Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am six to nine am
Eastern in great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast two three.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this togib
This is your morning show with Michael o'dale John.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I can't get him. I believe it's the descendant of
an earlier gnat. I killed his grandfather, and his descendants
have come to finish me off. You killed my father.
I have such a beautiful, quaint studio, and then every
now and then there's just one gnat harassing me seven
minutes after the hour. Thanks for waking up with your
morning show. Belongs to you, not to me, not to
(00:56):
the station you're listening on. By the phone that you're
listening on belongs to you, but not even the app
that you're listening to it belongs to you. Well, I
don't know. You might be renting right, Oh, he could be.
They always cut those you know, everybody has that phone
in their hand and nobody knows what they're paying for it.
It doesn't even matter. They found out in Massachusetts there's
(01:17):
like a billion dollars missing. They've been spending on illegals,
and we're all holding our phone. You know, the Vegas idea.
What the fees are or bag?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Is this a lease?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
If I get rid of it early, what happens, don't care,
but I can post where I'm eating. I was trying
to be eloquent. That's Jeffrey, I'm Michael. We're here to
serve you. It's your morning show. Thanks for waking up
with this. Former President Trump seems to have his agreement.
The debate is on, or, as we like to say,
(01:45):
let's get it on, Let's get it all, come out,
put him, let's get it out. You're gonna meet the mites,
you're gonna t your corners, You're not gonna have any notes.
I want to hear I want to hear him say
kaka one time, just like on Friday, the September tenth
debate is set for Pennsylvania. It looks like all indications
(02:06):
are Kamala Harris has gone back to the original rules
that she set. So I don't know if that's an
early victory for Donald Trump or a moment of conki
for Kamala Harris. Vice President Harris and her emotional support
VEEP Tim Walls are set for their first joint debate.
Interview her first. She's not even coming alone. She hasn't
(02:30):
done one up until now. I don't believe so, No,
not that I'm aware of noticed. I hadn't heard anybody. Oh,
you have been kind of the days either. Former President
Trump is adding Robert F. Kennedy Junior and former Democratic
Congresswoman Chelsea Gabbard to his presidential transition team. You know,
I said, put them both on a bus and send
them to swing states and let them campaign and prosecute
(02:54):
no matter who the puppet is, how much the Democrat
Party has changed and is the most undemocrat if democracy
is at stake, and lost already in that party. But
this is a huge appointment. This means they're going to
have a say in the policies of the administration and
the cabinet of the administration. Donald Trump is very serious
(03:17):
with these two in their alliance. You know, I was
for early on, very early on, I said, why don't
you just take RFK Junior right out of and put
him on the ticket and go for it. Take the
two party system and combine it in an American system,
putting the voters first. Then I moved up. There he is, said, Nat,
(03:40):
you know they don't like unlike flies, they can go
forever without landing. Oh you used to wait for a
yeah to have the tenacity of a neat this morning. Yeah. See,
there he is. But I can't get him. But I'm
too add to continue until I do. You need one
of those bombs, you know that you can just the
(04:00):
room with. I'd take him out with an F sixteen
if I thought I could get him anyway. But there
was a time I was hoping for RFK to be
the VEEP. Then for the longest time I thought Telsea
Gabbard was the obvious choice. He went with Jade Vance
and he's the president, former president, and potentially the next
president'sys progative. But in the end, perhaps RFK Junior and
(04:22):
Telsea Gabbard get a much more powerful role than even
VEEP out of this deal. And they just won't go
away right with the impeachments, with the law fair they
don't respect voters. There was a op ed piece that
I sat with it in my hand all morning and
I'm like, do I really want to go here? When
(04:42):
anybody waking up want to go there? And I just
couldn't grapple with it. But I will summarize it by saying,
it's an op ed piece trying to, in the form
of an argument, dismantle Donald Trump's. By the way, notice
that right they make it Donald Trump's. You're not the
(05:04):
United States of America. You don't have states' rights, and
people living in states their voice is not welcome or respected.
Never mind all of that in this piece. This whole
notion will let the states decide is a bunch of hogwash,
(05:25):
because in red states they won't decide. They'll decide for you,
as the op ed piece is trying to decide the
whole issue for you and dismantle the Constitution and states' rights.
I mean, you can't make this stuff up. But the
tenacity of the gnat and the left you have to appreciate.
They don't respect the will of the people. They prove
(05:47):
that in their primary process. Don't even respect their own voters,
let alone you. They don't respect the Supreme Court, they
don't even respect the branches of government for an administrative
state to be handed over to a global administrative state,
(06:09):
whatever it takes to get them there. And they've done impeachments,
character assassinations. Before this is over, we might even prove
an attempted assassination every day, like a faucet dripping drip, drip, drip.
(06:36):
What happened in July, and Pennsylvania looks worse and worse
and worse. Then there's the law fare. Then there's the
ruling of judges, the influence of Supreme Court ruling, none
of which matters. Special Council Jack Smith filed a superseding
(07:01):
indictment charging former president once again in his January sixth
election interference case, and SpaceX has delayed again. The overnight
launch aimed to creating a new generation of spaceflight. That's
a new generation of space We never launch. If we do,
you get stuck there. I'm trying to do. I got
a net on my tail. I tell you, I got
(07:22):
a net on my tail. What if the jokes that
mean there's more than one and they just all look
alike to me, that's probably the case, isn't it hard time?
If that were the case, So anyway, if I have
to boil down everything waking up to one of the
three big things that we should explore or make sure
(07:43):
we don't miss, one is going to be We wait
all this time for Kamala Harris to finally do an
interview and she doesn't come alone. I mean, what is
Tim Wallace her emotional support pet? I can go everywhere
with him, He's my second Gentleman's serious? I mean, I
(08:12):
don't know how they sat around in a conference room.
And what if I take Tim with me? Why bring
Jeffrey with me? By the way, I had a funny
thought about you today too. Oh wow, we're being ladies
and gentlemen. It might be officially an ad D Wednesday.
I was thinking, what if, like the NFL, we had cuts.
You had to worry about me cutting you today? Well, sorry, Jeffrey,
(08:35):
you didn't make the team. Listen, I take every play
as if it will be my your last. You're sife,
But it's kind of cruel, isn't it. They're all camp.
