When companies take controversial political or social positions that conflict with their traditional brand identity or customer base, they risk significant market backlash, as demonstrated by Ferrari's $640,000 electric vehicle launch which caused their stock to fall 6.3% and Milan-listed shares to drop over 31%, reflecting how consumer preferences and brand loyalty can be compromised when established companies attempt to pivot to new markets without maintaining their core identity.

>> Maybe that's the secret though to fight back the robot revolution. Just stairs.
>> Apparently, it is.
>> That's all we need.
>> Really? They're just not prepared for it. Like that makes me happy because it makes me feel like the AI and robot thing is going to stop.
>> Yes. I think we're going to be able to figure something out.
>> Yeah, cuz humans make them. Humans are flawed. Therefore, robots have to be, >> right? I think so. There you go. Let's see. Everything's going to be fine. Now, you think everything's going to be fine with a technological revolution, but now I'm going to show you how it's not going to be fine. Let's do Ferrari's $640,000 disaster.

And that 20 bucks can help pay for your $640,000 Ferrari.
>> That's correct.
>> That's right around the corner for you.
I'm sure >> you're lucky.
>> Ferrari has launched a $640,000 uh glass clad electric speedster. This is their first, I think, all electric attempt. And uh >> I think so. And I got to say, it does look pretty nice. I really >> pretty eye-catching when I walked past Glenn's in the lobby this morning.
>> Yeah, he only has one out there.
>> Yeah, it's strange. It must be a delivery problem.
>> I think there's only one color.
>> Okay. Yeah, that might be it. Uh here is uh here's the reveal video if you have not seen what this thing looks like yet.
It's blue.
Got the kind of traditional lighting of the Ferrari in the back. No, >> but outside of that, that's kind of the end of it.
It has the uh Ferrari logo.
>> Yeah.
>> To make a woman go, "Ooh, a Ferrari."
And then it's an EV to make them go, "He's gay."
So there is an attraction to somebody I guess in this if you have look like a Ferrari though.
>> Not at all. I I It's like I don't get it at all.
>> It looks like it's called a juice but it's loose.
>> Yeah, it's a luch.
>> Oh luch.
>> Luche, >> right? I forgot. Ferrari luch. Yes. I will say to me it looks like a Ferrari Frisbee. That's I I looked at I Doesn't that kind of seem like something you could just kind of toss? It looks like something from the last Tron movie and it costs as much as that movie made.
>> Yes. Oh god. Which was that was a disaster.
>> Yeah. That is it. Well, so is this.
>> Yeah, I think it is. Right. I I Again, there's certain things that happen when you're watching like one of these big product reveals where you don't need to necessarily have the market dynamics to know immediately like this is just not going to work. It looks terrible. It doesn't look like a Ferrari. It doesn't look It looks like they kind of tried to meld uh you know some tech device with kind of in some ways there's like little signs of almost like an American muscle car in there but it of course without the the cool engine. I mean it is >> well you're in luck. It is designed by the guy who designed the iPhone >> right which is not >> so it is a tech device.
>> It is a tech device.
>> Yeah. So, this is the kind of car that you want to spend, you know, almost a million dollars on to not have the radio work because the operating system updated overnight, >> which is a thing.
>> You're driving a cell phone for almost a million dollars.
>> No, it's sad. It's sad. And these company I don't you don't have to be everything. These companies need to understand you don't have to be everything to everybody. No, >> you can just be an awesome Italian car company with great engines and you've lived that way for a very long time. You don't have to please the EV market. Let them let another company do that.
>> No. Well, also, isn't Ferrari known for not kind of doing these commercials?
>> Because if you want a Ferrari, you just go to them. You go to them.
>> You get it. That's how it's always been.
>> Like they're custom made for you. And now they're like, "We should probably do a commercial."
>> Yeah. That people need to know about this thing. I don't know why. Oh, we didn't sell a one.
>> No, they couldn't. I mean, I can't believe people would be excited about this. Luch will be among the most expensive Ferraris that aren't part of a limited production run. Gosh, the most expensive. The company said the starting price would be €550,000 $640,000.
>> Oh, they aren't part of a limited production.
>> No, they'll sell as many as they can of these.
>> So, they want to massroduce this.
>> Yes, it's a great idea.
>> It's another reason to pay $640,000 for a car when there's a lot of them, >> right? Yeah, >> because the Ferrari >> a rare price on a car where there's many.
>> Yes, the Ferrari is a uh is famous among collectors for being a really annoying experience because if you want to get the ridiculous, very limited edition, you know, Enzo or something, you're going to pay $2 million. They don't just give it to you. You have to buy the lower level Ferraris that are sort of mass- prodduced for $400,000 and $300,000 to like show your loyalty to the brand before they were offer you the really high-end stuff.
