Broadway is my beat, from Times Square to Columbus Circle, the gaudiest, the most violent, the lonesomeest mile in the world. Broadway is my beat, with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover. When Broadway leaps into the night time, the sound is a thin compounded of trumpet and machine and hiss and the gaudy laugh. They melt together and the noise you get is shock. When the month is March and the rains of spring fall softly into the riot, shock scatters and huddles tightly behind this facade and that. In that doorway, behind that window, the street is hurry up and get out of the weather. The street is stragglers, is bleeding neon. So make a phone call, find a friend. It's lonely in the rain. There were ceiling to floor windows where I was to enjoy the view high above the city and look out over it. Blurred now by the spinning raindrops, the penthouse apartment, and violent death on the 40th floor with its own private entrance and Detective Mugger venealing over. It's a way to die, Danny, with a 32 slug, I'd say, shot in the back. Of course, it's frowned on by 100% sports. Who is he, Mugger? The name's Gordon Merrick. You know, Angel Merrick. I hope he makes Angel worthy. Merrick, huh? The showbacker with a golden touch, isn't that what the columnists call him? Yeah. They'll think of a better one after the night. Let's have it, Mugger, but what happened? Well, pretty definite when he was shot, a hotel like this times everything. Calls, requests for room service, you know. Merrick called down for champagne at 11.30 and the table service. For a two? Would you drink champagne alone on a rainy night in a place like this? Sure for two. Waiter brought everything a half hour later at midnight. No answer. Walked in, saw Merrick lying there. Any callers on the desk, you know? Uh-uh. Anybody could get on the public elevator to the 35th floor, get off, take the private elevator to here. No way of checking. That painting underneath him looks like he grabbed it when he fell. I don't blame him. All I got to resemble is that picture I had to cut out of a magazine and paste in my locker. With Merrick, it's a life-sized oil painting. Comes the time I back a show starring that woman. Oh, Royce. Beautiful girl, Muggerman. I saw her a couple of weeks ago coming out of the theater where her show was playing. Well, I would have found some excuse to stop her and talk to her. You know, your car is parked in the wrong zone or something? Well, work to do, huh, Danny? And through the window, the pattern of the city far below, sodden now with rain and mist, the sunken city, its roar muted, its brilliance dimmed and sallowed in the haze of night rain. Then the quick, phosphorescent gleam of neon, and only neon has the power of flight through this darkness. All other lights are slowed, their shimmer flows on the currents of wind. And here and there, a trap gathered into a blob, shapeless, blurred, and a man on the pavements below pauses an instant, touches a flame to a cigarette, hurries away because this death in this place has somehow whispered into the fall of rain. And at headquarters, the opening of a file on the death of Gordon Merrick, the image of the woman's portrait to whom he spoke is dying, gives you the first entry. A name, Carol Royce, an address, Sutton Place on the East River. Go there. The woman who finally opens her door to you is wrapped in night lace and goes well with March time. I was trying to sleep. It's quite late, you know. For me, it's late. I'm from the police, Miss Royce. May I come in? It's late, I told you. I'm trying to sleep. I have a matinee tomorrow. It's about Gordon Merrick. What if I to do it? What about Gordon? He's dead. He was murdered. Please come in. I asked you something. Yes? What have I to do with Gordon Merrick? Alive or dead? We found him holding a portrait of you. When he was shot in the back, he must have reached out and... In the back? Poor boy. In the back. It must have hurt. You think so? Think what? Think that it hurt. Tell me. I want to know. I'll send you the autopsy report. Do that. Please do that. That's all it means to you? He's dying like that? Well, Gordon called me at the theater tonight, asked me to a champagne supper for two, a cold bird and candlelight to talk about things. I was bored talking to him about things, so I didn't go. I came home, tried to sleep on my portrait in his arms. Poor boy. Talk to him about what things, Miss Royce? Vic Cain, him over there in the silver picture frame. I met him when I toured the USO. Last war. The man stood out from that olive drab crowd on the hill. I went after him tooth and claw. I got him. And Merrick wanted you back, wanted you away from this, Vic Cain. He never made it. But he died trying. That you can say for Gordon Merrick, he never stopped trying. Vic Cain, did he know about you and Merrick? Jealous. Jealous is my Vic, so bitterly, so without reason. I adore the man you hear. A knight fills with rain and no Vic. You hear? Where does he live? A rooming house on 3rd, 756 3rd Avenue. But he won't be there when you go to him. I've been calling him ever since I got home. Hello? Oh, yes. Yes. Is it? Yes. Vic Cain? No, our eager boy stage manager calling a rehearsal for tomorrow's matinee. You, Vic, between the two of you, you've murdered sleep. Anything else you want, then? And leave there in the drive-now downtown through the streets of wavering shapes and rain that slants toward you with the sound of the windshield wiper that somehow becomes intimate and lolling. The spotlight on the car searches out a house number, finds it. Be told Vic Cain is not at home. But why don't you wait, sir? That chair over there in the hall, sir, is for waiters. So wait. The hall is a place of built-in draft and a picture of a tiger at bay and a rug becoming one with a wooden floor. Wait. And in an hour. Your name, Vic Cain? Who are you? Police. Danny Clover. Waiting for me? That's right. You could have waited in my room, mister. In here, it's always open.  What do you want, cop? Information about the death of Gordon, Merrick. He dead on a rainy night? Very theatrical. Very... He was shot in the back, Vic. You got a gun? Yeah, I got one. 32.  You just tell your boss I said you're real good. The 32 it is. Get it. Sure. Hey, what is this? Can't find it, Vic. What do you think I'm doing, cop? Going through a ritual before I reach onto the mattress and say, well, here it was all the time? The gun is gone. Somebody just walked into your room by the side of the road, which you leave open because you're friendly, and if somebody took it, is that right? That's right. Where were you tonight, Rick? Shooting snooker. I can point out the table, the cue stick. You want me to? Between 11 and 12 midnight? Had me walk along Broadway past Carroll's Theater to look at the posters. Then had me a long walk in the park. In the rain?  Hold it up. Let's see. It's a muddy park tonight, Vic. Your shoes are awfully clean. What did you do? Walk on your hands. Now look. You're under arrest, Vic. Suspicion of murder. And deliver him to homicide to the death handlers for further questioning, further probing. The coffee scalded too many times. The pack of cigarettes tossed in a gleaming arc from one shadow to another. The quiet night talk. Cain stays with his story. He's booked, locked up on suspicion of the murder of Gordon Merrick. And in a room reserved for it, gather up the shreds and rags of sleep. Try to arrange them on the steel cot. Not quite make it, because too quick there's a gentle clutching at your shoulder. Danny? Danny, sorry I have to bother you, but there's a man waiting for you in your office. A couple hours now. I tried to let you sleep as long as... Walk away from sleep to where the man waits. A bulk of a man is hand like a clump of cold iron in yours and his voice. Soft. Surprisingly soft. I wish I didn't need to disturb you, Mr. Clover. You boys work hard. Need all the dreams you can steal. I know. Anything I can do for you? If you care to, you can. It's a matter that rests entirely with you. My position being rather ambiguous in this thing. Which makes me a pleader, Mr. Clover. Special pleader. For what? I'm a private investigator, Jackie Skarn. I've been retained this morning by Miss Carol Royce to investigate the murder of Gordon Merrick, which you were handling, I understand. You see now, what an ambiguous position she's... You could have told her you didn't want it. You could have told her the police were handling it. You've seen her, Mr. Clover. You talked to her at the moment when she expected another call. You'll understand my receptiveness. That's in the large fee. She's paying you to find Vic Cain innocent of Merrick's murder? An observation not too astute, considering how deeply she loves this Cain man. No offense, Mr. Clover. Honestly, no offense. If you took the job, you must believe that you can do that. Prove Cain's innocence. Otherwise you'd be... Taking all that she offered under false pretenses? Not true, Mr. Clover. I shall work very hard. And with integrity, if I prove nothing, I get nothing. Only expenses. That's the thing we've grown to admire here, Mr. Skarn, integrity. And you'll admire me. And since I must begin the process somewhere, your permission to speak with the Cain man in his cell, that is if it's... Move. Danny Clover here. Margaret and Danny, get down to the morgue. Got a thing for you. Real interesting thing. Right away. You want to talk to Cain. That's your special plea, Mr. Skarn? Exactly. So I too can earn my keep. Tell him at the desk I said you could have an hour. Go ahead. Prove his innocence, Skarn. I'll admire you when it happens. Over here, Danny. Why don't you take a look at somebody? Okay. What have you got? This woman. Been here in the morgue since five this morning. She'd been dead about half hour. Who is she? A name that's made police plot her a lot of times. The vicinity of the Bowery. What did you call me for? This. This gun. It was found beside her in an alley downtown. And? It's been up to technical, Danny. I killed this woman came from this gun. Also the slug that killed Gordon Merrick. Let me see it for a second. Serial numbers been filed off. Yeah, I was coming to that. The boys in technical raise the numbers. And you know what? No, I don't know what. Come on, come on. Guns registered to Vic Cain. But I had Vic booked a two this morning. Yeah. His gun. This woman he couldn't have killed. You've got to find yourself a new murderer. David Friedkin and starring Larry Thor as detective Danny Clover. Now here's a word from Bert Lancaster, star of the motion picture, the Crimson Pirate. This is Bert Lancaster. I've been doing quite a bit of traveling around the world lately, either on location or making personal appearances. But I always keep in touch with Hollywood by listening to the Lux Radio Theater every Monday night over the CBS radio network. To radio actors, the Lux Radio Theater is Hollywood. Because you can always be sure of hearing the latest and best motion pictures with the original stars. Why don't you tune in with me to the CBS Radio Network next Monday night and hear some fine entertainment on the Lux Radio Theater. This Monday night it's Barry Fitzgerald and Blythe and Dennis Day in Top of the Morning on most of these same CBS radio stations. The squall of rain lashes once more at Broadway. For the time of its passing the desolation is complete. Only the gutters run with movement. Only the pavement receives reflects the shrieking of spectaculars, the insinuations of neon, the whisperings into nothing. The shrill promises offered on rain-tossed wind. And finally the storm begins its dying. And from underground a girl darts her slicker glistening, her hair streaming under the shelter of a newspaper torn from a trash bin. And after her another and then another, the street is no longer desolation. Something else now. Something that happens after rain. From a window, consider it. Follow the trickle of a raindrop of your finger. Consider that in this passing storm a woman had lain dead in an alley. Then turn away from it and come face to face with Sergeant Attaglia. Rain is indeed a moody thing, ain't any? Oh, well hello to you. I tossed a similar comment to Mrs. Attaglia during the night.  