Jeff Davis On River City Talk 1995 [J3Qcjtbs KI] cover

About this episode

Producer Greg Erickson faces suspension from Austin Community Television after airing a segment on naturalism, sparking a fierce debate over the use of community standards to censor political speech. Host Mike Hanson and guest Jeff Davis argue that the removal of Erickson’s show, Teledemocracy, sets a dangerous precedent for the future of information freedom on ACTV. They contend that the same mechanisms used to ban nudity could eventually be deployed to suppress controversial footage of the Waco siege and the Ruby Ridge standoff.

The broadcast features a dense analysis of federal government overreach, specifically the $3.1 million settlement paid to the Randy Weaver family following the events at Ruby Ridge. Davis criticizes mainstream outlets like ABC and 20/20 for delaying coverage of the incident for three years while public access producers reported the facts in real-time. Callers weigh in on local Austin issues including AISD school jogging track curfews, the high cost of corporate-owned real estate, and the legal hurdles of at-will employment at the Austin State School. The dialogue connects these local grievances to a broader critique of a burgeoning police state and the implementation of a New World Order.

Between heavy political segments, Mike Hanson maintains a high-energy interactive format with a monthly trivia contest covering everything from the Indianapolis 500 to the Texas State Cemetery. Guest Ken Ayala joins the panel to discuss the cultural hypocrisy of televised violence versus naturalism. The program concludes with a patriotic call to vigilance and a rendition of The Andy Griffith Show theme song, The Fishing Hole.

The Fishing Hole, Musical Introduction

The program opens with a rendition of "The Fishing Hole," the classic theme song from The Andy Griffith Show. The lyrics describe a relaxing day of fishing and skipping stones. This musical segment serves as the lead-in to the live broadcast of River City Talk.

01:57 Well now take down your fish pole and meet me at the fishing hole. We may not get a bite all day, but don't you rush away! What a great place to rest your bones and might it fine for skipping stones You'll feel fresh as lemonade setting in the shade Whether it's hot Whether it's cool or what a spot for whistling like a fool. What a fine day to take a stroll and wander by the fishing hole, I can't think of a better way to pass the time of day.

03:10 We'll have no need to call the roll When we get to the vision hole There'll be you, me and old knob tray To doodle time away If we don't hook a perch or bass We'll cool our toes in dewy grass Or else pull up a weed to char And maybe set and jar Hangin' around, takin' our eave Watchin' that hound a-scratchin at his flee Come on take down your fishing pole And meet me at the fishing hole I can't think of a better way to pass the time of day

04:49 I don't know if Greg Erickson, he has a show on from 6 to 7.30 on Tuesdays called Teledemocracy and he was suspended today it's been all over the news. It's been all over the talk shows today and also on Channel 24 News. He was suspended for showing, I would say naturalism is what it's called. Would you call it nudism? But we want to get your thoughts on that and also I want to thank my sponsors which are KCR Cabinets

CHAPTER 04 / 30 Discussion

Greg Erickson, ACTV Suspension and Community Standards

Producer Greg Erickson has been suspended from his ACTV show, Teledemocracy, following complaints regarding a segment featuring naturalism or nudism. Jeff Davis reports that ACTV director Pat Garnhouse cited community standards as the basis for the suspension. The discussion highlights concerns that these standards could eventually be used to censor political content, such as videos of the Waco siege or Randy Weaver.

06:28 Maybe he is in the studio tonight. So maybe if we get enough calls, we'll ask him to come on and explain his side of the story later on. Jeff can you say a few words? I had talked with the ACTV director at Garland House and basically Mike she said that they had 15 complaints from this show that aired Tuesday. I heard 17. I believe, Mike that we are...I hate to say the same thing that we would come to this but I honestly believe Mike that we are at a point now where we're really going to have to stand up for public access television because it seems to me they've got the block programming coming out. We've got the franchise agreement coming out in September of next year

07:23 And she told me that she already thinks we might lose one channel. That's a possibility. Which channel would that be? Just 10, 11 or 16. That would be a lot of programming if that would happen. I'm on 16, you're on 16... I'll tell ya Mike the danger of what happened to Greg today and that is the same thing ties in with the Ray Blanchett thing I believe About when they bulldozed his house? Right You have this community standards thing operating Now whatever the community standards are

08:00 is what's setting the policy. Let's say six months down, I asked Pat Garnhouse this myself, let's say six months from now the community standard says that they don't like anything that questions what our government is doing would that mean someone like me is yanked off the air. She told me that's exactly what it would mean if they didn't like me playing Waco videos showing the BATF ramming tanks through structures, if they didn't like me playing Randy Weaver videos that by community standards, I could be taken off the air. Jeff, for the first time two or three days ago you've been playing this stuff for like 2 years on this Randy Weaver and they just now come out with it on the national news about two to three days ago do you agree with that? Yes sir and this shows Mike the absolute

CHAPTER 05 / 30 Discussion

Public Policy, Social Behavior and Information Freedom

Ken Ayala and Jeff Davis discuss the increasing regulation of public behavior, citing examples like penalties for 10-year-olds celebrating in sports. They argue that society is entering an era of excessive correction and censorship. The conversation emphasizes the need to protect public access television and the internet as vital avenues for information outside of mainstream network news.

public policy· social behavior· internet· information freedom· new world order

08:56 the unquestionable value to public access television. Okay, let me get a comment from Ken. How are you doing tonight Ken? Good. What do you think about what's going on that... Well I believe we're moving into an era because The error is that we're trying to make corrections of the public policy all the way down to children. I heard today they are trying to get children playing sports like if they score a touchdown, 10 year olds, were talking ten year olds, they can't go after they cross the goal line and jump up and down screaming holler Or they get 15 yard penalty. Yeah, so there's a lot of BS going on out there We're trying to correct the public's woes Through telling people that we can no longer say or speak about how we feel or what we view during certain times

