8
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:41.320
is alive and well, here's your
host of Always in Fashion, Mark Webber.

9
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:47.679
Weber life pretty much all comes down
to nature. I had a thought,

10
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:54.240
here is work a function of nature. We'll need food and warmth and

11
00:00:54.320 --> 00:01:00.759
shelter. From the caveman to corporate
man, We'll worked. We'll come pete

12
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:06.040
for the simple things in life to
sustain us. So life goes on.

13
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:11.120
That's nature. One thing about focusing
on a weekly radio show and podcast,

14
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:18.400
I have time time to think Corporate
America I had no time. I either

15
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:23.640
was commuting to the office and once
I got there, I was working the

16
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:30.439
meetings communicating, making phone calls,
sending texts and emails, always always strategizing

17
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:36.400
and planning, having to lead direct
making sure to listen, to learn,

18
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:42.959
adjusting, resetting, modifying, whatever, wherever, whenever as the situation's call

19
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:46.200
for it. Of course, then
I had to brief the board or the

20
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:51.519
executive committee. I need a transparency
for the shareholders directly or through Wall Street

21
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:56.920
and analysts. Communicating with my custers, my suppliers. It wasn't enough to

22
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:01.239
all this in corporate America. Had
to then my days with breakfast meetings,

23
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:07.280
lunches and dinners, traveling here and
everywhere, thinking, observing twenty four to

24
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:13.360
seven, not a minute to myself
every minute of the day. Most nights

25
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:17.199
I found myself dreaming of work.
It's exhausting. But to my credit,

26
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:23.080
thankfully I set aside time for my
wife. We were a team. She

27
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:27.439
made sure I devoted time to my
children, family. That's the real world.

28
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:31.080
When you think about nature. The
system is geared for work. Life

29
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:36.439
is geared for work. First,
who came up with this craziness? When

30
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.319
you think about it, the hours, the days, the weeks. Let's

31
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:44.199
do the math. Consider that you
work nine to five. If you can

32
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.919
get out after eight hours. Add
in commuting time if you're not in the

33
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:52.000
city another two hours. That's ten
hours a day for work. Think your

34
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.280
seven hours sleeping, thank god,
and that leaves seven hours for you.

35
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.960
It's not really me time because you
have to spend time with friends, families,

36
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:05.400
deal with responsibilities, pay bills.
Who knows what. Well that represents

37
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.080
Fifty eight point eight percent of your
time during the day is for working,

38
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:15.360
So your majority of your day is
earmark for work. That's if you can

39
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:19.120
walk out and shut it down.
Then let's think about the math of the

40
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:23.479
week. All of us work five
days with the weekends off. If you're

41
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:28.000
in retail or transportation or other services, you work six days. Again,

42
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.639
let's look at the math. Seventy
one percent of your days in the week

43
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:36.400
off a work. If you're a
six day eighty six percent is work.

44
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.680
And then there's the year. We
work fifty weeks to get two weeks off.

45
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:46.520
That's ninety six percent of the weeks
you have in life of working.

46
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:52.039
Some of us get three weeks that's
ninety five percent working, and lastly four

47
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.759
weeks if you're really lucky, that's
ninety four percent of your work. That's

48
00:03:54.800 --> 00:04:00.360
the math. Ninety six percent of
your weeks are working. Yea, we

49
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.800
get eleven days holiday, big deal. But you have to ask the question,

50
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:09.599
who came up with this plan?
It's not natural to be cooped up

51
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:14.240
at work indoors and on top of
it, have your mind trapped in work.

52
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:20.000
What a sane person figured this system
out? Life is working? That's

53
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:25.160
a question. Life is working?
That's the statement. Here's a thought.

54
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:30.480
You want proof that there's life for
other planets, that aliens have been here

55
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.800
from day one? What human?
What kind of person would ruin our lives

56
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:40.040
and literally make us beasts of burden? When did I evolve from simple happy

57
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:46.040
to serious mark working man? Sixth
grade college life? When did this become

58
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:51.160
the natural way of things I've been
thinking with all this time I now have

59
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:55.079
I'm not in an office, I'm
not in a showroom. I'm not in

60
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:58.800
a boardroom. I'm living. I
could see the world. I live on

61
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:00.560
the water. I get to watch
the waves of ripples, the birds,

62
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:05.360
the trees, the grass, the
sunrises and sunsets. I get to think

63
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:10.759
about life with work in the proper
proportion, Twenty eight percent of my time

64
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:15.079
is spent on getting this show ready
and getting it in shape for you guys.

65
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:19.879
I get to think about improving myself, the people I'm close to the

66
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:25.279
world through this show, in my
podcasts, there are lessons I've learned,

67
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:29.600
the lessons to share. I think
my approach to the world is unique.

68
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:33.639
We're all unique. However, I
have this platform and I'm happy. I'm

69
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:39.079
actually very happy. In chapter three
of my career Chapter one, Fashion,

70
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:43.519
Chapter two, Luxury, Chapter three. Now I'm talking when I'm not watching,

71
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.399
I'm walking, when i'm not participating, I'm thinking, and I'm thinking

72
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:51.199
about nature this week. This came
to me the other day when I was

73
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:56.160
cutting a lemon from my diet coke. I'm addicted. I admit it can't

74
00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:00.759
be the taste, although I seem
to like it. But adding lemon not

75
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:04.160
just seems to make it better,
It makes it a little amazing. And

76
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:10.560
my mind shifted a bit, taking
sour lemons and making something more special with

77
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:15.120
them, which led me to think, I've always in business took lemons and

78
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:19.879
made lemonade. Brands that were damaged, I resurrected them. Companies that were

79
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:25.279
bankrupt, we made them financially viable. Companies that were sleepy, I gave

80
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:30.319
them energy. Yeah, I've been
thinking if trees can become tires or furniture

81
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:34.680
for that matter, what could we
become if we use our minds to change.

