#310- Digital Terrorism: The War on Gun Content

The GUNS Magazine Podcast

In this urgent episode of the Guns Podcast, host Brent Wheat addresses the ongoing and undeclared war against firearms content creators on a well-known major video platform. Brent details the recent community guideline strikes leveled against the podcast for older, previously compliant videos—a tactic he describes as "digital terrorism." He breaks down the timeline of events, including a strike for a historical review of a Single Action Army revolver, and explains how retroactive enforcement creates an impossible environment for creators to navigate. Beyond the immediate channel strikes, Brent analyzes the broader strategy at play: removing financial incentives to dry up content, which ultimately aims to starve the gun culture itself. He highlights the glaring double standards where mainstream media outlets can skirt rules that crush independent gun channels. Finally, Brent discusses the future of the show, the potential move to alternative platforms like Rumble and issues a call to action for listeners and politicians to protect free speech regarding the Second Amendment.

Key Takeaway

  • Brent's definition of "digital terrorism" and how retroactive enforcement of new rules on old videos traps content creators.
  • The specific timeline of strikes received by the Guns Podcast US in 2025.
  • The ultimate strategy of anti-gun groups: de-monetize content to kill the culture and weaken the Second Amendment.
  • Examples of double standards where mainstream media outlets (like Wired) are allowed to show 3D printed guns while gun channels are penalized for historical reviews.
  • The "death penalty" policy for channels receiving three strikes in 90 days.
  • The necessity of political pressure from the administration and Congress to ensure fair treatment on the major platforms
  • How to find the Guns Podcast if it is removed from the current video platform.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,880
The strategy,

2
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:04,320
of what they're trying to accomplish
is very simple.

3
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,680
Remove the financial incentive
for making gun videos.

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,760
If creators like us
can't make any money off the content,

5
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:13,680
then the content dries up.

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,880
And if the content dries up,
then the culture dies off.

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,880
That's the play,
and it's their way of doing whatever

8
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,000
they can to essentially destroy
the Second Amendment in our country.

9
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,320
I call it digital terrorism.

10
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,360
Hi there and welcome to the Guns
Podcast, U.S

11
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,480
presented by Guns magazine and sponsored
by our good friends at Ruger.

12
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,680
Thanks for joining us here on one of
the world's biggest gun talk programs.

13
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,920
As we chat with the interesting folks
who make up the world of shooting.

14
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,280
Well, today is a rare appearance.

15
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,280
The interesting person
we're going to have on the show is me.

16
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,600
Roy's taking a little time off this week,
and that's fine,

17
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,280
because there's something
I need to talk to you about anyway.

18
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,640
But before we do that,
while we still can hint, hint,

19
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,040
here's
a quick message from our sponsor, Ruger.

27
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:38,520
Visit Ruger JD.com today.

28
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,280
Well, today's short episode

29
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,960
is about this platform's
ongoing war against gun.

30
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,080
Video. And yes, we've been snagged again.

31
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,280
Now, I'm not going to name
the company that we're talking about

32
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,320
because I don't want to feed
the algorithm anymore.

33
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,480
But if you're watching this,
you already know what we're talking about.

34
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,360
In other words,
if you're here, you're here.

35
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,520
And if you're listening on Apple Podcasts
or Spotify

36
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,360
or one of those other audio
only channels, I'd say stick with us.

37
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,360
You need to hear this out,
because this really affects everybody

38
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,480
in the two way community,
not just the folks who watch us on.

39
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,640
You know, where between the cat videos

40
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:24,640
and those unskippable constipation
advertisements.

41
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,520
So let's talk about
the timeline of what happened

42
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:33,960
and how we got where we are
on August 16th, of this year, 2025,

43
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,280
we got a community guidelines
strike on an older video.

44
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,200
And if you're not familiar with tube,
what that means is you're in trouble.

45
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,160
Now, one strike
means that you have to go dark for a week.

46
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,800
In other words, your channel
is still there, but you can't touch it.

