[00:31] Speaker 3: They may take our lives, throw us in jail, steal our property, defame our character, but they cannot kill the truth. And for the next two hours, the truth is back in business. Freedom means never having to ask those people whom you have allowed to run your government for you for permission to do anything. That is the birthright of all Americans and all free people everywhere. Media are supposed to be watchdogs over, not mouthpieces for the government. I encourage you to look at the facts, disregard unverified information you receive from the government or media, and come to your own common sense conclusions. After all, it is your life. You should decide how to live it. This show is about truth, justice, and liberty. We'll also show you practical ways to live free in today's surveillance society and give you a good picture of how the globalist cancer is infecting the world and what you can do to stop it.

(laughs) Also, we'll bring you another invaluable edition of Lessons in Liberty, where you learn really useful things they never taught you in public school.

[04:50] Speaker 3: And welcome back to the Global Freedom Report. I'm your host, Brent Johnson. The Supreme Court struck down Louisiana's congressional map last week, ruling that the state relied too heavily on race when it created a second majority Black district. The six-three ruling means Louisiana's current map, (coughs) known as SB8, cannot be used as drawn. The decision sends the case back to a lower court and sets the stage for yet another round of congressional redistricting in a state that has spent years fighting over its political boundaries. At the center of the case was Louisiana's 6th Congressional District, which lawmakers redrew to connect Black voters from Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Alexandria, and Shreveport.

[05:53] Speaker 3: The district stretched across much of the state and was designed to have a Black voting age population above 50%.According to the opinion, there are only two compelling interests that allow a state to discriminate based on race: avoiding imminent and serious threats to safety in prisons, and remedying specific identified instances of past discrimination that violated the Constitution or a statute. The court said compliance with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act can also provide a compelling interest in some redistricting cases, but the majority said that applies only when the law actually requires the state to use race to fix a voting's rights violation. Lawmakers created the district after a separate federal court found that Louisiana's previous map likely violated the Voting Rights Act because it included only one majority Black district, even though about one-third of the state's population is Black, but the new map quickly drew another lawsuit.

[07:12] Speaker 3: Opponents argued the state had gone too far in the other direction by using race as the main factor in drawing the district. The Supreme Court agreed, meaning Louisiana will again have to redraw its congressional lines, likely closer to the map lawmakers approved in 2022, which included one majority Black district centered around New Orleans. Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito said Louisiana's effort to comply with the earlier Voting Rights Act ruling was understandable, but still unconstitutional. The court said the Voting Rights Act did not require Louisiana to create a second majority Black district, so the state had no strong enough legal reason to use race in that way. This is where the Supreme Court disagreed with the earlier federal court ruling in the Robinson case, which had found that Louisiana's previous map likely violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

[08:21] Speaker 3: In, in sum, because the Voting Rights Act did not require Louisiana to create an additional majority minority district, no compelling interest justified the state's use of race in creating SB 8, according to Alito. That part of the decision could make it harder to bring successful Voting Rights Act challenges in redistricting cases. Ju- Justice Elena Kagan, joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson, dissented. Kagan argued the majority had weakened one of the central protections of the Voting Rights Act and made it easier for states to dilute minority voting power. "The Supreme Court has ended Louisiana's long-running nightmare of federal courts coercing the state to draw a racially discriminatory map," Louisiana Attorney General Liz Morrell said in a statement. "That was always unconstitutional, and this is a seismic decision reaffirming equal protection under our nation's laws." I got a comment on this.

[09:48] Speaker 3: One of the problems that we have, both in the judiciary and in, in the legislature, and very frankly, in much of the executive branch, is that these people who work for the government are acting like we live in a democracy. Now, we, we do, we do not live in a democracy. We have never lived in a democracy, and both the Declaration of Independence, which out- outlines specifically what our government is, and the Constitution for the United States, which specifies the powers of government, in neither case is the word democracy even used. Our founding fathers and the framers of our Constitution considered a democracy to be, their words, "repugnant to a free society." The American military training manual, as long as it was included, they stopped including it after 1928, but up until then, it had the definition of democracy and the definition of republic, and under de- democracy, it specifically said, "A mobocracy leads to tyranny." That's what a democracy is.

[11:13] Speaker 3: A republic said, leads to statemanship- statesmanship, justice. Mm-tt, so, we are not a democracy, and when the minority liberal vested interest members of the Supreme Court sit there and say, "Well, it's not fair," because you're not, you're not, uh, you're not giving more, more Black people more rights to vote. That's not true. They have the same rights they've always had to exercise the right of suffrage and choose who they want. They're just not getting special consideration because they're Black, and nor should they. You shouldn't get special consideration 'cause you're white, 'cause you're Black, 'cause you're yellow, 'cause you're red. It makes no, no difference.And so, you know, I... This is why I never even allow a guest to get away with the D-word. If I have a guest who says, "Democracy", I will interrupt the guest and I will say, "Excuse me, we do not live in a democracy.

[12:23] Speaker 3: We live in a republic." So, those are my comments on this latest Supreme Court ruling, which I think is an ap- appropriate ruling. It is not a racially discriminatory ruling by any means. 8- 866-870-KRLA is the toll-free number if you'd like to be part of the show. 866-870-5752. We're gonna, we're gonna take a break.

[14:30] Speaker 7: How long is it going to be before you finally resist and say, "No. I will not comply."?

[14:40] Speaker 5: Freedom Fever. Catch it today.

[14:43] Speaker 8: Greed, deception, abuse of power, that's no plan. See, I'm the enemy. That's what I like to think. I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy who likes to sit with a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs or the fried order of gravy fries? I want high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and buckets of cheese, okay? I wanna smoke Cuban cigars the size of Cincinnati in a non-smoking section. I wanna run through the streets naked with green Jell-O all over my body reading Playboy magazine. You know why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to. Okay, pal? I've seen the future. You know what it is?

[15:15] Speaker 8: It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas licking a banana broccoli shake thinking, 'I'm an Oscar Mayer wiener.'"

[15:20] Speaker 9: All right, then why don't you take charge and lead these people outta here?

[15:23] Speaker 8: I'm no leader. I do what I have to do. Sometimes people come with me.

[15:28] Speaker 10: We are seeking a real solution. The liars now we know. Now's the time for a revolution. The liars have to go. (singing) Out in Arizona, where the desert winds blow. A sheriff wore a badge that the whole world would know. Not for fame or fortune, not for glory or gold. Just a common law man, standing rugged and bold. Raised in the Southwest, part of Graham County's finest. He believed the Constitution still mattered, not a test. When DC came calling with demands from afar, he stood his ground beneath the western stars. Sheriff Mack, standing tall. For the rights and freedoms meant for all. One man, one badge, one unwavering stand. Defending the Constitution across this land. Ordinary law man, extraordinary fight. Holding the line for what he knew was right. Through the storm and the political attack. America, remember Sheriff Mack. He wasn't chasing headlines, didn't ask for the fight. Just wanted to serve his county and sleep at night.

