00:13Okay, we will hear that video now.
00:19May it please the court. I come here today a humble proceed before a panel of five distinguished justices.
00:25Is this, hold on. Is that counsel for the case?
00:32I generated that.
00:34I'm sorry?
00:36I generated that. That is not a real person.
00:42Okay, it would have been nice to know that when you made your application.
00:48You did not tell me that, sir. I received the application.
00:51And you have appeared before this court and been able to testify verbally in the past.
00:58You have gone to my clerk's office and held verbal conversations with our staff for over 30 minutes.
01:05Okay?
01:06I don't appreciate being misled.