You don't know if you made the team. Seriously, that
is all of a sudden, you know this is we
need your playbook back to stuff up. You're leaving the coach,
(08:55):
Mike wants to see you invincible with Vincent. Coach wants
to see you bring your playbook. Michael wants to see
you bring the show sheet. Your so long with you?
That was kind of I don't know. I I had
five minutes to spare, so I was going through the cutlist, which,
(09:15):
by the way, half that cut list was half of
my fantasy football team last year anyway, But so, you know,
so now she's finally going to do an interview after
thirty something days. Even that, well, I don't know. They
kind of got away with it the first time, right,
Isn't that at the end of the day, what we're
really watching, I mean, you and me, we're watching this
in real time. Can you believe this? Our country became this?
(09:38):
So in twenty twenty, they did a shadow campaign to
save democracy, not to cheat an election, not to disrespect you.
It was to save democracy, you know, so they could
throw it away in this year's primary season. You can't
make this stuff up. But in that time in twenty twenty,
(09:59):
you hide shoe in a basement, you get him elected,
and then he doesn't even do a news conference for
sixty three days. People started counting at thirty don't no,
I have to you did it? And then when he
finally does, I covered it. Live hens Kamala the poison apple,
(10:21):
which is the border which now, of course they've somehow
pulled off the disappearing act, which goes to a new
level today. Now she's interested in a wall. But I
mean they basically hit him in a basement to get
elected in twenty twenty. They're hiding Kamala in plain sight.
He didn't do a news conference for sixty four days.
It's thirty one days or thirty two days in counting.
(10:42):
She still hasn't done an interview since becoming the nominee
apparent and now official. And when she finally does, I'm
bringing Timmy with met Timmy coming with me. I need support.
I need the coach with me. Do you think she
(11:07):
calls him timmy coach.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Or what?
Speaker 1 (11:11):
She probably just by seeing this in fight, No Kamal
here she calls him coach. Come here, a little hey, coach,
come here, a little man, Come me a coach. I
love this story. We'll explore it later on. I can't
imagine at a conference room table, you know, can I
bring Timmy? And they decided that was a good idea.
I just can't. I didn't if I have anything more to
add to that than that, and the I'm going to
(11:35):
be the president of the United States. I Can't'm afraid
to do an interview. I'm afraid to do a debate.
I'll do an interview, but make sure it's CNN, and
make sure it's Dana Bash pulls him around like a ragball.
That's my girl, Dana bad Oh, And can I bring Timmy?
(11:56):
You can't make this stuff up? How do you live
in Massachusetts? Takes a handful of Republicans to finally go,
are you kidding me? We just found a billion dollar
I remember when? Remember when a billion dollars was an
American budget, let alone a major state's budget. A billion
dollars alone in a secret migrant crisis spending account. You know,
(12:22):
there's two things you can count on never seeing what
an aborted baby looks like. God forbid you ever lay
your eyes on it. They can't create the myth it's
not life. They can't distance themselves from their judgment. They
(12:49):
can't hide and say it's just a hunk of tissue,
it's not a person. Yet. Oh you'll never see it,
and you will never see an accurate number of illegals
in this country or its cost. But you get a
glimpse in Massachusetts and it's a billion dollars they've been
(13:11):
hiding from their citizens. That's democracy. And of course the
Trump campaign is all over Mamala, Kamala's flip. Now, all
of a sudden, Kamala Harris.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
You know comic coma coma? Is he really singing this.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Early in the morning? Is he singing, boy George? It
could start at four forty five on some mornings. Well,
it has the past, that does Oh, now she's suddenly
for a wall on the border. You can't make this
stuff up. What he said at the end of this sentence.
I don't think he knows what he said either. I
(14:03):
think I was very clear that I think we're all
going to be a judge today. No, it's judge, not
let's g be judge. I think today we should judge. Okay,
I'm want to play you a clip of Jesse Waters
and you tell me if he was making a sexual
innuendo or a figurative analogy. I actually, I actually don't
think he was. I don't know what it says about
(14:24):
the minds of the other panelists on the five. But
it's got Jesse Waters in hot Waters as in he
might get fired, you know, can't have him rise, just
like we couldn't have Tucker got to get rid of him.
And is this how sensitive everybody's going to be if
we have a woman president? Who was it? They crucified
(14:48):
it with Sarah Palin? Wasn't it when she talked about
targeted districts and someone in their sick mind construed that
as she means like a military or like a rifle
scope target. She's inciting violence. Oh yeah, and you're like,
how do you get there? We're targeting the Tampa two
(15:09):
defense and the week secondary. You're going to kill somebody
in the second. No, we're targeting are from scoring. You're
trying to keep them scoring. So anyway, we'll let you
in the court or public opinion decide if Jesse Waters,
who can be inappropriate sometimes, was being sexual. I don't
think he was. But he's fighting for his job at
(15:30):
Fox right now. Or is I like to say, in
the media business, we're all just one sentence away from
losing our jobs. There's no business like show business, like
no business. I know this is your morning show with
Michael del Chona. One of the big stories. VP Harris
(15:51):
is finally going to do an interview, and she's bringing
her emotional support VIEP with her. Brian Shook has more.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
The pair will be interviewed by n's chief political correspondent
and anchored Dana Bash in an interview to air at
nine pm Eastern on Thursday. Both Harris and Walls are
embarking on a bus tour through Georgia, with the interview
to be the first time Harris has sat down with
a journalist for an in depth talk since President Biden
dropped his bid for re election. I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Meanwhile, Former President Trump says he's reached an agreement with
Vice President Kamala Harris's team for a September tenth debate
in Pennsylvania. It's the original agreement, the one they all
agreed on, no studio audience, microphones that will be shut off,
and standing with no notes. Former President Trump is adding
RFK Junior and Telsey Gabbert to his presidential transition team.
(16:44):
He means business with this alliance, and Former President is
giving Donald Trump is offering a chance to home pieces
of the Suity War during the debate with Joe Biden.
Trump announced that True Social that a card series called
America's First Collection, which includes fifty new Trump images. We'll
be going on sale, some of them with a portion
of the suit attached.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Hey, this is Mike the Baptist and Cotton Down Tennessee.
