I'm not gonna do a joke, it's business. Plan is Friday here. Show at January 16th Studios, featuring analyst whole map mascardi. That's true. Those, that's true. On today's weekly wrap-up. Silent CEOs. Of vocal. Mackenzie Scott. And the sad Legacy. The dwindling Legacy. I guess. Have targets. Brian Cornell want. Wait, what was his prior Legacy? When you say? No. I think it. I feel like Target used to represent something. Maybe it's all in my head or maybe they fooled me. I don't know what, good. Let's get the target later. Yeah, we'll get to Target later. Well, actually, no. We're gonna get it right at the top of the show. Our show today is being sponsored by free flow analytics. The only platform measuring board power connections for free. You know, that's good. At least that's good. There's something good about something. Yeah that actually serve the show. I was doing something in public today I'm not going to name what it was and I overheard some people like laughing laughing and I actually went over there. I mean I seriously I went over there. I was like, how, what? Like how do you you feel Joy? Like what was wrong? What's going on over here? Like what happened? That was the what's going on? It happened to him all day. Yeah, no, I think they felt embarrassed for feeling even a moment of Love at tea. Let's do story of the week. Yeah. Well, this very patriotic music because yeah, the Patriots. Yeah. So you actually, I I did peek ahead and I think you're covering Brian Cornell later. So I'm not gonna go too much in a depth on target, but let me just the first story. It's all ice-related, but I start with Target Target. Target silent. After Federal immigration agents, arrest Twin Cities employees. so, this is a there's reporting that I Like was like beating up their employer arresting their employees on. On the property on target property. So, we earlier in the week, we looked at 17 publicly traded Minnesota and companies to see, if any of them had made any statements. They had not, I keep checking targets website, I thought after seeing that article, I thought I didn't know about this when we first reported about the Minneapolis Minnesota companies. So I thought after this certainly they would put out something because You know, as we're seeing around my city, people are not showing up to work, they're not showing up to school and a lot of industries that are extremely important to our existence like service, you know, nursing whatever. Jobs that we need to operate. So I thought Target would definitely say something at this point, right? Because because the The fear. That their, that their employees must be feeling right now. Must be off the charts, right? So but but no, they still have it. In fact, I said some stuff I'll read I'll get they did say some stuff. I've got some stuff. Yeah. Okay, so I don't see anything on their on their public facing website. So how would I know that they had said stuff? Anyway, the only thing I did it correct me if I'm wrong later. The only thing I did find was the last press release was something said that Target expands its style offering with exclusive bedding collection from a claimed interior designer. Jeremiah Brent, that's, that's the last that's in the last ice. You are going to be comfortable. That's important. And I think one of the other things they said, I said I actually think you pulled as well. So I'm gonna skip over that the other ice related stories. As part of this is part of the first story of the week Bill Ackman defends dope donation to ice officer who shot Minnesota woman. he said that he's presumed innocent until proven guilty, I mean, Look, We've joked a lot that whenever Bill Ackman does anything. You do the opposite but even for Bill I I cannot believe he is. He is willing to publicly, put his terrible face on this. This is the statement he needs to make is a because Let's just, let's just say that the app, they did an investigation, they did the evidence, they let all kinds of people investigate, not just the federal government. Let's just say that she was in the wrong. or or maybe that it was an ambiguous situation and you know, the police officer gets exonerated, Whatever, it's still the murder of a young mother and Minneapolis, you know, Bill Acme. Like this is a step that I would. How do we get here? Bill actually didn't get fired. He doesn't personally. Hey, here, how do we get here? I don't understand what you even donate to. He doesn't, he still has his job at ice right? Like he he didn't kill them. Might be some I'm sure the will of eventually be some civil lawsuits. No. Sure. But from her, from her spouse, her wife, it's like ice the organization. I don't know, handle, like Bill Acme. You are, you are an, don't worry, he's this guy this. I just, I just can't believe we've come to this point and our US history and our business world this fast. I mean, I look it's one thing to make side deals with the president but but this like Bill Ackman like your I don't I don't understand this declines happen fast, this is what this is what happens when a couple of people have all the money, all the voice Rose. Yeah. And then, at the same time, I don't really understand this part of it did Bill Ackman used to hold a lot of shares and show you used to own 9.9% of, okay? So Chipotle actually came out immediately the good for you. Chipotle and clarified. That Bill Ackman is not affiliated with his chain whatsoever after billionaires ice agent donation. So, so he 9.9%, he sold it in the last like year, two, or like not that long ago, he actually There was a rumor online after the shooting that Bill Ackman. However, after the donation rather that Bill Ackman owned Chipotle. So Chipotle was just coming out and being like, no, no, not affiliated with this company. Like, well, hey, in 2026. Even that is like a major statement, I believe in like they didn't even they didn't say anything specific about it. They just said, like, pure one sentence. I'm just like, he's not affiliated with the company, something, right? That's fighting back now and then, and I also lumped in this. Other thing that's going on. The first story, really is about ice, but I had to conclude this other thing. I maybe this is just, I don't even know what this first category is