Speaker 3: on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir Michael, good morning.

55
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 3: Thanks and take McCall.

56
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 8: I'm an eighty three year old Vietnam Navy veteran, and

57
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 8: I think he hit the nail on the head this

58
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 8: morning talking to that young fellow about his mortgage. Dave

59
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 8: Ramsey says, the problem with these with the younger generation,

60
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 8: and not only the younger but the older two, is

61
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 8: instant gratification. We want everything that our parents have, but

62
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 8: we don't.

63
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: Want to wait to get it.

64
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 8: And I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting more

65
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 8: toys at a big punkin beautiful truck and all that,

66
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 8: but save you money and buy it when you can

67
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 8: afford it. I drive a twenty one year old truck,

68
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 8: my wife drives a twenty one year old car, and

69
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 8: we're just fad.

70
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, sir. What's interesting is I don't think there's

71
00:03:54,880 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: any financial literacy being taught in I don't know. I

72
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: don't want to say everybody in some people's homes. I

73
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 3: don't think people are teaching I don't think enough people

74
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 3: are teaching their children financial literacy. I only think the

75
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: public school system is teaching it. I don't think secondary

76
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 3: education is teaching it. I think when people I think

77
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 3: young people don't understand the value, the time value of money,

78
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 3: compounding interest, compounding growth. What can be done, you know,

79
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 3: delayed gratification and investment instead.

80
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 7: You know.

81
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 3: The idea. When I was growing up, you saved your money.

82
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: But I don't teach my kids to save their money.

83
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 3: I teach them to invest their money because I've seen

84
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 3: the difference in what it can do. I was running

85
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 3: for city council and there was gentlemen named Dean Kannally.

86
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 3: He had a firm called Kannae Trust. And I've told

87
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: this story on the air before, but it's been a while.

88
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 3: And Dean was willing to support me for city council

89
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 3: because Walter Pasively asked him to, and Walter was like

90
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 3: my second father. And but when I went for my meeting,

91
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 3: we went into Kannae Trust this August, you know, mahogany

92
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 3: paneled walls. I go in the back and I sit down.

93
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 3: He said, I will support you, but only if you

94
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 3: will make a financial plan right now. I was twenty

95
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 3: nine years old. If only I had done everything he

96
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 3: told me at that so what he did was lay

97
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: out the principles of personal finance. At that point when

98
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 3: I was twenty nine years old, and I think back

99
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 3: now how many years it took me to really understand

100
00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 3: how much he was helping me with that advice. He

101
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: wrote a book called Fundamentals of Financial Literacy or something

102
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 3: like that, and it was one of those books that

103
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 3: didn't become a bestseller but should have. When I think

104
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 3: back on personal finance and the things that have influenced

105
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 3: me the most, it's rich men, poor man, or was

106
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 3: it rich Dad, poor dad? The millionaire next door? And

107
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 3: I know a lot of finance guys will poo poo

108
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 3: the millionaire next door because it's about self denial and

109
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: deferred gratification and you know, inconspicuous living, whereas they like

110
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,799
Speaker 3: the conspicuous consumption and the big deals and the home runs.

111
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 3: But you know, you can play small ball and get

112
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: to a very good place in your life. My dad

113
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 3: certainly did, and that is simply by not wasting money.

114
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 3: But doesn't mean you can't live well, doesn't mean you

115
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 3: can't do nice things. We really do live in a

116
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 3: golden era. People's complain has nothing to do with fact.

117
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 3: It's disconnected. I've known many, many, many people who were

118
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 3: fabulously rich and miserable all the time world's gone to hell.

119
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 3: And I've known there are certain people who they will

120
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 3: complain about. I've seen it.

121
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 7: You know.

122
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: They'll have three kids and they'll tell, oh, oh, Bob Tom,

123
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 3: he's man, he's causing us nothing but problems. He's failing

124
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: in school, not any good, Old Bob Tom, he's nothing.

