Good evening, PBN Family. We are here for another episode of The Mother of Mayhem. The Mother of Mayhem. I'm starting to wonder, what will end first? This series or me hosting this series? We'll just have to see how things go in Virginia. You may have a stand-in host here one day. Who knows?

But we are blessed tonight, PBM family. We got our man Keith back with us. Let's get the hosts on the front page here. the common sense practical prepper podcast check it out wherever you get your podcasts it's a great one it's a great one from a guy with way more experience in in things like law enforcement and law than i do you know and he's living through it here in virginia with me uh we're watching the state turn into a radical hellhole and tonight we're going to talk a little bit about the battleground the freedom that I think Virginia is about to become.

I don't know if it'll be momentously historic, Keith, but it does feel like some things are happening around the same, you know, time or the same topic, the same, you know, stuff that there be some battles to be fought. No, 100%. No, I'm doing, aren't. I appreciate you having me back on. Yeah, it's some crazy times we're living in. I mean, if you want to be right in the middle of, right in the thick of it and all the stuff

that's going on, first, second, a minute. Central Virginia, Richmond, Virginia is the place to be. Definitely. And funny that, you know, we talk a lot about, and I don't think this is, I don't think we're en route to a civil war by any stretch, but funny that all the talk about civil war and that Richmond, Virginia, and surrounding areas could become such a hot area in the country as we see this divide, you know, in many categories that divide, but one of the biggest, of course is your right to keep a firearm, which is number two on the list. I feel like that one

we should probably shore up and get it squared away, right? Number two. Well, I mean, it, you know, it is the capital of the Confederacy. So I mean, what other place or a better place can you think of to kick off a civil war? But yeah, the Second Amendment, I mean, it's, you know, if you're an American, you're a patriot, I mean, it's near and dear to everybody's heart, it, but keeps, you know, us, the first and the second amendment keeps us separate and keeps it we're different from any other country in the world and you know that's just being ingrained you know in our DNA of our country since the very start so it's it's it's a tough one and then to watch these laws all over the country different you know ars and in all sorts of restrictions and how many mags and how many rounds and you

can't have one in the chamber and it's just it's mind-boggling how how bastardized I guess the courts have made the Second Amendment. But, you know, it is what it is. And for those of you who aren't keeping up, maybe you're in a relatively sane state. We've got salt weapons, large capacity magazine ban, two bills, HB217.49. We got a beautiful new industry liability standard that's going to hurt. It's just taking a guy running a gun shop on the up and up, running a gun range on the up and up and just stabbing him in the back for no reason. That's SB 27. Mandatory storage rules, age 21, purchase limits, handguns and assault firearms, ghost gun restrictions. And, you know,

what I didn't realize, Keith, is that we can't even be in possession of milled out 80% lower, AR-15 lowers. Oh, I didn't even know that one. Yeah, that's that's part of the ghost gun thing. Right. So, yeah, that's all I want to say about that on a recording. But suffice it to say, they're attacking this thing from, you know, it's taking them a long time, these crazy liberals. It's taken them a long time to sort of figure out how to best attack the Second Amendment. And I'd say Virginia is given one hell of a showing. Or Abby, the mother of Mayhem, has.

Didn't some of these same laws come up to Yonkin's desk and he just shit canned him right away? And he's like, get him out of here. Yeah. And so now, yeah. And so now they've got, you know, they've got the, I guess the majority in both chambers of the legislature here. And then they're just, they've just running wild with it, all sorts of stuff. And what's crazy about that is you veto all those gun control bills. And where's the market increase in gun violence in Virginia?

Oh, my goodness. Oh, you could look at Chicago. you look at California, you look at New York, some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country. And it's real easy to say, and I, when I hear, when I hear the word, oh, common sense gun laws or common sense immigration laws. Common sense to me is just a dog whistle for everything I say after the word common sense is just a bunch of baloney. Yeah. But you look at some of these major cities, Chicago has some of the most restrictive firearm laws in the country. And that place is the wild west.

It is the wild west. know the old adage you know you know the criminals don't care about the gun laws i mean you go on and on but that's exactly how it is so have you noticed anything in in sort of keith's day-to-day life it's early on so it might not might be a better question to ask till july first that as has affected you outside of i guess probably the gas price which we can't blame on abigail of course no no no we can't we can't blame not on her the middle east is on on fire figuratively and literally. We were talking a few minutes ago.

