Mockin' wise let's take a look at it out here we have the Dow Industries up by 84 NASDAQ up 82 S&Ps up 11 and a half gold contract up 250 trade in 1808 50 silver up 29 cents 23 dollars 95 cents an ounce light sweet crude up two bucks 67 dollars 68 cents a barrel notes and bonds the 10-year note down 7 ticks trade in 133 31 the 30 year off 24 at 160 502 and King dollar King dollars down 66 trade 92 898 euro 117 yen 109.68 the British pounds at 137 to 1 the U.S. dollar our phone number is<PHONE_NUMBER> give us a call folks want to know what's going on in your world and the world of the S&Ps let's take a look at them what do you have well we get another high out here today you we get over the highs of yesterday in the spy the high of yesterday was well the high it got over was 447 31 right now you're 448 35 I could say this contraction of volume today is pretty amazing folks okay but the bottom line is that guess what bottom line you're at higher price we take a look at the NDX 100 the three Q's now the three Q's had a major breakout yesterday uh three Q's up today 126 the contraction is pretty amazing man I mean we only have 17 million shares in the Q's so people are paranoid of buying it there's no doubt about that they bought it yesterday though they bought they got 34 million shares yesterday 17 million today but guess what if it holds price it wants higher price small caps let's go take a look at the small caps out here the IWM so the IWM bottom line now this is what's pretty cool actually this the IWM folks did what you know it was supposed to do technically technically went down to the bottom of its range rejected lower price had light of volume so it's like okay man you go to the top of the range and you know the top of the range in the IWM is 225 right now or 221 gold gold contract is in a confirmed ABC structure up to the 1894 level now and in intraday here we actually have another ABC structure on the way up which is pretty cool let me get this one for you because this is this was like a this popped this morning yeah there was right there it popped at 8 farted this morning now it hasn't made it yet but I always love it when there's one ABC structure inside the other and this is a small well it's not that small I mean we take the 809 yeah it's a decent one it's uh it's 22 30 20 31 points and no no no not 31 here we go it's a small one one second yeah it's this one okay so it's 808 well third well it's it is 31 it's 31 which you get you do this again bottom line this thing wants higher price more than anything yeah that's the bottom line so we took this out let me just look at this again one second so we had intraday there it is right there okay it's 807 that's not that big oh no this is the one I was looking at yeah because it did take it out that's 35,000 contracts versus 54,000 yeah that's it so this is the one over here so your b point is 809 yeah that's right so 15 24 it's a 24 a to b equal c to d uh so oh that's interesting it's 24 that still gives you uh 18 20 yeah we're at 18 oh wait so you get an intraday to 18 20 that's the real bottom line and if we go over to the dollar index you're going to see you know we came down yesterday with conviction wide price spread today and didn't hold price today you got to the uh 93084 you're at 92 289 that's saying that continues to want lower price notes and bonds we take a look at the note and bond we find the uh you have the note and a bond negative out here today and let's see if we get what kind of volume we have at us so this is going to get pretty intriguing now and this is why so notes and bonds folks okay each and every time that you've been going down you do not get volume well we have volume out here today uh you got 1.5 million contracts now you don't have a lot of movement but that's saying that okay guess what this thing can go low up so I suspect in 10 years probably going to go to 133 29 it's only two ticks lower than we are 133 31 the swing low there is 133 oh nine we take a look at the 30 year and the 30 year right now that's down 25 ticks that is laying out at 396,000 contracts it'd be pretty wild if this thing's going to stop moving this has a little volume too so we'll see where this baby shakes out this this is coming down on 369,000 contracts so all in all that's a lot of contract volume we take a look at some of the higher volume equities out here today you get AMC that's making a move higher it's up seven bucks in fact I think if you look at the is Robin Hood up too so you know it's interesting about AMC today folks I'm wondering if this is so the CEO of AMC networks after 25 years bottom line is retiring and so this morning I saw this and I'm saying to myself you know I bet AMC is going to go higher because people just you know AMC adhere you don't have AMC networks above the bottom line it's that may or may not happen but the bottom line AMC is up $7 this still has a shot position in it of 18% so let's go take a look at Robin Hood just because it's one of the meme stocks that the Robin Hood marry men and ladies a trade and you get Robin Hood up $3.88 and we have a shot position on this yet no there's still not a shot position that they're giving us on this just yet some of the other higher volume equities that we have out here today just going to be a really low volume market there's no doubt about that we have advanced microdown 78 cents you have kind of a corporations is up a buck 12 we had Macy's up a buck Airbnb they got some good action going up $13 Las Vegas Sands up

great setup great education check it out right here right now basil Chapman what's going on uh John for months and months and months whatever you're looking at we're looking at new all-time eyes it's just amazing isn't it it is amazing it is amazing i'm telling you for someone like me it's really amazing to basil because thank god i stopped shot in the market months ago but you know what i mean it's like it's a trip there's no doubt i mean it's what is interesting is that there are certain stocks and even certain sectors that have had very substantial declines and yet you can't read it in the market because the overall market itself based on our four key uh indexes that's the Dow S&P QQQ that's the index 100 and the IWM which is the Russell small caps i they've been holding so well and even and i think i've been saying this quite a lot how long that we even within groups for instance here all of a sudden out of the blue we've got we had adobe in the day which was moved into the Dow it's amazing how they choose this they put in all these texts into the Dow apples in the Dow you got Cisco look at adobe adobe is at an all-time high you've got Home Depot and the other end of the spectrum the one is tech and the other is just pure building materials and anything to do with it with you know improving the home um coming off it's high but still close to the high but that's a pretty big pullback that it had from the 300 and what's it 37 was it yeah 338 level down to 315 316 just in days and now it's trying to come back so that's been the name of the game i think fund managers have consistently said if that's not working i'm going to something else and when certain sectors get really decimated then they start putting the foot in the door and start to see if they can get some percentage gains and it's not one of you remember Joe Granville used to always say the late grand Joe Granville used to say when when there's a real bear market 97 percent of the stocks go down but we haven't seen that except for maybe three times since 2000s the low of 2009 march of 2009 most of the time we've had you know the 8 percent 12 percent 15 percent and the you know there was a 39 percent march of a year ago we were lucky to get long at the very bottom but uh it's been kind of rare so it seems to me that we've got it the mentality and i'll discuss this on my show the tiger technicians out this morning that there's a certain mentality and the larger trend it's kind of where else are you going to go and that's why the stock market is doing so well you've got the fed at your back i you know i suspect they're going to stay there for a little while but i thought i spoke to you i think it was last week i said we had gone short the the dow we had taken profits in the shorter term long positions in the dow diamonds and we had gone short and it looked great it went down for what iind you 30 down for a thousand points in three days and then thursday turns around so the dow is now lagging it was leading now it's lagging the s the cues have gone way above their previous high the s and p have gone just gone to new highs the dow's lagging iwm's lagging the dow so this is going to be a very important phase over the next two three weeks going to say uh the labor day weekend are we going to see um a catch up where all the indices make new highs all we're going to see as we saw remember back in january of 2018 i think was the new york stock exchange made its high and then it never got there for a long time i mean years so that's going to be the big thing i'll be looking at something where we start to fail and i i talk about the the dark news cloud cover where you've got to have a couple of things that just persist and they sit is is like the storm that we just had it just went right