Well hello, well hello and welcome back to my channel today. We are gonna do a kitchen home haul I have been collecting some items that I've gotten from lots of different places I will leave links to everything down below and let's get on with the haul first things first I got something that I probably won't use unless I have a guest over, but it is a Little mr. Coffee maker. I believe I got this on Amazon. I will leave links below like I just said But this is a four cup switch a coffee maker I wanted a coffee maker that was white because kind of my design aesthetic is white and you will see that theme throughout this entire Video there's a few things I wanted to upgrade on and also a few things that I didn't have like a coffee maker So I'm excited. I got this and I will bust it out very soon when I have a guest that Wants to drink some coffee also the next item that's in a box that I didn't have is a toaster Randomly I didn't actually have a toaster. This is from the company Bella this is a two-slice toaster with extra wide slots and Yeah, you can fit thick breads and bagels in there, too I couldn't find a white toaster that I really liked so I decided to go with a stainless steel one I figured this will still look really nice on my counter But honestly, I'll probably end up putting it away because I don't eat toasted items every day So but again, it's just something that I feel like adults should have in their life is a toaster You know what I mean? All right, the next couple items are from world markets I got a really cute little trivet if you look up close. It kind of looks like a sunflower And it's got like little rubber padded feet, which I think is cool. It's very like heavy and substantial I really like that and I'm gonna put this on top of my stove and I just I really like this I have some other trivets that are just a cork But I just thought this would be really really nice for the stove and Something to put all my hot pots and pans on also kind of randomly from world market I got a little it's like a little sauce jar what I'm going to use this for for now is Putting my little scrubby sponge that has soap in it inside of here So it doesn't like leak all over the place like all over the counter So this was 79 cents from world market and I thought this would probably be a good thing to have Because I've been having that issue and it's been like not leaking on my sink But you know, it's like just getting like pools of like water and stuff after I use it So I thought this would be really nice to have and I got a bunch of white silicone tools There are a whole bunch of other white silicone tools that I have as well And these are the ones I got at world market So this one is like a little skimmer with a stainless steel handle I also got a little spatula also the stainless steel handle And I got a little flipper spatula with the stainless steel handle as well And I really like those I'm very excited about them. There's a whole bunch more These I got all from amazon and I will leave direct links to amazon down below If I can find any of this stuff from world market, I'll link that below I'll link just world market below too for you guys If for some reason I can't find the specific item Some of these are repeats because I did get a couple of each And yeah, so this is the I think it's Tobolo T-O-V-O-L-O This is the little pasta claw I did get two because everybody loves pasta and I like to have multiples of things sometimes I did get a little silicone fork for like flipping meats and stuff So I figured that would be good for that And then I got this. I don't know what brand this is. Oh, it's a good cook and it's like a It's like sturdier. It's not silicone, but it's like a sturdier heavy duty like a plastic In the full thing So I figured this would be nice as well to have an extra one of those And then I got this really inexpensive Two spatula set from amazon as well. And this is from the brand echo also From Tobolo. I got three of their silicone spoons. Unfortunately. I couldn't find any of the slotted spoons that were the white I can only find them in like purple and blue and stuff, but I love these I actually had these at my parents place, which I bought for them in the red And I really really liked them. So this was kind of the catalyst for me changing over all of my stuff And honestly, I have like a black cookware set that I've had for many many years And it's looking a little worse for the wear So it was it was time to upgrade all of my cooking utensils And the last two items I got from amazon were these bad boys the scrub daddy and the big daddy Um, I have had this before and I love it I actually left mine over at my parents place because it is such an awesome sponge And I saw this online too and I thought this would be kind of a cool thing for It's it's just a really big piece and you can cut it down the way you want it And I just thought this would be really really great for big jobs like your showers around or bigger things like that And I think I'm just going to leave this in my bathroom upstairs here And then this one is going to go in my kitchen sink. So I just love these and they're great I love these sponges. I also stopped at a local place. It's called the green barn If they have a website, I'll leave it below. I don't know if they do But this is a little decorative pot and I figured I was going to put some flowers in it and maybe put it in the middle of my dining table Not real flowers because I kill everything But you know, just some fake floral flowers Maybe I'll go to like michaels or something like that at some point and just get some greenery or something but actually Right now It actually fits all of my cooking utensils so far. Haha. Look at that And the last place I bought stuff from was William Sonoma and I know what you're thinking. You're probably thinking. Oh my gosh It's so expensive I did have a coupon code and there was a couple of things that I bought that were on clearance So that was good too. So I wanted to get a little bar set Um, I'm not really big into alcohol I do have some here and I have some wine, but I don't really have any like the bar tools So there was this cute little set and it was on clearance. Sorry.  This is a slotted Flipper as well with the stainless steel handle, which is beautiful. I also got one of these guys Um, I think they advertise it as like a pasta. Yeah pasta tongs. So you can Go like this like like that and I like that it has like a little slit in it too So like some of the water can come out Um, but then you just go like this and you tighten it back up and there it sits So I really really like that And then the last item I got was uh, it's it's like a slotted scoop but It has the aspect of a spatula, which is I thought was really interesting So again, this one is also from williamsonoma. I think this is really nice and Whoa, that is it for the home haul for my kitchen stuff Hope you guys enjoyed the video if you have any questions make sure to put them down below answer as many of them as I possibly can Again, I will try to find links for as many things as I can I can possibly find down below I know some of the amazon stuff, especially some of the white stuff Was down to the last couple at least from the buyer or the seller I bought it from So I may or may not be able to find them anymore But I will put the brand name and stuff in the description box below if you guys are interested So I'm very very excited to finally upgrade my kitchen and put all of my new stuff out I'm gonna get it all washed up tonight And I have it out on display. I think it's just gonna start completing the kitchen a little bit more for me Now that I've finally moved into my new home, but I am in a jet.

