Jennifer Say is here, the CEO of XXXY Athletics, author, filmmaker, business executive, retired national champion gymnast.
Although she might go come out and maybe start competing again, is there a chance to no way. My body is no balance beam, no uneven bars? I can barely walk. Oh, really?
Okay.
So Jennifer, and b b by the way, you made uh you were CEO of Levi's too. Right. I was the president and almost CEO. Almost CEO.
So now you're launching this brand new brand, and I want to talk about that. But first, you just moved from California to Colorado. Better? It is better. I moved four years ago.
People say to me all the time, you just went from, you know, out of the frying pan into the fire, it's the same. I don't think it's the same. I think there's hope for Colorado. There's a real libertarian streak there that you don't have in California. I noticed a couple of years ago, I went to Denver, and the first time I saw it was like 20 years ago.
They were doing. Olympic Sports Festival was out there. Yeah, because it's in Colorado Springs. And I went out there, I go, wow, Denver's beautiful. It's like they shrink-wrapped it every night.
And then I went back a couple of years ago and I saw so many empty stores and so much homeless. And people say, Yeah, you don't want to walk around at night around here. Yeah, I'm not saying it's perfect, but it is. Nothing compared to San Francisco and how awful which is where I lived. I mean is this mayor helping San Francisco, this new mayor?
Daniel Lurry? I don't know. I don't live there anymore. I mean, I hear both sides. I hear some people saying it's better.
He definitely is connected to the business community and knows that that needs to be revived. I mean, there's no downtown. You know, it took four or five years for the them to send people back to work in offices from COVID. Which is insane. I mean, when Lurie took office, which was just a few months ago, he just now called.
For city employees to go back to the office to go to work.
So it killed the downtown. All those local rest, those lunch shops closed, the restaurants closed, the homeless took over, drug using homeless took over, 50% of the storefronts closed down and are boarded up in downtown San Francisco. It's incredible. And now the 49ers have all those injuries on top of that, but unrelated.
So, Jennifer, the other thing about. The other thing about Colorado in particular, you just would tell me about the misgendering. I thought you were kidding. No, no. It's a law now.
A law just was signed by Governor Polis. Misgendering is a crime. And there's several applications here. We are actually suing my business, XX, XY Athletics, is suing the state of Colorado because there's this sort of public accommodations. You know, that's the language they use that an individual is.
should be free from being misgendered and discriminated against in public.
So if I have a pop up shop and somebody comes into my shop and I say, can I help you, sir? And it is a man in a dress that thinks he's a woman, I could be criminally charged. That's so insane. I know, even Gavin Newsom wouldn't sign a law like this into I mean, literally he didn't sign a law like this into being.
So Colorado's lost its mind. There's several lawsuits against the state on this one. Because the other application is a child can be taken from the home if a parent does not affirm.
So the kid comes home at 14 years old and says, I want to be but the boy wants to be a girl, and the parent says, No, you're not, they might take the kid. Yeah, if the school finds out, if child protective services find out, they could, or in a custody battle if one parent affirms and the other doesn't. Unbelievable.
So we just found out that transgender, the whole thing is plummeting big time. It has a lot to do, I think, with people waking up and sobering up. Transgender identification and free fall among young Americans. And they just analyzed data from 2025 and compare it. It was down to up 90% now, down to 3%.
Right. This is youth among youth. Yeah, it was a trend. And unfortunately, some children permanently altered their bodies. Too late for them.
Too late for them. Yeah, but a lot of them were for some reason, there's an inordinate amount of celebrities doing this. Why would everyone say that? To be cool, to show you're tolerant. It's a yeah, it's a big virtue signal.
To have a child that is trans and be a celebrity, it's like carrying an Hermes Birken bag, I think, these days. A couple of things. Let's talk about your business, XXXY. With it, you have there's a lot of challenges in the clothing industry and making things here. Have you been able to make things here?
We make our hats in America. Basically, we make accessories in America, hats and water bottles. We have an amazing water bottle manufacturer, and we're working really hard to bring more manufacturing for our t-shirts and our performance wear into America. It's tough. There's not a ton of capacity, there aren't a lot of factories, and there's not a lot of capability.
There just aren't sewing machine manufacturers here even anymore because all the factories left 25 years ago.
So I think there's going to be increasing demand for made in the USA, and more people are going to build factories. I think we'll be able to do it. But it's not something you can do overnight.