09:46 each decade, you know. As we go through time we're moving through different intervals of time You know where we're going to different periods different dress Bell-bottoms have been out for a long time They've come back to some degree so we can come back to certain things but it's just like it says in people have said in the past if we don't How does that go? If we don't... Reap the benefits? No Learn from the past we're doomed to repeat it that that is the comment line up there if anybody can't get through on the phones or fix and start taking As many calls as we can. That's a common line I'd like to know what y'all think out there You know, I mean we're talking about going back prohibition you know A lot of things all right. That's something briefly my Greg's situation today and this has happened before first off

10:38 Now, the media and fairness has picked up on some of the things that I have done in the past. The local media but largely the only time this public access gets any media coverage is when there's something that supposedly in the image of the public it is negative but what I wanted to really say was its not only public access Mike we have to protect. We have to protect the internet we have to protect various types of communications that are out there on a national or even international scale because I can tell you, we have a new world order that's pounding down our tails and we're not getting any real information from the network news stations. This is the time, I believe most critical where we need to protect every avenue

CHAPTER 06 / 30 Discussion

Texas Employment Law, Austin State School Grievances

A caller named Mark discusses the difficulties of challenging employee termination in Texas, specifically criticizing the Austin State School. He describes the state's "at-will" employment status as a significant hurdle for workers without extensive legal funds. The conversation covers the limitations of workplace unions and the high cost of private attorneys in employment disputes.

11:28 of information that we have available to us. Let me start taking the calls, I want to get as many calls in today. You're on the air. Hey yeah you doing alright sir Mike? Yeah I'm doing fine. Hey yes good just wanted let you know got your wife in the trunk of my car Go right ahead. Welcome to River City Talk. Jeff? Yes sir! Are you running for something or have you recently run for office, or... I ran for U.S Congress in November and lost. Well actually I thought you were running for something on the state level but I was just wanting to say that we need to change employee rights laws in Texas because I learned the hard way recently

12:10 That unless you've got the money for a good lawyer, if you are terminated for some bogus reason You don't have an ice cream chance in hell against the system here in Texas. Do you have a union? Well I worked...I won't mention my name so I wont come and give me any liability or anything but I worked for the Austin State School It is a horrible Horrible place to work for it is the most anti-employee employer I've ever worked for. They have a wonderful little time-proven system out there, basically they don't like you and accuse you of client abuse and your outta there

12:54 And I went through the entire system inside the agency, outside the agency. Called my representatives everything. Did they have a union out there at Austin State School? They do have a union but it's a joke. Okay so they don't pay for your If you have to go to court to try and get your job back, they don't pay for that? No. Absolutely not. All they do is they have a co-worker that is designated by the union to sit in with you on any type of management employee meetings and those are absolute jokes I was fortunate enough initially to be on a legal plan That of course I had to pay premium for

13:37 and that did provide me with a lawyer through the grievance process, but beyond that forget about it. And everyone I called—everyone from the ACLU to everyone said well you know the only thing you can do is get a private attorney Because this state is right-to-work state? That's probably what they're going to tell you Well no Texas isn't at will state At will Which is just the opposite from what I understand basically the employer has the upper hand. Well, I knew they had the upper hand but I forgot what the saying was on it. Right and you know when you call the attorneys they tell ya well these types of matters 9 times out 10 are found against you so we will not take your case unless you put 5

Austin AISD Schools, Jogging Track Curfews

A caller inquires about potential curfews for jogging tracks at Austin AISD schools after being asked to leave a facility by police at midnight. The hosts are uncertain of the specific law but suggest it may relate to general park curfews. The segment concludes with the caller participating in a trivia question about Gonzales, Texas, known as the "Lexington of Texas."

austin· aisd· jogging· curfew· gonzales· texas revolution

I don't know for sure. Because about a year ago, I tried to jog on the tracks at one of the high schools out here and twice in one week the cops made me leave it was after midnight

15:12 So I don't know if they still do that or not. I haven't tried it lately and I want to try again. Well maybe somebody call in, I'm not sure...I know the students have a curfew but uh... Yeah somebody call in and tell me! Alrighty. Did you wanna play the game tonight? Sure! Okay number between 1-200 Just pick any number? Yes sir. 53.

CHAPTER 08 / 30 Discussion

Randy Weaver Case, Federal Government Settlements

The discussion shifts to the Randy Weaver case and the federal government's $3.1 million settlement paid to the Weaver family. Jeff Davis criticizes the national media for taking three years to cover the story, which he has been reporting on public access. The hosts characterize the payment as "blood money" used to compensate for the deaths of Weaver's wife and son during the Ruby Ridge standoff.

16:54 What's the topic tonight? Anything you want to talk about, but what we're talking about tonight We had a deal come up here at ACTV The studio here. The company that we work for over here One of the producers got suspended It has been all over the talk shows today I don't know if you heard it I've heard on the news this morning And its been on the news about one of the producers down here has got suspended He wanted me to make the announcement. We were talking about that earlier, about you know me and don't mention my name please. Oh okay

17:31 We were talking about that. If you don't want to watch it, just turn the channel. I agree. Let's let Jeff and Ken... They're the guests tonight? I didn't really want to talk about that. We talked about the FBI thing earlier. There was a special on TV earlier in the night about the FBI and me and my cousin here, it was totally screwed up on the FBI's part. Are we talking about Randy Weaver case? Yes, he has been doing stories on this for two years

18:11 and the national media has not picked up on it. I got to commend Jeff, I don't know if if I pick this up until I saw it on the national news but Jeff's been doing this for a long time and now they're just now starting to pick up on it on the national news can you give us a little bit of uh...a little bit on that real quick? Well I just want to mention quickly that like I mentioned to you privately before the show started The first thing-if murder happens here in Austin what is the first thing they do they go to an investigation. Why is this over three years now, a 14 year old boy was shot in the back, a mother was shot in the head on her porch holding her baby? Three year later they're just getting around to getting some type of public information out

18:54 I think that in itself tells you how the… It's kind of a cover up. Right, it tells you right there. Let me get Ken's comment on that. Do you know anything about this? I hadn't heard about it until I was listening to Jeff over the last month or so but evidently He was talking about blood money and evidently that meant to me that the government had paid the family to try to hide what they had done. How much, Jeff? 3 point 1 million dollars worth of blood money were paid. That's not worth your son... And that is coming from us because the government is a non-revenue generator so they are taking our tax money for their mistake which never should have happened

