Matt first, I have I'm calling this a board sabermetrics, plug because any chance I get to to care about the people who run companies. I'm going to point it out. Because we're almost like you're selling something well we've developed a product called board saber metrics. Yeah, that dives Deeply. Into the people into the people of the G, the the people of the Jew. All kinds of exciting things, influence score anyway. We talked about it a lot. I don't you want to say anything. Can I keep going? No look it's just the greatest thing you don't own yet so get it. Okay. I am plugging our new product board paper Matrix base on this article. I saw out of all places cleave scene.com. What's the Cleveland newspaper out there in Cleveland Ohio. Here's the Cleveland. Yeah here's the headline. Here are all the Filthy Rich clevelanders going to D and Jimmy Haslam's house to donate 25.000 dollars to JD Vance, okay? I know this is confusing, not a typical business pants story, let me help you out. Matt, first of all, who is Jimmy Haslam? Fraudster and owner of the Cleveland Browns. Yes, he is a very white tooth dude. Who owns the? There he is. He owns the Cleveland Browns. He's got very nice white teeth, and he inherited his daddy's Corporation pilot company, which is a joke, he inherited his dad, his company, Now he owns the Browns, he's been in the news a lot recently not only for being a big supporter of JD Vance so we'll get to in a second but he just he just basically traded. 4,000 draft picks for a quarterback named Sean Watson, who is been, who is been sued by more than two dozen female massage therapist for sexual harassment and sexual assault. The quarterback was suspended for 11 games, blah blah blah. The NFL Matt actually wanted to suspend him for more but I don't know, they didn't get they didn't get what they wanted. Hey yeah yeah this is now this is not led to a culture in Cleveland that include Brown's fans selling T-shirts. That read things like bitch. Give me a massage holding up signs that say things like fuck them hoes alongside a child that reads, free Watson and then all so wearing Watson jerseys with the names rubbing and tugging. So this is a Ball culture. Now going out there in Cleveland a team owned by Jimmy Haslam. Okay, that's the back guys. Jimmy Haslam. Okay. I love, I love a good society that like where Goldman Sachs berries, rape and sexual harassment, for a 10-year period. And and Jimmy Haslam is happy to spend Millions upon millions of dollars. On a harasi rapey kind of quarterback. I should add what why? Diversity matters. Yeah I should add that Jimmy has on gave this guy the biggest guaranteed contract in NFL history in history. All he had to do something million was tossed off his previous team because he sexually harassed allegedly, he doesn't of women. The insulted, the previous team was so angry that they just never let him play again. Never again. Yes. But here's Jimmy Haslam to the rescue and then he's holding a fundraiser for JD Vance, who is JD Vance. I don't want to get too deep into politics here. It's not really what we do but we're, let's just call him a truck loving. He's a trump, loving gay and woman hating conspiracy, not out there from Ohio, who's currently running for US Senate? That's a JD Vance's. Okay, okay good. What do I bring this up because of this article I asked you who exactly came to Jimmy's house so I did I did the math here. Oh, let's there are 20. Here we go, 22 people, 22 people listed as the entities, which tend to be listed up coming to this fundraiser. And there they are representatives from up to six publicly traded companies. Okay, so that's not just people from, you know, the next door. Neighbor's hot tub or whatever. These are, okay. Not not the rich guy who sells insurance down the street out of these 22 people here. They here's who they are. I I did all the research, here's where they are. We have 12 CEOs. Oh, five founders. Five. Chairman Man. One CEO One Direction. How'd they get in and a hobbyist golf course owner. One in there for comedy, but that's actually true. So, when you were just, I okay, here's why I put the story together, man, because these are the people. You're, you know, I know you're all worried and Henry your hand ringing about the upcoming elections, and these are the people supporting a candidates like this. But these are just normal people. These are your CEO's, your Founders, your chairs, your directors and and our board saber matrix product. Matt is going to help shine a light on these people. Yeah, we already sent a light. Yeah, I don't know if anybody listened to yesterday's show. Yeah. Um, we're doing corporate theater on Tuesdays but at the tail end of the show, I did a bit a follow-up on Doug Ramsey, the CEO of beyond meat who bit a man's nose off in a parking lot after a college football game. And found out that Doug Ramsey. Got his CEO position, probably because he knows the head of the nominating committee. Personally through business transactions that they did when he was at Tyson Foods and the head of the nominating. Committee was at yum brands who buys chicken exclusively from Tyson Foods. So we can find those things for you. That that seems important doesn't it. Yeah, it does. It does seem important, Matt. It's a seam important before I get anybody's story, okay? Again these are the 22 people who were going to Jimmy hussle's fundraising party for jade events including 12. Founders five. I'm sorry 12. Anybody good five chairs, I special. Shout out to one group in particular, the NRP group. Okay, this is not a, the biggest names here. Matt are the Chariton Co at trans diggum. I don't know what Aerospace parts, manufacturer forget about that. I want to do a special go to the next slide. Special shout out to NRP group. Which features I went to their website, which features a leadership page with the photo of a black man. Leading a meeting to a group. Wow. So he's look at this picture. He's leading a meeting. This, this is the leadership page. This is their leadership page. NRP group. Okay, I like it. It's a black man leading. A meeting to a group of five people, which includes three women, what one of them is a black woman. Okay? But I did the research Matt. Here's where I get a little confused. I did the research. There's a list of 61 people on the leadership roster and RP group. I had to scroll down all the way to person. Number 56 to find a black man, okay? That's the only black person out of 61 people and this is in Cleveland of all, you know, this is not a, this is not a lily White City. This is Cleveland. I had to scroll down to number 56 to find a black man and I have a picture. That's not the same black, man. That's a different black man. That's all I'm saying. So I don't know what NRP group. I don't know what you're doing. I know you're all caught up in the anti-wolf wars which will segue to next with Matt, but you're kind of also you. You're so you're you're, you're using photos to show a black leader at a company where you have no black leaders, but you're you're, but you're supporting political candidates who are against woke to. I don't really know what's going on. What is happening? Look, here's your problem. You don't get joke woke, that's what this is. This joke, quote because the joke here, NRP group there in Ohio, I hope you're listening. Is that a black man would be a leader at your car. That's a joke. You got it. Yeah, you got it. Oh yeah. Okay. Look you Got the Joker on the what he got for us, man. All right, let's do I got nothing hugely impressive. So why is that Because everything's breaking news here. Okay. So I have some Vivek updates. Everybody wants a good Vivic update, you know. Matt is he buying our headlines and articles like he's he's a new Tariq fancy. That's what he is. He's everywhere the anti-walk. Tariq fancy. What I hears. Here's the thing about Vivic, if you don't know who Vivica is, he's found he wrote the book called woke Inc, for Ohio from Ohio. He's from Ohio, he basically is just on a speaking tour, raising money for strive Asset Management, in which they strive to be anti-woke. He says that's all over the place that they, um, they're about, they're non-partisan. This is what he says, these are quotes. I'm not making it up. They said they're not partisan and he says that they what their goal is is effectively to democratize investing so that the people The the funds reflect the people. All right. Here's wait. Is that wait, wait back up a second. Is that really truly? That thing is you supposed to strive is that? Or are you making it a joke in which they strive to be anti-woke? Is that really what he didn't say that? He didn't say, they strive to be answered. Hoping? No, like you strive for something. Yeah, I want to, I want to give you. Here's some nuggets from vivix World, okay. First first in what has to be. I don't know if we have music for this, but this is the best anti woke interview description of all time out of the ft. From from Vivic. That's really that's good music for this because it was creepy. Okay. All right. Maybe here's the creepiest. Anti-walk interview of all time. Yeah. He says. He said he met recently with chevron's Chief Financial Officer. Chevron is one of the Holdings of strive as a kill that music is its I can't understand. So you Um, he met recently with chevron's CFO to lay out his belief, that oil companies have no business trying to bring down the carbon emissions of their suppliers and customers. That's what he met with the CFO to say. Now the fact that this guy gets a meeting with the CFO one of the CFO meet with us. We have more information about what Chevron actually does then Vivek does. He's just he's a political pundit, effectively. Yes. But here's the quote, a little theater man. Yes, here's the best quote of all time. Quote, it's like McDonald's volunteering to take responsibility for the adult body, weight of anyone who is eating a Big Mac. He said, Over a meal during which he ordered five different. Mexican dishes took a few bites of each and left the rest uneaten. The Ft made sure to point out. That. Yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't that, I don't know if is it comedy? But the other team you point out? That he he ordered five Mexican dishes. Yeah. Took a few bites of each and left the rest uneven. What is that? Is that like a macho display of? Well, the power, I don't know what that is. What do you know that someone at the Ft thought? That was amazing. I think it's actually important side, note there. It's I think it is demonstrating something. I don't know what, Oh, and yes, food waste food. Waste is woke. Maybe that, maybe that's what it's demonstrating. He's striving to point out that he's always staring about wasting food is woke and PS. McDonald's, taking responsibility for the BMI of its customers. Is in fact important because why is that, why is it, why is this a problem anyway? Well, that night, he's basically saying McDonald's, your lane is shoving diabetes down people's throats. You need to stay in your lane and stop doing what people want which is to get healthier. Just stop it. That's when he's saying, is that what he saying? I love it, I don't know what he's saying. Yeah, these analogies are for third graders. Frankly, my second update, just from vivids world is straight from strive strive strive strive straight from strive. Here is, I've read, they just launched a new fund, s t r v is the ETF and they've already launched, drll drill and strive. These are the two ETFs that they launched. It is. Comedy. I love Stripes. Matt. Yeah. Is there anything better than ticker humor? It is not enough of it. I mean, real and strive. I mean, what a brilliant. I mean, ticker humor. It's the greatest. Someone's got they, I think they outlaw like, definitely inappropriate. You can't get ass right, for instance, right? Like, can you get, can you get drill or strive as a license plate? Is that is that allowed? I don't know. He might own the rights to it. Now, we don't have to pay him royalties. The royalties are they woke? Are they? Yeah, they might be woke. They might be white. So, I don't have to pay. Here's from Stripes website. This is what strive is attempting to achieve with these funds. Quote strive is an Ohio, based asset manager, mint firm, whose mission is to restore the voice of everyday citizens in the American economy. By guiding companies to focus on Excellence over politics. What does that mean? Every what is that every day? America is that code for something? What is that every day citizens? We are not the citizens. You're only here on weekends, wait. But three days to do I count? As that, like do that, I care about McDonald's, making their customers unhealthy and dying, heart attacks. I feel mine every day. American not you Matt. Stop it Vivek. Am I in it? Every day American that I care about like women in leadership for instance, just so I count. Do I socialists? That's the problem. Here's how he described to Bloomberg. Strive can speak for the silent, majority of Americans want busy mind, it's business majority. And this is from Vivic, and a speech himself strive will speak for the forgotten. The disempowered, abused for the 100 plus ordinary investors. Whose voice is being drowned out by elitist. Big money. We allow people to speak in a way. They haven't been able to speak before. Do you get the sense? Do you get what's going on here? I really don't because people to talk because Matt, the silent majority. Does he mean that the three out of the last four times, the Republican has won the presidency in America that they've lost a popular vote? Is that what he means about the silent majority? I think the silent majority he's talking about is investor the investor majority. Like the majority saying, yeah BlackRock is the liberal elitist cabal running. Sure the country and the silent American majority of investors. Needs to stand up and he's giving them a voice to do that great. And this, this is their great coup at strive because this Is what they do to give them the voice. This is a quote directly from strives proxy voting guidelines. Okay. In the absence of specific voting guidelines from the fund. The Firm will vote proxies in the best interests of the fund. Such as to say, we will vote the proxies. However, we see fit. The Voice you got. Okay. Do you like the, do you like The Voice? You got every day. Americans, just got a voice. Which? Okay, strive says, what they will do or his voice and that voice will generally vote in favor of routine. Corporate housekeeping, Protocols are proposals, such as the selection of auditors. As long as the selection of Auditors is quote absent conflicts of interest. A little G that sounds very just Chief thought though, right? That's not what ESG measures for and there's a I don't think he saw the Jeep. I think he's confused, he must have that wrong. Because why would he have a say in that? Why should he get to say in the conflicts of interest at? He's confused there, I think. But he also says that strive, The Firm will generally vote in favor of an advocate for board members. So he's going to green light board members generally. So only white board members may be. No, it doesn't say that. It does say, We'll vote, will generally vote against board members and proposals that advanced social or political agendas. I thought there were non-partisan There are, they are so they're gonna removing all agendas. So will they've all genetics and all agendas. So they're gonna vote against the anti-woke proposals. The narrow companies, right? They need to vote again. Right. Basically, if there's a proposal from a shareholder from the left, or right, well, on it, it's just gotta be. No, they just want to see proof of this. And then, after I looked at all of this and realized that they're just effectively every other fund, it pains me to tell you this, I ran DRL the energy fund for Vivek, ramaswamy strive Asset Management. Yeah, anti-woke energy fund I ran it through msci's ESG, portfolio, analysis, tool. Yeah. msci rates at Triple, A What? the Holdings in that camp be Our rated. Triple A as a group by MSI, this is really like top ESG rated energy funds. Yeah, that you can get, I don't understand. Something must be wrong. Fact, nearly half of the funds holding. Yeah, had upward momentum on ESG ratings meeting msci, has either ratings, they're getting better and better gonna say about this. You think what will be my guess is channel Living For Us? Yeah, my guess is he picked them so that he can knock them all down, so he can D woke up them. They're two good understanding. They've all got top ratings. The top holding is Exxon too good on way too woke. Chevron two woke. Get out. We gotta kill the wokeness and that I think is what's happening. He currently Unwittingly is the best ESG energy fund for fossil fuels that you can buy. Right now. So go get away. That's Congratulations, by the way, for becoming. I think he's the new Arbiter of truth and the world. He might be the, he's the Emperor of Truth. I he representing representing every day, Americans representing the people to sound majority, the people in the shadows and I like to know was these? I'm saying that I like all now that he determines what's quote unquote political or not. So if you're so say there's