>> Right. Which is completely an absurd arrangement.
>> And then if you put the car in reverse, you can't get the miles off.
>> Right. No, that's true. I' I've heard that.
>> Yeah. And your abusive father who loves the car more than you is going to come home and whoop you.
>> You know, I will say you're referring, of course, to Ferris Beer's Day Off. One of my all-time favorites.
>> Oh, I was just referring to my childhood. All right, go on.
>> There's also a movie that was similar to this. Ferris Beers Day.
>> Never heard of it.
>> Uh I didn't know you had GT California back in Detroit.
>> We did. Did. Okay. That's interesting.
Uh but okay. So, uh I watch watching that movie as a kid like I just remember being like these guys like Yeah. They're standing up and they're like they're they don't care like what you know what their parents say. Now watching it as a parent, I'm like these kids are terrible. I hate these kids. They're all they just Oh, wow. What a great statement. Oh, I didn't let you. I didn't let you. Uh I I wasn't warm enough to use you, so you wrecked my $600,000 Ferrari. Like, screw you, kid.
Get out of the house.
>> He also seems really cool right up until he's singing Wayne Newton in a parade.
>> Also, when you watch something with hindsight, the the actor Jeff uh Jeff go Jeffrey um I'm blanking on his name, but who plays the principal.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> Yeah. He turns out he was a pedophile.
So, it is kind of funny that he's chasing a teenager for an hour and a half. He really That's right. He God thing is like I got to find Ferris Buer.
>> Yeah.
>> The coolest sex coolest kid in school.
>> That's true. I never And like he's stalking them. He enters their home.
>> Yeah. Everything he does is completely unacceptable >> and illegal. Much of it illegal. He's the bad guy. Like there really is a reframing there. But I as much as I loved the uh the back in the day like watching him I you know cuz Ferris was the coolest kid ever. He was the coolest kid ever. And uh and I mean I would argue even, you know, this maybe I'm out of line here, but I would argue that he even made Wayne Newton cool somehow.
Like he somehow Yeah. was able to pull that off in a totally unbelievable scene that could never occur. Uh but watching it back as an adult, you're just like, gosh, you know, these they should have been at school. Why Why wasn't he at gym class like he was supposed to be? Well, >> exactly.
>> That's who I turn into. And >> that's very that's very adult of you, >> is it? Well, and then you know then on his real day off he drank drank and drove going the wrong way on a freeway in Ireland and killed someone and then he married a horse.
>> But that's >> Sarah Jessica Parker.
>> Yes. Yes. Yes. I do >> I mean a very pretty horse.
>> Yeah. No, I I would say I would say >> as far as women who look like horses, she's quite a show pony.
>> Yes, she is a show pony. Absolutely.
>> Gorgeous woman.
>> Um >> from the neck down, >> right?
>> At a time. Yeah, >> there was a time of that. It was a time >> uh named after the Italian word for light. The Ferrari Luch will test the appetite for the super rich for EVs.
Yeah, it sure will. Uh when electric vehicles have fallen out of favor in the US, the world's top market for luxury cars. Designed in partnership, as you mentioned, with celebrated Apple alumnist Joanie Iive. Uh the model also represents a leap into new technology for a brand built over decades around the size, sound, and sensation of traditional engines. Now, people are are mocking this. This is one of the Apple design uh uh memes going around where like the car is just upside down and it's being charged with a USBC cable, which might be the way that this goes. Uh frankly, part of this there's a movie with Vince Vaughn and Kevin James where they're designing a car >> for uh it's either I think it's GM and they want to make this car that basically sounds exactly like an actual uh Chevel. Okay.
>> And but that's >> I think I saw this. What was this? You don't remember what it's called?
>> It was a few years ago. It's not It's not a bad It's all like every comedy that's like that. It's okay. You know, but every one of these things you go, "Yeah, what we do is we make it feel and sound like it has an engine." Well, yeah. Cuz that's what people want. The engine.
>> Yes.
>> Yeah. You're ruining the thing that people want and then you're just putting this electric in there and people don't want it.
>> That's like when they did uh they did the um Porsche TYON which is, you know, the Porsche's high-end. It's a really beautiful looking car, I think.
>> I'm sure.
>> Uh, but it's an EV and they didn't know what to do with it. So, they put in this like optional space Jetson sound that like legitimately like you press a button and it turns on it sounds like a Jetson's car and when you accelerate it accelerates it and like the sound plays through the speakers as if this is something that anyone would want in the universe. A lot of them do it.
>> I know it's weird.
>> That's how the Mustang uh EV hoops are.
Yeah. And I rented one where it was broken and it sounded awful.
Really?
>> Yes. The sound was broken.