And my morning show is your morning show with Michael
will Jorno.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
We only get one chance to live this day, Rise
and shine and early bird gets the worm. Welcome to Wednesday,
August of twenty eighth, twenty twenty four, on the air
and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This is your
morning show and we cannot have it without your voice,
so feel free to chime in toll free one eight
hundred six eight eight ninety five twenty two one eight
hundred and six eight eight ninety five twenty two. You
(17:36):
can always email me the old fashioned way Michael D
at iHeartMedia dot com. We spare you the spelling of
the last name, Michael D at iHeartMedia dot com. And
of course, if you're listening on your iHeartRadio app, there's
a little microphone. If you press it gives you three seconds.
You hit record, you leave us a message, it comes
to us immediately. We can't talk back to you immediately,
(17:58):
but we can play your talk and get your opinions,
your questions, anything you want to add to the show.
After all, it's your morning show. Three really, actually, I'm
going to say four big stories today that are worth
(18:19):
kicking around. You know, it's one thing to choose somebody
to be your vice presidential running mate, and then it's
another too after your convention, have one of the major
independent candidates leave the race because they they so believed
in one side over another that they leave the race
(18:42):
and endorse your candidacy. And then a former opposing party
presidential candidate comes out indoor. I realized that that's pretty extraordinary.
Had Ross Perrout two months before the election, said, gee,
you know what, I see myself just as a spoiler.
So I'm gonna get out of the race and I'm
(19:03):
going to back George H. W. Bush for president. Look
at the chart. That would have been a game changer.
In fact, Bush would have got a second term. Now,
I don't know that this translates to a second term
for Donald Trump, but it's huge. But it doesn't stop there.
Then Donald Trump turns around and puts them both Tulsea
(19:26):
Gabbard and RFK Junior on his transition team. It's massive,
and you wonder what does it mean? Just what it
(19:47):
implies that they are going to have a say in
the policies of the administration and the choosing of the
cabinet and all the transition responsibilities. I mean, I was
sitting here thinking, in addition to talking to a NAT
but that's another story. I was thinking, there was a
(20:11):
time I wanted Donald Trump to pick our FK Junior
or pick Telsey Gabbard. Well, he may have picked him
in a way that's more influential than that he picked
him to be vice president. I put that in your
pipe and smoke it for a while this morning. And
then there's this story you can't you know for the
(20:34):
longest time, there was a time, jeez, I shouldn't say
that might break one of my commandments. There was a
time I didn't know if I was going to get
fired for making statements like I made. Let's leave it
at that. That's as specific as I'll get concerning not
my theory, not my wild imagine conspiracy theory. No, the
(21:04):
very people that strategized Joe Biden's twenty twenty campaign did
a manifesto after confessing what they did. I think because
they thought there was going to be a scandal and
if they got out in front and this was buried,
but they're on record, it'd be a great defense for them.
(21:29):
So Joe Biden wins the election. In February on the
fifteenth Time magazine after the inauguration does a peace claim
who went on to be the chief of staff involved
in it, all the architects involved in it, and they're
basically telling you everything they did. Well, we could just
(21:51):
see the inevitability of Donald Trump winning a second term,
and we just couldn't allow that. Oh, we weaponized COVID,
scared and controlled America, blamed COVID on Trump, cut a deal,
hit an old man in a basement, changed election laws
(22:14):
so we could harvest votes, deliver multiple mail in votes.
We controlled narratives to the media. That's in our back pocket,
and we silenced any opposing views by censoring on social
media because we got the technocrats all in our back
pocket too. We had conditioned America to rioting disruption on
(22:43):
the streets because we planned it insurrection if it didn't work.
So if we did the shadow campaign to save democracy.
And it works, we get rid of Trump, we get
control of the White House. If it doesn't work, we
have a planned insurrection. They even go so far glitterate
it for yourself. They even go so far as to say,
(23:03):
and they really struggled. I mean, it was everything because
they didn't really expect Biden to win, and then when
he did, they had to get the word to everybody
not to insurrect. But it puts the January sixth, quote
unquote insurrection and the perspective, doesn't it. They found a
(23:26):
way to win the race, call off their insurrection and
pin insurrection on Trump and insurrectionism on all Republicans. Well,
one of the pieces of that. By the way, I
also understand how controlling the narrative works. But it's funny
(23:54):
how when you speak the truth nobody can get you.
You have to painfully do it every time you bring
it up. It's not because I don't have other things
to say. It's this is how you do it. You
see how I just did that whole recap. I have
to do that every time so nobody can take it
out of context. This isn't me saying it. Go see
(24:16):
Time Magazine, Go see Ron Kling go see all of them.
And then yesterday, Mark Zuckerberg comes out with a letter
to the House Judiciary Committee admitting the Biden administration and
Kamala Harris pressured Facebook to censor Americans. The administration leaned
(24:42):
on the social media company's censure sensor COVID nineteen content,
and also acknowledged that it was wrong to block the
coverage of Hunter Biden's infamous laptop. In the letter, House
Judiciary Committee Chairman Representative Jim Jordan, Zuckerberg wrote well that
senior Biden administrative officials, including the White House, repeatedly pressured
(25:04):
Meta to censor content related to the coronavirus pandemic of
twenty twenty one, and said that he regrets complying with
certain demands. You're sure, Jordan, that Meta has put policies
in place to ensure that similar censorship of stories doesn't happen. Again,
does it really matter? Now? You know we said from
(25:25):
the very beginning, you can't hide Biden an abasement. He's
the president. So you put him on a debate, let
him fail, and show him the door. And now you
hide Kamala in plain sight though she won't make an appearance.
(25:47):
So Dana Oh, and Dana, can I bring kim But
you can't control narrative like he used to, And you're
sure us that can't control silencing opposition because Twitter's now
x and owned and protected for free speech. So what
(26:19):
difference does it make if Mark Zuckerberg comes clean now?
But if he is truly burned and getting out of
politics forever, will that that could be a saving grace.
And I'm gonna spare you the song, but somebody's got
to do a takeoff on Culture Club and Karma Chameleon
(26:39):
and make it Kamala Chameleon.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
Kma Kama Kama, Kama Kama Camellia.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Now she's for a wall. You wanna wall, you wanna wall,
just like you know, suddenly she wanted no Texas on
tips and I'm gonna build a wall on the border.
