How James Biden Invoked Joe Biden's Name to Secure $140M Deal
"Here's an interesting headline in the Biden's brother was hired to broker secret $140 million Saudi deal when Joe was veep. Docs revealed. Now I want to commend the New York Post because they do great reporting led by the inimitable Miranda divine on Hunter Biden, the Biden cramp crime family, all the various rackets from Ukraine, to China, and now Saudi Arabia. But this latest headline is an article, but it refers to the reporting of the daily mail. This is the daily mail in London. They apparently broke the story and what is the story? Well, first of all, it's interesting that the story comes out in a dispute between two parties that seem unrelated. One is a construction company that is called hill, a hill international. And this company is having a fight with its lawyers, and its lawyers are called Langford and Reed. Now, what is the fight about? Basically Langford and Reed says the following. They say that the hill international company made a big deal in Saudi Arabia. I did a major construction project. We're owed a 140 $1 million. But the Saudis evidently for whatever reason refused to pay there was some problem or some argument. And so there was a negotiation going on between the lawyers, which is Langford and Reid and the Saudis about getting that money. And the lawyers thought that they had worked out that the Saudis would not pay the full amount they'd pay a $100 million, but suddenly heal a national win silent and go, no, no, no, let's just drop the whole matter. They kind of forgot about it. They acted as if to say they never got any money. And as it turns out, and this is really what Langford and Reed is alleging, hill international thought of or different scheme. We know how to get this money out of the Saudis. We'll hire James Biden and leveraging his relationship and of course his access to Joe Biden, who's the vice president, will get the Saudis to offer us a deal under the table, and then we won't have to split the money with our lawyers.

Johns Hopkins University will soon be leading a study looking at whether magic mushrooms can potentially help people who are trying to quit smoking cigarettes. It's being carried out thanks to a $4 million grant from the national Institutes of health. The first time in about 50 years that such a study involving psychedelic drugs is getting federal funding. Matthew Johnson, a Professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University, will lead the study looking at whether it's psilocybin, the psychedelic compound in magic mushrooms can help smokers quit.

But two small early studies published this week indicate the new omicron boosters may not offer any better protection than the original. CBS News medical contributor doctor David agus says that these studies should be taken with a grain of salt. I think what's really important is that we have immunity at a high level, which booster will do, and that it's broader immunity, which this booster will do.

Of course, he's editor in chief of the Milwaukee Business Journal. But filling in today is reporter Sean Ryan. Well, a lot of people have been waiting for it, and it's finally here. It's the Ryder Cup. What is this going to mean? Overall for? Let's say the hotels around Milwaukee and close by? Yeah, for hotels around Milwaukee. This is a big impact. You talked about people who have been waiting for the sports events. All this is a big business event for those hotels. This will be A week in a weekend where those hotels in Milwaukee and sort of around the region have lower no vacancies, even with amped up room rental rate. So it's kind of a feast will be a temporary after more than a year long famine thanks to the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic. We've been looking at the most recent data for hotels in Milwaukee and the most recent ones we ever for the week ending September 4th and occupancy levels where around 58% then I mean, that's better than the highs of around the upper 30% at this time last year, But those figures should really be closer to 80% in a normal time. Imagine your business that's operating that more than 30%. Drop in revenue and after Several months of things being even worse than that. So here comes a weekend where you're able to ramp up your prices, charged more and still count on selling out your inventory. So, yeah, it's a big deal. I'll be it only for a few days, but certainly a big deal for the hotel industry. Well, let's move downtown a little bit. I understand that there's two apartment developments that are kind of pending and one is what 32 story building. That's right. A big 32 story property that would be right at Water Street and ST Paul Avenue along the river, sort of at the gateway of the third war. There, so kitty corner from the Milwaukee public market, So you have 323 apartments in there, but also they would have a lot of restaurant and retail space. Big Project $140 million. And what are the basics of these projects? Yeah, there's others pending in the downtown and they're all kind of going for final approvals from the Common Council next week. There's a second one that Big from Milwaukee, but not big compared to a 32 story buildings that would have 15 stories with 220 apartments on a site that's between the river and the performing arts center's parking structure there in your water street, and these are all new developers coming into the market, proposing buildings that would have well health and we