Markets Daily Crypto Roundup
A highlight from Crypto Update | Ether ETFs, Validator Growth, and Uptober's Strong Start
"It's Monday, October 2nd, 2023, and this is Markets Daily from CoinDesk. My name is Noelle Atchison, CoinDesk collaborator and author of the Crypto is Macro Now newsletter on Substack. On today's show, we're talking about Ether ETFs, Ethereum staking, macro moves, 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. October, as this month is known in some circles, is off to a strong start in crypto markets. After a few days of gently drifting upwards, prices for Bitcoin and Ether jumped sharply yesterday afternoon, with Bitcoin moving up almost 3 % within just a few minutes. There doesn't seem to be a clear catalyst for yesterday's sharp jump, which suggests that it could have been triggered by a short squeeze. The crypto market has often seen these before. They are usually unwound relatively swiftly, however. This one, not yet anyway. Since yesterday's jump, the Bitcoin price has continued to climb, and at 10 a .m. Eastern time this morning, it was trading at $28 ,500, according to CoinDesk indices, up 4 .8 % over the past 24 hours. Ether was 2 .3 % higher, trading at $1 ,725. October is typically a strong month for Bitcoin, with an average performance going back to 2011 of 25%. Bitcoin has delivered a positive performance in October in each of the last four years. Yes, including 2022. But patterns can be broken. We saw this last month, as Bitcoin rose almost 4%, breaking a six -year trend of negative September returns. Other tokens are also rallying. Earlier today, the tokens of Solana, Arbitrum, Optimism, Cosmos and others were up between 3 and 4 % over the past 24 hours. As I mentioned earlier, there doesn't seem to be a clear catalyst here. In part, it could be October psychology. There could also be some excitement around the first Ether futures ETS starting to trade today. And there is probably also some momentum chasing involved. Bitcoin has broken above the 50, 100 and 200 daily moving averages, which is a big deal for chart watchers. Whatever the reason, the uptick in interest could be enough to perhaps entice some liquidity providers back into the market. If liquidity improves along with the Bitcoin price, then we are likely to see a further pickup in new investor interest. I'll be keeping an eye on volumes and other liquidity metrics. Over in macro, the headwinds are still there, which could keep any crypto rally muted for now. There was some good news on Saturday, though. After a day of hectic negotiations and a barrage of breakthroughs, a US government shutdown was avoided. Both chambers passed a stop -the -gap spending bill that President Biden signed with less than an hour to spare. This means that government employees and all of the related businesses that serve as government departments can keep on working. This is very good. It's a temporary measure, however, and we could be going through the same type of tension in mid -November. Earlier today, the ISM Manufacturing Index came in better than expected. This data point is based on a survey of purchasing managers at 300 manufacturing businesses and gives some insight into the general direction of manufacturing activity in the US. ISM stands for the Institute of Supply Management, the organization that conducts the survey. The main index for September still showed a contraction in activity, but the slowest contraction in 10 months. It's too soon to conclude that the contraction in US manufacturing is bottoming, however. Over in stocks, the strong manufacturing data and the avoidance of the shutdown has failed to boost the mood of the US market. This comes after a fairly grim end to September. On Friday, the S &P 500 closed down 0 .03%, and over September, the index lost almost 5%. Its second monthly decline in a row. The index is down 3 .7 % on the quarter, its first negative quarter in 12 months. This is less than the Nasdaq's decline, which was 4 .1 % for the quarter, highlighting that the market is moving into risk -off territory. The Nasdaq is even more focused on tech stocks than the S &P 500, which tend to be more sensitive to increases in interest rates. In Europe, markets were feeling good on Friday, with both the German DAX and the Eurostock 600 rising by roughly 0 .5%. That was not enough to save the month, however. Over September, the DAX dropped 3 .5%, and the broader European index dropped by 1 .6%, the worst monthly performances for both in a year. So far today, weak market sentiment has returned, with all leading European indices down from Friday's close. The outlook for economic growth in Europe is flagging, with the German economy forecast to contract this year. In Asia, Japan's Nikkei index started the fourth quarter on a down note, closing just over three -tenths of a percent lower. So far, this seems like an extension of the negative performance seen last month. The index dropped almost 1 .5 % in September, losing more than 4 % in the quarter. This makes Q3 the first negative quarter for the index in a year. Chinese markets were closed on Friday for the mid -autumn festival and will be closed until next Monday as the country celebrates National Day. Chinese stocks had an ugly third quarter, with the Shanghai Composite registering an almost 3 % drop, its second quarterly decline in a row. Chatter is intensifying about more monetary and policy easing to support the market and the economy. This would be good news for Asian markets and for crypto markets since, despite recent bans, China is still a significant source of demand for crypto assets. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index was hit much harder, down almost 6 % for the quarter, as its market is more exposed to US interest rates and has also been hit by China's property sector woes. In commodities, the Brent crude benchmark was rising in early trading today after pulling back from the local high of over $96 reached late last week. Earlier today, Brent was trading at $93 .62 per barrel. Gold continues to weaken, trading at around $1 ,830 per ounce, down just over 0 .7 % from the market open. Investor appetite for the metal is being hit by the stronger US dollar. The DXY dollar index was climbing today, up 0 .4 % from Friday and up almost 3 % from a month ago.

