It's the second day of the five-day warning strike, called by organized labour, to protest against the mass sacking of workers by the Kaduna state government. The state was grounded yesterday as the strike began, but Gov. Nassu Erufei said the government would neither retreat nor concede to any thoughtless and corrupt political hack. The striking workers are set to go out on the streets again today. Let's talk to the vice-chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress in Kaduna state, Mr Efrem Jonah. Good morning, thanks for joining us. Good morning, thank you. Yes, we also have with us a barrister, Francis Danlady Kozak. Good morning. Good morning, how are you? Fine, thank you. So, Mr Jonah, let's begin with you. Good morning. Yes. So, the NOC basically is protesting in Kaduna state over some workers that will disengage from service. But what we're hearing from the Kaduna state Gov. Nassu Erufei is that some of them failed competency tests, some of them didn't have the requirements, and he also mentioned that they had to be laid off or were right-sized because the payment of salaries of workers in Kaduna state was taking over 80% of the revenue in Kaduna. What do you think about these reasons? Are they justifiable? Well, there are two things brought up now. You are talking about people didn't have competency tests. I'm also talking about the wage bills of the Kaduna state government. These are two issues. But I know for once that all the issues that are being brought up now, they were just a little bit, excuse me. When Erufei came on board as a governor of Kaduna state, he had shown himself to be anti-level. And his presidents would tell you that even when he was in Abuja, you could see what he did. So it is not that the wage bill and it's not about... In fact, there was a time he even said that the salary is not what he came to do and that he can't be using the money to repay his salary. But the question we kept asking him is who generated this money that you are 15 on it. And it's all about the public education and it's all about tests. Somebody will go for 30 years, for 25 years and you are not bringing about competency, you are not bringing about tests, I can't understand. So these are all serious issues that are bringing up on board, but we remain resolute. And in fact, in most cases we are not even saying that he should not, but the rule of the law was come to play. There are conditions of engagement. You are engaging me, there are things you agree upon.  And if at any time you feel you don't need my services, you follow the condition of service that we signed it at the beginning. Okay, I want to bring in Barrister Francis Dan Ladi-Cosa with the perspective where he says that the amount of money used for paying salaries every month is way more than 70%. Do you think that's a good enough reason to want to downsize the workforce in Cardona state and focus strictly on those people who are entirely beneficial to the state and to the state's economy? Well, thank you very much. First of all, as an employer, the ability to pay your employee is very paramount. Even in private sector, there are times when situations are difficult that workers are unfortunately left off. Not to talk about government and other issues. The ability to pay is very, very important. It's very paramount to every employee and employer. Now, if the government is saying that we cannot be able to pay, of course, do you expect them to keep keeping people without payment? That is an issue. And then the second issue we want to address is that yes, every employer has the right to engage and to disengage. There's no doubt about it. The law is very clear on those issues. You can engage and engage. Yes, you engage based on the condition of service. And everybody that has been engaged or disengaged and feels that it is unjust has the cost to challenge the disengagement. If it is illegal, if it is not well grounded, no. So the costs are there. That everybody who feels aggrieved can vindicate his grievances. Now, this third thing is old-fashioned. Old-fashioned, they say that you are punishing people who ordinarily are not involved in your crisis because of me. Look at the poor masses. Those who go about their daily... They have been punished for this. They are out of electricity. A lot of people depend on electricity for their business. They have no say in the circle of workers. And they are suffering. They went and closed and shut up hospitals where the poor goes to attend to pay their medical attention. They close those hospitals and the poor are lavishing in bans and longer. They have been punished. My crisis, my grievances have been affected on the poor masses. And I think that is an issue that nurses should look at. If you have any grievances, then deal with the person or the authorities that have the grievances. Look at people. So you don't agree with the NLC's approach? So what you're saying is that you don't agree with the approach of... Go ahead, please. Yes, it's out-fashioned. The NLC approach is out-fashioned. You can't just punish somebody who is not part of your dispute. That's the truth about it. And that is what the NLC is doing here. And today, of course, in Cardinal yesterday, a lot of workers went back to work in their offices. I'm telling you, they went to the offices and they just went to work. Some of them are on their decks now doing their work. The Executive Council of the State held yesterday successfully. And nobody stopped it. So it happened yesterday. So the ordinary people have been made to suffer unnecessarily. And I feel NLC should look at the situations of amnesia. Dialogue is very important in every dispute resolution. Dialogue is very important.  Now, if you are saying that you have sucked thousands of dollars, you must have given the FIGO. Governments say nobody has agreed on the FIGO. NLC is... You are saying they have not been paid. Governments are saying they have been paid. Others are saying they have not been paid. So what is it? These issues can only be solved through dialogue. All right. All right, hold on, Mr. Barrister Francis. Mr. Iifrem Jonah, I want to bring you in here. Can you hear me? All right. So the Barrister here is saying that the method through which NLC is trying to get the government to do what they want is old-fashioned and that you can either seek recourse through the court of law or dialogue with the government. Are these options you might want to consider rather than protesting on the streets? Well, the Barrister is talking as a legal person. And would you see when we... He has mentioned a point that is very clear. The employer has the right to fire and to hire. No doubt about it. But that the condition at which you have said your engagement must be obeyed. And you are talking about going to court. Which court? How many... How many judgments have been passed in Kaduna State that have not been respected? And you are talking about court. Who will say court in Kaduna State? And when you talk that people are so... We have subjected people to hardship and so on. The people are already dying. People are dying because of the policies of the government. So it's not about suffering. People have suffered and they are still suffering. Okay. People that you say they live daily on the... They live on the daily wages or whatever transaction they make. The issue is this in Kaduna State. There is nowhere you can see people selling and buying along the road. You cannot see. They have destroyed all the business. The people that you sell. You didn't pay them. And the parts are there. It's not that we are forging. We are civil. And we know what we talk with parts of people. I'm not going to talk in any house. Mr. Jonah, if you are saying... Mr. Jonah. Mr. Jonah. Yes, I can hear you. Excuse me. If you are saying that you don't have faith in the judicial system in Kaduna State because that will yield no fruit.  No, let me tell you one thing. Erufai has been so arrogant. He doesn't sit with the union. He has never in... Since he came on board. This is his fifth year, I suppose, that he came on board. He has never... We have written him later. At the time he was elected. We sent him a congratulated message. He never responded. No later has been followed by this government. And at the time, if issues come up, is the head of service or just call people and just give them instruction and give them information. And everybody goes. And then when the union... When the union says no, we need to solve. They have never respected the union in any little way, Kaduna.  Because this man we are dealing with is... He feels that he's on top of... Nobody knows anything like him. He feels the effort in every field. So he doesn't have anything he likes to do. And in Nigeria, the last option is to do what we are doing. That's the last option. Yesterday, the commissioner of police called us. He called us and we were together with him. And he showed he was not comfortable if we go on protest. We told him, well, the issue is that he wasn't going to organize government to sit down with labor and support.  