47
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,280
You can't edit anything.

48
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,160
You can't do anything to promote it.

49
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:57,240
It's just sitting there and your audience
is slowly withering away.

50
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,040
If you get two strikes in 90 days,
that's two weeks dark and then if you get

51
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,240
that third, community guideline strike in

52
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,240
three or in 90 days, your channel's gone.

53
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:10,120
No ifs, ands or buts.

54
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,720
No questions, no appeals.

55
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:13,880
You're just gone.

56
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,720
Obviously, we call that the death penalty.

57
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,600
So we had just gotten off probation.

58
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,680
And then on November 13th
we got another strike.

59
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,480
This one was for our video, Roy
Huntington Short about the Taylor

60
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,960
and Company engraved cattleman
single action Army.

61
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:35,200
For those of you that are familiar
with guns, you know that the 1873 design,

62
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,600
Single Action
Army is certainly a well known gun

63
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,760
that's used in many,
many mass shootings and things like that.

64
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,480
So apparently that's what ran afoul of,

65
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,560
this platform and its, algorithms
that search for that kind of thing.

66
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,160
So just like that,
we went dark again until yesterday.

67
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,040
Thursday, November 20th, 2025.

68
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,400
The day before I recorded this.

69
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:05,240
So that's the reality of being a gun
related, video channel right now.

70
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,520
So I do find it curious that,

71
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,440
we were up for two whole days, and then
we got another community guideline strike.

72
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,520
I assume it's just random, right?

73
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,640
Well, let's talk about the bigger picture.

74
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,440
So there is a bunch of stuff to unpack
here, but here is the short version.

75
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,480
We are the latest casualty

76
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,800
in the this platform's ongoing quiet
and undeclared war on gun content.

77
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,440
The sudden paranoia.

78
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,800
And it's, certainly not new.

79
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,200
NBC news even did a piece on this in 2024.

80
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,520
Talk to some of, of the few gun channels
that are bigger than we are.

81
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,320
And, they had run afoul,
they'd run into the same thing. And,

82
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,400
NBC discussed it with them.

83
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:54,160
So basically, the mainstream media
has even acknowledged what's happening.

84
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,120
So this isn't a new problem.

85
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:01,200
And I know if you're an avid gun video
watcher on this platform, several other,

86
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,000
channels have either gone away or suffered

87
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,800
the wrath of the censors at this platform.

88
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,720
So the company that actually owns
the platform, and I'm not going to use

89
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,480
its name either, we'll just call it
the Super Mega search engine company

90
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,760
is, in my opinion, working hand-in-hand
with anti-gun groups like any town.

91
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,200
And the strategy,

92
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,760
of what they're trying to accomplish
is very simple

93
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,120
remove the financial incentive
for making gun videos.

94
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:36,080
If creators like us can't make any money
off the content, then the content dries up

95
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,280
and if the content dries up,
then the culture dies off.

96
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,280
That's the play,
and it's their way of doing whatever

97
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:47,400
they can to essentially destroy
the Second Amendment in our country.

98
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,520
Now, the lever that this platform is
pulling is a new, stricter

99
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,400
interpretation
of what it means to promote sales or link

100
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,320
to sites, the deal
with firearms or certain accessories.

101
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,400
Let me read the very first sentence
in their firearms community guidelines.

102
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:08,320
It says don't post content
if the purpose is to sell firearms

103
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,080
or certain accessories
through direct sales, or links to site

104
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,720
that sell these arms, and then they go on
to list the accessories.

105
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,440
And you know the drill.

106
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,000
There's there's some other stuff
to machine guns and how to build machine

107
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,240
guns and other things,
but basically number one's the biggie

108
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,840
and the catchall that
if you're promoting the sales of firearms,

109
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,400
you can't be on this platform.

110
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,600
So, you know,
the overarching problem here is

111
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,200
they're ignoring the fact
that firearms ownership is codified

112
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,440
and protected in the United States
Constitution.

113
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,600
So let's go back now and,

114
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,360
talk about this retroactive enforcement
that they are suddenly very fond of.