>> It was It wasn't a fully electric.
>> Okay.
>> But it was that like EV Coupe. Yeah.
They There was something wrong with the way that it the engine was supposed to sound. So, it was making this like weird like it sounded like a remote control battery. And it's a fairly new car. Even though it's at Hertz, >> it shouldn't already be happening.
>> It just shows you just how crappy the design is.
>> Yeah. They went down a lot of these car companies. And this is why you don't play into politics, right? You have a belief about what your product should be and then you don't try to go with every little trend. You just make a solid car and and or you make a solid product.
They got into that 2020 2021 era, right, when everything went peak woke and they all were like, "Well, we're transitioning to electric cars. We're going to make Mustangs that are electric and we're going to make Chargers that are electric and and no one wanted them.
I mean, they will release these cars and probably some of them are fine, but they will release them, they'd be $60,000 and then you could buy them on the lot a couple weeks later for $40,000 brand new cars, >> right?
>> Discounted off of the of the new price by 10 $20,000.
>> That's a lot.
>> Not supposed to happen, Dave.
>> Well, that's that's the profit margin.
>> Yes.
>> They're just giving you the car essentially. And in the movie Ford vers Ferrari, not to, you know, reference a movie again, but it's all I have.
>> We're on now. This is three movie references >> three just in this section. But I do love that movie. And part of that story is when they did kind of downgrade the engine originally on the Mustang, you see that the character Christian Bale plays hates it.
>> He's like, "Yeah, it's great. It's just not a Mustang." It's like nice looking car. It's not a Mustang. So when they finally rebuild it, rebuild the engine, they want to compete with Ferraris and they're finally building something that's fast and that can compete. People want it again.
>> Yeah. And they're forgetting that because you're right, they're playing to and I I hate the term, but they are playing to that woke thing. And people that drive muscle cars or collector's cars and appreciate cars don't care.
>> That's not who they are. It's not who they are. And I think that's the same thing that's going to happen with this Ferrari. The market is uh saying this as well. The market has spoken. Ferrari share shares fall after car maker in unveils their first electric vehicle.
Highly anticipated model marks a departure and aesthetic. Yeah, sure does. Uh, not in a good way. Um, notably Porsche and Lamborghini have scale back plans to launch their own EVs on weak demand. Share of Ferraris were down.
>> Lamborghini just stopped.
>> Yeah. They're just like, "No."
>> Yeah. Yeah. You You first, Ferrari.
>> Yeah. You go for it. You can own this whole market. Uh, shares of Ferrari were seen 6.3% lower after this. Um, the Milan listed stock down more than 31%.
Uh, of course, and this kind of reminds everybody the Jaguar that they tried this thing in 2024. uh the Ferrari kind of reminding people of that. Here was this Jack. Do you remember this? The >> I remember the ad here. Let's show it to you real quick for people who didn't remember who don't remember it. Here's the Jaguar ad from a couple years ago.
>> Looks like a Kelvin Klein ad for AIDS.
>> It does.
So, it's the Fifth Element.
>> Yeah.
>> No one knows what this is for.
>> No, just a bunch of weird outfits.
Vibrant colors. Uh >> you assume it's for perfume.
>> Yep. an sort of androgynous nonsense.
>> Everyone looks like Chris Tucker in the Fifth Element. Like it's they're bald.
They have weird haircuts.
>> Oh my god.
>> There's a pink rock and it says Jaguar.
>> I will say too, I have never in my life in real life seen one of these cars. Are they making them yet? Do they ever they just stop? I don't even know what happened.
>> Well, they didn't even have one for the commercial. No.
>> And nothing sells a product like not showing it to you.
>> Yeah. this there's something under this uh blanket. That's basically what they went with.
>> They annoyed you with the commercial and then shared their name.
>> Yeah, that was it.
>> That's really it. Uh it's bizarre. I mean, and I think there are like there are some cool things about electric cars or cool probably isn't the word, but advantages about having an electric car.
>> Yeah, I've I've been in a couple honestly that like the Cadillac one that I I went to and I drove at the uh Detroit Auto Show in a couple. They're amazing. They're a quick and yeah, I won't pretend it's not a cool car. Yeah, I just wouldn't buy it personally.
>> I kind of was on that. We had uh Tesla come here back when Elon was liberal.
You like back in the day when everyone was like, "Yeah, hey Elon Musk." All he does is talk about global warming and everyone on the left loved him. He was the media darling. They brought us a tester of I think it was a Model S uh relatively early on.
>> Well, some of his cars are great.
>> It was I mean I I was blown away by the thing. I couldn't believe how fast it was. I mean, to this day, these cars are so fast and it has really cool features and it was nice to drive and it went through a period where I was I liked the car and I liked the technology and was interested in it, but you know, it just it wasn't something I wanted to buy. And there was something about Elon, I think, you know, in the political transition that he had that made it more acceptable for conservatives to buy one. I don't know.