[17:37] Speaker 10: But the pressure kept building from the halls of DC. Trying to tell local sheriffs what they had to be. So he took his oath and he carried it on. All the way to the courtroom in Washington. A Supreme Court victory came down. And a small town sheriff shook the nation's ground. Sheriff Mack, standing tall. For the rights and freedoms meant for all. O- (music) Extraordinary man, extraordinary fight. Holding the line for what he knew was right. Through the storm and the political attack. America, remember Sheriff Mack. No horse and saddle like the lawman of old. But the courage inside him still burned like gold. Another chapter written in America's flame. Where ordinary people rise to greatness and fame. Sheriff Mack, standing tall. Still answering freedom's call. A badge of promise, a constitutional track. History won't forget Sheriff Mack. Oh-oh-oh. Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm. Oh-oh-oh. Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm. Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.

[19:51] Speaker 3: Richard Mack s- served in law enforcement for 20 years with duties including patrol officer, corporal, sergeant, un- undercover agent, school resource officer, and detective, specializing in preventing crimes against children. In 1988, he was elected to the Office of Sheriff in Graham County, Arizona, where he was raised. He served as sheriff for eight years. In 1991, while serving as sheriff, he graduated from the FBI Academy. He has been married to his wife, Dawn, for 50 years. They have five children and 15 grandchildren. He became the first sheriff in American history to sue the federal government, a case that, that was ultimately combined with motions from other sheriffs into Mack and Prince versus the US, and was decided by the US Supreme Court. The 1994 case against the Clinton administration was regarding provisions of the Brady Bill, a gun control measure that required sheriffs to perform background checks on potential gun buyers.

[21:06] Speaker 3: The court ruled that the federal government could not compel state or local officers to enforce federal regulatory programs. It has been hailed as the most powerful 10th Amendment decision in USA history. Sheriff Mack has been named NRA Law Officer of the Year, was inducted into the NRA Hall of Fame, received the Cicero Award, the Samuel Adams Leadership Award, Gun Owners of America's Defender of Second Amendment Award, Elected Official of the Year Award. He has authored a number of books on subjects such as the proper role of law enforcement, the power of the office of sheriff, gun control, states' rights, and related issues. He, he has appeared on CNN, Fox, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, Newsmax, New York Times, LA Times, USA Today, over a thousand radio networks worldwide, and countless internet streams. Sheriff Mack is the founder and president of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association.

[22:12] Speaker 3: This org- organization is dedicated to the restoration of individual liberty and the protection of fundamental rights, and has provided hundreds of training seminars to sheriffs, police, and public officials in all 50 states and in several countries across the world. Sheriff Richard Mack, it is my privilege, my honor, and my pleasure to welcome you back to the Global Freedom Report. How are you, Richard? Richard, can you hear me? Okay, that's all right.

[28:48] Speaker 18: There was once a dream. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper, and it would vanish. It was so fragile. And I fear that it will not survive the winter. Let us whisper now, together, you and I. I will empower you to one end alone, to give power back to the people and end the corruption. Would you accept this great honor that I have offered you?

[29:59] Speaker 14: And welcome back to The Global Freedom Report. I'm your host, Brent Johnson. And that, that clip that you just heard from Gladiator, Marcus Aurelius speaking to General Maximus, okay. If you've ever read, and if you haven't done it, you should...

[30:17] Speaker 3: Plato's Republic, it's an 800-page treatise on the meaning of justice, and in it, Pl- Plato says, "In the ideal government, whoever is in charge doesn't want to be in charge." Okay? That's the key to a just government, where whoever is in charge, whether it's an emperor, a president, it doesn't really matter, okay? Who- whoever is in charge does not desire the power. That, as Marcus Aurelius said, is what defines you as being incorruptible, which leads me to my guest, Sheriff R- Richard Mack. Richard, it's so good to have you back with us. How are you?

[31:10] Speaker 5: (laughs) It's, uh, great to be back with you, Brent. I'm doing fine. Um, uh, I'm- I just got finished, uh, cooking, uh, Mother's Day dinner for my wife and my daughter, and they're gonna be here in a half an hour, so, um, I- and maybe, maybe after they get here and they can set the table and stuff, maybe I have a little extra time to be with you, but I do-

[31:32] Speaker 3: I sure- I s-

[31:33] Speaker 5: ... I do so appreciate the friendship, and I appreciate you having me here.

[31:36] Speaker 3: And I sure do hope so, 'cause I- es- especially since we lost to you in the previous segment and everything.

[31:42] Speaker 5: Yeah, I do.

[31:42] Speaker 3: I'd like to take you into a- a little bit of the second hour. Um, but, um, please extend to Dawn and to your daughter my wishes for a happy Mother's Day.

[31:54] Speaker 5: Thanks, I will.

[31:56] Speaker 3: S- so let's start out, okay? Th- the real basics. What is the difference between a law enforcement officer and a peace officer?

[32:08] Speaker 5: (laughs) Well, that's why our organization is called, uh, the County Sheriff ... well, The County Sheriff: America's Last Hope is my book, but the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association. We didn't put "law enforcement officer". We didn't put "police officer". A police officer is a policy enforcer, and law enforcement officer, well, I would love to call all sheriffs and cops a law enforcement officer if they would actually enforce the law. And- and most people would say, "Well, that's what they do. That's why they're here." Uh, m- they've never been trained in the law, like the law from Frederic Bastiat, the book, The Law, and the Constitution, the supreme law of the land, and the oath of office that each of us take. So I'll quote the Constitution of Delaware, the first state. "The sheriff is the conservator of the peace in every county," and that's why we're a peace officer, because we conserve the peace and we protect the people, what?

[33:23] Speaker 5: From all enemies, both foreign and domestic. So if that happens to be a federal bureaucrat or a state bureaucrat who is trying to enforce policies and regulations instead of upholding and defending the United States Constitution, that is a huge difference, and every peace officer in this country should be absolutely, um, part of the, uh- uh, holy cause of liberty in defending our God-given rights we were born with when we became Americans.

[34:01] Speaker 5: So-

[34:01] Speaker 3: Well, I-

[34:02] Speaker 5: ... that's the big difference.

[34:03] Speaker 3: I- I- I-

[34:03] Speaker 5: I hope I didn't go too long on the answer.

[34:05] Speaker 3: I- no, no, no, no, no, no.

[34:06] Speaker 5: But our- a job of a peace officer is to protect every citizen's God-given rights.

[34:11] Speaker 3: Well, and the interesting thing is, uh, you know, I- I've never liked the term law enf- enforcement. Enforcement. (laughs) I- I- I've- I've never liked that. When I hear peace officer, I think, "I can go along with that. I like that," you know? You're- you're trying to keep the peace.

[34:29] Speaker 5: Yeah.

[34:29] Speaker 3: So, okay, how did you originally discover the truth about the powers of a sheriff? You- you are- you're- you're very noteworthy in what you know about it, but that wasn't always the case, I'm sure. How'd you actually find out-

[34:45] Speaker 5: No, it was interesting. It- it-

[34:45] Speaker 3: ... how powerful the sheriff is?

[34:47] Speaker 5: I didn't learn it until I actually ran for sheriff, because I- that's when I really started studying the history of the county sheriff. I even read Anderson on sheriffs, and it was- it was pretty boring. Uh, and I don't know, though, if he was giving his opinion in it. I mean, he- he, you know ... but regardless, it brought me to the point of writing a book about sheriffs, and I also wrote a book about, uh, law enforcement, the proper role of law enforcement, and I know you would like that part because it's all dedicated to defending the Constitution. And so, uh, I really don't care, uh, what anybody calls it. Uh, you know, peace officer is my favorite, but as- as long as every, quote, "law enforcement officer" will keep his oath and enforce and defend the Constitution of the United States and enforce and defend the constitution of their states, then the ve- the American people are gonna be the winners of all of that. But lamentably, we're not.

