In this week's news, Astra announces a new smallsat competitor and a UK launch pad, Starship 20 has been retired to the Rocket Garden and ISS resupply missions may not be impacted by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This is Tomorrow Space News. Firstly, Ship 16 was moved from the Rocket Garden to High Bay 2, the newer bigger one as it serves no other purpose than a mass simulator for the new crane. After serving that purpose, it was rewarded by being chopped in half. On a serious note though, there isn't anything left for Ship 16 to do and scrapping it makes the most sense. It's sad but you can't keep these outdated ships here forever. Ship 20 has also been moving about being rolled back from the launch site to the production site to replace S16's place at the Rocket Garden. Personally, I really hope that this vehicle ends up in a museum like the way Atlantis is presented at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex as it has been the backbone of Starship testing for nearly a year, the longest of any vehicle. It may not have flown, but without the experience gained testing with S20, the Starship program would not be where it is today. New parts have also been showing up for Ship 26. Here is the aft dome sleeve being flipped over. Booster 7 has been getting frosty again, performing it another cryogenic proof test on the orbital launch mount. Not much is to be noted from the outside as it looked pretty similar to the previous Booster Cryo tests. This test was followed with removal from the launch mount and the placement onto the transport stand. The following day, during the early hours, Booster 7 was rolled down the highway back to the production site with the Texan Sun glinting off the stainless steel. After arriving at the production site, it was rolled into High Bait 2, which means that this building is now actually in service, holding a booster for actual maintenance, not destroying a ship. What is B7 doing in there? Well, it is quite hard to see, but I'd speculate some Raptor engine installations and other upgrades slash repairs. This view will also go soon as the factory is still being constructed around the booster. In the other high bay, Booster 8's stacking has resumed and here you can see the liquid oxygen tank being stuck together. Star Factory is the new factory being constructed down at Starbase by SpaceX and it'll eventually replace the tents which are currently at the production site. It's starting to look less like a massive frame and now more like a building, as siding is now being added to the side of the building. To celebrate two weeks on orbit, Crew 4's mission specialist once, Samantha Cristoforetti, posted several photos of her and her fellow crewmates ride to the ISS onto Twitter, but this one especially stood out to me. It's the second stage of Falcon 9 floating away from Dragon Freedom back towards Earth over Turkey. There are two photos in particular which this image reminds me of. The first one is the iconic shot of the space shuttle external tank floating away from the orbiter after separation and the other is the photo of Command Module Odyssey's service module which, as we all know, was ripped open during the stir of an oxygen tank during Apollo 13. Luckily however, Crew 4 did indeed reach its designed destination. On the 12th of May, Smallsat launch provider Astra held its Space Tech Day event. One of the biggest talking points after the event was what they revealed on their next rocket, which is intuitively being named Rocket 4. The main facts that we're interested in are its payload to orbit stats, which are currently at 300 kilos to low Earth orbit and 200 to a sun-synchronous orbit. Comparing that to their current vehicle, Rocket 3, the increase is dramatic from a listed 25 to 150 kilo mass to SSO on the Wikipedia page. Those were the only numbers I could find and they don't have a citation so do take that The number I was most interested in however was the payload to Leo, 300 kilograms. That so happens to be the exact amount of payload which Rocket Lambs Electron can carry to Leo, one of Astra's direct competitors. The similarities don't end there either. Electron stands at 18 meters tall, has a diameter of 1.2 meters and is fueled by liquid oxygen and kerosene. Rocket 4 stands at 19.4 meters tall, 1.8 meters in diameter and is also fueled by liquid oxygen and kerosene. So I think it's pretty safe to bet your money that this is a direct competitor to Electron. Anyone who tries to deny that is ignoring the obvious. So in those metrics the vehicles are quite similar but there are some areas where the two designs diverge. The first thing to note are the different engine configurations. Electron uses nine of Rocket Lambs Rutherford engines, however Rocket 4 will use just two larger engines currently under development by Astra. What are those engines you ask? Well, we don't know. Very little details were shared and nothing can be found on their website. However reports last year were saying that Astra and Firefly had signed a 30 million US dollar deal for the former to manufacture the Liata's Ruther engines in-house, which have a similar performance to the engines talked about during the event. This engine is also moving from batteries to turbo pumps. One of the biggest selling points Astra likes to emphasize is the company's ability to literally pack all of its stuff into shipping containers and launch from anywhere in the world. That capability has also been showcased with their launch from Cape Canaveral and it's a capability they'll be keeping around for Rocket 4. Personnel are also expected to shrink for the new rocket, moving from an eight-person mission control to a two-person mission control, which Astra CEO Chris Kemp says is based off a commercial airline pilot and co-pilot with the inaugural launch scheduled for this year. Alongside details on Rocket 4, Astra have announced that they will be adding Saksavod spaceport to their roster of available launch facilities. Saksavod is on the island of Ants, the most northern of the Shackland Islands and the most northernly point of the United Kingdom and it's already been officially linked with Skyrora's XL, ABL Space Systems RS-1 and Venture Orbital Systems Zephyr. As you may not be surprised by, I'm very excited seeing another flight-proven rocket be linked to another UK spaceport as rocket launches are something that the British Isles have historically been lacking in. Astra has said that the ability to launch from the UK is mainly down to the fact that their ground service equipment is fully mobile. It can all be shipped with the rocket in only a few shipping containers. This launch provider coming to the UK really does show that the launch opportunities from the northernmost points of the country aren't that bad after all, especially for those dedicated small sat launch providers which is the only market the UK is currently looking to serve. Saksavod is getting Astra, ABL and Skyrora, Sutherland is getting Orbex and spaceport Cornwall is getting Virgin Orbit. The race really is now on for the first orbital launch originating in the United Kingdom and at the moment Virgin Orbit are definitely the favorites, however an unexpected delay could change that. The fact that their rockets are air launched will also most certainly give the first ground launch rocket the bragging rights for being the first vertical launch, the more conventional launching style. I'll also just mention that from what I understand this will be just for rocket 3 launches at the moment. Rocket 4 is the next step up for Astra and as a new vehicle it will need to go through a lot of testing first. I'd guess that rocket 4 won't be leaving the United States for a while. Northrop Grumran resupplies the ISS with their Cygnus spacecraft which is launched on their Antares 230 plus rocket but soon issues are going to crop up with supplying components for the rocket due to their manufacturing origins and locations. The engines on the first stage are RD 181s from Russia and the first stage is assembled in Ukraine, two countries which currently are embroiled in the big international conflict we've all been watching on with horror. Northrop Grumran has stated that they have enough components to launch two more Antares rockets but after that they're out of components. The CEO and President of Northrop Grumran, Kathy Warden, has said that they have a plan in place if they can't make any more Antares vehicles once their current supply is up but they didn't elaborate any more on that so they have a plan which is great but what is that plan? Well that's still speculation. Will it launch on Vulcan? Will it launch on Falcon? Will it be flown into space with spin launch? Only time will tell but it probably won't be the latter. Something I just wanted to add in before we head into this week's launches, whilst looking for an image to use in the Astra segment, I stumbled across this footage which Rocket Lab released of the helicopter catch during the there and back again mission. This view from inside the interstage is so cool, I think we'd all love this to be included on the broadcast so Rocket Lab, if you can do that, the entire spaceflight community would be greatly appreciative. Anyways, side tracking is for the live show, let's get into traffic. Firstly, it's an arrival to China's Tiangong space station as the Tiangong-4 cargo resupply mission docked to the Tian'e aft port at 0054 Coordinated Universal Time on the 10th of May. This spacecraft is planned to stay at the station for a few months before the orbiting in 2023. If you're not that familiar with China's space program, there are currently no Tyconauts on Tiangong so Tiangong-4 will be patiently waiting for the next crew to arrive, which will be Shenzhou-14 in approximately a month or so. We've had the first launch failure for a little while with Icebase's Hyperbola-1 failing to reach orbit after launching at 0730 UTC on May 13th from Site-95 at the Zhiyunquan Satellite Launch Center in China with Zhiyun-1 Mofang-01AR on board. This is the fourth launch attempt of the Hyperbola-1, with the three previous attempts all resulting in a failure and loss of payload. The exact time and cause of the latest failure has not been confirmed by the launch provider, however the fact that the mission did fail to reach orbit has been confirmed. The next launch was the start of the Starlink speedrun, the first of two Starlink missions within just two days. Firstly, it was crewed for mission 13 for the Space Launch Complex 4 East at Weidenberg Space Force Base in California, heading to a 53.22 degree inclination orbit with an apogee of 350km and a perigee of 305km. This launched at 2207 UTC on May 13th and about eight minutes later was another textbook recovery with Booster B1063 landing for its fifth time, in this case being on Of Course I Still Love You. This booster previously supported Sensible 6, Dart, Starlink 411 and Starlink Version 1 Mission 28. As well as the booster, the fairings were recovered by NRCQuest. The day after that flight was Starlink Group 4 Mission 15, launching from the other coast more specifically Skick 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. If the booster looks rather clean, that's because this was the first flight of B1073, adding another Falcon 9 to the fleet, taking the current total of operational Block 5 boosters to 12. This also made history by becoming the first new booster to carry a Starlink mission ever, which is probably the most exciting thing about this routine flight. The only difference between Mission 15 and Mission 13 is the fact that the initial apogee of the satellite is 318km instead of 315km. B1073 landed on Just Read The Instructions and the fairings were picked up by support ship Bob. Because of the delay with the production of this week's episode, it means that we have a third Starlink flight to cover in a row. Gifting off from LC-39A at the Kennedy Space Centre at 1020 UTC on the 18th of May, this mission, Group 418, was the exact same as 415, except the perigee of the initial orbit is 1km lower and the booster used was B1052, which successfully touched down on the shortfall of Gravitas. This also marks the first time that I've covered three Starlink flights in a row on the news, as well as the first time that I've covered flights from all three Falcon 9 pads in one episode in a row, which is kind of crazy. And why don't we wrap it up with Soyuz? Lifting off from Site-43-4 at the Plesets Cosmodrome in Russia at 0803 UTC on May 19th, this Soyuz 2.1A rocket carried the military surveillance satellite BAS-M No. 3 to a Sun Synchronous Orbit. As this is a military mission, that's all we know. This week's departures are, you guessed it, another Falcon flight from SpaceX, as well as Boeing's second orbital test of Starliner, which should be coming right after this episode's release, with a Chinese flight sprinkled in there as well.