Hello everyone, welcome to another NARC's Vivalife video. I did say earlier that I was going to do another one later on, so here it is. And in this one, I am going to be talking about how you can make the narcissist want you more than anything. And when I say anything, I mean anything. If you want them to want you more than their own wife, their own husband, even their own children, the narcissist can want you more than anything in their lives. And I'm really the expert on this topic because I understand the psychology of a narcissist very well. Many of you may know, I have one video, it's titled How to Make the Narcissist Obsessed with You. And this is a video I created about three or four years ago. It's already amounted over 700,000 views, far more views than any other video on that topic. So I'm really the expert when it comes to making a narcissist want you. I can tell you exactly what you need to do if you want the narcissist to want you. But also, I must advise that I really recommend making a narcissist want you. I mean, it's not really good for you at all. It's not going to help you. It may seem like it's something you want in the beginning, but with time you will soon realize that they really are no good for you.  If I really wanted to, if I really put the effort in, I could make them want me more than anything. I mean, of course, I've done it before. And I am the author of the video with over 700,000 views, How to Make the Narcissist Obsessed with You. Which is, of course, only one of many videos I've done on this topic, which have all gathered a lot of views on YouTube and on TikTok. But despite that, I prefer to leave the narcissist where they are, where they belong, which of course is not with me. But I understand some of you may not be there yet. Maybe you do seek the narcissist validation and you just want them to want you. I completely understand that. But I must advise you to be cautious. Remember you are dealing with a narcissist, someone who can be abusive. They can be very destructive. They may try to harm you. So that's the disclaimer for this video. That's the boring stuff. Now we can get into the meat of it, of how you can actually do it. Or you can get the narcissist to want you more than anything. But what you have to understand first of all, it's not going to be in the way that you might want them. Maybe you're sexually attracted to the narcissist. You have these feelings for them. No, they're never going to have that for you or anyone else. They're never going to feel that sexual attraction, those intense feelings of love or lust. They're never going to have that for you or anyone else. And I don't want to get too deep into that in this video. I have done other videos on that topic already, especially live videos. So do check those out. But I can tell you that the way you feel about them, they're never going to feel that same way about you. It's never going to work out that way. But that doesn't mean that you can't make them want you. Because you can most definitely do that. Just not in a sexual or lustful way. And in fact, first you need to determine what type of supply you are to the narcissist.  Innocent, shy and withdrawn. But you're not openly sexual. You're sexually reserved. Because that will entice them more than anything else. But then also they might get bored of that. It might become too familiar to them. And your supply will begin to lose its potency. When that happens, you need to switch it up. You need to act like more of a secondary source.  But don't forget about what I said. They will never really lust over you or be sexually attracted to you. Sex to a narcissist is just all about power and control. And that's why when they start to feel like they're not getting so much power or control from having sex with you, they will typically withhold it. And they will line up a secondary source for those types of activities. And when that happens, that's when you want to act more like the secondary source. So instead of being shy and withdrawn and sexually reserved, you want to be more sexually open, more willing to try different things. And even then it's not all just about sex. Of course, you want to act in a way where it may improve their status in a social setting. Because up until that point as the primary source, you're really nothing more than just a source of security and stability. That's all that you really are to them. So in any case, really, whether you are the primary or secondary source, you've just got to identify that what you're doing right now is not working. It's not working for you. It's not making them want you. So if that's not working, you need to do the opposite. Obviously, if you do the opposite, that will work. So instead, if you are the primary source and you're just this long-term, sustainable person to the narcissist, you're just there for them when they need you. Just cook them food, clean their clothes. You've got to switch things up a bit. You've got to be more like a secondary source. You've got to be more fun. And what you could do as well is just start going out with your friends. That will really entice them and make them jealous. And they will start to see you in a different way. But you also have to be very careful when you do that. Because another thing that is very important to a narcissist, they want to feel like you are theirs and theirs only. Like to you, in your life, in your world, there is no one else that matters more than them.  This object that exists solely for their use. That is any narcissist's ultimate fantasy. In fact, their worst nightmare is having to share a source with someone else. If you want to make a narcissist lose attraction for you and to detach from you, just do that. Just entertain other prospects, other options. They will often forget about you very quickly. Because they want to feel like you're all theirs. That you only belong to them.  That's what narcissists want. But as I said, you can kind of tease them. There are little ways you can make them jealous. But just don't take it too far. Because if you do, it will cause a narcissistic injury. And they're not going to want you after that.  So be very careful when you're trying to make them jealous. Although that can be effective as well, it can make them want you. So yeah, all you have to do is identify what does this narcissist want? What is their dream? What is their fantasy? And just be that, because if you are not that and you're not satisfying their need for power and control then all that's going to happen is you're going to frustrate them. It's going to irritate them.   Because the last thing any narcissist wants is to experience any form of frustration. Any sense of loss of power or control. No narcissist wants that. They want to feel like they own you. Like you belong to them and don't need them. That is what a narcissist wants. Trust and believe when you get a narcissist in that type of situation they will be crazy about you. They really will.  But as long as they take action, as long as they reach out and grab you they have to do something to make it happen. There needs to be something to entice them, to motivate them. But it's not so much about playing hard to get. They need to feel like you are attainable. Remember Narcissus, they are pretty easy. They will settle for whatever they can get. So you don't want to make it too hard for them. They need to focus their attention on something that is easier for them. That is typically what they do. They need you to be susceptible to their manipulation. You need to validate the false self. You need to validate the illusion. If you are not doing that they are not going to want you. Why would they want anyone who doesn't validate the false self? I wouldn't make any logical sense. If you are not validating the false self they will just forget about you in an instant. And instantly their mind will be on someone or something else.  You need to fulfill that fantasy. And remember it's not so much a sexual or lustful thing so sex can be a part of it as well. It's more about power and control. They need to feel like they have power and control over you. And they need to feel like it's good for their image. As though it improves their social position. If you can do that they will be crazy about you. Of course it is definitely far easier to attain this level of obsession from a narcissist in the beginning. To get that later on it can be a bit more difficult. But that's not to say that it can't still be done.   Is it more of a primary or secretary source? And whichever one it is just do the opposite. Because clearly what you've been doing up until that point it hasn't been working to do the opposite. Maybe you were a source of stability to the narcissist. So instead of doing that start bringing more fun and amusement. Stop being so serious. And especially for those of you who were the long term primary source. Now this is very important. You really need to drop the ego. Because that is often what's standing in the way. Of them obsessing over you. It's because of your ego. And I'm not blaming you for that. I know of course they put us in a position when naturally we do become egotistical. Because we're trying to defend to protect our self identity. But when you do that it becomes a competition. It's like a power play between you and them. So you do need to humble yourself.  