[35:57] Speaker 5: And so, when I first became sheriff, I wanted to know what the job of the sheriff was, and then, uh, that's when I really discovered it. And, uh, so I never intended to run for sheriff. I just wanted to get my 20, 25 years in, uh, with Provo Police Department, but then several epiphanies occurred with me and my wife, and we moved back to Arizona and ran for sheriff. Uh, and to make a long story short-From absolute miracles and epiphanies, as I mentioned, uh, I became, uh, the sheriff of Graham County where I was from, where both my wife and I were from. And I hadn't even lived there for 12 years, and I'd never been in any law enforcement or police work or governmental work anywhere in the state. Um, I, I was a stock clerk and assistant manager at a grocery store, uh, when my wife and I got married. Before that, I was an all-star athlete and I had some name recognition for that.

[37:00] Speaker 5: But other than that, this was really a miraculous election, and ever since then, it's even been more miraculous because I went to the United States Supreme Court and won a case against the Clinton administration, um, at, at the, um, United States Supreme Court. So, all of this-

[37:18] Speaker 3: Yeah.

[37:18] Speaker 5: ... has just been so miraculous that I've just been dumbfounded by most of it.

[37:24] Speaker 3: Well, and I think that it's a statement that God put you in this place, you know? If God, God decided you... He, he wanted you in this capacity, and when God says he wants you in this capacity, well, you just gotta do it.

[37:37] Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.

[37:37] Speaker 3: It's as simple as that. Now, you set up an organization called the Constitutional Sheriff and Peace Officers Association. Um, what, w- what exactly are you trying to accomplish with that, and, you know, what's your overall objective and how is it going? You, you've had this going for quite a while. Uh, how would you characterize it today?

[38:02] Speaker 5: Well, it was, uh, formed in 2011 in Fredericksburg, Texas, uh, because, uh, the patriots of Gillespie County asked me to come out there and speak four or five times, and finally one of the group said, "Hey, Sheriff Mack, why don't you just move here?" (laughs) I said, "It's too far away from all my grandkids," and I thought they were kind of kidding, and they said, "We're not kidding." And so I said, "Well, uh, my wife has never been here." Uh, you know, she says, "We wanna fly you and your wife out here. We want you to really, uh, tour the town." It's a very small town, but it's a beautiful town, and, um, we did. They made me an offer to live there for one year with the intent of forming a national sheriffs' organization dedicated, uh, to the Constitution.

[38:53] Speaker 5: So, that's what we did, that's where I came up with that name, and then 20 months later, uh, we moved back to Arizona and we had the first Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association National Convention in Las Vegas on January 30th of 2012, and it was just so miraculous and so wonderful. And ever then, we've been training sheriffs and cops and public officials, county commissioners, city councilmen, mayors, state reps, uh, and that really wanna focus the... Our, our goal is to have all local officials focus on enforcing the Constitution and that the American people, county by county, the American people, we the people county by county, will be a part of this because the people, we the people are the most powerful part of our government, and the sheriffs and peace officers answer to us. They answer to we the people, and we educate everyone about that, especially we the people because a lot of them don't know that.

[40:03] Speaker 5: That we elect the sheriffs, we appoint the sheriffs, and they answer only to us. We are their only boss or supervisor, and therein lies their power. And I'm talking about therein lies the sheriff's power and therein lies the power of the people. And we want them working together to do one thing, Brent, and that is to restore our Constitution as the supreme law of the land, and thereby-

[40:30] Speaker 3: Exactly.

[40:30] Speaker 5: ... protect the civil rights of every citizen in our jurisdictions.

[40:35] Speaker 3: Okay, now st- stand by for a second. Okay. Uh, speaking over to the studios right now, I want you to forget about the coming break, okay? Because we r- because, uh, we... I, I want to give Richard as much time as possible, so the upcoming break, just forget it. We'll go straight up to the top of the hour. That will be our next break, okay? Uh, hope- hopefully they heard me. Hopefully we'll be okay with...

[41:06] Speaker 5: (laughs)

[41:06] Speaker 3: (laughs) with that, eh? This is try- you know, trying to, trying to do these kinds of things on the fly, on, on live, uh, live broadcasts. Now, I understand you've run into some troubling and very serious efforts by Washington state to interfere with the role of county sheriffs. Can you tell us about this?

[41:30] Speaker 5: Yes, it's the worst state in the union, uh, for protecting liberty, uh, for adhering to the Constitution, and it's the worst woke, crazy state in the union. And that's saying a lot. Worse than New York even. Worse than Illinois even. Worse than California even, and about three years ago, they came up with this home rule charter for King County, that's the greater Seattle and Olympia area, and lo and behold, in that new charter, they said, "Oh. Well, we're not gonna let the people elect their sheriff anymore. We're just going to appoint them and that's part of our charter, so nobody can do anything about it." Well, the people should've, uh, woke up (laughs) , uh, but they didn't. But the rest of the state kind of did. And so, uh, then the attorney general started suing Sheriff Wagner in Adams County because he was helping with deportation.

[42:30] Speaker 5: He's actually trying to get the human traffickers, the rapists, the people in cartels and others who sell children into sex slavery, and the international terrorists out of their state, out of his county. It's the second-largest count-, and then, the, uh, Pierce is the second-largest county, so Adams County and Pierce County were getting attacked by the state because they wanted to help ICE get rid of terrorists and all these cr- horrible criminals brought in by the Democrat Party. And so then it started expanding, and they said, "Now we're going to make a law, a state law, that is a bureaucracy that oversees the qualifications of anyone wanting to run for sheriff, and this bureaucracy, appointed by the governor, several different people appointed by the governor, will determine who can and who cannot run for sheriff.

[43:33] Speaker 5: And then if sheriffs aren't enforcing the law the way they want, they can remove the sheriff and appoint a new one." And now it's gone to c- we had our big, uh, national conference January 10th to start the ball roily- rolling to stop all of this nonsense and tyranny in Washington state, and it's been paying off. Sheriffs have gotten together to sue. Uh, the State Association of Sheriffs has gotten together to sue, and the Sheriffs' Association with the Chiefs of Police Association has now filed suit. And so far, we're ahead two to nothing, and the judges are siding with the Constitution and with we the people, and their biggest complaint was, "Why does the state legislature think that they can tell the sheriff, the, the people how to vote for their sheriffs and who can run for their sheriff? That's up to the people, not to the state government." So we're winning.

[44:33] Speaker 3: Well, e- eh, oh, yeah. Well, and, and, you know, what, what, what, what, what gets me is there are people who have supposedly taken oaths to support and defend the constitution of the state-

[44:49] Speaker 5: Exactly.

[44:49] Speaker 3: ... okay? And th- these people who've done that think that they can (coughs) essentially just dictate who can and cannot be sheriff, and, and it's such an important role. It, it, it's, you know, with, with all due respect to dogcatchers, it's not a dogcatcher, okay? You know, I mean, it, it, it's such an important role, the county sheriff, that I just, you know, I, to me, you know, to me, I wanna (laughs) , frankly, I wanna see the government officials who are, are trying to do this, I'd like to see them go to prison, frankly, okay? But, you know, that's, that's just, that's just me.

