Federal Reserve likely to skip interest rate hike at next meeting in June, officials signal
"Federal Reserve officials are sending out stronger signals they may forgo an interest rate increase at the Central Bank's next meeting. I'm Ben Thomas with the latest. Three leading fed officials have expressed support for the idea of skipping a rate hike in June, fed governor Phillip Jefferson says that would give policymakers time to see more data. President Biden has nominated Jeff sent to be the fed's vice chair, putting him close to the center of fed policy making, the comments come despite a slew of tough talk from other fed policymakers and to disappointing inflation report last week, and those suggesting a pause also indicate hikes could resume later this year. The fed has implemented ten straight hikes pushing its benchmark interest rate to about 5.1%, the highest in 16 years. Ben Thomas, Washington

Butler, Jokic lead Heat, Nuggets into a NBA Finals after unconventional paths
"This is the first time the nuggets have ever played in the NBA Finals. And the team's first time in a final series since the last year of the ABA in 1976, that means the dearth of experience for nuggets players this deep into a season. One Denver player with finals experience is kentavious Caldwell Pope, who was on the Lakers 2020 title team. Just trying to keep him calm knowing that and the first couple of possessions are going to be a lot even for myself, you know, I'm feeling anxious right now I'd even get out there.

US safety agency to require automatic emergency braking on new vehicles and set tougher standards
"The national highway traffic safety administration wants to require all new passenger cars and light trucks include potentially lifesaving automatic emergency braking and meet stricter safety standards within three years. This is another step toward regulating electronic systems responsible for what drivers usually do on their own. Nets a chief council and Carlson says they want breaks to be effective at much higher speeds. We're also including what we call full collision avoidance. That means that a vehicle has to stop without touching another vehicle in front of it. The systems would allow vehicles to fully avoid other vehicles at up to 50 mph if a driver doesn't react. With this proposal, we could change a high speed crash from a deadly one to a lower speed crash with minor injuries or just property damage. Nietzsche says 90% of new passenger vehicles already include the braking technology. Ed Donahue, Washington.

Bharat Ramamurti Exposes Biden's Agenda in New Debt Ceiling Plan
"It's really unforgivable. Jim, let's do this now. Cue up for me if you would. Cut Hey, it. here's how I know how bad this deal is. Here's Biden economic advisor, Bharat Ramamurti. He's on CNN, Biden's economic advisor. He's on CNN telling everyone, oh, this thing is great, man. This deal is awesome. Basically locks in the Biden agenda. Oh, really? You think that's going to be a good deal for you? Here, listen to yourself. I want to emphasize that it accomplishes three main things. Number one, it takes the possibility of a default off the table, which means we avoid an almost certain recession because of a first ever debt default. Number two, it protects all of the key pieces of legislation that the president signed into law in the last two years. New investments in clean energy, new investments in semiconductor manufacturing, new infrastructure investments that are being seen across the country. And third of all, it protects Social Security, protects Medicare, protects Medicaid, all these important programs that Americans rely on. We think it's a good, fair to the president's desk. Locks in that Biden agenda, man. This is the new deal, not the original deal we already passed. If you're scratching your head in disbelief that what I'm telling you is true, look it up yourself. We passed already a deficit ceiling hike bill called Limit, Save, Grow. That was far more effective,

"Okay. Okay. Okay. Dan, you have ADHD. I know it's a problem. I get it. I know. I want you to listen to Comey's clip here, it was this pseudo fake apology. And then when asked at the end, he's like, Oh yeah, but I don't really think the FBI liked anything wrong. This is an agency full of like, integrity and fidelity and bravery. They were just caught making up and completely fabricating a case to spy on the listen to this. Check this out as for the Durham report, 300 pages, four years investigating the investigators. One of the things that did come out of it was that procedures, regular FBI procedures were ignored, that steps were missed along the way in this investigation. In fact, director Ray said when the report came out, yeah, we acknowledge that a couple of ago, years and we've changed all that, those changes are already in place. Do you acknowledge perhaps that some mistakes were made along the way? Oh, definitely. And they were found four years ago by the inspector general. So there's nothing new in this new document. What were some of those mistakes from your point of view? Oh, that the FBI didn't communicate clearly the status of certain sources. They double checked certain information before putting it in a court application for a foreign intelligence wiretap and a bunch of others. And so do you believe now as these, some of these politicians call for defunding of the FBI, that that has been corrected and that now the procedures are in place to avoid those kinds of mistakes in the future? I think so. But in complex investigations, there's always going to mistakes. be It doesn't mean the FBI is incompetent, honest, and independent. So director with some distance now from from your time there with that investigation and everything that came into that 2016 election. Are there things that you wish you had done differently?

How and when to remove children from their homes? A federal lawsuit raises thorny questions
"A former Massachusetts family is hoping that a lawsuit will set a precedent for state child welfare agencies that want to remove children from their homes. Sarah Perkins says when she lived in Waltham Massachusetts last year, she took her three month old to a hospital emergency room for a high fever. She says when x-rays were done, doctors found a rib fracture and days later. We heard a knock at the door and it was armed police officers with several people from the department of children and families there to take our kids. Perkins says her son likely sustained the injury weeks earlier when her mother removed the baby from a car seat, he slipped and her mom caught him by grabbing one of his arms, still Perkins says it took her and her partner three months in about $50,000 in attorney's fees to have parental custody fully restored. Perkins and her partner are plaintiffs and a lawsuit alleging constitutional violations, including deprivation of parental rights without due process. I'm Donna water

Debt limit deal heads to vote in full House while McCarthy scrambles for GOP approval
"The debt ceiling and budget deal worked out between House speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Biden has advanced to the full House, where a vote is expected Wednesday. I'm Ben Thomas with a look at its progress. The House rules committee voted 7 to 6 to advance the bill, chairman Tom Cole, an Oklahoma Republican calling it a product of compromise. And reflects the realities of a divided government. We shouldn't allow that to overshadow what this bill accomplishes. It would restrict spending for the next two years while also suspending the nation's debt limit during that time, and the nonpartisan congressional budget office says it reduces deficits by $1.5 trillion over the decade, but South Carolina Republican Ralph Norman also a member of the freedom caucus was disappointed. We had a real bill that was going to make a difference. We did in the original bill. This being watered down is completely takes the teeth out of it. And I see why the Democrats vote for it. I see it now. He and Texas congressman chip Roy, who earlier in the day, said not one Republican should vote for this deal. Join Democrats in opposing the bill's advance. Ranking Democrat Jim mcgovern of Massachusetts accusing the GOP of weaponizing the debt ceiling, saying it's a precedent that will forever haunt the nation.

Debt Ceiling Deal Gives Unlimited Debt Until 2025
"All right, friends, well, today, as I said, we are hopefully wrapping up or at least putting a big momentary pause on the macro story that has dominated markets for the past few months. Yes, a deal has been reached in the debt ceiling standoff with both President Joe Biden and Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy making major concessions in order to move the matter forward. The deal on the table would suspend the debt ceiling entirely until the 1st of January 2025. Presumably this puts off the next dispute over federal borrowing until the middle of that year and uncapping the debt limit in the interim. The core of the argument is a two -year cap on federal spending, although each side is presenting the story slightly differently. The White House claims the spending cap would reduce spending by around $1 trillion over while the GOP argue that spending cuts are twice that level. New York Times analysis puts the spending reduction at around $55 billion next year and another $81 billion the following year. So let's talk about what's actually in the deal. The set of tradeoffs in the deal have caused outrage among numerous groups of ideologically aligned lawmakers and special interest groups on both sides of the aisle to the point where there are few truly happy with the compromise. Now that of course might mean in America's polarized politics that it's actually a good compromise deal. IRS funding has been cut, with $20 billion of the $80 billion in additional funding to bolster the tax department now being repurposed to fund discretionary government programs. And what's worth noting here is that early in the negotiations, this IRS funding was a red line for the president. You will no doubt remember when he said that he would not accept any deal that benefited quote wealthy tax cheats and crypto traders. Another aspect of the deal was that work requirements for food stamps recipients will be expanded. However, the cohort of people this will affect appears to be small. Only impacting recipients aged 50 to 54 while exempting veterans, the homeless and people who grew up in foster care. However, negligible the effect on the budget, the expansion of work requirements within the benefits program was an important symbolic policy for hardline conservatives. And small as the concession might seem, there are still many on the left who are very, very against

"You have bad luck. It's because you haven't done the work to believe in yourself and your own abilities. Really think about that. Okay. So this next point here is I got this quote from my girlfriend Jada. She's the best. And she actually wrote it down for me and I have it on my keyboard at work. So I always look at it when I'm writing a script or whatever I'm doing. And it's a constant reminder to keep myself going. And that quote is the best way to predict your future is to create it. I absolutely love that quote. And so what do I mean by created? I mean, manifest what you want. Like your dreams will only ever be dreams. If they only exist in your head, you need to write that down. You need to make it real. I love that story with Jim Carrey. When Jim Carrey wrote himself a check for $1 million. He made it real, even though he couldn't go cash it in and get a $1 million by writing it down. He set that intention. He manifested his reality. He made it real. And guess what? And not too long after that, Jim Carrey is who we know today. So take a page out of his book, and if you have big dreams, if you have big ideas, if you want to make it, write it down, make it happen, and at least you can see it on paper you make it physical, it enters the physical realm and no longer just exists in your own head. So when you do that, that's when you have to start prioritizing your goals. And when you prioritize your goals and you prioritize your time, like listen, when I was studying in crypto, let me tell you a little story about myself. I broke my left arm racing motocross. And I broke it in half, I have a rod in my left arm that will be there when I die. And by the time my fingers started working again, COVID happened. And that was the amount of time I spent studying crypto day in and day out. And when I mean studying crypto, I mean, I wrote down every I planned every minute of every day exactly what I was going to do. I set my goal, I figured out the time I need to study and I did it. And I stuck to it every day. Not only did I create my goal and make it real and manifest it, but I was also disciplined enough to follow through with the goal I wanted to achieve. And that is how I was able to get to where I am today because I made it real. And this brings us to point number 5. Probably the most important point besides point number one and point number 5 is to chase your dreams. Listen, the clock is ticking, so you have to live with complete abandon. If you're going after whatever it is you're going after, don't make excuses. Make it happen. Give it your 100%. Because if you don't do that, you're not going to make it. It's as simple as that. I don't want to be rude. I don't want to be that guy, but I'm saying that you have to give it your all if you want to make it in crypto. And you know, when I first got into crypto, you know, probably 2016, 2017, ideally dallied around. I did this. I did that, but I wasn't actually trying. I wasn't actually putting in the work and learning. It took a lot of me breaking my arm in like kind of being put in a pressure situation for me to realize what I had to do to make this real. And here we are. You know, Bitcoin Miami. And then, you know, it is possible. If I can make it, you can make it. But if you want to make it, you have to chase your dreams.

"His mental health and bipolar diagnosis is way too long to get into for one episode of a podcast. But shit really hit the fan when Ye was reinstated on Twitter by Musk around November 3rd, once Musk's Twitter acquisition went through, and he became even more vocally anti semitic and verbally violent and threatening going so far as to go on Alex Jones show and claim that he, quote, loves Nazis and quote likes Hitler, these are direct quotes to which Alex Jones, the Alex Jones, had to disagree with him and give him outs that he did not take. So hard you have to screw up to get Alex Jones to disagree with you. This is the same Alex Jones that filed for bankruptcy after being court ordered to pay families of the sandy hook victims around a $1 billion, I believe it was and damages for defamation. Anyway, I believe this, I mean, we're going to have to do it anyway because anyway, all of this ends up in yay being banned again by Musk on December 2nd for his truly egregious Twitter posts. People who are actual anti semites and not really a fans, like jumped on this yay fandom bandwagon to basically further push their nasty agendas. And I mean, from the outside, people perceive the entire thing as like Ye's fandom gone wild. And that was what felt really, really weird about all of it because the truth is that those people were not here for the glow in the dark tour. They were only there out of the opportunity to harass people, not because they were actual fans. Yeah. And that's a really sad but useful example of when fandoms can be co opted by people who actually have other agendas, which is really stressful and disappointing for true fans because they can be lumped into this entire category. They don't actually want to be in and their identities as complex fans and people, especially of problematic figures, become overly simplified as blind followers worthy of nothing but contempt. There are some of those, for sure. But a lot of people were and are actually complex fans that were grappling with their long-standing history of loving ease music, but disliking Ye's values and presence and his actions. And in my opinion, they should have grappled with it a long time ago because this is like a fence number 1500. But I do get it. Yeah.

"I think a lot of Musk's decision to take over Twitter, which went through an October 27th, was influenced by all of his bro fans being like, wow, bro, that'd be sick, man. You should totally do that dude. I love cars. Edge lords and saving the environment, but not really, 'cause I'm a bro. And if he wasn't as supported on his flight to fucking fancy, as he was, he may not have been so egged on to take over Twitter. Now, I can't prove he wouldn't have taken over Twitter if there was radio silence, but I feel like the support of his fans definitely coddled him in that decision making, which was obviously a bad one, because then he released that freaking Twitter poll asking whether he should step down and start her CEO. After over 17.5 million accounts voted, the yes is one, as 57.5%. And I mean, honestly, that margin was not even big enough in my opinion. Like Twitter had been a shit show since he came into power. But I deeply enjoyed that time when everyone was making parody verified accounts, that was really fun. I started making one, but I just missed the window on it.

Yes, start your engines and say more daisy. Well, I'm just a huge fan of the show and I have been since season one, and I think anybody who is either part of the fandom or knows of the fandom is probably heard quite a bit of how toxic that particular fandom can be. I mean, it's to the point where so many of the queens who have appeared on this show and there's so many versions of the show now, but like so many of them have had to speak out about it or call it out themselves, right? But then at the same time, it is this fandom that is around this thing that is queer and important to me in so many ways and the representation that we've seen on that show over the last many years is not something that you saw on that scale before. And so in some ways it's so, so, so special to me and it is still this group that is largely maligned in the world and then the fandom itself is like we both want to celebrate it. And when I go to live shows, it's really fun, but man, when you get online, particularly in places like Twitter or things like that or even read it, it can be so abusive towards fans doing it to each other, but also specifically to the queens.

I don't know that I've heard of this many people talking about buying tickets to go see Taylor Swift. But they faced so much trouble with glitches on the website not allowing them to secure tickets, their presale codes not working, allegations of dynamic pricing being used. And so many people buying tickets during the pre sale, the ticketmaster ended up canceling the general sale because it had oversold in the pre sales. It was a hot mess. That's bananas. I've truly have never seen anything like it, and I felt so bad. Swifties were bullied into buying low quality tickets for high quality prices, and were on the whole taken advantage of so hard.

"Daisy, because I know you. I know you must be in some fandoms. Oh yeah. So what are some fandoms that you're personally a part of? Sometimes I forget that I'm part of fandoms because I also am of an age where when I was growing up, you didn't really have names for them except for trekkies and the fact that they had a name was a sign of their low status in the world. The way that the nerds have won is genuinely just so different. But I mean, I definitely was a huge potterhead. Again, a little old for it, but I had one of my first jobs was teaching kids reading. So I got really passionate about being able to talk to little kids about those books. So it got me really invested. I'm a marvel fan. I'm actually more of a D.C. reader, but I am a marvel fan of the movies, and I've talked a lot about how much I love Captain America, specifically. When it comes to marvel, I would say that I prefer marvel's heroes, but D.C.'s villains. And so I think that that's where I sort of draw the line. But for me, in terms of fandoms that I'm a part of, there are plenty of die hard Jonas Brothers Stan. Still always until I die. Which had the horrible name of Jonas that no one ever used. It was a bad name. It's so bad. And then I'm in all the big ones too. I'm a Potter head. I'm in the beehive, Rihanna's navy, et cetera, et cetera. Whatever the name is for fans of Dev Patel and Don O'Brien, I'm in that. I'm definitely right there. Yep. I'm also a druid, which is one of my favorites. It's the underrated fandom for CW's Nancy Drew, which I think is also just expanded into the Nancy Drew cinematic universe and just general literature universe. I've seen that start to take over more space in the various places that I enjoy my fandom. But my drew is nowhere. I love it there. I think that's kind of what we're here to talk about today, which are phantoms that have made really, really big waves last year. I feel like fan ups are mostly underappreciated when we talk about society and when we take stock of how society has changed and all that stuff. But they make actual change. Last year alone, fandoms aided in winning elections, getting big corporations investigated, creating an entire fake film. They've been so many long-standing systems and institutions. Like the Oscars and YouTube, yes, the Oscars reference was a Zack Snyder reference when all of his fans got the flash to win the Oscars fan favorite moment because I'm still distraught. I'm still annoyed. I just never mind that in mind. Never mind. If I'm talking about my most influential fandoms of the past year, in my top three, I think, are the swifties. So we have to talk about Taylor Swift. Okay, do we, though? We do. We must. So if you were living under a rock last year, or if you have Taylor Swift blacklisted on your social media because you value your mental health, you might have missed all of the drama in the past November, when fans were attempting to buy tickets to swift's arrows tour, are U.S. 50 daisy? The thing that makes me feel least connected to humanity in general in the last few years is the popularity of both Taylor and Drake. I understood the election of 2016 more than I understand either of those, that's all I'm going to say.

"What if you're thinking, this isn't Rachel's voice, you'd be correct. Though Rachel is irreplaceable, I know have volunteered attribute very humbly to fill her shoes so she can take a much needed break, which I hope she's filling with good food, good company, and plenty of downtime on tumblr. But we all know I can't do this alone. So joining me today is the illustrious daisy hi daisy. We've chatted so many times, but never on mic before. I know. And now that we're here, I'm so tempted to just dump all of our plans and make an episode strictly about Broadway. Oh, maybe we should. Everything's coming up. Milhouse. We should, but unfortunately, today is not that day. Today, we're looking back on 2022 and taking stock of the absolute unhinged behavior that took place online. And there was a lot. There was so much wild. But we all know that there's nothing more online and unhinged than fans shipping their favorite fictional couples. Yes, and on that note, tumblr released a list of the top ships of 2022, and I want to see if you can figure out what some of them are by giving you the name, the combo, the ship name. Okay. And full disclosure. I saw the first two items on this list and screamed in agony and closed that tab with the quickness. So I'm terrified. I'm scared. I know I'm going to do horribly, and I'm also really, truly just astonished by people's poor taste, but I'm also not a punk. So let's go. Okay, here's one. Romance. Romance, romance. Okay. Is this Stranger Things? Yes it is. Okay, so one of them has to be Nancy. Yes. Who is the row? Okay, the problem is what I'm realizing in this moment is. I can not remember many of the characters of Stranger Things names. I feel like that's fair and part of the problem with some of the ships is because I, in general, will sometimes think of an actor name and yes, I can't even my hawk, but I don't remember what her ding ding ding. It's Robin. Yeah. Okay. There you go. Okay. I feel as though what I want is for Maya Hawke also Robin to be happy. And I feel as though that would not be with Nancy. That's a good point. I agree. I agree. I'm so I want to yell at everyone who thinks it would be.

"All right, so today is my birthday. And I don't know what the exact combination of reasons for it is. I'm sure it has to do with being on a school calendar, which begins at the beginning of September, and the end of summer in the business world, meaning really kind of a mentally new year. But whatever the case, my birthday is much more like new year's than new year's is to me. So I thought what would be fun is instead of doing a normal show, which would just be bleak in about why prices are going down, down, down, down, down again. I would do a show about the 38 things we learned over the last year, one for each of the 38 years I've lived. Like the breakdown this is going to cut from macro to crypto and back again. So let's dive in. Number one, the U.S. is not going to ban crypto. There was a lot of speculation about this coming into 2022. The president's executive order was one of the most highly anticipated U.S. crypto policy announcements we've ever seen. In particular, people were worried that there would be some rule making and actual policy that didn't go through a normal political process, but that wasn't what happened. The final document was much more benign than expected, even positive in some ways. Essentially, it asked government departments to prepare advisory documents to allow a whole of government approach to the industry. The overarching principle was to enable responsible innovation. So you can think what you want about Biden's approach to crypto, but the fact is the U.S. is not headed towards a ban. At the same time, number two, the U.S. is going to regulate crypto. We have definitely seen an increase in the regulatory discussion. There have been a huge number of congressional hearings over the winter. We've seen numerous bills, including lummis gillibrand, ongoing discussions of a stablecoin Bill, increasing frequency of Department of Justice and SEC prosecutions, tightening of KYC and AML requirements, and more. So while the U.S. might not be planning to ban crypto, it is definitely the beginning at least of the end of the era of regulatory confusion. Number three along that same theme, the SEC CFTC battle is going to come to a head and it's probably going to come down to Congress. Now, this has been the most clear interagency turf war as it relates to crypto. The SEC sees cryptocurrencies as mostly securities, and frankly, mostly unregulated securities offerings. And the CFTC sees them as something different, closer to a digital commodity. Both of these agencies have stepped up their advocacy efforts for themselves this year as well as their enforcement actions, but what's becoming clearer and clearer is that it's going to come down to Congress to make this decision. Ultimately, the decision of how to regulate and oversee a new growth area of the economy comes down to elected officials, not appointed officials. Number four, while those turf wars might be interesting to watch, stablecoin legislation is where legislation is most likely to start. Negotiations around a stablecoin Bill have been ongoing for months at this stage, but discussions are much older stemming from precursors like the stable act, and even discussions at congressional hearing levels after Facebook announced Libra. Currently it appears that stablecoin negotiations in Congress have hit a stalemate that is unlikely to be broken until after the midterms.

"Cool things but still be outbid by Citadel. Dowser still really looking for the thing that makes them click for normal people. And the constitution Dao was pretty close. The community raised like $40 million in a couple weeks and narrowly missed out on winning an auction for an original copy of the U.S. Constitution. There were ultimately foiled by Ken Griffin the CEO of Citadel who seemed armed with knowledge of the Dow's maximum bid because, of course, it was transparent. I still think that the fundamental use case of daos as a fundraising mechanism is where they get disruptive. But we're still waiting for that real breakout moment. Number 28, institutions haven't abandoned crypto in the down market. This is something that a lot of people anticipated that institutions would just turn heel and run as soon as things got bad. However, we've seen what I call a quiet post narrative institutionalization, where companies like BlackRock keep pushing forward with their integration of crypto assets. It seems pretty clear that they're gearing up for the next cycle, which means they assume there's going to be an X cycle. Number 29, Bitcoin remains somehow bipartisan. In an increasingly divided and partisan political landscape, Bitcoin and crypto policy seems to be one of the few topics where party lines aren't strictly going to determine how people think about things. The lummis gillibrand Bill is the hallmark of this effort, but even before that we saw good faith congressional hearings with reasonable questions and discussions from people from both parties. Number 30, the dollar can and will be weaponized. Although it's faded somewhat into the background of our discourse now, the sanctioning of the Central Bank of Russia's dollar reserves is one of the most brazen weaponization of the dollar in history. What was once a hypothetical consideration for antagonist states is now a reality that must be planned for. What the implications of this change will be are yet to be seen. Number 31, it's not just Bitcoin on the balance sheet, Elon takes back a lot of shit. This one I'm just laughing at because obviously Elon was one of the heroes and villains of the pandemic era Bitcoin rise. He was a hero in Tesla announced the big Bitcoin acquisition, and a villain just a couple months later when Tesla seemed to walk it back and said they no longer accept Bitcoin for teslas due to ESG concerns. Given now that Musk's very public bid for Twitter has also done the round tripper with them now fighting it out in court, it's an open question of whether this guy ever actually means anything that he says. Number 32, goblin town over supercycle. Crypto is a narrative driven industry and the most hopium film narrative of the last year was the supercycle. It was the idea that increased adoption would drive a feedback loop, causing more and more adoption. Obviously, this year we have learned very clearly again that prices can and will fall, and we have not lost down cycles as part of our markets as well. Instead, we have been living and depending on who you are, thriving in goblin town. Number 33, crypto games have promised better yet to find their shining example. One of the biggest narrative adjustments I think of the last year has been that around axie infinity. It went from the promise of fulfilling basic income needs to quote a type of digital sharecropping to quote Nick Carter. Now, I think that there's still a ton of opportunity in this space. There are more teams with gaming experience than ever building crypto based games, but as close as axes seem to have been to some, it really wasn't that breakout moment. Like I said, though, I still think there are going to be more shots taken in this space. Crypto Rus writes 80% of the developers I talked to at gamescom are building web three games. They're not announcing it publicly because the audience isn't ready yet. The NFT hate is still high. Gamers will eventually change their mind. Next bull run will be all about crypto gaming. Number 34, Bitcoin mining is extremely resilient. Right around this time last year, we were starting to see how the hash rate had migrated from China after the Bitcoin mining ban there. That was one example of resilience. Over the last year, we've also seen another version of resilience, which is that there is a growing and dynamic political dialog around Bitcoin mining that is not just about why it should be allowed because of free markets. But it's also for how it can become a part of supporting part of green energy goals. I believe that both the real world and the political resilience of Bitcoin mining will continue to drive positive outcomes for the Bitcoin space for years to come. Number 35, all markets are going through a great repricing. A decade of suppressed interest rates pushing the world into the everything bubble where valuations were mostly a function of liquidity and meme socks dominated the landscape has now come to an end. Analysts everywhere are scrambling to revise pricing models to reflect fundamentals in reality again across all asset classes. The question is, after inflation will this great repricing stick. Number 36 were at the beginning of a new cycle, not the end of a bear. The story of the markets over the last year has been the bullish dip buyers against the structurally bearish. Every time a fed statement could be taken as dovish markets ripped, it's becoming more clear that this isn't a brief bear market to cool off, this is the start of a longer and more difficult economic cycle than has been seen in a generation. Number 37, the merge is actually happening more than 6 years after Vitalik Buterin first laid out plans to transition Ethereum to proof of stake, the merge is finally happening sometime next week. The test sets have tested, the validators have validated the developers have developed all that is left is to do it live. There is much to be debated here, but also much to be excited about. Best of luck to everyone involved. Finally, 38, however, and sorry to end on oblique ish note, but we're going to need more than a merge narrative to come back. Despite the merge being the biggest crypto narrative since Bitcoin as an inflation hedge a couple years ago, I do not believe that the merge alone can overcome the dire macro outlook. We have a new economic world and an entirely new cycle that we're going to have to sort out. And crypto and Bitcoin are going to have to find their place within it. To end on a positive note, I have no doubt we can.

"Boy what a depressing loss. For Indianapolis here today and what a stunning victory. For the Jacksonville Jaguars, they finish off a horrible season. On his high note, as you can get. Last time we saw the Indianapolis Colts in a regular season game. They were blowing what was calculated as a 97% chance of making the playoffs. A loss that left a lot of people, including the team's owner Jim irsay in disbelief. You know, it was beyond bewilderment. I have experiences and losses in the last half century. You know, it's a really tough loss, but I've never been through anything like that. And since that hard to believe day back in January, the colts made some major changes. In particular, a quarterback. Some relationships aren't meant to last. The one between the colts and Carson Wentz is over after just one year. We have another quarterback all the booth. Ian Matt Ryan has been traded to the colts, everybody. Today, we're joined by Zach keefer from the athletic to look at how the cults have tried to put their devastating collapse behind them. And why they believe things could potentially be different in 2022. From wondery, I'm Tiffany oshinsky. It's Wednesday, August 31st, and this is the lead. Zack kefir, welcome back to the lead. Thanks for having me guys. I'm pumped to be back with you. Yeah, we're excited to have you. I mean, where are we talking with you right now? Well, thankfully, we are done in westfield, which is where the colts host training camp, but we were back. I am on my way right now to west at 6th street, the team facility, where they will wrap up final cuts this week and mercifully get to the regular season, which really gets rolling next week. It's so exciting. So you're in your car. Yes. This is where I live half of my life in August. Driving to some version of a football practice. So this is my office for the time being. Well, thank you for inviting us to your second home. We really appreciate it. Right, you'd be amazed at how many interviews I've done in here, so. Well, Zack, today we're taking a look at how the cults have responded to the massive disappointment of last season. So let's start this back in time. When the colts acquired Carson Wentz from the eagles in 2021, what did the franchise think they'd get from once at that time? Were the expectations? Yeah, so you got to go back to 2019 to really set the table and just to give you a quick summation. Andrew Luck retired three years ago and it left the team really scrambling that moved on to Jacoby Brissette. They said Philip Rivers, rivers unexpectedly retired, and they needed to fill the spot. And Frank Reich had pushed for the rivers trade. So he had a lot of sway in the building, and he had worked with Carson Wentz in Philadelphia, and this move doesn't get made without Frank Reich's blessing. You know, you move teams, you go through what Carson has gone through and an opportunity like this presents itself. You use it for what it is. It's time to hit the reset button, go back to the basics, the fundamentals, starting at the very beginning. And the thinking was they could get a franchise quarterback who had 5 or 6 years in him. At his peak still. Carson is still relatively young. And that was the swing. It was a swing note out because they gave up a first round pick in the third round pick to Philadelphia. The thinking being that Frank Reich could rehabilitate Carson Wentz, who was already showing signs of some serious regression in Philadelphia. Lesions snatches it out of the air. This just the court draw by Wentz. And they took a chance and they felt like they had a good roster to put around them. They had Jonathan Taylor, Michael Pittman. They had a defense that took the ball away a lot, but it was never a sure thing. And the way Carson Wentz plays football sort of let itself to this unknown entering last season. So with once at quarterback, this team got off to a rough start at one in four last season, but they eventually did get hot and had a 9 7 record heading into their final game on January 9th. Can you remind us of the stakes of their game against the Jaguars and what happened that day on the field in Jacksonville? It's really hard to put it into words if you're not a fan of the Indianapolis colds. If you haven't followed this team. For one, they haven't won in Jacksonville. And Jacksonville is easily the worst franchise in the league over the last 7 or 8 years. They haven't won in Jacksonville since 2014. Wow. So it's sort of this weird House of horrors for the colts and the

"As we go. Now, over the years, courts have and states have been pushing this envelope. And it's undue burden test, and it's been building. Up over the years in the spring court, we're seeing it more and more over the past 20 years. And during that time, you have seen the activism rise more and more into which there was not state solutions because they felt bound by roe V wade. They had to go through the court route. So you have the same prolong community for a number of years been looking for opportunities to challenge roe V wade. You saw that, you know, coming through the 90s with Casey. In those cases, it came forward. And then continuing on to make sure that the Supreme Court so in a presidential election, again, abortion conservatives would always come up and because the appointments of the Supreme Court to the Supreme Court by the president. The court now sits at 6 to three on the conservative scale with most will tell you that there are 5 votes now for if not overturning row all the way, at least curtailing it a great deal. And possibly as many as 6. Now, the reason I say 6 is they're using Roberts is the up and download here Roberts in these questioning recently in the case. Question the trimester system. I think he, if you look at his years prudence, it would be very hard for him to do a construct that is not grounded in some ways that he feels in law. This is the problem with Rowe. Rowe was not constructed out of the constitutional enumerated ride. It was constructed out of what was what we understood from Douglas justice Douglas as this Phnom or the shadow. In other words, that they existed in the edges of these known rights of speech and assembling in all these things that the other numerated even that we had some justice in the 9th actually talk about. So you're seeing a court now that is sharply divided. Ginsburg no longer on the court again Ginsburg had a great deal to do with the original cases that led up to the roe V case. Very strong advocate of the pro choice side is no longer on the court. You now have a 6 three court 5 of which pretty much assumed that you can sort of tell it in their questioning. Will at minimum vote to restrict a rollback row in many ways. There is a strong determination now that you could be seeing this Dobbs case actually roll it back completely because of the aspect dealing in viability and dealing and the, just this artificial construct of the trimester system that was put in and understood under this undue burden. Now, what the first, what are we talking about here? What is the dobb's case and why is it important? The Dobbs case is out of Mississippi and where they banned abortions after 15 weeks. And this was the determination of drawing the state legislature passed this meal. They have one abortion clinic in Mississippi. This was the Jackson health case. And so this in essence banned most abortions in the state after 15 weeks. This way outside of the viability Sanders that were set up, the undue burden standards. This is one that directly on his face attacks roe V wade. It's the interesting that the Mississippi case is the one being heard. There are other cases that you may have heard of in the last little bit out of Texas and other states that basically did a complete man on abortion or a much shorter time frame. 6 weeks, fetal pain, those kind of bills that were not taken up, the Mississippi case produced the hardest case, I think for the pro choice community to have to deal with and presents a case in which the conservatives could either take what happened in Mississippi, bring it back to that standard and still leave parts of roe V wade intact, but say that after certain amount of time you can restrict abortion. Interesting quote came out of the Dobbs oral arguments justice Roberts, who is again conservative, but they're not sure that if he's willing to go against precedent of roe enough to overturn it, made the case. He basically had a question, he said, is it 15 weeks enough? Don't you, after 15 weeks, is that not enough to decide if you want a child or not? Now, approach was argument is saying that's not the determination of a government or a justice. That is the determination of a female who is having this child. Again, a lot of angst back and forth in this case. So you have to understand it that it is one now that the very viability of roe, the very viability of the press and cases after that. From a pro choice perspective, very much in jeopardy from us on a prologue perspective for the first time, it is a chance as Scott Stewart, who's the attorney general in Mississippi, argued, he said that this riot was not grounded in the context of the text of the constitution, but it was an abstract concept. It was something that he was acknowledging the arguments that have been made by both liberal professors and conservatives that the row case was basically a made up case. It was a case made up on abstract principles that were not directly tied to the text and the language of the constitution and the constitutional rights there of. This is where he also brings it back says, let's take this back to where it should be..

If you listened many times to the conversations that go on around the court's picks and the president's picks on the court over the last 50 years, they have determined that roe V wade is the ultimate litmus test. It was not as bad necessarily in the 80s and 90s. It was still there, but it has grown tremendously in the last 25 years. Here's the interesting fact for you. The court takes up maybe, maybe Supreme Court. One to two cases every ten years in abortion. Maybe. It's so important, however, that people put all of their determination on who should be a Supreme Court Justice on how they actually interpret roe V wade and would they be willing to overturn it. I think in many ways, this has become a disservice to the court. I think it is something with the court that deals with all areas of our life, not just this one, which is so vitally important, which I believe they got wrong to start with, and I'm freely cite that in this podcast. I think when you deal with it, it is made the court impose its judicial activist will own a nation that was already dealing with this in the political realm. If you take this out away from the people, if you take this away and say that the court is going to imply this, especially in this instance, when you were actually moving forward, this is what is called. Now you can agree or disagree, but you can't disagree with the facts. This states and we name them all from 1967 home through 1970 other for continuing it, even up until the passage of the court decision roe V wade were adding to abortion rights in this country. Much of the Sagan of those in the pro life movement at the time, which was when nacy and which were really nonexistent because he'd never been a need to at this point, but as they were making progress in legislatures, they chose to take it and hopper speed it up into the courts, courts made it applicable to the country. Then you have the problem in which we face today in which everything surrounding the United States Supreme Court typically starts and ends with what is the justices view on abortion. And this is really where we come. Now, since roe V wade, there was a couple of cases that began to roll back some of roe V wade strengthen it in some ways also take away from it. Casey Planned Parenthood case, this was instituted what will be known as the undue burden test. And that is, if a state could number one state could begin to put restrictions on the access to abortions, whether that be through access to clinics, access to hospitals, access to ultrasounds. I mean, you start building on this progression, parental consent, all of this that would be weighed into this. The question was after Casey, Casey uphill the tenants of roe V wade, but then said that if anything was to affect any of these parts in any of this time of the pregnancy, so to speak, the viability issued these other things that it hadn't made the undue undue burden test. Was it an undue burden on the person, the female to enact her right to terminate a pregnancy? Now, over time, you also had court cases that ruled that the father right or was they had no rise in the choice of abortion and others. Now, before though, I do need to get back a twin decision that also opened this up a great deal on roe V wade with dovey Bolton dough was the same day. It doesn't get the attention that roe does, but it's very important because it defined health of a mother is including all aspects of health psychological mental physical spiritual all aspects. So that basically opens it up for anyone when you say that you can have an abortion based on mental health or anything else, this is where dough comes in and says, look, that's a valid reason to restrict it because that you then run up later in the Casey case, the Casey Planned Parenthood case has to undo burn and how does that affect how someone would get an abortion now when you understand that for those this becomes a semantics exercise on how you actually define life of a mother? Is it health of a mother or life of a mother? Those are two distinctions. Dough made it very clear that health of a mother, it would include anything. Even if they just basically were depressed and wanted to get an abortion, that was a valid grounds of health of a mother. Life of a mother being a different story. So I needed to go back and pick that piece up.

