Welcome to Toffy TV, well, we all know by now the Super League has been announced, 12 clubs have signed up with three more set to be announced as well and five teams will make up the 20 strong league, they will be floating members, whatever that means, with the clubs involved. Getting a share of 3.5 billion dollars, or euro sorry, just to be part of the initial sign up, which is apparently a 23 year commitment. Why 23? I have no idea, I'm not 25, but anyway, this has sent seismic shockwaves through football, the simple premise is that it will be a midweek European tournament with, as I said, 15 teams that are always in it, five teams that come in year on year out on merit, whatever that merit is, and it's a closed shop, and all these clubs will be making 200, 300 million pounds a year by just being in the league, all of those teams think that they will remain in their own leagues and play domestic tournaments, but obviously they will not be playing in any UEFA tournaments, and it's just a load of shite, it is, I might get to it in this video, I'll be honest, this completely undermines football in whatever was left of football, I know football in the last 25, 30 years has only been going one way, but this just puts the nail in the coffin in terms of football pyramids and any hope, any, like, any diminishing hope, any club like Everton had, or Leicester, or West Ham, or Southampton, or whoever, or, you know, Atlanta in Italy, and, you know, Lille in France, and this takes away that last hope of, I don't know, just being anything, because I think, I honestly think, if this was to go through, I think in 25 years, football would just be absolutely dead, dead, and you'd have this one league and nothing else. OK, let's unpick that then. I don't agree with the last statement. No, no, if this, if this, if it was allowed to go ahead, and those teams are allowed to have the power they want, I still think football will exist, because there's a lot of football fans other than these 12 teams in the world, you can talk about kids growing up and seeing, you know, the super league, which is, by the way, could they not have got a better logo? Someone's knocked that up in the bills in the past bedroom, haven't they? And therefore, you're right in, once this is up and running, and then kids growing up, will want to, this will probably be the thing that they're focused on, but the thing with football clubs is they're in every community, wherever that is throughout the world. OK, if you're not part of this, it's like, it's kind of like saying, the Southampton fans still show Southampton do, Evertonian still support, they haven't win on the Champions League, neither have they. The Champions League already, don't forget, is, it's not a close shop, but it's very difficult to get into the Champions League, particularly in England, because of the way the money has been funneled to give those teams at the top the best opportunity to stay there, it's great when clubs like Leicester come along and break that, and Leicester have done really well, but they still only played in the Champions League. Once, in the last five years, since they won the league, and they may get in this year, although it's wobbling a little bit at the moment, but they may well get back in it this year, fair play to them, but in general, the teams you go in at the Champions League are the money teams, the teams you've been at the top, the teams you take the most revenue out of the league, it's self-perpetuating every single season, so it's difficult to get in there, but the caveat to that is, there is that opportunity if you do have a good season. Now, we've heard about the way the Champions League reforms, you know, when Agnelly, the eventer's fella, he was the one, you know, was the chairman of the DECI, he was the one driving the reforms in the Champions League, but don't forget, this super league was mooted six months ago, and it was put out there, and at the time, we were talking saying it's one step down from a super league, we've been speaking about this since we were doing radio back in 2012, we were talking about this, and this has been building up to it. When they put that thing out, these clubs are looking at the super league and it was up, bro, not really happening other than them saying we've had discussions, right, and I thought at the time, that was just a pure power play to get through the reforms for the Champions League, what they wanted, because don't forget, Agnelly wanted six clubs guaranteeing the Champions League no matter where they finish, if you like Liverpool, if you Manchester United, if you Chelsea, whatever, you don't finish in it, because this club, you went to struggle, in fact, they lost again, I think, at the weekend, at the fifth hour or something, he wanted them guaranteed to get in it, without, you know, cast iron guarantees, and the others would be a flip of a coin, whether, even if you finished fourth, it was unsure whether you'd get in, they got knocked back a bit, but UEFA have offered now two free, you know, two wild cards for the best co-efficiencies and stuff, so they got that through, but the reason why this time it's very different is these clubs have all come out issued statements, they've all resigned from the ECA, they've resigned from the UEFA club federation as well, which is a separate thing, the money's been poured out and we're getting statements, we just did not long before filming this, they've agreed 23 year contracts and all that, so it really is moving into the directs that they want, and I think for them, they just want a close shop where they can pick and choose who comes in it, they've got the guaranteed money, all the club's futures are basically guaranteed at the expense of competition. Well, at the expense of the rest of football, like literally, and this is what I mean about the death of football is that I'm not saying that there's not going to be football in 25 years, I'm not saying there's only going to be one league, I think that's impractical, but what I do think is there isn't going to be a league one and there isn't going to be a league two in our country, because I just don't think there's going to be any money, those clubs are struggling enough, I just don't think there's going to be any money, because I think this is going to siphon off all the money, why, number one, I know the Premier League don't put enough money into league one and league two as it is, so a Premier League with less money, with less big clubs, less money-seeking around it, it's going to mean the death of those clubs, and if they go, then the teams that then are in the championship are going to have to start looking over the shoulder, and that's what I mean, everything is going to be focused on this, let's not kid ourselves, we're sitting here now and we're all outraged and we're saying it's terrible and it can't happen and we'll all support our clubs, but that's this generation, these football owners do not care about us as football fans, we know that, we know they don't care, they don't care about me and you, we've been sitting in our seats for God knows how many years, maybe they're everything they do, but that's because they rely on us, because we are in a super power, because we are in a super club, in a super league, but a team like Liverpool, a team like Manchester United, they don't care about their fans, they don't want people holding season tickets, we know that for the fact because Liverpool have very, very strict rules about people passing season tickets on within the family, you've got a season ticket and you die, that season ticket is supposed to go back to the club, you can't just keep paying for it, that's not how it works, they don't want people having season tickets, because all season tickets is, someone paying once a year to go to the match and nothing else, they want people turning up every week new in your seat, so that person treats it like a day at Disneyland, so they buy everything in the club shop, so they might go for a meal before the game, or after the game, or go to the museum the day before the game, or the day after the game, I'm sure they'll build a hotel on that land next to it and they want you to stay there as well, they want that trip like you're going on all of these, like a little mini break to go on what's Liverpool, it's my dream, oh it's my bucket list, Manchester United it's my bucket list, and every week they want that different person, and that's what they want, and we as fans, we expect something from our club, but the club's now attaining around with the American owners, driving it, we've come from that, the model of, you know you spoke to a few years back, you spoke to Phil Rowlands from, from Orlando, and we were questioning the idea that Orlando at the time were playing in a 60,000 seater stadium, and they'd filled it quite a few times, and then they were moving into a 25,000 and we were like what are you doing that for, cos we're English football fans, we want bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger, cut the ticket prices, not make them, and he was just like that's not how America works, America, one smaller arena's, hottest ticket in town, lowest priced ticket is $100, so that, and I know that's not always the way, but in things like NBA that is the way, and that's what they want, they want us all squabbling on ticket websites, Why do you think MLS has been shown against relegation, because these owners pay money to get in by the franchise, go in they don't want the prospect of getting relegated to Arabic, because they want that guaranteed money, and this is all this is, I've seen Louisville, I've seen you know, an American team trying to get in to the MLS, and they're having to wait, I've said outcome, Europe's got MLS before we have, you know, and things like that, because they're just looking, and that's what it is, to me though it's not MLS, to me it's NFL, It's NFL, because what NFL has shown, and the owners, and obviously the owners have shown that in the last few years, and funny enough I think actually the glazers are one of the biggest representation of what they want, they've owned Manchester United for years and years, and we know what's happened financially with them, what they've took out of them, but they look at Manchester United and they've been pouring money in for players, and all they've really got for me is a league cup in a Europa League, and they might get a Europa League this season, and they might get a Finnish second, last year in the NFL they brought on Bradian, and they won the Super Bowl, and that's what they want, they want that thing where you can just go and get that one player and change it whole dynamic, because of the way the market works in the NFL, and I think that's what they want, they see football as you've got to pour money into it, but they're going to go into a league where they're up against Manchester City who won't have any rules, but the difference is they are absolutely guaranteed in money in this, and also don't forget champions league is not always a certainty or you can get knocked out and knock out of the latter part which is obviously where the money really starts to flow for people like them, so they've shown what they want, and to me the biggest problem with this is, no matter what happens out of it, football will be changed for such a way, because the champions league have come out today and showed their proposals, and their proposals are not much better, we did a video last week for the footy show, their proposals are not better, their proposals are about keeping the money in these people's hands, but again they haven't gone far enough, because I think one of the owners of one of these clubs basically