Okay in this video we're going to talk about could NIO stock explode after NIO day or during NIO day Potentially or the run-up to NIO day. We're going to look into this information If you could also explode the like button, that'll be fantastic as well With the fact that I'm a new channel trying to grow the channel and I appreciate all the support with people always You know like in the videos and subscribing we've actually gained a lot of subscribers in the past two to three weeks Something like 700 800 subscribers something ridiculous, which is fantastic. So thank you for all the support But let's get right into the information just to respect your time because that's why you've clicked on this video is to look at NIO so could NIO stock explode after NIO day That's what we're looking to and the research behind this. So first of all I want to point to Yahoo article here So the NIO day event in the past has served as a platform for new products and service launches and catalyzed And been a catalyst for strong stock moves So what we're hoping to see on NIO day is ultimately some stock some product launches some some impressive Innovation on NIO day that they're going to announce that's going to move the stock further Something that's going to have themselves as a competitive advantage over the competition in the electric vehicle market That's what we're looking for there And that's what that's what's going to have an impact on the share price on NIO day if they do that It's really you know, it's displaying any new products that they have It's a currently a year event and here and I think it's in January and NIO is on track to announce a few launches at the event including its first sedan Okay, so that again opens up to potential further market segments This would be the company's fourth mass produced model with speculation suggesting it will be likely a coupled design A coop design like the Audi a7 is also believed that the company could start mass Manufacturing that model by the fourth quarter of 2021 So essentially there's going to need to be a research and development Manufacturing of this vehicle Ready for mass market by the fourth quarter of 2021 meaning, you know, maybe you'll get pre-orders for it For the vehicle, but they won't see the full extent to that revenue until the fourth quarter of 2021 It was also expected to announce 150 kilowatt battery pack that will likely increase the range of its EVs So her over 900 KMS the new pack is expected to be compatible with the existing Sorry existing near models. So it's essentially that you know, this battery pack If they're able to produce a more powerful battery pack again, that adds competitive advantages a company That makes them stand out in the EV market And these are little things that if they announced them on near-day Upgrades to battery packs upgrades to their services any new vehicles these areas are going to have a big impact on the stock price I think really what's going under notice is actually the impact on potentially talking about the battery packs and the service and the upgrades The service on the stock price because they have the vehicle They have a lot of good vehicles the a lot of the vehicles look actually really nice And they've got that side and what I would think a lot of investors are maybe thinking about and I'm certainly thinking about anyways Is what else can we talk about within the package of the EV vehicle? You know, what is that? You know, can we have more information on near-day about the after-sales service the batteries these areas that surround the EV vehicle itself? I think if they can add that added value there that will have an impact on the share price if they announced stuff like that on near-day Okay, so so we've got that information And also it's set to achieve this was in 2nd of December though, but it was just notable I just thought it's quite notable so achieve another record high double year over year for eight consecutive months So that so that increasing their sales figures Okay, which is really important But we have to also understand that the EV market is yet to meet its full potential You know, there's only set an amount of people that have EV cars or are looking for electric vehicle cars And I think that market is going to grow and as it grows then the sales in Neo are going to grow So it's impressive that they are doing this year-on-year growth But I think that's a you know a small Portion of what's going to be available in the coming years as the market grows as well Okay So what could what could increase it very quickly and this is really important I wanted to just show a bit of information and then a bit of analysis So what could increase it? So as I said the release of new products You know if they can release products and we're talking products that stand out from the crowd so to speak You know they stand out. That's what we want to see being released Here so stuff that's going to differentiate them stuff that's going to make them competitive That that is going to have an impact So the release of the release of new products I would say also shouting about their sales figures on the other day in terms of pre-orders sales Projected sales anything like that. I would really think that if they really focus on that as well It's important Because it vest in as investors we like to look at the revenue of its current revenue But also potential projected revenue So just having some clear focus on that on the near day could have an impact on the share price and also the investor sentiment So as we get closer to near day, we might see a run-up of the stock price closer to near day as it is expected for them to release new products and new information and Then that after on near day and after near day after they release those information It might run up even further dependent upon the announcements that are made So I think there's got a lot of potential to have some run-up beforehand and after And also just another quick article here, so Set to announce the that there in terms of the vehicle we went through that so investor expectations in the run-up to the event Could lift in your shares which have a range bound below all-time highs First up is the company's deliveries update And you're having deliveries of 10,346 vehicles for the first two months of the fourth quarter The company would need to deliver 6,000 in December. So it says he's talking it This is a older article, but it's talking about the fact that they have those deliveries there They have ambitious sales targets, which they tend to reach Okay, and and that's only going to increase there and what is the share price at the minute? So We'll look at that in a moment because I want to go through one last thing And that is some interesting information and developments with apple. Okay apples potentially Looking at starting their own ev vehicle and entering the ev sector with their apple car Now for them to do that effectively, they don't have the research and development of the You know ev industry it takes a lot of research and development and manufacturing To build up to the level of commercialization or sell it actually sell in a vehicle because they have to research and development Certain technologies. They have to manufacture the car. They have to look at the components all these things, right? So apple are going to need or are looking they're actively looking to partner with A potential company so that they can speed, you know, up their processes Now it could partner with tesla vaults wagon or neo as this article states So it could be a potential factor that neo Partners with apple now that's not for certain that speculation But if it does that is another major catalyst that could have a massive impact on the stock price shooting up even further So that's something to consider and if you've got to think tesla would tesla work with apple on this um, I don't know So if anybody's got any ideas on what who apple could work with Let me know but neo is certainly in one of those choices there and um, I imagine them to be close to the top of the list there Something to consider Okay So the last thing I want to mention is the price At the minute, so it's at 44 71 It has actually dipped from the 23rd of december from its highs of 50 down to 44 So I think it's getting towards a price that it's worth buying into actually Think if you can get this stock at anywhere around 40 to 44, this is a buy zone for me Uh, I think it's a perfect buy zone for for this stock Okay, so and I think that this could run up so on the on the on the days before neo day I think that it could run up to towards 50 again and then the days after neo day it could be, you know, maintaining its 50 55 levels So I think that this got it's got a potential to run up based upon the investor sentiment based upon the announcements that inevitably are going to be made Um, but you know, sometimes it's already factored in so the cost of is already going to be factored in very soon in terms of neo day So, uh, you I would look at getting in this and then seeing how it does with the announcements that come out on neo day And uh, and see how it goes. Thanks for watching this video If you could smash that like button to help out this small youtube channel. It really does help me out So thank you for everybody that does that much appreciated and uh, subscribe to the channel and I'll create more stock market content In the future. Thanks for watching


