McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski on The David Rubenstein Show

[@Alex609able]

David, you are one of the best interviewers. If you read this - good job sir!

[@thesuccesscommunity6916]

It's very noticeable how humble Top CEO's are... It teaches us that humility is the best path to success.

[@nickagger534]

They get to the CEO position because they're sharks. When the camera is rolling they're what they want you to see 'humble'

[@petejames1326]

@@nickagger534 x1million correct, its ALL PR AND ALL AN ACT, you dont get to the top by being a nice guy, you get to the top by being ruthless and taking no prisoners, he only has a nice smile and seems polite for the cameras, why do you think companies spend so much on PR, because like politics big business is all about PR, mcdonalds dosent want you to see how many chickens die to make a burger, they want you to see children smiling and laughing in a playground,lol its all PR and an act, he must have a great acting coach too i think to teach him how to smile better etc... like politicians do

[@Bminutes]

They are masters at coming across the way they want to come across. Not saying that is a bad thing, but listen to his word choice, and the way he carries himself - it’s all intentional.

[@goldengaming3613]

@@petejames1326”how many chickens die to make a burger” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@WillN00]

Should have asked him why the ice cream machines never work

[@12oranges]

If only it was an interview instead of an ad.

[@davidmcdowell8307]

Oh they definitely vetted that question

[@jerms452]

If McDonald’s is selling you ice cream at the forbidden hour, that’s a dirty machine. Haha

[@SKRUBL0RD]

because the vendor that makes the machines has the exclusive right to repair them

[@thomastallerico6340]

Famous for his great interview style.

[@rubavision6413]

Thanks for the vegan question David. Big fan here.

[@aaronrebello8319]

Massive Respect to him. Being a CEO of McDonalds! Top Boss!

[@waterisgreat3337]

Great interview David. Thank you for uploading these episodes to KZbin.

[@orkfund]

What a fantastic interviewer is David R.

[@CaptainPlanet007]

As always, GREAT INTERVIEW 👏🏼

[@jovanni2343]

I've had the chicken sandwich in Guangzhou, China and it is miles better than anything we have in the McDonalds here in the U.S.

[@MichaelEngeldinger]

thank you Bernie for always saying the right thing ! You don’t need to do that , but you do ,

[@maxyanimationsclips6338]

Why this interview is not longer only 24 min is very short 😑

[@darkheart1721]

11:20, straight shooter. I was surprised he would be honest about that, but I'm glad he did.

[@mtor9452]

This is as good as you're going to get in the mainstream 👍🙏

[@Clyde]

That McDonald's movie changed my life!! Love Ray's story

[@amafid]

He was an immoral ass

[@petejames1326]

i agree the movie THE FOUNDER was a great movie for anyone with any dreams of having a business i actually shed a few tears while watching the movie especially in the beginning when CROCK was in his tiny room listening to all the motivational speakers on tape etc.... like never give up etc....

[@lewisatkinson7277]

Interesting how he only credits Ray Kroch 🤔 Guess he really did re-write the McDonald's story.

[@chadbailey7038]

He sounds like a very capable CEO. 👏🏾!

[@Lunaroverwatch]

Subtle roast on Pepsi there LOL

[@firesonic1010]

Mans done sneak dissed the fuck outta pepsi.

[@patrickmccarthy5617]

David, you didn't ask if McDonald's will be bringing back a true dollar menu. I'm disappointed

[@willjennings7191]

David Rubenstein, good sir, I would check these subtitles for you, as a job, and I live in the Maryland area.

[@arigutman]

interesting interview to watch, I am a happy shareholder of McDonald's though I never eat there... Similar to Starbucks, have the stock, never drink the product... But happy both shell out dividends and have been returning capital to me...

[@shilpapathak2296]

Always enjoy this show. It would be great if you can interview Indian CEO such as Anand Mahindra, Uday Kotak, Aditya Puri.

[@petejames1326]

this whole interview is 99% FAKE, he never once mentions mcdonalds itself is not a fast food burger company ITS A PROPERTY EMPIRE, thats how mcdonalds is super rich not because of the burgers it sells but through its property and the amount of rent it charges its franchisees which is way above the market rent. funny how rubenstein fails to ever mention or ask about this.

