"Oh all the fearmongering. That's going on if they don't increased the debt ceiling which begs the question. Then why do you even have a ceiling to begin with if you're going to just break on through that debt ceiling as they have done eighty times in the past but oh if they don't increase the debt ceiling because of their spendy ways. Oh we're going to default on our loans and an economic recession will ravage the country. We all know that's not going to happen either. But meanwhile if there were to be shut down again at twelve one a. m. eastern friday. How would it affect you. Well some of us would feel the impacts in one way or another but the good news is a several key programs would continue to operate chief among them for you. Social security recipients yes says security benefits would continue to go out in the event of a government shutdown. That's because social security medicare and medicaid are among the mandatory spending items that aren't subject to annual appropriations from congress. Now while so security checks that again this is worst case scenario while those checks would continue to be sent out. Some related services could be impacted in the event of a partial government shutdown for example benefit verification the issuance of new social security cards would stop and when it comes to social security checks. The bigger looming threat is the previously mentioned debt. Limit treasury secretary. Janet yellen suggested last week in a wall street journal op-ed that nearly fifty million seniors could stop receiving social security checks for a time if congress fails to raise or suspend the debt ceiling. Oh and she warned that if the debt limit isn't raised by october eighteenth the full faith and credit of the united states would be impaired and our country would likely face a financial crisis and economic recession.

"View bipartisanship which got very clear from secretary gone across. The station is important on this red line for him to his half. Be a bowl or the new you know. I love red lines I don't love them. Line out here to set new lines. Red lines lines in the sand. I but i do think it's important context for everybody to understand as you will know that. Eighty times says congress Raise the debt limit and even if you looked to comments In recent days by senator mcconnell if you look to just two years ago he argued that the fee that feeling vote to raise the debt limit would be a disaster unquote. Put our full faith and credit at risk. We agree with that And now he's against a vote. So i think when we're looking at politics here. We know where the politics is coming from. But our argument is that this is about. This is not a political issue. Shouldn't be a partisan issue it hasn't been throughout history You may have all seen that secretary. Yelling had a call with With senator mcconnell Not a political call. of course. she's not political. she's an economist to really convey. What the enormous danger of default would be. So that's the argument. We're making yes. I knew you all have good questions about the vehicle and move forward all good questions. We're working with congress on but our view is. This should be bipartisan. As it has been in the past. Wow like the treasury secretary. The secretary of the fucking treasury is calling the senate minority leader like bitch. I the the that is so pathetic. He doesn't even give a fuck mitch. Mcconnell about being called a hypocrite. He's super comfortable in that space on brand for him doesn't care he doesn't even have he doesn't have a god complex. He's got a machiavelli complex. He gets off on manipulating controlling. Congress through any means necessary including and especially lying. Every single word used to describe. Nikola machiavelli can be used to describe mitch. Mcconnell subtle sinister underhanded controlling devious cunning lying nefarious shaded. Yes he is a giant piece of shit who is holding the economy hostage. The last time this happened on this level was twenty eleven that time it was republicans in congress doing it to obama to prevent obamacare and the economy absolutely tanked. It's nothing less than a certainty that this will happen again. And this time it will be a hundred times worse. Republicans know that and they are betting that democrats won't have the balls to take the economy. Democrats are letting it ride. And betting that america will no it's the republicans to blame and also that republicans won't let their high dollar corporate donor suffer in the stock market. At the end of the day rich republicans would rather let the government go broke then their own businesses and its corporate money that runs mitch. Mcconnell and the forty five other docking counts. That signed that stupid fucking letter. Well we have no real information on this mysterious debt ceiling vote will come up because no one is certain of the exact timing of it. All so janet yellen treasury secretary and private market analysts have estimated that the government will run out of maneuvers to juggle the books by late october. So we know no matter what has to happen by late october. That said supposedly the democrats are considering attaching the debt limit increase to the back of the legislation that keeps the government funded which comes with the deadline of september thirtieth so republicans. Try and get cocky and blocked that legislation over the debt issue. The government would shut down the next day. I who well i guess. We'll find out this week with the democrats are going to do we of course want them to strap it on. And but fuck these cock blocking assholes but the democrats in congress have blatantly admitted that they have no real fallback plan if mitch mitch hypocrite and senate republicans cock block the debt ceiling and drive the government into a shutdown and the nation into a debt crisis other than trying to shame mcconnell into upholding his previous positions while we have to do is look at the supreme court and the filibuster to know that shaming mitch. Mcconnell block never works. no because you can't shave someone who has no shame. My mom has been loving her acording. Tv are have you been watching hours. I've been loving it. i have. Yes i recently watched a wonderful documentary called edward and mary two part series about the edwards mary. Now so you're going with the documentary. 'cause i know you watch the one about all the queen's yes the she wolves but my mom is going for a more. She's liking a mystery. She says she's watching. Something called mystery road. Oh then she's watching. Something called restless and she put in parentheses kind of a woman spy thing. But it's good and it's just too episode like oh well don't mind if you do with your woman spy thing and then something else called the summer. All murderers well. I like everything she's saying there. Is it all like agatha agatha christie. You know angela lansbury type shit. She's watching a lot of. There's a lot of that. There's a lot of mystery mystery road. The life is murder. But i'm looking at their all british or hey trillion. Hey guys hey guys. The volumes are australian or new zealand. They do a lot of canadian. I just think if i have to suffer through a cornpone mystery. I better hear an accent and now i'm there agreed and i have always felt that anything that has anything to do with murder mystery The past definitely the fantasy. The past is strictly for people with accent is and like if somebody's in victorian era they better. They better have an accent. I tried one called dead. Still about a victorian era. that's unserious as it. I mean it's trying to give you like he. Photographs dead bodies and then the mystery starts from there. It's a little. He's immortal photographer. Yeah interesting yeah well. We saw some some pretty high drama on. There wasn't high-drama angela. Lansbury like do do do ride my bike. Murder doesn't just that stuff missing kids and yes divorces and shit. But i mean i. I didn't see this when we came across it. But every time i look up a corn the always remind me that they have a show with lucy lawless. Oh my god yes. And i'm just like xena is back in zina's back and talking her full australian accent just full full-on lesbian superstar. Yes yes and i. You know what. I thank you for reminding me..

