Like a disease. Like a mole. Get out of my life. This magician must have a license for his rabbits . How is any normal human supposed to understand this and follow that. I dont have that answer. The constitution says i have a right to bear arms. But where i live, iant do this legally. Cant we get rid of some of this . The good news is that some entrepreneurs cut through the red tape. I chose to be a survivor, not a victim. So families have a better experience and i can drive a cab. Welcome. All these people are combatants in the war on the little guy. A certain amount of regulation is good. The problem is they dont stop. I would be out of business. With every phone call there came more bureaucratic red tape. Our government adds thousands of new pages of law every year. Thats on top of the 175,000 pages they passed in prior years. This is just what you see here, just the federal part. States, local governments add much more than this. If you wanted to get state, county, and city laws, you nee to rent a bigger building. This lawyer jeff rose hes little guys deal with the red tape. This is an agenda of control for its open se. Thats why regulators do what they do. Come on. Control for its open its own sake. Theyre not macveilan power frequents. I ess you havent dealt with very men bureaucrats. They like rules and live to enforce rules. Underpaid government function areas. I call them little emperors. They justify their existence by creating regulations. Even marty the mosquito is regular magician is regulated. I thought how could i be regulated. He cant get out anymore, too bad. Marty has entertained kids for 30 years, and then like many ma. S he uses a rabbit. Yes a birthday child will make the rabbit magic include ly appear. I was signing autographs and taking pictures. Suddenly a badge was thrown into a mix and the inspector saying, let me see your license, license for a rabbit and she said from now on you cannot use your rabbit until you fill out paperwork, fill out theline phoenix, inspect your home. Im subject to surprise inspectionsof momentum. Inot embarrassed. Very serious. Marty was in violation of the Animal Welfare act. Ten times regulateyears have shown up, unannounced at martys house. Cannoargue with them. You cant even talk logically with them. She would love it if everybody said, ah. I got a new inspector and i said, did my first one retire . She said, no, good news, we increased our budget and we have more inspectors now. We can visit you more often. You got this letter. Deere dear members of our regulation community. Sounds like a family. A community i dont want to be a part of. They actually wanted a comprehensive written disaster plan detailing every i would do with my rait in event of a fire, flood, temperatures, ice storm. 20 possible disasters they list. Intentional attack. Animals escape. Tornado, hurricane, blizzard. The government calls these common emergencies. The plan came in at 30 pages. You say to these people, come on, this is ridiculousnd they laugh and say, it is, but we have to do this . They dont laugh ever. Theres more. Youre not doing your job if youre a regulator unless you add more of this stuff. Thats why government grows new one direction and done shrink. America was cop received as a sea of lisch with an island of government power. Were now a sea of government por with ever shrinking islands of liberty. Lets go to the sea of government power. Ite like to show you around. You want a washington, dc tour . Just ten dollars. Thats the capitol behind me. This is the irs building. Oh, i cant tell you that. Thats illegal. Segs in the city, offers guided tours around washington on segway. Segs in the city in get it . One problem. This is illegal. It is illegal if you talk. Bill mane had an idea. Tours by segway. Business grows tremendously. Going to be up to our last year. But guys in d. C. Must take a test and get a government licee to give the you have been giving tours. Yes. You dont have a license . Are you a bad person . I am not. She tried to get a license but thats not easy. I had to get four personal rev reps, people i have nope over a year. A criminalbackground check, passport photos. Total cost, 200. Two or three weeks later they said i could signed up for a test date, and i took it a week and a half ago and i failed by five points. After the interview she tried again, jumped through more hoops, paid another 115. Retook the test, and finally did pass. I think trying to mak sure that people get a proper tour. We give them a proper tour. I mean, ive passed a bar exam. I know how to give a proper tour. Off to the right, washington, dc, and off to your left, virginia and the pentagon. The rules are not about safety on segways, its about what guides are allowed to say. Many new rules are limits on speech, john was told he had to get a license for his aice column. Ijohn rosen is a criminal for giving advice in his coelom then dear abbie was on a 50year crime spree. This year i received a letter from attorney for the kentucky psychology licensing board, telling me that i was practicing psychology without a license. Cease and desist. Youre engaged in unlawful practice of psychology people all over the country are getting in trouble for giving advice without a license. I represent a blogger from North Carolina who was giving out die tier advice over the internet. He got in trouble. I represent a vet who was helping people overseas who have no access to veterinarian. That guy got in trouble. It is often the little guy who is the biggest victim of abusive laws. Am i being arrested . You need to we need check you for weapons. These men had the nerve to offer home improvements. Are you kidding me . No, sir. This is not a sting operation. Because these job seekers did not put up thousands of dollars and take several tests, government cracked down. Bureaucracies at a state licensing board offered jobs to people on craigslist who said, i seek work. But wh the workers showed up, this happen. Californias proud of this. They posted this video online. At a time when unemployment is high. Our government attacks people who want to work. And stops people from starting businesses. Got started, some now here they come. She was told, you need a license to help people with taxes. Free enterprise is at stake. This