I'm your host, Phil Rabelais, and my co-host Andrew Bobo is on the other side of the mic, and here's your show. Welcome back to the Matter Facts Podcast. Andrew and I are both a little bit bleary-eyed. We're both sucking down coffee, praying for the gods of caffeine to start doing their jobs. I'm drinking disaster coffee and I hope he is too,

and we're going to talk to y'all on this beautiful, what the hell is it, Thursday morning, I think at 10 o'clock in my time zone. Yeah, Thursday. Yeah, so if I seem a little bit off kilter, it's because I literally got home yesterday on the back of a four day work trip and then a four day, four day vacation. We left Jesus. Five day vacation. So I barely know what time zone I'm in much less what day it is but it was a great trip it was just you know it was like it was a whirlwind coming straight off of a work trip and then having to turn around and do that again but five days at the beach drank too much smoked too many cigars it's good times yeah i mean my end nothing really just working and uh can't really talk about it right now uh but phil and i got some cool stuff happening uh in the

background and yeah just kind of working on uh a new website yeah uh for that so let's uh we'll just keep it right there, but, uh, hopefully we can talk about it soon. Well, I mean, we,

you and I have a couple of irons in the fire with things that are happening that are kind of related to the podcast, but kind of not. So yeah, no, it's, uh, it's interesting.

But the couple of things I do need to mention are, you know, because I'm trying to be better about thanking the patrons for supporting the show. I'm going to try. I don't know if it's going to be in every show kind of thing because it gets a little old, but I'm going to try to be better about thanking you all for that. And for the recent the people that have recently joined us as patrons. Welcome to the Nuthouse. I hope you enjoy your padded cell as much as we do.

Insofar. Sorry, really quick. I just added a new Patreon to the group chat. So, Leonard, if you hear this, pick up your phone. Join the group. On the other hand, our merch line, of which this is a shirt that should be somewhat familiar to a few people we were running this back when we were using a teespring or something very similar to this so the southern gals is responsible for making distributing our merch i have to admit i'm kind

of taken with the quality of the merch i mean the screen printing is awesome they use a very nice t-shirt, which was something I was kind of pushy about when we first got into bed together was under no circumstances do I want like cheap paper thin scratchy Chinese shirts. Just pick something that feels nice to wear because if I don't want to wear it, I don't want to sell it either. And they've been very good about knocking that out of the park. In the very near future, we're going to be adding some new designs for the Matter of Facts podcast to that merch catalog. Gillian actually sent a whole bunch of designs to them for Raising Values podcast recently that I personally think are going to be really fun.

It's inventive, and it's cute, and it's fun, and it's cheeky, and it shows kind of her humor, which I think that's what the merch should do. Yeah, and I was looking at some of the designs, and I really like her designs are really cool. I really like what she came up with. So yeah, I bit the bullet, and i bought a subscription to the adobe suite uh so it's got photoshop and all that stuff so uh so i can get back into i need to start sitting down

and getting back to uh doing some drawing and uh designing and stuff like that for us so yeah but uh yeah well let let what get let what you saw Gillian put together be inspiration, because like I need to we need to do some brainstorming on like what exactly like communicates what the podcast is about other than drunken hooliganism and irreverence for authority. I mean, it might be a good place to start, but, you know, I just want to bring our sense of humor and our thing into the merch line. So that it's more than just a logo and, you know, a quick catchy little phrase. Maybe Tactical Clam will have to come to life. Tactical Clam? Yeah. Oh, I was thinking Tactical Possum, but you and I will discuss.

Also, Operation Skywalker is still running, so for those who would like to give oh, Jesus Christ. Kirk. So, yeah, so basically... I'm drawing a blank on his last name that I've already butchered once. Cullick?

Let's just stick with Kirk. Let's stick with Kirk. Okay. So's uh so yeah no give send go uh so it trek and the the crew over mbfi and everything they got a give send go for uh kirk and jill and uh basically if you guys do not know the uh the story I mean, he was a coach for hockey and high school boxing. He's survived cancer multiple times. I mean, he's a respected member of the community. But after grocery shopping one day,

him and his wife were getting groceries out of the truck into the house, and he was confronted by three individuals, ended up having to pull his gun after being hit on the back of the head with basically like a wine bottle in a bag or something, pretty something heavy. I believe it was a wine bottle in a bag, but basically hit over the head. And as he was being kicked on the ground, he pulled his pistol, fired, shot, and killed one of the individuals. He was jailed for, I think it was 106 days. It was a lot. I want to say.

