Markets Daily Crypto Roundup
A highlight from Crypto Update | Ether Futures ETFs Emerge as SEC Extends Bitcoin ETF Decision Window
"This episode of Markets Daily is sponsored by Kraken. It's Friday, September 29th, 2023, and this is Markets Daily from CoinDesk. My name is Noelle Acheson, CoinDesk collaborator and author of the Crypto is Macro Now newsletter on Substack. On today's show, we're talking about inflation, crypto ETFs and more. So you don't miss an episode, be sure to follow the podcast on your platform of choice. Just a reminder, CoinDesk is a news source and does not provide investment advice. Bitcoin's price jumped again yesterday, accelerating the upward trend. Since the jump, it has been oscillating around $27 ,000. At 10 a .m. Eastern Time, it was at 26 ,895, up 1 .2 % over the past 24 hours. Ether has been doing even better as the first Ether futures ETF starts trading today. I'll have more on this in a moment. Earlier today, Ether was trading at $1 ,669, up twice as much as Bitcoin, at 2 .4%. The boost to crypto market is most likely partly due to accelerated launch of Ether -linked ETFs. These put a convenient wrapper around Ether exposure for retail and institutional investors. It also coincides with a drop in U .S. yields, which suggests that macro considerations are still very relevant. Let's dive into these for a moment. The U .S. 10 -year Treasury yield reached a multi -year peak yesterday of almost 4 .7%, its highest since 2007. We also saw the German bond benchmark yield reach its highest since 2011. The U .K. 10 -year gilts hit levels last seen a year ago during the country's bond crisis. And even Japan's 20 -year government bond yield rose to its highest level since 2014. In the latter half of the U .S. trading day yesterday, however, sentiment seemed to turn. Bond prices started to recover, bringing yields down. This coincided with yesterday's jump in the Bitcoin and Ether prices I mentioned above. Yields in Europe today continued the trend. And then early this morning, we got good news on the inflation front. The U .S. Personal Consumption Expenditures Index, known as the PCE, came in slightly better than expected. This is significant, as the PCE is the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge as it measures goods and services bought by all U .S. households and nonprofits. The CPI, in contrast, only measures purchases by urban households. The Core PCE Index, which strips out energy and food, grew by 3 .9 % year -on -year in August. This is still above the Fed's target 2%, but it is lower than July's 4 .3 % year -on -year growth. So far, this has been achieved without a strong spike in unemployment. The downward direction of core PCE growth suggests that the Fed might be able to avoid another rate hike this year. It's too soon to tell, obviously, and the tea leaves are going to get more complicated to read given the government shut down that, barring a last -minute save, starts tomorrow. Next Friday would have given us the latest official employment data, a key factor in the Fed's thinking and in investors trying to with a private sector proxy out on Wednesday. This is useful, but the two data points are not always correlated. Moving over to stock markets, on the back of this good news, U .S. stocks seem to be determined to claw back some of their September losses before the month ends. Yesterday, the S &P 500 was up almost 0 .6%, and so far today is continuing its upward trend another 0 .6%. The Nasdaq, which in theory is even more sensitive to interest rate expectations, is up double that. The more industrial Dow Jones is up only 0 .2%. This is starting to look like a risk -on rally. However, today is the last trading day of the quarter for traditional markets, so there could be some repositioning as well as options expiry manoeuvring going on. Europe also got some good news this morning on the inflation front. The Eurozone CPI came in better than expected, with a 4 .3 % year -on -year increase for September. This is its lowest level in two years and is notably down from August's 5 .2 % increase. Stripping out energy and food, the Core Index grew by 4 .5%, down from 5 .3 % in August. Good news there. This has been Boosting Equities. Earlier this morning, the German DAX was up over 1 .1%. A similar story is playing out in Japan, where the Tokyo Core CPI index increased by 2 .5 % year -on -year in September, lower than expected, and lower than August's 2 .8%. A sell -off in the country's bonds continued, however, and the government resorted to unscheduled bond buying overnight to support the market. The intervention was small and could just make traders even more nervous. The Nikkei stock index was down slightly on the day. In commodities, the oil price is retreating from yesterday's highs in response to the respite in bond yields. The Brent crude benchmark is down over 0 .6%, trading at $93 .5 per barrel. Gold was also weaker today as markets adopted a more risk -on mood. Earlier it was trading at $1 ,860 per ounce, down 0 .25%. Over the past month, gold is down just over 4%. Stay tuned, after the break we'll take a look at more moves on the ETF front.

Fresh update on "this quarter" discussed on Spellcaster: The Fall of Sam Bankman-Fried
"Anywhere, 24 hours a day via your mobile device. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, the Bloomberg Business App and Bloomberg dot com. This is a Bloomberg Money Minute. Automation is nothing new. We've gotten used grocery to store self -checkout and touchscreen fast food menus, but now hotels are offering more self service to replace workers lost during the pandemic. Tourists came back and workers didn't necessarily do that. So Bloomberg's Augusta Sariva says what started as a temporary solution is becoming more permanent. Things like self -check -in or even automated bartenders. They can run up to $40 ,000. It's all raising questions about whether those hotel jobs will ever come back. The industry still has nearly a quarter million fewer workers than it did before Covid. Sariva says some tourists she's spoken spoken with sound like they wouldn't mind a few of those jobs returning. The way they put it. I just spent, I don't know, 15 minutes trying to make this work. It didn't work so at the end of the day I still had to rely on a human to help me out. So it seems like at the end of the day we're still getting mixed reviews. Nathan Hager, Bloomberg Radio. And I'm Denise Pellegrini in the Bloomberg Newsroom. New effort underway as we've been reporting by House Speaker McCarthy Kevin to avert a government shutdown at midnight. Bloomberg's Billy House says McCarthy is desperate to find a solution to the government funding crisis. Today he is meeting with his conference to sell try to them on a simplistic approach, a temporary one that would extend funding at the same levels they are now for 45 days and add some disaster funding. Now this is no strings attached sort of bill he hopes can get through, but there are still wide doubts that the Democrats would join in on voting this, for this, or even that all of these own Republicans, particularly the hardliners, would go for it. So that's what we're waiting for this afternoon. Will he put bill this on the floor and will it pass? And then of course people forget maybe that there's two chambers in Congress and the Senate would have to think about it and that's run by Democrats. And so it's very unlikely this is resolved by the midnight deadline, but the Speaker in the House is trying to get some semblance of momentum going and this afternoon we'll see if that at least happens or if we're still stuck on go. And Bloomberg's Billy House also says the number of days duration of any temporary spending bill is also really uncertain this hour. Many members of his party don't want a CR at all. In other words, a CR is a continuing resolution, meaning continuing existing funding. They think that they should do the bills that fund agencies individually and not continually to stall and play around with those bills. Then some say, well, we'll give you a week longer to do those bills. Only one has actually advanced to the Senate. And then there's 12 and then others want 30 and others say 45. So that is one of the elements of what they might vote on today still that's uncertain is exactly how long it will extend. But what he's proposing is 45 days. All right. Thank you, What Billy. brings What Billy House tracking developments for us all day long? Probably all night long here as well here on Bloomberg Radio. In other news, Ford Motor Company chief executive officer Jim Farley accusing the United Auto Workers, as we've reporting been of holding talks hostage over issues not governed by their contract.

Despite all these losses this month, I'll mention is if we see that reset, because there's been a lot of talk about how valuations have come down those multiples, if you will here, but they still are sort of camped out above those historical averages. And of course, right now, a lot of the key technical indicators are in play as well here. Let's walk through the numbers here. We have a lot to parse here. The Dow Jones Industrial Average down on the day here by roughly about half a percent as we wait for these numbers to settle. That's going to give it a loss on the month of about three and a half percent and a loss in the quarter of about 2 .6 percent. The S &P 500 down 11 points on the day or three tenths of a percent, nursing a five percent loss on the month and four percent for the quarter. The NASDAQ composite actually holding into the green here on this Friday afternoon, only about a tenth of a percent here. But that's not good enough to raise some of the losses that it had earlier. Six percent down on the month for September, four percent for the quarter. And the Russell 2000 also going to close out on a down note. A half a percent on the day, Carol, and six percent on both the month and the quarter. All right. A great check right on the month, on the quarter in terms of where we're ending up. I am pulling up the S &P 500 and taking a look at the individual names for the third quarter. And it is at the top of the list, largely, Katie, those energy names, Marathon Petroleum up almost actually about 30 percent in the third quarter. But there's a lot of energy names. At the top of the pack, you're looking at names like Dollar General, Insulate Corporation, Solar Edge. They are some of your laggards for the third quarter. Well, to your point on energy, it had a great quarter, but it had a terrible Friday today. Energy, that industry group off by nearly two percent. And of course, that has been the outperformer of the week of the past three months. Not so high.

Tech Path Crypto
A highlight from 1272. BlackRock CEO Hints at DeFi & Bull-Run! | FULL BREAKDOWN
"All right, so let's drill down into Larry Fink's brain today. We're going to do this. He did a big interview at a Bloomberg event, and it breaks down a lot of not only his ideas of where the markets is going, but also some of the technologies within crypto that are going to affect all of this. I'll break it down for you guys today. My name is Paul Bearer. Welcome back into Tech Path. All right, let's get into our first clip. And this first clip is breaking down interest rates over the next few years, what it looks like from the man himself. Larry Fink, listen it. You have Jamie Dimon, for example, saying rates in the U .S. could go to 7%, and we're not ready for it. Is he right? Look, we all have opinions. I mean, I've been saying for over a year - I want to know your opinion. My opinion is we're going to have 10 -year rates at least at 5 % or higher. All right, so you heard it, higher, longer 10 -year rates holding on to that, but yet still very optimistic in terms of the overall position, so a little bit more hopeful. Rick Ryder, who is one of the key investment guys there at BlackRock, who manages like almost $3 trillion in assets, he also came in on this clip. Listen in to what he had to say. So I think there's a couple of things that are going to happen. I think when the Fed starts, and I think they'll start cutting rates in the second half of the year. I don't think they're in any rush that they need to do it. Second half of this year? Second half next year. Okay. Just wanted to make sure. Thank you for that clarification. I would have been buying stocks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, so he's looking toward the third quarter next year. We talked about that before, is that that most likely will be the case with this higher for longer approach that goes into this. Now, the key here is, is what is causing this? Now, what are we seeing this in terms of the market disarray, the pushback, the consumer spending that's been holding inflation high? They get into it a little bit here around wages being too high. Listen in. The whole idea about restricting immigration. And in the United States, we've had close to a trillion dollars of fiscal stimulus just beginning its J curve. These are huge job creators and at the same time we have restricted immigration and as a result of it, you know, we see more wage pressure. So at what cost? We have in the United States, a very protracted strike between the auto workers and the auto companies. It has been reported that the union is asking for a 40 % increase. So at what cost? What do you do with a problem like that? Right now, I think in our mega trends, right now we are under invested in China. Under invested in China. That's interesting. OK, so a couple of points here to make and also to kind of references the framework of why these strikes are occurring, especially with the United Auto Workers strike. You look at it and it really boils down to corporate greed. I mean, at the essence, you've got all these car companies who have been feasting on American consumers for quite some time, for the last couple of years. Here's Stellantis as an example all the way back to 2016 when they were kind of flat and then right there 2018 blows up. Obviously, we saw the impact on the markets and then just this continued climb of Stellantis stock price. Now, part of that has been just because obviously car sales have continued. So his point of that wages are too high, that this is causing a lot of disarray within the market, there's an alternative to that as well. Let's go to this next clip, because Biden, actually, it's an article here, Biden actually responded to a little bit of this issue around the UAW. Remember, he's very pro -union, but his statement was he asked if he supported the 40 percent increase on the union and asked for it. He said, hey, listen, it's it's really more of a bargaining chip, really, than anything. And I would agree, you know, because it's kind of you ask for the highest amount you can and then you settle in with where it may end up. And I think that's what Stellantis is going to end up doing here as we go further. Remember, the key here with think is if you are very pro and I'm pro capitalist guys, don't get me wrong, but if you're a super capitalist, meaning you are absolutely just wanting to run amok within corporate greed, then you do want a lot of immigrants coming into the country and you want these kinds of mainly from just an optics standpoint, because it does start to put pressure on American workers. And I think that's the thing that everybody is looking at is how do we keep job wages low? And when I say everyone, meaning these capitalists that are really pushing at this. So this gets into some pretty big issues right here, even though he's asking for more immigration. I want to play this next clip to show you just kind of where immigration currently is. Let's listen in. In just one week, they came by the thousands, group after group after group of migrants streaming into Eagle Pass, Texas, prompting the border town to declare a state of emergency and straining the nation's immigration system. Again, the Border Patrol encountered a record two point two million people crossing the border illegally. The numbers went down a bit in the fiscal year ending this month, but are still high. Anybody that thinks this is a secure border is delusional. And this is something you see every day. All right. So as you can see there, does it look like we're restricting immigration at all? I think his point is really, really more toward the whole idea of, you know, higher wages being pressured, getting into that side of it. All right. So let's get into this next clip that talks about the recession and whether or not it's going to be bad, good, all that good stuff. Listen to what he had to say. Does that mean we are headed for a recession right now? I think we're going to see some economies enter recessions early. Which ones would that be? Well, I think Europe is more sensitive to the ones that are more sensitive to this elevated interest rates. Whatever the recessions we're going to have, they're going to be quite modest. So I'm not even that fearful. In many areas, you may need a recession to bring down labor demand. All right, so again, back to the point he's talking about, that's profitability and a lot of companies, once you bring down labor demand, that's one of the biggest issues there. He also gets into the point of what could be the catalyst to cause longer, a longer recession play into this. Here's what he had to say. So throughout history of U .S. growth slowdowns, we have underestimated every single one of them. Are you confident we're not making that same mistake again? If fear becomes worse, then consumers pull back and the recessions are going to become more protracted. We have elections in so many places in the world. We are going to have many political candidates who are going to provide a lot of fear. I think the political winner is the one who provides the most hope for the future or what people believe with the hope of the future. Do you see that, though? Do you see anyone projecting hope? I dearly hope so. I'm projecting hope. Larry for president? I don't know. No, I'm too young. I love that. All right, so I want to get into an area around reimagining bank lending, and this is where it starts to get into crypto or at least the underlying efforts of what he's thinking about crypto, because this is going to be kind of that format of how crypto will start to integrate into the banking system. Let's know what he had to say. We need to reimagine finance because of Dodd -Frank in the United States. Banks can't lend. And more of that, you know, the world doesn't want to get to the developing countries. They lend well, but clearly. All right, so obviously that's where, you know, stablecoins, DeFi, this starts to solve all those problems that we're going to be looking at around tokenized assets. I want to go to a clip here from Bankless asking really what's holding this back. Listen in to what they had to say in this interview. What you're buying today when you buy a stablecoin on the back end, it's cash and cash equivalents. That's an accounting term to say treasuries, repos and some cash in banks. The thing that is not like flowing through is the yield component. So you're getting a zero percent yield on your stablecoins today. So I started looking at someone has to have built something that solves this problem and no one had. The big challenge here is how do you bridge these two worlds, giving clarity on the real world asset side? So someone has to hold a treasury, a treasury bill, and that person was buying those treasury bills. At small scale, you can buy, but if you're starting to buy anything at meaningful scale, you have to show where the money came from and that where the money came from, the compliance AMLKYC component was hard to do. So we said, OK, if we want to offer this, you have to be regulated to do this at scale. And that is the biggest challenge that everyone in this industry faces is how do you answer that regulatory or legal structure in question? It sounds like what you're trying to build is the largest pipe possible between the government, United States government, risk free rate and DeFi. And right now you're saying that this pipe is actually constrained by our current stablecoin paradigm, the current meta of stablecoins, because you go through it vanilla dollars first when really you can just go more, let's get right to the punchline of this whole thing, which is like, let's take the yield of the risk free rate and get it into DeFi.

Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from Week in Review - Episode 25
"Time for the Mike Gallagher Show week in review podcast. We're glad you could join us. Boy, what a week it was. The debate, the craziness, the New York City judge trying to crush the Trump organization, keeping Trump from ever conducting business in New York ever again. Number of media outlets conducted polls. The results don't look really good for President Biden. Even the media outlets could hardly believe their own results. Washington Post ABC poll came out over the weekend. Has Trump beating Biden by 10 points? 52 to 42 percent among registered voters in a hypothetical 2024 national matchup. Now, the Washington Post says, oh, this poll is an outlier. Well, the truth is there's no national election. What matters are the other swing states. We know that we understand that the NBC poll has Trump and Biden tied. I think what's important to remember is almost no national poll has Trump getting significantly beat by Joe Biden. Are they all lying? Are they all making it up? Is it all are they all outliers? And make no mistake, they are melting down, man. They are freaking out over this poll. Here's ABC's. And you know, it's tough because you got both the Washington Post and ABC, these two huge legacy media outlets having to distance themselves in a way from their own poll. Here's ABC's Rick Klein talking to Martha Raddatz over the weekend about the staggering bad news for Joe Biden in this poll. Martha, these numbers are simply staggering for the sitting president. 44 percent of people in this poll say they are not as well off as they were at the start of the Biden administration two and a half years ago. Those are the worst numbers that we've seen in our ABC News Washington Post polling. It's a question we've been asking going back to the Reagan administration. And when you when you dive into the big questions around the economy, we know President Biden has been out there trying to make the case. Unemployment is low. He's been talking about how inflation has been easing, but people aren't buying it. You covered some of the reasons why. Gas prices, food prices, grocery prices and like right now on the big picture on the economy, 74 percent of the country, that's about three quarters of Americans who say the economy is either not so good or downright poor. Now, of all the things I get angry about, the illegal immigration crisis that we have in America right now is infuriating because this is a crisis of the Democrats making and they have the gall. They've got the nerve. They have the audacity to pretend it's not their fault. When you screech about open borders, when you brag about being a sanctuary city and suddenly we face a crisis of thousands and thousands and thousands of illegals entering this country.

A highlight from 1415: Bitcoin Will Soon Hit $500,000 - Winklevoss Twins
"Welcome everybody to Crypto News Alerts, the number one daily Bitcoin pod. In today's show, I'll be breaking down the latest Bitcoin technical analysis as Bitcoin recaptures $27 ,000 and quoting Max Keiser, the high priest of Bitcoin, Bitcoin is the North Star guiding to the only safe haven asset in the world that protects against inflation, confiscation and censorship preach. Also in today's show, Ethereum futures ETFs can start trading as early as next week. According to top Bloomberg analysts, we'll also be discussing the SEC pushing back the deadline for spot Bitcoin ETF apps, definitely not a good look. And speaking of ETF apps, I'm also going to be sharing the five highlights of Gary Gensler's evasive testimony before Congress quoting Senator Warren Davidson. Gary Gensler's tenure at the SEC highlights two key problems. Number one, Gary Gensler's problem and number two, the SEC's structural problem. That's why I introduced the SEC Stabilization Act to fire Gary Gensler and restructure the SEC. Let's freaking go. Also in today's show, crypto analyst Michal van de Poppe predicts a very positive quarter four for 2023. I'll be sharing his targets in which he outlines. We're also going to be discussing the SEC's inaction on the spot Bitcoin ETF is a complete and utter disaster, according to the Winklevoss twins. And speaking of the Winklevoss twins, I'm also going to be sharing with you their $500 ,000 Bitcoin price prediction, which they say is coming soon. We'll also be taking a look at the overall crypto market. All this plus so much more in today's show. Yo what's good crypto fam? This is first and foremost, a video show. So if you want the full premium experience with video, visit my YouTube channel at cryptonewsalerts .net. Again that's cryptonewsalerts .net. Welcome everyone. This is pod episode number 1415. I'm your host JV. Today is September 28, 2023 and Bitcoin is finally back above 27 ,000 as we're pumping right when I hit the live button. We're currently above 27 ,100 up over 300 % today and we continue climbing. Welcome everyone in the live chat. I gracefully appreciate y 'all. Yeah, who knows? Maybe we'll hit 28 ,000 by the time today's live stream is over. Let's see. And make sure to let me know where you're tuning in from in that live chat as I'll be giving everyone a shout out towards the end of the show. And with that being shared, fam, now let's dive into today's market watch. As you can see here, every major crypto back in the green. Bitcoin above 27 G's. We got Ether up three and a half percent trading at $1 ,655 BNB, XRP, Cardano, you name it. And checking out coinmarketcap .com, we're currently sitting above $1 .07 trillion with about $26 billion in volume in the past 24 hours, Bitcoin dominance at 49 .1 % and even the Ether dominance on the rise today at 18 .5 % and checking out the top 100 crypto gainers of the past 24 hours, holy moly, compound up 20 % trading under 49 bucks, followed by Thor chain up 13 % trading at $1 .94, followed by Lido Dow up 8 % trading at $1 .59 and checking out the top 100 crypto gainers of the past week, massive gains, which we love to see, especially after a pretty bearish altcoin season to say the least. We got CompLead in the pack here as well up 20 % and Rune up 13 .4 % and RLB up 13 % and checking out the crypto greed and fear index, we're currently rated a 46 in fear yesterday at 44 last week, a 47 and last month, a 39 in fear. So there you have it, fam. How many of you are currently bullish on Bitcoin and how many of you took advantage of the recent dip? If so, let me know. It's good to see we pump in once again. So hopefully those positions are now in the green. Now let's break down today's Bitcoin technical analysis, check out the charts and why specifically the market is pumping right now. Here we go. Let's get it. Bitcoin hit new weekly highs after the September 28th Wall Street open as markets awaited fresh cues from the US Federal Reserve. And here you can see in the Bitcoin one hour Campbell chart, pretty freaking bullish to say the least. Data from Cointelegraph and TradingView showed Bitcoin price strength staging a comeback, having delivered what some referred to as a classic pump and dump 24 hours prior during the performance. Bitcoin hit a high of 26 .8, which appeared on Bitstamp as a result of 2 % daily gains before Bitcoin retraced all of its progress, then a slower grind higher than took hold with the bulls edging closer to 27 ,000, which we finally just recaptured here a few moments ago. Now GDP for quarter two grew by 1 .7 % year on year below the projected 2%, while the PCE index data for August came in in line with the expectations, quoting analyst Keith Allen, bring on the volatility. Now meanwhile, data from Binance's order book uploaded by Allen showed little by way of resistance standing in the way of the spot price under the 27 ,000 mark. So as you can see, just more bullishness for the king crypto, the macro data constituted just the prelude of the day's main event. Meanwhile, Jerome Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve due to the comment later on today, Powell, whose recent words failed to deliver noticeable volatility to the crypto markets was due to speak at the Fed's conversation with the chairman, a teacher town hall meeting event in Washington DC at 4 p .m. Eastern today. Now commenting on the state of play on Bitcoin markets, popular trader Dan crypto trades was a little more optimistic around the strength of the day's move compared to yesterday, September 27th, quoting him here back to yesterday's highs, but with considerably less open interests. No doubt there is longs chase in here, but it is less frothy than it was yesterday. Would still like to see longs chill out and not get to a full retrace later on. So there you have it. Let me know if you agree or disagree with the analysts. Meanwhile, quoting another analyst, right, capital Bitcoin is right back at the bull market support band cluster of moving averages, challenging to break out beyond them. Let's freaking go. Now, elsewhere in the day's analysis, he acknowledged that 29 ,000 could make a reappearance and still form a part of a broader come down for BTC. As he shares here, it's important to remember the Bitcoin could technically rally even as high as 29 ,000 to form a new lower high, which would be phase A and B. He explained alongside this chart. So there you have it. Let me know if you are currently more bullish or bearish on the King crypto and quoting the high priest of Bitcoin, Max Kaiser, Bitcoin is the North star guiding to the only safe haven asset in the world that protects against inflation confiscation and censorship preach. Now welcome to y 'all just joining us in today's podcast. As always, I appreciate everyone's daily support and means the world. And now let's discuss our next story of the day as Bitcoin continues to pump, shall we? We're going to be discussing the Ethereum futures ETFs, which can get approval. They say potentially as early as next week. So let's break this one down, shall we? Ether futures ETFs could start trading for the first time in the United States as early as next week. According to top Bloomberg analysts on September 28th, which is today, Bloomberg intelligence analyst, James Safart said in an ex post, it was looking like the sec is going to let a bunch of Ethereum futures ETFs go next week. Potentially. His comments were in response to fellow ETF analyst, Eric Balchunes, who said he was hearing that the U S SCC wanted to accelerate the launch of Ethereum future ETFs quitting him here. They want it off their plate before the shutdown, he said, adding that he's heard various filers updates on their documents by Friday afternoon so they can start trading as early as Tuesday next week. As outlined here on X. Now the U S S government's expected to shut down at 1201 a .m. Eastern on October 1st. If Congress fails to agree on or provide funding for the new fiscal year, which is expected to impact the country's financial regulators amongst federal agencies. Now neither specified their sources for the latest update on the long list of crypto ETFs in the queue. There are currently 15 ether futures ETFs from nine issuers currently awaiting approval. According to the analysts in a September 27th note, which is yesterday, companies proposing an Ethereum futures or hybrid ETF product include VanEck pro shares, grayscale volatility shares bitwise direction, as well as round Hill. The analysts gave ether future ETFs a 90 % chance of launching in October with Valkyrie's ether exposure on October 3rd, quoting them here. We expect pure Ethereum futures ETFs to start trading the following week, thanks to volatility shares actions. However, we don't expect all of them to launch. So do note that now as previously reported that ether futures ETFs may be approved in October causing the 11 % spike in ether prices and probably why the Ethereum dominance is up as it's been stagnant and down for quite some time. Ether prices are on the gain, currently just under $1 ,700 and we'll see how high we continue to pump, but do note crypto future products aren't as hotly as anticipated as their spot based alternatives. There are already been Bitcoin futures ETFs approved in the United States since 2021, which is a fact, which leads us to the million dollar question. Why have they approved a futures ETFs, but continue to deny and delay all the spot ETFs? We're going to be getting to that a little later as I share with you the highlights from Congress pressing the chairman of the SEC, Gary Gensler. It's going to get very interesting here in a little bit, but now let's dive a little deeper and discuss specifically the spot Bitcoin ETFs and what is happening and why they're being pushed back and the latest updates of where we're currently at. So here we go and welcome y 'all just tuning in. Make sure to smash that like fam. The US SEC has delayed deciding whether to approve or disapprove spot Ether ETFs. And like I said, we're going to be getting in October potentially get some approvals, but in separate notices filed September 27th, the SEC said it would designate a longer period on whether to approve or disapprove these proposed changes. The commission finds it inappropriate to designate a longer period within which to take action on the proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change and the issues raised there within. The delay came the same day as the NASDAQ market filed the proposed rule change with the SEC for listing its mix ETH basically ETF, a combination of Ether holdings and futures contracts and also proposed rule changes with the New York Stock Exchange, ARCA for the Grayscale Ethereum Futures Trust, hashtag Bitcoin Futures ETF and the CBOE BXE exchange for the Franklin Bitcoin ETF were all filed. September 27th, that's right. If you're not familiar with Franklin Templeton, there are one and a half trillion dollar asset manager. They're also applying for an ETF. Now the SEC announced September 26th, it would designate a longer period to decide on these spot ETF applications. And as James Safart shares here, here's VanEx delay as expected. So another one, I mean, exactly what we were expecting from the SEC. Now in August, ARK investment manager, founder and CEO Kathy Wood speculated that should the SEC move forward with the spot ETF approvals, it would allow multiple listings simultaneously to avoid giving any single company an advantage over another in the market. Her remarks came before Grayscale Investments won a court battle with the SEC over its spot Bitcoin ETF app, which will likely be reviewed in which they're trying to turn their GBTC product into a spot ETF. So hopefully it happens. To date, the SEC has never approved the spot crypto ETF in the United States, but has allowed the listing of crypto linked futures ETFs and a leveraged Bitcoin futures ETF. Manipulation, fam. The next deadlines for the spot crypto ETF apps from firms, which include the largest asset manager in the world, BlackRock, Wisdom Tree, Invesco, Galaxy, Valkyrie, Bitwise and Fidelity are all scheduled for October. So we'll see how this is likely to play out considering October is now only three days away. Are we going to get some ETF approvals by then? Who knows? I think more than likely they're going to push it back again. However, Congress right now is pressing Gary Gensler to approve a spot Bitcoin ETF and ETPs immediately. So now let's break this down. If you missed Gensler, he was pressed by Congress just yesterday. And I know it's on everyone's mind. So let's break down some of the highlights from this recent hearing with Congress and the chairman of the SEC, Gary Gensler. Let's break it down, shall we? Here we go. Blame for kneecapping capital markets in the U .S. and slam for dodging questions around Bitcoin and Pokemon cards. SEC chair Gensler appears to have had one hell of a grilling from Congress this week. September 27th, the U .S. SEC chief again found himself in front of lawmakers in a scheduled hearing to discuss his agency's oversight of the markets. Here are some of the highlights. First and foremost, you are the Tonya Harding of security regulations. We should create a Gary Gensler diss track, right? One of the more colorful analogies came from U .S. Representative Andy Barr, who accused Gensler of kneecapping the U .S. capital markets with regulatory red tape. Barr referred to the old testimony from Gensler where Gensler argued that the U .S. is the largest, most sophisticated and innovative capital market in the world and that shouldn't have been taken for granted as even gold medalists must keep training. With all due respect, Mr. Chairman, if the U .S. capital markets are gold medalists, you are the Tonya Harding of securities regulations. Ouch. You are kneecapping the U .S. capital markets with an avalanche of red tape coming out of your commission. Preach. Barr is presumably referring to a scandal where U .S. ice skater Tonya Harding, I'm sure you all remember the story, I was a kid when this happened, and an assailant to attack her rival Nancy Kerrigan in the lead up to the 94 U .S. Figure Skating Championships and Winter Olympics. Kerrigan ended up not competing in the U .S. Championships and here is John Dickens who shared it here. Mr. Barr to Gensler, it's hilarious, you gotta watch these clips for yourself if you haven't seen them. So the next highlight, I wish the Biden administration would say, you are fired. That's right, shout out to Warren Davidson who also ripped into Gensler saying he hoped that the Biden administration would fire him. Powerful words. Davidson accused Gensler of pushing a woke political and social agenda and abusing his role as the SEC chairman. Preach. Massive shout out to the senators here doing their job. Damn good job. The U .S. Representative added that he hopes that the SEC Stabilization Act he introduced with fellow representative Tom Emmer could make it happen. Quoting him here, you're making the case for this bill, which is the SEC Stabilization Act. Every day you're acting as a chairman, he concluded, and Gensler wasn't even given a chance to respond. Now next highlight, Gensler reiterates Bitcoin isn't a security. That's right. When asked by U .S. House Committee Financial Services Chair Patrick McHenry whether Bitcoin is a security, Gensler eventually relented stating the Bitcoin didn't meet the Howie test. Quoting him here, it does not meet the Howie test, which is the law of the land. Then McHenry suggested Bitcoin must be a commodity, which Gensler avoided answering. Mr. No Clarity Gary, hence how he got the nickname, saying the test for that is outside the scope of U .S. security laws. Mr. Gensler, we're living in a clown world with this guy. Henry also suggested that Gensler try to choke off the digital asset ecosystem facts and refuse to be transparent with Congress about the SEC's connections with the FTX and former CEO SBF facts. Gensler also wasn't given the chance to respond to the claims made by McHenry. Next highlight, are Pokemon trading card securities? Gensler says it depends. Can't make this stuff up. Quoting Representative Richie Torres, I cross -examine SEC Chair Gensler about the term investment contract, which is key to determining his authority over crypto. Gensler struggled to answer basic questions like whether an investment contract requires a contract. His evasions are defeating and damning. Suppose I was to purchase Pokemon card. Would you constitute a security for this transaction? Gensler responded, well, I don't know the context before eventually concluding it isn't a security if you purchased it in a store. And then Torres asked if I were to purchase a tokenized Pokemon card on a digital exchange via the blockchain. Is that then a transaction? And then Mr. No Clarity Gary said, I'd have to know more because I don't know anything. Yeah, you can't make this stuff up. Gensler then explained to it when it's investing the public can anticipate profits based upon the efforts of others. Then the core of the Howie test, which it is, Torres called Gensler's evasions as damning to say the least. And the next highlight, a sign of defiance. Meanwhile, amongst the back and forth cross examinations between Gensler and representatives, the eagle eyed observers noticed a Coinbase stand with crypto logo behind the SEC chairman. Isn't that interesting? The Coinbase led initiative is a 14 month long campaign that launched back in August aiming to push crypto legislation in the United States. Coinbase also ran a stand with crypto day, which took place in Washington, D .C. September 27th to advocate for better cryptocurrency innovation and policy. So again, shout out to Warren Davidson, Tom Emmer, all the senators for holding Gary Gensler accountable. Hopefully they do something about it. What's your thoughts, fam? Do you think Gary is likely to listen to them and follow their instructions and approve a Bitcoin ETF immediately? Or do you think he'll continue kicking the can down the road as long as possible until he leaves his position as the chairman of the SEC? Let me know your honest thoughts in the comments right down below. Now let's break down the latest prediction coming from crypto analyst Michael Vanay Pop for some price actions for Bitcoin for the fourth quarter, which we are currently in for 2023. Then we'll break down the latest from the Winklevoss twins and their five hundred thousand dollar Bitcoin price action as the price action of Bitcoin continues to pump, baby. Let's go. Here we go. Let's break this baby down. Crypto trader Michael Vanay Pop is expressing bullish sentiment on Bitcoin in the coming months. Despite the recent struggles in a new video, he says that Bitcoin is on the cusp of reaching levels that offer accumulation opportunities per inch. According to the analyst, the trader Bitcoin could subsequently start an uptrend. Ultimately, Bitcoin is into an area of consolidation here, which makes it very likely we're going to have to retest here at twenty five, six and twenty five eight. If we are having a recess in that region, then there is this zone where I want to start buying my entries because of the recess, which is the ultimate recess. And if we're not going to get that, the flip to twenty six thousand five hundred, that is going to be the area where I think I want to activate my positions as well. And then we can start targeting twenty eight thousand. And then we can also start targeting the higher numbers, thirty thousand dollars plus or even more in the projection of quarter four. That is going to be very positive overall. Let me know if you agree that we'll have an overall positive quarter as we about to enter October. Let's go. Vanay Pop also says Bitcoin's current price action is similar to what was witnessed in the prior pre halving year, quitting him again. As long as we stay above the 200 week exponential moving average, we most likely are going to continue to the upside. And it starts to be very comparable to the period that we witnessed in 2015 and 2016. In this case, we needed it, but we started to consolidate and start to trend up afterwards. It is very likely to this period to slowly but surely the price starts to crawl up. And then we are going to have a case of the upside in the markets overall. And to watch this video analysis, the analyst did check the show notes below the video in the description. It's entitled Bitcoin price. I am looking to buy. So there you have it. And let me know if you agree or disagree with the analysts and are you currently bullish on the King crypto or do you think we're going to dip and test the lower levels? Let me know your honest thoughts, fam. And now let's break down our next story of the day. And the Winklevoss twins on the spot, Bitcoin ETF continuously being basically denied and kicked back and pushed back for the past decade. And then we're going to dive into their half a million dollar Bitcoin price prediction and why they're so confident that the Bitcoin price is going to hit their big target. So here we go. Let's discuss them with the SEC first. This was a story which was, let's see when their tweet was actually, let's scroll down. This is Cameron Winklevoss. This was actually on July 1st, it got 1 .1 million views. Now let me read the tweet. Today marks 10 years since Tyler and I filed for the first spot Bitcoin ETF. That's right. Over a decade ago, the SEC governor's refusal to approve these products for a decade has been a complete and utter disaster for US investors and demonstrates how the SEC is a failed regulator. Here's why. They protected investors from the best performing asset of the last decade. They pushed investors into toxic products like the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, GBTC, which trades at a massive discount to NAV and charges astronomical fees. They pushed spot Bitcoin activity offshore to unlicensed and unregulated venues. They pushed investors into the arms of FTX, subjecting them to one of the largest financial frauds in modern history. Preach. Maybe the SEC will reflect on its dismal record and instead of overstepping a statutory power and trying to act like a gatekeeper of economic life, it'll focus on fulfilling its mandate of investor protection, fostering fair and orderly markets and facilitating capital formation. This would have led to much better outcomes for US investors. Preach. In the meantime, best of luck to all those fighting the good fight to bring the US spot Bitcoin ETFs to life onwards. So much respect. I mean, 10 years of denying this ETF. I mean, you can't make this stuff up. I think they shared perfectly some of the reasoning. It's to hurt the investors and keep you poor and keep you wrecked and keep you desolate and dependent upon a broken government that threw us overboard so frickin long ago. So much respect to the Winklevoss twins. If you didn't know, they're the owners of the Gemini exchange and they were the very first ever to submit the spot Bitcoin ETF app to the SEC over a decade ago. And obviously they're sick and tired of Gary Gensler, his no clarity and his shenanigans. Just like the rest of us, it's time to fire Gensler. If you think Gensler should be investigated and potentially fired, let me know in the comments right down below and I'll be reading your comments out loud here in a little bit. Now for our breaking story of the day, let's discuss the Winklevoss twins and their case for a $500 ,000 Bitcoin price, which they believe is coming soon. So let's break this down, shall we? And welcome to y 'all just joining us in the live chat. Much love and much respect. So here we go. Winklevoss twins' prediction, Bitcoin will soon hit $500 ,000 per coin. And why? And again, shout out to Tyler and Cameron. Let's get, we already know their background, early Bitcoin investors, OGs, early investors as well with Facebook. Some claim that they're the real creators of Facebook and Zuckerberg stole it. But nonetheless, in a recent interview with the National News, the twins explained they remain convinced of the future of crypto. The main reason is the revolutionary and technical properties as well as the potential of Bitcoin to act as a store of value similar to gold. And in addition, crypto has many other advantages, mainly through programmability. Hence, the Winklevoss brothers believe that Bitcoin could even replace the precious metal. In the long term, Tyler Winklevoss shared the following. If you look at the properties that make gold valuable, Bitcoin matches each attribute or does better. The gold disruption story of Bitcoin is super powerful. We believe in it. Tyler Winklevoss explained his reasoning for the $500 ,000 Bitcoin price action, quitting him here. If you do the math, 21 million in the supply of Bitcoin, the market cap of gold, let's say it's 10 trillion, maybe it's 11 trillion, somewhere in that ballpark, that puts one Bitcoin if it disrupts gold and gets that market cap at $500 ,000 per coin. The two brothers did not want to give specific investment tips. However, Cameron reveals the strategy that they use, which is generally the simplest, which is simply HODL. Hold on for dear life, quitting him here. Generally speaking, if you subscribe to Bitcoin being a store of value type investment, then that strategy is HODL. The same way you would HODL gold is you buy and HODL long term investments. So according to the Winklevoss twins predicting the Bitcoin price will hit $500 ,000, they say predictions are difficult, but they believe that Bitcoin will hit the milestone within a decade. And when they were more recently interviewed and asked, where do you see Bitcoin in five years time? Here's what Cameron Winklevoss responded. We usually take a decade view on it. When we wrote a piece on the value that predicted it being $500 ,000 Bitcoin, we said within the decade. And I believe they wrote that in 2020. So they're basically saying by the year 2030, they're anticipating a $500 ,000 plus Bitcoin price with Bitcoin overtaking that of gold as far as the market cap. Now is that in three years from now or nine years? The timing part is hard, but I think the Bitcoin created $1 trillion worth of value in under a decade. That is fact. I believe back in November of 2021, Bitcoin's market cap surpassed a trillion dollar milestone and the total crypto market cap surpassed $3 trillion. But as of today, we're closer to a $500 billion Bitcoin market cap with the entire crypto market cap down to a trillion. Now, it also spawned many huge productions such as Ethereum and the entire asset class. He continues. If you look at the value increases in Bitcoin, it is this punctuated equilibrium where it is steady, steady, steady, and then boom, it reaches a new price level. This is the new normal. So it can happen very quickly. So there you have it, fam. Ultimately saying when Bitcoin takes off, it explodes quick and vast. And especially considering that two of the most bullish catalysts in Bitcoin history were on the cusp of. Six months away from a Bitcoin halving, we all know the Bitcoin cycles every four years, it drives the Bitcoin price up as it increases the scarcity as well as increase demand, basic stock to flow, numbers must go up. And we also have the approval of a Bitcoin ETF likely to take place in 2024, especially with Congress on Gensler's. But we also have the ETF experts such as Eric Balchunes given a 95 % chance probability that a spot Bitcoin ETF likely get approved in 2024. Those two catalysts will absolutely make Bitcoin rip to new all time highs entering price discovery mode like we have never seen before. So how high do you think the Bitcoin price will likely climb by the time of this next halving? Roughly six months out, scheduled to take place sometime in April of next year.

