U.S. Athletes Criticize America During the Games plus CA’s ‘Jock Tax’ Turns Win Into a $71K Loss · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: As the Olympics are going on right now, there are
0:04
Speaker 1: controversies over what American athletes are saying about America. Yes,
0:08
Speaker 1: the same one's representing this country, but if you look
0:11
Speaker 1: at the media and the left, they're encouraging it. The
0:17
Speaker 1: wash In Post has this headline, US Olympic athletes expressing
0:22
Speaker 1: their views is as America as it gets US athletes.
0:28
Speaker 1: Reuters has their headlines say they have right to speak
0:31
Speaker 1: up after Trump. Yes they're attacking Trump, brands Olympic skier
0:36
Speaker 1: a loser again, justifying their criticism of the United States
0:41
Speaker 1: of America as they're representing US.
0:44
Speaker 2: The Guardian has it this way.
0:47
Speaker 1: Winter olympian says he has received death threats over anti
0:52
Speaker 1: ice protests.
0:54
Speaker 2: These are just some of the.
0:55
Speaker 1: Headlines that are now out there, and the media and
0:58
Speaker 1: the left are doing it all together.
1:00
Speaker 3: Now.
1:00
Speaker 1: A lot of this started after there was what many
1:03
Speaker 1: described as a green light signal sent from Barack Obama
1:08
Speaker 1: that it's absolutely okay for you to, you know, go
1:11
Speaker 1: out there and criticize. Then you had a freestyle skier
1:16
Speaker 1: named Hunter hess and Chris Lillis who voiced discomfort representing
1:22
Speaker 1: the United States due to recent political events. It got
1:27
Speaker 1: even worse, as this was said from the official podium.
1:31
Speaker 1: Wearing the United States of America's official uniform.
1:36
Speaker 4: It brings up mixed emotions. To represent the US right now,
1:39
Speaker 4: I think it's a little hard. There's obviously a lot
1:44
Speaker 4: going on that I'm not the biggest fan of, and
1:46
Speaker 4: I think a lot of people aren't. If it aligns
1:48
Speaker 4: with my moral values, I feel like I'm representing it.
1:52
Speaker 4: Just because I'm wearing the flag doesn't mean I represent
1:55
Speaker 4: everything that's going on in the US. So yeah, I
1:59
Speaker 4: just kind of want to do it for my friends,
2:00
Speaker 4: of my family and the people that support me getting here.
2:03
Speaker 1: So there you go. I'm not really a big fan
2:05
Speaker 1: of the US. That is what Team USA Freestyle skier
2:08
Speaker 1: Hunter has had to say from the podium. Now, there's
2:12
Speaker 1: also a picture that has gone viral as well. It
2:16
Speaker 1: is a picture of skis that are kind of one
2:19
Speaker 1: going left and the other going right, and then in
2:22
Speaker 1: the snow it looks like yellow snow. Someone would urinate
2:27
Speaker 1: and it says, f you you know what? And then
2:31
Speaker 1: ice that has gone viral as well. And that's not
2:35
Speaker 1: the only controversy. There's also this one. An American born
2:40
Speaker 1: Olympic skier who competes now for China. She has now
2:46
Speaker 1: come out defending Hunter Has, who said he has mixed
2:49
Speaker 1: emotions about representing Team USA.
2:53
Speaker 2: Here is part of what she had to say at
2:55
Speaker 2: the Olympics. What a beautiful outfits.
2:58
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, thank you. Can I talk about it
3:00
Speaker 5: really quick? Yeah? I designed this. It's one of one.
3:02
Speaker 6: It's my name on it, it's custom made.
3:05
Speaker 5: It is custom it's one of one.
3:06
Speaker 4: Here's me.
3:07
Speaker 5: And the inspiration was China, like the ceramic. So instead
3:12
Speaker 5: of like a big flag, I wanted something really cultural
3:15
Speaker 5: and tangible that people would be able to easily recognize
3:18
Speaker 5: and think, oh wow, that's like a Chinese element. So
3:21
Speaker 5: this is a dragon. It's embroidered with gold, and it's
3:25
Speaker 5: the blue and white like the ceramic. I also have
3:27
Speaker 5: a little compass and a thermometer here in case you
3:31
Speaker 5: get lost, I can tell you which way is north.
