alternative to Google, Yahoo, and Bing. [02:12.400 --> 02:16.000] Start over with StartPage. [02:16.000 --> 02:20.320] When I think of the Second Amendment, I visualize myself wrapping my two arms around the Bill [02:20.320 --> 02:22.400] of Rights in a big old bear hug. [02:22.400 --> 02:26.920] It's how I remember that the Second Amendment guarantees us the right to bear arms, arms [02:26.920 --> 02:30.720] that embrace our freedoms and won't let anyone take them away without a fight. [02:30.720 --> 02:31.720] Get it? [02:31.720 --> 02:34.040] Two arms, bear hug, bear arms? [02:34.040 --> 02:37.640] The late Senator Hubert Humphrey captured the spirit of the Second Amendment so well [02:37.640 --> 02:43.400] when he said, the right of the citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary [02:43.400 --> 02:47.960] conduct, one more safeguard against the tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which [02:47.960 --> 02:50.600] historically has proved to always be possible. [02:50.600 --> 02:52.560] I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht. [02:52.560 --> 03:14.080] More news and information at CatherineAlbrecht.com. [03:14.080 --> 03:36.720] We are originators and the pathway seems to get straighter every day. [03:36.720 --> 03:50.680] Okay, we are back, Randy Kelton, Brett Fountain, Wheel of Law Radio, and we're talking to Eric [03:50.680 --> 03:51.680] in Massachusetts. [03:51.680 --> 03:59.760] And on the break, Brett suggested that I go back into Walker v. Packer. [03:59.760 --> 04:08.320] And I was concerned, Eric, and what I'm hearing is, you're going to the merits of what is [04:08.320 --> 04:11.320] going on. [04:11.320 --> 04:19.560] And for me, I never want to get to the merits of an issue until I have examined the underlying [04:19.560 --> 04:23.400] legal status of the issue. [04:23.400 --> 04:28.640] You're going to what they're doing, and I want to go to where did they get authority [04:28.640 --> 04:34.920] to do what they're doing, and back to Walker v. Packer. [04:34.920 --> 04:41.640] Walker v. Packer is one of my favorite cases, and it is so basic. [04:41.640 --> 04:50.800] We have to have some representative case in every state of Walker v. Packer, because it [04:50.800 --> 04:59.960] goes to the notion that a public official may only do what they are specifically authorized [04:59.960 --> 05:10.400] to do, whereas you, as a citizen in a republic, you can do anything you want to unless the [05:10.400 --> 05:14.360] law forbids you to do a thing. [05:14.360 --> 05:20.920] Public officials, on the other hand, they may only do what they are specifically authorized [05:20.920 --> 05:21.920] to do. [05:21.920 --> 05:31.680] So Eric, how are these, are they city council or whatever they are, these public officials? [05:31.680 --> 05:39.160] It's sort of really the mayor, because he's sort of the CEO of the company, and his zoning [05:39.160 --> 05:40.280] board. [05:40.280 --> 05:48.680] So he covertly says to the zoning board, hey, we need to start letting things get built. [05:48.680 --> 05:50.880] The last two mayors haven't built anything. [05:50.880 --> 05:53.640] We want to start building stuff. [05:53.640 --> 05:56.760] So you start letting this stuff go through. [05:56.760 --> 06:04.200] So specifically, where does the zoning board get this authority? [06:04.200 --> 06:07.200] They don't. [06:07.200 --> 06:16.760] Then have you attacked the zoning board under official misconduct? [06:16.760 --> 06:21.400] Have you read the official misconduct statute in Massachusetts? [06:21.400 --> 06:22.400] I have not. [06:22.400 --> 06:23.400] Okay. [06:23.400 --> 06:30.240] I would like you to take the phone and beat yourself around the eyes and the ears. [06:30.240 --> 06:32.960] Go look that statute up. [06:32.960 --> 06:40.840] Most of the times when I take on a jurisdiction, the biggest problem they have is with the [06:40.840 --> 06:45.200] most basic of issues. [06:45.200 --> 06:54.840] People get into a situation and they jump into the thick of it without taking a giant [06:54.840 --> 07:03.560] step back and making sure they've touched every statutory requirement before they get [07:03.560 --> 07:06.200] there. [07:06.200 --> 07:19.360] Where in Massachusetts or the local municipal statutes does this zoning board get the authority [07:19.360 --> 07:21.160] to change zoning? [07:21.160 --> 07:24.920] There has to be something. [07:24.920 --> 07:28.840] If there isn't something, they can't change zoning. [07:28.840 --> 07:33.720] Well, they're giving out variances. [07:33.720 --> 07:40.240] Where do they specifically do they get authority to grant a variance? [07:40.240 --> 07:42.760] That has to be in law. [07:42.760 --> 07:44.800] It cannot be assumed. [07:44.800 --> 07:52.680] Now, you can give a variance if you're in a contractual agreement with someone. [07:52.680 --> 07:53.680] You are the principal. [07:53.680 --> 07:58.420] You could give a variance, but these are public officials. [07:58.420 --> 08:04.360] They can't give a variance unless some law specifically states that they could give this [08:04.360 --> 08:05.560] variance. [08:05.560 --> 08:10.320] Where is that law? [08:10.320 --> 08:19.400] If you don't have that, you don't know what you're talking about. [08:19.400 --> 08:20.400] Read it. [08:20.400 --> 08:21.400] Find it. [08:21.400 --> 08:27.920] I can guarantee you if you read it, you'll know more about it than they do because these [08:27.920 --> 08:35.160] guys get elected to these boards and they just do what they are told they can do. [08:35.160 --> 08:36.160] Don't question it. [08:36.160 --> 08:46.680] My son-in-law got elected as a JP, and I read the code to him, this is what you must do [08:46.680 --> 08:48.680] by law. [08:48.680 --> 08:54.740] He went to this training, and they trained him to do other things that aren't even close [08:54.740 --> 09:02.000] to what the law commands, but this is what the state trained him to do. [09:02.000 --> 09:13.120] He gets into this mode of cognitive dissonance where he can't imagine that the state's telling [09:13.120 --> 09:20.400] him wrong, and he does what they tell him to do. [09:20.400 --> 09:27.240] Well, he's my son-in-law, so I left him alone, but I'm going to beat the crap out of every [09:27.240 --> 09:33.240] other JP in the state of Texas that I get a shot at because they're doing what they're [09:33.240 --> 09:38.360] trained to do, and it is illegal. [09:38.360 --> 09:43.640] I know it's illegal because I read the code that gives them authorization. [09:43.640 --> 09:49.600] You need to read the code that gives them authority to issue a variance, and what are [09:49.600 --> 09:55.880] the considerations that must be included before giving out that variance? [09:55.880 --> 09:56.880] It doesn't matter. [09:56.880 --> 10:00.080] Your courts aren't upholding these laws. [10:00.080 --> 10:05.320] They're putting up a barrier by saying, you don't have standing. [10:05.320 --> 10:06.960] I'm not going to hear this issue. [10:06.960 --> 10:08.160] I don't care what they did to you. [10:08.160 --> 10:09.160] I don't care what they're building. [10:09.160 --> 10:13.960] I don't care if it's a nuclear power plant that's leaking on your property because you [10:13.960 --> 10:15.440] don't have standing. [10:15.440 --> 10:16.440] Okay. [10:16.440 --> 10:20.120] Have you went after the judges personally? [10:20.120 --> 10:21.120] No. [10:21.120 --> 10:24.280] No, that I have not. [10:24.280 --> 10:32.080] If a judge exerts or purports to exert an authority he does not expressly have and in [10:32.080 --> 10:38.000] the process denies you the full and free access to enjoyment of right, that is a crime in [10:38.000 --> 10:48.640] every state because it reflects 18 U.S. Code 242, the Ku Klux Klan Act. [10:48.640 --> 10:53.000] Every state has a statute that reflects that. [10:53.000 --> 10:57.420] You have judges failing to perform duties they're required to perform. [10:57.420 --> 10:59.480] Go after the judge personally. [10:59.480 --> 11:03.040] You have a special power. [11:03.040 --> 11:12.480] No lawyer in his right professional mind would risk incurring the ire of a judge. [11:12.480 --> 11:20.720] It would be unethical because the judge will screw his next client to get back at it. [11:20.720 --> 11:26.760] And by annoying the judge he denies his next client into a fair trial. [11:26.760 --> 11:30.080] You don't have a client. [11:30.080 --> 11:35.080] You don't care if that judge is P.O.ed or not. [11:35.080 --> 11:38.120] He can't do anything to you. [11:38.120 --> 11:42.840] You can do lots to him. [11:42.840 --> 11:49.480] Everything about this show Brett and I do is about this concept. [11:49.480 --> 11:54.640] You are the baddest motor scooter in the building. [11:54.640 --> 12:00.040] When you walk into a courthouse you're the baddest motor scooter in the building is only [12:00.040 --> 12:02.040] one reason. [12:02.040 --> 12:09.720] You're not a judge, you're not a prosecutor, a bailiff, a clerk, they're all public servants. [12:09.720 --> 12:16.340] You you're the master of those servants and it is your job to keep your master, to keep [12:16.340 --> 12:20.640] your servants in line. [12:20.640 --> 12:27.280] So take a step back, step outside the content and look down on it from the top. [12:27.280 --> 12:30.080] Look at the structure. [12:30.080 --> 12:36.480] If this judge says you don't have standing he better come up with findings of fact and [12:36.480 --> 12:42.480] conclusions at law or I'll charge him criminally. [12:42.480 --> 12:46.240] We had a judge in the county I live in, he rendered a ruling. [12:46.240 --> 12:52.840] We asked for findings of fact and conclusions at law and he refused to produce them. [12:52.840 --> 12:58.160] So in the law it says if the judge shall produce findings of fact and conclusions of law within [12:58.160 --> 12:59.160] 20 days. [12:59.160 --> 13:03.440] If he fails to do so you can file a notice of late filing. [13:03.440 --> 13:07.280] So we asked for findings of fact, he didn't produce. [13:07.280 --> 13:13.840] We filed a notice of late filing and we filed criminal charges with the grand jury. [13:13.840 --> 13:16.960] It said he shall produce. [13:16.960 --> 13:21.400] It did not say he may, might or can if he wants to. [13:21.400 --> 13:25.960] Don't care that I have another remedy. [13:25.960 --> 13:28.560] That was a civil remedy. [13:28.560 --> 13:34.080] He failed to perform a duty he is required to perform and in the process denied Philip [13:34.080 --> 13:38.040] in the full and free access to her and draw me to write this crime in the state of Texas. [13:38.040 --> 13:42.240] I bet it's a crime in Massachusetts too. [13:42.240 --> 13:46.200] Nobody takes them on, only you can do that. [13:46.200 --> 13:51.320] That makes you the most powerful person in the room. [13:51.320 --> 13:56.040] I understand that, it's just understanding the path to take and that's what I'm getting [13:56.040 --> 13:57.040] from you. [13:57.040 --> 14:02.800] Yeah, just, you know, I have this rule. [14:02.800 --> 14:10.480] Never ask a public official to do anything you actually want them to do. [14:10.480 --> 14:17.480] Because you never ask a public official to do anything that the law does not compel them [14:17.480 --> 14:23.080] to do so that when they don't do it, boom, you get to land on them. [14:23.080 --> 14:32.760] They think here in Dallas, Tarrant, Wise, Montague, all these counties around the DFW [14:32.760 --> 14:40.680] area and Travis County and Austin and Stephenville and Harris, they all know me. [14:40.680 --> 14:45.280] And the word is, if that countenance will be, comes into your office, watch out. [14:45.280 --> 14:51.360] He's trying to get you to do something so he can call 911 and try to get you arrested. [14:51.360 --> 14:56.160] And that's right, I am, so don't screw with me. [14:56.160 --> 14:57.700] Follow law the way it's written. [14:57.700 --> 15:00.400] I do not care what you were trained. [15:00.400 --> 15:04.720] I don't care what the state told you, you can do. [15:04.720 --> 15:12.160] I care what the law specifically authorizes you to do and if it doesn't authorize you [15:12.160 --> 15:15.360] to do it, you can't. [15:15.360 --> 15:17.200] You go in from that perspective. [15:17.200 --> 15:24.040] I keep hearing you saying, the judges, they keep saying, I don't have standing. [15:24.040 --> 15:28.360] Do you think you have standing? [15:28.360 --> 15:29.360] I do. [15:29.360 --> 15:30.360] I do. [15:30.360 --> 15:38.360] Then, accuse the judge of official misconduct who denied you the full and free access to [15:38.360 --> 15:41.160] enjoyment right. [15:41.160 --> 15:47.080] Accused him personally, lawyers would never do that, but you're not a lawyer. [15:47.080 --> 15:51.720] You're not going to be bringing clients before that judge, he can screw. [15:51.720 --> 15:56.480] So you don't care if he's upset at you or not. [15:56.480 --> 16:00.080] It gives you an incredible power over these guys. [16:00.080 --> 16:05.880] Our founders knew exactly what they were doing when they set this system up. [16:05.880 --> 16:10.080] You are the ultimate check to the balance of power. [16:10.080 --> 16:12.800] Take them on. [16:12.800 --> 16:18.880] You will find it is so much fun, you won't believe it. [16:18.880 --> 16:23.800] Okay, we're about to go to our sponsors. [16:23.800 --> 16:27.480] Eric, when we come back on the other side. [16:27.480 --> 16:28.480] Yep. [16:28.480 --> 16:32.240] Let's talk about this from a different perspective. [16:32.240 --> 16:36.840] How can we set up these judges so we can hammer them? [16:36.840 --> 16:43.720] How can we lead them into giving us a bogus ruling so we can stick it to them? [16:43.720 --> 16:49.320] Hang on, Randy Fountain, Rule of Law Radio, I'm not going to give out the call-in numbers, [16:49.320 --> 16:56.120] we still have a full board of callers, we'll be right back in a few seconds.

