We've got a lot of footage for you.
Also, we've got coming up, we've got the truck police.
That's right.
That's a story that Mike Hansen, our producer, along with a lot of help, Alex Jones, among many others, have been working on for several weeks now.
So that's pretty good.
I think you're going to like that.
That's going to be interesting for you.
So hang on.
First, we're going to go to the footage of the...
Channel 36, that's, what is it, KXAN? KXAN Channel 36 protest.
We went out there to ask them to beg them to please give us some real news.
So here's some footage of that from Saturday.
It was a great day.
There were a lot of people there.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Citizens of Texas, Texans for freedom, at KXAN News 36. And I'll let the protest speak for itself why 47 people and their children showed up in defiance of tyranny.
In defiance of controlled media.
Then coming up in about 10 minutes, we're going to have a story about the truck police here in Austin, Texas.
You'll definitely want to stay tuned for that if you don't know what the truck police are.
They're revenue generators, modern highwaymen.
unidentified
Everybody needs to get one of these bullhorns.
The information you're receiving is controlled.
We have questions for KXAN News 36.
We offered to give them the footage by Patricia Moore of mass graves in southern Mexico.
The armored personnel carriers and everything else, but she don't care.
But the big question is, what happened in 1993 in Waco?
The flare footage is out.
The feds own video tape.
The flare footage of the feds opening fire indiscriminately on men, women, and children.
The media is controlled.
You are controlled.
You are vessels of corruption.
You ought to be ashamed of yourselves.
And earlier you were out here waving your hands at us, laughing at us.
That's exactly it.
You're the fool.
You're the people.
You're part of this country, too.
You're part of this system, too.
You have the IRS abusing it, too.
Is your punital job making you've got to be an accomplice to this corrupt system?
We've got questions, and we want answers.
Why are you refusing to report the term, KXAM 36?
What is the big problem, KXAM 36?
And something else we want to talk about is we're going to report down there.
On 4th of July, and you acquainted us with U.S. flag burners, people burning the United States flag.
What you see here today, the United States flag flying proudly.
We were shredding you in flags.
You're killed by association's disgusting KXAM 36, and you know it's true.
But we're not going to back down, or we're not going to stop showing what's really happening in this country.
We know a C-fly can with furniture don't matter.
That's why we're proactive and motivated.
We no longer react to your propaganda.
We're acting, and we're acting now.
So get that straight and understand that.
We're not going to stop pushing, because we know that resistance is not futile.
We're going to continue to work as hard as we can to educate the public on radio and TV here in Central Texas about what you and your accomplishments are.
accomplices and the other modern bureaus of propaganda are engaged in.
So you've got fair warning, media.
We are going to continue to show what a pack of manipulating liars you are, how your controllers control the information that is released to the public.
Again, Craig Sam, you are guilty, guilty, guilty of covering up what happened in Waco.
The government's own footage is there from Waco Rules of Engagement.
It came out in 1994 in the Senate hearings.
You are disgusting, KXAN 36.
Now go over there and get Craig.
Craig's going up at the door.
This country, Oregon, I asked them why they're covering up the information.
We want answers.
We want answers now.
Now people are getting angry at us.
All we want is the information, please.
All we want is answers about Waco Rules of Engagement.
That's all we're asking for.
All we want is for you to tell us what's going on in southern Mexico.
We've got the footage.
We've got the footage.
We're not violent.
We just want to sit down.
All we want to do is just sit down and talk.
We've got the footage.
We came over here nicely twice.
We've got the footage of what's going on in southern Mexico for people on the ground.
We're not going to do it.
We're going to do it.
We're receiving his control.
We're going to do it.
We're going to do it.
Very good.
6, 7 months from now, it's been 1999.
But I guess it doesn't matter at all.
It doesn't matter.
We take care of all of the issues.
No, you're just one of these petty media, one of these cinder fans is telling you what you're going to establish.
You're seriously saying that, 36, you can't make excuses about the truth.
The truth is, I don't have all the answers.
But I know it's just a fear that you're talking your ass off every day, saying it.
And manipulate it.
Why will you not show the footage from Waco Rules engagement, the feds own flare footage, the feds machine gunning men, women and children.
More prominent people are standing up for freedom and refusing to submit it.
We refuse to submit to your lives.
We refuse to roll over and tear about the mass psychology.
We're not going to lay down and understand that, KXAN 36.
We're never laying down to your control media.
We're never laying down through the propaganda.
You got that, KXAN 36.
Here are suppressors of information.
Tell us how to cook chicken or barbecue or how to wash our dogs or how to mow our lawn.
We don't want that anymore.
We want information.
We want information.
And we've offered you the information unit one.
Not us.
Try to argue a point.
You just stare indoors and there's something to plan about where we're from.
Oh, I have to call the government here and put it all.
I need to come in the town.
Please, I love the government.
I need to go in the middle.
Who else is right?
Who's 36?
Yeah.
Thank you folks for being willing to think about what's happening.
I know we seem aggressive.
But you see these people all over the place getting excited about football.
What's wrong with getting excited about your freedom?
Good job for at least being interested.
That's what it takes to break their hold on our minds.
They're conditioning us.
It's called propaganda.
Look at all these numbers are growing out here, 36.
Look at them.
Cards are bad.
They've been if they go by.
They want information.
No!
Exactly.
I will re-echo those words.
In fact, I think we ought to concentrate our media attack on them.
I think for the next six months we ought to have a protest out here monthly.
So we've got 500 people out here.
Yeah, let's see you ignore that.
