Matt:  My wife and kids were, were threatened, my home life was disrupted it was just a nightmare. Just to put on a support the troops rally.

Debra:
Oh my Golly, well, here is something to keep in mind for anybody who is listening to this in archive wanting to know what we are saying, keep this in mind folks your BTR accounts can be subpoenaed and we can find out who you are if you do cause us problems like what Matt just described, if you, if somebody participates in illegal activity, and if they, slandering, threatening, you know, libel, all that’s illegal activity and all it takes is a lawyer, that’s all it takes is a lawyer to subpoena a person’s online account

Matt: and my lawyer is an Arab, and he is pissed anyway so be careful

Bob: Here is a big thing, I’ve told this to Deb before, I have even told this to Angie, I’ve told this to everybody and I have even said this on the air on Deb’s show, I have sat there and said plenty of times you know, Deb’s given enough respect by not, not mentioning their names, and you don’t talk about the sake of slander, now here’s the big thing, it’s not slander when it’s the truth and Deb does tell the truth. She gives them enough courtesy, not to mention their names.

Debra: There’s a few reasons I don’t normally mention names, one, I don’t want to be like they are, I don’t want to just do it for the sake of doing it, and two, I don’t want to give them advertisement, and three, I don’t want to get kicked off of BTR. Ya know, I'll be honest.

Matt:  When I’m talking about the captain whoever, on America rising, I could be talking about anybody, so you can’t say anything about what we are saying because A: I'm are telling the truth, and B: I’m not mentioning any names. So, you can't do anything.

Debra: But the people who slander us, the people who trash us, like the people who started that stupid story claiming I beat my daughter when she was a teenager, that’s libel. I mean technically, if I had wanted to, I could have gotten a lawyer and said listen here, listen to the audio of this.

Jimmy z: How sad is that?

Debra: Yeah and I could have asked my lawyer to subpoena the persons account, if for no other reason to scare the crud out of them. At least then, see, I believe I have the right to know who a person is, who is slandering me. I believe I have that right. And if somebody threatens me, I have been threatened online; I believe I have a right to know who it is. And if I wanted to, I could have my lawyer simply subpoena their account. A lawyer would be within his rights if he saw proof and heard proof, you know like this audio of somebody slandering another person, a lawyer could legally subpoena the account and if for no other reason than to just know who it is. Because, because you know especially when threats, like you said you’re your family was threatened Matt, you could have a lawyer subpoena that person’s account at least to know who the person is, if for no other reason for protection.

Matt:  There’s no feeling to describe, the feeling that you get, there’s no way to describe it, when you have a five year old and one year old and somebody directly threatens them, I simply say give me your address, because I will do, I will go pulp fiction on your ass.

Debra: Well the thing is, the one thing you have, this is what I tell people. When they start to threaten me, I say, well ok that’s pretty stupid of you because I now will put your name on a list, because if anything ever happens to me, they’re going to be who the police go knocking on the doors. They’re going to be, you know, because as an activist I keep a list of people who, who have crossed the line. Over on AOL, they found out where I lived, posted it online, found out where my oldest daughter was going to college, posted it online, that’s Stalking. And so I keep track,..

Jimmy z:  Sonlit knight had his daughters phone number and where she was going to school posted online

Debra: See? Now that’s stalking, and so, what you end up telling the person is, at the very least you tell the person, listen if you keep this up I will have my lawyer subpoena your account and your, and your hiding will no longer be, because then we’ll know who you are.

Jimmy z: Let me say one other thing, if I own, let’s say I own, a website, a fictitious website called political chat.com and I have three or four chat rooms in there, they’re conservative, liberal, and a couple of rooms where people battle it out from both sides and people type in all kinds of things and they get ticked off at each other and they start stalking each other if I don’t, if I don’t engage rules, that protect people as best I can from being stalked and have their personal information posted at my website I’m responsible too.

Debra: Yes

Matt:  What we’re saying is, what we’re saying is if, if you want to go after us and post little things about our shows or us, you better watch yourself, because we are keeping track, we’ve done this from the beginning, that’s exactly why all of the handles got cancelled right away because we actually do our research. We want to know who is behind it, so you better be careful. You can say the Buffman and Wrench show sucks and dissuade people from listening to it, but you better stop soon after that. Because I’m smart enough to find out who you are.

Debra: Legally, and have a lawyer do it the legal way.

Matt:  it’s not always going to be legal I’ll warn you now, it’s not always going to be legal.

Debra: But here’s the thing,

Matt: What I do to you, what I do to you is not always going to be legal, it’s not always going to be legal.

Jimmy z: I am really glad to point out here that Matt Buff speaks for himself.

Matt:  Yes, I speak for myself, when I catch you, you are going to wish that police, just forget it, I’m just

Debra: Well threatening a one year old and a five year old, what do they expect? Of course they’re going to tick the father off.

Matt: Just a little bit

Debra: Your going to threaten a one year old and five year old? You should have seen me when they were, basically that was a threat, with my daughter because there’s only one reason to post where a girl goes to college. There is only one reason that an enemy would post that. That's a threat. That's like, "We know where she is." That's what they're trying to say. 

Jimmy z: That’s right. They’re trying to intimidate you from speaking your mind on the internet.

Debra:   Yes. And now this is another thing that I want to say here. A lot of people will say, "Well, just get off the internet." And it's like, hello, that's what harassment is...

Jimmy z:  right

Debra: ...when they harass you to the point where you don't go into a public place, that’s what harassment is.

Jimmy z: That’s right

Debra: And yet here these people will say to comply, basically with your harassers; get off the internet. This is America. We are not supposed to have to go hide in our houses because someone threatens our life. What are they thinking?

Matt:  Not yet

Debra: Not Yet
