Good evening. I have to start by saying 14 00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.399 something that I read. A fool is known by his speech, 15 00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:52.000 a wise man by his silence. This is what's been 16 00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:55.079 on my mind this week. I'm trying to be silent. 17 00:00:55.439 --> 00:01:00.119 I'm trying real hard to be silent. There is so 18 00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:04.280 much stupidity in our country right now, and yet it 19 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:09.359 should have been a better times. But there's travesty in California, 20 00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:13.480 and that's wreaking havoc with everyone. It's sadly funny and 21 00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:16.400 it's plain to see that fools known by the speech, 22 00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:19.519 wise men by the silence. For whatever reason, this year 23 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.480 to date, I'm drawn to quiet. I've noticed people, the 24 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:27.120 most prominent to the least well known, just don't know 25 00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.799 when to say it nicely. Steak silent from Biden rooting 26 00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:33.560 the Trump transition and insisting he would have won the 27 00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:38.840 election to Gavin Newsom. Great smile, great looking guy, poised, 28 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:41.840 but everything that comes out of his mouth seems to 29 00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:46.239 be nonsense. He's so well spoken that everything he does 30 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:50.400 is bad. His policies finally are under attack, and his 31 00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.319 closest advocates are starting to wonder what are they doing 32 00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:59.040 there because of the fire words excuses. Please be quiet, 33 00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:03.879 Golden my favorite President Donald Trump. Right now, if I 34 00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:07.359 could whisper in his ear, I'd love to tell him 35 00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:11.120 wise man is silent. Mister President, You're about to start 36 00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:14.879 negotiations for the future of America, frankly, the future of 37 00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:18.159 the world. Everything as you know in this world is 38 00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:21.439 a negotiation. Can I advise you to let the fools talk? 39 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.240 They're obvious fools. You let Biden talk and he was out. 40 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:30.639 You'll let Kamala talk and she lost. Please consider toning 41 00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:34.639 it down. I love the Greenland idea, I love Canada 42 00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.879 joining the United States. I love the Gulf of America. 43 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:41.960 But it's all in negotiation, and you're the best, Frankly, 44 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:45.000 Chapter seventeen in my book. As you know, mister president, 45 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.240 always in fashion is negotiating with the master, and you 46 00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:50.840 with the master. You have your own chapter and when 47 00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:54.159 he did it long before you were being considered for 48 00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:57.080 president in two thousand and five, and it was chronicled 49 00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:01.000 in twenty fifteen before you announced that you were going 50 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:04.919 to take office. You can notion negotiate and win. Tone 51 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.759 it down, mister president. Hey, I have to say this 52 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.360 to all of us. The minute we were born, we 53 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:13.240 were crying for our milk. Our position was feed me 54 00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:15.840 or I refuse to be quiet? Could it be that's 55 00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:19.199 the smartest moment in our lives, knowing how to apply pressure, 56 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:22.400 how to negotiate, when to talk and when to be silent, 57 00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:24.919 when to talk, when to listen. It seems we all 58 00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:28.800 struggle with this throughout our lives. It's so hard trying 59 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.520 to be silent. In my personal life. I've noticed I've 60 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:36.199 been quieter this year, yet here on the radio, I 61 00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:39.759 have no choice. On podcasts, I have to speak, and speak, 62 00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:43.000 I will perhaps softer, let the words have more meaning. 63 00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.599 I try not to be a fool talking. And once 64 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:50.520 again I quote Benjamin Franklin, my favorite business quote, well 65 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.479 done is better than well said. I'm not interested in 66 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:55.599 what you say will do. I'm interested only in that 67 00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:59.520 which you do and get done. Please, mister President, don't 68 00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.680 let fools trap you into being a fool. It's a 69 00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:06.919 week of could have, should have and would haves in life, 70 00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:11.159 Miss the President. I love the Golden Age of America. 71 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:15.960 Now I must have my lawyer, my co host, my 72 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:17.439 son Jesse Weber. 73 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.279 Hey, what's going on? Good to be here. I tell 74 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:23.040 you a very important lesson in listening, right. 75 00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:25.680 Yeah, oh my god. You know where would you be 76 00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:27.480 if you haven't had my lessons? 