[00:00.000 --> 00:10.000]  A study published in the Lancet Journal Thursday says the cholera epidemic in Haiti could spread
[00:10.000 --> 00:14.040]  to nearly 800,000 people, double the UN estimate.
[00:14.040 --> 00:18.680]  The Lancet study says vaccinations, clean drinking water and antibiotics are the only
[00:18.680 --> 00:20.800]  way to prevent the disease spreading.
[00:20.800 --> 00:27.440]  The study predicts 779,000 Haitians will contract the disease, leading to 11,100 deaths in the
[00:27.440 --> 00:30.480]  next eight months.
[00:30.480 --> 00:35.560]  Tunisians marched in Tunis under tight security Wednesday to protest U.S. Secretary of State
[00:35.560 --> 00:40.400]  Hillary Clinton's visit, chanting, quote, Tunisia is free and not for sale.
[00:40.400 --> 00:48.480]  Between 1987 and 2009, the U.S. military sold $349 million worth of arms to recently deposed
[00:48.480 --> 00:50.360]  President Ben Ali's government.
[00:50.360 --> 00:56.480]  Last year, the Obama administration asked Congress to approve a $280 million sale of
[00:56.480 --> 01:00.720]  12 military helicopters to Tunisia.
[01:00.720 --> 01:05.040]  The U.K. Guardian reported Thursday the U.S. military is developing software that will
[01:05.040 --> 01:11.040]  let it secretly manipulate social media using fake online identities designed to influence
[01:11.040 --> 01:15.240]  Internet conversations and spread pro-U.S. propaganda.
[01:15.240 --> 01:20.320]  A California company has been awarded a contract with the U.S. Central Command to develop an
[01:20.320 --> 01:25.600]  online persona management service that will allow one service member to control up to
[01:25.600 --> 01:29.360]  10 separate identities at a time.
[01:29.360 --> 01:35.640]  A U.N. forecast for the movement of the radioactive plume coming from crippled Japanese reactors
[01:35.640 --> 01:39.520]  shows it will hit Southern California late Friday.
[01:39.520 --> 01:44.680]  Health and nuclear experts emphasize that radiation in the plume will be diluted and,
[01:44.680 --> 01:49.400]  at worse, would have extremely minor health consequences in the U.S.
[01:49.400 --> 01:55.000]  The projection by the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization, an arm of the U.N., gave
[01:55.000 --> 02:00.440]  no information about actual radiation levels, but only showed how a radioactive plume would
[02:00.440 --> 02:02.640]  probably move and disperse.
[02:02.640 --> 02:07.560]  The test ban treaty group has more than 60 stations that sniff the air for radiation
[02:07.560 --> 02:13.600]  spikes and uses weather forecasts and powerful computers to model the transport of radiation
[02:13.600 --> 02:16.320]  on the winds.
[02:16.320 --> 02:21.400]  In Manama, Bahrain, at least three demonstrators were killed Wednesday, more than 1,000 injured
[02:21.400 --> 02:25.880]  and several opposition leaders and activists arrested following a violent crackdown on
[02:25.880 --> 02:27.680]  anti-government protests.
[02:27.680 --> 02:31.840]  Bahrain state television reported leaders of the civil strife had been arrested for
[02:31.840 --> 02:37.040]  communicating with foreign countries and inciting murder and destruction of property.
[02:37.040 --> 02:40.320]  Soldiers took opposition figures into custody without warning.
[02:40.320 --> 02:44.640]  Protesters ignored warnings Thursday to stay home and gathered in Deir and Jiddaf just
[02:44.640 --> 02:45.880]  outside Manama.
[02:45.880 --> 02:52.880]  They were violently dispersed by security forces.
[03:16.880 --> 03:23.880]  Bad boys, whatcha gonna do?
[03:23.880 --> 03:29.880]  Bad boys, what you want, what you want, what you gonna do?
[03:29.880 --> 03:33.880]  We wish every son broke good for you
[03:34.880 --> 03:40.880]  Tell me, what you gonna do, what you gonna do?
[03:42.880 --> 03:48.880]  Bad boys, bad boys, what you gonna do, what you gonna do when they come for you?
[03:48.880 --> 03:54.880]  Bad boys, bad boys, what you gonna do what you gonna do when they come for you?
[03:54.880 --> 03:59.880]  When you were eight and you had bad trades You'd go to school and learn the Golden Rule
[03:59.880 --> 04:04.880]  So why are you acting like a bloody fool? If you get high you must get crewed
[04:04.880 --> 04:10.880]  Bad boys, bad boys, what you gonna do, what you gonna do when they come for you?
[04:10.880 --> 04:16.880]  Bad boys, bad boys, what you gonna do, what you gonna do when they come for you?
[04:16.880 --> 04:19.480]  You chuck it on that one, you chuck it on this one.
[04:19.480 --> 04:22.280]  You chuck it on your mother and you chuck it on your father.
[04:22.280 --> 04:24.980]  You chuck it on your brother and you chuck it on your sister.
[04:24.980 --> 04:27.580]  You chuck it on that one and you chuck it on me.
[04:27.580 --> 04:28.980]  Bad boys, bad boys.
[04:28.980 --> 04:30.380]  All right, folks, good evening.
[04:30.380 --> 04:35.080]  This is Rule is All Radio with Eddie Craig, Randy Kelton, Deborah Stevens.
[04:35.080 --> 04:41.780]  Tonight is March 17, 2011, Thursday night.
[04:41.780 --> 04:44.980]  Generally, we have open mic night on Thursdays and Fridays.
[04:44.980 --> 04:47.780]  We don't have a guest schedule for tonight, so when we open up the phone lines,
[04:47.780 --> 04:49.780]  please feel free to call in.
[04:49.780 --> 04:52.680]  Randy is off tonight and is not available.
[04:52.680 --> 04:55.980]  So if you do have any mortgage questions or things of that nature,
[04:55.980 --> 05:01.180]  please wait for tomorrow night and we'll see if we can get to them then.
[05:01.180 --> 05:03.680]  Otherwise, anything else that you've got in the works,
[05:03.680 --> 05:05.980]  we'll be able to talk to you about and go on.
[05:05.980 --> 05:09.980]  Now, one of the first things I'd like to announce tonight is that this Saturday
[05:09.980 --> 05:14.280]  at Brave New Books, we'll be holding our seminar at the same time as normal,
[05:14.280 --> 05:15.480]  3 to 6.
[05:15.480 --> 05:21.580]  We will, however, be in the libertarian room, not in the main room where we normally are.
[05:21.580 --> 05:26.980]  We will be conducting mock trial proceedings so that people will get some idea
[05:26.980 --> 05:33.580]  of actually what it's like in the courtroom, how to ask questions during examination
[05:33.580 --> 05:36.980]  of witnesses or cross-examination, how to tell the difference,
[05:36.980 --> 05:39.780]  what is the difference, and so on and so forth.
[05:39.780 --> 05:44.880]  We'll try to give you the kind of education you don't want to have to get on the fly.
[05:44.880 --> 05:46.280]  All right?
[05:46.280 --> 05:52.280]  Now, as far as the news that's going on this week, one of the things that I am doing is
[05:52.280 --> 05:56.480]  I am currently in the process of trying to update to revision 4
[05:56.480 --> 05:59.280]  of the traffic seminar book for the seminar material.
[05:59.280 --> 06:02.880]  One of the main reasons I wish to do that is for the meeting that I'm trying
[06:02.880 --> 06:08.080]  to still get scheduled with the state representatives that I've been trying to get back
[06:08.080 --> 06:11.680]  in touch with so that we can get these issues covered with them.
[06:11.680 --> 06:17.680]  And as well as the traffic issues, I fully intend to be going in and taking the due process issues
[06:17.680 --> 06:25.680]  that are being ignored by the courts and the prosecutors from the Code of Criminal Procedure.
[06:25.680 --> 06:32.580]  What I'm going to try to do is to get these gentlemen to co-sponsor the bill that I am writing
[06:32.580 --> 06:40.080]  that will institute a citizens grand jury in Texas for the express purpose of looking
[06:40.080 --> 06:43.780]  into criminal complaints against public servants.
[06:43.780 --> 06:47.780]  There will be no governmental intervention in this grand jury.
[06:47.780 --> 06:55.180]  No governmental employee or attorney shall be allowed to participate in this grand jury.
[06:55.180 --> 07:01.380]  This shall be strictly citizens only that are not acting in a governmental
[07:01.380 --> 07:04.680]  or judicial capacity of any kind.
[07:04.680 --> 07:10.380]  They will be free to evaluate both the law and the actors and determine whether
[07:10.380 --> 07:15.080]  or not that public servant overstepped the bounds of their authority
[07:15.080 --> 07:23.380]  and actually created themselves either a civil tort, a criminal act, or both.
[07:23.380 --> 07:28.580]  This is one of the only ways I see that we the people are going to be able to get control
[07:28.580 --> 07:33.680]  of our government servants and put them back in the place they're supposed to be,
[07:33.680 --> 07:38.380]  out of our lives and watching over our rights.
[07:38.380 --> 07:42.680]  And when they fail to do that, we will finally have a place to go to
[07:42.680 --> 07:45.880]  where we can have something done about it.
[07:45.880 --> 07:47.980]  That's the goal.
[07:47.980 --> 07:51.680]  Deborah, was there anything in particular that you wanted to bring
[07:51.680 --> 07:54.580]  up before we got on a roll tonight?
[07:54.580 --> 07:57.080]  No. Go ahead, Eddie.
[07:57.080 --> 07:59.480]  Okay. All right.
[07:59.480 --> 08:03.580]  Now, when we talk about the things that we do on Monday nights dealing
[08:03.580 --> 08:08.780]  with traffic and everything, we try to go into the specifics in two different areas.
[08:08.780 --> 08:14.080]  We go into the area of due process, which is what is supposed to be done
[08:14.080 --> 08:19.580]  by the public servant before trial, during trial, and after trial.
[08:19.580 --> 08:26.780]  Normally, we are most interested in what's occurring before and during trial.
[08:26.780 --> 08:32.080]  Because if there's an after trial and things were done properly, you do one,
[08:32.080 --> 08:35.480]  things are over, there's nowhere to go from there.
[08:35.480 --> 08:38.480]  But the way that we have to win is the fact
[08:38.480 --> 08:42.280]  that they don't do the things they're supposed to do.
[08:42.280 --> 08:46.780]  The other part is when we actually have to go to the merit of a particular action
[08:46.780 --> 08:52.380]  and deal with the specific event or alleged defense itself.
[08:52.380 --> 08:57.480]  These are the things that we're going over in our Saturday seminars, folks.
[08:57.480 --> 09:02.180]  So if you want to know whether or not things are being done properly,
[09:02.180 --> 09:06.180]  how to recognize them, how to ensure that you're not being railroaded
[09:06.180 --> 09:10.980]  in your own particular case and so on and so forth, you really need to consider coming
[09:10.980 --> 09:13.680]  down to these seminars on Saturdays.
[09:13.680 --> 09:18.380]  Now, there is a possibility we're looking at to see if there may be a chance
[09:18.380 --> 09:21.680]  that we should schedule these for Sundays instead of Saturdays.
[09:21.680 --> 09:27.280]  Because as it turns out, there are many people that are not able to get all
[09:27.280 --> 09:31.380]  of their Saturdays free because they have to work every other Saturday or a particular set
[09:31.380 --> 09:33.780]  of Saturdays and so on and so forth.
[09:33.780 --> 09:37.680]  So for those of you out there that do attend them regularly,
[09:37.680 --> 09:42.880]  keep aware of the idea that this is an option we're looking into.
[09:42.880 --> 09:46.680]  Please email me, call in, whatever you need to do
[09:46.680 --> 09:49.780]  and let me know what you think about that idea.
[09:49.780 --> 09:54.880]  I wish to be able to do it on a day that accommodates the most people.
[09:54.880 --> 09:59.980]  And the reason we want to accommodate the most people is so that we are able
[09:59.980 --> 10:03.380]  to get the word out to more.
[10:03.380 --> 10:07.480]  The more people we have attending, the more people we can educate.
[10:07.480 --> 10:11.780]  The more people we can educate, the more people they can talk to
[10:11.780 --> 10:13.480]  and get more people in there.
[10:13.480 --> 10:17.980]  We've got to get this as a grassroots established momentum.
[10:17.980 --> 10:22.080]  If we don't do that, we're going to wind up sitting around here spinning our wheels.
[10:22.080 --> 10:23.580]  We'll have the same people coming.
[10:23.580 --> 10:25.980]  We'll have the same people working on their own stuff.
[10:25.980 --> 10:27.580]  We won't have any new faces.
[10:27.580 --> 10:29.380]  We won't have any new ideas.
[10:29.380 --> 10:33.880]  We won't have any new input on anything because there's no one new coming.
[10:33.880 --> 10:35.680]  The word's not getting spread.
[10:35.680 --> 10:39.180]  It's just being utilized by a small number of folks.
[10:39.180 --> 10:41.380]  I wish to change that.
[10:41.380 --> 10:44.880]  I don't want it limited to a small number of folks.
[10:44.880 --> 10:48.080]  Education is power, it is freedom.
[10:48.080 --> 10:50.180]  This is our purpose.
[10:50.180 --> 10:50.980]  Okay?
[10:50.980 --> 10:53.580]  So please come down and join us for these.
[10:53.580 --> 10:54.980]  Get educated.
[10:54.980 --> 11:00.680]  Learn what's being done to you, why it's being done to you and what to do about it.
[11:00.680 --> 11:05.580]  Now, another piece of upcoming news is that we may be able to,
[11:05.580 --> 11:08.680]  one of our seminar attendees is trying to arrange it,
[11:08.680 --> 11:15.180]  where there will be an event set at his municipality's city hall.
[11:15.180 --> 11:20.480]  And we're going to make this a public event where everyone in that municipality is invited to come,
[11:20.480 --> 11:23.980]  no charge, the police officers, the city employees,
[11:23.980 --> 11:28.180]  especially the municipal judges and the city attorneys.
[11:28.180 --> 11:33.980]  We want them all to come to this so that we can bring to light before them
[11:33.980 --> 11:37.080]  what's being done and how it's being done.
[11:37.080 --> 11:39.980]  And the type of community that we're dealing with here,
[11:39.980 --> 11:45.980]  this is probably a good place to start because these people are more community-oriented
[11:45.980 --> 11:52.380]  rather than revenue-oriented and profiteering-oriented and things of that nature.
[11:52.380 --> 11:54.880]  So this would be a very good opportunity.
[11:54.880 --> 11:57.080]  And if we do manage to get that accomplished,
[11:57.080 --> 12:04.780]  we'll let you know the where and the when and see whether or not it's going to be open to everybody in the public
[12:04.780 --> 12:10.180]  or just a specific public of that municipality and area with a couple of exceptions.
[12:10.180 --> 12:13.480]  But once we get that established firmly, we'll let you know.
[12:13.480 --> 12:16.280]  And I have an announcement too, Eddie.
[12:16.280 --> 12:16.780]  Okay.
[12:16.780 --> 12:25.780]  I just saw in my inbox, it just came in concerning House Bill 1937 here in Texas.
[12:25.780 --> 12:30.780]  It had been referred to the Criminal Jurisprudence Committee.
[12:30.780 --> 12:36.780]  This is the bill against offensive touching in the airports mainly by the TSA workers
[12:36.780 --> 12:44.580]  to prevent mainly making these sexual gropings a crime in Texas even if, you know,
[12:44.580 --> 12:48.080]  no matter what unless there's some kind of search warrant or whatever.
[12:48.080 --> 12:53.480]  Well, it has just been scheduled for public hearing on March 22nd.
[12:53.480 --> 12:55.480]  That is this coming Tuesday.
[12:55.480 --> 12:58.180]  So see, folks, this is how much notice they give us.
[12:58.180 --> 13:00.580]  One, two, three, four, five days.
[13:00.580 --> 13:06.280]  They give us five days notice and that is the minimum number of days notice
[13:06.280 --> 13:08.580]  under the Open Meetings Act.
[13:08.580 --> 13:12.680]  So they always will cut it to the wire because they don't want people coming to these things.
[13:12.680 --> 13:14.880]  Now, I don't see a time scheduled.
[13:14.880 --> 13:20.180]  However, from what I understand, you just got to get there early, early in the morning
[13:20.180 --> 13:21.880]  and sit around and wait.
[13:21.880 --> 13:26.580]  And so that's another thing that they do to make things difficult on the citizens.
[13:26.580 --> 13:29.780]  They don't have a set scheduled time.
[13:29.780 --> 13:35.380]  So I will be keeping the listeners posted as I find out more about this.
[13:35.380 --> 13:43.080]  But, folks, you need to go look on the Texas legislative website for HB1937 and sign
[13:43.080 --> 13:46.580]  up for the bill alerts if you haven't already for this House bill
[13:46.580 --> 13:51.680]  so that we can get more information so all of us can be informed concerning
[13:51.680 --> 13:56.280]  if they post a time and exactly where the hearing is and these sorts of details.
[13:56.280 --> 14:02.580]  But put it on your calendar this coming Tuesday, House Bill 1937, we need to get out there
[14:02.580 --> 14:05.180]  and show our support for this bill.
[14:05.180 --> 14:07.080]  Yeah, please, let's do that.
[14:07.080 --> 14:11.480]  This is going to be one of those important things that if we don't step up and take control
[14:11.480 --> 14:15.680]  of it now, it is going to make matters much, much worse.
[14:15.680 --> 14:20.080]  This is the only chance that we're going to have for public input on this bill.
[14:20.080 --> 14:21.280]  Our only chance.
[14:21.280 --> 14:25.280]  So how much does this mean to you people?
[14:25.280 --> 14:26.880]  Let's get out there.
[14:26.880 --> 14:33.080]  I mean, I don't go out to public actions very much anymore because I just don't have time.
[14:33.080 --> 14:36.480]  And I understand that protests and things like that are very important.
[14:36.480 --> 14:42.780]  It's important to make public appearance at a lot of events, at city council meetings
[14:42.780 --> 14:44.880]  and other things, but I just don't have time.
[14:44.880 --> 14:51.080]  But every now and then an issue comes up that is at the level of what I would call critical.
[14:51.080 --> 14:54.180]  And that's when I make the time to go out.
[14:54.180 --> 14:57.280]  Well, this is one of those critical actions right here.
[14:57.280 --> 15:00.980]  I would deem it critical because it affects our right to travel.
[15:00.980 --> 15:03.080]  So we need to get out there.
[15:05.480 --> 15:06.080]  Works for me.
[15:06.080 --> 15:07.280]  Okay, Eddie, go ahead.
[15:07.280 --> 15:09.780]  Anything, what else you got for us?
[15:09.780 --> 15:15.480]  Well, the other thing that we're going to be wanting to deal with in this when it comes
[15:15.480 --> 15:19.880]  to meeting with these legislators is we need to get them to understand
[15:19.880 --> 15:24.680]  and recall exactly why they're there.