priced will say apartments and, you know, expecting to bring them on in the coming years, and, of course, expecting to rent them out. What are some of those rents going for? Yeah. For the Heinz building and third war that 32 story building. They're going for about $3 a square foot. So that's probably the higher end of the Milwaukee apartment market, even though rents are continuing to climb here. So that is up to about 2500 month for saying 835 Square Foot, one bedroom If you go into a three bedroom quartering units, you're approaching $5000 a month for that. Now our developers worried that there are just too many luxury apartments being built downtown. Yeah, that question has been asked pretty much of any hearing I've seen so far that new third Ward building and the developer Hinds there from Houston. They're familiar with the Milwaukee market because they built Northwestern Mutual's luxury apartment tower downtown. And for a long time since 2018 When it opened, it was the only real sort of luxury high rise housing you can find in the downtown market, at least for apartment. And now we have three more in the pipeline. There's the one that they're proposing a third war. There's the couture and a sense that are both under construction. So yeah, there's questions about whether the market can absorb that. And I've heard folks in the industry be, you know, skeptical on that point, But then you look at these investors for homes behind family behind the real estate firm is putting their own money into this. They're using their own real estate investment trust to finance it, and you're seeing other outfits. States parties putting money into the couture and into a scent as well. So there are folks that aren't really invested in Milwaukee that are coming from walking and investing for the first time in these towers, and it's because they like the data they're seeing. Apparently, I mean the housing market data out there showing there's none met the NAND for luxury apartment units and so far doesn't look like things have tipped the scale where supply without wage demands. What does the demographics of the people who are renting or going to rent these apartments? A lot of it is baby boomers and in that reference Cents a big segment of it, folks who, you know, have their house out in the suburbs and, you know, maybe don't want to have all that maintenance or all that property and they're saying, Okay, Well, I'm going to sell that. I'm going to move to, you know, a nice luxury place downtown be closer to some of the amenities there. Also, young professionals is another segment. I mean, a lot of these are sort of one bedroom, smaller units, which helps with the pricing on them For sure. You know the demand from young professionals. A lot of that is going to hinge on just the ongoing ability of downtown to attract more companies and jobs to and you know, so far, there's been pretty good figures on that front this year. Do you expect to see that same trend of luxury apartments continue even in the suburban areas in the suburban areas, we saw at least one luxury tower proposed. And while a Tosa which has very hot apartment market right now that one wasn't accepted by the city, they said it was too big and we haven't seen Lot of high rise, but we have seen A lot of sort of mid rise to two story town homes being proposed still in the suburbs as well. I mean, there's a lot happening in Oak Creek. We just got wind of another one going on in Franklin. So yeah, that market is still active as well. I mean, folks are seeing that demand and some of it is they're seeing the prices of single family homes and the availability of those continue to be in short supply. So they're expensive in their house so hard to come by. If you want to actually buy a home versus rent. They're saying that sort of amping up demand at least the current timeline. For people to event instead. Well, Sean Ryan from the Milwaukee business Journal. Thanks for helping us for Mark cast this week. It's always great to talk with you. My pleasure. Thank you.

"It's all being driven by the highly infectious delta variant of the disease, and it represents a radical turn from where the country was just two months ago. So today, President Biden delivered an unequivocal message to Americans get vaccinated. To that end, he announced a variety of new rules, including several mandating vaccination in many workplaces here with us now to talk through. The administration's strategy is White House coronavirus response coordinator Jeff Science. Welcome back to all things considered. Well, thank you for having me officer so I want to start with the part of this plan that addresses businesses in the private sector. The Rule now is if an employer has at least 100 employees. They'll be required to ensure that their workers are vaccinated or get tested at least once a week. How exactly will you enforce that? Well, so I think I want to start with the fact that vaccination requirements work. The president read vaccination requirements about a month or so ago, Uh, starting with, um the Department of Veterans Affairs, Healthcare workers at the Department of Defense, Our military and The National Guard and what we have found that in the federal government, and we're seeing across the private sector and at universities and colleges and other health care institutions is a vaccination requirement. Need to hire vaccination rates, unvaccinated people getting their 1st and 2nd shot right. But how will you enforce vaccination