"My concern is that I feel like socialists are taking over," Whole Foods CEO John Mackey tells me on today's show. "They're marching through the institutions. They're…taking over education. It looks like they've taken over a lot of the corporations. It looks like they've taken over the military. And it's just continuing. You know, I'm a capitalist at heart, and I believe in liberty and capitalism. Those are my twin values. And I feel like, you know, with the way freedom of speech is today, the movement on gun control, a lot of the liberties that I've taken for granted most of my life, I think, are under threat."

Maybe he’ll have his stores pull down the 30.06/30.07 signs… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Likely not.

“At the end of August, Mackey, born in 1953, is retiring from Whole Foods.”

Besides Whole Foods is owned by Amazon who’s definitely not pro-2A.