77 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:36.720 Happier Listen, listen, Listening to your business advice has been 78 00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:40.839 incredibly valuable. And you have been through a lot. You 79 00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:43.000 have been through it all. But I will tell you 80 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:47.240 you know, my profession is particularly interviewing on TV. Time 81 00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:49.120 is precious, so you got to make sure your guests 82 00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:51.480 answer the questions in a timely basis. You have to 83 00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.319 hear what they're saying, you know, do follow up questions, 84 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:56.920 just don't let them talk. So, you know, listening is 85 00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.160 an incredibly it's an incredible skill. It's a skill not 86 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:01.839 everybody has it. You have to be thinking about that. 87 00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:03.800 You have to know when to cut people off, ask 88 00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:06.879 the next question, follow up. So two guests talking over 89 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:09.800 each other can be very dramatic, but most times you 90 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.439 have to shut it down. It's interesting and podcasts are very, 91 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.639 very different, different thing because that is all unless there's 92 00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.680 a video podcast, it's all audio. You have to engage 93 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:21.160 people through the sound of your voice primarily, so you're 94 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:23.759 not rushed for time. With podcasts, you have a little 95 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.240 bit more time to let things marinate and you know, 96 00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:30.279 have more smart, intelligent answers or conversations. Hopefully the guest delivers. 97 00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:33.040 But the key is interviewing or the law. You never 98 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.040 ask a question you don't know the answer to. So 99 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:38.639 if the guest is off for running or boring, or 100 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:41.399 maybe saying something incorrectly, you got to step in and 101 00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:43.600 correct the situation. You got to give him an example 102 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:44.160 of what together. 103 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:47.199 Fools like to talk too much, there's no question about it. 104 00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.720 And wise men, as I'm saying tonight, i'd like to 105 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:53.439 be silent well, coming up on the inauguration, I guess 106 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:55.319 I have to ask before we go, though, what's with 107 00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:57.519 this Jack Smith? What did he do to the president? 108 00:05:57.560 --> 00:05:59.040 What did he what's the point? 109 00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.120 Well, look, he was the one who was prosecuting Donald 110 00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:07.240 Trump before Donald Trump became the president elect. He announced 111 00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:10.199 after the president, after Donald Trump won the election, that 112 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.360 he was going to be dismissing the case and he 113 00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:13.959 was going to be stepping aside and he was going 114 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:17.879 to be leaving, but not unexpectedly. I didn't think he 115 00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.319 was not going to do this. He released a report 116 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:24.600 about the investigation about the case, and he wanted to 117 00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:26.199 put it on the record about what they had and 118 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.879 what they found, and the basic conclusion was it wasn't 119 00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:31.839 anything new that we didn't know. But he basically said 120 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.040 he was very confident that Donald Trump would have been 121 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:38.199 convicted at a trial with respect to interfering in the election, 122 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.959 the twenty twenty election or election interference crimes if it 123 00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:44.160 went to trial. And the only reason he dismissed it 124 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:47.439 is because under the law, you can't prosecute a sitting president. 125 00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.439 So that's why it was dismissed, not on substantive grounds, 126 00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:52.399 not on the evidence, but because he had no choice 127 00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:53.800 but to throw it up in his state, and. 128 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:55.600 He couldn't just shut his mouth and walk away. 129 00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.480 He believes Donald Trump committed a series of crimes and 130 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:00.439 he wanted to put on the record that this is 131 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.120 what he did. And if you think about it, the 132 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:05.680 work that he and his team did, he didn't want 133 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:06.560 it to be for naught. 134 00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:10.040 I don't even want to hear this. I can't deal 135 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:12.199 with this. But I do have an important question for you. 136 00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:14.560 Have you listened at all to what Jimmy Kimmel has 137 00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:15.079 been saying. 138 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.279 Jimmy Kimmel used to be very funny, and then he's 139 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:22.800 gotten so political and this it's kind of hard to 140 00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:23.759 listen to him at times. 141 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.360 Yeah, look, I'm still a fan. I think he's a 142 00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:29.759 smart guy. I think he's very entertaining, and of all 143 00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:32.000 the late night hosts, I think he'd be my favorite. 