Hello America. Welcome. It's Eric Erickson here. Can we can we start with an open container Friday at this point?

My goodness gracious. We're almost there. A three day weekend for most of us. The full number 8779-9-7-4-25.

As always, text Eric to 33-777. I'm going to shift my notes around here. I want to play you. It's a very famous clip from a very

famous movie. It's also a great play. It is a man for all seasons is about Thomas Moore, who

wound up losing his head. The author of Utopia advised Henry VIII until he did not

lost his head, refused to recognize the divorce of Queen Catherine so that Henry

the 8th could marry him. A lot of pressure put his way. He ultimately went to his death and he was

made a saint by the Catholic Church, a very devout Catholic. This is a line. You've probably

heard this before if you didn't know where it came from. It's called the devil's speech in a

man for all seasons. Arrest him.

For what?

He's dangerous. For libel, he's a spy.

Father, that man's bad.

There's no law against that.

There is God's law.

That God can arrest him.

While you talk, he's gone.

And go he should if he were the devil himself until he broke the law.

So, now you'd give the devil benefit of law.

Yes, what would you do?

Cut a great road through the law to get after the devil? Yes! I'd cut down every law in England to do that. Oh? And when the last law was down and the devil turned round on you, where would you hide, Roper? The law's all being flat. This country is planted thick with laws from coast to coast, man's laws, not gods, and if you cut them down,

and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds
