What's good George Boros back out again with another video. So we're gonna check out how Adam would book the year of MJF This should be a very good one I hadn't checked out a booking Episode or video from Adam and quite some time, but I'm very interested to see how he would book the year of MJF I think this would be pretty Fantastic, he's usually pretty good with his booking creative idea So I really want to see how he will book MJF and where things would go man MJF time is is upon us at some point. Hopefully before this years up. He will be AEW world champion. Let's get right into this one. Appreciate our love and support me. I go subscribe to parts one parts one known and show them some love man It's possibly the best professional wrestler in the world based on a certain understanding of Professional wrestling first of all he's good at moves You could tell what a wrestler is good at moves because they could do a kip up But for real his match with Darby Allen at Thorgo 2021 with Loki won the matches of the year That's not why people love MJF. Hi, I'm Adam by the way hailing for parts one known as Adam People love MJF because he is committed not necessarily to a w but to himself He has the clearest most Defined character in a company whose characters aren't always hugely defined in the land of super kicks MJF Talks and works and it has worked Since day one no matter what you wanted from AEW if you were a fan of AEW's gritty real sports presentation with its rankings and its points MJF was out there Negotiating contracts per my locking his competitors out title shots If you like soap opera storytelling then MJF versus CM Punk was one of the most nuanced Melodramas that wrestling is produced in years if you like silly funny AEW then MJF was out there kind promos on virgin fans and providing a sense of Classic pantomime villainy MJF's always been this bright shining Throwback wrestling archetype elevated by two things MJF's own Unbelievable charisma and also that he has the most simple comprehensive K-fabe Yep in all of wrestling. It's so simple, but it runs to so many hidden depths He's better than you and you know it. He has never changed. He has never done that about face turn Reveal, I mean right now.  He knows he's mega over and he's taking advantage. I know He said it on the on multiple interviews as a reason for I got devil worshipers. They worship me. I know that Don't give a fuck It's what I do and it works it fucking works I mean even his initial heel turn was more of an inevitability than a surprise like everyone knew MJF was a Snake they knew he was going to turn they knew what he was really like and what he has always been really like for years every feud he's had has a Gone on a little too long if we're honest and be they all feel real Relatable and you always are desperate for MJF to get his Cody Rhodes Darby Allen Chris Jericho See impunct wall blow it's all gold every step of the way of Jeff is consistent and has been a W's best Original character him and hangman page probably which is why a he needs to be the next day W world champion and be it needs to be all about how he's gonna leave AW see everyone knows of the ructions between MJF and Tony calm But a quick recap for context for the rest of this story for months before Outlets reported tension between MJF and AW management largely built around money Money with MJF initially not being offered a large pre negotiation pay rise with his contract expiring in 18 months Coupled with a raft of new former WWE signings in 2021 each being offered considerably higher starting salaries and MJF starting salary, which was apparently between $40,000 and $70,000 which is it's for a wrestler That's not very much MGF whose character has always blurred the line between reality and cafe started Going rogue he did AW say so became more and more outspoken online with it coming to a dramatic head around double or nothing this year with MJF No showing a meet and greet at AW fanfare for double or nothing with it seeming suddenly a distinct possibility that he might know show Double or nothing AW's version of WrestleMania and he might not turn up to his marquee match against the diesel to his Sean Michael's Wardlow and it's up for Wardlow whose rise to the top was tarnished by all this drama MJF did show up. He did do the job and then he cut a pipe bomb trademark where he called Tony Khan Admittedly this was very funny a F***ing mark easily It's it's going to be a promo that lives on in infamy People are gonna be talking about this promo 20 years from now It was one of the best promos we have seen In so long The lines of reality what's real what's fake Completely blurred begged him to fire him and then disappeared for months was taken off the roster page His merch was removed like they really committed to this bit He returned it all out was handed the joker ship without wrestling nice touch Yeah has ascended to a very strange position in that he is a Prick he's still a prick who calls himself salt of the earth which was originally Ironic because he's a privileged who buys his way out of every problem But in the wake of all this stuff that's kind of come out about AEW in the wake of Cody Leaving in the wake of the EVP's getting into a fight with CM Punk a top champion Who seems to openly hate working for a company used to lavish with praise in a time when? AW is in a bit of a PR crisis with a backstage system that's emerged as chaotic at best and toxic at worst then MJF's tenure with the company and also the fact that he basically Quit for a bit rather than deal with all this Bulls it's elevated him to being unironically kinder the salt of the earth his consistency and a sudden surge of feeling that about AEW CM Punk and himself MJF was right. He's emerged as one of the last true bridges between the current slightly messy slightly scrambling AEW and the assured Confident AEW of years ago ironically for a man who's been the most vocally anti AEW all year He along with John Moxley. It's the biggest AEW guy. They've got he facts, bro. Yeah outside of John Moxley He's like there is MJF and that's why I say I understand why they went John Moxley as the champion MJF being the guy to hold the chip potentially cashing in on John. It just makes sense John Moxley they in AEW they love him, you know saying and understandably, so he is their top guy and MJF right now He's the guy, bro.  He's going to make you care needs to be the next champion needs to the throne John Moxley soon Is why it's a good idea. It's John Moxley not Brian Danielson Yeah, it's a long reign to bring stability back to the company 2023 it's gonna be the year of MJF. How should it happen? Let's get into it man. Let me have a go. I'm better at booking than you He's to go there booking right now MJF versus John Moxley for the title takes place at full gear because of course it does the paper He was taking place in New Jersey, which is close enough to New York close enough to MJF's home people and the feud is simple Moxley is the champion the AEW needs MJF is the champion the AEW deserves. Why are you even here Mox?   It's a quick fix. It's a happy face sticker plastered over a widening crack in a foundation AEW needs to suffer For what it's done and I'm going to make it suffer Tony got scared Tony realized he was losing control of his locker room. So Tony Invited the devil into his house and he'll wish he never did.  