Alex McFarland and Eric Discuss the Subject of Natural Law
"We're talking about everything and you said people need to attend to the life of the mind. I mean, I think it was something that we did in this culture for most of our history, people had to understand the basics of how things work, what is liberty? What is right and wrong? How do you get right and wrong? And you were talking earlier about what Lewis C. S. Lewis calls the Dow this inherent sense that every human being has, this conscience of between right and wrong. We all know it. You don't need to be a baptized Christian to know that stealing and murder are wrong. And it brings us maybe to the subject of natural law. The genius legal scholar Hadley Arcus has written a book coming out in a few months called mere natural law. That God's law right and wrong is that the basis of everything. You can not have a constitution unless you understand these things that precede whatever is written in the constitution. Do you know doctor Martin Luther King Jr. predicated the entire validity of the civil rights movement on natural law? If you read his 1963 Pulitzer Prize winning book while we can't wait, brilliant book, by the way, and he quotes Augustine Aquinas in letter from the Birmingham jail. He basically appeals to natural law that we're all human beings, regardless of our ethnicity, we're humans. And if one human has natural rights, all humans have natural rights. Now, Jefferson two, when he used the words in the declaration, we all these truths to be self evident. That all endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. That's natural law.

NYT Admits on Their Front Page That Republicans Lead for the Midterms
"22 days, can you believe it? All the hype over the summer, all the focus on the grassroots work, canvassing, voter registration, we are 22 days out. From a midterm election that should begin the end of the modern Democrat party. Our success is not just getting more votes than the Democrats. We want a complete and total annihilation and extinction event of the woke Democrat party. We want to send a message from corner to corner of America from Bangor Maine to Malibu, California to Seattle, Washington, to Chicago, Illinois, to Birmingham, Alabama, that the far left wing aspects of the Democrat party have no place in America. From medical mutilation of children to late term abortion to wide open borders to deteriorating economy, we want to make the Democrat party extinct. Now I'm not saying that's going to happen assuredly, but we are certainly trending in a direction that is going to put the Democrats on defense and The New York Times admits it. On the front page of The New York Times today, of which I read so you don't have to. And sometimes we get emails, Charlie, why do you read The New York Times? Look, they of course are fake news and a waste of time. But they are one of the major incubators for elite opinion across America. So if you read The New York Times, you really get an idea of what all the people in the FBI are reading Goldman Sachs are reading Bank of America reading.

"birmingham" Discussed on Bloomberg Radio New York
"Birmingham? Yeah, so I think markets are really looking for kind of flexibility, actually. So I think obviously they announced the scrapping of the higher straight income tax cuts, but that was actually quite small really. It was only worth around 2 billion pounds in terms of the annual budget for these tax cuts. So it's kind of a situation where a little bit of division might actually be good because the market is really telling us that they don't like this new Chancellor in terms of his policies. We've got a story coming out tomorrow summing up be one month tomorrow since trust became prime minister of the markets are down around 300 billion pounds since she came in and what investors really need to see are these predictions from the office of budget responsibility. The government can't seem to make up their mind when they're coming out. I think the latest idea is that they'll be coming out a bit earlier than end of November when they had been scheduled for. So the market really needs to see those today trying to see whether they could be any more flexibility on trust in terms of maybe potentially scaling back a few more bits of this program. UK stocks are now trading at around the cheapest level since 2011. So some investors saying that there's some bargains out there in the market. I just briefly Joe. I mean, this is not the event where you would expect massive policy announcements, but I suppose there are some sectors we could keep an eye on energy, mortgage lenders and the like if we if we felt it necessary. Yeah, I think anything that's been exposed to mortgage rates is really in focus so that if trust is anything that could move bond yields, you'd be looking at banks and real estate in the home builders obviously

