Alex Jones Show - Alex Jones on Jeff Davies Show

00:00:00.000 Some neighbor tattles, like the Nazis like, or the Stasi or whatever.

00:00:06.000 That's a very important element to all of this.

00:00:08.000 And we're seeing this now on many different types of issues.

00:00:12.000 Yeah, well, that was the excuse.

00:00:13.000 Where they encourage people to tattle on it.

00:00:14.000 The excuse in the paper is that the people are asking for this.

00:00:17.000 And you'll see Mr. Ellingson's lawn.

00:00:20.000 There's no problem.

00:00:21.000 He didn't even mess with it.

00:00:22.000 He didn't change it.

00:00:22.000 He didn't do anything to it.

00:00:23.000 I drove by the day he faxed it to me two Thursdays ago, the day after he got it, like on July.

00:00:29.000 On the 17th I drove by.

00:00:30.000 He got the notice on July 16th.

00:00:33.000 And I literally fell out of my vehicle almost when I drove by on West 37th because it's right off there and there's no problem.

00:00:42.000 And then you go by the council member's house, and I heard some other council members are even worse.

00:00:47.000 We're going to go by those later, but I'm sure they'll have it all cut by then.

00:00:49.000 And literally it looks like Tarzan lives there.

00:00:51.000 You'll see swarming mosquitoes that were biting me and your producer who did an excellent job.

00:00:57.000 And then we were told by neighbors who had nice homes.

00:01:00.000 This is a nice neighborhood that this council member lives in.

00:01:01.000 Very pretty little neighborhood with birds flying around and stuff.

00:01:04.000 But it was like all the homes were nice and pretty except for the council member's home and her rent house across the street had a tarp on the roof that the neighbors pointed out.

00:01:12.000 Five different sets of neighbors.

00:01:13.000 Yeah!

00:01:14.000 Yeah, that's her property too. 0.54

00:01:16.000 Look at it.

00:01:16.000 A blue tarp.

00:01:17.000 It's been there for a year.

00:01:18.000 And there's bugs and mosquitoes flying out of there.

00:01:20.000 That place is weird.

00:01:21.000 And you'll be able to see the footage of it more in depth.

00:01:27.000 And then these people will counter, we have to!

00:01:30.000 There's laws!

00:01:31.000 That's right, there's laws.

00:01:33.000 Now keep in mind, folks, what's important about this is the people that are mandating the laws, supposedly...

00:01:41.000 And I think there's some questions to all this.

00:01:43.000 Environmentalism is all about taking private property.

00:01:45.000 I mean, the establishment line of environmentalism, which isn't environmentalism, it's an excuse to usurp private property rights and make despotic inroads into private property.

00:01:56.000 And now Clinton's having this hate speech summit, which is attacking the First Amendment. 0.99

00:02:00.000 The Second Amendment's under siege.

00:02:02.000 I mean, I mean...

00:02:03.000 Well, let me just make this point, Alex.

00:02:04.000 Yeah.

00:02:05.000 And I think what's important about all this is... 0.79

00:02:09.000 Total hypocrisy.

00:02:09.000 This is actually a...

00:02:11.000 A person's home that's supposedly, on the surface, dictating to the city manager and the staff what's going to be...

00:02:19.000 At least Lither since 47. No, I'm talking about the footage that we've got coming up here.

00:02:23.000 Okay.

00:02:23.000 And their house, the council member's house, as we will see in the footage...

00:02:30.000 It's a hundred times worse.

00:02:31.000 ...is worse than the fellow here that's being targeted.

00:02:34.000 Oh, and there's also a derelict vehicle with vines, and this isn't...

00:02:38.000 This is a residential neighborhood.

00:02:39.000 This isn't the country or something where you'd see this.

00:02:41.000 It looks like a car that was left in the Amazon rain basin.

00:02:44.000 It's got vines curling around it.

00:02:47.000 And you can be sure that they're watching.

00:02:49.000 Now listen.

00:02:52.000 Here's the thing that we need to make the most clear.

00:02:55.000 And that is that no one's saying, folks, I don't want to get into a dispute with...

00:03:02.000 With anybody on this subject and whose house is worse than whose house.

00:03:06.000 That's not the government's business.

00:03:08.000 This is the essence of the problem.

00:03:11.000 When you allow huge bureaucracies to dictate what goes on with what our retirement should be, what our livelihood should be, how we should control our private property, how we should drive our cars, own our cars.

00:03:26.000 These are the problems, the hypocrisies.

00:03:29.000 And the problems that you deal with when you allow this type of environment to thrive.

00:03:34.000 But it's for our best interest.

00:03:35.000 Just like when Stalin marched 50 million...

00:03:39.000 Peasant farmers who've been living good lives off their land and 40 million of them starved to death and 10 million were killed in gulags and the academia around here will still not really own up to it because they were all running around during Khrushchev's time and Clinton was flying over to Russia in 67 and 68 for communists down with America victory summits.

00:03:55.000 It was fine to protest the Vietnam War. 0.98

00:03:57.000 I would have been against that war.

00:03:58.000 But what's not good is that there's so much of the so-called intelligentsia in this country just thinks it's okay to take people's private property because they know best.

00:04:10.000 Once again folks, the essence is not focused upon, and we've kind of got this going on down here in ACAC. Okay, let me just make this point.

00:04:24.000 It's kind of like what's going on down here at ACAC. We're seeing this business with this commercialism deal.

00:04:30.000 Now where everybody's watching everybody's show and, hey, he's doing commercialism.

00:04:34.000 They're doing commercialism.

00:04:35.000 They're doing commercialism.

00:04:36.000 It's meant to take energy out of the sale.

00:04:37.000 That's exactly what it does.

00:04:39.000 And this is exactly what, if you allow this type of totalitarian system to be implemented...

00:04:44.000 A divided house cannot stand.

00:04:46.000 Right, and this is what they're doing.

00:04:47.000 In fact, they're going so far now, and this is going to be the third time I say this, because this is one of the very key elements to all of this.

00:04:53.000 They are now encouraging folks to go out and tattle on everybody, whether it be you see somebody throwing something out your window, whether their grass is too high, whether they're watering their grass.

00:05:04.000 Water waster hotline, newspaper.

00:05:06.000 Whether they owe income tax.

00:05:07.000 Hold on, hold on.

00:05:08.000 Ozone Action Day.

00:05:09.000 And listen, I don't want to live in a city with bad emissions, but emissions are getting better because of catalytic converters.

00:05:14.000 Things, we're moving forward.

00:05:16.000 Technology can either free us or destroy us.

00:05:18.000 And I'm ready to move out of this weird industrialization.

00:05:20.000 I'm ready to move into the information age with new clean burning systems and get rid of fossil fuels and have, you know, solar power and hydroelectric power.

00:05:31.000 And I'm ready for people to have self-sufficient farms if they want them.

00:05:34.000 Let's do it through education.

00:05:35.000 But instead, all...

00:05:37.000 People on the street will just, everybody that I've talked to, if they do have something to say political, either it's, I don't know nothing about anything and I don't care, or it's...

00:05:44.000 Rainforest is going away.

00:05:46.000 We've got to give up some of our property rights to save it.

00:05:48.000 Do you think giving up your property rights here in the U.S. is going to save the rainforest?

00:05:51.000 It's all a big lie of the foreign banks that now could own and control our government. 1.00

00:05:55.000 And that's a fact.

00:05:56.000 That's not a conspiracy.

00:05:57.000 That's how the world works.

00:05:59.000 And so this whole thing is raising the consciousness of environmentalism isn't about raising the consciousness about the environment.

00:06:05.000 It's about getting us used to, oh, it's for the environment?

00:06:08.000 I'll lay down.

00:06:09.000 I'll do what you say.

00:06:10.000 It's religious.

00:06:11.000 It's cult-like.

00:06:12.000 That's the very key.

00:06:13.000 The fact is, folks, if there is an environmental problem, the last people you want to entrust to fix it are the same ones that have been in control of the system for the last 70, 80 years.

00:06:23.000 It's a con job, folks.

00:06:24.000 It's a con job.

00:06:25.000 Big governments destroy the environment.

00:06:27.000 There's no question.

00:06:28.000 From China to Russia.

00:06:29.000 I mean, look at Russia. 0.63

00:06:30.000 The worst country for environmental in the world.

00:06:32.000 Nuclear reactors in lakes.

00:06:33.000 Toxic chemicals.

00:06:35.000 Things falling apart.