All right. So quick thing before we talk about full gear. Let's talk about the thumb. I do I just Know what I think it's an interesting idea after the inner circle and the pinnacle sort of just ending MJF having a faction on tap that he pays for who will do what he wants, but he's not really in that's it's interesting Yeah, on the other hand the firm Kind of sucks right now existing solely to help another man is cool for that man But it's kind of lame for everyone else in the group Like I know they've said what they all want that I actually have wait. No, I actually have no idea what W Morrissey wants and Evidently neither distantly half the way, but it's they're all so disparate. It feels lifeless Uncohesive and not really much to do with MJF. So I'm not going to use it So I'll be firm in the lead up to full gear the firm beats up John Moxley But mocks managed to get them banned at ringside by beating W Morrissey in a match So that they feature in the story, but after that we move our separate ways MJF versus moxley's one-on-one You want this belt mox says you'll have to beat me like a man also side note before full gear MJF shouldn't wrestle a Single time at full gear MJF wins but he wins cheap the ref goes down mox hits the death rider Visual win, but mox grabs the diamond ring from his tight hits John moxley, but only gets a two He grabs mox up puts him on his shoulder and hits him with a go-to sleep covers mox One two three MJF MJF cuts a promo with a belt on dynamite where he establishes because I imagine people will cheer for his win at full gear He's still very much a heel. He did not do this for all the AEW smart marks He did it for the one thing he actually cares about Money money again and to see Tony's face when he sits across the negotiation table when MJF tells him You either pay me the most money out of anyone in this company scratch that anyone in this industry If you don't I am taking your belt to the Fed because I will never Lose this title mox and MJF have a rematch you want to fight dirty then welcome to my world says mox at winter Is coming MJF versus John moxley lights out typical death match But towards the end of the match two giant men enter the ring through the crowd they turn reveal themselves to be Lance Archer and Brian cage two men who can also claim to have been passed over by AEW in favour of former WWE guys two men who have been made promises that have since been broken. They kill John moxley They literally write him off TV break his arm break his neck something truly Not break his neck 4th of January 2023 dynamite MJF introduces himself and his heavies once upon a time. I was happy to be the pinnacle of AEW I didn't realize that's the same as being the world's most hygienic wrestling fan It's a statement that amounts to practically nothing. We are no longer content to be the pinnacle of AEW We are the intervention that AEW so Desperately needs he announces this will be the year of MJF.  Didn't you the devil? Never forgets this is my updated contract This entitles me to set my own terms for the duration of my stay in this Amateur promotion so this is a message to the locker room take a number boys and try your best But here's the sitch You get one shot at the champ one you tell me when you're ready But if you lose you are done You don't get to challenge me again for as long as I am AEW champion owner one more thing this offer This title match offer. It's open to whomever I deem to be AEW talent Against someone from over there because if one of you idiots actually looks into a W on the best thing going and it's gonna Be an AEW guy because somehow Some way I care more about this place than Tony does I'm gonna hold this title forever and if my demands aren't met at the negotiation table at the end of the year I'm gonna take it and I'm going to defend it in the main event of wrestle man Oh This is this is fucking good. I like this. I'm Maxwell Jacob Friedman and I'm better than AEW and you know it Oh, that is the brief for MJF title run yet one chance No one can challenge for the title more than once he is going to burn through all of AEW's homegrown talent in a weird Love hate relationship. He has with the company one that kind of mirrors the idea of MJF that he hates AEW yet he gives the company his best work He wants to prove he is better and worth more than every AEW guy But if he's going to be beaten he doesn't want it to be by a former Fed guy. He is a complicated man He is the salt of the earth first up MJF versus Eddie Kingston Off the back of MJF crippling Moxley first up to few with him is Eddie not necessarily an AEW original But someone who did indeed rise to a more mainstream level because of the promotion someone who's occasionally Taken on the mantle of AEW locker room leader. Also Eddie Kingston MJF promos Yes, please. Yes. Yes to all of it. MJF retains at revolution with the intervention of The intervention to get it next up at double or nothing MJF versus Wardlow one year on from their exhibition squash one year on from all that drama MJF agrees to face Wardlow for the title on one condition that he vacates the TNT Championship because when MJF beats Wardlow at double or nothing. He's going to be left With nothing because without MJF being in Wardlow's world. That's precisely what Wardlow is Nothing. MJF retains through a series of shenanigans Lancer and Brian Cage hold Wardlow and MJF just hits him over and over and over again With the diamond ring ten times in fact one for every power bomb MJF took the year before earlier in the show Brian Cage and Lancer to win the tag team championships the intervention has all of the original titles From when AEW began next up after conquering Wardlow in the latest foreshadowing and parallel between MJF and a certain Second-city Satan and if you haven't seen these parallels already then I don't know how many more pipe bombs MJF needs to cut for you. MJF he declares a summer of MJF and he's gonna prove what he's known all along He's gonna do a victory lap. He's gonna defeat every single member of the four pillars of AEW concept he created a concept He's going to destroy he defeats Sammy Guevara at fighter fest jungle boy Jack Perry at fight for the fallen And then on the road to all-out he feuds with Derby Allen MJF tells Derby that he's only been relevant when he's faced MJF CM Punk or by tagging around with that walking skeleton sting now at all-out Sting helps to run off the rest of the intervention when the ref goes down and after a Full year away from AEW Cult of personality hits and CM Punk returns in Chicago. Yeah Yeah, punk returns to the pay-per-view where he debuted against Derby Allen to the pay-per-view where MJF stood up the ramp from him and prophesied doom a year before and he picks up Derby Allen on his shoulders hits him with the GTS MJF retains with the help That's great dynamite punk and MJF come face-to-face in the ring the first words that punk ever said into a mic against MJF with the words. I am so disappointed in you punk's first words into a mic to MJF after a year off I am so Proud of you.  Yeah, bro. They got a plan to he can't be like, oh guys I'm great to be back.  