Hey everyone, it's Dave Chang. It's gonna be a little bit of an unusual week on the podcast.

We were scheduled to release a fascinating interview with Dr. Jim Kim, former president of the World Bank.

But we're gonna be pushing that back so I can address something I found out about yesterday.

I can't really talk about anything else after we found out about this crazy shit.

A sum of you may have heard or read Steve Ross, the real estate developer, investor, and owner of the Miami Dolphins,

is hosting a fundraiser for the Trump campaign this week.

The reason I bring this up is one of Steve's companies.

His investment arm, RSC Ventures, has made investments in numerous companies and sports teams around the world, including Momofuku.

I've spent the day checking in and discussing things with the teams around all around Momofuku restaurants

and collecting my thoughts, which I'll share with you now.

I want to start by saying this.

I personally am a staunch opponent to President Trump and everything he stands for.

I fucking hate him.

Anyone that normalizes gun violence, white supremacy, putting kids into cages,

his general lack of decency and respect for anyone else,

he is destroying our democratic norms.

I cannot stand behind him.

This is a complicated situation for me personally.

And I know it raises a lot of questions for the people who died in our restaurants and have supported us over the years.

Watch our shows and listen to this very podcast.

I want to get to all of that, but I need to address some of the things for the people that work for me at Momofuku or I peers in this industry.

I have always worked to champion a safe, open, diverse, equitable and inclusive world at Momofuku.
