[00:00.000 --> 00:13.880]  The US budget deficit is expected to hit a record $1.4 trillion in 2009, some $950 billion
[00:13.880 --> 00:16.360]  greater than last year's shortfall.
[00:16.360 --> 00:21.520]  The deficit resulted from declining revenues and increased spending, stemming mostly from
[00:21.520 --> 00:24.160]  the financial stimulus package.
[00:24.160 --> 00:28.960]  Representatives Ron Paul and Alan Grayson are asking the Senate to hold off on Federal
[00:28.960 --> 00:34.920]  Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's confirmation hearing until the Fed releases more information
[00:34.920 --> 00:37.560]  about its financial rescues.
[00:37.560 --> 00:42.360]  In a sign that more banks are under great pressure from the recession, 34 financial
[00:42.360 --> 00:48.520]  institutions did not pay quarterly dividends in August to the Treasury on funds obtained
[00:48.520 --> 00:52.040]  under the troubled Asset Relief Fund.
[00:52.040 --> 00:58.940]  Japan's new government is reviewing an agreement with Washington on US military facilities
[00:58.940 --> 01:04.200]  This is a follow-up to a campaign pledge to residents of Okinawa Island who have borne
[01:04.200 --> 01:08.400]  the brunt of the American presence for more than 60 years.
[01:08.400 --> 01:14.680]  Around 50,000 American troops are based in Japan, of which two-thirds are in Okinawa.
[01:14.680 --> 01:19.240]  Resentment against their presence has grown in recent years due to a series of crimes
[01:19.240 --> 01:21.680]  committed by service personnel.
[01:21.680 --> 01:27.880]  In February 2008, a case against a Marine accused of raping a 14-year-old girl was dropped
[01:27.880 --> 01:32.760]  after she withdrew the accusation, apparently to avoid the ordeal of a trial.
[01:32.760 --> 01:38.880]  The case revived bitter memories of the abduction and rape of a 12-year-old girl in 1995 by
[01:38.880 --> 01:40.560]  three US servicemen.
[01:40.560 --> 01:45.400]  Katsuya Okada, the foreign minister, said he wants the American military to remain in
[01:45.400 --> 01:54.480]  Japan but at a reduced level on the mostly southerly islands that include Okinawa.
[01:54.480 --> 02:00.240]  A year after Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac teetered on the brink of bankruptcy, industry executives
[02:00.240 --> 02:05.880]  and Washington policymakers are worried another government mortgage giant could be next.
[02:05.880 --> 02:11.400]  Problems at the Federal Housing Administration, which guarantees mortgages and low-down payments,
[02:11.400 --> 02:16.720]  are becoming so acute, some experts warn the agency might need a federal bailout.
[02:16.720 --> 02:23.480]  FHA Commissioner David Stevens assured lawmakers Thursday his agency would not need a bailout,
[02:23.480 --> 02:30.040]  but Stevens acknowledged that some 20% of FHA loans insured last year faced serious
[02:30.040 --> 02:32.920]  problems, including foreclosure.
[02:32.920 --> 02:36.920]  In the years since the government stepped in to rescue them, the companies have taken
[02:36.920 --> 02:41.280]  $96 billion from the Treasury and may need more.
[02:41.280 --> 02:46.040]  Since the bottom fell out of the mortgage market, the FHA has assumed a crucial role
[02:46.040 --> 02:48.520]  in the nation's housing market.
[02:48.520 --> 02:53.720]  Related to help lower-income and first-time buyers purchase homes, the agency now insures
[02:53.720 --> 02:59.720]  5.4 million single-family home mortgages worth $675 billion.
[02:59.720 --> 03:11.680]  You are listening to the Rule Law Radio Network at RuleLawRadio.com, live free speech talk
[03:11.680 --> 03:19.720]  radio at its best.
[03:19.720 --> 03:43.600]  Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do?
[03:43.600 --> 03:49.440]  Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do?
[03:49.440 --> 04:04.280]  All right, bad boys, bad boys, bad boys and bad girls, what are you going to do when Randy,
[04:04.280 --> 04:07.760]  Eddie and Debra come for you?
[04:07.760 --> 04:13.840]  If you are hot, you must get cool by, cool down by us, that is.
[04:13.840 --> 04:19.120]  All right, tonight we've got an action packed show for you guys and gals out there.
[04:19.120 --> 04:25.480]  Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to have very special guest Jim Ash from College Station
[04:25.480 --> 04:33.440]  whooping some serious behind over there concerning red light cameras and the work that he's been
[04:33.440 --> 04:36.760]  doing to stop that, he's got an amazing story.
[04:36.760 --> 04:43.240]  But first, we've got Karen Renick from Vote Rescue, she is on the line here, she's going
[04:43.240 --> 04:48.560]  to be speaking a little bit about this Continental Congress election that is going to be here
[04:48.560 --> 04:50.400]  tomorrow in Austin, Texas.
[04:50.400 --> 04:51.960]  Karen, thanks for calling in.
[04:51.960 --> 04:57.480]  Well, thank you Debra for having me on, yeah, I won't take up too much time but it's really
[04:57.480 --> 05:03.240]  important to get the message out because tomorrow is election day and it's election day actually
[05:03.240 --> 05:05.880]  all over the country.
[05:05.880 --> 05:15.000]  People in every state will be able to vote for delegates to the Continental Congress
[05:15.000 --> 05:21.240]  2009 and this is a very historic event that's coming up, it will be happening in November
[05:21.240 --> 05:26.160]  but tomorrow is the election day to choose the delegates from the states that will go
[05:26.160 --> 05:31.240]  and represent the people of each state including the District of Columbia and yes, here in
[05:31.240 --> 05:37.120]  Texas we have eight voting centers spread out around the state.
[05:37.120 --> 05:41.640]  We do have one here in Austin for people listening here in Austin, it's going to be at the Ruta
[05:41.640 --> 05:48.160]  Maya importing company, the Ruta Maya Coffee House down on South Congress and if I could
[05:48.160 --> 05:56.000]  I'll just throw out some websites or a website where people can go and get information because
[05:56.000 --> 06:02.080]  I just want to be sure that people can find where they can go vote.
[06:02.080 --> 06:14.480]  The main website for the Continental Congress is cc, like catcat20092009.us and that takes
[06:14.480 --> 06:20.640]  you to the main website for the Continental Congress and from there it's very easy to
[06:20.640 --> 06:29.840]  navigate to find your state page, each state has their own separate webpage and on the
[06:29.840 --> 06:37.280]  very top of their state page the delegates who are running, excuse me the candidates
[06:37.280 --> 06:46.080]  who are running for the position of delegate are shown on each homepage or each state page.
[06:46.080 --> 06:54.640]  For instance here in Texas we have let's see I think it's 14, yes 14 candidates running
[06:54.640 --> 07:00.800]  for three positions because each state as I said will be sending three delegates to
[07:00.800 --> 07:06.720]  the Continental Congress 2009 which is going to be happening in St. Charles, Illinois which
[07:06.720 --> 07:15.520]  is about an hour outside of Chicago and if I could probably talk, you're off about this
[07:15.520 --> 07:18.960]  whole thing about the Continental Congress but I know you've got a big show coming up
[07:18.960 --> 07:24.640]  and all the information people need to know about the Continental Congress can be found
[07:24.640 --> 07:30.160]  on the website but essentially it's a peaceful way for people to come together, talk about
[07:30.160 --> 07:35.380]  the violations that have been happening against you know the Constitution, how the government
[07:35.380 --> 07:42.680]  is not following the Constitution and just like the first one which was back in 1774
[07:42.680 --> 07:50.800]  they basically came up with some direction that they wanted to take because at that time
[07:50.800 --> 07:58.840]  it was King George and they had been trying to get their grievances you know answered
[07:58.840 --> 08:06.320]  and things changed but they weren't able to do that and then it led into finally deciding
[08:06.320 --> 08:10.800]  to strike on you know for independence but nobody knows what the outcome of this Continental
[08:10.800 --> 08:15.840]  Congress will be but the first step is this election and the important thing to know is
[08:15.840 --> 08:21.360]  that these elections are going to be held using hand counted paper ballots so if you
[08:21.360 --> 08:26.040]  can make it to a voting center you will be voting in the way that we all should be voting
[08:26.040 --> 08:32.280]  and this is something Vote Rescue has been a proponent of for nearly five years now is
[08:32.280 --> 08:37.120]  totally transparent elections where every step is observable and a example.
[08:37.120 --> 08:40.480]  They are going to count them in public view.
[08:40.480 --> 08:49.360]  They are counted in public yes sir they surely are and all the states let's just say that
[08:49.360 --> 08:57.600]  there are voting centers I believe in about 18 different states so not every state has
[08:57.600 --> 09:00.560]  you know voting center or voting centers.
[09:00.560 --> 09:08.680]  If you are in a state that does not have one you can still vote by mail.
[09:08.680 --> 09:14.240]  We do have it set up so that you can send in a mail in ballot but you have to fill out
[09:14.240 --> 09:20.840]  a registration form that needs to be notarized so it means to you know finding the notary
[09:20.840 --> 09:25.840]  in the morning and then getting it postmarked by tomorrow night so that it will be counted
[09:25.840 --> 09:31.640]  and we are counting the mail in ballots a week from tomorrow but all the ballots cast
[09:31.640 --> 09:38.640]  tomorrow at these voting centers will be counted in public and everyone is welcome to be part
[09:38.640 --> 09:44.200]  be present and observe that because that is what we are trying to show is that this is
[09:44.200 --> 09:50.920]  how we want our elections run so it is wonderful that we have got this opportunity to educate
[09:50.920 --> 09:59.120]  people about hand counted paper ballot elections in conjunction with this goal of sending delegates
[09:59.120 --> 10:01.120]  to the Continental Congress.
[10:01.120 --> 10:06.160]  Excellent and it is my understanding just to put this out there to the listeners this
[10:06.160 --> 10:13.320]  is not some kind of parallel government or we are electing a common law congress or any
[10:13.320 --> 10:19.880]  of this kind of craziness like that this is just a meeting of the minds of people getting
[10:19.880 --> 10:22.200]  together to discuss ideas basically.
[10:22.200 --> 10:23.840]  That is exactly right.
[10:23.840 --> 10:31.720]  She mentioned King George, this time fortunately we got rid of King George in the last election
[10:31.720 --> 10:34.080]  now we have to deal with Caliph Obama.
[10:34.080 --> 10:40.760]  Oh yeah, who by the way, this is just an aside, apparently got awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
[10:40.760 --> 10:49.160]  today which is a laughing stock in my book because the man has escalated the war in Afghanistan,
[10:49.160 --> 10:58.000]  he has continued the war in Iraq and he also has blocked the Goldstone report of the UN
[10:58.000 --> 11:06.120]  for making it to the Hague to have Israel tried for war crimes regarding their activities
[11:06.120 --> 11:12.920]  in Gaza so our president stands for pouring white phosphorus over little kids so yeah
[11:12.920 --> 11:13.920]  sure.
[11:13.920 --> 11:14.920]  The Nobel Peace Prize.
[11:14.920 --> 11:15.920]  They only killed 2,300.
[11:15.920 --> 11:16.920]  What is the problem?
[11:16.920 --> 11:17.920]  Yeah, right.
[11:17.920 --> 11:18.920]  Anyway.
[11:18.920 --> 11:19.920]  They lost nine soldiers.
[11:19.920 --> 11:23.440]  Well you know war is peace, freedom is slavery so whatever.
[11:23.440 --> 11:28.200]  I think it's, I think a lot of people agree now is the time that a lot of people get together
[11:28.200 --> 11:33.560]  start talking about what's the next step and the government has not been addressing the
[11:33.560 --> 11:40.240]  grievances and it is part of the First Amendment to have our grievances addressed by the government
[11:40.240 --> 11:45.680]  and that's not happening and so the person behind the Continental Congress, Bob Schultz
[11:45.680 --> 11:52.360]  of We the People, the Constitutional Foundation, Educational Foundation, he's been working
[11:52.360 --> 11:58.400]  on this issue for probably 14 years or more specifically sending in grievances to the
[11:58.400 --> 12:01.800]  government so this isn't something that just has evolved overnight.
[12:01.800 --> 12:08.120]  Bob's been, and he's got a huge following through We the People and he decided that
[12:08.120 --> 12:12.280]  Continental Congress was the next step and a lot of people have agreed and this is where
[12:12.280 --> 12:13.280]  we are now.
[12:13.280 --> 12:14.280]  It's come a long way.
[12:14.280 --> 12:21.240]  We still have a month before it starts and a lot of time to, actually it's not a lot
[12:21.240 --> 12:26.520]  of time but time to get the word out to people that it's going to happen because the intention
[12:26.520 --> 12:33.300]  is to have the actual Congress webcast live so every single day you can go on your computer
[12:33.300 --> 12:39.080]  and you can listen to the discussions that these delegates will be having regarding the
[12:39.080 --> 12:44.880]  issues that will be discussed and it will be exciting times I think to hear what they
[12:44.880 --> 12:46.440]  have to say.
[12:46.440 --> 12:53.000]  So it's very exciting and the elections tomorrow, we're thrilled, Vote Rescue, we're just honored
[12:53.000 --> 12:58.000]  that we've been able to help organize and plan these elections for all over the country
[12:58.000 --> 13:02.400]  and tomorrow we've got one right here in our own backyard in Austin.
[13:02.400 --> 13:08.060]  Leila Teff is the voting center team leader and she's got a great team going and so anybody
[13:08.060 --> 13:13.360]  in Austin please come down and cast your paper ballot and you can stick around at four o'clock
[13:13.360 --> 13:20.800]  they'll start counting them and you'll be able to see how the vote count went here in
[13:20.800 --> 13:21.800]  Austin.
[13:21.800 --> 13:29.680]  Well that's excellent and just to be a little biased here if I may, one of our very own
[13:29.680 --> 13:35.920]  hosts, talk show host on this network, John Bush is running, he is a candidate so Rule
[13:35.920 --> 13:42.560]  of Law Radio definitely endorses John Bush to be a delegate for the Continental Congress.
[13:42.560 --> 13:46.320]  I also personally endorse Michael Badnerick so those are my two picks.
[13:46.320 --> 13:48.280]  Yes and I have to remain non-partisan.
[13:48.280 --> 13:51.280]  What's that Karen?
[13:51.280 --> 13:57.480]  I said I might be considered too extreme to be on the Continental Congress.
[13:57.480 --> 13:58.480]  You never know.
[13:58.480 --> 14:10.160]  Eddie is like the hot sauce commercial, get the rope.
[14:10.160 --> 14:17.240]  Now check out the candidates online on the Texas page at cc2009.us, you can also get
[14:17.240 --> 14:25.720]  to it if you can remember better, gismyliberty.org but cc2009.us will get you to the main website
[14:25.720 --> 14:30.320]  and then just search for the map and click on Texas and you're there on the state page
[14:30.320 --> 14:36.040]  and you can read all about the candidates and like I say if you're in Austin we do have
[14:36.040 --> 14:37.040]  voting centers.
[14:37.040 --> 14:41.080]  Let me just read off the names real fast and then I'll let you get on with your show.
[14:41.080 --> 14:48.640]  There's a voting center in Amarillo, in Plano, Farmers Branch, Lubbock, McQueenie, Texas
[14:48.640 --> 14:56.680]  and Tyler, oh Texas City too, Texas City so we've got eight centers here in Texas so if
[14:56.680 --> 15:02.400]  you're within a decent driving time drive on over and cast your ballot.
[15:02.400 --> 15:05.720]  And a way to mail in your ballot if you're not in one of those cities.
[15:05.720 --> 15:10.000]  Yes, but tomorrow is the last day so you've got to track down a notary and get it in the
[15:10.000 --> 15:12.560]  post office so it gets postmarked by tomorrow.
[15:12.560 --> 15:16.440]  And here in Austin it's at Ruta Maya down here on South Congress.
[15:16.440 --> 15:17.440]  That's right.
[15:17.440 --> 15:18.440]  From ten to four.
[15:18.440 --> 15:23.000]  Ten to four, thank you Deborah and next weekend as I say we're going to be counting the ballots
[15:23.000 --> 15:28.240]  and we are actually going to be counting the ballots for the entire country.
[15:28.240 --> 15:32.480]  All the mail in ballots are being mailed to Austin, there are a few states that are collecting
[15:32.480 --> 15:36.480]  their own and counting them but the majority are sending their ballots to Austin and so
[15:36.480 --> 15:41.480]  if there are people out there that would love to help hand count paper ballots please get
[15:41.480 --> 15:47.640]  a hold of myself and Vicki Karp.
[15:47.640 --> 15:54.360]  You can find our contact information on the website but we're dying for people to help
[15:54.360 --> 15:55.360]  us out.
[15:55.360 --> 15:59.360]  We have no idea how many ballots are going to come in, it's a total mystery but it'll
[15:59.360 --> 16:03.440]  be exciting and we can certainly use the help next weekend.
[16:03.440 --> 16:07.920]  Excellent, good deal and like I said Rue La Blah Radio endorses John Bush and Deborah
[16:07.920 --> 16:11.840]  Stevens personally endorses Michael Ben-Erik.
[16:11.840 --> 16:13.320]  Well thank you so much Deborah.
