We should also be a little lucky, 21 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:01.840 so we're trying right now. Dan Walden, he's the CEO 22 00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:03.000 of ammunition depot. 23 00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.000 Man, you like that? Think about the machine gun? Huh 24 00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:06.480 I do? 25 00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:08.799 I do, Tom, Thanks for having me. And you know, 26 00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:11.319 I say the same thing. Your guns are hungry. You 27 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:14.920 got to feed them. They get sad in the safe, sitting. 28 00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:15.439 There all alone. 29 00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:16.079 You here. 30 00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:17.599 You don't want to do it out here. You got 31 00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:19.200 to get them out. Yeah, you gotta get him out. 32 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:20.680 You got to feed them, you gotta exercise them. 33 00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:23.000 There It is all right. So what's the story? What 34 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.319 is the ammunition depot? Where does this come from? Yeah? 35 00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:28.519 Sure, so ammunition depot. 36 00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.879 We've been in the market for fifteen years and we 37 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:37.840 really just saw the need for the easy ability, good quality, 38 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:41.920 good selection, but most importantly, great customer service. 39 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.239 So there were certainly many people out. 40 00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:47.920 There that were already selling ammunition onlines, the big names 41 00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:50.840 that everybody knows, But where we saw a need in 42 00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.560 the market was on customer service that just won't quit. 43 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:55.760 And so when I talk about this, one of the 44 00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:58.560 things that I say all the time is no reasonable 45 00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:01.959 person will leave an interaction with ammunition deeople and happy. 46 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.719 And the reason for that is not because we're perfect. 47 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:08.479 Nobody's perfect. When we mess up, we own it and 48 00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:11.599 we fix it. It's really not a hard thing to do. 49 00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:15.319 It's just expensive and we've decided that it's worth doing. 50 00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.719 But you also have to be willing. You have to say, Okay, 51 00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.800 this is going to be our core value. This is 52 00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:22.560 what we're going to do, is we're going to try 53 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.280 to make sure that everybody is satisfied and do whatever 54 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.719 it takes to get there. Tell me about the company 55 00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:29.400 and ammunition, Deepert, what do you guys have? 56 00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:30.680 What do you do? Yeah? 57 00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.280 Sure, so we're one of the larger online suppliers of ammunition, 58 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.759 firearms and shooting accessories. So, as the name would indicate, 59 00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.159 ammunition is a very large part of the business, but 60 00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:43.759 we do other things also, firearms and shooting accessories, magazines, 61 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:47.840 reloading equipment, gear, you know, all of these kinds of things. 62 00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:49.680 But our red and Butter is ammunition. 63 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:50.319 We've got a. 64 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:55.479 Great selection and near the best pricing in the market 65 00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:59.000 across everything that we do. We don't try to be 66 00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.400 absolutely the best best price in the market on every 67 00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:04.759 product because if you do, you can't provide the appropriate 68 00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.520 level of customer service. So our internal reviews show that 69 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.960 we're among the fifteen percent best on everything that we sell. 70 00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:13.120 In the market, and that's really where we strive to be. 71 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.919 We want to be there for our customers forever, not 72 00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:21.000 just when things go crazy, and not just when things 73 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:22.439 aren't crazy. 74 00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:24.879 Like now and we're in a more normal, you know market. 75 00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:25.199 Price. 76 00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.400 You know, I look at price. Everybody looks at prices online. 77 00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.199 Very nine millimeters is twenty three cents or twenty four 78 00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:34.319 cents or whatever it is, you know, and with people 79 00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:38.240 will strain to try to say one or two cents around. 80 00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:41.439 It's exactly right, and you can bend over backwards and 81 00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:43.479 go to whoever. 82 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.520 Maybe happens to be cheapest that week, and you know, 83 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:48.680 risk that if something goes wrong, they're not going. 84 00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:49.960 To be there, and that they're not going to have 85 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:51.199 what you need and they're not going to be able 86 00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.439 to stay behind their product. But the other thing that 87 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:55.879 we do, and it's a good point that people kind 88 00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:59.159 of driving ten miles to save a penny on a 89 00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:02.199 tank a guess we all know that the prices are 90 00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:03.639 going to move in this market. 