[45:32] Speaker 3: Um-

[45:33] Speaker 5: Yeah. (laughs)

[45:33] Speaker 3: ... okay. Now this, this is (laughs) , thi- this is going on in Washington. Are there other states where similar types of activities are going on where you're, you're running into maybe mink. Maybe not as extensive as in Washington state, but you're running into, you know, all kinds of efforts to control who can and under what circumstances somebody can be sheriff. Are there other states?

[46:01] Speaker 5: Well, there's, there's one other state that's not that insane, but they did a very insane thing, and that's Connecticut. They voted the office of sheriff out of the state 30 years ago, and there's, there's only eight counties in Connecticut, and the sheriffs went along with it because they were offered... They took the bribe, uh, they were offered state marshal's job that paid twice as much, and they literally just took the bribe and left. And, and so, uh, I have to give maybe the worst state in the union, maybe back to Connecticut instead of Washington, because they actually got rid entirely of the office of sheriff. Uh, but that's really what Washington state's trying to do as well, and the police state now runs Connecticut. And, and so that's what they want in all of these, uh, states that are trying to do this. Virginia, now with their crazy woke governor and AG and some of the other crazies they've got there, uh, they're leaning towards doing this now.

[47:07] Speaker 5: Uh, Maryland's starting to do some of this, and, uh, Missouri, which is a pretty red state, uh, actually did it in St. Charles, Missouri, right outside St. Louis, and they now appoint their sheriffs there. And the, the dumb sheriff went along with that one too, uh, 'cause-

[47:29] Speaker 3: Well, I mean-

[47:29] Speaker 5: ... he didn't wanna run the jail anymore. So-

[47:31] Speaker 3: ... it is, i- i- i- it, it, it isn't-

[47:32] Speaker 5: Yeah, but Missouri, Missouri still has good sheriffs, and, and I don't think it's going anywhere because that happened about six or seven years ago, and it hasn't happened any place else. But-

[47:44] Speaker 3: Well-

[47:44] Speaker 5: ... we've gotta be wary-

[47:45] Speaker 3: ... I mean, uh-

[47:46] Speaker 5: ... of this, and this is what we do-

[47:47] Speaker 3: A-

[47:47] Speaker 5: ... full-time.

[47:49] Speaker 3: Aren't there protections against exactly this kind of thing? I mean, eh, either in state or federal constitutions? Or, I mean, are... Eh, eh, it, it seems to me unacceptable that these government officials can simply do this because they wanna do it. Am I being naive?

[48:10] Speaker 5: Well, you, you said the reason why. You said it at the beginning. These people believe in democracy, and as long as you have one more than 50%, they get to do whatever they want. Very tyrannical. It's very dictatorial, and it's, it's easy to destroy the constitution, and it's easy to put...... the, the dogma and agenda of a political party ahead of the Constitution and ahead of civil rights, and that's what they're doing. And the Democrats are doing it, and sometimes Republicans do it. But the Republi- the, the Democrat Party is murdering America, and that's the title of my book that I have come out, uh, this next week.

[48:56] Speaker 5: The Democrat-

[48:57] Speaker 3: Murdering America?

[48:57] Speaker 5: ... Murder of America, and, and-

[49:00] Speaker 3: Good, good title.

[49:01] Speaker 5: ... folks, we've got to wake up, and that's what this book is about.

[49:05] Speaker 3: Well, okay. So now, the, the CSPOA, Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, okay. What are you guys doing to, to combat this? And I, I, I understand, it's not just you, okay? It's all, all the others who participate with you. So when I say you-

[49:26] Speaker 5: Right.

[49:26] Speaker 3: ... I'm talking about the plural you. But what is it-

[49:30] Speaker 5: Right.

[49:30] Speaker 3: ... you guys are, and, and women, are all doing to fight this?

[49:35] Speaker 5: W- well, Brent, w- maybe the, we need to focus on this part. The CSPOA and America will not work if the American people aren't involved with us. Does everybody get that? Jefferson warned us, Washington warned us, Madison warned us that the American people have got to be involved. They've got to be educated, and they've got to be courageous, and they've got to be watchful and vigilant to make sure that government does not exceed its boundaries, and they obviously are. And so we're the wake-up call to the American people. Join us in this holy cause. We are offering to all of you a huge opportunity to be part of a solution that is both peaceful and effective. Yes, we have a branch of the CSPOA that is just for and designed for the American people to become members. So you do two things, you help us in our cause, and you help us keep funded. It's only $11 a month, folks, and if you wanna go by year, it's only $99. That's $8 and... about $8.50 a month. What is that? Two cups of coffee?

[50:49] Speaker 5: I don't know, I don't drink coffee, but maybe a cup-

[50:53] Speaker 3: (laughs)

[50:53] Speaker 5: ... and a half of coffee a month. Folks, come on. Join us in this holy cause. Be a part of it. We need you on board. We need you educated, and we need you talking to your sheriff, and we help train you how to do that. And folks, how do we take back America, and how do we restore our Constitution? By county by county and state by state, mostly county by county. And if you have a sheriff that will listen to you and then get trained and educated just like you are, then we're on our way. And folks, we don't have enough of that yet. We've got to have you involved. I'm asking you, I'm begging you, to get involved with us. And if you can find a better, effective, a more effective and peaceful solution than what we offer at the CSPOA, join it. Please join it, and let me know, because I'll join it as well.

[51:51] Speaker 5: But folks-

[51:52] Speaker 3: Fantastic.

[51:52] Speaker 5: ... we have very-

[51:53] Speaker 3: Fantastic.

[51:53] Speaker 5: ... few peaceful and effective solutions, and this is one of them, and I'm begging you to get involved with us.

[52:01] Speaker 3: And, and I'm gonna ask you to stay just a little longer in, into the second hour, okay? I, I, I will make sure-

[52:09] Speaker 5: None of my family's here yet, Brent, so that's okay.

[52:10] Speaker 3: ... you get to... All right, uh, all right, all right, all right. And I... Let me ask this question. We are coming up on a hard break, but let me ask this question. You can answer it on the other side of the break, okay? The current situation with the movement itself, it... In your opinion, is the movement to restore the rule of law and the powers of the sheriff, is it gaining traction, or is it losing its ef- effectiveness?

[52:39] Speaker 3: And don't try and answer right now, 'cause I got a-

[52:41] Speaker 5: Sure.

[52:41] Speaker 3: ... break I have to do.

[52:42] Speaker 5: That's a good question.

[52:43] Speaker 3: And, but... And, and, and by the way, folks, if you wanna ask a que- you don't have a lot of time, but if you wanna ask a question or a comment of Sheriff Mack, give us a call right now, 866-870-KRLA, 866-870-5752.

[55:54] Speaker 25: With SRN News, I'm Mary Rhodes. First, President Trump is rejecting Iran's response to a US proposal to end the war. In a post on Truth Social, the president said he had read the response from Iran's so-called representatives, calling it "totally unacceptable". Iranian state media reported that the response had been sent to mediators in Pakistan. This comes after the president said in an earlier social media post that Iran has been playing games with the US and the rest of the world for 47 years. Senator Tom Cotton is amazed by the claim by Trump critics that Iran military is winning the war.

