1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexted show. All right,

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: we got a lot, let's have some fun our number

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: two Thursday edition of the program. Some news out there,

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: as we discussed in the first hour, Trump with a

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 1: big legal win New York Appeals Court tosses his five

6
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar mortgage fraud civil penalty verdict from Attorney

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: General Letitia James. Trump has reacted as you would imagine

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: that Trump has reacted. We've got news that Trump now says,

9
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: we'll have some fun with this, probably in the third hour.

10
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: First of all, DC crime has basically collapsed. Carjackings down

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: eighty three percent, robberies down by half in the nine

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: some odd days since Trump deployed the National Guard and

13
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: additional resources to help drive down crime. As we are speaking,

14
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: I believe it is now venue jinks this thing because

15
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: inevitably it's going to end. But it has been over

16
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: a week since there was a murder in Washington, d C.

17
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: They have searched the record books and they cannot find

18
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: a summer, which is when murder typically peaks. Kids are

19
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: out of school, there's way more people out and about

20
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: in the streets. It's usually that time when murders are

21
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: peaking all over the country. They have not found a

22
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 1: summer stretch like this in decades, going back to try

23
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: to find a period of time where there has been

24
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 1: no murders occurring. So we're gonna get into this maybe

25
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: in the third hour, but let's first, We're gonna get

26
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: to cracker Barrel momentarily here.

27
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 2: But I tease this.

28
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: As we went to break yesterday, as many of you know,

29
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: producer Greg dropped the ball. He said, we like to

30
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: end hours and we certainly like to end the show

31
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: if you haven't noticed on an uplifting idea, and producer

32
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: Greg said, hit this talk back, and immediately it was

33
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: a guy talking about working on the suicide hotline and

34
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: trying to get people to not kill themselves. And everybody

35
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: was just like, well, thanks, producer Greg. We're just going

36
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: off into the rest of the day in an awful spirit.

37
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: Well, to be fair, that the gentleman was saying that

38
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 2: people who have cats, when they are in a very

39
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: bad way mentally, sometimes what is able to get them

40
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: through that when they call the suicide helpline is well,

41
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: I need to take care of my cat.

42
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: All that's very fine, but suicide helpline stories should not

43
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: be the one that we in the show.

44
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 2: We did not get fair warning. We thought people, we

45
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: thought catl were going to be coming at you and

46
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: making fun of you, and instead it was like a

47
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: very earnest and serious talk back.

48
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: That's because I suggested that MSNBC, instead of rebranding as

49
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: ms now, should should rebrand as Minopause, the Menopause Network,

50
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: and that they should spell the pause paws with a

51
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: cat paw to reach out to all of their childless

52
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: cat ladies that are the base of the MSNBC viewing audience.

53
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: But producer Greg, after throwing the show off the rails,

54
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: recorded his own talkback we have not heard this.

55
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: To apologize to everyone here, it is. Hey guys, it's

56
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: producer Greg.

57
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

58
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 4: Sorry, I kind of led you down the path there

59
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 4: on that last talk back yesterday. It was a little grim,

60
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 4: but I thought it was an interesting point, especially as

61
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 4: someone who owns three cats myself, that women won't kill

62
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 4: themselves because they have to feed their cats. Anyway, Sorry

63
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 4: about that.

64
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 5: Mio Couppa.

65
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: Is pretty good. I'll give a to Greg on that one.

66
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: He also though even there he's trying to be like,

67
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: have it both ways like, Hey cat people, I've got

68
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: three cats too. I think there may be a revolution

69
00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: brewing among the cat fanatics out there. And but thanks

70
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: to producer Greg So, that leads into so hopefully all

71
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: of you are still alive. That leads into cracker Barrel,

72
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: which is dead because they have decided that they need

73
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: to rebrand themselves. So I have eaten at cracker barrel

74
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: a lot. During the commercial break, my mom texted me

75
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: and said, your dad and I used to eat at

76
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: the very first cracker barrel in Lennon. Lennon, Tennessee spelled

77
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: like Lebanon used to stop there going to Tennessee football games.

78
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: The Southerners are not going to be happy about this,

79
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: So I don't know what percentage of our audience has

80
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: ever eaten at a cracker barrel. I have eaten at

81
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: many different cracker barrels over the years. The way that

82
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: I would describe cracker barrel is it's basically what your

83
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: grandma cooked if you grew up in the South.

84
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 2: That is this where I would say, as a Yankee,

85
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: my first introduction to country fried ste ache, perhaps.

86
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: That would be that would be on the That would

87
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: be a very bit they fry a lot of things

88
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: at Cracker Barrel as your grandma in the South would

89
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: have fried everything. They have great biscuits and gravy. They

90
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: have I mean again the way that highway. How are

91
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: they for the gluten free community Clay, Probably not great.