91 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:07.520 When people panic and there's panic buying out there, the 92 00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:10.120 prices go up. And we actually hate those environments. 93 00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.800 Our customers are not happy paying those rates for ammunition 94 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.360 we're not really so happy selling them there either. 95 00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:18.240 The reason we have to. 96 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.079 Sell them there is because our costs go up when 97 00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:24.839 that happens. And so we have been working across our 98 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.240 entire fifteen year history to kind of innovate and bring 99 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:29.519 as much value as we possibly can to our customers. 100 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.920 And we're not really ready to announce this yet. 101 00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:35.839 So I'm going to tease a little bit, but in 102 00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:38.199 the coming weeks, we're going to be releasing a product, 103 00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.040 a new way for customers to buy ammunition so that 104 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:44.720 they can build an ammunition reserve now in a normal 105 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:47.360 market price environment, so that they do not have to 106 00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:50.759 participate in the panic buying when things go crazy, and 107 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:53.399 they'll know that they have access to ammunition that was 108 00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.120 reasonably priced from somebody that they can trust. 109 00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:00.120 Oh okay, you and I have never talked before. There's call. 110 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:03.759 I am just gonna I'm going to make a guess here. Okay, 111 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:06.759 sure you can confirm or not confirm. But I have 112 00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:10.480 been saying for ten plus years to everybody who would 113 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.000 listen in investing, they call it dollar cost averaging, and 114 00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:15.839 buy a little bit, buy a little bit, buy a 115 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.279 little bit. I've been telling people, do the exact same 116 00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:20.839 thing on your AMMO by one hundred grounds, one hundred rounds. 117 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:22.800 You know, when the prices are up by a little bit, 118 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:24.639 when the prices are down by a little bit, before 119 00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:26.079 you know what, you're going to turn out and go, Wow, 120 00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:28.040 I've got a whole bunch of AMMO here, and I 121 00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:31.240 don't really care what the price fluctuation is. Am I 122 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:31.959 getting close. 123 00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:36.560 You're a smart man, You're very very close. 124 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:36.920 You know. 125 00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:40.519 In the innovation that we've brought there, you know, really 126 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:43.160 relies on the trust that we've built with our customer base. 127 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.439 So the big problem with what you've talked about is 128 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.639 if you want a good price on one hundred grounds, 129 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:50.120 you kind of. 130 00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:52.360 Have to buy it locally. You can't really buy one 131 00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:54.680 hundred rounds online. Have it shipped to you. Doesn't make 132 00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:57.439 any sense, no, because of the shipping right and so. 133 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.439 What we're building here and the game, and there'll be 134 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:02.600 more information in a couple of weeks. Right now, we're 135 00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:04.720 in an invite only preview as we kind of work 136 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.680 out the bugs, but you'll be able to buy a 137 00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:08.160 little bit. 138 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:11.000 Like you said, over time, we're going to hold it 139 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:15.199 for you. Oh so it's. 140 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:17.480 You've insured yeah, you're but your client to control of 141 00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:19.000 the shipping costs that. 142 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:20.199 Way, Yep. 143 00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:23.160 It sits with us until you're ready for it. 144 00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:25.399 You ask us the ship and then depending on how 145 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:26.839 much ask us the ship and where you want it 146 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.120 to ship it there maybe shipping in taxes it needs 147 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.040 to be paid at that time, but you won't have 148 00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:33.920 to participate in whatever the market price is for the 149 00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:35.879 AMMO at that time. So we'll have a lot more 150 00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.759 information about this coming soon, including the name. But I'm 151 00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:40.759 kind of on embargo. I probably said more than my 152 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:42.240 team wants me to say already. 