I don't want to set the world on fire. Indeed, the American Revolution cannot be understood without taking into account the religious teachings that motivated patriots to action. But freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. One night who decided they'd go kill some Americans. What difference at this point does it make? We are the Prepper Broadcasting Network. Hey, hey, hey, it's the Rising Republic with your boys, Elle Douglas Hogan. How's it been going for you, Ryan?

Oh, it's been hot and hectic, like normal, pretty much the way it is at summertime around here. But I know my garden has been suffering and just trying to figure out what to do about that. What's in your garden? Well, I had onions, garlic, potatoes, corn, lemon cucumbers, cucumbers, pumpkins. tomatoes, you know, normal stuff. Something's been eating my onions, which is weird, because most animals don't like that. My potatoes are pretty much going.

They were going great, but then I think something was also eating those. I'm not sure what's going on. But I'm going to make a big switch next year to container gardening. So we got 25, 55-dion barrels, and I'm going to be sad enough for next year. I know we had a lot of rain in Southern Illinois, and then all of a sudden it dried up. And I don't, I would think that as much rain as we got.

early on in the year that the earth would be so saturated that uh you know nothing would dry up but our pool or not our poor my pool i've i filled it up like three times yeah it's evaporating in the heat and i'm like where is this evaporating to because it's just just been so much humidity in the air and the pond is going down it's kind of low i'm like where could it go i'm obviously you know it's i can't see how this could it could all saturate into the earth but obviously a lot of it's probably going back in the air and probably maybe getting, you know, the saturation is getting blown away to other parts of the states. Yeah, and then it just keeps going up.

Yeah, it's been super dry here out west. We've had a couple of, there's a 100 acre fire right near where I live, kind of took off a bunch of farm fields and stuff, so that wasn't ideal. What's the staple over there in Washington? Well, where I live, it's mostly wheat. chip peas, that kind of thing. Apples and grapes are pretty predominant in central Washington. Okay.

I know we get, I got a pear tree in the backyard, but that's not like a staple. It's just something that I don't even know how it happened. It's there, and pear trees take a while to grow. But man, this year, because of all the rain we got early on, they're just these huge, luscious. I never thought pairs

were like soft to begin with. They're like, especially if you try to bite through the skin, it's so tart but man you take that skin off and you got something it's this semi tart you know but it's more more sweetness kind of pops through whenever uh after you get the skin off but man they're big and it's the biggest i've seen them in some time but we also got corn in illinois corn and beans is our big thing thanks it takes a lot of water to do to keep corn alive i'm finding that out hard and fast to keep corn alive yeah it does and so that's why i wonder because in southern

Illinois, it's kind of weird because the farmer's almanac is a big thing in these parts. The farmers, you know, they get that and they watch it religiously. It's like the second Bible to them because you just can't take a bunch of water out to the field, especially have, you know, 100 acres of corn crop. Oh, yeah. You know, to keep it water. It just don't work that way. And so they've got to watch it closely and decide, you know, what they're going.

And usually alternate. They'll do corn one year and beans next or maybe wheat, like you were saying. and they kind of alternate it back and forth. But they got to watch that almanac real good because they don't want to put something down and it requires a lot of water if we're going to have a week, a week, you know, rainfall this year, you know, expected rainfall, I should say. Yeah, and I, I mean, I do kind of like competitive homesteading with a buddy of mine at work. And so we'll kind of, we'll razz each other a little bit,

but also share ideas and what's working and what is it. And, man, this guy's got me hooked on basically developing your home. compost and that's kind of the key to it with some of the I always thought the soil around here was fantastic but I'm learning hard and fast that years and years of people's especially farmers spraying glyphosate and round up and different other things to keep everything else down over time has really damaged some of the soil that was previously fantastic so it looks good but there's not a lot of life in it. And so I think I'm really going to double down on compost,

try and do a better job of that next year. Like making your own? Yeah, because that's what he does. He just makes all of his own and stirs it all up and does the thing. And I mean, he's religious about it. And the method that he has is fairly significant. I mean, he planted two or three garbonzo chickpe seeds. And I mean, he had a giant tree growing up.

off of one little plant just because of the soil and the way he treated it. I mean, he's watered them just not the same as I am. And it really doesn't take a whole lot. But, you know, just giving it that attention and that nutrient that it needs without chemicals. I think that's a key component of having a good garden. Yeah, a good organic garden. So I can't remember. Do you have rabbits?

Yeah, I think the owls are keeping the rabbits in check lately. But yeah, we do tend to get, and are you talking about wild rabbits or? Well, no, the kind you raise for food or whatnot. No, I don't, I don't raise rabbits. I've considered it, but. So with your compost, you just use, can you use, like, like, like chicken? Chicken poo or whatever? Chicken poop and browns and greens.

And I mean, you got turbocharged compost right there. So I got a machine that is used for making dry foods, like dry pet foods, and just like a mixer. And I usually will put wood ash in my chicken coop. And some of my wood ash has carbon, like I'm burnt wood from my fire pit, fireplace, whatever. And I started putting it in that machine, and it's almost like it's coating it with other material. clay and sand and the other stuff that's around. So I got these weird little pelletized carbon gems. So I'm excited to see how those work out next year.