A highlight from THE HASH: Binance's Reported Russia Risk; Coinbase Squares Circle
"This is the hash podcast. Stay informed with the latest on Bitcoin, ETH, the metaverse, web3 and more. All on the hash for your ears. You're listening to the Coindesk podcast network. Hello and welcome to Coindesk TV. You are watching the hash. I am Zach Seward. That is Jensen Asse, Will Foxley over there. It's a three box Tuesday and we are going to do some stories, four of them even, to get you up to speed on what's going on in the world of crypto. I'm ready to start. Let's do this thing. We're talking about Binance now having potentially further issues heaped upon it, the world's largest crypto exchange by volume, alleged to have been serving folks in Russia despite a whole raft of financial sanctions relating to the war in Ukraine. This one could significantly harm Binance in the long run, but this report is now out saying that they have relationships with Russian customers and that is potentially an issue should Binance want to remain in good standing the world over. So let's talk about this one. I'm going to throw it straight to Jen. What's it out to you from this report? Well, if you read the report, there's this Russian businesswoman probably like halfway in the report who says that most people in Russia are familiar with cryptocurrency and use cryptocurrency. And I think the quote was everyone except her grandma. And I think when we look at these Western sanctions, it's obvious to see why so many people in Russia are looking at cryptocurrencies and using it to change their rubles into absolutely anything else. And so, yes, there are Western sanctions in Russia, but there are people who live there just like you and me who need money to do things. And so I can understand why Russians are looking for ways to change their fiat currency into crypto. Now, when we look at Binance, it's like probably the website is not available in Russia, but probably there are Russian people who have found ways to circumvent this. There was another Wall Street Journal article that came out earlier this month that spoke about China. Another, well, there's not sanctions for China, but crypto is just illegal in China. And it talked about how China is this 90 billion dollar market for Binance. Obviously, the website is not available, but the Wall Street Journal viewed documents that showed Chinese users how to circumvent some of the things in place so that they would be able to use Binance. And so I am just waiting for more information here. It is a wait and see story for me if Binance is outwardly showing people in a sanctioned jurisdiction how to take their currency and change it into crypto. I think that they are definitely going to run into issues with the regulators, but I'm just waiting to see if Binance responds to this more than what they've already said. Yeah, I think like the centerpiece of this is the peer -to -peer nature of what they're talking about here, like the peer -to -peer exchange of crypto assets. Russian citizens, of course, who have no involvement with the war, why should they be penalized for this? Well, it's because the Russian citizens and like the banking system that they were using beforehand is being pressurized and squeezed from all sides. And so those Russian citizens are sort of caught in like this in -between zone. So crypto is a natural outlet for them. And I think it shows you the promise of crypto very shortly, just with that war going on. Interesting to get a thought from Binance on this, they told us a spokesman for Binance told the Journal the exchange follows global sanction rules, but they did not return a comment of request from CoinDesk itself. I think this story just sort of follows up though in the eyes of politicians and regulators out there in line with the SEC and the CFTC and others who are pushing against Binance right now. And there's many open investigations and cases and lawsuits against Binance for their involvement in so many different aspects of the cryptocurrency market, from securities to working within the United States or other jurisdictions without licenses. And now you can just add to this list, this open look into what's happening with people possibly using their platform for exchanging assets in a country that right now is sanctioned by the global West. Now the question here, Jen, is like not necessarily like, is this a wait and see, but more of like, what is the reaction from politicians? Like, are they going to wait and see, or are they just going to make a decision and start going for it? And I could see them actually start pushing, especially on Capitol Hill. If we continue to see more issues with the crypto and more bear market pressures and scams, Binance is a pretty easy target just because of the nature of its global business. Throwback to you, Jen. Yeah, I'm with you there, Will. I think you have Russia news, Binance evading Western sanctions, and then just a few weeks earlier you have China news. I think that those are two things that I would be surprised if we didn't hear regulators talking about what's going on, especially given what's happening with Binance. So I'm right with you. Zach, what do you think? Yeah, quite risky for Binance, right? Should this stuff prove to be sort of demonstrably true? This is based on some analysis that I think the journal enlisted from outside blockchain sleuths, right? So should this be a significant thing, this would be quite damning, I think, as it relates to how the US regulatory apparatus is kind of trying to crack down on Binance. So certainly would be growing like list of pains that CZ is facing at the helm of Binance, you know, from the stuff that we talk about all the time, from, you know, hopping from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, to again, helping those who the financial system would not like to be served with the financial options that are available to other people, this is a pretty big one. So interesting to see what the more full response is from Binance. As noted, they've been pretty mum on the issue. History corner will be good. I mean, there's been great journalism from Coindesk on this in the past, talked about the movements of funds between the Chinese and Russian border tether, I think that comes up right here. And then over the summer as well, there was a lot of interesting disputes are back and forth with some senior people at Binance leaving the firm. And then there's, of course, like the layoff of a thousand people. Binance has certainly had a rocky 2023, but hard to pinpoint a crypto company that has not had a rocky 2023. Okay, let's go over to Coinbase and talk about the Circle Consortium, which is now being dissolved, as Coinbase has garnered a or purchased a stake within Circle itself. Circle earlier this year, actually sold some of its stake to Fidelity and BlackRock. So Coinbase joins those two firms. Was this mean? Well, I think Circle is really growing and they want Coinbase to look for the ride. Circle, of course, runs the USDC network. They're adding about six more blockchains for that crypto asset, which is quickly becoming one of the most important stablecoins out there. Zach, I'll throw this one over to you. Just kind of cool to look back and think about like how the Circle Consortium worked. It did its job for a few years, now that professionalizing a little bit more, putting it all under one hood and then Coinbase continues to have a stake in the company by purchasing a stake in Circle. Yes, I will correct you, sir. It was the Center Consortium, not the Circle Consortium. So the Center Consortium is the thing that's being nuked. I think, yeah, this is interesting. I mean, obviously, the addition of additional blockchains stands out, right? Having native USDC on various layer one networks is pretty catalytic for a lot of these networks, right? You want to have that stable unit of account that you can use to zap around money natively on these chains rather than having to rely on a bunch of sort of like, you know, duct tape bridge situations. That I think is super notable. But I think also that there's clearly some interesting behind the scenes here as to why Coinbase wanted to get in on this a bit more actively. I think if you looked at the low to no interest rate environment that a lot of stuff took place in, you know, in the last three, four years, suddenly these reserves are probably thrown off a good chunk of change, sitting in some bank account somewhere, generating interest, generating returns, right? I could imagine why Coinbase would want to be closer to that, because it might represent a decent business line, right? Circle, these are dollar backed stablecoins, they're sitting in reserve somewhere, they're doing that. And if you want to cash them out, you get that dollar back. I think the business economics of being a stablecoin issuer have certainly changed given the high interest rates that we see. So it's interesting that I would, I would imagine that that may have been sort of a catalyzing factor in this change to the approach. And that's certainly interesting to see Coinbase be a bit more active in pursuing it. But yeah, I think probably the new blockchain stuff will have the longest term ramification in terms of again, maybe jump starting some of those ecosystems a bit further. But yeah, interesting business story as well here, I'd say. Jen, what do you think? Well, I read this and this is complete speculation, but I read this and thought, you know, Coinbase has been working very closely with their lawyers, very closely with their legal advisors on the suit that's brought against them by the SEC. There's a stablecoin bill that's being debated on. And I just, I feel like this is, you know, them looking at the industry, looking at the growth of the industry. The consortium was created in, I think, 2018. I think that this is them seeing kind of where regulation is going and making their, making USDC look like other stablecoins that they think are going to make it. And maybe one of those is PiUSD, PayPal, stablecoin. It just feels like they are restructuring, they've looked at the industry, they've seen how it's developing, they've heard what regulators are saying when it comes to stablecoins, and they are being flexible so that they can carry on with the product and again, bring it to more blockchain. So that's my speculation while reading this. I think this is a regulatory response that has been carefully thought through. Well, any last words on this one? Yeah, I'm just wondering about the funding side of these things. So Coinbase has a pretty good books in terms of like revenues, cash flows, and debt on hand. They did recently announce that they're raising about $150 million in debt. I think as of like August 8th, they had about $50 million of that secured. And I'm wondering if that has something to do with this, but of course right now, that's only speculation. We don't really know how they purchase this or how large the stake within this whole new purchase was. So that'd be something I'd be curious about knowing. Coinbase, of course, just a huge company at this point, and they have stakes in so many different business lines, very professionalized company, but I'd be curious about the money side of things. Keep on trucking on. I have to say it every time we talk about Coinbase, despite this lawsuit, they keep moving forward and doing what I think is like really great things for the industry. So they are leading the charge. It's going to be less confusing when writing up stablecoin stories because you always kind of had to mention like center, but it was sort of like, wasn't really key to the story. So it is nice. It'll be nice, like simplistic because the center was circle and Coinbase, and now it's like, let's get rid of that. Yeah, just straight up circle now. That's great.