144 00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:35.279 Of course, Jimmy Fallon. When he sings and does this thing, 145 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:38.040 it's very interesting. But I want to go there. I 146 00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:40.279 was listening to him the other night and I want 147 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:42.600 to I have a transcript of what he said, and 148 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:44.399 I have a question I have to ask you. This 149 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:47.240 is Jimmy Kimmel tonight, I don't want to get into 150 00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:51.480 all the vile and irresponsible and stupid things are future 151 00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:55.759 president and his gaggle of scumbaggs choose to say during 152 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.439 our darkest and most terrifying hour. And then he added 153 00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:02.639 the fact he chose to attack our firefighters who are 154 00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:05.600 out there risking their lives on our behalf. It's disgusting, 155 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:08.519 but not surprising. Instead, I want to focus on thanking 156 00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:10.519 these men and women, because that's what we all should 157 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.639 be doing now. First of all, Donald Trump didn't attack 158 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:17.920 the firefighters. He's been very complimentary. He's very much against 159 00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.920 the politicians who are responsible, in his view, for the 160 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:22.839 fire getting out of control. But what I want to 161 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.319 know from you from the law, can anybody arrest Jimmy Kimmel. 162 00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:29.000 Does there any consequence for the way he's calling and 163 00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:31.600 talking about the president and calling him a scumbag and 164 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:32.000 all of. 165 00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.120 That in this country, in this country or North Korea, 166 00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:37.919 if it's North Korea, you'd be jailed in a second. Look, 167 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.440 that's the beauty of our country. You're allowed to criticize anybody, 168 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:45.480 You're allowed, You're supposed to criticize our politicians, our leaders, 169 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.279 you're supposed to that's the point. You're supposed to hold 170 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:50.639 them accountable. No, he can't get in trouble for what 171 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:54.639 he says. Now, if he were to free speech is 172 00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:57.879 not unlimited right. He can't if he were to say, 173 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.960 if he were to say, look, Donald Trump just committed 174 00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:04.840 murder on Fifth Avenue, I have the evidence to prove it, 175 00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:07.639 and there's no evidence. That's called defamation. He could be 176 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.120 sued for defamation. He can't be legally charged with unless 177 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:14.440 he filed a false report. People have freedom to say 178 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:16.200 what they want to say. They can't yell fire, he 179 00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:17.399 said Donald Trump. 180 00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:19.879 If he said Donald Trump should be killed though, somebody 181 00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:20.679 should shoot. 182 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.240 Him, well, that's where you get into murky territory, because 183 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:27.960 if he's advocating for violence against somebody else and somebody 184 00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:30.440 commits it, you know, there's one there's a separation between 185 00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:33.679 free speech and opinion, and you're, you know, advocating for violence. 186 00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.159 That's where you could get yourself into a lot of trouble. Yes, 187 00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:39.120 that that's something he would avoid. But criticizing the president, 188 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:42.240 calling him names, he's totally free to do it. 189 00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:42.360 Now. 190 00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:45.399 There was an interesting conversation about whether or not Donald 191 00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:49.440 Trump would have the power to revoke broadcast licenses. Have 192 00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:51.039 you heard about this? So that he doesn't love what 193 00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:54.320 certain networks are doing under the law. The FCC is 194 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.279 supposed to be independent from the President of the United States, 195 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.120 and they've gone on record and say they always want 196 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:04.960 to adhere and uphold the First Amendment. There is talk 197 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.840 about whether or not Donald Trump would try to have 198 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.320 the authority to control the FCC and whether or not 199 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:13.720 he can mount the legal challenge. We'll see if that happens. 200 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:16.600 There is something that I thought was very interesting, and 201 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:20.639 that is the idea that there are certain provisions that 202 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.720 would suggest that in a time of emergency, let's say, 203 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:27.240 a war or national crisis. 204 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:29.320 Or buyers out of control. 205 00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:32.399 Could the president have the power to take control of 206 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:36.679 the airwaves. That's a little bit of an unprecedented issue. 207 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:40.440 There could be a legal argument for it. I'm not 208 00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:43.600 saying it would be successful, but I wonder whether or 209 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.240 not that is something that could be explored in the 210 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:48.080 future and what that emergency would be and whether or 211 00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.120 not the president has to do it. But generally speaking, 212 00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:52.919 he's just going to have to live with the people 213 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:55.279 criticizing him and comedians criticizing him. 214 00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:58.679 Well, I figured you'd say that. I figured i'd ask anyway, 215 00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.679 I didn't Madonna get arrested or the FBI came to 216 00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:04.559 see you one time she was talking badly about Was 217 00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:05.559 it Trump? 