Speaker 1 (00:20):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I have Tom chillou in for Greg on this very
special edition of Gutfeld. Let's kick things off with some
headlines today. President Trump held his seventh Cabinet meeting in
seven months, many more than his predecessor. He also had
far fewer accidents on the rug. The DNC reportedly agreed
to pick up Kamala Harris's twenty million dollar outstanding campaign
(00:44):
tab as part of a handshake deal, and her husband
Doug will receive a nanny to be named later. Following
RFK Junior and Pete Heggsat's fitness challenge, the New York
Times is warning that doing one hundred pushups and fifty
pull ups could be dangerous, which would make this man
the safest person alive. To prepare for future trips, a
(01:11):
NASA cru is undertaking a three hundred and seventy eight
day mission to simulate the conditions on Mars. The crew
is so isolated and alone, they say it's a lot
like being in the audience at a Joe Mackie show.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I just wanted to see his face.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Chicago Mayer Brandon Johnson said that if President Trump sent
the National Guard to clean up his city, the people
would rise up. He wanted to say more, but he
had to duck behind the left, turn and take cover.
Illinois Governor JB. Pritzker says he is taking names of
anyone who supports President Trump in his efforts to fight
(01:50):
crime in Chicago. Not surprisingly, he's also taking names of
anyone who can make a kick ass meatball. Sub Ust
Airlines Allow's plans to require plus size passengers to pay extra,
which will take effect in January. The new rule was
supposed to happen sooner, but it got stuck in Houston.
(02:13):
And finally, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey are engaged after
two years of dating. Many. Oh see many, I was
gonna say. Many are congratulating the two. People are congratulating them,
but some are saying it is cruel that Taylor is
using Travis to get back at her ex.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
So how bad are things going for the Democrats? Put
it this way, Even CNN is mocking them.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
The Democratic brand right now has about the appeal with
the American voter as the crackle barrel rebrand has with
the American consumers.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Bad, bad, bad? What are you doing? Oh my goodness?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Gracious?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
So yeah, the channel that spent years building a shrine
to The DNC is now starting to wonder if they've
gotten themselves into something that they're not prepared for, and
the numbers back it up. In swing states, Republican registration
is at its strongest point since at least two thousand
and five. So as the GOP is stacking voters like
Costco stacks toilet paper, Democrats are still trying to convince
(03:27):
you that streets run by fentanyl gangs are part of
the urban renewal plan. So what are Democrats going to
do about this? Let's check in with the DNC chair
for the dems bold new direction.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
I'm sick and tired of this Democratic Party bringing a
pencil to a knife fight.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
We cannot be the only party that plays by the
rules anymore.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
We've got to stand up and fight.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
We're not going to have a hand tied behind our
back anymore.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
Let's grow a damn spot and get in those fight. Democrats, Well, grow.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
A damn spine. That guy couldn't grow mold in a
Bangkok shower drain. Then there was Tim Walls, once again
insulting more than half the country.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Think of how easy it would be to be a
damn Republican. Oh, what should I wear today? This stupid
freaking red hat. What should I say today?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Just make sure it's cruel. Who do we listen to
that guy? Oh, the felon in the White House? Yeah,
listen to him and that will be fine. We can
have our internal decision making, our internal healthy debates. But
I refuse to believe we do not have the luxury
to fight amongst ourselves. Why that thing sets in the
(04:44):
White House?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Another progressive, tough guy looking for a fight, But hey,
I wouldn't fight him. Those jazz hands are dangerous. Clearly
the Democrats want to out Trump Trump, but they can't.
They don't have the playbook, and even if they did,
Jasmine Krockett couldn't read it. Remember twenty fifteen, the media
(05:11):
and the party hated Trump, but voters loved him because
everything he said that horrified the elites was exactly what
the average American was thinking. Trump bent the party to
his will, and it just so happened. It was also
the will of the people. Look at the Democrats' new stars,
aoc Zorn Mom, Donnie, the socialist guy from Minnesota whose
(05:34):
name I don't know, but he looks like the guy
who stole the ship from Captain Phillips.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
That guy.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
They're on the fringe of their party too, They too
say shocking things, but average voters don't like it. When
Trump said build the wall, that was common sense, and
average Americans nodded. Democrats are selling policies no one outside
of the faculty lounge actually wants. If you want to
be a populist, your ideas actually have to be popular.
