Welcome into Mother of Mayhem folks. We're going to get right to it. We got the one and only Keith from the common sense practical prepper with us this evening. Thanks for joining me, sir. I appreciate you. Thanks for having me. Yeah, no problem. So we are settled in the, really in the heart of darkness, right? Central Virginia. I've got the furthest to run to either border. Right, ground zero. We're at ground zero, right. On the eve of the gerrymander vote. And just, for record keeping. This is Mother of Mayhem episode seven. And tomorrow, I'll be headed out to the polls. I don't know if you'll be headed out to you. I will as well. Correct. Yep. To vote yes for.

I'm confused now. It's no, right? It's no. We're going to vote no. To vote yes for the serpentine map. It's going to rewrite history. Yeah. I mean, we've talked about it at large, but and it kind of seems like a slam dunk. I don't know about you, but I did see a lot and have seen a lot of support for voting, no. Even in Richmond, which is weird, driving around Richmond, you know, I've seen a lot of no vote no signs, things like that. I don't know if it's enough to combat. I'm not looking for Richmond to win anything big, but, you know. I don't know.

Maybe it could be that way through. Obviously, Northern Virginia will go the route of Northern Virginia, and the rest of us will have to fight for our scraps, you know, and see if we can work it out. out. Yep. Now, if the Republicans and concerned, if they just get off their butt and go vote, I think we would be in good shape. But I think there's so many people that are just like, oh, to hell with it, you know, what's going to happen? You know, my vote doesn't count. You hear that all that you hear that all the time. I can't stand people that, oh, my vote doesn't count. Well, go out and vote anyway. Take 15 minutes. That's true. 100%. Yeah, 100%. Yeah. It will be, it'll be an interesting,

Wednesday morning. When do you think we'll find out? You think we'll know tomorrow? Or do you think they'll have to find votes? Oh, yeah. Yeah. A few boxes of votes. I wouldn't put anything past any of these, any of these politicians. But, you know, the exit, one of the polls closed six or seven o'clock. I forget if there's, I don't know, yeah, I don't know if they hold it open for an extra couple hours or stuff, but there'll be the exit polls and all the pundits will go back and forth. And I'm sure this will make national news. I'm sure all the major networks Oh, this is national. Yeah. Yeah.

That's kind of the grossest thing about it all. It's something that doesn't even have to happen. It's literally happening for the 2028 election and for the, what's it called, the midterms, right? I mean, that's the whole purpose. Yes. Yes. I don't make predictions on this, but I don't want to say it's going to be a blowout, but I don't. I think the yeses might get it.

And maybe by, you know, eight to 10 points, I don't think it's going to be a lay in. slide by any stretch, but I really have no idea what I'm talking about. It comes to polls. I'm just taking a wild-ass guess here. I really, I, there's a part of me in elections that's always optimistic, but, and I look back, I usually do what I'm about to do. I usually say, you know, it feels like we could win. Yep. And then I look back and go, what were you thinking? So I don't know. It feels good to me. Yeah. Only because, and the only reason it feels good to me, is because I think there are a lot of middle of the roaders,

but I don't mean that like, and maybe middle of the road is not the right thing. I think there are a lot of people like conversation we were having before the podcast who are like, I'm done with this stuff. And I think that people who are in that court or in that camp are looking at this as exactly what it is, purely political strategy that will affect.

them not. It will affect in terms of like if we vote yes and even if they get a democratic 10 to one majority in Virginia. I think there's a lot of people sitting here going like, what's that going to do? She's in now. Nothing is, nothing got better for we Democrats. You know what I mean? If that's what they're thinking or we, you know, independence. I think there's a lot of people pouring out of either party and just looking at the whole political processing on. I don't even want be involved. Yeah. I think we'll be surprised the number of people either center or center left that probably say that exact same thing. They're like, look, I get it. We got the governorship. We got, you know, both the House and the Senate in Virginia. Yeah. You know, what is, you know, it's, I saw an

interview today on X where the lady, she was a liberal. And she, and she actually voted no, because she said it just doesn't seem fair. You know, six, five. One of the more. One of the more. fair maps in the country. And she's like, you know, it just leaves a bad taste of my mouth. So, you know, she, you know, she agreed that elections should be competitive as opposed to what a 10 to 1 would be. And talk about people thinking their vote doesn't count. I mean, if I think there's 10 to 1, I don't think anybody on the right will come out and

vote. I mean, you know, you're 28 people to vote. Oh, my gosh. 10 to 1. My gosh. They would already feel, yeah, I don't know, militia ranks would probably swell. to be honest with you. We talk about disenfranchised voters.

It goes 10 to 1. My goodness. It's off the ballot box onto the ammo box at that point in a lot of people's heads, I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure there are. So, well, that's, you know, I'm glad you brought whoever the hell that woman was up because I'll have good dreams over that, literally. Just like laying my head down to the thought of a liberal woman saying, that doesn't seem right.

