What Is the Richmond Promise? Executive Director Chris Whitmore Explains
"What is the Richmond Promise and what are your goals with the organization in the community? Absolutely. So Richmond Promise is a post -secondary access and success initiative that launched here in Richmond in 2016. And Richmond Promise is actually an initiative of the Richmond City Council. So our, our city leaders created Richmond Promise and created our organization using $35 million in seed funding that has been on a pay schedule here at Richmond Promise over the course of nine years. And so our seed funding that the city council secured for us actually sunsets next year. But as a post -secondary access and success initiative, our goals are to help young people in Richmond access higher education pathways and educate young people about what higher education pathways exist for them to access. We support students with a scholarship that is applicable for up to six years of their undergraduate experience. And our scholars, and that's a scholarship of $1 ,500 per year, again, for up to six years of a student's undergraduate education. And our scholars can use that scholarship at any not -for -profit and accredited two -year college, four -year college or university or career technical education program throughout the United States. Now I'll talk about that a little bit more. So that's higher education access and scholarship support. When our students are in college or are in a career technical education program, we also support them with scholar success programming. And this is wraparound support to ensure that students not only get accepted into a degree program or into a career technical education program, but they're also supported to ensure that they earn their degrees, earn their certifications. And then after they've reached that milestone, and this is a growing portion of our organization, we are building out our career access and success programming to ensure, again, that young people not only go to college, but they can come back home to Richmond. They can come back home to the Bay Area or wherever in the world they choose to be and have support in pursuit of their career ambitions and career goals. So since 2016, our organization has supported more than 3 ,300 Richmond youth, and on average, we serve a little more than 1 ,300 youth per year who are scholars in our program. So that's a quick snapshot of what we

Food Addiction, the Problem and the Solution
Recovering Food Addict Colleen Y. Shares the Ups and Downs of Her Journey
"On the podcast, our guest is a recovered food addict, Colleen Y. Welcome Colleen. Colleen Y. Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here. Susan Branscombe Yeah, it's great. I heard about your story. I've read about your story and I'm looking forward to sharing it with our listeners. We're going to talk about your story and how you found recovery from food addiction. I understand you became abstinent at 55 years old in 2018 when you joined a 12 -step food recovery program. Talk about that and what brought you into recovery. Colleen Y. Yes, it was late getting into. I had never heard of any 12 -step recovery programs. I had never heard about food addiction. I was just a person who thought I had a moral issue that I needed to diet, that I didn't have willpower, that that was the only way that I could overcome the excess weight. I was getting up there. I was 250. I was up to 300 pounds when I finally went into the rooms. So up until that point, I just thought that I just had no willpower. But it got to the point where all I could do was think about the food. I could not function unless I was thinking about food. So that's what brought me into the rooms. Talk about you got into recovery when you realized that you needed help in this way. And then you relapsed after two months. What happened there? Well, actually, it was after five years. I was in the program for five years. So for the first two years following the program, I was good. I followed it. I lost weight. I was working the steps in the program. But then I thought I didn't need it anymore, that I knew what I was doing and slowly started deviating from the program to the point where I left it and just started doing diets again and the weight started creeping back on. But I was still not eating the sugar flower wheat. So that's what I considered as still being abstinent. But the weight came on. I was still eating high fat. And then finally, after five years, I just couldn't white knuckle the diets anymore. And I relapsed. And in that two months that I relapsed, I gained over 25 pounds and really came to believe that I had a serious problem with food addiction. I just could not function at all over that two months. And I just did not want to live anymore. I just did not want to wake up in the morning. It was a brutal experience for two months. For critical level food addicts, some of us can get suicidal, where we just can't see a way out and that we're always going to suffer from this and food controls our lives. Yeah, I prayed every night that I wouldn't wake up in the morning. And that was the thing. And then I'd be so devastated that I had another day in this disease and that somehow I had to function. So talk about this history then. You got into recovery, five years, doing well, lost weight. Then you relapsed. Tell me about the weight that went off and came back on. You said you gained 25 pounds. You got up to 300, but were you close to maintenance weight during that five years? I had never been a normal weight my entire life, never. So I got close. I had lost, by this point I started at 300, so I was probably down to 170, which was just absolutely new territory for me. Then I gained some weight back, but then I knew I could not get abstinent on my own. It didn't matter what I did, I could not keep it. So I tried to go to Renasant and Renasant was running an outpatient program and I signed up for that. And then just before they were going to run it, they contacted me and said that they weren't prepared to run it anymore. And I was devastated. I ended up getting in touch with Dr. Vera Tarmon, who is a director at Renasant, and she told me about, in fact, was going to run their intensive for their students. And Esther usually does it in Iceland, but this time she was actually doing it in Ontario where I'm from. So it's like three hours away from me, I had this opportunity. So I jumped at it and I went and did that intensive where Esther Helga had Amanda from Shift come in and run the intensive. And it was mind -altering. It changed everything about the way that I looked at food addiction, totally, totally opened my eyes.

This weekend a piece of history will be for sale at the Montgomery Parks Department's urban wood sale. Sections of the Linden oak estimated to be about 300 years old will be available. The oak which once stood near Beach Drive in North Bethesda was cut down due to its condition according to Patrick Harwood an urban forester with the county's Parks Department. We only remove trees that are dead, dying or are posing a safety risk to park patrons or structure. Harwood says this isn't your only chance to get pieces of that historic tree.

Kate Ryan WTOP Drones are apparently becoming a growing problem during Ravens games at Baltimore's M &T -Bake Stadium. Authorities say eight drones violated restrictions just last month by flying during games. One game in mid -November had to be delayed twice because of a drone flying. A stadium security official told the Baltimore Sun that in general, people flying the drones are trying to get a picture or video, and they don't realize they're violating flight restrictions. the Still, concern is that if the operator loses control, the drone could cause panic or hurt somebody. I'm Peter Greenberg, and this is today's Ion Travel Minute. It's a scene repeated all too often. Your initial flight is delayed, forcing you to miss your connecting flight. Then all the other connecting flights to get you to your destination are full, and you're stuck at your intermediate airport with nowhere to go. Here's a tactic that many travelers are now using. In addition to their original ticket and flight itinerary, then they're booking an additional full fare refundable one -way ticket on a later connecting flight. If they're late, they're protected on that other connecting flight, and if they're on time, they simply refund the full fare ticket. For more information, visit PeterGreenberg .com.