Okay, so let's go ahead and try this one number, the third one on the quiz. It says a helium nucleus has two protons and two neutrons. How many electrons would it take to equal the mass of a helium nucleus? And it gives you the mass of a proton, a neutron, and an electron. So some of us did this some weird way, trying to go periodic table, looking at the mass of helium and all that. That's not one of the way to, and then converting grams to AMU, and don't do it that way, okay? They give you this information and they tell you the helium nucleus has two neutrons and two protons, okay? So how do I do that? Well, the mass of the helium nucleus is going to be two times this number, because that's one proton. So 1.67262 times 10 to the negative 27 kilograms. And then add that to two times the mass of a neutron, right? And you have two protons and two neutrons. So 1.67493 times 10 to the negative 27 kilograms. And the first thing we want to do is figure out the mass of that nucleus, okay? And so let's do that together. Plug in your calculator. And I get a number, 3, 4, 5, 6. Everybody okay with what I've done? Times 10 to the negative 27 kilograms. Okay, so that's the mass of a helium nucleus. Okay, with what I've just done? Okay, cool. So a lot of people got to that part, but it's this next step that was a part, okay? Because it's asking us how many electrons equals that mass. Well, we have a conversion factor. We got to always remember when something equals something else, that's a conversion factor. Okay, so what are we really trying to do now? We're trying to find the number of electrons in this mass, okay? So what we're just going to want to do is write down that number again. 6.69510 times 10 to the negative 27 kilograms. And then we know one electron equals that many kilograms. So we just take that. But kilograms at the bottom, 0.0091 times 10 to the negative 27 kilograms. And the number of electrons that that mass equals is how many? One electron, right? Is everybody with me? Ain't nobody going to say anything. Just going to chuck. Okay, so when we see that, we can now cancel out our kilograms. Is everybody okay with that? So now, Harlan, remember, I talked to you about this the other day. When we're counting things, if I'm counting the number of students in my classroom, right? And I say, well, I have 15.67 students. Does that make any sense? What about 15.53 or 12.41, okay? Electrons are little discrete entities, okay? So when you count the number, it's got to be a whole number, okay? So yes, I agree that we're going to get some number with some decimal points. We've got to round that to the whole number, okay? So we take that, divide this, this number that we got by this number, 0, 0, 0, 9, 1, negative 27. And what do I get? Hopefully the same thing as you. What did we get, guys? 7,500. Yep, 7,357 point whatever, right? In my case, 25. Okay, there's no such thing as a quarter of an electron. But we also want to remember our units, so electrons, okay? Or if you want to put... So again, I think when we start off the class, we're learning conversion factors, you know? So this problem is helping us to identify that anything that we see that's an equivalency can be used as conversion factors, okay? So just take that to heart when you're doing this, because I know oftentimes when there's all these weird numbers to the negative 27, 0, 0, and all that craziness, it kind of throws you off from the main point of the problem which is just using your conversion factor, okay? Any questions on this one? Wonderful.


United Nations and the norm of R2P. You probably haven't heard of R2P, but Rupamati Khandkar has heard about it. As a matter of fact, she wrote a book about it. And that book is in the United Nations Library and it's in the Parliament Library in India. So it's gaining some traction. And we're going to show you the book cover right now. There it is, the norm of R2P by Dr. Rupamati Khandkar. And let me welcome you to the show, Rupamati. Hi, thank you for joining us. Aloha, Jay. And it's just amazing, simply amazing interacting with you on every occasion that I get. So it's precious to me. And thank you so much for having me on your show. Thank you, Rupamati. It's great to talk to you. It's great to talk to somebody in your situation, your position. You keep on writing these books. You can't stop. You must continue to write these books, okay? So I want to know about this book. This book is kind of close to our hearts in the sense that the R2P stands for protecting countries from genocide and atrocities and outrage and what have you. So can you tell us what R2P is? And can you tell us, you know, what the book does? Yeah. So this book got me excited like a kid because it went into the Indian, it got selected into the Indian Parliament. And so just let me give you a gist of what the book is about. It's about the responsibility to protect of the United Nations. Now this is a principle that authorizes the United Nations to protect civilians in the realm of only four areas. It's very categorically stated that it's going to be ethnic cleansing, war crime, crimes against humanity and what is that? Genocide. So these four areas only. And Jay, this principle rests on three equivalent meaning these, this principle gives equal importance to three tenets. That is that the state first primarily is responsible for protecting its citizens. Second, the international community assists every state to protect its civilians in these areas. And third pillar is that if the state does not protect its civilians and manifestly harms its citizens, the international community will come together through the United Nations to protect the civilians of that state. Now see Jay, it's a very complicated principle because you overwrite sovereignty. The basic rule of sovereignty is you respect a nation's borders. So in this principle, the international community as a whole is going to trespass into the borders of a country and protect civilians on the basis of humanity against poor crimes. Now Jay, this was a principle which was founded in 2005 and it came into force in Libya. So when you have the international community authorizing military actions, now this principle was supposed to be a last resort to use military principle means you have to go diplomatically, you have to go and have a lot of interactions and military use is the last resort. But we have in Libya that military was used but only in Libya and then after that Syria when you have the same things. Now most recently when we are seeing in Ukraine and we just have had the General Assembly. So why aren't we having this principle used again? So there's a big question mark that comes into the task of the UN. Why aren't they doing this concrete action when it is needed the most today? But now we connect back to the whole issue of the reform of the United Nations that because the veto power rests with Russia also and China also, they will not authorize this military action. So the United Nations falls short to implement military action in Ukraine because Russia is a prominent member. So this is like a catch 22 situation where we are stuck and the United Nations cannot do anything effectively.  So what do we do now? What is the resort that we adhere to? If we have NATO action there will be retaliatory Warsaw action. So we don't want that clash to happen and we have, can we call it a tyrant state? It's threatening a nuclear war directly saying that I will go for a third world war, if third nuclear war, if I'm threatened. So if he goes down, he takes everybody down with him. So we are in such a bad situation right now and see America is across the Pacific, Atlantic. So we have to understand that this is happening in Europe and Germany coming in directly, you have the oil and gas situation going on. So see when Ukraine was allowed to export wheat and keep the bread baskets of the world fulfilled, it was kind of a calm that came in and everybody thought that now we are having our bread and Ukraine is getting their money so everything will be fine. But this can't go on forever. You can't keep them in that situation for, you need to rescue them. Ukraine needs to be rescued and it needs to be rescued fast.  You are threatening military action against Russia by Ukraine but you're expecting oil and gas from Russia. So if he threatens to stop the supply, Russia is not going to be able to go for it, isn't it? So it's a difficult situation. It's a very difficult situation. Difficult and well but I mean of course the principle is exactly correct. Exactly correct. 2005 is almost 20 years ago. So unfortunately, you know, aside from Libya it hasn't been implemented and that's really tragic and it reveals the systemic flaw, the profound flaw in the United Nations in the charter from day one. You know, it's like a great idea but impossible to implement. It's sort of like the American Constitution, great idea but you know it had slavery baked in so that wasn't so good and it leaves us a legacy of trouble. And the same thing here, we have a legacy of trouble with the United Nations. So I guess the question is you mentioned reform. How at least theoretically, you know, procedurally, how could the United Nations be reformed so it could implement this very important principle? See theoretically Jay, the world order has changed since 1945 and changed so drastically. So you have the power of the United Nations resting in five people with one veto being able to thwart four people's will power. So if you have an expansion of the veto power, expansion of the veto power means more people have the veto power and a majority wins rather than one veto being allowed to stop the decision. You can have three versus two. You can have US, Germany and France being able to continue ahead, you know. So these things are so important if you want action in the world today. Otherwise we are just going to be spectators. That's a thing that we are watching from the past seven and a half months. We are watching Ukraine being bombed. Can anybody do anything about it? You have so many meetings, so many intergovernmental meetings, so many international organizations meeting every day. You have bilateral multilaterals who is effectively helping people. Business trading, trading is going on. The replacement of the dollar with the rubble is on. The US has risen to a different level. So all these things have to be taken into account that economically it's going to hurt across the oceans. It's not going to have a conservative effect. It's going to come as a multiplier effect. And strategically how much ever you think and how much ever you want to control your action, retaliatory action, it has to be effective action. Unless this is stopped, it's going to have repercussions on the economy, which is going to affect millions and millions of people all over the world. Recession is not an easy thing. Maybe it will be easy for the middle class to absorb, but the lower classes will be pushed into homelessness without food. So this has to be stopped somewhere. If I go to the United Nations General Assembly, which is the larger group, and you see them, you talk to them, you know what they're like. My guess is that if you pose the resolution or a motion to change the Security Council to add