The Breakdown

A highlight from The Latest Attack from Elizabeth Warren's Anti-Crypto Army

"Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, NLW. It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin and the big picture power shifts remaking our world. What's going on, guys? It is Thursday, October 19th, and today we are talking about the latest salvo of Elizabeth Warren's anti -crypto army. Before we get into that, however, if you are enjoying The Breakdown, please go subscribe to it, give it a rating, give it a review, or if you want to dive deeper into the conversation, come join us on the Breakers Discord. You can find a link in the show notes or go to bit .ly slash breakdown pod. Hello friends. Today is blissfully not a Sam Bankman free trial day, and instead we're going to be talking about the other big topic that has lurked for the last couple of weeks, which is of course crypto's role in terrorism financing. Now as was completely expected, Senator Elizabeth Warren has used the Warren Israel to renew her calls for tighter anti -money laundering controls to be applied to the crypto industry. On Tuesday, Warren wrote letters to both the U .S. Treasury and the White House calling for officials to quote, take strong action to thoroughly address crypto illicit finance risks before it can be used to finance another tragedy. Alongside Warren, over 100 lawmakers co -signed the letter. These signatories were largely Democrats from both the House and the Senate, and the letter said, as Congress considers legislative proposals designated to mitigate crypto money laundering and illicit finance risks, we urge you to swiftly and categorically act to meaningfully curtail illicit crypto activity and protect our national security and that of our allies. The letter leaned heavily on Wall Street Journal reporting from last week, which had framed Hamas as quote, one of the most sophisticated crypto users in the terror finance domain. Also unsurprisingly, Warren's letter did not mention that Hamas had announced the suspension of their use of Bitcoin to receive donations in April, citing concerns that the ability to easily trace Bitcoin transactions would put supporters at risk. It did however acknowledge that authorities have successfully seized dozens of crypto accounts owned by terrorist groups over the past year. The letter set out a series of questions, quote, regarding Treasury's plans to address the serious national security threats posed by the use of cryptocurrency to finance terrorism. The questions largely related to steps currently being taken and asking for the administration's estimates of the size of the problem. Wall Street Journal reporting had estimated that over 130 million in crypto had been raised by Hamas and the affiliated terrorist group Palestine Islamic Jihad since August 2021. Now it is notable that support for this letter was much broader than Warren had previously gathered for her crypto anti -money laundering efforts. For example, crypto -friendly Democrats Josh Gottheimer and Jake Auchincloss were included in the ranks of co -signatories. Republican Roger Marshall, who has provided support across the aisle for Warren's anti -money laundering bill, also signed on to the letter. And as an indication of support within senior Democrat circles, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Sherrod Brown also signed. Brown will of course be a significant decision maker on whether the Warren bill progresses through the committee stage, and he tweeted yesterday, Hamas's terrorism is fueled by cryptocurrency. We need to crack down on illicit crypto and stop terrorists from moving money around, evading sanctions, and funding their acts of evil. We must curb this emerging threat and protect our national security. Now alongside the letter, Warren penned an op -ed in, once again, the Wall Street Journal with Roger Marshall as a co -author. The article laid out what has been reported about the use of crypto and terrorist financing to date. It claimed that, quote, Crypto has become a crucial pipeline for financing terrorist organizations, and researchers agree that the publicly reported numbers are likely a small percentage of the actual total. This revenue stream demonstrates the dangerous gaps in our oversight of international money flows. Terrorists, rogue nations, drug traffickers, and other criminals are using cryptocurrency to endanger our allies and U .S. national security. It's past time to apply the same anti -money laundering rules to crypto that already apply to banks, brokers, check cashers, and even precious metal dealers before these loopholes allow terrorists to finance more attacks. The lawmakers asserted that, quote, Decentralized finance companies should be subject to the same anti -money laundering rules as banks. Now that is essentially the proposal in the Warren -Marshall bill. The DeFi protocol should have KYC requirements placed on them in line with the rules applied to banks and large financial institutions. Industry figures have called the proposal entirely unworkable for small DeFi startups. And of course, it's generally believed that the bill would be more likely to result in U .S. users being banned from accessing DeFi rather than leading to ubiquitous on -chain KYC. Today's episode is brought to you by Kraken. For far too long, the whole financial system has been standing still. Too slow. Only on for certain hours. Overly designed for some types of people, but not for others. Crypto, at its best, represents progress. It asks the question, what if? It invites people in instead of leaving them out. It's on 24 -7, 365, and moves at the speed of real life. Not everyone believes it. We've got our fair share of detractors. But that's the way it always is when you're building something new. Kraken is a crypto company that has been through the highs and lows of the industry, facing forwards towards progress throughout. And now they're inviting us to see what crypto can be.