Dennis is joining me today. Dennis Porter. Welcome to the show. How are you today? I'm doing excellent. Just coming back from a break. So are ready to dive into a jam -packed week of back -to -back calls Yeah, nice and tan back from your travels, right? Yeah, this is as tan as I get too So it's like, you know, ten days ten days in the Sun and this is as good as it gets So just everyone's prepared for that Are you ready to jump back into the Bitcoin grind or did you like really stop when you were vacationing? I oh, I never really truly fully stopped working the tweets keep coming, huh? Yeah It's an unfortunate byproduct of working in a 24 -7 365 non -stop nascent ever faster moving Industry that is Bitcoin Bitcoin mining when it combines two crazy worlds the one that I work in which is Bitcoin Bitcoin mining side which is the 24 -7 365 thing and then it's the Political realm which is just a total mess all the time. So it's a great combo. Yeah, I remember talking I want to stay sane Yeah, exactly my point. I was about to make you took the words out my mouth I remember talking to you like a year ago about the political side of things I was like, I don't know why anyone would ever want to get in that world at all. You're like, oh, I love it I love the I love the pool. I love being in the midst of it and still today don't get it Probably won't ever but I'm glad there's people like you who care about it And we you know agree on most things when it's firstly when it comes to Bitcoin mining so glad that's there Okay was transition over to Satoshi Action Fund. So you're the president and CEO you founded it. It's been two years Or so, it's a little over a year. We launched in June of last year and I am yeah I'm the president CEO I say CEO and president of Satoshi Action I'm there are two organizations now actually one is Satoshi Action Fund and one is Satoshi Action Education one I'm the CEO of and one of the president of so for simplicity's sake we just say it's all under the Satoshi Action umbrella But yeah, it's been going really really well We've had a ton of success and I'm sure we'll jump into that But I launched that in June of last year and we've been off to the races ever since Yeah, let's go into a little bit and then we have much more talking to show specifically We brought you on to talk about all the recent headlines with like rural Bitcoin mining and like the pushback We had a New York Times article about that there's some stuff in Arkansas going on So we'll get to that probably towards the second half of the show But let's talk about Satoshi Action Fund some wins recently and then maybe like a little more Flushed out what you guys are trying to to work on is like the product if you could say that for I guess a lobbying organization Yeah, yeah I mean it's good and that's that's probably one good area to start though with when it talk what comes talking about Satoshi Action is The one big difference between us and let's say like a lobbying organization or even a trade association Is that we don't we don't actually like do most of the lobbying. In fact, we hire lobbyists and we don't have members We have donors like more or less the premise of Satoshi Action Is that if you believe in the mission that we have pursued which is to make the United States? One of the best places in the world to be a Bitcoin miner or to be a Bitcoin er Then you want to support us if you agree with you know having the opportunity to stay here in America That's thriving off of this new technology versus being forced to move abroad You know that again is why I created Satoshi Action I think it's why people buy buy into the vision and the mission of what we're doing but we're very very structured very very different from from any of these other organizations that you might see out there and Once we launched Satoshi Action, the first thing that we wanted to do was try to go out there and show Right off the bat. What could we do? How could we be successful? How could we show that we can be effective because one of the most dangerous things that you can do with a political organization is You know get out there do all this, you know, make all this noise and then you don't produce any results You can do that a couple times you can even do it for years But eventually people will grow tired and they will move on and they will want to hear from someone else They will want to see someone else produce results There's definitely two the unfortunate part about politics Is there sort of two things you have to do one is you do have to produce results and the other is you have to? market your results market even what you're trying to do so that you can get people to buy into that they should buy into what you're trying to accomplish and fund essentially fund your operation because 100 almost 100 percent aside from our like You know, two three little s19 miners that we have plugged in that were donated to us The vast majority of our money comes from either donations or people that we get to come to our events was essentially a form of a donation So we rely a lot on on our donors to support the work that we do on a constant basis But right away we wanted to make sure that we were proving to our donors that we were having success So we said, okay, what can we do? We we got to the drawing board right away We brought on Eric Peterson who is our current policy director. Who's a wizard on the policy world and We had my two co -founders Mandy and Syria and we sat down we were like, alright, what are we gonna do? We started crafting public policy model policy For the Bitcoin Bitcoin mining space and what that means is that we created sort of like this like, okay here is a Example of a bill you could pass in your state that helps you advance this industry You know what we would do is we'd go in we'd say okay We have this great bill that we wrote up and we think you should pass it It'll really help you and they'll say like, you know, why would you want me to do that? Like we go in we pitch we say okay Bitcoin mining is great for jobs Great for local investment grid stability environmental cleanup the ability to enhance green and renewable energy projects really any energy project But policymakers particularly like when you can help solve some of the problems with green energy And then we win then we give them that bill the most popular of those bills that we did We know we have four of them Two of them have sort of moved or I should say three of them have moved around like have been introduced Or been worked on at the state level So far only one has passed into law which is a very big accomplishment but not to say only one but yeah I'm pretty yeah, it's pretty big deal Yeah, just one. It's just one of dates. So yeah so in then, um that bill ended up being called our right to mine bill initially originally was called the Digital Protection Act and then it transformed into becoming the rights mind bill and essentially that bill just protects Bitcoin miners from various forms of discrimination We saw real -time discrimination taking place across the country and we created real -time protections for that form of discrimination And we ended up being able to pass that bill into law in two states, Arkansas and Montana in fact in Montana is one of the states where Two things happen one. We actually saw some of the discrimination taking place where I don't know if you heard of the Missoula County there Where they changed the zoning laws and they like went drove a twenty million dollar bank when mining operation completely bankrupt because of it so Completely wiped them out all because they were concerned about things that were not true about Bitcoin mining, you know environmental concerns Oftentimes we see at the local level not necessarily in Montana But a big one is a concern is around Chinese mining particularly CCP mining I should say not Chinese owned but just that they're concerned that the CCP controls them So we saw real -time discrimination taking place in Montana We solved that problem the other problem. The other thing we discovered while we're there that we learned is That we can add things to this bill And we'll get into sort of like where we got to from that point But it was an important moment in the history of Satoshi action We added in a ban on any additional taxes on Bitcoin when uses a form of payment Which is critical because in the state of Montana, you know If you let's say you sell me a car like they'll tax that like peer -to -peer transaction Let's tax it like right off the top. So if I just sell you some Bitcoin or pay you in Bitcoin They would do the same thing. They'd be like, oh are we you owe us a tax for that? So we banned that which was great. And um, yeah, we'll talk about a little later but that was our big initial success huge success a small tear came down my eye when I When I passed my first bill into law Eric was like, you know done 10 ,000 times So he didn't he didn't really care as much but it was it was a big moment But I was like, we've done it. We've done it, you know, like he was like, ah Alright now I'm time for the next one right? So yeah right to mine. How'd you guys come up with that? It's like a very it's very catchy right and it's hard to argue against that Yeah, I don't know. I just can't use Brilliant top ahead. Okay, I came up with it sent it to I sent it to someone and said hey You should call this right to mine. I didn't even we didn't publicize it a really large news account I said hey just call it right to mine. That makes more sense. Yeah, and they did and then it just took off. Yes It was interesting for sure it's very amenable in a good way Okay, so you guys have passed some bills you're creating like this donor network to be able to to move it forward You've told me about a few wins here. I want to hear about some of like the obstacles which you already kind of alluded to so and we'll get to that later in the show the discrimination which we're seeing pop up right now, whether it be Chinese Bitcoin miners who are being Unfairly maligned for being associated with the CCP or not. And then also just like other Bitcoin miners who are unwelcome in certain areas But to the obstacles, what are some things that you've sort of like learned about why you come through this process creating Satoshi Action Fund and moving forward into these different these different State houses to lobby on behalf of Bitcoin Yeah, I would say that an overarching theme to the work that we do is that Things can go wrong very quickly and can be can be unrecoverable. They can be recoverable, but they can also be unrecoverable You know politics is very much like the real world so when real -world actions occur, there will be Consequences or there will be you know, either good or bad, right? You'll have good things or bad things happen because of real -world actions I'll give an example of a positive real -world example that Leads to us to do where we are today having a lot of success and that is the current consistent worry and fear around central bank digital currencies, so for some reason Which I definitely am aware of I Can't share too much on the story but definitely aware of a lot of Americans became very very concerned around central bank digital currencies and so Eventually, what happened was you had governors across the country including Governor Noem and Governor DeSantis eventually Working to ban central bank digital currencies at the state level There was this big huge kerfuffle around it and everyone was like doing everything they could to like stake their claim Literally Governor Noem took out like a steel Stamp of like a veto stamp and was like like stamped it into the bill. Like it was very it was very cool Actually, I loved it. Um so all of a sudden this like firestorm picks up where central bank digital currencies become this thing that Generally, I would say conservatives are against or Republicans are against but like really really opposed to like hyper opposed to it more so than I have seen anything in the The crypto space broadly I would I would consider CC central bank digital currencies to sort of be adjacent to the to the crypto space and because of that fervent Fear and concern around central bank digital currencies we've actually been able to use it as an effective way to demonstrate the value of Bitcoin because What happened was initially when they said Oh central bank digital currencies are a problem people started to say oh Well Bitcoin is a digital currency Is that also going to have the same problems as a CBDC and of course, we know we started education right away No These things are like way way different and then we just started to realize that it was best to classify them as polar opposites because they literally are like one is You know authoritarian sort of at least you when used on the retail level go ahead Yeah, send a CBDC between a bank or an institution. I don't I don't care at all force it on individuals In the United States without proper regular regulations and regulatory frameworks and then all of a sudden you have something that could be used in a way that you know is Sort of unimaginable to some extent to manipulate human behavior. So We started saying okay, these things are opposite and now when we're going into these states and we're saying okay, you should pass this bill It's pro Bitcoin. Also, it's anti CBDC people are like, oh hell yeah, let's go like we want to pass that bill So that's what that's one positive example of like how real -world things have had a really positive impact on what we're doing There's a lot of headwinds around creating or doing anything that you can to oppose CBDCs and so and as we pitch Bitcoin Bitcoin mining and You know all of our digital asset policy where there's always that thought in mind of how can we tie this into? Concerns around CBDCs which are valid and are linked We are not making some sort of leap here Bitcoin and CBDCs couldn't possibly be more more polar opposite. Gotcha Tell tell me about the some other stories Involving I have one video in mind of you going to Montana and speaking in front of Yeah, and there was someone before you who was just like going off and like kind of rabid It was good. And then you came in after and like kind of calmly presented some is Counter information this typically how the process is? Because I just think you are basically working in like the Parks and Rec version of Bitcoin. You have to like go deal like these Officials and like they don't know anything about it and they're like China bad Bitcoin bad That's that's my understanding every time I see this which is a really unfair characterization of it, but it's also it's stuck in my mind So lay it on yeah. No, it's it's you got you got it. You nailed it, right? Is the funnest example of Just how wild that can be out there So we go and we are getting ready to testify and every time we testify You know Especially because it's around Bitcoin mining we do get some sort of pushback usually at the local level typically from environmental groups Which is unfortunate because there's so much. I mean everybody knows in the mining space There are so many benefits from the methane component to balancing renewables to balancing the grid there's so many benefits that the You know Bitcoin mining space can offer to those that have come from even staunchly environmental the staunchly environmental realm so Needless to say there was two Opponents strong opponents to the bill one was a gal from an environmental group. She didn't get too out of control but the second guy he was a young a young gentleman from from Montana not originally and he worked at UCLA and he Was very opposed to Bitcoin and he started to go on this like speech like this really long drawn -out like monologue and Eventually at one point he says that that Montana will will like Die on the cross of Bitcoin essentially, right? It'll burn on the cross of Bitcoin I can't remember the exact word he uses but it's like very extreme very dramatic and Then he goes on to say that people are dying because of Bitcoin mine houses. I wish the camera was on me There's these cameras in every single Hearing room generally speaking every state Capital building when you're testifying in front of these hearings like they have cameras just like DC but obviously a lot lower tech But I just remember when he said that people are dying because of it He was so people are dying because of Bitcoin. He was so serious about it I just remember looking down my notes and just my face looked looking up at him was like So confused and I just wish the camera would have caught it because it would have been a perfectly it would have been a meme Like forever, but yeah, fortunately, there's a lot of great policymakers out there and actually, you know sometimes you love to rag on these guys, but You know, they do a good job a lot of these guys. They do a good job one guy asks him he says You know, he tries to run out actually that's part of the stories and this is important part of the story So let me backtrack so he finishes his speech. He tries to leave right away, which you don't do never do very rude tries to leave And as he gets to the door one of the people was like hey before you go even you usually we do questions at the End let's have you do some questions right now. We want to be able to talk to you a little bit Bring him back up to the podium He's like now son You made some pretty egregious claims there around Bitcoin mining Do you have anything to back up the statement that Bitcoin mining is killing people and the guy just is like well I don't have it here with me, but I can I can get it to you and He just like this this guy just is like, I mean you gotta remember this you see you sell a guy's like 22 years old he's a kid. Yeah Great great on him though. Great. Love the love the getting active at a young age, but he's just like son if You're gonna come in here and make egregious claims. You better have something to back it up and The kid just was like so upset like cuz he just got he's gave this great speech And he wanted to just walk out like drop the mic and walk out So he just blew him up I was anyways, it was it was definitely the most entertaining moments in the entire history of my experience And it's only been a year and a half So I I'm really looking forward to other stories that I can tell in the future Please catalog all these because I just like very Specifically remember watching that entire video and laughing pretty hard because it was it was pretty funny Okay, let's keep diving into this a little bit more. What have you been seeing in a lobbying front? That's been sort of helpful that you would encourage other people to look at we've had the call lines We've had the emails. We've had people going speaking to people I Think for the Bitcoin community we can all take like a breather and be like a lot of what we've been doing has not been working What has been working to speak with these people in state houses who need to learn about Bitcoin because Bitcoin's coming their backyard What has been working from your year and a half of doing this actively and putting boots on the ground? The things that have helped the most are Well, first of all getting clear of FTX collapse. I mean that is this is what I just tweeted this out yesterday. It's like I Still can't believe that we passed two bills into law in the middle of that collapse and it was a very testy time in the space so getting clear of FTX is Only gonna help us the other is just the way we Approach the conversation around Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining the way we pitch it is that we really focus on the benefits We do not talk about the technical side We do not try to explain how Bitcoin or Bitcoin mining works We give a very brief overview if they want more information Of course, we will dive deeper with them and we are very good at doing that you always have to be ready for those questions, but It's very important to just keep it as simple as possible Most of these policymakers have not made up their minds at all about any of this stuff They hear it in the news over there. They're their nephews trading crypto You know, like they're it's like they've got stuff all over the place, you know, you got some hardline anti -crypto anti -bitcoin Democrats You know, you've got some vocal Republicans, but they're not really like hardline yet. Like there's just not a lot of like really built -in statements or viewpoints on this on this technology and So what we do is we just go in and we say okay like Out of everything you've heard a lot of some of it is true some of it is not but most importantly what we're here to do is try to explain to you the value of Bitcoin mining for your state so we pitch Bitcoin mining and we it's a five benefits I mentioned earlier it can bring jobs local investment great stability Environmental cleanup and the ability to enhance green and renewable energy projects and out of those five No one ever says anything bad about it But out of those five usually a policy maker will say oh What kind of jobs does it make or like, you know, oh I I didn't know it could clean up the environment it's like an instant like gateway to being able to have a conversation about something they care about because usually you're hitting on something there like if it's not the economy if It's not the environment if it's not energy like at the local state level like those topics are huge Because the vast majority of energy policy is set at the state level. The vast majority of job creation is done at the state level And then a lot of this these like sort of decisions around how much green energy they're going to be building done at the state Level a lot of environmental stuff done in the state level Yeah, DC throws around big pockets big buckets of money at everybody and they certainly have regulations But a lot of these decisions are made by local state policymakers And so they care if they care a lot about these issues probably themselves, but also their voters care a lot about those issues Particularly the jobs one comes up a lot because we we know in the mining space that we create a lot of rule And jobs and jobs and economically depressed zones where it's very difficult to create jobs nearly impossible to create like long -lasting jobs So the moment you say oh we create jobs in rural areas. They're like boom the brain turns on like well How do you do that? Because that's really important to me As an example in New Hampshire, we've I've been there a few times now In the there's an area called the North Country. There's like no jobs It's a whole thing like they call it jobs for the North Country is like one of their pitches So when we go there and we talk about Bitcoin mining, we're like jobs for the North Country jobs for the North Country It's because it's true and it's something they care a lot about so that yeah, that's that's generally how we pitch it We do not talk about Too much about Bitcoin in the past We haven't talked too much about Bitcoin to the extent that it's like oh you're gonna need this because it's good as hedge for inflation or XYZ like we sort of stay away from that and focus on things that Like mining that we know will deliver value now, we've expanded our policy. We've expanded the way that we that we talk about it But we haven't gone into this new legislative cycle yet So yeah, that was all done everything that we just talked about that we've done and that we have done It was done in early 2023. We prep for it in early 20 or in late 2022 Now we are prepping for 2024 in late 2023 So we got we sort of have an idea of where things are gonna go and what we're gonna do and we're in a really Great position. In fact, we could be active in up to 20 states we probably won't be active in that many but we have the opportunity to be active in up to 20 states and as a Form of context we only introduced law or excuse me introduced policy in seven states, so we were only able to actually convince seven states to Try to pass our bills Whereas like this cycle, I think that number will be closer to like 10 or 15 only seven states That sounds like a lot of airline miles to me so it can be yeah. Yeah, this seems seems like a lot of work Okay, so we got a lot of that laid out Let's go and talk about some of the more aggressive headlines We've seen recently and we're speaking about the New York Times article that dropped to believe a week ago for listeners Check out that in the show notes will include that I think we also talked about the news roundup last week Essentially, there's a Cheyenne Wyoming based Bitcoin miner They are owned and operated by a Chinese national group that has some ties according to the New York Times to the Chinese Communist Party essentially the story boiled down to Microsoft is near this plant it's Bitcoin mining plant the US government has a missile siloed nearby an Air Force base nearby and Microsoft is worried that this Bitcoin mining base could be used for foreign intelligence reasons Then we also have the story down in Arkansas, which we'll get down to in a second But let's start with this first one this this thing with Chinese nationalist groups Bitcoin mining obviously to to you and I is more of an energy game and it's very simple, right? It's just like plugging machine. Let it hash I'm gonna collect some Bitcoin and then there's those five benefits you talked about to outsiders though. They're not thinking about that They're thinking about all these people coming into rural areas and even foreign investment Has that been a struggle when you've been talking to lobbyists groups or talking to people in state houses have they brought this up to you? Yeah, definitely it's um, it's a major concern I would say Most Americans like average American especially rural Americans care a lot about the encroachment of the CCP on on the United States from from a physical perspective so like from a geographical perspective they don't like the idea of a CCP owned controlled or even highly influenced business You know being next to them and then definitely not being in and around me sort of military installations I believe the location in Cheyenne is near a Also, is that the one that's also near a nuclear plant or a nuclear missile site as well? So yeah, something like that Yeah, so I share the concern like that I think the premise is like Do you want foreign adversaries to be in and around any sort of? Military installation any sort of critical infrastructure You know generally I like my stance is like I'm very like pro people coming here starting their businesses You know trying to accomplish the American dream, but at the same time We also have to be concerned about whether or not those businesses have strong links to You know the CCP or you know A lot of people care a lot about also like Russian oligarchs and their ability to influence America American politics American infrastructure you know the big argument today is that the electrical infrastructure is a critical part of national security and That we need to be doing everything we can to protect it and I agree I think that's important all of those things are important that we should we should keep an eye on them The the thing that I don't like is when the New York Times tried to spin this article as if like Bitcoin mining was some sort of like really powerful tool in the hands of the CCP like next to these sites I don't think it really matters what business was there.
The Bitboy Crypto Podcast
A highlight from Is Solana The Next Ethereum Killer
"Can a Solana overtake Ethereum? We're seeing a lot of metrics that have a lot of people, their heads are spinning. They're surprised. They don't know what's happening. They don't know why Solana keeps continuing to pump, or we're seeing a lot of positive numbers. We're seeing active users skyrocketing. And also we're getting listed on Perpetual's futures on a very major exchange. You're going to want to check this out. This is Discover Crypto. Thank you for joining everybody. Welcome back, Rodney. We're talking about some altcoins. And now we're not going to talk about ranked 8 ,000 meme coins. Is that okay? We're talking about Solana. I guess we could talk about... Everybody's talking about Grok, I thought. That's right. Grok. Well, yeah. It was like, what? Maybe a top 200 at this point. Hit $186 million market cap. I just saw Kyle Chasse tweet, or Chasse tweet. He's like, I bought the top. Ah. You know, so it happened. As they do. Did you get in on Grok, Rodney? I did not get in on Grok. I faded Grok at 20 million. Sorry. Excuse me for not buying a meme coin. You know. It went up to 150, right? So you missed out on about a seven and a half X. It's still sending, yeah. All right. So you're only missing out on a 10X so far. So far, it's a 10X. But Rodney, you just got in last night, correct? Yes, sir. Yeah. How was that? How was it flying into the Atlanta airport? I heard it's... My fiance, she has Follow Atlanta now, and they're shutting down the whole airport. Apparently, it's like, you know, entire hallways are like two foot wide. What was your experience? Well, I actually drove here from Charlottesville, Virginia, so it was an eight hour drive, but very nice. Got to listen to Joe Rogge on the way here. Some of my favorite cryptocurrency channels. Okay. Yeah. All right. Well, speaking of cryptocurrency, let's just get right into the stories here, folks. We are going to talk about Solana in a bit, but first, let's look at the crypto market. We have Bitcoin down about 1%. Let me go ahead and hit refresh just in case we're getting a little bit fresher. All right. Bitcoin down 1%. But Ethereum is up about 2 % right now, XRP down 2 .5%. Solana is cooling off, folks. Solana is almost down to 5 % along with Cardano, but both of them had a positive week. Solana just had a 10 times better week than Cardano there, 38 % to a 3 .8 % pump there. So if you're holding Solana over Cardano, you're feeling pretty good. If you're holding both, you're wondering, you're looking at your Cardano bag, poking it with the stick, like the meme, come on, do something, do something. It'll happen eventually, folks. Just trust me. Then we have Chainlink down to 5 .5 % as well, but Matic is up. But we look, look at Celestia, Tia, Tia is up. We were talking about Tia, Tia is up 25%, 125 % for the week. Now, TJ, did you see any Tia actually, you saw Celestia? I mean, I know it's Drew's wife's name, so he's been big on it, but he actually, I think was talking about Celestia. Yeah, we did a short on it a while back. We noticed it when it very first popped out. Obviously it's strong in some of the Asian markets, a competitor, so to speak, coming out of nowhere. We're seeing, we're moving up very quickly through the top 100. I think it's ranked 65, 68, something like that right now. I mean, it was under 100 a week or two ago when we first covered it. Definitely something to keep an eye on. And this is something that's important that I wanted to mention on today's stream. As we're getting into a new bull market, there's a lot of different ways to look at different altcoins and value different things. When you're building out your portfolio, there's something to be said for projects that have been around for a little while that you know are going to perform into the bull market. Again, we've looked at them a lot. They're in the top 20s, top 50s, the Maddox, the Mutables, the avalanches, the Solanas, kind of the big performers of the last cycle. However, the ones that tend to have the most explosive gains can be the things that are launching around this time, the newer things. It'll be interesting to see if that trend proves through in this cycle. But Tia, Celestia would be one of those ones that it looked like tech had been around for a while, the team had been around for a while, and they were waiting for the right time to launch to really capture attention in this bull market. So watching how those perform over the next few months, I do think is going to be key. We're going to be doing a deep dive on Celestia coming up in the next week or so. I have some of that going into the works. But watching layer ones, layer twos in the narratives, obviously, in this cycle, I think is going to be a good strategy if you're looking to make those gains. All right. But speaking of gains, we also have the other side of the coin, and that's the losses, folks. The biggest loser is Rollbit for the day, down 10 percent and then Kronos. But if you look at the week here, the biggest loser is Trust Wallet and then followed by XRP. Oh, no. XRP was the number two loser for the week, folks. So it's just interesting to see a top five coin be one of the biggest losers right there. Nio, Nio as well. Nio is down now. Nio is on a video I'm working on right now, the top five coins out of Asia, everybody. And Nio is one of the five. So that might be one. All right. I'll be joining in in a second here. But I think it's time for us to talk a little Solana here. Now, Rodney, what are your broad thoughts on Solana as a sign in real quick? Yeah, well, I think that could be one of the bigger comeback stories of this next run, because really the reason why it dumped down so much, because look at everything dumped during the bear market. But the reason why it dumped down significantly was the negative association it had with Almeida Research, Sam Beckman Fried and stuff like that. But now that we're putting all that stuff behind us, it's probably going to recover. I mean, beside what the occasional network outage is, it's actually a pretty solid project. So a lot of people bought that dip understanding that the reason why it was down wasn't because of function. It was because of the negative publicity. Just like Elon Musk going on Joe Rogan's show, smoking some, you know, green and then dumping Tesla stock. Yeah, I always talk about that podcast. I saw that podcast and I remember thinking, oh, wow, this guy is incredibly bright. I would want to own Tesla stock. A lot of people say, oh, yeah, let's dump it. Well, Solana is overtaking Ethereum by active users after a 70 % spike. Everybody let's look at some of the numbers here. So this is according to Arnimix, they had 356 ,000 unique users on Saturday beating Ethereum's 330 ,000. So beat them by 26 ,000 right there. The milestone was driven by a sharp uptick with the network hosting only 200 ,000 just one week ago, less than a week ago. So it was $100 ,000 less. For comparison, ETH consistently holds around 300 to 350 with two brief spikes above 400k in a surge of more than 1 million wallets. But the price of Solana has plummeted. Is it still more than 96 % from 2021 high of 250 bucks? Does that sound right? I don't know about 96%. Yeah, no, no, that's not right. At one point, at one point when it fell to $10 in January, active addresses on the network shrank 85 % from over a million, 1 .28 to around 200 ,000 this September, according to the block. But Solana refused to stay down and now it is up 145 % just in the past four weeks. So everyone holding on to the profit feel good. And then some analysts have been quick to pronounce that Solana has flipped Ethereum by active users due to the recent uptick. However, the ecosystem has expanded beyond its base layer with the majority of ETH activity now taking place on layer two. So Solana may surpass Ethereum, but there's a giant asterisk because if you want to incorporate little activity, two well, Ethereum, the EVM as a whole greatly surpasses Solana there. But TJ, what do you think about Solana ever surpassing Ethereum as far as, you know, being the number one chain? What odds would you, would you put it less than 5%, less than 1 %? No, I think what you just said really matters there by what metric, right? You know, so you've got transactions, you've got daily active users, you've got a market cap, you've got volume, you know, there's so many different metrics to measure a chain by. So I could see it passing it in transactions one day. That's what it's designed for, right? If you get some good, if you get some good games running on it, you could see it hit higher active users, higher transaction or, you know, but volume, probably not, you know, like DeFi is going to most likely live on Ethereum for the foreseeable future. We talked about that a little bit last week. The ecosystem really matters there. And so I think what we're seeing right now in price gains in the short term, sure, it could, it could outperform there. And I think part of what we should talk about here today is why we saw all that price movement happening over the weekend. And I think, I think you've got my screen here, BJ, you can pull it in here, but some of the factors that came up on this article on Cointelegraph, why Solana Price woke up this week, it really has to do with, you know, obviously FTX getting reopened back up. A lot of people thinking there's less likely for Alameda and what's held on the FTX balance sheet, less likely to dump.

