[00:41.440 --> 00:52.600]  Today in history, the year 1916, the Preparedness Day bombing, a time suitcase bomb, was detonated on
[00:52.600 --> 00:58.360]  Market Street in San Francisco during the World War I Preparedness Day Parade, killing 10 and
[00:58.360 --> 01:07.480]  entering 40. Today in history, and recent news, since Governor Greg Abbott signed House Bill
[01:07.480 --> 01:13.200]  1325 legalizing hemp into taxes law back in June, county prosecutors around the state including
[01:13.200 --> 01:17.920]  Houston, Austin, San Antonio have been dropping marijuana possession charges and even refusing
[01:17.920 --> 01:22.360]  to file new ones since they are stipulating that they do not have the time or the laboratory
[01:22.360 --> 01:27.240]  equipment to test the herb for THC. Margaret Moore, the Travis County District Attorney
[01:27.240 --> 01:31.280]  announced earlier this month that she was dismissing 32 felony possession and delivery
[01:31.280 --> 01:35.960]  of marijuana cases because of the law. Mr. Abbott and other state officials including
[01:35.960 --> 01:39.920]  the Attorney General stipulated in a letter to county district attorneys back on Thursday
[01:39.920 --> 01:44.560]  that marijuana has not been decriminalized in Texas and that these actions demonstrate
[01:44.560 --> 01:50.480]  a misunderstanding of how HB 1325 works, as well as other cities too like the district
[01:50.480 --> 01:56.680]  attorney in El Paso, Cayma Esparza, a Democrat who also stated earlier this month that the
[01:56.680 --> 02:02.600]  law quote will not have an effect on the prosecution of marijuana cases in El Paso. However, the
[02:02.600 --> 02:07.240]  issue was succinctly summarized by Mr. Brandon Ball, an assistant public defender in Harris
[02:07.240 --> 02:12.040]  County who stated that quote, the law is constantly changing on what makes something illegal based
[02:12.040 --> 02:16.200]  on its chemical makeup. It's important that if someone is charged with something, the
[02:16.200 --> 02:25.120]  test matches what they're charged with. A paper by Tulane University identified a five
[02:25.120 --> 02:30.240]  and a half inch American pocket shark. As the first of its kind in the Gulf of Mexico,
[02:30.240 --> 02:35.400]  the specimen being only the second pocket shark ever captured or recorded with the other
[02:35.400 --> 02:40.160]  one being found way back in 1979 in the East Pacific Ocean. According to the university
[02:40.160 --> 02:46.320]  paper, the shark secretes a luminous fluid from a gland near its front fins for the purpose
[02:46.320 --> 02:57.280]  it is hypothesized to lure and prey, who may be drawn into the glow. This is Ruff Rody
[02:57.280 --> 03:09.280]  with your lowdown for July 22, 2019.
[03:09.280 --> 03:16.280]  What do you want? What do you want? What are you going to do? When every sunroof comes
[03:16.280 --> 03:29.280]  for you? Tell me, what are you going to do? What are you going to do? Bad boys, bad boys,
[03:29.280 --> 03:34.280]  what are you going to do? What are you going to do when they come for you? Bad boys, bad
[03:34.280 --> 03:45.280]  boys, what are you going to do? Bad boys, bad boys, what are you going to do? Bad boys,
[03:45.280 --> 03:48.960]  Like a bloody fool, It's decrease in you monsters and vocês
[03:48.960 --> 03:51.060]  Bad boys! Bad boys!
[03:51.060 --> 03:53.540]  What you gonna do? Oh, what you gonna do
[03:53.540 --> 03:56.380]  When they come for you? Bad boys, bad boys
[03:56.380 --> 03:58.900]  What you gonna do? Oh, what you gonna do
[03:58.900 --> 04:00.260]  When they come for you?
[04:00.260 --> 04:03.140]  You look at that one, You look at that one
[04:03.140 --> 04:05.940]  You look at that one, You look at that one
[04:05.940 --> 04:08.700]  You look at that one, You look at that one
[04:08.700 --> 04:11.320]  You look at that one, You look at that one
[04:11.320 --> 04:13.020]  Bad boys! Bad boys!
[04:13.020 --> 04:18.020]  what you gonna do, what you gonna do when they come for you. Bad boys, bad boys.
[04:18.020 --> 04:24.020]  What you gonna do, what you gonna do when they come for you. Bad boys, bad boys.
[04:24.020 --> 04:27.020]  What you gonna do, what you gonna do when they come for you.
[04:27.020 --> 04:33.020]  Okay, Howdy Howdy, Randy Kelton, Brett Fountain, and Debra Stevens,
[04:33.020 --> 04:43.020]  and we'll have our radio on this the 10th day of November 2020, 9, 10, 2020.
[04:43.020 --> 04:48.020]  And I'm turning the phones on, keep the phone lines on all night.
[04:48.020 --> 04:56.020]  They call in number 512-646-1984. If you have a comment or a question, give us a call.
[04:56.020 --> 05:04.020]  And I'm gonna start out talking about a project that I'm working on for this Covoid thing.
[05:04.020 --> 05:15.020]  Covoid was a problem, and it seems to be abating, but there's something far more serious on its heels
[05:15.020 --> 05:22.020]  that is not abating quite as quickly as the Covoid issue appears to be.
[05:22.020 --> 05:29.020]  And that is where our public officials, acting in the best of faith,
[05:29.020 --> 05:38.020]  and in the interest of all the public, have issued certain executive orders,
[05:38.020 --> 05:46.020]  some at the county level, mostly at the state level, that were far on good.
[05:46.020 --> 05:53.020]  Problem, when the governor of the state of Texas took office,
[05:53.020 --> 06:00.020]  he was required to enter into a contract with the people of the state of Texas,
[06:00.020 --> 06:11.020]  and that contract only required him to swear on his oath that he would do one thing,
[06:11.020 --> 06:16.020]  that he would uphold the Constitution of the United States.
[06:16.020 --> 06:21.020]  He would uphold and protect the Constitution of the United States and the state of Texas.
[06:21.020 --> 06:27.020]  That was it. That was the one thing he was required to do.
[06:27.020 --> 06:33.020]  And then a problem comes along, a crisis occurs,
[06:33.020 --> 06:39.020]  and he's trying to protect all his constituents.
[06:39.020 --> 06:49.020]  So he issues these orders, and he issued the orders under an emergency procedures act
[06:49.020 --> 06:55.020]  that granted him some extraordinary powers in an emergency.
[06:55.020 --> 06:59.020]  These were granted by the legislature.
[06:59.020 --> 07:06.020]  Problem, he exercised powers that were not granted by the legislature,
[07:06.020 --> 07:11.020]  and they were not granted by the legislature because the legislature had no power
[07:11.020 --> 07:17.020]  to grant those powers and authorities and the primary powers I'm speaking to
[07:17.020 --> 07:25.020]  is the power in an emergency to breach the Constitution.
[07:25.020 --> 07:28.020]  It's not in anywhere.
[07:28.020 --> 07:34.020]  He swore on his oath he would not do that, that he would uphold the Constitution.
[07:34.020 --> 07:40.020]  And then a crisis comes along and he flushes the Constitution down the toilet
[07:40.020 --> 07:50.020]  and does whatever he in his infinite wisdom believes is correct and proved under the circumstances.
[07:50.020 --> 08:00.020]  Well, our founders went to great trouble to ensure that leaders,
[08:00.020 --> 08:10.020]  people in positions of power and authority would not use a crisis to increase their power.
[08:10.020 --> 08:15.020]  They were very clear about that. So what's the remedy?
[08:15.020 --> 08:20.020]  I've got the spreadsheet with about 700 lawsuits from around the country
[08:20.020 --> 08:31.020]  mostly against governors for filing these executive orders that exceeded their authority.
[08:31.020 --> 08:36.020]  And almost all of them ask for an injunction.
[08:36.020 --> 08:41.020]  Well, what the heck good is that going to do?
[08:41.020 --> 08:51.020]  Getting an injunction to prevent the enforcement of these draconian orders.
[08:51.020 --> 08:53.020]  We're so far beyond that.
[08:53.020 --> 08:56.020]  Yeah, I mean, it's much larger.
[08:56.020 --> 08:58.020]  No, that's not the issue.
[08:58.020 --> 09:07.020]  But how long does it usually take to get a suit through the civil courts?
[09:07.020 --> 09:09.020]  How long does it take?
[09:09.020 --> 09:12.020]  Exactly.
[09:12.020 --> 09:24.020]  So even if they get to the point where they get a ruling on their injunction, it'll be moot.
[09:24.020 --> 09:29.020]  Before we get through the first couple rounds of motions, it'll be moot.
[09:29.020 --> 09:31.020]  So what's the point?
[09:31.020 --> 09:38.020]  And if it's about closing down this guy's business in five years, he won't have a business.
[09:38.020 --> 09:40.020]  So it'll be moot won't make any difference.
[09:40.020 --> 09:42.020]  So what's the remedy?
[09:42.020 --> 09:44.020]  Half of a year has ruined so many businesses.
[09:44.020 --> 09:48.020]  Yeah, so these injunctions are worthless.
[09:48.020 --> 09:53.020]  What I say is let's go for his throat.
[09:53.020 --> 10:04.020]  The governor himself, the governor took it upon himself to exceed the authority granted by the legislature
[10:04.020 --> 10:10.020]  and took it upon himself to breach the federal constitution.
[10:10.020 --> 10:15.020]  And in so doing, he did not act within the scope of his authority.
[10:15.020 --> 10:23.020]  He acted beyond the scope of his authority and perpetrated an abuse of his discretion.
[10:23.020 --> 10:34.020]  And in the process, denied citizens for free access to the enjoyment of rights they had guaranteed by the state and federal constitution.
[10:34.020 --> 10:37.020]  That's crime in the state of Texas.
[10:37.020 --> 10:42.020]  It's called official oppression.
[10:42.020 --> 10:45.020]  Texas is the only state that calls it that.
[10:45.020 --> 10:47.020]  And it is the right term.
[10:47.020 --> 11:01.020]  Texas has official misconduct in most states and that's what they call it, but Texas has official misconduct and that's this use of public funds or public equipment.
[11:01.020 --> 11:12.020]  But if you deny a citizen for free access to enjoyment of right, that's called official oppression and that is exactly what it is.
[11:12.020 --> 11:18.020]  It's official oppression and he is forbidden to do that.
[11:18.020 --> 11:28.020]  So I say we take him on criminally first and when we start taking him on criminally, we make up these criminal complaints and we take them to the prosecutor's attorney.
[11:28.020 --> 11:32.020]  What do you think the prosecutor's attorney is going to do with it?
[11:32.020 --> 11:35.020]  Oh, he's too busy to care about things like that.
[11:35.020 --> 11:38.020]  He's going to use it for toilet paper.
[11:38.020 --> 11:44.020]  It's a bomb. Article 2.03 Texas Code of Criminal Procedure.
[11:44.020 --> 11:53.020]  2.01 says, it shall be the primary duty of the prosecuting attorney, not to secure a conviction but to ensure that the justice is served.
[11:53.020 --> 12:01.020]  He shall not secret evidence or witnesses that would show the innocence of the accused or mitigate the guilt of the accused.
[12:01.020 --> 12:03.020]  Now that is prayer free.
[12:03.020 --> 12:13.260]  Are you trying to say that he has no discretion to go and use that as toilet paper?
[12:13.260 --> 12:17.580]  I'm going to get to that, that's exactly where I'm going.
[12:17.580 --> 12:25.060]  So 201, you know it's nice, high-minding rhetoric, but it really doesn't tell the prosecuting
[12:25.060 --> 12:28.060]  attorney to do something specific.
[12:28.060 --> 12:34.740]  2.02 says the county attorney handled this stuff, district attorney handled this stuff.
[12:34.740 --> 12:43.420]  2.03, the very first one that gives a direct order to prosecuting attorneys.
[12:43.420 --> 12:49.420]  And I'm paraphrasing again because it's a little bit longer than I have what I said.
[12:49.420 --> 12:55.860]  When a prosecuting attorney is made known in any manner that a public official has violated
[12:55.860 --> 13:01.220]  a law relating to his office, he shall reduce complaint to an information smith, the grand
[13:01.220 --> 13:11.300]  jury, does not say may, might, or can if he wants to, shall obligatory, obligatory, it
[13:11.300 --> 13:13.300]  means must.
[13:13.300 --> 13:17.420]  But when we give it to the prosecutor, what do you think he's going to do with it, Brett?
[13:17.420 --> 13:20.540]  He would rather ignore you.
[13:20.540 --> 13:23.780]  Well, what do we call that?
[13:23.780 --> 13:26.020]  It's official oppression.
[13:26.020 --> 13:27.380]  He's breaking the law.
[13:27.380 --> 13:28.380]  Denies...
[13:28.380 --> 13:34.500]  I'll bring to the notice of the grand jury and I'll present it by information.
[13:34.500 --> 13:42.620]  When he fails to do that, denies me and everyone else in the equal protection of the laws.
[13:42.620 --> 13:44.700]  That's how we get the Constitution on it.