82
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:41.480
If coal becomes diamonds, what can
we become if nothing else smarter?

83
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:46.079
So here we go. If nature
does it, we can do it because

84
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:49.800
we're part of nature. And I've
done my part. I introduced myself to

85
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:54.120
my wife, and who knew what
kiss hello would lead to? My son,

86
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:58.319
my lawyer and co host Jesse Weber. That's how I was born.

87
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.839
Huh wow. No, you know, it's funny about that. I remember

88
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:06.319
the last time you mentioned me coming
into the world. It was my young

89
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:10.040
birthday party. I was a very
baby. All my friends were around,

90
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:12.759
and you gave a speech, and
you know what you started the speech with.

91
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:16.439
You started by saying, so the
night Jesse was conceived. I was

92
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:20.000
like, oh my gosh. Everyone
stopped. That's when I knew there was

93
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:24.399
a problem there. But other than
that, I like where you're going with

94
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:28.240
the show. Yeah, well you
were preplanned. It's about of nature.

95
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:30.319
You know, we thought it out. I just didn't want everybody to know

96
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:33.920
about it. I hope that's not
what the show's about. No, I

97
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:39.360
will leave the birds and the bees
to someone else. That's a different transformation.

98
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:43.959
But think about the things, the
change in nature. It's almost amazing

99
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:46.800
when you think about it. Let
me give you one, and then let's

100
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:49.879
see if you could add something to
this one. Okay, you're ready.

101
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:55.759
I like the idea I mentioned before. A coal under extreme pressure, or

102
00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:00.839
at least the surrounding with coal is
turns into diamonds. Incredible is that?

103
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:05.240
It's pretty incredible? You know it's
more incredible. What's that paper to money?

104
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.879
Yeah, it's pretty good. How
about plants to medicine. That's a

105
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.360
good one. Nobody ever thinks about
that, but that's true. It comes

106
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:20.240
from nature. What about this rain
to a rainbow? Nobody ever thinks about

107
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.079
how a rainbow's created? Do they? Very? Very artistic Jesse. I'm

108
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:28.560
being a little bit more practical though
it the matter. How about guess making

109
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:33.960
cars run? Yeah, that's but
everybody knows that. Everybody's thinking about that.

110
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.480
Here's a good one. You're ready. We want a good one.

111
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.600
Sure. A human voice to a
song, that's what makes a song.

112
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.879
It's the voice, it's also the
instrument. Whoever figured out how to turn

113
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:48.960
those things into instruments. I got
a better one. Go ahead, cakes

114
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:56.600
to cupcakes? How about that?
Always food? You know what I'm thinking

115
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:03.600
about though? How did some of
these things come about? Think about this

116
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:09.799
one? How do boats float?
How do aircraft carriers stay on top of

117
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:11.840
the water? Are you asking me
that? Because I have absolutely no idea.

118
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:15.879
I just accept it. I accept
it as it works and hope for

119
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.279
the best. It's like air conditioning. Remember we talked about that air conditioning.

120
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.480
How does that work? I don't
know, it's just there. How

121
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.559
do parachutes work? I think that
was probably an early invention. They're probably

122
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:26.399
like, how do we keep ourselves
in the air? All right? We

123
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:31.240
need some sort of fabric that'll actually
take up the wind. What happened to

124
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.840
the first guy who tried? What
a sacrifice he made? What about this

125
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:41.360
wax? The candles? Exactly?
Being at this a fashion show? Where

126
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:48.200
did cashmia come from? Came from
goats in northern China and Mongolia. Marino

127
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.799
wool comes from Australia, which is
one of the finest yarn spitters in the

128
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.679
world. For marino woolsh and that's
sheep. Then of course there's lamb's wool.

129
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:03.919
That's sheep's coats their hair. That's
less than seven months. That's amazing

130
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:09.559
from their first shearing. And here's
the thing, it all grows back and

131
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:13.960
now I have washable cashmere. I
don't know why that catches my attention,

132
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:18.240
because I gotta figure goats are out
in the cold and out in the rain.

133
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:22.840
Amazing. And then you also get
like crocodiles and cows being made into

134
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:28.360
things too, and that gets a
little bit more morbid. Well, the

135
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:33.320
point is it all comes down to
nature, and we're a part of this

136
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.840
fantastic changes that are going on in
the world. How about water freezes,

137
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:46.799
evaporates, goes into the clouds and
comes back down. With all these transformations,

138
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:50.399
with all these miracles, with all
these wonders of the world under the

139
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:56.720
heading of nature, That's what I
want to talk about tonight, those changes

140
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:05.080
in nature and to humans that affect
our life. In the state of affairs.

141
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:07.559
I'll take a break, we'll come
back in a minute. We'll talk

142
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:13.679
about this. Always. In fashion, my favorite brand has always been ISOD.

143
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:18.320
My company at one time bought that
brand. The CEO of the company

144
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:20.120
handed it to me and said,
you better make it work. And I

145
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.840
put everything in my career to make
IOD work and I fell in love with

146
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:31.240
that brand and to this day it
is one of the most exciting endeavors I've

147
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:35.960
ever got involved with. ISOD is
an incredibly strong golf brand. If you

148
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.720
play golf, if you play tennis
for that matter. They make a great

149
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:48.679
polo shirts. I mean great.
They're fit perfect. The material is unique

150
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.320
because it's a PK fabric that waffle
weave, you see, and it's made

151
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:58.720
of a blend of cotton and microfiber
that allows you to stretch. And very

152
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:05.639
often they are treated with solo protection
as well, so they stretch, they're

153
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:09.440
comfortable, and they breathe well.
And one thing about ISA they always fit.

