Speaker 1: Who is Mark Weber. He's a self made business executive
Speaker 1: here to help you find your success from the New

Speaker 1: global success story in the luxury world of fashion is inspirational.
Speaker 1: He's gone from clerk to CEO twice. Mark is classic
Speaker 1: proof that the American dream is alive and well, here's
Speaker 1: your host of Always in Fashion, Mark Webber.
Speaker 2: Mark Weber. The one thing I've learned as my hair
Speaker 2: turns gray. This gray hair brings wisdom if you're open
Speaker 2: minded and if you're open to it. Common sense is
Speaker 2: the key to navigating life. There's lots of gray out there,
Speaker 2: not just in our hair. This black and white choices
Speaker 2: would be easy, but there's always an approach. Funny thing,
Speaker 2: common sense is not so common. You have to be open.
Speaker 2: Let me apologize to the idiots and morons out there.
Speaker 2: If you're not smart, chances are you'll not be endowed
Speaker 2: with common sense. I learned in business there was nothing
Speaker 2: worse than a dealing with a stupid person who doesn't
Speaker 2: know they're stupid. You just can't reason with them. Another
Speaker 2: lesson I learned from Albert Einstein. The quote doing the
Speaker 2: same thing over and over again and expecting another outcome
Speaker 2: is the definition of insanity. I'll take some poetic license
Speaker 2: tonight and translate it to stupidity. Yeah, I've been thinking
Speaker 2: about common sense this week. With two years of campaigning,
Speaker 2: two months with the candidates lined up in a few days,
Speaker 2: to think about America's choices, you have to wonder why
Speaker 2: common sense is not so common left or right of
Speaker 2: the political spectrum. You have to wonder in life. I
Speaker 2: wake up often with dreams of work. I don't work yet.
Speaker 2: I'm dreaming while I'm working, but I'm really sleepy. The
Speaker 2: retail business isn't working right now. I guess why. When
Speaker 2: I was twenty three years old, I had a talk
Speaker 2: with my boss, kind of a liberal arts discussion. A
Speaker 2: man in this world, go know, I'd be so prophetic
Speaker 2: in life of thinking about environmental issues. When I stated it,
Speaker 2: if we could all stop eating, drinking, and breeding, we'd
Speaker 2: live forever. The aras polluted the water filled with chemicals.
Speaker 2: We switched the bottled water and find that the bottles
Speaker 2: themselves are craving for carcinogenic chemicals. And of course, our food,
Speaker 2: our processed food, which is almost all our food, is
Speaker 2: encompassing and overpowering and it's dangerous. Yeah, a little common sense,
Speaker 2: starting with obesity and the food we eat, would be
Speaker 2: a help in this obese nation. But tonight I'm gonna
Speaker 2: fix it all because I'm going to use some common
Speaker 2: sense and maybe also time for a few observations that
Speaker 2: we haven't thought about in a while. You confront every day,
Speaker 2: but I'll straighten out where we are in the political landscape,
Speaker 2: and hey, maybe indoctrinate you in the world of common sense,
Speaker 2: because tonight this is common sense, it's not so common
Speaker 2: The twenty twenty four edition now joining me the Voice
Speaker 2: of Reason, my co host, my lawyer, my son Jesse Weber.
Speaker 3: Good evening, everybody, good to be here. So you sound
Speaker 3: a little bit like RFK. Yeah, he's going to fix
Speaker 3: the whole health of our whole country. So you seem
Speaker 3: to be in alignment with what he's about to do.
Speaker 3: It's funny because I'm electioned out. I think I'm done
Speaker 3: with all of the election. I've been talking about it
Speaker 3: for months and months and months. I've covered it this week.
Speaker 3: I'm done. I think it's time to hate differently. What
Speaker 3: do you think about that? Do we ever need common sense?
Speaker 4: I think we do? And here's a thought. Here's a thought.
Speaker 3: Why don't we all agree on the obvious and leave
Speaker 3: all the discussions to the philosophical What do you think
Speaker 3: about that?
Speaker 2: Of course that would require common sense? What a simple
Speaker 2: approach you just laid out? Are you going to need examples?
Speaker 3: I have to think one of the biggest issues that
Speaker 3: it was a deciding factor and the electtion men on
Speaker 3: women's sports.
Speaker 4: That one feels like common sense. Can't we all agree
Speaker 4: on that one?
Speaker 3: But of course we can't abortion right to choose that's
Speaker 3: a little bit more difficult. But I mean, how do
Speaker 3: you not allow a woman to make her decision about
Speaker 3: what she wants to do? And I don't care what
Speaker 3: side of the aisle you're on. Can we all agree
Speaker 3: we have a border crisis. We have a really really
Speaker 3: serious problem. We may disagree on how to get it done. Again,
Speaker 3: I'm electioned out, but it was quite the week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was, and I happen to agree with you.
Speaker 2: That's the point of tonight's show. Common sense needs to rule.
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the election because that's all
Speaker 2: that anybody wants to talk about, and I think it's worthwhile,
Speaker 2: and I'm going to let you go to start, Jesse,
Speaker 2: But I have a question more than anything else. I
Speaker 2: was under the impression that identification wasn't necessary to vote,
Speaker 2: and in theory, it's not. To My local polling place
Speaker 2: was the high school near where I live. I walked in,
Speaker 2: they asked me my name. I gave them my name,
Speaker 2: and they told me which table to check in with,
Speaker 2: so they had my name there. And then when I
Speaker 2: got to the table, they asked my address, and I
Speaker 2: gave them my address and my name and they let
Speaker 2: me vote. So it's not without some preordained or pre
Speaker 2: work that they had me listed. Is that enough? Can
Speaker 2: anybody just walk in and vote if the name is
Speaker 2: not on a list? I suppose so. So you don't
Speaker 2: have to be a citizen, Well, you need us an address?
Speaker 2: Do you know?
Speaker 4: You have to be registered to vote, And in order
Speaker 4: to register to vote in a.
Speaker 3: Lot of states, you have to fill out the appropriate
Speaker 3: paperwork like your DMV paperwork, you have to prove you're
Speaker 3: a citizen at some point. You might not need your
Speaker 3: ID on the day of to go into a polling place,
Speaker 3: but you have to already be registered. I did an
Speaker 3: absentee ballot because I'm actually registered in Long Island, but
Speaker 3: I was going to be in the city and when
Speaker 3: I did it, I mean I was registered to vote.
Speaker 3: I had to, you know, at test to who I
Speaker 3: was too. It wasn't so simple. And by the way,
Speaker 3: if you get caught lying on any of these forms,
Speaker 3: that's prison time, all right, that's no joke. So you
Speaker 3: can't just realize, yeah, it's a crime fraud. You ever
Speaker 3: sign anything, You ever sign any of these documents. When
Speaker 3: you're doing it, you have to attest to who you are.
