In this episode of the Radio Ranch, host Roger Sayles welcomes listeners to a special Friday edition leading into the Labor Day holiday. The show features a discussion with Brent Winters, a practicing attorney and expert on common law, who joins to continue a conversation from the previous week about the Declaration of Independence. The episode delves into the historical and legal significance of the Declaration, exploring its roots in common law and its role as a foundational document for American freedom. Brent emphasizes the importance of understanding the Declaration not as a declaration of independence, but as a shift in dependence from the British crown to divine providence.
The episode also touches on various historical and legal topics, including the influence of John Locke and Algernon Sydney on American political thought, the role of the jury in common law, and the distinction between common law and the law of the city. Brent and Roger discuss the challenges of maintaining freedom in the face of government overreach and the importance of individual responsibility in upholding the principles of common law. The show concludes with listener questions and comments, highlighting the ongoing relevance of these historical discussions in today's legal and political landscape.

Yes. Thank you, Alvin. Issuing us in on another segment of the Radio Ranch here on Friday edition, August 29, right, leading into the Labor Day holiday here at Roger Sales Radio Ranch. And, being as it is Friday, we'll have eventually, I guess, if he's not here yet, what Brent Winter's with us, which is always a treat. And I think we've scheduled one of the few Fridays we ever done a show where we had something scheduled to talk about. Usually, it's totally spontaneous. Today, we're going to continue what we started last Friday at the request of one of the listeners. Somebody Brent talked to has to do a comparison, like he's so good at doing of the, declaration of independence. So I think we're gonna launch into that today. But before we even approach that or say hello to Brent, who I don't think is here yet, we want Paul, if he would, to come out and tell us about the folks that are helping us extend our reach and give them the proper credit and recognition they deserve.
Aren't you?
[00:03:04] Unknown:
Well, I do believe. We have a a light compliment. Today, WDRN productions is not with us yet. They may show up, a little bit later on. No. Brent is not with us yet, but he should be connecting momentarily. We have radiosoapbox.com joining us. Thanks to our buddy, Paul. We have, let's see. Who else? We've got eurofolkradio.com. Thanks to pastor Eli James and Global Voice Radio Network. Links to Eurofolk and Global Voice are on our website, thematrixdocs.com. That's thematrix,d0cs,.com. And, you'll find links to free conference call there so you can join us live on the show. You'll find links to the archives.
I found three of them, I think, within the last two weeks that, I thought had published but actually didn't, so I did that this morning. And So we have, those episodes have been published now. So, like, last Friday's show with Brent, it wasn't published. I I could've sworn I published it. And yes yesterday's Radio Ranch before, Paul English Life, that wasn't published because, like, Radio Ranch ended at, like, 02:46, and I had to completely change gears and be ready to stream Paul English live fourteen minutes later. So so I I guess I kinda sorta dropped the ball on their radio range anyways.
I hear yesterday's,
[00:04:54] Unknown:
we're gonna put you put you in the penalty box for three minutes.
[00:04:59] Unknown:
Well, you know, I normally have about thirty minutes to prepare for that, but Yeah. I mean, we we had lots of questions and stuff. People were just just going after you with question after question after question. Well,
[00:05:11] Unknown:
I'm gonna have to yank on your chain next Thursday, with that guy, Logan, from Sewing Prosperity. We've rescheduled that interview. And if you could just come in at the first and guide my little computer through his series of steps to make sure everything's working, and then I think we can flip on off and be with, Paul. I listened to part of that show yesterday. I didn't get through all of it. I got up to close to halfway. So I don't know what they covered in the last half, but there's another pretty good in fact, I'm gonna send it to Paul. The second hour of Harrison this morning was interviewing a, a political dissident over there in England on the street for forty five minutes.
Effingham, I believe, in the city of Effingham where they've had some, interesting court situations over the migrants. Anyway, I'll probably drop that to Paul. You probably needs to see it. Did they I didn't hear you at all in the first one I heard. No. No. I didn't know I wasn't today. They are you banished too like I am done here or what?
[00:06:16] Unknown:
I joined the I joined the show late. There was a hiccup with the studio, and, I sat backstage through the entire show. So, I when that happens, I kinda sort of veer off and I do other things, because, you know, I don't have to be present, to answer any questions or to provide any any, input or viewpoint on anything. And I find if I follow the the conversation, there are numerous times during the show when I feel that I would have something to add to that, and it's just an irritant when I'm backstage and nobody can see or hear me. So I just don't even bother. Okay. Fair enough. Catch him as archives later on. Yeah. Okay. Fair enough.
[00:07:12] Unknown:
Hi, Roger. It looks like somebody's there with us. Who who good was that Gigi? Yes. It is. How are you doing? Morning. Well, I've been pretty good. How about you? How about Todd is the question. Todd, are you doing better today? Is Todd doing better? Does anybody know?
[00:07:28] Unknown:
He reached out to me the other day. I haven't really, like, spoken to him because I've been kinda busy, but I wanted to, inform you that it may be some people from a group a study group that I'm in. It's called study group for newbies, and it's, over for, the lady that's over it, her name is Mona. And, I was telling them about your radio show and, the documents and becoming free. So they were asking me about it, and I shared to the group the information for them to come over here if they had any questions or, whatsoever. So I just wanted to let you know that some of them may be joining in today, with questions on Alright. The status correction.
[00:08:17] Unknown:
Okay. Well, it might be that if you if you're there, I don't know if today is the day for it because Brent's with us, and we're already scheduled to discuss something. But we're here six days a week, and and tomorrow would probably be the better day for that. Okay? So, we're pretty free ranging and wide open tomorrow, but I see the aforementioned mister Winters has joined us. Good morning, Brent.
[00:08:43] Unknown:
Hey, Raj. I think you're there. Yeah. Is he not there? Yeah. Yeah. He's still muted at the moment. We did have some, unfamiliar faces in the conference room this morning, but Mhmm. Like, preshow, like, from, like, eight to eleven, It it's kinda like, like, off the cuff conversations, and sometimes mics are open and, like laborers and stuff like that, they they can get a little liberal with the language. So, I say I just suggest that people show up at eleven or, like, 10:30 ready for the show, and then they can hang out in the after show afterwards. That might be more, suitable.
[00:09:32] Unknown:
Yeah. Any of the are fine. If you're, if you're with, Mona or any of the group that's new, just hang in there. We've got this guy we're trying to reach right here, Brent Winters, who's a practicing attorney for over twenty years. He's, also been working on his own bible translation for forty years. He's quite prolific writer on all kinds of law books. He's an expert, if you will, as much as there is of anyone in our country, I believe, on the common law, which is what you move under when you change statuses here and move around over onto it. So we've been doing these Friday shows for I figure twelve years or more, at least. We don't know when we started or hard to pinpoint it, we've been doing it, and we both enjoy it.
And, there are some very interesting revelations that come out of these conversations at times. Due to someone speaking to him last week, we started on a comparison or at least a overview study of the declaration of independence, which personally for me, I think is the greatest political document that's ever been pinned. You may have your own other opinions. Magna Carta would probably be one too. But, anyway, welcome, Brent.
[00:10:47] Unknown:
I think you found your mute yet? You found your mute. I was talking to you before. I can't Uh-huh. Mute button. Paul, if you're still there, a little bit of housekeeping. Paul was kind enough to to try to get together a group of folk to take our trust course, our common law trust course that we teach at Winters Inn, and he wanted to make it more economically palatable to people. So he said, for a donation of, I think, it was $30 or something apiece, he can if he could get 10, well, he got he said, I think, closer to 50. And that's good. And you can still join that, Paul, if you put out the information. But people have been contacting us, Paul, at Winters Inn, and we're telling them, well, this particular situation is special. It's Paul's baby. We're not handling the the administration of it. And so we're gonna refer them to you, and we want you to understand or understand what's happening on our site so you know what's happening when they come back to you. You're the one that's handling this. Am I right? I'm not involved in any of it. I'm just getting information from, Joy.
[00:12:05] Unknown:
Right. Well, the the directions that I got from Francine was that people would have to go to commonlawyer.com and click on the donate button, and then they would, do a donation for $30, with their name and email address, on the donation and then send a follow-up email to [email protected] with their name and just, letting, the people on your side know that they were a member of the Radio Ranch trust group. And then they would be thrown in the spreadsheet and then that spreadsheet would be sent to me. So that's the directives that I've been giving everyone.
[00:12:54] Unknown:
Well, that's good. We'll just direct them back to you then. It's not a problem. Or then you're referred you've set it up for a donation of $30 or more in appreciation. They get they can take the course and there's more courses there. You can go to commonlawyer.com, www.commonlawyer.com, and take advantage of all the resources that are there. There are books written, a translation of the Bible, a common lawyer translates and annotates the Bible from the original tongues, all of about dozen courses at Winters Inn, and then church on Sunday at INN church INN.
And a fellow recently, a lawyer mock mock us. I've had this happen before. A couple of lawyers that are ignorant of what's going on, I suppose, or just wanna get ugly or envious or something. Mock that we, we have Winter's Inn there. We call it Winter's Inn for lack of a better name. It's a law school. Just like the the ends of court where common lawyers have been learning about common law for many centuries now And affiliated with each of the ends of court in still in England is what they call the In Church, In Church, INN. And so with winners in we have affiliated also and In Church just like on the college campuses around the country.
There'll be campus church, you know, whether it be a Presbyterian church or Lutheran church, Baptist church. There's a chapel often. It's for the private schools, almost always have one. I've even attended chapel at the US Naval Academy. They've got one there. So with learning institutions come churches. By the way, when I attended the Naval Academy Chapel, which I did on more than once, it was mandatory for all midshipmen. They had to go to chapel. They had to every Sunday, and that wasn't that long ago. But today they let lesbians and weirdos like that come in and pervert and they don't have to attend chapel. They can go be Buddhist or or Islamic terrorist or whatever they wanna be. This is how much the color of our nation has changed and it's done by force and threat of force. It's not done by common consensus.
It's you know, America's Christianity as a nation isn't by law. It's not by force or threat of force. That's just who we are. We've always been that, and we continue to be that. I travel a lot. I it's still shocking to me how many I'm not talking about high church kneelers and Roman Catholics. I'm talking about just bible believing Christians, how many there are around the country. Just our country's pervaded with them. They have infiltrated everywhere. They always have. They're still here. And our country country's attempt to abandon that by force and threat of force hasn't worked.
And, of course, our service academies, which we used to be standards of honor and integrity, by the way. They used to try to keep those standards even in the midst of all the sinful people that are there like the rest of the rest of us. They still tried to maintain a high standard. That's been out the window. Now whether or not DJ Trump's administration will bring that back, I I don't know. Things don't happen through government, friends. That's not what last, ever. Governments do not make things last because all government has at their disposal as a tool is force and threat of force.
That's the way it's always been. There's nothing wrong with that. That's what government is. I'm quoting, George Washington. Government is force. It is not persuasion. It is not eloquence. It is force force and violence. That's what government is. That's its tool. If it can't get what it wants, it only has one option, ratchet up the force and threat of force. If it still can't get what it wants, it'll ratchet up some more. That's all people in government know. That's what they get accustomed to, and that's all they know. And, that's it. I'm just make trying to stress the point. Somebody's gonna
[00:17:04] Unknown:
say something. I was trying to say something. Sorry, buddy. And didn't Washington say government was a fearful servant and a Damn. Master, dangerous master? Dangerous. Dangerous,
[00:17:15] Unknown:
dangerous Just servant. Dangerous. Yeah. A fearful master. Something like that. Fearful. Yeah. Yeah. But a Very accurate. Servant. Fearful friend. Yeah. Government is force, he said. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a Fearful a Beautiful master, I think he said. Yeah. If you can look it up, it's a famous quote. But he Yeah. He just won. Speaking of all the things we could talk about here, we said we wanted to talk about, The declaration. Yeah. If you're done with your comments, Roger. Yeah. Pretty much, I think, Brent.
[00:17:50] Unknown:
Okay. We talked about that. Could I quote could I quote my favorite part of that document? We haven't gotten to it yet in our discussion. Oh, good. If I could, I thought it was so eloquent. I just love Jefferson and his writings. He has erected multitudes of offices and sent hither swarms of officers to harass us and eat out our substance. Now isn't that exactly what's happening now?
[00:18:20] Unknown:
Yeah. No. No question. And when we get to those those complaints, this is a common law complaint, the declaration of 76, as I've said before, and it bears repeating. It's not a declaration of independence. And, excuse me one moment while I just send this. It is not a declaration of independence. It is it doesn't say that anywhere in the document. It's a declaration, if you put a description on it, it's a declaration of shifting dependence. Shifting dependence from King George the third for protection to, this and the rightness, the rectitude as it says of their position. Shifting that dependence from England to the supreme judge of all the world, it says.
That's what it is. It's not anything about independence and the most the only option we have as mere mortal men for independence is total unflagging dependence on the maker of heaven and earth and all that in them is. People call that independence. It really is ultimate dependence. And you'll never have independence of mind, you'll never have freemanship, you'll never have freedom of discernment and decision, and that's what freedom is. Free free free free free free free free free free free free
[00:19:51] Unknown:
free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free
[00:19:59] Unknown:
jurisdiction and all jurisdictions from him. That is the ultimate I should say ultimate independence or freedom and that's what we call freedomship and We should use free to freemanship instead of citizenship. Citizenship is a word from the from the world of the law of the city, the law of the city, the Babylonian Code, the code of Justinian most recently of the Emperor Justinian of the Roman Empire. That word citizenship has to do with the civus, the city. And citizenship, the opposite of citizenship to them, Well citizenship is civilization.
Civilization is citification. City, citified as we used to say. To be citified, what does that mean? That means to be a part of the cult, the cultists of and the religion and government of the city. And that's what Rome was, that's what Babylon was, and the cities of Egypt and Pergamos, and the cities of the modern world in China now. We'd said yesterday, Yeah. I've made dimension of it in China. What are they doing? They're building cities and trying to persuade the country bumpkins to come and live in them. And if you don't live in the city, you're a second class citizen in China. I don't mean a little bit. You don't have opportunity to do anything unless you come and join the cultists of the city.
That's the history of mankind, the law of the land versus the law of the city. And this our common law is the law of the land. And this is a our declaration of '76 is a common law complaint. You know the courts have consistently held that our declaration of 76 isn't law, It's not something that the courts would allow to be cited for a lawful position. And that's that's somewhat true in this sense, not completely the way the courts have said it, but it's somewhat true in that it is a legal complaint. I when I go into court, I don't cite to legal complaints to make my points about standards of law.
If somebody files a complaint, a plaintiff files a complaint, he says a lot of things. He makes accusations. He tells reasons for what he's done, but he does not I don't cite it as a standard of law, and that's why the courts have said our declaration of 76 is not cited as a standard of law in our courts. It's not. Should be. But it's not. It's a common law complaint. And, I understand why Roger, in deference to what you said, I understand why people say, well, it it is a standard of law, and that's why I said in some ways because it cites the law itself, you see.
It does cite law, but it's not law itself. Go ahead, Roger. It's the first document in the
[00:23:02] Unknown:
statutes at large when you open up volume one in the coverage right there.
[00:23:06] Unknown:
It is, but it still doesn't mean it's well, just because it's put here's another thing, Roger. I'm glad you brought that up. What congress says is law doesn't mean it's law either. I mean, you the people we have in Congress, do we really wanna trust them for anything? Come on. We ourselves we ourselves make those decisions, and we do that individually. That's the discernment that God has gave given us. That God has given us our scope of jurisdiction is premen. Now when I go to the declaration of 76 I can find a lot of law there, a lot of citing to law, and complaints about breaking law, that's true, but just to say it's a statute, it's not a statute. Now our Constitution of The United States, Magna Carta, those are agreed upon standards of law at the time they were written and they should be yet today.
What are they? They are agreed upon. They're saying Magna Carta, King John, and the landholders of England said we agree this is the law and the way it applies right now in these circumstances that we've cited. Magna Carta cites. What is our constitution of The United States? It is an agreement on what we believe the law to be and what those men they agreed and they signed it. Said this is what we believe. The the people, the militiamen of the several states, the militiamen agreed. That's what it says. We the people, that's the militia. The militiamen agreed, and this is what the law is. As to government as to government not as to us, the constitution does not apply to us, us freemen. It applies to those that are given offices and positions in government. It limits them, it doesn't limit us.