called, but there was a this week afford worker. Was, I don't know if you saw this was suspended so he called Trump was there and he called him a pedophile protector. And Ford has already suspended him. And of course, the union thankful is fighting back again to suspension. And and that workers getting donations. I don't know where we're at with that either. I don't know Ford but you know Ford CEO remind me of his name. Jim, Jim Farley Jim Farley is also in the news today, you know, basically bragging that, you know, Trump will always pick up my phone calls but I need help with China because China, you know, because, you know, they're competing. It's like Again, the state of our business world and capitalism is so bizarre to me. It's like, why do you need help build? A better company. Car is like whatever. Like I just like, I'm so confused by everything. So and and how do you get suspended anyway for for mouthing off against a publicly elected official? I don't even know. Is that like, why can't a worker do that in the first place? But anyway, like you want to throw that in, I get that. If you're for Ford, you have to do something and so you do something and result is nothing like that. Like it's because the union I'm sure will win and that's right. But Ford, I don't think he's really cares. They have so like look like no, you can't yell at the president when we invite the president. Did he yell at him or did he just? I, I don't I don't agree with that, but it does it. I I see what they're doing. Well, yeah, the first the first part the ice part. Yeah, I mean that's the story not been. I've gone up and down with like being sanity of stuff that's going on in the United States. Oh by the way, move your camera. So it's on your face because it's Like awesome. Oh, nobody's looking at everyone wants to see your face, I look Haggard. Um, yeah, but I've been up and down with like you know, everything going on in this camera, or this up this country, everything going on like everywhere. Like, who knows? You know, a, what's going to happen next and it's all kind of terrible and Nobody stands up, nobody fights. And we've been talking about for a while, the ice thing. Who now we're talking like they have immunity from all prosecution? Who are now invading? Like every day? It's coming. It's coming from above. Didn't the department? The whole month's secretary. She say that. I mean they Shadow like ice has been basically killing people. The whole time, they finally shot a white woman who had nothing to do with, you know, wasn't in it like an immigration enforcement. She was literally just like, Protest issues, heckling and protesting and they shot her and the level of attention that it gets in the level of understanding that you now have that it, they will stable just kill you. There's and that there's nothing you can do. They already did pretty terrible thing. It was pretty terrifying. Yeah I haven't had this like and yeah I haven't had this pit in my stomach since covid, I think. And this is like a the source of this pit is completely unnecessary. I mean like viral attacks will happen. This one is like human-made attack, which is all the more dispiriting. Yeah, let's move on. Second big story of the week, unfortunately, I got to go back to Elon Musk. I mean, this story just kind of wouldn't quit this week, I don't know that anything will come of it, but grock is blocked from undressing images in places where it's illegal after global black backlash. So I guess grok was people were asking it to to make women and children nude and it was doing it. Yeah, so so far Malaysian Indonesia blocked. It is an investigation from the UK's investigation, from the California, California Department of Justice, I don't know, where are we going with this? Where we're going with Elon Musk, I don't even know. He must all know, it's, it's the baby thing. All I know, all I know is that you like the very first thing you would do if you're creating AI that can make images. The very first thing you could do is say, how are people going to make porn out of this or exploit other people with it, right? Like that's the very first thing. Number one, safety thing. Is like, can this be used to sexualize minors or or like fabricate images that can cause Wars? And like how is it going to get misused? First question. And grok did not Elon Musk did not ask that question. In fact, they have to actively allow this kind of stuff which means the 13 year old man baby who was on his way to being a trillionaire. Is and is bored because he runs five companies is no one holds them accountable for anything. Ever no one votes against this fuck face, the old one, the only one holding him even remotely accountable is, is a few American consumers. Few a European consumers are stopped, buying Teslas and people who are flipping off cyber trucks. So giving the middle finger to like, that's it, like that. And what good I mean that 13 year old man, baby. All he wants to do and he's very open about this is like have sex with everyone. He possibly can and baby. She's just doing what she is doing. In fact, actually, Saint Clair who was a conservative influencer, who he had a baby with, and he was trying to keep it secret, she just sued xai, because someone used Brock, to sexualize her to undress her and what's happening there. So they're using grok for this and then they're Seeing it publicly that was happening, they posted or circulated and on X or something. Like this is, just you can post it on Signal to your anywhere, right? Do like you do anything, once it exists, it exists, right? And this is, this is a woman who is a hard-right, conservative influencer, or whatever the fuck that is, who said in 2024, that musk was basically essential to free speech and quote. Truly the only things they will ban are things that are against the law on Rock. Like, that's what they would ban. And apparently not, they will not ban things that are against the law and that's because there's a 13 year old man, baby, who wants to see everyone undressed? Like this is his brain in action and that is running. One of the most like valuable public companies on Earth and who has the most money on Earth. He's literally an infant. He's no, I don't understand, I don't ask this fucking baby, let