And what I do cannot bring Kimmy. And then in
(27:06):
Massachusetts they found a billion dollars in an illegal immigration fund,
a secret migrant crisis spending fund. A billion dollars. And
that's just the state of Massachusetts. I remember when a
billion dollars with the United States federal government budget. I remember,
(27:32):
like yesterday because it was almost yesterday. That was the
budget of any given state at the most a billion
a billion a loan from Massachusetts alone and a secret
migrant crisis spending fund. And it took Republican Party members
to ask for clarification hidden from the people who were
(27:57):
picking up the tab for that billion dollar. It's like
I told you two things that never want you to
see an aborted baby, what it looks like, whether chemically
or thro suction removed, And they will never want you
to see the accurate number of illegal immigrants in this
country and what it is costing all of us. All
(28:20):
they'll add up every other thing for you. I mean,
the old old set used to be, and I used
to do this with a gambling issue, a problem gambler
cross every taxpayer about three thousand dollars a year. You're
ready to pay three thousand dollars a year so everybody
can gamble online and lose their homes? Go for it?
Oh yes, what would the number be of what failing
(28:46):
to secure our border and enforce law and order and
protect our sovereignty is costing all of us. I mean,
you find a secret migrant crisis spending fun of a
billion time in Massachusetts alone, well, there's an eye opener
for you, ladies and gentlemen. It's official. It is now
a two cup of coffee morning. Hey, it's me Michael.
(29:08):
Your morning show can be heard live five to eight
am Central six to nine Eastern in great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio,
or Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and we're grateful you're here. Now enjoy
the podcast. Former President Trump says he reached an agreement
with Vice President Kamala Harris on the September tenth debate.
Tim Walls will be joining Kamala Harris when she finally
(29:30):
sits down for a CNN interview with Dana Bash. The
question was asked, can I bring Timmy, And apparently the
answer was yes. Her emotional support VEEP and former President
Trump has added RFK Junior and Telsey Gabber to his
presidential transition team. I'm beginning to one if that's more
powerful and influential than even being chosen to be a
(29:52):
vice presidential running Baite. Those are some of the top
stories waking up and then there's the reality of waking
up this morning with the cost of fast food in
increasing and the cost of casual dining being more and
more reasonable. How the restaurant industry is responding to changes
in consumer behavior. Well, I'm going to start with Aaron
Reale with my real life story. I cannot tell you,
(30:13):
with the exception of some really nice, higher end restaurants,
how many different restaurants we go to as a family
and it's the exact same price as if we went
to McDonald's. That's a big problem for McDonald's, right.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Oh yeah, they're on the losing side of things. So
if you look at these companies that are not doing well,
you have KFC, you have McDonald's, you have Pizza Hut,
kind of like the traditional the traditional fast food restaurants.
The ones that are doing well, Michael, is so indicative
of what you just said. You have Kava and Chipotle
and Sweet Green and wing Stuff, which I'm not familiar
with but apparently people love.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
Do you know that?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yeah, yeah, that's good.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
Yeah, up thirty percent this year.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
But the reason they believe this to be is experts
are saying, you know, with prices higher, it's thirty percent higher. Actually,
restaurant food prices from July twenty nineteen to this past July.
So with prices so much higher, that value equation it's
not in balance. So it's why a lot of folks
view these fast casual chains as a little bit more
expensive initially.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
So they're doing.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
Better because they're seen as a treat, and you know,
there's fewer expectations for very low prices. You go to
fast food not because you're like, oh, this is so
nourishing for my body. You go because it's cheap, it's convenient,
and it's delicious.
Speaker 6 (31:26):
But when you take those three elements.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Away, yeah it might still be good. But if it's not,
you have to hit all three. If you're not, people
are just going.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
To go, oh, okay, I'll get a burrita from Chipotle.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
At least I know the quality of ingredients are higher,
and it's Friday, so I'm going to go with that.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
I'll give you the exact analogy I was thinking of.
We have I don't know if you have steak and shakes,
but we have a steak and Shake. And for a
while it was run really poorly, and then new ownership
completely renovated, Sparkling Clean. They do the self kiosk and
the food is just really fast used to be really long,
and I mean, we go there, I get a delicious
(32:00):
cheesburger that I saw and watched be made fresh, fries,
has shake, and it's like ten Bucks. I couldn't even
get a quarter pound er value meal for that, And
so you know that one becomes a no brainer. But
I can't tell you how many restaurants we go to
with ten to thirteen dollars on trees. So that's one
thing after post COVID that's not going back exactly.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
And that's the problem. And now these companies, they once
they start losing market share, they're like, okay, now let's
make the adjustments necessary. And you saw that McDonald's now
bringing back the value menu. But what I found interesting
is that Starbucks is also on the loser list in
terms of losing customers. And that has a lot to
do with the fact that you know, people went to
Starbucks because you're like, this is a dignified coffee experience,
(32:44):
but they raise prices so astronomically that that like white
collar worker who needed the Starbucks in the afternoon to
pick them up and was willing to spend the four
bucks on it, like whatever, Okay, I need the coffee.
They are no longer there because you have an eight
dollar latte in a lot of like, absolutely.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
Not, I'm gonna drink the no.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
And then what they did was try to introduce these
hyper value menus at Starbucks, and people said, this is
an exercise. You know your customer. The customer said, what,
I would have just gone to dunkin Donuts.
Speaker 6 (33:13):
That's mine too, if I wanted to value you.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
It's like even a knock against dunkin Donuts is the reality.
You're like, I like dunkin Donuts too. I would have
gone there if that's what I wanted. And so they
kind of forgot their core customer. And now they've brought
in this new CEO and they're going to try and
go back to like the coffee roots and yeah, also
their savior, their lifeline. Bring back the pumpkin spice mid
August exactly year.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Actually, I was gonna do a different one. I was
gonna make a reference to you being gosh, I think
it's going to be almost twenty years younger than me now.
But there was a great song by it was a foreigner, right, Jeffrey.
The damage is done. Ooh, the damage is done. It's
too late. You know, you get these things fixed in
your mind and you you lose customers. It's hard to
(33:57):
get them back. It really, I don't know the new
point to say that was gouging or that was stupid,
but they're paying the price, and you know what, for
the health of obese America, it may be it might
be a hidden blessing. We're all in this together. This
is your Morning Show with Michael Hill, Joina
Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am six to nine am
Eastern in great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast two three.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this togib
This is your morning show with Michael o'dale John.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I can't get him. I believe it's the descendant of
an earlier gnat. I killed his grandfather, and his descendants
have come to finish me off. You killed my father.