Okay. So you've been paying attention to what's going on. I know you've been very busy. Everything that's going on with. Yeah. I spent a couple of hours on social media today. I don't usually, but today I was kind of drawn in because of all some of the stuff that's been going on, especially the past couple of.

weeks and especially just the other day. I knew it was going to cause a bunch of heads to explode. I sure has. So I imagine you're referring to the Russia. Yes. Yes. Well, not just that. I mean, the Russia Putin thing is not a big deal. I got to throw some handclaps out in a huge round of applause to Donald J. Trump, DJT, for having the jets. Did you see the scene of the jets fly? He had the jets fly over Alaska. Yeah. like the the big bomber that flew over it was escorted by the other the smaller jets i'm sorry i'm not my jet lingo is not up to par but like our very best uh flew over um just to make a scene like air superiority kind of a scene and uh i thought that was a brilliant move because it stopped

Putin in his tracks he kind of stopped and you know and trump just kept our walking about say two or three steps ahead for it realized that Putin had stopped to turn around and and look to see what was exactly flying over his head and uh it was it was it was pretty awesome uh i know i would have been in all just seeing that fly over um and for him not having that kind of technology you know because uh their air force is not strong at all um not even close to what we have and so that that was a display of power i think um but more so not just off the topic of still or rather still on the topic of Russia is all the Russia collusion stuff that has been coming back to the forefront because now Tulsi Gabbert releasing everything that she's been releasing declassifying stuff

with the left is going crazy saying oh it's all made up even Obama has come out and say oh what they don't have anything blah blah blah and they're all coming of course they're all saying this there's nothing no proof or anything even though she's releasing you know documents memos and some of the stuff is redacted but there's enough revealed and she's giving names to i mean susan rice john currie john clapper i mean a jane clapper john brennan loretta lynch and 19 others that were involved in that whole russia collusion thing and the still dossier thing that hillary clinton foundation paid for okay uh that was all her idea that she cooked up and been presented to to brook obama and so when they got to look he had the

the the his uh justice department look into it they're like well we can't find that there's no there's no collusion here we can't find anything substantial and he's like no run with it anyway and he sent out a memo saying find find something pretty much make this work kind of a memo and so that's when they they started running with the steel dossier thing and just they just double down on it yep and i mean it's sad that it takes this long for us to find out what we already know we've been saying that kind of stuff for years this is all just a bunch of well back when they were when they were first presenting it because here's here's how it plays out all the time with legacy media, they will, a Democrat will say something and the legacy media will

run with it, evidence or no evidence, okay? But when a Republican says something about a Democrat, well, you have no proof of that and there's no coverage on it whatsoever. Or when they present the truth, they won't air it. Or they'll cut, they'll cut into a commercial or cut away from what is being said. You know, when the truth is being declassified or it's being talked about and some kind of a disclosure meeting or whatnot and that's how things been playing out and I mean I the whole the whole situation with illegal border crossings and all that kind of stuff it was just poo poo the last administration for four years people were seeing it I mean right in their faces like how could you deny these kinds of things oh it's not we don't have a

border crisis you know and talking about the border crisis they yeah they're pushing to run Kamala Harris again, you know, this time as president. Well, I mean, you know, again, as president. And it was a monumental flop when she lost so badly against Trump. I don't think it was ever going to take form. But now they're talking Bernie Sanders and AOC, which, yes, if that's, I mean, good, run them. Please run them. Yeah.

But if that's the face of your party, you wouldn't have another. you're going to have another 2020 run Yeah I want to play this little clip here of This is so Tulsi Gabbard is going to Drop some information here

But this is a little clip off of Fox News And the reporter here is Talking about the declassified information And she's referring to the Russia collusion And how it was all debunked And that they weren't going to run with it But Obama said go ahead and do it anyway

kind of a thing. So this is an interesting clip here just to feed off what we're talking about. And according to documents, a December 2016 presidential daily briefing concluded that Russia did not impact the election, but that was shelved by the Obama administration. Instead, Obama gathered his national security council the next day to discuss creating a new Intel assessment. That was published on January 2017, and it claimed that, quote, further intelligence has come to light showing Putin interfered in the election to help Trump. And this intel was later confirmed to be the fraudulent steel dossier. All this is happening as former CIA director John Brennan and former FBI director James Comey are under criminal investigations.

Now we've got complete coverage on this. White House principal deputy press secretary Harrison Fields is coming up in tonight's big close-up. But first we go to Lucas Tomlinson live at the White House with the latest. Hey, Lucas. Good evening, Doc. Congressional reaction has been pouring in. Here's Pat Fallon a few hours ago on Fox. There's certain things that I can share with you. There are certain things I can't because I do sit on the Intelligence Committee, but there are grave concerns that I have. And the more that I look into it and the more that we find, it's alarming. This is potentially Watergate-esque. It's that big of the deal. Here's some more from the documents.

that you were mentioning off the top top. Gabbard points to this material which intelligence official state Russia is probably not trying nor had the capability to influence the election by using cyber means. Gabbard appeared on Fox News Sunday, excuse me, Fox and Friends earlier this morning. President Obama and his team, he directed a manufactured piece of intelligence

that detailed not if, but how Russia tried to influence the outcome of the United States election that President Trump won in November of 2016. This document was then used as the foundation for everything that came next. Now, Gabber said, I'm just going to stop it there, but it gets pretty deep. I mean, all the way down to the meetings that they were having, because, of course, Obama sent the memo out, and then all these people, these 24, 24, 25 people met together to try to iron this out and to make this work regardless of the fact there was nothing there.

