➡ The speaker is upset about their tax money going to organizations they believe are not providing government services, specifically Planned Parenthood. They also express frustration with the government’s involvement in wars and the military-industrial complex. They mention a conference in Washington state to support sheriffs against state government overreach. The speaker also discusses their admiration for a sheriff in Alabama who they believe understands and respects the Constitution.

Sounds like a good time. I think even if I stop paying my taxes, which I haven’t done yet, but it’s very possible that I will very soon, if the Trump administration doesn’t do something about getting the IRS off our backs, abolishing the IRS, but more importantly, defunding Planned Parenthood. I’m not going to pay my money, my talents, biblically speaking, to a murderous organization that provides no government service. No taxpayer dollar should be going to any organization that has nothing to do with government. They do not provide any government service. In fact, I think it’s quite the contrary, quite the opposite, because the Declaration of Independence says we’re based on life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and this organization destroys all three.

Destroys the right of a baby in the womb to breathe, to be born, to simply be, and have life, and to experience one of the choicest blessings from God Almighty, and that is life. And so I’m to the point where I just don’t think morally I can keep paying money that is used for the horrible things that our government uses money for, but that’s probably the worst one. And there’s a lot of bad ones, but that to me is the worst one. It’s certainly in the top two or three. I mean, literally, there’s other programs that kill people as well, and I agree with you 100%.

And it’s getting worse and worse and worse. Well, you’re right. Well, and the stupid wars that we get involved in, and we’ve been involved, America has been involved in a lot of stupid wars, that, that, again, if you really look at it, especially Vietnam, that just promoted the military industrial complex, and the money and the greed that goes into that. And, you know, it’s kind of alarming to me too that any president who has a general or former general as an advisor, you know, every time they ask them, what should we do? What do they say? Show them war, bomb them, you know, and John McCain even had a bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran, you know, was singing that song.

And, you know, that’s why, one of the main reasons why I didn’t like John McCain, and he was my senator, and, but I do not honor him in his death. I’m not glad that he died. I don’t wish that on anyone, but everybody’s going to die sooner or later. But what he did as a senator for Arizona, he was horrible. He did not know the proper role of government. He was quite socialistic. He ran for president against Obama and got beat badly. And that’s the reason being is there was not much difference between him and Obama.

And so he didn’t present anything that was really contrary to Obama. And so neither did Mitt Romney when he ran against Obama. But anyway, Jack, I want to thank you for finding that article. I can always count on you to be watching for things like that. And the sheriff, Nick Smith, in Walker County, Alabama, folks, we’ve got to be ready to do a fundraiser for him. He’s already committed to go to our conference in Washington state. We need to raise money for that. Folks, this is what we plan to do. We’re going to have a conference in Washington state to help save the sheriffs from the overreach of the state government and that the state legislature trying to legislate what the sheriff has to do.

Folks, you’ve heard of ex post facto laws. That’s law after the fact. So you somebody commits an act and they go, oh, well, let’s make that against the law. At the time that he committed that act, it wasn’t against the law. That’s an ex post facto law. So you make a law and then you go arrest him. That’s illegal. It has to be against the law at the time that he committed that act. And also in that same area of the Constitution, it says letters of Mark and a letter of Mark is this. The legislature makes a law for enforcement or for courts.

And so they say, if someone is found guilty of drunk driving, you have to sentence them to five years in prison. Or law enforcement has to arrest them and has to do this and this and this and look at the minimum sentencing laws. Those are all letters of Mark and reprisal. And they’re against the law. The legislature cannot control the other two branches. Yes, they can pass laws, but they can’t tell me how to enforce the law. And they can’t tell anyone in law enforcement in the executive branch what they have to do to perform. So, folks, this is why the separate branches, the separation of powers.

And so we’re going to help this guy. And then this is exactly what we want. And so we’re going to have him there. We’re going to have Sheriff Marks from Iowa and Sheriff Wagner from Adams County, Washington, and probably quite a few other sheriffs from Washington. Sheriff Bob Songer is helping us with this. And then one of our old sheriffs, who’s now a County Commissioner, Brad Rogers. We love to hear what he says about his story when he stood up to the FDA and the U.S. Marshals and the DOJ. So, God bless all the sheriffs that have done that.

It looks like we’ve got a new sheriff in town with the CSPOA. And we’re going to help him. He’s going to help us. And he’s going to be very involved in what we do. It still surprises me that he hasn’t heard of us, especially in a conservative county like his. But look, that’s going to happen from time to time. So, any other comments from any of you or questions that you have about this situation with Sheriff Smith, Jack? First of all, Stephanie found that article because I had to go out this morning. And so I’ll give her credit for that.

But yeah, we look pretty carefully for things that ring that kind of bell. So, but I just was impressed with the fact that he is he’s actually a constitutional person. He obviously grew up in a world where they taught him something about the Constitution. And you can see and feel that he understands it intrinsically. In fact, when you do understand the Constitution, you become that kind of person. It is natural law. It’s written on paper, but it’s actually just a cut out of what is really actually natural law and things that would normally happen to keep peace.

And for people to be able to get along perfectly together, share property, be able to speak without being held accountable for it, except unless it may cause some sort of problem, etc. That’s natural law. And that’s what this gentleman seems to be aware of. Anyway, that was a that’s a great guess. So he’s a he’s a good guy. I totally like how he came across. I really like the stand that he’s taking. He understands the common sense of all this. Yeah, this this Alabama bureaucracy is not his supervisor and they do not get to run his office.

And so, yes, you know, they have a legitimate job to do, but they usually take it too far and they are. And that they can recommend training for peace officers in the state. But to give them the over-the-shoulder treatment like this, oh, you can’t let a jailer who’s not a certified peace officer of the state drive a car and sit in it in front of a school. Do you understand that that helps keep the school safe when the SRO, the school resource officer, is sick? And he’s kind of got a bigger department. It’s kind of a mid-sized department.

You know, 100 deputies. That’s pretty good size. And they cut him down to 85. Well, you know what? When you get cut like that, when you get cut about 20, 25 percent, you’re going to have to be creative in what you do. And so he was. And and now they want to arrest him for it. Yeah, they don’t even they shouldn’t even have arrest authority. They’re a bureaucratic organization within the state, and they can make recommendations for the sheriff, but they can’t control him. And they’re not supposed to. And so people just don’t get it.

The government is not king. And bureaucracies are never king, okay? Absolutely. That’s why they want to come up with certification, because just recommendations wasn’t strong enough for them. Obviously, they couldn’t wrap their heads and hands around them. So anyway, I agree with you 100 percent there. [tr:trw].
