"Now I also like to point out for those not in the know, did you know that tether USD T is also legal tender in El Salvador, that's right. Many people didn't know this, not just Bitcoin, but USD T tether. So that was a very, very important to note. And as previously reported, tether aggressively cut its commercial paper backing last year, eventually reducing it to zero by late 2022. In addition to removing commercial paper from its reserves, tether was replacing those investments with US Treasury bills, the news comes amid tether continuing to increase its market dominance, with USD T's market cap, adding about $8 billion since February 28th, and at this time USD T's market value stands at 79 billion, which is the highest level since May of 2022. According to data, from coin gecko. And if we actually take a look at the USD C circle market cap, it's not looking so pretty. At all, whatsoever. So keep that in mind as well. And while USD T market dominance has risen, circles rival stablecoin USD coin has been losing its market share as I just pointed out with the market cap dropping 18% since late February, also another interesting fact. The creator owner, CEO, head dude in charge over at circle. He doesn't like Bitcoin. He in fact said on the record many years ago, that eventually no one will be using Bitcoin. So he's not a believer in it. Whereas with tether USD T, at least the people behind it believe in Bitcoin. That should tell you everything you need to know about the ongoing FUD, which comes out about tether, USD T, the real FUD should be about circle, U.S. D.C., but it's like the blind leading the blind. It just is what it is, fam. So do keep that in mind. You know what I mean? Circle, face major issues due to its exposure to the collapse of SVB with the USD C stablecoin briefly losing its one to one peg with the U.S. dollar. In fact, it hit like 89 cents. That's not a good look. The stablecoin subsequently repacked the mid circle announcing cross river and a new banking partner expanding ties would be in why Mellon ultimately being bailed out. So there you have it. And now let's discuss our next story of the day and that's this $1 million

The Biden administration is urging the Supreme Court to reject efforts by a group of Republican led states to keep title 42 in place indefinitely while the litigation plays out. A federal judge had ordered the COVID era restrictions to end on December 21st, prompting the states to file a last minute appeal arguing it would cause a calamity on the border. In its filing, the administration conceded ending title 42 may lead to an increase in border crossings, but said the government is prepared to address it with new policies.

"Fact is that kitty hawk was rough this year. Yet, their courage and determination isn't gone just yet. Will and orv throw themselves back into their work. Kate reports that all she and pop ever hear is the boys incessant jabbering about flying. September soon arrives Ohio mourns the assassination of its native son and longtime public servant, U.S. president William McKinley. What an added distress, this must be, as will travels to Chicago to speak at the western society of engineers. He gives a humble speech filled with praise for those upon whose shoulders he stands, especially Otto lilienthal and his now pier, Octavian. His words are well received, but for all his humility, we'll also know that, upon returning to Dayton, he and will must reckon with the fact that these very intellectual giants got so very much wrong. As orv later puts it, it was like groping in the dark. Lillian tall's figures were not to be relied upon. Nobody else had done any scientific experimenting along these lines. The boys face down this challenge upstairs in their bike shop with a 6 foot long, 16 inch square wind tunnel. Yet to experience the Edison touch, they rely on a gasoline engine to power an electric fan, thus creating their wind. As October and November pass, the duo laboriously cut and pound all the hacksaw blades and bicycle spokes into dozens of model biplanes, then send them through the tunnel. Slowly but surely, they unlearn the errors of auto lilienthal and move toward their next iteration of glider. But by December, the boys have to turn their attention back to manufacturing bikes. Yes, even with cigar loving Charlie Taylor's help, who's still very much employed by the rights and doing a great job, despite Kate's dislike of him. Will and or of can't check out indefinitely. Though, octopus certainly wants them to. He's so eager for them to carry on. He offers to ask his friend Andrew Carnegie to fund them so they can ignore the bike shop. We'll honor to climb down. Patiently, they build bikes through the winter of 1901 to 1902, and when spring arrives, they turn their attention from machines with two wheels to one machine with two wings. Using their own figures and data from the wind tunnel, the boys have high hopes for this year's trip to kitty hawk. In late August, 1902, will and ore of undertake what has become their annual pilgrimage to North Carolina's outer banks. They arrive at their sandy beach camp on the 29th, and immediately are in better spirits than last year. For one thing, the camp, which they get back in order over the next week in change, is becoming rather nice. They've built themselves an off road sand