[13:44.700 --> 13:51.180]  That's how we get to a right every individual has, every individual has a right to the equal
[13:51.180 --> 13:56.860]  protection of the laws and when public officials breach those laws, other public officials
[13:56.860 --> 14:02.180]  have been forbidden to exercise discretion.
[14:02.180 --> 14:07.420]  They left that discretion to a grand jury of our peers, not their peers.
[14:07.420 --> 14:15.700]  So I'm building these lawsuits that see the governor personally in his individual capacity.
[14:15.700 --> 14:23.500]  I'm going to use the questionnaire in the front of it to use that to estimate, to determine
[14:23.500 --> 14:28.860]  that you have been harmed, determine approximately how much you feel you have been harmed and
[14:28.860 --> 14:32.740]  then triple that and then sue the governor personally and file criminal charges against
[14:32.740 --> 14:34.900]  the governor.
[14:34.900 --> 14:39.540]  When the prosecutor doesn't act on them, we file against the prosecutor with the district
[14:39.540 --> 14:40.540]  judge.
[14:40.540 --> 14:44.060]  When the district judge doesn't act on them, we file against the attorney general against
[14:44.060 --> 14:48.460]  all of them, with the attorney general and when he doesn't act on them, we file against
[14:48.460 --> 14:54.900]  all of them with the chief justice of the Texas Supreme and when he doesn't act on
[14:54.900 --> 14:59.860]  them, then we file a special agent charge to the FBI.
[14:59.860 --> 15:08.420]  What's going to happen when they start getting these lawsuits by the thousands?
[15:08.420 --> 15:14.620]  That'll give them reason to start following law.
[15:14.620 --> 15:16.620]  I'm struggling to get this thing done.
[15:16.620 --> 15:21.220]  I've got a bunch of lawsuits, but I'm going to have to write it somewhat different for
[15:21.220 --> 15:27.500]  every state and that's going to make it somewhat more cumbersome, but I will do Texas first.
[15:27.500 --> 15:29.180]  And I'll put the questionnaire out there.
[15:29.180 --> 15:31.660]  You fell out the questionnaire.
[15:31.660 --> 15:37.860]  It will populate the lawsuit, download, sign and send.
[15:37.860 --> 15:45.900]  Maybe we can give these public officials reason to pay more attention to our Constitution.
[15:45.900 --> 15:47.380]  That's my thorium sticking to it.
[15:47.380 --> 15:53.900]  We've got a minute before a break, but Deborah had a comment she wanted to make and I'll
[15:53.900 --> 15:54.900]  bring her on.
[15:54.900 --> 15:56.180]  We'll probably go on into the next break.
[15:56.180 --> 15:59.260]  I do see a couple of callers and we'll get to you guys.
[15:59.260 --> 16:03.220]  Deborah, are you there?
[16:03.220 --> 16:06.100]  I sure am, Randy.
[16:06.100 --> 16:08.340]  You've had a comment for us.
[16:08.340 --> 16:11.220]  Well, yeah, but there's not really much time.
[16:11.220 --> 16:18.260]  We're about to head into a break, but yeah, I wanted to comment on, what's that?
[16:18.260 --> 16:19.260]  A teaser.
[16:19.260 --> 16:20.260]  A teaser.
[16:20.260 --> 16:23.860]  Yeah, I was going to comment on some of this Greg Abbott stuff.
[16:23.860 --> 16:31.940]  I don't know if you've had a chance to read the documents filed by this group in Houston
[16:31.940 --> 16:38.340]  bringing up issues about what he's doing being unconstitutional and even some of the parts
[16:38.340 --> 16:40.900]  of the government code being unconstitutional as well.
[16:40.900 --> 16:48.020]  We've got some interesting points, but I also wanted to comment on how the TABC regulators
[16:48.020 --> 16:54.380]  now appear to be bucking up against their boss, Greg Abbott.
[16:54.380 --> 16:58.180]  This is very interesting and so I want to talk about that on the other side.
[16:58.180 --> 17:03.940]  We'll be right back.
[17:03.940 --> 17:09.860]  It's the 2019 Logos Radio Network annual fundraiser and gun giveaway sponsored by Central Texas

[18:20.020 --> 18:21.540]  which is in heaven.
[18:21.540 --> 18:26.660]  We wish to reflect God's light and be a blessing to all those with a hearing ear.

[18:31.900 --> 18:35.020]  to provoke unto love and good works.
[18:35.020 --> 18:39.420]  Our verse by verse Bible studies will begin in the book of Matthew where we will discuss
[18:39.420 --> 18:41.180]  one chapter per week.
[18:41.180 --> 18:46.260]  Our topical Bible studies will vary each week and will explore sound doctrine as well as
[18:46.260 --> 18:47.780]  Christian character development.
[18:47.780 --> 18:54.780]  So mark your calendar and join us live on logosradionetwork.com Wednesdays from 8 to
[18:54.780 --> 19:00.780]  10 p.m. starting January 8th for an inspiring and motivating discussion of the Scriptures.
[19:00.780 --> 19:18.780]  We are listening to the Logos Radio Network, LogosRadionetwork.com.
[19:18.780 --> 19:41.780]  We are listening to the Logos Radio Network, Logos Radio Network.
[19:41.780 --> 20:08.780]  We are listening to the Logos Radio Network, Logos Radio Network.
[20:08.780 --> 20:27.780]  Okay, we are back.
[20:27.780 --> 20:35.220]  Randy Kelton, Brett Fountain, Debra Stevens, Rua Valerio and Debra was talking about over
[20:35.220 --> 20:38.380]  the breaks we were talking about what they can do, what they can't do.
[20:38.380 --> 20:39.380]  She was correcting this somewhat.
[20:39.380 --> 20:43.380]  And she wanted to talk about that and DABC.
[20:43.380 --> 20:44.380]  Yes, yes.
[20:44.380 --> 20:52.420]  Well, you were talking about some of these gubernatorial orders being not only in violation
[20:52.420 --> 20:55.780]  of constitution but in violation of statute.
[20:55.780 --> 21:03.100]  And some of these issues have been raised by this group out of Houston, Woodfield, Jared
[21:03.100 --> 21:15.100]  Woodfield is the attorney and they call him the GOP power broker is Stephen Hotsy.
[21:15.100 --> 21:19.100]  I don't think I'm pronouncing it correctly but it's H-O-T-Z-E.
[21:19.100 --> 21:25.260]  He's a doctor and he is the one with the deep pockets, him and his buddies and they are
[21:25.260 --> 21:28.860]  bankrolling all of these lawsuits against Greg Abbott.
[21:28.860 --> 21:35.540]  These guys have sued Greg Abbott at least a dozen times just in the last few months.
[21:35.540 --> 21:42.420]  Every time Abbott sneezes they sue him, okay, which I'm glad to see because they need to
[21:42.420 --> 21:44.500]  give Greg Abbott a hard time, okay.
[21:44.500 --> 21:50.420]  I mean, I've never totally trusted the guy but it seemed like he was, you know, somewhat
[21:50.420 --> 21:57.860]  on our side but as it turns out, oh man, he has shown his true colors.
[21:57.860 --> 22:04.940]  If anyone out there saw the Star Wars trilogy, the prequel, okay, where it showed how, you
[22:04.940 --> 22:12.260]  know, Anakin, you know, was recruited as a child and how he grew up being trained and
[22:12.260 --> 22:20.380]  then ended up turning to the dark side and the big part of the story was, you know, the
[22:20.380 --> 22:31.220]  chancellor of the Senate, Palpatine, who was supposedly a good guy, you know, you know,
[22:31.220 --> 22:38.580]  leading, you know, conducting the Senate for this republic and it turned out he was actually
[22:38.580 --> 22:41.060]  the dark sith.
[22:41.060 --> 22:49.980]  He was the evil dark sith secretly training the other siths and then he was just waiting
[22:49.980 --> 22:58.220]  for his proper moment to seize power through, you know, disaster, you know, you know, whatever
[22:58.220 --> 23:04.060]  the situations, you know, never let a good crisis go to waste and it ended up, you know,
[23:04.060 --> 23:05.780]  he was the one that became the evil emperor.
[23:05.780 --> 23:10.300]  Well, it's like, oh my gosh, Greg Abbott, that's what it's looking like.
[23:10.300 --> 23:12.300]  I mean, it's like a shocker, really.
[23:12.300 --> 23:16.820]  I mean, sort of, I'm not entirely 100% shocked but it's like the things that he has been
[23:16.820 --> 23:24.220]  pulling have been really amazing and I've noticed a pattern with him, excuse me, with
[23:24.220 --> 23:25.220]  him.
[23:25.220 --> 23:28.700]  I started researching these lawsuits that have been filed against him about the business
[23:28.700 --> 23:34.820]  closed all the way back to March about the business closures, them shutting down the bars.
[23:34.820 --> 23:39.860]  He's representing Texas Association of Bar Owners and Restaurant Owners and all of this
[23:39.860 --> 23:46.380]  stuff claiming that he's discriminating against them, you know, that he, how does he have
[23:46.380 --> 23:51.340]  the authority under constitution or statute to get to pick and choose who the winners
[23:51.340 --> 23:59.620]  and the losers are, especially when, excuse me, they turn and look the other way when
[23:59.620 --> 24:08.060]  you've got rioting and antifa and the red guard, you know, looting and rioting and spray
[24:08.060 --> 24:16.180]  pating hammers and sickles and red spray paint all over downtown Austin, things have been,
[24:16.180 --> 24:22.140]  were really extreme here for a while, folks, you know, especially thanks to our little
[24:22.140 --> 24:31.300]  Marxist mayor, Adler, who for the longest time seemed like he and Abbott were at odds
[24:31.300 --> 24:36.780]  but now they're like best buddies, okay, it's absolutely insane.
[24:36.780 --> 24:43.300]  And so I've noticed a pattern with these orders, like, you know, Randy, you're saying, oh,
[24:43.300 --> 24:47.700]  they seem to do these things for our best interests.
[24:47.700 --> 24:55.260]  Well, okay, I'm, if you want to call it playing good cop, bad cop here, you can call it that
[24:55.260 --> 25:03.380]  but I'm, I'm, okay, good, because I'm, I'm calling BS on that because I, I went to his
[25:03.380 --> 25:10.020]  website, I had to, I had to go to the governor's website to try to chase through and sort, sort
[25:10.020 --> 25:19.140]  out all of these executive orders to build my own timeline because he's issued so many
[25:19.140 --> 25:20.140]  of them.
[25:20.140 --> 25:27.900]  I mean, sometimes multiple a week and, and he is, let me tell you, he's a brilliant lawyer,
[25:27.900 --> 25:31.260]  okay, he's a force to be reckoned with.
[25:31.260 --> 25:37.500]  He's like, he's really, really good, he's not like your typical sleazeball shicer attorney.
[25:37.500 --> 25:39.860]  He plays like four or five D chess.
[25:39.860 --> 25:43.940]  In fact, I'm sorry to say, you know, after reading some of these documents, it almost
[25:43.940 --> 25:49.020]  looks like he's running circles around the good guys, okay, they're doing their best
[25:49.020 --> 25:55.460]  but, but he, he tricks them in certain ways and leads them down a path and, and brings
[25:55.460 --> 26:00.220]  up red herring issues and they fall for the bait and all this stuff, you know, we can
[26:00.220 --> 26:01.780]  go into some of those details later.
[26:01.780 --> 26:07.380]  I don't want to bash the good guys, you know, but they, they're filing motions and documents
[26:07.380 --> 26:12.380]  to indicate that, yeah, they get it now, they learn their lesson and next time it's going
[26:12.380 --> 26:13.380]  to be different.
[26:13.380 --> 26:20.780]  But, I mean, at any rate, actually, it was kind of interesting that that happened in
[26:20.780 --> 26:28.300]  one of these first cases because Abbott led them on a rosy trail to, I guess, just abandon
[26:28.300 --> 26:36.900]  an original, original case as a plaintiff in a district court and said, oh, well, well,
[26:36.900 --> 26:40.620]  the appellate court doesn't, the district court doesn't have authority.
[26:40.620 --> 26:46.980]  You have to file an original petition for rid of mandamus to the appellate court.
[26:46.980 --> 26:53.140]  And so it was, it was a little bit unclear what the statute was, but if you read carefully
[26:53.140 --> 26:56.940]  and compared it with case law and constitution, you could tell it wasn't exactly the case.
[26:56.940 --> 27:01.660]  Well, they filed for the bates and so they filed this original, they, they skip over
[27:01.660 --> 27:03.580]  the normal appellate process.
[27:03.580 --> 27:10.580]  You have to exhaust your remedies in order to get to them, be able to hear, have the court
[27:10.580 --> 27:13.580]  listen to a mandamus, you know, consider a mandamus request.
[27:13.580 --> 27:18.660]  Well, so they skip over all of the normal appellate process and they filed this original
[27:18.660 --> 27:24.980]  petition, it was a special kind of a, original petition for rid of mandamus.
[27:24.980 --> 27:27.660]  It was like a, a new suit.
