Ep 275 | Cracker Barrel CEO Finally Addresses ‘Woke’ Rebrand Controversy | The Glenn Beck Podcast
“I feel like I’ve been fired by America,” says Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Masino in a vulnerable tell-all that goes behind the scenes into the explosive Cracker Barrel rebrand, which Glenn describes as “stupid from start to finish.” In August 2025, Cracker Barrel unveiled a minimal new logo with modern fonts, cozy colors ... but no nice old man and no BARREL for him to lean on. But it wasn’t just the logo; the restaurant chain was also getting a “modern” remodel. In short: We hated it. Social media erupted with brutal reviews, calling it “minimalist,” “soulless,” and “downright ugly.” Cracker Barrel stock tanked, its attempt to tamp down the pushback backfired, and it looked like this was the company's “Bud Light moment.” But then, Cracker Barrel surprised us. Its leaders listened. Within weeks, they scrapped the new logo, reinstated the original, and hit pause on every remodel. “COVID even made Cracker Barrel start drinking,” says Doug Hisel, senior vice president of store operations, as he takes Glenn behind the scenes as to what REALLY led to moment that brought Cracker Barrel to its knees. In Julie’s first interview since her time on “Good Morning America,” when she said the response to the new logo “was overwhelmingly positive,” she is here to say to America: “I’m sorry ... I regret it.” Now the question is: Will America forgive her?

Trump Accuses Democrats of Sedition — Here’s the Truth | Guest: Dave Isay | 11/21/25
Glenn has multiple examples that prove the Bubba effect is happening. Do you believe the explanations the government gives you for most stories or that justice will be served? Are a group of Democrat members of Congress advocating sedition? You cannot politicize the chain of control without breaking the republic. Glenn reads a list of red flags that always lead to a broken government. When a bank detects suspicious activity, it is required to file a “Suspicious Activity Report.” Over 14 years, JPMorgan filed seven SARs against Jeffrey Epstein, despite thousands of suspicious activity flags. Glenn discusses the failed Housing Stabilization Services program after years of evidence that it was primarily used for fraud. Ahead of Thanksgiving, Glenn speaks on the story of America and the importance of gratitude. StoryCorps founder and president Dave Isay joins to share how one small act of kindness can make a significant difference. Glenn discusses his podcast interview with Cracker Barrel’s CEO and how the interview originated.

Why the Massive Internet Outage Is More Dangerous Than You Think | Guest: Justin Haskins | 11/18/25
The internet is not a cloud; it’s a house of cards that is built on the foundation of a small number of companies. When one of those companies goes down, it becomes a widespread issue. We saw that today when Cloudflare’s latest outage took out X, ChatGPT, Spotify, and other websites. Glenn breaks down how each outage affects you and ponders what happens when a foreign enemy goes after some of these critical companies. Texas has become the home of hundreds of mosques, as Glenn warns of the political religion that could lead to the complete takeover of Texas and the West. As more information comes out about the man who tried to assassinate President Trump, the FBI’s failure comes to light. How did the FBI fail to stop somebody who openly threatened the president? Glenn and Stu further discuss the degenerate nature of the furry community.

Yet again, Jeffrey Epstein is in the news, as President Trump changed his mind and called for the release of all the files. Will Congress vote to finally release everything so we can put this story behind us? Glenn predicts that no one of high seniority in the government will be exposed if the Epstein files are released. Glenn speaks on rapper Nicki Minaj traveling to the United Nations to speak out against the slaughtering of Christians in Nigeria. CNN senior political contributor Scott Jennings joins to discuss his latest book, "A Revolution of Common Sense," which breaks down President Trump's return to Washington. The time of the progressive era is over, Glenn warns, and the time of the socialist era is arriving. Democrats used to love tariffs until Trump began implementing them. What happened? Glenn discusses his interview with the Cracker Barrel CEO over the botched rebrand attempt that nearly took the company down. This Christmas, be aware of toys for kids that are now powered by AI bots like ChatGPT and Grok, which can teach your children dangerous things, like where to find knives and matches.
