- 1:51Speaker 2: Nike stock fell after the company projected a larger sales
- 1:56Speaker 2: decline than expected for twenty twenty five.
- 1:59Speaker 1: What are you in sites on this situation? And is
- 2:02Speaker 1: now the time to load the vote?
- 2:07Speaker 2: I think there are forty or fifty other companies that
- 2:09Speaker 2: are better than Nike. Kudos to executive management there. I
- 2:13Speaker 2: appreciate you. They have to stop reblocking the same Jordan's
- 2:15Speaker 2: and dunks. People are tired of buying them. Fix it
- 2:18Speaker 2: crocs on your ass? Y'all did know what? So let
- 2:21Speaker 2: heat y'all need to see y'all need to go make
- 2:24Speaker 2: things right with Kanye, don See and Kyrie. Y'all want
- 2:28Speaker 2: to just push your everybody to the side. Okay, cool,
- 2:31Speaker 2: And it worked when we had a keyword night, zero
- 2:36Speaker 2: interest rate, environment and no desire or desire for them
- 2:40Speaker 2: re rocked paying did y'all keep putting out? So now
- 2:44Speaker 2: you need more creators with a certain hue to bring audience.
- 2:51Speaker 2: And you guys also have a profit margin issue, like
- 2:54Speaker 2: he was saying, My two biggest things in twenty all
- 2:57Speaker 2: state automation like emails don't matter investing for the long term.
- 3:03Speaker 2: And then you have to be in the luxury goods market.
- 3:05Speaker 2: So now you have Crocs, you have lemon that are
- 3:09Speaker 2: on your ass, Adidas cool, you have a whole bunch
- 3:13Speaker 2: of now And then you have the biggest competitor of
- 3:15Speaker 2: Nike as not Adidas as lvmh If I have to
- 3:21Speaker 2: pick between wearing certain goods, will I look better in
- 3:26Speaker 2: the luxury good or everyone on earth is your competition.
- 3:30Speaker 2: And because you didn't maybe secure Kanye and do what
- 3:33Speaker 2: you needed to do with Virgil and then Kyrie, those
- 3:36Speaker 2: are three creative powerhouses that you lost, and I don't
- 3:40Speaker 2: know how you're going to get them back. At some
- 3:42Speaker 2: point corporate needs to realize unless you're making something substantial
- 3:45Speaker 2: like large language models with n videos making in their
- 3:49Speaker 2: data centers in blackwell, you don't have a competitive advantage
- 3:52Speaker 2: if everybody can go remix your old designs and go
- 3:55Speaker 2: put them at another brand. Do right by Kyrie, did
- 4:00Speaker 2: right by Kanye, should have did right by Virsion. There's
- 4:02Speaker 2: other creatives that have not been done right and now
- 4:04Speaker 2: you have to deal with what you're going through. So yeah, no, no,
- 4:09Speaker 2: it's not not the load the boat time.
- 4:11Speaker 1: I would not I would not load the boat. I'm
- 4:13Speaker 1: not invested in Nike. Although I am an avid sneak
- 4:16Speaker 1: ahead and have plenty of Nike sneakers at the present time,
- 4:19Speaker 1: I'm not for a number of the reasons that you said.
- 4:23Speaker 1: I think the first thing is, especially in sneaker culture,
- 4:25Speaker 1: the lack of innovation and the shoes that they're making.
- 4:28Speaker 1: They hit a gold mine. They hit the gold mine
- 4:30Speaker 1: of all gold mines in the in the eighties when
- 4:32Speaker 1: they got Jordan Kobe was great for them, still is.
- 4:37Speaker 1: I'm glad that they brought that brand back. Uh didn't
- 4:40Speaker 1: treat him well or the family. Let me just speak
- 4:42Speaker 1: on it. Real quick they figured out. But they did
- 4:45Speaker 1: figure it out. We can, right, Vanessa didn't have to
- 4:48Speaker 1: go back.
- 4:51Speaker 2: That shouldn't been a gap where it wasn't the should Yeah,
- 4:54Speaker 2: I agree with you.
- 4:54Speaker 1: I don't think it should have expired. I think I mean,
- 4:56Speaker 1: he's one of these legacy athletes prior to him pass
- 5:00Speaker 1: he's a legacy athlete, he's a legacy brand inside of
- 5:03Speaker 1: the company. But there just hasn't been that innovation. Right,
- 5:06Speaker 1: Like in the mid nineties you had zoom technology inside
- 5:09Speaker 1: the shoe, right, you had like air in the early
- 5:12Speaker 1: and mid eighties. There hasn't been that innovation in the shoe.
- 5:15Speaker 1: I know, they tried the vapor Maax thing. It didn't
- 5:18Speaker 1: grow well. The two seventy was a shoe that was different.