[@bjvu9460]

how could he answer questions that weren't asked, genius? not really that intelligent or smart so why not just be quiet.

[@goldengaming3613]

⁠@@bjvu9460ummm, the comment you responded to is complaining that the interview is fake… so the important and interesting questions would be vetted before the interview took place

[@ayokamoss9314]

great interview.

[@briansteven6318]

Gracias por realizar este tipo de entrevistas Mr. Rubenstein.

[@nianghuchen]

I thumb up every single video before even watching it! Salute to David!

THE secret is the toxic vegetable oil and toxic sugar or high fructose corn syrup

Drive thru , take out , and delivery is what made Fastfood survive than the mom&pop bakery on an unknown block of a street.

[@garybala000]

I like their Big Macs and their stock. If you can only buy one, pick the stock.

[@qundraygray]

Lol “not in the business of telling people what they should, and should not eat.” Disgusting world. Idc how bad it is buy/eat it so we can make money.

[@MrChooChoo]

Notice no mention of the McDonald’s Brothers. Their corp even has their name. MCDONALD!!!

[@goldengaming3613]

Their model has nothing to do with McDonald’s today

[@michael57603]

David asks simple but insightful questions- why do the fries taste good? Why does the coke taste good? The answers reveal a lot.

[@brunettecoleman8617]

I just wish McDonalds was faithful to the customers that’s supposed them through the years.

[@cokezzz8249]

And they sell Coca Cola!

[@mmenso]

You know he is a great interviewer when you can watch him for 24 minutes interview an upside down mop wearing a suit and sporting a Hitler’s Youth haircut.

[@j7x54]

Brand loyalty.

[@danbert7634]

The body of the Keynote shows without any doubt, he is not eating so many BigMacs! :-)))

[@RetSol61]

". . . the amount of Bleach & Chlorine we use on the French Fries."

[@jonlucero626]

I would agree the Coca Cola is the best anywhere at McDonald’s

[@winstonsmith-ministryoftru1609]

Why do all CEOs have the same phenotype?

[@johncullinan6720]

It was the wages you didn`t pay your workers .They are your sucsess.

[@السيدالوحش-غ7ي]

Is the answer ever different from choice D?

[@richgeshel8735]

Maybe the success has something to do with the ACTUAL founder's original vision of fast food: The McDonald's brothers of San Bernadino, CA.

[@arktos298]

Manufacturing giant Caterpillar announced it would leave Chicago for Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas.

[@cliffshockley4406]

Is this is the guy that's fked up McDonalds so bad? Godawful new chicken sandwich, made the nuggets super tiny and now $9.xx for a combo! (With the meat smaller than 4pc nugget of prior). No salads. No specialty burgers. $1.49 for a hash brown, never have lattes in the morning. Always having to pull forward to a slot at drove thru. And on and on.

[@davidng2699]

No, Chris is a safe pair of hands. Your points are all valid! However, MCD is a big ship to turnaround. Give it time. :)

[@apatheticallyconcerned6574]

Only 2 reasons I go to McDonald's these days: fries and cold coffee. Everything else sucks.

[@karlmadsen9467]

Should have asked him why the McRib is doled out like Rolex Submariners.

[@agpwhiz]

Some boring and scripted answers from the CEO. Not candid or open at all, seems very rehearsed and robotic.

[@arktos298]

Wendys Coke is significantly less satisfactory to McDonalds. I do not go to Wendys for that very reason.

Most employees seem to be students? How about scholarships for higher education, or a pathway into corporate, or travel and accommodation to work in a franchise in another part of the country or the world, or support to be involved in a charity like program of their choice? A youth program for say, those studying and under 25 year old, etc? A Mc Donald's World Games Cook Off? ... ?

That will never happen under a corporation that tries to optimize costs to the cent

[@eleonoraformatoneeszczepan8807]

@@bluerabbitjeevs it sounds like you have experience with a corporation that tries to optimize costs to the cent? ... it makes it seem like there might not be be room to spare for change? ... perhaps, it could be worth more, closing the door on never, to open a new door, for equity to happen under a corporation that does not try to optimize costs to the cent? ...

First of all their fries are only good for 20 minutes. Secondly.. the soda are absolutely crap! Tastes like carbonated water and syrup that didnt mix well.