So what was that one thing that Nancy Pelosi has talked about? Yeah, the smear, the wrap-up smear. Uh-huh. Yeah. So, yeah, and just again, so in case people are just listening to the show for the first time, the wrap-up smear, according to Nancy Pelosi, is something that the left does. They basically manufacture falsehoods against a person, and they sell it to the media, and the media runs with it.

And so if it comes at you, you got to turn that around. And so in other words, what they were doing, the Russian collusion, they were guilty of Russian inclusion, but instead they turned it around and they sold it that Trump was colluding with the Russians and they manufactured that lie. And all they had to do was tell the legacy media, this is what we have. And they don't need no proof. They just run with it. And that's the wrap-up smear.

And then it became a three, four-year-long smear campaign against Donald. Trump that he somehow clued with the Russians, even though there was not an ounce of proof to show that there was. Even the Steele dossier, nobody could ever prove that this person, that the incident was even true. So it was even debunked later on by Christopher Steele himself. Yeah. And still Hillary Clinton, who paid for, still hasn't been held accountable for that.

No, I mean, she doesn't. I mean, it's kind of, personally, I'm to the point where I don't want, I could care less about accountability because I know that it's not going to happen and I I just want to be able to live my life not be taxed into the ground and be able to have something that I can share with the future and it's kind of it's kind of disheartening to to think that you know I I want to be able to teach my my kids or grandkids here in the near future that hey look you know this is what government is is how it works but i don't feel like i can tell them anything because it's all just a bunch of garbage and like it doesn't make it doesn't make any sense to try and explain

the functions of government when they don't follow their own functional design right and when they watch the news uh they can see that obviously the government is not functioning the way it's supposed to anyway yeah and i mean now all it is just it's like it's like watching law order but it's just a bunch of lawyers attacking each other it's like this is it's just a sitcom or a tv series of of one extreme accusation in exchange for another and back and forth and back and forth in the meantime i mean like you say i i got to hand it to trump for at least getting russia on the table when it comes to peace talks you know i that's one thing that i really admired about his first term was that, hey, look, this guy brokered peace deals in places

where peace hadn't existed for decades. And, you know, within the first six, eight months at office, here we are at the table, getting ready to negotiate a peace deal of a war that was manufactured and supported for the previous four years that nobody, except for the extreme left, supported over in Ukraine. So, yeah, I don't know. A bit of a rant there, but it's kind of like this is, it's getting to the point where I think the average American wants peace. They just want peace and quiet and stability just for a minute to get back to that point where we can be functioning as a society instead of watching, you know,

male cheerleaders go out on the football fields. Oh, I 100% agree. In fact, the whole thing you said at the front, I don't think it was a rant at all. I mean, it's all, it's all true. Everything you said is true. But the whole accountability thing, I can't remember who the, I was, I listened to a lot of stuff throughout the day. You know, I'm, I'm a patrol officer and I have eight hours to listen to the radio and to, I watch a lot of YouTube videos, both sides, mind you. I don't just watch one side.

I'm not, I'm not brainwashed. I'm not gaslit. I, I see what everybody says. I know what everybody's opinions are. I know what their views are, you know, the parties. as far as that goes, you know what I'm saying? But one of the conservative commentators that I listen to, I can't remember who it is because I do listen to a lot,

said, just stop talking about it. Stop bringing up the Epstein file. Stop bringing up the Russian inclusion. Stop, you know, revealing all this stuff. If you're not going to hold people accountable, if you're not going to arrest people, because some of this stuff they're claiming Obama, Hillary, Clapper, Rice, Kerry, Brennan, Loretta Lynch,

on all these others. If they're guilty, if they really did this, and it's treason. It's sedition, period. And I'm tired of hearing people talk about, well, treason, sedition, or rather, that Obama won't, can't be, legacy, not just legacy, but everybody say, well, and I'm tired of hearing it because it's not true, that Obama cannot be held accountable, cannot be arrested, or whatever for, for his actions when he was president, because he has immunity.

People, that's not true. the only thing immunity covers you when you're in performing in your official duties in your in your official capacity in that office if you are guilty of treason if you did seditious things if you're doing things outside the scope of what is the job and duties of the president of the united states and you and you're reaching into criminal activities you are not immune from those and by the way immunity just doesn't apply to the president it applies to every government worker that's performing in their, I have immunity as long as I operate within the color of law, as long as I'm operating within policy and procedure. If I violate policy and procedure, if I step outside the color of

law, if I say I walk up to somebody on the street and punch him in the mouth, I'm not immune from that. I just did something. That's battery. You see what I'm saying? It's the same thing with Brock Hussein Obama. If he, if he committed sedition and it's true, that is that is that is treason and treason is not covered under the immunity for anybody especially the president in the United States because he violated his oath of office when he swore to uphold the constitution and so that's just that's just yeah 100% so there are there is accountability that needs to be had I'm struggling with the fact that it's not it's not being delivered right so stop talking about it stop revealing this stuff to us

