Austin Police Chief Art Alcivedo joins Jemele to discuss the recent shooting of Kevin Brown, the lack of transparency in the police department, and his philosophy on accountability and transparency. Chief Alcivedos is a proud father of 3 kids, a husband, and a police chief in a major city as young as Austin, Texas.
00:01:04.000Well, it's great to have you in studio with us today.
00:01:08.000Just out of the gate, instead of reading your lengthy bio, tell us a little bit about yourself, because this is an international audience, obviously, not just in Austin.
00:01:39.000I think being a cop is really about dealing with people, and if you can deal with people who have people skills, you can be very successful at policing.
00:01:47.000Now obviously, you've got courage coming into the lines down here.
00:01:51.000Well, hey, I frisked you down, I don't see any weapons on you, so words can't kill you, I hope.
00:01:58.000No, no, listen, listen, we have always wanted a relationship with the police.
00:02:02.000You know, I don't like the fact, and I've probably been bad in the past, bashing police too much, and that kind of compacts police into their own little culture, instead of having the public and the police interface.
00:02:11.000And I know that since you've gotten in, you've done a lot of things I've actually really agreed with, some things I've disagreed with, and really have been interfacing with the media, the public.
00:02:20.000I mean, you've got to be the hardest working police chief I've ever seen living in Austin for the last 18 years.
00:02:51.000Out of the gate, though, tell us about your philosophy before we go to this break in just a moment.
00:02:55.000Your philosophy versus some of your predecessors.
00:02:59.000Well, my philosophy, I think, is transparency and accountability are the two most important things to me.
00:03:04.000If we're transparent, I really believe we have a pretty darn good department, so why not be transparent?
00:03:08.000And why not put the good, the bad, and the ugly out there?
00:03:11.000Because by doing that, people start realizing that we have nothing to hide and they can actually trust us.
00:03:17.000And I think in the past we really haven't engaged as an organization, the community, the media, your critics.
00:03:23.000Some people run away from activists, I actually run towards them, because I want to know what they have to say and I want them to know what I feel, what I believe, so at least we can have that mutual respect.
00:03:57.000But I think if people know your heart and they know that you actually care and that you're trying to do the right thing, they may not agree with you, but at least they'll respect the fact that you're trying and that your heart's in the right place, which is important.
00:04:09.000And you've done some other things that have been good.
00:04:13.000And I've been happy to see police and the union not attacking you as much because they understand that if they don't clean house, it's just going to be downhill.
00:04:24.000The reality is we don't have that much cleaning to do.
00:04:26.000The majority of our cops are really hard-working, dedicated professionals, but it doesn't take more than one or two or three or a handful to really diminish the excellence and destroy the excellence in the bridges that we're building.
00:04:38.000I'll tell you what, we're going to break.
00:04:45.000On the average, Americans work between 45 to 50 years hoping to build up enough wealth to retire and live out their golden years.
00:04:59.000Unfortunately, with taxation, the rising cost of food, energy, housing, and medical, many retirees are forced to live below the poverty line.
00:05:07.000Is this a flaw of free enterprise, or is our monetary unit we call the Federal Reserve Note forcing us into perpetual debt, ensuring inflation and higher taxes?
00:05:15.000These questions and more can be answered by reading G. Edward Griffin's book, The Creature from Jekyll Island.
00:05:21.000Congressman Ron Paul states it's what every American needs to know about central bank power.
00:05:26.000A gripping adventure into the secret world of international banking cartel.
00:06:01.000Truth Rising is a breakthrough 9-11 film that finally gives first responders a platform to tell their story.
00:06:08.000Whitman, EPA Director, On the 18th made a statement that the air was safe to breathe.
00:06:17.000This film follows the growing momentum of 9-11 Truth as brave souls throughout the world take action against their global masters.
00:06:24.000He had his hand over the radio while he was getting a countdown.
00:06:27.000He takes his hand off and you hear 3, 2, 1 and it was boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
00:06:33.000This is an emergency transmission worldwide.