requirements in the private sector. In this case, the Department of Labor has The responsibility to make sure that workers are safe. And workers are In risky environments right now, workers and over 100 employee firms. Across the economy are going to be required to either be vaccinated or being tested at least once a week, and that's part of the Department of Labor's responsibility given That they are in grave danger. They have the responsibility to implement a rule that will I do get their responsibility. But again, how exactly will they enforce? That. How will they implement that responsibility in terms of enforcement? OSHA can take enforcement actions that can include substantial fines after tens of thousands of dollars per violation, Okay, And how much compliance do you expect from the private sector on this? You know, I'm I expect compliance with again. Uh, this is the rule that will be finalized across the coming weeks. Employees will have a period of time those who are unvaccinated. Who decided to get vaccinated will have a period of time to get vaccinated. And you know, I believe that, as I said earlier, the vaccination requirements needs a much higher rates of vaccination, so employers, many employers have already embraced them. And we expect more and more of producing them as they see that Mr Science because a lot of companies and local governments have already imposed their own vaccine mandates before today's announcement, and the Pfizer vaccine has received full approval. Are you a little bit disappointed that at least up until now, Those particular factors haven't driven up vaccination rates significantly. Let's step back for a second in that we do have 75%. Of people 12 and older. All Americans, 12 years of age and older 75% have had at least one shot, and in August, a number of people receiving their first shot. Was 14 million Americans. That's up from 10 million The Prior MMA, some more and more Americans are getting vaccinated. And the vaccination requirements will accelerate that trend. I want to start to talk about booster shots because I know that part of this plan is to start offering booster shots on September 20th. And this week, the W H O director called for a moratorium on boosters for the rest of the year worldwide. Can you respond to criticism out there that states it's unethical for the U. S. To give boosters to people who already have significant vaccine protection. When so many people around the world have not even had their first vaccine shot. So I think that the answer here is we need to do both. We need to protect Americans. And you know the FDA Food and Drug Administration, the CDC. Will determine the timing of booster shots who gets a booster shot. But there is likely in need, You know the federal government's top health and medical experts Believe that Americans will need a booster. So we need to protect Americans while at the same time helping to vaccinate the world. We've already shared 140 million doses. With 90 countries. That's more doses shared with the world and all other countries in the world combined. So that is US leadership. We are executing on a Purchase that we made to donate 500 million Doses of the Pfizer vaccine 200 countries that need it. The most Those shipments have already begun and we're not stopping here. We're working to build a robust supply chain to expand. Manufacturing across the globe and will continue to do more and more to help get people across the globe back so we're not safe at home until the world is vaccinated. At the same time, we're going to do everything we can to protect the American people. That is White House coronavirus Response coordinator Jeff Signs. Thank you very much for joining our show today. Thank you for having me. Mm. The world changed after the 9 11 terrorist attacks, especially life on the borders, panic that foreign terrorists had easily entered the United States.

"Is Jamie Edwards, co founder of Cloud Break Health. Jamie. Thanks so much for joining us today. Thanks for having me Brittany. So for those who are not familiar with you in your business, give us a little background on your entrepreneurial journey and how that led you to start your company. Sure that 1st 10 years of my career or done in investment banking and private equity. I realized back in college, I had taken an entrepreneurship. I I got to write my first business plan, and I became enamored with the CIA. The idea of entrepreneurship, taking an idea and making it real and having that impact other people, But what I realized is my financial skill set really wasn't up to par and I never wanted to be in a situation where CFO could pull the wool over my eyes, or I wouldn't understand a financial statement and needed someone to teach me the lexicon. So I went into banking and private equity and worked on that skill set for 10 years And then I started doing some consulting for a gentleman who was my uncle, and he had founded an emergency department management business. This back in the early nineties, and he had managed the business for 10 or 15 years and was very impressed by my skill set of understanding Ibadan revenue and cash flow and how PowerPoint excel work. And I was able to, you know, start doing some consulting for him and moved him in his home office to a real office and really started to legitimize the operations of his company. He eventually asked me to come run the company full time. And so I left my investment banking, career and private equity career to go do