Our declaration of 76 is what breathes life into our Constitution of The United States. As we said last time, our Constitution of The United States is a dried dried up and dispiritched skeleton of words. That's why people scream and holler and pound the table about it. Well, you'd be hard pressed to find somebody that's ever really read it and even harder pressed some to find somebody that has read it and really has a clue what it means at any point. And the reason I say that is because without the declaration of 76, breathing the spirit of our common law into it, and there's a difference between our law and its spirit, The spirit of our common law and its application that birthed, as it were, our government.
That's what our country, no our country, I'm sorry I said our government, the declaration of '76 is the document that recognizes the birth. It doesn't birth our government, I'm getting more persnickety here, but it's the document of official recognition recognition of the birth of the spirit of our government. And,
[00:26:01] Unknown:
well, that being said, let me go on with a little bit, Roger. I Mhmm. Go ahead. Say something. I was just gonna say people, you know, I use the word nexus on jurisdiction a lot. Well, this is the nexus, the star of our country. Is that right there when they wrote that and put it out publicly?
[00:26:15] Unknown:
That yeah. That's true. Now, this the, Lincoln, for example, and, Gettysburg address used that analogy that the Bible uses when he says at the end that that our country may have a new birth of freedom. Born of the spirit again. Well, it was born of the spirit the first time. Now there are people that argue of course what Lincoln said, but I would point also, and this is something that we should say more often, Stephen a Douglas debated Abe Lincoln seven times when they both ran for the US Senate back in 1858, and seven times, and all over the state of Illinois. And that's what catapulted Lincoln into international prominence and set him up along with the Cooper Union address in New York City to run for president. Nobody ever heard of him him before.
Well, he ran against Douglas. Douglas, of course, supported a lot of things. He was the Democrat candidate and all the South supported him, and and of course he was from Illinois. From Illinois, well he was from Vermont, he was a New Englander and he migrated to Illinois, put it that way, when he was 20 years old. He rose rapidly. He didn't have much of an education, but he became Supreme Court justice of the State Of Illinois at age 28. And then, of course, ran for Congress, US senate, the state or the state house first. But after Lincoln was and then he ran for president against Abe Lincoln in the eighteen sixty election.
He ran for stuff and lost, like, seven times before he was elected president. I've seen his list of failures. Well, that was that was Lincoln. Yeah. I'm talking about Douglass. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. Yeah. We're good. That's but that's a that's an important point too, Roger, about Lincoln. He he just never quit. That's why he became president. But when he became president, he had just won an election again. Douglas beat him for US senate, and then Lincoln defeated Douglas as a Democrat candidate for US president. And, when that happened, Douglas went to the White House, and tried to to get a meeting between Lincoln and those in his party and those in the South to avert what he thought was coming. And Douglass said that Lincoln's acceptance speech was, it wasn't a rattling the war, it wasn't rattling the sabers, it was conciliatory.
Look, I don't anybody just saying let's let's let's talk or let's do something. This isn't gonna work. And then Douglass, tried to pull his party in the South End because he had ran for president on their behalf essentially and they wouldn't do it. And then Douglass came to the White House and he sat down with Lincoln. And Lincoln had called for a troop of or a levy of 75,000 men. And when Lincoln or when Douglas learned about it, he went to the White House and said, you don't understand what's going on, Abe. I've known you for years, and they had known each other. Really, they've been opponents for years but knew each other well, and vicious opponents, by the way.
He went to Lincoln. He said, you don't understand what's going on. He said, you need to levy at least 200,000 troops. 75,000 doesn't matter nothing compared to what I know is coming. And then he said this, what you really don't understand, Abe, is the evil behind what the South is attempting to do. The evil behind this what the South is trying to attempt to do, the evil forces. Now what Douglass understood was there was more behind what the South was attempting to do than what the South themselves understood. That's what he was saying, and he understood that.
And, of course, when you go, you find when you go and look more and soak yourself in the you find out that there was evil behind everything Yeah. North and South. And the the idea was to destroy our country.
[00:30:35] Unknown:
The the Southern thing was to maintain, if you will, a Jeffersonian America and those standards the country was founded on. The northern thing, as I've come to understand, I believe I can almost prove it, Brent, at least halfway, is that they went in and exacerbated these tensions and started the war on the northern side. And I my my opinion, pretty studied, is that they started the civil war to put this system in place so they could control the world with it. I know you and I have discussed that. And but that's my feeling at this point of all these how many thousands of hours I put into this over the years. And I but Douglas's point was there were forces behind the South
[00:31:22] Unknown:
that were aimed at the same thing. That's that's the point. That's what I'm saying. And the the France, Spain, Mexico, the Vatican, they all were behind the South for those kind of evil purposes. Beyond Right. Beyond what most of us could ever dig out probably. Hell of a time in our country, we're still fighting that battle in essence in some respects today. But let's not get caught up into taking sides over this. I'm not I'm not talking to you, Roger. Yeah. I'm talking to our audience. We should never get caught up in taking sides over this, and we should recognize the evil behind what happened. And it's never before and never, I hope, never again, more people died in that war.
Americans kill and slaughtering Americans like animals in that war than all of our other wars put together. 600,000 is the number I hear floated. Right? Closer to seven. True. Clearly closer to seven. And that maybe doesn't even get it all. And it was, it was just evil beyond evil beyond evil. I and, anyway, Lincoln Lincoln made the point about the new birth of freedom, and, this is the birth of freedom. And the the the analogy, this is a birth of the spirit and everything in the physical realm. Everything in the physical realm is a function of the spirit because God is spirit, and they that worship him must worship him ultimately in spirit. The new birth, the reality is the spirit, not not the physical. The physical is a function of the spirit according to Jesus Christ.
According to Jesus Christ, forget all your new age baloney and all of your all your stuff you read that's outside the Bible and all the false religion. No. This is just what Jesus Christ said, and the record of it is incontrovertible. Well, we read about the captain Preston, and we read about what he said about the laws of nature and the laws of nature's God. And Rogers talked about his admiration for Jefferson. Jefferson was a disciple of John Locke. Jefferson was a disciple of John Locke and the phrases of the declaration of seventy six and the concepts are from John Locke. Jefferson, even during his lifetime, was accused of plagiarizing John Locke.
Jefferson later said, well, I didn't really consciously plagiarize John Locke, I just knew John Locke so well and his treatises on the second treatise of government and all the things he'd written, that without a thought and trying to look things up, I just sat down and wrote from my conscience what was in my mind. Well, where did he get it though? John Locke. John Locke was the foremost fan in all of England of the Scottish Enlightenment. John Locke was a fan of the Scottish Enlightenment which arose out of the Scottish Reformation, and John Locke's father, John Locke was a Puritan, John Locke's father was a Puritan, and John Locke was an intense student of the Bible and the inerrancy of it. He held, John Locke held the Bible had no errors, it communicated no errors of fact.
It talked about a lot of things people did wrong of course, but it communicated no errors of fact. That's what John Locke's position was, and we'd talked about that last time. Well, let me get on. Let me touch back to can I add a little seasoning to Mr? Locke there? We're not he wrote a book that I was exposed to through Harvey, actually, an audiobook years ago.
[00:35:03] Unknown:
And and Locke wrote a book called Two Treaties of Government. Have you are you familiar with that, Brent?
[00:35:09] Unknown:
The yeah. Uh-huh. And that's Well, one of them. That a minute ago. The second treaty Okay. The second treaty is on government. That's the one that's so famous, but go ahead. Yeah. Well, the so one of those two was government by contract, which is what we've got now. Uh-huh. Well, he called it yeah. He called it tacit contract because it's not in writing. It's just our understanding. He says men have an understanding about what is right and wrong, and that's him and his the influence of the Scottish enlightenment. The Scottish enlightenment established the authority of two volumes of law, the laws of nature, and our declaration of 76 says this, uses the phrases from the Scottish Enlightenment, the laws of nature and the laws of nature's god.
And the laws of nature, that's their phrase for what we'd call today our common law tradition, the way things are in nature in God's creation, and they're never gonna change. There's the laws of way the thing the way things are. And the laws of nature's God then was there one of their phrases for the what they called special revelation, called the Bible. Lex scripta, Blackstone called it, the Bible in writing. Lex scripta. Our common law is lex non scripta, not in writing. And upon those two volumes of law from the same source from the same source, the maker of heaven and earth and all that in the midst, rest all of reality.
The laws of nature and the laws of nature's God, the law of the land and our Bible, our common law, and again, the Bible. So it's important to define those two things because that's the foundation of everything according to John Laocque, according to those that founded our country, the Puritans, according to the the Scotch Irish Presbyterians, of which there were a million when our country started, according to the Dutch and German reform groups, of which there were about a million when our country started, according to the Puritans, which there of which there were about a million when our country started, and that makes about 3,000,000, and that's that's it. That's how many, Europeans lived here. And that was there across the board.
That was what they believed and understood, and nobody would blaspheme those ideas. The laws of nature and the laws of nature is God. The laws of nature is a revelation of God, a revelation of condemnation. It condemns us to hell. The laws of nature the laws of nature's God, the Bible, shows us the way to bliss and rescues us from hell. It tells us about the Messiah of God, our Lord Jesus the Christ, and, tells of him from cover to cover and lid to lid. The Old Testament and the New, everything in there is about him and his law and his his new birth to have a creature, a man, that wants to do his law.
That's what it's all about from start to finish. Laws of grace, the laws of salvation, the laws of of how to live your life here on every law is God's business, government is God's business, the laws of nature, and the laws of nature is God. Well, Captain Preston from the battle there of Concord, I think I went yeah. I did go over these last time, an interview he had when he was 91 years old, and he said we didn't know anything about John Locke. We didn't know anything about Harrington. We didn't know anything about Alger sitting on Sydney. All the great philosophers of English.
What why did you go to the fight? And he said, we went to the fight because all we read was the Bible and the almanac and Watts, Psalms, and Hymns. Well, the Bible is the laws of nature. The almanac was the famous book at that time that had a hole up in the top of it, up in the corner on the left hand side, so you could put a string in it and hang it on the post of the timber in your barn. And the ladies could put a string on it and put a nail on the side of their cupboard and hang it in the kitchen. Because in there, it told you all about the laws of nature every year, The the the yearly almanac.
Poor Richard's almanac was the best selling book outside the Bible in the colonies. He said that's what they read. Why? Because it told them about the laws of nature, when to plant your garden, what to plant when, what seeds grow in the in the dark of the moon and the light of the moon. That's God's law. What how to how to set your fence posts, when when you should when you should set your fence post, what the weather's gonna be, when what are the what's the gestation time of your hogs, your cattle, your horses, your goats, your sheep? All that plus a whole lot of other stuff is in that almanac. It came out every year.
So he has said, I rest upon the laws of nature, and the laws of nature is God. And my friend, if you have anything else on your mind and you're studying all this trash, I see people studying trash, patriot, Christian folk, horoscopes, trash will lead them away from the laws of nature and the laws of nature's God. Weird Buddhist philosophies and Chinese philosophers that will lead you away from the laws of nature and the laws of nature's God, that the laws of nature's god forbid you to even read. Stay away from it, it says. Focus on the laws of nature and the laws of nature's god. The Bible says that.
The laws of nature acknowledge that. And to do anything, your life's too short, friends, to spend your time with trash, and you hear the distant beats, the distant beats of drums in the jungle, and you're drawn to them. I call it patriot mythology and stupidity, which is just to be redundant. Of course, you have to identify what that is. Well, how do you inoculate yourself from all that? By, soaking your brain in the laws of nature, and the laws of nature is God. And to soak your brain in one is to soak your brain in the other, but don't don't, ignore either one of them. By the way, the laws of nature or common law does not arise from the Bible. The laws of nature's God. That's patriot mythology.
Oh, our common law came from the Bible. No, it didn't. Our common law came from God himself. He revealed it in nature, in creation, before the Bible was ever penned. The reason that both of them undergird each other and they're both fundamentally in agreement is because they came from the same source, not because the one arises from the other. We don't reckon I don't recognize what is true in nature because I read it in the Bible. I may read it in the Bible. Some of it may be there, but that's not why I recognize it in nature. I recognize it in nature because I can see it. I know not to grab the hot handle of an iron skillet because I've learned the laws of thermodynamics in nature, and I know that hurts. I didn't learn that from the bible. I learned about not, not taking a leak on electric fence when I was growing up because and I saw the dog do it, by the way. I learned watching the dog do it. The hound dog, he did it. And, that's that's God has given us yeah. And God has given us God has given us men, us men, members of mankind, the ability to learn from other people and other animals and experiences of others. The dog could watch me pee on the electric fence 10 times a day for days on end, and he'd never learned not to do that. Because God has given another sense to us because we are the crowning of his creation, and we learn from the laws of nature. We learn from our bad experiences and the bad experiences of others. And we learn from the bad experiences of others even reading that book called the Bible because it says these things are written so that you may learn and know what is right and what is wrong from the wrong experiences and the consequences that I have brought upon others.
He gives it to us. So
[00:43:10] Unknown:
coming down to the laws of nature and the laws of nature is god. That's what it's all about. Go ahead, Roger. Inject, something I saw. I've been meaning to say it on the air. I keep forgetting about it. It was a short segment, and they got painters painting the fence, the mech Mexican border Uh-huh. Black because it'll raise the temperature of the bar 20 degrees unless people would be able to climb it.
[00:43:33] Unknown:
Well, that's smart. That's the laws of nature. That's good. Right? Trump's Trump's idea. It was Trump's idea. Yeah. No. This is the laws of nature. The everything good about it. And the the laws of nature, there's an example you just made. But we pray the Lord's prayer is overwhelmingly infinite in truth. The Lord's prayer says, let thy kingdom come and thy will be done on land as it is in the skies, on earth as in heaven. Everything up there in the skies operates perfectly according to God's will, and God's will, the will of the sovereign, is law. Law is his will.
And when when we say thy thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, we're asking for the communication. The communication for what goes on up there in the skies to come down here to land. No. This is not astrology, friends. This is God's creation. And when the thermo heat, the heat from the sun comes down to land, it does things. It communicates to land when the tides go up and down according to the moon and the pulling of it. God is communicating his will from the skies to the land. The perversion of that is astrology. The reality of it, of God's law, is called astronomy.
Astronomy, Isaac Newton, the great English physicist, that recognized and told us more about the laws of gravity in nature, said, I can predict exactly what will happen up in the skies, the the position of every one of the heavenly bodies precisely into infinity, but I cannot predict the behavior of sinful mankind. That's right. You can't. The chaos down here on land, the fly in the ointment is us. And the Bible says that in Romans chapter eight. All of creation, all of God's creation groans awaiting for the redemption of God's people. But right now we're the fly in the ointment, and God has given law to us. Law so we can have some decency in life, some enjoyment in life because of his will. Roger, go ahead. You wanna say something? Wow.
Roger? Yeah. I'm here. I'm just trying to caught me unaware. I didn't have anything on. Oh, I thought you were. Well, the the law of God is there to bring order to the chaos, bring bring cosmos, order to the chaos that mankind brings to this world.
[00:46:17] Unknown:
You said something like you said a number of times, I guess, but I just it's really sunk in. The the only answer for all today's problems is Christianity. I mean, it's the only answer. K? Oh, the whole death and hell. That's right. I wanted to bring out remember, Daryl found years ago that in the early days of the country for someone to take on a public office, they had to sign an oath that they were Christian and believed in Jesus Christ.
[00:46:44] Unknown:
I remember that correctly. That's right. And we and, you know, that's right. And that was true in every state, colonies that became state. And then on the national level, in a lot of the colonies they became states, they came to compromise. There was one Roman Catholic colony, eventually one that became an enclave of Romanism, which is the Romanianism. Maryland. Uh-huh. And and see appropriately named after the virgin. I have nothing to do with God you know. Mary's Land. Well they said what are we gonna do? We got all these people here and they want to participate in government. So we started making compromises. One of them was we said, well okay okay, they said if you accept the triune God, that God is a panel, is a the panel of final arbiters of right and wrong. As the Bible puts it in the plural, Elohim, the the members of the Godhead.
If you accept that, you're Christian. That's what they finally said in some of the call some of the states. And of course, then they had the trouble with the quakers. What are the quakers? What are we gonna do with them? They they refused the bible's allowance of oath, and it's plum silliness, friend. It's plum silliness according to Jesus Christ and what he says to say that, we're not allowed to swear to anything. That's contrary to the law of God in the Old Testament over and over and over, contrary to the statement of Jesus Christ in the sermon on the mount, and it and and the proof of it in the New Testament, Paul the apostle takes many oaths in his writings, especially in first and second Corinthians.