Dan's Northvale, NJ Book Signing Was an Epic Success!
"That for this weekend special so a lot happened since I've been with you last first we had a book signing Friday in Northvale New Jersey I expected like 350 people 500 people showed up it was crazy the nicest people huge shout out to the cops and a lot of people showed up I I had some DEA guys FBI guys couple of 75 precinct guy ESU SWAT guys there and one guy came up to me and said Dan I love it when you give shout outs to the truckers and the HVAC guys and the carpenters and the electricians and the steam fitters but you got to mention this railroad guys shout out to the railroad guy and railroad guys out there we love you too but seeing everyone up close and personal is crazy we were there three and a half hours guy said the book signing was nuts our last book signing for a while little while probably not the last one but for a while is this week in Dallas so this is kind of a weekend update on Diana Ball here Dallas this Friday November 17th 2pm local time Grapevine Texas at the Books -A -Million don't miss it we will be there their WBAP audience Jim is saying this is going to be the most packed one yet we've had anywhere from 300 to 800 people these things they're always crowded I don't know we'll see Jim's saying yes WBAP audience represent Grapevine Texas this Friday November 17th 2 p .m. local time book signing at Books -A -Million and Grapevine if you want the deets it's on my Instagram Twitter and true social just scroll through you'll see a lot of them there that's pretty cool so that happened and I want to thank the guy who his gave up parking spot in front of the bookstore they forgot to save us a parking spot so we there was not a single spot in this entire parking lot and the guy in the black truck who he's I said listen if we get you line in first will you give us his spot I had