"Congress has returned to washington and is rushing to pass spending bills as the debt limit needs to be raised and that will go ahead. I'm sorry to interject their but riddle me this if you would be so kind. My understanding is the debt limit has been raised since it was instituted at least eighty times rather than. What's the purpose of having a debt limit. They're gonna do it again. Perhaps justify legislators salaries futile attempts haul them to reason ability. Just my first reaction to the question.

"They're going to face all year at wide receiver that was really really encouraging and part of that also has to do with jessie bates on the back end. Those guys can hide hide flaws. And i do think that it was fair to say that. He is cornerback. one. I know they're not paying him. What they're paying wayne's right. But i think plays he's quarterback zero guys not play snap. You said that. I look nothing against the guy. But that's what he is not his fault but he's in the crazy part about it is i think he makes that tackle like he's tackling. Cornerback right and i thought that dalvin cook was going to be able to be the one that forces eli apple to. Misadventure tackles now. That didn't happen because the defensive line how they played. But not having wayne's if they do get him back at some point he he certainly upgrade from apple which probably isn't hard to do after yesterday's talking about the offensive line five sacks. Yup joe was hit if you pile on top of that. The twelve pressures. He was a bunch rolled his ankle late in the game. The i think we put some j. p. rhine vacation not have him in pass protection anymore because that was terrible. Assess for me that unit. Because i can point to mix and still had a one hundred twenty seven yard day on the ground one twenty seven one fifty total with three passes and had a productive day on the ground really. Didn't rip off any many long runs but still productive day on the ground. Doubt joe was good enough to have a statistically the day that he had at the same time it did feel like he was under pressure. More than we were hoping in the five sack total. That's not gonna work. That's not going to sustain. We talked about this season being one. You've got to keep joe borough upright. It's very easy to do this. He's on pack to be sacked on pace to be sacked eighty times. I ain't gonna work. No it's not gonna work is entirely too much. You got hit too much in the thing was is. The offense was running through mixing He leads the team in touches. Has a bunch of touches. Twenty nine carries like you mentioned for research also design. That's what's supposed to happen for sure. Yeah yeah i'm not complaining. That he was on the field for fifty four snaps. And i might be wrong on that. Seventy percent of the snap had sixty nine total on offense and he had thirty-three touches so that's great especially if it's productive But if you're doing that burrows shouldn't be getting hit like he was and so there's the concern that the issue and this is why i would have played trae hopkins in the preseason. I think he clearly looked like he was rusty. I get it hell. I didn't tornado in january..

Act there's even a narrative out there that people who file a lot of these lawsuits are bad actors professional plaintiffs gifters.

You might not have seen it happen or it might have taken a decade longer. Which means you would not even have the infrastructure that the internet relies on today for high speed internet.

Furthermore not have had people adopt as quickly the idea of using satellites to beam information at television information out too many far spread networks.

I go to the individual players. Sometimes their parents around. I go to them just to make sure that i've got it right because years ago. We had a guy that i was saying at one way. And everybody else was saying at the different way and i was getting blamed. And i'm like no. I checked with dad and mom. I got it straightened. The horse's mouth and eventual. Everyone's and start saying the way i was when it comes to the opposition We trade in the pac twelve trade. We each one of us. Broadcasters does a pronunciation guide verbally for everybody else and then i recheck that with the opposing announcer. Before i do the ball game and like you said What do you get. The polynesian. Names can be very tough. Those are ones just continue to mutter to myself the entire week leading up to broadcast. Hope i get relatively close and don't offend to get a part of that email list on some names. I might be sure throughout the season. I'm just gonna start texting. Whatever whatever i do mind. i'll just go ahead and santa. i love it man. Mark appreciates is always good to catch up again. We'll talk to you next week. Smart johnson the voice of the colorado buffaloes scary when you think about like the nc double a. And could it all. Could this business that we know as today completely change and i talked about it on the show that i it is a business. It is what it is and the the scholarships are great. I have a college degree. I do and i'm not. I loved my time at unc. It was a great time. I loved learning. I loved being in the classroom. But i don't know that that's for everybody and even if it is for people you leave your leave your college education and maybe you go do something else. That didn't even have anything to do with it. You see that all the time. So i do wonder if the ncw what that's going to look like at some point. If it just kind of separates they're still part but the team that the players.