I went to the gun show Sunday at the race track. Oh, that's a big one. Yeah. Yeah, they have it every three months or it's the whatever gun show. And I go there and just a walk around. And I tell you what, you could barely get in the place. It was just elbowed elbow. And, you know, people two and three deep on these tables of some of these different firearm

companies. And they were just as fast as they could fill out the firearm forms. I mean, they were just flying right on the door. Yeah. See, now that's a perfect segue because there's a part of me that thinks, you know, you look at a situation like this and as fun as it is to pick on Democrats, I know my personally that there are Democrats who own guns and like guns and, you know, and we have this big battle that is happening right now in the state over the redistricting,

which is clearly a weapon. they say it's temporary. I mean, I don't believe the government any way when it ever it says temporary. But it's clearly a weapon that they want to wield for the primaries to get more, you know, more blue into the primaries. The question I have is,

it seems kind of poultry on the, like the outcome from the Democrat side. It seems like a lot of Republicans are coming out for this. And it makes sense that they'd be inspired to stop this thing. You know what I mean? You got the Democrats who already got control over everything already. What are they worried about redistricting for? Now you take some Democrats who might have already been kind of like, maybe I'll go. Maybe I won't. And you let them know, hey, mess around and you're going to have fines and jail time and all brought to you by the mother of mayhem. I wonder if it will affect our redistricting vote. I wonder if it'll piss some Democrats off and they'll stay home. I guess we could only hope. What is it? It's going to. It's going to be. to be 10 to 1. Is that the redistricted? 10 to 1. Like Augusta County out in God's country, they're carving a little blue section out of that.

I mean, it's, I mean, I looked at the map. I mean, it's a mess. I mean, it looks like some of the gerrymandering. You know, you see in Illinois where a district from Chicago runs from Chicago, all the, all the ways down to like, you know, the border with, whatever, whatever, is it, Kansas. No, St. Louis, Missouri. Yeah, there's some crazy, crazy district. that are drawn out there. But I don't know. I saw an article that in the, I guess the, the folks that are voting early that the Republicans are outpacing the Democrats by two to one or three to one. I don't believe that for a second. But you can't forget about, you know, Fairfax, Loudoun County, Alexandria. They're going to vote for it 100%. And like all the elections, you with these elections, regardless of the state election or national election,

all the other precincts and districts pile in their votes pretty early. And Northern Virginia is the one that always hangs out to the very end and then just dumps them. So if there's a strong turnout up in Nova, this is going to be a tough one. Oh, yeah, if they can get their foot soldiers out up there, it will be a, it will be a tough one. But maybe these people in the South and in the West are emboldened and the people hiding amongst us, the resistance here in Richmond, will come out, you know what I mean? I have to imagine that there are a lot of people who are kicking themselves in the ass right now that didn't come out to vote for the governor.

You know what I mean? That probably felt like, you know. I know. I'm not sure why people don't. My dad would always tell me, you know, if you didn't vote in the election, you don't have the right to complain. That's the way I look at it. Yeah.

So if you voted and your candidate lost, you can bitch and moan all you want, because at least you went out and cast your vote. But if you sat home on your butt and didn't do anything, you don't get the right to complain about how good or how bad things are because you had a chance to have your voice heard and you chose not to. I think I'd add taxes to people if I were president. I'd sign an executive order and we increase your taxes if you don't vote. So the opposite of a poll tax.

Yeah, exactly. Don't vote. You're going to pass fine. Right. Get your ass to the polls. You're in America. You know what I mean? Like you could be in North Carolina.

Korea. But yeah, so that. I forget what percentage of a Virginians actually vote. It was some crazy number. It was, I forget what it was. But once I heard it, I was absolutely amazed. I was thinking maybe 30 or 40 percent of the people come out and vote and it's much less than that, which is very, very sad. I remember years ago, it was a Colorado special, probably like pre-Joe Rogan podcast or like pre-Joe Rogan podcast before people knew about the Joe Rogan podcast. And he did a joke about, it might,

I mean, it might have been older than that, but he did a joke about football and trying to explain football to aliens. And he told, it was great segment. And he was talking about how more people watch football than vote for the president. Oh, 100%.

It was a surprise. It was a crazy way to look at it. But, yeah, so this thing is already gone. I didn't realize it, but this thing with the redistricting has already gone to the Supreme Court. of Virginia, not the SCOTUS, but like, and that's how it wound up in the referendum.

They basically said let the voters decide. Yeah. Oh. So that's an interesting little wrinkle, which means it ain't going back. You know what I mean? They're not going to be like, oh, we changed our mind. Let's rule on it again. Right.

So it really is, you know, on today's show, I was talking about how Virginians are voting for all of us. And that is what's happening right now. And it is happening right now. You know what I mean? So if you've got a, you are Virginia and if you've got Virginia relatives, what they do is going to affect the outcome of the primaries. I mean, this is on purpose. You know what I mean? It's a purposeful move by the Democrats, for sure.

Yeah, regardless of where you live in Virginia, just like you said, you're voting for the entire state in a sense. What you vote for will dictate, you know, the congressional districts for an awfully long time if they get a 10 to 1 like that. Yeah. Yeah, it'll be ugly. It will be ugly, no doubt. We could be at the beginning of gun control. They could be pushing through mandatory buybacks, mandatory turn-ins and all that. I kind of know.

I don't want to go down the what if because that can lead to a dark path. But, you know, it is in the back of my mind. There's no doubt about it. Yep. Correct. So they, I don't have the, I don't have the breakdown in front of me. I probably could get it in front of me. Let me see if I can bring it up, but I did want to talk about another wrinkle in sort of the Second Amendment, Virginia's base battle for freedom at the United States level, is this Court of Appeals decision out of Washington, D.C. today that basically went against the Court of Appeals went against the ban, the proposed ban of the same sort of magazine situation that we're in with.