92
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 2: Probably not great, That's what I was thinking.

93
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: I don't think gluten free New Yorkers are not the

94
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: base of the Cracker Barrel food pyramid.

95
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: I think it's fair to say they have I feel judged.

96
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: They have a country store which has all sorts of

97
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: things that your grandma would like to buy. I think

98
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: that's probably a fair way to I'm looking at the

99
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: menu now. A lot of the food is beige. What

100
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: does that mean the color? It's just like looking at

101
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: the menu.

102
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: They have all the pictures of the food, and it's

103
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 2: it's just like variations of beige. I mean it is

104
00:05:54,279 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 2: like wings, bread, things that are deep fried in bread,

105
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 2: things put between pieces of bread, and French fries.

106
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: Yes, like they have corn bread with everything, they have

107
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: rolls with everything. The bread is very much of a

108
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: Southern staple, so it basically is whatever was super popular

109
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: to eat in the South in the forties, the fifties,

110
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: the sixties, the seventies. I think it's probably fair to

111
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: say this is that writ large Now. I think the

112
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: Cracker Barrel is basically in all fifty states. They're based

113
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: here in Nashville. They decided Buck that they needed to

114
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: rebrand to get hipper, to get fresher. Now, of all

115
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: the restaurant chains out there, I can't think of a

116
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: less hip and a less forward thinking. And I actually

117
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: think that's the strength of the brand. In other words,

118
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: the nostalgia is what makes Cracker Barrel exist as a brand.

119
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: If you want to go to a hip restaurant, you

120
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: are not going to go to Cracker Barrel. That's not

121
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: their brand. So they rebranded. They took the old grandfather

122
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: off of their logo sitting by the Cracker barrel, and

123
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: they now just have the words Cracker Barrel written there

124
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: the stock. This is crazy. The stock today has dropped

125
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: eight dollars a share. They have taken one hundred million

126
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: dollars off of the market cap. Do we have the

127
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: audio of the cackling Rachel Maddow looking new CEO of

128
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: Cracker Barrel. It's as if she is a terrorist trying

129
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: to destroy the existing track, Like if you created a biscuit.

130
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: She's a biscuit terrorist clan.

131
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: If you created a movie villain to destroy a Southern

132
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: restaurant chain, it would look exactly like this woman looks.

133
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: Do we have the audio of this woman?

134
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: I think she was on Good Morning America talking about

135
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: how everyone loved the red don't have any We will.

136
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 2: Have it in the next second, so I'll introduce it.

137
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: So this is, uh, this is just to me.

138
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: Maybe this would have a decade ago, but Cracker Barrel

139
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: seems to me to have completely bud lighted themselves, and

140
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: I think they're going to have to fire the CEO.

141
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: I think they're going to have to acknowledge what I

142
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: just told you, which is Cracker Barrel is a nostalgic

143
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: place designed to evoke fond memories of people who used

144
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: to eat Southern meals like this in the past, and

145
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: is not ever going to be something different than it is,

146
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: and in fact should lean even more into the brand

147
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: that it is created, as opposed to trying to be

148
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, like an orange and brown version of Applebee's.

149
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 2: No shame this Applebee's out there. It is impressively calorically

150
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: dense in some cases here the hash brown casserole, shepherd's

151
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 2: pie comes in and a lean fourteen hundred calories.

152
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: So it is not a place for you go to

153
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: lose weight. You do not go to cracker Barrel to

154
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: lose weight.

155
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 2: And can I honest question cracker Barrel versus Olive Garden?

156
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 2: Which one is? Which one do you think has better food?

157
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 2: Because I have not been to the cracker Barrel.

158
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: I am an I'm an expert on chain restaurants because

159
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: I have eaten at them all often frequently. I think

160
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: it just depends on what kind of food you want.

161
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: I mean, olive Garden I think is pretty good Italian

162
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: food in a chain setting, just like I think, and

163
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: people are gonna get all fired up at me. They're

164
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: even gonna agree. Is like I think chain restaurants in

165
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: general do a pretty good job. Like is is outback steakhouse?

166
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: What an actual Australian steakhouse looks like?

167
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: No?

168
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: You know, but you know that you know that Foster's

169
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: Australian beer I believe is well. First of all, it's

170
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 2: not I don't know if it's sold in Australia. Probably is,

171
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: but I think it's like bottled in New Jersey or something.

172
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: It's like, oh yeah, I'll do it well.

173
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: But by the way, this goes both ways because they

174
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: sell Budweiser as a premium brand in Australia, right, So

175
00:09:55,559 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: like Budweiser is I don't know that it's what is

176
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: the most premium brand?