Speaker 2: So all this talk on the Republican side that we're
Speaker 2: allowing people to vote without ID is a little twisted
Speaker 2: because they have to register and at some point you're
Speaker 2: saying if they're not citizens, they will get caught when
Speaker 2: they're registering. That's what you're saying.
Speaker 3: You have to be a citizen to vote, and you can't.
Speaker 3: It's not like I just go in, Hey I'm John Smith.
Speaker 4: I'm ready to vote. Okay, sounds good.
Speaker 3: It's there had to be something there for you to
Speaker 3: be certified to be able to vote. And so I, look,
Speaker 3: I do I think it would be better for people
Speaker 3: to come in at their voting polls and have actual
Speaker 3: idea to vote.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that would be better.
Speaker 2: Yeah, prove who they are.
Speaker 3: But aside, Yeah, but look, I think there's already safeguards
Speaker 3: put in place. I'll tell you this much from the election.
Speaker 3: You know who the biggest winner was out of the
Speaker 3: whole election America?
Speaker 4: Why?
Speaker 3: Because there was no fraud, There was no election interference.
Speaker 3: This was a very smooth, clear cut election. It was
Speaker 3: so clear who the winners and the losers were. There
Speaker 3: was no doubt cast. Now, of course Donald Trump won.
Speaker 3: There's been arguments that if he didn't win, what would
Speaker 3: the of argument have been. But at this point, no
Speaker 3: one is saying that this election was illegitimate. They might
Speaker 3: disagree with the results of it, but I think it
Speaker 3: was a clean, fair, perfect election in that sense, and
Speaker 3: that was a breath of fresh air to say, yeah,
Speaker 3: it was really great.
Speaker 2: So what do you think about the outcome?
Speaker 3: Look, a lot of people are divided about this, about
Speaker 3: the outcome. As they are about going into the election,
Speaker 3: I think what we have to say is we have
Speaker 3: to accept the results. No matter what side you are,
Speaker 3: accept the results. You wish for success for the new
Speaker 3: president and the administer, and try to find places to
Speaker 3: come together. You know, it's interesting you look at it.
Speaker 3: He won the popular vote and he won the electoral college.
Speaker 3: You can't say seventy million people who voted for him
Speaker 3: are all fascists or all love everything he says, or
Speaker 3: all believe that or garbage, or you can't you just
Speaker 3: can't do that. What you can say is maybe the
Speaker 3: things they voted on and maybe the things I believe
Speaker 3: are not that dissimilar.
Speaker 4: Maybe we're a lot more alike than we think.
Speaker 3: And it's not because sure, people didn't vote for Kamala
Speaker 3: Harris for inappropriate reasons because of the racist or their
Speaker 3: sexist Sure, I'm sure that exists. I'm sure that exists.
Speaker 3: But when you think about what the issues are and
Speaker 3: what you think about the grievances are, I imagine if
Speaker 3: you take these people and you put them in a
Speaker 3: room with people who voted for Kamala Harris, there would
Speaker 3: be more a greater degree of similarity than people realize.
Speaker 3: And I think it's a wake up call for Democrats
Speaker 3: that going all the way to the left and going
Speaker 3: very extreme on these issues is not only not resonating,
Speaker 3: but you're not going to win. And they need to revamp.
Speaker 3: They need to set a new course and try to
Speaker 3: be the party of common sense. They need to see
Speaker 3: that these things they're pushing to the left are really
Speaker 3: pushing people away. And I can't say that all the
Speaker 3: people that voted for Donald Trump, they're probably looking for
Speaker 3: that middle ground approach. And I think that that is
Speaker 3: a breath of fresh air. I think that's maybe a
Speaker 3: takeaway to move forward with.
Speaker 4: Am I wrong?
Speaker 2: Well, I would say to you this, I have a
Speaker 2: question more than an answer. I'll have my own point
Speaker 2: of view in a minute. When I first watched the
Speaker 2: TV coverage the following morning, I was afraid to watch
Speaker 2: at night. I just didn't want to go to sleep
Speaker 2: one way or the other. And I woke up in
Speaker 2: the morning, turned on my iPhone and saw who was
Speaker 2: president and I was astounded. But anyway, to make a
Speaker 2: long story short, the newscast is on any station, whether
Speaker 2: it's Fox or CNBC. They were all genuine, Hey, the
Speaker 2: country one. Like you said, Jesse, the election was fair.
Speaker 2: We have to accept it, and we sho you wish
Speaker 2: the new president good luck. I don't think that lasted
Speaker 2: very long, did it? No?
Speaker 3: Because people are really angry. And look, I'm going to
Speaker 3: read you something right now. This is Jeff Bezos. Jeff Bezos,
Speaker 3: the guy who founded the Washington Post, who we will
Speaker 3: all agree is a left leaning publication. He wrote, big
Speaker 3: congratulations to our forty fifth and now forty seventh president
Speaker 3: on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory. No nation
Speaker 3: has bigger opportunities, wishing real Donald Trump all success in
Speaker 3: leading and uniting the America we all love. Do you
Speaker 3: get a more perfect message than that from somebody who
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure didn't vote for Donald Trump. I don't
Speaker 3: know for sure, But he owns a publication where they
Speaker 3: went up into arms because he decided that the Washington
Speaker 3: Post wouldn't endorse Donald Trump or Kamala Harris and people
Speaker 3: walked off the staff. That's how left leaning that publication is.
Speaker 3: So for him to write something like that, or Mark Cuban,
Speaker 3: who hates Donald Trump, to say he won fair and square,
Speaker 3: that's it congratulation. That's what you're hoping to see. But
Speaker 3: people are really really upset, and people hate Donald Trump,
Speaker 3: and they're worried, and they're scared and they're fearful. So
Speaker 3: if you're Donald Trump, I think this is an opportunity
Speaker 3: to try to unite the country and say, I know
Speaker 3: all of you are worried, I'm gonna do this.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna do that. That is not my plan. That is
Speaker 4: not my plan.
Speaker 3: I was reading today what his list of goals are
Speaker 3: in the first few days when he becomes president. You
Speaker 3: know what one of his goals is no federal ban
Speaker 3: on abortion. He said that, So that was a big
Speaker 3: concern that people have. If he's saying, right, that's not
Speaker 3: my goal. That's not what I'm gonna do. Maybe that's
Speaker 3: more of what he has to do to try to
Speaker 3: bring people together.
Speaker 2: Well before we go completely come by, yah, I saw
Speaker 2: Whoopi Goldberg on the view, I saw Jimmy Kimmel, I
Speaker 2: saw the hate stunning to come. And it's started to
Speaker 2: bother me because it's just changed. You know, these people
Speaker 2: who've all talked about uniting, you have a president, thank god.