218 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:08.399 I don't know Madonna. I haven't thought about Madonna in 219 00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:09.840 a long time. I don't know. 220 00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.919 I think so all right. Anyway, I'm not advocating for 221 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:17.519 him to be arrested. I'm not advocating I will. 222 00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:20.120 I will say Jimmy Kimmel, aside from when he gets 223 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:22.759 doesn't get to the politics. I think he's a great interviewer. 224 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:25.000 I think he's very funny, but man, when he gets 225 00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:27.399 into kind of politics, I know people love it. But 226 00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:30.960 I always thought, I always thought, wouldn't you agree that 227 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:32.840 if you're in the media and you see actors do 228 00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:35.519 this too, wouldn't you want to have the best, most 229 00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:39.320 broad audience possible and not try to say things that 230 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:42.600 would just alienate a whole section of the public. That's 231 00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:45.399 why you see like a do you even know whether 232 00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:47.639 Tom Cruise voted? Do you even know if Tom Cruise 233 00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:50.000 is a Republican or a Democrat or whatever. No, he 234 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:52.279 just makes movies and everybody sees them right on the left. 235 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:55.240 That's don't you want that? If you're an entertainment. 236 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:58.200 Well, I would think with the results of the current election, 237 00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:01.039 why why is this bothering me? We have a new president. 238 00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:04.240 Seventy seven million people voted for him. There is a 239 00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:07.559 lot of enthusiasm in this country right now. A lot 240 00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.679 of good things are happening right now. There is overnight 241 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.080 it looks like Israel and Hamas are going to come 242 00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:17.639 to terms overnight. There are new people looking at the 243 00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:22.399 way this fire is going overnight, this conversation's about stopping 244 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:25.559 illegal immigration. All these things are happening, and the president 245 00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:28.200 has any come in. It bothers me the way people 246 00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:32.960 are starting up again and talking so disrespectfully for the president. 247 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:35.600 My view is no matter who the president ever was, 248 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:38.000 you would never know. I didn't like them. I thought 249 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:41.879 Biden's policies were horrendous. Obama to this day is my 250 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:44.399 favorite president, but I don't think he did things that 251 00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:48.039 were necessarily good for the country, let alone unite the country. 252 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:51.360 But he was my favorite. I would never say bad 253 00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:55.519 words about him. And the the lack of disrespect here 254 00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:57.840 going on. When I heard Jimmy Kimmel do it I 255 00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:00.279 only got my backup and of of course out in 256 00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:03.360 favor of censory. But I wouldn't have a problem if 257 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:05.879 Donald Trump went to CBS and said, look, you have 258 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:08.000 a choice here. If you're going to continue to run, 259 00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:12.240 you're going to have a very poor reputation or access 260 00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:14.919 to this network with me, And I want you to 261 00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:17.480 know that. Either tell him to behave and apologize for 262 00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:19.799 the way he talks. If he wants to criticize me, 263 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:22.639 that's one thing, but to call me vile, to call 264 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:26.039 the people I'm bringing to this government scumbags? Who the 265 00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:28.720 hell is he to talk that way on national television. 266 00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:31.159 So with that in mind, I'll get off this subject 267 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:33.360 and get onto the fire. I do want to talk 268 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.200 about California, anything you want to say about it. 269 00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:39.320 It's like a horror scene. I can't believe what is 270 00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:43.720 going on, and it's shocking. It came out of nowhere 271 00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.039 and how quickly the fire spread. And I know there's 272 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:49.840 a whole conversation about what caused it, who's to blame. 273 00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:53.360 Those are fair questions, but I think the immediate thing 274 00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:55.200 you have to be thinking about is how to prevent 275 00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:58.200 loss of life and prevent the loss of further destruction 276 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:01.279 because so many people's lives have been devastated. It is 277 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:03.960 shocking to see what has happened. I don't know how 278 00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:06.720 you rebuild two things. I don't know how you rebuild LA. 279 00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:09.399 And if you live in La, do you stay in La? 280 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:11.399 Do would you ever risk this happening again? 