177
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Fort Worth, Texas is the primary brewing location

178
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: for Foster's. You can't you can't find it off a Foster's.

179
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 2: But guess what.

180
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: The Bloomin Onion maybe the greatest chain restaurant dish ever created.

181
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 2: I'll throw it out there. It's unbelievable.

182
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: If you don't like a Bloomin Onion, I would submit

183
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: to you your taste buds probably don't work.

184
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 2: I think that was the most calorically dense single menu

185
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 2: item across all American restaurants at one point in time,

186
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 2: the Bloomin Onion. I think it was something like almost

187
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: three thousand calories if you ate one of those, So

188
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: I would hope you taste good.

189
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: It is amazing, And so I think, what's happening here

190
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: is I just said this on Fox News right before

191
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 1: we came on the air. Aisha Hasny, who used to

192
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: live in your building in New York City. To tie

193
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: everything together, she was hosting for Harris Faulkner. I really

194
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: think that all of these companies need a director of

195
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: common sense, and that is someone that actually consumes the

196
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: product and says, hey, is this something that the base

197
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: that actually made this company exist is going to support?

198
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: If you had that bud light never happens with Sidney

199
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: with Dylan mulvaney. They should go with Sidney Sweeney. The

200
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: cracker barrel new logo and the remake does not happen

201
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: like this. You would not have Nike lighting its brand

202
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: on fire with Colin Kaepernick back in the day. The

203
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: NBA wouldn't decide to put political slogans on the back

204
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: of jerseys and Black Lives Matter on the court. Again,

205
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: just basic common sense. These companies and this is me

206
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: getting on a soapbox because it fires me up so much.

207
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: These companies employ people who have never ever been fans

208
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: of the company that they're leading, and they decide that

209
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: they should make a choice without understanding the base of

210
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: the company at all.

211
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 2: You can't you can't run a kitchen if you don't

212
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: know what your food tastes like. You can't be a

213
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: good chef if you're not putting that wooden spoon up

214
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: to your mouth and knowing what's going on. You got

215
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 2: to eat your own cooking. Whether it's radio or it's

216
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: running a restaurant or whatever. You got to know the

217
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 2: product you're putting out there.

218
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: Look, if you didn't have a Southern grandma, you probably

219
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: shouldn't be the CEO of Cracker Barrel, because if you

220
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: had a Southern grandma, you would recognize the menu and

221
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: you would know exactly what the business is. They're trying

222
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: to evoke the idea of walking into your grandma's kitchen, right,

223
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: can I say grandma home cooked meals?

224
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 2: Caller Steve in San Antonio, Texas wants to weigh in

225
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: on this one, and I think we should let him

226
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: because he has a different perspective on the Cracker Barrel.

227
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: What's going on? Steve?

228
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 6: Good morning, Thank you.

229
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 5: I'm in San Antonio.

230
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 7: Cracker Burrel's been here a long time, long long time.

231
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 7: So I've beaten there, you know, now and again for

232
00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 7: a long long time. And in recent years product took

233
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 7: a turn for the worst. You know, I don't know

234
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 7: why or exactly what it, what the particulars of that were,

235
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 7: but I had pretty much stopped going there and then

236
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 7: I saw something that that they've changed their menu forget

237
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 7: exactly how they said it, so I wasn't checked it out,

238
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 7: and yeah, it really did look different, and I saw

239
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 7: food coming out that looked different. So I tried it

240
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 7: and they improved it like five hundred percent from where

241
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 7: it had dropped to.

242
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: And thank you for calling in as a Cracker Barrel

243
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: employee to tell us, shuch thing the.

244
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 2: The stock dismissive, dismissive of our esteemed callers taste buds.

245
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 2: Sure I don't.

246
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: I don't buy that this guy happens to call in

247
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:54,479
Speaker 1: and give the exact corporate line that the CEO good morning.

248
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 2: We have a plant in this the audience.

249
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, when you call in with the exact

250
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: talking points of the corporation, I just question whether you

251
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: are giving your true opinion. Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe maybe

252
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: he just happens to have the exact talking points. We'll

253
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: play it for you that the CEO gave this morning

254
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: on Good Morning America. I just think it's awful. I'm skeptical.

255
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: You come for the Cracker Barrel, you best not miss

256
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 2: when you're when you're talking about mister Clay Travis's cracker barrel.

257
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 2: You better know what you're doing with the odds.

258
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: What are the odds that somebody calls in and sounds

259
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: exactly like what the CEO would want them to sound like,

260
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: and maybe exactly the.

261
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 2: New Country Fried steak is just Look, I have no

262
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 2: dog in this fight. I've never even been to this place.

263
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 2: I don't even think I've seen one before. This is

264
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 2: not a thing we have in the in Yankee town

265
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 2: in the Northeast. Okay, I don't think there are any

266
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: cracker guys. Are there cracker barrels up in the Northeast,

267
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: I don't.