It just felt that way.
>> It helped.
>> It helped. And I I want to I was interested so I went a leasing one which was a whole process I won't get into. It was a very annoying process to get the car in my hand.
>> Yeah. It took a while to get it. Yeah.
You get on a waiting list.
>> Yeah. And it was it was just a disaster.
But >> did it have the fin doors?
>> No, that's the Model X. I have the Model Y which is you know it's a really it's the Model Y. I think performs >> these names after chromosomes.
>> Oh you know >> his extra ones.
>> When you put all the models I think this is true. At least I've heard it. If you put them all next to each other, there's the S, the three, uh, the X, and the Y, and it spells out sexy.
>> Oh, >> that's that's that's I think the thought process. I mean, this Elon Musk, you know, it's a kind of >> it's stupid, but I like it.
>> It is very stupid. Uh, but so I I had this car and I driving it around on a day-to-day basis >> is actually pretty great because you charge the thing at home overnight and you leave your house basically every day with the equivalent of a full tank of gas. You know, when you think about the when you leave your house normally, you might be at a quarter tank and you know, you got to stop at some point. That basically never happens with this car because you always leave with a full tank of gas and I don't drive enough to go through the entire battery in a day.
>> Well, at $9 a gallon, it's not the worst idea for a lot of homeowners.
>> Exactly. $9 a gallon car owners, obviously.
>> It and it costs, you know, 16th when I'm charging at home about one six of what you spend on gas and that was before this recent rise. So, it's you could save a lot of money on the electricity if you get past the fact that they cost usually a little bit more when you buy them. Though, they had some program that was actually pretty inexpensive. Anyway, long story short, I went to a uh my son's baseball tournament in Oklahoma City this weekend. It was the first time I took this thing on a little bit of a journey, you know.
>> Oh, you went on a road trip in the Tesla.
>> And part of it was I kind of wanted We have an SUV, too, that's, you know, gas powered, good old traditional. And it would have been much easier, but I was like, I want to try this. I want to see what it's like to go through this experience. You don't want to take the SUV that's meant for baseball on a baseball trip. You want to take the Tesla.
>> I was like, I'm going to give it a shot.
I thought it would be an adventure of sorts. And it was. It really was because I think if you were to drive like you're going if you're going to the the comedy mother ship, right? And you're going from here to Austin, you're on a big highway, there are enough chargers along that highway that you can make it work.
It's a little annoying. Your gas stop is not uh, you know, 3 minutes, it's 20.
And that is like enough to be irritating but not a huge deal breaker. You could go in and sit down in a restaurant instead of getting, you know, getting it to go. You could make it work, right?
>> There's a lot of Chargers on that road, too.
>> Yes. That that particular road, there's a ton of them.
Where we went, you know, cuz like basically the tournament was it was an Oklahoma City tournament, but none of the fields were anywhere near Oklahoma City. So, what you would do is you go into Oklahoma City, you'd park downtown in the middle of all the action, and then drive 45 minutes in any direction toward toward a random high school field in the middle of nowhere.
>> Course, this is obviously how this thing would be set up.
>> Yeah, my son plays baseball. That's how they do it. Where did you find this field and why is it here?
>> This was This high school was abandoned in 1964.
>> Some of them really were.
>> Like, why are we playing on this field?
Uh, but you know, so there's no Chargers. Like, it's not like, oh, it's hard to find one. There are none for 40 miles around you, right? So, you are constantly like sweating trying to figure out where you can get your next your next fix of electricity.
>> I've been there.
>> Yeah, I know. I thought you might re relate.
>> And you're just constantly thinking about it and you're like, "Okay, wait a minute. If I can I could get to this place, then I can go over here.
>> Can I use your garage?"
>> I know you're good.
>> Come on. I'll do stuff.
>> I'll do stuff. Whatever you want. So, I had a couple of close incidents where I got really low. I think we took a I took I tried to take a picture while I was driving. This is this is Yeah. So, this is the little Tesla screen.
>> Okay.
>> As I'm driving, I had to drop my son off at his baseball game and they had like an hour warm-up period. So, in the hour, I had to go find a charger, which was relatively close. It's the only close field that we played at. So, it's about a 15-minute drive. I'm driving in the 15-minute thing. And you you could see I don't know if you can make it out on this, but they show where the charger is. that little uh there's a little like red uh section up there and see. Okay.
And it will tell you where it is and it tells you >> you have no battery. That's your battery right there.
>> That's my battery right there. I'm at 2% of the battery.
>> No.
>> Uh left and I'm just about to pull into the charger station.