[16:13.320 --> 16:18.080]  And thank you Karen, I know you have to remain unbiased since you got involved in the election
[16:18.080 --> 16:25.240]  and that's fine but we really appreciate you guys' generous offer and so much work that
[16:25.240 --> 16:29.280]  you are volunteering your time for free and it's much appreciated.
[16:29.280 --> 16:33.120]  Well thank you, it's very exciting, this is the next step for getting the word out about
[16:33.120 --> 16:34.120]  the hand count paper ballot election.
[16:34.120 --> 16:37.400]  Okay any closing comments Karen, we've got 20 seconds.
[16:37.400 --> 16:42.840]  Just that please consider voting, find a voting center and go down and cast your hand count
[16:42.840 --> 16:46.600]  of paper ballot and we'll see you tomorrow if you're in Austin, come to Ruta Maya.
[16:46.600 --> 16:47.600]  Alright thank you Karen.
[16:47.600 --> 16:48.800]  Thank you Deborah.
[16:48.800 --> 16:49.800]  Thank you very much.
[16:49.800 --> 16:52.640]  When we get back on the other side we'll be speaking with our guest Jim Ash about red
[16:52.640 --> 17:01.480]  light cameras and College Station or the lack thereof, we'll be right back.
[17:01.480 --> 17:05.480]  Hello Austin, my name is Harlan Dietrich, owner of Brave New Books, a local independent
[17:05.480 --> 17:06.480]  bookstore here in town.
[17:06.480 --> 17:09.480]  Many of you are familiar with the bookstore and have attended some of our events.
[17:09.480 --> 17:14.480]  We've been proud to host speakers like Alex Jones, Ron Paul, Jim Mars, Catherine Albrecht,
[17:14.480 --> 17:19.480]  Wester Carpley, G. Edward Griffin and many other heroic figures in the patriot movement.
[17:19.480 --> 17:24.480]  But now Brave New Books needs your help, in order to continue to provide a space for these
[17:24.480 --> 17:29.360]  events and be an outlet for hard to find materials, we're going to need you Austin to help spread
[17:29.360 --> 17:30.360]  the word about the bookstore.
[17:30.360 --> 17:35.040]  Please tell your friends and family about the wide variety of materials we offer.
[17:35.040 --> 17:39.280]  We also have DVD duplication capabilities for all you activists.
[17:39.280 --> 17:42.440]  Also if you haven't visited us yet, please come down and show your support.
[17:42.440 --> 17:46.720]  It is so easy to support the big corporate chain stores that do nothing to further our
[17:46.720 --> 17:47.720]  message.
[17:47.720 --> 17:49.720]  And remember, you vote with your dollars.
[17:49.720 --> 17:50.720]  We're counting on you Austin.
[17:50.720 --> 17:58.320]  If you need any information, please call 512-480-2503 or visit us at 1904 Guadalupe Street.
[17:58.320 --> 18:25.560]  Thank you everyone.
[18:25.560 --> 18:30.240]  We believe in peace through justice as opposed to the Nobel Peace Prize.
[18:30.240 --> 18:37.560]  They give peace prizes to warmongers, but at any rate, we believe in peace through justice.
[18:37.560 --> 18:40.040]  Okay, here on Rule of Law Radio.
[18:40.040 --> 18:47.000]  All right, tonight we have our next very special guest, Mr. Jim Ash out of College Station,
[18:47.000 --> 18:52.240]  who has been battling the implementation of red light cameras and apparently has had some
[18:52.240 --> 18:59.680]  big wins, it's been kind of a very much of a soap opera drama situation from what I've
[18:59.680 --> 19:02.160]  heard from our mutual friend Aaron.
[19:02.160 --> 19:07.080]  So Jim, welcome to the show and why don't you back up and just bring our listeners up
[19:07.080 --> 19:11.040]  to speed, those of you who, for our listeners who may not remember, you were on our show
[19:11.040 --> 19:15.560]  a few months ago talking about, you know, what you've been doing from the beginning.
[19:15.560 --> 19:19.160]  Just tell us the whole story and bring us up to speed, up to current.
[19:19.160 --> 19:20.160]  Great.
[19:20.160 --> 19:23.160]  Hey, Deb, Randy, Eddie, thanks for having me back on.
[19:23.160 --> 19:27.720]  I tell you what, I think you hit it right on the head, nail on the head there.
[19:27.720 --> 19:31.480]  It has been a bit of a soap opera, if you will.
[19:31.480 --> 19:36.960]  In September 10th of 2008, my vehicle was photographed going through an intersection
[19:36.960 --> 19:46.320]  here in College Station by a photo enforcement camera and I got a notice about a month later.
[19:46.320 --> 19:51.800]  While reading the notice on the front, of course, I realized that it proclaimed me guilty
[19:51.800 --> 19:58.840]  without a trial and I, of course, went down to the court and tried to appeal it, further
[19:58.840 --> 20:03.420]  found out there's no option for a jury trial, there's no option for appeal, there's no
[20:03.420 --> 20:11.200]  option to face and cross-examine the witnesses in the case and at the same time the state
[20:11.200 --> 20:18.240]  can choose to charge you under a criminal charge under section 544 of the transportation
[20:18.240 --> 20:23.800]  code or under section 707, which is a photo enforcement, the state gets to choose how
[20:23.800 --> 20:34.320]  they want to prosecute you for the same violation and because of the due process violations
[20:34.320 --> 20:42.400]  and the 14th Amendment equal protection challenges I had from day one, it just smelled bad to
[20:42.400 --> 20:51.760]  me so I fought that initially through the city and then worked through the state legislature
[20:51.760 --> 20:58.280]  trying to get the law changed and the drama goes that the city of College Station, when
[20:58.280 --> 21:05.440]  we were close to having an amendment to the transportation bill in this past session passed
[21:05.440 --> 21:11.280]  a 20-year extension to the existing red light camera contract here in College Station on
[21:11.280 --> 21:17.320]  May 29th and on June 3rd I put up a little tent out on one of the main streets here in
[21:17.320 --> 21:24.960]  College Station and began collecting signatures for an ordinance initiative as we have the
[21:24.960 --> 21:30.720]  rights under the College Station City Charter, we completed that and turned it in and now
[21:30.720 --> 21:37.360]  sure enough we're going to get the vote on this on November 3rd and in a lot of ways
[21:37.360 --> 21:45.800]  the drama just tightens from that spot because in the ensuing couple of months here the photo
[21:45.800 --> 21:53.320]  enforcement vendor for the City of College Station has began funding a political action
[21:53.320 --> 22:02.000]  committee that's opposing us, they've had about $25,000 in campaign expenditures through
[22:02.000 --> 22:10.560]  September 24th and we are sitting proudly at $1,800 and about $75,000 just under $1,900
[22:10.560 --> 22:18.080]  in campaign expenditures but knock on wood I think it's going to come our way on November
[22:18.080 --> 22:25.560]  3rd that's the one that matters when people go to the polls for real and vote on November
[22:25.560 --> 22:28.240]  3rd to get rid of the red light cameras.
[22:28.240 --> 22:35.080]  Okay so Jim just to reiterate let me get this straight again for our listeners, the private
[22:35.080 --> 22:42.160]  company that would be contracted for these red light cameras set up a political action
[22:42.160 --> 22:49.320]  committee and funded how much money out of their own pocket like $10,000 or something?
[22:49.320 --> 22:57.120]  Yes the vendor to the City of College Station sent a check for $10,000 to some local residents
[22:57.120 --> 23:06.360]  to help fund their opposition to me, the company that actually prints the red light camera
[23:06.360 --> 23:15.720]  tickets for that vendor in Houston gave an in kind donation of $6,500 to their campaign
[23:15.720 --> 23:22.320]  to print up and distribute and mail out a nice glossy brochure, I mean I feel like those
[23:22.320 --> 23:29.000]  companies have the right just like anybody else to express an opinion, it's just amazing
[23:29.000 --> 23:37.080]  to me that it's billed as a grass roots opposition to what we're doing in the city and there
[23:37.080 --> 23:43.520]  isn't a single person from College Station that's donated a dollar to their campaign.
[23:43.520 --> 23:49.000]  Yeah grass roots opposition to your opposition to red light cameras.
[23:49.000 --> 23:52.320]  Right, hey hey hey these roots go deep.
[23:52.320 --> 23:58.640]  The definition of astroturf and there's their picture.
[23:58.640 --> 24:06.360]  You know maybe we're just not realizing the kind of grass they're really on.
[24:06.360 --> 24:11.640]  Yeah even people who are on that kind of grass I don't think are that messed up.
[24:11.640 --> 24:21.240]  Yeah it's the astroturf grass that I think is where is the more proper description for
[24:21.240 --> 24:27.400]  those who don't know what that means, well people in Texas probably know what astroturf
[24:27.400 --> 24:35.560]  is, astroturf is fake grass that was originally used in the Astrodome indoor stadium in Houston
[24:35.560 --> 24:42.360]  where the Houston Astros and the Oilers would play and so now they've taken that term astroturf
[24:42.360 --> 24:49.920]  and now it's applied to fake grass roots efforts like what you're describing here Jim to make
[24:49.920 --> 24:56.160]  it look like it's all grass roots you know, oh yeah it's the people you know but it's
[24:56.160 --> 24:57.640]  really not.
[24:57.640 --> 25:04.760]  The people are rising up against this renegade Jim Ash, well I'll kind of complete the story
[25:04.760 --> 25:09.720]  or complete the introduction to the story anyway and in the ensuing time on June 3rd
[25:09.720 --> 25:16.240]  I put up my tent out on University Drive here in College Station, a couple of banners to
[25:16.240 --> 25:20.120]  put on the side of my shade structure that I already owned, used my own folding chairs
[25:20.120 --> 25:28.880]  and table and in that process the newly formed grass roots opposition to me in College Station
[25:28.880 --> 25:35.680]  funded out of Arizona hired an administrative law firm out of Austin to do an investigation
[25:35.680 --> 25:44.880]  on me and as it turns out under the Texas election code if an individual spends $100
[25:44.880 --> 25:52.680]  of their own money circulating a petition that person owes a campaign finance report
[25:52.680 --> 25:58.200]  to the local authority regarding the measure that they're working on.
[25:58.200 --> 26:02.760]  I was totally clueless, I had no idea that it was a requirement of the law so of course
[26:02.760 --> 26:12.320]  I didn't file anything so that is the source of ethics charges against me from Austin out
[26:12.320 --> 26:26.320]  of a law firm out of Austin and then I looked at that, the state rules call for general
[26:26.320 --> 26:34.000]  political action committees can take as much cash as they want for individuals, specific
[26:34.000 --> 26:38.080]  action political action committees which I would be because I only have one issue and
[26:38.080 --> 26:46.160]  that's a red light camera, have a limitation of $100 in donations in cash.
[26:46.160 --> 26:53.560]  I took a $2,000 donation, I receded it in a receipt book, I deposited it in the HAC
[26:53.560 --> 27:01.400]  bank account and talked about it on the radio much like I'm doing here and of course that
[27:01.400 --> 27:07.240]  was one of the ethics charges too so I returned the $2,000 donation that day as soon as I
[27:07.240 --> 27:11.080]  became aware of the regulation.
[27:11.080 --> 27:17.080]  I look at this much like many other citizens that there's kind of a soft tyranny that there
[27:17.080 --> 27:25.880]  are so many regulations and so much code that must be complied with that any one of us,
[27:25.880 --> 27:33.440]  if somebody wants to bear down on us and investigate our lives, that is kind of a tyranny over
[27:33.440 --> 27:41.960]  us in that it's virtually impossible for a citizen, I'm not an attorney, I have no training
[27:41.960 --> 27:47.080]  in the law, to comply with all the laws that are on the book.
[27:47.080 --> 27:50.480]  If somebody wants to investigate your life long enough they're going to find something
[27:50.480 --> 27:53.280]  to bring against you and that's kind of my scenario.
[27:53.280 --> 28:01.200]  Even as most youth I'll take my lumps when I go in front of the ethics commission and
[28:01.200 --> 28:06.160]  I'll just deal with that, I consider it tuition, if you will.
[28:06.160 --> 28:08.880]  How about you doing a little lumping back?
[28:08.880 --> 28:09.880]  Well, you know...
[28:09.880 --> 28:15.400]  What section of the law are they charging you under, or where they said any person collecting?
[28:15.400 --> 28:19.360]  Do they give you a statutory section?
[28:19.360 --> 28:27.080]  Yes, there's a specific section in Title 15 of the Texas Election Code that covers cash
[28:27.080 --> 28:32.000]  donations to a specific political action committee.
[28:32.000 --> 28:40.480]  And I've used extensively open records laws within the state of Texas to gain information
[28:40.480 --> 28:46.320]  about what the city is doing and I received an open record request on October 5th that
[28:46.320 --> 28:56.280]  revealed that the city was spending $20,000 of public funds on a brochure that, quote
[28:56.280 --> 28:58.640]  unquote, was a voter education brochure.
[28:58.640 --> 29:02.000]  Those are all online on my web page.
[29:02.000 --> 29:07.760]  I have both the stories, I have the campaign finance reports in totality for both of our
[29:07.760 --> 29:16.280]  groups and I also have the complaint I filed with the Texas Ethics Commission regarding
[29:16.280 --> 29:23.480]  the city of College Station, City Manager Glenn Brown approving the expenditure of $20,000
[29:23.480 --> 29:26.400]  of public funds for that advertising.
[29:26.400 --> 29:30.880]  There's a couple of components in that code that have to be met.
[29:30.880 --> 29:36.600]  One, it has to be false and they have to know it's false and number two, it has to be significant
[29:36.600 --> 29:40.800]  enough to impact the election and I believe it was true on both of those accounts.
[29:40.800 --> 29:45.000]  Okay, well listen, hold on, hold on, we're going to break.
[29:45.000 --> 29:48.520]  And when we get back on the other side, I also want to...
[29:48.520 --> 29:53.440]  We can talk about Eddie's and Randy's issues and I also want to address the possibility
[29:53.440 --> 29:57.680]  of you amending your charter of your political action committee so that you would be more
[29:57.680 --> 29:58.680]  general or something.
[29:58.680 --> 29:59.680]  Oh, we'll be right back.
[29:59.680 --> 30:00.680]  All right.
[30:00.680 --> 30:05.280]  There comes a time in every patriot's life when they must ask themselves, will I sit
[30:05.280 --> 30:09.920]  idly by as tyranny engulfs the globe or will I do everything in my power to defend the
[30:09.920 --> 30:12.040]  freedom inherent in all men across the world?
[30:12.040 --> 30:16.680]  Will I give up hope in the face of seemingly impossible odds or will I use the intensity
[30:16.680 --> 30:19.760]  of the struggle ahead of me to strengthen my convictions?
[30:19.760 --> 30:23.360]  My name is John Bush and I've chosen to stand tall on the side of liberty.
[30:23.360 --> 30:27.600]  Many other patriots like myself have come together to call for a new Continental Congress.
[30:27.600 --> 30:31.680]  Just as our founders assembled before us, we too will gather to discuss the abuses of
[30:31.680 --> 30:34.160]  our government and what we can do to correct them.
[30:34.160 --> 30:38.040]  I'm asking for your vote and your support in being one of three Texans to represent
[30:38.040 --> 30:40.160]  our great state in this historic event.
[30:40.160 --> 30:46.640]  You can vote this Saturday, October the 10th, at Ruta Maya on 3601 South Congress Avenue.
[30:46.640 --> 30:48.640]  Anytime from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
[30:48.640 --> 30:54.040]  Again, that's Saturday, October the 10th, at Ruta Maya on 3601 South Congress Avenue.
[30:54.040 --> 31:01.040]  Go to givemeliberty.org for more info and remember to always humanize, harmonize, localize.
[31:01.040 --> 31:15.040]  Yeah, I got a warrant and I'm gonna solve them to the government them, prosecute them.
[31:15.040 --> 31:16.040]  Okay.
[31:16.040 --> 31:17.040]  All set.
[31:17.040 --> 31:32.040]  The Texans are racing for Mr. Bush, the Texans are racing for Dixie, well I need a prosecutor
[31:32.040 --> 31:38.040]  to come and help me, prosecute them wicked leader, you see, the mama heard a raw liar,
[31:38.040 --> 31:43.040]  them tell me, them a liar, not tell six stories, me not believe me, say what them tell me.
[31:43.040 --> 31:47.040]  Okay, citizens arrest.
[31:47.040 --> 31:51.040]  How did he become president when only 3% voted for him?
[31:51.040 --> 31:55.040]  Okay, how did all these regulations get in place meant to keep us down?
[31:55.040 --> 31:59.040]  All right, Eddie, you had an issue you wanted to address with Jim, you started talking about
[31:59.040 --> 32:00.040]  on the break.
[32:00.040 --> 32:05.040]  Yeah, well, once I get a hold of the section that they're doing this with, here's my thoughts
[32:05.040 --> 32:07.040]  on what I've heard so far.
[32:07.040 --> 32:12.040]  If they stated that a person is a person that one way or the other, I'm willing to bet you
[32:12.040 --> 32:16.040]  the definition of person does not apply in this case, but either way, our state constitution
[32:16.040 --> 32:22.040]  specifically states that all political power is inherent in the people, that is in the
[32:22.040 --> 32:29.040]  Bill of Rights, Article 1 of the state constitution, Article 29, or Section 29 of Article 1 specifically
[32:29.040 --> 32:35.040]  states that all of the proclamations in the Bill of Rights are forever removed from the
[32:35.040 --> 32:38.040]  general powers of the legislature.