[15:24.680 --> 15:28.080]  Now, this brings us to an issue involving the courts, of course.
[15:28.080 --> 15:33.680]  Many of our problems right now can be associated with the fact
[15:33.680 --> 15:40.280]  that the courts will not do their job of upholding the people's rights
[15:40.280 --> 15:42.780]  in relation to the Constitution.
[15:42.780 --> 15:48.880]  They always try to find a way to legitimize the actions of government even
[15:48.880 --> 15:56.280]  when they completely contrast or contradict prohibitions made within our founding documents.
[15:56.280 --> 16:03.980]  Now, I understand that the view is that the Constitution is no more and so on and so forth.
[16:03.980 --> 16:09.980]  And while that may be how it's being practiced, that's not what we the people created.
[16:09.980 --> 16:16.380]  And just like everything else, we the people are the only ones that are going to be able
[16:16.380 --> 16:19.280]  to fix that and do something about it.
[16:19.280 --> 16:22.180]  Here's our place and time to start.
[16:22.180 --> 16:24.480]  We need to go after these judges.
[16:24.480 --> 16:25.580]  We need a way to do it.
[16:25.580 --> 16:30.380]  That is where this people's grand jury would work so well in that regard.
[16:30.380 --> 16:35.380]  A judge could no longer declare immunity for himself for his actions.
[16:35.380 --> 16:38.580]  He couldn't declare immunity for a police officer.
[16:38.580 --> 16:45.980]  He couldn't declare immunity for anybody just because he wanted to protect what they did
[16:45.980 --> 16:48.980]  and save his own behind in the process.
[16:48.980 --> 16:50.380]  All right, folks, we're about to go to break.
[16:50.380 --> 16:53.580]  512-646-9884 is the call-in number.
[16:53.580 --> 16:54.980]  This is Rule of Law Radio.
[16:54.980 --> 16:55.780]  Give us a call.
[16:55.780 --> 17:00.380]  We will be right back after the break.
[17:00.380 --> 17:03.780]  Capital Coin and Bullion is your local source for rare coins,
[17:03.780 --> 17:07.380]  precious metals, and coin supplies in the Austin metro area.
[17:07.380 --> 17:09.180]  We also ship worldwide.
[17:09.180 --> 17:12.580]  We're a family-owned and operated business that offers competitive prices
[17:12.580 --> 17:14.680]  on your coin and metals purchases.
[17:14.680 --> 17:18.280]  Because of you, Austin, business has been so good that we've had to move
[17:18.280 --> 17:20.380]  to a new and bigger location.
[17:20.380 --> 17:24.080]  We're now located at 7304 Burnett Road Suite A,
[17:24.080 --> 17:27.780]  1.2 miles north on Burnett from our previous location.
[17:27.780 --> 17:32.380]  We're on the west side of Burnett Road in Stanley Insurance Building on the ground floor,
[17:32.380 --> 17:35.280]  next to the Ishaban Sushi and the Genie Car Wash.
[17:35.280 --> 17:39.180]  We're open Monday through Friday, 10 to 6, Saturdays 10 to 5.
[17:39.180 --> 17:45.080]  You're welcome to stop in during regular business hours or call 512-646-6440.
[17:45.080 --> 17:48.980]  Ask for Chad or Becky and say that you heard about us on Rule of Law Radio
[17:48.980 --> 17:50.580]  or Texas Liberty Radio.
[17:50.580 --> 17:55.980]  That's Capital Coin and Bullion at our new location at 7304 Burnett Road Suite A
[17:55.980 --> 18:00.180]  or call 512-646-6440.
[18:00.180 --> 18:05.380]  Are you being harassed by debt collectors with phone calls, letters, or even lawsuits?
[18:05.380 --> 18:09.180]  Stop debt collectors now with the Michael Mears Proven Method.
[18:09.180 --> 18:12.980]  Michael Mears has won six cases in federal court against debt collectors
[18:12.980 --> 18:14.780]  and now you can win two.
[18:14.780 --> 18:19.480]  You'll get step-by-step instructions in plain English on how to win in court using federal
[18:19.480 --> 18:24.580]  civil rights statutes, what to do when contacted by phones, mail, or court summons,
[18:24.580 --> 18:29.280]  how to answer letters and phone calls, how to get debt collectors out of your credit report,
[18:29.280 --> 18:33.980]  how to turn the financial tables on them and make them pay you to go away.
[18:33.980 --> 18:38.780]  The Michael Mears Proven Method is the solution for how to stop debt collectors.
[18:38.780 --> 18:41.180]  Personal consultation is available as well.

[18:57.380 --> 19:04.380]  to learn how to stop debt collectors now.
[19:27.380 --> 19:40.980]  All right, folks, we are back.
[19:40.980 --> 19:42.180]  This is Rule of Law Radio.
[19:42.180 --> 19:47.980]  While we're waiting on some callers to get up on the board, I want to read you part of
[19:47.980 --> 19:53.180]  an excerpt of the new beginning to revision four of the traffic seminar book.
[19:53.180 --> 19:58.980]  And maybe this will give you an idea of how things are supposed to function and just exactly
[19:58.980 --> 20:03.180]  where we've gone wrong when it comes to the course.
[20:03.180 --> 20:08.380]  Each of us may act as we see fit to better ourselves, our condition, or both, as long
[20:08.380 --> 20:12.580]  as we do not violate the rights and property of another in doing so.
[20:12.580 --> 20:17.580]  It is through the exercise of our individual faculties and furtherance of the acquisition,
[20:17.580 --> 20:22.380]  use, and disposal of property that is the psychological and material manifestation of
[20:22.380 --> 20:26.580]  all of our individual rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.
[20:26.580 --> 20:30.180]  This is what true freedom is and was meant to be.
[20:30.180 --> 20:35.580]  No rule or set of rules should exist simply to ensure that there is a rule.
[20:35.580 --> 20:40.980]  A rule should exist only because it seeks to protect the individual or collective rights
[20:40.980 --> 20:44.780]  of one or more people from wrongful intrusion by any other.
[20:44.780 --> 20:48.380]  This is especially true when it comes to individual actions.
[20:48.380 --> 20:53.580]  No rule can or should attempt to prevent an individual from causing harm to themselves
[20:53.580 --> 20:55.180]  or their own property.
[20:55.180 --> 21:00.180]  After all, they belong only to God and themselves, not to the community, not to society, and
[21:00.180 --> 21:02.180]  especially not to government.
[21:02.180 --> 21:08.180]  So, logically speaking, only God has the authority to punish or prevent their actions in that
[21:08.180 --> 21:09.180]  degree.
[21:09.180 --> 21:15.180]  However, no man or woman has the right to act in a manner that harms another or the
[21:15.180 --> 21:20.780]  other's property unjustifiably, even if the intended result of the action was that it
[21:20.780 --> 21:22.780]  affect only the actor.
[21:22.780 --> 21:28.180]  If an actor's actions result in harm to another, then the one harmed has the right to be made
[21:28.180 --> 21:34.180]  whole at least to whatever extent possible and to seek remuneration, and if the act was
[21:34.180 --> 21:39.380]  done with malice or criminal negligence rather than being purely accidental in nature for
[21:39.380 --> 21:46.180]  actual punishment of whoever caused the unjustified harm, using the collective punitive powers
[21:46.180 --> 21:51.580]  of society that were put into place to protect such rights and property.
[21:51.580 --> 21:54.580]  Justifiable harm, however, is another matter entirely.
[21:54.580 --> 21:59.180]  A victim of an attempted burglary or robbery has every right to defend themselves and their
[21:59.180 --> 22:04.180]  property from that act, including the right to use deadly force, regardless of who the
[22:04.180 --> 22:09.180]  perpetrator is, a common thief, a murderer, or a government employee.
[22:09.180 --> 22:14.180]  A victim of an assault has the absolute right to defend themselves from their assault using
[22:14.180 --> 22:20.380]  any means necessary to stop the assault, including using deadly force against the assailant if
[22:20.380 --> 22:26.680]  it is the only way to prevent further life-threatening injury or death, and again, regardless of
[22:26.680 --> 22:30.080]  actually who the perpetrator is or represents.
[22:30.080 --> 22:35.380]  A government office license or badge carries no more authority to commit crimes and harm
[22:35.380 --> 22:41.180]  people than the tools or weapons used by the common criminals in our society, yet it has
[22:41.180 --> 22:46.580]  become commonly accepted in modern America that such practices are normal and that it
[22:46.580 --> 22:52.180]  is somehow wrong to resist such unlawful and illegal actions simply because they are being
[22:52.180 --> 22:57.780]  perpetrated under the color of some unaccountable governmental authority by a governmental agent.
[22:57.780 --> 23:02.180]  While I don't condone unnecessary and arbitrary acts of violence against government employees
[23:02.180 --> 23:07.980]  by anyone, I also do not condone acts of violence or unlawful interference upon the people by
[23:07.980 --> 23:13.380]  the agents of government and feel that we all have the right to resist such acts or
[23:13.380 --> 23:18.880]  treatment by any necessary means the situation demands.
[23:18.880 --> 23:21.580]  Now, we go on to another paragraph here.
[23:21.580 --> 23:22.980]  This one is called the state of things.
[23:22.980 --> 23:24.980]  This is fairly short.
[23:24.980 --> 23:29.180]  It is more or less common knowledge that the Constitution for the United States of America
[23:29.180 --> 23:33.980]  was created to specifically limit the power and authority of the federal government.
[23:33.980 --> 23:37.980]  By declaring those limits, it was intended that the federal government be able to do
[23:37.980 --> 23:42.580]  only those things that the people saw fit to granted authority to do.
[23:42.580 --> 23:48.780]  Yet, when it comes to the various state constitutions, the courts of the states have taken a directly
[23:48.780 --> 23:53.380]  inverse approach to the reasons the Constitution is created in the first place.
[23:53.380 --> 23:58.780]  In Texas, for example, the courts interpreted the Texas Constitution to mean that anything
[23:58.780 --> 24:03.780]  not specifically forbidden to the powers of government granted within its provisions and
[24:03.780 --> 24:07.780]  language is somehow fair game for legislation.
[24:07.780 --> 24:10.380]  Are you frigging kidding me?
[24:10.380 --> 24:15.380]  Let's try once again to use some actual logic in what is being done here.
[24:15.380 --> 24:20.580]  We should also understand that a Constitution's purpose is to define the limited power and
[24:20.580 --> 24:23.580]  authority of the government that is to act under it.
[24:23.580 --> 24:29.180]  We should understand that a Constitution does not grant or create a single one of the people's
[24:29.180 --> 24:31.580]  individual unalienable rights.
[24:31.580 --> 24:37.180]  Those rights existed long before there was ever a Constitution or a state to speak of.
[24:37.180 --> 24:42.980]  Now, if the purpose of a Constitution is to limit government and it does not limit or
[24:42.980 --> 24:48.780]  create the rights of the people, then how can it be interpreted in this backwards manner?
[24:48.780 --> 24:52.580]  Think about the logical result of the court's interpretation.
[24:52.580 --> 24:58.180]  By stating that the Constitution places only specific limits and hindrances on the power
[24:58.180 --> 25:03.380]  and authority of government, the courts have converted the Texas Constitution into a document
[25:03.380 --> 25:09.580]  that, instead of limiting governmental power, limits the protections of the people and their
[25:09.580 --> 25:13.780]  rights from governmental power.
[25:13.780 --> 25:18.380]  Now, that is part of what's going to be in the new seminar book at the introduction area.
[25:18.380 --> 25:25.780]  So, we explain where this traffic or the transportation code originated back in 1917, what its purposes
[25:25.780 --> 25:28.380]  were, and so on and so forth.
[25:28.380 --> 25:35.380]  This is basically the chapter laying the groundwork for all of the detail to come in what the transportation
[25:35.380 --> 25:42.780]  code is and isn't and how it relates to us or doesn't relate to us as sovereign people.
[25:42.780 --> 25:49.980]  Now, that's another thing that they're trying to do in this country right now.
[25:49.980 --> 25:52.180]  We need to be aware of that.
[25:52.180 --> 25:59.980]  They are trying to take what was once a badge of honor, to be a patriot, to be a constitutionalist,
[25:59.980 --> 26:08.380]  to be someone that decried the acts of governmental authorities when they stepped outside of the
[26:08.380 --> 26:11.980]  limitations that we placed upon them.
[26:11.980 --> 26:16.780]  They are taking anyone that would stand up against this, that would declare themselves
[26:16.780 --> 26:25.480]  against this, and taking them from a status of honor to one of criminality.
[26:25.480 --> 26:30.100]  If you call yourself a patriot these days, you're a criminal, according to the Department
[26:30.100 --> 26:31.900]  of Homeland Security.
[26:31.900 --> 26:33.740]  You're a terrorist.
[26:33.740 --> 26:40.180]  If you do this, that, or the other by declaring that you're a sovereign citizen or that the
[26:40.180 --> 26:44.940]  government laws that they're dealing with in these statutes doesn't have any authority
[26:44.940 --> 26:49.860]  over you or your property, then you're declared a terrorist.
[26:49.860 --> 26:56.340]  If you try to file suit to protect yourself and to get restitution for the crimes perpetrated
[26:56.340 --> 27:04.940]  against you by these public employees, you're declared a vexatious litigant, a paper terrorist.
[27:04.940 --> 27:13.060]  In that regard, they seek to completely limit the people's ability to get reconciliation
[27:13.060 --> 27:17.340]  for these acts upon them by their servants.
[27:17.340 --> 27:20.740]  That's what these people are, whether they want to admit it or not.
[27:20.740 --> 27:28.500]  They're servants, but they have completely tried to invert our system of government and
[27:28.500 --> 27:35.900]  make themselves the power and we the subservience of that power.
[27:35.900 --> 27:40.020]  Folks, we've got to wake up and do something about that.
[27:40.020 --> 27:42.180]  That's what we're working to teach people.
[27:42.180 --> 27:44.460]  That's what we're on the air for.
[27:44.460 --> 27:46.420]  That's what we talk about.
[27:46.420 --> 27:52.060]  Not only do we need to talk about it from the point of, hey, do you understand this?
[27:52.060 --> 27:53.740]  Do you know this?
[27:53.740 --> 27:59.300]  We need to talk about it from the point of, what are you doing in your community to make
[27:59.300 --> 28:01.180]  others aware of this?
[28:01.180 --> 28:06.860]  What are you doing in your community to have a plan of action to combat this?
[28:06.860 --> 28:13.980]  Are you acting and working in your particular location to educate your public servants as
[28:13.980 --> 28:21.380]  to who they serve and why, and that by taking the job they have, that's what they swore
[28:21.380 --> 28:24.820]  to do.
[28:24.820 --> 28:31.900]  Most of these people think an oath is something you use to make brand oatmeal because it's
[28:31.900 --> 28:36.500]  certainly not something to be taken with any real meaning to these people.
[28:36.500 --> 28:43.940]  Yeah, it's oath people, not oats.
[28:43.940 --> 28:52.020]  It's absolutely ludicrous how out of touch with reality our public servants have become.
[28:52.020 --> 28:56.420]  They exist to enforce rules simply because there are rules.
[28:56.420 --> 28:58.620]  No one thinks anymore.
[28:58.620 --> 29:03.300]  There's a rule for this, so we've got to blindly obey the rule no matter what.
[29:03.300 --> 29:08.460]  Even if the rule doesn't apply specifically to you, it can be interpreted so that we can
[29:08.460 --> 29:12.500]  use it against you, so we're going to.
[29:12.500 --> 29:15.060]  That's how ridiculous it's become.
[29:15.060 --> 29:18.540]  That's what we're seeing at every turn.
[29:18.540 --> 29:24.900]  We are seeing our public servants taking powers that do not belong to them and exercising
[29:24.900 --> 29:30.220]  them in a way that we the people have never approved of, would never approve of, and if
[29:30.220 --> 29:34.980]  they ever got us all en masse telling them so, they'd go deaf from the yelling at them
[29:34.980 --> 29:35.980]  to stop it.
[29:35.980 --> 29:39.500]  All right, we're about to go to break.
[29:39.500 --> 29:41.140]  Wesley, I do see you on the call board.
[29:41.140 --> 29:43.380]  We will pick you up on the other side of the break.
[29:43.380 --> 29:45.340]  Folks, this is Rule of Law Radio.
[29:45.340 --> 29:49.860]  Please give us a call, 512-646-1984.
[29:49.860 --> 29:52.740]  Call in with your questions, your issues, or your commentaries.
[29:52.740 --> 29:53.740]  We'll be here.
[29:53.740 --> 30:00.020]  We'll be right back.
[30:00.020 --> 30:04.420]  The Rule of Law Radio Network is proud to present a due process of law seminar hosted
[30:04.420 --> 30:06.340]  by our own Eddie Craig.
[30:06.340 --> 30:10.700]  Eddie is a former Nacogdoches County Sheriff's Deputy, and for the past 21 years he has studied
[30:10.700 --> 30:15.220]  the due process of law and now offers his knowledge to you at a law seminar every Saturday
[30:15.220 --> 30:20.940]  from 3 o'clock to 6 o'clock at Brave New Books, located at 1904 Guadalupe Street in Austin,
[30:20.940 --> 30:21.940]  Texas.
[30:21.940 --> 30:26.100]  Admission is $20, so please make plans to come and sit with Eddie and learn for yourself
[30:26.100 --> 30:28.780]  what the true intent of law really is.
[30:28.780 --> 30:35.220]  Did you know that cell phones can cause constipation, anorexia, and depression if they get into
[30:35.220 --> 30:37.860]  the wrong hands, or should I say the wrong jaws?
[30:37.860 --> 30:42.660]  I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht, and I'll be back with the painful saga of Gina's wireless
[30:42.660 --> 30:44.660]  woes in just a moment.
[30:44.660 --> 30:49.420]  Your search engine is watching you, recording all your searches, and creating a massive
[30:49.420 --> 30:51.700]  database of your personal information.
[30:51.700 --> 30:52.980]  That's creepy.
[30:52.980 --> 30:55.060]  But it doesn't have to be that way.

[31:15.340 --> 31:18.060]  Remember TikTok, the crocodile from Peter Pan?
[31:18.060 --> 31:22.260]  He swallowed an alarm clock, and his ticking could be heard all across Never Neverland.
[31:22.260 --> 31:26.900]  Well, a modern-day twist on this fairy tale story recently happened at an aquarium in
[31:26.900 --> 31:27.900]  the Ukraine.
[31:27.900 --> 31:33.820]  Gina, a 14-year-old crocodile, now emits a Nokia ringtone from the depths of her stomach.
[31:33.820 --> 31:37.940]  She swallowed the smartphone when a visitor accidentally dropped it into her tank last
[31:37.940 --> 31:38.940]  month.
[31:38.940 --> 31:43.380]  Unfortunately, the ringing reptile isn't feeling too good after her high-tech snack.