Only for them to be issuing trade and intimidation. And it's not fair. And that's why we are doing this. If there are people who can talk to everybody as the governor of Kaduna said, they should call him to order. This thing that we are doing, you know sometimes you must suffer before you enjoy. So we are appealing to even the citizens of Kaduna to be patient with us. But at the end of this, they are going to get whatever they are entitled to. Alright, I want to bring back, so Francis, with regards to your point on going to court. Thank you very much. Yeah, I want you to speak once again on the point you made with regards to going to court instead of going on strike. Do you think that maybe the Jusun workers also shouldn't be on strike and they should have approached the court instead? The point I'm making is if there is any dispute between the courts or agencies, NLC, government, anybody, everybody has the course to law. And what do the courts do to vindicate his crisis there? Look, it's unfortunate that somebody will tell me that he does not respect the courts, the judiciary. The judiciary is the last hope of the ordinary man. If pronouncements are made in the judiciary, they become enforceable. There are processes of enforcing decisions of court. And therefore, if NLC has caught and gotten a judgment, the government is bound to obey. And if the government refused to obey, there are machinery for enforcement of judgment that can be explored. So it's no excuse for you to say that the judiciary is strong and is vibrant. I am a legal practitioner. I practice law. And I know that the judiciary is vibrant. And not just men. I know judgment for government. And so forth. I cannot tell you that the judiciary is not vibrant. The judiciary is very, very vibrant. Secondly, you cannot tell me that the current state government does not dialogue. Just yesterday, the TUC dialogue with the government. The way in the dialogue with the head of service. The head of service. Prior to the strike. Yeah. Mr. Dan Ladi. Mr. Dan Ladi, prior to the events of yesterday, was there any dialogue? Was there any conversation that was had between the TUC organized labor and the Cardinal State government? Didn't it build up to yesterday's events? I don't know. I don't know. The reason that there is dialogue is because of the protests. Yeah, what I'm asking is, isn't it possible that the reason there is dialogue is because of the events of yesterday and the protests already taking place? No. Certainly not. Because I know as a fact that once you go to government, the relevant agencies and tell them that look, I want to discuss this issue. No, discuss. The head of service is the chief of the Cardinal State. And he's the chief of the government. So he has a problem as the guys' workers. She's the first one of course.  Whatever you agree with her, she will take it up with the government. And the issues will resolve. Let me tell you this issue of SAC or NOSAC. Whether we like it or not, the sacking of workers as unfortunate as it is, it is desirable. Whether you like it or not, that's the truth about it. There are people who are just reaping government without ranging any service to government. That's the truth about it. And so if those people are laid off, I don't think there's any problem. I need to feel at grief. They should go to court. If you say you have not been paid, government said we have paid. NOSAC said we have not been paid. So who is telling likes? And so let us know. Who is telling likes? Let's find out. You have been paid or not paid. I am happy you said that. I know you saw this problem. I know you saw this problem. No. Thanks for your thoughts. I am happy you said what you said because I was about to ask about the specifics of this case. What do you say I say 18,000 people were disengaged, 7,000 people were disengaged. I spoke with an NULGE member yesterday. I was having different figures. So the figures here is not cohesive. Ms. Sey, from Jonah, could you give me a verifiable amount of workers in Kajuna State that have been disengaged from service, according to you, obiturally? For the time we are going, the LACARs were still flowing of disengaging staff and from the court termination, from the call retirement, from the call dismissal, all those type of funny languages from the LACARs. And at the last count, the NULGE, NULGE was about 2,000 of NULGE staff were disengaged. He went to these medical health workers, they disengaged about 4,000. Then he went to NULGE. NULGE was also disengaged about 750. So in all these last episodes we were talking about, they have disengaged about 7,500 workers. Is there a possibility because Boris of France- Somebody to tell me that I will find will listen. Let me side an instance with the head of service that he mentioned.  But I want you to add the possibilities of ghost workers in these numbers that you've just mentioned. Boris of France had mentioned that there's a lot of ghost workers in Cardenas state that also need to be taken out of the wage bill. So do you think that there is a possibility that that is also part of the numbers that you've just mentioned as you go on? I don't know where you got this information. I don't know where you are getting this information. There are ghost workers. Do they have evidences that there are ghost workers in Cardenas in civil service? If we don't have it, well, I don't have it. So yeah, it's in a better position to tell us how it came about, the ghost workers talking about. But as far as we know, these are human beings that can be counted. You will count them the number and they are physical, they are visible, that it seems that they are not visible. So for him to say that there are ghost workers in Cardenas, why would he not partner with labor? We have done work for several governors in Cardenas here. We have collaborated with governors. In Cardenas here, we collaborated with the military governor. We collaborated with them as we brought out issues that had the government. If there are immigrants like that, why not engage labor? All right. On the 25% he deducted from workers the other time. I want to cite one instance so that you will know what I'm talking about. He directed that 25% of the salary to be cut from the salary without consultation. And when he destroyed that level was talking to the head of Southern Coast and say, what did you do to see our situation is like this? And after we agreed that let it be like two or five percent so that the people can still go home with something. Can still go home with something. As I'm telling you now, at that meeting the head of Southern Coast said that it has already been determined. It is something that has been decided by the council. So there was nothing we could do just to settle. You are giving us information. You are giving us information. So that has been the character and the policies and the operation of the governor in Cardenas state. So because I don't know whether the barricade is living in Cardenas or not. I don't know. He should attest to the fact that this governor has no listening ears. He doesn't have listening ears. And the people have talked to him but we can see how stubborn he is. And we are not doing it to hurt anybody. What we are doing is the legal thing we are doing. If we protest, the protest is allowed by law we have the right to protest. Okay, so Mr. Jonah, I just wanted to get... I want to say something to the governor. Yes, many weeks ago. Yes, you did mention that Mr. Jonah. I want to ask you, you are striking now for the next five days to want the government, right? So what would you want the government to do to make the workers leave the streets and go back to work? What would be the solution to that? All we need is that let everyone respond to Southern Coast. The people that have been sent in court they should be called back and all the people can imagine that somebody who level 126, what he did was that he casualized them. Somebody was working for 20 years, 25 years to casualize them that he doesn't have a degree, a cleaner in the hospital or a person that is working in the hospital that he doesn't have to know anything. I don't need to go to school to learn how to sweep. I don't need to go to school to learn how to wash the best spray. I don't need that. So for him to have casualized them from level one to six is that here? And I'm telling you, every fight has in the local government now he has reversed the minimum wage of 30,000 to 18,000. That was what they were paid last month. That was the month they were paid last month. And I can't imagine that somebody will not trust, this is a document that will sign it to law. Minimum wage deal is a constitutional provision that look, this is the base mask for what they're going to pay people. But before we get back to you. And he came up to say, if you're out to 50 years, go. And that was, I wasn't asking him, is he not more than 50 years? Is he not a civil servant? Why would he not take the, why would he not take the ban? Go out. All right, before we go back to Barriser Francis, hold on from Jonah. He doesn't follow the rule of law. Yeah, well, before we go back to Barriser Francis, Barriser Francis, I would like you to speak on the response of the Kaduna State government.  And his response is said that the strike is sabotage and it is meant to sabotage economy and movement of Kaduna State. And also as politicized it a little bit. But before that, Ephraim Jonah, do you have the support of the Kaduna State workers? At your protest yesterday, did you have hundreds or maybe even thousands of workers out in the streets in solidarity with your cause? Well, you see, when we say we don't have support, I don't understand. I'm asking, the level of support you have. They are workers in the state. They are workers in the state. And I don't know why he's saying that people didn't turn up, people were in their offices. I don't know why he got those information. But let me quickly say this, that because of the intimidation and threat, some people couldn't even come out because they know the kind of person we are dealing with. You, because in fact, at a point we were suspecting, maybe they were going to organize a talk to come and interrupt our process. But on board, I don't know whether God led in his heart not to try that. Because if you try that, it will have been another story but we will be talking about today. Okay. Now let's go back to Barista Francis now. The question that I asked, the response of the Katana State government, Katana State governor, he has described this as a sabotage. You know, and you know, there's also political intonations to it. How do you respond? Well, what does that say to you? And does that show him as a listening governor? Thank you very much, sir. First of all, let me make it clear. That NLC has no definite figure about whose appointment have been terminated or not. I challenge them to be specific as to the number of citizens that have been terminated. I'm saying that because they have just exagerated the figure out of context. Secondly, the fact that there are those workers in Kodonasi is a fact known to every person in Kodonasi. There are schools that don't exist. That's just a propagated study of base salaries. He knows about that. So those are ghost workers that don't exist in Kodonasi. We know that. And every fire and the government try to put them out and they are making noise because most of the beneficiary of those ghost workers are those that are making the noise straight. The leaders of the NLC and other people like that. Secondly, let me tell you, he said people above 50 years