I'm sure there will be a lot of people watching this video who do not know me who are new to this Channel and are just checking in based on recent occurrences so for those who are new for those who do not know me my name is Matt carer I am a texas-based YouTuber and this is my YouTube channel um Demolition Ranch is a firearm centered Channel I also have um off the ranch Matt carer Channel which is a a blog type Channel and then and I also a veterinarian and so I have vet Ranch which is a Veterinary centered Channel and across the board across all my videos we really don't talk about politics at all we keep politics out of it for one it's not my bread and butter but also I don't feel the need to impose my political views and beliefs on other people and so we generally just stay away from the topic of politics however we were obviously kind of thrust into the conversation after last weekend so before I go any further to the family of the victim who died during the Trump shooting uh man I'm so sorry for your loss it's terrible and I I hate that that happened to him and to you guys and wishing wishing you guys the best from here it's that's the worst for those those who were injured in the shooting as well wishing you guys um a speedy recovery praying for pain-free recovery for you as well both physically and mentally I can't imagine so as a lot of you guys know um and we were shocked and Confused to to find this out the shooter who tried to assassinate Trump was wearing merch from my channel wearing a a Demolition Ranch t-shirt and that sucked to see that yeah that was that was rough so this this t-shirt we also own a t-shirt company um and it's based out of this my hometown right here and my friends work there and we we make these shirts we print them here in Texas and ship them all over the world uh I've seen my shirts in every continent I got a picture like two weeks ago of a guy wearing my shirt in Antarctica and so we don't vet the people who buy our shirts obviously it'd be impossible to just like Nike doesn't vet who buys their shoes I wish I could I would love to keep people like that from buying wearing being associated with that article of clothing like I wish I wish he couldn't get a shirt but it happened and I I think the difference in you know a gunman wearing a pair of Nike shoes and a gunman wearing my t-shirt is this brand is much more personal to me than Nike is to its Executives and so to see my name next to the shooter's name oh it sucks and I wish I wish we could keep that from happening so no matter what side you're on politically none of us want violence this channel was never meant to incite violence or hate it never has it isn't and it never will be a channel that does that I don't want any violence or hate anywhere around me I have a wife and little kids I want them to be safe and secure forever and the videos I put out I want to make sure that is the same for everyone who watches my videos that they aren't in any more danger because of my videos of course and I know you guys know that I have 11 million subscribers who have been watching me for over 10 years and know that I am uh not that kind of person this is mostly for the people who are just tuning in to see if I am a guy that is trying to make people do stuff like that so I am not uh obviously I don't have to explain that to you guys who know me but I I feel like I might need to say that for those who don't this channel is not about violence this channel will never be and uh we never would condone that at all I hate that it's a weird a weird deal and yeah I have I have news articles calling me asking for interviews asking what I know about the shooter asking if I've ever had any communication with the shooter if I've ever met him no he bought a shirt online and unfortunately wore it that day anyway wishing the best for everyone affected by this um obviously the way I'm affected is nothing compared to the way some people are affected by this so um not trying to take anything away from them but yeah just kind of letting you guys know I wanted to tell you guys who know me that we're here we still still going and uh yeah it's unfortunate but it's not what we stand for and it will never be what we stand for and uh we're going to keep keep trucking when you're watching a a CNN article and it it says three names the shooters trumps and mine that was not on my 2024 Bing go card so uh yeah I'm G to end this video let's move forward and um thank you guys for listening thanks for watching and most of all thanks for the support I love you and I'll see you next time