The doctor said that when i had seizures i had eighty times my own 'human strength and he just looked at each other. We're like what that doesn't even notice any sense. Doodoo an epileptic seizure. Yeah i had eighty times. He's a superhero. He's a marvel superhero. Get seizures okay. So friends in high school would often witness gays father abusing gase. He would rarely provoke his father. I mean they even. The sister said that like when his when their dad went downstairs to drink he came up a totally different person so according to family and friends that witnessed the abuse. They said that. Casey rarely fought back against his father and usually the mother was the one that would step in. Which would lead to even more name calling gase calling him a momma's boy in a wimp and all that stuff so like we said gay see had a pretty rough childhood and it's it's lining up for the things that are gonna come later in this episode that we're gonna talk about the product of an abusive home sexual assaults and living in the shadow of his alcoholic father so post childhood in the nineteen sixties at age. Eighteen gase started getting involved with the local politics working as an assistant for the democratic party. So this led to even more disgust from his father who just called him a patsy and you know i would imagine that. His father was not a democrat. And that's why he. He was getting these kind of responses from them but even at eighteen gazes father still was imposing his will on the boy he bought his son a car towns nice but he also used that car to punish him he would take the keys away and even went as far to take parts off the car so it wouldn't start okay. That's an extra step. That's an extra i will. I mean right. Yeah i just thought of the shining in watching like jack torrance or jack torrance all the spark plugs. Yeah i just what it reminded me. Of course horror movie right. What do you expect that from ryan by now so he would take these parts off the car in the last time that he did it. He put the car back together for gays engage decided to use that as his escape so he left chicago and ventured out to las vegas. He initially worked as an ambulance at an ambulance service before being transferred to a mortuary working for them for three months while also living in the mortuary now this next part i i. I'm going to say it because it was set at one point by him and then declined later but that is like right in line with everything that he says. He eventually declines later. Yeah so he. He confessed that while being alone at the mortuary one night he climbed into the coffin of a deceased teenager cuddling and rubbing the dead body before going into a state of shock. Now he says that that's a wild store. There's no way did anything like that..

South Africa halts AstraZeneca vaccine rollout
"South africa has halted its rollout of the oxford astrazeneca vaccine just a week after the country received. Its first million doses. It seems the vaccine offers limited protection against a new variant of the corona virus. That's now dominant in the country. Salim abdul karim co-chair of south africa's ministerial advisory committee on covid nineteen spoke to a world health organization briefing yesterday. We don't want to end up with a situation where we vaccinated million people too. Many people would have vaccine that may not be effective in preventing hospitalization and severe disease in total more than one point. Two billion corona virus doses have been allocated for the continent. But it's not clear when all those jobs will arrive. The longer any region remains unvaccinated. The greater the chance that more variants arise vaccines though can be tweaked in a formulation of the oxford vaccine targeted at the south african variant could be going into arms by autumn. What scientists cannot address is the long run damage to africa both in human and economic terms so far continent to have been spared from the worst case scenarios predicted early on in the pandemic but the longer term picture remains bleak many ways the impact of the pandemic and africa is worse than it appears on the surface around the official numbers. Kenley salmon is one of our africa correspondent based in dakar. It is the case that having a young population has to some extent protected the continent from the virus africans and died from it that americans europeans but the true scott of infection. Death is really hard to gauge. Studying sudan recently showed the perhaps only two percent of all the covid desk for a quoted in the official tally and the economic impact is worse than it looks last year. The region's economy shrank for the first time. In twenty five years tourism has been badly hit as have commodity exporters things like oil in nigeria and taken together. Gdp per capita fell below twenty ten levels last year so things are perhaps not quite as bad as some other parts the world but certainly still very tough and things may get tougher house. What are the particular challenges to africa. Africa faces quite a number of challenges in the next few years as it tries to recover from the pandemic but the biggest i of the really is vaccines. Some african governments have perhaps failed to grasp the urgency of the situation in tanzania for example the populace president john food even casually cast out with a vaccine work but i do forgive aside claiming the postman precautions such as steaming nation were better than vaccines and even added that if the white man was able to come up with next nations then. Vaccinations for aids. Malaria and cancer would have already been found. So it's not so much a question than of supply. I mean given that quite a few vaccines have been essentially booked at the stage. A number of vaccines have been booked but the big question is when will they arrive because right now there aren't anywhere near the number of axes required forever on in the world and rich countries are of course the front of the queue for those vaccines have been produced africa's going to need perhaps two point six billion doses to vaccinate everyone and those are not being made locally so they have to rely on supplies elsewhere for the moment so that means joining the queue. All this means that whereas rich countries aim to vaccinate most of their people by the middle of this year the african. cdc a public health. Bali in africa's aiming for sixty percent of africans to vaccinated by the end of next year. But even that may be too optimistic. For the poorest countries. The economist intelligence unit sister organization estimates that in most african countries most people will not be inoculated until mid twenty twenty three or even early twenty twenty four and there must be serious consequences of it being that long until the continent is on average vaccinated. Africa is likely. It doesn't get those vaccinations into suffer. Further waves of the infection while after the disease may have amped in the rich world. And that of course will cause more death and more suffering. Doesn't risk that. Having the virus transmitting between people frequently africa could allow new variance to evolve. We've already got the south. African variant and these new variants could endanger people even in rich countries if they prove to be resistant to vaccines and then finally of course not having vaccines could force. African policymakers to continue with these very difficult economic lockdowns curfews even after many other countries around the world set free of those kinds of restrictions and if the public health concern lasts that long then surely the economic concerns will last at least that long. That's right in many african countries facing pretty severe crises at the moment just getting finance to pay their bills. Africa has very limited fiscal space on average countries in sub saharan africa. Spending more than thirty cents on every dollar. They raise and text revenue paying their debts. And that's up from twenty cents on the dollar before the pandemic on the debt side to over half of low income sub saharan african countries are now classed as in distress or at high risk of distress. According to the imf and what about countries with bigger economies the two biggest economies in africa nigeria and south ever both in pretty deep trouble nigeria for example was described by the world. Bank is being an unprecedented crisis. Recently the bank is not normally quite so blunt in nigeria. There has been a legacy of management for a number of years and pandemics really accessible that quite badly. Now focused suggested by twenty twenty three. Gdp per capita may go back as low as it was in one thousand nine hundred eighty time when the oil price was some high on so africa too is in trouble that have been in recession twice in the last three years before the pandemic hit of course now is dribbling itself with a particularly heavy toll from the pandemic so both countries in fact are facing a difficult road out of the crisis. And what about outside help in terms of financing has been quite a bit of outside help although the crisis of course is very big but in twenty twenty the imf for example provided sixteen billion dollars in loans most of that came with relatively few strings attached and this help frigging countries to respond to the pandemic to avoid some of the liquidity crises that were looming the world bank also dispersed another ten billion but many countries got that funding to if the imf under emergency allocations that came quickly and relatively easily and those allocations for many countries will soon be exhausted. The rich world has been trying to help when it comes to debt. They've provided liquidity to countries through some bits of suspension initiative that basically allows poor countries to put off debt repayments until july. Twenty twenty one. This is of course helpful but the trouble is that those payments just suspended and they have to be paid back with interest in about five years time so as the chief economist for africa the world bank put it to us. It may just be kicking the can down the road to. How do you see this playing out. Then how high could the human cost of all this be while the stakes are pretty high. The pandemic has already done lower damage to people's health and africa. it's hitting their economic prospects and they wealth and it's also affecting education of course. Hundreds of millions of students in africa have been affected by school closures. This increases the risk of dropouts and reduces the prospects for africa's largest every generation so overall the costs here really quite significant. There are some reasons for optimism. We may see vaccine rollouts accelerate. There's also hopes that commodity price rises could give africa real boost as the global economy recovers been on balance. The evidence probably points to at pretty difficult road ahead with several more waves of the virus hitting already struggling health systems and perhaps a form of economic long covert in africa. So you know africans have come through this showing remarkable resilience but it may be toughest years are still to come in. Thank you very much for joining us. thank you