(06:09):
Otherwise it's just performance art. It's like a slam poetry
reading where the only person clapping is the poets slapping
himself on the back. Now, let me try to help
a bit. Here's less than number one.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Do not say this, don't take the bait and talking
about migrant crime or carjackings or the things that actually
don't matter to that many Americans, and then go to
the policy proposals that we think work.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Migrant crime and carjackings are things that don't matter to
many Americans. Tell that to big balls. And how about
Illinois Governor JB. Pritzker, who proved he's not just out
of touch, he's out of breath.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Listen to this.
Speaker 8 (06:54):
Well, here I am on the half on the lake
front at six am, on Monday, and we got a
lot of people running having a great time.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Doesn't feel like a hell hole here. In fact, everybody's
having a great time and.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Enjoying themselves.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Was he totally sucking when there? Or was he sucking
on a hot dog? I guess Trump was right about
Pritzker when he said this.
Speaker 9 (07:23):
And bad politicians like a guy like Pritzker, he had
to spend more time in the gym.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Actually, unless there's a gym that offers in all you
can eat shrimp bar, I don't see that happening. So
right now, the Democrats biggest problem isn't Trump. It's the
Democrats period. So the party is stuck and voters, well,
they're more lost than Joe Biden trying to find his
way off a stage.
Speaker 10 (07:51):
Welcome Tonight's gas Han's wallet offer seating for a short
techs guard Kevin O'Leary. He knows eighteen ways to kill
a man nineteen If you coun't watching tonight's show, most
of the President's Daily Bread podcast might maker.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
She talks so fast her words are already on tomorrow's show.
Co host about Number only come audio and he uses
man hold covers as coasters. New York Times bestselling on
their community Flober And Okay, Emily, let me ask you this.
(08:32):
You know, obviously the Democrats are struggling, right. It's not
going to go on forever. People end up finding their footing.
But they are certainly lost now, aren't they.
Speaker 11 (08:40):
And people keep describing it, both within their party and
mainstream media as a messaging problem. They don't have a
messaging problem at all. It's crystal clear exactly where their
values are. It's crazy to me that they can't go
through this auditing process, they can't have this.
Speaker 12 (08:55):
Closed door summer camp and.
Speaker 11 (08:57):
Not come out with the conclusion that where they go
on wrong is prioritizing everything behind hardworking Americans. They're they're prioritizing,
you know, biological males in women's sports. They're prioritizing prosecuting
and suspending kids that dare to stand up for their privacy,
women and parents who dare to stand up for autonomy
(09:19):
over their children.
Speaker 12 (09:20):
Americans that dare.
Speaker 11 (09:21):
To stand up for autonomy of their borders or their homes,
or their flag, pro Judaism, pro Israel, pro allies, everything,
all of that has been totally distorted and bastardized for
their gimmicky approach.
Speaker 12 (09:35):
And that's the thing, when.
Speaker 11 (09:36):
You dig deep into who their their party leaders are,
it's everyone that is serving likes and clickbait and no
one is serving constituents.
Speaker 12 (09:44):
All of them are only here for the dopamine.
Speaker 11 (09:46):
But I'm not quite sure why there's no voice of
reason whatsoever in the party that says, wait, hang on
a minute, guys, let's be rational for a second. So
I'm happy watching this ship go down in flames.
Speaker 12 (09:56):
I'll all pop that.
Speaker 11 (09:57):
Popcorn because I don't see anything changing anytime soon.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah, I think Emily's right, Kevin. But you know, there
was a time, I'm old enough to remember the nineties
when you had Bill Clinton and he had to triangulate
and find the third way, you know, and that's how
he ended up going up against Nut Gingrich and he
was very successful in doing that. But there aren't any
centrist Democrats anymore, at least not once they're getting any airtime.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (10:20):
I made a lot of money with Clinton. I like
that he was pro business. I remember I went to
a fundraiser in Boston for him. It was the same
time the Monica Lewinsky thing was going on, and my
wife said, I'm not going with you.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
I'm just standing up for women. I said, come on,
you got to show up. This is for education.
Speaker 8 (10:40):
I was doing the whole read a rabbit thing then
and she said, no, I'm not doing it.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
But I finally convinced her. And when he met her,
she went, oh, mister president.
Speaker 8 (10:50):
The guy had charisma, like he just oohsed charisma.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
And he was a really interesting guy. I think al
Gore was a little boringo. He was part of the story.
