23:06 Whatever, whatever it is. But anyway he says you can flip his goal is to be able to make a flip over and still flying back and forth I said You gotta put a camera, he's got a camera. You've gotta take it to the MeVeo offices And then live with that fly right at the window outside the bookkeeper's office Just have it hover there No no, you've gotta give him a plane ticket Have him come over here Fly it over my house Then watch what I do I'm not giving him a plane ticket so he can destroy his little plane. I will shoot that fucker Yeah, says you all right go on yeah? No. I was watching this and by the way. I've really fan now of the other senator from Utah Mike which is Leslie I guess Who just really nailed this whole thing this is a this is an interesting battle This is the internationalists within Congress which includes Clinton and Obama
24:05 I guess Panetta and most of the Democrats in Congress that just want to give a turn our sovereignty over to an international body. Yes, while saying no no no we're getting more sovereignty that was basic argument that i kept hearing oh no you're get it all wrong when you see giving a new know your way off were getting more sovereignty and more power if we sign off on this. So I took the liberty of reading the UN Law Of The Sea Treaty And even though I have it marked up in the show notes, 411.nashownotes.com, I've actually done a little...I've written a little rundown so i can just give you a brief synopsis of what it is and why it is not good for us and then in between this I have two quotes from Lucifer who..I love her because she was literally talking to me She knew I was watching and she was talking to me
24:59 and I'll let you know what she said. So first of all, this thing started in 1973 it was adopted in 1982 Reagan then rejected it Clinton did a rework and they had like nine amendments, and he sent it to the Senate in 1994. That got sent back to him in 2000 Bush tried again in 2004 so this is nothing new but it keeps getting voted down into Senate incorrectly because here's the only article that really really matters and this is Article 2 Section 3 It's one line Sovereignty over the territorial sea is exercised subject to this convention and to other rules of international law now I don't have to be a lawyer to tell you that means your sovereignty is exercised Subject ie is subordinated To this convention does that sound plausible to you John? I think that's what the argument. Is yeah, so
25:59 Just to understand the terminology, the territorial sea is the 12 miles off of your coast and there's a lot of language in this that shows how we measure that and everything. So you have the twelve mile territorial sea which is now subject to this convention then we have the 200-mile exclusive economic zone and the 200-mile continental shelf Now all of these, this 12 mile the 200-mile economic zone and the continental shelf have already been codified by previous presidential proclamation in our own United States law. So we've already been
26:41 adhering to this basic principle, but now it has to go to United Nations. Now it doesn't...it goes to the International Seabed Authority and this is the organization that is outfitted and they're located in Kingston Jamaica So here's what they get to do They get to tax anything you do outside of that 200 mile zone through application fees and right in the document it says this could be $250,000 up to 1 million dollars 1982 dollars I might remind it even says 1982 dollar so what is that now 10 million dollars no but it's a little more for everything you get out
27:23 From the seabed you have to pay a royalty which varies depending on whether it's nickel This is they talk about nickel a lot. What does nickel use for why isn't nickel so important? It's all over this metal hydride batteries for starters, okay weird freaking battery car So nickel is very important But the the royalty which is attacks also used as an alloy in most stainless steel I believe Is between two and seven percent It's kind of high. And so Lucifer addresses this directly, hearing me on the show already. Now some mischaracterize the payments for benefit of resource rights beyond 200 miles as quote a UN tax and this is my
28:08 personal favorite of the arguments against the treaty. Because I'm crazy? Is that it? No, wait this is one of her personal favorites but it doesn't mean she's wrong It's just one...it's her favorite! Here it is, so its their favorite and why? That will be used to support state sponsors of terrorism This is where she's really smart So she's twisting the argument. Yeah, I didn't it still attacks but she saying oh It's a tax that will be used to support terrorism not nobody says that that's why she's in sick twisted person date sponsors of terrorism Honestly, I don't know where these people make these things up
28:44 In your office, you make that up. I didn't hear Mike Lee say that! No one said that it's not this is about just a tax is an actual tax so she's admitting its attacks but if she saying oh it's not attacks to support terrorism know but it is a tax will make these things up but anyway the convention does not contain or authorize any such taxes Now, let me just refute this.