How Can You Justify Breaking the Law?
"I want to talk in this segment about the concept of natural law. And I want to do it by looking at an article, one of my favorite publications, the quarterly journal called first things, and the article is by POJ named David Novak. Who is a chair of Jewish studies at the university of Toronto. The article is called the bottom line. And it gets to the some of the conundrums around this concept of natural law, which I think a very illuminating. So Novak begins by talking about reading Martin Luther King's letter from the Birmingham jail. And he says what's really interesting here is that Martin Luther King is breaking a law. It's the segregation law of Birmingham. And yet Martin Luther King is arguing that he is right to do this. He's right to break the law. So David Novak raises the obvious question, how can you justify breaking a law? And Martin Luther King answer is, in effect, I'm breaking the law because the law itself is wrong. The law is unjust. So since the law is unjust, it is just to violate the law. Now, if I'm punished for doing that, so be it, but I am in the right and the law is in the wrong. This is king. It just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law of the law of God. So here's Martin Luther King saying in effect that there is a law above the law. Well, what law is that? A kind of a higher law. And this is a very direct appeal to natural law. The concept of natural law is nothing more than the idea of a higher law, a kind of a God given law, a law embedded. You may say in the code of nature itself and what king is saying is that our ordinary laws are positive laws, so called laws that are passed by legislatures and so on need to be judged themselves by this higher by this higher standard.

"birmingham" Discussed on WCPT 820
"This is from his letter from a Birmingham jail I'm going to repeat what I started before 'cause I didn't finish It was a long paragraph I must make two honest confessions to you my Christian and Jewish brothers First time has confessed that over the past few years I've been gravely disappointed with the white moderate I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the white citizen's counselor or the Ku Klux Klan But the white moderate who is more devoted to order than to justice who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice Who constantly says I agree with you in the goal you seek but I can not agree with your methods of direct action Who paternalistically believes he can set of timetable for another man's freedom Who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a more convenient season Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that Law & Order exist for the purpose of establishing justice And that when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that the president tension in the south is a necessary phase of the transition from an obnoxious negative piece in which the Negro passively accepted his unjust plight to a substantive and positive peace in which all men will respect the dignity and worth of human personality Actually we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive We bring it out in the open Where it can be seen and dealt with Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light injustice must be exposed with all the tension its exposure creates The light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured In your statement you assert that our actions even though peaceful must be condemned because they precipitate violence But is this a logical assertion Isn't this like a condemning a robbed man because his possessions of money precipitated the evil act of robbery Isn't this like condemning Socrates because his unswerving commitment to truth and his philosophical inquiries precipitated the act by the misguided populace in which they made him drink hemlock Isn't this like condemning Jesus He causes unique God consciousness and never ceasing devotion to God's will precipitated the evil act of crucifixion We must come to see that as the federal courts have consistently affirmed it is wrong to urge an individual to cease his efforts to gain his basic constitutional rights because that quest may precipitate violence Society must punish protect the robbed and punish the robber I had also hoped that the white moderate would reject the myth concerning time and relation to the struggle for freedom I've just received a letter from a white brother in Texas He writes quote all Christians know that the colored people will receive equal rights eventually but it is possible that you are in too great a religious hurry It has taken Christianity almost 2000 years to accomplish what it has The teachers of Christ take time to come to earth Such an attitude stems stems from a tragic misconception of time From the strangely irrational notion that there is something in the very flow of time that will inevitably cure all ills Actually time itself is neutral It can be used either destructively or constructively More and more I feel that the people of ill will have used time much more effectively than have the people of goodwill We will.

They're actually harvesting yes. And it's not. It's simply that you know that the picking on and then winding it round and setting it up. That's the game yet and she could be obviously a particular type of crop that they had. So it's it's just it's just the description of the way that each of those little things and so people will be much more familiar with the big black huge bales of hay bales yet but in different it's different crops are are kind of placed in the field in different ways and then another track to become on it all up so is it. Because her father was a gardener she lived in farming rural community and so everybody went out and it was all caused by hand. Yes yes and these are the words that as writers yet we can try to keep in current dylan. I kept saying to rosie. How do you spell that.