Speaker 2: In his opening address. Towards the end, I was nervous
Speaker 2: I wasn't sure he'd say it. He said he wanted
Speaker 2: to unite the country. Isn't this the time that everybody
Speaker 2: just should suck it up and wish him luck and
Speaker 2: hope that he does the right thing. I don't see
Speaker 2: enough of it. Am I crazy or what? No?
Speaker 3: No, the Attorney General of New York, the Attorney General
Speaker 3: of New York who filed that action against Donald Trump
Speaker 3: was able to get it over four hundred million dollar verdict.
Speaker 3: She comes out the day after the election, hours after
Speaker 3: he's announced to be the winner, and says, congratulations. I
Speaker 3: hope we can work together, or maybe we can work together.
Speaker 3: But then she goes, this is not the outcome we
Speaker 3: were expecting, but we are ready and basically, like declaring
Speaker 3: a preemptive strike, we will declare legal warfare against you
Speaker 3: should you do something. I mean, that's a weird thing
Speaker 3: to say. That's a weird thing to say. And I
Speaker 3: was actually disturbed by the top government lawyer in New
Speaker 3: York to make a comment like that.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm afraid saying something wrong to the mailman
Speaker 2: that'll never deliver on my mail again. These people are
Speaker 2: talking to the press of the United States. They're crazy look,
Speaker 2: the first thing we have to talk. I'm just saying,
Speaker 2: whatever take you have on the election, whether you're euphoric
Speaker 2: because Donald Trump won or you're miserable because he lost,
Speaker 2: this is an opportunity for us to get back to
Speaker 2: being one country. And as long as the elected president
Speaker 2: is being humble in victory, and he is, he's being gracious,
Speaker 2: he's saying the right things, this is the time to
Speaker 2: support him. We all should want the country to survive
Speaker 2: and thrive. He said it should be the golden era
Speaker 2: of the United States. Come on out there. If we're
Speaker 2: going to anybody, listen, no matter how much you dislike Trump,
Speaker 2: give him a chance. That's what I think now, Jesse,
Speaker 2: why do you think he won? Is it?
Speaker 3: Why do I think he won? Or why do I
Speaker 3: think the Democrats lost?
Speaker 2: Okay? Why did the Democrats lose? Jesse?
Speaker 3: I am not convinced that if Kamala Harris picked a
Speaker 3: different vice president the outcome would have been different. I'm
Speaker 3: not convinced that if President Biden stayed in the race
Speaker 3: the outcome would have been different. This is actually a
Speaker 3: larger issue for the Democrats. And I mentioned it before
Speaker 3: that they're their own worst enemy and I think they
Speaker 3: turned a large percentage of the American populace off. Arab
Speaker 3: Americans had turned on the Biden administration because of their
Speaker 3: stance on the Middle East. They just didn't vote. They
Speaker 3: just didn't vote. And so I think there are people
Speaker 3: who voted for Donald Trump who maybe never voted for
Speaker 3: him before because Kamala Harris was such an unattractive candidate
Speaker 3: and they didn't like where the Democratic Party went. And
Speaker 3: I think that's a big part of it, and just
Speaker 3: people were upset at Democrats and just chose not to vote.
Speaker 3: So it's not just only a referendum. It's not only
Speaker 3: people liked what Donald Trump was representing. Sure he has
Speaker 3: the supporters, but I think people were just so turned
Speaker 3: off by what the Democratic Party has become that it's
Speaker 3: a wake up call.
Speaker 2: You know what they forget. This is a big country,
Speaker 2: a big country. You know. I have friends that are
Speaker 2: from the Midwest. They're different, they process information differently, they
Speaker 2: talk differently. There's something genuine about them. And when you
Speaker 2: start doing some of these really leftist things that went
Speaker 2: off the left's chart, life changed and they alienated so
Speaker 2: many people. But you want to I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 2: you want to know my favorite thing that I've heard
Speaker 2: so far about why they lost. I had something from Politico.
Speaker 2: I had it recorded. I'm going to play it right now.
Speaker 5: DEM's rage against Biden's arrogance after Harris loss, Democrats are
Speaker 5: directing their rage over losing the presidential race at Joe Biden,
Speaker 5: who they blame for setting up Kamala Harris for failure
Speaker 5: by not dropping out sooner. They say his advancing age,
Speaker 5: questions over his mental acuity, and deep unpopularity put Democrats
Speaker 5: at a sharp disadvantage. They are livid that they were
Speaker 5: forced to embrace a candidate who voters had made clear
Speaker 5: they did not want, and then stayed in the race
Speaker 5: long after it was clear he couldn't win. Jim Manley,
Speaker 5: a top a to former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, said, quoting,
Speaker 5: he should and have run. This is no time to
Speaker 5: pull punches or be concerned about anyone's feelings. He and
Speaker 5: his staff have done an enormous amount of damage to
Speaker 5: this country. End of quote. According to interviews with nearly
Speaker 5: a dozen officials and party operatives, Biden squandered valuable months
Speaker 5: only to end in disaster on the debate stage and
Speaker 5: by the time he decided to pass the torch, he
Speaker 5: had saddled Harris with too many challenges and far too
Speaker 5: little time to build a winning case for herself.
Speaker 2: I think that's crazy blaming Biden. The fact that the Democrats, Yeah,
Speaker 2: the fact that the Democrats didn't have an open election
Speaker 2: to who they could choose. They handed a Tuhar on
Speaker 2: a plate. And I remind you that when she was
Speaker 2: running for the Democratic nomination in the primary, she got
Speaker 2: one percent of the vote. America voted whoever the Democrats was.
Speaker 2: They didn't want to. I think she was one of
Speaker 2: the most difficult candidates in the history of government. And
Speaker 2: they're blaming Biden. They're not blaming themselves for the whole process.
Speaker 2: They're not blaming themselves for their what they were saying
Speaker 2: with all to respect to her. And I made it
Speaker 2: unclear on this radio I had preferred Donald Trump. I
Speaker 2: like Donald Trump. I have a history with him. I
Speaker 2: worked with him. He was a solid citizen. He stood
Speaker 2: up and did everything he said. Do I like everything
Speaker 2: he stands for? Do I like the stories about him?
Speaker 2: Do I like some of the thing?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: But in reality, I liked his presidency. I liked what
Speaker 2: he achieved. I liked what he could have achieved if
Speaker 2: it wasn't for all the Russian collusion in the Ukrainian
Speaker 2: phone call, and the hate and the vitriol that was
Speaker 2: aimed at him. He had a great president that was
Speaker 2: undermined by his fellow Americans. You ever remember when called
Speaker 2: me and everyone else is saying Donald Trump, Oh Schumer,
Speaker 2: Donald Trump taking on the CIA and the FBI. Those
Speaker 2: are powerful people. He doesn't know what he's getting into.