It taps on windows, calls up memories of thoughthood. You woke her to tell her that? Once she woke me about snow. We have an understanding about things like that, Danny. I'm glad for you both. I should tell Mrs. T you didn't mind. I woke her up. Thank you, Danny. And me, Gino, what do you have to tell me? That the woman found dead of the same gun which did murder one Gordon Merrick. What about her, Gino? A woman Sophie Henry by name. A frequent caller at a precinct pokey, a frequent instigator of brawls, friendly riots, et cetera, et cetera. I rack it up to here, Danny. Anything in it about a connection between her and Gordon Merrick? None, Danny. It was gone over by the department with tooth and comb. No connection. Anything else? An address if you need it. Besides the pokey, a fleabag in the bowery. I scrolled the name here, Danny. Fake if you need it. You're welcome. That boy was holding for Merrick's murder, Danny. Vic came. What about him? Do we release? Not yet, Gino. There's still an answer I've got to find. Why Sophie Henry was killed with his gun? So because the new murder is closer to you in time than the old one, pursue the reasons for violence done upon a woman named Sophie Henry, late of the bowery, late of police blotters, late of the living. The ride downtown to the tip of the island. The streets are clean now after the rain. The chalk on the wall faded. The gutters running deep and turbulent for the five-year-old sailors of matchsticks. The address you're looking for is spliced between a grocery store and a bar. And note briefly that the cat in the bar window is the fatter. Yeah, Paul. Good morning. I'm from the police. Name's Danny. You come right in here, boy. This way, right in, honey boy.  Meet your brother. Hello, Mr. Skarn. Good morning to you, Mr. Clover. Your brother? He's a cop too, huh? Ain't had two cops in here the same time since the time Mr. Prybush is through a fit. I hope I'm not intruding into your jurisdiction, Mr. Clover. You got your job to do. And nobody's through a fit today. Well, uh, what do you, sonnies, want? I'm sure we're both looking for the same thing, Mrs. Pope. Oh. Please watch the album, Mrs. Pope. This sonny just told me about Sophie. She's dead, he tells me. So what do you want with me? I want you to help the police find out who is...  Who did that to her, huh? Who beat and threw her in an alley to die like that? Who would do that to my little Sophie, huh? She was doing that when you knocked on the door, Mr. Clover.  You found out anything, all this that we ought to know? Believe me, I'd be the first one to let you know. How come you're here? Oh, you must know, for an identical reason that you are. The papers had it. My client's gun killed this woman, Sophie Henry. Hey! Yes, Mrs. Pope? How about me? What about you? Ain't you got questions, ask me.  Scouts, honor. Just to answer this question, when was the last time you saw Miss Henry? Well, when the whole phone woke me up last night and the gentleman said, get Sophie to the telephone. And so I did. What gentleman asked you that? Did he give his name? No, he gave his name. I called Sophie to the phone. What time was this, Mrs. Pope? What time? Well, about midnight last night. After the call, she got dressed like always and she went out, so I closed my door and went back to sleep. Poor Sophie. You know, she was like a little girl. Nothing you couldn't ask her to do, and she would do it right away. She was always... Let's get out of here, Scum. Just one thing, Mr. Clover. Looks good for my client, doesn't it? How can you possibly figure Vic Cain the killer? Thanks, guard. I'll call you when I want you. Hello, Vic. Welcome. Carl Royce, been in to see you, Vic? She was here. How? She wept and pressed her lips against the wire mesh and carried on. Everything but the saw and the fruitcake. I can't figure you at all, Vic. Yeah, yeah. Police psychologists had it go at me a little while ago. Screaming down the hall. I can't figure you, Vic.   You love, Carol? It eats you what I got for Carol. That's not what I asked you. Listen. You love her? What you want with me? Love her? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That gives you motive. To kill for her? We've been over that. I said no to you. I know. You weren't walking in the park at the time of Merrick's death. Hey, I forgot to tell you something about that. I scraped the mud off my shoes so I wouldn't get the landlord's rug all muddy and dirty. He's got trouble enough with tenants who drop cigarette butts.  Did you happen to walk past Merrick's apartment house and just happen to get on the elevator and just happen to get off at the penthouse? I've never been in a penthouse in my life, which includes Merrick. One more question, Vic. Did they let you see the morning papers? I saw them. Put you up a tree, doesn't it, cop? Try and move kind of. What kind of jury is going to convict me, cop? Merrick dead with my gun. I go to jail. Hours later, I'm still in jail and somebody else has found shot to death in an alley. Also shot with my gun.  That guy, that guy that Carol hired for me, that Jackie scorn, he's going to find out what this is all about. What do you want, you know? Well, that's his old man. He's here. Take a look. You'll be interested in this, too, Vic. These copies of your prints. What about them? They match perfectly with prints taken off the phone at Mr. Gordon Merrick's penthouse apartment. Okay, okay, what? So I was at his apartment? That's right. I forgot to tell you. I made a free phone call from there, but I didn't kill Merrick because I didn't have a gun. My gun was stolen. That I can prove.  So what are you going to prove, cop? And leave him and spend the rest of the afternoon wondering about Vic's question. What was I going to prove? And know this. Vic would never be brought to trial unless I could prove something. His statement that his gun had been stolen would hold. But make an assumption and work from there. Assumption, Vic had murdered Gordon Merrick. Reason for assumption, Vic had lied twice. The mutt that wasn't on his shoes, his prints that were on a telephone. Further reason for assumption, that motive for killing Merrick. Motive? The love of Carol Royce. What needed to be known now was how the murder gun was found in the Bowery beside a dead woman. So have dinner and think about it. Read a newspaper, catch up on back detail. And it's 11.30, a late time, but still a question time. So go now to the apartment of Carol Royce. It's getting habitual. I open the door and it's you. Mind if I come in? Well turned question? Yes, I might. Mind if I ask why? Because I'm dressed like this. My third act costume happens to be this negligee and I rush right home. We've got to talk, Miss Royce. If you want a change, I'll wait. Well, a packed house for me like this tonight. Come on in for some standing room. Thank you. In here. And don't stand too long. It gets me nervous. Say your say and get out. I understand you saw Vic this morning, Miss Royce. Yes, I did. To see him with bars in front of him. I wanted to measure myself control. You think you'll be getting out? I don't know much about the law, but I doubt whether they'll even arrange him. It's what my friends tell me. It's what I read in the papers. Vic's coming home to me. We'll have a party. He'll drink wine for my slipper. We'll pass it around the room and only the two of us will drink it. It'll be a happy... Mr. Skarn, come on in. Miss Royce has been waiting for you. Of course. I guess I was wrong all the time. Don't let it distress you, Mr. Clover. People are wrong about things right about things all the time. It happened... The best time I was too wrong. I thought Vic and Miss Royce... Now it turns out you have the key to Miss Royce's apartment. I had help. I'm a courteous employer and I expect loyalty from my domestic. Domestic? I suppose you could say so. And I'm sure your visit's about over, Mr. Clover. It's about right. Miss Royce? Man talk now, Mr. Clover. The three of us. You really love Vic, don't you?  When's he going to come home, Skarn? That's up to Mr. Clover, my dear. But it shouldn't be too long. He'll be held where he is for trial and the trial is going to be for murder. Does he know what he's talking about? No. When's Vic coming back to? Soon. Soon. You can believe that if you want, Miss Royce, but that's not the way it is. Vic Cain killed Merrick out of jealousy over you. Skarn! Gently. Gently, my dear. I told you... Did you tell her Vic's prince were found in Merrick's apartment? Oh. Skarn! Gently. I paid you! You said it would be all right. The situation doesn't warrant so much drama, my dear. It's really a very simple situation. Let's start from there.  He used Merrick's phone, called you, told you what he'd done. Listen to him! Listen to him, Skarn! So, Miss Royce got in touch with you, Skarn, and you set up a thing. I'm sure Miss Royce is quite bored with all this now, Miss... Are you, Miss Royce? You set up a thing, Skarn.   Gently. Gently, my dear. That's right, then killed. Skarn got hold of a woman named Sophie Henry, murdered her with Vic's gun. You did! You did! You did! Look, Clover, that way Vic would never be brought to trial. Lack of sufficient evidence. His story about his stolen gun couldn't be disproved.  I don't help in any way. I get practically nothing, but you helped. You did a lot. You got a reward coming, if you want. Let's go, Skarn. That's Carol Royce, Clover. No. Then we'll have to do it another way. Old Queen! What do you want? Here's my gun, Mr. Clover. Did I kill him? Is he dead? He's dead. Good. Take me away. I feel clean again. Broadway's almost empty now, except for those who never quit. Those who wear peepholes for eyes, the dreamwalkers, the people who want to laugh, the search behind doorways in alleys through shuttered windows. They never go home, because they can't. It's Broadway, the gaudiest, the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world. Broadway, my beat. Broadway's My Beat stars Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover with Charles Calvert as Sir Taglia and Jack Krushen as Muggevin. The program was produced and directed by Elliott Lewis with musical score composed and conducted by Alexander Courage. In tonight's story, Rita Johnson was heard as Carol Royce, her Butterfield as Jackie Skarn, Martha Wentworth as Mrs. Polk and Paul Richards as Vic Kane. Tomorrow night, Joseph Cotton stars in Playhouse on Broadway. The play is titled In a Lonely Place. Don't forget it's a thriller for Playhouse on Broadway tomorrow night on most of these same CBS radio stations. And remember, Robert Q's Waxworks bring you the top record and recording artists of the CBS Radio Network.