As you might imagine, the industry had a lot of commentary on this letter and the surrounding issues. G. Kim, the head of policy at the Crypto Council for Innovation, said, In the U .S., we have clear AML -CFT rules and requirements for U .S. exchanges. From there, Kim pushed back on Warren's bill, noting that the issue is largely an international one which isn't addressed by domestic laws. He said that the crypto industry wants to work with lawmakers to, quote, stamp out illicit activity and that, quote, the industry can be a helpful partner. Then there was Norbert Michel, who wrote a piece for the Cato Institute this week called A Crackdown on Crypto Won't Stop Hamas. A key quote from the piece was, In a perfect world, it would be out of bounds to use incidents of horrific violence against innocent people to revive an otherwise unrelated political agenda. Nonetheless, it seems that Senator Elizabeth Warren and her colleagues are going to use the recent violence in Israel to gather support for the Digital Asset Anti -Money Laundering Act, a bill Warren's been hawking for months. Now, one really important thing to note here is that this bill is not focused on exchanges that have been caught processing Hamas transactions. It's about a seemingly unrelated issue of forcing KYC onto DeFi protocols. Former CFTC commissioner and now head of policy at A16Z Crypto Brian Quinten said, No serious policy maker would take a view on crypto and illicit finance without addressing the arguments of this piece. But maybe serious policy isn't the goal of some in D .C. when it comes to crypto. Alexander Grieve, who does government affairs at Paradigm, wrote, Crypto opponents will continue to tie crypto to illicit finance, despite that being a small subset of a larger industry and an order of magnitude difference relative to illicit finance in opaque tradfi in order to fit their narrative. Regardless of these opponents' motivations, however, crypto needs to play our part in pushing out any bad actors. So it is up to us to come up with policy solutions and practical technical ones where possible. Until we do, we're going to keep seeing these kinds of letters. Austin Campbell responded, The irony is that cracking down forces more of this offshore, which is where the problems are. Hamas has a nexus to offshore exchanges in Tether, not onshore. Just ban things is the tech -illiterate answer. Blockchain Association wrote a long thread, basically saying that of course the crypto industry does not support terrorist activity, but that Warren's letter was just wrong. They write, Here are the facts. Claim, crypto financing is responsible for the horrific actions of Hamas. Fact, crypto networks are transparent and for this reason Hamas ceased to accept Bitcoin earlier this year, citing the success of law enforcement efforts to track down donors. Only a small fraction of Hamas's funding has come from crypto. And what portion of that small amount was directly used to fund the attacks is unclear. Claim, Hamas evaded U .S. sanctions by raising millions of dollars in crypto. Fact, Hamas and non -U .S. entities have no obligation to follow U .S. sanctions laws. And they go on, but you get the gist. Now, one thing to note is that if you think it's just crypto folks who are making some of these arguments, assistant law professor at Willamette, Rohan Gray, who's no big fan of crypto but is a big fan of privacy, wrote, It's bad that we haven't built such a perfectly surveilled financial system that oppressed groups cannot fund themselves is not the progressive angle on this issue in my opinion. This isn't a Hamas -specific issue, it's an architectural issue. In the 1950s, it was the NAACP getting donations and the racist governor of Alabama trying to use that process as a weak point to demand donor lists and harass its supporters. In a separate tweet, Gray said, There are significant civil liberties costs and broader social risks of repressing dissent and marginalized communities by building a financial system that allows centralized actors to surveil and censor all transactions. We've been trying to make this point to the Warren wing for a while. Unfortunately, most of them are too busy hating on crypto to realize they've taken the wrong side of the financial privacy debate. I don't have all that much to add here, other than the things that people have already said. It is clearly on the face of it preposterous to say that these attacks happened because Hamas had access to money via crypto. It's just not true. It's not true in terms of a percentage of money that Hamas had from crypto in general, and it's certainly not true that they have some magical insight that those dollars were used to fund this attack. Using that sort of rhetoric is clear political opportunism, but it's very unlikely that a lot of people are going to call it out given the sensitivity of these issues, which is exactly why folks like Elizabeth Warren use these opportunities. Frankly, this is exactly the type of interaction that shows why people get so frustrated with American politics, but I digress. Now, speaking of sanctions, on Wednesday, the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control once again expanded the sanctions list in response to illicit crypto usage. While Hamas is already designated as a terrorist group, this update added 10 new members, operatives and financial facilitators operating in Gaza. Crypto wallet addresses were identified, including one Bitcoin address owned by a Gaza -based exchange known as Buy Cash Money and Money Transfer Company. The business, along with its owner and primary operator, were alleged to, quote, be linked to Hamas and were also added to the sanctions list. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a statement, Now, blockchain analytics firm Elliptic reported on Wednesday that several designated terrorist groups had used that particular exchange. They claimed that over $25 million in Bitcoin and Tether had been moved through it since 2015. At the same time, as some pointed out, one of the sanctioned wallets has around $16 worth of value in it and made its last transfer 18 months ago, bringing up the question of just how much this is for show versus an actual effective policy. Speaking of just for show, on Wednesday, blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis published a blog post titled, Correcting the Record, Inaccurate Methodologies for Estimating Cryptocurrency's Role in Terrorism Financing. Chainalysis is, of course, one of the premier firms for providing statistics on illicit funding flows through crypto networks, as well as in assisting authorities to disrupt, freeze, and seize assets. Their blog post stated that, quote, Chainalysis noted that terrorism financing is, quote, They recognized that, quote, And yet, in spite of this, they point out that, quote, Chainalysis walked through the newly sanctioned exchange by cash as a case study. They dug into specific transactions flowing to and from the exchange and concluded that it functioned more like a street -level money changer rather than being exclusively used for terrorist financing. According to Chainalysis, 82 million had flowed through the recently sanctioned address since February. Of those flows, Chainalysis found that only 450 ,000 worth of crypto was transferred to other addresses affiliated with terrorist financing. They noted that rather than the full amount which has been cited in recent reporting, Neeraj Agarwal from Coincenter summed it up this way, It looks like those estimates assume all flows through service providers that process illicit transactions are illicit. That's probably not the case. To simplify, if there's a rogue exchange that does a billion dollars in volume and they process one $1 ,000 Hamas transaction, it shouldn't be counted as $1 billion to Hamas. Neeraj also poured some cold water on a statistic that's been floating around that suggests that the UN estimates that cryptocurrencies account for 20 % of terrorist financing. Neeraj said, Basically, a senior legal official at the UN Counterterrorism Committee, Svetlana Marinovay, said in an interview from last year that a few years ago, 5 % of terror attacks were believed to be financed using crypto and she added that, In other words, this thing that is reported as fact is just a made -up source. Now, whether or not there is dubious information going into all of these things, it doesn't matter in how it's impacting crypto's place in Washington. A new research report from Berenberg Capital Markets claims that the reported use of crypto to fund Hamas may have set back crypto lobbying efforts in Washington. The report stated that efforts to pass crypto legislation could be quote, Complicated by recent media reports that put a spotlight on Hamas's use of crypto as a means of fundraising in recent years. And that quote, So friends, there you have it. If that's the latest, what we will be keeping an eye on is the extent to which this picks up particular momentum or whether this was the type of thing that was a one -time flag signaling for these 100 signatories who just wanted to be associated with the anti -terrorism team, which is how this letter tried to portray itself. To the extent that this does pick up and this bill becomes more of a going concern, I will of course let you guys know here. For now, I appreciate you listening as always. And of course, one more big thanks to today's sponsor Kraken. Go to kraken .com slash the breakdown to see what crypto can be. Till next time, be safe and take care of each other. Peace.

Hamas handed over a dozen more hostages last night and White House national security spokesman John Kirby hopes the pause will continue and is working to secure the release of American hostages. We don't have perfect visibility on where they are. We know Hamas can get to all the hostages if it wants to and has the ability to We'll do that. keep pressing to get these Americans out as much as we can. And White House spokesman John Kirby says the pause will depend on Hamas continuing to release hostages. CIA Director Bill Burns is in Qatar for talks about extending the ceasefire. Now we remember Charlie Munger, Karen, who died yesterday at the age of 99. Bloomberg's Tucker John is here to look back on the life of the legendary investor. And Nathan, as Warren Buffett's alter ego, Charlie Munger helped engineer a 3 ,800 ,000 percent return over the life of Berkshire takeaway. And one of Munger's biggest roles was steering Buffett away from investments he thought wouldn't pan out. There were so many of them that Buffett would refer to Munger as the Obama of old no man. A lawyer by training Munger helped develop a style of investing in companies for the long term. In 1962, they began investing in Massachusetts companies that made suit linings. Berkshire Hathaway became the corporate vehicle for a conglomerate. In 1987, they would make one of their best known investments, a billion dollars in Coca Cola.

It comes after FBI the earlier this month raided the home of Brianna Suggs involving a federal investigation into the mayor's campaign. During a news conference, Adams would only say Suggs is no longer doing fundraising for the campaign and declined to explain the reasons for the change. Mayor Adams also talked about the migrant crisis in the city and had some pointed words for the federal government saying we need to have a national solution to the problem. And as long passed through for the federal government to do its part and pay its fair share, New York City remains clear -eyed that for a year and a half now New Yorkers have been paying the federal government overdue and New Yorkers are angry.