I have such a beautiful, quaint studio, and then every
now and then there's just one gnat harassing me seven
minutes after the hour. Thanks for waking up with your
morning show. Belongs to you, not to me, not to
(00:56):
the station you're listening on. By the phone that you're
listening on belongs to you, but not even the app
that you're listening to it belongs to you. Well, I
don't know. You might be renting right, Oh, he could be.
They always cut those you know, everybody has that phone
in their hand and nobody knows what they're paying for it.
It doesn't even matter. They found out in Massachusetts there's
(01:17):
like a billion dollars missing. They've been spending on illegals,
and we're all holding our phone. You know, the Vegas idea.
What the fees are or bag?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Is this a lease?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
If I get rid of it early, what happens, don't care,
but I can post where I'm eating. I was trying
to be eloquent. That's Jeffrey, I'm Michael. We're here to
serve you. It's your morning show. Thanks for waking up
with this. Former President Trump seems to have his agreement.
The debate is on, or, as we like to say,
(01:45):
let's get it on, Let's get it all, come out,
put him, let's get it out. You're gonna meet the mites,
you're gonna t your corners, You're not gonna have any notes.
I want to hear I want to hear him say
kaka one time, just like on Friday, the September tenth
debate is set for Pennsylvania. It looks like all indications
(02:06):
are Kamala Harris has gone back to the original rules
that she set. So I don't know if that's an
early victory for Donald Trump or a moment of conki
for Kamala Harris. Vice President Harris and her emotional support
VEEP Tim Walls are set for their first joint debate.
Interview her first. She's not even coming alone. She hasn't
(02:30):
done one up until now. I don't believe so, No,
not that I'm aware of noticed. I hadn't heard anybody. Oh,
you have been kind of the days either. Former President
Trump is adding Robert F. Kennedy Junior and former Democratic
Congresswoman Chelsea Gabbard to his presidential transition team. You know,
I said, put them both on a bus and send
them to swing states and let them campaign and prosecute
(02:54):
no matter who the puppet is, how much the Democrat
Party has changed and is the most undemocrat if democracy
is at stake, and lost already in that party. But
this is a huge appointment. This means they're going to
have a say in the policies of the administration and
the cabinet of the administration. Donald Trump is very serious
(03:17):
with these two in their alliance. You know, I was
for early on, very early on, I said, why don't
you just take RFK Junior right out of and put
him on the ticket and go for it. Take the
two party system and combine it in an American system,
putting the voters first. Then I moved up. There he is, said, Nat,
(03:40):
you know they don't like unlike flies, they can go
forever without landing. Oh you used to wait for a
yeah to have the tenacity of a neat this morning. Yeah. See,
there he is. But I can't get him. But I'm
too add to continue until I do. You need one
of those bombs, you know that you can just the
(04:00):
room with. I'd take him out with an F sixteen
if I thought I could get him anyway. But there
was a time I was hoping for RFK to be
the VEEP. Then for the longest time I thought Telsea
Gabbard was the obvious choice. He went with Jade Vance
and he's the president, former president, and potentially the next
president'sys progative. But in the end, perhaps RFK Junior and
(04:22):
Telsea Gabbard get a much more powerful role than even
VEEP out of this deal. And they just won't go
away right with the impeachments, with the law fair they
don't respect voters. There was a op ed piece that
I sat with it in my hand all morning and
I'm like, do I really want to go here? When
(04:42):
anybody waking up want to go there? And I just
couldn't grapple with it. But I will summarize it by saying,
it's an op ed piece trying to, in the form
of an argument, dismantle Donald Trump's. By the way, notice
that right they make it Donald Trump's. You're not the
(05:04):
United States of America. You don't have states' rights, and
people living in states their voice is not welcome or respected.
Never mind all of that in this piece. This whole
notion will let the states decide is a bunch of hogwash,
(05:25):
because in red states they won't decide. They'll decide for you,
as the op ed piece is trying to decide the
whole issue for you and dismantle the Constitution and states' rights.
I mean, you can't make this stuff up. But the
tenacity of the gnat and the left you have to appreciate.
They don't respect the will of the people. They prove
(05:47):
that in their primary process. Don't even respect their own voters,
let alone you. They don't respect the Supreme Court, they
don't even respect the branches of government for an administrative
state to be handed over to a global administrative state,
(06:09):
whatever it takes to get them there. And they've done impeachments,
character assassinations. Before this is over, we might even prove
an attempted assassination every day, like a faucet dripping drip, drip, drip.
(06:36):
What happened in July, and Pennsylvania looks worse and worse
and worse. Then there's the law fare. Then there's the
ruling of judges, the influence of Supreme Court ruling, none
of which matters. Special Council Jack Smith filed a superseding
(07:01):
indictment charging former president once again in his January sixth
election interference case, and SpaceX has delayed again. The overnight
launch aimed to creating a new generation of spaceflight. That's
a new generation of space We never launch. If we do,
you get stuck there. I'm trying to do. I got
a net on my tail. I tell you, I got
(07:22):
a net on my tail. What if the jokes that
mean there's more than one and they just all look
alike to me, that's probably the case, isn't it hard time?
If that were the case, So anyway, if I have
to boil down everything waking up to one of the
three big things that we should explore or make sure
(07:43):
we don't miss, one is going to be We wait
all this time for Kamala Harris to finally do an
interview and she doesn't come alone. I mean, what is
Tim Wallace her emotional support pet? I can go everywhere
with him, He's my second Gentleman's serious? I mean, I
(08:12):
don't know how they sat around in a conference room.
And what if I take Tim with me? Why bring
Jeffrey with me? By the way, I had a funny
thought about you today too. Oh wow, we're being ladies
and gentlemen. It might be officially an ad D Wednesday.
I was thinking, what if, like the NFL, we had cuts.
You had to worry about me cutting you today? Well, sorry, Jeffrey,
(08:35):
you didn't make the team. Listen, I take every play
as if it will be my your last. You're sife,
But it's kind of cruel, isn't it. They're all camp.