It's just not gonna work It also goes deeper than that. MJF is telling truth to power just like punk did punk left WWE in January 2014 10 years later to the month Punk will help MJF do the same in AEW because this company sucks as punk Better the devil, you know, we'll be out of here Thanks for the money idiots with punk outside That's when you run MJF against the next two people that kind of last two bastions of AW hangman Adam Page and Kenny Omega MJF versus hangman page at Grand Slam because now page really is Defending AEW from punk and MJF. This will hopefully feel a little better in a year's time Hopefully really sorry Colt Cabana about all the things so page loses then finally a feeling of last chance to loon at full gear one year on From MJF winning the title the last pay-per-view of the year this sentiment that's been building for this entire year We have to get the title off MJF the entire locker room is gathering around Kenny Omega the champion of AW The man at the heart of it all the man whose match against Chris Jericho was the starting gun for all elite wrestling The man who in all the horrible mess surrounding punk at all out his chief Contribution was apparently saving punk's dog This is Kenny Omega during the match the entire locker room swarms the ring to help take out punk and the intervention They run them up Omega hoists MJF up for the one-winged angel, but MJF nails them in the head with the ring Kenny falls MJF lands on him pins Omega one two Three the last chance is failed. MJF takes to the mic in the middle of the ring. He calls out Tony Khan. I've done it all I've been I've beaten them all all the AW originals now. You'll have to pay me all The money in the world or I am gone and I am taking this title With me out comes Tony Khan Congratulates MJF but reminds him they still have one big event left of the year winter is coming And he's had to pull out All the stops because desperate times call for desperate measures and this Is where we get truly fantasy booking with it bear that in mind I'm just doing what excites me the most from a storyline perspective as soon as Tony says that the lights go out silence Wrestling has more than one royal family. Cody Rhodes returns To aw and he's gonna do it. This is super fantasy night only at winter is coming MJF The man who betrayed Cody in order to enact the stipulation argues that Cody can't challenge for the aw title That was under Cody's old contract that contract expired. This is a new contract for one night only Cody Rhodes is returning to the promotion. He started to save it From the devil at winter is coming Cody Rhodes finally Beats MJF lays the aw title in the middle of the ring and he gets to say a proper goodbye The goodbye to aw that he never really got to make he vacates the belt He walks away which opens the door for two things MJF Humiliated and beaten after a year-long reign of terrac and Resigned with aw because his aw career can't end this way or he can actually leave Sign with wwe and there's an inbuilt feud with Cody Rhodes waiting to happen right there Do I think any do I think this would actually happen?  Is it likely? No What's more likely is probably Brian Danielson, which no one would hate to be fair just doesn't quite fit in with the story I'm telling here. Uh, what could provide the best narrative closure? Maybe Wardlow. It's on it. It's my story my video That's how I would cap off the year of MJF. What do you think? That wasn't bad, man. That once he said Cody. I was like, oh, yeah, this is mega fantasy everything else I could have worked with everything else you could put in the realm of reality that they could actually do something with that Once he said Cody, I was like, nah, I would love that. I would love if wwe Through a that's wwe throwing aw a bomb. We know they won't do that But if they just decided to That's wwe throwing aw a bomb but one thing about wwe They're gonna look out for themselves. They're gonna do things that's gonna line their pockets So the only thing I could possibly see is MJF coming over to wwe and they continue a few there But that hurts aw because people are gonna want to see that feud on wwe television So that would never probably happen. Well, you can't say you can never say never you never know, but I I like the story he told there. That was pretty cool I'm all for MJF just holding the title hostage beating people up in heel-like fashion And seeing where they go. I do think um Let me rephrase that because I I know when when you say holding the title hostage Some people get a negative connotation to that. I mean in a sense of no one should be beating him The only time he should drop that belt is when Someone is like super white hot like I'm talking mega over and it makes sense for him to drop it The only time I could see him ever dropping it is if he's about to leave the company If he's legit gonna leave the company, I can see him dropping it there because I'm telling you this now In wwe.  This was pretty cool comment down below. Let me know Did you guys enjoy? Uh the way adam booked the year of MJF me person. I think it was pretty good The last one is the last part definitely not believable But still overall a good fantasy booking of this whole situation But I appreciate y'all kicking with me. See y'all next one You


Welcome to the NewsClick special edition on budget 2021-2022. The budget we had been told before it was announced that it would be historic. And one of the commentators writing after the budget said that it is a good interim budget, except that it is not an interim budget, it is the budget for the full year. And in some cases, the finance minister has projected so far as five years and six years. So this budget comes at a special moment, a crisis of COVID and the lockdown, which caused extreme economic distress. We have two speakers with us today. We have professors Vikas Ravel and Rohit Azad. And I wanted to begin with Professor Ravel. Do you think this budget is really a stimulus? Is there a hidden stimulus somewhere which we, which is not immediately apparent? Well, there is no stimulus. It's a budget which is, I mean, it's as if the government is in a denial mode, unwilling to accept that there is a, there is a recession, that there is an economic crisis that this country is facing. And you just written a budget in that framework of denial. So that's, I think, what the budget is about. And there are specific sectors. In fact, what is striking is a complete lack of, you know, attention to that, complete lack of a stimulus.  And you thought when she was giving the speech that she's perhaps keeping it for the end, you know, she's going to make some big announcement about agriculture. She's going to say something about expanding NREGA. But then it just ended and she just never came. So one of the amazing things about this budget is that the allocation for almost every social sector, including the allocation under the head of social sector, have gone down. Now, but, but still the government says that this is a budget about spending, spending, spending. So where is this spending going to happen? And do you think that when the, as a year rolls around, there will be a need for, you know, more and more demands will be raised on the government. And that this sort of penny pinching at this moment is only putting off the inevitable, you have to spend on something. Otherwise, people will suffer immensely like in health or agriculture.  