"Alabama, bought it in 1951 and you can imagine they had a pretty tough time. Anyone who owned a farm down there had a tough time but a black family who saved up but I just want to read you what they took to have their piece of the American pie just a little of bit the deed. So they gave over everything, unencumbered, no leans, One red one horse mule named Red, one gray horse mule named Jack, one two horse wagon, one hay hay mover, one hay press, they gave mixed cattle, nine head of mixed cattle, one black sow hog, all of these things they gave over just to have their own piece of the American dream. And so when people talk about risk, when people talk about, you know, it's one I thing to can't say do it or to be intimidated, the industry is designed for everyone to be intimidated. So you hand your money over to a so -called expert, which is fine if that's what you want to do. But I am of the firm belief that if you buy and own great companies and manage your portfolio, that you can build a foundation for the next and taxes and so forth. You write about how all these implications affect what's going on. The Trump taxes are going to be lifted in about a year, year and a half, tax cuts that is. So how do you plan for that? What do you do? You do anything? Well, it depends on who you are, what tax bracket you're in. From an investing point of view, again, this is why you look at an company individual is. Many companies are smart. They're doing different things to take advantage or not take advantage, but in to get front of that, so to speak. Really, the bigger issue right now, to be quite frank with you, is the government spending. This is the biggest threat to the stock market and our economy and our prosperity. We are now at the where point Wall Street can no longer ignore

Moving to Selma Changed Our Lives: Unexpected Blessings, Unprecedented Favor

"Experienced a lot of favor in my life since becoming a Christian. That was really eye -catching and obvious. But one of the most powerful experiences that my wife and I have ever had was when we decided to follow our peace and move to Selma, Alabama. It was in 2020 so things were weird for everybody. So we just went with it. We were like, I don't know what's going on. And we had this elaborate plan to move to the beach. And Selma is not a good alternative to the beach. Selma is an impoverished area. It's a beautiful history and civil rights and just so many reasons to visit. But a hard place to go and live for sure here in America. And for American standards, it's actually a very impoverished area. And just it feels like you're in a real hard third world country on days. And so it's not an easy decision to move to Selma, Alabama. Especially when the beach was on the table. We actually had jobs lined up and everything there. But we just knew that we didn't have peace. And as disappointed as I was that there was no peace in moving to the beach, I just knew, okay, my wife is not having peace. I'm not having peace. What is the story here? God, what do you want us to do? And he basically explained to us that he wanted us to move to Selma. Through peace, that was his communication tool. So the thought of Selma came up. We thought, what about Selma? And our peace returned. And that contrast allowed us to make a decision that we should call our friend in Selma and see if there was anything that he needed us for. And of course, he did. He had an internship that we could move right into. And we had some money saved up, and so we moved. And the at very beginning, we noticed a tremendous amount of favor. It was unlike the place that we had been where, as some might say, the grace had kind of lifted a little bit in our previous situation, which had let us know that we needed to move on. But when we came into Selma, there was so much favor. People had genuine joy for us to even be here. We just felt like, wow, we made the best decision ever in moving. Because people were so wholeheartedly received us. And ever since we've lived here, my wife and I bought our first house here. And we've made good money here, and we've helped a lot of people. We've just done amazing things for the Kingdom of God, and we've been a part of so many things here. And we've built organizations and established different things here that are flourishing now. And I've never experienced favor like

I moved to the big city of New York, and that's where I joined the church. And then soon after, I served my mission in Riverside, California. Then after my mission, I moved to Utah, and I've been here ever since. I love dancing, especially salsa, hiking, baking, and I am thrilled to be part of this amazing podcast At the Table. Welcome to the At the Table podcast. This is a debut podcast where we're going to discuss some important things having to do with YSAs and other people around the church and what new initiatives are going to happen. Specifically, we're going to follow some of the strengthening YSA principles that have been released by the church just recently. And here with us, we have a couple of new guests, and we'll go ahead and let them introduce themselves. My name is John. I'm originally from New Jersey, but I'm here in Utah at the University of Utah. I'm Mary, and I also live here in Utah. I like John, go to the University of Utah, lived here my whole life aside from my mission in Alabama. Well, awesome. We're happy to have you here. How long ago did you serve? I was there a little over two years ago, and I served in a little Spanish branch. Shout out to the Cahaba Spanish branch in Birmingham, Alabama. And then I served for 10 months on the campus at University of Alabama, as well as serving in the family ward there. I would translate all the sacrament meetings, and then I was called back to the Spanish branch to finish out the rest of my So mission. I got to know those two areas very well. They're very near and dear to my heart. That's awesome. John, did you serve a mission? Yeah, I did. I actually served here in Utah, just up in Ogden. So I didn't even know they needed missionaries here in Utah, but I guess so. Yeah, I was here about two years ago, and I loved it. So I just stayed. I just stayed here in Utah, and now I'm going to school. So you're both at school here. So what are you both studying? I'm studying strategic communications and Spanish. Big fan of communicating. Maybe that's why I'm here speaking on a podcast. My major is world languages and cultures for now. That's probably going to change. I don't know, but I've just always kind of had an interest in world languages and cultures. So that's what I'm doing right now. That's cool that you guys served missions and that you loved that and you moved to here. Can you tell us a little bit of your experience here and how you've collaborated with other YSAs and how you've seen that you've been able to lead? Absolutely. I have done a lot within my ward specifically, but also within the institute. And I know institute classes look a lot different depending on where you are living, but basically just being able to gather with YSA has been hugely influential for my life, not just in the way that I've been supported, but in the way that I've been able to serve and connect with others around me. And that includes during COVID, during the time that we couldn't really matter and what connection really is and how to make that time when you gather actually worthwhile.