A highlight from LGM Podcast: On a Road Called Oppenheimer
"It's a three -hour movie, and it doesn't feel that way. And, like, a week earlier, I had gone to see Mission Impossible 7 -1 -13, gosh, whatever. And, you know, that's a movie that's an action movie. People are leaping off cliffs and leaping onto trains, and the trains are falling over cliffs. And it's 15 minutes shorter, and it feels longer. This is the Lawyers, Guns, & Money podcast. Hello, and welcome to the Lawyers, Guns, & Money podcast. My name is Rob Farley, and joining me today are a large group of LGM front -pagers from New Mexico. We have Cheryl Rofer from Seattle. We have Scott Lemieux. And from a town near Tel Aviv, we have Abigail Nussbaum. And I believe this is your first appearance on an LGM podcast, although you've been with LGM for quite a while. How is everybody doing today? Fantastic. And as I think we were talking about, this is what may be our first four -time zone podcast, which just sort of reinforces how this is becoming a Big Ten blog, right, that eventually the Big Ten will encompass every time zone across the entire world as new universities are added to the league. So what we're talking about today is Oppenheimer. And I think we come at this film from a lot of different backgrounds. Cheryl and myself, you know, I have more general security interests. Cheryl has worked in the nuclear enterprise specifically. Scott and Abigail, both of you, right, really extensively about the aesthetics of film. And you both studied film pretty extensively, even if you don't have sort of the same professional linkage to the material in Oppenheimer that Cheryl and I might. But I think it's a really important film. You know, already at LGM, we have, I think, three long posts. It might be more than that by now on this film. And I've certainly had a lot of thoughts that I haven't put into a post myself. So I think the easiest way to start here we'll give you the pride of place, Scott, to tell us a few of your thoughts about about Oppenheimer. And then we'll go into a more general conversation where we'll try to hit a bunch of different questions that the film arose in our minds. So we'll start with you, Scott. And then we're going to go around with just sort of general impressions of the film. Yeah, welcome, everybody. And my apologies, I've got sort of the end of the cold. So teaching yesterday was a very rough experience. I think my voice sounds a little better today, but I may have to. But if that means that Abigail and Cheryl have to talk more, I think everybody would be happy with that anyway. But yeah, we did the full Barb and Barbie Heimer experience. Barbie on Saturday, Oppenheimer on on Sunday. Not an IMAX, unfortunately, because the Taylor Swift concert made getting to the other end of downtown unviable.

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

Crews work to reach Italian towns isolated by floods as cleanup begins
"Rescuers have been working to reach towns and villages in northern Italy after heavy rains and flooding cut off highways in electricity. In the northern city of faenza, Italian firefighters arrived by boats outside a building where an elderly lady needs to be evacuated. Her home has been inundated with water. They jump off their small dinghy into the chest high floodwaters and proceed to take her out on a stretcher the heavy rains in the area pushed two dozen rivers and tributaries to burst their banks. Several people have since died and some are still unaccounted for, local mayors have warned that some remote villages were completely cut off by landslides and phone lines were severed. That has prevented rescue teams from reaching residents and authorities from understanding the full scope of their needs. Local officials are estimating billions of Euros in losses, which has been made worse by heavy rains, weeks earlier. I am Karen Chammas

"A way that we haven't seen before. It's interesting, Elizabeth that you bring up the fact that the Biden and McCarthy probably the next opportunity for them to get together might be next week, but the staff continues to work in the meantime. What are the chances that the staff could actually work out a compromise before these two get together? Certainly, that is the hope. The hope is that when the next meeting happens, which we are told could happen early next week, is that there would be at least some concrete steps on places where the staff have agreed because otherwise we risk seeing a situation where everyone gets together here at The White House again and they say, we're still too far apart. We're still too far apart. And I don't think anybody wants to see that happen after a week of these negotiations. So the hope is that the staff can at least hash out some pillars where there might be agreement and perhaps that can be solidified in a meeting here, but that's a lot of is still.

Maradona's medical team on trial in former great's death
"Argentine court says 8 healthcare professionals will stand trial in the death of soccer great Diego Maradona, three judges of an appeals court confirmed the charges of homicide by negligence brought by prosecutors against members of Maradona's medical team. A medical board's report previously given to prosecutors claims Maradona was in agony for more than 12 hours, did not receive adequate treatment and could still be alive if he had been properly hospitalized. The date of the trial hasn't been set, but it's unlikely to begin before next year. Maradona, who famously won the World Cup with Argentina in 1986, died of a heart attack aged 60 in late 2020, following brain surgery two weeks earlier.

Biden 'Surprised' About Discovery of Classified Documents
"Hat tip forgot man, this from just the news when attorney general Merrick Garland announced November 18th that he had named a special prosecutor to investigate former president Donald Trump's handling of classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago. The government harbored a fresh secret, what was that secret? Oh. Oh, Joe Biden had his own secret. Joe Biden had taken documents and stored them at the University of Pennsylvania. Just two weeks earlier, Biden's lawyers disclosed to government lawyers on November 2nd. That was just 6 days before the midterm elections. Pause. 6 days before the midterm elections. Is it just me or is it something about the Biden administration, the Biden family and the media that don't want to give the voters information that is prescient to making a decision on who's going to lead the country? It's fascinating, right? A lot of voters didn't get them the information. They didn't know about Hunter Biden's laptop. Very fascinating. And then all of a sudden, the media starts to confirm what we have all known all along, that the Hunter Biden laptop story is indeed a true story. And were it were it reported on by real journalists at the time and it actually was by some real journalists. But if other journalists from the left would have reported on the story, it's likely that Biden would not be in The White House despite the cheating. It's likely that he wouldn't be in The White House. Absolutely amazing. It's amazing how they do this. They had found sensitive government documents with classified markings. They were inside an office at Biden used a pen Biden center think tank in Washington after he left office as president Barack Obama's vice president, vice president. Vice president. When does a vice president have the authority to be able to determine what's classified with declassified and take it with them?