Speaker 8 (11:00):
Yeah, but yeah, he was not so hot.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
But Clinton, I mean that's what they need now.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
They need somebody to come out of nowhere, maybe Arkansas again,
just out of nowhere, fresh faced.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
New ideas.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
And they have to do it soon because midterms are
coming around the corner. Yeah, so if you're gonna get
any momentum, and I really think it'll be somebody we've
never heard of, because it couldn't get worse. I mean,
I'm thinking to myself, it's just like trying to hire
a new CEO for a broken company. All of these
guys I wouldn't hire.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
They suck.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Baker. So you get someone in who's got charm. Okay, obviously,
Bill Clinton charmed the American voters Obama charmed the American voters.
But it's not just charm. I mean you're going to
have trouble passing the test of the Democrats, which is
the far left. Now, you can't get by the squad.
They're the ones holding all the cards.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
Yeah, no, it's true. And by the way, you did
read a rabbit.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, my daughter.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
You only reads you can read? Is me.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Who said I can read?
Speaker 5 (12:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
No, it's the primary process.
Speaker 13 (12:10):
We can thank that in part because it gives the
voice to the hard edges right, both of the right
and the left.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
So in a sense, you're I mean, you're absolutely right.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Now.
Speaker 13 (12:20):
I don't think what Kevin said about it's going to
be something we haven't heard of.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I don't think so.
Speaker 13 (12:24):
I don't think they've got time, right, frankly, to build
up that name recognition, even up you know, the three
years before the presidential election, because they get drowned out
by people like Mam Donnie.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Right.
Speaker 13 (12:37):
Ilhan Omar came out today with a tweet or an
ex so what do we call nowadays saying abolish ice.
They're doubling down on all these these ridiculously stupid ideas.
Mam Donnie's a thirty three year old who hasn't had
a significant work experience, right, and yet people are falling
into this, Right, he's spouting the same crap that we've
heard since Stalin, and you've just got a different generation
(12:59):
of Gormala's sheep that say yeah, that sounds good, free
give me that. And so they're all getting behind him,
even though they say, well, we're a little uncomfortable with
Mam Donnie.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
They don't have any other options.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, he's I mean, that's where the energy is behind
these people like Mumdanni and the squad. As I was saying, Tyris.
But when Trump went against his party, like I was saying,
Trump went against the party, and it was where the
heartland was Democrats. They're going against their party, but they're
going way way left.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Right, Well, they're not Democrats. We got to stop. Harold
Ford is a Democrat. You can have a conversation with
that man. You can have a disagreement yeah with him,
and not walk away feeling like you need a shower.
So this is a socialist thank you. This is a
socialist party that's disguising themselves. But here's the bigger picture
(13:50):
that I don't they don't quite get it. You're not
in an all the little soares and their little meetings,
they're still talking about the one thing that they can't
get back. President Trump beat you. Yeah, there's no rematch.
He isn't running again, and they're still talking about ways
to beat him. And that's the problem. This is why
we have referees in sports. Otherwise every Super Bowl will
(14:12):
be like one more quarter, you know, one more quarter,
And that's what they keep doing. They think they can
do it long enough to where they'll get one thing.
But again, none of the people that are in positions
of leaderships are there because they were voted in or
there was stuff behind him. They were appointed. They would, oh,
we need to have this person, We need to have
that person. And they put all these people in there,
(14:35):
and none of them said, we need to put a
person in here who has a skill set that can
have a conversation. You think about their best and brightest
was Kamala Harris and Tim Wallace. That was the best
of their party. And the fact that they would even
ask Tim Waltz to come back, sir, you will go
down in history as being the only man with the
ability to make Kamala Harris look worse.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Exactly if they they learning their lesson all right, before
we go, reminder to come to see Tom Shalu's good
time comedy. So that's me. I'm performing all across the
country including Utah, Massachusetts, Florida, and connettic Get go to
Tom Shlue dot com for decades up next, Trump Won't quit.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
This programming is brought to you by.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
During his entire term, Trump talked about a lot an
energy to crime, to transgender.
Speaker 9 (15:33):
For everybody transgender, for everybody.
Speaker 14 (15:38):
They fought for it, they're still fighting for it. I
saw a guy today, a politician that you all know
very well, fighting like hell for men playing in women's sports.
You don't understand they're human beings.
Speaker 9 (15:51):
Also, well, I agree there human beings.
Speaker 14 (15:53):
But you can't have a seven foot guy playing basketball
with the women and just one of those little problems
in life.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
And we all have a place. That's okay.