[18:00.240 --> 18:04.840] Rule of Law Radio is proud to offer the rule of law traffic seminar. [18:04.840 --> 18:08.640] In today's America, we live in an us-against-them society and if we, the people, are ever going [18:08.640 --> 18:12.320] to have a free society, then we're going to have to stand and defend our own rights. [18:12.320 --> 18:15.800] Among those rights are the right to travel freely from place to place, the right to act [18:15.800 --> 18:19.840] in our own private capacity, and most importantly, the right to due process of law. [18:19.840 --> 18:23.680] Traffic courts afford us the least expensive opportunity to learn how to enforce and preserve [18:23.680 --> 18:25.040] our rights through due process.

[18:58.560 --> 19:07.560] You are listening to the Logos Radio Network, the LogosradioNetwork.com. [19:07.560 --> 19:30.920] Okay. [19:30.920 --> 19:31.920] We are back. [19:31.920 --> 19:37.400] Randy Kelton, Brett Fountain, Rule of Law Radio and Eric, we're talking to Eric Massachusetts. [19:37.400 --> 19:51.120] Eric, go back and read, especially read your Criminal Procedure Code, your Rules of Penal [19:51.120 --> 19:52.120] Code. [19:52.120 --> 19:53.120] You need to read the Penal Code. [19:53.120 --> 20:02.320] You're going to have a section on official misconduct or duties of officers. [20:02.320 --> 20:04.560] Read those codes. [20:04.560 --> 20:14.880] I feel like you're trapped in this place people get into when public officials don't do what [20:14.880 --> 20:17.200] we believe they're supposed to do. [20:17.200 --> 20:22.640] We tend to get this feeling of helplessness because the courts aren't following the rules. [20:22.640 --> 20:25.160] So what can we do if the court doesn't follow the rules? [20:25.160 --> 20:34.240] Well, we need to take a step back and bring the courts to the rule book. [20:34.240 --> 20:46.680] Will you call in next week, look in Massachusetts law and tell us what laws you have to control [20:46.680 --> 20:50.280] recalcitrant public officials? [20:50.280 --> 20:52.080] Does that make sense, Eric? [20:52.080 --> 20:55.080] It does, it does. [20:55.080 --> 20:56.880] So I have a quick question. [20:56.880 --> 21:05.240] So I've sort of asked this several times, how do I get my zoning rules in front of a [21:05.240 --> 21:12.600] judge so that I can get them to say, yes, this is a contract? [21:12.600 --> 21:20.600] That becomes less of a problem after you call them on the crimes they're committing. [21:20.600 --> 21:25.080] As long as you let them go on with whatever they say and you just try to figure out a [21:25.080 --> 21:32.560] new way to say it, say your piece, and they just get to go scot-free without you ever [21:32.560 --> 21:38.200] holding them accountable for the crimes, well, then they're going to feel like they can say [21:38.200 --> 21:42.960] whatever they want next time you walk in there with a different phrase. [21:42.960 --> 21:49.440] What is the question that you want to ask the courts? [21:49.440 --> 21:55.680] So again, if this is a contract, which I'm claiming it is, which is different than probably [21:55.680 --> 22:01.660] any other town in the whole US, maybe, or almost all towns, because you're never going [22:01.660 --> 22:07.960] to get the residents and the mayor to sign something together. [22:07.960 --> 22:15.440] It's normally it would be just the board or the mayor or whatever. [22:15.440 --> 22:22.120] So how do I get this in front of some court, whether it's a judicial review or... [22:22.120 --> 22:23.120] That I got. [22:23.120 --> 22:25.880] They say, yes, this is a contract. [22:25.880 --> 22:33.720] Look in Massachusetts law for a declaratory judgment act. [22:33.720 --> 22:35.240] Every state's going to have one. [22:35.240 --> 22:43.320] And what a declaratory judgment act is, it's not a suit for damages of any kind. [22:43.320 --> 22:48.520] You can't ask for attorney fees, you can't ask for anything. [22:48.520 --> 22:57.800] A declaratory judgment suit is a suit to determine the application of a law. [22:57.800 --> 23:02.840] You say to the court, I believe I have a claim, but I'm not certain. [23:02.840 --> 23:09.720] I need the court to clarify the application of this law. [23:09.720 --> 23:19.200] You say we have these zoning ordinances that were part of the contract when I purchased [23:19.200 --> 23:23.280] this property. [23:23.280 --> 23:33.640] Where does the zoning board get specific authority to change the zoning ordinances? [23:33.640 --> 23:35.720] That's not the right way to ask it. [23:35.720 --> 23:46.680] You ask, can the zoning board change the conditions of a contract after the contract is consummated? [23:46.680 --> 23:48.480] There you go. [23:48.480 --> 23:51.480] And you do that in a petition for declaratory judgment. [23:51.480 --> 23:57.160] So the only thing before the court is this singular point of law. [23:57.160 --> 24:00.600] And you're saying, I think I have a claim. [24:00.600 --> 24:10.840] But before I institute a full on civil action in the interest of judicial economy, I need [24:10.840 --> 24:19.800] a ruling on this specific point of law and ask them for that ruling. [24:19.800 --> 24:20.800] Does that make sense? [24:20.800 --> 24:21.800] It does. [24:21.800 --> 24:28.520] So I'm asking which court do I take it to, the Superior Court, the Gills Court, the Federal [24:28.520 --> 24:29.520] Court? [24:29.520 --> 24:33.720] Okay, hold on, you can't do it that way. [24:33.720 --> 24:36.940] You can't ask them to give you legal advice. [24:36.940 --> 24:44.720] You have to say, we have these laws here, we have the Sixth Amendment that forbids a [24:44.720 --> 24:57.440] governmental agency from impairing the, what word, impairing the obligations of contracts. [24:57.440 --> 25:00.600] The obligation of contracts. [25:00.600 --> 25:08.920] Does the zoning board, when they change the zoning, impair the obligation of the contract [25:08.920 --> 25:12.920] I entered into when I purchased this property? [25:12.920 --> 25:17.880] Well, what court do I present this to? [25:17.880 --> 25:18.880] District court. [25:18.880 --> 25:22.000] You need to, most likely- Looking through the Declaratory Judgment Act. [25:22.000 --> 25:23.000] Yeah. [25:23.000 --> 25:27.680] I'll lay in there which court to file it with. [25:27.680 --> 25:30.680] Okay. [25:30.680 --> 25:35.480] Most lawyers don't even know what it is, it's a fairly new remedy. [25:35.480 --> 25:41.080] I filed one in the Federal Court and the lawyer for Lock Lord, one of the largest law firms [25:41.080 --> 25:45.600] in the country, asked the court to dismiss the failure to state a claim on which cover [25:45.600 --> 25:46.600] can be had. [25:46.600 --> 25:52.280] Well, declaratory judgment suits do not have claims, period. [25:52.280 --> 25:57.000] The judge dismissed the case with prejudice for failure to state a claim. [25:57.000 --> 26:03.120] He didn't understand what it was, so I filed criminal charges against him with the special [26:03.120 --> 26:05.320] agent in charge of the FBI. [26:05.320 --> 26:09.920] That was so much fun. [26:09.920 --> 26:13.160] It is fairly new and they won't know what it is. [26:13.160 --> 26:21.560] Read the Declaratory Judgment Act from Massachusetts, twice at least, and then craft, you're merely [26:21.560 --> 26:30.720] asking the question for- I'm sorry, asking the courts for a ruling on a point of law. [26:30.720 --> 26:38.400] You get that ruling in your favor, then you come after them with res judicata. [26:38.400 --> 26:39.400] Already been adjudicated. [26:39.400 --> 26:44.040] That's what I'm looking for. [26:44.040 --> 26:45.600] Okay. [26:45.600 --> 26:47.280] Research that, call us back next week. [26:47.280 --> 26:48.280] We do need to move on. [26:48.280 --> 26:51.960] We've got a bunch of callers and we're running out of time. [26:51.960 --> 26:52.960] All right. [26:52.960 --> 26:53.960] Bye-bye. [26:53.960 --> 26:54.960] Thank you, Eric. [26:54.960 --> 26:55.960] Okay. [26:55.960 --> 27:01.320] Now we're going to go to first-time caller 218 Area Code. [27:01.320 --> 27:02.720] Hello? [27:02.720 --> 27:04.080] Hello. [27:04.080 --> 27:09.240] Give us a first name and a state. [27:09.240 --> 27:10.240] Travis. [27:10.240 --> 27:12.240] Northern Wisconsin. [27:12.240 --> 27:23.200] Oh, that's good because I used to live up north, so I speak Yankee. [27:23.200 --> 27:25.200] What do you have for us today? [27:25.200 --> 27:33.200] The issue is, I was at a town board meeting and I was doing public comment- [27:33.200 --> 27:34.880] Okay, hold on, hold on. [27:34.880 --> 27:38.720] Back the mic a little away from your mouth, you're overdriving the mic. [27:38.720 --> 27:39.720] Okay. [27:39.720 --> 27:48.920] I was at a town board meeting and it was during public comment. [27:48.920 --> 27:50.160] One lady had already spoke. [27:50.160 --> 27:54.200] She used her three minutes and pretty much everybody else has spoke. [27:54.200 --> 27:55.400] I did not speak. [27:55.400 --> 28:02.120] I was there for something else and a lady asked if she could have another three minutes. [28:02.120 --> 28:07.840] They told her no and I offered her my three minutes. [28:07.840 --> 28:12.920] The chairman first said okay and then she stood up to go again and he said, no, I said [28:12.920 --> 28:13.920] only once. [28:13.920 --> 28:18.360] I said, well, I gave her my three minutes and I'm allowed to give my three minutes to [28:18.360 --> 28:21.800] who I want to speak for me. [28:21.800 --> 28:28.600] Pretty much at that point, I was taken out by the police physically and taken out the [28:28.600 --> 28:29.600] door. [28:29.600 --> 28:33.600] Once they got me out the door, they tried throwing me to the ground and arresting me. [28:33.600 --> 28:34.600] Wow. [28:34.600 --> 28:37.200] Well, obviously, you did such a horrible thing. [28:37.200 --> 28:43.520] I mean, how dare you give that lady your three minutes? [28:43.520 --> 28:46.440] Were you signed up to speak? [28:46.440 --> 28:50.800] No, there was no... It was public comments. [28:50.800 --> 28:57.120] Everybody gets three minutes and the main issue was they were trying to bring in federal [28:57.120 --> 29:01.040] housing and most of the town was against the federal housing coming into it. [29:01.040 --> 29:05.240] We're a one horse town, very small. [29:05.240 --> 29:12.760] I was there for a gravel permit from our property that was denied last year and our property [29:12.760 --> 29:18.080] borders another property that is a gravel fit, existing gravel fit, and they were up [29:18.080 --> 29:19.080] for renewal. [29:19.080 --> 29:23.440] I was there to protest their renewal, which I never got to because I was hauled to jail [29:23.440 --> 29:26.360] before that. [29:26.360 --> 29:28.360] What did they charge you with? [29:28.360 --> 29:36.840] See, when I left, when they arrested me, they hauled me, which our jail was 35 miles away. [29:36.840 --> 29:39.160] I never got any charges handed to me that night. [29:39.160 --> 29:40.160] I got a court date. [29:40.160 --> 29:47.120] It was April 13th, just as it happened, and disorderly conduct is what I've got. [29:47.120 --> 29:53.400] After I went to court on the 13th or the 17th of June, May, I mean, excuse me. [29:53.400 --> 30:01.320] Have you read the statute in Wisconsin for disorderly conduct? [30:01.320 --> 30:05.720] Everyone knows that walking is a great exercise, but you might not know that the way you walk [30:05.720 --> 30:07.760] could predict how long you're going to live. [30:07.760 --> 30:13.080] I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht, and I'll be back to tell you more about walking prognostication [30:13.080 --> 30:14.800] in just a moment. [30:14.800 --> 30:16.380] Privacy is under attack. [30:16.380 --> 30:20.780] When you give up data about yourself, you'll never get it back again, and once your privacy [30:20.780 --> 30:24.760] is gone, you'll find your freedoms will start to vanish, too. [30:24.760 --> 30:29.800] So protect your rights, say no to surveillance, and keep your information to yourself. [30:29.800 --> 30:32.520] Privacy, it's worth hanging onto. [30:32.520 --> 30:36.820] This public service announcement is brought to you by StartPage.com, the private search [30:36.820 --> 30:40.360] engine alternative to Google, Yahoo, and Bing. [30:40.360 --> 30:43.640] Start over with StartPage. [30:43.640 --> 30:48.040] New research shows how fast you walk could predict how long you're going to live. [30:48.040 --> 30:52.640] The Journal of the American Medical Association reports that older adults who walk one meter [30:52.640 --> 30:55.880] per second or faster live longer than expected. [30:55.880 --> 31:00.280] In case you're wondering, one meter per second is about two and a quarter miles per hour. [31:00.280 --> 31:04.960] A senior's age, gender, and walking speed were as good at predicting life expectancy [31:04.960 --> 31:07.680] as more traditional statistical measures. [31:07.680 --> 31:10.640] Generally speaking, faster walkers live longer. [31:10.640 --> 31:13.120] Measuring walking speed is quick and inexpensive. [31:13.120 --> 31:16.960] It only takes a stopwatch, some space to walk, and a few minutes. [31:16.960 --> 31:21.120] Researchers say it could help doctors identify older patients who need special care. [31:21.120 --> 31:23.040] I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht. [31:23.040 --> 31:30.480] More news and information at CatherineAlbrecht.com. [31:30.480 --> 31:31.480] I lost my son. [31:31.480 --> 31:32.480] My nephew. [31:32.480 --> 31:33.480] My uncle. [31:33.480 --> 31:34.480] My son. [31:34.480 --> 31:35.480] On September 11th, 2001. [31:35.480 --> 31:38.760] Most people don't know that a third tower fell on September 11th. [31:38.760 --> 31:42.840] World Trade Center 7, a 47-story skyscraper, was not hit by a plane. [31:42.840 --> 31:46.720] Although the official explanation is that fire brought down Building 7. [31:46.720 --> 31:51.560] Over 1,200 architects and engineers have looked into the evidence and believe there is more [31:51.560 --> 31:52.560] to the story. [31:52.560 --> 31:53.920] Bring justice to my son. [31:53.920 --> 31:54.920] My uncle. [31:54.920 --> 31:55.920] My nephew. [31:55.920 --> 31:56.920] My son.