And what explains the priorities of the government? Once you go through the speech and read the budget, what according to you is the priority of this government? No, you see, it's a very peculiar situation. The revenues of the government have collapsed. Government simply doesn't have, have not has not is not mobilizing revenues. You know, when they say it's about expenditure, it's they're merely saying that it's the excess of expenditure over revenues is now much more than it used to be. But that's not because their expenditure has gone up. It's because the revenues have collapsed. They just have no known. I mean, they've not, they've not been collecting taxes and their revenues have fallen so drastically that the only thing they now have is this idea. Is this idea of just selling off national assets to somehow keep some revenue. But even with all that, you basically don't have have a lot of money. So, so it's only in that sense that expenditure is high. Professor Azad, we were just talking about the government's intent to sell off public sector units and at a wholesale level this time. Do you think this is going to be an effective strategy to bring money into the economy? It's like, I mean, everybody was talking about this once in 100 years, but not everybody, but the mainstream media. And in one way, this is once in a hundred year budget because they are trying to sell off something which nobody dared to touch, which is LIC. I mean, it's already the thing that started last year. But LIC is very risky. I mean, selling it off or privatizing in whatever way. A, because it has the savings of the low middle class of poor also. I mean, LIC is it mobilizes savings from a big section of the population to put it in the hands of the private sector like insurance companies. Let's say in the United States, you don't know what is going to happen to those savings. That's one. But more importantly, why sell it? I mean, LIC is not a body which is making losses. You normally sell things which don't give you anything if at all you want to sell. Here is an asset which is giving you something.  So somebody was saying, I mean, Professor Dhar was saying in the morning that you can't sell your family silver. You can sell it only once, but you can't sell it twice. So that is the problem with this strategy. And if you look at the data, in fact, the disinvestment targets that they had set even last year, they couldn't meet it. So there's there's nothing suddenly that is going to happen, which with even though the invest this investment itself is wrong. But I'm saying to include that as a revenue to calculate your fiscal deficit is something which is anywhere not going to happen. So what will happen? Ultimately, you'll have to then cut down your expenditure because you want to meet the target, which is exactly what they have done in the previous budget. Most of the, as Vikas correctly said, the fiscal deficit that has risen has not risen from the expenditure side as much as it has risen from the fact that the revenues have fallen. So, I mean, that doesn't give any injection of demand in an economy which has seen its worst recession in the history. So this is not this was the time for a fundamental change in terms of what you can do in a budget. This was the most if there was one budget, this was the most important budget in perhaps the history of this country. And what we have got is nowhere close to that. I mean, there's nothing in it which can be called historic other than selling. One very interesting statement in the budget speech that last year, the corporate tax rates were reduced to a level which is the lowest in the world. You know, if you are not tinkering with the rates right now, then why do you think the government had to mention this? Is this attempt to draw global interest in investing in India that the tax rates are very, very low? And what is the meaning of very low corporate tax rates? What does it mean for economy right now? I wanted both of you to answer that if you could. First, if you could go. So two things on that. I mean, one is that you may want to incentivize all this, but incentive can only be taken if there is something. So, for example, you give a lot of tax rebate doesn't mean investment comes by what may happen is that this tax is going to be pocketed by the big corporates as it happened. I mean, their profit after tax has risen has sold in a time when the sales have fallen. So what they do is they'll pocket this and as far as the international, I mean, international investment is concerned. Why would they come to a country or at this point when there is a global slowdown to come to a country just because you've given a tax rebate. People invest in a country when there is a possibility of a market. If the market itself has gone down, why would they invest here? Additionally, this is going to affect your budget numbers itself. If you give concessions, not only do you not get anything out of it, I mean, one could have understood if it influence private investment, but it doesn't. On top of that, it affects your after, you know, let's say revised estimates as as you would see next year of the budget numbers, which is essentially going to be to cut down expenditure from the projected levels themselves.  One is that even if I'm not wrong, the revised estimates of corporate tax collection for the last year are considerably lower than what they had budgeted. What the budget estimates were and what they're projecting for next year is lower still. So the point is that the only effect that lowering corporate tax rates will have is that your revenue mobilizations are less. You see, I want to make one point about this idea of sorry to take you back to the idea of selling national assets. You see, you have to remember that in a period of economic slowdown, selling national assets would only mean two things. One is that as Roy was saying, there's no way you can mobilize what you are claiming you will mobilize by way of selling these assets. But what you would, my fear is that what you would end up doing is that you would end up eventually selling these assets for a song. It's like having a buffalo and selling it during a period of drought.  So that's one. The other is that, you know, one really has to understand this in a period such as this where, you know, the crisis of livelihoods, the problems of people is, is unprecedented. In that period, you have a budget which does not have a single big ticket welfare scheme. There's not one major scheme that has been announced in this budget. Nothing to give relief to the people. You see, so that's really, you know, stands out. There's the biggest problem with this budget. There's not one single major welfare scheme announced.  