Bitcoin & Crypto Trading: Ledger Cast

25:52 min | 2 months ago

A highlight from Rate Pause

"Hello and welcome to Ledgercast. My name is Brian Crossguard here, as always, with one and only Josh Olsowich. Hey Josh. Mr. Brian. How you doing? How are you? I'm good. I'm happy to be with you today. You're already cards pulled up, ready to go. I got my best podcast hoodie on, you know. Only the best Ledgercast family. Getting the hoodie season, depending on what part of the country you're in. For sure. My dear Alabama, I mean, this is the weather that you live here for. Like, most of the year is incredibly humid, but September, October, November, that's when it's the good stuff. Well, people didn't come on this podcast to hear about the weather. They came to hear about head and shoulders. We always start with the weather. I know. It's like a podcast faux pas, but we do it anyway. It's the human experience. There's a head and shoulders on like every market on all timeframes. Like, you can't not see it. ETH, Bitcoin, S &P, Qs, any risk market, we'll put it like that, any risk market looks very, very toppy still to me. What are your thoughts on, you know, as we enter our 37th week as macro LARPing traders? Yeah, well, this continues to tell a story, right? Dollar legitimately been up only on a weekly basis for more than two months. Hold on, hold on. Jeff in the chat said. Jeff, were you listening for your show? We were just discussing the accelerated aging of Ryan in the show. I feel like I feel like the bear market is hitting me in every possible way right now. Sorry, continue. Yeah, I'm I'm going to be very gray and old and wrinkly if I make it through another cycle. Anyway, the Dixie is up. Yield. You know what I realized this week? Back to the Dixie for a sec. I realized that the Euro chart, Euro USD is basically the Bitcoin chart. So if you're rooting for Bitcoin, you're basically rooting for the Euro chart. I don't know how that's going to work out. It's not the team I want to be on right now. No, I agree. I don't know how that's going to work out for us because that Euro chart looks bad, quite awful. Yeah, that's bad. So I keep that in mind generally for people, you know, if you see some good news or positive news in Euro land, which I think is rare these days, it should generally signal wellness for Bitcoin. Yeah. Well, it's mostly that dollar strength. It's just not. Yeah, it's all it's all just the same thing. Right. Yeah, exactly. We titled the show Rate Pause because rate hikes were paused. So this is the first time in quite some time that we've gone into FOMC with no change. The result of that was you start to see the 30 year kind of catching up to the two year because they also said that they are planning on staying high for longer. So we're not going to do the thing where we just immediately start going into cuts. And so, yeah, it may not have the desired effect that people might expect by a rate pause. At this point, holding rates at this level is restrictive eventually, right? It gets more and more restrictive as the lower interest rate that like rolls into this new environment, you know? Right. But I think it's honestly, I agree with the Fed. I think keeping it here and doing a wait and see type attitude makes more sense than keep raising and then panic cutting when the time comes. I think you have a potential to break a little less in this regard. I think they should have paused a while back and should have started way before they did. But nevertheless, the idea of pausing but not committing to a cut, I think is reasonable. Well, the markets didn't get angry at pausing. The markets got angry because they hinted at two more hikes still. So if that actually happens, I don't think it will. Look, I'm a chaos agent. I say go all the way, right? Pedal to the metal, no half measures. If you want to kill the economy, go for it. So yeah, let's do two more. Let's do one in November, one in February, whatever. I don't know. I think the consensus, though, is that markets aren't going to last that long. Markets being the economy, I guess. But the economy just isn't going to last and hold up through that. So unemployment is going to tick up considerably. That's the expectation. You're not going to get your soft landing. And Paul basically said as much that that wasn't his base case during the meeting. So you got to keep that in mind when you're looking at risk markets like crypto and alts especially are just still obliterated and continue to look terrible. Two -year looks like it wants more. The three -month yields look like, all the yields look like they want more. Yeah, they're all acting like it. Especially if you take today out of the picture, which I'm not sure I'm going to read too much into what's happening on a Friday. Well, we had, so yesterday we had a negative 1 .6 % day on S &P. And there were already legacy analysts coming out saying, oh man, Paul's going to have to cut this year. It's been one day. You people are so soft, so pathetic. Pillsbury Doughboy over here asking for cuts after a down day. Give me a break. Just absurd. The chart on the S &P does look like it has room for more downside like that. Oh, for sure. Pretty clean breakdown, but it's not in panic mode. It's in the middle. It's in the chop zone. 4200 makes all the sense in the world based on some basic technical analysis. Look at the 200 -day moving average. All this is just meaner version. You have people panicking that the number is going down instead of up and they're pathetic. I mean, that's legacy for you. Even when you look at non -technical analysis, if we were in price discovery for the stock market right now, it would not make sense. It just does not make sense relative to the economy. But ledger, price is in the forward future. It doesn't look at what's happening now. We're not going to get a recession. We're going to get a huge GDP print, man. Forward future looks like we got another year or two of grinding. Like grinding economically, trying to figure out this balance of wage inflation, commodities inflation, cost of goods. There's a balance that has to exist there. Life is more expensive for people. Their homes are more expensive and their business loans are more expensive. are Their wages up, but they're not caught up to that. And so the economy needs to figure itself out. It needs to find its Zen zone. I agree. That could take time. But that's not the S &P. The S &P is eight companies who have billions of dollars, don't need to borrow, don't need debt at this interest level. But now the problem, I think Apple especially, I don't expect their new phone to sell gangbusters because the economy is... It's one of the easiest things to not upgrade. Right. Well, that as well. But USB -C, right? Welcome to the 21st century, everybody. So I'm expecting those numbers to be soft. The Nvidia story seems to be softening, even though it's hard to really know what's going on there. There's still lots of lots of demand for those checking news. Yeah. But I guess the point is, who cares about the rest of the S &P, the 493, right? It's all about the top seven right now. And if those are weak, which they are, just in the charts, the markets are going to turn lower because you're not getting any help from the other 493. All right. I want some of what Andre is drinking in the chat. I'm just going to plop this onto the show. Here we go, Andre. This is your moment. Fed waits another year to lower rates than the BTC happening. The presidential election and lower interest rates are all going to be happening at the same time as we go into the next bull run. Space exclamation point, which is another way of saying triple exclamation point. Where do you put that space in front? Andre, I'm with you. I hope you're right. I think people believe that if they cut, then that will be bullish, but they won't cut until things look terrible. So if they're cutting, then we have a different problem, right? We have a recession if they're cutting, right? It's over if they're cutting. We just have to dodge a recession. You just have to dodge a recession. Around halving, whatever. And then there's this other school of thought, which is kind of what Andre is hinting at. Maybe the halving doesn't matter. Maybe it's just a coincidence that we've been in these four -year business cycles, and it's just lined up perfectly. I've seen that narrative growing recently, which is surprising to me, but it makes sense. Look, if you look at the data and you just don't pay attention to halving, I agree. But I think the halving brings eyeballs. It brings people understanding the asset a little differently because they're like, oh, wait, what do you mean? The supply is going to be cut in half or whatever, the daily emissions. Anyway. And meanwhile, Bitcoin and ETH both basically at their 200 -week moving average. This was okay. So that's the tweet you have up. This was my engagement bait last night. This is if anybody was paying attention. It's comparing the 200 -week and the 200 -day moving averages on Bitcoin. The last time... They're converging. Yeah. So they're converging. And the last time it looked like this was 2015 for a bull cross. It technically didn't cross bearish in 2015. I just want to highlight, though, Josh. We are both getting rejected by that right now, if you look at this weekly. Yeah, but that's okay. It's September. It's key three. I don't care. But yes. They're just winding around in there. They're meandering. It's not good. Also, one other comment. Yeah. Gotta work on this hashtag. 250k or bust. Gotta work on that. Well, that's the target. We need some ideas. That's the 8000 % target from here is 250k. That's where that came from. Yeah, we gotta do better. 250 by 25 is too much of a mouthful. I feel like the phrase millie needs to be in there. Millie? Quarter millie? Quarter millie. Maybe just full millie. Look, I've been on the record. 