A highlight from MARKETS DAILY: Crypto Update | SEC Chair Faces Harsh Questions as Ether Spot ETF Proposals Hit Delays
"This episode of Markets Daily is sponsored by Kraken. It's Thursday, September 28th, 2023, and this is Markets Daily from CoinDesk. My name is Noelle Acheson, CoinDesk collaborator and author of the Crypto's Macro Noun newsletter on Substack. On today's show, we're talking about Ether ETFs, SEC confusion, and more. So you don't miss an episode. Be sure to follow the podcast on your platform of choice. And just a reminder, CoinDesk is a news source and does not provide investment advice. Now, a markets roundup. Well, Bitcoin has been busy over the past 24 hours. After that nice run -up yesterday that I thought was a sign of strong investor support, the Bitcoin price rapidly fell back down again. It has been climbing since, however. At 10 a .m. Eastern time, it was more or less flat, trading at $26 ,532. Depending on what happens over the next couple of days, Bitcoin could break the trend of negative performance in September. The ninth month is typically a weak one for crypto's leading asset, delivering negative returns over the past six Septembers. Bitcoin's average performance for the month is almost negative 5%. As of this morning, however, the asset price is up more than 2 % month to date. That kind of a break in the trend would be welcome news. In Ether, interesting things are happening. Like Bitcoin, it climbed yesterday and then fell back, only to start climbing again, but with a more consistent slope, suggesting a steadier over the past 24 hours. Relative to Bitcoin, Ether has notably outperformed over the past week, climbing two tenths of a percent versus Bitcoin's drop of 2 .3%. This could be due to the likely listing next week of the first Ether futures ETFs, which could boost demand and market volume. I'll talk more about this in a moment. In traditional markets, US stocks closed more less flat yesterday, rising in the second half to recover early losses. Over the past 10 days, the S &P 500 is down more than 4 .3%, the steepest 10 -day drop since March. You may remember that March was banking stress month. Investors are rattled by the surge in 10 -year Treasury yields, which yesterday rose above 4 .6 % for the first time since October 2007. The rising rates are investors for three main reasons. One, there's the patterns last seen just before the great financial crisis of 2007 -2008. Two, there's also the impact on company earnings. An article in the Financial Times this morning pointed out that interest expenses for the S &P 600 small cap index hit a record high in the latest batch of second quarter earnings. And 30 % of companies in the S &P 500 are now trading at a higher rate. Reason three, there's the message the market is sending. This is that it expects rates to remain higher for longer. This is likely to keep the dollar strong and inflict more pain on global markets. In Europe, stock indices have been taking a breather from their recent drops, with most showing moderate gains so far today. Over the past month, however, the Euro Stoxx 50, which tracks Eurozone blue chips, is down over 4 .3%. An index of Eurozone economic sentiment released this morning showed a fifth consecutive monthly drop in September. Inflation expectations rose. In commodities, oil prices continued their climb in the face of fears of supply shortages. The Brent crude benchmark rose above $96 per barrel for the first time this year this morning and is now almost 6 .5 % above its level a year ago. However, the market is signalling that this could abate soon. The prices of futures contracts six months out is lower. This suggests a scramble for spot delivery. In other words, oil now and not later. This has been most likely triggered by reports of reserve drawdowns in the US and the need in many areas to build up stocks as winter approaches. Moving over to gold, after a brief attempt at a recovery earlier today, gold slumped back to its support at $1 ,874 per ounce. Like Bitcoin, gold is holding up surprisingly well given the strength of the dollar and of real yields, which are yields adjusted for inflation. Gold normally moves inversely to real yields. When these are high, gold is less attractive as it doesn't produce an income. As measured by the 10 -year Treasury inflation -protected securities, real yields are at their highest since 2009. The last time they were at these levels, gold was roughly half the price it is today. One key macro data point to watch out for is the US Personal Consumption Expenditures Index, or the PCE. This is the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge as it measures goods and services bought by all US households and non -profits, while the CPI only measures purchases by urban households. Tomorrow morning Eastern Time, we get the latest data for August expected to show an uptick. This will largely be due to higher energy prices. Stripping out higher energy and food prices gives us the core PCE index growth, which is what the Fed focuses on. This is forecast to show a continued downtrend. Remember, though, that August's core CPI grew by slightly more month -on -month than expected, so there may be a negative surprise tomorrow as well. This will be relevant for interest rate expectations. Stubborn inflation means that rates will remain, and you've heard this before, higher for longer. Stay tuned, after the break we'll take a look at more SEC frustration and at the likely listing of Ether futures ETFs.