me ask you this. Apple, the company Apple is, is really known for not that you can't access porn when you're using Apple products, but it's really known for not making it easy and and even what, even in the autocorrect it's like it's even harder to type a swear. Uh, they're very restrictive or they can be, they used to be pretty restrictive with which apps were allowed on their App Store. Why, why were they, why is Xi even a available at the App Store on Apple or because when did Apple, it's fight Elon Musk sued saying that Apple's store discriminates. Yeah, but nude pictures of children. Everyone's a fucking baby. No one stands up for any principle. No, one has any principles. We're talking about pure capitalism. We're in a transactional world, right? Again, again, the the right. It's what you can get the rhetorical question. I keep asking everyone, which I don't need an answer to because I don't want the answer. How does this happen so quickly? Like how did we bring the toilet? Look at a man baby. We elected in 85 year old people angry man. Baby like like I mean he Trump is, I don't know is musk, right? Like they are just but even his but even his allies, give me what I want, man. Babies. But even his allies, and a lot of the people who used to work in his administration, his current allies people like Ted Cruz Lindsay, Grant. They all warned the world about him too, so I was sick offense, right? Just don't understand how we got here so quickly. Anyway, we're at unfortunately of men, where unfortunately, the next story is about Trump as well because this really is this kind of weak. Um, and this was the first reporting I saw that actually, Quantified, what's happening in our, in our, in our current corporate world. Trump canceled, or stopped enforcement against 166 corporations in his first year, many of them were donors. Now that the three companies that highlighted, the highlighted in this article were and which you probably remember, Ripple. They donated five million dollars and then the SEC dropped, its its case against the company. Remember Nicolas, the guy who favored Milton, who's faking his whole and his whole Enterprise he got a presidential. Pardon donated 2 million dollars to Trump, Milton's legal, team included, attorney general, Pam bondi's Brother, Brad Bundy, there you go, and then Amazon. Which was facing an equal employment opportunity commission lawsuit for allegedly discriminated discriminating against pregnant workers. Trump signed a bill to help that go away and and the reporting shows that Amazon donated 1 million to Trump's inaugural fund another million for for streaming the inauguration on Amazon video and then backing Trump's 300 million dollar, golden ballroom, and then agreeing to stream The Apprentice with unspecified payments directly to Donald Trump. And then the last part which is just complete bizarre cronyism to me because I don't know who the hell whatever, watch this paying 28 million dollars. To First Lady Melania Trump for her documentary which will air on Prime which nobody's gonna watch. So this is just, I mean this is just a beautiful splash of Bezos inspired cronies. Let's not forget the Bezos memory. He even the Washington Post decided for the first time ever, not to endorse a presidential candidates. So yeah, let's just now like a pointless like you said, anything coming out of it because he, he's stepped into Like like pull stories and and change them. But this is the first amount of reporting that is actually starting to quantify what's going on in the last one. Yeah, look when we're done with this Administration, whatever comes next. Is it gonna end? I don't know if it ends or not, but the amount of money, the amount of transference of money from regular people, like all the way up into the pockets of seven. Fucking man babies. He's going to be a staggering sum of money. Let's staggering sum on top of that. Listen to our other show, the proxy countdown after Julius this week because some of the things we're going to be highlighting, there are these just out the outrageously escalating Awards going to see CEOs because again, it's another area, where no checks and balances this. That the investors are just sitting on their hands, not fighting back against these absurd games. GameStop's. Ryan Cohen. Just stop 34 billion dollar potentially potential award for game for, for Funk video. Game selling company, you can get a game with the library, go to your library instead. And then finally, the fourth story that we is still on Trump. And I apologize. I hope this won't happen next week, but we started off the week, talking about this. Trump tries to reduce CEO pay, and haul billions in stock BuyBacks at defense contractors. He's not happy about about something going on with defense company. So he now he's becoming an ESG King Kong. He is, he is now the greatest ESG analysts out there because he is now doing what, you know, I wish that, you know, investors would do in ESG professionals would do, which is trying to reduce, do something with, you know, CEO pay. And then remember he all. So, threatened to sideline Exxon with been as well, because he's he's mad at Darren Woods for speaking the truth. So, you know, this this just a crazy world going up there. I, you know as all one story it's like I guess so like one man army and all the money in the world. That's what it is. So what is the most Thing, is it the most important thing that corporations and CEOs are suddenly completely silent and complicit with our world or okay? Yeah, that's that's I'm going with, that's the story that I again. How do we get here so fast? You know, the whole thing with George Floyd, where that's where, we're a lot of this started right with this. This is woke washing and CEOs bending knees and stuff. Now, we have like these secret police forces terrorizing any person of color across the country. I mean, if you, if your skin is not white, you're you could be in danger, even if you were born in the US, even if you have your papers on you here, for 100 years, you should be living in fear. And I don't know how corporations employ, so many of these people, these are, these are the people that help run our country, there are neighbors and our friends. How the hell are they not