125
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 3: And then Bob Tom gets an A and he clears

126
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 3: up his grades and he's doing well, and I mean

127
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 3: without missing a beating. They go, well, Susie Little, she's

128
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 3: over there, she's just well. We didn't hear about her

129
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 3: because but we always needed to have somebody we were

130
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 3: complaining about. And that's how people do. You have no

131
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 3: reason to worry if you were a young person over

132
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 3: the future, if you are taking care of things yourself.

133
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 3: I think there is the idea if there's a day's

134
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: ex machina out there that is going to lift all

135
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 3: the boats, this rising tide going to lift all the boats.

136
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 3: Smart people make money during downturns. Resilient people are going

137
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 3: to be fine. But this idea that you need to

138
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 3: be fearful of the feer does not help it paralyze it.

139
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: Just make good decisions and earn more money and save

140
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 3: more money and invest more money. But we were talking

141
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 3: about Ed McMahon. We didn't have edmoncan wed We're talking

142
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 3: about Ed McMahon. A couple of days ago and several

143
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 3: listeners emailed to let me know that Ed McMahon's wife,

144
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 3: Victoria was from Houston, one going so far as to

145
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 3: send the obituary she passed July fifteenth of twenty sixteen.

146
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 3: It said Victoria Valentine McMahon passed away in Los Angeles

147
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 3: after a lengthy battle with pulmonary hypertension. She was born

148
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 3: June seventh, nineteen forty, to Ray and Mary Valentine in Houston, Texas. Vicky,

149
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 3: as she was then called, joined trans Trans Texas Airways

150
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 3: Executive office directly after high school, and later took a

151
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 3: job as special representative ground hostess to the president of

152
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 3: National Airlines in both New Orleans and Houston. While working

153
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: for National Airlines out of Houston Hobby Airport, she met

154
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 3: her husband, Ed McMahon, longtime sidekick of Johnny Carson on

155
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 3: The Tonight Show. Victoria and Ed made their home in

156
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 3: Beverly Hills and raised their daughter, Katherine Mary McMahon, who

157

Speaker 3: was born in nineteen eighty five, they were active on

158
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 3: the celebrity circuit and blah blah blah, blah blah. They

159
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 3: divorced in ninety one, but she remained active. She continued

160
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 3: to live in Beverly Hills. So there you go. Lived

161
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 3: off his name, Ramone. Things you say, Uh, let's go

162
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 3: to let's go to Dave.

163
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 7: Dave.

164
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 3: You're on the Michael Berry Show.

165
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 7: Good morning, Michael.

166
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 9: How's everything going today?

167
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 3: Good?

168
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 7: What you got good?

169
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 9: Talking about the elderly gentleman they called in that his

170
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 9: wife and him both have twenty one year old vehicles. Well,

171
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 9: that puts me back to back when my dad was military,

172
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 9: so everybody would be getting new cars, like in nineteen

173
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 9: seventy three, seventy four.

174
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 7: So I asked my dad.

175
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 9: Everybody went around. The guy had Monte Carlo seventy four

176
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 9: Monte Carlo and it was sharp. And so when we

177
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 9: were walking back to the house, I asked my dad,

178
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 9: I said, you know, we've had that car soon when

179
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 9: he came back from Vietnam he bout sixty eight. I said,

180
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 9: when are we going to get a new car? And

181
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 9: he stops and he looks at me and he asked,

182
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 9: He says, does that car have that air conditioning.

183
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 7: I said, yes, sir.

184
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 9: He says does his I said yes, sir. He said,

185
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 9: how about a heater?

186
00:10:58,840 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 7: Same thing?

187
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 9: So I said yeah, but his has electric windows in it.

188
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 9: My dad looks at me and says, what are you

189
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 9: too good or too lazy to roll down that window?

190
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 7: You know.

191
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 9: I didn't say another word after that, but he says,

192
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 9: I don't have to keep up with anybody. And that

193
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 9: was the life lesson to me that I've had to say.