Abigail, which is 10 or more? Is it 10 or more or is it more than 10? It's 10 or more, right? Yeah, 10 or, yeah. So, yeah, the 20-round mags would be banned come July 1. So correct. Okay. I'm going to see if I can bring up the details on that one.

Washington Appeals Court denies. I think that should do it. That should do it. So what, you know, there's a lot of states that would be a, affected by something like this if it winds up. What we're hoping is that this winds up making its way into the SCOTUS, right? The Supreme Court, the big, the big time Supreme Court for the United States. And then they have to make a decision.

And the beautiful thing about that is they're going to get pressure by a lot of states and a lot of different cases that are in this same sort of limbo. And then, of course, a bunch of people who have suffered through this thing already that we're going through in states. It's like Washington and the ones you mentioned at the beginning of the show. Yeah, if these laws passed, if all these laws passed, I think as far as overall restrictions, Virginia would be like have the eighth worst restrictions or the most restrictions. They'd be like eighth in line.

California, New York, New Jersey. I know. If we're eight, I'd hate, you know, I shudder to think of what states one and two, Massachusetts, Connecticut. it. But yeah, they've got some crazy restrictions. You know, mags, like you said before, you know, you know, yeah, no one, you can't have a round in the chamber and smaller mags. And it's just, it's, it's such a minefield. I can, I can, if I lived in California, something does, I can see myself getting in trouble just quite by accident just because the laws are so convoluted. And from state to state, you know, they can be different. Crazy. So the case is Benson versus the United States.

United States that was heard in D.C. Tyree Benson stopped with a handgun and a 30-round magazine. DC's outright ban on magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds is facially unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. This is the court's ruling. Benson's convictions magazine ban, unregistered firearm, unlicensed carry on lawful ammo possession were all reversed. which is a big deal. Judge Joshua Deal, the majority, quoted magazines capable of holding, this is now the Virginia Supreme Court, or I'm sorry,

this is the D.C. Court of Appeals, not the U.S. Supreme Court. But he was quoted saying magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition are ubiquitous in our country, numbering in the hundreds of millions. It's good to be American. accounting for about half of the magazines in the hands of our citizenry. And they come standard with most popular firearms sold in America today. So that's, you know, because these magazines are arms in common and ubiquitous used by law-abiding citizens across the country, the district's outright ban on them violates the Second Amendment.

That's exactly what we're looking for. Right. Yeah. No, no. I mean, I think that's going to help when it gets fast-track to the Supreme Court. obviously that'll be an argument, you know, to have these laws overturned, to have him declared unconstitutional. But then, you know, the AG, wait, is the Virginia AG going to argue this in front of SCOTUS?

He's going to have to farm this out to somebody else. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. Well, he only needed a couple of bullets to do what he wanted to do. He's going to have to tap. Somebody else is going to have to come. He's have to tap somebody else in. I don't.

That's this fell up here, guys. Lord, mercy. you know. Jay Jones. He's there. I heard read a commercial during he never, he's never tried a case. I don't know. What? That's, yeah, it was one of those, you know, Jay Jones, blah, blah, blah, text message this, he's never tried a case. And maybe, I don't know. I mean, some, some AGs don't. I mean, you don't see him in court every day. They're figurehead for the most part. But yeah, I don't, nothing personal against Mr. Jones. But be careful. I'm just saying. He takes things very personally.

I know. I hope he doesn't have my phone number. But he may have to farm this one out. And they do that from time to time. They'll hire counsel and stuff. But on behalf of the Virginia, you know, some other attorney will argue in front of the Supreme Court. But that'll be interesting.

That'll be one of those where, you know, you'll be listening on C-SPAN and everybody else will be out in front of the steps of the Supreme Court. You know, Chuck Schumer probably threatening the justices and all that like he's famously done before. Do you think it would be, I mean,

Do you think this is a comparison that's out of line or not? Would it be? Obviously, the cost would be extremely different. Yeah, the cost would be extremely different. But it's something akin to like, for people who aren't gun owners, maybe this might help you understand. Like, if the, for climate change purposes, they all of a sudden said, 10 gallon tank of gas and under. You know what I mean? Like something along those lines.

That's a beautiful parallel. Exactly. Yeah, we're screwing up the environment. So exactly, 10 gallons. So your F-350 is a 10-gallon tank, you know, and it's going to get you from, you know, you might get to work, but you may have to fill up before you get back. No, I think that's an excellent. That's an excellent parallel.

And the reason I think is because vehicles come standard with tanks bigger than 10 gallons, And there's no outright threat to a guy with a 25-gallon tank. You know what I mean, driving down the street. Right, exactly. But that's literally the shift that they're expecting the whole community of gun owners and gun sellers to make, which is take these weapons that have been sold this way since creation. You know what I mean? You never run into no Glock with a 10-round mags, not the I know of, you know what I mean?

