[00:00.000 --> 00:05.840] The following newsflash is brought to you by the Lone Star Lowdown, providing the daily [00:05.840 --> 00:08.360] bulletins for the commodities market. [00:08.360 --> 00:21.280] Today in history, news updates and the inside scoop into the tides of the alternative. [00:21.280 --> 00:26.620] Markets for Wednesday, March 30th, 2016, are currently treading with gold at $1,227.66 [00:26.620 --> 00:34.040] an ounce, silver $15.20 an ounce, Texas crude $38.28 a barrel, and Bitcoin is currently [00:34.040 --> 00:43.000] sitting at about $412 U.S. currency. [00:43.000 --> 00:48.880] Today in history, the year 1870, Texas becomes the last Confederate state remitted to the [00:48.880 --> 00:49.880] Union. [00:49.880 --> 00:55.400] Though the new state constitution wasn't approved until 1876, Texas formerly part of the Confederacy [00:55.400 --> 01:02.080] was admitted into the Union, today in history. [01:02.080 --> 01:05.320] In recent news, the Federal Trade Commission announced today its efforts to crack down [01:05.320 --> 01:06.840] on fake cancer charities. [01:06.840 --> 01:11.240] The Cancer Fund of America, Cancer Support Services, and their leader, James Reynolds, [01:11.240 --> 01:15.800] including Reynolds Sr., will have to surrender an undisclosed amount of their personal assets [01:15.800 --> 01:18.560] as part of a settlement with the FTC in states. [01:18.560 --> 01:22.960] These purported nonprofits agree to be permanently dissolved and their assets liquidated. [01:22.960 --> 01:27.680] This is also prohibited for life from managing charitable assets or being part of a charity's [01:27.680 --> 01:29.800] board or a trustee. [01:29.800 --> 01:35.320] Apparently according to the FTC, of more than the $75 million the charities raised, a vast [01:35.320 --> 01:39.280] majority of these funds were going to the charity's organizers and their friends with [01:39.280 --> 01:44.040] a measly percentage, less than 5, going to actual patients and research. [01:44.040 --> 01:49.000] To make matters worse, an estimated 85% of the millions were spent on fundraising for [01:49.000 --> 01:50.320] the scheme itself. [01:50.320 --> 01:54.640] The charity's remaining assets will first go to pay the state's litigation fees afterward [01:54.640 --> 01:59.240] to actual legitimate charities the states elect, though an FTC spokesman did state in [01:59.240 --> 02:08.480] an email that if there's any money left, it would probably be a very small amount. [02:08.480 --> 02:12.620] After more than six years in development, IBM's TrueNorth brain-inspired processor [02:12.620 --> 02:16.440] will be put to the test at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab. [02:16.440 --> 02:21.400] They purchased IBM's Neuromorphic System, a brain-inspired program based on the TrueNorth [02:21.400 --> 02:22.400] chip. [02:22.400 --> 02:26.720] The California Research Lab is set to use it to help the National Nuclear Security Administration [02:26.720 --> 02:28.840] battle cybersecurity issues. [02:28.840 --> 02:34.320] Consuming just 2.5 watts of power, the same as a tablet computer, the Neuromorphic System [02:34.320 --> 02:40.280] can process the equivalent of 16 million neurons and 4 billion synapses, containing only 16 [02:40.280 --> 02:41.920] of these TrueNorth chips. [02:41.920 --> 02:47.160] IBM Chief Scientist Dharmendra Modha stated that the delivery of this advanced computing [02:47.160 --> 02:52.840] platform represents a major milestone as we enter the next era of cognitive computing. [02:52.840 --> 02:59.840] This is Rick Rode with your Lowdown for March 30, 2016. [02:59.840 --> 03:15.040] Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do? [03:15.040 --> 03:29.480] Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do? [03:29.480 --> 03:48.480] Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for you? [03:48.480 --> 03:49.480] When you work and you're head back free, you go to school and learn the golden rule. [03:49.480 --> 03:50.480] So why are you acting like a bloody fool? [03:50.480 --> 03:51.480] Okay, howdy, howdy. [03:51.480 --> 03:58.480] This is Randy Kelkin on the Rue de la Radio on this Friday, the first day of April 2016. [03:58.480 --> 04:03.800] We're already a quarter of the way through another year. [04:03.800 --> 04:05.600] My mother warned me about this. [04:05.600 --> 04:11.640] I'm always kind of dismayed when a new month comes around, and it seems like it should [04:11.640 --> 04:18.320] only be a couple weeks, but my mother warned me that this was going to get worse. [04:18.320 --> 04:22.240] Okay, tonight we intended to have a guest on. [04:22.240 --> 04:32.240] We have a lawyer in Wisconsin who is being attacked by the Office of Lawyer Regulation [04:32.240 --> 04:39.840] because she's been taking on these foreclosure issues with some really sophisticated arguments. [04:39.840 --> 04:46.720] But because the Office of Lawyer Regulation is jerking her around, she wasn't able to, [04:46.720 --> 04:49.960] so I hope to have her on soon. [04:49.960 --> 04:55.280] We don't have a guest on today, so I'm opening the phone lines. [04:55.280 --> 04:58.840] We'll keep them on all night. [04:58.840 --> 05:06.040] And since I have some time, there's one thing that I don't go through often, and I should, [05:06.040 --> 05:11.560] because this show is about how to take on public officials. [05:11.560 --> 05:21.960] And over several years of doing this show, we've worked out a set of methods that have [05:21.960 --> 05:24.800] turned out to be relatively effective. [05:24.800 --> 05:29.200] I was just in Weatherford, Texas, giving them a hard time the other day. [05:29.200 --> 05:34.600] The last time I was in Weatherford, Texas, they had someone in jail there for driving [05:34.600 --> 05:39.040] without a valid driver's license, third offense, they put him in jail for 90 days. [05:39.040 --> 05:46.760] Now I have a woman in jail there driving without a license in jail for 90 days. [05:46.760 --> 05:52.960] And I looked in the record and found a motion in Lemony. [05:52.960 --> 06:01.680] And the prosecuting attorney in a motion in Lemony is a motion listing all of the things [06:01.680 --> 06:04.440] you can't say in court. [06:04.440 --> 06:10.680] They listed in the motion in Lemony and asked the judge to approve it. [06:10.680 --> 06:15.080] I have somewhere in my files, I have a wonderful motion in Lemony. [06:15.080 --> 06:16.920] It has everything in it. [06:16.920 --> 06:20.880] I found it in a criminal file. [06:20.880 --> 06:27.080] And I was in court when they were coming after me in Wise County, said, well, a long time [06:27.080 --> 06:28.080] ago. [06:28.080 --> 06:32.320] And the judge is, he's annoyed having to go through this, and he come to this section, [06:32.320 --> 06:40.400] he said, and it asked the court to not allow the prosecutor to bring up anything about [06:40.400 --> 06:42.800] any hypnotic interviews. [06:42.800 --> 06:44.920] And the judge said, Mr. Kelton, were you hypnotized? [06:44.920 --> 06:47.560] Well, I don't know, Judge. [06:47.560 --> 06:50.520] You know how they make you forget that kind of stuff? [06:50.520 --> 06:51.520] Ask him. [06:51.520 --> 06:55.480] And the judge denied, denied. [06:55.480 --> 06:56.480] He was a bit furious. [06:56.480 --> 07:00.080] But anyway, I found this motion in Lemony. [07:00.080 --> 07:09.640] And in there, they asked the judge to order the defendant not to raise any issue concerning [07:09.640 --> 07:16.960] the right to travel, not to bring up any statute or case law concerning the right to travel, [07:16.960 --> 07:21.920] and it was irrelevant to the case at bar. [07:21.920 --> 07:30.080] The judge approved it and gave a, and then approved the motion in Lemony, so that acted [07:30.080 --> 07:35.200] to deny the person in procedural due process. [07:35.200 --> 07:46.560] In the charge to the jury, the judge defined some terms, I'll have to pull it out and read [07:46.560 --> 07:47.560] it. [07:47.560 --> 07:53.720] He made up his own definition to travel, to motor vehicle. [07:53.720 --> 08:00.880] Motor vehicle is anything that moves on the highway, anything that moves on the highway [08:00.880 --> 08:02.680] powered by a motor. [08:02.680 --> 08:06.360] Well, that's not the definition in the transportation code. [08:06.360 --> 08:12.280] So he made up a new definition that suited his purpose and gave that as an instruction [08:12.280 --> 08:13.280] to the jury. [08:13.280 --> 08:15.520] We're going to work this judge over. [08:15.520 --> 08:23.120] Anyway, we have a caller already and it's Gary from Oklahoma. [08:23.120 --> 08:32.280] And I did not get to Eddie Craig on Oklahoma property taxes. [08:32.280 --> 08:37.120] My apologies, Gary, I wish you'd have sent me an email. [08:37.120 --> 08:38.720] You're on the air, Gary. [08:38.720 --> 08:46.920] I'm going to open a browser and see if I can find something on the subject of property [08:46.920 --> 08:48.920] taxes in Oklahoma. [08:48.920 --> 08:51.920] Are you there, Gary? [08:51.920 --> 08:52.920] Yes. [08:52.920 --> 08:54.920] Hi, Randy. [08:54.920 --> 08:55.920] Oklahoma. [08:55.920 --> 09:02.920] O-A-O-K-A-L-O-H-O-M-A. Is that right? [09:02.920 --> 09:06.960] Yeah, Oklahoma. [09:06.960 --> 09:12.520] Did you look up the property tax code for Oklahoma? [09:12.520 --> 09:15.160] Yes, I have. [09:15.160 --> 09:18.560] And the more I read through it, the more I confuse I get. [09:18.560 --> 09:23.560] Wait a minute, move your mic down by your chin a little bit. [09:23.560 --> 09:24.560] It's distorting. [09:24.560 --> 09:25.560] Okay. [09:25.560 --> 09:26.560] All right. [09:26.560 --> 09:31.560] Yes, I have read some of it. [09:31.560 --> 09:34.360] I really don't understand it. [09:34.360 --> 09:42.480] Is there a section, okay, here I'm looking at property taxes, page 15. [09:42.480 --> 09:49.160] Is there a section in the property tax code for a payment options? [09:49.160 --> 09:55.120] Because generally, you know, you said the other day that it had to all be paid in full [09:55.120 --> 09:57.120] by a certain date. [09:57.120 --> 10:05.720] The taxes code says that, but there's also options where someone is having trouble paying [10:05.720 --> 10:06.720] it. [10:06.720 --> 10:13.200] It's not the intent of the tax assessor collector to take your property. [10:13.200 --> 10:17.520] So there's a lot in there to give you opportunity. [10:17.520 --> 10:21.400] See, I'm looking here. [10:21.400 --> 10:23.800] This is not exactly the code. [10:23.800 --> 10:29.680] This is by the taxpayer education series. [10:29.680 --> 10:31.800] What if you do not pay your taxes? [10:31.800 --> 10:37.400] As long as you allow your property taxes to go unpaid, the more expensive and risky it [10:37.400 --> 10:38.400] becomes for you. [10:38.400 --> 10:41.400] How far delinquent are you? [10:41.400 --> 10:45.400] This will be the fourth year. [10:45.400 --> 10:46.400] Okay. [10:46.400 --> 10:49.800] Delinquent taxes are issued, your property can be sold. [10:49.800 --> 10:54.640] Say you need to pay your property taxes as a result of the loss of the property. [10:54.640 --> 11:02.400] This is not the code, so it doesn't tell me what the code actually says. [11:02.400 --> 11:05.760] Okay, what does it say? [11:05.760 --> 11:15.320] How far delinquent do you have to be before the tax assessor can foreclose on the property? [11:15.320 --> 11:21.920] I believe it's 36 months before notice. [11:21.920 --> 11:35.680] Is there anything in the code concerning delinquency or payment options? [11:35.680 --> 11:38.640] I haven't come across one yet. [11:38.640 --> 11:50.000] I haven't finished reading all of the tax codes, so I haven't seen one as of yet. [11:50.000 --> 11:57.280] And when is the tax sale supposed to come out? [11:57.280 --> 11:58.280] June 14th. [11:58.280 --> 12:01.120] Okay, you've got a little time. [12:01.120 --> 12:07.560] You've actually got enough time to file a civil action. [12:07.560 --> 12:18.240] And just for the record, okay, what is the procedure for challenging the amount you're [12:18.240 --> 12:23.320] being charged? [12:23.320 --> 12:25.920] I'm not exactly sure on that yet. [12:25.920 --> 12:34.560] I've asked the court clerk a few questions, and that's when she had told me that it could [12:34.560 --> 12:36.240] be a public simple. [12:36.240 --> 12:44.520] And what she failed to tell me was 2011 needs to be paid in full to get it off of the tax [12:44.520 --> 12:45.520] sale block. [12:45.520 --> 12:51.600] Okay, yes, the fourth year is the one that would have to be paid. [12:51.600 --> 12:55.440] And how much is that? [12:55.440 --> 12:57.440] With all the... [12:57.440 --> 12:58.440] It's about $3,500. [12:58.440 --> 12:59.440] But say that again. [12:59.440 --> 13:00.440] You kind of broke up. [13:00.440 --> 13:01.440] About $3,500. [13:01.440 --> 13:10.080] Okay, okay, yeah, you should be able to stop that. [13:10.080 --> 13:17.280] This is important, you've got anything you can sell, any way you could come up with at [13:17.280 --> 13:19.280] least a good portion of it. [13:19.280 --> 13:28.640] Yeah, I've got about half of it now, so I'm on to getting it. [13:28.640 --> 13:35.760] If you go down and give the tax assessor half of it, almost certainly he will stop the sale. [13:35.760 --> 13:42.440] You can offer him half of it on the condition that he stopped the sale and work out payment [13:42.440 --> 13:43.880] options. [13:43.880 --> 13:46.880] If he doesn't, then you can file suit. [13:46.880 --> 13:50.640] It only costs you a couple hundred bucks. [13:50.640 --> 13:57.760] And okay, before you do anything, before you even say anything, I'm trying to look here. [13:57.760 --> 14:05.800] These codes doesn't have a good table of contents, so I can't jump right to where I want to be. [14:05.800 --> 14:11.640] What you want to look at, okay, written estimate of revenue gain or loss or written statement [14:11.640 --> 14:13.880] recommendations, proposed tax law change. [14:13.880 --> 14:20.640] Now, I'm looking for assessments and how they do the assessments. [14:20.640 --> 14:31.920] One way to gain yourself some time is to sue them based on the assessed amount of the tax [14:31.920 --> 14:39.480] and claim that they're charging you too much and they'll jump up and down and wave their [14:39.480 --> 14:48.160] arms and raise the righteous indignation, but you don't care, it'll buy you time. [14:48.160 --> 14:53.720] But before you do that, you need to read the code twice. [14:53.720 --> 14:57.280] The first time you read the code, don't even try to understand it. [14:57.280 --> 15:00.720] Just cruise right through it. [15:00.720 --> 15:07.440] What that will do is give you referential index for the second time you read the code. [15:07.440 --> 15:13.960] When you go back through it a second time, all of these pieces will start fitting together. [15:13.960 --> 15:19.920] I can guarantee you, if you read it twice, you'll understand it better than the tax assessor [15:19.920 --> 15:24.440] does. [15:24.440 --> 15:26.920] Once you've done that, then you can file suit. [15:26.920 --> 15:30.720] It's really easy to file suit. [15:30.720 --> 15:38.080] I had a friend who had an eviction hearing coming up and this is when I was first researching [15:38.080 --> 15:40.520] the foreclosure issue. [15:40.520 --> 15:45.000] He had an eviction hearing in two days and he needed a lawsuit. [15:45.000 --> 15:47.040] I said, man, I'm still doing my research. [15:47.040 --> 15:48.240] He said, I don't have time. [15:48.240 --> 15:49.240] I'm doing research. [15:49.240 --> 15:52.000] He said, I got an eviction hearing coming up. [15:52.000 --> 15:53.000] I need something now. [15:53.000 --> 16:01.000] I went on the internet and pulled down a bunch of junk and put it together and put a lawsuit [16:01.000 --> 16:05.800] caption on it and he went down and filed it and stopped the eviction. [16:05.800 --> 16:14.160] The other side got a copy of it and they sent a motion to dismiss to the court and effectively [16:14.160 --> 16:19.240] said, your honor, you should dismiss this case because it's a bunch of crap. [16:19.240 --> 16:24.640] The judge, he read it, he agreed it's a bunch of crap. [16:24.640 --> 16:29.360] He ordered my friend to file an amended. [16:29.360 --> 16:32.360] He filed it amended. [16:32.360 --> 16:35.680] Now that took about 90 days. [16:35.680 --> 16:36.680] So he filed the amended. [16:36.680 --> 16:37.680] We'll be right back. [16:37.680 --> 16:38.680] We're about to go to break. [16:38.680 --> 16:41.680] We'll pick this up on the other side. [16:41.680 --> 16:44.840] I almost ran off the cliff again.

