And I'm so glad you're carrying on Scott's legacy by continuing this and continuing to meet together and sip together.
And I'll be tuning in sometimes.
You know, that's what I did with Scott.
You know, unfortunately, with four kids and a farm and all of the projects we're doing, I don't get to do it every day.
But it is...
If I'm going to watch something in the morning, it's going to be this, just like it was with Scott.
The fact that everybody has some sort of connection to McDonald's means that when you see them do something, it feels like there's some extra power behind it.

McDonald's is a huge win because obviously when you look out at the marketplace in the world, there's certain brands that are just so noticeable. Everybody knows what it is and they have a feeling associated to it. You've got these other corporations out there that are trying to decide what they're going to do next.

This election and before it was really the beginning of an awakening among the silent majority that being a silent majority is actually kind of a stupid thing to do.

I think what you're going to see is companies go into multiple boxes. One will be a total elimination of DEI and the other box will be an attempt to try to save it by renaming it and things along those lines. But we're going to sniff that out and we are going to make things very difficult for companies to do that.

normal everyday people, they're very acutely aware of their buying power and how they can vote with their dollar now. And so we've made that point very clear to these companies at this point where many companies just fear being next and they don't want to be next.

So there have been several high-profile organizations that have recently backed off of DEI. The latest is Walmart. Just last week, that company made a number of different pledges.

It also said that it would ensure that transgender products were not marketed to children on its website.