Allow the fact that our circumstances are different. I'm never what makes us feel that. We have no right to speak for other people. Actually we're not speaking for other people. We need to speak as thirteen million now. Yes unpaid carriage in the uk just in the uk and the vast majority of those women and yeah the politicians are not addressing these social care and so therefore i felt it was part of my job. If you like is a character. Put my voice with other taras empty huge numbers of emails. Letters of phone calls events that i've done. Everybody has a different experience. But everybody's going. We all need to speak vow. This we need speak loudly about this. Exactly and i really encourage people to read it a for the beautiful writing and be for the devastating statistics. Because that it's a it's a really wonderful call for this. And and the the the impact on women on and emits the pandemic which has hit women differently for men as well. All of that is very awfully put in book and and as you can imagine if it hit somebody with with a comfortable situation like this then how does it at somebody without one. It's really really powerful. And that's and that's actually positive. Job of people customer writers but also have had these experiences of Thinking about caring for people living and dying unda and but all of that is the we need to look after our carris. Yeah there's some people who have not had a day off in from from the carrying responsible for eighteen months because all of these care services shot down and they had to. We saw the absolute disregard for older people and people with disabilities show in by the government. And it this is not a party. Political point making. It's the government is in charge regardless of their political color. And it but this is. This is a crisis that has been coming down the road for very long time and of all times when it now should be being raft. It is now and that it's still not right because it will it will pieces. Am i saying that. I don't think the families should be the primary cares if they can't be of course i'm not in almost every case spoken to people are very. They want to be the primary carrots. But what about the people without any support. What about the people who carrying an eighty year old woman. Who's carrying for a ninety two year old man was about. The people had a child whose child died on about all of the. What about and should the sign of a civilized. Good society is how we care for the people who need us most not the people who make the most money. Yeah and so our priorities around this have got very skewed and it's a brilliant thing that our populations eleven older. It's a sign of why the nhs's so extraordinary and why it matters that people don't routine died in the forties and fifties as many words of history. They did but that does bring with it. The idea of how people live well as you know. And how we approach the business of dying and support care. So i do feel very strongly and you write in. You know. we're not quite in the same field. But we kind of all in this writing. And i think that every book that comes out every moment that somebody who's in a position can pick up a book like yours or mine and see their own experiences reflected. Make somebody a little bit less alone in trying to deal with these things. That are very complicated. Yes and i think it's also it's partly. It's partly the connecting with people on where you are together and it's also partly opening a window on how things could be exact and i've always been a campaign a as a Positively so like okay. There is a problem here. What are we gonna do about it. Yeah and let's go forward. Hopefully yes you know. And i think that's really really important again. I'm very lucky in that because one that is my nature secondly all of the things in terms of the caring responsibilities i have. I love my mother-in-law. There were many people who are caring for people who don't wanna like by much. Yes who are not very nice into the idea. That has older is much nice. We know is not true people themselves. It's the age equivalent. Of in beano veritas. People get older. They get more themselves right and some people that are not pleasant and some people to care for people that did not care for them. That's right but whereas is wonderful right you know and it's very interesting people's fast reactions if they don't know crazy and they don't know me they don't know family and my husband restaurant when you say you have your mother knew people go ou know they automatically put a face. That's tricky imagining. The the mother-in-law joke mother no check but of course at behind that his very deep strain misogyny yes. That's right which. I power play continent you know. Don't sign up to them in any way. Whatever yeah let me speak for the writers who may be listening who probably are listening in all of this. How do you protect your writing time. Yeah well you can't is as simple as that. You know it's Absolutely you can't with a novel. One of my novels called citadel. I was writing that when my father was dying. And i looking back now i company but kept going. I should have just run option. Say you know this is not gonna come yet but the problem that everybody knows about caring for older people in particular or equally younger people with life limiting disabilities. But that might be. You might became for a long time. His you never know when the significant moment is coming until it happened so with everybody. Who's akara there will be many false alarms. When you think it's the end and then it's not and so what do you say to your publisher icon. I'm going to live this book late. I just can't do it because my father had there were several moments over a period of about nine months where it looked like he was going to die and then it. That wasn't the time it wasn't his time. And so when do you stop and so in the end it was more acute even with my ma who had a condition called. Copd shipping smoker for many years. And she but she also had issues with a heart. He was incredibly healthy wonderful except for the fact that she had this really big issue she looked perfect was wonderful and she had. There were many times when she had to go in for oxygen or be looks after there was no sign at all the the weekend that she died he was going to die. None at all. And i was i was writing and working and was due on stage to do some interviews and all the rest of it and huge work situation going on. I was on the phone. And what have to send really sorry. It's going to have to go and call you back because doctors here but that wasn't again it wasn't any different from other times that had happened and then suck me. My wonderful beautiful. Mother was was dominant. So i think that is what is impossible about protecting writing you really. Can't you just have to play it by ear. But be brave enough and i was only brave enough after the event with with my dad's death what i went back to that novel. I looked on the page that might grief at his loss. He's imminent loss was on every single page of that novel and it didn't belong there. It was i. It didn't belong had to say you know i just need to take some time. And after my mother died. I couldn't even read a tool. It.

