Coffee-Themed Plane

Today on the Jimmy Barrett Show:

• Jet Blue and Dunkin Donuts collaboration

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Well, what we need is more common sense.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
The Youth Plan comment breaking down the world's nonsense about
how American common sense will see us through with the
common sense of Houston. I'm just pro common sense for Houston.
From Houston dot com. This is the Jimmy Barrett Show,
brought to you by viewind dot com. Now here's Jimmy Barrett.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Well, once again, I'm gonna start the show today with
something kind of fun. At least I thought it was
kind of fun. And I asked some of our listeners
on the Morning show and ktr H to weigh in
on this. And you should feel free too. You know,
you could always go to uh the kp r C
on the Iheared Radio ap k kPr C and comment
on anything I say on on our hour long show

(00:53):
here in the afternoon, including some of the things that
we also talk about in the morning. So this morning
I have a story jet Blue partnering partnering, pardoning, but
Duncan Donuts to inval a coffee themed plane. So Jet
Blue is sort of on a very small scale. They
should really consider doing this on a bigger scale. Jet

(01:15):
Blue has got a corporate sponsor in Dunkin Donuts, and
Duncan Donuts has the logo on the plane. I'm sure
this is something they're paying for, right. You're not going
to give a company of a free logo on the plane,
at least that wouldn't be a very smart business decision
if you did. So, maybe start to thinking, hey, does
corporate sponsorship make sense for other airlines? For example, United Airlines?

(01:37):
If they could get corporate sponsors for a lot of
their planes, might that help bring down the cost of
airfare a little bit? Because airfare I don't know if
you've priced airfare in particular overseas lately, but airfare has
gotten crazy expensive now. Maybe they're not worried about it
because most of these planes are flying full anyway, but
it sure would be nice if they could come up
with another revenue source other than you know, hitting us

(01:59):
with hidden fiees and all these other things they like
to do. This Jet Blue partnership with Duncan Donuts. They
have a plane now named Brewing Altitude. It's a new airbus,
a three to twenty aircraft covered with Duncan's bright pink
and orange colors, complete with a donut and a cup
of coffee on either side of the tail. Duncan has

(02:21):
been a part of the Jet Blue journey evidently for
about twenty years now. They've been doing this kind of
stuff and this is the latest incarnation of that. People
flying on board that plane get special coffee Dunkin Donuts
coffee free coffee donuts in a donut neck pillow. So
it's a way for Duncan Donuts to promote themselves, and

(02:44):
it's a way for Jet Blue to have something fun
on board, because, after all, flying has got pretty mundane,
hasn't it. I mean, it's a flying bus at this point.
Going to the airports like going to the Greathound station
back in the day. It's crowded, it's smelly, and and
there's not much fun. So it would be kind of
nice to bring the fun back into flying. Flying used

(03:05):
to be a big deal for people. It's not. Not
only is it not a big deal, it's a pain
in the butt for most people these days. If we
if you come up with the right corporate sponsors, you
could end up having a blest. Now I was thinking
this morning, you know, wouldn't you wouldn't you love to
be able to fly on a what a Burger plane? Yeah?
And eat what a burger food if you're if you're

(03:27):
in a coach, if you're flying in economy, how much
better would your experience be if you could have a
paddy melt or what a burger and fries no as
a as a free meal on your flight to where
it is that you're going. Now, I'm sure there's some
logistics they'd have to solve, you know, like, uh, you know,

(03:49):
how to how to keep that food fresh or how
to make it taste good? Because you know, if there's
anybody who can ruin the taste of food, it's an airline,
So that might be easier said than done, but it
be a lot more fun. How about like, uh, who
else can we get? Like I was thinking this morning,
Crown Royal. That would be a simple one to do,
although they're Canadians so they would probably want to sponsor

(04:11):
Air Canada. But you get on board a Crown Royal flight,
you know you're gonna have a good time. You know,
if they're serving up Crown Royal, Uh, that's some pretty
good that's some pretty top shelf hoops right there. That's
some good stuff. So I was kind of curious with
our listeners of what other suggestions they might be able
to come up with for corporate plane sponsors.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Morning, Jimmy Rick from the East Side. How about a
Hooter's plane. Wouldn't that be cool to have some Hooters
wings while lying in the air and the airline agendance.
You know, we'd have to have certain qualifications. Uh huh,
Have a good.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Day, Jimmy necessary fan Focher. How about a Bucky's plane?