Making statements statements of oaths about what he's saying. That's just silliness. And, the Quakers, though, the Bible doesn't mean that much to them, never did. Now I shouldn't say that. I say the Bible means a lot to some Quakers. Yeah. But the official doctrines of Quakerism are pagan. There's no question about it. So they had trouble with them, so they made some that's why, people say, you may put your hand on the Bible and and, swear or affirm. That's a slight of words. To affirm anything, my friends, is to swear. Don't kid yourself.
And God swearing doesn't it doesn't, bring the responsibility to tell the truth. You've got the responsibility to testify truthfully whether you swear or not. The swearing just, heightens is intended to heighten your senses to know what you're doing. That's what swearing is, but it is important. And the Bible, it's an act as the Westminster Confession said, the people, the Puritan, the Presbyterians, and the Dutch and reformed Dutch and German reformed people that were here. They adhered to the idea of the oath because the oath, the swearing, is an act of Christian worship.
No question. Let me get this real quick. Roger, it's similar. Oh, no. It's a little ringy thingy there. Yeah. Act swearing is an act of worship, my friends. And the Bible forbids you to swear by anything or anybody but the maker of heaven and earth and all that in them is. And to swear by anything else is idolatry by definition. Never do it. I cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye. That is Babylonian paganism to the hilt. You remember that from when you were a kid, swearing by yourself. Uh-huh. Oh, no. No. No. God has that option. You don't.
Swearing is to something greater to than yourself and and to anything, except, the maker of heaven and earth is idolatry, offensive to God, it's paganism, and to swear by him is an act of religious worship. Better take it carefully. Every time this is this awfulness of the tax return, just as one example, asking you to swear by writing your name, to swear to something. Swearing is an act of religious worship, my friends. We must be very careful what we swear to. That's another that's a I know it's a related question. But, yeah, that's true about about our country, but we we did that. We did it because that's who we are, and we did it wasn't really by force or threat of force. I remember, Roger, this is how much the country's changed. Well, it hasn't changed, but it has in a lot of ways. Used to be to blaspheme the Bible or the people of God or God himself or well, those three things. People just didn't do that where I live. I know I granted I lived out in the hinterlands, out in the sticks, out in the swamps, so to speak, on the hills on the other side of the river.
And but we went to a little church down there, and I knew people that wouldn't darken the door door of a church, but there was social pressure. Social pressure. We call it Christian culture. Just didn't allow that. People wanted to be accepted. They wouldn't do those kind of things. And there were laws against it until really recent decades. But it's it was just a common consensus. He didn't do that. And God blessed America. You have to ask yourself why. Is it because we're smarter than other people in the world? Because, the the white race dominated here? No. No. No. No. People are smart all over the world. And to say anything less would be racism.
Racism, yes, thinking you're better than somebody else. You're not. Matter of fact, you're pretty rotten. The Bible says you're rotten. I'll believe the Bible for I believe what you say about yourself. And I say it with Paul the apostle, I'm chief of sinners. That means I'm just rotten, and I need I need a savior. And if I don't have one, all hell is gonna break loose on me, and I'm done for. That's Christianity. Well, coming back to the point, the men that, ratified the declaration of '76, I call it the declaration of 76, Roger.
[00:52:51] Unknown:
No. It wasn't me. Somebody's in pain.
[00:52:53] Unknown:
Who is that? Somebody had a heart attack. I call it the declaration of '76 because that makes sense. It's not a declaration of independence. It's a declaration of shifting dependence, and, we need a name for it. I don't know what I'll get anybody to follow me, but I think that's what we ought to say, declaration of '76. And the men that ratified it were men that believed those kind of things. This is a common law complaint, is what it is, and it is the spirit of the thing that infuses reality into our constitution. Well, let's go on. Let me just read here some of the things I have.
Roger, if I may. Of course. Okay. This is from the book. It's a blow by blow commentary on the declaration of '76 and constitution of The United States, by yours truly, and you can obtain this booklet. I don't know of another one like it. It I find the declaration of '76 in the constitution published where they'll have comments before and after these documents, but I don't find any just for, Us folk that just says, clause by clause, here's what it says. And that's what this does. Well, we talked about captain Preston, and for him and the rest of the men, forget the founders. They were political hacks. God used them.
But the those that established our founding documents were the militiamen of the several states, not the founders. They presented it. The founders founded it. I debated a fellow, Roger. The somebody's got a mic open, Roger.
[00:54:25] Unknown:
Paul, could you find out where the mic's open, please, If you can mute that for us. You're distracting. Albeit faint. Yeah. That's right. Albeit faint. And we recognize Roger and I recognize Let's see if we can get this stopped here. Yeah. Let's get this stopped. Okay. 509.
[00:54:42] Unknown:
Yeah. Thank you. Roger and I recognize, Roger's been in radio for years, and I've been in now for Internet. Radio and and me too for years. And I came to recognize, Roger, that for every hour that I'm on, you multiply that by how many persons are listening, and that's how many man hours you're in control of. That a thousand people are listening in the first hour, we were in control of a thousand man hours, but I get the impression it's a lot more than that. I don't know. I just know that a lot of people will listen. Yeah. And so it's our responsibility. God has given us the control of this for whatever reason. It's our responsibility to control these hours, and we will answer for it. And so we're tough tough on how things are done here, and we we insist that we not be interrupted unnecessarily. We insist that people do not interrupt us at all, except Paul and, and Roger and myself. We can interrupt each other. Such a marvelous
[00:55:41] Unknown:
platform. You know, Brent, you've been around the whole thumb thumb tag where you were. But it's unique where we've got all these people on here that can interject at any time to talk about these very complex subjects that everybody's kinda interested in. And I don't know of any others, but it can easily get out of hand too as we've experienced a few times, and that's why we try and get in. And I was guilty of it yesterday. Bob chastised me Oh, yeah. For stepping on him a little bit. And Oh, okay. I try not to, you know, do that. But I as I told him, finally, I said, well, I'm the host. Okay? But you thought which which Bob was it? The one Bob for our Bob that's been on for years with us now from South Florida.
[00:56:25] Unknown:
Oh, custom hay mailer. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, but, but,
[00:56:30] Unknown:
Paul, anyway, we try and keep that to a minimum because it can get out of hand, and then you lose Mhmm. The all the attributes that we've got by having the format the way it is. Paul?
[00:56:42] Unknown:
Yeah. I I think what it is is we have new people coming and going. And Yes. There's there's a lot there have been a lot of conference calls, particularly in the patriot movement. And a lot of those calls, they can tend to be a little bit chaotic because people stay unmuted, and they they figure, well, I wanna be able to speak up whenever. Right. But Well when you get as many people Yeah. Go ahead. I'll ask you to comment when you're finished. Yeah. When when you get as many people as we have and we are broadcasting and, you know, there are compression algorithms that bring up the quiet ones and bring down the loud ones. So any little noise gets brought up because that's what it's supposed to do.
[00:57:28] Unknown:
Right. And and it's not always people's fault. If you get a text or get a phone call, when you come back, it's your mute's open, and people don't realize that. So it's just these combination of elements. We try and keep it as organized and, coherent as possible because we got we got a powerful message here.
[00:57:46] Unknown:
Yeah. And that one of the things that we can do go ahead. Somebody Paul, yes. So we should probably just let the new people know that if you get a text message during the show or if you get another call and you put the show on hold and then you come back to it, you will probably be unmuted when you return. So just go ahead and look at your mute on your app or do a star six and
[00:58:11] Unknown:
let the conference tell you if it muted you or unmuted you. You know, it's not appropriate, but it's amazing we can do this at all and, have this information out there as powerful as it is in this type of a format. And I've been around radio since I was in my early twenties, and, I've never seen another format like it. I have callers, of course, call in one at a time, but never were you could have this type of a discussion. So it's unique. We ask you to help us protect it. We're very proud of it. Brent, go on if you will. Well, I would ask the listeners
[00:58:44] Unknown:
to treat Roger and Paul and I as though we are a panel of three judges on a court. And the reason we do that is not because we're better than anybody or that we even want it this way. There's just no other way to do it. And it's same things in court. People fighting like mad in court, losing their lives, liberty and liberty and property, and the only way it's gonna work is if everybody makes those overt expressions of respect. That's why we say your honor in the court. And when the judge starts starts talking, everybody else stops. It has to be that way. There is no other way. In the Bible, it says that too. But in this case, because it's we have so many listeners, we just ask you to show a whole lot of overt respect. You may it may feel feel stilted to you, but it's it helps us, and we can do this thing that is unusual this way. Okay. And I understand the people that break the rules and kinda just step in there because they're emotionally involved with the conversation. They've got something to say. They wanna bring it at that time, and Mhmm.
[00:59:44] Unknown:
It it should be good and bad. Okay? We just try and minimize all the confusion as much as we can. So if you're new and listening, just some of the ground rules around here. They're not always followed super strictly, but we try to. And the reason is is,
[00:59:59] Unknown:
is to maintain order in our side of this battle. That's my job. That's right. God is a god of order, not disorder. He's a god of cosmos, not chaos. And it is order, his order, that will defeat the evil empire. Let's learn a little bit about it here, a little bit about it here. Order is everything to God. I can't overemphasize that, and his law brings his order. Well, read a little bit more about the declaration. This is from the book. It's available at on the book button at the commonlawyer.com. Our country never arose from any whole new idea for law and government.
As did the framers of Magna Carta, our forebears sought to return to the ancient common law principles and did. Thus, our war for separation from Britain was no revolt. No. It was no revolution, by the way, either. Not even a little bit. We call it that. It was not that at all. Revolution is characterized by vengeance. It's, what we did in America is characterized by establishing the future. We did what we did to establish and secure our future. Revolution is about vengeance for past wrongs done. The Vatican the Vatican, what's called, I'm quoting that law professor down there in Georgia, Harold Barraman at Emory Law School, formerly professor at Harvard Law School.
He wrote a book about it, and he called it Law and Revolution. It's about the the revolution that the Vatican enabled in the tenth century that reached its zenith in France during the French Revolution, and the blood ran in the streets up to the ankles when they were guillotine people. And then also all the communist revolutions grew out of that. All the revolutions in South America and all the law of the city world grew out of what the Vatican did in the tenth century. And that was to establish the code of Justinian, the as the canon law of the Church of Rome, and that code now in its and it's in its various forms governs almost every country in the world.
Almost every country in the world, the code of Justinian. And even those countries that aren't governed by that code such as the Islamic countries aren't governed by it directly. Its principles govern the Islamic countries. It is the law of Babylon. All of South America, all the communist countries, all of Europe, Japan, World War two, Russia governed by a form of the German code, the communist Russia governed by a form of the of the Eastern Orthodox code because they're Eastern Orthodox. That's chaos, friends. It's always chaos.
Our common law tradition is a Christian tradition. Our declaration of 76 is representative of a common law complaint that breathes breathe the spirit of our common law into our declaration of 76. American common law, said Supreme Court Justice James Wilson. He was on the first panel of our US Supreme Court. An immigrant, by the way, from Scotland, James Wilson. He said, our American common law, I'm quoting, is closer to the common law of the ancient Anglo Saxons than it is to that of the Normans. The Anglo Saxons, said Wilson, like the Americans, had a more expansive notion of individual liberty.
And then Wilson ends and he says, common law is of origin divine. I want this as a significant quote because it's not made by an Anglo Saxon, it's made by a Scotsman who immigrated to America. Of course the Celtic people, the Scots, along with the Welsh and the Britons were a part of that ancient Anglo Saxon tradition. We call it an Anglo Saxon Anglo Saxon tradition, but it was the tradition of the tribes on North Of Europe, which included at that time the Celts. And according to Algernon Sydney, one of the by the way Roger, Algernon Sydney along with John Locke were among the three greatest mortals that Tom Jefferson ever lived. Algernon Sydney, John Locke.
Algernon Sydney's book, Tom Jefferson said, was required reading at the university he founded called the University of Virginia. And John Locke made the point that the common law, which wasn't called common law at that time, it was called the Volk Reich, of the tribes, the Germanic and Scandinavian tribes of Northern Europe, along with the Celts, was not only alike in fundamentals, but was strikingly alike, I'm quoting Locke or, Sydney, was strikingly alike in particulars. He was a student of our common law. This, Scottish immigrant to America says that our common law is of origin divine.
Now notice, this makes the point I made a while ago. Our common law did not arise from the Bible. No. No. It is of origin divine. That's a fancy way of saying it came from God, the maker of heaven and earth, and all that in them is. Just like our Bible came from God. It came from the mind of God. It is a revelation of the will of God through nature, unwritten, that every man and woman could observe. And the Bible says that all men know of his wisdom, his glory, his intelligence, because all men have perception of nature. See, it's in the Bible. It talks about it. Psalm 19 lays it out rather clearly, saying that those two volumes those two volumes of law undergird each other because they're from the same source. David writing Psalm 19, just a few verses.
The first seven verses the first seven verses are about the laws of nature as he observes them in the heavenly bodies. The second or the second half, the next six verses are about the laws of nature or the laws of nature's God written in the Bible. The first seven verses about the movements of the heavenly bodies, the part of the laws of nature, use literary terms to describe what David is talking about. Nature. Literary terms in the Hebrew text. The second half of that psalm, which talks about the Bible, the laws of nature's God, uses astronomical terms to describe the Bible. Why why does he do that? Well, it's just the beauty of one of the thing beauty of of Semitic Semitic poetry.
It's beautiful. But in a in a way of form, David is saying the two not only complement one another by doing that, but undergird each other. And the laws of the laws of God from the heavens communicate to earth, and we are to pray that thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Well, that's, Justice James Wilson. Our common law is not a list of laws. I'm reading now from the footnote of this book, but a way of life and thinking. Our common listen to me. I'll repeat that one. Our common law is not a list of laws. It is a way, a roadway, a course you get on of thinking, a way of life, a kind of sensibility focusing on freedom of association, which includes freedom to disassociate.
Thus our common law focuses on enforcing the rights of relationships at all levels. That's our theme of our common law, differentiating it from the law of the city. The law of the city is organized around the subject subject matter and focuses on the will of the sovereign or the will of the state rather. Our common law focuses on supporting lawful relationships entered is organized organized around lawful relationships, and it that's from god himself, of course. The rest of the globe yeah. Go ahead, Robert. Can I step in the,
[01:08:49] Unknown:
the law of the the ruler over their subjects? And by the way, Brent, I guess this is some decision I haven't been able to track it down. Rick told us about it yesterday out of the ninth circuit on birthright citizenship. And the key on it is the key phrase and subject to the jurisdiction thereof. So I'm anxious to hear what they had to say about that. Mhmm.
[01:09:12] Unknown:
I think we're gonna see a lot more on birthright citizenship. I I have a feeling we we will too. Go ahead.
[01:09:20] Unknown:
Aren't the Russians, our cousins really Anglo Saxons?
[01:09:26] Unknown:
Yes. There is well, in my studied opinion, for what it's worth, that's my conclusion. Yes. But but they have fallen under because because of what happened in Constantinople in the year 1453. When a 180,000 Islamic church surrounded the city, that was the last vestige of the Roman Empire, the last vestige in Constantinople. And, it was supposed to be impregnable. You couldn't you couldn't reach the walls, they said, you know, had all these walls around it, thick walls. Well, the Islamic Turks had a turncoat among them named Ghettis, and he invented a cannon and had it made. He was an engineer that, fired a projectile, made a brass, fired a projectile, weighed 1,200 pounds, and they just kept pounding away at the same place. Of course, a law of nature It's a law of nature. Nature is a law of stress, strain, and rupture, and anybody that's been in engineering and has heard of stress, strain, and rupture, any any material whether it's iron or rock or whatever it is and has a certain level of it'll it'll withstand a certain amount of stress, and then it will stand after that a certain amount of strain, and then it will break, rupture.
And they just if you pound away at any material or tap it or apply stress, it will eventually go to strain and it will rupture. If you hit hit anything with a sledgehammer enough times in the same place or a hammer or even your finger, that's why you shouldn't chew ice if you have caps in your teeth. There will come a point. Bang. You'll chew it once, then it'll bust into pieces. Yep. That's called stress, strain, and rupture. And, that's what happens what were they talking about, Roger? I was not talking about the canon of the continent. Oh, yeah. That canon that finally got through the walls, and the 180,000 Turks slaughtered all the people inside.