Her latest novel city of tears was published in january. Twenty twenty one. She lives in west sussex with her husband and mother-in-law and she's there right now ready to talk with us locate. Hello good morning. good morning to you. I i am so pleased to have impaired with you. Have the chance to read an extra pair of hands and It's very close to my heart as as it is to. I think a lot of us in our these end. Thank you said in another interview. You're approaching sixty m. yes sixtieth birthday. topa right. And i i remember very alba ably when i when my parents parents were dying and And thinking they're talking to their friends all the time. Their friends are also going through this and my friends and i will also be going through this at the same time and so i would like the the first thing that struck me in reading him very early on right in the first pages of this book where you said the many things said it's about and the one that really pierced me was trying and failing simultaneously. Yeah can you see that and you see that very human duality that tension in your fictional stories as well or was that very applicable to you in talking about just your own life. That's a great question. Actually addison about you know because one of the key things as one of us who writes in different genres is how similar. The skin is for writing each different type of book and there is for me it was very liberating writing non fiction i've written some nonfiction before but this is by far the most personal book i've ever written but actually the skill of the way that i went about writing. It was the same as the way that i go about writing awful. Which is you need to put couches on the page. You need to put him motions on the page and so that particular thing about trying and failing and succeeding simultaneously everything. Existing in the moment is at the heart. I think any human experience in that we all are whether it's an made up carrot or acid. Our lives mostly. We're trying to do our best and often you can have that wonderful feeling that you got it right. You know you did the right thing at the right time. But particularly when you're writing about care when as you say there is no. there is no no alternative ending. yes the ending. If your character is almost always going to be in the death of the past newcastle living. Well undying went the same story dying. What is positive of living and it will come to. His doesn't matter who we are. How immortal we feel in the end. It will come to us. So i think that that is at the heart of what it means to be a cara but obviously in the piece of fiction. I can't decide the can change the ending. I usually finish before my characters die. Suddenly the lead characters or next. That's part of the story. And so i wanted to have that sense that whatever you do will never will never change. Things i could do is make a horrible. It's much overused at the moment. Time obsessed with the olympics and what appears on every interview the journey right but all you can do as a carry is make the journey a brilliant as it can be for the person you're carrying four and by association yourself. Exactly 'cause you're not the doctor your comforter and the lift and i quote in the book is full of literary allusions and authors and writings and and things like that. But you know. It's the idea that old age there is no cure for that. There is no cure for a nor nor debbie. I mean the united states the span of a person's life well. I'm glad you mentioned the literary references throughout that was a great joy and it made me wonder clearly. Reading has been a way of getting through life for you as well as writing so reading must have come. I in in writing this book did you. Did you have moments where you're like. Ooh i remember. There's a poem the fits perfectly here. Is that what happened throughout yet. You know in a way. I mean as as you can't be a writer if you're not a region yeah the best writers a great readers and it starts like that all of us and it's about expression and reading is about Reading the words of other people who are expressing things that we're feeling more excitement that we wanted to feel and sometimes it's about making sensitive difficult emotions but often it's about sharing wonderful motion to you know it's it's everything it's the same thing. It's the full gammit because all of our emotions are part of what makes us who we are. It's not just the good stuff that makes us area. Yeah so i've always been passionate reader unto always carried a lot of other people's words in me if you like So a lot of the poems in particular that i quote total songs that i quote our check them that i was getting them right but many of them were things that i read ten years ago. Twenty years ago forty years ago And thought i knew that. I know that that author has put precisely what i'm feeling better than i can. So let me go and find that quotation. It's people who are who are condensing. The essence of things isn't show exactly right and i think also that we have completely different experiences. All of us in carrying us in life but when we all read a particular poet i finished with the philip larkin poem that remains of us is love. An extraordinary poem arendal tomb. The article team is actually in chichester cathedral my home city and ditched cathedral as a place that i love done many many many many events there over the years. It's a place that is at the heart of the music in the school community as well as a faith community And i didn't even realize the rental tomb was there until i was studying at school. You know half a mile down the road. And then i'll teacher said you know the actual to is his veto but when i used that quotation so many people have read that line. What remains is love and it has meant something to them. So it's about obviously we are always connected as reader and writer through any book but then when you share quotations that means something to you you're connecting to uneven wider range of people who've come across the same words and it and they have resonated for them so that's partly why i share so much other writers because we all become a bigger and bigger and bigger community every time. We say enough that too until i wanted to do that. Because everybody's carrying experiences is different and everybody's reading experiences different de recall correctly that Sometimes you need to granny rosie. Is that right or is it.