But it was just crazy. Basically, long story short, go back to the episode. If Phil can remember to link the episode in the comments. But go back. It was only a handful ago. And, I mean, basically he was tortured in jail by the staff. It was crazy, the crap that he endured. And the prosecution, I mean, it was, it's basically, it's from the bottom up,

from the deputy that was on scene that was trying to take over to the prosecutor, the judge, everything. It was, it was all, I mean, it's corruption at the highest level. And honestly, it's people that say that they are, it's people that say that they want to fight for the Constitution, but obviously they did not care about the Constitution at all with Kirk. So head over. It's called Operation Skywalker, so we'll have a link in the description. But it's givesendgo.com slash Operation Skywalker. But it's givesendgo.com slash Operation Skywalker.

So if you can give $1, $5, $10, $100, I don't care what you give. Just try to give something back because this guy's life was torn apart. And this money is going to him and his wife to try to get them under their feet. Like get them back on their feet rather. To kind of get them moving in the right direction again. Because they had to sell a lot of stuff to, in order to make, to make basically the payments for the, for his lawyers and all that stuff and,

you know, and everything. So, so please go over there and give, we'll have the, the link in the description. Yeah. I mean, that is really one of those situations where any reasonable person who believes in the values that we preach on this show, any reasonable person that believes that

you have a right to protect your family, you have a right to protect your life, you have a right to use deadly force if someone's trying to end you, would look at the situation that Kirk described and say, good shoot, why did this have to go to trial? Why did this have to, why did this take lawyers to figure out? When it's three on one, he's on his back getting his head caved in. But that's, I hate to say, that's the world we live in, where prosecutors are more worried about numbers and about convictions than they are about justice. Police are not across the board, but in this case, certainly incompetent and malicious. And the goal was never justice. The goal was always to make Kirk submit, to make him give up. And he didn't,

and God bless him for that. But you're right, like him and his entire family have paid a hell of a price monetarily, and I'm sure there's sanity, to see him not be in jail for the rest of his life. And it's just, it's sad. It should never come to this. And I just personally wish, like, gone real on everybody involved in the situation. As malicious as that sounds. I don't feel bad about that. Talked about the man pack, the GMRS man pack that I was building in a YouTube video that I released not too long ago. I owe a much lengthier, more in-depth, you know, like look at how that thing is assembled, why it was assembled the way it was, decisions that were made and so on and so forth. But I've been kind of holding my peace on it because I was waiting for a part to come in. And that part finally arrived and it is kind of like the last ingredient in the secret soup that is this man pack build. And it is a Argent Data Systems SR1 Simplex Repeater Controller. So when I set out to build

this man pack, I always had a couple of ideas in mind of like, you know, the target I was aiming for, what I was trying to get this thing to do. And one of those things was this was not meant to be a man pack in the more traditional terms, you know, terms like a radio you put in your pack and you march five miles out into the woods. It wasn't meant for that. It's far heavier and far larger than that is, than would be my target for that use case. It was really meant to be more of a field deployable base station. So I knew I wanted things like lots and lots of power, at least up to what GMRS will allow, which is 50 watts. I knew I wanted a fairly healthy sized battery, so 20 amp hours. Could have gone a little bigger, but you start running into what you could actually fit into a pack if you go any bigger than that. I knew I wanted... I knew that with all the requirements I was laying

down, I was really looking at a single GMRS radio, and that wound up being the Wuxin KG1000G+, because on top of everything else that I was really looking for, it's a super heterodyne radio, which means it's two radios in one chassis. It's two separate volume knobs. It is two complete radios in a box. And on top of that, on the backside of it, it even has two two and a half millimeter audio outs one for each radio so if you wanted to be creative you could get a pair of like single cord earbuds plug into this thing on the back side put one in each ear and you get one channel from each side of the radio into each ear completely separated it just it it opened up a lot of possibilities

to give me the control to be able to implement something I was curious if I could do, which was to take this ManPak, repeat this ManPak radio build with the Spider Beam 17-foot fiberglass mask that I recently got using an N9TACS roll-up J-Pole, and be able to turn all this mess, all this radio nerd nonsense, into a field-deployable short-range repeater. And that's what the SR-1 allows me to do. I worked with one of our patrons, Stuart, who helped me build a patch cable between the SR-1 and the radio, going into the mic port.

