19
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 3: literally threw up. I've never thrown up, and somebody's that's

20
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: just my blood was boiling.

21
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: You threw up?

22
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I literally threw up. Yeah, my blood was boiling.

23
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 3: After I've watched the interview live.

24
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: I hope you didn't have I hope you didn't have

25
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: any guests in the house.

26
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 3: No, No, I did not have. So do you it happened? Yes?

27
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: Right? Do you have many guests in the house?

28
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 3: Uh?

29
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 2: No.

30
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 3: The house is separate, so it's a separate The apartment

31
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 3: is separate. So I don't just keep customers. So I

32
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 3: guess that is completely separate, but.

33
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 1: On the same same property, but different the.

34
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 3: Same property, but not inside the same house. You know,

35
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 3: I host people, they have they have their own rooms,

36
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 3: their own kitchen, their own bassroom, and everything else. I

37
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 3: don't engage with the customers, Mario.

38
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: I think you should probably be able to do what

39
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: you want with your own property, whether you want people

40
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: to stay there or not. But we did ask a

41
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: lawyer today and they said, you can't discriminate based on

42
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: someone's political opinion.

43
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: So what do you think about that?

44
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 3: Yeah? I thought that so before I sent boss the emails,

45
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 3: I mean, I canceled two coasts is to to a

46
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 3: US guests, and I sent the email to the to

47
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 3: the booking company. When I sent it to the to

48
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 3: the to the traveler. Into the emails were intercepted because

49
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 3: of the language, because of what I said about Trump.

50
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: Obviously that was picked up on on on some sort

51
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 3: of system. What you say we're reviewed, I mean, I

52
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 3: think the email is published. I think the m is published.

53
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 3: I basically just said I can read it to you

54
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 3: if you like.

55
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: But well, not the whole.

56
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: Thing, but the juicy bit, the juicy bits.

57
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 3: Mario, Well, what was what was published in the paper today? Basically?

58
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 3: You know, I don't agree. You know, I said the

59
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 3: US is turning to to fascism and and and I

60
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: don't agree with that.

61
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: I don't agree with I can see why I'm for

62
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: a B and B booking website. The word fascism might

63
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: might be a little complicated or loaded. So anyway, so

64
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: you've said to these guests they can't come, and and

65
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: it's only if they're Republicans, and you're standing by this,

66
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: you're not worried about the consequences matter.

67
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: I will cancel all all Americans from now. And I

68
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 3: only just gave them the options because these two people

69
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 3: are canceled, were already booked, but who else is now booking?

70
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 3: I will just tell them they can't book I carry

71
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 3: on doing that. Even Democrats now, well, yes, I can't
