Episode with David Gibbs, III

While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years. Wealth concentration in the United States is top of mind these days. While it's tempting to see this as a recent trend, it is instructive to look at what was happening in American politics decades ago and see how many of these forces were set in motion in the 1970's.  Kim talks with Prof. David Gibbs about his book, Revolt of the Rich, How the Politics of the 1970s Widened America's Class Divide. Prof. Gibbs reviews decisions that were made during the Nixon and Carter administrations that continue to reverberate in our world today.  For example, during the first oil shock in the early 1970s, President Nixon actively worked to keep oil prices high to support the Shah of Iran and to prop up the dollar.  The result was financialization and deindustrialization. Later in the decade, President Carter was central to the trend of deregulation.  The net effect of these decisions was an erosion of the foundations of the American middle class.  Technical note: we had an issue with one of the microphones on this interview that affected the sound quality.  Sorry if this affects your enjoyment of this episode. Background on David Gibbs: David N. Gibbs is professor of history at the University of Arizona, whose past research has emphasized political conflicts in Sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe, and Afghanistan. He has published extensively in academic journals as well as the London Guardian, Los Angeles Times, Christian Science Monitor, Le Monde Diplomatique, Salon, and Jacobin. His third and most recent book is entitled: Revolt of the Rich: How the Politics of the 1970s Widened America's Class Divide.

What can Hooters due to become relevant to the U.S. customer again? Then they discuss Yum Brands' announcement that CEO David Gibbs would retire in 2026, opening up a coveted position at the largest restaurant company in the world. That leads into a conversation about the tariffs that President Trump has put in place on global trade partners, which will undoubtedly have an effect on restaurant companies. And in this week's extra serving, senior food and beverage editor Bret Thorn joins to talk about Technomic's updated Ignite data, which reveals performance among the biggest chains in America in 2024.

Acts 20 - David Gibbs - 2025 Servants' Conference - Tuesday Evening, March 18, 2025 by First Baptist Church of Hammond

This week on the Rick Flynn Presents podcast we remember our 39th President of the United States JIMMY CARTER. Our special guest is University of Arizona History Professor DAVID GIBBS. President Carter passed away, on December 29, 2024, at the age of 100. This interview was recorded the very next day at 11:00 a.m. eastern time. David Gibbs, who has studied the Carter presidency for the past 15 years, talks about this President's legacy and new evidence that shows America's right turn in domestic and foreign policy really began during the Carter presidency, not — as is widely believed — during that of his successor, Ronald Reagan. “Evidence from newly opened archives show that Carter initiated the deregulation of U.S. industry and finance, reduced the power of organized labor, lowered taxes on business, and imposed austerity measures that intentionally raised unemployment among working people. Carter also augmented military spending for the first time in a decade, diverting resources from domestic programs, while increasing U.S. interventions overseas.” Gibbs says, “Carter should also be remembered for his support of racial justice and his many impressive achievements after he left the presidency. But we must not whitewash his central role in overturning FDR's New Deal and concentrating wealth among the top 1 percent of the U.S. population.” Gibbs is a professor of history at the University of Arizona. He is the author of “Revolt of the Rich: How the Politics of the 1970s Widened America's Class Divide.” Contact him at dgibbs@arizona.edu

Yum! Brands recently reported their earnings, a significant event for any publicly traded entity. CEO David Gibbs provided some noteworthy news during the call. He shared: "I'll now share some more details on the fourth quarter specifically. During the quarter, top line sales were impacted by the conflict in the Middle East region with varying degrees of impact across markets in the Middle East, Malaysia and Indonesia. This represented a low single digit headwind to Yum!'s overall fourth quarter same-store sales growth." The company's activities reflect the thematic trends that Gibbs elaborated on during the call. Yum! Brands continues to advance its digital strategy, introduce innovative products and service, and institute sustainability initiatives. In the digital domain, the company, accordingly to statements made during the earnings call, has generated nearly $30 billion in digital sales in 2023. This figure demonstrates their commitment to leveraging digital platforms vis-à-vis innovative proprietary technologies and AI-driven capabilities to improve operations and provide a competitive advantage to their franchise partners. Innovation remains at the core of their offerings. Gibbs pointed to Burger King Singapore's marketing campaign and KFC's Omakase dining experience as representative of their ambition to engage consumers using unique strategies and diversify their brand's appeal. Yum! Brands sustainability drive reflects their corporate social responsibility. As referenced by Gibbs during the call, initiatives like Burger King's plant-based menu signifies the company's commitment towards offering sustainable food options and reducing their environmental footprint. As reported during the earnings call, Gibbs foresaw a strong year ahead for the company. "Looking ahead, we expect development in 2024 to continue at a robust pace. In the first half, KFC will reach 30,000 units and Pizza Hut will top 20,000 units. At KFC, we enter 2024 with more development commitments than last year," he stated. He mentioned a potential growth opportunity in China, with Yum! Brands planning to expand their KFC restaurants' reach in that market. It's worth noting that this analysis is based on information derived solely from the earnings call and requires further research for a comprehensive understanding. Based on the company's earnings call and its activities aligned to the themes discussed, Yum! Brands seems to continue emphasizing on their digital strategy, innovation and sustainability. However, the company, like any other, also faces challenges and uncertainties that may influence their path ahead. Despite the contributions made to their portfolio and business strategy, the landscape of the quick-service restaurant industry remains highly dynamic and competitive.