[59:47] Speaker 3: And welcome back to the Global Freedom Report, hour number two. 866-870-KRLA, 866-870-5752. I'm your host Brent Johnson. My guest is Sheriff Richard Mack. The, the topic is the power of the sheriff, and frankly most of you don't even realize how extensive that is. First, let me say, Richard, in, eh, everything that you've been saying, just want you to know, okay, that Lee Parker, my producer, has already put into the chat room in the studio, "I'm gonna sign up." (laughs) Okay? I'm gonna sign up.

[01:00:29] Speaker 5: Oh, good. (laughs)

[01:00:29] Speaker 3: So, yeah, you know, you are ... And if she's, if she's reacting that way, I can almost guarantee you other people will have similar, sim- sim- similar reactions. So, I had asked you before the, uh, break, okay, how is the movement going? Is it gaining traction? Is it losing its effectiveness? Where do things stand today?

[01:00:54] Speaker 5: It's, it's, it's up and down, uh, Brent, but I, I will tell you this. When we first started, we seemed to have more traction than we do now. But I will tell you also, uh, we've had so much...... um, negative attention. Um, and I'm thrilled to see that the, the national organization that has lied about us the most, who has attacked us the most, who has, um, hated us the most, hated our Constitution, hated the Founding Fathers, hated anyone that stands for the Constitution, the Southern Poverty Law Center.

[01:01:34] Speaker 3: (laughs)

[01:01:34] Speaker 5: And they've been attacking me and the CSPOA for over 30 years, and it's had some impact. Because they used to train most law enforcement agencies around this country in watching hate groups, and I figured it out. I, I had a, a real battle with them where I tried to sue them, and, uh, they got out of it on a technicality. Uh, not because they didn't do what, uh, I was accusing them of. They did. But I did about a five or six-year investigation on them of my own, and I told them, I said, "I know what you guys are doing. You're using me. You're attacking me." They made me on their... They put me on their list of the top 40 domestic terrorists in America. Now, I had some great company.

[01:02:26] Speaker 5: Uh, Judge Andrew Napolitano, uh, Congressman Ron Paul, and I can't remember too many others, but there was a lot of them that were just-

[01:02:35] Speaker 3: Me t- Me too. Me, me, me, me too. I'm a-

[01:02:38] Speaker 5: Oh, if you were on them, then yeah, that wouldn't surprise me.

[01:02:39] Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm, I'm, I'm a hate group. Yes. (laughs)

[01:02:42] Speaker 5: Yeah. So... But this is the key component of that. I spent 20 years in law enforcement, and now they're trying to say that I'm a violent paramilitary supporter, and that the CSPOA, although I claim that it's a peaceful and ev- uh, uh, peaceful process, that it's based on white supremacy, hate, and violence. And so I said, "I spent 20 years in law enforcement. I never committed an act of violence towards another human being, and now, after I'm an activist for Constitutional reform, now I'm supposedly a national, uh, domestic terrorist. How do those two jive?" And so, when I brought that up to them, and they continued the lies and would not answer my question, I realized what they were doing, and I accused them of this, and they still wouldn't answer. And I tried to get 'em to debate me in public, which they absolutely would not do.

[01:03:47] Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.

[01:03:48] Speaker 5: And I said, "How is it that you're doing this?" And I said, "I know what you're doing. I figured it out. You're using me and my organization to gain more support to, to actually scare your supporters and donors into donating you more money because you're convincing them that I'm a danger to them, and that I'm a racist, and that I'm a white supremacist. None of that is true." And they had no evidence of that whatsoever.

[01:04:19] Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.

[01:04:19] Speaker 5: And I said, "You're just using me to gain more money." And now they got indicted for doing the same thing, and I hope-

[01:04:28] Speaker 3: Yes, indeed.

[01:04:28] Speaker 5: ... the DOJ will have me come as a witness against them.

[01:04:34] Speaker 3: Oh, that'd be wonderful. Uh, you know, um, just so people have a, a, a general idea of the practical effect of having knowledgeable, powerful sheriffs, what are some of the things a sheriff can do? For, for example, okay, if, I don't know, let's, let, let's say the I- IRS is trying to enforce some of its regulations, for example, okay, without having authority to do so. Can the sheriff do something about that?

[01:05:08] Speaker 3: (laughs)

[01:05:09] Speaker 5: Yes, absolutely, and he should. And that's probably the one area where the sheriffs of this country should be th- the most active. Th- the IRS is the biggest abuser of any bureaucracy in any state or anywhere in the federal government. They are the worst, and they get away with, uh, such criminality and murder that they... You know? And, uh, and they destroy so many people with such impunity and ruthlessness.

[01:05:42] Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.

[01:05:42] Speaker 5: And so, um, in fact, that's the fight I had with the Southern Poverty Law Center, 'cause I spoke about 20 years ago in, um, (whistles) Philadelphia, the war place. Uh, what's-

[01:05:59] Speaker 3: Gettysburg?

[01:05:59] Speaker 5: Not Bunker Hill, but-

[01:06:02] Speaker 3: Gettysburg?

[01:06:03] Speaker 5: ... okay. No, maybe it was, maybe it was Bunker Hill. Anyway, it was a very famous place, and, well, I, I... I'm getting old. I know you're not, Brent. But-

[01:06:12] Speaker 3: (laughs)

[01:06:12] Speaker 5: ... anyway. So I spoke there, and they had a reporter infiltrate, and they s- supposedly quoted me word for word where I said, "I can't wait for sheriffs to take out a bunch of IRS agents." And I know I never said that. So the next time the SPLC, uh, sicked one of their reporters on me, his name was Ryan, and he quit because he was honest. I said, "Ryan, you won't last long because you're honest. You won't last long with the Southern Poverty Law Center." And sure enough, he lasted about two and a half years and got outta there. But... Because they're such liars, they only hire lie, people who will help them lie. And so, uh, I said, "I'm not talking to you guys anymore because you lie about me, and then you just go on to another lie." He goes, "Where did we lie?" So I told him, and sure enough, he went back and listened to it, and I didn't say what they said. I sai- I said that "I can't wait for sheriffs to arrest some IRS agents." And, and I stills maintha- maintain that.

[01:07:13] Speaker 5: They are some of the worst criminals in our nation or in our nation's history. But where sheriffs have risen...... uh, is, one, huge, uh, impact that sheriffs had nationally on COVID-19 mandates. And there were over 550 sheriffs that refused to go along with that. And w- they turned this thing around. And, w- uh, the best story is, um, Sheriff Chronister in Florida arrested Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne just for having church. In the United States of America, Brent, a pastor is arrested by a sheriff for having church. Now, on the other hand, Pastor Caleb Cooper went to his sheriff in New Mexico, and I actually forget the name of the county, Sierra maybe? Uh, anyway, it was, uh, Sheriff Glenn Hamilton. And he went to Hamilton and he said, "Sheriff, uh, I just want you to know, I'm not gonna close my church down. And it's because the government does not run our church. Jesus Christ runs our church, and I'm not gonna shut it down.

[01:08:28] Speaker 5: What I need to know from you, Sheriff, is what you will do to protect me and my church and our congregation." And Sheriff Hamilton responded, "If it takes me having to go to jail myself, then so be it, but I will do everything in my power to keep you open." So sure enough, Governor Grisham sent the state police to shut them down on one su- particular Sunday. The sheriff was there. He, he knew they were coming. He went out and tactfully confronted them and said, "I have deputized every single person in that church, they are under my authority. This church will remain open, and we would appreciate you leaving." The state police left, never came back, and Pastor Cooper kept his church open every second of every Sunday. Never shut down once. Now, my dear friends, which sheriff do you want in your county? And so I ask you, if you get involved with us, we will have more sheriffs just like Sheriff...