Speaker 2: That's insane. They picked the wrong candidate with the wrong message,
Speaker 2: who was inarticulate and unable to capture the hearts and
Speaker 2: minds in the future of people. I think it's crazy.
Speaker 2: All I want to say on that particular issue, it's
Speaker 2: time for the country to heal, to get back together.
Speaker 2: Stop the arguments and let's agree. Jesse said it best.
Speaker 2: On things that are common sense, let's just agree. They
Speaker 2: don't require much. On things that aren't common sense, that
Speaker 2: are more philosophical, have a debate. But Donald Trump became
Speaker 2: a man of the people, a billionaire man of the people,
Speaker 2: because he knew how to talk to people and how
Speaker 2: to deal with workers. He has a history and what
Speaker 2: is his message this think about it. I have a
Speaker 2: friend who wrote to me, what is his message? It's
Speaker 2: hard to even think that I have to explain it.
Speaker 2: Do you want to talk about common sense, less crime,
Speaker 2: secure social security, a strong military, a government who'll support
Speaker 2: their allys like Israel. A guy who wants peace. He
Speaker 2: said it from day one. I do not want wars.
Speaker 2: He doesn't want war. In the meetings, people are dying.
Speaker 2: You can't get these people. You can't resurrect their families
Speaker 2: who are losing their loved ones. In the case of Ukraine,
Speaker 2: an entire generation is being wiped out. Families are growing up,
Speaker 2: losing their children. They're male heirs, mothers are widows, children
Speaker 2: are orphans, and it's going on and on. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 2: He said, I will talk to Putin. I'll solve this.
Speaker 2: Putin has to be reason with. You can't put Pandora
Speaker 2: back in the bottle. You can't put the genie back.
Speaker 2: Whatever has happened has happened. There is going to be
Speaker 2: a way that has their men. Russia is not going
Speaker 2: away without anything, and Ukraine is not gonna have everything.
Speaker 2: Who are we listening to celebrities late night hosts. They've
Speaker 2: been dragging down Trump from day one? What is wrong
Speaker 2: with this country right now? This man stands for the
Speaker 2: right thing. Why should we be buying oil from our enemies,
Speaker 2: from people who help us when we have it underground?
Speaker 2: And by the way, if you're can allow the rest
Speaker 2: of the world to drill when you wor about climate
Speaker 2: change and we have the cleanest coal in the world,
Speaker 2: wouldn't it be better if those enemies of ours stop
Speaker 2: drilling and we drilled. Where is he arguing you want
Speaker 2: to give up on the Trump presidency? He says, come,
Speaker 2: some comedian made a comment about Puerto Ricans. I can't
Speaker 2: think of any group that isn't insulted any given day
Speaker 2: by a thousand comedians. That's what they do. I never
Speaker 2: heard Trump say he didn't like Asians, or Hispanics or
Speaker 2: anything for that matter. Look, this is a time to
Speaker 2: get it together. This is a time where we have
Speaker 2: to get it together. We should do what needs to
Speaker 2: be done and get together. It's a one time opportunity.
Speaker 2: He's not the devil. He's not a dictator. You can't
Speaker 2: be a dictator in this country. There are too many
Speaker 2: checks and balances. So I'm extraordinarily happy that Donald Trump won.
Speaker 2: I thought Kamala Harrison's message was weak and when she
Speaker 2: was able to put some words together rather than word salad.
Speaker 2: I had no idea what she was talking about. But
Speaker 2: her past history, her past comments, they've been played for
Speaker 2: us over the TV, on and on and on. What
Speaker 2: she stood for Nobody was buying. She was not a
Speaker 2: strong candidate. Worse yet, she was part of an administration
Speaker 2: that I don't want to say failed the country but
Speaker 2: didn't prosper. The country had problems and it was getting worse.
Speaker 2: I feel an energy amongst the people that support Trump.
Speaker 2: You could feel it. It's tangible. The degree of excitement
Speaker 2: far exceeds the degree of disappointment and the people that
Speaker 2: hate him. But what an opportunity for us all to
Speaker 2: get together and do something right, to have a country
Speaker 2: that could be again the best in the world, and
Speaker 2: people who could be happy again and prosper and provide
Speaker 2: for their families. Go Trump, Go to Republicans. Give us
Speaker 2: a break. If you're not, try and embrace the idea
Speaker 2: that this could be great until it's not. With that
Speaker 2: as a backdrop, it's the best I can give. You know,
Speaker 2: everybody's talk about this election, there are a million different
Speaker 2: angles there are a million different reasons. I applaud Donald
Speaker 2: Trump for his nine hundred visits, took places all around
Speaker 2: the country, delivering the same message, with a personality, a
Speaker 2: sense of humor, a degree of charm. He's not like
Speaker 2: any candidate that ever lived. He might not be like
Speaker 2: any candidate who lives ever again. He's gracious, he's liked,
Speaker 2: and he's done the right thing. They tried to put
Speaker 2: him in jail, they tried to shoot him, they tried
Speaker 2: to impeach him, they tried to try to try to
Speaker 2: and he came out in top with fight, Fight, Fight.
Speaker 2: I'm going to live my life every day doing what's
Speaker 2: right for America. Give the guy a chance back in
Speaker 2: a minute with some common sense.
Speaker 5: Always in fashion.
Speaker 2: As one of the world's most celebrated fashion designers, Carl
Speaker 2: Lagafeld was renowned for his aspirational and cutting edge approach
Speaker 2: to style. His unique vision of Parisian shit comes to
Speaker 2: America through Carlagofeld Paris. He has women's collections, men's actions,
Speaker 2: ready to wear, accessory, shoes and bags. The fashion house
Speaker 2: Carlagofeld also offers a range of watches I Wear in
Speaker 2: premium fragrances. You can explore the Carlagofil collection at carlagofelpowers
Speaker 2: dot com. But it's more than that. I, for one,

Speaker 2: love them, love them. I'm a big fan of khaki
Speaker 2: pants and a big fan of golf clothes, and I'm
Speaker 2: a big fan of Isid. I used to be the
Speaker 2: head of Iszid. In fact, my company bought it and
Speaker 2: out of bankruptcy and the CEO of the company asked
Speaker 2: me to come in and fix it. And he said
Speaker 2: to me, Mark, the future of the company's in your hands.
Speaker 2: Can you do this? And I said, I will do it.
Speaker 2: I put everything, my heart and soul into making Iszid
Speaker 2: the powerhouse that it is today. Now. I left a

Speaker 2: think they'll be very happy with your choices.
