And welcome to the program on your Wednesday afternoon. Very nice day outside today, but we start out with some bad news. There was a shooting a mass shooting at a, in Minneapolis at the Annunciation Catholic Church and School right there in Minneapolis. Police say that two children are dead. 17 people were injured, including 14 children.

The gunman, took his life. That's a key thing. Took his life inside the church. Minneapolis police officer Brian O'Hara told reporters that the children who were killed as they were killed as they sat in pews were age eight and 10. Two of the 14 children injured are in critical condition.

He said the coward who fired these shots ultimately took his own life in the rear of the church. Now there is video online of this person that was the shooter. Born Robert, changed his name to Robin, the female spelling of that, and it's, left behind a video manifesto on one of the weapons that the shooter had. It said, kill Donald Trump. Several other things were written on there.

He appeared to have a target with the face of Jesus at the head of it. Robin Westman, like I said, who posted a manifesto on social media just a little while ago, including a video showing the words kill Donald Trump written on a firearm. Had other things written on some of the magazines and the firearms that were in his possession. But this was another folks, let me tell you something. These people over on the left, they're always talking about, we all we gotta stop the right wing violence.

We gotta take a real hard, serious look at what's going on with some of this left wing violence. And I'll just give you I'll give you a couple of great examples here. So we got the Minnesota church shooter, trans, Republican party firebombing, gender fluid, Nashville shooter, trans, Colorado test, Tesla arsonist, trans. Colorado Springs shooter, nonbinary. Aberdeen shooter, trans.

Denver school shooter, trans. Iowa school shooter, trans slash gender fluid. AMC stabber, trans. Anybody else starting to see a pattern here? Because I certainly am because it's glaring.

When we normalize mental illness, this is what happens. And, automatically, the Democrats came out, and they started I mean, even even before we knew anything about this, even before that we we saw the the video manifesto, even before we knew the shooter's name, even before we knew the the name of the victims. Chuck Schumer is coming out talking about gun control. Then you've got Amy Klobuchar. She's out there blaming you.

Think about guns and all the work we've done to ban these, automatic rifles and Not automatic. Was not automatic. Not automatic. There's a huge difference between automatic and semiautomatic. To, do something when it comes to, the background checks and everything, and we keep getting thwarted.

We were able to pass a limited measure on a bipartisan base. Okay. Background checks would not have stopped this. Back this person, according to police, had minimal interactions with the police. We're talking bare minimum, maybe a traffic ticket or something like that.

Let's go to John in Greenwood and talk to him about the shooting. John, welcome. Hey, Charlie. How are you doing, buddy? I'm good.

What's up, man? Well, I just wanted to chime in on this. I think, you know, describing, you know, how this how these mass shootings are going, I think I've solved the problem as far as, you know, background checks go. Okay. Instead of doing an actual background check, let's just check their affiliation, what party they're with.

And if they're Democrat, they don't get a gun. How about that? I would love to see that. That brought that might solve a lot of problems. You're right.

Let ...

H1 - Segment 2 - Wed Aug 27 2025 - Yesterday we got the news that Cracker Barrel has reversed course

And welcome back to the program. Glad to have you along with us on this Wednesday afternoon. Let's see here. Alright. So, we'll talk about the school shooting, church shooting, coming up more in just a second.

But yesterday, we got the news that Cracker Barrel had reversed course. Now this is what they they came in. They did all of this hullabaloo about changing, you know, the way they look and and changing the logo and all of that stuff. And you guys absolutely I mean, you lost your your heads about it. I don't mean that in a bad way.

I mean that in a good way because rightfully you should have because this is this is one of, you know, a lot of people's favorite places. So they're going into they make this unbelievable marketing change, which cost them, like, 7 was it $700,000,000 that they were doing this whole renovation with? Well, you guys let your voice be heard. And then yesterday, they came along and they changed it back. They said, alright.

We've heard you. Now first, they put out that ridiculous statement, which basically said, sorry, not sorry. But then I think the shareholders got to got to talking to the CEO, and they were like, okay. We'll go back to the old thing. But here's what really he was one of the bad things that really happened.

They started people started looking at Cracker Barrel. Cracker Barrel used to be part of Americana, used to be a great place to go, nostalgia, all of that. You could go and get good food, and you could just you know? And it was a thing. It was just a thing, and everybody just assumed that that was a good thing.

But when you start looking into Cracker Barrel and what they actually stand for as a corporation, Well, this is this is one of the worst thing that that could have happened to them because now people started looking into them, saying, hey. Let's check out Cracker Barrel a little bit more and see what's going and did you know they have a thing called porch to pride? You know, all the Cracker Barrels have that front porch. Well, they got a thing called porch to pride. Not only that, they're one of the biggest supporters of the Nashville pride parade and festivities.

Saw a video last night of a a drag queen show sponsored by Cracker Barrel. So I a a lot of things a lot of times, things just aren't what they seem. So one of the questions I'm gonna have for you today, Charlie bay Charlie, I read that they basically got a billion dollars worth of free advertising on that stunt. Well, that might just offset what they spent on the remodel. Maybe.

Because I know a lot of people out there just aren't going back. And when they find out more about Cracker Barrel and what they really stand for at a corporate level level, I think a lot of people are gonna say, you know what? I'm gonna go somewhere else. I'm gonna find something else. So my question for you today is now that they've decided to keep uncle Herschel leaning on the Cracker Barrel, not only on the road signs, not only on the menus, but also on the store sign itself, is all forgiven.

Will you be patronizing them again, or have you learned out more about the corporate, culture of Cracker Barrel? As he Charlie said, I think it's racist. They call it cracker. I know it actually has to do with the barrel. That's the cracker barrel, barrel full of crackers.

Charlie not going back, to they they should have let me know about it. There you go. So, Charlie, why does the left always say it's the gun? We'll get to that in just a second. But I do think people need to look more into Cracker Barrel, and especially somebody out there named Robbie Starbuck.

Now Robbie Starbuck has been unbelievable at getting corporations to change their DEI, policies, their pride affiliations. Like I said, he's been very successful. He's gotten I mean, he's got a long hit list here. Tractor Supply Company, John Deere, Harley Davidson, Brown F ...

Let me tell you. I this mass shooting stuff to me has gone on until when a plane crashes, Charlie, we put every single piece of it back together. Right. Okay? Because we wanna know what caused it.

We don't want ...