members, to make the veto a voted veto instead of a unilateral veto, you would not be able to get a majority or necessary vote to make that change. Am I right? That resolution will be vetoed. So it's as simple as that. Any resolution to bring in more power at the Security Council is vetoed. And it has been done several times. So they don't want to share power. Who will want to share power? The king will never want to share his throne. So it's kind of like that way. It comes to very selfish needs at the United Nations. And strategically, they get countries who please them for using the veto power. So you could not change this at the General Assembly? No. No. It was just not permitted by the charter. Yes. And the charter is protected by the veto. So it's like a circle which we cannot break. And it's a vicious cycle which we cannot break. And we are stuck in it. I mean reform studies and reform demands. We have the Brazil club, the coffee club, the African club all asking for one seat. The African continent is asking for a single seat in the Security Council. Now that's permissible, but they're not being given. So where do you take us on that? Because it sounds like you can't get there from here. That is, you cannot reform the Security Council. Therefore, you cannot reform the veto. Therefore, Russia and for that matter, Russia and China. And if India gets behind it, Russia, I don't know, is India on the Security Council? No. Okay. No. Russia and China, either one of them could stop any kind of R2P action anytime. And R2P is a core point for the United Nations. I think you make that clear. So we're stuck here. We're locked. And the United Nations is unable to fulfill what I would consider its most important principle. So where do you take us on that? Do we have to create another United Nations? We have 10 members on the Security Council and India is part of the rotating members. Five membership is rotated amongst the 295 other members on a two-year basis. But these five members are formality safe. They don't have veto powers. Only the permanent five, the big five, they have the permanent power, the veto power.  Now, what happens today? So many countries who have strategic interests, they please the veto-holding powers to act on their behalf. So you have Pakistan asking the US to intervene when we have a Kashmir resolution or India asking Russia to help them when we have something against us. Or Japan, you have the Southeast Asian countries asking China to help them if a resolution goes against them. And you have the African countries, but China helps and then takes the land. It's a very intertwined economic political web which these countries are indulging in. So it's difficult to break them and for them to give up veto power, all five of them will have to say yes, we allow other people to have this veto power, but that will never happen. Never is a big word. And so, I mean, I assume that you are directing this book at what is going on with Russia and Ukraine. It's the most obnoxious thing that's happened in world history in a while. And where can you take that? You examine the problems in the United Nations, in the Security Council, and we conclude with never. So offer me some optimism, Rupamati. Offer me a solution. What is the solution?  JC, the responsibility to protect spoke about the foremost, genius crimes, crime against humanity, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, all this is happening.  You are seeing tremendous war crimes and you have a world leader directly threatening the whole world. If you come into this, I'll go with World War III. So and you don't have the other side relenting. They also are very sternly saying, yes, they went and blew up the Kremia Bridge. So he is one of his favorite bridges. So it's like poking him when he is most angry. They should blow it up again. That's my opinion.  But you know, the thing is, what's your message? You examine these things, we find out that we're in a situation which is not likely to change. But you have the war crimes and the genocide on the one hand, you have the outrageous, you know, violation of any kind of norm there. And the United Nations is essentially powerless. Okay, so we know that. But are you are you criticizing them? Are you saying, wait a minute, boys, you've got to think of something. You can't just stand by while this happens. We do have a principle here. I mean, are you saying you guys have got to find a way? Is that what you're saying? Yes, yes, for sure. For sure, Jay. See, power has made them, you know, this Frederick Neish's three stage of the camel, the lion and the child.  And that is in terms of life itself, when you see mass graves, it is not commendable to speak about principles, then you want action. And you say that, please stop this on any count, you know, just don't make speeches, take action, all the countries together coming and telling Russia, stop. No, it's not happening. See, there is a brilliant trade going on everywhere. Germany on one hand promises air defense facilities to Ukraine. On the other hand, buys Russian gas. So you have something like a balance that they're doing, you can't balance it out. You can't balance genius crimes out. You have to change your dependence and then unilaterally oppose Putin's aggression on Ukraine. You can't have a two pronged strategy on this. Everybody has to come together to support Biden. Biden has to be a strong leader. He is not a certainty. He has to come out a very, what is that? He has to have heaviness in his character when he comes on the international stage. It can't be those fleeting sentences which he gives, you know, he has to strongly say, let's unite and this will not go on further. You know, United Nations is the hegemon of the world order. You can't deny that. You have to act like you're the hegemon of the world order, the keeper of the world order. So United Nations bring it to another just intergovernmental organization and take charge as the hegemon of the world order and keep it in order. That is the role that the United Nations has, the United States has to play in this. It can't be. Do you think that Biden, if he were a stronger leader, would be able to change what's happening at the United Nations? For sure, for sure. Because see the sanctions which he was giving, they were half had sanctions. See for bread, for wheat to be exported out of Ukraine, how many meetings took place? How many facilities were made just that wheat gets supplied through a green corridor of the United Nations to countries? So that is just like just picking out wheat and letting them die. You can't do that. Russia will sell wheat through Kazakhstan, through the Central Asian provinces, but they will keep their trade going when they are selling in ruble. There has to be such a strong action that you cannot trade in ruble because trading in ruble is affecting the dollar. Dollar is affecting the US economy. Recession in the US markets go up. It affects the global markets.  So the moment the US puts a stop to this and decides to face Russia head on, it's going to be more common. This will continue for years and years. It's like up and down. It will just keep on on on. The virus will still exist somewhere. Putin must be having so many other generals who are as eccentric as him and we can't expect Gorbachev entry to calm things down. That would be absolutely miraculous if it happens. But we have to, it's war. It's war. It's asymmetric war and he's going to play that. He is playing that. He's good at it. And so are you saying that if Biden was stronger and if Biden took greater sanctions, got Europe to take greater sanctions, he could also, he could be more forceful in the United Nations. He could cause the United Nations to take action, but that has to override the veto problem. So I could, let me ask you, could if the General Assembly wanted to take greater sanctions, could they override the veto problem in the Security Council or are they stuck? They can't do it. That is the exact problem in the United Nations that the veto power is not at all restricted by any other. It is prime and that is what makes the United Nations very facile in its action. If even one country or its allies don't want that action to be implemented, it doesn't get implemented in the United Nations. It again goes back to the drawing board and again there are letters written and let's do this. Let's do this. It reaches the Security Council vetoed again comes up. So that's what I'm telling you. America has to understand that it's the hegemon or the topmost power in this world order, take charge and go for action rather than stay back, pass fleeting remarks and then wait for something to happen because see Putin is very clear about what he wants. If he goes down, he takes everybody down with him. If he doesn't go down, this situation continues for a long, long time. So Ukraine is not going to be, see if he wanted to really, really bomb Ukraine, he could have done carpet bombing and finished off Ukraine in a matter of a few days. If you see the map, Russia is humongous and Ukraine is just a fetal in front of Russia. So if he wanted to really finish, he would have no, this is helping him. This prolonged battle is helping him win the war and we waiting and not doing anything except for causing more recession, more countries to what do you say mingle in between and hurt themselves rather than, you know, take sides. How many people have come in front and said we side Ukraine or we side Russia? Nobody. India will abstain from Russia, from supporting Russia. But can it go against Russia? No, it's a strategic partner. China will never support Ukraine because Russia is a strategic partner. In the same way, US has to come and say, no, we will support Ukraine wholeheartedly. We are coming in, NATO is coming in. Why is NATO taking so long to come? It's going to be a prolonged battle if there is no immediate action. Yeah. Okay. I got a couple of questions about that, though. I think what I hear you saying as far as the United Nations is concerned, the United Nations has a fatal flaw here. It cannot act. And so what the world requires to solve this problem is for the US, Biden step up and supplant the United Nations, do what the United Nations should have been doing. Okay. And the United Nations has marginalized itself. And the only solution is that somebody steps up and acts like the United Nations. And that means being a strong charismatic leader. It means bringing as many countries as possible together and acting as a kind of alternative United Nations. And then taking aggressive action and not worrying about Putin's threats, which I personally, about nuclear war, just doing it. Yes. But they're not doing it. He's not doing it. So what you have is a growing sense of fragmentation, a growing sense of confusion, a growing lack of resolve. And you're saying also that time works against a solution. Yes. This has to be right now. It has to be definitive. And it has to be Biden because there's nobody else. This is a problem.  