Markets Daily Crypto Roundup
A highlight from Crypto Update | Crypto Trading Volume Hits 4-Year Low
"This episode of Markets Daily is sponsored by Kraken. It is Wednesday, September 7th, 2023, and this is Markets Daily from CoinDesk. Hi, I'm Michelle Musso here with your crypto markets roundup. On today's show, we're talking Bitcoin, real world asset tokenization and more. And just a reminder, CoinDesk is a news source and does not provide investment advice. Much of the crypto market was slightly in the red over the past day, with Bitcoin still stock around $25 ,600. Activity in the crypto spot market fell to the lowest level in more than four years last month, extending a lull at digital asset trading desks. This comes as volatility sparked by Grayscale Investments' court victory over the U .S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the SEC, failed to stir traders from their lethargy. Grayscale is a subsidiary of the Digital Currency Group. CoinDesk's parent company. Spot trading volume on centralized exchanges cooled for a second straight month, falling almost 8 % to $475 billion, the lowest since March 2019, according to digital assets data and index provider CC Data. Trading volume refers to the total number of tokens that exchanged hands during a specific period. Volume and derivatives fell over 12 % to $1 .62 trillion, the second lowest since 2021. Derivative share of total market activity contracted for a third consecutive month. The dollar value locked in open derivative contracts tanked as well, wiping out over $4 billion in open interest on selected exchanges. That's the largest decline in open interest this year. The continuing decline is creating a challenging environment for exchanges and market makers who have been facing a tough time since Sam Bakeman Fried's FTX exchange went bust last November. That said, the hazy regulatory environment and depressed crypto markets are doing little to curb asset managers' interest in digital assets, according to a report released Wednesday by Coalition Greenwich, a unit of India -based credit rating company Crystal and Amber Data, a crypto data provider. According to the report, nearly 50 % of the 60 buy -side professionals surveyed from U .S. and European -based asset management firms and hedge funds during the months of May and June are actively engaged in the management of digital assets. Asset managers are generally optimistic about the growth opportunities in the digital assets industry and commercial opportunities to offer products like exchange -traded funds and tokenized securities. Today's crypto markets coverage comes from Jamie Crawley and Amkar Gabole. Stay tuned for after the break when we'll take a look at real -world asset tokenization. But before that, the Markets Daily team is excited to announce our new host, Noelle Acheson. Here's a message from her. Hi, I'm Noelle Acheson.

"In the pandemic we raised a special situations fund and bought 15 names in the REIT business and we were up like 70 % at one point. We're gonna do that again. I think if you take a long -term view some of these good companies are they're good companies with the wrong interest rate environment. I wouldn't even say they have the wrong balance sheet but they are so out of favor. Every day you pick up you turn on the news and real estate real estate real estate there's some really good buys out there. You were based in the northeast part of the United States for much of your career. You grew up in Connecticut. You were born in Long Island. I raised my family mostly in Connecticut. But you picked up and moved to Miami. Why did you do that a few years ago and any regrets about moving to Miami? Well, my mom is down there and I got divorced. That was one reason to your change life, start over. There was obviously a tax benefit to doing so and I'd sold an interest in my firm at the time. I was based in Connecticut. I was based in Greenwich. Our headquarters was there. But at that time, before COVID, people said, Barry, you're moving to another part of the world. Was that people thinking you were a little bit strange? Well, yes, they did. I didn't it'd think be that hard to move and make that my base of operations. It turned out I caught the wave perfectly. I was an early settler into Miami and the home prices probably tripled there. I shouldn't have traveled the world. I bought everything with my house. I are. You're a smart guy. I need a secretary of Treasury who knows real estate and, you know, who's a Democrat. assume I you're a Democrat? I put myself as an independent right now. But if a president, any president of any party then called you, would you ever go into government or you're a private sector person? No, I always serve the nation. I would. I think that, you know, I do think the government could use a few business people and despite the lack of love we may have for us, I think the government has to treat itself a little like a corporation. They have a budget and they have limited resources now. You have a 32 trillion dollar deficit so you have to figure out what you need to get done versus what you'd like to get done. There are so many benefits to being unemployed now. There's so many support systems that I think some people say I'll work time and collect my unemployment benefits. 31 percent of our housekeepers we cannot find. We're paying, we're paying five dollars an hour. We used to be paying nine and there are benefits and they're not there. Those people are probably some of these people that may be hanging out on unemployment ranks or getting all kinds of subsidies and we need the government to say if you have a hardship, and we understand we'll help you, but we should educate people. We should train them for jobs and bring them back to a productive society. And that was Barry Sternlick, chairman of the Starwood Capital Group. I'm Bloomberg Wealth with David Rubenstein.