Right. Yeah. That's not enough to give me a smile. Yeah, she wasn't far left, trust me. You know, the nose ring blue hair sky. Yeah. She wasn't all the way over there. I mean, she was more left center.

And she, I mean, she had half a, you know, half a brain she was used and thinking, yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't like this. Just doesn't seem right. That's fair. Yeah. Yeah. There's something about what's in the air politically right now. What's in the air. Like, I don't, it's, I don't know if it's culturally.

really but it's it's definitely politically there's definitely this apathy across the nation i see it on x a lot with these and they're probably i mean they could be built by russia who knows but i see this collective kind of malaise that's hitting people over it's usually something like doge checks and you know several other benefits that they thought were coming via trump or or promises and i see it on the other side too. And I think, I think that there's something of brewing, Keith. I think there's something political of brewing in the country, if we're smart. Right. If we're smart with this moment, because it is clear that, you know, Ilhan Omar, I don't know if you know this. Three hundred million dollar net worth. Oh, no, she, that was a mistake, right? She moved the decimal over too many times,

apparently. I mean, I do that all the time. Accounting mistake, she's down the 95,000 network. 95,000. Yeah, I made that mistake yesterday to smooth the dough. 300 million and 95,000 in the average. And see, this is where I think even the liberals, maybe not the psycho liberals, but the liberals who are working for a living are going, hold on. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah, whether you're left or right, you don't, you know, we don't send our folks to D.C.

to enrich themselves and do all the insider treating like Pelosi and come out multi-millionaires after, you know, a couple three years. They only worked 135 days, the calendar days in a year. But, yeah, that was funny. So potentially she's under investigation. Oh, it's just an accounting area. Oh, and I'm sure that's just going to satisfy it. I'm sure the DOJ and the ethics committee, whoever's going to be like, you know what?

It happens all the time. I sure hope not. No foul. I sure hope not because they were asking for, like I said, this is just the common theme. You know what I mean? It's going to happen to Spamberger. I bet. She'll come out of this thing in Rich to some level.

Oh, my goodness. Yeah. No, no. That's her, but she was, she was a senator, right? She beat Dave Bratt.

I don't remember. Yeah. She was, actually, I do remember. I remember the signs being up. Yeah. Yeah.

I remember the signs being up and people had a really great name for her. I forget what it was. I had something to do with spam, though. It was a good one. Yeah, I remember. I never in a million years would have thought she'd be governor or beyond.

I don't think she'll be beyond now. I was kind of riding high on her for a little while until that weird state of the union thing. You know what? I wouldn't put anything past her. I really wouldn't. Yeah, I guess the playing field for the Democrats is kind of nightmarish. So you're probably right on that. I don't even think.

Are they even talking about who to run in 28? I haven't even, I guess it's maybe too early, but I'm sure they've got a few names, I guess. I don't know who. I really feel like they're putting some faith in Newsom, which is unbelievable. And in fact, I seen, where was that? I seen a video maybe or an article or something. It was relatively legit, and it was talking about how well California is actually being run. Now, it was obviously like belly laughter for me, but it was clearly like a propaganda piece that was kind of popular.

Shoot, I wonder who wrote that, The Atlantic or Rolling Stone and the UK Daily Mail. I'm not sure. For some reason in my head, it was top left somewhere. I don't remember where I look at too much stuff in a day. I really looked at too much stuff today. You ever have one of those days where you like, you know you went too deep? like you went too deep into the darkness and you come back out of it and it's like clinging to you that was me at like four i'm standing at my kids base baseball game and i'm just like i need to take

the shower the rot is on me i can feel that yeah i get you i understand it was bad man yeah i think that like i said i think it's like a virus right now there is a virus of apathy and anger towards all this political stuff, the war, the whole thing. I think people are just like, you know, where has Ukraine and Russia gone? That has been totally pushed off. I mean, we don't even talk about it because they just blew up a big ass oil field in Russia. Oh, the drones are back. Yeah, the drones are.

I'm just like, and all of a sudden we're not talking about that anymore. It was Ukraine. I stand with Ukraine in Russia back and forth. And then we got the stuff in the Gulf and all the stuff going on in D.C. and everyone's just kind of like forgotten about all the corruption and all the money laundering and everything else that's going on in Ukraine.

It is weird, right? It's still plugging along. And then all of a sudden move over. Yeah. They're still shooting each other, I'm sure. Now, I did see something weird, but I don't know. It was on X.

X is so bad. X is one of those things. You've got to really like get in and get out. It's like hell. It's like you got to get in and get out. So many bots. so much crap yeah it's unbelievable but i saw something about a romanian oil field getting struck but i don't see anything book arrest i was going to call dave jones and ask him i don't know i see nothing

about it so it can't be what an errand drone or something like i i don't know i saw the okay it was it was probably footage from the 2025 october 20th refinery blast they do that stuff on x Oh, yeah, and thank goodness. Some folks do the community note. Oh, this is actually a video from Poland back 20 years ago. Yeah, exactly. People try to recycle that. And that's unfortunate.

