One, they will make sure that there is no pathway for anyone but Joe Biden in the Democratic primary. And I just don't see a pathway for anyone but Donald Trump in the Republican primary. Two. It used to be keep the government out of your bedroom. Now it's invite everyone in the neighborhood into your bedroom, or better yet, into your front yard, or even better yet for you to perform sexual acts in the town square. How June became a month to celebrate your kink. Three, boy, the live tour, that blew up in everyone's face. It's the Will Kame podcast on Fox News podcast. What's a And welcome to the weekend. Welcome to Friday. As always, I hope you'll download rate and review this podcast wherever you get your audio entertainment at Apple, Spotify, or at Fox News podcast. You can watch the Will Kame podcast on Rumble or on YouTube. I've got some work to do with my sons.

I've made some fundamental mistakes. The other night watching Game 3 of the NBA Finals with my youngest son, who was 12, watching the Nicola Yolkich and Jamal Murray do their thing for the Denver Nuggets. My son, my youngest son, the 12-year-old, turned to me and said, Hey, Dad, how does the transfer market work in basketball? And my heart just dropped. My shame rose through the roof. How does the transfer market work in basketball?

Now, listen, as a reminder, I'm Mr. Fox News. I'm ESPN personality Dallas Cowboy fan. I am college football and professional football. And somehow now, for at least several years, deep in the heart of Texas, I have raised a Europhile. The transfer market is a way, a term, a process, through which a soccer players are moved from team to team across Europe, La Liga, Sirea, Bundesliga in Germany, the Premier League in the UK.

It is how one player moves from one team to another, how a player moves from, say, Manchester City to Barcelona. As opposed to how we do it here in the United States of America, they're usually traded when they're under contract for cash. and their fee, their transfer market fee, is a reflection of the quality of the player. Oh, he cost 100 million euros on the transfer market. It's essentially what we would call the trade market. It's not exactly free agency.

That's here in the United States when you're completely out of contract and you can sign with whatever team you'd like. But when you're still under contract, we do trades. And we don't trade for cash. We trade for assets. We trade players for players. That's what we do in the USA. In the NBA, in the NFL, in Major League Baseball, in the USA.

But somehow, my son's primary prism through which to view sports is through international soccer. And he just buries himself in FIFA. I told you a few weeks ago, when we went to Spain, he knew every player on teams that were on the verge of being relegated. out of La Liga. Español is the name of the team. And he knew like five players on that team because he's knee-deep in FIFA. As we speak, he's in my front yard

weeding the beds because he wants to earn a little extra cash so he can buy some virtual card, some virtual player on FIFA. In fact, he had asked for an advance on his allowance and he was willing to play exorbitant, usury rates of interest in order to get his cash early.

And I almost did it just to teach him, you know, how bad it would feel a week and a half from now when he gets no allowance and it all goes into my pocket because I want him to learn delayed gratification. But his mom said, well, that's not how you teach him because you're giving him the money. You've got to tell him he can't have the money. But then I said, well, that's like telling him instead of showing him. Let's show him the pain of instant gratification. Back and forth. We went. Ultimately, I just decided, hey, you want to earn extra money?

get out there and weed my front beds, not on the chores list for the summer under normal allowance duties. But he sees the world through the prism of FIFA. He sees the world through the prism of soccer. And he's a pretty good little soccer player. But I can't raise a son who asks, how does the transfer market work in the NBA? Son, it's free agency.

It's the trade deadline. It's the NFL draft. If you want to talk about transfers, let's make sure we're talking about college football. I've made some very serious mistakes. I pride myself not only being an American, but I'm being a Texan. And somehow my son fits in better in Manchester than he might in Fort Worth. I've got some work to do. I've made some serious mistakes as a father.

Story number one. They will allow no other path in the Democratic primary, but the path for Joe Biden. And I just don't see a path in the Republican primary for anyone else, but Donald Trump. RFK Jr. has been polling now somewhere just shy of 20% among likely Democratic voters. Marianne Williamson, the self-help writer, who's also declared as a candidate for president, on the Democratic side of the ticket, polls somewhere, I think, around 1 to 3%. Joe Biden is still your leader, but obviously not without threat, not without a challenge.