[34:08.000 --> 34:09.000] We are back. [34:09.000 --> 34:10.000] Randy Felt, Brett Fountain, Rue La Radio. [34:10.000 --> 34:15.280] And off the break, Brett looked up disorderly conduct in Wisconsin. [34:15.280 --> 34:17.360] Brett, would you address that? [34:17.360 --> 34:19.400] Yeah, sure. [34:19.400 --> 34:22.480] You may have looked at this yourself, hopefully so. [34:22.480 --> 34:24.080] If not, you should. [34:24.080 --> 34:34.200] I'm finding it here under what looks like in the statutes, it says 947.01, disorderly [34:34.200 --> 34:35.200] conduct. [34:35.200 --> 34:43.920] And it's got what looks like is really more severe than what you're describing here. [34:43.920 --> 34:52.280] It says, whoever in a public or private place engages in violent, abusive, indecent, profane, [34:52.280 --> 35:00.360] boisterous, unreasonably loud or otherwise disorderly conduct, they use the definition [35:00.360 --> 35:01.360] in the definition. [35:01.360 --> 35:08.240] They use the term in the definition that's being defined, but it says, this conduct is [35:08.240 --> 35:15.920] under circumstances in which the conduct tends to cause or promote a disturbance. [35:15.920 --> 35:19.040] So that's pretty intense, right? [35:19.040 --> 35:26.120] Yeah, I was charged with also a felony of resisting an officer and causing a soft tissue [35:26.120 --> 35:28.360] injury to the officer. [35:28.360 --> 35:31.640] What, the poor guy, what happened? [35:31.640 --> 35:37.800] Oh, it's crazy, they got me outside, they tried tackling me, now I'm 55 years old, I'm [35:37.800 --> 35:42.440] not in terrible shape, but I'm not in real good shape, but they tried tackling me and [35:42.440 --> 35:48.080] long story short, I'm telling them to knock it off, I end up on top of the chief of police [35:48.080 --> 35:54.320] and another officer pushing me down into him and I'm yelling at him to knock it off. [35:54.320 --> 35:59.080] You're crushing your other officer and I asked Tony, who is the chief of police, if [35:59.080 --> 36:05.640] he was okay and I tell the other officer to knock it off again and he finally did, I helped [36:05.640 --> 36:11.640] the chief up and then I let them cuff me and yeah, then they're taking me to the squad [36:11.640 --> 36:16.840] car and now I was giving them disorderly conduct. [36:16.840 --> 36:21.880] The way I looked at it is once they grabbed me inside for no reason, giving somebody three [36:21.880 --> 36:28.160] minutes of my time, to me that's assault, they had no business touching me and they [36:28.160 --> 36:33.920] also assaulted my wife in the same manner by grabbing her and holding her back from [36:33.920 --> 36:40.560] grabbing my phone and recording stuff when they tried tackling me. [36:40.560 --> 36:45.440] They didn't tell me I was under arrest when they grabbed me, so therefore I wasn't under [36:45.440 --> 36:51.200] arrest, they had no business to touch me as far as I know and then they get me outside [36:51.200 --> 36:54.680] and they never read me my rights, none of that. [36:54.680 --> 37:01.800] Have you charged them with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon? [37:01.800 --> 37:08.640] I tried to, I actually, when they released me, it's right next to the sheriff's office, [37:08.640 --> 37:16.240] so I had them dispatch a sheriff and they refused to press charges or file a complaint. [37:16.240 --> 37:25.880] What does the law in Wisconsin say that a police officer must do when he's made known [37:25.880 --> 37:30.120] that a crime has been committed? [37:30.120 --> 37:34.080] Let me explain why I ask that question that way. [37:34.080 --> 37:42.200] In Texas, Article 2.13 says that when a peace officer is made known that a crime has been [37:42.200 --> 37:48.960] committed, he shall give notice to some magistrate. [37:48.960 --> 37:52.160] Do you have something similar in Wisconsin? [37:52.160 --> 38:01.200] I guess I'm not following what you mean, he filed a complaint with them, I guess. [38:01.200 --> 38:02.760] Hold on, hold on. [38:02.760 --> 38:09.680] Let me just clarify here, the police filing a complaint is different from you filing a [38:09.680 --> 38:10.680] complaint. [38:10.680 --> 38:18.320] It's not just you telling some officer, sheriff, whoever, hey, I need you to file a complaint. [38:18.320 --> 38:23.640] That's one way, but if you file a complaint, that's something else. [38:23.640 --> 38:27.280] So you're their duty to act. [38:27.280 --> 38:29.520] Let me address this. [38:29.520 --> 38:38.960] When a policeman files a criminal complaint, he does not do so in his capacity as a policeman. [38:38.960 --> 38:45.200] In no state have I ever seen any law that gives a policeman a special capacity to file [38:45.200 --> 38:47.800] a criminal complaint. [38:47.800 --> 38:55.040] All citizens have the right and the duty to file criminal complaints when they have knowledge [38:55.040 --> 38:57.680] that a crime has been committed. [38:57.680 --> 39:03.320] In a felony, in Texas, if it's a felony with bodily injury and you have knowledge of it [39:03.320 --> 39:07.080] and you don't file it, that's a crime in itself. [39:07.080 --> 39:15.480] So any citizen in most any state has the right and the duty to file a criminal complaint. [39:15.480 --> 39:22.080] When a policeman files a complaint, he does so in his capacity as a citizen. [39:22.080 --> 39:25.880] You have the same capacity. [39:25.880 --> 39:34.020] Read your criminal procedure code for Wisconsin and then read your penal code. [39:34.020 --> 39:35.020] Read them twice. [39:35.020 --> 39:38.040] Read it the first time. [39:38.040 --> 39:47.360] Don't try to understand it, just read it because the laws aren't enacted in order. [39:47.360 --> 39:52.320] You have a law in the front that refers to a law in the back and it jumps all over the [39:52.320 --> 39:53.320] place. [39:53.320 --> 39:58.440] So just read it through and then go back and read it a second time. [39:58.440 --> 40:01.680] All these pieces will start connecting together. [40:01.680 --> 40:06.200] I'm telling you, it'll read like a comic book. [40:06.200 --> 40:10.440] You'll be laughing and giggling at all the fine stuff you find in there you can beat [40:10.440 --> 40:12.440] them up with. [40:12.440 --> 40:18.560] I can almost guarantee you that no prosecutor or no policeman has ever read it the first [40:18.560 --> 40:22.520] time, much less twice. [40:22.520 --> 40:26.120] And it's outlined, so there's lots of white space. [40:26.120 --> 40:30.680] You get the book and it looks real big, but when you start going through it, there's all [40:30.680 --> 40:34.480] kind of white space in there, so it reads very quickly. [40:34.480 --> 40:40.940] You read that thing twice, then go back and look at what they did and compare it to what [40:40.940 --> 40:41.940] you just read. [40:41.940 --> 40:45.520] You'll be surprised what you find. [40:45.520 --> 40:55.080] Take a look at, in Wisconsin there, take a look at 968.01 and especially subsection two [40:55.080 --> 40:56.080] there. [40:56.080 --> 41:02.600] It says, the complaint is a written instrument of the essential facts constituting the offense [41:02.600 --> 41:03.600] charged. [41:03.600 --> 41:11.280] A person may make a complaint on information and belief, and then it says, accept as provided [41:11.280 --> 41:17.640] in these other subsections, the complaint shall be made upon oath before a district [41:17.640 --> 41:21.760] attorney or judge as provided in this chapter. [41:21.760 --> 41:28.840] So there's your starting point, your springboard to figure out where to take this to, what [41:28.840 --> 41:30.600] it means to have in it. [41:30.600 --> 41:34.720] And then look under duties of officers. [41:34.720 --> 41:41.200] In Texas, under duties of officers, the first officer they address is a prosecutor. [41:41.200 --> 41:46.560] And it says, when a prosecutor is made known that a crime has been committed, he shall [41:46.560 --> 41:49.320] give notice to some magistrate. [41:49.320 --> 41:54.840] Actually, it says only do that in the case of a felony. [41:54.840 --> 42:00.880] If it's a misdemeanor, he's to give notice to the clerk of the court of jurisdiction. [42:00.880 --> 42:04.560] Read what it says in Wisconsin. [42:04.560 --> 42:10.240] When I say this will read like a comic book, you'll read that and you'll be amazed at what [42:10.240 --> 42:16.320] you see, all the stuff you can beat them up with. [42:16.320 --> 42:22.040] Their own laws, the way they use their laws, these guys don't have a clue as to what the [42:22.040 --> 42:23.920] law says. [42:23.920 --> 42:29.520] They're trained to do what everybody's been doing. [42:29.520 --> 42:36.120] You heard me speak to my son-in-law, who's a justice of the peace. [42:36.120 --> 42:39.680] And he talked to me and I walked him through the codes. [42:39.680 --> 42:44.720] And then he went to training that the state provided and it was nothing like what the [42:44.720 --> 42:47.920] code said. [42:47.920 --> 42:51.120] You can use this to your advantage. [42:51.120 --> 42:56.240] These police think that what they were doing was in furtherance of code and for the most [42:56.240 --> 42:59.640] part it is not. [42:59.640 --> 43:08.200] So read the codes, read them twice, read them both times, just read through them quickly. [43:08.200 --> 43:11.740] And when you read through the second time, your brain will start stitching all these [43:11.740 --> 43:22.280] pieces together and then call us back next week and we will have an interesting conversation. [43:22.280 --> 43:25.440] That statue was 968 what? [43:25.440 --> 43:32.680] Yeah, 968.01 subsection two. [43:32.680 --> 43:37.440] Read that whole section and it'll help you stitch all those pieces together. [43:37.440 --> 43:41.320] When you read the whole thing, there's a lot of it that really doesn't apply. [43:41.320 --> 43:44.480] So you just kind of skim through it. [43:44.480 --> 43:46.080] But you never know what's going to apply. [43:46.080 --> 43:50.600] So read them twice, call us back next week and let's have an interesting conversation. [43:50.600 --> 43:54.920] We're about to go to our sponsors, Randy Fountain, Brett Fountain, the wheel of our [43:54.920 --> 43:55.920] radio. [43:55.920 --> 43:56.920] We'll be right back.

