NASCAR & Michael Jordan Are Willing To Burn Down The Entire Sport | Coffee With Kenny · Kenny Wallace Media

• 0:01
  Happy Friday morning, everybody. NASCAR versus Michael Jordan and
• 0:10
  Front Row Motorsports. It's a banger.
• 0:14
  They all going to go out in a blaze of glory.
• 0:18
  They all going to say exactly what they want and they going to
• 0:23
  burn the house down. I'd never wanted to talk about
• 0:27
  this lawsuit again because it was too confusing.
• 0:32
  However, the juice is loose. This is the point where you got
• 0:39
  to talk about it. Holy moly.
• 0:43
  Did you see yesterday? OK, if you go back.
• 0:49
  Oh, God. Eight months ago.
• 0:51
  I don't know how long ago it was.
• 0:52
  Seems like it was a long time ago.
• 0:55
  The judge told NASCAR and the judge told Front Row Motorsports
• 1:04
  and 2311, which is Michael Jordan.
• 1:07
  The judge said you all need to settle this case and here's what
• 1:13
  the judge said. And now it's ringing true.
• 1:16
  The judge knew what was going to go on, he said.
• 1:19
  I've never seen a group of people wanting to burn NASCAR
• 1:24
  down like you all are going to do.
• 1:29
  So it started yesterday. Yesterday, because of the way
• 1:35
  this all works, emails, texts, they all became public.
• 1:43
  Holy moly. I was telling my wife we went to
• 1:50
  Cracker Barrel last night for dinner and she says what's going
• 1:53
  on in that lawsuit? I said, oh, all Hell's breaking
• 1:55
  loose. I said, did you know that if on
• 2:00
  your personal phone, if you text somebody at any time, if you go
• 2:06
  to court, the federal government, all your texts, all
• 2:11
  your emails are never private. You think they're private
• 2:15
  because they're yours. But you know, all that stuff is
• 2:19
  always right there and and they can get it.
• 2:23
  So because of that, some things, some small things became
• 2:30
  everybody's business. And I got to tell you they are
• 2:36
  burning the house down. Let's go over some of the things
• 2:41
  that we heard yesterday. There was a conversation between
• 2:48
  two people and it said how does this all end?
• 2:55
  And the person answered, to my complete amazement said it only
• 3:03
  happens if Jim dies. I assume that's Jim France.
• 3:14
  So these people are saying all this ends only if Jim France
• 3:17
  dies. Is that what that said?
• 3:19
  You all see it. I read it too.
• 3:21
  It's out there. Bob.
• 3:23
  Pop grass, Jeff Gluck, it's everywhere, Michael Jordan says
• 3:30
  to one of his business partners. The business partner says we
• 3:35
  need to do the best we can we can with what we got right now.
• 3:40
  If we don't, it's going to cost us millions of dollars, Michael
• 3:44
  Jordan responds. I've lost that in the casino.
• 3:51
  Holy moly, that tells you how much money Michael Jordan made
• 3:56
  playing basketball. As one of the greatest
• 3:59
  basketball players of all time, he never made the money playing
• 4:03
  basketball. Let's be clear about that.
• 4:05
  Michael Jordan made all his money from Nike basketball, gave
• 4:13
  him the platform to make the money.
• 4:16
  Michael Jordan made all his money from Nike, still making
• 4:22
  $44 million a year just from Nike.
• 4:25
  Louis, Louis the legend. And so it begins, everybody.
• 4:33
  One of the biggest shows in modern sports history.
• 4:36
  Now, let's be clear about this. If NASCAR and Front Row
• 4:43
  Motorsports in 2311, if they don't settle this behind closed
• 4:48
  doors, everything is going to become public.
• 4:53
  Now is 2311, are they, are they bluffing?
• 5:01
  Are they bluffing? Because here's what 2311 just
• 5:05
  said. They said in the court hearing
• 5:09
  yesterday, we have the smoking gun.
• 5:15
  That means whatever 2311 has will show everybody that NASCAR
• 5:26
  is bad. Now, are they bluffing?
• 5:31
  Are they saying, hey, NASCAR, let's settle this and once
• 5:35
  again, I'll bring everybody up to date.
• 5:39
  What does 2311 in front row? What do they want?
• 5:43
  They're saying they want the sport to distribute more money
• 5:49
  to the teams because the teams cannot make any money.
• 5:54
  NASCAR argues that you guys are making all the money you want.
• 5:58
  All I can say is this. Michael Jordan made all his
• 6:02
  money from Nike. Some of the sport's wealthiest
• 6:10
  race car drivers might not have made all their money from the
• 6:16
  race car, but they've but they made their money in different
• 6:20
  ways. NASCAR does provide a platform
• 6:27
  for you to make an effort to make a living.
• 6:32
  Now for me, all I can do is go by me.
• 6:36
  How did I make it? How did I make all this money I
• 6:39
  got? I say that humbly, right?
• 6:42
  I'm very humble about it when I say it.
• 6:44
  So if if I'm going to talk about this subject, how did I make
• 6:48
  this money? Well, when I got Square D as a
• 6:53
  sponsor, I gave it to Andy Petrie or I gave it to Philbert
• 6:56
  Martasi and I said here's all this money, here's the milk.
• 7:00
  I went and got millions of dollars from Square DI, gave it
• 7:05
  to the race team and we paid for the motors and the race cars and
• 7:09
  the travelling and the tires and the salaries.
• 7:13
  We had to pay the people. So basically I in a roundabout
• 7:17
  way, because I wouldn't got the millions of dollars and I gave
• 7:20
  it to the car owners. I was the one responsible for
• 7:23
  taking care of all the families. So I had a lot of pressure on
• 7:27
  me, but I wanted to play. I wanted to play, I wanted to
• 7:32
  play a game. So I went and got the millions
• 7:34
  of dollars and we raced with it. I got a little bit of the money.
• 7:39
  I got a little bit of the percentage.
• 7:42
  I took some of that money. I put it into real estate and I
• 7:47
  hit an oil well. I told everybody I took that
• 7:52
  money that I saved. I invested in the stock market.
• 7:57
  Trump became president. The stock market went from 19
• 8:02
  when I invested it. That's up to 45 right now.
• 8:09
  Am I lucky? Then I did TVI made a lot of
• 8:16
  money doing TV. Then I gave speeches.
• 8:24
  So do you see what I'm saying? I didn't.
• 8:28
  I, I made my start in NASCAR, but then I took that money and I
• 8:34
  quadrupled it because I did the smart things with it.
• 8:40
  What Michael Jordan's arguing is a look, you guys are, you guys
• 8:44
  are just hogging all the money. NASCAR's arguing that we give
• 8:48
  you all as much as Formula One gives their drivers and teams.
• 8:54
  That's not a fair argument because Formula One is
• 8:57
  worldwide. Some of their some of their
• 9:01
  deals are 200 million a year. Formula One looks like makes
• 9:05
  NASCAR look like small potatoes. I don't know how this is going
• 9:11
  to end, but if it keeps it up, it's going to be ugly.
• 9:18
  Right now they've lit the match and the Wick is burning.
• 9:24
  They're burning the house down and it's not good.
• 9:29
  Have a great Friday, everybody.
