DON'T USE THE WORD ORIENTALS
BECAUSE IT'S OFFENSIVE TO MANY
ASIANS.
I WANT TO POINT IT OUT.
>> I'M SORRY.
DAGEN: DOES THE WHITE HOUSE
NEED TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE BECAUSE, HEY,
IT'S GOING TO BE PAINFUL FOR
SOME OF THESE BUSINESSES?
THE REPRESENTATIVES WHO COME ON
TV, DO THEY NEED TO SAY AND IS
OUR ECONOMY STRONG ENOUGH RIGHT
NOW, THAT'S THE WHY NOW THEY
PICKED THE TRADE FIGHT, BECAUSE
OUR ECONOMY CAN WITHSTAND IT AND
CHAI
CHINAS, MAYBE NOT.
>> I'M NOT A WORLD ECONOMIST.
I DO KNOW THE CORPORATIONS ARE
GOING TO ADVOCATE FOR THEIR OWN
COMPANIES.
AND OUR ECONOMY IS STRONG.
I'D HATE TO DO THIS FROM A
POSITION OF WEAKNESS.
WE'RE GETTING STRONGER EVERY
DAY.
IF WE'RE EVER GOING TO DO THIS,
NOW'S THE TIME TO DO IT.
I THINK IT'S OKAY FOR CEOS TO
TALK ABOUT OR FARMERS TO TALK
ABOUT THE PAIN THEY'RE GOING TO
GET.
IT KEEPS EVERYBODY ALERT TO HOW
COMPLICATED THIS IS.
DAGEN: I WANT TO MOVE ON TO
YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS.
IT'S ABOUT SOMETHING NEW.
IT'S ABOUT THE SERVICE, ED.
>> I TELL YOU, I HAVE A FOND
AFFECTION, IF YOU WILL, FOR
CHICK-FIL-A.
I THINK IT'S A COMPANY THAT'S
WELL GROUNDED, IT'S GOT A POINT
OF VIEW, IT TAKES GOOD CARE OF
ITS EMPLOYEES AND FRANCHISEES.
THERE'S A LOT TO BE SAID FOR THE
COMPANY.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY IT ALL
COMES DOWN TO HOW MUCH MONEY YOU
MAKE AND HOW MANY OUTLETS DO YOU
HAVE, HOW GLOBAL ARE YOU, HOW
STRONG ARE YOU, WHO'S ON THE
RISE AND HOW DO CUSTOMERS VOTE
WITH THEIR POCKETBOOK.
THAT'S WHAT COUNTS MOST.
>> IT ALSO HAS TO DO WITH THE
CHICKEN MINIS WITH THE HONEY ON
TOP.
THOSE ARE THE BREAKFAST TO ME.
>> CHICK-FIL-A IS THE NEW
AND HOW BAD IT IS FOR YOUR
HEALTH, WHICH IS NONSENSE.
THEN YOU TURN AROUND AND STAY
DEEP FRIED CHICKEN IS THE BEST
THING YOU COULD EVER EAT.
COME ON.
>> ARREST
>> ARBEST
>> ARBY'T
>> ARBY'S IS NUMBER FOUR ON THE
LIST.
>> WE LOVE MEAT.
DAGEN: WHAT'S THE TAG LINE?
>> WE'VE GOT THE BEEF.
>> SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
McDONALD'S MEANTIME, ED, THIS
IS A TOPIC THAT YOU'RE ALWAYS
HOT ON, ANNOUNCING PLANS TO ADD
ROBOTS TAKING OVER JOBS.
ROBOTIC FOOD SERVICE WON'T
ELIMINATE HUMAN WORKERS YET DUE
TO HIGH COST RELATIVE TO HUMAN
BEINGS, RIGHT, ED?
>> THERE'S NO QUESTION.
WE'RE SEEING AN UNUSUAL
SITUATION IN THIS COUNTRY IN THE
SERVICE INDUSTRY.
ENTRY LEVEL WORKERS NEED TO HAVE
BASIC SKILLS TO EARN A MINIMUM
WAGE.
THE MINIMUM WAGE IS GOING CRAZY
IN A LOT OF CITIES AND THE
INTERESTING THING TO ME IS I
TALKED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE IN
HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY.
THESE YOUNG PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO
WORK TODAY AND THEY DON'T EVEN
HAVE ESSENTIAL BASIC SKILLS.
THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO COUNT
MONEY.
THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO WASH
FLOORS.
THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO WIPE
TABLES.
HOUR.
THAT IS NOT SUSTAINABLE.
YOU'LL SEE MORE AUTOMATION.
YOU'LL SEE THE BOTTOM END OF THE
HOSPITALITY ARENA AND CHEAP
HOTELS WILL GO BY THE BYE.
YOU CAN'T FIND PEOPLE TO MAKE
BEDS, WASH DISHES, SERVE
CUSTOMERS.
THERE'S AN INTERSECTION OF A LOT
OF BAD EVENTS.
DAGEN: MORGAN, DOES THAT CHANGE
-- DOES THIS ATTITUDE AMONG SOME
YOUNG PEOPLE, THESE MILLENNIALS
WHO ARE ALSO FIGHTING FOR OUR
ABOUT HARD CORE WORK ETHIC.
>> I THINK IT DEPENDS ON WHERE
YOU WERE RAISED.
I WAS A WAITRESS, I WORKED AT
SUBWAY WHILE GETTING THROUGH
COLLEGE.
IT DEPENDS ON YOUR HOME LIFE AND
WHERE YOU WERE RAISED.
DAGEN: WE TALK ABOUT
CHICK-FIL-A, THEY'RE RAISING
THEIR MINIMUM WAGE OUT IN
CALIFORNIA TO $18.
SO AGAIN, THEY'RE WILLING TO PAY
UP IN TERMS OF REALLY GREAT
EMPLOYEES AND I THINK THAT
REALLY SPEAKS TO THE TYPE OF
PEOPLE WHO WORK AT CHICK-FIL-A.
>> WELL, IT ALSO -- KEEP THIS IN
MIND.
THAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT ACROSS
THEY'RE EASILY PAYING THAT KIND
OF MONEY, JUST BECAUSE THERE'S
NO WORKFORCE.
DAGEN: GOOD TO SEE YOU, ED, AS