115
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,920
I call it digital terrorism.

116
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,400
It's the biggest problem is
not that there's rules themselves.

117
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,120
I get that, and it's a private platform,
and they're allowed to make whatever rules

118
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:57,880
they want.

119
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,560
But it's the fact that they're
using retroactive enforcement

120
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,040
to go after gun videos.

121
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,000
They keep going back
and flagging old videos.

122
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:11,320
In our case, we just got a warning for
episode number 127 of this very podcast.

123
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,680
That's, a couple of hundred videos ago,

124
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,000
and it was actually a audio only podcast.

125
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,840
And they apparently their new AI algorithm

126
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,400
can actually listen
and transcribe, the episodes.

127
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,400
And they decided that we violated
those community guidelines.

128
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:34,240
So the problem that the gun tube
community is facing is

129
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,920
how can we follow the rules
when the rules are being enforced

130
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,280
in a way
that we didn't know about way back when?

131
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,240
It's like they keep moving the goalposts,

132
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,960
not only between the one yard line
and the 50 yard line,

133
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,600
they're moving it clear out of the stadium

134
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,320
and then painting it
to look like a fire hydrant.

135
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,720
So that's kind of the problem
that we're facing.

136
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,880
And it's, basically the idea of
how can you comply

137
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,280
with guidelines when they're constantly
changing without warning.

138
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,760
So as I said,
I call this a form of digital terrorism.

139
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,120
You don't know when or where
they're going to strike next.

140
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,320
And here's something interesting
that we noticed.

141
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,120
Also, we only started getting this
really heavy scrutiny

142
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,720
after we crossed
the 100,000 subscriber threshold.

143
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,320
Apparently they don't care
about the smaller channels,

144
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:27,520
but once you cross that, that's, kind of a
big tipping number for this platform.

145
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,680
So you hit 100 K and suddenly
you get a new set of eyes.

146
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,840
Even though they,
they treat everyone equally.

147
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:35,400
Right.

148
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,240
So, you know, here's what really twists

149
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,600
the knife is the fact
that they're also very arbitrary in this.

150
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,200
I personally went and found a wired
magazine video

151
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:51,120
that has 2.3 million views
where they literally build and fire

152
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:56,400
a 3D printed gun during a story
about a recent famous accused murderer.

153
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,520
Apparently. That's fine, I guarantee you.

154
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,400
If we had even talked about it,
we'd probably get flagged.

155
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,480
But they actually do it on camera,
demonstrated it, and it's okay.

156
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,480
But yet, of course, like I said, a video

157
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,200
discussing the historic Single action
Army revolver strike.

158
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,240
So, you know, it's it's pretty clear.

159
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,920
Some channels
get a pass, others get crushed.

160
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,280
And if you're a gun tuber,
that's what they're going to crush.

161
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,760
If you're, part of the mainstream media
and you hold

162
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,040
certain left leaning views,
apparently you can talk about anything,

163
00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:34,200
firearms
related in the guise of education.

164
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,840
It's just the people that actually know
what they're talking about

165
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,400
aren't allowed to.

166
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,000
So is there a solution?

167
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,320
Well, here's the hard truth.

168
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,560
There is no solution. Really.

169
00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:47,880
This platform that we're on
is the Brazilian pound gorilla.

170
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,520
Everything else, Rumble, Odyssey, Vimeo,
you name it,

171
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,560
they're good platforms,
but they're tiny in comparison to the one

172
00:09:56,560 --> 00:10:00,880
that we're currently on, at least
as of the moment that I upload this,

173
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,640
viewership everywhere else doesn't

174
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,280
even add up together to part of a fraction
that's on this platform.

175
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,920
So I will say that we do
maintain a presence on Rumble,

176
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,480
and you can absolutely find us there.

177
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,800
But being honest,
the numbers are absolutely nowhere near

178
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,120
they are on this particular channel
or platform.

179
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,840
So by the way, here's a little pro tip.