Speaker 4 (04:52):
So what better corporate sponsor is there than BUCkies? Think
about it. You could fly to your destination, eat some breasket,
have a giant fountain, drink, shop for pool, toys, coolers,
household items, gifts, whatever else you need. T shirts for

(05:13):
every occasion, and be happy when you get off the plane.
This is Gina from Southwest Florida. Have a good one.
Good morning.

Speaker 5 (05:21):
This is Teresa from Snook.

Speaker 6 (05:23):
As far as corporate sponsors on an airplane, I'd love
to see Chick fil A.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Y'all have a great day. Bye.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
This is Jack in Connecticut.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
How about we use kt r H to sponsor a flight.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
Then they can use Skymike's voice and his verbis to
do the safety besidures in the beginning of the flight.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Have a good day.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
I hate to tell you but yeah, I'm pretty sure
we can't afford a plane. I'm not even sure we
can afford a plane ticket, let alone sponsor a plane.
But I do like what you had to say about
Skymike and his verbiage doing the same. That would you know,
the safety demonstration at the beginning of the buckle of

(06:03):
your seatbelt thing. That would be a whole lot more
entertaining if they had him doing that, wouldn't it. That's
for sure. Now there's only one fall. I love the
BUCkies idea. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea.
But there's only one fall I can think of with
the BUCkies idea, and this I think is the Achilles
heel is the bathroom on the plane. Airline bathrooms are

(06:26):
about as disgusting as you can get. If Buckis is
going to put its name on a plane as a
corporate sponsor for an airline, they're going to want to
make sure that that bathroom is as pristine as the
bathrooms are at actual BUCkies. And I don't think there's
any way that you could pull that off, you know,
those little tiny rooms, you know, with basically a glorified

(06:48):
portage on I don't think that BUCkies would want to
be associated with that, and honestly, I can't say that
I blame them for that, so that that's the only
problem with that idea. But if you have some more, hey,
email me Jimmy Barrett and iHeartMedia or again use the
talkback feature it either KTRH or KPRC on the iHeartRadio
app Back with Mortimoma Jimmy Baird Show. You're an AM

(07:10):
nine fifty KPRC. All Right, I just describe this next
seguents people making excuses or in this case, poor excuses

(07:34):
for things that they've said, or trying just to make
an excuse, you know, trying to get out from underneath
something that they've said. James Comy' is the first one
that comes to mind. James Comy has not retracted anything
or changed his story in any way about the eighty
six forty seven. He still wants you to believe that
he just randomly found this on the beach, took a

(07:57):
picture of it, posted it on social media, and didn't
really think about any potential violence implications. A story that
I find impossible to believe considering he's the former director
of the FBI, or anybody else who's got the logical
thought in their head, not that James Comy is necessarily

(08:17):
very logical. But he made an appearance yesterday on MSNBC,
and of course he went to MSNBC because why well,
because they're completely supportive of him and probably think the
same thing about the eighty six forty seven for Donald Trump.
So they're not going to ask any hard questions. They're
just going to let him make his statement. So I

(08:38):
want you to take a listen to so we'll have
some response, by the way, to what James Comey had
to say from Greg Guttfeld his only Greg Gutfeld can do.
But let's start with James Commy himself. Take a listen
to how he tries to position himself as he makes
an excuse for posting that picture.

Speaker 6 (09:00):
I was a grandfather and an author wearing you know,
sweaters and jeans, and then they went for a walk
on the beach and posted a silly picture of shells
to trace. My wife said, why would someone put an
address in the sand? And I said, I don't know.
And we stood over it and I said, you know,
I think it's some kind of like political message. I said,
Well to me, as a kid, had always meant to
leave a place to ditch a place. I said, that's

(09:23):
really clever. So then she said, should take a picture
of that is a goofball.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
I think that's the best way to describe it.

Speaker 7 (09:29):
And I get how people say this is overblown, and
that's completely fair if it's coming from the right, But
no one on the left can criticize this, Sorry, Jessica,
because how many articles were written about the Nazi origins
of the Okay sign and green frogs. You know, they
turned Tesla cars into justifiable targets of hate by linking

(09:53):
them to Nazism. You know, every single outrage linked to
existential threats was based on mind reading that they knew
somehow what we were thinking. So if you saw somebody
in a Maga hat, that meant they wanted to go
back to the era of slavery. They would make these leaps.
Remember the taco salad. You know Trump's eating gataco salad, Well,

(10:15):
that was an attack on Hispanics.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
To remember blood bath.

Speaker 7 (10:19):
He was talking about the economy in Detroit or Michigan.
And then they said, no, he was advocating violence.

Speaker 5 (10:25):
That's not true.