[31:43.380 --> 31:45.180]  She's not eating, and she's moving lethargically.
[31:45.180 --> 31:47.580]  I guess there's not an app for that.
[31:47.580 --> 31:51.740]  Gina's handlers plan a surgery to retrieve the phone, but I'm guessing its owner won't
[31:51.740 --> 31:52.740]  be wanting it back.

[32:40.180 --> 32:41.180]  When you've got to stop abuse, you're not my worst.
[32:41.180 --> 32:42.180]  All right, folks.
[32:42.180 --> 32:43.180]  We are back.
[32:43.180 --> 32:44.180]  Rule of Law Radio.
[32:44.180 --> 32:45.180]  All right.
[32:45.180 --> 32:46.660]  We have a caller on the board.
[32:46.660 --> 32:47.660]  That's Wesley.
[32:47.660 --> 32:52.060]  There's no one waiting in line behind him, so folks, give us a call.
[32:52.060 --> 32:53.060]  512-646-1984.
[32:53.060 --> 32:54.060]  Good evening, Wesley.
[32:54.060 --> 32:55.060]  What can we do for you?
[32:55.060 --> 32:56.060]  Hey, Eddie.
[32:56.060 --> 32:57.060]  How are you doing tonight?
[32:57.060 --> 32:58.060]  So far, so good.
[32:58.060 --> 32:59.060]  Well, great to hear.
[32:59.060 --> 33:11.620]  Well, I got a speed ticket in Hopkins County, going an 81 in a 70 off of Highway 30.
[33:11.620 --> 33:16.860]  And when I got pulled over, I did ask the cop if I had caused an accident or got into
[33:16.860 --> 33:18.820]  an accident or caused any proper damage.
[33:18.820 --> 33:22.980]  And he told me that I should know the answer to that.
[33:22.980 --> 33:29.340]  And this past Tuesday, I went up to Summer Springs to try to get my pre-trial date.
[33:29.340 --> 33:33.260]  And she told me that if I didn't plead, she wouldn't set a pre-trial date.
[33:33.260 --> 33:39.340]  So I need to know what to do about that and how to get my pre-trial date set without pleading.
[33:39.340 --> 33:40.340]  What?
[33:40.340 --> 33:42.620]  Do you really care if they set a pre-trial date?
[33:42.620 --> 33:43.620]  No, not really.
[33:43.620 --> 33:44.620]  Well, I just don't.
[33:44.620 --> 33:47.540]  Well, then let them do whatever they want.
[33:47.540 --> 33:51.060]  If they sit around and don't schedule a pre-trial date for you, then they're kind of hosing
[33:51.060 --> 33:56.140]  themselves because the speedy trial clock is ticking.
[33:56.140 --> 33:57.140]  Okay.
[33:57.140 --> 34:06.020]  So since my ticket says I need to do that by 10 o'clock tomorrow, so I just...
[34:06.020 --> 34:07.020]  You went in.
[34:07.020 --> 34:10.240]  You fulfilled the information from the ticket.
[34:10.240 --> 34:16.900]  If you haven't gone in, then just go in and say, I'm here, where's the judge?
[34:16.900 --> 34:18.940]  You don't have to go in on any particular day.
[34:18.940 --> 34:22.900]  You don't have to go in on the day on the ticket, as long as you go in on or before.
[34:22.900 --> 34:23.900]  Okay.
[34:23.900 --> 34:26.900]  So as long as I go in...
[34:26.900 --> 34:27.900]  Okay.
[34:27.900 --> 34:33.300]  So since I went in on this past Tuesday, how do I prove that I was there?
[34:33.300 --> 34:34.860]  Did you record your conversation?
[34:34.860 --> 34:35.860]  No, sir.
[34:35.860 --> 34:37.380]  I sure didn't.
[34:37.380 --> 34:39.380]  Did you take an affidavit of appearance?
[34:39.380 --> 34:40.380]  No, sir.
[34:40.380 --> 34:41.380]  I didn't know where...
[34:41.380 --> 34:42.380]  I didn't...
[34:42.380 --> 34:43.380]  No, sir.
[34:43.380 --> 34:44.380]  I sure didn't.
[34:44.380 --> 34:47.380]  Did you take a picture of the clerk with your cell phone?
[34:47.380 --> 34:48.380]  No, sir.
[34:48.380 --> 34:53.380]  Did you take anybody with you that could witness that you were there?
[34:53.380 --> 34:54.380]  No, sir.
[34:54.380 --> 34:55.380]  I sure didn't.
[34:55.380 --> 34:56.380]  I went by my cell phone.
[34:56.380 --> 34:59.220]  Are there security cameras in the place you went?
[34:59.220 --> 35:03.020]  I didn't look around to see any, if there were any.
[35:03.020 --> 35:07.620]  I know the accounting clerk in the other lady was standing there, but I didn't see if there
[35:07.620 --> 35:08.620]  were.
[35:08.620 --> 35:09.620]  Okay.
[35:09.620 --> 35:11.500]  Officer McGruff would not be very proud of you at this point.
[35:11.500 --> 35:14.460]  You've made all the mistakes you don't ever want to make again.
[35:14.460 --> 35:15.460]  Okay.
[35:15.460 --> 35:16.740]  All right.
[35:16.740 --> 35:23.380]  Forever go talk to a public servant without some form of recording device in your possession.
[35:23.380 --> 35:24.380]  Just don't do it.
[35:24.380 --> 35:29.620]  Society's at a point now where if you're not surveilling them, then you're getting set
[35:29.620 --> 35:30.620]  up.
[35:30.620 --> 35:34.700]  That's almost a guaranteed thing because they're going to lie, cheat, and steal their
[35:34.700 --> 35:37.540]  way through this process no matter what happens.
[35:37.540 --> 35:38.540]  Okay.
[35:38.540 --> 35:44.060]  So, you must act to be prepared to defend yourself at every turn.
[35:44.060 --> 35:46.100]  This is how you do it.
[35:46.100 --> 35:50.780]  Now, what you need to do is write up an affidavit of appearance.
[35:50.780 --> 35:52.780]  Do you know how to write an affidavit?
[35:52.780 --> 35:53.780]  No, sir.
[35:53.780 --> 35:54.780]  I sure don't.
[35:54.780 --> 35:59.300]  Then you need to be looking online to get some examples of an affidavit.
[35:59.300 --> 36:04.980]  The one thing about an affidavit you must understand, an affidavit is a dangerous instrument
[36:04.980 --> 36:09.060]  to an individual that does not use it properly.
[36:09.060 --> 36:12.380]  An affidavit must state specific facts.
[36:12.380 --> 36:17.660]  It does not ask questions beyond the statement of those specific facts, if it must ask a
[36:17.660 --> 36:24.540]  question at all, and it does not make suppositions, presumptions, or conclusions.
[36:24.540 --> 36:29.180]  It states only specific facts.
[36:29.180 --> 36:33.820]  In this affidavit, you're going to certify under penalty of perjury that you are of sound
[36:33.820 --> 36:38.180]  mind and that you make the following statements of your own free will without coercion or
[36:38.180 --> 36:40.220]  duress.
[36:40.220 --> 36:46.460]  And then you're going to state, I, whatever your full name is, did appear in this particular
[36:46.460 --> 36:52.900]  location on this particular date at this particular time in response to citation blah, blah, blah,
[36:52.900 --> 36:58.020]  and the notice to appear signed and sworn or signed by me on the day of whenever the
[36:58.020 --> 37:00.940]  ticket was issued.
[37:00.940 --> 37:07.860]  And then number two, I hereby certify I am in full compliance with the notice to appear
[37:07.860 --> 37:12.620]  as required on the citation number such and such.
[37:12.620 --> 37:16.340]  Then you go get it notarized.
[37:16.340 --> 37:24.220]  You get three or four copies of it made, mail two copies, certified mail, return receipt
[37:24.220 --> 37:33.020]  requested to the clerk of the court, and have one of those with a yellow sticky or something
[37:33.020 --> 37:40.780]  on it that says please provide to prosecutor since you don't yet know who that's going
[37:40.780 --> 37:44.260]  to be.
[37:44.260 --> 37:54.060]  That will take care of your initial appearance on the citation.
[37:54.060 --> 37:58.820]  Now if they attempt to issue a warrant for your arrest after you've already appeared
[37:58.820 --> 38:04.020]  in compliance with that, that's going to create a whole new problem for them if you go after
[38:04.020 --> 38:05.020]  them for it.
[38:05.020 --> 38:06.020]  Okay.
[38:06.020 --> 38:17.180]  So once I mail that in, say tomorrow morning, then I'm good until they send me back my information
[38:17.180 --> 38:20.740]  for my pretrial date if they do that.
[38:20.740 --> 38:21.740]  If they do that.
[38:21.740 --> 38:26.020]  The other problem is you need to make sure that if you're notified of a pretrial date
[38:26.020 --> 38:29.940]  that it is proper.
[38:29.940 --> 38:35.580]  Summons to appear in court for pretrial must comport itself and comply with the provisions
[38:35.580 --> 38:45.340]  of Chapter 23 of the Code of Criminal Procedure dealing with capious warrants and summonses.
[38:45.340 --> 38:48.740]  They almost never do.
[38:48.740 --> 38:54.100]  The law says that a summons must look just like the capious and have exactly the same
[38:54.100 --> 39:01.020]  information except that the summons is made out to the individual being summoned not to
[39:01.020 --> 39:04.740]  a law enforcement officer to arrest them.
[39:04.740 --> 39:07.460]  Otherwise they should be identical.
[39:07.460 --> 39:09.500]  Okay.
[39:09.500 --> 39:15.060]  So check Chapter 23 and it will spell out for you exactly what the criteria of a capious
[39:15.060 --> 39:19.660]  warrant is and then you'll know what the summons is supposed to look like.
[39:19.660 --> 39:25.180]  Then when you get the summons and it doesn't conform to what the law requires, you will
[39:25.180 --> 39:28.020]  file a motion to quash the summons.
[39:28.020 --> 39:33.220]  And where do I get the motion to, where do I find that?
[39:33.220 --> 39:35.980]  Well if you don't have the seminar material, you're going to have to learn how to write
[39:35.980 --> 39:36.980]  one on your own.
[39:36.980 --> 39:37.980]  Okay.
[39:37.980 --> 39:41.900]  The seminar material has all these types of motions and everything already done up.
[39:41.900 --> 39:42.900]  Okay.
[39:42.900 --> 39:45.140]  I was planning on buying that next week.
[39:45.140 --> 39:46.140]  Okay.
[39:46.140 --> 39:51.260]  Well I'm currently working on getting those revised as I'm able to along with the book.
[39:51.260 --> 39:57.180]  Right now the book's had to take upwards priority simply because I've got a very limited window
[39:57.180 --> 40:01.340]  left to get it in front of the legislators that I'm trying to deal with.
[40:01.340 --> 40:06.060]  So I've got to get that updated PDQ so I can get it in these guys' hands.
[40:06.060 --> 40:10.660]  But the nice thing about the court documents for the paperwork is they're ever evolving
[40:10.660 --> 40:11.900]  and ever updating.
[40:11.900 --> 40:16.300]  So plus if you have an issue with them you can send me an email or something and I'll
[40:16.300 --> 40:18.300]  help you with them as best I can.
[40:18.300 --> 40:19.300]  Okay.
[40:19.300 --> 40:25.900]  And let's say they get the pre-trial date set, then do I, do I need, well I need like
[40:25.900 --> 40:30.860]  the questions for the officer and stuff like that?
[40:30.860 --> 40:36.060]  Well you will but you're also going to file motions to quash the complaint once you have
[40:36.060 --> 40:41.820]  a copy of the complaint and then you're going to file a motion to dismiss for lack of
[40:41.820 --> 40:42.820]  evidence.
[40:42.820 --> 40:43.820]  Okay.
[40:43.820 --> 40:49.180]  So first step is to do the affidavit and get that mailed off and put have it...
[40:49.180 --> 40:50.180]  That's correct.
[40:50.180 --> 40:51.180]  Okay.
[40:51.180 --> 40:52.180]  All right.
[40:52.180 --> 40:53.180]  Okay.
[40:53.180 --> 40:57.420]  I'll look up affidavit stuff, examples for that tonight then.
[40:57.420 --> 40:58.420]  Okay.
[40:58.420 --> 41:01.780]  Now if you need to remember what we were talking about as to what to put in it after we get
[41:01.780 --> 41:06.260]  done tonight you can probably download the archive and finish it up in the morning and
[41:06.260 --> 41:07.860]  get it ready to be mailed.
[41:07.860 --> 41:14.180]  But do not forget to have it notarized and that after it's notarized you get you three
[41:14.180 --> 41:16.020]  or four copies made.
[41:16.020 --> 41:20.740]  Do not ever send in your original of an affidavit.
[41:20.740 --> 41:22.740]  Send only copies.
[41:22.740 --> 41:23.740]  Okay.
[41:23.740 --> 41:24.740]  All right.
[41:24.740 --> 41:25.740]  Okay.
[41:25.740 --> 41:32.420]  And me not having some kind of recording device or someone to witness me going in the other
[41:32.420 --> 41:35.700]  day, is that, that's not going to hurt me or what?
[41:35.700 --> 41:39.260]  It's not going to hurt you but if they press the issue it's just going to be harder for
[41:39.260 --> 41:40.680]  you to prove.
[41:40.680 --> 41:45.300]  The purpose of the affidavit is you're swearing under penalty of perjury you were there.
[41:45.300 --> 41:46.900]  They have to prove you weren't.
[41:46.900 --> 41:47.900]  Okay.
[41:47.900 --> 41:50.200]  And they will never address your affidavit.
[41:50.200 --> 41:52.100]  They never address the affidavits.
[41:52.100 --> 41:53.100]  Okay.
[41:53.100 --> 41:54.100]  All right.
[41:54.100 --> 41:57.980]  So just look up an example for the affidavit tonight and get ready to make three or four
[41:57.980 --> 42:01.460]  copies and get that notarized and send it in.
[42:01.460 --> 42:02.460]  Right.
[42:02.460 --> 42:07.660]  And make sure that the affidavit says that this attestment is made under, or that I hereby
[42:07.660 --> 42:13.140]  swear to the following, swear or affirm the following under penalty of perjury that I
[42:13.140 --> 42:21.020]  am a sound mind and that I make these following statements without reservation or coercion.
[42:21.020 --> 42:22.020]  Okay.
[42:22.020 --> 42:23.020]  All right.
[42:23.020 --> 42:26.020]  And have personal knowledge of the facts stated herein.
[42:26.020 --> 42:27.020]  And that's it.
[42:27.020 --> 42:28.020]  Okay.
[42:28.020 --> 42:30.460]  And then just fill out the specific facts.
[42:30.460 --> 42:36.140]  And at the bottom, further affiant sayeth not.
[42:36.140 --> 42:39.060]  And then when you sign it, do it with a notary.
[42:39.060 --> 42:40.060]  Okay.
[42:40.060 --> 42:41.060]  All right.
[42:41.060 --> 42:42.060]  All right.
[42:42.060 --> 42:43.060]  We'll get that done then.
[42:43.060 --> 42:44.060]  Okay.
[42:44.060 --> 42:45.060]  All right.
[42:45.060 --> 42:46.060]  Thank you, sir.
[42:46.060 --> 42:47.060]  You're welcome.
[42:47.060 --> 42:48.060]  Thanks for calling in.
[42:48.060 --> 42:51.060]  Have a good night, guys.
[42:51.060 --> 42:52.060]  Okay.
[42:52.060 --> 42:53.060]  Thanks, Wesley.
[42:53.060 --> 42:54.060]  Sorry I didn't.
[42:54.060 --> 42:57.460]  I have a little too much air there, so I'll cut you off before you finish saying good
[42:57.460 --> 42:58.460]  night.
[42:58.460 --> 42:59.460]  Dan?
[42:59.460 --> 43:00.460]  Good night, guys.
[43:00.460 --> 43:01.460]  What's up?
[43:01.460 --> 43:02.460]  Oh, man.
[43:02.460 --> 43:03.460]  More traffic tickets.
[43:03.460 --> 43:07.980]  I caught part of your explanation to this gentleman.
[43:07.980 --> 43:17.740]  But I'm just traveling along the other day and made a left turn from the street I was
[43:17.740 --> 43:22.260]  on to go onto the service road to go to the freeway.
[43:22.260 --> 43:25.980]  And here comes a motorcycle jockey, pulls me over and said, you can't turn from that
[43:25.980 --> 43:27.380]  lane after there's no markings.
[43:27.380 --> 43:29.660]  And I said, oh, yeah, it's marked.
[43:29.660 --> 43:32.460]  And I went back and looked and there's no marking in the lane.
[43:32.460 --> 43:35.460]  Did you take pictures of it?
[43:35.460 --> 43:40.100]  I couldn't because of all the traffic, but I can go and get some.
[43:40.100 --> 43:41.100]  Okay.
[43:41.100 --> 43:42.100]  Hang on just a second, Dan.
[43:42.100 --> 43:43.100]  We're about to go to break.
[43:43.100 --> 43:44.100]  We'll pick you up on the other side.
[43:44.100 --> 43:45.100]  All right, folks.
[43:45.100 --> 43:50.380]  This is Rule of Law Radio, 512-646-1984 is the call-in number.
[43:50.380 --> 43:53.780]  If you have any questions, issues, or comments, please give us a call.
[43:53.780 --> 44:00.300]  We'll be right back on the other side of the break.
[44:00.300 --> 44:05.220]  It is so enlightening to listen to 90.1 FM, but finding things on the internet isn't
[44:05.220 --> 44:06.220]  so easy.
[44:06.220 --> 44:08.940]  And neither is finding like-minded people to share it with.
[44:08.940 --> 44:11.900]  Oh, well, I guess you haven't heard of Brave New Books, then.
[44:11.900 --> 44:12.900]  Brave New Books?
[44:12.900 --> 44:13.900]  Yes.
[44:13.900 --> 44:18.260]  Brave New Books has all the books and DVDs you're looking for by authors like Alex Jones,
[44:18.260 --> 44:20.260]  Ron Paul, and Geobert Griffin.
[44:20.260 --> 44:23.900]  They even stock inner food, Berkey products, and Calvin Soaps.
[44:23.900 --> 44:26.580]  There's no way a place like that exists.
[44:26.580 --> 44:28.060]  Go check it out for yourself.
[44:28.060 --> 44:32.420]  It's downtown at 1904 Guadalupe Street, just south of UT.
[44:32.420 --> 44:35.780]  By UT, there's never anywhere to park down there.
[44:35.780 --> 44:41.020]  Actually, they now offer a free hour of parking for paying customers at the 500 MLK parking
[44:41.020 --> 44:44.020]  facility, just behind the bookstore.
[44:44.020 --> 44:47.020]  It does exist, but when are they open?