man, after selling tshirts here for 30 years, was told, you must stop. This is just the rules from friday, december 16th. Its tiny fine print. Yep. Every day is a another book, and you have to know everything in here or you can go to jail . Thats right. And im a constitutional lawyer, and i have absolutely no idea what is in these books. Each and every one of this is incomprehendible to me. Andnd unnecessary. Im flipping open this book. This is the department of Energy Regulation on the formula for determining the Energy Efficiency of a commercial icemaker. Somebody who runs a bar or a restaurant can just good to the manufacturer and say, give me an itsmaker. If it works the market will figure out what is the best icemaker. Dont knee reviews dont need the federal Government Printing inincomprehends able formulas and require everybody to conform to this bizarre standard. I keep getting more of this stuff. And it doesnt go away. Its like a disease, like a mole. Just eat through. Slowly, and you dont exist anymore. The mexican gray wolf. The humpback whale. The sea lion. These are endangered species and need protection. So the endangered species act seems like a good idlism want those animals protected. But the bureaucrats always take a good idea and run too far with it. Its our job as ambassadors of the l to prote our nations speaks for future generations. And so the government wants to use land in louisiana to protect one typ of frog. Were haunted by kasper the frag. Actually the mississippi gopher frog. He calls him kaspar the ghost because none of these frogs live anywhere near eds property. I looked it up on their web site, and found out that by their own publications, the frog has not been seen the state of louisiana because r land is not suitable for it. This frog doesnt exist in this area. It doesnt right now. It has historically. Why ills it fair to impose this on this poor guy . Thats a good question. Right now there are less than 100 of these frogs in the wild. Previously thousands. They used to be in louisiana, and this land owner has ve great ponds in his property. The government went after the mans land after bill snakes group, the center for biological diveity, sued fish and wildlife for not doing enough to protect kasper here. The government can just say, oh, this is a good spot . Technically, yes, bu that isnt how i would put it. They think that wild america is cool america. People want to protect endangered. Absolutely. I didnt kn there were nine million species, and that some are going to do a 4 million species of beatles need to be preserved . Why do we need to preserve every one. Economic reasons, ecological reasons, spiritual rains and these are gods creatures. Theres a limit how far we go and i dont pretend to know where the line is. I sure as heck am going to try to save a specieses. But some roofs had an unintended constance fence. Land officers know itself government finds an endangered species on their land they will they can this lan out of commerce to stop it from being developed. This led to a new response, called, shoot, shovel, and shot up. In other words, land owners that see an endangered speaks their lan sometimes shoots the thing and then bury it, and then shut up about it. That way you can keep using your lan. Their job is to preserve endanger species shouldnt they preserve these thing . They should but the frog cant live on our land. It needs the elements. Says you. Says the fish and wildlife service. Its true. To make a new home for these frogs, the government says hell have t to change his land. Remove all the trees, replant new trees, dig ponds that have to be maintained and drained every six months, put the frogs back on, burn the fort every year. He wanted to build houses on the land. I got rezone for that. No problem sis fish and wildlife, we work with land owners. They wouldnt agree be interviewed about the complaint. Instead they posted this video. We are looking forward to working with willing lan owners in louisiana. They tell you how to cooperate. They havent this handbook. Its an enormously complex, tedious, bureaucratic road map. 300 in pages, unbelievably complex. Certainly couldnt have a life and deal with this. You couldnt. This is san antonio. Yes. This is san antonio. Yes this is reasonable . Yes, if i can understand it, they can understand it. Youre an environmental lawyer. What about normal people trying to live their lives. I see why you lawyers love this. I would probably write it defendant live but it does make sure the government commits itself to process that is transparent and fast. Ast . Er. Telling someone they cant do something with their own property to protect an animal that doesnt exist there . Everybodys definition of crazy. The environmental rules are supposed to preserve endangered species. Obody is going to disagree there isnt a core of legitimate government regulation out there. But on top of that core, which is small, there is a Giant Mountain of useless, lifecrushing, timewaste, paper generating regulation. How much money are you out. 34 million. They thats inconsequential can my land be taken for know reason at all, no animal at all, anybodys land anywhere can be ken. Dont build a garage or a swing set on it. Dont even cut your grass. So all around america land owners, shoot, shovel, and then shut up about it. Coming up, the Supreme Court says i have a right to carry one of these, but will my city let me . What if you want to carry one of these for selfprotection. The majority concluded the right to own a gun months to each lawabiding american. What does that mean to me in my town . In new york city politicians say the majority of the people want sensible gun row distributions. Sensible restrictions. What does that mean . Photocopies not accepted. I tried too get a gun license. They make it very hard. First, you must ll out this 17page form. The form says i must promise i know the definition of other weons like switchblade notify, gravity knife, metal knuckle knife, kung fu star. I just want a gun for safety. People times threaten me because they dont le what i say on tv. I think they have too much security now. After this appearance, some said i should be shot in the face. So when i travel around town, id like to have the option of protecting