I mean, Elon did a great thing by buying X, Twitter, now X, and was able to get a lot of that crap taken off. But the moment it became more conservative or more leaning to the right, the bots and everybody just came out of the woodwork. And you're just inundated. you just don't know if what you're reading or seeing is actually true. It's horrendous. And you're just like, did that really happen?

It's horrendous, but it's simultaneously like addictive as well. Well, you take, yeah, you take 10 minutes to fact check what you just saw. You're like, oh, it was true. And there goes another 10 minutes of your life. That's part of it, man. That's part of this growing apathy in the world, I think, is this fact that we've inherited. we've inherited like at least three jobs in our day-to-day life that we never wanted but are now part of our day-to-day life. You know, like, can you imagine ever even thinking about fact-checking the news back in the day?

Like the six o'clock evening news being like, hey, that sounds like bullshit to me. That sounds like Russian propaganda. I remember before cable. I remember watching, you know, Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings, and they've read the news. There was no commentary. There was no opinion. It's, you know, let's hear from Mike, you know, live from Baghdad. You know, bombs falling everywhere and that was it. And let's talk to this guy and then another piece. But now it's it's all opinion, all propaganda. Yeah. The old news cats are gone. That's the question. Does it go to people unplug or do people burn it all down? That's what, or is it going to be a split society that, does some of each. I think you have a lot of people that are just,

they're so gullible that regardless of what you throw at it, whether it's an AI generated video or video from five years ago that somebody's rebranding, I think you have some people that are just so gullible that are just starving for any kind of information that as soon as they see the first thing, they glob onto it and they retweet it and they go out and campaign for it and screen from the mountain tops and but I just don't understand why people just don't take a second to fact check or check check check another source and I those people they just they just eat it up and they just the vitriol online it just it's just it's it's gross you know it's yeah

that's part of it that's part of the whole allure though part of the allure is like I can go get having me like a nice little war on Twitter on my lunch break Yeah, the keyboard warrior. When you don't have to think, you let X, you let the social media, you know, bots and everybody think for you. And you just go ahead and just retweet it and, oh, look at me. I'm going for clicks and stuff. And I guess. I'd love to know what people in a time like this, if we were given the information, but not all the information,

but not given the ability to interact what people would put that energy into, because clearly getting into a Twitter fight to get, get your point proven about your political stance fills a void. You know what I mean in their lives? It feels like, you know, it's a thing. It's like, oh, I did my thing today. That instant gratification. And somebody hits the little heart button. Oh, somebody likes me. Somebody, yeah. If it wasn't for all the social medias, people would do what they did 20 years ago. They'd get a job or they'd work harder at their job or they'd go mow the grass or they spend or they throw play catch with their kids in the yard as opposed to, you know, trying to change the world behind a keyboard or on your phone.

And it's just, I think that's done on purpose. I think it's just, it's done. Oh, I do too. Yeah, just a lot of,

just a lot of just brainless people. It just takes them, I don't want to say, takes them out of society, but it takes them out of the formula. They're not, they're not debating. They're just yelling at each other back and forth.

And it's just a waste of time. And I think maybe that's by design, just to keep everybody busy, bitching and moaning at each other and not doing something productive with their time. Well, I went down a rabbit hole. I think you're completely on point because I went down a rabbit hole about waking up the day after we nuked Iran or did something, anything in the future that put everyone in the country in a position where even the right where we decided we need a new president and i thought you know that's virtually impossible for the people to come together to kick out a

radical right radical left radical whatever president because we've been now trained to hate each other so well that there's i mean just imagine a match like if if something crazy happened and donald trump did something way out of line and and we all decided like like you know on the right people who voted for him even were like all right it's time for this guy to go could you even gather people together in a rally you know what i mean like would it can we even gather together anymore both sides or would it be like hey you want to stop my abortion you pig you know what i mean you can't be here you got to stand over there on that line yeah so i don't know but to your point yeah perfect give them a playground you let them fight each other you know

perpetually and then we stay in power and do whatever we want and they just you know get it more and more angry at one another when it gets out of hand we'll send the national garden yeah well you look at her look at Spanberger's approval rating it's it 30% maybe is it really it's it was tanking they're like oh it tanked and but it does i don't think it matters to her i like you said unless she has political aspirations down the road it makes no difference if her rating is 105 or just 5%, you know? Oh, you're right. They got the House in the Senate.

They can, obviously, they can pass whatever they want. They've proven that. If I was her, I wouldn't be too worried about my approval rating. That's a good point. Yeah, it says she holds a 53% approval rating and a 39% disapproval rating among Virginians. This is from a policy opinion research at Roanoke College. So, you know. I never did understand approval versus disapproval.