Speaker 7 (10:27):
So I think we have and I say we as
someone on the right have been dealing with this daily.
James Comey said that he's unbiased because as an FBI
director on Obama, he never played basketball with Obama. Now
could you imagine if Trump had said, you know, I've
never played basketball with Obama?

Speaker 2 (10:46):
They would say, oh, and have you not eaten.

Speaker 8 (10:48):
A bucket of fried chicken with him either?

Speaker 2 (10:51):
How dare you?

Speaker 7 (10:52):
But you know, it's like, we don't do that stuff.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
So you know, once in a while we can say this.

Speaker 7 (10:56):
Guy's a he's a fruitcake, a goofball, a nutshob, a wacko.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
And those are the medical terms.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
And those are the medical terms. All right. I want
to play just the James coming part of this again
and pick this apart just a little bit here, just
to just I mean, did you hear the way he
set it up? Let's listen to that part of it again.

Speaker 6 (11:18):
I was a grandfather and an author wearing you know,
sweaters and jeans.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
I'm a grandfather, I'm a grandfather and an author. I'm
wearing sweaters and jeans. What is what is that even
supposed to mean? I'm just I'm just I'm just like grandpa,
you know, I'm just an old guy, you know, I
walk around in sweaters and jeans. I ain't looking to
cause no trouble whatsoever. I don't know what everybody's making
a big deal about. You know, I'm just and what

(11:44):
else did? Let's play that again. There were plenty of
days in public when he when he was not the
best Biden ever. Sorry, that's the wrong that's that's skipped
to the wrong cut here. Let me try that. One
more disappeared on me. Okay, no, there it is. I
found it one more time.

Speaker 6 (12:01):
Grandfather and an author wearing you know, sweaters and jeans,
and then they went for a walk on the beach
and posted a silly picture of shells to trace. My
wife said, why would someone put an address in the sand?
And I said, I don't know. We stood over it,
and I said, you know, I think it's some kind
of like political message.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Did you just throw his wife under the bus. It's like,
I'm just, I'm just a grandfather and offer author and
my wife saw it. That's right. My wife, she's the
one that saw the seashells to begin with. If she
had point on, I would have never seen them, and
I certainly would never posted a picture of them. Nice job, James, Comy,

(12:39):
nice job. Okay, that I started accidentally playing the other
kind I wanted to play for you in this segment,
So I might as well go ahead and get that
now that that's the excuser. Number one is James Comy
trying to make excuses about you know, why he posted
that picture eighty six forty seven and how he still
claims he doesn't know that that means anything about violence,

(13:00):
you know, killing somebody or anything like that. Oh, by
the way, I saw and I wish I had the
audio from this one for you, but I saw another
video of James call Me at a book signing. You know,
there's a part of me the suspects that this has
as much it's equal parts hating Trump and trying to

(13:20):
sell books. You know, I'm sure that's got to be
part of it. But he's he's doing his book tour
and some guy walks up to him, and I don't
see anybody else around, so it's not like there's a
bunch of people asking for him to autograph his book.
This guy's walking up for an autographed copy of the book,
and he starts asking him about the seashells, and of
course called Me doesn't want to have to say anything
about the seashells and he better get used to that.

(13:43):
This is gonna be very uncomfortable for him making appearances
here for a while, all right, So that's excuse number one.
Excuse number two morning Joe Joe Scarborough over on MSNBC,
the guy who told us it's the best Biden ever. Right,
this is the best Biden we've ever had. He's he's

(14:04):
at the top of his game. You know, went out
of his way to talk about how great Biden was,
all the while obviously knowing that he wasn't. So he's
getting questioned about that. You know, why why did you
call him the best ever? He's obviously wasn't the best ever.
So here is Joe Scarborough trying to figure out how
to handle that particular question, making excuses for calling him

(14:29):
the best Biden ever. We get response on the other
end on the five from guest to panelist Kennedy. There
were plenty of days in public when he when he
was not the best Biden ever.

Speaker 5 (14:40):
Of course, he stumbled and he stumbled in But he
stumbled and bumbled around, Mark, I mean, yeah, he he
certainly did. Donald Trump did, other politicians did. But but
but it, and it's actually the same case as a
lot of times when I've gone in and talked to
Donald Trump. That didn't seem to me to get in
the way of of Joe buying being able to analyze

(15:03):
the most important issues. And I certainly think he has
a better grasp on it than probably the overwhelming majority
of his critics there certainly did when I spoke with him.