00:06:36.000Download Truth Rising at PrisonPlanet.tv and aggressively spread it worldwide or order the DVD at I am at a gathering of friends, minding my own business, when one of our buddies, Bob, walks up to me, very concerned, and he says, Wow!
00:06:59.000Have you seen the gasoline prices lately?

00:09:06.000We have lots of lights, a little bit of room.
00:09:08.000I like the padding, you know, so when you get rough with me, I know I'm not going to hurt myself too badly.
00:09:13.000You know, I'm surprised that you didn't bring a whole entourage with you.
00:09:18.000Because other awesome police chiefs I've noticed would normally have an entourage, and then guys out in the parking lot.
00:09:23.000I've worked at a few of the radio stations doing my show out of there, and the police chiefs would be coming on other shows sometimes, and you'd see guys in the parking lot looking around.
00:09:34.000I brought Ana Sabam, she's our public information manager, and I think that it's important for her to meet the folks out here in the media so you can have a relationship with our office.
00:09:43.000Okay, let's get into the tough questions in this short segment.
00:09:45.000We've got a long one coming up after the next break.
00:09:55.000It's all part of this larger NORTHCOM grid.
00:09:57.000You have the emergency management centers.
00:09:58.000Where they're bringing in the National Guard, threat assessment, threat matrix systems, this whole NORTHCOM grid.
00:10:05.000The last police you've actually interviewed in person was the police chief of San Antonio, Allie Philippus, when Delta Force tried to bribe him and ended up in the paper to run covert operations in the city.
00:10:15.000Well, I think any technology, it's not the technology that is bad or evil or anything else, it's how you use it.
00:10:23.000License plate readers are a good tool when you're looking for, on an AMBER Alert, a partial plate on a kid that's been kidnapped, you can actually program that system.
00:10:31.000Let's say it's 123 SAM, and all you have is 123, and it'll spit out any car, it'll identify, here's a car that you're looking for.
00:10:39.000So, it helps us in terms of finding wanted vehicles and recovering stolen cars.
00:10:45.000With that said, if we bring it here, it's solely for our local law enforcement use and nothing else.
00:10:51.000But those grids, those grants are paid for by the Feds, and if you'd like me to give you documents, I can.
00:10:55.000They're also feeding into that with NSA technology.
00:11:29.000I'm always hearing about our police being sent to Israel, or Israel coming over here, or our police being sent to Japan, to Tokyo, and then their officers can come over here and pick people up.
00:11:39.000Well, what these are, some of those programs, actually exchange programs, where you actually go and look at some of their tactics in terms of security.
00:11:46.000I actually went on one myself where basically it was a tour of their facilities and just to learn from their experiences in terms of terrorism and things of that nature, but we have not had any delegation here that I'm aware of.
00:12:05.000I've got a film I made six years ago, so you may not be aware of the specifics of what I'm talking about, but I'm sure you are.
00:12:11.000The programs where the Austin police enroll the children with a $200 discount credit card, and they get the $200 for turning people in, reporting on drugs, crime, but they also tell them to go home and what's in the medicine cabinet.
00:12:38.000If it's going on, somebody needs to tell me where and when so I can look into that.
00:12:41.000I would not be in favor of a program of that sort.
00:12:44.000Well, what I'm going to do is we're going to go over this interview, and in a few months, I know you're a busy man, I'd like to have you back in.
00:12:48.000And I will have all the documents on each issue, and I will play the video of the Austin TV ad that they show inside the schools, where it told the kids, you know, you're going to get $200 for whoever you turn in.
00:13:01.000And then they have the children write essays about what's going on in their home life.
00:13:05.000Like I said, what happened back then I can't attest to, but I can tell you that we don't have a program like that today, and I would not be in favor of a program like that.
00:14:01.000What's happened, Alex, that a lot of folks, if they refuse a blood test, okay, that we need to get that evidence, a lot of hospitals don't want to take the blood for the department without a consent from the suspect because they don't want the liability.
00:14:17.000The Travis County Sheriff's Department is now talking to us that their nurses aren't going to draw blood for us anymore.