And they really did their research. They went to all the bars, they get an idea of what it was really like in that scene, and they actually shot in the bars too. Shot in a bar that was called the Mindshaft, but they changed the name to both the cockpit and the ramrod for the movie. Which are great names for gay bars like let's face it.


But we can continue to talk last time. We just stopped talking and he struck out. So yeah We're trying to change the mojo a little guys are superstitious.  Well, did you catch the booing as he was coming up to home plate? I did what he said He said what am I a wriggly?


Aloha. Welcome to Global Connections. I'm your host, Grace Cheng, here today to talk about questions about human rights in the United States under a Trump presidency. Joining me today is Professor Aaron Felmas from Arizona State University. He is a professor of law and Willard H. Pedrick, distinguished research scholar at the Sandra Day O'Connor School of Law. Aloha, Aaron. Thank you for joining me today. Aloha. It's a pleasure to be here. Great. Thank you so much. So you are a professor of law over at Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law. Can you tell us a bit about your area of professional specialization? Well, I'm an international lawyer and so what I do involves human rights as well as more generally the way the states relate to one another. Human rights is a bit of an exception though because that's a matter that has individual benefits for people like you and me and is not just about states committing to one another but committing to one another for the specific purpose of protecting the interests of individuals. Yes, and you're also the chair of the International Human Rights Law section of the American Branch of the International Law Association, correct? That's right. The International Law Association is a group of lawyers, academics and diplomats who have banded together to promote international law and its understanding. And the American branch is of course the United States branch of it and my committee is the International Human Rights Committee, right? And recently your committee has set up a subcommittee on the U.S. compliance on international human rights law. What inspired that to be formed in recent months? Well, it's always been important to ensure the United States compliance with international human rights law. It's become more important recently because for the first time in the last hundred years we have a president-elect who's vowed to do some things that very clearly violate human rights law. And so I created the subcommittee in order to monitor the administration and to ensure that it doesn't, well, basically do any of the things that are promised to do. The subcommittee is composed of 16 lawyers from around the world, mostly in the United States, but all over, as well as 14 law students, about half of whom are from ASU, the rest from elsewhere. And this is a nonpartisan group. We're not ideologically motivated. We're not affiliated with any political party. The goal is just to ensure that we maintain the highest standards of commitment to human rights and have a rapid reaction force ready in case something disastrous happens. Yes, international human rights is not ideologically oriented and probably no state in the world has a perfect human rights record. So, I mean, certainly there are reports and criticisms of other American administrations not having perfect human rights record. What raises particular concerns about the human rights observance by the United States under a Trump presidency? Well, that's right. I mean, there is no history of perfect compliance in any administration, but Trump has been very explicit. He said a number of things that would be serious human rights violations that he would propose to do if elected. And then what's more troubling still, some of these are actual crimes against humanity or war crimes. And so they're very serious indeed. Yes. Okay. Erin, we're going to take a short break right here just to deal with a couple of technical issues. So we'll be right back on Global Connections. Stay tuned. This is Steve Katz. I'm a marriage and family therapist and I do shrink wrap, which is now going to every other week all during the summer and maybe forever after.  Have a good time. Do what's fun and take good care of yourself. Bye-bye. Hello, I'm Marianne Sasaki. Welcome to Think Tech Hawaii, where some of the most interesting conversations in Honolulu go on. I have a show on Wednesdays from one to two called Life in the Law, where we discuss legal issues, politics, governmental topics, and a whole host of issues. I hope you'll join me. Hello, welcome back to Global Connections. I'm your host, Grace Chang, here with Aaron Thelmuth of Arizona State University. And we're talking about questions about U.S. observance of our human rights violations under a Trump presidency. Welcome back, Erin. Thank you. Yeah, so we were talking about, yes, like records of presidents historically. You know, there are always human rights watchdogs to ensure that presidents or other members of government know when they're not fully living up to their obligations to international human rights laws. Some of the things that President-elect Trump has said, however, raise particular concerns because of, you know, the nature of the statements, kind of reflecting maybe not consideration of even how they, you know, whether human rights play into his way of thinking. That's right. I think he's not very well informed in this subject. And the hope is that a lot of what he said during his campaign is just bluster or said to achieve popularity with a certain segment of the population, and that he doesn't really intend to go through with it. On the other hand, some of the things he said raise his concerns about his moral commitment to the values that underlie human rights, like human dignity and equal respect for human dignity. And so those raise special concerns. If you like, I can discuss some of the things that he said that have been particularly troublesome. Yes, yeah. That would be really, really helpful. Well, on November 20, 2015, last year, for example, he said in an interview with an MSNBC reporter that he would certainly implement a database of all Muslims in the United States. And then the following day at a rally in Birmingham, Alabama, he said he would use the database to monitor the activities of Muslims and mosques in the United States. Now, to be fair, most of his statements focus on Muslim immigrants and refugees, but he's never rejected the idea of a universal registry of all Muslims. That would create a number of problems under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which the United States was a party to. All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. And there are general principles of non-discrimination involved and, of course, creating a registry of that kind, putting aside the illusions to history that it creates and very disturbing history would almost certainly violate those principles. Those principles are also found in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, a very widely adhered to human rights treaty to which the United States is a party. It's been a party for a long time. So, non-discrimination, equality before the law, those would be a problem. There's also an additional provision that most people aren't aware of because it's not really reflected in our constitution so much like equality is. But under Article 27 of the International Covenant, in those states in which ethnic, religious, or linguistic minorities exist, persons belonging to such minorities shall not be denied the right in community with other members of their group to enjoy their own culture, to practice their own religion, and so forth. And so, again, any attempt to stigmatize or, you know, isolate or otherwise put Muslims at a disadvantage would put us in violation of our human rights obligations. And during his campaign, some of the things that he said which were a bit unusual for a public figure running for political office statements about women as well as other minority groups, do those, even though he doesn't necessarily come out with any particular policy position, do those raise any questions or concerns? Yes, I know. That's a little more complex because although there are international human rights instruments that forbid even forms of speech that are hateful to specific groups based on ethnicity, religion, and so forth, and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women would require some kind of measure to prevent or punish attempts to discriminate against women in public fora. But we're not really, first of all, we're not parties to that convention and second, we have exceptions or what we call reservations that we've made to the conventions relating to regulation of speech. And so, it's disturbing, it's morally repugnant, but is it illegal under international law? Probably not. There are other things that he's proposed to do, though, that are clearly illegal. For example, in December 2015, he said in a campaign press release that he actually read this out loud at a rally in South Carolina. He said he would oppose a total and complete shutdown on Muslims entering the country. Again, universal declaration of human rights, the international covenant on civil and political rights, that's forbid discrimination based on religion, and so that would certainly violate those rights. And there are other things, I mean, worse things that he said. Obviously, he said, you may recall this, I'm sure everyone