[18:59.960 --> 19:21.320] You are listening to the Logos Radio Network, LogosRadioNetwork.com. [19:21.320 --> 19:44.920] I'm always on the lookout for something to soothe my soul. [19:44.920 --> 20:08.920] I'm looking through the tax code here, but I'm not sure I'm in the right place. [20:08.920 --> 20:11.480] There seems to be a general tax office. [20:11.480 --> 20:15.480] I don't see a county assessor collector. [20:15.480 --> 20:22.360] I do see where you can post a bond, any bond required to be filed to protect the state [20:22.360 --> 20:27.480] of Oklahoma under this article or any state tax law must be approved. [20:27.480 --> 20:36.040] Are there any bonds required for property taxes in Oklahoma? [20:36.040 --> 20:46.600] Well, the first thing is, is considering the value of your property and how relatively [20:46.600 --> 20:54.680] little you owe on it, you really need to scout for these codes, study them. [20:54.680 --> 20:58.360] You could get a lawyer, but the lawyer would just charge you a fortune and throw you under [20:58.360 --> 21:02.400] the bus anyway. [21:02.400 --> 21:07.480] First thing I suggest and at this point is the only thing I can suggest is that you get [21:07.480 --> 21:12.640] the tax code and read the whole thing twice. [21:12.640 --> 21:20.280] Once you read it twice, you'll have a real good understanding of how all the pieces fit [21:20.280 --> 21:27.120] together and then all you have to do is call them on an issue. [21:27.120 --> 21:37.480] Public officials never do it right, they just can't help themselves, they never do it right. [21:37.480 --> 21:45.920] They do it the way officials have been doing it and if the code doesn't match what they're [21:45.920 --> 21:55.520] doing, they assume there must be some law or case law or regulation or exemption or [21:55.520 --> 21:58.960] something they don't know about. [21:58.960 --> 22:03.360] Because if this was wrong, everybody wouldn't be doing it. [22:03.360 --> 22:11.980] So in short, they just do what they've always been doing, we don't care what the law says. [22:11.980 --> 22:18.400] So when you read the law and bring it back to them, now they start hopping and jumping [22:18.400 --> 22:26.000] and all you have to do is find them violating one law, primarily look at how they assess [22:26.000 --> 22:29.360] the amount of taxes. [22:29.360 --> 22:38.480] Keep in mind they're collecting money to pay salaries, so they have an incentive to collect [22:38.480 --> 22:40.980] all the money they can. [22:40.980 --> 22:47.680] So if there's a matter of a judgment call on whether something should be assessed, they're [22:47.680 --> 22:56.280] going to go for the assessment rather than lowering their income, I mean, this is natural. [22:56.280 --> 23:00.480] And when nobody challenges it, they get used to doing it. [23:00.480 --> 23:06.960] And then they think it's how it's supposed to be done, then somebody like you comes along [23:06.960 --> 23:15.780] and hammers them with it, if you can find some procedure they're doing that has the [23:15.780 --> 23:19.600] effect of increasing their revenue. [23:19.600 --> 23:24.840] Now you can pull out the private attorney general card. [23:24.840 --> 23:30.200] You can sue in the capacity of a private attorney general. [23:30.200 --> 23:38.480] Now there's a lot of stuff in the patriot community about becoming a private attorney [23:38.480 --> 23:39.480] general. [23:39.480 --> 23:42.320] Well, you can't become a private attorney general. [23:42.320 --> 23:51.320] A private attorney general suit is what the courts have named a particular type of suit [23:51.320 --> 23:54.120] that they allow. [23:54.120 --> 24:01.000] Let's say that the tax assessor is assessing an extra hundred bucks on every property in [24:01.000 --> 24:02.000] the county. [24:02.000 --> 24:09.400] Well, a hundred bucks you're going to sue for a hundred bucks, it's going to cost you [24:09.400 --> 24:16.320] several thousand to file and prosecute the suit, so it's not worth it. [24:16.320 --> 24:27.680] However, because of that, because the law leaves these gaps, you can sue in your behalf [24:27.680 --> 24:33.320] and in the behalf of others similarly situated. [24:33.320 --> 24:39.000] And you can collect for yourself and for those others, for the harm to the others. [24:39.000 --> 24:46.240] That way it allows your suit to have a potential payoff of enough to make it worth your paying [24:46.240 --> 24:51.680] the attorney fees and the filing fees and going to all the trouble that it would take [24:51.680 --> 24:56.960] to right this wrong. [24:56.960 --> 25:02.040] And really when you get right down to it, it's not that hard to do a lawsuit, especially [25:02.040 --> 25:03.040] if you're pro se. [25:03.040 --> 25:08.920] And yeah, I know there's some purists out there that are going to say, oh, well, you [25:08.920 --> 25:15.840] shouldn't file a suit unless you have a reasonable expectation of winning and you should never [25:15.840 --> 25:18.040] file a suit just to harass them. [25:18.040 --> 25:26.920] Yeah, I know that, but in the real world we live in, it's all about the money in the end. [25:26.920 --> 25:32.000] When you file a suit against the tax assessor collector, it's going to cost him a whole [25:32.000 --> 25:38.400] lot more than you owe to fight you. [25:38.400 --> 25:44.120] And there's one other really neat little thing that comes with it. [25:44.120 --> 25:49.360] Prosecuting attorneys are usually not the sharpest knives in the drawer. [25:49.360 --> 25:54.400] If they were the sharpest knife in the drawer, they'd be out there making the big bucks. [25:54.400 --> 25:59.960] But to get out of law school and if a firm don't pick them up or they're having trouble [25:59.960 --> 26:08.480] building a clientele, then they go down and run for prosecuting attorney or they go to [26:08.480 --> 26:11.080] work for the prosecutor's office. [26:11.080 --> 26:13.040] And as a prosecutor, they don't have to do much. [26:13.040 --> 26:21.640] All they have to do is make deals because 99.6% of all crimes across the board wind [26:21.640 --> 26:27.240] up with a deal and a plea of guilty, so they don't have to practice law. [26:27.240 --> 26:32.560] All they have to do is get good at making deals. [26:32.560 --> 26:38.880] Then when the prosecuting attorney, which in your case would be the county attorney, [26:38.880 --> 26:49.200] in a lawsuit against the county, the prosecuting attorney becomes the lawyer for the county. [26:49.200 --> 26:57.760] When he's a lawyer for the county, he is not a prosecutor and has zero immunity from [26:57.760 --> 27:01.600] suit. [27:01.600 --> 27:06.920] So if he stubs his little toe, you bang him with a lawsuit. [27:06.920 --> 27:09.680] Now they get real excited. [27:09.680 --> 27:18.320] The prosecutor is going to get really excited because a lawsuit against him will drive their [27:18.320 --> 27:24.240] bond rating through the roof. [27:24.240 --> 27:28.920] And the bonding company, essentially that's the county's insurance company, they're going [27:28.920 --> 27:32.200] to get really unhappy. [27:32.200 --> 27:38.320] And the lawyer himself, if he leaves the prosecutor's office, he won't be able to get malpractice [27:38.320 --> 27:39.800] insurance. [27:39.800 --> 27:45.520] It's not about the law. [27:45.520 --> 27:46.520] It's not about the right of things. [27:46.520 --> 27:48.520] It's all about the politics. [27:48.520 --> 27:49.520] So... [27:49.520 --> 27:59.240] And I understand they're not allowed to charge us direct taxes with property tax falls under [27:59.240 --> 28:00.240] that guy. [28:00.240 --> 28:01.240] Wait a minute. [28:01.240 --> 28:02.240] Hold on. [28:02.240 --> 28:08.960] Move the mic a little bit away from your face, it's distorting. [28:08.960 --> 28:13.800] The property tax is considered a direct tax, but we're not supposed to have a direct tax. [28:13.800 --> 28:16.720] It's not supposed to be a law for direct tax. [28:16.720 --> 28:17.720] Oh, no. [28:17.720 --> 28:21.480] You're not going to win that fight. [28:21.480 --> 28:22.840] You'll get that one. [28:22.840 --> 28:25.720] That one they will dismiss immediately. [28:25.720 --> 28:29.320] And you'll file an appeal and the court of appeals will give it and they will dismiss [28:29.320 --> 28:30.320] immediately. [28:30.320 --> 28:41.520] It is the natural tendency to try to win your case based on the rule of law. [28:41.520 --> 28:45.120] Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. [28:45.120 --> 28:54.240] One of the things you have to look at is even if you're dead bang right, if the court rules [28:54.240 --> 29:02.720] in your favor, then that will have the effect of rendering void all the property tax codes [29:02.720 --> 29:08.160] and will bankrupt the state of Oklahoma. [29:08.160 --> 29:16.440] What do you think the likelihood of that is? [29:16.440 --> 29:26.440] The politics is that we want to look for a claim that if they rule against you, they [29:26.440 --> 29:31.560] damage the corpus juris, the body of law. [29:31.560 --> 29:36.220] Now this trial judge, he don't much care about the body of law. [29:36.220 --> 29:39.880] He just cares about the politics of the moment. [29:39.880 --> 29:45.120] He cares about satisfying the tax assessor collector and the people in the county. [29:45.120 --> 29:49.640] The court of appeals, they have a whole other attitude. [29:49.640 --> 29:53.800] They don't want to render a ruling another lawyer can use that will disrupt the body [29:53.800 --> 29:54.800] of law. [29:54.800 --> 29:55.800] Hang on. [29:55.800 --> 30:03.280] I'll explain this better on the other side, but we'll be right back. [30:03.280 --> 30:08.160] The Chicago Marathon is no tip toe through the tulips, but a pregnant woman overdue with [30:08.160 --> 30:11.720] her second child ran the whole race before going into labor. [30:11.720 --> 30:17.980] I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht, back with the amazing story of the Marathon Mom, next. [30:17.980 --> 30:19.720] Privacy is under attack. [30:19.720 --> 30:23.320] When you give up data about yourself, you'll never get it back again. [30:23.320 --> 30:28.280] And once your privacy is gone, you'll find your freedoms will start to vanish too. [30:28.280 --> 30:33.600] So protect your rights, say no to surveillance, and keep your information to yourself. [30:33.600 --> 30:36.040] Privacy, it's worth hanging on to. [30:36.040 --> 30:41.640] This message is brought to you by StartPage.com, the private search engine alternative to Google, [30:41.640 --> 30:43.400] Yahoo, and Bing. [30:43.400 --> 30:45.240] Start over with StartPage. [30:45.240 --> 30:52.760] Amber Miller, a 27-year-old mom from suburban Chicago, gives new meaning to the word endurance. [30:52.760 --> 30:57.920] Miller was pregnant and three weeks overdue at the start of the city's Marathon. [30:57.920 --> 31:01.960] She'd run seven times before, including once while pregnant with her first child. [31:01.960 --> 31:05.720] So she figured, what the heck, and planned to run only half the course. [31:05.720 --> 31:11.240] But when she got started, she just kept going, finishing the entire 26 miles in just over [31:11.240 --> 31:12.240] six hours. [31:12.240 --> 31:16.640] Then at the finish line, she had a more urgent race to run to the hospital, where she gave [31:16.640 --> 31:19.200] birth to a healthy seven-pound baby girl. [31:19.200 --> 31:21.640] Phew, I bet that was a relief. [31:21.640 --> 31:31.440] I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht for StartPage.com, the world's most private search engine.