tolerant bicycle, deep in their water well, and above all else, will exalt. No Edward huffaker and no mosquitos. Yeah, we'll throw Edward in the same company as a mosquitos. Man, they really hate that guy. Starting on September 8th, they begin assembling this year's flying machine. With the wingspan of 32 feet, it's their biggest yet. In fact, the total wing area is 305 ft², almost double that of 1900 glider. As they assemble this monster of a soaring machine, they also take apart last year's. There just isn't space to house both. The boys have also added a new feature this time around. A rear rudder. All of this takes a week and a half, but by September 19th, the ready to fly. And this time I really mean they because orv is finally taken a crack of piloting. I can't tell you why the mustachioed right hadn't done so earlier. Perhaps will was just more interested or was taking all the risks to protect his little brother. After all, the dangers of flying are no joke, as orfs soon finds out. It's a late September day, 1902. Or of Wright stands on the sand, ready to pilot the glider just as soon as he gets the needed wind. And he can hear and see a breeze coming. Soon, he feels it. Reaching 12 mph, the wind is strong enough to produce the lift he needs. Charging forward, he soon airborne. But to his horror, or suddenly realizes this isn't breeze. He'll later call it a whirlwind. The nose of the glider jerks up hard about 25 feet, so he responds by tilting the forward rudder to descend. But only a moment later, the capricious wind shifts worse, the inexperienced pilot doesn't quite have the skill to handle the needed wing warping correctly in this situation. The glider slams into the ground, spitting or out headfirst. Thankfully, he's all right. Not even bruised. But The Rookie is a bit shaken, and it takes a few days to repair the glider. Things go smoothly on this trip from here on out though. On the night of October 2nd, too much coffee leaves an over caffeinated or unable to sleep. In the state, he realizes the immovable rudder is a problem. Fish to add a hinge. Because this isn't about the rear rodder responds differently and could assist with wing warping. Meanwhile, more visitors come, including kitty hawk locals, who've really grown to love the rights. The boys older brother, Lauren Wright, George spratt, Octavian, and octaves assistant, Augustus herring. But still no Edward huffaker. Will and orf politely suffer through octave and Augustus testing out a far inferior multi wing soaring machine. But by mid October, the boys are back to exclusively testing their own glider. By the time they depart for home on October 28th, the Wright brothers have logged some thousand flights this summer are gliding over 600 feet and staying in the air for 26 seconds. As Davi mcculla so eloquently sums up the Wright brothers 1902 trip to kitty hawk. They could soar they could float, they could dive and rise, circle and glide and land, all with assurance. Now they had only to build a motor. It shouldn't be that hard to get their hands on a motor in late 1902. As we know from the last episode, gasoline engines have really come into their own. And many of the nation's new horseless carriage makers are embracing it. In fact, it was only days before this year's kitty hawk trip wrapped up that Henry Ford's latest racer, 9 9 9, beat will and orb's fellow high in Alexander winton. It was Henry's second win over him. But the Wright brothers several increase only draw one response and what's offered is far too heavy. So once again, the boys head to their shop, but this time, they aren't the ones calling the shots. That would be their cigar chewing mechanic Charlie Taylor. Charlie has very limited experience puts him ahead of his two employers. And frankly, he gets engines in a way they don't. To quote Charlie. While the boys were handy with tools, they'd never done much machine work. And anyway, they were busy on the airframe. It was up to me. My only experience with the gasoline engine was an attempt to repair one in an automobile in 1901. And so, in the early months of 1903, Charlie works on the engine as the brothers focus on the propellers. Both are major undertakings, and frankly, works of genius. Again with echoes of our last episode, Charlie's engine has no carburetor per se. The gas sits in a one gallon tank, hanging from a wing strut and relies on gravity to feed the fuel to a shallow chamber where it can mix with the air. Then perform its explosive magic in the four stroke four cylinder 12 horsepower engine. Brilliantly, they keep its weight well under 200 pounds by having the engine block cast from aluminum. Meanwhile, the boys are crafting the propellers, which, to their surprise, proves to be a less developed technology than they had hoped. It appears that, just like routers, propellers respond differently to aircraft than watercraft. Yet, it seems no one else experimenting with propellers in the air has figured these details out. Once again, will and or of have to do it on their own. Yet incredibly, they again use a wind tunnel to collect data and sort this out in a mere matter of months. Charlie considers this achievement greatly underappreciated. To quote him again, I think the hardest job will in ore have had was with the propellers. I don't believe they were ever given enough