that, and over the next 10 years we ended up building one of the leading An emergency room department. Staffing groups in the country went from 12 million revenue to 140 million over that time period. And while we were working on that business, we came across this other company called the Language Access Network. The language Access Network was founded by a gentleman named Andy Panels back in 2000 and three and he really pioneered the video, medical interpreting market or bringing an interpreter to the point of care for limited English proficient and deaf patients. I became enamored with the business really loved the mission of it, and I saw the way that it could scale even more than the emergency department business could not could impact even more people. So we ended up the business was a public entity. At that point in time, they had done a reverse merger into a public shell to initially finance it. We need up taking it private, spinning it out of its public shell and then focusing on growing the business and over the next six years, I ran both M A and language access. And grew language access network from a company that was doing 30,000 of revenue a month. The one who was doing around 12 year We ended up doing a series a financing at that point with Kayne Partners whose are private equity fund here in Los Angeles and used the cane funds to really grow the business and business grew three x over the next three years. We did that financing. Back in July of 15 and the company has now grown from doing, you know. Call it 30 encounters a month to doing more than 85,000 encounters a month. We're doing that at over 1000 hospitals across the country back when we did the cane deal we rebranded. The company is cloud break health tie everything in a bow at the end of the story, And you know the mission of cloud breakers to humanize healthcare, and we do that by bringing technology to patients and providers that allow them to communicate better. And so for those who you know, might want to start a business and haven't been in the finance world. Maybe what you said is little over their head. Give us the quick elevator pitch of cloud break health cloud break health is unified telemedicine business that's doing 85,000 encounters a month at over 1000 hospitals. The technology can be used not only to bring an interpreter to the point of care, but now can bring a tele psychiatrist. I tell a stroke physician. The whole goal of cloud break health is to resolve healthcare disparities, and we do that using technology to connect people and that's really the future of where the health care business is going. Absolutely, um, were you kind of would you say ahead of the curve on this one? And how did you kind of really disrupt his industry? Yeah, definitely ahead of the curve. And, um, you know, sometimes behind the curve, which is part of entrepreneurship is trying to figure out how to catch up, but we were the first people in the country. To use the telemedicine platform to bring interpreters to the point of care. We were the first people in the country to bring a language interpreter into a telemedicine call. And so we had this pioneering spirit all the way throughout the company's history to the point where we actually wanted Patrick soon Shiong Innovation Award in 2000 and 16 for this concept of unified telemedicine, which is bringing all the specialties together on a single platform. Telemedicine. One point I was pick up the phone. Call your doctor. We're all familiar with that one telemedicine two point I was bringing video to the table and saying, Well, how can we make this more personal? And how can we make it more efficient Because 70% of communication is nonverbal. So even on the phone call, you don't get all those body cues and facial sentiment cues that help us inform What? Someone is actually telling us so telemedicine three port always what we called unified telemedicine, and it was having a platform that's available on PC, Iowa, Sir. Android and that really allowed Health care to be accessible anywhere any time and at a cost that people could afford, and the business was so fast paced and you guys grew so fast would advice Jeff for entrepreneurs who are kind of in that fast paced growth. Yeah, one hang on for dear life because they're going to be things that as an entrepreneur you can't plan for so the things I usually tell people or one be an optimist. I think it's really important in entrepreneurship to be a believer. And you know when you believe that passion tends to really come through, and when you're talking about your business with other people, you're an optimist, and you're focusing on the positive because trust me, there is plenty of negative as an entrepreneur to be focused on And if you wallow in it, you'll just lose all that momentum in progress that you want to want to make. So one be an optimist, too. I kind of have this thing I call, you know, Ask the girl out. Remember in high school being intimidated when I wanted to go and ask him went out and kind of put my heart into something. That was a risk right? And entrepreneurship is all about risk taking. So I feel like if you're being passionate about your business, and you're putting your heart into it and putting it out there, even understanding that it could be broken. You'll be that much more successful in delivering a messaging and building a story that people really want to be a part of because at the end of the day, all of our businesses as entrepreneurs are personal and.