Speaker 1: Isaad for men, welcome back to Always in Fashion. Here's
Speaker 1: your host, Mark Webber.
Speaker 2: I have been a student of human nature my entire life.
Speaker 2: It's probably why I don't like humans. I do find
Speaker 2: some people along the way that I like, or admire
Speaker 2: or I enjoy, but generally speaking, as a species, I
Speaker 2: do not like humans. I don't like what we stand for.
Speaker 2: There's not enough pure hearts and common sense. Fact tonight's
Speaker 2: show is common sense is not so common. In twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four, we just had an extraordinary election and the
Speaker 2: people voted. The people gave a mandate that the direction
Speaker 2: the country was going in is not the direction they
Speaker 2: wanted for the future. So I'm excited that common sense
Speaker 2: to a degree went out. Now all of you that
Speaker 2: hate Trump, all of you that hate Republicans, all of
Speaker 2: you that are believing the fake news, or believing all
Speaker 2: the messages, or just don't like him because who he
Speaker 2: is as a man. I could see why there are
Speaker 2: certain issues with Trump. You know what they are that
Speaker 2: you don't admire him for, and you downright have to
Speaker 2: dislike him for. I get it. But right now, it's
Speaker 2: the fate of the world, because this is not what
Speaker 2: happens in the United States affects the entirety of the world.
Speaker 2: We have a new president. He won farre and square
Speaker 2: that people have voted, we can move on. Let's support him.
Speaker 2: Having said that, one of the issues I wanted to
Speaker 2: talk about is health. I'm really excited about Robert F. Kennedy.
Speaker 2: I think when he first came out, everybody positioned to
Speaker 2: him like he's a quack. They made him look like
Speaker 2: he's crazy, And now it seems like what he's saying
Speaker 2: is based in fact, and he has a lot of
Speaker 2: good ideas. In fact, I am torn between taking the
Speaker 2: COVID booster. My doctor wants me to take it, half
Speaker 2: my family doesn't want me to take it. Friends I
Speaker 2: talk to, some say yes, some say no. I really
Speaker 2: don't know, but I think health being at the forefront
Speaker 2: of the country is brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. And I think
Speaker 2: Trump aligning himself with the smartest man in the world,
Speaker 2: maybe Elon Musk and these business leaders, and certainly with Rfk,
Speaker 2: speaks a lot on his behalf. And I hope he
Speaker 2: can set up a cabinet that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2: But I like the subject of health, and one thing
Speaker 2: it particularly is near and dear to my heart, and
Speaker 2: that's the subject of obesity. I have never been obese
Speaker 2: in my life, but I can tell you I've been
Speaker 2: on a diet my whole life. I have been watching
Speaker 2: what I eat for as long as I can remember.
Speaker 2: When as young boy, I was chubby. I had a
Speaker 2: thirty eight inch waist. When I was twelve years old,
Speaker 2: I went away to sleep away camp and came back
Speaker 2: with a twenty eight inch waist. I was a new human.
Speaker 2: I felt different about myself. I was energized. I was happy.
Speaker 2: I was a new person. Hey, I'm a former fatso
Speaker 2: so I could say it. I wasn't overweight anymore. Now
Speaker 2: it didn't stay. I always gain weight and always lost
Speaker 2: weight until the last three and a half years. I
Speaker 2: do subscribe to the philosophy of Kate Morse, of all people,
Speaker 2: the most famous model in the world over the longest
Speaker 2: period of time, where she said nothing tastes as good
Speaker 2: as skinny feels, and she's right. I really believe that
Speaker 2: that's my mantra. I could eat the greatest food in
Speaker 2: the world when having had a diet problem my whole life.
Speaker 2: As I'm eating and I'm starting to feel guilty, so
Speaker 2: even if I'm enjoying it, I'm wondering, am I doing
Speaker 2: the right thing? But let's say I do eat It
Speaker 2: takes five minutes to eat it, and if you eat
Speaker 2: the right food, it's easy to judge. I asked that
Speaker 2: if it's not, it sticks with you a whole night
Speaker 2: until the morning. But I believe in now, after all
Speaker 2: these years of being on diets and watching my food,
Speaker 2: that nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. I want
Speaker 2: to be skinny, and I've gone from an extra large
Speaker 2: like Rocky one, to a middleweight and Rocky three. I'm
Speaker 2: a middleweight now I'm wearing mediums from extra large and
Speaker 2: two exls it's amazing and I've enjoyed it. And I'll
Speaker 2: tell you a little something I've always thought about food.
Speaker 2: I've always been on a diet. And here's something funny
Speaker 2: that nobody knows or those of your listeners of the show.
Speaker 2: I haven't told this story in a long time. When
Speaker 2: I first started working, my wife felt the obligation to
Speaker 2: cook for me. She felt that that we as a family,
Speaker 2: she cook together and eat together, not eat out. When
Speaker 2: I came up for work, So five point thirty in
Speaker 2: the morning, I'm getting dressed, I'm getting ready to go
Speaker 2: to work. My wife is up, she's saying goodbye to me.
Speaker 2: She says, what do you want for dinner? What do
Speaker 2: I want for dinner? I mean, if you think about
Speaker 2: it's five thirty in the morning, and most of them
Speaker 2: I've said, I don't know. Make me something. I can't
Speaker 2: think about it right now. So my wife was experiment
Speaker 2: I think she made some good things. She poisoned me
Speaker 2: a few times, but overall she was a good cook.
Speaker 2: And I was always a struggle. And then one morning
Speaker 2: she asked me, I said, decide what you want. I
Speaker 2: come home. That night she made roasted chicken. When I
Speaker 2: walked in the door. The smell of it was like
Speaker 2: nothing I ever smelled before. It's the most delicious smell
Speaker 2: in the world. When I ate the roasted chicken, it
Speaker 2: almost fell off the bone. It was so good. It
Speaker 2: was in its own gravy. The thing was beyond believable.
Speaker 2: And at dinner that night, I said to my wife,
Speaker 2: don't ask me anyone on for dinner. I want this
Speaker 2: for dinner every night. She said, what do you mean
Speaker 2: every night? I said, here's the deal. Don't ask me
Speaker 2: until I tell you to change it. Just make it.
Speaker 2: My wife made so many chickens over the course of
Speaker 2: five years that she was like, you ever watch these
Speaker 2: movies in the army where they teach you how to
Speaker 2: strip the rifle and reload it without looking with her
Speaker 2: eyes blindfolded. When my wife could clean a chicken with
Speaker 2: her eyes closed and her blindfold I ate chicken for
Speaker 2: five years running, every single night. The only exception was
Speaker 2: we went out to the restaurant. I read something else,
Speaker 2: but I ate chicken. Now. I used to laugh at
Speaker 2: these stories, but I thought they were very cool, and
Speaker 2: people told me I was eccentric. I never realized what
Speaker 2: eccentric was till one night I met someone who told
Speaker 2: me I was eccentric. I'll come back to that, I
Speaker 2: guess in a minute. I did the chicken for five years,
Speaker 2: and then I needed to lose weight because while I
Speaker 2: was maintaining my weight, I was getting wet. I never cared.