patch cable between the SR1 and the radio going into the mic port. Got home yesterday, tested it all out, had the thing singing within a couple of minutes. So I just played around with it here in my office, like literally put the radio on one side of the office and me on the other side. I'm getting tons of interference because I got a Wi-Fi router right here that's not happy with the fact that I'm shooting RF frequency all over the place. So that's going to bear more of a test outside where there's less EMF running around or EMI. But so far I was able to get that Simplex repeater

to work as it's originally intended, which is on one Simplex channel. But here's where I've been wondering if I could get it to work right, and I managed to. I've been thinking that because I'm messing with a super heterodyne radio and one that has the amount of customization it has, if I could make this thing behave like a full duplex repeater. Because again, it's two radios in one chassis. So what I managed to do was put half the radio into frequency mode, put it on 467.550, which is the repeater input channel in GMRS. And then I flipped the other side of the radio to GMRS 15, which is 462.550. So the radio is now listening to both sides of repeater 15. And then by manipulating the volume knobs, I was able to

make it to where the volume was all the way down on GMRS 15 on the transmitting channel, so it doesn't listen to that channel anymore. Turn the volume up on 467.550, so it only listens to that. And now what I've got is I've got that simplex repeater only listening to the repeater input frequency and only transmitting on the repeater output frequency. So to the user, it just behaves just like a duplex repeater. The only difference is that the person who transmitted the message originally is going to hear it repeated back to them, but everybody else will only hear it one time. And we're going to have that set up, stood up a prepper camp. So if

there's anybody, I don't know frequency yet. I got to do some looking into on what frequencies are not going to piss off the locals and try to be a good neighbor. But for anybody who's going to be a prepper camp and has GMRS radio, I will, I should have this thing stood up and it'll be available if anybody wants to play around with it, see how it works, stop by the booth and I'll show you how it's built. I mean, it'd be a cool little piece. And for the, for the person who says, I've got a mag, I've got a group, you know, we've got people that are, say, five miles from tip to tip, and we need more coverage, and everybody's got handhelds,

this might be something you can stand up in the center of your group and have that five miles of coverage. A 40-foot. Well, that's what I'm saying. It wasn't terribly expensive either. I mean, you don't have to do it right now, but just try to get, like, if you had the build list and then the prices and stuff,

that would, for the listeners and then even at the show... I can tell you comfortably off the top of my head, this was well under $1,000 to put all this together. Well under. Off the top of my head, probably the most expensive part of this whole thing, honestly, was the radio. And that was $400 shipped. Yeah. And, again, like when I built this thing, I built it.

I wouldn't say I used like top shelf components, but nothing I purchased for this build was like cost-cutting measures. You know what I'm saying? It was, this is the best tool for the job. This is what I'm going to use. But if you wanted to build something similar, but you were willing to sacrifice some capabilities, you could do this for half the price. happily say is that with that 40 foot mast line of sight math says that if we're on a perfectly flat area then you should have about a 16 mile diameter coverage area from the center point of the mast so about eight miles in any direction which is a phenomenal increase over what you can get if you're just handheld to handheld which that is going to be about three or four miles.

Yeah. No, it's interesting to see. It'll be interesting to see how it works at Prepper Camp, especially if we can have a radio at our camp, a base radio there, and then that way we can talk back and forth. Because I don't know how many times in the last few years, basically you try to get a hold of somebody and you can't get a hold of them because the network is so busy, lack of signal or something. There was always something and maybe a text would go through, but it wasn't always the best.

So I'll be curious to see and play with it. It's really just going to come down to like, is anyone, is anyone that's going to prep a game going to heed my, my, my, my request and like go get a GMRS license and get a GMRS radio? I mean, they're personally, I, and I know that there's like diehard ham guys out there, guys with technician class licenses that are going to turn their nose up at GMRS. But, you know, it's like I keep telling keep telling everybody, my reason for getting into GMRS was very simply because there are people that are in my group by default, like my wife and daughter. If I have a plan that doesn't account for those two, it's not a plan.