[32:38.040 --> 32:43.040]  They can't vote on it, they can't write a law that alters it or in any way affects any
[32:43.040 --> 32:48.040]  of the rights in the Bill of Rights in Texas, and this would do exactly that.
[32:48.040 --> 32:53.040]  They are prohibiting political speech and movement by a citizen when that power is
[32:53.040 --> 33:00.040]  strictly reserved to him within our state constitution.
[33:00.040 --> 33:09.040]  Every time I come on here, I learn something brand new.
[33:09.040 --> 33:14.040]  The difficulty faced in this kind of thing is that you've got to go up there and you've
[33:14.040 --> 33:17.040]  got to fight all this, right?
[33:17.040 --> 33:26.040]  You're a normal citizen in a small town in Texas, and to go up there and swing for the
[33:26.040 --> 33:35.040]  teachers in Austin is a rather daunting task for the regular U.S. citizen, you know?
[33:35.040 --> 33:38.040]  Well, first off, Jim, you're not a U.S. citizen.
[33:38.040 --> 33:40.040]  Don't ever fall into that trap.
[33:40.040 --> 33:46.040]  The second thing is that the Agenda 21 guys on their show tonight said something I absolutely
[33:46.040 --> 33:48.040]  agree with.
[33:48.040 --> 33:54.040]  In order to enforce your rights, you must know your rights and you must be willing to
[33:54.040 --> 33:56.040]  get on them no matter what.
[33:56.040 --> 34:01.040]  The moment you back off of your rights is the moment you lose them, and we have done
[34:01.040 --> 34:03.040]  too much backing up.
[34:03.040 --> 34:05.040]  Well, I would sure agree with that.
[34:05.040 --> 34:10.040]  I would sure agree with that because, you know, in this scenario, I mean, that's been
[34:10.040 --> 34:16.040]  the foundation of my argument no matter how elementary from a rule of law perspective.
[34:16.040 --> 34:22.040]  I mean, frankly, I didn't even realize, I mean, you know, just like most people, you
[34:22.040 --> 34:28.040]  grow up just kind of understanding and trying to assimilate into the population.
[34:28.040 --> 34:34.040]  You know, the rule of law is at foundation here the only thing we have that's keeping
[34:34.040 --> 34:36.040]  us from tyranny.
[34:36.040 --> 34:41.040]  And in this scenario, I think the state has definitely gone overboard on this
[34:41.040 --> 34:45.040]  photo enforcement type issue.
[34:45.040 --> 34:49.040]  Well, it all comes down to other arguments I've got for the traffic seminar and
[34:49.040 --> 34:54.040]  everything else, but it really comes to the point where if people could just learn
[34:54.040 --> 34:59.040]  basic English definitions, they would have enough questions to go find the legal
[34:59.040 --> 35:00.040]  definitions.
[35:00.040 --> 35:06.040]  Everybody out there, go to a dictionary, for instance, and look up the word
[35:06.040 --> 35:08.040]  transportation.
[35:08.040 --> 35:12.040]  Every statute he's discussing right here that he's railing against and the ones I
[35:12.040 --> 35:16.040]  intend to discuss fall under the transportation code.
[35:16.040 --> 35:22.040]  Transportation, the definition of it is commerce.
[35:22.040 --> 35:27.040]  We're dealing with a code that is intended to regulate commerce.
[35:27.040 --> 35:31.040]  Therefore, the only people that any of the sections of that code can apply to are
[35:31.040 --> 35:35.040]  those engaged in commerce.
[35:35.040 --> 35:39.040]  That's the only authority we gave our legislature to regulate.
[35:39.040 --> 35:41.040]  It certainly was not us.
[35:41.040 --> 35:46.040]  And I can prove that right out of one of the statements made in the State
[35:46.040 --> 35:48.040]  Constitution Bill of Rights.
[35:48.040 --> 35:49.040]  Jim.
[35:49.040 --> 35:50.040]  Yes.
[35:50.040 --> 35:54.040]  You might consider coming to this traffic seminar.
[35:54.040 --> 35:55.040]  Okay.
[35:55.040 --> 35:58.040]  It will give you tools you won't believe.
[35:58.040 --> 35:59.040]  All right.
[35:59.040 --> 36:08.040]  And Eddie's going to give you the tools to fight them on a statutory level.
[36:08.040 --> 36:10.040]  I'm going to give you a different tool.
[36:10.040 --> 36:12.040]  All right.
[36:12.040 --> 36:15.040]  A change of mindset.
[36:15.040 --> 36:23.040]  You're you sound like you're still trying to defend yourself against them.
[36:23.040 --> 36:28.040]  You haven't grabbed them by the throat yet.
[36:28.040 --> 36:37.040]  Why haven't you filed a countersuit in the traffic citation case?
[36:37.040 --> 36:40.040]  I'm going to countersue the city and the judge.
[36:40.040 --> 36:43.040]  Once you've been to this traffic seminar,
[36:43.040 --> 36:49.040]  Eddie will give you the tools you need to make the allegation on very strong
[36:49.040 --> 36:52.040]  legal grounds.
[36:52.040 --> 36:58.040]  This red light camera is unconstitutional and they know it.
[36:58.040 --> 36:59.040]  Sure.
[36:59.040 --> 37:05.040]  They also know that it will take ordinary people quite a while to get it
[37:05.040 --> 37:10.040]  overturned. And in the meantime, they will make a tremendous amount of money.
[37:10.040 --> 37:11.040]  Correct.
[37:11.040 --> 37:14.040]  So you have been harmed by this.
[37:14.040 --> 37:16.040]  Now you can raise the issue.
[37:16.040 --> 37:24.040]  You countersue the city and the judge and anybody involved with it for
[37:24.040 --> 37:28.040]  interfering with your for denying you and your rights to due process.
[37:28.040 --> 37:35.040]  And when you countersue to remove it to a higher court and you become the
[37:35.040 --> 37:37.040]  plaintiff, you become the aggressor.
[37:37.040 --> 37:42.040]  So it's a whole different animal when you're crawling down their throat,
[37:42.040 --> 37:46.040]  stomping your feet all the way and using their law to do it.
[37:46.040 --> 37:47.040]  Yeah.
[37:47.040 --> 37:51.040]  And Justice O'Connor's book, O'Connor's Causes of Action, makes it very,
[37:51.040 --> 37:55.040]  very clear in the section on suits against the government,
[37:55.040 --> 38:02.040]  if any public official violates a self-enacting clause of the state
[38:02.040 --> 38:10.040]  Constitution, they have zero immunity against suit.
[38:10.040 --> 38:11.040]  Yes.
[38:11.040 --> 38:15.040]  So if the mayor and the city council wants to institute an unauthorized
[38:15.040 --> 38:23.040]  tax in the form of this red light camera, then and reach into the pocket of
[38:23.040 --> 38:27.040]  the citizen and take money and put it in the city coffers,
[38:27.040 --> 38:33.040]  then it's fair for you to reach in their pockets and put money into your
[38:33.040 --> 38:34.040]  coffers.
[38:34.040 --> 38:39.040]  Well, I'm all for that.
[38:39.040 --> 38:46.040]  In the meantime, I got an election November 3rd.
[38:46.040 --> 38:56.040]  What I have a question about is do you guys have any opinions as to what
[38:56.040 --> 38:59.040]  about this political advertising from the city?
[38:59.040 --> 39:04.040]  How would you go about addressing a question if you were faced with what I'm
[39:04.040 --> 39:05.040]  faced with?
[39:05.040 --> 39:07.040]  First thing I want to do is...
[39:07.040 --> 39:09.040]  I mean, the city's going to go ahead and send out the advertisement.
[39:09.040 --> 39:10.040]  Wait a minute.
[39:10.040 --> 39:11.040]  They don't care.
[39:11.040 --> 39:17.040]  The ethics commission has no authority to intervene and stop it.
[39:17.040 --> 39:22.040]  Randy, maybe some kind of a petition for a temporary injunction?
[39:22.040 --> 39:24.040]  Well, but here's the thing.
[39:24.040 --> 39:31.040]  Does the city charter or any state law prohibit a government agency from
[39:31.040 --> 39:33.040]  engaging in political activity?
[39:33.040 --> 39:34.040]  Wait, wait, wait, wait.
[39:34.040 --> 39:37.040]  Wrong question.
[39:37.040 --> 39:40.040]  These are not private citizens.
[39:40.040 --> 39:43.040]  He's addressing a different issue, Randy.
[39:43.040 --> 39:50.040]  This is a situation where the city government is using taxpayer funds to fund
[39:50.040 --> 39:54.040]  a political campaign that absolutely is illegal.
[39:54.040 --> 40:00.040]  I understand that, but what I'm saying is this goes to a basic mindset,
[40:00.040 --> 40:02.040]  asking the wrong question.
[40:02.040 --> 40:06.040]  Eddie's asking, is there anything prohibiting them?
[40:06.040 --> 40:07.040]  And I say, wait a minute, wait a minute.
[40:07.040 --> 40:08.040]  These are public officials.
[40:08.040 --> 40:10.040]  Or authorizing for that matter.
[40:10.040 --> 40:11.040]  There we go.
[40:11.040 --> 40:19.040]  Well, the statute under Title 15 of the Election Code, Section 255.003,
[40:19.040 --> 40:24.040]  says an officer and an employee of a political subdivision may not spend
[40:24.040 --> 40:29.040]  or authorize the spending of public funds for a communication describing a
[40:29.040 --> 40:33.040]  measure if the communication contains information that the officer knows is
[40:33.040 --> 40:38.040]  false and is sufficiently substantial and important to reasonably be likely
[40:38.040 --> 40:42.040]  to influence a voter either for or against a measure.
[40:42.040 --> 40:46.040]  So you have reason to believe that is the case.
[40:46.040 --> 40:49.040]  Did you file criminal charges against the perpetrator?
[40:49.040 --> 40:54.040]  I filed charges with the, or a complaint with the Texas Ethics Commission.
[40:54.040 --> 40:56.040]  That's not a criminal charge.
[40:56.040 --> 40:57.040]  Correct.
[40:57.040 --> 40:58.040]  That's a civil charge.
[40:58.040 --> 41:03.040]  So file a criminal complaint with the mayor.
[41:03.040 --> 41:04.040]  With the mayor?
[41:04.040 --> 41:08.040]  The mayor, he's a magistrate.
[41:08.040 --> 41:11.040]  And what the mayor's going to do is say, oh, you can't do that to me.
[41:11.040 --> 41:13.040]  You'll have to take that to the police department.
[41:13.040 --> 41:16.040]  You tell him, no, I'm giving it to you.
[41:16.040 --> 41:21.040]  You need it to be complete in accordance with 15.05 Code of Criminal Procedure.
[41:21.040 --> 41:28.040]  And if you look on my website, you'll find a criminal complaint blank.
[41:28.040 --> 41:32.040]  And that is complete in accordance with 15.05 Code of Criminal Procedure.
[41:32.040 --> 41:36.040]  And then you take it down and sign it in front of a notary.
[41:36.040 --> 41:39.040]  Now, this is not complaining.
[41:39.040 --> 41:47.040]  This is a criminal accusation that's referenced in 20.09 Code of Criminal
[41:47.040 --> 41:52.040]  Procedure, says the grand jury shall examine into all criminal accusations
[41:52.040 --> 41:54.040]  that come to their knowledge.
[41:54.040 --> 41:57.040]  This is a criminal accusation.
[41:57.040 --> 42:02.040]  You present that to a magistrate that invokes his duty under Article 210,
[42:02.040 --> 42:07.040]  as a magistrate, to hold an examining trial under Article 211.
[42:07.040 --> 42:15.040]  If the magistrate fails to perform a duty, requires, fails to perform his duty,
[42:15.040 --> 42:20.040]  that's misfeasance in office, and in the process denies you and your right
[42:20.040 --> 42:25.040]  to petition the court for redress of grievance and equal protection of the laws.
[42:25.040 --> 42:28.040]  That's a violation of 39.03 Penal Code.
[42:28.040 --> 42:29.040]  It's a Class A misdemeanor.
[42:29.040 --> 42:35.040]  Then you take a complaint against the mayor to the district attorney,
[42:35.040 --> 42:38.040]  accusing him of official oppression.
[42:38.040 --> 42:43.040]  The district attorney said, I'm not going to give this to the grand jury.
[42:43.040 --> 42:45.040]  Wonderful.
[42:45.040 --> 42:50.040]  You filed against the district attorney for not putting the mayor in front of
[42:50.040 --> 42:54.040]  the grand jury, and all of a sudden the mayor is watching this turn into a
[42:54.040 --> 42:57.040]  debacle.
[42:57.040 --> 43:04.040]  Everybody's getting in trouble because they won't prosecute me.
[43:04.040 --> 43:08.040]  This, a good chance, especially in a small community, will get you some
[43:08.040 --> 43:10.040]  really good press.
[43:10.040 --> 43:16.040]  It will get the people asking some really hard questions.
[43:16.040 --> 43:21.040]  When are they planning on mailing out these mailers?
[43:21.040 --> 43:22.040]  In about a week.
[43:22.040 --> 43:28.040]  Okay, see, the thing is, Randy, he may have to file a petition for temporary
[43:28.040 --> 43:34.040]  injunction and attach a copy of the criminal complaint he files in order to
[43:34.040 --> 43:38.040]  get it stopped because we have to realize the goal here.
[43:38.040 --> 43:41.040]  We don't want these things going out in the mail.
[43:41.040 --> 43:43.040]  Right, she's right.
[43:43.040 --> 43:48.040]  A petition for emergency restraining order just might stop them in the tracks.
[43:48.040 --> 43:51.040]  All right, listen, Jim, hang on the line.
[43:51.040 --> 43:52.040]  We have some callers as well.
[43:52.040 --> 43:53.040]  Callers, just hang tight.
[43:53.040 --> 43:55.040]  We're going to get to you in just a moment.
[43:55.040 --> 43:56.040]  This is the rule of law.
[43:56.040 --> 44:02.040]  We'll be right back.
[44:02.040 --> 44:06.040]  Hi, this is Norman Horn from the UT Austin Libertarian Longhorns, and I want
[44:06.040 --> 44:11.040]  to invite you to the Students for Liberty Texas Conference on October 24, 2009,
[44:11.040 --> 44:15.040]  located at the Thompson Conference Center on the UT campus.
[44:15.040 --> 44:18.040]  We have a great lineup of speakers coming to teach you about the fundamentals
[44:18.040 --> 44:20.040]  of a free society.
[44:20.040 --> 44:24.040]  Speakers include Vice President of the Cato Institute Gene Healy as the keynote,
[44:24.040 --> 44:28.040]  renowned author and activist Mary Brewerd, and many more.
[44:28.040 --> 44:31.040]  To top it off, policy groups from all over Texas will be present for a
[44:31.040 --> 44:34.040]  roundtable discussion about local activism.
[44:34.040 --> 44:39.040]  Registration is just $10, plus an optional fee for lunch and dinner.
[44:39.040 --> 44:41.040]  For students, it's absolutely free.
[44:41.040 --> 44:47.040]  But registration is required, so go to our website at www.libertarianlonghorns.com
[44:47.040 --> 44:50.040]  for more information about how to sign up.
[44:50.040 --> 44:54.040]  That's www.libertarianlonghorns.com.
[44:54.040 --> 44:59.040]  Support peace and freedom and come to the Students for Liberty Texas Conference 2009.
[44:59.040 --> 45:04.040]  See you there.
[45:29.040 --> 45:33.040]  Okay, we are back.
[45:33.040 --> 45:38.040]  Okay, so Eddie, you had a couple of issues you wanted to address.
[45:38.040 --> 45:39.040]  Yes, I did.
[45:39.040 --> 45:45.040]  In the case of the ethics charge against you, Jim, the definition of person is
[45:45.040 --> 45:50.040]  not given anywhere in the entire election code, nor is the term person includes
[45:50.040 --> 45:52.040]  defined in the election code.
[45:52.040 --> 45:57.040]  Therefore, Chapter 311 government code definition applies, which means person is
[45:57.040 --> 46:03.040]  strictly a corporation, governmental agency, or some other type of legal entity.
[46:03.040 --> 46:06.040]  It is not you, yourself, or anybody human.
[46:06.040 --> 46:12.040]  The second thing is Section 255.003 of the election code specifically designates
[46:12.040 --> 46:16.040]  unlawful use of public funds for political advertising.
[46:16.040 --> 46:21.040]  An officer or employee of a political subdivision may not spend or authorize the
[46:21.040 --> 46:24.040]  spending of public funds for political advertising.
[46:24.040 --> 46:29.040]  However, this section does not apply to a communication that factually describes
[46:29.040 --> 46:34.040]  the purposes of a measure if the communication does not advocate passage or
[46:34.040 --> 46:36.040]  defeat of the measure.
[46:36.040 --> 46:38.040]  A person who violates this section commits an offense.
[46:38.040 --> 46:43.040]  An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor.
[46:43.040 --> 46:45.040]  Okay.