>> You're just white knuckling it.
>> Oh, yeah. And this is I wasn't intentional. It just >> And you're drunk.
>> Well, the car drives itself. Oh, right.
>> You just hammer You just take a just vodka just like as you're driving. It's very easy. Uh but I pulled into that thing. 2%'s terrifying though. It's terrifying if you're in a car. It's better if you're a phone.
>> Yeah. We've all been at the gas where we're in the reserve and we're like, "Ah, what's the big deal?"
>> Right.
>> With this there, if it's just over like you there's your life just ends, I think. I think you just dissolve if you run out of battery.
>> No. Yeah. Battery doesn't kick back in.
It just shuts down.
>> It's just over and there's nowhere to go. You don't just come around the corner, there's a gas station. Oh, great. I can get this thing filled up.
>> It's just you get to that charger or you don't. And I >> was the people surprised to see you.
They're like, "Look, we got one."
>> No, they >> What's he doing here?
>> They had six Chargers there. Okay.
>> So, when I left the field, it was about a 10 or 15 minute drive. There were six Chargers. And they show you on the screen.
>> A vegan restaurant or what was it?
>> Uh, no. It was It's usually, Dave, all the Chargers are set in these like really uncomfortable places to sit for 20 minutes. Yeah.
>> Because like they don't put them in nice like a nice facility. Typically, it's just like, hey, we have space behind our, you know, auto parts store in the worst area of town. Let's put like six of these things here and let people drive into their like nice Teslas and park there for 45 minutes just looking like this, like freaked out with nowhere to walk to a restaurant or >> Yeah. Even at Bies, they're at the farthest end of the parking lot.
>> Yeah. Like, yeah, please go way over there. Um, but uh I as I'm pulling towards it, they show you how many chargers are available, and there's six.
So, I've got a 15-minute drive. There's six chargers available. As I'm going, I see it just start ticking down. It's like five.
>> Oh, no.
>> Four. Three. I got there with one. There was one charger open and I was able to finally fill up and then and then get back on.
>> You made the last minute shot.
>> I did. I did.
>> Like hooers.
>> Yeah. No, it was like that. It's a weird exper, >> dude. That's awesome, though. At least you got it.
>> I did. And on the way home, I had one of those situations where I had 8.8 miles to get home and I had 8 miles of charge.
So, I had to literally stop like five minutes from my house and charge for three minutes so I could get home.
>> Did your son give you crap?
>> Uh, no. No, he was he was pretty he was pretty understanding. A >> little bit though.
>> Maybe a little bit.
>> It's okay. Daddy failed. He doesn't know math. Math's hard.
>> Are you ever going to do it again?
>> I will not. I have I have another um I have a Tulsa trip coming up. You don't understand. I go You go to the You go to San Francisco, you go to Austin. I'm going to Tulsa. Uh >> Well, I go there, too.
>> Yeah, that's true.
>> Yeah, that's the sad part. But I mean, that's cool. I love I love Tulsa.
>> Tulsa's great rip.
>> My daughter has a gymnastics thing up there. I'm like, I'm taking the SUV to that thing, though. I'm going to put I'm going to put extra gas into it just to ruin the environment from the last trip.
>> Oh, that's a good idea.
>> Just have extra gas in the trunk.
>> Yeah, just just for the heck of it.
>> Why not?
>> Um, okay. So, that was my weekend. Dave had a big uh comedy special. We'll tell you more about that in the coming weeks.
Uh the president had an interesting weekend as well because he had to hear about how his daughter was almost assassinated and there's a plot to kill her among other things. This is just his normal weekend these days. One of his family members almost getting killed.
We'll tell you about the plot against Ivanka Trump coming up next.
You know, there's certain things in life that sound kind of fake the first time you hear them. Like those stories about where someone uh checks their bank account and suddenly there's some charge from another country for $600 of jet ski rentals. Wait, what? What has Why didn't you at least invite me? You know, it's like if you're going to use my card, I could at least come on the trip. It would be nice.
>> I like jet skis.
>> Yeah, they're fun, >> right?
>> Well, uh the uh the home title fraud is kind of like that. uh except instead of stealing your credit card, criminals steal your home. Somebody forges your signature. They file fraudulent paperwork with uh with the county and suddenly there are loans being taken out against your property that you don't even know about. They're using your equity. You need to stop this. And honestly, the best way to stop it is before it starts. Hometitle do is the place to go. Home title lock exists for a reason. They monitor your home's title records and send urgent alerts to any changes that are connected to your property because your home equity may be one of the biggest financial assets you'll ever own. You got to protect it.
Uh so, you know, give it stop it before it starts. Give it up uh by not taking it up, which is a quote from uh Dragnet with Dan Ekroyd.