[46:30.460 --> 46:32.400] When I'm hungry I like to know just what I'm fishin' for. [46:32.400 --> 46:52.200] Okay, we are back. Randy Helton, Brett Fountain, Rue La Radio, and Lewis. Just read through [46:52.200 --> 46:57.320] those. Now, when you read the codes, both the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Criminal [46:57.320 --> 47:03.000] Procedure Code, I've changed that because Texas has a different way of saying it. Most [47:03.000 --> 47:07.480] states call it Criminal Procedure Code. You probably only need to go through the first [47:07.480 --> 47:13.480] half because you'll get, after the first half, you'll get into some really obscure stuff [47:13.480 --> 47:19.520] and you'll know when you get into that stuff. And then read the Penal Code. The Penal Code [47:19.520 --> 47:31.040] is the best because the Penal Code applies to everybody, police and public alike. Read [47:31.040 --> 47:36.880] Criminal Procedure Code, Penal Code. Go back, read Criminal Procedure Code, Penal Code again [47:36.880 --> 47:43.920] and you will know far more about these codes than they do. Then call us back next week. [47:43.920 --> 47:54.360] All right, I will do that. And we will have an interesting conversation. Okay. Same number [47:54.360 --> 48:07.640] then? Say that again. Call the same number again? Absolutely. Okay. Okay, thank you Lewis. [48:07.640 --> 48:17.880] Thank you. Okay, now we're going to Ms. Mary in Austin. Hello, Ms. Mary. Hey guys, how's [48:17.880 --> 48:26.400] it going? It's going good. Mary is my sweetheart. Mary is so cool. We were sitting in a restaurant [48:26.400 --> 48:38.360] in Austin and I, and I, right on the lake, she remembers and I sneeze and my teeth bounced [48:38.360 --> 48:51.440] across the table and fell on the floor. And she didn't even make a big deal of it. You [48:51.440 --> 48:58.920] remember that? To go do something dangerous? We had bigger things on our minds than our [48:58.920 --> 49:04.720] teeth falling out or our gray hair. Were you about to go see the governor or something [49:04.720 --> 49:11.720] or try to go to court? Yeah, it gets really bad when you're sitting in Austin on the lake [49:11.720 --> 49:22.040] at a nice restaurant with a hot babe and your teeth bounce across. Oh, that was bad. Okay. [49:22.040 --> 49:31.640] It kind of ruins the moment. Yeah, it does. Okay. What do you have? Well, you're one of [49:31.640 --> 49:42.720] the people I have respect for. You have really done the work. Okay, so my first question, [49:42.720 --> 49:54.600] is it indigenously indignant or indigenous? Indigenously indignant or indignantly indigenous? [49:54.600 --> 50:03.760] Well, I don't know. Somebody used the term indigenously and I thought he was using indigeneous [50:03.760 --> 50:12.640] and indig, indignant, but he's trying to say indigeneous. I can't even say it now. Indigent. [50:12.640 --> 50:20.360] It's just three... Are they mad? Are they previously native? Why are they broke? Broke. [50:20.360 --> 50:32.120] I'm going to say it next time I'm indignant. And I just need a couple of comments before [50:32.120 --> 50:39.400] I launch into my ails. Eric, I'm thinking Eric should sue the city manager. I don't [50:39.400 --> 50:46.160] know why he thinks the mayor is so damn powerful. Go for that city manager for arbitrary, frivolous [50:46.160 --> 50:54.280] and discriminatory public policy. I'm just thinking maybe. It's just, they want to make [50:54.280 --> 50:59.760] a public decorum and public policy and then they want to infact it for their own benefit. [50:59.760 --> 51:05.280] Well, that's arbitrary. It's frivolous and it's discriminatory and screw the mayor. He's [51:05.280 --> 51:12.920] a nobody. He's a mascot. He gets changes with the weather, every blue moon. Let's go for [51:12.920 --> 51:22.040] the manager. Let's go for the city manager. How do we get to the city manager? Well, just [51:22.040 --> 51:28.960] blame everything on him. He's just suing for having frivolous policy. Discriminatory. [51:28.960 --> 51:38.320] Yeah, but does the city manager make policy? Well, yeah. I would say, I mean, I know there's [51:38.320 --> 51:43.280] the technicalities that you're looking for, but in general, I'm saying he's going to have [51:43.280 --> 51:50.240] the onus for the city structure, just like the governor here with the state. So these [51:50.240 --> 52:01.240] guys are right there in front of us waiting to be sued. All of them. I like that phrase. [52:01.240 --> 52:08.520] Arbitrary public policy. Well, arbitrary and discriminatory. And capricious. Yeah, capricious [52:08.520 --> 52:16.880] is the word I was looking for, because they were talking about that on Boston Legal. Capricious. [52:16.880 --> 52:23.520] It's just an idea. It's just an idea. Don't forget the city managers. And then I liked [52:23.520 --> 52:30.880] your discussion earlier about frivolous. You know, we have a lot of friends here and they're [52:30.880 --> 52:39.800] sued to be called frivolous. And so how do we call their suit frivolous? Yeah. And generally, [52:39.800 --> 52:46.080] that's pretty easy. Lawyers are really bad about throwing in their favorite arguments, [52:46.080 --> 52:52.240] whether they apply or not. Yeah. Yeah. I think I have that. Yeah. Yeah. And what people don't [52:52.240 --> 52:59.640] do is they hear the argument and they jump in to challenge the argument and they don't [52:59.640 --> 53:08.480] take a step back and say, wait a minute, wait a minute. Do I need to address this? Yeah. [53:08.480 --> 53:13.920] Does it even matter? And a number of times I've been helping people where I get all of [53:13.920 --> 53:21.360] these arguments by the lawyers on the other side. And one in particular, Brett, you remember [53:21.360 --> 53:26.880] Philip, we had all these arguments and we put in the response that we weren't, we're [53:26.880 --> 53:32.880] not going to address this list of arguments as they're absolutely frivolous and have no [53:32.880 --> 53:38.320] bearing on anything. So we won't waste the court's time with them. That even if what [53:38.320 --> 53:42.800] the lawyers were arguing was absolutely true, it wouldn't make any difference at the end [53:42.800 --> 53:51.240] of the day. So we just ignore them. That's a consideration everyone needs to make. Lawyers [53:51.240 --> 53:58.800] know that if they poke the bear, the bear will jump. What happens? What I enjoyed about [53:58.800 --> 54:06.480] that is that the attorneys were having to respond to me, random, just dude that doesn't [54:06.480 --> 54:15.360] have anything to do with the case because I was making a lot of records requests. Okay. [54:15.360 --> 54:20.440] I wanted to see, well, I hear about this going on over there. I hear that you're doing this [54:20.440 --> 54:25.440] and that and the other, and I want to see some records. And the attorneys kept on getting [54:25.440 --> 54:31.440] all that funneled to them. The attorneys kept on trying to talk to me about it. And so while [54:31.440 --> 54:38.560] they were juggling this other, they were doing that at the same time. That's what I thought [54:38.560 --> 54:39.560] was fun. [54:39.560 --> 54:50.400] Yeah. Well, that's when you started hammering the attorneys, like get lost, shoot, go away. [54:50.400 --> 55:00.640] And after all this time doing what we do, there are just things we miss. Things we don't, [55:00.640 --> 55:05.840] that never comes to mind. And the idea that I don't have to talk to an attorney is not [55:05.840 --> 55:14.840] something that came to mind. And Brett came up with that and it was so logical and reasonable [55:14.840 --> 55:22.120] that I was annoyed that I never thought of it. Why should I waste my time with this attorney? [55:22.120 --> 55:33.800] I didn't hire him. Especially if you're pro se. If both sides had counsel, then in their [55:33.800 --> 55:42.760] contractual agreements, the litigant, the client agrees not to talk to the opposing [55:42.760 --> 55:50.200] client. Well, lawyers are real accustomed to that. But when they're dealing with a pro [55:50.200 --> 55:57.200] se, the pro se doesn't have that restriction. So even if the client on the other side can't [55:57.200 --> 56:03.480] talk to the pro se, the pro se can talk to the client. And if the lawyer don't like it, [56:03.480 --> 56:14.080] who cares? And the pro se litigant has no duty to talk to this third party interloper. [56:14.080 --> 56:17.720] You got some bad legal advice? I don't want to have to take the time to correct you. Go [56:17.720 --> 56:24.120] give your legal advice to whoever paid for it. Exactly. I'll hammer him for your bad [56:24.120 --> 56:32.480] legal advice. Why I'm taking on a different tact. I'm consuming some amount of equality [56:32.480 --> 56:38.680] with these guys. And right now I'm going against an international firm. I try to get names [56:38.680 --> 56:48.480] of partners when I'm doing my suits, civil suits. I'm sorry, civil suits. And she said, [56:48.480 --> 56:58.840] she thought about 1,500, they're international. And so it's funny to annoy them by kind of [56:58.840 --> 57:05.520] treating myself as an equal. And I try to spend as much time as I can talking to them [57:05.520 --> 57:11.400] because I want them to have a good billing for their client, who I'm suing. So I'm looking [57:11.400 --> 57:16.640] at it more like we both want to bill with your client. And let's see, you know, if we [57:16.640 --> 57:24.040] can get to the agreement. There's a couple of things I was wanting to mention, but I'll [57:24.040 --> 57:36.520] get those for now. Regarding my problem is that Brett's good advice on the notice of [57:36.520 --> 57:43.280] appeal being 10 days, I did not take. I went to the state law library and talked to somebody [57:43.280 --> 57:54.240] there and running the computers and helping me. And I guess I was misconstrued about how [57:54.240 --> 58:00.400] long does it take to get an appeal. So I sent in my notice of appeal this week at 17th day [58:00.400 --> 58:15.200] mark instead of the 10th day mark. How screwed am I? I think you're screwed. The judge is [58:15.200 --> 58:22.800] not going to allow it under the rules. But did you before that, did you give any kind [58:22.800 --> 58:29.640] of emotion for the judge to fix that bad ruling? Because if you did, you just bumped your deadline [58:29.640 --> 58:35.440] out to 90 days. I told her, I thought it wasn't constitutional and I wanted the transcript. [58:35.440 --> 58:45.360] I don't know if I'd count as a motion to reconsider, a motion to modify, correct or reform. We'll [58:45.360 --> 58:50.800] have to talk about that on the other side though. We'll be right back. Would you like [58:50.800 --> 58:56.200] to make more definite progress in your walk with God?

He announces, I'm with [01:00:53.120 --> 01:00:57.080] the military and I'm sleeping here tonight. That shocking image of a third party in my [01:00:57.080 --> 01:01:01.840] parents' bed reminds me what the Third Amendment was designed to prevent. It protects us from [01:01:01.840 --> 01:01:06.200] being forced to share our homes with soldiers, a common demand in the days of our founding [01:01:06.200 --> 01:01:11.040] fathers. Third party, Third Amendment? Get it? So if you answer a knock at your door [01:01:11.040 --> 01:01:15.080] and guys in fatigues demand lodging, tell them to dust off their copy of the Bill of [01:01:15.080 --> 01:01:19.960] Rights and reread the Third Amendment.