Because when you're egotistical I can tell you. It just repels them. It just pushes them away completely. Remember Narcissus they have to be the center of attention. They have to feel like they are the best. They don't want to be competing with you. They want you to worship them. To admire them. To shower them with excessive compliments and praise. But then even once you do that you then have to pull back a little bit as well. Because otherwise they will get too used to it and they will get bored. And then they'll start so you can supply from somewhere else. So there needs to be this hot and cold. This push and pull. You can't just be constantly on. Because if you're on all of the time they will get used to it. And they will get bored. Your supply will lose its potency. They will no longer be sensitive to it.  So that's something to keep in mind as well. If you're finding this video helpful please remember to give it a thumbs up down below. As it helps a YouTube algorithm to get this very important message out there to other survivors. It's very important please give the video a thumbs up. But yes this is what you have to do. If you want the Narcissus to want you more than anything. But remember it's never going to be in that way that you're thinking. In that way that you may want. Where they're lusting over you. The reality is.  As a person. It means nothing to them you're just an object. We are all just objects. That's all that we are. And we are never going to be anything more than that. And you are either an object that's in their way. That's taking the spotlight away from them. That's making them feel insecure. That's invalidating the false self. Or you are an object that is working in their favor. That's making them feel good about themselves.  So if you want the Narcissus to want you. You need to be a good little object. As patronizing as that may sound. That is the reality of it. You need to be a good little object for the Narcissus. But at the same time don't be too good. Don't let them get used to it. You need to pull back a little bit sometimes. You need to make them work for it. But you just got to look at it like this.  Because up until this point it's like the Narcissus doesn't want you. So you got to start doing the opposite. Whatever you've been doing up until this point. You need to do the opposite of what you've been doing. And a lot of times as I said it is down to ego. Many of us as victims when we're in relationships with Narcissus. We can become quite egotistical ourselves. Because the way they attack and lash out at us. We're just trying to protect ourselves. But the more that you hold on to your ego. It's just going to become a competition. They're going to constantly try to outdo you. And that's only going to distance them from you. And you don't want them to be distant. You want them to be closer to you. It's the best way to get them to be closer to you. So drop the ego for a moment. Praise them. Compliment them a little bit. And then pull back. Don't give them too much attention. Because that can turn them away as well. If they start getting used to it. They've got all of your validation. Of course if they've got it. They're not going to want it anymore. You're not going to want something that you already have. We want things that we don't already have. So you give them a little bit. And then you pull back. You give them a little bit again. And then you pull back again. And also you identify. But maybe up until this point. As their primary source you've been acting a bit serious. So you need to be a bit more playful. Start laughing. Smiling a bit more when you're around them. Start looking like you're having a lot of fun without them. That's how you don't even need them. That's going to cause them to become curious about you. They're going to want to know what's going on. They may develop more interest in you. If you show them that you can be happy. You can have a good time without them. They're going to want to see what's going on with you. And if maybe they can be a part of the action. But also another thing as I said is. Narciss. They want to feel like someone is theirs. They do not want to share you with anyone else. They want to feel like you are their property. Their object, their toy, their plaything. So those of you who are secondary sources. You may need to change up how you dress. Dress a bit more modest. Don't reveal too much of your body. When you're going out with them. And don't always initiate sex. Act a little bit more innocent. More modest. More reserved. So then it makes them make more of an effort with you. I mean you're going to know more than me. What you really need to work on. To make them want you more. Because it's really whatever you've been doing up until this point. There needs to be a balance. You can't just be all one way the entire time. You can't always be hot. Sometimes you've got to be cold. You can't always push. Sometimes you've got to pull. I can see in the live chat if anyone is interested in the topic of this video. There's really no reason for you to be here at all. I mean you're just kind of ruining it for the other viewers. I've already given a disclaimer at the beginning of the video. That I do not advise even trying to get the narcissist back. It's not something that I would personally do myself. But those of you who do want to do that.  You will have your own free will. You are allowed to make your own choices and decisions. And this is the information it is for educational purposes only.  That is your own decision. And I hope that you get the results that you are looking for by using it. But as for anyone else who is not interested in the content of this video. All you have to do is click off it. Just watch one of my other videos or another video on YouTube. Or just do whatever else you want to do if you're not enjoying this. If it doesn't vibe with you. But I am going to continue because I can see there's 166 live viewers. So people are clearly interested in this and they need this information. But yeah if you are finding it helpful please do give it a thumbs up down below as well. I can see there's 166 live viewers. Only 21 thumbs ups. It really helps the YouTube algorithm to get this message out there. So please hit that thumbs up button down below. Thank you.  And then do the opposite. But then don't do the opposite too much as well. There needs to be a balance. It needs to be hot and cold, push and pull.  Like you belong to them. You're their toy. They're a little play thing. And they want that because more than anything they want power and control. They do not want to be around anyone or anything. That makes them feel powerless or out of control. That's how they already feel. If you can make a narcissist feel powerful that will make them want you more than anything else in their lives. If they're married they will make them want you more than their own husbands or wives. More than their own children. If you can just make them feel powerful. But I am going to start hiding people from the live chat who are causing an interference for other people who are commenting. You know that's really what you've got to do. If a narcissist does not want you. Because they don't feel powerful. They don't feel in control when they are around you. That's why they don't want you. So you need to make them feel powerful. You need to feed in to the false self. The false reality and the illusion. The delusions of grandeur. Make them feel like they're the most amazing person alive. Do that for a little while and then pull back. Leave them to chase after you. But they're not just going to chase after you for nothing. You've got to show them that there's something to chase after. You've got to give them a little something first. You've got to give them compliments and praise. You've got to admire them. And then pull back to leave them wanting more. So that's all you've really got to do. And I can pretty much guarantee that this will work. I have one video. It's titled How To Make The Narcissist Obsessed With You. It has over 700,000 views. More views than any other video on that topic. So I'm really the expert when it comes to this kind of stuff. And if you want the narcissist to want you more than anything, all you've got to do is just follow the advice in this video. And I can almost guarantee that they will want you a lot more. So yeah, that's it for this one. I just like to thank you all for joining me on another Narcissist With You video. And don't forget to show your support down below.

