Transcript
- 0:00Well, who could have seen this coming. Here's the headline, Retail theft
- 0:05forces Nike to permanently close beloved Portland location, and it says the Portland location
- 0:12had the second highest rate of shoplifting incidents in the city since twenty nineteen.
- 0:17And when I see stories like this, I wondered to myself, did the
- 0:20company have anything to do with creating the conditions that makes it impossible for them
- 0:27to operate in this city that they can't operate in anymore? So, going
- 0:31back into their history a little bit here, I remember they signed Colin Kaepernick
- 0:36with a contract worth millions and he got a branded line. Now, he
- 0:41was a big protester and he was a big fan of BLM. And they're
- 0:45saying it's still defund the police still today, they're not giving this up here
- 0:53at Nike. Nike promises to donate fourty million over the course of four years
- 0:58to social justice organizations that support the Black Lives Matter movement. I wonder if
- 1:03they're still doing that, because this is the same BLM that some people have
- 1:07been calling buy lots of mansions inside BLM co founder Patrese Canclore's million dollar real
- 1:15estate buying binge Let's see, the group's co founder went on a real estate
- 1:19buying binge, snagging four high end homes for three point two million in the
- 1:23US alone. Apparently she also had property in the Bahamas at an ultra exclusive
- 1:30resort where justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods both have homes. I bet say there's
- 1:34no police there. Oh, and there was the matter of well here,
- 1:38Black Lives Matter activists accused executive of stealing ten million in donor funds. Organizers
- 1:46a legend lawsuit that he put the organization's finances in his quote personal piggy bank.
- 1:53Well, I can see why he'd want to defund the police and the
- 1:55irs. You know what, I did a little bit of digging around.
- 1:57Here's open secret following the money in politics. Here's Nike ink and I wonder
- 2:05if their money was well spent. Let's see ron Widen seventy four thousand dollars.
- 2:09Who's he? Well, let's see. Ronald Lee Widen is an American
- 2:14politician and retired educator serving as the senior United States Senator from from Oregon.
- 2:21Well, that's where Portland is. You see, he's a member of the
- 2:24Democratic Party. Huh, what else we got here? Democratic Party of Oregon
- 2:30sixty eight thousand dollars Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. You know what, everything blue
- 2:36here? That's all Democrats. Huh interesting? Oh and you know what I
- 2:39saw this about Kaepernick, the one who's gotten so much money from Nike and
- 2:43who they support so much. This is from this year, Kaepernick on joining
- 2:46Marxists to edit new book Black Liberation isn't possible under what could it not be
- 2:54possible? Under? What do the modern far left hate? Now? Oh,
- 3:00that's right capitalism, and they hate capitalists like Nike, which is why
- 3:05Nike gives them gives them money. Huh. Well, I guess that's something
- 3:09to think about, isn't it. But definitely nothing to see here. Definitely,
- 3:14this isn't one of those be careful what you wish for stories. But
- 3:16anyway, I guess we'll just recap. So Nike gives millions of dollars to
- 3:21Colin Kapernick, who's a Marxist and a big supporter of Black Lives Matter,
- 3:27who are also Marxists and who are very much into defunding the police and just
- 3:32undermining law enforcement in general and promoting progressive policies that basically make crime legal.
- 3:39So why not give them millions of dollars. Oh, and also give money
- 3:44to Democrats who agree with BLM that crime should basically be legal, and go
- 3:50ahead and just do that. And then somehow it's impossible to keep a brick
- 3:54and mortar store open because for some reason, people think they don't have to
- 3:59give you money for your products anymore. Maybe the Marxist market isn't quite as
- 4:03lucrative as they thought. Anyway, Please subscribe, like and share sharing really
- 4:09helps me out. I thank you for that. I will see you next
- 4:12time. H