And because if I told you that didn't, it doesn't, I don't think about a lot. I'd be lying to you, you know, because the Epstein files, all that Epstein stuff, it's kind of just kind of floating away into the distance now. I'm hearing a little bit less of it every single day. And Trump made me mad one time because he was being interviewed because he ran on the policy of elect me and I'm going to be transparent and release the Epstein files. Yeah. And then he made a comment, oh, why are we still talking about that guy?

oh he's whatever he's he insulted him some way you know how trump is and and and then and then next thing you know all the because everybody thinks that that that that maga got i mean it was divided right there the american great amendment was divided at that comment because we care it wasn't about Epstein nobody cares about Epstein himself he's a dead man but the fact that he did these things that there are people out there he had he had client they're saying there's no client list bull crap there's no client list. There were little girls. There were adult females who are being trafficked.

Those people, those, they have victims, there's family members who are victims that those children belong to. They came from somewhere. They just, you know, didn't walk in Epstein's office. You know what I'm saying? They're picked up. They are trafficked. There's a client list.

And I'm telling you right now, everybody's saying, well, well, Epstein, or Trump was on their client list. he's not releasing it. Come on, man. Think about this. Think about what you're saying. If Trump was on the client list, don't you think the last eight years previous to his, you know, when Obama was president and when, when, especially when Biden was president. Oh. Think about it. Yeah. The kangaroo courts, the sham trials, all that stuff with Alvin Bragg and, and Fannie Willis. And, you know, all those, uh, Juan Merchant, uh, you know, the judge, all these, in the fake courts, they wouldn't.

through all that they went they they raised hell to bring trump down and if they had something as simple as just releasing that client list to show that you know that trump was on it it would have been instant instant right there oh yeah instant he would have lost and he would not have won because nobody wants a pedophile as president of the united states part of me wonders if i think i saw this on a on a post and it kind of goes both ways because it's like well you have this this mega division at that point, right? Where you have people who are just wholeheart and still going 100% gung-ho, this is our guy, this is our guy.

Oh, yeah. And then you have the deflection where it's like, wait a second, if he was tied into that, then how deep is this rabbit hole go? But there's this third part that's kind of somewhere in the middle where you got to think about how this guy acts and how he holds cards close to his chest. And the thing is, is if he has a client list, And it goes that deep.

At that point, if he has possession of that list, then he has power over that many powerful people. And at that point, if you release the list just to release it, then you lose that power, in essence, to a level of extremity where, you know, average people will start turning against whatever, you know, nations or or, or, you know, Disney or whatever it might be. But if you take that same list and you start using it to your advantage, then all of a sudden you're able to broker deals and get things, get people to do things that they need to either hold them accountable in other nations. You know, I think what might come as a result of this, keeping that list quiet is that we will see changes in other nations that are how. happening as a result of that list being used against them. Yeah. It makes any sense.

Yeah. Because I'm of the school that he was a CIA asset of some kind. Oh, I believe it. Yeah, 100%. And I believe that he was used as a control to keep government officials, whoever they may be, and maybe other world leaders in check. Yep. And to release these files would incriminate some very, very dangerous people.

Yep. So that's why Dan Bunsino said that he was scared from what he found. That's why... You know, Musk did too. Yes. Yes, Musk did too. Musk, he left, actually. He left from doing what he was doing.

And he said my work is done. I think I think he left because he was worried he he wrote he verbalized that he he he vocalized that he found stuff that could get him he used the words could get me um killed could get me you know pupewed uh unalived you know whatever the word was he used he said it specifically and so he was worried and so if these kind of persons are out there and and this information could be released it could cause bad problems, life problems, existence, mortality issues for the person releasing them, right, including Donald Trump and anybody else, Tulsi Gabbard, Pam Bondi, you know, all these

individuals who were at one point, because remember they had this, all these phases lined out that they were going to release information to us from the Epstein files, phase one, phase two, phase three. And they got, they went as far as releasing the phase one, which was a binder full of information which legacy already knew about like media everybody pretty much already knew everything that was in phase one binders everybody's waiting for phase two and it never happened next thing we know if there's a dead silence and then there's no list and and all of a sudden the video do you remember back in the day whenever this this was all breaking news and the videos there was no videos that day whenever whenever epstein uh quote unquote oh yeah yeah himself because all the cameras

went down at the same time. There's just a huge, you know, three cameras just glitched out all the same time. Didn't buy it. I still don't buy it. And now all of a sudden they have one magical camera with a minute missing. It's like, okay, where was this before? And then Dan Bongino is saying things like, well, we, we, we have the camera, the video footage.