00:06:36.000 Corruption.

00:06:37.000 Crime out of control.

00:06:38.000 That's what it gives you.

00:06:39.000 KGB running the country. 0.87

00:06:40.000 Murder, death is the name of the game.

00:06:42.000 If you want that, that is the shake and bake policy of history. 0.80

00:06:45.000 You let thugs get in.

00:06:46.000 You let them whisper in your ear.

00:06:47.000 These nice little goody-two-shoe bureaucrats that really believe in what they're doing, these upper-level ones, they'll be brushed aside once they usher in this utopia. 1.00

00:06:54.000 I mean, that's New World Order.

00:06:57.000 Then the gangsters that they've employed to push us into submission will turn to them and say, now that we're in control, by the way, I'm in control.

00:07:04.000 I'm Joseph Stalin.

00:07:05.000 I'm Mao Zedong.

00:07:06.000 I'm Adolf Hitler.

00:07:07.000 Here's the whole thing.

00:07:09.000 I'm Pol Pot.

00:07:10.000 Before we get to your piece here, it has to be reminded, folks, time and time again, that the international bankers...

00:07:20.000 And this is what it's all about.

00:07:21.000 It's not about environment.

00:07:22.000 It's not about crime.

00:07:24.000 It's not about the kids.

00:07:25.000 The international bankers are funding...

00:07:27.000 They're not bankers. 0.97

00:07:30.000 They're international criminals. 0.96

00:07:31.000 Political parties. 0.99

00:07:32.000 They're international criminals. 0.98

00:07:33.000 Old money cliques of crime.

00:07:34.000 They're largely in control of the mass media. 0.65

00:07:36.000 They're all gangsters.

00:07:37.000 They're in control in the world religion circle. 0.98

00:07:42.000 And they're also...

00:07:43.000 It's a known fact that the Rockefeller Foundation and all these foundations are funding and have created and financed In fact, the World Wildlife Fund is linked to Prince Bernhard out of the Netherlands.

00:07:55.000 And then the Dutch Royal Shell Company.

00:07:57.000 Actually, no, it's not that.

00:07:58.000 It's Prince Philip.

00:08:01.000 That's the husband of Queen Elizabeth.

00:08:03.000 Right, but the thing is, folks...

00:08:05.000 He's a Malthusian and believes all the dark and brown people should die, but then he funds all these so-called liberal environmentalist groups like Green Shield with Gorbachev running it, and they've been given a naval base at Presidio in San Francisco. 0.99

00:08:19.000 And this has happened. 0.96

00:08:20.000 It's been in the mainstream press.

00:08:21.000 Ted Turner goes out to these big summits.

00:08:23.000 I mean, this is happening.

00:08:24.000 We have these operatives in here in our country.

00:08:26.000 They want our private property.

00:08:27.000 They want our labor. 1.00

00:08:28.000 And they devise schemes.

00:08:29.000 This is the way the world's always run.

00:08:30.000 Why are we not standing up now?

00:08:32.000 The bottom line is this, folks, and you have to repeat yourself so many times, Alex, because the enemy repeats their brainwashing so many times.

00:08:39.000 The fact is, folks, all the issues that are coming to you.

00:08:42.000 No significance.

00:08:43.000 It's not, well, but I mean, yeah, mostly no significance.

00:08:46.000 But the conditioning, the type of information.

00:08:49.000 It's not about the guns.

00:08:50.000 It's not about the kids.

00:08:52.000 It's not about the environment.

00:08:53.000 It's not about crime.

00:08:56.000 It's about international bankers who are in control through the IMF, through the World Bank, the International Bank of Settlements, who create finance governments, who are financing governments, devising ways to conquer and control the masses.

00:09:14.000 That's what it's all about.

00:09:15.000 That's what it's all about.

00:09:16.000 And that's why they're in power, because they're ruthless, they're bloodthirsty, they have propaganda ministers, they pay off the university heads with hundreds of millions of dollars of grant money to individual big-time universities from Harvard to UT, and they're just spouting a lot of slavery and socialism.

00:09:31.000 And there's always, you can always jump on the bad wagon, just submit, just jump on the government tip, be a good bureaucrat, and you'll go to the top.

00:09:36.000 But the problem is, at a certain point, it gets out of kilter.

00:09:39.000 And the government right now is 52% of everything.

00:09:41.000 So imagine a dog and a tick that it's dragging along beside it.

00:09:44.000 It's bigger than it.

00:09:45.000 I mean, this economy is very vibrant because there still is some freedom left.

00:09:49.000 Oh, yeah, but Alan Greenspan says we're in good shape.

00:09:51.000 Yeah, and we had to have that interest rate hike, which is around the way...

00:09:55.000 Alex, we actually got to knock this off because this tape...

00:09:57.000 Now, this footage, folks, is...

00:10:00.000 This is hypocrisy, and then we'll take y'all's call.

00:10:01.000 This was done yesterday, and it's, what, 30 minutes?

00:10:04.000 Yeah, it's about 30 minutes.

00:10:05.000 No more than 30 minutes.

00:10:06.000 Because I do want to take some calls.

00:10:07.000 We haven't taken any calls in all night.

00:10:09.000 And I want to thank your producer for doing a good job.

00:10:11.000 Okay, with that, folks, one more time, let me mention, I want to thank KFIT Radio for sponsoring and impart this program.

00:10:18.000 And Alex, as I mentioned to James and John that were here earlier, I appreciate your effort.

00:10:23.000 Hey, thanks to your producer.

00:10:24.000 We're going to continue to expose.

00:10:27.000 Listen, we're fiery. 0.99

00:10:28.000 These guys are like cockroaches. 0.97

00:10:30.000 Because we're patriots. 0.99

00:10:30.000 We're not like them. 0.99

00:10:31.000 Where we all go to these big renaissance festivals and these globalist summits.

00:10:35.000 We get up here and argue and debate, and I appreciate the fervor that you bring me to this question. 0.97

00:10:39.000 Let me mention, Alex, that these guys are like cockroaches. 0.98

00:10:43.000 Oh, yeah. 0.96

00:10:43.000 You know, they're hidden under rocks, and the thing that's going to defeat them is continue to move that rock. 0.96

00:10:51.000 It's just like they said on Discovery Channel on a show about these conspiracy theorists that are all in the Ku Klux Klan.

00:10:57.000 You know, and blue M&Ms have uranium in them, we think.

00:11:00.000 You know, that's what we, I mean, you think, according to the media, the Osperger Statesman and Discovery Channel.

00:11:04.000 Something that was on there is this professor, this lady from Georgetown, I forget her name on there, your producer, Mike, shut up to me and I'm going to put it on sometime, or he may.

00:11:11.000 She goes, with these militias and people, these right-wingers, well, not right-wingers, that's just a term they throw out, like Hitler said, Jews. 0.70

00:11:17.000 You know, Hitler said, they're Jews! 0.98

00:11:19.000 Everybody says, oh, they're bad, they're right-wing, they're Christian now, you know, they're bad. 1.00

00:11:21.000 Here in America, it's just a buzzword.

00:11:23.000 She said, they think there's good leaders and bad leaders.

00:11:26.000 They don't understand that there's just leaders and that there's pragmatic world policy.

00:11:31.000 See, that's a Neville Chamberlain-type attitude, the prime minister that let Hitler take part in Europe. 0.92

00:11:35.000 And I wanted to say to her, oh, so Stalin wasn't bad, Hitler wasn't bad, Mao wasn't bad, the British Empire hadn't done a lot of bad.

00:11:42.000 You know, these people, they try to sell us that nothing counts, have no morals, have no set destiny.

00:11:46.000 That way they can push you around.

00:11:48.000 Okay, now let's get to the piece, folks.

00:11:49.000 Here's the bureaucracy, folks.

00:11:51.000 This is a local story.

00:11:53.000 And it's got the nice...

00:11:54.000 Now, will the people be able to understand what's happening?

00:11:56.000 Oh, they're going to understand totally.

00:11:57.000 I mean, the audios will explain what's happening.

00:12:00.000 Yes.

00:12:00.000 Okay.

00:12:01.000 There was a lot of interference in that neighborhood with the wireless mic, so I did some dub over, voice over on parts.

00:12:05.000 But what it is is that this man, Mr. Ellingson, we did a story last week.

00:12:08.000 He got sent a deal, but this isn't the story this week.

00:12:10.000 He got sent a deal saying, $2,000 a day, fine.