CHAPTER 09 / 30 Discussion

Austin Park Curfews, Law Enforcement Discretion

An anonymous law enforcement officer calls in to clarify that Austin park curfews typically run from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., though he notes that officers should use discretion when encountering joggers. The caller also correctly answers a trivia question regarding George Burns. Mike Hanson uses the break to appeal for more local sponsors like McDonald's or Target to support the program's prize packages.

austin· law enforcement· park curfew· george burns· trivia· sponsors

19:35 Okay, sir. I just want to answer that question about the curfew uh-huh yeah as you know i'm a law enforcement officer here in Austin I don't know if you know who I am but don't say my name no You called me to come down earlier in the morning, but uh The park curfews are I think ten to six? But if your jogging I don't think any police officer and often is going to mess with you because your joggin He was jogging out of school though Well, I mean who's going to give you a ticket for violating the park curfew if you're just jogging? That's following the letter of law. It's not using proper discretion as police officer but... And also knew that question about Gonzalez so I should get this.

20:21 You gotta pick your own question. Give me a number between 1 and 200, and let's see if you can... Because I told Paul before you even gave the answers that it was Gonzalez. Okay well, you gotta pick your own question between one and two hundred we gotta move on because we have a lot of calls back. How about 75? 75 okay A B or C? Uh how about B for Bill Okay. What funny guy said, I smoke cigarettes because at my age if i don't have something to hang on to I might fall down?

21:01 One funny guy said I smoke cigars because... Oh, George Byrne. Yes sir you are right and I do know who you are so I will write your name down can you call that number right there? 3709548 You're contestant number two for this month okay? Paul remember that Contestant number two Number 2 Okay thank you sir Do y'all win anything right now or No If I had enough sponsors out there, if I had enough sponsors out there, I could give something away every time somebody called in but I don't. We have three sponsors and we give a big prize package away every month until I get some more sponsors out there like Wal-Mart and Taco Bell and McDonald's. Who else is out there? Target

21:46 I need y'all's help. So give us a call there at 370-9558, 711, there are plenty of people out there. We love your show! Keep it up! Thank you sir. You're on the air. Yeah, this is for Mike? Yes! This is Kareem. Kareem on your wife's back... And I also got Jeff Davis and Ken Ayala on too. Hey you guys that don't have anything better to do change channel. Okay we just don't even pay attention to that kind of people Go right ahead. Yeah, what I was wanting to say is that it shows you how sad the city of Austin is sometimes. You could show somebody being gutted on the air and that's perfectly fine but if you see a naked body like all these people are doing with walking around then that's obscene.

CHAPTER 10 / 30 Discussion

Nudity vs. Violence, Media Double Standards

A caller named Kareem argues that society has a hypocritical stance on nudity compared to televised violence. The hosts discuss how educational programs showing nudity in other cultures are accepted, while a local segment on a nudist colony resulted in a suspension. They express concern that if one show is censored based on complaints, other programs on ACTV could be targeted next.

nudity· violence· actv· teledemocracy· censorship· media standards

22:45 Let me get a can and then I'll go back in. And what's so weird about it is that we're born naked, when we die they... They unclothe you, they put you in a set of clothes and they bury you that way. Not me! I'm going to have my pants on when i die. But...I'll make sure of that. You go into surgery- I am medical transcriber so when you go into surgery they unclothe you take all your clothes off because it's a contamination factor and uh... It is weird that they can say this is immoral and try teach young people that its bad but when your seeing people shot everything else on TV That's broadcasting, and that's perfectly fine. That to me is ludicrous. But that's not so!

23:28 Right, it teaches more immorality than nudity does. Yeah and they wonder why the kids and people are killing each other I mean... Right can run around and shoot one another point-blank and likewise you know it's pretty weird but uh.. You're right, you're exactly right. Okay ma'am? Ma'am yeah right now there They're very much considering on cutting all seven channels, Jeff? Are they considering cutting the whole deal off? We need to call city council and make sure that there are good shows. Well it's going to be coming up on an agreement now from according to information I've got one ACTV channel could go okay but then again if for some reason

24:16 I was told today that all of it could go the way it's going now. Well, there are some other government channels too. We've got the Bridget Shea channel and... That was a joke! Why are they gonna cut it? Let me make this perfect clear River City Talk is separate entity from the show that was reported. Okay, you know that? Another show on ACTV called Teledemocracy was 17 people I was told that called in to the manager and complained about it so he was suspended off of off of the television for two or three weeks He's going to be made to sign an agreement saying that uh... he's not gonna show this again That's essentially it.

25:12 the producer to come on the show after a while to explain his side of the story if we can get him to do that later. What about things they show on TV? from Africa and Asia, these and that are naked bodies. Oh but that's educational! Well this was a nudist camp so... Basically what it boils down to is they would cut the shows that get the most complaints if it starts with this it'll go to the next show, it'll go to Jeff's, it will go to River City Talk because we

CHAPTER 11 / 30 Discussion

Freedom of Speech, Public Access Television Value

Jeff Davis and Mike Hanson defend the right to freedom of speech on public access television, regardless of political leanings. They address a viewer's comparison of ACTV content to HBO and Cinemax, noting that those networks are funded by private subscriptions and sponsors. The hosts argue that public access is essential because mainstream media is often constrained by corporate interests and short time slots.

freedom of speech· public access· actv· censorship· hbo· media sponsors

25:53 Mike may have discussed that program and people are calling saying we don't like that. We don't want to hear about it, we don't want to hear complaints about the city government. We don't wanna hear complaints about pollution you know? It can go either way. We discussed everything on this program, they're just starting with that one program. That's just the problem is first off I have had quite a bit more than 17 complaints. 53! With some of the stuff i've been doing but to me it's just absolutely ridiculous. It's almost laughable Mike that the evil that's in this world there are people out there that literally create and finance wars