But some of the people inside, the canon law priests, got away before that happened, then they snuck out and got away with the the documents of the New Testament, by the way, written in the original tongues. Those finally made their way to Europe, and within two years, the universities of Europe were studying the documents in the original tongue of the New Testament, and that was the the matches that were struck in the dry timber that started the reformation of church in in Europe, by the way. But along with that also came the documents of the original of the original tongue of the canon laws of of Justinian, the code of Justinian, the emperor of and those came to Russia along with the crown jewels of the Roman Empire. Yeah. By the way, and one of the one of the cousins or nephews, nobody know which one for sure, married one of the the royalty or the first families of Russia, and that's why in Russia today they're called czars, which is Russian for Caesar.
The Roman Empire see coming through. And, of course, Russia has always said since then that there have been two Roman empires, and they are the next one, and there won't be any more because they inherited the crown jewels and the original documents. So those people, became a law of the city country because of that, Roger. And the Eastern see, the the church split, the the the visible church, as the reformers called it, split into two parts, the East and the West. The Latin, the West became Latin speaking, and, the East became retained the original tongue of Greek, which the Rome was of the Roman Empire.
And, they're all the same church, all the same church, all the same high church, all the same mass, all the same Babylonian mass and all the fancy stuff, but there are some differences, but it's all the same stuff. Mhmm. They they say there's a split. Yeah. Then the the the the Western the Eastern church, just threw a lot of important doc doctrines out the window that were that are from the Bible and made much out of them such as the doctrine of the Godhead. But but still they're all the same. They're Babylonian at the at the foundation. The Bible is put into a position of second class or even to put the Bible at equal level with tradition, which they both do, is to make the Bible second class, and it will recede from consideration, and it has.
Well, that was the problem, but that's what happened. But all those documents came. That's the way I understand what happened in Russia. If you go to the website commonlawyer.com and you get a copy of the book Excellence of the Common Law, the comparative law text, comparing and contrasting our common law tradition with the law of the city. Now I have a section in there on Russia and how all the things I'm saying here, it's all there. All the things I'm saying here are pretty much in that book, by the way. It's almost a thousand pages long and heavily footnoted with original sources. And you can go to that book and you can discover the differences between our common law and our civil law, the law of the land and the law of the civvus, the city.
And also, you can take our course. You can you can get with Paul. We're teaching a course at Winters Inn on comparative law, comparing and contrasting the only true fundamental traditions of law and the government in the world, the law of the land and the law of the city. And we're doing that. You can take that court. No. No. That I'm sorry. Paul Paul, if you could get together folk to do that, they could get a discount there too, by the way. Any of these We're in the sixth week of that. Right? Yeah. We're in the sixth week of the other. It's all in the can. You can still go back and listen, but you can join it right now and and listen live and watch me live and, talk and and live with along with, by the way, sheriff Darleaf of Berry County, Michigan.
He's, been sheriff up there for over twenty years. He teaches those courses with me. I cease to be amazed, Roger, at, his level of understanding just because he's been practicing common law as sheriff for so many decades. I've got a new sheriff story for you. Uh-huh. Go ahead. What is it? One of our students in South Carolina
[01:15:48] Unknown:
had been driving, you know, driving on a passport card and stuff, him and his wife, and they, over a period of several years, they've been having these altercations there. It's one of the counties that borders, I think, North Carolina too. Mhmm. And so, he he at one point, he had backed out of a a traffic stop and gotten kind of a high some sort of a chase. But he's had all these problems comp compiling on each other up there. And he gets into the, meat of the court part of it. And he said, I'm just gonna call the sheriff and see if I can talk to him. Call the sheriff, said I'd like to come over there, my wife and I, and explain to you what's going on here. We're not sovereign citizens.
Mhmm. And the sheriff said, come on. They sat down and explained our whole program to him, and he dropped all the charges. Okay. And I don't know what's happened subsequently, but at least the sheriff in that county in South Carolina is kinda schooled. Maybe he'll come back to the surface and want more information, but I thought it was a really interesting, occurrence, actually. Mhmm. So, anyway, I also wanted to ask you something. I'm sorry to interrupt, but I've heard you mentioned this guy's name several times over the years. I have never heard of Algernon Sydney.
Who was he, and what was his contribution,
[01:17:11] Unknown:
please? Yeah. In in that some well, first, Roger, that thing about the sheriff you just said, it it's that's good news, but it's always the government will be careful to just drop things, and they don't want any cases, any precedent on the books. So they drop it in single cases. That's Right. Well, that's that's okay, though. That's more good news than bad. Algernon Sydney. Algernon Sydney. It is, rather rather curious. He he's forgotten completely, but he wrote a book called Treatise on Government. Big thick book. I've got a copy of it. You can get a copy. Well, you know, I I need to do this. Miss if miss Francine's listened, don't let me forget miss Francine. We need to make that book available on our website.
To it's called A Treatise on Government. Thick book. But in that, John Adams made the point. He said, you know, Sydney, Algernon Sydney just makes all the fundamental points we're making here. Now these kind of books for men like Algernon Sydney have their drawbacks because men are all of us are captive of their times. People criticize the Puritans. Oh, but they were captive of their times. Let's God used them for our benefit. Let's see what they've got to say. And if we understand, how they were captive to their times, then it'll help us get over that and we'll listen to what God has used them to to observe. And the same thing is true with a whole lot of things. I remember reading about, justice of the Supreme Court, Stevens who said that he he was a lawyer on his young years out during the days of the gold rush. And and, he said if you haven't lived in a world that was, inundated and the idea of the duel to settle problems between men, then don't criticize it because you don't know. You you if you were there.
He said, I'm not for dueling. It's a terrible thing, but trial by battle at common law. But in a place where there are no courts and where we're trying to establish courts and men have to resolve their differences, dueling does bring some order. As violent as it is, it does bring a requirement of order. Order, friends. Yes. That's what we're after, God's order. We were talking about that earlier, weren't we? Trial by battle, that's what dueling is, is part of our common law tradition that needs to be understood understood, because every all the rules, Roger, in trial by battle, and it was the duals were fought according to precise rules.
Those rules are the rules of our common law courts now. We go under our common law courts, the great difference between the law of the land and the law of the city, another great one is we are adversarial. We go to court and fight. It's a fight. It's battle by trial in front of the jury. That doesn't occur in the rest of the world. There are no fights in court. It's inquisitional. It's just the government trying to figure out how to get the information out of you that they want and get the result that the government demands through their statutes. That's not true in our common law tradition.
We fight and we fight the court and the rule. We go to court, and there's order there. We're it's not like going into a boxing match where people have, lead weights in their gloves and sucker punching each other. No. No. No. Hard blows, yes. But foul blows are not permitted. Everything must be done according to what? Common law. What is common law? Due process. What is due process? That's the process of trial, battle by trial, or trial by battle. You fight according to the rules. A fair fight a fair fight gives you a chance of having a lawful result.
You know, we say in our common law country, we said this as boys, Roger. You fought me a fair fight. That's not fighting fair. You weren't allowed. We weren't allowed to kick and bite and scratch and pull hair like girls. K. That's what girls did, we said. Girls do that, by the way. If boys do that, that's girly. See? We fight according to the rule. Weren't it that way when you were growing up, Roger?
[01:21:24] Unknown:
Yeah. I guess so. I was just, flashing back on what happened this week. I know you don't keep up with current events, but there was an incident in England this week that it's just one of those rare incidents that comes along at the right time Mhmm. With a 12 year old, you know, all the child molesters and the groomers. Mhmm. There's three young girls. The youngest is 12. Her older sister is trying to keep this guy who's making suggestive remarks to her, away. And the young girl pulls out a butcher knife and an axe and sitting there holding it, keeping this guy away.
Mhmm. And I swear it's just one of those moments, you know, that captures something that inspires people as to the injustice and the amount of it. And that little picture of that girl with that butcher knife and those, that axe is going to just be one of those famous pictures, you know, like Iwo Jima, something like that. Well, now that's fair, Roger. That is fair.
[01:22:22] Unknown:
The man's threatened to rape, murder, those are capital crimes according to God. And if that's what you're afraid of, all that fella had to do then would just back off.
[01:22:31] Unknown:
But I'd say that's fair. Well, with the what brought that thought to my mind was his sister grabbed there's three girls, grabbed the oldest one who was not with those two in the exact proximity and pulled her hair down and started banging her head on the street and beating her up. And that poor girl's in the hospital with a tennis ball size, protrusion on the back of her head right now. Now who did that? This, the the groomer's sister.
[01:23:03] Unknown:
Who is he?
[01:23:05] Unknown:
He's the guy that started the conversation making sexual remarks at the 12 year old girl. Well, was he English or Islam? He's a Mohammedan. That's not what he wanted to say. Well, I don't think that he was packy or something. He may have been a different variety. They got several, like Heinz 57. They got some varieties over there. Well, I'm not interested in distinguishing varieties. Well, that's exactly you know, that's what happened to that I've been able to get out of it so far. And, of course, they're gonna go after the little girl with the weapons.
[01:23:37] Unknown:
Well, they if there will be no England's about ready to explode. I've heard. There will be no respect for the female of the species, and there will be no appreciation for her. There will be no protection for her unless our tradition is a common law tradition, which is a Christian tradition. By the way, to drop another historical footnote, all of chivalry, what we call chivalry, arose as part of our common law tradition, and it's not about battle. At the foundation, it's about the relationship between men and women. Chivalry is all about the roles of men being different from the roles of women, and the roles of men in chivalry is to protect the female of the species.
That's what it's all about. And we lose that, and those things are consistent, by the way, at the Bible. Remember I said our common law does not arise out of the Bible. It arises from God himself just as the Bible does, that's why they are consistent and undergird each other. But Christianity, which that's the two volumes of Christianity, the laws of nature and the laws of nature of God. Those two volumes without those two volumes, there will be no respect for the female of the species, no appreciation of her value and worth, and no protection. Go to Magna Carta, another expression of our common law tradition, observations and agreement upon what the law is at any given time. The first few chapters of Magna Carta are about two things.
Number one, protection of widows and their property, and number two, protection of fatherless children. Now ain't that something? Ain't that something? But then consider the drafter Magna Carta, Stephen Langton, the chief drafter, was the foremost Old Testament commentator of his day. He was a biblicist, and he knew that once Magna Carta was published, he would be excommunicated. He was Archbishop of Canterbury. And he was. The pope of Rome read Magna Carta, blew a proverbial head gasket, according to those that were there when it was read aloud to him, in Latin. He drafted it in Latin, Langton did, to make sure the pope got to read it. And, anyone involved in it was immediately excommunicated and Langton or the pope of Rome funded was funding and preparing an invasion of England with money from England because the Pope of Rome owned one third to one half, nobody knows exactly how much, of all the land and real estate in England and had all the rents and profits from it.
That's why, England eventually got rid of all their monasteries, which they confiscated them. And important
[01:26:27] Unknown:
Mhmm. The only property that they couldn't conquer is today, the city of London, where when the new king goes once annually, every year he goes over there, and he kneels and kisses the mayor of the city of London's hand, the king of England.
[01:26:46] Unknown:
Well, I thought you're gonna say kiss some other part of his hand. Well, he might do that too as, in the dark, but publicly
[01:26:52] Unknown:
kisses his hand.
[01:26:55] Unknown:
And provides photographers as they say. Well, let's get back to Yeah. Listen, friends. It's not American. It's not American. If you're willing to lick anybody's boots, kiss their ring, kiss their finger, kiss their toe, as the law of the city requires all over the world yet today, including the pope of Rome. There's something wrong with you. Something. So you got you got a gear loose someplace.
[01:27:21] Unknown:
Brent, do you hear that not a dreammanship. Did you hear that clip of the that gal that was the shortest prime minister surfing in England's history? It's on, like, fifty eight days. I'm trying to think of his trust. Did you hear that interview with Ben? Did we play that for you? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. Well, if the audience didn't hear that, it's very short. Paul, can you lay your fingers on that? If not, I'll describe it if it's too much work, but I thought you might have it some folder right there at hand. For the audience that hadn't heard this, if you wanna know who rolls
[01:27:56] Unknown:
mistrust
[01:27:57] Unknown:
tells us who rolls rules the world and how. K? And she I'll go ahead and and and give an explanation of it. And she's talking to Bannon, and she says I make a decision as the prime minister, and I get a call from the head of the Bank of England. He says, well, we're not gonna do it that way. We're gonna do it another way. And she said I'm sorry. She says, I can't fire him, but he can fire me, which he did a little while later. Yeah.
[01:28:24] Unknown:
I want people to know this. I'm if we can talk about all the moral outrage, and we do here, and there is a morally outrageous. The banks have run the world since the founding of the city of Babylon back Yep. Yep. Back in Genesis chapter 11. Yeah. Maitland makes the point, the great historian of of the common law history. He said if we're gonna are gonna understand, anything about the law of the city versus the law of the land, we must go back and understand Babylon because that's where it all started. And, it's still that way. Another point I want to make is, Roger, I think it's important that we here recognize our responsibility, and I know you think that too, and that we have responsibility.
We control a lot of our man hours. And if we're gonna do that, everything we do here should be calculated to be fundamental of controlling issues to teach God's order. So when I say, pardon me, Roger. Oh, Roger. Oh, go ahead. It's your my pleasure, Roger. I say those make those outward expressions of respect, not because I have to and not because Roger requires it, but because God does. Because us poor, lame brained mortals have to make those kind of outward shows of respect or it doesn't exist. That's the frank truth of the matter. That's why you go to in parliament, those men in parliament and all hate each other with a pink purple passion. They're selfish. They're politicians.
And they stand up and say, well, as the honorable gentleman has said, do you really think that's what they mean by what they say? No. They they're what they mean to say is the dirty skunk and pole cat that just got up and delivered that that load of of, cattle manure you just heard. That's what they mean to say. But they still make that outward expression. And amazingly, they're able to maintain order there Yeah. And not kill and not, Roger, kill each other. I know. That's so that's why we do those things here. Sound like Cynthia
[01:30:24] Unknown:
McKinney's father in the Georgia legislature got in a fight with some guy and pulled a knife on him. You mean like that?
[01:30:32] Unknown:
Yeah. Like that. Like like that fella that started beating the daylights out of that congressman, with a cane. With a cane. And just before that, he had tried to beat another fellow that accused him of something. They both got into a tassel. Six or eight other people dove in, and one of them dove in and his doggone toupee flew off. This really happened. And they were getting ready to pull their pistols, but when his toupee flew off, they looked up at each other and started laughing so hard. This really happened in the US Senate that, some other people said, okay. Okay. Come on. They dragged them all off each other.
Well, it got worse after that, of course. But it is this overt show respect that allows us, us mortals, us lame brains with stammering tongues and biases and, carrying a guilt of sin that we all carry to varying degrees to get along a little bit enough to maintain order and get some business done. And, you know, maybe Even learn something. You know, miss Fran yeah. Miss Francine played a clip yesterday from the Patriot in our class on comparative law that I had her play. It was Mel Gibson, you know, in the Patriot. It was when he went to the state legislature of South Carolina, and the men there were were screaming and holler well, they were fighting, fighting over whether or not they were gonna leave the, leave England.
And I just noticed them. They did a good job depicting the way men just go at each other, go at each other's throats. But they must do in a way that is show has an overt show of respect whether you like it or not. Okay. We're getting back to that talking about order. I'm reading here from the winterized version. And let me, start here talking about the almanac and being the laws of nature. You were talking about Algernon Sydney. I said I would say something about that. Let me say a little bit about Algernon. Algernon Sydney was not part of the nobility of England, but he was of the stuff, as he said of himself, made of nobility.
And his family was part of kinda like Winston Churchill. He wasn't nobility, but he was he was a man born with a golden spoon in his mouth or a silver spoon, one of the two, and he was landed. In other words, his my family had money. He distinguished himself in the English, civil war, as they call it, at the Battle of Marston Moor. And he carried, he said, I carry the I carry the the decorations of that war, of that battle because I've got wounds all over my body, which was true. And then he got out and he began it was the Republican revolution. You see, they called it the Republican revolution because they were struggling so hard. Parliament was controlled by the Puritans, a political party, the Puritans. They believed the Bible.
They were Anglicans that said the Bible is final authority and not any mere mortal, not the queen or king of England even. No. The church of England, they said, is, Magna Carta says that English church is free. Now the bookends on Magna Carta are the same statement, embracing Magna Carta. It starts and says, the church of England is forever free. And at the end it said, the church of England shall be forever free. What's the significance of that statement? Well, for the first time, Christianity became a national concern and it wasn't a Popish concern. They said the English church, and this was the Archbishop of Canterbury saying it, is free free free from what? Free from any other country or any other sovereignty, and that meant the Pope of Rome specifically.