00:14:21.000They don't want their nurses to have to go to court and be tied up.
00:14:25.000So what's happened is we've got to look at how can we get evidence that we need of a crime that's been committed.

00:17:51.000Art Acevedo, Austin Police Chief, is our guest for the rest of the hour.
00:18:19.000I got intimidated by police that have been given federally paid for Darth Vader uniforms that aren't wearing badges.
00:18:24.000And you were talking earlier about seeing video of me on the web or TV or something where I'm going up to the police downtown who are in their riot gear and I'm just wanting to see their badges.
00:19:05.000I mean, now they're wearing the old-fashioned, nice, fancy, respectable uniforms, not like goon outfits, and they're driving black and whites, and you've got their badge numbers and a big badge.
00:19:14.000And a big badge, so there's no doubt, and it's not a generic badge, and you know what?
00:19:17.000We've got some good police officers, they deserve better, and I think they deserve, they earn this privilege, because wearing this uniform, wearing this badge is a privilege they have to earn every day they come to work, and I think they've earned the privilege of wearing a unique symbol.
00:19:29.000Yeah, why have a lot of departments in the last 20 years gone into these maintenance uniforms?
00:19:32.000It looks like, you know, the maintenance guy at a university.
00:20:10.000And I want our citizens to know when they see a black and white that that's a police car, it's an Austin police car, and we're out there taking care of them.
00:20:16.000Alright, going back to the blood issue, you guys can say, well, this is nothing new, we're getting a warrant.
00:20:23.000In Illinois, Indiana, and in some areas of Texas, I've read that the police are taking it at night, out at the side of a road at a checkpoint, and that a lot of lawyers, and I've had the head of the Texas Bar on, are saying these aren't really real warrants that some of the cities have.
00:20:35.000It's a blank check warrant that basically the judges, just whatever's called in, are running with.
00:20:40.000Now, I haven't seen that claim with Austin, but still, there are concerns here about people who are hemophiliacs, people who are diabetics.
00:20:48.000I mean, I've had blood taken for insurance or whatever, and the nurse can't seem to find it herself, much less some cop at the side of the road.
00:20:59.000I like to watch and read what's going on in my city.
00:21:01.000And some of the comments were, I'm not going to have a bubba cop sit there on the side of the road, you know, give me liberty or give me death.
00:21:21.000I don't know if I'll be able to get it.
00:21:22.000But it is to train a handful of police officers as phlebotomists, that in an instance where we arrest somebody for driving under the influence, especially when they've killed somebody, or seriously injured or maimed somebody.
00:21:33.000Remember that we've killed almost 2,000 Texans a year with drunk driving.
00:21:36.000We're the hardest drinking city according to Forbes.
00:21:38.000No, no, we're worse than New Orleans now.
00:21:43.000Listen, out in south of Austin, I was driving by, they've got a liquor store bigger than a Super Walmart.
00:21:49.000Oh yeah, and so Alex, I see you're a father, I'm a father, we're out here driving on these streets and these roadways and there is carnage going on and this is nothing more than using a lawful, and it will only be done in a lawful manner, in a sanitary condition, in a secure location, with some checks and balances.
00:22:11.000They shut down all of 35 from Kyle out to Round Rock, literally cars going one mile an hour with police shining lights in people's eyes under a federal grant.
00:22:20.000Why would the feds want to give us this money that we've already paid foreign taxes to do that?
00:22:24.000I mean, are we going to see stuff like that?
00:22:58.000But the reality is, look, we have a responsibility to keep people alive, and we have a responsibility that when somebody kills somebody out there, seriously injures somebody, to hold them accountable.
00:23:06.000And I don't want people to think You've got to realize where I started my life.
00:23:10.000I started my life in a communist dictatorship, and I hope you don't say you like Fidel Castro, because those are fighting words with Cubans, okay?
00:23:16.000The reality is... Oh yeah, I'm a known communist.
00:24:07.000Sheriffs, police chiefs, all over the country have said that they pull over a van, say with 15 illegal aliens in it, none of them have IDs, none of them have insurance, some of them are drunk, they pick them up, they take them in, ICE won't pick them up, the judges in the city say, $50 fines, we don't have any ID, we're letting them go.
