The Keith Edwards Show - MAGA Just Snapped Over This (I’m Serious)

Episode Date: August 22, 2025

Keith Edwards discusses how Cracker Barrel’s bold rebrand—scrapping its iconic “barrel man” logo for a streamlined text‑only design—is triggering a conservative frenzy. He points out how figures like Donald Trump Jr. and YouTuber Benny Johnson are calling the change “horrible” and accusing the chain of going “woke,” while critics on the left are mocking the meltdown as absurd across social and political lines.

Something terrible has happened. Something terrible has happened. It's probably one of the worst days imaginable for MAGA. A restaurant has changed its logo. That is what they were upset about. Cracker Barrel went from being this to this, and now MAGA is losing its shit. I swear to God, the president's son has weighed in on this.

January 6th, no big deal. military parade, no big deal, the militarization of DC, no big deal, but Cracker Barrow, that's just a step too far. Here's one person's response. You know, as someone who's against cancel culture, I'm done with Cracker Barrel. You done piss me off now. You know, first it was the gay rockers, and I don't mean Elton John. I'm talking about them gay pride rockers y'all sold a few years ago, and then you went and

change the logo. Hell, what's your motto down there? If it ain't broke, fix it? I bet. I bet. I walk in, I don't even recognize the place no more. It's all bright and woke. Before it was like eating in an antique store. How am I supposed to enjoy my eggs without the threat of an antique plower? My grandma's butter churn falling on my goddamn head. I can't do it. I can't do it. It's like sex. I need that fear and danger to enhance the experience. You know, ever since Dave Thomas died, this place has gone to shit. And I know Dave Thomas was Wendy's, but his death affected more than you think. But I digest.

You know, they took the white man from the logo. They removed the cracker from the barrel, and it's disgusting. You know, first they came from Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima, and I said everything. And then it was the lady from the Lando Lakes Box and still, I said everything. and now woke is at my doorstep. They went from Cracker Barrel to Woke Barrel. It's not just a restaurant. It's my heritage.

Now, clearly that was a comedian, but that is satire. Unfortunately, it's also based on the truth. And I'm going to show you, well, someone said, well, this is actually the redesign, release the files. It's very, it's very, now,

I got to say, I actually agree. Like, I think the Cracker Barrel redesign is awful, because this is how it used to look, and this is what they're planning on making it look now. Now, I do not think it is worth getting upset about. I think it's terrible, but unfortunately, this is the corporatization of brands we know and love, and I am with MAGA on the fact that I think it's terrible. Now, is it a sign of woke? That is the question, and I do not think it is.

Real quick, we have new merch. I'm so inspired by what's happening here in D.C. that I worked with an artist to create the sandwich thrower t-shirt inspired by Banksy. So you can get this t-shirt on the Keyes Debate Club website that's going to be a link below. And there's also a poster in case you don't want to wear it. You want to hang it up in your house. So please do check that out. 50% of all proceeds are going to go to DC's Coalition for the Homeless.

So please do check out that. merch and let me know if you get it. Thanks. Now, this is just, this is someone, this is someone being serious. This is not, now this is not satire. You've disappointed the entire country. This is what you took from us. You would think it's like the picture of someone being able to easily vote or something. I don't know. Or you, or like, but no, it's a picture of a restaurant. Now, someone else said another white liberal bitch ruining shit and it's this. is the CEO. It's gotten very bad, very quickly. Canceled. Congrats on your Bud Light moment. And you're done. Yeah. They're being very serious. Now, Donald Trump chined in, Donald Trump,

Jr., saying, what the fuck is wrong with Cracker Barrel? Because they decided to change their logo, which I agree. It's bland. But it's not the end of the world. It's a restaurant. I'm going to go throw up, actually. And it's only happens every few years with something really really bad happens or something. I mean, I'm physically going to put probably right now. Someone else said going on along on the bad and whackin. The craziest part of the cracker barrel redesign is that Trump is still covering up the fact that he's in the Epsom files. Yes, that is the craziest part about all of this, is that Donald Trump is in the Epsine files. Who cares? Who cares? Maga wants us to be distracted and a reporter, this guy's very funny. Dave Weigel

said, have yet to see a single Democrat condemn their cracker barrel rebrand. This is why they lose. Well, I've condemned it. I've condemned it for what it's worth. Benny Johnson says this is just sad. Benny Johnson, you are sad. Other mag of people saying the new look is awful. Used to have to wait an hour. Someone else said, got their finger of the pulse. Old time he digs made them different. The food is not competitive with the most upskill eateries. Lose the base. Lose the business. Why did they do this? Someone simply said, a lesbian did this. A lesbian into this would be a great t-shirt. That would be a great t-shirt. And then here is what Chris Maui, a friend of the show, I have to say about all this. Pracker Barrel rebranded today and Republicans are

furious, like outrage. And because I'm not an insufferable member of society, I didn't understand this at first. I was genuinely confused. And so I long on to this beautiful app Twitter. The first thing that's pointed out to me is the CEO's a woman. I'm like, oh, that makes sense because a bunch of conservatives hate everybody who doesn't look like me. But then I learned that cracker. barrel like the logo I've been to cracker barrel before the logo is like a cracker a white guy and a barrel and so it's like they removed the history and the heritage they were moving white people oh my if your history and your heritage wise in a fucking cracker barrel I have so many mean things I could say to you and I'm not going to say them but furthermore two days ago Donald Trump posts on his own social media site that he's tired of museums around the country including the Smithsonian talking about quote how bad slavery is and he's going after the Smithsonian because they're reporting about his impeachments. He's like, oh, that's not, that's not really what happened. This motherfucker wants to erase history and stop talking about all the awful things this country is done.

And that's okay for you. But cracker barrel is where you draw the line, motherfucker. Oh my God. I can't believe. I'm living in a sitcom, dude. I don't, I don't know. That's a good point. That's a good point. Yeah, Donald Trump is trying to erase our history. He's trying to control what museums can teach, and they're upset about the redesign of some restaurant. It defies logic. Now, someone posted, someone posted, uh, I heard Cracker Barrel went woke. So I went to Trump Burger, but it was closed. Anybody know what happened?

I know what happened. I know what happened. Owner of Trump Burger MAGA joints is nabbed by ICE and called illegal alien facing deport. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Trump Burger was actually being run by an immigrant and now no longer can operate. Roland Marez Baini, the restaurateur who co-owns the chain of Trump Burger restaurants, is facing an ouster from the United States for allegedly overstaying his visa after being arrested by immigration and customs enforcement. The 28-year-old Lebanese National arrived in the United States in 2019 on a non-immigrant visitor visa, which required. him to leave by February 12th. 2024, the vets say he allegedly failed to comply and was arrested by ICE on May 16th.

He was released on bond on June 13th pending court proceedings. Complete with its Instagram were the Trump-branded burger buns satirical menu items and even Trump impersonators questioning patrons. Trump Burger opened its third restaurant in the Houston area in April. A fourth franchise is due in Bay City. And this guy could likely get deported because of the person he supports. So they're upset about Cracker Barrel, not probably as so upset about this. Chris is right. Are we living in a sitcom? Well, it's not a very funny one. Maybe it's more of a horror show.