00:12:13.000 We're already going to go ahead and fine you.

00:12:14.000 Here's the deal.

00:12:16.000 Remove objectional material and mow your grass.

00:12:18.000 Well, I went out there and he had uncut grass.

00:12:19.000 It was like...

00:12:20.000 This high in some places, this high in some places.

00:12:21.000 He hasn't watered it.

00:12:22.000 There's 47. There's English ivy trees.

00:12:24.000 It was a nice home.

00:12:25.000 You'll see it in its condition a week and a half ago.

00:12:28.000 Then we went to the health department that same day and had walls falling over, weeds everywhere.

00:12:33.000 Even where the construction wasn't going on.

00:12:34.000 They have some construction going on.

00:12:36.000 Then we went out to a council member's home.

00:12:37.000 We got a tip.

00:12:38.000 We're not going to tell you our name.

00:12:40.000 Not that we can't, but we're just going to show you. 0.76

00:12:43.000 And it's just totally hypocrisy.

00:12:45.000 And then the statesman countered last Thursday and said, oh, this is so needed.

00:12:50.000 For crimes.

00:12:51.000 Yes, and the children.

00:12:54.000 I want you to counter this, statesman.

00:12:56.000 Let's do it.

00:12:56.000 All right, here we go, folks.

00:12:58.000 We'll be back in about 30 minutes.

00:12:59.000 And we will take a few phone calls.

00:13:01.000 Good job, Alex.

00:13:01.000 - Yeah, thanks, Jeff. - The story you're fixing to see over the next 25, 30 minutes.

00:13:12.000 That is the City Health Department.

00:13:13.000 Now forget the construction you're seeing.

00:13:15.000 Look at the weeds everywhere you look.

00:13:19.000 From every sidewalk to every corner, 6-8 inches high.

00:13:22.000 And the back of the building, a couple feet high. 0.89

00:13:24.000 Absolutely ridiculous.

00:13:26.000 And then we'll go film Mr. Ellington's house, the guy who's been threatened with $2,000 a day, leans on his home if he doesn't cut his 3-inch grass, remove objectionable material, whatever that is. 0.78

00:13:36.000 And then we'll show you a council member's house.

00:13:37.000 So check it out, folks.

00:13:39.000 Now, there's the council member.

00:13:41.000 We won't mention him by name, but stay tuned for the rest of the program.

00:13:44.000 I mean, you can't even imagine.

00:13:46.000 We'll show more in-depth footage.

00:13:48.000 Mosquitoes swarming, standing water, tarps on roofs.

00:13:51.000 This council member is in power right now.

00:13:54.000 And I'm not attacking them.

00:13:55.000 They just need to do something about it.

00:13:57.000 And now, here is the man who's being harassed.

00:13:59.000 Here's his evil property.

00:14:01.000 So you've seen the health department, and then you saw the council member's place, and then there's the guy who's being harassed.

00:14:06.000 Oh, isn't he horrible?

00:14:08.000 And he's done nothing to his property.

00:14:09.000 Look, there's the back.

00:14:10.000 I mean, it's a well-painted, nice house on West 37th.

00:14:13.000 Well, here's the rest of the story, folks.

00:14:18.000 Speak out against evil now or submit in silence later.

00:14:21.000 Yeah.

00:14:23.000 But it's so fashionable not to speak out nowadays.

00:14:26.000 It's so bourgeoisie or gauche.

00:14:30.000 I'm Alex Jones.

00:14:32.000 And the story you're about to see is real investigative reporting.

00:14:36.000 Now, I guess it's up to...

00:14:38.000 People like myself and others to get out and do this kind of stuff.

00:14:43.000 I guess the city and state governments are totally left unchecked by the media here in town while there's never any investigative reporting that goes on.

00:14:53.000 And this story is not vindictive.

00:14:55.000 We have nothing against the council member.

00:14:57.000 We have nothing against her.

00:14:58.000 Our problem is that she needs to understand what it's like to have people come around her house and tell her She ought to do a better job. 0.99

00:15:06.000 We're not going to tell you her name right out.

00:15:07.000 There's a few hints in the story.

00:15:09.000 And we're not going to tell you her address or where she lives.

00:15:12.000 The mainstream media here in town, that is the main affiliates and things, haven't done any investigative reporting in a long time.

00:15:20.000 And they need to.

00:15:21.000 But, you see, they've got an easy ride, plenty of advertisers, and no problem.

00:15:24.000 So why should they stand up against big city government out of control?

00:15:28.000 The story you're about to see is not vindictive.

00:15:32.000 But it is a council member's home.

00:15:34.000 Here in Austin, Texas, we won't tell you her name.

00:15:37.000 We're not out to make her feel bad.

00:15:39.000 We're out for a little wake-up call for the city council and let them see how it is to have people come unannounced for no reason and pride in their lives.

00:15:47.000 But don't worry, we're not going to try to put a $2,000 fine a day on her house for her grass being uncut.

00:15:53.000 Why?

00:15:54.000 We're not even going to try to fine her, because we don't have the power, but we wouldn't anyways, for the...

00:15:59.000 Oh, 15, 20-foot vines that hang out of the trees and run across the ground, and they've broken down a truck in her yard.

00:16:05.000 And we also found out from the neighbors next door that she owns the rent house right across the street from her house with a tarp on the roof.

00:16:12.000 And you'll see some footage of that.

00:16:14.000 Yes, holes in the roof, a veritable jungle around the area, and there hasn't been any health department out there.

00:16:23.000 That is the problem, is hypocrisy here in town.

00:16:26.000 I'll also show you Mr. Ellingson's property.

00:16:32.000 Mr. Ellingson did zero.

00:16:34.000 He has three-inch grass, English ivy growing on the trees, just like this council member does.

00:16:38.000 But his house is at one-tenth as overgrown as hers.

00:16:42.000 But this isn't the story.

00:16:44.000 The story is, is this isn't the city's job to prime people's lives.

00:16:48.000 And also, this Thursday, the Austin-American statesman did a story.

00:16:53.000 Three days after, or less than three days after, we aired.

00:16:56.000 The original story about Mr. Ellingson being harassed by the City Health Department and Environmental Services Division.

00:17:02.000 Less than two days after, they did a front page article saying it was because of crime and high weeds and the $2,000 a day fines must be levied against people's homes and the liens against homes must be done.

00:17:12.000 That's fine.

00:17:14.000 They need to go out and check the council members' homes and put levies against their houses then. 1.00

00:17:18.000 You see, folks, it's time that you give your council members a call.

00:17:22.000 It's time you raise hell and say... 0.99

00:17:24.000 Deal with the murderers first. 0.99

00:17:25.000 Deal with the carjackers and the rapists and the fondlers before you go around harassing others. 0.99

00:17:30.000 And then a little bit later, we'll show you some shots again of Mr. Ellingson's home.

00:17:34.000 And you'll just be shocked to see the difference between his home and then this council member's home.

00:17:38.000 Holes in roofs, tarps on her property, and then the house she lives in across the street.

00:17:43.000 It looks like Tarzan's fixing to come swinging through the trees in any second.

00:17:48.000 So, again, this is not vindictive.

00:17:51.000 This is us trying.

00:17:53.000 We're trying to wake people up in Austin to see that there's double standards.

00:17:57.000 I mean, what is the deal here?

00:17:59.000 If you go down and you check out the Health Department and Environmental Services on 15th Waller Street, I heard they cleaned it up now, but when we went down that Sunday before Monday when we did the story, there was falling down walls, there was six-foot weeds, there was six-inch grass everywhere, trash, cigarette butts, fire ant beds.

00:18:16.000 I'm not down there harassing them.

00:18:17.000 I'm just going and showing you the fact.

00:18:19.000 I'm not levying fines on the people that work there, not even trying to, like they do to normal citizens.

00:18:24.000 And then to see the paper jump in and defend them and make up lies for them and say, Sewage!

00:18:30.000 Children!

00:18:31.000 Crime goes up!

00:18:33.000 East Austin!

00:18:34.000 See, all these little buzzwords, folks.

00:18:36.000 That's what it's all about.

00:18:37.000 Getting you off target.

00:18:38.000 Making excuses for hypocrisy. 0.50

00:18:40.000 That is the essence of hypocrisy and bureaucracy out of control. 0.98

00:18:45.000 And also, the neighbors came up to us when we went out to this council member's neighborhood, and they said over and over, yeah, we have nothing against her, but that's ridiculous. 0.61

00:18:54.000 You know, her rent house across the street that she rents out has a blue tarp on the roof, and we'll show you a cut of that, and it looks like a jungle, can't even see the front door.