00:24:25.000The famous railway serial killer killed a bunch of people, been going around for years, couldn't be caught.
00:24:30.000You talk about tracking things and having accountability.
00:24:32.000Citizens are having their plates scanned, face scanned, controlled, police everywhere, children spying on us in the schools.
00:24:39.000But then meanwhile, I know for a fact in Austin, Texas, and I've had a bunch of Austin police tell me this, and it happened.
00:24:45.000One night I pulled up, At this office, and I see two police cars and the lights going about a year and a half ago, and I walk up and my IT guy, who's actually a contractor, is in handcuffs.
00:25:45.000Some of it may be their own perception.
00:25:49.000The reality is, when we take enforcement action, we base it on the statutes and the ordinances in the city, without regard to socioeconomic standing.
00:26:06.000What do you do when you don't know who somebody is, and there's been a stabbing, and you've got three witnesses, and it's hard to prosecute, because nobody knows who these people are?
00:26:15.000And also, then that victimizes these communities, because they're lawless.
00:26:29.000I think that most major city chiefs, that is actually a policy position of major city chiefs here in the country, is that we've got to secure our borders.
00:26:37.000The second part, though, is that we have to be serious about it, because here's the unintended consequence.
00:26:41.000If I become, actually it's an unfounded mandate for me to be doing ICE's work or immigration's work.
00:26:49.000If there is a revolving door where three days after you get them, if we became an arm of immigration, they're going to be right back.
00:26:58.000What can happen is that we lose the trust of that community that's going to be here, and we lose witnesses, we lose victims, and we all lose.
00:27:07.000I have friends that work for the federal government in California, in Southern California, that used to be frustrated that they'd take people down on the bus And the joke was that the people that were deported beat the bus back to downtown L.A.
00:27:20.000They also kill police, federal police.
00:27:49.000Well, again, our official position here is that if you break the law, if you violate the law, we're going to treat you the same, whether you're legal or illegal, you're going to go to jail.
00:27:58.000So what do you do when you pull an illegal alien over who's driving a car and they don't have insurance?
00:28:03.000I mean, how do you write them a ticket if you don't know who they are?
00:28:05.000Well, if you cannot reasonably identify who a person is, then you take them forthwith and get them identified.
00:28:11.000So you are taking people to jail who you don't know who they are?
00:28:15.000Our policy allows our officers that if you cannot identify a person, you can go forthwith.
00:28:24.000I mean, yeah, but the police are encouraged to go out and write tickets and generate revenue on the almost broke-back city, even though we're a wealthy city.
00:28:30.000But meanwhile, you see, I mean, look, let's be honest, Chief.
00:28:34.000You know and I know there's a double standard.
00:28:36.000There's a double standard to 867 sanctuary cities, and Austin is on the map as one of the worst in the country after L.A., Denver, Chicago.
00:28:43.000We've got a Mexican consulate, our mission here, which hands out these Cracker Jack... The consular matricula.
00:28:52.000I mean, I had the leader of the Republican Senate on a few years ago, he in one day himself, went and got four fake IDs from a Mexican consulate.
00:29:00.000Well, it is a challenge, but you know, the problem for us as police officers at a local level is policing a community that we know is here and policing a community that, you know, we don't control the borders.
00:29:13.000We have to control what's in our city.
00:29:16.000And I think some of the frustration is that the reality is the way that you deal with immigration is you dry up jobs, you dry up some of those opportunities, people wouldn't come here illegally.
00:29:27.000To me, if you're going to get serious, that's where you start, is with employers.
00:30:03.000I was sitting there with my hand wrapped up with it hanging by a piece of skin, and my dad, who's a physician there, saying he needs to get this attached fast.
00:30:15.000It was a Sunday full of poor people who were so poor they don't have insurance and then about half of them were, you know, because I was watching, they'd go up and they'd say, do you have insurance?
00:30:27.000And because they knew that they weren't going to have insurance but they needed to provide care, which I'm saying is good, they went right through.