The Growing Culture War Around Bitcoin
"Our feature today is entitled, DeSantis and the Growing Culture War Around Bitcoin. This week, CoinDesk published one of the most thought -provoking and balanced articles on Bitcoin mining I've ever read. The report is focused around the Greenwich Bitcoin Mining Company in upstate New York, which was at the center of a protracted media cycle last year after environmental activists claimed the facility was boiling the waterways and poisoning delicate ecosystems. Those claims went on to influence an actual policy decision by the governor of New York, restricting Bitcoin mining in the state. The thing is, most of the worst claims about Greenwich were straight up wrong. CoinDesk's Nick Day and other reporters took a trip up to Dresden in upstate New York to take the temperature of the lake and speak to the locals, finding that not a single lawmaker visited the Rust Belt town or spoke to its mayor before drafting what is essentially a freeze on new Bitcoin miners. Most of the Bitcoin mining debate today is centered around the Bitcoin network's environmental impact. Greenwich became a lightning rod because before the company moved equipment into the plant that now uses natural gas, it was deactivated, meaning when the miners were turned on, they weren't just drawing on electricity that would have been produced anyways, but actively releasing fresh so -called carbon into the atmosphere. The Bitcoin network uses as much energy as a country like Norway, and trying to wrap your head around whether that is or isn't worth it often comes down to your point of view on how you value permissionless money. Individuals can certainly make up their minds on the matter, but how a state should treat Bitcoin, for instance, whether mining should be encouraged or banned, is a societal -level conversation involving politicians, stakeholders, and those affected. In a behind -the -scenes account of how the story came to be, Day wrote that he expected locals to hate the plant. He and his team had heard that Greenwich was pumping pollution into Seneca Lake and creating incessant noise, a claim that was also debunked. Instead, the CoinDesk team found that many in the town and surrounding areas supported the upstart business. Although Greenwich created a relatively small number, every job counts in a town like Dresden, which has a population of just 296. In fact, a few complaints about Greenwich lodged by locals came from so -called cottage people, the wealthy out -of -towners with vacation homes on the lakeshore. Sure, as taxpayers, these people have a right to be concerned about their property value, but should their opinion matter more? Because it seemed

The Breakdown
Can Bitcoin Avoid the Partisan Curse?
"Today on Long Reads Sunday slash Saturday, where I want to start is with some further analysis around Ron DeSantis's announcement that he was a running for president and B in so doing was hoping to protect Bitcoin. Because this isn't a political show, I didn't get into the politics of DeSantis in America, although they are, of course, very complex. Plenty of people have pointed out that his focus on the freedom that Bitcoin creates is perhaps inconsistent with some of his other positions. But holding aside specific policies, there's also questions of what his embrace of Bitcoin suggests about how it fits into the larger partisan framework. CoinDesk's Daniel Kuhn wrote a piece this week called DeSantis and the Growing Culture War Around Bitcoin. Daniel writes, This week, CoinDesk published one of the most thought provoking and balanced articles on Bitcoin mining I've ever read. The report is focused around the Greenwich Bitcoin Mining Company in upstate New York, which was at the center of a protracted media cycle last year after environmental activists claimed the facility was boiling the waterways and poisoning delicate ecosystems.