[27:27.660 --> 27:29.340]  It was like, that was the first pleading.
[27:29.340 --> 27:35.940]  It's a special kind of, you know, judicial review of the appellate court on another
[27:35.940 --> 27:36.940]  public servant.
[27:36.940 --> 27:37.940]  So they filed that.
[27:37.940 --> 27:43.460]  They took the bates and they get to this and then they lose at the appellate court,
[27:43.460 --> 27:46.420]  the third court of appeals here in Travis County.
[27:46.420 --> 27:54.660]  They get to the Texas Supreme Court and, oh man, I've got to post a link to the document.
[27:54.660 --> 27:57.940]  But it's actually on the Supreme Court, Texas Supreme Court website.
[27:57.940 --> 28:03.860]  They just, you can tell they made it extremely clear.
[28:03.860 --> 28:04.860]  No bones about it.
[28:04.860 --> 28:06.940]  Don't even have to read between the lines.
[28:06.940 --> 28:14.420]  The Texas Supreme Court is chomping at the bit to take this guy Abbot down and put him
[28:14.420 --> 28:15.420]  in check.
[28:15.420 --> 28:16.420]  Okay.
[28:16.420 --> 28:18.100]  They said it over and over again.
[28:18.100 --> 28:19.580]  You've got great issues.
[28:19.580 --> 28:21.860]  You're bringing up these certain constitutional issues.
[28:21.860 --> 28:24.580]  You're bringing up these certain statutory issues.
[28:24.580 --> 28:32.300]  One of the issues they brought up was that the statute, part of the government code itself
[28:32.300 --> 28:35.940]  and I don't have the document in front of me, the code itself, but part of the government
[28:35.940 --> 28:43.820]  code itself under these executive orders, emergency powers, does authorize legitimately
[28:43.820 --> 28:48.580]  under constitution for the governor to be able to issue executive orders.
[28:48.580 --> 28:55.700]  But nowhere does it say in the Constitution that those executive orders shall have the
[28:55.700 --> 29:00.620]  full force and effect of law.
[29:00.620 --> 29:07.020]  According to the Texas Constitution, only the legislature can enact law that has full
[29:07.020 --> 29:09.180]  force and effect of the law.
[29:09.180 --> 29:17.340]  Executive orders, when it comes to the general citizenry, is basically just a recommendation.
[29:17.340 --> 29:22.980]  All other executive orders that are binding by the power of the governor have to be upon
[29:22.980 --> 29:29.940]  businesses that are regulated through some kind of bureaucratic agency, namely like TABC
[29:29.940 --> 29:33.700]  for example, or restaurant licenses, or things like that.
[29:33.700 --> 29:38.420]  Or if you have to participate in the sales tax scheme, he may be able to get it to you,
[29:38.420 --> 29:39.420]  but not individuals.
[29:39.420 --> 29:45.380]  So they got a good point there because the statute itself says that and so the Supreme
[29:45.380 --> 29:51.660]  Court was agreeing with them on a lot of the merits, including that Abbott overstepped
[29:51.660 --> 29:54.060]  even the statute.
[29:54.060 --> 30:23.900]  And I'll tell you what the Supreme Court said on the other side.
[30:23.900 --> 30:49.940]  That privacy is a big deal, so nearly every company has a policy explaining how they handle
[30:49.940 --> 30:54.420]  your personal information, but what happens if it escapes their control?
[30:54.420 --> 30:56.100]  It's not an idle question.
[30:56.100 --> 31:01.220]  According to a recent survey, a shocking 90% of U.S. companies admit their security was
[31:01.220 --> 31:03.620]  breached by hackers in the last year.
[31:03.620 --> 31:07.260]  That's one more reason you should trust your searches to startpage.com.
[31:07.260 --> 31:11.820]  Unlike other search engines, Startpage doesn't store any data on you.
[31:11.820 --> 31:15.520]  They've never been hacked, but even if they were, there would be nothing for criminals
[31:15.520 --> 31:16.520]  to see.
[31:16.520 --> 31:18.020]  The cupboard would be bare.
[31:18.020 --> 31:21.100]  Too bad other companies don't treat your data the same way.
[31:21.100 --> 31:26.100]  I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht, more news and information at CatherineAlbrecht.com.
[31:26.100 --> 31:35.500]  I lost my son, my uncle, on September 11th, 2000.
[31:35.500 --> 31:39.060]  Most people don't know that a third tower fell on September 11th.
[31:39.060 --> 31:43.300]  World Trade Center 7, a 47-story skyscraper, was not hit by a plane.
[31:43.300 --> 31:49.060]  Although the official explanation is that fire brought down Building 7, over 1,200 architects
[31:49.060 --> 31:52.820]  and engineers have looked into the evidence and believed there is more to the story.
[31:52.820 --> 31:58.180]  Bring justice to my son, my uncle, my nephew, my son, go to building what.org.
[31:58.180 --> 32:01.300]  Why it fell, why it matters, and what you can do.
[32:01.300 --> 32:05.220]  Rule of Law Radio is proud to offer the Rule of Law Traffic Seminar.

[33:10.260 --> 33:26.100]  Yes, Mr. Office, I've been taking the ride ahead. Won't you follow the law of the land?
[33:26.100 --> 33:42.140]  The job is difficult to serve, not to be an abuse, not to be served.
[33:42.140 --> 33:57.660]  You're going to stop abuse, you're going to stop abuse, you're going to stop abuse, you're
[33:57.660 --> 33:58.660]  going to stop abuse.
[33:58.660 --> 33:59.660]  Please, Mr. Maple and each officer must abuse their power.
[33:59.660 --> 34:00.660]  Send a request to the leader, the captain of our officer.
[34:00.660 --> 34:01.660]  Tell them to uphold the law.
[34:01.660 --> 34:12.660]  Abuse, don't abuse their power.
[34:12.660 --> 34:17.660]  The beat and the beat and the cheat and the cheat and the lie to every hour.
[34:17.660 --> 34:19.660]  So, Mr. Officer, please stop abusing your power.
[34:19.660 --> 34:20.660]  You're going to be over.
[34:20.660 --> 34:21.660]  I tell you be silent, sir.
[34:21.660 --> 34:35.660]  I need to speak to my lawyer, Mr. Officer.
[34:35.660 --> 34:36.660]  Okay, we are back.
[34:36.660 --> 34:42.660]  Randy Kelton, Deborah Stevens, Brett Fountain, rule of law radio and Deborah Pound, what
[34:42.660 --> 34:43.660]  she was looking for.
[34:43.660 --> 34:44.660]  Okay, get that depth.
[34:44.660 --> 34:45.660]  Go ahead.
[34:45.660 --> 34:46.660]  Yes, indeed.
[34:46.660 --> 34:47.660]  Thank you, Randy.
[34:47.660 --> 34:51.660]  Okay, so, yes, I wanted to make some points.
[34:51.660 --> 34:55.660]  I went over some of this stuff a few weeks ago, but I think there was a problem with
[34:55.660 --> 34:56.660]  the archive.
[34:56.660 --> 35:01.220]  And again, folks who are listening right now, I sincerely apologize.
[35:01.220 --> 35:04.660]  I know we're like two months behind on the archives, okay?
[35:04.660 --> 35:05.660]  I'm really sorry.
[35:05.660 --> 35:07.660]  I have not forgotten y'all.
[35:07.660 --> 35:13.180]  I don't like to talk about my personal circumstances on the air hardly ever at all, but I know
[35:13.180 --> 35:15.660]  that I owe everyone an explanation.
[35:15.660 --> 35:26.060]  I suffered a back injury, a low back injury, and some sprain in my hip, and I've been dealing
[35:26.060 --> 35:34.340]  with a compressed, I hear like, are you drinking tea, Randy, with a mute, not on?
[35:34.340 --> 35:39.580]  I have a compressed femoral nerve in my right hip.
[35:39.580 --> 35:41.300]  It's kind of the opposite of sciatica.
[35:41.300 --> 35:45.540]  Sciatica is when you have a compressed nerve, the sciatic nerve that goes down the back of
[35:45.540 --> 35:51.380]  your leg, this goes down the front, and I haven't been able to sit in a chair.
[35:51.380 --> 35:58.540]  Like I cannot flex at my right hip without my right leg, the front of my right leg going
[35:58.540 --> 36:02.820]  numb and feeling like they're shooting electrical charges.
[36:02.820 --> 36:10.540]  I've been so busy trying to keep up with everything that I haven't taken very good care of myself.
[36:10.540 --> 36:15.500]  I lost a lot of weight from working too much, not eating enough, I let myself get really
[36:15.500 --> 36:23.700]  weak, but I'm back on track, I'm back on my supplement regimen, I'm back on my workout
[36:23.700 --> 36:24.700]  regimen.
[36:24.700 --> 36:31.700]  I was a physical therapist for 10 years, so I'm doing my own exercises that I would have
[36:31.700 --> 36:37.140]  my own patients do if they came to me with a situation like this, I've been at the chiropractor,
[36:37.140 --> 36:40.700]  so it's just been one thing after the next.
[36:40.700 --> 36:46.620]  As soon as I start to heal, something happens and there's some other major utility emergency
[36:46.620 --> 36:57.460]  that we have to do manual labor around here, but anyways, thanks to folks' prayers, it
[36:57.460 --> 37:03.140]  seems like I've gotten a major breakthrough the last few days and I can actually sit in
[37:03.140 --> 37:07.340]  a chair now as long as I lean back and kind of hang my leg off the front and not flex
[37:07.340 --> 37:14.260]  my hip too much, so as long as I don't push it, I should be able to get the archives going
[37:14.260 --> 37:15.260]  again.
[37:15.260 --> 37:21.140]  So I just wanted to say that, I'm not just being lazy here and ignoring you guys, but
[37:21.140 --> 37:25.580]  I mean I even looked into, sorry I'm adjusting my mic, I even looked into getting something
[37:25.580 --> 37:34.220]  called a standing desk where you can raise and lower the desk, so I mean this is a healthy
[37:34.220 --> 37:38.500]  thing for everyone, so you're not having to sit in a chair all day long, it's like there's
[37:38.500 --> 37:43.740]  a little flip, a little switch, and there's even a motor, and these are very inexpensive
[37:43.740 --> 37:48.260]  too, so if you feel like you need to stand up for a few minutes, you just raise the whole
[37:48.260 --> 37:55.740]  desk up, and then they have desktop, like stands to put on an existing desk that you
[37:55.740 --> 38:02.020]  can raise it up, and I almost was going to try to get one of those, but the problem is
[38:02.020 --> 38:07.740]  I can't stand around in one place either, that kills my low back right now.