[32:05.800 --> 32:09.640] In today's America, we live in an us-against-them society, and if we, the people, are ever going [32:09.640 --> 32:13.600] to have a free society, then we're going to have to stand and defend our own rights. [32:13.600 --> 32:16.800] Among those rights are the right to travel freely from place to place, the right to act [32:16.800 --> 32:20.840] in our own private capacity, and most importantly, the right to due process of law. [32:20.840 --> 32:24.680] Traffic courts afford us the least expensive opportunity to learn how to enforce and preserve [32:24.680 --> 32:26.120] our rights through due process. [32:26.120 --> 32:30.040] Former Sheriff's Deputy Eddie Craig, in conjunction with Rule of Law Radio, has put together the [32:30.040 --> 32:33.800] most comprehensive teaching tool available that will help you understand what due process [32:33.800 --> 32:36.200] is and how to hold courts to the rule of law.

[33:00.600 --> 33:11.960] You're listening to the Logos Radio Network at logosradionetwork.com. [33:11.960 --> 33:37.480] Okay, we are back. [33:37.480 --> 33:42.560] Randy Kelton, Rule of Law Radio, and we're talking to Gary in Oklahoma. [33:42.560 --> 33:46.280] Gary, we're having a little difficulty. [33:46.280 --> 33:52.280] My producer says you're talking too soft, but when you talk loud, your mic is distorting. [33:52.280 --> 33:59.400] So try moving your mic down so it's not in front of your mouth and talk a little bit [33:59.400 --> 34:00.400] louder. [34:00.400 --> 34:01.400] So you put it right by your chin. [34:01.400 --> 34:04.440] Maybe it'll pick up better without distorting. [34:04.440 --> 34:05.440] Okay. [34:05.440 --> 34:18.280] Okay, I'm talking about finding a way to sting them and just to stop them and hold them. [34:18.280 --> 34:23.960] If they're violating a policy or if you can show that it appears that they're violating [34:23.960 --> 34:33.960] a policy, if they're collecting, if they're assessing the tax in a way that doesn't appear [34:33.960 --> 34:41.280] to be completely within their guidelines, and you can always find something like that, [34:41.280 --> 34:43.280] then you sting them. [34:43.280 --> 34:52.360] You file a suit against them and ask for an injunction against the collection of the tax [34:52.360 --> 34:58.880] because if they're assessing more tax than you actually owe, that contributes to your [34:58.880 --> 35:01.240] inability to pay. [35:01.240 --> 35:08.680] So now they become partially liable for your inability to pay, and you ask for an injunction [35:08.680 --> 35:15.080] against the tax assessor so that he doesn't collect any legal tax. [35:15.080 --> 35:20.000] And almost even without an injunction, when you file a suit against them, they'll stop [35:20.000 --> 35:27.840] the collection process, and then this buys you time to recover so you can begin to pay [35:27.840 --> 35:28.840] the tax back. [35:28.840 --> 35:36.760] And of course, almost certainly, because it costs them so much to fight you, they're likely [35:36.760 --> 35:40.640] to come to the table and make a deal for a reduced payoff. [35:40.640 --> 35:48.480] If it's only $3,500, it's going to cost them more than that just to answer it. [35:48.480 --> 35:49.480] Absolutely. [35:49.480 --> 35:50.480] Okay. [35:50.480 --> 35:59.160] Okay, lawyers would say, oh, it's not nice to do that to the poor tax assessor collector. [35:59.160 --> 36:00.160] Yeah, life is tough. [36:00.160 --> 36:03.880] I'm not worried about being nice, that's for certain. [36:03.880 --> 36:04.880] Yeah. [36:04.880 --> 36:05.880] Yeah. [36:05.880 --> 36:10.640] He's not going to be nice when he comes after you, so let's take it back to him, and you [36:10.640 --> 36:11.640] keep him honest. [36:11.640 --> 36:12.640] Okay. [36:12.640 --> 36:18.360] I hope that helps, but go through the code, read the code, and then call us back next [36:18.360 --> 36:19.360] week. [36:19.360 --> 36:20.360] All right. [36:20.360 --> 36:21.360] Okay. [36:21.360 --> 36:22.480] And then we'll talk about what you find in there. [36:22.480 --> 36:27.160] I think you will be pleasantly surprised at what you find in there. [36:27.160 --> 36:28.160] Okay. [36:28.160 --> 36:29.160] Yeah. [36:29.160 --> 36:30.160] The assessment... [36:30.160 --> 36:31.160] Okay. [36:31.160 --> 36:32.160] Thank you, Gary. [36:32.160 --> 36:33.160] Okay. [36:33.160 --> 36:34.160] Yeah, we're good. [36:34.160 --> 36:35.160] Okay. [36:35.160 --> 36:36.160] Wait. [36:36.160 --> 36:37.160] Did you have another question? [36:37.160 --> 36:38.160] No. [36:38.160 --> 36:46.400] I was just going to make two points for some of the information I did find out. [36:46.400 --> 36:50.520] Every four years, they're supposed to assess, a person's supposed to physically come out [36:50.520 --> 36:51.520] and assess. [36:51.520 --> 36:56.760] However, I've been here for 16 years in this house, and I've never seen any paperwork for [36:56.760 --> 37:01.960] the assessment, and also go off of the... [37:01.960 --> 37:07.040] You mean the tax assessor collector's never knocked on your door and asked to look around? [37:07.040 --> 37:09.160] Never, never. [37:09.160 --> 37:11.880] I just had one do that to me recently. [37:11.880 --> 37:17.840] He said, I understand you're doing some work in the house, and you mind if I come in and [37:17.840 --> 37:18.840] look? [37:18.840 --> 37:19.840] I said, get out of here. [37:19.840 --> 37:22.640] Oh, Mr. Kelton, we need to reassess it. [37:22.640 --> 37:26.600] Yes, yeah, I know you do, but I don't want you to. [37:26.600 --> 37:28.120] And I told him I wasn't finished yet. [37:28.120 --> 37:31.640] When I'm finished with the work, they're going to want to come and reassess it, so they looked [37:31.640 --> 37:32.640] my assessment. [37:32.640 --> 37:39.920] So if you've never seen them, then they're just doing an average tax, and if the code [37:39.920 --> 37:48.840] says they're supposed to do an assessment, that's one you can sting them good. [37:48.840 --> 37:54.600] Now they're looking at having to go out and actually assess every property. [37:54.600 --> 37:56.920] That's going to cost them a lot of money. [37:56.920 --> 38:01.720] Yes, speaking to their duty. [38:01.720 --> 38:05.880] Oh, this is great. [38:05.880 --> 38:16.440] After all this is said and done, I found out, though, that if you own your allotium title, [38:16.440 --> 38:21.080] then you can get taken off of a tax roll. [38:21.080 --> 38:23.960] That's a lot, that's somewhat different. [38:23.960 --> 38:31.960] We had a guy out of New York, and what he did was, is he sent a letter to the tax assessor [38:31.960 --> 38:41.640] collector, I'm sorry, sent a letter to the county commissioner's court, and asked the [38:41.640 --> 38:52.280] court if the county or the state had a claim against his property. [38:52.280 --> 38:57.040] And they sent back a letter saying, no, they don't, but they will, in your case, they'll [38:57.040 --> 38:58.040] say this tax thing. [38:58.040 --> 39:01.880] Let me explain how this works. [39:01.880 --> 39:12.400] Actually, the state of Oklahoma gave away a whole bunch of land grants, but part of [39:12.400 --> 39:17.240] it is, in the great land rush, that was where they gave away a bunch of land, but the rest [39:17.240 --> 39:20.160] of it they sold. [39:20.160 --> 39:24.760] And when they sold the property to someone, they took a lien against the property, because [39:24.760 --> 39:30.440] they most often sold the property on time, because nobody had any money to pay for it [39:30.440 --> 39:32.360] all at once. [39:32.360 --> 39:38.200] So they took a lien against the property in the form of a title. [39:38.200 --> 39:46.800] The deed to your property is a lien, the warranty deed, that's a lien that the state has against [39:46.800 --> 39:49.560] your property. [39:49.560 --> 39:55.360] And once it was paid off, that lien was, that title was supposed to have been eliminated, [39:55.360 --> 39:59.320] and you go back to a new year, a loyal title. [39:59.320 --> 40:01.160] But nobody did that. [40:01.160 --> 40:06.520] The only time they can tax you is if the state holds a claim against the property. [40:06.520 --> 40:12.160] So you go in and ask the county tax assessor collector if the state has a claim against [40:12.160 --> 40:15.080] your property. [40:15.080 --> 40:18.560] And if your taxes are all paid up, they're going to say no, and you need them to say [40:18.560 --> 40:21.320] no. [40:21.320 --> 40:27.360] And once they say no, then you send a letter to the tax assessor collector stating that [40:27.360 --> 40:33.280] the state has no claim against your property to remove, to remove to the, to the private [40:33.280 --> 40:34.280] roles. [40:34.280 --> 40:40.720] There's a section for private property and state-claimed property, and that takes you [40:40.720 --> 40:43.560] off the tax rolls. [40:43.560 --> 40:47.880] A loyal title or getting off the tax rolls has other consequences. [40:47.880 --> 40:50.800] Do you live in a municipality? [40:50.800 --> 40:51.800] Yes. [40:51.800 --> 40:57.880] Okay, if you're in town, that creates other problems. [40:57.880 --> 41:04.120] If you bring forward your loyal title and get off the tax rolls, you're no longer paying [41:04.120 --> 41:08.440] for police on fire protection. [41:08.440 --> 41:12.840] They won't be allowed to protect you. [41:12.840 --> 41:18.560] If your house catches on fire, all the fire department can do is keep the houses around [41:18.560 --> 41:19.960] you from catching on fire. [41:19.960 --> 41:24.840] They can't put years out because you're not under contract with them. [41:24.840 --> 41:29.640] If you call the police, they can't come to your property and assist you because you're [41:29.640 --> 41:33.200] not under contract with them. [41:33.200 --> 41:34.720] So all under contract. [41:34.720 --> 41:41.000] So a loyal title is an, may be an option. [41:41.000 --> 41:48.600] It's a greater option in Texas because we have our own land board and everybody else [41:48.600 --> 41:57.160] goes through the BLM, Bureau of Land Management for the U.S. Texas has its own. [41:57.160 --> 42:02.760] So it's more difficult through the BLM, but even if you did, it has consequences. [42:02.760 --> 42:11.760] Much more difficult than just suing them and say, okay, guys, you've been bad boys, but [42:11.760 --> 42:14.240] let's make a deal. [42:14.240 --> 42:20.920] You clear up all my bad taxes and I'll drop my suit against you. [42:20.920 --> 42:22.120] Otherwise you might lose it. [42:22.120 --> 42:27.120] Now you're going to have to go out and assess every single property in the county. [42:27.120 --> 42:33.040] It's your call, guys, but okay, but do your homework. [42:33.040 --> 42:35.640] Make sure you got all your ducks in a row. [42:35.640 --> 42:42.480] Read the code twice and read the whole thing because they had, they got hidden stuff in [42:42.480 --> 42:49.000] there and once you've read it, you know what's there, then they can't pull any fast ones [42:49.000 --> 42:50.000] on you. [42:50.000 --> 42:51.000] All right. [42:51.000 --> 42:57.560] Well, I appreciate your time and your information and have a great evening. [42:57.560 --> 42:58.560] Okay. [42:58.560 --> 42:59.560] Thank you, Gary. [42:59.560 --> 43:00.560] Okay. [43:00.560 --> 43:01.960] Now we're going to go to Joseph in New York. [43:01.960 --> 43:02.960] Hello, Joseph. [43:02.960 --> 43:05.880] I understand you also have a tax issue. [43:05.880 --> 43:07.680] Yes, I do. [43:07.680 --> 43:15.440] Wait, we got 50 seconds, so state it quickly and give me about 50 in front of outro. [43:15.440 --> 43:16.440] Okay. [43:16.440 --> 43:30.080] It has to do with a hearing that was held to, or supposedly held to transfer the... [43:30.080 --> 43:31.080] Wait a minute. [43:31.080 --> 43:33.520] This is not going to get done in 30 seconds. [43:33.520 --> 43:34.520] Hold on. [43:34.520 --> 43:35.520] Okay. [43:35.520 --> 43:36.520] We're about to go to break.