26:31 And this is the mentality of the American people now, that this type of childish program... It's really what it was. Innocent programming is what's being used to take away power. You'll be next to go Jeff! But I did get a... Let me just say this A couple weeks ago when Jeff was on the program show ran after my show and for some reason people got it mixed up with mine and left a bunch of comments on my recorder or my office number that I put up there. And one of the people said that they don't show this... How do you answer this question? They don't show this kind of nudity on HBO, Cinemaxx, or Playboy Channel That's one of the comments I got how would you answer that question? Oh! That is because nobody was having sex On HBO and Cinemaxx they showed people having sex

27:25 Okay, maybe that was the problem there wasn't any said Maybe that's why people were offended. I'm just I'm just telling it was a lady that left this comment on my on my recorder but Greg Erickson did host my show last week because I couldn't do it and You know we are for professionals up here And what I'm trying to say is That me and Greg might not agree with everything that we do on either of our shows but you know what can I say? We agree that we all have the right to freedom of speech. Freedom of speech! That's right it doesn't matter what side of the issue left, right, liberal conservative... The fact is we have to maintain because like i said Mike

28:16 Even if the media was trustworthy, they don't even have the time to get out lots of information that we need. I mean they're down to like 20 and 30 seconds. That's not what it is, it's just that they can't because if they do their sponsors will pull them out. And they are also licensed by the... Yeah, I know what you're talking about! There are a lot of different reasons why we need to keep public access I have a question for Jeff. I like to watch your shows that you have on, but it's hard to find when your shows are on because the show world

CHAPTER 14 / 30 Discussion

Parental Responsibility, Children and Television Content

A female caller criticizes Greg Erickson's attitude and his decision to air nudity during hours when children might be watching. The hosts debate whether the responsibility lies with the producer or the parents to monitor what children view, especially given the availability of remote controls. Jeff Davis argues that shielding children from naturalism is less important than protecting them from genuine "evil" in the world.

parental responsibility· television· actv· greg erickson· nudity· remote controls

32:08 Can you hear me? Yes, loud and clear. Okay last week I watched the show and I think a lot of the problem was Greg's attitude he was so persistent on... He didn't care what anybody else thought And that was probably the problem because at the time he only had three complaints that he was showing that he was airing okay I called in myself up but it is rather rude So he kind of messed it up for everybody and I don't think that's very fair because I love your show Okay whose show did you watch last week his or mine? He was okay. He was he was guest hosting that week Okay, really upset by the way, you can bet it himself as well on your show and he kept saying this is River City Talk River City talk but anyway I think his attitude had a lot to do with more than complaint. He was like he was just insisting You would go show the show he didn't care. He's gonna show him his prime time show and so now everybody else will man

33:02 Well, so he did show it on his primetime show. That's why he suspended what was your complaint? I have a daughter and i didn't like the fact of the way it was but i changed the channel that's true enough But there may be kids that are up at this time of the hour this time of the day During the time that he aired this six to seven thirty remote controls You know kids look for cartoons they see that stuff and they just automatically stop. I don't think it's bad I don't think that the show's bad for adults. It should be aired at a later time of the day or something, but it is good to her.

33:44 But I wouldn't sit and watch it with my child. And I heard you say, I sat and watched that with my child! You know nowadays they call that sexual abuse... No the other guy Jeff Davis he said he called in he said well i sat and watched that yeah well let me tell you something if that is If with all the evil that's in this world, you protect your kids from it. You don't show it to them. There was nothing to it! After 15 minutes of it there was nothing to it. Okay so what is his big thrill about showing it then? I think he just making a statement that hey there's nothing to this

34:20 i'd like to get my i'd like to get inside the story for you convincing later tomorrow at what point and i think it's quite a bit of talking don't people walk around naked and planning together and all that stuff but no point in the appointment there's a little better than his point is that it was also works also it's also interaction was interruption interaction volatile or was it discriminatory in any way or anything? No, it really wasn't. Exactly! There was no violence there was nothing to it it was just nudity but the fact that it was nudity Some people find that disgusting. Well, I don't find it disgusting but... Right! But look at the self-image it's going to create in youngsters if you start pulling them and grabbing them saying hey don't watch that, that's bad Yeah but see that something private You teach your children that in a private atmosphere You don't teach them that its okay for him to walk around outside naked Okay right okay That what you decide to do If they're doing within

CHAPTER 15 / 30 Discussion

Community Standards, Authoritarianism in Media

The debate continues regarding "community standards" and whether they empower authoritarians to restrict free speech. Jeff Davis expresses concern that if standards are used to ban nudity today, they could be used to ban anti-government sentiment tomorrow. The segment ends with a trivia question regarding the average time served for rape in the United States, which is identified as five years.

community standards· authoritarianism· free speech· actv· rape statistics· trivia

35:18 Limits where it's limited to the area. Where would it be limited to? To the nudist calling. But see, It was more than one family. This was aired all over town. That's what she said. Right I mean you know... You mean on TV it was shown all over town. Let me ask a question What about the responsibility of the parents? i agree with that but there are children who have tv's in their rooms. most children have tvs in their rooms, it is a privilege they own you don't turn over a mechanism of free speech to authoritarians just because of irresponsible parents well no...thats what your saying! no im not saying that does your child have a tv in his room? it watches what it wants too

36:07 Is that right? That's right. But I... What do you want me to do with that? Well, it's true. But you know like I still stand as good... sexual conduct, deviance on the controlled major networks than anything down here at ACTV. They are the masters of propaganda and deception! And if you ever watch those talk shows... Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

37:08 I agree, ACTV is great. I'm not complaining about that but i'm just saying That that was, the whole show was so far-fetched. Why can't he show that at a later time when there are no children left? And I think a lot of the problem with his attitude that night... Let me just tell you, let me just reiterate this again what's dangerous about this trend is and then we're going to move on okay The ACTV director told me today that this is set up by community standards Okay, let's say six months from now