And they are not going to get a ham license. It's not going to happen. But I can get a GMRS license and it covers my wife, my daughter, my in-laws, my brothers and sisters, my parents, my cousins, my dog, my cat. It probably covers the weird neighbor who lives three houses down if you look at the list. I mean, it's basically a family license at that point. And that low barrier to entry makes it really, really useful in my opinion. You know, you're going to give up some capabilities you have with ham, but what you give up in capabilities, you get tremendous ease of use for the layperson. So while I am very happy to be a radio nerd,

I have to communicate with people who are not radio nerds, and being able to throw them a radio and say, go to channel three just makes the process work. Yeah, no, I agree. And if you are that ham person, there's almost nothing I've done here that you couldn't do with a comparable

like UHF or VHF ham radio. Just really, really all this applies. All you gotta do is swap the radio out and everything else pretty much bolts on and all the principles work exactly the same. So if what I'm building, if you're the ham person, then what I'm building also applies to you. You're just using different frequency bands. But we'll see if anybody else gets ham rate, gets a GMRS radios for prepper camp. I know that my

wife and daughter will have them on hand so and it'll be good to give it and give it a good stretch see what it does yeah yeah it would be so but yeah um some other news uh if anybody hasn't been following the news i guess i figure we're kind of obligated to touch on it. But the election. Before we do, can I just say that it was like, so like right before I go on my work trip, somebody takes a shot at Trump. get back from my work trip and right about the time you know uncle joe start there starts many rumors that uncle joe is about to drop out of the presidential race and then while i'm there you knuckleheads in the matter of fact's patron group were blowing my phone up while i was on the beach drinking you know bourbon and coke and smoking cigars, talking about what Andrew's about to bring up.

No, I mean, so yeah, so if you haven't, if you've had your head under a rock. So yeah, basically, Creepy Joe, he no longer will be sniffing children. Well, I mean, he still might. He will still be sniffing children. Yeah, so he dropped out of the race after the disastrous debate. I mean, what was funny is what cracks me up is the fact that leading up to the debate with Trump, I mean, he was cognitively, there was nothing wrong. He's the best candidate that the DNC could have.

He's going to stomp all over Trump. You're talking about the media narrative, right? Not reality? Okay. Oh, yeah. Because the JB that I saw in that debate stage was the same JB we've had in office for three and a half years. Oh, no, I know that, but I'm saying leading up. It was shocking to everybody except those of us that pay attention. No, leading up to to leading up to it so after the debate even the media and i mean they

the democrats the left i mean everybody they kind of started eating them alive uh basically and saying you know calling for him to step down calling like i mean they're a full panic mode so fast forward to what a week or so ago uh and he was like yeah stepping down and i mean it would and it will honestly like it's honestly interesting because i i have i have seen a couple political people uh some talking heads and stuff actually call this a low-key basically call it like a coup uh just because he without without really talking about it without really saying much he kind of is just like all right peace out i'm stepping down uh i am no longer in the race i'm not seeking re-election all this stuff and so now you have kamala out there uh who supposedly has gotten enough of the votes,

I think basically stolen enough of the votes, because that's the thing, though, is you never heard anything else about any other person. They just were like, all right, we're shifting from Biden to Kamala is how it worked. You never heard about any other candidates. They never gave anybody else a chance to even say, hey, I want to do this. It almost reminds me of another Bernie Sanders moment when they're like, hey, we got this guy who's actually doing really, really well, but we're going to shift everything over to Hillary and call it good.

There are many parallels there yeah and so what's interesting is yeah they basically were like hey you know hey this is what's going on now and so now what's funny is the same people who a month or so ago say they're the same the same people who are saying joe biden there's nothing wrong with him cognitively he's fine health-wise he's you know healthier than trump and all this other stuff no matter what we've seen they're the same people that are now saying hey he's in decline there's not you know it's not looking good uh and now kamala is the best thing since sliced bread like they're pushing that uh that narrative so uh so i don't know i got a couple theories uh on it um i'll get your thoughts on it but uh yeah it's it's just interesting it's crazy the political landscape that we've been in i mean the it's basically

the political landscape that we've been in for the last uh i mean i I don't even know, like two or three election cycles, it's been just insane. And so now seeing this, I mean, what's crazy is we see this, like we'll see this in a different country. And we're like, oh, crap, it's not going to turn out good. And now you see this in our country and you're like, it's not going to turn out good. And everybody's like, oh, no, it's fine. You know, it's like basically it's it's almost like a boat with a massive hole in the side of it and they're like they're they're the buckets and the mainstream media are taking buckets and they're trying to like shovel the water out into the ocean and it's just coming back like it's

