  what we do We go after government overreach
• 1:48
  primarily and we have several cool projects coming
• 1:51
  up on that in that regard this year
• 1:54
  quite a bit of Topics to cover this
• 2:00
  morning and I wish to get to what
• 2:02
  I was talking about yesterday yesterday.
• 2:04
  I walked you through the overturning of the
• 2:08
  Chevron doctrine by a case called Loper bright
• 2:11
  and what that means and Then I told
• 2:15
  you about how Missouri codified that same concept
• 2:20
  into state law in a little bit more
• 2:22
  powerful fashion than then the court overturning the
• 2:29
  decision so and I thought it might be
• 2:32
  interesting to walk you through how The court
• 2:39
  system really works when they interpret law so
• 2:41
  the the decision the Chevron decision that said
• 2:49
  that courts Should defer to the Interpretation
• 2:58
  of a statute interpreted by the executive branch,
• 3:03
  which means an agency Had been around for
• 3:06
  a very long time And I think it
• 3:09
  was wrong from the jump because Interpreting the
• 3:13
  law is the judiciary's responsibility Interpretation what somebody
• 3:20
  meant and when they go to what somebody
• 3:23
  meant they usually go to because who creates
• 3:26
  these laws The laws are created by the
• 3:29
  legislature signed by the governor the governor doesn't
• 3:31
  have to sign them if he disagrees with
• 3:33
  them or the President doesn't have to sign
• 3:36
  a federal law if he disagrees with it.
• 3:39
  He doesn't have to He can also push
• 3:42
  and encourage the legislative branch to change law
• 3:45
  The interpretation is always and has and will
• 3:48
  always be the realm of the judiciary how
• 3:51
  it gets interpreted So when I first discovered
• 3:54
  the Chevron doctrine that these interpretations were done
• 3:57
  for me.
• 3:57
  I was always going well That's kind of
• 3:59
  stupid.
• 3:59
  Why are we gonna let some paid bureaucrat?
• 4:02
  Or unpaid or whatever there's somebody and the
• 4:06
  sad part is that interpretations being done by
• 4:13
  the agency really ignores the statutory intent completely
• 4:19
  or What and the the judiciary starts from
• 4:22
  a point of view of looking at a
• 4:24
  law and saying well?
• 4:25
  This is what it says Here's what it
• 4:27
  says if you want to find out what
• 4:29
  they meant you go back to arguments on
• 4:32
  the House floor you go back to And
• 4:35
  I know this is simplistic, but but I
• 4:38
  don't think that people understand it well enough
• 4:40
  there They weren't listening in 10th grade civics.
• 4:43
  You know they just weren't and Or it's
• 4:46
  important to you now Grabbed it wasn't important
• 4:49
  to me years ago.
• 4:51
  That is suddenly important to me now and
• 4:53
  So interpretations of the law shouldn't be done
• 4:58
  by some paid bureaucrat and no freakin way
• 5:01
  and maybe if and and I Know this
• 5:06
  is stupid too, and maybe it's too pie
• 5:09
  in the sky But you would presume that
• 5:12
  the president or a governor having been elected
• 5:16
  by a majority of the people That person
• 5:19
  this is really gonna sound fishy coming from
• 5:22
  me, but that person almost has the right
• 5:29
  to Interpret, and do you see what I
• 5:32
  mean, and you probably don't see what I
• 5:34
  mean, so I better explain myself the the
• 5:37
  If I'm appointed if I have been elected
• 5:40
  by the people The people have at least
• 5:43
  given me some direct authority they voted they
• 5:47
  put their hand up and said I want
• 5:49
  that guy or at least a majority did
• 5:52
  and So you know the elections have consequences
• 5:56
  as Barack Obama said Elections have consequences.
• 6:01
  Well.
• 6:01
  That's one of them the interpretation comes from
• 6:04
  the guy that you voted for which is
• 6:07
  why you see the stupid very stupid first
• 6:12
  -day actions of all these presidents that come
• 6:17
  in and just Change everything having been done
• 6:22
  by the guy before us, and why our
• 6:23
  country is such a freaking mess anyway Because
• 6:28
  they just come in and write 500 new
• 6:30
  executive orders changing everything that everybody's been doing
• 6:34
  for the last three four years now I
• 6:36
  I don't And again, I'm gonna get beat
• 6:41
  up for saying something like this But in
• 6:42
  countries like Russia in countries like China and
• 6:45
  countries where they have presidents that stay for
• 6:49
  longer Whether that's what do you call it?
• 6:54
  intentionally designed or Whether it's by election or
• 6:59
  will of the people that you might think
• 7:02
  or suppose that it is Slanted because they
• 7:05
  are staying there those sorts of systems at
• 7:08
  least have some continuity And I've always thought
• 7:12
  okay the worst thing that you could do
• 7:13
  I hired a lot of people in my
• 7:15
  life I hired a lot of people in
• 7:17
  a lot of high-level positions in my
• 7:19
  life in When I was a younger man
• 7:23
  after my army service as an HR director
• 7:25
  for some some fortune 500 companies And you
• 7:28
  hire people and one of the things that
• 7:30
  always was a key for me when I
• 7:33
  was hiring Someone would be to ask them
• 7:35
  the question well.
• 7:37
  What would be your first?
• 7:38
  Your first Three months what would it what
• 7:44
  would your first three months?
• 7:47
  look like what would your first year and
• 7:49
  a half look like you want to see
• 7:51
  if they've done any research and But it's
• 7:55
  a it's it's not a trick question But
• 7:56
  it's but it's a telling question if somebody
• 7:59
  comes in and said well I was so
• 8:01
  good at my job it that this other
• 8:03
  plant That's the same as this plant, or
• 8:05
  it makes the same thing as this plant
• 8:07
  I believe I can add to the mix,
• 8:09
  and I would come in and I would
• 8:10
  I would Mirror what I had done at
• 8:14
  the other Facility you know that I was
• 8:17
  just very successful at and I'd come in
• 8:20
  and I change everything You know I would
• 8:23
  make it mirror what I did here because
• 8:25
  it worked before Okay, that's a positive and
• 8:28
  a negative right the negative is because what
• 8:31
  if they're already working fairly well and We
• 8:36
  would like your expertise But we don't want
• 8:38
  you to come in and just immediately change
• 8:40
  everything because it's it's bad on people It's
• 8:44
  bad on the organization, and it's bad.
• 8:48
  It's frankly stupid Because you should at least
• 8:52
  watch what is going on and now Arguably
• 8:56
  running a country is a hell of a
• 8:58
  lot different than running a plant somewhere, and
• 9:01
  that is true But the changes are dramatic
• 9:04
  they are drastic they are You don't have
• 9:08
  any cooperation from the other side and what
• 9:12
  it does is it Continues the horror story
• 9:16
  that is America in a lot of respects
• 9:19
  America's great place It's a beautiful thing but
• 9:22
  you sometimes need to tweak a few things
• 9:24
  and these immediate changes is and this lack
• 9:28
  of Continuity and this change of everything is
• 9:33
  this stuff that you know leaves the world
• 9:36
  in chaos You know Donald Trump.
• 9:39
  He's gonna run for three years.
• 9:40
  He's been a Pretty Volatile president he's a
• 9:46
  volatile person that is him and there's nothing
• 9:49
  wrong with that.
• 9:50
  You know I respect that I like a
• 9:52
  lot of the stuff that he did most
• 9:53
  of the stuff that he did, but I
• 9:57
  Disagree Fundamentally with coming in and changing stuff
• 10:01
  the way that he's done Perhaps it would
• 10:04
  be better to and and yeah, they use
• 10:06
  polls.
• 10:07
  Yeah, they use all this and Arguably, okay,
• 10:10
  that's how they do it, but I hate
• 10:12
  the result Because the result is the rest
• 10:15
  of the world looks at us as unstable
• 10:17
  When's the last time you heard of another
• 10:19
  country where that's even a democratic country coming
• 10:22
  in and changing everything?
• 10:25
  Changing everything just swap it around you know
• 10:28
  here you go lost.
• 10:30
  What was it the the what was that
• 10:33
  pipeline that was gonna run from Canada to
• 10:36
  Mexico that I Forget what it's called.
• 10:40
  I don't know why I'm an idiot, but
• 10:42
  I can't remember it and On day one
• 10:45
  of the Biden presidency he came in and
• 10:47
  just canceled Gone 10 billion bucks up in
• 10:50
  smoke gone Project never never recovered who's gonna
• 10:54
  come back in you can't finish it during
• 10:56
  somebody's tenure the political decision destroys whether or
• 11:01
  not gas Or or frack fracked oil flows
• 11:07
  from North and South Dakota and Canada Southern
• 11:10
  Canada down toward Mexico or toward Texas or
• 11:14
  toward the Gulf of Mexico or wherever it
• 11:17
  just gone And for what I?
• 11:20
  Mean seriously for what it's okay.
• 11:22
  It's for environmentalists.
• 11:24
  It's for some you know.
• 11:25
  I don't know kiki bird You know who
• 11:26
  knows I don't care It doesn't matter what
• 11:29
  it was for the fact is somebody lost
• 11:32
  10 billion on that Americans lost the ability
• 11:34
  to to Benefit from gas flowing south where
• 11:41
  it needs to be fuel gas moving to
• 11:44
  the ports and Redistribution occurring as it should
• 11:46
  have occurred companies lost money people lost jobs
• 11:51
  politically stupid in my opinion And that's just
• 11:56
  one example you'd come up with all kinds
• 11:58
  of them and that never recovered and and
• 12:01
  then you get the more politicizes politicization of
• 12:05
  these things and people get to Say it's
• 12:08
  top of the see if their Elections have
• 12:11
  consequences yeah, they sure do and our country
• 12:15
  is somewhat is considered somewhat less than because
• 12:18
  of that and So that that's a one
• 12:22
  man's opinion, okay?