by with all the news and everything and and yep there was some down trees and stuff but actually the storm kind of missed us and is that really what we're looking at that the market will constantly ignore um rates will ignore the fact that the ship i spoke about this this morning about the shipping containers how how difficult it is to get them and how expensive and they even now there's a price war for containers in some plan i spoke to my nephew in australia sitting in australia and he said you can't get a container unless he over pays and i'll give you the this is the rear this is the number so listen to this folks okay i i bring containers in from china all the time okay and i normally pay seventeen hundred and forty five dollars that goes from southern china to tampa florida seventeen forty five been doing it now five years do you know that do you know what the cost is right now this is sick folks fourteen thousand five hundred well i see why my my nephew said that he had won price yesterday twenty thousand australian dollars and that's the equivalent it's unbelievable you know it's intriguing here so what's happened though i suspect what's going to happen and i don't know maybe six months because i was talking to the factories over there and there's plenty of people that are small like me that don't have contracts okay see the the amazon's of the world folks have contracts with the container company so they're not paying up so they're lucky right this is a cash price so that's going to change because when you're doing business in china what ends up happening whatever goods you buy in you normally you give them a deposit they stop making the product in my case i bring home stuff i bring fences in and all this stuff okay so the bottom line is that it's going to have to get down because that's not affordable for anyone you know so at some point it's going to get out you know we'll find out when you take a look at the baltic index um and you take a look at the chart of the baltic index here in fact be watch this i'll put this up right now this gets really interesting because you're going to see the thing that's amazing looking at this too is that this is this is at highs now this is tiny little dots that you're going to see here folks okay i want to put this on a 10-year monthly but i mean you're going to see you know once you got over you know word 41 47 i'm just giving you a you know you can see it's never been there ever you know and it's going to have to come down because if it doesn't come down well no this is why i was wondering this is what i don't get no i knew i started higher in 2007 it was a lot higher but i wasn't doing it then so i don't know but anyway it's right remember it's serious it's serious businessman yeah there's no doubt about it you know so what happens is i think they what happens most most probably is that um at a certain point they are forced to bring prices down when that happens that's going to be very important but what it is is that where the profits i mean if you're spending that much on containers and these are your products that you sell that's a serious thing so what i've been saying is that we've been along we're still long certain areas in the medical devices and that type of thing scientific uh devices and that's been working beautifully at all-time highs i think you've got to be very selective here but so far so good yeah i love it listen folks very easy to get news that i come over to our website at tfnn you hit that button buzz up

industry is up 70 nazis except us 91 s and p's are up 12 and a half let's go inside the ndx 100 look at the strength versus the weakness inside the ndx today hold this a big one look at this move holy cow pen do or do is up 22 jd.com's up 15 bydo is up nine to get net ease up nine i guess they're not worrying about uh what's going to happen on the clamp down to continue to clamp down well i guess it could be up 20 percent because pen do or do is still went from 188 dollars down to 74 and six months that's pretty intense no doubt so those are the winners inside the ndx 100 we take a look at the drag on the moderners down 3.7 percent of 15 bucks you get uh analog devices down 2.6 you get maximum integrated off 2.5 and you get adp down 1.6 let's take a look at adp and we'll take a look at these uh payroll companies so we come off the high well i had not much volume at the high come down off the high with some volume see when they're coming out with their numbers next october 28 so they already came out revenue wise 3.7 billion dollar 20 yeah they've they've been basically doing what they've been doing for quite some time but i can tell you uh economy wise it's always good looking at those payroll companies there's no doubt about it uh amc we'll take a look at amc if one of the targets out here so if you take a look at amc um you know you're higher today and have some volume amc to me i can tell you flat out though you're going to get bounces here but my take on amc is that you're going to go back down to 13 dollars you're 43.95 right now but we'll see what we'll see how that baby shakes out and i believe the reason that amc is jumping today uh well they're saying stock jumps as covid vaccine gets let me see what it says okay so that jumped as the headline a news newsletter a news article is jumps higher if the fda granted long-awaited full approval for the visor for the visor covid vaccine you know hey we'll see where this baby shakes out but when you take a look at these numbers inside that amc is telling is telling the world folks that they're going to lose money for another year it's longer than a year actually when you if you're watching tiger tv you're looking at these numbers right now um bottom line as far as you can go forward they're telling people they're going to lose money but yet uh the bottom line is that they keep bidding the stock up so it's pretty it's pretty wild watching this whole thing shake out let's go take a look at rblx so this is virtual reality which for some folks is reality so let's take a look at this robol roblox okay provides entertainment products and services the lowest 60 dollars the highest 103 they dollar wise they take in 633 second 33 million and this actually the last quarter is going to be well it looks like we want to make they're going to make money this quarter now they're growing exponentially they're growing by approximately 20 to 25 per year i mean you're talking about a monster number people like this whatever it is um and so you get your broke top side that's some decent volume yeah this one's higher price man you know we're at 89 94s game take this put this on a weekly yeah this is a nice setup this is a nice setup yeah see what it ends up happening up at that uh i just put it on a daily again yeah we'll see how this shakes out at the 94 it wants to run to the 94 that's what it looks like though uh the second one is unity software this provides this is the same thing okay graphic tools to create run and monetize real-time 2d and 3d content for mobile phones tablets pcs consoles below 65 the highest 174 this has a revenue of 264 264 million they're going to be losing money for quite some time they are growing at approximately 12 to no i have about 12 to 20 per year so that's that's a big number man there's no doubt about that we take this put this on a weekly and you get an abc up well this is see this is always cool when you when you when you take a look at some of these equities and you know you're looking at them folks okay it's always cool to do a daily weekly monthly that's the real bottom line now i did the weekly and the weekly is an abc up so you got 115 you get 76 that's a nice one it's a 40 point a to b so you got 132 and you're at 124 right now oh see this gets it yeah that's all right it got to 129 at 132 is your abc structure on the way up and i want to show you something else on the secular day though see how she could stop turning tracks at the lows of the downdraft that's that's the seller the same seller that's there most of the time that's a seller getting rid of more stuff that's you know it's running into serious resistance at that level but most of the time you go up into that place two or three times and then you're off to the races that's how that normally works that's that's you know so i wouldn't you know really let it get in any way let's go take a look at a couple of the big dogs amazon what amazon did do is that amazon came off its lows yesterday had some juice behind the move i i don't think amazon's done going down yet i think it you know that's even if we pull back a little see you know i was talking with basil um the thing that's pretty cool is that amazon took a huge hit man i mean you know see this this equities that are inside these indices that actually did take a huge hit i mean amazon went from a price point of 3770 to 3160 80 so 700 600 points okay you know for amazon that's still a lot that being said it looks to me like not not coming to resistance but if we get another little pullback that 3000 level is game and if you own amazon let me just see this you really wanted to go don't go there because that let me see this oh that's 31 75 well it really doesn't have to no because when we actually did come down there it's interesting we came down last on a weekly the weekly get into the bar and then rejected it and it did have light of volume so it really doesn't have to get down there again we'll see how that shakes out but it does not have to get down there again because it had already done it we go over to google and we take a look at google you know google just continues to want higher price i mean google's up 30 bucks right now and that baby is trading out at a price point of 2852 what's going to be intriguing here is that what we're going to watch more than likely in the next year but you know i think the market already knows it you're going to have the the government coming after google facebook and amazon i don't think the government's going to win any of those cases that's my that's my take on it do you know what i mean because they'll do i'm i'm talking about the interest cases because they already let them buy and get everything they want will slow them down a little maybe other than that it's status quo down just shows uh pulling back there status shows up 90 rolling up 47 uh nazek is up 85 s and p's up nine and a half stay right