does, that in February of this year, during the Republican debates, he said he'd bring back waterboarding and accused terrorists and do a hell of a lot worse that were his words than that. And he said it again at a campaign event about a week and a half later, he would torture accused terrorists, and then he said on Fox and Friends, he would assassinate the families of accused terrorists. Again, putting aside the loathsome morals of someone who would make a statement like that, human rights problems are just legion with something like that. It would violate the rights to life, liberty, and security of a person. In those two instruments I just mentioned before, the right to recognition of a person anywhere. And also, and this is where I mentioned the thing about war crimes and crimes against humanity. The Geneva Conventions of 1949, which were parties to, and have long been parties to, prohibit murder of civilians that prohibited punishment for the offenses that they haven't personally committed, to be specific about that. They forbid, of course, any kind of harm to children. And more generally, they prohibit attacks on civilians. And that's also made its way into the International Criminal Court statute. Again, we're not part of the International Criminal Court statute, but acts that the United States commits in countries that are parties to the ICC statute could give rise to prosecution of responsible individuals before the International Criminal Court. And we're actually under investigation for the tortures we committed in Afghanistan right now, where we're being investigated. Yes, yes, I heard that the ICC prosecutor had brought that up in the discussion for international human rights law. The enforcement mechanisms differ according to what type of violations, what kind of deprivations. One is in the case of war crimes or other types of international crimes, the International Criminal Court could be the venue for that. But another way, sort of, what you are trying to pursue here with establishing the subcommittee is to, you know, make public and put pressure on governments. And that's another way to ensure compliance. So can you tell us a little bit more about the composition and the work that the subcommittee will be doing? Well, the first thing we'll be doing is monitoring, keeping a very close eye on everything the administration does. And human rights is a very broad area of law. There are a lot of human rights that are set forth in various instruments that we have, and these include political rights. They include economic rights, social rights, cultural rights. The ones we have in the United States tend to focus more on political rights, but we're going to be monitoring them all. So whether it's the right to education, whether it's right to freedom of the press, freedom of speech, the right against torture, a human right established in many instruments, including a specific UN convention against torture. And by the way, that also extends, I just wanted to point this out, that also extends to any inhuman or degrading treatment. Outrages upon personal dignity, these kinds of things can be war crimes as well as crimes against humanity. And although torture is by far the worst, other forms of inhuman degrading treatment are also forbidden by international human rights law, and specifically the convention against torture, to which we are a party. Anyway, while we've been monitoring this and all the other human rights subjects and making sure that the administration complies, and if it doesn't, basically you're going to have a rapid reaction force of lawyers who will do a number of things. One is ensure that the public is made aware of the relevance of what the administration is proposing to do, what we're doing to our obligations under international human rights law. We'll be taking action through the courts, through international agencies like the UN Human Rights Committee, or the Inter-American Human Rights Commission, and we'll be putting pressure on the administration through Congress. And again, human rights, as you pointed out, Dr. Chang, is a nonpartisan issue. And most members of Congress care a lot about U.S. record of compliance with international human rights law, and so we will be able to act through Congress to ensure oversight and to ensure that any violation of human rights law results in swift and effective action, including impeachment and conviction, if necessary. I mean, maintaining a good record in terms of observing human rights law is very critical for a country that purports and would like to remain a leader in the world. Some of the persons being considered by President-elect Trump for his foreign policy positions have also kind of voiced, I think, some words that might raise concerns about human rights. So you're dealing with both domestic issues as far as, for example, repealing or overturning the Affordable Care Act to what his foreign policy team might be thinking as far as U.S. performance on that arena. That's right. I mean, it's very broad. Human rights is a broad area, and President-elect Trump has threatened to violate many different kinds of human rights. Human right to education, he has never said that he would deny people education, but it's a very important right, and his nomination right now is someone who may not fully implement the right to education in a nonpartisan way and with respect to all faiths and denominations. And that's, it's very important that people not be, for example, coerced into Christian education if they're not Christian and don't want one, and so forth. And so that's been a concern, and there's been a number of others. Most recently, you probably heard in the news that he tweeted that nobody should be allowed to burn an American flag, and citizenship were sent to a U.N. jail. I mean, they just keep coming out more and more. What are these then? That would violate, you know, not only the human rights to freedom of opinion and expression, which includes expression through acts, however deplorable you may find those acts, they're protected, speech, and for a very good reason. But also, there are human rights commitments, for example, not to deprive someone of nationality. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights provides an article 15. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality. And in the United States, jurisprudence, the Supreme Court has said that the government may not use deprivation of nationality as a weapon to express its displeasure at a citizen's conduct, as Tropidolis in 1958. So there's lots of potential violations that you keep coming out with, and some of them, like you said, are more implicit. It depends on who he nominates. For example, if he nominates someone for the Environmental Protection Agency, whose goal is to tear down the organization, there's a human right to a safe and healthy environment. Human beings can't survive without it. And if no one's protecting that environment, then we've got a problem. We've got a human rights problem, and that's got to be rectified. Yeah, certainly there are many human rights deprivations that could be suffered if we do not protect the environment, such as for health, clean water, many other issues associated with that. So, yeah, so all eyes have been looking at those he's been considering for these high offices. For one of the persons candidate for Secretary of State nomination also seemed to kind of veer away from maybe taking a critical stance on some of the human rights records of other countries that we're dealing with. Kind of, it seems that there's a little bit of discrepancy between how the U.S. has been regarding human rights records, for example, in Russia and what this representative has made statement of. Do you think the Trump administration, or do you think President-elect Trump, we were saying perhaps he's not as well informed about international affairs because he did reach out personally to the leader, the President of the Republic of China, for example. And it seems that he doesn't really appreciate kind of the kind of diplomatic faux pas that that represents. But do you think that this is sort of just a lack of maybe appreciation for how we have been, you know, taking in and internalizing human rights in the United States and our policymaking, or do you think it's willful disinterest in human rights as we have been trying to observe and protect? I can't read his mind. I know that this is not, I mean, he's got no experience in this area. It's not one of his core interests. His life has been trying to make money and make himself well known. That's what his core interests are. If you want to educate yourself about human rights, you've got to be interested in things like being a good person and what international law requires of us and being a leader in the international community. And that's something that almost every political candidate we've had for the presidential office has had very core to their interests and whether they have always been proponents of human rights, maybe not, but certainly they've never made statements they're hostile to the very idea of human rights. And as you said, I mean, some of the things that he said may not themselves violate or propose a violation of human rights, but they do indicate a very fundamental mentality of disrespect for equal human dignity. You can't say something like, you know, illegal immigrants from Mexico are rapists and killers and bad hombres and not vilify an entire class of people. Some people are very decent and law-abiding people otherwise. And it's just a bad sign. Yeah, so yeah, we'll see. A president-elect who hasn't had any experience in public office will see how well-educated he can get in this and other fields. So we'll take a short break here for a minute and you're watching Global Connections here with Grace Cheng and I'm joined by Aaron Thelmuth of Arizona State University Professor of Law and Music. St. Tech, Hawaii, Asia in reveal. I am Johnson Choi, the host. Looking forward to see you next month, December 15th, Thursday, 11, right here at this channel. Aloha. Okay, we want to tell you about Hawaii, the state of clean energy which plays every Wednesday from 4 to 4.30. Ray Starling and me, we co-host that show. Dean Nishina is here. He's from the Consumer Advocate. We just had a show. We liked the show. We had a good time on the show. What do you think, Ray? We're going to have Dean back because there's so much going on at the Consumer Advocate's office and there's so much yet to be done to get to our 100% renewable energy goals. What do you think, Dean? Did you have a good time? I did have a good time and I think this is a good opportunity for consumers to learn more because it'll be really helpful in terms of moving forward with our transition to clean energy. From your lips to God's ears. Thanks, Ray. Thanks, Dean. Watch us for 4 o'clock every Wednesday. You'll see. Aloha. Welcome back to Global Connections. I'm your host, Grace Chang, here with Aaron Felness, Professor of Law at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University. And we're talking about questions about human rights under our Trump presidency and prospects of how that might be observed or otherwise. Welcome back, Aaron. Thank you, Dr. John. Yeah, we were talking earlier about this question about, yeah, as far as being educated in how, well, what kind of obligations the state has when they are party to these kind of international law instruments. And as far as, you know, reviewing some of President Electrum's statements kind of shows that he personally maybe hasn't himself internalized this and is reflected in his own rhetoric. What are some of your particular concerns beyond what we might be hearing? Well, I think this goes back to, you know, a lot of our presidents and presidential candidates have been lawyers.  