[44:47.020 --> 44:51.820]  Monday through Saturday, 11 AM to 9 PM, and 1 to 6 PM on Sundays.
[44:51.820 --> 45:00.740]  So give them a call at 512-480-2503, or check out their events page at bravenewbookstore.com.

[46:16.340 --> 46:17.780]  Alright folks, we are back.
[46:17.780 --> 46:23.100]  This is Rule of Law Radio, 512-646-1984 is the call in number.
[46:23.100 --> 46:24.100]  Please give us a call.
[46:24.100 --> 46:29.860]  If you have any questions, comments, or just any news that we may want to be aware of around
[46:29.860 --> 46:30.860]  here.
[46:30.860 --> 46:31.860]  Okay, let's go back to Dan.
[46:31.860 --> 46:35.900]  Alright, Dan, you said that it was possible for you to go back to this place and take
[46:35.900 --> 46:36.900]  some pictures?
[46:36.900 --> 46:39.220]  Yeah, I can go take a picture of it.
[46:39.220 --> 46:43.560]  I would recommend you do that and also look around and check and see if there are any
[46:43.560 --> 46:46.700]  signs facing that lane as you pull into it.
[46:46.700 --> 46:49.020]  I'm assuming this is a T-intersection?
[46:49.020 --> 46:57.180]  Yes, or is it a cross intersection?
[46:57.180 --> 46:58.180]  It could be a cross.
[46:58.180 --> 46:59.180]  I have to look.
[46:59.180 --> 47:03.020]  I believe it's just southbound and then you've got a left turn that goes there.
[47:03.020 --> 47:09.100]  Because I did come up and had to stop at that signal when I was traveling northbound and
[47:09.100 --> 47:11.900]  I watched three, four, five people, not everybody.
[47:11.900 --> 47:16.300]  You've got a left turn lane and then the first lane of the other three lanes that comes out
[47:16.300 --> 47:23.260]  and some people turned there out of that lane and as I'm coming south and before I made
[47:23.260 --> 47:27.300]  my turn, there were two cars ahead of me, the lead car made a turn left and the one
[47:27.300 --> 47:31.780]  ahead of me just right in front of me went straight on south, then I made a turn and
[47:31.780 --> 47:36.780]  I see people make that turn there, but in the street itself it's not.
[47:36.780 --> 47:45.820]  I'll look and see if there could be something maybe up high on the signal lights, the stations
[47:45.820 --> 47:48.620]  that hold the signal lights and traffic signals or something like that.
[47:48.620 --> 47:49.900]  That's what I'm getting at.
[47:49.900 --> 47:56.180]  Take a look around the area there and see if there is any sign that is not readily visible
[47:56.180 --> 48:01.620]  and I'm assuming this is an overpass area or is it open?
[48:01.620 --> 48:02.620]  It's open.
[48:02.620 --> 48:03.620]  The overpass is on the freeway.
[48:03.620 --> 48:07.340]  I go underneath the freeway before you make a left onto the freeway.
[48:07.340 --> 48:08.340]  That's what I'm getting at.
[48:08.340 --> 48:13.100]  You're coming directly out from under an overpass to make that left and if they've got those
[48:13.100 --> 48:18.180]  signs right there posted up high, you'll never see them coming out from under that overpass
[48:18.180 --> 48:19.660]  and that would be intentional.
[48:19.660 --> 48:24.860]  Yeah, that's what I'm considering because there's other people making that same left
[48:24.860 --> 48:25.860]  turn.
[48:25.860 --> 48:31.900]  I watched them coming in and going there, but as far as citations, this is violation,
[48:31.900 --> 48:33.500]  improper left, wrong lane.
[48:33.500 --> 48:34.980]  Does it list any statutes?
[48:34.980 --> 48:40.740]  Does it list anything from the... By any chance, does your automobile have out of state
[48:40.740 --> 48:41.740]  plates on it?
[48:41.740 --> 48:47.780]  Nope, they're a Texas plate from under... Okay, then I was just wondering because if you're
[48:47.780 --> 48:51.540]  out of state, generally they'll pull crap like that if you're out of state because they
[48:51.540 --> 48:54.140]  won't expect you to be willing to come back and fight it.
[48:54.140 --> 48:55.140]  Oh, yeah.
[48:55.140 --> 48:57.140]  Louisiana's famous for doing that.
[48:57.140 --> 48:58.140]  Yeah.
[48:58.140 --> 49:05.300]  Anyway, it said contact the court in 12 days, so I think 12 days is Monday or something,
[49:05.300 --> 49:10.500]  but I'm going to go tomorrow just to appear and of course I'm sure they're going to want
[49:10.500 --> 49:13.340]  to say, yeah, give me some money and I'm going to tell them, you know...
[49:13.340 --> 49:17.580]  Well, you take... Be sure and prepare an affidavit just like I instructed Wesley a
[49:17.580 --> 49:18.580]  moment ago.
[49:18.580 --> 49:24.860]  Take an affidavit with you, file a copy of it in your case while you're there tomorrow.
[49:24.860 --> 49:28.300]  They cannot say that you did not appear.
[49:28.300 --> 49:33.520]  Okay, and the affidavit should say that I've appeared here too.
[49:33.520 --> 49:37.220]  If you'll go back and download the archive, it will tell you exactly what it needs to
[49:37.220 --> 49:38.220]  say.
[49:38.220 --> 49:39.220]  Okay.
[49:39.220 --> 49:40.220]  All right.
[49:40.220 --> 49:44.780]  But in any case, that will cover you as far as the initial appearance goes.
[49:44.780 --> 49:49.620]  Now, if they want you to enter a plea, just tell them, I cannot enter a plea at this time,
[49:49.620 --> 49:53.460]  but while I'm here, I would like to see a copy of everything that's in the folder.
[49:53.460 --> 49:56.200]  Do not tell them you want to see a copy of the complaint.
[49:56.200 --> 49:57.860]  You get that, folks?
[49:57.860 --> 50:03.540]  Do not tell them you want to see a copy of the complaint or the charging instrument.
[50:03.540 --> 50:09.620]  You simply want to see what's in the file, whether it be in the computer or it be in
[50:09.620 --> 50:11.500]  a physical.
[50:11.500 --> 50:14.700]  Do not clue them in as to what you're looking for.
[50:14.700 --> 50:15.700]  Okay.
[50:15.700 --> 50:16.700]  All right?
[50:16.700 --> 50:21.580]  Go through it and have them make you a copy of everything that's in it.
[50:21.580 --> 50:28.340]  If there is a complaint, then get to a computer, scan a copy of that in, send me a copy of
[50:28.340 --> 50:33.380]  whatever's in it along with the other information, and I'll do what I can to help you do something
[50:33.380 --> 50:34.380]  with it.
[50:34.380 --> 50:35.380]  Okay.
[50:35.380 --> 50:36.380]  Everything in the folder.
[50:36.380 --> 50:39.780]  So if she's just looking at a computer screen, I'll say, print that for me.
[50:39.780 --> 50:40.780]  Yep.
[50:40.780 --> 50:42.780]  I want to print out of that, whatever it is.
[50:42.780 --> 50:43.780]  All right.
[50:43.780 --> 50:44.780]  All right.
[50:44.780 --> 50:49.780]  I'll make my appearance and see what I can get from them.
[50:49.780 --> 50:50.780]  Okay.
[50:50.780 --> 50:51.780]  All right.
[50:51.780 --> 50:52.780]  Thank you.
[50:52.780 --> 50:53.780]  I appreciate your time.
[50:53.780 --> 51:01.980]  I could remember, I know that you had spoken before about how to appear before these things,
[51:01.980 --> 51:07.660]  and I know that you mentioned, or somebody mentioned common law default, and some of
[51:07.660 --> 51:08.660]  the-
[51:08.660 --> 51:09.660]  Well, that wasn't me.
[51:09.660 --> 51:10.660]  That wasn't you?
[51:10.660 --> 51:11.660]  Okay.
[51:11.660 --> 51:17.180]  No, that wasn't me, but by making your appearance, you've complied with everything you said you
[51:17.180 --> 51:24.100]  would in the citation, because the citation says to appear on or before.
[51:24.100 --> 51:27.100]  It does not limit you to a specific date and time.
[51:27.100 --> 51:29.500]  It's any time within that range.
[51:29.500 --> 51:32.060]  If you show up, you showed up.
[51:32.060 --> 51:33.540]  That's all you promised to do.
[51:33.540 --> 51:38.860]  Yeah, it says within 12 days, but as a matter of fact, it says what failure to any plea
[51:38.860 --> 51:43.740]  for each charge in person or by mail within 12 days of this citation result in a warrant
[51:43.740 --> 51:48.300]  being issued, and could result in the denial of driver's license and renewal-
[51:48.300 --> 51:52.460]  And you dare them to issue a warrant for that.
[51:52.460 --> 51:53.460]  Dare them.
[51:53.460 --> 51:54.460]  Yeah.
[51:54.460 --> 51:58.780]  Because there, they're issuing a warrant for failure to plea, not because of an adjudication
[51:58.780 --> 51:59.780]  of guilt.
[51:59.780 --> 52:00.780]  Yeah.
[52:00.780 --> 52:06.100]  You cannot be found guilty of the offense simply because you would not enter a plea
[52:06.100 --> 52:08.420]  prior to trial.
[52:08.420 --> 52:15.140]  In fact, the law in Chapter 45 says very clearly that in these Class C fine-only offenses,
[52:15.140 --> 52:22.580]  the defendant is required to enter their plea once the jury is impaneled, and that only
[52:22.580 --> 52:25.900]  happens the day of trial.
[52:25.900 --> 52:29.340]  So for them to attempt to tell you they're going to issue a warrant for your arrest or
[52:29.340 --> 52:35.540]  deny you a renewal or anything else on your license before there's ever a trial held,
[52:35.540 --> 52:39.020]  that's a complete and total violation and distortion of law.
[52:39.020 --> 52:42.020]  It's a municipal outfit.
[52:42.020 --> 52:43.280]  Of course it is.
[52:43.280 --> 52:45.300]  They all do exactly the same thing.
[52:45.300 --> 52:46.300]  Justice courts do it.
[52:46.300 --> 52:47.420]  Municipal courts do it.
[52:47.420 --> 52:49.740]  They're all a bunch of liars that don't read the law.
[52:49.740 --> 52:53.820]  They do what they want, not what we allowed them to do.
[52:53.820 --> 52:55.180]  Yes.
[52:55.180 --> 52:58.340]  And this is where we need to be putting the brakes on, right here.
[52:58.340 --> 52:59.340]  Yeah.
[52:59.340 --> 53:00.340]  All right.
[53:00.340 --> 53:03.540]  Eddie, I appreciate your time, and thank you for everything you do.
[53:03.540 --> 53:05.380]  You're very welcome, and thanks for calling in.
[53:05.380 --> 53:06.380]  Yes, sir.
[53:06.380 --> 53:07.380]  Good night.
[53:07.380 --> 53:08.380]  All right.
[53:08.380 --> 53:09.380]  I'm saying good night.
[53:09.380 --> 53:10.380]  Okay.
[53:10.380 --> 53:11.380]  That pretty much takes care of the callers, folks.
[53:11.380 --> 53:12.980]  Hopefully everybody's awake out there.
[53:12.980 --> 53:16.100]  Is it that late on a Thursday night?
[53:16.100 --> 53:17.100]  All right.
[53:17.100 --> 53:21.420]  Now, as long as we're waiting for somebody else to give us a call, let's talk about a
[53:21.420 --> 53:27.220]  couple other things here in relation to the things that we're dealing with in this regard.
[53:27.220 --> 53:33.340]  These lower courts have gotten to the point where they have operated with impunity for
[53:33.340 --> 53:36.740]  far too long, especially here in Texas.
[53:36.740 --> 53:40.140]  They're not accountable to anybody.
[53:40.140 --> 53:42.820]  They don't have to report to anybody.
[53:42.820 --> 53:47.620]  All they got to do is collect the money, and everybody else is happy.
[53:47.620 --> 53:56.060]  But the problem is they are violating law in what they do, and no matter how happy they
[53:56.060 --> 54:03.920]  make those above them, as far as the government side goes, the ones that are truly above them
[54:03.920 --> 54:08.940]  are the ones they're harming, and that's us.
[54:08.940 --> 54:14.380]  I don't know about you, but if a servant that worked for me walked up and cussed me out,
[54:14.380 --> 54:20.700]  punched me out, spit in my face, or stomped on my foot, and I did nothing to them to warrant
[54:20.700 --> 54:28.580]  such an action, somebody's getting fired and possibly dead, okay?
[54:28.580 --> 54:31.220]  Why should these people be any different?
[54:31.220 --> 54:32.940]  They are not the masters.
[54:32.940 --> 54:34.840]  They are the servants.
[54:34.840 --> 54:37.940]  We need to get them back under control.
[54:37.940 --> 54:39.380]  We need to rein them in.
[54:39.380 --> 54:47.220]  I mean, it's a good thing that I have not elected King of America for a day.
[54:47.220 --> 54:52.460]  If I was elected King of America for a day, there would be an awful lot of sway and light
[54:52.460 --> 55:03.300]  posts in every state of the Union, because there would be some mass cleanup going on.
[55:03.300 --> 55:07.500]  These people have gotten to the point where they believe they're all that in a bag of
[55:07.500 --> 55:11.540]  chips, and we the people are just sitting back and taking it.
[55:11.540 --> 55:12.540]  Why?
[55:12.540 --> 55:15.500]  They work for us.
[55:15.500 --> 55:21.780]  Why are we willing to accept this kind of treatment from a servant?
[55:21.780 --> 55:28.620]  I'm not willing to do it, and I'm making every effort to educate other people who are getting
[55:28.620 --> 55:33.460]  to the point where they're no longer willing to do it.
[55:33.460 --> 55:35.580]  So where's the rest of you?
[55:35.580 --> 55:38.780]  You're listening, but are you hearing?
[55:38.780 --> 55:41.860]  And you're hearing, but are you listening?
[55:41.860 --> 55:44.780]  You can do one and not the other.
[55:44.780 --> 55:50.220]  And even if you're hearing and listening, what are you doing with it?
[55:50.220 --> 55:52.620]  Are you just keeping the information to yourself?
[55:52.620 --> 55:54.460]  Are you sharing it with anybody?
[55:54.460 --> 55:59.140]  Are you putting it into action in any way?
[55:59.140 --> 56:02.340]  There's a steadfast rule here, folks.
[56:02.340 --> 56:11.740]  Government has never voluntarily surrendered a single iota of power it's managed to steal.
[56:11.740 --> 56:18.540]  Not in any history of any nation upon the face of the earth has government of any kind
[56:18.540 --> 56:24.340]  ever willingly surrendered its power.
[56:24.340 --> 56:30.940]  If we the people don't fight to take it back, by whatever means is still currently available
[56:30.940 --> 56:38.500]  to us, then we shouldn't be surprised when it finally becomes permanently lost.
[56:38.500 --> 56:42.900]  And all we're able to do is sit around and talk about, well, I remember back to good
[56:42.900 --> 56:47.260]  old days.
[56:47.260 --> 56:51.060]  There's plenty of good old days if we're willing to get them back.
[56:51.060 --> 56:54.620]  We've got plenty left.
[56:54.620 --> 57:00.980]  And we're not going to pay attention to what needs to be done, who will?
[57:00.980 --> 57:06.900]  It's no longer the fox garden hen house or the inmates running the asylum, okay?
[57:06.900 --> 57:12.300]  It's a bunch of rabid wolves that are even willing to feed on each other that will not
[57:12.300 --> 57:19.200]  stop until everything they can reach is consumed.
[57:19.200 --> 57:23.880]  Government exists completely for the sake of government these days, not for the rights
[57:23.880 --> 57:28.780]  of the people, not for the protection of the people, but simply so government has something
[57:28.780 --> 57:32.660]  to do.
[57:32.660 --> 57:36.980]  And that was never the intent.
[57:36.980 --> 57:42.980]  And we're more than happy just to sit around, eat our hot lunches and watch our football
[57:42.980 --> 57:48.220]  games and talk about the sweet things we would like to have or like to do if it wasn't for
[57:48.220 --> 57:53.620]  what the government wasn't allowing us to do.
[57:53.620 --> 57:55.340]  Get out of that mindset.
[57:55.340 --> 57:58.220]  Get up off your backsides and get something going.
[57:58.220 --> 57:59.220]  We've got to.
[57:59.220 --> 58:00.220]  All right.
[58:00.220 --> 58:05.020]  We are now at the top of the hour.
[58:05.020 --> 58:07.820]  We've got one more hour to go.
[58:07.820 --> 58:13.220]  512-646-1984 is the call-in number.
[58:13.220 --> 58:18.220]  This is Rule of Law Radio with Deborah Stevens, Randy Kelton, Eddie Craig.
[58:18.220 --> 58:22.060]  We're going to take a short break, but we'll be back on the other side, so please give
[58:22.060 --> 58:23.060]  us a call.
[58:23.060 --> 58:27.140]  Let us know what's on your mind, what questions you've got, or what problems you're facing.
[58:27.140 --> 58:30.540]  And that's something we can do to help you figure it out.
[58:30.540 --> 59:00.140]  We'll be right back on the other side of the break.
[59:00.140 --> 59:05.580]  The Bible remains the most popular book in the world, yet countless readers are frustrated
[59:05.580 --> 59:08.380]  because they struggle to understand it.
[59:08.380 --> 59:13.780]  Some new translations try to help by simplifying the text, but in the process can compromise
[59:13.780 --> 59:17.020]  the profound meaning of the Scripture.
[59:17.020 --> 59:18.780]  Enter the Recovery Version.
[59:18.780 --> 59:24.720]  First, this new translation is extremely faithful and accurate, but the real story is the more
[59:24.720 --> 59:28.460]  than 9,000 explanatory footnotes.
[59:28.460 --> 59:33.660]  Deep and profound passages are opened up in a marvelous way, providing an entrance into
[59:33.660 --> 59:38.140]  the riches of the Word beyond which you've ever experienced before.
[59:38.140 --> 59:43.300]  Bibles for America would like to give you a free Recovery Version simply for the asking.

[59:57.820 --> 01:00:04.500]  This news brief brought to you by the International News Net.
[01:00:04.500 --> 01:00:09.860]  A study published in the Lancet Journal Thursday says the cholera epidemic in Haiti could spread
[01:00:09.860 --> 01:00:13.900]  to nearly 800,000 people, double the U.N. estimate.
[01:00:13.900 --> 01:00:18.540]  The Lancet study says vaccinations, clean drinking water and antibiotics are the only
[01:00:18.540 --> 01:00:20.660]  way to prevent the disease spreading.
[01:00:20.660 --> 01:00:27.300]  The study predicts 779,000 Haitians will contract the disease, leading to 11,100 deaths in the
[01:00:27.300 --> 01:00:30.300]  next 8 months.