That imagery reminds me that the Fourth Amendment [01:02:24.400 --> 01:02:29.280] guarantees Americans freedom from unreasonable search and seizure. Fourth Amendment, four [01:02:29.280 --> 01:02:33.840] eyes staring at you, get it? Unfortunately, the government is trampling our Fourth Amendment [01:02:33.840 --> 01:02:39.240] rights in the name of security. Case in point, TSA airport scanners that peer under your [01:02:39.240 --> 01:02:43.960] clothing. When government employees demand a peep at your privates without probable cause, [01:02:43.960 --> 01:02:48.800] I say it's time to sound the constitutional alarm bells. Join me in asking our representatives [01:02:48.800 --> 01:02:53.560] to dust off the Bill of Rights and use their googly eyes to take a gander at the Fourth. [01:02:53.560 --> 01:03:20.560] I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht. More news and information at CatherineAlbrecht.com. [01:03:20.560 --> 01:03:48.760] Okay, we are back. Randy Kelton, Brett Fountain, We've Love Radio. We're talking to Mary in [01:03:48.760 --> 01:03:56.520] Texas. Mary, we got a board full of callers, another first time caller, and we're running [01:03:56.520 --> 01:04:02.800] out of time. Let's get to the point so we can move on down. [01:04:02.800 --> 01:04:09.280] So, can I get the judge? So, I'm going to appeal this, even though I put in a notice [01:04:09.280 --> 01:04:15.720] to appeal at seven days late. So, what are you all expecting is going to happen? I mean, [01:04:15.720 --> 01:04:20.880] I presented the document to the other party, certified mail, email, regular mail, and I [01:04:20.880 --> 01:04:30.640] produced it by hand at 100 Congress on my day off on Thursday. So, the document is delivered. [01:04:30.640 --> 01:04:37.440] Since you're doing this as practice, just run them through the system. When you file [01:04:37.440 --> 01:04:46.360] this, the court is going to refuse to hear your complaint because it's not timely. And [01:04:46.360 --> 01:04:53.520] then, because you didn't get timely response this time, then you file a timely response [01:04:53.520 --> 01:05:00.680] the next time, giving notice that you intend to appeal the Court of Appeals decision to [01:05:00.680 --> 01:05:08.080] the Supreme. Have you ever written a cert, a certiorari to the Supreme? [01:05:08.080 --> 01:05:11.720] No, and I could come up with an argument for anything. [01:05:11.720 --> 01:05:18.800] Yeah, so come up with an argument. Heck, you got nothing to lose? [01:05:18.800 --> 01:05:25.640] Well, but how long can I drag this out? Because they're going to want a hearing to dismiss [01:05:25.640 --> 01:05:30.720] this. I'm going to tell them I want extra time on the hearing because I'm working overtime [01:05:30.720 --> 01:05:32.920] as a public servant with the city. [01:05:32.920 --> 01:05:41.640] No, what's going to happen is the court will deny your appeal sui sponte. [01:05:41.640 --> 01:05:44.640] So, no hearing? [01:05:44.640 --> 01:05:45.640] No hearing. [01:05:45.640 --> 01:05:47.640] No, no fun. Okay. [01:05:47.640 --> 01:05:56.800] I know, but then you can appeal that ruling to the Supreme. And the Supreme won't hear [01:05:56.800 --> 01:06:06.720] it, but it's really good practice. And if you haven't done a cert to the Supreme, you [01:06:06.720 --> 01:06:13.760] need to do it once. You get a feel for how the structure, they have special rules for [01:06:13.760 --> 01:06:21.520] how to structure a cert, and I can walk you through that. You start out with a table of [01:06:21.520 --> 01:06:27.280] contents and then a table of authorities, and they have some special ways they want [01:06:27.280 --> 01:06:33.400] you to set it up with wide margins and all kinds of stuff. Do you do that once? [01:06:33.400 --> 01:06:39.960] So, is there any way that I can just go ahead and write the appeal without a notice of appeal? [01:06:39.960 --> 01:06:45.040] If the appeal needs to be written within 30 days, can I just throw a regular appeal in [01:06:45.040 --> 01:06:46.040] within 30 days? [01:06:46.040 --> 01:06:56.000] Well, you can't do it if they deny you in your appeal. No, you can't. But then you [01:06:56.000 --> 01:07:02.400] can appeal, you can file a notice of appeal of that ruling and then file your appeal with [01:07:02.400 --> 01:07:03.400] the Supreme. [01:07:03.400 --> 01:07:08.120] Well, how much work is the firm going to be doing against me on this? Or is it all in [01:07:08.120 --> 01:07:09.120] the judge's hand? [01:07:09.120 --> 01:07:12.680] Yeah, this is all in the judge's hand. [01:07:12.680 --> 01:07:21.640] Okay. Well, my backup to this is I'm going to go to the state bar and make them culpable [01:07:21.640 --> 01:07:32.000] for this loss because of lack of ease to access these courts and stuff like that as a citizen [01:07:32.000 --> 01:07:37.600] or to find an attorney on these type of cases for pro bono for a dangerous work environment. [01:07:37.600 --> 01:07:44.400] So, I'm thinking I might be able to pull in the state bar with some minimal evidence. [01:07:44.400 --> 01:07:53.280] The more you pull in the better. This is for practice. You got nothing to lose at this [01:07:53.280 --> 01:07:54.280] point. [01:07:54.280 --> 01:07:55.280] Right. [01:07:55.280 --> 01:08:00.000] So, use them for legal education. [01:08:00.000 --> 01:08:06.720] Well, how culpable do you all think in general the state of Texas and the Texas state bar [01:08:06.720 --> 01:08:13.800] is to provide equal access to the court for the poor or whatnot? [01:08:13.800 --> 01:08:21.560] Well, have you been granted indigent status? [01:08:21.560 --> 01:08:26.240] On this one I have. [01:08:26.240 --> 01:08:33.880] How culpable are they? I don't know how to answer that. That would have to go to things [01:08:33.880 --> 01:08:41.120] they have done. I really don't know how to answer that because they haven't really done [01:08:41.120 --> 01:08:42.120] anything. [01:08:42.120 --> 01:08:52.000] Okay. It's my thought that they are. And I do have some recordings and stuff of me reaching [01:08:52.000 --> 01:08:55.360] out to legal aid services and things like that. [01:08:55.360 --> 01:09:03.440] So what you're saying is that you're indigent and the state had a duty to provide you with [01:09:03.440 --> 01:09:10.400] resources so that you could have equal access. And their failure to do so is why you were [01:09:10.400 --> 01:09:16.000] unable to get a notice of appeal in a timely manner because you lacked counsel. [01:09:16.000 --> 01:09:17.000] Exactly. [01:09:17.000 --> 01:09:19.440] That's a good argument to make. [01:09:19.440 --> 01:09:25.520] Okay. Okay. Cool. Well, that's where I'm at. And I'm going to pass the bucket to the next [01:09:25.520 --> 01:09:33.120] guy. But there's definitely a few more questions I have on some of the other guys and stuff. [01:09:33.120 --> 01:09:41.640] But you know, Eric, look at that city manager. Look at that public policy, stuff like that. [01:09:41.640 --> 01:09:45.640] And call me tomorrow. We'll discuss those other issues, Mary. [01:09:45.640 --> 01:09:49.520] Yeah. Yeah. Everything's good. I appreciate you guys. [01:09:49.520 --> 01:09:51.640] Okay. Thank you, Mary. [01:09:51.640 --> 01:09:57.960] Okay. I see Chris from Colorado and EJ in California. I know you've been holding a long [01:09:57.960 --> 01:10:04.200] time, but we have another first time caller and I hope you guys will be patient with us. [01:10:04.200 --> 01:10:13.840] I'll try to move this along so we'll get to you. We're going to someone in the 207 area [01:10:13.840 --> 01:10:27.880] code. Give us a first name and a state. Hello, are you? Oh, hold on. Okay. Now you're unmuted. [01:10:27.880 --> 01:10:30.920] Okay. If you're in the 207 area code, talk to us. [01:10:30.920 --> 01:10:36.280] Hi. Can you hear me? Yes, I can. First name and state. [01:10:36.280 --> 01:10:42.880] Laura and I'm in Maine. Laura in Maine. Okay. What do you have for [01:10:42.880 --> 01:10:47.800] us today? Well, I am starting to challenge property [01:10:47.800 --> 01:10:57.720] taxes. And I did a record request to the assessor asking him questions about how much property [01:10:57.720 --> 01:11:06.680] got into the commercial status, which it isn't. It's just my private property. And they sent [01:11:06.680 --> 01:11:14.680] me a letter back saying that they're denying the request because they do not have the information [01:11:14.680 --> 01:11:19.840] I'm looking for. That's different. They're two different. They [01:11:19.840 --> 01:11:27.120] can deny a request. That's, we're not going to answer you, but we don't have records is [01:11:27.120 --> 01:11:33.240] a legitimate answer. So it's not a denial. That's a, we don't have those records. So [01:11:33.240 --> 01:11:39.240] that's a... What question, what specifically did you ask [01:11:39.240 --> 01:11:48.840] for? I specifically asked for a record of the statutory [01:11:48.840 --> 01:12:00.880] process that they relied on to add my private non-commercial property to the tax roll, a [01:12:00.880 --> 01:12:05.440] copy of the returns that were filed on my private non-commercial property. [01:12:05.440 --> 01:12:10.280] Wait, returns, returns. What does returns mean? [01:12:10.280 --> 01:12:17.480] Well, if you, if you file, if you pay taxes, there's supposed to be a return. Like I'm [01:12:17.480 --> 01:12:23.640] supposed to turn them in, supposedly. Yeah, but that's all. Government entities [01:12:23.640 --> 01:12:31.800] don't have returns. Only employees of the government have returns. [01:12:31.800 --> 01:12:38.680] I think they do. For property taxes, they do have something called a return in Pennsylvania [01:12:38.680 --> 01:12:47.400] where the one who, right, the one who is assessing the property needs to fill this in. I think [01:12:47.400 --> 01:12:58.560] and say, here's how much, it's kind of parallel to in income tax when somebody files the yearly [01:12:58.560 --> 01:13:05.520] return saying, I promise I owe you this much. And they line that up with what the employer [01:13:05.520 --> 01:13:13.040] said that you were, what income you received. But this is with property. In Pennsylvania [01:13:13.040 --> 01:13:18.440] they have something that's called returns. It's supposed to be done. They skip it, but [01:13:18.440 --> 01:13:23.640] I don't know how pervasive that is everywhere. Do they have that in Maine, Laura? [01:13:23.640 --> 01:13:32.000] Yes, I did. I did read that. I didn't have to find it, but I knew. [01:13:32.000 --> 01:13:45.320] What does your open records act in Maine say about a violation of the act? The reason [01:13:45.320 --> 01:13:55.560] I ask the question that way is in Texas, the open records act is not a civil statute. It's [01:13:55.560 --> 01:14:05.680] a criminal statute. A violation of the act under 552 point, was it 353? A violation of [01:14:05.680 --> 01:14:14.680] this act is a official misconduct. It's not class A misdemeanor. It's a class A misdemeanor. [01:14:14.680 --> 01:14:21.040] It's a criminal statute. Is it a criminal statute in Maine? I'm going to suggest that [01:14:21.040 --> 01:14:29.320] it is. I would have to set up. So if they lied to you, if there is a return [01:14:29.320 --> 01:14:34.640] and they told you they had no records responsive to your request, they violated the act and [01:14:34.640 --> 01:14:38.640] that's criminal. Okay. [01:14:38.640 --> 01:14:44.440] Then you make up a criminal accusation of accusing them of violating the act and you [01:14:44.440 --> 01:14:55.400] file that with some magistrate. Now, what does the law say in Maine about filing criminal [01:14:55.400 --> 01:15:00.440] complaints? I haven't gotten that far yet. [01:15:00.440 --> 01:15:09.320] Okay. Look up magistrates. Magistrate is a term that's pretty well ambiguous across the [01:15:09.320 --> 01:15:18.240] United States. You have judges and all judges generally are magistrates. Sometimes they [01:15:18.240 --> 01:15:25.920] have magistrates that are not judges, but for the most part, a magistrate is someone [01:15:25.920 --> 01:15:31.760] to whom crime is reported. Okay. [01:15:31.760 --> 01:15:44.400] So look up magistrates in Maine and look up Maine duties of magistrates. In Texas and [01:15:44.400 --> 01:15:53.080] in most states, it is the duty of the magistrate to hear criminal complaints and make a determination [01:15:53.080 --> 01:16:01.740] of probable cause. The way the system works is the complaint is not presented to the court [01:16:01.740 --> 01:16:10.200] of jurisdiction. The complaint is presented to a magistrate and the magistrate looks at [01:16:10.200 --> 01:16:17.720] the complaint and determines if there is sufficient probable cause to believe that a crime has [01:16:17.720 --> 01:16:22.840] been committed and the named individual has committed that crime and the magistrate will [01:16:22.840 --> 01:16:29.520] decide whether or not they have to stand and answer. So when you give your complaint to [01:16:29.520 --> 01:16:36.440] a magistrate, it's their duty to make a determination of probable cause. Look that up in Maine. [01:16:36.440 --> 01:16:45.280] We're about to go to our sponsors, but this goes through the details of how this is done [01:16:45.280 --> 01:16:52.480] and it's in the details where we get to beat them up big time.