• 12:24
  Remember, I don't care what you think it
• 12:26
  doesn't bother me at all and you like
• 12:29
  you listening to me I hope I can
• 12:31
  convince you to the that some of the
• 12:33
  things that I say are correct But I
• 12:35
  think that's just downright foolish Just nuts you
• 12:39
  go in change everything Why cuz elections have
• 12:43
  consequences my friends?
• 12:45
  Oh, yeah, they sure do Those consequences always
• 12:49
  seem to screw me It's like what the
• 12:53
  hell have you done to benefit me ever
• 12:55
  all you're doing is going and create okay
• 12:57
  Who lost did I lose 10 billion dollars
• 13:00
  because they stopped the whatever the name God?
• 13:03
  I wish I remembered the pipeline name, but
• 13:05
  I don't and Did I lose anything from
• 13:08
  that No, did I gain anything from having
• 13:12
  it?
• 13:13
  Maybe ultimately our country's in debt up to
• 13:16
  its doodads You can decide for yourself what
• 13:21
  the doodads are but you know I had
• 13:23
  to give my left one for One reason
• 13:26
  in the right one for another But the
• 13:28
  doodads you know are are flooded by debt
• 13:32
  in the United States And we don't do
• 13:34
  anything about it Now there's some positive movement.
• 13:39
  You know we're instead of 32-trillion maybe
• 13:42
  we're at 31 trillion and the interest on
• 13:46
  it is more than our GDP every year
• 13:48
  which is frightening and there are things like
• 13:52
  that, but You know perhaps there's some positive
• 13:56
  movement with some of the things that are
• 13:58
  occurring, but we spend spend spend Diplomatic You
• 14:04
  know not diplomatic political I meant political spending
• 14:09
  Because that is what they do.
• 14:12
  That's how it works at any rate I
• 14:16
  was gonna talk some more about how the
• 14:18
  agency decisions, and how they how they impact
• 14:23
  us because of the Chevron doctrine and I
• 14:27
  am gonna share with you the sunshine letter
• 14:30
  from the Alcohol Tobacco Control, which you can't
• 14:35
  help but laugh at because it's just so
• 14:40
  stupid and so outlandish and ridiculous and You
• 14:45
  know we're gonna.
• 14:46
  You know come after them I don't know
• 14:49
  if and but I did want to cover
• 14:52
  a couple of news things first and there
• 14:55
  were a dozen Dozens dozens dozens killed and
• 15:00
  100 injured in a fire at a Swiss
• 15:02
  ski resort now the Russian Newspapers are calling
• 15:06
  it an explosion and you know Nobody knows
• 15:10
  or there hasn't been a report about what
• 15:12
  it is But a fire tore through the
• 15:14
  resort bar after midnight and the victims are
• 15:17
  from quite a few Countries and the area
• 15:20
  is sealed off.
• 15:21
  They have a no-fly zone And I'm
• 15:24
  following it because you know we want to
• 15:26
  figure out what this is especially in Switzerland
• 15:29
  Switzerland is beautiful Been there several times in
• 15:32
  life, and if you haven't been you need
• 15:35
  to go.
• 15:35
  It's a beautiful country and The story is
• 15:41
  dozens of people were killed 100 injured most
• 15:44
  of them Seriously after a fire tore through
• 15:47
  a crowded bar during a New Year's Eve
• 15:49
  party at a ski resort called Kranz, Montana
• 15:54
  Fire broke out at 1 30 a.m..
• 15:57
  Now What and I don't know if this
• 16:00
  is an important tip, but here in America
• 16:01
  We don't allow people to party when they
• 16:04
  feel like partying we shut them down we
• 16:08
  We you're not smart enough to figure out
• 16:11
  You know that you shouldn't drive drunk or
• 16:13
  whatever the reason is we shut down the
• 16:17
  world between Though I know why secondary effects.
• 16:21
  We don't want we don't want people to
• 16:23
  hang out you know and At two o
• 16:26
  'clock in the morning what human would hang
• 16:28
  out at two o'clock in the morning
• 16:29
  in?
• 16:30
  Europe is totally different in Europe the freaking
• 16:34
  bars don't even really open till 11 and
• 16:37
  They will go all night long they close
• 16:41
  when I was in Belarus here back in
• 16:45
  September in Belarus got up early went to
• 16:53
  Breakfast had an early bus going somewhere for
• 16:58
  a historic tour somewhere, I think it was
• 17:00
  breast and And Went downtown a really beautiful
• 17:05
  areas down there, and there was a couple
• 17:06
  of breakfast places I wanted to experience and
• 17:10
  went to one of them was really cool
• 17:11
  breakfast spot and While walking there from the
• 17:15
  subway stop or bus stop.
• 17:17
  I don't remember however we got there But
• 17:19
  we got there by train by bus.
• 17:21
  I can't remember and went downtown and we're
• 17:24
  walking from the stop to the downtown part
• 17:29
  and All these younger kids were just coming
• 17:33
  out of bars some of them were still
• 17:34
  standing on the streets with the beer mugs
• 17:38
  Drinkin finishing up the last of the party
• 17:41
  the Sun's up at 7 a.m..
• 17:43
  And that's typical in Europe You know in
• 17:45
  party places you know or in bars and
• 17:48
  stuff like that You know if you go
• 17:49
  to the bar before 11 you're the you're
• 17:51
  the good why am I telling that story
• 17:53
  the story has nothing?
• 17:54
  There, but but at 1 30 a.m.
• 17:56
  That place would have been packed even though
• 17:59
  even not on New Year's, so I imagine
• 18:02
  on New Year's It was packed even more
• 18:04
  so the cause of the blaze was reported
• 18:07
  as an explosion They say it remains unclear,
• 18:10
  but it says Authorities say it appeared to
• 18:14
  be an accident instead of attack Two French
• 18:18
  women said they were in the bar said
• 18:20
  that they saw fire start in the basement
• 18:22
  of the club After a bottle that was
• 18:25
  contained birthday candles was held too close to
• 18:28
  a wooden ceiling So that's what some people
• 18:32
  say the fire spread across the ceiling super
• 18:34
  quickly one of the women said who identified
• 18:38
  themselves to two women Emma and Albane the
• 18:43
  pair said that they were able to climb
• 18:45
  a narrow staircase to the ground floor as
• 18:48
  Panic broke out, and they escaped the building
• 18:51
  minutes later the fire reached the ground floor,
• 18:53
  too Wasn't immediately possible to verify you know
• 18:57
  anything video footage Showed fire spreading from the
• 19:01
  building with people outside the club running and
• 19:04
  screaming Italy's ambassador John Lorenzo Coronado told Sky
• 19:10
  TG 24 Local authorities told him the blaze
• 19:15
  was started by someone letting off a firework
• 19:18
  in the bar which set fire to the
• 19:20
  ceiling He was in Kranz Montana where he
• 19:24
  said a number of Italians had gathered seeking
• 19:26
  information about relatives and friends He declined to
• 19:30
  say if there were any Italian victims Thursday
• 19:33
  morning footage from the street outside showed the
• 19:36
  area cordoned off with forensic tents blah blah
• 19:39
  blah first responders and firefighters and Arrived at
• 19:42
  the chaos scene Dramatic scene in a complicated
• 19:47
  operation theater Victims were from other countries hundreds
• 19:52
  of personnel working on the case But officials
• 19:55
  said the grim task of identifying badly burned
• 19:59
  bodies would take a long time I cannot
• 20:02
  hide from you that we are all shaken
• 20:05
  by what happened overnight in Krenz Krenz Montana
• 20:08
  the Kenton head of police said our count
• 20:11
  is about 100 injured most of them seriously
• 20:14
  and Unfortunately tens of people are presumed dead.
• 20:19
  He said adding that patients dispatched to hospitals
• 20:23
  in Sion Lausanne Geneva and Zurich Zurich The
• 20:31
  Italian Foreign Ministry said information from Swiss Swiss
• 20:34
  police indicates 40 deaths but nobody has given
• 20:37
  a an exact figure so that is sad
• 20:43

  Taiwan maintain a one-China policy and Claimed
• 23:08
  to be the rightful rulers of China however,
• 23:11
  only a handful of countries maintain official Diplomatic
• 23:16
  relations with Taipei while most endorsed Beijing since
• 23:20
  October 71 the UN has recognized the People's
• 23:25
  Republic of China as the only legitimate representative
• 23:29
  of China to the United Nations That's what
• 23:34
  it is and the US government stated in
• 23:36
  79 that it represent, you know, we recognize
• 23:41
  The People's Republic of China as the only
• 23:47
  The PRC is the sole legal government of
• 23:50
  China So we recommend what it is and
• 23:54
  it continues to maintain close ties with Taipei
• 23:58
  and repeatedly, you know, this story is a
• 24:00
  big story and Sergei Lavrov from the Russian
• 24:04
  side in a recent interview he said that

  mutual support of in defending national unity and
• 24:09
  territorial integrity is part of What they're doing
• 24:12
  Lavrov said Taiwan is being used as a
• 24:15
  tool By the US, of course as a
• 24:18
  military strategic deterrent against Beijing, which some countries
• 24:22
  You know looting Taiwan Because they get what
• 24:31
  they want from Taiwan, I don't know I
• 24:34
  don't really take a position in that in
• 24:35
  the China thing, but I think That it
• 24:38
  really is Inevitable at some point that Taiwan
• 24:42
  will be part of China a little coffee
• 24:47
  there for me So I didn't stay up
• 24:49
  very late.
• 24:50
  I don't I didn't even watch the ball
• 24:51
  drop.

  I was a lazy lazy, dude Anyway, that's
• 24:55
  the important news I want to get back
• 24:57

  to these strip clubs.
• 29:25
  So once a quarter I never told my

• 29:32
  once a quarter I started going to Buffet
• 29:37
  yeah for the food, right and anyway, that's
• 29:40
  a stupid story and but it was fun.
• 29:42
  Anyway, and if you are looking at the
• 29:47
  food part and the but those are How
• 29:51
  do I want to put it?