[38:07.740 --> 38:13.980]  I have to walk around, I have to move around, or I have to lay down, so I decided to blow
[38:13.980 --> 38:18.860]  off the standing desk and just do what I need to do to heal, so I'm back on track anyway,
[38:18.860 --> 38:25.020]  just wanted to let you guys know because I know that it's like where are the archives,
[38:25.020 --> 38:29.420]  and I was just about to set up a system to make all the archives completely automated
[38:29.420 --> 38:36.860]  when I get hit with all these injuries, but anyways, back to Abbott, okay, so the Supreme
[38:36.860 --> 38:46.780]  Court, the Supreme Court told Jared Woodfill, the attorney and his people that he represented,
[38:46.780 --> 38:53.540]  we agree with you, this is a clear violation of, I think I even read part of this on the
[38:53.540 --> 38:59.100]  air a while back, I have to pull it up though again, but the summary of it, the gist of
[38:59.100 --> 39:06.140]  it is they agreed that there is a constitutional problem with this section of the government
[39:06.140 --> 39:11.460]  code, which I was shocked, okay, when I heard them bring up these constitutional challenges
[39:11.460 --> 39:19.220]  I'm like, come on, but the Texas Supreme Court actually agreed with them and said, yeah,
[39:19.220 --> 39:25.060]  you guys are right, there's nothing in the Texas Constitution that authorizes Congress
[39:25.060 --> 39:32.100]  to delegate authority to any public servant, not even the governor, to be able to issue
[39:32.100 --> 39:40.980]  executive orders that carry full force and effect and weight of law, only Congress can
[39:40.980 --> 39:48.380]  do that, okay, so they agreed on that point and they also agreed that some of the things
[39:48.380 --> 39:55.460]  that he was doing was outside the scope of his executive powers even just at a statutory
[39:55.460 --> 40:08.260]  level, but unfortunately they had to agree with Abbott as far as basically upholding
[40:08.260 --> 40:17.260]  the appellate court's decision that, see Abbott came back, once they filed the petition for
[40:17.260 --> 40:23.180]  judicial review, so to speak, the original petition for mandamus, which is a whole different
[40:23.180 --> 40:28.780]  kind of a case where they're just starting out brand new at the appellate court, Abbott
[40:28.780 --> 40:38.260]  said, oh well you guys can't do that because this section of the Constitution and the government
[40:38.260 --> 40:48.900]  code says that the appellate court only has the authority to issue orders and has jurisdiction
[40:48.900 --> 40:56.140]  over these types of cases for every public servant, these types of mandamuses, except
[40:56.140 --> 41:05.820]  for the governor, okay, I think that was actually in the Constitution and so he was right and
[41:05.820 --> 41:13.020]  in that situation the statute does not conflict with the Constitution, they do go together
[41:13.020 --> 41:19.340]  but you have to read them both together very carefully, okay, so Abbott totally set these
[41:19.340 --> 41:29.500]  guys up, he's been planning this for a long time, I've read some of his documents, his
[41:29.500 --> 41:40.780]  responses, he even filed as an intervener, I call him an interferer in another one of
[41:40.780 --> 41:47.660]  their cases where they sued the county judge in Harris County about the mask before he
[41:47.660 --> 41:57.540]  issued his order, in fact that's why he did it, that's what it looks like to us, okay,
[41:57.540 --> 42:04.660]  when Woodfill and the Houston crew went after the Harris County judge for the county mask
[42:04.660 --> 42:13.540]  order and they sued the county judge, that was right before, that was, oh my gosh, that's
[42:13.540 --> 42:23.620]  right, that was like three days before Abbott issued his statewide mask order that was on
[42:23.620 --> 42:32.660]  July 3rd, that's right, it was Friday July, okay, Friday, it was the 2nd or the 3rd,
[42:32.660 --> 42:38.020]  I think the 4th of July was a Saturday if I'm remembering correctly, but yeah, he did
[42:38.020 --> 42:44.260]  that, he did that, that's right, on the Thursday, the 2nd, and we were like, oh yeah, these
[42:44.260 --> 42:51.460]  bad guys, they always do stuff like this right before a weekend or a holiday to mess
[42:51.460 --> 42:56.420]  up, you know, when they sue you, when they sue you in civil court, the bad guys, they'll
[42:56.420 --> 43:01.020]  try to get you served on Christmas Eve and stuff like that and so we thought it was,
[43:01.020 --> 43:05.900]  you know, this big plan to wreck everyone's holiday, but it was more than that, he did
[43:05.900 --> 43:13.460]  that, he pulled the trigger and did that as a response, a precursor as it were to set
[43:13.460 --> 43:21.020]  things up with a statewide mask order so that he could turn around and file as a plaintiff
[43:21.020 --> 43:27.860]  intervener in the other case that these guys had filed, the good guys had filed against
[43:27.860 --> 43:34.540]  the county attorney and gave them such a hard time, totally wrapped them up in a quagmire
[43:34.540 --> 43:42.220]  and the end of that story is that now it's on appeal, I didn't read all the details,
[43:42.220 --> 43:51.540]  but back to the Supreme Court, they had to agree with Abbott and they said, listen guys,
[43:51.540 --> 43:58.380]  you used the wrong legal vehicle, come back, come back again and we'll talk more on the
[43:58.380 --> 44:00.020]  other side.
[44:00.020 --> 44:04.700]  I love logos, without the shows on this network I'd be almost as ignorant as my friends, I'm
[44:04.700 --> 44:08.660]  so addicted to the truth now that there's no going back, I need my truth pick, I'd be
[44:08.660 --> 44:13.500]  lost without logos and I really want to help keep this network on the air and I'd love
[44:13.500 --> 44:17.100]  to volunteer as a show producer but I'm a bit of a Luddite and I really don't have any
[44:17.100 --> 44:21.940]  money to give because I spent it all on supplements, how can I help logos?
[44:21.940 --> 44:26.900]  Well, I'm glad you asked, whenever you order anything from Amazon you can help logos,
[44:26.900 --> 44:31.220]  with ordering your supplies or holiday gifts, first thing you do is clear your cookies,

[44:38.020 --> 44:43.620]  you order anything from Amazon you use that link and Logos gets a few pesos, do I pay
[44:43.620 --> 44:44.620]  extra?
[44:44.620 --> 44:46.940]  No, do you have to do anything different when I order?
[44:46.940 --> 44:47.940]  No!
[44:47.940 --> 44:48.940]  Can I use my Amazon Prime?
[44:48.940 --> 44:49.940]  No!
[44:49.940 --> 44:50.940]  I mean yes!

[46:17.980 --> 46:46.780]  Okay, do you guys like the video?
[46:47.980 --> 46:57.500]  Okay, we are back, Randy Kelton, Brett Fountain, Debra Stevens, Ruins Law Radio, and we're
[46:57.500 --> 47:01.100]  going back to Deb.
[47:01.100 --> 47:02.100]  I lost my place.
[47:02.100 --> 47:03.600]  Okay, go ahead, Deb.
[47:03.600 --> 47:04.600]  Okay, yes.
[47:04.600 --> 47:08.780]  Sorry if I took up too much time last segment with the explanation.
[47:08.780 --> 47:13.780]  I just felt that the listeners deserve an explanation because two months behind an archives is
[47:13.780 --> 47:17.960]  pretty extreme, but there is a very good reason for it.
[47:17.960 --> 47:21.780]  Not being able to sit in a chair, not being able to use a computer, I mean, even not
[47:21.780 --> 47:25.860]  being able to, like, halfway recline on the couch or the laptop, I mean, it was just like
[47:25.860 --> 47:29.820]  no computer, sorry, can't stand using a desk or anything.
[47:29.820 --> 47:37.740]  But anyways, back on track, the Texas Supreme Court, unfortunately, their hands were tied.
[47:37.740 --> 47:43.820]  They had to side with Abbott because when you look at the statute, the government code,
[47:43.820 --> 47:50.620]  when you look at the related section of the Texas Constitution, it does very, the Constitution
[47:50.620 --> 48:00.540]  clearly does say that the court system, the judiciary has authority and has jurisdiction
[48:00.540 --> 48:06.020]  to make decisions and rulings on these particular types of mandammuses, which they were trying
[48:06.020 --> 48:15.660]  to get the court to strike down in executive order or basically an injunction, relief and
[48:15.660 --> 48:22.020]  equity against this mask, against the mask order, against the shutdowns, all this stuff,
[48:22.020 --> 48:29.140]  and the Constitution says the court has authority and jurisdiction to strike down any public
[48:29.140 --> 48:36.220]  servants, it's not just legislation, rule, executive order, anything of any of them except
[48:36.220 --> 48:44.820]  for the governor, okay, but however, you know, 90% of the order of the Texas Supreme Court
[48:44.820 --> 48:51.460]  opinion said, you know, agreeing with the merits of the case that the governor has overstepped
[48:51.460 --> 48:59.060]  his bounds as far as the statutory, statutorily, you know, authorized executive powers and that
[48:59.060 --> 49:06.580]  even the statute itself, part of the government code, looks to be unconstitutional and they
[49:06.580 --> 49:16.260]  said just because, just because the Constitution says that the judiciary does not have subject
[49:16.260 --> 49:24.540]  or matter jurisdiction to make rulings on these particular type of mandammuses, where
[49:24.540 --> 49:32.260]  the governor is the public servant at question here, they said this by no means, this is
[49:32.260 --> 49:40.940]  almost an exact quote, they said this by no means indicates in any way that the governor
[49:40.940 --> 49:50.820]  is outside the reach of being checked, of having his power checked by the judiciary,
[49:50.820 --> 50:01.580]  okay, they made it very clear, he is not outside the lasso of the Texas Supreme Court, okay,
[50:01.580 --> 50:07.140]  because basically what's going on here is that it's almost like he's, it's an affront
[50:07.140 --> 50:13.420]  to them, it's an insult to the court, you know, the way he's acting that, you know,
[50:13.420 --> 50:21.300]  as if nothing that he could ever do, could possibly fall under judicial review of the
[50:21.300 --> 50:28.420]  court system and that ain't the way it is and the Texas Supreme Court made that very
[50:28.420 --> 50:35.460]  clear and in this ruling, this was the first, go ahead Brad.
[50:35.460 --> 50:42.900]  Do you get the impression that the court is trying to say to us, to the people, please
[50:42.900 --> 50:43.900]  bring this up?
[50:43.900 --> 50:54.540]  Oh, absolutely, absolutely, they said, they said, unfortunately, we cannot make a ruling
[50:54.540 --> 51:03.380]  on, they basically gave their opinion, okay, on the merits, they said, however, we cannot
[51:03.380 --> 51:12.900]  rule in your favor because you didn't bring the issues to us by the proper legal vehicle,
[51:12.900 --> 51:18.820]  that was even like a specific phrase they used, they said, you guys use the wrong legal
[51:18.820 --> 51:26.900]  vehicle to get this issue in front of us, sorry, we can't help you, now they stopped
[51:26.900 --> 51:33.540]  short of giving legal advice and telling them what they would need to do, what legal
[51:33.540 --> 51:39.540]  vehicle they would need, but I have a feeling probably what the legal vehicle would be is
[51:39.540 --> 51:47.140]  to just take it up through the standard appellate procedure, I mean, basically what Abbott
[51:47.140 --> 51:56.340]  did was set him on a rabbit trail and they abandoned the mass case, see, I was trying
[51:56.340 --> 52:03.060]  to follow the case that they filed against Abbott the same day he issued the statewide
[52:03.060 --> 52:09.940]  mask order, okay, they filed a lawsuit the same day against him, okay, and I think against
[52:09.940 --> 52:15.780]  Paxton too, and so I've been trying to follow this case and I'm like, what is going on here,
[52:15.780 --> 52:21.380]  it was like more than a month went by and the only thing sitting on the dock is the original
[52:21.380 --> 52:27.940]  pleading, like wait a minute, isn't there like a 21 day limit for a defendant to respond
[52:27.940 --> 52:33.060]  or something, I mean, what's going on here, and so basically he distracted them off of
[52:33.060 --> 52:42.900]  the jugular vein case that was directly against him on the mask by interfering, filing as an
[52:42.900 --> 52:47.780]  intervener in this other case, I mean, he's got some pretty sophisticated tricks up his
[52:47.780 --> 52:53.220]  sleeve and then telling them at the district court level, oh, well, the district court doesn't
[52:53.220 --> 53:01.620]  have jurisdiction to hear this kind of case, he told them in the response in his defendant's
[53:01.620 --> 53:06.580]  response in that original case against him, he said, oh, the district court, he said the court
[53:06.580 --> 53:12.340]  doesn't have jurisdiction, you need according to such and such of the government code,
[53:12.340 --> 53:19.060]  you have to file an original petition for written mandamus with a appellate court,
[53:19.940 --> 53:26.420]  that was a total like, just like, look over here, come do this, and they took the bait.
[53:26.420 --> 53:27.540]  That's what Abbott said?
[53:27.540 --> 53:35.380]  Yes, that's what he said, that was in his first, that was in his response to the case they filed
[53:35.380 --> 53:40.740]  on July 2nd against him directly when he issued the mask order, okay.
[53:40.740 --> 53:44.100]  Wow, how many people do you think should bar grieve him for that?
[53:44.740 --> 53:53.700]  You know, I'm telling you, okay, well, you know, the thing is, he didn't address them directly,
[53:53.700 --> 54:01.220]  okay, when you file documents for the court, pleadings, motions, responses, whatever, you
[54:01.220 --> 54:07.460]  address the court, you don't address your opponent, I mean, unless you're doing discovery,
[54:07.460 --> 54:13.700]  okay, which is outside court filings, all right, and so he addressed the court basically,
[54:15.060 --> 54:21.540]  you know, wanting to dismiss the case, it was an emotion to dismiss, it was just a response
[54:21.540 --> 54:27.780]  saying that this court does not have jurisdiction, this is my response because of such and such
[54:27.780 --> 54:34.340]  government code, what the plaintiffs should have done is instead of taking this into district court,
[54:34.340 --> 54:40.740]  they should have filed this original petition for Rida Mandamus directly with the appellate court,
[54:40.740 --> 54:49.220]  and before the district court could even make a ruling on it, the good guys took that response
[54:49.220 --> 54:57.220]  and ran with it and just went ahead and just filed the original petition for Mandamus, okay,
[54:57.220 --> 55:03.460]  because everyone is in a hurry here, everyone's in a crisis, people are losing their jobs,
[55:03.460 --> 55:11.540]  people can't feed their families, people are in a lot of trouble right now, okay, financially,
[55:11.540 --> 55:18.900]  their businesses are closing, they may never be able to reopen again, okay, it's very, very serious,
[55:18.900 --> 55:25.540]  people waiting for months to get unemployment, and so it's like a scramble basically to save
[55:25.540 --> 55:36.900]  people's lives, and Abbott has this whole thing planned for probably years, okay, he knew exactly,
[55:36.900 --> 55:44.340]  he studied, Immaculately studied all the statute, the Constitution, all the case law surrounding it,
[55:44.340 --> 55:52.020]  even at the federal level, you can tell, he's been building the defense against this, against,
[55:52.020 --> 55:58.980]  you know, what people would come at him with, he's been building it for years and years and years,
[55:58.980 --> 56:05.540]  this guy is ready for just about anything that could throw at him in a civil case,
[56:06.820 --> 56:11.700]  because especially when people are in a hurry and maybe, you know, making some mistakes,
[56:11.700 --> 56:18.340]  because people's lives are at stake, and so yes, absolutely the Texas Supreme Court is giving
[56:18.340 --> 56:26.500]  the big thumbs up and the green light to people, please, please bring us something so we can
[56:26.500 --> 56:34.420]  shut this guy down, okay, but they had to stop short of giving legal advice and telling them
[56:34.420 --> 56:39.940]  what they actually needed to do, okay, but they're going to have their chance again,
[56:39.940 --> 56:45.940]  okay, I mean they've got a dozen lawsuits against them, okay, so I just thought that that was
[56:45.940 --> 56:53.060]  some good news there as far as the Supreme Court, and speaking of checks and balances
[56:53.620 --> 57:00.980]  within the three branches of government, okay, the Texas Supreme Court made it very clear that
[57:00.980 --> 57:08.660]  Greg Abbott's actions are not beyond judicial review, they even used that phrase, his activities
[57:08.660 --> 57:16.260]  and actions and executive orders even under emergency powers are not beyond judicial review,
[57:16.260 --> 57:22.340]  and the thing is once, even according to Constitution, once he declares a disaster,
[57:22.900 --> 57:29.140]  it can be indefinite. Now, there's certain aspects of that that can only be renewed 30 days,
[57:29.140 --> 57:37.540]  this and that, we've discussed that before, but the basic declaration of disaster that gives him
[57:37.540 --> 57:44.740]  this broad swath of emergency powers, that can be indefinite. There's nothing in Constitution or
[57:44.740 --> 57:52.100]  statute that says when that has to end or any kind of time limit, okay, but there's remedies.