"weeks earlier" Discussed on Bloomberg Radio New York
"Week. Earlier this week, president Joe Biden signed into law the inflation reduction act committing $437 billion to a range of initiatives from combating climate change to lowering the cost of prescription drugs. One major beneficiary, the electric transportation industry. Our Bloomberg businessweek international cover story this week examines China's EV giant. BYD, and why it's being very un Tesla, as it makes waves in the international market. Business week assistant managing editor, Jim Ellis is here to break it down. Most people sort of think that the way Tesla is sort of develop itself is the model for the auto companies of the future. And BYD sort of stands in as an example of it doesn't have to be that way. I mean, BYD is not just a startup. And it's a very successful company. It's the largest EV maker in China. It's also the third most valuable by market cap auto company in the world after Tesla and Toyota. But a lot of people here probably don't know it much other than that it's a big investment by who else, Warren Buffett. Who bought into this company back in the early 2000s. And put in with $280 million, it's now a stake worth $8 billion. Wow. And this is a company that believes in vertical integration. They've come in and they've said, everybody's talking about chips, shortages, and everybody's talking about battery deals. They make their own batteries. They're now the third largest maker of EV batteries in the world. They also make their own chips. They use them in their cars. They are probably going to be a battery supplier to Tesla. They're already a battery supplier Toyota. They also now have invested in lithium mines, all the things you need for batteries. They are just very different. The other thing that's really different is that they are making cars for the sort of middle class person. I think that's huge. That's a big market, but it's very different approach with the Tesla came in and Tesla said they were doing model three at what, 30 K, right? And the average price for that. It's now about 46, 47. That's the starting point. So what would a BYD set you back right now? I'd be like, you can get one and you can't get one in the UK. You can't get one in the U.S., but it would probably be about a 40% less than a comparable test. In China, where they sell hit to hit their auto three is about half the price of the Tesla Model Y, which will be a comparable EV car. It's a different marketplace, though, because when you're saying I'm going to make cars for, I don't want to call it Middle America. It's a little China and Asia. You're not going to be able to charge as much, but you're also not going to be able to have the same sort of level of profitability. Right now, about 2% of every of revenues goes to profit at BYD, about 10% of profit goes to a revenue goes to profit at Tesla. Ultimately, we will be able to get these cars in the United States and I do think about what that means for some of the competition and specifically. Yeah, that is the goal there. I mean, one of the big things about new ideas, it's been expanding globally. It means in Australia now. They've got deals now for Germany. They view themselves as a global company. They are going to use this period now when everybody wants to have EVs, but everybody doesn't have the capacity to produce enough EVs. They're using that as an opportunity to sort of build into the market. Also, they have, you know, they're doing something that China wants to do, which is to become more of a producer, global producer of autos. And just this morning, the Chinese Premier League went to be BYD's headquarters and to say, you guys, hey, add a boy. Get out there and do this for us for the future. I mean, they view that as one of the big potential consumer products of the future. And China wants to have a much bigger piece of that and a company like BYD gives them a beachhead than that. And I just want to point out, I mean, the ADRs do trade on the New York Stock Exchange. They're up for the year just shy of 10%, but I do think about the access for investors ultimately, especially when you're president Xi, it feels like really honing in coming in on certain industries and either restricting what they can do or whether they can be listed on the New York stock on U.S. exchanges. And I do wonder what the futures are how investors ultimately will continue to be able to tap into this. Well, I mean, the idea at least the Chinese would like the rest of the world to be able to help them fund the transition. But a lot of countries increasingly are viewing the auto business as a potentially protected industry. Something because it's going to be one of the biggest consumer products forever. I mean, it's transit is just that. And so it'll be interesting to see just how dependent do we want to become on foreign automakers who aren't German or Japanese. Got to say it does feel like the EV market is going to be a lot more competition to him and things could be changing. Yeah, not just here in the U.S. with Ford and GM, but also with the international companies. A lot more players.

"T Y. Hilton expected to miss the start of the regular season after re aggravating a neck injury. At practice last week earlier on ESPN radio are Courtney Cronin in Shape Peppler. The Colts need to let go stage their locker room like they need to take a page out of the Baltimore Orioles and what they did there in breaking a 19 game losing streak because it just feels like injury after injury for them Now, next on the list is T Y Hilton, who's got a back problem. They don't know the diagnosis with That, But I know Courtney, you've got some more insight as to what the deal is with T Y Hilton in Indianapolis. Yeah, Apparently he was injured in practice on Wednesday. This didn't come from the preseason game that they just played on Friday. That happened early, and then he came back out and he was able to finish practice. But now we find out Shea that he has a back and a neck injury and he's out indefinitely and that comes on the heels. And, like 24 hours, they find out that and then Sam Ehlinger, the backup quarterback as a knee injuries out for 4 to 6 weeks. I think that this Indianapolis team for all the steps forward that they were able to take in the last few weeks, getting Carson Wentz back at practice, the good at least, you know, positive news that they got with Quentin Nelson, who had the same foot injury that Carson once has. That it's not going to be the end of his season, either, And then they're dealt this blow the big one here, though, as I look at all of these injuries and trying to figure out which is the worst one is probably Ehlinger because you don't know when Carson once is really going to be ready to play. Is it going to be weak? One? They haven't put that timetable on him. Yet. That is still two weeks away. Your backup quarterback right now is Jacob Eason like it was supposed to be Ehlinger. But now he's out 4 to 6 weeks. That's something that I don't think is a should give them any confidence. That's a Big below Hilton, Like many

And our goal is to move young men and women thunder from the street economy, which you know way too often leads to violence here to the legal economy. And just last week we had a graduation of 46 young men and women. There was just unbelievably Moving emotional. We jumped one young man who had his brother being killed just two weeks earlier. He graduated with lots of folks who have been incarcerated and they are working incredibly hard. To be positive leaders in their communities see their joint graduation people who are 28 29 or 30, someone who never even made it to high school. Uh, we drive through graduation South Shore Cultural Center. It was it's beyond moving and People often say are so great you're given giving young men and women a second chance actually reject that, I think will give them a first chance. Yeah, and they are jumping at that first chance, and I would just urge our listeners to understand. Yes, we need to. You know where there's where we can arrest If you have people shoot or kill someone, one of the reasons there's so much violence in Chicago because so few people actually get arrested. They're no consequences. So when there's not justice in the And the traditional justice system and you have street justice and retaliation and we spend a huge amount of times trying to stop to make students stop retaliation. We also have to give these young men and women a chance to try to transform their lives. And the redemption is possible. And to see that literally right before our eyes. I can't tell you how powerful that is. And these young men and women, their mothers, their fathers. Now, you know they're working jobs with two men working at law firms downtown, which is unbelievable one working to boy people working in culinary construction. We have to give people a chance to turn their lives around. We have to walk with them and learn from them. And if we can do that We could get a much safer city. We could have a much safer city. What we're doing now. John is simply not working. It's not working. Arne Duncan's on a phone line hurt people hurt people, he said. You know when I look, though, at the two kids that shot l. A French one, pulled the trigger. The other was his brother and ran. The third person was in the vehicle and has not been charged. But when I look at those two faces I see two young men who are so angry and so sullen and so dangerous that I wonder if it's not too late. And if you had about 50 people go through your program and have a graduation. I wonder if it's just All too little or too late. There's a paragraph in your piece, Arnie. It's slow, expensive and risky work, and it's not full proof. But you point out research at the University of Chicago and Northwestern did you say, say shows Promise. We estimate you right there, Taking these programs to scale. Would cost 400 to $500 million a year. Wow. Um, it is not cheap, but we're spending John over $7 Billion.07 billion dollars a year. That's what our cities losing due to gun violence. People live in the city court costs jail cost police costs all of that. And that's not even talking about the level of trauma. That's what most heartbreaking to me is not the financial lost our city, which is devastating amount of trauma and pain and hurt. Our kids are growing up with where this has been been normalized it allowed to be normalized. I would say those young men I desperately wished they had been in our program. I wish we were working with them. I could take you out any day to one of our sites. We have lots of young men who come in looking like that. And, uh um it's fascinating to see the transformation is possible through love and high expectations and people challenge them to get better. I'll give you one story of a young man who was I met in Cook County jail. We recruit out of there who was extraordinarily angry. His brother had been shot, Uh, shot and paralyzed according to him that the police didn't even investigate whether it's true and I've got no one cared. In fact, he had to To go take take revenge, uh, avenge his brother's shooting. Remember the folks in jail, telling me if you don't get him, he's going to kill somebody. Um, that young man is actually won. The young man working in law from downtown now just got a huge promotion doing extraordinarily well, And so it's um it's not easy commissions, not You know, Linear. We have good days. We've heartbreaking days, but it is unbelievable. What is possible to your point, though the earlier that we can get to young people who are lost, Um, the better It is in the easier it is. And so we're working now, with three groups of Of younger teens. 14 15 15. Just because to your point, John, we're trying to get them earlier as well. Honey, I gotta go. But I'll talk to you about this a lot down the road because honestly believe in what you're talking about. I don't know where we're going to get the money or if Chicagoans would be willing to pay stipends to the gangbangers. They see on TV. And for some people, that's what it's going to look like. Yeah, well, I think what it is is I urge you to come out and visit our program and interview our young men. Weapons just hear their stories that are unbelievable, Powerful and way more articulate. And then I am on this. But we're paying them well. We paid young people to get their high school diplomas to get counseling. They worked with us and force for about a year and we transition them to the to the legal economy. We're paying right now. We're paying almost $2 billion in police salaries and overtime. Oh, yeah. Every better cook every negative course. Think about the negative costs. Think about the money that we're not making, because people are afraid to come down and shot for goods and services. So exactly so I could make an economic case. Can make an economic case, which had study from Bain. It shows a 20 to 1 ry 21 return on investment.