[46:15.000 --> 46:30.560] Always, I must be careful what I'm wishing for. [46:30.560 --> 46:38.600] When I'm hungry, I like to know just what I'm fishing for. [46:38.600 --> 46:39.600] I ain't asking for much. [46:39.600 --> 46:43.280] Okay, we are back, Randy Kelton, Rule of Law Radio, and we're talking to Joseph in New [46:43.280 --> 46:44.280] York. [46:44.280 --> 46:45.280] Where were we? [46:45.280 --> 46:50.280] Well, yeah, I wanted to bring up one thing before I got to my question. [46:50.280 --> 47:02.200] Back in the 1980s, a fellow acquired a royal title in my village to his house, and several [47:02.200 --> 47:05.200] years later, his house caught on fire. [47:05.200 --> 47:09.920] And the fire department did exactly as you said, they just got to make sure everybody [47:09.920 --> 47:14.000] was safe, allowed his house to burn down. [47:14.000 --> 47:24.640] He sued the village and won, you know, I'm not sure, you know, particulars of the cases. [47:24.640 --> 47:27.920] Even though he wasn't under contract with them. [47:27.920 --> 47:28.920] This is correct. [47:28.920 --> 47:36.720] Okay, I would have to see the suit, there's probably some statutory provision that made [47:36.720 --> 47:45.480] it the duty of the fire department to protect safety of all the citizens without regard. [47:45.480 --> 47:51.960] Yeah, I'm not sure how that works. [47:51.960 --> 47:57.000] What we suggest for people who do have a royal title is they go to the police department [47:57.000 --> 48:02.840] and the fire department and write their own contract with them. [48:02.840 --> 48:03.840] Yeah. [48:03.840 --> 48:13.280] But when you do that, there goes a lot of the advantage of the getting off the tax rolls. [48:13.280 --> 48:14.280] Yeah. [48:14.280 --> 48:22.000] Because you wind up having to pay anyway, so I don't know how much advantage it is. [48:22.000 --> 48:28.640] But that is an interesting story, it would be interesting to find out how he managed [48:28.640 --> 48:39.120] to win the suit, because it may be that the fire department doesn't have to be in contract [48:39.120 --> 48:43.480] with him for him to have a right to the protection. [48:43.480 --> 48:52.000] But I wouldn't think so because originally we didn't have fire departments, we had volunteers. [48:52.000 --> 49:00.240] So who pays the fire department, if you're in a municipality, the municipality pays the [49:00.240 --> 49:01.240] fire department. [49:01.240 --> 49:09.600] So the fire department is, they are a part of this municipal corporation. [49:09.600 --> 49:12.240] Correct, yes. [49:12.240 --> 49:23.440] If you have a royal title, then you will be presumed not to be in contract with the city [49:23.440 --> 49:30.440] unless you did something else to bring you in contract with the city. [49:30.440 --> 49:41.800] So if he's contracting for city services, water, if the city supplies electricity, then [49:41.800 --> 49:53.360] electricity, garbage pickup, I would think that if he is in the municipality and he uses [49:53.360 --> 50:02.320] the public thoroughfares, then he's likely to have a legal obligation to pay for that [50:02.320 --> 50:05.520] usage. [50:05.520 --> 50:15.520] And even if he doesn't, by the usage of it, he would gain a benefit and thereby be in [50:15.520 --> 50:18.120] an adhesion contract with the city. [50:18.120 --> 50:20.320] Correct, yes, yes. [50:20.320 --> 50:28.400] I'm not sure how that would work, and in saying that, then we go back to the right to travel. [50:28.400 --> 50:35.440] The public thoroughfares are public thoroughfares and not just thoroughfares usable by those [50:35.440 --> 50:38.440] who are in contract. [50:38.440 --> 50:46.080] So technically, he should be able to use all the thoroughfares anyway, especially if they [50:46.080 --> 50:51.280] use any federal funds because an loyal title doesn't get him around federal taxes, so [50:51.280 --> 50:59.720] he would be presumed to be in some kind of contract with the feds, and that would give [50:59.720 --> 51:03.440] him access to all the thoroughfares. [51:03.440 --> 51:07.800] I'm just kind of bouncing through all the things I can think of that would likely influence [51:07.800 --> 51:15.560] this, but I don't understand how they can hold the fire department responsible unless [51:15.560 --> 51:21.040] there's a specific statute that orders them to put out a fire no matter what. [51:21.040 --> 51:24.560] Well, I remember it created an awful ruckus. [51:24.560 --> 51:33.360] I mean, there was a lot of articles in the various newspapers about it because the fire [51:33.360 --> 51:40.600] department, you know, the public officials were up in arms, you know. [51:40.600 --> 51:42.600] I understand it. [51:42.600 --> 51:43.600] It's reasonable. [51:43.600 --> 51:48.920] You don't want to pay the taxes, but you want to hold us responsible for providing [51:48.920 --> 51:50.920] your services anyway. [51:50.920 --> 51:51.920] Yes. [51:51.920 --> 52:00.320] So if I'm the guy next door, you know, I'm not going to be happy about that. [52:00.320 --> 52:01.320] Right. [52:01.320 --> 52:04.840] So that is an interesting issue. [52:04.840 --> 52:05.840] Okay. [52:05.840 --> 52:08.840] Let's go to your issue. [52:08.840 --> 52:10.600] I'm thinking to look that up. [52:10.600 --> 52:11.600] Oh, okay. [52:11.600 --> 52:16.360] My issue is I decided to pick a fight with the tax department. [52:16.360 --> 52:20.680] Oh, a guy after my own heart. [52:20.680 --> 52:24.240] Well, that's the kind of fight to have. [52:24.240 --> 52:31.280] Well, you know, sometimes I'm a little braver than I am smart, but you know, I got involved [52:31.280 --> 52:36.800] in, you know, taking on the tax department and, you know, then some other things came [52:36.800 --> 52:44.080] up and it, you know, it got in the way of me pursuing it in a timely fashion. [52:44.080 --> 52:50.480] So fortunately, when they seized my property, a friend of mine bought it for me. [52:50.480 --> 52:58.480] So now he holds title to my, not title, he has, you know, let's see. [52:58.480 --> 52:59.480] Tax leaning. [52:59.480 --> 53:00.480] Tax leaning, yes. [53:00.480 --> 53:01.480] Yes. [53:01.480 --> 53:02.480] Yes. [53:02.480 --> 53:12.080] So he, you know, presently, you know, he has, you know, possession of my home, even though [53:12.080 --> 53:16.520] I still live here. [53:16.520 --> 53:29.640] My initial attack was going to be, you know, I wanted to see the transfer document. [53:29.640 --> 53:34.360] And you know, so I went to the, I went to the court and I asked them, you know, I want [53:34.360 --> 53:40.560] to see, I want copies of, you know, the hearing. [53:40.560 --> 53:44.600] Well, they didn't, they couldn't find any hearing. [53:44.600 --> 53:47.840] They told me to go to the county records. [53:47.840 --> 53:48.840] So I went there. [53:48.840 --> 53:49.840] They didn't have any copy of the hearing. [53:49.840 --> 53:55.240] They told me, well, the Treasury Department would initially acquire that, they probably [53:55.240 --> 53:56.240] still got it. [53:56.240 --> 53:58.160] So I went there and they didn't have it. [53:58.160 --> 54:00.520] All they had was a threat that they were going to do it. [54:00.520 --> 54:08.400] So now I said, well, did you give them a, did you give them a written request? [54:08.400 --> 54:12.560] Not yet, because, you know, that's just what I'm about to do. [54:12.560 --> 54:13.560] Okay. [54:13.560 --> 54:20.520] You know, I went to my files and, you know, they pulled my files in both the records department [54:20.520 --> 54:27.120] and in the Treasury Department and, you know, there's just nothing in them. [54:27.120 --> 54:31.920] And I was like, well, how the heck did you guys get the authority to sell my property [54:31.920 --> 54:35.480] if, you know, this didn't get transferred? [54:35.480 --> 54:41.800] So now my question to you is, you know, I'm very simple for you, is what's my best next [54:41.800 --> 54:42.800] move? [54:42.800 --> 54:43.800] Okay. [54:43.800 --> 54:50.040] For in the future, I want to back you up a little bit. [54:50.040 --> 54:57.800] The first time you ask someone for documents and they say they don't have them, you take [54:57.800 --> 55:02.760] out a piece of paper and give them a written request. [55:02.760 --> 55:10.760] I did this in recently in Hayes County and the clerk got my written request and said, [55:10.760 --> 55:12.880] well, Mr. Calvin, I just told you we don't have that. [55:12.880 --> 55:14.640] I said, I know that. [55:14.640 --> 55:19.320] But now I have requested the records in writing and under the Open Records Act, I have a right [55:19.320 --> 55:21.520] to response in writing. [55:21.520 --> 55:25.400] So I just need you to write me a response that says we have no records responsive to [55:25.400 --> 55:27.360] your request. [55:27.360 --> 55:28.360] And she did. [55:28.360 --> 55:34.440] Now I can document on this day, at this time, they didn't have them. [55:34.440 --> 55:38.000] Tell me you recorded these guys when you talked to them. [55:38.000 --> 55:44.840] No, it was initially I was just, you know, running around doing it. [55:44.840 --> 55:45.840] Okay. [55:45.840 --> 55:46.840] Okay. [55:46.840 --> 55:48.400] This is what I would like you to do. [55:48.400 --> 55:54.200] Take the phone and beat yourself around the eyes and the ears. [55:54.200 --> 55:56.240] Okay. [55:56.240 --> 56:02.680] Now go back to each department and, oh, wait a minute, hold on. [56:02.680 --> 56:08.600] Do you know which department should have the records? [56:08.600 --> 56:12.400] Yeah, the records department should have the records. [56:12.400 --> 56:19.080] And give the records department a request, and that's good because for the most part, [56:19.080 --> 56:21.080] they just keep the records. [56:21.080 --> 56:24.040] People send them the records, they store the records. [56:24.040 --> 56:25.440] They don't have to go out and get the records. [56:25.440 --> 56:28.520] If you don't send me the records, I don't care. [56:28.520 --> 56:31.040] I don't keep what I don't get. [56:31.040 --> 56:34.400] So they'll just go in there and look and say, oh, well, it's not here. [56:34.400 --> 56:35.400] Nobody sent it to us. [56:35.400 --> 56:37.480] And they're finished. [56:37.480 --> 56:41.400] So they won't go scour the county looking for them. [56:41.400 --> 56:48.200] So if I request them, and if they say they don't have them, ask them to do that in writing. [56:48.200 --> 56:53.920] And you can tell them it's okay to do emails because emails are something that you can [56:53.920 --> 56:56.960] track and it's nice and quick. [56:56.960 --> 57:04.080] So give them a request for these documents and notify them they can respond in writing [57:04.080 --> 57:06.600] or by email. [57:06.600 --> 57:15.080] Once you get a confirmation that they don't have it, now you can go after the tax sale. [57:15.080 --> 57:22.840] Is there a deed filed in the record, a tax lien filed in the record? [57:22.840 --> 57:23.840] Yes. [57:23.840 --> 57:24.840] Okay. [57:24.840 --> 57:28.960] Does the lien have your friend's name on it? [57:28.960 --> 57:29.960] Yes. [57:29.960 --> 57:30.960] Okay. [57:30.960 --> 57:38.560] And then you go in and file against that lien and sue your friend. [57:38.560 --> 57:52.200] And then have your friend sue the county for doing a bogus sale to him. [57:52.200 --> 57:58.160] And if they have to undo the sale, now your friend loses the benefit of the bar. [57:58.160 --> 58:06.480] Okay, and he gets to sue them based on his loss of the benefit of the bargain. [58:06.480 --> 58:08.560] We'll talk a little bit more about that on the other side. [58:08.560 --> 58:10.040] That should be a lot of fun. [58:10.040 --> 58:11.040] Okay. [58:11.040 --> 58:12.040] And one thing, I've got about 40 seconds. [58:12.040 --> 58:16.920] I want to mention one of our producers suggested that we should make up some bumper stickers. [58:16.920 --> 58:20.080] So I'm going to make up a bunch of bumper stickers. [58:20.080 --> 58:27.040] And Rue La Radio, I listen to Rue La Radio and we're going to make those, we're going [58:27.040 --> 58:31.840] to put them up for sale for like five or 10 bucks, maybe we'll produce a little income [58:31.840 --> 58:34.320] for this, for the station. [58:34.320 --> 58:39.380] And Rue La Radio is getting kind of known, especially around Texas. [58:39.380 --> 58:42.680] So it might actually get you out of a ticket. [58:42.680 --> 58:50.400] Okay, about to go to break, call in number 512-646-1984, we'll be right back. [58:50.400 --> 58:54.200] Would you like to make more definite progress in your walk with God?