And that was an important step in freeing men from a monolith of Babylonian law. And that's what the canon law is, the Code of Justinian fundamentally, and not the Bible. No. The Code of Justinian was instituted, and that's what that professor down there at Emory Law School says in that book. Once the pope of Rome started the university city at a city in Italy named Bologna, Bologna, Bologna, Italy was the founding of the first university in the history of the world at the behest and money of the Pope of Rome to establish the Code of Justinian, the Canon's the Canon Civil Laws of Babylon, in that code as the final arbiter, the supreme logos, the final arbiter of right and wrong among humanity, and every country in the world now has that as a law and is under that culture, that that is the pinnacle of the zenith of human reason.
All of their from the mind of man, I might add, and that's what that was all about. And every university in the world was founded on that premise that everything had to revolve around that code and that's what they did. Well, we don't care here in America so much so that that code, even though it rules every government in the world, every government in the world except a handful of common law countries, there aren't very many, a handful of common law countries, never ever have we ever, ever had a translation of that into English. We don't care.
That's how much we don't care what it says. That's why I say don't waste your time studying all the counterfeits. You're wasting your life. If you wanna know what the counterfeits are, study the real article, the laws of nature and the laws of nature's God. And then when the count another one of the devil's counterfeits pops up, all the isms and schisms that we wish was wasms, when it pops up, you'll recognize it immediately because you know what the true article is.
[01:36:21] Unknown:
Roger, you wanna say something? I was. I was just gonna say what Brent's been describing. Here's what my teacher, John w Benson, used to say. The battle that we fight today is the battle that's been fought since the beginning of time, electrics versus the common law, the law of man versus the law of God.
[01:36:41] Unknown:
Is that simple? We're still fighting it right now. And a sky and a Scotsman from reformation in Scott Scotland named Samuel Rutherford. Samuel Rutherford wrote a book that brought that to the forefront during the reformation, and the name of the book was Lex Rex. Why did he say Lex Rex? Lex Res, Lex translated from the Latin into English, is law over king. But they had it the other way around. They had Rex Lex instead of Lex Rex. The evil empire says the king first, the will of man first, the reason of man, the reason of man, the law of man based on his logic.
See? The worship of the mind of man, humanism, and And he put it the other way around. Here's what I'd like to do now, Roger. I've been talking a long time. You sure have. Yeah. So
[01:37:37] Unknown:
I'm gonna mark here. You give me a break on Friday.
[01:37:41] Unknown:
Okay. I get it. I get it. I'm glad to do it. I'm and Paul's gonna say something. I'll I'll stop here in just a minute. I'm gonna mark my place here, and Paul's gonna say something. We'll start here next time, and then Paul is gonna talk.
[01:37:55] Unknown:
Go ahead. Oh, I'm I just wanted to let you know that we've got, twenty four minutes of the show left. And if you wanna hear that clip, we would have twenty three minutes of the show
[01:38:08] Unknown:
last week. Clip. Play the clip, Roger. And share it. And then and then maybe we can let people open it up for Yeah. We'd love to have any questions, comments, etcetera, and, those can be brisk. So let's get this little, this is mistrust, the shortest serving prime minister in English history, I guess, with fifty eight days or something. Mhmm. And this was her comment to Steve Bannon on the war room here, a while back. It just tells the whole story. If you ever had any doubts, just right out of the gal's mouth. Go ahead, Paul.
[01:38:40] Unknown:
What I found out when I got into number 10 is I thought that if I got to the top of the tree,
[01:38:46] Unknown:
I would be able to implement those conservative policies. So you think once your prime minister Yeah. I As a little girl, I think if I get prime minister, I'll be like Churchill, change the country. That's not how it works. Exactly. And what I discovered
[01:38:59] Unknown:
was that I was not holding the levers. The levers were held by the Bank of England, by the Office of Budget Responsibility.
[01:39:08] Unknown:
They weren't held by the prime minister or the chancellor. And I think that's a massive hold on. Hold on. That's a massive problem. Hang on. You're saying the Central Bank, the Bank of England is one of the things that controls are you a conspiracy theory person? You almost sound like Warren. You're you're MAGA. What what I'm saying, Steve,
[01:39:25] Unknown:
is that if the Bank of England governor can't be sacked and the prime minister can be sacked, then the Bank of England governor is gonna have more power than the prime minister. And that is a problem in a democracy.
[01:39:41] Unknown:
There you go. Well, he she makes a point. I understand her point, and I agree with her, of course. It's always been that way. But, she used the word democracy.
[01:39:50] Unknown:
Mhmm.
[01:39:51] Unknown:
That's a bandied about without people really stopping to consider what it means. And I said Algernon Sydney was a a captive of his times. He used the word republicanism. There's no difference between the two, by the way. There never was a difference among the Greeks that invented and brought those terms to the forefront of thinking. Republicanism and democracy are both species of majority rule. Both of them are dangerous. But when they were having that war in Britain to see who was gonna run who was gonna be sovereign, it got people in war, when they start murdering each other to that degree, killing each other, they run to the polls or whatever they can do, and it's an all out fight, and there are no holds barred, and everything goes.
And so they said, we're Republicans. We think that parliament, by majority rule, by its majority, should be sovereign and final in the country. And they said, no. The king is final. So this whole die idea of republicanism arose, and it's an unhappy term. I wish we didn't have it. It's even the word republic, not republicanism, but the republican form is in our constitution. I'm glad they were careful to say that, but we are not a republic. The USSR was a republic. You that's why it's called the republic, view of the USSR. China today calls itself a republic. North Korea calls itself a republic. When France went into their bloody, ugly revolution, they called themselves a republic, and indeed they were. We aren't.
Words are the tools of evil empire, and the best of us get clipped by them. Well, God spoke about
[01:41:24] Unknown:
God spoke the world into existence. They gotta mean something. It's gotta be some heavy mojo there. Well the definition when the communist used the word democracy, you know what the definition they're imputing there is, Brent? What? What? Lack of opposition to communism.
[01:41:41] Unknown:
Oh, of course. Yeah. And, the republic though is it's a majority principle. There is no majority principle in at the bottom of our common law tradition. But, Roger, I've talked so much. I could say so much. I said I'd let people in the areas ten minutes till. So Yeah. So we'll do that. Well, if anybody's got any comments or questions for Brent,
[01:42:03] Unknown:
we'd love to hear them and see, what you got on your mind. Roger. There's somebody right there. And I think that's Robin. Yes. Good morning.
[01:42:14] Unknown:
Yes, sir. Good morning. Well, Brent, if we're not a republic, can you tell us what the heaven we are?
[01:42:22] Unknown:
I'm glad you asked. And I know there are a lot of people saying that. We're a we're a our government is a common law government. There's no other way to say it. It's ultimately control. The final arbiter of right and wrong in our country, in our common law country, is the 12 man jury. Period. Nobody else is. You can't say Congress is. That'd be republicanism. Congress isn't final. Oh, yeah. Oh, the Supreme Court's final. No. They're not final either. Not the Supreme court can't make Congress do anything and vice versa. Well then the president's final. No, he's not final either. He can't make the Supreme court rule any certain way and he can't make Congress do anything. The truth is all three of them are constant. And I use the example, we say this constantly in our classes into a three way Mexican standoff.
That's common law government. None of them are final. The rest of the world can't understand that. The queen of France said to our president once, said, this was years ago, said, how do you rule? How do you rule unless you're not in charge? She wanted the president to interfere and tell the courts what to do because there was a Frenchman being tried here. And he said he wrote back to her and said, I can't do that. We don't I can't interfere with the courts. And she wrote back and said, what do you mean you can't interfere with the courts? Aren't you the president? He said, well, no. I I can't. And the jury trumps the president. The jury trumps whatever the court wants. The jury, 12, in individual instances, and there is no appeal, and then not a juryman is re obligated to say why he did what he did and ruled the way he did and gave the verdict he did. That's final, friends. According as long as our constitution says, as long as the jury is impaneled according to the course of the common law. In other words, they have to do things according to good order, the order that we have to make sure all things are done without bias and parley.
But that's final. In a republic, a pure republic, what's final? The majority vote of the legislature. That's republicanism friends. Do you want that in America? We played that clip when of Mel Gibson when they were fighting over whether South Carolina would leave the union or leave not leave the union, leave England. And And Mel Gibson said, why would I trade, speaking of King George the third, why would I trade one tyrant 3,000 miles away for 3,000 pirates one mile away? That's democracy. But in America, we found out having come out of the English revolution recently when our country started, they had this idea of republicanism and some of the states said, oh, we're finally free of England. We'll make the legislature sovereign in our state.
Well, they found out real quick that doesn't work. Three, 30 or 300 or 10 tyrants as a legislature is more oppressive than one tyrant as an emperor or king. They found that out. And I say that to you too. Recognize that the evil empire wants you to think republicanism is it. And the patriot community is stuck in this mythology, clearly stuck in it. And it is part of our historic baggage that we even have the word. But all of these things are Greek. They're out of the Greek world. Plato wrote the book. Remember well, maybe you don't remember. No. You you weren't there. I wasn't there. But Plato's most famous work is called The Republic. Mhmm. They Yes, sir. It's all about democracy. That's what it's about because they didn't distinguish the two. There was no distinct it was the majority rules. If congress has majority vote to to to crush me and my rights, That's not freedom, friend.
Back to you, Robert.
[01:46:11] Unknown:
I'll be out there. Got you. Who else has got something they'd like to talk about this morning with Brent? Myself, Paul, anybody? General comment makes no difference. I don't know if you're new, you're probably shy, but, we don't bite. Hi, Rod. There's somebody right there. I think that's Dave up in the thumb. It's Todd. I'm out of the hospital. Oh, hey, Tom.
[01:46:36] Unknown:
Yeah. It was horrible, but a pain pain you know, it's just funny. The other day, I was telling you about pain for your teeth. And the next day, it went through forty, sixty four hours of no sleep. I am in great shape. I was in excruciating pain. I I must have had a a sciatic nerve, a couple nerves that were underneath a disc that was shooting down my left leg and into my knee. Stand up and walk. And after thirty what was it? Forty eight hours, I submitted to having them come pick me up out of my bed in the for an ambulance, which I he said I would always have to have cut my arm off or my head off to bring me to the hospital, but I had to do it.
[01:47:15] Unknown:
So you're doing better. So much. Okay. Well, it's great to hear your voice. We we got the report that you're at the hospital. Have you I I yeah. I'm gonna have to ask Linda if she's got one of these, iTero wands
[01:47:30] Unknown:
and y'all don't live too far from each other. If she does, I'm gonna see tell me about that. I'm gonna I'm looking into that. If Linda has that too, she said it was about $450, but she showed me the wand I think you're talking about there. He said Right. Right. I think you
[01:47:45] Unknown:
I got a lot of feedback from the last couple days. Okay. Well, it's worth a try. It does particularly good on nerve stuff. So let's hope so. I have to take care of the hospital, and we're glad you're not having to deal with that pain. So,
[01:47:58] Unknown:
it's it's still there, but, I can't stop, my spiritual part of things. I do, get in all over. I can't let anything stop me. My mom is suffering. My family and all my friends are suffering, and I have and we have the antidote.
[01:48:15] Unknown:
You have the what?
[01:48:17] Unknown:
Antidote? We have the ad view.
[01:48:20] Unknown:
Oh, okay. Well, glad glad we can provide something here. Brent Todd is I wanted to ask a question. What about Kevin? Kevin, what's his name? Has anybody had a report on him? Has he resurfaced?
[01:48:36] Unknown:
I heard the last I heard from Jocko is and I kinda, you know, I take the best and leave the rest. But apparently, it's been said multiple times that he is in protection. He is alive, and he doesn't want anybody to actually bring it up or talk about it anymore. I think he wanted to explode what he worked on for a year and just had to bounce for a bit, or he wouldn't have been, probably,
[01:48:58] Unknown:
here to talk about it later. Well, I'm sure glad I got to do that interview with him in the little time he had resurfaced. Nice guy. Wish him the best, but I hope everything's alright with him. So, anyway, welcome back, Todd. Thank you. Love you all. Go ahead. Do you have any, do you have any comment for Brent or question or anything?
[01:49:19] Unknown:
No. I think Brent's amazing today. I I usually don't love Fridays, to be quite frank with you, but the more I get to know Brent and I did a little vetting and I'm about to order his book, I, have a new very good outlook. See, I don't I have to discern
[01:49:31] Unknown:
my own self through everybody, every entity, everything these days, because we don't know what's real and what's not. It's hard to do it's hard to decipher sometimes. That's very true. They are skilled at this illusion stuff they they play.
[01:49:46] Unknown:
They're just incredibly skilled at them. All of our money. We have unlimited money to do so through programming television. And I even then with my mom and my sister, they're they're trying their hardest to look into a few things I've been talking about, and they're getting different stuff that I would pull up on the Internet. They're getting, hey. Don't this guy's a conspiracy theorist, which is a oxymoron anyway. And, they tell him, you know, they bring him to the wrong site, and these people don't you know, they're not healthy enough. Their Panhandle Gland's not decalcified. They can't discern. They're, just living their regular life, not not feeling like they are enslaved at all. It's a very crazy situation.
[01:50:23] Unknown:
You've heard the Goethe quote. Have you ever heard me use the Goethe quote? You know who Goethe was?
[01:50:28] Unknown:
Todd? How you spell the word guy?
[01:50:30] Unknown:
G o e t h e. It's a really unusual, like, German spelling. He wrote a a an opera called Faust. Have you ever heard of Faust?
[01:50:38] Unknown:
No, sir.
[01:50:40] Unknown:
Faust is about an opera, actually, about a kid who'd cut a deal with the devil. And this is he was one of those German philosophers around Hegel's time and some of that. And Goethe's statement is, I think they took this as their as their goal here because it's exactly what's happened. Now note it's short. Note the adjectives, Todd. There are none so helplessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they're free. And, boy, that's where they've got us right there.
[01:51:16] Unknown:
Absolutely. Man, that's just that voluntary and involuntary servitude, sir. You wanna yeah. This stuff is crucial wording. You know? And, I'm trying to slowly get my family to watch okay. First, I don't want them to know about project Mockingbird. Why are they telling you I'm crazy? Okay? Yeah. Why do no lawyers, attorneys, bankers, insurance truth about what I'm doing? It's about the Benjamin's baby. Okay? And the control.
[01:51:44] Unknown:
Yep. Yep. And their their religious their religious background and training of that they're the master race and that they have the right only people that have souls and that they have the right to own and control everybody, and they're brought up in that crap and reinforce it in their in their religious activities. Yes. Who's the female right there? Raped,

They are masters of of of sin. I may be a good, good thing to do. Equity and our next energy. They don't know what to mean at the moment. You're they're getting you. I'm gonna tell you, they know us one hell of a lot better than we know them. And they put up this fall There there's about eight of them for every one of us almost. It's it's ridiculous. Anyway, let me get that. Glad you're back, Todd. We'll be Alright. Till then, guys. I told them all day I missed you guys so much, but I'm gonna pause. Well, I'm glad. Thank you. Here's the thing. I love you all. Right there. You're well, as we say down here. Yes, ma'am? Well, how can we help you?
[01:52:56] Unknown:
Yes. It's Cheryl. And, I wanted to let Brent know that god's divine divine justice still exists. On May 16, I was thrown into jail. I was an innocent woman. I was told because of questioning jurisdiction that I was, needed a competency hearing. I, I found out that there were some bishops going to Mount Zion with prayers from people in jail, and, they were gonna do the prayer in August. August happened to be with they were gonna revisit with me. So May to August, my prayer was heard. And when I got to court, I got divine justice. I had I the case is still open.
However, god brought me out.
[01:54:00] Unknown:
Okay. Sure. I thought you might be able to do that. Glad to glad to hear that for your sake and everybody's sake.
[01:54:07] Unknown:
That's gold. That divine justice. Yep. Prayers prayers.
[01:54:14] Unknown:
Yes. Brent's gonna answer you here. I think he's trying to get to you. You got a strong signal on your phone. Brent?
[01:54:22] Unknown:
What is that's a called a testimonial. Yes. Personal personal experience. Christianity is a personal experience. If it isn't personal, it's not Christianity. Yes. Thank thank you. Okay. That's good. I'm I'm happy to share them. Yes. Yes. Absolutely.