And good morning to your audience. I'm glad you're with us. Big day. Today is what? How many people are running for mayor here in Birmingham Last count was like 175 8 candidates ate like 50 11 like $5. I'm displaying. It's only eight total. Polls are open from seven AM to seven PM today. Just really want to encourage people to exercise their right to vote. All right, your biggest concerns if you're elected for a second term on the state of the state's situation in Birmingham in our surrounding communities. The same thing. The same thing. It is now we still we still have the focus on neighborhood of violence Nation, We still have to focus on decreasing gun violence. And investing in our infrastructure as well. Spider Delta variant spreading through not only Birmingham in the entire state of Alabama. You know, there are some people Nathaniel has reached out. He's calling in this morning. Wants to ask you a question. Your, uh, 889105105 is our number. Nathaniel. So good morning. You're on with the mayor. What's on your mind? I was wondering why I hadn't heard anything about, uh The sanctuary city that this current mirror in Birmingham has set up for these illegals. And then the city now makes it to where all employees have to pay in their insurance to allow for gender change, You know, sex operation sex change operations. Um And then you know, there's an ethics complaint on the state level and the federal complaint that's been filed against the mayor. Okay. Alright. Alright With a lot of questions, Jerry may 1st one. Let's talk about the sanctuary City situation. JT. The gentleman just call in his come on Africa paid by one of my opponents, so I'll answer all of his questions. A father, he He's filed some erroneous completely because I wouldn't pay him to work on my campaign. Um, he knows to Birmingham is not a sanctuary city related by employees. Um, He likes to instigate things, so I'll take you next caller that has an actual genuine question. Okay. Do we have any buddy lined up else? Other than that, John Vector for the mayor. Let us know if we get somebody calling in here, so your position with the border situation obviously is a complete nightmare. And more and more people seem to be getting into this country under Biden's administration, and these people are going to be spreading out. So if your legal is coming to our city, what's your position on that? Well, um, I think a couple of ways to answer that question, uh, anything related to the border. I think we know it's not a marriage. I think that's related to the federal government. And I think the federal government is doing everything it can snow different and in your president, President protect our state, our country's borders so I'll continue to listen to what they're offering in form of that protection. As it relates to cities. You know again, there's no rights. They're all that is controlled by the state. So if somebody is illegal in the city of Birmingham, you're you're not going to be like one of these cities like the West Coast Portland, San Francisco That's going to not cooperate with ice and cooperate with what's going on. As far as enforcing our federal laws on a local level. Well, our administration and plan enforces laws the same time. The city of Birmingham is a welcoming city. Um are BP is not going around checking anyone's immigration because that's not our job. Our job is to make sure there's growth in the city economic vitality in the city. All right, Let's talk about the crime in the city here. Obviously, it's a big concern. Not only here in Birmingham, but obviously around the country in some major cities. Uh, what are the efforts going on right now? As far as bringing that down the violence here we've seen every other day We see people in communities going. The violence has to stop. The violence has to stop. What's the chief? I have to say about ways to combat that along with yourself. I think the given. I think you have a national crisis right now. Urban cores across America related to gun violence. I think related to other crimes, Uh, victims of gun violence on the only victims of crime, their second survival rate. Assault burglary tests. And in all those categories city of Birmingham, Messina continued decline, with the exception of gun violence related to gun violence. You've taken over $5000 of guns off our streets over the last Three plus years, but I think it's gonna take a multipronged approach. We're not going to be able to arrest our way out of this. And you can't have an enforcement lands. Only think we have to consider Things around prevention measures, such as conflict resolution long term as well as ranchers, measures to make sure those who were but can rib rehabilitate back into our city limits. And don't do the same thing that got them in state or federal custody in the first place. Job training, etcetera. Right, Right. Alright. Well, Mayor, I appreciate your time this morning. I know you're busy and lots going on with the election in Birmingham today for the mayor and eight candidates. Mayor Randall Woodfin. Thank you for your time this morning. Appreciate you. Good luck.