The Nottingham Cheese Riot of 1766
"It all started at the nottingham goose fair a traveling carnival dating back a thousand years. Maybe more that visited the area every october back then instead of rides or games of chance. The goose fair was mainly a food festival. It began as a livestock market. Where animals of all kinds including geese were traded among fair goers over time it branched out into other kinds of food as well but especially cheese in fact it became a primary reason. People attended the fair but never more important than in seventeen sixty six you see in the months leading up to the event. A poor harvest threatened europe with a nationwide food shortage. People were scared in the markets reacted. Accordingly high demand resulted in skyrocketing prices flour wheat corn and yes cheese. All saw an uptick in prices prices. That were beyond what most people could afford. But when the nottingham goose fair came around that year the prices weren't the only things. Rising tempers had gotten pretty heated to just one week earlier cheese had been selling for anywhere between fourteen and twenty two shillings per one hundred weights at coventry markets. The following week the goose fair saw prices double by today's standards that put the cost of cheese at nearly two hundred pounds too pricey for locals just trying to get by adding insult to injury. There was more cheese present at this fair than in previous years. All of it's just out of reach from almost everyone in attendance. Things came to a head on october second. When a group of merchants from nearby lincolnshire traveled to nottingham. They had come to buy hundreds of pounds of cheese which they plan to sell in their own county but the locals didn't take too kindly to having their cheese bought by out of towners only to be sold elsewhere. They were hungry and desperate. A group of young men stopped the merchants on the road surrounding their caravan offering an ultimatum. Either shared their cheese with everyone else or get. The cheddar kicked out of them. A fight broke out shortly after that. With a mob of fed up fair goers taking their anger out on the local shops they broke windows and liberated hundreds of cheese wheels rolling them into the streets and hurling them out into open

Done music podcasts. I really enjoy platform I started getting into this. I'm a history buff. My served in desert storm served in the balkans did four tours of iraq. And i did nine months inglorious kuwait and yuxi. When you're in these things when you're sitting in the chow hall and you see the news and you actually know what's going on. It's not always what you here in the states. What you get on your tv. It's not exactly what goes on down there. In the fall. I started going down. Listen to a couple of conspiracy theory podcasts. And there was some truth to some things and i guess my i read pill if you will was back in two thousand and four. I had a pretty high-ranking person of the day before we left to go home after the first war of iraq. And i mentioned to him he had a photo op with president bush. A couple of weeks earlier. And i was like well. I must have been cooled at the picture president bush and he said something to the effect of. Let me tell you something kid. The bush family makes the nazis. Look like sesame street and it didn't really. It didn't really resonate with me at the time because i just been away from my family for year going home tomorrow is going to drink beer. And then i heard a podcast about the entire bush family prescott bush. The grandfather he funded the germans and that's fact one hundred percent fat upset. George h w bush the the hinckley family and the bush family our friends. That is a fact john. Hinckley jr. shot reagan. We know that. Poppy bush they call them.

How long i've been doing this is there is a little truth to everything. Almost like a plausible deniability. They'll put an official story out but it's never ever in very rare cases. Is the truth. I went into the rabbit holes and they started getting wider and wider. You have to be careful. Because there's a big difference between we'll say false flags and hoaxes because in false flags people do get hurt. People do get killed so when you go into these things. You've got to be respectful. You gotta understand that that might be somebody out there who eventually listened to your show that was directly affected by it at the same time we know that a they call it the one percent. It's actually less than one percent. The true people who ruled the world. And i think my my thing is if you have an obelisk you're probably in charge of the world so we're talking about the vatican.

We're doing a lot better than the subjects of today's episode. Take for instance. Ricky mcgee in two thousand and six when he stumbled in front of a pickup truck of two australian ranch workers jacker ruse in local parlance. He's deeply sun-scorched. Skin hung off his skeleton. They weren't even sure they were looking at a man and not some demon of the northern outback. Things had been considerably better for mcgee ten weeks earlier. The thirty five year old was hale and hearty had just landed a new job driving along a baron north australia highway. He spotted a group of stranded travelers in their vehicle on the side of the road knowing it could be a long time before anyone else came by. He let some of the men get into his car to drop them at the next town. That was the last thing mcgee could clearly remember. He came to in the middle of the desert stripped naked and barefoot under the harsh sun which bonus bombards australia with more uv rays and other continents because of the hole in the ozone layer. Mcgee had nothing not even a notion of which way to go waiting for help to find him seemed fruitless so he began to walk each morning. He told himself today was the day today. He would see a house or town. At least a road he could follow. Each day ended the same as the day before there was one ameliorating factor in his situation. The rainy season had just ended and there was water to be found. He found a decent size waterhole and began to try to make a shelter. One week had ticked by before food. In the form of a lizard crossed mcgee's path he was able to catch and kill it with his bare.

