This is the Daily Civil Podcast for Monday, May 15th, I'm Virginia Allen.

This year already, three big banks have failed in America.

But financial expert and investor David Bonson says Americans need not worry about the safety

of the money in their bank accounts.

Why does Bonson says that the recent bank failures that we have seen this year are very

different from the financial crisis of 2008?

Bonson joins me on the show today to explain why these bank failures aren't necessarily

of concern to the average American, but why we do need to pay attention to them and how

they're affecting financial markets.

He also shares some common financial advice that he says most Americans don't understand

and stay tuned for our conversation up next and I'll never forget just being fearful

for my life.

Let me phone calls, emails, protests outside the shop.

I remember sleeping on the floor of my bedroom, seeing the headlights driving by just wondering

if someone was going to carry out on some of the threats that I had seen in emails.

Here I am on this journey, hopefully to protect not only my right to speak freely, but

everyone's right to do just the same.

We spoke with her and with Christian Baker Jack Phillips about their cases and about

what's at stake for the First Amendment.