"Really? Yeah, I love asking, what do you need from me to do this? That is one of the best prompts you can put in there after you finish your task or after you finish like a little bit of the direction. Because it gives it so much better and stronger direction. Wow. I love that. And I also noticed something else. I give really short prompts, but it sounds like you give really rich, detailed prompts for what you're looking for. Is that true? I would say it depends. Yeah, I would say most of the time I'm giving it pretty detailed prompts. But it doesn't take me very long because again, like I said, I have this little prompt library where I copy and paste. But I always tell it who it is. Because again, it was trained on all this information, so you want to try and focus it with where it needs to be looking for in its memory banks for what it's asking. So you're a social media manager, you're a multi -million dollar fundraiser, you are the number one copywriter or journalist for Forbes magazine. You can tell it who you want it to be. Then you tell it what you want with some bullet points, because again, you always make the difference in all of the content. So if I want to tell someone how to do podcasting, I'm going to give them tips. Well, I'm going to tell the AI system what tips I want included in whatever it is that I'm having it right. Then I tell it the voice, and the voice is a copy paste from my other stuff. Then I can give it formatting direction, you know, format it with emojis or format it in bullet point or write it in markdown format so it's easy to read. Short, you know, 300 words, 100 words, only two paragraphs, whatever you want to give it direction for the formatting. And then, again, you make all the difference. So editing, rewriting, and creating is the key.
Crypto Banter
A highlight from This Strategy Will Make MILLIONAIRES In The Crypto Bull Market! (Watch Till The End)
"I want to show you the most powerful tool that I have in this bull market. Trust me, it's the way that I've made the most money since I started trading. We've just had a huge breakout in Bitcoin. I know it doesn't look like it, but Bitcoin has been battling this resistance line for a long time and we've just broken through the resistance line beautifully, beautifully right over there. And what that means is it means that we are getting into the next stage of this raging Bitcoin bull market. The next stage is going to be a much, much, much faster and much more vicious stage of the bull market. Up until now, we've been battling this resistance line, but once we get through it, we get into the next part of the Bitcoin bull market. And if our thesis is right, if our thesis has been right up until now, we are about 30 % of the way in this bull market. The first 300 days were the build up, the accumulation phase of the bull market. And the next 600 days is when all the action happens and we do something like this. So what does that mean? Well, it means that you've got about 600 days to make real life changing money. Because if you don't make real life changing money in the next 600 days, I think the next cycle for crypto is going to be a lot more relaxed, a lot more regulated, and to be honest, a lot less fun. What it means is that we've got 600 days left to make real life changing or wife changing money. Now listen, I've been in crypto for a long time. I've been around for the previous two cycles. I lived through this 2015 to 2017 high. I lost most my money. And then I lived through this 2021 2022 bull market. And if I learned anything in those bull markets, I learned two things. The first thing is that making money in a bull market only happens if you have a plan. If you don't have a plan, you ain't going to make money because what you're going to do is you're going to end up riding this bull market right up to the top and you're going to get flushed out because you don't have a plan. And the second thing I learned is that even if you've got a plan, if you don't have the right tools to execute on your plan, you have got zero chance of keeping your money. I've seen this twice. In 2017, I made fortunes and I landed up losing fortune. In 2021, I ended up making fortunes and luckily I ended up keeping it. So when it comes to making a plan, we have a great plan. And to be honest, we've been executing on our plan and our plan is performing. What we said is we said that we put 80 % of our money into this diversified portfolio, which by the way, up until today is up 60 % in just one month. It's a beautifully diversified portfolio that talks to all the narratives and has a well diversified number of coins. And you can see it's broken up beautifully. So that's our plan and we're executing as per that plan. 80 % of our money is going into that ETF and 20 % is going into a whole lot of small speculative bets that can really, really, really explode your portfolio. Things like the next Casper or the next Kojira. That's what our plan is. And if you want to know more about our plan, I'm going to leave a link to the video below where we actually devised the plan, where we actually made that plan. Today's show though is about the second thing that you need. I want to show you the most powerful tool that I have in this bull market. I built it because of what I learned in the previous bull markets and because of the mistakes that I made. And I want to show you the tool and I want to show you why it's so powerful. So listen, if you're watching this and you want more of this content and you want more plans, subscribe to the channel. Now's a beautiful, great time to subscribe. And if you're already a subscriber, just smash the like button. Let's get everybody else listening and let's get everybody else looking and using these tools to make you guys life -changing money in the next, well, 599 days now. So the tool I want to show you today is Banter Bubbles. And to be honest, when we built this tool, we never realized how powerful this tool was going to be. It's only when we started making real money on this tool that we realized exactly how powerful it is. So what is it? Well, here it is. Or in fact, here it is because it's available on iPhone, on Android, and of course, on desktop. What is it? It's a tool that's designed to show you how tokens are moving very, very quickly. The idea is that you can, with a quick glance, understand exactly what's going on with the bubbles. When the bubbles are green, it means they're going up. When the bubbles are red, it means they're going down. The bigger the bubble, the bigger the move. So you can see on today's bubbles, Neo is up 15 % today, FTT is up 80 % today, and Alluvium is up 30 .62 % today. Now, I always used to use this tool when I used to wake up in the morning, look at my phone, see if it's going to be a good day or a bad day, or if I was going to a restaurant and I snuck off to go to the toilet, I quickly went and looked at the bubbles, and I realized which tokens were going up and which tokens were going down. But that wasn't enough because knowing whether the why they're going up or down. And so what we did was we built a chat in every single one of the bubbles. So when you see a bubble going up, you click on the chat, and it's a place where the community gather and share alpha as to why the token is going up or down. So you can see the whole Casper community is gathered here in the bubbles. And it gave you an idea. The idea was to say, hey, the bubbles are going up, but why are the bubbles going up or down? And that's where the chat came in. But that wasn't enough. We wanted to give you guys more alpha, we wanted to make the bubbles more interactive. So what did we do? Well, we created a general chat. An idea behind the general chat was to say, you can sit down, you can watch every single one of the bubbles. And while you're watching the bubbles, you can see what the community is talking about in response to the bubbles moving. And there's a lot of alpha in this chat. In fact, this is where I'm starting to get a lot of my alpha. That's amazing. We then built a whole lot of features in the bubbles. Like for example, you can add filters. So you can add a filter over here. And you can say, I want to see the performance of gaming coins only. And there we go. It's now showing you the performance of gaming coins only. You can filter it even further by saying I want to see it on the hourly chart. And now I'm looking at gaming coins specifically on the hourly chart. You can add watch lists. So you go over here, you press on lists, you add a watch list, and you can add your tokens that you have in your portfolio. So let me add in Bitcoin. I have Bitcoin in my portfolio add token. Let me add it over there. I have Solana in my portfolio. Solana is doing fantastically well. I have Casper in my portfolio. I'm going to add it there. And so you can add your own, you can create your own watch list with just the tokens that you're interested in watching. So you can block out the noise. You can obviously do a whole lot of other things. You can see the top 100 coins or even go all the way down the list as you see fit. And if you like categories, well, that's simple. Just go to filter, find the categories that interest you, whether they're gaming, centralized exchanges, liquid staking tokens, metaverse, and click here, and you'll immediately see just those coins. So that's what we did. We built an amazing tool, but we weren't happy. We wanted to give you guys even more alpha. And even though our competitors thought we were crazy and the market thought we were crazy, we did something absolutely insane. We took the banter newsroom, the place where we get all of our research, and we added it to the bubbles for free, which means that effectively if you go onto the newsroom, you can see every single tweet, every single article that, that our 40 researchers are looking at real time. As we see them here, we have 40 researchers and what they're doing all day long is they are looking for research that we make our trading decisions with, and that we use to make our content. And it's all available right here for you to see. And to be honest for our competitors to see too, because we don't really care. People said we were crazy, but you know what we decided to do? We decided to double down. Not only did we make our entire newsroom absolutely free for everyone to see so that you can watch the news and watch the effects that the news is happening on the bubbles. We also gave people free access to our research call. This is a call that happens once every day with the entire banter team. And it's where we discuss all the alpha for the day. And we discuss what we're going to put into our shows. It happens about six hours before our shows.