You don't sound like you're trying to be somebody else or copy somebody else and that means lots of was kind of a space. There's a lot of musical influences between us. All kind of it. Just all comes together with something. That sounds a bit new and people say not enough. Great people right stuffing original. I can imagine he said this is more of a aware key so to them. Some me jamal. But i can imagine people could just get with the volta happy folks. Will you on stage Just patron it in my head and people putting the hands up swam from side to side while the thinking about that nice things that are going on in their life and listen to music at the same time you know in the patient in. It's really a good. Yes one of them is. I think music should be about escapism. Shouldn't it really. i think. I think that's what most people use it for any kind of so you it. It's should say different place. There's no you know whether you're sitting out in your garden or you're a festival listening to live music or whatever. It was just transported to a different place in and if people if people feel out of outsource than than that brilliant in its size to be part. Because that's something's up. Music's always don't made definitely always if i'm going on holiday until they start free. Indie band never share anything that gives me unless of so in the public domain. But why do i get like twenty thirty forty. Sometimes i mean my attention span after forty records I like to listen to the news or just sit quietly drive in twenty thirty backgrounds against india. Wild put them on different. Cd's this is a malay. This is raucous offices. The and i just put in the cobb on the stop digital thing and i just love it and what was weird about is. I'll probably coupla attracts recognize but I'll appreciate every single one of them. Because i'm not deliberately which most cadet Come out in miami. I you select. Come you before teeing used to like commodores in diana ross and even up to date stuff i like head shaven now. Pillow just play music like them and very similar. I don't do it that way. I just pond stuff. Dampener appreciate that. Because i think in the energy welcome even in the dot weld spiritual leases. You just this guy. Someone's gonna happen to these people singing these records. I think if you appreciate them. I mean the dockside Which had different views is A real if you cite yourself Other let's say that like somebody Only wrong no. She's done you wrong and you gone on about them. I hate them. I really love to give them one or or even to the extreme to see them her to know what. If you wish. I'd probably happened. But civil i if you wish happiness and peace and though that that will happen even easier than the other side of it. Yeah that's just my point of view you. You're right under space. It's like it's the interpretive nature of it as an artist as well isn't it so kind of we can't really be too precious and say this is what they song should be about. Because actually it's not really up to us. Is it the way the way it was written. We've got no right to dictate the way. People interpret the songs and stay in separate in their own way and knots. The way it should be. Isn't it you know. I think once like talk about this but i think it's great these days because there's no kind of middleman there's no a and all the known anybody can put any any anytime. And that's brilliant. Do the thing about this. You've kinda got set. Free a little bit and i think once it goes out there into the public domain. It's not yours anymore. Geno domain kind of it becomes everybody's without without too pretentious. Actually it is rarely. It's a piece of offer. Anyone separates enron weiss a very good way of looking at You having a product. You a separate fridge-freezer you if you decide that fridge. Freezer and people get pleasure out of it.

That loss record was it's more like come to me anyways. You could tell me why was all about when you wrote or it.

Why did you Go into the music industry. And how did you form. When did you form the band. Well i think in the music industry you know. It's kind of. I think for a massive proportion of the country. It's your passion. Is and i think the so many people in this country that just live and breathe music and all of us ever since we were kids really. It's it's sometimes. It's just a bit of a hop step and jump from there. It's a kind of lennon's play an instrument and then meeting like minded people an playing playing together and then installed so you know. I think it's quite an organic thing really. I think it's kind of. It's not you know you just thought think you've never done stuff like that before anything. Going to be an abundance. It's kind of like everything that's influenced you as a broad. It's points so. I mean we've been in defeat sleeping in bonds for years and years different bonds but this is the first time we've actually concert gutter so i think real life takes over doesn't it you know some points and you dip in and out of these things but i think for it in a position really where we can Where we can start doing some good stuff with this so we just thought wine all started putting things out on dockside outsing specify in april rejoined switzerland april on since then. It's just been a bit of a roller coaster. Rarely which is brilliant of noticed. Really really is unusual for this to happen now. You really need you more quickly. F- among tiffany days ago. But you've had the most amazing spy fi listener number. I mean it may not be a record but for new bond to join and to get so many listeners for the new in a short period of time account member the number. That's why i've looked decided to go. It was august fifty or five hundred accounting. Well yeah a five hundred which is just kind of shocked. Us rarely and kind of less than two days as posed for. I think social media. It definitely helps. I mean i think twitter is a really good ground for musicians just not just promote themselves but just connect with people you know and you start to get into ups. Were the the only people on twitter that you interact with other musicians bands. Dj's music fans. So you kind of it really does feel like massive community. They're good obviously. When you do put something out and people like it touches. The massive bonus rarely so. I think you've already got a polo of like minded people of being created and not just kind of throw something else into the ether. An hoping it sticks and haven't said da we. We have just been quite a while. I rarely and it's not. It's not just listen. Listen he chose people are enjoying it. But it's not just that it's people message and saying we really like it also bans that we really respect. We've really liked a kind of blown away the last couple of days so yeah. We're very very happy. Now is coming more important. I think because that the potential people that could possibly come to your comes When you when you have one You know if you have some inks for sale the match united. They're gonna be there with you because like you musical. They come in and if they will come into negativity they don't matter anyway. Yeah so many have feedback from people. Just kind of like to cite rarely like for anybody. The likes bonds enjoys what they produce. Take a bit of time to do that because it just means. Everything's people it really. Does you know it can be. It's great but you know it's it can be a bit of a slog record and putting it out there and it's like it's a it's a labor of lova suppose so so when people take the time to to say that they like Means everything rarely that's always encouraged music funds and other bonds. If if you if you like something totally on social media to say so because it just gets awfully appreciates it ten times over really okay. What's on members names and get show. Yeah i am so yeah. I'm poll so i do. Course could saw 'em kilos call entirely plays bass and billy plays drums some a second question. What what do they play. Let's let's say the first song them i actually.