[01:00:30.300 --> 01:00:35.420]  Tunisians marched in Tunis under tight security Wednesday to protest U.S. Secretary of State
[01:00:35.420 --> 01:00:40.460]  Hillary Clinton's visit, chanting, quote, Tunisia is free and not for sale.
[01:00:40.460 --> 01:00:48.340]  Between 1987 and 2009, the U.S. military sold $349 million worth of arms to recently deposed
[01:00:48.340 --> 01:00:50.460]  President Ben Ali's government.
[01:00:50.460 --> 01:00:57.260]  Last year the Obama administration asked Congress to approve a $280 million sale of 12 military
[01:00:57.260 --> 01:00:59.220]  helicopters to Tunisia.
[01:00:59.220 --> 01:01:05.020]  The U.K. Guardian reported Thursday the U.S. military is developing software that will let
[01:01:05.020 --> 01:01:10.860]  it secretly manipulate social media using fake online identities designed to influence
[01:01:10.860 --> 01:01:15.060]  Internet conversations and spread pro-U.S. propaganda.
[01:01:15.060 --> 01:01:20.100]  A California company has been awarded a contract with the U.S. Central Command to develop an
[01:01:20.100 --> 01:01:25.420]  online persona management service that will allow one service member to control up to
[01:01:25.420 --> 01:01:29.180]  10 separate identities at a time.
[01:01:29.180 --> 01:01:35.420]  A U.N. forecast for the movement of the radioactive plume coming from crippled Japanese reactors
[01:01:35.420 --> 01:01:39.340]  shows it will hit Southern California late Friday.
[01:01:39.340 --> 01:01:44.420]  Health and nuclear experts emphasize that radiation in the plume will be diluted and
[01:01:44.420 --> 01:01:49.220]  at worse would have extremely minor health consequences in the U.S.
[01:01:49.220 --> 01:01:54.820]  The projection by the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization, an arm of the U.N., gave
[01:01:54.820 --> 01:02:00.260]  no information about actual radiation levels but only showed how a radioactive plume would
[01:02:00.260 --> 01:02:02.460]  probably move and disperse.
[01:02:02.460 --> 01:02:07.380]  The test ban treaty group has more than 60 stations that sniff the air for radiation
[01:02:07.380 --> 01:02:13.420]  spikes and uses weather forecasts and powerful computers to model the transport of radiation
[01:02:13.420 --> 01:02:16.140]  on the winds.
[01:02:16.140 --> 01:02:21.220]  In Manama, Bahrain, at least three demonstrators were killed Wednesday, more than 1,000 injured
[01:02:21.220 --> 01:02:25.740]  and several opposition leaders and activists arrested following a violent crackdown on
[01:02:25.740 --> 01:02:27.460]  anti-government protests.
[01:02:27.460 --> 01:02:31.700]  Bahrain state television reported leaders of the civil strife had been arrested for
[01:02:31.700 --> 01:02:36.900]  communicating with foreign countries and inciting murder and destruction of property.
[01:02:36.900 --> 01:02:40.140]  Soldiers took opposition figures into custody without warning.
[01:02:40.140 --> 01:02:44.500]  Protesters ignored warnings Thursday to stay home and gathered in Deir and Jiddaf just
[01:02:44.500 --> 01:02:45.740]  outside Manama.
[01:02:45.740 --> 01:02:52.740]  They were violently dispersed by security forces.
[01:03:15.740 --> 01:03:26.700]  They were trapped on Babylon, among the whole nation, but they didn't operate the land
[01:03:26.700 --> 01:03:27.700]  wrong.
[01:03:27.700 --> 01:03:32.700]  I'm going to tell the Republicans and the Ospreys to tell them I'm a libertarian.
[01:03:32.700 --> 01:03:35.700]  They'll say we're not Jews, but we're going to do it wrong.
[01:03:35.700 --> 01:03:50.980]  All right, folks.
[01:03:50.980 --> 01:03:51.980]  We are back.
[01:03:51.980 --> 01:03:53.740]  We have a couple more callers on board now.
[01:03:53.740 --> 01:03:56.740]  We have Matthew in Texas and Brian in Minnesota.
[01:03:56.740 --> 01:03:57.740]  Let's go to Matthew.
[01:03:57.740 --> 01:03:59.740]  Matthew, what can we do for you?
[01:03:59.740 --> 01:04:11.540]  Well, I have a couple of tickets, traffic tickets, I ran a red light in Austin and was
[01:04:11.540 --> 01:04:15.900]  speeding in Pflugerville on the tollway.
[01:04:15.900 --> 01:04:20.900]  I paid the, you know, I signed up for a driver's ed course.
[01:04:20.900 --> 01:04:27.700]  I've got a clean driver's record, but I signed up for a driver's ed course.
[01:04:27.700 --> 01:04:35.380]  So I paid the fine, unfortunately, or paid the fee, whatever, and then I paid part of
[01:04:35.380 --> 01:04:39.340]  the fee in Pflugerville.
[01:04:39.340 --> 01:04:43.860]  Do I have my debt in the water or do I have any recourse?
[01:04:43.860 --> 01:04:48.340]  If you've paid the fine in any way, shape or form, it's over.
[01:04:48.340 --> 01:04:53.780]  The only argument you have is whether or not the court had jurisdiction to have the trial
[01:04:53.780 --> 01:04:58.020]  and collect the fine to begin with.
[01:04:58.020 --> 01:05:03.700]  Now if these are municipal citations, that argument can be made, but you need to understand
[01:05:03.700 --> 01:05:05.780]  it before you try to make it.
[01:05:05.780 --> 01:05:06.780]  Okay.
[01:05:06.780 --> 01:05:10.220]  How do I understand it?
[01:05:10.220 --> 01:05:11.500]  By studying.
[01:05:11.500 --> 01:05:14.900]  The first thing is is what vets the court with jurisdiction.
[01:05:14.900 --> 01:05:21.660]  A court must have three particulars of jurisdiction in order to have jurisdiction at all.
[01:05:21.660 --> 01:05:24.200]  The first is subject matter.
[01:05:24.200 --> 01:05:29.780]  That means they must have jurisdiction of the particular subject or the offense regarding
[01:05:29.780 --> 01:05:31.500]  the subject.
[01:05:31.500 --> 01:05:33.700]  The second thing is is impersonal.
[01:05:33.700 --> 01:05:39.100]  They must have jurisdiction of the alleged perpetrator of the offense.
[01:05:39.100 --> 01:05:41.620]  And the third is venue.
[01:05:41.620 --> 01:05:49.260]  They must have jurisdiction for where the offense was allegedly committed, okay?
[01:05:49.260 --> 01:05:57.420]  The problem here is they must also have a proper charging instrument in order to get
[01:05:57.420 --> 01:06:01.380]  any of that jurisdiction put into place.
[01:06:01.380 --> 01:06:06.700]  Now what the municipalities have tried to do for the last several decades is to use
[01:06:06.700 --> 01:06:14.300]  a statute that has not existed since 1999 as an excuse to circumvent the constitutional
[01:06:14.300 --> 01:06:19.180]  requirement and the statutory requirement for a proper charging instrument, which is
[01:06:19.180 --> 01:06:22.860]  an indictment or an information.
[01:06:22.860 --> 01:06:29.380]  They try to say that the complaint is a charging instrument, but nowhere in Texas law is a
[01:06:29.380 --> 01:06:34.900]  complaint ever defined as a charging instrument.
[01:06:34.900 --> 01:06:37.180]  Okay.
[01:06:37.180 --> 01:06:43.740]  So if a municipality did this, then you can show very clearly they lack jurisdiction because
[01:06:43.740 --> 01:06:47.900]  an information was never done.
[01:06:47.900 --> 01:06:49.740]  They did that at all.
[01:06:49.740 --> 01:06:54.020]  And then they didn't do that if you pleaded no contest or guilty.
[01:06:54.020 --> 01:06:57.780]  They used the citation alone.
[01:06:57.780 --> 01:06:59.420]  Okay.
[01:06:59.420 --> 01:07:10.880]  Where do I go to get this information so that I can present it in some way?
[01:07:10.880 --> 01:07:15.940]  If you have the seminar material, there is a motion in the seminar material for that.
[01:07:15.940 --> 01:07:20.900]  Motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, improper charging instrument, no indictment
[01:07:20.900 --> 01:07:27.980]  or information, and it would give you all the specific statutes that support the argument.
[01:07:27.980 --> 01:07:32.580]  If you don't have the seminar material, then you have to research the Texas Constitution
[01:07:32.580 --> 01:07:35.220]  and the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure to learn it.
[01:07:35.220 --> 01:07:37.900]  How do I get the seminar material?
[01:07:37.900 --> 01:07:44.100]  You can either order it from the rule of law website or you can go down and get it at Brave
[01:07:44.100 --> 01:07:51.220]  New Books or you can send me an email and I'll make arrangements to make you a copy
[01:07:51.220 --> 01:07:54.900]  of it and then get it to you at one of the seminars downtown or something.
[01:07:54.900 --> 01:07:55.900]  Okay.
[01:07:55.900 --> 01:07:58.980]  Are you doing the seminar on Saturday, this Saturday?
[01:07:58.980 --> 01:07:59.980]  Yes.
[01:07:59.980 --> 01:08:02.980]  Saturday, 3 to 6.
[01:08:02.980 --> 01:08:03.980]  At Brave New Books?
[01:08:03.980 --> 01:08:04.980]  Yes.
[01:08:04.980 --> 01:08:05.980]  Okay.
[01:08:05.980 --> 01:08:07.980]  And that's what, 3 to 6?
[01:08:07.980 --> 01:08:08.980]  3 to 6.
[01:08:08.980 --> 01:08:09.980]  Okay, great.
[01:08:09.980 --> 01:08:10.980]  Thank you, sir.
[01:08:10.980 --> 01:08:11.980]  You're welcome.
[01:08:11.980 --> 01:08:12.980]  Okay.
[01:08:12.980 --> 01:08:13.980]  Bye-bye.
[01:08:13.980 --> 01:08:14.980]  Bye-bye.
[01:08:14.980 --> 01:08:15.980]  All right.
[01:08:15.980 --> 01:08:18.980]  Now we have Brian in Minnesota.
[01:08:18.980 --> 01:08:19.980]  Evening, Brian.
[01:08:19.980 --> 01:08:21.980]  What can we do for you?
[01:08:21.980 --> 01:08:22.980]  What's up, Eddie?
[01:08:22.980 --> 01:08:24.980]  You all alone tonight?
[01:08:24.980 --> 01:08:29.980]  Well, except for what Debra's having to carry on in the background at the moment, yes.
[01:08:29.980 --> 01:08:30.980]  Oh, okay.
[01:08:30.980 --> 01:08:34.980]  So I got a question concerning the rules of evidence.
[01:08:34.980 --> 01:08:35.980]  Okay.
[01:08:35.980 --> 01:08:36.980]  I've been busy.
[01:08:36.980 --> 01:08:40.980]  I've got like four cases of my own and I'm trying to help some other people out.
[01:08:40.980 --> 01:08:45.980]  But I wanted to call on your experience and see if you could help me out, which something
[01:08:45.980 --> 01:08:51.980]  just seems wrong in the first place is this warrant they issued for this person to seize
[01:08:51.980 --> 01:08:52.980]  some property.
[01:08:52.980 --> 01:08:58.980]  They seized the property, but the original reason the warrant was issued for, they didn't
[01:08:58.980 --> 01:09:02.980]  take that evidence.
[01:09:02.980 --> 01:09:04.980]  Okay.
[01:09:04.980 --> 01:09:09.980]  So they seized something other than what the warrant allowed them to seize or does what
[01:09:09.980 --> 01:09:13.980]  they seized fall within the parameters of the warrant?
[01:09:13.980 --> 01:09:19.980]  What they seized falls in with parameters of the warrant, but in order to like get probable
[01:09:19.980 --> 01:09:24.980]  cause for entry, they just made up something else more or less.
[01:09:24.980 --> 01:09:31.980]  And that cause they used for entry was, let's just say...
[01:09:31.980 --> 01:09:32.980]  Okay.
[01:09:32.980 --> 01:09:35.980]  Do you have a copy of the affidavit that was used to request the warrant?
[01:09:35.980 --> 01:09:36.980]  Yeah.
[01:09:36.980 --> 01:09:37.980]  Yeah, I do.
[01:09:37.980 --> 01:09:39.980]  And then you have the warrant itself.
[01:09:39.980 --> 01:09:40.980]  Right.
[01:09:40.980 --> 01:09:49.980]  Does the warrant go outside the parameters of what was requested?
[01:09:49.980 --> 01:09:51.980]  No.
[01:09:51.980 --> 01:09:52.980]  No.
[01:09:52.980 --> 01:09:53.980]  Okay.
[01:09:53.980 --> 01:10:01.980]  So I just thought it was like the initial reason they used to make entry was...
[01:10:01.980 --> 01:10:03.980]  Well, they can try to be specific.
[01:10:03.980 --> 01:10:08.980]  The thing is, is it all depends upon what the language is in the request and in the
[01:10:08.980 --> 01:10:11.980]  warrant that's issued based upon the request.
[01:10:11.980 --> 01:10:18.980]  There's nothing that limits the warrant to be only encompassing of that which is requested.
[01:10:18.980 --> 01:10:24.980]  It can be anything in relation to that particular type of offense.
[01:10:24.980 --> 01:10:33.980]  If it is something completely unrelated, however, that's another matter.
[01:10:33.980 --> 01:10:34.980]  Okay.
[01:10:34.980 --> 01:10:35.980]  Okay.
[01:10:35.980 --> 01:10:36.980]  All right.
[01:10:36.980 --> 01:10:38.980]  I think that'll help me out.
[01:10:38.980 --> 01:10:45.980]  And then I guess if you've got time to answer this one, I was looking into the ab initio,
[01:10:45.980 --> 01:10:51.980]  and you guys have that beautiful case in Texas with the American mortgage insurance,
[01:10:51.980 --> 01:10:55.980]  I think it is, and I was looking for kind of language.
[01:10:55.980 --> 01:11:01.980]  I haven't found anything quite that good here in Minnesota, but I love how that's worded,
[01:11:01.980 --> 01:11:08.980]  and I was thinking since it's a doctrine, I was going to apply that case in my Minnesota...
[01:11:08.980 --> 01:11:14.980]  You can use other states' decisions if you cannot find one that's on point and relevant
[01:11:14.980 --> 01:11:17.980]  within your particular jurisprudence of your state.
[01:11:17.980 --> 01:11:18.980]  Okay.
[01:11:18.980 --> 01:11:24.980]  So that in and of itself is not an issue, but what you need to find is whether or not
[01:11:24.980 --> 01:11:28.980]  there is similar related jurisprudence in your state.
[01:11:28.980 --> 01:11:33.980]  If you can't find one, I would take the Texas case you're referring to down to the nearest
[01:11:33.980 --> 01:11:38.980]  law library and have them see if they can come up with anything that's relevant within
[01:11:38.980 --> 01:11:42.980]  your state for it, and if there isn't, then you're good to go.
[01:11:42.980 --> 01:11:43.980]  Okay.
[01:11:43.980 --> 01:11:44.980]  Well, and I was thinking...
[01:11:44.980 --> 01:11:48.980]  Just don't forget to shepardize your case.
[01:11:48.980 --> 01:11:50.980]  I'm using shepardize.
[01:11:50.980 --> 01:11:52.980]  That's like a...
[01:11:52.980 --> 01:11:54.980]  I'm using Westlaw a lot, so I don't...
[01:11:54.980 --> 01:12:01.980]  Well, Westlaw will give you a shepard's annotations on whether or not that is still good case law.
[01:12:01.980 --> 01:12:02.980]  Okay.
[01:12:02.980 --> 01:12:07.980]  When you shepardize a case, your research, you get to see if it's been superseded by
[01:12:07.980 --> 01:12:11.980]  any other decision.
[01:12:11.980 --> 01:12:12.980]  Okay.
[01:12:12.980 --> 01:12:18.980]  I was thinking, since it's a doctrine, like the ab initio doctrine, it should be kind
[01:12:18.980 --> 01:12:19.980]  of...
[01:12:19.980 --> 01:12:22.980]  It should all kind of co-mingle together, shouldn't it?
[01:12:22.980 --> 01:12:23.980]  Yeah.
[01:12:23.980 --> 01:12:30.980]  Well, one thing you don't want to do with law is use logic, because they will find a
[01:12:30.980 --> 01:12:36.980]  way of defeating the logical application of law no matter what you do.
[01:12:36.980 --> 01:12:41.980]  I mean, you would think that when you drop a rock off the Empire State Building, logic
[01:12:41.980 --> 01:12:47.980]  says it's on its way down, but there will be 500 legal reasons why down is not the proper
[01:12:47.980 --> 01:12:48.980]  term.
[01:12:48.980 --> 01:12:50.980]  You understand?
[01:12:50.980 --> 01:13:00.980]  The result is going to be the same, but without the proper wording, it won't mean anything.
[01:13:00.980 --> 01:13:06.980]  So to the warrant issue, it's all about the language from the issue, the affidavit, to
[01:13:06.980 --> 01:13:08.980]  what's in the final...
[01:13:08.980 --> 01:13:10.980]  In the warrant.
[01:13:10.980 --> 01:13:11.980]  Right.
[01:13:11.980 --> 01:13:12.980]  Okay.
[01:13:12.980 --> 01:13:13.980]  All right.
[01:13:13.980 --> 01:13:17.980]  We'll have to break that down, I guess.
[01:13:17.980 --> 01:13:24.980]  They should not be issuing warrants above and beyond the scope of what was requested,
[01:13:24.980 --> 01:13:32.980]  and they can't make a request that is so general that it's nonspecific, because then it's just
[01:13:32.980 --> 01:13:34.980]  a phishing warrant.
[01:13:34.980 --> 01:13:38.980]  How would you handle a phishing warrant?
[01:13:38.980 --> 01:13:45.980]  You would move to cross the warrant and the affidavit associated with it because it was
[01:13:45.980 --> 01:13:48.980]  geared toward doing nothing more than a phishing expedition.
[01:13:48.980 --> 01:13:52.980]  It had nothing to do with the reliable seizure or discovery of any evidence.
[01:13:52.980 --> 01:13:54.980]  It was a phishing expedition.
[01:13:54.980 --> 01:14:01.980]  What about like the guy that swore out the affidavit said he got information from a credible
[01:14:01.980 --> 01:14:06.980]  source, but to me, this person's not credible because I witnessed him assault somebody.
[01:14:06.980 --> 01:14:12.980]  Well, that doesn't necessarily make him not credible unless he's convicted of it.
[01:14:12.980 --> 01:14:20.980]  Okay.
[01:14:20.980 --> 01:14:22.980]  Is there anything else?
[01:14:22.980 --> 01:14:23.980]  No, that'll do it.
[01:14:23.980 --> 01:14:24.980]  Thank you very much.