37:54 community standards. Now keep in mind that throughout the history of the world, the majority of people have not...have usually been wronged so let's say six months from now the community standards state that there is not going to be any more anti-federal government or any type of thing other than what you're told in regular news media concerning Weaver, concerning Waco, wars coming out of nowhere. Let's say that by community standards policies, could someone like me be yanked off the air? And she sat there and told me over the phone that yes. So, that's... so the dangerous trend is here is if we allow community standards and policies like this, like the Blanchette thing who might not have agreed to those community standards then we are opening ourselves up We're giving more authority to the authoritarians That's the issue Ma'am did you want to play a game? Yeah! Okay give me numbers between 1-200

38:55 12. That's a good number. Okay, God everything is about sex tonight! According to the National Corrections Reporting Program what is the average time served for the violent crime of rape? What's average time served one year three years five years or ten years 1 3 5 or 10? Three It's five. Okay, well have a good day! It's still not enough I don't think for somebody raping somebody. I don't either. Have a good day! Thank you and call back. Welcome to River City Talks. Yeah what was the point of them really showing the nudist colony in the first place? Just to see what they could get away with or... Well i wish i could get uh we're gonna try to

Greg Erickson Interview, Hippie Hollow Law

Producer Greg Erickson joins the set for an exclusive interview following his suspension from ACTV. He explains that his decision to show a nudist colony was a protest against a Travis County law banning children from Hippie Hollow. Erickson argues that suppressing naturalism creates a shameful view of the human body and that American society has an unhealthy "hang-up" regarding nudity compared to Europe.

39:47 The person that ran this video on the set here, anytime now. He's told me he didn't want to come on so... He is coming on! Do you want to take my slug? Did you want to come on? Alright I'll get up for him or do you wanna pull off a chair? Here we go. Okay were gonna get your question answered very goodly. Alright okay this is Greg Erickson Hi everybody. What was your question? What was the point of you showing the nudist colony anyway, did you see how far he could get away with or what? No uh... The reason I did it was because it all started with the hippie hollow deal are you familiar with that? no Well the Travis County leaders passed a law saying that kids could no longer be come to hippie hollow and that really angered me and It really angers me

40:40 that I charge to these people who say that this is bad. I charge to these people that they are teaching their children, that naturalism is wrong and the human form is shameful and I'm just tired of everybody especially America. America has a real big hang up with naturalism you know if you go to other countries like Europe People freely express that Now that Hippie Hollow has made it against the law for children to be there, now Hippie Hollow is going to continue to be a sleazy place. When if they would have let children come into Hippie Hollow and have a nice family atmosphere where kids could come with their families it woulda turned the whole park into a very good family atmosphere wholesome atmosphere but now because of our Travis County leaders its gonna stay sleazy so thats basically why I did it

41:38 Do you agree with that, sir? No. Not to necessarily make them mad I'm just... Yeah. Yes! I think the more you suppress things, the worse it makes it. I think that's why we have child molesters out there right now is because we're being taught that sex is shameful and then it's bad for units,

42:19 And the suppression is what causes molesters and people like that. Can I say this is, Greg correct me if I'm wrong? This is the first interview you've done since this happened since you've been suspended? Yeah I was... Alright River City Talk is the first on scene right here! In fact I was called about five minutes before Channel 24 News came on and informed that I was suspended and then I saw it on the news. It's been all over the radio talk shows all day long Paul Pryor had a good time on that today. That's what I've heard Sammy and Bob, you too. We'll talk about it tomorrow Yeah, I did that on purpose too. That was done on purpose

43:02 I mean, because there would be a lot of children watching TV flipping through and seeing... So what? Are they going to go blind because they see a naked body? A child can handle...I have every belief that a child can handle naturalism better than adults. Adults just go ape shit if you show a naked body! What's the matter with the naked body?! There is nothing the matter with it! And your teaching your kids that its wrong! In fact thats how I was brought up too Do you agree with that sir? Yeah, I gotcha on that. Just gonna play the game and all this and when I'll see ya. Okay yeah we want to get comments. Good job Greg. Between 1 and 200 thank you Greg. That's exclusive interview here at River City Talks Exclusive! 2020 be calling me any day now okay what now? Yeah I'll take number 69. 69 everybody's thinking about sex tonight. I'd be free to add that one in too.

Public Reaction, Support for Greg Erickson

Callers express support for Greg Erickson, describing the controversial video as innocuous and harmless. One caller encourages viewers to contact the Austin City Council to protest the suspension of the producer. The segment includes a trivia question about mountain climbing and a discussion on whether the "average Joe" or the cable company is responsible for the push for censorship.

To me it proves that the American people are completely doomed if their focus of right and wrong is based upon some little stupid little thing like that with all the evil...I've said this three times now but its a truth

46:38 All the evil that's in this world today and the mentality of the American people is focused on something as senseless as that. Well I can see somebody complaining, some of those old people were kind of badgy and everything. Yeah...I could complain about that! You might say thats disgusting but i mean the point it just human form for crying out loud You know, and if it's an oil paint it's art or something. I don't know...

New World Order, Parental Control vs. Government Rules

A caller expresses support for the city's decision to ban children from Hippie Hollow, leading to a debate with Jeff Davis about government overreach. Davis argues that "little bitty rules" eventually lead to a "New World Order" and that individuals must take control of their own lives. The caller maintains that parents should stand up for their children but doesn't see small city rules as a major threat.

new world order· free speech· parental control· actv· government regulation

51:49 Welcome to River City Talk. Hello? Yes! Uh, yes I'd like to play some trivia. Okay well kind of a requirement... What's your topic oh yeah what y'all been talking about the hippie hollow thing there Well it's not really hippie hollow thing it's uh I hate to go through it again, a producer down here has been suspended for showing... Yeah. I've heard y'all talk about that. Did you have a comment on that? Or did you have a comment on anything Jeff Davis does or...? Yeah we like what Jeff does. Well Ken... Thanks. Appreciate it. I don't know who's the other guy... Ken is uh he ran for.. I'm just a supporter of drivers for Metro. Well wait a minute you also ran for

52:32 He ran for a position on the board of Metro. I'm pro driver, whereas the board is not. But if you want to play trivia, go right ahead. We try to get your comment on something kind of trivia-y to the program a little bit. Okay well I wouldn't want my kids going out to Hippie Hollow would y'all? No That's kinda good decision that they've made on that. I'm usually not for with the city some of their stupid decisions but that one seems to be okay. I wouldn't want my kids going out there and as far as them...my children if I had any viewing television programs