We're going to release it. We're going to enhance it to show you to, so they acted like they're buying time for whatever reason. And then I haven't seen the new and improved video, but don't give to us a doctored video. You know what I'm saying? Nobody wants to see. We're tired of doctored evidence. We're tired of missing evidence. We just want the truth. We don't want a doctored, edited. We want to see the truth. And I understand there's people, there's victims that play here with all the I'm not interested in the victims. I'm interested in the people that are responsible here being held accountable.

that man is dead he's if he is dead um conspiracy you know maybe he's not i've heard that he's living somewhere else by more than one person if he's dead good riddance he was a great evil upon this earth but there's others that are just as evil as he was doing doing the same thing and those are the ones i want to be held accountable but it seems to me an arm of the mindset that something very very deep and dark is at play, and our CIA, our intelligence agencies, he was embedded with them, and he was being used as a control. I believe it, 100%. Now, and then, and then before I forget,

because everybody released pictures of Donald Trump, you know, with Epstein. Oh, look, he's on the Epstein list. Just because you take pictures of somebody, I told somebody, you know, I was arguing with the liberal ones. I said, I said, all rich and famous people rubbed shoulders at one point or another, and they take pictures together. That's just how it is. Rosalind Carter, you know, took pictures with with John Wayne Gacy.

That doesn't mean she's a serial killer, you know. Are we going to say she's a serial killer because she took pictures with a serial killer? No. And neither should somebody that has pictures with Epson be accused of trafficking humans. When I raise a brow to it, I would say, you know, I wouldn't want to go to a parties but it's my understanding and i again i don't know the all the details of it but at one point epstein was um asked to leave marlago and he was like ban and asked not to not to return um did trump get on the plane and fly over there well he's not on any of the flight logs you know so that not

that i've seen and and like i said if they existed o biden and obama both would have released them yeah you'd think that would have been that would have been all over splattered everywhere as soon as when they realize that oh people don't like this guy people don't like this content instead they just kind of buried it as fast as they possibly could just try and disappear

so that's kind of why I think that it's being used as a bargaining chip more than anything to be able to get some of these left wing or anybody that might have been involved in it even right wing you know it's all the same bird

it is and just get them to fall in line and vote the way that he wants them to vote or make the moves or pass the laws or just step aside so we can get shit done and that's where I think there might be some changes

coming up there. It will be a result of it. And after it's all said and done once we start seeing some of these deportations and the effects that they're having And, you know, some of the taxation, tariffs, social security type of stuff, getting a little bit of a boost. I think once we start saying the impacts of proper political movements, then I think the dark side of that is going to be good to come out.

And by then it won't matter. Nobody will care because we'll be in a good place. And that's the thing. It has to be felt in the pocketbooks of Americans because if they don't feel it, because it's not going to be reported. Pete Hick said donated $12.5 million of his own money as a result of all this. You know how Trump's coming down on the cleaning up DC of the holding homelessness or that? He donated $12.5 million of his own money to help house these people. Do you think legacy media covers that?

No. They don't cover how good, how good when they do, it's surprising. I should say, you know, they never do. Large percentage of the time they don't cover whenever, like, for example, the tariffs. They're really good. They're doing so well that Trump is actually considering getting rid of the federal tax. I mean, there's another side to that. We have yet to experience that.

But the manufacturing has to start coming back. I saw a thing on social media. I sent it to my buddy. It was a washer from Ace Hardware. It's 1899 for one lock washer. And I thought it was a joke. I thought it was some sort of weird, you know, online. you know,

ha ha, this is where we're going. But it's actually an ad at Ace Hardware for an 1899 lock washer. I couldn't believe it. But that can be seen as a result of tariffs on inbound merchandise and equipment

and taxes and shipping that's being charged to the end user. And we have yet to see that type of thing come back to the United States in that the manufacturing has to be here the steel has to be here you know the technology has to be built and developed here before we start because we're still very dependent on these other nations for cheap steel cheap car parts cheap this or that and those tariffs are starting to build back up and and we're starting to see the real price of things as they should have always been we're feeling to

hurt. But the only way to get out from under that is to really roll up our sleeves and show the world what we can do as a nation with manufacturing, construction, industry, technology, all these things. So that has to come full circle. And it hasn't quite yet. I think we still have some time before that. I mean, it might be another year or so. We're going to feel some pain. It's going to get expensive. I think I talked about wood. lumber a couple of episodes back, you know, and how that's going to be impacted. I think we're going to start seeing that

even more so. I don't know. I think we're on an upward swing. We'll put it that way, but there's still a lot of work to be done. Where was this bolt thing? Made in China? While you're looking at that, guys, if you go to is there O'Reilly's in

Washington? Oh, yeah. That's usually where I get on the comforts. Well, when you get done looking up what you're looking up, go to O'Reilly O'Reilly Auto.com, O'Reilly Auto.com, and in the search bar, put in flux capacitor. You know what the flux capacitor is from the... Yeah. It's actually a lot. Yeah, well, it's an Easter egg.