are up nine and a half let's go to our man Dave in Chicago hey what's going on brother how you doing tom uh i'm checking in with you again last time i spoke to you gave me a lot of sad news about oh i h and uh there's life after death man listen man i've been thinking a lot a few days ago you know listen i've been thinking a lot man i yeah and i'm not kidding okay because i've traded the oh i h so many times man and i'm at my kitchen table like yesterday before i'm seeing myself oh is he gonna be is he still in it or not okay so i saw one exploded top side the good news is there's life after death you made it through it okay now let's talk about it because now now you're gonna be really happy no cool i don't know how you took it but guess what you took it which is great um okay so let's take a look at this the oh i h folks okay bottom line is that you get the oil service at etf the low for the year out here is uh 87 the high is 248 you're at 183 right now and this baby rejected the lower price at the lower end of the consolidation uh and what it did you know what i was worried about uh you know basically and i could see why you would have got out of it is that when it it broke that low man and then it closed above it which was like oh man that's a trip on friday last friday right mm yeah so anyway the bottom line is that now the way these stocks trade and you'll we once you're on this like i had traded i think i traded these about four five years in a row at one point um but that's not my take now is going to 248 it did what it had supposed to do man you know what i mean went down there cool rejected it had the number you got a sign of strength yesterday um you want uh oh in a weekly if i put this in the daily you can see it's pretty clear in the daily on the daily it's it's you know i mean that that broke that downtrend man um on the daily it's like you know realistic you're gonna get flack at uh like 193 there'll be flack so the the first leg should be easy to get to up to that 193 to 201 area then what you'll probably what you'll see is that you'll build some cars there and that's what you want to dave okay you do not want the straight line move all the way up because if because it will run out of gas if you get to the first level you go back and forth for a week or two weeks right then you're going to get what you want man right to the top of that again so yeah you're in so would you add on the dip on the on the pullback or would you you know i mean in terms of if you were looking to add would you wait till the it pulls back a little bit on that 190 something resistance area that's a good way of doing it you may even let it go up there first right and then wait for a pullback right yeah yeah wait for it to come back it's often a little bit and then reload or you know that that's a good way of doing it because what happens there is this then the analysis is like okay it really is moving it's up to that point you know what i'm saying you're gonna be able to see okay has their volume expanded a bit as it goes up to there okay and then what y'all would you want to know and this is where folks okay when the equities go against you can actually learn more so the first pullback that's when you're really going to get the market's going to give you a huge amount of information and what you're going to be looking for is this so today we get 754 thousand chairs yesterday was 732 okay so it's even better we're going to get probably 800 thousand today so as you get up to this let's say let's say we make it 200 by friday you probably can make it 200 by friday you know that's not and then when it pulls back you want to like 10 to 20 lighter than how it's gone up and just pay attention to you don't have to pay attention to whole streak here pay attention to how it came off the bottom and how it's trading right now and if that's what you get you get some really good action then that's telling me that okay man now we're building costs to get to higher price and you get some action then i just make sure that even though in this in this one this is not the exxon mobiles and the you know chevrons of the world we have inside of this one you get the slumberge okay you get the slumberge and haliburton so what to do there is go over and take a look at slumberge where is slumberge i should know that by heart s s there it is okay s lb so you take a look at those because that those waiting structures are so big yeah that's a nice setup man okay i see you can see this even in shambazay she that the swing point got broken comes back on the other side it's a nice setup man and it's the same type of setup and i would take that and then i i'd look at haliburton and that's the first thing you should do every morning that's a real bottom line because where those are going you're going man and that's just a good confirmation and it gets the haliburton strong man hey town if i could sneak in a related one i mean you might have talked about it earlier but where do you see oil potentially going up to before it's yes let's take a look that's a great it's great it's and it all of this this is what's really cool about this trade folks this whole trade is about the dollar index going south and oil i mean this is a monster moved by oil is going all the way back up to 73 75 bucks man i mean look at this move this is crazy in two days we've gone from 61 to 67 wow yeah but you know guess what that once that dollar turned okay and it you know it went down good yesterday today it's really you can say it's flat it's down 66 takes with flat if we get one more day let's see if we get tomorrow or the next day folks with a wide price spread in the dollar index what it will give us is that it will give you a break of the trend i believe let me just look at this for a second okay so you need a couple days now if we get if we get a move like we got yesterday even within by the end of this week you're going to break the whole trend and that's saying that the dollar index wants to get on 89 so sweet yeah i know it is it really is man i'm really happy for you man well yeah i need to make more i need to make more money from all i ate so i can pay more money at the pump so wow that's uh you you it's pretty tough hanging in there like that and so i know i know what the difference is so you had a smile in the face yesterday it's pretty amazing how that came off the bottom isn't it that was like oh my god yeah and well especially when stuff plays out like it should you know when you see it when you said like it closed above yes and it was kind of almost don't you you're like is that a trick or did it really happen you know and i gotta show you this folks okay because because what has happened here on this equity folks okay i always pay attention to when anyone calls with any equities and they're on my board but because i traded these equities so many times this one really was because i know and i've been in your situation trust me so it's like oh man and when i saw this on friday so picture this folks look at this did this got down to 16511 and it closed at 16667 right 16667 right and the bottom line is is that oh it you know it just it just saved itself man i mean like by a whisper right let's it's all right well thank you tom okay man have a great one have a safe one all right and

If you're still watching me, Jason Dominguez's base cards are going for $200, did you say, in this first edition? Did I hear that correctly? He usually hit one per box, so let's overbuy the Yankees has a pretty much good opportunity. And can you get autographs out of this stuff, or is it just paper and numbered? I don't know, so a lot of teams suppose that stuff's on fire, got multiple calls from them. I guess, right? Oh, Teddy, we only had packs on the website, and Teddy sold them all out? That's right. Oh, there's a color right here. Do you see that? I don't know how often that it comes out, but. All right, so you guys tell me if you guys are still watching whoever it is. What's the big first name besides Jason Dominguez? I'll have to study up on this. All right, good luck guys. Sam Huff is the first, an Adley. Esteban Floriel to 150 for the Yankees.