[01:14:24.980 --> 01:14:25.980]  You're very welcome.
[01:14:25.980 --> 01:14:27.980]  Thanks for calling in.
[01:14:27.980 --> 01:14:28.980]  All right.
[01:14:28.980 --> 01:14:30.980]  Now we have Lynn in Texas.
[01:14:30.980 --> 01:14:31.980]  Hello, Lynn.
[01:14:31.980 --> 01:14:32.980]  How can we help you?
[01:14:32.980 --> 01:14:39.980]  Yeah, I went down to the Texas Capitol this last Saturday, and there was a rally of teachers
[01:14:39.980 --> 01:14:43.980]  protesting budget cuts, but I didn't go there for that and I wasn't connected with them.
[01:14:43.980 --> 01:14:48.980]  But there was a girl drawing with chalk on the sidewalk along 11th Street that borders
[01:14:48.980 --> 01:14:53.980]  the Capitol perimeter, and a couple of Texas state troopers that guard the Capitol came
[01:14:53.980 --> 01:14:57.980]  along on the other side of the fence and told her to stop drawing.
[01:14:57.980 --> 01:15:00.980]  I couldn't hear all that was going on, but she protested she'd already had some kind
[01:15:00.980 --> 01:15:02.980]  of clearance to draw on that area of the sidewalk.
[01:15:02.980 --> 01:15:06.980]  I had a video camera in my hand and it was rolling, and since I couldn't hear what was
[01:15:06.980 --> 01:15:10.980]  going on, I stepped closer to them to try to hear what was going on, but I still couldn't.
[01:15:10.980 --> 01:15:14.980]  And then the troopers went away, and both of them were black.
[01:15:14.980 --> 01:15:19.980]  One was a male and the other was a diminutive female, and they moved on.
[01:15:19.980 --> 01:15:24.980]  And then a few minutes later, a trooper patrol car came and parked along the road along
[01:15:24.980 --> 01:15:26.980]  next to the sidewalk.
[01:15:26.980 --> 01:15:30.980]  And then a few minutes after that, troopers on bicycles and foot started gathering around.
[01:15:30.980 --> 01:15:33.980]  And I could see there was some trouble brewing, but I didn't think it involved me since I
[01:15:33.980 --> 01:15:35.980]  didn't do anything.
[01:15:35.980 --> 01:15:40.980]  So the diminutive female trooper shows up and starts pointing people out.
[01:15:40.980 --> 01:15:42.980]  And she points in my direction.
[01:15:42.980 --> 01:15:45.980]  Her finger seemed to point to the side past me, so I'd look behind me to see who she was
[01:15:45.980 --> 01:15:47.980]  pointing at, and there was nobody there.
[01:15:47.980 --> 01:15:50.980]  So when I turned back around, she says, yes, you.
[01:15:50.980 --> 01:15:53.980]  And she definitely had a chip on her shoulder.
[01:15:53.980 --> 01:15:56.980]  So another trooper says to stand over to the side, and I go over there where they tell
[01:15:56.980 --> 01:15:58.980]  me to stand.
[01:15:58.980 --> 01:16:01.980]  And a trooper on a bicycle comes along and starts mentioning IDs.
[01:16:01.980 --> 01:16:05.980]  And I'm saying, well, I'm exercising my right to remain silent.
[01:16:05.980 --> 01:16:08.980]  And he grunts, and he says something like, there is no right to remain silent.
[01:16:08.980 --> 01:16:11.980]  He was connecting it with the Fifth Amendment by mentioning that you have to be charged
[01:16:11.980 --> 01:16:14.980]  or something for that protection.
[01:16:14.980 --> 01:16:17.980]  And so then he says he doesn't like the attitude I'm showing, and I might pose a danger to
[01:16:17.980 --> 01:16:19.980]  him.
[01:16:19.980 --> 01:16:24.980]  And before he's protecting his protection, he's going to fulfill what's in my pocket.
[01:16:24.980 --> 01:16:26.980]  And so that's what he did.
[01:16:26.980 --> 01:16:28.980]  And I told him, well, you don't have my permission to do that.
[01:16:28.980 --> 01:16:32.980]  And he says, I don't need your permission.
[01:16:32.980 --> 01:16:35.980]  And I hear the music coming, so.
[01:16:35.980 --> 01:16:36.980]  Yeah.
[01:16:36.980 --> 01:16:39.980]  Hang on just a minute, Lynn, and we'll pick you up on the other side of the break.
[01:16:39.980 --> 01:16:40.980]  Sure.
[01:16:40.980 --> 01:16:41.980]  All right, folks.
[01:16:41.980 --> 01:16:45.980]  We have Lynn and Vince on the line, and we'll get back to them on the other side of the
[01:16:45.980 --> 01:16:49.980]  break, 512-646-1984 is the call-in number.
[01:16:49.980 --> 01:16:53.980]  If you have any questions, comments, or anything, we have three more segments left in the show,
[01:16:53.980 --> 01:16:54.980]  so give us a call.
[01:16:54.980 --> 01:16:59.980]  We'll be right back after this break.
[01:16:59.980 --> 01:17:04.980]  Capital Coin and Bullion is your local source for rare coins, precious metals, and coin
[01:17:04.980 --> 01:17:06.980]  supplies in the Austin metro area.
[01:17:06.980 --> 01:17:08.980]  We also ship worldwide.

[01:17:13.980 --> 01:17:18.980]  Because of you, Austin, business has been so good that we've had to move to a new and
[01:17:18.980 --> 01:17:19.980]  bigger location.
[01:17:19.980 --> 01:17:26.980]  We're now located at 7304 Burnet Road Suite A, 1.2 miles north on Burnet from our previous
[01:17:26.980 --> 01:17:27.980]  location.
[01:17:27.980 --> 01:17:31.980]  We're on the west side of Burnet Road in the Stanley Insurance Building on the ground floor
[01:17:31.980 --> 01:17:34.980]  next to the Ishiban Sushi and the Genie Car Wash.
[01:17:34.980 --> 01:17:38.980]  We're open Monday through Friday, 10 to 6, Saturdays 10 to 5.
[01:17:38.980 --> 01:17:44.980]  You're welcome to stop in during regular business hours or call 512-646-6440.
[01:17:44.980 --> 01:17:49.980]  Ask for Chad or Becky and say that you heard about us on Rule of Law Radio or Texas Liberty
[01:17:49.980 --> 01:17:50.980]  Radio.
[01:17:50.980 --> 01:17:55.980]  That's Capital Coin and Bullion at our new location at 7304 Burnet Road Suite A or call
[01:17:55.980 --> 01:17:59.980]  512-646-6440.
[01:17:59.980 --> 01:18:03.980]  My name is Randall Kelton, and I co-host on Rule of Law Radio.
[01:18:03.980 --> 01:18:08.980]  We specialize in showing people how to strike back against corrupt public officials.
[01:18:08.980 --> 01:18:12.980]  With the mortgage crisis worsening, we set our sights on finding a remedy for people
[01:18:12.980 --> 01:18:14.980]  who have been cheated by their lenders.
[01:18:14.980 --> 01:18:19.980]  If you have a mortgage or have paid yours off, you have probably been cheated out of
[01:18:19.980 --> 01:18:21.980]  thousands, but there is a remedy.
[01:18:21.980 --> 01:18:30.980]  Go to remediesinrealestate.com or call me at 512-430-4140 and find out how to use the
[01:18:30.980 --> 01:18:36.980]  consumer protection laws to recover what the lenders have stolen through fraud and deception.
[01:18:36.980 --> 01:18:41.980]  We will prepare for you a qualified written request that will expose the fraud and put
[01:18:41.980 --> 01:18:42.980]  the lenders on the dime.
[01:18:42.980 --> 01:18:47.980]  Lender fraud is bankrupting this country, and it's time to fight back.
[01:18:47.980 --> 01:18:56.980]  Go to remediesinrealestate.com or call 512-430-4140 and get the information you need to stop the
[01:18:56.980 --> 01:19:00.980]  money changers in their tracks.
[01:19:26.980 --> 01:19:35.980]  All right, folks, we are back.
[01:19:35.980 --> 01:19:37.980]  This is Rule of Law Radio.
[01:19:37.980 --> 01:19:39.980]  Eddie Craig, Randy Kelton, Debra Stevens.
[01:19:39.980 --> 01:19:43.980]  512-646-1984 is the call-in number.
[01:19:43.980 --> 01:19:49.980]  We have about 45 minutes left in the show, so please, folks, if you're out there listening,
[01:19:49.980 --> 01:19:52.980]  if you have any issues or questions, give us a call.
[01:19:52.980 --> 01:19:54.980]  Vince, we see you on the board there.
[01:19:54.980 --> 01:19:55.980]  Please hang on.
[01:19:55.980 --> 01:19:58.980]  We're going to finish up with Lynn, and then we'll move over to you.
[01:19:58.980 --> 01:20:00.980]  All right, Lynn, please continue.
[01:20:00.980 --> 01:20:04.980]  Okay, well, when we left before the break, I was standing there.
[01:20:04.980 --> 01:20:11.980]  This one trooper sort of frisked me, and then he goes away, and another trooper comes and talks to me.
[01:20:11.980 --> 01:20:16.980]  And I don't remember any of that time being actually asked for my ID.
[01:20:16.980 --> 01:20:17.980]  But I might have missed it.
[01:20:17.980 --> 01:20:19.980]  There was a little stress at all.
[01:20:19.980 --> 01:20:24.980]  I wasn't badly stressed, but being in that position is bad.
[01:20:24.980 --> 01:20:31.980]  So this trooper talks for about five minutes, sort of giving me a feel for, I guess, getting a feel for me or whatever.
[01:20:31.980 --> 01:20:38.980]  And then he decides to act, and he says, this is your final warning before I arrest you for failure with ID.
[01:20:38.980 --> 01:20:43.980]  And he said that if ID, that I could go after stating that I was only observing previously.
[01:20:43.980 --> 01:20:48.980]  And so I thought for a few seconds about it, whether it was worth taking the risk of being arrested.
[01:20:48.980 --> 01:20:51.980]  And I decided this time wasn't the time.
[01:20:51.980 --> 01:20:56.980]  So I showed him my driver's license and stated that I was only observing, and then I left.
[01:20:56.980 --> 01:21:04.980]  And my question, well, I went and researched afterwards and looked up the law for failure to show ID.
[01:21:04.980 --> 01:21:06.980]  The only thing I found was something in 2004.
[01:21:06.980 --> 01:21:12.980]  I don't know if it's changed at them, but that law said that you had to be arrested before you had to show ID.
[01:21:12.980 --> 01:21:13.980]  That's correct.
[01:21:13.980 --> 01:21:22.980]  Code 28.02, penal code, failure to identify, only applies if you have already been lawfully arrested.
[01:21:22.980 --> 01:21:30.980]  Well, it sounds like this cop was trying to play that card by saying that he didn't like this caller's attitude,
[01:21:30.980 --> 01:21:35.980]  that he didn't like Lynn's attitude and felt threatened by him.
[01:21:35.980 --> 01:21:45.980]  But he was considering in his mind that he was placing Lynn under arrest for feeling threatened and using that as an excuse to demand ID.
[01:21:45.980 --> 01:21:47.980]  Well, this was actually a different officer.
[01:21:47.980 --> 01:21:51.980]  This was a different officer that was making this address to him than the one that actually told him he felt threatened.
[01:21:51.980 --> 01:21:52.980]  Okay.
[01:21:52.980 --> 01:21:55.980]  Well, then they can't use that as an excuse then.
[01:21:55.980 --> 01:22:00.980]  So what I would do first and foremost, Lynn, is I would file criminal charges
[01:22:00.980 --> 01:22:05.980]  and complaints against both the diminutive little officer that started the whole thing
[01:22:05.980 --> 01:22:17.980]  and both officers that came up and forced you through this entire scenario, the first one and all of them for unlawful detainer.
[01:22:17.980 --> 01:22:24.980]  Now, since I don't know any of their names, I saw their name tags, but I don't remember what their names were because of the situation.
[01:22:24.980 --> 01:22:27.980]  How do I find out who to file them against?
[01:22:27.980 --> 01:22:31.980]  Well, you have a camera, right?
[01:22:31.980 --> 01:22:32.980]  Well, the camera wasn't rolling.
[01:22:32.980 --> 01:22:38.980]  I had already handed it over to somebody else, and they didn't have it rolling when...
[01:22:38.980 --> 01:22:43.980]  Well, now, I thought you said you were recording when the DPS officers were talking to this girl at the fence.
[01:22:43.980 --> 01:22:45.980]  Yeah, I was recording then.
[01:22:45.980 --> 01:22:46.980]  Okay.
[01:22:46.980 --> 01:22:50.980]  So you have pictures of the little female officer we're talking about.
[01:22:50.980 --> 01:22:52.980]  That's correct.
[01:22:52.980 --> 01:22:55.980]  Then you have a name to start with.
[01:22:55.980 --> 01:23:04.980]  You get that name and you go up from there because she's the one that made the original false accusation against you.
[01:23:04.980 --> 01:23:05.980]  Right.
[01:23:05.980 --> 01:23:07.980]  How do I get the name from the picture on the camera?
[01:23:07.980 --> 01:23:09.980]  Is it a digital camera?
[01:23:09.980 --> 01:23:11.980]  I believe it is, yes.
[01:23:11.980 --> 01:23:19.980]  Then you should be able to zoom in on any part of the picture on that digital camera right up to her name tag unless she was 100 yards away or something.
[01:23:19.980 --> 01:23:22.980]  Only if you zoomed in when you were recording it.
[01:23:22.980 --> 01:23:23.980]  You know, I'm not sure.
[01:23:23.980 --> 01:23:31.980]  No, actually, you can zoom in on the picture even then afterwards and get down into the picture itself.
[01:23:31.980 --> 01:23:37.980]  That all depends upon what resolution you were recording at as to how well you're going to be able to do that, of course.
[01:23:37.980 --> 01:23:38.980]  Right.
[01:23:38.980 --> 01:23:46.980]  But those digital pictures, if it's like 10 megapixels, you would be astounded how far you can zoom into that picture and still get good detail.
[01:23:46.980 --> 01:23:49.980]  Okay, well, I'll try to do that and see how it goes.
[01:23:49.980 --> 01:24:02.980]  But if nothing else, steal images from your camera relating to the video that you took and say this female officer right here.
[01:24:02.980 --> 01:24:03.980]  Who is she?
[01:24:03.980 --> 01:24:06.980]  I'm making a criminal complaint against her.
[01:24:06.980 --> 01:24:12.980]  And I need to speak to Internal Affairs because I'm making a complaint against her.
[01:24:12.980 --> 01:24:16.980]  I want her name and badge number.
[01:24:16.980 --> 01:24:22.980]  And once you get that, then you can get your hands on the information from the other officers that were present.
[01:24:22.980 --> 01:24:30.980]  Because anyone that talked to you should have filed a police report for that day.
[01:24:30.980 --> 01:24:34.980]  For the whole day or for each incident?
[01:24:34.980 --> 01:24:38.980]  For every incident.
[01:24:38.980 --> 01:24:44.980]  Any time they're involved in an incident in which they actively participate, they should be filling out a report.
[01:24:44.980 --> 01:24:49.980]  And is that obtainable by Public Information Act request?
[01:24:49.980 --> 01:24:52.980]  It should be.
[01:24:52.980 --> 01:24:53.980]  Okay.
[01:24:53.980 --> 01:25:04.980]  You can go down there and tell them, I want a copy of the police report for any incident that involves me personally from this day.
[01:25:04.980 --> 01:25:09.980]  And I guess their main office is outside the Capitol.
[01:25:09.980 --> 01:25:12.980]  Do you know that or do they have one like inside the Capitol?
[01:25:12.980 --> 01:25:17.980]  They should be able to get it from any of them, but yeah, it'll be somewhere in that area.
[01:25:17.980 --> 01:25:21.980]  I don't know where the main DPS office is down there, but I'm pretty sure it's down there.
[01:25:21.980 --> 01:25:28.980]  Yeah, there's one, I know there's one like bigger one they used to do driver's license stuff like that that they don't do anymore.
[01:25:28.980 --> 01:25:30.980]  But it's just a little bit north of the Capitol.
[01:25:30.980 --> 01:25:34.980]  Yeah, they should be able to tell you where to go if it's not there.
[01:25:34.980 --> 01:25:36.980]  Yeah.
[01:25:36.980 --> 01:25:38.980]  Okay, well I'm going to get started on that.
[01:25:38.980 --> 01:25:39.980]  Okay.
[01:25:39.980 --> 01:25:41.980]  I appreciate your help.
[01:25:41.980 --> 01:25:42.980]  All right, sir.
[01:25:42.980 --> 01:25:45.980]  Now also be aware, DPS is not law enforcement.
[01:25:45.980 --> 01:25:48.980]  They are traffic cops.
[01:25:48.980 --> 01:25:49.980]  Okay.
[01:25:49.980 --> 01:25:53.980]  And what you guys are talking about had nothing to do with transportation.
[01:25:53.980 --> 01:25:55.980]  So what were they doing there to begin with?
[01:25:55.980 --> 01:25:58.980]  You were not on Capitol grounds.
[01:25:58.980 --> 01:26:01.980]  You were on the public sidewalk.
[01:26:01.980 --> 01:26:03.980]  So what were they doing there?
[01:26:03.980 --> 01:26:08.980]  Well, I think they have jurisdiction over the sidewalk, but they're going to claim that at least.
[01:26:08.980 --> 01:26:14.980]  Well, they can claim it all they want, but the rules say something a little bit different.
[01:26:14.980 --> 01:26:23.980]  Just like they can claim they can arrest you for failure to identify, that's not what the rules say.
[01:26:23.980 --> 01:26:26.980]  And what would be the charges I would make?
[01:26:26.980 --> 01:26:31.980]  Aggravated assault would be the first one.
[01:26:31.980 --> 01:26:34.980]  All of them were armed, right?
[01:26:34.980 --> 01:26:37.980]  I don't remember seeing any weapons.
[01:26:37.980 --> 01:26:39.980]  Nobody that came up there had a gun?
[01:26:39.980 --> 01:26:43.980]  The DPS officers downtown did this and none of them were wearing a gun?
[01:26:43.980 --> 01:26:48.980]  I imagine they probably were, but I just wasn't looking for that.
[01:26:48.980 --> 01:26:53.980]  If they were in uniform, I almost guarantee you they were carrying guns.
[01:26:53.980 --> 01:26:56.980]  No, some of them were the bicycle uniforms.
[01:26:56.980 --> 01:26:58.980]  Even those guys are carrying guns usually.
[01:26:58.980 --> 01:27:01.980]  Yeah, I think so, yeah.
[01:27:01.980 --> 01:27:02.980]  Okay.
[01:27:02.980 --> 01:27:07.980]  Either way, the DPS officer, the female that was on the grounds, was she in uniform?
