1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States

7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.

14
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,

15
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: border and families will be protected.

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 3: The stock market, especially the NASDAK, has had great had

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 3: a great January. Yes, last day Friday wasn't good, but

19
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: for the month of January it was insane. It was

20
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 3: on a great run. Do we expect February to continue

21
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 3: in this path?

22
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 4: They raised a basis points by quarter of one percent,

23
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 4: so that was the reason why I drugged down. They

24
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 4: seem to be lightening up on how much they were

25
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 4: going to raise rates, so it's not going to be

26
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 4: the aggressive six to seven percent that we thought maybe

27
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 4: three months ago. I'm kind of worried though, because like

28
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 4: the tech companies are going up like too rapidly, like

29
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 4: our rather a slow increase. I think February would be solid,

30
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 4: March will be pretty good, but I don't want companies

31
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 4: to over inflate, over hyper go up too fast, like

32
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 4: even metas damn the double.

33
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 5: Well you were talking about Facebook, so this day had

34
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 5: their biggest.

35
00:01:54,280 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 3: One day game ever. Ine, Yes, you were very barish

36
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 3: on Meta.

37
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: Still am and I was right in embarrassments.

38
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 5: So do you think that now it's.

39
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 3: On the rise. Yeah, it's on the rise. Yeah, So

40
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 3: what's your thoughts on Meta?

41
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 4: They finally start listening. They began to be a lot

42
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 4: more efficient. They're cutting out a lot of metal management.

43
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 4: Zuckerberg even said like it's fun now because the people

44
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 4: that it got laid off it was necessary and now

45
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 4: people that are there Meta like want to be there,

46
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 4: actually want to write code, want to make better products

47
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 4: than seeing some changes on Instagram. So I think they

48
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 4: aren't going to get back to that peak anytime soon,

49
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 4: but they're going in the right direction.

50
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean.

51
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 6: You said the products obviously reels. Yeah, we did great

52
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 6: for them in the court, Yes, did amazing. And there

53
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 6: is some talk that he might be cutting back on

54
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 6: at the amount of spending that he was going to

55
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 6: do into the space. And so when you're talking about

56
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 6: over fifty billion dollars being invested into the metaverse, scaling

57
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 6: that back, that's positive news, which is a bad investment.

58
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 6: And this is and if you go back, I think

59
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 6: to the end of twenty twenty one, we ask each other,

60
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 6: like what do you think is the most important stock.

61
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 2: I remember saying like, y'all, it's going to be Facebook.

62
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 6: And the reason not because of anything product that they're doing,

63
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 6: but the amount of money that he's spending on This

64
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 6: will really determine how the future of this company's going

65
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 6: to look, because if you put fifty billion dollars and

66
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 6: this doesn't work, how do you recover?

67
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 4: I mean, the peak was three eighty four thirty three.

68
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 4: It is at one eighty six fifty three. Nice growth,

69
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 4: but they at least need to get to two ten

70
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 4: and two fifty before I'm like super excited about the

71
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 4: upside of it.

72
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 5: So it was.

73
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 3: It was at eighty eight dollars in November and it's

74
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 3: had one hundred and eighty six dollars down, So I

75
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 3: want up one hundred dollars more than double in a

76
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 3: couple of months.

77
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, good trade, and shout out to those who got

78
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 4: on the call. Some people are up in stock club

79
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 4: as a result. So like short term, I'm still bullish.

80
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 4: Long term, I'm still bearish until I'll see like a

81
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 4: change and playing even on like the conference call, they

82
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 4: didn't mention the meta versus much as they did the

83
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 4: previous call very intentionally. Absolutely, can we say the meta

84
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 4: versus a failure.

85
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: For them?

86
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 4: Will it work for other companies? Yes, Apple VR headset

87
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 4: is coming out soon. They want to replace this with

88
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 4: the headset. Tim Cook is going to eat their lunch.

89
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: John.

90
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 4: Kudos to John Wren, marn Alvin, Mark Zuckerberg, everyone at

91
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 4: Menlo Park. If you're in Meta and I'm right, go

92
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 4: into your other YouTube account and put yes and chat.

93
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 4: These are all the conversations like they were spending like

94
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,559
Speaker 4: the three times I went, No, one's eating the food.

95
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 4: There's sixty thousand dollars worth of duck hunt feet or whatever.

96
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: Just sit. I'm like, this.

97
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 4: Wasteful spending was like insane. Now they're finally cutting back.

98
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 4: Not as many people in office. We have more people.