154
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:11.559
They'll never tug on you. You
put it in your waist, they'll

155
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:16.480
fit you great. The colors,
patterns are sensational. Now I will also

156
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.600
tell you ISOD makes great shorts and
great golf pants. You're a golfer and

157
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:22.559
you want to look good. You
don't want to have to think about how

158
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:26.840
do I look. You want to
think about how you play, not how

159
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:30.919
you feel. ISOD is the brand
for you. I know I was there

160
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:33.679
when it was created. The strategy
behind that brand is brilliant. It's one

161
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.679
of my favorite brands. While I
talk about I should tell you about the

162
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.320
man's sportswear. ISOD wasn't enough being
a golf brand. It wasn't enough being

163
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:46.679
just great polo shirts with logos,
without logos, incredible brands in story and

164
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:56.159
history. ISAD makes salt weather programs. They have great printed woven shirts,

165
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:01.000
short sleeves. They look excellent with
colors, excellent with shorts, excellent with

166
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:05.559
cotton pants, of which they also
make this whole salt order relax line from

167
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:13.679
Isaod, whether it be felice,
cotton sweaters, nitpolos, woven shirts and

168
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:18.200
pants of a range of colors and
fabrics that are perfect for a guy wants

169
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:20.799
to go casually in the spring and
summer of this year. And here's the

170
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:30.440
thing, ISOD is affordable. Everyone
listening to me talk about this brand can

171
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:33.960
afford to buy it and know that
there are a lot of other brands that

172
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:39.159
also have a look like isode.
Although I don't believe it's fun as ISOD

173
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:41.000
is. The brand has a lot
of energy in it, but at the

174
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:46.639
price points no one can compete.
You can find is that at your leading

175
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.279
retailers and online at isod dot com. Talk to you later, guys.

176
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:56.120
I wish you are very happy spring
in summer, and I help you by

177
00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:00.840
telling you if you wear EYESOD,
you're gonna look great. Welcome back to

178
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:05.960
Always in Fashion. Here's your host, Mark webber Tonight, I'm talking about

179
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:16.720
nature, thinking about coal becoming diamonds, potatoes becoming vodka, trees becoming furniture,

180
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:22.559
lemons becoming lemonade. It's fascinating the
way things evolved and the way they

181
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.600
are used. With time on my
hands, I started to think about my

182
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:33.080
nature. I don't want to talk
to you about changing myself, and I

183
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:37.399
want to talk to you about being
a man of the people. And somehow

184
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:43.240
within this message there's a lesson for
everyone, no matter who you are.

185
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.600
I consider myself a man of the
people. They say you can take the

186
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.519
boy out of Brooklyn, but you
can't take the Brooklyn out of the boy,

187
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:54.200
and I'll always have something of Brooklyn
inside of me. No matter where

188
00:14:54.240 --> 00:15:00.399
I end up traveling around the world, I made it in America, far

189
00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:03.200
beyond where I ever dreamed I could
get. I never forgot, though,

190
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:09.679
where I came from. As hard
as I've tried to distance myself from those

191
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:15.960
humble beginnings inside me, my nature. The appreciation for money and how hard

192
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:22.080
it is to earn it, let
accumulate it never leaves me. I recognize

193
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:26.759
when I make a mistake here or
there. I recognize arrogance here or there

194
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:30.200
when I have it. I know
when I have a lack of discipline here

195
00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.799
or there. But by the same
token, I've never forgot, no matter

196
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:39.919
what what I have accomplished. But
I also never forget that I'm only twenty

197
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:43.440
miles away from the city projects.
The election last week got me thinking about

198
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:48.159
nature in life, human nature,
to be exact. You look at Virginia.

199
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.720
The Republican Canada won the governor's wraith
with the powerful income in Democrat losing.

200
00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:58.679
Now, there's a million possible reasons, but parents being locked out of

201
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:06.519
the discussion of the children's educations gas
up a dollar fifty a gallon in some

202
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:11.639
places fifty percent. The country's not
hard left where the Democrats are taking in,

203
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:15.120
and it's not hard right where the
yahoo Republicans want to take us either.

204
00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:22.240
That's not it, they say,
And they've declared that suburban women and

205
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:29.000
men without college degrees elected the Republicans. Some people have referred to the people

206
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:36.279
who without college educations as deplorables.
Most recently, the elitists refer to these

207
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:42.080
people as uneducated, and I refer
to them as people who understand the laws

208
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:48.600
of nature, what's important in life, and it's unlike so many of us

209
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:52.559
wise guide big city dwellers. They
make up their own minds because college or

210
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:56.759
not, they have common sense.
Let's remember, I grew up in the

211
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:02.120
city projects my parents, your grandparents, or what the country would call working

212
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:08.000
cless people. I've surrounded by blue
collar workers. My mom's sister was married

213
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:12.079
to a pipe fitter. My next
door neighbors worked for the post office.

214
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:17.440
My mom was a bookkeeper, my
father a printer. And you know what

215
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:22.920
I learned. They were smart.
Not smart in business per se, not

216
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:26.200
necessarily how to manage, per se, but how to have a household budget,

217
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.119
how to live within the budget,
how to take care of their family,

218
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:33.559
and how to move forward, how
to make sure their sons went to

219
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.119
school. They were smart, They
had points of view, They loved their

220
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:42.519
families, They were trusted by their
friends. I grew up comfortable around these

221
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:47.920
people without educations. Interestingly enough,
I was the first of my family to

222
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:52.519
graduate from college. The second in
my extended family had an older cousin who

223
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:56.720
went to Saint John's. I was
a man of the people in many respects.