came out and said, we're the 12 biggest clubs in the world, we have the more fans than anybody else put together, and basically he said we deserve all the money, and that when you're coming from that point of view, you're showing your hands straight away, you can talk about oh we're going to give money to this or that, we know what you are, we've showed this with the international right of the money, with the top six in England, wanted more money than the rest of them, and I've seen it, it's very interesting when you're on something like Twitter and you put stuff out, the angles that people come out, I've got a few there now, if ever and the rest, you know, you tune and be different, well it wouldn't, because I'd still be going, this is disgusting, because it is disgusting, we've been speaking to the lads and the red men, they're absolutely devastated because football is changing, it's totally changing, no one, these fellas who own these football clubs like you said early on, they're not bad, they don't care about fans, they just want guaranteed money, and we still have a romantic element in football, because otherwise why would you go, the romance is what takes you there, you'll have this belief that your team can be good and can win stuff and you'd enjoy going, you want to farm that down to a sanitised pre-season friendlies, which is what it is really, and I know you're right, in a few years it'll become a thing and to those clubs it'll be important, but for us now looking at it, it just looks like to me, you're getting put in a glorified friendly scenario, there's no jeopardy on it, it's the international champions thing, that's exactly what it is, but what's quite funny is bad, and this is where I would be really disappointed if I was a fan of Liverpool, not disappointed, gutted, if I was a fan of Liverpool, and they're the high end, so if I was a fan of them, I'd be thinking, we're going to become the new Everton, no, but I would, in that competition, we're going to become the new Arsenal, or they're going to be the new Burnley, and taught them of the new palace, because quite frankly, those clubs are going to go into this tournament and they're going to sit in that league and they're not going to do anything, they're not going to do anything, because Manchester City are going to have no FFB rules and have all that money, and Real Madrid are going to be the same, and Liverpool will go from being a club, that I've probably got a 1 in 4 chance of winning the league, to now a 1 in 20, and that's on me, I just be looking and thinking, But from it, yeah, you're right, and they're obviously giving that power up, but just looking from what it'll do to the game, I mean, the Premier League obviously needs those clubs because they're big clubs, but it can't survive without them, but it has to be creative, and that'll drop down, the league championship has to be creative, and league 1, league 2, it will be a league, because it's been a league since it started, and when I love the thing going round with the Fander, you know, if you're a Fander, you're bad just on this, the rest of you don't matter, and stuff like that, because the league was Fander, now, it's how it markets, it's going to have to remark it itself, and it's done a brilliant job of that, albeit with the help of Liverpool United, of course it has, and I'm not denying that at all, and I never would, but Chelsea, when the Premier League kicked off for a no-mark club, absolute no-mark club, you know, trotting them, I've done nothing for that, I know, I like Spurs, but they've done nothing. They literally have just got a big stadium in Potatino, got them playing some nice footy for a couple of years, and all of a sudden they're in the elite, so clubs have come up and built momentum and built momentum, and you can do that, and you know, yes, six clubs are at that, huge clubs, but in the Premier League aspect of huge clubs, Premier League's still be left with Evan and Aston Villa, who are the big club, Leeds United, got big following, Newcastle, you know it, and I know I'm massively egging these other clubs up here, but big fan bases will still follow those clubs, and it's how you market that right. No, you're absolutely right. But what I don't like about the whole thing is, and people have said to me, but I still do, being there, I can't sit here and say they wouldn't, I really can't, but what I'm saying is, the thing that's disgusting about the whole thing, and I have this thing in me about injustice, I hate injustice in anything, it really gets me more than anything else. People having to go up people, and it's all, you know, that kind of thing, or people wanting everything waited in their favour, and it really, it's something I don't know whether it's in my soul or my DNA or something, it gets me back up immediately.  Because we want the money so you can do one, because all I want to do is protect my little area. Do you have anything to do with one thing that was absolutely disgusting? None of them have denied that. That's the thing I was saying. Because without all the other clubs, there is no competition. None of them have denied it. No, but the thing about it is though, you are right, and let's be honest, the birth of the Premier League was the thin end of the wedge. Let's be honest, I know it's different, I know it's different, and I know it was. I know it's different than this, but it was the thin end of the wedge, it was what started, it gave the clubs the power. And at the time, we know, in a way, what was different was when the Premier League started, the league was taking all the money, and facilities everywhere were terrible, and the clubs didn't feel like they were getting the money, and the TV deals were terrible. And the clubs wanted the power to say, right, we want to start having good facilities, we want to make football better, and they've done that, let's be honest, they've done that, the stadiums are all a lot better now. Clubs have become their own thing, but obviously what's come out of that is, those are league clubs, the ones who put themselves in a position, sadly our club weren't really even though we were part of it.  How do you like that? But this is, one thing you can say about this is that the Premier League slightly isn't, this is anti-competition, because there's no competition, because we're not allowed to be in it. And they'd be right, because every where part of those people talking about creating this new Premier League, I hate the Premier League, the way it is, the way it's gone with Sky, then too, the Premier League and Sky damaged football far more than anything else, the way it went, because football with the old face division and stuff like that, there was competition. Sky have egged on, they used the top four now, they used the top six. They've egged on those big clubs, and they buy put them on TV all the time, because obviously you've got more fans, and people want to see you more on the TV, they've made it more, they've taken away from the grassroots to local fans and give it to the national fans and now it's the worldwide fans, so Sky egged it on. Of course we were all implicit in it, we were all implicit when we all wanted our owner, our million billion pound owner, but that's because we're always trying to keep up with the Joneses, especially like for clubs like Heaven, they were one of the last ones to it, and frankly they've made a mess of it. You're all trying to keep up with each other, and then FFP's come in and FFP, let's be honest, there's the thing that's pushed them all over the edge, because FFP was the thing that was supposed to say to clubs that you can't do your own thing any more, but that's caused so much distortion in the way you use it. You've got a boss house but you're not allowed to build any more, but these people with shanty terms, you're not allowed to build any more, and there's a huge gap between them, and the Premier League has been a fault with that. The Champions League, which went from the European Cup, which originally though, that was to fight off a super league then. It was, but what I'm saying is when it was the European Cup, you've got the genuine champions of Europe in it, because they were all the champions of Europe and the best one, then it was, well, we'll let the runners up in as well, and we'll create your right to fend off, and it got bigger and bigger, and now they're trying to do reforms. I've got no issue with football developing, it has things, it has to develop, but when it's developing just to help a certain few at the expense of everybody else, it's disgusting. It's all very well-go and we'll make this European Super League, whatever, if everyone benefits, but everyone doesn't benefit. So because these clubs don't want you to have the same as them, because that thing of like, it's great. When you're on one side of the argument, when you're in the party, it's great, you're just in the party, when you're outside the party, we've seen it with Liverpool, you know, when they have money to spend and all that, and then all of a sudden, their owners were like, no, no, we're not spending money, then they're having a go with other teams for spending it. We've done the same, we've fumed, when we couldn't spend money, and everyone was laughing at us, then we got money, and it's like, well, we had a try on the spending money. You know, we've said before, really, if you wanted to make it proper competition and drum all the interest back up in it, make it exciting, salary cap everyone, give people a pot and go, that's what you've got to spend. We have called for loads of times on this channel, by the way. No, loads, and go, yeah, if you're really that good a club, there's your 100 million for your wages. How are you going to do it? This is a power, this is a power grab, it's not, you can't tell me. Arsenal, we're members, we're the founder members, never going to win it, we never going to win it. Arsenal, fell out 55 members of staff. Shaq Gunasoros. Shaq Gunasoros, took a £300 million loan off the government over every Welsh. As did Tottenham. As did Tottenham, and I've now sold the soul to get in this super league. Whilst being 8 or 9 or something, 9th in the Premier League, you know, and needing a 98 minute dodgy goal to equalise against Fulham, 18th place Fulham around.  