00:19:02.000 You know, criminals could hide in there, just like the statesman said, you know, last Thursday.

00:19:08.000 And then you actually see her home, and it's just atrocious, and there are mosquitoes flying around everywhere.

00:19:16.000 I say leave her alone. 1.00

00:19:17.000 Let the council member live her life. 1.00

00:19:19.000 Council member, when you hear about this, please understand we're not attacking you.

00:19:23.000 We're not being vindictive.

00:19:25.000 Please repeat.

00:19:27.000 Please call the health department and tell them to get off people's back.

00:19:30.000 Make sure there's not cockroaches in our food at restaurants.

00:19:33.000 Make sure that things like that are being done.

00:19:35.000 Stop, but I understand.

00:19:37.000 You want to shake people down, Health Department.

00:19:39.000 There's a lot of money in these $2,000 a day fines and liens on houses.

00:19:43.000 You've taken quite a few houses, haven't you?

00:19:45.000 Especially from older Americans who are sometimes not too sharp. 1.00

00:19:48.000 Yeah, that's your policy, isn't it?

00:19:50.000 Making people clean up creeks and subdivisions behind their homes that they don't even own.

00:19:55.000 Yeah, like my grandparents.

00:19:57.000 That's real nice.

00:19:59.000 And the story you're about to see is real investigative reporting.

00:20:02.000 Now, I guess it's up to people like myself and others.

00:20:08.000 To get out and do this kind of stuff.

00:20:10.000 I guess the city and state governments are totally left unchecked by the media here in town.

00:20:16.000 While there's never any investigative reporting that goes on.

00:20:19.000 And this story is not vindictive.

00:20:21.000 We have nothing against the council member.

00:20:23.000 We have nothing against her.

00:20:24.000 Filmed it last Sunday.

00:20:26.000 They played that Monday.

00:20:28.000 Then the Austin-American statesman countered it.

00:20:31.000 Story about the health department harassing Mr. Ellingson.

00:20:34.000 He had three-inch grass.

00:20:35.000 You know, he was a bad person.

00:20:37.000 Litherous is 1947 on West 37th.

00:20:41.000 Then I got a hot tip, and we're just going out here to check it out, that a city council member out here in South Austin lives in a house that doesn't look bad, but it's overgrown.

00:20:51.000 And we don't contend that that's even our business or that that's a bad thing.

00:20:55.000 But we're ferreting out hypocrisy.

00:20:59.000 Not that the city council member, and we're not going to say her name, Is engaged in hypocrisy, but that she might need to know about the hypocrisy that's going on with the health department, which everyone who saw the show last week saw they had walls falling down, overgrown six-foot weeds, six-inch grass everywhere, cigarette butts and garbage.

00:21:17.000 So right now we're going out to this city council member's house just to check on their report.

00:21:23.000 So we don't go check things out first.

00:21:24.000 We just go check it out in the story, and if it doesn't look like a good story, we don't do it.

00:21:28.000 We're fixing to find out.

00:21:30.000 We're fixing to see.

00:21:31.000 How hypocrisy is here in Austin, Texas.

00:21:36.000 And we're not going to tell you their address.

00:21:38.000 We're not going to tell you the city council member's name.

00:21:40.000 I'm sure enough people who know the city council member will recognize, you know, friends of hers.

00:21:45.000 We'll just say that.

00:21:47.000 And, again, this is no attack on the person themselves.

00:21:51.000 It's just to let them see how it feels.

00:21:54.000 We're not coming to levy $2,000 a day fines like the city does, the Human Health Service.

00:22:00.000 Environmental Services Department, Environmental Services, Human Health and Environmental Services Department, like they levy $2,000 a day according to the last 30s of the Austin American Statesman.

00:22:10.000 It's very needed.

00:22:11.000 It's for crime and things.

00:22:12.000 If you've got grass over three inches, the criminals all come.

00:22:15.000 And so we've got to punish these people.

00:22:17.000 So we're going to see if the city council member needs to be punished.

00:22:20.000 Why?

00:22:20.000 If the grass is over three inches or any little dead spots, we're going to immediately call the health department and notify them of the evil that's going on.

00:22:28.000 So again, we're out here ferreting out dangerous criminals, thought crimes, brain crimes, and environmental crimes.

00:22:35.000 All equally important.

00:22:37.000 Now people getting their throats slit and the crime that's running wild in the streets.

00:22:40.000 Well, and the carjackings and the rapes and the fondlings and things.

00:22:44.000 We're not really going to worry about that because that's not hurting Mother Earth.

00:22:47.000 We're only worried about the evil behavior that's going on.

00:22:51.000 So we'll get there in just a few minutes and we'll check it out.

00:22:55.000 We'll see if these reports are true.

00:22:57.000 Here we are at a council member's house, home, no. 0.98

00:23:06.000 No, no.

00:23:07.000 Here we are at a council member's house, home, down here in Austin.

00:23:12.000 And I'm not going to tell you their address or who they are, but you ought to see how overgrown their house is. 0.93

00:23:17.000 I mean, this is just ridiculous. 0.65

00:23:18.000 Very nice little neighborhood over there, I will tell you. 0.98

00:23:24.000 But it's just crazy.

00:23:27.000 We'll just wait until you see how overgrown it is.

00:23:29.000 Hell, look at that house.

00:23:30.000 That's more overgrown.

00:23:31.000 Look, that's not the council member's house, but look, that's more overgrown than Mr. Ellingson's.

00:23:36.000 It's crazy.

00:23:38.000 I think it makes me the maddest is how the paper countered with that story.

00:23:44.000 We came out and did a story about Mr. Ellingson being harassed by the Health Department and Environmental Services, and two days later, there was a front page...

00:23:53.000 The thing on the health department is saying how wonderful they are.

00:23:56.000 Stopping crime, sewage, and helping the children in East Austin.

00:24:00.000 Everything health department did it.

00:24:06.000 Here we are, folks.

00:24:08.000 The right-wing evil.

00:24:10.000 Look at it.

00:24:10.000 This is a council member.

00:24:12.000 Now, we should probably slap up some footage later of Mr. Ellington's and show you that this is ten times more overgrown than his property.

00:24:19.000 Selective enforcement.

00:24:21.000 Selective enforcement.

00:24:23.000 And we're not attacking this council member.

00:24:25.000 We're just saying, hey, maybe they should know about the hypocrisy in the city that they run, that we've elected them to protect us from their own minions.

00:24:37.000 Even the driveway's overgrown.

00:24:39.000 I mean, look at that.

00:24:41.000 And folks, the camera can't even catch what's going on in this yard.

00:24:44.000 And it's not our business.

00:24:45.000 We don't care.

00:24:45.000 I don't think it's a problem.

00:24:46.000 The statesman does.

00:24:48.000 The health department does.

00:24:49.000 They agree.

00:24:50.000 Two thousand dollar a day fines for non-compliance.

00:24:52.000 Better take their home.

00:24:53.000 Better bulldoze it.

00:24:56.000 Out of control.

00:24:57.000 Out of control.

00:24:59.000 It's best.

00:25:01.000 Absolutely.

00:25:03.000 Out of control.

00:25:07.000 I think I ought to go up there.

00:25:10.000 Well, anyways, we went out there and what...

00:25:16.000 I mean, I don't know how to explain it.

00:25:18.000 You should have seen it with your own eyes.

00:25:20.000 The council member owns two houses on that street.

00:25:23.000 The one you're looking at right now is supposedly where the neighbors told us she lived.

00:25:26.000 That's where the hot tip told us she lived, and then we checked it out, and that is where the council member lives.

00:25:30.000 And we asked five different neighbors.

00:25:31.000 They all said, yes, the council member lives there.

00:25:33.000 Then they pointed us to the rent property across the street.

00:25:36.000 I don't mean to laugh, but it looks like you'd see a great macaw parrot or something flying through or Tarzan.

00:25:43.000 It's unbelievable.

00:25:45.000 Totally overgrown.

00:25:46.000 You can't even see the front door.

00:25:48.000 And it's a nice neighborhood.

00:25:49.000 You can see the neighborhood there.

00:25:50.000 I mean, she definitely has the worst properties in that neighborhood. 1.00

00:25:52.000 We drove around a few streets and we were just, it was just unbelievable.