>> Oo, >> number five.
>> Five. And a good one.
>> A good one. That's a good poll. Uh use our promo code Stew and Dave hometitle.com. Hometitlock.com. get a free title history report. Make sure like this stuff hasn't already happened.

Stew and Dave or you can use the link below.
So there was a guy in Turkey who was arrested and then extradited to the US.
When they're going through all of his materials, they find out that he had a plot to avenge the Solommani um killing.
This is one of from Trump's first term.
Uh this general who was, you know, well regarded in Iran, we took him out. He was pissed off about that for years and was trying to get revenge. The way he was going to get revenge was he was going to kill Ivanka Trump and burn down the House of Trump the way he burned down our house is the uh is the quote.
Uh he continually kept tweeting about this over and over again, which is interesting. He kept having the he was doing the thing, you know how people do this, Dave, where they're like, you know what, I'm done with social media. This is my last tweet. I'm getting off of social media, so I'm not going to do this anymore. I'm not going to feed into this. And then two weeks later they're back tweeting about the next story they care about.
>> Yes, >> that's how this happens usually.
>> Yeah, he has more online content that I do.
>> Yes, that is odd.
>> It's like the Matt Refe of Jihad.
>> He's just that oversharing thing that people do.
>> Yeah.
>> They're like, "Yeah, I'm not I'm done. I quit."
>> It's like if Muhammad Ata was reviewing box cutters on Amazon, we'd probably still have the towers.
>> It's probably true. That's Maybe social media is a good thing in some way. It probably is, but it's just amazing to me that people are this stupid.
>> It really is. He planned, he coordinated this. He was looking to uh to kill Ivanka Trump. By the way, we should just point this out. This is not normal. The fact that the president of the United States every day has to deal with a new threat on his life or someone in his family's life is not like a normal thing. If you don't like their policies, a way to deal with that is through politics. Vote him out. Vote out other people who are associated with him.
Oppose his policies. You can, if you're really annoying, even go march in the streets and say and have dumb slogans about how his policies are bad. Trying to kill him is never an appropriate response. And the fact that like we and we're going to talk about this later this week, Noah Rothman's going to be on the show. He's got a new book out called Blood in Progress.
>> Yeah. And I do want to talk to him.
>> Yeah. It's because he's it's about how the kind of the left-wing political violence in this country and how it's often ignored uh by the media and people kind of look the other way. But like this shouldn't be our norm. There shouldn't be a thing where we're like every day we wake up and like this is the second segment of the show, Dave.
Correct.
>> We did a show we did a thing about a new Ferrari in the first segment.
>> We waited till the second segment of the show to talk about the fact that not only did Ivanka Trump almost get assassinated by by somebody, >> right?
>> Uh that was tweeting all the time. But then also there was a gunman at the White House again firing weapons again.
Oh, it's becoming so frequent in the lobby. They should just hand out ear muffs and start selling black rifle coffee.
>> It is that point.
>> It's It's getting ridiculous. Well, I mean, it's not getting ridiculous. It is ridiculous.
>> And there's this big gap where you didn't see it when uh Oh, right. when Biden was in office.
>> Yeah, it didn't happen at all. No.
>> I mean, there were very few uh when it comes to threats against Obama, >> like Bush was constantly dealing with them. uh you know uh Trump certainly in Trump one was dealing with them often.
You may remember Donald Trump being shot >> on stage at an event. Correct. You may remember that. You may remember him trying to play some golf uh as he's hitting a sand wedge and almost getting shot again. And >> yes, all of a sudden a rifle poked out like Elmer Fud.
>> Yeah.
>> That was that's really how they found that guy which is scary.
>> It is scary because they looked over and they're like I think that's a barrel of a shotgun or whatever a rifle or whatever it was that he had.
and we forget.
>> And he looked exactly how you thought he would.
>> Yes. 100%. I mean, he was the very traditional left-wing uh loser who was going to do something like this.
>> Well, I talked to a guy, he was hosting for me in San Francisco, >> and he said to me, he's like, "We need more uh Luigi uh Mandi, whatever."
>> Yeah.
>> Which is was it Why am I blanking on his name?
>> Uh I don't like the healthcare CEO.
>> Yeah. We need more Luigi's. And I was like, "Uh-huh." And I just didn't want to have the conversation.
>> Sure.
>> And he goes, "Yeah, but the left were not really the killing kind." And I go, "You literally are."
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> He goes, "What do you mean?" I go, "Well, you just named one and then you said you wanted more of it."
>> How can you be so disconnected from your own stance >> and think that you're somehow also This is This is my biggest problem with the left and it always has been. They think that they have uh the monopoly on on virtue.
>> Yes.
>> And they don't. Yeah.