Yeah, we know what you're all about, Cang, saying 36.
But we're not here to even get coverage of this.
We're here to make you think inside.
This is not junior high.
This is not a high school.
Why are you behaving like that?
Why is there this junior high mentality?
Huh?
Answer our question.
Why is there this mentality?
We're not going to back down.
We're going to set push fires in the minds of men.
The Scull and Bone Society, Yale, 11 organizations, even been on A&E.
You're getting beat out by cable TV like A&E.
And show the facts about how they get in coffins and worship the devil.
That's our own governor.
And that's not Alex Jones talking about that.
That was A&E.
About Scull and Bone.
Scull and Bone Society, Yale, Yale School.
Get it straight, Cang, say here.
You don't get it, it's straight.
But I don't think you're a bunch of bubbling fools.
You know exactly what you're doing at the higher levels.
There are a lot of the minions that work here.
The little finalist people that do their job and fill out the paperwork.
Oh no, they're the perfect type of jukes.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Now we're fixing to get to the truck police.
unidentified
But first, we're going to take some calls.
I want to be sure and mention that that was the KXAN Channel 36 news protest.
There were about, I think we counted 47 people and a lot of them brought their children.
So we had a nice crowd.
We had a good crowd out there.
We were able to pass a lot of information.
We got a lot of people coming by honking their horns and putting the thumb, giving us the thumbs up sign.
We were able to give them a lot of the literature that, uh, we were able to give them a lot of That we've been talking about.
There we go.
It's a live show.
What do you know?
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Okay.
unidentified
It would help a lot.
That was KXAN Channel 36 to start over again.
KXAN Channel 36 news protest put on by or basically organized by Texans for Freedom.
That's Jesse Estry's organization.
And now we're going to take your call.
So call up.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
Caller.
You're on the air.
Go ahead.
Call her.
Oh, there we go.
unidentified
You're on the air.
Go ahead.
Hello.
I wanted to commend you guys for getting up there and putting some information out about what's going on.
Thank you.
And I'm afraid that we're going to have to make the people want to understand what's going on in order to have them reported on the news and also to get rid of a lot of these taxes that we pay.
I wanted to have you guys talk a little bit about that, see if you agree.
About our oppressive taxation system?
We'll be sure and talk about that.
Thanks for your call.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, it's pretty simple.
When the American colonists were dumping tea into the harbor, they had a combined taxation of, by most estimates, right around 19% or 20%.
Even the most conservative estimates today put our combined taxation at at least 38%, and most people consider it to be right around 58% to 60%.
When I say combined taxation, I'm talking federal.
Sales taxes, local, municipal, state, gas tax, everything.
unidentified
Licenses, fees, everything.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
Right, and the analogy I heard one time was if you can imagine a dog carrying around a tick that's 60% the size of the dog, I mean, that's essentially what happens to you.
And I know a friend of mine who was victimized by the federal government in terms of the IRS.
He bought this little bitty house out in Bertram, paid like $8,000, $9,000 for it cash, or I think he might have financed it over a few years, made a bunch of repairs to it, crawled around under the house to level the house.
I mean, crawling around there with the scorpions and the worms and every other thing, leveling the house, gets on top of the roof in the middle of the summertime, puts a new metal roof on in the middle of the Texas summer heat.
unidentified
That's hot work, Steve.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
Steve paints the house, all this stuff.
Now it's worth probably $20,000, $25,000.
And a lot of people don't understand this.
If he goes and sells that house, That's hot work, Steve.
And doesn't buy a house of equal or greater value, he has to pay what's called capital gains tax on the difference between the roughly $9,000 and the $25,000 he might be able to sell it for.
That's how much capital gains tax is, about 38%.
unidentified
His sweat equity, he's going to be paying taxes on his sweat that he used and his labor to improve his living condition.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
So for all his hard work, he would have to give roughly half of that.
To the federal government.
And they weren't under that house crawling around with the scorpions.
Caller, you're on the air.
unidentified
Pete.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
Hey, what's going on, Joe?
unidentified
How you doing?
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
Pretty good.
unidentified
Have you ever heard of a guy named David Hinkson?
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
I don't think so.
unidentified
Who is it?
That name does sound familiar.
Well, he's a guy that's really done a lot of studying in the Constitution, and I'm going to order some information and get it to you somehow.
But anyway...
It's really, really interesting.
In 1878, during Lincoln's administration, we did have the United States Constitution of America.
And under Lincoln's administration, what they formed was the United States.
And that is a corporation, and not the United States of America.
And under that corporation...
They own our cars, our boats, our land, and the reason that they've been able to do that is that it starts as soon as we're born when we're issued a birth certificate, driver's license, anything else.
Our name is in capital letters, which in effect is a dead person.
It's not us.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
This ties right into something we've seen locally here, Desi Andrews, talk about.
These are these invisible contracts we talked about earlier.
unidentified
Right, but that's what gives them the right to take away our property.
It's because the United States is a corporation, not the United States of America.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
It's a contractual obligation.
unidentified
That's right.
That's what it is.
That's right.
So anyway, unless you get a low-deal title to whatever you own, they have access to it and can get it.
It's just really, really interesting, the scam that has been perpetrated against us since, you know, 1878. By the way, I got the tape.
Oh, you did?
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
In the article that went with it, yeah.
Brandon had the mailbox key, so I couldn't get it until today.
So all that worked to get it fast.
So I'll get that on the website as soon as I can.
By the way, for those of you who don't know, the website that I'm talking about there, I've neglected it for a while.