[01:00:00.720 --> 01:00:05.880] The following use flash is brought to you by the Lone Star Lowdown, providing your daily [01:00:05.880 --> 01:00:08.120] bulletins for the commodity market. [01:00:08.120 --> 01:00:21.320] Today in history, news updates and the inside scoop into the tides of the alternative. [01:00:21.320 --> 01:00:26.360] Markets for Wednesday, March 30th, 2016 are currently treading with gold at $1,227.66 [01:00:26.360 --> 01:00:34.320] an ounce, silver $15.20 an ounce, Texas crude $38.28 a barrel and Bitcoin is currently sitting [01:00:34.320 --> 01:00:43.200] at about $412 U.S. currency. [01:00:43.200 --> 01:00:49.320] Today in history, the year 1870, Texas becomes the last Confederate state remitted to the [01:00:49.320 --> 01:00:50.320] Union. [01:00:50.320 --> 01:00:55.440] Though the new state constitution wasn't approved until 1876, Texas formerly part of the Confederacy [01:00:55.440 --> 01:01:02.120] was admitted into the Union today in history. [01:01:02.120 --> 01:01:05.360] In recent news, the Federal Trade Commission announced today its efforts to crack down [01:01:05.360 --> 01:01:06.860] on fake cancer charities. [01:01:06.860 --> 01:01:11.240] The Cancer Fund of America, Cancer Support Services and their leader, James Reynolds, [01:01:11.240 --> 01:01:15.840] including Reynolds Sr., will have to surrender an undisclosed amount of their personal assets [01:01:15.840 --> 01:01:18.560] as part of a settlement with the FTC and states. [01:01:18.560 --> 01:01:23.000] These purported nonprofits agreed to be permanently dissolved and their assets liquidated. [01:01:23.000 --> 01:01:27.120] Reynolds is also prohibited for life from managing charitable assets or being part of [01:01:27.120 --> 01:01:30.120] a charity's board or a trustee. [01:01:30.120 --> 01:01:35.760] According to the FTC, of more than the $75 million the charities raised, a vast majority [01:01:35.760 --> 01:01:39.760] of these funds were going to the charity's organizers and their friends with a measly [01:01:39.760 --> 01:01:44.060] percentage less than five going to actual patients and research. [01:01:44.060 --> 01:01:48.960] To make matters worse, an estimated 85% of the millions were spent on fundraising for [01:01:48.960 --> 01:01:50.360] the scheme itself. [01:01:50.360 --> 01:01:54.680] The charity's remaining assets will first go to pay the state's litigation fees afterward [01:01:54.680 --> 01:01:59.180] to actual legitimate charities the states elect, though an FTC spokesman did state [01:01:59.180 --> 01:02:08.520] in an email that if there's any money left, it would probably be a very small amount. [01:02:08.520 --> 01:02:12.640] After more than six years in development, IBM's TrueNorth brain-inspired processor [01:02:12.640 --> 01:02:16.480] will be put to the test at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab. [01:02:16.480 --> 01:02:21.440] They purchased IBM's Neuromorphic System, a brain-inspired program based on the TrueNorth [01:02:21.440 --> 01:02:22.440] chip. [01:02:22.440 --> 01:02:25.680] The California Research Lab is set to use it to help the National Nuclear Security [01:02:25.680 --> 01:02:29.160] Administration battle cybersecurity issues. [01:02:29.160 --> 01:02:34.400] Consuming just 2.5 watts of power, the same as a tablet computer, the Neuromorphic System [01:02:34.400 --> 01:02:40.360] can process the equivalent of 16 million neurons and 4 billion synapses, containing only 16 [01:02:40.360 --> 01:02:42.000] of these TrueNorth chips. [01:02:42.000 --> 01:02:47.240] IBM chief scientist Dharmendra Modha stated that the delivery of this advanced computing [01:02:47.240 --> 01:02:53.080] platform represents a major milestone as we enter the next era of cognitive computing. [01:02:53.080 --> 01:03:00.080] This is Rick Rode with your Lowdown for March 30, 2016. [01:03:23.080 --> 01:03:30.640] Okay, we are back, Randy Kelton, Room of La Radio, and we're talking to Joseph in New [01:03:30.640 --> 01:03:31.640] York. [01:03:31.640 --> 01:03:32.640] Okay, Joe. [01:03:32.640 --> 01:03:49.680] I guess the one thing I would ask is would there be a way I could proceed that would [01:03:49.680 --> 01:03:54.480] be just as effective, that wouldn't involve me suing my friend? [01:03:54.480 --> 01:03:55.960] I'd hate to have, you know... [01:03:55.960 --> 01:03:56.960] No, no, no. [01:03:56.960 --> 01:03:57.960] That's not it. [01:03:57.960 --> 01:03:58.960] ...not be my friend anymore. [01:03:58.960 --> 01:03:59.960] You see... [01:03:59.960 --> 01:04:00.960] What? [01:04:00.960 --> 01:04:01.960] No, no, no. [01:04:01.960 --> 01:04:05.360] It's kind of a friendly suit. [01:04:05.360 --> 01:04:12.840] Your friend is not at fault at all, but you don't sue him for damages. [01:04:12.840 --> 01:04:16.320] You sue him for declaratory judgment. [01:04:16.320 --> 01:04:22.080] So in suing him, you give him a claim against the city. [01:04:22.080 --> 01:04:23.080] So... [01:04:23.080 --> 01:04:25.080] All right, but I don't harm him. [01:04:25.080 --> 01:04:26.080] No, no. [01:04:26.080 --> 01:04:27.080] This is a friendly suit. [01:04:27.080 --> 01:04:28.080] Oh, okay. [01:04:28.080 --> 01:04:29.080] Yeah. [01:04:29.080 --> 01:04:34.200] He don't have a claim unless he's been harmed. [01:04:34.200 --> 01:04:37.360] Once you sue him, now he's been harmed. [01:04:37.360 --> 01:04:45.640] And if you first do your homework or can make sure of what they're supposed to have, make [01:04:45.640 --> 01:04:52.720] sure exactly what the steps are supposed to be, then you go in and sharp shoot them with [01:04:52.720 --> 01:05:02.480] requests for documentation that should occur in the process of doing these steps. [01:05:02.480 --> 01:05:09.360] It's better if you can do this in a way that doesn't send up a red flag. [01:05:09.360 --> 01:05:19.120] I went in to Weatherford, Texas the other day and I asked to see a list of all the attorneys [01:05:19.120 --> 01:05:28.120] on the attorney wheel, a list of all vouchers for payment to attorneys on the attorney wheel, [01:05:28.120 --> 01:05:31.240] and something else. [01:05:31.240 --> 01:05:34.960] And I really didn't care about that. [01:05:34.960 --> 01:05:41.720] And then I went in and requested a bunch of documents, a bunch of different cases. [01:05:41.720 --> 01:05:46.440] So they don't know what I'm looking for, what I'm looking for. [01:05:46.440 --> 01:05:52.120] Oh, and one other request I put in was all documents collected, symbol maintained by [01:05:52.120 --> 01:05:56.400] the department that are referenced by Article 17.3-0, Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. [01:05:56.400 --> 01:05:59.000] And they're not even going to know what that is. [01:05:59.000 --> 01:06:03.920] After an examining trial, the magistrate is supposed to seal all the documents, head in [01:06:03.920 --> 01:06:07.120] the hearing, cause his name to be written across the seal of the envelope for it at [01:06:07.120 --> 01:06:08.680] the clerk's court of jurisdiction. [01:06:08.680 --> 01:06:12.080] They never, ever do that. [01:06:12.080 --> 01:06:17.080] So I asked for all this other stuff and just stick that one in there. [01:06:17.080 --> 01:06:23.800] There has to be an order under 16.17 in the court record and there's not one there. [01:06:23.800 --> 01:06:27.480] I don't want them to figure that out. [01:06:27.480 --> 01:06:32.440] When I asked for those records, that's one of the ones I'm looking for, but I don't [01:06:32.440 --> 01:06:35.520] want them to know what I'm looking for. [01:06:35.520 --> 01:06:39.800] So I asked for things in a way that it's not clear what I'm looking for so they don't [01:06:39.800 --> 01:06:42.280] know how to fix it. [01:06:42.280 --> 01:06:48.080] So when you go in and ask for records, don't just ask for what you want. [01:06:48.080 --> 01:06:54.760] Ask for some other stuff around it so it's not clear where you're headed. [01:06:54.760 --> 01:06:58.640] That way they don't get fair warning. [01:06:58.640 --> 01:07:08.320] This is not ordinary civil behavior, this is legal civil behavior and in legal civil [01:07:08.320 --> 01:07:14.240] behavior Bushwhack is perfectly acceptable. [01:07:14.240 --> 01:07:16.760] No fair warnings. [01:07:16.760 --> 01:07:22.940] So go in and ask them for a bunch of junk and you may actually get them to screw up [01:07:22.940 --> 01:07:26.960] on giving you all the junk because then you get a claim against them. [01:07:26.960 --> 01:07:33.080] But the main one is, you know, all the steps in the procedure, look for the documents they [01:07:33.080 --> 01:07:42.000] have to file, the notices they have to give and any document that's missing in the process [01:07:42.000 --> 01:07:53.360] that would make the sale technically improper so that they have to go back and redo the [01:07:53.360 --> 01:07:54.360] sale. [01:07:54.360 --> 01:08:03.520] Well, they can't just undo the sale and then sell it back to your friend. [01:08:03.520 --> 01:08:08.920] If they undo the sale, they have to hold another auction. [01:08:08.920 --> 01:08:13.500] Even if your friend buys it back, he had a right to that purchase. [01:08:13.500 --> 01:08:19.520] He purchased the property and he had a right to the benefit of that bargain and when they [01:08:19.520 --> 01:08:23.720] undo the sale, he's lost the benefit of that bargain. [01:08:23.720 --> 01:08:28.000] Now he has to come back and make the bargain again. [01:08:28.000 --> 01:08:33.680] So now he gets to sue for what he would have made on the deal that the city screwed up [01:08:33.680 --> 01:08:34.680] for him. [01:08:34.680 --> 01:08:36.680] Does that make sense? [01:08:36.680 --> 01:08:38.080] Yes. [01:08:38.080 --> 01:08:46.360] So you sue, once you get all your ducks in a row, you sue the county and you sue your [01:08:46.360 --> 01:08:51.920] friend and your friend jumps up and down rails and righteous indignation and he sues the [01:08:51.920 --> 01:08:55.160] county himself. [01:08:55.160 --> 01:08:57.640] Now they got two guys coming at him. [01:08:57.640 --> 01:09:04.760] Well, yeah, he was trying to open that we could sue them together because I was talking [01:09:04.760 --> 01:09:13.960] about filing a suit in the sunset because I'm really not all that attached to the house. [01:09:13.960 --> 01:09:16.720] There's just things that we were kicking around. [01:09:16.720 --> 01:09:25.080] That would be great fun because he has a good quality claim. [01:09:25.080 --> 01:09:32.840] This sets them up so he gets a claim all on his own. [01:09:32.840 --> 01:09:35.200] Then they're still dealing with the property. [01:09:35.200 --> 01:09:45.080] So you both of you sue, you sue him, he sues them, they get you to drop your suit against [01:09:45.080 --> 01:09:51.360] him, so he'll drop his suit against them and you get them to drop all their taxes against [01:09:51.360 --> 01:09:52.360] you. [01:09:52.360 --> 01:09:53.360] Really? [01:09:53.360 --> 01:09:54.360] Yeah. [01:09:54.360 --> 01:09:55.360] Yeah. [01:09:55.360 --> 01:10:02.560] It's going to cost them more to fight you, even if they win in the end. [01:10:02.560 --> 01:10:08.160] The problem they have is with your friend. [01:10:08.160 --> 01:10:12.880] You have sued him because of the improprieties of the county. [01:10:12.880 --> 01:10:16.840] Doesn't matter if the county can make what they did right. [01:10:16.840 --> 01:10:28.000] He got sued and he had to answer the suit and his lawyer was really, really expensive. [01:10:28.000 --> 01:10:41.000] He had to go to counseling because now he has post-mortem depression, I don't know. [01:10:41.000 --> 01:10:44.000] Our guys just made him a wreck. [01:10:44.000 --> 01:10:45.000] Yeah. [01:10:45.000 --> 01:10:50.920] Again, his wife won't talk to him and... [01:10:50.920 --> 01:10:51.920] She's going to divorce him. [01:10:51.920 --> 01:10:52.920] Oh, this is awful. [01:10:52.920 --> 01:10:57.400] He's got to do his own cooking now. [01:10:57.400 --> 01:11:06.520] Guys, now his life's in jeopardy. [01:11:06.520 --> 01:11:13.120] We need... This sounds like it's funny and stuff, but it's not. [01:11:13.120 --> 01:11:15.240] There's business. [01:11:15.240 --> 01:11:17.760] They are public servants. [01:11:17.760 --> 01:11:26.560] You are the master of those servants, and it is your duty to police your public servants. [01:11:26.560 --> 01:11:33.040] This is not just for fun or money. [01:11:33.040 --> 01:11:45.160] I got into this because of all of the crazy laws, I want to call them laws, that have [01:11:45.160 --> 01:11:48.400] been getting passed in the last decade. [01:11:48.400 --> 01:11:55.560] They really just stripped us of so many rights and I was just getting more and more angry [01:11:55.560 --> 01:11:56.560] about it. [01:11:56.560 --> 01:12:02.320] I wanted to find a positive way to fight back. [01:12:02.320 --> 01:12:08.560] I didn't really want to get involved in this, so disobedient, so I don't want to... [01:12:08.560 --> 01:12:17.800] One of the things that is absolutely consistent with public officials, they just cannot bring [01:12:17.800 --> 01:12:20.800] themselves to do it right. [01:12:20.800 --> 01:12:21.800] Yes. [01:12:21.800 --> 01:12:25.720] They just can't. [01:12:25.720 --> 01:12:31.840] The more you sting them, it seems the dumber they get. [01:12:31.840 --> 01:12:36.080] The one thing they hate... Texas, they hate to see me coming. [01:12:36.080 --> 01:12:41.360] My district