3:33
Speaker 2: Well rate my outfit? You're a supermodel. What do you think?
3:37
Speaker 2: I mean?
3:37
Speaker 5: I feel like it's super unique. If you're comfortable and warm,
3:40
Speaker 5: then it's a ten out of ten.
3:41
Speaker 4: I'm comfortable and warm, so that's perfect, fantastic, thank you.
3:45
Speaker 1: Not to be clear, this is an American born Olympic
3:49
Speaker 1: skier who defected to China, who's defending Hunter Hess. At
3:55
Speaker 1: the Winter Games, Goo was seen showing off not only
3:58
Speaker 1: your suit that was inspired by ceramics, but if you
4:02
Speaker 1: know the backstory, you'll understand even more of what a
4:04
Speaker 1: sellout she actually is. She was born and raised in
4:08
Speaker 1: San Francisco. She actually trained, Yeah, we paid for it
4:11
Speaker 1: with the US ski and snowboard team, and then she
4:15
Speaker 1: went to Stanford University. Quote as someone who has got
4:19
Speaker 1: caught in the crossfire before, I feel sorry for the athletes.
4:23
Speaker 1: I hope that they can ski to their very best.
4:27
Speaker 1: That was what she said when asked about the Olympic
4:30
Speaker 1: skier Hunter Has, who's taking heat for saying he doesn't
4:34
Speaker 1: really like, you know, representing America. She also took advantage
4:38
Speaker 1: of everything the United States had to offer her, then
4:41
Speaker 1: decide to compete for China and is defending Americans who
4:45
Speaker 1: say they have a hard time representing the US. This
4:50
Speaker 1: is exactly what the left wants. They want Americans who
4:55
Speaker 1: have disdained for America representing America. These are the same
5:01
Speaker 1: people that advocated for men playing in the Olympics. In
5:05
Speaker 1: women's sports, When you see an American skier slamming America
5:10
Speaker 1: and then pointing to the American flag on his jacket saying, well,
5:14
Speaker 1: it doesn't really mean that I represent, like, you know,
5:16
Speaker 1: the country.
5:17
Speaker 2: I'm kind of disappointed in it.
5:19
Speaker 1: There are cheers all over America by Marxists, socialists and
5:24
Speaker 1: communists that understand this is exactly how you tear down
5:29
Speaker 1: this country. Now you may roll your eyes and say
5:32
Speaker 1: this guy will be gone, but to be clear, he's
5:35
Speaker 1: going to have a major impact on young people. This
5:38
Speaker 1: American freestyle skier is important to young people. And he's
5:43
Speaker 1: a guy that well is saying you just be you,
5:46
Speaker 1: and you don't really have to be excited about representing
5:48
Speaker 1: your country at the Olympic Games. You know, He's just
5:53
Speaker 1: whatever I believe today is what I'm going to stand for.
5:57
Speaker 1: So here we are at the beginning of Thempics, the
6:01
Speaker 1: first week, and we already have Olympians that are doing
6:04
Speaker 1: these types of things. And why are they doing it,
6:08
Speaker 1: because there is a lot of Americans that are aiding,
6:12
Speaker 1: a betting and supporting and advocating for it and giving
6:16
Speaker 1: cover to it. By the way, which goes back to
6:19
Speaker 1: the headlines. I was talking about a moment ago, whether
6:22
Speaker 1: it is the Washington Post saying the US Olympic athletes
6:26
Speaker 1: expressing their views is as American as it gets. Saying
6:30
Speaker 1: American athletes in Italy are trying to handle their response
6:33
Speaker 1: to questions about well being American thoughtfully and carefully, is
6:37
Speaker 1: what the title of the article continues to write. We
6:41
Speaker 1: all know that's not actually true. They're also saying, well,
6:45
Speaker 1: Donald Trump decided to weigh in, so therefore we will
6:49
Speaker 1: fight back.
6:50
Speaker 2: I go back to the basics here.