He used to be a Michael Jackson impersonator and they give you the impression all he was doing was standing on the subway, doing a Michael Jackson routine. You need to know what this guy was about. In 2019, a guy named Castillo balthazar balthazar was assaulted by Jordan Neely, the 68 year old 68 year old New Yorker was interviewed by the New York Daily News. He said he should have been in some rehab center. On June 27th, 2019, Valtteri was on a platform at the west fourth street subway station in Greenwich Village. When Jordan Neely, the shank, the martyr, walked up to him and punched balthazar in the face. Balthazar, who's a Mexican immigrant who lives in Harlem, said I was waiting for the train looking at the monitor to see how long it would take to come out of nowhere, he punched me in the face. You know what else this shape has done? On November 12th, 2021, Jordan Neely was arrested for slugging a 67 year old female stranger in the face. And she exited a subway station in the East Village. This guy did this over and over and over and over again. He would go up to people and punch him in the mouth. 67 year old woman. That's what kind of a monster this guy was.

Why Did Adam Nicolson Write His New Book "God's Secretaries"?
"Of all, I always like to ask authors, why did you write this? Well, I came to a very odd route, a couple of years ago, in fact, in 1999, I was writing a book for the British government about a disastrous project they had called the millennium dome. I don't know if word of the millennium dome reached you over there. What didn't reach me personally, I can't speak for all my listeners. It was a huge, vastly expensive costing 1 billion pounds. One and a half $1 billion. Project to make us kind of grand celebration of the British national spirit. All the threads of British life were meant to be unified in this great circus tent in Greenwich in East London. And I was employed by the government to, well, not to beat about the voice to propagandize for it to rise in account of it as the most marvelous thing that ever happened. It was in the end, a complete disaster full of terrible bitter arguments and kind of a popular failure terribly criticized in the press and the generally a disaster. When I was doing it, a friend of mine said, of course, the thing you should be writing about is the King James Bible. Because the King James Bible in the early 17th century was also a great central government project aim aiming to unify all the different threads in the nation at the time. Bringing together vast numbers of very diverse people. And out of that, out of those same circumstances, which have made this modern disaster, the most beautiful book ever written in the English language emerged. And how did that happen? And I think that that is the question at the heart of my book.

"Or he'd say, who are the two or three people you know who are thinking about selling that I should be helping in this market and after not too long period of time, he started getting a steady stream of business, but was really miraculous is he started and he also was doing similar networking with the top agents. So he was going to, for example, he found out who the top agents were. Now he's in Greenwich, right? Great engine Manhattan share a lot of the same clients. Someone would move from Greenwich to back to the Manhattan, someone from Manhattan would move out to Greenwich. Greenwich is basically a bedroom community to Manhattan. So someone wanted to have a family wanted to have their own yard. You guys get the idea. Well, he then found out who the top listing agents were in Manhattan and then he went there, met with them, had lunch with them. And then they started sending him a lot of referrals. And so he had to point B there. That was how he was business networking and he started getting a steady stream of business that way. And he started sending business back to the other direction too from Greenwich back to Manhattan. You guys get the idea. But he never had to be a proactively generator because he was willing to do the work of building a center of influence and past clients. Now, again, the two downsides of doing it this way is you can't control when you're going to get a lead from your center of influence and past client west. We can tell you, for every hundred people, you're going to get ten transactions. But we can not guarantee it because frankly, those people are also getting solicited by other agents. We can't guarantee you whether you happen to live in a town like, you know, maybe people never move. All right, the average homeowner stays in the house for 5 or 7 years. Well, you happen to be in a community where they stay on the average. The average homework keeps their house for 30 years. Who knows, right?