00:25:56.000 It seems like bureaucrats are all the same.

00:26:00.000 I mean, they'll tell us how to do everything. 0.98

00:26:01.000 When you go look at them, they're slobs.

00:26:03.000 And I'm not knocking a zero escape yard.

00:26:05.000 But in a few minutes, we'll show you Ellington's property.

00:26:09.000 The guy that got the, you know, they threatened him for $2,000 a day fines.

00:26:13.000 Now look at that.

00:26:14.000 She owns that property. 1.00

00:26:15.000 That's the rent house across the street.

00:26:16.000 Holes in the roof.

00:26:17.000 They have a tarp over it.

00:26:18.000 You can't see how the wood's rotting.

00:26:20.000 And I wish we would have got a bigger camera shot of the entire property.

00:26:25.000 There must be a little trail to the door.

00:26:27.000 It's unbelievable.

00:26:29.000 And you'll probably see me laughing and making a joke at it right here.

00:26:34.000 I mean...

00:26:35.000 And I'm saying leave her alone. 0.95

00:26:37.000 Leave the council member alone. 0.97

00:26:38.000 But if this doesn't make us act, if this doesn't make us...

00:26:41.000 Now, there's her actual property where she lives. 0.98

00:26:43.000 And the camera just does not catch it.

00:26:46.000 Unbelievable.

00:26:47.000 And the air was just swimming with mosquitoes.

00:26:49.000 I was being bit on the head and on the back of my neck and on my hands.

00:26:53.000 When I was over at Mr. Ellington's house for about an hour and a half talking to him last week, we first did a story.

00:26:59.000 There was nothing.

00:27:00.000 There was no bugs.

00:27:01.000 He had healthy cats.

00:27:02.000 Didn't see him scratching.

00:27:03.000 Had a beagle dog.

00:27:04.000 He's an old, retired... 0.96

00:27:05.000 Semi-retired arborist.

00:27:08.000 I mean, so, you know, I try to make jokes out of it and make it so we can handle it, but really, it's scary.

00:27:14.000 And then to see the Austin-American statesman, you know, two days after we did the story Monday on Thursday, because we did it Monday night, so really that's two business days, come out with a front-page story on the cover saying, tall weeds cause crime, you know, East Austin, all these buzzwords.

00:27:27.000 No, it's $2,000 a day, folks.

00:27:30.000 They love it.

00:27:31.000 They're making tons of money out of this, squeezing people in environmental services.

00:27:35.000 I'll tell you the truth, it's not good for the environment.

00:27:38.000 And there's one of the vehicles that's parked there.

00:27:42.000 You can guess who the council member is.

00:27:44.000 We're allowed to say who the council member is, but I'm not going to get into that game.

00:27:47.000 But again, there's the rental property across the street, the neighbors told us.

00:27:52.000 And the other property is where she lives.

00:27:55.000 And again, they have a rotting roof.

00:27:57.000 Why, that's a health hazard.

00:27:58.000 Standing water, just like the, there was lots of standing water, just like the letter that Mr. Ellington got said, remove objectionable material.

00:28:07.000 Well, what's that?

00:28:07.000 I don't know.

00:28:09.000 Whatever they want it to be, I guess.

00:28:11.000 But, we'll show you some cuts of Mr. Ellington's property.

00:28:16.000 Now, this is a normal, what most of the houses look like in the neighborhood.

00:28:21.000 And then there's her yard next door.

00:28:24.000 To one of the other houses.

00:28:26.000 So there's one of your council members again, folks, showing us how to run things.

00:28:30.000 Broken down vehicles.

00:28:32.000 we didn't want to get on our property, but you could see the vines were wrapped around the antenna on the vehicle.

00:28:38.000 Anyways, I don't know.

00:28:45.000 And again, don't you attack me.

00:28:48.000 Alex Jones, for what I'm sitting here doing, I'm not trying to cause a bunch of trouble for this person. 0.93

00:28:53.000 I'm saying they're running our city, and they're going around harassing people, and it's just hypocrisy, man. 0.85

00:28:59.000 Ellington.

00:29:00.000 And then people called the show last week, and I called my radio show too, and said, oh, you know, we've got to cut that grass.

00:29:06.000 It's for the, you know, hurting crime, bugs, breeding.

00:29:09.000 And I'm like, he had three-inch grass.

00:29:10.000 Oh, the city wouldn't do it unless it was needed.

00:29:12.000 Well, all right then.

00:29:14.000 If Ellington's land's bad, then get over their city and put liens against her. 1.00

00:29:18.000 $2,000 a day.

00:29:19.000 Their own, well, last Thursday, Osborne Estatesmen had it in there.

00:29:22.000 $2,000 a day is needed.

00:29:23.000 It's important to keep us safe.

00:29:26.000 Yeah, safe from what, you know?

00:29:28.000 I don't know.

00:29:29.000 I'm not going to ramble anymore.

00:29:30.000 Here's Mr. Ellington's house.

00:29:32.000 Check this out.

00:29:32.000 And see the difference between her properties and the council member's properties and his property, where he's lived since 1947. Here's his property there, and he did nothing to it.

00:29:44.000 That's exactly how it was.

00:29:45.000 I drove by three or four days before we did the story and saw it and the grass was uncut, unwatered.

00:29:49.000 It was like three inches high and had dead spots in it like any other place with a lot of trees.

00:29:54.000 And the place was well painted, nice indoors.

00:29:57.000 I didn't see a tarp on the roof or anything, a danger to any children or anything.

00:30:02.000 And the house you see in the front is where he has some renters, some nice English guys who are artists who live over here.

00:30:07.000 And then you can see Mr. Ellington, the older gentleman's arborist.

00:30:15.000 Workshed.

00:30:16.000 And there's some of his evil right-wing cats.

00:30:17.000 Those are actually his cats.

00:30:18.000 And he's got a dog.

00:30:19.000 Oh, he's also got a parrot back in his two-story little house in the back.

00:30:23.000 Lived there since 47. Actually built those houses himself.

00:30:26.000 His wife died.

00:30:29.000 So that's what's going on.

00:30:32.000 Actually, his wife died.

00:30:33.000 So he moved out of that house a long time ago and ran into it kind of sad to live there.

00:30:36.000 And you can just see the problems that he's been causing.

00:30:41.000 It's obvious that he's bad.

00:30:45.000 And there's the arborist, a little trailer.

00:30:49.000 They give him a little bit of trouble about keeping that there.

00:30:51.000 See, maybe if he was just like Goodman and became a...

00:30:53.000 I'm sorry.

00:30:55.000 Maybe if he was just like some of the people in government around town, nothing would happen to him.

00:31:00.000 Maybe he would just be left alone.

00:31:07.000 I don't know.

00:31:09.000 Maybe he'd just be left alone if he'd just give up and quit working.

00:31:13.000 And not have that bad trailer with some plants in the back, you know, that he has to go pay the landfill to exorbitant prices to dump.

00:31:19.000 And here's the backyard, just the complete evil.

00:31:22.000 You can see some lumber where he does a little bit of carpentry.

00:31:25.000 And, you know, he didn't even straighten up until we came over.

00:31:27.000 That's just the way it's been.

00:31:28.000 There's the terrible long grass.

00:31:33.000 Just the worst thing I've ever seen.

00:31:34.000 It was a little bit taller in back.

00:31:36.000 It was probably four and a half inches tall in back.

00:31:40.000 See, we're not hiding anything.

00:31:41.000 We're showing you the back.

00:31:42.000 And those tarps were not put up just because we came out there.

00:31:45.000 He'd had tarps over his lumber for a long time.

00:31:47.000 There was holes in the corner of the tarps.

00:31:49.000 They'd been there so long.

00:31:51.000 And there's his vehicle.

00:31:53.000 Just a bad man trying to live his life.

00:31:54.000 There he is.

00:31:55.000 God, he's got to be stopped.

00:31:58.000 Oh, man.

00:32:00.000 And there we go up front being bad people, you know, causing trouble.

00:32:05.000 Hurting whoever we can.

00:32:06.000 And in a few minutes, I'll show you the health department.

00:32:08.000 We went out to the health department after we were here.

00:32:10.000 And as usual, didn't even go check it out before we did the story.

00:32:13.000 We just went out there to the health department and it was just in disrepair.

00:32:17.000 So that's where Mr. Ellington lives.

00:32:20.000 Ellington, excuse me.

00:32:22.000 Very bad.

00:32:22.000 Oh, and a flower from when his wife was alive.

00:32:26.000 You know, he's got to be stopped.

00:32:29.000 Lived there since 47. Terrible, terrible, terrible.

00:32:32.000 Look at the freshly painted house.

00:32:33.000 You know, just...

00:32:34.000 And there's the letter he got on July 17th.

00:32:37.000 We were on the story by the 25th, by the 26th, and the statesman had countered by the 31st with a story about how, you know, it was all East Austin.

00:32:47.000 It was all crime.

00:32:48.000 It was all broken sewage, broken sewage.

00:32:51.000 Every buzzword they could think of.

00:32:53.000 And it showed some couch at a...

00:32:55.000 But there's the little citation threatening liens on his house at $2,000 a day fines, which they do routinely.

00:33:03.000 In fact, I just heard of a story we're fixing to do of a guy who's been charged $500 a day, and he's going to fight them.

00:33:08.000 And you see where the city's involved and environmental services involved, the Constitution ends, because it's always an emergency.

00:33:15.000 And everyone agrees in town, and our consciousness has been raised about ozone days, and it's just, we've just got to do it, it's an emergency, it's a crusade against evil, it's got to be done.

00:33:25.000 I'm here with Charles Roland Ellington, over here in central Austin.

00:33:33.000 Right off Guadalupe Street.

00:33:36.000 And he lives at 407th B, West 37th Street, Austin, Texas, 78705. And thank God people like him are still willing to stand up.

00:33:46.000 Now, I was shocked when I met Mr. Ellington at a patriot meeting talking about lower taxes and less government regulation.

00:33:56.000 You know, bad things like that.

00:33:58.000 And later he faxed me some information that the city is harassing him, the Austin Health and Human Services Travis County Health Department, Environmental Health Services Division.

00:34:08.000 They have piles of junk in their backyard.

00:34:10.000 We went in his backyard, and there's nothing but a stack of lumber covered with a tarp.

00:34:18.000 This is his private property.

00:34:19.000 This is America, and I want you to film the grass here.

00:34:24.000 There's nothing wrong with this grass.

00:34:26.000 It's zero scape grass.

00:34:28.000 That's what the environmentalists beg us to do.

00:34:30.000 It's cut.

00:34:31.000 It's clean.

00:34:31.000 There's no problem.

00:34:33.000 It's not some millionaire's home, but it's a nice central Austin home that I would be proud to live in.

00:34:41.000 I really like the way these neighborhoods look.

00:34:44.000 So that's what we're talking about today.

00:34:47.000 We're talking about how there is selective enforcement.

00:34:50.000 And then I was shocked to find out.

00:34:52.000 That Mr. Ellington, Mr. Charles Roland Ellington, has, in the past, gotten onto the city about some of its out-of-control spending and has been an involved citizen.

00:35:06.000 And so that's something that I find to be very shocking.

00:35:11.000 Mr. Ellington?

00:35:13.000 Ellington.

00:35:14.000 Ellington?

00:35:15.000 I really appreciate you having the will to stand up to what they're doing.

00:35:21.000 How did this all start?

00:35:22.000 In your opinion, why are they doing this?

00:35:24.000 And if you'll note that the expansion in the blue pages will give you the blues by the volume of increasing phone numbers supplied for city services.

00:35:35.000 Services.

00:35:36.000 That means harassment extortion centers.

00:35:39.000 That's about the size of the matter.

00:35:42.000 So, you exercised your constitutional right, you've gone to city council, you've written letters, you've made phone calls, and now you're being singled out and being harassed for no reason?

00:35:54.000 That does seem to be, I mean, cause and effect a reason, it does seem to be prudent.

00:36:00.000 Well, we're not going to invade the privacy of inside your home, but I was just inside there with you.

00:36:05.000 It's a very nice place, no big deal, almost like a little country house.

00:36:09.000 How long have you lived here?

00:36:11.000 Since May of 1947. How dare you, you evil carpetbagger. 1.00

00:36:16.000 We've got to get you under control. 0.98

00:36:18.000 Before this city usurpation of micromanagement, the cockroach syndrome.

00:36:25.000 The cockroach syndrome of micromanaging all facets of a citizen's life.

00:36:30.000 And that's not American. 0.75

00:36:32.000 That is un-American. 0.78

00:36:34.000 Well, how dare you be a hard-working arborist and a person that's engaged in other...

00:36:39.000 I mean, that's just...

00:36:40.000 How dare you?

00:36:41.000 A bourgeois member.

00:36:43.000 A member of the bourgeoisie.

00:36:44.000 That's right.

00:36:45.000 Yeah, you're out of control.

00:36:46.000 We've got to stop you.

00:36:47.000 We've got to...

00:36:48.000 So...

00:36:49.000 This little loving letter right here, I'll just read part of it.

00:36:53.000 Austin Health and Human Services, Travis County Health Department, Environmental Human Services.

00:36:58.000 That's gangsters calling themselves service agents.

00:37:01.000 15th Waller Street, Austin, Texas, 78702. If you want to get in touch with them, we'll put up their number during the show.

00:37:06.000 You want to call and tell them how much you appreciate them harassing older, hardworking citizens here in town.

00:37:11.000 Their phone number is 469-2015.

00:37:14.000 That's 469-2015.

00:37:17.000 And their fax is 469-2030, and we'll get that out later.

00:37:21.000 Now, it says, this is to inform you that a condition in violation of ordinance or state law exists on property located at 407 West 37th Street.

00:37:32.000 And you've said you're a tough guy, you're willing, you don't mind people knowing where you live.

00:37:35.000 If they want to come by and see the evil property that you live on...

00:37:39.000 See, I came by when you first faxed me this.

00:37:42.000 And you told me that since then you raked up a few leaves.

00:37:46.000 That's all you've done to straighten up the property.

00:37:48.000 And it's still shocking to me.

00:37:51.000 It's your property.

00:37:52.000 That's not the argument.

00:37:53.000 You should be able to do what you want on your property unless you've signed a homeowner's clause.

00:37:57.000 And as far as I know, over here on 37th, there is no homeowner's clause, is there?

00:38:02.000 To my knowledge, I don't want to call one.

00:38:05.000 Well, again, Why are they singling you out?

00:38:12.000 for selective enforcement as we know the socialists do.

00:38:15.000 My verbal voice sounds like a frog done at a deep well and it carries so well they remember it.

00:38:22.000 Now don't forget folks that we did this story filmed it Sunday, played it that Monday and then by the 31st I didn't see that around Mr. Ellington's.

00:38:38.000 I don't think his three-inch grasp was causing a problem.

00:38:41.000 And I think him not watering helps conserve water.

00:38:43.000 But past that, so the footage you saw at the first was when we went out to a well-known council person that's been re-elected.

00:38:52.000 And they had tarp on the roof, vines, grass everywhere, mosquitoes flying around, 15 times worse than his, Mr. Ellingson's property.

00:39:00.000 Now I'm going to show you the footage that we went and got that Monday of the health department.

00:39:05.000 And again, we didn't go check this out at first.

00:39:07.000 We just went right out to the health department and checked it out.

00:39:09.000 And they were worse.

00:39:10.000 So what we found is all these bureaucrats that are out telling us how to live, they're all 10 times worse than the most average home in central Austin on West 37th.

00:39:21.000 Stay tuned for this and then in a few minutes we'll be back to the main program.

00:39:24.000 Hi Mr. Ellington, I could see that you've lived here what since 1947 you said?

00:39:28.000 May of that year.

00:39:30.000 May of 1947 and look at these nice trees.

00:39:32.000 It's nice, it's pretty...

00:39:34.000 They were real small when I first came.

00:39:36.000 Yeah, and there's pretty English ivy growing here in the trees and you've got a nice shield around your tree over there to keep it healthy.

00:39:42.000 Boy you're a right winger.

00:39:43.000 And I saw your pretty little cats earlier.

00:39:45.000 I could see why the city really really wants to get its hands on this property like they've done countless others.

00:39:51.000 Make a parking lot out there perhaps.

00:39:53.000 Oh yeah, or you know get some rent from a good liberal lawyer. 0.91

00:39:57.000 Yes, wouldn't that be nice of them.

00:39:59.000 Something loving.

00:40:00.000 Well again, we've seen the right wing evil, we've seen how much trouble you're causing.

00:40:04.000 I'm sure them sending you these letters saying they'll put liens on your house if you don't comply with their terrorism, whatever that is.