But the fact is that someone who's studied the law has spent a lot of time thinking about the rule of law and, you know, public order and how we structure things like solutions to social problems and things like justice and ethics. People, you know, frequently go into law being concerned with things like justice and ethics. And recently we've had a lot of businessmen running for office and they don't necessarily put a lot of thought into that. And so it could just be that that's his orientation, that he's just not thinking in those terms. He'll say stuff. He's a very off-the-cuff type of guy from what I can pick up from, I don't know personally, but from what I've seen is a very off-the-cuff type of guy and he'll say things that are just, you know, like a high school student might say, without knowing any better.  But in the meantime, he's saying a lot of things like, you know, like his tweets. He doesn't really put a lot of thought into these and he hasn't really gotten a background. But he'll, you know, for example, Sean Hannity asks him, you know, basically do you oppose the rights of homosexuals to marry? And he says, I'm a traditional family type of guy. And he's probably completely unaware. The Supreme Court has recently recognized the rights of same-sex couples to get married on equal terms. And again, back to human rights law, this is part of a very large trend in the international community to recognize that, you know, the rights to a family shouldn't depend on the sex of the person you love. That's just a huge, you know, if you're in law, you're very probably aware of it. But I don't think he is. And maybe he don't change his mind once he starts to realize that he's on the wrong side of history. But maybe he won't. Yeah, so yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, coming from a totally different industry, right, politicians generally have been coming from law, but Donald Trump from business. So as far as, yeah, his, you know, his statements, hopefully he's, you know, he seems to be riding this sort of populist wave, but we know human rights really need to stand above the politics as we were talking about. Would you have some closing statement you would like to make about what your subcommittee's been doing and some of the things that you think are important for the audience to take away? Well, I think all Americans have to recognize that in order to have a country we can be proud of, we have to have leadership we can be proud of. And a leader that we can be proud of is someone who is a good person, who's someone who pays close attention to the consequences of his conduct for other people. Because being a good person ultimately means self-sacrifice, putting other people's interests ahead of your own and they're more important than yours. And that's exactly what we should expect of a president. It's what we should expect of any politician, honestly, but foremost the one who stands out as a figurehead and is the most publicly eligible. We should expect especially that person to think in terms of what's good for everyone and not just what's good for him. And so we need to keep a very close eye on what he's doing and make sure that those tendencies of his, which are very strongly rooted in his character, don't dominate his administration and do to shut them down, to take action, to protest, to bring poor cases and that's what the subcommittee is here for. It's to help. But the public has got to be aware of these things too and it's got to basically act according to its conscience, including of course supporting politicians who oppose these measures. Very good. Thank you for discussing that initiative that you've undertaken in the International Law Association so we will all hopefully be keeping an eye out and speaking out in terms of the values of human rights that we want to uphold in the United States. Thank you so much for joining me today, Erin. Thank you for having me, Dr. Chang. All right, no worries. Okay, well, thank you all for tuning in today on Global Connections. I'm your host, Grace Chang. You can catch me here every Thursday at 1 p.m. Although, I didn't know I was still...


Nephrogenic syndrome of inappropriate antidioresis, NSIAD, is an X-link genetic condition caused by mutations in the AVPR2 gene. It leads to uvelemic hyponatremia despite low levels of arginine vasopressin, AVP, resulting in misdiagnosis as hyporenenemic hypoldosteronism, HH. Two cases are reported here, where the first infant was initially diagnosed with HH based on symptoms and laboratory results, but was later found to have NSIAD after further testing. The second infant was also diagnosed with HH, but was eventually identified as having NSIAD when further testing showed a mutation in the AVPR2 gene. Both infants were successfully treated for their hyponatremia with fluid restriction and avoidance of diuretics.

Unlike last week, it does seem like we do have a pretty obvious candidate at the top of the waiver pool heading into week number five Damien Williams stepping in for David Montgomery likely to miss some time for the Chicago bearer So we're talking about Damien Williams what to do with him in terms of your free agent budget and much more to get you Said for your week why week five waivers? This is the waiver wire Q&A right here on the Fandal YouTube twitch Facebook and Twitter channels My name is Jim Sonnis. I am a senior writer and analyst for numberfire.com joined here as always by JJ Zachary sin He is the editor-in-chief of number fire and fan duel JJ. Happy week number five to you. How you doing today? I'm good. I'm good ready to talk some waiver wire I think we have some interesting candidates this week I think you know even beyond the waiver wire if anyone checked out the 15 transactions column or podcast this week There's a lot of interesting buy and low buy low sell high type candidates this week, too Yeah, I think that there are some receivers who are bound for some really fun games in the coming weeks We'll probably get to them at some point in the show for today as always no matter where you are watching You can get your questions in via Facebook YouTube Twitch or Twitter no matter where you're watching put the questions in the comments We'll get to them live here on the show, but let's start things off with that Damien Williams discussion talking to Daniel on YouTube He's asking how much we do from a free agent budget perspective for Damien Williams. He's talking about a dynasty So that may change things here first of all JJ I want to get your thoughts on Williams for redraft in terms of the free agent budget and then we'll get to to Daniel Talking about a dynasty situation where Williams is available. Yeah, so You know, let's just look at this situation in general Dave Montgomery. He's been seeing, you know, roughly 88 89 90 percent of the team's running back rushes You know, if you don't count, you know, obviously didn't like play the full game this past week But you know, he's been up there in terms of running back rush share It's one of the top one of the highest numbers in the league over the last two weeks Entering this past action of part of this this past or maybe was entering this past week His target share was up there and like the 14 to 17 percent range I mean, he was he was seeing workhorse numbers David Montgomery was and so with that gone and out of the offense Even if Damien Williams were to see 80 percent of that workload, you know He has an opportunity to be a low-end RB to with that kind of workload But but with the exact same workload as Dave Montgomery has a chance to just be an RB to flat out And so yeah, he should be heavily prioritized off the waiver wire this week You know, we run into this issue every single week when we talk about free agent budget You know, if you're in a shallower league You don't have to spend as much because the waiver wire is a little bit more fruitful than if you're in a 14 16 team league Where you know that the players in the waiver wire aren't very good And if Damien Williams is out there, you're gonna have to spend more to get those put to get that player Not only that, but you have more league mates you're competing against in order to get that guy And so the way that I would say, you know, if we're looking at like a 12 team league Redraft league not dynasty dynasty, you're gonna want to go pretty pretty hard for guy like Damien Williams I would say I'm surprised that he's not rostered in a dynasty league You know, you're gonna want to go pretty hard for Damien Williams because dynasty leagues are usually deeper But in a in a 12 team redraft league, I'm thinking this week with Damien Williams is between You know, if you're really desperate like if you really need running back help I wouldn't I wouldn't be upset or Question you if you went into like the 60 70% range if you really need that help But if you don't and you're just looking for a guy that you would have in the bench Maybe throw in your flex. I think 40 to 50 is probably the right range for Damien Williams this week I think the good thing with him is I feel better about his role in this offense I did about Chewba Hubbard's last week with the Panthers and I felt fine about Chewba Hubbard's But the good thing is we are pretty sure that Damien will get work in this offense because he was getting work When Montgomery was healthy and he's gonna get the kind of work that we want. We can expect Damien Williams to get past catching work I know people bring up 30 Cohen But Cohen is not healthy and he's always will come off pop out in week seven But like will he be ready then even I don't know so I feel pretty good about Williams after Montgomery got hurt on Sunday Williams got the first six carries. He got hurt then he got banged up But he's fine. It sounds like so it was it was the first six