myself. Studies show americans use guns every day to stop crimes. Guns often stop crimes. Turns the tables on a knife wielding intruder. Today laws in every state allow adults to carry a concealed gun. Many feared this would lead to a siege in gun crime but the opposite happened. Violence appears to be dropping. Yet some towns like chicago, new york city, l. A. , make it nearly impossible for people to legally carry a gun. This is 50 pages. Who understands this . It took hours and hours to fill out the forms. We had to call the Police Department six times to clarify what questions meant. Finally, it was done. Get this notarized . Go ahead and sign here and i will fill in the rest. Then you have to good in person to Police Headquarters. Here they fingerprinted me, asked me to list reaso why i should be allowed to have a gun, and then they charge me a 430 application fee. They said theyd get back to me. At lea they were polite. Others tell a different story. Theyre rude fromhe getgo. Robert martinez served in iraq and afghanistan. I have ten years of military experience. I think a military vet could keep a handgun in his home for protection. But its not so easy. Why do you want a gun permit. To protect my family. Martinez lives in new york city housing project. A couple months ago a man was beaten to death in front of my building. Hear shots go off and its boom, boom, boom. The howth the would get a gun license. That turned out to be an ordeal. Have you there at 9 00 when they open up at 10 00 and have you sitting there until almost 3 00 in the afternoon. They serviced me within 90 minutes. Its john stossel coming here to get a license for you it was 9 00n me morning until 2 00. Yes. Tide you get at the permit . No. Their attitude is people dont need guns. Were the police. The police cant get there you have a better shot at hitting the lottery than getting a cop on your street exactly the same time you get in a problem. The process itself was set up to be an ordeal. Glen runs this web site which advises people on navigating the regulation. If youre this expert, i would think it would be easy for you to get people guns. Its still an ordeal. Its being used as a weapon. To deter people from following through the process, which can take as long as a year. For me it took eight and a half months. First they told me i had to return to Police Headquarters for another inperson interview. This time they demanded i prove an accusation against me had been trop. They said this headline was not enough. I was suppose to produce the original court document. They also told me i had the documents threats against me. Fortunately could show them things like this. 52 days later they sent me a letter rejecting my application for a carry permit. They said i could get a license to keep a gun in my apartment but i feel safe any apartment. I want a permit to carry where i might feel threatened. But i was told, you failed to demonstrate a special need. The license adviser told me i had applied for the permit the wrong way. Fends of the ruling class, thats who get it. Everyone else youre outut of luck. Donald trump got a per notice carry a gun. So did howard stern and robert way. R roy. Many you have done work for someone who knows a senator. Thats the approach. Theyll get you in front of a jump and within two or throw da youll have a permit. These individuals can afford to pay for security. My family cant. Theres no way in hell im going to let this lie. When we return, the red tape ] this is the story of the little room over the pizza place on Chestnut Street the modest first floor bedroom in tallinn, estonia and the southbound bus bareli down i95. This magic moment it is the story of where every great idea begins. And of those who believed they had thpower to do more. Dell is honored to be part of some of the worlds great stories. That began much the same way ours did in a little dorm room 2713. This magic moment people expect the city to be regulated so lets leave here and move 600 miles away. He lives off the lan in north calina. People call him mountain man. With my own hands, built everything. When i moved here there wasnt a clearing, wasnt a building. Over 20 years, his Turtle IslandEducation Center became popular. He taught a thousand people how to live like pioneers. But last year, the county told him to shut down. He hadnt gotten permits. Nathan miller heads the county boards thatoversees the building departmen people said his camp was unsafe. We dont necessarily know whether its unsafe or not. The mountain man told the county inspectors, good away, so they came back with lots of people. The brought all these different departments from the Health Department, tax people, the fire marshal, this whole team, like cars trucks as far as you could see showed up, blocked our driveway, came in with armed guards and took over our home. Doesnt it seem like overkill. Not really. They merely had their pistols on the side. He had the opportunity, mr. Conway did, to cooperate. That raid led to this 78 page report on what the mountain man must change. Just more government overkill. We created this report in anticipation of litigation. A lot of it just crazy. They got a picre of our doghouse in there for a german shepherd, its four feet long. Ey said this is intern housing. I dont know if they thought we had midgets. Problems with his property. Unsafe buildings resting on a piece of rock. Like a Rock Solid Foundation . We have been working with the Health Department every year for over 20 years. Theyre telling me i cant live this way . This is the way ily. I cant eat the way i want, drink water, cant poop the way i want, cant sleepin the building the way i want. A new bureaucrat came in every year, they permitted every year, and all of a sudden its like completely unacceptable. Every think there are too many rules. Oh, yeah, i think that all the time. But we dont invent the building codes, were merely the enforcer. How is any human supposed to understand that or follow that . I dont have the answer. They i dont have that answer. If you look behind me, we have 24 statute backs. Im a lawyer. Im supposed to know l the statutes. Builders obviously cant possibly know all this, but they are taught how to look this stuff up. Why dont you just do what they ask . If we do w