flooding back in like it's not it's slowly sinking uh and that's what i see it do you know this is like this is like standing on the front rail of the titanic pointing at the iceberg while the while the captain tells you oh no there's no iceberg out there we're fine and you're looking at the iceberg approaching the boat or the boat approaching the iceberg as it would be that is exactly what this is like i mean call it what it is if if the united states watched this go on in any other country, the CIA would be deployed to overthrow their government. Yeah. I mean it's just – it is absolute – it's absolute insanity.

regardless of how I feel about a candidate, I'm a libertarian at heart, so I try very, very hard not to succumb to my black pill, black flag, anarchist cravings. And I try to say, no, no, no, we need a little bit of society. We need a little bit of government to keep this whole thing in check. And I want to believe the process still works. So if the voters get together in the primary and say, that's our man, then that's the man that runs for that party or woman. And if the party then says, we heard you, but we don't really think that's going to work for us. And then they install somebody else like they did to Bernie Sanders all those years ago, like they're doing to Joe Biden right now. Because I'm not prepared to accept or believe that he is stepping down completely with his

own volition. I don't think he was in the White House of his own volition of the first place. I think he's basically being propped up by Adderall and cocaine to be able to stand up in front of the people and mumble through enough things that his handlers can keep him going in the right direction. I think the bureaucratic state is running the country. And I think the bureaucratic state is going to run the country if we have Kamala or anybody else because the party is what's in charge. or anybody else because the party is what's in charge. The person they put up via this corrupted primary is only there to maintain the illusion of choice. This is like Wizard of Oz all over again. You know, the great and powerful Oz.

And then it's this little old man behind the curtain. And that's what we're dealing with here. So I'm going to repeat something i said years ago and if anybody remembers the you know let's go through the wayback machine when phil said this when it was obama in office obama's not the problem joe biden is not the problem kamala harris is not the problem hillary clinton's not the problem they are symptoms of a problem. And the problem is that the parties are running the country, not the president. The president serves at the pleasure of the party, not of the people. And therefore, their loyalty is to the party and not the people.

And the party's loyalty is available to the highest bidder. It's farm on one side and military military industrial complex on the other side. Y'all, I don't make the rules. I just say how this works. So, the only part of this whole situation that is either surprising or frustrating, depending on the mood I'm in, it's not the fact that they did this. That is not surprising to me.

They were more than happy to have old Joe stand up there and mumble through some shit as long as the media could run cover for him. But when it happened on the debate stage, they couldn't hide it anymore, so they had to get rid of him to maintain the illusion. And whether it's Kamala or anybody else, it's still maintaining the illusion. the illusion. The part that I'm particularly troubled by is watching the Reddit crowd and the everyday Democrat suddenly change their stripes and talk about how great of a candidate Kamala is when she couldn't win a single freaking delegate when she was running against Joe Biden in the first place, when she is almost universally accepted to be a completely unlikable person, when she tries to run on a platform of being worried about minorities but she sent more freaking african-american men to jail than any

da before her for stupid stuff for freaking non-violent marijuana i mean i'm curious to see how i know california will probably stay i mean will stay blue, but I'm really curious to see the backlash from California about it. I will prognosticate that. You and I can have a side bet. There will not be any because dissent to the party is not tolerated at this point. Dissent is not tolerated. at this point. Dissent is not tolerated. You are not allowed to break ranks with the DNC, or you're a fascist, you're for the Trump-Hitler and all that other nonsense they say.