• 29:52
  You don't have the vision of a Dallas
• 29:55
  strip club as a Yeah, shit hole pardon
• 30:00
  my French that you go into some place
• 30:03
  where you got Prostitutes and you got drugs
• 30:05
  and you got stuff like that.
• 30:06
  That is what people fear.
• 30:08
  That is what people don't want I don't
• 30:11
  want that, you know, but there's a you
• 30:15
  know, I don't How would you say it
• 30:19
  that I don't say diplomatically I don't have
• 30:22
  a moral a moral objection to people Doing
• 30:26
  what they would like to do.
• 30:28
  I don't have that objection if you know
• 30:30
  me well enough by now, you know that
• 30:33
  I Oh, you know what?
• 30:36
  Grigori Rasputin was killed on this day in
• 30:40
  1916 Rasputin was the guy who alleged was
• 30:43
  sleeping with the czar's wife.
• 30:45
  That was that was a 1916 109 years
• 30:49
  ago today Rasputin was dead.
• 30:52
  Maybe we should play some Rah rah Rasputin
• 30:55
  lover of the Russian Queen.
• 30:57
  I'll find that for you and we'll play
• 30:59
  it Rasputin knows those guys are famous.
• 31:03
  Anyway to get back to the story of
• 31:05
  the day.
• 31:06
  The story of the day is this when
• 31:11
  Strip club is not as a in Europe.
• 31:15
  They have fantastic places like that and it's
• 31:18
  not a A whole of drugs and prostitution
• 31:23
  It is an entertainment venue Europe has far
• 31:27
  different morals than we do one of the
• 31:30
  things that often alarms Americans because we're considered
• 31:35
  to be somewhat prudish and puritanical and we're
• 31:39
  you know Some of us are some of
• 31:41
  us aren't I don't object to that either
• 31:44
  I don't object to someone saying that's absolutely
• 31:46
  wrong and you're encouraging those girls to do
• 31:49
  something Well, what are they doing on TV?
• 31:52
  What did Lady Gaga do wearing the meat
• 31:55
  suit or whatever people are gonna do what
• 31:57
  they're gonna do Anyway, and as long as
• 32:00
  they're not harming anybody else Fine in my
• 32:04
  view now, maybe I'm wrong.
• 32:06
  Maybe we should regulate everybody.
• 32:08
  I disagree with that concept if people wish
• 32:11
  to Display the beauty of their bodies by
• 32:14
  dancing men do it too.
• 32:16
  I mean, it's much more rare but women
• 32:19
  are doing it all the time women been
• 32:20
  doing it for a million years and I
• 32:23
  don't mean this badly the oldest profession is
• 32:27
  what you know and talk about that as
• 32:29
  a job now I'm not for that by
• 32:31
  the way, you know Although there's some arguments
• 32:35
  to be made about that too, but I
• 32:37
  you know, I draw the line at that
• 32:39
  But if you want to have a strip
• 32:40
  club and you want to see some stuff
• 32:42
  anyway, very long story made short I try
• 32:45
  to tell you why I believe the way
• 32:47
  that I do Okay, and I believe freedom
• 32:50
  means freedom if you choose to do that
• 32:55
  fine I don't want you to do it
• 32:57
  walking down the street, but perhaps there could
• 32:59
  and should be a place for you to
• 33:01
  do your Displaying of your body some people
• 33:04
  call it art They have art display studios
• 33:06
  where women can sit around naked and you
• 33:09
  can draw a picture of them or paint
• 33:11
  them or whatever those are allowed their regulations
• 33:14
  related to those too, by the way, but
• 33:16
  there's it's It's okay to regulate them, right?
• 33:21
  And that's what?
• 33:23
  Missouri is attempting to do but they've done
• 33:25
  it incorrectly.
• 33:26
  They've done it wrong and so and I'm
• 33:30
  gonna get to that story about why in
• 33:33
  about 2010 11 when me and this guy
• 33:36
  lost our partnership or closed the prior business
• 33:40
  We shut it down.
• 33:42
  He asked if I wanted to Go into
• 33:47
  business with him in this place which happened
• 33:49
  to be Club GQ on the strip and
• 33:53
  I said no Perhaps that's a regret in
• 33:57
  my life And I remember at the time
• 34:00
  practicing lawn here and going yeah, that's all
• 34:02
  I need is a strip club, you know,
• 34:04
  that's You know, I'm not against them and
• 34:07
  but I'm not sure I want to own
• 34:08
  one and I said no part of me
• 34:11
  wishes I hadn't Because what he's done in
• 34:15
  that place and whether you go there whether
• 34:17
  you like it whether you dislike it is
• 34:19
  And I had only been in there once
• 34:22
  or twice twice before that He's Changed it
• 34:29
  it is it is a decent place Is
• 34:33
  it the level of the Dallas ones with
• 34:34
  five-star food and a million dollars a
• 34:38
  month going through it?
• 34:40
  No But it's a it's a it's a
• 34:42
  decent respectable respected place, you know There's not
• 34:47
  you know there isn't any of these things
• 34:49
  that the state worries about when they're trying
• 34:53
  to regulate if you drive over to East
• 34:56
  st.
• 34:57
  Louis in Illinois go to some of those
• 34:59
  shit shows that is what we're trying to
• 35:02
  prevent by regulation and that should be somewhere
• 35:06
  in the middle of that a spectrum of
• 35:09
  regulating these type of businesses somewhere in that
• 35:12
  spectrum is Is where I'm comfortable.
• 35:16
  I'm not comfortable with places like East st
• 35:19
  Louis's I'm very comfortable with places like that
• 35:23
  that are in Dallas and are very well
• 35:25
  done and millions of dollars put in and
• 35:28
  I'm quite comfortable with club GQ being run
• 35:31
  the way it is with beautiful girls and
• 35:35
  beautiful well run non Prostitutional environment and I
• 35:41
  don't know how it was run for 40
• 35:43
  years, but I know that since 2010 2011
• 35:46
  it's been run very well, okay And there's
• 35:50
  no fear that somebody is prostituting women out
• 35:53
  of there But the state the count of
• 35:55
  the shit the city doesn't bitch about it
• 35:59
  Everybody, you know, there's good Recommendations from the
• 36:03
  people like that.
• 36:04
  Maybe they don't say it publicly, but they've
• 36:06
  you know, cuz they don't want people to
• 36:08
  say Oh, geez, you're after strip clubs or
• 36:10
  people want them done the regulations say you
• 36:12
  can't have one within thousand feet of the
• 36:14
  school or whatever whatever those sorts of regulations
• 36:17
  are you can they Building a new one
• 36:20
  is Difficult anywhere, but those that have been
• 36:24
  around for a long time.
• 36:25
  Nobody touches.
• 36:26
  Okay, so fast forward 2010 the state of
• 36:34
  Missouri implemented chapter in 573 revised statutes of
• 36:41
  Missouri put in this statute and in it
• 36:45
  they put Language regarding sexually oriented Businesses now
• 36:53
  prior to that a sexually oriented business was
• 36:57
  a place where you know You'd go watch
• 36:59
  rated-x movies and highly regulated and they
• 37:02
  were you know Not as regulated as well
• 37:06
  as they should have been and you know
• 37:08
  Those types of places are just nasty if
• 37:10
  you need to go into a place to
• 37:13
  watch an x-rated movie, you know You
• 37:19
  You're you're getting what you're paying for.
• 37:21
  I think it's nonsense.
• 37:22
  It's ridiculous Why why but there are people
• 37:25
  that like it, you know, if they want
• 37:26
  to do it, you want to regulate it
• 37:28
  Anyway, the the legislature in there in their
• 37:30
  wisdom put together these laws But they cocked
• 37:33
  it up like legislatures often do and how
• 37:37
  they cocked it up was they didn't put
• 37:39
  any enforcement mechanism in there 573 is a
• 37:44
  criminal statute.
• 37:46
  Okay makes it a crime to do something
• 37:50
  to have a Business that's drinking beer now
• 37:57
  there was language in there that was that
• 37:59
  confused the issue Because it talked about those
• 38:03
  that are already built don't have to you
• 38:05
  know, don't have to comply and blah blah
• 38:07
  blah they would they did a crappy job
• 38:09
  of the Statutory enabling Statute of that gives
• 38:15
  somebody the power to regulate them the power
• 38:17
  to power of these and 573 is given
• 38:21
  to law enforcement a local matter Law enforcement
• 38:28
  so if law enforcement found something crappy in
• 38:30
  there They could you know come in and
• 38:32
  arrest somebody right for doing something They could
• 38:35
  charge someone with a crime you would get
• 38:38
  some sort of due process You would get
• 38:41
  all of the things that that you are
• 38:43
  entitled to when you get arrested Okay, you
• 38:46
  get a jury of your peers.
• 38:48
  You get a right to confront witnesses You
• 38:51
  get a right to do all of these
• 38:53
  things, right?
• 38:55
  and If you had a place in a
• 38:58
  shitty place like East st Louis you might
• 39:01
  have the cops in there every day trying
• 39:03
  to find somebody engaging in this You know
• 39:05
  selling a girl or prostitution or soliciting prostitution
• 39:09
  or something like that if you're in a
• 39:11
  place in Dallas good luck, you know the
• 39:13
  most of the people that run the the
• 39:16
  the most of the cops are in there,
• 39:18
  you know most of cops cops Councilman everybody
• 39:23
  they visit those sorts of places and let's
• 39:25
  not make any bones about that fact And
• 39:28
  they don't want to go to East st.
• 39:29
  Louis.
• 39:30
  They want to go to you know a
• 39:32
  well-respected place like that GQ is More
• 39:35
  toward the side of those in Dallas.
• 39:37
  You know if he had a you know
• 39:39
  if I had a million dollars I'd put
• 39:40
  a place like that up.
• 39:42
  Why not and And you know it serves
• 39:45
  a purpose to a lot of people and
• 39:48
  it makes good money.