And, yeah, and now all of a sudden you can't- parallel. Yeah, for folks who are not into firearms, that would be, that's how you would speak to them about it. Hey, look, you know, your F-150 or your big RV, you know, no more than a 15-gallon tank in your, you know, your 35-foot RV. And you're thinking, well, that's not right. You're like. Yeah. You are correct.

Where do I even buy one of those? Right. You know, what do I do? How much is that going to cost? I mean, this is legitimately like what, what a people who own any AR-15. are thinking right now because i don't know i mean i guess you could probably i'm sure there's some gunmakers who cater to california and you could buy an ar 50 well i don't even know if they are they allowed to have a r 15th to california i can't imagine that they do but yeah so i guess

the gun manufacturers and you know and mag pulling all them they'll be they're making 10 round bags or something for these ars or something like that but yeah i just doesn't i just so you can have two 10 round bags but you can't have a 20 because you know because switch in the time it takes you to switch out a mag if you're an active shooter it will change the death total yeah yeah i guess no it it never makes any sense the arguments regardless of the political which side of the political spectrum you're on a lot of these these bans and infringement upon the first and second amendment the arguments just don't hold water if you really just look at it and think about it with a critical mind it doesn't make any sense

whatsoever. Yeah, let's hope that reason will run its course. But the big question for us is, what do we have? We've got March, April, no, really, we've got April, May, June. We've got three months, and, you know, then the rubber meets the road. Yeah, she has to sign them by the 13th or 13th, I believe. And someone also said, if she doesn't sign them, there's a certain period of time, and then they become like de facto law or something to that effect. If she decides not. I'm not sure what that means. I mean,

that's not really like, oh, I couldn't get around to it. Damn, it's law now. Well, you know, I mean,

see, that's what I'm wondering about her position. Because she's either going to hold some position of power post-governor or run for president post-governor in my estimation, unless, of course, she becomes so, you know, all of her plans basically work and she becomes so radical that nobody's got the stomach for her and I feel like that could happen.

But they really did screw up and having her have to sign these things by the 13th because like I said, the vote goes on until the 21st. So anybody who gets pissed off that's a Democrat about their guns being taken away now has the ability to say, well, I'm just going to sit on the couch and not go vote on the referendum since you took my weapons or, you know, now I have. I got to, I mean, just the sheer, like, what they're asking the average gun owner to sit down and read and figure out is insane. You know, what other aspect of the average person's life outside of maybe taxes, maybe, but even the average person's taxes are, you know, put the W to work and you're done? Right.

Like, what other aspect of life does an American citizen have to sit down with these bills and figure out exactly. how I have to do this to not become a criminal. How do I not become a criminal, Abby? Like, what do I have to, what kind of backbends do I got to do? Well, I've said this before. So she, she ran as a moderate and everything she's done up to this point, it's not, not any, not close to even be a moderate. But I think that, I don't know, it just, let me articulate this, articulate it this way. I think with all these laws have come to her. And she had really, she had no say in it. So they were, they were voted through on party lines and she gets them.

I think that she might have to kick a couple of these to the curb just to maybe try to get maybe back still left of center to say, you know, look Virginia, you know, the, the, the, both legislatures, the houses, what is it, the house of what are the, what are the, what's the leg is there? I don't know. Anyway, the two legislate houses in Virginia. So they both voted. I think she's going to try to kick a couple to the curb and say that, you know, these came to me. I'm not in agreement with them. And I think she may use that to try to get herself a little bit closer to the center.

Because if she signs all of these, she's got, I mean, she's way, way far left. And there's already a bunch of buyers remorse or voters remorse for those who voted for her. thinking that she, you know, she ran as a moderate. I didn't think she ran as a moderate. I didn't believe for a second she was a moderate. But, you know, she's a politician, you know, left, right, center. I believe about half of what they say if that. Yeah, it's a good move.

It's a good basis for sure. Right. So what I've got here is the, the, because the session has already ended, Governor Spanberger has exactly 30 days from adjournment, which was March 14. Okay. To act on every bill sent to her desk, the deadline is 11.59 p.m. April 13th, you were right. Here's our three choices. Sign the bill and obviously becomes law immediately or on its effective date, usually July 1st. Right.

You've got the veto power, which to your point she may use because you can send bills back and say, let's take some guns off of this big list of assault weapons bans. or let's maybe reconsider this magazine ban now that things are looking crazy in D.C. But yeah, then number three is, and this is, I don't like this at all, do absolutely nothing, and the bill automatically becomes law without her signature. Does it give a time frame?

Is that like... That's all it says. It doesn't give, like... If Spanberger wants to stop the magazine ban, storage rules, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. She must actively veto them by the, 13th. No, it doesn't say about when, probably whatever the effective date on the bill is. So at the last day of June, so maybe at midnight, June whatever 30th, whatever, and then it comes,

if she doesn't sign it, then it becomes law. That's crazy, right? She just lets it set. I don't know why, why is that provision, I don't know why that provision is even in there. That is a weird one. I wonder where that originated. Maybe if the governor was incapacitated or they were, I don't, but there's a total political armor. That's all that. Yeah, and you could be like, oh, it snuck up on me, damn.