weighing on on this shit? Really honestly like how, how are you could have something? You know, to say that wouldn't put you on the left or right, you don't have to come out and say that like you're a big giant Democrat. You can just have like civil war words for people. You can just help people kind of get through the. I just really this silence is nonsense. Part of the silence nonsense on your page and you're paid to talk. By the way, you get paid so much money, use your stupid mouths on. They use their Mouse for all sorts of shit. We're really about what happened thinks but what the what the what what is everybody else? Like we track on this, we track on these on these shows every week that they will give you advice about everything, everything you put on write your resume. How you shouldn't go to college anymore because only only, their friend should be smart, you know how to mow your lawn whatever. But this like, look I just study. I don't know. I must have been four years ago. Now three years ago now that where someone on LinkedIn was complaining why doesn't Black Rock Portmore Dei proposals and proxies and stuff like that or or or or, you know, businesses and so I went through and I pulled the pictures and backgrounds of every single portfolio manager. That's an, that works on active equities at BlackRock and 90 six percent of them were men and 95% of them were white. Right. What this is the people that you would expect to maybe say something would be like at a minimum would be the black CEO or a Hispanic woman leading a company saying this is not right because it directly affects not just my employees and my stakeholders and our communities but like I could be a Target personally, right? Like there's there's nothing separating me from like I am them like it's all the same but you want to know what? There are none. It's like where it's gonna take, do you think it's, you know, you think it's gonna something more horrific is gonna happen and what is it? What's it gonna take? I think, I think we're on our way into a Mad, Max sort of like everyone is literally out for themselves. Everything it has to get to everyone is out for themselves before you start to rebuild and you have to, like, this is gonna sound weird, but you have to get rid of men, you have to get rid of them. Like they're, they doesn't help me very much, disarm them. Like send them to all to like a fan of that disarming, disarming men. But, but look, this is why my focus and direction at this company is always been one. Simple one simple thing, get women in leadership, just put women run things for 100 years and then will I will agree 100 years. Now when I'm 4,000 years old, I will, I will help generate a quantitative study to see how women did and then look, if if it's if it's failing I'll consider other things, but let's let women run the companies they stock exchanges probably Banks. The government's, whatever there's going to be probably still work there, but still work. There there would be all sorts of problems, but it doesn't matter because men at a shot and this is what they do. We devolve to our basis instinct which is a 13 year old boy, looking to get laid and blow up, but more than that, that's the important. The mass, all the sex that weapons. They hoard wealth. They threaten you with weapons. Yeah. Anyway. Okay. So that's Story the week. Let's go on to go. So, is there a good list this week? Oh my God, my goodness is horrible. And in the sense that she's doing whatever she can, I don't like my good list. I'll start with my cuz it's just quicker and it's just a reaction to the manosphere and it sucks that it's that this is what it is. But Mackenzie Scott Uh, is the headline is Mackenzie? Scott is using her 26 billion dollar philanthropy push to rescue organizations in danger after the Trump, administration's funding Cuts. So that's just doing what she can write. I mean, well, she's the one like her husband's giving 300 million to fucking the ball, you know, like, Ballroom creation and like inaugurations and whatever the fuck he wants. And look there would be more into my point that I just made in the last segment that if we had more women in power, we had women owning companies. We had women CEOs getting these huge stock awards, then they would be in position to spend their money in ways like this. But the men are the men aren't gonna do it. We know that they don't do it. In fact, you know what the men do? And we see it time of time. They give the money to their own family foundations, and they feel like they have accomplished something. They give it to their Dopey. Kids like Buffett now and black and then the Donor, advised. Somehow these Geniuses of their offspring, they're they're gonna help solve societal issues. No, I mean, they're not qualified for that frankly. Anywhere to ex-husband said it's hard to give away money. That's true. He's got at least just writing checks. That's my goodness. What's your good? My good list is, I mean, you have to like, think a like a step or two down from this. But RFK Juniors. Health Department is studying health effects of cell phones, okay? Which like health effects like which part of it like the radiation or yes the brain. Okay part that has largely conspiracy like study the conspiracy theory part like but it's it's been studied. The science is basically like it doesn't seem to conclude that there's any negative health effects, but rfg Juniors out there saying, you don't know how bad Wi-Fi is and cell phones are. And they're radiating us, we're who fired all the signs who's there. But here's the here's why this is great, right? Because even if they come out with spurious, Horrible, non-scientific research. This is your cell phone and Wi-Fi will give you ball cancer. It doesn't, it doesn't matter if it's serious and horrible and terrible, it could mean that people get off their fucking phones, really off the computer. I think, if some there are people out there who are like who are thinking like this and if the health department comes out with something that says you need Wi-Fi in your home, is a danger, it causes cancer and it's worse on kids. It doesn't matter what the science is because nobody actually reads the science. Anyway, there is someone somewhere who will turn off