268
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: I would bet they have a cracker barrel somewhere in

269
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: rural New York.

270
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 2: I would bet.

271
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: It's a good question how many different states are these in.

272
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: I would bet the majority of this audience has been

273
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: to a cracker barrel before.

274
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 2: Wow, there are cracker barrels in New York near major highways. Yeah,

275
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 2: not in New York.

276
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: City, but yeah, most most people out there, I would

277
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: think I would think that they actually that they actually

278
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,359
Speaker 1: have probably been there. Well, if you think san Antonio

279
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: Caller was actually organic and he just happens to have

280
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: the exact same opinion, as the CEO when we come back,

281
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: we will play the CEO this morning saying everybody loves

282
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: everything that she's doing. It's ironic how that always happens

283
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: when the CEO goes on television. Everybody agrees with every

284
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: decision they've made. But I want to tell you about

285
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: trust and will. Maybe maybe you were listening to producer

286
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: Greg's final call at the end of the last show

287
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: and you were thinking, Hey, maybe it's time. Maybe it's time.

288
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,000

309
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: we're both going to do the same thing, which is

310
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 2: the CEO Cracker Barrel. Let's just hear from her on

311
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 2: the changes, because she thinks she's a genius.

312
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 3: What if all the customers are coming at you hard

313
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 3: enough about the look at a restaurant and they want

314
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 3: to go back to the old way.

315
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 2: Would you do it?

316
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 9: Honestly, the feedback's been overwhelmingly positive that people like what

317
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 9: we're doing. I'll give you another SoundBite. I actually happened

318
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 9: to be in Orlando last week with all of our managers.

319
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 9: We bring them together and once every other year, and

320
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 9: the number one question that I got asked Michael was

321
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 9: how can I get a remodel? When can I get

322
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 9: a remodel? How do I get on the list. So,

323
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 9: because the feedback and the buzz is so good, not

324
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 9: only from our customers, but from our team members. They

325
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 9: want to work in a wonderful restaurant. So we're doing

326
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 9: everything for our guests and our team members.

327
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 2: Doing everyone great.

328
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 1: Clay, everybody loves my leadership up the greatest CEOs ever existed.

329
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,479
Speaker 1: Why is Good Morning America interviewing the CEO of Cracker

330
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: Barrel Because there have been five hundred thousand.

331
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 2: X posts about this Clay. Think about that, five hundred

332
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 2: thousand posts about a logo chain. It's wild. Our federal

333
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 2: government has a funding problem. You know that one of

334
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 2: them is Social Security, but that thirty seven trillion dollars

335
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 2: in debt is just going to keep going and going,

336
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 2: getting bigger and bigger. Now, look, Trump's doing a lot

337
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 2: to turn the ship around. But there's something else you

338
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 2: should know about. Hope for a funding solution, and Trump's

339
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 2: involved with this one too. Jim Rickards a fifty year

340
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 2: government insider. He's got a point of view on a

341
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 2: possible solution to our debt crisis over the long term.

342
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 2: He's who's advised for presidential administrations, and Jim says President

343
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 2: Trump is on the verge of a breakthrough that could

344
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 2: save Social Security. Rickards is on record saying America is

345
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 2: anything but broke. He thinks investors who understand why could

346
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 2: make a fortune in the months ahead. If the Trump

347
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 2: Administration's future moving this regardless correct, it could solve the

348
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 2: Social Security funding problem. Jim Rickards believes you're over fifty,

349
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 2: this could be your last chance to create lasting wealth,

350
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 2: regardless of your politics. For the full story and learning

Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show didn't make

355
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: suspect this, but just saw his tweet. Probably the man

356
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: who is going to be the next governor at the

357
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: Great State of Florida. Byron Donald's used to work at

358
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: Cracker Barrel, and I'm gonna let you tell the story

359
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 1: to everybody. I appreciate you calling in. So you come

360
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: down to the South from New York and you got

361
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: a job at Cracker Barrel.

362
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 3: Absolutely, it's going to be with you. I worked at

363
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 3: Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee when I was going to college.

364
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 3: I was a waiter. I actually was able to become

365
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 3: a three star waiter, and so that's how high I

366
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 3: rose in the ranks. Man, it was a three star.

367
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 3: I basically did everything in that store at the one

368
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 3: in Tallahassee, and then when I moved to Naples, I

369
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 3: transferred to the one down in Naples. It's on I

370
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 3: seventy five things at one on one. I worked there

371
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 3: for about four or five months in Naples before I

372
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 3: got my first.

373
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 2: Job at the Naples Cracker Barrel. Congressman, did they just

374
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 2: did they have the butler slip you like one hundred

375
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 2: dollars bills? You know that's a very high high rent area.