Shouldn't you just say, do you approve of what the governor's doing? Yes. No. 100 people. 50 said no. 50 said yes. You're at 50%. I really don't like polling.

Only because I've never taken a poll in my life. And I don't know many people who have you ever done it? You know, you get those calls. And I bet you I've answered maybe five in my entire life. And actually, I'll always ask them, how long is it's going to take? If it takes less than five minutes, I'll answer your questions. So you've done polls then? I've actually answered a few of them.

You'll tell a marketer, whatever shows up on your phone. That's good news. I'll give it a shot. That gives me some validity to put towards polling data because I literally, you know, it's very rare. I find someone who I count on at all who has taken a poll. You know what I mean in their life? So that's good.

That's a good thing. But yeah, it's a cross-section. You know, but then you think. like imagine the this is what I think imagine the difference between a poll that was a cross-section of America in 2010 compared to a poll in 2006 just the mentality. Oh my gosh. You know what I mean? Like this is a different population. No, you can't you couldn't even ask the same questions. That's a good point. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Yeah, the questions from 2010 or 16 years it would not even be, be relevant at all to today's political landscape.

Yeah, it's a really good point. Yeah, but that's my thing, you know what I mean? So it's less and less about the like the politician and more about where people's heads are. And not this day and age, you know, like we're setting warehouses on fire because business owners make too much money. It's a different time. No, no, it is. And people are very, they're quick to act.

like I said, you know, somebody says something, whether it's AI or real, and people, they just run with it. You know, all it takes is someone to, you know, like the thing with the vote tomorrow, you know, they're framing it is it's all about stopping Trump. And I'm like, Trump has nothing to do with the elections and the, you know, in the redistricting, that word redistricting here in Virginia. But they want to make it about that. what was it? Oh, who said that? It wasn't Obama, but someone, oh, Kane, Tim Kane said something about, we need, yeah, we need to put this together. We need a commission. We need a legislature that will stand up to Trump. I'm like, you've got six, five, and you have, you know, the Senate in the House and, I mean, what do you stand up to him? What, what's you doing? Yeah, what is there to stand up for? But that's how they're framing it. You know, and when I went, I was going to do. some early voting Saturday, went by the main library near the Chesterfield County Courthouse, and you couldn't park, lines out the door. And of course, on one side of the side street, you had the vote no people. And then about 10 or 12 vote yes people. And this was my observation.

I may have been wrong. But Lucy Corr Nursing Home is about a quarter mile as the crow flies from where these people were standing. I kid you not. If there was somebody under the age of 75 that was holding a no, that was holding a guest sign, I would have eaten my hat because I drove by and I'm like, is it field trip day for Lucy Corr?

I mean, I get it. First Amendment, you want to stand out with your sign. But I could, there was no, there were no young people. It was just a bunch of older folks that looked like they belonged in the nursing home. No offense to folks in nursing home. A lot of that no Kings rally looked like that, man.

Oh, people were bused in. Yeah, I couldn't get in. So I'm going to go stand in line tomorrow because the line was out the door and I couldn't get a parking spot. So I'll just remember the polls open tomorrow. I'll be there waiting in line. You'll vote with the rest of us. Regular folk. I wanted to watch this video real quick because it.

Oh, have you seen it already? Oh, people, yeah, people are just ripping her. It's very clear. I have already voted, early voted yes, on this referendum, because what it does is it says at this moment in time, Virginia is taking the temporary responsive, and I'll use your wordly, responsible step of pushing back against what other states have done in trying to stack the deck for Donald Trump in those congressional elections. And in a temporary manner, we have put forth new maps. So Virginia voters know the map that they are voting for. That's important for transparency.

Yes, we do. And these will be our congressional maps until after the next census, when the typical leveling of seats across the state that's happened, redistricting happens nationwide, then we will return back to our bipartisan commission. So it is responsive, it is temporary, and a yes vote. I'm calling BS on that. and ensure that efforts in other states. Well, you know, the government, they always do things for temporary, right? Oh, yeah. You can always trust a temporary measure from any government official, like income tax, for example.

They've got the majority for 26 and 28, and then they'll have like a super majority, then they just make a permanent, you know, amendment to the constitution. and they just make it, they make that redistricting. I got to learn to pronounce that word. They got to, they'll make it permanent. So there won't be, you know, 10 to 1 and oh, we don't need to vote. It'll be done with it. And that'll be it.

I'm telling you. I mean, temporary my butt. Anybody who's buying temporary is either, you know, they're drinking the Kool-Aid on purpose or they're too young to know anything about anybody who's in a governmental position. Oh, my gosh. And, yeah, and the people who vote, well, it's just temporary. That's why I'm voting for it. Oh, my Lord. Temporary measure, yeah. Temporary reminds me of another phrase, key phrase in politics, for the schools.