Nationalistic isolationist, you know, we're not closer to a solution, but way further away to a solution. And we effectively perpetuate Russia's power on this. That's what I get out of it. So where's the happiness here? Within ourselves. The jail, like I'm telling you, see, Libya, Libya, Gaddafi decided to replace the dollar with the African currency. Everybody came on to him and the R2P was to decide to be a regime changing a principle which changed the regime. Russia and the U.S. were on the same page, but now when Russia decides to change to rubble, Russia and U.S. are close to each other.  They're not going to bother about Ukraine. And I'm telling you why Ukraine is important for the United States is because of the recession. More economic effects. CJ anywhere in the world has a war. It benefits the United States and Russia directly. Direct monetary benefits to both these countries, correct? But the pinch that we are feeling in the United States is the recession and this Ukraine war is that exact trigger. And that's why we have to fight it. No, we have to stop it.  Well, let me ask you this. Let me take the other side of it for a moment. Suppose there is a Republican president and suppose he doesn't care about Ukraine. We already see that the GOP doesn't really care about Ukraine's isolationist, nationalistic and so forth. Republican president, which I don't care. Putin can do what he wants to do. He can have what he wants to have when we can ignore the United Nations because it's not necessary. And it's not necessary for the United States to do anything about it. In that case, in that scenario, what happens to the dollar versus the ruble? What happens to the world order? That is the world order without genocide, the world order without war. What happens if the United States disappears from the whole issue? It should not disappear from the issue because what happens if it does? If it does, the expansionist policy of Russia sustains itself and it doesn't stop just on Ukraine. It will continue to Norway. It will continue to Finland. It will continue to other areas of bordering Russia. The referendums will be held, flags will be hoisted and that will be Russian territory right on the doorsteps of Western Europe will kind of disappear and we will have another Third World War, any which ways raging in Europe. So Europe is at world's end. You've seen Pirates of the Caribbean. It's that it's at the world's end right now. Russia is at its doorstep and Russia, the mentality of Russia is not going to stop because see this small spark which allowed the ruble to become strong. It gave Russia a lot of monetary budget and when you have countries which are willing to trade oil and gas in ruble, it made Russia realize the power of its own oil and its produce.  They can sustain themselves very well. So they are not going to bother about anything else. I told you if Russia wanted to finish the war with Ukraine, they could have carpet bombed it and finished it in a couple of months, but they are purposely it's a tactical war to prolong the war so that the enemy stagnates and finishes off, withers off. Once they wither off, the ones that become weak, Russia can sustain itself. Ukraine can't. So that is the kind of policy that he is playing and when US support is withdrawn, Europe becomes weaker. You see, Europe depends a lot on the United States. The entire world depends on the United States if it has to be against Russia. If the United States decides to stay neutral, we have, what is that? There's no control on this fascist chaos. And so we have expansionist policies going over the head. So he will be uncontrolled. So this is pretty scary. Is this the message that you want people to take from your book about R2P? What message would you like to leave them with? The responsibility to protect is where the international community came together as a whole to protect civilians against its own government. But we have a government which has come from outside. So there is invasion going on in the modern world. So I think it is time for a modified version of the R2P and the international community to come together as a whole and stop the expansionist war. There's actual war going on without any, there's no, you can't rein in. He is deciding one thing after another every day. When you see him parading a nuclear submarine on the roads, it is scary. You saw the whale. It's dubbed as the whale on the streets of Kremlin, a 300 ton nuclear submarine being paraded on the streets. You understand the torpedo that this man can bring in if he intends or if he sets his mind to it. So we have to understand we don't face a tyrant with no power.  So it's not an easy task to really mean. We have to understand that international community needs to act together and the United Nations fails as an organization. If we have finished the General Assembly of two weeks and not done anything concrete, has there been a diplomatic mission, leave alone military action? Has there been a diplomatic mission of all the countries going to Russia and talking to Mr Putin? There has been no, there has not been. So even when there's no diplomatic resolution or even attempt to diplomatically resolve this, what can you do? You can't heckle Russian members when they come in the General Assembly with booze and say that they will solve the problem. There's been no diplomatic mission gone to the Russian embassy or even to Russia. We have to get your book at. We should send your book to Vladimir Putin. Okay, all right. We should send your book to Joe Biden. We should send your book to Mr Modi in India for supporting Russia. We should send your book to Xi Jinping. Your book has to get out so that people can see where we are. And I gather in an inflection point, which is in effect a scenario for World War III. And that's really what it's about. Either you have R2P or you have a state of constant and increasing war. One or the other. Yes. Well, it's been nice knowing you, Rupamati. We'll always say that even there's never going to be a disconnect. Definitely. I agree. Dr. Rupamati Khandikar, helping us understand the geopolitical maneuvers and the role of the United Nations and what the role of the United States must be in order to step in and take some action. Action is the operative word. Thank you so much, Rupamati. It's always great to talk to you. Thank you so much. Always a pleasure. Thank you so much for watching Think Tech Hawaii.

This is TFNN, The Tiger, Financial News Network Update. Good morning everyone, Basel Chapman here on this Tuesday, the 2nd of May, 10 o'clock Tiger Financial News Network Market Update, dials down 155 at $32,896, remember we were talking about this, going into this trap, we've inside tracked repellent zone, Lake E but the technicals were not that good except that the nine-period moving average was still very strong. So we're looking at this and saying we need a couple of days to see whether or not that weakness will continue that we've seen right now because the S&P also right now is down 17 points at $41.49. Remember in the Chapman methodology I'll be talking about this in great detail in my webinar tomorrow at 4 o'clock eastern time for subscribers you can sign up go to the front page of TFNN. What we're looking at is in the Chapman methodology there's never an H, you can go A, B, speak, A, B, C, D, E, F, G but when you get to a peak above that you've got to consider this is recycled to the upside. It's a moment where you're going to make a decision. My decision was that there is some weakness here and on the very short term we should see a pullback from this doji candle in the S&P right at the inside track repellent zone the QQQ same thing the QQQ's are down just a little bit down 63 cents at $321.50 slightly different picture here this could be considered a leg E we can be watching closely both S&P and the the Q's have got a doji candle IWM has been very weak, weak again today but the gold this is going to be what we are watching closely gold is up 11 the dollar trying to rally pull back a little bit and now has gone even higher to up 20 ticks at 102.32 the 102.78 would be the oh sorry 102.47 would be the next resistance and this rally in the dollar might affect the market crude all is down sharply down 2.50 at 17.13 TLT that's the bonds bonds are up again up a dollar 63 at one of 4.75 at a very sharp pullback yesterday just stuck in the range I've been talking about that for a long time I'll talk more about it when we get back to the Tiger technicians hour coming up and don't forget my opening cold day newsletter see you in a few moments for the Tiger technicians hour