224
00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:00.279
I still am. I could walk
on either side of the track,

225
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:06.279
working class or the so called one
percent. One thing I've remained no matter

226
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:10.160
what side of the track I am
is humble and appreciative. Now I want

227
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:15.119
to point out that two of the
most accomplished, impressive people I've ever worked

228
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:18.519
for in my life did not have
college diplomas, and they were the best

229
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:22.880
I've ever seen that there was respective
fields. One was the CEO of PVH

230
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:29.160
Retail and the other was executive vice
president of corporate Marketing for PVH. Great

231
00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:33.440
guys, and they didn't go to
college. But I'm talking nature here,

232
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.960
in human nature. My upbringing,
my nature has made me comfortable on both

233
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:40.759
sides of the track. Whether I
like humans or not, that's not what

234
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:44.000
I'm talking about. I'm empathetic.
I know how to talk with people.

235
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:48.119
In this case, I want to
talk about factory workers because I think it's

236
00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:55.039
important. I've walked factories all around
the world. I've seen people working.

237
00:18:55.359 --> 00:19:00.440
On the one hand, I admire
their tenacity. I admire their willing to

238
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:04.960
do the tough jobs. I admire
the fact that they are there to build

239
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:11.799
a life for their families. They
don't make the most money. The jobs

240
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:15.599
too many are not interesting, they're
repetitive, but they do a job,

241
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:19.759
a necessary job, and they're proud
of the work they do. I'm proud

242
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:26.039
that factories are set up to be
safe, and every single factor I ever

243
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:29.200
been in, they keep record of
the safety and the measures they can to

244
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:33.359
keep those people safe. I love
walking the aisles talking to those people.

245
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:38.559
And for whatever reason, they knew, even though I used to be important,

246
00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:44.559
when I walked down those aisles,
they knew that I had something to

247
00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:48.200
offer. They knew I was a
regular guy. Maybe it was my smile,

248
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:52.240
my body language. But when I
walked over to them and asked them

249
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:57.880
a question, it was heartfelt and
they appreciated it. No, why am

250
00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:04.279
I going here? Because nature and
human nature. In order for us to

251
00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:11.680
survive, we have governing people that
are elected and of late, I don't

252
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:18.559
like the conversation in America, the
conversation surrounding who built America. President Obama

253
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:23.279
during his tenures said, at one
time, I forget the date he was

254
00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:27.480
talking to entrepreneurs, and he said
to them, you didn't build this country.

255
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:32.240
The working class built this country.
You didn't do it, and you

256
00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:34.880
didn't do it alone. I remember
how insulted I got. I had to

257
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:40.160
work hard. I fought on the
way, and people who took advantage of

258
00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:44.319
me took credit for my work.
I made mistakes, I survived, I

259
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:48.279
had setbacks, and I remember being
upset. But then I thought about he

260
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:52.640
was right. The government builds an
infrastructure. We turn on the lights,

261
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:55.839
the lights work, We turn on
the water, the water flows. We

262
00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:59.400
count on the government to provide us
with these services and to keep us safe

263
00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:03.559
and protect. But when they talk
about the American way, what they're saying

264
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:10.880
now is to the entrepreneurs of the
people who are successful, you didn't build

265
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:17.759
America. The working class people built
America. And that's not the American way.

266
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:25.880
Who built America Americans. No question
laborers, factory people carried the planks

267
00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:30.640
or the rails. There's no question
the labored people drove and managed the heavy

268
00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:36.799
machinery. There's no question the laborers
drove the riverts into the stakes and the

269
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:41.119
bridges and tunnels and highways. There's
no question the labors cleared the fields or

270
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:47.599
the lands for the railroad. But
there's also no question that Americans invested their

271
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:52.240
money, the hard earned money,
and took the risks to build America.

272
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:57.839
Most Americans didn't start out rich.
Most of Americans started out working, and

273
00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:03.319
they advanced, they learned, they
saved, they invested, and then they

274
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:11.480
risked everything to help build the country. Yes they profited, yes they prospered,

275
00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:15.640
Yes they got rich, But this
narrative that the middle class built America

276
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:22.119
alone is not right. Now.
I'm mixed on the unions. I'm a

277
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:25.119
man of the people. On the
one hand. In the beginning, in

278
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:29.880
the early days, people needed the
unions. Companies treated people dastardly. They

279
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:33.279
needed help. As time went on, it got better. Now. My

280
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:37.920
father was a union man. He
needed the union's help. It just wasn't

281
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:44.799
able to negotiate for himself. As
a CEO, I respected the unions.

282
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:49.720
They represented portions of my workforce,
but those workers kind of worked for the

283
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:55.079
union, not for me. It
was tricky. The union and the company

284
00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:59.039
very often had different points of view
on how to get there. Through good

285
00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:02.960
negotiations. For people who understand what
the unions needed, we always manage to

286
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:06.960
work our way through so on balance, I'm a union man. I needed

287
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:08.640
it. I wouldn't have become who
I was if my father didn't have the

288
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:15.720
Union helping him. But to say, the middle class built America without recognizing

289
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:22.079
the other side of America, the
other side of the rail. Together,

290
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:30.480
we all built America, President Obama, together, we all built America,

291
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:37.440
President Biden. We all built America. And we all pay our fair share

292
00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:44.119
in the graduated tax system. That's
nature. Be back in a minute.

293
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:49.880
Always in Fashion spent a lifetime of
my career building the van usen Brand,

294
00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:55.920
and I am so pleased that they're
back with us now talking about suits.

295
00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:00.640
Men were dressing up again, and
it's become cool to wear a suit.