There's never enough for the schools, right? You can have a new tax every year for the schools. And you're like, we're doing it. What are we doing again for the? Yeah, and still some cities and counties, you know, the graduation rate's like 15, 20%, the kids graduating read at like an eighth grade level. They just push kids through anymore. So yeah, yeah, for the school, sure. For the schools. Yeah, more funding, sure.

I didn't hear much from Abigail about the school situation in Virginia, which I thought would be kind of high on her to-do list. Remember anything? No, I remember anything really sticking out. No. Terms of education. I don't recall. Not that I really.

paid close attention to any of her speeches when she was running for governor. It was all affordability. Oh, yeah. Remember her whole stick was affordability? Then she came and raised taxes instantly. Raised in all the taxes, right? To make things affordable. Yeah.

I mean, I'll tell you what's a good listen. If you, I don't want to, well, I could put it on. It's kind of interesting. I read up a little bit on her plan for tourism in Virginia. And it's the greatest form of gobbly gook I've ever seen. I really still have no idea what her plan for tourism is after reading the plan for tourism and increasing tourism. We have a problem with tourism? I mean, we have, my gosh, you've got Williamsburg, Jamestown, Virginia Beach, Richmond.

I mean. I want to bring up the video. I just want you to hear there. The video is an exercise. in political talk it's not from her it's not from her it's but it's it's so crazy because you I scanned ahead in the video like I'd scared I started it and then I scan I was trying to figure out what what the plan was I thought it would be something stupid so I was looking in all honesty to see like what right what it was but you'll see we'll scan through the video just

briefly and you will hear Garbelly gook of the highest political order. Like, you wouldn't really, I don't know who the lady is who did it. Right. I'll put the video together. She's part of the strategic tourism plan for 20, 26, 27. Okay. But it's just one of these things that just, I don't know, it caught me off guard.

Because I was really excited. I saw the videos here. And I was like, oh, cool. I don't have to read all this. I could listen to this. And it just kind of blew me away. See it, the volume's up good enough. briefly about why this plan matters for Virginia right now.

Virginia's tourism industry is strong and resilient, but we're at a critical point. Travel demand is evolving quickly. Visitor expectations are rising, and neighboring states have been heavily investing in tourism as an economic development tool. Who wrote that? Some sixth grader.

I'm going to keep moving. Just a few clips. But they're often fragmented and underconnected. without new tools and stronger recommendation. We risk falling behind from the wealth and are key to... You know, maybe it is a kid. Maybe I shouldn't be so harsh. When we look at the tourism landscape,

we see strong competition from nearby states. States like Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina are investing in transformative tourism projects. Oh, those are in statewide strategic tourism plan in full. in preparation for reviewing your regional plan. The statewide plan lays out the necessary foundation for understanding the upcoming regional plans. This plan is meant to be a living tool,

not a document that just sits on a shelf. Implementation requires coordination, alignment, and continued engagement from our partners across the country. Is anybody else's brain starting to accomplish this? I have no idea what she's even saying. Nobody knows what she's saying. This is what is amazing about this. I stumbled upon this and just like out of sheer like, let me see what they're up to.

And when I hit that video, I fell into the Twilight Zone. I didn't know we had an issue with tourism. I mean, the Flying Scrolls got a brand new stadium. Right. I mean, what you're watching is a diversion of money for no reason whatsoever. That's what that was. Yep. And Abigail or whoever was in control of that was like, look, give me like 40% effort on the video.

40% is plenty. And I'll make sure you get paid. I'm telling you, man, I listened to that thing and I was like, I'm more confused. I made no sense at all. I didn't know we had an issue with tourism. I didn't know we were competing with Kentucky. What do they have the Kentucky Derby? The Derby?

Is Dolly land in Kentucky? is that Tennessee. No, it's Tennessee. Dolly World. Dollywood. Dollywood. Yeah. I mean. Yeah, we got to get them West Virginia dollars back in Virginia where they belong. The hollers are just pulling all the cash these days. Yeah, West Virginia, not, you know, a tourism hotbed, but I mean, you got Harper's Ferry. I mean, you know, there's a little civil war going on in the Civil War history up there, but yeah, who'd she, Kentucky? Kentucky, Tennessee. maybe North Kakalaki, which is, I mean, you're taking your life into your own hands. You go to a city down there anymore.

Especially Charlotte. Yeah, Charlotte or Rowley Durham. Yeah, anywhere down the triangle. Yeah. The triangle is like... Research triangle. I used to love North Carolina. I used to meet people from North Carolina when I first moved to Virginia, and I was always like,

this is a special state, man. Like, everyone I would meet from North Carolina had that. that great accent. Some of them have that unnecessarily southern accent that I just love. You know what I mean? Yeah. I would like, where are you from? Alabama?