have been sad. It's not true. That's a strong statement. I know as a fact that there are people who are above 50 years that are working in the Kodonasi civil service. Right, so Francis, I don't want us to quickly skip over. So it is not true. I just want to be a propaganda. Yeah, I don't want us to quickly. I'm coming, sir. Can we hold on? You finish, but I don't want us to skip over a statement that you just made, that the NLC leaders are beneficiaries of the ghost workers in Kodonasi. And exagerating figures. Yeah, and exagerating figures. That's a strong allegation there, sir. Yeah, and it's true. They are exagerating figures. They actually don't have any definitive figure. I can lend them to Kodons in specific terms of the exact number of workers and the fact. But you've also said that they are benefiting from the ghost workers. I can lend them to Kodons. And second, let me tell you, a lot of people are benefiting. The ghost, if there's a ghost worker, somebody is benefiting from it. And the NLC president, like you said, and also the leaders of the state. Let's go back to the issue. Pardon? Then you've said that the NLC leadership in Kodona state are part of the beneficiaries of the ghost workers. Let me tell you, sir. The point I'm making is that there are ghost workers. There are ghost workers. And there are still ghost workers today. Somebody somewhere in leadership, either senior government officials and some leaders of the union are part of it. They could look. Okay. They're part of it, I think, from it. Mr. Jonah. That's the truth. Mr. Jonah, can you hear me? I will talk about the response of the class of men. When I said the, listen, let me finish this point. Let me just make this point. Go ahead. So let me just make this point. Now, I make good to say that as of yesterday, I have lived in Kodona, as of yesterday, many civil servants went to work. Those who were on the streets are not civil servants. They're not civil servants. Many civil servants went to work because later on, they would unlock all the offices and check the offices. So people are really interested in working because they know that the approach to this problem is not strike. It's not strike. It's not protest. The approach to this problem, as I said, there are either two ways. You either dialogue and find a solution to it or you go and challenge. Okay. That's the only way. We hear you, Barrister. Strike is as it's old fashioned. Yes, we hear you Barrister. Mr. Ephraim Jena. Mr. Ephraim, can you hear me? Not very clear. Yes. If you can hear me, we know that back in 2016, there was a verification exercise in Kodona State that uncovered over 16,000 ghost workers in Kodona State. And yet Barrister Francis Dala-Dikosa is repeating that there are ghost workers in Kodona State, that the NLC has no definite figure after the amount of people who have been allegedly sacked by the government and that the NLC members are beneficiaries of the ghost worker situation in Kodona State. Can you kind of respond to that? I think the only area I have, whether the NLC are beneficiary to the ghost worker and he claimed the error in Kodona. Yes, go ahead please. The audio is not okay. The audio is not okay. But if you can hear me, if you can hear me, you see, I want to ask the Barrister who is the linear testing. To withdraw, to withdraw some of the statements he made now. Because this statement, until and on left, is able to prove that a labor is colluding with ghost workers in the state. And for somebody to come and say that whether somebody is being instigated by external forces, it's not true. It's not true. What is happening in Kodona is so painful. It's something that you can touch, you can feel. So for somebody who, at my age now, somebody will be pushing me up and down. At the age of one, but somebody will be pushing me up and down that one, do this, don't do this, don't do this, don't do this. It's not unfortunate the Barrister is saying what he's saying because I take exception to what he's saying. Whether we are colluding, colluding with who? Colluding with the ghost worker? One who is the ghost worker? Somebody that you can't see and you call him a ghost, you say you are colluding with ghost workers, what does that mean? So I take exception to that. And until he's able to give a proof, I will not accept that. Okay, well, we have to wrap it up. I don't know if we would have the virus that would draw that statement or, you know, do you stand by your statement? Barrister Francis? Hello? Hello? Yes, go ahead.  Barrister Francis, Dan Ladi? Well, I stand by my statement that there are ghost workers, there are ghost workers. And the ghost workers were among those who were chased out of the coffin. And there still exists some ghost workers. And I stand by my statement that some people somewhere are benefiting from those because the sliders that have been paid to those pockets. And so on and so forth. I stand by my statement. I don't have any withdrawals, that's the truth about it. And he's talking about some of it. We're out of town. We're referring to your statement. You call, you call, Barrister Francis, we're referring to your statement. Aleppo, not part of the Karnasi civil servants. Yes, we're referring to your statement. We're referring to your statement. Can you hold on? Can you hold on? Barrister Francis, would you hold on? That's the Karnasi civil service. I don't know. Yes. I don't know what in Karnasi government. So are you saying that they are, are you standing by your statement that they are beneficiaries? The civil service. Are you saying that they are beneficiaries of the ghost workers in Karnasi state? That's the question.  That the NRC... My question is very clear. My question is very clear. I made the point very clear. Pointedly, that there are ghost workers and that there are people who are beneficiaries of the ghost workers and that people who are in the government, they are there. The leadership of NRC or whoever in Karnasi state are part of the civil service of Karnasi state. I don't know the civil servants. I don't know the positions of the authority in Karnasi. They are workers. Yeah, that's what we're talking about. So they are beneficiaries from them. Barisa Francis, thank you very much. And because people have been sad, they have lost this illegal means of omission. They are making noise all over the place. They are pulling the making of that. I made that point clear. Dan Ladi. Dan, look. Thank you very much. Barisa Francis, Dan Ladi Kosa, for your time this morning. And also Ephraim Jonah, Deputy Chairman of NRC Karnasi. Thank you very much for speaking with us on this. Thank you both. Yeah, we hope to follow up with you both regarding the outcome of this whole strike. What happens after five days if the government doesn't bulge? Does the NRC move as well? We'll be following all the developments here on the breakfast in Plastiv Africa. So we'll take a break here and return to discuss another burning issue in Nigeria and that's electricity and our power deficit.


Again, I'm not a bear, I love a bull market. Who doesn't love a good bull market? But I love value, I love reality. And when value crosses paths with reality and gets confirmed by technical analysis, you're usually gonna have a pretty good result and that's exactly what we're seeing. Welcome to Access to Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey guys, good evening everybody. Welcome to another edition of the Access to Trader.com nightly wrap up show. Hope everybody is doing well. So let's talk about the markets, right? So another day, same, you know, different day kind of same headlines come across more sanctions hitting Russia, right? That's the every single day you see a new company pulling out of Russia. What blew me away was the announcement today from McDonald's. Did you guys realize when McDonald's came out with their statement, they said, we're temporary closing operations in Russia. I thought they had like five, six restaurants. They had 834 restaurants in Russia. That absolutely blew me away. Completely unexpected. You see PayPal after the close saying they're, you know, they're done with Russia. You had Pepsi, yada, yada, yada. Big news, obviously today came out of, Biden was a little bit late. What's new to this press conference talking about how they're set to ban Russian oil effective immediately. Obviously that's a big storyline as well. You had the Apple event that really didn't, really didn't do anything, right? I didn't think it was going to, to announce anything spectacular, but I'm just kind of looking at my notes here. You have MLB games, right? Major League Baseball games. Obviously we're staring at a lockout right now, but they have MLB games on Friday nights to air on Apple TV. Okay, right? You had some, you know, you had some introduces of Max Studio, which is kind of cool, priced at two grand. And then an Ultra Max Studio, whatever the hell that is, priced at $4,000. So it wasn't really anything too exciting. It wasn't like a, you know, like an announcement of an Apple car, which would have been kind of cool for the Apple toilet. Obviously invented by George Costanzi. He always gets hosed. But the most important part was the dynamics of the market that we continue to see the same thing. We see a really good sell bias in the morning. If you are prepared going into every single trading day, you're going to see there's a lot of, again, there's a lot of names, still have tons of meat on their bones. What's crazy about the sell-off is, they're even selling off consumer sickles. Look what they did. Look at this candle on Coke, right? That's crazy. Look at Coke, Pepsi, maybe like a Procter and Gamble. Nothing is safe, man. You feel maybe they're going to, you know, maybe there's some safe haven in some of these consumer cyclical stocks, but not so much like everything is getting really, really hit. And the most amazing part of what happened after the morning session, again, we'll get to the tidbits in a second, really, really good moves this morning to the downside. And then, you know, we're pretty much done by lunchtime, very, very rare. Am I going to start trading in the afternoon? There's nothing good really happens in the afternoon. Ranges contract in the mornings, ranges expand because people are chasing stocks at different levels. But in the afternoons, usually