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.