00:30:33.000My point is the country is breaking down and we need to not give third world populations special status or it's going to destroy this country.
00:30:41.000I'm all for immigrants coming to this nation.
00:30:42.000I mean, you were born in Cuba, fleeing communism.
00:31:00.000We have people here that keep arguing we shouldn't arrest people that are committing burglaries, we can't keep the burglars, the rapists, all these other folks in jail because there's no jail space.
00:31:10.000If ICE isn't going to pick them up, then it kind of defeats the purpose of thinking if that's the only reason you're taking them there for it.
00:31:18.000The unintended consequences, if you have 10 million people here illegally, that you know if they get deported, they're going to probably be back within a few days because you know they know the routes, they know how to come back.
00:31:28.000We lose potentially 10 million witnesses to crime, 10 million.
00:31:33.000One of our kids gets kidnapped at the bus stop, and the little old lady that's the child care attendant for somebody that they hired... Now they're afraid to call the local cop, and they might be... The ambulance system actually works, I think you know that.
00:31:48.000And the West Coast has had a 100% recovery rate.
00:32:14.000So it has to be a comprehensive approach that starts with securing our border, making sure that people can only get jobs if they're here legally or serious about it.
00:32:22.000But it really is a federal issue that they've got to be the ones that take the lead on it.
00:32:26.000Well, Chief Acevedo, I agree with a lot of what you're saying about how it should be federal, about how it should be enforced against employers.
00:32:33.000It's very hypocritical to arrest these immigrants and treat them bad.
00:32:38.000And believe me, I know how bad Mexico is.
00:32:39.000In Mexico City, 30 million people, half of them living in cardboard boxes.
00:32:44.000The problem is this country is like a lifeboat that will pull the boat completely down if we just say unlimited and the crime and then give them a double standard.
00:32:51.000And I understand this rationale, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
00:32:56.000And to just say we have to have this interface with the community and so we have to go with kid gloves.
00:33:03.000I'm saying there's not kid gloves with me because I'm seen as the big fat milk cow.
00:33:07.000I'm seen as the dumb American driving around in their SUV.
00:33:13.000Trust me, you're not seen as a dumb guy.
00:33:14.000You're seen as a very bright, articulate, well-informed individual.
00:33:26.000Plain devil's advocate to your position.
00:33:29.000If I get involved and just start asking people for your papers solely for the reason to see if they're here legally or not, and they get deported and three days later they're back, And now that same person in the future sees a crime as a victim of crime and they will no longer want to cooperate with me.
00:33:50.000I think there should be an amnesty in that if someone comes in to report a crime, it's policy and it's advertised that if you come in seeing a stabbing or a shooting or a robbery... That's a new visa.
00:34:03.000The Austin cops have told me, and I've sat around at bars and restaurants with them, I've got friends that are cops, I've worked out with cops, and they go, yeah, we're basically told and encouraged, we get in trouble, we get, you know, start getting demerits for other issues if we drag in a bunch of illegal aliens, and it's wrong, it's wrong!
00:34:18.000But you need to know something about cop culture.
00:34:22.000Cops sometimes talk out of school a lot, where they'll start telling you, and they're talking stories, they're talking shop, and you gotta take sometimes... Oh, now we can't believe the cops!
00:34:31.000You're mentioning bars, you're mentioning drinks, you know, next thing you know they got the biggest fish that they caught when they went fishing.
00:34:38.000You gotta take it with a little grain of salt when you're telling stories because there's a lot of urban legends and myths and everything else that goes into it.
00:34:44.000Police Chief R. Day Cervato, he is a slick one ladies and gentlemen.
00:34:49.000But the reality is, we will not, when my cop makes an unlawful arrest, I don't care if the person is legal or illegal, our position is we expect them to take the proper enforcement action, irregardless of the person's status.
00:35:55.000Clogged arteries, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol levels may not be fully detected by you, but the symptoms are there.
00:36:02.000Loss of energy, blood sugar spikes and drops, poor circulation, and irregular heartbeat are just a few of these that can alert you that something is wrong.