ranges contract or, you know, any type of news violence comes out is going to sell off the market. So, you know, we were pretty much done by lunchtime and so on. So I went to take lunch and next thing you know, we started rallying. And I said, all right, great. You know, because we talked about in the video, we talked about it pretty much in every video that, hey, the worst markets will always get some sort of rally. And, you know, we started rallying like pretty aggressively. And I was like, okay, I'm good. Let's see, you know, let's see if they, you know, if we could get some ranges maybe for tomorrow, hopefully, you know, hopefully these, you know, the bulls are not going to mess this up. Maybe get a couple of days worth of a bounce. And as soon as I said that, as soon as I said that, you got the Apple event that ended. You had this massive sell off coming in and Apple. And then the next thing you know, everything that was strong. And when the Dow was up 600 points where I was like, wow, it's pretty impressive. That was up 600 points. The Nasdaq was up 300. And the next thing you know, slowly but surely drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip. The Dow goes negative. You got a 700 point turnaround just in the last two hours of trading. The Nasdaq gives up 300 points down 30, 40 points. And the most important part is again, what is systematic is going on right now in a bear market is again, there's a sell bias. So again, we could get stocks. We could even get a dead cat bounce. We could get a two, three day rally. The point is every single time we get a rally, if we do get a rally, we get stuff that's supplied. They turn around again and start making sales. Again, look at, you know, look at names like Amazon. We talked about Amazon. We had a room, you know, to the 2,700 loans. Look at this move on Amazon. Did you guys realize, I didn't realize because I don't trade shop a lot. Did you realize that shop was at 1,700 on November 19th? Stock is at $500 a share. That's pretty aggressive self. You see a lot of names. We talked about UPST last night, right? You know, again, starting to move lower. Tesla today got really, really saved, right? We had a pretty good pivot on Tesla today to the downside. You see the channel here? The goalie kicked save this thing. Guys, tattoo this level on your brain. If this level goes, this is what's coming in its future. But again, it's not here yet. Something that we're just definitely watching. But again, going into tomorrow, again, it's the same thing. We continue to look for value to the downside. Some of the oil names that had strong runs, some of the potash names that strong runs are starting to get a little tired, starting to get a little bit more heavy. Again, we talked about a name, for example, like ADM, right? Look at the name like ADM.  It held 83 several times. Eventually this 83 folds. Maybe you get a multi-day move all the way down to what? 79, 78, right? This is something that has good value. Again, the stock is tired, had a big, big run. Gravity's real. Maybe something we could watch. I mean, look at names like STX, right? Big, big move down. Completely took out this whole channel here. Again, it's not really a name that I follow, but you can't ignore a setup like this. Look at a stock like Dell, right? Look at a stock like Dell. Look how close this damn thing is to starting its next like that. So you're still seeing a lot of value. Anything that is up is getting stuffed into supply or getting stuffed into a headline. And until that finishes, right? Again, I'm not a bear. I love a bull market. Who doesn't love a good bull market? But I love value. I love reality. And when value crosses paths with reality and gets confirmed by technical analysis, you're usually gonna have a pretty good result. And that's exactly what we're seeing. But this morning, the bear's won. This afternoon, the bull's won. And unfortunately, the NASDAQ should change its name to the Nix, because like the Nix, the NASDAQ gave up a 300-point fourth quarter lead. But again, it is what it is. So let's talk about today's pivots again. Pretty aggressive start to the day. Here is the Apple event that we talked about this morning. So here was Tesla, right? And it really got kicked. It really, the goalie saved it today. If this thing were to confirm macro, we would have had a huge, huge move. But again, it didn't. Nice little trade there on Tesla 804. If it builds below, can flush. It had an opening range low into the 90s. I thought there was a shot at 787. I thought there was an outside shot at 782. And it stopped right at 782. You see the low here? You see the low today's low? This is exactly the same low, guys. This thing gets violated. This thing's going, but nice move. I mean, really, really nice move on Tesla. Here is the whole opening range break. We went from 804 opening range all the way down to 782. Nice move. We're in a really, really nice move on Tesla. You know, bingo, right? Bingo. Qualcomm 150, 149, if it builds below, can flush. They came for the 145 puts. Here is Qualcomm. Not a big move, right? Not a big move at all. It had a nice little pop all the way down to 147. Again, the market rallied, so did it. But this is the lowest close on Qualcomm. Starts losing today's lows in the next couple of days. Definitely has more downside. UPST 11180. If it builds below, can flush more. Here was UPST this morning. It took out the 1180, right? Took out the 1180, traded all the way down to 107, right? Nice move on UPST before, obviously, everything reversed. I wasn't watching FISV.  I wasn't even watching this thing at all.  Let's see, let's see it together. 94, let's see, 94. Looks like it went down to 93, 50. Marvelous. You got it, congratulations. Congratulations. Shake Shack 61 held twice. If it builds below, can flush. I sort of go down. I didn't trade in Shack. I had some, in the video, we'll talk in a second. We had some, Tesla was really, really good. Here was Shack, right? Took out the 61, traded down to 50, 59. Again, nice little pop. Again, if it loses 59, I still like this thing lower. But again, nice move there. KSS held again, held three times 51. I still like this thing. Baidu got smashed. We talked, I think we talked about Baidu yesterday on the video. If I'm wrong, I apologize. But again, it is what it is. 137, if it builds below, can flush. Here was Baidu, right? Here was Baidu, took out the 37, traded all the way down to 32, really nice move this morning as well. Baidu, Blimey, Baidu, Nvidia, few ways to play this thing. This one is a little bit tricky this morning, but every level confirmed, if it opens above 213's valid second entry, it opened above rallied, broke 213, broke 2890, went down to 206.50, again, the market rally, but again, hey, the video was, the video is, you know, was nice, it was nice and then it came back and all that blah, blah, blah, blah, but anyway, Tesla, this is the number, guys, tattoo it on your brain. This thing, you know, it's up here. This is for all the audience, right? This thing loses its number, guys. Not gonna be good. Baidu, really nice move there. Perfect 206 on deck and the video got smoked off that opening print. Shaq got hit, here comes UPST. So again, the value continues to be on the market. Again, guys, I don't care if this market, while you're underneath supply, the score, guys, forget about the scoreboard. The scoreboard is irrelevant. The scoreboard is water cooler talk. Don't let the bright lights of Times Square, you know, give you FOMO, right? The market could be up 600 points. Everything is under supply. So every single move, when these stocks move, they're literally moving in spurts. They're going into supply, eventually gonna get stuffed into supply. That's what a bear market is. Sharp rallies, aggressive sell-offs. The most important, again, here's the dynamics. If you look at the market, again, would you buy, if this was an individual stock, would you buy the stock, right? Look at this disgusting move here in the cues. And again, keep this in mind. And again, I want a bull market. I love a bull market. Who doesn't love a bull market? But again, I like reality more combined with technical analysis, and that is the key. Guys, God bless. Have a great night, everybody. Get your research done, and I will see you all tomorrow. Take care.


Nineteen novel coalitions of civil society groups honour the auspices of mega-national movement for good governance. As called on President Ballatino to investigate the management of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company limited by the misappropriation of funds, corruption and non-remotions of oil revenue into the Federation account, the civil society groups a restoring transparency, accountability and financial stability within the oil sector is essential for the well-being of Nigeria's economy and its citizens. Speaking at the press conference in Kaduna, the spokesperson of the groups brought him to Johnny said fuel subsidies camps under remittance of oil-sale revenue, corruption and oil theft have negative effect on the majority of Nigerians and the economy of the nation. As concerned and patriotic citizens of this great country Nigeria, we interested in knowing the true nature of NNPCL, NNPCL's oil production contracts and remittance to the Federation account as well as the transparency of pipeline surveillance contracts awarded by the NNPCL line with the global best practices. Without President Ballatino to take action and fire and prove engineer militarily, this is crucial for the transparency, accountability and development of Nigerian petroleum industry. Heads of other important departments and agencies such as CBN and EFCC have been sucked, arrested and proved. This raised the question of why the case of the NNPCL led by engineer Mele Kari is being treated differently. They lamented the instability of the prices of petroleum product across the country, noting that the NNPCL records 16 trillion in oil sales without remittances into the Federation accounts. As a coalition of patriotic groups, we have identified allegations of significant irregularities within the NNPCL, including fuel subsidies camps under remittance of oil sales revenue, corruption, shady pipeline surveillance contracts and oil theft. These issues have had a collective detrimental effect on the majority of Nigerians.