250k is the target for the next run. Okay. Even before this tweet, the stars are aligning. Yeah. People are saying what's happened to me. I'm using a different camera. I'm in a different place. And I got a haircut today. And everyone says you look old. I look weird and old. I am old. Here, I was I was puffing you up early. You're telling me I look good. And I was telling you how old I felt. And now the whole chat's like, hey, you look old. You look terrible. I think you look fine. But you know, maybe it's the rates, you know, the rates are just killing everybody. It is the rates. I'm gonna go ahead and go out on a limb and say that I'm affected by that. Sure. So yeah, if we look at if we look at Bitcoin, also, We've also got if you don't like the head and shoulders, at the very least, you have to admit there's some sort of double top there. Yeah, double top, lower, lower low by a smidge. Rejected by the fast and long moving averages potentially. There's a there's reason to be concerned here. If we're above 28, at any point Q4, I think we're good for move higher, which doesn't like logically make sense based on what's going on in the world with rates and everything. So if this then that if we get above 28, we're good. Until then, I expect lower lows, ETH especially. What's going on with ETH, man? You're the ETH fanboy, the ETH cheerleader. What's happening? It's even better than BTC in terms of rejection off the 200. That's clean. It's nice and clean. That's a dump it. Let me translate that for everybody. That means it's even more bearish. I think this tells some of the story like there's not many people in the ecosystem that don't consider pair trades, you know, like opportunity cost or a risk profile of being in one thing versus the other. And a lot of people are dancing on like long tail of altcoins. Like they'll play on those playgrounds. But the people that are in big assets are looking at this where ETH BTC is breaking down further. It looks like it might be escalating. It looks like it might be going from breakdown to a steady progression to the downside. And I don't know, maybe that also looks double toppy to me. Yeah, but maybe another 10 -15 % on ETH is on that relative to BTC and people just don't see the upside as worthwhile. I get it. I understand. I like 05. And if 05 doesn't survive around the ETF stuff, assuming the ETF stuff is going to be bullish, I like 03. I think a 200 week tap at a minimum would make sense. So, you know, you're looking at another 10 % relative in that scenario. And that would probably be a bullish bottom. Bullish, she says. A bullish bottom if it maintains that. I'm sure, I don't know harmonics well enough to just like eyeball it, but I'm sure there's some sort of harmonic. Batwing harmonic, yeah. Yeah, there's something there where you could draw like a crab or something. If this one's a 0 .03, that would be concerning. Well, what's the breakout level of the head and shoulders? Like 0 .035, 0 .036? Yeah, I think that's reasonable. I think that would put ETH people, myself included, just in Jordan tier mode. Look, if ETH doesn't get an ETF and Bitcoin does and it actually sees flows. It could happen. It could happen. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. Hit your targets, Josh. 0 .053 before 0 .035. That's true. I mean, we need to spot ETF first, which... That's just math, just so you know. And dyslexia. It's just kind of interesting that it has not made a higher high since going proof of stake. Kind of weird, right? The Real Dangles asks, can we do a mini series on learning macro fundamentals? I've only ever looked at crypto, so half of what you guys talk about is foreign to me. No, but there's some people that you can learn from. One of the best, in my opinion, and I was... Jeebus was giving me crap about this, but Ray Dalio is, I think, the greatest macro mind that actually takes their information and then shares it. Big Debt Crises is a book. It's a study of cycles, basically. It's a study of deflationary, inflationary cycles, and they're very good. I would read that. That's a great start. Like, that'll be good. That could teach you more than I ever could. There's many, many other things, in addition to what he talked about, that go into what he talks about. But at the end of the day, it's all about cycles. And that's a terrific book. I would listen to a bunch of podcasts on macro stuff. Blockworks does a billion of them. Yeah, but don't worry. If you listen to those, you'll end up a bear. So you gotta know that going in so that you don't end up a bear. I don't care if you're bullish or bearish, but being able to form your own opinion, that's the end goal. But people that do nothing but talk macro are all bears. They're all dirty bears, Josh. I agree with you. They're doomer macro people. But just knowing the language and knowing what people are looking at definitely helps you understand what the hell is going on. If you listen to them, just know that you need to protect your beautiful, bullish beauty. Don't take their advice, air quotes here. Don't take their advice. Your beautiful, bullish innocence needs to be protected when you listen to the doomer bears. You'll learn all about the SPR and why it's the end of the world. What is it about macro that makes people perma bears? I don't know. I think all this cyclical stuff, the raining down of potential for bad makes you think it's imminent. Yeah, they're very pro -commodity, pro -being anti -market. That's their whole personality and identity. Now I'm thinking of Sven specifically, for those of you who know who that is. But the macro people will be wrong for years and years and years. And then we'll finally get a down move. And they'll be like, yes, I told you so. Now I've lost all my money and the market 10xed at that time. But I told you so. We would get a correction. But I like that about them. The macro people also generally don't like Bitcoin. Some of them do, certainly. But most of them don't. So that tells me we still got time. It's still early. There are very few Lynn Alden's of the world where I simultaneously massively respect their macro analysis. And they don't discount crypto. She does discount everything but Bitcoin. But I'll forgive her for that. Because she's already really good at two things. That most people can't combine their goodness of that. Yeah, she's great. That's another easy listen as far as trying to pick up. She just wrote a book about money, too. I'm sure it's got some good macro stuff in there. There you go. So we'll stop that. Rate's up. Murray, I don't know what we're saying is like Michael Murray. But if he's a doomer bear, then yes. Yeah, this is a doomer bear that he was right at the right time on the right cycle as the media fell in love with such characters. So that carries a lot of weight. Like he can now be wrong for the rest of his life, but he was still right in 2008. But I respect people that have these opinions. I just think it's a lot easier to make money if you're a bull over the long period of time. I agree. Tripsy says he thinks the TA makes a better bear case than macro. I agree. I pay attention to the macro because it's kind of interesting. And having the ability to discuss it is powerful. But if all I do is pay attention to the TA, then I'd be fine. If you see the macro and you make this great bear case and then you see the chart and the chart looks like it wants to explode to the upside, don't make the trade. Not financial advice, but don't sell everything in that scenario. I wouldn't. But if the chart looks like doo -doo and the macro looks like doo -doo, then maybe it's just doo -doo. Well, knowing yields and rates helps you understand the DeFi angle a little bit. Knowing risk premium helps you understand like if I'm not getting paid an insane amount in DeFi right now, it's just not worth participating. You know? Yeah. Assuming a risk -free rate in U .S. government bonds, treasuries, whatever, you're not getting paid that differential in DeFi. Typically, you are seeking yield growth balance, right? There's some combination or you're looking for either or, but there's a balance of yield and growth. If your available yield today is high, so let's say you can earn 5 % in a money market or something like that, then two years ago, you could only earn 1%. Then your need for growth is even higher to make up for your annualized compounding year -on -year returns because when you're seeking growth, you're compounding that growth to make up for the lack of yield. So when the yield is higher, you need even more growth so people get less interested in the growth because the growth needs to be so severe to replace easy yield that's available today. So that's why risk assets that focus on growth look less attractive when yield is high. That's a general concept that can be useful. I always like to think about the extremes. So they used to say, Tina, there is nothing else when you're talking about allocating capital. So if there was no yield before, you get all this crazy VC shit and altcoins and NFTs. Because it's growth at all costs. Because that's it. That's the whole game, right? Now that there's a balance, it'd be much harder to create something like FTX in this environment where you can get a yield, you know? Yeah, there is demand for return on those dollars that's not just growth, that's not just bring it back to me more valuable. Did you hear that NFT story? The NFTs are 95 % worthless thing? Yeah. Yeah, there's some really good replies from NFT people that I thought were worthy. I've retweeted one of them. I don't remember who it was. I think it was the punk person that works, that does the streams all the time. Pink haired punk. You know, most of them always have been worthless is what they mentioned. And I think that they're doing a classic throw the baby out with the bathwater thing. Like the speculation on JPEGs was always going to pop. The underlying technology does have inherent value, it's just who's going to win from that. Like, will all the current market participants, collections, companies, whatever, will they all go away and then somebody will rise from the ashes and win the technology emergence where game the underlying technology can be taken advantage of to create real business value? I think that's what will happen, but which of us will be there to survive it? And then some stuff will get Lindy effects of art, digital art. There was product market fit, there is product market fit for that. But like, you can't just mint 10 ,000 pineapples and expect to make millions of dollars now when there's nothing else. If your denominator is infinity, then yeah, 95 % are useless.