[57:52.100 --> 57:59.380]  Number one, we can bring the right issues in the right legal vehicle to the Texas Supreme
[57:59.380 --> 58:05.780]  Court up through the proper channels, the proper procedures so that the judiciary can have judicial
[58:05.780 --> 58:12.980]  review over him, and there's one other way that we can put it into this, which is worst case scenario,
[58:13.700 --> 58:21.460]  the Texas legislature by a simple majority in both the House and the Senate can vote to end
[58:21.460 --> 58:30.100]  the disaster, and the governor cannot veto it. Now, that's going to be a really big uphill battle
[58:30.100 --> 58:35.860]  because people don't want the declaration of disaster to end because if it does,
[58:35.860 --> 58:42.180]  they're not going to be able to get benefits, okay, and so as long as these lockdowns are in place,
[58:42.900 --> 58:48.420]  it's a problem. So we'll discuss this and finish this up on the other side, and then we'll get to
[58:48.420 --> 58:54.980]  the T.A.B.C. The Bible remains the most popular book in the world, yet countless readers are

[01:00:45.780 --> 01:00:52.340]  Today in History, the year 1916, the Preparedness Day bombing, a Thai suitcase bomb, was detonated
[01:00:52.340 --> 01:00:57.300]  on Market Street in San Francisco during the World War I Preparedness Day Parade,
[01:00:57.300 --> 01:01:06.820]  killing 10 and injuring 40. Today in History. In recent news, since Governor Greg Abbott signed
[01:01:06.820 --> 01:01:12.580]  House Bill 1325 legalizing HEPA to tax his law back in June, county prosecutors around the state,
[01:01:12.580 --> 01:01:16.900]  including Houston, Austin, and San Antonio, have been dropping marijuana possession charges,
[01:01:16.900 --> 01:01:21.300]  and even refusing to file new ones, since they are stipulating that they do not have the time
[01:01:21.300 --> 01:01:26.580]  or the laboratory equipment to test the year for THC. Margaret Moore, the Travis County District
[01:01:26.580 --> 01:01:30.580]  Attorney, announced earlier this month that she was dismissing 32 felony possession and
[01:01:30.580 --> 01:01:35.300]  delivery of marijuana cases because of the law. Mr. Abbott and other state officials,
[01:01:35.300 --> 01:01:39.300]  including the Attorney General, stipulated in a letter to county district attorneys back on
[01:01:39.300 --> 01:01:44.340]  Thursday that marijuana has not been decriminalized in Texas, and that these actions demonstrate
[01:01:44.340 --> 01:01:50.980]  a misunderstanding of how HB 1325 works, as well as other cities, too, like the District Attorney
[01:01:50.980 --> 01:01:57.220]  in El Paso, Cayma Esparza, a Democrat who also stated earlier this month that the law, quote,
[01:01:57.220 --> 01:02:02.660]  will not have an effect on the prosecution of marijuana cases in El Paso. However, the issue
[01:02:02.660 --> 01:02:07.460]  was succinctly summarized by Mr. Brandon Ball, an assistant public defender in Harris County,
[01:02:07.460 --> 01:02:11.860]  who stated that, quote, the law is constantly changing on what makes something illegal based
[01:02:11.860 --> 01:02:16.900]  on its chemical makeup. It's important that if someone is charged with something, the test matches
[01:02:16.900 --> 01:02:25.700]  what they're charged with. A paper by Tulane University identified a five and a half inch
[01:02:25.700 --> 01:02:31.540]  American pocket shark. As the first of its kind in the Gulf of Mexico, the specimen being only the
[01:02:31.540 --> 01:02:37.460]  second pocket shark ever captured or recorded with the other one being found way back in 1979
[01:02:37.460 --> 01:02:42.180]  in the East Pacific Ocean. According to the university paper, the shark secretes a lumus
[01:02:42.180 --> 01:02:48.820]  fluid from a gland near its front fins. For the purpose, it is hypothesized to lure and prey
[01:02:48.820 --> 01:03:12.660]  who may be drawn into the glow. This is Rick Rody with your lowdown for July 22, 2019.
[01:03:48.820 --> 01:04:05.220]  Okay, we are back. Randy Kelton, Brett Fountain, Debra Stevens, and Debra's in the zone tonight,
[01:04:05.220 --> 01:04:12.340]  and I'm going back to depth. Yes, thank you, Randy. Yeah, I wasn't exactly planning on coming on the
[01:04:12.340 --> 01:04:22.180]  air tonight, but I heard you talking about Greg Abbott, and I got inspired, especially when
[01:04:22.180 --> 01:04:30.100]  you're talking about them doing stuff because they love us so much, which brings me to finishing up on
[01:04:30.100 --> 01:04:44.020]  how we can deal with this turncoat, this trader, the poser, man, the face he's put on for years
[01:04:44.020 --> 01:04:53.220]  and years and years and protecting gun rights and all this stuff. He's doing some of the right
[01:04:53.220 --> 01:05:04.820]  things, but probably for the wrong reasons. There are procedures in place in our Constitution
[01:05:04.820 --> 01:05:10.660]  and in case law and a statute to keep them in check. The Supreme Court made that very clear.
[01:05:10.660 --> 01:05:17.140]  The Texas Supreme Court, he is not beyond judicial review, and ultimately the Texas
[01:05:17.140 --> 01:05:25.460]  legislature by simple majority can vote to end any disaster that the governor declares,
[01:05:25.460 --> 01:05:32.260]  and he cannot veto it. That's just the way it is, and it may come to that. If we can't get
[01:05:32.980 --> 01:05:39.460]  the issues, the right issues through the right legal vehicle in front of the Texas Supreme Court
[01:05:39.460 --> 01:05:45.300]  to give them the power, the authority, the subject matter jurisdiction that they need
[01:05:45.300 --> 01:05:53.940]  to invoke their subject matter jurisdiction to lock this guy down, maybe even in jail,
[01:05:53.940 --> 01:06:01.540]  literally, then our only other choice is we're going to have to take it to our
[01:06:01.540 --> 01:06:07.940]  representatives, our house reps, our state senators, and just pressure, pressure, pressure,
[01:06:07.940 --> 01:06:15.780]  and organize to get them to vote to end the disaster. That's going to be a really hard
[01:06:15.780 --> 01:06:25.620]  thing to do because the declaration of disaster means money, which leads me into the next topic
[01:06:25.620 --> 01:06:34.420]  about Abbott and why all this is happening, and why all the fake COVID numbers because
[01:06:34.420 --> 01:06:42.340]  the hospitals get money, the state gets money, the counties get money. That's all part of that
[01:06:42.340 --> 01:06:52.260]  big stimulus bill, and the CARES Act, which is why there was trouble passing it because
[01:06:53.060 --> 01:07:02.020]  it wasn't just about humanitarian relief. The Democrats want to add on all their pork,
[01:07:02.020 --> 01:07:10.820]  okay, and they want to give, that's the time where they have the opportunity to pay back
[01:07:12.500 --> 01:07:22.020]  favors and to set up more favors for the future, which leads me to talking about when I was
[01:07:22.020 --> 01:07:28.020]  going over, trying to analyze and break down and dissect what was going on with these cases
[01:07:28.020 --> 01:07:33.700]  with Abbott because it's so complicated, all the interfering, the intervening, and leading on
[01:07:33.700 --> 01:07:39.380]  the goose chase and rabbit trails and this and that, and it's like all of these executive orders
[01:07:39.380 --> 01:07:47.140]  that he's issued, it's like he amends the previous one, part of the sections of the previous ones,
[01:07:47.140 --> 01:07:53.540]  but he doesn't amend such and such sections of another one, okay? It's not like when you file
[01:07:53.540 --> 01:08:03.140]  an amended pleading in a court case, you have to file the whole thing from scratch, okay? It's
[01:08:03.140 --> 01:08:10.100]  like, you know, when you, if you file, I hear, I hear some popping. Randy, is your mic, maybe
[01:08:10.100 --> 01:08:15.540]  a cable's not plugged in all the way or something? I hear some popping. I was muted. Okay, all right.
[01:08:15.540 --> 01:08:20.420]  Well, it wasn't me. I think there's some, there might be some internet issues because we've had a
[01:08:20.420 --> 01:08:30.580]  lot of storms in Texas here the last few days, but anyways, yeah, shoot, I lost my train of thought.
[01:08:30.580 --> 01:08:40.420]  Hold on. The executive orders. Yes, the executive orders. Okay, it's like with a court case with
[01:08:40.420 --> 01:08:47.540]  a pleading, like if you file a pleading, you know, you file a lawsuit, your original pleading,
[01:08:47.540 --> 01:08:53.620]  if you want to amend it, like you want to add something, a rookie mistake, a rookie pro say
[01:08:53.620 --> 01:08:59.380]  mistake is you amend your pleading by just adding all, like you just file the two or three paragraphs
[01:08:59.380 --> 01:09:07.940]  that you wanted to add on. No, that's not what amended means in the court system. You have to
[01:09:07.940 --> 01:09:13.700]  do the whole thing all over again and include those paragraphs. Well, with Abbott, what he'll do with
[01:09:13.700 --> 01:09:19.940]  his executive orders is that he'll say at the bottom, he has these little disclaimers that will
[01:09:19.940 --> 01:09:31.700]  say this order serves to amend, which he means change, only such and such sections of these such
[01:09:31.700 --> 01:09:39.860]  and such previous executive orders, but notwithstanding these other sections of these other
[01:09:39.860 --> 01:09:46.740]  such and such executive orders I issued, and this executive order does not override this other one,
[01:09:46.740 --> 01:09:53.860]  but it does override this other such and such one. It's so dang convoluted, and I'm sure he's doing
[01:09:53.860 --> 01:09:59.460]  this stuff on purpose to confuse the hell out of everybody, the good guys, attorneys,
[01:09:59.460 --> 01:10:11.700]  everything. I did happen to notice, though, that he slipped. He's not got it all going on.