Remember those first three days of the week even though we were in the green it was relatively tepid gains here so the strength that we're seeing here on this Friday really just kind of clawing us back I think to kind of where we were about a week ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is gonna finish out the day higher up by about 1 % or about 390 points and change. The S &P 500 higher by about 68 points or 1 .6 % and if an official close above 4400 4415 and change which is also above that 100 day moving average. Meanwhile the NASDAQ composite higher by almost 300 points or 2 % on the day and for once the Russell 2000 decides it actually wants to play along up a percent on the day. Alright well that's pretty broad -based at least in the S &P 500. Peeling back the layer there Scarlett you see 436 stocks in the S &P 500 higher today only 65 moving lower. I feel bad for whoever's doing decliners Scarlett. Yeah that'll be me later on. I look at the New York Stock Exchange almost three stocks higher for everyone that is lower and that it's pretty much reflected in the industry groups as well. Chip companies are the best performers on the day and for the week as well up about five and a half percent this week. Software services and autos that's really Tesla bringing up the rear in terms of the best three performing groups. In terms of laggards because all the industry groups are higher food beverage and tobacco telecom and farmers so the more traditional defensive sectors are not doing as well today. Alright let's take a look at what's going on.

Lost Continent (MM #4615)
"I've always been fascinated with continents. In particular, how the world started out as one continent, Pangaea, and over the course of hundreds of millions of years split into the now, depending how you look at it, six or seven. It's all based on tectonic plates. But for a long time, scientists have been puzzled how Australia and Southeast Asia really fit together. Because when you start looking at the areas around Indonesia and the Philippines, it didn't make sense to where there was a fit. Well, it's taken them 155 million years to figure out there's a missing continent that they've now named Argo Land. And it's the continent that kind of gets shoved underneath Indonesia and underneath the Philippines, and it's kind of like buried and missing when all the plates started clashing together. This stuff is way above my knowledge of science, but it's fascinating to read and to try to understand just how this world has evolved over 300 million years. I can't even fathom it. But it's interesting to think another continent that's there, but isn't.

My guest today is Colin Woodward. Colin is the president of StealthTest, a secure cloud -based environment that enables teams to create test networks across chains. various Welcome to the show, Colin. Thanks for having me, Andy. I appreciate it. It is a pleasure. Let's do what we do at the beginning of the show, Colin. Could you please introduce yourself? It would be good to hear a bit about your personal and professional story. It's an interesting one. I've had a look. What have you been doing in the lead up to getting involved in StealthTest? Yeah, certainly. So as you mentioned, I'm Colin Woodward. I'm president and general counsel of StealthTest, which is an API -based software platform and developer toolkit that features private test networks for most EVM -compatible chains. Right now, we're live on Ethereum and Polygon, Moonbeam, Arbitrum One and Arbitrum Nova, and we have a couple of new networks that we're adding just about every month now in two to three -week sprints, so very exciting there. I guess to kind of reel back things a bit, my background is actually as a corporate lawyer by trade, one who was very interested in emerging technology and kind of just markets in general. And as you might imagine, emerging tech plus markets, I quickly found my way to crypto in 2017 and actually kind of was introduced to crypto and perhaps a common fairly way that many people might encounter it for the first time. I was working in a large law firm at the time, and I shared an office wall with a colleague of mine. And one day in 2017, during kind of one of the previous bull cycles, he kind of popped in my office while I was busy at work, and he's like, hey, you ever heard about this crypto thing? It's really big right now, and I think you should check it out. And I said, Dave, I have no idea what you're talking about, but feel free to have a seat and share what you know about crypto with me. And so we chatted for a bit.