But it looks like that challenge will go literally unheard. RFK Jr. is making the rounds. He's appearing on all types of programs, and maybe soon we can have RFK Jr. here on the Will Kane podcast. But he's making the rounds, and he is trying to get his voice heard. By the way, one of the issues I heard RFK Jr. speak about on his Twitter spaces a few weeks ago, ago with Elon Musk and David Sacks is that he believes that there's limited paths to accomplishing the Democratic hobby horse of gun control. Everyone is concerned about school shootings, and RFK Jr., like so many others, would like

to do something, like all of us, to do something to stop this insanity, to stop school shootings. But in that Twitter space, as he acknowledged the limit. and the ability to do something when it comes to guns as a country that is not just revered, but enshrined the Second Amendment. He understood the limitations of limiting the tool on the way to stopping the act. But he said something interesting as well. He said, you know, when you control for contributing factors, the gun does not seem to be the decisive. ingredient in this malevolent recipe that adds up to tragedy.

Now, so often there are those that support gun control that say, look, there's mental health issues in countries across the world. What's the difference? Why don't they have mass school shootings in Denmark? And I say the answer is gun control. But RFK Jr. pointed out that there are countries across the world where guns go unregulated, virtually unregulated, where guns proliferate, like Switzerland, or, say, through most of Africa. But you don't hear in news stories about mass school shootings in Africa or in Switzerland.

Instead, RFK Jr., as he is always willing to do, took the controversial and dangerous stance of criticizing or at least looking into the willingness to investigate Big Pharma. He wanted to look at the effect of psychiatric drugs on children and the school shootings. And by the way, while we're looking for contributing factors, the United States has always had lax gun laws. We have always been a country that has not just celebrated but enshrined the Second Amendment of the Constitution. And yet, school shootings are a relatively modern phenomenon in the U.S. I mean, we can go back at a period of time in the United States when machine guns, literally, fully automatic guns, were legal, and we still don't see the type of tragedy that happens all too often now in America. Gun ownership has gone up over time, but we just haven't seen at other times with high gun ownership this same kind of statistical tragedy. So whether or not it's history or a global survey, we at least ought to have the curiosity,

the willingness to look at other contributing factors as to what is causing these school shootings in RFK Jr. is not just willing but interested in taking some of those controversial but important contributing factors, curiosity, investigation into account, looking at what's going on inside the minds of our children and asking, hey, what kind of drugs might be a affecting the minds of our children. On the other hand, by the way, in the Democratic ticket, not yet officially, but lurking in the shadows, is California Governor Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom is proposing a 28th Amendment to United States Constitution. That 28th Amendment would include the following. He wants to include universal background checks when it comes to guns. He wants to

raise the minimum firearm purchase age to 21. He wants to institute. He wants to institute. a waiting period for any firearm purchase, and he wants to bar civilians from purchasing assault weapons. He wants to do this through an amendment to the Constitution, the 28th Amendment. Now, a short, good, guiding light in life, when it comes to public life, when it comes to politics, is whatever's done in the state of California, and whatever is done by Gavin Newsom, do the opposite. California is in a state of disarray. Homelessness, crime, inflation, taxes, regulation, embrace of government shutdowns during COVID, at least for anyone except for the absolute elite who get to dine at the French laundry in the case of Gavin Newsom or go get their

hair done in the case of Nancy Pelosi. California is a state where people are literally fleeing in record numbers. We know this. There's no bigger indictment. Not a vote at the ballot box, but a vote with your feet is the biggest indictment in politics. Just leave.