296
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:04.079
Suits can be one on multiple occasions, in multiple ways. You can wear

297
00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:07.480
a suit formally to go out at
night or to an event, to wear

298
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:11.920
a suit to the office with or
without a tie. If you look closely,

299
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:17.119
now fashion trends, suits are being
worn with turtlenecks or mocknecks. The

300
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:22.920
choices are endless, and every one
of them looks right. You could really

301
00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:26.400
really look the part. I believe
that packaging yourself this is important. Does

302
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:30.279
the products you package and wearing a
suit is one of those things that make

303
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:36.200
men look their best. Venues and
invented a new idea. It's called the

304
00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:41.559
cool Flex suit. It's been engineered
with stretched technology, giving you the most

305
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:45.559
comfortable fit and mobility. It's wrinkle
resistant fabric, it's cool moisture wicking.

306
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:51.000
It makes it perfect for all occasions. As we discussed just now, this

307
00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:56.720
new style of looking shop while feeling
cool and comfortable is amazing, and I'm

308
00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:02.720
so excited that the venusing company is
involved in this new technology and is embracing

309
00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:06.920
the whole idea of dressing up.
Let's not forget venues and made its name

310
00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:11.079
with dress shirts. It's only proper
that the suit business follows strongly in its

311
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:15.880
way. You can find venues in
cool Flex Men's Stretched Suits at JC Penny

312
00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:21.680
or online at jcpenny dot com.
Guys, they're great. You should go

313
00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:26.440
look at them. Welcome back,
Joe Always in Fashion. Here's your host,

314
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:29.720
Mark Webber. I had a lot
of time to think this week.

315
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.359
I started thinking about the fact that
because I'm not in corporate America, I

316
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:37.839
have time to think about things that
other people might not be thinking about.

317
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:41.759
In this case, I was driven
to the idea of nature. I started

318
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:48.079
thinking about the fact that I've turned
lemons into lemonade in my life. Got

319
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:52.759
me thinking about coal turning to diamonds. And I want to take a little

320
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:59.359
poetic license now and talk about nature
and the natural state of affairs. We

321
00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:04.200
govern and we're governed. I want
to talk about what's going on in our

322
00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:11.240
government. There's much as I try
to avoid talking politics. I can't quite

323
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:15.559
help it right now because it seems
to keep coming up, and in particular

324
00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:22.000
it comes up of surrounding money and
laws and governing of money and money in

325
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:27.400
the natural state of affairs. I
came across an article that I had someone

326
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:30.920
from the studio record, and I
want you to hear. The House just

327
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:36.279
passed at one point two trillion dollar
infrastructure bill. It'll inject five hundred and

328
00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:40.160
fifty billion in new spending over the
course of five years into America's roads,

329
00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:45.440
bridges, tunnels, airports, and
other physical infrastructure badly in need of update.

330
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:49.400
The bill was helmed by Democrats in
both chambers, but nineteen Republican senators

331
00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:53.559
and thirteen House Republicans voted for it. It's a testament to the fact that

332
00:26:53.640 --> 00:27:00.240
infrastructure is widely recognized as a critical
priority by both major political parties in the

333
00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:06.160
US. Now, when we talk
about bridges and roads and tunnels and airports,

334
00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:10.640
who can argue? I want to
go a little further the second part

335
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:15.480
of this article I came across.
The Biden administration originally envisioned the entire plan

336
00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:21.240
as a climate package, while Republicans
wanted traditional infrastructure. So now funding to

337
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:25.160
address the causes and impact of climate
change is in a bill called the Build

338
00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:29.519
Back Better Act. A portion of
the funding falls under a climate resilience that

339
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:33.359
doesn't roll bank emissions. The Army
Corps of Engineers will get eleven point six

340
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:38.160
billion for flood control. FEMA will
get another three point five billion for flood

341
00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:44.880
mitigation and assistance. The National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration will get one hundred forty

342
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:49.119
million for forecasting climate change and roughly
half a billion dollars to better forecast inland

343
00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:53.000
and coastal flooding. More than one
hundred million dollars will go to the Bureau

344
00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:59.759
of Indian Affairs for relocating indigenous communities
away from climate risks like the rising sea

345
00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:07.240
level. No, it's starting to
get a little more tricky because we're dealing

346
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:15.319
with the environment, and the environment
is tricky because there are those things that

347
00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:19.799
they feel in government, in science
perhaps that we can do to control.

348
00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:26.519
I suppose carbon emissions and reduce the
polluting of the earth, and I'm all

349
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:30.880
for that. And then there are
things that are associated with well, let's

350
00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:40.039
talk about it. Bridges definitely have
to build bridges and make our bridges sound.

351
00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:44.440
Over the course of decades, we've
been hearing bridges are deteriorating, some

352
00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:48.400
of them are breaking. I can
tell you the roads I travel on have

353
00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:53.000
more potholes than I cant imagine.
But are we building enough roads. I

354
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:57.039
don't know. In the last time
we built a major thruway from here to

355
00:28:57.079 --> 00:29:02.839
the west coast or east or north. But I have to believe we have

356
00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:07.440
ten times the amount of oil travel
then when those roadways were built. Terms

357
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:14.799
of the airports, anybody who's traveled
around the world knows that outside this country

358
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:18.839
airports are amazing. They're places to
go, places to hang out. Nobody

359
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:22.799
wants to run out of them.
You're not afraid to get there early because

360
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.119
there's plenty to do. If you
have to hear their disaster and a few

361
00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:30.960
of them have gotten better. And
of course, when you look at our

362
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:37.920
subway or Amtrak for that matter,
we need to get better at what we're

363
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:44.480
doing. Who would argue with that? Except here's where I'm in class and

364
00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:49.920
I'm raising my hand. I have
a question. You ready for this one,

365
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:56.079
Jesse? I can only imagine.
I've spent the last three years going

366
00:29:56.079 --> 00:30:03.079
by LaGuardia Airport. Now LaGuardia Airport, one of New York's largest airports,

367
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:10.000
was a shame, an embarrassment,
a disaster. Anybody you had to go

368
00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:14.839
to LaGuardia Airport, it was a
disaster. You couldn't count on anything.