She probably will do something along those lines with some of those bills so that she can say, I didn't pass that. I didn't sign that gun control. Why wouldn't you if you were her? I didn't sign those bills. Well, they went into law. Well, I didn't sign them. I'm not sure what's worth. Not signing them and saying that.

or the people that would believe when she said that. Well, I, she's like, what she said she did. I mean, it's like it's not like somebody like shoved it under her desk. What the hell was that? Yeah, where does that come from? I didn't see that one. Yeah, exactly. Oh, please.

I could see her doing it. I could also see her sending some back for amendments. Maybe. I don't know, though. I don't know anymore, man. I don't know people anymore like I used to, especially not politicians. Politicians are ruthless now. Oh, yeah.

They, they just. around and I guess they just sit around and say it's it's you know by any means necessary and that's it yeah they don't listen to anybody that's you know again both sides of the aisle that they no longer hide their agenda yeah come right out and tell you what they're going to do and tell you to go pound sand i mean look at thune and the save act and stuff i mean he's playing both sides of the fence and you know you could have the save act voted on but he's like oh you know so whoever he's getting his marching orders from he's just going to drag this thing out odds are it's not going to to get passed. 80% of the country wants it. I don't understand that. What a crime. I feel like that is

something that has to be built into our legislative process, particularly if we're going to have, if we're going to have parties that are so pissed with each other, you know what I mean? Like so divided, like never before. Then we need some kind of amendment or something to that effect. We're like, yeah, if you have, if it's, forget about bipartisan in the Senate. If you've got bi-partisan, if you've got bipartisan in the population, 80% behind 76% and 70% or high 60s and minorities. The people that, you know, Chuck Schumer's out there like telling you it's Jim Crow version 2.0. If you've got that kind of agreement, then pass it. Screw the Congress. You know what I mean?

Yeah, I can't think of another anything in the past that has ever got that. that much traction from folks on the left and the right. It's always at the most, maybe 50, 50, 60, 40, but 80% of the country says, yes, we want this. And the politicians, the Republicans are for the most part, for the most part ignoring them. I mean, the leadership is. And the Democrats are just making stuff up.

I mean, they're just, you know, I can't find my birth certificate. They're going to kick me off the voter roll, which is not. Yeah. Mike Lee, there's even a provision. If you cannot provide the ID, you just have to sign a piece of paper saying, I swear under threat of perjury, I really am a U.S. citizen. And you sign the waiver and you go on about the business. It's just silly.

The arguments are just absolutely insane. Yeah, there are no legitimate arguments. No. I mean, that is, as far as I'm concerned, that's reason enough to roll out the voting machines or whatever and just do a national ballot initiative, just like you would have on the presidential. election. You know what I mean? This is national security issue. It's not like a, well, you know,

should marijuana be legal or not? You know what I mean? This is a big deal. And this deadlock in Congress is at least three years going forward. You have people that are not going to comply to anything in Congress on both sides of the ball. And that's going to be what life is going to be like under Trump because they hate that guy so much. You know what I mean? That there's, no way they're going to be like, let's work together, Don. Yeah. You know, and if we lose the midterms, and it doesn't, I mean, depending on what article you read, you know, I mean, the Democrat, they already have the articles of impeachment

written up. They just put his signature on it. I mean, I'm sure they got about six or eight of them. And to think about it, think about it is there's a lot of Republicans that don't like Trump. I mean, he's an outsider. Yeah, he's an outsider. He's messing things up.

You know, they don't get all their bribes and all their PACs and all their taxes and all their lobbyists and they're just like, oh, I just cannot wait to this guy's done. They lose the midterms and nothing gets past, not that a lot's getting past anyway. And then he gets tied up for the next two years of the two years following the midterms with impeachment after impeachment. And it's just, yeah, just bad news. I think he, to be honest, I think we got about one more, one more big thing that he can do to I don't think it's not necessarily pissed the American people off but make the American people

uncomfortable in a way that they don't want to be uncomfortable before a primary and I think we will lose pretty pretty handedly you know what I mean I think the ice shootings were a big deal I don't think I think a lot of people who are kind of on the fence are going to think about that the gas prices in the war it's a big deal that affects the average person you know what I mean because the average person is going to work and saying what what is why am i paying this much money for gas right now you know i never would have ran into the iatola ever right because they don't you know they don't look into like what kind of missiles did they have and how close to i'm talking the average american right now how much in uranium were they enriching no they just think god

man i got bills you know so if we if we run it and now you have the the uh the uh tsa situation, which, you know, it's stubbornness in Congress is what it is. You can look at it either. The average American can look at it either way they want. They can say Trump would just bend a knee here and we can get people through TSA and get the people paid. And the same thing on the other side. If the Democrats would vote for a bill that just everybody wants. You know, so it all depends on how it goes. But I feel like one more big thing that affects people, you know, at that day-to-day life could really be the end for the Republicans in the primaries. Yeah.