Speaker 2: I never did the right things. I'd eat ice cream
Speaker 2: and cake and I always twenty pounds overweight. I needed
Speaker 2: to lose weight, and I said to my wife one night,
Speaker 2: I said, you know what, make me salmon tonight? I
Speaker 2: have to go on a diet. Three years later, after
Speaker 2: my wife not asking me what I want for dinner,
Speaker 2: I had salmon every single night. Crazy, I mean crazy again,
Speaker 2: with the exception when we went out to dinner one night.
Speaker 2: She went to the fish market and they didn't have salmon.
Speaker 2: They had halibut. And she made me halibut with a
Speaker 2: little hot sauce to the side that I could dip it.
Speaker 2: And I found it delicious. And Halibut's a fish that
Speaker 2: not only keeps you weight down, I think it eats
Speaker 2: up all the other calories. It's like a miracle fish.
Speaker 2: So for the next three years, I eat the same
Speaker 2: thing every night. So between five three and three. There
Speaker 2: were eleven years where I ate the same thing every
Speaker 2: night and I never was asked what I want for dinner.
Speaker 2: But over the course of time, I gained weight and
Speaker 2: I never was the ideal weight until I guess before COVID.
Speaker 2: I had a sinus infection and I had to go
Speaker 2: to the local doctor, not an emergency, when I had
Speaker 2: a local doctor that I used, and I went in
Speaker 2: from Mount Sini Hospital, And as the story goes, it's
Speaker 2: I think it's hysterical. As the story goes. When it
Speaker 2: came to, you know, taking my vitals, my blood pressure,
Speaker 2: my oxygen levels, I had a step on the scale
Speaker 2: and I said, whatever you do to the woman, the
Speaker 2: nurse practitioner who's doing the work, said, do not tell me.
Speaker 2: Do not show me how much I weigh, because I
Speaker 2: knew I was uncomfortable and I didn't want to know.
Speaker 2: So I it turned out I did have a sinus affection.
Speaker 2: They gave me antibiotic. I went home. I gave the
Speaker 2: paper to my wife and I said to my wife,
Speaker 2: do not tell me how much I weigh. I'm going
Speaker 2: to go on a diet tomorrow. She's so sure you
Speaker 2: don't want to know, I said, yeah, I'm sure you know.
Speaker 2: I said to myself, I'm not going to step on
Speaker 2: the scale because it's depressing, but I'll ask my wife
Speaker 2: what it said on the chart. So my wife says
Speaker 2: to me, you weigh two hundred and eight pounds and
Speaker 2: walk you asked me, I know you're going to be miserable.
Speaker 2: See in my life, I never weighed more than one ninety.
Speaker 2: So I really really doubled down on my diet, and
Speaker 2: over the next three weeks, I went on a tear
Speaker 2: and I was very careful what I and I couldn't
Speaker 2: wait to step on the scale. Three weeks later, when
Speaker 2: I did, I weighed two hundred and eight pounds. I
Speaker 2: go into my wife and I said, I'm miserable. I
Speaker 2: weigh the same I did three weeks ago. I can't
Speaker 2: believe I just devoted all this time to losing weight.
Speaker 2: And she starts laughing. I said, what are you laughing about?
Speaker 2: She says, I have a story to tell you. I said,
Speaker 2: what you remember? You asked me to tell you how
Speaker 2: much your weigh and I told you two hundred and eight.
Speaker 2: She says, I wasn't wearing my glasses. I didn't have
Speaker 2: the heart to tell you. When I looked at my glasses,
Speaker 2: you were two hundred and eighteen pounds. So in reality,
Speaker 2: I mean if she would have told me two hundred
Speaker 2: and eighteen pounds, I think that was the end of
Speaker 2: Mark Weber. But the reality was I had lost ten
Speaker 2: pounds over those three weeks doing the right thing. Now,
Speaker 2: what is the right thing? Is there anyone in this
Speaker 2: country that needs to be told what to eat and
Speaker 2: what not to eat? Can we have some common sense?
Speaker 2: Which this theme of what the show is that I
Speaker 2: common sense is not so common in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: There is no one in this country, maybe the world,
Speaker 2: who doesn't know what they should eat or what they
Speaker 2: shouldn't eat if they want to maintain their weight or
Speaker 2: they want to lose their weight. Now I will tell
Speaker 2: you I lost fifty seven pounds. Fifty seven pounds, that's
Speaker 2: like losing a person. That's a lot of weight. I
Speaker 2: tell you there are only three ways to lose weight.
Speaker 2: One starve. Now by starving, I mean eating the right foods,
Speaker 2: the right size portions, no desserts or only a bite
Speaker 2: of a dessert. You can't do it. You have to
Speaker 2: be really magnificent about it. Me my first thirty pounds
Speaker 2: of this die were ilus fifty seven. I was like
Speaker 2: a Navy seal. You imagine asking a Navy seal to
Speaker 2: lose weight, how dedicated and hard working they would be
Speaker 2: to do it. That's what I was like, that's one way.
Speaker 2: Do I recommend it for everyone? No, but that brings
Speaker 2: in number two. Count calories. I lost thirty pounds and
Speaker 2: I ended up talking to this woman who is a nutritionist,
Speaker 2: and I said, you know, I lost thirty pounds. It
Speaker 2: was really hard. She said, well, you're counting calories, aren't
Speaker 2: She said no. He said, well, let me tell you.
Speaker 2: You want to lose weight and have it easy. Count calories.
Speaker 2: You're entitled to twenty five hundred calories a day. If
Speaker 2: you want to lose weight, you have to do less
Speaker 2: calories per day. And let me give you a trick.
Speaker 2: If you take off five hundred calories a day and
Speaker 2: only do two thousand a day, at the end of
Speaker 2: a week seven days, you lose thirty five hundred calories
Speaker 2: and you're going to lose at least a pound. I
Speaker 2: started counting calories and from there the thirty pounds I lost,
Speaker 2: I lost twenty seven pounds. That seemed overnight. So back
Speaker 2: to where I was. There are two ways I just
Speaker 2: gave you to lose weight, and then of course there's
Speaker 2: these new things. Oh zempic the shot to tell you
Speaker 2: the truth. I know they work. I know a lot
Speaker 2: of people have done it. I know the weight loss
Speaker 2: is dramatic. I know nothing more than that. I don't
Speaker 2: know if you're hungry when you're doing it. I don't
Speaker 2: know if it's healthy. I don't know what happens if
Speaker 2: you have to do it for life. But that's the
Speaker 2: third choice, and you'll see for me. Here's the thing.