"When you've been on Earth as long as I have, you often wonder when something changed because you remember growing up it wasn't that way and now it is. For example, weather delays in football. Growing up, they played in all sorts of weather. Football weather was always cold and nasty and there'd be snow, there'd be rain. But in the last few weeks, we had a weather delay for lightning when Vanderbilt was playing Hawaii. I know Notre Dame had one last weekend of the University of Alabama. The University of Tennessee had them as well. They're all weather delays for lightning. Now, it hasn't always been that way, but I wonder is it getting more prevalent because of climate change, because we're getting more lightning storms, or is it something that's been around I just didn't notice back in the day? I truly don't know the answer. I've spent hours looking on the internet to find out when we came up with this half -hour delay for a lightning strike. They do it with concerts too here and we have it all the time here in Nashville. We have very volatile weather. We get a lot of lightning storms. I don't remember as a kid. Did we have that much lightning? I know it's things I think about late at night. Weather delays. They're getting more frequent. Or is it just me?

"alabama" Discussed on Live From Studio 6B

"All right, live from Studio 6B on a Friday night. Slick Rick is with me in the house for a Friday night reel, America's Voice. It's gonna be a busy night. We are expecting President Donald Trump at the Alabama GOP Summer Dinner in just a little bit. Slick Rick, how are you? Doing good, Big D. Getting ready. Getting ready. Friday night, fired up. That's exactly right. The President will be speaking and I've taken I took a look at some of the advanced copy of his speech and because you know the thing I think the President has to think about going forward and I don't know what you think about this Slick Rick is to be able to find that balance in all of these all of these stops he's going to do. To find that balance of being able to talk about the future of the country delivering the for the future what he wants to do and his plan and still looking back on what he did as President but not spend all of these speeches just relitigating 2020 and overly spending time on of course he has to address it the attacks on him of course. But to find that balance will be what I'll be keeping my eyes out tonight for to see that balance of does he still pitch the future and what he wants to do talk about what he did and then find the time to litigate all of this nonsense that's going on with him. Big D I believe he will. I you know hey nothing's past President Trump he can get everything done Big D but quite frankly I do this is all part of the plan they want to knock him off course and you know him he's as focused as you can be I think I'm curious to see too but I think he shows that balance he gives us what's going on now and you know the phony indictments and all this baloney and then he's going to get into what he's going to do for the country I think he'll do it.

"alabama" Discussed on The Paul Finebaum Show

"Josh, you're there. Papa is up next. Hi, Paul. Good afternoon. A wonderful interview you had with our man yesterday. He must be a real fine gentleman. Your you asking me to answer you under oath or just among Friends. Well, I'll just among France. He's a great person. Good. I'm distressed. And real story about the problem that happened over at the university. You know, I don't pull for him, but I've got a lot of friends that do and. We've been there before and I feel for him. I hope it works out for the best of the university and for the best of athletics than to ask these people. Well, thank you very much. I appreciate that. Lee is up next in Ohio, Lee, good afternoon. Hi, Paul, on the second leaf from Ohio in the last ten minutes. Man, I thought I thought it was Groundhog Day. Well, your show is finally made the big time. But Paula, I just wanted to make a point about betting that I want to make sure everybody else understands to affect betting a coach does not have to throw a game and deliberately lose it. All he has to do to affect the way bets are made is tell someone this guy is not going to be here this week. He's coming home. This guy is not going to be here this week. He's got a great problem. He can't pitch. He's on a pitch count. Outfield, he's got a sore foot, no one knows it. That's all they really have to do to change the way betting goes. So I think that we're jumping to conclusions about fixed games when it really might be as just a lot of insight information, which is bad enough as it is. I want to make sure everybody else, I would agree. I would think that the damage here, if I'm just. Hypothesizing, would be something that happened before the game, not during the game. Oh, absolutely. I absolutely think you're correct. That's why I want people to understand it's probably some better found out or he has a secret way of finding out. He knows he knows a coach. You know, somebody in their organization, our best pitchers on a pitch count or our best outfielders really feeling badly because his girlfriend's ill or something like that. That's all you really have to tell a better and that will change betting suddenly and they'll wait until just before the game to put their bets in. Yeah, and nowadays with cameras everywhere it may not be as difficult to come up with something like that is we think it is. Well, I think you're right. The whole situation is sad for me. I'm an Alabama fan. I'm also a college baseball fan. Heck, I'm a Paul fine bomb fan. So I think the whole thing is sad. I think we're going to find out later that it's whatever it is, it's an ugly look for sports, but I really caution against thinking, well, this game was fixed or that game was fixed. All it takes is a little insight information to change way bets are made. Well said, thank you very, very much. Matt is in Kentucky Matt. You're on the air. Hey, mister time bomb. We've had our share of scandals up here in Kentucky for 75 years. So I don't want anybody from Alabama to think I'm sitting in judgment. The commentator I heard late last night on another radio station remarked that Alabama was allowed to score two runs that closed the gap 8 to 6 and the spread was two and a half. Did I misunderstand him that they scored two reds late in the innings to bring the score closer? By the way, I will be corrected almost immediately, but I don't think you bet baseball by runs. Do you know what you just bet on odds? Well, this guy, this guy, this commentator, it was out of a lot picking up out of the Louisville radio station, but it's part of a national regional link, this I mean, I hear what you say, you're right, but this is I'm trying to quote this guy's accurately as I can possibly do so. Well then that's what. That doesn't make sense though. And it's way out of my expertise, which most things are, but I don't think if you fire the Alabama baseball coach, you have to do deductive logic and think, what are the tributaries from his from him to any other entity that could have created this scandal? And he right now is the only person connected to it. Right now. Okay, okay. Well, I'll tell you what. I'll try to listen again to that sports show in the united kitchen guys name. Well, we have a few more to call. I don't think, hey, thanks for the call. Appreciate it. AC is up next. Hey, good afternoon, mister fine bob, thank you so much for taking my call. Thank you. Absolutely. I did call up doctor rich Wednesday. And I recall them up today. They did not take my call because they got scared. Oh, man, everybody lost the skirt. And they should be lifted into your station. I feel like every single city moving to your station, you do a fantastic job, mister fine bob. The love season.

"I'm melissa harris perry and this is the takeaway more than one thousand union. Mine workers from the warrior met coal mine in tuscaloosa county. Alabama are entering the fifth month of a labor strike. The myers are members of the united mine workers of america union which has a deep history alabama and in those very same minds dating all the way back to eighteen. Ninety on wednesday mindworkers held a large rally in brookwood alabama thousands of you. Mwa allies came in from illinois indiana pennsylvania ohio kentucky and west virginia to show solidarity with the alabama minors what we lost five years ago. Gleaning from the company vacation. Tom by our health concerns and just some of the money that we lost. Also we're not we're we're we're fed up with all the scare tactics all this other doing. We're fighting for all workers across america. Not just for us here. At the marlins journalists. Kim kelly spoke to those folks and brookwood alabama and she joins me now. Welcome kim hey thank you so much for having me so talked me. Was the sentiment among the miners and family members at the rally today. There's a lot of good energy When the women. I spoke to share. She's part of the women's auxiliary. She was saying that you know. We have to kind of see the the community community support firsthand because we handle donations. We handle rosaries but a lot of folks on the picket lines. They're just out there. Twenty four seven kind of fighting the fight. They don't get to see the the nice part this solidarity part so that was really a big deal for them to see all these folks from across the country. Coming out to support lots of media. There are lots of union leaders. Were there in just a really beautiful that honestly so talk to me about the working conditions at the warrior met coal mine and we heard a little bit from some of the strikers there but what is it they're asking for so the conditions there. It's i mean you're never gonna find a great conditions were gonna call minus is very dirty difficult job but where you're mad. This is one of the deepest mines in north america. It's filled with methane gas which has caused explosions caused health issues for folks. The workers there. They're underground twelve hours a day six days a week sometimes seven in the contract which was implemented five years ago. When maury matt came into the minds they lost six dollars an hour off their pay lost vacation days. They lost over pause potty. Go back for a second room. They lost six dollars an hour off their pay. How did that happen. Well when we're matt came in. It was off the back of the bankruptcy from the former owners. And so there's a massive layoffs and when we're met commander like okay we'll hire you guys back but this is what we're going to offer you. You gotta help us get on our feet and then five years down. The line will wearing a better financial position. Though that will trickle down to you and of course it hasn't and now the average wage there's about twenty two dollars an hour to work in a coal mine twelve hours a day six days a week and and i'm sorry i had to you. What else did they lose that Fire get hired back. Sure the biggest thing. As braxton mentioned the quote you played earlier is the healthcare costs their healthcare costs skyrocketed and as realized you know coal miners. There's a lot of health conditions and medical issues and risks that those workers undertake so their healthcare is a big deal and now they're paying thousand four months they used to so. That's impacting the workers. As well as their families. The children's retirees. That's a huge deal. Okay are they being allowed to. I mean they've been on strike for a really long time at this point first of all are they getting paid six dollars an hour less wage during their strike. Oh no no no. The company isn't giving them anything but had there's a strike sign that the W has set up and so as long as a worker completes their picket line duty which is about think. Sixteen hours a week. They get at a check for seven hundred dollars every two weeks and that adds that's about fourteen hundred bucks a month which is very helpful but that is certainly not enough especially because the majority of these workers are parents in supporting family members as well. When i heard you say they. The company hasn't given them anything but a headache. Are they allowing them. At least in the context of the strike to to sort of strike in. Peace no ma'am. They have been terrible. Honestly i've been shocked. I've been covering this story for. Since very beginning and the facility in aggression of the company's displayed truly shocking. I know of at least five documented instances of comfy employees with their bosses or scabs contract contractors brought in of running their cars. Netflix trucks into people on the picket line. Multiple straggler had been sent to the hospital. What one of one of the strikers wise amy she was hit and she's still feeling it. you know. This people are being hurt and buckle. Police aren't doing anything and the union is fighting to get anyone to pay attention to help them like this. Is it's really scary. It's we're really looking at another harlan county down there. Okay when you say first of all. There are people striking peacefully in line getting hit by cars that you've been covering this now for months that i have to say i'm a little surprised that it certainly covered some but why hasn't it been covered much more widely in the news. Is this just about being pushed out by the headlines of covert and other things like that. I'm sure that's a factor. I have a mult- multiple theories about this. It's kind of been driving me nuts. Because i have been covering and i'm so invested in the story. I think perhaps the fact that the industry they work in cold fossil fuels general. It's a little harder to tell a nuance story there to drum up sympathy because it is such a complicated issue right and also you know. It's a rural area in alabama but live assumptions that are made about folks in those areas. There are a lot of folks who are more conservative Who were involved in this group. And i think most labor stores is kind of an implied Underline of progressivism right. And that's not necessarily the case here. Of course the miners aren't a monolith like everyone has a very diverse group. But i think it's been a little tougher to get sympathy for a bunch of striking coal miners in trump country. Then maybe it would be for another strike somewhere else. Different kind of people you know. It's an interesting point when you when you call it trump country i mean obviously alabama predates former president trump as doesn't fact union activity in alabama. A i think some people might even be surprised to discover that there is this kind of a strong union.