In Syria's trouble: An Embattled Despot Digs In
"It's approaching ten years since the civil war in Syria began the signs of battle are all around. And this in the middle of a residential area which both sides agreed they'd stay out of. With help from Iran and Russia, and by bombing and gassing his own people wash our Assad the country's dictator have all but one. But Mr Hope of rebuilding the country's devastated economy are far from being realized. The currency is collapsing. America is continuing its sanctions. A financial crisis in neighboring Lebanon is adding to the pain. And covid nineteen it hitting the country hard. While support for Mr Assad both abroad, and within his own ranks is weakening. It seems unlikely that his grip on power will be loosened. The humanitarian situation in Syria has never been was and economic desperation is gripping the country Nicholas Pelham is our Middle East correspondent. You're hearing tells women who are having to. Boil weeds. Children can eat manna scrambling over each other to get bakeries. Their queue snaking across cities for fuel is begins to run out the currency has collapsed. It indeed is Kinda. So worthless now that people are using the notes to roll cigarettes, it's a really grim situation either. I mean, we've talked about the misery in Syria several times before his is all of this, still the ringing down of of the civil war, it's absolutely the case although the has subsided, the regime has not been able to reap the fruits of that military victory. It was really hoping that this was going to be it's Year of recovery and that just hasn't happened in it that it was gonna be able to. Take the last stronghold of rebel control in the north but instead the come Tux consolidated the hold in the north and the Kurds with American support of building up a variety in the northeast on top of that you've had the Lebanese banking crisis. Was the place which Syria used for banking the banks of very choppy limited withdrawals. People can't get Dulles out the kind of value of Lebanese pants has. that. Sort of knock on effect in Syria that you've had American sanctions which have been tightening. There was a new raft of sanctions this summer on top of that, you've got covid nineteen, which is also exacerbating the pain. How? So how has the the pandemic played out in Syria. Officially, the figures were about less than two hundred deaths from covid. Nobody really believes these figures doctors are being ordered to report new near as case of death even when it's clear that it's covid nineteen, the government doesn't have the means to provide basic protection. The population has been to brutalized by the water really much more about taking further precautions. Even if they have the means, their reports of anything up to sixty percent of businesses closing down in Damascus, you're having other independent surveys research that anything to. Forty percent of the population. There may have had the virus and the kind of figures out maybe eighty times what officials are estimating the hospitals can't cope. You need to have kind of great connections to be able to get into hospitals. Say doctors a resorted to going around the streets with extreme canisters, offering of dose of oxygen to victims, and they're saying that they're inundated covert is making already dust situation far far worse and the Syrian conflict has always been one with a lot of international players I mean what about the international allies that the regime would have turned to? The regime still does have friends abroad but who still remain either. Come to the regime's aid or they weren't by Russia and Iran who regimes patrons of facing American sanctions that's limited for instance, Iran's ability to get fuel to Syria, which is one of the contributing factors behind the fuel shortage. The Syrians Gripe that the Russians could be doing an awful lot more than they are in the past they have helped supply wheat. They're continuous complaints for instance of the Russians on providing fuel to anything other than. Military. So there's a sense of the kind of the Russians could be doing more but they. Almost relish opportunity to let the regime squirmed the the weaker it becomes more dependent becomes more Moscow hopes that it might be in a position to dictate terms and all all it seems that the regime is being evermore squeezed from that. So where does that leave Mr? Then what will he do? What can he do? In many ways, his resume has proved remarkably resilient. It still functions as state is security forces still able to suppress the population and keep them in check. You've had a few protests, but there's a quickly snuffed out and his regime in many ways, it's becoming more predators used to prey on the rebels rose up against it at preyed on its opposition, and now it's preying on its own supporters. There are checkpoints across regime areas way if you want to bring trucks across, you're GonNa have a letter with you might have to pay bribes, generals and warlords attending evermore into tax farms, raising taxes for the regime and taking account. So it's kind of regime which is struggling to retain his patronage system struggling to retain its control over the economy and doing that by praying evermore on its own population. Will you say the regime is resilient I mean can continue to be on with with all of these headwinds. Do you think? Certainly. You can find businessman in Damascus today who feel that the regime is kind of more under pressure than they can remember and they really questioned whether the regime can survive. That said kind of consensus seems to be that this is a regime that will continue to fight for its own survival. No matter what. Really have nowhere else to turn matter how disgruntled they are nobody else? Is GonNa pay what salaries they get. They don't trust any post regime since they think they're going to. The victims of that and the regime itself looks as if it's happening to continue in perpetuity, you've got presidential election scheduled for December of next year will give President Bush said another seven years together with his wife Asma. They look if that grooming there eighteen year old son Hafiz takeover sometime in the future say I mean this is a regime which is going to continue to fight for survival no matter what the cost for its own population.