53:08 No, I wouldn't want them to watch nudity unless they were 18 or older. When they're 18 hopefully I could raise them with godly standards that they can do what they want to do." Well let me just comment on that. To me what each individual parent would like to do is the point. The point is who's going to be responsible? Are we going to be responsible as parents or are we going to allow the authoritarians to take responsibility? They have to make up rules. They have to feel some kind of power, just let them make up their rules but if it's some huge rule like Proposition 22 was and we came in and stamped that out

53:49 I praise God, you know that was something worthwhile. But these little piddly things just let them do their little rules but yeah we as parents need to stand up for our children and take charge but when the city wants to step in and make these little bitty rules i don't think we need to get all hot and bothered about it. Oh I disagree because the little bitty rules enough of them wind up into a New World Order, my friend. And that's the problem. We either take care or we either take control of our own lives or somebody else is going to do it for us. It's as simple as that! I know Jeff... That New World Order is gonna come in sooner or later and I welcome it because

Biblical Prophecy, One World Government Debate

A caller discusses the biblical prophecy of a one-world government, stating he welcomes it as a sign of the end times. Jeff Davis counters this "defeatist mentality," arguing that believers should challenge evil and avoid enslavement rather than waiting for the rapture. The segment concludes with a trivia question about the number of radio and television stations in Austin in 1945.

bible· prophecy· rapture· one world government· actv· radio stations

54:34 Jesus said we were going to have a one world government, just like you're telling everyone. So I welcome that! The sooner the better! I'm ready to be raptured out of here! Okay, but sir? We're gonna have Jeff Davis back on the 20th of September and we are going to talk extensively about this new world order and if they're putting strips are they put in strips in my twenty dollar bills to see how much money I got? Oh sure they are. We've got a lot to talk about on that deal seatbelts he don't believe the government should be telling us to... It's no big deal it gonna happen well let me just mention, let me just mention this briefly I know Mike wants to press on here I believe that my friend that is

55:12 That is a defeatist mentality because, yes sir if we just sit back. You know how many times in the Bible that people thought it was the end of the world and Paul thought it all these different periods throughout the Bible people were predicting the last days end of the world same thing now so since its the end of the world and since were going to be raptured away who cares about a new world order to enslave all of us. By golly, I don't think our God wants us to sit around here and be slaves on this planet! No, our God wants us to serve Him and not worry about the New World Order but it's going to come in... But the Bible says that you challenge these things. You challenge evil. That what it says. It says we serve the Lord Jeff, you know that. Actually what is said is happy are those who help themselves

55:59 I do not believe that our God wants us to sit around here as slaves on this planet and wait for some pie in the sky thing after we die. I don't believe that. I think he'd be a good guest to come opposite you next, the 20th. Let's play trivia Mike! Give me a number between 1 and 20. Number one Okay, in Austin we have 28 local radio stations. But in 1945 we had only two. We also now have seven local television stations in Austin How many did Austin have in 1945? Three

56:45 Zero. Alright now, okay give us a call on that viewers line maybe we can talk him to coming along with you Jeff I think y'all two get along just fine Okay welcome Welcome to River City Talk Hello Yes? I heard only three complaint letters could shut down ATTV because of the Yuppie Holidays Why does everybody call it Hippie Hollow thing? I don't know. That's what they recognize because everybody knows what hippie hollow is. Well if three complaints come in...

Independent Political Campaigns, Richard Nixon Trivia

Jeff Davis discusses his past run for U.S. Congress as an independent in District 10 against Lloyd Doggett. He reflects on receiving 3,000 votes and expresses disappointment that the media ignored his campaign's controversial subjects. A caller correctly identifies Richard Nixon as the president who commented on political leaders in Russia being taped, becoming the sixth contestant of the month.

57:23 I don't know, what I've heard he got...I have to check with him but I've heard from other sources that he's had 17 complaints on this one. Yeah but what are you saying? Well I can tell you that I've had many more complaints than that. Jeff has had many many more. But the thing boils down what is it that we're doing here? Is this a free speech forum or is not. And when you start implementing standards that free speech people might not agree to, then you don't have free speech. It's as simple as that." Do you agree that this would be considered free speech caller?"It is free speech". You do? What about you Ken? Is this free

58:11 You mean their decision? No, showing this. Showing that video that Greg's shown Oh sure It's a form of free speech Did you want to play the game Carla? Yes Between 1 and 200 I got one B now Between 1 and...200 Thank you Ken, appreciate that 22 Mike is getting old, he suffers from mental pals Americans are bargain hunters In fact, 75% of us say we feel great when we know that we got a really good deal.

Give us call back next week that Was according to Roper organization they did deserve information on that welcome to River City talk Welcome Welcome to River City Talk. Yeah, this is for Jeff sitting next... Jeff Davis over to my left and over to my right we got Ken Ayala. I heard you ran for Congress? Yes sir. What district? Right here District 10 Did you did you run against the billionaire Lloyd Doggett? How many votes did you get? I got about 3,000

1:00:05 Well, I mean that's not too bad. It was not nearly what we expected. He didn't have the money to run. What party were you running for? I ran as an independent. Independent? Got on about the same way the pro did. Not a libertarian? No It was actually very much of a disappointment to me. I received 10,000 votes in 1992 but there was heavy competition and the media completely ignored everything we were talking about. We were running controversial videos talking about controversial subjects and the other challengers were just the Republicans

1:00:46 So, needless to say that I was disappointed by the show and myself. Yeah well uh...I guess we'll go ahead and play the game let another caller get in there. Okay go right ahead.