from 32 down to two weird games NFC game We I had people watching the NFC game yesterday That never watched football and they're like this is what you do for a living. This is how do you do this every day? I'm bored. I don't like what's going on here We'll dig into that and then we got to get to the AFC side of things X factor human joy stick Dante Hall is on the show the perfect person to have after the sky more thing Last time we saw Dante Moore. He was coming in straight from McKendrick Lamar concert in a lay the night before and today He is joining as Brighton early on the West Coast from being at Arrowhead last night poppin bottles of champagne from a sweet or something. So that's very exciting And then we have I mean Marissa's hilarious. We're here with another green screen as our studio is getting rebuilt Can you come over here? She wore an eagle shirt anybody ever take up production class look at the oh, yeah, she's missing Fly give it give it to me. Give it to me Marissa Oh Show starts now Awkward I like that was more awkward that than Marissa behind me on a green screen trying to do this Marissa Nobody the control room thought that you weren't gonna be singing. I thought you'd be singing sing sing from your gut Fly goes fly. No, just something. No shoes Eagles fly Jalen much more comfortable on the field than he was singing that song will get to all of that We've got Brandon Marshall on the show people were excited to break down some of this And yeah, we're gonna get to the officiating because a lot of it was sus yesterday and we didn't like it So bangles fans that got you covered But the important thing here is that the Heinz ketchup Super Bowl the Super Bowl 57 has been set Kansas City Chiefs taking on Marissa's Philadelphia Eagles in the desert in Arizona We're in a Marshall by the way joining our show. He picked the Eagles to go all the way I think we first had him on the first couple of weeks of the season and this game will be take place Less than two weeks from today. So we're gonna chew on it We're gonna spit it out pick it up put it back in our mouths Swish it around chew it back out again because that is how much time we have to break down these games And I don't care much for the Pro Bowl So we're gonna talk about this and a lot of the twists and turns as it happened yesterday. So I Stayed up all night watching these games full disclosure. This is water We're waiting for my coffee to arrive So this is how I feel and where we should start is in the game We saw last night in the AFC this dramatic Chiefs win bit of controversy 23 to 20 over the Bengals their first win over the Bengals a score now three to one and I will get into some of these calls the Thoughts about the referees the officiating a little bit later So do not worry Bengals fans, but we got it and we will and we're excited to give the Chiefs some love This is incredible what they accomplished last night bum ankle Travis Kelsey backs basins down every option to catch a ball that there is a pesky mare giving everybody the cringes and they still Got it done Patrick Mahomes. He was down not one not two not three four He was down four of his top five receivers still manages to throw This laser to Marquis Valdez scantling for a touchdown MBS have yourself a night Unbelievable performance performance of a lifetime. I was tweeting. I mean I tweeted that was my Twitter performance of a lifetime lesson I was on a plane watching this action. The Bengals were in defense part of my Twitter tirade I was loving it. They were stout against Casey DJ reader was on our show the other week I'm excited for what they were doing. They held the Chiefs to just about two yards per carry So what does that mean? It was all on the Holmes It was all on Patrick Mahomes on a bum ankle to deliver and he did that even though he was dealing with Something that saw him limping out on the field. It was still an issue. He battled through it And he just kept doing it. He kept making place.  He never had a sack in a playoff performance He had about 15 or 14 of those outings Sackless almost got his hands up bro twice barely Couldn't get his hands on him so they could advance to the Super Bowl last year. He has another shot This was amazing. He doesn't ding once. He takes them down twice. Okay, 14th playoff game for that He hit Joe Burrow. He was all over Burrow the whole time and he had another five times as well in this one So I mean he talks about making up for past opportunities and stuff in the AFC title game last year And he responds with the game of his life saying by the way to James Palmer Jimmy palm trees over NFL media after the game Don't disrespect Arrowhead. Do not disrespect Arrowhead. That was the theme after the game, of course, which it's not even called Arrowhead anymore Isn't it GEHA stadium at this point stadium without their calling it Imagine what an L that is for them with all of this burrow head arrow head nonsense They can't even get the game the name and the branding right But this chief's team was right and and they won and they made plays when it counted and their quarterback was out of his mind and He was on another level and I did it I'll be totally honest and we're gonna get into the Bengal side of this You got a lot to gripe about and today's an emotional day I want to remind everyone feel free to just set score to earth on everybody all the officials all be mad at the NFL Be mad at everybody mad at you know Well, we'll talk about being mad at 58 and Brenda Marshall has some thoughts on that coming up but I didn't I Wasn't comfortable with what I was seeing at the end of last week From the fans with the bangles and the mayor and all of that stuff That was going on it, you know, I texted Hamilton at Friday night After this whole mayor fiasco went down and I just said I do not like this bangles vibe of dominance Like we're better through you know, blah blah chiefs are pissed Gotta be and he said it's not them. Don't change on us. I don't think the bangles fans are changing I think there's obviously a lot of pent up stuff going on with the NFL's rules changing on the fly to not give them You know all the benefits of all of the rules they decided to change In the shadow in the aftermath of what happened with DeMar Hamlin who was healthy and recovering and and we loved to see all of that I think they felt like they got a raw deal. I agree that they did get a raw deal and I think There was a lot of bravado going into this game, but the burrow head stuff You know the Hilton stuff of it all this was not the vibe going into the Super Bowl or this AFC championship game last year And I didn't I didn't love it But I did think to myself and I even wrote this to Hamilton later that night. I don't it's okay They're still going to be fine because they have Joe Burrow and Zach Taylor and Joe Burrow is now all of a sudden feeling Smoking cigars before games are even played. He's not affected the team isn't going to overshoot this And they didn't they looked fine yesterday. It's just that it really clearly affected the chiefs Okay, and I can't play this bite enough. I don't know that I've laughed so hard about a NFL post game bite. I mean, I'm I'm crying about Travis Kelsey. Let's start with him with Mahomes after the game There's the belly laugh just the bed that is penned up That's just you I can you can love the bangles.  Am I watching an AFC title game or am I watching like WWE? What am I why loved? I just loved it because to be honest as man I'm really sad for the bangles and bangles fans are pissed today and they should be so angry but It only it will it shows a couple of things bulletin board material anybody Eric Weddle included saying it doesn't matter You shouldn't be motivated every game is basically decided on the X factor We'll ask Dante Hall about this of bulletin board material serving as motivation. It helped send those receipts back It completely lifted the bangles over the bills in that game to get to this AFC championship game and then all this talking had it wasn't tons of talking goes a couple, you know a couple apples and A couple talkative apples and a mare that really did this But but I have to be honest like my it's my dream to do what Kelsey did It is my dream to have all these people against me Don't go out and do you know whatever whatever it might be and have me put up a performance and Be able to back it up and get in front of the microphones of the world and belly laugh About being Disrespected and you call like calling the place that I live in my quarterback who I love so much Another name and I mean the media flew with that. That's not even the bit the media completely flew with the borough head thing And that happens. So yes, we will get into the penalties in a bit, but congrats to these chiefs Congratulations to the city of Kansas City. Is this the dynasty? Do they need a win for it to be a dynasty? I'll ask Dante Hall. They made plays. That's all I know for right now on this Monday celebrating this And they they got themselves their trip to Arizona.  The Eagles are meeting the chiefs in the Super Bowl Bizarre Bowl is sort of the word that I've come to terms with the with the NFC championship tilt 31 to 7 uneven I Don't even know We had debates about punts hitting wires There was a near brawl. I could not pull. I literally could not believe what I was seeing And the way this one completely turned on the Niners sixth play from scrimmage, okay? And this is the guy that deserves all of our love Hassan Reddick. Oh my And it was the whole time I mean this this strip sack of Brock Purdy this injures Purdy He gets banged up on his elbow and it looked like Brock was done until fourth drink string quarterback Josh Johnson Got that concussion, right? He forces Brock to go back into the game Even though he couldn't really throw the ball It was kind of a bummer seeing the Niners season come down to more injuries the quarterback position I would have loved to sort of see the teams face each other at full strength There was a sentiment that I saw a lot on Twitter that you know I wish we could have seen both of these guys, but credit to the Eagles you get the job done You're the last man standing you They left they dominated that's what they did and Hassan Reddick as you just saw He sort of makes a statement here Maybe he should have been under stronger consideration for defensive player of the or granted Chris Jones did his thing I'm not saying he didn't but to not even be named a finalist for the award This man finished second in the NFL and sacks in the regular season He completely outshined Nick Bosa yesterday with two sacks of the fourth fumble on the Purdy play Oh Marissa's going Yes, yes. I mean, it's true. He was the one Hassan Reddick Recovered Josh Johnston's drop pass as well So he's been on fire during this entire postseason run and if the Eagles finish and they lift that Lombardi Oh my gosh, can you imagine Kelsey and Kelsey? I can't even handle it We'll be talking about Reddick's playoff performance and I'm not even kidding. I will put it up there I'll be the first to say it is up there with a 2015 von Miller You know, you want to talk how many bears highlights? I've been living off of his scraps for the past 30 years Richard Dent, baby 85 bears it and he have been that Frickin good and for the Eagles offense Do you feel good about it? You do. Okay. She's nervous. Okay. She's nervous, but she's not you got this We didn't I don't know how to feel today. Today's just reaction emotion day, right? We didn't get to see Jalen Hertz at his best, right? He wasn't on top of his game But they were able to keep pounding away at this niners team that everyone said you haven't faced a defense like us Well, it's the number one ranked defense and they coasted to a win So Jalen keeps saying his shoulder isn't 100% and he's keeping it real with us And he hasn't quite looked as sharp as he did earlier this season But the the Eagles haven't really had to lean on that army and maybe they won't right They haven't really had to do that in the playoffs and they've been literally running over teams Are you dying when you saw Boston Scott get in the end zone? I'm at I'm at a Smirnoff event having having I was actually having a lot of fun I was I'm a Smirnoff spokesperson and partner and I'm in Dallas for the day and but when I see this Boston Scott thing I am losing my I'm throwing coasters and think I was losing my mind I was so excited because he's a friend of the show and he's a guy who's like I just do my thing against the Giants and I just want to make good plays when they happen I want to be a guy who's just consistent and does what he's told You crushed it and feel and Miles Sanders. You loved seeing all of it fit Philly Dominant win and there's nothing to take away from this other than you advance to a Super Bowl, which is amazing But the shoulder is something I'm nervous about and something that I personally will be keeping a close eye on as we head towards The Super Bowl is two weeks enough time to heal a little bit. Will he regain his top form? These are all questions, but defense offensive line. Oh my god this offensive line Jordan My a lot of emotional left at the game these Eagles are going to be tough to stop All right, I'm gonna stop talking. I hopefully my coffee is here. We've got so much to get you I don't need coffee because we've got an electric Former wide receiver for the Chiefs joining us. I bet he's slept even less than I did Dante. Have you slept yet? Don't lie.  