A highlight from Generative AI News This Week - Cloud Wars and LLMs, NVIDIA Revenue, Mailchimp, Hubspot, Intuit, Zoom, OpenAI, and More - Voicebot Podcast Ep 350
"This is episode 350 of the Voicebot Podcast. For this week's generative AI news rundown, we have the AI cloud wars, Nvidia's stellar revenue ramp, HubSpot, MailChimp, OpenAI, Telefonica, and more. Hello, Voicebot Nation and my friends from Synthetia. I'm Brett Kinsella, your host of the Voicebot Podcast. This week's generative AI news packs a punch and hopefully sheds some light on how fast this industry is evolving. I'm joined again this week by my colleague, Eric Schwartz, the head writer for Voicebot .ai. Here is the generative AI news rundown. We start out with a breakdown of Nvidia's blowout revenue numbers. This story is pretty interesting when you consider how transformational the last two quarters have been for the company and even bigger expectations for next quarter. Eric and I then walk through Synthetia's analysis of how the cloud wars are influencing and shaping the LM battles raging among the foundation model builders. I think you're going to like that. We also hit on the new Falcon 180B, so that's 180 billion parameter, LLM from TII. The new generative AI features from eBay, HubSpot, Intuit, and Zoom, and we talk about Apple sort of. We have funding stories from Contact AI and Ello, and we finish up with OpenAI's first developer conference, and of course, the generative AI winners and losers of the week. Next up, chips, clouds, LLMs, enterprise apps collide with generative AI and a bit more. Let's get started.