[01:10:13.060 --> 01:10:22.180]  When it came to one of the most recent orders he made about the masks, and you can only meet
[01:10:22.180 --> 01:10:29.780]  in groups of 10 people and stuff like that, okay, well, when if you take some of those things out
[01:10:29.780 --> 01:10:39.700]  of context, which of course the libtard leftist media does, it makes it sound, and even on first
[01:10:39.700 --> 01:10:45.940]  reading or two, if you're not really, haven't, you know, have experienced carefully reading
[01:10:45.940 --> 01:10:55.460]  legal documents, you would think that the implication here is that these directives,
[01:10:55.460 --> 01:11:00.660]  these orders, these mandates are binding upon individuals, okay, upon the citizenry,
[01:11:01.220 --> 01:11:09.540]  but they're not. Those are provisions, those are mandates that are embedded in paragraphs
[01:11:09.540 --> 01:11:20.260]  that specifically have to do with regulating certain types of businesses, like restaurants
[01:11:20.260 --> 01:11:29.780]  in particular, okay, and so his first draft, he had the section about you can't meet,
[01:11:30.420 --> 01:11:35.540]  you know, in more than 10 people. That was in a separate paragraph that was outside
[01:11:35.540 --> 01:11:41.300]  of the whole paragraph and subparagraph section talking about regulating businesses,
[01:11:41.300 --> 01:11:48.900]  and so from, you know, if you made an outline of it, it would be like Roman in Rule 3, okay,
[01:11:48.900 --> 01:11:56.740]  it would be a new topic, and so he caught it, and so like a few days later, he amended that
[01:11:56.740 --> 01:12:02.180]  order, and then he took that section, that clause, that little paragraph, and then he moved it and
[01:12:02.180 --> 01:12:09.780]  embedded it in the list of all this other stuff that had to do with regulating businesses and
[01:12:09.780 --> 01:12:19.460]  restaurants, okay, so that he could CYA, okay, so he could make it appear that he's telling everyone
[01:12:19.460 --> 01:12:26.980]  what to do, and everyone's like, oh my gosh, the governor said we can't meet in more than 10 people,
[01:12:26.980 --> 01:12:33.060]  so I guess that means, you know, we can't have our normal Bible study tonight that we usually do,
[01:12:33.060 --> 01:12:38.420]  because we usually have about 20 people over. No, that's not what it means. It has to do with
[01:12:38.420 --> 01:12:46.020]  like public places, like restaurants, businesses that are regulated, where like if you have a
[01:12:46.020 --> 01:12:52.180]  wedding party or something or a graduation party, you can't go with your friends and family to
[01:12:52.180 --> 01:12:57.460]  restaurant in a group of more than 10 people. That's what it means. It doesn't mean you can't meet in
[01:12:57.460 --> 01:13:02.580]  more than a group of 10 people in your house, okay, so he does all of this stuff, and so having to
[01:13:02.580 --> 01:13:09.300]  chase all of this stuff down, it's just all these amendments, amendments, amendments, it's just insane,
[01:13:09.300 --> 01:13:17.300]  and so I went through the governor's website. It took me like two days to, I had to make flowcharts,
[01:13:17.300 --> 01:13:23.140]  and all of this stuff. I mean, I know the guy is doing a lot of this on purpose. I caught one or two
[01:13:23.700 --> 01:13:29.620]  slip-ups that he had, and then maybe just adding at the last minute, oh yeah, let's do this too,
[01:13:30.180 --> 01:13:37.620]  okay, but he's doing all of this on purpose to confuse everyone and confuse his opponents,
[01:13:37.620 --> 01:13:44.500]  other lawyers, to make it hard to figure out just what is going on here, okay, so you can't pin him
[01:13:44.500 --> 01:13:54.020]  down, and what I happened to notice, I noticed a pattern after two days, okay, of going through all
[01:13:54.020 --> 01:14:02.420]  of these like plethora of executive orders. I happened to notice, okay, on the governor's blog
[01:14:02.420 --> 01:14:10.740]  site that pretty much every time he issued an executive order, that had anything to do
[01:14:10.740 --> 01:14:22.660]  at all with COVID, pandemic, whatever, within two or three days, there was either another executive
[01:14:22.660 --> 01:14:34.580]  order or just like a blog post press release, so to speak, announcing or mandating that he
[01:14:34.580 --> 01:14:42.020]  has just now received such and such billions of dollars from either the federal government or
[01:14:42.020 --> 01:14:49.620]  from grant money, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, to fund this and that of, you know,
[01:14:49.620 --> 01:15:04.180]  testings and research and to help for educational purposes and more social programs related to all
[01:15:04.180 --> 01:15:11.140]  of this, and oh, the biggie, biggie, biggie was the contact tracing, there's a whole lawsuit
[01:15:11.140 --> 01:15:16.420]  on that one, they filed in the federal courts on that one, okay, because he unilaterally,
[01:15:16.420 --> 01:15:25.700]  without even consulting like even Paxton or even the head of the health and human services
[01:15:25.700 --> 01:15:33.700]  at the state level, he unilaterally signed like a multi-billion dollar contract with a
[01:15:33.700 --> 01:15:41.140]  private contractor to set up this outlandish contact tracing system here in Texas whereby
[01:15:41.140 --> 01:15:48.740]  you would have to have this app on your smartphone and you have to flash it within the QR code in
[01:15:48.740 --> 01:15:52.340]  order to get into restaurants, just go and get anything else, and so that's in federal court
[01:15:52.340 --> 01:15:57.700]  right now, they took that to the feds, and so the pattern that I'm noticing here is that every time
[01:15:57.700 --> 01:16:04.340]  the issue is one of these orders, within a few days there's some major what I call a sweet heart
[01:16:04.340 --> 01:16:12.580]  business deal, okay, where he's hooking up his buddies, okay, behind the scenes or people that he
[01:16:12.580 --> 01:16:19.860]  wants or companies and entities that he wants to be his buddies to give them these government
[01:16:19.860 --> 01:16:25.780]  contracts, his multi-billion dollar government contracts to either pay back favors or call
[01:16:26.420 --> 01:16:32.580]  or to set up future favors, okay, and you know he's pocketing some of the proceeds, getting
[01:16:32.580 --> 01:16:38.660]  kickbacks, and it's all so that he's laying the groundwork to advance his own personal
[01:16:38.660 --> 01:16:46.980]  political career at the expense of everyone in the state of Texas, okay, period end of story,
[01:16:46.980 --> 01:16:54.260]  that is my take on Governor Greg Abbott, I'm sticking by it, this guy's gotta go, man,
[01:16:55.220 --> 01:16:58.820]  Randy, file criminal charges against this, this, you know what.
[01:16:58.820 --> 01:17:04.820]  All right. Logos Radio Network welcomes a new show to our lineup for the new year.

[01:19:22.340 --> 01:19:31.620]  Well,
[01:19:43.300 --> 01:19:50.340]  okay, we are back. Randy Kelton, Red Fountain, Debbie Stevens, Rue Logo Radio. And over the break,
[01:19:50.340 --> 01:19:59.700]  I discussed with Deborah why she's holding back. I've asked her to go ahead and let loose.
[01:20:02.500 --> 01:20:10.340]  Tell you how I really feel, right? Yeah, this is all about the sweetheart deals, okay? And what
[01:20:10.340 --> 01:20:18.580]  gets my goat really bad is that this is what this guy has been doing in office behind the scenes
[01:20:18.580 --> 01:20:27.780]  all these years is on the taxpayer dime researching and researching and case law researching
[01:20:28.580 --> 01:20:35.780]  at the federal level, the state level, becoming, I mean, knowing these statutes and the Constitution
[01:20:35.780 --> 01:20:45.940]  and the case law, like the back of his hand, anticipating almost, hopefully not all, but
[01:20:45.940 --> 01:20:54.660]  almost every possible legal attack that could come against him for all of this. See, the good guys
[01:20:56.100 --> 01:21:01.940]  work hard flat footed. They dropped this on our heads like a ton of bricks. And now we're having
[01:21:01.940 --> 01:21:11.140]  to scramble and try to go on the offense here. And these guys have been playing in their defense
[01:21:11.140 --> 01:21:21.060]  for this grand scheme for probably years. Okay, this is unbelievable. Listen, I'm telling you,
[01:21:21.060 --> 01:21:27.460]  he's evil to the core. Abbott is evil to the core. He is not to be, and he's not to be underestimated.
[01:21:27.460 --> 01:21:36.420]  All right, Randy, you got to go after a man. I mean, what, I mean, he has said, he came out,
[01:21:36.420 --> 01:21:44.180]  you know what, you know what, he comes out and says that everyone's going to have to wear a mask
[01:21:44.900 --> 01:21:54.900]  until we have a vaccine, until the vaccine comes out or, you know, an effective treatment. Okay,
[01:21:56.420 --> 01:22:03.060]  that just shows you right there where he's at. Okay, number one, there's already a lot of effective
[01:22:03.060 --> 01:22:10.580]  treatments. Nebulizing iodine, nebulizing hydrogen peroxide, nebulizing the asthma medication
[01:22:10.580 --> 01:22:17.060]  budesonide. Dr. Bartlett talks about it. Other doctors are using other types of corticosteroid.
[01:22:17.940 --> 01:22:23.460]  Of course, everyone knows now about hydroxychloroquine. How about there was a research
[01:22:23.460 --> 01:22:30.820]  study just came out of vitamin D deficiency can make you 77% more likely to succumb to this on
[01:22:30.820 --> 01:22:39.140]  and on and on and on. Okay, but oh, you know, Lord Abbott says that, oh, we're going to have to wear
[01:22:39.140 --> 01:22:44.980]  masks until there's the vaccines. You know, that shows you exactly where he's at. Okay,
[01:22:46.020 --> 01:22:51.540]  what all of this has to do with, it's all about the money. It's all about the pocketing the money.
[01:22:51.540 --> 01:22:59.140]  And Randy, I want to see you go after the sky because, you know, it was, oh, and by the way,
[01:22:59.140 --> 01:23:07.060]  by the way, speaking of executive orders and powers and authorities, okay, getting to the strict
[01:23:07.060 --> 01:23:12.900]  scrutiny test. And Randy, you were going to say you hope you'll be able to throw something at him
[01:23:12.900 --> 01:23:19.940]  that he hasn't anticipated. And I really hope so too, with your, you know, your, your program
[01:23:19.940 --> 01:23:23.780]  that you're about to get going. I want to see lots, I want to see thousands of lawsuits,
[01:23:23.780 --> 01:23:29.780]  thousands and thousands of bar grievances against this guy, but criminal charges, criminal charges.
[01:23:31.140 --> 01:23:37.380]  Let him face grand juries in every county in the state. Good luck with that. Yeah,
[01:23:37.380 --> 01:23:42.340]  I don't know if there's any restrict statutory restrictions on indicting a governor. Okay,
[01:23:43.140 --> 01:23:50.100]  we shall see. But anyways, speaking, leading into the next thing that I have to say about him
[01:23:50.100 --> 01:23:55.460]  and the, and Randy, which you were talking about earlier, the violation of constitutional rights,
[01:23:55.460 --> 01:24:07.460]  I touched on this a few weeks ago. When it comes to emergency powers, the, any governmental entity,
[01:24:07.460 --> 01:24:13.780]  whether it's someone in the executive branch, or whether it's Congress that passes a law,
[01:24:13.780 --> 01:24:23.140]  or anything like that, this goes to US Supreme Court case law. And it's also this kind of language
[01:24:25.220 --> 01:24:33.060]  is found in many state statutes as well, because a lot of these cases have originated in states.
[01:24:33.620 --> 01:24:43.380]  This is a well adjudicated canon area of law called the strict scrutiny test, or the scrutiny
[01:24:43.380 --> 01:24:55.300]  test for when it is allowable, when the courts have deemed that it is lawful, if you will,
[01:24:55.300 --> 01:25:01.700]  for any kind of governmental entity, whether it's a legislature passing laws, or by executive
[01:25:01.700 --> 01:25:08.900]  decree under emergency powers, or regulatory schemes, or whatever, to violate individuals'
[01:25:08.900 --> 01:25:17.140]  rights. And so there's a few different levels of tests that have to be passed. Some are more
[01:25:17.140 --> 01:25:25.060]  stringent than others. And if it has to do, if the government wants to take away or infringe upon
[01:25:25.060 --> 01:25:33.140]  what is considered a fundamental right, not just any right, but it has to be a fundamental right,
[01:25:33.140 --> 01:25:37.620]  like some of the ones that are mainly protected by the Bill of Rights, freedom of speech,
[01:25:37.620 --> 01:25:42.100]  freedom of religion, second amendment, right to bear arms, things like this.
[01:25:42.980 --> 01:25:48.660]  Okay, right to due process. They have to pass what's called the strict scrutiny test, which
[01:25:48.660 --> 01:25:53.940]  I'll go briefly over. The first prong is there has to be a compelling governmental interest.
[01:25:54.500 --> 01:26:02.500]  Okay, I think I gave the protecting the aquifer example. You know, if you own property in the
[01:26:02.500 --> 01:26:11.940]  city, you cannot exercise 100% authority over your property, and dig a well, and have an outhouse,
[01:26:11.940 --> 01:26:16.500]  and make a septic tank, because you're going to poison the aquifer, and you're going to kill
[01:26:16.500 --> 01:26:21.860]  everyone in the five mile radius of dysentery. They can't let you do that. If you want to do that,
[01:26:21.860 --> 01:26:26.500]  you go buy a piece of property out in the hills. All right, so they have the authority to take
[01:26:26.500 --> 01:26:32.660]  that right away from you, because you're endangering life of other people that's a compelling,
[01:26:32.660 --> 01:26:38.180]  that's considered a compelling governmental interest. That's one example. There has to be a
[01:26:38.180 --> 01:26:43.460]  legitimate compelling governmental interest, like making sure half the population doesn't die of
[01:26:43.460 --> 01:26:50.980]  something, you know, that you did or whatever, or that everyone does. And so the second prong is,
[01:26:50.980 --> 01:26:56.660]  it has to be narrowly tailored. Now, there's a double, that's a double edge right there, narrowly
[01:26:56.660 --> 01:27:03.220]  tailored, like safe for the mask example. That means, okay, if the goal that they're trying to
[01:27:03.220 --> 01:27:09.700]  accomplish, the method to the, that means to the end is to get, stop people from coughing on each
[01:27:09.700 --> 01:27:17.300]  other. They can't insist that everyone wear, you know, a motorcycle helmet with a face shield.