I've had a lot of things going on, but that's downsize.ml.org.
No W's or anything like that.
Just go to your...
Go to your web browser, type in downsize.ml.org.
Apparently there's some problems with it right now.
I had two real audio tapes of some surviving Branch Davidians, Clive Doyle and Katherine Madison, confronting in the first ever face-to-face meeting between surviving Branch Davidians and an ATF agent named Dale Littleton.
And there's a complete unedited excerpt of that.
And very soon I need to get Dale Littleton, the ATF agent that was gracious enough to come and speak.
Get his unedited speech on there.
I think it's important for people to be able to hear the whole thing and make decisions on their own.
Joe, is there any other quick things so I can let you go and get to one more call before we get to this tape?
unidentified
No, that's it, but I'll try to get that information.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
Okay, appreciate it.
unidentified
Great.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
One other quick call, and then we're going to get to this story about the truck police here in Austin.
Caller, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hello.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
Yes.
unidentified
Got a quick question.
I saw y'all last week, and y'all were talking about some of our national parks.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
We've lost ownership of them.
Is that correct?
That's not wholly accurate.
It's kind of the net effect.
There was an executive order that was issued, which essentially grants immunity to many of these UN officials and UN programs, the UN Biosphere Program.
And I'm drawing a blank.
unidentified
It figures you're asking me something that I don't have directly in front of me.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
The UN Biosphere Program, and this is Alex Jones' area of expertise, so I feel a little bit out of place here.
Well, I can't think of the other name of it.
Oh, the World Heritage Site, a World Heritage Site.
And because it grants immunity to them, among other things, to become one of these World Heritage Sites or part of this UN Biosphere Program, you have to be willing to agree to all the rules and the stipulations that the UN puts forth.
Excuse me, these UN programs put forth.
And so, in essence, they come under control.
And then you see a map, a good map of which sites are.
In essence, these parks have come under control of the United Nations.
Now, as far as ownership, you could easily make the extrapolation that this is essentially going to be used as collateral on our debt to the United Nations, which I believe it's over a billion dollars now.
unidentified
It's over a billion dollars now.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
That's correct.
I'll tell you what you do is, if you'll get in touch with Alex Jones, he's really more the expert in this area.
It's something that I'm only recently becoming familiar with and just have a peripheral knowledge of.
I know some of the basics.
I'm sure I got some of it wrong, but he really knows it in detail.
unidentified
Appreciate the information.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
I appreciate the job y'all are doing.
unidentified
Thank you, sir.
Thanks for calling and watching.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
All right, we're going to get to this tape now.
This is, I believe it's Austin Police Department, Truck Police, and basically...
This is more revenue generation, folks.
I saw this actually several months ago and called into the Sam and Bob show and let those guys know, and they were like, oh, what's the big deal?
I can understand that.
I want to make this quick comment that a lot of what we talk about is similar to quantum physics.
Now, I know you're saying, whoa, that's a leap.
But anybody who knows anything about quantum physics and knows anything about quantum theory and quantum mechanics knows that so much of quantum mechanics, many of the subatomic particles we've identified, Only exist when you begin to look for them.
Now, I'm not going to get into the whole broad theory of it, but so much of what we're talking about, until you look for it, until you start educating yourself, you're not going to understand what's there.
It's not there to you until you look for it.
I heard somebody say the other day they bought a little Mazda pickup truck for themselves and they said, wow, there's a lot of Mazda pickup trucks on the road.
Well, because they never looked for them before.
There was many Mazda pickup trucks on the road before.
But they never looked for them because they never had one.
And when you get educated and when you really start understanding many of the things that's going on around you, you're going to start seeing it everywhere.
The kind of corruption we talk about is everywhere you look.
And we see it now with Austin Police Department, with their revenue generation, with their truck police.
So if Mike's got that tape ready...
unidentified
This will be great.
They've been working on this story for about five weeks now.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
For about five weeks, that's right.
You got that ready, Mike?
All right, here they go.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
To see is a very important one.
It's about truck drivers being harassed.
Truck drivers that even have new or almost new vehicles.
They are pulled over en masse or they are pulled over individually.
And they are made to go through hours of extensive testing on their vehicles.
They are given massive fines.
This is absolutely horrific.
Stand back and objectively think about this.
You are guilty until proven innocent.
That's how it is in third world dictatorships.
Again, there is no constitution.
The Bill of Rights is being flushed down the commode.
The Second Amendment is non-existent.
A right is something that is not licensed.
And these guys are breaking no laws.
If they have a wreck or run into somebody or...
Cause a problem, they should be charged accordingly for negligence.
But to pull people over en masse and harass them and give them tickets for absolutely no reason, well, that is the modern highwaymen.
If you want to use these roads, you gotta pay this hidden tax.
We're here with a dump truck driver named Jack Brown, first driver we've talked to, and he says every driver will tell us the same thing that we've been hearing, that the police...
And the system, through revenue generation, feed off the people that are trying to work hard.
What are some examples of basically what they do to you?
unidentified
Oh, they yank you over for...
Well, a guy the other day got one for a low tire.
I mean, that's a bunch of crap.
You know, these trucks, we work our butts off 13 hours a day just trying to make a living like everybody else.
I mean, they don't...
You don't ever see them pulling over like...
Any Austin, anybody who works for Capital Metro, Austin, you don't see their trucks ever being pulled over.
Never.
Because the city's not going to police the city because they're not going to make any money off themselves.
They can yank me over, and within 20 minutes, revenue, $600, $700 worth of tickets.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Your truck looks almost brand new.
unidentified
A brand new truck can come out of the parking lot, and they're going to find something wrong with it every time.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Well, I was talking to Jimmy, who's a friend of mine, and...
He gave me a whole stack of tickets, stuff for spillage.
And they say that if a little pile of sand is on your bumper, they'll call that spillage.
unidentified
Yeah, they do.
But you take the pride that Joe out there is taking his trash to the city dump, and he'll have this and that blowing off of it.
They don't yank them over.
There's no money involved.
They're going to pull us over because they know these trucks are making money.
They know that these trucks are going to be on the road seven days a week.
They know.
That they can always make a quick dollar off of.
Guaranteed.
Every day.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Well, Jimmy has a pretty new truck, and there's no oil leak, but one day it was raining, and they climbed around in the truck, inside the cab, everywhere, and said, oh, look, you're leaking oil.
That's an $80 ticket.
Oh, look, you don't have your fire extinguisher properly stored.
And Jimmy said to him, wait a minute, the bed of this truck is six yards.
I don't have to have a fire extinguisher.
And he still got out of that ticket.
But the point is, they're out just giving five or six tickets every time they pull somebody over.
unidentified
That's because the average person ain't going to go down and fight it.
They're just going to say, oh, well, you know, okay, I don't know the law.
I'm stupid.
I just know how to drive a truck.
They think people, just because we drive a dump truck or a tractor trailer, we're stupid.
You know, it takes a lot of experience, and it takes a lot of responsibility to drive one of these trucks.
You know, and we're fighting traffic as it is.
I mean...
Go out and fight these people that are out here selling dope on the corner.
They're not worried about them.
They're worried about putting me, giving me a damn $100 ticket because, oh, I didn't pull my tarp and a little speck of dirt come up because I got a low tire or I got a little bit of grease.
There's cars out here that are probably using two and three quarts a day all over the damn roads.
Where are them tickets at?
How come they're not writing them people up?
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Well, there's no money in harassing them.
unidentified
No, it's private citizens.
They're not going to go after a privacy.
They're going to go after somebody that they know has money coming in the door.
And that's what the damn city of Austin is based on.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
So basically, it's a shakedown.
It's extortion.
It's just like the mob up north.
It's the cost of doing business.
It's almost like in the old west, you'd try to go down a road and there'd be some bandits that said, well, if you want to use this road, you're going to have to give us some money.
unidentified
That's all the police department is.
Whether it's Austin, any state.
In the United States.
That's all it is, legalized mob.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Well, we hear that Texas didn't used to have this, but since Elizabeth Watson, who has now left to a $244,000 a year job at the Justice Department as a fellowship, sitting around all day, probably having fun with Reno up there in some bubble bath or something.
Excuse me, I'm sorry.
But we hear that now it's just Houston and Austin, both places that she's been chief.
unidentified
That figures.
Where'd she go, Washington?
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
She sure did.
She works for Reno now.
unidentified
Look out, people.
She's coming.
She'll get your ass, too, just like she does us.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Well, listen, please keep on keeping on keeping the economy going.
We know it's not Bill Clinton.
unidentified
We know it's the hard-working people that keep the economy going.
It's the United States, man.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
That's right.
unidentified
It's the United States.
I mean, this place is crooked.
It's been crooked.
But they're out there fighting a mob.
Hell, what about legalized mob?
DPS, APD, Houston.
It don't matter where you go.
We're going to get screwed.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
I like your point, Mr. Brown, that they're not out here worried on East 11th, where I drive by every day, going down to the AXS TV studios.
I will see prostitutes, people actually selling crack, some of the taxi drivers down there delivering drugs.
You won't see a cop anywhere.
unidentified
Yeah, but who are you going to make more money off of?
Putting them in jail or writing me a damn $600 ticket?
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
You hear that out there, Austin?
We need our police punishing criminals.
Not sucking off the hard-working people.
unidentified
The city sells an overweight permit to drive on streets.
Still write you an overweight ticket.
Even though you purchase a ticket.
I was told, I don't know if that's a fact or not, but I was told them tickets are about $100,000 a year.
That's an overweight permit, is what it is.
And they still, BFI, Longhorn, Syntex, all of them, they still will hit you for overweight tickets.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
So the rationale is, is pay the $100,000.
Your trucks can drive overweight and maybe cause a little bit of damage to the streets that the trucks built.
And even if you buy it, they'll still give you a ticket.
unidentified
Yeah, basically.
I don't know if that's what the ticket...
That's what I was told that the permit cost every year is $100,000.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
What exactly is this about spillage?
I mean, I'm hearing from personal friends of mine that if you have a little bit of dust on your bumper, they'll run a glove across it and call it spillage.
unidentified
That's it.
That's it.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
So I guess...
I guess my truck, after a couple weeks of not being washed, has spillage all over it.
unidentified
Of course.
But you don't make the kind of money that truck makes.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Exactly.
unidentified
That personal pickup doesn't make the money that that truck makes.
You know?
That's exactly the way they look at it.
But, you know, that's...
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
They feel like, oh, you're out making money.
What are you complaining about?
We can suck off you.
unidentified
That's right.
But, see, I don't own my own truck.
But these guys that own their own trucks, I don't think they realize these guys, they go, oh, yeah, they're making four grand a week.
But they're not.
These guys have $1,600 a month truck payments.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Fuel.
unidentified
Fuel.
They've got tires that cost $300 a piece.
You can go through one, two, three tires a week.
These jobs are hell on these tires.
You've got to buy this material.
This material ain't cheap.