No, North Carolina. Oh, okay, sure. I used to deal with a girl from trucking when I was in the food bank industry. And I would call her and Mary. Hey, Mary, what's up? And you would be like, Mary is from a southern state that you didn't even know existed. And she would just be like, no, North Carolina. Like, oh, my God.

But they were always great people. Yeah. And now all I see in North Carolina is videos of total chaos in the streets, in the malls, kicking, punching. It's crazy. It's bananas. I don't know how people deal with it. They just don't. I mean, like you said, the street takeovers and people running through the malls, looting.

And just crazy. What was the thing last weekend? or up, like up in the Navy yard, up in D.C., a very, a very nice part of D.C., very affluent part of D.C. And a teen, a teen street takeover where a couple hundred teens just go running up and down the street, stopping traffic. I don't get it, all for a bunch of clicks on Instagram and TikTok. It costs people their lives, though, now.

People getting shot. Beating the comas. It's a real thing. It's not like a, you know what I mean? It's not like what I mean? This all started a long time ago. I don't know if you remember, but they used to show up at the mall and like TikTok dance.

I remember the craziest one was like they showed up and they had a giant pillow fight. And I knew at the time, Keith, I was like, they're going to show up with guns. This is the beginning. And eventually they're going to show up all with AK-47s and take over a town. We're not there yet. Give it another couple years. But we're in the mid-range. We left the pillows at home.

We bring the knives and the pistols. Yeah, I'm telling you, it's not good. The first instance of like a, of what we're talking about now, and I'm showing my age, it had to be 20 years ago. It was in New York City and Central Park. And there was a group of kids that ran through at night and just randomly attacked people that were jogging or walking their dogs. and they called it wilding.

I don't know if the news or the media gave it that that moniker, but that was the- I think you mean wilding. Wilden? Wiling? Wiling. There's no D? Yeah. I mean, my D silent.

Oh, yeah. I don't know. But that was the first time I heard about that. I'm thinking, and it may have been more than 20 years ago. I'm like, wait a second. People are just walking through the park in groups of teens or young adults, whatever, just bopping people on the head, either killing them or hurting them and just running. That's the first time I heard of that where you just, I mean, people can't be, I mean, it's New York City, but I mean, granted, Central Park and join the part. That was around the knockout game era. Remember the knockout game?

Yeah. They would just punch people and knock them out. I mean, when you see a flash mob, right, like that, that's what they were called. Right. They called takeovers now or whatever it is. first of all, the word insights like, let's just not do anything. We'll call it a takeover and do nothing. But with your background, I mean, what would your plan be?

If you woke up and you were a cop again or, let's say even a commissioner and they were like, we got to deal with this, man. Like what comes to mind? You know, that's a tough one because you know, especially if you're like a police chief or something like that in the major city, You got to play the political game too. Right. It's not like, you know, they can take over a bridge or whatever, these intersection. They're turning donuts and their cars and acting like a bunch of idiots.

I mean, you go in too heavy-handed, you know, and you get, you know, there's all sorts of lawsuits and you get complaints. And then you have the citizens are like, why can't I just drive down the street without all these people jumping in front of me? Why can they go to the store without people rushing past me and knocking things over? Oh, yeah. But no, thank goodness, I never had to deal with that as a street cop. I never had a radio call where, you know, go to the intersection of Route 10 and Route 1 because there's 600 people blocking the intersection doing donuts. And the majority of them are under 18. Oh, that would have been a mess.

Have fun with that, right? That would have been a public relations nightmare. Oh, yeah. Regardless of how the cops handled it, it would have been wrong. Definitely. It would definitely. Yeah, definitely would have been. been wrong. Yeah, you could run into, you know, a 15 year old kid who looks like he's 22 years old

and, you know, take it out on him. Yep. And now it's like, you wake up the next day in a living hell. You know what I mean? Like, oh, my God, what have we done? Yeah, because this is, this is a thing, man. Like, this is a, this is a problem that is, this is where you invest. You know what I mean? This is like if this were a share, you'd be buying. You'd be like, I'm going to put some money in the takeovers because that's a booming business right now, baby. That is not going away. I mean, I don't see it going away. I don't see a single thing that would deter me if I were in their shoes.

Of all the news stories I read, I don't read the news story and go like, oh, man, they gave that kid life. You know what I mean? Or they tried like six of those guys as adults. That's crazy. I mean, how do you have two or three hundred kids? How do you know, 30 cops show up? I mean, granted, okay, you grab 30 of them. Well, that's like, yeah, that's a small percentage of everybody acting like,

act like a bunch of idiots, you know, and then you got 30 cops that had just been taken off the street. Yeah. So there's 30 less cops to respond to this thing as it gets larger and larger. It's just sharks and minnows. Yeah. Just put your hands out and see who you can get. Yeah.