Andrew, how are you? I'm good. How you doing, Jimmy? I'm good. I just realized I didn't put my phone on do not disturb. So I'm going to do that as we speak. And I'm going to let you know that I had a reader last week for my mailbag column on S .I. com, send it an email and said, when is Marchand's next appearance? So here we go. You made someone happy. Thank you that person. You made someone happy by coming on today. Let's start with this. A lot of media news to get to. Have you heard anything from ESPN or do you have any intel about how they feel about the last two weeks? How the staggered Monday Night Football doubleheader has gone? Because I've gotten a lot of emails and tweets about it. I'm sure you have as well. Yeah, I haven't talked to anybody specifically about how they feel about it. I mean, it is an NFL decision. ESPN is not in control of how those games are scheduled. Maybe they have some say, but it's the NFL decision. Yeah, I don't like it. Actually, in our podcast with John, it was my who's down this week. And the reason I just feel like I kind of said this on our part, it's too it's like having two quarterbacks and you have none. Right. And now if you have Joe Montana and Steve Young, there are two awesome games. Maybe that'd be better. But I just find my attention split and I don't know. And even at like halftime, I wouldn't recommend you go to the other game. Like I get what they're trying to do there, but it's not the NCAA tournament. And usually it's in like the second quarter, third quarter. So I personally don't think it really works that well. Now, I think they want to avoid I'm not positive, but I think they want to avoid that 10 30 late window. We used to get the Monday night and you get the, you know, crazy crew, either Chris Berman or Golick and Greenberg, you know, some of those crews back in the day. They probably don't want that late night game where, you know, you're losing that East Coast audience if it gets too late. But I don't know. I don't think this necessarily works. See, I like it. And what are the tweet? What are the tweeters say? Most people seem to not like it. Yeah. And why do you like it? The more the merrier. Give me as much football as possible. If I can watch eight games at one o 'clock on Sunday and four or five games at four o 'clock on Sunday, I can handle two games on Monday night. So, you know, I have two TVs. I put one game on each TV and two is better than one for me. That's just how I feel. Yeah, I've been a little running around these last couple of Mondays when this happened. So I may be a little bit, you know, my opinion skewed a little bit by that. It hasn't just been like I'm just chilling and watching, been running around a little bit. So perhaps that's, you know, maybe I could be swayed. I will say, you know, I don't know. This is a whole separate discussion. I would love to know your take on this, but I always feel like it's a little tough sometimes to criticize people in this podcast when I also have to book this podcast. So I try to be careful. Yeah, I notice you're very soft. That's what you're trying to say. Sometimes. So I'm sure this guy will never come on again, but they gotta do better than Chris Fowler on the secondary game. Just not, it's just not working. Chris is not a great play -by -player. Right. He was a great host, studio host. Can I say one thing? Yeah. He's on tremendous tennis. Like I watch the U .S. Open every single day. I think he's great on tennis. It's football where it's just something feels off. Well, tennis is also slower. And like you look at people who do really well at the slower sports. Like, you know, Jim Nantz is better than Chris Fowler, but Nantz is really his best thing is golf. And I think he's an OK NFL play -by -player. And at the end of his college basketball run, he was definitely, I don't know, OK is probably, you know, he was OK there as well. And I think if you look at Fowler and his history, now he's been doing play -by -play for a while now. And he has gotten better. Like when he first started on the number one crew, I mean, if I were covering it then, that would not, I probably would not have been that kind. Because he has gotten better, but it's not really good enough. And he's the rare case, I think with Herb Street, that Herb Street makes him better. Usually it's the play -by -player who makes the analyst better. And yeah, I think you're right. And I also think, you know, in fairness to Fowler, you know, ESPN put that crew together. They replaced Levy there and they had a year or two under their belt together as a team. And, you know, not the full team, but him and Riddick, Levy and Riddick, and then Jadolowski. And I think they kind of don't, they underestimate chemistry. It takes time to build it up. And so I think that hurts. And he just, he's a college guy too. It's hard just to come into the NFL. I know he, you know, he's talked how hard his schedule is with the U .S. Open. And then, you know, doing a game a couple days later. And then doing a college. And so, you know, that's hard. And so, yeah, he's not a tremendous play -by -player. To me, this is just me, it felt like when ESPN gave him that gig, it was more about ESPN trying to impress the NFL. Like, look, we have our number one college game. Like you had said earlier, the secondary Monday night game for years was, you know, Golic and Greenberg and Chris Berman with a cast of character. Rich Ryan did it one year. I think this is ESPN trying to say to the NFL, because now they have a Super Bowl and they have this big contract. And, you know, they brought in Buck and Aikman. Like, we're serious, we're going to take our, regardless of what you think about Fowler, he's their lead college guy. So, I feel like they're like, oh, look at us, we're putting the lead when, you know, that. Yeah, I think they screwed up and I think they know they screwed up. I think that they ended up shifting who was in charge of the NFL. It was Stephanie Drewley. And they moved her off the NFL after, you know, I think that didn't help her cause in terms of staying on the NFL. I think they were satisfied with Levy. He was a good guy, which they value. After they brought in Joe Buck, he was very gracious. You know, Levy's a very good hockey guy, especially studio host. I thought he could have, you know, could have been the pregame show on Monday Night Football. He's in, again, not their, in my opinion, they had other people who are better play -by -players for football, but it was good. Like, so, yeah, I don't think it was to impress the NFL. They got Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. They got the Mannings. I mean, they spend, they're spending 50, 60 million dollars a year on their booths. Like, I don't think the second team booth is gonna, you know. If anything, I think it was, there was a thought before Buck and Aikman that Fallon and Herb Street might get the NFL. Might get Monday Night Football. Might get the potential Super Bowl. And then this is kind of a carrot since they didn't get it. But I'd argue, and I even talked to Chris Fowler about this. So, I don't know if this is the case. I just don't know if, I mean, Chris Fowler does the national championship. He does the biggest college game every week for Disney. I can't, like, I get it. Maybe he wanted to do NFL. But is this really gonna satisfy him because you're doing a second game, which generally aren't that great? I don't, I don't see that long -term, personally. And I think also, strategically, if I'm ESPN, I'm putting a young play -by -player. Now, Joe Buck, we both think it's great. Like, he and Ian Eagle are the best two play -by -players going right now. And, um, but, Joe Buck's contract's up in a couple of years. If I'm ESPN, and I, you know, I think they'll probably re -sign Joe Buck, and they should. That said, he makes a lot of money. And, you know, I would be saying, who can I develop? What young guy can I develop? So when I go into that negotiation, I really have somebody who's on the rise. And I can say, hey, look, you don't want this, you know, the 15 million a year? Then we'll go here, you know? But if you start demanding, I'm not saying this is going to happen, but, demanding even more and more money, I'd want an option. I don't think they've created an option. They've actually put somebody in that spot who they've already said they'd rather spend 15 million dollars on Joe Buck than have Chris Fowler as the lead play -by -player. So, I just think negotiation -wise, and strategically, in terms of saving money, it wasn't a great decision. Yeah. I don't understand the insistence on the three -person booth, either. They had Fowler, Greasy, and Riddick. Excuse me, excuse me. Levy, Riddick, Greasy. Now it's Fowler or Lofsky, Riddick. To me, that, and, Fowler's used to a two -person booth with Herb Street. They have Buck and Aikman, which is a two -person booth. I don't understand the insistence on the three -person booth. It's just, for football, it just, I don't get it, but, that's just my - It complicates, it over -complicates it. Yeah. And like you said, chemistry. I think it's much harder to develop a chemistry with three. I mean, you know, the local Mets situation is different with Gary Cohn, Ron Darl - Is it in baseball, is it football? What three men, can you name - I mean, I guess back in the old Monday Night Football days, there were three men booths that had - Yeah, Collinsworth and Aikman with Buck that one year. Yeah, one year it lasted, you know. So, I don't know. But, there's no more staggered double -headers. The next one is week 14, and both games will start at 8 -15. I think that's the one that's going to piss a lot of people off. But, that's a long way down the road. You got the two TVs. Yeah. I asked you if ESPN, how they feel about Monday Night Football. Anything you've heard about how they feel about their new partnership with Pat McAfee. I mean, it's early, but they're bullish on it. I mean, they've kind of handed the keys to the network to McAfee. I mean, you can't - it's kind of like Stephen A. now. You can't really turn on ESPN almost every day except basically Sunday without seeing Pat. And so, you know, I think initially the ratings weren't that good. I think they got a little better in terms of the TV ratings. I think that kind of makes some sense because if you think about it, he was a YouTube show. Yeah, he's got to play for TV. Yeah, and he's still a YouTube show. Well, it is a play for TV because they think that they had Max in there before. They think that the ratings will be high enough that they'll be able to charge more for the ad rates. I guarantee you the money they'll make off of McAfee on social media and YouTube will be 8 billion times more than the money they made off Max Kellerman on social media. Oh, 100%. No, you're right. No, you're right. There's no doubt about that. And look, they want to get, I will say this, like, does it work? I think a lot of times when companies make big moves, you know, big time moves, a lot of times they make those moves when the person's kind of towards the end, you know, they got McAfee on the rise. Like, you know, we, you know, you and I have been aware of McAfee for years now, but he's really like, you know, here, I don't think he's at the plateau, you know, where most people go up and then they plateau and then they go down. He's at, he's still, I think, going up and then maybe the plateau is on the horizon and you can plateau for 20, 25 years if you have the right attitude and personality and just have the right act. So that's where I think that makes a lot of sense as a bet because it's not, I'll hit one close to home, Rick Riley leaving ESPN. I mean, leaving SI for ESPN where, you know, Rick Riley is one of the great columnist ever, but at that point, you know, whatever, maybe it was the internet, I don't know exactly. It just didn't really work as well at ESPN as it did at SI. And so I just think they've done that and that's kind of, you know, teams do that in sports and I think sometimes networks do that. And so I feel like signing McAfee in his mid -30s is kind of like signing a baseball free agent who's in his mid -20s and I think that's what you want to do as opposed to getting a, signing a 35 -year -old and, you know, thinking they can still play, you know, like, I don't know, like a Josh Donaldson, maybe trading for someone like that, Jimmy. You see what I did there? I don't need reminders of the horrific Yankee season. I just did that on purpose. I don't need that. My head was going, who am I going to say? All right, yeah, Josh Donaldson, but it was a treat. Just a, yeah, you want me to say Brian Cashman should be fired. It's amazing too, they replay that. I didn't know this was going to be the situation going into it, but they replay the show as soon as it's over, I think, on ESPN 2 and then they replay it at night on maybe ESPN News or one of their, what you said about if you're going to put on one of the ESPNs at any point in the day, you're going to see Pat McAfee. Yeah. So that's good for him. Like I, you know, people feel like - But I also think, ESPN has to be, they have Aaron Rodgers on their air every week. It's a news making thing that's on their air every week. They've got Nick, he's got Nick Saban on his show every week. Yeah. That's a news making thing every week. I would think ESPN has to be, forget the numbers because the numbers, I think, will be there. It's still a new thing. You have, the ESPN audience is older, the McAfee audience is younger, it might take some, but I would think ESPN just on the brand and the cachet of that show has to be thrilled. I think so. I mean, but if you talk, like I have, again, I'll probably make some calls here in the near future, but so I haven't talked specifically with anybody about that. But generally speaking, when these things first start, everyone loves it. So then we'll see. Again, I'm not saying, I could see it either way. Like, you know, McAfee has not really stayed at any of these, throughout any of these contracts he's had. So that's something to watch. Maybe this one he does, but that hasn't been the case previously. So that is something. I think the fact that he's on game day has to help the relationship there a little bit with ESPN. Here's the thing about McAfee. If you're managing him, in my opinion, and it's like Casey Jones, the former coach of the Celtics, was known for just throwing out the ball and telling McHale, Parrish, and Bird to go play, Dennis Johnson. At least that's how I remember as a kid. That was his reputation. And I think McAfee is sort of like that. Just give him the ball, let him do his thing. He's not looking to, you know, for some strategy. Let's, you know, triangle offense. He's not looking for that. He's looking for, let me do my thing. I know what I'm doing. And the thing about McAfee is he's very smart. Like, I know he plays this, like, he's not smart thing. It works very hard. He works hard and he's very smart. He's very savvy. He acts as if, like, you know, maybe he's, you know, just a dumb jock. But he understands the media business very well. We need, we need to discuss the Kelsey Taylor Swift thing because I actually think it's a legitimate media story. If Fox is going to get these increase in their demographics of the female audience, the young people, the NFL has gone all in on this thing. I mean, they changed their Twitter header to, like, a Taylor Swift thing. They're putting out Travis Kelsey Swiftiest plays on their social media. He's gained, I guess, a ton of followers, the jersey sale. Let me start with this. How did you think Fox handled it on Sunday when she was in the stadium? Do you think they overdid it? Do you think the fact that they had an unwatchable game takes them off the hook? What was your take on the Chiefs -Bears on Sunday when she was there? I think the second part, and I wouldn't take them off the hook, but I think the second part, you have an unwatchable game that you had to switch most of the country out of because it was so non -competitive, that you have Taylor Swift there, it's a big deal. And, you know, there's a lot of Taylor Swift fans who are football fans, a lot of non -Taylor Swift fans who weren't watching that game, but it was a talking point, right? Like, I saw Taylor Swift in the concert this summer, but that was kind of - Look at you! Yeah, how do you like that? Look at you! You couldn't even get tickets. Big shot. Where'd you get tickets? My daughter's friend just won the lottery. No shenanigans. Oh, really? Tickets were $235 each, which is still a lot of money, but not, like, $1 ,000. And it was just kind of happenstance, how I ended up going. I was going to say, if your daughter's friend got tickets, how did you end up at the era's tour? I mean - Were you, like - It's just a long drive to get to the metal lands, didn't want them driving back. They're older, they can drive, but at, you know, one o 'clock in the morning from Taylor Swift, so - But you were in MetLife and watched the show. Yes. Friendship bracelets? Well, you want to know something funny? This is a good one. So, my daughter's friend said to me, do you want a - do you want a jewel? And I'm like, no, no, no, I'm okay. Thinking she's saying a jewel, like a jewel, smoke. But she was saying, like, to, like, get bedazzled, a little jewel, which I would have taken. So later, I was like, I told my daughter, I said, but your friend, she said she asked me if I wanted a jewel. She's like, no, no, she didn't say you wanted a jewel. She said, do you want a - a jewel to put some ju - you know. Right. I didn't have any bracelets, but I was into - I liked Taylor Swift. I wouldn't go again. I kind of felt bad being there, because there's people who give their left arm to be there. But it was - look, she is an unbelievable performer. I mean, it was - you could - first of all, I liked some of her songs. Secondly, the level of performance. It was just, you know, it was an A+. I mean, that - that - and that is something, even if you didn't like her music, you can appreciate it. And also, I appreciate it if I had to go to the bathroom. Easy pass right in there. No one. Right. No one's leaving their seat except for people like you who aren't in it. Yeah, and especially, yeah, and more skewed women.
The Garden Question
A highlight from 129 - Gardeners Never Retire: Overcoming Challenges in Your Senior Years - Duane Pancoast
"The Garden Question is a podcast for people that love designing, building, and growing smarter gardens that work. Listen in as we talk with successful garden designers, builders, and growers, discovering their stories along with how they think, work, and grow. This is your next step in creating a beautiful, year -round, environmentally connected, low -maintenance, and healthy, thriving outdoor space. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or an expert, there will always be something inspiring when you listen to the Garden Question podcast. Hello, I'm your host, Craig McManus. In this episode, we talk about adapting to various gardening challenges. We explore making tough decisions in gardening throughout the latter seasons of life. Also, having the best attitude toward tough decisions. Mobility restrictions began taking a toll on 84 -year -old Dwayne Pankost. His gardening abilities were changing, but not his knowledge. He began sharing his and other senior gardener's experiences in his blog, The Geriatric Gardener, in February of 2017. After posting bi -monthly adaptive gardening stories, Dwayne decided to compile the best of his post into a self -published book, The Geriatric Gardener. Dwayne feels having the garden information at your fingertips is a benefit for every senior gardener. Dwayne continues to work in the family marketing communication business, which he started in 1985. The firm serves tree, landscape, and lawn care businesses. This has been episode 129, Gardeners Never Retire, Overcoming the Challenges in Your Senior Years, with Dwayne Pankost. Dwayne, why did you decide not to give up on gardening? I didn't really decide to give up on gardening. Old Edge crept up on me. One day when I couldn't get up from kneeling, I decided I was going to have to garden a bit differently. I thus started my second career preaching about adaptive gardening. What is it about gardening that keeps you wanting to go with it, no matter what age you are? I like plants, and plants seem to like me. When I could no longer do outside work, I was fortunate enough to have a mature, mostly woody plant landscape at my home, which I was able to hire out the maintenance work. So, I've concentrated on indoor gardening, especially tillandsia air plants, because they're fun, they're curious, they're easy to maintain. I have about 30 of them, and another 30 of regular soil and pot plants. Would you explain what adaptive gardening is, and how it differs from traditional gardening practices? Sure. Adaptive gardening is simply adapting your garden and your gardening to your changing physical conditions. If your knees hurt, you have to find a way to garden without kneeling, with raised beds, containers. I'm particularly fond of elevated beds, because I like to garden sitting down, and there's a place to put your legs underneath elevated beds. How does adaptive gardening contribute to the well -being and mental health of individuals facing physical limitations or health challenges? As you grow older, your knees wear out, your back wears out, your shoulders wear out, and Adaptive gardening is simply finding ways in which you can continue gardening with minimum pain, minimum disturbance to your health. It may start with just a pair of strap -on knee pads, and then it may go to getting one of these kneelers that you tip it over and it becomes a seat, or one of the other gardening seats that are available online or at some garden stores and home centers, and then going to raise beds, elevated beds and containers, eventually, perhaps concentrating on your indoor gardening. Do you find that it keeps promoting an independent spirit and self -sufficiency by continuing to garden? Oh, it sure does. Some people retire and all they do is sit in front of the television, and they're dead in six months. I'll be 85 in November, so I figure I can thank gardening for some of that longevity because it keeps me busy. I can get up in the morning, and I know I've got something productive to do. How I do it or how anybody does it is adapting is a matter of time management, only working blocks that are comfortable for you, maybe 20 minutes or maybe a half hour, and then take a rest break. If you're working outside, go into a shady spot. I used to go into my garage and sit and watch people walk their dogs up and down the street. Well, while you're there, always have a cooler of nice cold water and drink plenty of it because staying hydrated is very important to your well -being. Dehydration is one of the major causes of falls because people can get lightheaded and their balance goes crazy when they are dehydrated. Falling is one of the things you don't want to do out in the garden. I didn't realize that. I didn't know that dehydration led to dizziness. A doctor told me that I could always tell when I was dehydrated because my balance went wonky. I drank enough water and an hour or so, it was back to normal. Would you tell us about some of the decisions you had to make in your latter years? You said you're 85, but what are some of the decisions you faced going through that time period? First of all was downsizing and this can be a trauma for some people. I thought it was going to be for my late wife because she liked our house and I didn't like our house because it was a money pit from the day we moved in. It was a half -acre lot with a two -story colonial on it. It was great for raising our four sons because they had plenty of grass to play ball and do kid stuff. When walking the stairs became difficult for both of us, she was the one who decided, I think we ought to downsize. So we built a house that is about the same size as a two -story, but one story on a quarter -acre lot. One of the things I tell people, if you're going to downsize, bring something from your old garden with you. Dig up some plants that you especially liked in your old garden that may have a story. That goes with it or something with the family. I happened to bring a ginkgo tree. It was about four or five inches caliper and 15 or 20 feet tall. I didn't just dig it up and put it in the back seat of the car and bring it over. I had a client who had a big tree spade and he moved it for me. Downsizing is the first decision. I used to do my grass. I timed it, not by the clock. I did the back and one side, and then I would sit down and rest for 20 minutes or so, drink a bottle of water. Then I'd go out and do the front and the other side, and then sit down for a while before I'd go on to the next gardening job. I was convinced at a certain point that I ought to hire a lawn cutting service, which I did. When I found that I couldn't get up from a kneeling position, that's when I hired the lawn care service to also do things like weeding and trimming my shrubs. I have a tree and landscape client. He does stuff like the heavy pruning, any tree climbing, because he has a pre -care division. It wasn't a matter of whether I was going to quit gardening or not quit gardening. It was a matter of how I was going to do the gardening and still have a relatively painless life. This was at the old house. No, the new house. You were cutting the grass at your new house? Yeah. Oh, okay. Well, you talked about the pain. What do you suggest to continue gardening when your knees do start causing you trouble? I suggest, first of all, anybody of any age, go get a pair of strap -on knee pads. A lot of gardeners get the cheapest ones, and they complain that the strap goes around the bend of the knee, go to the next quality up, and it'll have a strap that goes above the knee bend and another strap that goes below it. Look into one of these kneelers or combination kneeler bench or something to sit on. If you're younger, use the knee pads to help prevent or put off the knee problems. Knees, for some reason, they just calcify. You get arthritis. I asked my orthopedic doctor, what causes it? He said, wear it out. I said to him, maybe it's too much genuflecting in church. And without missing a beat, he said, well, come on over to the Episcopal Church. We don't do that.
The Financial Guys
A highlight from Rising Auto Theft Rates: Urban Consequences and Solutions
"Well, you see how easy this is now. Now you look at how they move money around and how the in your face money laundering folks, this is what this is. This is corruption and fraud. Some of the Bidens are great at the money laundering part. They got 20 shell corporations, but guess who's getting the guess who's going to be controlling the funding to rebuild Ukraine. We pay to destroy it. And guess what? The Hillary Clinton Foundation gets paid the rebuild Welcome right. to the podcast. We are in the same studio today, which is kind of nice. So thanks again for downloading. If you're just listening, if you're watching or watching the clips, uh, thanks for watching as well. And just for a quick mention, so I don't forget, if you haven't downloaded our app yet, I'm noticing we're getting a lot of downloads and the cool thing is when the morning Mike's program is going Monday, Wednesday, Friday, I'm the, seeing the view count go up and up and up, which is awesome. So I know we're only, you know, we're still in the dozens. I'd like to get into the hundreds and eventually thousands, um, but it's a cool program. If you haven't listened to it, it's a quick 15 minutes to quick by morning, run down three days a week of the top five topics, three minutes each. Do a great job. They do an awesome job when we're, when we fill in the stuff. We screw the whole thing up. Yes. Yeah. We, we blow the whole, the whole, uh, the schedule, but, um, but they do awesome and they're funny. I love it. It's a quick, you know, down and dirty 15 minutes, top five items of the day. And now you get your day started off on the, uh, they, you know, I think on the right foot, they were saying this week, like, Oh, it's so negative all the time, but I think they're hilarious. They take the negative stuff that's going on, but of course the negative stuff isn't the news. Yeah. Yeah. That's what we're seeing. I mean, carjackings again, Rochester had another, you know, record night. I mean, it's incredible how that was going on. And so it's amazing is, is like the Democrats just sit around and watch this happen in every city and every city. It's insane. Yeah. I sent you an article earlier this morning about Philadelphia. Let's see. I can find it. It's, uh, not that it's anything out of, you know, anything that we don't know about, but let's see here. Philadelphia swarmed by alleged juvenile. Come on, come on. Juvenile looters targeting the Apple store, Lulu lemon and footlocker. Yeah. So, cause they're starving. They're starving. They just, just need a little piece of ham and some Turkey. They need clothes and food. That's, that's only fair. I mean, they, you know, and once again, I know we've all heard this joke, but footlocker is not missing one pair of working boots. No, no, all the Nike's, all the Nike. Yeah. Well, some of those Nike's, I mean, Oh my God. Crazy. You know, talking about like, you know, thousands of dollars for a pair of, thousands, thousands of dollars. I was talking to my daughter and she said to one, one of her friends has a, as a pair of shoes were $1 ,200. I'll never forget the most expensive pair of shoes I ever bought. We were just starting a business. This was like 30 years ago now. Right. Crazy to think. And I remember somebody told me that maybe my dad was like, you got to have a decent pair of shoes. Right. And so I went up and I bought a pair of Justin and Murphy's. They're like 120 bucks at the time. Yeah. The most money I have ever spent on a pair of shoes. Now boots, I've spent more money on since because boots are more expensive, you know, hunting boots. Well, there's a purpose to them. I still don't spend more money on shoes. Like I'm wearing like Skechers or like $40. Like some of these Nike's $500. You can't tell me you're running faster. It's different when you're going to go out and buy a pair of like waders or something. You're going to use them. First of all, you're going to use them for the next 30 years. Right. And there's a purpose to them, right? Like, okay, they're more expensive, but I can walk through the water with them. Right. But if I bought like, if I had five, 600 hour pairs of shoes, I'd be afraid to leave the house. I wouldn't, I wouldn't get off the carpeting. Well, they're targeting the Apple store here, Glenn, because they'll buy jobs. And that's the only way to get a job is to make sure you've got an Apple iPhone. So it'll be like Chicago. We talked about this the other week with, with, uh, with Mike Speraza, Chicago is now forced to open or, or just talking about opening, you know, a, a government run grocery store in the inner city because they've all that. Well, they're going to, so they're going to, they're going to, the plan is to fight the communism with more kind of communism, right? That's going to work really well. But could you imagine how inefficient, first of all, Walmart's pulled out, Costco's pulled out, all the stores have pulled out because now target, have you heard targets now closing stores across the country? So target is now going through and discussing all the stores across the country, liberal target, liberal target. They put a black lives matter that they ripped down the smash of the window. I thought that'd be some sort of a shield or that we're just going to put up this, uh, this plywood and we're going to spray black lives matter on it. Hashtag hashtag BLM. And we'll be safe as they rip it out and use that same plywood to smash the window with. It's pathetic. There'll be nothing left in these inner cities. The problem is when it starts to spill over into the, into the, Oh yeah. This is, this is where it gets ugly. Well, they want it. That's what they want. That's, that's why people like, uh, the governor of New York, uh, you know, Kathy, the ice queen, Kathy Hochul is, is, you know, they first tried the push for section eight housing in the suburbs because that was only fair. Yeah. Now they couldn't get that through because the people in the suburbs are like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Now they're busing in illegal immigrants in the middle of the night. And I tell you something, if these Democrats like Mark Poland cars were proud of what they were doing, they would have a welcoming party at noon at noon, high noon. They'd have a press conference welcoming our newest community members off the bus so that the whole community could see these family units that are getting off. You got the husband, the wives, the two kids, you know, the things that we see in our country, right? No, it's not happening. They're bringing them in at two o 'clock in the morning. So nobody sees, they're all, they're all 23 year old males, right? Or 18 to 25 year old males. Some of which are from the Congo. I don't know about the, uh, you know, the, some of the social norms in the Congo, but I'm just thinking that maybe they're a little bit different than the Western world. I don't know. I'm just thinking maybe not. Maybe they're exactly like us. I don't know. But they're exactly like us. Why would they want to come here? Why are they aspiring to come here? I don't know. Anyway, it's a fentanyl fentanyl up again, by the way, there was another report. I think it was on a Fox news. Well, good for the Republicans. I mean, at least part of them, I should say good for the five or six Republicans that are the extreme right wing, according to the media, that's holding this garbage up. No, shut the government down, shut it down, shut it down until there's no more money. Take the money, go into Ukraine and send it to Texas, which they did right to the border, which they didn't do last time. Right. Kept it open. That's what do you need? What do you need? We're out of control. The founding fathers gave the power of the purse to Congress and the, and the Pentagon, the Pentagon goes, yeah, you know what? We're just going to exempt Ukraine funding from the budget. So ha ha. We just went over 33 trillion. If you go online and look at the clock, it's moving fast, right? So we're on our way to 34 or 35. Can you even see the numbers anymore? They just blur blur now. So, so fast. Oh no. And, and good news, by the way, we're refinancing this debt at 5 % now, not at 1 % or zero like we were doing. Yeah. It makes a lot of sense. Yeah. It'd be great. Yeah. The fence talk about keeping rates higher for longer. I don't know. They're not going to be able to do that. They'll be cutting interest rates by next year. Mark by where? And the number one reason I say that is because when you talk to every economist, I say, that's not going to happen. And they are typically wrong. So if you take the, it's like saying betting against the casino, it's like saying, you know what? I don't think MGM is going to make money in the sporting books next year. Ma, they're going to figure out a way to make money. They'll rechange the lines, right? Well, you, all you need to do is look at it and get a bunch of economists in a room and ask them where they think the market's going to be and then do just the opposite and you would be way better. Yeah. Pretty much that's usually the way to go. No doubt about it. So the, the, the, the Pelosi, we were talking earlier about the Pelosi stock trader. Yeah. You can follow online. Now, some of these folks, we did the game show game last week. We talked about the, uh, the net worth. I picked the poor ones too. They were like 23, 21, you know, $20 million. Some of these folks are amazing. I mean, really just, you know, the wizards of smart on some of these are just really, timing is impeccable up here. This is somebody who is selling some software that I'll track it, which you can, you, you've pointed out, you can get it for free online, but, but the, the numbers are really astonishing. This Democrat Senator sold her Aspen vacation home for $25 million. That was just after she sold her Lake Tahoe vacation house for $36 million. Well, by the way, why, why do they own these big $25, $36 million homes? Well, a big, big part of it is because the taxation of it, right? So a Feinstein who's telling you your ordinary income tax rates are too low. She's shifting that to a capital asset, which is going to create a capital gain in the future or no gain. Or no gain. I mean, they're 10, 10 31. This is why when Donald Trump looked at Hillary Clinton right in the eye and said, you will not get rid of the carry interest deduction and you know it because all of your, I use it, of course, all of her bigger donors donate money to Hillary Clinton. And this is exactly the truth, right? They will never get rid of some of these things. Like they talked about, we're going to get rid of the 10 31 exchanges. Yaha. Yeah. Uh huh. Yeah. So the big developer strokes a giant check to the, to the Democrats off the table. Let's listen to her success though. Amazing. A Senator sold her Aspen vacation home for $25 million just after she sold her Lake Tahoe vacation house for $36 million. Only two years earlier, Diane Feinstein has been a member of the political scene for 32 years and her salary is only $130 ,000 per 130 grand a year. Now it's more now. That's a little bit dated, but it's up, it's up to probably 180 now. But, but listen to this. First of all, if it was up to 580, you're not buying $23 million homes, $36 million homes. No, no, we're going to put in multiple homes. We're going to, we're going to put the Paul Pelosi onto our research committee. You make a million dollars a year. First of all, most of, most business owners that make that kind of money, they didn't make it throughout their whole life, right? They didn't start making a million dollars at 20 years old. They started making a million dollars at 50 years old and it took 30 years to get to that point. Right? So my point is, you're not at a million dollars a year at age 50. If you did it the right way, the hard way, and you did it yourself, you're still not affording a $23 million home, right? Multiple ones. Yeah. Multiple, multiple. Right. Those aren't even her primary residence. Those are her vacation homes. She lives in, she lives in California. Listen to this though. And it's, it's all of them. It's all of them now. This is a, this is from Nancy Pelosi, stock trader. Uh, this is a tweet, uh, a Twitter feed. You can follow Pelosi tracker is what it's supposed to track or underline or something like that. You'll find it. Anyway, uh, three weeks ago, sitting politician bet against the U S economy so far. He's been right. Tom Carper bought $45 ,000 of PSQ and inverse ETF on the tech sector on eight 23, August 23rd. Since then he's plus 3 % while the market is negative 4%. Go figure. Wow. Go figure. Man, these guys are so good. Yeah. And they're not by, they're, I mean, these are, that's some pretty technical strategy. You started getting into options strategies and stuff. I mean, yeah. Yeah. These guys have become very, very slick. It's not just about buying a, you see, it used to be, okay, I'm going to buy X, Y, Z. Then I'm going to vote for or against something. You know, I'm going to short the stock and then I'm going to vote against them for both that, that, that. So the stock goes down or I'm going to vote for something, knowing that it will benefit the company. The stock will go up and in a sense front running. No, they're, they're in the options strategies now. They're in the market. Yeah. They're doing butterfly spreads. Yeah. Crazy stuff going. They're very sophisticated. They shouldn't be allowed to two things. When you go into Congress, I, you know, I would love to have a Congress person run on or present around the following platform, right? Number one, term limits, term limits, top of the list. Number two, though, while you're in Congress for the eight years, or wherever we allow you to serve 10 years, 12 years, whatever it is, you could not invest in a stock market at all. All your investments are frozen or your choices, a model, some kind of a model liquidated go to cash, or you could buy the fidelity balance to counter. You could buy the, you could buy the T -rope price, you know, target retire, whatever, you know, or you go to goes into a blind something or other where you have no idea. Right. It just goes into what you picked a one through five tolerance for risk and somebody else invest. Maybe it's just broad indexing. Maybe that's it. Right. Something that doesn't allow this kind of garbage to go on where, you know, they buy, you know, Tesla stock and then approve a huge, you know, oh, we're going to, guess what? We're going to build a, you know, for government funded battery stations all the country. Of course, Elon comes out and goes, we already got those, you idiots. I did that like four years ago, you morons. Amazing what Elon can do and what the, what the government can. Going back to target for just a second, not to digress, but I found WGRZ, thankfully came up with a list of the, uh, the target stores that will be closing, Mike, the full list of locations all in, all in Republican run. You'll be shocked. Yeah. Yeah. Right in the, uh, the thriving, the, uh, you know, thriving, the Minneapolis, uh, location, the retailer said the decision, the close was really difficult. I wonder if that was after half. That was the one they put the BLM on. Yeah. Oh, that was the one they put the sign on that said, please don't burn our store down. We love you. I hashtag BLM lit it on fire. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Uh, let's see. I'm shocked though. I wouldn't, I'm surprised you wouldn't stay. I mean, you know, like just collecting, you love them. You love, you support them. This is what you supported. Remember you, you, you raised money, you gave money. Yeah. And guess what they did with that money. They agitators hired to whip up people in the community to smash and burn down your store. You idiots. So there you go. There you go. Nice, nice work. What else do you think, Mike? Uh, New York city's East Harlem neighborhood. That's going to be one that's goes down. I wonder why. Chicago, San Francisco for sure. San Fran. Yeah. San Fran. Uh, by the way, before I forget San Fran, Democrat San Francisco mayor, announces plan to require drug testing, which is good in an effort to, if you're going to receive homeless benefits. Right. But the funny thing was in this same passage, they're going to Texas to try to recruit police officers. The funny thing is is that the people they sent from San Francisco to try to recruit people. They didn't come back. They defected like North Koreans. Some of them got jobs. They get over the wall. They come out, they get over the wall. It was hilarious. No, they didn't go back. Well, the other five stores, Mike, three in Portland, Oregon and two in Seattle, five, three in Portland. They're pulling out of Portland together. All of these inner cities folks will be food deserts. You're going to hear that term. It'll be business deserts. It'll be nothing. Well, business deserts, nothing left, but there'll be, but target, don't forget target. Does target sell food? Yeah. Well, yeah. They sell food. Yeah. For sure. Yeah. Well, I don't go on target. So Walmart I know does Costco for sure. Costco is a food store. I don't think target is as big as Walmart as far as like fresh fruit, but definitely frozen food, all that kind of stuff. You know, aisles of pop and water and chips and right, right, right. And all that kind of stuff. But you can definitely frozen food. You can buy bulk frozen food there. So, so there's going to be food deserts, all over the place, business deserts, whatever you want to call them. You know, it's amazing because you know, the, there's no policing. And the sad thing is that is the problem. It's not, there's no policing. I shouldn't say that. Excuse me. No, you're policing your asses off. I get it. There's no ability. There's no prosecution. There's no bill. You guys are arresting people, putting them in and they go right back on the street. They're getting, they're getting appearance tickets. It's a joke. Your point is no, there is no policing anymore because of the system, the Democrats put together where the police officers aren't going to bother. If you're a police officer and you know that somebody is going to be this, this carjacking or whatever is robbery. And you know that there's a potential, you're going to get an altercation where you're in New York state. There's two police officers that have been brought up on charges recently with almost a hundred percent chance that if you do catch that person, that person will be right back. Yeah. A hundred percent. Why would you bother? Why would you bother? You're not going to put your life in line. No way. You want to go home to see your wife and kids too, and your mother or your husband or whatever. You want to be able to spend your Christmas with your family. Why would you do that? And they know that, right? The Democrats know that. This is, you can't be this stupid. I mean, who allows these people to go right back on the streets and say, this is a good idea without correcting this right away. You can say, okay, bail reform. Our intentions were one thing, but when you look at the fact that in New York state, we are now breaking records in towns like Rochester and Buffalo for the most amount of vehicles being stolen. We can say, okay, look at bail reform, put it in place. It clearly did not work. It's been a total disaster. These towns have turned to shit. We absolutely need to go back in the other direction. They're not doing that. They don't care. They want to, and they're doubling down, tripling down on it, tripling down. We invited this liberal on, you actually were on the show with him and he said, things are actually safer since bail reform. That's what his argument was. His argument was, and by the way, his argument was if we have even less police officers, cities like Buffalo will get safer. Well the thought was less police officers, less arrests. Less arrests means less crime. Dude, you got the whole thing backwards, bro. And not only that, but now we know that, right? Now we know, now you can, I mean, literally auto thefts are up 360 % in Rochester. They're not up 3%. You can say, well, you know, in Buffalo and we're in second place. And they can't play, they can't play in COVID. They're trying to like, well, it was a lockdown. People were at pent up, whatever. Remember that was the, that was the reason for the rioting and the ballooning and burning like, well, people had a lot of pent up. We probably should have locked them down. That was a little bit of the reason for the increase in suicides. You guys, you guys increased suicides because you locked kids in their homes, but it wasn't the reason that they went and decided to steal Nike sneakers from a footlocker. So check this out. Speaking of COVID, this is huge. This is, I don't know if you saw this or not, but this is absolutely ginormously huge. Dr. Fauci was smuggled into CIA headquarters without a record of entry where he participated in the analysis to influence the agency's COVID -19 investigation according to the house select subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic. Did he need to do much with these left -wing CIA agents? Probably not. No, no, no. That's what they're smuggling him in for. Well they smuggled him in because they didn't want anybody to know that he was part of the PSYOP operation, which was hydroxychloric. By the way, the I think it was a Mayo clinic and some other hospitals now have come out as well as the CDC and said hydroxychloroquine, yes, indeed is an effective treatment for COVID. Oh, by the way, ivermectin also an effective treatment. The CDC now approving that. Now mind you, we're going to keep in mind that if there was any other treatments that couldn't get the emergency use authorization for these vaccines that clearly don't work. Amazingly, I'm still seeing people online go signing off my sixth booster on our way for the sixth shot, proud to get our sixth shot. How about how about one the other day, local left -wing nut job got her sixth booster shot, six shot and she still got COVID and then she said, well, I was so good hiding and it got all my shots and then I went to a concert and I got it at this concert. Well, first of all, you don't know that, but second of all, if you have six shots and you six shots and you still got COVID and you actually think that was a good idea, you don't need a vaccination. You need a mental, you need a mental check. I tell you, I know people during the during the COVID, the height of the COVID that were older, some of our clients actually that were prescribed by a doctor a hydroxy quirk when they were taking it once a week as a as a preventative measure. Yeah. And they, to this day have never had COVID. Yeah. And it's, it's, I mean, so it, but the sad thing is again, you know, we couldn't, it's all about the money now. And that's, you know, when people talk about the evils of capitalism, you're seeing some of that. Now, capitalism is the best thing on the planet, right? As far as, you know, lifting the masses out of poverty and creating amazing amounts of wealth. But the problem is this isn't, this isn't capitalism. What's going on. This is cronyism is what's going on. It is, Hey, look at, I will give you these government dollars. You're going to get this patent. You're going to get this. Unholy marriage between business and government. Mark my word. We were talking about Feinstein selling 25, $30 million homes. This Fauci will be on the board of Pfizer. He'll be on the board of Moderna. He's going to get shares of those companies. He will be blessed with with with millions and millions of dollars. His family watch and see, we'll be talking if we're, if you and I are fortunate enough to be around 20, 30 years from now, we'll be talking about the Fauci trust and watch and monitor that trust and see how big that family trust. Well, you see how easy this is now. You look at how they move money around and how the in your face money laundering folks. This is what this is. This is corruption and fraud. Some of the Bidens are great at the money laundering part. They got 20 shell corporation, but guess who's getting the, guess who's going to be controlling the funding to rebuild Ukraine. We pay to destroy it. And guess what? The Hillary Clinton foundation gets paid to rebuild it. Right. And guess who's going to get the contracts to rebuild. Oh, that'll be probably one of the Biden family members or somebody else's politically connected. Right. Remember it was, it was a Joe Biden's brother who got the contract, the multi -billion dollar contract to rebuild Iraq. No building experience, never been a contractor, right? No idea. Right. This is why these projects cost 500 times what they're supposed to cost. This is why when money comes into Buffalo, for example, $25 million to build homes, five get built. And you were, wait a minute, five, are these $5 million homes in the East side? Each of those homes would have been built for a quarter million dollars or less. And yet where did the rest of the money go? And the, the answer is never, we don't know. We don't know. We can't account for it. Or we'd have no idea. Or I mean, how many times have we've seen that in so many places that whether right down the local level or God forbid at the federal level between, you know, Iraq and others. I was telling you last week on the radio, I was reading an article about the grants that were coming into the city of Buffalo to plant trees. And I thought, okay, wow, like this could be sweet. Okay. You know, like I'm a big tree guy. I love trees. I plant trees every year. I do think, okay, that's one way to, first of all, I think it's one way to make a community look great. When you, when you drive around, let's say North Buffalo, all the streets are all tree. They look beautiful. You drive around the East side, it looks like shit, right? So, okay. You're going to take some of my tax money and you're going to directly plant trees. Okay. It's a win for the environment. It looks nice. It's going to bring things together. I'm like, well, where's the catch? This is a government agency. Where are they going to screw it up? You read through and you find out that they're paying $1 ,000 a tree. Now you and I both know that if they're saying it's $1 ,000 a tree, by the time it's done, it'll be two to $3 ,000 a tree. Now you, you're talking about $13 million worth of trees. You and I just planted trees. Every year we plant a few trees around our office, you know, three, four in the spring, three, four in the fall, just so they can start to grow and work their way in. And then, you know, plant more. We pay $250 a tree, plant it. Right.