Speaker 14 (16:04):
I've got my place too.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Then he saw this, Yeah, go ahead, give her, give
it up for the president. Then he saw this poor
stupid Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 14 (16:16):
And then I saw just poor stupid Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 7 (16:21):
The dog.
Speaker 14 (16:21):
He looks like he's aged a hundred years. And they
don't like getting into looks. You know it, looks don't
mean anything right when you're in politics. Looks No matter
I look at Pam, I would never say she's beautiful
because it's that'd be the end of my political story.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
And it wouldn't be a Trump event without bashing the
lame stream media.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 9 (16:45):
They showed one scene where a bunch of trend dear
ragua guys or whatever, maybe MS thirteen maybe maybe MSDNC, okay,
because to be there worse I think they're where MSNBC
maybe is worse than trende.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Or rob.
Speaker 14 (17:05):
Real scum, you'll scum, real dishonest people.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Right, Oh, they're not showing that clip on ms NBC.
Baker so much entertaining from me, so much, the cabinet meetings,
and he's got all his cabinet there. It's fantastic. But
you know there's also he he he touted a lot
of his you know, a lot of his progress. He said,
there are fifty four thousand, sixty four thousand fewer federal bureaucrats.
(17:34):
Is this what you voted for?
Speaker 13 (17:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Damn right, Yeah, you can always shrink the federal government.
As far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 13 (17:40):
Right, as long as you're you're as long as you're
thoughtful about it, right, youn't just go in there and
take an act to it. But look, the other day,
President Trump had a summit meeting with the South Korean president,
and South Korea is a very sort of buttoned up,
you know, formal culture. They do things in a certain process.
I had indescribable fun watching that press conference with President
(18:03):
Trump sitting next to President Lee of South Korea and
President Trump just riffing on all sorts. He was going everywhere,
and the President of South Korea was trying to keep
the best face on possible, right, because it's an important alliance.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
But look, he's he.
Speaker 13 (18:17):
I think people on the elite side, on the Democrat side,
they can't stand him, you know, because he talks like
one of us.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Right.
Speaker 13 (18:26):
The Democrats are busy saying, look, let's try to find
words that we can say that will make us sound relatable.
Trump is, whether you like him or hate him, the
dude is relatable. He sounds like, you know, every neighbor
I've ever lived next to, Frankly, so he's I think
that part of it is fantastic. I will say one
other thing, which is as far as the transgender sports goes. Yeah,
(18:46):
I think we could solve this whole issue if we
could just get one really solid NBA quality player, right
who decides that they're a dame and do we still
say that, yeah you do and joins the WNBA.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
That would be it. I guarantee you things would start
to turn around if we had that happen. But until that,
we're going to be arguing about this all day.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Well, I mean, the president Tyres, he's famous for his issues.
Now they're all as he says, eighty twenty. You know,
it's overwhelming the support that's behind many of these basic issues.
But we just saw, like in the last segment, the
Democrats are still harping on them, but he was in
the flow. I think this is the president at his
best when he's he holds the cabinet meetings, he has
(19:33):
them all there and then he just riffs.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Well, he's he's running the country his way, and he
wasn't able to do. I think that four year hiatus
from office was probably one of the best things that
happened to the president, and in a lot of ways
happened to us because we got a really good look
at what we never really know. The media was always full,
we just didn't know it. And it took pulling him
(19:56):
out the situation because he was the reason for everything
that was wrong in this country.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
His first four years, and a lot of people bought
into that.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Then they got him out of the picture and the
place went to hell, and then when he came back
things got better. So their entire he knows it, and
he knows the American people know it. The only people
who don't understand it is the people who live on
social media and the trolls. But they don't represent America.
They're ten percent since we have eighty twenty, Well it's
ninety ten with American citizens and the people who are
(20:25):
on social media who push these DEI narratives and transiend
there is a place for transfer boys who want to
dress like girls to play sports.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
It's with the boys.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
You can do your hair and eyelashes on your own time.
Or here's the thing, guys don't care if you're good
or not doesn't matter, gay, straight, whatever.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
All we care about is if you if you can hit.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
In baseball, if you can tackle in football, if you
can shoot in basketball.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
We don't give a damn. So there's play with play
with the boys.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
You don't want to because you're not special. Then you
don't dominate. Then you can't bully anybody then, and that's
the real issue. It's not an issy. There's no conversation.