They've got you know Durant and Westbrook and Harden and Ibaka. They have been back to the final films. And so I like we can project all this stuff up down the road, But for the most part, if you have a chance to go for a title, I say you do it. What? What's interesting is as you look at you know what's coming. I'm wondering Where did the Warriors stack up in the West? Just say they keep Wiseman and they're getting back Clay. And maybe they add of Bobby Portis type of free agent signing with the mid level or somebody to get somebody in the mid level. They got their picks. Uh, How's the West? Shaping up? Is Phoenix the new power to Wes or we're going to get, uh, kind of a more status quo. Uh, you know, totem pole in the West once everybody's healthy next year. Here's the question. Does Robert ever want to give Chris Paul even after Championship? $140 million over the next three years? Like notoriously cheap? Don't out, Right? Exactly Like even with the championship? It might be a thanks like I'm sorry. You watching campaign Are you watching Devin Booker? Look, Are they going to keep campaign facts? You you know, like I mean, they got they got DeAndre Ayton extension coming up. This this offseason like they're going to have to pay some money here and so I think Phoenix will probably keep it together if they win the championship. Maybe if they don't, but I don't think it's a lock that they're going to be a powerhouse forever. Or at least for the next few years and so, like the Warriors should be in that second tier. If they're healthy, like if we're getting 75 or 80% of clay next season, um, that that should be enough to have them in that, like 4 to 7 range in the Western Conference, especially like you know who I might might not be back. And then your boy called Georges. You've got to lead a team by himself. That never goes Well, how she always took a shot of my guy, Paul George. I mean, he's not wrong.

You gotta make $40 million to pay people. You don't like 20 Million and change. Oh, fine. Play quarterback. Yes, I'm coming back up through it through their eyes. They don't like you who covers the pack. Dammit! Rob Tomasky, who? Supposedly He's got a real tight relationship. Put it at less than 5% chance that he put that Rodgers plays for the team this year. Less than 5%. And so what does he think that in game is was you think y'all come in, then he retires. We're just trying, But I will say this I Rogers is weird and everything, but I blame the Packers. Um, you know, first of all last year against Rogers came out and said that Jake Kumerow was a lock to make the team and they cut him the next day. All right, you know, and you've got a PR staff. That's like nine deep and they got like Roger's wouldn't have any quote so they wouldn't see. So it's some plausible that they didn't know that. He said that the day before so communication breakdown number one Most important guy in your building player. Wise makes a statement and you're gonna make a move The next day that flies right in the face of his statement. You may want a least pull me aside and just tell him why you're gonna cut him And the same thing with Jordan Love in the draft. You know he's sitting there going, I'm gonna get a wide receiver. They're gonna help me wanna win the Super Bowl and then all wait a second. They're not helping me win a Super Bowl. They're setting it up for when I'm done in there. And what no communication that that was the plan. I mean, that's their right, and it's in and maybe even their obligation, but they gotta communicate. Give life's about communicating, especially with People that mean an extraordinary amount to your bottom line, and he's one of them. Solution. Yeah, I mean, look, eh? Yeah. Look, if everything's being equal, Yeah, you probably should. You know what they can do? They're not They communicated to him. They communicated $140 million to him that that's how much he means to them. That's what they communicated to him. Somebody paid you $140 million. Then they're telling you, you're our guy. And we think you are the guy in the NFL. Now, if you feel like you're owed a plan Maybe you shouldn't have signed that deal to begin with. Maybe you shouldn't have signed that extension to begin with. Maybe you should have said, you know what? Maybe it's better off. I go someplace else. And play. You had that chance. But now you've already signed the contract. You're give reaping the benefits of getting the checks. And now what? You've got to have control of the team, the A gay guy. I gotta know what's going on. I mean, look, they're doing what's best for the team, not what's best for Aaron Rodgers. And maybe that's where Aaron Rodgers is upset. Is he sees a guy like Tom Brady down Tampa. They get Tom. It's like, Hey, let's get Brown. Let's get wrong. Let's get this guy. Let's get that guy. Let's just go. Let's go all in for a couple years and see what the hell happens Post. Maybe that's what he was like. Yeah, maybe that's what he feels like. Should be done in Green Bay. Like screw the future. I don't care about the future. I'm not going to be here. Let's do its best for the Packers. While I could help you guys win a championship, and I guess that's understandable from his standpoint, but they're thinking about it as We got to make sure this thing is rolling after Aaron Rodgers is here, and that's why we're going to get this quarterback because we think this could be a guy much like when they drafted Aaron Rodgers and burnt far was there pure bred, farmed and think to kind of them dropped in Aaron Rodgers. But it's worked out pretty good for the Packers in that Aaron Rodgers won m V P won a Super Bowl. I don't know if Jordan love can be that guy. I have no idea, but they got a look at the long term implications of everything they do So obviously, Aaron Rodgers has started to see the end. Of the road, you know, maybe 45 more years. He wants to maximize that as much as possible. He wants a chance to win a championship there in Green Bay, and