[46:45.040 --> 46:51.040]  Well, in those kind of scenarios, now I've read there's specific language that the
[46:51.040 --> 46:57.040]  DEC describes that would clearly make it political advertising.
[46:57.040 --> 47:03.040]  Now, I've read through the proposed brochure, and I don't see those statements
[47:03.040 --> 47:08.040]  there, but statements from the mayor in a letter at the front of it that talk
[47:08.040 --> 47:13.040]  about the City Council approved the use of cameras at the intersections that had
[47:13.040 --> 47:16.040]  high rates of crash due to red light runners.
[47:16.040 --> 47:21.040]  The intent of the City Council in this red light program has always been to
[47:21.040 --> 47:23.040]  improve safety, right?
[47:23.040 --> 47:30.040]  To me, those are not unbiased statements relating to the red light camera system.
[47:30.040 --> 47:32.040]  Inflammatory.
[47:32.040 --> 47:33.040]  Yes.
[47:33.040 --> 47:38.040]  Under a section labeled facts by the City of College System, by the way, this is
[47:38.040 --> 47:39.040]  all online.
[47:39.040 --> 47:44.040]  I've posted the entire complaint online, so the brochure is there and everything.
[47:44.040 --> 47:47.040]  54% decrease in red light crashes.
[47:47.040 --> 47:53.040]  The facts, and I attached the email here also, show that red light camera crashes
[47:53.040 --> 48:01.040]  from 2007 to 2008 were up 200% at the red light camera intersection at the
[48:01.040 --> 48:02.040]  college station.
[48:02.040 --> 48:03.040]  Okay.
[48:03.040 --> 48:04.040]  You've got them.
[48:04.040 --> 48:07.040]  You've got them right now.
[48:07.040 --> 48:10.040]  You have actual evidence of that.
[48:10.040 --> 48:12.040]  Section B applies.
[48:12.040 --> 48:15.040]  Well, I have the evidence.
[48:15.040 --> 48:19.040]  I've given the evidence over to the Ethics Commission.
[48:19.040 --> 48:22.040]  That's what conversations with them say.
[48:22.040 --> 48:24.040]  It's not the Ethics Commission that you have to go to.
[48:24.040 --> 48:28.040]  According to this, they have committed at a minimum a Class A misdemeanor.
[48:28.040 --> 48:33.040]  The communication does not factually describe the purpose of the measure.
[48:33.040 --> 48:40.040]  It contains falsified statistics in order to garner support for the measure.
[48:40.040 --> 48:41.040]  Correct.
[48:41.040 --> 48:45.040]  Therefore, it does not make a factual representation.
[48:45.040 --> 48:50.040]  That is in violation of Section B of 255.003 election code.
[48:50.040 --> 48:55.040]  Yes, this goes to a reasonable person standard.
[48:55.040 --> 49:02.040]  To go back to Dr. Graves, a reasonable person would look at this and read this
[49:02.040 --> 49:06.040]  as an advertisement in support of the measure.
[49:06.040 --> 49:12.040]  Absolutely, and I think that this is plenty of information right here to apply
[49:12.040 --> 49:16.040]  for a petition, to write up a petition for emergency restraining order
[49:16.040 --> 49:20.040]  to stop the mail out.
[49:20.040 --> 49:24.040]  Well, that is something I consider today.
[49:24.040 --> 49:28.040]  I realize I'm talking on the radio, those kind of things,
[49:28.040 --> 49:33.040]  but my approach to this has been transparency, right?
[49:33.040 --> 49:36.040]  You know, I'm just a citizen.
[49:36.040 --> 49:39.040]  I have those powers to petition the government,
[49:39.040 --> 49:45.040]  and the fight that I have been in with the City College Station,
[49:45.040 --> 49:49.040]  and I have, despite your assessment that I haven't been aggressive,
[49:49.040 --> 49:53.040]  maybe I haven't been aggressive to the level I need to be,
[49:53.040 --> 50:00.040]  but certainly through the use of Open Records Act, it is a tremendous tool.
[50:00.040 --> 50:04.040]  Anyone out there wanting to make change in your government should be exercised
[50:04.040 --> 50:08.040]  in that Open Records Clause every minute you possible can.
[50:08.040 --> 50:10.040]  Well, yeah, and remember, Jim, you know,
[50:10.040 --> 50:15.040]  whatever the ethics charges they're trying to bring against you is a separate issue
[50:15.040 --> 50:20.040]  from your fight and from what they're doing wrong in these mail outs,
[50:20.040 --> 50:25.040]  and so don't let that stop you from petitioning for an emergency restraining order,
[50:25.040 --> 50:28.040]  because, you know, first things first, there's an emergency here.
[50:28.040 --> 50:34.040]  We've got to stop these mail outs from going out, and so maybe we should focus on that.
[50:34.040 --> 50:37.040]  Would that be in a district court?
[50:37.040 --> 50:38.040]  Yes.
[50:38.040 --> 50:40.040]  Yeah, that would be in a district court.
[50:40.040 --> 50:42.040]  And let me apologize.
[50:42.040 --> 50:48.040]  If it sounded like I was in any way denigrating what you've done,
[50:48.040 --> 50:51.040]  I absolutely did not mean that at all.
[50:51.040 --> 50:52.040]  No way.
[50:52.040 --> 50:56.040]  The people that would actually do what you're doing are extremely rare,
[50:56.040 --> 51:02.040]  and I absolutely applaud what you're doing, and I understand from personal experience.
[51:02.040 --> 51:04.040]  I didn't take any offense.
[51:04.040 --> 51:09.040]  I just wish I would have known what I know now when I started.
[51:09.040 --> 51:16.040]  The thing I was suggesting is take the fight home.
[51:16.040 --> 51:18.040]  Take the fight home to the individuals.
[51:18.040 --> 51:22.040]  You start kicking them right square in their behinds,
[51:22.040 --> 51:27.040]  and when you said you were just a citizen, I bristled.
[51:27.040 --> 51:30.040]  Just a citizen?
[51:30.040 --> 51:33.040]  You're the baddest motor scooter in the neighborhood.
[51:33.040 --> 51:39.040]  Because you are a citizen, everybody answers to you.
[51:39.040 --> 51:45.040]  And that was the reason for my suggestion of going to the district attorney with complaints.
[51:45.040 --> 51:50.040]  We'd go to the mayor first and demand he do his job, and he's going to refuse.
[51:50.040 --> 51:54.040]  And then you go to the district attorney and ask him to arrest the mayor.
[51:54.040 --> 52:01.040]  That's when they figure out how bad news a citizen really is, when the citizen goes after them.
[52:01.040 --> 52:06.040]  And besides, this is fun.
[52:06.040 --> 52:12.040]  And then you take it to the civil side for the restraining order.
[52:12.040 --> 52:14.040]  That has to go in.
[52:14.040 --> 52:17.040]  That's got to go in if you want to stop those mailings.
[52:17.040 --> 52:24.040]  And you will find that generally district courts aren't like the lower-level courts.
[52:24.040 --> 52:30.040]  These guys are smarter, they've been around a while, and they're political animals.
[52:30.040 --> 52:35.040]  You go to a district judge with this, and he's going to recognize this as a political football.
[52:35.040 --> 52:44.040]  The first thing he's going to look at is what side of this football do I want to be on?
[52:44.040 --> 52:47.040]  And you want to convince him he wants to be on your side.
[52:47.040 --> 52:51.040]  Now here's another question for you, Jim, and regarding the ethics issues.
[52:51.040 --> 52:57.040]  Is there a way that you can modify or amend the charter of the Political Action Committee?
[52:57.040 --> 53:05.040]  I don't know exactly how all that works, but somehow change it so that it's a more general type of political action committee?
[53:05.040 --> 53:14.040]  There is a way to transmogrify or morph the committee into a general political action committee.
[53:14.040 --> 53:21.040]  But then you have a whole different set of rules that apply to a general in that.
[53:21.040 --> 53:27.040]  For instance, for a general PAC, you can't take an equivalent contribution.
[53:27.040 --> 53:29.040]  That's only for an S-PAC.
[53:29.040 --> 53:38.040]  Let's back up to the formation of this PAC to begin with.
[53:38.040 --> 53:45.040]  You went and filled out paperwork asking permission to do political activities.
[53:45.040 --> 53:47.040]  Am I correct in this?
[53:47.040 --> 53:52.040]  Well, you fill out a form reporting your activities.
[53:52.040 --> 53:56.040]  It's not permission to do the activities.
[53:56.040 --> 54:05.040]  Now, if you don't fill in the form, of course, somebody takes the effort to hire an attorney in Austin to do an investigation of you.
[54:05.040 --> 54:10.040]  Then, of course, they're going to realize that you didn't have a form in.
[54:10.040 --> 54:11.040]  Wait a minute.
[54:11.040 --> 54:17.040]  I think where Eddie's going is it's a person is the one who's required to do this,
[54:17.040 --> 54:22.040]  and you mistakenly filled this paperwork out thinking you were a person.
[54:22.040 --> 54:25.040]  That is absolutely correct.
[54:25.040 --> 54:27.040]  Again, we are back to the rule of rights.
[54:27.040 --> 54:37.040]  All political power is inherent in the people, and the government cannot change that period.
[54:37.040 --> 54:48.040]  Well, if nothing else, these are good pieces of data for the actual hearing with the Texas Ethics Commission.
[54:48.040 --> 54:55.040]  Well, the important one you're going to remember to support that is Section 29 of Article 1.
[54:55.040 --> 55:04.040]  The articles of this Bill of Rights is forever accepted from the powers of government.
[55:04.040 --> 55:10.040]  They cannot change them by legislative enactment in any way, shape, or form.
[55:10.040 --> 55:25.040]  I'm going to suggest to you that if you step up in front of this committee and you present the specter of a valid constitutional challenge
[55:25.040 --> 55:36.040]  that would have the effect of eliminating their position and who they are, you're going to get their attention.
[55:36.040 --> 55:44.040]  Yeah, and I'll say another thing about what you were saying about the contributions as far as the corporate.
[55:44.040 --> 55:51.040]  I mean, if a political action committee that's focused on one issue can only take $100 in contributions anyway,
[55:51.040 --> 55:53.040]  then what the heck does it matter?
[55:53.040 --> 55:56.040]  I mean, $100 is nothing.
[55:56.040 --> 55:57.040]  Right.
[55:57.040 --> 56:03.040]  So I would rather be limited to not taking contributions.
[56:03.040 --> 56:08.040]  It's $100 in currency, in U.S. currency.
[56:08.040 --> 56:11.040]  You can give a check for any amount you want.
[56:11.040 --> 56:14.040]  Oh, you can only get $100 in cash? Is that what you're saying?
[56:14.040 --> 56:16.040]  Cash, cash money.
[56:16.040 --> 56:17.040]  That's interesting.
[56:17.040 --> 56:21.040]  And somebody gave you $2,000 in cash that you had to return? Is that what happened?
[56:21.040 --> 56:22.040]  Correct, correct.
[56:22.040 --> 56:23.040]  Okay.
[56:23.040 --> 56:25.040]  Now, they gave me the money.
[56:25.040 --> 56:26.040]  I wrote the receipt out.
[56:26.040 --> 56:27.040]  Like I said, I wrote the receipt out.
[56:27.040 --> 56:28.040]  I deposited it.
[56:28.040 --> 56:32.040]  I talked about it on the radio just like we're having a radio program tonight.
[56:32.040 --> 56:35.040]  And, you know, I've given them the money back.
[56:35.040 --> 56:41.040]  You know, I've done everything anybody could ask somebody to get square with this.
[56:41.040 --> 56:45.040]  And those are just the facts of the case.
[56:45.040 --> 56:48.040]  But you understand what that means, don't you?
[56:48.040 --> 56:49.040]  No.
[56:49.040 --> 56:55.040]  It means that if someone was paying attention enough to file an investigation request against you,
[56:55.040 --> 56:57.040]  somebody's paying attention.
[56:57.040 --> 57:01.040]  And somebody's kicking behind.
[57:01.040 --> 57:04.040]  So I would be encouraged by that.
[57:04.040 --> 57:09.040]  Generally with me, everybody ignores me and hopes I go away.
[57:09.040 --> 57:12.040]  When they start jumping through hoops to give me a hard time,
[57:12.040 --> 57:20.040]  I just beat a case here in Travis County where the DPS came after me big time.
[57:20.040 --> 57:21.040]  Right.
[57:21.040 --> 57:25.040]  And I said, holy mackerel, I must have hit a nerve.
[57:25.040 --> 57:29.040]  Well, then World War II veteran told me, he says, you know,
[57:29.040 --> 57:34.040]  you could always tell when we're getting over the target because you start getting a lot of flak.
[57:34.040 --> 57:36.040]  Exactly.
[57:36.040 --> 57:41.040]  And been there, done that.
[57:41.040 --> 57:44.040]  Every tenth one is a streamer.
[57:44.040 --> 57:50.040]  And when you start seeing streamers, that means you're only seeing the tip of the iceberg.
[57:50.040 --> 57:52.040]  There's nine more out there.
[57:52.040 --> 57:55.040]  Yeah, there's nine more out there you're missing.
[57:55.040 --> 57:59.040]  So you're stepping on some big time toes.
[57:59.040 --> 58:05.040]  And this goes to show how powerful a single dedicated individual can be.
[58:05.040 --> 58:07.040]  And my hat is off to you.
[58:07.040 --> 58:08.040]  Absolutely.
[58:08.040 --> 58:09.040]  Great work, Jim.
[58:09.040 --> 58:10.040]  Thanks.
[58:10.040 --> 58:12.040]  Okay, Jim, do you have anything else for us?
[58:12.040 --> 58:15.040]  Do you want to hang on the line on the other side of the break?
[58:15.040 --> 58:21.040]  Well, if you think people are interested or have calls or whatever, I can hang on for a little bit.
[58:21.040 --> 58:22.040]  Okay, sure.
[58:22.040 --> 58:23.040]  I think they're interested.
[58:23.040 --> 58:24.040]  Yeah, I think they're interested.
[58:24.040 --> 58:25.040]  We've got some calls.
[58:25.040 --> 58:28.040]  We've got Marcus from New Mexico and Jeff from Texas.
[58:28.040 --> 58:33.040]  So callers, just stay on the line and we'll start taking calls on the other side.
[58:33.040 --> 58:35.040]  And Jim, you can stay on the line as well.
[58:35.040 --> 58:36.040]  Great, thanks.
[58:36.040 --> 58:37.040]  All right, we'll be right back.
[58:37.040 --> 59:01.040]  Rule of Law on ruleoflawradio.com.
[59:01.040 --> 59:04.040]  Activism, education, celebration.

[01:00:00.040 --> 01:00:05.040]  This news brief brought to you by the International News Net.
[01:00:05.040 --> 01:00:16.040]  The U.S. budget deficit is expected to hit a record $1.4 trillion in 2009, some $950 billion greater than last year's shortfall.
[01:00:16.040 --> 01:00:23.040]  The deficit resulted from declining revenues and increased spending stemming mostly from the financial stimulus package.
[01:00:23.040 --> 01:00:32.040]  Representatives Ron Paul and Alan Grayson are asking the Senate to hold off on Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's confirmation hearing
[01:00:32.040 --> 01:00:37.040]  until the Fed releases more information about its financial rescues.
[01:00:37.040 --> 01:00:41.040]  In a sign that more banks are under great pressure from the recession,
[01:00:41.040 --> 01:00:53.040]  34 financial institutions did not pay quarterly dividends in August to the Treasury on funds obtained under the Troubled Asset Relief Fund.
[01:00:53.040 --> 01:00:59.040]  Japan's new government is reviewing an agreement with Washington on U.S. military facilities.
[01:00:59.040 --> 01:01:08.040]  This is a follow-up to a campaign pledge to residents of Okinawa Island who have borne the brunt of the American presence for more than 60 years.
[01:01:08.040 --> 01:01:14.040]  Around 50,000 American troops are based in Japan, of which two-thirds are in Okinawa.
[01:01:14.040 --> 01:01:21.040]  Resentment against their presence has grown in recent years due to a series of crimes committed by service personnel.
[01:01:21.040 --> 01:01:32.040]  In February 2008, a case against a Marine accused of raping a 14-year-old girl was dropped after she withdrew the accusation, apparently to avoid the ordeal of a trial.
[01:01:32.040 --> 01:01:40.040]  The case revived bitter memories of the abduction and rape of a 12-year-old girl in 1995 by three U.S. servicemen.
[01:01:40.040 --> 01:01:46.040]  Katsuya Okada, the Foreign Minister, said he wants the American military to remain in Japan,
[01:01:46.040 --> 01:01:51.040]  but at a reduced level on the mostly southerly islands that include Okinawa.
[01:01:54.040 --> 01:01:58.040]  A year after Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac teetered on the brink of bankruptcy,
[01:01:58.040 --> 01:02:05.040]  industry executives and Washington policymakers are worried another government mortgage giant could be next.
[01:02:05.040 --> 01:02:12.040]  Problems at the Federal Housing Administration, which guarantees mortgages and low-down payments, are becoming so acute,
[01:02:12.040 --> 01:02:16.040]  some experts warn the agency might need a federal bailout.