00:40:11.000 I'm sure we're going to all be safe.

00:40:12.000 Women on the green belts will be safe. 0.99

00:40:14.000 People in their cars will be safe from carjackers.

00:40:16.000 All because they're harassing you.

00:40:17.000 Yes, I mean, it's fantastic.

00:40:20.000 Things are backwards nowadays.

00:40:22.000 Well, we were leaving Mr. Ellingson's place in less than 150 feet from where he lives, right in the middle of the street, some giant potholes.

00:40:32.000 There's some behind us and some in front of us.

00:40:34.000 Let's drive up here back and look at them.

00:40:36.000 See, the city won't even wipe its own nose, but it'll abuse older people in town and force them, terrorize them into giving them more money for their bureaucrat behavior. 0.99

00:40:45.000 See, all the money is going for bureaucrat salaries.

00:40:48.000 It's not going to actually do the work of the city.

00:40:50.000 Now they have to force us to do everything.

00:40:52.000 Here, let's see the loving potholes.

00:40:55.000 Right here, folks, on the Jeff Davis Show.

00:41:00.000 Here we are, just right down the road again.

00:41:03.000 And look, they're telling him to mow his yard.

00:41:06.000 When his grass is three inches high and he hasn't mowed it, when this kind of stuff's going on, about a six inch deep pothole, and there's more down here.

00:41:17.000 So ask yourselves, what kind of country is this?

00:41:20.000 Well, that's the truth of it.

00:41:22.000 All they do is harass the citizens, push the people around.

00:41:25.000 We're losing more and more of our personal rights, and they're making despotic inroads into private property, while at the same time not taking care of the essential services.

00:41:33.000 You see, they dangle essential services in front of your head.

00:41:36.000 Oh, you want the potholes filled?

00:41:38.000 Oh, you want the EMS to have radios, don't you?

00:41:40.000 See, they pay for the essentials last and pay for all their greed and strange bureaucratic behavior first.

00:41:46.000 This isn't an attack at your average bureaucrats, government workers.

00:41:50.000 I'm talking about the people that are under the control of our federal government that want to pay homage to them.

00:41:56.000 Here we are at the loving, caring city.

00:42:01.000 Austin Health and Human Services, Travis County Health Department, Environmental Health Services Division, down here on 15 Waller Street.

00:42:08.000 And look at all the weeds over there.

00:42:10.000 Look, it's worse than, much, much worse than Mr. Ellingson's ever was.

00:42:15.000 Look at that air conditioner.

00:42:17.000 Look, that's six-inch grass.

00:42:19.000 Oh, I'm going to take the city building.

00:42:21.000 If it doesn't fix it, we'll have to put a lien against the city building for Mr. Charles Ellingson.

00:42:30.000 Oh, and look at that tree.

00:42:32.000 Look at those weeds right here, producer.

00:42:35.000 Oh my gosh.

00:42:37.000 Oh, this is just the worst.

00:42:39.000 Oh my gosh. 1.00

00:42:42.000 Now, folks, I know this seems really stupid, doesn't it? 0.99

00:42:44.000 What is the big deal about weeds growing? 0.99

00:42:46.000 Much less on somebody's private property.

00:42:49.000 Oh yes, the city's being well taken care of.

00:42:52.000 Look how nice the city buildings are.

00:42:55.000 Mmm, boy.

00:42:56.000 Always built nice.

00:42:58.000 You can always trust government buildings to be built nice.

00:43:01.000 Yes, I don't see any flowers growing like there are at Mr. Ellingson's.

00:43:06.000 Here we are, 15th Waller Street, at the Health Building.

00:43:11.000 Yes, this is where little terrorist activities are launched from in abusing the citizens of Austin, people that pay for their homes, like Mr. Ellingson, who's had his home since 1947, owns his home outright.

00:43:25.000 They can't stand that.

00:43:26.000 Look at it!

00:43:27.000 But it's this power.

00:43:29.000 Look at those bureaucrat notebooks and things up there.

00:43:31.000 Think of all the wonderful harassment that goes out of this little mobster building.

00:43:36.000 Words and pictures can't describe.

00:43:38.000 You have to be out there at the health department and just see how run down and messed up it was with trash on the ground and thousands of cigarette butts and weeds growing up everywhere and walls falling down.

00:43:47.000 It was just really depressing.

00:43:50.000 And again, from council members to the health department that does the citations, $2,000 a day for not having your grass cut of it's over three inches.

00:43:57.000 It's out of control. 0.71

00:43:58.000 It's hypocrisy.

00:44:00.000 Council members, do something.

00:44:01.000 Do something now.

00:44:04.000 And something scary about that letter was it said, Objectional Material.

00:44:08.000 Well, I mean, they had trash all over the place and cans laying around the ground and just piles of cigarette butts and diseased-looking birds hopping around.

00:44:16.000 I mean, that's not, and I don't, nobody's faulting them.

00:44:18.000 Why are they faulting, you know?

00:44:20.000 And the paper comes in after we did that story and comes in defending the health department.

00:44:24.000 They're shaking people down, man.

00:44:25.000 They're shaking them down.

00:44:27.000 Plain and simple.

00:44:28.000 Just to recap, there's Ellingson's house.

00:44:31.000 And there's the council member's house, and now here's the health department. 0.69

00:44:36.000 Total hypocrisy.

00:44:37.000 The health department's too big to show it all to you.

00:44:40.000 It just was all the way up.

00:44:45.000 Hello, Austin, Texas.

00:44:46.000 We're back, and Jeff's got something else important to say.

00:44:49.000 Well, y'all just saw it.

00:44:49.000 I did my best job on that with your producer, and that's kind of a melding with last week's story and this week's story.

00:44:56.000 The state's encounters, so we go out and attack one of their precious city council members.

00:45:04.000 I want to just mention one thing here, folks.

00:45:10.000 This was handed to me about 15 minutes ago.

00:45:13.000 I actually can't find the piece here real quick.

00:45:15.000 However, folks, what it is...

00:45:17.000 I'll find it for you.

00:45:18.000 Okay, you go ahead and find it.

00:45:20.000 Trucker's Magazine.

00:45:22.000 Go ahead and find it.

00:45:24.000 Okay, but anyway, I want to just mention, first off, Alex, I appreciate your work on it.

00:45:28.000 Hey, you bet.

00:45:28.000 Thank you, producer.

00:45:30.000 Secondly, folks, let me just mention, I want to thank my sponsor, KFIT Radio, for sponsoring the program.

00:45:39.000 And this is it right here.

00:45:42.000 Okay, here we go.

00:45:43.000 I want to just mention this here real quick.

00:45:46.000 Now, this is something we've been talking about.

00:45:48.000 Now, you can comment on it.

00:45:49.000 This is the...

00:45:50.000 Can we get a close-up of this real quick here?

00:45:52.000 This is the July 97 issue of Trucker's Magazine.

00:45:58.000 Trucker's News.

00:46:00.000 And it's, you know, it's for truckers and this kind of thing.

00:46:04.000 Now on page 59. Okay, let me switch it over here to page 59. Now here it is, folks.

00:46:11.000 This is something we've been talking about.

00:46:13.000 Now this is presented as good.

00:46:15.000 Look at this, Alex.

00:46:16.000 New technology enables quicker, more efficient transfer of information between truck and terminal.

00:46:22.000 Now, here it is, folks.

00:46:24.000 Let's get a close-up of this.

00:46:26.000 This is something we've been talking about for a long time now.

00:46:29.000 Now keep in mind, with the piece that we just showed, this relates to the piece that we just showed with the hypocrisy and allowing bureaucrats to dictate how we control our lives, how they perceive that we should control our lives.

00:46:45.000 This is a new system that we've been talking about on this program for at least the last two years.

00:46:50.000 It's called Smart Highways.

00:46:53.000 Now, this is what, about a nine-page article?

00:46:55.000 Yeah, there's one point in here.

00:46:57.000 Let me go ahead.

00:46:58.000 Let me just go ahead.

00:46:59.000 But this is presented to us as good, folks.

00:47:02.000 Now, the key to understanding this is if we allow them, and Alex, you can comment on this, but if we allow them the opportunity to dictate to us...

00:47:14.000 How we spend our retirements like they do with Social Security.

00:47:17.000 You can only work so many hours when you get Social Security.

00:47:19.000 Well, now they're talking about going after the pension funds for our best interest.

00:47:21.000 They've been such good stewards of the Social Security fund, raiding it and blowing it out.