I am Matt Verderam alongside Gilberto Manzano as always here in the midweek edition of the show. We've got a lot to get to because last week might have given us the best slate of games we're gonna have all week long. We had four games that everybody thought were gonna be great and as it turned out, three of them were pretty good. One of which was a blowout. We'll get to all them here in a minute then of course we have our week 10 lines of five games that we're gonna focus on from our SI Sportsbook odds and then from there we also have the midseason awards that we have to get to as we are halfway home in the 2023 NFL season. Before we get to all that, let's welcome the other man of the tandem, Gil, what's going on man? How you been? Yeah, I'm doing well. Matt, as you know, I like to brag about my wins and complain about my losses and last week was a good week. I went 12 -2 with the picks but I am pretty disappointed that I betted against Joshua Dobbs. What a game, right? Unbelievable. I'm annoyed. You went 12 -2, I went 11 -3 and I feel like 11 -3 should have given me some bragging rights for the week and yet it did not happen. So I will say on the whole, our group, yourself, myself, Connor, Orr, Albert Breer, Mitch and John our editors and Claire, another editor of ours as well that does great work, I feel like everybody's picks have been really pretty good this year. There are some years you look at picks and go, oh my god, I'm barely above 500. Right now, I've got the sheep pulled up in front of me, so the best record is Albert who's 95 -41, went 11 -3 last week and then after that, Claire Kawana is right behind him with 92 wins and then in gold it says 87 wins and then it's myself, yourself, John and then Connor Orr at 75 and 65 pulling up the rear, so Connor's got to step up. Connor is bringing down the credibility of this entire group. That's not bad for last play, so 10 games over 500? His thing is, we all do our upset picks and he's done 50 upset picks. I think I've done like 16. So that's part of the reason, but yeah, the picks are good and of course people that want to can read those over at SI .com, we put them out every week. The editors are nice enough to put that together. All right, so last week, like I said, we had some great games. We had Chiefs Dolphins over in Germany and then we had Ravens, Seahawks, which we thought would be a great game, turned out to be a massacre, Late Window, Cowboys, Eagles, which was one of the wildest games I can remember seeing in quite some time and then of course we had Bills, Bengals at the end, the Sunday night game there and so like I said, we'll get to all those. Let's just start with how the day actually started. Over in Frankfort, Chiefs build up a 21 -0 lead on Miami. Miami comes back, makes it 21 -14. They had a couple drives at the end where they could have tied the game, even taken the lead if they went for two. They got into Kansas City territory both times, but both times ended up going backwards, lose the game. They dropped to 6 -3. Chiefs, of course, improved to 7 -2. Both teams go on their bye weeks. I'll So, let you set the stage here, Gilberto. What is it to you, is it more about the Dolphins that game or is it more about the Chiefs? It is more about the Dolphins because they can't beat a team with a winning record and don't tell me the Chargers are .500 and the Dolphins beat them. They barely got to .500, so I am concerned about the Dolphins, but I don't want to let the Chiefs off the hook, Matt, and I know you've been writing about this, but the Dolphins have been pretty average. It got to a point where now Mahomes is saying, yeah, we sting. We're pretty bad. Go talk about the defense. That defense is carrying us the entire season. You know what's kind of funny, Matt? This season, it feels like the team with the best defense might win the Super Bowl, and the Chiefs still have the best defense right now, it feels like, so it's kind of a weird irony, but you expect better from Mahomes and Kelsey, but the wide receivers, they can't create separation. And it wasn't for that awesome fumble, reverse play, whatever it was from Cook there. They would have probably lost a game there, but what's going on with the Dolphins offense? Averaging 17 points against the Bills, Eagles, and the Chiefs, so I go with the Dolphins there because I feel like the Chiefs could figure it out. It's halfway point in the season, they're just cruising by, and I think something will finally break out there, but I'll let you maybe talk about the Chiefs a little more. But the Dolphins, man, you're supposed to be the most explosive offense, highest scoring, and you can't even get a first down. It's like, do they have too many home run hitters? Too many touchdown makers? How about some chain movers? How about some first down people? How about some quick outs, and just get four or five yards, and everything just feels like a home run, and they don't adjust, and they don't kind of make end game adjustments because credit to the Chiefs, and Tyreek Hill said it too, they covered, there was great coverage on Tyreek Hill, so it's kind of one of those games where like, why not get a tight end that can help you out here? Why not get some guys that can make it easier? How about go to Raheem Oster a little more? He had like 12 carries, and he's averaging 7 .1 yards per carry, so I don't know what's going on with Mike McDaniel on two, and two was pretty bad in that second half there. Yeah, he had the touchdown to Cedric Wilson, but make some adjustments, Mike McDaniel, and stop going for the home run ball, Tua. Yeah, look, first of all, I agree, I think the Dolphins are the bigger storyline coming out of the game. Like, they've now played three really good teams, and they've lost all three of them, and they came back against Kansas City, but they were getting killed in that game too. They were 21 -0 midway through the third quarter, and frankly, if Chris Jones doesn't take one of the dumbest personal fouls you've ever seen, it's probably 21 -7, and we're having a different discussion. I think your point though, man, is good with the Dolphins in the sense of like, there's timing strung off. They're just dead in the water. They have no answer for it, and we've seen that now multiple times, this year and last year. Kansas City basically said, we're going to get up on the line of scrimmage, we're going to get our hands on Tyreek Hill, we're going to reroute them, we're going to cause problems. Look, who knows them better than the Chiefs, right? I mean, they know what can cause some issues, and they actually went back and watched practice tape of a couple years ago to try to figure out how to stop them. They went back and watched how they worked against him in team drills and practice, and tried to figure out some things, and it obviously worked. But from the Chiefs' angle of this, listen, the offense is a disaster, okay? They had 46 yards in the second half of the game in a turnover. But they're 7 -2 in the number one seed in the AFC because the defense is incredible, and they're just shutting people down left and right. If you go and look this year at teams that have played the Chiefs, nobody's thrown for 300 yards. Kirk Cousins came the closest. He was up in the higher 200s because he threw a million passes. But if you look at Gough's numbers, 253 yards, one touchdown, which was a good game. That was without Chris Jones that week. Trevor Lawrence, they didn't score a touchdown. He threw 41 times for 216 yards. Justin Fields threw for 99 yards. Zach Wilson, of all people, had one of the best days against him, 245 and two touchdowns. That game. wild And then you had Cousins, who went for 284 and two touchdowns on 47 attempts. Russell Wilson threw for 95 yards one game, and in the other game, the game that they won, he threw for 114. These teams, two I didn't throw for 200 yards. Nobody's throwing for yardage against them. They're second in the league in sacks, the first in pressure rate. They've got two elite corners in McDuffie and Sneet, and so, look, the question with Kansas City is obvious. Can this offense get going? Because if the offense gets going, they're probably the best team in the NFL. I mean, if they get even borderline top -10 production out of that offense, forget it. They have the week now to scout. I was texting with some people around the team, and I think there's a general thought of like, look, it's a bunch of little things that are throwing off the whole thing. Question is, how many of those little things can you fix in the next couple of months? The good news is you have Mahalem, you have Kelsey, you've got a good offensive line, you've got Andy Reid. The bad news is they have you and me at receiver. So, I mean, that's the question. My guess? They'll fix it to an extent. I don't think it's going to be a unit that you'll look at and go, oh my God, they're incredible. I think it's probably going to be a top -10 unit right around there at the end of the year. They're in the mix, but yeah, I agree, man. The Dolphins are definitely the thing that you'll look at right now, and the team you'll look at right now and go, all right, you're going to make the playoffs, but what are you going to do when you get there? Are you going to beat somebody good, or is there going to be a one -and -done? Matt, let me ask a quick question, because you watch this team closely, and I think I watch them good enough because they're always on prime time, but all these analytics people are saying, look at the EPA, look at the DVOA. They're top five in offense in all these categories, and I'm like, I get it. You keep showing me the numbers, but I keep watching the games, and the wide receivers are not that great. They're not scoring points. They had nine points against Denver, so I don't know what it is. Maybe when you said disaster, I'm like, okay, cool, because I was trying to play it safe. Maybe they're average because there's something here that I'm missing with the DVOA and the EPA. They're a disaster by their standards. By anyone else's standards, yeah, they're probably still an above -average offense, but by their standards, they're a train wreck. I will say this. People forget it because they won the Super Bowl last year. They were somewhat of a train wreck offensively the first half of last year, too. They had a bunch of games last year. They lost to the Colts last year. They muddled through a Chargers game that they ended up winning because of a pick -six that went 99 yards the other way. They struggled offensively against the Bills. They ended up beating the Raiders on a Monday night last year, but they were down 17 -0, and they needed to come back in that game. They were not good offensively for stretches of last season, and then they're them. In January, they cranked it up, and that was it. Even on one ankle, Mahomes did enough to win. But this has been the year before that. They were 3 -4 at the beginning of the year. They couldn't score a point in that season. That was the year Mahomes played, again, by his standards, not by anybody else's, but by his standards. He played poorly. You go to 2021, and they lost in the AFC title game. They were 3 -4, and then people say, oh, well, then they came out of it. They did in terms of that they won games. Their point totals after that 3 -4 start, they won 20 -17, 13 -7. Then they blew the Raiders out, scored 41, 19 -9, 22 -9. The last couple of years, they've had stretches like this, but by their standards, they're a disaster offensively right now. By the NFL's standards, they're probably somewhere between 10 -12th in the league offensively. So, got to take it for what it's worth. Yeah. All right. Let's get to the next game here. The Bengals and the Bills will go right to Sunday Night Football, speaking of a team that by their standards is an offensive disaster, despite what EPA will tell you. I'm not here to bag on the analytics, guys. I will tell you this. I'm a big eye test guy. You watch the Bills. My eye test, I don't care that they're fourth or whatever in EPA offensively. They have not been good over the last month and change. I don't think there's any way to say that otherwise. They go to Cincinnati. They made it a little bit closer at the end, but they were down 24 -10 with a few minutes left. They score a touchdown. They get the two, but they can't get the ball back. The Bengals now, 5 -3. Winners of four straight playing like we expected them to play at the beginning of the year. The Bills are 5 -4. It has been a struggle for them. They started the year 3 -1. Since then, they're 2 -3 going in the other direction. They have a very hard schedule. We'll get to that in a moment. What was your main takeaway from that Bengals -Bills game? Just the difference in quarterback play between Joe Burrow and Josh Allen and how to cover that game. I wrote about it. I kept seeing Joe Burrow moving around the pocket and extending plays. Then I look at the boxer, I'm like, wait, he has four rushing yards? I thought he ran for a bunch of yards. I know he had that one where he had the first down kind of signal. It's just when pressure comes, he knows how to move. It's smooth. It's not like he has to speed it up. He just says, okay, cool. You're right there, but I'm still going to do what I have to do and just extend plays. Matt, when it's Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson and Erskine Jr., Trenton Irwin, these guys are making plays. Then you look at Josh Allen, when the pressure comes, it looks difficult. It's chaotic. He has to kind of see what's out there and then, okay, force a throw or miss a throw. I get the Bengals defense is better than the Bills defense, so Burrow had maybe an easier time, but there was pressure. He was fighting pressure. I get it. The second there is not as good there, but it just seems harder for Josh Allen.
The Financial Guys
A highlight from The Economic Impact of Business Owner Outmigration
"It seems like our local GOP leadership, well, I'm not gonna say the conservatives, but the constitutionalists, they don't really care about the community. You never see community initiatives or outreach. And the Democrats and the socialists have that locked down. I mean, as much as there's crime and there's this and that, they're still out in the community kind of giving back. I mean, Mark Poloncarz was just at the Grider Street Community Center a week or so ago, giving out free hot dogs. And unfortunately, that's what people, the voters, the Democrat voters who do outnumber us, that's what they see. It's like instant gratification and they forget everything that's been done. And how do you defeat that? ["Oh, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa"] Hey, welcome back. Mike Lomas, Glenn Wiggle actually taking off, Ron Rheinstein in with me. We've got a special guest on the live line here. We'll talk a little bit about what happened last night. Erie County stuck on stupid again. The pain, the pain. Nationwide though, just not Erie County. Yeah, we're going to talk to an optimist in a little bit who's a workhorse here in Erie County, Nancy Ortecelli. But I got to be honest, I texted her this morning. I'm like, I feel like drinking. And it's like seven o 'clock in the morning. Can we take a personal day? Can we take a personal day? You're just so beat up. I mean, it's just, you know, it's like, you have to ask yourself, how could these people be this dumb? Well, how could you be this dumb? And it's not even rhetorical. Everything you've touched has turned to shit and you continue to vote for the same exact shit. It's just unreal. Because here's, this is just from a sleepless knife yesterday into today. People that left the cities, they're just like, I got to get away from the crime. I got to get away from the poverty, all the above. And their shitty voting has metastasized like a cancer in the suburbs. And it just keeps going and going and going. Well, they don't show up. That's what's so frustrating. Well, there's also that. I mean, you look at the numbers and it's like, how in the world do you not show up? I'm actually going through my phone yesterday. I'm saying, don't forget to vote. Don't forget to vote. Who's on the ballot? That's what I've got to think about. Like, how could you be that freaking stupid? I know. But the other, I mean, even if you look at an area where I grew up in Chictawaga and yes, the demographic has changed substantially since I left in 1998, but for the fact of the matter of the third world that has been imported, the taxes, the last county executive or not, the supervisor, she hammered two increases on the property assessments. It's back to back. Highest taxes in the country. And on top of that, the last one, because she's, again, the politicians, how they're just full of shit. Oh, that's our bad. You know, we're not even, well, maybe up for a second. Oh, we're not going to do another reassessment for two years and then literally the next year, here comes the next increase and all our bad, but we won't do it again. However, you got to pay. Yeah, sorry about that. And that's, and you look at the votes that were cast for supervisor. And I mean, again, how close it was and it'll go to recount. That's it? That's the amount of people that voted? Yeah, well, the GFP didn't do anything with absentee ballots there. So it'll go the other way. Before I forget, download our app, search Financial Guys Media in your app store and be sure to click notifications so you don't miss our weekly media drops. So don't forget about our app. Let me introduce Nancy Oreticelli. I was able to grab her. I know she's extremely busy. Nancy, what is your title today? Besides a miss of everything. I don't know, like, what is your exact title? You're everywhere, you know, constitution coalition, all this stuff. What is your, do you have a title? I mean, Antifa has called me a lot of things. So I know I work for an assemblyman, for assemblyman David DiPietro. I am on the executive board of the Erie County conservatives. I do, I'm the president of the constitutional coalition of New York state. So yeah, I do a lot of things. So that's who I am. I just, I believe in freedom and liberty and no matter what it looks like, I'm not a person who gives up and talking to a couple of people this morning, they're like, why do you sound so happy? I was like, well, I'm used to this. This is how it is here in Erie County. It's nothing new. It's not like - I know, you'd think all of us between the political environment here and then the bills and sabers, we'd be used to disappointment, right? We're like, let's roll out of that. Like, all right, I get it. Let me ask you, let's start out with the county executive race. I mean, what happened there? You know, you can't, first of all, he's literally, the cops are showing up because he's restraining a woman. We had people die in a storm because of his mismanagement. We had a record amount of businesses closed because of the way he handled COVID, right? I mean, you can't ask. And then he drops off all these illegal immigrants. They, 13 out of 50 of them get arrested and brought it up on charges. They destroy a hotel. I mean, it's like, okay, maybe you're not happy with Chrissy, but boy, you have to be some kind of a mental midget to say that's a good - And crimes on the rise. And crimes on the rise, record number. We don't want to enforce laws. Here's your appearance ticket. Yeah, number two in the entire country for Carstola. Number one is our neighbor Rochester. Number two, so what the heck happened? So people are misinformed. And it's like you just said, when you called and texted people and they said, who's on the ballot? Nobody cares anymore because it seems like our local GOP leadership are, well, I'm not gonna say the conservatives, but the constitutionalists, they don't really care about the community. You never see community initiatives or outreach. And the Democrats and the socialists have that locked down. I mean, as much as there's crime and there's this and that, they're still out in the community kind of giving back. I mean, polling cars was just at the Grider Street Community Center a week or so ago, giving out free hot dogs. And unfortunately, that's what people, the voters, the Democrat voters who do outnumber us, that's what they see. It's like instant gratification and they forget everything that's been done. And how do you defeat that? And I think the GOP needs to get out in the community more. I mean, they've had their get out the vote rallies that of consisted maybe 20 to 25 committee members. It wasn't the community. Do you know what I'm saying? And they don't - No, I get it. I was gonna say, but how - Nothing beats a good sailing hot dog. Yeah, here's your meat cylinder, go vote for four years and more tyranny. It's true, it's true. Well, that's, you're right. But the thing is, is, but then you take it a step further. You go fill up your car, holy shit, part of my life. That's even higher than it was a month ago. You go to the grocery store and our household, we do okay. But every time, between my wife, myself, and our two kids, and here's four bags, that was 300 bucks. Daughter, oldest daughter and my wife were down in Tennessee last week. My daughter was looking at the possibility of University of Tennessee. And she says to me, she said, "'Dad, do you know gas is a dollar a gallon cheaper there?' So I went through this whole thing about, you know, it's taxes. She's like, you're kidding me, just taxes. I said, yep, yep, that's the difference, difference between one state and the other. And every time somebody puts gas in their tank, it's an extra 30, 40 bucks here, as opposed to down there. So - So that's you and that's me, but that's not the urban voters. The urban voters are in poverty because of Democrat policies. But yeah, it's still vote that way. But they still vote that way because they'll come and give you free stuff a few times a year. They'll give you hot dogs. They'll give you backpacks. They'll give you this and that. A lot of them maybe don't have vehicles to fill up. Do you know what I'm saying? That's a fair point. But it's, you know what? Now that we're talking, Nancy, that also works against us too. I mean, we are top 10 in the country in poverty. Yeah, top three, I think. Per capita. Yeah, the city of Buffalo is, I think, two or three. Here's the, you know, our fair city. To your point, and I think you mentioned this, you know, the GOP will run on reducing the taxes. And Nancy, you said, these people don't pay taxes. That's true. That's not a problem for them, right? Although it is funny when you interview some of them, they actually think they do. They'll say, well, it's not fair. We're paying our fair share. Like, now you don't pay any federal taxes, and you don't pay any state taxes. If you look at it, and this isn't to be negative, but, and again, money's money. And let's just say they make $50 ,000, they're married filing joint. With your standard deduction, you're probably, you have $25 ,000 maybe in taxes total. Yeah, well, most of them. But that's what I'm just saying. And then you're probably getting a real fund. That's right. Most of them are public assistance. That's right. Talk about the women vote. I mean, you know, you look at other places, other parts of the country, and the women have really rallied together to really change things. And it just, you know, last night, I was really hoping that like town of Amherst, town of Cheektowaga, the women would step up and say, okay, we've got a guy who's clearly, you know, he's abused women. He's threatened a process server, a female process server that he's going to shoot her. And then the cops are showing up. I mean, well, I would think the moms would say, and it's amazing to me, I'm watching his speech last night, I'm thinking all these hypocrite Democrats, they're all, oh, believe the women, believe the women, unless it's a Democrat that can shove the left -wing agenda down your throat, then we don't believe them. So here's my take, two points I want to make. You know, talking about the women vote, I had a phone call the other week and somebody, it was actually Stephon, and he said, do you know a strong woman leader in Western New York who could do calls for Chrissy? And I was like, no, do you? I don't know any woman. There is no strong woman. I said, what about Lynn Dixon? They already had her. And I had thought about it. Mike, you probably remember a few years ago, I came to visit you. I wanted to start a women's group, but the coalition took off. And you know, if there's any women out there, women who would like to start a women's group, I'll help. I mean, I can't run it, but I'll help to get strong women elected. But there isn't. And then you have Moms for Liberty here in Erie County, but for some reason, the GOP will not unite with the grassroots organizations. Moms for Liberty have been phenomenal across the nation because the establishment has partnered with them. I don't know why they won't do it here. I don't get it. And if you would just unite, and it's the same issue with the conservatives and the Republicans, it's no secret we are outnumbered by Democrats. And so what happens with the conservatives and the Republicans who should be working together? The Republicans try to take over the legislature seat that was supposed to be conservative. You know, it was supposed to go to Lindsay Larrigo and they fought it with Jim Malcheski. I like Jim Malcheski and Lindsay Larrigo. They're both great people, but the GOP spent so much money on that primary that they had nothing to give to Chrissy to get her name out during this election because nobody knew who Chrissy was. And then they tried to do a party takeover in Evans where they switched a bunch of Democrats to conservatives, the GOP there did, to try to take over that party. And Ralph Larrigo did a lawsuit and the lawsuit is not finished yet, but the GOP candidate lost miserably. So they're focusing on things that should be uniting us, but they're dividing us instead of uniting. Look at West Connecticut and Lancaster. Those towns won amazingly for their town boards because the conservative committees and the Republican committees there are united and they work together. And I don't understand what the whole issue was with the Republicans trying to take out the conservatives this summer. It was baffling to me. So instead of focusing on Mark polling cars, you're gonna try to take a legacy away from a conservative candidate that it was already in the bag for them. You're gonna focus on a fight that was already a constitutionally minded candidate that was in there. It was a given, what a waste of resources and what a waste of time. That's a shame. Yeah, that's a shame. Absolutely. Well, the financial guys are here to help. I'd like to get you on the radio as well. We'll find that, hopefully we can find a strong female. That's what we need. You need the female vote. I mean, last night, the female vote shows up because Mark had been called, accused of holding a woman, I don't know, hostage or whatever. I mean, holding against her will, but they didn't show up. And they're like, God, that's so frustrating. The last thing before I let you go, the frustrating part to me and folks like Ron is we're in the business community, right? And so we're constantly getting involved. We're constantly trying to do our part. And sometimes I feel guilty because I look at somebody like you and I'm like, oh, I feel like a slug. But yeah, like, oh man, I really do. But the business community, I am just at awe this morning that they didn't show up at all. I mean, at all. How many restaurants did Mark destroy during COVID? How many gyms did he destroy? Now, some of these folks were strong enough to make it through, but I'm gonna be honest with you. If I owned a restaurant, I am never forgetting that. Now, I might be a little bit different of an animal because his picture and Gal Bernstein's picture would be on the front door and there would be a message that says, hey, if you're these people and you're walking in, do not bother, right? I mean, that's where I would be. But I get it. Some of these folks say, well, you know, I don't wanna be that aggressive. Okay, could you send Christie a hundred bucks? Could you put a sign out front of the restaurant to say, hey, just saying, I mean, like, not one. Well, that was the fault of the GOP, that they don't know how to fundraise. They really don't. And like I said before, their fundraisers consisted of just their own committee members. The public doesn't want anything to do with the GOP because the GOP has alienated them. Now, Michael Crocker is a good guy. I've met him. I've worked with him. He's really good, but he's got a lot to fix from the previous leadership. And yeah, I wouldn't want that job. I know. I know. You know what? It's funny you said that because I was talking to Glenn about it and Glenn's like, oh, they needed this. The hardest part about that is so many people have left. When you look at, and I'll say for America, I think it's a great thing, right? I mean, Florida is gaining delegates. New York is losing delegates. Florida had a $21 billion surplus. New York is going to go bankrupt at some point. I don't know when, but the math doesn't work, right? You cannot have the, and the 25 % of people that have left, they're all the top taxpayers, right? They're the ones paying the bills. Mike, this all sounds racist. Stop. That's right. Math is racist. But I mean, that's, even if the people that leave and, you know, from clients and friends and family that are in these Southern states, they still care, but they got up and left. Oh yeah. I mean, it's just - Well, they're not voting, right? They're not participating. Even if voting, but like, even if they've sent a check, like you said to Chrissy, but that's just the whole thing. They're gone. They're gone. I know, but you have, for the people, and I guess maybe this is where my deficiency comes with this, is that I'm like occupying common sense, I guess, way too much. But how the hell do people, again, you look at this, this sobering statistics or drive around the area, what the hell is coming here? Nothing. What is leaving here? A lot. A lot. What is beneficial that is derived from low -T polling cars? Let's just go over the last five years, the scandemic. How many people were affected by that? And how many businesses were lost? How many people, again, how many people have been Vax injured? Because, well, I can't go to the Bills game or the Sabres game, but seriously, I'm gonna roll up my sleeve. You were able to see the playoffs wave, but now you got my old car died. Or, again, my employer's forcing me, because this shit bag in City Hall is following crime wave Kathy, or Andrew, I killed your grandmother, Cuomo. Then you take it further. How many people died in nursing homes alone? One of my best friend's sister died in a hospital alone. Why is that, you may ask? Oh, because she tested positive for the Wuhan sniffles. Yes, I know. And these stories are out there. Yeah, I know. And yet there is zero messaging. And this is from Chrissy. This is from the GOP. This is from any Republican candidate that you can absolutely, and again, voting aside, fundraising aside, but if you got that message out there, debt would resonate. You need money to do that. You do, which is fair. And you need lots of it. I said from day one, I said for Chrissy to win, she probably needs a million bucks. And I think that's a fair number. And I think she got a total of about 150 ,000 from the business community. She was well, well, well underfunded. And I don't know, I was down there last night, I don't know if you got a chance to see her speech last night, but you could tell she cared. There was a few conservatives are sending messages, oh, she can't cry. I'm like, bullshit, she can't cry. She can do whatever she wants to do. You have the stones to step up. Then I was able to see her in the hallway before I said, Chrissy, that she's like, oh man, I feel like a failure. I said, Chrissy, I said, there's a million people in this freaking town, a million people. Do you know who was the only one that stepped up against this piece of shit, Mark Poloncarz? You. So don't let anybody ever tell you that you shouldn't do what you wanna do. There are so many armchair quarterbacks that oh, I should have done this, should have done that. I'm like, Chrissy, you're the only one. Guess what? Mike Lomas could have ran. I could have ran. I could have signed up. I didn't. Now - I feel like I told you to.