153 00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:44.759 All right, so what's hot right now? What are people 154 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:47.800 buying in bulk and trying to really stock up on? 155 00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:51.319 Yeah, I mean to be honest, the bulk items that 156 00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:54.240 people stock up on rarely change. And so it is 157 00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.680 right now nine millimeter FMJ and two two three five 158 00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.639 five six fifty five grain and it kind of all is. 159 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.160 We used to see a lot of people kind of 160 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:09.240 stocking up on twenty two, but that market really isn't 161 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:10.959 as hot as it used to be, and part of 162 00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:11.680 it is priced. 163 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:13.600 Twenty two has come up quite a bit on price. 164 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:14.920 I think it's close to nine cents. 165 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:15.399 Wow. 166 00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:19.120 Right now, And I mean I remember it at three percent. 167 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:22.439 I remember when five cents was a lot, let's put 168 00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:24.920 it that way. And maybe dating myself a little bit here, 169 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:27.480 but I think that that's probably part of it, but 170 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.720 also that I think people are more focused on stocking 171 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:33.279 up for self defense training, and you know, twenty two 172 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:35.279 is kind of a different beast, right so it's really 173 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:37.319 not considered a self defense round. 174 00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:39.480 I think that is probably why. 175 00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.040 But I would also say there's a very weird thing 176 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:45.040 happening in the market right now, which your listeners may 177 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:46.600 not have heard of or. 178 00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:48.120 Heard about at this point. 179 00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:50.160 It's very odd because I've never quite seen the market 180 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:50.879 like this before. 181 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:53.079 There's not a lot of supply in the market. 182 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:55.079 So even on like nine and two two three, which 183 00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:57.439 are the most common they probably make up depending on 184 00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.680 the business, between fifty and eighty percent of the revenue 185 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:02.519 of a business selling M is going to be in 186 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:05.079 nine and two two three. It's not a lot of 187 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:08.120 that coming from the major manufacturers in the marketplace. 188 00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:12.240 Yet. Prices haven't really moved, which is good for the consumer, 189 00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:14.560 but it's not normal Normally when there's not. 190 00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:16.800 A lot of supply coming, prices go up so I 191 00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:20.920 will openly admit I have no idea what is going on, Tom, 192 00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:21.319 but it. 193 00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:22.240 Is kind of a weird thing. 194 00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:23.879 And if we're going to talk about, you know, where 195 00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:25.720 the market is and what people are stocking up on 196 00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:30.279 or not, I would put that out there for your listeners. 197 00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:32.960 And I suppose the point of all that is we 198 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.279 are in a normal market price environment right now, but 199 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:37.559 we never know how long it's going to last. Yeah, 200 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:40.000 I don't like to participate in fear monitoring, and I'm 201 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:41.000 not doing that here. 202 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.799 I truly don't know. But the market is weird right now. 203 00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:45.960 Well to your point though, but if you have a 204 00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:50.159 shortage or at least the availability is not what it 205 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:53.519 has been on which you think it should be, logically 206 00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:55.799 one would say there is at least a decent chance 207 00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:58.600 at some point the prices are going to be adjusted 208 00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:03.200 to allow for that market consideration and going okay, now 209 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:05.320 there's prices could go up. It's what we're talking about. 210 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.360 So it's when prices are low and they are now. Look, 211 00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:11.799 if you've been buying animal for thirty years, prices are. 212 00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:14.240 Not lower, they don't seem well, But then again. 213 00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:15.559 You also can't buy a car for what you could 214 00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:17.759 buy it four for thirty years ago, so it's kind 215 00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:18.039 of the same. 216 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:20.480 Paid five and a half dollars for gallon milk today? 217 00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:25.080 Yes, exactly right, all right, So tell me this. What's 218 00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:29.320 the story with Dan Wolgen. Where did you come from? 219 00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:30.720 How did you get into this thing? 220 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.919 I've got to I guess a very weird story from 221 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:38.679 that perspective. I grew up in Pennsylvania, right outside of Philadelphia. 