194
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 9: I have a fifty five bel Air and a ninety

195
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 9: six and Paula that I've had for thirty years because

196
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 9: I don't want the car payments. And it was like,

197
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 9: you know, no, I'm not going to do it because

198
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 9: this one's still runs and if I maintain it, it'll

199
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 9: last me forever.

200
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I think it depends on the person

201
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 3: and where you are. A new car is one of

202
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 3: the great joys in life, and the new car smell.

203
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 3: I remember nineteen eighty five my parents got a Buick

204
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,599
Speaker 3: Park Avenue and boy was that I ate to do.

205
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 3: I mean, that was special. I think it was probably

206
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 3: the first new vehicle they'd ever owned. And people we

207
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,599
Speaker 3: didn't have neighbors close by because we were out in

208
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 3: the country. But the word got out and people riding

209
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 3: bicycles over and walking over and they had to see

210
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 3: this new vehicle and the door would be open and

211
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 3: the ooh and in the awed man.

212
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 2: It was a treat.

213
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 3: You know, none of this stuff is very hard. It's

214
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 3: really not very hard. I think my biggest concern with

215
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: a fellow who called in who was so worried, is

216
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 3: this idea that somehow we're living through a bad time.

217
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 3: You're not living through a bad time. The early thirties

218
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:35,599
Speaker 3: were rough, the Carter administration rough. It just depends on

219
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 3: who you are, what you're doing, how much money you're

220
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 3: making and can make and should make and will make,

221
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 3: based on your decisions and your work ethic. When I

222
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 3: was young, I thought that the way you made more

223
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 3: money is you work hard. Is work hard. I'm no

224
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 3: longer of that opinion. There is something to be said

225
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 3: for working hard. If you're a ditch digger, work more hours,

226
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 3: if you're a cop, you work more hours. But for

227
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 3: most people in an increasingly digital world, it is working smart.

228
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 3: It is finding ways to achieve leverage, finding ways to invest,

229
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 3: finding ways to make more money in ways that do

230
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 3: not necessarily require more of your time or energy, but

231
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 3: may involve your capital. That being said, I just don't

232
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,719
Speaker 3: like the idea of the negative approach, because that's what

233
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 3: you've been told by CNN. Well, CNN's got John Bolton

234
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 3: every other night, and his house and office have been raided.

235
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 3: And I hope he ends up in prison. I desperately

236
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 3: hope he ends up in prison or dies of a

237
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 3: heart attack on the way because of the shame. And

238
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 3: don't send me an email saying, my god, that's not

239
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 3: very nice. I'm not nice. Did you just figure that

240
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 3: I'm not nice? I'm vindictive. I hate what those people did.

241
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: I hate it.

242
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 3: It's evil. Let's go to John John, you're on the

243

Speaker 7: Moir, I'm I all with you? Where have the John?

Speaker 7: Yeah?

Speaker 3: What what is going on? Where have you been?

249
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:33,160

Speaker 3: Have you been back to jail?

253
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 7: Oh? Hell no, that was a one and one alf

254
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 7: kind of thing.

255
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 3: Where are you living?

256
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 7: Oh, same place Miami clob the share story.

Speaker 3: were You were kind of barely holding on there.

260
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean I'm still barely holding on, but

261
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 5: you know, good spirited, and I have a lawyer on

262
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,360

Speaker 5: you wouldn't believe how little Rat's gonna die is gonna met.

266
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 5: I mean, it's really disheartening.

267
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 3: Because it makes me feel better about my life. Every shortcoming.

268
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 3: I feel like everything that hadn't gone my way, and

269
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 3: then I go, well, it could be worse. Okay, tell

270
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,359
Speaker 3: me that am m clovichar story.

271
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: Right, good fight, It's the Michael Barry Shows.

272
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 3: The New York Court of Appeals voided the nearly five

273
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 3: hundred million dollars in punitive penalties against the Trump Organization.