There is no, the polarization, the bifurcation of people in this country via political lines is complete. There is no middle ground anymore. There's a lot of people that want to be in the middle, but they're not going to be allowed to be in the middle. Mark my words. Because again, I am the person who over the years, I've pissed off my Republican friends as much as I have my Democrat friends because my positions to them seem to shift. And I'm like, no, they don't. They follow principles. I don't care what the party says. I care what I say and what I believe. And if my belief puts me on this side of the line, I'm on that side. And if I'm on this side, I'm on this side. But the party and the talking heads are not allowing that degree of, you know, principle dissent any longer. So yeah, I think what you're going to see, bud, is a whole bunch of people who are going to scream and yell about how she's the best thing since sliced bread, even if they've got

cousins doing time on the back of her. Because the party will not tolerate dissent. You cannot say anything against Kamala right now, or you're for Trump. And if I'm wrong, I'll eat that with a spoon, but I just don't see it happening. Yeah, no, it's interesting. I mean, it's going to be definitely leading up to the election here within, I mean, and what's crazy is the shift this close to the election. I mean, we're only a few months away and the idea that everything has shifted and so yeah i don't know it's it's going to be interesting to see and i apparently there's apparently there's been multiple calls for a because the left is scrambling to make up some ground from the disaster that biden was and also the disaster that kamala is but they they're trying to save face. And so they're pushing for, they want to do more debates and all kinds of stuff.

And that's the thing is, I mean, if she explains anything during the debate as well as she explains space and time and how the universe works and all kinds of stuff, I mean, then I think it'll be a disaster just as much. But yeah, we'll see. But here's the thing, bud. The DNC is not depending on 81 million people to like Kamala Harris. They're depending on 81 million people to be told by the media that Trump is Hitler. Yeah, which is, I mean, which is funny because if you look at the definition of fascist, I don't think people understand what the definition of fascist is anymore. People don't understand what words mean anymore, man.

Right. But, I mean, I have a theory on what's going on. Oh, do tell. And, honestly, I don't know. We'll see. But my theory is basically Kamala is a throwaway candidate. They just need somebody, a name on the ballot. They don't want to waste anybody.

They don't want to waste any up-and-comers or anything like that. So they basically said, okay, cool. You're it. Good luck. May the force be with you kind of thing. Good luck. May the force be with you kind of thing. And so they're putting her name on the ballot because they know that they can't win against Trump this year.

And the idea, because the thing is, though, is the last election, the fraud was so blatantly obvious that I don't think, honestly, I think that you might not see a lot of it this year like they're gonna say okay because they're gonna basically my idea is trump is gonna win uh because they're gonna say okay we'll let trump in if we can keep if we can keep the senate and the house blue that basically stonewalls him uh for his presidency and it's good to go. They'll try to do some other bull crap stuff, but basically stonewall him for his entire presidency so he gets nothing passed. He becomes basically that lame duck president that everybody laughs at.

But then technically, I mean, it's a second term. So it's a second term. Trump is out. And then basically Republicans, they really don't. Where are they going to go? And so get Trump out of there. Okay, he's gone. His voice no longer matters really. And now they can rebuild.

Over the next four years, they can rebuild. The DNC can, and they can actually start pushing a, uh, start grooming a, another candidate, uh, over the next couple of years, uh, to get them ready for, uh, uh, the next election. So, so yeah, so that's my theory, uh, that she's basically just throw away candidate, uh, Trump, Trump will win. And, uh, yeah yeah it'll be just like the before biden it'll be four more years of that of people yelling fascists and basically not happy with trump and they're gonna build on that so because i mean not only does the dnc have to rebuild their structure i mean the the republicans do too the republicans need to rebuild

they need to because i'm not i'm not a huge fan of trump but what he did for the economy and you know and stuff like that like i do believe he there were a lot of better things than worse but you know the fact is is they could they need to rebuild it to where they need to have somebody stand up and have a good candidate leading into the next election cycle because if they don't it's going to be the exact same thing and uh and you know who knows it's there's rumors of newsome and there's rumors of whitmer and there's room all kinds of rumors floating around of who's going to be the next person um there's nothing like that right now in the Republicans. It's all focused on Trump and it's focused on just what's coming up.

We need to start looking ahead and planning for that. Well, and I think part of the reason for that, though, is you have to bear in mind that my outlook on politics in this country is that the Republicans and the Democrats, not the voters, but the parties are like a two-headed snake. Two heads, same snake. And the RNC or the Republican Party, the GOP, absolutely 110 percent did not want Trump to be the nominee in 2016. 110% did not want Trump to be the nominee in 2016. Anybody that doubts that, look at the number of establishment Republicans who turned into never-Trumpers and would rather join hands with the Democrats to stall all of his efforts than to work with their party's candidate. So the Republicans, the party did not want Trump then, do not want him now, but they don't have a choice because if they don't run him, the voters stay home. So they're running him under duress as far as I'm concerned. What is going to happen after this election cycle,