Yeah. That's a new one situation. Yeah. Yeah. It would be a great, if I would be a great. if I were a terrorist, it would be a great thing to do as a step one. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Not to give any bad ideas out, but that's what these things can get used as. Yeah, these soft targets and stuff. Now, that stuff makes me nervous. A protest, a counter protest, regardless, you have just a bunch of people walking down the street, two or three hundred people, several thousand people, you know, marching about, regardless of what they're marching about or talking about, that just those. Those are soft targets and that just that stuff makes me nervous. Oh, I don't mean that.

I mean as before we launched the main attack, we triggered the street takeover. So all the cops go over here. Oh, yeah. Show up over here. And now you, you know, you got real problems. Oh, yeah. I'll tell you one thing. I don't know how you feel about these Iranian sleeper cells, but what a letdown.

Yeah. I was all ready to go and damn it, you know. I'm tempted to go literally through the PBN archives and search Iran, Iran sleeper cells, sleeper cells and delete every podcast we ever did because I feel like we sold some bullshit. Well, you know, again, what is true and what is it? Was it Kent, the former, he was the director, not national intelligence, terrorism. He was under, under Gorka and stuff, the guy that just,

just resigned a month or two ago, the ex-Nabby seal, Kent. I think Joe Kent, Mike Kent, Clark, Kent, whatever, yeah. He testified in front of Congress, like 18,000 terrorists came in through the border. Oh, yeah, yeah. During the last administration. So there's 18,000. Okay, let's say he overinflated it. Let's say it's only six.

Oh, well, thank God, it's only six. It's not 18. Like, we can deal with 6,000 known terrorists as opposed to me. I believe it. I believe that 100%. And it doesn't even matter anymore because you have how many thousands of people live in Dearborn, how many thousands of people live in Patterson, New Jersey, how many in Minneapolis, you know what I mean, that are clearly batting for the terrorist side.

Whatever you want to confluence to be terrorists, terrorism, radical Islam, whatever you want to call it. Like, they're here. It's already here. Yeah. And it's just, you know, it's a growing problem. Thankfully, it's not like what it is in Europe. Or maybe it is. We just have more space to deal with it. Oh, that could be true. We've got more space to run. But I think something's going to happen. I don't, I don't think, but that many people coming through with everything going on in the world, I don't know how we don't have some sort of attack on the homeland, whether it's large, small, medium size. I don't, I don't see how it doesn't happen. There's just too many people here. We can't find them. We don't know where they're at.

The only thing, the only thing, and I guess if you're deep in an enclave, then this might not affect you. But I think there is something to be said about the American way of life sort of infecting the faith. You know what I mean? Like you get here and you're all like charged up, like I just left the ISIS training camp and we're going to do some damage. And then like, you know, six months of McDonald's in, you're like, just get to all that.

Yeah, they're like, I got Netflix. I get a PS5. But you would hope, you would hope that a couple, a couple out of the several thousand, a couple would be like, I don't feel like blowing myself up today. I kind of dig this whole thing, you know, sports and girls and I can do what I want. Crazy American ladies. Yeah. They don't even wear clothes over here.

It's crazy. Yeah, yeah. Well, we get lucky. Maybe a couple will decide not to de-radicalize or whatever you want to call it. I mean, we were all very invested here at PBN, to be honest. We were like, if anything ever really goes down with Iran, man, people are going to come out with dirty bombs and chemical weapons and AR-15s, AK-47. I mean, how could you not? I mean, you have to plan for it.

that. You can't just, it'll never happen. And then it does. You're like, oh, crap. I keep making the same joke. I'm like thinking we got hacked by Iran more when we weren't at war with them than we are now. And it all makes me just think the government is like, you know what I mean? Feeding as crap. Oh, well, that, I wouldn't, I wouldn't put that past. Oh, Iran hacking us again. or maybe Iran never hacked this once, you know? You never know, but it is the case. And, you know, I just was, I hate to say, I dare not say let down by the sleeper cell situation. But like, just really surprised that the fact that they could take so much damage and so much could be going wrong and not a peep.

Unless, to your point, something big is on the way. yeah for everything you know and i i follow sarah adams on on x and stuff like that i mean she you know for all the people they you know they dig on her and i mean she knows her stuff i mean oh yeah she knows her stuff like i don't know how have you ever seen her on like the sean ryan show or she's got that uh on the watch floor now she's got her own i don't watch the watch floor but i watched the Sean, both Sean Ryan. Oh my gosh. How she remembers all those names.

I mean, she just must 24-7. I mean, she just must live and breathe anti-terrorism stuff. Some people have that, man. My son is one of those memories where you're like, like we were playing a VR video game online.