credit for that development. The outcome is two handcrafted propellers of spruce wood, each measuring 8 and a half feet in diameter and set to spin in opposite directions. One clockwise, the other counterclockwise, so as to equalize the pole they create, otherwise known as gyroscopic action. Oh yeah, and let's not forget. They also build another aircraft. This one is so big, they can't even fully assemble it in Dayton, Ohio. The boys will put it together for the first time on site. But getting to that point is still fraught with difficulty. Though will and orb depart for an arrive at, there'd be beloved North Carolina outer banks beach in late September 1903, the disassembled aircraft won't make it until October 8th. It takes almost a month to get it put together, but then disaster strikes when the engine misfires and vibrates so hard, it damages the propeller shafts beyond repair. Ultimately, this force is orb to make a return trip to Dayton, where he and Charlie workout replacement shafts made of solid steel. It isn't until December 11th that orf makes it back to kitty hawk with these replacement parts. But the repairs are soon made, and the boys have finally reached the point to which their work has been building for so many years. It's time to attempt controlled, sustained, and powered flight. It's December 14th, 1903. We're among North Carolina's outer banks. At the Wright brothers beach camp, just outside kitty hawk. Will and ore are just finishing repairs on their flying machine. And what a sight it is to behold. From forward to rear rudder, it's wrapped in a beautiful and strong white muslin cloth. Spanning 40 feet, the biplanes wings are securely trust with the same type of wire used on the Brooklyn Bridge. That's right. Roebling wire. Two spruce propellers are a fix just behind the wings, while the motor powering them is located on the bottom wing, just off center right to counterbalance a piloting Wright brothers body weight as he lies next to it just off center left. And as the afternoon comes, the boys find themselves content with their last adjustments. It's time to test it out. With the help of John T Daniels and two other locals, will and or have moved their over 600 pound flying machine on skids more than a quarter mile. It's a big kill devil hill. The next get the aircraft on their 60 foot launching track, then start the engine. Curious, but now terrified local boys run off as it roars to life. Finally, it's time to decide who gets to make this historic flight and the fairest way possible. A coin toss. Big brother Wilbur wins. He lies prone in the pilot's position. His hips rest in a cradle that allows him to warp the wings by swaying his body as he also grips a bar before him that controls the forward router or elevator. And finally, he's off. We'll shoot down the track and ride into the air, but just as he gets off the ground, he overcorrects his ascent. Almost immediately, he slams hard into the sandy earth, only 100 feet from the launching track. Hardly a sustained or controlled flight, and repairs will be needed, yet the brothers are overcome with joy. This was a user error. They know that. And after some minor repairs, they're sure they've got this. It's now December 17th. A cold winter's morning at kitty hawk. And once again, John Daniels and a couple other locals have helped the Wright brothers get their flying machine into place on big hill. The engines engaged. It starts warming. Since will had his chance three days ago, it's orf, who takes the prone pilot position. And at ten 35 a.m., he starts down the track. A headwind slows him down, but at the tracks end, he launches into the air. It's choppy, wavy, but orfs in control. The gas engine powers the propellers pushing the heavy machine with such force it can sustain lift. That's it. They've done it. And John Daniels even manages to use a camera for the first time in his life to snap a photo of the plane in air. It's only 120 feet and lasts a mere 12 seconds. But orbes flight was powered, controlled, and sustained. As are that afternoon's three increasingly farther and longer lasting flights, the last of which is 59

You know, there's several and I'm not gonna need not yet. Not now. Did I say not yet? I'm just gonna say not now. I need them. I need them to do something. Okay. They've agreed to do that money has changed hands. And the one thing I've made clear over and over again is I need to know you're coming. You can't come when I'm not there. You can't come in the middle of something. Just tell me what you want to give me the classic freaking 4 to 6 hour window. Okay, That's fine. I'll accept that. Just tell me when you're freaking showing up. And here I am in the middle of work. Just get a text from Judy. Their hair. They want to dig. They want to disconnect everything and blah, blah, blah. But I have to be there to tell them where and how and the resident so here is my my moment is in my realization. I am not the customer. They are the customer apparently, and the customer is always right if you want to come to my home Punch me in the face. Murder my dog in front of me. Maybe sodomized my wife. I don't know. You want to burn the place to the ground. You want to spit on my corpse. You're going to do that. Apparently, you are the champion, my friend. You are the supreme beings. You are my God.