CHAPTER 22 / 30 Discussion

Network TV Standards, Public Access Differences

A recurring caller questions why public access should have different nudity standards than network television. Jeff Davis argues that network TV is controlled by multinational corporations like Walt Disney and serves as propaganda. He emphasizes that the real issue is the dangerous precedent of using "community standards" to restrict any content that deviates from corporate-sponsored narratives.

network tv· public access· walt disney· censorship· actv· media standards

1:01:50 Yeah, Mike. I hope you don't mind me calling twice tonight. This is mark again Okay, I wanted to direct a question towards Jeff regarding the nudity standards on TV Why is it Jeff that you and some others? Seem to think that there are there should be different nudity standard for either cable access or Network TV I doubt Where did you get that idea? Well, I mean you've been saying that You know, you can have all this violence on network but you can't have nudity on public access. Yeah and I don't watch the networks either So i just don't watch it It's propaganda There is no information there given so I just do not watch it But why are you arguing... If I don't want to watch the nudity on public access then I won't watch that

1:02:43 but do you believe that uh... nudity should be on public access while not being allowed on network tv i've already said i'm not going to watch it but he didn't answer the question as long as it is not allowed on network television, do you think it should then be allowed on public access? like let's just say for instance they used to not- there's a difference first off the uh... network television finance through sponsors and multinational corporations, people who I believe largely don't have our best interests. Well Walt Disney owns a lot of it so they're not going to show that on... Now I'm not going to say whether I believe showing all out nudity on public access is right or wrong To me thats not the point

1:03:33 The point is, it's a very dangerous precedent that we're setting. If you take a look at what you would call community standards... There is no precedent. It has already been set. Well what if the community standard later on six months from now say to Jeff Davis, We don't like your running these Waco. We don't like talking about treasonous government in Washington In fact if you read the new ominous crime bill It literally, virtually could make you a criminal now to even speak out against this government. So am I to be yanked off the air for community standards and or for federal law purposes? Well see, I'm for nudity all the way around See the bottom line is this my friend either we take control of our lives or somebody else could do it for us Now I can sit there if i don't want my son or children to watch that they won't watch

1:04:32 but we do have to have some element of censorship. There is no doubt about that, we cannot just allow anything on TV because we can change channels That's not the point there is a certain degree of censorship there always has been and always will be so the censorship issue is moot it's already there It's just an issue of degree but it won't be allowed on the network should be allowed only public access uh... cannot buy that okay let me ask you then there's a lot of things a lot of major issues they're not being reported and then i in the networks okay are we now to move towards those standards and say weekend challenge what the government did at waco texas because it's not on the networks well the network for influence

1:05:17 uh... more so by their advertisers than anyone and the family not government and their government license what that had their government license i mean that's that's up to question but well i mean you can you control of our if you want on public access just as a network and but the networks can show nudity medical I had that exact same comment on my comment line, which I've told y'all before. It just so happened and Greg had nothing to do with it and I had nothing to do with it. It was from programming that nudity showed right after River City Talk a couple weeks ago

CHAPTER 23 / 30 Discussion

Media Conspiracy, Waco and Ruby Ridge Coverage

The hosts debate whether mainstream media intentionally suppresses information regarding the Waco and Ruby Ridge incidents. While a caller points to recent coverage on "Primetime Live" and "20/20," Jeff Davis argues that these reports are years late and often serve as "Pentagon propaganda." He claims the media induces a "conspiracy mentality" while failing to seek criminal indictments for high-level officials.

waco· ruby ridge· 20/20· primetime live· pentagon· propaganda

1:06:01 And what happened was, everybody... I had my comment line up there and when that came on right after my show everybody connected that with mine. And I had that same comment left on my office machine But let me get... Let me throw a question back at him You never answered my question My question to you is Since the major networks, for one reason or another are taking just take the Weaver and the Waco incident. And let me tell you my friend there's plenty of things that the major media is not telling us okay but just two clear issues are the Weber and the Waco incidents

1:06:42 A lot of this information that's been getting played on public access has been completely either ignored, blacked out by the national news now for years. So my question to you is again if in fact we're setting the standards by what the networks are doing should it then be against public access television to not put out any type of information that might contradict What's in the major network news media? No, I think you should be as critical as you need to be but I want to throw this back at if You watch the primetime live show tonight regarding the Weaver incident. I don't think they could have been more critical of a government and 2020 how come it's three years later story on the Waco situation and they too could not have been more critical of the government so there is not this

1:07:34 conspiracy of silence that is going on with the network. I don't think the network has ever... What are you saying? This happened three years ago! What's that? This happened three years ago, Sammy Weaver would be 17-years old today and they're just now getting around to an investigation?! Well, I think you're watching less network TV than the rest of us maybe because they have been doing fairly regular a number of stories on both sides. criminal indictments and not scapegoat a few scapegoats, but if we actually get criminal indictments from the people all the way up to the top

1:08:25 for criminal charges on Waco, Weaver and all the other incidents. Let me remind you there's also some of them that you're not hearing about. There are atrocities going on across this country. Okay. Abuse is going on. Do you think that the networks have been giving the government a free ride on issues like the JFK assassination or Vietnam especially? I know they have! In fact, if you read the Desert Storm scenario, the media was nothing more than a pen-do it for Pentagon propaganda. The media is consistently hyping a conspiracy mentality... always! It's inducing what... We're going to have a whole show on this Jeff

CHAPTER 24 / 30 Discussion

Cable Subsidies, Religious Programming Complaints

A caller complains about being forced to subsidize 24-hour Christian channels through his cable bill. He suggests that cable companies should offer an a la carte option where viewers only pay for the channels they want. The hosts discuss the "Church of the Almighty Dollar" and the difficulty of changing the standard cable package structure.