Have a great night.


It's Wednesday. It's 11 o'clock. It's April the 21st, 2021. Welcome to What Now America. I'm Tim Apachele, your host. And today's title is GOP Concern of Extreme Candidates in the 2022 election. You know, under Donald Trump's leadership or the lack thereof, the GOP lost the president seat. They lost two critical seats in the Senate. Now they did pick up some in the House. But thanks to Donald Trump and his campaign strategy and, of course, the big lie, it hasn't gone well for the GOP. And I'm not sure 2022 is going to be any better for them. In fact, that is the concern. They are concerned deeply that we're now a party of cult for Donald Trump, following Donald Trump's personality rather than any platform of ideas or policies. The GOP has void of policies in a platform. And they're concerned. They're concerned and states that should be an easy dunk for winning the 2022 election. And there is actually discussion and concern that they may not. So that's the topic, the main topic of the day, and we have others. But let me go to my guests. Good morning, everyone. I'm welcoming Jay Fidel, Stephanie Dalton, Winston Welch, and of course, Cynthia Lee Sinclair. Good morning, everyone. Morning, Tim. Hey, Jay. Yeah, welcome.  Or do we go to the point where you talked about, and that is Donald Trump is losing his luster. He's losing his hold on the GOP and his cult of personality is starting to fade out. Which way is it? The latter. Except there are a lot of factors going on. Let me identify some of the factors. It depends how close to the base I am, and it depends on how much time goes by. There's nothing so constant as change, and we are definitely in a transitional time. So right now, we're only 90 days out, but this is going to start to get serious next summer and on from there in the campaign. So a lot of things are likely to happen. And the Democratic group's attraction is growing. I think that Biden is doing a good job. A lot of people perceive that and they are learning from him that yes, you can be president and rational at the same time. And I think that it gathers and attracts people who might have been fringy on the Republican side. And then of course, as we talked about before, Trump is not getting publicity, he's not getting Twitter. He's hidden and he doesn't have the bully pulpit at all. And he can't pardon people. He can't make crazy proclamations. And as I predicted, and we all predicted a few months ago, that this power was going to slough off and thus his influence. And then money. And money is a wildcard here because there are people who gave to Green when she was craziest of all.  But I would suggest to you that that's going to be on the decline. It's not nearly as attractive as it was. And I think although you could point to a lot of money that's going to those people, it's going to, it is declining. The corporate world, the corporate world sort of had an interesting moment in the Georgia Anti-Voting Rights Act, Bill. And they got liberated in a way. I'm not saying they're all going to go to the liberal side of things, but I'm also saying they cannot afford to be on the skin side of things. And I think that at least some of them are going to peel off that and not going to be as obvious, but they're also not going to give us much money. It's a factor. Okay. Let me let me address that point. If you're Mitch McConnell and you told them to keep their nose out of politics, they should probably listen to that until Mitch McConnell did a reversal and said, oh, well, when it comes to donations, keep it coming. Yeah. I'm all in favor of them keeping out of politics, but what worries me is they give to the wrong side. And I don't think it's a frog on conclusion. They're going to keep on giving to Trump and his friends. In fact, for that matter, they may be a little skittish about the Republicans. Remember what's going on in the news every day, Black Lives Matter. And we are talking about trying to heal the wounds. We're trying to deal with the racism in the country.   Am I right? Yes. Okay. I got more. I got more. You got more. Okay. So the Bolton poll you mentioned before the show began. I don't believe Bolton, but it does sound persuasive. What did you say? 55 percent. Well, let's qualify what the poll was. This was a poll, survey poll with only independents, not Democrats, not GOP, just independents only. And the favorable for Donald Trump is 37 percent. The unfavorable was 55 percent. With those same respondents that filled out the poll, 48 percent for those people were favorable for President Biden. So quite a switch. Yeah. Well, and there's other factors too. You know, Republicans coming out in favor of Democratic propositions, Republicans coming out of actually having a platform where a Republican party for the past few years, especially that Trump didn't have a platform, didn't have a platform at its own convention not too long ago. Okay. Then you go on to the prosecutions. The prosecutions are undermining Trump's credibility. Now, they may or may not ultimately succeed. They may not ultimately throw him, you know, keep him out of office or keep him out of the political game, but they undermine his credibility and want a lot of people. As I mentioned, the Black Lives Matter is so much focused on that that has got to be having an effect on public opinion. And I think it's probably an effect that takes public opinion further to the left rather than the right. Although some people see it as a skinhead opportunity. I think for the most part, people see it as a time to get liberal. The crazy statements that Green and others make, you know, they've got to be, they've got to be of some concern to the Republican party, because she is, you know, she is making crazy statements. Who wants to be associated with that?  These are crazy statements. And if you like McConnell, I don't know if I would, but if you like McConnell and you like Pence, you're going to say, what is this? He's dividing it up.  So he's separating his own group. That's not smart. And it's likely to make him less influential. And finally, the press. The press is there. The press is relentless. I know it's not Fox News. Fox News is still as wild as it ever was. But the other press is having an effect because it's consistent and it's credible. So I think that, you know, that's going to continue and it's going to have an effect on everyone who watches or hears about it.  If you saw the 60 minutes piece on Sunday, that was really scary. They're out there. They're still doing their thing. But on the other hand, they're being prosecuted. Some 400 of them are being prosecuted and investigated. And they're flipping. And we've got to see how that works out, because that could have a huge effect on this question, Tim. There has been no commission, so to speak. No insurrection commission. I don't know why Nancy stands in the way of that. Maybe she sees that somehow political risky. I see it as necessary. And a lot of people do. And unfortunately, regrettably, there was no impeachment. And furthermore, that the Republicans in the Senate were never called to task. So that's a problem. It almost makes you think that, you know, are they right? Maybe they're right. Maybe it was just boys will be boys on January 6th. And I think some people are affected by that kind of comparison. And finally, the big question which, you know, makes this all unanswerable is what's happening here? You know, the country is changing in so many ways. The one thing that I think is more effective than anything else is that we have a rational precedent. And people are saying, ah, it's time for rationality. And if he stays rational, even through all these other transitions, I think will be in good shape. And the GOP will begin swinging left. That's my answer. All right. Well, it's a good one, Jay.  