Now one of the interesting ideas again is this revival of the asset reconstruction. Now there are a lot of private sector companies which are trying to, you know, take care of the stressed assets of banks. You're trying to have a bad bank and, you know, all these ideas have been floating around, but is this the right time to really drift off into this territory? Now, you're going to give it 20,000 crore rupees and you're hoping that they will, you know, sort of fix the problems in the banking sector. Now, the earlier RBI Governors had said that the way to fix it is to fix accountability on the borrowers who don't repay loans. This doesn't seem to be that kind of an idea. Where do you think the government is heading? What does it tell us about the government's priorities? Is it infrastructure which they are after? Are they hoping that will generate jobs, et cetera, Professor Abul? Well, I think Rohit might be better placed to talk about the financial sector. But to me what does seem is that two things have happened. One is, well, or three things have happened. One is that the burden of wrong economic decisions made by this government over the last few years has fallen quite significantly on the banking system. So you do a demonetization and one major hit is on the financial system. You know, so each of these things has hit the financial system very badly. So the health of the financial system has, you know, gone from bad to worse. The second thing is that, as you rightly said, the big corporate borrowers, you know, the NPA is created because of lack of repayment by big corporate borrowers is something that has clearly hit the banks. Now, you know, this is not something that you can, you know, pass off bad debts from one bank to another institution to another institution and resolve the problem that way. See, unless you're willing to give a clear message that these corporate borrowers who are basically fleeing with public money are, you know, you're going to stop that. You know, that signal is not, that's not being done. Now, that's one. The other is that you really not made any significant change in the way financial, you know, public sector institutions, you know, public sector banks, you know, what is going to be done to take care of their health, what is going to be done to deal with the stress they have. There's no perspective here about that. So, you know, I don't see that problem being resolved with this minor tinkering that they're doing. But Rohit may have something to say. You know, I think this asset reconstruction is essentially the experience so far has been that in the name of the IBC and bankruptcy code, what they have essentially done is they have sold off assets of industries of let's say firms at a pittance. They have sold because they became NPAs, you sell it to a big buyer at throw away price. You're not recovering. I mean, that's not really recovery. That's essentially just selling it off to a big player who gets all the assets at almost nominal prices of that. That's not really solving the problem. I mean, you are essentially writing it off if one were to, you know, if you were to be honest, you're essentially writing it off the books of the banks and look at the write offs themselves. I mean, this is just the, you know, from the restructuring. But if you look at the write offs themselves, they have, they have risen as well in during the term of this government and write offs are what basically the bank the the losses that the corporate sector is making you and I are paying for it because it's after all going from the government's kitty to these banks to write those loans off.  I mean, they should be made to pay for it. So, but this government has had that approach as far as the NPAs are concerned, that's not really solving the problem. I would say you're actually giving a signal to the corporates to swindle funds in the future, knowing that the government is going to bail you out in the future as well and from not from our money actually effectively, it's after all our money. Absolutely right. Now the, the other amazing thing is that the allocation for almost every social sector which I, you know, agriculture, even health a very minor increase, food subsidies substantially low allocation compared to the revised estimate of the last year. Education, 6,088 crore decline. Social welfare, health ministry, even the planning and statistic collection budget has been, you know, quite substantially reduced from 6,094 crore to 2,472 crore. ICDS, mid-day mail scheme. You know, does it, what does this lead to? How do we understand this? Because these are supposed to be the bedrock of any budget, the ordinary citizen waits for these announcements to see whether they will be eggs served or potatoes served in the, you know, in the schools, for instance, whether they'll get better books and so on. Now, where does the finance minister, you know, hope to make up for the bad results we've got on the nutrition front, for instance, across the board, the things which people need haven't been catered to. One would think that the farm of protest is going on, so there would be something to assuage those spirits. Have you seen anything for agriculture, which is good on any of these trends? The budget of agriculture ministry has been reduced. The budget of agriculture ministry has been reduced. By 6,500 crore almost, I see that figure. So, it's actually quite incredible. That's what I was saying, that how on all the sectors in which, you know, major welfare schemes are run, you see a cut.  So, what should one say? I mean, it's really disappointing. I think it's one of the most disappointing budgets of even the India government. What would have made it a little better in your estimation? Where would the finance minister's attention have gone? Well, clearly they needed to, well, what they should have done is to substantially raise revenue through barrack taxation, through wealth taxation, through raising corporate taxes and use it to provide relief to the working people. To have substantial expansion of NREGA, substantial expansion of public distribution system, significant increase in allocation for procurement, significant increase in things like mid-day meals and so on, education, health. So, you know, that's what you needed to do. You just needed to expand spending on these things, which would put money in the hands of people and would in fact create demand, generate employment, generate incomes, generate, in fact, create demand for even the industry to grow. The biggest constraint the industry right now faces is lack of demand. You needed to put money in the hands of people so that the demand could be strengthened. Right, we seem to have lost Professor Rohit for the moment right now. But the last thing is, you know, have you been, have you been able to pay attention to the other development, the finance commission report was also able today? I'm afraid I have not, unfortunately. All right, yeah. So is there something in this which would sort of rescue the budget from the doldrums which it seems to be in? Is there any, I think the water resources, you know, the sanitation and water has been? No. In fact, it's quite interesting. PM Kisan, the revised estimate is significantly lower than the budget estimate. This year's allocation is about 10,000 crores less than last year's allocation.  You see, you need, I mean, even if you want to maintain the real value of the transfer, that should have meant that that 6,000 rupees should have been increased by some of them. Not only you don't increase, what you've actually done over the last year is that you've reduced the coverage of PM Kisan. The number of people who are getting PM Kisan transfers, who are the first transfer of PM Kisan, the number of farmers who've been given the subsequent transfers has fallen. So, you see, you've actually narrowed down the coverage of PM Kisan. And that's what you're basically doing, that Pradhan Mantri Sichahi Yojana, the allocation has been brought down. So, spending on education has fallen. So, sector after sector, scheme after scheme, you see a tightening of belt in a period where, you know, you needed to actually expand spending. You needed to increase spending. So, you've gone exactly the wrong way. All right. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Thank you, Pradhan. Yes, all right. Thanks a lot. Bye-bye.