attorney in the county I live in hates me. [01:12:41.360 --> 01:12:46.600] My daughter, she married a relatively prominent family in the county, and they're politically [01:12:46.600 --> 01:12:47.600] well-connected. [01:12:47.600 --> 01:12:57.200] It just infuriates my daughter that the district judge absolutely hates me. [01:12:57.200 --> 01:13:06.360] The reason he hates me is I've taken his own code and crammed it right down his throat. [01:13:06.360 --> 01:13:13.640] The 21st of this month I will file first degree felony aggravated assault charges against [01:13:13.640 --> 01:13:16.200] him directly with the grand jury. [01:13:16.200 --> 01:13:21.800] The prosecuting attorney has already said he will stand aside. [01:13:21.800 --> 01:13:24.680] You want to play hardball with me, Bubba? [01:13:24.680 --> 01:13:28.080] I will introduce you to the deep end of the pool. [01:13:28.080 --> 01:13:35.480] I'm taking him in the Texas range of both, but I'm dead point on law. [01:13:35.480 --> 01:13:36.960] Okay. [01:13:36.960 --> 01:13:38.520] It's really nitpicking. [01:13:38.520 --> 01:13:41.960] Okay, I got that part. [01:13:41.960 --> 01:13:46.360] I cut this really fine legal hair, but I cut it. [01:13:46.360 --> 01:13:50.720] He's going to have to stand and answer. [01:13:50.720 --> 01:13:56.760] Next time I go to him for the purpose of asserting a right, he's not going to threaten to have [01:13:56.760 --> 01:14:01.160] me arrested and have an armed debate, he's put his hand on my arm. [01:14:01.160 --> 01:14:03.840] We'll see how that works out for you. [01:14:03.840 --> 01:14:05.600] This is our job. [01:14:05.600 --> 01:14:06.600] Right. [01:14:06.600 --> 01:14:10.600] They're the servants, we're the masters. [01:14:10.600 --> 01:14:16.360] Better to hold them to the fine letter of a tiny little law than let them get out of [01:14:16.360 --> 01:14:20.960] my hand until they do something really outrageous that can cost them their career. [01:14:20.960 --> 01:14:25.240] Sting them over something minor. [01:14:25.240 --> 01:14:27.120] It's more powerful when you sting. [01:14:27.120 --> 01:14:31.760] You sting these guys this way and they realize you set them up. [01:14:31.760 --> 01:14:36.280] That makes it 10 times better. [01:14:36.280 --> 01:14:43.840] When I pulled that hearing aid gambit on a justice of the peace in Tarrant County, that [01:14:43.840 --> 01:14:44.840] was most... [01:14:44.840 --> 01:14:50.200] I was just screwing around and it turned out to be one of the most powerful things I did [01:14:50.200 --> 01:14:55.920] because I set the judge up, told him I didn't have a hearing aid and I lied to him. [01:14:55.920 --> 01:15:01.720] I had it in my pocket and he wouldn't turn the sound up in the courtroom. [01:15:01.720 --> 01:15:07.600] When I was done, I asked the bailiff to arrest him for not providing me accommodation under [01:15:07.600 --> 01:15:09.720] the Americans with Disabilities Act. [01:15:09.720 --> 01:15:14.480] The bailiff said, well, Mr. Kelton, why didn't you tell the judge about the Americans with [01:15:14.480 --> 01:15:15.480] Disabilities Act? [01:15:15.480 --> 01:15:22.480] Heck, if I'd have done that, he might have turned the sound up. [01:15:22.480 --> 01:15:28.000] The bailiff stood there a minute like it took a while to process what I just told him and [01:15:28.000 --> 01:15:34.120] his big grin started across his face and he said, well, you set him up. [01:15:34.120 --> 01:15:35.120] I said, yeah, I did. [01:15:35.120 --> 01:15:38.480] He was a sucker for that one, wasn't he? [01:15:38.480 --> 01:15:43.400] That got around the county in a heartbeat. [01:15:43.400 --> 01:15:48.760] Now when I walk in, the word is that dirty rotten scoundrel, he's trying to get you to [01:15:48.760 --> 01:15:53.520] do something so he can try to get you arrested or take you to the grand sheriff. [01:15:53.520 --> 01:15:56.520] That's right, I am. [01:15:56.520 --> 01:15:58.520] Don't screw with me. [01:15:58.520 --> 01:15:59.920] Just follow the rules. [01:15:59.920 --> 01:16:01.720] You don't have a problem with me. [01:16:01.720 --> 01:16:08.480] I just had a sheriff's deputy tell me that I couldn't see a criminal record unless it [01:16:08.480 --> 01:16:09.480] was my case. [01:16:09.480 --> 01:16:11.480] I said, is that right? [01:16:11.480 --> 01:16:15.880] Oh, yeah, you have to either be a lawyer or you have to be the accused. [01:16:15.880 --> 01:16:17.440] You can't see those records. [01:16:17.440 --> 01:16:20.200] Oh, do you have a supervisor? [01:16:20.200 --> 01:16:22.200] Yes, I do. [01:16:22.200 --> 01:16:23.200] Get him. [01:16:23.200 --> 01:16:24.200] Supervisor comes out. [01:16:24.200 --> 01:16:25.200] What can I do for you? [01:16:25.200 --> 01:16:26.200] I need you to arrest him. [01:16:26.200 --> 01:16:27.200] He stood there and looked at me, what? [01:16:27.200 --> 01:16:28.200] He said, why? [01:16:28.200 --> 01:16:37.200] Well, he told me I couldn't see a criminal record unless I was the accused. [01:16:37.200 --> 01:16:40.800] He said, what's wrong with that? [01:16:40.800 --> 01:16:41.800] It's a lie. [01:16:41.800 --> 01:16:42.800] That's what's wrong with it. [01:16:42.800 --> 01:16:49.480] He denied me the full free access to enjoyment right under 39.03 Beatlecodes Class A misdemeanor. [01:16:49.480 --> 01:16:51.640] I want you to arrest him. [01:16:51.640 --> 01:16:54.520] Oh, that was so much fun. [01:16:54.520 --> 01:17:01.720] Hang on, Randy Kelton, We'll Be Right Back.

[01:18:59.800 --> 01:19:09.200] This is the Logos, the Logos Radio Network. [01:19:09.200 --> 01:19:23.600] Okay, we are back. [01:19:23.600 --> 01:19:28.880] We're in the county rule of law radio and we're talking to Joe in New York and it's [01:19:28.880 --> 01:19:36.280] perfectly all right to have fun at this, but it is really serious. [01:19:36.280 --> 01:19:43.320] We are the masters, they are the servants and we ask the police to police us and we [01:19:43.320 --> 01:19:47.800] owe it to the police to police them. [01:19:47.800 --> 01:19:52.920] And that's why you said you picked this fight, I said you're a man after my own heart because [01:19:52.920 --> 01:19:57.360] those are the best fights to have is the ones you picked. [01:19:57.360 --> 01:20:04.880] And you're the most effective when you pick the fight, but pick them carefully and make [01:20:04.880 --> 01:20:07.280] sure you do your homework first. [01:20:07.280 --> 01:20:13.240] And that's part of our job on this show to try to give people an idea of what they need [01:20:13.240 --> 01:20:20.200] to look for and what the shenanigans these shysters are going to pull will be. [01:20:20.200 --> 01:20:29.640] And like we were talking about earlier, when you sue the tax assessor collector, the county [01:20:29.640 --> 01:20:34.280] attorney is going to represent him. [01:20:34.280 --> 01:20:36.320] That's when it really gets fun. [01:20:36.320 --> 01:20:47.200] When you start bar grieving the tax assessor, you know, the expectation is when you go in [01:20:47.200 --> 01:20:51.920] the door that the judge is going to really get you out of hand at every turn. [01:20:51.920 --> 01:20:57.200] So you start bargaining, you start filing judicial conduct complaints against him. [01:20:57.200 --> 01:21:04.240] You're in New York and as far as I can tell, New York may be the only state that actually [01:21:04.240 --> 01:21:08.160] has a functional judicial conduct commission. [01:21:08.160 --> 01:21:12.840] Yeah, it works real well, I've used it. [01:21:12.840 --> 01:21:25.920] I heard of a case, I had a friend of mine, actually he used to co-host a show with me, [01:21:25.920 --> 01:21:34.240] Chris Cappanella, he filed criminal complaints against the mayor and a sheriff with a magistrate [01:21:34.240 --> 01:21:39.080] and they went in and arrested him. [01:21:39.080 --> 01:21:47.640] The mayor and the sheriff both got a case law about a judge who didn't get a, someone [01:21:47.640 --> 01:21:52.920] who was fighting a case and the judge wouldn't put it on for trial. [01:21:52.920 --> 01:21:56.960] And after a year, the guy filed a judicial conduct complaint and they came in and sanctioned [01:21:56.960 --> 01:22:00.040] the judge for not maintaining his calendar. [01:22:00.040 --> 01:22:06.800] And that was astounding because normally, you know, in Texas you can't get a judge sanctioned [01:22:06.800 --> 01:22:12.960] unless he shoots half a dozen people and then the result will be locked up. [01:22:12.960 --> 01:22:17.160] And here, just for not maintaining his calendar in New York, they sanctioned the judge. [01:22:17.160 --> 01:22:25.720] So your judge is going to be afraid of your judicial conduct commission. [01:22:25.720 --> 01:22:34.240] So great opportunity, you'll also make it so that you won't get any tickets. [01:22:34.240 --> 01:22:39.080] A sheriff's deputy came to me a while back and said, what did you do to the sheriff? [01:22:39.080 --> 01:22:40.640] I said, I hadn't done anything to him lately. [01:22:40.640 --> 01:22:41.640] Why? [01:22:41.640 --> 01:22:45.800] He said, well, we had roll call this morning and he asked who here knew Randy Kelton, about [01:22:45.800 --> 01:22:51.760] half of us raised our hand and he said, look, you are not to stop him. [01:22:51.760 --> 01:22:57.920] You are not to cite him and whatever you do, don't put that SOB in my jail. [01:22:57.920 --> 01:22:58.920] What? [01:22:58.920 --> 01:22:59.920] What? [01:22:59.920 --> 01:23:07.160] They don't send me a Christmas card or anything, but that's what happens. [01:23:07.160 --> 01:23:14.440] They don't want anything to do with you and that they need at least one citizen, preferably [01:23:14.440 --> 01:23:22.600] half a dozen citizens, that they don't want to touch with a 10 foot pole so that the judge [01:23:22.600 --> 01:23:30.260] understands and this is my stated intent for this show. [01:23:30.260 --> 01:23:34.760] If you don't know where you're going, good chance you're going to wind up somewhere else. [01:23:34.760 --> 01:23:38.800] When you go after these guys, you need to sit down and decide for yourself at the end [01:23:38.800 --> 01:23:46.480] of the day, what will be an equitable outcome for me so that I know when I've won. [01:23:46.480 --> 01:23:53.240] For me, my purpose is to put every judge in the country in a position such that when they [01:23:53.240 --> 01:23:59.480] step up behind the bar, I'm sorry, they step up behind the bench and look out across the [01:23:59.480 --> 01:24:04.920] bar at the gallery, I want them wondering which one, which one of those scoundrels sitting [01:24:04.920 --> 01:24:10.360] out there waiting for me to do something so he can run down to the grand jury and try [01:24:10.360 --> 01:24:18.320] to get me indicted or go to the conduct commission trying to get me thrown off the bench. [01:24:18.320 --> 01:24:22.240] When they're thinking that, they're going to be careful. [01:24:22.240 --> 01:24:27.800] I don't want the judge just looking at the defendant and the plaintiff, I want him looking [01:24:27.800 --> 01:24:35.760] out at the gallery and when you come in and start setting them up and bushwhacking them, [01:24:35.760 --> 01:24:38.840] that's when they start watching the gallery. [01:24:38.840 --> 01:24:46.200] When I go into a court now in Dallas or Fort Worth, they know immediately, a friend of [01:24:46.200 --> 01:24:53.320] mine called me, a guy he knew went into court in South Lake, Texas, little municipality [01:24:53.320 --> 01:24:58.960] is halfway between Dallas and Fort Worth, with a turban on, he was Indian and they asked [01:24:58.960 --> 01:25:01.880] him to take it off and he said he couldn't, it was a religious thing, so they threw him [01:25:01.880 --> 01:25:02.880] out of the court. [01:25:02.880 --> 01:25:09.040] Said the bailiff come out and ask him, are you Randy Kelton? [01:25:09.040 --> 01:25:13.480] And he was telling David this and he said, what were they talking about, who is Randy [01:25:13.480 --> 01:25:14.480] Kelton? [01:25:14.480 --> 01:25:19.840] And David said, oh yeah, I know who Randy Kelton is. [01:25:19.840 --> 01:25:27.880] I've never been into South Lake's court, but they knew about me, somebody has given them [01:25:27.880 --> 01:25:30.680] a hard time and they just assumed it was me. [01:25:30.680 --> 01:25:37.640] So it is really powerful when you take these guys on and you do it with their own law. [01:25:37.640 --> 01:25:42.240] So I could not be more pleased with you, Joseph. [01:25:42.240 --> 01:25:48.720] And it looks like she got a real good shot at him, primary thing, do your homework. [01:25:48.720 --> 01:25:57.280] Oh yo, I've been, I've been doing my homework on this for a little over a year now and I've [01:25:57.280 --> 01:26:01.480] gotten involved in some vehicle traffic law cases and I've done real well with those for [01:26:01.480 --> 01:26:03.080] some friends of mine. [01:26:03.080 --> 01:26:11.240] And that's where I got involved with the bar grievances and the judicial conduct complaints [01:26:11.240 --> 01:26:16.720] and boy, does that ever get a case dropped quick. [01:26:16.720 --> 01:26:22.960] Okay, that shouldn't be as much fun as it is, you ought to be ashamed of yourself for [01:26:22.960 --> 01:26:24.880] enjoying that so much. [01:26:24.880 --> 01:26:28.520] I know, I'm terribly ashamed of myself. [01:26:28.520 --> 01:26:36.600] Yeah, I just thought all the time, I had a