>> And they think that they have it on empathy and they don't. They just they just have this like anger and this no ability to rationalize their own hate.
>> I think that's true. And and it and it's particularly frustrating in this era where we have so many examples.
>> I mean the woke left, the far-left woke wing woke left.
>> Every obviously every Democrat's not out there rooting this stuff on. I am surprised at times.
>> Grant their cities are all 100%. There's no other way for me to put that.
>> Looking at San Francisco, >> well, you're stepping in it, so it's hard to use another word.
>> But it was so nice to be in San Francisco. I wanted to go back and see it. I hadn't seen it in decades.
>> Yeah.
>> Turn out for you.
>> It's ruined. Everybody's been priced out of it. Nothing's open. There's no nightife. It's I mean, there's parts of it that are decent. There's some people walking around. Uh they're selling their bodies, but they're walking around. I mean, it's just sad because they've been priced out by these people that are supposed to run a city.
>> Well, and and that's such a weird dynamic where where the prices are high.
It's really hard if you're a normal person to live in San Francisco, but also I can't imagine a circumstance in which I'd want to pay a high amount to live in San Francisco. It is a nice there are nice areas there. I was there in February. But I mean, I saw more >> I saw more like homeless people in in ongoing battles with drug like, you know, the type of the footage you see where people are like bent over and just like, you know, hunched over and like touching with their hands on the ground and for like minutes at a time.
>> Just from the ride from the airport to where we were staying than I have, I think combined in my entire life. And it was that bad. We went through I went down two streets in a row that it was like as if they you know there was a Taylor Swift album about to come out and people were all lined out lined up except it was for like heroin. You know what I mean? It was >> oh I wel I walked on one street and I said are red light districts legal here?
Like I just texted Mclowery a picture cuz it was like adult arcade. It looked it looked like a William Fredkin movie like Popey Doyle was going to be chasing somebody at any minute.
>> Is that six? Do we count that? Uh, that's sex for sure. But it did look like definitely the CD underbelly >> of like the ' 80s '7s movies we used to watch. And I couldn't believe it still looked like that because there was a moment where it didn't and then it went back down.
>> Yeah. And and look, this is you run your cities, you run your state like this, right?
>> You put these policies in over a long period of time and this is what you get.
It is a formula. It happens every single time. Occasionally you have rational cities who are like, "Hey, let's try something sane like New York." You know, Giuliani is the famous example there where where it came back. It was really bad for a while and it came back. You can turn this around. This is what Spencer Pratt's trying to do right now.
Uh but like it is a it's a tough road.
It is a tough road.
>> Yeah. Spencer Pratt who's trying to actually help the homeless the way that a society should and he's getting push back from people which I think is very sad. Like Drew Kerry >> attacking him. Yeah. There's a few people that I actually like going after Spencer Pratt. He went on some tirade about him. But why is it when there's actually a uh solution or potential solution to the homeless crisis that people get mad about it? Don't you want this fixed?
>> These are human beings.
>> Yeah. They're human beings and and you you let them suffer.
>> The answer is let them suffer in their awful pain, in their awful addiction till the end of time until they wind up killing themselves on the street or just oding.
>> It's awful.
>> Yeah. It's not brave or in any way uh progressive to let somebody be high on tran and be zombied out on the street all day long.
>> Yeah, that Michael Shelonburgger wrote a great book about this. It's worth reading if you care about it. Let me give you two more things before we go though. Quickly, uh this is a clip of a news broadcaster, Selena Wang. She's in the middle of taping.
>> Thank you, Wang.
>> No, I I think we understood why you're laughing. Uh and uh she's in the middle of taping when the shooting happens. I'm going to give you two different reactions of how you handled the situation. Dave, you tell me which was the more appropriate.
>> How she handled the Wang.
>> Yeah. How she how Wang handled this particular moment.
>> Oh, sorry. This is uh this is the footage from her iPhone. I guess >> that President Trump has said a deal is close only for the two sides to remain far apart.
>> Gets under the desk. Everyone gets down.
That's good.
>> Okay. That to me is how you handle a situation when there's a shooting ongoing. As soon as you realize something like that is ongoing, you just duck under that cuz you don't know a straight bullet could come at any time, even if it's not directed at you.
>> No, when you first hear it also, you don't expect it. No, >> you don't know what it is. So, it does take a few shots before you actually do connect the dots. I think she reacted pretty quick.
>> Pretty quickly. I thought that was right. Now, let me give you the opposite. This is Julie Terskin, who's doing a report for NBC. Here's how she reacted to the shooting at the time.
>> What is that? What is that?
>> Turns around, still sitting up in her chair.
>> Dozens of gunshots going on behind her.
>> Sounds like >> there. She leans out outside of her tent so she can be easily seen.