376
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 3: Listen, even at the Naples Cracker Barrel, it's about biscuits

377
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 3: and hash brown casse role. That's what it's about. They

378
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 3: nobody's slipping hundreds in there. I honestly that.

379
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: So, what do you think about the rebrand? So this

380
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: is actually a brand? I was, it's funny your world

381
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: and Cracker Barrel collides. I used to work at an American

382
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: Eagle back when I was a teenager. So the whole

383
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: Sydney Sweet thing, I felt like that whole controversy was

384
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: designed for me. When you saw that they're rebranding and

385
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: changing the logo and everything else.

386
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 2: What's your reaction?

387
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 3: I hate it. I don't even understand why it needed

388
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 3: a rebrand. Cracker Barrel is a staple of you know,

389
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 3: of the country. Everybody comes in there to eat. It

390
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 3: doesn't matter who you are. You've come in there, You've

391
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 3: had your your pancakes and your scrambled eggs and bacon.

392
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 3: You made sure you got your biscuits. You might have

393
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 3: tried the chicken, the country Fried steak, or the chicken

394
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 3: fried chicken. Look, I'm going through the menu and it's

395
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 3: been more than twenty five years since I worked there,

396
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 3: But I will tell you it's a staple. So I

397
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 3: don't even know why we needed this rebrand. Something just

398
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 3: are what they are. That's Cracker Barrel, old country store.

399
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 3: I don't even know why they've removed that out of

400
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 3: the name. And then and even in the inside it

401
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 3: looks it looks like what they did is they try

402
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 3: to have it become like a photo a photo shoot

403
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 3: for like better homes and gardens. I don't even know

404
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 3: what that place looks like. It doesn't look like anything.

405
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 3: That is what Cracker Barrel. What made Cracker Barrel a

406
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 3: real staple in the United States Congressman.

407
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 2: If I know I am, I'm sorry to say I

408
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 2: have never never been to a cracker barrel establishment, which

409
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 2: is clearly.

410
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: Bug is from You're from New York too, I could.

411
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: It doesn't surprise me, like I grew up going to

412
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: these things all over the country. But I mean described

413
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: cracker barrel food to Buck as someone who's I was gonna.

414
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 2: Say, I mean, this is a gentleman. This is a

415
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 2: gentleman who both appreciates the menu and had to help

416
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 2: people navigate it for many years a long time ago, Congressman,

417
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 2: what as a as a first time or if I

418
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 2: walked in there, what is like the best of cracker barrel?

419
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 6: Like?

420
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 2: What would I forget about my dietary restrictions? Will leave

421
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 2: that aside.

422
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 3: Let me help you. If you're coming in for breakfast,

423
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 3: you have to get the old timer's breakfast, very simple, straightforward.

424
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 3: A couple of scrambled eggs, some bacon, some sausage. They

425
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 3: don't really do link sausage too much. Most if it's

426
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 3: Patty sausage. You could get biscuits. You might get toast

427
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 3: if you ask for it, but you really just want

428
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 3: the biscuits. If you really want to get into it.

429
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 3: Get the French toast. The French toast is some of

430
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 3: the best I've ever had, whether I was serving it

431
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,959
Speaker 3: or I'm eating French toasts somewhere else. That's really good stuff.

432
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 3: If you're coming in for dinner, you can't go wrong

433
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 3: with the catfish filets. They're awesome. Fried oak grilled, it's

434
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 3: gonna be great. If you love fried oakrall you can

435
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 3: get that. Green beans are always there. Macaroni and cheese

436
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 3: is always on point and real quick. For the people

437
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 3: who love biscuits, you gotta have their sausage gravy. I

438
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 3: was never a sausage gravy guy, but a lot of

439
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 3: people like it. It's iconic. Man, it is great food. No

440
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,959
Speaker 3: matter what you eat, go there. I'm telling you, when

441
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 3: you travel the country, go to Cracker Barrel. Maybe not

442
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 3: this new version. I'm one of the old ones that

443
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 3: we're still designed the old way because the food is fantastic.

444
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: Why do you think this happens? Like you are running

445
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: for governor of Florida, You're in Congress now. You have

446
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 1: to talk to people from all different backgrounds all over

447
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: the state of Florida, all over the country. And as

448
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: you just said, most people understand cracker barrel. It's like

449
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: old Southern cooking. You know what you're gonna get. Everybody's

450
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: grandma cooked like that if you're in the South at all,

451
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: and it has kind of that down home nostalgic feel.

452
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: Why is there such an and look, you can connect

453
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: this with bud light. I think you can connect it

454
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: with lots of things. Why do we let people who

455
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: never consume the product go out and try to change

456
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: a brand like this?