I know it Do you have his Instagram? Oh Do you have the Instagram with the champagne? Oh, I want the champagne Instagram as we will get Patrick Holmes and Travis Kelsey. You probably had their fair share of champs last night after winning and hosted hoisting that AFC championship trophy Conrad's telling me we're live on air I guess that's good to know as we welcome in our first guest who played wide receiver for nine seasons seven of those for the Kansas City Chiefs He's one of the baddest return specialists in the history of the NFL They call him the human joystick at the X factor. It never gets old with Dante. Hello Oh Good morning. How are you? I listen, I'm good Last time I saw you you came crawling in from a Kendrick Lamar concert in LA on no sleep And last night, I hope we have it because I asked for it. I'm watching the video you pop and ball. Yes In a suite at geha field at arrowhead talk to me about the vibes I mean, honestly The vibes were I felt a lot of nervous energy Because it felt like that game was setting up to be a repeat of last year So a lot of nervous energy throughout the stadium But also obviously a lot of excitement the defense played tails off um, but definitely you can feel like Everyone feeling like Not again, especially when patrick lost the um lost the ball when I guess he was attempting to make a pass It was like deja vu all over again. So A lot of nervous energy, but a lot of fun in the end So in the end tell me about that energy Was it just as exciting as a couple of years ago when they won and then went on to win the super bowl or do you You know, give me that be honest hall be honest So I'll be I'm always honest like I'm gonna keep it real with you no matter what So the stadium was just Exciting but I felt like once we got away from the stadium and went to go out to party It was pretty dead. It was pretty dead in kc. So maybe kansas city fans are So jaded or they're so used to going to super bowls and went in lc championships They don't celebrate the lc championships anymore. They only celebrate super bowl wins Wow Yeah, I got to talk to somebody on the patreon This is a dynasty in the making if it's not already a dynasty like did they get tired? Did fox bro or new england ever get tired? They've made it to three of the last four. So going into this one now. They're going back Leading into this game Don't say there was a lot of chatter. There's a lot.  I was i'm still crying from that the whole burrowhead thing Let's let's I want to play it again. Show me show me kelsie with nance. Please do I've got some wise words for that Cincinnati mayor.  You jabroni You gotta fight for your right Epic epic, um, and that's how you in all trash talk right there That's the way you in trash talk, but leading up to the game. I thought it was amazing Um, I like when guys are honest how they feel. Um, I like a little banter a little trash talk I think it makes for a better game But in the end you got to go out and play and back it up and the bingles almost backed it up but obviously The patrick mail homes led chiefs and travis kelsie Had the last word and I was very graceful if jim nance if jim nance handed you that microphone last night What would you have said to the mayor? Oh, it would have been safer tv It would have been a bunch of Couple of fines handed out. I mean The disrespect when they started calling arrowhead burrowhead that pissed me off the rest of the tit chatter That's great, but You can't call arrowhead burrowhead. That's just the ultimate disrespect and i'm a big joe burrow fan I think the guy's incredible. I've been a fan of this veil since lsu really like him other than when he's playing my chiefs But they took it a little too far and um, I think I would have said something similar to what I said shut your mouth Yeah, yeah, and it was it was mike hilton's Name so it's it's important to point out. It wasn't joe burrow calling it burrowhead joe burrow would you know I don't think he would ever it just you know, let's remove him to your point What do you think went so wrong for the bangles here? Oh, it was obviously going into that game I felt like joe burrow and patrick would do what they do in big games like this it's always the role players of the others and um I just think that offensive line been weak. You got chris jones Frank clark those guys really feasted off of that um poorest offensive line and I think that was the biggest difference It's similar to what happened to the chiefs a few years ago in the super bowl You know, you got a lot of injuries throughout the offensive line and you just can't give your store quarterback enough time to uh, do what he does But he's still almost ported out, but the difference in the game was definitely chris jones and that and that defense Uh and I mean, you're it's very fitting that we have you I'm glad that you weren't you know arrested in some in some you know under the stadium for Expletives on the stage because we need you to go over this drive for the game-winning field goal Set up by this insane 29-yard punt talk me through this sky. This is when it mattered dante Exactly and it was so cold and as a return man The best thing about playing during the wintertime you can't really Boom these punts. So as soon as I'm sitting down watching I'm thinking to myself That is a return ball I mean you got time to catch it survey the field and make a play And it was great to see this young rookie make a play in this moment because he has struggled this season in fielding punts and and and then Uh the return man that they thought he was able to be so I think this uh, I'll be Great for him as far as his confidence moving forward But what a play because I don't believe the chiefs would have had enough time to go down and get in field position without that key return It's super true. He was an x-factor if you will uh in this game to get it done But I mean so were a lot of guys marquez valda scantling Game of his life. You mentioned christ jones game of his life, but even you know and it's sort of I defend patrick mohomes a lot this year because I think we are not Being respectful of greatness as it happens anymore because we are used to it It is normal to say patrick mohomes are gonna do this isn't this but last night ankle injury down four of his five wide receivers What's specifically impressed you about mohomes the most? Just his grit and I was it's funny you asked me that because I was just thinking about I was watching the highlights this morning Watching a lot of of coverage of and replays of the game and what came to my mind was He grew up in an area that i'm very familiar with it's east texas And I started my young like they're playing football. So first time I ever played football It's the country. It's the backyards of texas. Then I moved to houston And I started playing at city ball You know texas georgia florida louisanna all these great southern states that we know it's the football bible belt But it's something about those backyard country Southern football players they make you tough. It's a different form of football And i'm just like this is where this guy was bred. This is where he's born and raised This is where he played backyard football You have to be tough to come out of that type of atmosphere that environment. It is not easy And um, I was just like, you know, it makes sense that he went out and and played a gritty game I had high ankle springs. That's the injuries that took me pretty much out of my career I know what that feels like So i'm super impressed with his With his ability to go out and be able to play through that pain and zero degree weather It makes it even worse. So salute to him and his toughness Yeah, but I gotta tell you you can't talk about texas quarterbacks because you know who he's facing Jaylin hurts houston natives in two weeks. So They're you know, they're meeting together. It's the first meeting of two black quarterbacks in the super bowl as well What are your initial thoughts? I know it's hard to put your head around all of it Two weeks away, but two texas boys But they're both going to bring it even if they're not a hundred percent jaylin with the shoulder mohomes with the ankle Yeah, so initially someone showed me that mean That it was the first time two african quarterbacks would be facing off in the super bowl gave me the chills I think it's amazing progress um and These guys two texas guys going to battle um, I'll I'll be pulling for jaylin how you should do well, but obviously Rooting for my achieves to win. Um, I think in two weeks The injuries will not heal you can't you know heal in two weeks, but they'll definitely be feeling better They have time to um be at their optimal. Um be at their best And um, I'm looking forward to seeing these guys face off. Um, they bring two totally different things to for their teams It's going to be a fun match up to watch If i'm jaylin hurts, I don't want none of 95 I would agree 95 christians. He was on another level on he was crazy last night He really was and um, he had to be in order to win that game He had to be on that level And I don't know whose idea it was on that critical third down last player the game when chris got that set But he switched from the detackle position and went outside to the defensive end I thought that spoke volumes of his ability to play inside outside a man of his size That was very impressive And I don't know if it was spags idea the defensive lines coach idea Or if it was chris jones idea, but when they switched him It didn't allow the pangels to just basically double team him. Um easily being at the detackle position And I thought he played phenomenal and I thought deliberately that was an amazing adjustment at a pivotal point in that game. So chris jones definitely deserves a lot of kudos for that win It's really well said. It's probably why he's an all pro that versatility a big part of why He's a defensive player of the year nominee He looked a lot. I mean bosa for the niners could not get it done So we know chris jones might be that guy and lane johnson and travis's brother jason They're gonna have their hands full in the super bowl and you know the chiefs are going back there We keep talking you're saying the crowd was a little like oh another super bowl. They're in that dynasty Conversation dante are they there in your eyes? Do they need to win