Tag: Bryant Gumbel

About 25 years ago I was in New York City doing a “behind the scenes” TV story on NBC’s Today Show. Back then Bryant Gumbel and Katie Couric were the hosts and the show was mostly a news program then, not what we see pass off as morning news today. I’ve always had a love hate relationship with the brand. I’m one of those people who just wants to buy a product and be left alone. Starbucks made a decision to become a much more progressive company and they’ve put their money where their politics are in pushing those causes. The guys told them they were meeting someone, but the idiot manager called the cops. Instead of Starbucks just firing the idiot manager for racial-profiling and being an ignorant jerk, they required all Starbucks employees to get special training. Schultz announced he was looking at maybe running for president against Donald Trump in 2020. I don’t know if Schultz will run or even if he has a chance to win but I know for sure he has a right to run if he wants. Before we close this column, I’ve received several emails from people asking me my opinion on the new abortion laws in New York.