[01:02:16.040 --> 01:02:23.040]  FHA Commissioner David Stevens assured lawmakers Thursday his agency would not need a bailout,
[01:02:23.040 --> 01:02:32.040]  but Stevens acknowledged that some 20 percent of FHA loans insured last year faced serious problems, including foreclosure.
[01:02:32.040 --> 01:02:40.040]  In the years since the government stepped in to rescue them, the companies have taken $96 billion from the Treasury and may need more.
[01:02:40.040 --> 01:02:47.040]  Since the bottom fell out of the mortgage market, the FHA has assumed a crucial role in the nation's housing market.
[01:02:47.040 --> 01:03:00.040]  Created to help lower-income and first-time buyers purchase homes, the agency now insures 5.4 million single-family home mortgages worth $675 billion.
[01:03:17.040 --> 01:03:27.040]  It's all according to the will of the Almighty
[01:03:27.040 --> 01:03:35.040]  I read his book and it says he cares not for the unsightly
[01:03:35.040 --> 01:03:42.040]  These warmongers come by that term rightly
[01:03:42.040 --> 01:03:48.040]  I won't pay for the war with my body
[01:03:48.040 --> 01:03:52.040]  Ain't gonna pay for the car with my money
[01:03:52.040 --> 01:03:55.040]  I won't pay for the fun with my body
[01:03:55.040 --> 01:03:59.040]  Their plans wicked and their logic shoddy
[01:03:59.040 --> 01:04:02.040]  Ain't gonna pay for the oil with my body
[01:04:02.040 --> 01:04:05.040]  I won't pay for the boys with my money
[01:04:05.040 --> 01:04:08.040]  Ain't gonna pay for the kids with my money
[01:04:08.040 --> 01:04:15.040]  All right, when we're fighting in our own war, it's such a peaceful feeling because we get to call the shots.
[01:04:15.040 --> 01:04:23.040]  And it's really true. When you're the plaintiff in a case, you've got so much more power and you really have the upper hand big time.
[01:04:23.040 --> 01:04:29.040]  So we are fighting in our own war. We're calling the shots. We're picking the fights this time.
[01:04:29.040 --> 01:04:36.040]  All right, we're going to start taking your calls in just a moment. Eddie, you had one more issue you wanted to address with Jim.
[01:04:36.040 --> 01:04:42.040]  Yeah, it's an argument that I started developing yesterday and worked on it today.
[01:04:42.040 --> 01:04:46.040]  I was going to discuss it with Randy pre-show, but didn't get the opportunity.
[01:04:46.040 --> 01:04:54.040]  And what I'm doing in the traffic material is I'm presenting the first part about how the right to travel is a right, and the courts have all said so.
[01:04:54.040 --> 01:04:58.040]  I'm presenting it from the perspective of making a legal argument.
[01:04:58.040 --> 01:05:02.040]  Well, one, the very first arguments I make is this. This is the statement.
[01:05:02.040 --> 01:05:15.040]  We the people also remind the court that the state is obligated by law to provide to the defense and to introduce to this court not only the evidence state intends to use to secure a conviction,
[01:05:15.040 --> 01:05:23.040]  but also any and all exculpatory evidence, law, statements, or testimony in its possession or within its knowledge.
[01:05:23.040 --> 01:05:36.040]  This includes the related and relevant state and federal statutes themselves and any and all case law interpretations thereof, as well as to ensure that any trial on the merits is fair and impartial.
[01:05:36.040 --> 01:05:39.040]  This is where I get the argument from.
[01:05:39.040 --> 01:05:43.040]  You go to Code of Criminal Procedure 1.03.
[01:05:43.040 --> 01:05:48.040]  Now, you know how the lawyers love to say, oh, well, we just have a completely different interpretation of the statutes.
[01:05:48.040 --> 01:05:50.040]  You don't understand the law.
[01:05:50.040 --> 01:05:53.040]  Well, this is what the law says.
[01:05:53.040 --> 01:06:06.040]  The object of this code, to make the rules of procedure in respect to the prevention and punishment of offenses intelligible to all persons whose rights are to be affected by them.
[01:06:06.040 --> 01:06:16.040]  Now, that means these things are written in straightforward enough English that everybody is supposed to be able to understand them, unless I have a misinterpretation of that also.
[01:06:16.040 --> 01:06:37.040]  Then you go down to number four, to bring to the investigation of each offense on the trial all the evidence tending to produce conviction or acquittal and to ensure in number five a fair and impartial trial.
[01:06:37.040 --> 01:06:50.040]  Now, tell me that does not say that the prosecution is obligated by law to provide you with every bit of the information that can convict you or set you free.
[01:06:50.040 --> 01:07:08.040]  Let me reference you to Article 2.01 under duties of officers, very first duty goes to prosecuting attorneys and it says it shall be the primary duty of the prosecuting attorney not to secure conviction.
[01:07:08.040 --> 01:07:09.040]  Exactly.
[01:07:09.040 --> 01:07:20.040]  But to ensure that justice is served he shall not secret evidence or witnesses that may show the innocence of the accused or mitigate the guilt of the accused.
[01:07:20.040 --> 01:07:24.040]  That is absolutely correct.
[01:07:24.040 --> 01:07:32.040]  And it is in paramateria with 103, 104, 105.
[01:07:32.040 --> 01:07:40.040]  So as you can see, they have to build your case for you as well as what you can produce out of it.
[01:07:40.040 --> 01:07:55.040]  If they know very full well that they are using in a statute in a manner other than the way it applies and it is written, they are in direct violation of their duty under the law because they are withholding information that would prove your innocence.
[01:07:55.040 --> 01:08:05.040]  And that goes to a statute every citizen should have memorized, 39.03 penal code.
[01:08:05.040 --> 01:08:18.040]  If a public official acting under the code of his authority exerts or purports to exert an authority he does not specifically have or if he fails to perform a duty he is required to perform.
[01:08:18.040 --> 01:08:32.040]  And in the process, denies a citizen in the full free access to enjoyment of right that is a class A misdemeanor in the state of Texas, he can get up to six months in the state jail.
[01:08:32.040 --> 01:08:46.040]  Any law, it says a law, if they violate a law relating to their office or exert or purport to exert an authority there do not expressly have.
[01:08:46.040 --> 01:09:02.040]  And that was my concern earlier when we were talking about defending ourselves and talking about what the state was authorized to do, or what the state was forbidden to do, it is what they are authorized to do that is important.
[01:09:02.040 --> 01:09:16.040]  If we keep 39.03 fixed in your mind, when I go into any governmental agency, I've got 39.03 fixed foremost in my mind.
[01:09:16.040 --> 01:09:20.040]  And just show me a spot where you stepped across the legal line.
[01:09:20.040 --> 01:09:28.040]  I think of it as letting your tires touch the yellow line.
[01:09:28.040 --> 01:09:32.040]  I got a feeling they swerved across the yellow line a couple of times.
[01:09:32.040 --> 01:09:35.040]  If they can do it to me, I can do it to them.
[01:09:35.040 --> 01:09:38.040]  And it is very powerful.
[01:09:38.040 --> 01:09:41.040]  That's when the worm turns.
[01:09:41.040 --> 01:09:54.040]  And if you go to the mayor with criminal accusations, see the mayor probably doesn't realize he's a magistrate.
[01:09:54.040 --> 01:10:09.040]  Nobody is. And when he refuses to examine into the sufficiency of the allegations you make, he fails to perform a duty he is required to perform, Class A misdemeanor.
[01:10:09.040 --> 01:10:29.040]  Well, yeah, I mean, absolutely. And when I was saying that about going to the law that prohibits them from using taxpayer money for partisan purposes or political purposes, I mean, that's just an added bonus because you get to show it from both sides.
[01:10:29.040 --> 01:10:30.040]  Precisely.
[01:10:30.040 --> 01:10:37.040]  Because that's just over the top in your face.
[01:10:37.040 --> 01:10:39.040]  Is this going to get fun or what?
[01:10:39.040 --> 01:10:43.040]  This is. I tell you what, it's an absolute.
[01:10:43.040 --> 01:10:55.040]  You know, I look at this and I look at the person I was on September 10th when my vehicle, I wasn't driving, but when my vehicle was photographed going through that intersection.
[01:10:55.040 --> 01:11:19.040]  And I, you know, if I had to say one thing to your listeners out there, to the listeners tonight, I would say, stop, stand up for your rights, stop right where you are and whatever cause you're thinking about or whatever challenges you're facing, you will be so excited about the way you feel a year from now if you start tonight.
[01:11:19.040 --> 01:11:24.040]  Stand up for your rights. I mean, it's a very invigorating process.
[01:11:24.040 --> 01:11:26.040]  Exactly.
[01:11:26.040 --> 01:11:29.040]  That's the only way we're free.
[01:11:29.040 --> 01:11:32.040]  We can, we live in a police state.
[01:11:32.040 --> 01:11:35.040]  But we don't have to be victims.
[01:11:35.040 --> 01:11:45.040]  Correct. Now, they smashed my face into a wall and knocked out one of my teeth, messed up my best suit, but I wasn't a victim.
[01:11:45.040 --> 01:11:47.040]  The fight was on.
[01:11:47.040 --> 01:11:55.040]  There's one thing I get to be certain of. You throw everything at me you got.
[01:11:55.040 --> 01:12:02.040]  And when you're done, win, lose or draw, you're not ever going to want to go there again.
[01:12:02.040 --> 01:12:22.040]  What I've always thought as far as like our founding fathers, you know, and I've got ancestors on both sides of my family that fought in the Texas Revolution for independence from Mexico, as well as in the Civil War on the South, and as well as the American Revolution.
[01:12:22.040 --> 01:12:38.040]  And what I've always thought is that in their dreams, they wish they could have given us freedom, but deep in their hearts, they always knew that the best they could ever hope for is to pass along the fight to us.
[01:12:38.040 --> 01:12:48.040]  Is that we could continue the fight, is that the fight would live from generation to generation, because the ones who want to inflict tyranny, they're just going to keep coming from every generation.
[01:12:48.040 --> 01:12:56.040]  And they have an agenda that goes way back for hundreds upon hundreds of generations.
[01:12:56.040 --> 01:13:06.040]  That's the New World Order. That's the Illuminati. They have a map. They have a game plan. They've got a timeline for generations and generations and generations.
[01:13:06.040 --> 01:13:13.040]  So they're going to keep coming, and they're behind their timeline. They're scrambling right now. You know, we can win this thing.
[01:13:13.040 --> 01:13:15.040]  Yes, and we're the reason.
[01:13:15.040 --> 01:13:20.040]  I think you guys might be the reason they're kind of coming off their timeline a little bit.
[01:13:20.040 --> 01:13:22.040]  They are absolutely coming off their timeline.
[01:13:22.040 --> 01:13:31.040]  The American Indian would say that this is the point. The point of being here is not to have an easy life.
[01:13:31.040 --> 01:13:41.040]  The point of being here is to grow in the Spirit, and the only way we can grow in the Spirit is by dealing with difficulty.
[01:13:41.040 --> 01:13:50.040]  They have a God that sets before them opportunity disguised as difficulty, and they revere Him for that.
[01:13:50.040 --> 01:14:00.040]  This is all opportunity, and I'm real pleased to hear what you said. This fight, no matter how difficult, it sets you free.
[01:14:00.040 --> 01:14:03.040]  All right. Well, what do you guys say? We go to some calls.
[01:14:03.040 --> 01:14:04.040]  Yes. Do it. Rock on.
[01:14:04.040 --> 01:14:12.040]  Okay. Let's go to Marcus in New Mexico who called in actually during Agenda 21 looking for us. We'll go to him first.
[01:14:12.040 --> 01:14:16.040]  Marcus, thanks for calling in and patiently holding what's on your mind.
[01:14:16.040 --> 01:14:21.040]  Hey, hey, Dad. I'm a first-time caller, so I'm a little nervous about all of this.
[01:14:21.040 --> 01:14:23.040]  It's okay. Go ahead.
[01:14:23.040 --> 01:14:29.040]  On September 7th, I got a speeding ticket. You were talking about the cameras, and this was with a camera.
[01:14:29.040 --> 01:14:37.040]  They gave me an option. I know I wasn't speeding. They gave me an option to mail a notice to request a hearing.
[01:14:37.040 --> 01:14:46.040]  I did that, and I just received a notice of pre-trial conference, and I have no idea what this means.
[01:14:46.040 --> 01:14:52.040]  They scheduled this for the 2nd of November, and this isn't a hearing. This is a pre-trial conference.
[01:14:52.040 --> 01:15:02.040]  This is in a civil matter. Where do I need to go with this? Do I need to just pay this thing, or do I need to fight this?
[01:15:02.040 --> 01:15:08.040]  They're probably trying to subpoena you to the court to talk to the prosecutor, which is illegal. That would be my guess.
[01:15:08.040 --> 01:15:11.040]  This is called let's make a deal.
[01:15:11.040 --> 01:15:16.040]  Yeah, but they can't subpoena you to talk to the prosecutor. They can only subpoena you to talk to the judge.
[01:15:16.040 --> 01:15:20.040]  Well, now, do be aware. This is a civil, not a criminal.
[01:15:20.040 --> 01:15:21.040]  Right.
[01:15:21.040 --> 01:15:23.040]  And then there shouldn't even be a prosecutor.
[01:15:23.040 --> 01:15:32.040]  There shouldn't be anything. He's not obligated under any circumstances to oblige himself to a contract, period.
[01:15:32.040 --> 01:15:39.040]  And that's the only type of thing they can do in a civil case. There has to be a contract to dispute.
[01:15:39.040 --> 01:15:42.040]  Have you filed any documents in the case?
[01:15:42.040 --> 01:15:44.040]  Not yet.
[01:15:44.040 --> 01:15:48.040]  Has the other side filed any documents in the case?
[01:15:48.040 --> 01:15:55.040]  Well, I don't know exactly what you mean by documents. They sent me a ticket from Arizona.
[01:15:55.040 --> 01:16:03.040]  Tickets different. If the other side hasn't filed any motions, you need to send back a letter saying,
[01:16:03.040 --> 01:16:12.040]  objecting to the pretrial conference, as there are no motions filed in the case, so there's nothing to converse about.
[01:16:12.040 --> 01:16:23.040]  Now, here's the other thing. Since we've been Agenda 21 and even we have discussed the credit card issue requiring the wedding signature,
[01:16:23.040 --> 01:16:30.040]  where is the contract, produce the wedding signature, show me where I agreed to any of this, why won't this work here?
[01:16:30.040 --> 01:16:36.040]  Same argument, same type of situation. It's still a civil thing.
[01:16:36.040 --> 01:16:43.040]  Civil is either a contract or they need a statutory obligation.
[01:16:43.040 --> 01:16:47.040]  Okay, listen, hold on the line, Marcus. We've got to go to break.
[01:16:47.040 --> 01:16:48.040]  Okay.
[01:16:48.040 --> 01:16:53.040]  Okay, we'll be right back. This is the rule of law. We've got Randy, Eddie, Deborah. We're here with Jim Ash.
[01:16:53.040 --> 01:17:00.040]  Marcus from New Mexico. Jeff from Texas is next. Callers, call on in. We'll be right back.
[01:17:00.040 --> 01:17:08.040]  You feel tired when talking about important topics like money and politics? Are you confused by words like the Constitution or the Federal Reserve?
[01:17:08.040 --> 01:17:09.040]  What?
[01:17:09.040 --> 01:17:13.040]  If so, you may be diagnosed with the deadliest disease known today, stupidity.
[01:17:13.040 --> 01:17:19.040]  Hi, my name is Steve Holt and like millions of other Americans, I was diagnosed with stupidity at an early age.
[01:17:19.040 --> 01:17:25.040]  I had no idea that the number one cause of the disease is found in almost every home in America, the television.
[01:17:25.040 --> 01:17:30.040]  Unfortunately, that puts most Americans at risk of catching stupidity, but there is hope.
[01:17:30.040 --> 01:17:36.040]  The staff at Brave New Books have helped me and thousands of other Foxaholics suffering from sports zombieism recover.
[01:17:36.040 --> 01:17:43.040]  And because of Brave New Books, I now enjoy reading and watching educational documentaries without feeling tired or uninterested.
[01:17:43.040 --> 01:17:50.040]  So if you or anybody you know suffers from stupidity, then you need to call 512-480-2503
[01:17:50.040 --> 01:17:55.040]  or visit them at 1904Guadalupe or bravenewbookstore.com.
[01:17:55.040 --> 01:18:01.040]  Side effects when using Brave New Books products may include discernment and enlarged vocabulary and an overall increase in mental functioning.
[01:18:01.040 --> 01:18:21.040]  Don't blame me Don't blame me
[01:18:21.040 --> 01:18:31.040]  Don't blame me
[01:18:31.040 --> 01:18:33.040]  Okay, we are back.
[01:18:33.040 --> 01:18:43.040]  We are speaking right now with Marcus in New Mexico about the red light camera issue going down in New Mexico.
[01:18:43.040 --> 01:18:47.040]  Randy, you had a comment for Marcus.
[01:18:47.040 --> 01:18:55.040]  Yes, if I read you right, you got the ticket and you heard what Jim is doing.
[01:18:55.040 --> 01:18:59.040]  And you'd like a way to fight this ticket.
[01:18:59.040 --> 01:19:03.040]  Well, it's on you, Randy. I'm sorry.