he feels like they should give him every available option. Win that championship and they haven't A B B. B. Frank. They have not done a great job of that. If I'm a Packer fan, I'm not real thrilled with how they've run the organization because I'm with Aaron, and that Would do a better job of putting things around him to help them win a championship. But they don't always to you what they owe you was those big ass checks every couple weeks that I'm sure are bouncing. So from that standpoint, look, either you play there or you don't play there. You retire and give $23 million back or here's an idea. Maybe don't sign the extension to begin with. Don't go someplace else Did you see the Bears go after him a little bit this weekend, Ryan Pace puts out Yes. We talked to Andy Dalton before we made the selection of Justin not lay. Listen, wait a minute. The bears. They don't need to get involved in this in no way, shape or form. Okay, give the Bears finally did something reasonably smart and competent by getting Justin field. And now all of a sudden you feel like you want to get in and get these jokes off you just you're still the Chicago Bears. All right? You are still looking for a quarterback and hope that you get a franchise quarterback for the first time in. Oh, I don't know. Half a dozen generations, Okay, because you still went out and got Andy Dalton. All right, and tweeted out that he was QB number one. So don't nobody want to hear from the Bears trying to be funny. You still stink. Shut, IRS shut up. We talked any don't Yeah. Good. Stop talking. Stop finishing third. That's that's that's like the Texans. Get me and talking about the Niners quarterback situation. Yeah. Would you guys would have been stupid to take Matt Jones? I don't want to hear from you. You dumb You're the Texans. The same thing with the Bears. You're not funny, All right? It is funny. It's not funny because it's coming from the Bears. You're the wrong messenger. Give that job to somebody else.

"J f dot org's And by the listeners and members of KQED Public radio. It's coming up on 8 47. This is morning edition from NPR News. I'm Rachel Martin and I'm Steve Inskeep. In his speech to Congress last night, President Biden cited a forecast that the economy may grow by more than 6% this year. I'll be the fastest pace of economic growth in this country and nearly four decades America's movie. Moving forward. But we can't stop now. This morning. New federal numbers show the United States hitting that 6% pace, at least at the start of the year, the economy grew at an annual rate of 6.4%. In the first three months of 2021. NPR's Scott Horsley joins us now, Scott Good morning. Good morning, Steven. What's driving the growth? Consumer spending is the biggest driver. Of course, it's always a huge part of the U. S economy. And a lot of spending was off limits during the winter months when the pandemic was in full swing. Since then, In the last three months, the public health picture has improved, and that's leading to stronger economic growth. Diane Swann, whose chief economist with the big accounting firm Grant Thorn in Chicago, sums it up is more shots. And more shopping. The biggest shift has been the ramp up in vaccinations and back to back emergency aid in stimulus packages. Those back to back relief payments put $2000 in most people's pockets, and at the same time more than 140 million Americans have now received at least one shot against the coronavirus. So they're feeling more comfortable going out and spending money. So what's the outlook is we try to finish the year at that six point percent rate of possible It's It's pretty good. We could see even stronger growth in the spring and summer. A new infections have started to fall in the last week or so, and you're seeing restrictions on restaurants and other businesses being eased. People have also saved a lot of money when they couldn't travel or eat out as much So we expect to see a rebound and tourism and entertainment spending during the summer. Sometime this spring GDP could actually get back to where it was before the pandemic. There are some challenges, though The strong rebound in consumer demand is stretching factories and delivery networks. And so we're seeing all kinds of shortages from steel toe lumber to computer chips. We could see similar shortages on the services side. If people start flocking to restaurants or hotels before they're fully staffed up for business. Forecasters do think those bottlenecks will eventually work themselves out, but it could take a little while. Well, if there's going to be bottlenecks in some places and shortages of workers in some places, does that mean the employment picture is improving? The job market is improving, but it's got a longer way to go. You know, employers added more than 900,000 jobs in March. April's figure, which will get next week could be even better. We need another eight or nine months like that to make up for all the jobs that were lost last year on that weakness in the employment sector is one reason the Federal Reserve is continuing to Offer very strong support for the economy with interest rates near zero, for example, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell told reporters yesterday, even though the economy is improving its not yet recovered from the coronavirus recession. Economy is a long way from our goals, and it is likely to take some time for substantial further progress to be achieved. Just this morning, Steve. The Labor Department reported another drop in weekly unemployment claims. That's a good sign because it means fewer people are being laid off Those claims. They're still really high by historical standards, though, and as of mid April, there were 16.5 million people receiving some form of unemployment aid. That includes more than 5.5 million on emergency programs for folks who've been out of work Maura than six months. Really Good reminder. Scott people still out of work. People who owe back rent back.