carries before Williams got hurt and then Herbert came in So I feel pretty good about projecting Williams have a pretty steady role. So they being aggressive there does make sense Daniel is also asking about The streaming defenses for this week sounds like the Vikings are a team that you like JJ options here Vikings Vegas against the Bears. We got Arizona against the 49ers and Atlanta against the Jets. Who do you prefer between those four? You know, it's funny We are recording my podcast living the stream later today or in this evening And those are the four defenses But I think the Vikings are the best options still of that group I think that you can make an argument for both Vegas and Arizona the only reason I say Maybe not Atlanta's because there's not very good defensively But the Vikings defense, you know, they can definitely be thrown on but They're still getting to the quarterback and their their pass rush has not been that bad They're top 10 in pressure rate They're top five and sacrate this year and they're facing a Detroit team that you know, hopefully would be in a negative game script because Minnesota's a seven and a half point favorite a Detroit team that's been bottom half in the league In sacks allowed and saccharate allowed So I think the Vikings are at least set there to have a pretty good floor And then obviously from a ceiling perspective what we look for from a ceiling standpoint with defenses is I mean It's you really kind of are projecting that floor more than anything else because the ceiling really comes from variance And it comes from you know, did this ball tip this way? Did they get a pick six or something like that? But I do like the Vikings quite a bit this week. Yeah, that's right. It's seven and a half I've got a 10.7 based on my number. So potentially even better than it may seem on paper Joseph is asking Hey JJ, what are your thoughts on Shrey Lance this week and him and Justin Fields rest of the way? I also got a question from Nate asking would you drop fields for Lance? So We don't know if either guy will start this weekend Something Garoppolo actually has a chance to play any Dalton, of course as the team starter as we must be reminded every five minutes What are your thoughts on? Lance in general and then Lance versus Fields going forward. Yeah, so I mean, I'm definitely not as high on Justin Fields as I was at the beginning of the season because we now have a sample size of how they're utilizing him How they're not, you know, he's not escaping the pocket as much as we would like all of that And you know, Trey Lance stepping in for Jimmy Garoppolo this past week There's some like flashbacks of when Justin Fields stepped in for any Dalton and Fields ran the ball like 10 times in two and a half quarters and we're all excited because You know, maybe we're gonna see that kind of rushing production From the quarterback moving forward and then we just haven't from Justin Fields So you have that in the back of your mind when it comes to Trey Lance is that yeah, he ran the ball seven times Yeah, he had 41 yards on the ground. Yeah, he's very electric with the ball You know, I I thought entering the league that he was going to be more of a prolific rusher I think you did as well then Justin Fields it because the arm was there for Justin Fields it was a little bit more mature whereas Trey Lance was more of a raw prospect and You know, given that then we could see him just tuck and run a little bit more often Then what was to see what Justin Fields? And I also trust Kyle Shanahan utilizing the strengths of his quarterback as opposed to Matt Nagy in that and Bill Laser Etc utilizing Justin Fields and then obviously the weapons are there for Trey Lance and I mean the offensive lines I mean the offensive line is a disaster for Chicago. It has been the season and it's not as bad in San Francisco And so, you know, you have a lot of positives to look out with Trey Lance I would prefer Trey Lance over Justin Fields the rest of season and I think at this point You know, if you're in a single quarterback league You can probably drop Justin Fields for Trey Lance because we kind of know what Justin Fields is providing us and look I'm not saying that like this is what Justin Fields is and he's not going to be any better from a fantasy standpoint moving forward You know, a lot of what is going on in Chicago is that they're scoring touchdowns a lot on the ground versus via the air and that's gonna regress at some point, right? But but at the same time, you know, we got to give him some time We can't just assume that he's gonna be a beast like we might have thought entering the season and let's just go with the upside in the situation And what we thought going into the season that Trey Lance had the higher ceiling than Justin Fields Right and I think with Lance a lot of people point to the preseason numbers I think he ran like one time But like it's important remember that like that's the preseason They probably did not want him to get hurt and it's a smart coaching staff I don't think that the game plan there was similar to what we'd expect here So if worried about rushing for for Lance based on preseason, I would be okay downplaying those concerns Let's talk to Busta. Would you prioritize Darnell Mooney or Kaderius Tony at wide receiver Mooney got some moon shots Kind of looking like maybe the Bears wide receiver one Tony had a good role this past week, but may has truly shepherden Darius Satan back at some point soon So who do you prefer between those two guys? I think you you have to go with Mooney In this scenario and look I didn't I didn't love Kaderius Tony as a prospect I thought that that the fantasy community kind of trashed him too much and took it too far You know the way that my model viewed him It wasn't like the same way my model viewed like Van Jefferson who also is looking good But or like a Henry rugs is probably a better example where rugs really did not look good in my prospect model But Kaderius Tony while he had a negative stat score that I call It's just a composite of looking at all these different metrics that I'm looking at in my model It wasn't so it wasn't nearly as bad as like a Henry rug So I think that the way people looked at Kaderius Tony He was still like a 90th percentile wide receiver in my model partially because of the draft capital But I just think it was it's been a little bit unfair in the way that people have viewed him We know that we know that he has that draft capital and we know that he's an insanely athletic, right? In the way that they utilized in this past week. He played 58% of his snaps from the slot You know, he was able to do I mean they they utilized him in a pretty smart way get the ball in his hands But he also had someone of a diverse routry. I mean he showed I mean he had a pretty good game against New Orleans And so, you know what I prefer Tony over Mooney probably not because I'm afraid of what happens with both Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard are back if we and think of it this way There's there of those two wide receivers one of them matters more to Kaderius Tony than the other the one that matters more is Sterling Shepard because Sterling Shepard plays a slot and he's a very very good slot receiver He's one of the best slot receivers in the league and so that's not gonna allow Kaderius Tony to be on the field as much And you have to assume that as long as the Giants are at least in the playoff hunt like not statistically eliminated They're not just gonna play Kaderius Tony over Sterling Shepard So, you know the peripherals to Darnell Mooney has a 26% target share this season Kaderius Tony had a 25% share this past week with everything working in his favor So, yeah, I know that this is a long-winded answer. I'm gonna go with with Darnell Mooney fairly easily here I just want to throw some thoughts out there about Kaderius Tony. Yeah competition for targets for Darnell Mooney is Alan Robinson and then Like they just traded for Joaquin Grant. I guess like it's a it's a steep fall off after that like Cole Komet Sure, but the competition they're much lower, which is good for him But I think that like you said Tony interesting for sure. Just don't expect that role to stick when Shepard is back Let's talk to Matt. He's in a rough spot at running back. Would you trade Joe Mixon for Darrell Henderson? This is very much a I need something now Type of situation, but also Darrell Henderson is not bad JJ We don't like these like one for one at the same position trades But I think this might be different given the timeline on Nixon. So what's your thoughts on this one? Yeah, I honestly even if Joe Mixon were completely healthy right now If if we if we knew that Joe Mixon was absolutely gonna play in week five, which is in question You know Zack Taylor came out and said that that it might not be that bad It's more day-to-day than week-to-week and I know that other doctors You know, Dr. Chow said that it's probably more week-to-week. So we'll see how it all how it all shapes up I'm still going Darrell Henderson over Joe Mixon and Let's just think of it this way if you look at their peripherals right now and the way that the Rams are utilizing Henderson Maybe Joe Mixon is gonna have a little bit higher of a running back rush share within his offense versus Darrell Henderson But Darrell Henderson has had a better target share in the majority of his games played this year And it's in a better offense a better offensive line. They have a better just offense. The offense is gonna score more It's gonna be better in general And and we know that both guys, you know, basically like the peripherals and the way that they utilize these guys like Close to the end zone and such. They're fairly similar between the two and so use the tiebreaker of who's in the better situation And that better situation is easily Darrell Henderson and then not only that I wrote this up in my 15 transactions column talked about on the podcast Darrell Henderson in the Rams offense have an unbelievably favorable schedule for running backs If you look at the next 11 weeks only three of their opponents are below average and adjusted fantasy points allowed And if you look at what happens through the rest of the season only two teams Houston and Jacksonville Have more favorable running back schedules than the Rams do and and now look that's gonna change with more data You know because that's all adjusted based on how opponents are playing one another etc, etc That's gonna change But I think that it's still something that's another thing that favors Darrell Henderson is that this schedule looks really really good So yeah, I mean, I just think that Henderson's a smash by this week because Given this question and just given the way that people are talking about Henderson and viewing