"Or am afraid of the things that i'll have to give up. That might not want to give those things up. I might give them up and regret that. I gave them up. And so when. I was thinking along those lines. Then my thoughts would go more towards you know what this is not for me. This is their decision. This is their choice and they need to quit trying to cram it down my throat and so to answer your question. There were times in in seasons of my rebellion. That i that i felt both that i would go back and forth and i'm sure part of that was the holy spirit pulling me in one way and satan pulling me in the other way the election. Yeah yeah i can see that. So at what point did you actually surrender your life to jesus will as i mentioned had i was when i left home. I was gone for about three months. Maybe maybe a little bit more and it was crazy. It was after midnight. And i had already gone to bed at my friend's house. I was obviously and my parents were just on this particular night just completely emotionally exhausted and they were just beyond discouraged into the point that they were just about to break down and call me and tell me to come home. I live however i wanted to. They just wanted to be home with them but instead they did with. I always did. And they got on their knees in the living room and they cried out to god and they prayed a every time they found this new verse that spoke to them. They would pray about that. Verse in talk to god about that verse. So numerous they found was first corinthians ten thirteen which talks about god being faithful. When we're tinted and that burr says i will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. And in their pain they were just honest with god and they talked with him about that said they said this just really seems like more than we can bear but at the same time. They told me that they wanted to trust him. If they wanted to follow his lead so they prayed for direction they prayed for strength and they said that as they prayed that that this total peace just washed over them and amazingly at that very moment they were literally getting up off their knees in the living room floor from crying out to god and he had just filled them with peace. At that very moment. I came charging through the front door. A person who needed hope and healing a person who two weeks earlier had walked into an abortion clinic and bought into one of the biggest laws of all time. And i remember so well at night that i went home and how god softened my heart like. I said i was actually asleep. I wasn't even considering going back home. I wasn't even entertaining the idea of going back. I wasn't even on my radar. And i just all the sudden i just woke up just out of the blue feeling so depressed and so empty and and just completely hopeless. I absolutely hated myself. And i was miserable with guilt over the choices that i made especially the abortion. And let me just say that at the time as far as the abortion. A really didn't understand why it was wrong. Because i had never gone to church. Never heard anything about the sanctity of life. I never heard that heartbeats in two weeks. None of those things Were familiar to me at all. So i didn't really understand why it was wrong. Because the count the counselors in the clinic. That's all i knew. And they assured me that it wasn't a baby at all that it was just a blob of tissue. May what as soon as i left that clinic. I knew in my heart that that was not true. And i knew that i had just made the worst and the most selfish decision and i knew that i would regret it for the rest of my life. And this is even before. I'd come to know the lord and It didn't bring relief at all like they told me that it would in the clinic and found that brought on the complete opposite of what they promised it brought on a suffocating and all consuming bondage of guilt and shame and so back to that night that god softened my heart I just woke up. Like i said out of the blue and i just started thinking about my parents about this piece in his joy that they had found in jesus and it was a piece enjoy that i desperately wanted and so when i woke up that night it just hit me like a ton of bricks and i thought what am i doing. Why am i running from this. And so i called my boyfriend and he gave me a ride home because i still didn't have a car and even though it was after midnight. His mom was thrilled to let him come. Get me and take me home. Because she was one of the many christians that had been praying that i would go back home and cry and when i got home that night i walked into the living room where my parents had just been crying out to god and i said i'll follow your rules. I'll do whatever you say. Because i want what you've got and Yvette words cannot express how freeing it was that night as i prayed with my parents to surrender my life to jesus. It felt good. Because what i experienced before that was not freedom at all it was bondage and it was miserable and so are pretty much said. Tell my parents and said. I really want to know god. But i don't know how and daddy said well little girl let your daddy tell you how and so i prayed with him that night and it was the best decision i've ever made and it is the single most important decision that any of us could ever make. Yeah that's right well all right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back learning to write well. In order to effectively communicate. Ideas can be a challenge. For many students equipping teachers teaching parents with methods and materials which will aid them and training their students to become confident and competent communicators thinkers is key. The institute for excellence in writing is an organization dedicated to training mentoring and providing a model for teachers. In a clear sequential and effective method of teaching writing that reinforces history science literature and other content areas. Our methodology begins with content. So rather than sing to a child. Here think of something and learn to write. We actually give them.

We are back with ginger That is such a powerful testimony And hearing it reminds me of a fijian's for if he's to verse. Four says god being rich in mercy because of the great love with which he loved us even when we were dead in our trespasses. Made us alive together with christ by grace. You have been saved in. Your story is so full of the grace and mercy of a loving god who sees us he knows us he hears us And he it's. It's incredible to me to see that your parents were willing to just surrender everything to him. They didn't just surrender their hearts to him. And say we're surrendering our hearts to you but we're going to take over this other part of our lives. That are really hard you know. Our teenage daughter has moved out. she's been rebellious. she's living a life that we We know is destructive. But they trust in the lord for that and they prayed for god's mercy i'm certain over for his grace over your life and that god captured your heart and just true you to himself as it's just an incredible testimony so once your eyes were obviously opened. You walked into your parents house. they're you know. Probably still puffy. I and and you know and red faced from crying out to the lord on your behalf. What did how.

"It's politics with amy walter on the takeaway. On new day new administration. A new chapter for american politics began this. We shall right in american story of hope not fear of unity not division of light not darkness the story of decency and dignity love and healing greatness and goodness now came to washington in one thousand nine hundred and i've been lucky to witness eight inaugurations in my opted hometown. Naga ration- day here is like the fourth of july just in january their american flags and bunting everywhere anyone who lives or works in a building near the capital planes viewing parties from their rooftops. Streets are bustling with visitors full of nervous energy and excitement and of course there are fireworks fireworks this year. Of course most of that was missing the outgoing president who still never acknowledged the new president by name flew to florida. Fear violence which had been unleashed just two weeks earlier. By trump's false claims of a stolen election meant that the streets were filled with a wire and military vehicles instead of cheering on the national mall. All one could hear was the sound of the wind within through the flags. Place there as stand ins for the throngs of people who'd normally be crowded. I appreciate the criticism of all this pomp and circumstance that it over sells the role and responsibilities of the executive who is of course just one part of our system of divided government but i also believe that rituals are there to help keep grounded to give a structure in times of great tomo. Like we're in right now. That can be healing. No it's not a cure. All we know that millions watch that day with relief and hope for the future but for millions of others day was marked by anxiety and maybe even anger there are many challenges that lie ahead for the new administration a raging pandemic. that's killed more than four hundred thousand americans an economic crisis that has left nearly million unemployed climate. Change social unrest and a much-needed racial reckoning. The new president chose to spend much of his inaugural address focused on unity and optimism. Bringing america together uniting our people united in our nation. And i ask every american. Join me in. This caused uniting to fight the foes. We face anger resentment and hatred extremism lawlessness violence disease joblessness hopelessness with unity. We can do great things important things but he also knows the challenges that lie ahead at least of which a political and media culture that prizes clicks and confrontation overall else. There is truth and there are lives lies toll for power and for profit and of course congress that his party just barely controls. We'll make getting his agenda passed very challenging question because the senate has not officially passed a power sharing agreement start former president. Donald trump's impeachment trial republicans. Still control key. Senate committees european leaders. Mitch mcconnell and kevin mccarthy say the biden administration apparently decided it's first priority was to hurt american workers habit nominees could be stalled for some time and less republicans and democrats agree to move them quickly. After four years of norm busting president biden and his team are focused on a return to normal. But just how likely is that joining me to discuss all of this and where we go from here nick. Fan dose congressional correspondent for the new york times to- lou repoed national political reporter at the washington post and clare malone a freelance writer formerly a fivethirtyeight. Hey guys i'm so happy that you all joined me Let's start with where we ended and that is for years of donald trump's presidency in clare. I want to start with you By having you reflect on what you learned for the last four years. What told us about america. Would it told us and you about politics. Yeah i mean. I think this is my reflection kind mixture of politics and being a journalist but i i think we witnessed a pretty alarming acceleration of a trend. Which is the politicisation of facts. And i think that's probably the biggest structural civic wound that we're going to have to deal with going forward and it will take a long time to fix and trump basically amplified et fox media ecosystem conservative media ecosystem. That had been pretty insidious for a while. So i think that's a big problem to deal with. I mean i will say it's not quite as silver lining. But i think a lot of americans have become more attuned to maybe our feelings as the media or the country's failings narrative lead to convey the nuances of racism in america. And i think you know as the media and as the country we become reflective about accepting the massive influence that we have on politics and people's actions by the way we framed stories and convey facts so to me that those are the big things that i'm left with after four years of trump in office and five years of him. Frankly dominating the national conversation right and you wrote a lot to in a recent story actually about the way in which personality has trumped policy. I mean i think we've known that for a while but it seems that trump sort of made this complete right that the attachment to the republican party. We've we journalism have always attached to certain policies and yet when you see people flying trump flags it's pretty clear that no longer just about taxes and regulation right very much so i mean trump kind of his great insight politically was. He realized that people didn't really care. All that much about the the tax policies of paul ryan they cared about. You know what i think of. As a sort of anti contrarian strain That that a lot of republican party voters embracing because frankly the gop is a pretty white non college educated party in a country. That's getting more and more diverse. And i think that there are inherent fears among the population. Of what's my place. In american society going forward and trump's innovation was playing to those fears playing to control. And you know everyone is kind of against you theme and it worked really well and he had a big personality and he added a out size place in the american mind for decades and it was you know kind of a a magic formula. And i think we're gonna see that idea. Propagate trump the idea that people don't care all that much about policy that there's a lot you can do by just playing to you know rape spaded or just contrarian you know against the american mainstream order to win primary elections in particular in the republican party. Yeah i had one republican strategists. Say to me not long ago that the issues mattered. Less and your success. Is you know what you've been able to accomplish as someone either in office or in you know in your life. Your career mattered so much less than whether you were attached to donald trump tower blue. I want you to Reflect on on this era is well especially as somebody who covered him in the white house and covered his campaign. And and whether you think that this was just sort of a one off.