"Vehicles annually and will create at least 4000 permanent jobs. Linda kenyon, CBS needs. About 300 lightning strikes and storms rolling through the Bay Area this morning and last night, this weather is not over yet. It is 1205 the Bay Area's news station case CBS good afternoon, I'm Dan Nicholson. National weather service issuing a winter weather advisory for the interior mountains in the north bay east bay hills in eastern Santa Clara hill, snow could stick above 2100 feet. This advisory is set to stay with us through about 4 o'clock this afternoon. Meanwhile, the Sierra is taking another direct hit. Chris Anne Carlo reports, nature's show machine, a snow machine rather is stuck in the on position. The day started as so many have this winter. With snowfall rates over two inches per hour. National weather service meteorologist Brittany whitlam says people should watch this storm from afar, the California highway patrol says conditions are treacherous and several roads are closed. The best course of action is to stay off the roads today. And get this, the UC Berkeley central Sierra snow lab says 119 inches of snow have fallen on donner pass just in the last week. We're within one foot of passing the 2016 17 season with more on the way. So we're looking at snow showers continuing through at least Wednesday, generally we're looking at a maybe a brief break on Thursday, potentially stormy, weather continuing through mid March essentially. Of course, all of this means that there is an avalanche risk the Sierra avalanche center putting it at high. Given the record snow fact that we're seeing in the Sierra, that leads to some unstable snow conditions. And then as well as we've seen some pretty strong winds over the past few days. By the way, more than 562 inches of snow have fallen on donner past this season, Chris Ann Carlo case CBS. Meanwhile, to the south of us, convoys of food and supplies headed to the snow communities in San Bernardino, but people may still be snowed in for a while, reporter Natalie to Vivian has an update from one man who was able to get out.