Instead of going, no, well, let's sort everybody out. And I know clubs do it, don't get me wrong, but the biggest thing for me is these clubs now need to be expelled. There's not a chance on earth they can go. This competition is replacing the Champions League and we're still playing in our Premier League. There's no chance. There's no chance, and the simple fact is, even if you want to talk about what it would mean, if the Premier League are in a no win situation here, if day 16 stay, then they've broken all the rules, but they're allowed to stay. Premier League came out yesterday and said they'll be expelled. Every league said that yesterday, and now every league needs to say that again. And UEFA have come out and said all the players won't be able to play international games. That needs to be absolutely nailed down. So, the Premier League needs to come out now, I think, and say, right, you've actually got 28 days to resign from the Super League, or you are out of the Premier League, for me. That's what needs to happen. But the only problem with that is, and this is where the problem is, some of those teams, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, they drive a lot of finances to the Premier League. We're not stupid, we know that. They drive the international contracts, TV contracts, they drive the domestic contracts, so money will be lost. And where does that shortfall come from for the whole of the pyramid? So, let's just... So, from Evan's point of view, right, if Evan weren't building a stadium, I would be one of those people who would just be like, See ya. But my worry is, certainly in the short term is, with Evan building a stadium, and there being so much uncertainty, because this is like Brexit, there's so much uncertainty, nobody knows what's actually going to happen, because no one knows what is happening, because actually the details are really sketchy so far. But they have all resigned from the, you know, that kind of thing, so they have actually basically said, we're doing it. But we don't know when it's happening for the start, could be next year, could be year after, could be year after, I don't know. And that to me, my worry as a fan, is that we've put so much time and effort, and we know what the stadiums are future. That people were alone enough for one assurance, and we've said loads of times that stadium needs to be paid for over 30 years. Now, for us, we could say, right, well, this is a really good opportunity. We're suddenly going to be, we're suddenly going to have six teams that aren't any competition anymore for us. That gives us a real chance of winning the league. Champions League, we've got a real chance of getting into it. Of course the finances and champions will go down as well. But do what we lose in the Premier League, and what we make up for in a different champions league. But don't forget this is going to be a champions league, that's still going to have German clubs in it. Still going to have PSG in it. PSG in it. It'll still have English representation, it'll still have Spanish representation. Lost a lot of big clubs, I appreciate that. But it's a real opportunity for Leipzig. Leipzig are a club that have come from nowhere, and they're playing the Champions League now. So we used to say there's not going to, there couldn't be another Leipzig. PSG ten years ago, went a massive brand. On the first league in 20 years, 30 years, nine years ago. So, but they went a massive brand, now they're a massive brand. There will be opportunities that people will see. Now can we make that money up in the champions that we lose? What they do and what people wanted when they're lonely is, assurances you're not going to go down. So therefore again, those six teams get out of it, then it reduces your chances of being relegated so the payment is still there. A successful Everton. Listen, Everton play good football. And they're winning games. Bramley more will be full. Of course playing Liverpool, United big games, they sell out, but if Everton are doing well and are winning, people go and watch them. You want to go and watch good football, you want to see good players. So people will go. Now if the players want the move to that super league thing, then you've got to perform at the very best of the ability. Players do it now with Champions League clubs. So, you know, you have to look at it that way. There's opportunities for Everton to make these, to cover these losses by actually being successful for once and doing it. There's money will still be there. TV revenue will still be there. I said before, a Netflix style, you know, Premier League, pass 15 quid a month, which fans of the other 14 teams and everybody else will buy, which will create them a big bundle of money that then maybe they're not going to get because Liverpool and United aren't in it, but they're getting it independently. Whereas they might have got, I don't know, 10 billion a season, because Jordan done the, when he done the scale with them in, it might be 5 billion a season because the other teams ran in it, so you lose 5 billion. But guess what, that's still more than they're getting anyway. So there's, there will be challenges, there's no question about that. There's also an appetite, there is also an appetite for football.  There is an appetite for football thing. There are clubs, but you have to, it's an opportunity for everyone else to reinvent themselves and reinvent the game. I get that. But I think at the moment, certainly right now, you know, less than 24 hours after the announcement, because everything is so much in the air. We really don't know what's going to be happening. People will be, I'm sure people at Everton today will be trying to find out as much information as they can.  It's a big thing in Everton's future.  I hope they just press on with it, right? But if those clubs aren't expelled, how can these, because I look at it and go, I can't see how they can stay that. Football's dead as well. Football's dead as they stay because one of that with the Champions League, because UEFA have said their Champions League is going ahead. So would Everton play, for argument's sake, Everton is playing the Champions League, and these clubs are playing the Super League. Is that how we're working with these? Yeah, I mean the top four clubs. But then what happens to everything else? They've got to fulfil fixtures, right? I live with people going to be bothered about the Premier League then, if they're struggling in the, do you know what I mean? Yeah, but what happens, this is where the uncertainty, right? So it's on a Wednesday. The Super League are not going to play on the same night, are they? Are they going to play on a Saturday night? They can't play on a Saturday night, because the Premier League, they can't play on a Wednesday night on the same night as the Champions League, because... If the teams are in the Premier League, and are in the Super League, the Super League and the Champions League won't play on the same night because you're taking your eyes away from it. Right? So then how do you get the calendar? Yeah. Because the calendar's going to be all over the place then, right? And we're already kicking off saying, so they might go, we just won't be involved in the league cup. Oh, so you just thrown the league cup to a side either? Well, we know they're going to try and do that. But the point being is, is that you're just cutting and cutting. And then you say, we're in on the FA cup either. So you're cutting and you're cutting.  Well, there goes the league. There goes the top six. I mean, the top six is done. Now, they might turn around and go, ah, yeah, but you can all go on the Champions League. They haven't finished 10. They're in the Champions League. Oh, Sam, we'll finish 10 every season. Thanks for that. Thanks for that. I know we had like, literally like that much of a breadcrumb left because you know what? Some people in August genuinely feel like that. They get up first out of the season and they think this will be the year. This will be the year. I don't know. But some people do, right? Oh, do you think we might get top four? Did you have a little breadcrumb in October when we won four out of four? Right. So when you say now our bread come out to be we'll get 10 this season, lads. I think if we can get seven for now. Oh, you're still in it, yeah. Seventh to be the new first though. So we're like, so is that what we do now? Do we just all go, see that top six? That's not real. But Angon, that's happened before me. That's happened now. Don't forget, but as a result of the Champions League people have been kidded and thinking fourth is successful. So now it be. Then it becomes tenth. So seven to tenth is the new first. So you've got the window would be go from tenth then to seventeenth. That's a safe zone. It's pointless. That's what I was saying. They can't stay because they've already exposed themselves as to what they want to do. If they said this, if it had come out again last night, this is what we're proposing. I'd have said again, this is just a power play again to try to get this Champions League the way they want it. But the fact they've all released statements on their Twitter they've all released the statements they've resigned. The thing that they're resigning things. The resigning things are a big thing. They've got the money and the guarantees. And also, head of UEFA or one that someone from UEFA. And don't forget, Agnelly's resigned as the chairman of the ECF. And the guy from UEFA's come out and basically said we spoke to Edward on Thursday and everything was sort of for any of the proposals. And he said, Agnelly has lied to us and he said there's snakes close to us and all this. So there's relationships that are. But they've come out and said, Florence Perez is the chairman. They've got Wood Wood. Wood Wood is on the thing. John Henry is a vice chairman. It's not surprising. So what thing he glays at is a vice chairman. So already the positions are in place. So when you've put all these... He's got a boss logo. He's got a logo. But the position... How long did that take? Six minutes. Joe would have gone better if he'd just given me. It'd have been... What thing that you used to have on a kid? It looks like satin. It does actually. Maybe that's the design. So maybe that's where they can play some games? Maybe. Well, if it made the money. So they've got these things in place. So already it's way, way, way down the line. The relationships have already... They've already... I don't know anyone who could look at them. Apparently there's a Premier League meeting tomorrow. 14 other clubs. I bet you're Westambrough for it. Can we be one of the other fives there? Be interesting to see what comes. I hope the other 14 bomb them out. I really do. I don't see anybody camp her. But the problem is though, Baz, you know what football is like. You know the Westambs of the world. And the Leicesters of the world. And me, maybe even Everton of the world, which I'm hoping they don't. But you know there'll be someone sitting on that going... We could be one of the other fives. But they're not going to be one of the other fives because the teams have done, didn't they? They've invited the floating fives. But they've already... The floating fives. One of the theories, right? One of the theories of the floating fives will be the highest place team in those other five leagues. One for me to think. So we know, but Takies will vote for Christmas. But even it... But they will, Baz, you know that. Hang on, who voted for the... Who voted for the top six to have more money? No, I know. One of them because they think they can be one of the top six. Takies will vote for Christmas if you bangle something in front of them. I just don't... Me personally, I don't see how they can remain in our league and be part of this. I don't... Because therefore what you're actually saying then is there's no rules anymore. So for Everton then, Everton could go and spend us my last money now. And there's no comeback. So Everton could... But we still wouldn't be competing. Everton as a club could get closer to these in the Premier League by being able to spend three or four hundred million. You say you can't compete. You don't know, do you? You have no chance they're done. Because they've got... You have other clubs. What you forget is Baz. What you forget is... Is their money is endless. Now and now from now on... It doesn't stop the tap. It doesn't stop now and now. It doesn't stop now and now. It doesn't stop now and now. It doesn't stop now and now. It doesn't stop now and now. It doesn't stop now and now. So they'd be looking at the situation going, why are we spending any money? Never mind a lot of money. Why are we spending any money and not the other money? Is that everybody else turns around and goes, why are we doing? Because you can't catch him. So what's the point? And that's one of the big problems is that everybody... So for me now they've gone. They've got to be gone. And that isn't great. ond fel hyn sydd y statuniaeth efo'r tyfyrdd ac yn flaen. Ond ein bod yn y pethau iawn yma, mae arferwyd yn rhan yn gael...