It all adds up.
And then you're paying yourself a salary of about $500.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, but what do bureaucrats know?
Checks just come to them.
unidentified
That's right.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
I mean, to them.
unidentified
Hey, it's all about lobbying.
If I had the money to get out here and lobby, these trucks would never get pulled over.
It's who you know and who you can pay and how much.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Well, now, that's something we've heard is that some of the big companies and people that have big government contracts get left alone.
unidentified
Of course.
Look at the airline industry.
They've been saying these planes are unsafe for years, but it just goes through the paperwork.
Nothing ever gets done because they got a lot of money.
It's a lot of money.
Dub truck drivers don't have that kind of money.
I mean, if we started our own union and come in here, well, you know, we can clean that show quick.
But, you know, it's too hard to fight and get the union in here because too many people out there don't want it here.
So you just kind of play the game is all you do.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Well, thanks for talking to us.
We're going to go out and talk to some other people and find out exactly what's going on here.
But it looks like standard operating procedure for the mob.
Thanks a lot.
The backbone of our economy is the people that actually get out there and produce and work.
People you see building these houses, the people delivering the sand and the concrete, picking up the waste.
That's what we have to have in this country.
People can bitch and complain all day, but that's where you live.
That's how you live.
And I'm sick of bureaucrats sucking office, and then all that cost gets passed on to us.
Meanwhile, bureaucrats shovel papers and sit around like Bill Bunch of SOS, who claims...
Who claimed on KGFK radio a couple months ago that the government is what has given us prosperity?
No, I think it's people working their ass off.
I think that's what gives us prosperity.
unidentified
I've had the brake line pods blow because, you know, they tell you to bleed the brakes down while you're pumping the brakes when they can just as easily open and, you know, all they want to do is check to see if the buzzer's going to go off.
All they have to do is just open a valve down there and let the air out of the truck, which the buzzer will go off.
They want to do it that way.
They want to take it the hard way and make you pump the brakes down, you know, so you're taking a chance of blowing brakes and breaking shoes and all kind of stuff like that.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
So they make you damage your equipment?
unidentified
Right.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
But you say they don't have to do that.
Why are they making you do that if they don't have to?
unidentified
Well, you know, all they wanted to see was just your buzzer go off.
If your buzzer doesn't go off, that's another ticket, you know, so you're supposed to have some sort of a warning in there if you get low on air.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
And you're saying there's a simple way of doing it?
unidentified
Oh, right.
Just drain the air tank.
Let the air out of the air tank, and the buzzer's going to go off.
But they...
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Well, why do you think they make you do something that's dangerous and bad for your vehicle and takes longer?
unidentified
Well, they know it's probably going to tear something up, and that's going to give you another ticket right there, you know?
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
You're saying they actually want to damage the equipment sometimes?
unidentified
Sometimes.
That's what it seems like.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Who mainly pulls you over?
unidentified
Austin DOT. Austin DOT. How many vehicles do they have, or do you know?
Oh, I don't know.
They've got quite a few, though.
The way they've pulled us over before is that they've stopped people out there on Dalton Lane, and I mean just line trucks up all the way down Dalton Lane.
And the state of Texas, DOT doesn't even do that.
You know, when you come across the scales, they fill the scales up.
All the other trucks go on by.
But Austin DOT and the county DOT, they stopped everybody.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
So they stop you and make you sit there for an hour?
unidentified
Right.
Hours.
It was more than an hour.
It was hours.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
How long that you were losing money?
unidentified
Oh, probably a good two and a half hours sitting there.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
And these trucks are expensive to maintain.
You have to be out driving to make money.
unidentified
Exactly.
And then when we did get up there, they really didn't thoroughly check the truck.
All they just wanted is your paperwork and driving losses.
That's it.
All that for that.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
There's something that's very important, Brian, and you just said it.
You're saying they pull you over and make everybody line up before they've even seen anything's wrong.
Last time I heard it was innocent until proven guilty.
They have to have a reason to pull you over.
And now they've got trucks lined up looking for things.
That's not how the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are written.
They're supposed to, once you have a problem, then they throw the book at you.
They don't pull everybody over and just hand out tickets for nothing and make you break your equipment so they can charge you more.
Is that true?
unidentified
That's true.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Well, sir, I'm sorry that the...
Local and state government is sucking off you like the mafia, extortion.
But hey, that's what you get.
They don't work.
They've got to suck off somebody that is producing.
That's what it's all about.
It's called being a parasite.
unidentified
Right, right.
I think it's a joke to them.
For as many hours we put in on the road, you know, as far as actual drive time hours, man, it's just a bunch of crap that they're going to get out there and mess with us, you know, getting other people.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Like another driver said, crack dealers on the corner.
unidentified
Right.
I mean, you see them all the time.
You know, we drive by people smoking dope and everything down in cars, drinking beer and all that, you know, as we drive by.
And we get to deal with them people every day.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
So basically, it just goes back to the same thing.
Y'all are making a little bit of money.
They want to steal it.
unidentified
Exactly right.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Now we're going out to expose the truck police in action.
It's got to be an easy job, too, to pull over hardworking people at your leisure.
There's some more compadres staked out having a good day, enjoying themselves.
unidentified
You see me yet?
No.
This is where they're hanging out.
Which one are you going to follow, that one?
Is he turning around too?
Oh, he's sitting over there.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Is he on the grass?
unidentified
He is on the grass.
That's where they pull him over at.
They must be pulling somebody over down there.
That's what I want.