[01:27:07.980 --> 01:27:10.980]  Yeah, she was in the regular uniform, not the bicycle uniform.
[01:27:10.980 --> 01:27:14.980]  Okay, then she definitely probably had a gun on.
[01:27:14.980 --> 01:27:22.980]  If she was as small as you're describing, I'm surprised it didn't have her tilting the one side.
[01:27:22.980 --> 01:27:25.980]  But the point here being, that's aggravated assault.
[01:27:25.980 --> 01:27:27.980]  They had no reason to accost you.
[01:27:27.980 --> 01:27:29.980]  They weren't investigating anything.
[01:27:29.980 --> 01:27:32.980]  They were simply harassing the public.
[01:27:32.980 --> 01:27:35.980]  That's a crime.
[01:27:35.980 --> 01:27:37.980]  Not like me, yeah.
[01:27:37.980 --> 01:27:44.980]  You had an officer threaten you with physical arrest and incarceration for something they can't do.
[01:27:44.980 --> 01:27:46.980]  That's terroristic threat.
[01:27:46.980 --> 01:27:49.980]  Yeah, I agree.
[01:27:49.980 --> 01:27:50.980]  Okay.
[01:27:50.980 --> 01:27:58.980]  And the fact that they held you against your will without any probable cause, that is unlawful restraint.
[01:27:58.980 --> 01:28:05.980]  Or in Texas, it's also false imprisonment.
[01:28:05.980 --> 01:28:08.980]  Okay, I've got some work to do then.
[01:28:08.980 --> 01:28:09.980]  Okay.
[01:28:09.980 --> 01:28:11.980]  Yeah, thank you very much.
[01:28:11.980 --> 01:28:12.980]  You're very welcome, Lynn.
[01:28:12.980 --> 01:28:13.980]  Good luck.
[01:28:13.980 --> 01:28:14.980]  Thanks.
[01:28:14.980 --> 01:28:18.980]  All right, now let's go to Vince in California.
[01:28:18.980 --> 01:28:19.980]  Good evening, Vince.
[01:28:19.980 --> 01:28:20.980]  What can we do for you?
[01:28:20.980 --> 01:28:21.980]  Hey, good evening, Eddie.
[01:28:21.980 --> 01:28:29.980]  I'm going to go a little bit off the beaten path of your traffic expertise, but I've got a pretty juicy story for you.
[01:28:29.980 --> 01:28:31.980]  My uncle was an attorney.
[01:28:31.980 --> 01:28:33.980]  He got his bar card in the early 90s.
[01:28:33.980 --> 01:28:37.980]  He was in medical malpractice, and he got kind of fed up with it.
[01:28:37.980 --> 01:28:44.980]  By the mid-90s, he had a head accident surfing in Mexico and quit practice and went on disability.
[01:28:44.980 --> 01:28:51.980]  And around 2001, my mom had a stroke, and she became disabled.
[01:28:51.980 --> 01:28:59.980]  And then fast forward to the late, well, about three or four years ago, my grandparents were getting pretty ill,
[01:28:59.980 --> 01:29:07.980]  and my grandfather had put his home into a trust where my mom had access to the house as long as she was alive,
[01:29:07.980 --> 01:29:13.980]  but she didn't have any ownership, and he made my uncle trustee, even with a head injury.
[01:29:13.980 --> 01:29:21.980]  So soon after that, well, not soon after that, but then a couple years ago,
[01:29:21.980 --> 01:29:28.980]  we got some information that kind of led us to believe that the head injury wasn't all it was cracked up to be
[01:29:28.980 --> 01:29:32.980]  and that perhaps he just wanted an early retirement.
[01:29:32.980 --> 01:29:34.980]  Oh, it sounds like I'm going to have to cut this short.
[01:29:34.980 --> 01:29:35.980]  Yes, sir.
[01:29:35.980 --> 01:29:37.980]  We're about to go to break, so please hang on there, Vince.
[01:29:37.980 --> 01:29:39.980]  We'll get back to you here in just a minute.
[01:29:39.980 --> 01:29:41.980]  All right, Tom.

[01:29:46.980 --> 01:29:50.980]  Vince is the last caller we got up on the board, so please give us a call.
[01:29:50.980 --> 01:29:52.980]  We'll talk to you on the other side of the break.
[01:29:52.980 --> 01:29:59.980]  We'll be right back.
[01:29:59.980 --> 01:30:02.980]  Are you tired of depending on the supermarket for your family's food?
[01:30:02.980 --> 01:30:05.980]  Would you like to grow fresh produce in the convenience of your own backyard?

[01:30:33.980 --> 01:30:37.980]  Now skeptics are turning into believers thanks to new brain research.
[01:30:37.980 --> 01:30:39.980]  I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht, and I'll be back in just a moment
[01:30:39.980 --> 01:30:43.980]  with scientific insights on the nature of the meditating mind.

[01:30:52.980 --> 01:30:54.980]  But it doesn't have to be that way.

[01:31:14.980 --> 01:31:18.980]  Could meditation change your brain and make you a better, smarter person?
[01:31:18.980 --> 01:31:20.980]  New research suggests it does.
[01:31:20.980 --> 01:31:24.980]  Scientists monitored brain changes in practitioners of mindfulness meditation,
[01:31:24.980 --> 01:31:26.980]  a technique with origins in Buddhism.
[01:31:26.980 --> 01:31:30.980]  MRI scans showed subjects who meditated 30 minutes a day for eight weeks
[01:31:30.980 --> 01:31:33.980]  increased the gray matter density in areas of their brains.
[01:31:33.980 --> 01:31:36.980]  This meant an increase in memory, learning, the sense of self,
[01:31:36.980 --> 01:31:38.980]  emotional control, and empathy.
[01:31:38.980 --> 01:31:41.980]  At the same time, the areas of their brains associated with stress
[01:31:41.980 --> 01:31:43.980]  and anxiety showed a reduction.
[01:31:43.980 --> 01:31:47.980]  This helps explain previous studies that found meditation can lower blood pressure,
[01:31:47.980 --> 01:31:50.980]  increase attention spans, and make meditators more likely
[01:31:50.980 --> 01:31:52.980]  to be compassionate towards others.
[01:31:52.980 --> 01:31:53.980]  I'm Dr. Katherine Albrecht.

[01:32:24.980 --> 01:32:52.980]  Thank you.
[01:32:52.980 --> 01:33:07.980]  All right, folks.
[01:33:07.980 --> 01:33:08.980]  We are back.
[01:33:08.980 --> 01:33:10.980]  This is Rule of Law Radio.
[01:33:10.980 --> 01:33:12.980]  Emma Stevens, Randy Kelton, Eddie Craig.
[01:33:12.980 --> 01:33:15.980]  Okay, 512-646-1984.
[01:33:15.980 --> 01:33:17.980]  That is our call-in number.
[01:33:17.980 --> 01:33:20.980]  We are currently talking to Vince, who is our last caller on the board.
[01:33:20.980 --> 01:33:23.980]  So, folks, we've got approximately half an hour left.
[01:33:23.980 --> 01:33:26.980]  So if you've got any issues, now is the time to get in line
[01:33:26.980 --> 01:33:29.980]  because we may not get to you if the board fills up like it usually does
[01:33:29.980 --> 01:33:31.980]  toward the end of the show.
[01:33:31.980 --> 01:33:34.980]  All right, Vince, please go ahead.
[01:33:34.980 --> 01:33:40.980]  Okay, so I think I left off with, let's see, my mom had the stroke.
[01:33:40.980 --> 01:33:43.980]  My grandparents had put the house in trust.
[01:33:43.980 --> 01:33:49.980]  She was going to have access to the house upon their death if she so chose.
[01:33:49.980 --> 01:33:51.980]  And she did that.
[01:33:51.980 --> 01:33:55.980]  My grandmother passed away in 2010.
[01:33:55.980 --> 01:34:01.980]  And my uncle, despite his brain injury, and one of my aunts,
[01:34:01.980 --> 01:34:04.980]  who has since passed away, were appointed trustees
[01:34:04.980 --> 01:34:08.980]  in the trust document that my grandfather drew up.
[01:34:08.980 --> 01:34:14.980]  So we have, like I said, we've since had reason to believe
[01:34:14.980 --> 01:34:18.980]  that the brain injury wasn't all it was supposed to be,
[01:34:18.980 --> 01:34:21.980]  and that hasn't made my mom feel very good,
[01:34:21.980 --> 01:34:24.980]  having suffered a real brain injury herself, as you can imagine.
[01:34:24.980 --> 01:34:29.980]  And so anyhow, there's been sort of a falling out between the two,
[01:34:29.980 --> 01:34:34.980]  and my uncle has, despite this brain injury,
[01:34:34.980 --> 01:34:38.980]  has kept his attorney-ness about him.
[01:34:38.980 --> 01:34:42.980]  And I'd like to read you one little thing he wrote in a letter,
[01:34:42.980 --> 01:34:47.980]  which is that, and before I read this,
[01:34:47.980 --> 01:34:49.980]  I want to tell you that when my grandmother passed away,
[01:34:49.980 --> 01:34:53.980]  there was some money disbursed in my mom's portion.
[01:34:53.980 --> 01:34:55.980]  This relates to my mom's portion.
[01:34:55.980 --> 01:34:57.980]  So he wrote, under Article 7 of the trust,
[01:34:57.980 --> 01:34:59.980]  and under statutory powers granted to me,
[01:34:59.980 --> 01:35:02.980]  the trust will require that $10,000 of Carol's cash distribution
[01:35:02.980 --> 01:35:08.980]  will be withheld as a security deposit.
[01:35:08.980 --> 01:35:13.980]  Now, you know, it's occurred to us that one of the angles we could go with
[01:35:13.980 --> 01:35:16.980]  is that, hey, you know, if you've got a brain injury,
[01:35:16.980 --> 01:35:20.980]  what are you doing in this position as trustee in the first place?
[01:35:20.980 --> 01:35:26.980]  I mean, if you can't practice law, how can you be a trustee?
[01:35:26.980 --> 01:35:29.980]  But the other thing that just occurred to me that made me want to call you
[01:35:29.980 --> 01:35:31.980]  was, you know, Randy's always talking about bar grievances.
[01:35:31.980 --> 01:35:33.980]  Well, he does still have a bar card.
[01:35:33.980 --> 01:35:35.980]  My mom's got a friend who's an attorney who looked it up,
[01:35:35.980 --> 01:35:38.980]  and he's got a bar card that is active,
[01:35:38.980 --> 01:35:43.980]  but apparently he's on disability leave or some sort of an active list,
[01:35:43.980 --> 01:35:48.980]  but he hasn't, you know, let his card lapse.
[01:35:48.980 --> 01:36:02.980]  So given what I've told you so far, do you have any input for me?
[01:36:02.980 --> 01:36:04.980]  Eddie?
[01:36:04.980 --> 01:36:05.980]  Hello?
[01:36:05.980 --> 01:36:06.980]  Yeah, I'm sitting here.
[01:36:06.980 --> 01:36:08.980]  I'm trying to think.
[01:36:08.980 --> 01:36:12.980]  I like the story, but the question is, what are you trying to get a resolution to?
[01:36:12.980 --> 01:36:16.980]  Well, she didn't think it was fair that he withheld $10,000,
[01:36:16.980 --> 01:36:22.980]  and, you know, he's further saying that, let's see,
[01:36:22.980 --> 01:36:26.980]  if I can read a little further here,
[01:36:26.980 --> 01:36:32.980]  trust will require that she show proof of payment of taxes and insurance,
[01:36:32.980 --> 01:36:40.980]  and somewhere in here he says that he will actually deduct, where is it?
[01:36:40.980 --> 01:36:45.980]  He mentions that since my aunt's passing, the other trustee's passing,
[01:36:45.980 --> 01:36:47.980]  that he might have to hire another trustee
[01:36:47.980 --> 01:36:57.980]  and take the money out of that $10,000 to pay for the trustee's services.
[01:36:57.980 --> 01:37:03.980]  I have a feeling the trustee is his girlfriend.
[01:37:03.980 --> 01:37:06.980]  Okay, well, here's the first thing.
[01:37:06.980 --> 01:37:11.980]  Is he the absolute administrator of the trust?
[01:37:11.980 --> 01:37:14.980]  As far as we know, yes.
[01:37:14.980 --> 01:37:17.980]  Okay, then in this particular instance,
[01:37:17.980 --> 01:37:20.980]  I would highly recommend that your better option would be to call in
[01:37:20.980 --> 01:37:23.980]  and talk to Don Terry on Agenda 21.
[01:37:23.980 --> 01:37:25.980]  Trusts are his specialty.
[01:37:25.980 --> 01:37:26.980]  Okay.
[01:37:26.980 --> 01:37:32.980]  He would be in a better position to answer that more specifically than I.
[01:37:32.980 --> 01:37:38.980]  However, if he is the sole administrator of the trust,
[01:37:38.980 --> 01:37:43.980]  then I'm pretty certain he's allowed to do anything he wants in relation to that trust.
[01:37:43.980 --> 01:37:45.980]  He is not a beneficiary,
[01:37:45.980 --> 01:37:50.980]  but he is allowed to determine how the trust is administered.
[01:37:50.980 --> 01:37:52.980]  Well, here's the interesting part.
[01:37:52.980 --> 01:37:59.980]  He will be a beneficiary upon my mom's passing, I believe.
[01:37:59.980 --> 01:38:03.980]  The argument could possibly be made that he's attempting to ensure a larger cut for himself
[01:38:03.980 --> 01:38:06.980]  by taking from hers.
[01:38:06.980 --> 01:38:11.980]  Yeah, but I wasn't really calling to get embroiled in the details of the trust itself,
[01:38:11.980 --> 01:38:15.980]  but more a tactic of how we could go after him.
[01:38:15.980 --> 01:38:18.980]  I mean, the evidence we have...
[01:38:18.980 --> 01:38:20.980]  Well, if he's not actively using his bar card,
[01:38:20.980 --> 01:38:24.980]  putting a complaint against it's really not going to do you any good.
[01:38:24.980 --> 01:38:29.980]  And if that's the only thing outside of this trust arrangement that you've got on him,
[01:38:29.980 --> 01:38:32.980]  I don't see it having any leverage for you whatsoever.
[01:38:32.980 --> 01:38:38.980]  What I do see it doing is causing him some trepidation and anger at you or your mother
[01:38:38.980 --> 01:38:44.980]  for the purpose of taking it out on you.
[01:38:44.980 --> 01:38:45.980]  Right.
[01:38:45.980 --> 01:38:49.980]  Okay, well, that gives me some input on the bar card issue.
[01:38:49.980 --> 01:38:57.980]  Now, the other issue is that we could just turn him into the insurance company that's paying his disability.
[01:38:57.980 --> 01:39:00.980]  Okay, turn him in how?
[01:39:00.980 --> 01:39:06.980]  Well, like I said, we have some pretty sound evidence that he never had a brain injury,
[01:39:06.980 --> 01:39:10.980]  that he's been getting disability payments for something that never occurred.
[01:39:10.980 --> 01:39:21.980]  Okay, well, then make sure your evidence is sound and solid, but the question is how much of it's medical?
[01:39:21.980 --> 01:39:26.980]  Well, yeah, obviously that's a good question,
[01:39:26.980 --> 01:39:31.980]  but it's pretty apparent that his girlfriend, who's a nurse,
[01:39:31.980 --> 01:39:36.980]  is the one who initiated the whole medical report in the first place.
[01:39:36.980 --> 01:39:40.980]  Well, that may be true, but you're still going to have to have medical facts.
[01:39:40.980 --> 01:39:42.980]  See, here's the problem.
[01:39:42.980 --> 01:39:49.980]  The medical facts can always be used to muddy the waters to the degree that no one will take responsibility
[01:39:49.980 --> 01:39:53.980]  for saying yes he does or no he doesn't if it's at all possible.
[01:39:53.980 --> 01:40:01.980]  And he has to be willing to submit to other tests to prove or disprove whether or not that injury has occurred.
[01:40:01.980 --> 01:40:10.980]  Now, the only thing that could happen in respect to that is that if he never suffered one and doesn't actually have one,
[01:40:10.980 --> 01:40:18.980]  then at most the insurance company will simply stop paying the insurance under the presumption that,
[01:40:18.980 --> 01:40:25.980]  well, if we're being defrauded, we have the grounds to say you have to go in and get medical proof to us.
[01:40:25.980 --> 01:40:30.980]  But how would they have started paying the claim if they hadn't received that already?
[01:40:30.980 --> 01:40:35.980]  Right, but if they've been defrauded, there's no statute of limitations for fraud.
[01:40:35.980 --> 01:40:40.980]  They've got evidence already that made them want to pay the claim.
[01:40:40.980 --> 01:40:48.980]  So what do you have that's going to refute that?
[01:40:48.980 --> 01:40:49.980]  That's the problem.
[01:40:49.980 --> 01:40:52.980]  Not what you think or what you think you know.
[01:40:52.980 --> 01:41:03.980]  What evidence do you have that will countermand the evidence they use to grant him what he's got in the first place?
[01:41:03.980 --> 01:41:14.980]  Other than, you mean other than an actual filing a suit and having a trial and getting testimony from people who have knowledge that he faked it, et cetera?
[01:41:14.980 --> 01:41:22.980]  Again, define knowledge that he faked it. What is their medical evidence that it was faked?
[01:41:22.980 --> 01:41:30.980]  Because the insurance company is going to be going by the medical evidence as to why they paid it.
[01:41:30.980 --> 01:41:32.980]  Right.
[01:41:32.980 --> 01:41:40.980]  Well, we've got witnesses who, I mean, his girlfriend basically said he faked it,
[01:41:40.980 --> 01:41:47.980]  and she's the one who wrote the report initially or who initiated the whole medical issue in the first place.
[01:41:47.980 --> 01:41:54.980]  Okay. Well, again, how do you prove she said he faked it?
[01:41:54.980 --> 01:41:58.980]  How do you make her testify to that? Why would she testify to that?
[01:41:58.980 --> 01:42:01.980]  Right.
[01:42:01.980 --> 01:42:07.980]  Your only hope in that regard is if there's a rift between the two that becomes available to be used for that purpose.
[01:42:07.980 --> 01:42:11.980]  Right. Which is possible?
[01:42:11.980 --> 01:42:13.980]  It is possible.
[01:42:13.980 --> 01:42:14.980]  Okay.
[01:42:14.980 --> 01:42:21.980]  Lawyers don't just screw their girlfriends, so, you know, they could wind up getting in trouble with everybody before it's all said and done.
[01:42:21.980 --> 01:42:25.980]  Right. Right.
[01:42:25.980 --> 01:42:31.980]  Okay.
[01:42:31.980 --> 01:42:33.980]  All right.