274
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 3: To his credit, seeing In legal analyst Ellie Hoenig has

275
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 3: called out Big Tish and the sham civil trial since

276
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 3: the beginning. Listen to his reaction to the court's decision.

277
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not wolf.

278
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 10: I have been skeptical of the attorney General's case for

279
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 10: a long time. I'm on record saying that this is

280
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 10: a huge win for Donald Trump anyway you cut it,

281
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 10: and this is a stinging rebuke to the Attorney General,

282
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 10: Letitia James. The finding here, it's a very long, complicated ruling,

283
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 10: but the bottom line is, while the finding of liability

284
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 10: against Donald Trump can stand for now, at least the

285
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 10: damages award, which started at three hundred and fifty million

286
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 10: dollars with interest, gets up close to five hundred million dollars,

287
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 10: that is thrown out. And the core reason for that ruling,

288
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 10: according to the judges, is essentially that there was not

289
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 10: enough of a showing here that there were actual victims.

290
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 10: And just to refresh people's memories, this is the civil

291
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 10: fraud lawsuit brought by the Attorney General. The core allegation

292
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 10: is that Donald Trump habitually overvalued his own assets when

293
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 10: he was trying to get bank loans from banks and

294
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 10: other lenders. And essentially the argument that Donald Trump made

295
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 10: below that has now had resonance in the appeals court

296
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 10: is you're talking about very sophisticated quote unquote victims. These

297
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 10: are billion dollar banks that made the loans got repaid

298
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 10: on the loans by Donald Trump with interest and actually

299
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 10: profited to the tune of millions of dollars. So it's

300
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 10: not the typical type of fraud case where you have

301
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 10: somebody stealing money from other people or ripping off unknowing consumers.

302
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 10: So this ruling by the appeals court is monumental. It

303
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 10: was also very unusual in that it took them nearly

304
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 10: a year to reach this decision. As Caitlin Poulantz just said,

305
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 10: the next step is going to be to go up

306
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 10: to the highest court in the state, the Court of

307
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 10: Appeals in New York State.

308
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 3: How did President Trump respond, Well, after the hell they

309
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 3: put him through, of course, he wasn't going to sit quietly.

310
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 3: On his truth social account, he posted a picture of

311
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 3: himself up close smiling, I mean a cheshire cat grin

312
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 3: while this played.

313
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 11: All I do is we you mean?

314
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 3: No matter what money, my man?

315
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 9: Every time, everybody go.

316
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 11: All I do is.

317
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 3: David, You're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir,

318
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 3: simply apply the paint. David, You're on the Michael Berry Show.

319
00:18:59,520 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 3: Go ahead.

320
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 6: Yes, sorry to bring this up on the open Line Friday,

321
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 6: but just a little pet peep. A lot of us

322
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 6: who we get there disabled veteran plates, and uh, sometimes

323
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 6: it takes a while to get enough to where we

324
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 6: can get the plates you at that disability or higher.

325
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 11: On then on to this portion of the Michael Base

326
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 11: Show is brought to you by Schlitz Small Liquor, smooth

327
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 11: like Sunday CHOI loud like Saturday night.

328
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 3: You can't have the bull crash in on a disabled veteran.

329
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 3: You can't control the bull, David, I'm sorry, can you

330
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 3: start over? The bull crashed?

331
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 6: Ah, it's fine. You used to drink that when I

332
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 6: was when I was young, but then kind.

333
00:19:58,560 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 7: Of moved on to other stuff.

334
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 6: It's just the airport system changed their policy to where

335
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,239
Speaker 6: if you happen to be working at the airport, they

336
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 6: won't allow you to use your privileges anymore. It makes

337
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 6: absolutely no sense because we don't pay anyways. And I

338
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 6: mean it's not a big, big giant thing, but it

339
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 6: is an inconvenience for people who've worked hard to go

340
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 6: through the system. And finally, I'm not a combat that

341
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 6: I'm not some kind of hero or anything, but you know,

342
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 6: we do get injuries while we're in and if it

343
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 6: wasn't for Camp Hope, I was just going there to

344
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 6: donate some food, my old smoke Maga cheese, and I

345
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 6: guess I had an episode or something that I had realized.

