A highlight from LGM Podcast: Pennant Races Wind Down
"Well, let's go. Here you have your money. You want... $10 ,000? Yes, the services, hamburgers, salads, pasta, lamb, and when you buy a house, you're suspended from your car, and you have work to do. And that's all you need to do to have a DUI. Well, and what do you want? A propane? Don't pay the price of your money, you can't sell it. Don't pay the price of your money, you can't sell it. Also, all of the marketing possibilities with your home team. Hello, and welcome to the Lawyers, Guns, and Money podcast. This is Eric Loomis, and I'm here with Rob Farley and Scott Lemieux to discuss the general state of sports right now, particularly baseball, probably a little bit of football. Gentlemen, how are you all doing? Very well. There's also an obscure politically relevant hockey topic I could bring up too. We could always talk hockey around here, which might be more of a monologue for you, but hey, that's... Hockey and racism. That's the game on ice. But it's been a lot since we talked about sports here. Right now, it's August 30th is when we're recording this, and baseball is reaching its pennant races, or playoff races I guess is more appropriate these days. They're very interesting this year. Particularly, I think we should start with the official or unofficial perhaps team of LGM, which is our Seattle Mariners. So, what a run for the Mariners, and I was wondering what thoughts you guys had about what's going on here and maybe talk about the ALS generally. Well, as Eric and I, I don't know how many times I had this conversation earlier this summer, I was just brimming with confidence about the Mariners, particularly that offense. Every time Dylan Moore came up in a big spot, it was just great. No, I was... I was kind of on the fence. I know on our major league preview, Dave was pretty optimistic, and then I think the rest of us were like, consciously optimistic, but perhaps a little more skeptical, and I think I might have been the most skeptical. And then really for the first half of the year, the team was actually worse than even I had anticipated. Good pitching, but just really desultory offense. Particularly with Julio being a little off, and there's not just much else going on. The Mariners having their annual second base disaster, the curse of Sean Figgins, showing up in Colton Wong. What was his final slashline? It was genuinely horrific. Yeah, like I just... And one thing to see, Jesse Winkers also on his way out of the league. You know, so it ended up being kind of a wash no trade, but boy what a disaster it was. I mean, it was not a bad move. I mean, yeah, so he had a 241 on base, 227 slugging. And one year ago, he slugged 430, and the year before that, 447. I don't know what it is that happens when the something about the Mariners and second base are not mixed. And Adam Frazier was awful for us last year, has been a perfectly competent member of the Orioles this year. So I don't know what's going on there. But anyway, and it's weird that the team almost turned around when they released Wong, not saying he was the only problem there. But you know, and what's interesting is that the pitching staff has been excellent all year. And I think that the Mariners rotation has been top three in ERA all season. And I believe they're now first in the majors in the ERA. I may be wrong, but it's close, if not so. Really, really strong rotation led by Castillo. Scott's surveys always has good bowl pens. And one thing is that they were able to use their annual pump and dump, sort of creating a closure out of Paul Siewald and trading that for a couple of useful depth pieces that they really needed, even though they've had a little bit of problem in the back end. So yeah, it's surprising, obviously led by Rodriguez. But obviously, it's been really encouraging how they've played over the last couple of months. And it would be nice if they could win the series against the A's as the rubber match is ongoing as they speak. But yeah, it's been pretty exciting over the last month. And I'm looking forward to going back to the park. I mean, it's interesting. I think that when they traded Siewald, it was sort of like, well, what really is Dominic Canzone and Josh Rojas? I mean, they seem like a couple of marginal players and they actually played pretty well, both of them in Seattle. But I mean, it seemed like what they did ultimately was just give him, give service a lot more platoon options and a lot more mix and match stuff that he's been using at the back end of the lineup so that if it makes sense to go more or Matt Ford or Caballero, then that's fine. But Cade Marlowe has been a pretty good call up. And then Canzone and Rojas, I mean, that's a lot of options, each of which is functional to slightly more than functional in the right circumstance against the right pitchers. And I think that makes a lot of sense. And then, you know, Telenik will get, you know, should be back here for whatever that's going to really be given that he was, after that good start with sort of sliding back into his usual suckiness as the season went on. But they should have a lot of options in September. So I think it'll be, you know, I like the way the team sort of made moves mid -year to change its construction, even though, as you say, is Munoz really a reliable closer? Well, it's been a couple of times where it doesn't seem to such so. But, you know, but you certainly have to like where the team is in a three -way tie for the West with cratering a Rangers team and an Astros team that, of course, is going to remain competitive, but has its own flaws. Yeah, I mean, this is this is such a remarkably interesting division, right? I mean, and, you know, one of these teams is not going to go to the playoffs, right? I mean, we're operating in the assumption we're going to have a division winner. We're going to have, you know, one of the teams is probably going to be the wild card, but one of them is not going to go to the playoffs. Well, no, no, because there's three wild card teams now. Is it three wild card teams now? Yeah, so Toronto, I mean, you know, somebody's going to be out, but it could be, it could be the Blue Jays. Oh, okay. You see, I was this was a rules update that I was unaware of. But, yeah, the season ended today. Seattle, Texas, and Houston would all be in and the Blue Jays are actually three and a half games behind the Astros. So that's they're actually have work to do. Yeah, that's that's actually quite interesting in terms of the National League as well. But I think the more critical point about this particular division is that, you know, you have you have one of the worst rosters in the history of baseball in this division. And I would I would hazard that the Oakland A's are not the biggest train wreck in this division, right? I mean, I think that the the Angels, you know, are having one of these catastrophic seasons that even though they're not going to end up the worst team in this division because of the A's, you know, this is this is a sort of great train wreck of a team in terms of its wasted potential, catastrophic its complete use of two of the biggest stars, two of the most talented players, not just in Major League Baseball, but in baseball around the world.

A highlight from LGM Podcast: Talking Football with Rich Brooks
"The football isn't going to change it because the mighty dollar is doing it all. The greed and, you know, let's face it, players are getting paid, coaches are making exorbitant salaries that make no sense, really, that make no sense. This is the Lawyers, Guns and Money podcast. Hello and welcome to the Lawyers, Guns and Money podcast. My name is Rob Farley. Here with me is my colleague Eric Loomis. Eric and I have the tremendous honor to have as a guest on this Guns and Money podcast, Coach Rich Brooks. His biography is long, but it involves being the head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats. It involves being the head coach of the St. Louis Rams, and most notably for us, the head coach of our beloved Oregon Ducks. Sir, it is a tremendous honor to have you here with us this afternoon. It's a pleasure to be with you. I wanted to start just by asking, I know that you live back in Oregon, and I hope that your place is safe from the fires. We have had a lot of smoke. I have a son that lives up the McKenzie River about 25 miles, and his house burned down in the fires two years ago, and the fires are close to his house again, but the good news is he can't get to it because everything else is burned around it, but it's been pretty smoky, and the wind has changed, and it should be a good day for Oregon football on Saturday when they open, as long as the wind continues from the north or the west. Well, let's hope so, and you know, part of the reason that we wanted to talk to you is this is such a transformative moment in college football right now. I mean, you of course coached Oregon for 17 years. You also played at Oregon State, and the fate of those two schools in the current conference realignment has differed, and Oregon and Oregon State, after playing against each other for over a century, all of a sudden that may not happen anymore, and I'm wondering from your perspective, what your thoughts are about realignment and the ways in which it's affecting these two schools that mean so much to you? Well, you know, people don't remember, but when I went to play at Oregon State, graduated Nevada Union High School in Grass Valley, California in 1959, and played freshman football that year, and then varsity football 60 -61 -62, and had the pleasure of playing on a pretty good team with Terry Baker, who won the first Heisman Trophy west of the Mississippi, but in those days, Oregon State was independent. It was not part of the PAC -8 at that time. The league broke up over money.

A highlight from 1214. EU Beats U.S. To Bitcoin ETF SEC Delays Again
"All right so more action on ETFs and the only difference is is now that ETFs are being approved but they're being approved across the pond in the EU we'll break down all that for you guys today what this might mean to the US in terms of an ETF approval and hopefully going forward with Bitcoin and the modern era of finance we'll break all that down for you my name is Paul Baron welcome back and the Tech Path. All right so a couple of things I want to hit on today of course is the news Europe launches its first spot Bitcoin ETF I know that that's a little bit let me kind of zoom in on that from watchaguru I know that's a little bit misleading because there has been ETFs in the EU before this one is a little different I'll explain why there is so it's technically there is a new ETF out there so Jacobi Asset Management lists Europe's first Bitcoin ETF euro on next this of course is the difference let me kind of zoom in on a few things here they implemented a verifiable built -in renewable energy so it's a rec solution which allows institutional investors to access the benefits of Bitcoin also meeting the ESG goals which is a big deal in in the EU trades under the ticker Bitcoin custodial services are provided none other than by Fidelity and all of this is created in collaboration with digital asset platform called Zumo and the Zumo is gonna be interesting because we'll play into that they're a kind of a everything as a service type platform further into the release it's exciting see you're moving ahead of the u .s. opening up Bitcoin unlike other products in the European market which are debt instruments our funds own the underlying asset directly so that's kind of the biggest deal this is the first true ETF that is owning the the asset itself the underlying asset one -to -one so that's the the big point that they're trying to make the Kobe solution differs from carbon offsetting products by quantifying the electricity consumption attributable to Bitcoin in the ETF by purchasing equivalent wrecks and the standardized instrument for procuring clean power so again going back into those ESG requirements that are a big deal in the in the EU so as you look at this and you just wonder you know when will the United States start to actually get into the game EU obviously now scoring what is feels like a two to zero match if you're into soccer and that is with Mika's advancement and now here with a true spot it Bitcoin ETF so along with that and then you've got technology that's starting to play into this Zumo which is the company behind this latest update of Zumo's app is now available on the App Store and the Google Play Store you can trade doing fast transactions you can also do a full what they call infinite control your funds on the blockchain and then you can do some buying and selling over there in etherium and Bitcoin so this gets into how and what will be the next step here in the United States because obviously we already know that we are at the cusp of we hope at the cusp of the SEC actually approving one there's a lot of other things that are playing into this that I think are the political aspect and this is what I talk about a lot is that this has become so much more political than anything what I mean by that is by the SEC actually doing the approval of a Bitcoin spot ETF one thing that is happening is you've got things like this and that is Senator Lummis now filing an amicus brief supporting coin bases dismissal motion against the SEC this would be a big deal because if the SEC or if we get a dismissal on the Coinbase case it would be a pretty big loss for the SEC and already we've started to see this issue facing the SEC as a whole just with what's happening in the ripple case so I think that in the support of what's happening from the lawmaker side of things you can kind of see that the statements here says the constitutional empowers Congress not the SEC to legislate in such an area of profound economical political significance this to me gets into the point that is often under looked and I think that is the political power that is happening globally much like what happened with the EU on filing an ETF for Spock Bitcoin and I think this is now in the case of a lot of lawmakers who have said all right we've had enough we've got to be able to get moves and move forward on this further in this article says also also although the SEC seeks broad authority over crypto assets most legislative proposals in Congress would instead grant much of the authority to other agencies I'm satisfied the SEC seeks to circumvent the political process to commandeer that authority itself this is a senator talking about a government agency in the SEC of course met a lawman who's been on our show many times kind of breaks it down I'll show you his tweet right here it kind of goes into the the brief and what she's arguing let me zoom in on that Congress has not granted the SEC authority so that's number one defined defining the contours of crypto regulation in this country is a job for Congress not the SEC back to the point of where a bipartisan effort of lawmakers is really the goal here because the SEC has kind of taken the reins of what crypto has been about in terms of legislation by enforcement which has been the the biggest knock on the SEC over the past few years SEC's claim that virtually all crypto assets are securities exceeds the securities authority encroaches on Congress's lawmaking and contravenes the separation of power so again very much said and I think this is one thing we've talked about so many times here on the show the key is when is that next step when do we see a potential for this going forward I think the key with this is how many people are starting to support what's happening in the not only the but lawmakers also in support of Coinbase also other organizations out here so you've got crypto lobbyists urged now a court to also dismiss the case and you'll look in total here let me kind of zoom in on that you've got the blockchain Association the crypto council for innovation Chamber of Digital Commerce defy education founder Chamber of Progress consumer tax association and even firms like Andreessen Horowitz which obviously is a huge VC come organization that supports what's happening in blockchain further into this one says this is a no run -of -the -mill run -of -the -mill enforcement case through this case the SEC seeks primary influence over economic political and legal questions under active consideration by Congress and multiple agencies that is the real rub that I think is occurring and it's as I've said many times that this is such a political ploy right now I don't of trying to dominate the conversation and also the actions from a control factor I think it's either it's a controllable grab or there is a political you know substance behind this that's really driving what Gensler's decisions are pushing so a couple other points in here Loomis brief did note each of these bills recognizes that the crypto industry's not fit entirely within the existing securities law and transcends the current statutory powers of the SEC simply stating we know that there's a lot of things here in modern finance and modern you know blockchain technology that is really kind of going outside the ecosystem what how it meaning the investment contract concept of how securities are ruled and governed has changed so Congress is attuned to these important considerations and obviously they're trying to do something about that right now so we do know that all of that is happening right now and it's moving pretty fast now here's John Reed Sartre another attorney out there on and SEC especially securities law he talks a little bit further about this about the the partisanship around this so crypto regs have unfortunately become increasingly partisan at the SEC remember that right now the SEC the governor's or the commissioners at the SEC split pretty much down the red the middle right now a Democratic Republican crypto crackdown began under Republican appointed the SEC chair Clayton fierce and relentless crypto critic if we do see a Republican elected president likelihood is that we'd probably see a potential Republican lead as the Commission now that could be Hester Pierce a Republican all this does play into so it has become very partisan I would agree was was stark on this so it is something to watch for question is whether or not there will be anything of major substance happening between now and when that occurs meaning when we see lawmakers actually shift in that if we do see lawmakers shift in the administration here's a clip right here by Raul Powell kind of breaking down why all of this is happening listen in to this one what he had to say the problem is is US regulation is run by a bunch of baby boomers who only referenced the past like we have to figure out how to deal with AI we have we got a lot of really existentially important things that can't be just shoehorned into something from the 1930s because that's how a boomer wants it to be and other governments are doing it and the US is not whether it's the power of the people or just the politicians are so old now that they'll be replaced by younger people I hope Raul is right you know working in Capitol Hill with lobbyists in the past I've seen the birth of you know kind of this political and governmental heft that just sits in DC and I think crypto and blockchain in general is just like any other great technology moving forward AI will face this as well in terms of regulatory environments and what that might mean because really at the end of the day what we are talking about here is corruption corruption at the highest level we're talking about whose pockets are lined that's why this is slowing down it really is more about who wins and until there is a framework for the right politicians winning it the right way we may not see action and that's the biggest concern and obviously Raul is talking about that is that there's so many other countries that have already stepped into this and moving forward you have John Deaton saying though that there could be a major move here and this could also sway into the fact that we might get more pressure this and this is coming from our court system not from our politicians so be on the lookout today Friday for potential decision this was earlier this should hopefully give crypto even more momentum even though arbitrary capricious is a high and difficult standard mean I've always maintained the SEC will lose if someone fought back regarding a spot Bitcoin ETF he's talking about grayscale so Eric Balcones kind of jumps in very good possible possibility that we learn grayscale SEC outcome tomorrow this was just here end of yesterday we haven't heard it yet as a filming right now so likelihood is we may get an actual case win here and that would really put the SEC in a bad position it would put them in a bad position from a legal standpoint and actually start to put a lot more pressure on them and that's when it gets a little bit unusual because now we're talking about a court that is ruling on this so meaning it's ruling from a court of law as opposed to regulators who are trying to essentially create a pathway for this technology and all these kind of companies to exist so that's the biggest thing I think that's playing out I want to play another clip right here this of course is of Jay Clayton talking about the current status of not only crypto but also Bitcoin listen to what now remember Clayton former SEC chair Gensler's boss used to be and now he's taking a little different listen well look the SEC postponed the decision but they are they are seeking public comment and the landscape for Bitcoin and retail access to Bitcoin has definitely changed and let's just let's just look at where we are today I when I was SEC chair was very skeptical of the Bitcoin trading markets and and whether you believe Bitcoin is going to go to whatever or dry up and go away I think that's no longer the question you know you had Russ Benjamin he was talking about it's clearly a commodity it should be regulated like a commodity we have large retail participation around the globe and people want access to it now what do we have we have very credible financial institutions who have fiduciary duties duties of best interest to their customers who are saying we want to deliver this product and we can do so consistent with those obligations last thing all right so right there you can kind of see he has pivoted his position this is a guy who was a staunch critic of crypto changed completely and he did hit on all the markers there major financial institutions the blockchain itself Bitcoin as a whole not going away likelihood whether you want to treat it as a commodity which I think obviously they will the key here is is that it doesn't it's not really on regulators like the SEC to decide who wins and who loses the markets do that and I think that's the most important thing that he does hit on here on this so for but again that coming from Jay Clayton pretty interesting stuff for sure all right so Bitcoin ETF is now pushing a slice of crypto ETF trading volume which would be around 99 % this of course means simply that though the EU has launched an ETF a true spot ETF the real volume is going to come from the United States this is the big behemoth if you look here there's actually a chart that shows that North America accounts for ninety seven point seven percent of all crypto ETF trading volume if and when a spot ETF comes out in the US it will likely go to ninety nine point five percent so as interesting as the EU is that's why we probably didn't see much of a move on Bitcoin in general it really is all about the United States and I think that's what Raul was getting at is that there is so much power coming out of the United States in terms of investment capacity and what that might mean that the opportunity here is pretty significant so I just think it's one of those things that you have to just be aware of especially as we see both what's happening on the EU and also what's happening obviously here in the United States when it comes to ETF so one thing to be aware of for sure all right so just kind of supporting a little bit of the activity that's occurring right here here's the news on this eagerly awaited Jacobi Bitcoin ETF lukewarm reception on the debut and they're kind of hitting on the whole issue only four transactions this of course happened after its first listing you can kind of see it right here in the listings themselves transactions for so again this just reinforces the whole point that it everything of round bitcoins ETF future is going to set here in the United States it just is going to be the case I want to just a further why this is so important I want to go to this tweet right here and there's a clip I want to play from this but I want to go to the statement here a lot of Bitcoin ETFs have been filed but just black rock is the 800 pound gorilla truly the one why is black rock different it comes down to lobbying power and the connections with the SEC listen in to what he had to say let me play this one for you one of the major narratives driving the last cycle was the institutions are coming those institutions came in small part you know but that promise of the institutions arriving and really diving headfirst in the crypto never quite materialized so that's what's so interesting about our current period which you know we may be in a crypto winter we might be coming out of it but if there are signs that we're coming out of it it's exactly this this institutional investment so black rock for example is the largest asset manager in the world and they just filed a Bitcoin ETF with SEC a lot of Bitcoin ETFs have been filed in the past years but none from an asset manager as high profile and well connected in Washington as black rock as you can see the key here is how much you know power does black rock have well they have an immense amount of power now one thing that our team kind of mentioned on what we were doing this video is what happens if black rock gets an ETF or art gets an ETF and we just don't see any transaction I'm kind of interested in your thoughts do you think we'll see a massive inroad of people going into Bitcoin I believe we will mainly because of the power of the marketing that will come behind this it'll come from arc it'll come from galaxy it'll come from black rock Vanek you name it they're all gonna be competing pretty much at the same time meaning they're gonna spend a lot of money to get out there and educate people and get things going that's why I do think it's gonna pop Bitcoin as a whole for sure all right further on into this just to show you a market Bitcoin ETF approval could help power up the new crypto cycle this is coming in from Bernsten I would talked about him before he hits on a couple of points here leading global asset manager you know is big in Bitcoin spot ETFs probability of this approval has risen we've already talked about that ETF will benefit a strong brand marketing push that's back to my point is that all these financial advisors and all these groups are going to push very hard which is going to elevate the awareness around blockchain of crypto and especially Bitcoin as a whole so new capital is gonna power up the new cycle this will come in from fresh stable coin supply tokenized traditional assets native crypto infrastructure tokenization of ETFs etc all of that plays out and back to the clip that was we just played here by Sam just a second ago with the Forbes writer is you know he is right the last cycle was kind of deemed as this is going to be when institutions come in this is but Black Rock wasn't in the game nor was you know these 15 others that have started to move in that we did not have an ETF being proposed and most likely going to get approved it right on the heels I believe of what happens with Bitcoin none of that was occurring we didn't have regulation in play we didn't have the clarity in the market where we had to go through basically the Wars of FTX is the voyagers the Celsius is seeing what was all done wrong now we have a much more you know aware market we have a much more savvy investor and we have these major organizations starting to step in so I think it is in the right place right now of course we're recording this there's constant news always hitting our research team one of the things that has happened is this tweet right here and that is about Kunis talking about it looks like no grayscale decisions so this has been delayed meaning grayscale trust this is now going to Friday 11 a .m.

FTX Bankruptcy Judge Not Swayed by Letter From US Senators
"Wendy O is going to start us off today with an FTX bankruptcy update. What do you got when? Gosh, golly gee, you guys, this thing is going to be a topic conversation for a long time. Just in. Bipartisan group of U.S. senators calls for independent examiner to investigate FTX. And this bipartisan group is actually very interesting because it's comprised of senators, Elizabeth Warren, John hinkle looper, Tom tillis, and Cynthia Loomis, which I actually like her because she's kind of pro crypto. And shout out to hotel Jesus 'cause he also told me that many time you see anything bipartisan, it's not a good thing. You want them fighting and going at it. I don't know, that's what he said. But anyways, before U.S. senators sent a letter to the bankruptcy judge calling for independent examiner to be appointed to the case and they're urging the judge to support a motion to appoint an examiner to have full authority and resources to conduct an objective investigation of the activities that led to the collapse and they argue that the current adviser Sullivan and Cromwell advised FTX for years, leading up to its collapse and one of its partners even served as FTX general counsel, that seems like a conflict of interest to me, but just in the bankruptcy hearing today, Delaware judge John Dorsey called the letter inappropriate intervention in banking and proceedings which won't sway due to decisions. Jen, I need your opinion on this because it's kind of a heavy topic. And it's a lot to chat about. Yeah, so I read the story and I was like, oh yeah, I totally agree with the senators, and then I read the judges dance. I was like, yeah, I totally agree with the judge. So let's talk about Sullivan and Cromwell first. Assisting the current FTX leadership and identifying issues, the senators are saying that they're not a disinterested party because they've been working with FTX for a really long time and some of their partners have even served as general counsel for FTX. That really does sound like a conflict of interest. But at the end of the day, I think my opinion here is that the judge is right that this should all come out in court everyone should have a chance to respond to any of these matters and it seems like the court is compiling lots of different witnesses who can speak to or against this and it should all play out in court. It shouldn't be swayed by senators.

Cryptocurrency is a hot topic on Capitol Hill in part because it is so volatile, and there are some new efforts to regulate crypto, one bipartisan measure comes from democratic senator Kirsten gillibrand of New York and Republican senator Cynthia Loomis of Wyoming, joining me now to talk about all of this. Bloomberg's Alison versus Bill Allison, thank you for taking the time with me today. Thanks for having me. Now, I want to just go back to ten, 12 years ago when crypto first came on the scene, and the big attraction was that cryptocurrency wasn't regulated. You couldn't regulate it. It was the wild west. People really seemed to like that. What's changed? So I think what's changed is the fact that now crypto is growing and it's starting to become a real asset that people are investing in There are a lot more individuals that own cryptocurrency. There are a lot more companies propping up. So that's happening and then we're also seeing some instances where coins are failing. For example, there was a stablecoin. This is the type of asset that's supposed to be pegged to the U.S. dollar or other stable assets. It was called Tara USD and it actually collapsed recently. So those types of events are capturing the attention of regulators as well as the growth that we're seeing. Despite obviously the last couple of weeks where we've seen some declines in the market and cryptocurrency and stocks as well. I love it when you anticipate my next question because I wanted to ask about how cryptocurrency finally did catch the attention of lawmakers of Capitol Hill so that now they're taking it more seriously for a while these sort of treated it like funny money. You know, definitely I think the events of the last couple of weeks have caught their attention. Like I mentioned, we have this popular stable planned collapse, which definitely had a lot more lawmakers calling for regulation. We've also had some other instances where popular platforms have had to freeze withdrawals and other things that might hurt consumers. So lawmakers are definitely paying more attention. I think there is a lot of momentum, especially if you come to setting up guardrails for stablecoins for instance. So maybe we could see something at the end of the year. Obviously, the midterm elections? Pose some challenges there with timing. But I think definitely the beginning of next year, a lot of people are anticipating something to happen here. Now, Allison, we started this conversation talking about senators Kirsten gillibrand and Republican senator Cynthia Loomis, and how they've been working together on this legislation about cryptocurrency. And one part of this bill clarifies who would regulate cryptocurrency. I hadn't thought of that. What does it specify? So it would provide some guidelines of when a digital asset is regulated by the commodity futures trading commission, which currently mostly regulates derivatives, so this bill would say, actually, the CFTC also gets to regulate directly any digital assets that are commodities. The two senators specifically mentioned Bitcoin and ether. And that's very important to note because these are the two largest cryptocurrencies that we have out there. They make up more than half of the global market cap for all of crypto. So that's a big responsibility. And then on the flip side, we also still have a role here for the Securities and Exchange Commission. They would be able to regulate digital assets that are securities. So essentially ones that are issued to the public to note and fundraising attempts and then with the expectation that there will be profits on the back end. And Alison, why is it these two senators? Why are they so interested in cryptocurrency? So, you know, these two senators obviously Cynthia lummis is interesting. She started investing in Bitcoin herself in 2013. So she's been deeply involved in this space even before it was super popular. She also comes from a state Wyoming that has been very crypto friendly. They've passed a series of laws that are friendly to the industry. They also have these special charters that you can get as kind of a crypto bank. A financial institution that holds digital assets on behalf of their customers. So that's where she sort of comes in. And then on the other end, we have senator Kirsten gillibrand who obviously represents New York. Which some would say is the financial capital of the world. And obviously crypto is becoming more important there. She's also, you know, she told me in an interview that when she started working on the Senate intelligence committee that this was becoming more of an issue that they were having hearings on. And so she was really starting to increase our interest in this particular space. And we are talking with Alice and vers brell she covers crypto and regulation for Bloomberg news. Would regulating it actually change the nature of crypto and how it works for us. So it would change in the sense that I guess some Bitcoin purists would say would change in that. They think this is supposed to be a space that's unregulated. That's not really touched by the government. But then you have folks on the other side, consumer advocates, for instance. Who say putting in these guardrails with just really add in protections for investors So if you have situations like the Tara USD collapse, that stablecoin I mentioned before, then you would have a way for investors to kind of get their money back. And potentially you wouldn't even be able to have those types of cryptocurrencies exist. So it's kind of two sides of the argument here, but I think it's pretty safe to say that at some point there is going to be some sort of regulation. And we just have to wait to see what lawmakers do. And is lawmakers don't act, see what these other agencies do. And the bill also includes a proposal that would analyze the environmental impact of crypto mining. So sort of a study versus an actual piece of regulation to tell us about how that would work because when you think of crypto mining, you don't normally think of the environmental impact. So this study that they would require would come from the federal energy regulatory commission in conjunction with the CFTC and the SEC. And basically, basically, it would look at energy consumption and the digital asset market as a whole. But crypto mining comes up specifically in this measure as well because that's been a concern of a lot of progressive Democrats. We've seen a lot of reports showing that the mining of Bitcoin in particular uses a lot of energy. And so we've seen some actions in states like New York to actually cut back on this type of activity. I think it's interesting that this provision, as opposed to a real regulation or a real crackdown on crypto mining, it's really just directing further study to look at the issue. I think it's probably safe to say that this was probably a compromise between the two senators. We've seen senator lummis say she's not concerned that this is really that big of an issue. I think on the other hand, though, this is an issue that senator gillibrand really cares about. So I think this was probably a good middle ground for the two of them. What sort

"Inflict as much pain as possible on the American consumer painted the pump so that they have no other choice but to buy a $70,000 electric car. So I think they're actually happy in doubling down on their field energy policy because in their crazy minds, they think the entire country is going to throw in the keys to their gas guzzling SUV and then we're all going to drive electric. Yeah, and again, I look at these folks and the people that can't afford a $70,000 electric car are the lower and the middle class, right? That these people petitioned to get votes from, right? And those are the people that can't afford that car. So what do they do now? They pay 5 50, 8 50, wherever they are, a gallon of gas. It's insane. And someone who can actually offer some perspective on this. And it's important to bring him in because, you know, the economy and with political races all over the country, all anyone is talking about is the economy, gas prices, inflation, and then expert in that field and all around just good guy. I would call him a good guy and a gentleman and a scholar. Mike Loomis from the financial guys. How are you, Mike? I'm good. I think the good guy, I don't know about the expert part. So this is an issue. The economy and inflation that is on the minds of every single person in America because it's not just pain at the pump, Mike. It's also the fact that milk prices are up everything is up and people literally are making the decision whether or not they're going to put gas in their car or put food on the table. So what is in your opinion, the direct cause of this? It's changing lives forever, really. I mean, you know, you've got everyday Americans that living paycheck to paycheck prior to this..

"Mentally. Ill people do so. I don't know what's happening to the. I mean they never mentioned it but did he kill the whole staff offscreen. How did how did he get out. They all get out. Nobody seems to have noticed yet. There's there's a lot in this movie that doesn't make sense because somehow although he's been locked up since he was six years old he knows how to drive. A car knows how to get back to his hometown. He knows how to get to his house. And then whenever he's actually doing the killings and such it seems like he's smart in a sense of like how he fucks with people. You know what i mean like. If as seems like he does you know what the hell us like ewing. But you're right like there's no motivation it's just thence lists on the other hand on the other hand he does not kill everybody. He runs into like in some later movies walking and he. He's so apparently he's gone back to his childhood home and his hanging out in their. Laurie comes to drop a key off because their fathers the realtor and then he sees her. And i guess gets fixated on her. Yeah i think like. I guess kind of maybe because she's similar to his sister and then they tell us in the second movie that she is his sister but how would he even know that. How would he have any idea. I don't know but he starts following her around and just sort of standing around staring at her and from his william shatner mask another famous thing about this movie is. They could not find a halloween masks. Because i don't think they were filming around halloween. So they got this william shatner mask. I thought they'd bought it in the store. But something i read makes it sound like this was something that was made for a movie. Shatner was in so maybe it was sitting around the prompt department and they spray paint no white and cut the is out and he wears this. Why favorite thing about this mask is that it has hair. Yes show me. And i haven't seen the movie that it's supposedly comes from. But maybe there they took a cast shatters face and maybe they were making a fake head or something in which case it would need the hair. I don't know i don't know. But apparently at some point along the way he stops by the graveyard by his sister's grave again. How does he know where that is. And he steals the headstone and then what tracks around town with him puts it in the trunk. For later i mean he never takes the mask off like that's the funny thing is like these things with the mask and everyone she's like morning. Good morning atallah wayne. So i guess that's why he gets away with that but yeah we don't ever see him with the gravestone it just at the end of the movie. He is prompted up in. Somebody's bed not in his childhood home but in a house down the street where he's posed. The three bodies of of the kids he's killed. Yeah takes their bodies to a different place from where he's killed them and arranges them. And that's what i'm saying is like keys. That's like his. Yeah it doesn't make sense but it's terrifying right and so it it like especially i think this is maybe like the second scary movie i saw really like as a as a young one and the i think the i was like cujo. And then this and and so it's like just. It's the shock of like from one scene to the next boom. Oh my gosh that is era frying but yeah. It makes absolutely zero cents see. I didn't see this movie when it came out. I would have been pretty young. Yeah ten years old. I would have been ten years old. And i ended up not seeing it until i was grown ass man and had already seen countless other much more intense slasher move. He's okay yeah that makes us. And then when i'm done i'm like what he can three people. What is that miss. Counting and i was like big whoop and this is part of my issue. I want wanna get too much into two thousand eighteen. But apparently he's boogeyman. That's haunted the town for forty years but this version. He's only killed five people. He has an continued to keep coming back and killing people over the course of nine other movies. Yeah so. I'm just not convinced that. I mean i guess the fact that he escaped from an insane asylum and was just killing random people make him pretty terrifying even if it wasn't that many people yeah and at some point like the sheriff is like he knows who's in these towns families. We are just weird. Just a bunch of families. Nothing bad happens here in our town and so for someone to kill anyone is like oh my gosh not here in where they idaho iowa had fields illinois something when i illinois okay minute was with an. I couldn't remember but yeah so i think it nothing really about the movie makes sense like 'cause it's also a thing like is he a human or is he like some sort of supernatural like you say like blake boogeyman type thing and i think that They never really. It never really makes sense. It's just terrifying interests. Scary loomis started luma's keeps saying that he's not he's more. He is literally human. I think in some of the sequels they do start getting this. Weird supernatural shit but Now jason who just straight. It becomes a zombie at one point. Yeah but they also like you see michael. They kill him several times. I feel like even in this movie. Like he gets shot and stabbed in all of these things he just doesn't die and he gets shot six times and fall off a balcony. I will say the human body is a is a funny thing in that sometimes it can just take a phenomenal amount of punishment and other times a little tap to the wrong place. And you're instantly dead. So i mean that's just how it is in real life so i guess maybe mike tim hauser. My while is crap math. Maybe he's one of those people that nerves aren't properly hooked up and he doesn't feel pain that would Would be nice if they mentioned that. Yeah yeah you could mitch that. Oh all right.

"To the wreck Elements show We've been talking about Bitcoin and digital assets and a big question. Everybody has Is this going to survive? Government scrutiny our regulators or Congress gonna outlaw this? Well, there's already a lot of regulation of both the federal and state level as well as governments around the world and the regulatory environment is going to increase. Governments are now taking the attitude that Bitcoin isn't going to go away. Instead, they need to get control of it. They need to regulate it the way they do other assets and other industries. Deutsche Bank, in fact, just released of 18 page study, saying governments are going to start regulating Bitcoin this year. The paper says Bitcoin is quote too important to ignore and that its price quote could continue to rise. As I said managers and companies continue to enter the market, George Banks says Bitcoin will remain quote Ultra volatile in the short term. And as a result, regulation is to be expected. But as I mentioned, we're beginning to see players in the government circle that are not anti Bitcoin. In fact, they're really rather favorable. Gary against Lor, the new chair of the SEC. He taught courses on digital assets and Blockchain at M I t clearly this is someone who knows the space really well. Cynthia Loomis. She's a senator from Wyoming, a strong supporter of digital assets. She was just appointed to the Senate Banking Committee and cinema Today Asia who you've heard on this radio show, she's the former head of digital assets a TD Ameritrade. She was just appointed by the Federal Reserve as that organization's chief innovation officer. Yeah, the Federal Reserve focusing on innovation. How about the comptroller of the currency? They just gave a national trust charter toe Anchorage Bank, A custodian for Bitcoin. Anchorage is the first national bank That is a digital asset bank. The safekeeping management trading of digital assets has been an issue for years. But this is a step making it go away. And the zero CC the office of the Comptroller of the Currency says it's applying the same standards to this charter application like for any bank. Federal has also okay. The purchase of a broker dealer by a digital currency firm and Iowa is recognizing Blockchain smart contracts, saying the digital contracts will now have the same legal status is regular contracts. But more regulation can be expected. In fact, there's a bill pending in Congress, authored by Patrick McHenry of North Carolina, Stephen Lynch of Massachusetts, Glen Thompson in Pennsylvania and Ted, but of North Carolina and Warren Davidson of Ohio. They've introduced legislation to have the SEC and the CFTC improved regulation of digital assets. What's the bill called the eliminate barriers to Innovation Act. They want to improve the market for digital assets, including their fairness, orderliness, integrity, efficiency, transparency, availability and efficacy. So very clearly we're seeing that the government is slowly but surely embracing digital assets. It's not going away, so they're going to grab this tiger by the tail. Oh, and it's not just experts joining the government in decision making roles. We have former government officials going into the private sector. Brian Brooks, who was the acting head of the Office of Controller of the currency under the Trump Administration, He's the new CEO of by Nance and Christopher Jan Carlo, who was the former chair of the CFTC. Is now on the board of blocked by so, Yeah, we're seeing the leadership, making it very clear in both government and corporate America.

So what a fun show this is this week, Rick Is so excited to talk about this topic more deeply. He's been talking to me about it for years. I still don't understand it, but I give it a good shot when I can But it is very exciting to really think about our Children and future generations what their lives are going to be like they're going to know driverless cars. Their interaction and how they know money is going to be so different from our parents. Our grandparent's even us. I mean, we're in the middle of this transition. It's hard. It's scary, but it's also so exciting. And so I don't want to take a lot of time from Rick. So I just thought I would share and give him his own word of the week. And of course, can you think what it's going to be? It's going to be Bitcoin. So the B is for believe this pandemic had many downsized, but I always like to look for the upside and it really, really made us look at ourselves in our society. What can we change? And currency is one of them, and it pushed us into the 21st century. So we need to believe in that new technology that we're living with telemedicine. Everything and look it like all the online shopping and insta card that made our lives so much easier while we were quarantining. We're swiping our phones to pay for something instead of touching a credit card machine and using dirty money. I mean, who would have thought so? The bees for believe, believe in this change, believe in what's coming. Eyes for innovation to introduce something new and make changes to what is established and re create this world around us. We have so much opportunity. In front of us. It's exciting. Teas for technology. So many businesses. Yes, we lost many.

Uh, Yes, In the the sense of if you're extending the list, but I think We've now proven or it's been proven at this point in the NFL, where it's out of the league. It's always been, you know, important have a quarterback, but I think you have to have one that in order to truly be a contender. So saints, I think will be one of the better teams in the league. Are they contender? Without a quarterback. No. So someone is gonna have to step into that role. Whether it is Jameson Winston. Whether it is tasting Hill whether it is both of them, you know, in some sort of hybrid. Offense. I don't know the answer there, but they'll be contenders in the sense that I think they'll be in the playoffs and the probably win double digit gains, But they won't be true contenders if they don't answer that quarterback question. Where they got an innovative coach that they've got plenty of time on their hands, and they performed well without Drew Brees the last couple years, so I'm not saying that they won't or they can't. But that is going to have to happen for them to truly be contenders. What's that? Another one over to the MBA Wizards lost.

"Athletes in at least five professional sports leagues the NBA The WNBA. Major League Baseball Major League soccer and tennis. Have decided to paraphrase one of those athletes that they are black Americans first and athletes second and so have decided not to play for the time being the decision of course, comes in the wake of the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha Wisconsin the other day many other black men and women in many other cities through time. These athletes want fundamentally police and criminal justice reform right marketplace's Marielle cigarrettes going with what leverage those athletes actually have and how long it might last last night Elizabeth Williams who plays for the WNBA Atlanta dream made a statement she and the other teams would not be playing and she had an ask for their fans if you truly believe that lives matter than vote.

But what about more direct financial pressure the players are withholding their labor hoping their demands will be met.

They are the conclusion of one of the more fun weekends of the year. We'll have NFL wild card weekend starting and then Dispatch the sped award. Show Fun for you nightmare for me. I will go straight from the eagles which my husband is too invested in into ricky surveys haltingly. Golden gloves so prepare for Sunday night attitude from Amanda yes I will be preparing for a weird attitude likely from ricky traverse one of the more more unusual figures to host an award show in the last ten or twenty years. He's back hosting Golden Globes. Were going to be predicting the results of some of these races which are chosen by ninety anyone mysterious foreign journalists Jervis was selected by these people to host the show in part because he has been the host of some successful editions of the Golden Globes. Last year was a different kind of Golden Globes humira call was hosted by Andy Sandberg and Sandra did not recall that. Until you said just now I think that I thought that that it was going to signal a new way forward for the Golden Globes. I don't know not necessarily a more progressive way forward but just the different kind of approach to hosting Alaska races back. What's your take on these days? Why are we still doing this? That every that's kind of where I am. I just like no thanks. I've moved on. I think we as a TV and awards. Washing washing community have moved on feels stale and it and he's feels like just kinda trying to hold onto whatever influence he had like ten years ago he still has a huge following and I think he's still a very successful comedian per se but he feels very fake controversial as a professional. Now where sort of everything he does is more of a provocation than a joke. which is not really where you WANNA be now famously on this award show? He's quite sharp elbowed he takes shots at celebrities as opposed to patting them on the back as many Golden Globes hosts have in the past I guess this is fine. I you know you think like what happens. When crosses the line and we have an outrage moment how will we handle that in this otherwise very convivial award show? I don't think people will care either will be the requisite op-eds or takes or whatever and perhaps that will distract from whatever terrible awards. The Hollywood foreign press gives out You know and maybe we'll put all of our anger into that and then we can just have an award. It's show maybe that's maybe it's a nice way of of dividing the components. Do you think we're queudrue vase was up for the joker and joker think he was auditioning against Joaquin now down He. He was auditioning for the Penguin. You know in the new one because everyone wanted to be the penguin You know this is a movie podcast broadcast but there are also a bunch of TV awards at the Golden Globes I. I haven't really paid much attention to the TV awards nor will be really prognosticating but yovany any sense of what's going. Go down here. TV was what were the big shows. Twenty nine thousand nine six session and fleabag will though shows win awards. What succession might succession session is nominated in drama along with big little lies the crown killing eve and wait for it then learn? They say that I watched the last year in the morning. Show who do not believe on the critics who came late to it and we're like wow the morning show is really become an investigation of me. Too Culture friends a dog wrote the last so it's more nutshell but anyway I still watched all of it. You could see it winning but you could also ASSOC- You know the crown seems like a very obvious when you can also see succession winning because the Golden Globes likes especially in the TV area to To get out ahead of the emmys succession has not yet won the major Emmy Award. This would be an announcement of succession as sort of the next great television. Show on Prestige Steve Cable. Whether that's still the case given the way that Netflix Amazon and all the other streamers have kind of barreled through the doors now is it will be interesting to see You know this. This is really weird. Best TV drama actress Jennifer Aniston. Olivia Colman Jody comber Nicole. Kidman Reese Witherspoon. Two nominations for the morning show. There are more billy crap. He's nominated for the morning show. If Billy Krupp wins for the morning show I take back half of everything I've said sad about the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is very strange. Maybe that's enough on TV awards. What else do we really want to make any sense things for succession fleabag everything else? I don't really care about. Let's let's start with something movie wise that I think is very relevant to this show. Do you think that this award show in. General is impactful on the the Oscar narrative in general or this year. Well let's start with in general. Yes I do because it just seizes attention and for a certain amount of time at a crucial moment and the awards are as much about attention economy as they are anything else. There are a lot of movies to see. There are a lot of voters who haven't quite quite caught up and I'm like oh I guess I should check this out and and sometimes I think it's reactive. Something wins and people are like I don't know about that. I'm GonNa make sure that I invest the other way but there isn't a fanfare around it. Everyone shows up for these. And it's televised and I just think the timing especially you can't help even if you're like this doesn't matter. I'm an ignoring it. We spend so much time talking about it. I do think it matters so last year of course Green Book won best drama and Bohemian. Wraps he won best musical or comedy though. I would argue. That Green Book is a comedy and Bohemian. rhapsody is neither a musical comedy drama. Those two films obviously competed heavily in one quite heavily heavily at the Academy Awards. Do you think that the results this year will sincerely affect the Oscars. Yes because the award season is much shorter this year. Nominations are in what voting begins today. That's that's insane. That's it's so fast and it's so compressed and I do feel like everyone is feels like if they're playing catch up. I'm still playing catch up on a couple of the Non Marquee categories. And I just think people will use this as a bellwether and also has an instruction action will of okay. Now I gotta go watch these three or I didn't like that this one so I'm going to do this. I don't know that it's one to one but yeah I think they're important. Would you argue that this is the most consequential Golden Globes in recent years. I guess so. Yes how strange. How strange I who have devoted so much of our lives to this it is? How do we let this happen? And I think you and I talked about at this early in the morning when the nominations were announced of. How have we allowed this group of people who tweeted airlines to become the major Oscar deciders? It's a very curious thing. Sometimes they do get stuff right. Yeah and sometimes they do vote in a manner that I think suggests like a clear lear narrative will be taking hold on something you know this year. There's an expectation. I'm getting ahead of myself. There's an expectation that Brad Pitt will win supporting actor. Brad Pitt is the consensus sensus favorite among almost every person. I've talked to to win best supporting actor that may not ultimately be the case. Maybe Al Pacino comes by. Maybe Joe Patchy comes by maybe Anthony Hopkins uh-huh bye-bye who knows it's a stacked category but among all the punditry for both the Oscars and the Golden Globes that I've read everyone agrees it's Brad Pitt. A part of that is because he's Uber famous and the famous is usually awarded here also the ingenue is usually awarded here. The morning show is sort of an ingenue at the at the Golden Globes this year. Wow maybe maybe a young performer. Who has never been who's never had a chance to win something before we'll also win here tonight to start with our predictions? Yes okay the first category. We're GONNA talk about his best motion picture foreign language now. This is notable because there is no universe in which this can reflect the Oscar nominations because there are two candidates here from France so are can also with a farewell will not qualify as foreign language. The first nominee is the Farewell Pedro Motive Painting Glory. Selena Gomez portability fire Bongino host parasite and lodge lease loomis Where was your heart? Tell you about this category category. I think this has to be parasite I think so too but okay international body. They've chosen to films is from France and they've basically chosen in American production a CO production and the farewell which is very popular seen by a great many people. They've been campaigning quite a bit. Yes also Pedro Almodovar's all trail possibly the most celebrated non-american filmmaker of the last twenty years. Twenty five years. Maybe it'd be overstating it he's in certainly in the conversation top five. That's all true. All Great Films Parasol is not eligible in either a drama or best picture drama or best picture a comedy Because it's forty which because that's how the Golden Globes work and Bongino is nominated for director and parasite is also nominated for screenplay I wish to signals to me that they really like parasite and this is the place where they can award parasite so you put your finger on something interesting. which is that people tend to look at the number of nominations especially amongst the small body like this as a clear indication of preference over other movies so once upon a time in Hollywood us five nominations at the Golden Globes? That must mean. It's a front runner in every category. Do you think that's true. Not In every category but I think that it means that there is interest in the film and that it will probably win something. I'm also kind of triangulating and and my picks because I don't think I think that they do try to actually sprinkle out awards among the movies that they do like so new spoilers but like I think this parasite parasite will triumph because it may not want other places interesting. I too am going with parasite. I think it would be insane to not go with parasite though I will be devil's advocating my way through this whole conversation. It's always voiced finds you podcast and live life with you Sean. Best motion picture animated amandus fever category frozen to how to train your dragon. The hidden world missing link Toy Story. Four and the Lion King which I find to be the funniest nomination here because the lion king was not submitted as animated feature to the Academy Nevertheless LS Globes has decided to nominate here. I would think twice. Sorry for yes I think that would be the only answer okay. I think that's the only truly beloved loved Film on this lineup. I think that's the only both critical and commercial success that tends to be the kind of wins. Best animated feature which is one of the more interesting features Church of the animated feature categories to me. Is that very rarely do films that are not commercially successful win there but all also also. You can't just be commercially successful. You have to be a masterpiece in the zone which is why pigs are winding picks ours when one almost every year at the Golden Globes since its inception except for last gear when Dino at one now I suck Spiderman Song. Oh Yeah that was a good movie. I was a great toy story. Four th. That's boring category. Hopefully they put that one up

Closed GM Plant Is Part Of Larger Negotiating Strategy For Striking UAW
"Negotiations between General Motors and striking autoworkers revolve in part around a plant that has shut down six months ago the last Chevy Cruz rolled off the assembly line at Lordstown Town Ohio Emel sheltie reports on what workers are doing now when the UAW last struck General Motors in two thousand seven the thousands of members in Lordstown were ready. They packed the two local union hall signing up for six hour shifts at the nine gates of the sprawling plant in northeast Ohio. Things are very different now. After only a handful of retirees and other volunteers are holding up picket signs celebrating the honks of support from the occasional truck passing by the West Gate here behind behind them are hundreds of acres of empty asphalt surrounding a plant that once employed more than ten thousand people and now employs only ten the picketers sum up why in just just a few words Brotherhood brothers and sisters supporting make it or Ed Rendell says it's a matter of just showing up to represent this place. Somebody's he's gotTa be here. I mean you know if there's no one here which is a signal that we're given up on this player. Rachelle Carlisle isn't giving up. She and her husband are among the thousand. GM employees who transferred to other plants. She's coming back from Michigan. This weekend joined the Lordstown picket line others are on their way to from Missouri Tennessee Kentucky Kentucky. We all keep in contact with each other or all spread out all over the country but also there for each other nearly all the local union leaders were among those who transferred away from here that left it to retirees like Bill Adams to step up. Hey No we don't have a statement. They were using the wreckage. Staples Atom says what the group lots numbers. It makes up in passion. I A lot of anger what happened. The can't understand why a plant that's produce just over sixteen million cars and fifty three years is all of a sudden useless to General Motors. They don't understand that. GM says what happened was pretty simple. American stop buying hang small cars it reacted by cutting shifts and then finally closing the plant in March. Bill Adams doesn't by the company's argument. GM made more than ten billion in dollars in North America last year and the local union has long argued that it could have shifted production of another vehicle here but GM says it has way too much capacity even for better selling trucks. SUV's Adams raises an eyebrow when asked about proposals GM floated just hours before the strike deadline. It was to build electric electric vehicle batteries near here. GM also is negotiating with an electric trucks start up to buy the Lordstown plant but even if both things happen the likely to hundreds of jobs not thousands the former Lordstown workers understand their plant is just one part of a much larger negotiating strategy. When Eric Loomis wrote his book a history of America intense strikes he devoted a chapter to the nineteen seventy-two Lordstown strike back then younger workers wanted more control over working conditions and the fierce clashes between Labor and management extended well beyond the three week strike in the industry that confrontational culture became known as the Lordstown Syndrome and Lordstown is now idled that action played a role in this strike. I think we're seeing a return to the strike as a weapon in in part because a lot of the other options that workers have tried to make life better for themselves shown to say they're not working and workers are getting more determined in a little more desperate when GM am closed the plant it said it recognised and regretted what it was doing to workers but it had to think about the long term viability of the company U. A. W. Members here are also also thinking about viability and they're determined to try to keep their plant an active part of not only the negotiations but of the nation's labor consciousness for N._p._R.

Panasonic Lumix DC-S1H Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera Launched
"On the show at the pleasure in having my friend Mr Marc toll he's from Panasonic. He's joining the show to set the record straight about full frame Panasonic micro four thirds as Panasonic leaving microphone thirds behind are they adding full frame to the lineup. What is this new world? Look like the Panasonic Sonic is building. Marc toll look to the show man. Thank thank you very much you haven't you haven't given me too much to cover here. No no responsibility at all. It's nice to see you and it's great to be on on this week in photography. Thanks so much for inviting me likewise. I've been WANNA have you on for Awhile I wanNA. Let's let's discuss since since we had lunch in up in Sacramento Day. Remember Yeah Oh yeah yeah. Let's let's let's start with just what your major function is over at Panasonic. What do you do for the company? I am what's now known as retail services manager which means I am in charge of all the tech reps so I used to be for the past twelve years. I've I been a technical supposedly expert will say today on this interview but so I'm I'm basically Olympic technical expert and now I'm a manager richer of that team nice so you know what thing or two about Luma cameras and an INS and outs so if there's any person on the planet to ask a question about lunatics you should know it now putting the last there frazier yeah he he members your lives in the Matrix so it's been here but I've been here since the G. One what ten years ago and I was an icon shooter then so I've gone gone the whole route and I am a photographer also so I'm not a professional photographer anymore I used to be but so I approached approach these from both sides obviously you stand bias towards Panasonic but I also look at these cameras. At what can they do for me artistic. Well let let's switch gears in dive into it right. Let's let's let's start with the with the biggest elephant in the room and that's you know when when Panasonic introduced S. One series cameras it was oh panasonic is leaving microphone thirds after all others hubbub about microphone thirds and how it's it's okay to use it. You don't need a full frame sensor them Panasonic releases camera that s one series with it full frame arguably superior to some other full frames and I'll say that because I'm I'm I'm a fan of obviously but you know and I have s when here on loan on and I can say that it is a fantastic system so why what's what what set the record straight here what is the landscape of Panasonic look like with regard to full frame in microphone thirds well. They are feeling as they reside together that actually four thirds is is the bigger part of our business but but in still photography especially everybody wants full frame. It's it's hot at the moment but four thirds is still appeals to a a lot of customers who want a smaller camera. A lot of people are putting things online now. It works great for video the five I think you're using a four two record your side of this interview you know so we see both residing together. There's new models of the series on the horizon. New Lens just got released this week. The ten to twenty eighty five millimeter f one point seven so no we fully plan to support both platforms but again we see the anybody who's looked at the number sees that the full frame market is growing quite a bit you know and that again is is primarily still photographers but we're we're does where where does Panasonic put people in buckets. You just mentioned so primarily still photographers right so are you is Panasonic hoping that you know sort of the high end pros. This will be the ones that that migrate over to the S. Ones and everyone else we'll stay on micro four thirds or is sort of a path of ascension wall since well before third you move up to insulin. What do you think I think they should vote by them? Both small camera two camera. What's it's your credit card number again? So you know the way I look at it is that the s series but full frame is aimed more towards towards the professional or the serious landscape person they don't even the professional making money at the businesses they could just be like the which is forty seven mega pixels they could just be a high end still photographer. Maybe like shooter but we also want to appeal to that that professional portrait photographer like you said the camera hips every button and and arguably it's got features that other full frame cameras don't have but but the g series appeals to well. I'm probably more of a g each series customer. I'm a good example of it. I'm more of a street photographer. I want something small to carry with me all the time. It's a lot of times it's it's an older customer or a customer who travels a lot who who doesn't want to carry any big full frame camera in these big lenses. They want to carry a series so there's not a clear distinction and for video it works both ways a lot of people prefer the smaller sensor in the G. H. series for video because it's more forgiving of depth of field and things like that but now there's a lot of people who want more artistic videos with shallower depth the field and things like that so yeah. I guess if you really had a draw distinction. The S.'s is aimed more at the professional more advanced amateur market in the G. is aimed more towards the traveler the person who wants a camera just lighten easy to use news yeah yeah you know the interesting thing that I found after I got the loner in the S. One is obviously the menu system is the same across all of the cameras which is what I enjoy remember getting a little tight what was the little one the little tiny loomis camera the world's smallest microphone the GM one and five yeah yeah. I remember get one of those things and sort of looking at it was like this is the exact same menu system as my larger cameras. You know these missing some things obviously but it's the same I'd love that that sort of feel feel of being able to move from like say four that I'm shooting on right now to an S. one to the five that I use. It's behind me back there. Then you know used as for video so those I love that that flow of being able to move between the two so if someone is considering an s one or s when are right now in and they're on a previous g series camera. What's the flow for them from your perspective can they keep both in like you're like you're doing street photography but like someone like me? Is it feasible to keep both all things being equal monetary monetary. Are you worked for the company like I do and they just send them to you up on your desk. Hey check this out right but I I wondered about that because we change the menu system a little bit in the s series each but we know that that's one of the things that we really high marks for Panasonic has always gotten good reviews for having a very clean easy to use system so we didn't want to touch it so I I feel that like when I teach teach classes on how to use Panasonic cameras that I can have people from an es- series or point and shoot in the class the point point and shoot might have more things in the menu whereas the series going to have them as buttons bud or if you move up from a g series Jeanine to an S. series like now I'm just looking at it here next to me almost identical in the SEC put a few more chapter indentations in the menu things he's like that just to clean it up a little bit but no I feel somebody could go from the GM one to this and adapt to it very easily. I'll tell you the flow that I'm kind of looking got right now. I'm trying to convince the powers that be over there. So if you know put in a good word I want to hang onto this as a little longer is back there behind me is you know back there. There's the G H five which I don't know if you can see it but at the top of it there's a video. There's a there's a road video Mike on top of it so so that's sort of a running gun vlogger camera next to it is Jeanine sitting on top of the the what do you call it the tripod from designing nine you know the new the new tripod yet so that's sitting on there and then for what I call I don't know I don't know what you call proper photography or high resolution photography geography or whatever there's the s series you know so those I feel like I'm covered on all right now except aerial until Panasonic comes out with an aerial campaign or a drone grown right yeah yeah yeah but I feel like I'm covered on all basis from from the sort of running gun video to to non-professional Studio Non Studio photography which is the Jeanine and then studio level models shoots and that sort of thing with the with the bigger with a bigger camera with more or less depth of field right exactly exactly and I approach it the same way I was recently in your area in the bay area and for most of the time I'm working with Panasonic on teaching on going to you know going going to stores and I'm looking for here around me here. I'm carrying the little. LX One hundred two all tricked out with these accessories and might be designed strap. My Love you find her a hipster. You gotta you gotTa keep up when you get older. You're exactly a leather jacket that matches the leather jacket you put on the camera. That's not too far so I'm either carrying the elect hundred two or I'm carrying the Jeanine with with the fifteen millimeter millimeter lens but then I had a chance to photographs abuse. I used to live in the area. Somebody hired me who used to be a client to photographs and portrait's it. I I went when we first announced the S I I'm I'm always like getting dragged and tech technology and I felt like I'm not going to give up the g series you know I I love full frame. I love the look of it. I loved the show in the shallow depth of field but the big size wasn't for me but now I'm finding balance. Now I'm finding I probably use the the G series seventy percent of the time because I m mostly a street photographer but to be able to pull out this full frame and just be able to like you said switch from one to the other because the menu systems the same all the controls are the same you know yeah yeah that's interesting. I was thinking about I was talking to someone the other day about you know the the the the size differences between the g cameras in the s cameras and I remember when I first saw the camera. I was like Jesus this thing. Is You know. This is a camera you know he he has yeah it was Kinda like back to the old night count as when I had my by F. Four and all those like hey. This is quite that big but you know it felt like that but when you when you have this this is the this is the swan right here when I picked this camera up you know what it reminded me of. It reminds me of those Nikon days when you were unapologetically a photographer gopher right yeah not that you're apologizing by using any of the G series cameras but they're smaller. They're you know part of the like you mentioned before part of the allure of using those cameras is they're smaller. They're less obtrusive you know you. Could you know people don't know that you're shooting half the time you could put it on silent. Go into stealth mode the s series I would. I go out with that thing. I feel like I'm a photographer here. Who knows yes? I am a photographer a because I got a big cameras so obviously taking photos that's right yeah yeah and then and then be because you know it's a big cameras expensive so I've invested in this camera so you think you're right so yeah I I was wondering from your standpoint. Is that feel like when when people go out with these series cameras it's unapologetic that they are a photographer and they mean business or why would they go through the effort to bring this all this glass technology out with them. Exactly you know I mean example. I used a few years ago. I used to photograph a Country Club in Menlo Park and this was when there was just the g series and I showed up with one of the small G. Three cameras and the person hire me look at me and they go real camera exactly and I and I I had to back out by welcome. You know look at my website. I guarantee the pictures will be good you know and and they were they were happy with them but yes it does so this goes back to those rose feeling like you've got everything under control too. You can do more better low light. You can control the the atmosphere more work situation and you know it's funny like you said when you pick up the camera it it it I you look at it and if it gets big and the thing I noticed with customers because I was curious to see their responses when they pick it up their first responsive how good the grip feels yeah and their second responses how amazing finder it yeah you find her is five point seven eight million dots is just incredible incredible and and then the third thing that that I absolutely love about it.