6:53
Speaker 1: If you don't like the United States of America, then
6:57
Speaker 1: don't wear the American flag. If you want to be
7:01
Speaker 1: an American athlete, then be proud of America and be
7:04
Speaker 1: a beacon of light for America and freedom when you
7:08
Speaker 1: are overseas. This is also propaganda for other countries. You
7:13
Speaker 1: want to know where Hunter hass is the most famous
7:15
Speaker 1: right now in places like China, because they're broadcasting his
7:20
Speaker 1: words and they're telling his story, because they want the
7:24
Speaker 1: country to believe that America's greatest athletes are actually embarrassed
7:29
Speaker 1: to be on Team USA. I think it's sad that
7:33
Speaker 1: we're at this point. I want all Americans to do
7:37
Speaker 1: amazingly well at the Olympics. It's sad that the President
7:41
Speaker 1: United States of America even had to put out a
7:44
Speaker 1: statement about Hunter Hass calling him a real loser, says
7:47
Speaker 1: he doesn't represent his country in the current Winter Olympics.
7:50
Speaker 1: If that's the case, Trump said, he shouldn't have tried
7:53
Speaker 1: out for the team, and it's too bad he's on
7:56
Speaker 1: It very hard to root for someone like this. He
7:58
Speaker 1: then wrote, make America great again. And it's true. If
8:02
Speaker 1: you don't like America, then why beyond Team USA. This
8:08
Speaker 1: is what it's really all about. Finding athletes and having
8:12
Speaker 1: people that actually love and care about this country. That
8:16
Speaker 1: to me, is everything. That is what we should all
8:20
Speaker 1: be excited about. And it should not be controversial. I
8:25
Speaker 1: want to say that again. It should not be controversial
8:30
Speaker 1: to be proud of the country that you're representing at
8:33
Speaker 1: the Olympics. One thing you will not find is any
8:36
Speaker 1: athletes from China or Germany or Russia, even though they're
8:42
Speaker 1: not technically representing Russia, that are going to criticize their countries.
8:46
Speaker 1: You won't find athletes from the Middle East doing exactly
8:49
Speaker 1: what these American athletes are doing. Why because they don't
8:52
Speaker 1: have the cover to do it in their country, But
8:54
Speaker 1: in this country the media and the left. They wanted
8:58
Speaker 1: this by design, make no mistake about it. Tell you what,
9:03
Speaker 1: if you watch the Super Bowl, it was kind of boring,
9:07
Speaker 1: it was lame. The halftime thing we've already covered. But
9:10
Speaker 1: there is a bigger story that's coming out of the
9:12
Speaker 1: super Bowl that is I think one of those perfect,
9:17
Speaker 1: massive moments of warning that if you don't pay attention
9:22
Speaker 1: to what's happening where you live and who's running your city,
9:26
Speaker 1: you're gonna end up getting exactly what has happened in
9:29
Speaker 1: New York City with Mundani and they have like no
9:33
Speaker 1: trash pick up right now, and ice that's all over
9:35
Speaker 1: the place, and snow that's built up and it's turning
9:38
Speaker 1: into a disaster. You also have a mayor that after
9:42
Speaker 1: a robber hurts someone else, he defended the robber and said,
9:46
Speaker 1: that's the person needs help, not the person that was
9:49
Speaker 1: injured in the attack by the robber. That's who is
9:53
Speaker 1: in charge in New York City. You look at California
9:57
Speaker 1: and you see just the mismanagement with the wildfires out
10:00
Speaker 1: there is a great example. The mismanagement with the drugs,
10:02
Speaker 1: the mismanagement with a crime, the mismanagement with with you know,
10:07
Speaker 1: they have the safe needle places and it turns into
10:09
Speaker 1: a crack city. And we've seen San Francisco. We've seen
10:13
Speaker 1: what has happened to San Francisco. It is no longer
10:15
Speaker 1: a safe city. It is a disaster. Companies are closing,
10:18
Speaker 1: malls are closing, shops are closing, Crime totally out of control.
10:22
Speaker 1: They get to host the super Bowl, and what do
10:26
Speaker 1: you get for being at the Super Bowl? You get
10:29
Speaker 1: a tax bill that's more than what you actually made.
10:32
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you this incredible story that's come
10:35
Speaker 1: out from the New York Post and it's really gone viral.
10:38
Speaker 1: Sam Donald's insane California tax bill stunningly exceeds his Super
10:45
Speaker 1: Bowl winnings is the headline. Sam Donald's big Super Bowl
10:50
Speaker 1: win Sunday Night actually ended up costing the quarterback money.
