Anthony introduced me, and I got to have a conversation with him, and I'm going to be me no matter what.
And I was like, listen, the NRA, I bring people in.
I gave my elevator speech about 2A, 4E, and diversity shoots, and how we introduce people from every background to firearms and Second Amendment advocacy.
And I said, I tell them they need to join Second Amendment organizations.
But if they don't want to join the NRA because of the bad press, I was like, look, the NRA has to earn your trust back.
But join your local Second Amendment organization.
And he was like, no, no, tell them to join the NRA.
And I'm looking at him like, no.
I'm not pushing this.
I was like, the NRA is changing.
I was like, the NRA is doing a great job because, and it's because of members, by the way.
It's not because the NRA is awesome.
The members are truly making a difference.
The members are voting in what they call the Reform Party.
And since they have yearly elections and the people you elect stay for three years, they pretty much replaced over half the freaking old board that was
Going through our money like a sieve.
And so one of my friends, Teresa Einacker, is a new board member.
And Amanda Suffolk is a friend of mine.
She's a board member.
She was the one that got the NRA to actually allow them to do podcasts at NRA.