a history of sexual harassment at your company, right? And a shareholder wants to have a report on that because that's terrible. Old Vivek at this gets determined, maybe that's political map. Maybe asking about, no methodology. Yeah, getting assaulted by your manager. That sounds political, right? That sounds Democrat. You see something a demo. I congratulations, Vivic. You're, you're a true. You're the true Arbiter of truth of the EMP of the world. That's all right. Let's play a game. Let's get out of this. I'm exhausted, okay. Here we go. Matt we have a woke versus climate change. Headline War this is completely arbitrary meaningless stupid whatever you want to give it. This is a nonsensical game where you're gonna tell the audience, a climate change headline, I'm gonna counter with a woke headline and then we're gonna see who wins. What's winning? We didn't have, we didn't have a very thorough reproduction meeting on this one. We need this so arbitrary. All right, yeah, go ahead. Number one first headline. And this is the headlines have a theme. They are climate change things that you probably won't like but like it okay, that's the theme number one climate change is making the skies worse for Astronomy. Oh, all because harder to use your telescope why clouds I don't I yeah exactly. I was the worst weather, pollutants. Pollutants. Yeah. All like it all first. Yeah. All right, I have one. These are my I have a list of five woke headlines, all things meant to trip. I guess the trigger, the viveks in the world, I suppose these are Vivint triggers. I suppose vigors. Yeah, here's the first one. The EU. Splashes taxpayer cash on lipstick lessons, in Lacey lingerie for men. Okay, good headline. I, you know, though I'll say this I do think Skies worse for astronomy, is is More annoying to me you don't like trigger the trigger of a million euros funding for a diversity projects. You don't know. That doesn't really trick or me. That's right number. So I'm gonna say that. I won that one. Yeah. You think you won that one? Number two, you start you go. Number two, a Vivic woke trigger headline. Former education. Secretary Betsy DeVos says woke. Teachers unions are holding children hostage Oh, what do you think about that one? It's a good one, right? I love that. It's nice right, woke unions. Holding kids hostage. This is great. I like very visual. All right, I don't know if I can beat that, but I'm gonna go with this giant. Climate change, could mean more intense Locust, outbreaks, and threaten food security. Yeah, locusts, I'm gonna give me the win on this one because we covered that, oh, fast. How dare you? Did we really? I don't know. Okay, next up, I'll do the next one which is climate change is turning the trees into gluttons trees are getting fat on co2. I like that. How about this one my woke trigger headline. My daughter woke up with a wart. Now she has a hole in her face. Hey, this is what this algorithm. That is collecting. All the Wolves, all the world news, all the anti-walk, all the anti-esg, it captured that one. So I included. I like that one. That one's way better. I thought fat trees was funny, but not funny than that. What's your next one? 19 people who woke up one morning and immediately regretted every single decision. They made that day. That's a headline. This is journalism, Matt. Yeah, what do you got that one loses out to climate change, Blues, many lakes to turn green and brown. Oh yeah, magazine. I know this is true because I was just visiting my, my son's friend that they're in Massachusetts to lives on a little Lake and it turned green. So that's not, that's not wrong. Thank you, climate change, breakthrough. I'm I got the win on that one. And finally for me. Yeah, the most serious climate change implication. In the history of climate change. The future of golf in a world of climate change. It's an article about how golfing will may not survive in certain places. Thanks to climate change. I think that's that's something for good news. No, I don't know how to take that. A good game for next week I got for you beat it. Got this one, sports pundit, Mark lawrenson, takes aim at woke BBC. And blames his firing on being a 65 year, old white male. This is a good one. I have to give you a little bit of context. He was complaining that because he's because he's a 65 year, old white man and it's what times that he's not allowed to say what he wants to say, you know, because that's what they, that's what I can't say. Here's the quote from the article. In all my time at the BBC. Nobody ever said, you can't say this or that but the woke thing drives me bonkers so they never actually told him. Yeah, but they forgot to tell him that part. That's all I got. I don't know what the point of that game was, but who cares? That was the best game we've ever played? I think I think I wanted overall. That is Damien Raul's. I am at Scotty it was Wilkes slash anti-walk Wednesday because it's just seems like everything's anti woke now this. No. Oh, yeah. Next week we have our new addition to our walk Daytona, Wednesday. We'll have a S gauge data. Minute. Yes, gauge know. It's actually I talked to them yesterday. Matt, it's actually s gauge. I don't think contractually. We're not allowed to make fun of that. Oh well I don't care what they call themselves. They're throwing up this morning we'll introduce you to the next week. They're going to be with us for a while because featuring someone listens to the Show featuring a dynamite from Paul Hodgson. So for all you know all right. Paul's gonna join us but I won't because I will be. Oh yeah, that's right. So never mind. Yeah, it'll be great for you to do by yourself. That's Damien. I'm mad. We are free float media. This was business pants until tomorrow. Goodbye.