And I'm watching Nova programs on this groundbreaking work on training animals to communicate with humans work on signing chimps and dolphin studies, and I decide that's it. I've had this epiphany. Gonna change my whole field and do this work and I'm going to do it with a parrot. And the parents talk. They look live for a long time. I thought this was the most incredible idea in the world. And I'd be part of this this revolution. I finished the degree I study up everything I can in the field. I write my grant proposal. I submitted thinking, yes. No. The reviewers come back asking me when I'm smoking. The last time parents and humans were connected. Unlike apes where we're connected, you know pretty closely genetically 280 million years ago. All right, you know big, big difference. Parents. Unlike dolphins, they have these little tiny brain the size of a shelled walnut. No. But Alvin's have this big brain makes sense to work with him. Not with the parents. Plus I'm working with an animal. That's a pet. You know, I mean, how am I gonna get my scientific objectivity there? And plus I'm not going to use the standard scientific techniques of the day, Which means starving animal to 80% of its normal body weight sticking the Skinner box and go from there. No, no, I'm going to just talk. To the bird. Yeah, right. But I'm really determined. I go out and I buy a parrot. It's a great parent. That's the name of the species and the color. He's a grade different shades of gray. Bright red tail ways. It's about this big weighs about a pound. I named him Alex for avian learning experiment. So I started training him bite by giving it modeling system. He's learning a couple labels and I Put in the grant proposal, and this time I'm really lucky. I have somebody on the panel who studies birdsong, who recognizes the striking parallels between the development of vocal communication and birds and humans. So I get a grand for a year, and it was quite a roller coaster of a life. But at the beginning, we started this work. And in Alex's 1st 10 years he learned about know about 50 labels for objects. He learned to label seven colors. He learned to label five shapes 2345 and six cornered. He labeled different materials. He understood concept so I could show him the object nights and Alex. You know what's this? And he'd say, Block and his good birdie and what color blue Good boy and what shape for corner and what matter would And he combined these labels so he could identify 150 different things. This is a parent, brain size of shelled woman could label about 150 different things. He learned concepts of bigger and smaller. Like a chump to things and say, what's color bigger? What color smaller and he tell me, he learned and this was really extraordinary concept of same indifferent so I could shown to things and not just tell me that they were same or different. You could tell me what about, um, the same or different? So say what? Say me and you tell me color shape matter or none If nothing were saying or different and this was pretty exciting work and Analysis about 10 years old and I'm invited to the international prime until logical. Congress. This is a big deal. International Congress. I'm speaking in front of 1000 people, and I'm the only person there who is not a primatologist. I am the one person who has been invited to talk on comparative behavior. And I'm talking about a bird against sized brain size of shelled walnut to all these people are working with apes and and arrange a tangs and whatever So I get it when I give my talk. And at the end of my talk one of the silver we call Miss silverback males. One of the One of the senior, You know, senior primatologist gets up and I'm going. OK, Here it comes. You know, I'm just gonna get totally creamed and you know just well, you know that he did it very interesting little study. You did that. But you mean to tell me that your bird did something much more complicated than pre max apes. And I want to say Yeah, I'm backwards and in heels, you know, to be honest, No, I say no. And I smile say no, sir. You know, that's right. So he did and anything, okay? And he says, Oh, and he sits down. I'm going e don't have made it, you know? Okay. But a couple of weeks earlier, I got this letter from National Science Foundation saying, you know what? There's a nice proposal, but we ran out of money, so no more funding. I'm sitting there going, okay? How are we going to keep the lap going at this point, so we fast forward a little bit, and it was still very hard for me to get some recognition from colleagues. Even with these successes, there was always the question of scientific objectivity, and I dealt with it by treating Alex like a colleague. Um, the way I would treat my students, you know, you work with them. You teach them as much as you. Can you respect them, But you do draw a line between the way you interact with them and the way you interact with with your own Children or the way you'd and direct with your significant others. Keep that scientific objectivity and but You know we're doing okay. And again By this time we're doing a lot of publicity. We're doing Scientific, American Frontiers and Discovery Channel and 48 hours and Alex is about 15, and we get a invitation to do radio from the BBC. By this time, Alex. His personality is really coming to a four because he's learned not just to answer questions, but toe label into interact and ask me questions. And so now I'm thinking radio. You know, I could ask him anything. And I could say yes, Good boy, because you know they can't see what's going on. So I think, right. How am I going to do this? Okay, so I start the program. I said, okay. I'm holding an orange square piece of wood. And I'm going to ask Alex and questions. So you hear my heels, click, click. Click as I go into the room and Alex gonna ask you some questions going to do some work. Alex. What color little birdie voice? No, you tell me. What shape Okay, Alex, It's it's four corner. Neki. Tell me what color Tell me what matter Okay, Alex, It's wood. Can you tell me what color No. How many? Alex is one toy here and you know, part of me again is going. Oh, this is so cool. He's not just acting like a little robot. I mean, he's interacting with me is talking with me. The other part of me is going on. But they really want to hear him. Answer some questions. Somebody, Alex, come on. What color and he goes. No, Tell me what shape and I got. Okay, Alex time out. You're misbehaving and you hear my heels as I start to walk out the door, giving him a time out, and then comes a little birdie voice. I'm sorry. Come here. Orange. So, obviously I treated Alex like a calling, but he didn't necessarily treat me like a colleague. We gotta get get the media lab at M I t Big time I'm hired for temporary position, um, that could be extended to do use. The bird is a model for intelligent learning systems. But once I'm there and I start looking at all the gizmos and whatever they have I start developing for the sponsors. Animal human communication systems to enrich the birds lives. All these animals inter pet explorer Web browsers for bear parents, things like that. And those those of you who know the media lab know that the sponsors come who have given us all this money to do these things? Come twice a year to see what we've done with their money. Well, word had gotten out that there was a live bird, and they wanted to see Alex and they come through in waves. 5 to 7 minutes. What we were doing was showing him refrigerator letters, The things you show your kids to have him sound out the letters in the hope that somewhere down the road he'd be able to like we could put the letters together and he could maybe sound out a label..