369
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:18.160
You couldn't count on the planes taking
off in time. The facilities themselves were

370
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:25.400
horrible. There was nothing redeeming about
Luguardia Airport. And to govern A Cuomo's

371
00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:32.240
credit, he decided to rebuild Lguardier's
terminals and make it a state of the

372
00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:38.680
art, current modern airport. Who
wouldn't applaud that? I love the idea.

373
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:42.119
Up until then, if I had
to go somewhere, I've go out

374
00:30:42.119 --> 00:30:48.960
to Newark. Anybody ever been to
Newark Airport? International? Amazing, domestic,

375
00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:53.839
equally amazing, big, open,
easy to navigate long runways. Everything

376
00:30:53.880 --> 00:30:57.680
there was made easy and accessible,
and it was larger than life. And

377
00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:03.880
you had to enjoy even Kennedy Airport
because Kennedy Airport, over the course of

378
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:07.240
years and well the international number of
the terminals, if not all of them,

379
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:10.640
were rebuilt, and it was a
pleasant place. La Guardia was a

380
00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:15.000
disaster. But remember I raised my
hand to have a question to ask who

381
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:21.720
paid for the Guardia being rebuilt?
You know that, Jesse, We did.

382
00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:26.359
Taxpayers, of course, but which
taxpayers? The State of New York

383
00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:32.279
or the federal government? Good question. I would think the state, right,

384
00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:36.119
it's in the state. But then
again stop right there. The state

385
00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:41.720
paid for it. It was Cuomo's
project. So when we hear about this

386
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:48.799
infrastructure bill and you listen to what
it's for, why are we using it

387
00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:52.599
to rebuild airports? Why aren't the
states? Wait a second, are you

388
00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:57.319
saying the infrastructure bill doesn't allocate money
to states to do that? It does,

389
00:31:57.480 --> 00:32:00.680
But why is the federal government?
Why are we paying one point two

390
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:06.559
trillion dollars? Why is it the
federal government's job. Why aren't the states

391
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:08.440
raising their own money in their own
taxes to do it? What does the

392
00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:12.240
federal government have to do with it. Okay, think about it like this.

393
00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:15.599
So you're saying, why should taxpayer
money from other states be used to

394
00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:20.039
build an airport in New York?
Right, Well, they're going to upgrade

395
00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:23.000
the subway in New York. If
I'm living in Minnesota, do I want

396
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:25.400
to pay for the subway? It's
a good point. I can never thought

397
00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:29.440
of it like that. Bottom line, they say, keep taxing the rich.

398
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:30.880
They're going to be more taxes no
matter what they say, to pay

399
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:35.799
for this infrastructure bill, or someday
down the road, your children will be

400
00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:38.079
paying for it. But I don't
understand why it needs to be done if

401
00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:43.119
the states are responsible for their own
airports, hold that thought for a second.

402
00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:47.480
Okay, Amtrak, do you know
who owns Amtrak? I'll tell you

403
00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:53.079
who owns it. It's a for
proper business. It's privately owned. However,

404
00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:59.400
there are preferred shares. Do you
know what preferred shares are? No?

405
00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:02.160
Not exactly. Well, here's what
they are. Generally speaking, public

406
00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:07.440
company issues shares to the public.
Over a course of time. Those companies

407
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:13.559
may need extra money, they may
be in financial hardship, they need meeting

408
00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:17.599
money for investment. They go out
and they offer what's called preferred shares and

409
00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:23.799
preferred shares to set aside. They're
built for these private investors. You know

410
00:33:23.839 --> 00:33:29.039
who owns all the preferred shares in
Amtrak? Let me guess the federal government.

411
00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:35.720
Yes. Now, if I'm not
mistaken, Amtrak has five hundred destinations

412
00:33:35.759 --> 00:33:39.359
that its services. So now the
question is they have the inside track,

413
00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:45.279
if you're pardon the pun. Preferred
shares get special interest rate, special payment

414
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:51.200
terms, special inside price on the
stock. And now the government is inside

415
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:54.960
of trading helping Amtrak. I'm not
quite sure how that works. But if

416
00:33:55.000 --> 00:34:00.400
that doesn't bother you, I have
a different question for you, teacher.

417
00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:04.880
I have a question. What is
that sound? Well, I've read in

418
00:34:04.920 --> 00:34:12.079
this infrastructure bill that the federal government
is going to be building charging stations for

419
00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:17.039
electric automobiles. That's true, Mark, Well, I really like that,

420
00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:21.800
Teacher. I think it sounds great. But I have a question I must

421
00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:29.320
ask you. I've noticed there's a
company named Sinoco. I've also noted that

422
00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:34.920
there's a company called Mobile. I've
also noticed there's a company called Shell,

423
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:37.440
and one more, while i'm at
it, there's a company called Chevron.

424
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:40.960
Is that correct? Yes? So, where are you going with this?

425
00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:46.000
Mark? Well, teacher, all
of these companies are in the oil business,

426
00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:51.840
and from what I can tell,
they're in the gasoline business. The

427
00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:57.199
reason I know this is because what
I'm driving with my father, we stop

428
00:34:57.239 --> 00:35:00.800
off at these gas stations and he
goes in and he by gas and he

429
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:07.440
fills up his car. And these
stations are called Sinoco, Mobile, Chevron

430
00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:13.559
Shell. So I have a question
who built these gas stations and who paid

431
00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:22.840
for them? Yeah, teacher,
why is the federal government taking one point

432
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:30.920
two trillion dollars and spending it on
private companies? Why are they going to

433
00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:36.960
help Tessler and GM and all of
these other companies sell electric cars. Isn't

434
00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:43.119
that the responsibility of these companies?
With all the crying that companies don't pay

435
00:35:43.159 --> 00:35:49.960
their fair share of taxes, why
should we subsidize them by building federal charging

436
00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:54.840
stations rather than building stations themselves.
Wait, I can answer that. So

437
00:35:54.880 --> 00:36:00.559
the federal government has taken the mandate
right that they want clean technologology, they

438
00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:05.599
want they were concerned about climate change. They can't force private enterprise, private

439
00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:09.559
companies to then get into the electric
car business. But they're not forcing companies

440
00:36:10.119 --> 00:36:15.679
GM believes the future of automobiles is
not gas driven. They believe it's electric.