10:54
Speaker 1: So he lost money playing in the Super Bowl and
10:56
Speaker 1: winning it for one reason, because of California's tax laws. Now,
11:02
Speaker 1: the Seahawks star will oh are you ready for this?
11:07
Speaker 2: More than one.
11:08
Speaker 1: Hundred and seventy eight thousand that he earned for helping
11:13
Speaker 1: Live Seattle to a twenty nine to thirteen of victory
11:18
Speaker 1: over the Patriots at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
11:23
Speaker 1: According to reports, Darnold's bill to the Golden State I'm
11:28
Speaker 1: talking to literally California, will be two hundred and forty
11:32
Speaker 1: nine thousand dollars. Following Seattle's latest championship, The outlet stated
11:39
Speaker 1: that the sizable check is due to California's What they
11:42
Speaker 1: have passed is a quote jock taxes like a jock,
11:47
Speaker 1: like a jock, like.
11:48
Speaker 2: Literally, you're an athlete, We're gonna punish you.
11:51
Speaker 1: It forces pro athletes who don't live in the state
11:55
Speaker 1: to fork over percentages of their yearly income based on
12:00
Speaker 1: the number of days they work in California. The days
12:04
Speaker 1: have been dubbed duty days, and after the Seahawks touched
12:08
Speaker 1: down in northern California on February the first, Donald and
12:13
Speaker 1: the rest of his team accumulated not one, not two,
12:16
Speaker 1: not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven,
12:19
Speaker 1: but eight days total by playing in the Super Bowl,
12:24
Speaker 1: say night, because when you land is when they start
12:27
Speaker 1: the clock. So you get there for all the festivities,
12:30
Speaker 1: and you get there for the week of the Super Bowl, right,
12:32
Speaker 1: they charge you for that. The Seahawks are expected to
12:36
Speaker 1: amass even more in twenty twenty six due to games
12:40
Speaker 1: they will play in the state next season. On top
12:42
Speaker 1: of that, their report is saying that those in the
12:46
Speaker 1: league are furious. Why We'll can go back to Donald
12:51
Speaker 1: who is in the middle of a three year, one
12:53
Speaker 1: hundred and five million dollar contract with the Seattle Seahawks.
12:56
Speaker 1: He will ultimately lose some seventy one thousand dollars for
13:02
Speaker 1: lifting his first ever Lombardi Trophy.
13:05
Speaker 2: Now this is insane.
13:08
Speaker 1: For the next sixty seconds, can you hit pause on
13:11
Speaker 1: your life and just think about this. Every day, millions
13:15
Speaker 1: of children face a crushing reality, a constant defeating message
13:19
Speaker 1: echoes and their empty stomachs and their desperate eyes. It
13:22
Speaker 1: is that you don't matter. Poverty doesn't just steal food
13:26
Speaker 1: and shelter. It steals hope, dignity, and the fundamental belief
13:30
Speaker 1: that they are loved. But there's another message, one of
13:33
Speaker 1: boundless love and hope. Through Compassion International, you can change
13:37
Speaker 1: the child's story forever. You can sponsor child just like
13:41
Speaker 1: I do. You can introduce them to a loving heavenly father.
13:44
Speaker 1: You can equip them with education, health care and the
13:47
Speaker 1: support to overcome poverty. This isn't just about one child,
13:51
Speaker 1: It's about transforming families, revitalizing communities, and changing nations. It's
13:56
Speaker 1: about proving that every child truly matters. So help give
14:01
Speaker 1: a child a future, give them hope. Visit compassion dot
14:05
Speaker 1: com today. That's Compassion dot com. I want you to
14:10
Speaker 1: hear what the sports talk stations were saying about this.
14:13
Speaker 2: This is a guy named Boomer.
14:15
Speaker 1: He has a show on CBS Sports Network, and this
14:18
Speaker 1: is how he explained the economics to the sports community today.