This is covering the spread part of the Fandall podcast network We are at a pretty critical juncture for this 2023 NFL season not just because we saw a couple of big teams fall in week number six But also because we got some pretty high-profile matchups coming up in week number seven the Baltimore Ravens taking on the Detroit Lions We have got the Eagles taking on the Dolphins and this is gonna show the strength of some teams We've had our eyes on throughout this year We're gonna break down the future market right now talk about those 49ers and Eagles lost with Ryan Williams Get his read on those and I'll take a look ahead to week number seven based on what my models are saying This is covering the spread right here on the Fandall podcast network and on Fandall research My name is Jim Sannis. I am a managing editor of digital media for Fandall research join here to kick things off By Ryan Williams check them out on Twitter at Ryan Alexander underscore W Ryan. We are on to week number seven How you do it today? Oh, we're doing great Jim side of There But yeah, I mean I'm we're on the week seven. We're on the week seven We're almost at the midpoint of the season if you can believe it And you know, we're just grinding we're just grinding out. We're just grinding it out as as they come to us Jim we're just taking them one step at a time So we're sticking with props and the traditional markets where I always tell you You know, they're set that way for a reason Well, we'll try and we'll try and get some futures action for the people and and get back on track Yeah, I'm someone who buys into analytics So like I'm not gonna rail on Brandon Staley, but I think that I it's nice to have the excuse of like, oh Brandon Staley should have kicked the field goal. That's why I lost my bet. It's not because of me Ryan It's not because I made a mistake. It's because he made a mistake and like, you know What he was when he decided to go for it. I was like, yeah, I like this decision, you know, holding a charger's money line ticket Okay, it's a good choice and then but I do kind of want to have the excuse like I need the out again It's not my fault. It's his fault that I lost the bet. Absolutely. Absolutely. This is the best place to point fingers. So We'll do just that it is my fault for believing in Brandon Staley I will say that that is definitely on me But either way, we're gonna lick our wounds and head into week number seven You're breaking down the futures mark of the Rhine then I'll take a look ahead and give a look into what my number is saying But week seven luckily no chargers on the bet slip for me for it this week before we dive into that quick reminder to make Sure, you're subscribed to covering the spread wherever you get your podcast If you like what you hear leave us a five-star rating on Apple podcasts and over on Spotify as well We appreciate those of you who have done so already all these shows do go up on the fan dual YouTube page and fangirl TV plus to get fangirl TV plus go to fangirl comm slash watch and log in with your fangirl account Or download fangirl TV plus on Amazon fire Apple TV or Roku devices Let's begin things Ryan by talking about the losses for the 49ers and the Eagles 49ers falling to the Browns Eagles to the Jets first loss of the year for both those teams any cause for concern for you on those teams or What's just kind of an off week where they're both facing pretty tough defenses Yeah, where do I want to start? Let's start with the Eagles And you know we that the Jets is a tough defense and so, you know I think what's what's what's more concerning is just what we're seeing on the Philadelphia side of the Offensive side of the ball where Jalen Hertz has not been able to get going I mean, I'm looking at the list here of just quarterbacks that have more Same or more passing touchdowns than Jalen Hertz We're looking at Jordan Love Joe Burrows tied foot seven Jimmy Grappler tied with seven Sam Howe Brock Purdy Justin Fields Jared golf Russell Wilson and then you know your normal suspects that you would expect to be at the top I mean, this is a guy who you know He's fourth in the MVP race right now On the Fandall sportsbook and the numbers really aren't telling that story So, you know, they have a good matchup this week against the Dolphins and good I mean, I expect to see points scored in that game have not even looked at that total But if it's anywhere shy of 53, I think that you know, that's probably wrong And we'll probably get to that point by the end of the week They have to come out and they have to show out. I mean it was a tough defense that they were facing I think they had opportunities just Jalen Hertz had his team in a position to you know Reap opportunities and the scoreboard won't tell you that because it was a pick six that kind of put it away for the Jets But they they definitely want to want to get going Dallas Cowboys are right on their tails The Detroit Lions are right on their tails.  I mean this this team is This team is rock solid. There's a reason why they're they're number one on the Fandall sportsbook now to win the Super Bowl They're just so good in every facet of the game There are just these times when you go up against teams and you know, that's that's what happens again You know, we're talking about the defense aside of the ball Everybody was wondering will this Cleveland defense be able to do this against a team like the 49ers They had been having a soft schedule pretty much up until that point when you look at it. The real interesting stat that I saw Jim if you can believe this is Jim Schwartz against Kyle Shanahan Yeah, three and oh when he's coming from the defense aside of the ball So that's you know, just one of those interesting, you know matchups where you know You kind of look at the tea leaves and that kind of paints the picture for you I do believe, you know, they're gonna get Debo back on track. I think he's you know back back healthy I know he had left that game Christian McCaffrey again I know he is banged up as well And that's the Achilles heel of this team and has always been has always been Through the course of time is can they stay healthy? But this offense stays healthy this defense stays healthy They're a tough team to beat and so, you know, it's the NFL any given Sunday, right? And the other days that they play Mondays sometimes Saturdays Thursdays But I I do think that, you know My cause for concern is nowhere near the level for the 49ers as it might be for the Eagles Which is still tempered, but I want to see something against the Dolphins to go forward with them Yeah 49ers playing in the rain playing in the winds playing with with Debo and McCaffrey leaving mid game and You know both neither injury seems to be long term like McCaffrey may not go this week But it sounds like beyond that he should be okay Debo day to day as well So I agree that you were no real concerns there. The Eagles have just felt off offensively this year, and I Don't know what's causing that You know, they've had Relative health along the offensive line and Elaine Johnson got banged up in the that week six came But like before that they were pretty healthy It seems like they're having trouble getting Devante Smith truly going like age of Browns been phenomenal But like I don't know. It just felt like off and Having trouble getting Devante Smith going Jim Devante Smith like the students on a milk carton right now I don't I mean he really needs to you know, they they showed that the linemen You know getting gifts from the quarterback sort of like Devante Smith's got to go and talk to you know It talks to Kelsey talks to rest those boys and what can I do to you know make Jalen hurts back in his good graces He was dropping, you know past it. He missed the past that would have been like a 50 plus yard touchdown I remember seeing yeah, and just have not they have not been on the same page for whatever reason He's got a you know, he's got to be able to rectify that. I know that AJ Brown was in Jalen hurts here to give him a ball He's you know, the Jalen hurts is the godfather to a son All that stuff, you know, the narratives are all over the place But you know the these guys definitely have to do their part and and show out for for Jalen I gotta get the godfather narrative involved in like DFS projections at some point. I think that's pretty necessary I think that does make a big big difference, but yeah, I agree with you where it's like I'm not that concerned about the Eagles yet But I am more concerned about them than our but then I am about the 49ers now I just pulled up the Super Bowl odds earlier on to show where things were at right now 49ers plus 430 Eagles plus out of 50 right between them is a cheese and Ryan I have not we haven't talked about the cheese very much here on the show in large group because they've taken care of business beyond That week one loss and that week one loss looks better every single week with how the Lions are playing so Where are you out on the cheese right now? I Tina? We haven't really talked much about here on the show Yeah, I am I'm Luke Luke warm about them and just because Like I don't feel like there's merit to discounting them and I don't feel like there's merit for them to be the number one team In the league right now as far as the power rankings go they you Outside of Travis Kelsey You know which Travis Kelsey having to scare we weren't able to talk about that because he ended up coming back in the same game Two weeks ago two games ago. I should say That that would have been very concerning Because he is by far the the catalyst of this offense for for guys not named Patrick Mahomes You know where she writes I think we start to see him get going here as we get later on into the season He looks like he can be a guy that that Mahomes is able to rely on you know outside of You know having to throw the ball to Valdez scantling or you know the other Guys who who are out there as they have to check out getting going You know is definitely going to be something that I think they they need to to do to be able to take the pressure off of Mahomes And the rest of these guys, but I mean this offense is just you know So explosive trust in Mahomes trust in Andy Reed the defense has definitely looked like they've you know Got a pep in their step as far as recent years and they you know This unit has been together for quite some time So I I definitely am liking you know the Kansas City where they are I don't think that there should be any you know merit to Discounting them and honestly like the more that the you know the more that the bills and the dolphins And some of these other teams in the AFC kind of make a name for themselves and that starts to trickle down I mean the sportsbook is you know, they're hanging on Jim They don't want to move Kansas City out of that to spot moving the three moving the four Because we know we know what that's gonna mean people are just gonna jump all over that you do love that they get a match up Coming up here against the Los Angeles Chargers where Patrick Mahomes is seven and two against that team and that just feels like a good way to kind of write things back And get back into the conversation for them. Yeah, they are six point favorites in that game right now against the Chargers That is an afternoon game on Sunday. I am delighted about that I know I don't want to go back to the Chargers after the way