It was more than just an insurrection. You know, it was like an indicator, an expression of something deep under the hood. This is American Issues Take Two. I'm Jay Feindell, and I have with me my co-host, Tim Appichella, we're going to talk about that today. Let me make a welcome to the show, Tim. Thank you, Jay. I'll make a little bit of an introduction. It was more than just an insurrection. What is happening under the hood? Something is happening. And I say that because it's so odd what we find is the likely result of these elections 12 days away.  They have not been broadly, widely prosecuted. Trials are still going on almost two years after the fact. And we have, you know, the top dogs have not been reached. We have the acolyte boys, they're still there. They're still embedded, where are they? But they're still there. You're still here from them. And Congress, they're, oh my God. We have the boys in Moscow. Never forget the boys in Moscow. We have the internet research agency. We have Putin and his friends and his oligarchs. You can say that he's under political pressure. People don't like what he's doing in Ukraine. But the fact is he's still running the show. He's still got the leverage of power. And he's still interested in having Trump win.  We're all being distracted.  There's a Department of Justice and the FBI should use. And all these, you know, potential criminal actions and civil actions and whatnot and how Trump could get dinged on them. And the expectation that the results of those legal proceedings will somehow go to affect the election in 12 days. So if we connect the dots, though, and we look back at 2016 and what he was doing in 2020, for that matter, they are, and what the news is today, the real news about the likely result of this election, the likely expression of power by Trump and his friends and his base, we're in for a bad time. We're in for a clear and dangerous autocracy. So was 2020 a replay of Putin's, you know, help in 2016? And will 2022, two weeks away, be a replay of 2016? So let me ask you some questions, Tim. Have the voters gotten smarter or not? I think a lot of voters have resigned themselves to go with the flow. I think they're burned out on politics. I think they have bread and butter issues that need their attention, inflation, the rising price of everything.  And the drama that follows politics has taken a back seat. I'm not gonna say they've become apathetic, but I'm saying they are distracted. And some are good reasons to be distracted and many aren't. Certainly you alluded to the little news blurbs here and there that distract us from the main issue. What is the main issue? I think it's one party's desire to retain power and undermine the electoral system that can switch power to another party if one party's not satisfying the needs of the people of the country. And I think there's the movement under foot to seriously damage and hamper our two-party electoral system. And- I mean, I'll throw the government, overthrow the constitutional government. I was gonna go there for a minute. I mean, Donald Trump is a self-described nationalist. Every time I think of a nationalist, I think of a soft-footed fascist. And I do believe that Donald Trump wants to move in the direction of turning our republic into a form of fascist dictatorship with him being at the top of it. And I don't think that's hyperbole. I've seen enough examples of it. Now in the last five years, connect the dots. You'll see exactly very similar things that every democratic society, as they turn into a more of an autocracy, you'll see the exact same things take place. You mentioned Ann Applebaum and her ability to define that slow move from a democracy, from a republic, into an autocracy and or a fascist state. Are we there yet? No. Are we moving in that direction? Certainly. We had a show with Carlos Suarez of the East-West Center a couple of days ago to discuss an article which was in Foreign Affairs called Is Democracy Dying? And it wasn't a question, it was a statement. Democracy is dying in Mexico under AMLO. And what's really scary is it's a playbook and it rhymes with what Trump has been doing, the same things. And he's moving clearly to autocracy. And one of the big factors in Mexico is using the military as the police. This is very scary, very autocratic. So let me ask you another question. In the past few years and more recently, has the media gotten smarter about digesting, interpreting and promulgating rather broadcasting, producing the news? Especially the news that's fed to it by people who are looking at the political machinations every day. Is the media gotten smarter? And the subset to that is, have we gotten smarter? You and me and national issues take one and two and Sir Crumpton shows. Are we more Akamai about appreciating the reality around us? Yes, yes, and yes. Yeah, I mean, the media has gotten smarter. No two ways about it. They do realize when they're being played by Trump or his acolytes, they realize it. They also realize that, when a candidate now starts to spin their political spin room, that they're starting to call it out a spin. Whereas before, they would never dream of calling it spin. Wasn't that long ago where it was forbidden for anyone in the media to out and out call a politician a liar? Well, they do it now. Not as often as they ought to, but they do it and they do it especially when Trump's at the microphone. They're more than happy to say this is an out and out lie and he's lying. Wow, 10 years ago, that was unheard of. So yeah, the media is sharper. I think the consumer of media knows a little bit more than they used to. In many ways, they know when they're being played and what kind of examples are being played. We talked about it on a previous show about polling. The media's love polling, because they could make it seem like a horse race down to the final wire and they're coming up around the corner and in the meantime, they get the ratings, they get more viewership and guess what they get to do? Play more commercials, more revenue. So I think the consumer of media is becoming more savvy. They're recognizing it and unfortunately that means they turn it off. And when they turn it off, that equals or can spell voter apathy. And that is the death knell, I think, of any republic. You know, let me take a moment from my questions that I have for you and just ask about not so much apathy, but fatigue. Fatigue, yeah. Fatigue. I mean, I was telling you yesterday that if I get 500 emails a day from multicolored HTML emails, asking me to give money to candidates I never heard of before in states I don't really care about or haven't cared about, I get tired of those emails. And as a result, I reject them all. I just, I delete them. As soon as I see the color, honestly, and the little tabs where I'm supposed to give money, I reject them and I turn them off. And I'm probably a good example of somebody who's- Yeah, but think about that statement.  Yes, I'm turned off from that email. And I am turned off from social media too, because I think there's so much trash on social media. My level of confidence, you know, that any given post is an accurate statement of anything is really low. And simply because so many of them are trash. And so two reactions. One is, I'm not alone. I am sure a lot of people are equally fatigued. And fatigue, if you agree with me, fatigue leads to apathy. It leads to lower voter turnout. In some states they're having high voter turnout right now today. We are all excited about, you know, a debate or all the publicity and some candidates are getting and all the scare they're getting and you know, the democratic media. But for the most part, I think a lot of people are turned off and they're not voting. There's not enough of this. I have no control over the result.  What do you think? Are we experiencing a significant, and I mean democratic fatigue here, democratic voter fatigue? Yes, definitely. And why is that? Because each election since the Obama era, each election had such high stakes involved. And it was advertised by the media as high stakes and both sides see it that way. And so that means that there's a lot of stress. And that means they're watching a lot more political news and that's stressful.  And I'm still surprised that the 2020 election had what an 80 million on the Democrat side and a 74, 75 million on the Republican GOP side for turnout of votes, the highest ever. And we'll see if 2022 is similar to that by early description, some of the early voting is off the charts compared to 2020 or even 2016. Don't forget, one great indicator of fatigue is your immune system and your immune system, it's not working quite right. It gives you psoriasis. That's right. It's Guy Rizzi. Guy Rizzi and Ren Vogue and a dozen others that we see, we're all experts on psoriasis. I mean, it's a joke, of course. And what it really is is the networks trying to make a lot of money or the cable networks. But the reality is I would guess that a lot of people have, you know, stress and therefore stress related diseases, not only because of COVID or the economy but because of the political news that comes to them. But let me go back to a question I asked you earlier. Has the media gotten smarter? It was my question. And, you know, you referred to the fact the media was more Akamai about when somebody was lying and they called it out. In fact, I remember a really interesting discussion of the public editor of the New York Times. The public editor is the one that watches the reporters and makes sure the reporters are ethical. Very important position and good for them for having a public editor.  Went back three, four, five years. And, you know, it was not universal, not unanimous.  