This legislation, being
this legislation being
introduced, was major leagues,
baseballs decision to pull the
all star game out of Atlanta
Georgia.
It did so based on a pile of
lies.
You go to a game right now and
pick up your tickets at the will
call ticket booth. They will ask
you for identification to vote,
so major league baseball
understands the value of
identification and they
apparently dont think they are
being bigoted racist when they
ask you for a drivers license
to pick up your tickets,
Ainsley Senator TED Cruz
blasting, the mlbs decision to
move the all star game out of
Georgia and thats, where we find
PETE Hegseth
hes having breakfast with
friends at the Marietta Diner in
Cobb County
thats, where the baseball team
Wasgame was supposed to be held
PETE. This is the county where
the baseball game was supposed
to be held.
They are still trying to make
sense why it isnt
for the Woke crowd that came in
and tried to get rid of it.
They are not here to deal with
the aftermath thats. What we are
here to talk about this morning,
we have Gus. How do I say your
last name,
Chellios
PETE such a great host for Us
Covid changed your business
completely.
Did you a big overhaul?
What did you do here
had to make changes quickly?
I figured the dining room was
closed.
We opened a 24 hour, drive thru,
anything you want any time you
want at a diner.
These were booths and became
a drive thru
a packed, Crif threw and diner.
How is business now?
Everything has been very
very busy.
Show us a little bit more of
the diner too.
We were talking earlier about
the all star game and the impact
talk to us. How hard was that for
you guys?
I still dont know I dont
know what happened
down the road
beautiful park, beautiful
stadium.
We were all excited about it
PETE. You had the NBA all star
game here. What was that like? It
was awesome.
All the businesses thrived from
it. We were looking forward to
the baseball
PETE. It was downtown.
You are not downtown. It was
packed here when the all star
game T was crazy,
PETE all STAR game down the
road. It would have been packed
too.
Its a shame
I had somebody tell me this
story. They told me three times I
still dont understand what
happened.
Pete. Some people were mad about
the fact that apparently,
everything in Georgia is racist,
except the masters which still
got to be here
and the all star game was
like right down the road
PETE. How about getting workers
back to work here?
Thats been a challenge
I dont know where theyre,
but we have our family here, our
team.
We are doing great,
but we could use more people.
Definitely
I think a lot of restaurants
could use more people right now.
Pete. Do you think some of that
has to do with unemployment?
I really dont know because
even the busy restaurants, where
everybody is making good money
cannot find enough help.
We will make it.
We just got to run a little
faster

Gus. The guy knows how to run.