"The testimonials from hundreds of happy and satisfied customers just like me. Mega pros gets the job done. Satisfaction is guaranteed. Chicago afternoon news this afternoon starts before with Steve Bertram. Steve, I want to play for you a clip from your show yesterday. You evidently talked about that new police crime bill, and that's one of the lawmakers and then one of the police chiefs in the area called in right. Have the police chief of cheap secretly crease. I'm sorry from Vernon Hills called in. OK, So then you set up an interview with him afterwards and asked him what his views on it worked. And after the ice talked about the crime bill, you asked him about how they're enforcing. The restaurant violations in his area. Do us a police Department of Running Hills as a suburb. What are you doing about the restaurant closures? Are you enforcing that? Are you looking the other way or I mean, that's a sticky situation. How do you handle that? Sure, it's very, very sticky. We What we really do is lead by example. We employ all of our members of the public and businesses to abide by the current state of the governor's executive order. We reinforce that we help explain that to people and we deal with complaints on the case by case basis, But you're not knocking on doors to see if there are people in the restaurants. No, you've got better things to do. That, of course, people are really struggling during these times on quite quite honestly, I think myself and other police departments are really focused on public safety during these times and really, really trying to keep, you know. Keep us safe. Was driving down the Stevenson and when he said, no, I laughed out loud. It was like Are you as if to say No. Are you kidding me? No way. Are we knocking on restaurant doors to see if there's violations there? No way of squad car goes by Vernon Hills. They see somebody sitting in the restaurant. They are not knocking on that door. Apparently not. No, but but but then notice too. I'm not Listen, Steve. I completely understand that, but I just can't help but notice that he also said we're more interested in public safety as though AH, pandemic is not a public safety issue. I know they're not the health police. But they are the police. And if those people are violating it it it's endangering people's health than if he had said We can't go by and not stop. If we see a violation, I think that would have been completely consistent. With the charge of a police officer as well. I mean, that's that's ensuring the public safety, but they're not going to do that. They have no, they have no interest in that. It's you know, you're right. I mean, if you're going to do strictly public safety, and the state says that this is an unsafe situation or not, that it's unsafe, But they're doing it to curb the spread. And strictly, maybe they should. But, um, I also understand this point that you know. They're building community and if they're alienating their business owners by doing that. Um, you know, there's a long term pain there, you know, And it just It speaks to the fact that a lot of people think and there have been studies that show that you know. 2025% occupancy is not a risk. When we first checked on the restaurants. We were afraid that the waiter touching our plate. Would spread the disease to remember that plastic silverware and all of that, you know, we know that's not the case. Now. It's it's not spread that way. So you know it's a different situation now. Yeah, we're learning all the time and fighting it differently. The Illinois seems to have peaked in its Infection rate. Minnesota Not there were that But Minnesota is now 50% capacity and restaurants. I'm not so sure that we couldn't go back to 25%. You were talking to a restaurant owner about going back to 25%. Sheep, She said. That'd be a good start. But we're not there yet. Yeah, the owner Twin Acres, you know? Interestingly, John. I was talking to our friend Steve Brian yesterday and Steve's on my show. Once in a while. He's a member of Parliament in England. And he you know, he said he wants to do what's right. But he was kind of Gathering information about how it's working here and you know, he voted for the lock down there and you know police are pulling people over there interrupting if there's a group of more than very strict situation there, But I was surprised he told me. That the public the public sentiment in England is that they would like to see further restrictions. They're not arguing for in their tight right now. They're not arguing for loosening the restrictions. They want it tighter. Why's that? Well, it's just a different view against they're more concerned about it more fearful of it. Mm. Wasn't England was in England was in Ireland that said that they had a three mile radius curfew. Like if your job was more three miles. What? You couldn't even go to your job. You had to stay in your house. And they had that for a matter of weeks somewhere, okay? Definitely in Ireland. A Tinker's five plumber see about three miles and I don't know about England, but I think that might be the case. But you know, and again. I don't know in England, but it Ireland. You have your county. On your license plate. So if you live in Donegal and you are seeing, driving and carry the police would stop you. They pull you over and say, what are you doing down here? You're not allowed. I'd have what Sharon's cousins live in Dublin. And he couldn't go visit his mom and carry just to check up on her and see how she's doing because it was too far of a drive. You know the situation of Vernon Hills in Chicago and all of the city and suburbs Chicago where people are dining and sometimes brazenly, sometimes sneaky, but it's happening. Always notice it with echo out Remember few weeks ago and Brendan I were Christmas shopping late in December, and we went to Aurora. And then I dropped off some gifts. That friend's houses in the suburbs of Chicago and We were in Joliet and everywhere I went. I saw people dying restaurants and you just couldn't help but notice it and the police weren't shutting them down. And I think the mistake we made was not being super aggressive in May. Or in June, and I know we were so anxious to get out and it was warm, But I just think now, if we had beat it back harder in In the spring and summer that now going into winter. Well, heck, we're well into winter now. We would not be in this position. And then Yeah, I just don't know, John. You don't know because again going back to Ireland. They were doing very well, I think at one point They were the best country in Europe. You know, we talked to call them and others about that. But then they loosened up in December. And open up the restaurant's open up things again and now they're in the worst situation in Europe. So you know, I don't know that a temporary thing takes care of it. I really don't know. I have no no. Right, right. By the way, John Online would. Why did you want to say, John? You're on WGN radio. What's up? I live in Hinsdale, and I'll just tell you we have the same issue here from a public safety issue where nobody really wants to enforce this. Village manager knows the police department knows, But you know, we have writing code rates in Hinsdale and all the restaurants are open. They don't even try to hide it. And when you talk to people,.