• 39:49
  It's a valuable business It's a valuable tax
• 39:52
  revenue source for the bid further for the
• 39:54
  county Maybe you have puritanical views and you're
• 39:58
  against them.
• 39:59
  Well fine.
• 39:59
  Don't go in Maybe there should be advertising
• 40:02
  outside or lacks of their advertising or regulation
• 40:06
  on the advertising to you know help you
• 40:09
  deal with your You know sensitive Whatever your
• 40:15
  sensitivity so we don't want them to You
• 40:18
  don't want you to be offended because some
• 40:20
  women especially the younger ones who like to
• 40:23
  make a large amount of money It's a
• 40:26
  it's a you know there are single moms
• 40:28
  that do that stuff.
• 40:29
  Do you hate it for them?
• 40:31
  They can make a very good living What
• 40:33
  if they got screwed over by a dad
• 40:35
  and the dad doesn't pay child support doesn't
• 40:37
  do it and the girl is is very
• 40:39
  very Attractive and she chooses that option to
• 40:42
  make some money.
• 40:42
  What about the girls in Dallas who you
• 40:45
  know?
• 40:45
  I talked to several of them when I
• 40:47
  was a young man down there and asked
• 40:49
  him why they did it You know I
• 40:50
  didn't I don't judge I just was curious
• 40:52
  and they say they make enough money in
• 40:55
  there to pay for four years of college
• 40:57
  It's a good career.
• 40:58
  Why not do it I?
• 41:02
  Know arguably you can make those same arguments
• 41:05
  about prostitution.
• 41:06
  I draw the line there.
• 41:07
  You know I don't I don't really it's
• 41:10
  gonna happen anyway, but but So let's stay
• 41:14
  out of that you know nobody wants to
• 41:16
  Engage you know but these places with the
• 41:18
  places that are clean that are that are
• 41:20
  decent that have a good atmosphere That it's
• 41:23
  a safe place and people can go and
• 41:25
  see what they want to see and do
• 41:27
  what they want to do and have a
• 41:28
  Few drinks doing it fine.
• 41:30
  Who are we to judge them?
• 41:32
  Who am I to judge them?
• 41:33
  I'm nobody and who is Anybody else in
• 41:37
  as a bureaucrat to judge these types of
• 41:40
  things okay, but that's exactly what's happened, so
• 41:44
  Missouri puts in a law in chapter 573
• 41:47
  criminal code That says a sexually oriented business
• 41:52
  of blah blah blah in a sexually oriented
• 41:54
  business You can't do this blah blah blah
• 41:56
  so a lot of businesses that type of
• 41:59
  businesses filed a an action which went all
• 42:02
  the way Supreme Court of State of Missouri
• 42:04
  then Remember what the Supreme Court does they
• 42:08
  interpret statutes and they interpret the law?
• 42:11
  Written by the legislature signed by the governor,
• 42:15
  okay?
• 42:15
  I know I keep coming back to that
• 42:17
  but these are basic things that everybody needs
• 42:19
  to understand and And I think that a
• 42:22
  lot of bureaucrats even do not understand this
• 42:26
  concept all they understand is their own power,
• 42:29
  okay?
• 42:30
  And so here's here's the story as it
• 42:33
  goes today, and I'm taking a long time
• 42:35
  to do this But just follow me every
• 42:36
  day We will get through this story because
• 42:39
  I'm gonna talk about it a lot And
• 42:41
  I'm and I and I'm gonna tell you
• 42:43
  why I think the way I think and
• 42:45
  you don't have to agree with me I
• 42:47
  don't care if you want to call and
• 42:49
  argue with me about it Please do but
• 42:51
  the fact is this is how the system
• 42:54
  is supposed to work We don't get to
• 42:56
  judge the girl Dancing on a stage and
• 42:59
  getting thrown $20 bills by by men who
• 43:02
  appreciate their semi nude body You know nude
• 43:06
  dancing is not it is a well.
• 43:09
  It's a totally different thing, and that's not
• 43:10
  we're talking about I don't like that Frankly
• 43:13
  I would prefer to see attractive woman Semi
• 43:19
  nude state I don't really need to see
• 43:21
  I sure as hell don't want to see
• 43:22
  a naked man walking around you know somebody
• 43:24
  said there was a post I read on
• 43:27
  something about They call them this is rude
• 43:31
  But they call them dick pics so girls
• 43:33
  are in the dating scene and immediately guys
• 43:35
  are sending pictures of their Johnson and God
• 43:39
  here's my my meat and two veg and
• 43:42
  Here this is it you know Why why
• 43:46
  are we?
• 43:49
  Around I don't by the way, but I
• 43:51
  don't understand people that do I don't understand
• 43:53
  girls that send me naked although I'm far
• 43:55
  more receptive to that kind of thing you
• 43:58
  know it doesn't happen very often hell It
• 44:00
  doesn't happen at all, but it's a I'm
• 44:02
  not that Need to see the real.
• 44:06
  Do you know I don't need to see
• 44:08
  the The some things should remain private, let's
• 44:12
  put it that way, but that's me other
• 44:14
  people feel differently, and they're into that stuff
• 44:17
  I don't care more power to you.
• 44:20
  Just please don't include me right But I'm
• 44:23
  that way about most things Was a Jr.
• 44:27
  I think who said that I'm a much
• 44:29
  more of a libertarian if it as long
• 44:31
  as it doesn't bother me I Don't give
• 44:33
  a crap do it.
• 44:35
  You know as long as it's not impacting
• 44:38
  children that aren't allowed to Aren't allowed to
• 44:43
  don't have the capacity to do what I'm
• 44:46
  doing which is weigh consequences weigh what I
• 44:48
  want and don't want Freedom is freedom right
• 44:53
  if I just because I don't like it
• 44:56
  doesn't mean you shouldn't allow somebody else That's
• 44:58
  where I kind of draw the line, and
• 45:00
  that's who I am and so When you
• 45:03
  look at these strip clubs, and what they're
• 45:05
  doing when you get a religious.
• 45:07
  You know Right winger left winger whatever there's
• 45:11
  religious people on all from all walks of
• 45:14
  diplomatic stripe right and the Why did I
• 45:19
  say diplomatic political stripe political bent there's just
• 45:22
  a lot of a lot of Different people
• 45:26
  out there that have different views And you
• 45:27
  know that's part of the beauty of America
• 45:29
  is that people are people and why should
• 45:32
  it be that you and I should get?
• 45:33
  along so awfully stealing some depeche mode there,
• 45:36
  but it's Tell you what I don't like
• 45:42
  judging other people, and I don't like you
• 45:43
  and other people judge other people incorrectly so
• 45:45
  fast-forward once again Salmon is long stories
• 45:49
  Fast-forward once again to the current state
• 45:52
  of affairs so the Supreme Court upheld that
• 45:56
  statute the criminal statute when all of these
• 46:01
  not all of these but a group of
• 46:03
  strip clubs a group of SOBs sexually oriented
• 46:07
  businesses Fought it back in 2010 so the
• 46:12
  law I went to effect in 2008 or
• 46:15
  something like that and then in 2010 it
• 46:18
  worked its way through the court system and
• 46:20
  got to the Supreme Court state of Missouri
• 46:22
  who did some Interpretation of what the law
• 46:27
  meant and what they did is they went
• 46:29
  back to So the strip club owner said
• 46:32
  this and GQ was not involved in this
• 46:34
  by the way It was different clubs that
• 46:37
  immediately filed suit against statute I think that
• 46:39
  was a legal mistake and a bad mistake
• 46:42
  because why would you do that?
• 46:45
  Okay, that dad that was stupid somebody did
• 46:47
  it because of the money But but they
• 46:49
  attacked it in the wrong way in my
• 46:52
  opinion And they went out and they attacked
• 46:54
  it because of these secondary effects secondary effects
• 46:57
  like Prostitution secondary effects like drug sales near
• 47:02
  these type of places that you see in
• 47:03
  East st.
• 47:04
  Louis Okay, and I don't mean to beat
• 47:06
  up too much on it, but you know
• 47:07
  I've been to some of those nests driven
• 47:09
  by never been in no But but it
• 47:13
  but you know some of them are less
• 47:14
  than clean.
• 47:15
  Let's put it that way and girls are
• 47:17
  I don't know what?
• 47:20
  Let's not go too far down that little
• 47:22
  pathway for you But I don't you think
• 47:25
  horribly of me you can think poorly of
• 47:27
  me.
• 47:27
  That's fine, but don't don't think horribly of
• 47:29
  me We Go back to the story of
• 47:34
  the Interpretation by the Supreme Court of Missouri
• 47:36
  and the mistake made by the first legal
• 47:38
  team to put this up there for these
• 47:40
  people anyway because what was done was the
• 47:44
  Supreme Court looked at what the intent of
• 47:47
  the Legislature was in creating the statute and
• 47:50
  they sat back and they reviewed all of
• 47:52
  the documents They listened to the testimony of
• 47:55
  some girls that came in and said yeah,
• 47:57
  sometimes guys would offer to pay me for
• 48:00
  sex Okay, well, that's a secondary effect of
• 48:04
  prostitution some and the legislature listened to some
• 48:08
  former strippers who are now you know soccer
• 48:11
  moms and Listen to them and said that
• 48:14
  no I didn't engage in that but guys
• 48:15
  would ask me you know stuff like that
• 48:17
  well You know you're dancing naked.
• 48:20
  You know perhaps.
• 48:22
  That's a Risk of the job.
• 48:25
  You know guys are guys and some are
• 48:27
  stupid and some some You know heck Freedom
• 48:33
  is freedom.
• 48:34
  I suppose.