regardless of which direction it goes, I think if Trump loses again this time, I think he's probably done. I don't see him coming back four years older, four years further down the road and trying to run again. I've said in the past, I think his smartest move at this point, honestly, would be to friggin' form his own pack. his own PAC, and if he really, if he and his family truly believe that there is a proper direction for the Republican Party and a proper direction for this country, I think he could have a very longstanding effect on politics in this country by forming a PAC and by donating money at the local, state, and federal level to politicians who exhibit those values of put America first, put the people first, stop bending over for the special interests. And I think he could have a

very longstanding effect on politics if he did that. But as far as Donald J. Trump, his time in politics is over either right now or in four years. And regardless of who the Republicans put up, they're not going to put up another MAGA candidate. They're not going to put up a populist. They're not going to put up someone who doesn't want to play games with special interests. They're not going to put up a small government constitutionalist. They're going to put up a party person. They're going to put up a Mitt Romney. They're going to put up a George Bush. They're going to put up somebody who will do what they are told to do, just like the Democrats are doing right now. And we're going to go right back into this cycle of it doesn't matter who's in charge, they're screwing you in a different way. Like I said, they're going to do what the special

interests pay the parties to tell them to do. So my outlook on politics in this country is what we're going to get in the near future is either this upswell where people refuse to vote for these establishment shills and demand populist candidates, and the parties accept that, or as more and more and more of the baby boomers age out of politics because they're getting very old and they're going into nursing homes, it's going to fall on Gen X and the millennials to finally flip the table over and say, we're not doing the same more. We're not voting Republican. We're not voting Democrat. And force third parties up to the top of the ticket. I mean, you could see that this time, too, with RFK.

I mean, he's running independent. Unfortunately, the mainstream media and stuff like that kind of shoved him out of the way. He's not allowed on the debate stage, which is insane to me. I mean, anybody running for president, I mean, when they narrow it down to what parties and stuff like that, they should be allowed to be on the debate stage next to everybody else but uh i mean yeah rfk the way you know if he's on the ticket very well you could get more people voting independent i'm gonna tell you honestly i think the biggest loss here isn't that rfk as an independent. It's that the Democrats didn't snatch him up.

I mean, the moment Joe Biden dropped out, why on earth pivot to Kamala Harris instead of go to Robert F. Kennedy, who has populist support, who is a moderate on a lot of issues? Some of the things he's about, I'm like, cringe, chill up my spine. But for the most part, I would love to see the Robert F. Kennedy, Donald J. Trump debate. I would pay money to see the two of them swap policy ideas because I don't – I didn't vote Donald J. Trump back then and I'm not voting again in 2024 because he's a Republican, because he's not. But I'm voting for him because he's a populist candidate. Because if he's pissing off the Republican, you know, if he's pissing off the big Republican Party, he's probably on my eight list. If he's pissing off the DNC, he's definitely on my eight list. And Robert F. Kennedy, Donald J. Trump, neither one of them are party people.

Neither one of them are. They're principal people. Right, and that's also why my theory about Kamala being a throwaway candidate started developing is just because of the fact that, I mean, he's only 70. I mean, Robert F. Kennedy is 70 years old. But, I mean, he's only 70. I mean, Robert F. Kennedy is 70 years old. So in theory, if he wanted to come back in four years, he could come back and run if he wanted to. I don't believe that people that old should be in charge.

I really wish they had an age limit. I'm rubbing my temples because I'm so tired of people above retirement age running – being the ones in charge of this country and holding the nuclear football. I love all of you that are – I love all of you who are at that age, but I am so sick and tired of seeing 70 and 75 and 80-year-old people holding the power in this country. I am tired of it. I am seriously ready for some people in their fifties or maybe insanity, anarchy, maybe people in their forties. Finally, you know, people who are not party shills actually get some populist support and be able to run this country. Cause you know, most of us are working in very high paying jobs. And if we're good enough to do that, I would think we're good enough to run the country. But who am I? Just a crazy person. Yeah. I mean, yeah. The idea that we have people that are in Congress that are way past retirement age, but because they're making so much money on the backs

of Americans, they don't want to step down. So I definitely think that we need to, I don't know, I really think we need to shift as far as some politics goes, as far as things go. We need term limits. And the idea that somebody can sit there, because this isn't supposed to be, I mean, the founding fathers never were, they intended this not to be a full-time job. It was supposed to be basically