[01:42:33.980 --> 01:42:43.980]  Okay. We'll call back in to Don. You don't have any other knowledge about the, you know,
[01:42:43.980 --> 01:42:51.980]  I guess there probably aren't any stipulations on how mentally capable someone has to be to be a trustee, right?
[01:42:51.980 --> 01:42:53.980]  It's just whoever appoints them in that.
[01:42:53.980 --> 01:42:56.980]  That all depends upon the rules of your state.
[01:42:56.980 --> 01:42:57.980]  Yeah.
[01:42:57.980 --> 01:43:04.980]  But a trust, if it's a private trust set up under private contract or agreement or whatever,
[01:43:04.980 --> 01:43:12.980]  then they can do it in most states pretty much any way they want as long as it's not something that's illegal.
[01:43:12.980 --> 01:43:21.980]  I would think that somebody would have to be declared mentally incompetent by a court before they could be prohibited from being a trustee.
[01:43:21.980 --> 01:43:22.980]  Yeah.
[01:43:22.980 --> 01:43:25.980]  I mean, it's not like something that you have to qualify for.
[01:43:25.980 --> 01:43:27.980]  I mean.
[01:43:27.980 --> 01:43:32.980]  Yeah, but even then that prohibition would still have to be based upon medical evidence.
[01:43:32.980 --> 01:43:33.980]  Right.
[01:43:33.980 --> 01:43:40.980]  So either way, there's going to have to be a medical review of what's going on before it's going to do you any good to make that argument.
[01:43:40.980 --> 01:43:42.980]  Right.
[01:43:42.980 --> 01:43:49.980]  And can you think of a way to coerce them into a medical review?
[01:43:49.980 --> 01:43:55.980]  Not right off the top of my head, Vince, but hang on, we're going to break and we'll try to get you finished up real quick on the other side.

[01:46:21.980 --> 01:46:25.980]  Some things in this world I will never understand.
[01:46:25.980 --> 01:46:29.980]  Some things I realize fully.
[01:46:29.980 --> 01:46:34.980]  Somebody's gonna police that policeman.
[01:46:34.980 --> 01:46:38.980]  Somebody's gonna police the police.
[01:46:38.980 --> 01:46:43.980]  There's always a room at the top of the hill.
[01:46:43.980 --> 01:46:47.980]  I hear through the grapevine and it's lonely there too.
[01:46:47.980 --> 01:46:51.980]  They're wishing it was more than I position the bill.
[01:46:51.980 --> 01:46:55.980]  They know that if they don't do it, somebody will.
[01:46:55.980 --> 01:46:59.980]  Some things in this world I will never understand.
[01:46:59.980 --> 01:47:03.980]  Some things I realize fully.
[01:47:03.980 --> 01:47:07.980]  Somebody's gonna police that policeman.
[01:47:07.980 --> 01:47:10.980]  All right, folks, we are back. This is Rule of Law Radio.
[01:47:10.980 --> 01:47:14.980]  We're gonna finish up with Vince real quick, and then we'll go to Tony and Roger.
[01:47:14.980 --> 01:47:17.980]  We are in our last segment, so folks, now's the time.
[01:47:17.980 --> 01:47:22.980]  We've got 15 minutes and three calls to finish, so get in if you got something.
[01:47:22.980 --> 01:47:27.980]  Okay, Vince, I believe you were asking about any way to coerce him into wanting to have a mental evaluation.
[01:47:27.980 --> 01:47:30.980]  Are you familiar with the movie Gaslight?
[01:47:30.980 --> 01:47:32.980]  No, tell me about it.
[01:47:32.980 --> 01:47:37.980]  Gaslight is about a husband who tries to convince his wife that she's insane.
[01:47:37.980 --> 01:47:45.980]  Okay, so the only way I can see you're gonna coerce him into wanting to get his head examined, literally speaking,
[01:47:45.980 --> 01:47:52.980]  is to convince him he has an actual problem that needs to be examined or it could hurt him.
[01:47:52.980 --> 01:47:59.980]  If you can find some way of doing that, which with a nurse as a girlfriend, that's gonna be a tough one,
[01:47:59.980 --> 01:48:03.980]  but that's the only way I can see to get the answer you want out of that.
[01:48:03.980 --> 01:48:07.980]  Right, and just real quick on the supposed injury.
[01:48:07.980 --> 01:48:12.980]  He was supposedly surfing in Mexico and fell off his board and hit his head or whatever.
[01:48:12.980 --> 01:48:16.980]  He bashed his own head in with a rock.
[01:48:16.980 --> 01:48:20.980]  That right there is ground for a competency hearing in my book anyway.
[01:48:20.980 --> 01:48:25.980]  Exactly. My grandpa died in 2007. My grandma died in 2010.
[01:48:25.980 --> 01:48:34.980]  In between that time, my uncle was living at the house, I believe, against the trust.
[01:48:34.980 --> 01:48:37.980]  So we might have an angle there. Do you have any ideas on that?
[01:48:37.980 --> 01:48:39.980]  Not without knowing the details of the trust.
[01:48:39.980 --> 01:48:40.980]  Right.
[01:48:40.980 --> 01:48:45.980]  You'd have to know what the intimate details of the trust are and what he was and was not allowed to do in that regard.
[01:48:45.980 --> 01:48:51.980]  Right. And regarding the bar grievance, are you pretty certain, I think you said, that if he's not active,
[01:48:51.980 --> 01:48:54.980]  that there's no way to file a bar grievance? Is that what you said?
[01:48:54.980 --> 01:49:01.980]  No, I didn't say that. I said that if he's not actively using it, then you're not really hurting him.
[01:49:01.980 --> 01:49:07.980]  And instead, what you're going to do is make him want to retaliate for filing up the bar grievance.
[01:49:07.980 --> 01:49:11.980]  Got you. Got you. Okay. All right. Well, I'll let it go for now then.
[01:49:11.980 --> 01:49:14.980]  Thanks for your time. I'll let these other guys get on.
[01:49:14.980 --> 01:49:16.980]  All right, sir. You have a good one. Thanks for calling in.
[01:49:16.980 --> 01:49:17.980]  Great. Thank you.
[01:49:17.980 --> 01:49:19.980]  All right. Bye-bye.
[01:49:19.980 --> 01:49:24.980]  Okay. Here we got Tony in Illinois. Tony, what can we do for you?
[01:49:24.980 --> 01:49:29.980]  Well, I've got a few things stacking up. I'm just trying to do some quick ones here.
[01:49:29.980 --> 01:49:37.980]  Can you tell me what is the legal definition of the phrase, subject to the police power?
[01:49:37.980 --> 01:49:42.980]  What's the legal definition of the phrase, subject to the police power?
[01:49:42.980 --> 01:49:43.980]  Yeah.
[01:49:43.980 --> 01:49:51.980]  Whether or not you're involved in any type of activity that falls under the regulatory power of the state,
[01:49:51.980 --> 01:49:57.980]  such as the medical profession, the legal profession, real estate brokerage.
[01:49:57.980 --> 01:50:06.980]  Okay. Well, that's interesting because our Illinois state constitution says subject to the police power,
[01:50:06.980 --> 01:50:12.980]  the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed or something to that.
[01:50:12.980 --> 01:50:18.980]  And here in Texas, they snuck that into the 1876 constitution in a similar fashion,
[01:50:18.980 --> 01:50:26.980]  which is that the state has the right to regulate the wearing of arms with an eye towards the prevention of crime.
[01:50:26.980 --> 01:50:36.980]  Okay. And open carry, I know, is a legal layer. But what is the exact effect of that phrase?
[01:50:36.980 --> 01:50:48.980]  Well, that phrase is to place that particular right or rights under the regulatory auspices of statutory law that the legislature creates.
[01:50:48.980 --> 01:50:51.980]  But does it essentially nullify it?
[01:50:51.980 --> 01:50:55.980]  That all depends on what the law is the legislature passes.
[01:50:55.980 --> 01:51:02.980]  If it's subject to the police power, then most certainly they can pass a law that makes it illegal.
[01:51:02.980 --> 01:51:09.980]  Well, you know, we're the only state that requires a license to actually own a firearm.
[01:51:09.980 --> 01:51:22.980]  And our attorney general was close to making all the names public before there was a bit of an outcry over that.
[01:51:22.980 --> 01:51:31.980]  What is the statutory punishment for carrying a concealed firearm without a license?
[01:51:31.980 --> 01:51:36.980]  That all depends on, in Texas, it all depends on where you're carrying it.
[01:51:36.980 --> 01:51:42.980]  Certain locations will carry different penalties.
[01:51:42.980 --> 01:51:45.980]  So can it range from misdemeanor up to felony?
[01:51:45.980 --> 01:51:46.980]  Yes.
[01:51:46.980 --> 01:51:49.980]  And where it is? Okay.
[01:51:49.980 --> 01:51:59.980]  You had a young man call in with a problem along those lines for having a firearm in a motor vehicle.
[01:51:59.980 --> 01:52:08.980]  Now, when he read the statute, he said, you know, the motor vehicle was in the statute.
[01:52:08.980 --> 01:52:21.980]  But you didn't really pick up on that at the time, whether or not it only applies to those operating in commerce and not to travel.
[01:52:21.980 --> 01:52:26.980]  It all depends upon how that term motor vehicle is defined under that particular statute.
[01:52:26.980 --> 01:52:35.980]  If it says that the term motor vehicle is the same as the defined in transportation code chapter blah, blah, blah, then it would apply in that manner.
[01:52:35.980 --> 01:52:44.980]  If it creates its own separate definition for that term, then it would be under the auspices of that definition as to how it would be utilized.
[01:52:44.980 --> 01:52:45.980]  Okay.
[01:52:45.980 --> 01:52:53.980]  Has there been any progress with the lawsuit relating to fluorides there in Austin?
[01:52:53.980 --> 01:52:56.980]  Has that moved along at all?
[01:52:56.980 --> 01:52:59.980]  That would be something better to ask Deborah than I.
[01:52:59.980 --> 01:53:05.980]  Deborah, do you have any information on whether or not there's actually been a lawsuit filed over the fluoride issue?
[01:53:05.980 --> 01:53:08.980]  Not yet. Not yet.
[01:53:08.980 --> 01:53:14.980]  Deborah, while you're still on the line, is there any part of the Web site that has a list of your affiliates?
[01:53:14.980 --> 01:53:17.980]  Not at this time, no.
[01:53:17.980 --> 01:53:18.980]  Okay.
[01:53:18.980 --> 01:53:20.980]  I don't think there's one in Illinois, though.
[01:53:20.980 --> 01:53:23.980]  I know we have one in St. Louis.
[01:53:23.980 --> 01:53:25.980]  We've got one in Madison, Wisconsin.
[01:53:25.980 --> 01:53:27.980]  We've got one in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
[01:53:27.980 --> 01:53:33.980]  There's a couple more on the West Coast and I think one in Florida, but I don't think we have one in Illinois.
[01:53:33.980 --> 01:53:34.980]  Okay.
[01:53:34.980 --> 01:53:36.980]  And there's one in Virginia, too.
[01:53:36.980 --> 01:53:38.980]  Okay.
[01:53:38.980 --> 01:53:41.980]  One more thing.
[01:53:41.980 --> 01:53:50.980]  I came across a site called HelpIGottaticket.com. It relates to California traffic tickets.
[01:53:50.980 --> 01:53:58.980]  And if anybody wants to check that out, whether they get a ticket in California, a few things I picked up from there.
[01:53:58.980 --> 01:54:05.980]  When you get the ticket, you can request that you have a trial at the county seat,
[01:54:05.980 --> 01:54:14.980]  which may or may not make it more difficult for the police officer to actually make it to court, if you go to court,
[01:54:14.980 --> 01:54:27.980]  because you can actually also go to the county courthouse and get a form to do a trial by declaration,
[01:54:27.980 --> 01:54:39.980]  which basically you just get this form, write no guilty on it, send it in, and if the officer doesn't respond, then it's dismissed.
[01:54:39.980 --> 01:54:48.980]  If he does respond, you automatically get, well, not automatically, you're entitled to a trial de novo if you request it.
[01:54:48.980 --> 01:54:50.980]  So there's no loss in that.
[01:54:50.980 --> 01:55:05.980]  Also, if you do go to trial, if the engineering survey brings back a safe speed higher than the speed limit,
[01:55:05.980 --> 01:55:10.980]  then the ticket can be thrown, if not at the trial level, then at the bail level.
[01:55:10.980 --> 01:55:12.980]  And I'll leave it at that.
[01:55:12.980 --> 01:55:15.980]  And thanks for all you guys do.
[01:55:15.980 --> 01:55:17.980]  Good night.
[01:55:17.980 --> 01:55:18.980]  Thanks, Tony.
[01:55:18.980 --> 01:55:20.980]  Appreciate you calling in.
[01:55:20.980 --> 01:55:21.980]  Thanks.
[01:55:21.980 --> 01:55:22.980]  All right.
[01:55:22.980 --> 01:55:24.980]  Let's go to Roger in Washington.
[01:55:24.980 --> 01:55:26.980]  Roger, what can we do for you?
[01:55:26.980 --> 01:55:28.980]  Hello, Eddie and Deborah.
[01:55:28.980 --> 01:55:30.980]  Deborah, let me ask you a quick question.
[01:55:30.980 --> 01:55:33.980]  What is your Coeur d'Alene affiliate call letters?
[01:55:33.980 --> 01:55:34.980]  I don't know.
[01:55:34.980 --> 01:55:35.980]  Okay.
[01:55:35.980 --> 01:55:41.980]  Okay, Eddie, I have a question on car titles, automobile titles.
[01:55:41.980 --> 01:55:48.980]  You had mentioned you don't have plates on your car or driver's license, et cetera.
[01:55:48.980 --> 01:55:49.980]  What did you do?
[01:55:49.980 --> 01:55:53.980]  Did you make any changes with your car title?
[01:55:53.980 --> 01:56:05.980]  When I bought the car from the individual, I went to a notary and we both met up there and we transferred.
[01:56:05.980 --> 01:56:11.980]  They signed over the title as they would normally do if you're going to send it into the state to get a new one issued.
[01:56:11.980 --> 01:56:17.980]  We also did a bill of sale receipt in front of the notary.
[01:56:17.980 --> 01:56:26.980]  And what the bill of sale specifically stated is that this automobile vehicle identification number, blah, blah, blah,
[01:56:26.980 --> 01:56:37.980]  this make, this model is hereby transferred to my name for complete true ownership lacking any liens
[01:56:37.980 --> 01:56:46.980]  or other encumbrances of the aforementioned property and all said rights to this automobile are hereby transferred.
[01:56:46.980 --> 01:56:49.980]  And that's how I left it.
[01:56:49.980 --> 01:56:58.980]  And every time they demanded that I show them proof of ownership, I produced a certified copy of the certificate of title.
[01:56:58.980 --> 01:57:07.980]  I never, ever let them get their hands on the certificate of title and a certified copy of that notarized bill of sale.
[01:57:07.980 --> 01:57:08.980]  Okay.
[01:57:08.980 --> 01:57:09.980]  And that's what I used.
[01:57:09.980 --> 01:57:14.980]  So you never got a title from the state then?
[01:57:14.980 --> 01:57:16.980]  No.
[01:57:16.980 --> 01:57:23.980]  I used the title that was originally issued to the person whom I bought the automobile from.
[01:57:23.980 --> 01:57:24.980]  Okay.
[01:57:24.980 --> 01:57:28.980]  Because as I was sitting here looking at my title and thinking about what you said in the past,
[01:57:28.980 --> 01:57:34.980]  I was wondering why couldn't I use the bill of sale as a proof of ownership?
[01:57:34.980 --> 01:57:35.980]  Yeah.
[01:57:35.980 --> 01:57:36.980]  And that's what I did.
[01:57:36.980 --> 01:57:44.980]  But I noticed another thing on the title where there's a box where it says use class
[01:57:44.980 --> 01:57:48.980]  and it's got the abbreviation for passenger and there we go back.
[01:57:48.980 --> 01:57:49.980]  Right.
[01:57:49.980 --> 01:57:51.980]  And you need to know what the legal definition of that is.
[01:57:51.980 --> 01:57:54.980]  It is not a passenger motor vehicle.
[01:57:54.980 --> 01:57:55.980]  Exactly.
[01:57:55.980 --> 01:58:00.980]  A passenger is someone that pays to be transported from point A to point B.
[01:58:00.980 --> 01:58:02.980]  All right.
[01:58:02.980 --> 01:58:08.980]  I was wondering have you ever seen where they change that to like use of class private?
[01:58:08.980 --> 01:58:09.980]  No.
[01:58:09.980 --> 01:58:14.980]  That's exactly why I say if you do the registration thing then you're granting them an authority over your property
[01:58:14.980 --> 01:58:17.980]  and converting it to a state owned vehicle.
[01:58:17.980 --> 01:58:18.980]  Okay.
[01:58:18.980 --> 01:58:23.980]  Because the use class specifically relates to commerce not to private use.
[01:58:23.980 --> 01:58:29.980]  And if I was you I'd start corresponding with my state DMV on exactly those issues.
[01:58:29.980 --> 01:58:30.980]  Okay.
[01:58:30.980 --> 01:58:31.980]  Good point.
[01:58:31.980 --> 01:58:32.980]  All right.
[01:58:32.980 --> 01:58:33.980]  Thanks a lot.
[01:58:33.980 --> 01:58:34.980]  You're welcome.
[01:58:34.980 --> 01:58:35.980]  Okay.
[01:58:35.980 --> 01:58:36.980]  Thanks for calling in.
[01:58:36.980 --> 01:58:37.980]  Roger.
[01:58:37.980 --> 01:58:38.980]  Appreciate it.
[01:58:38.980 --> 01:58:39.980]  We're at the end of the show.
[01:58:39.980 --> 01:58:41.980]  Got everybody off the call board.
[01:58:41.980 --> 01:58:42.980]  We had a good night tonight.
[01:58:42.980 --> 01:58:44.980]  Thank you all for listening in.
[01:58:44.980 --> 01:58:45.980]  Thank you all for calling in.
[01:58:45.980 --> 01:58:50.980]  This has been Rule of Law Radio with Eddie Craig, Deborah Stevens, Randy Kelton.
[01:58:50.980 --> 01:58:55.980]  Please give us a listen tomorrow night at 8 o'clock and we hope to see you then.
[01:58:55.980 --> 01:58:56.980]  Y'all have a good night.
[01:58:56.980 --> 01:58:57.980]  God bless.
[01:58:57.980 --> 01:59:13.980]  I'm like a stepping craze don't you watch my size I'm dangerous dangerous I'm like a stepping craze don't you watch my size I'm dangerous dangerous
[01:59:13.980 --> 01:59:41.980]  I'm like a stepping craze don't you watch my size I'm dangerous dangerous I'm like a stepping craze don't you watch my size I'm dangerous dangerous
[01:59:41.980 --> 01:59:59.980]  I'm like a stepping craze don't you watch my size I'm dangerous dangerous