Get away. And they are. Californians are moving to Texas. California's moving to Arizona. Californians are moving to Montana. Californians are moving to Tennessee. Californians are moving out of California because they have finally,

understood that a good luck guiding light, a good principle in public life, is due the opposite of Gavin Newsom. This is a stunt. It's not going to happen. There will not be a 28th Amendment to the Constitution. Why? Because in order to amend the Constitution, you would have to get two-thirds of the states to propose an amendment to the Constitution and what's called an Article five convention. Then from there, after that is proposed, three quarters of state legislatures or conventions in each state must then ratify the amendment. So three quarters of the 50 states in America would need to sign on to Gavin Newsom's 28th Amendment. That's not going to happen. So instead, what Gavin Newsom has figured, instead of intellectual curiosity and attempting to

legitimately solve the problem in the United States, as is exhibited by RFK Jr., that he's going to take the path of Beto O'Rourke on his path to the presidency, to propose something extremely unlikely and even more unpopular in the 28th Amendment. But because RFK Jr. and Marianne Williamson, for that matter, are going to be boxed out, The only real pathway to the presidency for a Democrat is Joe Biden, except for those that wait in the wing successfully when Joe Biden falls, not like he did at the Air Force Academy, but when he falls, undeniably falls in his incapability of continuing to fulfill the job as president of the United States. We, every single one of us listening, every single American should understand that a vote for Joe Biden is a vote for President Kamala Harris. On the Republican side of the ticket, the field has expanded. We now have former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, former Vice President Mike Pence.

We have a field that includes Vivek Ramaswamy, tech entrepreneur, Florida governor. Ron DeSantis, North Dakota Governor Doug Bergam, and more going up to try to supplant your leader on the Republican side for president of the United States, Donald Trump. And I simply do not see a path for any of them other than Donald Trump. Donald Trump's leading the polls over Florida Governor Ron DeSantis now is well over 30 points. This is after a week of DeSantis and his launch, a period in time when you would hope that your numbers would go up. Increased media exposure, finally officially saying you are running for president, sharing your platform, sharing your personality. One could, should, reasonably expect that your numbers would go up.

They didn't for Ron DeSantis. Instead, the numbers went up for Donald Trump. I'm not telling you, would have, could have, should have. I'm not telling you wish or hope. I am giving you what I see as reality. I do not see a path for anyone but Donald Trump. When, if your launch announcement is not the moment at which you as a candidate overtake Donald Trump or show significant ability to overtake Donald Trump, when? When does that happen?

Does it happen at a Republican primary debate? Will it happen in August with the first debate on Foxx? news. Well, when has Donald Trump ever lost a debate? In all seriousness. I'm not telling you have a crystal ball. I'm not telling you I know the way it will play out. But I am telling you that I understand history. And history should be our guide. It's not infallible. It's not perfect. But history is a pretty good bookmark. When does Donald Trump ever lost a debate? To Hillary Clinton, to Joe Biden, to any of the Republican challengers in a primary? When does he come out of a debate worse than when he went into the debate?

I just don't see a debate, a debate stage with all of these guys being this moment where all of a sudden the Republican primary voter goes, you know what? No. No, I like Chris Christie over Donald Trump. By the way, while we're talking about some of these candidates, Mike Pence announced this week, former Vice President Mike Pence announced. And one of the things that we should all realize it was an ongoing debate was that the tax that happened to Donald Trump weren't unique to Donald Trump. Whoever becomes the nominee for president as a Republican will undergo the same type of attack that's been experienced by Trump. Governor Ron DeSantis, if he ever becomes a Republican nominee for president, needs to understand. very likely, as in the last episode of our podcast laid out, the FBI could be, will be, weaponized against Ron DeSantis, that the mainstream media will absolutely turn in a moment's notice on Chris Christie once he transitions from attacking Donald Trump to attacking Joe Biden.

And that was illustrated this week with the announcement by former Vice President Mike Pence. On the view, those women who quite honestly exhibit the worst characteristics of television personalities in curious, interrupting, rude, condescending, and stupid, those women would not even listen to Alyssa Farah, who used to work for, Trump, but this largely turned on him and tried to become, I don't know. I don't know if she's tried to become a liberal. I don't know if she's tried to become acceptable mainstream. I don't know if she's tried to become a Democrat. But whatever she's done, attempted to moderate herself, attempted to make herself somehow palatable to those women on the view, it was all for not. The minute she said something slightly less than critical, of Mike Pence, Sunny Hosten, conjured up the maximum level of condescension. She took that maybe to 11 in a heartbeat, no eye contact, over-talking, continued on her monologue to destroy not only Mike Pence, but Alyssa Farah as well. There is no level of acceptability if your name has an R. It doesn't matter if your name is Trump.