222 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:39.759 Uh, And I. 223 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:42.159 Grew up in a very suburban area, so not like 224 00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:44.879 we were going out back and hunting. But my family 225 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.559 was involved in the shooting sports. My father was a hunter, 226 00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:49.720 and I was exposed to it. 227 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:53.159 I actually, you're not gonna believe this. 228 00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:56.399 I've gone to Utah to hunt antelope. I've never gone 229 00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.960 white tail deer hunting. I have tried and tried and 230 00:09:59.000 --> 00:09:59.960 tried growing up. 231 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:02.360 It's crazy. It's really odd. 232 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:03.720 I know. 233 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:06.639 I would set it up every year, and whatever weekend 234 00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:08.720 had happened to fall on, the guys I was going 235 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:12.240 with were all snowplowd drivers, and it would snow and 236 00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:14.159 they would all have to go and work and the 237 00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:16.320 hunt will get canceled. This happened, I don't know, maybe 238 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:19.600 four or five times something or other thing that ultimately 239 00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:22.759 canceled the hunt. So I found that really very funny. 240 00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:26.600 I still remember practicing, you know, I'd never really been shooting. 241 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:29.879 I had a Mosburg smooth barrel that I was shooting 242 00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:31.200 slugs out of. This is what I was going to 243 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:33.960 take to go deer hunting. And I remember I found 244 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.559 an outdoor range. I went up by myself. I must 245 00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:40.639 have shot fifty sixty rounds of twelve gage. 246 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:43.600 Man. I couldn't move the next day. It was almost 247 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.080 a good thing that I got canceled. My whole right 248 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:47.799 shoulder and chest were all bruised. 249 00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:50.399 You know, I didn't have anybody there at that point, unfortunately, 250 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:53.240 to teach me. So anyway, fast forward, many many years, 251 00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:56.799 through many different avenues. I was actually educated as an engineer, 252 00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:59.679 and then I worked in finance for some time, and 253 00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:02.279 then I was able, lucky enough to join the founders 254 00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:05.679 of this company, Ammunition Depot, who were growing like crazy 255 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:10.320 and needed some more bodies there to help. And over 256 00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:14.279 the years have become the CEO and also the owner 257 00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:17.759 of Ammunition Depot. So I've been firmly entrenched in this 258 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.080 industry and this culture for over fifteen years. Now, but 259 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:25.039 I'd say it all started. I'm actually, while we're talking 260 00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:25.879 about this, from any things. 261 00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:28.799 When I was a kid, I built a flip lock 262 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:31.440 pistol from a kid with my dad. I remember that. 263 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:31.679 Now. 264 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:36.200 That's probably the first exposure that I had to this 265 00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:40.279 world was that, and then here we are. 266 00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:41.519 Who would have thunk it? 267 00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:42.120 Well, Ded? 268 00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:45.240 I like the approach you say, Look, we may not 269 00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:47.200 be the cheapest, we're going to be real close to 270 00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:48.879 the cheapest, but we are going to be the best. 271 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:50.840 We're going to take care of you, and you're going 272 00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:54.519 to enjoy your relationship with us, and if there's a problem, 273 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:56.240 we'll own up to it and we'll take care of you. 274 00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:58.960 That's a I think that's a very enlightened approach. 275 00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:02.440 I appreciate that, and I'll just say because my team 276 00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:04.200 will get mad at me if I don't. We may 277 00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:08.240 be the cheapest, sure, thank yet a lot of times 278 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:11.120 we will be the cheapest, but not always. 279 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:12.320 It's not our primary goal. 280 00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:14.399 Our primary goal is to ensure that we're running a 281 00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:17.320 healthy business, taking care of our customers, and that we're 282 00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:20.000 going to be here next year and in five years, 283 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:22.919 and in ten years and fifty years, God willing. 284 00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:25.600 Yeah, And honestly, at least from my perspective, I've got 285 00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:28.600 to the point where the two cents around or whatever 286 00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:31.039 it is, is not worth worrying. If I'm going to 287 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.159 get the ship better, what's going to happen? What condition 288 00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:34.840 it's going to be in when it gets here? Is 289 00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:36.679 the box going to be broken open as your handle's 290 00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:38.720 spilling out all over the place. I want to deal 291 00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:43.360 with a reputable company that cares. We are that for sure, man, Thank. 292 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:43.759 You so much. 293 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.720 I appreciate it's called ammunition depot. Good luck with the 294 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:47.320 whole thing. 295 00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:49.039 Man, Thanks, Tom, appreciate it all. 296 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:50.919 Right, don't go far.