"This is Bloomberg best on Bloomberg radio. I'm Ed Baxter. And I'm to these Pellegrini. The nation others are a lot of talk about struggle when it comes to investors, including from hedge fund investor, boaz Weinstein, founder of Sabra capital. You know, this has the feeling to me like we're going to be worried about some number of these things or new things for potentially quarters and maybe even years to come. And one student speaking there at the Bloomberg invest conference in New York. And all this talk about struggling companies and about struggling economy certainly puts debt in the spotlight as we've been talking about. Yeah, it sure has and we had a chance to hear about it from Jim zelter, co president at Apollo global management about the increasing opportunity to buy credit or paper as they call it. So here's zelter with Bloomberg's Lisa Abramovich at the Greenwich economic forum in Connecticut. Let's listen in. Certainly there's a big paradigm shift going on right now and you have to respect the markets, Bond vigilantes, they'll get rates where they should be. More so than the fed or the central banks. But it's an interesting paradigm shift where you see where rates have been and we've been in this period where there's been an undue focus on low rates and has put valuations very, very high. So it's a period of transition. You have to respect it, but also you want to be on your front foot, which we've been able to do over the last several months. And we'll continue to do so. What does that mean? Well, what it really means is if you've been prudent the last decade and not been over your skis and valuations and have been thoughtful about what you put on the books, there's a very interesting time. The cost of capital now matters, purchase price matters, and those who have capital and have a lot of flexibility in their toolbox, you will find many interesting companies from which to give capital to. Are you taking more risk right now or less risks than you were a month ago? You know, we're measured. We run a very, very large platform to over 550 billion in aggregate over almost 400 billion in debt. You really can't pick the bottom. It's really impossible to predict. You can prepare along the way, but we are we are methodically putting opportunities to work. We've been active in the CLO market. We've been active in working with some of the banks on the large ducks indications Citrix in particular. So, you know, I think I have a healthy respect for what's going on, but I don't think we are in the corner, Kyle ring by any means. I love the sanitized language that you're using, and then I think about some of the stories that we've written, including, you're talking about clos, we've worked with banks. We've helped them. You may be incredible amounts of money, especially recently with UK CLOs in the wake of some of the volatility. With Citrix, the banks that are with all of these hung bridge loans, right? Commitments that they made to finance mergers and acquisitions that are perhaps not priced the way that they were at the time of commitment. How many opportunities do you have to go in and buy some of these assets for the banks? Well, if you just put today in context with a decade or so ago in the GFC, the banks were arguably long, 500 plus billion of loans and high yield. Today, that number is circa 80 to a 100 billion. So it's a much smaller opportunity set. And much fewer, you know, not as many names. So we have a constant dialog where a very active trader with the banks, you know, no permanent Friends, no permanent enemies. We are very, very in great dialog with them. But uncertain names, we will partner in many regions, especially

"You have to have a realistic dialog and it's a challenging position. I think they want to move on. They want to get back in business. I mean, the reality is the high yield financing markets are arguably shut down right now. And I think that they would like to be in a position to be able to make new loans at appropriate levels and get paid fairly for those. So it's going to be an interesting period of transition between now and the end of the year. How much does your base case include four to four and a half percent fed funds rates for perhaps a year or even two? You know, I think that's got to be the base case. We're in a higher rate regime that has shocked the system and the monetary policy makers are trying to really shock the economy on this nasty concept of inflation So you have to expect we're in a higher rate period for some period of time. We're not macro investors. You've got plenty of other folks that can come up here and talk to you. But we're certainly in a higher rate regime for some period of time. That was Jim zelter, co president at Apollo global management, with Bloomberg's Lisa abramo at the Greenwich economic forum in Connecticut. And Denise, along with a focus on struggling companies, their debt and possible opportunities also comes a whole slew of investment styles. But even though stocks have fallen this year, one thing that some say is not coming back is value investing. Yeah, one of those saying that is hedge fund manager David einhorn, he's president and portfolio manager at greenlight capital. Of course he also says that means less competition for him, right?