Without the shows on this network, [01:18:02.800 --> 01:18:06.760] I'd be almost as ignorant as my friends. I'm so addicted to the truth now that there's [01:18:06.760 --> 01:18:12.000] no going back. I need my truth fix. I'd be lost without logos and I really want to help [01:18:12.000 --> 01:18:15.560] keep this network on the air. I'd love to volunteer as a show producer but I'm a bit [01:18:15.560 --> 01:18:20.560] of a Luddite and I really don't have any money to give because I spent it all on supplements. [01:18:20.560 --> 01:18:26.160] How can I help logos? Well, I'm glad you asked. Whenever you order anything from Amazon, you [01:18:26.160 --> 01:18:30.800] can help logos in ordering your supplies or holiday gifts. First thing you do is clear [01:18:30.800 --> 01:18:38.360] your cookies. Now, go to logosradio.com. Click on the Amazon logo and bookmark it. Now, when [01:18:38.360 --> 01:18:43.960] you order anything from Amazon, you use that link and logos gets a few pesos. Do I pay [01:18:43.960 --> 01:18:49.440] extra? No. Do you have to do anything different when I order? No. Can I use my Amazon Prime? [01:18:49.440 --> 01:18:55.440] No. I mean, yes. Wow. Giving without doing anything or spending any money. This is perfect. [01:18:55.440 --> 01:19:14.360] Thank you so much. We are welcome. Happy holidays, logos. [01:19:25.440 --> 01:19:48.440] If I can't get everything I want, maybe get a rain chair. If I can't get everything I [01:19:48.440 --> 01:20:02.440] need, maybe get a rain chair. If the people of the world can't get happiness and peace, [01:20:02.440 --> 01:20:19.440] maybe get a rain chair. If we can't get all these places we want to see, maybe get a rain [01:20:19.440 --> 01:20:20.440] chair. [01:20:20.440 --> 01:20:21.440] Okay. We are back. This is the Rule of Law Radio, Lorraine DeChelten. I'm Brett Fountain, [01:20:21.440 --> 01:20:24.440] and we are talking with Laura in Maine. [01:20:24.440 --> 01:20:25.440] Hi. [01:20:25.440 --> 01:20:37.440] Alright, Laura. Go ahead. My next question was, aside from what you just told me to do [01:20:37.440 --> 01:20:45.320] with the magistrate, I had record requested the assessor, but I heard back from the clerk, [01:20:45.320 --> 01:20:49.440] and I'm wondering why I'm hearing back from the clerk. [01:20:49.440 --> 01:20:55.000] Well, that's okay. When you do a record request, you don't have to worry too much about who [01:20:55.000 --> 01:21:01.280] answers you. If you get an answer that you're okay with, don't worry about it. If you get [01:21:01.280 --> 01:21:08.040] an answer that looks like pushback, then you can take it up with the one who had the responsibility [01:21:08.040 --> 01:21:17.400] to answer you in the first place, and you can kind of disregard the impertinent kid [01:21:17.400 --> 01:21:22.600] that answered. You know what I mean? You can just not give them the time of day, and go [01:21:22.600 --> 01:21:29.600] back to the one who had the duty to answer you, and treat them like you need to stamp [01:21:29.600 --> 01:21:30.600] them into shape. [01:21:30.600 --> 01:21:40.120] Yeah. Let me address this slightly. In Texas, you will have a custodian of the record. If [01:21:40.120 --> 01:21:46.760] you file an information request with the wrong person, the person who is not the custodian [01:21:46.760 --> 01:21:55.720] of the record, the person with whom you file the request is required by the act to forward [01:21:55.720 --> 01:22:02.520] the request to the person who is the custodian. [01:22:02.520 --> 01:22:07.200] The one you file it with may be the wrong guy, because you don't know how all that governmental [01:22:07.200 --> 01:22:13.760] stuff works. To handle that, that guy can't say, well, I don't have these records. You [01:22:13.760 --> 01:22:19.400] send it to the wrong person. No, no, no. They don't get to do that. They got to figure out [01:22:19.400 --> 01:22:25.800] who the right guy is, or girl is, and send it to that person. That's why you may get [01:22:25.800 --> 01:22:28.120] a different answer. Does that make sense? [01:22:28.120 --> 01:22:38.840] Yes, it does. My other question is, since they do not have, or the information I'm requesting [01:22:38.840 --> 01:22:47.840] doesn't exist, where do I go from here? Do I sit and wait for them to lien my property, [01:22:47.840 --> 01:22:50.880] or do I ask more questions? [01:22:50.880 --> 01:22:57.920] It depends on the nature of the information you're asking for. If it's information that [01:22:57.920 --> 01:23:06.440] must exist, and you have asked for records that this particular agency doesn't specifically [01:23:06.440 --> 01:23:13.640] have, then under most open records laws, they're going to be required to forward your request [01:23:13.640 --> 01:23:22.440] to the people who do have it. That's because you can't be expected to know the inner workings [01:23:22.440 --> 01:23:28.480] of the agency. They have to know the inner workings of the agency. [01:23:28.480 --> 01:23:37.360] If you get back something from a clerk, and it seems to be responding to your request, [01:23:37.360 --> 01:23:44.040] well, that's fine, because the person, let's say you reached out to your elected official, [01:23:44.040 --> 01:23:50.400] the one who has a duty to respond, and you get back something from some assistant that's [01:23:50.400 --> 01:23:59.960] a high school, half-time helper, that's fine, because the person who has a duty to respond [01:23:59.960 --> 01:24:03.920] very well may have hired somebody specifically to help with the duties, and that's okay. [01:24:03.920 --> 01:24:08.960] They might have hired a whole team of people, no problem, as long as you got your response. [01:24:08.960 --> 01:24:14.760] If you didn't get your response, or if you're getting pushback, that's when you need to [01:24:14.760 --> 01:24:16.240] take it to the next level. [01:24:16.240 --> 01:24:24.160] And if the response is not correct, the person who had a duty to respond becomes respondee [01:24:24.160 --> 01:24:31.200] yet superior, so they're responsible for what their underlings do. [01:24:31.200 --> 01:24:38.000] Okay, but back to your other issue. We're getting to talk about records requests here [01:24:38.000 --> 01:24:44.840] some, but let's go back to talk about your property tags. I'm getting some input here [01:24:44.840 --> 01:24:51.840] from somebody who's in Pennsylvania and who has some references that you might be able [01:24:51.840 --> 01:24:59.920] to look up and correlate for Maine, and it's very interesting talking about who has this [01:24:59.920 --> 01:25:07.720] real property. You know, you were talking about the return, or in some places it might [01:25:07.720 --> 01:25:13.480] be a rendering or rendition that needs to go from the person who's running a business [01:25:13.480 --> 01:25:20.120] on that property needs to tell the state comptroller or state needs to tell some official about [01:25:20.120 --> 01:25:27.440] the business and the income of the property. Well, in Pennsylvania code here, I'm being [01:25:27.440 --> 01:25:38.400] shown section 153.1 taxpayer and 155.1 taxpayers, and it's giving us a pretty clear picture [01:25:38.400 --> 01:25:44.080] here that shows who it is that's references that's referenced for these property taxes [01:25:44.080 --> 01:25:50.680] and it's all about corporations, businesses. So you might look for something like that [01:25:50.680 --> 01:26:00.400] in Maine. Look at Pennsylvania code 153.1 and 155.1 and then check out what Maine has [01:26:00.400 --> 01:26:06.400] that might be parallel to that and you might find the answer to your property tax questions [01:26:06.400 --> 01:26:18.240] there. I have a complaint, Brett. Yes. How the heck do you do that? What do I do? How [01:26:18.240 --> 01:26:24.360] do you answer somebody's question and research at the same time? No, I didn't. Somebody reached [01:26:24.360 --> 01:26:31.440] out to me and told me this. Oh, I can't do that. He's doing that. He's coming up with [01:26:31.440 --> 01:26:36.640] the underlying codes. Well, usually I have to go Google for it, but this one came to [01:26:36.640 --> 01:26:46.880] me. Well, I can't talk and Google at the same time. Making me feel old. Okay. I'll quit [01:26:46.880 --> 01:26:58.560] sidetracking. No, but that's it. Okay. Does that answer your question? Kind of. I know [01:26:58.560 --> 01:27:05.080] the definitions of a taxpayer and what they tax here as property and I have no business [01:27:05.080 --> 01:27:13.480] conducting on the property. Right. I just want to get off the tax roll. So do I have [01:27:13.480 --> 01:27:21.680] to keep asking them more questions or? Getting off the tax roll seems to be quite a pain. [01:27:21.680 --> 01:27:29.880] They really don't want you to do that. There's kind of a general way of doing that. You send [01:27:29.880 --> 01:27:38.800] a letter to the tax assessor collector and ask the tax assessor collector if the state [01:27:38.800 --> 01:27:50.040] has a claim against your property. If your taxes are current, they'll send you a letter [01:27:50.040 --> 01:27:56.160] saying that the state has no claim against your property. Then you send a second letter [01:27:56.160 --> 01:28:05.240] asking the tax assessor to remove your property from the commercial rolls to the private rolls. [01:28:05.240 --> 01:28:15.080] Okay. That's the way I've heard it done in a number of places. You might try that. I [01:28:15.080 --> 01:28:21.960] will try that. Thank you so much. Okay. Do you have anything else for us today? [01:28:21.960 --> 01:28:34.120] No, that's it. I appreciate it. Thank you. Okay. Thank you very much, Laura. [01:28:34.120 --> 01:28:52.680] Randy, are you muted? Yes, I am. We have another first time caller, but [01:28:52.680 --> 01:29:01.120] we have two folks that's been on since the beginning of the show. John, I think that's [01:29:01.120 --> 01:29:08.400] what this is. We're in 615. Be patient with me. Chris has waited for three hours, so I'm [01:29:08.400 --> 01:29:13.080] going to go ahead and take Chris. Hello, Chris. What do you have for us today? Quickly, we've [01:29:13.080 --> 01:29:21.200] got about 40 seconds. Did you fall asleep, Chris? [01:29:21.200 --> 01:29:29.520] Hello, Chris. I'm getting close. I wanted to touch upon [01:29:29.520 --> 01:29:33.280] declaratory judgment. This has been a pretty fascinating topic, but we're getting late [01:29:33.280 --> 01:29:38.720] in the night, so I'll ask a quick question, I guess, on the other side here about it. [01:29:38.720 --> 01:29:49.120] Okay. You've just got 20 seconds, so you've got 15 seconds to handle your whole issue. [01:29:49.120 --> 01:30:01.600] Maybe not. Okay. Randy Kelton, we look for our radio. Hang on. We'll be right back. [01:30:01.600 --> 01:30:07.000] A top cybersecurity expert has a warning for America. If you build an electrical smart [01:30:07.000 --> 01:30:12.560] grid, the hackers will come, and they could cause a catastrophic blackout. I'm Dr. Catherine [01:30:12.560 --> 01:30:16.480] Albrecht, back with the shocking details in a moment. [01:30:16.480 --> 01:30:21.000] Privacy is under attack. When you give up data about yourself, you'll never get it back [01:30:21.000 --> 01:30:27.320] again. Once your privacy is gone, you'll find your freedoms will start to vanish, too. Protect [01:30:27.320 --> 01:30:33.040] your rights. Say no to surveillance, and keep your information to yourself. Privacy, it's [01:30:33.040 --> 01:30:38.360] worth hanging on to. This message is brought to you by StartPage.com, the private search [01:30:38.360 --> 01:30:46.040] engine alternative to Google, Yahoo, and Bing. Start over with StartPage. [01:30:46.040 --> 01:30:50.160] Hackers love power, so it's only natural they'd want to control the power going into your [01:30:50.160 --> 01:30:55.800] home, too, with a smart grid. So they're installing a national network of smart meters to remotely [01:30:55.800 --> 01:31:01.440] monitor electric use for efficiency and avoid grid failure. But cybersecurity expert David [01:31:01.440 --> 01:31:07.000] Chalk says not so fast. If we make the national power grid controllable through the web, hackers [01:31:07.000 --> 01:31:12.800] will have a field day. Working remotely, they could tap in and blackout the entire nation, [01:31:12.800 --> 01:31:17.840] leaving us vulnerable to our enemies. I've long opposed smart meters for privacy and [01:31:17.840 --> 01:31:23.000] health reasons. The catastrophic failures caused by hackers? There's nothing smart about [01:31:23.000 --> 01:31:31.600] that. I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht for StartPage.com, the world's most private search engine. [01:31:31.600 --> 01:31:36.960] This is Building 7, a 47-story skyscraper that fell on the afternoon of September 11. [01:31:36.960 --> 01:31:42.360] The government says that fire brought it down. However, 1,500 architects and engineers concluded [01:31:42.360 --> 01:31:46.280] it was a controlled demolition. Over 6,000 of my fellow service members have given their [01:31:46.280 --> 01:31:50.800] lives. And thousands of my fellow first responders are dying. I'm not a conspiracy theorist.