their Wi-Fi and that would make me happy. I feel like that would be great D. Radicalize Yourself by getting offline. Stop watching Netflix and start fighting for something. Go out with a friend. Have a barbecue! Do anything else? I love it. I think it's chance to do something. I you're you're dreaming and help affect how about the fact that our head of our health, it doesn't even exercise scientific theory anymore. He Exercise is conspiracy theory so he so he, he decides it's all men deciding what men he decides first, but not by observing data, and observing facts. He decides first what's happening. And then he goes, and he sniffs around for something to support. He, he looks for New York Post articles and things coming out of Boyer research or whatever to support his. You know, I talked to somebody today who works in the ESG space don't space. And it was saying that like, you know, the portfolio managers that they work with. They loved to talk about how they pick great management teams and they and they stick with them and like they think great management teams make great companies and those are great investment. The Quantified that anybody. And I said, I said, yeah, what's their quantification? It was like, yeah, there is none there. They use. Like, oh, you're alive and like the whatever and it's like know, how do you pick a great management team? Do you know if that's a person? You know, if that's luck, you know, if The product that they developed 40 years before this management team even showed up is all, they're making the money on, they just moving money around. Like, you just think efficiency is great. You what is great? What is a great management team? And in the end, no one ever has an answer to that just like RFK Jr. Never has an answer for, why the hell? He's studying cell phones, it's just what? I feel, it's whatever I feel And sometimes what you feel will be right? All right, let's do asshole. You ready? Because it's not gonna get better. I'm already down. Is this gonna make me feel? It's gonna be worse. We already talked about, you mentioned Target and Brian, Cornell, Brian Cornell's, my first nominees for asshole of the way before I get. There is Brian Cornell, is he still currently the CEO? Is he transition executive Cherry? Yeah. Oh, he's executive chair now. I think so he's not worried but he's not. Oh, when do you know when the transition happened? I thought it was like January or Jan 15 or something, all right? But here is, I'm gonna give you some quotes of things that Brian Cornell said, because you said, they have said they've been silent. They haven't said anything. Here are the quotes. These are real quotes from Brian Cornell. The man, you know, you're not making this up. I'm not making any of these quotes up. These are real quotes right? From the mouth of Brian Cornell. I watched the video as quote and that way. Hold on, hold on. Yeah. February 1st, he's still currently CEO. So he actually is still in charge of the message that one. Okay, so still I'm saying, but I'm saying that you can very important out. Yeah. Can still do this? Go ahead, go ahead. All right, quote That could have been one of my target team members. Wait, what? There's just, listen, just I'm gonna, okay, what's quote? We have to be the role models that drive change and our voices, important. And we've got to make sure that we represent our company principles, our values, our company purpose, on the issues that are important to our teams, he's saying stuff like this quote, the eyes of America and the eyes of the world were on Minneapolis. Yeah, that's true. It's still are go ahead as a Target team. We've huddled we've caught consoled. We've witnessed horrific scenes similar to what's playing out now and wept that not enough is changing. And as a team we vote to face pain with purpose. I know where you're going with. This guy, got to stay in Discovery where you're going. We got to stand up and do more. Yeah, that's what he said in 2020 years with George Floyd, that's what he said. He went on every fucking TV show and six years statement, they put out an actual statement Target did, and this is all this stuff. Yeah, this is when they stepped into every other CEO was talking about Dei and how we had to do more because there were there was outrage on the streets and everyone was saying everyone was coming out and saying, oh, we've got to do more. We got to stand in solidarity with our black brothers and sisters. Am I right? Am I right folks? Well, you know what's crazy on top of that, is it, this is a company headquartered in, in Minneapolis, in a state with of the very proud Progressive history. I mean, this is not like, it's not like they represent the constituents of Oklahoma. I mean, they're in Minnesota for Christ's sakes. I mean, the Renee good gets shot and killed by an ice agent. There are raids of of like, it doesn't matter. If you're an undocumented immigrant, or you're just a person, they, there's no due process. They are taking people away from their families. They're locking them up with. No, no reason, no nothing where the fuck are you Brian Cornell in your city? I don't you. This is all the bullshit that you said at the Time. You could literally say every single one of those sentences right now today you've said nothing again. I I know I I I'm a risk for sounding childish which I often him and on this because most of the time my opinion just devolves into like everything's crazy. Which I think I might be right after saying for years that everything's crazy but A just as a leader. Of. Of people especially like and I'm talking about a leading, a team of 10. I mean, he, you know how many at least 100,000 people probably work at Target, if not way, more way more. Yeah, this is a leader. How about just some consoling words? How about like, how about just like, is Trump removed our ability to like take care of each other? Because he's just an elected official. This is just an elected official on a democracy. So, here's the thing. What about, you know, what about just calming words, what about just supporting each other? We don't again, we don't have to announce that, you know, we vote for this or vote for that. We can just take care of each other, bro. Just in case, you're worried Michael fiddelke, the