But, you know, going beyond that though, you know, I'm just concerned that the media may not be giving us the priorities. Global priorities. I don't think, for example, they have taught the American electorate that when you compare gas prices against the liberal world order, the liberal world order is more important. But I don't think the American viewer understands that because the media hasn't made it clear. And there's a lot of other things about, you know, they say, oh, this is an election for democracy. But the media hasn't made it clear what happens to us if we lose democracy. They haven't given us examples of rights that we would lose of how our daily life would change. There's a lot I can get along. I'll just, I'll go to Safeway, buy some food. I'll be fine. I'll have my job. I'll have my bank account. Everything can be just fine. They don't realize or the media doesn't teach us that there are implications to losing your democracy. What do you think? Well, I think that would require a history lesson. It's not just the media's responsibility. It's the education system. It's our family. It's our community to remind us of history and why it was important. Look at our history and you'll see what happens when democracy starts to erode and you start seeing strong men start to march in lockstep with other strong men, something called autocracy or fascism. Maybe that's not the media's job but it's certainly important. And I'm just gonna go back to some of the sources of why we're in this pickle that we are. The newsroom used to be a nonprofit non-income revenue generator. It was a lost leader. It was a firewall saying the advertising should not make its way into the newsroom. Well, those days are gone. So now you have corporate influence. Look at the CEO of CNN telling all his commentators, telling everyone, don't use the term big lie. That's done with. What's that all about? As you'd like to say, Jay, Kay Pasa. Yeah, absolutely. And really I'm very careful about CNN now for that reason because that guy is running the content. Let me go to my next question. Okay, we've all had some years of experience on this since 2016, since the election where if you read Tim Snyder's book, The Road to Unfreedom, you find out that Putin was into it up to his eyeballs. And he made public statements about how Trump was his friend. He didn't do everything possible to get Trump elected with details, with names and facts and figures and all those names of people who got indicted and convicted. You know, I have a short list of them. I just read them to you. Flynn, remember him? Still around, Manafort. He was pardoned, stoned, pardoned. Giuliani, nothing yet. And there's others, the Carter Page, I think was another one of them.  And here's the thing, they were all engaged with Russia. And probably the most chilling thing in that Comey rules movie was where Trump tried to get Comey to lay off on Russia. And although, you know, you can't believe everything from that movie or from the book, Comey, I believe that, I think that's clear. He was really interested in separating himself from Russia. And ultimately he got Bill Bar to do that by misstating the Mueller report. That was really crisis critical. And the result is Trump felt that he had been excused from the whole Russia connection. But in fact, there were so many indications. And Snyder goes through this in his book. Trump and Putin were bonded at the hip and that they were each trying to help each other and that Putin was dedicated to help Trump win in 2016 with all of the resources at his command. No reason to think that Putin isn't doing exactly the same thing. He did it in 2020 unsuccessfully, but we saw the indications of it. And he's probably doing it right now. So my question is, over the past few years, has Trump and his co-conspirators, including Putin, had they gotten smarter about affecting the American electorate? I would say probably yes. Anytime a cockroach has a flashlight shine on, they scamper and they find cover. This is no different. In 2016, they found out, okay, we had all these Russian bots. We had all these influences of messages that were unsubstantiated accounts on Facebook and Twitter. And so they recognized that and they started trying to clean that up. Okay, well, where did the cockroaches scamper to? Dark money for campaign contributions. Is it dark money for ad contributions? Is it trying to infiltrate secretaries of state and prop up candidates? That way, trying to undermine our democracy and electoral system by propping up you know, lackeys and loyalists in those roles of government. There's a hundred different one ways to do this, Jay. And who knows at this point, what direction they've taken. But I guarantee you, they haven't left the building. The building has not been fumigated. Yeah, and you can say that Trump is having trouble with the Department of Justice and some of the courts and all of them about his Mar-a-Lago adventure. But on the other hand, gee, what a great way to distract the American public. It's a great reality show. And it's not clear where all of it goes. At the end of the day, you know, he's very good at escaping justice, escaping indictments, escaping the Department of Justice over so many issues and so many years. I mean, all the people who have sued him or called for criminal prosecution on him, he's Teflon, the guy's Teflon. And he's Teflon before he was elected. He Teflon during his election, Teflon after his election. You know, look, he got away with the Mueller report, got away completely. He got away with all those guys who were involved with Putin and Russia making deals for him and God knows what else and telling secrets, terrible, bottom of the barrel people. Well, even the Republicans had to take that Mueller report and admit there was overt Russian influence in 2016. They actually came out and said, yes, we acknowledge this. Now, you know, where were all the details? Well, you know, the report was so thick we forgot the details. But the fact that the influence was there in 2016 and I guarantee you, Donald Trump's involvement with Russia was there decades earlier. I mean, he's working with the oligarchs. Who are the oligarchs emboldened to? Putin. So is this a trickle-down system of, you know, Donald Trump making and getting loans from Russia on your favorable conditions and terms? And there's a sense of indebtedness to that or obligation to that. And that's well before 2016. And I don't think enough has been highlighted on that. I think some media shows have done a pretty good job trying to connect the dots on his obligations of financial commitments in Russia, but not enough. And I think those things still hang over Donald Trump's head. Well, I think they're still active. Yeah. If you look at that Tim Snyder book, you see that they were in a kind of love affair in 2016 and Putin was just as ardent as Trump was to get Trump elected and succeeded with all of these internet plays and social media, what have you. Don't forget, once he was president, don't forget Helsinki.  Yep. Okay, and then he gets away with the first impeachment. Thanks to, what's his name? McConnell. And Barr. And Barr. He gets away with doing all kinds of horrible, corrupt things and damaging the government, you know, like I believe permanently, permanently through his term and then he has the insurrection on top of that. And so far, he's gotten away with that. And he got away with the second impeachment. The guy's Teflon. And so it seems to me he's learned how to distract, change the subject, New York style. It's hard to get your hands on a slippery cockroach who runs away. And I think, you know, that playbook is still in play. My next question for you is, has the FBI and the DOJ and Homeland Security, you know, our primary first line of defense, you know, law enforcement agencies, have they gotten smarter? And before you answer, just remember that the insurrection was January 6th, 2021. And here we are going on two years and we're still watching the metronome tick day by day. And watching Congress have this, you know, so far unsuccessful select committee investigation and the metronome ticks day by day without any real result. I'm sorry, no real result. Distraction in every direction, but no real result. So my question to you is, has the FBI, the DOJ, Homeland Security gotten smarter? If they hadn't been, they are now. And I think no greater thing has set the alarm bell, ringing very loud in their heads right now is the documents, the classified documents that Donald Trump had at Mar-a-Lago. Some really serious top secret stuff. And all three agencies are going, what was he doing with those and what would he planning to do with those? Or what did he do with those? So I think they're awake now, I really do. Were they before? Well, yes, but they probably have, you know, like every agency, they have their infighting. And to what degree does Donald Trump still have his dedicated loyal staff fighting his agenda for him that are still in these agencies? We've done a show about that more than once.  