"Assets like real estate investors do. Yeah, Denise, I had a lot of soul searching among real estate investors going on right now. And here's one approach from billionaire real estate investor Sam zell at the Greenwich economic forum. I actually bought some gold in the last year. I bought some gold stocks, and I bought some real live gold. I've never done that before. To me, it's reflective of the fact that I'm very concerned about Fiat currencies. You know, we had a gold standard. We had for many, many hundreds of years. Our monetary systems were predicated on real collateral for lack of a better word. Now Zelle does say his investment in gold is small so far. Others, though, Ed C gold in the distressed debt that's floating around now. Yeah, and Barry stern licht, who is a CEO at Starwood capital, is among those people. And here's stern Lucknow with shanali basic on the sidelines of the JPMorgan Robin Hood investor conference. Let's listen in. For me, for value guys that grew up with cash flows and I think value investing. There'll be incredible opportunities. I think what we're looking to do is pick through the debris and find the companies and the investments in our case and mostly in real estate that they're broken balance sheets, but not broken assets. And they'll be broken companies, but I mean broken balance sheets and companies too that I represent fantastic opportunities to deploy capital. Taking a medium's long-term view, I think the question for us and for investors is the faster the fed goes and the more damage they do, probably the faster we wind up having to lower rates when they realize the mistakes they've made, unfortunately, they're going to cost millions of people their jobs globally. And there's really hurting global trade and obviously you see the situation in the UK. People are beginning to talk about Japan, their defense of the yen and can they do that. I mean, they're putting unprecedented stress on the world. And Powell was unbelievably late doing this. He sat still while the meme stock craze was going on and I heard about 80% of the ICOs and the crypto world have gone bankrupt and the fed was quiet. And now people got employed, we should be proud of it three and a half percent unemployment rate, but they're hell bent on putting people out of work. And they're going to lose their jobs because of what they've done already. Why do you feel that way when there's still such a demand for labor in so many areas, including rolling over? It's rolling over. So the housing market, construction workers, construction projects, the auto workers that won't be demand for less demand for cars. I think the fed is looking in a rearview mirror. You're looking at a lot of information that's old. You just look at what CEOs are reporting and look at what you'll hear in the third quarter earnings reports. You'll hear probably decent earnings in the quarter. But then I think the outlooks will change the guidance will change. Because people are so uncertain and the currencies are creating quite a bit of volatility. And it's interest rate environment means that the project you were gonna do, you might wait and wait for more clarity, waiting is a recession. And I think, again, I think the question is, how fast will rates have to fall to fix the damage? And if he does too much too soon, he could make it this really bad. And I think you hear that. But I don't know. I mean, it's not our job to be equity market forecasters, but I am personally looking for opportunities that I think represent incredibly compelling long-term investments. And I think you're beginning to see them. Do you think that opportunity and distress in particular is something that is around the corner? Absolutely. This is a bunch of minefields, right? This is like you're going to hear about. That's why I kind of I'm so agitated about this because we're creating this collateral damage. And I kind of liken it so there were really smart things people did and there were healthy fish in the pond. And then these stupid things people did. And they were idiot investments and for whatever reason they called it the democratization of finance, which means you didn't have any idea what you were doing, but you were taking on professionals that did things like look at the quality of the company or the quality of the management. And so you thought the healthy fish would survive in the 6 fish would die. But the fed is draining the entire pond. So everyone's going to die. And so it's going to happen over time. You'll hear about explosion here and explosion there and explosion here and explosion there. And you're literally stepping into a minefield. And the fed, you know, what people don't realize is the fed has frozen the banking system. Not just in the U.S., but globally. So liquidity is drying up in the banks. And then the shadow banks are confused on that. But they're also nervous. So without liquidity in the system, not only are they raising rates, but they're obviously selling bonds at the same time. It's the fastest rise in rates in history. I think I just get angry at people who said the fed needs credibility to fight inflation. Wait, you'll get what you want. You'll get this recession. It's definitely coming. It's already here two quarters negative already, but you will see, look what's happening. Look at Nike, look at AMD. Look at target, look at FedEx. I mean, this isn't your normal market. This isn't like things are running away. Well, what about, we can talk all day about what this means for