"Outnumber those that are lower. That is flip flopping today with about 300 names in the red. The S&P 500 going to close lower by 40 points or 1% here on the day, the Dow Jones Industrial Average down about 5 tenths of a percent, the NASDAQ composite down almost 2%, 1.7%. And the Russell 2000 that have been one of the bright spots here is a lot of people did try to sort of rotate back into the most smaller cap and some of those cyclical names lower by 5 tenths of a percent. We just spoke with Mona mahajan senior investment strategist over at Edward Jones and she predicts volatility between now and the end of the year Taylor, but she could see some opportunities post midterms because she talked about the seasonality and the trends that we tend to see, post midterm elections. Really interesting. Let's take a look at where we are in terms of the individual sector level here as I know that we're waiting. Some of the other quarterly results that will come through. It is what is old is new again. Take a look at this. It's energy. It's capital goods. It's materials. It's transportation. Those are the sectors within the S&P 500 that are leading the gains today to the downside though as you can see there in the red, it's the same story. It's meeting entertainment software services, technology, and hardware as well. When you think about the big tech laggards on the day, I think I just want to get to quickly Expedia Katie and then we'll come to you as well when we got the great numbers out of Booking Holdings yesterday. Third quarter gross bookings now out of Expedia look a little bit light. 23.9 billion estimates have been for above 25 billion all the way down to the bottom line to get a small miss third quarter adjusted EPS of four O 5 estimates have been for four O 7 and Katie finally here third quarter revenue. Maybe just right here on the nose, 3.6 versus estimates again of 3.6, but clearly a less of a big winner than we got from the booking numbers yesterday. Yeah, and you can see Expedia shares moving lower post market. Let's get to some of the gainers though, 'cause there's a few interesting stories I want to highlight peloton. How about it? Revenue forecast was weaker than expected. You had Wall Street spooked about the company's cash burn, but somehow the company ended up 8% higher, I'm not exactly sure why you did have the new CEO Barry McCarthy come out and say that the turnaround, it's a work in progress, but the ship is turning maybe that explains some of what's going on here. But in any case. Yeah, I'm just going to interrupt you. Sorry, Katie. I just saw some more breaking news. This is actually on Canada. We don't pay a whole lot of attention to their budget proposals. But this one is interesting. Canada is going to impose a 2% tax on stock buybacks. This would actually go into effect in January of 2024, so more than a year from now, but a significant move should this sort of go through to kind of bolster the country's budget. And more importantly, to address I think some of the issues that we're also dealing with here in the United States with regards to at least how the government views of some of these buyback trends. We'll keep an eye on that. But we do want to get back to some of the movers and some of the earnings crossing the wire Tim. Yeah, well, let's go to some of the decliners right now. I want to talk about Amazon because the company's shares closed down 3.1%. It's its longest losing streak going all the way back to 2019. Think back to last week when the company reported its slowest growth for the current quarter in its history, that has spooked investors. The company over the last 8 days, 7 days, excuse me, has lost 25% of its market value. And has fallen below $1 trillion in market cap. Paramount global finishing it down today down by 3.5%. It did fall more than 12% yesterday after profit and sales fell short, but at least today what we're seeing is four firms, at least four firms cutting their price target on the company. And then Shake Shack is an inflation story. Reported earnings this morning shares falling 8.2% today. The company did say that it expects quote modest ongoing pressure to our shack level operating profit margins for the next several quarters. Let's get to what is a story of cross asset moves and basically everything under pressure. If you're looking in the sea of red that is the commodity space, that on the back of a stronger dollar. Now we are seeing some little bits of milk is on the upside. You'll be pleased to see and heating oil. But in general, oil is on the lower side, wilting under the pressure of a worry about growth we see WTI off by more than 2% Brent off by 1.7% and then go across to the FX space. Everything in the red apart from Bloomberg dollar index that is stronger to the tune of 6 tenths percent. I train your eyes to the second one there, the British pound up by more than 2%. On a day where they hike by 75 basis points in the UK as well. The first time they've done that since the late 80s, but they're more worried about the growth trajectory of the UK and more worried about a Federal Reserve that remains so much more hawkish Vis-à-vis the rest sovereign bond yields pushing higher across the board whether in Germany, France, Denmark, interesting comments, of course, coming on inflation from ECB's legat a little bit earlier. Still getting and waiting for some big results out of Starbucks. In the meantime, of course, take a look at the old story. This was such a full faith and credit kind of day. Again, coming off of the huge comments that we got from J Powell yesterday. It is a two year guild that again resets higher. I think we're higher now for about 5 straight days. I believe romaine as I know that we're getting some Starbucks shares, but it is also a big inverted yield curve as well under pressure. Yeah, Starbucks earnings crossing the wire right now. There are fourth quarter fiscal fourth quarter comp sales. They were up 7% here overall, the street was looking for 4%. So a big beat there by about three percentage points on comp sales as far as the revenue. It's coming in at 8.41 billion slightly higher than the 8.3 consensus estimate that the street was looking for here. Now of course we know the international story has not been good. International comp sales were actually down by 5%, but that was actually a little bit better than what the street was looking for, 8.23% is what the street thought they were going to hit. So overall here, the story for Starbucks appears to be the same. Overall growth, a lot of weakness in the international segment, but enough going on. Here in North America, to compensate for some of the international softness. Yeah, really interesting to hear it really interesting to hear from executives on the call about what's going on in China. I do want to point to what Howard Schultz who is back for a third time as interim CEO. He mentioned partners in the earnings release. That's, of course, people who work at Starbucks. He said, reinvention will touch and elevate every aspect of our Starbucks partner, customer, and store experience, and ideally

"Families. Still, she says about 300 families have signed up so far. I'm Matt Levin for marketplace. Tomorrow is the 11th of September and of the millions of stories of that day and of the past 20 years. We've been trying to find our way to the economic through lines since that Tuesday morning. We thought about doing this straight ahead. The cost of the attacks on New York and Washington and Shanksville, the economic damage done in those moments, the costs of the wars we fought since 2000 and one And we thought about all the infrastructure we've built in the past two decades, the PSA and the hardened buildings and new inspections and regulations, financial and otherwise. And then I went back to listen to our stories from this week in 2011. And I found this. Our generation asked. What were you doing when the twin towers fell and the same way that a generation ago we ask what we're doing with Kennedy was shot. So to me, I think that impact is so much greater than in the economic impact. You know how it affects our soul. That's economist Barack Blomberg on this program 10 years ago when he was at Claremont McKenna College. And that's funny for an economist. Use that word, But I think to me that's what I think of when I think September 11th and this is him today. There are much deeper, you know, impactful. Economic things than terrorism, Uh, in terms of impacting the economy, and I think over time people desensitize themselves to that. The uncertainty is still there. Now looking 20 years later, economist Nick Bloom is at Stanford. You realize 9 11 in some ways was the first ripple for a series of incredible uncertainty shocks he created something called the Economic Policy Uncertainty Index. Which, of course, followed by the global financial crisis, followed by the pandemic and followed by Trump. I mean, those three events show up on most measures is even bigger bust of uncertainty, the 9 11, and it's not just That this uncertainty has been piling on us for 20 years. So if you feel that, you know things are probably more uncertain than they have been for a long time. You're probably feeling about right. I mean, that seems to be the case for America. It's the kind of uncertainty economists talk about uncertainty, a couple of different ways one you can think of almost as, like, risk. It's uh, things that are uncertain that you know the distribution. So imagine rolling affair, dice. Any one of the six numbers has one chance in a you know, it's like going into a casino. It's uncertain what number the roulette wheel is going to come up to. But, you know, you know what the possibilities were, and that's kind of what it's been like covering this economy the past 20 years. I can make a pretty good guess most times about what this corporate move or that corporate move was going to be. What the Fed was going to do how consumers we're going to react. But underneath it Was a different strain of not knowing knowing 11 felt very different in its what economists called 19 uncertainty. It's something just you never conceived of. Certainly, I personally talked to pretty much anyone would never think of Terrorist hijacking planes and flying them into multiple buildings. And there's even kind of ironically, I guess. And not to Rumsfeld here to 19 uncertainty where things are just, you know, unknown unknowns is much harder to deal with the story of September. 11th in this economy isn't straight ahead. It's not just the absolute costs. The dollar amounts or the extra time something's take. It's 20 years of the uncertainty that Nick Bloom and Brock Blomberg are talking about 20 years and who knows how many more years of not.

The governor says. All efforts are possible being made to return things to normal, but he understands all of the frustrations Everyone knows. How challenging The past few days have been for our fellow Texas. I want everyone to know. That all of us and the state of Texas believe it is completely unacceptable that you had to endure one minute of the challenge that you faced. Texas Congressman Joaquin Castro San Antonio says an investigation needs to take place in tow. What led up to this week's power outage. There's gonna have to be a real real investigation into what needs to change so that it doesn't happen again. And also who exactly is to be held accountable for it. Castro says he's learned the entire power grid was about to go down just minutes or hours before the state started initiating the rolling blackouts. Millions, of course were left without power. As a result, city leaders are denying claims of this week's power and water outages were seen in mostly low income and minority neighborhoods as something that's been circulating on Social Media Ron Nirenberg coat, the mayor has heard the accusations to says he brought them to the city's power company.

Let's talk about what's going to happen, supposedly on Wednesday with the move to do certify the election, so a lot of moving parts to this will try toe work our way through them. But Jodi General will join us at 75 will really delve into it with him. So on Saturday, the president spoke with about 300 state legislators. Ah, from battleground states, so Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia. How did they do advance on a zoom conference call? We were just talking about that. You would think that by now our government would have come up with some kind of teleconferencing program that's secure. That has nothing to do with the Chinese. Yeah, we invented the Internet and they stole everything. Yeah. It was hosted by group called Got Freedom. It is a nonprofit election Integrity watchdog group. And in the call, The president urged lawmakers in those states to review evidence that the election process in their state what's was unlawful and to consider decertifying the results. Other speakers included a Chapman law professor John Eastman, You have Peter Navarro John Lot? Who's senior U. S Advisor U. S Justice Department. He was appearing. Is a personal capacity, as was Peter Navarro in a personal capacity, not an official government capacity and Phil Klein from Liberty University Law School. S O. They heat Phill Kline, also being the director of the Amistad project of the Thomas more society. They have been very involved in this the integrity of this past election. In his press statement, released after the call got Freedom, said they conducted Saturday's quote, exclusive national briefing at the request of state legislators. From Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to review the extensive evidence of irregularities and lawlessness in the 2020 presidential election. Ah, similar briefing scheduled at the Rico is going is being scheduled at the request of members of Congress. So that's they did on Saturday with the president speaking to them, Rick Rene L came out yesterday. And said that the president is in a really good position for the challenges. On Wednesday, he told news next at the Democrats have moved from there's not any fraud to. There's not widespread fraud, and now they're new mantra is there's not enough fraud to overturn the election? And he said, Everybody knows this election was full off fraud. And he said, Every time we try to bring it to the courts, they've just been largely dismissive. So he says, the rule of law and the processes that on Wednesday we get to showcase this to politicians and see where the chips fall, and he also praised Ted Cruz, who called for an emergency audit of the results. So let's talk about exactly what's going to happen on Wednesday. Yesterday, Jim Jordan was on with Maria Bartiromo. He gave an excellent explanation about what the GOP's goals are with. The objections are and what the fight is about. So I'm gonna let you tell because you laid it out really beautifully. Here's Jim Jordan. Tell me what you're planning to do. Conference? Well, a sinner, a truce that it's about The Constitution. Article one Section four is very clear. It says the time manner in place for holding elections is determined in each state by the Legislature. They're off. Take Pennsylvania, for example. Pennsylvania State Law says Election day in that eight o'clock on Election Day, the Supreme Court pencil aces no broken extended three days till five o'clock on Friday state long, Pennsylvania says. For every absentee mail in ballot. There has to be a signature verification. The secretary of state, Pennsylvania says No, we're not going to do that. We're not gonna have this thing. We're gonna cheat just unilaterally went around the law for 2.6 million mail in ballots. The state law, Pennsylvania is clear. It says there that mail in ballots cannot be processed until election Day. But some counties in Pennsylvania allow ballots to be fixed. Cured before election Day. Maria take a guess which counties allowed that Democrat County's with Democrat County commissioners and clerks allow that to happen. Republican counties did it. The Republican counties in Pennsylvania followed the law. So when the time place and manner is not in here to a nut, that that the Legislature said that is a direct violation of the Constitution, and that disenfranchises the votes in the district, I get the privilege of representing in the fourth District of Ohio that disenfranchises the votes that Mo gets through people more represents in Alabama and countless number of people around the country and understand this. Finally, it wasn't us. Was it Ruth Bater Ginsberg delayed justice said this the ultimate date of significance is January 6. This is how the process works. The ultimate arbiter here. The ultimate check and balance is the United States Congress and when something is done in an unconstitutional fashion, which happened in several of these states, we have a duty to step forward and have this debate and have this vote on the sixth.