Yeah, here's one we've talked about before a number of times and the media has talked about it constantly. So we have the possibility of indictments. Okay, we also have the possibility of a crashing result, terrible, terrible result in two weeks. And again, in 2024, in a lawless society with lawless leaders, the question is, does the possibility of these indictments change everything? If Trump was, you know, indignant on this, that, or the other thing or all of them, or is this some of them? Does that really change anything? Or are we being distracted by all of that? And is the reality something else? You know, and you have to, in that analysis, to factor in the appeals, the possibility that he will try to get this in front of the judge, he has appointed, that he will intimidate witnesses, intimidate judges, intimidate jurors, lie as and when he can. I mean, we assume that and use social media. And I go to episodes three, particularly in Rachel Maddow's ultra podcast where there was a trial in 1940 and the FBI had the goods, the Department of Justice had the goods, but the people who were on the right wing of things who were the racists and the anti-Semites and the ones who wanted to overthrow the government the State Department. Yeah. They were outside the courthouse chanting in favor of the defense. And they were in the courtroom chanting in favor of the defense. And at the end of the day, the jury, the jury acquitted a good number of them, the rest of them would declare to mistrial and the result is a perfectly good case of 17 people who wanted to overthrow the government walked. And I'm saying do indictments really change anything because you can have an indictment even assuming you can get an indictment which we've been waiting a long time day by day the metronome went back and forth. You've got to get to a prosecution, a conviction, a punishment. All this takes a long time and there's a lot of vagaries. We know how many ways Trump has escaped this in the past both civil and criminal. And I would factor one more thing in watch Elon Musk. And I do not trust that man. I do not think his sensibilities favor the national interest at all. And he is supposed to close on Twitter this week. This week supposed to. And if he closes on Twitter, he's made it clear that he's gonna let Trump get back on Twitter. And that's Trump's favorite and most effective platform. Though that is the factor in whether indictments or prosecutions can affect and what's gonna happen going forward. The rule of law, if you will. So we've talked about it before. I know what you've said, but I wanna ask you again, do the possibility of indictments really affect the result of the attack on our democracy? Yes, and here's why. We don't know how things unfold as the feature rose along.  But when it comes to the arena of politics and government, we don't know what unfolds. It's kind of like Texas Hold'em where you get one card and you don't know if you should bet on it or not but you do and then you get the card you wanted on the next hand. And so you have to start somewhere. You have to get the ball rolling somehow and the indictment is that first, if you will, those first three cards in Texas Hold'em and are you guaranteed success by no means? But you have to get the synergy, the ball rolling and things in nature, things kind of fall together. They come together and that may well be the case in the prosecution and possibly conviction of Donald Trump. It'll be a historic moment. No president, former president has ever been indicted. There'll be sense of awareness on that. There'll be a sense of historic grandeur, if you will. Now the MAGA GOP we'll see is a badge of courage. They'll mock it, but they'll see it as, you know, their fearless leader taking one for the team in order to implement his agenda for the good of all the nation. So it'll be perceived differently by different factions of this country but it's imperative that it begin and I think things will come together. And Donald Trump, although he is Teflon, even on the best of pants, Teflon wears off after a number of years. That's utterly quotable. That'll be on the final exam for sure. Okay, good. Yeah, well, okay. I mean, you know, you're kind of optimistic in that way. Two weeks from now, we'll know a lot more. And I was saying before the show, it's very hard to predict that you imply the same notion. It's very hard to predict what will happen here because there are so many variables that play, so many possibilities. And for example, you know, a couple of politicians, more than a couple, a number of GOP-MAGA politicians have said that if he's indicted, there will be violence. And... Okay, well, we've had that before. Guess what? Didn't get very far. You can't stop violence, but you sure can stop it from getting bigger. No, let me go to another question about that. I don't believe that there'll be another insurrection along the same lines as we had on January 6th. But I do believe that we'll have insurrection in other forms, insurrections in the state capitals around the country, insurrections... Yeah, it's happening now.  It's incredible. More and more of them, it seems like. So, and public officials all over the place who are sworn to reject any vote they don't like or any democratic vote they don't like. So I guess insurrections come in many forms, many flavors. Insurrections can be by these state officials, by appointees and acrolytes, by proud boys, and any number of other things. And where does that play in all of this? I think we have to broaden our definition of insurrection because one way or the other, the people, you can quote me on this, the people who are behind that insurrection on January 6th, the co-conspirators and the Willard and otherwise, and not only the boys at the bottom, but the boys at the top, they're still there. They're busy. They're still around. They're busy boys. So we can have another insurrection. We're probably having one right now in a different flavor. Do you agree? I absolutely agree that there are forces at work that are trying to undermine our existing form of government. There are forces at work that are very subtle, that aren't catching the headlines, but the placement of people at the right time in the right position, ready to act if need be to ensure their candidate wins. Now, does that mean we're gonna have a faulty election? No, but if you play chess, you know the game isn't won with the direct move. It's always the chess pieces on the side that enable the direct move to take place. And that's how you get checkmate. So like I became a chess here, the pieces are slowly being moved into place. And will there be a direct move? Well, it depends on who's winning. Okay, one more question about getting smarter. So we have seen Joe Biden operate for the past two years. And we sort of know how he does operate, where he comes from, that is a career in the Senate, you know? And we know how he handles things under pressure. We know how he responds to the attacks by the GOP and Trump, which are relentless. So my question to you is over the past, one of the almost two years, has Joe Biden gotten smarter in using the tools available to him, the levers of government and the levels of social media, the levels of his bully pulpit, his platform. Has he gotten smarter in using those things to counterman what Trump and the co-conspirators are doing? He has, he's gotten smarter in what the tools are, but he hasn't exercised his ability to use those tools to his advantage. And that's a problem. It's one thing to learn something, it's another to use it to your advantage and to win the day. I don't know if it's just by age or that he's distracted or he doesn't see the importance of what it is that is really under foot here. But he does understand now the power of social media. He does understand the power of multi-messaging that's constant, it's a blitzkrieg of messages and how that does influence people and undermine his agenda. You know, in that show I mentioned about the president of Mexico, the president of Mexico is really odd and ironic and does what FDR did back in the 30s. He has a fireside chat with people once a week that spends an hour or two with them just schmoozing on the media. And this has endeared him to his base. He's trying to create a base the same way that Trump has got his base. And Trump, you know, Trump talks to them in many ways. The rallies have multiple effects. They are in effect, I guess, along with the social media, Trump's way of doing fireside chats. So the question I put to you is Biden learned how to do that because I think you've got to bond up with the electorate. And here we are with these, you know, like pessimistic expectations for the election in two weeks. And I know that, you know, midterms don't favor the existing president, but, you know, could he have done better? Can he do better in terms of connecting with people of having that eyeball to eyeball fireside chat kind of influence on the electorate of pulling people away from Trump's base? I think there was a time when Joe Biden could do that and do that well. He could speak off the cuff. He could improvise. He could speak readily on a variety of topics and policies with the greatest of ease. Unfortunately, Joe Biden now is basically limited to a script and a teleprompter. And that's hard to have an interactive fireside chat when you're reading a script. I think partly is that his staff is worried that he's gonna say something that he ought not to, which he's done in the past, the second he goes off script. And I just think Joe Biden's mental acuity isn't what it used to be. And that's unfortunate because I think he has a lot of great ideas, but he's starting to show some frailty. Last question is to the extent that Joe Biden loses ground or the Democrats lose ground in two weeks from now. How does that affect the direction of life in Europe? The growth of autocracies in Europe, Africa, Latin America, and certainly China, which has its own development in autocracy. So if Biden loses, and if the Democrats lose, it's Biden's loss really in the elections coming in two weeks. How does that affect American influence overseas? And if there's a fragmentation of the EU and NATO, which it looks like that may very well happen and the growth of the influence of Putin, relatively speaking, in Europe, how does that affect Biden's chances going forward? It's an echo chamber. I think for 2022, it doesn't affect it much unless there's loud overtones about a retraction of commitment to Ukraine. That would be the tell-tale sign. And I think that would fracture EU and their dedication to supporting Ukraine. But I think really the big test would be if Donald Trump were to become the nominee of the Republican Party again. And if that happens, I think you can expect all sorts of fracturing of EU's commitment to trying to preserve their form of democracy and their form of parliaments and things of that nature. But that's 2023, not 2022.  