Each and every week and the next question is going to come from Vince. He is in West Jefferson. Here's the question, and it is a doozy. Just looking at it. It's a big old paragraph. I'll be 64 years old this year. And I'm thinking of taking Social Security benefits at full retirement age and putting the money in a money market account for four years and continue to work until age 70. Would put $1000 in monthly and use the rest as a safety net. Now at age 70. I'll retire and have social Security, the money market account and a 403 B Should I wait until I turned 70 to start collecting Social security? Well, Vince, I see where you're going with this, And I've had clients that have done some similar strategies. But in your case, it's not a good idea to do it. So if you're waiting to age 70 you hold Max out your Social Security income, which is 8% gain in your income from self security. If you stick in a money market account, you're only going to get about a half a percent, So you've got to sort of do the math there. I would wait until 72 draw yourself security and maximize that 8% gain that you're going to get 8%. It's a lot better than a half a percent for sure. Okay. There you go, Vince. I hope that answer satisfies. If you have further questions. Obviously, there's going to be an opportunity to get on the counter with Ken Reeves at Apex Financial Group. No cost no obligation for that consultation, So listen up. For that. We're going to go to Hoover for our next question. Craig is there here's Here It is. I'm 60 and my wife is 59 1 of the biggest disagreements we have about our pending retirement. Is how to estimate the future returns from our savings. These returns will dramatically affect our finances and retirement. What approach should we used to get a reasonably conservative estimate of future returns? Well, Greg, the first thing I would ask is what vehicle do you have it in right now? So we have a lot of unknown to is it in a variable account? Or is it the fixed account? If it's in a variable count? There's no way to make an estimate because you're trying to hit a moving target at all time. Hope that makes sense. You know you you hear us talking about variable annuities and and 41 case, you know, the market's always adjusting anything you know that can adjust its hard to hit at any time. It's hard to calculate And budget for that. There's no doubt that this causes stress because you have no way of budgeting in retirement. We can help with a guaranteed rate of return and an exact date that you can take your income on will help eliminate the stress that you're having and get you on the right road.

Why are they currently trying to defund? The upgrade of our nuclear system and deterrent system for the United States military. They are actively trying to do that right now, while Biden administration stop the sale of $500 million worth of military equipment in the Ukraine Where Russia just put 100,000 troops on the border, and why have they delayed the deployment of the of previous sales to Taiwan when the Taiwanese government when the Chinese government Today, their president or premier, or whatever the heck they call him said that they plan on taking Taiwan back. So do you think that heard insistence on the January six commission is a diversion from other things that the the party is working on or doing. Well, I'm going to tell you when Taiwan gets invaded Ukraine gets invaded. The United States will do nothing to say to try to salt. I mean, save those two centuries, our stock market will implode.