Lady Gaga's 'House of Gucci' Is a Bust
"Let's talk about the House of Gucci. It's getting killed by critics. And that has to be killing Lady Gaga because I think she's gotten addicted to getting great or near great reviews and her acting work. I mean, I don't want to see her in fucking Tony Bennett saying, I know what's coming on in the next couple of days. I've been seeing ants for it. I'm not paying attention. When is it on? Where is it appearing? I don't want to know. I just think it's so silly when a young spry pop star sings with an old decrepit man. I love Tony Bennett, but no one can listen to his music anymore while he was alive. But he didn't die right. He's almost dead. I forget. I know he's right there. He stops singing. He retired. Thank God. You can't keep singing people. I mean, do you just want to see him walk on stage and say, hi, I'm Tony Bennett. Is that all you care about? You know he can't hit those notes anymore. Just get his albums. Don't make the guy sing anymore. But Lady Gaga did this thing years ago, okay, Tony and Levi, okay, great. It's a cute novelty thing. Enough. But now she's in the House of Gucci. And look, I love that she's Italian. I remember when she was named Stephanie germanotta and she was a hostess at a restaurant in Greenwich Village called Palma. Great restaurant. She had this ability to sing that nobody knew yet. She knew, but she's turned into a magnificent singer and a decent actress. I like the stars born a lot. House of horrors, people dig. I haven't seen it yet. I heard it's pretty good with her in it. She did not nail this Italian accent. I told you the second I saw a preview. Nope, don't go near this movie. It's gonna be awful. It's gonna be so much of a charade, I said Adam Driver is too Jewish to play an Italian. I didn't know he was Jewish. To me, he looks like as my father would say, his face looks like the map of Israel. He just looks like a Jew. There's nothing wrong with that. There are plenty of people Dustin Hoffman looks like a Jew. Plenty of you guys look like a Jew and plenty of people look Italian and Puerto Rican or whatever. Irish. He looks a Jewish. I can't believe he's not Jewish. But he still mastered the Italian accent better than Lady Gaga.

"I'm Noel King. I mean, Martinez and I'm Rachel Martin for more than a decade of an Austin has lived in other countries observing other systems of government, other societies Egypt, Iraq, China, He came back to the U. S in 2013 and found a country deeply divided. So he set out to understand why his answers are in a new book called Wild Land, The Making of America's Fury. And in it, he looks at three places You already knew. Well. Chicago, Illinois, Clarksburg, West Virginia and Greenwich, Connecticut, where he grew up a place that had accrued a massive amount of wealth. Over the past decades. His neighborhood was filled with walled off mansions were hedge fund managers lived. So many of them ended up being prosecuted for financial crimes that Evans Street Round Hill Road became known as Rogues Hill Road. It was here that he began to see America's vision for a common good start to erode. He tells that story through a man named chips, Calderon. Chip was a doctor and a decided to go into finance. It didn't know much about it. But at the time, hedge funds were beginning to hire people with backgrounds in health care because it could help them pick healthcare stocks. And he rose up from one fund to another, and then eventually found himself crossing this line from legal behavior to illegal behavior. He eventually pleaded guilty to a series of financial crimes and went to prison was sentenced to five years. Chips go on is is white, and when he went to prison, he found himself surrounded by people in many cases who became closest. Some of his closest friends were black and Latino, and he Had a new awareness of the advantages in his own life, and the ways in which other parts of the American population have not had those advantages, and he came out and became more involved in things like the Black lives matter movement to try to say, as he said. At a demonstration in town. I'm sorry because I didn't. I didn't realize exactly what I was doing and how I was living in ways it might be hurting other people. He looks back on his experience and can see when his moral center started to disintegrate. Yeah, I found that story really revealing Because In some ways a lot of us, I think have looked over the course of recent American history and have wondered how it is that we had a global financial crisis in which people in positions of great authority and power were making decisions that in the end cause so much harm. And in the eyes of the court. In some cases, these weren't crimes but certainly too many people they felt like abuses of trust and authority. It's not hard when you read the Greenwich chapters. To see how the vision for our common good has eroded. The pursuit of wealth at the expense of almost everything. Definitely the common good. How did you see