I'm going to go to Winston, but listen in. And that is, they say all politics is local. It starts local. The concern is from the GOP is that some of these extreme candidates, one comes to mind is Senator Amanda Chase from Virginia. She is the Trump in heels. That's her self proclamation. They're extreme candidates and they're following in the path of an extreme president, ex-president. But the concern is, yes, they win the primary. Then of course, when it comes to the general election, there's not enough support to support an extreme, bizarre candidate. Winston, you think that is a correct generalized statement or does the more extreme, the better, like Donald Trump was? Extreme is never better. No matter what it is, it's never better. I think we just saw what extreme led to. So you said all politics is local just for those folks watching. I think what I'm looking at here is that in our senators, 24 Democratic and Hawaii, one Republican, 47 Democrats in the House and four Republicans. So that said, 30% of the people in the state at least voted for Donald Trump the second time. So numbers don't always add up. Polls don't always reflect what people are really thinking or feeling, or they may not feel like they have a choice or a vote in in what people are saying and what they're doing. So I think we need to kind of step back. And that's why these polls where they were predicting the blue tsunami, this last election, and it didn't happen because there's still a lot of people willing to hold on to these fringe things. And you look at Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is the head of the Republican Party right now, I think in many, many ways, or a strong section of it because look at her fundraising totals. They're enormous. That said, I was heartened to see that the people that took a stand on the January 6 riots at like the Liz Cheney, that those 10 people got a boost in their fundraising as well. So there were people that were stepping back and saying, yeah, you know what, reclaiming my party, I think is where that might be. Um, you know, I just noticed how calm we all are right now today compared to two months ago. This is not a coincidence. It's not because we changed from hunting out oats to Cheerios. You know, it's because we have a sane leader. Look how positive and optimistic Jay is. Like I was thinking like, well, what happened here? Because he's calmer now. He's thinking that people are going to come around and change to Cheerios. Well, it could be the Cheerios. And now, if that's, I've gone from caffeinated coffee to decaffeinated coffee. I am a common mellow as I can possibly be. Whatever it is is working. And so I think though that it's from the top. We have a sane, logical, rational, kind, empathetic human at the top of our political system right now. And that is bleeding all the way through everything from what we call people to how we name people instead of illegal immigrants.  The country's also moving on. But it's moving on sort of in a bipolar fashion. I noticed like there were these these horrendous bills against trans kids that in Texas, if you let your kid even express his trans, they may take your child away and put your child into foster care. This is insane. In other states, they will, you know, take away medical licenses of doctors who advocate for treatments that the American Medical Association, Association American Pediatric Association are saying this is proper treatment. So you're having that on some hand. And then you're having California on the other hand and Washington Washington state adopting a no gasoline cars may be sold in 2030. This is not the far feature. This is eight years down the road. And they say, and you can't buy it in Idaho either and come across the border and register it. So the country's already moved on from Donald Trump. It's moving on in these different ways. Eventually the hopefully the Marjorie Taylor Greene type of insane voices of Jewish space lasers and all of that. But just the ilk of the ugliness underlying a lot of the message will be gone as time goes by. But it will still be there. Of course, no matter what we do or who's in power, but I'm really heartened just to see how we've come so far in such a short period of time with proper leadership and role models. So I'm enjoying Jay's optimistic. I like the fact that Joe Biden's personality has kind of permeated both the stratosphere in the lower atmosphere of our existence. And it seems to be working. So yeah, good point, Winston. I appreciate that. Stephanie, I'm going to read a quote from a gentleman by the name of Scott Jennings. He's the former advisor for Mitch McConnell. And I think what he wrote was to sum up very well the concerns of those same GOP party members, not the extremists. And he said this, votes to balance their desires for certain kinds of personalities, the desires for certain kind of policies, but also their desire to win. So I mean, to weigh those things out. I mean, many people love the cult of Donald Trump and they want to stay with it. But does that necessarily guarantee a win in the 2022 election? And I think that's what Scott Jennings was trying to get at. The answer is probably not. Your thoughts about GOP concerns and the rational thinking members of the GOP. And are they well founded to have concerns for this coming election? Well, I was so excited to hear Jay's culminating comment about Joe Biden and his opinion of his leadership. And of course, Winston was very complimentary also. And I think this is so important that it came out like that. And you're speaking to it because he's not like headlong bashing into his opposition. He's doing what he knows he needs to do for the benefit of the people and according to the Constitution. So he's not grandstanding anything. He's just moving in the best way he knows possible. So all of this influence that he's putting out, you know, doesn't have any curang and bash and drums. It's just the best thinking he can do. So that is now, my worry was maybe that was going to be too subtle and not, and will take a long time to be a model that people recognize. But maybe as you said, Jay and Winston's bleeding through, it's bleeding through this comprehensive thinking about issues being informed by his story, history and the trends and trajectories were already on. That this is making a statement to people about the confidence that we now have in the White House. And another point I wanted to share was that I heard over the weekend on NPR about, or whenever I heard it, about Benjamin Franklin and his design of the national seal. And if you'll recall, there is an eagle on that seal. And so it was about the Native American influence on the development of our government. And it comes out of the Iroquois nation's ideas of how we work together. And Benjamin Franklin was directly influenced by their chief who in the eagle representation in that national design, one of the eagle's claws is holding a bunch of sticks. Okay. And what, well, who knew what that meant? Well, what that means is as the chief told Benjamin Franklin, you take one stick, he brought it up, he broke that one stick over his knee. And then you put all these sticks together and you can't break those sticks over one knee. So I think he was speaking to the critical notion that guides our country is federalism. And also having the independent states. But we're still in the Civil War was a part of this state's rights. This is how, how do we get that bundle right so that it strengthens everything and keeps the states as they're passing these crazy laws and extreme expressions of their needs that they feel in these places. How do we get that best balance of having that bundle of sticks to protect everybody and to make us strong and respected? And yet the sticks contain, you know, individual states, agendas and purposes. So anyway, I just think, and Biden kind of, you know, represents that high level thinking that actually was the instigation and the influence on our budding nation. And it's a high note to have to follow up on.  