You don't know if you made the team. Seriously, that
is all of a sudden, you know this is we
need your playbook back to stuff up. You're leaving the coach,
(08:55):
Mike wants to see you invincible with Vincent. Coach wants
to see you bring your playbook. Michael wants to see
you bring the show sheet. Your so long with you?
That was kind of I don't know. I I had
five minutes to spare, so I was going through the cutlist, which,
(09:15):
by the way, half that cut list was half of
my fantasy football team last year anyway, But so, you know,
so now she's finally going to do an interview after
thirty something days. Even that, well, I don't know. They
kind of got away with it the first time, right,
Isn't that at the end of the day, what we're
really watching, I mean, you and me, we're watching this
in real time. Can you believe this? Our country became this?
(09:38):
So in twenty twenty, they did a shadow campaign to
save democracy, not to cheat an election, not to disrespect you.
It was to save democracy, you know, so they could
throw it away in this year's primary season. You can't
make this stuff up. But in that time in twenty twenty,
(09:59):
you hide shoe in a basement, you get him elected,
and then he doesn't even do a news conference for
sixty three days. People started counting at thirty don't no,
I have to you did it? And then when he
finally does, I covered it. Live hens Kamala the poison apple,
(10:21):
which is the border which now, of course they've somehow
pulled off the disappearing act, which goes to a new
level today. Now she's interested in a wall. But I
mean they basically hit him in a basement to get
elected in twenty twenty. They're hiding Kamala in plain sight.
He didn't do a news conference for sixty four days.
It's thirty one days or thirty two days in counting.
(10:42):
She still hasn't done an interview since becoming the nominee
apparent and now official. And when she finally does, I'm
bringing Timmy with met Timmy coming with me. I need support.
I need the coach with me. Do you think she
(11:07):
calls him timmy coach.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Or what?
Speaker 1 (11:11):
She probably just by seeing this in fight, No Kamal
here she calls him coach. Come here, a little hey, coach,
come here, a little man, Come me a coach. I
love this story. We'll explore it later on. I can't
imagine at a conference room table, you know, can I
bring Timmy? And they decided that was a good idea.
I just can't. I didn't if I have anything more to
add to that than that, and the I'm going to
(11:35):
be the president of the United States. I Can't'm afraid
to do an interview. I'm afraid to do a debate.
I'll do an interview, but make sure it's CNN, and
make sure it's Dana Bash pulls him around like a ragball.
That's my girl, Dana bad Oh, And can I bring Timmy?
(11:56):
You can't make this stuff up? How do you live
in Massachusetts? Takes a handful of Republicans to finally go,
are you kidding me? We just found a billion dollar
I remember when? Remember when a billion dollars was an
American budget, let alone a major state's budget. A billion
dollars alone in a secret migrant crisis spending account. You know,
(12:22):
there's two things you can count on never seeing what
an aborted baby looks like. God forbid you ever lay
your eyes on it. They can't create the myth it's
not life. They can't distance themselves from their judgment. They
(12:49):
can't hide and say it's just a hunk of tissue,
it's not a person. Yet. Oh you'll never see it,
and you will never see an accurate number of illegals
in this country or its cost. But you get a
glimpse in Massachusetts and it's a billion dollars they've been
(13:11):
hiding from their citizens. That's democracy. And of course the
Trump campaign is all over Mamala, Kamala's flip. Now, all
of a sudden, Kamala Harris.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
You know comic coma coma? Is he really singing this.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Early in the morning? Is he singing, boy George? It
could start at four forty five on some mornings. Well,
it has the past, that does Oh, now she's suddenly
for a wall on the border. You can't make this
stuff up. What he said at the end of this sentence.
I don't think he knows what he said either. I
(14:03):
think I was very clear that I think we're all
going to be a judge today. No, it's judge, not
let's g be judge. I think today we should judge. Okay,
I'm want to play you a clip of Jesse Waters
and you tell me if he was making a sexual
innuendo or a figurative analogy. I actually, I actually don't
think he was. I don't know what it says about
(14:24):
the minds of the other panelists on the five. But
it's got Jesse Waters in hot Waters as in he
might get fired, you know, can't have him rise, just
like we couldn't have Tucker got to get rid of him.
And is this how sensitive everybody's going to be if
we have a woman president? Who was it? They crucified
(14:48):
it with Sarah Palin? Wasn't it when she talked about
targeted districts and someone in their sick mind construed that
as she means like a military or like a rifle
scope target. She's inciting violence. Oh yeah, and you're like,
how do you get there? We're targeting the Tampa two
(15:09):
defense and the week secondary. You're going to kill somebody
in the second. No, we're targeting are from scoring. You're
trying to keep them scoring. So anyway, we'll let you
in the court or public opinion decide if Jesse Waters,
who can be inappropriate sometimes, was being sexual. I don't
think he was. But he's fighting for his job at
(15:30):
Fox right now. Or is I like to say, in
the media business, we're all just one sentence away from
losing our jobs. There's no business like show business, like
no business. I know this is your morning show with
Michael del Chona. One of the big stories. VP Harris
(15:51):
is finally going to do an interview, and she's bringing
her emotional support VIEP with her. Brian Shook has more.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
The pair will be interviewed by n's chief political correspondent
and anchored Dana Bash in an interview to air at
nine pm Eastern on Thursday. Both Harris and Walls are
embarking on a bus tour through Georgia, with the interview
to be the first time Harris has sat down with
a journalist for an in depth talk since President Biden
dropped his bid for re election. I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Meanwhile, Former President Trump says he's reached an agreement with
Vice President Kamala Harris's team for a September tenth debate
in Pennsylvania. It's the original agreement, the one they all
agreed on, no studio audience, microphones that will be shut off,
and standing with no notes. Former President Trump is adding
RFK Junior and Telsey Gabbert to his presidential transition team.
(16:44):
He means business with this alliance, and Former President is
giving Donald Trump is offering a chance to home pieces
of the Suity War during the debate with Joe Biden.
Trump announced that True Social that a card series called
America's First Collection, which includes fifty new Trump images. We'll
be going on sale, some of them with a portion
of the suit attached.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Hey, this is Mike the Baptist and Cotton Down Tennessee.