• 48:35
  I don't know but but the Supreme Court
• 48:38
  went and looked at some of these Discussions
• 48:42
  in the legislature and talked about this and
• 48:45
  said they had They bought in brought in
• 48:47
  some experts that say some of the crap
• 48:50
  that I'm saying right now the legislature I
• 48:52
  mean before they enacted this statute in 573
• 48:57
  Okay now 573 statute makes it a crime
• 49:01
  a criminal matter, okay Supreme Court of Missouri
• 49:05
  says that statute is valid in a case
• 49:08
  called cello versus whoever the Attorney General was
• 49:12
  a time or Was it called cost her?
• 49:16
  I don't remember but cello V cost her.
• 49:18
  I think it was and they You know
• 49:22
  we're fighting against this statute and enforcement of
• 49:25
  the statute and blah blah blah Supreme Court
• 49:28
  of Missouri says that's a valid statute, okay?
• 49:34
  Now fine, it's a valid statute didn't impact
• 49:37
  anybody because sexually oriented businesses or You know
• 49:43
  and that's a separate definition You have to
• 49:45
  prove that somebody's a sexually oriented business and
• 49:48
  for years the term sexually oriented business did
• 49:51
  not include Semi-nude strip clubs a sexually
• 49:54
  oriented business was a nude studio was a
• 49:57
  nude X-rated videos stuff like that anyway
• 50:00
  There was a great deal of confusion around
• 50:03
  the enforcement of this, but nobody enforced it
• 50:05
  anyway because the enforcement is the local Local
• 50:12
  law enforcement local law enforcement would enforce those
• 50:15
  and The city's but remember this the statute
• 50:19
  that is now a statewide statute used to
• 50:21
  be completely local And it was set by
• 50:24
  ordinances by city ordinance you couldn't have an
• 50:27
  a strip club here So the city decided
• 50:29
  whether or not Jack should be there and
• 50:31
  the city was for it City with it
• 50:33
  had fought Jack's back in 2001 or something
• 50:36
  but since that time and especially since the
• 50:39
  ownership by my friend Steven is That they
• 50:42
  don't have a beef with it right they
• 50:44
  you know they make money from it to
• 50:46
  make revenue from it it's a safe place
• 50:48
  where as we're a community of You know
• 50:52
  tourists we have a lot of tourism a
• 50:54
  lot of people that do that a lot
• 50:55
  of guys want to go to Places like
• 50:57
  that.
• 50:57
  It's a valid place for them to go
• 50:59
  I don't like the fact that they have
• 51:00
  to shut down and then you know 130
• 51:02
  I think that's BS because some people want
• 51:05
  to stay up late, but that's me okay
• 51:08
  Fine rules are rules everybody follow the rules
• 51:11
  and GQ follows the rules and always has
• 51:14
  however There's a criminal statute that makes it
• 51:17
  a crime for a girl to expose a
• 51:19
  nipple call it and I'm making that part
• 51:21
  up because I'm not reading the statute and
• 51:24
  so when you go through all of this
• 51:26
  and There's nobody looking at it because it's
• 51:30
  a law enforcement Function it's a law enforcement
• 51:35
  Function okay, so That's the state of what's
• 51:40
  going on from 2010 when my friend asked
• 51:43
  me to participate in buying this place with
• 51:46
  him, and I said no and he bought
• 51:47
  it anyway, okay?
• 51:49
  And I like that place.
• 51:51
  I think he's done a hell of a
• 51:52
  job.
• 51:53
  I think if you go in there It's
• 51:55
  not an attractive place to come and find
• 51:58
  prostitutes.
• 51:59
  That's bullshit and Steve would throw him out
• 52:01
  anyway It's not a place where you're gonna
• 52:04
  have Nastiness and drug sales and stuff like
• 52:07
  that are bad people everywhere you have there
• 52:10
  been incidents around there Or you but you'll
• 52:12
  find those in any place on the Bagnell
• 52:15
  damn strip Okay, you'll be you want to
• 52:19
  talk about you know guys Proposition and girls
• 52:23
  tell me that a guy proposition and a
• 52:25
  girl hasn't occurred it.
• 52:27
  I don't know Casablanca Yeah Good luck tell
• 52:33
  me that they haven't offered to pay somebody
• 52:35
  look at you know I've Some guy sitting
• 52:39
  in there going look.
• 52:40
  I really like you, but I don't need
• 52:42
  a wife I'm not looking for a wife
• 52:43
  but tell you what we could go back
• 52:45
  and have a roll in the hay and
• 52:47
  I wouldn't be bad for me wouldn't be
• 52:50
  bad for you, and you know hell I'd
• 52:52
  even consider paying you for it You think
• 52:55
  that hasn't happened in other places on the
• 52:57
  strip?
• 52:58
  good luck and Tell you what people that
• 53:04
  are partying drunk people Stuff like that you
• 53:07
  that stuff might come along you might be
• 53:09
  offended by that Most women would be most
• 53:13
  women punch you in the face and deservedly
• 53:15
  so But it's you know you should be
• 53:18
  punched in the face if you're doing crap
• 53:20
  like that Maybe you should be arrested.
• 53:23
  Maybe that girl should Report you to the
• 53:27
  police You know tell me that that stuff
• 53:29
  doesn't happen not and you don't need a
• 53:32
  strip club for that is my point So
• 53:35
  that is the state of affairs all the
• 53:38
  way up to fast forward to 2022 maybe
• 53:42
  slightly before maybe 2020 and The the Wonder
• 53:51
  if I can find the actual crazy Communication
• 53:54
  that civic outlaws Discovered right we discovered With
• 54:01
  the help I mean we weren't An organization
• 54:05
  we hadn't received our 501 c3, but the
• 54:08
  idea was there But mr..
• 54:10
  Wells, and I have been friends for a
• 54:12
  very long time Stephen and the owner of
• 54:15
  club GQ I consider him one of You
• 54:20
  know very very few close friends that I
• 54:24
  could count on one hand those those Close
• 54:27
  friends because I don't I have a million
• 54:30
  acquaintances.
• 54:31
  It's like I told you yesterday You either
• 54:34
  think I'm a complete asshole, or you think
• 54:36
  I'm wonderful, and you know more power to
• 54:39
  you That's fine But but I like everybody
• 54:42
  for the most part and you really gotta
• 54:45
  piss me off to have me Dislike you
• 54:48
  you know and It there are people that
• 54:52
  I no longer consider That is and I
• 54:57
  know that there are people that no longer
• 54:58
  consider me That's a fact of life, and
• 55:01
  unfortunately you have to get used to it
• 55:03
  because people screw other people That's how it
• 55:06
  is people feel like they've been screwed by
• 55:10
  other people.
• 55:11
  I've never intentionally screwed Anyone that didn't have
• 55:15
  it coming and didn't know I was coming
• 55:19
  because I tell them I'm coming for you
• 55:22
  Trust me.
• 55:23
  I'm coming and I say stuff like that
• 55:26
  because that's who I am But you really
• 55:30
  gotta push me to get me to that
• 55:32
  point And you really gotta push me to
• 55:36
  get me to that point most the time.
• 55:38
  I'll bend over backwards trying to help you
• 55:41
  See my point of view or Fix whatever
• 55:47
  issue I might have caused okay in sometimes
• 55:52
  Unsuccessfully, but but I'll I'll try to do
• 55:55
  that anyway this sort of when you look
• 55:58
  at the clubs in the beginning this Prostitution
• 56:01
  and all that other stuff that they were
• 56:02
  trying to regulate through secondary effects Which previously
• 56:05
  was a local issue local concern now the
• 56:09
  state of Missouri throws in this?
• 56:11
  This bomb that says criminally and in you
• 56:14
  would put it criminally because it's criminal to
• 56:18
  Proposition a girl it is criminal to sell
• 56:21
  drugs These are criminal things if you think
• 56:23
  that a place like GQ Has a secondary
• 56:27
  effect that secondary effect is a city matter
• 56:30
  and the city gets to know whether or
• 56:32
  not It's a clean business or a shitty
• 56:34
  business GQ is a clean business the city
• 56:38
  likes it Well, maybe it doesn't like it,
• 56:41
  but has no objection to the way It's
• 56:44
  being run how it's being run these are
• 56:47
  local issues.
• 56:48
  These are not state issues nor should they
• 56:51
  be It is BS for the state to
• 56:54
  come in and jump into a criminal statute
• 56:56
  However if there was a highway patrolman in
• 56:59
  many highway patrolmen frequent this established if establishment
• 57:03
  if there was a Problem one of them
• 57:07
  would arrest whoever needed to be arrested because
• 57:11
  it's a criminal matter They go and and
• 57:14
  whoever they arrested.
• 57:16
  Let's say the girl is showing her There's
• 57:19
  a lady.
• 57:20
  I knew used to call it a hoo
• 57:21
  -ha What if there's a lay of girl
• 57:23
  showing her hoo-ha and you can guess
• 57:26
  for yourself what that means and she's showing
• 57:28
  the hoo-ha She shouldn't be showing the
• 57:30
  hoo-ha because that's against the law and
• 57:32
  she does it in front of a highway
• 57:34
  patrolman who happens to be in There enjoying
• 57:36
  some scenery and a brew He sees it
• 57:40
  goes up says you know what that's illegal.
• 57:43
  I'm taking you in Annie arrests her she
• 57:46
  has committed a crime that girl is gonna
• 57:48
  have all kinds of rights yes and uh
• 57:53
  that is No crap did this just happen
• 57:58
  or is this yesterday's news the u.s.
• 58:00
  Has launched its first land strike on Venezuela.
• 58:04
  Why are we?
• 58:05
  starting wars I'll talk about that another time,
• 58:10
  but it see jr.
• 58:11
  These freaking TVs distract me.
• 58:13
  I'm gonna have to turn them off I'm
• 58:15
  out.
• 58:18
  No.
• 58:18
  I'll just quit looking at him because it
• 58:19
  messes it up if I turn them off.