457
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 2: It seems to happen everywhere.

458
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I think you sometimes will get a

459
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 3: new CEO who thinks they have to rethink everything to

460
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 3: prove their worth. What you really need to do as

461
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 3: a chief executive is just make sure that the brand

462
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 3: is earning money, make sure that the operations sound, make

463
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 3: sure the employees are getting the support that they need,

464
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 3: and then you know, no pun intended, but just let

465
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 3: the place cook because if it's cooking good food, people

466
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 3: will continue to come. So these rebrands, I think sometimes

467
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 3: you'll have an executive who thinks they have to leave

468
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 3: their mark, and that's really not what you need to

469
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 3: be doing. You need to make it be making sure

470
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 3: that everybody's making money the earning for shares continue to

471
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 3: look good. I don't know how much they're spending on

472
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 3: this rebrand, just looking at how some of the responses

473
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 3: have been, like mine and a lot of other responses,

474
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 3: it's not going well, you know, so that's probably going

475
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 3: to cost shareholders money. It's pretty unfortunate.

476
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 2: Okay, shifting gears here.

477
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: We got college football kicking off in Ireland this weekend

478
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: and other places, and then next weekend. I was actually

479
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: going to text you about this. Now I got you

480
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: on the show, I'll just tell you I am going

481
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: to Alabama Florida State. I have never been to FSU

482
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: for a game. For those of you who don't know,

483
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: Big Saturday in Tallahassee. When will you be at the game?

484
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 2: Two?

485
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: What should I know? And or ghos at Florida State.

486
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna take a couple of my kids

487
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: for that game on opening weekend to college football.

488
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 3: Number one, I won't be in Tallahassee. I wish I was.

489
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 3: I was already scheduled to be in another part of

490
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 3: Florida doing an event. So I'm sad I'm miss the Knowles,

491
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 3: but you know, I'm looking forward to seeing how we

492
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 3: start this season. Two, make sure you take your kids

493
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 3: to the Unconquered Statue at the stadium. It's an iconic

494
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 3: statue right in front of Doe Campbell it trust me,

495
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 3: it's it's nothing like it. Three And I'm and I'm

496
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 3: pulling from my knowles. I think we're going to rebound

497
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 3: from last season. So when that tomahawk chop comes out,

498
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 3: let your kids do the tomahawk chop. Let them be

499
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 3: a part of it. It's iconic in college football outstate.

500
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 2: I want to throw this. I just want to throw

501
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 2: this out there. I was looking at looking this up

502
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 2: and hatsip our friend Sean Davis, Congressman. This may go

503
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 2: a little bit too. What happened with Cracker Barrel? Bring

504
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 2: us back around here for a second. The Cracker Barrel Chick.

505
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 2: This is the New York Times Cracker Barrel chain, evoking

506
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 2: Southern style home cooking and hospitality long scene as a

507
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 2: white coated establishment that aligned with conservative social norms. Oh

508
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 2: oh okay, you see.

509
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 3: This is what I mean. You get some news, some

510
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 3: new ceo who thinks it's time to do something different.

511
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 3: Now they're concerned that too many conservatives eat at cracker Barrel.

512
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 3: I got a news flash for this lady. I'm assuming

513
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 3: it's a lady. Now that's that's the news.

514
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 2: It's definitely it's a lady who looks like it looks

515
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 2: like she's feeding her five cats while she's watching MS.

516
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 3: Now, yes, oh boy, all right, newsflash for her. This

517
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 3: is how you lose customers because go look at your

518
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 3: customer base. They're just regular people. They go and they

519
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 3: eat good breakfast. A lot of repeats from people who

520
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 3: live in the community who swear by Cracker Barrel and

521
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 3: now they're going to go somewhere else. I mean, this

522
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 3: is how you end up losing your company. This is

523
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 3: these are the dumb decisions for people who think they're

524
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 3: smarter than everybody else. What she should do is go

525
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 3: be undercover, boss and go travel the country before you

526
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 3: do these remodels, and to see how people are in

527
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 3: these restaurants. Like I worked in a Cracker Barrel for

528
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 3: almost four years. Everybody was great. I never felt, you know,

529
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 3: I'm a black man. I never felt like, oh, somebody

530
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 3: was trying to hold me down because I was serving

531
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 3: biscuits in the morning.

532
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 2: It sounds to me, Congressman, like you disagree with the

533
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 2: new York. The New York Times describes it as a

534
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 2: quote cracker barrel as quote a lightning rod for identity politics.

535
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 3: It's the New York Times. Of course I disagree with them.

536
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 3: They're stupid. They don't know what you're talking about. That's

537
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 3: why they're all sure.

538
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: But I mean, I do think this is important. You

539
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: worked as a waiter there, and you said this earlier.