00:38:49.000American Free Press hits the Bilderbergers and Trilateralists and the whole Council on Foreign Relations gang head-on.
00:38:57.000Here's your chance to catch up with the news.
00:39:00.000Police Chief Art Acevedo is our guest for this segment and one more.
00:39:11.000We're really honored to have him with us.
00:39:14.000During the break we were having a really animated discussion.
00:39:16.000I said, hey, what I don't want is what you grew up in, in Cuba, what you fought to leave.
00:39:20.000And we're glad to have people who love freedom in this country.
00:39:23.000And our arms are totally open to that.
00:39:24.000And we need people that have experienced tyranny so they can fight against it here.
00:39:27.000But having children spy on their parents, it always starts out, oh, for drugs, or if you're being abused, or if you're this or you're that.
00:39:34.000I mean, I've gone and I've seen the abuses.
00:39:36.000I've seen CPS snatch people's babies and then lie on the forums because I was there and take them for adoption.
00:39:42.000I know that the system's gotten predatory and I'm sure you're a nice guy and a good guy and a smart guy and you see the good in what's happening.
00:39:49.000I see a lot of the bad and I know that we're becoming more like a Cuba, more like a Soviet Union, more like East Germany, with the spying, the control, all of this, and it isn't for our security.
00:40:01.000I read the RAND Corporation documents.
00:40:03.000I know how they're federalizing departments.
00:40:15.000So, I'd like you to speak to that, Chief, and we appreciate you graciously coming in and being interrogated.
00:40:23.000Your allegiance stands with the state and the city, doesn't it?
00:40:26.000I mean, your allegiance stands with the Bill of Rights Constitution?
00:40:29.000That being that when we take our oath of office, we take an oath to the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of Texas, and my job is really, my number one concern is the welfare and the safety of the people that live, visit, and work in Austin.
00:40:48.000I mean, expanding on that though, we were privately talking about, you know, you're saying you don't want America to be a police state, you're saying you don't want it to be like Cuba.
00:40:54.000I don't want to paraphrase what you were saying.
00:40:57.000Well, I think that you have to, you don't ever want to be in a situation where, in Cuba, they want to know what your parents were thinking.
00:41:05.000Do they speak out against the government?
00:41:06.000We never want to be in that kind of place because, my father used to tell us when we got to this country, from here to the moon, there's no better place on earth and I would hope that... Now look at you now!
00:41:14.000Well, and you know, that's why I love this country.
00:41:18.000With all of our wards and everything, there's no other place I'd rather live than the United States of America.
00:41:22.000It's the greatest place on earth, and I'm hoping to... I agree, but I want to defend what it is.
00:41:27.000I mean, America is the Bill of Rights, Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and, you know, we're having our liberties taken, and there's always these good reasons, there's always these excuses, you know, there's always... I was talking to you during the break about the Tenth Amendment, and you were saying, well, the Civil War decided that.
00:41:42.000Well, yeah, and then Reconstruction decided that, but I mean, is there no end to the federal power?
00:41:47.000Well, you know, again, you're talking about the police chief here in Austin, Texas.
00:41:50.000I try to keep my focus on my local issues.
00:41:54.000I don't have anybody in the federal government dictating to me how to police this city, and the bottom line is that I work for the city leaders and for the people of the city of Austin, and my allegiance is obviously to my city and my country.
00:42:09.000One of them was a huge terror attack somewhere in the United States and they said that we have to implement PDD 51, basically making the president a dictator.
00:42:18.000What would you do then if they told you, you know, gave you a list, and they have these, it's been in the Houston Chronicle now, of 3,000 Austinites to be picked up and Alex Jones is on there.
00:42:26.000And there's no judge, no jury, no indictment, no grand jury, it's just go pick up Alex Jones.
00:42:31.000We'd say Alex Jones, we know him, we're going to vouch for him.
00:42:34.000But the reality is we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
00:42:51.000So, the bottom line is just remember, we are a local police department, we are a separate entity, and we will operate based upon what our own city statutes are and our requirements are.