[01:19:03.040 --> 01:19:06.040]  Understand that.
[01:19:06.040 --> 01:19:09.040]  Devin, my is my levels up.
[01:19:09.040 --> 01:19:11.040]  Everything should be fine.
[01:19:11.040 --> 01:19:13.040]  Okay.
[01:19:13.040 --> 01:19:17.040]  If you have this ticket and you want to fight it.
[01:19:17.040 --> 01:19:18.040]  Right.
[01:19:18.040 --> 01:19:33.040]  The concern is, is you have a municipality on the other side that is looking at creating a tremendous amount of revenue in the form of an unauthorized tax.
[01:19:33.040 --> 01:19:35.040]  Absolutely.
[01:19:35.040 --> 01:19:39.040]  So when you go after them, they're going to fight you.
[01:19:39.040 --> 01:19:40.040]  Right.
[01:19:40.040 --> 01:19:45.040]  This is something Jim just alluded to, you know, he's given them a big fight.
[01:19:45.040 --> 01:19:50.040]  And it looks like it's a large fight over a minor issue.
[01:19:50.040 --> 01:19:52.040]  But it's not.
[01:19:52.040 --> 01:19:57.040]  It's an opportunity to gain back your liberty.
[01:19:57.040 --> 01:20:01.040]  I just got out of a fight where I just beat the DPS.
[01:20:01.040 --> 01:20:04.040]  They were trying to throw me in jail for six months.
[01:20:04.040 --> 01:20:07.040]  That was a pretty big deal.
[01:20:07.040 --> 01:20:11.040]  With yours, it's just a few bucks.
[01:20:11.040 --> 01:20:22.040]  So it is probably an opportunity to gain the most, the least expensive legal education you can ever get.
[01:20:22.040 --> 01:20:31.040]  A good fight with these guys over this will teach you a tremendous amount and give you tools to deal with these guys.
[01:20:31.040 --> 01:20:37.040]  When I'm driving down the street and those red lights come on behind me, my stomach doesn't turn over.
[01:20:37.040 --> 01:20:40.040]  I don't think, oh, my goodness, what's going to happen?
[01:20:40.040 --> 01:20:42.040]  What's going to happen?
[01:20:42.040 --> 01:20:45.040]  Say, Bubba, you want to give me some crapola?
[01:20:45.040 --> 01:20:53.040]  I will give you a fight you will not believe that I get to carry around with me.
[01:20:53.040 --> 01:20:57.040]  And I get it from fighting things just like this.
[01:20:57.040 --> 01:21:04.040]  That's what Jim mentioned earlier, that this is something he gained from this fight is to realize he can take these guys on.
[01:21:04.040 --> 01:21:08.040]  So whether you win it or not, they're going to lose.
[01:21:08.040 --> 01:21:09.040]  Absolutely.
[01:21:09.040 --> 01:21:12.040]  Well, see, I understand the criminal part of it, OK?
[01:21:12.040 --> 01:21:16.040]  If it stopped me to give me a ticket and, you know, I had to fight it in court, that's fine.
[01:21:16.040 --> 01:21:19.040]  But this civil thing, I'm at a loss at this.
[01:21:19.040 --> 01:21:22.040]  I don't understand it.
[01:21:22.040 --> 01:21:23.040]  You need to bring that to them.
[01:21:23.040 --> 01:21:32.040]  You need to demand to be faced by your accuser and let them try to explain why you don't have to be faced by your accuser.
[01:21:32.040 --> 01:21:36.040]  Well, the interesting thing is that at least you're in College Station,
[01:21:36.040 --> 01:21:42.040]  and it sounded like your ticket is from Arizona even though you're from New Mexico, correct?
[01:21:42.040 --> 01:21:46.040]  It came, well, it had City of Albuquerque on it.
[01:21:46.040 --> 01:21:47.040]  Oh, OK.
[01:21:47.040 --> 01:21:50.040]  Postmark was from Arizona.
[01:21:50.040 --> 01:21:51.040]  OK.
[01:21:51.040 --> 01:21:54.040]  So it was stopped, folks.
[01:21:54.040 --> 01:21:55.040]  Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[01:21:55.040 --> 01:21:56.040]  Am I hearing this correctly?
[01:21:56.040 --> 01:21:58.040]  He moved it to the federal court.
[01:21:58.040 --> 01:22:09.040]  You have, you're a city in your state attempting to collect a traffic ticket on behalf of a report from another state?
[01:22:09.040 --> 01:22:11.040]  Well, that's where the red light camera companies are in Arizona.
[01:22:11.040 --> 01:22:14.040]  Yes, that's where the red light camera company is.
[01:22:14.040 --> 01:22:15.040]  OK.
[01:22:15.040 --> 01:22:19.040]  So then the violation allegedly occurred in New Mexico where you are?
[01:22:19.040 --> 01:22:20.040]  Yes.
[01:22:20.040 --> 01:22:23.040]  OK, all right.
[01:22:23.040 --> 01:22:31.040]  Yeah, but since you have a letter from Arizona, now you have someone from another state involved.
[01:22:31.040 --> 01:22:37.040]  If you'll send me an email, I'll send you a federal removal.
[01:22:37.040 --> 01:22:40.040]  Yeah, that would really raise some eyebrows.
[01:22:40.040 --> 01:22:45.040]  He wants to move a red light camera ticket to the federal court?
[01:22:45.040 --> 01:22:46.040]  That would be a move.
[01:22:46.040 --> 01:22:49.040]  Oh, he didn't have an agent in another state.
[01:22:49.040 --> 01:22:50.040]  That's correct.
[01:22:50.040 --> 01:22:53.040]  If they cross the state boundaries, that's interstate commerce.
[01:22:53.040 --> 01:22:56.040]  That is a federal occupied area right there.
[01:22:56.040 --> 01:23:00.040]  Well, that makes it diversity jurisdiction.
[01:23:00.040 --> 01:23:07.040]  You have someone in another state prosecuting you for a violation in this state,
[01:23:07.040 --> 01:23:18.040]  and you have no power directly to pull that person from that other state and deal with him under your state law because they're in another state.
[01:23:18.040 --> 01:23:22.040]  That invokes federal jurisdiction.
[01:23:22.040 --> 01:23:23.040]  OK.
[01:23:23.040 --> 01:23:26.040]  That would jerk a knot in their shorts.
[01:23:26.040 --> 01:23:30.040]  That would definitely jerk a knot in their shorts.
[01:23:30.040 --> 01:23:37.040]  And I have a case I pulled down doing mortgage issues.
[01:23:37.040 --> 01:23:42.040]  But the first part of the case was a removal, and it was excellent.
[01:23:42.040 --> 01:23:47.040]  It includes all the federal statutes concerning removal.
[01:23:47.040 --> 01:23:53.040]  So if you'll send an email to Randy at ruleoflawradio.com, I'll send you that.
[01:23:53.040 --> 01:23:58.040]  I'll cut out that top half on removal and send it to you, and you have a look at it.
[01:23:58.040 --> 01:24:00.040]  It's pretty extensive.
[01:24:00.040 --> 01:24:04.040]  And you send that to them, they're going to swallow their gum.
[01:24:04.040 --> 01:24:10.040]  Yeah, I would love to be there when the municipal court judge opens that.
[01:24:10.040 --> 01:24:14.040]  Now, I don't know how much this is going to cost.
[01:24:14.040 --> 01:24:16.040]  I'm on Social Security.
[01:24:16.040 --> 01:24:18.040]  That's all I've got.
[01:24:18.040 --> 01:24:21.040]  Oh, you're the defendant.
[01:24:21.040 --> 01:24:24.040]  It doesn't cost you.
[01:24:24.040 --> 01:24:26.040]  It costs them.
[01:24:26.040 --> 01:24:29.040]  Yeah, you have to go down and just file the paperwork at the court.
[01:24:29.040 --> 01:24:31.040]  It doesn't cost you a dime.
[01:24:31.040 --> 01:24:43.040]  And also be sure and include a statement that you're going to be subpoenaing the judge as a witness.
[01:24:43.040 --> 01:24:46.040]  Oh, you're on Social Security?
[01:24:46.040 --> 01:24:48.040]  I am on Social Security.
[01:24:48.040 --> 01:24:53.040]  File a notice of indigency.
[01:24:53.040 --> 01:25:00.040]  Indigency doesn't mean that you're poverty-stricken or destitute.
[01:25:00.040 --> 01:25:07.040]  It only means that you don't have abundant available funds to pay these defense costs.
[01:25:07.040 --> 01:25:11.040]  So you declare you're indigent.
[01:25:11.040 --> 01:25:16.040]  And if they don't respond within 10 days, you're indigent, especially on removal.
[01:25:16.040 --> 01:25:21.040]  You do a removal to the federal court and file indigency in the federal court.
[01:25:21.040 --> 01:25:23.040]  And the court will approve it.
[01:25:23.040 --> 01:25:27.040]  If you're on Social Security, they'll approve it almost out of hand.
[01:25:27.040 --> 01:25:32.040]  That way it costs you nothing to do all of this.
[01:25:32.040 --> 01:25:40.040]  If these guys want to collect my red light ticket, it's going to cost them a fortune.
[01:25:40.040 --> 01:25:43.040]  Well, that was my intent.
[01:25:43.040 --> 01:25:46.040]  That was my intent.
[01:25:46.040 --> 01:25:47.040]  Good. That's how we do this.
[01:25:47.040 --> 01:25:50.040]  We don't do it by winning every battle.
[01:25:50.040 --> 01:25:53.040]  We can lose the battle and win the fight.
[01:25:53.040 --> 01:26:03.040]  If they give me a ticket for $50 and it cost them $10,000 to collect the $50, who won that one?
[01:26:03.040 --> 01:26:05.040]  Absolutely.
[01:26:05.040 --> 01:26:10.040]  Now, do be aware there's one drawback to that scenario.
[01:26:10.040 --> 01:26:16.040]  That also means they steal from us to make up that difference.
[01:26:16.040 --> 01:26:21.040]  Yeah, they steal from all the other people who are just sending in the $50.
[01:26:21.040 --> 01:26:22.040]  Right.
[01:26:22.040 --> 01:26:25.040]  Well, I don't feel sorry for them.
[01:26:25.040 --> 01:26:28.040]  That's unfortunate.
[01:26:28.040 --> 01:26:34.040]  Yeah, but eventually we put them out of business, though, so they can't steal anymore.
[01:26:34.040 --> 01:26:35.040]  Right.
[01:26:35.040 --> 01:26:42.040]  Then these guys have to go to these taxpayers and explain to them where all this money is going and why.
[01:26:42.040 --> 01:26:45.040]  It's the only way we're going to get this battle won.
[01:26:45.040 --> 01:26:49.040]  I agree we're fighting ourselves, but that's the way the system is set up.
[01:26:49.040 --> 01:26:59.040]  Well, Debra, all you're really doing is strengthening my option for a cheap way out and just buying a hunk of rope.
[01:26:59.040 --> 01:27:02.040]  Eddie.
[01:27:02.040 --> 01:27:05.040]  Okay, well, Randy, I will definitely send you an email.
[01:27:05.040 --> 01:27:08.040]  It will be there tomorrow.
[01:27:08.040 --> 01:27:11.040]  All righty, I'll get that back to you and have fun with it.
[01:27:11.040 --> 01:27:12.040]  Thank you so much.
[01:27:12.040 --> 01:27:13.040]  All right, thanks.
[01:27:13.040 --> 01:27:14.040]  I do appreciate it.
[01:27:14.040 --> 01:27:15.040]  Thanks, Marcus.
[01:27:15.040 --> 01:27:16.040]  Thank you all.
[01:27:16.040 --> 01:27:17.040]  Okay, good night.
[01:27:17.040 --> 01:27:18.040]  Good night.
[01:27:18.040 --> 01:27:19.040]  Okay, we're going now to Jeff in Texas.
[01:27:19.040 --> 01:27:20.040]  Jeff, thanks for calling in.
[01:27:20.040 --> 01:27:21.040]  Thanks for holding.
[01:27:21.040 --> 01:27:22.040]  What's on your mind?
[01:27:22.040 --> 01:27:23.040]  Yeah, hi, everyone.
[01:27:23.040 --> 01:27:24.040]  Great show.
[01:27:24.040 --> 01:27:26.040]  I had a comment and a question.
[01:27:26.040 --> 01:27:29.040]  First, what is this gentleman's website?
[01:27:29.040 --> 01:27:30.040]  I'd like to get involved.
[01:27:30.040 --> 01:27:37.040]  I had to sue a big corporation a few years ago here in the county courts, Travis County,
[01:27:37.040 --> 01:27:41.040]  and I couldn't believe the level of corruption at every level.
[01:27:41.040 --> 01:27:49.040]  I did it by myself, and I realized how invaluable a witness would have been to have around for all the games they try to play.
[01:27:49.040 --> 01:27:53.040]  I'd be willing to help this guy out if he has to come to Austin.
[01:27:53.040 --> 01:27:54.040]  Excellent, excellent.
[01:27:54.040 --> 01:28:00.040]  My webpage is civilviolation.com.
[01:28:00.040 --> 01:28:01.040]  Great.
[01:28:01.040 --> 01:28:08.040]  Then my question was, in the meantime, help patriots against these red light cameras.
[01:28:08.040 --> 01:28:10.040]  I guess I pose this to the host here.
[01:28:10.040 --> 01:28:20.040]  What if you registered your vehicle or signed your vehicle over to a common law trust that had no tax ID number,
[01:28:20.040 --> 01:28:29.040]  was not any type of corporate entity, would that help things at all against red light tickets?
[01:28:29.040 --> 01:28:34.040]  There's still going to be an identification number if you register the vehicle,
[01:28:34.040 --> 01:28:38.040]  and that's all they need to send the summons and the ticket.
[01:28:38.040 --> 01:28:40.040]  Who's the identification number?
[01:28:40.040 --> 01:28:45.040]  The owner of the vehicle is liable for the civil violation, not the driver.
[01:28:45.040 --> 01:28:48.040]  Yeah, whether they were the driver or not, that's what they're trying to implement.
[01:28:48.040 --> 01:28:53.040]  As Randy put it, it's a new status under law, crime by ownership.
[01:28:53.040 --> 01:29:00.040]  So if the vehicle is owned by a trust, who do they summon to court?
[01:29:00.040 --> 01:29:02.040]  I like this idea.
[01:29:02.040 --> 01:29:06.040]  It kind of creates the same problem.
[01:29:06.040 --> 01:29:13.040]  You've got this non-entity taking action against you,
[01:29:13.040 --> 01:29:17.040]  so you have the non-entity taking action against the non-entity.
[01:29:17.040 --> 01:29:20.040]  Good luck, Bubba.
[01:29:20.040 --> 01:29:21.040]  Just an idea.
[01:29:21.040 --> 01:29:23.040]  That's a good idea.
[01:29:23.040 --> 01:29:27.040]  I used to live in Belize or something.
[01:29:27.040 --> 01:29:28.040]  Thanks, guys.
[01:29:28.040 --> 01:29:29.040]  You all have a good night.
[01:29:29.040 --> 01:29:30.040]  Hey, thanks for calling.
[01:29:30.040 --> 01:29:31.040]  All right.
[01:29:31.040 --> 01:29:32.040]  Thank you.
[01:29:32.040 --> 01:29:34.040]  Thank you very much.
[01:29:34.040 --> 01:29:36.040]  All right, we've got Tim from Texas.
[01:29:36.040 --> 01:29:39.040]  You're up next on the other side.
[01:29:39.040 --> 01:29:42.040]  Jim, would you like to stay with us for a while?
[01:29:42.040 --> 01:29:43.040]  Well, if you guys want me.
[01:29:43.040 --> 01:29:44.040]  Sure.
[01:29:44.040 --> 01:29:47.040]  Okay, callers, if you'd like to call in and ask our guest a question
[01:29:47.040 --> 01:29:53.040]  or help him with his cause or ask us a question, 512-646-1984.
[01:29:53.040 --> 01:30:01.040]  We'll be right back.
[01:30:01.040 --> 01:30:04.040]  There comes a time in every patriot's life when they must ask themselves,
[01:30:04.040 --> 01:30:07.040]  will I sit idly by as tyranny engulfs the globe
[01:30:07.040 --> 01:30:10.040]  or will I do everything in my power to defend the freedom
[01:30:10.040 --> 01:30:12.040]  inherent in all men across the world?
[01:30:12.040 --> 01:30:15.040]  Will I give up hope in the face of seemingly impossible odds
[01:30:15.040 --> 01:30:18.040]  or will I use the intensity of the struggle ahead of me
[01:30:18.040 --> 01:30:19.040]  to strengthen my convictions?
[01:30:19.040 --> 01:30:23.040]  My name is John Bush and I've chosen to stand tall on the side of liberty.
[01:30:23.040 --> 01:30:25.040]  Many other patriots like myself have come together
[01:30:25.040 --> 01:30:27.040]  to call for a new Continental Congress.
[01:30:27.040 --> 01:30:29.040]  Just as our founders assembled before us,
[01:30:29.040 --> 01:30:32.040]  we too will gather to discuss the abuses of our government
[01:30:32.040 --> 01:30:34.040]  and what we can do to correct them.