New York Judges Obviously Don't Have Access to Zillow
"My other favorite story of the morning. This is a revelation. New York judges do not have any awareness of or access to Zillow because yesterday a New York judge ruled that Donald Trump committed fraud because he overvalued his property. And apparently, judging by Eric Trump's ex post yesterday, the New York judge valued Mar -a -Lago at about 80 bucks. And apparently it's worth more than that. Now, who among us have not Zillowed a property that you drove by when you saw it for sale? Who among us have not Zillowed a property that that we thought that would be a nice place to live? I wonder what it cost. Zillow has brought the multiple listing service to you. And and so apparently New York judges do not have access to Zillow because the idea that a real estate developer inflated their value. First of all, I work. I know real estate developers. I worked for a real estate developer. Real estate developers are my friend. I hope Leonard Frank is listening right now. Leonard is retired from Pardee, which was my largest and biggest client for a quarter century. And but I mean the Baldwin brothers and Sun Cal and Lusk and you name it. I represented him on Endangered Species Wetlands and CEQA NEPA issues. And I have never met in 25 years of legal practice, a developer who undervalued their properties. Never. It does not happen. But the judge in New York, because it's New York and by the way, this this helps Trump. This helps Trump as much as the story is Trump say he might want to buy a Glock as a felony. That story as well. At some point, you just laugh and you think, I hate the media so much, even if I don't like Donald Trump, I'm talking to you people out there who don't like Donald Trump. At some point, you know, you're going to vote for him because you want to see their heads explode on Election Night 2024.