[01:27:17.300 --> 01:27:23.380]  Okay, that's overbearing. All right, that's, that's way beyond what you would need to do to
[01:27:23.380 --> 01:27:28.260]  stop coughing on somebody. Okay, so that's one example of how something would not be narrowly
[01:27:28.260 --> 01:27:35.220]  tailored. But narrowly tailored also means that it has to work. Okay, it has to be sufficient.
[01:27:35.780 --> 01:27:39.940]  It has to be not overbearing, but it also has to be sufficient. The mask don't work. There's
[01:27:39.940 --> 01:27:44.420]  plenty of evidence concerning that. I won't get into all that now. I discussed that a few weeks
[01:27:44.420 --> 01:27:50.900]  ago. So this mask thing does not pass the narrowly tailored test. Okay, it doesn't pass the compelling
[01:27:50.900 --> 01:27:58.340]  governmental interest test, either the first prong, because his compelling governmental interest
[01:27:58.340 --> 01:28:03.700]  that he stated over and over, and that is the only one that's there, is to protect the critical
[01:28:03.700 --> 01:28:09.060]  infrastructure of the hospitals. That is in statute. That's in government code and the Texas
[01:28:09.060 --> 01:28:17.860]  Health and Safety Code. Hospitals are part of the critical infrastructure. Okay, so the third
[01:28:17.860 --> 01:28:25.220]  prong of the test is the least restrictive means. Well, I don't see the hospitals overwhelmed.
[01:28:25.220 --> 01:28:32.580]  In fact, the hospitalizations are going down every day, like, like a landslide. And now they
[01:28:32.580 --> 01:28:39.700]  keep changing the goalposts, Randy. Okay, they keep changing the goalposts. First, it was the
[01:28:39.700 --> 01:28:46.900]  deaths. The deaths. Oh, and once the deaths get below a certain percentage of then everything
[01:28:46.900 --> 01:28:54.900]  will be okay, we can all go back to normal. And now it's the cases. The cases, as soon as the
[01:28:54.900 --> 01:29:02.180]  number of cases starts to decline to the rate we want to see it, will then everything will be okay.
[01:29:02.180 --> 01:29:10.820]  And now it's the number of positivity. It's the positivity rate, not just number of cases per
[01:29:10.820 --> 01:29:18.580]  day, but the percentage, like some kind of statistical curve, like the positivity rate.
[01:29:19.220 --> 01:29:27.060]  What that is, is the percent of people that test positive on these BS tests versus the
[01:29:27.060 --> 01:29:33.140]  number of overall people that take the test, they want that below 5%, no 10, then they moved it to
[01:29:33.140 --> 01:29:40.500]  10% because people freaked out and were screaming bloody murder. Well, duh, nobody's taking the
[01:29:40.500 --> 01:29:48.660]  test unless they're sick. So I'm surprised the positivity rate isn't 80 or 90%, especially when
[01:29:48.660 --> 01:29:56.260]  these tests will detect, you know, that a grapefruit is positive. I'll talk about that more on the
[01:29:56.260 --> 01:29:58.580]  other side, then we'll get in the CABC, we'll be right back.
[01:30:02.660 --> 01:30:09.700]  Reality TV, sugar, obesity, jet lag, the list of things that makes us dumber just keeps on growing.
[01:30:09.700 --> 01:30:15.220]  But now researchers say we can add stress to the list. I'm Dr. Kauffman Albrecht, back with details
[01:30:15.220 --> 01:30:21.540]  in a moment. Privacy is under attack. When you give up data about yourself, you'll never get it back
[01:30:21.540 --> 01:30:26.420]  again. And once your privacy is gone, you'll find your freedoms will start to vanish too.
[01:30:27.140 --> 01:30:33.300]  So protect your rights. Say no to surveillance and keep your information to yourself. Privacy,
[01:30:33.300 --> 01:30:39.220]  it's worth hanging on to. This message is brought to you by StartPage.com, the private search engine

[01:30:45.700 --> 01:30:51.220]  Are you always on the go and juggling multiple projects? If so, you might think that multi-tasking
[01:30:51.220 --> 01:30:57.140]  proves you're smart. But think again, all that stress might be eating your brain. A new study
[01:30:57.140 --> 01:31:02.180]  Find Stress reduces the number of connections between neurons, which actually makes it harder for
[01:31:02.180 --> 01:31:07.700]  people to manage problems. Researchers at Yale University found that stressed out people have
[01:31:07.700 --> 01:31:12.260]  less gray matter in their prefrontal cortex. That's the part of the brain that helps us
[01:31:12.260 --> 01:31:18.580]  weigh conflicting ideas and regulate our emotions. So take a deep breath and chill out. It'll help
[01:31:18.580 --> 01:31:24.900]  keep your mind as sharp as a tack. I'm Dr. Katharine Albrecht for StartPage.com, the world's most
[01:31:24.900 --> 01:31:35.780]  private search engine. This is Building 7, a 47-story skyscraper that fell on the afternoon of
[01:31:35.780 --> 01:31:40.740]  September 11. The government says that fire brought it down. However, 1500 architects and
[01:31:40.740 --> 01:31:45.220]  engineers have concluded it was a controlled demolition. Over 6,000 of my fellow service
[01:31:45.220 --> 01:31:49.620]  members have given their lives. And thousands of my fellow force responders have died. I'm not a
[01:31:49.620 --> 01:31:53.300]  conspiracy theorist. I'm a structural engineer. I'm a New York City correction officer. I'm an

[01:32:09.620 --> 01:32:13.940]  have a free society, then we're going to have to stand and defend our own rights. Among those
[01:32:13.940 --> 01:32:17.380]  rights are the right to travel freely from place to place, the right to act in our own private

[01:33:28.900 --> 01:33:45.860]  Okay, we are back. Randy Kelton, Brett Fountain Debra Sevens, rule of law radio. We're going to use
[01:33:45.860 --> 01:33:51.940]  one more segment on this and then we'll get to Ted and Shane. We'll be, go ahead, Dad.
[01:33:51.940 --> 01:34:04.660]  Yes, what we were talking about, the strict scrutiny test, that I don't think it passes,
[01:34:04.660 --> 01:34:10.900]  he passes it because we're not talking about hospitalizations anymore. They keep moving the
[01:34:10.900 --> 01:34:17.940]  glare post. They're talking about cases now and then positivity. Okay, and I mentioned before the
[01:34:17.940 --> 01:34:25.460]  break that it's like only people who are sick or who know people who are in contact that were sick
[01:34:25.460 --> 01:34:31.300]  are getting tested. And so, duh, of course the positivity rate is going to be high. And further
[01:34:31.300 --> 01:34:39.060]  more, you know, there's all the false positives. And we were talking about these PCR tests in
[01:34:39.060 --> 01:34:47.460]  the antibody tests, which, listen, the epidemiologists have come out. And what these PCR tests do is
[01:34:47.460 --> 01:34:58.740]  they test for fragments of, partial fragments of RNA that possibly could be from a coronavirus,
[01:34:58.740 --> 01:35:03.940]  but they could be from other things too. They could even be from in endogenous viruses, which
[01:35:03.940 --> 01:35:08.900]  are basically viruses that are just part of your body that you have all your life and they're kind
[01:35:08.900 --> 01:35:16.340]  of benign. Okay. Or they could be from a not so novel coronavirus. Yeah, like the common cold,
[01:35:16.340 --> 01:35:25.460]  okay. And so, like I said, they're all the false positives. Now, there are broad swaths of legitimate
[01:35:25.460 --> 01:35:31.940]  what appears fraud, like people going to get voluntarily tested and they sit there and they
[01:35:31.940 --> 01:35:36.020]  wait for three hours and then they got to go because they got to pick up their kids. Okay. And
[01:35:36.020 --> 01:35:40.900]  then they get a letter the next week saying they tested positive. There is that. I know somebody
[01:35:40.900 --> 01:35:45.140]  personally that that happened to. And Randy, I think you said you knew someone too. But also,
[01:35:45.140 --> 01:35:53.780]  with these PCR tests, with the test for the RNA, what happens is that they run the test
[01:35:53.780 --> 01:35:58.420]  through these cycles where they spin it down and they spin it down and they spin it down.
[01:35:58.420 --> 01:36:10.740]  And the test right now is 40,000 cycles the last time I checked. And if the test can detect
[01:36:10.740 --> 01:36:21.460]  any of these alleged RNA strands at 40,000 cycles, they're saying it's a positive. Okay. Now, what
[01:36:22.180 --> 01:36:30.340]  that amounts to, okay, I guess it's an attempt at trying to determine the viral load. Okay.
[01:36:30.340 --> 01:36:35.460]  But the epidemiologists and doctors are stepping out and stepping up and saying,
[01:36:35.460 --> 01:36:43.780]  what that amounts to, 40,000 cycles, what that amounts to, it's akin to say someone was over
[01:36:43.780 --> 01:36:50.980]  at your house and they just wipe their hand across their hair and a hair fell off their head onto
[01:36:50.980 --> 01:36:58.580]  your couch. And six months later, the hair is still there. Well, does that mean that that
[01:36:58.580 --> 01:37:04.820]  person is still in the room? They're not even alive anymore. Okay. That's what these PCR tests
[01:37:04.820 --> 01:37:12.900]  are doing. The whole thing is ridiculous. Okay. So it doesn't pass this test, the compelling
[01:37:12.900 --> 01:37:17.620]  interest test, because what's about the hospitalizations? They're not overrun. What about
[01:37:17.620 --> 01:37:22.260]  the deaths? Now we're talking about positivity rate and the vaccines. I thought this whole
[01:37:22.260 --> 01:37:28.660]  thing was about critical infrastructure. He can only get past square one if it directly has to
[01:37:28.660 --> 01:37:34.820]  relate to protecting critical infrastructure. Okay. And so it's not narrowly tailored either.
[01:37:34.820 --> 01:37:40.500]  It's not sufficient. Masks don't work. They are definitely overbearing. They don't accomplish
[01:37:40.500 --> 01:37:45.460]  the goal at all. They're shutting. People don't want to go out. They don't want to be around them.
[01:37:45.460 --> 01:37:50.500]  It's causing people's businesses to fail. And it's absolutely by no means the least restrictive
[01:37:50.500 --> 01:37:56.100]  means. But we can only get to that strict scrutiny test if we can show it's a violation of a
[01:37:56.100 --> 01:38:02.660]  fundamental right. If it's just a violation of a general right, it's a lower bar,
[01:38:02.660 --> 01:38:09.060]  but I don't think it will pass even that lower bar. So I want to get to the final point I was
[01:38:09.060 --> 01:38:13.940]  going to make now, the slight change of subject. Look, there's ways to shoot this guy down.
[01:38:13.940 --> 01:38:20.500]  Okay. We've got to get him. We've got to bring the right questions to the right legal vehicle
[01:38:20.500 --> 01:38:27.940]  to the court. He's not beyond judicial review. But there are ways that government servants,
[01:38:27.940 --> 01:38:34.260]  public servants can by decree, if you will, through these emergency powers,
[01:38:34.900 --> 01:38:38.900]  take away people's rights if it meets these three prong tests and they don't have to be
[01:38:38.900 --> 01:38:42.820]  held to a higher standard than the legislature that's been well adjudicated to the Supreme Court.
[01:38:42.820 --> 01:38:48.500]  We can do another show on that. What I wanted to get to, mainly, and this was a short commentary
[01:38:48.500 --> 01:38:55.060]  anyway, is the TABC. It would appear that the Texas Alcohol and Beverage Commission
[01:38:55.060 --> 01:39:01.620]  is actually bucking up against their boss, Greg Abbott, their regulatory agency.
[01:39:02.980 --> 01:39:12.420]  They have come out and by an emergency rule change just earlier last month,
[01:39:12.420 --> 01:39:19.780]  they said, oh, actually it was August 7th. Okay. But it's just now hitting the news and people
[01:39:19.780 --> 01:39:26.660]  are just now, the bar owners are just now getting on it. They passed an emergency rule change allowing
[01:39:26.660 --> 01:39:37.780]  bar owners to apply for a restaurant license without having to have a kitchen on site.
[01:39:37.780 --> 01:39:43.700]  And they are, it sounds like they're almost giving legal advice, on the TABC website.
[01:39:44.820 --> 01:39:51.620]  They're actually calling it guidance. They're saying bar owners can partner with food trucks,
[01:39:51.620 --> 01:39:57.220]  these food carts. We're changing the rule. You don't have to have the restaurant,
[01:39:57.220 --> 01:40:04.660]  the preparation of the food and the serving of it on site. You just have to store,
[01:40:04.660 --> 01:40:12.340]  you have to have a situation where you're storing some food for an off site serving,
[01:40:12.340 --> 01:40:20.260]  like a food cart. Okay. So basically a food cart can say, hey guys, store this box of potato chips
[01:40:20.260 --> 01:40:27.060]  for me. And so they can partner with food carts now, coming under the umbrella of a restaurant
[01:40:27.060 --> 01:40:36.820]  license so that the bars can try to reopen. And so it helps the food cart people too because
[01:40:36.820 --> 01:40:41.700]  the food carts can't operate independently. They have to have what's called a commissary.