14:22
Speaker 7: For winning the Super Bowl, the winning team, each player
14:25
Speaker 7: gets one hundred and seventy eight thousand dollars. In other words,
14:28
Speaker 7: the Super Bowl isn't a part of their salary. And
14:30
Speaker 7: because the game was played in California. In California has
14:34
Speaker 7: a jock tax and they look at duty days. So
14:40
Speaker 7: each team spends seven days in the state of California,
14:43
Speaker 7: so those are seven duty days, and they pierce your
14:47
Speaker 7: regular salary at three point five percent, So he has
14:52
Speaker 7: to pay. When you take an account, he got the
14:55
Speaker 7: one hundred and seventy eight thousand plus his overall salary,
15:00
Speaker 7: he has to pay the state of California for spending
15:02
Speaker 7: seven days there two hundred and forty nine thousand dollars.
15:07
Speaker 2: That's just so stupid believe it.
15:11
Speaker 7: Ends up costing him seventy one thousand dollars the goal
15:15
Speaker 7: play in California.
15:16
Speaker 1: Now, if I'm the NFLPA, by the way, let me
15:19
Speaker 1: explain to you what the NFLPA is if you don't know.
15:22
Speaker 1: The NFLPA is the National Football League's Players Association.
15:26
Speaker 2: All right, that's what the NLPA stands for.
15:29
Speaker 1: And what you're about to hear Boomer talk about is
15:31
Speaker 1: if I'm a player, I would do everything I possibly
15:36
Speaker 1: could do to never play a game in California, and
15:39
Speaker 1: I would mandate that we never have a super Bowl
15:42
Speaker 1: there at all, because to go win a super Bowl
15:47
Speaker 1: and then have to lose money to play in the
15:49
Speaker 1: Super Bowl is total insanity. And again it's because in
15:55
Speaker 1: California they have passed the jock. So you're an athlete
16:02
Speaker 1: and we want to screw you to the point where
16:04
Speaker 1: when you play in the Super Bowl you actually lose money.
16:08
Speaker 7: Now, you got to remember it's probably even more than
16:10
Speaker 7: that because since he's in Seattle, he's playing, he's playing
16:14
Speaker 7: against San Francisco forty nine ers. That's another day he's there.
16:17
Speaker 7: And he's playing against the LA Rams, that's another day
16:20
Speaker 7: he's there. So he's probably had like nine or ten
16:22
Speaker 7: duty days or maybe even more than that in the
16:25
Speaker 7: state of California. So if I'm the NFLPA, I'm like, hey,
16:29
Speaker 7: we're not playing any more super Bowls in you know,
16:33
Speaker 7: in California.
16:33
Speaker 2: We're not doing it.
16:35
Speaker 1: We're just not doing it. Now, you think about this.
16:38
Speaker 1: If one day, right, you may not care as much. Okay,
16:41
Speaker 1: you're like, all right, I got two games there, I
16:43
Speaker 1: got to play, and so that's one day of your
16:46
Speaker 1: pay in the regular season. But when you have a
16:49
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, you're there for eight days. And when you're
16:53
Speaker 1: there for eight days, this is what it costs you
16:58
Speaker 1: another one put it out there saying it this way.
17:01
Speaker 1: So let me get this straight. The quarterback who wins
17:03
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl goes to communists California and loses money
17:09
Speaker 1: to play in the super Bowl while winning it. What's
17:12
Speaker 1: even more crazy is that those who lost the game
17:16
Speaker 1: will actually make more money than the people that won
17:20
Speaker 1: the game in California. I mean that could be true.
17:25
Speaker 1: By the way, Like if you lost the game, you
17:27
Speaker 1: didn't get the bonuses, then there's less reportable income, which
17:31
Speaker 1: means less of a tax liability, which means you may
17:34
Speaker 1: actually come out ahead because your bonus is only for
17:37
Speaker 1: the actual game day, right, The money you make if
17:40
Speaker 1: you win the super Bowl, that bonus, right is actually.
17:46
Speaker 2: For that one day.
17:47
Speaker 1: But they're charging you for eight days of your annual
17:52
Speaker 1: salary and they break that up. So in other words,
17:57
Speaker 1: what you're making your lump sum is tax, not just
18:01
Speaker 1: the bonus of the super Bowl.
18:03
Speaker 2: That's why you're losing money.
18:05
Speaker 1: If you really want to get into this, if you're
18:09
Speaker 1: a player that gets to go to the super Bowl
18:12
Speaker 1: and you don't make a lot of money, let's say
18:13
Speaker 1: you're special teams, maybe you're in the league minimum and
18:17
Speaker 1: you go to the super Bowl.