I mean, obviously, it's not a time travel device. But if you go there to O'Reilly Auto.com and put flux capacitor in the search bar, you actually, it'll come up a part with a part number. And it's a flex capacity. Yeah, it's really, really is. interesting working speed 88 maximum power 1.21 gigawatts material compatibility plutonium it's funny so this is a hillman 716th inch stainless steel split lock washer pack of one the part numbers uh 803 0672 for a ace hardware if you type that part number in you'll get that link and i swear to god it's not even fair yeah not even fair so i mean that's kind of the thing when it's like wait a second

it's just a regular steel lock washer and you know something guys when you're out there and you're saving that washer you're saving that nut you're saving that bolt or those weird parts and pieces and your wife is getting on your case because you're hanging on that kind of stuff just show her that just tell her luck there's a reason i do this because sometimes luckily we haven't had to experience, you know, what it means to wash tinfoil so that we can reuse it. We are a couple of generations removed from that, but if we're not careful, we're going to go right back into it. And I think there's, there's a lot to be said about being frugal and not wasting anything. So if you have usable parts, pieces, hardware, even that two foot two by

four that's hanging out in the back, there's a reason for it. I'm looking at this thing. You sent me it's this Hillman brand 716 thens yeah it's all these things I remember they were a dime a dozen I mean I still got gobs of these in my toolbox because there's I've always had some of spares you know you need one or two for a project and you go and you get several in a bag because they were dirt cheap and you throw them in your your whatnot you jar of whatnots you know nuts and bolts also so and now and now they're gold so I might start an eBay page actually and start making some of my money back that's why I hell it's 1899 plus like 899 chipping so by the time you're by the time you get that lock

washer in hand it's what 27 bucks or something like that 26 bucks not even fair let's take a quick brief right now well let's hear from from our friends over at lemma tangle survival we'll be right back on talk about the whole sidney sweetly bud light dillum of anything because uh there's been some updates we'll be right back here's my question to you are you really going to build that kit Look, it's 2025. It's time to get honest. Are you going to build out that get-home kit, that bug-out bag? Lima Tango Survival is the best value and the best quality, frankly, that I've ever seen in pre-made survival kits.

Lima Tango solves your preparedness problems, okay? Visit Limatango Survival.com and find the kit that solves your problem. All right. So Dylan Mulvaney, you remember back in 2000, was it, 2003, around April, 2023, for whatever reason, I don't know. This was a stupid PR move because everybody knows that your beer drinking,

your backroads guys, you know, your redneck hillbillies, your rural Americans, those, those are your beer drinkers, okay? Those are the ones that you don't want, you don't want your beer pimped out by a transsexual man who dresses like a woman and, uh, and who's, whose name is Dylan, right? Representing your beer, whose faces on your beer, when you're out with your buddies and you're holding a beer can up to your face, you don't want a transsexual guy on there. So they, Bud Light, if you remember right, conservative America, at least the beer drinking conservative America that was all over bud light at the time said no and they they said we're done

we're done with bud light what they call it whenever you uh it's not doxing whenever you boycotting thank you all the why i forgot such a simple word they're brainfront but uh yeah they boycott it so the conservative right boycotted bud light that's what you do that's that's capitalism people right this is capitalism that's how it works if you don't like a product you're unhappy with a product you stop buying the product. You don't go doxing people or revealing their identities and putting their information up online

and saying you're going to, you know, go here and slap their wife, you know, beat up their kids, burn their house down, tear down the city. You know, that's not how it's done. You stop buying the product. Okay. So the conservative rights stop buying Bud Light

and it tanked. It tanked. It's hard. Hard. In fact, In one year from May of that year until March, February of the next year, Bud Light only recuperated 1.2% of their loss. That's big.

That was a huge impact. Okay. So what they did was they dumped the idea, okay, our mistake. But Americans were like, no, you know, you're not getting off that easy. and so now it became because it became a thing and embarrassment to if at this point if you were holding a bud like hand with you know it's in front of somebody you're getting made fun of it became a stigma to even hold a bud light can and so now here we are you know a full two years later and two and a half years later and

American Eagle jeans, which I don't care that they're not made in the United States, that's the point I'm trying to make here is that they saw an opportunity here to do something non-woke. They hired an actress, a model by the name of Sidney Sweeney, okay, and they put her in an ad wearing her jeans. This is the ad, the American Eagle ad. I'm going to play it right here. It's like a 30-second clip.

I'm not here to tell you to buy American Eagle jeans. And I definitely won't say that they're the most comfortable jeans I've ever worn. Or that they make your butt look amazing. Why would I need to do that? But if you said that you want to buy the jeans, I'm not going to stop you. But just so we're clear, this is not me telling you to buy American Eagle jeans. Cindy's Twinney Hasbergh jeans. You see what I did there, right?

because the funny part about that was in the in the in the in the visual ad where it says Sydney swinging has great genes they they crossed out G E N-E-N-E-S and they wrote in J-E-A-N-S oh I thought I was just implied I didn't actually see the ad yes so it was it was purposeful there's purposeful and so and so to your loony left to right to your left is to your classic liberal they see that as a slight because now in their minds they're being insulted in fat fat shape what's that because they don't know the difference between an xx and x y that's why that's exactly right so so and that's an that's hypocrisy of the all of it all if you don't know the difference between an x and a y chromosome right why why does this genes come

and offend you right yeah uh wow and so they're losing their marbles over on the left left. They're losing it. Here's the funny part is this ad comes out and people who never heard of American Eagle jeans are going and buying their jeans. I know somebody, you know, well, I saw somebody online. I don't know them. That bought five or six pair just because, you know, and many people are doing that. And they're going to their, I went to their YouTube page and I gave it a like and a follow, you know, and I'm just one of many. People go and they, that's how that's how you build and and you do you think that's capitalism and how it works okay you have to appeal to your base because how many how many how many how many people you know

do you think as far as transsexual men goes or or they call it i can't i lose all the terms that the left uses anymore the lbg btq elemental p people the alphabet tribe uh they who who Who of them do you think wear those kind of jeans? You know what I'm saying? Because they dress in vaginas. They dress up like vaginas. You know what I'm saying? They're not exactly appealing to the fringe left, which is 4% maybe, right?