>> Yeah. Whenever whenever you're gunfire, face present.
>> Yeah.
>> Looking around.
>> Well, if you're looking, my understanding is if you're looking at the gun, it can't hit you.
>> Correct.
>> If you turn your head, then it can come after you. It's like co.
>> Well, yeah.
Yeah, I like that she just What's good is she remains still while looking out >> because you know it's hard to hit a moving target. So the best thing you want to do is remain still while you look around.
>> Turn into a statue >> like you're being hunted by a velociraptor.
>> Make your presence known.
>> Be very still. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Whenever there's gunshots, do what you do with bears. Try to seem bigger than it.
>> Right. By the way, Velociraptor reference I think qualifies for Jurassic Park. That would be seven.
>> Seven. Seven movie references so far. Uh let's uh we'll get into a little bit more here. We actually have a new so amazing >> amazing. Uh we have a new spokesperson for the trans right movement. They've really landed a big fish this time. Wait till you hear the name. We'll we'll give that to you. Uh next.
You may have heard that recently the trans rights movement has had a bit of a tough time, a little a little bit of a slog going on for them. It's uh hasn't been the most uh most popular movement of late. Now, there's been there's been a couple shootings uh here and there and everywhere. Uh, and we've had a situation where like that peak we mentioned, the woke era earlier happened, everything was trans rights all the time and people kind of got sick of it, right? Uh, and there's definitely a a push back against the the movement.
>> The ally flag, that was a lot.
>> Yeah. You need someone to turn that around sometimes, Dave. You need to get a big news spokesperson, bring them on board so that you can turn the PR around. It's not an easy thing to do.
>> A face of positivity.
>> Exactly. And that's what the trans movement has done. They now have signed up Casey Anthony. Uh >> oh, good.
>> Yes. Casey Anony's posted a note, "Trans rights are human rights today and every day on her Substack." By the way, >> she will Nothing will get in her way of hurting a child.
>> Oh, that's true. She She's into it.
She's She's into it. This is the post.
Uh, by the way, on a Substack, I will mention if you're on Substack, I want to go over to predictable show or substack.
Or predictable.substack.com, whatever.
Go to predictableshow.com. A much better Substack. We will not advocate for trans rights or Casey Anthony on the substack.
>> We'll say if trans right was a stock it would be dropping pretty hard right now.
>> Yes. Very, very hard. This is what she said. She said it's so disheartening the constant attacks on people because to some they do not fit within the norm, weaponizing Christian ideology, but worse misquing and misrepresenting the text to justify such hateful biases. uh Pisces uh the intentionally lying to to say that any member of the LGBTQQIA2 plus community is a threat to anyone especially children again nobody this is all just like it's fever dream none of this stuff happens none of this stuff happens >> well and I think you know I don't think she killed her daughter I think she was negligent in it >> okay you know >> I don't really remember all the details of that case but >> I think she I think she drowned when she wasn't paying attention if you know is my >> that's that if you watching all your Netflix documentaries is where you've landed Yeah, that's where I've landed.
So, I think, you know, as a negligent parent, that would be the perfect spokesperson for the cause.
>> You know what? Yes, this is a good fit.
Yeah, that's right. She was charged. She wound up getting acquitted.
>> Acquitted. Yes.
>> However, she she lied to the police. She waited an absurdly long time to >> 31 days, something like that. Yeah.
>> So, yeah. You know what? That's actually kind of a good fit.
>> Yep.
>> Uh so, anyway, if you want to, you know, get on the trans rights bandwagon, now's the time. Just, uh, you know, maybe let your kid drown, too. and uh you know, you'll fit right into the movement.
>> And she got acquitted because kind of hot for a child killer.
>> Really?
>> That was is that what they said at court?
>> That's what uh that's what I think the uh America said, the the public jury, if you will.
>> There is a bit of lenience when it comes to if you're if you're attractive enough, we'll pretty much let you get away with anything.
>> Yes.
>> Which is the sad part when you murder and you get convicted, you're like, "God, they think I'm ugly, too."
>> I know. Especially if you're not guilty.
You must be real ugly. You're on death row for a crime you didn't commit. All right, we'll take a break back in a second.
>> Yeah, when they get a month. So, >> yeah. No, it's okay. Uh when you uh when you're trying to sell your home, first of all, if you happen to have a home, maybe you uh if you're like Casey Anthony, maybe one without a pool is a good a good option.
>> That's a good just saying. Maybe >> it's just a just just a recommendation.
You need a good real estate >> something. Yeah, maybe a lot of like bouncy house. Yeah, that sounds great.
You know, something nice and Yeah. Um uh if you want to get a new home, you need to get a good uh real estate agent that can advise you like, you know, we are here with with with with the requirements of your particular house.