incoming CEO didn't say anything either and bold, maybe he will. Maybe on February 4th of them, recognize that Target, the brand. The company has the potential to last longer and Legacy than any one of these elected officials. Well, let's see if you target. We know. Probably will already existed for what 40 years. Like that has no identity anymore. It's just it's just everyone hates it. That's 10x the presidential term. And you've said nothing and just in case you were wondering if the maybe someone on the board would say something. Go ahead, Derek or rice on this board flipped on Dei at Disney. So doubt he's gonna say something here. He's not gonna step out Demetri Stockton flipped on Dei evidence to Deer. These are two black men, right? Black men. He did a deer and Black & Decker. He's not gonna say anything Grace. Puma is on the board of Target. She's actually on the board of 66. Also, who just met with Trump about Venezuelan oil and their into it, they're a fighter, she gets, she's not gonna come out and say something about Christine Lee, who's the CEO of CDC W, which is like the, you know, Electronics. Parts. She actually has an 11 billion dollar worth of government contracts over the last decade, 270 Million last year. What she gonna come out and and say like, oh the Trump Administration is bad. No, they have government contracts, that are good to do that. David abney's on the board of Northrop Grumman they're definitely not going to say anything. They're actually supplying ice with shit. Monica Lozano also was on the board of Disney, Brian Cornell, and Michael fiddelke. Both there are both on the board. They run this board. That means a minority of directors who are left, who could have sent something or might have said something, or would have thought about saying something, definitely or not going to since everybody else on the board has interesting. This is what's this is the problem, you're highlighting silent. You're highlighting something that I never wanted to get to get to this point. When we started this company, I never wanted to be important in this way, but, but you're highlighting that how important it is to know who sits on your boards and who runs your company is because there is a an inner Network of people who control these things. And I don't mean this is sound like a conspiracy theory because it's not this is just backed up by the data. And what everything you just said, is not based on a conspiracy is just you're just demonstrating just all the way, these tentacles intersect so more than ever. This is a reason why consumers need to understand who runs these companies. And investors need to be involved with making change because the alternative democracy that is this annual meeting that goes on every year. You know, it might be a conduit to make some change, right? I mean, it's possible. I mean, if you let it all, I know is that you do a collectively, go like I'm in a race to flag humans. That do these kind of things right now where I'm coding. It free flow analytics, it's got a tremendous amount of data. They're working with more like this stuff's important. And the output of it will be a list of people who and all the companies that are that they're on who are bending the knee and allowing this stuff to happen, who are unwilling to speak up, where unwilling to basically risk anything of their own, their, at their own self-interest. They can say shareholders all day long. That's, but that's not what it is. Just stop right there self. It's all about self-interest, right? So that's number one. Maintaining their status quo with their well, and maintaining their status quo with their Network. Yeah, they're never gonna you. Yeah, sit it's here. Keep going. Keep going. Number two, Brian act, man or Bill. Ackman. Sorry, Brian. Cornell's number one, bill ackman's. Number two, I don't want to hear this and look, I don't have to say that much. This is actually super fast because Bill Ackman donated, 10,000 dollars on a GoFundMe to the ice officer John Ross. So he looking guys name, the guy's name is Jonathan Ross? Yeah. Say his name? Yeah, hold on. He publicly did this, like, he announced this? No. So you have the option to make your donation, Visible or did that Anonymous and he decided that because what he's have to hide, it should be visible what he said he's doing. So this is a, this is a political. She said, he said, it wasn't political, he said this is his evidence. He said he tried to donate to the family of the woman who was shot. Karen would be good, but their go fund me had closed already. Why would it closed as in it expired, right? Like why would it expire? Because they hit their target goal or whatever and get them, a check, the one of the richest men in the country. Cannot figure out how to donate 10,000 dollars to the family of a woman, whose shot for doing nothing. So he so he's no liar. But by saying that he realizes the Optics of his monstrosity, right? Like he knows what he immediately stepped out and said you are presumed innocent until proven guilty, he was this as a way. Get on Fox. What about her? I mean of course you did that has nothing to do with it. He's this is all about face. She came and face a trial. She can't face it all about listening to himself fucking Gap. He just wants everyone to pay attention to him. I don't get this, I don't have to do any of this one. He couldn't give in the family of that guy, 10,000 bucks in cash by a career with no name on it. But no, he chose to put his name on it. He chose to only give it to him, he and he said he tried to give it to her, but it already closed he said he said this. That's what he said. He's he's very, he's trying to be incredibly visible about what he's doing so that everyone will talk about Bill Ackman again. So he can he goes, we are million Twitter followers. This is like worse. What a fuk and self-interest and this category right now because it my vote he's but he's part of a much bigger problem which is it gets back to eating at embedding ice right? Like AT&T Booze Allen. Comcast Del, General Dynamics. L3 Harris, Motorola Solutions, they all have direct contracts with ice. They all have a lot to lose everybody who is out there yapping and talking there is an entire you want to talk conspiracy