1
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So

2
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: Michael Arry Show is on the air. First it was

3
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: in ron Field, and then in two thousand and two

4
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: the Astros called Minute Made Park Home, which was nicknamed

5
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: the Juice Box, and now with Dyke In, the air

6
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: conditioning manufacturer, getting the naming rights, it will be called

7
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: the Ice Box, a deal that will begin in twenty

8
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: twenty five for the next fifteen seasons. The company opened

9
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: the Nike in Texas Technology Park in Waller in twenty sixteen.

10
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: Speaking of Waller, email from a fellow ZAR. My name

11
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: is Christopher Oldham, and I am the principal of Waller

12
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: High School, a six A high school with over three

13
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: thousand students located northwest of Houston, just past Cyprus Fairbanks.

14
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm also a United States Army veteran. I've been a

15
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: loyal listener of your program since its inception. I wanted

16
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: to take a moment to share something. I'm incredibly proud

17
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: of what my school is doing to honor veterans and

18
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: support our military community. While many public school districts receive

19
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: criticism for questionable decisions, I can confidently say that Waller

20
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: ISD and Waller High School in particular, prioritize honoring those

21
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: who have sacrificed for our country. Every year on Veterans Day,

22
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: we host a program unlike anything I've seen in any

23
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: other Texas school. Our event is a heartfelt celebration of

24
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: our veterans and it is a tradition we take great

25
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: pride in. This year, we partnered with Commanding General Michael

26
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: Shanley to create something truly special. I have included links

27
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: below to showcase our efforts. I'd love for you to

28
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: attend to our event next year if your schedule allows. It

29
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: would be an honor to host you and showcase the

30
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: ways we strive to teach our students the value of

31
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: service and sacrifice. Thank you for your wavering advocacy for

32
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: veterans and for making my daily drive home so much

33
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: more enjoyable. Best regards, Christopher Oldham, Principal, Water High School,

34
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: the United States Veterans cell Phone eight three, not pilot.

35
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: That makes me happy to hear, makes me very very

36
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: happy to hear Democrats in Pennsylvania are stealing the Senate seat.

37
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: By the way, we just had a Harris County District

38
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: Court judge seat flipped right here now, it flipped from

39
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: the Democrats winning on election day to Republicans winning after

40
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: the provisional ballots came in. You believe that, of course

41
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: you don't. You already know exactly what happened. We all

42
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: know thing about it is. It's like Sultan Eatsen's quote.

43
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: We know they cheated, they know, we know they cheated.

44
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: We know they know that we know they cheated, and

45
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: still they cheat. That's the important part. The seats are

46
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: so important that even though they have to do this

47
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: and be criticized and questioned and threatened, although really nobody

48
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: threatens them, they still do it because winning is everything.

49
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: Winning is everything. We are the gracious losers. Again. We

50
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: won a lot of the seats where we put a

51
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: candidate up in Harris County. Harris County is not lost.

52
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: People believe it is, and the Democrats want you to

53
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: believe it is. And by keeping Democrats in offices, they

54
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: had a Democrat county official who hadn't shown up to

55
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: the office in over three years, and Democrats still won

56
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: that seat. Of the seats they won, the majority of

57
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: those seats were seats that we didn't even have a

58
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: candidate in. And I'm going to tell you how that

59
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: happens because people keep asking me, here's how that happens.

60
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,679
Speaker 1: This is my suspicion. If you're a Republican elected official

61
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: or a Republican wanting to run for a seat, you

62
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: don't want to have a contested primary because you got

63
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: to win in March to get to face a Democrat

64
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: in November. So the Harris County Republican Party, my suspicion is,

65
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: here's from a lot of candidates and officeholders, and does

66
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: not go all out to recruit candidates. Because I've heard

67
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: every excuse for why we don't recruit candidates, and they're

68
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: laying the Democrats filled every seat when Republicans dominated the county,

69
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 1: and that's how they woke up one morning in twenty eighteen,

70
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: November twenty eighteen and Jaila, who is lennahd allgo? You

71
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: had to have a candidate on the ballot to pull

72
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: that off, right. You got to have a line in

73
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: the water to catch a fish. We have races where

74
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: we don't put anybody on there. I believe that is

75
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: I'll say at a minimum, it is because an insufficient

76
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: effort is made to get candidates. At a minimum, So

77
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: let me say this, what if instead of doing mailers

78
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: at election time. What if you did a mailer that says,

79
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: now's the time to sign up for office. Now, right

80
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: now is the time to sign up for office. We

81
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,679
Speaker 1: are looking for candidates. You know why that doesn't happen

82
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: because then you would have some Republican incumbents who would

83
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: have primary opponents, and you would have folks who want

84
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: to run a see, because you don't get to choose

85
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: exactly the right number of people. It's like people who

86
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: do artificial in seminad? What does that call? It? A term

87
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: for that? And so that that's why you see when

88
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: when he's sixty five and she's forty one and they

89
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: have four kids, well they fertilize six eggs, and four

90
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: out of the six took Because you can't just do one.

91
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: It's a pretty elaborate procedure. So since you can't get

92
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: it just right, you decide, all right, how many eggs

93
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna put in there, I mean, how many eggs

94
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna fertilize. And it's an inventory management system, right.

95
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: This is this is why United Airlines has revenue analysts

96
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: trying to figure out you want to maximize what you

97
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: get for each seat but you don't want any seat

98
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: to go vacant. Hotels restaurants, you want to maxim A

99
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: hotel wants to get the maximum amount of money they

100
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: can get for each room. But if a room goes

101
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: vacant one night, that's people who don't ed at the restaurant,

102
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: don't pay for the parking, and don't do all the rest.

103
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: So it's it's this constant balance of what to do.

104
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's an easy process, and I don't

105
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: want to be a party chairman. I wouldn't do it.

106
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: So I want to be very clear, but I do

107
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: want us to have the best results, and I believe

108
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: that we get the best results by people criticizing when

109
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: they see something they don't agree with. That's I hope

110
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: we can all agree with that, and if we can't,

111
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: then I'm still going to say what I'm gonna say.

112
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: I think the party should take out billboards, should do mailers,

113
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: should do radio ads instead of focusing the efforts only

114
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: on November when you got all, look think of all

115
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: the seats that wouldn't matter how much we spent money on.

116
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: We could not beat the Democrats because we didn't have

117
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: candidates and get your best candidates and fill every race,

118
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: and then we would have won more seats. Sound the

119
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: Warehouse announces if give them the stars sale including show only.

120
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: Sound Warehouse Bobby asks, you know what a hysterectomy is.

121
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: That's an operation where they take out the baby carriage

122
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: but leave the playpen. You know, we're talking about the

123
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: electric cars earlier. The fallout from the electric car debacle

124
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: will never be properly covered. But here is an interesting

125
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: little side note in all of this. And yes, I'm

126
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: doing the I Told you So dance because several years ago,

127
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: maybe five years ago, I had listeners tell me give

128
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: it up, it's all going to be electric five years,

129
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: give it up. You're holding on to that old fashion.

130
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: And I said, whoa, you're one of those people that

131
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: gets suckered by the promo, the hype. And I noticed

132
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: a lot of people the market's got and what they

133
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: were hoping was that the hype leads to other people

134
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: losing their minds and if enough hype could occur coupled

135
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: with governmental control of what you could buy. Right, Because

136
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, if the marketplace was

137
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: deciding we want internal combustion engines, there's no doubt about that.

138
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that now. I will say I

139
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: wrote in Chance McLean's Cybertruck, I find those things to

140
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: be hideous. They give me anxiety. I'm serious. I'm told

141
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: it's supposed to look like a spaceship. I don't find

142
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: spaceships to be warm and inviting. Tucker Carlson did a

143
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: whole episode on this, and I think it was really

144
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: well done, talking about how architecture as an art reflects

145
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: a mood, and it can drive a mood. You know,

146
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: you ever walked in somebody's house and it feels warm

147
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: and inviting, and you walk into somewhere else and it

148
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: feels cold or harsh. And he was talking about the

149
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: move toward the bullpen and the low dropped ceiling and

150
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: the harsh elements on the side. The materials that were

151
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: used were meant to convey that you don't matter, You're replaceable.

152
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: The individual is nothing. Nobody gets in office. You're seeing

153
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: that happening, right, That's the trend of big companies. Nobody

154
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: gets their own office, nobody gets their own space. You

155
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: jumble everybody out in the middle in a bullpen. You

156
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: don't personalize anything. There is no individual within the organization,

157
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: which is meant to convey that you can be replaced.

158
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: They'll tell you it's meant to convey teamwork, but it's not.

159
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: I couldn't work in a bullpen. I couldn't work. I can't.

160
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: When we built our studios out, Ramon laughed because you

161
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: got to get through three doors to get to my

162
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,599
Speaker 1: studio and it was all soundproofing. Well it was some

163
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: security too, but door door door, actually four doors. And

164
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: because I don't want while I'm talking to have to

165
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: hear some other noise. I don't know how people do it.

166
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: I see these sales pits. Good on them. If you

167
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: can do it, good for you. But back to the

168
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: electric car issue headline CNN Hurts CEO out following electric

169
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: car quote unquote horror show. Trouble and turmoil continue at

170
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: rental car company Hurts. The company, which announced in January

171
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: it was selling twenty thousand of the electric vehicles in

172
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: its fleet, or about a third of the evs it owned,

173
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 1: is now replacing the CEO who helped build up that fleet,

174
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: giving the company, giving it the company's fifth boss in

175
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: just four years. Think they might be having a problem there.

176
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: The company announced that Steven Cher, who came to the

177
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: company two years ago after nearly thirty years at Goldman Sachs,

178
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: is stepping down at the end of this month. He'll

179
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: be replaced by Gil West, former chief operating officer of

180
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: Delta Airlines and General Motors Cruise Unit. Oh, you got

181
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 1: back to somebody that understands how to deploy assets and

182
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: finance them and then sell them when you're done, and

183
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: handle keeping them clean and keeping them running, when before

184
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: you had a money guy who didn't have any understanding

185
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: of that. Imagine that in the most recent quarter, Hertz

186
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: took a two hundred and forty five million dollar hit

187
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: to its earnings due to a drop in value of

188
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: the electric vehicles it was selling. While the number of

189
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: evs bought by American consumers surged forty percent last year.

190
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: Remember that's a year year over year of a low

191
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: number to top one million for the first time, there

192
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: was less demand than some of the traditional automakers had

193
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: expected as they moved to offer EV's. As they moved

194
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: to offer evs, Tesla, the leader in US EV sales,

195
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: started a price war for EV's just over a year ago,

196
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: driving down the value of both new and used evs

197
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: such as those in Hurtz's fleet, and the drop in

198
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: prices hit Hurts's bottom line since it reduced the money

199
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: it could expect to get from reselling the vehicles. But

200
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: the problem for Hurts wasn't necessarily that the cars were

201
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: electric and consumers simply do not want to drive electric cars.

202
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: The problem was how Hertz handled the fleet in general.

203
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: According to industry analysts, the execution and marketing of EV's

204
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: by Hurtz was a horror show across the board. It's

205
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: a black eye they could not recover from. And there

206
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: you have it. I've got a list of the value

207
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: of Tesla compared to a number of other legacy brands. Now,

208
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: this value could evaporate overnight. I really understand that because

209
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: it's all stock market dependent. But it is a list

210
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: of all the companies which, when combined, add up to

211
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: less than the overall market value of Tesla. Let me

212
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: see if I can find it real quick. Oh, here

213
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: it is. All these companies combined do not add up

214
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: to the market value of Tesla. According to John Erlickman,

215
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: and I forget his story, but it seemed it seemed

216
00:15:55,240 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: to check out General Motors and Ford combined do not

217
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: add up to the market value of Tesla. Add to

218
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: General Motor and Ford. All these combined Mercedes, Benz, Toyota, Honda, Volvo, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Ferrari, BYD,

219
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: what's BYD? They might have been j They might have

220
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: been JYD, Junkyard, Dog, Aston, Martin, Kia, Rivian, Renault, Stilantis, Suzuki, BMW, Lucid, Polestar, Nissan,

221
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: gielen I, Subaru, Mazda, Nicola, Mitsubishi, Harley, Davidson, VinFast. It

222
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: amazes me how amateurs think that they know more than

223
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: what is proven and has been proven for a long

224
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: period of time. How many people college kiss this twenty

225
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: three twenty four year olds. When I found out AOC

226
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: drove a Tesla, that's all I needed to know. She

227
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: was mad at Elon Musk because she had bought Tesla.

228
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: What Elon did is he recognized there's only so much space,

229
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: there's only so much market share for an EV. Right,

230
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: there's people that will take the risk for an EV.

231
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 1: So what he did is from the lowest price EV

232
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 1: to the cyber truck, which is I rode with Chance

233
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: mclann and his It's amazing full service driving, full self driving.

234
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: It's incredible. But what he figured out was while people

235
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: are making these choices, I'm going to drive the price

236
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: down and these companies can't get their legs out, they

237
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: can't get their legs underneath it. So I'm going to

238
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: create a price war, and these companies are going to

239
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: run out of cash. And those companies are all going

240
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: out of business. Fisk, They're all going to go out

241
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: of business except for Elon, and the US automakers are

242
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: going to get out of the electric business, and he's

243
00:17:54,840 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: going to be what's left Colley milling Golly, when we

244
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: lonely see we Chansdento and we're high and did it.

245
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: Sein's been sufferin. We call it perseverance. So we begin

246
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: meg excuses when we black Wool, a ride sharing startup

247
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: that gained fan through TikTok, says they are hoping to

248
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: launch in Texas by the end of this year or

249
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: early twenty twenty five. This is a ride share service

250
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: with armed drivers, hoping to launch in Dallas, Houston, and Austin.

251
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: The armed drivers are required to have at least four

252
00:18:55,560 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: years experience in the military, law enforcement, or other secure positions.

253
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: So what's going to happen. Well, first of all, if

254
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: you've ever traveled to a third world country, especially in

255
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: Africa and the Middle East, when you plan your trip,

256
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: they assign you an armed guard, You're assigned to bulletproof vehicles.

257
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: You travel around like you're a head of state, and

258
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm not a head of state. Because of the danger

259
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: in that community and their fear that something bad will

260
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: happen to you. That's now what we're doing in Dallas,

261
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: Houston and Austin. You know the fact that services like

262
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: this are coming about. This is what it looks like

263
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: to live in a third world country. What they don't

264
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 1: tell you in those fake dentist stories is how much

265
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: of that involves illegal immigration. See everybody, they've frightened people

266
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: with these attacks. Don't talk about making Texas Mexico. Don't

267
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: talk about making Texas Honduras or Guatemala or El Salvador.

268
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: Don't do that. That's racist. Then you go live in Honduras,

269
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: you go live in Guatemala. Oh that's not true, Michael.

270
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: I went down to Honduras, I had some of the

271
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 1: I had the best time I've ever had, best vacation

272
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: I've ever had. Really, and let me guess you went

273
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: to the Dominican Republican had the same. How'd you know?

274
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: Because you stayed on a little heavily fortified island. You

275
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: have no idea what life is like in there. Honduras

276
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: has this little I forget what it's called Rotan. Yeah, uh,

277
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: that is not Honduras. And then people come back. Yeah,

278
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: so we had a wonderful vacation. We decided to go

279
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 1: to Honduras. You did go to hon Duras. You went

280
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: to a little no man's land that is not Honduras.

281
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: You you go marching into Tegucigalpa without security, and you

282
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: stay there for a week and you come back. Tell

283
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: me what, Tell me how that went for you if

284
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: you survive. The company says they're looking to hire thirty

285
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: five to fifty drivers in each city. Drivers must have

286
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: spotless background checks and at least four years experience in

287
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: the military, law enforcement, or other security positions. So here's

288
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen, because this already happens with the police.

289
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: So black roll will start and there will be much

290
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: hubbub about it, and then some people will try it

291
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: out because it's kind of cool. That's pretty cool. You

292
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: got to you got a driver, he's got a gun, okay,

293
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: and he's gonna maybe they will maybe he will have

294
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: four years of experience in the military, which is very

295
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: different than four years experience in law enforcement. Just because

296
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: you served in Iraq or Afghanistan does not mean you

297
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: have the same training or experience of being a police officer.

298
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: In fact, part of the problem with the Iraq and

299
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: Afghanistan is that we sent warriors in to be police officers. Now,

300
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: some of those people have a training that a police

301
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: officer will never have. They've had to walk amongst the

302
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,959
Speaker 1: general public, any one of whom could kill them at

303
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: any time in a police function. See, this is the

304
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: whole problem with Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq is that we

305
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: train warriors for war and we put them into a

306
00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: police function. And that's awful. That is an untenable position.

307
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: But anyway, so you've got military veterans which are very

308
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: different than law enforcement. There's a lot of overlap, I understand.

309
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: And then your third one is or other security positions,

310
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: which tells you they're not going to be able to

311
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: get everybody they need out of military law enforcement depends

312
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: on how much it makes. But no matter what happens.

313
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: You're going to have some good guys that have a

314
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: unique skill set, and you're going to pay a premium

315
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: for this, and there will be people who'll try it out.

316
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: Like the first generation of EV buyers. There will be

317
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: people with money who'll try it out and they'll you know,

318
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 1: this is going to be cool, and they will go

319
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: out and they'll be coming out of a bar, which

320
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: was why they hired these people in the first place.

321
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: And there will be a thug who will come up

322
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: and start causing them problems. And rather than your traditional

323
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: uber or left driver, this driver will pop out because

324
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: he's ready. This is what he's trained for, and he

325
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: will pop out and tell that guy to back off,

326
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: and that guy will continue to advance, now probably on him,

327
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: and he will create a situation where there's a battle

328
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: for the gun and he'll either kill the driver or

329
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: more likely, the driver will kill him. And how do

330
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 1: you think that will be reported by the local and

331
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: national news? A black wolf driver has killed a man.

332
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: Dear God, let him not be black. Yes, he's killed

333
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: a black man. Oh man, they're doing it again. Slavery

334
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: all over, that's how this happens. You will not be

335
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: allowed to be free in this country from violence, because

336
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: you will not be allowed to protect yourself. You will

337
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: not be allowed to run your business without theft. Not

338
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: because you can't stop the theft. We could stop the theft,

339
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: because when you go to stop the theft or protect yourself,

340
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: those people creating the problem do not simply turn around

341
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: and walk away. They engage. And when they engage, you

342
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: got to engage. And so if you die, that's fine.

343
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: We don't mind that. Media doesn't mind you dying. It's

344
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: another story. We may not even cover that. But when

345
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: you kill them. Oh and by the way, this is

346
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: part of the Soros plan. That's where black lives matter

347
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: to ploys. That's where this whole group of activists ploys.

348
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: This is all part of a bigger plant capacity to

349
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: discussions Michael Berry's show The New Compact Desk bro It

350
00:25:51,359 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: simply works better. One of the great problems with having

351
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: a discussion today, and maybe this was always the case,

352
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: is that people internalize the discussion as a way to

353
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: tell you a story about them. Example, I get an

354
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: email from a fellow I heard you talking on the

355
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 1: radio today about most electric cars are priced above fifty

356
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: thousand dollars and are too expensive. This is incorrect. The

357
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 1: sticker price for a Chevy Bolt Evy is around thirty

358
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. I bought a used twenty twenty Chevy Bolt

359
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: recently and paid twenty three thousand for it. I heard

360
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: you talk on the radio today about most electric cars

361
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: are priced above fifty thousand dollars. But that's not true.

362
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: You say most are above fifty thous but I bought

363
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: one that wasn't under fifty thousand. That doesn't disprove my point.

364
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: Most Americans stand and walk with two legs. That's not true.

365
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: I saw this guy, he only had one leg. It's

366
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 1: not true. I have an experience. I live next door

367
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: to him. He was my Let me tell you my story.

368
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 1: He goes on to say, also, for a new Tesla

369
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: to qualify for the purchaser to get the seventy five

370
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: hundred dollars tax credit, the sales price of it must

371
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: be below fifty five thousand. So if Musk gets the

372
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: tax credit repealed, he can charge more for his Tesla

373
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: because the tax credit limitation on sales price would not apply.

374
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: That is true. Musk is engaged in strategic pricing and production.

375
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: Nobody else is when Chevy and Ford got into the

376
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: EV market, they got into something they knew nothing about.

377
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 1: They got into something where they had no brand equity.

378
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 1: Do you think anybody is thinking to themselves, Well, for

379
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: ten years, I've been thinking back getting one of them teslas,

380
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 1: you know, electric car and all I been thinking about it.

381
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: But what I'm gonna do, because I'm a Ford man,

382
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: is I'm gonna wait around till Ford's got an electric. No,

383
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: they didn't do that. What they did do is you

384
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: got your Ford truck guys, and you got your Chevy

385
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: Silverado guys. You got your f one fifty or two

386
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: fifty or three fifty, mostly f one fifty. You got

387
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: your f one fifty people, and you got your Silverado people.

388
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: And they're out there and that's what they do, and

389
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: they're consistent, and their daddy before them might have been

390
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: now this year when they go to the dealership because

391
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: they've had their truck a year two years, and a

392
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: lot of people that turned their trucks every two years,

393
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: especially guys that owned small business on their own businesses.

394
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: Then they went in and they said and the dealer said, hey,

395
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: I can work you a deal on that electric. And

396
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: they said what kind of deal because they're trying to

397
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: get rid of them, And they said, well, it was

398
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: what there it was ninety thousand dollars, and now I

399
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,479
Speaker 1: can do it. I'm making up numbers. You don't have

400
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: to correct me. Now I can do it for seventy

401
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: whatever the deal was. And they got in and the

402
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: first time you hit the accelerator on an electric car,

403
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: do not doubt me on this. It is a life

404
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: changing experience. You cannot imagine how it feels the first

405
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: time you hit the gas pedal. It's a rocket ship.

406
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: And what's weird about it? In fact, Tesla as a

407
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: brilliant move because some people like me grew up on

408
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: muscle cars. They were done making them. But my uncle

409
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: was a mechanic and when he would always have some

410
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: Barracuda or Camaro or something he was working on, and

411
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: he'd come pick me up and we'd go for a

412
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: ride in it. And you know, you got it. You

413
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: gotta feel that the rumble in your launch as this

414
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: thing goes right, and you gotta you gotta get that

415
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: that roar in the rumble. Ah, that's an American muscle car,

416
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: Vinny Tortorella, and and that well, that's the field. Well,

417
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: the electric car doesn't give you that. Now, for young

418
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: people that won't matter, but for me, they actually have

419
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: a setting where you can get the feeling like you're

420
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: driving an internal combustion engine, believe it or not, and

421
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: it'll give you the shake in the whole rumble, so

422
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: that you got that whole Yeah, it's crazy, it's absolutely crazy,

423
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: but they do. So anyway, you go in and they

424
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: knock a bunch off the price, which they'll hopefully sell

425
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: more of them because of it, but they're not making money.

426
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: Toyota announced, like two days after the election, Toyota announced

427
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: they were suspending electric car production for a period of time. Well,

428
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: how long do you think that period? You think you're

429
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: going to all of a sudden suspend production and you

430
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: know why because nobody's going to buy this year's year

431
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: end model when they know they got a new one coming.

432
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: So what Toyota was signaling the consumer market was, if

433
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: you want a Toyota electric, why would you you better

434
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: buy it now because they're going to run out supplies

435
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: limited act fast right because there won't be one for

436
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: a while. Do you think that if they were selling well,

437
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: they would say, hey, this scene's going so great, we're

438
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: gonna shut it down for a while. The entire ecosystem

439
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: political media got caught up in the electric vehicle nonsense.

440
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: And just like the election, the one group they left

441
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: behind was the consumer slash voter. They never had the

442
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: hearts and minds of the consumers. They kept talk, They

443
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: kept talking at the consumer, the industry, and the media,

444
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: and then they've got their influencers and they would say, yes,

445
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna be driving an electric car within ten minutes.

446
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: He has electric cars. And then you got all these

447
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: guys out here that actually the people that have to

448
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: actually buy them, not me. Let's do my file. I've

449
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: the last one I got. I know people that bought

450
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: classic vehicles during all this. A nineteen ninety Ford truck.

451
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: I know people now buying. Do you know what those

452
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: four trucks have gone for? My nephew, Kyle Hazelwood has

453
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: one and he likes it because he works on it

454
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: on his own. People are buying the last years of

455
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: the non diagnostic systems. They don't want anything that can

456
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: go wrong. They want cars, so they buy. It depends

457
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: on the automobiles. Some of them are late eighties, some

458
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: of them are into the nineties. They want vehicles without

459
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,959