I might say man I go we're still finishing 12 or we're still finishing 10 or or or actually now we could finish 10 and get Champions League so don't be fooled into thinking everyone's going to think those people are staying it's terrible because if you think you've got no throw we know our owner could say it and I then go we don't actually think we're going to win the league but actually these staying gives us a better chance for winning getting into the Champions League and that isn't that where you's all want to be we don't think we can win the league we can't we can't beat Man City to Lee there's no way I'm used to say we there's no reason why we our owner wouldn't say that there's no reason why West Ham's owner wouldn't say it there's no reason why Leicester's owner wouldn't say it even though they've won the league there's no reason why Palace or something about the Premier League is saying no I know I know but don't I wouldn't be fooled into thinking that these owners of all these other clubs will think this is a bad thing because if you think you've got no chance of winning league at the beginning and the people who bring the money to the Premier League that pay your way this was the same argument with the young the exact same argument the television like no I absolutely agree if you're doing this if I agree past both those clubs saying that and accept these six doing this then we may as well all stop going and stop watching because what's the point there's no competition and it's done it's done no no I agree I I agree with that I agree with that but we're coming from an angle where we still think everything can maybe win but I'm talking about just Leicester becomes less likely. Leicester's won right West Ham no chance leads no chance. Your Southampton like genuinely your Southampton do you think the league is better without these clubs or with these clubs now with these clubs you could get Champions League because they're not going to Champions League and if you finish 10th you can go to Champions League and you're keeping your money right and they might buy one of your players for double the money that's what I'm saying these clubs can all be fallout raised when you really put those numbers down on the paper and that's I'm a little bit worried about that actually that's what worries me is that these get to stay because they keep the money on board because don't forget as well right past if these go out and spend their super league money they bring those players to the Premier League and that's what worries me so for us it's dead it's dead but haven't we maybe been kidding ourselves that it was dead anyway that's the worry for me honestly that is the worry for me that don't forget it's you've got to have all those other votes the Premier League might end round go we'll leave it up to the clubs if I'm a Crystal Palace if I'm Crystal Palace is on it I'll Southampton's on it but if the Premier League turn around and say they're expelled there's not no no and I agree because that's a competition I agree I'm just saying I'm just a lot of clubs have already give up they've already given up we know this maybe and that's the worry me we can sit here and we can be anti-competitionist and anti-some of them are just doing the numbers if you think about it from a league perspective they turn around and go yeah you can do what you want they're opening the door for them to do whatever don't they do what they want anyway but this is the chance isn't it this is this is literally the chance to to get older it again no it might be right I agree I absolutely agree maybe they will just I agree I just I just think that a lot of people who own football clubs are businessmen cold hard businessmen who think to themselves money is the key of course when they after you have to keep the club running but the same token you can't just have people decide on what to do no and if you do then it gives them the money though but it's finished they give them the tv but that was why to keep them happy if they well if they do with this it's over isn't it it's over it's done it's fully done and dusted and everyone needs to just throw their hand there I just I just wouldn't be starting the product I just 100% wouldn't be that that convinced that everyone's going to have the same outrageous fans because ultimately these clubs are run by business people and if they think it's worse for business that these six teams leave but that's not what the biggest problem is right now and again I'll use I'll use the the brexit and all his years you know uncertainty is a killer they say the market doesn't like uncertainty it doesn't matter whether the final decision is good or it's bad no no it's the uncertainty it's the uncertainty in the in the middle of that business doesn't the market doesn't like it makes the market fluctuate fluctuate all over the place right and that's when we'll know what's actually going on and until we finally get I think they've been very clever that they're keeping the details as as low as possible just I think they're just trying to and this may be the only only hope at the moment is that the the details are so scarce that they're just trying to scare people into giving them even more from the champions league because at the moment you think about it we don't know when it starts we don't know the other teams are we don't know what the makeup of those are the five clubs are and you'd think that we'd know all this by now because because then other people can make decisions and I think they keep so that you walk those teams walking to that Premier League meeting tomorrow they don't they honestly probably don't have a clue what's going on same as what we do they'll just know six clubs think they're staying in the Premier League because that's what they're all they're like yeah we're staying staying and I think that's the problem and until we get those details I think it's gonna it's gonna keep everything all over the place and I think that's what these want I think these want people losing their minds over this and it's gonna be very interesting how it plays out so it is disgusting it is it is it is it's it's gonna it's gonna completely distort the game one way or another one way or another it's gonna completely they're either gonna get the power using this or they're just gonna get the power anyway through some altered champions league but for the rest of us we'll just be feeding off the scratch when you put it out that you're leaving a you know a competition you need to be gone the Premier League have said if they go in it they're exiled expelled so the Premier League needs to expel them but can they expel them till they go in it well they've they've been greater haven't they they've they've all put statements out it's out there all the details now in it and there you go let us know your thoughts on the Super League and that's a terrible lot I'm not sure they spent a lot this is the saving grace you know that that's that logo that's the level of it if they spent real money on a logo I'd be worried I'd be really worried let us know your thoughts and let us know you you know you are you worried about the effect it could have on Evan or he's just like no let them all go let's get on with it and let's start winning some trophies it's it's it is a very worrying situation and I'm sure people of the club feel the same that you go let us know your thoughts in the comments make sure to give this video a

It is amazing, the gifts that the Lord has given so many and we've all been able to receive this amazing scholarship. And I hope you're as inspired as I am to read more, to study more, to pray more, and to benefit really from all of these wonderful men and women who have worked so hard for these degrees. And this morning at 1030, our firstborn is defending his doctorate. And I'm just so proud of him and so proud of his wife who has hung in there through many babies and many challenges. It takes a lot to get through it. But yes, I don't come with that degree. So I thank you for giving me an opportunity to share. Let me just offer one quick prayer. Lord Jesus, we thank you for the concluding talks and mass before we're scattered back to not only the four corners of our country, but other countries as well. We ask, Lord, that you would keep opening our heart to the treasures of the church and we thank you that you've not left us to just wander around and make up Christianity as we go, but that you have revealed truth through those successors to St. Peter and you continue to lead and guide your church. Bless this time together. In your name I pray, amen. You know, the first night Scott said that in scripture we've got prophecy that isn't simply foretelling the future, we have that. But even more, the norm seems to be a lot of foretelling. Proclamation, through our baptism, the Catechism tells us we've been baptized into Christ as priest, prophet, and king. And so his calling of being a prophet to proclaim the truth as a witness is something in which we share, every one of us. How do we do that today? I'm gonna give it a particular focus because this week was the 50th anniversary of Humane Vitae. If you are sitting there saying, hey, I'm not married, so I guess I could check out. This isn't gonna apply to me. I wanna tell you that our holy father wasn't married when he issued this. That there are many, many single people that married couples need you to encourage us, tell us the truth, and maybe find other ways to give us practical support. If you're sitting there saying I'm not married yet, and I'm too young to be considering these things, I wanna tell you it's so foundational.  And for the rest of us who are sort of slogging it out right in the trenches, but perhaps hitting the grandparent stage, it's still important that we remain steadfast, that we can tell our children and our grandchildren the truth about openness to life, and then how, pray for the ways that we can support them in that. Now where were you 50 years ago when this was promulgated? Well, I was a 10-year-old Protestant girl. I didn't even know where babies came from yet, let alone what contraception might be. But I do have a recollection that the front page of the paper must have said something like Catholic Church rejects the pill or something like that, and my mother picked up the paper with a certain amount of disgust and said, oh my gosh, when is the Catholic Church gonna get into the 21st century? That's a pretty vivid memory. In 1968, it was in the middle of the sexual revolution of the 60s and the 70s, and with the advent of the pill, there was so much confusion. Was the church gonna change? Was the church gonna get with the times, enter the 21st century? And there were priests who thought so. And they were telling people in the confessional, you're fine, you're fine.  