Hunter Biden's Shady $250K Wire Transfer From Beijing
"Is all over the place, but I'm just going to run with the one from Fox News. Hunter Biden received two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in a wire transfer originating in Beijing with beneficiary address listed as Joe Biden's home. So James Comer of the House Oversight Committee announced that yesterday, two hundred fifty grand in twenty twenty nineteen got sent Beijing to Joe Biden's house. Now I ask you, who among us has not gotten a quarter of a million dollars from Beijing sent to their house randomly? That could happen to anybody. And I am not going to join the mob accusing the president of complicity in Hunter Biden's nefarious schemes to get money sent to the family firm via Delaware simply because a quarter million dollars showed up from Beijing at the Biden family house. I'm not going to join that line. Not going to do it wouldn't be prudent.
Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from The Mike and Mark Davis Daily Chat - 09/27/23
"Lots of channels. Nothing to watch. Especially if you're searching for the truth. It's time to interrupt your regularly scheduled programs with something actually worth watching. Salem News Channel. Straightforward, unfiltered, with in -depth insight and analysis from the greatest collection of conservative minds. Like Hugh Hewitt, Mike Gallagher, Sebastian Gorka, and more. Find truth. Watch 24 -7 on SNC .TV and on Local Now, Channel 525. A big hit for the Crystals, girl group, 1963. Just 14 years later, this guy, 19 -year -old Sean Cassidy, busting onto the scene. Was this in the Mike Gallagher record collection when you were 17? Nope. Missed it. Missed it. Don't miss this. Sean Cassidy, who I had on the show, I think, last year. He blows through town in some medium -sized venues and just kind of has a sense of humor about all of his hits and all of his stuff and blah, blah, blah. The great Sean Cassidy is 65 today. I also saw him in a theatrical production of a great musical called Blood Brothers. He has toured in that. I think he might have played it in New York a little bit. Maybe even in the West End in London. He's great. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to him. He just has a lot of energy. And you know what he has? He has gratitude because he knows he's pigeon -holed. He was in the Hardy Boys TV show or some such. He was the kid star and blah, blah, blah. But you know what? If you got that going for you, milk it for your entire life. I'm a big believer in staying in your lane. I am a stay -in -my -lane kind of guy. Let's talk a little bit about my years -long narrative about the crap file on Donald Trump. Oh, yes. Let me tell everybody what it is. The Mike Gallagher theory has been born out true time and time and time and time. Whenever something starts to happen that will create positive attention for Trump or make people empathize with him or vote for him or support him, some kind of story will mysteriously appear so that the media can cover something else. Go. Well, yesterday is a perfect example. Huge news. The House Oversight Committee subpoenas records and discovers that Hunter Biden got wires from China, got transfers from Beijing for more than a quarter of a million dollars. And the wires were sent to Joe Biden's home. The president himself, his home, his home address, not Hunter's address, Joe's address. Now, this is the man, of course, who has insisted all along that he doesn't know anything about his son's business dealings. He just happens to be getting a quarter million dollars sent to his residence, but he didn't know anything about it. Now, hours after that comes this big revelation. A judge in New York, a Trump -hating, maniacal leftist New York City judge ruled that Trump has overstated the value of his properties over the years.

"Been a ton of fun to watch. It has been all right, so you want with staff. I've got SGA with an obvious nod towards Tatum and Yanis would be like the legitimate vote. Yes, and I do think Giannis is also in great position to win this award. Yeah. I know their offense has slipped recently, but in brook Lopez has been probably maybe even a bigger factor for how good their defense has been this year, but for them to have the record they have without Chris Middleton. Exactly. They've been fantastic. And the Celtics have been absolutely lights out too. So those two teams at the top of the Eastern Conference. I think ultimately the race, if those two teams stay where they are, I think the race comes down to Tatum and Yanis, but we'll say, I also think the finals might come down to them.

You go again. This is always a weird one every year. It's like, do we give it to the team that over, achieves? Do you give it to the coach of just the best team in the NBA? So there are some good candidates here. I think I know he won this award very recently, so there's no chance he gets it. To me, there's something to be said about Monty Williams. And the fact that everyone thought the sons, this ride was over, you know, the vibes are terrible. He's held it together there. Chris Paul is missed a ton of time. You look at what Taylor Jenkins has done in Memphis again. They've had just a rotating revolving door of injuries, pain comes back, urbains out, tracks and comes back, marantz out all those guys have missed time, Dylan Brooks, John morant doesn't be and triple J have yet to play. A possession together so far this season. Obviously you got will hardy and what he's doing with the jazz, although the jazz have taken. They fall in love. But I think you gotta go Joe Missoula. You're going, the Boston Celtics. Listen, I can't let this podcast and I said, coaching has to matter. So the Celtics have to be taking a step back because you Joker was given so much credit and now granted, who was giving him the credit, the media apparatus of the democratic people's republic of Boston had a great role to play in the amount of credit you doku got last year. And you know, I sit on this type of coaching has to matter. So you have to assume this team's gonna take a step back and said they've been far and away the best team in the NBA is so far this season record wise, net rating wise. I'm surprised. I'm surprised that you thought that they'd take that much of a step back because the system's in place, right? I mean, you're elevating an assistant. All the pieces are the same. It's not like they changed how they play. It was kind of like an easy, not to say that you can set it and forget it. It's not an autopilot situation. There is some like personnel management. Like how do you deal with individual personality type of deal? But ultimately, most of that is already baked. Yeah, but I mean, you think what if they lost hardy to right so they lose their top assistant, the guy who probably gets the job if he's still there, this team was like 545 games into last season. So there was evidence also that maybe they could backslide into that. And they also have been playing a little bit differently. They're offense. I wrote about this. It maintains their offense would be the best offense. And then we have history for continues at its current pace. They run like a bunch formation. I think I talked about this with herring. Well, they'll put they'll have jaylen Brown and grant Williams or jaylen Brown and Al Horford said it's like a double screen. You know, double pinned down for Jayson Tatum and every night it's just killing opponents who you have to be so disciplined defensively. To guard them and they've added wrinkles like that that have just taken them to another level. And the thing is, even if I thought they'd take a step back, it's something I thought they'd be average or something. But they've taken a step up, you could argue. I mean, this is really, really good. Yeah, they're really good. It sucks. It's a total problem, but they have been good. We're going to get all kinds of fawning Sam Hauser profiles and Malcolm Brogdon profiles and Marcus smart is the best all around point guard in the NBA. That how many how many of those have you volunteered to write for SI? A grand total of zero. It's weird. Yeah, you know, I think we have that base covered. But yeah, it's going to be tough. It's going to be tough seeing all the Celtics propaganda. Trickle out over the course of the season. All right, so you're going with Boston and Joe. You mentioned a lot of names there. Monty's a really good one. I had will hardy too. But the jazz have fallen off a little bit, so they're starting to come back to earth a little bit, which is why I'm reluctant to stick with that pick. Let me throw one out of you. See if the cat looks it up here. What about Mike Brown? That's a great one. That's a fantastic one. I don't like the phrase see if the cat lifts it up. And I also want to add the jazzar like 12 and ten which is still a massive accomplishment. It is. Considering how we discuss the roster, but Mike Brown is a fantastic pick. Mike Brown, so, you know, I have a sullied the good name of the Sacramento Kings on more podcasts than I could possibly remember for more companies than I could possibly remember. And with good reason, right? It's been 17 years since they've made the playoffs. There's the famous stat that everybody laughed at during the playoffs last year that no player in the NBA has faced the kings in the playoffs. Which is just mind boggling. That's how long it's been since they've been in the playoffs. And I thought that this year was going to be another bad year for them. And so far, it has been, look, you know, what two games above 500. So let's not get super carried away, but it has been a fun resurgent year for them. And they add Kevin herter deer and fox is starting to look really good,

"Anything left. Well, I think it's illustrated that you bring up Isaiah Thomas because I think what it's showing is with the way the league is headed, first of all, the point guard positions loaded. Secondly, if you're a score first player and you're undersized or you've had injury issues, you have to either be a really good at scoring or bring something else to the table because you will just you can not hide defensively in this league anymore. And to put the canvas, the Isaiah's of the world, once that scoring falls off a little bit, the calculus on that kind of player becomes a lot different. Can they have a bench roll maybe for the right team, yes? Can they be a truly meaningful contributor to a contender? I don't know anymore. Just how difficult that position is in this league and how I don't want to say literally one dimensional these guys are, but when scoring is kind of like your far and away best attribute, if that falls off, even a little bit, you're in a tough spot. The Mavs could definitely use the help. I don't know that it's Kemba, but we'll see. I want to mention, though, that after the bucks beat up on the Mavs, Luca, who's your guy said that Yanis is quote the best in the NBA. And I mentioned this because earlier you did a transition. Boom, I just did a transition. We're going to do the quarter mark awards. We're going to start with the MVP. I'll let you go first. Is Luca right is Giannis the best in the NBA and is he your quarter mark MVP? This is funny because we did this story, I think we did the first month awards or something. And I think I'd Luca is my pick just because of the you did. Counting stats were insane and listen, there are some really good candidates for this award. I don't think Luke is going to win the Mavs. This recent road swoon. I think it knocked him out of the first quarter awards. I think Giannis would be a great pick. We were having an argument in our group chat recently about why there's not more debate about the consensus best player in the NBA, and it's almost like Yanis read our text because he's gone off for like, I think 38, 37, 36, then a third or last night in the last four games he's been dominant. I think you can make an argument for Jayson Tatum. Who has been fantastic and the Celtics offense is disgusting, but I'm gonna pick none of those guys. Really? I'm gonna go with a little known player named Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, a little bit of a sort of your list in the worries of one three in a row. All right, I think they're at ten and ten now. So not quite world readers, but I think curry is the argument I think for yoke for MVP last year over embiid, which I know you are one of those crazy embiid people. Yeah, wild to think that a guy who plays both ends of the floor. Well, this is the thing. This is the thing, and let me explain it to you, John, because they love to say embiid, he plays both ends of the floor. Is I think the two players in the league who make their teammates better more than any and it's not close. They're in their own stratosphere. It's nikole yo kitchen Stephen Curry, okay? And that was a separating factor for yo kitchen and bead last year. It's the way jokic can elevate a supporting cast. And I think that is what curry has done this year. I mean, what are the conversations been about this team? Pool doesn't look the same. Klay Thompson's having a completely up and down year. Andrew Wiggins has been fantastic, but what do you think changed Andrew Wiggins career? It's probably playing off of Stephen Curry. How many times have we said draymond looks different playing on any other team in the NBA? You know, it doesn't work unless he's playing with Steph Curry. Steph's curry averaging 31.4 points a game 7.1 assists 6.8 rebounds. Think about his stats during his unanimous MVP season. That year he was at 30 points 5.4 rebounds 6.7 assists. So he's having a better year than the year he was the unanimous MVP, you know, it's in a career high in scoring. That was two years ago, the 21 season. But the counting stats are there and for me, that's always been a huge factor in kind of what I think about MVP voting is, it's not just the counting stats. Do you make the guys around your team better? And I think pound for pound, Steph Curry, you can not replace him. You can more easily replace LeBron on the Lakers than you could replace Steph on the warriors. The way he just lifts the tide. It's remarkable and I think if Steph keeps this up and they keep winning and I think I expect them to. I think he's a great chance to win. They keep winning as the principal point because what? It's recently as two weeks ago. We were on this show talking about what's going on with the warriors where they were trying to take these two paths at the same time playing the young kids and developing them and winning, but lately they've been fantastic 7 and three over their last ten. You can't go wrong with stuff. I like that pick. For me, I'm not gonna go with staff. If I was actually doing this, if we were handing out an MVP award right now for real and I was voting, it would be either Jayson Tatum or Yanis on to compo. But we're not. This is just kind of like a fake, how do we feel about this quarter mark? So I'm going to go a different route. I'm going to read you some numbers here, all right? 51 point literally reading off of something. I'm looking at the numbers right now. 51.5% from the field. 92% from the line on 8.8 attempts. 31.1 points per game, 4.8 rebound 6.2 assists 1.7 steals and 1.3 blocks per game. Are you kidding me? He's been electric every single night. I know. Can I get a little love for my guy? SGA in OKC. I mean, look, I get that OKC is OKC and they're under the radar for a lot of people. He has been so dynamic. Forget about being a superstar down the line. He's one right now. He hit a crazy shot or he went to the free throw line, but he was going head to head against to Rosen in a bull's thunder game that came down to the wire the other night. And it's just him what I want to talk to keep with the roads and get some on the pump fake, go to the line for three. Lights out, man. He's been lights out. He's been lights out. Is there he appears elsewhere on my awards. Let me just tease it like that, but he's been fantastic. There's no question. I mean, the numbers you read are superstar. They're ridiculous. They're like cartoon numbers. And beyond that, you were mentioning how he took over the game the other night. Is there a guy in the NBA that you'd rather watch right now? I mean, I've made this point before. I'll make it one more time. Last year, that leap that we saw jaw make, where it was, you can't miss jaw plan. He's playing tonight, I'm watching. Same with SGA this year. There's nobody I'd rather watch in the NBA right now. Well, I'm not gonna go that far. I think that guy, frankly, is still driving. I have gone that far. I would like you to go that far with me. Not to be, I know I've been really NFL pilled on the podcast here because the dolphins are doing so. And congratulations, by the way. Although, just quickly, quick aside, who remind me who has the best record in the NFL, I forget. The birds are frauds, dude. The birds are frauds. They have beaten everybody in front of them except for one team. But it's like how people are like, is Patrick Mahomes who really the best quarterback? I'm not willing to take away the most entertaining title from John morant just yet. It was still making highlight plays at an incredible clip, but you're right. I think SGA has become the more important thing is there is SGAs become a must watch player. No matter what the thunder's record is, no matter who they are playing, you want to see what he's going to do on any given night. And that's

