Welcome back to Matt Nair on Air, Jane Matt Nair, Greg Bach, Kelviente, on the board

coming to you from our studio in downtown Wakashan, join us, caller text.

It is the same number 855 7524842 leave a comment on the live stream. If you're watching

on Facebook, YouTube and what used to be Twitter, just a reminder, tomorrow is the deadline

to register to vote in Wisconsin. If you want to vote online or by mail, make sure you check

your voter registration status. Be a voter. Everybody who's anybody is a voter. I know I'm

trying to be a luring Java. I don't know that that's working. Go to my vote dot w i dot

gov. My vote dot w i dot gov. Make sure you are registered. You can get a look at your ballot.

There is going to be a constitutional amendment on the ballot. They want to change one word,

one word from every US citizen to only US citizens. In my estimation, this just opens the

doorway for them to narrow the definition of who the only US citizens will be. I feel

like if they wanted to add a bunch of words, it's one thing, but the fact it should, it

should give everyone, make everyone sit up and go, why, why it should give you pause that

they just want to change one singular word. And we are not hearing the same kind of support

coming from Robin Voss, W I L L, the Wisconsin Institute for Long Liberty about how great

this is why everyone should vote for it. I will be voting. No, I will be voting. I also

will be voting. Yeah, 1153. That means it is time for this shouldn't be a thing. If you

ever have a thing that should not be send it into Greg and me as Jane says J N E S A Y S

Jane says at civic media. US, it can be anything. It can be from the world of politics. It

can be from nature. Today, it is from the world of fashion, according to Reuters, US consumers,

three women from California are suing French luxury house Hermes because Hermes. It's

very snooty. That was Hermes. No, it's Hermes. They claim that in order to buy a Birken

bag, which is a very, very famous handbag made by this company that can run into the hundreds

of thousands of dollars. They claim that in order for them to be able to buy one of those

overpriced handbags, the company is forcing them to spend thousands of dollars on other

stuff before they're worthy of a Birken bag. So it's like a gauntlet of purchasing. You

have to a gauntlet of buying expensive stuff. The lawsuit claims that Hermes only gives

customers with sufficient purchase history, a chance to buy a Birken bag, which they're

hand made. They can cost like I said, hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you just do a

Google search, they're everywhere from 25 grand to $300,000. That is the first thing

that should not be that a handbag will sell for $300,000. The other part of this that

should not be is that these three women are suing because they don't want to have to

buy the expensive stuff to buy the really expensive stuff. That's absurd. So like I can

spend $25,000 on a handbag, but I won't spend $25,000. I don't even know what else you

have to buy to buy shoes. They make scarves. Remember Dr. Dr. Bick, Dr. Bricks, whatever

her name was, when Dr. when Donald Trump said, Dr. Birks, when Donald Trump said that

we had to shine bleach or shine lights into our body, the one who was melting into the

floor, she wore Hermes scarves. They're also very, very expensive. Nothing says of the American

people like us, like a $5,000 next scarf. Calvin, any thoughts on this? Well, I mean, Calvin

loves it. He wants one. Well, these people clearly aren't in the demographic. I am

unfortunately, um, pretty aware of Birking Begs because of their hold on the rap industry.

A lot of rappers rap about Birking Begs. And I think they sing about handbags. Well,

they talk about like buying their girls Birking Begs about having Birking Begs because

I mean, it's a flex. So it's a break. Yeah, it's literally just about the name and how

much it costs. So if you're not in the round position to like, why? Why do you need? Well,

that's the first part. First of all, like, I shouldn't be able to pay off my house with

what you paid for a handbag, right? Okay. There, there's point number one. And I also

want to know what this process is it like a subway frequent fire punch card? Like,

you have to buy up to $10,000 for this stuff before you can shell a 25 grand on a purse.

And also we live in that culture where if you are, if you are rich enough to do that,

that's exactly what people love. They love being exclusive. They love being a part of

something other people aren't. So the fact that there are individuals suing or mess for

this. Paul leaves. Yeah, that's why that was today's edition of this shouldn't be

a thing. Yeah, but you had one more comment about that. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's like,

this isn't a new thing like car companies do this. I think you have to like buy so many

porches before Porsche allows you to buy their like certain sports car and stuff. So I don't

think this, yeah, I don't think they're going to this loss. It's going to get thrown

out. That shouldn't be a thing either. Yeah, this is, this is, that just should not be

a thing. This is not a monopoly. That was there. Or it was anti trust. Oh, anti trust.

It's a purse. It's a purse. It's a purse. Please.

News is coming up next, followed by Todd, all the thank you, Greg and Calvin and all of our

engineers and everyone across civic media without you, nothing works. Thank you most of all for