And I've talked to those people who came to a new understanding later. There was tremendous pressure on the Pope. Even the committee that Pope John the 23rd had drawn together wrote a majority report that countered what was the perennial teaching of the church, and many, many bishops even weighed in and encouraged him to see this as a new time and to have a new way of looking at things. Blessed Paul the 6th pulled back, he fought, he prayed, and he released what is only an 11 page document that rocked this world. If you have not read it, please read it. It's really a profound restatement of the perennial teaching of the church. And if it ignores, if we ignore and to a certain extent we have the very clear teaching, what you see is a prophetic witness of what will happen. And I'll get to that in a few minutes. When it was first issued, one of the criticisms was, oh it's so outlandish to say that if we don't follow this teaching, all these terrible things are gonna happen. And in fact he was very prophetic. 25 years ago we were part of a celebration of the 25th anniversary of Humanae Vitae out in Omaha, Nebraska. And a priest shared a brief testimony. He actually had been part of that group of people that had a coordinated effort to counter the teaching the day it was released. He was at Catholic University, along with many other priests and professors who gathered on the steps and basically said, we will not teach this. We will not follow this. I had no idea there was so much opposition, let alone coordinated opposition. And he was there to bear witness to it and to repent publicly for having been a part of that. And in God's beautiful way, this year Catholic University celebrated the 50th anniversary of Humanae Vitae with an outstanding conference, supporting it, encouraging it, telling people they need to follow it. In 1979 when my father, who was the Presbyterian pastor, met with Scott and made to go over all kinds of things about marriage, one question among many was, what are you doing about contraception? I told him I was on the pill in preparation for getting married. And he just had a brief comment. He said, is your dad, I have some concerns because of the medication, but he said, as your pastor, that's fine. And we just moved on to the next topic. After we got married, August 18th that year, we headed off to Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary where Scott began full-time studies. And after a year, I began to work on a Master of Arts in theology. I signed up for an ethics course. And in this course that the professor had said, we're gonna go over general principles, but everybody will pick a current topic of interest to you. And that's what you can focus on for a special paper. I had done a number of talks against abortion, speaking at youth groups, speaking in people's homes. And there was a lot of misinformation about life, but some of it I was even promoting. I had someone who came up to me and said, what about contraception? And I said, look, you've got to separate these issues. There's contraception before a baby's conceived and abortion is killing the baby after. And then someone very kindly, politely, let me know that I really didn't know quite what I was talking about and that there were forms of contraception that were clearly abortive. And so as I gave those talks, I could see there were issues I wasn't getting into. And so I thought, ah, I can even get course credit for this. This is what I'm gonna do. So birth control was on the list of topics and a group of seven of us actually out of the class met in the back of the classroom. I guess this man thought he was sort of the self-appointed leader and he said, well, it's a Protestant seminary. I don't see any Catholics here. So hopefully we all think that contraception's fine. But he said also hopefully we're all pro-life so we wanna rule out the forms that could be abortive. So probably barrier methods are the only things we could support. Announcing the conclusion of a study that hasn't been done yet. And I said, why do you say because none of us are Catholic? And he said, well, this is something that the Catholic Church says is wrong. And so if we're not Catholic, then we don't have to take that seriously. And it was the first I'd ever heard. And I have Catholic friends. But I'd never heard that contraception was wrong. I said, well, why do Catholics think it's wrong? He said, there are only two reasons. He said, number one, the Pope isn't married. So he doesn't live with the consequences. And he said, second, Catholics are just out to make all the Catholics they can in the world. Would to God that were true. And all I could say was, I can't imagine a thinking person giving those reasons. And he said, if you wanna know why the Catholics think what they think, you go ahead but I couldn't care less. So I took it on as a challenge. I began to study and read and pray. When I came home even that night and Scott said, oh, what issue are you gonna look into? Because he had taken the course earlier. And I said, oh, I'm gonna do contraception. And he said, that's not even an issue, Kimberly. Little did we both know how much. One of the many things I read with Shumane Vitae and in the opening paragraph, just his greeting, it's so cool because he doesn't just greet the Catholic faithful. He greets all people of goodwill. And that included me. You mean he was actually talking to everybody? That was interesting. He spoke about peace of conscience following God's design for marriage. He spoke about the abundant fruits of tranquility and peace that come from self-discipline and about preserving the peace of men's souls by following truth. I mean the topic today is on peace in our homes. Could contraception or rejecting it and embracing God's beautiful design for marriage actually be part of peace within our homes? By reading the document, and we'll unpack it a little bit, it began to expand my vision about marriage and the act of marriage. And it showed me the beauty of the marital embrace in saying yes to God and no to myself. First he spoke about God's beautiful design. Man and woman created in the very image of God. And if you think about it, God wasn't alone and he created man and woman because he was lonely, okay? God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit was a communion, is a communion of life-giving persons. And it's this life-giving communion of persons that called man and woman into existence and didn't just call them into existence, but he blessed them. He blessed them and commanded them to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it. He made them in his image so that the two could become one and then the one they become could actually, as Scott said the other night, need a name. The two in one become three in one, a family. And it's an imitation of Almighty God. It's an invitation to become life-giving lovers and life-loving givers. Now Scott and I had used very traditional wedding vows, committing ourselves to each other, in joy and in sorrow, in sickness and in health, in plenty and in want, for richer, for poorer, as long as we both shall live. But as I read this document, I was struck by the fact that it was giving an explanation of how we would be living out that vow because when you think about children, it demands all of it. Shared joys and sorrows, a whole lot of money. Giving ourselves, even in terms of health and possibly sickness, we were called to collaborate with Almighty God in the creation of new life. And this new life would bring joy and, as he said, difficulties and hardships. So embracing God's beautiful design for marriage actually gave new fullness to the very vows I had taken. And it did raise a question for me because I realized I had never considered how did scripture speak about children? If you have a Bible, you can turn to Psalm 127. My first revelation was every passage I looked upon children was only and always positive. In fact, even passages that talk about miscarriage or stillbirth only spoke of them in negative terms. It wasn't like a relief to anybody that they weren't gonna have to raise that child. It was sadness, but children were just joy, joy, joy. So I'll read a couple of quick passages here. Psalm 127, starting in verse three. Low sons are a heritage from the Lord. The fruit of the womb are reward, like arrows in the hand of a warrior or the sons of one's youth. Happy is the man whose quiver is full of them. He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gates.  Look at Psalm 128. How does it describe the godly man beginning in verse three? Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house. Your children will be like olive shoots around your table. Lo, thus shall a man be blessed who fears the Lord. Is this the way we think about children in our culture? Was this the way I thought about children? Even as a committed Christian who was studying theology, I was very challenged. Children are only and always a blessing. One of my good friends, Molly Kelly, was married to a wonderful Catholic physician and they had eight children. And her children were ages 14 down to 14 months when her son was killed in a tragic sledding accident. Like one in a million odds to die in a sledding accident, he was killed. And we talked about that loss. She said, even though there were so many children to care for after he died, if I could have had more, I would have. Even knowing that he would die because every child refracted our love in a different way. And every child reminds me of Jim in a different way. Children are not a possession to acquire.  