him I think people view him as like this like fine enough RB two, but he's legitimately a fringe RB one You know Jim you and I were talking before the show about guys that we would rather Roster than Darrell Henderson. I got to five names and it got real tough. Yeah, you get to like you get to in look I think that you can make the argument for a lot of guys, right? Like a like I think that where the line starts to be drawn is like when you get to like the Jonathan Taylor CEH kind of guys where you know, they're not seeing as much work through the errors We would like and you know, Jonathan Taylor's case. He's a little bit game script dependent CEH's case He's not seeing all the goal line work Darrell Henderson seeing that stuff Like he's he's getting that work and he's in a better offense and you know You have to adjust your your priors and the way that you felt entering a season with some of these guys And it's not like Darrell Henderson was this horrific prospect coming out either It's not like he's been this bad running back and so I think that you know for a lot of those guys I would rather have a Darrell Henderson I think that that the hardest one is probably like a Najee Harris because the the offense is not good But he's getting so much work and he's good You know, I would probably still prefer Najee, but that's what we're talking about here with Darrell Henderson He's a low-end RB one. I think from here on out Yeah I was concerned with Henderson going into week four because I was like, okay, you know We got hurt again. That was their concern with him overall They were putting him in bubble wrap during the preseason then they ran him out there for an 89% snap rate in a game Where they were down by three scores. Yeah, so pretty sure they're all in so we should be as well Let's talk to Mark. Thoughts on Latavius Murray led the Ravens and snaps this past week Levy on Bell played about 27% of the snaps Murray no targets though, but they get some good rushing work What are your thoughts on Latavius and this Baltimore offense? I mean This backfield man. It's it's frustrating I think that of the guys like like, you know, if you were to ask me Which which running back in this backfield would you want to roster after week three? I would have easily said Tyson Williams Because not only what did he you know, I know that he didn't really perform against Detroit They didn't really give him the ball, but he still played half the snaps And he also he's also been the most effective runner when you're looking at things like, you know yards over expectation and stuff He's just been the best running back in that backfield Which is why it was so shocking that they made him an active this past week I I almost have been wishing that there's like a story behind it and that there's more to it But I haven't seen anything, you know around that because I think he's been the best running back in that backfield Given what we saw this past week I guess Latavius Murray is that guy that you would want in the backfield, you know He's the one who's consistently been playing an active But is there a running back in this backfield that I'm going to want to trust as an RB two or a weekly starter in my lineup? No, I just I don't think it's gonna be that worthwhile especially given the tendencies of the way this team operates and we know that they're just not gonna target their running Backs that much out of the backfield I think one thing to keep in mind with Latavius too is that this this rotation is still evolving Because the running game has not been very good outside of Lamar for this team. That's not usual for them So I think they're gonna keep on trying things see what works I'd expect Levy on bell to get a crack at at some point. It's still it's still evolving and maybe we should keep that Mindful tape is it's not set in stone by any means It's not to John is streaming quarterbacks because Ryan Tannehill has lost everyone Would you use Daniel Jones in the interim or Derek Carr in that time? So Danny Danny Dimes gets Dallas this week, right Derek Carr. Who's Vegas getting in? Look at the Bears the Bears, that's right You know, I think Danny Dimes is probably the play of those two Ryan Tannehill though if he gets even one of the guys back Going up against Jacksonville this week. I think is in a is in a pretty good spot Just given that Tennessee's defense has not been very strong whatsoever I think that Jacksonville is a team that could still move the ball against Tennessee As we saw the jet I mean the jets were able to move the ball against Tennessee when you give the Jets offense context the fact that they Haven't been able to do that Really this season So if Tannehill gets one or both of those weapons back, I'm not totally optimistic just because of the way that You know those injuries linger slash The way they've kind of utilized Julio Jones this year how he's not been like this like clear clear full-time player and stuff I mean, you just have to wait and see So I try to still keep Tannehill rostered because of that because he does have a good matchup this week But I think I want to go Daniel Jones over Derek Carr Daniel Jones is playing well like I'm not a big Daniel Jones guy, but he's playing well I mean the way he played without shepherd and slate in this past week was good. So I'm uh, I'm coming around slowly He's earning the Danny Dimes nickname. So that's how far we come here Dr. Joseph talking about Tyler Lockett. Obviously he's banged up a couple down games But the production for Lockett the first two weeks was sickly So what's your level of concern on Tyler Lockett right now given a couple of down games I've seen a lot of takes out there of It's gone from victory lapping Tyler Lockett to then now a lot of people saying Oh, I thought Tyler lock. I thought inconsistency didn't matter and then it wasn't no I mean, it's a thing inconsistency is a thing It's just that we overrate what inconsistency means for our fantasy teams, right? So no one no one should be debating what like if you look at Tyler Lockett's history And you do some calculations using like the coefficient of of correlation or variation or something You can see that Tyler Lockett is indeed a an inconsistent fantasy asset But the argument is that it doesn't really matter because you're getting spiked weeks And those are just as important as you know a middle of the road kind of performance So with Tyler Lockett the other thing too is if you look back at his splits last year and really throughout his recent career His splits have been worse when he's been injured Um, and I you know, there's some guys where injuries just matter a little bit more than others And I wouldn't be surprised if that's playing somewhat of a role here With Tyler Lockett. So I mean is he a sell? No, I don't think he's I just don't think that you can sell him You know just given how he's performed over the last couple of weeks But is he a buy probably not, you know because of the injury and because He has performed this way, but he's fine.  I wouldn't be so overly concerned about these two Fairly mediocre performances. Yeah, I mean still had five targets the past week Still had a deep target there and that was a hyper positive script They've just had weird situations where they haven't gotten an alignment where They had a situation where they actually had to throw the entire game and they were in the right script So I think that like it's been a weird year for Seattle I think the dk neck app is about to explode Um, and this might not be the week for lock given the way they're using Jalen Ramsey, but overall I think It could get better especially because they have kind of an extended buy after this thursday game The other thing with Tyler Lockett is like, yes, he's going to live and die by the deep ball more than other wide receivers will And the first two weeks of the season he was Out of control effective on deep ball on deep passes I mean it was just out He had like 250 yards and three touchdowns on 15 plus area throws through the first two weeks of the season That's not going to maintain. It's not going to keep up But then we can't assume that that's never going to happen again Right. So there's a balance here, right? Like it like we shouldn't expect the first two weeks We shouldn't expect the last two weeks. There's something more middle of the row with Tyler Lockett Absolutely. Let's go to Chris here on youtube. What do you think of Khalil Herbert? Herbert came in After the david mcgummery injury kind of ambiguous backfield to an extent Um, what what do you thoughts on Khalil Herbert? I'm assuming this is a redraft here Yeah, I mean, I don't mind him as a dart for sure You know, I I'm looking at my prospect model a little bit right now and seeing him Uh, within the three main production metrics that I look at and the one that's the most predictive is is best season yards per team play for running max And he was pretty pretty decently above average within that statistic, which is good Uh draft capital wasn't super super strong, but you know, he has the right bmi He has the right body type to be a potential workhorse in the league Um, do I think that he's going to step in and see Uh, I think he's going to play a damien williams type role when damien williams is going to play the david mcgummery type role That's that's how I think this is going to really kind of pan out and work out So really, you know at this point, I think Herbert You know, if you have the space he's the right kind of like end of bench stash to just have in case You know, sort of like rois freeman last week where where like maybe something happened You know, maybe they split the backfield more than we think or maybe rois freeman's just the guy instead of chuba hubbard But we all know that the likely scenario is that it's going to be chuba hubbard We likely know that the the scenario is going to be damien harris being the 1a and the the guy that you want in this Offense, so, you know, if you have the space go ahead and pick him up I don't think he's a bad prospect. I draft him in a decent amount of rookie drafts this year Um, but yeah, I you know, if you have the space go ahead and do it I think the bears are shown to say like damien williams, which does matter here B doves, would you pick up shepard shinalt or rugs? So shepard is still banged up, but he's had a good role when he's been healthy shinalt's got a deep ball actually two deep football targets in week number four after the dj shark injury Henry rugs getting deep balls too. So these aren't bad options. Probably all rostribal What would you think about these three guys? It's interesting, uh, I you know the the name that's sticking out to me as the most interesting is leviska shinalt because of the dj shark injury and Not knowing if they're going to change his role a little bit