See 338 00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:46.360 the story by AWR. Hawkins. This is so A month 339 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:51.519 or two ago, Chicago White Sox support gun control lobbies 340 00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:55.279 every Town for Gun Safety. So the Chicago White Sox 341 00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:58.759 used an X post to proclaim their support from Mike 342 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:03.440 Bloomberg affiliated every Town for Gun Safety. This is support 343 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:08.639 for the Gun Violence Awareness Day. So the White Sox 344 00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:12.360 put out a post on X to support that. The 345 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:15.600 Philadelphia Egos did the same thing. They marked gun Violence 346 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:18.480 Awareness Day with an ex post they changed their team 347 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:21.720 logo colors from green and white to orange and white. 348 00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:26.320 Orange is the official color of the Gun Violence Awareness Day. 349 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:32.879 My thought on that is this, I guarantee you that 350 00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:35.519 the gun band lobby, the every Town for Gun Safety 351 00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:39.360 people went to these sports teams and encouraged their social 352 00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:44.519 media people to do something just to support this gun 353 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:50.840 safety measure, and the people involved the sake, well, at 354 00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:53.879 the teams, it's a freeviewers throw it out there. Who 355 00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:59.200 could object to that, not understanding that this is the 356 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:01.840 gun band lobby. These are the people who want to 357 00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:05.960 take away all our guns without a doubt, not overstating it. 358 00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:09.759 They clearly say that everyone smile. They'll actually say the 359 00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:14.039 quiet part out loud, and you know we can shrug 360 00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:16.680 and go, yeah, okay, that's just stupid, or I'm just 361 00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:19.720 not going to watch their shows or their games. Okay, 362 00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:23.160 But that really doesn't do anything because they don't know 363 00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:25.759 why if they feel the impact at all, they don't 364 00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:29.680 know what happened. The only way that it has an 365 00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:34.319 impact is if we respond directly to them, and every 366 00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:38.079 time you see it you respawn with no, you guys 367 00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:41.640 are wrong. You have been conned by the gun band lobby. 368 00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.119 It's why twenty five years ago I created the gun 369 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:52.160 Talk Truth Squad. Our motto is a lie left unchallenged, 370 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:59.039 becomes the truth. Therefore, we will challenge every lie every 371 00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:01.200 time we see it, every time we hear it, we 372 00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:04.640 will push back. We were not just shrugging, go oh yeah, 373 00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:07.279 it's this way it is. It's just the media, it's 374 00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.759 just the sports teams. They're just all woke. Now, the 375 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:14.799 way you get them to stop doing that is to 376 00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:16.559 push back and say, yeah, there's a cost here. 377 00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:19.839 You think that everybody agrees with you. We don't. 378 00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:23.519 And if they get a couple of comments, they ignore it. 379 00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:26.119 If they get one hundred comments, they start to pay attention. 380 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:30.920 If they get a thousand comments on their websites, on 381 00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:35.480 their ex posts and every other place, then somebody internally 382 00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:39.160 is going to go, what was that? Who did that? 383 00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:41.799 Who thought that was a good idea? Why don't we 384 00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:44.279 get our outside of our lane. We're a sports team. 385 00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:49.759 Why are we getting involved in these social causes that 386 00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:51.960 actually cause us pushback when we can just stay away 387 00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:57.079 from it and not suffer any ill effects. I'm not 388 00:18:57.119 --> 00:18:58.799 saying they're going to become pro gun. 389 00:18:59.319 --> 00:18:59.920 We just want to. 390 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:02.960 I don't want them to be anti gun. And the 391 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:06.160 only way the only way you do that is with leverage, 392 00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:09.440 with force force being in this case social media pressure. 393 00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:12.039 And I'm talking about not talking about physical force, okay. 394 00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:17.680 And when I created the Gun Talk Truth Squad way 395 00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:22.000 back like almost before there was an internet. This is 396 00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:26.319 the old school fun stuff stories to tell. The idea 397 00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:31.480 was we could we couldn't get into the media. We 398 00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:35.440 really didn't have a way when articles were published and such, 399 00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:39.079 but newspapers would publish our letters to the editor. So 400 00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:41.960 I asked for volunteers. I wanted to get two people 401 00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:44.279