But if your last name has a parenthesis and a capital R at the end, you better be prepared for the ladies of the view, for the New York Times, for the Washington Post, for the FBI, perhaps the CIA, to all coordinate to destroy your campaign. And on that note, one of the other moments or factors that people point to as a pathway for maybe Mike Pence, maybe Chris Christie, maybe Ron DeSantis is what happens when the bomb drops, what happens when Donald Trump is indicted? It appears at that moment is coming.

It appears that the special prosecutor in Washington, D.C., in charge of the classified documents investigation at Mara Lago, is prepared to indict Donald Trump. And we should just take a moment and go, whoa, recognize this moment in history. The Attorney General of the United States, Merrick Garland, head of the Department of Justice, working underneath the sitting president of the United States, Joe Biden, is about to indict a former president, but more importantly,

the leading opposition candidate for presidency to Joe Biden on what amounts to, in my estimation, fairly weak and frivolous charges. The DOJ just declined to prosecute Mike Pence on classified documents that were kept unsafe outside of Washington, D.C., outside of his office, I believe back in Indiana. The DOJ has shown almost no interest in the president of the United States, Joe Biden with classified documents in his garage, as President Trump likes to say, next to his Corvette, from his days as vice president. But the DOJ looks like they're going to launch an indictment against a former president and again the leading candidate, opposition candidate for president in the midst of a presidential campaign. That is a sad place to be in the United States of America. That is when you start to question the legitimacy of the future of the republic.

That is when you start asking yourself whether or not we have now seen the full takeover. by one ideology and one party of every app, not just every apparatus, but every institution at the federal level of the United States government. In furtherance of a man who can't complete a sentence when meeting with the prime minister of the UK, instead of calling him Mr. President and then a made-up name, his name is, he made up whatever UK Prime Minister's name is. He missed it by a mile and then forgot the name of Winston Churchill and then forgot he's a prime minister and called him president. But nothing can get in the way of that man's path to the presidency. Not RFK Jr., not a debate, not Donald Trump. And in case you think that bomb that will drop will make it better for Ron DeSantis or Chris Christie or Mike Pence, not them either will get in the way of.

of that path to presidency for Joe Biden. Still, every investigation and every indictment have led to not a drop, but an increase in the support in the Republican primary for Donald Trump. I just don't see a pathway for anyone as a Republican but for Donald Trump. We'll be right back with more of the Will Kane podcast. This is Jimmy Phala,

Story number two. It used to be that we asked the government to get out of your bedroom. Now we're all asking everyone in the neighborhood to step into our bedroom and watch us in our kink. Better yet, we might just do it in the front yard.

Better yet, meet us in the town square where we're going to put on a performance for the ages, sex acts for the children. June, now a celebration of kink. It's hard to make the argument. And I believe it's the equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and chance. non-na-na to only hearing empathy white noise if we don't look around and see what's happening as the United Nations replaces 193 flags across the world with the pride flag as Rockefeller's center almost reminiscent of totalitarian regimes from the past takes down every American flag and flies pride flag after pride flag throughout that national landmark as the San

Francisco Police Department carries the pride flag, of course, the latest version of the pride flag, and places it underneath the American flag with San Francisco police officers saluting and treating with reverence. The flag for LGBTIQIA2S plus. By the way, that acronym in the month of June as a celebration of pride has already imploded in on itself. The insanity cannot reconcile. one movement with another, we just haven't yet fully recognized that this tribalistic

faction of celebration of my kink has turned in on each other. You understand, in this modern day and age, with who knows how many stripes now on the trans flag, the pride flag, with a infinite number of choices when it comes to your gender, It doesn't really make sense for the third letter to be B. Bisexual. Bisexual implies gender is binary. That you're sexually attracted to men and to women. But what about everyone else along that spectrum?

How do we reconcile by with pan? Can we have both? isn't by too limiting isn't by not inclusive enough to remain a part of a flag that celebrates pan whatever the insanity has just folded in on itself it's imploding and all it really has left us with is what we are celebrating is not a civil right it's not even an identity it's a kink hey listen have throughout the last 15 years of my life been a strong, strong supporter of charter schools. And one charter school in particular that my children went to, it has done amazing work for brown and black children in the city of New York.