If we, the people, [01:32:09.240 --> 01:32:12.760] are ever going to have a free society, then we're going to have to stand and defend our [01:32:12.760 --> 01:32:16.560] own rights. Among those rights are the right to travel freely from place to place, the [01:32:16.560 --> 01:32:20.120] right to act in our own private capacity, and most importantly, the right to due process [01:32:20.120 --> 01:32:24.360] of law. Traffic courts afford us the least expensive opportunity to learn how to enforce [01:32:24.360 --> 01:32:28.640] and preserve our rights through due process.

[01:33:00.800 --> 01:33:07.800] You are listening to the Logos Radio Network, logosradionetwork.com. [01:33:30.800 --> 01:33:39.800] Okay, we are back. Randy Kelton, Brett Fountain, Rule of Law Radio. We're talking to Chris [01:33:39.800 --> 01:33:44.720] Conrato. Okay, Chris, what are you up to? [01:33:44.720 --> 01:33:49.400] So you guys may have remembered me calling in the night that I got in the wreck last [01:33:49.400 --> 01:33:53.160] year from the hospital parking lot, and- [01:33:53.160 --> 01:33:56.080] Yes, I do, as a matter of fact. [01:33:56.080 --> 01:34:03.440] Okay. So I went through the mill, and I found the agency that oversees them, and I filed [01:34:03.440 --> 01:34:09.880] a complaint, and they finally got back to me by telephone. And I submitted all the video [01:34:09.880 --> 01:34:14.520] and everything, and they said, we're just letting you know that we did a query, so to [01:34:14.520 --> 01:34:19.840] speak, and we did find that there is deficits in their procedure. So I probed more, because [01:34:19.840 --> 01:34:25.920] I was real coded language. I said, what exactly does that mean? Did they violate something [01:34:25.920 --> 01:34:34.240] or did they violate the EMTALA Act? And they said, yes. The EMTALA is the emergency medical [01:34:34.240 --> 01:34:39.680] something treatment. It basically says that it's a federal act that no hospital can deny [01:34:39.680 --> 01:34:44.680] anybody emergency service without first stabilizing them. [01:34:44.680 --> 01:34:51.960] So I've got an official claim. The thing is, is that a lot of us, I've talked to a few [01:34:51.960 --> 01:34:58.400] lawyers, and for some reason, Wyoming lawyers aren't real aggressive, unless you're a personal [01:34:58.400 --> 01:35:04.760] injury issue. So I want to file declaratory judgment, and I want to file- [01:35:04.760 --> 01:35:09.960] Wait, wait, wait, wait. The lawyers are not aggressive on personal injury issues? [01:35:09.960 --> 01:35:15.880] No, that's the only thing they're aggressive in Illinois. I mean, in Wyoming, where this [01:35:15.880 --> 01:35:19.520] happened. I've called a bunch, and they said, well, what are your damages from the hospital? [01:35:19.520 --> 01:35:24.320] I said, well, that's what I'm calling you to help determine. They just, they don't think [01:35:24.320 --> 01:35:31.800] too far outside the box. So I guess you said a bunch of stuff tonight, and they violated, [01:35:31.800 --> 01:35:38.160] they broke a wall, they broke a federal act. I'm trying to find out damages and stuff for [01:35:38.160 --> 01:35:44.760] that or punitive things, but I don't- Well, consider, are you the only person against [01:35:44.760 --> 01:35:50.920] whom they violated the act? Probably not, no. [01:35:50.920 --> 01:35:58.800] So if that's the case, then you might look at a private attorney general type suit. And [01:35:58.800 --> 01:36:08.040] how much would you have to claim against them to give the hospital reasonable cause to not [01:36:08.040 --> 01:36:19.160] do this to anybody else? Exactly. The thing is that you have lawyers [01:36:19.160 --> 01:36:23.400] and officials who don't even know their own laws. So how the heck can I rely on them? [01:36:23.400 --> 01:36:31.400] I have to figure it out, which I'm willing to do, but it's like pushing against the grass [01:36:31.400 --> 01:36:36.400] that got too high, so to speak. So I don't know quite how to proceed, but here's what [01:36:36.400 --> 01:36:39.480] they did leave me with. I said, can I get a copy of that report? They said, no, the [01:36:39.480 --> 01:36:43.280] only way to get a copy of this is to have it subpoenaed. So- [01:36:43.280 --> 01:36:48.120] Wait a minute, hold on, hold on. Yeah. [01:36:48.120 --> 01:36:54.280] Who issued the report? So the health department is the one who oversees [01:36:54.280 --> 01:36:59.160] the hospitals in Wyoming, but they get their authority from the centers for Medicare and [01:36:59.160 --> 01:37:03.680] Medicaid, CMS. What was the nature of the report? Was the [01:37:03.680 --> 01:37:14.120] report a report that focused on you personally? No, it was, they did an unannounced investigation [01:37:14.120 --> 01:37:17.400] essentially. They used other words, but that's basically what they did. They did an unannounced [01:37:17.400 --> 01:37:24.120] investigation. They looked into my complaint specifically and they cited the hospital, [01:37:24.120 --> 01:37:29.360] but they can't personally find them. So this is getting kicked up to the CMS, which is [01:37:29.360 --> 01:37:40.560] a regional federal thing. What law makes their report secret? [01:37:40.560 --> 01:37:46.320] Don't know. You need to ask them for that. [01:37:46.320 --> 01:37:55.320] Yeah, I'm asking- Is there a chance they're blowing smoke? [01:37:55.320 --> 01:38:00.040] There's a chance there's some incompetence for sure. [01:38:00.040 --> 01:38:11.080] Well, incompetence or intentional denial of this so that they can avoid getting caught [01:38:11.080 --> 01:38:17.080] up in a civil litigation that they don't want to have to bother with. [01:38:17.080 --> 01:38:24.760] Possibly. Well, but it's the health department. They just look into it and they report back [01:38:24.760 --> 01:38:29.840] to I think this other agency, the CMS, but they did call to let me know that there was [01:38:29.840 --> 01:38:35.760] a problem and that the hospital has been notified in their order to take measures. Well, that [01:38:35.760 --> 01:38:40.280] doesn't- Okay, hold on. There's an issue here. They're [01:38:40.280 --> 01:38:50.160] saying this is not public information, but since you are the object of the investigation, [01:38:50.160 --> 01:38:58.000] you have a special interest and generally there are provisions for someone with a special [01:38:58.000 --> 01:39:06.960] interest. Now, I might not be able to get it, but you were specifically injured by it. [01:39:06.960 --> 01:39:13.040] I think they're applying a law that goes to the general public where it doesn't apply [01:39:13.040 --> 01:39:23.600] to you. You might check that. Okay. So when we get things like this, Randy, [01:39:23.600 --> 01:39:27.320] I've been running into this hurdle in two states now. Well, this one just started this [01:39:27.320 --> 01:39:33.160] week because I just got the findings or notice of the finding. Now we have something from [01:39:33.160 --> 01:39:37.640] a regulatory body, essentially. I got a subpoena this one or I got to get it through other [01:39:37.640 --> 01:39:42.480] means, but I do have, now I have a claim. And then we bring it into court and we try [01:39:42.480 --> 01:39:48.240] to make a tort against that claim. And then the court says, well, you didn't see it exactly [01:39:48.240 --> 01:39:52.120] the way I want it. Okay, hold on, hold on. Before we move past [01:39:52.120 --> 01:40:03.800] this and I lose it, do you have access to pre-litigation discovery? Just make a note [01:40:03.800 --> 01:40:11.640] of pre-litigation discovery. They have this information and this information could relate [01:40:11.640 --> 01:40:18.200] to a civil suit that you would be filing. You should have a right to pre-litigation [01:40:18.200 --> 01:40:23.800] discovery. Just make a note of that and then look it up in the state that you're in. [01:40:23.800 --> 01:40:35.640] Okay. That was part of my question tied to the declaratory judgment. When you file a [01:40:35.640 --> 01:40:42.920] declaratory judgment suit, does it open things to discovery? Absolutely. And that's a great [01:40:42.920 --> 01:40:48.080] thing about declaratory judgment. You file a civil suit, the first thing they do is rule [01:40:48.080 --> 01:40:53.240] 12b6, motion to dismiss, frame the state of claim, but that's because they do not want [01:40:53.240 --> 01:41:00.640] to get to discovery. Declaratory judgment does not have claims. So you should be able [01:41:00.640 --> 01:41:07.280] to go directly to discovery. Get the discovery and then come back and sue them in a standard [01:41:07.280 --> 01:41:18.000] civil case where you already got the discovery. Okay. I'll look into what you said about being [01:41:18.000 --> 01:41:26.960] entitled to discovery up front and then I'll look into this. Put down pre-litigation discovery. [01:41:26.960 --> 01:41:34.880] Pre-litigation discovery. Got it. Okay. I'll look that up. Wyoming's kind of fun in some [01:41:34.880 --> 01:41:40.840] ways, meaning that unlike Illinois, they don't have all these laws and opinions and case [01:41:40.840 --> 01:41:45.880] law twisting in one another. They have some pretty vague stuff and it leaves it up to [01:41:45.880 --> 01:41:51.400] argument amongst the parties, which I successfully did with the property damage for the truck [01:41:51.400 --> 01:41:56.840] we were in. But now I'm up against the bodily injury stuff and I'm getting to the end of [01:41:56.840 --> 01:42:03.120] my bank account here after almost a year and I pushed the insurance company. I said, look, [01:42:03.120 --> 01:42:08.120] you know you have to settle at some point, but we need a little funds at this point to [01:42:08.120 --> 01:42:15.320] get some treatment. And they just basically told me, go screw yourself politely. We're [01:42:15.320 --> 01:42:18.320] not talking to you. And they've been ignoring me. They haven't been turning phone calls. [01:42:18.320 --> 01:42:24.520] So I wanted to do another declaratory judgment to get the court to say, well, here's the [01:42:24.520 --> 01:42:29.520] rights and there are no laws that say one way or the other and therefore it's open to [01:42:29.520 --> 01:42:33.400] negotiations or something. I don't know how to proceed there, but they're making claims [01:42:33.400 --> 01:42:40.560] legally that there's no law for. And I have a right to ask them for what, on what basis, [01:42:40.560 --> 01:42:47.360] what law, what case law are you using to deny me our negotiation? And he just says I'm under [01:42:47.360 --> 01:42:53.320] no obligation to talk to you. You will file a claim and we'll talk, but until then I don't [01:42:53.320 --> 01:42:56.640] have to talk to you. And that's pretty much what he said, but that's- [01:42:56.640 --> 01:43:01.440] Okay. Look at pre-litigation discovery. That may force him to talk to you before you file [01:43:01.440 --> 01:43:07.160] a claim. Okay. That's exactly what pre-litigation discovery [01:43:07.160 --> 01:43:14.120] is for. Okay. To discover if you actually have a claim [01:43:14.120 --> 01:43:24.040] before you enter into full-on litigation. Okay. And that's also what a declaratory judgment [01:43:24.040 --> 01:43:30.640] can achieve as well, yes? Yes. Declaratory judgment can get you into discovery [01:43:30.640 --> 01:43:42.200] if you carefully craft the declaratory judgment request so that it makes the discovery you [01:43:42.200 --> 01:43:48.480] want to secure pertinent or relevant to the issue. [01:43:48.480 --> 01:43:54.200] Okay. I'll look up on the term you told me and I'll talk to you guys another time. Thank [01:43:54.200 --> 01:44:00.600] you very much. Okay. Thank you, Chris. Okay.