I'm happy to be here and present this research, which is the result of a practitioner-researcher partnership between Mercy Corps Nigeria and myself, Rebecca Lipman, Chad Hazlet, and Elizabeth Nugent. And what we try to address is what I see as one of the biggest policy problems in Northeast Nigeria in the last five to seven years, which is that there have been a set of people who are trying to return from an association or involvement in the violent extremist group Boko Haram back into their communities. And the problem that they have faced is that communities are not willing to have them come back. So this is a varied set of people. Some of them are former fighters, and some of them have held more support roles as cooks, drivers, and some women who have been forced into marriages with Boko Haram fighters. So these people are coming back, and communities are worried about the security implications of these people who, from their perspective, went into the forest. They don't know what happened then, and now are coming back into town. So they don't know whether they were, quote-unquote, radicalized, and they don't know what their tensions are in coming back into the community. And so in the first instances of people coming out, one, they've been segregated. So in my first visit to my degree in 2015, in the IDP camps, you'll see a set of people that are set off from the rest of the camp who are these former associates, who aren't allowed to even sit with their families and kind of fellow villagers. And more recently, there have been a set of more systematic efforts to bring these returnees back into their communities from the government, which has a set of pathways for returnees to come from government-held detention facilities back into their communities. And in several of the earliest cases, these truck-fulls of returnees were rejected from their communities, and they refused to allow them to come back in. They felt that they hadn't been provided information on who they are and what kind of rehabilitation process they had gone through, if any. And so this is a big problem from the perspective of addressing the possible return to conflict, because this is a set of people who have potentially been part of this violent extremist group, and if not provided an opportunity to go back to their community, may stay in these government detention facilities or even return to the conflict. So what can we do about this? Oh, sorry. First, I wanted to give you a sense of what this kind of means in terms of community acceptance. We did a survey in 2017 in internally displaced persons camps in Northeast Nigeria to try to understand both what the barriers to acceptance were and also how people were thinking about it. So we found quite extreme attitudes towards how returnees should be treated. Ninety percent of people felt that they should be tortured either for kind of retribution or to obtain information about the armed group, and about 50 percent even supported capital punishment for some of the returnees who had the most extreme roles. In terms of community support for actually accepting people back into their own community, only about 50 percent of people said that they were willing to accept a former member of Boko Haram back into their community. And when you kind of probe them to try to understand why that is, again, it's a mix of both fear about what they would do in their community and anger toward their kind of past actions. Going down into what that looks like in terms of the social, economic, and political reintegration, we asked people what kinds of activities they would be willing to allow people to do when they came back. And so we asked a range of different behavioral intentions about whether you would allow them to come back, whether you would allow them to participate in community meetings, whether you would allow them to run for office and whether you would vote for them, et cetera. And so these all ranged around 50 percent. So what can we do about this? We test one particular idea, which is that trusted authorities may be able to change minds and shift norms about important pro-social behaviors. This idea came from a set of focus groups that we conducted in 2016 with populations that could be potentially accepting returnees. And this idea that people sought advice and took cues from leaders came up again and again in our interviews. So people said that we would seek guidance from our leaders, and if they said to welcome them back, we would. So given the background of this conflict setting and the fact that people have these extremely negative views towards people coming back, I think it's quite striking that people would be willing to, on the basis of a cue from their leader shift. And so we wanted to test out whether this was kind of a systematic tool that could be used by the government and civil society agencies. We're not the only ones who notice this. This is a kind of widespread idea, both in Nigeria and in other conflict contexts, where trainings and networks of local leaders, and particularly religious leaders, have been used to try to elevate the voices of these leaders and help lead to pro-social behavior change. So why might this work? Trusted authorities, we know from a range of literature from American politics are listened to by people who are looking for cues about what they should believe and what kinds of decisions they should make. They're also signals of social norms. So people often make decisions based on what they think other people are going to do and what they think other people think that they should do. And leaders provide a signal of those social norms. We're going to focus on religious leaders in particular, in part because these are often highly trusted leaders. These are people that are in this context trusted by 97% of people, more trusted than any other institution in Northeast Nigeria. And they also have, I think, two particular characteristics among leaders that are relevant. The first is that they have the ability to legitimately use religious texts as a means for leading to attitudinal and behavior change. And they're also sought out for advice on a variety of different topics. And so people are actively going and trying to find out what their local imams think about issues related to resolving the conflict. So what did we actually do? We worked with a senior Islamic cleric in Maiduguri. And we recorded a set of audio messages in collaboration with him in which we shared findings from our focus groups about the barriers to community acceptance. And he developed a set of messages from religious texts that he thought drew on those. And in fact, he was a really, he and a Christian bishop that we worked with were quite eager participants in the partnership because they had already been working to shift attitudes around community acceptance. And so he drew on some of his own ideas there. And so there were three elements to the message. He emphasized the idea of forgiveness from a variety of Islamic texts. He announced that he himself would forgive fighters. And he called on his followers both to forgive them and to accept them back into the community. We played either that message or to a randomly assigned control group. We played a placebo message about an unrelated topic, which was about sanitation and health. In naturalistic small group settings, as people listen to the radio normally. Afterward, we asked a set of outcome questions related to whether you would accept people back into your community and also what you continue to think about these former associates of Bukalon. So what did we find? Let me orient you to this plot briefly. On the x-axis are these two conditions that we randomly assigned people into, so this placebo in which they received an audio message about health and sanitation. And on the right, this message from this trusted religious leader. On the y-axis is the amount of support for the behavioral intention for, for example, allowing former associates to reintegrate, to allow them in community meetings, ranging from about 40% to around 80%. And so what we can see across this range of different kinds of behavioral intentions from those that are already supported around half, move up between nine and 13 percentage points. So across all of these different behaviors that are more and less intensive ways of coming back into the community, this message from a community leader seemed to have really shifted people's willingness to accept people back into their community. Similarly, we looked at whether this message shifted social norms, so shifted these perceptions of what other people think, other people are doing and think that you should do. And so we asked people whether they thought that their neighbors would allow people to return to their community, whether their community leaders and local religious leaders thought they should do. And so sort of, obviously, we find that local religious leaders, people's perceptions about local religious leaders were shifted. But more surprisingly, we also find that it shifts people's perceptions of what their neighbors are doing and think that they should do by kind of similar rates. So in terms of the policy implications here, I think this provides, this is initial evidence that provides motivation for using the tool of elevating the voices of trusted local leaders to shift both attitudes, but also behavioral intentions towards these important pro-social behaviors. I think additional research is needed to understand what kinds of leaders and what circumstances this kind of tool is going to be effective. And a major caveat is that the messages did not shift people's underlying feelings towards former associates of Boko Haram. So levels of anger and levels of fear towards these former associates were not shifted at all. So this is a case of shifting social norms and shifting behavioral intentions without changing those underlying feelings toward this group, which is a common feature of some of these kind of behavioral science findings. So I'll give you a brief teaser for two other parts of this experiment that we're still writing up. One is that we wanted to know whether we could change beliefs about the malleability of attitudes, because one of the major problems here is that people aren't sure whether these former associates could quote unquote de-radicalize. And so there's a set of social psychological interventions to kind of shift your belief in other people being able to change their minds. And we find that that's quite effective at convincing people that these former associates might be able to change their mind when they come back into the community. And then second, using a literature from conflict resolution, which finds that apologies from individuals or groups about the actions during conflict of another group can also shift attitudes and behaviors. And we also find some evidence of that in this context from a related experiment. So I wanna leave on a kind of happy note, which is that in 2018, or a positive note at least, in 2018, we found these really quite negative attitudes towards former associates of Boko Haram, and these are really improved in the last couple of years. So a survey by the Managing Exits from Conflict Project, which is led by Sivan O'Neill, who's presenting in one of the other rooms, shows that those attitudes have gone up by about 20 percentage points since our first surveys in 2017 and 2018. So now about 70% of people say that they would be willing to accept these former members. And so maybe speculative conclusion of this is that the widespread use of messaging in the wild by religious leaders may have been one component in shifting those, these important behavioral intentions. So thank you very much.