Speaker 2: Keeping the weight off is ten times more difficult than
Speaker 2: losing it. You know how many times I lost twenty pounds,
Speaker 2: how proud I was of myself, how happy I was.
Speaker 2: I started a different wardrobe, and I gave myself a
Speaker 2: little time, and then I fell back into the rot.
Speaker 2: That's why I was in a diamond my whole life. Well,
Speaker 2: right now you're talking to someone for the last three
Speaker 2: and one quarter years has not gained weight because I'm diligent.
Speaker 2: I have made up my mind I will not allow
Speaker 2: myself to grow. And I stay with it and stick
Speaker 2: to it, and let me tell you what I do
Speaker 2: I'm very careful what I eat. I said it earlier.
Speaker 2: There's no one in this country that doesn't know that
Speaker 2: fish chicken, no oils or few oils. Vegetables grilled or steamed,
Speaker 2: not sauteined, potatoes franchise, no pizza, no cake, no ice cream,
Speaker 2: no and on and on and on, and I do it.
Speaker 2: And then there are some people on the weekend, Saturday
Speaker 2: and Sunday just do whatever they want, or in my case,
Speaker 2: I allow myself some treats sometimes during the week. And
Speaker 2: what I do is I weigh myself every day, and
Speaker 2: I allow myself a two pound window. If I gained
Speaker 2: two pounds being having pasta or having pizza or having cake.
Speaker 2: The minute I hear two pounds, I'm back to being
Speaker 2: a Navy seal boom back on it. Weigh myself every
Speaker 2: day and I hold that weight, and I'm telling you,
Speaker 2: holding that weight is harder than losing it. But let
Speaker 2: me tell you what it's done for me. I feel better,
Speaker 2: I feel stronger, I feel more excited. I look in
Speaker 2: myself in the mirror every single day and I feel
Speaker 2: a sense of accomplishment. I feel that I've really done
Speaker 2: something to improve myself. I like the way I look.
Speaker 2: I like my new wardrobe. I like this Mark Weber.
Speaker 2: And the bottom line, any one of you out there
Speaker 2: can cure your obesity. There are some I know that
Speaker 2: I've glandular problems and on and on, but the bulk
Speaker 2: of this country would be healthy and healthy earth. They
Speaker 2: lost the excess weight they're carrying around. Anybody wants to
Speaker 2: understand going to your local hardware store it's coming to
Speaker 2: be winter. To pick up a ten pound bag of
Speaker 2: salt for the winter. You will not believe how much
Speaker 2: a ten pound bag of salt feels like. And then
Speaker 2: think about pasting that around your hips. Let own twenty
Speaker 2: pounds in my case fifty seven. And you know what
Speaker 2: the funny thing with me, if you saw me, you
Speaker 2: wouldn't think of me as fat because I carried the weight. Well,
Speaker 2: it was the proportion well, but I was fat at
Speaker 2: a forty two inch waist at one point. Now my
Speaker 2: waist is thirty four. So listen, we're talking about a
Speaker 2: new chance, a new beginning, a new government. Robert F.
Speaker 2: Kennedy's coming in. He's going to talk about how you
Speaker 2: could be your own judge, you could be your own critic,
Speaker 2: you could do something about your life, because one of
Speaker 2: the biggest problems in this country is obesity. And I'm
Speaker 2: sure there are better ways to do what I said.
Speaker 2: I'm not an expert. There are professionals who can help you,
Speaker 2: but I can tell you if you have the discipline,
Speaker 2: you can do what I did. And then once you do,
Speaker 2: or once you see you're making progress, don't give up.
Speaker 2: Because nothing tastes as good as skinny. And that's common sense,
Speaker 2: and I know common sense is not so common in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, back in a minute.
Speaker 5: Always in Fashion.
Speaker 2: Spent a lifetime of my career building the van Usen brand,
Speaker 2: and I am so pleased that they're back with us
Speaker 2: now talking about suits. Men were dressing up again and
Speaker 2: it's become cool to wear a suit. Suits can be

Speaker 2: a suit formally to go out at night or to

Speaker 2: suits are being worn with turtlenecks or mark next. The
Speaker 2: choices are endless, and every one of them looks right.

Speaker 2: make men look their best. Venues and invented a new idea.

Speaker 2: were powerful in their workplace, women who had lives that
Speaker 2: extended beyond the workplace, and her clothes went from day
Speaker 2: and to night. An extraordinary collection. But the interesting thing
Speaker 2: Donna Karen had a young daughter, and she had friends
Speaker 2: and they couldn't afford to buy the Donna Aaron collection,
Speaker 2: and Donna invented DK NY Donna Aaron New York. It's
Speaker 2: an offshoot of the Donna Karen collection. The same concept

Speaker 1: Welcome back to us always in Fashion. Here's your host,
Speaker 1: Mark Webber.
Speaker 2: I suppose this is our election night show I'm excited
Speaker 2: about the country starting all over. I'm excited, you know,
Speaker 2: even if I believed where the Democrats were, which I don't.
Speaker 2: I agree with them on some social issues, but by
Speaker 2: and large I'm a Republican. Right now, They've given me
Speaker 2: no choice. The Republicans are the one with the common sense,
Speaker 2: and I find the common sense is not so common
Speaker 2: and it doesn't seem to me that Democrats have any
Speaker 2: lake to stand on right now. They could be angry
Speaker 2: they lost, They could be brutal they lost. There's a
Speaker 2: reason they lost. Donald Trump was a candidate for change,
Speaker 2: and the country wanted change. They wanted to change away
Speaker 2: from a lot of the policies that the Democrats are stifelish,
Speaker 2: and Biden and company just didn't deliver the way the
Speaker 2: American people wanted to be delivered. Open borders, inflation, prices rising, disappointment.
Speaker 2: This is a time for change and it's a wonderful time.
Speaker 2: And all I want to say tonight on the election, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm happy the Republicans won for the reasons I just mentioned.
Speaker 2: I believe that they have a better view on where
Speaker 2: the country should be. But that aside. What tonight's message
Speaker 2: is It's time for us to all suck it up
Speaker 2: and agree to agree. Jesse was here early and he
Speaker 2: said it right. Those things that are easy to agree on,
Speaker 2: that are common sense, let's agree on. Now. You want
Speaker 2: to argue about abortion, that is okay, because you know
Speaker 2: I agree with you. So those you want to hate
Speaker 2: me for liking Trump right now to tay when it
Speaker 2: comes to abortion. I want women to choose. Doesn't mean
Speaker 2: I like the idea of abortion, but I try and
Speaker 2: look aside and say it's a woman's choice. So there's
Speaker 2: common sense afoot here. And that's really what I'm thinking about.