Particularly if it's close, you know. Right. Whatever we're doing in Iran with Israel, whatever, whatever's going on. We need to wrap that up. Yes. Six, six American, six soldiers dead, a couple dozen injured, whatever it is. 200 billion more funding on the way. Yeah.

Just we need to wrap that up. As Americans, we have an attention span of about 15 minutes. Yes. That's correct. And about a week will be like Iran, well, half America can't pick out Iran on a map if you gave them 20 choices. Exactly. Just get that, get that, you know, memory hold that, get that out of the way, get gas prices back

down, you know, come July, August, you know, everybody's rah, raw, right United States. And, you know, and here comes the midterms. We'll see what happens. It will be interesting. I don't like the amount of time we have. No, it's short, real short. Because I think we're going to go into Cuba. You know what I mean?

we're going to do something in Cuba that's going to be wacky and I don't know how that's going to go over and there's always the element of and and all this foreign stuff you know people don't like that either yeah I don't know but with Cuba I think all the all the folks that fled Cuba in the last like 30 years all the expats from Cuba I say if anything happens to Cuba we just allow them to jump on a plane and fly and just let them take care of it just let them you know get the government back at order And I think a lot of those folks, they still have a love for their home country, I think a lot of those folks would really be happy to go back and try to make Cuba, you know, what it was 50, yeah, 50, 50 some years.

Pre-communism. Yeah. It was a beautiful country. I mean, just like Iran, I mean, you've seen the, the home movies like in the early 70s, women walking through Tehran, you know, they had the big hair, they had the pantsuits, the high hair. Yeah. It looked like, you know, it looked like the hippie days here in the U.S.

I mean, the flower printed shirts, I mean, they were just, they were rocking it out. And then it did what all the hell. But I'm sure a lot of, a lot of Cubans would love to go back and try to get their country straight. Yeah. I don't feel like that's his plan, you know. I feel like Cuba's about to be the Bahamas for Americans. I feel like it's about to be the new Bahamas, the new Puerto Rico, you know what I mean? Yeah.

That's what it feels like. And I don't know. We'll have to see. But, you know, we've got enough problems. here in this in this state to deal with over the next six months i mean i don't know i don't even know how our turnout as a state will look like you know what is that going to we won't know until we see what happens with the vote on the 21st that will be the tell yep 100% yeah everybody's got to come out and vote guys i mean it's and and you made a great point you may read stories about

how well things are going. And that a lot of times can make you say, well, do I have to go vote? You know what I mean? The Republicans are doing great. Oh, we got this in the bad. No, they don't need my vote. We got it. I read it on the internet. We're good. Yeah. That's like Sciop 101. You know what I mean? You read the author's name. It's the names like Tommy Liberty or something. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. I think that guy might work in Abby's...

office. Yeah. So what else is, we talked about all the taxes in previous shows. Yep. I'm just trying to think beyond the executive orders and the new bills passed this legislative season. If there are any more surprises up the sleeve, you know what I mean? Any more kicks to the nuts that we could not be prepared for. Yeah, and I mean, we've got enough. And like you said, we'll, we'll see what happens with all these firearm restrictions. And she signs them, kicks a few back, vetoes, whatever. We'll see. But it's, you know, the big one, that'll be fast track to the Supreme Court. You know, there's several different, you know, entities and, you know, the NRA and all these other different acronym people, you know, they've got the, the, the ink's not even going to be dry when she signs that, that bill. And they'll, they'll, they'll file the next day. They'll be at the clerk's office at 8.8. just with a pile like this and just you know they'll be injunctions and yeah it'll just it'll just be a mess and then the press will have a field day with it oh of course everybody will get so confused we don't we won't know which way is up yeah it would be very interesting to see you know like old dominion shooting range and you know a bunch of the businesses here and close by that could be affected by it

you know because yeah i guess if you if if you're in a situation where you take your firearms to the range like, you know, most gun owners do at some point, hopefully. Hopefully you don't have an AR-15 sitting under your bed that you just leave there and hope it's going to work one day. But, you know, suddenly you going outside with that thing with a 30-round magazine on it to go do your run to the shooting range like you normally do. Whoa. You know what I mean? if it gets moved from being a you can't buy it to you can't own it. Yeah.

Let's, yeah. And that's, that was a good distinction you made. You know, everything before July 1, it's grandfathered in. Yeah. We actually looked at, you know, you can, you can gift it to an immediate family member. You can put it in a will. But, you know, if your neighbor passes away, you know, the, the nieces and nephew can't come to. You say, well, you know, Mr. Smith, Keith really wanted you.

to have this AR, even though, you're like, no, no, don't. But yeah, that's the thing. I mean, it's if it's grandfathered in, you can take your AR, your 20, 30 round mags, go to the range, do all your stuff, but come July 1, you know, no new ARs, no large capacity mags. And you can't buy them in Tennessee and bring them into the Virginia, because that's importing after July 1. But yeah, they've, they've got most of those bases covered.