[01:09:44] Speaker 3: That's, that's fantastic. Ex- excellent, excellent example. 'Cause I want... Yeah, I wanted people to hear some of the basic examples of what, you know, th- this, this is not just-

[01:09:55] Speaker 5: But we've had, we've had sheriffs do that to federal agencies as well.

[01:09:59] Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is-

[01:09:59] Speaker 5: And especially protecting Amish farmers, because you know how those criminal Amish are. They won't pasteurize their milk, and of course-

[01:10:06] Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.

[01:10:06] Speaker 5: ... the federal government can't have that. That... Crime would be going rampant if you let-

[01:10:11] Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.

[01:10:11] Speaker 5: ... uh, uh, Amish farmers just farm the way they have for, uh, uh, 150, 200 years.

[01:10:18] Speaker 3: Mm-hmm. Yeah.

[01:10:19] Speaker 5: Y- y- That kind of criminality can never go. Y- And yet, of course, of course I'm doing tongue in cheek. The federal government, if they would just leave people alone, we could handle that, and people can decide if they want to have, uh, organic milk products or not. Okay?

[01:10:35] Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.

[01:10:35] Speaker 5: That's up to the American people. It's not up to FDA, USDA stupidity.

[01:10:41] Speaker 3: But what's important is people understand that constitutional sheriffs are there to protect your rights from that kind-

[01:10:51] Speaker 5: Correct.

[01:10:51] Speaker 3: ... of overreach. And that's, that's the point I want to make sure I get, got out there. So, that kind of answers my next question, which is, do you believe the office of the sheriff is outmoded in, in today's world? And, and obviously the answer is-

[01:11:08] Speaker 5: It's not.

[01:11:08] Speaker 3: ... no. It, it, it is very much needed.

[01:11:11] Speaker 5: We need...

[01:11:12] Speaker 3: Okay.

[01:11:12] Speaker 5: If there was ever a time that we needed constitutional sheriffs, it's now. And, and, and I like Trump, uh, but he needs sheriffs back, and Tom Homan needs the sheriffs back. Oh, and I guess, I guess some of my grandkids are here. This is Mac. So, yeah, let me finish.

[01:11:29] Speaker 3: Oh, f- f- f- fantastic.

[01:11:30] Speaker 5: So-

[01:11:30] Speaker 3: Yeah, we're just about to wrap up. Li- last thing, Richard.

[01:11:33] Speaker 5: No, so... (laughs)

[01:11:34] Speaker 3: Okay. Rich-

[01:11:34] Speaker 5: I got another five minutes for sure, but, uh, yeah. Uh-

[01:11:38] Speaker 3: Oh. Okay, well-

[01:11:39] Speaker 5: That's, that's my little Mac Wilkinson.

[01:11:41] Speaker 3: ... uh, c- cspoa.org. That's the website. Now, can people contact you through there? Uh, people who wanna contribute, can they contribute through there? Um, do you have any upcoming events scheduled? Can, can-

[01:11:57] Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.

[01:11:57] Speaker 3: ... members of the public attend those events? Give us an overview.

[01:12:03] Speaker 5: Oh, yeah. Well, we have a follow-up meeting at the end, in the, at the end of this month in Washington state. Uh, it's just gonna be that we're working with sheriffs and other activists there and trying to get, um, a class action lawsuit filed against the state with We the People. So, uh, the, the sheriffs and chiefs of police are winning. Now, we want the American people to make their voice known and file a lawsuit there as well. And so we kind of stack the deck against them, uh, because it's not over. It's still in the courts. And I hope it doesn't have to go to the United States Supreme Court 'cause I'm afraid that's gonna take too long. But so far, the Washington State Supreme Court is holding the line, and we sure appreciate that. Uh, we appreciate that more than you know. But this is going to happen some more, folks, and other attacks on sheriffs are going to happen. A- that is why we've got to build these defenses, erect the barriers, as Madison said.

[01:13:07] Speaker 5: Erect the barriers against the encroachments of the national authority. Folks, uh, we could be in real trouble. Trump could be getting, uh, uh, impeached again this year, um, well, at the beginning of 2027.... after the Democrats win, uh, the midterm. I can't see how that could ever happen after all the treason and subterfuge and cheating and lying and murdering from the Democrat Party, but you know politics better than I do.

[01:13:43] Speaker 5: And-

[01:13:43] Speaker 3: Yeah.

[01:13:44] Speaker 5: ... with the cheating that the Democrats have been able to do and are still doing, with bringing in millions and millions of new voters, uh, to be registered, and they don't have to show identification, and they can register the day of the election and vote the day of the election without having to show any identification. Folks-

[01:14:04] Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna s-

[01:14:04] Speaker 5: ... that is, that is election fraud. It's, it's voter cheating, and the Democrats are not gonna stop unless we do something to stop 'em.

[01:14:14] Speaker 3: Excellent. So cspoa.org is the website. They can contact you. They can get involved, okay. They, you, you don't have to be a sheriff to get involved, in other words, right?

[01:14:26] Speaker 5: You don't have to be a cop. You don't have to be a sheriff. All you have to be is part of the sheriff's boss, in other words, part of We The People. And folks, this is, this is the most effective and peaceful organization and the most peaceful and effective movement that you'll ever be a part of.

[01:14:47] Speaker 3: Fantastic.

[01:14:47] Speaker 5: How about this? Let's join the solution. Let's all join the solution. And yes, you can do it right at cspoa.org.

[01:14:57] Speaker 3: Fantastic. She- Sheriff Richard Mack, it's such a pleasure. It... And I'm, I'm, I'm glad I'm letting you go so that you have time w- with Dawn and with your children and with your grandchildren. And, uh, I hope you have a great rest of the day. And enjoy Mother's Day, all of you out there who are mothers. Thank you, Richard. Uh, uh, I'll see you again, I know, in, in the not-too-distant future. God bless you for the work you are doing. Take good care.

[01:15:27] Speaker 5: Thanks, Brent.

[01:15:27] Speaker 3: Okay? And-

[01:15:27] Speaker 5: We'll see you soon. And I appreciate the work you're doing, my friend. Thank you.

[01:15:31] Speaker 3: Thank you. All right. We're gonna take a break. We'll be back with more of the Global Freedom Report after these words. (dramatic music)

[01:16:42] Speaker 5: Freedom Fever.

[01:16:43] Speaker 24: I will not make any deals with you. I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered. My life is my own.

[01:16:51] Speaker 5: Freedom Fever. Spread it around.

[01:16:56] Speaker 3: All right. Welcome back to the Global Freedom Report. I'm your host, Brent Johnson. If you would like to be part of the show, 866-870-KRLA, 866-870-5752. Question for, for your consideration. Give me a call and answer this. How, how do you define freedom? Some people will say, "Well, you know, I can get in my car and go where I want." But not without your driving papers. Okay? So, um, h- how do you define freedom? And in all honesty, do you think you are very free? How much freedom do you have? 866-870-KRLA, 8- 866-870-5752. I would love to know what you think about the level of freedom that you have. You know, we talk about it. We say, "Oh, well, I, I, I live in America. We're the freest country in the world." Is that really true? I mean, can you, can you tell me something, anything, that you can do in America that is not regulated and controlled by government? Anything. I've been asking that question for 30-plus years. Nobody's been able to answer it.