441
00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:22.239
Tesla has proven that it can work. Every single company is eliminating They're

442
00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:25.480
going first to hybrids and then all
electric. Every single company's racing them.

443
00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:30.079
I just don't understand why they're not
putting this on private enterprise. Why the

444
00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:36.480
government's taking money from us to fund
those companies that they're angry at that don't

445
00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:39.400
pay enough taxes. I don't get. I mean, listen, I've talked

446
00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:42.920
about this before. I'll say it
again. I own a private home.

447
00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:45.519
If I buy electric car, easy
for me. I put the installation in

448
00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:50.519
the guy, my electrician comes in, sets up a charging station in my

449
00:36:50.559 --> 00:36:53.400
garage. I'm in business. But
all those people who don't live in private

450
00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:58.880
homes, where are they going to
charge their cars on the street. They

451
00:36:58.960 --> 00:37:01.679
need these stations in order for this
electric car boom to happen. They have

452
00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:06.880
to be charging now. Is it
the role of the federal government to do

453
00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:09.159
it or is it the role of
private enterprise to do it? And that's

454
00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:15.079
the question I'm asking. If Elon
Musk is the richest man in the world

455
00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:20.360
and perhaps going to become the first
trillionaire. God bless him. Thank you

456
00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:23.519
for everything you've done. I kiss
you on both cheeks. But if you're

457
00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:28.519
going to build electric cars and become
a trillionaire from doing it, and have

458
00:37:28.599 --> 00:37:32.440
a company that's worth an excess of
a trillion dollars, why isn't it your

459
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:37.920
responsibility to build those stations for your
customers? And that's the question I'm asking.

460
00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:43.400
It just seems to be too easy
to text America again. Back to

461
00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:46.159
the bill, the restructure bill.
There's a lot of stuff in their associated

462
00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:52.920
with climate change, but there's a
tremendous amount of talk about climate change and

463
00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:59.159
affecting the world because of floods and
problems. The point is, if this

464
00:37:59.239 --> 00:38:05.920
infrastructure bill is going to use to
bolster coastal communities like New York needs walls

465
00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:09.760
built to protect the water overrunning us. If that's what they're going to do,

466
00:38:10.079 --> 00:38:14.360
then I applaud it and I'm with
it, and I think this thing

467
00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:20.599
makes sense predicting the effects of climate
change forty million. If there's one thing

468
00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:25.320
nature has taught us, we can't
control nature. After being on this planet

469
00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:31.920
Western civilization for thousands of years,
we can report on the weather. We

470
00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:37.960
could live through the weather even now. Satellite photography and satellite imaging allows us

471
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:45.639
to predict what's happening now, but
to predict what's going to happen in the

472
00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:49.599
future. That's a lot of billions
of millions of dollars, and I hope

473
00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:53.920
it's money well spent, and that's
on boondoggle. But we can't control the

474
00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:59.519
climate. The best I've heard is
we could stop it from destroying the world.

475
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:02.920
We'll find out nature has something to
say about this one. We'll take

476
00:39:02.920 --> 00:39:06.920
a break and we'll come back.
We're going to talk about more than nature

477
00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:13.119
and things always in fashion. I've
been shopping for fun lately, and while

478
00:39:13.159 --> 00:39:15.719
I'm out, I always look at
men's and I look at women's. What's

479
00:39:15.719 --> 00:39:20.679
going on? And I was particularly
interested in Decay because of their sponsorship of

480
00:39:20.760 --> 00:39:24.079
the show. I went downstairs at
Macy's thirty fourth Street to look around and

481
00:39:24.119 --> 00:39:30.000
I saw Decamy active where And I
promise you, ladies, it is sensational,

482
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:32.760
from the sports bras to the crop
tops, to the leggings and the

483
00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:37.880
sweats, it really is a great
look. And Decay had begun as an

484
00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:43.880
all American brand, dressing, casual
clothes, engines and the stuff looks incredible

485
00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:47.159
and right now. The colors and
the styles is so exciting that I feel

486
00:39:47.159 --> 00:39:51.840
great about the company. I always
do. I wear the men's wear all

487
00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:55.440
the time. I've had situations where
I've gone to big events and been interviewed

488
00:39:55.440 --> 00:40:00.920
in TV or radio and someone comes
up to me my carphone and like they

489
00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:02.840
always do, who you wearing?
And here I am, this big shot

490
00:40:02.840 --> 00:40:07.000
with big company and they said,
well, I'm wearing a DKNY and they

491
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:08.559
laugh and say, no, you're
not. Actually have one on the internet

492
00:40:08.559 --> 00:40:12.760
where you could see me. They
asked me what suit I'm wearing, and

493
00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:15.239
I say, dec and why and
opened it up and there's the dcn Y

494
00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:19.599
label. Great fashion, it fits
well, it looks right. It's designed

495
00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:22.400
to make you comfortable in the city, goes from day and tonight. You

496
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:25.079
can wear it in the morning and
wear in the afternoon and you look cool

497
00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:28.760
at night as well. It's great
for the office. Is great Felisia.