Oh, he's sitting there waiting to pull somebody over.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
We'll go sit in that parking lot down there.
unidentified
Yeah.
I'm not going to be afraid.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
We're going to be way back here, aren't we?
unidentified
What about up there on that deal up there?
What about up there on that heel right there?
What do you mean?
On that heel right there.
Yes!
Good thing we came back around.
Oh yes, look at them!
Right up on the top of the hill.
God, they're everywhere.
They're swarming.
Where do you want to get closer?
Right here or we're gonna get closer?
We're going here by this mobile home place.
Hmm.
Look at them.
Oh my god.
Get the camera on!
What are you doing?
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
I'm pulling up to the next drive.
unidentified
*Sigh* Black uniformed police.
Making sure we're safe.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Austin police.
Out here feeding off the commerce.
unidentified
Let's go around and talk to them.
Come on.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
We might want to get some of the officers.
unidentified
Come on.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Let's walk on down this way.
unidentified
military shoes, military outfit They're pulling trucks over.
Here we go.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
And again, they'll say it's for the children.
But the question is, why not punish people once they commit a crime rather than revenue generation?
unidentified
Get right there, Mike.
Where?
Right there.
Get the boots.
Yeah, I am.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Why is everybody wearing combat boots these days and fatigues?
unidentified
Thank you.
Get those combat boots.
It's ridiculous.
Look at that poor truck driver.
Yeah.
Did they give him a ticket?
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Look, they're laughing at us.
Look, they're combing their hair.
unidentified
That's hilarious.
They're leaving.
We scared them off.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Yes, they're leaving this gentleman.
They've been inspected before committing a crime, and now they can go about their business.
unidentified
You're guilty until proven innocent.
They're going to take him somewhere else.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, that's what they're doing.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, they're pulling him over to a proper area so they can find and feed him properly.
Austin didn't used to have the modern truck police feeding off the thoroughfares and all the commerce, and that's what it is.
Tribute.
You must pay tribute to the city, to the state, to the county.
Disgusting behavior.
People of Austin need to get involved, get motivated, and stand up against this as well.
Bureaucracies are growing faster than ever here in America.
Well, here's some more loving activity.
As we do this license and wait story.
You see, we pay to build these roads.
Massive amounts of taxes.
State, local, federal.
And then, if you don't pay the myriad parking tickets for the pleasure to park on your streets, they hire all these minions to give you tickets.
Parking ticket.
You get one of these.
For your best interest.
Well, we're going inside to see what's going on with big government central.
Payoff central.
Right here on the Freedom Report.
unidentified
Do what?
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, people are in here having to pay people off to be able to construct things.
That never happens?
unidentified
That's $65 million we just paid for?
Yeah.
Well, here we are at big government central.
We have the intake...
Permit Center, Development Assistance Kickback Center, excuse me, Austin Transportation Boondoggle Center.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
And you have the poor people that are trying to construct things, have to come in here and bow down and buy environmental studies and continue to increase the power of Kirk Watson's big city machine.
It's starting to rival New York, turn of the century.
unidentified
Let's go.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
How you doing?
Can I have the smart growth package, please?
The smart growth package?
unidentified
We don't have...
Was LA supposed to be leaving you one?
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
No, uh...
I just heard about it, and I heard they were giving them out, and I just need one.
unidentified
Okay, Ellen Lowe's the one who's doing that.
I'll call her for you.
Thanks.
Sure.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼
We got the smart growth package from them, about a 15-page document.
This is just a teaser of reports you'll see in the future.
In the transportation section, they state twice that they want to restrict cars and reduce the use of automobiles in Austin and push us towards mass transit and more things like light rail.
As if Capital Metro hasn't been a big enough boondoggle in a corrupt system.
Anyone who knows anything knows how corrupt.
We have one of the most corrupt transit agencies in the country.
Even the state has said that.
And then they talk about how they want to buy up land in bond packages and much more.
This is a reality here in Austin.
They've been succeeding via ignorance.
But again, you'll hear more on this in the future.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
Well, there you have it, Austin.
You see how corrupt the truck police are, just basically a revenue gathering agency.
You see, when you talk about smart growth, what it's really about.
And what's interesting about smart growth is what you're really dealing with is an age-old idea that government somehow can control huge, very complex capitalist economies.
It's completely impossible.
It's pure folly.
The only effect they can have is to restrict money supplies.
And overtax and burden the citizens.
But really, what you see is anytime governments try and get involved in capitalist economies is they just waste their money and their time and their effort.
Tax money, instead of tax money, imagine if that money that we spent on taxes was infused into our economy.
You just think we have a good economy.
We don't.
We just have a lot of money in circulation.
Imagine if we had...
The money that we send to Washington, if you had it in your back pocket in terms of buying power, what kind of economy that would create.
These guys never get it.
They genuinely, I think, believe in their hearts that they're actually going to do some good, but what they don't understand is they do nothing.
It's a fact.
It is just a simple fact.
Look at your history.
Capitalist economies are too big.
Too complex for such a tiny group of individuals to have an effect on, so all they end up doing is wasting your taxpayer dollars.
unidentified
I agree 100%.
You said it all.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
We're going to get to a bunch of your calls.
Caller, go ahead.
You're on the air.
unidentified
Very interesting program.
I'm a first-time viewer.
I like the last report.
It's very eye-opening.
The question I had was, in light of the recent incident in the Capitol, in Washington, what...
What do you think the prospects are for additional legislation, security, quote-unquote, legislation coming out of that?
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
Well, I'll answer that real quick.
Hey, thanks for your call.