Trump Administration Rolls Back Obama-Era Restrictions On Methane Emissions
"Today the trump administration rolled back another environmental rule. This one was aimed at reducing climate warming methane emissions. The oil and gas industry is the largest source of those emissions in the US and get some big oil companies wanted to keep the rule in place NPR's Jeff Brady's covering this story. Jeff Hi, Ari. Why did the Obama Administration create this rule in the first place about methane emissions back in two thousand, sixteen it there's a lot of concern about methane. It's the main ingredient in natural gas and when it's burned, it's cleaner than other fossil fuels. But when it escapes into the atmosphere unburned safe from a leaky valve at a well drilling site, it's a very potent greenhouse gas it. Has More than eighty times the climate warming power of Carbon Dioxide over the first twenty years it's in the atmosphere. So under the Obama Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency required oil and gas companies to monitor and limit methane leaks, I to newer wells, and eventually to thousands of wells installed before twenty fifteen Also, that's by some oil companies. especially smaller ones oppose the rule they said. It's too costly. Now, the trump administration deciding with US companies and rolling back the requirement it says that they'll save those companies up to about nineteen million dollars. A year in compliance costs is the flip side of that cost saving an acceptance that methane emissions are gonNA rise. Yeah. Yeah. you know the the administration echoes and industry argument says oil companies have an incentive to stop. Methane from leaking because that's the product that they sell, and the industry already has a voluntary program to reduce methane emissions The administration also says the Obama EPA rule that they say it was duplicative they say methane can already be regulated under other rules but environmentalists methane is such a problem that it needs special attention. Here's a Peter Zahle South with the Group Environmental Defense, fund? Reducing methane emissions. Is One of the fastest whammos, low cost and most effective ways that we can combat climate change in the near term, and he says, there are side benefits to that old rule that the Obama administration had had passed because it also reduces other pollution that harms people's health. That's what we would expect to hear from an environmental group. But explain why some big oil companies also want to stick with the twenty sixteen rule even if it does cost the money to comply. Yeah and these are companies names we recognize Exxon Mobil BP shell they have a lot invested in natural gas and they worry if methane leaks continue to be a problem that could undermine their arguments that natural gas is a cleaner burning fossil fuel than say coal the president of Shell in the US Gretchen Watkins told us in a statement that she finds it frustrating and disappointing. The Administration is rolling back these regulations, her companies and others plan to continue their efforts to reduce methane emissions and some. States also have their own programs underway. So states and big companies are still focused on stopping these leaks is the trump administration's robot going to have much of an effect. It likely will especially because there won't be that requirement to go back and stop leaks at older wells Environmental Defense Fund calculates. The effect would be about the same as adding greenhouse gas emissions from one hundred coal fired power plants every year by rolling back these these these regulations. But there are two caveats here. One is the rollback will be challenged in court and second if Joe Biden wins in November and Democrats take control of the Senate, this nothing rule could be reversed again NPR's Jeff Brady thank you.

