united states government cannot guarantee american citizens will be -- we have informed americans registered with the state department, exploring options to help them depart from cape haitian and port-au-prince. >> carley: they said they will try, what do you think about that? >> i don't know what to think anymore. all i'm concerned about right now is their safety. i want them to be safe, i don't want to have to worry about them. can you imagine, every single day now, just thinking, i'm going to get that phone call saying, we're on a flight, we're coming, we're safe. that is not the case. other people are being rescued and able to become u.s. citizens. for them to continue to be there. my mom etch radioed out to every person and seems like a lot of talk and not a lot of action.

the athlete declares their gender male or female and they have completed gender surgery, the athlete completes quarterly hormone testing four years post-surgery and remains proper testosterone levels. >> todd: what points would you drive home as an athlete? >> we have probably close to 20 studies that show no amount of testosterone suppression, testosterone surges start in the womb and have surges as males grow and final puberty surge of
2:33 am
being a child and no amount of suppression mitigates advantage of being born male. to ask them to go through sexual reassignment surgery and drop their testosterone levels does not protect the women. they are male and will always be male. you have a man that has low testosterone levels, they have grownup with advantage of male puberty and no way to make this fair to women. when the olympic charter started, this was a government charter to start the olympics and ted stevens act in 1998 was supposed to protect women and this is being thrown out the window on the international olympic committee and the united states olympic committee threatening if you don't allow

2:35 am
now boxing, i think it is upward of 143% more power and when you are an athlete in training, levels don't drop off. take away all the testosterone you want, you haven it0% over women. you will hurt the women and all the more need to have protection of women. when boxing allows men to box women, it is insanity. i chuckle we are having this conversation and have 20 studies that show it is not -- >> todd: i fear that women's sports in 10 years could be dead, at least when it comes to the olympics. this has cost you, you got kicked out. >> carley: another boeing emergency, this time the engine on delta airline fight catches fire. not good.

false. what's your reaction to that? >> well, the reality is they are letting americans go and they plan to hire migrants whether they are connected or not. but the point for me and my investment philosophy is that political activity by companies is bad for their shareholders, politics is bad for performance. when something like this happens, we seen similar things with bud light and target. we want to get out of that company for shareholder perspective. and this particular issue for politically conservative people the open border is a major concern. that's another reason why we don't want to be in tyson right now we sold and divested monday. >> todd: you are not the largest etf. >> $79 million in your fund. are you confident in your ability with that in mind to get the big guys like tyson, like bud light to change their ways? >> well, we are growing. and even much, much larger fund,

programs. i think that's a major first step. because that has no residence, the studies have shown, to shareholder value and at the end of the day, william, you're trying to maximize the value to the people in your fund and you need to look at shareholder value from all these companies. final thoughts to you, bill? >> yes. dei, glad to see a lot of pushback there. i say pushback against the whole woke liberal agenda. a meritocracy we want the best people doing the best they can in the companies we invest in. >> carley: this is something that vivek ramaswamy talks about and now william you are doing it as well. thank you so much for joining us this morning. have great day. >> thank you for having me. >> todd: make one final point. to those people who say todd you scream when you are on air. merry christmas, today was your day. >> carley: we do hope you are feeling better by tomorrow. have a great day everybody.