that happening in Chicago and West Virginia? One of the things that I noticed in Chicago is that you get this profound difference. In the experience of being a Chicago and today and it depends largely on where you live the zip code you live in. And of course, where you come from in racial terms and class terms. And the more pronounced, those gaps become, the more difficult almost impossible. It has become to have a single coherent Political Commons and today, West Virginia. More broadly, is a place in which I think people feel very acutely this sense of attention between being proud of the place and wanting to be proud of it, and also being frustrated and resentful of a broader economic and political system that Doesn't feel to them as if it has pulled them along with it. And, of course, it's hard impossible even to write a book about the last 20 years without acknowledging The wars that America has engaged in. And you do that in this very intimate way by telling the story of one particular veteran. Yeah, harrowing story, And, frankly, it's one that could be Recognisable to people in many places in this country. There was a young man named Sidney Mueller, who was a Marine from Clarksburg, West Virginia. He had fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, particularly in a bloody area of Afghanistan, known as sanguine. It was so bloody that more Marines died there than anywhere else in the years after 9 11 and in fact, the secretary of defense had flown over at one point quite unusually and said to the Marines who were there. You've made a great sacrifice. And if there's anything we can ever do to help you please let me know. And Sydney Mueller came back to Clarksburg and unraveled. He became addicted to drugs. He was part of the opioid epidemic and eventually committed a terrible crime. He killed four people. Two of whom were delivering the newspaper that I used to work for. It was in the early morning hours, and he was in a kind of drug and alcohol fueled rage and I talked to him in prison. I've talked, of course to the victims, families and I come away with this very distinct impression that that story which looms so large in The experience of one town. Is almost lost in the larger conversation that we have in this country about the effects of the war, but the effects of the war are felt so deeply in places like this. You write about how the polarization of our politics as it's just so cute right now feeding enough rhetorical red meat to the base to get those people to turn out right? The center is no longer the objective. And that becomes easier to do when Americans disagree. Not just on policies but on the facts themselves. Yeah, So is the notion of a common good. I mean, is that still an American value? Or is it just let's do good by our own and forget everybody else. It is, in fact, something that we care about and are capable of re fashioning and one of the very clear things that comes through as you go through the history of our Political thinking and sensibilities and these instincts towards tribalism. And then these moments of tacking back towards a more collective ethic. Is that actually this thing this American political culture? Has this capacity for self correction, and in some ways, you know, I started this book, Rachel thinking that I was writing about the divisions in American life. And what I actually concluded was not some Sort of blandly cheerful thing that we're all United were clearly not. But what I came to recognize was the way in which we are impacting one another all the time to a degree. We don't fully recognized, but we have to come to terms with that.

Doing that was a little bit not so much accepted. But you're saying in greenwich village. He was exactly the opposite that the man the gay men could walk down the street hand in hand to be okay but the women were not really accepted on that level dot point. I don't think it's about acceptance. I think it's about safety. I mean gay. Men have always had public encounters in a way that gay women have not I mean there's not like cruising parks for gay women for example would they because while partly because there is a real danger for women in patriarchal society in our daily existence. And if you're a gay woman. The dangerous doubled So i i think it comes from a very real fear of violence and you know there's definitely many stories of hate crimes against men in that era but somehow the men felt safer at least in certain places in new york and at least according to many of my sources women still only felt safe or safer inside the actual bar and i would say that that's in many ways still the truth. I mean you know. There's some sort of spilling out into the street fighter more public events. But you know were always going to be more at risk than Men who are at least have some perception of being able to defend themselves. Even if that's not actually the case. So i had never thought about it on that level. I just always assumed that it was just that gay men. Typically were more obviously sexually motivated and women were not so much that women were more Intellectual or emotional connections. They wanted to meet somebody who is a soul mate and most guys that i knew especially going back into the seventies and eighties..