[01:30:34.040 --> 01:30:36.040]  I'm asking for your vote and your support
[01:30:36.040 --> 01:30:39.040]  in being one of three Texans to represent our great state
[01:30:39.040 --> 01:30:40.040]  in this historic event.
[01:30:40.040 --> 01:30:43.040]  You can vote this Saturday, October the 10th, at Ruta Maya
[01:30:43.040 --> 01:30:46.040]  on 3601 South Congress Avenue.
[01:30:46.040 --> 01:30:48.040]  Anytime from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
[01:30:48.040 --> 01:30:51.040]  Again, that's Saturday, October the 10th, at Ruta Maya
[01:30:51.040 --> 01:30:53.040]  on 3601 South Congress Avenue.
[01:30:53.040 --> 01:30:56.040]  Go to GiveMeLiberty.org for more info
[01:30:56.040 --> 01:31:11.040]  and remember to always humanize, harmonize, localize.
[01:31:26.040 --> 01:31:31.040]  The wicked come with temptations
[01:31:31.040 --> 01:31:37.040]  They're trying to buy the whole place
[01:31:37.040 --> 01:31:42.040]  They want to force a new nation
[01:31:42.040 --> 01:31:48.040]  Because they've fallen from grace
[01:31:48.040 --> 01:31:53.040]  I will not drink from that cup
[01:31:53.040 --> 01:31:58.040]  I just got hacked out of way
[01:31:58.040 --> 01:32:03.040]  They got this problem they're dreaming of
[01:32:03.040 --> 01:32:08.040]  And I won't be the slave come what may
[01:32:08.040 --> 01:32:23.040]  Because I'm going to come back
[01:32:23.040 --> 01:32:26.040]  I'm going to come back
[01:32:26.040 --> 01:32:42.040]  I'm going to come back
[01:32:42.040 --> 01:32:44.040]  I'm going to come back
[01:32:44.040 --> 01:32:47.040]  You know me not to love myself before love anyone
[01:32:47.040 --> 01:32:50.040]  But it's time to tell them by example
[01:32:50.040 --> 01:32:53.040]  Remind them that they're black for us all
[01:32:53.040 --> 01:32:56.040]  The wicked come with confusion
[01:32:56.040 --> 01:32:59.040]  They're trying to keep us in fear
[01:32:59.040 --> 01:33:02.040]  They're trying to keep us in fear
[01:33:02.040 --> 01:33:05.040]  The wicked come with confusion
[01:33:05.040 --> 01:33:08.040]  They're trying to keep us in fear
[01:33:08.040 --> 01:33:11.040]  They're trying to keep us in fear
[01:33:11.040 --> 01:33:15.040]  They're trying to keep us in fear
[01:33:15.040 --> 01:33:20.040]  They're trying to sell us illusions
[01:33:20.040 --> 01:33:26.040]  I can't live like that here
[01:33:26.040 --> 01:33:31.040]  I cannot drink from that chalice
[01:33:31.040 --> 01:33:37.040]  Ain't gonna fall for that bait
[01:33:37.040 --> 01:33:42.040]  The wicked come with such malice
[01:33:42.040 --> 01:33:46.040]  It's not my face
[01:33:46.040 --> 01:33:49.040]  But I want them in me this time
[01:33:49.040 --> 01:34:12.040]  They're trying to keep us in fear
[01:34:20.040 --> 01:34:22.040]  I was just thinking, wouldn't it be really cool
[01:34:22.040 --> 01:34:24.040]  after you get done with all this stuff
[01:34:24.040 --> 01:34:27.040]  to do public information at Questra or FOIA
[01:34:27.040 --> 01:34:29.040]  asking for how much they spent
[01:34:29.040 --> 01:34:34.040]  trying to prosecute the case against you?
[01:34:34.040 --> 01:34:36.040]  Yeah, that would be good.
[01:34:36.040 --> 01:34:39.040]  That would just be kind of fun.
[01:34:39.040 --> 01:34:43.040]  But anyways, also just another topic here.
[01:34:43.040 --> 01:34:47.040]  I sent you, Randy and Eddie, I sent you guys the email
[01:34:47.040 --> 01:34:49.040]  and then with some questions to my state,
[01:34:49.040 --> 01:34:54.040]  rapid state senators about transportation code questions,
[01:34:54.040 --> 01:34:56.040]  about certificate of title and all that stuff.
[01:34:56.040 --> 01:34:59.040]  Yeah, is this Dr. What's His Name's Weisberg or whatever?
[01:34:59.040 --> 01:35:00.040]  Yeah, whatever.
[01:35:00.040 --> 01:35:02.040]  Well, anyway, he hasn't responded yet.
[01:35:02.040 --> 01:35:08.040]  But the office of my state senator called me at work this week.
[01:35:08.040 --> 01:35:10.040]  And they wanted to clarify the question.
[01:35:10.040 --> 01:35:16.040]  So, you know, basically instead of attacking the issue directly,
[01:35:16.040 --> 01:35:21.040]  I basically just stuck to the issue of trying to get them to clarify
[01:35:21.040 --> 01:35:23.040]  like you were talking about earlier, Eddie,
[01:35:23.040 --> 01:35:25.040]  about the definition of person.
[01:35:25.040 --> 01:35:28.040]  So, you know, this kind of gave me an opportunity
[01:35:28.040 --> 01:35:30.040]  to get them fishing for me a little bit
[01:35:30.040 --> 01:35:32.040]  and see if they're going to respond.
[01:35:32.040 --> 01:35:35.040]  But I was mainly trying to find out if they would confirm
[01:35:35.040 --> 01:35:38.040]  that the interpretation that you guys have talked about
[01:35:38.040 --> 01:35:41.040]  and that I keep talking with other people about,
[01:35:41.040 --> 01:35:45.040]  that that person, the definition of person from 311 Government Code
[01:35:45.040 --> 01:35:48.040]  goes over and covers all these other codes that are covered
[01:35:48.040 --> 01:35:50.040]  by the Code Construction Act.
[01:35:50.040 --> 01:35:52.040]  I'm just trying to get them to actually confirm it
[01:35:52.040 --> 01:35:54.040]  and give me something in writing to that effect.
[01:35:54.040 --> 01:35:57.040]  So we'll wait and hear back from that.
[01:35:57.040 --> 01:36:00.040]  That would be an interesting thing for them to try to deny
[01:36:00.040 --> 01:36:05.040]  since the code itself says it applies to all codes in Texas,
[01:36:05.040 --> 01:36:08.040]  unless specifically stated otherwise.
[01:36:08.040 --> 01:36:11.040]  And, Randy, what was that section that Cherokee County is trying
[01:36:11.040 --> 01:36:19.040]  to charge you under that specifically has that in it, 17-1?
[01:36:19.040 --> 01:36:21.040]  Randy?
[01:36:21.040 --> 01:36:23.040]  Oh, I don't remember.
[01:36:23.040 --> 01:36:26.040]  I'm trying to remember the actual designation.
[01:36:26.040 --> 01:36:31.040]  It was in the Professional Conduct Code.
[01:36:31.040 --> 01:36:35.040]  It was operating and investigating business without a license.
[01:36:35.040 --> 01:36:38.040]  Yeah, I think it's 1701 or 1709.
[01:36:38.040 --> 01:36:40.040]  Yeah, something like that.
[01:36:40.040 --> 01:36:45.040]  But in any case, that is the one place so far that I have located
[01:36:45.040 --> 01:36:49.040]  where it specifically states the definition of person
[01:36:49.040 --> 01:36:54.040]  in Chapter 311 does not apply to this chapter.
[01:36:54.040 --> 01:36:58.040]  Now, that right there tells me that this particular section of statute
[01:36:58.040 --> 01:37:01.040]  knows when it does and when it doesn't.
[01:37:01.040 --> 01:37:07.040]  If the rest of them deny it, then they accept it.
[01:37:07.040 --> 01:37:11.040]  Eddie, where was that?
[01:37:11.040 --> 01:37:12.040]  Say that again?
[01:37:12.040 --> 01:37:13.040]  Where was that, Eddie?
[01:37:13.040 --> 01:37:15.040]  Where did you find that definition?
[01:37:15.040 --> 01:37:21.040]  Just search for the term investigation company
[01:37:21.040 --> 01:37:22.040]  or professional investigation.
[01:37:22.040 --> 01:37:24.040]  I think it's 1701.
[01:37:24.040 --> 01:37:26.040]  Yeah.
[01:37:26.040 --> 01:37:29.040]  What they charged me under was 1701.388.
[01:37:29.040 --> 01:37:35.040]  But it was Chapter 1701 in the Occupations Code.
[01:37:35.040 --> 01:37:38.040]  Okay.
[01:37:38.040 --> 01:37:40.040]  Okay, just another little update.
[01:37:40.040 --> 01:37:44.040]  I called in before about sending in a FOIA request to the GSA
[01:37:44.040 --> 01:37:46.040]  for federal jurisdiction.
[01:37:46.040 --> 01:37:48.040]  I just want to let you guys know I've gotten a response
[01:37:48.040 --> 01:37:51.040]  and a letter back from them already asking for clarification,
[01:37:51.040 --> 01:37:52.040]  and I emailed that in.
[01:37:52.040 --> 01:37:56.040]  That's where I'm asking for a list of federal properties in Texas
[01:37:56.040 --> 01:37:58.040]  and the level of type of jurisdiction.
[01:37:58.040 --> 01:38:01.040]  So that request is still in process
[01:38:01.040 --> 01:38:04.040]  and is scheduled to be done by the end of the month.
[01:38:04.040 --> 01:38:05.040]  I'll report that in.
[01:38:05.040 --> 01:38:10.040]  It is specifically asked for those seated by the state, right?
[01:38:10.040 --> 01:38:11.040]  Yes.
[01:38:11.040 --> 01:38:13.040]  Okay.
[01:38:13.040 --> 01:38:14.040]  Yeah.
[01:38:14.040 --> 01:38:15.040]  Wonderful.
[01:38:15.040 --> 01:38:19.040]  And I'm sorry, anything else on that one?
[01:38:19.040 --> 01:38:20.040]  We already know.
[01:38:20.040 --> 01:38:24.040]  Deborah has already pretty well went through the archives
[01:38:24.040 --> 01:38:29.040]  and found that the only two properties seated by the state
[01:38:29.040 --> 01:38:33.040]  to the federal government are two federal prisons.
[01:38:33.040 --> 01:38:34.040]  Okay.
[01:38:34.040 --> 01:38:39.040]  Now, how does that affect the federal court downtown?
[01:38:39.040 --> 01:38:45.040]  Well, how it affects them, they still have jurisdiction to hold court,
[01:38:45.040 --> 01:38:53.040]  but the state itself has criminal jurisdiction over the property.
[01:38:53.040 --> 01:38:57.040]  You remember a long time ago there was a movie called Presidio.
[01:38:57.040 --> 01:38:58.040]  Okay.
[01:38:58.040 --> 01:39:05.040]  And a local sheriff came onto the Presidio to investigate a murder.
[01:39:05.040 --> 01:39:09.040]  And that was because the property the Presidio was on,
[01:39:09.040 --> 01:39:12.040]  while it was occupied by the federal government,
[01:39:12.040 --> 01:39:15.040]  had not been seated to the federal government,
[01:39:15.040 --> 01:39:19.040]  therefore the local authority still had jurisdiction.
[01:39:19.040 --> 01:39:23.040]  And that's the same place in these courts.
[01:39:23.040 --> 01:39:26.040]  Now, a lot of these guys in legal reform are trying to say
[01:39:26.040 --> 01:39:28.040]  that the court doesn't have jurisdiction to hold court.
[01:39:28.040 --> 01:39:29.040]  Well, that's nonsense.
[01:39:29.040 --> 01:39:30.040]  Of course they do.
[01:39:30.040 --> 01:39:31.040]  Yeah.
[01:39:31.040 --> 01:39:33.040]  Was that that movie with Sean Connery?
[01:39:33.040 --> 01:39:34.040]  Yes.
[01:39:34.040 --> 01:39:35.040]  Okay.
[01:39:35.040 --> 01:39:43.040]  Now, that specific section is Section 1702.002, sub item 16.
[01:39:43.040 --> 01:39:48.040]  Person includes an individual firm, association, company, partnership,
[01:39:48.040 --> 01:39:52.040]  corporation, nonprofit organization, institution, or similar entity.
[01:39:52.040 --> 01:39:59.040]  Section 311.0052, government code, does not apply to this subdivision.
[01:39:59.040 --> 01:40:04.040]  And, of course, that is the definition of person under the government code.
[01:40:04.040 --> 01:40:09.040]  But then again, under 311 it has essentially the same definition, doesn't it?
[01:40:09.040 --> 01:40:13.040]  Yes, it does, except for the individual part.
[01:40:13.040 --> 01:40:20.040]  And there specifically inserts governmental entity.
[01:40:20.040 --> 01:40:21.040]  Hey, Eddie.
[01:40:21.040 --> 01:40:26.040]  Have you looked at that at the very bottom of 311 in the government code
[01:40:26.040 --> 01:40:30.040]  where it talks about sovereign immunity?
[01:40:30.040 --> 01:40:37.040]  Because there's a reference there to person and how it's used in statute.
[01:40:37.040 --> 01:40:40.040]  At the very bottom of 311?
[01:40:40.040 --> 01:40:41.040]  Yeah, at the very bottom of 311.
[01:40:41.040 --> 01:40:42.040]  I don't know if you got it up.
[01:40:42.040 --> 01:40:45.040]  I'm trying to pull it up now.
[01:40:45.040 --> 01:40:54.040]  But it talks about the use of person and how it's used in statutes.
[01:40:54.040 --> 01:40:56.040]  Oh, darn, I wish I had it up here.
[01:40:56.040 --> 01:40:58.040]  You're not talking about includes and including, are you?
[01:40:58.040 --> 01:41:01.040]  No, no, no, no, not at all.
[01:41:01.040 --> 01:41:02.040]  Okay.
[01:41:02.040 --> 01:41:04.040]  Hang on, I've almost got it up here.
[01:41:04.040 --> 01:41:07.040]  Get up there.
[01:41:07.040 --> 01:41:12.040]  Okay, it's Section 311.034, waiver of sovereign immunity.
[01:41:12.040 --> 01:41:17.040]  And the second sentence says, in a statute, the use of person,
[01:41:17.040 --> 01:41:23.040]  as defined by 311.005, to include government entities does not indicate
[01:41:23.040 --> 01:41:26.040]  legislative intent to waive sovereign immunity.
[01:41:26.040 --> 01:41:29.040]  So basically what I'm saying is in a statute, meaning a statute,
[01:41:29.040 --> 01:41:32.040]  I guess I mean any statute that's covered by this chapter,
[01:41:32.040 --> 01:41:36.040]  which is all the transportation code and others,
[01:41:36.040 --> 01:41:40.040]  that seems to me to be implying that the use of person,
[01:41:40.040 --> 01:41:45.040]  as defined in 311.005, covers all those statutes.
[01:41:45.040 --> 01:41:47.040]  Do you agree with that or?
[01:41:47.040 --> 01:41:52.040]  Well, yeah, 311.005 is very specific.
[01:41:52.040 --> 01:41:57.040]  The following definitions apply unless the statute,
[01:41:57.040 --> 01:42:00.040]  now that doesn't specify any particular statute.
[01:42:00.040 --> 01:42:02.040]  That covers all of them.
[01:42:02.040 --> 01:42:08.040]  Or context in which the word or phrase is used requires a different definition.
[01:42:08.040 --> 01:42:16.040]  And here in 311.0052, person includes corporation, organization,
[01:42:16.040 --> 01:42:21.040]  government or governmental subdivision or agency, business trust,
[01:42:21.040 --> 01:42:27.040]  a state trust, partnership, association, and any other legal entity.
[01:42:27.040 --> 01:42:32.040]  Because government or governmental subdivision or agency is included in that,
[01:42:32.040 --> 01:42:36.040]  that's the reason for that section you're reading.
[01:42:36.040 --> 01:42:37.040]  Right.
[01:42:37.040 --> 01:42:40.040]  Because we included ourselves and the definition of person does not mean
[01:42:40.040 --> 01:42:42.040]  that we're waiving immunity from suit.
[01:42:42.040 --> 01:42:43.040]  Exactly.
[01:42:43.040 --> 01:42:44.040]  Okay.
[01:42:44.040 --> 01:42:45.040]  I know we're almost out of time on the break here,
[01:42:45.040 --> 01:42:46.040]  so I want to get done.
[01:42:46.040 --> 01:42:47.040]  But I also want to let you know,
[01:42:47.040 --> 01:42:54.040]  you remember when Larry Bradshaw was on a couple weeks ago talking about IRS stuff?
[01:42:54.040 --> 01:42:58.040]  And Brandy, I said you and Eddie, my notes from that,
[01:42:58.040 --> 01:43:03.040]  along with the stuff from Document 6209, the ADP Manual?
[01:43:03.040 --> 01:43:07.040]  So I went in, last week I went into my local IRS office and started asking them
[01:43:07.040 --> 01:43:09.040]  questions about that.
[01:43:09.040 --> 01:43:14.040]  And after I asked them to print out of my IMF and they wouldn't give it to me,
[01:43:14.040 --> 01:43:17.040]  and then I asked them some questions about this ADP Manual,
[01:43:17.040 --> 01:43:23.040]  the guy's phone rang and he got yanked out of the cubicle.