It has done amazing work for underprivileged, socioeconomically deprived children in the city of New York. It has opened the door. It has opened a new door away from the failure factories of public schools in that city in Brooklyn, in the Bronx, in Harlem. And I was so disappointed to see on their social media, it was deleted a day or two later, some celebration of pride wherein they had in a coherent number of flags that they were celebrating. And in that collage of flags was a flag I'd never seen before. I don't know what the rainbow was. I don't know what colors or how many stripes. But I do know that in the corner, almost as you would with the American flag, where there would be a field of stars, in the corner of that flag was a paw print.

So what is that? What is the paw print? It's a big paw print. So it's a big animal. So what is it? I wondered. I wasn't the only one. Others who have been strong supporters of this school, who I spoke with, wondered as well.

Do you know what flag that one is that now made its way unto our civil rights? cause of our time, of our celebration of pride, it's the bear flag. You know what bears are? Bears are two dudes, gay dudes, who are into, you know, big, hairy, out of shape dudes. That's your thing. And that's fine. Do your thing. But why is your thing a civil rights cause? Why is your thing to be celebrated by everyone in society? And why if we decline to celebrate your thing, your kink, is it that you are surrounded by bigotry? There's all types of things people are into in this world. Do all of them require acceptance, tolerance, celebration?

Do all of them require an absolute lack of judgment? I don't care. Personally, I don't care if you're a bear. But I also don't understand why that is my business. And you are making that my business. You can look at any of the parades going on for this month of June. You can look at any of the public displays when it comes to pride. There was a parade a few weeks ago.

I don't remember what city this was in with a guy. Two dudes, they were dressed in bondage, of course, in the back of a pickup bed going down this parade route. One dude was sort of tied up against the cab of the tree. truck and with his bare butt, you know, Fletch style, leather, sticking out. And the other dude had like whip, and he was whipping the other dude's butt. And of course, there's children all along the parade route. Of course. That's the point of all of this.

Why is that the business of anyone, much less children? Why is that what is required to be celebrated? why is that the definition of pride there are things that everyone is into kinks deviances pornography whatever has june officially become the month of celebrate your sexual kink is that what it is is that what it's about i don't know how it went from we want everyone to have All of the rights availed to everyone else in this society. So we will expand the rights of marriage to those who want to include loving and committed relationships on the same sex side. Two, a place where we treat this pride flag with the reverence of a salute and force everyone's sexual kink into the public square.

I don't know how June went from a civil rights celebration to Sodom and Gomorrah. When did your business not just become your business? When did you say to us, when did you transition from, hey, stay out of my bedroom to, hey, watch me do what I want in the public square. And if you don't celebrate, then you're a bigot. When did this become celebrate everyone's kink? We're going to step aside here for a moment. Stay tuned. I'm Janice Dean. Join me every Sunday as I focus on stories of hope and people who are truly rays of sunshine in their community and across the world.

Well, almost everyone's face. the live golf tour backed by the saudi public investment fund it announced this week would quote unquote merge with the pga becoming the sole investor and sole sponsor sole main sponsor of the pga this is in effect live and the p if buying the pga now here's what is notable for the past what year plus we've been told that golfers who took money from the live tour were taking blood money to sports wash the crimes and misdeeds of saudi Arabia sports writer after sports writer talked about all of the guys phil mickleson gregg norman all the others that took massive paychecks to go to the live tour they including the president of the pga J. Monaghan trotted out the memories, the lines of 9-11 families to denigrate those golfers,

to denigrate the live tour. And now today, those very same people, Jay Monaghan, the PGA, take the money from Saudi Arabia. If you are Roy McElroy, a guy who took a moralizing stand against, for example, Dustin Johnson, how do you reconcile your place today to the things that you said yesterday how do you do it do you have to quit golf I've seen those say there's a big difference between

chasing the money and the money taking over your sport that doesn't really change the moral calculation does it the moralizing over the saudi thing was always simply a virtue signal it was always moralizing for as a front. And that's going to be illustrated by all the people that line up to take the money today. Now, listen, I fully acknowledge that there's enough hypocrisy to go around on this issue.

