00:00:00.000 The common law that all of us grew up with and had been in existence throughout our history,
00:00:14.480 even going back throughout our English history, is essentially biblically based.
00:00:19.140 And there's been a faction, an element, whether it's due to personal objectives or infiltration or a mixture of both.
00:00:35.860 There is a sect of people who, for lack of a better way of putting it, simply believe that the common law means that they're sovereign and that nobody can tell them what to do.
00:00:51.460 And unfortunately, that's not only incorrect, but it's a segment the media latches on to immediately to label all of us as far-right extremists that believe we can't be told what to do. 0.98
00:01:07.900 And then, of course, the majority of the public go, well, you guys are just nuts.
00:01:12.080 And that's a real problem that's been ongoing, not just in the last couple of years, but it's been ongoing for a couple of decades now. 0.96
00:01:20.800 And there's a variety of theories out there in that regard.
00:01:26.320 I address the part, number one, that we are not sovereign.
00:01:30.480 And the sovereign has a legal meaning.
00:01:33.820 And essentially, in our law, it has always meant the monarch.
00:01:38.640 And for anybody to come up and say that they personally are sovereign, walk away from them right off the bat,
00:01:45.240 because they're either ignorant of our law or they have an ulterior objective, one or the other.
00:01:54.180 But it's scary in a way because the media certainly latches on to that.
00:01:58.640 And then the media just portrays everybody on the right, no different than the convoy,
00:02:03.020 and they've got one person with a flag who they planted.
00:02:05.380 And then, of course, the media just continually ongoing harps on that and says, look at this one person.
00:02:12.960 These people that came here attract all of these elements.
00:02:16.900 And, of course, that's simply not the case.
00:02:19.520 And the same applies to the kooky common laws, as you call it,
00:02:24.240 because there's a variety of people out there that really don't know a lot about our common law
00:02:30.040 and have promulgated theories that have been passed down, and they get recirculated.
00:02:36.460 I find that they'll be in existence for a year or two, people who realize they're wrong, and then they die,
00:02:41.360 and then somehow they get regurgitated years later, and it just seems to be cyclical in nature in that regard.
00:02:48.560 And so I want to address the fact that there is an extremist element that's out there
00:02:54.740 that believes that they cannot be told what to do.
00:02:57.600 And I'll be the first to say that's absolutely incorrect, absolutely.