Speaker 9 (15:13):
Joe Scarborough is in denial and his words will come
back to haunt him for as long as he is
on the air, because he was the guy, and he's
trying to kind of shelac it, gloss over it a
little bit right now, give it a favorable finish, which
isn't going to do any good because when you go
back and look at the original tape, he's like, this
is the best Joe Biden, and he keeps going back

(15:33):
to analysis, like his analysis is spot on, he is sharp,
he is fast, and it's like, no, he was a
withering vegetable who had real problems and everyone around him
knew it. And now they're all going on and off
the record to a number of different authors. We've got
four books in counting about Biden's cognitive decline, to tell

(15:55):
the opposite picture of the magical interactions that Joe Scarborough
and Joe Biden had, which you know, all you had
to do was look at Joe Biden every other second
of the day to know that something was terribly wrong.
And the prostate cancer metastatic prostate cancer. That diagnosis is
awful and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. You know,

(16:19):
it's terribly sad and concerning that a family has to
deal with something like that, But they have managed to
politicize it, and you have to think logic would dictate
that they've known about that diagnosis for a long time.
It is incredibly inconvenient for his post presidency because the
other post presidencies have been very lucrative in modern history,

(16:40):
and he will not get to enjoy that. And so
it feels like they kind of put that news in
there too, because they were bookended by the her tapes
and of course the book that came out today, Original Sin,
and they both draw a very damning portrait.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
So is this news coming out now an attempt to
gain our sympathy, because you got to feel sorry for
somebody with prostate cancer, right, it's hard to criticize somebody
who has prostate cancer. And if you do, then then
obviously you're a horrible, despicable nazi of a human being
if you do so. Let me ask you this though,

(17:18):
because you hear did you hear the latest claim? The
latest claim is that Joe Biden hasn't had a PSA test,
that's where they test for prostate cancer. He hasn't had
a PSA test in ten plus years. That's the claim.
He's an old man. He was President of the United

(17:38):
States for four years. He has his own White House physician.
He's tested yearly, although it's pretty clear that they were
sitting on a lot of results of testing and not
telling the American public about it. But do you buy
the line that as president of the United States he
was never given a PSA test? Do you buy the

(17:58):
idea that an eight he basically an eighty year old
man hasn't had a PSA test in over ten years,
because I find that virtually impossible to believe. So the
lives continue and the cover up continues. Back with in
a moment Jimmy Barrett Schow here in the nine fifty KPRC.

(18:33):
All right, so Frendident Trump went to Capitol Hill yesterday,
and he was he was walking around with the Speaker
of the House, Mike Johnson, and Mike Johnson was you know,
dutifully standing by and you know, nodding his head. I
didn't really hear him say much, but nodding his head

(18:53):
at the appropriate moments. So you got that going for you.
The message was pretty clear. He was going to visit
members of the House, and the reason why he's going
to visit members of the House is that he has,
you know, five or six people who are problems when
it comes to getting the Big Beautiful Bill passed. And

(19:15):
I think he just kind of went there to do
what he does, persuade them to vote in favor of
it and why they should vote in favor of it,
and maybe make a few threats if they don't. You know,
people like Chip Roy, who we've had on our program
on the ktr H many many mornings. You know, Chip
Roy doesn't like certain aspects of the Big Beautiful Bill,

(19:37):
wants them changed, or he's not going to support it. Now,
who knows what I'm guessing Chip Roy was one of
the people that President Trump visited with yesterday. Who knows
how effective that visit was as far as changing his mind.
I guess time will tell. We'll find out, won't we.
But there was one moment, the several moments actually where

(19:58):
the press was allowed to ask President Trump questions, and
one of the questions that came up was what we
were just talking about in our second segment today about
the cover up, the big cover up of Biden's health
and all this stuff is now coming out, including information
that many executive orders and pardons, presidential pardons were signed

(20:22):
by autopen and likely we're not signed by Joe Biden,
and perhaps we're signed without the knowledge of Joe Biden.
Here's what the President had to say about that.

Speaker 10 (20:31):
We're going to start looking into this whole thing with
who signed this legislation?

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Who signed legislation opening our border.