346
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 7: And I used to have the.

347
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 6: Mind frame that if you weren't a combat that you

348
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 6: shouldn't get disabled veteran benefits. And they changed my mind.

349
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 6: They said that's no. If you serve honorably and you

350
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 6: got injured, you need to go through the paperwork and

351
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 6: get it. So a lot of us did, and for

352
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 6: some stupid reason. Of course, it's one of the most

353
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:11,479
Speaker 6: corrupt parts of the government Harris County is the airport system.

354
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 6: But it's just I just wanted to voice it out there.

355
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 6: I'm sorry saying this on a Friday, all the good

356
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,719
Speaker 6: news with Bolton and everything like that, because a lot

357
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 6: of my brothers and sisters got serious injuries and lost

358
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 6: lives because of people like Bolton.

359
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 3: That is absolutely true. Those warmongers sent our boys into

360
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 3: war that they had no business sending them. They basically

361
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 3: try to take over of this country and want I

362
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 3: literally want to see him in prison. I want to

363
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 3: see Hillary in prison. I want to see Obama in prison.

364
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 3: I want them. I want it all to be known.

365
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 3: I want it all to be revealed. I want people

366
00:21:54,640 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 3: to see it. Alligator Alcatraz has been so popular as

367
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 3: the deportation facility because we're getting illegals out of this country.

368
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 3: They are here illegally. Alligator Alcatraz has been so popular

369
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 3: that now they are adding more. The latest in Nebraska.

370
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: You've heard about Alligator Alcatraz. Here in Texas, we love

371
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: Lone Star lock up. Now illegal aliens headed to the Midwest.

372
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: Get ready for the corn Husker cliff. Oh no, not

373
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: another dinner made of corn corn on the cob can

374
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: corn corn pudding.

375
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 3: How much more corn can a man take? This is

376
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 3: pure torture.

377
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 1: And if anyone thinks of escaping, good luck. Just wait

378
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: until one of these jokers want to try and escape

379
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: My uncle Bart's farmbacks up to the Cornhusker clink boy.

380
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 2: I have a surprise for these guys.

381
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: Got the old John Deere out and created a corn

382
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: maze in the face of our great President Donald J.

383
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 7: Trump.

384
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 2: They'll be lucky to get past his hair.

385
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: Coming soon, the Pennsylvania Poke, Kansas Cooler, Louisiana lockdown.

386
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 3: There's a gentleman named Dan Agan, who I guess I

387
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 3: met when he came on our Palm Beach trip or Aspen,

388
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 3: oh as became on an Aspen trip. Nice fellow. He is, uh,

389
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 3: he's a he lives he lives up like an Anderson

390
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 3: up in that area and he uh, he invested in

391
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 3: land years ago and now he sells off the timber

392
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 3: and it's it's about managing the land as it in

393
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 3: the regrowth and all that, and that's what he does.

394
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 3: And he contacted me about wanting to do a you

395
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 3: want to start a charity. He's donated every time we

396
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 3: do something. Every time we do something, Saint Jude camp

397
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 3: Pobe always donates. And he's said he and his wife

398
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 3: were starting a charity called we Won't Be Canceled and

399
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 3: we're gonna spend X amount of money. They had hoped

400
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 3: to raise money, but I think he's ended up at

401
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 3: this point just funding it himself. So a few weeks

402
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 3: ago we got we had a guest on named Douglas Mackie.

403
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 3: Douglas Mackie had made a funny joke on Twitter and

404
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 3: ended up being jailed and it hurt him. They wrote

405
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 3: him a twenty thousand dollars check after they heard him

406
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 3: on our show, which Vanessa Sivaj Ethan Him Victoria White.