00:47:25.000 Now they want to run more.

00:47:26.000 Let me just make this clear.

00:47:27.000 They want private pension funds.

00:47:28.000 If we allow them the opportunity to control our retirements, to control our properties, as we just saw in that...

00:47:34.000 For our best interest.

00:47:37.000 They track our financial transactions with the IRS through smart cards, and now our mobility through busing, high-speed rail, and smart highway.

00:47:49.000 Three pieces ago, me and your producer showed the telephoto cameras they're putting up all over Mopac.

00:47:53.000 Now, do you not think, folks, that they will take this technology and accelerate...

00:47:59.000 They're tyranny.

00:48:00.000 They're power grabs.

00:48:01.000 They're power grabs.

00:48:02.000 They're property grabs.

00:48:03.000 We've already got all the power.

00:48:03.000 Let's face it, folks.

00:48:04.000 This is technology being used in a negative sense.

00:48:08.000 Well, the thumb scan.

00:48:09.000 Now, of course, this trucker's news.

00:48:10.000 I mean, to buy and sell within five years, their plan is...

00:48:12.000 Okay, we'll take some quick calls.

00:48:14.000 I mean, within five years, thumb scanning.

00:48:16.000 I wanted to just bring that up because, see, you can see where we're going.

00:48:19.000 We never heard about thumb scanning in the news, did we?

00:48:21.000 They just did it.

00:48:21.000 A federally mandated program, the state did it.

00:48:25.000 This story actually implies that it's in our best interest.

00:48:31.000 Okay, we'll get to this next week a little bit more.

00:48:33.000 This actually gives me just a few...

00:48:35.000 Okay, let's go ahead and take a few calls.

00:48:37.000 I appreciate that, Steve.

00:48:38.000 Okay, let's go ahead and take some calls here, and we'll see what's on your all's mind here.

00:48:43.000 Hello, caller.

00:48:45.000 Hello.

00:48:46.000 Hi, Jeff.

00:48:48.000 First, I want to say I really enjoy your show.

00:48:50.000 Can you hear me?

00:48:51.000 Well, maybe we won't take some call.

00:48:54.000 There you go.

00:48:54.000 Hello, caller.

00:48:55.000 Yeah.

00:48:56.000 Hi, ma'am.

00:48:57.000 Yeah.

00:48:58.000 I live over by Travis State School.

00:49:00.000 You remember that.

00:49:01.000 They shut it down, and they're doing nothing over there. 0.97

00:49:06.000 And it's not really relevant to what you've discussed tonight, but I want to tell you that pay-as-you-throw bullshit is bullshit because I'm out over at Farm Road 969, and my recycling doesn't get picked up. 0.97

00:49:19.000 I've been out here like... 0.97

00:49:20.000 Five and a half years.

00:49:22.000 Because all this so-called recycling is all about kickback socialism for these rich recycling companies.

00:49:27.000 You know, they double...

00:49:29.000 Wait, hold on.

00:49:30.000 Let her go ahead.

00:49:31.000 They cut the rate.

00:49:32.000 We're running out of time.

00:49:33.000 They cut pickup by trash in half, then they doubled the rate.

00:49:36.000 Okay, go ahead, man.

00:49:38.000 We're running out of time.

00:49:39.000 What I want to tell you is that, you know, I talk to the people at the recycling office, and I have some schmuck over there telling me that he doesn't want to talk to me anymore about it. 0.99

00:49:49.000 And I'm telling him, well, I'm one of the first founders.

00:49:51.000 I'm in my 40s now.

00:49:53.000 And to me, that was important then.

00:49:55.000 Well, he's above you.

00:49:55.000 He's got some power over you.

00:49:58.000 Man, let me ask you.

00:49:59.000 Do you see some of these things that we talk about on this show happening?

00:50:02.000 Oh, absolutely.

00:50:03.000 What's your first name, ma'am?

00:50:04.000 It's Chloe.

00:50:05.000 Chloe, that's a pretty name.

00:50:06.000 You can call either comment line.

00:50:07.000 We may do a story on that.

00:50:09.000 I'm going to start doing stories every week on Jeff's show and on my show.

00:50:11.000 I mean, my show's on Wednesday and Thursday nights.

00:50:13.000 I'm not sure if I'm going to get my series.

00:50:15.000 If I get a good series slot, I may get a good series slot down here.

00:50:18.000 The only other point I want to make is that only when I call the mayor's office, and that's been through two mayors.

00:50:24.000 You know, we're in the second mayor now in the last five years.

00:50:29.000 Well, as soon as I called them, I mean, they got out here real fast, but it really sucks that I should have to call the mayor's office for them to do their job out here.

00:50:38.000 Well, see, let me just mention something to you, Chloe.

00:50:40.000 All these companies that the city hires to cut trees and things, it's a scam, too.

00:50:44.000 It's all Kickback City.

00:50:45.000 Let me just mention something to you, Chloe.

00:50:47.000 This is the problem of allowing a Big Brother government the power to do this.

00:50:52.000 Let me just mention, how they manipulate these processes...

00:50:57.000 Doesn't really matter.

00:50:58.000 What matters is that they force us to participate.

00:51:01.000 Right.

00:51:01.000 That's the problem.

00:51:02.000 That's the whole thing.

00:51:02.000 They get us used to following their orders.

00:51:04.000 And it's none but lies.

00:51:05.000 None but lies.

00:51:06.000 Thanks, guys.

00:51:07.000 Yeah, God bless you, dear.

00:51:08.000 Okay, next caller.

00:51:09.000 You're on the air real quick here.

00:51:11.000 Hello, caller.

00:51:11.000 You're on the air.

00:51:12.000 Hello?

00:51:16.000 Okay.

00:51:17.000 We lost the other caller.

00:51:18.000 Yeah, let me go ahead and...

00:51:19.000 Okay, let me go ahead, Alex.

00:51:21.000 Go ahead.

00:51:21.000 We've got just about a minute of something to go here.

00:51:23.000 Well, I'll put up my comment line if your producer wants to do that.

00:51:26.000 People have any ideas for stories?

00:51:28.000 I mean, your producer, I'll do it with other people.

00:51:29.000 And I appreciate, Jeff, the job you do, how you bring real diversity to television programming every Monday night from 7.30 to 10.30 p.m.

00:51:37.000 And, again, there's my shows for the next month and a half.

00:51:40.000 I don't know when they'll be on after that.

00:51:41.000 On Wednesday night from 7 to 8.30 p.m., and I'll be airing the story again.

00:51:46.000 That's Wednesday night from 7 to 8.30 p.m.

00:51:48.000 And then on Thursday nights from 9 to 10.30 p.m.

00:51:50.000 right here on Channel 10. And look, folks, I didn't go out to attack this council member or the health department.

00:51:56.000 It's them out bullying people for three-inch grass.

00:51:58.000 Let me just mention that.

00:51:59.000 And these water waster hotlines and all this other BS has got to stop.

00:52:03.000 Environmentalism of the establishment is not environmentalism.

00:52:06.000 It is fascism.

00:52:07.000 This is why I think it's an important story because it's a local issue that people can grab onto and they can see how we're being bullied by these mechanisms.

00:52:15.000 You got us.

00:52:16.000 That's why we should support Access Television because I'm going to start doing these stories every week if I can.

00:52:21.000 Ellen, I've got some stories in the works that are secret with your producer that are going to make this look like chicken feed.

00:52:27.000 Let me just mention, folks, first off, we've got some other stories coming up.

00:52:32.000 We're going to call them the Fun Break, and we're scheduled to do them with Joyce Isaacs at 1300 a.m.

00:52:39.000 on the dial.

00:52:40.000 And we've been talking to her, our producer, and we're hoping to do some more stories with Joyce.

00:52:46.000 And with that, folks...

00:52:49.000 I appreciate all the calls.

00:52:50.000 I appreciate, well, we didn't take you there now, but that's okay.

00:52:53.000 I want to thank my sponsor, KFIT Radio, one of my sponsors, 1060 AM. And Alex Jones, keep up the work, my friend.

00:53:02.000 And that's about it, Austin.

00:53:04.000 God bless you.

00:53:05.000 If people want to see that story again, this Wednesday, 7 to 8, 30 p.m., I'm probably going to play it again.

00:53:09.000 Guys, if you can't think for yourself, you're either a prisoner or a slave.

00:53:11.000 Speak out.

00:53:12.000 God bless you, Austin.