And my morning show is your morning show with Michael
will Jorno.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
We only get one chance to live this day, Rise
and shine and early bird gets the worm. Welcome to Wednesday,
August of twenty eighth, twenty twenty four, on the air
and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This is your
morning show and we cannot have it without your voice,
so feel free to chime in toll free one eight
hundred six eight eight ninety five twenty two one eight
hundred and six eight eight ninety five twenty two. You
(17:36):
can always email me the old fashioned way Michael D
at iHeartMedia dot com. We spare you the spelling of
the last name, Michael D at iHeartMedia dot com. And
of course, if you're listening on your iHeartRadio app, there's
a little microphone. If you press it gives you three seconds.
You hit record, you leave us a message, it comes
to us immediately. We can't talk back to you immediately,
(17:58):
but we can play your talk and get your opinions,
your questions, anything you want to add to the show.
After all, it's your morning show. Three really, actually, I'm
going to say four big stories today that are worth
(18:19):
kicking around. You know, it's one thing to choose somebody
to be your vice presidential running mate, and then it's
another too after your convention, have one of the major
independent candidates leave the race because they they so believed
in one side over another that they leave the race
(18:42):
and endorse your candidacy. And then a former opposing party
presidential candidate comes out indoor. I realized that that's pretty extraordinary.
Had Ross Perrout two months before the election, said, gee,
you know what, I see myself just as a spoiler.
So I'm gonna get out of the race and I'm
(19:03):
going to back George H. W. Bush for president. Look
at the chart. That would have been a game changer.
In fact, Bush would have got a second term. Now,
I don't know that this translates to a second term
for Donald Trump, but it's huge. But it doesn't stop there.
Then Donald Trump turns around and puts them both Tulsea
(19:26):
Gabbard and RFK Junior on his transition team. It's massive,
and you wonder what does it mean? Just what it
(19:47):
implies that they are going to have a say in
the policies of the administration and the choosing of the
cabinet and all the transition responsibilities. I mean, I was
sitting here thinking, in addition to talking to a NAT
but that's another story. I was thinking, there was a
(20:11):
time I wanted Donald Trump to pick our FK Junior
or pick Telsey Gabbard. Well, he may have picked him
in a way that's more influential than that he picked
him to be vice president. I put that in your
pipe and smoke it for a while this morning. And
then there's this story you can't you know for the
(20:34):
longest time, there was a time, jeez, I shouldn't say
that might break one of my commandments. There was a
time I didn't know if I was going to get
fired for making statements like I made. Let's leave it
at that. That's as specific as I'll get concerning not
my theory, not my wild imagine conspiracy theory. No, the
(21:04):
very people that strategized Joe Biden's twenty twenty campaign did
a manifesto after confessing what they did. I think because
they thought there was going to be a scandal and
if they got out in front and this was buried,
but they're on record, it'd be a great defense for them.
(21:29):
So Joe Biden wins the election. In February on the
fifteenth Time magazine after the inauguration does a peace claim
who went on to be the chief of staff involved
in it, all the architects involved in it, and they're
basically telling you everything they did. Well, we could just
(21:51):
see the inevitability of Donald Trump winning a second term,
and we just couldn't allow that. Oh, we weaponized COVID,
scared and controlled America, blamed COVID on Trump, cut a deal,
hit an old man in a basement, changed election laws
(22:14):
so we could harvest votes, deliver multiple mail in votes.
We controlled narratives to the media. That's in our back pocket,
and we silenced any opposing views by censoring on social
media because we got the technocrats all in our back
pocket too. We had conditioned America to rioting disruption on
(22:43):
the streets because we planned it insurrection if it didn't work.
So if we did the shadow campaign to save democracy.
And it works, we get rid of Trump, we get
control of the White House. If it doesn't work, we
have a planned insurrection. They even go so far glitterate
it for yourself. They even go so far as to say,
(23:03):
and they really struggled. I mean, it was everything because
they didn't really expect Biden to win, and then when
he did, they had to get the word to everybody
not to insurrect. But it puts the January sixth, quote
unquote insurrection and the perspective, doesn't it. They found a
(23:26):
way to win the race, call off their insurrection and
pin insurrection on Trump and insurrectionism on all Republicans. Well,
one of the pieces of that. By the way, I
also understand how controlling the narrative works. But it's funny
(23:54):
how when you speak the truth nobody can get you.
You have to painfully do it every time you bring
it up. It's not because I don't have other things
to say. It's this is how you do it. You
see how I just did that whole recap. I have
to do that every time so nobody can take it
out of context. This isn't me saying it. Go see
(24:16):
Time Magazine, Go see Ron Kling go see all of them.
And then yesterday, Mark Zuckerberg comes out with a letter
to the House Judiciary Committee admitting the Biden administration and
Kamala Harris pressured Facebook to censor Americans. The administration leaned
(24:42):
on the social media company's censure sensor COVID nineteen content,
and also acknowledged that it was wrong to block the
coverage of Hunter Biden's infamous laptop. In the letter, House
Judiciary Committee Chairman Representative Jim Jordan, Zuckerberg wrote well that
senior Biden administrative officials, including the White House, repeatedly pressured
(25:04):
Meta to censor content related to the coronavirus pandemic of
twenty twenty one, and said that he regrets complying with
certain demands. You're sure, Jordan, that Meta has put policies
in place to ensure that similar censorship of stories doesn't happen. Again,
does it really matter? Now? You know we said from
(25:25):
the very beginning, you can't hide Biden an abasement. He's
the president. So you put him on a debate, let
him fail, and show him the door. And now you
hide Kamala in plain sight though she won't make an appearance.
(25:47):
So Dana Oh, and Dana, can I bring kim But
you can't control narrative like he used to, And you're
sure us that can't control silencing opposition because Twitter's now
x and owned and protected for free speech. So what
(26:19):
difference does it make if Mark Zuckerberg comes clean now?
But if he is truly burned and getting out of
politics forever, will that that could be a saving grace.
And I'm gonna spare you the song, but somebody's got
to do a takeoff on Culture Club and Karma Chameleon
(26:39):
and make it Kamala Chameleon.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
Kma Kama Kama, Kama Kama Camellia.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Now she's for a wall. You wanna wall, you wanna wall,
just like you know, suddenly she wanted no Texas on
tips and I'm gonna build a wall on the border.