this super bowl against the eagles to be considered a dynasty? I think so. Yeah to be a dynasty you at least got to have three at a minimum Back to back is cool. Couple is good. But I think when you get three and more That moves you into that dynasty Conversation it's one thing to go which is just as impressive as we all know It's difficult to make it to these uh super bowls. I played nine years Never even want to play off game and these guys are playing in the fourth super bowl. So um a third super bowl in four years So definitely if you want to go to that next level and being a dynasty you got to win you got to win this one I'll just say this. I know you you love the chief side I let you know I wanted the bangles to win so now i'm just rooting for both I just want a great game But it's you know, it's very impressive It's so hard to keep a team together like brett beach has done. They obviously got rid of tyree kill They made that work and that's a benefit and and you read and all the you know The homes has been there travis has been there. They're stable on the eagle side. It's damn impressive to me. You're talking new coach You're talking new quarterback New weapons knew all that howie roseman is and jeff lory really the only thing Keeping any stability. They were able to completely retool and they're back in the super bowl and that that might be just as impressive I would agree with you hold hardly on that and I think the biggest decision they made was given jaylon herster keys He's a natural born leader and you put these pieces around him and you get a leader like that That's when your team takes off. So I agree hold hardly with everything you just said Dante do you need a nap? I do but I have a lot to do today. I need a nap. I can't nap but I need one. I'll catch up on sleep tomorrow Okay, you catch up on sleep tomorrow. You're the best. Congratulations another run. Will I see you in arizona? Absolutely. I was going anyway, but I'm glad my chiefs will be joining me Okay, they'll be joining you with the party during the rihanna concert in the desert don't say hall We appreciate you. Thank you for joining us and maybe we'll see you out there in az get some sleep We got brenda marshal come in now. Let's really get into this thing officiating Trent williams all the drama with brenda marshal We're at a marshal joining the show momentarily the bangles tweeting. We will be back and I have All of the confidence in the world that that will be true Today is an emotional day for bangles fans is an emotional week leading up to this game Of course, I wanted them to win so badly I literally tweet or texted my entire show staff as I was on a flight back from dallas to la I'm going to get I'm so gonna get escorted off this flight They're gonna put the flight on the ground somewhere in near arizona Ironically enough and I just want the pr team to be ready with fan duel And I want taylor to just get ready for the social onslaught because I am losing my mind in an exciting way It was a really exciting game. It was a great game I hate Officiating talk more than anything. I try to avoid it at all costs.  It taints the game It's never what I want to be talking about. It's never what we should be talking about especially Really any game on a measly sunday in the early window, but the a ofc championship game It's so weak And there's a lot for bangles fans to be upset about this morning and validly upset about or at least like What is that? Where's the consistency? There's the redo Oh my god, the redo of the 39. Has anybody ever seen that before has anybody ever seen a second? No jamar chase was tweeting about it. Then there's the intentional grounding when it looked like I'm sorry when there was a receiver in the area Then there's the late hit on the side Which was a late hit But also a call the bangles and didn't get on the previous drive when frank clark frank clark of all people Hits burrow well after he releases the ball. So these things The reason why bangles fans are so pissed is because that call wasn't made On the other drive and there's distrust Already with this bangles team that already thinks that the nfl changed rules on the fly and the rule book To benefit every other a ofc contender including the ravens But them again all of the consequences none of the benefits like the rest of the a ofc felt And that's why you had burrow a little salty after that win against buffalo saying send them refunds They didn't like that. That was not fair. You had mrs. Blackburn saying i'm not even gonna vote for this because I want it to be more Fair and why I want the right thing to happen and it didn't so that's all Conflated that is all some stuff that they take with them In this world. They don't have control of these bangles players. But what the mayor said the burrow had thing It obviously is something that's gonna fly it affected the chief's players. I do think it elevated the chief's players I think every player out there you can say what you want They all want to win but they all have their own personal motivation to you south christ jones christ jones wants to win But christ jones is an all pro bonafide guy. He doesn't what does he have in this? He had a thing with burrow from the last time so a score to settle A little something extra all of these players come on our show and talk about these plays that keep them up at night And haunt them and these situations that that help help motivate them Uh, and that's what this looked like last night and you have every right bangles fans Older fans newer fans to bandwagon that are a little bit more chirpy. That's what I've noticed today is for that Today is for emotions today is for torched earth like Score torched earth scorched earth whatever you want to do torch it scorch it get rid of it It's my opinion that there are some questionable things happening out there that were Inconsistent if anything and what that tells me and what I think I can say is it's an indication that there is A concern League-wide with officiating that at some point needs to be addressed as I was watching this unfold and hearing the bangles fans It took me back to a week one of our show Sean Payton joins me sits out of nowhere and he starts bringing up concerns that he has About officiating improvements. He wants to happen. He was on the competition committee He said that he dislikes the all-star crews in the playoffs. Let me stop there all star crews, of course You get these hold on you get these officiating crews that are put together for the first time the best of the games they get graded They get chosen to work together, you know It's a chemistry issue at that point. So Sean Payton brought this up early off the jump unprompted So he said that he wants the same crews that they use the regular season Like and you'll think about a guy like Sean Payton. He's watching this last night. Nicole Roby Coleman. I mean, hello He blamed that or he put that on a young official deferring to an older official that he's the chemistry might not be there So it couldn't help but think about that and that conversation that I had on the show With Sean Payton watching this sort of I'll go down last night You know watching these calls these decisions that were totally unprecedented. So it's hard enough to beat Mahomes And this canza city team it is it's impossible. You aren't able to do when the calls aren't going your way So today's the day for being mad for feeling your feelings for letting it out for treating the nfl and then we can get into some of the other Realities of it. You can't put the game entirely on the refs You didn't lose the game before because of the rest even if some of those calls contributed to the failure Of this team to succeed and make it to the Super Bowl the Bengals had chances. It's hard to swallow You don't know, you know It's all emotion-based today. It's heartbreaking the way that things worked out All I can do today is follow What I've followed this entire season is Zach Taylor His lead through the preseason through the regular season through the damar hamlin situation as it was unfolding on the field Zach Taylor is such a good example of what I want to be and when it comes to these situations And he as you can see here did not take the bait and I don't want you guys to either And this is where your character is going to be tested the most in moments like this when it's fresh and raw and Um, you know, you were so close to winning aFC championship back the back Going to the Super Bowl on the road There's been a lot of obstacles thrown in front of this team. They knocked them all down and We just couldn't get past this last one here. And so again, it's just You know, we got great character and and we want to represent our team and our city the right way He could have we've seen him get a little feisty. He could have gone in And he didn't he chose not to it's so hard to get to this point as a team And it's such a huge letdown emotionally, of course, and you everyone saw him on the sidelines He was going nuts and now they go home empty-handed. He's not headed home to Cincinnati to go to some bar where he's going to give them the game ball I don't know this team Super Bowl window This is disappointing what's happening. They have a lot of guys to keep around They've got a lot of things to happen and I'll get into it more later this week This team is one that is set up to go Far to do their thing To be right where they are This year again next year and go even further. It's still just the beginning So take your shots today. Be upset. Drink a beer. Do we need to do like, you know Troll people on social media. Be mad at me because I don't want to like Low than bathe in the officiating be the only thing there are some weird things going on and you have every right to be upset Brenda Marshall I think they're telling me is ready to join the show. So we'll be here Waiting for him to join. I believe we have mr. I am athlete media mogul joining us. Don't go anywhere Let's welcome in a good friend. Not Jalen hurts though. I wish you know, you know Brandon Marshall joining us 13 year NFL pro and good friend of the show Brandon get on in here because you should be smoking a cigar as you picked This team to go of this fall The eagles we're talking about the Philadelphia Eagles When everybody said that Fly fly eagles fly everyone said that I was out of my mind for picking the the the Philadelphia Eagles week three Off to a hot start three and no you have Jalen hurts. Who is this kid? Can we believe the small sample size of five games? When when their guy went down and he stepped in his rookie year. We can't believe that, right? You know Yeah, okay, I see it. Well, I asked this I asked this morning for the shot of for the the clip Of you calling it. Do we have it? Oh no, you said it on our show. They're saying it's on inside the NFL Brandon, you said it on our show the first time you came on our show. You were all in on the eagles. I remember Yeah, yeah, I did but listen. I'll say it again, right? Jalen hurts This guy did it in college. He did it in high school. His father's a coach His dude's a true winner go back to his rookie year those five games It was not a it was not a flaw, right? This dude did it against some of the top defenses. Remember when he did that against the Saints They were top five defense But then other people say well, there was no drew breeze on the other side. Come on This dude's a true true baller and then when you look at the this this offense They can beat you on the ground. They can beat you through the air They have dynamic wide receivers. It really is a unstoppable offense. It's not the most dynamic It's not uh, the most uh, electrifying offense But what it is is efficient. Why because if you put eight people in the box Now you have one on one with the vante smith and also the black batman and aj brown So it's one on one and they're throwing the ball a lot of times a lot