[01:54:38] Unknown:
Well, you know, but I I do pray. I I pray all the time. And, and I have to tell you, this has increased my prayer, because once the only thing I had in jail was a bible. And and I I had to ask for it. I read it three times. They came around with a tablet. I didn't really pay attention to it, but then I found out the tablet would read me the whole bible. So I got through the bible four times while I was in jail, and, I I have been remiss to not stay with the word of God on a daily basis. I now know that, but he still provided me divine justice, and it does exist.
[01:55:30] Unknown:
Well, you joined the ranks of people like you know, Paul the Apostle, when he went into a town, he never asked what the hotels were like. He always asked what the jails were like because he knew that's where he'd wind up. You know? And, yeah, we're laughing because it's true. And Yeah. Yeah. And and nobody nobody remembers the names of any jailers, but, boy, do we remember a lot of names of men that have been jailed. So you're you're in good company. Don't don't feel bad about it. I don't think you do. Yeah.
[01:55:58] Unknown:
Cool. Well, actually, I don't. It was it was very, it was very, enlightening though, because there wasn't one other, woman in my jail cell who would read the bible or would talk to me about the bible. And so they all made fun of me and harassed me and everything else. So so, you know, we're still being persecuted for believing in our our savior, Jesus Christ. And Yeah. I I feel very sad about that.
[01:56:33] Unknown:
Oh, no. Because
[01:56:36] Unknown:
we all know that he is it. He is you know? And and I learned a lot about the creator. Oh my gosh. What about the, incident in, what about the incident in Minneapolis
[01:56:48] Unknown:
this week? That didn't tell you, Chris. Do you know about that, Brent? You heard about the mass shooting up there in the Catholic church? No. What happened? You didn't hear that? Uh-uh. Another one of these transvestite guys Yeah. Came up. His mother was retired. Emmanuel Catholic Church, southern part of Minneapolis. In 08:30 in the morning, he's out there. You have an arsenal, of a AR 15 pistol, shotguns, all kinds of stuff. And, the doors has somebody had put a two by four in both of the handles. It may have been him, may have been somebody else. Anyway, he started firing through the windows, and he killed it was the first mass, first day of school.
He killed an eight or a 10 year old, killed a couple of kids, shot himself, had all kinds of stuff written on his guns. And and this is substantial, though. What happened was through some of these FBI defectors Mhmm. They've still got connections to the FBI, and they got the guy's name and all that to Kyle Sarafin's name within a few minutes after the shooting. Yet the Minneapolis police hours later up there saying we don't know who the guy is, this, that, and the other. So people were able to get unleashed and go get all of this stuff downloaded off the Internet before they grabbed it.
Now they can't control the the story. Mhmm. And then and now we know the whole story. So, anyway, yeah, that was, day before yesterday. Yesterday, something just

And and just he's got this one forty minute video where he's drooling over his arsenal. Forty minutes. Like, with those voices. And he's got stuff written all over him, and, it's just pure ass satanic, man.

No. What will solve something is you, my friend, you bringing order to your life through the order by the order of the God of all orders, and he's given us two volumes, and there isn't anything else. If you're going anywhere else to find out what God's order is, you're going to some church leader, or you're going to your horoscope, or you're reading some book about some self proclaimed prophet

The the head of lunch is you know, it's it's we were founded by pirates. We're still run by pirates. That's all I can say. There you go, George. But So but I've got two things. I saw a little flyer a couple days ago.
[02:06:03] Unknown:
Oh, where's the And it says back we got a background conversation, I think. Yeah. I think that's Wahid. Can you mute Waheed, please? No. It's Bruce. It's Bruce. Bruce. Bruce. Get that meter on. Okay. Go ahead, Dwayne.
[02:06:21] Unknown:
Okay. So just two things. I said, I saw a flyer recently. It says we have nearly 100,000 pages in our law books today because we can't follow 10 laws on stone tablets. Oh. I thought that was pretty cool. That's good. I like that. And then yeah. I did too, so that's why I kept it. I'm a I was thinking about making a flyer on it myself or maybe even a T shirt. But, the other thing is is at several years ago, I, ran across some contractors that were absolutely reaming a home you know, mom and her daughter on construction work.
And I when I realized what they were doing, I started setting them up to for this for the family to take these to take these men to court. And they did, and they ended up winning, but I had to go testify. And when the judge had asked to have me sworn in, she gets her clerk or whomever to swear me in, and she says, do you swear to you know, put the Bible there. And I looked at the judge, and I said, do you want me to swear on the book that tells me not to swear? And she looked at me and just then she looked at me and says, he sworn in. That's because she had me say even though I didn't you know, I've never said anything. So the whole court looked at me like, oh my god. What is this? But it's true. I'm like, you know, nobody could argue the point. So, anyway Right. I thought that was let your yays be yays. Proud for standing up to that. Yeah. Your yays be yays. Your nays be yays, I believe it says, Dwayne.
[02:07:57] Unknown:
So good to see you back soon. Absolutely.
[02:08:00] Unknown:
So Uh-huh. Alright. Alright. Well, that's all I got today. Thank you, Dwayne. Brent. Y'all had a good I like the show today.
[02:08:06] Unknown:
God. I love those Louisiana accents, Brent. Yeah. Whoo.
[02:08:11] Unknown:
Hell yeah. Makes me wanna go eat a crawfish or something.
[02:08:18] Unknown:
So what anybody else got something for either one of us? Boy, that's rare. That's rare. Makes me feel like I'm Brent, I know you're busy. You're a busy guy. You may would stick around and answer those questions. If there's no questions, I'm a let you and me go. Alright. Thanks, Roger,
[02:08:36] Unknown:
and lord willing, we'll see you all next week. Alright. Benny will always Join us join us on Saturday and Sunday Yeah. Through the website commonlawyer.com.
[02:08:44] Unknown:
Thanks, Roger. Bye. Have a, productive week, Brent. You too. See you soon. Alright.
[02:08:49] Unknown:
Alright, pal. See you, Paul.
[02:08:52] Unknown:
Yeah.
[02:08:53] Unknown:
Hey, Brent. This is Chris from California. Yeah, Chris. I just I just want I just wanted to thank, Brent for that, challenge to listen to, first John seven times and then also the gospel of John seven times. Just wanna let him know I'm doing it and I'm enjoying it.
[02:09:16] Unknown:
Oh, good. Boy, that's encouraging to me that you're doing it. But I I'm glad you're doing it seven time I'm glad you're doing it seven times. You're listening to the audio. Is that what you're saying?
[02:09:26] Unknown:
Yes. Yes. It's a it's a it's a see, it's a program you can get on, it's on Google. You just it's wordproject.org.
[02:09:36] Unknown:
Oh, but the original admonition and but I this is good too, was to read the book of first John every morning, thirty days in a row. But anything you do is good. Yeah. Anything you do but listening 30 times would be just as good. The Bible says faith comes by hearing. Yeah. You read it? Yes. Okay. The best would be to read along with it as you're listening and stop and consider when you and want to stop, you can. But, yeah, you you you're if you're like me, and I think you're saying this, every time you go through it, you just can't believe your what you're seeing and hearing and putting things together.
[02:10:16] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No. I I read I read it too without any aids. I read it also. But, sometimes
[02:10:23] Unknown:
I listen to it as well. What translation do you use? King James Version. Uh-huh. That's a beautiful one. Alright. Well, thank that's encouraging. And, encourage other people to do the same thing. Start with John. Start with John because John is the touchstone. Why do I say that? Is is the are the writings of John more important than the rest of the Bible? No. They're not more important, but they are black and white. In other words, John never speaks in ambiguous terms that you can't you can't that would drive you into a gray area in the weakness of your human mind. He's just bang, bang, bang, and you you notice that too, don't you, in first John, for example?
Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. That and so then all the other writings where things may seem a little ambiguous to you, just measure them against what you know about first John, for example. That's the point of reading first John first. His vocabulary is simple. He's not an educated man, but he was with the Lord Jesus Christ for three long years. And he was of all of them, he was the he was appointed as it were the the, foreman of the 12 man jury that Jesus Christ empaneled to witness the evidence of his identity, and he was with him. And so, and he was the only one that wasn't murdered for his verdict, by the way.
So his writings are important. Yeah. He's speaking for the whole jury when he speaks. Thank you for bringing that up. Appreciate you.
[02:11:47] Unknown:
What what I noticed when I when I when I read John or listen to John is I I'm right there with them.
[02:11:55] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. It's really amazing. He has that he has that the spirit of his words that drives his words come through. You know, he never he never used his own name. He never says, well, I, John, did this, that. He always says, the disciple whom Jesus loved, comma, and then he'll he always identifies himself as the disciple who who Jesus loved,
[02:12:17] Unknown:
whom Jesus loved. Yeah. It's yeah. So rich. It really is. It's so rich.
[02:12:22] Unknown:
Well, again, thank you. And I hope of what you've said. Of course, I think it will encourage other people to do the same thing. Starting with John. Brent's no John. Yes. Somebody said Brent. I'm looking I'm looking forward to starting the trust class. Oh, good. Well, we'll look forward to talking to you again then. Thanks.
[02:12:42] Unknown:
Okay.
[02:12:43] Unknown:
Yes. Brent, back to the re back to the Republic, was it Ben Franklin that's or someone that said, you have a republic if you can keep it? I mean, why did why is there so much talk about republic if we're not a republic?
[02:13:02] Unknown:
Well, first, before we go to the reasons why, I think it's important to recognize that we aren't. If you can't see that, there's no reason to go to the reasons why. We aren't. I know some people say, well, that doesn't make sense. But no, no, we aren't. Republicanism is majority rule. That's what it is. So is democracy. Republicanism stresses the majority rule of a legislature that is sovereign. And people somehow like that idea, but it's very dangerous. Did did, Franklin say that? And the answer is, well, from all the evidence I can gather, and I've looked into it, yes, he did say that. But that doesn't mean that Ben Franklin is God. As a matter of fact, Ben Franklin was anything but Godly. He was from a Puritan family, the tenth of nine children. He had Puritan sensibilities, but he himself rejected rejected fundamental truth. And he was a sex pervert. I don't say that lightly.
Just go read the story of his life. Did he say a lot of things that were very important? Did God use him? Yes. He did. When I say he was a sex pervert, what do I mean? I mean, that guy just loved girls. He loved to go to the hoot shows and he loved to hang around with the horse. That's what And he did for years in, in France. That's what the evidence tells us. Does that mean God can't use him or did No, it doesn't mean that at all. Does it mean he's a final word on anything? No. It doesn't mean that at all. And when he said the Republican if you a Republic, if you can keep it, remember, Ben Franklin was a captive of his times.
And republicanism, as they called it, arose out of the English Revolution when men were slaughtering each other in England by the hundreds of thousands. Well, actually, I guess the best number is about a 100,000. 80 to a 100,000 Englishmen slaughtered each other, but that's a lot of Englishmen to slaughter each other in a country of only about, oh, four to 5,000,000 people. That's a lot of men to slaughter each other. But when you get to that point, it becomes do or die who's in charge. And they said, the king said, I'm in charge. And parliament said, no, we're in charge and we're sovereign. And, we came out of that revolution. The people that populated America were of two groups of people from England in the early days. Those that were on the side of parliament settled New England primarily, and those that were on the side of the King settled Virginia.
And there we have the beginning of the rift between the North and the South. George Washington's grandfather migrated to Virginia because he didn't want to get his head chopped off by parliament. As soon as parliament got into office, they started doing in spades the very thing that the king had been doing to them. That's what, that's the way the ugliness of politics is. And that's why we say, no, no, that's Republicanism. That was a good step. And that's what forced the settling of America. But we said to America, now wait a minute. We've got the balance of this thing. We want common law government. We want a government where nobody's in charge. We don't want republicanism. We do want a republican form. We want a republican branch of government. We call the Congress, the legislative branch, but they're not in charge.
No. No. They just have limited power, and, they're limited by the other two branches of government trying to do what they do, and they're fighting all the time. That's what we want. We want them fighting all the time so they'll leave us alone. That's what Madison said, called the framer of our constitution. He said we want them intention constantly intention fighting so they'll leave us alone.
[02:16:33] Unknown:
Pitting the Thank you, Brent. And Yeah. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Thank you thank you thank you so much. Didn't they find a bunch of, bodies buried in Franklin's house in Philadelphia?
[02:16:47] Unknown:
I had read that too, and I think they did in France. He listen. All these fellows, we don't worship these fellows. Man, you read the story like Gubiner Morris, one of the signers of our founding documents, that guy had a wooden leg. Why did he have a wooden leg? Well, he said he was in a carriage accident, but what he what he didn't say, but everybody knew he was in a carriage accident because he got caught in bed with another man's wife. He jumped out the window, and he tried to get in the the carriage, and the driver was driving away and going so fast that the carriage had a terrible accident and crushed his leg. That's what really happened. Listen, these fellows, just like the fellows that wrote the Bibles, were angels.
As James Madison said, there are no angels among men. That's why we have common law government. We don't let anybody say they're finally in charge. We don't do that, except a 12 man jury, and that's only in individual instances, and there's no one of them in charge, and there's no majority to it. It's all or nothing. 12 or nothing. That's what God said, and that's why he impaneled the 12 man jury to witness the evidence of the identity of Jesus Christ, the most important and and, controlling verdict any jury ever delivered. It was so important, and it was such a controversial thing that, as I said, 12 of them were murdered for their verdict, but they didn't change their verdict.
One of them, the foreman as it were, died in chains in slave labor in a salt mine on the Isle Of Patmos off the coast of Asia Minor, and that's where he wrote the book or pinned, I should say, the book of Revelation, the book called Revelation, the last of John's writings, the last word of the Bible. Well, thank you for the question, and I hope that what I said, made sense. I'm trying to make it make sense. Well, I'm gonna if there are no other Thank you so much.
[02:18:46] Unknown:
Thank you so much, Brent. But but, and and I agree with you. However but we're not living that way today. Our government doesn't operate that way today. What what can we do? Is there any solution to making things as they were supposed to be?
[02:19:05] Unknown:
Yeah. There is. And it's a powerful solution, the most powerful solution. It's for you to order your life as God tells you to order it. You, individually. God uses individuals, he doesn't use massive men, governments aren't final, governments are not the answer, been there, done that, it's vicious, it's ugly. Common law government is a reflection. Listen to me, I'm not talking to you alone, ma'am. I'm just saying everybody. It has been said and rightly said, and I can see it clearly by men much smarter than me. You should they've said you show me the government of the fundamental religious institutions of a country, and I will show you the fundamental government of that country.
Let me repeat that. You show me the form of government of the fundamental religious institution of a country, and I will show you the government of that country. That's why Mexico and all South America are in tyranny. They're heavily, intensely Roman Catholic. Roman Catholic at the in the religious institutions love a dictator. He's called he's not called the imperial pope of Rome for nothing. He is imperial. His word is final. He speaks ex cathedra. He can't make a mistake when his buttocks is planted, he says, on that throne in the old Lateran Palace of the Roman Empire. That's madness.
Who was it? Acton, lord Acton, lord Lord, Emerick Acton, Dalberg Emerick Acton. He said power corrupts, an absolute power corrupts absolutely. What was he talking about? What's the context of that statement? He's talking about the pope of Rome, and he himself was a Romanist to the hilt. And when the pope of Rome came out officially and said the doctrine of ex cathedra is true, When I'm sitting in that chair at the Lateran Palace, I am that chair preserves me from speaking error. And Lord Acton said, that's madness. I'll give you the rest of the quote if I can remember it. I think he the content he that was the context and he said, there is no doctrine among men so monstrous as the doctrine that says the office sanctifies the man.
He's speaking to the Pope of Rome. Let's let's apply that. There is no doctrine so monstrous that says that the office sanctifies the man, that the badge sanctifies the policeman, and now he can do what he wants. He's always right. There is no doctrine that says that the US marshal's office sanctifies him from doing wrong, and he can't be sued. Or a judge sanctifies him, and he can't be sued. Acton said that of the pope of Rome. He said, that's a monstrous doctrine. That's madness. And then he said, the problem here is power that is absolute corrupts absolutely. Now here's the error in what he said.