Tyler Gibbs and Jack Irving of Toyota Racing Development's TD2 driver development program
"Now. Let's get to part two of our conversation with Tyler Gibbs and Jack Irving just this I want to give you guys a chance to put some names with some faces here people who are listening. We've mentioned Christopher Bell. You guys mentioned Harris and Burton. I was reading a motorsports analytics story today in which Jack was quoted very highly on Chandler. Smith just wanted to give you a chance to tell us a little about. Who'S IN THE LINEUP? Right now and we're the names. We should be watching it from the Toyota racing development driver program. So it's funny. I think we have some remarkable kids coming up of all different ages all different ranges But it's still development like Chandler. Smith is is a gifted driver. I mean in in we've been with Chandler for three or four years i. I don't remember how long it's been a few years. He's been fantastic. He's always been a strong late model. Racer Kinda in his family team was was quite gifted enabled to kind of compete at a very young age with some very high level guys in racing and then he transferred that into Arca adventuring end and has been fantastic and the more he matures the better. He gets Which is really exciting. He's similar to like a younger Jones in that respect where he's young and been around it and he seemed so much older in a car and so much more mature in so that is translated into the truck races he ran last year and and I have some pretty high expectations of him as he does of themselves but he's definitely one of our up and comers that is on the young side mean seventeen and still developing and then obviously there's the Raphael Lazard the neckaces that we've been with for quite a while and I think most people know of Kazan truck races now. That were pretty happy about. And then there's there's lots of kids that we actively engage with and develop in all different areas were lucky not geographically focused either because we have teams all over the place and that's helped us engage with maybe some kids we probably wouldn't necessarily always get access to so there's some good kids in California. There's kids racing for Keith in Indiana. There's just there's just a lot of strong drivers out there the thing that's so interesting though. Is that their kids and kids. You never know what's going to happen so it's still development. I mean it's it's People. WanNa say whatever they want to say about how what what it takes to make it? But they're a work ethic focused drive a passionate WanNa do it is all super important to to make it and at some point maintaining that from fourteen fifteen. Sixteen seventeen is very very difficult to do. Know we can talk about it all the time about being focused in wanting it and all that but the proof is in Monday through Friday. And how hard? They're working what they're doing and to to be on top of their game and and for whatever reason at times that lapses and you know you could take a great kid who's Fourteen Jesse. Love is a kid we've been with since he was twelve. I think thirteen stupid. How young that was East we're really excited about him and you know then. There's kids like Geo celts. Who came out of nowhere in dirt and had outlawed program in in our racing with us and pavement. That's a little bit kind of a different road that he traveled and then we have Holly Holland and Greasy Trotter. Who really come aboard and done a really good job in kind of in all of our testing have looked quite good still have a lot of development to do. You know there's there's kids we lost Based on Ford coming in that is painful to so. There's I think there's a lot of good crop of young kids coming out racing and as long as they all continue to work hard developing keep good people around him then hopefully we'll see him down the road. We really good group. We have a good team of kids. it's exciting to them kind of interact with each other watch the quote unquote older kids. Who may not actually be older but have been in higher level than others and back and forth and so he has Jackson. We're really excited about about our kids. You mentioned most of the ones I attend to hit their Jesse loved Yosemite. I think Logan. Cv also part of the lineup. I believe I mean so. Logan was Logan is not as involved now. We still are working through some things to see if there's ways to work together it's just difficult to the process is difficult and how everybody fits in where they go. I mean Logan is ridiculously talented. I mean it's it's just finding the path and making it work is always hard. You know I mean you look at the McNally Lineup or venturing lineup with I mean. You have Corey Haim and drew dollar and Michael Self Austin Hills Rachel H at hr e and in. He's ridiculously good. And He's twenty four with two kids for God's sake so I mean it's awesome right. I mean in in in in Austin Hugely Involved Maximum Laughlin with with a jury in there. There is an amazing group of kids in. What's interesting is we're kind of lucky. We have some really driven dedicated guy who want participate and show up every day. And I mean that's what's crazy about the performance central a lot of those that we talked about minus the group their local to North Carolina. Right you get into dirt kids in our dirt. Kids are Cap. GotTa be the younger kids we've ever had consistently with Daisin Ken McIntosh and Buddy I mean it. Just these they're all babies right in and so they're and they're out. There racing are trying to raise eighty times a year. I mean it's it's just an amazing amazing situation but I think we've been very lucky. I mean part of it is. I think what we've done is a little bit different and and our teams of Baden in. That's been a big part of it. That's it goes back to what I said before. The integration of the teams is pretty special and something. I think I'm probably most proud about. Is that all those teams engage in actively discuss things with each other to try to help develop the drivers.

"Okay well we're gonna talk about these new trump rules on loosening methane rules which ironically big oil companies oppose these nobody was looking listening not roles much like the car companies did weird and yet in one of the forward why because small oil and gas companies say that they're too onerous so basically these are obamacare rules that say if you are pumping gas or natural gas you've got a seal all these leaks that produce a lot of methane which is eighty times more powerful than carbon dioxide so the natural gas parts of Exxon and show for example are saying well we want to promote this as a clean alternative and we can't promoted as clean if all of it is leaking into the air and causing global warming so this is not good for us okay anyway it's upside down land version of an upside down news EPA is proposing loosening restrictions on the oil companies are saying don't