Children are not an adventure to take. What we've done our travels, we've conquered our careers and now the new adventure on the horizon is parenting a child. Children are a gift to receive. And the catechism says this in 2366. A child doesn't come from outside as something added onto the mutual love of the spouses but springs from the very heart of their mutual giving as it's fruit and fulfillment. With every child you fall in love all over again. And the funny thing is, as you share that love and that child shares his or her love with you and then you have another child and now the love just keeps getting multiplied, the only logical thing is to be open and having another one so you can share it all over again. And this is just as true in adoption as it is from the children that come forth from our own bodies. That child isn't added on but springs from the heart of marital love. Now, there's a Vatican II document that says something really unusual about children. I just had to really think about this one. A child is a gift from the heart of marital love. Vatican II says this. God will admit it's best. Children are, quote, the supreme gift of marriage and contribute very substantially to the welfare of their parents. Now think about that. You know you contribute to their wellbeing. They couldn't survive without you. You don't walk from the hospital and say, okay, now sweetheart, your room's second door on the right. Food's in the fridge and I shop on Tuesdays. That child is dependent on almost everything except breathing and keeping their heart going and for some children they even need help with that. But do you know that they contribute substantially to the wellbeing of their parents? How? Well, when we first got married, I think Scott and I both thought we were pretty selfless. We were ready to jump in and honor this vow and you realize sharing life with another person at that level has challenges. And you realize you are more selfish than you thought you were. But I can tell you, it's nothing compared to having a child. I mean, Scott did not wake me up in the middle of the night and demand to be fed. You know, he... You find out that it's a challenge. How do we refer to children in our culture? One of the most common words that I hear associated with conception is the word accident. Accident? You know, they'll say, was this child planned? No, it was an accident. When you hear accident, what do you think of? Pain, damage, destruction, dismemberment, death. I mean, the image is pretty dramatic but if you have your Bible's open, look at Ephesians 1.4. Do you know there is no such thing as an accident when it comes to a child? Oh, you may not have lined up your thinking with Almighty God. So you may be surprised. But I love this passage from Ephesians 1, starting in verse 3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and blameless before him.  It's really not relevant whether or not someone plans to get pregnant. Almighty God did. And pregnancy is a communion with the mystery of life. I remember so many beautiful opportunities when my children would be big enough in utero that they would be moving around and I could feel it. I'd be in a crowd, somebody's talking, maybe you're hearing a talk and all of a sudden that little one starts moving around and it's like a world within you and no one else knows.  You look at Psalm 139 and the poetic description of the creation of a child is so beautiful. It evokes such wonder and awe. This is a soul that will exist for all eternity, no matter how brief a life, no matter how brief. Now, Cumana Vitae refers to natural loss several times and that was something new for me. I benefited greatly from a book by John Kipley called Sex and the Marriage Covenant. He explained it for me. He said there's an order to things. A purpose God has given everything and so for us to have moral, sexual health we need to act in accord with the purpose that God has made for sexual intimacy and here was his image, okay? He asked the question, why do we eat? What's the purpose of eating? Well, we can give lots of reasons why we eat, right? We're hungry, it tastes good. We wanna celebrate, we're sad. It's there and looks inviting. I mean, there are just so many reasons to eat, aren't there? But why would we eat something that's almost repulsive? What would make you eat something horrible if it meant life or death, right? In other words, we eat for nutrition. That's the primary end of eating. In Roman times, we know that in some of their feasts they had tall vases in the corners. They were called vomitoriums. Yes, they would sit and feast and if they wanted to eat more they would go over in the corner and empty their stomachs and then come back and sit down and have more. Now today, if someone eats and makes themselves throw up or if they deny themselves the food they need to sustain their life, we call those eating disorders. It's not ordered for the purpose of eating. It's a very good use of that natural law term. Well, what do we do in sexual relations? We experience oneness. We say that we want to give ourselves to each other and yet in the same act in which I'm saying to my spouse, I am totally yours, you're totally mine, I am saying, except for your life-givings firm, I reject your life-nurturing womb. We have the possibility of speaking one of the most profound truths we can speak with our bodies. That complete gift of self. And yet with contraception, we are vomiting out the contents. We're damaging the sides of the uterus in some cases even affecting an abortion. So instead of speaking that most profound truth, we actually are speaking a lie. We're deciding what's good and evil and doesn't that ring a bell? Doesn't it take you back to the garden? Where is God in this decision? You know, the interesting thing I realized at this point in my study, Scott and I had talked about children but we had never even prayed together about when or how should we get married and be open to life? It, for us, we thought contraception was actually an act of Christian stewardship. This was all new. It was really fascinating. Then I discovered something else. Do you know that before 1930, every single Protestant denomination agreed completely with the Catholic Church's teaching. 1930, think about all the centuries even when there was disunity from the Reformation. Every one of those people and the denominations that spun off from them were in union with the Catholic Church when it came to the act of marriage. What happened in 1930? The Lambeth Conference over in England, the Anglican Conference decided that just for life of the mother, a couple could use contraception. At the end of that year, St. Pius XI gave a beautiful document. If you've not read it, I would urge you to read it on marriage and it covers much more than just openness to life. But this is what he stated categorically, quote, any use whatsoever of matrimony exercised in such a way that the act is deliberately frustrated in its natural power to generate life is an offense against the law of God and of nature. And those who indulge in such are branded with the guilt of grave sin. I don't know to what extent you have understood this before, but in my prophetic call due to my baptism, I am declaring to you today, this is the truth of Almighty God and you and I must live in conformity with it and our culture desperately needs us to speak the truth in love about this. The Catholic Church, and I want to be very clear, condemns contraception and non-medically necessary sterilization. I actually had a man come up to me at a conference once and say, I know contraception's wrong, but sterilization? Like, yeah, yeah, but at a different conference, I had a wonderful woman who came up to me afterwards and I had said something about, you can't be a cafeteria Catholic sort of picking and choosing. She slipped me a note and walked out and the note said, I have a sterilization scheduled for next week. I'm canceling the appointment, the cafeteria is closed, which is so beautiful. Yeah. One of the things Pope Paul VI does in the beginning of this document is he says a number of different current issues that were part of bringing this issue of contraception to the fore and saying, does the church really have the right, the authority to speak to the culture about these particular issues? And he makes it so clear that the church has the authority of Christ to always speak timeless truth into the current time. Now, when I read that, I remember thinking what church? I mean, yes, Jesus founded the church, but what church? I mean, do you really think the Catholic church? The Catholic church is willing to take this stand on this issue, even though it's not popular, even though many Catholics are not following it, she never stops proclaiming the truth to us and it's impressive. I remember saying to Scott, doesn't that blow your mind that a church this big risks saying this? Can I quote you? And he said, even a blind hog finds an acorn, Kimberly. But we both know that as our minds began to be changed and our hearts, this ended up being a part of our journey, opening up our hearts to the fullness of the faith within the Catholic church. Marriage isn't a human invention, it isn't something we made up. God has a design and it involves one man and one woman as husband and wife, not cohabitors. And we are, quote, ministers of the design established by the creator, Humanity 13. To do what? To give ourselves exclusively to each other for love and for life. To cooperate with God to create new life who we also commit to raise faithfully as sons and daughters of God. And to nurture an enduring and fully human love that meets the demands of the vow and grows into very deep unity. We're not just one because we have sex. We are becoming one, one in heart, one in mind, one in spirit, never ceasing to be to individuals. But there's a beautiful plan and you can read more about it in Kasti Kanubi of really growing into what does that unity of life mean? It's exclusive, fruitful and faithful union. In number 11 of Humanae Vitae, Blessed Paul, the sixth is clear, quote, each and every act of marriage must remain open to the transmission of life. God's will is to be done God's way. And it is a prophetic sign for us to live this and proclaim the truth to it. Like there was one time we were on the plane and we had all six children, so we were on, I think, three different rows, scattered a little bit, but each one was helping each other and it was a lengthy flight, I think, from California. At one point, the woman behind me said, how many children do you have? There are a lot of people calling you mom. And I said, oh, I have six. And I think it's always important to communicate the joy you have in your family. People are not as quick to give you a consolation about a large number if you seem joyful. And it's easy for me, I was joyful. And so anyway, as the plane landed, I overheard a conversation between two women. One woman said, how can she be so happy with all those children? And before I could answer, the other woman said, don't you get it? Because she has so many children. And it was like, yes, that's awesome, that's awesome. It's not just against God's law to deprive this gift even partially of its meaning and purpose. It is, quote, repugnant to the nature of man and woman. We are not animals. Don't buy into the idea that we're just monkeys who think a little better. We were created and designed in the image and likeness of Almighty God. And we've been called, if we've been called into marriage, to reflect that life-giving love. This message is not just for Catholics. It's not even just for Christians. This is a human thing. Jesus said in Luke 9.23, if any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. And yes, at times, you may have to insert and take up your baby daily and follow me. It is challenging, but this is what brings the Lordship of Christ into such sharp focus. Scott and I took the Lordship of Christ so seriously. We prayed about tithing even though we had so little money. We gave up our Lord's day and didn't study, even when we had finals the next day because we thought we needed to honor God on Sundays by laying down our work, which at that time was our studies. We wanted to honor God with our resources and we opened our little tiny apartment and had people over and were hospitable. But we didn't even pray about whether or not he needed to be Lord of our fertility. What were we thinking? We were thinking like Americans. We weren't thinking like Christians. Jesus calls us to embrace discipleship more deeply. 