"Levied upon them There's a hotel self self-assessment that goes back to tourism marketing. There are a few extra taxes that are already hit on hotel room sales and the argument is at you know added another one would be evil competitive disadvantage relative to other parts of the city again. I don't know exactly what the discussion was acting. Twenty fifteen i mean. I can tell you that. If i was if i owned a hotel you know i wouldn't wanna pay extra taxes. So the reasoning is all that complicated. I suppose i think what's more interested in. Is the legal reasoning on. How how legally. They were able to exempt a certain type of sale from a sales tax because the original ballot measure did not exempt hotel room sales and the new Ballot measure also did not exempt hotel room sales. The only real legal explanation that i could find Was in a twenty fifteen of governmental research report. It was a footnote at the bottom. About why hotel room for being exempting and the misled administration. The mayor at the time Headed apparently said that basically the explanation. That's in this. Bg our report is at the statue on economic development district says that they may levy up to two percent of sales tax or up to two percent of hotel occupancy taxes. And they're they're. They're making an argument that needs to dismiss distinct things even though the hotel tax is a sales tax. They're they're saying that there are two distinct things in the statute only choose one right there saying this is an either or situation now. I spoke to some of the. Bg our folks briefly. And you know we talked about whether there were you know attorney general opinions on this whether you know this has been a clarified position. Did they didn't know of any other scenario where the law has been interpreted in this way to be you know. Either you have sales tax or you a tax Hotel consi So it c looking unique reading of the law. I don't know if it ever went to court. Were or whether there was any other higher legal opinion other than the landrieu administration. But but that seems to be the original justification. Yeah well and the interesting thing on this one too is that they seem to have gotten some legal trouble on trying to do this exemption this time as opposed to last time because this time they did it in a way that was kind of you know more transparent they tried to get it on the actual ballot which meant it had to go through the state bond commission and stay on commission said no. You can't do that hotel you can't just. You can't just exempt a category sales taxes whereas before when they had done this. It wasn't in the ballot language. Didn't go to the state bond commission and the council just added this exemption after the fact after the vote took place right in bringing you back to this delay in the tax is that after the bond commission came back and said you have this in the bond language the to md d. Their meeting said okay. That's fine we'll just put the exemption in the ultimate cooperative endeavor agreement with the city so as those negotiations went on however the city ended up taking that clause out of the ca and said that we can't legally put in an exemption for hotel room sales and so that was really the point at which you know. The issue came to a head where the f. d. thought that this was all going to get settled the yea and suddenly the administration is saying. You know we don't think that we can legally do this. And and keep in mind that the french quarter management district. It's run by a board and the board members of the board is set in state law and it is It's pretty heavily weighted toward the hospitality industry representatives from orleans and company formally the convention center their representatives from the french. Quarter business association. They're represented either representatives like leave the restaurant association so it's a group of people that is heavily representative of the of the big industry in the french quarter which is tourism out of the twelve person board. Three of them are executives. French quarter hotels. The board chair is Ease the general manager brennan's And he was appointed by the louisiana restaurant association so again it is fairly business dominated or all right and it's a not an insignificant amount of money that they continue to lose and the clock is ticking. And there's no way to recoup this money because it's a. It's a finite amount of time that it was supposed to be exacted right. So how did they resolve this. And what happens if they continue to not be able to resolve it so so they are probably should've mentioned at the beginning. Is that the reason why. This delays a big deal that sales taxes have to be implemented at the beginning of a fiscal quarter. So july first was the beginning of of the third fiscal quarter. Now it will be able to start until october first so the plan now is to try and strike a deal in find a way to hash this out between now and october i although the f. m. b. is still holding their position that they want hotels exemptive and the mayor seems to be holding onto her position that it's not legally possible so yeah i again. It's going to be back to negotiations but you know this issue seems to be a fairly big one. I yeah. I would say if the city attorney's office is under the believes that it would be illegal based on what they've state bond mission short of getting an opinion from the attorney general. That goes into french. Quarter management district's direction. I don't i. I don't see how they resolve this at the beginning of the next quarter so i would assume that that would be their next move is to take this to the attorney general and i won't point out that we've been covered for a little while now and it's a kind of a strange twist in this story only because the the dynamic you know so far has been so basically the administration's problem with the fbi md's plan and gmt's involvement is that they didn't want another independent board handling sitting money with the unelected independent board elected independent board. Deal with an issue. That is really a citywide issue. You know when you're talking about policing in public safety. It's something that you ideally would like to be a little bit more centralized And i think they've been a little hesitant to hand over millions of dollars not hand over but to entrust this. This independent unelected business dominated board with all this money. And so you know the dynamic of played out since since april when when the tax was approved that the fda to for barring that the mayor wasn't that the city wasn't going to start collecting tax time and in fact they actually took the step of authorizing the city council to get the state to collect the tax instead of the city because they were so worried that maybe the city was so against the f. You abuse role that they weren't going to collect tax and so there was a lot of concern you know. This tax wasn't gonna get collected on time because of the administration's hesitance Now you see this turn where the fmd's in to request to delay on this tax. It's it is bizarre given. Fgm these position that this money is needed urgently. That it's needed now that you know the french quarter needs as much funding for public safety possible. Because now they're in a position where they're fighting for less money each year up half a million dollars less each year and they made the decision to delay by three months which even if they do fit six five tober. They've given up somewhere in the ballpark of five hundred to seven hundred thousand dollars for public safety and all at one more thing in terms of the rhetoric here. There's been a lot of urgency from the fda in terms of crime rates. Going up right now at this moment right in so again the toughen after. Md is we need this tax. We need this money now and then to see them kind of you know ask.

"Use something like this which legally they can do but it is kind of rock out from under famous right adding stress to an already stressful situation. And so many other ways you know here comes the new school year. We're going back to whatever. Normalcy might look like after the pandemic. It's really got to be tough for them. Thank you marta. Michael earlier this year through a ballot measure residents of the french quarter approved a quarter cent sales tax to pay for extra police patrols. Which was meant to go into effect on july one. However it won't be in place until october at the earliest as a result of a legal dispute over whether hotel room sales can be exempted from that tax. We explain the background on the tax. I yeah so so. This is a tax a sales tax specific to the french quarter on that sometimes referred to as a quarter for a quarter. So every you know hundred dollar sale you pay an extra quarter. That's on the tax works. It was approved by french. Quarter residents in twenty fifteen. As part of a bunch of different initiatives at the time to increase security police patrol specifically in the french quarter and from twenty sixteen when it went into effect to the end of twenty twenty one that expired the tax had gone solely to pay for extra louisiana. State police patrols. The french quarter then. Last year there was an attempt to renew it. there was actually a ballot. Measure in december To renew the tax. Although there were disagreements over how the money would be spent lost reassured. Everyone agreed that the money would no longer go to the state police and that they would go to. Local police patrols. Although there is disagreement that the male toy cantrell one of the money to be split between local police patrols and a new ground patrol that she's put together to deal with quality of life issues. Now the other major player. This is called the french quarter management district. They wanted the money to be more dedicated onto just police patrols and they wanted to have explicit oversight role in how the funds were spent so anyway again long story short. The french quarter management district came out against this ballot measure in december and it was ultimately voted down I should note here. That were less than a thousand votes cast. So so you know again. We're just talking about french. Quarter residents an organization like the french quarter. Management district can be super influential in a very small kind of election in like this so after that basically after that defeat on control administration said we're not gonna try to nudist again. You know the voters said no so. The french quarter management district started working directly with the city council to put this Tax back on the ballot in april. The ballot is different than it was in december in a couple of ways. I'm first of all it. It dedicates most of the money. If not all of it to Police patrols rather than these grounds patrols that the mayor was interested and the french quarter management district it was written into the ballot language as a as an oversight body funds and so that went to the balance april it was approved by voters and accorded about language the earliest. They could collect tax with july. First twenty two. How many people voted this time. Okay so in the april election. There were seven hundred total votes on this. Of whom seventy two percent or five hundred six voted for it was supposed to take effect on july one yet. It didn't why yes sosa. Basically before before the tax actually goes into effect he gets a little confusing here but basically the city council has to vote to levy the tax. Technically the levying authority here is something called the french quarter economic development district which is a state created body but it's governed by the city council so it more or less is up to the city council to actually start loving this tax so so the french quarter economic development district ak the city council. I called the meeting to approve tax on july. First on the same day. You know again. It was it was about measure set to go into effect. But at the last minute A canceled it now. There are a few reasons why this is taking a long time that you know the main thing is that basically there needs to be a cooperative. Endeavor agreement between the fresh corn management district the french quarter economic development district and the city of new orleans. And so there's been some back and forth over those terms exactly how it would work. There are few areas where there are disagreements but from talking to people with few md d. n. councilwoman palmer who is heading up this effort. The real sticking point seems to be whether or not there's going to be exemption for hotel room sales so when i say hotel rooms sales tax there's one side that says that the hotel room sales should be exempt in that scenario other sales at hotels would still be taxed so if you had a restaurant and your hotel or you know if you had a bar in your hotel you would still pay the tax in those however it wouldn't be applied to hotel room rentals and it actually the bureau governmental research looked into this and you know it makes a significant difference in the amount of revenue that's ultimately raised with the hotel room exemption. This tax is estimated to raise about two million dollars a year without the exemption jumps up to two point five million dollars talking about twenty five percent boost to the overall revenue. So yeah i mean there are a number of issues. I think we're especially the cantrell administration disagrees with the french quarter management district but the main one that seems to halted this collection You know they at the last minute seems to be this hotel. Attention issue because hotels were exempt from this tax prior. Why why then and why. Not now. Actually you know. I didn't realize that the hotel rooms have been exempted from the last tax. It.

"New details emerged from forensic investigation into suspicious. Employees background checks by the dryades. Ymca which runs the james m singleton charter school. A quarter cent sales tax in the french quarter to help pay for security in the historic neighborhood was meant to go into effect on july first but a legal dispute has delayed its roll up and a former new orleans independent police monitor and newly announced candidate for sheriff has joined some city council members opposing the proposed new city jail facility called phase three that the city has been ordered to build to house detainees with serious mental illness or medical needs those stories insight and analysis coming online the ladies on the podcast week education reporter marty juice in good morning. Marta government and cultural economy reporter. Mike allies eckstein. Hi michael morning criminal. Justice reported net crystals. Here haynick an lens editor. Charles maldonado charles. So marta this week newly released details from forensic investigation conducted this past spring include specific evidence against the former. Cfo at the dryades. Ymca which operates the james singleton charter school. The report was introduced at a hearing. How did the investigation come out. Yeah so we've not been background check issues for a while at the school right that at all kind of i guess we could say tobacco all the way up with district notice last. September wasn't really taking heavy action on intel. Small warning in december of bigger than march march is kind of one when the public really found out about what was going on. Not really suspicious. Background checks so where this forensic investigation in march and got it back. In april of public hadn't seen until it was introduced in that trial last week it discusses the former. Cfo katrina read. What did it show yes. I mean it's specifically drills down until you know. They're taking her computer in our hard. Drives the fan document hump quote background check dot x. Like it pretty pretty evident that this was not just an accident and appears to be a lot more calculated than anyone. I think was able to say up until this point. Yeah previously you know the the sort of evidence that we've seen come out in the media from from sources at singleton the singleton audit conducted state kind of piece together. It seemed to be somewhat circumstantial. It seemed to be related to the fact that katrina read. Mr one who is handling background checks. She was responding to administrator emails. About where are these background checks. But this forensic audit connects the dots in a way that we really haven't seen before and it before we had problems with like unique identifier codes but really really unclear like was that from her could possibly in air from state police and it looks like it went all the way back to twenty fourteen. Is that right. Yes these these documents collect to think about twenty sixteen but what also is new in this investigation as a twenty fourteen warning from a different state entity it's a licensing entities probably for their child care aspects of the wires from the youth programming type of thing but they got in trouble for the exact same thing which was a background check problem. We ask the district if they knew about that and the district's response was spoiled manage. Shot back then job now all right. So what's happening with the lawsuit that the school filed against the district right to the school district because the district came out in late. June intel insert the revocation process. Which means they're going to basically try to school before the square starts which is a very quick time on for the district to do. They don't normally do things that swiftly especially over the summer so singleton and dry land officials sought out a restraining order. Granted that currently prevents the district from contacting students or families where teachers until the revocation is final. So if they're not able to contact the families the families are surely hearing about this through either the grapevine or our website or you know other coverage of what's going on are they able to make other arrangements for their kids even if they haven't been officially contacted by school administration. The feelings of failings at this point could if they wanted to try to enroll another school through the summer enrollment program district had said they would give students priority enrollment. That's a good person asks unclear to me still being offered. You know if they're not allowed to make contact with these families but yeah basically feelings could choose to leave. They want to right now. During the hearing last week district said that they had not seen a drop in enrollment aung on their side of things which is interesting. You know we have another two weeks before this thing hopefully finally shakes out. But that's a long time to make. Yeah yeah. I mean it. Just just back up that for a second listeners. Who are familiar under a quote unquote. Normal revocation procedure once read revocation is underway the families to send their children. They're given a special priority one app. How would that typically work murder. i mean typically. We're going to see a priority in one app is only so good as the openings that exist at the time so i summer enrollment on not necessarily that great but he would be you know during the during a normal enrollment he would be basically first in line to get into our school newspaper. We wanted to. Is it conceivable that this thing keeps getting kicked down and continues to grind through whatever legal system that it's in now and it could continue to operate as a school for the school year. I think the longest term outlook After this school would potentially be operate for one more year because they only have one year left on their contract. I do think i'm assuming. And i think my guess is that robert Rotation precede on the july meeting. That's just based on attitude of district but if that doesn't happen it's conceivable that the school could operate for just one final year but its last year in the contract of a suspect. It would be like they would that that superdome would not renew the contract in december which includes the school next june right. Yeah you'd be able to do that because likely leap legal challenge because that's that would be the normal processes. That's his prerogative at any time to to end the contract when it expires route yet it'd be the end of the contract versus now where you know kind of what we're court over. Was the school saying. Hey we have all these disputes with you. You've alexa we've done. Xyz we wanna talk about that and we have the right to talk about that contract. The other thing. The judge did do as ordered that. They tend mediation by the end of this week at just one last question murder by the time we get to these rely meetings with the school board. How far are we from the beginning of the school year like less than two weeks. I think singleton price starts somewhere between the tenth in the fifteenth around. The is not a little bit earlier. So that's cutting it pretty close right. It's very vary of that too. She absolutely was being empathetic to families in vain. Enough time to.