And what I do cannot bring Kimmy. And then in
(27:06):
Massachusetts they found a billion dollars in an illegal immigration fund,
a secret migrant crisis spending fund. A billion dollars. And
that's just the state of Massachusetts. I remember when a
billion dollars with the United States federal government budget. I remember,
(27:32):
like yesterday because it was almost yesterday. That was the
budget of any given state at the most a billion
a billion a loan from Massachusetts alone and a secret
migrant crisis spending fund. And it took Republican Party members
to ask for clarification hidden from the people who were
(27:57):
picking up the tab for that billion dollar. It's like
I told you two things that never want you to
see an aborted baby, what it looks like, whether chemically
or thro suction removed, And they will never want you
to see the accurate number of illegal immigrants in this
country and what it is costing all of us. All
(28:20):
they'll add up every other thing for you. I mean,
the old old set used to be, and I used
to do this with a gambling issue, a problem gambler
cross every taxpayer about three thousand dollars a year. You're
ready to pay three thousand dollars a year so everybody
can gamble online and lose their homes? Go for it?
Oh yes, what would the number be of what failing
(28:46):
to secure our border and enforce law and order and
protect our sovereignty is costing all of us. I mean,
you find a secret migrant crisis spending fun of a
billion time in Massachusetts alone, well, there's an eye opener
for you, ladies and gentlemen. It's official. It is now
a two cup of coffee morning. Hey, it's me Michael.
(29:08):
Your morning show can be heard live five to eight
am Central six to nine Eastern in great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio,
or Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and we're grateful you're here. Now enjoy
the podcast. Former President Trump says he reached an agreement
with Vice President Kamala Harris on the September tenth debate.
Tim Walls will be joining Kamala Harris when she finally
(29:30):
sits down for a CNN interview with Dana Bash. The
question was asked, can I bring Timmy, And apparently the
answer was yes. Her emotional support VEEP and former President
Trump has added RFK Junior and Telsey Gabber to his
presidential transition team. I'm beginning to one if that's more
powerful and influential than even being chosen to be a
(29:52):
vice presidential running Baite. Those are some of the top
stories waking up and then there's the reality of waking
up this morning with the cost of fast food in
increasing and the cost of casual dining being more and
more reasonable. How the restaurant industry is responding to changes
in consumer behavior. Well, I'm going to start with Aaron
Reale with my real life story. I cannot tell you,
(30:13):
with the exception of some really nice, higher end restaurants,
how many different restaurants we go to as a family
and it's the exact same price as if we went
to McDonald's. That's a big problem for McDonald's, right.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Oh yeah, they're on the losing side of things. So
if you look at these companies that are not doing well,
you have KFC, you have McDonald's, you have Pizza Hut,
kind of like the traditional the traditional fast food restaurants.
The ones that are doing well, Michael, is so indicative
of what you just said. You have Kava and Chipotle
and Sweet Green and wing Stuff, which I'm not familiar
with but apparently people love.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
Do you know that?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yeah, yeah, that's good.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
Yeah, up thirty percent this year.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
But the reason they believe this to be is experts
are saying, you know, with prices higher, it's thirty percent higher. Actually,
restaurant food prices from July twenty nineteen to this past July.
So with prices so much higher, that value equation it's
not in balance. So it's why a lot of folks
view these fast casual chains as a little bit more
expensive initially.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
So they're doing.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
Better because they're seen as a treat, and you know,
there's fewer expectations for very low prices. You go to
fast food not because you're like, oh, this is so
nourishing for my body. You go because it's cheap, it's convenient,
and it's delicious.
Speaker 6 (31:26):
But when you take those three elements.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Away, yeah it might still be good. But if it's not,
you have to hit all three. If you're not, people
are just going.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
To go, oh, okay, I'll get a burrita from Chipotle.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
At least I know the quality of ingredients are higher,
and it's Friday, so I'm going to go with that.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
I'll give you the exact analogy I was thinking of.
We have I don't know if you have steak and shakes,
but we have a steak and Shake. And for a
while it was run really poorly, and then new ownership
completely renovated, Sparkling Clean. They do the self kiosk and
the food is just really fast used to be really long,
and I mean, we go there, I get a delicious
(32:00):
cheesburger that I saw and watched be made fresh, fries,
has shake, and it's like ten Bucks. I couldn't even
get a quarter pound er value meal for that, And
so you know that one becomes a no brainer. But
I can't tell you how many restaurants we go to
with ten to thirteen dollars on trees. So that's one
thing after post COVID that's not going back exactly.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
And that's the problem. And now these companies, they once
they start losing market share, they're like, okay, now let's
make the adjustments necessary. And you saw that McDonald's now
bringing back the value menu. But what I found interesting
is that Starbucks is also on the loser list in
terms of losing customers. And that has a lot to
do with the fact that you know, people went to
Starbucks because you're like, this is a dignified coffee experience,
(32:44):
but they raise prices so astronomically that that like white
collar worker who needed the Starbucks in the afternoon to
pick them up and was willing to spend the four
bucks on it, like whatever, Okay, I need the coffee.
They are no longer there because you have an eight
dollar latte in a lot of like, absolutely.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
Not, I'm gonna drink the no.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
And then what they did was try to introduce these
hyper value menus at Starbucks, and people said, this is
an exercise. You know your customer. The customer said, what,
I would have just gone to dunkin Donuts.
Speaker 6 (33:13):
That's mine too, if I wanted to value you.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
It's like even a knock against dunkin Donuts is the reality.
You're like, I like dunkin Donuts too. I would have
gone there if that's what I wanted. And so they
kind of forgot their core customer. And now they've brought
in this new CEO and they're going to try and
go back to like the coffee roots and yeah, also
their savior, their lifeline. Bring back the pumpkin spice mid
August exactly year.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Actually, I was gonna do a different one. I was
gonna make a reference to you being gosh, I think
it's going to be almost twenty years younger than me now.
But there was a great song by it was a foreigner, right, Jeffrey.
The damage is done. Ooh, the damage is done. It's
too late. You know, you get these things fixed in
your mind and you you lose customers. It's hard to
(33:57):
get them back. It really, I don't know the new
point to say that was gouging or that was stupid,
but they're paying the price, and you know what, for
the health of obese America, it may be it might
be a hidden blessing. We're all in this together. This