theory. The conspiracy is that people with money do not want to lose their fucking money, and they will not say anything that will jeopardize any amount of money that they could lose. That's not about shareholders and whatever that's self-interest. And it's all men who are self-interested women. Not involved in this conversation at all. And I don't shut your fucking mouth. No one. I don't, I don't know the full. There might be some decisions on there, might be some reasons behind this financial reasons behind us. I'm not aware of But there's a very small Airline. I know that there are I only know a heard of it because it runs direct flights from Portland to New Haven, which is unusual. I didn't even know that could be a possibility. It's called avalo Arrow. Yeah. They're the, they're the ones transporting all the immigrants. So as of nine days ago as of nine days ago, they announced that they are ending their relationship with ice. So I was putting it out there that it's possible that you can do it. And again, maybe they did it for financial reasons. I don't even care, but you can't, you can't do it. You can really ship the ice and you know what? You can make up some financial reasons if you worry about the political storm. But but you can end these relationships, I mean, it can happen, Okay? Motorola Solutions, Del I want to do. I want to take a flight now on avalo airlines up to Portland. If it's still exists, if it's still that if that route still Exists. I mean, who knows? I'm not actually going to do that anyway. Um all right and last and this is just a lame last one because I saw this headline. Go ahead. It it's it's basically men who who are from Stanford who keep going out and saying they, they love people who didn't go to Stanford. Basically, what are we doing? This is like, and again, we've been tracking this all year but why, why are the? Elite is the CEOs, the wealth order's. Why are they telling you? Why are they telling regular people to yeah, to keep themselves. Dumb, what are we doing? This is this is the, this is like reaganism. Like on steroid, this is like, sad. This is sad, funding. Is it? Because is that tell you not to go, is it? Because Sergey Brin, realizes that, if you did, go to college and took some ethics, of course, is or whatever. You might realize that the amount of power that was out of control or something. Here's the headlines, Google, Sergey Brin, admits, he's hiring tons of workers with without degrees quote. They just figure things out on their own in some weird Corner. That's what does that mean? What I Understanding statement is that what? But what again like we're we allow these people to speak in like these these like unquantifiable feelings based nonsense. Like like what does that mean? What are they who was first of all, Tons. How many workers is he talking about without? No, really. I want to know how many thousands of workers he's hired without degrees and I want to know who they is, whose figuring out? What, what problems are they working on where and what's the weird corner? Like what why, what is intrinsically weird about these people and they're actually been what do you talkin about that? There should be some trigger that when you're this dumb and egotistical, you should have feel like release back some of your wealth back into the, like, the public, the public market, right? Like so he shouldn't be allowed to hold, this should be attacks against stupidity and arrogance. So it turns out that 76 the last according to google itself, 706% of Google, people have a bachelor's or Master's and then another 16% have a PhD. So who was he talking about these, like, three guys in Carl, who, like, or are we talking about, like, Like workers in like the Philippines and India as we talking about who don't like of course, accredited degrees from you just talked about, like, I'm just tired of these guys who all went to Stanford. I regardless if they dropped out or not, they all went to alert. This is triggering God, which we move on? I can't do this anymore. I can't I can't because just the idea of a company of their stature that relies on. We're talking about scientific theory before but relies on on the history of scientific and mathematical Discovery to even be an existence. This guy is talking down the benefits of a college degree. I like specifically saying that he hires tons of people who don't who figure who just magically figure things out in some weird Corner, not just Corner a weird Corner. Yeah so is a idiot, I'm sorry Cornell bill was right there should be a I don't do ties. Should be a tie but but I'm gonna go to Bill. Ackman on this one, for just being. Oh yeah, monster of a loser. It's it's really the, the worst possible thing you could do set. It's so patently. Awesome, so bad. It's just about his own and I didn't realize the thing about trying to donate to Renee Goods family, that makes it that makes it better go 100x multiplier of how much of an asshole. This guy is. I mean let's do headlines winners. Come on, let's get going. We'll move quick. We'll move quick. I've got two headlines. I only have one we do yours. Tech billionaire Force to rename humongous yacht. After realizing it spelled something horrible backwards. Did you see this story? Now I did. All right. So let me let's play along what Can you guess the tech billionaire? I mean, we know a lot of them have humongous yard, he think the tech billionaires, well, we know Bezos built his in like the Netherlands. Got your guests know, he was so we know he has it. I have another another tech, billionaire, who built another one. I would say Zuck. It's close enough. It's it's it's the kind of the, the new Mega Prince Larry Ellison, okay, so. Okay, to spend, okay. And and can you even guess even this through me, I mean, can you even guess what it is what it says when it's spelled backwards said backwards, that's really hard to Guess that I know, I know. So, it's so ridiculous. I mean, it's gonna be like, is it gonna spell like it's named Lana's which is anal backwards. I wish I wish we were still at that sophomore part of our of our history here in the United States. But it's, it's almost worse. It's worse. It's and, and all of this is kind of a summation of all your complaining today about