1 Corinthians 6 19 to 20, St. Paul says, do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit within you which you have from God? You are not your own. You were bought with the price, so glorify God in your body. We need to glorify God in our bodies through chastity. Marital chastity, which means we commit this beautiful, holy act within marriage to him as well as chastity outside of marriage, not giving our bodies in an act of marriage apart from marriage. Many Christians do not know this because we are not living this well. We have to find the way to share this and we have to find the way to live this. We have a mission. This is what Humanae Vitae says in number 10. Conjugal love requires in husband and wife an awareness of their mission in responsible parenthood. Now what is responsible parenthood? From a contraceptive mindset, it's make sure you don't have babies when you don't want to, plan when it's gonna be convenient and make sure you end it when you're done because you don't wanna have a child you haven't planned. According to the document, it actually means understanding how our bodies work. It's not possible to get pregnant every time you make love. So God's design revealed in nature is not that you get pregnant all the time. If we pay attention to how our bodies work, we will understand a particular rhythm and I'm not talking about the rhythm method. I'm talking about a particular rhythm. Second, we engage our reason and our wills to exercise self-control. Third, considering physical, economic, social, and psychological conditions of both husband and wife, both are valid, both need to be considered and we pray together. Responsible parenthood is exercised either by the deliberate and generous decision to raise a large family or by the decision made for grave reason and with due respect for the moral law to avoid for the time being or even an indeterminate period, a new birth. Yes, we engage our minds. Yes, we engage our self-control but understand that responsible parenthood isn't even reducible down to using natural family planning. Natural family planning is wonderful. I highly recommend people understand it for all kinds of reasons. Responsible parenthood is also saying yes to Almighty God. I will serve you. I will be open. It's developing a right conscience and being faithful. What were the predictions, blessed Paul VI said, if people did not follow this? Marital unfaithfulness will become easier. Do we have any wonder in the last 50 years how much infidelity has occurred, how many divorces have resulted? Second, abortion. At the time he wrote this, only four states in the United States allowed abortion in the early part of pregnancy. Colorado, California, Oregon and North Carolina. Since 1973, it's been legal in the States all 50 states, all nine months. Third, premarital intercourse will become more frequent and moral standards will lower. How many couples engage in casual consensual sex? I remember one time Jay Leno was walking around doing his Jay walking thing and I don't know why but he was asking people, do you go to bars to get picked up? And he asked one particular woman and she said, every weekend. And he was a little surprised at the response and he said, do you even know their names? And she said that would be much too personal. Too personal to know the name, but not too personal to give your body. How many couples who are coming to be married in the parish are already cohabiting? When you think they're practicing NFP, the sin of having sexual intercourse outside of marriage compounded by the sin of contraception, compounded by a very lousy witness to anybody who is aware that they are living together, they're getting married with strikes against them. They're already cutting off the grace that they might be thinking they're getting as they go to mass. And I've had people tell me just the goal is to get them to get to the wedding altar and then it'll be okay. It's like they need to understand there's something to repent of. Men may lose respect for women. Using a wife for selfish enjoyment rather than loving her as a respected and beloved companion and using women outside of marriage. I mean, do we actually even need to go through the litany of how in this bizarre time where women are supposedly pushing for greater respect? At the same time, they're permitting unbelievable objectification of us. The whole Me Too movement shows how much objectification is going on. Increased human trafficking, even in little Steubenville. And certainly pornography is an example of that. And finally, he spoke of the danger that if contraception is legal, political authorities might possibly impose it on people. And there's certainly been a lot of conversation about whether or not justices could impose sterilization for people with mental illnesses and mental handicaps. We have got to address our culture. Blessed John Paul, the sixth knew what he was talking about. And for all those who mocked him for being extremist, we now sadly have the facts about what happens when you don't follow the church's teaching. The church defends the dignity of man and woman and the act of marriage. She proclaims the truth about marital love and she wants to help all faithfully proclaim the truth that she has received from our Lord and gives to us. This is how we have a truly human civilization. Now, he closes with all these incredible pastoral directives. And the first one is speaking to married couples and he talks about the mission we need to embrace to come alongside other married couples. And there are a lot of wonderful ministries that are active, you may be active in them. Couple to couple leagues one, people who teach the Billings Method is another. There are other resources, parish programs that encourage marriage in general and then address this. But what we need for self mastery, sorry, what we need is to develop self mastery. And that's what will bring greater peace and serenity to the family. It helps people become more thoughtful and less selfish. It deepens our sense of responsibility and it gives our children a great example. It's not about the numbers and I think that's really crucial. You know, Mary and Joseph had one child to raise and no one says they didn't do their part. Okay, I once was at a conference where a woman introduced herself and you know, I wanna give anybody credit who has 12 children, okay. But the way she introduced herself was speaking as a woman who's been more generous with God than most. I was sitting next to a woman who had conceived eight times. She had miscarried six times. She only had two children to raise and I just watched her physically wilt. And I leaned over to her and I said, you can't be more open than open. I will give this woman who had 12 credit for continuing to be open, but let's be frank. God's the one who gave her 12 children, okay. Now she said yes and she's raising those 12 but let's not get into a numbers game. I remember one time my sister, Carrie, had called. We had just had a baby, I think our fourth and Carrie called to say she was expecting number six and my Gabriel turned to me and he said, we're losing. I'm like, Gabriel, we're gaining, we're gaining a niece or nephew but they're going to have more kids than us. It's not about the numbers. We need prayer.  We have access to the sacraments and Pope Paul the sixth says, get to the sacraments, get to confession, get to the Eucharist and in his admonition to the priest, he calls my beloved sons. He's like, make these sacraments accessible to your people, encourage them, strengthen them. Now how do we live this beautiful design? I've got six and a half minutes. I'm gonna see how fast I can get through this. My favorite passage, if I signed a book I'm likely to have referred to this one as Romans 12, one and two. And I'm gonna read verse one and verse two and just flesh it out a little bit. Okay, St. Paul begins, I appeal to therefore brethren by the mercies of God to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. This is a matter of the grace of God, the mercy of God. St. Paul doesn't say, so buckle up, dig down deep, it's gonna be really hard, but you can do it. He is saying by the grace of God you can be a living sacrifice. This is an invitation to the cross. God's mercy helps us keep the law rather than exempting us from it. I remember one of my friends was in confession and she was confessing the sin of contraception and the priest said, you've got five kids, God love you, you've done enough. No, he couldn't, he didn't have the right to authorize what isn't authorizable. That was not the mercy of God. The mercy of God speaks to our hearts, gives us strength to say yes, I will follow you. Yes, I will pick up my baby and follow you. God reveals truth to us, how to honor him. And we get to be a living sacrifice. Now, when you say yes to God, you say yes to everything, but we don't know what all of that entails. I remember thinking about this when I was pregnant. I said yes, I want to be open to life and God blessed us with a baby. I really didn't plan to be nauseous most of the day and could I be nauseous as I get up to go to the bathroom before I even get back to bed in the middle of the night? That would be good.  