99
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 4: At one point they had no engineers working on building

100
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 4: new products for two years.

101
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: See Rasha would have fired everybody. Right, they're done.

102
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 4: So now that if they get back to a place

103
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 4: of actually being innovative, I think they can. They can

104
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 4: have a tremendous subside. But I need to see like

105
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 4: this consistent pattern of the fictional.

106
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 5: So people invest in in Meta now.

107
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 4: Or no, no, not if it doesn't get back to

108
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 4: one on two twenty three or like one on four.

109
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 4: There are other companies that you could have invested in

110
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 4: that will give you more safety. And it's crazy to say,

111
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 4: like in video is a safer move right now than

112
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 4: Meta is.

113
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 5: Well, you can go or you can go to ETF route.

114
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 2: Absolutely two tech two index, No stress.

115
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 4: Franklin Dina Tech fund is what he talked about investing,

116
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 4: Can everyone put it in chat?

117
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 2: Investment is not hard.

118
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 4: Just stick to the same blueprint, so vo O, v

119
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 4: t I, Apple, Arcosoft if you're trading maybe looking for

120
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 4: maximum but they've had an amazing quarter for sure. But

121
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 4: if you look from three eighty four down to eighty bucks,

122
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 4: that's a hell of a fall.

123
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

124
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the tough and that's the benefit of diversification, right,

125
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 3: So index funds, but even the ETF which is more

126
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 3: specific if you have you know.

127
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 5: The qqqs of the world.

128
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, or even on mutual fund like you said, franking

129
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 3: Dona take fund where all right, if Facebook does well,

130
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 3: your benefit, But you're not putting all your eggs in one,

131
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 3: so now you get the full spectrum of all of

132
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 3: the different players on the team as opposed to just

133
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 3: you know, trying to ride it.

134
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 2: Out with one.

135
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 3: Investing in one stock is usually not a good idea, no,

136
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 3: and some people have it's been like a revelation online

137
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 3: where it's like, oh, like, but I've always said that

138
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 3: it's never been a good idea. I personally said, I

139
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 3: don't really invest individual stock. Yeah you can if you

140
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 3: want to, but of course there's a lot more risk

141
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 3: involved when you're investing with an individual stock as opposed

142
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: to investing in an index funnel each Yeah, but we've

143
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 3: already said that.

144
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 4: Go look at the mass straw down over the last

145
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,880

152

00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

184
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman the United States

185
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

186
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

187
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

188
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly

189
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will

190

192
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: Do what's right, leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws

193
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: border and families will be protected.

194
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

195
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 4: Is the index strawt down is how much money you

196
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 4: lose from top to bottom. There's a lot less loss.

197
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 4: The investment is not hard. People just want to gamble.

198
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 6: And even when you're investing in the ETF, actually look

199
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 6: inside of it, Like, look at where the asset allocation

200
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 6: is going to. It changes, right, I think metas is

201
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 6: it in XLC, is it in communications? Yeah? So look

202
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 6: look at the allocation. Is it twenty percent of the

203
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 6: ETF or is it twelve percent?

204
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 2: Right?

205
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 6: Like so if it does have a droll down, it's

206
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 6: twenty percent of the ETF. Yeah, you want to feel

207
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 6: that right, whereas you might in QQQ, I think it's

208
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 6: like eight percent, right, So look inside of the ETFs themselves,

209
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 6: see the percentage of the allocations, and then make an

210
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 6: educated decision. All right, well I want to have some

211
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 6: exposure to it. Do I want to have twenty five

212
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 6: percent of the ETF or do I want to have

213
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 6: seven percent of the ETF.

214
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 4: So what would make me very bullish on Meta is

215
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 4: if they build a chet GBT competitor.

216
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 2: And that's another thing.

217
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 4: If I'm comparing Microsoft and their partnership with chat GBT,

218
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 4: if they would have had that and it could have

219
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 4: fixed a lot of the coding issues while they did

220
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 4: the layoffs, I would have.

221
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 2: Been incredibly excited.

222
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 4: They need some ail automation in place in order to

223
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 4: be able to make the company grow faster. If they

224
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 4: have that in place, I would be incredibly excited. I

225
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 4: would be bullish on Meta again at that point. But

226
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 4: if I'm comparing Microsoft's Apple versus them, I'm gonna pick

227
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 4: Apple and Microsoft every time for sure.

228
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 3: So what's your thoughts on Bacardi settling with jay Z

229
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 3: for seven hundred and fifty million dollars And what is this?

230
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 5: What is this even about.