I'm looking michigan number eight. Where did ohio state finish. They've finished fourteen. That must have had a small class icy ohio state. Ninety one eighty seven ninety one point. Eight seven was their average recruit. Michigan's was ninety point. Seven so michigan just had a bigger class and also a really good class so i guess how states guys had the higher average okay.

"Any other points. You'd like to for me to address. Georgia ranks about one hundred spots better than alabama according to those college ranking capital. One bowl weekly. That was good. That's fine thank you antonio no. Us news and world reports. Okay academics at one hundred spots better. Okay athens has been voted time and again one of the best college towns in america the meeting ages are wanting twenty eight which is about two years younger and tuscaloosa. So it's very much college. Town recruiting poet laureates air. Tie curbing signal callers. You know that. I've got a bit of a bit of history of state college. Pennsylvania athens is about as close to state colleges. Whatever found. it's a town. That very much feels run by the student body. True college town comedy. Part of a new tradition. That kirby smart is trying to build his building it very much in the image of nick sabin but he's doing so in a younger in a more modern way he's doing it on the other side of the same conference and if you gunnar simpson step foot on this campus you will still get hopefully your crack at alabama at least once a year in the sec title game and maybe more you'll still get your chance to beat the best to help define a new legacy a new chapter a new era of georgia bulldogs football and be the face of this program and go onto spire great things at the next level. That is my pitch. Who had who had the best game for georgia in the sec. Championship game this year. Who was it that you would point to like. You could be this type of player in the sec. Championship game from twenty twenty cal. Trask could area's tony. Who are we talking about here. I told you my pitch over done is say okay. I'm going on a high note i'm out. I thought you did a great job. Thank you. I mean you had the more difficult position you chose it. You chose to represent george. I gave you the choice. You georgia. I thought you did a very good job. I probably would have sold athens. More athens is a fantastic place. See here's here's my here's my issue now you can eat well. You can do all sorts of outdoor stuff. Here's my issue. You have people from high school that you know you immediately have a bunch of friends because you're from georgia. Obviously there's there's some element to this. He does governor simpson being from the atlanta. Burbs need someone to sell him on athens. I feel like for him. Athens sort of sells itself because clearly familiar with it. I'm guessing not as familiar with is the inner workings and the machinations of the football program. Because anybody can go to. Athens go to a game and walk around campus and experience. The dog walk in those sorts of things but right. Let's take him inside the spaceship as they've called it that landed and is now the indoor practice facility. Let's take them inside the facilities to see what it's actually liked. Be part of part of the football team. So i didn't sell it. I'm also frankly just not as strong on that topic as as you might be so i can sell the football. I can look into it. And i could see where things trending in that in that world but i was trying to play to my strengths. Here's a recruiter. no i get you know. i just think athens's fantastic and the campus is beautiful. There is i think a poultry sciences building on the university of into that both campuses have chick fillets i think. Georgia's alabama's but georgia's has chick chick-fil-a express. I don't know what that means. It looks like a standard chick-fil-a in the union. I mean let's go onto to everything. Everyone's got one flames all over the place now but it's important. It absolutely is important union. Great food in athens. You can have a great life in athens and look if you want to go home to laundry. You're you're right. you did. Hit the the distancing about an hour fifteen away from metro atlanta depending traffic can be quite terrible in atlanta. Though you never know but alabama's not you know it's not across the country. It's three hours. So it's it's a good selling point. It's not the best selling point. And i think you can add that. You know brock vanda. Griff georgia has recruited quarterback very well. So it's not like you need to step in right away. You'd be behind brock behind behind whoever so georgia has their own thing yet. Well look to. I'm trying to think. How else would i have sold georgia to great schools anyway. You shake great. Sec schools have we given any thought to what our next batch might be. They we got to the big ten. Do wanna do you wanna do is to obvious now. It's not that's not bad. I mean i. My assumption is michigan has recruited the last few years have their who to better than penn state. Along with penn state. I mean. I feel like more. They're both difficult. In terms of the position we choose. I think we should go defense on the next episode. I think it needs to if we're staying in the spirit of true recruiting rivalries within conference right the biggest rivalry in college football ohio state michigan. We'd be remiss if i did not pick. That one is is michigan. Ohio state's biggest. They're not probably not ohio. State's biggest national rival in terms of recruiting only right l. house as big as national rival is probably clemson. Joy obama clams. Yeah somewhere in there. They're competing for the top top top of the class. But if we in the big ten we keep it within the big ten Penn state has honestly been a little stronger in terms of recruiting. I think in recent years right so if we wanna do ohio state and we should and we wanna keep an conference and we should. It's either michigan penn state. I'll let you pick your.