Let's say this. First, all of those guys needed to ask themselves, what's the line that we draw? We all fill up our tank. We're all part of a global oil market. The Saudis control a huge chunk of the global oil market. Are we supporting then? Are we gas washing the crimes of Saudi Arabia? Are we supporting a country where, what was it, 17 out of 19 hijackers were Saudi

Arabian? Are we supporting the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post reporter? Every time we fill up the gas tank, what is our line? I know others will say, well, Will, you talk about China. You say, we shouldn't be doing business. We shouldn't be letting LeBron moralized to us about stuff here at home, while taking money from China, but then you buy an iPhone will. And I say to that, this is about two things, acknowledging, first of all, that there is

enough hypocrisy to go around for all of us, including myself. My problem with LeBron and guys like LeBron, Steve Kerr, whoever it may be, when it comes to China is this. They're so willing to talk about the sins of the United States of America, to paint us in the worst of lights. To say this is what's wrong with us. We're terrible. We're racist. We're a problem in the world. Guns, climate change, race, whatever it may be. They're so willing to criticize the United States of America and to paint us in a certain negative light and then so silent when it comes to the money that they will take from China. That's a level of moralizing and hypocrisy

that I find indigestible. Can't take it. How do you moralize about the relative of specs in our eye while ignoring the logs in the people you take millions from. That double standard can't stand. Now, to my knowledge, the guys who went to live to her and took millions didn't spend a bunch of time talking about all the problems of the United States of America and then critically going and taking millions upon millions from Saudi Arabia. They didn't have this moralizing double standard. and by the way, I think those golfers that didn't take the money

are the ones today sitting there going, what a mistake. Tiger Woods was offered. What was he offered? It was an insane amount of money that he turned down. There would have been in his pocket. It would have been in Jordan Speeves, Roy McElroy's. They took that money, those live golfers, and they all ended up in the same spot working for the PIF. Working for the PIF. Some just took it 12 months earlier and hundreds tens of millions in some cases and hundreds of millions

and others earlier i do think to the point of there's enough hypocrisy to go around that we need as a people as a collection of individuals ask ourselves what we allow our finances to support we are doing that when it comes to domestic companies we're doing that when it comes to bud light maybe we're doing that when it comes to disney maybe we're doing that when it comes to target we do need to ask ourselves and i understand the complications and the limitations we do need to ask ourselves hey should we We'd be buying products that are made in China, who is our Cold War adversary, who wants what's worse for the United States, no doubt about it. China wants what's worse for the United States. Should we buy the same token, ask those same questions about Saudi Arabia?

Are they also an existential threat to the United States? We know they don't live up to our moral standards on many things. Were they involved in 9-11? Do we need to ask and answer these questions before we buy gasoline, before we root for sports teams, before we watch PGA golf now? I think it's a legitimate question, and that's where there's enough hypocrisy to go around. But I don't see it exactly on the same level as the criticism of those who would do business with China and preach here at home. But for all those sports riders and all those golfers that stood on their high horse, sat on their high horse, stood on their perch, and preached and looked down their nose.

at those golfers who took millions, be interesting to see how you do going forward. What will you take from Live, the PIF? What will you take from Saudi Arabia? A couple other sports notes. The Minnesota Vikings are parting ways with Dalvin Cook. Dalvin Cook, who's still a good running back, averaged over four yards of carry.

The Minnesota Vikings are doing smart business. When it comes to running backs, you need to say goodbye sooner rather than later. you don't want to get out of that relationship late. You want to get out of that relationship early. You can't pay running backs big money late into their 20s no matter how good they have been because it's about how good they will be

and how cheaply you can replace them on the market. As a Cowboys fan, I'll speak for the rest of you who are fans of other teams. I don't want my team going and spending a lot of money to bring in Dalvin Cook. Bring them in on a cheap deal? Great. he's a bargain he'll be great great contributor but paying him seven eight million dollars a year

nope can't do that with running backs going forward and in massive sports news massive because what we are now going to discuss is one of the two to four biggest sports stars on the planet but I think legitimately two biggest stars on the planet is coming to America. Lionel Messi is leaving PSG Paris Saint-G-Germain in France and joining Inter-Miamy of Major League Soccer. You know, Messi's got to be one or two in the world of most popular and most famous athletes on the planet, along with Cristiano Ronaldo. It's fascinating.