1:09:08 We'll have a whole show on this, but we're gonna get as many callers today as we can. But uh...we're going to have a whole show on this Mark so can you give us the call back when he's back next time? I sure will! Because your good guest. I mean not guest caller. Thank ya! He has already played the game. Ken, you didn't get to respond on that. Ken did you want to respond? Yeah, he was originally talking about the uh... he was comparing ACTV with Major networks. And of course, the major networks are controlled by their FCC license which dictates what programs they can show to some degree or to a large degree and then there's sponsors. Walt Disney owns a bunch of... Which are hundreds of millions of dollars. Let me just mention this At the same time, ACTV is a community program so with the limited number channels why can't

1:10:07 We stick to simply free speech on 10, 11 and 16. Well according to Loopy we've got 620 thousand people... Let me just mention this briefly Mike It doesn't take a genius to figure out that during the Desert Storm War which I was against but the fact is that GE owns NBC News and NBC was literally showing war machinery being used during that war. It's just like they're selling their own war machinery, they manufactured the war machinery

1:10:48 and on the same boat reported what we got coming out of the desert. Okay, we've got a caller on the line. Caller are you there? Yeah. Okay, go right ahead. I wanted to know...I forgot to ask you a minute ago What can we do get rid of these ridiculous 24 hour Christian channels that they keep sticking on regular cable vision Why do we have to pay to subsidize this kind of crap That's what i want to know Well, I called them recently and they said that The community wants it What channel are you talking about, sir? Can you give us a specific channel? They got that vision or whatever it is. What channel is that? I don't know. I'd have to look here real quick. 59 or 58? Yeah, there's another way up there. You've got like Benny Hinn and them doing the... Or they cap you on your forehead and then pass out. And they all beg for money every damn one of em'.

1:11:37 Yeah, that's the church of the almighty dollar. I want to just... The way I'd simply just if you don't want no comments from the studio audience but if you don't I'm going to tap you on the head If you don't like it can you just simply change the channel or is that what your complaining about? I'm complaining about having to subsidize. That's right, that's what I was trying to get at. They have the technology over there why can't they give you an option of like two or three channels you can drop or pick up? It's like if you call in and get the Playboy channel or you could call in and get a movie on a certain night why can't you call in and tell them hey this month... Because I've asked him that many times. Why can't you sell it by channel

1:12:21 like 20 cents a channel instead of the ridiculous price that they're selling it for now. But, you know, it's because the more they put on the more they can charge. Then they try to hype it and make it sound like there are bunches and bunches of channels but a lot of them are just daily channels. You know, if they want to see 24 hours of Jesus let them pay 10 bucks a month for each damn channel. Get it out of mind! I don't want it and I don't wanna have to pay for it. It seems like in the ACLU or somebody oughta be able to do that because they're forcing religion down your throat whether you want it or not Well, to me that's just part of the package. Either you accept the package or you don't. If you wanted to make those arguments, you could say the same thing for this forum. Okay. Sir we're going to get these meeting calls. Did you say you already played a game tonight? Huh? He did.

CHAPTER 25 / 30 Discussion

Austin Real Estate, High Rent and Utility Costs

A caller from Houston expresses frustration over the high cost of rent and utilities in Austin. The hosts attribute the rising prices to corporate ownership of apartment complexes and the high demand from students and new residents. The segment includes a brief trivia question identifying Chicago as the largest U.S. city on the Great Lakes.

austin· rent· real estate· electricity bills· supply and demand· chicago

1:13:15 Caller, are you there? Yes. Go right ahead. Let's get off the nudity thing for a second. I'm a transplant from Houston. In the last year I've lived in Dallas, Houston California. Why is Austin's rent So doggone high. Well, I can tell you a couple years ago it wasn't this high until everybody started moving in here That's when they found out they can charge that much Yeah, I lived there 12 years ago off of North Lamar and I remember when it was not high Now this is what I've heard A lot of your apartment projects especially your new ones They are corporately owned by a lot of your investors out in California But that's not true

1:14:00 or basically. I've heard that too, yeah. Basically this is true. All right what i want to know is... But I've also heard that a lot of Japanese own them too? Or whoever owns them corporations are owning these apartment projects and they're getting what they can especially if you want to live in a decent you know like the northwest area right or or a new area all right i'm just wanting to know is there not any kind of county or city stipulations where Letís say you own 3,000 apartments. Isnít there some kind of stipulation where they have to provide a percentage of these apartments? uh... which i might quite a bit more but if someone makes ten bucks an hour he cannot pay five hundred fifty six hundred fifty dollars for a month's rent. Okay let me ask you this sir, and I'll throw this out into the shouldn't this be based on supply and demand what do you think of that? That is true okay but the reason you got to demand here because when college season starts they take up all your low rent well before college started it was this high yeah I can guarantee that we know that when you have nowhere else to go yet

1:15:11 Now if you want to live in north or west Austin, or North Austin or a lot of other areas. You have to pay it there's no way out. You're going to either have to move out down around Riverside or go way out south I mean you can't even get up to Pflugerville and Round Rock and Georgetown. Having them to Georgetown your apartment is up there the same although at low-less you can get one for $450. It just seems to me that I come from Houston fairly large city. I have no idea, these are facts that I know nothing about. It's outrageous. I can't afford to pay them Harley. Welcome to the new world order. And IRS sent me a letter too! I gotta tell you later about how they sent me an IRS letter. I paid them off and they're sending letters still!

1:16:00 but perhaps also with the high occupancy they say that it's not a eight ninety nine practically hundred percent occupancy yet we have real large numbers like that you've got people moving and stay in three months moving out breaking their lease here uh... so you know i look at it for well what i think at least they do damage then how do you subsidize the cost of damage because they only put you know couple hundred dollars deposit but they did almost about our own problem with it but most of it is a month apart you may want to apartment that It's charging you 500 rent, and you put down a $500 deposit or 3 cents to your 400. And then the electricity bill is about 800-900 dollars. Don't tell me that! No I got it for 8900 dollars but they estimated it and then they came back and said it was 122. Yeah electricity in Austin is very high. Higher than Houston? Well I wouldn't know about Houston...I was born raised here but uh..it's very high here.

1:16:55 I think, in the state. Well a lot of people don't know how to conserve electricity either. Did you get that air conditioner and that electric... I don't know if that matters or not because they sometimes they base that on what you use, don't they? Yes, they do. Okay sir i'm going to get as many calls as I can did you want play the game tonight go for it okay one between 1 and 214. Don't even have to say anything already okay okay what's the largest U.S city on the Great Lakes Got no idea, Michigan. What's the largest U.S city on the Great Lakes is what it says? Uh got no idea Detroit Chicago okay thank you all righty thank you sir welcome to River City Talk hello yes hello hi how are you doing