Raiders make surprise pick in latest Mel Kiper Jr. mock draft
"Mock draft three point. Oh is available on. Espn plus right. Now and here. We go no surprise at the top. Trevor lawrence has been there and we'll be there for the moment and started to the moment. That pig is made. He's going jacksonville. And that's not going to change at number. Two mel projects the jets to stay put and select quarterback zach wilson who would be the team's highest drafted quarterback since they took joe nemeth thousand nine hundred sixty five at number three. We have a trade that panthers would move up from number eight to select justin fields from ohio state carolina getting its quarterback of the future miami. Picking up more prime picks. And the falcons make it four for four to begin the draft selecting their quarterback of the future trae lanes. Should it go this way. It would be the first time ever that quarterbacks go with each of the first four picks in the draft. We take a look at the rest of mel's top ten. After the four consecutive quarterbacks we see some other names you will get to know. Kyle pitch superstar tight end. More pass catchers jamarcus devante smith jail waddell notably absent on this screen. Max jones the fifth quarterback in this first round the star from alabama who mel projects. Going number fifteen to the new england patriots and let's start there because mel we spoke about this the last time you broke this down for us. You had max jones going considerably higher namely number eight overall. Why do you see this drop. Greenwich carolina eight with matt rule had max jones at the senior bowl practices where he was exceptional right. So you figure carolina's stuck at eight. They would look at mack. Jones new england and fifteen is built. Bellichik nick sabin connection and obviously looking at a quarterback to get back to. Maybe the tom brady days. Okay get your that type of quarterback which is what mack jones is his style and the way he goes about his business as a pocket passer so once carolina in my mach three point. Zero was moving up to get justin field. Mack jones next opportunity to come off. The board for me would be new england at fifteen.

"That's a lovely song from The new album, I'd rather lead a band featuring Loudon, Wainwright and Vince Giordano and his band the Nighthawks. I want to end with one more song, and I want to ask you to perform it for us. It's a song by frank less. Er called more. I cannot wish you that's from one of my favorite shows, Guys and dolls. And it was hardly my favorite song from the show. But I really love the way you do it. It just feels very Very meaningful to me. Can you talk about why you chose this? And what the song means to you? Well, this goes back to the thing we were talking about earlier. I was mentioning my father's record collection. Guys and dolls was in the collection, and I listened to it as a kid. And, interestingly enough, at least it's interesting to me is that When I started my career in 1969 Guy called Milton Kramer saw me playing in a little folk club in Greenwich Village called the Gaslight. And he invited me up to talk to him about a publishing deal. And he was working for Frank Music, which was Frank Lessers publishing companies. So all the songs that were on my first couple of albums were published by by that company. I never got to meet Frank Lesser at that point. He was sick and dying of lung cancer in the hospital. But Frank Lester was one of the greats. And, you know, he wrote the music and the words So you know, he did it all. Many roads, so many different kinds of shows. I mean, there's guys and dolls, that's all kind of, you know, streetwise talk. And then he wrote, um, basically an operetta. All right. Most happy like an opera. The most happy fella? Yeah, which is so different, Both mean on melodically and lyrically. So s so I'm gonna ask you to close by playing the frank. Lesser song more. I cannot wish you from guys and dolls and the song is on the album. But this is Performance in the studio that they're doing just for us, and we'll hear Loudon on vocals, and he brought in David Men's field to play guitar on this And we'll hear Vince Giordano. Not on too, but this time but on base Thank you both. So much for your generosity in doing this for us and playing for us and going to the studio socially distanced in separate rooms and for being here to talk with us, and thank you for the wonderful album. Well, thanks. Great talking to you, Terry. Thanks. So keep up the great work, Terry. Wow, 23..