407
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 3: This is the fourth person they've sent twenty thousand dollars

408
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 3: to to support them financially after they spoke out. How

409
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 3: cool is that? You probably know that Cracker Barrel is

410
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 3: going through a rebrand and they've taken away all the

411
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 3: adornment on their sign and they've simplified it with just

412
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 3: the same color scheme and brown lettering that says Cracker Barrel.

413
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 3: And they have been a topic of many news stories

414
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 3: this week and lots of discussion, And the truth of

415
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 3: the matter is, I think most people feel the way

416
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 3: I do about Cracker Barrel. We like the idea of

417
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 3: Cracker Barrel, but we don't really like the place or

418
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 3: the food. We like knowing it's there. There are certain

419
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 3: things that we like knowing or present, but we don't

420
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 3: ever we don't actually spend our dollars going there. The

421
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 3: thing about Cracker Barrel to me is that the concept

422
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 3: was supposed to be down home, old South grandma's cooking

423
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 3: comfort food. But if we're completely honest, it's one hundred

424
00:25:55,600 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 3: percent kitch. It's total and utter kitch. It is marketing.

425
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 3: People sitting around thinking about what we think we miss

426
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 3: about growing up but it's a corporation with no soul,

427
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 3: and it never has had a soul. So I'm seeing

428
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 3: articles written about Crocker Barrel made their name a good

429
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 3: Southern cooking and comfort food. That's not true. If I

430
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 3: want Southern cooking and comfort food, I'm not going to

431
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 3: a national chain for it. That was Grandies. There's a

432
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 3: reason Grandees didn't make it. There's a reason Shones didn't

433
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 3: make it. You can put a sign on the door, remember,

434
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 3: po folks, po folks. All right, so let's say, well,

435
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 3: well we'll put act, we'll we'll drop the G on everything,

436
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 3: put an accent there, talk like Southerners. Let's see, we'll

437
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 3: drink out it. We'll drink out of Mason jars. Why

438
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 3: would we do that. That's old South there, that's old

439
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 3: Oh okay, all right, Mason jars is China having Mason jars.

440
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 3: Get us a bunch of Mason jars. We'll put carpet

441
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 3: on the floor. Okay, yeah, yeah, and we'll we'll just

442
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 3: play Grandpa Jones on and string Bean on loop the

443
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 3: whole time. That's good. That's good.

444
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 7: Must see.

445
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 3: Is there a way you can install new doors that creek?

446
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 3: We want them to creak on day one, and uh,

447
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 3: you could go ahead and put a screen on there.

448
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 3: And with the screen, if you could put.

449
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 7: Up a little.

450
00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 3: What do you call it a spring, so it'll it'll

451
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 3: every time somebody goes out, even if they turn and

452
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 3: close it, it'll then clap three times. Oh that's good,

453
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 3: that's good. Is there a Is there a replica basket

454
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 3: hound where you can put over in the corner, or

455
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 3: maybe a cata hula something like that. What if we

456
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 3: used to pay some old lady to sit out in

457
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 3: a in a glider on the front porch and uh,

458
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 3: we'll put her in a rocking chair and we give

459
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 3: her a whole mess of purple hole peace. We just

460
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 3: have her sit there and shuck them. That'd be good. Yeah,

461
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:40,719
Speaker 3: that'd be good. What else can we do? Let's see, Uh,

462
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 3: maybe we'll we'll put a car in the next door

463
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 3: neighbors lot and we'll put it up on blocks and

464
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 3: let the grass grow up around it. That's good. That's

465
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 3: very authentic, very authentic. I like that, very authentic, very authentic.

466
00:28:55,640 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm. And uh, maybe we'll put a replica a

467
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 3: filling station out front. We'll have fella looks like goober

468
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 3: but not there, Cooter, and he'll he'll have a rag

469
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 3: in his overalls back pocket and a white shawl. That's good,

470
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,959
Speaker 3: that's good. What brand should we do, Oh, you can

471
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 3: put the old Pegasus or sind Claire, maybe golf, will

472
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 3: do golf.