180
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,360
If you don't happen to see us
and you wonder why suddenly there's

181
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,760
no new videos, just go and do a search
for guns podcast us.

182
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:38,040
Sometimes the newest episode is hiding out
there because, you know, when we're,

183
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:43,000
dark, we can't announce anything,
so we have some other ways.

184
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,040
And interestingly, as I said before

185
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,040
that the small channels
on some of our little,

186
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,680
hideouts, I guess you would say
we never get bothered.

187
00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:57,120
So go searching for guns, podcast us,
and I'll talk about another way

188
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,160
you can find us. In just a moment.

189
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,920
So in the long run,

190
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,280
we're talking about whether we want
to move everything over to Rumble.

191
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,360
Like many gun channels have done.

192
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,400
Or do something else.

193
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,880
I would like to hear from you,
because, you know, we need to know.

194
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,560
Would you follow us there?

195
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:15,960
Or would that be a deal breaker?

196
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,160
You know, let's just be honest.

197
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:22,000
It takes resources to produce a show
like this, and resources aren't free.

198
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,440
So we have to be able to monetize
these videos,

199
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,400
either by advertising or sponsors
or things like that.

200
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,400
And if we can't do that,
if we'll run afoul of this platform,

201
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:34,560
we're done.

202
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:36,880
So and, you know, that's

203
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,000
exactly what the platform is trying to do.

204
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:41,360
It's pretty simple.

205
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,400
I keep saying it, but cut the money,
kill the content, kill the culture.

206
00:11:45,560 --> 00:11:47,520
That's that's
what they're trying to do here.

207
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,520
So let's talk about where we go
going forward.

208
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,280
We are pushing forward.

209
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:57,120
Gun videos are absolutely becoming
an endangered species on this platform,

210
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,440
which is what the Silicon Valley
technocrats want.

211
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,600
But unfortunately,
we can't threaten them with a boycott.

212
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:04,160
Engage.

213
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:08,200
Gun owners are a tiny fraction
of the viewership on this platform,

214
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,840
so frankly, we don't matter.

215
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,840
Plus, as a group, they hate us anyway,
so they're not going to listen.

216
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:16,160
Frankly, they would be thrilled to death
if we all left.

217
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,520
So where does that leave us?

218
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:19,560
Well,

219
00:12:19,560 --> 00:12:23,720
if we move to another platform, we lose
a huge chunk of our audience instantly.

220
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,360
So what are gun tubers supposed to do?

221
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,200
I do think there's one possible remedy
that might possibly work,

222
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,960
and that is by calling
on the administration and Congress

223
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,560
to actually follow
through on all those campaign promises

224
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:40,920
they made,
and do more to protect the ability

225
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,920
to speak freely about firearms
on this platform and others.

226
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,480
The thing is, legislation
is not going to solve the problem.

227
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,520
As we've seen many times,
these giant companies

228
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,320
can always find a loophole,
or they simply just ignore the law until

229
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,600
finally the government takes them to court
and, slaps them around a little bit

230
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,040
and threaten and threatens them
with losing a bit of their revenue.

231
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:06,680
So suddenly they see the light
and they decide to, abide by the law.

232
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,640
But I think that's, pointless.

233
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,240
Basically, passing
a feel good law isn't the answer here.

234
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:14,000
What?

235
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,760
This is going to require is heavy pressure
from people with platforms

236
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,400
much bigger than mine and and yours
and the rest of the gun tubers

237
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,560
we need, as I said, the administration,
the our friends in the administration.

238
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:30,320
And we do have several very good friends
and, the United States,

239
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,760
Congress, Senate representatives,
we need conservative elected officials.

240
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,200
And I'm saying, where are you now?

241
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,080
I call on you to lean on this platform
and make them understand

242
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,080
that they're messing
with a constitutionally protected right,

243
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:50,040
and whether they find it distasteful
or not, it's the law of the land.

244
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,200
And they need to be more, fair
and evenhanded

245
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,960
about dealing with with gun to.