Speaker 2: And all I want to do in the terms the government,
Speaker 2: and please all of you had disappointed, give it a chance,
Speaker 2: be open minded, watch what goes on. Don't put up roadblocks,
Speaker 2: don't accuse the president of the Republicans of anything other
Speaker 2: than trying to do the right thing until they're not.
Speaker 2: You don't have to agree with everything. Let's see them
Speaker 2: fix up problems, Let's see them stop the wars. And
Speaker 2: that's why I'm talking about this tonight. When not a
Speaker 2: political show anyway, what do I want to talk about now?
Speaker 2: Being the name of the show is always in fashion.
Speaker 2: I have a fashion question. Jesse is really busy. He's
Speaker 2: executive prouser of a show called Prime Crime. He does
Speaker 2: a podcast called Sidebar that gets ten to fifteen million
Speaker 2: views a month. It's crazy. So anyway, he had to leave.
Speaker 2: Even though it's late, he had to leave. He's going on.
Speaker 2: He's the legal analyst for News Nations, so you never
Speaker 2: know when they call him. News Nation is twenty four
Speaker 2: hours a day. What never? That asked this question of Jesse.
Speaker 2: But I'm going to ask it of you. The retail
Speaker 2: business is tanking. At the moment, it was great. It's
Speaker 2: not doing well right now. You want to know whether
Speaker 2: retail business is bad right now? Well, you could say
Speaker 2: we don't have as much disposable income to buy stuff.
Speaker 2: You could say fashion isn't exciting, nobody's buying. You could
Speaker 2: say that everybody's preoccupied with the election. I would tell
Speaker 2: you any of those things are possible. That's what's happening.
Speaker 2: What's happening. Some might say climate change, And what does
Speaker 2: climate change have to do with a retail economy, particularly
Speaker 2: in luxury retail and fashion? Ready for the answer. No
Speaker 2: one's buying cloats, No one's buying gloves, No one's buying
Speaker 2: winter boots. No one's buying any of those things that
Speaker 2: they refer to as seasonal products. Everybody's waiting and the
Speaker 2: business is killing everything. Now, if climate change is the
Speaker 2: reason for this beautiful weather in October November, huh, can't
Speaker 2: we just I have climate change up to here. It
Speaker 2: doesn't work that way. I live on the water. I'm
Speaker 2: scared of climate change. But I got to tell you,
Speaker 2: I'm enjoying the weather. But back to retail, it's affecting everything.
Speaker 2: I'm sure stores are cutting back on payroll, taking people
Speaker 2: to work less hours, getting paid less. But the good
Speaker 2: news is, in the next few weeks, this inventory has
Speaker 2: to be sold. And what does that mean? Everyone is
Speaker 2: going to give sales and discounts on these products. It's
Speaker 2: not good for the manufacturer, it's not necessarily good for
Speaker 2: the retailer, but it's good for the consumer. The other
Speaker 2: thing is I needed a plumber. I'll tell you, I've
Speaker 2: talked about this all the time. Now, if I knew
Speaker 2: what I knew now, I might be a plumber or electrician. Boy,
Speaker 2: oh boy, when those people are needed, you do anything.
Speaker 2: I got to quote your price. It doesn't matter what
Speaker 2: the price is you're gonna pay it. You are desperate,
Speaker 2: but you have a notice. You get priced based on
Speaker 2: where you live. I can tell you literally that the
Speaker 2: work I've had done in my house for emergencies, which
Speaker 2: are not really emergencies, I suppose could bankrupt anybody. It's
Speaker 2: so expensive it's crazy. I often wonder whether or not
Speaker 2: if I was living at my old house, it would
Speaker 2: be half the price. I really believe that's the case.
Speaker 2: The other thing I thought about is one of my
Speaker 2: first watches was a Cassio watch. I've been looking. Cassio
Speaker 2: has gotten very adventuresome, and the kinds of watches they're
Speaker 2: making very out there. I, for one, always love Cassio.
Speaker 2: There's something very manly about a Cassio. In fact, let
Speaker 2: me tell you where I saw my first Cassio watch.
Speaker 2: Because we were building factories with my other company in
Speaker 2: these countries we were visiting. In Asia, we had access
Speaker 2: to the top echelons in government because of a big company,
Speaker 2: and not only were we buying products that we were
Speaker 2: building factories. And on one of the tours we got
Speaker 2: as VIPs. They took us into one of their Air
Speaker 2: Force bass and they introduced to one of the head
Speaker 2: pilots who flies F sixteen's, And he gave us a
Speaker 2: tour of the facility, and then he took us up
Speaker 2: the steps of his personal FC six and started showing
Speaker 2: us all the controls. And I'll never forget he was
Speaker 2: wearing a cassio and his hands looked like surgeon's hands.
Speaker 2: They were big, they were veined. He'd looked like such
Speaker 2: a macho guy. Was brilliant, he was smart, and he
Speaker 2: was showing us how the plane works. And I remember
Speaker 2: asking about his watch. It was the first time I
Speaker 2: found out what a G shock was, and I went
Speaker 2: home and I bought that same G shock and I'd
Speaker 2: loved it. Fast forward all these years, I became a
Speaker 2: Rolics guy, And when I look at Irolics, I never forget.
Speaker 2: Every time I look at it, I think about G
Speaker 2: Shock And you know what, they both do the same thing.
Speaker 2: One cost two hundred dollars and one cost twelve thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: It makes me wonder about things that become generic and
Speaker 2: important to Americans. Do you ever think about generic names.
Speaker 2: There was a time that if you wore khaki pants,
Speaker 2: they were called dockers. People walk into a stone, say
Speaker 2: I need Dockers, not khakis. That became the generic name tissues.
Speaker 2: I need a Kleenex generic. Can you imagine the power
Speaker 2: of brand Coca Cola. Coke became the name for Cola,
Speaker 2: even though Pepsi is my favorite. I think these names,
Speaker 2: these brands have become so powerful. They're amazing, and I
Speaker 2: am excited that I could recognize this, and I think
Speaker 2: about how important it is to build brands. On a
Speaker 2: night we're talking fashion, I just talked to you a
Speaker 2: little bit out of retail. The most generic name right
Speaker 2: now for fight fight Fight is Trump. That's how I'm
Speaker 2: ending the show. I beg you, I ask you to
Speaker 2: give this administration a chance. Let's come together, America. Use
Speaker 2: your brands, use your common sense, because I know common
Speaker 2: sense is not so common. Good Night,