473
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 2: Okay, do golf.

474
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll do hardwood floors inside.

475
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 7: Okay.

476
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 3: And uh, we'll get some moon pies. Yeah, we'll sell

477
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 3: we'll sell some chotchkeys.

478
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 7: Okay.

479
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

480
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 3: So before you go in, it'll be just like in

481
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 3: the airport where there's a gift shop to be and

482
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 3: then you'll go into so by the time they go

483
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 3: into the restaurant, they're so overloaded with how old South

484
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 3: historical comfort food back in the day in southern Mississippi,

485
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 3: they'll just be ready to go.

486
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 10: Yeah.

487
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, put some moon pies and put a

488
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 3: bunch of stuff that nobody wants, but you kind of

489
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 3: feel like an old Hallmark story. Yes, this is brilliant.

490
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 3: I like this is a concept.

491
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 2: Guys.

492
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 3: We can take this around the world. Just this just

493
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 3: cookie cutter. Pick this up and drop it wherever we go,

494
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 3: and we'll sponsor the Grand Old Lopry.

495
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 2: That's a great idea.

496
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And so every so they weren't ever actually

497
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 3: singing any songs. They'll just keep telling you how good

498
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 3: the grand ole opry is, that grand old lopry. It

499
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 3: sure is good, is it? Well, that is good, ma'amo.

500
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 3: But it ain't half as good as a cracker barrel.

501
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 3: I know, that's right. What you think over, Junior, You

502
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 3: just gonna sit and sleep all day, now, ma You

503
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 3: know I ain't sleeping. I'm just so hungry for some

504
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 3: biscuits and gravy at Cracker Barrel.

505
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 7: You not.

506
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 3: It's it's the whole routine. It's the whole kitch kitch

507
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 3: kitch kitch. Nobody craved anything there. I read an article

508
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 3: six months ago about the slow and sad, tortured death

509
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 3: spiral of Cracker Barrel is before all this stuff was announced,

510
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 3: And the problem was that the Cracker Barrel concept was

511
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 3: sort of the way BUCkies was some time ago, where

512
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 3: it was located on the highway, so it was a

513
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 3: place that you would drive and stop on the highway.

514
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 3: It was not designed as a local restaurant because people

515
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 3: want to go to Bessie and Bubba's, you know, they

516
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 3: want to go to the place that the local people

517
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 3: own and Cracker Barrel was a was what people thought

518
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 3: that kind of place was. It wasn't that kind of place,

519
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 3: it was what people thought that kind of place was.

520
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 3: So everything was designed completely like a Hollywood set for

521
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 3: this type of experience, and some people bought into it.

522
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 3: Some people did and there's nothing wrong with that. If

523
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 3: you you might have enjoyed grandies, that's fine. But the

524
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 3: whole thing was concept. It was selling a concept that

525
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 3: was created. It was not authentic. It was never authentic.

526
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 3: But the article was about how Cracker Barrel was trying

527
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 3: to decide, I mean, we're gonna dump this this place

528
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 3: or what. And the truth of the matter is I

529
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 3: hate their what what they're doing, and I love watching

530
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 3: them because they're DEI stuff. It was a horrible logo.

531
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 3: I thought it was a terrible logo. I don't like

532
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 3: the new one any better. But we're not really losing

533
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 3: anything here, we're winning. Another company is going away. If

534
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 3: you eat at Cracker Barrel, I'm sorry for you. Ri

535
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 3: I P I'll pour one out. But nobody really other

536
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 3: than playing that little that little thing that you hopped

537
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 3: over and you tried to leave it down to one.

538
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 3: Cracker Barrel was a place you ate on the road.

539
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 3: You never went to Cracker Barrel to Cracker Barrel to

540
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 3: eat dinner because you wanted to, because it was local

541
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 3: and it was good. It was a freeway stop like

542
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 3: an old Billups, or a love like a Bucky's, but

543
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 3: not nearly as good. I heard you