You know, Cynthia, going to you, we have a question from a viewer, but I think this question kind of ties into what Stephanie just said, and that is those states, the bundle of states, but some of those states that pass these extreme measures, we know we have some extreme measures and they're certainly out of place in this day and age, but the anti voting rights that have been passed by Georgia and some other states are certainly considering them. But we just had one passed here or yes, it's passed in Florida. And that the question is, Florida passes an anti riot law that grants civil immunity to drivers who hit protesters. And the question is, should we expect more extreme laws like this? Crazy. So, you know, what do you say to a state that passes the House and passes the Senate, and I don't know if the governor signed this into law, I can't believe the governor would sign this in the law, dissent is going to be a candidate in 2024. But if this is true, which I haven't verified, if Florida did pass this, what does it say about the mentality of the GOP passing these kind of things? And does that play into the national GOP party concerned that extreme factions of the party are going to lose the 2022 election and therefore seats in the Senate and more seats in the House? Well, gosh, that's a lot. Well, I guess we'll say the Florida laws pass. It's an extreme law. Your comments about that, should we expect more crazy laws like this and falling down the Trump path? Or does it write itself up and go back to a more moderate position that the GOP used to be in years ago? I guess I was trying to understand what the viewer's question was, separated from sort of all of the stuff that you put, or was that part of all of the stuff? Okay, the viewer's question is, should we expect more extreme laws like this from the GOP and from those Trump red states? Yes, I think we should, without a doubt. Why? Why do you expect that? Why do you think that? Information campaign that is still going strong in those states. I hear from people there, and it's just like these crazy talking points. And I think, where did you hear this? Oh, Fox News, or oh, it was on the news the other day. So it's not just on Fox News. It's on regular news out there. They're normal news. So these kinds of things keep them in the dark, I think, or, I don't know if it's exactly dark, but I know when I moved to Alabama, I felt like I had gone to a different century, not just a different state, because everything was so backwards and different. And the way people think is so strange. And then to go sort of to the GOP part side of that. Okay, Governor Eric Gretens, I don't know if I pronounced his name right, but he had to resign in disgrace because he was taking sexual pictures of someone without their permission and then passing them around on the internet without their permission. And also, apparently, had abused her too and assaulted her. So this isn't a good guy. He's gone, we think. Oh, he's running for Senate in 20. I mean, and the GOP isn't saying no, I don't think so. And so that's where I go. Why is the GOP just going, oh, here, we'll just roll on board? What?  I'm glad you brought it up because he resigned in 2018 and Hugh Hewitt, a very conservative talk show host, very, very, you know, I like Hugh Hewitt and some of the things he says. But he said this, you're talking to a Republican, I just want to win the Senate, Eric. And I'm afraid you'll be a Todd Aiken 2.0. So this is the point that GOPs are trying to make is you got a guy who had the governor who had to resign in 2018 for these horrific things he did with this woman and he thinks nothing of it needs running for Senate. Does the GOP have some legitimate concerns about these kind of candidates? Yes, they do.  They want more people like that so that they can, I think anyway, they probably want more people like that, which would help things going for them. And we know Marjorie Taylor Greene just started a new caucus, the America first caucus to preserve Anglo-Saxon political, I can't remember the rest of it. Wait, I'll get it.  She wants to preserve racism. She wants to preserve backwards thinking and voter suppression. That's what she wants. Now, Georgia, I gotta say, I'm shocked that they did what they did this last time and this last election getting more or not and I can't remember the other guy's name now. But those guys elected, that really surprised me. But if we can keep, I think the African American community and the voting public really engage there in those kind of states, maybe we can make some changes. But the white people, forget it, I'm sorry. You think they're too far gone? Well, maybe not so far gone, but they're so ensconced in the way they believe and they have no exposure. So they don't know any better. So in a way, some of them are ignorant. Most of them are ignorant by choice. They know better and then they choose not to know better. So that's my thinking on it all. All right. Well, I appreciate it. I think we've kind of covered this topic quite well and if you're going to have the Eric Gretens of the world run for office, so be it. It'll be a Democrat seat in a red state of Missouri. So let it continue. Let them continue to be extreme because it'll all go into a blue column. Hey, Jay, how's Joe Biden doing on the vaccination? 50% of adult Americans have been vaccinated, at least with one shot or at least. How's he doing? And what kind of road does he have to hoe to get more Americans vaccinated? Well, don't forget it's been politicized. And there's an astronomical number of people who don't want to take it all for bad reasons. And that's his challenge. He's got to appeal to them, change their minds. And I think it's a political issue as well as a science issue. In fact, first political and science. When you hear the reasons they give for not wanting to take the vaccine, it's not persuasive and it's really silly. How do you feel about Joe Biden providing credits to employers that allow their employees off to get the vaccination and they'll get a credit? Good move. We've got to get this done. We really have to get it done because we can have another surge so easily and some places they're having surges so easily and some places they ignore all the rules, the masks, the distancing and the vaccines. It's like insanity, it's like suicide, community, social suicide. So he's got to deal with that. And I think he's doing the best job he can possibly do. It's like dealing with crazy people, but that's what you've got to do with part of the job. I want to add one of the things since we're almost out of time and that's this. We've spoken about how rational he is and empathetic and good policy, good thinking, good people, all that. And I hope that reaches into these communities that Cynthia was talking about. And maybe some of those people will hear about this and warm up to him. However, the big mission for the Republican Party, all sides of it, in Washington is to stop everything that Joe Biden does in the center, stop everything, make him look powerless, ineffectual. And the metronome we talked about last time ticks from one side to the other. The days go by and these initiatives are not happening. We don't have infrastructure. We don't have immigration. We don't have gun control. There's others too. And so what troubles me is that because as reasonable, rational as he is, he's got to have some accomplishments under his belt. And I don't think he can do all the accomplishments necessary to have the country follow him and take his signals if he can't get anything through Congress. And the other thing, the last thing I'll mention is that watch out for Russia. Okay, we know that Russia and Trump have a connection. We know that Russia would agree with Trump, stop Biden, stop every initiative, make Biden look foolish and ineffectual and weak. And now we see all these provocative things that Putin is doing in the Ukraine and Odessa. We see all these really horrible things he's doing with Navalny and the like. He's taking these hard positions and leaving Biden with this dilemma of whether to take aggressive action against him, like ever increasing sanctions. I'm not sure that really works well. You know, we're sitting on the side watching it happen. My concern, okay, is that Putin is a shill for Trump. And Putin