• 58:21

  So these secondary effects, I hope you understand
• 58:26
  what I'm saying when I walk you through
• 58:27
  the history of this But it's a it's
• 58:29
  a valuable history and the reason you need
• 58:32
  to know this history because of the ridiculousness
• 58:35
  of bureaucracy that has imposed itself upon people

• 59:11
  the scams of the HOA we're looking into
• 59:13
  The overreach of those kind of things.

  It's Samuel T at civic outlaws calm and
• 59:35
  that is Isn't quite as Stable Right now
• 59:44
  I've done something wrong set it up, but
• 59:45
  I got people where people top people are
• 59:48
  working on it okay to try to attempt
• 59:50
  to fix that so Here comes ATC and
• 59:55
  I really want to share this letter with
• 1:00:00
  you Because it's not a letter.
• 1:00:02
  It's an email.
• 1:00:03
  Okay, and There are some people up there
• 1:00:07
  in the Attorney General's office and so another
• 1:00:11
  person That is At the ATC that is
• 1:00:20
  the Acting director of the ATC and Her
• 1:00:29
  name is Kristen Templeton.
• 1:00:31
  Okay, and I've never met her, you know,
• 1:00:33
  I saw her in a court one day,
• 1:00:35
  but I've never met her And on January
• 1:00:38
  the 13th of 2022, okay, we received this
• 1:00:42
  we received this through sunshine requests 3,600
• 1:00:49
  pages we're still working on some of some
• 1:00:52
  some more and We've been back and forth
• 1:00:56
  and back and forth and back and forth
• 1:00:58
  and there that's another long story in itself
• 1:01:01
  but we've gone through a bunch of these
• 1:01:04
  records and What and how this goes Okay,
• 1:01:08
  so remember 573 criminal statute ATC granted authority
• 1:01:15
  under chapter 311 for alcohol and chapter chapter
• 1:01:20
  407 for I think it's for some for
• 1:01:24
  Tobacco, that's where they get their power in
• 1:01:27
  chapter 311 people the the Inspectors the officers
• 1:01:34
  the enforcers the ATC bureaucrats are directed to
• 1:01:42
  enforce Regulations under chapter only related to chapter
• 1:01:50
  311 and 407 things that they have the
• 1:01:54
  authority to review now they've also been Given
• 1:02:01
  or how to Qualify them for this and
• 1:02:04
  remember back the the ATC was created back
• 1:02:08
  during prohibition actually after that but but you
• 1:02:12
  always think of that when they were regulating
• 1:02:14
  some of that things is when there is
• 1:02:16
  is way back when the ATC was create
• 1:02:18
  created and they were Given the status of
• 1:02:24
  law enforcement Okay, they have to be qualified
• 1:02:27
  for the job to have a job qualification
• 1:02:30
  you have to be post certified those people
• 1:02:34
  post certification means you're a law enforcement trained
• 1:02:38
  and qualified person in order to be an
• 1:02:43
  inspector or a Enforcer for alcohol tobacco you
• 1:02:49
  have to have post certification But you are
• 1:02:54
  not a police officer you are not the
• 1:02:59
  position you hold is not a Police officer
• 1:03:03
  you cannot just be hanging out and see
• 1:03:07
  somebody I don't know drunk driving down the
• 1:03:09
  street and arrest them That's not how it
• 1:03:14
  works That is not within your authority Your
• 1:03:18
  authority comes from chapter 3 11 and 407
• 1:03:22
  and you can't Act as you you know,
• 1:03:25
  they carry guns.
• 1:03:27
  I don't know why but these these guys
• 1:03:29
  are carrying guns Why is that?
• 1:03:32
  You know, maybe Pretty soon.
• 1:03:35
  They'll be running around like every other cop
• 1:03:37
  wearing wearing What do they call those guys?
• 1:03:42
  The Jesus wearing I don't know wearing Gestapo
• 1:03:47
  type outfits And I forget what they call
• 1:03:50
  those SWAT SWAT team SWAT gear We put
• 1:03:53
  them out there body armor and crap like
• 1:03:55
  that.
• 1:03:56
  It's in your you're pushing for a confrontation.
• 1:03:59
  That's what you're doing There's no such thing
• 1:04:01
  as just a piece or police officer anymore
• 1:04:03
  Everybody has to have everything to kill people
• 1:04:07
  to maim them and By God, everybody's a
• 1:04:10
  SWAT member, you know we should give them
• 1:04:13
  all tanks next and people have been pushing
• 1:04:16
  for that, but That's a joke, by the
• 1:04:19
  way, but but here you go with this
• 1:04:22
  That is where their authority comes from.
• 1:04:24
  That is how it gets they are law
• 1:04:26
  enforcement Trained but they are not law enforcement
• 1:04:30
  Okay, so they have the training and they
• 1:04:33
  carry a gun, but they are not law
• 1:04:36
  enforcement Officers, okay.
• 1:04:38
  They are trained as law enforcement That is
• 1:04:41
  it and their position is not a law
• 1:04:45
  enforcement position.
• 1:04:46
  Their position is administrative it is the same
• 1:04:51
  as a I don't know a An accounting
• 1:04:58
  board position Regulating an accountant.
• 1:05:02
  Okay, it is that it is an executive
• 1:05:06
  branch Administrative position they are not police officers
• 1:05:11
  so what we discovered through all of our
• 1:05:14
  letters to them and getting documents from these
• 1:05:19
  Jokers I will share with you in much
• 1:05:22
  detail over the next many days because it's
• 1:05:25
  a long story and and It it and
• 1:05:30
  who knows how it's gonna end up and
• 1:05:32
  that we're waiting on a ruling on a
• 1:05:34
  couple of things right now but from this
• 1:05:37
  I want to share with you a letter
• 1:05:42
  email written by Kristen Templeton the acting head
• 1:05:47
  of ATC, okay, and I wonder why she's
• 1:05:52
  acting she's been there forever and are we
• 1:05:55
  ever gonna make her the head of ATC?
• 1:05:57
  It's a very good question, you know, but
• 1:05:59
  she has been the acting head forever And
• 1:06:03
  she sends this this email on January the
• 1:06:05
  13th.
• 1:06:06
  We receive this through sunshine requests and we
• 1:06:09
  have them and She sends this this email
• 1:06:13
  Email is good morning.
• 1:06:15
  I want you to thank for you for
• 1:06:15
  listening to me or pretending to because we
• 1:06:18
  all know I talk way too much I
• 1:06:21
  appreciate the opportunity to visit with you and
• 1:06:23
  She was so and I'm paraphrasing some of
• 1:06:26
  this and reading between the lines because I
• 1:06:28
  want to get through it Oh, it's a
• 1:06:29
  long email and she says we've been brainstorming
• 1:06:32
  new and innovative ideas We have talking about
• 1:06:36
  communication in the organization, especially places where we
• 1:06:40
  spread out across the state we're blessed with
• 1:06:42
  an abundance of autonomy Those words offended me
• 1:06:48
  greatly It just in an email and I'm
• 1:06:51
  not so positive It was meant to indicate
• 1:06:54
  what she said, but saying basically we're autonomous
• 1:06:57
  we can do what we want Because we're
• 1:07:00
  autonomous and people don't bug us yet.
• 1:07:02
  We are expected to act consistent with other
• 1:07:06
  offices I am cognizant that there are many
• 1:07:09
  things that we are unfortunately Inconsistent on but
• 1:07:13
  I'm dedicated to addressing these issues as they
• 1:07:16
  arise.
• 1:07:16
  Well, this is an issue miss Templeton And
• 1:07:20
  I have brought it up as have many
• 1:07:22
  others and you know Remember how I think
• 1:07:26
  and how I think that everybody should think
• 1:07:29
  but I don't care if you do or
• 1:07:30
  don't I'm Always open to being convinced that
• 1:07:36
  I'm incorrect always But you don't come in
• 1:07:39
  and dictate to me and just offhanded guy.
• 1:07:42
  You're wrong.
• 1:07:42
  Take a hike.
• 1:07:43
  I am giving you the argument I am
• 1:07:45
  walking you through why I believe the way
• 1:07:48
  that I believe and Why I think you
• 1:07:51
  are wrong and what you are doing is
• 1:07:53
  incorrect.
• 1:07:54
  Does it mean I dislike you?
• 1:07:56
  No, does it mean you know that that
• 1:07:58
  you know?
• 1:07:59
  I wouldn't be kind to you if we
• 1:08:01
  met or that you know You know, we'd
• 1:08:03
  punch each other in the face.
• 1:08:04
  No, this is a dispute How do you
• 1:08:07
  resolve disputes you convince each other and sometimes
• 1:08:11
  you can't convince each other in some big
• 1:08:13
  some somebody bigger comes in and says Boom,
• 1:08:15
  this is how it goes if I think
• 1:08:17
  you're wrong And I can't convince you that
• 1:08:20
  you know that does I will still comply
• 1:08:22
  if I'm forced to comply But that doesn't
• 1:08:26
  mean I'm not gonna tell everybody that I
• 1:08:27
  think you're wrong and you're full of crap
• 1:08:29
  and here you go Well miss Templeton, I
• 1:08:31
  think you're wrong and then and I'm explaining
• 1:08:33
  why I think you're wrong based on your
• 1:08:36
  own history and how you've gone through this
• 1:08:37
  and I believe that you have created a
• 1:08:40
  scenario where I Think that Jack's Inc that
• 1:08:44
  owns Club GQ should sue you For money
• 1:08:48
  and for damages that is again.
• 1:08:50
  That's nothing that is You know, I hate
• 1:08:54
  you or anything.
• 1:08:55
  I don't it's a dispute disputes get resolved
• 1:08:57
  in court by adults Adults get to claim
• 1:09:01
  what they say and the judge goes.
• 1:09:03
  Are you sure you're not being unreasonable here?
• 1:09:05
  You know what?
• 1:09:05
  You really have interpreted that wrong.
• 1:09:07
  That is why the legal system exists To
• 1:09:11
  resolve these type of disputes and that's what's
• 1:09:14
  happening and there will be further action That's
• 1:09:17
  it's just gonna happen and during this Long
• 1:09:23
  email she said two full single spaced pages
• 1:09:28
  She said the following, okay yeah, she she
• 1:09:37
  Took a let's see.