[01:40:41.700 --> 01:40:47.940]  They have to have a contract with a restaurant where they can dump their waste. Okay. Like all
[01:40:47.940 --> 01:40:53.220]  the grease they cook. You can't just dump, you know, grease from cooking down the storm sewer
[01:40:53.220 --> 01:40:58.100]  going directly into the Colorado River and stuff like that. So it's kind of, they're kind of letting
[01:40:58.100 --> 01:41:04.500]  them, you know, fomenting a symbiotic relationship here, but it's only temporary. It can only last
[01:41:04.500 --> 01:41:10.900]  120 days, but it would appear that they're bucking up against Greg Abbott and they said something
[01:41:10.900 --> 01:41:22.340]  specifically about wanting to protect this regulated industry. Okay. And so they used that
[01:41:22.340 --> 01:41:33.060]  word very carefully because it struck me that, hey, you know, if all the bars closed, guess what?
[01:41:33.060 --> 01:41:40.020]  If I was a TABC employee right now, I'd be afraid that I'm going to get laid off because if there's
[01:41:40.020 --> 01:41:48.900]  no bars, then there's no bars to regulate and they're going to lose their jobs too. So it's
[01:41:48.900 --> 01:41:53.300]  kind of interesting, you know, that they're, they're trying to help here. I'll be right, we'll be
[01:41:53.300 --> 01:41:58.820]  right back. Are you being harassed by debt collectors with phone calls, letters or even losses?

[01:44:19.300 --> 01:44:35.220]  Okay, we're moving quickly. Go ahead Deb. Okay, yes. We're moving quickly. I'm sorry about that.
[01:44:35.220 --> 01:44:43.220]  I'm having technical problems myself. I desperately need to get some new equipment here. I haven't
[01:44:43.220 --> 01:44:53.860]  had a chance. Randy, I just thought it was very interesting because normally these bars and
[01:44:53.860 --> 01:44:59.300]  restaurant owners are terrified of the TABC. They're like the FBI to them. They're like the
[01:44:59.300 --> 01:45:06.580]  feds to them. They're like cops to the nth degree. Everyone's terrified of the TABC.
[01:45:06.580 --> 01:45:13.860]  All right, and so I just thought it interesting that the TABC actually appears to be helping
[01:45:13.860 --> 01:45:19.060]  the bar owners, and this isn't the first time that they've done this either since all of this
[01:45:19.060 --> 01:45:28.980]  started. When the initial shutdown took place and he said that only restaurants
[01:45:28.980 --> 01:45:34.660]  could do carryouts, well, there's a lot of restaurants that make a lot of money off of
[01:45:34.660 --> 01:45:41.620]  drinks, especially margaritas here in Austin. It's killing their business. What the TABC
[01:45:41.620 --> 01:45:48.660]  did was they had to work around. They let them amend their license, their takeout license,
[01:45:48.660 --> 01:45:57.860]  so that they could actually sell alcoholic drinks to go as long as they were in sealed
[01:45:57.860 --> 01:46:06.180]  containers that were sealed in individual servings by the manufacturer, which was very
[01:46:06.180 --> 01:46:10.660]  imposing and burdensome upon these restaurants because it's like they're sitting on all this
[01:46:10.660 --> 01:46:15.540]  stock and they're like, you telling us that we can't just crank up our margarita machine
[01:46:15.540 --> 01:46:20.180]  and put it in a styrofoam cup and put a piece of tape over it and give it to people, and they're
[01:46:20.180 --> 01:46:26.580]  like, well, according to the statutory requirements we're under, we can't let you,
[01:46:26.580 --> 01:46:32.340]  that's considered carrying a drink, walking around like in New Orleans or something.
[01:46:33.860 --> 01:46:39.860]  But they said they gave them a wink, wink, nod, nod publicly on their website and they said,
[01:46:39.860 --> 01:46:47.860]  however, we're not going to be proactive about running around on witch hunts,
[01:46:49.300 --> 01:46:56.260]  inspecting every restaurant to make sure that they're not doing that. They basically came out
[01:46:56.260 --> 01:47:01.700]  and said, go ahead and do this, we're not going to bust you, but you're not supposed to do it.
[01:47:02.580 --> 01:47:13.060]  They did that and now they've done this emergency rule change. It can only last for 120 days,
[01:47:13.700 --> 01:47:18.420]  but the thing is, it would appear they're going against Abbott. They're trying to do what they
[01:47:18.420 --> 01:47:28.980]  can with their authority to enact a regulatory scheme to get around Abbott's bar closing order.
[01:47:30.100 --> 01:47:37.460]  I find that shocking, but I guess they're kind of probably looking out for their own
[01:47:37.460 --> 01:47:46.100]  behinds as well because if there's no bars, then there's no bars to regulate and that means
[01:47:46.100 --> 01:47:53.540]  they're going to be out of the job too. It's like this is just a very interesting situation
[01:47:53.540 --> 01:48:00.740]  that you've got the regulatory police as it were who are trying to protect the ones that they
[01:48:01.860 --> 01:48:12.100]  normally are coming down on all the time. They're saying that basically when it comes to
[01:48:12.100 --> 01:48:22.820]  if there's a situation where the public health or welfare is in peril,
[01:48:23.940 --> 01:48:31.140]  is in great peril, then they have the authority to enact rule changes without having to wait
[01:48:31.140 --> 01:48:38.020]  30 days. Normally they have to wait 30 days for a rule change. They've managed to find a way to
[01:48:38.020 --> 01:48:47.780]  invoke their own emergency powers to do these emergency rule changes to get around Abbott's
[01:48:47.780 --> 01:48:54.900]  order to try to help the bars stay in business because otherwise what would have to happen is
[01:48:56.260 --> 01:49:03.060]  the bars would have to sell a bag of potato chips for $7 and you as a customer would have
[01:49:03.060 --> 01:49:09.860]  to spend at least as much money on potato chips or whatever as drinks because in order to be a
[01:49:09.860 --> 01:49:15.620]  restaurant you can't get more than 51% of your income from alcohol but to let them partner with
[01:49:15.620 --> 01:49:23.460]  a food cart and to call it a restaurant in general is a workaround. My main problem is
[01:49:24.020 --> 01:49:32.660]  I just don't like it that this whole governmental situation is like kind of forcing the bars to
[01:49:32.660 --> 01:49:41.780]  have a contract with the food carts in order to stay alive. We've all heard about torturous
[01:49:41.780 --> 01:49:49.140]  interference of a contract. We have a right not to contract too. Even if it's in all of their
[01:49:49.140 --> 01:49:56.260]  best interest to do so, fine, great, but when the government makes them do it and I guess the
[01:49:56.260 --> 01:50:03.780]  government's not really making them, they could just shut down and go get the unemployment when
[01:50:03.780 --> 01:50:11.300]  it runs out then what? I see all these people complaining about just go back to work, stop
[01:50:11.300 --> 01:50:16.900]  collecting unemployment, there's plenty of jobs out there. No, there's not and what about small
[01:50:16.900 --> 01:50:22.500]  business owners? What about people that are in their 50s and 60s that have owned a small business
[01:50:22.500 --> 01:50:28.420]  for 30 or 40 years? It's a little late to make a career change and even the Texas Workforce
[01:50:28.420 --> 01:50:34.260]  Commission doesn't require people who have master's degrees to go get a job sacking
[01:50:34.260 --> 01:50:39.380]  groceries just because there's nothing else. Anyways, that's my little commentary but I just
[01:50:39.380 --> 01:50:47.220]  thought it was interesting that it would appear that TABC is bucking up against Abbott through
[01:50:47.220 --> 01:50:58.260]  their little rule change thing. It would appear that there is like a mutiny, rumblings of mutiny
[01:50:58.260 --> 01:51:03.300]  on the bounty as it were. Randy, I think this is a good thing. That's what I was thinking,
[01:51:03.300 --> 01:51:11.620]  a crack in the dam. Crack in the dam, yeah. Where other officials are even taking this kind of
[01:51:11.620 --> 01:51:19.700]  stand, that will help to support the claim that I want to make that these restrictions are arbitrary
[01:51:19.700 --> 01:51:25.700]  and capricious. They absolutely are arbitrary and capricious. They've got nothing to do with
[01:51:25.700 --> 01:51:31.540]  nothing. Mainly they have nothing to do with protecting the critical infrastructure, which
[01:51:31.540 --> 01:51:39.220]  is what this whole thing is all about. I guess with that, if I have any other comments that
[01:51:39.220 --> 01:51:43.620]  will save it for the next show, we need to get to the callers. Callers, thank you for patiently
[01:51:43.620 --> 01:51:47.460]  waiting. I really appreciate it. It hadn't been on the air for a while, but I felt like this was some
[01:51:48.020 --> 01:51:53.860]  important information to realize what we're dealing with here because it's across the board.
[01:51:55.460 --> 01:52:01.220]  Let's go to Ted. Randy, you want to bring Ted in? I lost. I don't see Ted. It looks like he
[01:52:01.220 --> 01:52:11.060]  dropped off. Okay, sorry, Ted. Okay, going to Shane. Shane, what do you have for us tonight?
[01:52:11.060 --> 01:52:20.500]  You've got four minutes left. Hey, Randy. You called in to play us music.
[01:52:22.260 --> 01:52:25.780]  No, I don't know what that was all about. Okay, go ahead.
[01:52:25.780 --> 01:52:36.420]  Yeah, Randy, just a real quick question. I got my 14 days expires tomorrow regarding these
[01:52:36.420 --> 01:52:42.820]  sanctions I got from Keybank. I know Deborah can hear this, but I did file that motion
[01:52:43.540 --> 01:52:50.740]  to the conversion of the arbitration award. The judge basically kind of like scolded me.
[01:52:50.740 --> 01:52:55.700]  He says that not only is it bogus, I'm going to, you know, I'm going to sanction
[01:52:57.300 --> 01:53:06.340]  grant Keybank's sanction for $715 and he granted that, but I did find these facts and conclusions
[01:53:06.340 --> 01:53:11.300]  of law and he did it, but he says, see the transcripts, but he never really focused on
[01:53:11.300 --> 01:53:16.740]  why he's sanctioned them. Okay, you're starting in the middle of something. I'm sure you know
[01:53:16.740 --> 01:53:21.780]  all of the facts around this, but I'm really not sure what you're talking about.
[01:53:21.780 --> 01:53:25.860]  Randy, I know a little bit about what he's talking about. We can't bring the entire case
[01:53:25.860 --> 01:53:31.380]  up to speed because there's not enough time, but we talked about this one night concerning
[01:53:32.740 --> 01:53:44.740]  him basically sending his opponent an offer for contract and if the person didn't,
[01:53:44.740 --> 01:53:53.300]  or if the entity didn't respond within 30 days, then he's kicking in an arbitration clause that
[01:53:53.300 --> 01:54:04.500]  the other party never agreed to proactively and so then Shane has an arbitration, you know,
[01:54:04.500 --> 01:54:11.060]  schedules an arbitration meeting and the opponent doesn't show up because they're really under no
[01:54:11.060 --> 01:54:18.260]  legal requirement too because they never agreed to and even if it's all the peasants, you know,
[01:54:18.260 --> 01:54:23.860]  he's got all the eyes crossed and the eyes dot in the T's crossed according to the Federal
[01:54:23.860 --> 01:54:29.060]  Arbitration Act, you still have to invoke the subject matter jurisdiction of the court in
[01:54:29.060 --> 01:54:40.340]  order for them to take that route and so that's why the judge scolded you Shane and sanctioned you
[01:54:40.340 --> 01:54:50.740]  because you may have had everything procedurally correct, but it seemed to me at the time when
[01:54:50.740 --> 01:55:02.500]  I heard the whole story that the one thing that you missed was square one, which is you cannot
[01:55:02.500 --> 01:55:13.860]  compel someone into arbitration unless they have already agreed to go to arbitration with you
[01:55:13.860 --> 01:55:21.620]  in the event that there's a dispute and just because you have a contract with somebody or a
[01:55:21.620 --> 01:55:32.980]  bank or an entity for something like a mortgage, you can't just like sneak in a demand for arbitration
[01:55:34.660 --> 01:55:40.900]  and say well because we have a contract, now I'm demanding you come into arbitration and
[01:55:40.900 --> 01:55:45.380]  if you don't respond I'm going to consider that a default and then well of course the
[01:55:45.380 --> 01:55:52.580]  arbiter is going to rule in your favor that's all the arbiter can do but there's nothing there that
[01:55:52.580 --> 01:55:59.620]  invokes the subject matter jurisdiction of the court to enforce the Federal Arbitration Act
[01:55:59.620 --> 01:56:07.700]  because they never agreed to have binding arbitration with you on that particular matter
[01:56:08.260 --> 01:56:14.820]  you see that's that was my take at the time at any rate I'm sorry we don't have time to talk about
[01:56:14.820 --> 01:56:21.300]  this more but does that make sense Shane yeah it does but I thought it was kind of you know
[01:56:21.940 --> 01:56:26.340]  kind of rough that you hit me for 715 but I guess maybe I'll call in tomorrow 715