So, yeah, the gift and the, you know, having something in the will, you know, that's, that's, that's the way to do it, I guess. But yeah, I guess we can all go out and buy about 10 or 15 AR-15s and just start handing them out to people. That's my friend. That's my cousin. But, yeah, what it sets up, though, is instead of introducing, instead of introducing legislation that would be super radical and terrifying and incriminating, which would be now, which would be. you go from no gun control on that end to all of a sudden you can't own these weapons. Now come next legislative season, they just have a couple sentences to change. Sure. And now the grandfathering goes away and it becomes you can't have them here.

Yeah. So if the law she signs gets fast tracked and it gets upheld, so it actually becomes law, then why wouldn't that be the next step? That is the next step. That's just, yeah, exactly. So then it's you have until November 1st of what, 2028, 2029. Yeah. Oh my gosh.

Can you imagine. I can't even. We'll give you a 20 bucks for it. Don't worry. Oh, yeah. Like cash for, give you a tax credit. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. And I'm sure a bunch of people would take advantage of that. Oh, $20 off my taxes. But yeah, oh my gosh. If there was an outright ban and you had until X amounted like at midnight or whatever day to hand your stuff back in. Lord have mercy. I certainly. Yeah, well, fun's a word. I could talk about, resisting. Yeah. I'm sure there's plenty of, plenty of gun owners and plenty of good old, plenty of good old boys out and stuff with Virginia that are just like, okay. Yeah. Well, that's when you

start having those conversations with sheriffs, right? And that has happened in other places. Oh, absolutely. Which is, you know, who's going to enforce it? Yep. You know, what's the enforcement going to look like. Well, there's always state police. That has always been the big question, you know. And we know how state police, they, you know, they would, they would have to go along with the governor. I mean, that's just, that's just how that works.

State police, hence the day. But yeah, that's just, that's, yeah. That's a dark day. I hope we don't have to do that show in two years. I guess the only other thing is, uh, have you given any thought to red lines for putting the, for sale sign up. 100%. So I turned 60. Oh, okay.

Oh, yeah. We didn't talk about it in pre-show. This is something you and I did not talk about. So I'll be 60 in a month. And my whole plan was to retire at 62, take Social Security early. Okay. And build a cabin somewhere,

East Tennessee. Hell, I'll even go to Florida, build a cabin, not exactly, you know, no mountain ranges in Florida. But I'm looking at somewhere that won't tax my retirement, my pension, sales tax, all that. So I'm looking at Tennessee, maybe Texas or Florida. But, you know, my timeline may have just sped up a little bit. It, I mean not wait until 60.

Yeah. I may not wait till 62 to bedding on what happens. I mean, you know, it's unfortunate. And I was born and raised in Indiana. I've been here since 88. So Indiana will always be my home. but Virginia is kind of my adopted home, I guess you could say. And I, you know, I enjoyed here, a lot of great people.

You know, you got the mountains, you got the beach, and all that good stuff. It is a great location, man. And you just, but no, that's, you know, if you're going to stand on principle, and like you said, you draw the line in the sand, there has to be a point where you're like, you know what? I am not going to participate in this state and what's going on, and I'm just going to leave. And maybe that's what the far left wants. So like just get those red people out of here so we don't worry about redistricting.

We're just going to be blue like California. You know, and Republicans and moderates will be the very small minority. I mean, that's the whole plan. But if that's the plan, it's probably going to work. It's so weird, man, because I'm not a military person. I don't even have, you know, like there's none of that bred into me, build into me. I haven't studied very much of it. But there's just this thing.

me man it could be philly there is this thing about seeding territory that just oh god i don't know i don't know maybe it's a built-in stubbornness or something like that yeah or maybe you know what it probably is is an ignorance to it probably is more of an ignorance to the outcomes you know what i mean having not physically been affected by like get hit with a wave of charges over your guns wind up in jail, wind up, oh, in the state, thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. And then maybe you might say, damn, honey, we should have moved. Yeah, it's good. It'll be very interesting to see what happens. But you're right. Some people, that's going to be their line in the sand. They're like, I'm not going to be a part of this. Yeah. Move to a different state. And, you know,

that may happen in my case. We'll see, you know, like my timeline may be sped up a little bit. I'd like to know how many people, you know, when this thing first started, Dave Jones was early, early on. He's like, well, we better sell. You know, like when the day she was elected, you know what I mean? It was like that early on. And I was like, oh, man, is it going to be that crazy? And, you know, it might.

Sure as hell. Here we sit. Yeah. You shall see. Yeah. A lot to consider for you, Virginians out there. You know, maybe it's worth, maybe it's worth putting together a group who can help quantify what that would look like, you know, because it wouldn't be hard to run a poll and to see, you know, okay, how many people are legitimately considering leaving the state because of these radical laws, find some kind of average within the statistics that goes into, you know, income and property ownership and taxes, you know, from that.

Right. And then to look at, you know, what is the real cost of these laws? I mean, look at New York. I mean, their taxes are getting taxed. And those people are out of there. What are the governor, Hokel, Hokel, what? She's begging people. She wants the millionaires to come back.