• 1:09:40
  Ah, here we go.
• 1:09:41
  So there's a attorney general Name it works
• 1:09:45
  in the Attorney General's office guy named Clayton
• 1:09:47
  Weems Clayton Weems.
• 1:09:48
  It's my understanding used to be the counsel
• 1:09:53
  for ATC used to be counsel there.
• 1:09:57
  He may have been counsel at the time
• 1:09:59
  there.
• 1:09:59
  I really don't know the answer But he
• 1:10:01
  was counsel for alcohol tobacco, right and get
• 1:10:05
  this paragraph that she said they were they
• 1:10:07
  were Had been dealing with an issue at
• 1:10:09
  a place with called cow LLC and Hamilton
• 1:10:12
  Entertainment Inc for a long time they said
• 1:10:16
  that cow was operating a sexually oriented business,
• 1:10:20
  which by the way is only defined in
• 1:10:22
  573 a criminal statute But she's decided to
• 1:10:28
  interpret and say that this place is a
• 1:10:30
  sexually oriented business mistake number one She didn't
• 1:10:34
  say we allege their sexually oriented business.
• 1:10:37
  She said they are it's possible They aren't
• 1:10:40
  she doesn't get to make that determination a
• 1:10:42
  court or a jury of competent peers Makes
• 1:10:46
  that determination not you.
• 1:10:48
  Okay, but she says this place was operating
• 1:10:50
  in a separate sexually oriented business And applied
• 1:10:55
  for a license and we denied Hamilton's license
• 1:11:01
  due only to a pending action okay, so
• 1:11:06
  they have an action that they go in
• 1:11:08
  and Administratively, no 573 no crime.
• 1:11:14
  No, nothing.
• 1:11:14
  They know they're not arresting anybody.
• 1:11:16
  They've just decided that administratively, they're going to
• 1:11:20
  go and Verify or decide what somebody is
• 1:11:26
  or is not a sexually oriented business is
• 1:11:29
  or is not breaking 573 but they're doing
• 1:11:33
  it without somebody being charged with 573 They
• 1:11:38
  cannot charge anybody under 573 and here is
• 1:11:44
  the exact Overreach that I detest and I've
• 1:11:49
  been talking about Here is how they overreached,
• 1:11:52
  right?
• 1:11:53
  We denied Hamilton a license due to the
• 1:11:58
  pending action against its predecessor Basically, which called
• 1:12:01
  a cow During this appeal Clayton this is
• 1:12:07
  the Attorney General.
• 1:12:08
  She says that Clayton discovered a statute Discovered
• 1:12:12
  the statute that I was telling you about
• 1:12:14
  before he discovered a statute that actually has
• 1:12:17
  been in place since 2010 but that the
• 1:12:20
  current leadership team was completely unaware of So
• 1:12:26
  you're unaware of a statute that came out
• 1:12:28
  in 2010 went to the Supreme Court of
• 1:12:33
  Missouri who said it was a valid statute
• 1:12:37
  in that a cello case that I was
• 1:12:40
  telling you about but ATC didn't know about
• 1:12:44
  it because number one It's not their job
• 1:12:47
  to enforce 573 they wouldn't know about it
• 1:12:53
  because it's not in their Line of authority.
• 1:12:58
  It's a law enforcement criminal Statute.
• 1:13:03
  Okay.
• 1:13:04
  Now get this because this is key she
• 1:13:07
  says Clayton whose weems he's no longer the
• 1:13:13
  Whether general counsel or just counsel for ATC,
• 1:13:16
  I don't know but he is still an
• 1:13:18
  attorney that works for a for The Attorney
• 1:13:21
  General's office and he helped her Still spoke
• 1:13:26
  with her apparently and helped her out and
• 1:13:28
  he's still their attorney today.
• 1:13:30
  I saw him in court and So he
• 1:13:35
  still helps represent them, but he's mistaken here
• 1:13:37
  Okay, and the mistake is that there is
• 1:13:40
  no authority for this but here is what
• 1:13:43
  in 2022 the the ATC acting head who's
• 1:13:51
  still the acting head and Clayton and there's
• 1:13:55
  not Clayton weems, but that's Clayton.
• 1:13:57
  She said during the extended duration of the
• 1:13:59
  appeals Clayton Discovered a statute that has been
• 1:14:03
  in place since 2010 But that current leadership
• 1:14:06
  was unaware of we later learned that then
• 1:14:09
  leadership was notified of the law taking effect
• 1:14:12
  But believe that perhaps due to timing in
• 1:14:16
  conjunction with mass layoffs Where it's never able
• 1:14:20
  to be incorporated into enforcement action.
• 1:14:24
  So here's her mistake She thinks that she
• 1:14:29
  has the power and Clayton hasn't stopped her
• 1:14:33
  because he too thinks that she has the
• 1:14:37
  power and She doesn't nor does Clayton nor
• 1:14:42
  does any actor in the ATC any Investigator
• 1:14:48
  any inspector they don't have the power Because
• 1:14:52
  it's never been given to them.
• 1:14:54
  This is where she is doing the interpreting
• 1:14:59
  That people were talking about and Remember, there's
• 1:15:03
  a statute that I went through yesterday with
• 1:15:06
  you 536 dot 1 4 0 that says
• 1:15:09
  only courts can interpret intent only tor courts
• 1:15:14
  can interpret meaning can give meaning to a
• 1:15:18
  statute if there's something confusing and they do
• 1:15:21
  that by Legislative intent by going out and
• 1:15:24
  seeing what they do if the legislature intended
• 1:15:26
  to have this 573 and forced by ATC
• 1:15:32
  they would have enabled them to do so
• 1:15:36
  and they didn't so here is bureaucratic Stretching
• 1:15:41
  bureaucratic creep if you want to call it
• 1:15:44
  that bureaucratic Overreach by people taking power that
• 1:15:49
  they've not been given why?
• 1:15:52
  Because they're bureaucrats and that is what they
• 1:15:56
  do You can't stop them bureaucratic creep has
• 1:16:00
  been around since the Middle Ages whenever they
• 1:16:04
  first started having sorts of Committees to assist
• 1:16:10
  the king in doing his You know ruling
• 1:16:13
  of the place bureaucratic creep is taking power
• 1:16:17
  that doesn't belong to you and the power
• 1:16:22
  does not belong to ATC to enforce these
• 1:16:26
  statutes and that is what this fight is
• 1:16:30
  about and So it's about bureaucratic overreach Okay,
• 1:16:35
  and a judge has been asked to determine
• 1:16:38
  this especially in light of the new statute
• 1:16:42
  So but what she says in her?
• 1:16:46
  Stealing of power that doesn't belong to her
• 1:16:48
  is she says In 573 dot zero one
• 1:16:55
  zero defines terms including now she's playing lawyer,
• 1:16:58
  right?
• 1:16:59
  To tell people what it is when Clayton
• 1:17:02
  pointed her towards this sexually oriented businesses Subsection
• 1:17:07
  B lists an adult cabaret now that wasn't
• 1:17:10
  listed before before an adult cabaret was totally
• 1:17:14
  nude Okay, and so GQ wasn't a cabaret
• 1:17:18
  suddenly She says they've been turned into an
• 1:17:22
  adult cabaret well That's possible, but you got
• 1:17:25
  to arrest him to come up to that
• 1:17:26
  you don't get to make that decision Just
• 1:17:29
  say huh it is boom there you go.
• 1:17:32
  You are an adult cabaret period okay?
• 1:17:34
  She doesn't get to define whether you're not
• 1:17:37
  you are a sexually oriented business.
• 1:17:39
  That is not her job Okay, not ridiculous.
• 1:17:44
  You can go and read it and say
• 1:17:45
  well I think this you know that you
• 1:17:47
  are but that okay.
• 1:17:48
  I think you're not so what happens You
• 1:17:52
  got to go to court, and if it's
• 1:17:54
  a criminal statute you have all the rights
• 1:17:57
  entailed in 573 you have the right to
• 1:18:00
  confront witnesses you get a right to do
• 1:18:02
  in an administrative fashion you do not in
• 1:18:05
  Administrative fashions they can say whatever the hell
• 1:18:07
  they want and you're not going to get
• 1:18:09
  any Arrest right to confront witnesses all this
• 1:18:13
  other stuff.
• 1:18:13
  It's extreme.
• 1:18:14
  It's limited in that regard We could go
• 1:18:16
  further into that But we're running out of
• 1:18:18
  time here on today's program And we're gonna
• 1:18:20
  continue with this for a little while because
• 1:18:22
  this is important right and and not important
• 1:18:25
  whether or not you like Club GQ hate
• 1:18:27
  GQ like Steve Wells don't like Steve Wells.
• 1:18:30
  I don't give a shit about any of
• 1:18:31
  that I don't care whether you like me
• 1:18:33
  or don't like me the fact is this
• 1:18:35
  is the law Okay, and the law is
• 1:18:39
  the law and who interprets it remember this
• 1:18:42
  judicial branch interprets bureaucrats do not under the
• 1:18:47
  current status of Chevron being overturned by Loper
• 1:18:51
  bright and the state of Missouri Codifying that
• 1:18:54
  getting rid of and saying that the courts
• 1:18:58
  determine in you know what the interpretation of
• 1:19:03
  a statute means a bureaucrat cannot and If
• 1:19:07
  they do we presume the result the court
• 1:19:10
  does they look at it de novo brand
• 1:19:13
  -new?
• 1:19:13
  and they consider it in the light most
• 1:19:15
  favorable toward most favorable to the restoration of
• 1:19:19
  Liberty and Individual rights and against What do
• 1:19:24
  you call it bureaucratic creep?