Yeah. They're appealing to the broader set of Americans. That's pretty much fed up with it all. That's fed up with it all. I think that's where money is going to be made in the next couple of years. the people who are able to come out with cutting edge so to speak but like hey look let's get back to humor

and let's get back to maybe a little bit of vulgarity or something because we're done in being a victim of everyone else's offended hurt feelings and I think that's a it's a pendulum swing when we've gone from like back in the 80s, and 90s where you could say all kinds of stuff and nobody would I mean people would get offended but it's like

whatever people were laughing still then now we go to the late 90s early 2000s 2010s and all of a sudden you couldn't even couldn't even miss gender someone or tell them you know use the wrong pronouns or something and I think that pendulum is starting to swing back I think it's going to come back in a great way it's going to be awesome it does across the Across the board, of course you're going to be your legacy media, your, your, your, your, your, your, your fringe left and, and everybody that represents, everybody in D.C. that represents the fringe ends, that's a tongue twasher, fringe end, because they, they will always be there to make sure that people like Sidney Sweeney is ridiculed because they feel that she's, um, fat shaming or whatever the case may be, you know, so they're always going to be there doing what they do. But like you're saying with broad strokes, you know, the American people,

are, they never bought into that to begin with. But people are fed up with it. And I saw when I was reading up on some of the articles here for, on Sidney Sweeney and this, the Bud Light thing. And I thought it was interesting that whenever legacy media was like, I'm talking about like New York Post and some other, some other like that that's talking about Dylan Muvaney, instead of saying he, him, it's she, her in their, in their,

in their in their in their uh their coverage of the news let's not be mistaken here dylan is a is a man that dresses as a female and it's not our responsibility to make sure that that his fairy tale is lived out right you can't make me believe or make me say that you are a female because you dress as a female because you think you're a female doesn't make you a female that's not the reality here however the left is like oh that it works on us and they make they do the reporting and call dylan as she and her and it's just you read these you know i'm screaming in my head as i read this she her you know i'm like it's it's a man you can clearly see that this is a man um no matter how feminine he asked but the story does not end there um it's it's it's even

cooler because sydney you know has is set to make and i hope this works out because i want to see how it goes down. It's set to make a $10 million deal if she signs on with the one and only Bud Light. Wow. Can you imagine? I mean, that is kind of a, that's an interesting avenue for Bud Light to take. Be like, okay, we messed up. I know they tried some stuff around 4th of July and Super Bowl. I think they tried to do some things there too. Yeah, as I remember. I mean, there's nothing quite like good old-fashioned sex appeal when it comes to the things that men are interested in. Beer and tools and cars, trucks, you know, that kind of stuff. So when you go, it doesn't surprise me, but I think what surprises me is that they're trying to jump on something.

It's like they're clamoring instead of, because I don't think they've ever really pulled back to try and fix it. You know, and I think that there might be, there's some, I don't know, we'll see if it works. I just, I thought it was interesting because American Eagle jeans took a 25% increase in sales with this whole thing. And it was just because of the ad. It was because of the response to the ad. Yeah. That's what's funny here is the left does it, they do themselves in. They cannibalize themselves.

If they would just shut up, this would not have been a thing. But now American Eagle jeans has, has taken a 25% increase in their sales. because of their response to Sidney's, to the ad that she has great genes. So if that was to hold true, and I don't know if Bud Light could, because it's already got a stigma because of the whole Dillon Mulvaney thing, but if they could take a 25% increase in sales and kind of follow what happened there with, I think could be even greater maybe because for two reasons. One, more people know what Bud Light is than American Eagle.

jeans, all right? Yeah. More people drink Bud Light than wear American Eagle jeans. So the increase, the per capita, we'll call it, would be, would be greater. If it holds true, it'd be greater than 25% because of the immensity of the people that drink that kind of alcohol. But two, people want to show that when you do what is right, you will be rewarded. When you do what is wrong, you will be boycotted.

I can see that. That's what I want to say happen. Yeah, I think, you know, from that standpoint, I think that would actually make a lot of sense. And that would be something that would be worth seeing through. You're like, hey, look, it's not about racism. She's, you know, she's an attractive woman. And I don't know how she's pretty young.

But, I mean, you can't really deny that. I mean, Cindy Crawford was attractive. And she was a Coke spokeswoman for the 80s and 90s. I was doing a little bit of research like that. I saw a lot of the, because they used, who was the supermodel, the blonde-headed girl, she made a soda ad. Her name is escaping me for whatever reason, but she was 15 years old when she made this. I mean, she became a huge supermodel, okay, and it wasn't a problem back then.

And if they were playing that commercial now, there'd be a high-speed come apart probably because the left would think that we're sexualizing, you know, this has been, I don't, it's not saying I agree with sexualizing anything, but my point is being, If you don't like it, don't buy the product. If you like it, buy the product. That's how capitalism works. You don't go and destroy someone's home or ruin someone's life, essentially. Right.