How P/E Multiples Work
"Let's start with the jordan whites who writes us from yale university you're on a monitor a fine fine institute's if ever there was one 'em jordan a little bit younger he's class of twenty twenty flipping jordan writes i was hoping you could explain pe multiples a bit confused why shake shacks multiple super high why would a stocks earnings per share go down when their stock price goes up tim ask questions so clearly it's not for me a there there yeah the city multiple is well one got a point a made up of two points the price any earnings and it's a shorthand to get into part of the story on a stock a so you know the stock is trading at twenty times earnings and the markets twenty times earnings and okay seems like as sounds like sort of an average amount of enthusiasm for that company based on that very limited bit of datta what if companies trading at seventy eighty times earning like a like shake shack a why why is the trading that high end of their maybe a number of reasons typically it's going to be other things being equal that the present earnings are a indicating whether the prison earnings are low but the future earnings are gonna be much greater and it's a fast growing company a trade at such a high p multiple and something like a car maker for gm they tend the trade five six seven times earnings their their cyclicals companies they make much much more money they have much longer history then shake shack a but that long history also shows they do not grow ten percent year after year after year rather they have a burst of a money making in a good year a and then the the cycle turn so they they don't sort of compound the growth of the company in in a meaningful way the way that least be enthusiastic people out there for shake shack right now look at the number restaurants they have the number of restaurants they could have in the future number of restaurants they say they're they're building every year a and i said look that's that's worth a lot more i find that in my own investing life i used the pe ratio show only when it's an outlier meaning at and and now that i think about it really just on the high side i will of maybe avoid buying shares of a company if if they p is so insanely hi that i just sort of look at it and go wait a minute there's there's so many assumptions built into this in terms of growth that i don't think i can justify putting my money here and i'm gonna find investing ideas elsewhere on the flip side i don't think i've ever bought stock simply because the be super low i've i've never sort of looked at a company like how look how cheap this is i know and and by the way plenty of people invest that way and do quite well investing that way well in most of the history of the stock market involves that being a successful strategy that bit people focusing on lower p e companies made more money then people buying stocks at higher peas and and that has not been the case for a certainly the last five years and the better part of a longer periods like ten and twenty years where growth is outperformed value 'em and that is so those that would say look you know the pd multiple for year nasdaq stocks is gotten out of control peas always come back to you know the the last hundred and twenty year average and just you wait it's all it's all it's you can't go go like this and that arguments stems from typically you need to grow a company twenty percent you need to keep buying more stuff you need to build another factory you is there is there is more physical demand 'em on what you needed in order to grow with software companies things which can scale a very very fast with very little incremental new investment there there is a reason to consider whether you know whether it's different this time as as some people you know point out that is the the words you should be most frightened by 'em but you don't ford can't really change ford is not benefiting from the scale ability of internet particularly and so they're trading at about the same range they have always treated whereas the the microsoft and other software companies the trade of the different multiple
Pro Football Talk with Mike Florio
When you think of Ichiro's career you think hits and steals, but don't forget about his incredible arm
"You've heard Ichiro reported his he's going to retire after this game today that they're playing this morning in Japan. Now, he has three thousand hits I did some research. Thirty two players have three thousand hits twenty-seven have five hundred home runs. If you're a player, which which feet would you rather achieve five hundred home runs or three thousand hits in today's game. Five hundred home runs. Three thousand hits is nice. But I don't know if people really look at that is that's an incredible it is an incredible feat. I don't know of today's baseball generation looks at that and says boy he had ten consecutive seasons of two hundred hits or more along with Pete Rose. You also stole five hundred basis. I don't think that we look at though, they're not glamour numbers anymore stolen, bases hits. And it used to be. But now, I think it would be home runs. If I could have five hundred home runs as opposed to three thousand hits today twenty years ago. I'm taking the three thousand hits factor in sabermetrics with that opinion because obviously on base percentage has become in some people's mind more important than batting average. You remind me of sabermetrics, I never think of sabermetrics the game. I mean, I don't know if it changed it in a good way. I think there's so many stance with baseball that you're you're you're drunk with stats. You drowned in those stats homerun, very simple. There's nothing to factor in with that. It's just you hit a home run. What if back in the day, they decided to walk counts for a hit which would have been very reasonable. Measure, in fact, probably more reasonable than not counting for. I don't know why they decided not if they did that then you would look at Adam Dunn is I'm sorry. The former White Sox slugger as as valuables in each row. It was just a random decision statistically, not to count walks. Yeah. I mean, you count points for free throws on base percentage. I know that that's a big deal. But it makes you well you keep saying Adam Dunn. One of the great players because I look at on base percentage. I just think a guy who strikes out one hundred eighty times to two hundred times in a season. You're not even putting the ball into play. How can that guy? Be that valuable. Okay. He walks hits home runs or strikes out. That's not somebody. I wanted my lineup. Yeah. Paulie? He didn't really have a great base percentage. No. He did. He did not walk a lot. We do. We ran the numbers a little bit each came into the league at twenty seven. And he was he won MVP as a rookie and rookie of the year. If he would come in just two seasons earlier at twenty-five with how good he was you could tack on another almost five hundred hits he'd be sixth all-time he'd be over thirty five hundred hits. If he just came in at age twenty five twenty seven. Yeah. Now, he's a great player didn't win. Anything was baseball. You can be selfish in a team sport. Because it's you at the plate. Now, there are other mitigating factors in there. But still you go to the plate. It's just you. And he's playing in right field. He was very good outfielder. Great arm. I don't know how many Gold Gloves, but he won a few Gold Gloves out there, but three thousand hits five hundred stolen bases in first. Ballot hall of Famer he came into the league with the Seattle. Mariners magin if he would've came into the league with the New York Yankees with how he came out of the gate. Oh, one through nine. He was through two thousand ten all star every year top twenty MVP every year. Imagine if you did all that with the Yankees where he'd be looked at