540
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: People from all different backgrounds come in, and it sounds

541
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: like you had a really good experience with the patrons

542
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: and the overall environment of the place when you worked there.

543
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, what percentage of patrons would you say if

544
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 2: you had to just put a percentage on it. We're

545
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 2: just we're friendly and polite folks who were there to

546
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 2: have a nice meal, either alone or with their friends

547
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 2: or family. Like, what would you what would you put

548
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,239
Speaker 2: that number at? Roughly and your four years of working now,

549
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 2: I'm just curious.

550
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 3: Oh, it's like ninety eight percent. Ninety eight Yeah, a

551
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 3: good number. You know, every now and again, somebody might

552
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 3: get a little rowdy if they didn't get their biscuits.

553
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 2: Well that's true of any that's true of any restaurant, right,

554
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah.

555
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 3: Ninety percent everybody was good. They just they just want

556
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 3: to come in to eat good food.

557
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 2: That's what it's about, all right, Congressman, anything else you

558
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 2: want to announce while we're here, while we got you,

559
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 2: and you're already running for governor. Right, I'm a Floridian,

560
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 2: So can you keep this place? Can you just promise

561
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 2: you'll keep this place awesome when you're governor?

562
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 3: What I what I'll tell you is in Florida, we're

563
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 3: going to continue to be the free state of Florida.

564
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 3: That will not change. Everything is going great. Proud and

565
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 3: honored to have President Trump's endorsement, Rick Scott's endorsement, most

566
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 3: of the congressional delegation. We're just gonna take our state

567
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 3: to a whole nother level, but it will continue to

568
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 3: be the free state of Florida.

569
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 2: Appreciate you, sir. We'll talk to you again soon, especially

570
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 2: as that gets closer. Right, thanks for making the time

571
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 2: for us today, Congress and Donald's all.

572
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 3: Right, takeing these of guys.

573
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 2: You never know. You don't have to look that long.

574
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 2: You figure figure it out. The CEO came in, it's

575
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 2: because there's this there's a perception among people. This is

576
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 2: what I think we've unearthed here, and I'm speaking kind

577
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 2: of from the outsider perspective, there's a perception among coastal

578
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 2: elites that cracker Barrel is coded as old white and Southern,

579
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 2: and therefore inherently, even though it's just selling biscuits and

580
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 2: pancakes and things to whomever goes through the door, and

581
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 2: people seem to love the place, inherently problematic. There's something

582
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 2: problematic about the perception which is not even rooted in

583
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 2: anything of it, for it's old white and Southern.

584
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: Well, what I would say, and I am not an

585
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: expert in cuisine, clearly, but in my experience, white and

586
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: black people in the South eat very very similar foods.

587
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,239
Speaker 1: So I've never met anybody of any race in the

588
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: South who was like, you know what, I'm not really

589
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: a biscuit guy, you know what, I'm not really I'm

590
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: not really into fried catfish, you know what. I'm not

591
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: really into cobblers and pecan pies and all this stuff.

592
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: I just I see people eating very similar foods. I've

593
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: been into cracker barrels all over the Southeast, and my

594
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: experience would reflect what Congress McDonald's just said, which is

595
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: most of the people there are just good old fashioned people. Now,

596
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: would it surprise me if Cracker Barrel, to your point

597
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: to the New York Times codes because it's a Southern

598
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: based company, as more likely to be eaten in by

599
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: a Trump voter than I don't know, I'm trying to think.

600
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: I don't even know what the equivalent restaurant of liberals

601
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: would be. Yeah, I would think that. But it's all

602
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: over the South. I mean, so this is what people

603
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: have picked up on the South.

604
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 2: This is what they picked up on. Is that to

605
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 2: quote modernize it or to update it is to desuthernize it.

606
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: But that's my issue with it. It is the South.

607
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: It's like say, but that's the point. It's everyone's issue

608
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: with it. That's why there's five hundred thousand tweets.

609
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 9: Uh.

610
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: And this is where I also think you. I think

611
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: it's very similar to bud Light. You take somebody from

612
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: New York or LA who would never drink a bud

613
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: Light and they say, you know what we should do.

614
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: We should have trans influencers. Was there any trans person

615
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: who was not drinking bud Light because bud Light wasn't

616
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: trans enough?

617
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 2: Of course not.

618
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: The reason people go to Cracker Barrel is to get

619
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: a good home cooked, old school style Southern meal that

620
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: your black grandma or your black or your white grandma

621
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: might have made for you back in the day, and

622
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: as some grandmas to this day continue to cook. And

623
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: so when you're trying to take away that which made

624
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: people go to it in the first place. Again, I

625
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: don't understand the marketplace for cracker barrel is not to

626
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: be Applebee's. And that's not a shot at Applebee's. But

627
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: Applebee's is like the most we'll probably just got a

628
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: big deal we're about to do with Applebe's and they're like,

629
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: this is done forever. But I would say like Applebee's

630
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: is the most generic Americana style food out there. Like

631
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: what does Applebee's stand for?