231
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 2: Jay had a couple issues. That's fun putting it out

232
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 2: there to the world.

233
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 4: I think it was maybe six months ago where he

234
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 4: wanted to see the books I want to deal with

235
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 4: do say? And I know I read a lot of

236
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 4: the comments and people were saying, hey, he still owns

237
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 4: part of it. I get that, But my first thought

238
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 4: was if opposed to going through the entire process of

239
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 4: revealing books all sales and they agreed to pay out

240
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 4: seven fifty, how much do they really owe him?

241
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what he wants to owe him four billion?

242
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 2: So he wanted to see the books, and this is

243
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 2: how it's being reported.

244
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 6: He wanted to see the big books because he potentially

245
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 6: wanted to sell his fifty percent steak in the company.

246
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 6: And so Bacardy owns fifty percent of Ducet and I see,

247
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 6: I guess Holdings or Liquors owns fifty percent of Duce,

248
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 6: and so he was interested in selling his fifty percent

249
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 6: stake in it. The problem is the valuation was so

250
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 6: low based on what Baccarty was saying. And so when

251
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 6: you tell me that the valuation is though, now I

252
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 6: need to see the numbers.

253
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: Showed me. Showed me the number because he knows his fadary.

254
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 4: He's saying like he's a fifty x multiplier to anything

255
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 4: he touches.

256
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 2: He says three Millionately, I think they got some reports

257
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 2: where they.

258
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 6: Said they were worth five billion, and Bacarty is saying, like, not,

259
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 6: it's worth one point five So if you have it's

260
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 6: worth one point five billion, your fifty percent steak is

261
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 6: seven hundred and fifty million.

262
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 2: That's what you're entitled to. And so now I have

263
00:12:58,720 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 2: to look at the books.

264
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 6: So they went through little gation for like, like you said,

265
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 6: six months, and it's like he finally got to a

266
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 6: point where they actually settled on Friday, and the settlement

267
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 6: was rather than selling the fifty percent steak, he sold

268
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 6: majority of his fifty percent, and so technically that's like

269
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 6: he has a twenty four point nine at the maximum

270
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 6: cent stake of their company. So now Bacardi's side, they saying,

271
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 6: all right, well we're going to agree with that evaluation.

272
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 6: So let's say they agree and this is all alleged.

273
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 6: We don't know the exact numbers. Let's say that they

274
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 6: agreed that it was three billion. I still have to

275
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 6: like payout right, because he's.

276
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 2: An amazing payoff.

277
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, right, so that that's almost that's almost a billion

278
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 6: dollar transaction based on selling. Now he still has a

279
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 6: large steak in the company, like I said, twenty four

280
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 6: point nine percent if he did, right, So they still

281
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 6: have the majority. But now Bacardi owns seventy five point

282
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 6: one percent of.

283
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: Do So or to'd be worth in eight years off

284
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 2: of his name, right.

285
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 6: Or if the numbers show like he stay settled at

286
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 6: three billion allegedly or reportedly, but.

287
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 2: What if it was for.

288
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 4: Or seven or right, and we know during the depression

289
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 4: alcohol consumption goes up, they're still going to use his

290
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 4: likeness in some way to promote the brand. I will

291
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 4: not be surprised if that brand in four or five

292
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 4: years is the word twelve or thirteen billion dollars and

293
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 4: all of a sudden it was some kind of accounting

294
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 4: error to value at one point five or one.

295
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 6: Point And I'm sure he's going to promote it, right,

296
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 6: It's not like he still doesn't have ownership in it.

297
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: Yeah right, we at the brunch do say he's sponsoring it? Yeah?

298
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 6: Right, So the brand will live on obviously, you know

299
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 6: he still has a steak, he's an owner, So why

300
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 6: wouldn't you promoted it still generates revenue for you.

301
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 4: That's tricky though, because I hate when these valuation games

302
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 4: get played with us in particular, and I guarantee in

303
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 4: the year they're going to reevaluate, the company is going

304
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 4: to be worth a hell of a lot more.

305
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, but that and so shout out again kudos to

306
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 6: j and the whole team. Right, So if you look

307
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 6: at it last year, they need to move with LVMH Yeah,

308
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 6: Asu Spade, they have to be part of that luxury company.

309
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 6: And we saw the numbers that that did, and so

310
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 6: do say was something that kind of was birthed after that.

311
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: But you getting I mean it's still a win. I'm

312
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 2: still a big win.

313
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, but I don't want black entrepreneurs to get

314
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 4: lower valuations and then matters value at what it's worth.

315
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,160