He was a Romanist, he was a Romanist, so he believed that man is not is not depraved at conception. The Bible says man is depraved at conception, He's born into this with this propensity of evil. Notice Acton didn't say that, he was a very precise man, he said power corrupts. Well I get his point about the pope of Rome, but power never corrupted anybody. No no no. Man is corrupt. Man's problem is who he is. He's corrupt. He is not corruptible. He is corrupt. And the power then exacerbates, excites the corruption, and it gets out of hand. That's why James Madison that's why James Madison said that if men were angels we wouldn't need any law, but they ain't.
And men in government aren't angels. That's why we have the constitution for us to say, no, no, no, no, no. You ain't God. No, no. Your power is getting under your skin, and you're thinking you're King Kong. We gave you a fur coat and now you think you're King Kong. You ain't King Kong. You've got your clothed with this, government office. That doesn't sanctify you and make you different or special. No. Come back down to earth, mister congressman, mister president, mister who judge, whoever you are. Not only are you corrupt like me, not only were you born and conceived, as the Bible says, in sin, But now that you've got power, you're more dangerous than I am. So I'm gonna slap you down if I can, give me half a chance, I'll say it for sure. If I can't do it, I'm gonna say no, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong. And fortunately in our common law tradition, we can do that, and we do it. It's called freedom of speech.
Freedom of speech. And the most important places that exist in our common law tradition are in the courts where we have dissenting opinions. We can make our case, and in the pulpit. Our common law is a Christian tradition. Men in the pulpit, if there's no freedom of speech in the pulpit and the courts, there is no freedom of speech anywhere. Just recently, when the policy of this administration and in the presidency, now men in the pulpit can feel free to endorse political candidates to say what they want about homosexuality, to say what they want about sodomy, about banking, whatever they believe is biblical, about usury.
That's in the Bible. That's in Magna Carta. We are not hampered in our freedoms. They can't take our freedoms away from us. Our freedoms, as our declaration of 76 says, are inextricably bound up with God's creation of us. But they certainly can hamper and hinder our enjoyment of those freedoms. Make that distinction friends, make that distinction. Roger of course talks about being a national versus being a citizen. I do too. You're a citizen your nationality that you're a national can't be taken from you, but government can hamper your enjoyment of it, and that's why it's important to say who you are.
Government doesn't get to decide who you are. Your identity is of God, and no one can change it. No one can change it, but it's important that we say the truth. And he Roger says file an affidavit. Those kinds of things. By the way, that's a species of freedom of speech. It's freedom to say what you want in writing. Specifically, the First Amendment says freedom of petition, a piece of paper saying what you think ought to be said. Well, thanks for bringing those things up. You know, somebody who is it? Who's talking?
[02:26:26] Unknown:
This is Larry. Have you filed an affidavit?
[02:26:30] Unknown:
If I did, I would not say so. If I didn't, I wouldn't say so. I don't say. I don't say. I have a question for Brent. That's called freedom of silence, which is the flip side of the same coin of freedom of speech. The responsibility to speak or not to speak, whatever I think God wants me to do. Somebody has another comment. Go ahead.
[02:26:58] Unknown:
Hi, Brent. It's Rick. Have you ever read, the portion of the letter that Jefferson wrote Washington when he was arguing with Hamilton about the establishment of a national bank?
[02:27:14] Unknown:
No. I don't know that I have, but go ahead.
[02:27:18] Unknown:
Okay. Well, he's he list seven or eight things here. I just wanna get your well, it's just something to think about because you could I know you could go on a long time about this, but, he was against Jefferson was against the formation of the national bank. And he said what it did is it violated seven or eight laws. First, was to form the subscribers into a corporation. Two, to enable them in their corporate capacities to receive grants of land and so far is against the laws of Mortmain, three, to make alien subscribers capable of holding lands and so far is against the laws of alienage, To transmit those lands on the death of a proprietor to a certain line of a successors and so far changes, of course, of dissents.
To put the lands out of reach of forfeiture or a sheet and so far is against the laws of forfeiture and a sheet, to transmit personal chattels to successors in a certain line, and so far is against the laws of distribution, and to give them sole exclusive right of banking under the national authority and so far is against the laws of monopoly. And I'm thinking he's talk these are like, common law principles.
[02:28:38] Unknown:
Yeah. They are. Yes. Well, for example, the thing about monopoly, he takes that from from, Edward Coke's, Edward Coke's commentary on, Magna Carta. Monopolies are against the common law, but and monopolies can only exist by force of government. There is no other way to maintain a monopoly. But, would you do me a favor and take those seven points and go to the website commonlawyer.com and send them in the email. Go to the contact button button and send those in the email if you would do that.
[02:29:13] Unknown:
I'll give it a shot. I may have to have Paul's help in cutting this out of the the doc the main body. It's it's pretty long document.
[02:29:20] Unknown:
Well, you you you got well, I asked Paul how to do it if you do that. But notice, just make an observation. Most everything he says there relates back to land. You notice that? Back to land. And Jefferson was all about, land because this is the law of the land. The land is fundamental to the trust settlement that God has established with his people. Having divided the lands among the tribes, tongues, and nations, as he said, and distributed it, That's God's doing. And he has entrusted it to us and in our whole country and smaller parcels and individuals.
And he makes the point that aliens, which, corporations fit into that a lot, are not allowed to own land. That's against our Alienage Act, and that's that's, proper that people who are not what we call citizen citizens of The United States nationals should not the law should preclude preclude them from owning land. Why? Because once people that are not, Americans, nationals, have control of land, they'll take over the country. It's that simple. And that's always been part of our common law. Even the mining law of 1872, something I'm familiar with from my law practice, doesn't allow anybody from another country that's not a national or has intention of being a national and becoming one, is not allowed to have mineral rights, to take up mineral rights rights on a mining plane. Well, that's normal, and that's the way it's been in England also. And it ought to be that way. Here, look, if you wanna own land here, great.
But corporations aren't allowed, by the way, to claim up land for mineral rights under the mining law of 1872. Why? You have to be a hot blooded person, a real live man to do that. And once a corp you can sell it to a corporation, but the corporation is not to be foreign, see, but that's what we're doing. Matter of fact, a lot of the land, the mineral rights in America are owned by China now. China. We can't maintain sovereignty doing that friends. And China means what? The Chinese government. That's even worse. Who are we kidding? Yeah. I think, DJ Trump's on the right track.
He's right headed. You may not agree with everything he does. Nobody's gonna do that, but he's right headed. Right headed. He's going down the right road. He's got his nose pointed in the right direction. Let's get behind him and see what we can get done while he's in office and hope somebody else follows him that's just as strong. Thanks for bringing that up. Brent, Phil Yeah. Man.
[02:31:54] Unknown:
Gonna do one follow-up. I'm gonna he also said that when they form, when they form the bank, it Congress took on power that was not granted to them under the constitution and formed a separate government, and that was in 1791. That's right. But I'll see if I can get Paul to help me cut this stuff out and send it to you. Okay. Thank you. I don't mean to keep it. No. You did well. I'm glad to bring that up. Hi. Go ahead. Rick, you can you can copy and paste that if you know how to copy and paste just that part.
[02:32:26] Unknown:
But, Brent, I just had one more question regarding the Catholic church that you mentioned. They revere the pope and and make him the final arbiter, whatever. But the point is they seem to worship Mary above all else. Has that always been in Catholicism, or is that something new?
[02:32:50] Unknown:
No. The the worship of the Madonna, that's not that word's not in the Bible either. That's a Babylonian concept. It comes from Babylon, and Babylon is and god the the devil is clever more than we give him credit. You can't whoop him. God can Christ is the whooper of the devil, and he brings us into war as his people. He is our protector and our savior. He wants us to follow his orders. But back in Babylon, Nimrod was the world's first emperor. And, he organized things, and he became that he had instituted there in in, what we would call, counterfeit of what the devil himself knew was coming because God told him in Genesis chapter three verse 15.
In the history of the church, it's called the protoangelium, the first mention of the gospel. And revealed there, what he was gonna do, the seed of the woman would be used to produce the Messiah. And, there's a lot more to that than I talk about here, but he knew that much, and so he began to counterfeit what's called the mother child cult. And Nimrod was worshipped with his mother, and there of course had images and idols of him sitting on it in his mother's lap just like the Madonna's you see of Mary and the Christ child. Now here's the the ugly twist to Satan's masterpiece called Rome.
It bears the Christian label. It uses the real Mary, but it diverts the worship as though Jesus Christ must share that with his mother, and his mother becomes the gatekeeper to him. Jesus Christ said no. No. No. She's not the co redemptress as Rome says, the co mediator as Rome said. No. He won't Jesus Christ won't play second fiddle to nobody by sharing any of his glory with anybody. He took care of his mother. Of course, he respected his mother while he was nailed to a post, naked. He even made provision to another man that he would take care of his mother for him, because he was about to go into another another mode there of death and resurrection and then leave.
And so he made provision that his mother would be taken care of. But worship of his mother, if there was ever a time that Jesus Christ had opportunity to establish the worship, and when I say worship, I mean worthieship, I mean to say that Mary has a is a co redemptress and the co mediator with him. He had every opportunity to do that when they came to him in the gospel records and said in the he was in the press of a crowd, people couldn't get to him, And one of his disciples his disciples said to him, your mother's outside. She wants to talk to you. Because she couldn't get close to him for all the people. And Jesus Christ said, go read it. He said, who is my mother?
And, he looked around all the people that were were with him, and he said, these are my mother and my brethren. There was his opportunity. And then the women said to him, blessed are the paps, that means the nipples, that gave you suck. Paps are the old King James. He said, no. Blessed are you. If there was ever an opportunity for him to say the doctrine of Mary olive tree and spell it out a little bit or a lot, he never did. So I don't either. And when the Bible says So this is the fifth place. Bible when the Bible when the Bible says there's one mediator between God and man, that's exclusive, and that is the man Christ Jesus.
That's it. That's yours. Mother Mary is
[02:37:13] Unknown:
is is mentioned only as his mother. He does there is no worship required of her. The Catholic church, has I has I I believe has Satan behind it. Just based on everything that I've read, and I also grew up as a Catholic. And everything I read, you know, there is no pope in the Bible. How can he call himself the vicar of Christ? Christ didn't create a vicar. There is nothing in the Bible about a pope. There's nothing in the Bible. The, praising Mary. The the the prayer to Mary is not in the Bible.
[02:38:01] Unknown:
No. I was just wondering if Mary had always been prominent, this prominent in Catholicism
[02:38:10] Unknown:
throughout history. I I just wanted to know that specifically, but thank you so much. Well, thanks. Hey. Hey. Thank you. To, I Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. I'm gonna say something. I appreciate all your comments. Thanks, buddy. That's alright. Thank you. The word Catholic, that's a misnomer too, and I don't use it for that reason except to talk about myself. I'm part of the Catholic church. That's the Latin word for the whole church of Jesus Christ. It just means universal. Roman Catholic is a contradicting term. They aren't the Catholic church. They want everybody and have done a good job promoting the ideas of using the word Catholic for them.
That's a lie. They're not. They are not the church. You read the old creeds of the reformation. The reformers said the holy Catholic church. They were talking about people that really believe the word of God. That's what they were talking about. Catholic. So I I agree people don't use that. Just say Roman church, Romanist. He's not a Catholic, he's a Romanist. There's a big difference. Everything's about Rome. Everything is about the law of the city, the city of Rome, the city religion of Rome. That's not in the Bible, all those things. None of those trappings, the costumes they wear, the vicar of Christ, translate the vicar of play Christ, that's Latin.
Vicar of Christ translates into the Greek New Testament, or it translates the Greek New Testament word Antichristos. We say in English Antichrist. That's Vicar of Christ. That's what that is. It means in place of Christ. So there's much more to be said about that. Don't focus on that all the time. I just make the point. Get away from it. Go to the word of God. That's final. The final court of last resort is got what God said, not what any mere mortal has said, And go to that. Spend your time with that. And people somebody said to me recently, well, it was a couple of weeks ago. They said, well, I'm Lutheran, and it hurts my feelings that you talk about the Lutheran church the way you do. And I'm thinking, well, someplace back in my history, my ancestors were Romanist.
I don't know exactly where, but, I mean, they had to have been. If I'm from my ancestors are from Europe, that didn't mean I have to wallow in that stuff and go back and worship my ancestors. My parents and my grandparents believe things that I don't believe because I think I've got the Bible on some of those points different. I'm not against them. I think they were right headed. No, we have disagreements about the Bible, but it's up to us to take the Bible and say, okay, here's what I've concluded it has to say, and I'll answer for it. I'd better figure it out because it's gonna drive what I do. I'm gonna answer to the Lord Jesus Christ, the maker of heaven and earth he is, the Bible says. The he's a God, God himself reduced to the span of a man that exists simultaneously in three persons. Try to explain that one. That's not illogical, and that's not a contradiction, but it is something we can't explain to our satisfaction of logic.
That's true. There's no contradiction in it. But Jesus Christ, it is kinda it's fascinating how God set this up. There is one mediator between God and man, and that is the man I'm quoting the Bible in the book of Hebrews. That is the man, Christ Jesus. Okay. We got this man that is between me and God. But at the same time, he's a man like me. He's like me. He's born of woman like me. He's a descendant of Adam like me, but at the same time, he's fully God. So he understands God the father. He is his son. He is the judge of me.
He will dictate my eternal destiny, but yet he understands he stands in the middle and understands both of us because Jesus Christ is where God and mankind meet in one person. And it makes sense therefore that in him is where I can meet God the father. Jesus Christ said, you have seen me, you have seen the father. You can't make this stuff up. No man could have fashioned such a plan. It's beyond comprehension that anybody could have done it, but he did it. God, the godhead did it, and I am the recipient of his benefits as beneficiary of his trust of land. The land of the Lord our God, the Lord our God, Jesus Christ of the Godhead has divvied up to us.
Well, I appreciate all the comments. I refer you. You can hear me talk now the cows come home. I never say anything new ever say anything new. I just keep saying the same things over and over and over in different context, in different ways, in different people. I'm not that smart. I see it all comes back to one thing. Jesus Christ himself, all things are of him through him and come back to him, says the book of Revelation. That's John writing. So, you can go listen to me, on the radio and go to church with us. We want you to do that. Yes. Some man said my name. Go ahead.
[02:43:15] Unknown:
Yeah. If I could just change gears, and if you could answer three quick questions regarding the act of 1871. This is Larry. Did the act of 1871 form a separate form of government called the District of Columbia, which consequently formed the corporation known as The United States? That's question one.
[02:43:36] Unknown:
Question two is is this Stop. Stop. Stop. I gotta do it one more time, Larry, or I'll forget I'll forget the question. Sure. Sure. Okay. I'll try to give you a straight straightforward question. No. The act of 1871 did not establish the government of the District of Columbia. The constitution of The United States did that already. Next question.
[02:44:00] Unknown:
Okay. Is this corporation owned by foreign interests, namely Britain?
[02:44:05] Unknown:
There is no corporation as you apparently or as that as you're reading apparently understands it. A government cannot incorporate itself. Corporation is an act of a sovereign above whoever or whatever is incorporated. The government of the United States has no authority to incorporate anything. If it had that authority it'd be in the constitution, it's not there. That was one of the great arguments back in the 1930s when Roosevelt wanted to use the government to incorporate things. State governments have power of incorporation of things, but our national government has not that authority.
The militiamen, the people of The United States never gave it to them through that document called the constitution of The United States, so it's not there. And any any government, if our government says they've done that and they've said that about some things, not of themselves that I know of, then it's it's fraud and it's not true anyway. Don't pay any attention to it as little as possible. That's the answer to the second question is isn't it? So what's the answer? What's the third question?
[02:45:13] Unknown:
Third question is by passing the 1871 act, did the forty first congress create a new constitution for the government of the District of Columbia? And that all comes down to where they changed the word for to of. It was originally the constitution for The United States Of America, and then under this act, I think they inserted the word of and got rid of America.
[02:45:41] Unknown:
And the answer the answer is no. Let me ask you a question just to see what you'd say. Is the Constitution of The United States for The United States? Yes. Yes. Is the constitution of The United States ablative of source from or of of The United States?
[02:46:11] Unknown:
I guess, yes.