It's stupid. It's like arguing about I'm pissed off that
President Trump bought the military in to keep people from
getting killed in the streets of Washington, d c.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
And what's your problem with it?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
That was yeah, yeah, Devin, uh yeah. The President's been
riffing a lot lately, and I wanted to get your
take on because he talked about economics idea, he was
defending his tariffs, and recently the US government took a
stake in Intel. What do you think of that? Because
(21:34):
a lot of people in the business world, they seem
to think that there's you know, that that might be
kind of fishy or whatever. What do you think of that?
Speaker 8 (21:41):
Intel should have been sold for car parts about three
years ago.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
I would never invest.
Speaker 8 (21:48):
It's a great thing about America for two hundred years
is and this has been proven forever. The reason we're
number one in technology. We let the good companies thrive
and we let investors invest in then and the ones
that fail, they're like the dead fish.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
It goes to the bottom of the ocean.
Speaker 8 (22:03):
The slugs eat them, and then the protein comes back up.
And so why keep a dead grandmother alive on tubes?
That's Intel. Nobody wants their products. I don't want to
invest in them. Why would I want my tax dollars
investing them? Take them behind the barn and shoot it.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
I didn't know what Wait, I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I mean Intel, I thought they were huge. You're saying
they're getting killed by what Nvidia? In these other companies.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
These guys missed it ten years ago.
Speaker 8 (22:36):
They missed Mobile, they missed Enterprise, they missed AI. They
go in there every day saying, let's roast marshmallows or something.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
We don't know what we're doing.
Speaker 8 (22:44):
I mean, it is the worst run semi company on Earth.
And why why when I read that, chips and Sein
sized because I actually read it.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Nobody else in here did I read it.
Speaker 8 (22:56):
And I saw they were gonna get billions of dollars.
And I said to myself, this is a horror movie.
Why would you give a dog more money? Would it
wants to die?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Now, let me get you a take on this. You
said they gave them the billions. That was during Biden,
that we're going to give them the billions. Now we're
at least getting something for it.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
How to get that argument? Why not this?
Speaker 8 (23:15):
How about just leave the money in the taxpayers pockets
and let intel die.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
We don't know you to like that, right? I I
like that, Emily. What'd you think very entertaining the once again?
I like watching these being in on these cabinet meetings.
Speaker 11 (23:34):
Yeah, because here's what I think has been so lost
in the Democrat party is that we pay the salaries
of everyone in the federal government. The income of the
federal government is the taxpayer dollar. So why aren't we
entitled to Why should we not expect a status report
every month?
Speaker 12 (23:52):
It is so.
Speaker 11 (23:53):
Foreign to the bloated, bureaucratic, you know, sort of teat
sucking democrats benefities to have someone actually held accountable for
my tax dollars and my income for once, So it's
amazing that we are seeing.
Speaker 12 (24:08):
It's like it's like if.
Speaker 11 (24:09):
It's your own house and someone comes into play and
they say the lawn is mode and they're you know,
the windows are washed and it's cleaner and it's brighter,
there's better curb appeal, you're safer. Everything is awesome, thank you.
But the Democrats are so incensed that the Orange man
bad is the one that has rebuilt and resecured the
house and made it beautiful and made it safe again,
(24:29):
that they have totally lost the opportunity to even ask,
for one second, how can we for their our policies,
how can we work in tandem to actually accomplish something
so that when we are inevitably embarrassed at whatever next,
you know, the midterms and then the next election.
Speaker 12 (24:45):
Instead they could say, yeah, we worked.
Speaker 11 (24:47):
With this president and we advanced this legislation. Democrats that
it's important to you, But they are so absolutely myopic.
Speaker 12 (24:55):
They've caught off their noses spite their face, so they
will never appreciate that.
Speaker 11 (24:58):
A victory for him is actually a victory for all
Americans for them too. But yes, at the end of
the day, we need to know how our tax dollars
are being spent and where it's being saved. And it's
phenomenal that it's an a plus from President Trump every
time boom.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Boom, it's cracker barrel over the barrel change an obvious folly,
but the CEO reportedly ignored him, and now they're paying
the price. Even Trump's outraged, urging them to return to
their old logo, admit their mistake, and make Cracker Barrel
(25:33):
a winner again. Hey, I don't know. That guy seems
pretty successful and it seems like they have listened our
very own Brettbear confirming the Cracker Barrel is going back
to the old logo, that old timer's back. Bottom line,
(25:55):
it's never good to get rid of the thing that
people love most about your restaurant. It's why you can
be sure there'll always be three am fights at waffle house.
All right, Listen, Emily. People think we're talking too much
about this thing, but to me, this is endlessly fascinating.