498
00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:32.000
But I was talking about the dcm
Y activewear the first time I really became

499
00:40:32.039 --> 00:40:36.239
aware of it. Jesse and I
were up at Sirius Radio. He was

500
00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:39.960
doing a job for Sirious. He
does Dan Abrams show. He fills in

501
00:40:40.039 --> 00:40:45.000
on the Potus Network and we're in
the lobby and this hip hop group came

502
00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:51.880
up. Well, this really great
looking Latino singer girl Young beautiful, and

503
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:54.000
she was wearing a dkn Y sports
bar and I said to myself, this

504
00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:59.159
is amazing. Actually went to Macy's
to see it, and I'm excited about

505
00:40:59.159 --> 00:41:01.159
the brand. And I tell you
what, ladies, DKY always has great

506
00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:07.559
fashion for work, always wonderful dresses
and things that you'd wear. Their accessories

507
00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:12.000
are great, the shoes are always
very cool. But activewere in particular right

508
00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:15.000
now looks sensational and being that everyone's
athleisure in activewear, it's a great time.

509
00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:20.880
Dcm Y go take a look.
Welcome back Joe Always in fashion.

510
00:41:21.159 --> 00:41:25.559
Here's your host, Mark Webber.
We're talking about nature tonight and the impact

511
00:41:25.599 --> 00:41:30.000
that has on all of our lives. The changes when you think about cold

512
00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:37.360
becoming diamonds, the world changes and
these changes are miraculous and nature has to

513
00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:40.519
say and everything we do, including
human nature, which we'll see where I

514
00:41:40.599 --> 00:41:45.440
go with this one, but I
wanted to talk about fashion and nature a

515
00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:52.079
little early. I mentioned that cashmere
comes from goats and marino will comes from

516
00:41:52.159 --> 00:41:55.920
sheep. But I really want to
talk about fishing for one second. The

517
00:41:57.039 --> 00:42:02.480
nature of fishing is you want to
fish where the fish are swimming. In

518
00:42:02.559 --> 00:42:07.880
the apparel and fashion retail business,
if I want to sell you, I

519
00:42:08.039 --> 00:42:12.880
have to sell you where you are. I have to find you. Now.

520
00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:15.480
Of course, one way is on
the internet, and there are a

521
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:17.440
million tricks, and there are million
ways we can track you. In the

522
00:42:17.519 --> 00:42:22.159
million ways, I can keep annoying
you and finding you and throwing in front

523
00:42:22.199 --> 00:42:24.920
of you anything you've ever shown an
interest in. But I don't want to

524
00:42:24.960 --> 00:42:29.079
talk about that tonight. Tonight,
I don't want to take you a little

525
00:42:29.119 --> 00:42:35.400
behind the scenes in the thinking about
finding you. It's only natural if I

526
00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:38.000
want to sell you, I need
to find you. And in fact,

527
00:42:38.719 --> 00:42:45.360
if I find you, I'll beg
you to buy my products, certain products

528
00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:49.320
that I need to sell. I'll
do anything to sell you. The problem

529
00:42:49.519 --> 00:42:55.639
is there's something called channel conflict or
brand image, and what happens is this

530
00:42:55.760 --> 00:43:02.599
follows. Great brands let the consumer
decide if they want to buy him or

531
00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:09.280
not. If you're Nike, you'll
open a Nike store, You'll sell Macy's

532
00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:16.679
or Norchdrum, you'll sell the chain
stores like Champs or anyone that sells sneakers

533
00:43:16.679 --> 00:43:21.400
and shoes, and you'll get away
with it. If you want to sell

534
00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:25.599
your shoes in J. C.
Penny or Sears or Walmart, you're going

535
00:43:25.639 --> 00:43:30.159
to do it because you're Nike and
you could do it. Now. The

536
00:43:30.159 --> 00:43:36.239
other side of that channel conflict is
how would I say this. You've heard

537
00:43:36.239 --> 00:43:39.159
the expression if you lie with dogs, you come up with fleas well.

538
00:43:39.199 --> 00:43:44.719
There's something to be said for if
you have a brand, you are judged

539
00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:50.480
by where you're sold, and some
of those locations that I've mentioned, particularly

540
00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:57.519
in the off price venue, are
not places where you build brands. And

541
00:43:57.639 --> 00:44:04.239
that's what channel conflict is all about. Now. The problem is retailer has

542
00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:08.039
a say in what's going on.
They will tell you it's my house,

543
00:44:08.920 --> 00:44:13.639
you want to be here, these
are the rules. If I decide to

544
00:44:13.679 --> 00:44:17.360
buy from you, you can't sell
anybody else. Have that got me to

545
00:44:17.440 --> 00:44:27.119
thinking and walking. Sephora one of
the world's great brands LVMH my former friends

546
00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:32.480
own Sepphora. It's a remarkable phenomenon. I don't know whether they're first or

547
00:44:32.679 --> 00:44:39.800
amongst a number of these people who've
developed these cosmetic and fragrance megastores and mega

548
00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:44.760
brands. As one, they're called
Ultra. I saw it in Target the

549
00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:49.079
other day and it was extraordinary how
in Target it looked like an oasis.

550
00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:52.679
And the interesting thing about it is
because it's in their own format and not

551
00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:59.920
Targets, you're walking into Ultra.
It's like you're walking into their store,

552
00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:04.199
not Target. It's a store within
a store, which is what Sephora had

553
00:45:04.280 --> 00:45:07.639
done with j C Penny. When
I joined the group, I was shocked

554
00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:12.719
to find out that Sephora was in
j C Penny, and the management said,

555
00:45:12.760 --> 00:45:15.679
it may be in j C penny, but it's our store, run,

556
00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:19.360
our way, our pricing, our
schemes, our seller, our training,

557
00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:25.920
our graphics. It's a store within
a store. And recently Sepphora is

558
00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:29.719
no longer in j C penny