is going to take the steps necessary to make Biden look bad. And that gets on this whole bandwagon of making Biden look weak. That's a real challenge for Biden. That's what I'm saying. Okay, thank you. Hey, Winston, we're out of time. Your last comments for this week or the week to come, your last observations or comments? I suggest that people read is the second most read opinion in the Washington Post today. The Republican Party is beyond salvation, even without Trump, a column by Max Boot. It has some interesting points in it. I would like to think that it is salvageable. But it's sort of like after a company comes out of bankruptcy. Do you trust them again? And when you do trust them, they get a secured credit card or whatever it is. But I think that's where we are. And I think that, but there's a lot of people that do want to reclaim their party from the chaos and nonsense of the last few years. So I'm definitely in the hopeful camp if Jay Fidel is. And that's where I'm going to stay this full week. So. Alrighty, you know, Max Boot, former Republican, so by no means a liberal. Yeah. Hey, Stephanie, your last observations from this week or the week to come? The United Mine workers are all for the Green New Deal. They're on Biden's side for that. They're also there for moving away from fossil fuels. And so we have a huge, huge advantage here for Joe Biden's being able to. Does that help Joe Manchin? Sure. Well, sure. Because Appalachia is mining. I mean, West Virginia, they're mining. I mean, they're coal mining. Yeah. And the other issue is, as Cynthia has addressed and everybody, the disparate understandings and viewpoints that everybody has and the lack of any of our reps and senators getting their feet held to the fire for what the job is requested to be by the Constitution. You know, we're not having any of that happen. And I'd like to submit to President Biden and the administration that we reinstate what we've lost from no longer having the draft. And that was only young men then. But we need an experience of every single person to get themselves into a service organization. Now you can take it around the world or send them to Alaska or the North, the South Pole, but something where everybody has to spend X time in this thing. And they're all, you know, squirrely up from where they come from. So the Washington State person meets the Florida person, the Alabama person meets the Alaskan and the whole. So we get some people to understand that they're closeted and they can't see beyond their own borders. And at least giving them that youthful experience and a portion of good service work to do for big causes, home or abroad or whatever it please. Let's do it again. Not the Peace Corps, yes, but not everybody was right. I love the concept of re-energizing our social contract with America and our fellow Americans. Good point, Stephanie. I'm glad you brought that up. Again, it's out of our basements too, by the way, for 18 months. Right. Exactly. Okay. Cynthia, we're out of time, but you get the last word. Your observations of this week or the week to come, your last comments, please. I almost don't want to say anything because I'm so on board with Stephanie's. That is brilliant. I think we totally need to get that started. I totally agree. I want to jump in and totally agree. Stephanie, that was brilliant. That's a really important idea. Partly new, but I mean, it just comes up in my head, especially listening to Cynthia's Alabama stories, like why are they so uninformed? Come on.  We are smart people. It's just our opportunity to know is so limited in some place. I agree with your idea of it being required when you're young, because what I found was a lot of the people in the South are ignorant by choice because they want to be. Because in this day and age of internet and everything, it's impossible not to know, right? But if you're exposed to other people, then it's a whole different story, right? When you get out of your own zone and get into somebody else's, I think that's awesome.  It was the first time since 1959 that there will not be a Castro that is leading Cuba. All right. Good point to everyone. I love this show. God, I guess the greatest minds in the greatest comments, the best in the West. All right. We've run out of time. I want to thank my guest, Jay Fidel, Stephanie Dalton, Winston Welch, and Cynthia, Lisa and Claire. Thank you for joining us on America Now. Join us next week, Wednesday at 11 o'clock. I'm Tim Apachele, your host, and we'll see you then. Aloha.


�donght generous �強th, �其 ὀ Ὁ. Ὗἀʻ ύἀʜἀʸ ᥎ deliveries Ἥἀʻ ᾽ἀʰᾳ ὀἱἀʻ ᾵ᾱἱitᾳ ὁἀʸἀʸἀʸ ὥᾳᾳᾳᾳ ὀἀʯᾳ ὁἀᾳ Our hope. Ὀἀʰʷ កἉ Ὓἀʷᾳ ὤἴᵃ ᵉᾳ�我有. So, my first advice to you is hope is infinite. Hope has no limits. Of course, the country is going through a little difficult time. And all countries go through difficult time, families go through difficult time, individuals go through difficult time. But you must not get demoralized just because we are going through a difficult time. And you must not have your hope limited because you are all the future of this country, every single one of you. And sometimes, when we are little and we are small, we don't understand our own power, our own importance. We feel that we are very small and we are not powerful. And there are many things happening which are out of our control. Today you see many people have different ideas of India. I want India to be a democratic country. I want India to be a secular country. I want India to be a country that treats its women nicely.  These are all very important things. But India is also inside each one of us. India is not just outside us.  That is outside. And there is another India which is inside us. And this India is about how we behave. Not about how other people behave, but about how we behave. And so if we want to build a strong India and we want to protect what we love about our country, a much better place to start is inside ourselves. So what does it mean to start inside ourselves? It means that we start to look at our behavior. If we want India to be fair to women, we have to treat our sisters fairly. It is no use saying I want India to be fair to women and then I don't treat my sister or my mother fairly. We want India to be democratic. So we should have conversations among our friends. When we are going to take a decision, when we are going to take an important decision, we should talk to our friends and ask them, what do you think? So instead of saying that we believe in a democratic India, we should act democratically. And if enough of us act democratically, if enough of us protect our sisters, mothers, friends, if enough of us love people from all religions, then automatically India will start to behave like that. You have to protect India not just outside yourself. You have to protect India inside yourself. So if you see somebody beating somebody else because he does not agree with his idea, you have to defend that person. If you see your friend being rude to a girl, you have to tell him that this is not correct. So you have to defend the idea of India inside you and around you. That is my main message to you. I wish all of you happy Independence Day and I want you to know that I believe in all of you and I am confident that you will be tremendously successful in your lives and you will do very, very great things. I have one last thing which I want to do before I hand the stage back to my friends. I have brought my mother here also just to say hello to you. So I thought that she should say hello to you also on Independence Day. Hello, children. Happy Independence Day to all of you. Thank you, ma'am. Thank you very much. We love you all very much. As Rahul has just said about India, about wanting a great India, how it has to start from within, from yourself, from your behaviour towards others. And then everything will follow from that. So lots of love and once again happy Independence Day. Bye. And we are all there to support you and help you in your journey. Thank you very much and all the best to everybody. Thank you very much.