things went there, but at least it should be a fun game Sunday, especially because I will not be betting on the Chargers So what could be more fun than ignoring them from a betting perspective during that time now with me at the chiefs I think the the thing that I like about them Ryan right now is that the defense is playing as well as it is like the Yeah, I don't know the the typical flow of a chief season is a defense struggles early on and that because it's a very complex system Steve Spagnolo eventually gets all the new faces on defense integrated and they improve in the second half of the year And this year like if I ignore my prior their eighth in my defensive power rankings so far this year They're they've been very good on that side of the football and it's allowed them to Kind of take an inverse approach where the offense is the one Trying to get its rhythm going early on and then can hopefully excel later on you mentioned Rishi Rice He's looked really good I think that if they are able to increase the snap rate that could be a good thing for this passing offense to get Them at a better level so I feel pretty good about them because the defense is playing so well Whereas typically that's our big concern with this chiefs team early on as a defense. It's just kind of flipped So I trust the offense to get things going eventually that offensive line is stellar They've got Kelsey they got my homes and you can kind of figure out the rest in there So I agree to you where they're appropriately valued with where they stand right now Yeah, and now just one quick thing Jim. What I'll say is that you know They do have the longest active winning streak In the national football league now with the Eagles and 49ers having lost On the same day now the caveat to that for this year is when you're looking at who they've played this year Jim They only have beat one team with a winning record thus far So, you know and you know that lost to the Detroit is is against the winning team So that went against Jacksonville, which they had to eke that out in week, too That's pretty much their only they got to play the Jets. They got to play the Bears, Minnesota and Denver So we're looking, you know, they're gonna play the Chargers then Denver again And then they get the matchup against Miami in two weeks three games That is before their week 10 by now. That's really what we're gonna see them You know, we want the dolphins to keep winning. We want the cheese to keep winning We want that marquee matchup Which is actually a London game if I'm not mistaken or Germany game, I should say so that yeah That's gonna be a fun one to keep eyes on and then we'll you know We'll start to see where things are at and where the where the public is really feeling about the Chiefs after that one I just had to check to see what time that game started. So I want to see if they snuck it on the main slate I know typically the London slash Germany games are a 30 or a 30 central This one is also in the morning. So it's not in the main slate and that makes me very sad. So, oh, well, we tried maybe we can Brought someone in Germany to push that game back to the main slate Because I can I think we could use that at a certain point. All right Let's take a look back at week six overall Ryan where which teams saw their stock fluctuate most for you in week six Whether in a positive or a negative sense. Oh, let's go in here.  So I saw a stat Come out. I believe it was from front out for sports of just, you know Lamar Jackson being responsible for nearly 45 percent of the team's rushing output In his career, which is by far, you know, one of the, you know, largest by any quarterback in history And you know, he just has to do so much. We've seen the number I had kind of, you know, written up an article just about, you know, the state of the futures market And he was 20 to 1 going into this past week. He's now kind of moved. I believe to 14 to 1 Yeah, 14 to 1 to win the MVP like I still just like the Ravens the way that they're coached The offense gets going as a flowers getting more involved. Love to see that not worried about Mark Andrews I think he'll still be there. Hopefully they can get something going with the running back situation Because that's that's been kind of a thing that's been bothered them That's bothered them over the course of time But I do think the Ravens, you know, being able to kind of take care of business on the road in the tough environment against Tennessee And just kind of staying in the mix staying in the mix like the the AFC north is really there's There's to lose they have such a leg up or a slightly a leg up on the Bengals right now That you know, I'm willing to you know, buy merit in them now the Cincinnati Bengals Jim I just we talk I talk about them every week and I'm going to continue to do so because the talent on paper Like what this team is capable of is just not being reflected in the market right now They're plus 490 to win the AFC north and they're only a game back like they can start to close this gap very soon Um Very rapidly and nobody would be surprised So any type of futures that we can get on the Cincinnati Bengals for now Like I just want to be ahead of that curve like we're gonna you know We're talking about the Joe Burrow injury from beginning of the season and then early on and the more the time goes on Like the more he's just going to get healthy And if they you know, T Higgins is back in the mix and the defense has actually been making some noise So I really do like the Cincinnati Bengals To be you know in a good spot for success in these next coming weeks And we want to take advantage of that now the teams that i'm down on We don't we haven't talked about them all too much But I do think that they're firmly in the mix for the number one pick is the new england Patriots What's going on in new england right now is just extremely concerning Um, I you know, we've never Been in a situation to be able to trust this team to tank necessarily They keep saying that mac is their guy, but to be in a position where you could possibly You know have the number one pick have a franchise changer Especially if bella check's gonna stay there whether it be in a coaching role or gm role Like I think the writing's on the wall here like they you know the division that they play in Especially having to go against the the dolphins and the bills like they They are in a position for for this number one pick They're plus 750 right now to have the worst record and you know really You know they just fall into the caveat for me for all those teams carolina is the tough one because they have yet to You know win a game and I don't I don't know what their odds are for their first win But it it's probably not you know, it's probably not great. Um As far as in the public's favor, but I have to bring up the Patriots because we have not talked about them I find I find them very concerning I think the the the thing they could do to like help us like because they're annoying to watch If you want to be watchable because like if you're gonna suck at least be watchable Like just let me cut a ham cook like um, I think that that could be a lot of fun You know, they did a couple plays on sunday. Um, and like I had the raiders money line So I was a little that's like the one thing that may be a bit uncomfy about that bet was like Seeing him out there because it's like it's different and like I know what mac jones is and it's not going to scare me that much from a betting perspective But like malik cunningham could be weird And I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing, but it's different than mac jones, which is like a known Negative so like, you know, at least have some fun if you're gonna suck Well, and also, I mean, you know, let's talk about the future, right? So if you're going to go after a guy in the number one pick as kaleb williams out of usc Let's see how you can design an offence around a guy who can use his legs a little bit like Try trying to try and get that scheme going prior to that so that so that's a fun one The other one in the afc is just the tennessee titans We actually talked about them over the summer gym about, you know, potentially having, you know One of the worst records if not the worst record in the league and finishing last in the afc south and for that one You know, it's just kind of pour one out for derrick henry Like I think he's probably on the verge of like having a little less in the tank Maybe going to you know getting on a team that kind of needs something to just get over that hump And you know being not an every down player, but just somebody who's utilized in the red zone and whatnot So, uh, yeah, I think they have to look At their future and kind of what that holds now with tana hill, you know being injured and you know not really Having the time to get will love is set up for success. They might be in a mix for a quarterback again Very soon. So that's just a regime. That's that's you know, flip it on its head and doing a 180 Yeah, this would never happen because the nfl never has fun trades, but derrick henry to the ravens It would rule at the end. Oh my god. It would never happen Like it'll never happen I don't want to get anyone anyone's hopes up it'll never happen But like it'd be fun So, you know, if again if you want to if you want to make us happy nfl make that happen All right, ryan any final futures you want to lock in before we get into week number seven No, I think we I think we hit on them I uh, I think we we hit on the ones that we're looking at I'll definitely after week seven we'll have some fun ones to talk about as we get to that midway point So, uh, yeah, just keep keep your eyes out on the market Take take some shots. This this is still the time To to be able to do so and there's some fun ones out there to be had So make sure you're scouring the market for good prices because that's what it's all about at this time of the season Just getting getting some shots on some good prices some good long shots That could really pay off dividends and things can move fast So keep your eyes appealed as ryan said that is ryan williams check about on twitter at ryan alexander underscore W ryan a pleasure to have you on once again We'll talk to you once again monday to preview the 49ers and the vikings from underneath football Sounds good.