"70. And this is coming in a sense of what we see as the courts agreeing with this, but the state legislature's dealing with it in their own way and their own sites. And I want to emphasize why this is important because it gives you a hint of what could be happening in the future, but also why I believe that the roe V wade decision one of the worst decided constitutional cases that we've ever seen decided both liberals and conservative jurists and scholars have said this forever. Own the roe V case because it actually was a judicial solution to a problem that was beginning to be handled at the state level. And no matter what side you fell on, it was beginning to be addressed at these levels. And the controversy was real. 1971, USB Butch, virtue TCH, actually D.C., Washington D.C. allowed abortions and this was hailed by the courts in that. So you're starting to see the courts actually running on this as well. Now, that brings us to 1973 on the Pinocchio case of the ending case of roe V wade and also dovey Bolton. Now both of these are together, the roe V wade emphasized in what became of the trimester selection of when a state can do anything, you know, the first trimester they can do nothing master, only maternal, if you dealt with internal health, third trimester, they could ban those. But this was the interesting position of roe V wade that built on a previous case. Now, again, liberal activists Proto us pro abortion activists had been fighting in these states, you know, state to state to make it legal or to show it to be legal. And certain stages to get an abortion and he says, we already saw this happening. This was not a new occurrence. It was a discussion, but it was being played out in the proper federalist doctrine if you would of the of our country. And that is each state deciding for themselves what their value of life was and how they determine the def abortion was going to be legal or not legal. But that one going fast enough. So jurists such as John lawyers such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg and many others began to push cases testing the limits of these abortion laws and finding a new and frankly creative doctrine under which to find the basis for approving of abortion in roe V wade was the I guess if you want to say from their perspective of getting judicial activism into this was their crowning achievement. Now, why is this important? I'm a believer that if it had continued through the states that you would have had a patchwork of laws throughout the country that this would be a state issue, this would be an issue that would be very real for those of us on the pro life side, we would want to remove it from any state in which it was for the pro choice. There would be wanting to expand it to wherever they could. And this would be where it would be followed. It would be fought in the elections of the legislatures in these states to taking the feeling of the public in which they represent and implying them into the states of which they govern. By taking this out, it was not going fast enough. And if you read some history about this, you will say that the activists were saying, you know, in essence, this was not going fast enough, we need to challenge this in court and get this tournament as a right for a woman to have the right to an abortion. Now, a case that was the forerunner of roe V wade actually was the one that set the parameters for this right of privacy spoken of in the roe V wade case. Now it's been used in other cases as well. I issue of ride a privacy, but for this one, in particular, it goes on bills on what justice Douglas called and signing the Bill of Rights and the number of bills that's Phnom or shadows is what penumbra is actually in the shadows. In other words, this is the ride, but that shadow of that right gives rise to these other enumerated rights that would give rise to a what would be known as a right of privacy. And it would be included to include a woman's right to choose to have an abortion. And this is how the whole case developed. So it's really understanding why you need to understand that a case out of Connecticut, the griswold case was about contraception. Now think about this for a second. How they were going to enforce this case was always one that was always, you know, presented some interesting arguments to those of us in law school, but griswold case was about contraception and the states banning of the use of contraception. Out of that case, they developed the right of privacy that you would have in your home to use contraception and this is where this whole case sprung from. Out of this became the writer privacy out of that became then the decision in roe V wade, which using the rider privacy to have a right that that rod a prophecy extended to health decisions that rotten to privacy extended them to a woman being able to choose to terminate a pregnancy. Now, the reason this is important and the reason this was such a decision that his calls every court justice of the Supreme Court now in their confirmation hearings to have to answer their question on their determination of roe V wade will they uphold it? Will they not uphold it and we've seen that a lot here in the recent weeks and months onto the end of the Trump administration and under the Biden administration and under the Obama administration, I mean, it has become the most dominant question many times in these judicial confirmation hearings is the determination of wild there. What is your judicial philosophy in concerning.

"Time. I mean, for when you look at your excited about what God, you believe God had given you as your first child. And we were struggling with this and didn't know what was happening, but we did know one thing that no matter what it was, this was God's plan and we were going to have a very special child. During this time, Lisa went back to school, she was teaching school in one of the teachers who was teaching with her, came up and was, you know, in her best to try and comfortly, I guess, was saying that, you know, Lisa, you got choices to make. And of course, we were in the process. They end up choosing new doctors, a new hospital to have Jordan because we had to be closer to a pediatric ICU unit, and so we were running a lot of hidden Jordans and laser said yes. We're making these decisions and we got to go down to Atlanta and find out she's a no, no, no. She said, you got choices, but you don't have to do this. And then finally, it clicked in with what Lisa was saying. To Lisa what she was saying, and that was, is you don't have to go through with this pregnancy. You don't have to have your child. And Lisa looked at her and said, you're talking about my child. We're going to have our child. And about 6 weeks later, Jordan was born. She had a lot of issues. The first few years, but God saves you through it. Life is precious. It was his to give. It was not for us to take. And I could not imagine a moment without Jordan in our life. Has it been easy? No, is it easy for her? No, does it break my heart to watch some of the things in life that she has to go through that's not normal. Yes. But also the gift of life that God gives is so important. So from a perspective that is personal and I share this, this is why abortion has become such the flashpoint that it is. It's something that's not policy wise. There's something that is very visual on how you look at life. So as we start this conversation about abortion, I bring this up because this is going to become a very much of an election year issue. I'm predicting it now. It's been very quiet. You don't hear a lot of people talking about it, but I wanted to hear on the podcast. I wanted to get ahead of this a little bit because when this decision is dropped in the end of June, it's going to cause a lot of stir on both sides of this debate, whether you're pro abortion or your pro life, this is, this is going to cause a lot of start depending on how they come out with this. So in this, it's also going to end is just like everything else, just like inflation, just like war, just like the things that we talk about the other day. And the election episode, this is going to affect how campaigns operate. This is going to affect how campaigns deal with turnout on the right and on the left and it could be a determinant factor in some of these closer races. So I wanted to give you just sort of a history. Many of you know abortion from seeing it on TV. You hear about it. You've talked about it. If you go to church, you've heard about it, if you're pro choice, you want to keep that, the woman's right to choose, the whole argument. But let's just sort of go backwards. We didn't always have a constitutional right as if you would through the roe V wade decision. Right to abortion. And as we look at this, there's nothing more polarizing than abortion. And the interesting part about the Dodd K Dobbs case here is that the Dobbs case is going to possibly put it back to where it was almost 50 years ago. Plus and I think that's going to be an interesting for federalism in this country. You may say, well, what does that mean? If they overturn roe, then there's no abortions, no. That's not true. In fact, it's simply sends it back to the states. And that's where the states were working in many states, some were approving it some were not, and that was sort of the basis of where you were looking. So historically, let's look at this. In the 1967, the first night was Colorado to actually approve or liberalize this abortion laws and it would approve abortion for physical disabilities of the child and the mother right incest in these things. California, North Carolina, Oregon followed suit very quickly. This in 1967. So you can see that from what was a man in no abortions in the United States being performed. You're starting to see the states individually start taking on this issue and then liberal would be known back then as liberalizing their abortion laws to allow for abortion. Now, in 1970, New York abortion on demand up until 24 weeks became signed into law, Rockefeller signed this into law. Alaska, Hawaii, Washington state, followed suit. So as you can see here, we're building up 67,.