Speaker 10 (20:37):
I don't think she knew. I said there's nobody that
would want an open border. Nobody did. And now it's
find out that it wasn't in He autopended who was
operating the autopen, No saying person who was signed, you know,
signed it, radical left lunatics that were running our country
and the autopen signed it, and they didn't want him
and they were disappointed in getting him because they wanted

(20:59):
Bernie Sander's and then after about two weeks they said,
wait a minute, this is a gift.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
I think, yeah, he'll do anything, or at least he
won't know what we're doing, and then we can blame
him and we can just go ahead and and and
do whatever we want to. That is not you know,
there are people going to say, that's crazy talk. That
couldn't have happened. I'm here to tell you, I'm damn

(21:27):
sure did. I'm sure there were a lot of things
that were signed by the Biden administration that Joe Biden
knew absolutely nothing about. How do you go from being
a so called moderate to being the most you know,
left progressive president in our nation's history by having somebody
else and their policies implemented versus your policies. Not hard

(21:51):
to believe at all that this president probably had no
clue about many of the things that were going on
with his administration. He probably still doesn't know many of
the things that happened during his administration. All right, To
get back though, to the visit to Congress. The purpose
behind the visit is to try to get the support
necessary to pass that big, beautiful bill, and of course

(22:14):
the Congressional Budget Office came out with some figures that
shows it heading something like three trillion dollars to the
national debt over the next ten years. But there's a
lot of information that is not considered by the Congressional
Budget Office in coming up with that figure. So I
saw the chair of the Council of Economic Advisors. His

(22:34):
name is Steve Miron. I saw him on Fox Business
talking about the real numbers that go along with the
Big Beautiful bill, should it happen to get past what
it does for our economy.

Speaker 8 (22:46):
The Council of Economic Advisor has just put out a
white paper. It's on our website, you can get at
the CAA website on the White House the White House website,
and we found exactly what you said that over the
next four years, the tax bill, the one big beautiful bill,
would would boost GDP the economy by about four point
two to five point two percent over the next four
years relative to what happens if the bill doesn't pass.

(23:06):
It'll create about seven million new jobs, and it'll boost
take home pay for a typical family of four take
home pay by about eight thousand to thirteen thousand dollars. Right, So,
these are very significant growth effects, and that's why it's
so critical that we get this bill over the line.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
So help me out on this. I don't understand.

Speaker 11 (23:23):
I keep reading in various publications at Wall Street Journal,
in Alstroyd, the news pages of these papers that the
Republican plan is going to increase deficits by three trillion
dollars over the next ten years.

Speaker 8 (23:40):
But I think it's really unfortunate that this conversation tends
to be dominated by the CBO scoring process because the
Congressional Budget Office leaves out so much when they're calculating
their scores. Here's all the things they leave out that
are going to bring the deficit way down. They leave
at the fact that this that this bill is going
to boost growth. It's going to boost economic growth, which
is huge. We get economic growth to three percent. It
creates we're trillion new revenues over a decade, right, that's

(24:02):
number one. Number two is tariff revenue. We're taking in
hundreds of billions on the on an annualized basis of
tariff revenue. That brings down deficit. Another percentage point of GDP.
Number three is going to be interest expenses this bill
and deregulation together kill inflation. By pushing out the suppli
side of the economy.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
We kill inflation completely.

Speaker 8 (24:21):
That allows interest rates to come down if they come
down to where they were before COVID. That's another point
at least off the deficit. And then there's custom waste,
fraud and abuse. Between all these things, we can reduce
deficit by about three to four percentage points worth of GDP.
This is huge, and none of it's in the scoring process.
So it's really unfortunate that the CBO scoring process dominates
the conversation.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
You know, I understand why some of it is not
in the scoring process. It's pretty tough to consider the
tariffs when we don't really know what the ultimate tariffs
are going to be. We know what we've made so far,
but we don't have deals with a bunch of countries yet.
We don't know for sure exactly what that revenue stream
looks like. It is a revenue stream. It should be

(24:59):
considered somehow, but I can understand why they're hesitant to
use that. We don't know if interest rates when interest
rates will come down, so it's difficult to use that
as well. So I get it to a certain extent.
But you also have to consider the fact that you
know there are going to be offsets. We know already
how much. You know how many billions we're saving thanks

(25:22):
to Doge. We don't know yet how much more we're
going to save, but you have to assume we're going
to be saving some more. So I get what he's
saying that we're not really we're not really considering all
the other things that are that are going on that
are going to reduce the deficit. But anyway, we'll see
if that big beautiful bill gets passed. Our next show
with you is going to be coming up on Tuesday,

(25:44):
where I'm off. Tomorrow and Friday, we have best of
shows for you Monday, we have some special shows for
Memorial Day. We'll be back on Tuesday. Maybe we'll have
a big beautiful bill passed by the House by then.
I'm not going to hold my breath, but hopefully so. Hey, listen, y'all,
have a great holiday week. My last chance to tell
you that, enjoy your Memorial Day weekend. I will see

(26:05):
you Tuesday morning, bright and early five am. In the meantime,
enjoy the best of us tomorrow and Friday. See you Tuesday,