Rinaldo and his former teammate, for that matter, Kareem, Benzima of Real Madrid have signed with Saudi Arabian teams. Not unlike what we just discussed when it comes to live. And they've taken ungodly amounts of money, like $250 million a year. Same as essentially the salary cap of the Kansas City Chiefs. And what's even more fascinating than Ronaldo and Benzima getting that kind of money to go to teams, teams, by the way, that even sports fans, soccer fans like myself, I mean Al Nasser. Who's Al Nasser? I don't know. Never heard of that team. Don't follow that team. My son, of course, knows who is Al Nasser.

But with even more fascinating than Benzman Ronaldo taking that quarter of a billion dollars is Messi turning it down. Messy could have gone there. I mean, what? You signed a four-year deal for a billion dollars with the Saudi Arabian team, and instead you go to enter Miami? Why? They do not have the ability to pay anywhere on that level. And we don't know the terms of the deal. I'm sure he's going to get a ownership chunk, probably a pretty big ownership chunk of Inter-Maiami.

Maybe Adidas, he gets a profit-sharing deal with Adidas where jerseys and whatnot sold in the United States of America, he stands to make some type of, or maybe even gets ownership, I don't know, all of his sponsors. Because what we're about to witness in the United States is going to be huge. I'm serious, even for you guys who don't love soccer, like, okay, no. I mean, this is how big messy is. When I said two to four, I'm safely going to limit it to two. Brady and LeBron are not on the same level as Messi and Ronaldo, certainly not globally. Messi is going to come to the United States, and it's certain to change soccer in the short term,

and we'll see what the lasting impact is over the long term. Short term, stadiums are going to be full. I mean, you know, most MLS stadiums are like 20 to 30,000 seats. Messy in Europe, not forget Europe. When Messi came to United States for their summer tours, just play a game or two, you're talking about 50,000 to 80,000 stadiums sold out. Now, you know, every year, look, when they come to Dallas, will we want to see them? Absolutely, I will want to go see Messi and enter Miami play FC Dallas.

I would imagine this is this kind of thing that you and your family want to see as well. And he's still great. This isn't, he's not washed up. He is still great. We're going to want our chance to see messy. You're going to see kids walk around in pink, because that's Inter-Miamis colors, pink or black, messy shirts, guaranteed. He's going to be all over the place. I think it's safe to say it's the biggest thing ever to happen to Major League Soccer in the United States of America.

In the 70s and early days, you had Pele. And look, I was a little kid, but even I remember then, I was a really little kid. I do remember Pele becoming somebody that we all knew of. And that's because he came to the New York Cosmos. We all knew, oh, Pele, you asked us back then, name one soccer player. We could only name one. Pele. I could name two, maybe.

Pele and Tattoo. It was like an indoor soccer player for the Dallas. I think they were called the tornadoes and the sidekicks. Not exactly on the same level as Pele. And then David Beckham signs with L.A. Galaxy in 2007. That was pretty big as well. Beckham and owner of Inter-Miamy now. This changes soccer in the United States.

I'm not here to do the whole, like, oh, soccer overtakes this sport or that sport. No. But I do think, in the short term, it sells out stadiums. In the short term, Apple makes a ton of money on their MLS rights for people signing up for packages. In the short term, Messi's all over the place. He doesn't speak English, I don't think. Not well. He's going to be all over media.

You're going to see him everywhere. In the long term, I do think it drives up more interest in soccer as both a spectator and participant sport, helping to raise the possibility of the United States becoming more. of a soccer player on the global stage, raising MLS to being more of a player among the world's leagues. This is huge, messy to Miami. All right, that's going to do it for me today here on the Will Cain podcast. Always fun hanging out with you.