And my son, I don't know how he, I don't know how he remembered it. And because we don't do a lot of Bible, but he goes to a Christian school. but some kid just was joking because the screen name on my clay or was Timothy and he said I'm going to call you Timothy to something or other I didn't know the verse and my son just spat it out oh like it was no sweat and I was like how do you remember that dude because like part of the schooling

is you learn a verse a week you know what I mean but I don't know when he learned that he said oh that's an important one dad you got to know that one yeah I'm like wow but he's always had that kind of memory. So I bet she's got like a little bit of a superhuman memory. Yeah, all those. But I probably wonder. Yeah. I trust her more than I trust anybody else. I, you know, I listen to or watch on social media or even any politicians.

I mean, she just, she's, she seems genuine to me. I mean, she's not. She's worried. That's the thing about it, you know? Yeah. Oh, yeah. You could tell the look on her face. Like, she, she believes it. She's worried. She knows the tech. She knows the guys involved. She's, what's really weird about her, though, is

even before she was making money with Sean Ryan, she seemed completely unafraid of the consequences of what she was saying, even when it came down to the government funding Taliban to the tune of X. You know what I mean? And that was what really surprised me about her. It was like, well, she was already not working for the CIA, right? She was a targeter previously. Correct.

So, yeah. So I guess she didn't have anything. to lose, but. Yeah, then she was on like the Benzzi, the Benzzi, the Benghazi select committee, her and Cash Patel was on it. Oh. Yeah. And she was, I know, she was an investigator and she did a lot of research and put together. And of course, you know, the final report that came out was not even close, you know, to what she said was going on. So I mean, it got whitewashed, I'm sure 100%. But she knows what she's talking about. So I'll give her that. Any, anytime Clinton is, involved to the word Clinton, you can assure some things are going to be whitewashed.

Yeah, definitely. That's always a, that's always a sure sign there. Yep. Yeah. It's a big wide world out there, man, and we're just fighting for Virginia here. It's hard to believe, right? We'll see what happens. Like I said, it's, you know, it'll be interesting if it gets defeated.

It'll be interesting if, you know, what she does to kind of drop back and punt. because I think that's why she hasn't signed a lot of those laws, the gun laws and a lot of the other stuff, because she wants to see what happens tomorrow. And if they win, if all the yeses win, bad news, then it's just, it's just balls to the wall. I mean, if you thought, you've thought some of those, some of these taxes and firearm laws were a bit restrictive, you haven't seen anything yet. Because she'll take that as a, why she's holding that one. that you were talking about. Yeah, she'll take this as a mistake. Yeah, and she'll just ram it through.

And then, you know, it comes to court challenges. It's just going to be an absolute mess. I think she's going to do that no matter what. I just think she's holding off so she can get people to vote. And then once they vote, like once the vote is over, however it goes. But she probably doesn't want to piss anybody off who's going to vote yes. You know what I mean? by signing something that might affect them, you know, because Second Amendment rights, man,

it's a dual, it's a dual party issue now. You know what I mean? You can't have, you can't have a crazy socialist communist revolution without some firearms. There's a lot of socialist gun clubs around the country. Definitely in Virginia. There are good. Look up. If you ever really want to screw your brain up, just go look at socialist gun clubs. Right. Look it up and there's a whole website and every state has one. Every state has at least one. So it's no longer like, oh, the right likes guns. So fuck them.

You know what I mean? It's like, it's a big thing. No, you could be on to something. I think she's going to wait and see what happens and then just full steam ahead. I think you're right. I think you're right. At which point we'll be on. We'll be on to tell you what the full steam taste and feels like because we're going to be living it right here in Virginia.

Yep. And it's going to be a story to tell. no doubt but until they come start picking people up in vans i'll be on you know what i mean i'll be on until they start disappearing us in the middle of the night for having opposing opinions like what's that knock on the door hold on a second i'll be right back you know and then you don't come back to the microphone you're like oh well it's one of the reasons i started the show i wanted to see you know what i mean if well not not to get taken away in a van i was going to say well to test to test the waters and see you Oh my gosh.

Just to see what, you know, how touchy is this whole situation going to get? I mean, I wouldn't mind. I would hate for anything to happen to you, but it would. Just know this much. We're like, see where we're at right now, Keith, this is my mentality. Okay. We're like rappers of the 90s. Look at Steve Bannon.

You know what I mean? Like, if you get carted away with a black bag over your head in zip ties and you survive it, Like, you're going to be super popular. I'm not sure if I want to take that chance. I don't, yeah. I'm not like, I don't have targeted by Virginia in the law. Yeah, I don't have Steve Bannon or Roger Stone type of credibility. So I don't think.

Yeah. That's a good point. Yeah. That's good. We'll be waiting on somebody to come save us. Yeah. We haven't heard Keith on his podcast for a while. Is he okay or something?

I'm not really sure. Yeah. Yeah. James Hill forgot about him. On to the next one. He'll rod in a cell forever. No presidential pardon for you. That's it. Oh, no way.