00:43:05.000But we know that they've trained the police to drive the buses and pick up people during riots, and we know they have the emergency center out at the old airport, the overflow center.
00:43:13.000Is that still there with the bolts and chains on the floor?
00:43:16.000I haven't seen it since I've been here.
00:44:50.000Well, I have been interrogating I have been interrogating him, and I'd like to give him the last five minutes off Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo to talk about whatever he thinks is most important.
00:45:19.000To get out any websites or any points he's making.
00:45:21.000I would like to see other police chiefs across the country.
00:45:23.000We're on in Chicago, LA, San Diego, Kansas City, other places.
00:45:29.000If you want to come on this show, you are welcome.
00:45:32.000We'd love to hear from you here as well, because one thing that will fight tyranny is the people truly being involved in their government and being friends with the police, but not in a spy way, but in the way you're doing it.
00:45:45.000Well, yeah, and I think familiarity breeds trust and respect, and the reality is at least we know each other's positions and we don't have to agree on everything, but we can agree to disagree.
00:45:55.000So please don't take me to the FEMA camp.
00:45:58.000No, we have a special lock-up for you.
00:46:16.000Our goal, though, is that we don't want to be naive to think that things can't worsen for us in terms of crime if we don't stay on top of it.
00:47:01.000I would hope that your listeners would know that we're having a Police Activities League lock-up towards the end of the month here.
00:47:07.000They can go to our website at the Police Department and please support our Explorer program where kids can learn about being police officers, what that field is like.
00:47:17.000They can learn how to take me to a FEMA camp.
00:47:26.000But the reality is, we have got to invest in kids, Alex.
00:47:29.000You know that the kids are our future.
00:47:31.000We've got a lot of kids that their parents are working, nobody's ever around, they have no adult supervision, and in the Austin Police Department, through our Explorer Program and our Police Activities League, we want to make a difference in kids' lives, and I hope your listeners will contact us to help donate funds, and more importantly, maybe even help volunteer.
00:47:47.000And then, so you want my listeners, basically because they'll be spying on you, you know that, to come in and get involved with the department?
00:47:57.000That is the answer to take this government back.
00:47:59.000We have 60% on average people coming out for presidential elections, but 8% local elections nationally on average.
00:48:06.000We need to get that up to 80% locally, and if good people get involved in government, We're going to end up having the police chiefs, and the mayors, and the sheriffs, and then it's going to be our government.
00:48:15.000We have handed over our responsibility, turned it over to the feds, and I've told the listeners, that is the responsibility.
00:48:21.000If the people get involved and you know you're a good person, then that'll block the control freaks that are trying to get involved in government.
00:48:26.000We've let all the control freaks take over the government.
00:48:31.000You're starting to talk Texas there for a minute, with letting.
00:49:19.000I mean, the point is, let's stop completely trusting government as well, let's get involved in government.
00:49:23.000I want to skip this three minute break, so we have three more minutes with the Chief for PrisonPlanet.tv viewers, InfoWars.com listeners.
00:49:30.000Well, we're going to go ahead and go live during the break.
00:49:32.000For the AM and FM affiliates, we say bye to Chief Art Acevedo.
00:49:37.000Right now, we'll be back with Pastor Chuck Baldwin running for president of the Constitution Party on the other side of this break.
00:49:43.000But for those behind the scenes, we'll have three minutes left with Art Acevedo, the Austin Police Chief, who certainly is changing things.
00:50:04.000And again, this Sunday, 4 to 6 p.m., we're going to be rearing this on the syndicated show we do at a KLBJ.
00:50:08.000In the time we've got to close, I just want to pick your brain about this, because I looked it up and found out that police are dialing into Nexus Lexus databases and these threat databases, my friend, My dad, I sold him one of my cars, and he was driving back from our East Texas ranch a few weeks ago at night at about 10 o'clock.
00:50:27.000He gets pulled over and the cops wait back and they come over and they say, you're not Alex Jones.
00:50:32.000And this came up as Handle With Care, and I heard two legislatures ago, four years ago, that they wanted a database of you said things about police, what your view was of police.