The stock market is based on expectations. So Biden doesn't have to lose and Trump doesn't have to win. It's all what the policymakers, the influencers think will happen, whether it's time for that to happen or not. And I suggest that if these things sort of take the direction of Biden losing and Trump winning and Putin winning, people will act even though the ultimate has not happened yet. Like the stock market, yeah. Well, and I just like to say that, you know, in the midterm, it is often expected that the House will swing to the other party. I mean, it's not unusual that that happens. So in this case, if it does happen, it's not a real statement about Donald Trump's influence. It's kind of a natural course of events. Now, if they lose both the Senate and the House, then, you know, that's more of a dramatic statement. But certainly the loss of one House, the House of Representatives, I don't see it as a cataclysmic event. It's a natural course of politics. Okay, last question. You know, the Democratic press, MSNBC, it's at some extent CNN. And for that matter, to some extent, the BBC and Shepard Smith, you know, all express concern over these distractions, what we see and the fragmentation and the chaos and the political chaos, you know, more and more revealing itself. But I can see, and maybe I'm asking you to look too, into what happens after this election, when the Republicans win at least one House and maybe two, and then you have the press trying to react to that. And the same newscasters that we see every day, now they're wringing their hands and they're saying, oh my goodness gracious, what's gonna happen? And they worry too about the First Amendment. They worry too about the future of the FCC and the freedom of the press, especially the big media and the ownership of the big media. All these are complicated issues. So what you thought about what happens to the press if the worst case analysis comes through, what are they gonna report on? What are they gonna say? What are they gonna focus on? And I suppose they can sell a lot more psoriasis medicine.  How will the press be covering it? Okay, that's it, the ringing of hands. What I'm getting tired of the press doing is the ringing of hands, which becomes the prediction and the prediction becomes the advice towards a candidate or his advisors. The media has to stop playing the role of predictor and or advice giver. And that's the problem with not just reporting the news, that's the problem of trying to mix the news with commentary and editorial. So believe me, Donald Trump watches a lot of news. And guess what? Sometimes he picks up on the ideas presented on MSNBC and their guests and CNN and their guests. So yeah, hand-ringing is a natural occurrence from after any election, but get over it and start reporting the news and stop making predictions of what will be versus what might be. Okay, and I suppose here on this show we are not gonna do any hand-ringing. Well, we're not gonna do too much. We'll soak our heads in cold water but we're not gonna do any hand-ringing.

The People's Democratic Party reps caucus has issued a three-month ultimatum to the federal government to normalize the seriously deteriorating security situation in the country. This resolution is coming after more than three hours of closed-door meeting with the members of the caucus where silent issues concerning or salient issues concerning the unity of the party as the House prepares for resumption. Speaking after the meeting, the minority leader and leader of the caucus, Honorable Kingsley Chinda, emphasized that if nothing is done, after three months ultimatum expires, it will take steps to sensitize or mobilize Nigerians to take their security in their arms. Longer to take this situation, where Nigeria is today almost at as one life, one minute silence. The government is therefore called upon to immediately take steps to ensure that the security situation in the country is normalized. And the caucus has also given three months ultimatum for government to normalize the security situation in our country. After three months, the caucus will take four less steps to sensitize and mobilize Nigerians to perhaps take their security into their hands. The House of Representatives caucus also agreed to call on all party caucuses, the Board of Trustees, National Executive Committee and the National Working Committee of the party, to embark on reconciliation measures. While calling on the party leaders to demonstrate on conditional loyalty, Chinda says the PDP caucus in the House of Representatives remains united and indivisible in performing head duty as the watchdog on behalf of the Nigerian people.


He is a very polarizing figure in the NFL So any move that he makes any action that he takes It's gonna get looked at and it's gonna be all eyes on him and it was no different yesterday When he took to Twitter and posted himself in a Ravens jersey Now that does not mean that the Ravens were talking to him That does not mean that the Ravens are interested in him Like I said before in the last video and like I said before two years ago And he was doing the same like he did the same thing two years ago He posted himself in a Ravens jersey two years ago as well So this isn't the first time that he's done that but I just I don't think anything will happen from it I don't think the Ravens are gonna sign them I don't think the Ravens are gonna bring him on but it's just been funny. It's been really funny and AB is you can call them a lot of things But there's never a lack of entertainment when it comes to one Antonio Brown especially when he toys with Ravens fans because he knows like from I am athlete Like they see this is how he knows that he got everybody Because he went on I am athlete and of course Brandon Marshall asked him. Okay, which quarterback would you play for? He said Lamar Jackson and and that was toward the end of that hour-long interview But then on top of that I am athlete They have a separate YouTube channel where they just post clips up from different interviews and whatnot and That that just so happened to be the clip that they decided to use was him Giving flowers to one Lamar Jackson and him saying I want to play for Lamar Jackson Then of course when that interview came out it went crazy online Everybody saw it and everybody. Oh, hey, Peter the Ravens could have happened and everybody. Well, not everybody, but Antonio Brown Ravens fans are not It's it's very rare to find somebody that's pretty neutral on him Because usually with Antonio Brown people either would love the idea if he comes to the Ravens Or they would hate the idea if he was in Baltimore It's usually the one or the other and then they again like I said There's some that's right in the middle that are like, oh if it happened, okay, cool if it didn't happen Okay, cool And cuz he cuz it's him. It's him and we know everything that comes with an AB You know all the possibilities that come with an AB But I don't think it's a possibility that the Ravens bring on a be like I said anything's possible till it ain't possible no more But I just I don't see it happening at all But it's fun to talk about it's fun to imagine because there's one side. That's like For the people that would be thinking about bringing on a B. There's one side. That's like, hey, oh What about our young wide receivers? Hello if you bring on a B He's gonna take away catchers from that guy from that guy from that guy from that guy from that guy and the guys he's speaking of would be from Devin Duvenay from James crochet from Miles Boykin because those would be all the receivers that would be Below a B so to speak On the depth chart, but then you got the guys to who also have a good point But isn't a B like like this guy is Stat wise he's a Hall of Famer and this guy. Yeah. Yeah, he's past his prime But he still is a really good receiver So I would expect a really good receiver to take away Catchers from our other receivers not to say that they aren't good, but they not they're not a B They're not a B and know they haven't reached their potential yet. They haven't tapped their potential yet So that's that's still to be determined what their level of potential is and if they'll even reach it With the Ravens because you know Ravens and receivers and potential and I mean anyway So and then there's another crowd too