Time Text
I'm going to play a little bit of the music.
I'm going to play a little bit of the music.
You're listening to the Hour of the Time.
I'm William Cooper.
uh...
you're listening to the hour of the time i'm william cooper well ladies and gentlemen the uh...
the nasty nasty little rumor mongers are at it again And this is something that's so easy to check it's just not even funny.
The rumors are spreading all over the internet.
Email is flying.
Websites are being created just to handle this great emergency.
According to the The liars, the rumor mongers, the deceivers.
Who is the father of deception?
Who is the father of deceit?
Well, these are certainly his followers, whoever that father may be.
I think I know.
How about you?
Well, here's what they're saying.
They're saying that a whole bunch of people on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation have thrown the tribal leadership out And that they're surrounded by the Feds in their Ninja Turtle suits and their riot gear and all that kind of stuff and the Feds are getting ready to go in and kill them.
They're saying it's another Waco.
All a lie.
All a lie, ladies and gentlemen.
Listen to me very carefully.
I am going to tell you the truth.
And all you little liars, write this down.
Because you could have checked very easily just by calling the people at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
You see, being part Native American, I have a lot of friends within the American Indian Movement.
I have a lot of friends at Pine Ridge.
I have a lot of friends in Indian tribes all over this country.
I have helped Indians.
I have a major Native American, American Indian page on my website, which is used by American Indians quite a bit, quite extensively as a matter of fact.
We've run stories in Veritas and on this broadcast when they really honestly needed our help.
And so all I have to do is make a few phone calls to find out what the truth is.
I talk to people standing right there.
Standing right there.
American Indians.
Who belong to the Lakota Sioux and the Oglala Sioux.
Talk to them.
And just to make sure that I'm up to date, you know, I talked to them just about three hours ago.
Thank you.
Unless something unforeseen has happened since that conversation, here is the truth of what's going on at not only Pine Ridge, but a little town in Nebraska called Whiteclare.
At the Pine Ridge Lakota Sioux Reservation, there's about a hundred Give or take a few.
Nobody knows exactly the exact number of people in there.
About a hundred men, women, and probably some children, some say children, some don't really know, have taken over the tribal offices.
It's called, back in the hippie days they used to call it a sit-in.
They are unarmed.
They don't have any weapons whatsoever.
They are peaceful.
They're not destroying anything.
They don't want to destroy anything.
They're in there because somebody else has been destroying things.
And they're protesting this.
They're protestors.
They're performing a sit-in.
There are no federal troops there.
And believe it or not, the protestors, the ones who took over the tribal offices, have invited the FBI to come in and seize the financial records of the tribe.
The F.B.I.
has refused.
The F.B.I.
is not there.
The F.B.I.
in another action, however, did seize the housing records pursuant to another investigation and they did it on invitation of the Tribal Council.
Okay?
There are no federal anybody there with ninja suits or riot gear or anything else.
Period.
Zero zip.
It's not happening.
It's a lie.
The protesters have asked, in fact demanded, that the FBI come in and seize the tribal financial records.
Like I said, the FBI has refused because the legitimate government of the tribe has not invited them to do that.
The protesters have also called for the resignation of the Tribal Treasurer and the resignations of all of the members of the Tribal Council.
They support the President of the Tribe, who's trying to clean up the corruption.
Okay?
That's all that's happening at Pine Ridge.
Now, the sitting Tribal Council has voted to have the Tribal Police Go in and remove the protesters from the tribal offices.
So far as I know, that has not happened.
In another protest of the Oglala Sioux of South Dakota, both of these are in South Dakota, both tribes are in South Dakota, The first demonstration taking place by the Lakota Sioux at Pine Ridge is in South Dakota.
The second demonstration, actually there's been two in this little small town in Nebraska.
One earlier, just a few days ago, and all of this is taking place in a little town on the border between South Dakota and Nebraska called White Clay.
White Clay.
It involves the Oglala Sioux, not the Lakota Sioux.
These are two different, complete different tribes, two completely different demonstrations.
The Oglala Sioux, a few days ago, demonstrated in White Clay, Nebraska, across the state border, demonstrated in White Clay, Nebraska, and actually destroyed some property and there was some minor looting.
They're demonstrating murders of two of their tribal members who were murdered and dumped in a ditch right outside the town of White Clay.
And the sale of alcohol to the tribal members causing terrible social problems within the tribe.
But today the demonstration in White Clay, or actually at the edge of White Clay, was peaceful.
The police drew a yellow line, or painted a yellow line, over which nobody was supposed to step.
Nine members of the tribe stepped over the line and were immediately arrested.
They were charged with misdemeanors, failure to obey a police order.
One of those arrested was Russell Means, who was the leader, one of the leaders, of the American Indian Movement when they occupied Wounded Knee back in the 70s.
Okay?
That's all there is to it.
The demonstration today is over.
There was no violence on either side.
Nine people were arrested simply for stepping over a line.
Officials, when I called the officials in Whiteclay, they told me that these people would be fined for committing a misdemeanor and would be released.