case, a friend of mine was driving a taxi [01:26:36.600 --> 01:26:41.320] and this cop gave him a ride on Reddit at midnight, you know, when the sign clearly [01:26:41.320 --> 01:26:45.600] says between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. [01:26:45.600 --> 01:26:53.480] So you know, I wrote up a little brief, you know, attacking what the cop did and demanded [01:26:53.480 --> 01:26:58.960] that he be arrested and everything, I brought it to court and you know, I was defending [01:26:58.960 --> 01:27:05.280] my friend and the judge and I got in a big fight about, you know, my right to defend [01:27:05.280 --> 01:27:09.440] my friend, we got in a screaming match, he kept telling me he was going to arrest me [01:27:09.440 --> 01:27:15.920] and I kept telling him, well here I am, go for it and the prosecutor comes running down [01:27:15.920 --> 01:27:23.840] the aisle yelling to dismiss the case, I'd given the prosecutor all of my paperwork, [01:27:23.840 --> 01:27:29.440] you know, prior to sitting down, you know, so he had a chance to look it over and you [01:27:29.440 --> 01:27:37.120] know, he got the judge to dismiss it and the strangest thing, he patted me on the back [01:27:37.120 --> 01:27:42.800] and he shook my hand, he told me I'd done a wonderful job defending my friend, the judge [01:27:42.800 --> 01:27:48.200] had some kind of emotional meltdown, he had to leave the bench and then he quit the bench, [01:27:48.200 --> 01:27:51.960] he quit the bench and the cop got fired. [01:27:51.960 --> 01:27:52.960] Oh wonderful. [01:27:52.960 --> 01:27:59.280] I never even got to litigate the case, I never got to say a thing. [01:27:59.280 --> 01:28:07.640] I had a problem in Azalea, Texas over a speeding issue and the judge said, is the prosecution [01:28:07.640 --> 01:28:12.760] ready and the prosecutor said, no your honor, the prosecution is not ready, he's dismissed [01:28:12.760 --> 01:28:13.760] I object. [01:28:13.760 --> 01:28:19.880] Mr. Calford, you can't object to me dismissing the case, so we sure can't judge, we were [01:28:19.880 --> 01:28:27.240] just about to get to the fun part, get out of my court. [01:28:27.240 --> 01:28:37.280] If we get more people like you, we will start having fair and proper courts, I know people [01:28:37.280 --> 01:28:48.000] complain about our public officials but frankly, it's not their fault, it's our fault. [01:28:48.000 --> 01:28:57.440] We haven't held them to a fine line on rule of law, to quote Romeo and Juliet, we have [01:28:57.440 --> 01:29:05.160] winked at their discords, the first time they stepped across one of our legal lines we didn't [01:29:05.160 --> 01:29:12.840] rail in righteous indignation, so through a series of seemingly minor adjustments toward [01:29:12.840 --> 01:29:18.520] administrative convenience and adjudicative expediency, they have gotten so far outside [01:29:18.520 --> 01:29:26.360] the rule of law that when you read the code and compare it to the practice, you'll think [01:29:26.360 --> 01:29:32.040] you've stepped through the looking glass, you'll wonder how can it be so messed up and [01:29:32.040 --> 01:29:39.760] it got this messed up because we were not diligent, so thank you Joseph for being diligent, [01:29:39.760 --> 01:29:42.000] do you have anything else for us? [01:29:42.000 --> 01:29:43.000] Not today. [01:29:43.000 --> 01:29:52.400] Okay, I'm having too much fun talking with you, okay, keep it up Joseph and keep us appraised [01:29:52.400 --> 01:30:01.280] of how this goes, we're ready to count on rule of law radio, we'll be right back. [01:30:01.280 --> 01:30:03.360] Are you having guilty thoughts? [01:30:03.360 --> 01:30:07.840] They could land you in jail, neuro forensic brain scans are being used to prove guilt [01:30:07.840 --> 01:30:12.400] in India and they could be coming to a courtroom near you, I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht and [01:30:12.400 --> 01:30:14.600] I'll tell you more in just a moment.

[01:33:42.000 --> 01:33:48.600] Randy Kelton with Logos Radio and we're going to Chris in Pennsylvania, hello Chris. [01:33:48.600 --> 01:33:50.560] Hello Randy. [01:33:50.560 --> 01:33:55.360] So how's it going with your foreclosure issue? [01:33:55.360 --> 01:34:01.960] For those of you who don't know Chris, he filed bankruptcy, claimed the property is [01:34:01.960 --> 01:34:13.480] unsecured, the bankruptcy court, what do you call it, discharged, I keep losing that term, [01:34:13.480 --> 01:34:18.440] discharged the debt and now the lender is coming back trying to sue for foreclosure [01:34:18.440 --> 01:34:21.120] based on the deed of trust. [01:34:21.120 --> 01:34:25.560] So where are we with that case? [01:34:25.560 --> 01:34:33.440] Well we spoke last about the fact that they put in a summary judgment and our attorney [01:34:33.440 --> 01:34:39.800] countered with a response that the bank actually didn't take the assignment of the mortgage, [01:34:39.800 --> 01:34:43.860] they took, since we built the home, they took an assignment of the construction loan which [01:34:43.860 --> 01:34:47.200] was paid off. [01:34:47.200 --> 01:34:54.920] So in essence they took no assignment of the mortgage and now the judge is giving the bank [01:34:54.920 --> 01:35:03.280] the opportunity to make a statement as to why we're not entitled to relief based on [01:35:03.280 --> 01:35:06.280] that. [01:35:06.280 --> 01:35:16.240] I think the legal terminology for that is that was an oops, they should have paid more [01:35:16.240 --> 01:35:23.840] attention, this is, you know people listening to this they think that is really an odd thing [01:35:23.840 --> 01:35:30.640] that they would make that kind of mistake, well it may be odd but it's not uncommon. [01:35:30.640 --> 01:35:37.880] If you go to the county recorder and you look at what's in the public record you will not [01:35:37.880 --> 01:35:42.440] believe the garbage you find in there. [01:35:42.440 --> 01:35:48.480] You would think that when the bank invests two, three, four hundred thousand into a property [01:35:48.480 --> 01:35:55.040] that they would take at least some minor care with the two or three documents that need [01:35:55.040 --> 01:35:58.760] to be filed in the record to make sure they're done right. [01:35:58.760 --> 01:36:05.160] The records are a horrible mess like in your case Chris. [01:36:05.160 --> 01:36:11.400] Well that's what we were hoping the judge would take a look at that the assignment which [01:36:11.400 --> 01:36:22.840] came from a known robo signer who's a loan officer for Wells Fargo who assigned the assignment [01:36:22.840 --> 01:36:29.800] document stating she was a resident of my home would have looked at the document before [01:36:29.800 --> 01:36:37.560] she signed it to determine that the actual docket number of the mortgage was what was [01:36:37.560 --> 01:36:39.640] being assigned. [01:36:39.640 --> 01:36:44.200] So we're hoping that the judge can kind of grasp the fact that none of these people had [01:36:44.200 --> 01:36:52.480] personal knowledge of this loan but my point is if a couple of weeks ago you were talking [01:36:52.480 --> 01:37:00.480] with Mark in New York I believe and you were mentioning about the FDCPA and the actual [01:37:00.480 --> 01:37:10.880] ability for a servicer or credit or debt collector to take an assignment of mortgage while in [01:37:10.880 --> 01:37:23.960] default in order to render payment through foreclosure. [01:37:23.960 --> 01:37:30.840] Is that what I got from that conversation? [01:37:30.840 --> 01:37:34.480] Uh oh did I lose you? [01:37:34.480 --> 01:37:43.540] Oops there you go yes okay yes they have they can do that they can make that assignment. [01:37:43.540 --> 01:37:51.360] They have servicers that specialize in foreclosure so generally when a note gets slow pay the [01:37:51.360 --> 01:37:57.600] first way you can tell by paying attention to the public record is you'll find an assignment [01:37:57.600 --> 01:38:04.960] because they'll assign it to this servicer that specializes in foreclosure. [01:38:04.960 --> 01:38:20.320] Well if a servicer receives the assignment after a notice of acceleration has been filed [01:38:20.320 --> 01:38:29.880] then that servicer cannot claim that he's acting to recover the collateral for the bank. [01:38:29.880 --> 01:38:33.920] He is a debt collector. [01:38:33.920 --> 01:38:41.520] If he receives the assignment before there's any foreclosure proceedings he can claim that [01:38:41.520 --> 01:38:50.240] he's recovering property the collateral for the bank and he doesn't fall under the FDCPA. [01:38:50.240 --> 01:38:57.680] So once if they get it while it's in after notice of acceleration starts the foreclosure [01:38:57.680 --> 01:39:08.400] process so if he receives it after the foreclosure process is initiated he falls under. [01:39:08.400 --> 01:39:09.400] That makes sense? [01:39:09.400 --> 01:39:15.520] Right it does and that's what they did in this case they actually took the assignment [01:39:15.520 --> 01:39:23.960] while we were in bankruptcy after they gave us the Act 61 notice and accelerated the payment [01:39:23.960 --> 01:39:32.200] which is my question is if the judge were to sit and say that since they assigned themselves [01:39:32.200 --> 01:39:41.400] from a bank that's been closed since 2008 a mortgage and they assigned themselves the [01:39:41.400 --> 01:39:48.440] wrong document is he going to allow them to correct the document or does it become a matter [01:39:48.440 --> 01:39:49.440] of. [01:39:49.440 --> 01:40:05.560] Oh that means that the plaintiff okay let me back up a step is there a action by the [01:40:05.560 --> 01:40:13.120] plaintiff I mean are you the plaintiff in the case set bar or is the debt collector [01:40:13.120 --> 01:40:15.120] the plaintiff? [01:40:15.120 --> 01:40:17.200] The debt collector is the plaintiff. [01:40:17.200 --> 01:40:28.080] Good if the debt collector did not have standing or legal capacity when the action was initiated [01:40:28.080 --> 01:40:36.640] then once it's determined that he didn't have standing the case must be dismissed [01:40:36.640 --> 01:40:42.960] because the court never had subject matter jurisdiction from the beginning and that cannot [01:40:42.960 --> 01:40:49.640] ever be corrected they'd have to start all over again okay so they would have to start [01:40:49.640 --> 01:40:57.920] over with an Act 6 notice start the whole foreclosure process over yes and how is the [01:40:57.920 --> 01:41:02.800] statute of limitations on this one running? [01:41:02.800 --> 01:41:08.120] Well we're I think it's what six years? [01:41:08.120 --> 01:41:17.120] Look at a part of the when you file bankruptcy and an automatic stay went into place that [01:41:17.120 --> 01:41:25.000] will toll the limitation so that has to be taken out it the time they weren't allowed [01:41:25.000 --> 01:41:35.560] to foreclose doesn't count okay so they need 16 years outside the automatic stay okay well [01:41:35.560 --> 01:41:41.600] we're running up that that happens in about six months okay then you want to they okay [01:41:41.600 --> 01:41:46.840] if the judge throws them out of court they're absolutely going to appeal and they'll get [01:41:46.840 --> 01:41:58.920] you past that time limit okay wonderful wonderful so that gives them one more whatever happened [01:41:58.920 --> 01:42:08.240] to the admonition against collecting a debt after it's been discharged? [01:42:08.240 --> 01:42:13.280] I'm not sure what happened with that they seem to be avoiding that issue I think for [01:42:13.280 --> 01:42:21.280] some reason the judge happens to just be avoiding the whole bankruptcy issue that were that [01:42:21.280 --> 01:42:30.280] happened okay then maybe I can answer my own question you are addressing whether or not [01:42:30.280 --> 01:42:36.240] the assignment to this party was proper that goes to subject manager jurisdiction and standing [01:42:36.240 --> 01:42:43.840] and that must be addressed before anything else if they if you if it gets ruled in their [01:42:43.840 --> 01:42:49.880] favor and say that says yeah they do have standing to invoke the subject manager jurisdiction [01:42:49.880 --> 01:42:57.000] in the court now your lawyer now the issue of the prohibition will come into play and [01:42:57.000 --> 01:43:05.000] that that may be why that thing if it's in the court it's still in play right yeah because [01:43:05.000 --> 01:43:13.560] these guys really work at not proving standing that's the only they can't so they may use [01:43:13.560 --> 01:43:21.760] up their own time you're getting in a good position here even if the courts rule against [01:43:21.760 --> 01:43:26.600] them now they're going to not going to get it done through the court of appeals before [01:43:26.600 --> 01:43:33.680] their time limit runs out right I'm hoping that that's what happens I mean if the judge [01:43:33.680 --> 01:43:38.520] allows them to correct a note is that something he's not going to just say okay how can we [01:43:38.520 --> 01:43:46.040] get another correction if the bank that they got the assignment front is no longer yeah [01:43:46.040 --> 01:43:49.960] that's going to be an issue hang on about to go to break Randy Kelton rule our radio [01:43:49.960 --> 01:44:02.220] a call in number 512-646-1984 we'll be right back you feel tired when talking about important [01:44:02.220 --> 01:44:07.120] topics like money and