Hello, and thanks for joining me once again to watch yet another example of our former free press Earning the title enemy of the people coming to us from the great Tom Elliott of grabian.com We have a clip of Republican Scott Perry Absolutely shutting down one of these White House operatives pretending to be a reporter. Yes, ma'am What actual evidence do you have as opposed to allegations? To show to the American public that would merit an actual impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden improved it today Isn't just about some of you. Oh, I don't know For the sake of enacting political revenge Listen about political revenge. We have the bank accounts. We can see ma'am You can see that the homes that the Bidens own Can't be afforded on a congressional or Senate salary You also understand that it's not normal for family members to receive millions of dollars from overseas interests Those things aren't normal. That's not normal to have 20 cell shell country companies These things are not normal and it alludes to not only just widespread corruption But money laundering if not influence peddling itself And we also have the president or the vice president at the time on record saying that the prosecutor was fine Well, son of a bitch the prosecutor was fired right because the prosecutor was going after the company that his son was working on That's what we have if you can't see that if you want if you were that blunt This reporter is Siobhan Kennedy Washington correspondent from the UK Channel 4 and she sounds like she's doing Exactly what state operatives in American media are doing instead of following the evidence and digging for a huge story What we see is the media circling the wagons and protecting buying from investigations That seems much more like what we'd expect from CCP or Russian state operatives Not truth-seeking journalists unsurprisingly This is exactly what the Biden regime is demanding in a leaked memo where the White House demands the free press Attack the Republicans instead of focusing on Biden the marching orders read It's time for the media to ramp up its scrutiny of Republicans for opening an impeachment inquiry based on lies I think it's incumbent upon the independent media It's incumbent upon us to explain to the public the truth and the truth is that the president was never in business with his family and That these lies and false attacks that are coming from Republicans with no evidence no evidence To back them up are in fact lies Ramp up scrutiny Maybe I'm out of my mind But as someone who lives in the media it seems like that's the only thing they do Despite Democrats controlling the country for the last three years and in fact This has been my experience from the Bush years to the Obama years The media is always hyper critical of Republicans and very defensive and promotional of Democrats But back to the marching orders quote It's time for the media to ramp up its scrutiny of House Republicans for opening an impeachment inquiry based on lies Oh, so the guy saying that he's being investigated says that he's innocent and that the people investigating them are the liars Okay, fine. That's absurd But why would the media take that at face value which they're clearly doing? I don't see any probable cause here. There's just no evidence. I have not seen any evidence There's no evidence of any crime at all no evidence so far the ties Joe Biden to any of this At least nothing that they have brought forward and that we have seen have you seen said evidence No, not a scintilla of evidence you kind of a crime Like you gotta have some accusation you can make and they don't really have anything right now But nothing has tied the president to any of hunter-bidens dealings There's no whiff of him being involved or him being implicated in it every single one of them is saying there's no evidence In unison just as a White House memo is leak Demanding that the media circle the wagons and focus negative attention on the Republicans who are out of power by the way But once again, they're not being truthful. Is there a perfect silver bullet piece of evidence? Well, not quite yet, but it's damn close and we know for a fact that the media is willing to chase stories with a lot less Evidence when the target is their political opponents evidence like in July 2023 former buying business associate Devin Archer described how Joe Biden was the brand and was used to send signals of power Access and influence to enrich the buying family from foreign sources to Devin Archer alone was aware of at least 20 times In which the vice president Biden spoke on speakerphone with hunter-binds foreign business associates Democrats would have Americans believe that these phone calls with the then vice president Biden were simply to discuss the weather 3 in February 2014 then vice president Biden dined with oligarchs from Russia and Kazakhstan who funneled millions of dollars to hunter-bind and his business Associates for in April 2015 then vice president Biden dined with hunter-binds foreign business associates Including Ukrainian barisma executive Pajovsky Berezman was then being investigated by Ukrainian prosecutor Shokin for corruption 5 then VP Biden had coffee with hunter-binds Chinese business associate Jonathan Lee of BHR in Beijing and wrote a college letter of recommendation for his daughter And that's not even getting into all the witness testimony from Devin Archer The statements from Tony Bobolinsky the text from hunter-binds computer and the what's apps from hunter-binds computer Joe Biden's statements that are on video leveraging the aster of Victor Shokin in Ukraine and Joe Biden's unexplained income Remember Joe Biden has said four years that he never spoke to hunter about his business or his business associates But that's not evidence when you're a state media operative trying to protect corrupt power Now this list of evidence compiled by the House Republicans has 20 total pieces of evidence of corruption That more than justify impeachment Nobody believes for a second that if this were Trump They wouldn't be using every tool they could to take him down because we literally just watch them do that What do you all think let me know in the comments after you hit that like button and subscribe? Thanks for watching. I'll see you on the next one


Moving on, members of Tarabah State House of Assembly have called on Governor Kaifas Abou to declare a state of emergency security following the killing of over 200 people by bandits and forlucky governmentaries of the state in the last few months. Reading the motion on their behalf, a member representing Taken 1, Hon Abu Bakr John Tanko Yusuf said that families can no longer go to farm, again, of being killed in their various state constituencies. Behind the university and killed, this motorcycle was taken away. The major routes that people use to go to their farm in that area and the roads have become too fearful now because the attack on that road is becoming almost every time. And I'm sure that the body language of the president, government, will actually speak on some distance must stop. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.