Well, but that's why the tariffs really affect you guys. How is it affected? It impacts us for sure, but that's okay. We're not raising prices. Right.
Is it hard? And you would like to, this is what I've heard from CEOs. Is they said that we just like to know where it's going. Like not knowing in the change is so hard to budget. We've just built in increased pricing and assumed slightly lower margins for the time being.
You know, we're just starting out. We're only 18 months old. I assume I'm going to gain all of that back with scale. Yeah. As my cost of goods goes down with scale, I'll gain all that margin back.
And I had strong margins. I'm not going to pass this on to the customer. I'm going to work on figuring it out myself, bringing down my cost of goods, bringing more manufacturing here into the United States, and we'll work it out over the next two years. I also noticed, too, is that people. People are moving, looked at it, get out of China, and Vietnam might be an alternative.
We don't make anything in China. That's my rule. No China. There's no transparency. You can't you're not allowed in the factories there.
We visit every single factory. We know the people who make our products. We see the working conditions. We feel good about the working conditions. You can't do that in China.
For me, that's just A non-starter. But Vietnam has great capability in terms of performance, innovation, those fabrics.
So we do make some stuff there. How do you think the administration's doing? I'm all in. Yeah. So far so good.
I mean, what just happened in Israel? You know, that's amazing. I think it's incredibly sad. There's only 20 remaining hostages alive, but what a gift that they're home. Right.
And some did come home earlier. Just some people, I'm just amazed, will still even find something negative to say. For example, I saw that Martin Sheen, of all people, do we have that clip? Of Martin Sheehan. This is what his advice to President Trump.
You've got to realize, sir, that you are the biggest nothing in the world. Do you stop listening to all these people around you, these sycophants? Who are encouraging you to be your non-human self. Get in touch with that humanity. Stop fussing with your hair.
Don't worry about your time. And stand up straight and speak clearly, not from your throat. Speak from your heart. And start being human. That's what you were made for, not golf.
So there you are, Mr. President, with all due respect, sir. And of course he played the president, so he's an expert.
Well, yeah, he was on the West Wing, a show which I actually did enjoy. You know, it's insane. They can't grant him the release of the hostages and a. Essentially, brokering what we hope will be long-term peace. They can't grant the man this.
No one's been able to do it. I think that also blows people away: on the world stage, they kind of like him. You have these leaders liking him. The Arab world likes him. He's the Palestinians who are chanting his name in Gaza.
And then, of course, in Tel Aviv, his approval rating is about 99%. It makes him crazy. Right. Meaning the Americans who hate him. Yeah, it makes them absolutely bonkers.
It's hilarious. They cannot understand. That people actually respect and like him and find him sort of charming.
So, we have somebody, we're going to have a debate tomorrow. There's going to be two debates, but there's going to be a debate tomorrow on the mayor's race. It's going to be Curtis Liwa, it's going to be Andrew Cuomo, and it's going to be Mondami. He's going to be here today speaking with Martha McCallum. What's your take on this race?
Well, I try not to pay too much attention because I don't live here, but I have and it enrages me. I mean, Mom Dani's way ahead, 13, 18 points, depending on the poll you look at. I do have two children that live here.
So, you know, I do pay some attention. They'll be able to vote. Yes, they're both in their twenties, and my brother-in-law and sister-in-law live here. Look, I think he's a horrible candidate. And I don't like Cuomo.
I can't stand Cuomo. He was horrible on COVID, as we all know, but I think I would be forced to possibly vote for him if I was here, although because I don't think Sleewa has a chance. Mom Donnie, where do we start? He wants to spend sixty five million dollars to allow young people to change their sex, which is impossible. He wants to take taxpayer money to do that.
He wants to kill gifted and talented programs in the public schools. And charter schools. Which, by the way, That happened in San Francisco. The killing of the gifted and talented, and just obliterating the magnet schools for academic excellence. It was such a disaster.
They had to reverse course. It doesn't work anywhere. Don't you want to give these exceptional children an opportunity? We just want to tell them they can't excel. It's socialists and communists don't see it that way.
But and this man went to one of the most elite magnet schools in the city, Bronx Science. While living in a rent-controlled apartment. And now he wants to snatch that ladder up right behind him. It's crazy. Jennifer, continue success with XXXY Athletics.
Hope everyone will go get all your apparel. It's great to have you here today. Thanks for having me. And tell your kids how to vote. All right.