246
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,600
So my closing thoughts,

247
00:13:58,680 --> 00:13:59,440
well,

248
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,440
things are quiet for now,
but the lesson is simple.

249
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:07,360
The, the platform can silencers,
but they're not going to stop us.

250
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,800
We, as I said before,
we are looking into some alternatives,

251
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:16,400
such as moving to rumble and maybe just
putting promotional, videos on this site.

252
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,640
And that's what a lot of channels
have been forced to do.

253
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,720
As I said, I'm very interested to hear
what the audience thinks about that.

254
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:27,360
So please, please leave us a comment
if you're watching this on that platform.

255
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,600
And, if, if you want to reach out to me,

256
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,600
that's editor at guns podcast.us.

257
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,520
I don't really know
which way to go with this.

258
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,080
Again, it's the choice
between run afoul of the censors here

259
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,080
and get taken down
and maybe off the channel,

260
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,080
or we go to another channel where
there's nobody and and it's pretty hard

261
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,880
to justify doing what we do
because there's no money to be made.

262
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,960
And, it's
not just the advertising revenue,

263
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,080
but it's when we try to get sponsorships.

264
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,240
Do you have 100,000 viewers
or do you have a thousand?

265
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,320
If you were a business owner,
it's pretty simple math.

266
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,800
So that's our quandary we face.

267
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,800
And that's
why I'm, talking to you right now.

268
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,520
So as I said before, in case of emergency,

269
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,840
you can always find us, links
to wherever the podcast might be.

270
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:22,480
Living in hiding by going to guns
magazine.com under the podcast tab,

271
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,800
or of course, our website, Guns Podcast,

272
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,960
dot us and make sure you don't go.com.

273
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:30,920
We get some questions about that.

274
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,920
It's guns podcast dot U.S.

275
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,520
I actually liked that web address

276
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,120
better than the other,
so make sure you check that out.

277
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,400
And of course we've got merch and some
other fun stuff and blogs and all that.

278
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:46,280
So anyway, guns magazine, dot com,
the blog section or Guns podcast.us.

279
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,640
But bottom line is, as long as you want
to hear content about your,

280
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,080
constitutionally protected right,

281
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,000
we're going to find a way
to keep bringing it to you.

282
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,520
There may only be three of you out there
by the time we get done, but,

283
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,760
we're going to do all we can
until it's just impossible to do anymore.

284
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,760
So that's the situation.

285
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,320
It'll be interesting
to see how long this video stays up,

286
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,120
because I'm thumbing my nose
at this particular platform,

287
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,320
and, they probably won't like that,
as we've discovered.

288
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:17,560
It's, interesting.

289
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,560
If you appeal any of these rulings,

290
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,440
you will instantly, suffer the wrath.

291
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,560
So, I get it.

292
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,880
It's a privately owned platform.

293
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,360
They can do what they want,
but they're wrong.

294
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,840
And the people that are running
it are wrong.

295
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,520
And, we need to figure out a way to,

296
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:37,800
do something

297
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,600
so that we can continue
talking about, guns.

298
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,520
As I said, if they remove the videos,
they kill the culture,

299
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,040
and the Second amendment dies
from lack of support.

300
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,120
So I appreciate you listening to this.

301
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:52,720
Short rant that I have.

302
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,840
I, hope Roy is going to be back next week.

303
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,680
I hope I'm going to be back next week.

304
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:01,080
But as I said, if you can't find us,
make sure you go to guns magazine,

305
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,840
dot com,
the podcast tab or Guns Podcast U.S.

306
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,240
So on behalf of everybody
who worked so hard,

307
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,840
here at the Guns Podcast U.S and yet we

308
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,440
sometimes don't get to publish it, but
they're still working behind the scenes.

309
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:16,200
But anyway,

310
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,480
as I said, I'm your host, Brent Wheat,
and I'm reminding you once again,

311
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,960
even if they won't let you talk about it
now get out there and get shooting.

312
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:30,240
And start.
