The hosts deconstruct the "Strawman" theory, a staple of sovereign citizen movements, which claims that every individual has a corporate twin created at birth by the government. The theory suggests that legal names in all capital letters refer to these corporations rather than the living person.

### Department of Justice Website Redesign, Common Law Banner

The Department of Justice website underwent a redesign, replacing the American flag banner with a challenge coin and a script quote regarding common law. The new banner states that common law is the "will of mankind issuing from the life of the people," which draws criticism for omitting references to the U.S. Constitution. The visual aesthetic is described as low-action with a gray and black color scheme.