That's it.
Period.
That's all that's going on.
There are no federal troops.
There is no way protests is happening.
The tribes The tribe at Pine Ridge is handling their own problem there.
They are a sovereign nation.
It's nobody else's business how they handle their own problem on their reservation amongst their people.
The feds are not involved.
No police are involved.
No state officials are involved.
In White Clay, the Nebraska State Police stood in a line.
They were wearing riot gear.
They were faced with a whole tribe of angry Native American Indians.
They painted a yellow line.
Nine people stepped over that line and were arrested on misdemeanor charges.
After yelling and screaming and protesting for several hours, the rest of the tribe went home.
Those who were arrested will be fined on misdemeanor charges and released.
That's it.
Period.
Okay?
So all you little liars and you little rumor mongers and you little fax-paxers and you little, you know... Stop it!
Right now!
Or I'll send your mommy to get you with her hairbrush in hand.
You little fellers just never will learn, will you?
And now, ladies and gentlemen, A special presentation of the hour of the time.
Listen carefully.
You might learn something.
And, uh, you know, here's something to set the tone.
Because the lessons you're going to hear tonight are for those who fit this description.
And by golly, that's an awful lot of ya.
You're now a surveillance artist.
Yes, sir.
Hmm, it's worse than I thought.
Eat millions now, these pickles you can get.
They go home early.
They come in late.
Freaking cheap looking.
They stumble through the day.
Never give a thought.
To all this work.
For all this pain.
I know it shouldn't vex me.
I shouldn't take it hard.
I shouldn't gnaw the tapering with a tingly disregard.
But let this bother me.
Oh, look at all this boot.
An office double of mine.
The factory's full of food!
Is it any wonder that I'm singing, singing these new runes?
They're fabulous!
I'm just getting started!
They make personal phone calls, and company time!
They Xerox their buttocks, and get you paid the dime!
Their blatant thievery wounds me, their incredulous sounds!
I long to lure them to my home, and then relieve the hounds!
I shouldn't grow unsettled when faced with such abuse.
I shouldn't let him play me.
I shouldn't blow a fuse.
But look at all those fools.
Look at all those fools.
An office full of morons.
A factory full of fools.
We're here to help you wander and sing.
Sing with the blues.
What happened? Where are the instruments?
I believe they called us a breakdown, sir.
I can't have any breakdowns here. What if there was an inspector around?
Playing guitar solo.
That's a lot of practice.
Hey, stay. Do it. Do it, do it, do it.
Yes, sir.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Hey, hey, sir.
Hey, hey, sir.
Hey, this is the King of the Creeps.
That's what he said.
Thought I had my motor working.
Oh, that's Homer Simmons, sir.
Sorry, sir. Thought I had my motor working.
That man by the cooler drinking water headed this way.
Oh, that's Homer Simmons, sir. A drone from Sector 7G.
He'll call the Simpsons in my office and say to have fun.
He'll be six feet with the engines, he'll be two feet when I'm done.
He'll bring a ray of sunshine to my unspoken life.
To make him kneel before me and slowly twist the knife.
Look at him!
Yeah!
I used to grow those boobs, an office full of morals, a factory full of fools.
Yeah!
Whenever I'm singing, All right, here.
Can you make Muddy Water sound calm?
Number 5 pools, an octopus, a flora, a planet full of pool, drinking water and singing blues.
All right, you make Muddy Water sound, pal.
Sure.
Thank you, Smithies.
Meaning, Everybody.
They're all nuts.
I feel like I got a few things off my chest.
You know, the chest of my experience.
You know.
Where do they feel free?
I don't know.
I bet you're wondering who's this pertaining to.
Everybody.
They're all nuts.
The boss, the boss is a little lackey there, the shoe-shiner.
That's what I call him.
The nose polisher.
The workers.
You know?
It sort of... I like that record because it sort of describes the state of the irresponsibility of everybody.
Everybody's looking for a handout.
Everybody wants to be a little tyrant.
You know?
People want to get a job, but they bad mouth their boss all the time.
The guy that gave them the job.
They agreed to the terms of the job, but they can't stand it.
They hate their job!
They're stupid.
They should be thankful they have a job.
They didn't have to accept that employment or those terms of employment.
And if their life was so bad off that they did, for some reason, have to absolutely accept that job and no other, They should have been damn thankful to get it.
You know, there just is an overall state of irresponsibility and stupidity running rampant throughout this country.
Last night, one of the callers exemplified that.
So, you know what?
I wanted to do this last night, but so much of the program had already gone by, and I had devoted it to another purpose.
But tonight, this program is devoted 100% to the man who called last night and did not want to listen because he thought he had it all down.
I call him DUMBER THAN DIRTMAN!
That's right, folks.
Dumber than Dirtman.
He sounded like I was when I was 16 years old.
I thought I knew everything.
Now, I know I know some things pretty damn good.
But I got so much more to learn it's not even funny.
and compared to me this guy hasn't even started kindergarten yet.
Dumber than dirt man.
He can't read.
Or at least he can't read very well.
And if he can read, he does not understand the English language and neither do most of you.
So if you think this is just aimed at him, you're wrong.
A lot of you are going to be educated by this little dissertation here.
Then we'll take your calls and see what you think about it.
I'm pretty sure most of you aren't going to like it.
But, you know, frankly my dear Scarlet, I don't give a damn.
My goal is to preserve freedom for all of us, whether you want to help or not.
And the best way to do that is get you out of your stupidity, your ignorance, your apathy, and make real people out of you.
And being polite to you doesn't do it.
That doesn't cut the mustard.
It doesn't work.
Because if I come on the air every night and tell you, Oh, you're just the wonderful people that ever lived.
Americans are the greatest people on the face of this earth.
It's Americans who are going to save the world.
That would be a lie.
It would make me a liar.
It would make you feel that everything was okay.
And that you didn't have to change anything.
And that would also be a lie.
So I tell you the truth on this broadcast, whether you like it or not.
I don't care who it hurts or helps, even if it hurts me.
I don't care if I don't have any listeners.
I don't care if I'm just talking to myself.
As long as I'm doing the right thing, that's all that matters to me.
All the liars and rumor mongers out there can have the greatest ratings in the world, if they want to.
But the truth is, I have consistently held the largest shortwave audience in the history of shortwave, except for the BBC during World War II.
That's the truth of the matter.
So there's a lot of people out there that know that they get the truth here.
There's some that are just entertained by this broadcast.
You know, and that's okay too.
Everybody will get what they ultimately ask for, or what they ultimately deserve.
And I'm not talking about in this world.
I hope you understand that.
Last night the caller called and said, I ought to just run your mouth off on WBCQ.
After he had read the 16th Amendment and refused to allow me to say anything.
But since it's my show, I always get to say what I want to say.
Sooner or later.
What some people don't learn.
You see, I pay for this airtime.
It's my free speech.
I control it.
I don't owe you anything, including free speech.
If you call this broadcast and I allow you to speak on this broadcast, you are my guest.
And you are my guest only so long as you conduct yourself properly.
When you cease to conduct yourself properly, I simply press a button and you're history.
You're gone.
Because this is my house, literally.
And I hope you understand that.
And it doesn't matter whether you do or not, because the button is here.
It's always going to be here.
All I have to do is reach over, push the button, you're gone.
I have always and will always allow anyone to speak on this broadcast, if they're polite,
even if they disagree with what I say, and even if they want to argue about it as long
as their argument is polite and intelligent and as long as they understand what an argument
is.
Bye.
And as long as they understand when it ends.
If an argument reaches the point where somebody says, did to, and the other one says, did not, and the other one says, did to, and the other one says, did not, that's the time you have to agree to disagree and it must end.
And if you refuse to end it at that point, politely, then I just reach over and push the button and you're history.
Gone.
Sitting on your frustration, sucking your thumb.
Okay?
An argument is not when people are at each other's throats to kill each other.
An argument is when you present and defend a point with facts.
Not with, you said so, or my neighbor told me, or it seems like, but with facts.
If you can't do that, then you have no argument.
You don't have one.
Period.
The caller last night read Article 16 of the Amendments to the Constitution.
And this is what he read.
He read it verbatim.
He read it properly.
It says, Article 16.
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes from whatever source derived, without apportionment, among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.
they always have that power within the restrictions of the Constitution.
The only way that that can be applied is to exciseable, in other words, activities upon
which the government has placed an excise tax.
The measurement of the tax is the amount of income earned.
The Supreme Court has ruled that on several occasions.
Now if you're too lazy to look it up, it's all on our webpages, williamcooper.net.
I'm not hiding anything from you.
And I've explained it all to you, citing the law, and exactly where to go and find it on this broadcast on many different occasions.
The Supreme Court has also ruled, in another ruling, that the 16th Amendment did not give the Congress any new powers of taxation that it did not already have.
So you have to go read the Constitution and find out what powers of taxation the Congress has.
It has never had, and does not now have, and never will have, unless the proper amendment is passed, the power to directly tax the people of the states.
Period.
Period.
The Supreme Court has made several rulings on the 16th Amendment.
The 16th Amendment refers to the measurement of an excise tax.
placed upon certain activities.
Lawfully and constitutionally, by the government, the measurement of the tax is the income from those activities.
And that's what the income tax is when it's applied constitutionally to those whom are lawfully and constitutionally required to file and pay the income tax, which is not me.
And it's not most American citizens who live within the territorial boundaries of the states and do not work for the government.
Okay?
But, you know, just to teach this person and everyone else who can't read and understand English how this all works.
Let's pretend.
Oh, also, the other thing that I have to tell you is the 16th Amendment was not properly ratified according to the conditions of ratification of an amendment in the Constitution for the United States of America and therefore is not law.
Is not law.
This has been proven beyond any shadow of a doubt using official government documents and official documents certified by the several states.
You can find these documents and the proof in a book called The Law That Never Was by Bill Benson, William Benson.
If you don't believe the book, you can duplicate the research As I and many other people have done, and go to the several states and look up the official records of the ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment.
So please do that.
I invite you to do it, and you will find out it was not ratified, is not, and cannot be law.
It is a fraud worked upon the American people.
But just to teach everybody a good lesson here, let's pretend that it was.
Let's pretend that the 16th Amendment was properly ratified.
Let's pretend.
Okay?
We're going to pretend.
Just like we did when there were children in the backyard.
I want to be the cowboy.
What do you want to be?
We are now pretending that the 16th Amendment was actually properly ratified.
We're also going to pretend that the Supreme Court made no such rulings as those that I have just told you about.
Okay?
We're going to pretend that the 16th Amendment actually did do away with the prohibition against direct taxes in the Constitution.
We're going to pretend all of those things.
And now, remember, we're pretending that the 16th Amendment was properly ratified.
We're also pretending that the Supreme Court never made any of the rulings that I have so far discussed with you tonight.
And we're going to pretend that the 16th Amendment did actually do away with the prohibition against direct tax upon the citizens of the several states in the Constitution.
Now, I want somebody to call and tell me why the 16th Amendment cannot be used to make you file and pay the income tax.
I'm going to read it to you right now.
Article 16.
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes from whatever source derived without apportionment among the several states and without regard to any census or enumeration.
I want to hear from you.
Come on.
And it would be nice if the guy that called last night would call in and tell us.
You know?
Why we still can be required to file and pay the income tax?
You see, even with all of that given, the 16th Amendment will not work.
I want to know why.
I want one of you brilliant people out there to call me and tell me why.
If nobody can tell me why by the end of the broadcast, I'll tell you why.
How about that?
I'll tell you why.
And then you will realize, without any doubt whatsoever, how totally dumbed down the American people have become, including most of you.
Hail, hail, rock and roll!
Long live rock and roll!
Rock, rock, rock and roll!
Hail, hail, rock and roll!
The number is 520-333-4578.
That's 520-333-4578.
The numbers 520-333-4578.
That's 520-333-4578.
The phones are open.
Come on, you guys are telling me how, you know, I'm so mistaken about the mentality
You always tell me how smart you are, how wrong I am about you.
You must have the answer.
How come the phone's not ringing?
520-333-457. Come on, all you smart people out there, call me.
520-333-4570.
I'm not going to be a fool.
I'm going to town.
You finally lay your burden down.
I'm nobody's fool.
I'm nobody's crown.
Well, bust your books, get out of your seat.
Take your plan and hit the beat.
Down the hall and into the street.
I can't think sooner on my knees.
Up to the corner round the bend.
I can't wait to tell no one.
Right to the truth or do you go again?
I'm here because it's me, buddy.
It's not the corn that he would like.
Good evening.
You're on the air.
I hope you've got the answer.
Dale Cooper.
Yes, sir.
I don't know that this is the exact answer.
Probably isn't, but it's probably relevant.
This IRS thing, they get their authority From House Resolution 13955.
That is part of the Brenton Woods Agreement Act, Section 24.
But it doesn't give them any authority whatsoever to require me or you to file and pay income taxes.
No, absolutely not.
Okay.
But they are actually, like you say, they are not supposed to operate outside the District
of Columbia.
And since they do...
And since they do...
Well, they can as long as they're within the jurisdiction of the federal government, which
can be territories.
It can be dockyards and ports and things that have action where the land has been not only deeded, but the jurisdiction has to be ceded by the state legislature in which state that property is located.
Well, yeah, I would agree with that.
The one thing I did want to mention was that since they are operating outside of these jurisdictions, Yeah, you'll find they're not registered in your state either.
they are, they are violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938.
Yeah, and you'll find they're not registered in your state either.
Right, they're not registered and because of it, they are felonies.
That's a felony.
Yeah, they're agents of a foreign power.
That's right.
They're required to have that foreign agent registration.
Yeah, but you know you're making this too difficult.
The answer is real simple and I've already given it to you.
Well, okay.
I gave it to you right over this microphone tonight.
In fact, the young man who called last night gave you the answer.
But you see, people don't understand English anymore.
It's right there in front of your nose.
Okay, well I'll be listening for that.
I just wanted to make that comment and I really think you're doing a great job and I appreciate it and I'll just turn it back to whoever else.
Thank you.
Thanks for calling.
5-2-0-3-3-3-4-5-7-8.
Who's got the answers?
Right in front of you knows.
All of you.
Good evening, you're on the air.
Well, that's one of the reasons.
That's one of the reasons, but that's not the specific reason that I'm getting at.
But that is one reason, yes.
Hardly anybody in this In fact, no actual living man or woman has an income.
The Supreme Court has ruled that the definition of income is corporate profit.
Okay, well that's a good guess, but it's not what I'm trying to get at.
I'm trying to get at the 16th Amendment here.
Why doesn't the 16th Amendment apply, aside from income or anything like that?
Thanks for calling.
You were right in what you said.
Thank you.
5-2-0-3-3-3-4-5-7-8.
Thanks for calling.
yet you were absolutely correct good evening your honor
Hi Bill.
My name is Martha.
Hi Martha.
My husband just hollered down to me from upstairs and wanted me to give you a ring and let you know that the answer is income because income in the law is not what people suppose it is.
Well that's true, but that's not what I'm trying to get at.
Okay.
It's so obvious.
It just sticks out like a sore thumb right there.
If you look at the 16th Amendment, it's right there staring right at you.
But you're right, just like the last caller, she was right.
Income is a reason, and it's a legitimate reason, the Supreme Court has ruled that income is corporate profit.
I don't make any income, do you?
No.
No, of course not.
So thanks for calling.
You were correct.
520-333-4578.
You see people, you're all escaping the obvious.
Income doesn't even come into the question if you understand how to read and understand English.
Good evening, you're on the air.
Hello, Bill.
This is Dave in Florida.
Sop choppy Dave.
Yeah, sop choppy Dave.
I just got something from you today.
I haven't opened it yet.
Oh, yeah.
Don't worry.
I always glue it solid.
I know.
Sometimes it's hard to get into.
Well, I gotta do that because once you send a picture back to me and somebody split the envelope with a razor blade.
Oh, no.
Oh yeah.
That question you got there, if I'm not mistaken, that amendment, most of the states didn't sign it, or they didn't have representatives there.
Yeah, but we're pretending that they did.
Oh, I see.
We're pretending that it was properly ratified.
Right.
We're pretending that it did do away with the prohibition against direct taxes in the Constitution.
And we're pretending the Supreme Court never passed any of the rulings that I talked about saying that it applies only to excise taxes and that it did not give the Congress any new powers to tax.
We're pretending that none of that applies.
Right.
Even though none of that applies, why still will it not work?
Well, you have the Boston Tea Party.
We don't have representation.
Okay.
Well, just keep listening.
Okay.
Bye.
Bye.
It's right there, folks.
It's right in front of your nose.
If you've got a copy of the 16th Amendment, all you have to do is look at it.
It's staring you in the face.
If it could move, it'd slap you.
Good evening.
You're on the air.
Yes.
Hello, Bill Cooper.
Yes.
I could tell you all about the fact that, which I'm sure you know, that, let's see, this is the 16th, right?
Yeah.
No, no.
We're pretending that it was properly ratified.
No problem there.
I've explained this four times now.
I'm not going to explain it again.
You guys either listen to the radio and understand what we're doing, or it's just another indication
that you don't understand English.
I understand English.
I don't think Congress shall ever have the power to lay and collect taxes on income.
Isn't that obvious?
Pardon?
Isn't it that obvious?
No, you're not getting it either.
You're not getting it.
That's right.
What does that mean?
Go back and read it again and tell me what does it mean?
what does that mean go back and read it again tell me what does it mean
the congress yeah representatives of the people
shall have power to lay and collect taxes on income what does that mean
uh... that means that they shall uh... from the point forward
of the uh...
uh...
sixteenth amendment uh... was resolution of congress
You're lost.
You're lost.
From that point forward... You don't have it.
You don't have it.
But they'll be able to lay and collect taxes.
That's exactly what it says.
That's right.
How come you don't get it yet?
Are you getting at the legal terminology of late taxes?
No!
It's so damn simple it's pathetic and when you find out what it is you're going to knock yourself in the head because it's absolutely ridiculous that you can't read and understand English.
And it's not just you.
It's a condition that infects this entire country right now.
But see, you're saying that in the statement Congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes.
It's not as simple as the fact that Congress does not and will never have that power because they're representatives of people.
What I'm getting to has nothing to do with that.
You're making it too complicated.
That's too complicated?
Yeah, it's too complicated.
You're making it way too complicated.
The answer's simple.
It's right in front of your nose.
Gotta let you go.
Let somebody else try.
Thanks for calling.
He's mad.
And he should be.
Because he had the answer.
He read it to me.
And he still didn't understand what he read.
Good evening.
You're on the air.
Hi, Bill.
I think I've got the answer for you.
The 16th Amendment, even if it was properly ratified, and even if it meant that Congress has the power to tax income, still would be basically toothless because of the 5th Amendment.
No, not unless they required you to fill out a tax return.
Okay, well in that case the 5th Amendment is the reason why I know for certain that I'm not required to file.
That's right, but the 16th Amendment does not require you to file.
It just says the Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes.
That's true, but filing is an integral part of that.
You're making it too difficult.
The answer's staring you right in the face and you can't see it.
You can't see it.
I thought I had the answer.
Nope.
Well, let me hang up and give somebody else a try.
Okay, thanks for calling.
Thanks very much.
Thanks for calling.
This is a hard lesson, but once it sinks in, you're going to be very happy that you got it.
Good evening.
You're on the air.
Yes, Bill.
I was thinking that it might be because an act of Congress only applies to Washington, D.C.
and federal properties and things like that.
And if you're a citizen of a state, then you're not covered by an act of Congress.
This doesn't say anything about the states.
This applies, the 16th Amendment, if it were ratified, applies legitimately to what it's talking about.
Well, uh, people aren't corporations unless they're not selling anything.
That's not what I'm getting at.
You're missing the whole thing.
You just said it, and you didn't even hear yourself say it.
You don't understand exactly what it is that's going on here.
Alright, show's over.
Thanks for calling.
520-333-4570.
This is very interesting, folks.
When you hear the correct answer, and I hope, I really, truly hope it comes from the listening audience and not from me.
Good evening, you're on the air.
Hi, Bill.
Hi.
Hi, Dave.
Hi, Dave.
How you doing?
Good.
Good.
Would it be that Congress isn't collecting the taxes, the IRS is?
Well, that's exactly correct, but why isn't Congress collecting the taxes?
You're so close to the answer, you could reach out and, you know, stroke it, make it purr.
Why isn't Congress collecting the taxes?
Why isn't Congress involved in this?
Because the IRS isn't a part of the government.
Well, that's true too, but this gives Congress the power to lay and collect taxes.
Why aren't they doing it?
You've got the answer.
It's right there.
I'll think about it for a minute.
I'll let somebody else get on.
Okay, thanks for trying.
You were the closest so far.
5-2-0-3-3-3-4-5-7-8 is the number.
Good evening, you're on the air.
Good evening, Mr. Cooper.
This is Kevin in Northwest Indiana.
Hi, Kevin.
I hope you've got the answer.
Well, I think I do, sir.
I think it's the fact that the words shall and to are future tense, and the Congresses will only have in the future, and they do not have present tense jurisdiction to do that.
Well, when the amendment was made, correct.
And as long as Congress doesn't do a certain thing, you're also correct.
But that's not what I'm getting at either.
You're also very close.
Okay, thank you.
Thanks for calling.
520-333-4570.
I hope one of you get it.
Don't stop trying.
Good evening, you're on the air.
William, this is Clarence from North Carolina.
Hi, Clarence.
I believe it's the problem with apportionment.
No, we're going to pretend that that's okay.
Remember, we said we're pretending that this amendment did away with the prohibition against direct taxes in the Constitution.
Oh, they can't do it in the several states.
We're pretending they can't.
Okay.
We're playing let's pretend.
Pretending that they can do all of those things.
Just like the guy last night alleged, why still cannot they do it?
Well, I miss it.
I let somebody else have a shot.
Okay, thanks for calling.
Once again, folks, we're pretending that this amendment's okay.
Good evening, you're on the air.
Hello?
Hello, Bill.
Yes?
My name's Harold.
Hi, Harold.
I think I understand what you're talking about.
What is it?
The way it means to make an assessment.
Does it not?
Yes, it does.
Well, Congress doesn't make the assessment, but there's something else they would have to do first before they could even make the assessment that they haven't done.
They would have to declare a tax, wouldn't they not?
You're closer than anybody so far.
What's stopping you from saying what this says?
They're not telling me what the tax is.
Nope, sorry.
Okay, thank you.
Thanks for calling.
You guys are dancing all around this.
You can't read and understand English.
Why not?
What does Congress do?
What do they have to do before this can work?
Good evening.
You're on the air.
Hi.
Is it that, uh, passing a law that they can lay a tax is one thing?
Absolutely.
Making an amendment to the Constitution just means that they have the power to do it, but if they don't exercise the damn power, it means absolutely nothing, and Congress has never passed a law requiring me to file and pay an income tax.
It would be an executive function anyway to collect the tax.
To collect it?
But Congress still has to pass a law to implement the amendment.
Do you understand?
Right.
Only Congress has the power.
What does Congress do?
They legislate.
If they don't legislate, nothing can happen.
Why is America so damn stupid about these things?
It says right here, the Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes.
But they never passed the law.
They never passed the law.
Who made up the law as to who's subject to the income tax?
And who has to file and who has to pay?
Well, there isn't a law.
The Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service wrote it into the regulations.
It's not law.
Right.
Never has been law.
He has no power to do it.
That's absolutely correct.
Now, don't you all feel really dumb out there?
You call yourself Americans.
You think you know how this country works.
You can't even read and understand English?
You don't know how the Congress works?
And I got this dumb jerk calling in last night... DUMBER THAN DIRT MAN!
...reads me an amendment and tells me that's why I gotta file and pay income tax.
Well, he was ridiculous.
He wouldn't even engage in an intelligent conversation.
No, but that's the way most people are.
They think I owe them something, and they think they've got it down pat.
The truth is, they can't find their way to the bathroom.
Unfortunately.
Can't argue with that.
You get the gold star for the night, my friend.
Okay, nice talking to you.
Thank you.
I'm so glad that one member of this audience got it right.
Because that means somebody out there is thinking, if nobody in this audience had got it tonight, I'd go to bed really deeply afraid tonight.
Thanks for calling.
Okay, bye.
That was like pulling teeth.
Why was it like pulling teeth?
What the hell is going on in this country?
It's like nobody went to school!
Hail, Hail, Rock and Roll!
Long live Rock and Roll!
Rock, Rock, Rock and Roll!
Hail, Hail, Rock and Roll!
Up in the morning and after school, the teacher is teaching the golden rule.
American history practicing the math.
You're studying hard, you're hoping to pass.
Working your fingers right down to the bone.
The guy behind you won't see you at all.
Ring, ring, goes the bell.
The cook in the lunchroom is ready to sell.
The russian that you can find for free.
It's what you listen to at five fifteen Back in the classroom, open the book
Man, you think you don't know how many books Soon as we act like roving lads
I'll be in the room so smart You'll finally lay your burden down
I'm nobody's fool, I'm nobody's clown So tuck your book, get out of your seat
It's the plan, you're good to go Down the hall and into the street
I hear them shoes are on my feet.
Up to the corner, round the bend.
I hear them footsteps, don't know why.
Like shoes that shoot drugs, you go in.
I'm here, I guess it's me or me.
Cross the corner and you're gone.
You gotta hear somethin' that's really hot.
With the ones you love, you're makin' romance.
Oh, they don't even want to dance.
Good evening.
You're on the air.
Bill.
Yeah.
I heard the guy come up with the right answer.
I took a course in law.
I don't want to mention a name unless you don't mind.
He says that if there's no statute in law, then it can't be, can't be a, there's no, there's no regulation.
Regulation has to be backed up by a statute, and a statute is a law, and of course only Congress can pass laws.
That's correct.
Not the judiciary.
Yeah, and if it's an act of Congress, what does it apply to?
If it's an act upon Congress, it applies to the Washington D.C.
Only applies to the jurisdiction of the federal government, not just Washington, D.C.
Territories, dockyards, ports, any property where the land has been deeded, but not just deeded, has to be jurisdiction ceded by the legislature in which that property sits.
That was a good question.
Well, you know, the guy, thank the dumber than dirt man who called in last night.
Thought he was so cool and smart.
I heard that, so I'm glad.
I wish I could help you and your loved ones.
I wish I'd have missed it.
Thanks for calling.
520-333-4570.
Don't you all just feel a little bit dumb tonight?
No?
You should.
And you can get mad at me if you want.
You can put my picture on the wall and throw eggs at it.
Whatever you want.
Just as long as you stop being dumb.
You can hate my guts for the rest of my life if you want.
Just as long as you stop being dumb.
Good evening, you're on the air.
Hello.
Yeah.
I couldn't hear your question quite that well, but I've got a lot of static on my radio.
Well, then you'll need to get the tape, because I'm not going to rehash it.
OK.
OK?
It's concerning the 16th Amendment, though, right?
Yeah.
Whether or not it could have been properly ratified.
No, no, no, no.
Get the tape.
We're not going to rehash it.
If you didn't hear the program, I'm not going to spend the last ten minutes of the broadcast explaining it to you.
I just wanted to say there's some cases that the Supreme Court has cited on this.
No, no, no.
That doesn't apply to tonight's broadcast.
OK, I'm sorry.
That's OK.
5-2-0-3-3-3-4-5-7-8.
It's okay, you know.
You're not dumb if you can't hear the broadcast, but I'm just not going to rehash it.
Good evening, you're on the air.
Uh, yes, hearsay.
Hearsay what?
Information gripped from another.
Yeah.
This is Edgar from Marylandville.
Yeah.
I have a number for you.
No, no, no, no, no.
Forget that.
Don't call my show and give out numbers over the air.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I don't know what you're promoting.
I don't know what you're selling.
I don't know what the number that you're giving out is.
I don't know what it is.
I don't play those games.
Okay?
Don't even try it.
It doesn't work.
520-333-4578 is the number.
Good evening.
You're on the air.
I wish you guys would not just waste my time.
You know, we pay for this air time.
Don't do that silly crap.
Go ahead.
Bill, Gary, Tennessee.
Hi, Gary.
Thanks for taking my call.
You're welcome.
This may be the dumbest call of the night.
With the 16th Amendment, and I heard the answer and I appreciate the answer, didn't you say something last night, too, about they should have repealed the section on direct taxes before they implemented that?
Yeah.
So that sort of makes it a wash, too, right?
Absolutely.
But for tonight's problem, we were pretending that they did.
I understand.
I just wanted to, you know, sort of building up a litany of information here, so.
I just sort of rehash it.
I remember last night's call, you said that was another problem with it.
Yeah, well there's lots of problems with it.
Alright, okay.
Thanks for taking my time, McCall.
You're welcome.
See ya.
520-333-45... lots of problems with it.
You know?
Lawyers are not taught this stuff in law school.
You know why?
Because they don't want lawyers to go out and properly argue the case against the income tax.
And lawyers become judges.
They don't want judges sitting on the bench that know that the income tax is unconstitutional, unlawful, and can't be applied to the citizens who live within the territorial boundaries of the states and don't work for the federal government.
Good evening, you're on the air.
Yes, good evening, Bill.
Victor Geraghty.
Hi.
Yes, first I'd like to say I'm glad everything's okay in South Dakota.
I've got some friends at Rosebud Reservation.
Everything's fine up there.
Unless something has happened during this broadcast that none of us know about.
Yeah, nothing's going on.
They have a little tribal spat there and it's being handled by the tribe.
But there's fools out there claiming that the feds in there and the army's there and they're all dressed up in their ninja suits and they're gonna go in and kill everybody and they got the place surrounded and... Bullshit, boring, liars, children, sandbox time.
Sure they would.
They're your friends.
Sure they would.
Well, we don't.
Like I said, there's lots of problems.
But what I wanted to get across tonight was just the fact that people can't even read and understand English.
They think they know how the government operates.
They think they know and understand English, but they don't.
And you didn't call in with the answer either.
Right?
Right.
Okay.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
No, I won't stroke you, folks.
I will not do that.
You know, if you need stroking, go to your mommy.
I'm your daddy.
And I don't like being your daddy.
I wish that you would grow up so I wouldn't have to be.
Good evening, you're on the air.
Bill Cooper.
Yes, sir.
This is Bill from Illinois.
Hi, Bill.
Yeah, why are they?
Well, there's a thing called schooling.
We haven't been educated.
Yeah, but that does not interfere with the God-given power to think.
If man did not have the power of original thought on his own, and the ability to distinguish fact from fiction, the entire human race would have never reached this point.
They would have died out thousands of years ago.
There's a thing about the type of compulsory education, what they call education, which isn't.
If you look at a little bit of the history, you see how that Prussian system of education was established to control the Prussian people after the Battle of Jena in the early 1800s.
It was specifically so that people wouldn't be educated.
They worked a mind control program on them.
Let me ask you something.
How come it don't work on me?
Well, where were you educated?
Around the world, weren't you?
I was educated by American teachers and American schools on military bases in foreign countries.
See, you weren't subjective.
You weren't the victim of the programming that the rest of us were.
How do you know that?
They were American teachers!
They were American teachers!
We can tell.
That you didn't accept all the programs.
That's right.
I didn't accept it.
It's not that they didn't give it to me.
It's the fact that I have a brain and I looked at it and rejected it.
Why can't anybody else do that?
Well, okay.
I'm going to give you a little challenge to research.
I think of one of these teachers that got one of these awards in New York from the ghetto a couple years back.
A guy named John.
I've already researched the history of the destruction of the education system in this country.
When he went to accept the award, he landed out of the line.
He doesn't teach anymore now, but if you search his name out on the internet, you'll get all
the history of education stuff.
I've already researched the history of the destruction of the education system in this
country.
My question is, what keeps the American people from thinking on their own?
Well, they're just, this education system...
That's an excuse, my friend.
Everybody has a brain.
God gave us a brain.
Use it!
And stop looking for crutches and excuses.
Good night, folks.
God bless each and every single one of you.
Good night, Annie, Pooh, and Allison.
I love you.
I gotta tell you, folks, my daughter could have answered that question if she had been here.
And if you don't believe that, ask some of the people who knew her when she was here.
And she's only eight years old.
I was born to make you happy.
I think you're just my style.
Everywhere I go, Telling everyone I know, Baby, I love to see you smile.
Don't wanna take a trip to China.
Don't wanna sail up the Nile.
Don't wanna get too far from where you are.
Cause I love to see you smile.
I'm where you are, cause I love to see you smile.
In the summer, in the springtime, winter or fall, The only place I want to be, is where I can see you,
smiling.
you Like a chick without a budget.
Like a watch without a dial.
What would I do If I didn't love you, I'd hardly see you today
I'd be a fool to think that I'd be the one to love you I'd be a fool to think that I'd be the one to love you
I'd be a fool to think that I'd be the one to love you I'd be a fool to think that I'd be the one to love you
I'd be a fool to think that I'd be the one to love you In the summer, in the springtime
you In the winter or the fall, the only place I wanna be is where I can see your smile on me.
In a world that's full of trouble, you make it all worthwhile.
What would I do if I didn't love you?
Oh, I love to hear you cry.
Hmm, I love to hear you smile.
I'm a little too serious, aren't I?
I know.
You're listening to 101.1 FM Eager, classic radio like you always wished it could be.
And tonight was a classic broadcast, whether you recognize that or not.
Get your heads out of your collective you-know-whats.
Stop being sheeple and become real people.
If that makes you mad at me, that's good, as long as it makes you mad enough to stop it.
Stop it.
Just stop it.
That's the only thing that'll make me happy.
OK?
I don't care if you like me.
I'm not looking for popularity ratings.
I don't care how many people are listening.
I just flat don't care.
If we don't save freedom, if we don't save this country, we're history.
And you better damn well understand that right now.