[01:18:31] Speaker 3: (laughs) I think, I think the, uh, I think the, l- l- the last time somebody answered that, they said, "Well, I can still breathe," which by itself, I mean, that... (laughs) What, wh- what a comment that is on the state of freedom. So I'd like to know, you know, what do you think the state of freedom is in our country? Do you feel like you are free? How much freedom do you believe you have? 8- 866-870-KRLA, 866-870-5752. Now, with all the stuff that's going on out there these days, I'm, I- I'm sure many of you have issues you feel strongly about, either positive or negative. Strong feelings. If that's the case-I wanna give you an opportunity to call into this show and share your anger, your outrage, your frustration, or your, your, your support, if that's appropriate. The idea is for you to call in. You'll get five minutes of uninterrupted airtime to speak to hundreds of thousands of people with your rants and raves. Rants and raves.

[01:20:02] Speaker 3: You know, o- one, one of the purposes of the Global Freedom Recor- Report is to give you, the listener, an opportunity to be heard. It's, it's- no. It's not just about me telling you what I think, and it's not just about my guests telling you what they are doing. It's also an opportunity for you to be heard. So if you want to rant and rave, you contact us off the air at 888-385-3733. 888-385-FREE, and we will get you on the air to rant and rave about whatever the issue is. Now, another thing. If you'd like to actually become a, a freelance reporter, that means you have no obligation to do it, okay? You know, you know, you don't have to put any more time than you want to put in to do it, but you will actually get the opp- opportunity to be a member of the press. You can go out there, okay? Get set up with some kind of a recording device.

[01:21:16] Speaker 3: It's very inexpensive, very easy to get that, and you can, you go in, in, into the public areas and ask people about current events and topical issues, okay? And the reporters who conduct these interviews, you know, they, they're gonna need to have their own equipment for recording, but that's, you know, you can get that very, very easily. It's not expensive. And then your interviews will be submitted to the Global Freedom Report for editing before being aired on the show. You will be a man on the street or woman on the street, okay? Bonafide, real honest to God members of the press.

[01:23:53] Speaker 11: The Global Freedom Report. A common law pure trust organization is the most powerful asset protection device available. Pure trusts have been around in the USA since 1790 when patriot, Patrick Henry, created the first one. Pure trusts establish ironclad protection for real property, vehicles, businesses, and just about anything else. A pure trust creates a wall of privacy over its assets, reduces personal liability, and protects property from attachment. Freedom Bound International has been creating pure trusts for over 35 years, and none of their trusts have ever been successfully attacked. Call today at 888-385-FREE. That number again is 888-385-3733 or visit their website at freedomradio.us for information and applications for their pure trusts.

[01:28:46] Speaker 3: (instrumental music) Hey, hey, and welcome back to The Global Freedom Report. I'm your host, Brent, uh, Johnson. If you would like to be part of the show, you can get on board toll-free from anywhere in the US and Canada at 866-870-KRLA, 866-870-5752. Our question for the week, how do you define freedom? What does freedom mean to you? Do you think you are very free? If you had to quantify it, how much freedom do you have? 866-870-KRLA, 866-870-5752. Now, it's time for this week's edition of Lessons in Liberty, where you learn really useful things they never taught you in public school, and today, I wanna address common law. Now, common law is what is meant in the US Constitution when the word "law" is used, because when the Constitution was written, there was no such thing as statutory law. Law meant common law. So understanding common law is really very, very important. Now, common law predates all government. No government existed, yet there had to be a body of-...

[01:30:55] Speaker 3: unwritten, generally accepted laws that all people observed. And that is what common law is, the unwritten, generally accepted laws that all people have established for determining the nature of their inter- interactions. The source of common law is God's law, meaning common law is of a higher character than any law enacted by any government. Common law predates any statute or ordinance, and so it rests at the foundation of all law. All statutory law rests atop common law. The written word of common law is b- best defined in the Ten Commandments, though it's not precise, but the Ten Commandments are closest to identifying the principles of common law. Basically, under common law... Each of you can do absolutely anything at all that you want to do as long as you do not violate the life, the liberty, or the property rights of another. That is common law. S- Summed up, that is common law.

[01:32:42] Speaker 3: Now, if you go and do some kind of a Google search on common law, you, you will prob- probably get some kind of a statement, a false statement I might add, that common law comes from medieval England. That is not true. To say that medieval England is where common law started is, is s- simply wrong. Common law existed before government, so you cannot say that medieval England, the government, created common law 'cause it did not. Since the government did not create common law, no government can abrogate, revise, repeal, or otherwise manipulate the common law. Statements by some governments that the common law has been replaced are simply false. What authority could r- replace a law founded on God's laws? Well, God could. No government could. And this is really important for you to understand. If you set your life up, and you, you set your asset protection up, you set everything up un- under the principles of common law, no court, no government can violate the common law.

[01:34:29] Speaker 3: Now, understand, under the common law, you cannot violate the God, God-given rights to life, liberty, and property that are gifted to you by God. So, that you cannot do. But if a statutory court violates a common law protection, then the court itself has committed an act of usurpation, which, according to the Declaration of Independence, is the legal justification for armed revolution. So, common law is foundational to the United States and the United States of America, and it i- it is also foundational to England, Canada, New Zealand, Australia. Any country wh- whose laws are founded on common law is protected by common law. And you may have heard some of the ads that I put out, uh, from Freedom Bound International about pr- protecting your assets with pure trust organizations. Pure trust organizations are organizations established under common law, which means that the statutory courts, the statutory government, have no authority over p- pure trust organizations.

[01:36:19] Speaker 3: If you put your property, whether it's your house, your vehicles, your business, you put your property into a pure trust organization, that pure trust wraps an ironclad wall of protection around those assets, and nobody, not the government, not the taxing authority, not the statutory courts, nobody can interfere with the protections provided by those trusts. And by the way, the United States Supreme Court has ruled over many, many, many years-It has ruled for centuries that a pure trust organization founded on common law protects its assets from statutory courts and statutory regulations. And the Supreme Court has said that over and over and over a- ag- again. The, the first pure trust organization set up in the United States of America was set up by patriot Patrick Henry in 1790. It was called the North American Land Company, and it existed in some form into the 1990s when it finally shut down. So, my point is, that common law still exists today.

[01:38:00] Speaker 3: Government c- cannot abrogate common law. And by the way, if you actually look up any, any body of statutory law, check the Uniform Commercial Code as an example, you will find in the body of statutory law a, a clause that will say something like, "This law m- must be conducted in harmony with common law." Because statutory law cannot replace common law. It cannot abrogate common law. It cannot eliminate common law. So, whatever statutory law does, it must be in harmony with c- common law, or whatever it is, whatever it does, is s- simply invalid. And that, my friends, is today's edition of Lessons in Liberty. Common law. Do not think that common law doesn't exist anymore. It does, and the only reason you don't hear about common law is that bar card-carrying attorneys are not taught a lot about common law. Okay. Um, statutory courts are taught to disregard common law, but they can't do that. But they're taught, they're trained to do that.