00:51:20.000I don't know if you know this, but our crowd control team, the Darth Vader office, just remember, if it looks tough and at least we can get people to demonstrate, exercise their First Amendment rights without getting violent, I think we've won.
00:51:37.000I mean, their organizational model is protect the first.
00:52:30.000But the reality is, our primary Focus and mission when we're trying to find out what's going on with with a with a Demonstration is not to stop the demonstration.
00:52:42.000It's not to prohibit you or get in your way from exercising first-amendment rights It's to make sure we don't have somebody come in get in the middle of a bunch of peaceful Protesters and next thing you know they start throwing things at the cops and and things get ugly.
00:52:55.000We're coming back to the main transmission We'll we'll close it out here.
00:53:25.000They had feds dressed up like anarchists, attacked police.
00:53:28.000The cops didn't know to then stage that event.
00:53:30.000He's saying he's not going to have that In Austin.
00:53:33.000Just know the Fed boys are masters of that.
00:53:35.000And again, we just want to thank you for your honesty and your time.
00:53:38.000And I don't want to take any more of your time so you know the next time you come in I won't twist your arm into, you know, 50 minutes again.
00:53:48.000That is the Austin Police Chief leaving us, and we're going to go ahead and play the CNN piece about the HPV shots killing people that your young girls are taking.
00:53:55.000We told you a year ago it was killing you, now here it is on CNN.
00:53:58.000We know how to read the drug reports, you know, off their own website, and we have doctors and scientists and epidemiologists on, so here's a little three-minute clip on that.
00:54:06.000And then, John, come in with the other clip with Walter Cronkite saying he loves the devil.
00:54:12.000And then we'll, yeah, it's Walter Cronkite says he's a Satan worshipper.
00:54:39.000But Taqueria's mother says everything changed last December after her daughter received Gardasil, a vaccine that prevents 70% of cervical cancer.
00:54:57.000Two months after getting the shot, Taqueria says she got a rash on her face and arms, leaving these scars.
00:55:04.000She had swelling all over, pain in her joints, and poor circulation in her fingertips.
00:55:10.000Her doctor told us she now suffers from an autoimmune disease and says it is possible the Gardasil triggered her illness, though she made it clear the cause cannot be proven.
00:55:24.000According to a federal tracking system called VAERS, there have been 9,749 adverse reactions following the vaccination.
00:55:38.000I chose to get my daughter vaccinated.
00:55:41.000But Merck, Gardasil's maker, points out these are anecdotal cases.
00:55:45.000In a statement, company officials say it, quote, does not necessarily mean that the vaccine caused or contributed to the event.
00:55:54.000An official with the Centers for Disease Control says VAERS does not provide enough information for researchers to prove whether Gardasil caused any of the reported side effects.
00:56:05.000We want to have better data to reassure people.
00:56:10.000But again, the patterns and number of serious events looked at in VAERS do not suggest any increase in risk.
00:56:21.000Well, the CDC believes We are in process of developing a whole series of techniques which will enable the controlling oligarchy to get people actually to love their servitude.
00:56:40.000People can be made to enjoy a state of affairs which, by any decent standard, they ought not to enjoy.
00:56:49.000Perhaps you had better start from the beginning.
00:57:06.000Too many kids are what's making the planet worse.
00:57:09.000A lot of these kids come from bad gene pools.
00:57:11.000They don't have stable parents making good decisions.
00:57:16.000Mercury-containing vaccines may help not harm kids, according to two new studies in the journal Pediatric.
00:57:22.000These new studies suggest that the opposite, that the preservatives may actually be associated with improved behavior and mental performance.
00:57:29.000Fluoride in water is supposed to fight tooth decay, but could it also cause cancer?
00:57:34.000Turns out the government had the right, under U.S.
00:57:37.000law, to conduct secret testing on the American public under specific conditions.
00:57:41.000We have to work the dark side, or we're gonna spend time in the shadows.
00:57:45.000Any attempt to achieve world order must be the work of the devil.