632
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 2: Nothing?

633
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 3: Right?

634
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 2: It's like kind of this is generic. This is generic.

635
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 2: Do you feel like I feel like Applebee's just caught

636
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 2: an out down there.

637
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: I'm trying to take Applebee's out. But like Chili's you

638
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: would be like, hey, Chili's is Mexican style food. Olive

639
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: Garden you'd be like, Olive Garden is Italian style food.

640
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 2: I mentioned it earlier.

641
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: Outback is Australian steak steakhouse South Texas Roadhouse.

642
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 2: I mean it isn't is it though? Is out back

643
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 2: Australian I get.

644
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: I know it's not at all like that, but you

645
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: understand the branding concept. The entire branding of Cracker Barrel

646
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: is Southern style food. There is no competitor for that.

647
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: There's a lot of competitor for Applebee's.

648
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 2: It's not a matter of whether you're going to have

649
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 2: cell phone service. It's a matter of who you want

650
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 2: to give to provide that cell phone service to you.

651
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 2: This is why I'm telling you really give some thought

652
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 2: to this. Puretalk. That's a cell phone company that I use.

653
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 2: It's one that Clay's family is on. It's a company

654
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 2: that we both admire. Founded by a veteran. Their customer

655
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 2: service team is one hundred percent US based, keeping jobs

656
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 2: at home, including many veterans. Puretalk uses the same towers

657
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 2: and same network as the bigger companies, but changes charges

658
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 2: rather a fraction of the price. For just twenty five

659
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 2: bucks a month, you can get a limited talk, text

660
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,719
Speaker 2: and plenty of data on America's most dependable five G network.

661
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 2: Just to give you some perspective, the average sized family

662
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 2: of four saves more than one thousand dollars a year

663
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 2: when they switch to Puretalk and with Puretalk's US customer

Speaker 2: Highly recommend you do so. Go to Crockett Coffee dot com.

681
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 2: Like Cracker Barrel, a great American brand that also has

682
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 2: a C in the name. You think this is a coincidence.

683
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 2: I think not Rocket Gota.

684
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: Replaced by the way Davy Crockett from our logo.

685
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 2: We aren knows. We decide that it is too antiquated.

686
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 2: If we can make him look cooler, we will, but

687
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 2: we will not get rid of Davy Crockett. He is

688
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 2: an American patriot and hero, and we celebrate him and

689
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 2: American history in general. But remember ten percent of prophets

690
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,760
Speaker 2: goes to tunnel the towers. Please get some Crocket coffee today.

691
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 2: Try the mushroom coffee if you haven't already. It's really

692
00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 2: interesting stuff. Deborah in Virginia once talk Cracker Barrel. I

693
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 2: had a feeling. What's going on? Debra?

694
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 6: Thank you for having me on. I wanted to say

695
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 6: that Cracker Barrel was one of my favorite restaurants of

696
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 6: all time. They changed their menu maybe two years ago.

697
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 6: They dropped the pot roast off of their menu and

698
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 6: replaced it with something else which just didn't hold up

699
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 6: to the standard they had before. And since they did that,

700
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 6: I haven't gone back.

701
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 2: What do you think about changing the logo.

702
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 6: I don't like it. I don't see the point. I

703
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 6: think that they've made a huge mistake.

704
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: Thank you call a bunch of people wanted to weigh

705
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: in ANDed in North Carolina.

706
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 2: What you got for us, very clay.

707
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, listen, I agree with that caller from San Antonio,

708
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 5: Cracker Barrel. The menu is trash man, not the menu,

709
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 5: but the execution. Their product control is trash. I went

710
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 5: in there a couple of months ago and I had

711
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 5: the basic chicken friede and it was god awful. So

712
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 5: they need to keep the menu, like you said, more socially.

713
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,439
Speaker 1: So sorry, sorry you disagree with the caller from saying,

714
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: I guess I'm confused.

715
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 2: He said the changes were great. You're saying the changes.

716
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 5: I'm saying they need to improve their quality control. The

717
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 5: existing menu is good, but the way they're executing it

718
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 5: is trash.

719
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 4: Uh.

720
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: Leonard in Virginia really quick, all right, Leonard Trump, we'll

00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: had no idea what he was stepping into today. Well,

723
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: President Trump is saying that he's going to go on

724
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 1: patrol in DC. We'll dive into this as well as

725
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: crime is plummeting in our nation's capital. More data for