We're going to try and get to a bunch of calls, so I'm not cutting you off.
unidentified
First-time caller watcher, appreciate you.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
Right.
This is what's interesting about this.
My understanding is, from the news reports that I've gotten through the Internet, through mainstream news organizations, is that President Clinton at that very moment was in...
Giving a speech on gun control.
So, let me tell you my views on the Second Amendment.
They're very clear.
You have a God-given right, or in the case of someone who perhaps doesn't believe in God, if you just believe in nature as being your creator, let's just use the word creator.
You have a creator-given right to protect yourself and protect your family.
If that involves firearms, then it involves firearms.
The Second Amendment was designed to protect that right that you have to bear firearms.
If you read, among other things, the Federalist Papers, which is a series of essays that many of the framers of the Constitution wrote to argue on behalf of the Constitution to the citizens of colonial America, they wrote saying clearly what the Second Amendment was for, and that was to protect the citizens against standing armies.
They felt that a standing army was a very dangerous thing.
Now, what do I mean by a standing army?
I'm talking about basically what we have today, an army that's paid full-time.
That they believed in militias, similar to what we see in, I believe it's Switzerland, whereas all the citizens have a firearm, have rifles, things of that nature, and in the event of some sort of national emergency, all the people would run to their closet, grab their rifle, and go out and protect the country.
unidentified
Like the Minutemen.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
The Minutemen, exactly.
We've all studied that, even in today's government indoctrination centers that we call public schools.
We even know that.
That was their idea.
They hated the idea of a standing army because they just lived through that.
They had the standing British army, and it was the British army that was the tool of those who would put the citizens of colonial America under their heels and stomp on them and control them and manipulate them.
They used that brute force.
So what the founding fathers believed was we have to build in a way for citizens to protect themselves from standing armies.
If you also go back, and I had a friend of mine, he's run for governor, R.C. Crawford.
He ran for governor against George Bush.
By the way, garnered 4% of the Republican vote, which is fascinating when you consider that basically George Bush has been handpicked to be our next president.
That's a fact.
When it happens, you can believe me later.
And he's an immensely popular governor.
R.C. still managed to pull 4% of the vote, over 20,000 votes, as I recall, of George Bush's own party.
He went down to the UT Law Library.
I imagine you could go down there yourself, research the first congressional record, and you find what the first congressman, senators, representatives believed the Second Amendment meant.
And they felt it meant that everybody, in fact, should have a gun.
They had a problem with you not having a gun.
And the biggest thing was that you see again and again was the danger of standing armies.
They really believed that standing armies was the way for tyrannical governments Put people under their control and put people under their heels.
And we see it again and again.
It happened in Russia.
It happened in Nazi Germany.
If you control all the guns, you have the power.
Same thing with Saddam Hussein over in Iraq.
Do you think all the people walking around the streets of Iraq have pistols, sidearms, firearms, rifles?
No.
Why do you think he has such massive control over those people?
Yes.
To answer the original question, I guess, to get back to it, I'm certain this will be used as another example of why we have to get rid of guns.
Interestingly enough, I think it's all kind of highly suspicious that somebody who was considered a low-level threat to the president just kind of appeared as a blip on a radar screen at one time, ends up going into a Capitol shooting people the very same weekend that...
President Clinton is subpoenaed to testify in the investigation against him regarding allegations that he might have suborned or committed perjury.
You know, one has to wonder how low will this president stoop?
Seven, the kind of accusations that fly around him are phenomenal, especially that have gone virtually uninvestigated.
Out of these seven original people involved in the Whitewater land deal, two are dead, three are in jail, and two are in the White House.
I mean, that's a fact.
That is a fact.
I saw that little intro on PBS documentary one time.
Two are dead, three are in jail, and two are in the White House.
Actually, one was recent release because of medical problems.
But, I mean, this is a guy, how low is this guy going to stoop?
Is he willing to stoop low enough to send some crazy into the rotunda to shoot people in order to distract from the fact that he's going to have to go testify?
I don't know.
unidentified
And the guy had the temerity to not get killed in the process, so now we can actually talk to him later.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
It makes me wonder.
We're going to get to some more calls here.
Caller, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hello?
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
Hello.
unidentified
Yes, sir.
My family, I have a lot of people in my family who does dump trucking, and I really think it's so unfair for them.
First of all, they pay taxes, and second of all, they're given all these tickets.
And, you know, I think to overcome this, what they need to do is just all get together and do something about this and not just leave things the way they are.
Because a lot of people think that money grows off trees.
And I personally think that they have bills.
I mean, they have bills to pay.
They have to get the diesel.
They have to pay for all other expenses.
And it's just not fair.
So I think that all the dump truckers should get together and form some kind of...
Some kind of get together and find a solution to the problem.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
You know, my dad's a truck driver, and I can tell you for a fact, these are some of the hardest working people you'll ever meet in your life.
I mean, this is a job that's not glamorous.
We see how television, and I've lived with this my whole life, commercials constantly poke fun at truck drivers.
People constantly poke fun at truck drivers.
So there's no glamour in this job.
There's no reward other than the fact that you get an honest ace.
Pay for an honest day's work.
And to have police agencies target this group of individuals to generate revenue, corrupt is not even the word.
This goes beyond anything that I've ever seen.
And to see how they target, and I believe what the idea is that what, in fact, what they're trying to do is target, in essence, the corporation that owns the truck.
Of course, there are independent drivers that fall victims of this, and the ticket goes on their record.
But I think these police agencies fully expect these corporations are just going to pay the tickets without fail in order to keep the trucks online.