and this is the most this is the funniest crowd that the crowd that Was that and it's two sides to this crowd and I and I one thing I appreciate so much man Thank y'all to those of y'all that don't take everything so seriously. Thank you Thank you. Thank you that amongst all of this a B talking this and that people Amongst the craziest situations the people that can joke about stuff. Oh, those are my favorite Those are my favorite when when stuff is going crazy stuff is going haywire Everything's going wild and the people that that's when a lot of people come up with their most creative and their best jokes and I've been seeing so many people say oh If maybe we should sign a B to a one-year deal because if we sign a B Then imagine a presser the imagine the way that he would call out Greg Roman and they say oh, I seen some people say you see Greg Roman he's up in the booth now if a B was on a team that he would put his vault on their booth So a B could not come in because if a B wasn't getting some some passes on his way A B was set it off He was set it off But then there have been some people that say hey, but if if he did set it off Then that could raise the chances of him pushing Greg Roman out the door You know a lot of Ravens fans they want Greg Roman to be exiting from the team And of course the team has been very hush hush on Greg Roman. It's almost like in Kanto Well, we don't talk about G roll. No. No, because they haven't said a word about Greg Roman We've heard about Harbaugh now from yesterday. He's expected to sign his contract extension We heard about wink from last week. He was let go. Oh, well, he decided to leave. They decided mutually to part ways But we haven't heard a peep about Greg Roman so Everybody is expecting Greg Roman to stay but at the same time Everybody was expecting wink to stay too, but so so we just got to wait it out in C but back to a B One thing about him Some people say that oh man if a B was in Tampa Bay Complaining about his targets even though he said it wasn't about his targets. So anyway They said if a B was in if he was unhappy with his targets with the Bucks then imagine how unhappy he would be with the Ravens and I thought about that and I disagree Not that he wouldn't be unhappy about getting targets, but I just I really don't think him getting targets would even be an issue and let me tell you why it's because Sammy Watkins is from Florida. He's from Florida And but he he was never a complainer. Anyway, that's not Sammy Watkins. He Sammy Watkins is not somebody. That's very Vocal, he's not somebody that's very animated on the field He does this thing. He'll celebrate and whatnot if it's a good player what now, but he's not somebody That's like outspoken like that and I'm not saying that's a bad thing at all. That's just his personality on the field a B he's somebody that's definitely outspoken both on and off the field, but I would not foresee that being an issue with a B if It's not gonna happen, but if he were to join the Ravens, why? because big trust because South Florida because Lamar Hollywood like Lamar's cool with Watkins, you could tell they were cool But it's different with Lamar in Hollywood and it's different with Lamar and a B Because again take to just taking you back a couple years when the whole a B thing first started back then Lamar was very vocal About wanting a B on a team. He straight up said it. Yes, I will love for Antonio Brown to play with the Ravens Lamar Jackson said it He said it and Then you got other people that weren't supportive of it as well Of course, you saw I know y'all saw yesterday those of y'all that are on Twitter You saw Marlon Humphrey, but the little eyes emoji you saw Patrick Queen But the little eyes emoji with it with Antonio Brown's tweet One person that I didn't see put it was Josh Oliver though because I know he was probably feeling offended like man Y'all don't like whoever made this photoshopper Antonio Brown in a Ravens Jersey. Why y'all had to use my jersey number? I'm 84 and I'm still part of the team right now At least to the new league year. We'll see what happens moving forward But it just it is very funny man, but anyway Lamar and then oh man Lamar even put the little smiling emoji Over that tweet of a B in the Ravens Jersey. So I'm sure a lot of Ravens players They wouldn't mind They wouldn't mind it, but it just something that I just don't see like happening at all I don't think it's gonna go down at all. It's fun to talk about it's fun to think about it's fun to wonder like What if What if but anyway back to what I was saying? I don't think a Lack of targets would be an issue for Antonio Brown simply because Lamar Jackson He loves Antonio Brown He got a lot of love for him He obviously got a lot of love for for Hollywood and you see Hollywood doesn't have a lack of targets He only his his targets start going down and his um Everything just everything really started going down for Hollywood Because we know he was on pace to get a bunch of yards like maybe thirteen hundred fourteen hundred yards He was on pace to have his best season ever and technically he did have his best season ever But toward the end of the season it became very underwhelming His yards per game went down his yards per target went down, but his QB one also went down So I know a lot of people they they say whoa man Hollywood everything went down for him What happened man? They fell off in the second half of the season man. What's going on with that man? He didn't have Lamar And Lamar obviously He has that connection With Hollywood So that's why everything changed once Hollywood. I mean once Lamar went down But my point with all that is that he also got that love that South Florida loving him No, he ain't supposed to show favoritism on the field, especially as QB one You got to pick the best option you got to go through your progressions But I'm sure that AB would be high on the list of progressions Because there is Mark Andrews who's obviously Wide receiver one for the Ravens. That's that's Lamar's number one target There's Hollywood and you could call him 1b Mark Andrews 1a Hollywood 1b because you know Every game those guys are going to get their targets. It's a fact. It's a given you already know But if AB was on the team too Oh, you know Lamar would look his way You know, he would you know it And you know, AB would kindly remind Lamar. Hey I'm open I'm open and you know, he would do it with that ab smile too Oh man, the things that could have been the things that probably should have been a couple years ago, but That's okay Raven. It's okay And now I know a lot of people too one of the people one of the a lot of people's hangups with antonio brown Is a possible contract. What if antonio brown spazs us out on the ravens like he's done with the the bucks A couple weeks ago about a month ago like he did with the um that whole raider situation Like he did with the Steelers, but then then you see that other this is why again with all these crazy situations that happen I always appreciate the jokes Because you saw the meme that somebody made that antonio brown also posted they were like, oh man, hold up Antonio brown was right about everything that he said Because you got juju. He talked about juju. He talked about john gruden and all that Uh, he talked about the bucks and Anyway now If your hold up for antonio brown Is the legal cases I got no argument there at all none zero I feel you on that no argument at all Um, but as far as everything else, um Everything else is just it's just very interesting. Um, but antonio brown Clearly let continues to let it be known that he would like to Come to the ravens shout out to malin Humphrey and and ravens They continue to let it be known that um, well some players Not the front office, of course They were they continue to let it be known that uh, they wouldn't mind him coming now as far as um, and I know it's a lot of ifs And again a lot of these ifs probably won't happen Um, but if he was to go to the ravens a lot of people would be concerned about his contract and again Like I said earlier, what if he flipped out? What if he started tripping? What if something happened? Like we said two years ago Same thing if the ravens were ever to sign antonio brown again, which they they're not Well nine times out of 10 at night. Who knows what could happen on that tenth time out of 10 But if the ravens were to watch the sign antonio brown They like we have said before they could sign him to A contract one year deal with no guarantees Or if you put any guarantees in there, it'd just be crazy low guarantees One year deal that would not have no crazy salary cap implications Be super cheap be so just super easy that and then that's it. That's it That's it. It ain't got it would not have to be anything crazy not any anything wild. No that's it that's it So it's a a b to the ravens It really wouldn't be that complicated. It really wouldn't be But um, it is one of those things that it's just It's not gonna happen Um, just like I wish my dog pookie would just stop messing with everything during this video She done moved the camera over to the right. She done moved the microphone I know y'all saw the microphone moving, but I'm still sitting here standing still That's her So Pookie come on. Come on. Let's let's just say what's up to everybody.