• 1:19:26
  They don't like that So get this she
• 1:19:29
  says later We're laying out statutory provisions related
• 1:19:34
  to sexually oriented businesses in 573 most important
• 1:19:38
  of all the provision in section 9 which
• 1:19:39
  says no person shall knowingly or Intentionally sell
• 1:19:43
  use or consume alcohol on the premises of
• 1:19:46
  a sexually oriented business Now club GQ wasn't
• 1:19:50
  a sexually oriented business ever okay, and so
• 1:19:53
  But what they're doing is now She is
• 1:19:57
  the sole repository of who is or is
• 1:20:00
  not a sexually oriented business She is the
• 1:20:03
  sole interpreter of chapter 573 dot 531 and
• 1:20:08
  so she says long story short there are
• 1:20:10
  a lot of sexually oriented businesses that are
• 1:20:14
  currently licensed and acting in violation of 573
• 1:20:17
  531 who are you to say that?
• 1:20:21
  Arrest them have them arrested Don't you don't
• 1:20:24
  get it.
• 1:20:24
  You don't get to make this determination.
• 1:20:26
  This is bullshit pardon my French Now that
• 1:20:29
  we have an agreement with the prior offender,
• 1:20:33
  okay that they were talking about now that
• 1:20:35
  they now They've discovered this law through working
• 1:20:37
  on the other plates Clayton Clayton is comfortable
• 1:20:42
  Clayton is comfortable.
• 1:20:44
  This is a lawyer advising them Incorrectly the
• 1:20:47
  Clayton is comfortable with making a public change
• 1:20:50
  to the application form Listen to this carefully.
• 1:20:55
  This is a big deal a public change
• 1:20:57
  to the application form After they submit a
• 1:21:01
  revised application as part of their settlement agreement.
• 1:21:05
  They have until mid-february Oh, that's a
• 1:21:07
  specific one and and she she said But
• 1:21:11
  this is for everybody they're applying this to
• 1:21:13
  everyone now she is changing policy right here
• 1:21:16
  in February of 2022 she's changing policy.
• 1:21:20
  We are going to make a public change
• 1:21:22
  to our application forms to ask licensees if
• 1:21:27
  their Establishment is operating as a sexually oriented
• 1:21:31
  business So here's the trick you trick them
• 1:21:35
  into saying whether they are or are not
• 1:21:38
  a sexually oriented business because she knows that
• 1:21:43
  she can't make that determination if It is
• 1:21:46
  a sexually oriented business.
• 1:21:48
  This will be a reason and the sole
• 1:21:51
  reason I Added the first sole reason for
• 1:21:55
  denial of an alcohol license moving forward for
• 1:22:00
  those that are currently licensed like GQ and
• 1:22:04
  Won't be answering that question because they don't
• 1:22:07
  have to answer that question if you're renewing
• 1:22:10
  You're renewing the same license.
• 1:22:12
  You always had here, but but listen, excuse
• 1:22:14
  me, but listen to this It will be
• 1:22:17
  a denial going forward For those that are
• 1:22:21
  currently licensed and who won't be answering that
• 1:22:23
  question unless they have a significant change Clayton
• 1:22:27
  is Working on creating a circular now this
• 1:22:31
  circular I've read it I'll share it with
• 1:22:33
  you tomorrow because I want to finish this
• 1:22:35
  email and we're gonna stop here today She
• 1:22:38
  says I assume we will give them a
• 1:22:41
  limited amount of time to shift their business
• 1:22:43
  model she is now Dictating what a place
• 1:22:47
  will do to have a liquor license.
• 1:22:50
  That's been an established business since before she
• 1:22:53
  was Born probably.
• 1:22:56
  Well, I don't know she is when I
• 1:22:57
  saw her she didn't look that old So
• 1:22:59
  who knows but it's been around 40 years.
• 1:23:01
  So maybe she's for it.
• 1:23:02
  Maybe she's born already.
• 1:23:03
  I don't know but Anyway, here you go
• 1:23:07
  This is her Stealing Authority it doesn't belong
• 1:23:13
  to her.
• 1:23:14
  Why because she's a bureaucrat.
• 1:23:17
  This is what they do they Creep they
• 1:23:22
  have bureaucratic creep if you don't have the
• 1:23:24
  authority.
• 1:23:25
  Well We'll just ask Clayton Clayton.
• 1:23:28
  He'll create a circular for us and suddenly
• 1:23:30
  we have the power but Clayton wasn't appointed
• 1:23:33
  The sole arbiter of creating a circular or
• 1:23:39
  for including 573 and an enforcement mechanism for
• 1:23:43
  a place that is only enforceable under chapter
• 1:23:46
  3 11 and 407 This is a big
• 1:23:49
  mistake This is wrong and it needs to
• 1:23:53
  be fought and Stephen Wells is fighting it
• 1:23:55
  Okay, and he should be because this is
• 1:23:59
  B s Particularly so it was BS always
• 1:24:04
  but it's now very much BS because of
• 1:24:09
  the overturning of the Chevron doctrine by the
• 1:24:12
  Loper bright decision by the United States Supreme
• 1:24:15
  Court in 2024 for federal Regulation, which was
• 1:24:20
  creeping as well Federal regulatory regulators taking power
• 1:24:24
  that doesn't belong to them because that's what
• 1:24:26
  bureaucrats do and it's also Codified in state
• 1:24:31
  statute in chapter five three six dot one
• 1:24:36
  four zero sub paragraph three particularly and you
• 1:24:41
  look at those things and this Interpretation of
• 1:24:46
  this statute we're waiting for a ruling, you
• 1:24:49
  know right now on What is going to
• 1:24:53
  be determined, but I guarantee you win or
• 1:24:55
  lose The Attorney General appeal if Club GQ
• 1:25:00
  wins and I know damn well that Club
• 1:25:04
  GQ will appeal because it's a we're this
• 1:25:06
  is the correct argument This is how it
• 1:25:09
  should end up.
• 1:25:11
  And so this will likely be a Supreme
• 1:25:14
  Court of Missouri case At some point, okay,
• 1:25:18
  because they have to make this and I
• 1:25:20
  believe this is the first challenge to or
• 1:25:24
  first Interpretation under 536 dot 140 which only
• 1:25:29
  took account went into place in August 28
• 1:25:33
  of 2025 now Remember this because this is
• 1:25:37
  important they did not have authority prior to
• 1:25:43
  2010 ATC didn't have the authority to enforce
• 1:25:49
  573 any criminal statutes they didn't have it.
• 1:25:52
  They their power comes from 311 and 407.
• 1:25:55
  That's it and 311 limits it specifically to
• 1:26:00
  violations of anything under 311 now they create
• 1:26:04
  their own regulations, but if they create regulations
• 1:26:07
  code of state regulations 70 dash Something is
• 1:26:12
  there is there bailiwick where they've created regulations
• 1:26:15
  saying certain things those regulations are also things
• 1:26:20
  that if they've interpreted what the statute says
• 1:26:23
  those are attackable and should be attacked because
• 1:26:28
  you can't just take an Interpretation that you
• 1:26:32
  make as a is a bureaucrat and pass
• 1:26:36
  it along this is what Donald Trump and
• 1:26:39
  company in the court under Donald Trump has
• 1:26:42
  done is to say that Administrators lifelong people
• 1:26:46
  don't get it come along and create Create
• 1:26:50
  law on their own.
• 1:26:53
  They aren't the creators of law the creators
• 1:26:56
  of law are the legislature and the governor
• 1:27:01
  rubber stamping and signing it and Tomorrow we'll
• 1:27:05
  go further into this will go further down
• 1:27:08
  this hole Because it's important and what she
• 1:27:12
  says later get this the circular which I'll
• 1:27:14
  share with you tomorrow she says I assume
• 1:27:17
  we will give them these every single place
• 1:27:20
  that she decides is a sexually oriented business
• 1:27:23
  a limited amount of time to shift their
• 1:27:26
  business model or Relinquish their license.
• 1:27:30
  They got to give up the license Ideally
• 1:27:31
  we can address this before renewal season and
• 1:27:35
  remedy these by the end of the fiscal
• 1:27:38
  year We know there will be some that
• 1:27:40
  slip through when we're attacking everybody But some
• 1:27:43
  of them will get through and we will
• 1:27:45
  address those as we find them And here's
• 1:27:48
  the caveat she gives and then I'll end
• 1:27:50
  the show it is worth noting there is
• 1:27:54
  a very slim area for bars restaurants to
• 1:27:57
  legally allow servers bartenders to wear bikinis and
• 1:28:01
  Not qualify as a cabaret or a sexually
• 1:28:03
  oriented business So she's acknowledging that you know
• 1:28:06
  a sexually oriented business might or might not
• 1:28:09
  be if you read the definition of semi
• 1:28:11
  -nude Which is also new under the new
• 1:28:13
  statute bullet three above to see what is
• 1:28:16
  not considered semi-nude Clayton who's you know
• 1:28:21
  Clayton has determined well.
• 1:28:23
  I don't know where he gets to power
• 1:28:24
  Clayton decided Clayton has expressed that it would
• 1:28:28
  be a very fine line Given the definition
• 1:28:31
  of cabaret and that it is the Employees
• 1:28:34
  would need to be strictly limited in their
• 1:28:36
  duties as waitresses bartenders etc and not providing
• 1:28:40
  any kind of performance Defined as a play
• 1:28:44
  motion picture videotape dance or exhibition performed for
• 1:28:48
  an audience of one or more so they
• 1:28:52
  are Taking power that doesn't belong to them
• 1:28:55
  is the main Focus of this and the
• 1:29:00
  fight over sunshine law requests is really quite
• 1:29:06
  Entertaining and I didn't get to the letter
• 1:29:08
  today that we need to get to tomorrow
• 1:29:10
  Because I'm gonna share with you her responses
• 1:29:13
  to some of these sunshines some of which
• 1:29:15
  are just freaking ridiculous They're funny.
• 1:29:19
  I mean every time I read one.
• 1:29:21
  I just I just start laughing.
• 1:29:23