Yummy, Yummy Boot heels, my glorious and kind of pressers. Holy crap. You having a good credit?

We're ready. Well, there's nobody there. What do you mean, you're you're there. What? I just talked to somebody the other day about when you can come out, and then they just show up and it's a similar thing And it's a monopoly. There's no other company to go to So they do whatever the hell they want. The last people out of the house were incredibly apologetic. And set up. Yeah, we've you know, we've had this escalated in our bosses Honest above just really apologize. I say Okay. You know, that's cool. You're nice folks. You're doing your best. I understand that, But here's the key thing. I need to know your Oh, yes, sir. Understood, sir. Yes, sir. And then they just effing show up again. Unbelievable. Anyway, moving along. Have you heard about this Chinese bad fever that's going around. They call it Covid 19 so since it began A cup of coffee ago. Covid has followed a regular if mysterious cycle, quoting from The New York Times in one country after another, the number of new cases Surges for roughly two months, then starts to fall. The delta variant despite being intensely contagious, has followed this pattern. You remember we talked about this on the show Delta took hold during the winter time in India. Caseloads. There rose crazy for two months. Everybody was panicked. Plummeted nearly identical right immediately after Britain caseload rose for an almost exactly two months before peaking in July. Now you want to talk about a couple of contrasting countries, you've got the vast soon to be a bigger than China, India Very rural, very poor, backward healthcare system in a lot of it, the rest of it. Then you've got great Britain for the love of heaven. Same pattern Indonesia. Same thing. Both Thailand. They both. They both speak with a British accent, though, which is interesting, and they both play cricket, which is inscrutable in me. I understand you're supposed to hit the ball, but then they just run back and forth. Why? And it takes days. You haven't gotten anywhere anyway. So same thing in Indonesia, Thailand, France, Spain, several other countries, every single one of them. The delta surge lasted between a little over a month and a half in a little under 2.5. In other words, two months, I'm looking at these graphs their uncanny And in the U. S rates go ahead. I couldn't have told you that the length month and a half two months or whatever, but my just following this over the last year and a half, That's what I've perceived just through following this story is that it seems to roll into places stick around for a while and leave regardless of how much social distancing and masking you did, and your vaccination rates and all those different things. It just kind of comes in, does its thing and leaves no matter what country town state Now this is some good, evenhanded observing by the New York Times, But don't fret. They'll be incredibly annoying in liberal in just a minute, so stay with us. But, um, in the U. S. States where the Delta first caused case rolled caseloads. The rised circle cycles on its downside is two months later Case numbers in Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, with all those murderous Republican governors who are killing their people. They've started falling again and are falling sharply now why? New York Times asked experts about the two month cycles and they acknowledge they could not explain it, says Michael Ulster home who have seen quoted many times University of Minnesota epidemiologist quote. We're still really in the caveman ages, in terms of understanding how viruses emerge, how they spread, how they start and stop and why they do what they do..