politics are you confused by words like the Constitution or the Federal [01:44:07.120 --> 01:44:12.920] Reserve what if so you may be diagnosed with the deadliest disease known today stupidity [01:44:12.920 --> 01:44:18.040] hi my name is Steve Holt and like millions of other Americans I was diagnosed with stupidity [01:44:18.040 --> 01:44:22.760] at an early age I had no idea that the number one cause of the disease is found in almost [01:44:22.760 --> 01:44:28.160] every home in America the television unfortunately that puts most Americans at risk of catching [01:44:28.160 --> 01:44:32.760] stupidity but there is hope the staff at brave new books have helped me and thousands of [01:44:32.760 --> 01:44:37.520] other foxaholics suffering from sports zombie ism recover and because of brave new books [01:44:37.520 --> 01:44:43.120] I now enjoy reading and watching educational documentaries without feeling tired or uninterested [01:44:43.120 --> 01:44:50.680] so if you or anybody you know suffers from stupidity then you need to call 512-480-2503 [01:44:50.680 --> 01:44:55.640] or visit them in 1904 Guadalupe or brave new bookstore calm side effects when using brave [01:44:55.640 --> 01:44:59.040] new books products may include discernment and enlarged vocabulary and an overall increase [01:44:59.040 --> 01:45:05.360] in mental functioning are you the plaintiff or defendant in a lawsuit win your case without [01:45:05.360 --> 01:45:11.520] an attorney with jurisdictionary the affordable easy to understand for CD course that will [01:45:11.520 --> 01:45:18.440] show you how in 24 hours step by step if you have a lawyer know what your lawyer should [01:45:18.440 --> 01:45:23.960] be doing if you don't have a lawyer know what you should do for yourself thousands have [01:45:23.960 --> 01:45:30.480] won with our step by step course and now you can to jurisdictionary was created by a licensed [01:45:30.480 --> 01:45:37.200] attorney with 22 years of case winning experience even if you're not in a lawsuit you can learn [01:45:37.200 --> 01:45:42.120] what everyone should understand about the principles and practices that control our [01:45:42.120 --> 01:45:48.520] American courts you'll receive our audio classroom video seminar tutorials forms for [01:45:48.520 --> 01:45:55.880] civil cases pro se tactics and much more please visit ruleoflawradio.com and click on the [01:45:55.880 --> 01:46:20.480] banner or call toll free 866-LAW-EASY. [01:46:26.880 --> 01:46:35.320] Okay we are back Randy Kelton rule of law radio and we're talking to Chris in Pennsylvania. [01:46:35.320 --> 01:46:42.240] Okay Chris it looks like you're in a good spot and it looks like the court is actually [01:46:42.240 --> 01:46:50.360] paying attention to law he's not just blowing things off this request that they show why [01:46:50.360 --> 01:46:57.240] you the case shouldn't be dismissed is that's pretty big deal and they're going to have [01:46:57.240 --> 01:47:04.440] a hard time getting over that right I'm hoping that when it comes down to it the judge also [01:47:04.440 --> 01:47:08.600] looks at the fact that you know the the first assignment should have never happened because [01:47:08.600 --> 01:47:14.240] they took the assignment from Wachovia who is out of business using MERS as their nominee [01:47:14.240 --> 01:47:20.320] and MERS can't be a nominee for someone who's not in business so okay do you have [01:47:20.320 --> 01:47:28.880] that argument before the court we do oh wonderful there's one more argument that it came to [01:47:28.880 --> 01:47:39.960] me just a couple of weeks ago I was working up and a FDCPA action and it I referenced [01:47:39.960 --> 01:47:54.840] 15 USC 1692 E so this doesn't sound so complex FDCPA is 15 US code 1692 it's that one statute [01:47:54.840 --> 01:48:03.320] and you got A, B, C, D, E, F, G and so forth so we do reference G and that's the one that [01:48:03.320 --> 01:48:10.520] allows you to send a qualified written request but B, E is the one that requires that all [01:48:10.520 --> 01:48:34.480] notices be I forget exactly the terminology has to be clear and understandable and the quality of the communication is measured [01:48:34.480 --> 01:48:45.160] by the standard of the lease a least sophisticated consumer so I'm I was just going through that [01:48:45.160 --> 01:48:49.440] and then I went back and looked at a section I was looking to see if this particular mortgage [01:48:49.440 --> 01:48:56.880] had MERS listed in it and I see that there's MERS is defined as the beneficiary and I said [01:48:56.880 --> 01:49:07.720] wait a minute if I'm a lease sophisticated consumer and I read this contract that the [01:49:07.720 --> 01:49:18.920] lender brought to me this contract defines some MERS as the beneficiary so from a lease [01:49:18.920 --> 01:49:28.200] sophisticated consumer perspective it appears to me that the lender at closing caused the [01:49:28.200 --> 01:49:36.800] beneficial interest in the instrument to be transferred to MERS because they the lender [01:49:36.800 --> 01:49:45.120] defined MERS as the beneficiary or named him as the beneficiary and now later on in [01:49:45.120 --> 01:49:52.000] the contract it says in the second paragraph of the contract itself the first page and [01:49:52.000 --> 01:49:59.080] after two pages or so our definition section the first paragraph of the contract is the [01:49:59.080 --> 01:50:10.840] transfer of the property and that if it's a mortgage state it's okay is Pennsylvania [01:50:10.840 --> 01:50:19.600] a mortgage state or deed of trust state Chris mortgage state okay then the second part wouldn't [01:50:19.600 --> 01:50:26.680] matter because the second part says that the first paragraph in a deed of trust transfers [01:50:26.680 --> 01:50:33.480] the property to the trustee in a mortgage it will transfer the property to the borrower [01:50:33.480 --> 01:50:40.840] so that won't in Pennsylvania that argument second part of the argument won't matter I [01:50:40.840 --> 01:50:45.680] know I'm confusing everybody so let me explain a deed of trust first and then I'll do a mortgage [01:50:45.680 --> 01:50:54.920] the deed of trust says MERS is the beneficiary then the property is transferred to the trustee [01:50:54.920 --> 01:51:00.960] to hold in trust that would be legal title so beneficial title in the definition section [01:51:00.960 --> 01:51:08.680] was transferred to MERS legal title is transferred to the trustee the very next paragraph starts [01:51:08.680 --> 01:51:16.440] with together with and together with all improvements it includes with the property as collateral [01:51:16.440 --> 01:51:22.320] any improvements to the property right in the middle of that paragraph as they stuck [01:51:22.320 --> 01:51:28.240] this sentence in there that says you understand MERS is not the beneficiary but merely holds [01:51:28.240 --> 01:51:40.240] legal title now okay so they hold legal title but how can they now they're not the beneficiary [01:51:40.240 --> 01:51:45.840] so either they are the beneficiary or they're not the beneficiary I'm a least sophisticated [01:51:45.840 --> 01:51:51.480] consumer I don't know what to make of that I don't know who the beneficiary is it appears [01:51:51.480 --> 01:52:00.440] as though MERS is the beneficiary because they transferred it to it so when MERS subsequently [01:52:00.440 --> 01:52:11.920] transfers beneficial interest from the lender to someone else I'm going to say MERS transferred [01:52:11.920 --> 01:52:19.440] the interest that the lender held to this other party but the interest that the lender [01:52:19.440 --> 01:52:25.280] held was nothing because MERS held the beneficial interest not the lender according to my contract [01:52:25.280 --> 01:52:30.800] and if they're going to say oh well that's not really the case then I'm going to say [01:52:30.800 --> 01:52:39.200] then your contract is too ambiguous to be enforceable I'm not the one to put that crazy [01:52:39.200 --> 01:52:49.680] language in there you guys were in a mortgage contract in a Fannie Mae Freddie Mac uniform [01:52:49.680 --> 01:52:57.960] instrument with MERS even a mortgage contract has that same language in there the difference [01:52:57.960 --> 01:53:05.880] between a deed of trust and a mortgage is the property is not transferred to a trustee [01:53:05.880 --> 01:53:14.480] the trustee section is not there it's transferred to the lender and where MERS is named in the [01:53:14.480 --> 01:53:21.120] contract is transferred to MERS and not the lender mortgage is a little different I probably [01:53:21.120 --> 01:53:27.200] shouldn't have brought that up but it is a good argument to maintain that MERS held [01:53:27.200 --> 01:53:34.840] the beneficial interest so they didn't transfer the beneficial interest that MERS held they [01:53:34.840 --> 01:53:39.720] transferred the beneficial interest that the lender held which was no beneficial interest [01:53:39.720 --> 01:53:42.040] does that make sense Chris? [01:53:42.040 --> 01:53:49.280] That makes sense that makes sense if MERS is leaving an active nominee because the bank [01:53:49.280 --> 01:53:53.960] has been closed that's the part we didn't understand with the first assignment that [01:53:53.960 --> 01:54:01.880] even if you look at it it's a fallacy of relevance because there is no there's no nominee status [01:54:01.880 --> 01:54:08.960] to a bank that's closed and if you look at MERS mentorship online it even shows the banks [01:54:08.960 --> 01:54:16.480] who are members of MERS and Wachovia is not one of them and hasn't been since 2009 and [01:54:16.480 --> 01:54:25.920] you might consider complex equivalent have you heard me address that before? [01:54:25.920 --> 01:54:35.200] Nominee is a complex equivalence in that nominee has a meaning when you hear the word nominee [01:54:35.200 --> 01:54:45.160] you think of the Webster definition or you think of the Black's law definition they happen [01:54:45.160 --> 01:54:54.520] to be the same and how they define a nominee is someone who has been named for consideration [01:54:54.520 --> 01:55:05.640] to a position but the way nominee is used in the deed of trust clearly that definition [01:55:05.640 --> 01:55:13.320] doesn't apply because it would mean nothing you would state in the definition section [01:55:13.320 --> 01:55:21.400] that MERS has been nominated to be an agent for the lender but it doesn't name MERS as [01:55:21.400 --> 01:55:30.440] an agent for the lender but on reading the contract it appears that the lender who created [01:55:30.440 --> 01:55:37.360] that contract intended that MERS actually be an agent but they didn't call him an agent [01:55:37.360 --> 01:55:46.720] they called him a nominee so that term is it comes turns out to be a complex equivalent [01:55:46.720 --> 01:55:53.520] in that you have one meaning for the term and I'll have a meaning for the term and our [01:55:53.520 --> 01:55:59.680] meanings would be the same Webster's or Black's but the bank has a different meaning for the [01:55:59.680 --> 01:56:06.400] term and they didn't define that meaning so we have two different meanings for the same [01:56:06.400 --> 01:56:14.160] term that's a complex equivalent and it renders the document ambiguous to the point of being [01:56:14.160 --> 01:56:27.200] unenforceable I don't know who wrote that contract but they had to be high on coke only [01:56:27.200 --> 01:56:34.280] a lawyer could have written something that stupid and he had to be high on coke to get [01:56:34.280 --> 01:56:48.200] it quite that stupid it took me several years to allow myself to say this is crazy because [01:56:48.200 --> 01:56:53.600] if you go look on Fannie Mae Freddie Mac's website you've got a list of all of these [01:56:53.600 --> 01:57:03.880] documents every state is using this form 50 states are all using this form so I read it [01:57:03.880 --> 01:57:12.720] and it doesn't make sense to me and I'm thinking I must have missed something but it took three [01:57:12.720 --> 01:57:19.520] or four years of research to realize I didn't miss anything this deed of trust and mortgage [01:57:19.520 --> 01:57:26.080] Fannie Mae Freddie Mac uniformed instrument is nonsense the 10th grader wouldn't have [01:57:26.080 --> 01:57:33.960] made these stupid mistakes there's nobody that can enforce this trash anyway enough [01:57:33.960 --> 01:57:39.360] of my ranting about that just a couple more arguments you could certainly make but Chris [01:57:39.360 --> 01:57:46.880] I don't think you're going to need them it certainly sounds like this judge grasp you [01:57:46.880 --> 01:57:57.160] know this is a real easy concept to grasp you have a claim under a mortgage that's under [01:57:57.160 --> 01:58:07.040] a loan that's been paid off good luck with that right okay do you have anything else [01:58:07.040 --> 01:58:13.320] for us no that was my question you think if it comes down to the point where the judge [01:58:13.320 --> 01:58:19.240] allows the bank to render another mortgage and go through the foreclosure process again [01:58:19.240 --> 01:58:28.720] is it something that the FTCPA would benefit me making that argument up front because they're [01:58:28.720 --> 01:58:34.080] obviously a debt collector and now they're attempting you know okay okay hang on we're [01:58:34.080 --> 01:58:38.880] about to go to break we'll finish this up on the other side mark I see you there we [01:58:38.880