Their uniforms aren't going to be different. It was just that teal Clarify was their alternate jersey and they're blacks were their primary home jersey. They're just gonna go and flip. Those two's that Essentially, teal is what you'll see. Almost every home game in the black alternate will what you'll be seeing more rarely, which I think is a good thing. I think the teal was their signature for such a long time, They tried to distance themselves from that, starting in 2012. It's over the last eight year they tried to be less steel and more black. And I think you know if you're the Jaguars and Teal was what the fans love, and they were your glory years. Why distance yourself from those going back to them is really cool. I would love to see them go back. The unit is that they wore during the Fred Taylor, Mark Brunell and Keenan McCardell, Jimmy Smith, Tony Boselli days the late nineties early two thousands. It was little better little cleaner than what they had when they first started as an expansion team mid nineties. A couple of years later, they eliminated some of the stuff on the sides. They just looked great. It looked clean. It was beautiful. I'd love to see them actually go back to that. But in lieu of that, I think just having your teal home base primaries is really cool. I think it's really, really cool and I think for the Jaguars fan base You know, you really do get to feel as though there is a reboot happening. You've got obviously the number one pick in the NFL draft. I have to assume that's Trevor Laurence. We will talk more about that coming up an hour from now because there's now more and more reports surfacing that Multiple NFL. GM's like Zach Wilson more than they like Trevor Laurence. I can't quite understand that, but let's assume you get Trevor Laurence. You have Urban Meyer. Now is your head coach. You try to turn the page You got till uniforms back. This could be a good fresh start for Jags fans who have been served up a healthy dose of terrible for about 10 years now, maybe longer. Yeah, longer than that 15 years. So I want to talk about here, though, to start off this hour. Shack Barrett and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because While the casual fan is obviously going to focus just on Tom Brady winning a Super Bowl, and maybe they know Gronk because he's very popular NFL player Really the essence of this Buccaneers championship is about their defense. And whether it was a stupid by Tom Brady or luck by Tom Brady to land in a place that had an elite defense. That was as important, if not more important than Tom Brady's play. Now, Tom Brady's His aura, his confidence He definitely took the belief to the next level in that locker room and without Tom Brady there. The Buccaneers don't win a Super Bowl, so this is not to take away from number twelve's hand in this, but this is just too once again. Highlight that the defense that Brady had was as significant as Brady's football. The defense was as significant, if not more significant than the offense. Because that defense went to New Orleans. Had three interceptions of Drew Brees. That defense went to Green Bay. And largely grounded the best offense in the NFC and the EVP, an Aaron Rodgers. And a whole host of weapons that the Packers bring to the table. And that defense went to Tampa. State in Tampa and play the most dynamic offense in the NFL. And the best football player in the NFL. And gave them only three field goals. That defense was Equally or if not more important than Tom Brady's offense. To win this championship. But That defense could lose significant players in this offseason. Specifically shack, Barry Who became an absolute pass rushing monster. And some are projecting him to gain to earn Maybe 135 200 of $40 million contract on the open market. He's a free agent. And maybe about 70 million of that guaranteed. Now Tampa Bay that went all in tow, win a Super Bowl. How are you going to find $140 Million for shack, Barry? This past year. He was on a one year $15 million deal a lot different. He had more pressures than anybody in the NFL. Besides Aaron Donald this year pro football focus put out this stat. Erin Donald had.

California authorizes more than $140m in payouts in alleged fraud highlighting department in crisis
"Unemployment claims from prison inmates have cost California $140 million. At least 35,000 unemployment claims were fraudulently made on behalf of prison inmates costing California $140 Million and paid out benefits. The Sacramento County D. A calls it one of the biggest fraud of taxpayer dollars in California history. The claims were made between March and August and even include one of the name of convicted murderer Scott Peterson. Prosecutors were tipped off by listening in on recorded calls from prison as inmates bragged about scamming the system. This scheme always involved someone on the outside to facilitate the applications, and prosecutors say the problem is compounded by dysfunction at the California Employment Development Department, which does not check unemployment claims against a list of prison inmates, as many other states do.