That's not a huge surprise because jared golf has been shredding They didn't have a monitor state brown, but still played very well So, you know, not a surprise to the fifth and offense But they're also seventh on defense, which to me at least is surprising They made a lot of additions on defense, but cj garter johnson has done for the year So they've lost some of the additions they made defensively, but they've still played Really well now granted baltimore is ahead of them defensively. Um, they're fifth there So the edge is pretty small And the offense of baltimore is a bit behind where detroit is at right now Some of that is because the ravens have gotten unlucky. They've had some really poorly timed drops at crucial moments in games Uh, they've had some bad penalties too and that's masked how well lamar jackson specifically has played at times But I still think the lions are undervalued in this spot with where the market has them I don't mind if you want to take the points. Uh, they're plus three at vandal sports book Uh, getting the plus three is minus 110 right now I just show more value on the money line at plus 130. So I think this game should be more of a toss up, honestly And we're getting the lions at plus 130. It's a very good number to get them at So I think that the money line is the way to go here with the lions personally Plus 130 a good value on them against the ravens Second bet for me is going to be in a less fun game. Well less fun for Me at least because I've been betting a lot against the falcons recently and hasn't always gone perfectly But I do want to do it once again in lane the two and a half with the timpabate buccaneers The two and a half minus two and a half is minus 112 at vandal sports book and I think that laying less than the field goal here is pretty attractive Because it's a kind of bad match up for atlanta's offense. The buccaneers rush defense We always had this concept in our head of Todd bowls being this like mastermind to stop in the rush and That wasn't true necessarily to begin the year, but it's been more true recently After you adjust for opponent the bucks are now allowing negative 0.06 rushing epa per attempt on early downs according to number fires epa model And they're a negative 0.06 league average is negative 0.01 So they've been very good there and that's tough for an atlanta offense that really does Want to run the football when they can Past defense for the bucks has been pretty good to early downs It's been more so the late downs where they've struggled getting off the field on third and fourth down Is the one spot where the buck's defense hasn't been as sterling as it typically has been As far as the falcons defense, they've gotten shredded through the air defensively While being pretty good against the rush and the bucks aren't very good on the ground Anyway, they do try to run the football a little bit, but like You know, I think that if we're going to lean into strength It's probably not a bad thing for them to face a defense that is pretty stout against the rush But not that good against the pass Uh, the the buck's passing attack is healthy right now I was concerned with Mike Adams command to buy but uh, was good to go for that game on sunday They didn't do much, but again, Detroit's defense has exceeded expectations so far this year I think they should be able to move the ball here And I think they should be able to hold the falcons rushing offense and check So I had the buck's favored by more than a field goal here So laying two and a half and minus 112 totally fine by me and I am okay with that So the buccaneers minus two and a half and minus 112 second spot. I am going for week number seven third spreader money line for me is going to be on the uh sunday night football game That is a fun one between the miami dolphins and the philadelphia eagles where right now The dolphins money line is plus 112 at fan dual sportsbook. They're two and a half point dogs I want to take the money line here at plus 112 on the dolphins I'm expecting jillian carter back for this game for the eagles didn't play against the jets So that'll be a boost for the eagles defense where they were Against the jets and the dolphins did struggle against the bills, which is kind of the one True test they've had so far this year but It's really tough for me to skew this one as heavily in the eagles favor as it is right now And that's even while not putting too much weight into the eagles shaking this for the first six weeks I talked about that with the ride where they've looked kind of off There's still eighth in my offensive power rankings Even if you ignore The high prior I had them them coming into this year The problem is that the dolphins are second in that metric and They're in a tier with the 49ers that is above the rest of the pack. It's the 49ers one dolphins two by a hair Tier drop down to the bills who are third another tier drop down to the rest of the league and this is just for 2023 data Looking at the offensive side of things. So like the dolphins are have been astronomically good so far this year It sounds like there's a chance lane johnson could go in this game for the eagles despite leaving early in week number six He is a an animal who plays through a lot of crazy stuff So i'm projecting this right now as if lane johnson and jalen carter will both play But if johnson can't go or carter can't go That'd tip things even more in miami's favor That bills game where the dolphins did struggle does give me a bit of pause here But I have enough faith in the dolphins to bite at this number again plus one 12 on the money line for the dolphins on sunday night football I am okay with going there personally on sunday night The one total i'm targeting for this week is in the packers and the broncos game right now the total is 45 I'd like the under on that one. I know these defenses are not good But neither are the offenses. It's also a below average matchup in terms of pace Denver relatively sluggish on pace while green bay around average so far this year Denver games in general have been very conducive to overs here a lot of weird shootouts and I did get bitten by taking an under on Them earlier on this year that was in the bears game and that game went pretty well over that total but I'd rather bet on The crazy scoring regressing when it's two below average offenses than anything else I think that offense is stickier than defense. So these defenses not playing well I am putting less stock in that that i'm putting in The offense is not playing well and honestly look at the personnel denver has on defense I don't think they should be good But I don't think they should be as bad as they played so far this year Maybe the packers by and the broncos mini by gets these offenses back on track that could definitely happen But I just think 44 is A bit too high given the lack of offensive firepower in this game Like would we be shocked if this is a 24 20 total at the end of the game? I wouldn't personally So getting a hit a full hit on a 44 pretty solid for me So I do like the under at 45 at minus 110 again It could bite me because neither defense is very good, but I do think that's the right way to go For this game So four bets for me this week are the lion's money line plus 130 Bucking ears minus two and a half and minus 112 the dolphin's money line at plus 112 and the packers Broncos under 45, which is minus 110 Before we finish up here got a recap recommendations from last week here on the show beginning with dr Ed fang you can find him on twitter at the power I could check him out at the power rank dot com at one on one this week The hit was in college ed was on mizu plus two and a half They were taking on kentucky that number did close a one and a half So a point of value there not across a key number, but a point of value there for ed and Mizzou won this game outright pretty easily final score there at 30 21 So good call on ed by taking mizu recommended both the spread and the money line there So good call by ed as both those do want to pet it Ed was on the chargers plus two and a half against the cowboys as was I as was ryan They were a nightmare because they're the worst They almost did hit or cover the two and a half as it was a three point game, but No in there the chargers are the worst But again one to one week for ed good season overall for ed thus far So follow him on twitter at the power rank JJ Zachary's and join us sock player props you can find him on twitter at late round qb Check out his work at late round com and the late round fantasy football podcast jj Three and one on the week including a long shot touchdown bet That was josh downs at plus three ten downs scored late for the cults While they were in catch-up mode, which was kind of the thought process there is jaguars were decently favored uh cults I garden made you a quarterback So went through the air quite a bit and downs it did score a plus three ten good call by jj there JJ has hit three to one or longer on a touchdown bet in four out of six weeks now So running hot kudos to jj on that other two wins for jj recur to samuel Over 34 and a half receiving yards and tige spears over 15 and a half receiving yards Samuel was minus one away to go for 34 and a half. He finished with 42 spears was minus 114 48 yard reception for tige spears on the screen Layed in that game to go well over his total of 15 and a half yards The lone miss or jj was chris godwin at plus 195 for an anytime touchdown But godwin seven targets 70 70 yards played really well But no touchdowns in the box overall in that game So a very good week for jj good calls by him as always check him out on twitter at late round qb Ryan was with us last night talking chargers and cowboys. I talked to me the charges money line my bad At least we were both on the under a 50 and a half. So that did help but the props didn't go our way here eckler Austin eckler was plus 195 to lead in rushing yards. Ryan liked that number It was actually dach prescott who led in rushing yards He had 40 total rushing yards aided by that that long touchdown scamper. Tony powered Austin eckler could not get things going So uh dach actually was the guy with the most rushing yards We also we talked about eckler over 87 and a half rushing plus receiving yards a minus 114 That didn't hit because eckler didn't get a ton through the air either Not sure if it was like a easing it back in thing or what but Not a whole lot for eckler there and then uh ryan also talked about dach to have 35 plus pass attempts at plus 102 Couldn't get that one either. So um, at least we had the under but overall rough Monday football game and actually ruined my perfect week because I was three and one for the week Uh had the chargers money line plus 108. That was the one loss other recommendations were the vikings and bears under 46 and minus 115 I think that one finished with 32 total points the bengal seahawks under 46 and minus 110 They finished with 30 points both of those games aided by weather. So got good clv at least on the vikings bears game not as much on the bengal seahawks the wind did die down a bit But either way both wins there and had the texans money line a plus 106 Against the saints at home cj stroud is the best I will not be on the texans money line for the first time all season in week seven Because they're on a buy but that probably means way back on them a week eight So excited to have the texans back in my life next week That is all that we have here for today on covering the spread want to give a big thank you once again to ryan williams Check him out on twitter at ryan alexander underscore w tomorrow.

A Bagley man who escaped from police custody has been apprehended near Winger. Polk County Sheriff's Department officials say 20 year old Tony Kruger was being transported to the hospital when he overpowered a deputy around one this afternoon and took off in a transport vehicle. Eventually the state patrol used a pursuit intervention technique to stop the vehicle near Winger. Kruger ran off into a bean field. Authorities used drones and dogs to finally locate Kruger just before eight tonight and they took him back into custody at that time. Kruger was being held at the Northwest Regional Correction Center on charges of obstruction and fling.