- 5:22Speaker 1: It wasn't a recycled one. And so because they haven't
- 5:25Speaker 1: had the innovation. And I'm glad you brought an lvmh
- 5:27Speaker 1: is because that's where it's been for the past ten years.
- 5:30Speaker 1: It's been let's collab and so they have collab with
- 5:34Speaker 1: LVMHS right on the shoe. They have collabed with off White,
- 5:37Speaker 1: they have collabed with car Hard and Union and all
- 5:40Speaker 1: these brands. But those are remakes of shoes that exists.
- 5:44Speaker 1: There isn't any innovation inside there. But it also is
- 5:48Speaker 1: a microcosms of the sector. If we look at Little
- 5:51Speaker 1: Lemons performance over the past three years, down seventeen percent,
- 5:54Speaker 1: Adidas is down twenty six percent, Honda Alma forget about it.
- 5:57Speaker 1: These are the direct competitors that athletes of space. So
- 6:01Speaker 1: there is it too down? What was surprising, Like they
- 6:05Speaker 1: already said that they were going to have a decline
- 6:07Speaker 1: this year. They estimated it to be a three percent
- 6:10Speaker 1: decline based on the earnings that they reported on Friday,
- 6:13Speaker 1: it's looking like a ten percent decline. Yeah, that's I mean,
- 6:18Speaker 1: it's it's the fifty one buck. It was the worst
- 6:22Speaker 1: day in the history of the stock on Friday. And
- 6:24Speaker 1: then they're already expecting year over year decline for the
- 6:28Speaker 1: year ending in May five mm hm, Like you're already
- 6:32Speaker 1: telling us your future guidance is like, we're we're going
- 6:35Speaker 1: to lose money and profitability. We're going to lose money
- 6:37Speaker 1: in revenue. Should you even touch it, I'm not back
- 6:41Speaker 1: in the league, right and yeah on a bunch of
- 6:44Speaker 1: these social issues. You you missed the mark over and
- 6:48Speaker 1: over and again. You don't you have your biggest athlete
- 6:51Speaker 1: now his time? I mean, what one year? Two years?
- 6:55Speaker 1: Maybe for Lebron, maybe maybe, but who's next? Zion? That
- 7:00Speaker 1: didn't work Jason Tatum. I don't see kids gravitating to
- 7:04Speaker 1: try to grab Jason Tatum shoe. Joe thought maybe had
- 7:07Speaker 1: a chance from the from the athletics, from the basketball.
- 7:09Speaker 1: I didn't sign Anthony put They missed on that too,
- 7:12Speaker 1: But I don't. I just don't see the innovation from
- 7:14Speaker 1: the shoe and from the face of the brand. Right
- 7:17Speaker 1: the logo was the face then you obviously the Jordan
- 7:20Speaker 1: brand will continue, but even now the sales on Jordan
- 7:23Speaker 1: are still down.
- 7:24Speaker 2: Is better call Sonny Vacaro and go back to Nike
- 7:27Speaker 2: and put and hand out that money on the table.
- 7:29Speaker 2: How y'all used to do.
- 7:30Speaker 1: Or more tinker, tinker more than anybody when it comes
- 7:32Speaker 1: to innovation for the night and all their shoes. But
- 7:35Speaker 1: they don't. Who's the tinker now? We don't know, y'all.
- 7:39Speaker 2: Let new Balance get hot on y'all.
- 7:42Speaker 1: New Balance is hot, they go on fire, new bounces definitely.
- 7:47Speaker 2: If you just happen to look and they're half consultants
- 7:49Speaker 2: thinking me wrong. But when you look at like executive leadership.
- 7:52Speaker 2: Do they look like they may buy a lot of
- 7:54Speaker 2: the product that the culture may wear that they're selling to.
- 7:59Speaker 1: And that's just me.
- 8:00Speaker 2: I'm with the coach of you got well played. You
- 8:04Speaker 2: have to eat your own dog food.
- 8:08Speaker 1: But what do I know.
- 8:09Speaker 2: I'm just a guy, a pundit on a right wing

- 8:27Speaker 3: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
- 8:31Speaker 3: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
- 8:35Speaker 3: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

- 8:43Speaker 3: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
- 8:48Speaker 3: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

- 8:55Speaker 3: were here illegally, your next you will be fine. Nearly
- 8:58Speaker 3: one thousand dollars imprisoned and deported you will never return.
- 9:04Speaker 3: But if you register using our CBP home app and
- 9:07Speaker 3: leave now, you could be allowed to return legally. Do