like you said, you know, he saw more air yards this past week It's good to see him get down the field And he look like the crazy thing is that he did that in college Like leviska shinalt was able to do those kinds of things in college They just haven't utilized in that way in the nfl because he has a really good yards after the catchability I think the safest option here if you remove injury is sterling shepherd Because I think he's probably going to maintain like a 20 to 25 target share in his offense Like I said, he plays a slot like he's sterling shepherd is so good and so underrated So if he's healthy and you know, if you can if you don't need immediate production because You know, I don't know if he's going to play this week or not If you don't need immediate production, then I would say stash shepherd But if you do need immediate production, I might I might risk it with leviska shinalt Plus they get a good matchup this week against tennessee So I I think it might be a little bit interesting to to go that route as opposed to the Henry rugs route Yeah, they're all rosteble But I think that that's probably the right way to order and view things for sure. Let's talk to rissan I think any of the waiver wire quarterbacks have quarterback one sustainability the rest of the way He's thinking about or they're thinking about stashing sand darnold darnold. Is he still the leak leader in touchdowns? He might be anyway What do you think about the waiver wire guys that you've talked about so far? Do you think any of them are guys who could at the upside to be holdable and startable the rest of the way? Yeah, I mean two of them would probably I mean trailance could you know if things break his way It would not be shocking if if trailance is a qb1 from here on out and then uh, yeah, sam darnold being the other one He you know, there's there's a lot of chatter about the rushing touchdown sustainability, which is not sustainable He has five rushing touchdowns in four games. He's not going to finish the season You know, he likely is not going to finish the season with double 25 rushing touchdowns I don't know you never know Exactly. So like like it's it's it's it's not going to happen But here's the thing in the way that we should view those kinds of statistics is that I think a lot of people say oh regression You know, he's not going to be very good moving forward Well, when a player scores a rushing touchdown that means he's not throwing for a touchdown So if you look at sam darnold's numbers, he has a 3.4 percent touchdown rate right now, which is very very low That's a that's a I mean he given his weapons and situations and he should probably be closer to five percent And so, you know, if if those rushing touchdowns do disappear, which they likely will Sure, some of them are going to go to the running backs, whatever But he's also going to throw for more touchdowns And I know that that's not as attractive in fantasy because it's four points versus six points But he's still going to be fine. He's still going to be good He's going to regress favorably in the passing touchdown department I think darnold is a fairly legit option in fantasy moving forward Is he going to be a top five option? Probably not Is he going to be like a top 12 to 15 or even higher like a little bit higher? Yeah, I think that that's very viable given the weapons that are there Yeah, he's played well and like that matters a lot So I think with those weapons that they've got I think that he's definitely worth a shot at least if nothing else Let's talk to pat Should we sell high and jamar chase? Chase has been very good But to higgins may be coming back at some points Would you sell high now on chase or just keep that production and keep riding? Sure. I mean you can I I just you know, I don't know What the return necessarily would look like for jamar chase right now? I think the time to sell him might have been last week, you know While he was riding those those consecutive games with touchdowns Um, but I think that the way we should view chase is probably a wide receiver too from here on out You know, I I the the bangles are not throwing as much as we thought that they would Um, but jo burrow looks very very good. Um, you know, and and the the offense in general is has performed fairly well there's you know the the downside or the Um, you know, you might not see as much or as hefty of a target share when t higgins comes back But you know at the same time, they don't really utilize their tight ends that much They're not utilizing joe mixing that much out of the backfielder as much as we would want Um, and so there's room for all three of those guys to to eat and see a decent share And not only that keep my tyler boyd has seen An inflated target share over the last few weeks Like he was a borderline sell for me in the 15 transactions column this week because he's had favorable match up Matchups against chicago and pittsburgh who aren't good against the slot And then t higgins gets hurt. So obviously he's going to see more work So i'm more worried about tyler boyd than I would be jamar chase right now I think jamar chase is I mean he's a 99th percentile prospect of my model. He's a beast He's good He's at least going to be a wide receiver two from here on out And I don't think that you could sell him as a true wide receiver one and get like a staphon digs or something in return And it's important to know too in the first two games with t higgins healthy jamar chase had 20 percent of the overall targets and 71 percent of the deep targets So they were going deep to him still it was uh three and two it was a small sample But hey, you know, they were still throwing it to t higgins or to jamar chase plenty. So t higgins being back will not Kill jamar chase. Let's talk to gerard How much are you laying out there in terms of free agent budget for samaj p ryan? My broken brain thought le michael for a second then later realized that's not him So samaj p ryan with the with the joe mix and injury. Are you actually laying down? Free agent budget for samaj p ryan and would you take a look at alex collins? I mean you can take a look at them. It's it's really, you know, I would say more of a handcuff situation for for collins, but um with p ryan It just comes down to whether or not joe mixon is going to play this week Like I said, you know doctors are saying Uh that it sounds like mixon is more week to week, but zack taylor thinks it's more day to day I would say count on joe mixon missing this week And as a result of that maybe lay five percent of your budget on p ryan With collins, I think it's more so he kills chris karson than he actually has. Yeah, exactly I think that's the bigger thing there. Uh, jeffette is looking to trade darin waller for diante johnson daryl henderson I would say yes. Yeah, let's do this. Kelsey. Let's go do it. Go do it right now. Go Okay, let's go to john is max williams in a similar situation to dawson knocks Ted in a high powered offense warranty rostering williams has actually shown some yardage upside The past couple of weeks he's had I think like 90 and then something in the like 60s in this past week So what do you thought some max williams right now? We're seeing a little bit more consistency in target share and it's not like it like dawson knocks is not seeing this like insane target share But he's seeing like consistently a 10 plus share each week And he's also seeing a little bit more work in the red zone and close to the end zone and in the end zone He has end zone targets as well I mean, he's like let's just call it max williams is a diet dawson knocks. That's probably the best way to look at Yeah, probably uh, let's talk to brad uh better add damian williams or jd mckissick so mckissick probably has like Rest of season appeal whereas williams may be muted more like four or five weeks That's enough to tilt the ceo's in favor of mckissick there. Are you still going williams? I'm still going williams here. You're gonna need a certain game script for mckissick or or obviously An Antonio gives an injury Okay, um, let's go down here to gerard. How worried should it be about alan robinson? Can you rebound or is it just situation where? Things are pretty gross at this point. It's gross. It's really gross I mean, he's at least he has a 24 target share But darnell mooney has better peripherals and better production so far this year I just you know, I do think that if you want to look at it from a half glass full perspective The bears are going to start throwing there for their touchdowns more than running because they have a really really low Pastor rush touchdown ratio that generally regresses But i'm just not optimistic in the bears offense in general their defense is playing fine So they can probably be a fairly conservative offense. Um, and yeah, I mean, that's just that's where we're at I just I think we're gonna get like wide receiver Three at best numbers from alan robinson this year. Yeah, it's uh, pretty rough for sure. I'll talk to terry Um, should you drop taylor heineke or matt ryan for trail lance this week? Why not drop both? um But I would you drop one of those guys for trail lance? I'd assume. Yeah, I'd drop either of them. Yeah I would drop matt ryan for nothing at this point And then which side end do you want between dalton schultz and dos and knocks dalton schultz Massive target share without michael gallop. Uh, what are your thoughts here? Yeah, uh dalton schultz is is the dude right now I think that even when gallop is back schultz is probably a tight end one in fantasy. Um, It's awesome, you know, his target shares have been massive the last couple of weeks And the the key the key thing this past week is that it was the first week that we saw a real clear separation and routes run between Blake jarwin and dalton schultz and you know over the first three weeks this season We saw week three dalton schultz have a nice have a better target share than than Blake jarwin But they were running similar routes still like they were still on the field and getting similar usage from that perspective This past week. We finally saw dalton schultz run You know, basically more than more than double the amount of routes is Blake jarwin Which tells me that dalus is finally like, okay He's the better tight end. We need to get him the ball And they're doing so efficiently, which is great. Yeah, uh, two more quick here grim fan. Should I pick up john ross? john ross of the long touchdown I'm gonna try to sell it. Nope. All right jackie moon, uh, would you drop brian edwards? Right now from the raiders. Sure. Yeah, I think so. I would rather have like a hunter ren fro on that team than edwards Alrighty that is gonna do it for this waiver wire q&a heading into week number five should be a fun one I think some good options for this week as well JJ big.