of teams have this type of makeup But the coaches are too smart The coaches make it about their offense and not about their players if you have dogs on the outside of x and z Just throw them a go ball throw them a slam throw them a hitch route throw them a nine What they want to do They want to do all these worldly turley routes and they just make it too complicated when you have freak athletes out there That you can just throw the ball up and then on the defensive side, you know You know that off that defense align they get after the quarterback and they can also stop the run when they really want to And they have great, uh, secondary players. So this is a a team that is unstoppable Unstoppable like they can go toe to toe with them the homes you saw last night granted They've got the offensive line. They've got the running backs They're they've been running all over everybody They did it against the number one defense in the Niners like you're saying to the Super Bowl no problem Even after what you saw yesterday, which wasn't that impressive. Let's be honest Yeah, so you're saying yes 100 percent. I mean, you know I just don't see anyone Presenting any type of challenges for any of those guys on the field at all at all What's more concerning to you for the Super Bowl? We know the matchup. It's set They've got a date in the desert during the Rihanna concert Hurts shoulder Or my home's ankle. What's more concerning for the quarterback? I would I would have said uh my home's uh ankle, right? That's why I was high on the bingles and my freaking parlay my my three three leg parlay didn't hit because Because the bingles didn't cover Oh, listen, I took the money line there and uh, you know, and it was because my homes I didn't think that he would be able to be that dynamic. He made big plays He was a true warrior and that wasn't a game There's a lot of athletes that you know go into a game You know banged up and talk it up in the media because they want You know the media to say look at him. He's a true warrior. He's fighting through it. Oh my goodness A legendary story But Patrick my home's dealing with a high ankle sprain like that's that's That's big-time pain right there and and and his pain tolerance is through the roof When he's running out to his left and landing on it, you know on one foot You know, that's a lot and uh, he was able to go out there not only make dynamic plays But he also threw his body on the line You know while he was dealing with that high ankle. So, you know, I would say uh, patrick my homes It's the is the favorite now right because he was able to do that all banged up It really is then you look at and look at that, you know Eagles game that you want to talk about How amazing they were and I mean their defense is killing it their run game and the defense has 78 sacks this season That's third most in NFL history like we should get that out people should be talking about that That's crazy 39 rushing touchdowns the most in NFL history for this year They're doing that and then the Niners team Brock it's her that's awful. It's a 12 game win streak You know and it ends them short of a Super Bowl game and now they got a look to the future So I don't want to lose you know, this is probably the last day we can talk about the Niners for a while Is we're going to focus on these Super Bowl matchup Brock Purdy, this is a ucl. This could be career changing right tray lance. He's coming off an injury next season Um, what did they do at quarterback next year? Like if Brandon Marshall is calling the shots are they?  So they have to make the right move Yeah, no, they stay with Brock Purdy, right? Like if he comes back healthy and everything's good and if it's not a tear He'll be back in six to eight weeks from what I'm reading Brock Purdy showed you his value yesterday by not playing when he's on the field Right, they win and they win Multiple games in a row when he's not they get blown out right and there was a lot of talk all year Well, that's the Kyle Shanahan system That's the defense. Look at all the people he has around them. Absolutely But if that's the case then how do they go into a championship game and get blown out when the guy Goes down that early in the game, right? So he showed you his value right there Um, is Kyle Shanahan phenomenal? Absolutely that defense Are they monsters? Absolutely. And do they have some amazing pieces on the offensive side? Absolutely But this kid was the reason why they were in that position And they need him back.  We don't know with the recovery So we'll keep our eyes closed. We have some breaking news to get to but I want your opinion on But I but I I need your opinion on this thing that happened Last night with 58, right? So the chiefs they they beat the bangle This is another Super Bowl for the Patrick Mahomes era and then Mahomes on one leg scrambles for the first down and it is it's so gritty And and this obviously happens and then you've got Jermaine Pratt I don't know if you saw this and what you hear obviously we see 58 58 He touches it. Look at look at look at this. Uh, this bite that I want to show you Let me see Do you guys have a sound bite? What's your question? That's I'm just just would like to know your thoughts about this because I saw your tweet, right? Your tweet said that 58 blew it but every you know, right? There's a lot of calls that went a certain way There's a lot of this Well, just what are your thoughts on this and with what Pratt said to him And if you were his teammate, what would you tell him after the game? Well, he said what we all would want to say I remember Ricky Williams Back in the day 2011 when I was playing for the Miami Dolphins. I was like Ricky You think something's wrong with me? And he was like no brandy You just say what we all want to say and shouldn't say right and that's exactly what this kid just did Every coach every fan every player on the field on the Cincinnati Biggles team Not only wanted to say that they probably wanted to slap him on the side as it But you can't do that, right? And so That's all we saw, you know an emotional player After one of the biggest moments of his football career Just wearing his emotions on his sleeves, you know, they'll get through this. It was a tough situation And at the end of the day, he's right He's 100 right. What are you doing? What are you doing? Okay? How do you do that? I don't know. What did you even if it wasn't the quarterback, what are you benefiting from that?  They do like that.  You can't Make those mistakes. You can't make those mistakes at all But it wasn't all on him. So people putting it all on him Like he blew it. He didn't blow the game and I'm very well plugged in at the Spingles fan base as you know Jamar Chase was tweeting he pointed out the 339s on Twitter The fan base straw and obviously the players they strongly feel that the Officiating contributed to the loss. How do you feel about that? listen Games come down to moments. We say that all the time, right? Oh, well, we lose as a team No, the reality is there's some players that can lose games. Hell, I drop game winning touchdowns before Once before playing against the Patriots, right? But it happens and we got to be honest with each other You know it comes down to three or four moments and when that moment happened You got to stand up and you have to make the play. He didn't make the play So he definitely contributed to it in a major way whether other plays Down the stretch stretch absolutely But that was a big big play because now you put them in field goal position You don't know what can happen with you know six seven seconds on the clock So I I don't want to hear You know that that wasn't a huge play. That's what we're supposed to say as teammates and uh, you know as an organization That's the right thing to do and if I was in that organization, I would say that but internally No, I would be feeling the same way We appreciate your time. Mr. Brandon Marshall. I will see you at Super Bowl Hopefully we'll be together in this same place, which is always a lot of fun and the breaking news I'm just going to tell you on our way out and we love you for hanging out Kelly Moore hired as the Chargers offensive coordinator already. He was like on the shelf for 20 seconds And brought back into the mixer. All right. Good thing for lefties in the national football league. Why not?


In Chrome 72, creating public class fields in JavaScript is now a lot cleaner. You can see if a page has been activated with the new User Activation API, and localizing lists becomes way easier, and there's plenty more. I'm Pete LaPage. Let's dive in and see what's new for developers in Chrome 72. My first language was Java, and when I started learning JavaScript, it threw me for a bit of a loop. How did I create a class or deal with inheritance? What about public and private properties and methods? Many of the recent updates to JavaScript make object-oriented programming much easier. I can now create classes that mostly work like I expect them to, complete with constructors, getters and setters, static methods, and public properties. Thanks to V8 7.2, which ships with Chrome 72, you can now declare public class fields directly in the class definition, eliminating the need to do it in the constructor. Support for private class fields is in the works. Head over to Matthias' article on class fields for more details. Remember when sites could automatically play sounds as soon as the page loaded? You had to scramble to hit the mute key or figure out which tab it was and close it. That's why some APIs require activation via a user gesture before the work. Unfortunately, browsers handle this activation in different ways. Chrome 72 introduces user activation V2, which simplifies user activation for all gated APIs. It's based on a new specification that aims to standardize how activation works across all browsers. There's a new user activation property on both Navigator and Message Event that has two properties, has been active and is active. Has been active indicates if the associated window has ever seen a user activation in its life cycle. And is active indicates if the associated window currently has a user activation in its life cycle. We'll have a detailed write up on developers.google.com slash web slash updates, shortly, so keep an eye out for that. I really love the Intel APIs. They're super helpful for localizing content into other languages. In Chrome 72, there's a new method that makes rendering lists easier. Like other Intel APIs, it shifts the burden to the JavaScript engine without sacrificing performance. Initialize it with the locale you want, then call format and it'll use the correct words and syntax. It can do conjunctions, which adds the localized equivalent of and, and look at those beautiful Oxford commas. It can do disjunctions, adding the localized equivalent of or, and by providing some additional options, you can do even more. Check out Matthias's post for more details. These are just a few of the changes in Chrome 72 for developers. There's plenty more. Chrome 72 changes the behavior of cache.addall to better match the spec. Previously, if there were duplicate entries in the same call, later requests would simply overwrite that first request. To match the spec, if there are duplicate entries, it will reject with an invalid state error. Request for Fabe icons are now handled by the service worker, as long as the request URL is on the same origin as the service worker. And of course, there's plenty more, so check them out. All the details, including docs and specs, are in the updates post linked in the description. Be sure to check out the latest Chrome DevTools video to learn what's new in DevTools. Then click the subscribe button and you'll get an email notification whenever we launch a new video. I'm Pete LePage, and as soon as Chrome 73 is released, I'll be right here to tell you what's new in Chrome.