[02:46:12] Unknown:
Yes. It is. Our constitution is from the militiamen of The United States, the people, right in the preamble. It says that. They're the ones that ratified it, and they're the ones that put it in place. So it's of The United States. So who is it for? It's for the United States government, and it's for our benefit because it limits government. And that's what it said, and of course we have other people said this beside Lincoln, John Wycliffe said this in the flyleaf of his Bible, the first time anybody translated the Bible into English, he said that the government, he wrote this with his own hand, that the government of the people, by the people, that's the militiamen, and for the people shall not perish from the earth. Another fellow, and he got that by the way from an ancient, a state legislature picked up that phrase and used it. Lincoln, and this is on the testimony of Lincoln's law partner Herndon, who saw the little booklet that a state legislator had a speech he had made had said that, and Lincoln underlined it and used it in the or in the Gettysburg address that the government of the people, that means from the people, the militia, for the people, there it is again, shall not perish from the earth and by the people, Lincoln adds that. But if the government is not from the people, it will not be for the people.
It has to be from the people to be for the people. Deuteronomy says the same thing. Don't put anybody in office to fill these offices he was talking about that are not Israelites, that are not nationals, that are not of your country. Because if you do, they won't be for you. They'll be for somebody else. That's why we won't don't want a president in office who is not a natural born citizen. So it does it I'd ask this question, no to the first two, and then last one, no that No to no that. But even if it were true, it wouldn't make any difference. It still means the same thing. Still means the same thing.
And to say anything else is pandemic silliness. But as I say, I don't believe any of that happened anyway. I I have it on good evidence it didn't happen, and, that's patriot mythology, all of it. That's my position.
[02:48:27] Unknown:
Right? Yeah. Alright. Thank you.
[02:48:29] Unknown:
Go ahead. Hey, Brett. Yeah.
[02:48:32] Unknown:
Hi. Hi. Forty first congress session three, chapter sixty one sixty two eighteen seventy one. Be it enacted by the senate and house of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assemble that all that all that part of the territory of The United States included within the limits of the District Columbia b and the same is hereby created into a government by the name of the District of Columbia by which name it is hereby constituted a body corporate for municipal purposes and may contract and be contracted with sue and be sued, plead and be impleted, have a seal and exercise all other powers of a municipal corporation not inconsistent with the constitution and laws of The United States and the provisions of this act.
On the side, it says District of Columbia constituted
[02:49:32] Unknown:
Okay. Okay. Okay. I get it. I get it. I get it. Let me ask you a question. Is any of that that they claimed to have done inconsistent with the Constitution of The United States?
[02:49:47] Unknown:
I think that they just changed the constitution of The United States. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. I answer answer my question. Yes or no, please.
[02:49:55] Unknown:
Is any of that what you read which you read inconsistent with the constitution of The United States? Yes. Yes. Well, then it's void. End of discussion. That's easy. And by the way by the way, all governments to pursue and be sued, the courts have always viewed them as some kind of a corporate entity, otherwise you couldn't sue them or be sued. For the purposes of court, governments are viewed as corpuses. That doesn't mean anybody incorporated them, that's just something we do, state governments, national government, county government, city government. You sue the state of Indiana, you sue the state of Indiana. There's no particular person, but for purposes of lawsuits, that's what you do. Just because watch me again, I say, do you really are you really gonna believe that anything Congress says is true just because they said it?
Look at these people. Look at what they've done to us, and you're gonna accept that. You may have to under force or threat of force, but let's get serious. Their their word isn't final. Legislation isn't final, and a lot of it's unconstitutional clearly. Clearly. And it what I could construe everything you read there to be consistent with the constitution. I can say, oh, I see what they're saying. Well, what they're doing is recognizing what the constitution says. Is there a government in the District of Columbia? Yes. Our constitution established that and gave Congress that governmental authority over the District of Columbia.
Is all land and territory of The United States. And by the way, that excludes the states. The territories of The United States are under the exclusive jurisdiction. Guam, Puerto Rico, used to be everything West Of The Mississippi, used to be before that, the Northwest Territories, Illinois, Indiana, parts of Virginia, that all belong to the general government of Washington DC, and they had the responsibility of governing that. They had the responsibility to govern what we call the Indian territory of Oklahoma and the Colorado and New Mexico.
Yes. They established that government. If the Congress wants to pass a law and says, we established that there's a government in these territories called the United States government. That is true. That has always been true. There never was a time in our country when that wasn't true. So just it's just a lot of a lot of, noise over nothing. Oh, how did Shakespeare put it? Weeping and gnashing of teeth, and then trying to give it credence. And the more we talk about it, the more credence it gives, the more distracted people are. Patriots are off talking about that and losing their freedoms. It's meaningless, my friends.
That's what I'm saying to you. And it's all up for interpretation of the courts. Have the courts interpreted it wrongly in individual instances? Well, you'd have to go examine them at all examine them all. I could take, again, everything you said there and say, well, I can put a construction on that within the ambient of the words and phrases that is that says it's constitutional. So it's a distraction, very much of a distraction.
[02:53:03] Unknown:
May I
[02:53:04] Unknown:
ask? Yeah. Somebody well, now late wait. The lady talked first. Was this the same lady that her I heard your voice first. This the same lady that was talking a while ago? Who is it? Yes, sir. Yes. Yes. It is. Oh, well, go ahead. Thank you. I'll give you one more real quick, and then I'll go to the next
[02:53:24] Unknown:
Just just very quickly, be it enacted, it supposedly creates law. And, what do you say about the USC code? The United States code, what how do you what how do you interpret USC?
[02:53:40] Unknown:
United States code, and remember all of us up and every and every challenge is up before the courts for possible possibly striking it down, and some of it has been struck down. Some of it has been applied in ways that it appears that didn't have much to do with what Congress said. Remember, there are three branches of government. Nobody's final. I've I've tried to stress that all day. I'll stress it still. None of those three branches are final, and none of them tell each other what to do. None of them. If the other branch doesn't wanna go along with them, they don't have to. That's our common law government. That's not republicanism, friends. That's common law government.
Three separate and coequal branches of government. Thank you for bringing that up. It'll give me an opportunity, and I appreciate you saying that. Who's next? Somebody came up with it.
[02:54:28] Unknown:
Yeah. It was Larry. Just a follow-up on my three questions. So I I guess what you believe is that the, federal government that that is, in intact today is a continuation of the original federal government that was created by by the constitution. It's just been a an an a continuation.
[02:54:53] Unknown:
Correct? No. First, no. That's I won't I won't say correct because we're not saying it right. Words mean something. Those that founded our country, the militiamen of the several states, didn't use the word federal at all. That wasn't part of their that wasn't part of their vocabulary when they were talking about the government in Washington DC. The word federal was around and there was the Federalist Papers, for example, but they didn't apply that to government, but the Federalist movement tried to do that. It is they called it the general government in Washington DC, that's what they called it, and I like that. I think that's what we should call it because the word general has an important meaning.
I'm not going to sidetrack onto that, Lord willing, but it's important. For by example, the Bible said do not do not swear generally. Well, that's an important word, you know, talking about swearing, we were talking about that a while ago, what does that mean? But it is the general government, It's not a federal government. That's from the old world. That's from the law of the city, Federale. That's why it's, the government in Mexico is called the Federales. It's not federal. No. No. It is a common law government, and, none of the three branches in government are final. And the jury is not part of the judicial branch, really. It's all by itself doing its own thing. That's final in individual instances.
And all that legislation you're asking about, all the code, the US code, was that what you asked about? That's a starting point, and we jump start our common law government using a majority a majority vote in Congress. That's how law gets rolling. You say it's law? Yeah. It's law until it's challenged and overturned, challenged and reapplied or applied in a way maybe that nobody thought of before. Oh, yeah. But we call it law. We do. Yes. We do. All law making power is in is in the Congress. Here's the problem with a lot of the Patriot Movement, and I can sense it in the questions that are asked. Our common law government does not rest on logic.
The law of the city claims to rest on logic. We don't care about logic. We care about truth. And the truth may not fit our our, puny little minds, and and we may not understand it all. But the fact of the matter, if it's true, it's true, and that settles it whether I understand it or not. That's our common law tradition. So much so that when we go to court before the jury, we go to court before the jury, we don't ask the jury to be logical and, tell us, figure out what good law is. No. We just tell them, tell us what the facts are, and we don't care if you can make it logical. We wanna know what happened. Logic has nothing to do with it. No. We just want you to decide the facts. And if the facts are the facts, we can't explain them. That's okay. There's still the facts. And there's a lot in this world we can't explain, my friends, that they're a fact because the evidence is overwhelming. Maybe we'll understand them, and we have understood things. I'm not young done yet. We have understood things as we go along, and we will understand more and more. God has given that to us to understand our environment, the things around us, creation, the laws of nature more and more. He wants us to do that, but still we accept the fact of it first, and then he will reveal more and more about it. So, no, the fact of the matter is the government is that's the way our government works. You want people want, everything to be cut and dried. They want the King James Bible to be the final Bible. They want the government to be this way. You have the power. You don't. That's Patriot Mythology, and that's not according to evidence. Evidence comes at us like the Bible is a book. It is evidence, and we're to make a decision based upon the evidence we have individually.
And and and being uncomfortable with uncertainty at certain points is what God wants us to do. He wants us to use evidence. What is evidence? Evidence is is anything that makes a proposed fact more likely or less likely in the mind of the juror or the investigator. Somebody said Brent. I want you to talk right now.
[02:59:07] Unknown:
Brent, quick comment and a question for you, to be you address at a later date because I know you wanna get out of here. Not all those titles in US code have been enacted in the positive law, and I would like you to go over positive and nonpositive law maybe on another day, please. Thank you.
[02:59:24] Unknown:
Well, yeah. Where where do you live, or what state are you from?
[02:59:30] Unknown:
Georgia.
[02:59:31] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. Well, I see. I recognize voices, and then I put them with a place that helps me some. Positive law is important discussion. What is positive law? We make that too complicated. The distinction that you draw on positive law is not the distinction that anybody has ever really drawn in the courts. Positive law is a is a a clear declaration of some mortal man or combination thereof on what the law is. That's positive law. It could come from any branch of government, any of the three branches, and, to make the distinction that you referenced is not really accurate. Well, they're not positive law. The congress no. Everything congress says is is an attempt at positive law. Some of it is enacted, some of it isn't. But, legislation, certainly all of it, all regulations, all legislation is positive law.
William Blackstone makes this distinction in his commentaries. He calls positive law, and this is not a good word to use, but he got started with it, and we've been using it ever since. He calls it municipal law. Municipal law. That's from man. What is common law? Common law is unwritten. Remember that? There's written law that's positive. Spoken. The Bible is positive law from the maker of heaven and earth. Clear, spoken, and specific. What is nonpositive law? That's the law that's all around us because God is the source of all law. He is everywhere. All of him is everywhere in his creation.
We call it the brooding omnipresence of the law, and it's our job to find the law. It's positive law once it's declared, but it's not positive law, but it's there. It's there, but it's not positive yet. See, we make it positive. When we make a declaration. I say to my children, I said to my daughter once, you're not going there. Well, if you let me go to the county fair and blah blah blah, you're not going, though. That's positive law. I I laid the I laid the law down. That's positive. For example, when, slavery was challenged under the Somerset case, a slave from Virginia went to England and it was brought up before justice Mansfield. The slave ran away. They they jailed the slave. His name was Somerset, I believe.
He's from Virginia. And they jailed him, and they did a writ of habeas corpus and brought him before justice Mansfield. And justice Mansfield said, when it was all over, he said, I've searched high and low throughout all the laws of England. I can't find that slavery could possibly exist in England except by positive law, and there is none. What was he saying? He was saying the only way it's gonna exist is if the parliament passes a law and says it exists, and they've never done that ever in the whole history of this island. No legislative body, the wit and gamut of the Anglo Saxons, has ever pronounced it legal, slavery.
See, he made that distinction between positive law and that brooding omnipresent. You see, in England, for example, non positive law, the law against murder in England is non positive. It's not written down on any book anywhere unless they've changed it recently. And they've used to brag about it a lot. We're a common law country. We, convict people of murder. We bring them up for murder, and it's not on the books anywhere, and we let the jury decide. The jury has to find it in the brooding omnipresence of the law, God himself, who's everywhere, omnipresent, everywhere present.
That's the difference that I understand, and I say, well I haven't read everybody on the subject, but I used to read a lot of a lot of a lot of, oh, now what we call legal philosophers, and they struggle trying to find the source of law as though it's a mystery. I'm a Christian man whether I like it or not. I like it, but I am a Christian man, and I know because God has given me a new mind, a new will, a new inclination, and he's enlightened my brain to accept the truth whether I like it or not. In many cases, I still struggle with that, but at least I have the option now. And, I've read the philosophers and they don't get it.
And they never do land and but if you don't say that all law comes from the creator of all things, all good law, then, you'll spend your life searching for that fundamental truth, never finding it, as the Bible says, ever learning and never never able. You can't. It's not even possible for you to come to a knowledge of the truth because you've not been born from above. Well, I'm gonna get off of here with that because I can't talk anymore. Thanks, though. I will Thank you, Brent. Yeah. Thank you, gents and ladies. Ladies and gentlemen, as we used to say. How come we don't hear that phrase anymore? I want you all Thank you, Brent. Thank you very much. Well, thank you. I want you to all say often, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, make that distinction. I'm making it in a way that says men, are gentlemen. That means they try that. They're looking for some decency in life. And the women are ladies. They're looking for some decency too. These phrases are from our common law tradition. Use them. I'll leave you with that. Go to commonlawyer.com.

Thanks for sticking around, Brent.
[03:05:27] Unknown:
Love listening to you.
[03:05:29] Unknown:
Well, I love all of you. What was it Elvis used to say? I love you. I really do. Now I feel that way about you because, well, if I weren't able to talk to somebody, I'd burst, and you even act like you're listening sometimes. That's really something.
[03:05:45] Unknown:
Hi, Brent. You mentioned Trump about What? What? Brent? You mentioned you mentioned Trump about thirty minutes ago, and I just wanted to say I saw in the news about three days ago that Trump is bringing in 600,000 Chinese
[03:06:05] Unknown:
men to The United States. Did you see that? No. I didn't. I I don't. I don't know about it. So I was wondering. Mhmm.
[03:06:13] Unknown:
Okay. Just wanna let you know that was in the news. Thank you. I will look. Thank you. Bye bye. Bye bye.
[03:06:21] Unknown:
Chinese men need their wives too, I guess.
[03:06:33] Unknown:
Brent has left the building.
[03:07:21] Unknown:
Joan? Hey, Joan. It's Robbie here. I got a question for you. Hey. Hey. Did he say why he's bringing them in? I'm just gonna assume, to to help set up this AI system, this Palantir system that's gonna destroy us like like they're using in Gaza. What do you say?
[03:07:51] Unknown:
Okay. My phone or your phone or somebody's phone cut out right when you're saying, but did you ask me why Trump is bringing in 600,000 Chinese?
[03:07:59] Unknown:
Yes, ma'am.
[03:08:01] Unknown:
Because okay. I only saw the headline, and I just I it just made me sick, and I just kept going. I didn't look at any more details.
[03:08:09] Unknown:
Okay. Thank you.
[03:08:38] Unknown:
And if you look a little bit more into here, First of all, the man, is a Brazilian. He must have been absolutely giddy when they, accepted him on the American Stock Exchange. He'd been trying for ten years. The man, behind Palantir is very wicked and evil, and he's got a really bad history. And, Trump was willing to sign over the entire database of The United States to him. And he's, AI, His focus is on AI. So there's a I think that's what's called an endgame situation myself. I yield.
[03:09:39] Unknown:
And gay. And gay.
[03:09:56] Unknown:
Jesus don't give you the spirit of fear, and you create your own reality when you speak it.
[03:10:06] Unknown:
I have absolutely no fear because I believe in Jesus Christ, and I I I have absolutely no fear for the world. I am more focused on my heavenly than my worldly, but it's kinda hard to ignore what's going on in the world. And so when you read these headlines and you do the research, it's pretty scary. It looks like the endgame. So I got rid of false evidence appearing real. Don't don't exist in my body.
[03:10:55] Unknown:
Amen.
[03:11:09] Unknown:
Does everybody know what MAGA stands for? I don't think anybody's there anymore.

Well, a lot of people think it's, make America great again, But it is the fifth level of Satan, fifth hierarchy of Satan. It also can stand for m, Microsoft, a, Amazon, g, Google, a, Apple. Technocracy coming.

Now is that Julie or Robbie?
[03:11:56] Unknown:
That's me, Julie.
[03:11:58] Unknown:
That's what I thought.

Yeah.
[03:12:08] Unknown:
Julie, it's not coming. It's been here. Just just realizing it.
[03:12:14] Unknown:
No. I already knew it was here all along, boy.
[03:12:37] Unknown:
