lemonis: standard burger, come on down! ...i'm back to check on the progress at standard burger... how you doing, sir? good to see you. joe t.: good, brother. you, too. lemonis: so far, i've invested over $400,000 in this quick-service restaurant to make it a model for a national franchise. but what i've put in place has gone off the rails. sammy: bad burgers, bad fries, bad customer service... for the last 90 days, it's been [bleep] lemonis: and the partners are too busy fighting to fix it. joe t.: i'm the guy that's here every day... sammy: right, what's your problem? joe t.: ...and you're the guy that shows up once a month, that's what it is. that's the problem. lemonis: we have a big opportunity to grow this business. we have a franchisee scheduled to come here, but it looks like chaos to me. but if these guys can't grow up... sammy: i laid out all the kitchen equipment, designed the entire space -- joe t.: i know. if it wasn't for you, we'd all be up the [bleep] creek without a paddle. lemonis: i may have to cut my losses. i've had enough. my name is marcus lemonis, and i risk

standard burger is still open today, it's profitable, but the five guys are not together anymore.ouple of them are just doing their own thing. one of 'em was fired. in hindsight, i made a big mistake by investing there, in hindsight. it was a $750,000 error. another big disappointment for me in terms of follow-through, amazing grapes, a wine retailer in california with an absentee owner. so what do you do full-time? since you don't come here every day. no. i come in here probably, two, three times a week. -two, three times a week? -yeah. or two, three times a month? and guess what? amazing grapes closed. it's gone. i put $1 millions in that business. $1 million. and it closed, because there was a couple people there that did not want to follow the process. but for every business like amazing grapes, there's one like bentley's, a pet supply chain based in the chicagoland area. lovely people, but one hell of a messed up process. they had grown way too fast. every store looked different from the next. the merchandising is different, the layout is different, the lighting is different,

standard. >> then a cheese burger is not even in the happy meal. >> no, but if you would like one, we can giveyou one. >> why is head line they are taking cheese burger out of the happy meal. >> it is out of the official happy meal when you say hey instead of the fries can i get chips or salad, you have to make a change yourself. >> if i walk in there and i want a dam happy meal and i want a cheese burger in it, you will give it to me. >> i will still give thaw cheese burger. >> this isn't even a story. >> it is just not on the menu it is not officially on the menu but it ace burger place so they have cheese burgers around so if you want one you can get it, it is not like you are going to taco bell asking for a burger. they still have one. >> i don't to have meet you behind mcdonald's and you slip me a cheese burger in my bag or something. >> i will not sell you a cheese burger on the black market. >> it is kind of confusing. i'm a cheese burger girl, there has to be cheese, wow, it makes that much of a difference. if you want to make it, just take burger off too. >> just do salads. >> trying

caution workers before they pick it for more money to flip burgers or what have you that they pay attention. >> they need it to live. the standard costs more -- steve: i think on the point about destroying jobs. >> the minimum wage has nothing to do with what's about to happen. this is a cataclysmic change. >> as long as we have job, pay people a living wage. steve: i don't know, i think the -- >> you have no jobs, no income. steve: it could be a big transition. i am going to go with not guilty on this one. i don't think it's right to -- we don't know. the middle ground. >> no middle ground. >> not on this show. steve: number three, big tech is committing. this is my favorite one, you can tell. big tech is committing economic treason by helping china in bid for world domination. i'm thinkingly of handing over a.i. technology to the chinese government, qualcomm, you know, the price of access to china is handing over the technology. >> google had been resistant to china for years, they did take a stand. including owners of this network were friendly with the chinese and that's the issue, there was a great story in the new yorker t

standard protections. >> greg, can you tell us they targeted taco bell and then burger king in its campaigns and how did you map the campaign and how did you ultimately win? >> well, abuse taco bell makes farmworkers poor. everyone knew that. as i think susan mentioned in her intro, we spent nearly a decade -- and john messengered this as well -- at loggerhead wind the log growers, and we made some progress but as gerardo was saying, we wanted to just have a better life. wanted to have a community that could solve problem that had been plaguing is for years, and that wasn't happening. we had to find -- to take the analysis at deeper, the problem wasn't sexual assault. the problem wasn't slavery. it was the imbalance of power that made those things possible. that's what it is. it's the imbalance of power that make its it possible for someone to exert their will over someone else and that other person has no ability whatsoever to hold that person accountable and that's what existed so long. we needed to change that. so we had to find some sort of power that we woo allow to us take the scales and balance t

standard protections. >> grade, can you tell us about why workers targeted taco bell and in burger king in its campaign and how did you map the campaign and how did you ultimately went. >> was because taco bell makes farmworkers for. everyone knew that at the time. as i think susan mentioned in her intro, we spent nearly a decade, and jon mentioned this as well, at loggerheads with the local rovers. we made some progress. what we want to do was just have a better life, whatever community that could solve problems that evident plaguingr years, poverty deserted pieces. that wasn't happening. we had to find, and to take the analysis a bit deeper, the problem wasn't sexual assault. the problem wasn't slavery. it was the imbalance of power that made those things possible. that's what it is picked it's the imbalance of power that makes it possible for someone to exert their will over someone else and a person have no ability whatsoever to hold that person accountable. that's what existed for so long. we needed to change that. we had to find some sort of power that would allow her to take the scales and bounce th

standard here is genuinely surprising. >> but just to play devil's advocate and in all fairness, the gop memo was four pages long and there are many who put a nothing-burgerttached to that. there wasn't a lot of detail to that. this democratic memo is ten pages long and there's every reason to believe there are more details in it do you have any idea the amount of details, the type of classified information that may be in this memo? >> we don't know what details are in the memo but it is likely to be more detailed just because adam schiff had a role in drafting the memo and adam schiff, the ranking member of the house intelligence committee is one of two members of the house intel committee what has seen the underlying fisa application that provided the basis of both the nunes memo and the democrats' memo. now just by virtue of the democrats' memo being a bit longer, perhaps being more comprehensive than the nunes memo, it may contain more information. but it is worth noting that the democrats sent the fbi and the doj a copy of their memo to review last week. and the fbi and the doj did not come out with any kind of public statement or even come back to t