[01:46:57.560 --> 01:47:17.080] Okay, we are back. Randy Calton. We're at Fountain Rule Law Radio. We have two callers [01:47:17.080 --> 01:47:24.160] in one segment. E.J., you've been on a long time, and we have a new first-time caller. [01:47:24.160 --> 01:47:30.200] So I really want to get to both of you. So, E.J., you're generally pretty succinct into [01:47:30.200 --> 01:47:34.000] the point. What do you have for us today? [01:47:34.000 --> 01:47:47.400] Hi. Good evening. My first question would be interrogatories, a deposition coming up [01:47:47.400 --> 01:47:58.320] that the hospital shysters sent me again. My summary judgment is up in August 1st. So [01:47:58.320 --> 01:48:02.760] what's happening is that they want all these answers within 30 days. [01:48:02.760 --> 01:48:08.320] Oh, object, object, object, object. You have summary judgment. Subject judgment would render [01:48:08.320 --> 01:48:15.960] all of this moot. So it's improper to force you to do discovery when you have a summary [01:48:15.960 --> 01:48:18.320] judgment motion before the court. [01:48:18.320 --> 01:48:27.400] Okay. I would put that in the, it's called a form that we need to submit before the continuance [01:48:27.400 --> 01:48:36.760] of the status conference. It's just, it's something that we need to talk about with [01:48:36.760 --> 01:48:44.080] any discovery items. So I'll put that in there. Do I need to file a notice on that? [01:48:44.080 --> 01:48:51.080] You can file a motion in abatement. Ask the court to abate all discovery until the summary [01:48:51.080 --> 01:48:57.200] judgment motion is heard in the interest of judicial economy. [01:48:57.200 --> 01:49:06.800] Okay. I think last time we were saying that the abatement is not really necessary because [01:49:06.800 --> 01:49:10.640] if I do file a motion for abatement, that would be like towards the end of the year [01:49:10.640 --> 01:49:14.640] probably. Like all the schedules are just jam packed. [01:49:14.640 --> 01:49:20.520] Okay. You're probably right. An abatement is probably not necessary. If the other side [01:49:20.520 --> 01:49:27.840] has asked for discovery, you can just tell them go screw themselves and let the clock [01:49:27.840 --> 01:49:36.000] run. And then what they'll have to do is petition the court for a court order to order discovery. [01:49:36.000 --> 01:49:42.240] And by the time they get to that, the summary judgment motion will already have been heard. [01:49:42.240 --> 01:49:48.880] Even the deposition, because the deposition would be towards the end of July, actually. [01:49:48.880 --> 01:49:57.920] Okay. If this is discovery and not court, if this is discovery from the other party [01:49:57.920 --> 01:50:01.280] and not court ordered discovery. Correct. [01:50:01.280 --> 01:50:06.320] Okay. So if they've just requested it, Tom goes screw themselves. [01:50:06.320 --> 01:50:14.680] Yeah. In the language of objecting. You look at the rules of procedure, it'll say that [01:50:14.680 --> 01:50:20.840] the respondent has to answer within X number of days, but it will also say that you can [01:50:20.840 --> 01:50:22.840] object. [01:50:22.840 --> 01:50:32.080] Okay. Yes. So object to it as potentially moot because [01:50:32.080 --> 01:50:41.280] you have a dispositive motion before the court. And in the interest of judicial economy, the [01:50:41.280 --> 01:50:50.160] court should abate any discovery until the summary judgment motion has been heard. That [01:50:50.160 --> 01:50:53.640] should be easy. [01:50:53.640 --> 01:51:04.560] And I had my hearing for the misdemeanor case and I got run over. Of course, he just totally, [01:51:04.560 --> 01:51:15.280] he meaning the judge, just put a plea of not guilty. And he scheduled a jury trial in 30 [01:51:15.280 --> 01:51:23.720] days. It's a speedy trial to put a public defender on my case. And guess when the trial [01:51:23.720 --> 01:51:30.680] date is? August 1st. Does he all know what's happening with my civil case? And even when [01:51:30.680 --> 01:51:36.160] I try to get a certified copy of the case file. [01:51:36.160 --> 01:51:46.080] Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Send me an email and ask me for the speedy trial motion. [01:51:46.080 --> 01:51:50.760] I just finished a brief on speedy trial. [01:51:50.760 --> 01:51:59.520] Awesome. Awesome. Yeah. Oh, it's just, they all know what's happening. So they're trying [01:51:59.520 --> 01:52:07.200] to, you know, prevent me from... I just have to laugh, you know? Even though I'm a little [01:52:07.200 --> 01:52:12.960] bit scared about this misdemeanor, I'm actually really kind of scared, but then I'm laughing [01:52:12.960 --> 01:52:20.480] about it. But my good question, I'll be very brief. I know you have a second caller. Okay, [01:52:20.480 --> 01:52:28.520] so informopapyrus, if I put in an informopapyrus for my misdemeanor, does that mean that they [01:52:28.520 --> 01:52:30.600] have jurisdiction over me? [01:52:30.600 --> 01:52:39.320] Oh, no, no, no. You cannot grant jurisdiction, period. They either have it or they don't. [01:52:39.320 --> 01:52:40.320] Got it. [01:52:40.320 --> 01:52:51.800] In spite of what these patriarch mythologists say, you can assume jurisdiction, but if you [01:52:51.800 --> 01:52:55.880] challenge jurisdiction, it doesn't matter, you cannot give them jurisdiction that they [01:52:55.880 --> 01:53:02.960] don't have. So you can challenge jurisdiction at any time, no matter how remote in history. [01:53:02.960 --> 01:53:10.040] Yeah. So don't worry about giving them jurisdiction. That can't happen. Hey, do you want me to [01:53:10.040 --> 01:53:17.200] be the judge in your court? Yeah, grant me jurisdiction to be the judge. [01:53:17.200 --> 01:53:19.240] Oh, wow. [01:53:19.240 --> 01:53:20.800] See how that works? [01:53:20.800 --> 01:53:27.960] Okay, these are my questions. Thank you so much, you guys. Thank you. [01:53:27.960 --> 01:53:36.880] Okay, thank you, EJ, and thank you for the patience waiting for us to get to you. Okay, [01:53:36.880 --> 01:53:47.240] now we're going to first time caller 615 area code. Give us a first name and state. [01:53:47.240 --> 01:53:52.000] Hey, it's John, Tennessee. [01:53:52.000 --> 01:53:59.680] Wait a minute. Tennessee, are you a hillbilly? [01:53:59.680 --> 01:54:00.680] I don't want to answer that. [01:54:00.680 --> 01:54:06.520] That's okay. That's okay, because I'm from Tennessee and I speak the dialect. [01:54:06.520 --> 01:54:17.440] Okay, 615, I'm from 731. What part of Tennessee? [01:54:17.440 --> 01:54:19.440] Nashville area? [01:54:19.440 --> 01:54:27.280] Yes, but actually, that's where I'm at, but it concerns a municipality in Texas. I'd rather [01:54:27.280 --> 01:54:32.680] not mention it for fear of someone retaliating or something. [01:54:32.680 --> 01:54:39.280] No, no, no, no. Mention it. It embarrasses them. [01:54:39.280 --> 01:54:43.520] I'm not prepared. I'm a little unprepared for this whole deal, but I mentioned this. [01:54:43.520 --> 01:54:49.840] I posted a thing in a couple of the legal chats that I'm involved in, and they suggested [01:54:49.840 --> 01:54:53.840] I get with you guys, because it's not a cut and dried issue. [01:54:53.840 --> 01:55:09.120] Okay, hold on, hold on. Send an email to Randy at ruleoflawradio.com. [01:55:09.120 --> 01:55:12.520] We're getting short on time to make sure that I'm able to address your issues. Okay, go [01:55:12.520 --> 01:55:13.520] ahead. [01:55:13.520 --> 01:55:21.960] Oh, okay. Should I just tell you what's going on now or send the email? I'm not sure what [01:55:21.960 --> 01:55:22.960] she told me. [01:55:22.960 --> 01:55:26.240] We only got three minutes, so quickly. [01:55:26.240 --> 01:55:34.000] Oh, well, there's a fire code that has been established or declared or whatever in our [01:55:34.000 --> 01:55:41.240] little town that any commercial building that can have more than 100 people in it, 100 or [01:55:41.240 --> 01:55:47.800] more people in it, has to have a sprinkler system from now on. All of the real estate [01:55:47.800 --> 01:55:51.680] agents and a lot of the local business owners are up in arms about it because it's going [01:55:51.680 --> 01:55:57.400] to kill our little town because people won't invest that kind of money in these commercial [01:55:57.400 --> 01:55:58.400] properties. [01:55:58.400 --> 01:56:05.080] It's already caused the cancel of a couple of transactions since it was found out that [01:56:05.080 --> 01:56:09.800] this was the new rule. It's been around for a couple of weeks, and I got involved. I didn't [01:56:09.800 --> 01:56:15.600] know anything was going on, but I had decided to sell my property in that little town. It's [01:56:15.600 --> 01:56:21.840] just going to mess that up, too, it looks like. I feel like they're overstepping their [01:56:21.840 --> 01:56:22.840] bounds. [01:56:22.840 --> 01:56:34.760] Where do they get authority to pass these requirements? You should be grandfathered. [01:56:34.760 --> 01:56:41.280] Well, it's probably true, but I'm using it for storage right now. Anybody else that was [01:56:41.280 --> 01:56:47.400] going to buy it is going to want to use it for a business purpose, and they may be required. [01:56:47.400 --> 01:56:50.400] The thing is... Well, go ahead. I'm sorry. [01:56:50.400 --> 01:56:51.880] No, no. Go ahead. [01:56:51.880 --> 01:56:56.760] We don't know what to do about it. I feel like that they've adopted... I know I talked [01:56:56.760 --> 01:57:01.520] to one of the city council people, and they admitted to me that, yes, we signed this large [01:57:01.520 --> 01:57:09.720] phone book-sized universal building code document and made it an ordinance without ever reading [01:57:09.720 --> 01:57:18.360] it. Somewhere in there, it grants what we consider way too much authority over our personal [01:57:18.360 --> 01:57:24.000] livelihood, and we don't know how to address it. [01:57:24.000 --> 01:57:28.040] I haven't actually talked to anybody, but I just keep hearing the other people tell [01:57:28.040 --> 01:57:33.400] me when they approach the city, the city says, talk to the fire department. When they approach [01:57:33.400 --> 01:57:37.760] the fire department, they say, talk to the city, and they're just doing a complete run [01:57:37.760 --> 01:57:39.440] around, and nobody's able to help. [01:57:39.440 --> 01:57:49.360] Okay. This looks like an issue where the city has issued a ruling or laws that dramatically [01:57:49.360 --> 01:57:54.600] affect your property, so you sue the city for whatever the cost of the sprinkler system [01:57:54.600 --> 01:58:05.160] is. We're out of time. Send me an email on this, and we'll discuss this off the air. [01:58:05.160 --> 01:58:06.160] Thank you very much. [01:58:06.160 --> 01:58:13.200] I've run into this before in Georgia, something similar, and it can be problematic, but you [01:58:13.200 --> 01:58:15.120] can hold the city responsible. [01:58:15.120 --> 01:58:20.960] Okay. Thank you all for listening. Randy Kelton, Brett Fountain, Rue de la Radio.