And we see clearly it's a revenue-generating thing.
They have no desire.
If they had any concern...
For the actual safety and well-being of people on the roads, then all they've got to do is stand down in South Texas and get all the trucks coming up from Mexico that they just turn their heads on because it's all part of NAFTA, it's all part of the love, it's all part of the...
You know, wonderful free trade, but it's not free.
We are held to a higher standard than the rest of the world when it comes to environmental concerns, when it comes to safety, and we don't hold the rest of the world to those same standards.
If we did, sure, it's fair trade, but it's not.
There are trucks coming up from Mexico that are in horrible shape, and I guarantee you they're not down there doing anything about that because that goes back to IMF-type stuff.
We bailed out Mexico.
If they're not having a good economy, they're not going to be able to pay back the IMF. All sorts of things, and it's a much broader thing than this.
That's why they're turning their heads on these trucks from Mexico.
And they're targeting hard-working truck drivers such as the ones we saw in that article.
unidentified
You're absolutely right, Steve.
The standards in Mexico are much lower than our standards.
We have pretty good standards up here, but the standards in Mexico are much lower.
And I've got to tell you, my brother is a long-haul trucker.
He's been doing this for a very, very long time.
He's been doing this for several years.
And one of the things you neglected to mention, when you talk about the corporations, there are so many independent truckers out there like my brother.
No big corporation is going to pay that for him.
He's going to have to pay that out of his hard-earned money.
It's not a glamorous job, but it is a good day's pay for a good day's work.
The only bad part about it is you don't get to spend enough time with your family.
You don't get to spend enough time with your family.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
Caller, you're on the air.
Before you talk, though, I want to thank our sponsor, 98.9 KJFK. Of course, Alex Jones.
One of our co-hosts here on the Freedom Report that will be back here pretty soon now has a radio show every night.
Besides, it's four hours on Saturday night.
We very much thank KGFK. We know we get a lot of listeners as a result of their sponsorship.
In fact, Saturday, one of the members of the Nation of Islam, in fact, I think he's really high up.
Mike's probably going to run a slate there, is going to be on Alex's show on Saturday night.
His name is Cedric Muhammad, and a member of the Nation of Islam called us and asked us.
Also, too, very, very important, the producer of the Freedom Report is going to be down there in studio Saturday night to take some film footage, and you'll be able to see that next Monday right here on the Freedom Report.
Of course, 7 to 8.30 every Monday night, as always, here like clockwork.
And we'll be playing excerpts.
Some edited excerpts of that interview.
I think it should be a really good one.
So we really appreciate 98.9 KJFK for being our sponsor.
unidentified
That's 98.9 KJFK. Free speech.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
Free speech.
The First Amendment at its best.
unidentified
The First Amendment at its best in Austin, Texas.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
I believe you're on the air.
unidentified
Hello?
Hello?
Hello, you're on.
Oh, okay.
Have you heard of a guy by the name of Robert Mueller at the UN, and he's behind a magazine?
I think it's a monthly magazine called, Would You Believe One World?
And what he advocates is a meditation type thing, brainwashing type, and trying to get all the heads of these countries at the UN to meditate in a Hindu type thing.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
Oh, sure.
unidentified
This was from a show that I was watching, I think it was on...
Channel 16 last night, and it had a bunch of different stuff on it.
It was from 10.30 to 12 or from 12 to 1 o'clock.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
You know, I haven't heard that.
By the way, we're going to get to a bunch of calls, so I'm going to go ahead and release you.
But what's interesting about a world government idea, if there were other worlds in our solar system or our universe that we had to compete with, there wouldn't be so much a problem with the world government.
You could have some competition there to keep things in check.
But the problem is, since we don't have contact with other worlds right now, there is no competition.
A one-world government would be the worst thing we could get involved in right now.
And there was a very good friend of mine that had mentioned that to me one time.
I had never thought about it in those terms before.
He said, as long as there would be competition among worlds, there wouldn't be a problem with world government.
But with no competition, it's a huge problem.
Caller, you're on the air.
unidentified
When are we going to protest the police department?
This is Shonda.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
Hi, Shonda.
I don't know.
That's a good idea.
How about you pick a date for us?
unidentified
Okay.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
That's a good idea.
unidentified
We'll go.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
I'll do my best to be there.
This is Shonda on the line from Freedom Lovers International, and you can call her at 933-1950, and you can get her free newsletter.
Is that correct, Shonda?
unidentified
That's right.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
All right.

Oh, they're gone.
One more.
unidentified
Well, I guess that's all of our calls because they're bringing up the cue there.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
Listen, folks, we don't want to wear you down with all this information.
We're not trying to make you feel horrible and curl up into a little ball into the fetal position somewhere inside your house with inside of your television set.
Like many within government would have you do.
We're actually trying to share with you some information and share with you some ideas of how you can stand up and fight this kind of teary and fight this kind of widespread government corruption.
unidentified
And turn this thing around.
We have absolutely had the ability to be able to turn this thing around.
We would not be here if we didn't believe that.
We'd be out in a cave in West Texas somewhere with some water and some food.
steve lane ▲ ● ▼
Some remote island.
unidentified
Some dried prunes or something.
That's exactly right.
We still have the ability to turn this thing around.
It is up to you.
You must make a decision.
These are hard times that we're going into.
For a thinking individual, this is as hard and tough as it gets.
So think about it.
And do something about it.
Act on it while you still can.
And if you have any news stories that you think we could use, please send them to us.
Mail them to us at this address.