281 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:14.639 Well, that's where Trump and the team comes in. What 282 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:19.080 you know, history repeats itself, and from my point of view, 283 00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:22.519 I remember reading back in the day. If it was 284 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.320 at the time that everyone was emulating the Japanese economy, 285 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:29.440 how brilliant they were, and how they dealt with people, 286 00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:33.200 and their strategy was they don't have fixed blame. They 287 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:36.879 fix problems. And we have a lot of problems right 288 00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:42.039 now in California. And there is an answer a question. 289 00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:44.919 There's a lot of blame to go around. It's a 290 00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:48.159 force masure, it's an act of God. Nobody could stop it. 291 00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:50.960 I hope we don't find out anyone started this fire, 292 00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:54.840 but even if they did, there should be mechanisms in 293 00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.679 place to correct it. And I think that's what we're 294 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:00.720 up to and that's what I want to talk about. 295 00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:03.600 I want to talk about the California fires. It's time 296 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:08.759 I'll be back in a minute. Always spent a lifetime 297 00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:12.279 of my career building the van Usen brand, and I 298 00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:15.559 am so pleased that they're back with us now. Talking 299 00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:20.240 about suits, men were dressing up again and it's become 300 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:22.840 cool to wear a suit.

You could wear a suit 302 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:28.720 formally to go out at night or to an event. 303 00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:31.000 You wear a suit to the office with or without 304 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:34.759 a tie. If you look closely, now fashion trends, suits 305 00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:38.679 are being worn with turtlenecks or mark next. The choices 306 00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:42.960 are endless and every one of them looks right. You 307 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:46.919 could really really look the part. I believe that packaging 308 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:49.879 yourself is as important does the products you package, and 309 00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:52.200 wearing a suit is one of those things that make 310 00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:56.519 men look their best.

Here's your host, 365 00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:15.079 Mark Webber. 366 00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:19.079 Thank you for being here tonight. I try and avoid 367 00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:23.759 nasty subjects, but I am, like all Americans, devastated by 368 00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:27.119 what's happened and what continues to be going on in California. 369 00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:30.599 It is an act of God. Legal terms is called 370 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:35.480 force majeure. You can't legislate what God has in mind 371 00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:38.160 for us here and whatever is going on with this fire. 372 00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:40.640 I hope it's not arson, but even if it was, 373 00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:46.000 what's happened is inexplicable. There are answers that have to 374 00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:50.279 be found. They say, history repeats and therefore we need 375 00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:54.599 to know why this is happening and frankly, speaking from history, 376 00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:58.519 we know that it does, and there's been pretty widespread 377 00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:03.319 understanding of what should be involved in fixing it. Jack Welsh, 378 00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.599 one of America's famous and most successful business people, was 379 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:10.599 known for saying, I planned for the worst and hope 380 00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:13.839 for the best. Where were the plans for the worst? 381 00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:19.119 In California? All that thought a little interesting. I spent 382 00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:22.559 in my career a lot of time in California. Actually, 383 00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:25.200 until I was in my thirties, I really never had 384 00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:28.200 been to California. I came up in my career. I 385 00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:31.400 had many different responsibilities, and at one point in time, 386 00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:36.359 I was the president of the shirt division at Venues 387 00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:41.160 and shirts, particularly dress shirts. With my expertise, and interesting 388 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:44.359 thing happened. The largest trade show in the world was 389 00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:49.119 called Magic for Men's Apparel. Eighty ninety thousand people would 390 00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:52.640 come to the show and it was generally considered the 391 00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:56.400 Magic the Men's Apparel Guild in California, But it was 392 00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:59.839 a sportswear show. It was to sell sportswear to people 393 00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:02.279 all around the country, on the West Coast in particular, 394 00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:04.640 who couldn't get to New York or the New England 395 00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:07.319 side or Dallas. They put on a show for them there, 396 00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:09.400 and everyone came and showed sports with her. But it 397 00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:12.319 grew and grew and grew, and one day my boss 398 00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:14.160 came to me and said, you are to represent the 399 00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:15.920 company and go there for dress shirts. I said, I 400 00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:18.279 thought that an interested in dress shirts. He said, well, 401 00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:21.480