[01:39:43] Speaker 3: That's why I say that people who work for government are criminals, because they are trained to violate the Constitution, to violate the common law. They're basically trained to break the law. And they, they, they will, they will always say, "Well, that's how I was trained. Well, I'm just doing my job. Well, I'm just obeying orders." Where did we hear that? "I'm just obeying orders?" Think about it, folks. Think about it. I, I want you to use your brains. I want you to think for yourself. Don't go, don't, don't go to a lawyer and ask about this, okay? Don't go to a government official and ask about this. Government official will never admit that they're doing anything wrong. You wanna know? "Our government is perfect. If you don't believe me, ask any government official." You, you think I'm kidding? I'm not. And they are all criminals, because they are trained to find ways to get around the Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land.

[01:41:03] Speaker 3: 866-870-KRLA, 866-870-5752 if you would like to be part of the show, if you'd like to answer the question. How, how do you define freedom? How much freedom do you have? We'll be right back with more of the Global Freedom Report. Stay tuned.

[01:42:31] Speaker 24: This is Lord Christopher Monckton, and if you want the truth about climate change, tune into the Global Freedom Report.

[01:42:38] Speaker 34: I've learned to pretend over the past nine years, to pretend that my victories mattered only to realize that no one was keeping score, to realize that liars do not fear the truth if there are enough liars, that the devil is just one man with a plan, but evil, true evil is a collaboration of men, which is what we have here today.

[01:42:58] Speaker 1: I was born in a welfare state. Ruled by bureaucracy. Controlled by civil servants. And people dressed in-... privacy, got no liberty 'cause the 20th century people took it all away from me.

[01:43:27] Speaker 3: And welcome back to the Global Freedom Report. I am your host, Brent Johnson. 866-870-KRLA if you'd like to be part of the show, 866-870-5752. How do you define freedom? Let's talk to Eric from Los Angeles. Eric, welcome to the show. You are on the air. How do you define freedom?

[01:43:54] Speaker 35: Okay. Well, first thing I wanna do is answer your question, then I wanna comment a little more about common law versus statutory and equi- e- equity law. Um...

[01:44:05] Speaker 3: Sure.

[01:44:05] Speaker 35: Freedom is based on, on the truth and God's policy of grace. Um, the truth shall set you free, and, uh, second Corinthians 3:17 says, "Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." And, and, um, the very first divine institution that God gave to us was free will, or volition. We have the freedom to choose. We don't have to worry about having to do what th- th- ther- it's freedom from not being told what we can't do against our will or can do agai- or, or, or must do against our will. Um, so that puts to rest the line in that popular song that freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose. That's ridiculous. Um, okay, now regarding common law, um, I hope you'll do another program. That's a subject that really requires a whole program. And, if you like, I can get you a guest for your, for your program that can explain in detail, because he's an expert on this subject, that you can't just go into a courtroom and say, "You can't touch me.

[01:45:26] Speaker 35: I'm a sovereign." Many patriots have done that and landed in jail. You basically have to do... You essentially have to do what's called a lawful, um, correction of status to reclaim residence on the land. You know, common law is law of the land. We're... We, we still have common law, but they've set that aside for a different jurisdiction, which is, as you rightly say, is statutory, it's equity, it's maritime, which means military. It means we're under a military government.

[01:46:03] Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.

[01:46:04] Speaker 35: And, um, uh, there, there... It's, it's, it's not as easy as it sounds. Although, I will say this, that our founders were not tied so much to England and their common law, because before the declaration, they, the colonies operated, uh, with the law of the Bible and, and what they chose to do. Adam Smith and John Locke were not key players in, in our philosophy as a Republican, uh, system. It was Nicholas of Cusa in the 1400s, and I'll close with this. He observed the, uh, the celestial bodies in the heavens. He was a, uh, independent Catholic bishop in Germany, and, and he said the f- the freedom of movement that these celestial bodies have, that gave him the idea for a republic. That what we needed in history, in the, in the future, way in the future, when we... And we got it. Was a republic where we had freedom. Freedom from, uh, democratic majority tyranny and oligarchic minority tyranny. There's a good definition of freedom right... I rest my case.

[01:47:28] Speaker 3: Very, very good. Eric, what I, what I would love for you to do is give us a call-

[01:47:33] Speaker 35: Right.

[01:47:33] Speaker 3: ... off the air, at 888-385-3733.

[01:47:40] Speaker 35: Mm-hmm.

[01:47:40] Speaker 3: And pass, pass, uh... And speak with my producer, that's Lee Parker, and pass onto her-

[01:47:48] Speaker 35: Mm-hmm.

[01:47:49] Speaker 3: ... the information about the person you think would be an excellent guest. I'll look into it and certainly consider it. I agree with you. I think co- common law would be an excellent topic to devote a show to, so we'll definitely take a look at that. And please, please-

[01:48:08] Speaker 35: We tried to do that.

[01:48:09] Speaker 3: You know?

[01:48:09] Speaker 35: Tried to do that about 15 years ago with a, with a independent republic, and it fell apart. That's a whole chapter that very few people, uh, know took place. Um, we set up our own government-

[01:48:21] Speaker 3: Let's take... Let, let, let's take a, let's take a look at it. Call, call us off the air, please. Okay? And I will-

[01:48:28] Speaker 35: Yes.

[01:48:48] Speaker 3: Happy Mother's Day.

[01:48:49] Speaker 36: Can you ask the question, what does freedom mean to you?

[01:48:52] Speaker 3: Yes.

[01:48:55] Speaker 36: Okay. Well, uh, I am one of the many teachers of Los Angeles who, back when our schools were coming back off of lockdown, uh, the school district was forcing us to either take a questionable shot, uh, or lose our jobs.And hundreds and hundreds of us said no. And, uh, and we did not... Honestly, I did not believe they could go through with it. And, um, and five and a half years later, we are still fighting, and we have a date this... In four days from today, so this Wednesday, May 14th, we will have a date in committee with the Supreme Court of the United States of America.

[01:49:42] Speaker 3: Tracy-

[01:49:43] Speaker 36: Our case

[01:49:43] Speaker 3: I would l- I, I, I would love to know... I, I, I would lo- I'd love to know how that goes, okay? We're running out of time today, but I would, I would love it if you let me know. Maybe, maybe next week you can maybe make a report on this and tell us how it went, how it's going.

[01:50:03] Speaker 36: Oh, that sounds great. Thank you so much.

[01:50:07] Speaker 3: Absolutely. Absolutely. If I wasn't up, if I wasn't up against... If, if I, if I wasn't up against the clock, I would actually sit there and say, "Tell me right now," 'cause I'm, I'm, I'm excited about it, and I think it's terrific that you have gotten that far, okay? And I look forward to hearing from you on that, on that information. Absolutely, please get in touch with us. And you could also call us.

[01:50:52] Speaker 36: Add us to your prayer list, anybody listening. Thank you.

[01:50:56] Speaker 3: Ab- absolutely. God bless you and happy Mother's Day. What are you willing to do to protect and preserve your liberty, just like what Tracy's doing? And what are you willing to do to protect your liberty? At the end of the day, would you be proud to tell your friends, your family, your loved ones, your children what you did today? Did you tell the truth? Did you keep your word? Did you honor your agreements? If not, then please correct any trespass on your brother or sister and do it now. Don't wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow is too late. On next week's show, Thomas Jefferson said that trial by jury is the only way to hold government accountable to the Constitution.