This was such I mean, it was such a bungle,
(26:18):
and it was done in public, okay, And I'm thrilled
that they're going back to their logo. But I don't
know if they've learned their lesson, because I've been reading
their little corporate statements and they keep saying, oh, the
customer is always in front, in the in the in
the top of our minds, and I don't think they
know their customer at all.
Speaker 12 (26:34):
I hear what you're saying.
Speaker 11 (26:35):
However, by them reverting back to their old logo, it
seems that they have terminated the people that didn't know
their customer base and hopefully now embrace I like him
picturing like a Hallmark channel where you.
Speaker 12 (26:44):
Know, like the grandfather comes back into the boardroom and
he's like, we're taking it back.
Speaker 11 (26:50):
You know, they fire the like woe corporation that took over,
and he's like, I make my decisions again, and it's like,
yet you did it. But also I hope that they
have not yet spent one dollar on the rebrand, because
that is that's expensive, as we all learn when we
renamed our stupid ass army bases. So I hope that
they haven't yet embarked on the because they need obviously
every cent they can get.
Speaker 13 (27:10):
Yeah, were they actually clapping for the Hallmark analogy?
Speaker 2 (27:13):
They liked it? I believe they like, Wow, I don
it this this fall on Fox Nation Cracker Barrel Christmas
with my dream Tyrus look the the tell me what
(27:35):
do you think?
Speaker 1 (27:36):
No, you look.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Here, America, I expect a big ass thank you.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
I saved Cracker Barrel. You know it was me. I
gave that listen.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
When I saw that Cracker Barrel was in trouble, I
was like, wait a minute, this is ridiculous. Everyone has
a place, and cracker Barrel, to me, is one of
the last places where you can see white people in
their nature environment. You know, it's quiet, everyone's there to eat.
The food's good. And when I heard when this thing
went down, not to mention the general store that takes
(28:09):
you back in the time machine, you can being all
kinds of trinkets and cool stuff. But I looked at
this and mister Wonderful I took a page out of
his book.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
When all this went down in the stock.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Market on Cracker Barrel crashed, I immediately bought a bunch
of me.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
So I came out passionately.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
And I've learned the one thing that these CFOs fear
more than anything is anytime a black person starts complaining
about them. And it was the only time in my
life where I got to say cracker that many times on.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Nobody got on the stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I was just cracker, this cracker, that cracker.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
Cracker.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
I even said on the five they need more crackers
on the sign, maybe a little baby cracker in the barrel.
It was just you know, so they figured it out.
You're welcome, and you know, let's get back to basics
and go into cracker Barrel and you know, wait a
really long time for good food.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah. I liked what President Trump said. And the thing
that was interesting he said, they just got a billion
dollars in publicity this week. I hope they do something
with it. So he realized that people are talking about
crackerbrow so they don't have to be losers in this, right.
Speaker 8 (29:20):
Well, this company got bud lighted. That's what happened to this. Yeah,
I mean that's really what occurred. Because they're extremely lucky.
The last time you ever saw Cracker Barrel anywhere in
the press or on social media was two hundred and
fifty years ago.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
And so I mean they get no press at all.
Speaker 8 (29:40):
And so it's a good example to young business students,
you know, CEOs, When you screw.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
Up, you get whacked.
Speaker 8 (29:47):
Yeah, and it's a good thing because you should really
try and figure out if I do this, will it
somehow hurt the value of my company? Oh yeah, by
about one hundred million. That's when this guy went behind
the barn. You know what happened to him. The board
said you know, go eat some crackers and don't come back.
It's basically what occurred. But the free press was outstanding.
Trump was right about that.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
And now people say, cracker bell, what the hell is that? Well,
I go check that out.
Speaker 8 (30:11):
Yeah, because it's not on the top of mind for
a lot of people, but now it is.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
When's the last time you cruised over there?
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I love cracker Barrel and I don't want to hear that. Yes,
you know, when I'm on the road, Baker, it's a
great place to pull over. You know, you can sit down. Right,
like Tyra said, is in the restaurant's a nice you
have a good meal. Now, I think that they can
kind of turn this around. But part of it, it wasn't
just the logo thing, right, it was they were redesigning
the restaurant to make it look like a chip and
Joanna Gaines and most Americans don't like that.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
They liked it.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
It was kind of messy in there. It looked like
you were in somebody's garage, right.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
No, exactly right, exactly?
Speaker 3 (30:46):
You want you don't help, Yeah, somebody's kitchen. Here's somebody's garage.