all the 13 year, old Tech, wealth hoarders. But when it when spelled backwards it's it's says I'm a Nazi, you kidding me? No he named his ya is a Nami and when he finally realized it says I'm a Nazi backwards. He renamed it so I'm like get to me in the first place that thing. Is that a place? I just these people are. I've had enough again just like Sergey Brin for this. Condescending statement about people figuring things on a weird Corners. There should be a stupidity tax on Larry Ellison. It should be about like a 15% tax. I mean, I got to pay taxes. You know Resort fees or even when I spit go to a hotel. Now, they make up all these taxes. So why aren't these guys? Why don't they have idiot taxes? Whereas their idiot text. All right, well, we got speaking of idiots, I have two and they're just headline based, they're just the joke in the headline first, one opposition to Elon musk's AI stripping clothing off children is nearly Universal pollution. Nearly. Okay. Here's our for it. Like 96. I read the article, 96% said, they shouldn't be able to generate undressed images of minors. And I want to know, are they going to release the 4%? Like who says? Well, maybe 3% said, I don't know to be fair. Maybe that even then yeah. Maybe there were in the, in a weird Corner, solving an algorithm for alphabet. Here's, here's the worst that couldn't focus on the question. Yeah, actually, here's the part that trigger. I almost put this in asshole, holy ass because it triggered me so much but I couldn't because it was a little bit funny too. You realize the nearly Universal number. The number of people who nearly universally agree that Elon musk's xai should not be able to undress. Children is the same number of people who agree on average for every director every director. Yeah. Every single director. Yeah. Every one I might be getting worse because I tracked a lot of meetings this week for proxy content and I saw a lot of like 99 plus 99% plus people who agree on the fiduciaries. You elect is the same. As the number of people who agree on, we shouldn't undress Minor's with AI. I think that number should be different. I just the other one. Yeah, Jamie Diamond slams doj probe of Jerome. Powell warning investigation. Could Stoke inflation. I just like that. It wasn't Jamie dimon says, it was Jamie Diamond slam. Jamie had two kind of like not overtly anti-trump gestures this week but, you know, they're kind of in the ballpark, he also came against This the cap, the table. You want to 10% cap on? Oh yeah he didn't like that. Yeah so Trump said it's because he wants more money right. Whether it's self-serving or not at least Jamie is at least still saying stuff. No I go be better. Slammed who won the week for you? Well, as a callback to my target story to The Silence of Target in their last press release. My winner is the the aforementioned acclaimed, interior designer, Jeremiah Brent. And his new exclusive bedding collection at Target because I want, What could be more important, right? I mean, That forbid, you have like some gray sheets. Like this is important stuff people. I don't care. Honestly, I don't care. Who is threatening my constituents, my customers, my employees but you know, we got Jeremiah Brent, making some sheets. That's, that's really what's important in America. Is it not? So he's the winner Jeremiah good for you buddy. Wow, that's a good one actually. I don't know if he beat that my name is Rhode Island. Oh is he serious? Yeah because the the revolution wind project which the Trump Administration, interior Secretary of interior, Doug burgum. Yeah, I pretty sure my parade intelligent, Douglas lady Doug, who masquerades is a. I think he drinks oil at home. He, he lost his argument that wind farm would disrupt military Radars. Because if that was the case, can you imagine like, wouldn't you like China? Just put up. In farms all along the coast, of course, the American Military would be like, what? A liar. That's what we call a liar. Is it like a guy? It's speaking of Stanford. He he got his MBA at Stanford. So he so he clearly they must have taught him but to lie to be a bullshit artist. Stanford is the worst place in this and sure. Yeah, go ahead. So that's like that one because now 350000 homes will be powered by wind despite Trump trying to kill it so good for you Rhode Island. Do you got a prediction for the week? Okay, my predictions a bit odd. So just bear with me on this one and excuse me, for trying to inject a little bit of levity into this horrible week. But okay, my predictions that Target is going to very lazily repurpose an actual news feature. It put out on October 20th. It had a news feature because I spent a lot of time on Target's website that's website and its public facing website this week. They actually had a story. I can't believe, I couldn't believe it called targets partnership with rice. Fueling a more inclusive economy, right? So all the, so all the the the the the the the Maga fret all the target weirdo is they're just gonna lazily repurpose that article to Target partnership with ice fueling a more exclusive economy. See what I did there. I see what she did. You just targets partnership with rice feeling a more. I just thought it was weird. That of all things. They have a thing about their partnership with rice. All capital letters. I did, is Target related to. My prediction is pretty simple. I predict that Brian Cornell seeing the error of his ways and his total silence. Actually leaves his high office in a Target, Minneapolis steps outside. He's seen outside ice officer, Jonathan Ross's house kneeling in solidarity. The burning some gay pride merchandise. This is perfect. This is kind of like Jamie Diamond. Neil that a member at a Chase bank, right? Paying money to Jonathan Ross. So yeah, why not bring her know what come out. Yeah, good, don't eat some money. Don't have knee. Sit on one knee and and, and, and show the world what you think about it? That's all we got. That's hazelnut Rallis, I'm here. No, soulmate, we are free float. Come back next week when we've got more things to tell you about how horrible things. No, next week's gonna be good. I'll stop it. It's gonna be better. It's got a better. I hope it's better. Hopefully it's better until then good. Bye.