"Not a threat but a fact of history. So i have not said to my people. Get rid of your ca- discontent rather. I've tried to say that. This normal and healthy discontent cami channeled into the creative outlet of nonviolent direct action and now this approach is being termed extremists but though i was initially disappointed at being categorized as an extremist as i continue to think about the matter i gradually gained a measure of satisfaction from the label was not jesus and extremists for love. Love your enemies. Bless them that curse you do good to them that hate you and pray for them which to spitefully use you and persecute. You was not amos and extremists. For just for justice let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever flowing. Stream was not paul and extremist for the christian gospel. A bear my body the marks of lord of the lord. Jesus was not martin. Luther an extremist. Here i stand. I cannot do otherwise so help me. God and john bunyan. I will stay in jail to the end of my days before. I make a butchery of my conscience. And abraham lincoln this make this nation canessa vibe. Half slave and half free and thomas jefferson jefferson. We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal so the question is not whether we we will be extremists but what kind of extremists we will be. Will we be extremists for hate or for love. We'd be extremists for the preservation of injustice over the extension of justice and that dramatic scene on calvary hill. Three men were crucified remains. Never forget that all three were crucified for the same crime. The crime of extremism to were extremists for immorality and thus fell below the environment. The other jesus christ was an extremist for love truth and goodness and thereby rose above his environment. Perhaps the south the nation and the world are in dire need of creative extremists. I had hoped that the white moderate was see this need. Perhaps i was too optimistic. Perhaps i expected too much. I suppose i should have realized that. Few members of the oppressor race can understand the deep groans in passionate yearnings of the oppressed race. Still fewer had the vision to see. The injustice must be rooted out by strong persistent and determined action. I am thankful however the some of our white brothers in the south have grasped the meaning of this social revolution and committed themselves to it. They are still. They are still all too few quantity but they are baked in quality. Some such as ralph mcgill lily. Smith harry golden james the bride dabs and brayden and sarah. Paton boyle have written about our struggle in eloquent and prophetic terms. Others have marched with us down nameless streets. In this of the south they have languished and filthy roach infested. Jails suffering lee abuse and brutality policeman who view them as dirty nigger lovers unlike so many of their moderate brothers and sisters recognize the urgency of the moment and since the need for powerful action anecdotes to combat the.

"My citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent. Resister may sound rather shocking. But i must confess that. I'm not afraid of the word tension. I have earnestly opposed violent tension but there is a type of constructive nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth just as socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and have troops to unfettered realm of creative analysis an objective appraisal. So must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood. The purpose of our direct action program is to create a so crisis packed that it will inevitably open the door to negotiation therefore concur with you and your call for negotiation too long. Has our beloved south land been bogged down in a tragic effort to live in monologue rather than dialogue. One of the basic points in your statement. Is that the action that i am. Associates have taken in birmingham is untimely. Some have asked. Why didn't you give the new city administration. Time to act the only answer that i can give to. This query is that the new birmingham administration must be prodded about as much as the outgoing one before it will act..

"Bc left their villages and carried their the say of the lord far beyond the boundaries of their hometowns and just as the apostle paul left his village of tarsus and carry the gospel of jesus christ to the far corners of the greco roman world. So am i compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own hometown like paul. I must constantly respond to the macedonian call for aid. Moreover i am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities in states i cannot sit idly by in atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an in an escape network of mutuality tied in a single garment of any whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. Never again can. We afford to live with a narrow provincial agitator idea. Anyone who lives inside. The united states can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds. You deplore the demonstrations taking place in birmingham but your statement. I'm sorry to say fails to express a similar concern for the conditions. That brought about the demonstrations. I am sure that none of you would want to rest. Content with the superficial kind of social analysis that deals merely with effects and does not grapple with underlying causes. It is unfortunate. The demonstrations are taking place in birmingham but is even more unfortunate that the city's white power structure left the negro community with no alternative in any nonviolent campaign. there are four basic steps collection of the facts to determine whether injustices exist negotiation so purification and direct action. We have gone through. All these steps and birmingham there can be no gainsaying. The fact that racial injustice engulfs this community birmingham is probably the most thoroughly segregated city in the united states. It's ugly record of brutality is widely known negroes have experienced grossly unjust treatment in the courts. There have been more unsolved bombings of negro homes and churches and birmingham than any other city in the nation. These are the hard brutal facts of the case on the basis of these conditions. Negro leaders sought to negotiate with the city fathers but the latter consistently refused to engage in good faith negotiations then. Last september came the opportunity to talk with leaders of birmingham's economic community. In the course of the negotiations certain promises were made by the merchants for example to remove the stores humiliating racial signs on of the basis of these promises. The reverend fred shuttles worth and the leaders of the alabama christian movement for human rights agreed to a moratorium on all demonstrations as the weeks and months went by..