a job that you didn't want uh but you did uh because you were uh elected to it uh and then you step aside uh after a couple you know after a couple times and so this is now it's been but so yeah so uh it's gonna be interesting because, I would love to see, you know, and I guess we'll see what happens with Vance as Trump's running mate, as the vice president. He is young, and so we'll see what he does. If things go smoothly, maybe he might be the person that wants to take over, and that might be why they put him in, because he's young. And so when he gets, if they get, you know, getting elected uh and he runs for four years under trump as vice president then he

turns around and he jumps into the presidency nominee because he is younger uh so so i don't know we'll see a lot of speculation uh and it's going to get interesting. I think we're going to need some more popcorn and more whiskey to watch it. But I would definitely say no matter what happens, we need to keep stacking food, keep stacking water, keep stacking your supplies, just because of the fact that we don't know which way it's going to go and i really truly feel that if trump does get elected again uh we're going to see riots and we're going to see uh basically a summer of love uh 2.0 or 3.0 whichever if you want to call this version 2.0 this year but we're going to see i think we're going to see some mass riots we're going to see more uh the pro-palestine the anti-israel we're going to see uh the pro-hamas i mean we're going to see a lot of crap uh come out uh even more than now uh and it's i think the political violence is

actually going to get worse uh closer to the election that we get the political violence is going to get worse uh and then depending on what happens with the election i think it's going to uh it's going to get worse after the election. And I'm glad you said that at the very end because it calls to mind something I saw, and I couldn't tell you where on social media I saw it, but it said that preppers are always derided as hoarders, but there is one critical difference between preppers and hoarders. Not hoarders. What was the term?

Panic shoppers. So a panic shopper buys when everything's on fire, right? A prepper buys always. So, like, this goes back to something that I've said time after time. Every time somebody tries to drag me into a discussion about politics other than Andrew and other on the show, because I love all of you, I usually like cross my eyes, zone out, and I'm like, I'm just, I'm over politics. I'm sick and tired of it. It's all, it's, I recently called politics like pro wrestling for boomers, and I kind of meant it

in a good natured way, but like, I'm just, I'm over it. It's theater. It has no, it has no major impact on my life at this point. And the thing I continue to tell people is I'm like, regardless of who wins this election in November, it doesn't matter. You should still be stacking food and stacking water, stacking ammo and buying buying tourniquets, and everything you were doing a year ago, and five years ago, and ten years ago, building up your savings account, watching your budget, you should be doing all those things, because preparedness is not something we do when the skies are dark. It's something we do because we're preppers. It's what we do. So even if Donald J. Trump wins the election here in November, and for the next next four years gas has $1.60 a gallon and food prices come down to reality and the economy is singing and life is good, you don't stop prepping.

If anything, you double down on it because now your money goes further. So that's the only thing I can leave you with. If you're the person that says, oh my God, the sky is falling. What happens if Kamala winds up as president? What happens if Donald J. Trump winds up as president? You do the same things you always do, and you don't freak out over it. You pay attention, you react to things as they're coming, maybe even try to anticipate things before they get here, but you live your life. You take care of your family, you friggin' get ready for a rainy day. And if you're having a rainy day, you get worse.

You get ready for an even worse rainy day. But that's the only thing I can tell y'all is like if you're that worried about it, start making plans now and start executing those plans. But the minute you start saying it's doom and gloom and the sky is falling and it's the end of the world, you haven't been paying attention to anything we've been saying for all this time. Because our message has been the same through an Obama presidency, a Trump presidency, and now a Joe Biden presidency.

It's been the same message. Keep prepping, keep your head down, and get ready for tomorrow. Hallelujah, amen? Yeah. Alright, well let's roll this out. You got stuff to do, I got stuff to do, I've got And get ready for tomorrow. Hallelujah. Amen. Yeah. All right. Well, let's roll this out. You got stuff to do.

I got stuff to do. I've got three days before I have to go back to work. And I have a mountain of projects to take care of in the meantime. Since I've been away from home for basically a week and a half straight. But take care of each other. Take care of yourselves. Try not to get too bogged down in the insanity in the theater of politics just keep doing what you're doing and we'll talk to y'all

next week guys bye everybody Thank you.