Incredible Benefits of Leaving Your Phone Out of Your Bedroom, Stopping Time
"Today. You learn about what would happen if you could actually stop time, scientifically speaking, the incredible benefits of leaving your phone out of your bedroom and one of our favorite scientific discoveries of the year, a new world beyond Pluto. Let's discover some curiosity, you know, how some superheroes and super villains can stop time. Well, it turns out the real world effects of stopping time wouldn't be very practical. But there are pretty fun way. To learn about physics say I loved this article. Yeah. Me too. I loved writing it. I'm really big into time stopping because I played a lot of mega man to and I was little flash man is iconic. Really good music too. Yeah. Actually, you helps me with this article. 'cause I was like what's an example of a time where you stop time, and you're like mega man, I remember and then time stopped, and I thought to myself now is my chance. Anyway, good before we get into this. Let's define what we mean. By stopping time. We're talking about when you stop time for everything, but you of TV shows or movies where everything's frozen and a character walks around moving stuff, Adam Sandler and click Keanu Reeves in the matrix stuff. Like that will for the Stephen work you need to account for every molecule of fluid and air inside and outside of your body. If you're able to move around then we have to assume the molecules inside you can move around too. And if the air and the rest of the room stopped experiencing time, then every molecule would stay suspended precisely in the same location. So you wouldn't be able to move because you'd be trapped in a prison of air molecules. So let's say the time keeps flowing normally for the molecules near your body and beyond that time standstill. All right. Well, there's still a problem as you listen to this particles of light called photons are traveling at the speed of well, light, obviously into your eyes. You're also hearing this podcast at the speed of sound through. The air as pressure waves that eventually get your ears to vibrate. Your eardrums these stop time than all light and sound would stop to which might leave you instantly deaf and blind. Not super helpful, right? Okay. Let's say that any photons said it already been omitted from a source like a lightbulb your cell phone or the sun. Let's say that those photons got to keep traveling. Okay. Well, then you've got anywhere from a fraction of a second to a full eight minutes where you could still see, but we want unlimited time. So let's not stop it completely instead of stopping it. What if you slowed it to a crawl well that wouldn't work either? When he slowed down electromagnetic waves for light and pressure waves for sound you get waves of a lower frequency, but at a low frequency you'd hear sounds that dropped below the range of human hearing and light at a lower frequency moves into the infrared microwave and radio waves realm. So you wouldn't be able to see that either. In the end, maybe the ability to stop time is one of those superpowers in the. The be careful what you wish for category like reading thoughts and turning everything you touch into gold still who said science fiction can't help us. Learn about science today. Curiosity wrote about a new study, and we've got some really bad news. If you're a dicta- dear phone, oh, no participants in this study, you kept their smartphones out of the bedroom for one week showed a marks improvement in their happiness and overall quality of life. Wow. I'm not done. The also showed fewer signs of smartphone addiction, plus many of the participants reported that they slept better experienced less anxiety and improve their relationships more than ninety percent of the participants. Who did this said they might keep it up? I can't imagine being a person that would say they'd keep it up because I can't imagine being in person that would even do that. Okay. So I do have a suggestion for breaking the habit. Okay. And I learned in college that when you change a habit you have to replace it with something. Right. So you can't just stop doing a thing without replacing it with. Sure, obviously, you can swap out your phone for a book. It turns out that when you sleep after you learn something new you're able to remember it better later anyway. So if you're reading nonfiction book or a philosophy book, then you're gonna process that more, which is really cool. Here's another life hack on a more personal level my wife realizes the I'm really into gadgets. So like, I like Nintendo switch, and I like, my gaming PC's, and I just like techy stuff. So she got me an e reader she got me a kindle now. I've got a gadget I can bring the bed. Right. But at the same time also reading a book, so it's kind of like cheating. So if you at home are sleeping with someone. Who's tech obsessed like me, then get them in ear, and it'll even let you read in the dark, depending on the model like if it's got a back light, just don't use a tablet anything that emits blue light will actually disturb your sleep rights or there's a couple of suggestions. Do you have any reader? I don't you know, I've been wanting to read more books, and I use my phone too much. It seems like a simple fix all do it. I'm saying it right now on the podcast. I'm going to leave my phone out of my room when I sleep for the next week. I will check back in a week or two. All right. Today's episode is sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Everyone knows about the risks of driving drunk. You get in a crash people would get hurt or killed. But let's take a moment to look at some surprising statistics almost twenty nine people in the United States die every day in alcohol, impaired vehicle crashes. That's one person every fifty minutes. Even though drunk driving fatalities have fallen by a third in the last three decades drunk driving crashes still claim more than ten thousand lives each year drunk driving can have a big impact on your wallet to you could get arrested and encourage huge legal expenses. For example, you could possibly even lose your job. So what can you do to prevent drunk driving plant a safe ride home before you start drinking designate, a sober driver or call a taxi if someone you know has been drinking take their keys at arranged for them to get sober ride home. We all know the consequences of driving drunk, but one thing is for sure you're wrong. If you think it's no big deal. Drive sober or get pulled over. Astronomers have just discovered a new planet beyond Pluto, really not burying the lead hero we. Nope. This discovery hasn't been published in a peer reviewed journal yet. But the astronaut journal is considering the paper submission that talks about this discovery. And we found this planet by accident when we're looking for a different planet. So let's back up in two thousand sixteen. Astronomers got the idea that there might be a planet about as big as Neptune somewhere far away in our solar system. They call this world planet nine and astronomers all over have been looking for it. Nobody's found it yet. But it's probably worth remembering that spaces, you know, kind of big. So it might take years and years of searching before we confirm that planet nine exists. And in the meantime, we've found another tiny world out there. It's officially called twenty fifteen t g three eight seven, but astronomers took the T G part and ran with it. So they gave it the nickname. The goblin. The goblin is a dwarf planet that orbits the sun eighty times further away than earth one trip around the sun on the goblin would take about forty thousand years that's one long year. I mean, the last time the goblin was where it is now in its pather on the sun, we hadn't even invented civilization, let alone telescopes or spacecraft, but check this out even though we didn't find planet nine the goblin might tell us a lot about our solar system a straw. Owners ransom simulations of the goblin while assuming a planet the size of Neptune or a super earth was also out there long story short. It looks like if planet nine did exist than it actually shepherded the goblin along its orbit, in fact, planet nines gravitational influence might keep a bunch of distant worlds far away from it. Would you avoid the chance of a nasty collision? And here's another cool thing. There are other dwarf planets in the zone where we found the goblin these little worlds all travel in their own zone far away from the main massive our solar system where you find the eight planets closest to the sun that you know, in love taken together at the orbits of these dwarf worlds. Could be a powerful argument that planet nine is a real thing. Now, again, the planet's discovery is still waiting for peer review, but it could have big implications. And it's a good reminder that space is pretty big. So don't ever feel like looking up at the skies a waste of time unless you're staring at the sun don't do that to these stories and more on curiosity dot com to in this again Sunday as we recap a few.

Fentanyl use drove drug overdose deaths to a record high in 2017 - CDC Report

And shove it out of Colombian some of it out of the out of. The Afghan region, coming to the US from China, through the, US mail system and seventy, two. Thousand that's more than, the, entire, killed in action rate of the entire Vietnam war appalling so it's this synthetic opioids sentinel when it's mixed with heroin and other drugs that's making it more deadly no question fan all depending on. The study read it's probably eighty times more powerful and morphine.

Leadership why don't we have a former governor Senator president of a university, or physician acting as a drug policy director with the full support of other national, leaders it's odd to me too because for the.