You're totally unprepared for the auditions. I don't even want to bring up, I don't want to bring up the skillshare, but I'm going through a lot of things yet. I've just put on my bike for the six years. Can you believe it? Chloe Ken left Simon Cowell shocked when she strolled out covered head to toe in fake orange tan on the X Factor back in 2010. She told him her hobby was lots of partying and these days she probably still is. Too much partying really. What kind of partying? Any partying I can get. Chloe has pulled off one of the biggest rags to riches transformation since and now she's shocked everyone since she looks like a different person. Hey guys it's Kara the Vampire Slayer and this series is titled Before and After. Back in 2010 Chloe Ken was looking like a hot mess when she stepped out onto the X Factor but now she's had a seriously shocking glow up. We're going to take a look at Chloe's head to toe transformation from X Factor Reject to Onlyfans star and influencer including all of the cosmetic work she's had done along the way. She recently dropped a few other videos in this series including one on Kelly Osborne and Dolly Parton. As always be sure to let us know who's before and after as of next and I'll see you after the intro. Chloe Ken was born Chloe Victoria held on June 1st 1990 in Wakefield West Yorkshire England. She was raised by her mother but they struggled financially living in a council house with no carpets and eating toast for Christmas dinner. Chloe was only 18 when she became pregnant with her daughter Destiny with her now ex-boyfriend Ian. In 2010 Chloe decided to audition for the X Factor and got through singing a couple songs but was kicked off the show after admitting she stayed up all night partying and she smelled a vodka. Her appearance on the show led to more details of her private life being revealed such as drug accusations and she disappeared from the spotlight for a bit. Now Chloe's bad fake lashes and orange tan are all gone and it seems over the years she's built up a millionaire jet set lifestyle as well as a whole new appearance. A year old did some modeling for Playboy, dated the boss of Spearmint Rhino for some time and even returned to reality TV. In 2016 Chloe was on Celebrity Big Brother UK and had a steamy fling with Steven Bear but this isn't the only way Chloe paid for all of her cosmetic surgery. In the past Chloe had admitted to being paid to party which some like to say is escorting. She said, What I do is called pay to party where you get paid to go out with a group of people sometimes you are on your own but mostly you are with a group of other girls. You do dancing, you do different things, you do not sleep with anyone for money. Chloe also found success in the webcam business claiming she could make up to 50 pounds a minute chatting to several men online. Speaking about her continued success in this industry, I got lots of work and then realized I could employ other girls to work for me and built up a successful business from there. I now have 50 employees and have made more than 1 million pounds. While she used the funds to splurge on her complete makeover spending an alleged 20,000 pounds on her boobs, nearly 10,000 pounds on her nose job and more on veneer and lip fillers. But more on that in just a moment. These days Chloe is making more bank on the popular platform only fans as you may have guessed. Like plenty of celebrities and influencers, she joined the site and charges $20 per month for a subscription to access exclusive content. It's estimated that she earns nearly $1 million US per month from here alone. Now let's get into all of Chloe's transformations. In 2016, when she appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, she was already sporting a new look. First of all, Chloe had a rhinoplasty to get a new nose, but that was actually a horrifying experience for her. Years back, Chloe decided to fly to Ukraine to get a cute dolly nose after seeing a surgeon on Instagram. When she was going under before it kicked in, she said she saw the doctor put a dirty blanket with dried blood on her. She also said, Then halfway through the operation, I became conscious and felt something hot pour all over my face. I realized it was blood and tried to scream, but I couldn't move. I wasn't in pain, but I did think I was going to die. Things didn't improve when she got home as she collapsed on the kitchen floor and laid there for two days at one point, even thinking she was going to die. Chloe had to wear bandages for 20 hours a day and was left with no sense of smell or feeling in her nose. Well, to be honest, because it's not just how the nose is that was so bad. Like I actually woke up during surgery and loads of other things happened whilst we're there. It was just a disaster from the get go. It was just a nightmare. Since this experience, she went on to get some more surgery to rectify the situation. And despite how horrible it was, it never scared Chloe away from plastic surgery.  She's had not one, but two boob jobs and implants have gotten her to a size 32 double H and the breast surgeries have cost her about 20,000 pounds alone. Chloe also got a Brazilian butt lift, which is a popular procedure where a surgeon transfers fat from other areas in the body into ones behind to create bigger curve. It was said that Chloe first had a BBL surgery in 2017 and then in 2019, she actually got her butt fixed again. She went to Turkey for the procedure and told her followers that her old butt was starting to sag. So she had it replaced and opted for a slightly larger and higher look. When Chloe got the initial procedure, she also got what she called a designer vagina. So work done there as well. Finally, Chloe also gets her lips done to be more full which she's admitted to and got veneers for a set of perfect teeth. When discussing all of her plastic surgery, the influencer said, I've spent about 20K on my boobs, 8.5K on veneers, my nose job was 9K and my lips were another 10K. So it's about 50K in total. So there you have it. Likely 50,000 pounds or more by now spent on Chloe's ultimate transformation. Now we've taken a look at the crazy transformation of Chloe Kan from X Factor wannabe to Barbie doll influencer. What did you guys think? Would you guess that's even the same person?