You don't attack the property or the person because they disagree with you. You don't buy their product. It's as simple as that. And that's exactly what tanked by light. And I think Black Rifle Coffee had the same issues with some of their products when they made certain stances. and made certain comments about, I think it was, or something, you know, they were just, or, you know, and that's, it just goes to show that the silent majority, so to speak, speaks with their wallet. It's like some people are on, are of the thought that, hey, look, if we all stop paying taxes now, they can't come get us all. Well, that might not necessarily be the case, but when it comes to a product, if there's enough up,

roar about it, about the stupidity of something, you know, advertising or otherwise, it's just going to fade away. And people aren't going to want to buy it anymore. That's just the way it looks plain capitalism. You know, like you were saying. So, yeah. That's how I wanted to work with Bud Light. I want to see, I think Bud Light has, we proved our point, right? Now that they've done something positive. Now that they've taken, you know, taken the opposite and is rewarding, we'll say it a mascot, a face of the brand instead of something that is opposite of the brand and running with that, you know, creating the public, the public relations nightmare that they did. Let's reward but light. Say, here you go. This is what happens when you do what's right. And when people

see the success in doing what is right, maybe the other companies will say, you know, no, no, no, no, know. This is a bad idea. We're not going to run, you know, a trans female or whatever the case may be as a spokesperson for this brand because we saw what happened to Bud Light. But instead, this is our core audience. Let's do what American Eagle jeans did because they saw 25% increase in sales. Let's do that. And that's what I'm hoping happens with Bud Light. So I'm rooting for Bud Light on this one, you know, because I wasn't rooting for them before, but if they've seen the light, so to speak, I'm going to root for that. And I think it would be interesting to see if how that does play out.

It makes me wonder if the other side of that, like if companies are, if they're just, they think their consumers are so gullible that they'll fall for that, you know, because if it's like, oh, well, this is what you want and this is what will give you, but if this is what you don't want and we stand behind it, we're going to try it and see what happens. Yeah. We're just going to flip-flop on our brand back and forth until we find them. right response, I guess.

They need to find what America wants and not what America doesn't want because apparently America doesn't want a gay, a gay man dressed up in, you know, and drag on their beer cans. That's a, that is a fact. Yes. Backed by millions and millions of dollars. Yep. That is a fact. All right, my man, we're going to call it quits right there.

We're coming up on an hour. So good to hear from you again. And I know that we, we haven't talked to each other in three or four weeks, but. Just so everybody knows, I mean, because they've been on the other side. The listeners have been, we were not around for one week to the listeners because we had some like three episodes that were delayed going up. And so that's why me and you didn't record the, you know, last week we had something going on three weeks prior to that, two weeks prior to that, whatever it was.

We were still, we had some video or some audio that we needed to get up. We got those up. So we're back on track now, just to be clear. I say that we haven't chatted in three weeks. Me and you, we have not. Yeah. But it doesn't seem like that to the listeners. For them, we were gone two or three weeks, and then we've been around for three weeks,

minus last week. But all that being said, good talk to you again, man. Anything going on your way? No, well, I got to, like I said, I got to get back to my compost. I got to go outside right now, take advantage of the decent weather and get some wood in the wood chipper. You do that. I finished working on my, remember I had my, my EMP, Ashes of the order book, book one released. I finished book two.

Book two is John's War. I've got that released, EMP Book 2, John's War. That is with my beta readers. I've even revealed the cover on my social media. So if you are able to find me on my social media, go there and check that out and my new cover. So that's kind of cool. Um, for those of you that don't know, the guy in book one, uh, after at the EMP, you know, he, he, he had to fight his way. He was able to, to keep, keep things together, his family's, uh, together. And, uh, he had a, his character arc was kind of over was kind of a long character arc where he had to learn that mercy is suicide kind of a thing, you know, that the old way, that the new way of doing things will, will get you killed. Um, the character in my new book is arc is quite, opposite um because he loses everything up front and uh so i mean that's on the on the back of the book

on the blurb so um i'm not revealing any spoilers there a long story short he lose everything up front so his arc he has to learn that uh not that mercy of suicide because that's his new thing i've started that you know everybody it's scorched earth for him instead he has to learn about mercy and forgiveness you know and that kind of a thing and to try to find himself again because he gets lost in his revenge spree so um that's where i'm out on that and then i'm already since my beta readers have book two i'm already several thousand words into book three which i'm super excited about so um what i'm planning on doing is uh is writing uh three book sets in the series here and i'll kind of switch gears a little bit because i'm i've got three timelines that are

that are converging you know the character book one is k the character book two is john i'll let the the reader's guess who the character book three is going to be, but their stories are converging in each individual book. So each individual book is the first one's Kay, the second one is John. The third one will be the unspecified character. And they all converge in these books together. And then from there,

I think I'm going to change the title up a little bit. So it'll be the Ashes of Order. Book four will be something different where the three members, the three people are together as a team. And move forward from there. Kind of excited about it. I've created a big complex world, actually. And so it's all very exciting.

All that being said, I want to thank you everybody for listening to the Rising Republic. I'm Mel Douglas Hogan. I'm Ryan Bufor. Thanks for joining us, everybody. You all take care. God bless.