18:18
Speaker 2: It's your dream.
18:20
Speaker 1: You could actually bust a guy up financially over the
18:25
Speaker 1: eight days of being in California. And the quarterback here
18:30
Speaker 1: is just the perfect example of this. So I go
18:33
Speaker 1: back to this other note here because it's really interested, okay,
18:35
Speaker 1: interesting Here, Dart will receive one hundred and seventy eight
18:38
Speaker 1: thousand winners bonus, but owes California two hundred and forty
18:42
Speaker 1: nine thousand in taxes because he was there for eight days.
18:45
Speaker 1: That means he will owe more than seventy one thousand
18:48
Speaker 1: dollars for playing in the super Bowl and winning it.
18:51
Speaker 1: This is what communism, by the way, sounds like in
18:55
Speaker 1: real life. This is what Marxism and communists and so
19:00
Speaker 1: us do. They go after people that have money first,
19:05
Speaker 1: it will trickle down to the people that they say
19:07
Speaker 1: are safe. And when you do what I mean, I
19:10
Speaker 1: mean to even have enough people in the legislature to
19:14
Speaker 1: pass a quote official name jock tax, which imposes the
19:19
Speaker 1: highest income rate you can on non resident athletes participating
19:24
Speaker 1: in sporting events. If you want to destroy and I
19:29
Speaker 1: think part of is California's like, we don't care, Like
19:31
Speaker 1: we can get away with this because we're California. So
19:35
Speaker 1: we don't care that there's a little bit of bad
19:38
Speaker 1: press here because we're going to make a bunch of
19:40
Speaker 1: money off of them. Again, we don't care. I tell
19:43
Speaker 1: you this is coming to you soon if you don't
19:47
Speaker 1: pay attention. Donald Trump called the police about Jeffrey Epstein.
19:53
Speaker 1: We now are learning in two thousand and six. He
19:57
Speaker 1: also said that Maxwell was flat out evil. Donald Trump
20:01
Speaker 1: telling the Palm Beach police chief quote everyone knew about Epstein,
20:07
Speaker 1: and Maxwell is an evil woman now in two thousand
20:11
Speaker 1: and six, just as Jeffrey Epstein's criminal sex charge became public,
20:16
Speaker 1: Trump apparently called then Palm Beach police chief to tell
20:19
Speaker 1: him that Epstein's activities with teenage girls were well known
20:23
Speaker 1: in both New York and Palm Beach. Thank goodness, you're
20:26
Speaker 1: stopping him. Everyone has known he's been doing this. Trump
20:31
Speaker 1: told the police chief that according to a twenty nineteen
20:35
Speaker 1: FBI interview with the police chief contained in the Justice
20:40
Speaker 1: Department's Epstein case files, now, the interview, conducted in October
20:45
Speaker 1: of nineteen and not previously reported, has shed new light
20:49
Speaker 1: on what Donald Trump knew about Epstein in the early
20:52
Speaker 1: stages of the investigation in Palm Beach, Florida. It also
20:57
Speaker 1: makes it clear that Donald Trump wanted to stop Epstein.
21:01
Speaker 1: The FBI agents that were sitting with the Palm By
21:05
Speaker 1: police chief said that Trump revealed that Epstein's associate, Maxwell
21:11
Speaker 1: was Epstein's operative, and that Trump said she is evil
21:15
Speaker 1: and to focus on her. Clearly, Donald Trump was absolutely right.
21:20
Speaker 1: Trump told the police chief reportedly that he was around
21:23
Speaker 1: Epstein once when teenagers were present, and Trump got the
21:27
Speaker 1: hell out of there. The report states. Trump also told
21:31
Speaker 1: the police chief that he threw Epstein out of his
21:34
Speaker 1: Marlago club, that stands in sharp contrast to what the
21:38
Speaker 1: media has been reporting on Donald Trump, implying that there
21:42
Speaker 1: was something to hide, which brings us back to the
21:45
Speaker 1: White House Oval Office just the other day, when the
21:49
Speaker 1: President of the United States of America was asked about
21:52
Speaker 1: the Epstein files and the new documents that have been released.