Is we have a new set of coordinators every frigging year. That doesn't give me the warm fuzzies. Let's talk a little bit about todd. Mahnken let's talk about todd akin. Did you go back and check. The p plus from twenty twenty to see what georgia's offense looked like relative to alabama's i know alabama's was rife with firepower. No question about that. Doric. -ly officiant historically efficient gunners simpson. His name is gonna for a reason. Dan kid likes to throw the ball. We set it at the top. Five star tunnel arm talent. Not a dual threat. Guy can move right. He moves around in the pocket. Char a kid like governor wants to air the ball out you know where alabama under mack jones ranked relative to georgia in terms of air yards per pass. The style of play have ads in georgia. Was georgia was tent. So when todd monkey came over by the way he came from the nfl part of what he was trying to do was build more of a vertically oriented passing game. This is on the heels of the jake frahm era where it was a lot of digging dunk stuff in georgia. Fans got fed up at that monkey came in the intention was to try and stretch the field vertically now. He did not have the ability to do that as much with a guy. Like a stetson bennett. It didn't work out. They have the the issue with. Jt daniels ne- not being clear until late in the season but once he was cleared things started to happen in a really positive way. We started to see more of that explosive offense that is what he is selling. That is what he is. Trying to build. Alabama did a lotta dink and dunk stuffed in a lot of think. Dunk stuff mack. Jones was very effective when he did throw down the field. No doubt but the air yards stat proves it out to me. Alabama as the ninetieth ranked team in fbs. This is not a team that stretched the field through the air. At least air yards as much as you would expect the a great receivers who ran after the catch for sure. But if you wanna come to a school young gunner that likes to air it out and give you the ability to throw the deep ball. Let's go todd malkin. Let's talk todd machen. You know how. Todd martin right now is out. There recruiting talent dan. While how's that other schools are talking about plans in team gear. I got this from an article by the way. I didn't have any knowledge.

I am shot out of a cannon. I took a shower for the first time in three days excited for this concept excited to welcome back video into the fold for however long. Because you're a handsome guy on my better days. I approach handsome. I think i'm told so. I'm excited to do this episode. Think we're gonna we're gonna throw some some haymakers. I i hope so i'm excited thrown some haymakers throwing some screwball. Some off speed stuff. Try to each other off balance. I can't see you wear wearing my standard fare gray shirt but i've got a red georgia hat on right now. Oh look at you. i can't see you. We're recording this two cards. I am not wearing a hat. I'm wearing my glasses. I have sort of a navy shirt with ping pong paddles. I guess you did beat me at ping pong. So i don't know i'm wearing my defeat because i'm that confident. I have a red georgia hat on which we will get to momentarily but before we do. Hello welcome don't forget to follow the sellable across all social media channels. We are of course on twitter and facebook. And we've been trying to do more instagram. But we need people to follow us dan. They got us foul if they want to get the content. They got a follow us. So it's solvable on instagram. We have not branched out into other social platforms at least not as of yet which brings me to our next topic of interest. We are looking for a social media intern. Yes we absolutely are somebody with that sort of expertise and i end sensibility. Submissions at solvable. Dot com submissions at several dot com. We've had some folks writing already. We are looking to add. Another member to our team could help social media looking for folks who have helped do this for other websites for other businesses for other entities. Send us an email and we'll fill you in on how you might be able to help the team. So solvable dot com. Can't wait to see where roles in do now dan. What is the concept for this here. Show that we've we've tossed around a number of names like recruiting wars. Or what was it. College pick something which college pitch so. This is an exercise. We're going to do for. I think we're into a few of these and we're going to start in the sec whereby wherein unh select a school and we were in charge of pitching said school if we were the head coach or the director of recruiting. Something like that. If we're craft to pitch to a top flight recruit and we're going to be specific on this episode about which position we will each episode. How would we craft that pitch. And so today. We're doing alabama who i'm representing and you're representing georgia to schools. Who have put together. Absolute monster classes these past few years. You're talking about a lot of instances one a one b nationally that georgia has put together a recruiting behemoth and of course alabama continues to do so and i in order to determine a winner. I i don't think it wouldn't be fair for either one of us to do so. I just think anybody listening should weigh in on who does a better and more thorough and more convincing job pitching rather than where you know in this case. A five star quarterback should go right so it's not a matter of like you should definitely go to georgia because of this reason that we didn't mention or something like that or just your own opinion. It's who does a better job behind the mic. Today you or me. Convincing the universe that they attend their represented skunk so let. Let's let me pause positive we can go negative. You can think about your time playing the nc double a video game dynasty series and all those things but Yeah it's just determining who if we were to sell alabama and georgia if we were to sell oklahoma state. Tcu oregon whatever. How would we do so okay. So does this what is the forget. Let's let's establish the rules of engagement. Here sharp does this work. Like a debate or one of us goes i. Are we interjecting. How how are we going to do this. I think each of us should have a chance to make a case without being interrupted. And then whether or not we stay positive ever go negative negative meaning obviously denigrating the other school putting down the other school. And why a five star quarterback shouldn't go to that school. I think the floor should be each of ours alone at the top and then we should be allowed to sort of cross examine. I suppose some of the points that we make and then just go back and forth from their fair new should be yelling at each other and talking over each other unless it serves a purpose. Which probably doesn't. But i think we should each have the floor in order like okay. Here's why it actually make sense to go to georgia. If you're a five star quarterback from metro atlanta or here's by necessarily acting as official agents of the university. We're acting as most third party. Recruiter has yeah yeah. We don't have an affiliation to either georgia or alabama beyond. We've been to. You've been to georgia. I've been to both and we find both places to be alluring. i drove through tuscaloosa alabama. jama's the one time. I was in tuscaloosa. So i consider myself a local. Obviously i would just say at the top here kind of in the spirit of competition because in the heat of battle. We don't know where this is going to go. I would ask that. No one hold against me. Anything i say against the great state of alabama nor anything you say against the great state of georgia and none of none of what we are saying is necessarily how we feel personally or professionally. Just how we would pitch if we were them if we were them. So if you're an alabama fan anti says something that rankles you that sticks in your craw don't that tie things that necessarily he might he might but this is how he's positioning georgia to a recruit method acting as what we're doing method acting and you know what at certain points. We could ask each other way to actually believe that. Do you actually like we. Can we can do that. We can break character. We can break the fourth wall. That's all what is what is our recruits name today. What is his deal. Who who are we trying to bring to either alabama or georgia right. So we're going to keep this current so we're going to say this is a class of twenty twenty two even though. This is sort of after the cuban domino's have largely fallen in the class of twenty twenty two because we want to keep current as for coaches on staff right now. Recent results in recent situations incurred situation. So we're going to go with the name gunnar simpson which is a combination of both governor. Stockton a blue chip quarterback who committed to georgia anti-simpson a blue chip quarterback who committed to alabama. So bring those two guys together. I think thai simpson's from tennessee. Somewhere and gunnar stockton is northeast georgia. Not in the greater atlanta area. Okay governor classic southern name gunners simpson is going to be our recruit. What do we know about him. Governor simpson has a big arm. I would almost say a so. A combo of justin fields trevor lawrence. Everything you out of a quarterback physically mentally arm strength leadership like if you were to craft a modern quarterback from the south you are basically combining those two guys right so it's every school is knocking on his door. He's getting a one hundred fifty letters. A day sent to his home and a terrific athlete. Not necessarily high end speed not necessarily a pure dual threat but he can move and he is being compared to the best prospect since andrew luck because a box. You need to be checked. You're a top flight quarterback that could be a fantasy thing by the way best. I prospect since andrew luck okay correct yeah gunnar simpson five star great thrower. He can move not dual threat not speed but he can booth correct. Yeah you can move. I'd say six three and a half two. Oh five okay. That's good size. Good size you also have the sound. I don't know where this fits.