I'm not eating there.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
List I think they call it shabby chic.
Speaker 6 (30:57):
Yeah, nah, I think they call it a yard sale.
It was.
Speaker 13 (31:03):
But look, I was in one of the modernized cracker
barrels not that long ago, and it's and it's a
little jarring, right. You go in there because it's consistent.
It's like waffle House.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
Don't ever say anything bad about waffle.
Speaker 13 (31:13):
Yeah, and it's you go in there for consistency, right,
that's what you do.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
You go in there, you.
Speaker 13 (31:19):
Get your chicken fried steak and a biscuit.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
And listen to me with my stewed apples and my cardigan.
Speaker 13 (31:26):
So yeah, I think to Kevin's point, there have been
so many case studies a bad rebranding exercises that you
would think the first thing top of mind when somebody
in that room says, you know, I think we should
really think about, you know, coming up with a new
branding effort here that somebody would put their hand.
Speaker 6 (31:44):
Up and go, you know, that might not be what
we want to do today, but.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
You learn your lesson, learn your lesson, crackerll I think
they did, okay coming up sleep away camps for grown ups.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
Real strength is five words.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Story, five words adults fine friendship at camp Mike, there's
a growing trend of adults attending sleep away camp like,
you know, like teens, but they're adults. They're doing archery, boating,
mixology classes. Makes sense to you?
Speaker 13 (32:24):
No, it's sad, really really really sad. And look, I
don't understand it because I don't want any more friends,
don't I don't. You know, you get to a certain
age and you've got your friends. You know, I love
them dearly. But do I want to go to a
sleep away camp and hope to make new friends?
Speaker 6 (32:39):
Oh my god, that sounds horrible.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Wow, yeah, not big on that, Okay, Kevin. Some of
these camps cost like one thousand dollars for a three
day retreat. Do you think this is a good value
for adults? It's hard to make friends as an adult
unless you're Mike and you don't want them.
Speaker 8 (32:55):
Listen, I got a thing with mosquitos, and if there's
not a mint on.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
My pillow, I don't sleep there. And that idea.
Speaker 8 (33:02):
Sounds really bad to me, very bad. It has a
thousand bucks, why not stay in a good hotel?
Speaker 1 (33:08):
I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Okay, now this is too again sleep boy camp, Emily,
what do you think they're having fun here?
Speaker 7 (33:14):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
They're meeting other people.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
What do you think?
Speaker 12 (33:17):
I totally love it. Here's why.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
Did you have anything to do with the homework channel?
Speaker 11 (33:24):
Probably everything does in my life. So I grew up
going to summer camp. They were obviously amazing. It was
totally formative, and then I went back and worked there whatever.
And I feel that if adults who didn't grow up
and have that experience can get it now, then that's amazing.
Speaker 12 (33:36):
Number one. Number two, the biggest thing here, you.
Speaker 11 (33:38):
Guys, is that they are getting off the Internet and
actually interacting in real humans.
Speaker 5 (33:42):
No Internet, forget it.
Speaker 8 (33:45):
I'm not kidding.
Speaker 11 (33:45):
We should be applauding this real, actual interaction and them
having the activities that like we get to do all
the time that they don't like.
Speaker 12 (33:52):
I'll bet they get to shoot guns and archery and stuff.
Speaker 11 (33:54):
Like you got to do that the CIA, but they don't.
Speaker 12 (33:56):
So now they can just pay for it and do it.
I think it's fantastic. I wouldn't personally, but I think
it's amazing that thing.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Two A games one for it. What do you think?
Speaker 3 (34:07):
No, man, I'm uh, it's a sausage party first, a
bunch of dudes, but they're thinking there's gonna be a
bunch of women there for sex and stuff. This is
a horrible idea. If you're gonna go camping, you go alone.
You go by yourself. You know, I wouldn't I want
to go out in the wilderness with a bunch of people.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Like, Hi, I'm from marketing.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
My name is Todd, and I'd be like, ah, this
is and this is my axe bank.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
You know what I'm saying. I wouldn't you.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
You got to be an outdoors man. You can't be
an outdoors person like these people. Are you paying a
thousand bucks when you could just hitch up your truck again,
I speaking as a grown ass man, and you hitch
up your truck and drive off in the wilderness and
go fishing. You don't need to pay for that. This
is another excuse. This is virtue signaling. This is a group.
Everyone's in birkenstocks. They're like, should we hike the hill
(34:55):
or acknowledge the land that once the hill belong to.