[01:43:23.040 --> 01:43:25.040]  It was hilarious.
[01:43:25.040 --> 01:43:27.040]  Someone's listening.
[01:43:27.040 --> 01:43:28.040]  Oh, absolutely.
[01:43:28.040 --> 01:43:29.040]  Yeah, it was funny.
[01:43:29.040 --> 01:43:33.040]  I got my information and get out of there.
[01:43:33.040 --> 01:43:35.040]  I want to get off the line so that each of you can get other callers and stuff,
[01:43:35.040 --> 01:43:37.040]  but I wanted to thank you guys for everything.
[01:43:37.040 --> 01:43:40.040]  I'll follow up with more reports when I have more information on this stuff.
[01:43:40.040 --> 01:43:41.040]  All right.
[01:43:41.040 --> 01:43:42.040]  Thanks, Tim.
[01:43:42.040 --> 01:43:43.040]  All right.
[01:43:43.040 --> 01:43:44.040]  Thanks, Tim.
[01:43:44.040 --> 01:43:45.040]  Thank you, guys.
[01:43:45.040 --> 01:43:46.040]  Bye-bye.
[01:43:46.040 --> 01:43:47.040]  All right.
[01:43:47.040 --> 01:43:48.040]  And callers, we have an open phone board right now,
[01:43:48.040 --> 01:43:52.040]  so if you'd like to call in, 512-646-1984.
[01:43:52.040 --> 01:44:07.040]  We'll be right back.
[01:44:07.040 --> 01:44:12.040]  Aerial spray, chemtrails, the modified atmosphere,
[01:44:12.040 --> 01:44:14.040]  heavy metals and pesticides,
[01:44:14.040 --> 01:44:19.040]  carcinogens and chemical fibers all falling from the sky.
[01:44:19.040 --> 01:44:22.040]  If you have a choice to keep your body clean,
[01:44:22.040 --> 01:44:27.040]  detoxify with micro plant powder from hempusa.org
[01:44:27.040 --> 01:44:32.040]  or call 908-691-2608.

[01:44:40.040 --> 01:44:44.040]  Cleaning out heavy metals, parasites and toxins.

[01:45:01.040 --> 01:45:16.040]  Thank you.
[01:45:16.040 --> 01:45:31.040]  Thank you.
[01:45:31.040 --> 01:45:59.040]  Thank you.
[01:45:59.040 --> 01:46:01.040]  All right, we are back.
[01:46:01.040 --> 01:46:06.040]  Randy, Eddie and myself, Deborah, we're taking your calls.
[01:46:06.040 --> 01:46:10.040]  And Jim, Jim is going to sign off now, our very special guest.
[01:46:10.040 --> 01:46:13.040]  Jim, thank you for staying with us so long.
[01:46:13.040 --> 01:46:19.040]  Well, Deb, Randy, Eddie, it's always education when I come to the program.
[01:46:19.040 --> 01:46:23.040]  And once again, I appreciate the invitation back.
[01:46:23.040 --> 01:46:28.040]  If anybody out there wants additional information, I have my web page.
[01:46:28.040 --> 01:46:32.040]  You can always hit my web page at civilviolation.com.
[01:46:32.040 --> 01:46:37.040]  When you receive a red light camera ticket, it's a civil violation in the state of Texas.
[01:46:37.040 --> 01:46:45.040]  So hit civilviolation.com and read up on our continuing struggle for liberty here in College Station.
[01:46:45.040 --> 01:46:46.040]  Absolutely.
[01:46:45.040 --> 01:46:46.040]  Thanks, folks.
[01:46:46.040 --> 01:46:47.040]  Thank you so much.
[01:46:47.040 --> 01:46:53.040]  Support Jim's cause because it could be a cause that's coming to your hometown soon.
[01:46:53.040 --> 01:46:55.040]  Okay, we've got a couple of callers.
[01:46:55.040 --> 01:47:01.040]  Jim, Kathy, just hang on the line because, Eddie, you had something you wanted to address first.
[01:47:01.040 --> 01:47:03.040]  Yes, something that I brought up to Randy.
[01:47:03.040 --> 01:47:08.040]  I found more of this while we were doing the research for the seminar.
[01:47:08.040 --> 01:47:13.040]  And basically we've had the discussion before where we've got the municipal court or the J.P.
[01:47:13.040 --> 01:47:19.040]  court stating that, you know, we only do things according to the way Chapter 45 says to do them.
[01:47:19.040 --> 01:47:22.040]  We can proceed on the citation alone and blah, blah, blah.
[01:47:22.040 --> 01:47:25.040]  And we don't have to have an examining trial and all this good stuff.
[01:47:25.040 --> 01:47:30.040]  Well, as usual, these people have not bothered to read their own rules.
[01:47:30.040 --> 01:47:35.040]  It is very clear, Code of Criminal Procedure, Title 1, Chapter 7,
[01:47:35.040 --> 01:47:40.040]  Proceedings Before Magistrates to Prevent Offenses, Article 7.13.
[01:47:40.040 --> 01:47:43.040]  When the defendant has committed a crime.
[01:47:43.040 --> 01:47:48.040]  If it appears from the evidence before the magistrate that the defendant has committed a criminal offense,
[01:47:48.040 --> 01:47:54.040]  the same proceedings shall be had as in other cases where parties are charged with a crime,
[01:47:54.040 --> 01:48:01.040]  which means everything that any other case involves when it involves a criminal charge, they're required to do.
[01:48:01.040 --> 01:48:04.040]  They can't sidestep it. They can't say it doesn't matter.
[01:48:04.040 --> 01:48:09.040]  The law specifically requires them to do the same thing.
[01:48:09.040 --> 01:48:13.040]  That includes all of the material in the Code of Criminal Procedure relevant to such a case,
[01:48:13.040 --> 01:48:19.040]  not just the portion they want to saddle you with and keep control of you with.
[01:48:19.040 --> 01:48:23.040]  So that was really the crux to the information that we had.
[01:48:23.040 --> 01:48:28.040]  And I wanted to get some discussion with Randy on that, but he didn't have time to do it the other day.
[01:48:28.040 --> 01:48:32.040]  So I'm hoping he's got time to do it now so we can all benefit.
[01:48:32.040 --> 01:48:47.040]  Yeah. Well, I hope I have something of benefit because Title 45 seems to just addresses specifically justice courts and municipal courts.
[01:48:47.040 --> 01:48:56.040]  Well, actually in reading 45, it only addresses justice courts.
[01:48:56.040 --> 01:49:02.040]  And the courts have held that it also applies to municipal courts.
[01:49:02.040 --> 01:49:10.040]  And this is an issue that he's brought up about where did municipal courts come from?
[01:49:10.040 --> 01:49:15.040]  For that matter, where did municipal police departments come from?
[01:49:15.040 --> 01:49:21.040]  What authority did they have to exist at all?
[01:49:21.040 --> 01:49:31.040]  It doesn't seem to be in the Constitution, but it's very clear by the reference in Chapter 7.
[01:49:31.040 --> 01:49:39.040]  And that surprised me because Chapter 7, I keep thinking Chapter 7 in the penal code, and that goes to culpability.
[01:49:39.040 --> 01:49:46.040]  So when Eddie brought that to my attention, I was frustrated
[01:49:46.040 --> 01:49:52.040]  because I clearly didn't know the code of criminal procedure as well as I thought I did.
[01:49:52.040 --> 01:49:55.040]  So now I'm going to have to go back and read it a couple more times.
[01:49:55.040 --> 01:49:57.040]  Thank you very much, Eddie.
[01:49:57.040 --> 01:50:00.040]  Well, you know, I do my best.
[01:50:00.040 --> 01:50:10.040]  But now the argument he's bringing up on the municipal police forces, this is also something that I got to researching when I was doing the traffic seminar material.
[01:50:10.040 --> 01:50:18.040]  And that is I was determined to correct a mistake that we have been making on the air with you guys.
[01:50:18.040 --> 01:50:25.040]  We have always discussed the sheriff's department as if it was an executive branch office.
[01:50:25.040 --> 01:50:29.040]  It is not an executive branch office.
[01:50:29.040 --> 01:50:34.040]  Under our state Constitution, the sheriff is a judicial officer.
[01:50:34.040 --> 01:50:41.040]  His office is defined and created in Article 5, which is the judicial branch.
[01:50:41.040 --> 01:50:50.040]  Now, in the entire Texas Constitution, the term law enforcement is mentioned
[01:50:50.040 --> 01:51:00.040]  only in conjunction with the mention of the sheriff, the deputy sheriff, and the constable, and the justice of the peace.
[01:51:00.040 --> 01:51:11.040]  Nowhere is there any mention of a municipal police force that is to be termed or engaged in law enforcement.
[01:51:11.040 --> 01:51:21.040]  There is no authority in the Constitution that creates a law enforcement agency known as the Department of Public Safety.
[01:51:21.040 --> 01:51:35.040]  It mentions by name an entity called the Department of Public Safety, but there is absolutely nothing in the language that I can find that creates the agency.
[01:51:35.040 --> 01:51:38.040]  There's no authority to create the agency.
[01:51:38.040 --> 01:51:40.040]  It's just simply named.
[01:51:40.040 --> 01:51:56.040]  Eddie, as far as the municipal police, is that not, do the municipalities not have authority to bring their own police force into existence under their charter with the state?
[01:51:56.040 --> 01:51:58.040]  Most certainly they would, and guess what?
[01:51:58.040 --> 01:52:09.040]  They would have just as much authority on city property as Joe Blow rent a cop in a warehouse for Coors Brewing.
[01:52:09.040 --> 01:52:14.040]  If their authority would extend to the limits of city property.
[01:52:14.040 --> 01:52:15.040]  Right. Oh, I see.
[01:52:15.040 --> 01:52:21.040]  But even so, that doesn't give them authority to enforce state law.
[01:52:21.040 --> 01:52:24.040]  That is correct.
[01:52:24.040 --> 01:52:31.040]  Joe Blow warehouse guy can't do it, not unless it's a felony or a breach of the peace committed in his presence.
[01:52:31.040 --> 01:52:36.040]  Therefore, the municipal police also fall under that same umbrella.
[01:52:36.040 --> 01:52:48.040]  But Joe Blow warehouse guy, if he observed a felony or breach of the peace, wouldn't arrest under any specific authority other than that of a sovereign citizen.
[01:52:48.040 --> 01:52:51.040]  That is correct also.
[01:52:51.040 --> 01:53:02.040]  So there is no specific authority beyond that of a sovereign citizen.
[01:53:02.040 --> 01:53:15.040]  So given that, you know, this makes it more and more clear that the term rent a cop for a municipal policeman is a lot more accurate than most people ever believe.
[01:53:15.040 --> 01:53:21.040]  Now if there's any of them listening, I'm sure that goes against the grain of everything you've been taught, but wise up.
[01:53:21.040 --> 01:53:26.040]  So you're saying that they don't have, you're saying they don't have the authority to enforce state law?
[01:53:26.040 --> 01:53:29.040]  Where would they get it? Where does it come from?
[01:53:29.040 --> 01:53:34.040]  Here's the problem.
[01:53:34.040 --> 01:53:37.040]  If you look at it from an organizational structure, here's the problem.
[01:53:37.040 --> 01:53:41.040]  And I write about this extensively in the seminar material.
[01:53:41.040 --> 01:53:58.040]  It is very simple and an axiomatic argument that if you do not have a specific power to do something yourself, you do not have the power to grant that authority to someone else.
[01:53:58.040 --> 01:54:03.040]  You can't give Randy authority to move into my house.
[01:54:03.040 --> 01:54:07.040]  You can't give Randy the authority to tell me what color I can paint my house.
[01:54:07.040 --> 01:54:09.040]  You don't have the authority to tell me directly.
[01:54:09.040 --> 01:54:13.040]  You certainly can't bequeath it on a third party to do so, right?
[01:54:13.040 --> 01:54:15.040]  Yo, Bubba, you don't know Debbie as good as I do.
[01:54:15.040 --> 01:54:18.040]  Oh, come on.
[01:54:18.040 --> 01:54:20.040]  Well, despite, but that would make her pretty much like the legislature.
[01:54:20.040 --> 01:54:22.040]  They do their best.
[01:54:22.040 --> 01:54:23.040]  And if they can convince you, great.
[01:54:23.040 --> 01:54:31.040]  But anyway, the point being that without that authority, I can't give it away because I don't have it.
[01:54:31.040 --> 01:54:36.040]  Well, if we didn't give it to the legislature, they can't give it to somebody else.
[01:54:36.040 --> 01:54:47.040]  And the only authority the people gave the legislature to create anything resembling law enforcement within the state constitution is the Office of Sheriff.
[01:54:47.040 --> 01:54:56.040]  Well, see, now, Eddie, that makes the whole term citizens' arrest take on a whole new meaning because now it would seem that when the local police or the local poe,
[01:54:56.040 --> 01:55:03.040]  as some people call them, arrest people for state crimes, they're really just making a citizens' arrest.
[01:55:03.040 --> 01:55:04.040]  But they don't treat it like that.
[01:55:04.040 --> 01:55:05.040]  No, of course not.
[01:55:05.040 --> 01:55:07.040]  Yeah, but they arrest for misdemeanors.
[01:55:07.040 --> 01:55:08.040]  That's right.
[01:55:08.040 --> 01:55:09.040]  Yeah, but I was talking for-
[01:55:09.040 --> 01:55:13.040]  A citizen cannot arrest for a misdemeanor unless that misdemeanor is a breach of the peace.
[01:55:13.040 --> 01:55:15.040]  Right, but I was referring to state crimes.
[01:55:15.040 --> 01:55:17.040]  But now here's the other thing.
[01:55:17.040 --> 01:55:20.040]  Randy threw this little nut into the bucket.
[01:55:20.040 --> 01:55:29.040]  If this is true in this interpretation in reading, then we have a problem with T-CLOS.
[01:55:29.040 --> 01:55:49.040]  Where does an agency created by the legislature, which has no such authority within the constitution to create such an agency, come off certifying other law enforcement officials that also there is no legislative authority to create?
[01:55:49.040 --> 01:56:11.040]  If the state government has no authority to create anything other than a county sheriff, not a state anything, but a county sheriff, then how can they grant authority to a municipality to create something the state itself has no lawful authority to do?
[01:56:11.040 --> 01:56:13.040]  It can't create one for itself.
[01:56:13.040 --> 01:56:18.040]  How can it give somebody else the authority to do it?
[01:56:18.040 --> 01:56:20.040]  Good question.
[01:56:20.040 --> 01:56:25.040]  Question I certainly want to ask public officials.
[01:56:25.040 --> 01:56:38.040]  Yeah, and Randy, we went into the discussion over the reading of the administrative code with the DPS and Chapter 411, which discusses what the DPS can and cannot do.
[01:56:38.040 --> 01:56:51.040]  And it turns out that the information in 411 goes hand in hand with what we determined in the administrative code that the DPS can investigate crime, but they cannot enforce it.
[01:56:51.040 --> 01:56:56.040]  They can enforce commercial traffic statutes.
[01:56:56.040 --> 01:56:57.040]  That's it.
[01:56:57.040 --> 01:57:01.040]  That does not make them a law enforcement agency.
[01:57:01.040 --> 01:57:06.040]  It makes them a meter maid.
[01:57:06.040 --> 01:57:35.040]  The law in the administrative code specifically says that the DPS can stop a motor vehicle entering or exiting a port or on any highway that is in violation of Article 6.41 or 04 of the Texas Transportation Code, which deals strictly and entirely with commercial activity.
[01:57:35.040 --> 01:57:41.040]  So, again, there is no law enforcement authority involved in that.
[01:57:41.040 --> 01:57:43.040]  That is commercial authority.
[01:57:43.040 --> 01:57:45.040]  That is civil in nature.
[01:57:45.040 --> 01:57:51.040]  Now, this creates a whole new black hole constitutional issue.
[01:57:51.040 --> 01:58:16.040]  If the argument now becomes one that is civil in nature, that means our attorney general has to be aiding and abetting criminal acts by writing opinions that state the term misdemeanor in the transportation code that does not specifically specify a criminal misdemeanor is being misinterpreted and applied as a criminal act when, in fact, it can only be civil.
[01:58:16.040 --> 01:58:22.040]  Oh boy, it just keeps getting worse and worse all the time.
[01:58:22.040 --> 01:58:27.040]  I'm going to have so much fun with this.
[01:58:27.040 --> 01:58:30.040]  I mean, it's like the bigger they come, the harder they fall, at least.
[01:58:30.040 --> 01:58:34.040]  I mean, they're breaking so many laws on so many levels.
[01:58:34.040 --> 01:58:37.040]  It's like how many different ways can we take them down?
[01:58:37.040 --> 01:58:38.040]  That's our fault.
[01:58:38.040 --> 01:58:50.040]  We have a couple callers. We've got Kathy and we got this damn guy. We have Jim from Texas who's been holding for quite a while. So we're going to go to Jim as soon as we get back on the other side, then Kathy, then Dan.
[01:58:50.040 --> 01:58:53.040]  We'll be right back. That guy for real.
[01:58:53.040 --> 01:59:00.040]  Absolutely.