Yeah. So I'm like, wait, what? No. Come back. We just want to take more of your money. No, I left New York for reason. Or folks leaving California to go into Texas or Tennessee or something like that. I hope they don't screw up Tennessee, but so much.

Nashville, Nashville is, is, is, is, is, blue. But, you know, the eastern Tennessee, you know, out there, you know, what east or what, yeah, east of Knoxville or west east of Knoxville. Beautiful country. I've got friends that live out there. They're like, come on. Smokeies, yeah. Oh, my gosh, beautiful, beautiful part of the country. Yeah. That's, I mean, but that, you know, how many times can you do that? I think that's what it is. You know what I mean? I'm 40 now. I feel like I could, I could potentially be pushed. through several states. You know what I mean?

Like, had I, years ago, when we were under Northern, during COVID, we were looking at moving, and a bunch of people were like, dude,

you should just come to Texas. A bunch of friends that lived there and all that kind of stuff. And if I had moved to Austin, Texas or something like that, or in the suburbs, then I'd be like, damn,

I'm going to leave again. Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, any of the major cities. Yeah, they're blue, deep, deep blue.

And that's kind of, of what irks me about it is like you know I guess you know we have the skill set in the experience to go live somewhere that never would be touched if we wanted to you know what I mean I even have some land in New Mexico even though that's a liberal kind of insane ward but you know there are places like that where you could go live and yeah disappear if that's your thing The problem is, I don't know how you feel about it, Keith, but if I ever wind up in the sticks, like, I'm fully embracing that. I'm not doing no podcasts and videos and like I'm disappearing, disappearing.

No, 100%. No, that's my plan. And I'm not sure if it'll be, you know, I build my cabin to be completely off grid, you know, maybe a hybrid, maybe a little bit of grid tie, but definitely have a lot of off grid capacity. Yeah. And I just want to ride off into the sunset. And the only thing I want to hear is maybe a plane every. once in a while. I don't want to hear neighbors. Maybe, you know, in the fall, some shotguns or rifles.

That's it. Traffic. Just, you know, I, no, just, just leave me alone. Just let me have my peace and quiet for however long I'm going to be around after that. And this, you know, that's it. I'd create a pen name. I'd do that. And that'd be about it. That would, that would be about it. Because, yeah, that's, once you're pushed to that point, you have no choice but to disappear, right? Yeah, fire up to Starlink once a week and checks up email. What's going on in the world, maybe or maybe not. Tell your family, you know, every third Sunday from noon to 1 p.m., I'll be online. That's the only way you're going to be able to reach me.

That's, yeah, that's the comm. So everybody gets, you know, every third Sunday. We can talk to dad every third Sunday for 45 minutes and he goes dark for another month. Then we have the option of driving 10 hours with a four by four to go find him. Yep, yeah, yep, yep. Yeah. Get past all the booby traps and everything else. I'll tell you where the landmines are coming up to drive.

Bring your metal detector. You're going to need it. Yep. Yeah, man. You know, it's awful. It's awful. It really is. Because this place is amazing.

Richmond is an amazing place. Sure is. I sure hope that the cooler heads prevail and the Supreme Court gets involved. And, you know, we see some legitimate protests. I wish I would have known about the protests in Richmond. I heard, did you hear anything about it? I heard nothing about it. Oh, the MAG giveaway?

I was mad. I'm like, it wasn't on, I didn't see it on X. Of course, I don't watch, you know, I don't watch, you know, commercial TV or anything like that. But yeah, I wasn't across X, hey, come down to get a mag or I didn't see. I was like, oh, I was bummed. Yeah, I don't even care if they gave me a mag. I would have just liked to have been there, you know what I mean? And had the crowd be sizable or bigger than it was, you know?

Yeah, yeah, I had no idea it was happening. I mean, he had no idea. My dad calls me up. So he tells me about he saw it on the news. I'm like, what? Of all things? I'm hearing this from my dad. Yeah. Okay. Okay. That's strange. But, you know, that doesn't bode well. No. Well, Keith, I appreciate you coming on. Oh, thanks for having me back. I appreciate it.

I think we established the battleground of freedom and what's up, what's at stake here in the state of Virginia and, you know, for the state and for the country, possibly. So PBM family definitely keep your eyes on it. Keep your eyes on this state. Even if you're not here in the Commonwealth. And if you are here in the Commonwealth, make sure you get out and vote and, you know, get active, participate any way you can. You know, voice your opinion. I haven't written Abigail. It definitely feels like, you know, or my representatives.

In Richmond, we're so blue. It's insane. They'll probably just, you know, auto delete. Right. But, you know, do it. I mean, you know, at least you've said your piece. And they may shit can it, but, you know, at least you said your piece. Exactly.

Yeah. And I think that's important. Save it. You never know what might come up. I emailed him. I told him I wasn't dealing this stuff. All right. Well, guys, thanks so much for joining us for another episode of Mother Mayhem.