Speaker 13 (34:58):
The You have a lot of mist all right, toss
the ball, look at the damn picture exactly.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
They got my special Coco cups.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Blankets.
Speaker 6 (35:08):
Hey guys, gotta got on blank on your head.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
If I walked out of my tents hot.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
The hof no wrap, we already Okay, smart Camp, do
you want to go champion? Man up, cut your sleeves off,
go in the woods, the stereot the squirrel and see
how tough you really are?
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Okay?
Speaker 12 (35:30):
Revenge of the Pumpkin Spice? Did you know your brain
has three dimensions of memory?
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Can I in? Is this evil? Pumpkin spice? Lattes returned
to Starbucks today August twenty sixth, a month before fall starts.
I think it's too early, Mike Baker, is I don't
like this when they're trying to assault us with fall
stuff already.
Speaker 13 (36:02):
Yeah, I hate this, like I hate sleep away Camp
for adults, like I.
Speaker 6 (36:07):
Hate Hallmark Channel Ante. What the hell.
Speaker 7 (36:16):
That was?
Speaker 6 (36:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (36:17):
That was?
Speaker 6 (36:18):
That was not the reaction I was thinking of.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
I'm telling you, a Baker, they turn on your fast here.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
Yeah, to be fair, Homemark studios next door sare a
lot of audiences.
Speaker 6 (36:29):
Well anyway, I'm not I'm not a fan. And for
the same reason you said it's too early.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Yeah, I think I don't like when people assault you
with the you know, with the holiday stuff. Well, not
that this is a holiday but it's like a it's
a fall thing, Tyres. I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
It's a scam.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
I'm tired of the pumpkins I scam. They only make
enough for so many months. This is this is a
mister wonderful plot. He's probably an investor. You can get
it for you can only get it for three months.
You walk up the price, everybody buys it like they've
never seen it before, and then it disappears for the
rest of the year in the menu with everything else.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
And who, Kevin, do you have a secret investment in
pumpkin spice?
Speaker 5 (37:09):
I tell you something.
Speaker 8 (37:10):
I look at that picture and I said to myself,
that is a heart attack in a coffee cup.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
I don't know what you know. There's this an app.
I have nothing to do with it, so I'm not
an investor.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Called UK.
Speaker 8 (37:19):
You scan it, take a picture of it, and it
tells you if you drink that you're gonna die.
Speaker 5 (37:25):
So I started using it.
Speaker 8 (37:26):
I started scanning all the crap I've been eating, and
I'm gonna die for sure.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
There's a lot of bad crap. I think that falls
into bad crap category.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Tyrus, Do you believe he doesn't have any money?
Speaker 5 (37:35):
In Yuka.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
The man has two watches.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
I believe he runs two universes.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Okay, something tells me, Emily, you're gonna come down on
the side of pumping us out.
Speaker 11 (37:51):
Okay, everybody, here's here's how I'm feeling.
Speaker 12 (37:54):
It's very strongly. First of all, Number one, I have.
Speaker 11 (37:56):
Been watching Christmas Movie since July.
Speaker 6 (37:59):
Yes.
Speaker 11 (38:00):
Number two, here's where I feel like it's okay is.
Speaker 12 (38:03):
That you don't have to buy it. They can put it.
Speaker 11 (38:05):
Out there because you know that everyone has been excited
for football. You've all done your fantasy drafts, You're all
excited to wear your sweaters. You're all pumped about crisp
air and fall leaves and pumpkins and halloweens.
Speaker 12 (38:14):
And the bottom move.
Speaker 5 (38:17):
Yes.
Speaker 12 (38:17):
So the point is it is.
Speaker 11 (38:18):
There for those if you want it, But if you
would prefer to keep drinking your iced coffee, go ahead,
and then when it actually becomes fall, then you order
your pumpkins spice.
Speaker 12 (38:27):
It's seasonal, you guys, but.
Speaker 11 (38:29):
It's just up to the And also, I feel like
it's hot as hell here, but it's probably cold somewhere.
I'm sure in Seattle they're drinking it.
Speaker 12 (38:35):
It's probably cold there.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Probably cold somewhere.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Yes, right, yeah, that's also five o'clock somewhere.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Yeah, we'll go away, we'll be right back.
Speaker 15 (39:03):
Cover me, preload eggs, watch out, lover me, freeload eggs.
(39:41):
Watch out into a perfect wind.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Be careful, you're losing the