So, today we will be talking about the effect of a substrate on the rate of an SN2 reaction. But, before we begin, let's recall the mechanism of an SN2 reaction. In this reaction, let's say X is the leaving group, so the incoming nucleophile Y minus attacks and X minus leaves simultaneously. Oh, it's a single step reaction and since it's a single step reaction, there's no intermediate fault. So how do I check what the rate depends on? Well, the transition state. The state where the incoming nucleophile is attacking and the leaving group is leaving simultaneously. A bond is being made between C and Y while a bond breaks between C and X. So, what are the factors on which the rate would depend? Stability of X minus, the more stable the leaving group, the quicker it would leave and the faster would be the rate. What are the factors? The concentration of the attacking nucleophile and its strength as well as the substrate. Today, we will be focusing on this substrate. So, we will keep all the other factors same for every reaction and we will compare the rates based on different substrates. Let's begin. Let's say we are asked to compare the rates of these two reactions which occur via SN2 mechanism. Wait, before we begin, what is DMSO? DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide. It's a polar aprotic solvent. Okay, let's proceed now. What do I see here? The leaving group in both the cases is the same. Cl minus is going to leave and the attacking nucleophile is CN minus in either case, focusing on the substrate now. In the first case, a 1 degree carbon is attached to the leaving group while in the second case, a 2 degree carbon is attached to the leaving group. Remember, the nucleophile attacks and the leaving group leaves in a single step. So, why am I focusing on this 1 degree and 2 degree thingy? I'm gonna tell you in a bit. These are the two substrates which are written out fully spread out and the nucleophile CN minus has to attack now. It wouldn't want to attack from the same side where Cl is. Why? Because both are electron dense. They'll repel. So, it wouldn't want to take that chance. Where does it find its way now? It cannot come from a direction where this bulky group is because there would be steric hindrance. So, it has to find its way through some other path. What about the second case? Can't attack from the side where the leaving group is and there are two bulky groups. Oh, it's gonna be difficult for the nucleophile to find a way and attack the carbon and make the leaving group leave. So, there is more steric hindrance here. Let's also look at it from a transition state perspective. The nucleophile attacks, the leaving group leaves, the transition state has a lot of negative, negative charge lying around. These three groups, if they're bulky, the transition state will not be stable. They would all be fighting for space and if they are not so bulky, it wouldn't be much of a problem. If I look at this energy diagram, this is my reaction. It's a single step reaction. Here at the peak, there's transition state. Now, I want to increase the rate of the reaction. For that, I need to stabilize this transition state. More the bulky groups attached, more would be the repulsion, lesser would be the stability and more would be the energy. Not happening in our favor. But if the attached groups are less bulky, then the nucleophile will have easier pathway to attack the carbon. The transition state would also be much stable as there would be lesser repulsions happening and therefore the rate would be faster. So the basic idea is to stabilize the transition state so that the reaction occurs quickly. More the bulky groups attached on this carbon that is being attacked, less stable would be the transitions and lesser would be the rate. So when I compare the rates of a 1 degree, 2 degree and 3 degree substrate towards an SN2 reaction, I see the rate of a 1 degree substrate is faster than that of a 2 degree one, which is faster than that of a 3 degree one. This is exactly opposite of what we saw for SN1 reaction. Let's come back to our own question. Shall we? Which would react faster via SN2? The first one, right? Perfect. Let's try another question. We have to compare the reactivities of these two substrates towards SN2 reaction. The leaving group is still the same in each case, right? What about the bond between the carbon and the leaving group? We all know that chlorine has lone pair of electrons, right? The lone pair of electrons alternate to the pi bond. Does it ring a bell? Yes, resonance. There's a possibility of resonance in the first case and what is the result of this resonance? There's a partial double bond character between the carbon and the leaving group that is chlorine. What do I know about single bonds and double bonds? Well, double bonds are stronger than the single bonds for starters. They are more difficult to break. Yeah, the rate would be slower. But before I come to a conclusion, let me just find out if there's a possibility of resonance in the second case also. The lone pair are not alternate to the pi bond. No conjugation here. So the second one would react faster than the first one. But, but, but, would the first one want to react? I don't think so. It's very difficult for this bond to break. It wouldn't break easily. So vinylic halides or vinylic substrates do not undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions via SN2 pathway. Let's take up another problem. We have to compare the reactivities of these three substrates towards an SN2 reaction. Why don't you try this problem yourself before we do it together? Look carefully at the third one. Lone pair on the chlorine atom alternate to the pi bond would be involved in resonance. So there is resonance in the third case. There is a partial double bond character in the carbon-chlorine bond and therefore the third one would be non-reactive towards an SN2 reaction. Perfect. What about the first and the second? In either case, a one-degree carbon is attached to the leaving group. What do I compare now? Well, try drawing the transition state for each case and think which of the two transition states would be most stable. Do it and then we'll do it together. In both the first and the second cases, the carbon to which the leaving group is attached is attached to two hydrogen. What's different is the third thing. In the first case, it's CH2-CH3 while in the second case, it's CH double bond CH2, right? We saw before how the transition state was to electron dense. If I wanted to stabilize the transition state, I would want to stabilize this negative charge, right? That's what this CH double bond CH2 group does in the second case. It's an electron withdrawing group. It has a minus I effect. It is going to stabilize the transition state and the more stable the transition state, the faster would be the reaction. Let's take up one more problem now. So we are asked to compare the reactivities of these three substrates towards an SN2 reaction. Try it yourself and then we'll do it together. Focus on the first one. Here, the chlorine atom is directly attached to the benzene ring. Loan pair on the chlorine atom, alternate to the pi bond present in the benzene ring. You guessed it right. There's resonance. And since there's resonance, there's a partial double bond character in the CCL bond. Would it want to break? Not so much. And therefore, phenyl substrates or phenyl halides, just like the vinylic ones, wouldn't undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction via SN2 mechanism. So one wouldn't react. What about the other two? In both these cases, a one degree carbon is attached to the leaving ring. Right? What else? What do we do now? We draw the transition states. Let's do it. In the first case, there's a benzene ring. While in the second case, there's a cyclohexane ring present. Which of the two would be able to stabilize the transition state? First one because it has an electron withdrawing effect minus IA effect. Since the transition state is most stable, the second substrate would react the first test and the first one wouldn't want to react at all.