And then let's not do that birthday old fashioned way. Let's do C-sections, we'll go low with the first few and then just to change it up, we'll go up and down for the next ones so that as the doctor said after he finished and I came to, he said, well, look at it this way, it's like an anchor. Yeah, that's what I hope to have on my body for the rest of my life, an anchor. We say yes, but we have no clue actually, all that we are saying yes to. And yet we don't have to know. It's an invitation to put ourselves upon the altar. This is an act of worship. I am giving you my very self and this is both husband and wife, even though obviously as the woman carrying the baby, I have the most challenges physiologically, both of us are up with the baby at night. Both of us are facing the challenges of parenthood and for us, he felt those additional financial pressures. It's man and woman saying, yes, I will follow you. And you know what's so difficult is that we aren't dead yet, okay? So when those challenges come, when those pinches come, our tendency is to wanna crawl off the altar. Okay, I said yes, but I'm not this much, I don't think I can do this. And God in his mercy, especially through the sacrament, says yes, you do. You want to conform to the image of my son. Come on, get back up on the altar. And verse two is such a crucial part of understandingness. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. We are so close to our time in culture, we don't realize how much we're influenced, how we view women, how we view men, how we view the act of marriage. And it should be called the act of marriage, not just sex, because it's only supposed to be in marriage. How we view that intimacy, how we define marriage. We are swept up in misunderstanding, and so we've gotta have our minds renewed. Part of why you come to this conference is to have your minds transformed to think God's thoughts after him. I have a friend who works at a bank, and I said, how do you catch counterfeit money? She said, well, when they first train you in a bank, they have you touch a lot of real money, and then they slip in a little counterfeit, but it's only when you touch a lot of real money that you can, by feel, you can know what's counterfeit. I thought, that is the perfect illustration for us. The more truth we touch, the more we dig into sacred scripture, the more we read these documents that come from our holy fathers, the better we grasp truth and then when we see or hear error, we can address it. We want to do God's will. This is what proves God's will. Now, 50 years later, where are we? Four final thoughts. We have to be who we have been called to be, faithful and fruitful. We must embrace God's beautiful design for marriage. This is what will bring hope to our families, peace to our families, even peace to our society. Second, we need to grow in our trust in Almighty God for the sake of our souls, our lives, our marriages, and our children and grandchildren. Fertility is a blessing to be embraced, not a disease to be cured. Third, we recognize that compromise limits our freedom to prophesy to our culture. We are called to be prophetic witnesses, where we have ever committed the sin of contraception, sterilization, or abortion. We must repent. We've got to get to confession and do business with Almighty God and walk in the freedom that we will have. He will give us grace to be obedient. And fourth, we need our priests and our bishops to proclaim faithfully the truth and to offer us real help in the grace of the sacraments. For Scott and me, we are so grateful for the church's teaching, for her prophetic forth-telling to us, even as non-Catholics, the truth about marital love. We did change our minds, we changed our practices, and we are so grateful for the children that God gave us. We actually conceived nine, but three have gone before us. And I remember talking to my Joe, who's our fifth, he said, when did you lose the baby right before me? And I said, it was only six weeks before you. And he said, so if that baby had lived, I wouldn't be here. And I said, that's true. And he said, I'm really sorry that baby died, but this way you got to have us both. Close with this verse, Proverbs three, five and six, or five to eight, trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways, acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes. Fear the Lord and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.  Amen.


The next time you look at tights, certain paints, or even plastics used in window frames, you may want to think about the raw materials from which they are made. Do you know any of these materials? Pause the video, think, and resume when ready. If you set nylon for tights, you'd be right. If you set polyurethane, you'd be right for paints and coatings. Finally, plastic window frames are made of PVC. These contain a plasticizer, allowing the frames to be easily molded. All of these materials require adipic acid in their production. Usually, benzene is used to make this compound, but unfortunately, benzene is carcinogenic or cancer-causing. Instead, glucose and a special enzyme extracted from genetically modified bacteria can be used to produce adipic acid. What do you think is the advantage in doing the synthesis in this way? Pause the video, think about this, and resume when ready. An answer is that glucose is harmless and is essentially sugar, so conducting the synthesis in this way protects the workers who would produce this compound by coming into contact with carcinogenic benzene.


So anytime the market is open on any given day, any given week, any given month, the market makes vast amounts of money available to anyone who has the capacity to put on a trade. And since the markets are constantly in motion, this money is also constantly flowing, which makes the possibility for success greatly magnified and seems like it's just within your grasp. Between the two groups of traders that consistently profitable and the others is what Mark Douglas calls a threshold of consistency. The money is not only within their grasp, but they can virtually take it at will. Think of like Michael Jordan playing basketball. I mean, he just looks so smooth when he takes a shot. He makes everything look so easy. Consistent traders do the same thing. They make it look so easy that people come into trading and think, oh, this is no problem. I'll just click the mouse a few times, boom, boom, boom. And I'm going to become consistently profitable. But what they're not seeing is what's going on in the mind of that consistent trader.

Right. I mean, there's just something fundamentally wrong. Yeah. About that. I think as a human trait whereby you go to the amusement park wherever it is, it doesn't matter because they all do it. Yeah.  It might be 40 minutes. It might be an hour. It might be two and a half hours. Who knows? Depends how busy it is and how popular the ride. Yeah.


So it'll be other people who can do what they can do that can eat back first. Now the best part of our job is to be able to take care of some water. I would plan that if anywhere right now at this time, because the vehicles cannot reach that location, too far away they're either flooded. All of your food, water, support that stuff will be airdropped before we land into the air. About a hundred pounds, 200 pounds. Let's say a hundred. Wouldn't it be bad if we tried to stow it right here in this little gap? Yeah, slide prop in that way. Probably prop up, see the prop? I was gonna say, we could probably even get one coming this way too, just to make sure everything's good to go.


Hello and welcome to the session I am Deepika here. Let's discuss the question which says a cylindrical bucket 32 cm high and with radius of base 18 cm is filled with sand. This bucket is amputated on the ground and the conical heap of sand is formed. If the height of the conical heap is 24 cm, find the radius and slant height of the heap. Now we know that volume of a cylinder is equal to pi r square h where r is the radius h is the height of the cylinder. Volume of a cone is equal to 1 by 3 pi r square h. Again r is the radius and h is the height of the cone and slant height of a cone is equal to l which is equal to under root of h square plus r square. So this is a key idea behind our question. We will take the help of this key idea to solve the above question. So let's start the solution. Now we are given a cylindrical bucket 32 cm high. So this is 32 cm and with radius of base 18 cm is filled with sand. Now this bucket is amputated on the conical heap of sand is formed. Now the height of the conical heap is 24 cm. So this height is 24 cm. The radius and slant height of the heap. So given height of the cylinder is equal to 32 cm. Radius of the cylinder is 18 cm. Therefore volume of sand in cylinder is equal to volume of cylinder. So this is given by the formula pi r square h. So this is equal to pi is equal to 22 upon 7 into r square r is 18 cm that is 18 into 18 into height is 32 cm. So volume of sand in cylinder is 22 upon 7 into 18 into 18 into 32 cm cube. Now this volume of sand and we have to find the radius of the conical heap. Therefore volume of equal to volume of sand in conical heap. Now volume of sand in cylinder is 22 upon 7 into 18 into 18 into 32 cm cube. And this is equal to volume of sand in conical heap. And we know the formula for volume of a cone. This is 1 by 3 into pi take pi is 22 upon 7 into r square into h. Now the height of the conical heap is 24 cm. Now we will solve this equation. This implies r square is equal to 18 into 18 into 32 upon this implies r square is equal to 18 into 18 into. Now 4 can be written as 2 into 2. So this implies is equal to under root of 18 into 18 into 2 into 2. So therefore r is equal to 36 cm and this is the radius of the conical heap. Now we will find the sand height of the conical heap is given by r is equal to that is the radius of this conical heap is 36 cm. We will find the sand height of the conical heap. Now sand height is given by the formula under root of h square plus r square. So this is equal to now h is 24 cm. So this is 24 square plus 36 square because radius is 36 cm. Now this is equal to now 24 square is 576 plus 36 square is 1296. So on adding we get this is equal to under root of 1872. Now let us factorize 1872 we get this is equal to under root of 4 into 4 into 3 into 3 into 13. So under root of 4 into 4 into 3 into 3 into 13 so this is equal to 4 into 3 into root 13 of the conical heap equal to 12 cm. Hence the answer for the above question is the radius of the conical heap is 36 cm. The height of the conical heap is 12 root 13 cm. I hope the solution is clear to you. Bye and take care.
