[00:00:17] I'm your host Phil Rabbley and my co-host Andrew Bobo is on the other side of the mic and here's your show. Welcome back to the Matterfacts Podcast. Andrew and I are both a little bit bleary-eyed.

[00:00:26] We're both sucking down coffee praying for the gods of caffeine to start doing their jobs. I'm drinking disaster coffee and I hope he is too. And we're going to talk to y'all on this beautiful, what the hell is it?

[00:00:36] Thursday morning, I think at 10 o'clock in my time zone. Yeah, Thursday. Yeah, so if I seem a little bit off kilter is because I literally got home yesterday on the back of a four day work trip and then a four day vacation. We left Jesus five day vacation.

[00:00:59] So I barely know what time zone I'm in much less what day it is. But it was a great trip. It was just, you know, it was like it was a whirlwind coming straight off of a work trip and then having to turn around and do that again.

[00:01:14] But five days at the beach, drink too much, smoke too many cigars. It's good times. Yeah, I mean my end nothing really just working and can't really talk about it right now. But Phil and I got some cool stuff happening in the background.

[00:01:37] And yeah, just kind of working on a new website for that. So let's we'll just keep it right there. But hopefully we can talk about it soon. Well, I mean, we you and I have a couple of irons in the fire with

[00:01:51] things that are happening that are kind of related to the podcast but kind of not. So yeah, no it's interesting. But the couple of things I do need to mention are, you know, because I'm trying to be better about thanking the patrons for supporting the show.

[00:02:07] I'm going to try. I don't know if it's going to be in every show kind of thing because it gets a little old but I'm going to try to be better about thanking y'all for that. And for the recent people that have recently joined us as patrons,

[00:02:18] welcome to the Nut House. I hope you enjoy your padded cell as much as we do. Insofar as sorry really quick, I'm I just added a new Patreon to the group to the group chat. So Leonard, if you hear this, pick up your phone, join the group.

[00:02:37] On the other hand, our merch line of which this is his this is his a shirt that should be somewhat familiar to a few people. We were running this back when we were using a teespring or something very similar to this.

[00:02:52] So the Southern Gals is responsible for making and distributing our merch. I have to admit, I'm kind of taken with the quality of the merch. I mean, the screen printing is awesome. They use a very nice t-shirt, which was something I was kind of pushy about when

[00:03:07] we first got into bed together was under no circumstances do I want like cheap paper thin scratchy Chinese shirts. Just pick something that feels nice to wear because if I don't want to wear it, I don't want to sell it either.

[00:03:22] And they've been very good about knocking that out of the park. In the very near future, we're going to be adding some new designs for the matter effects podcast to that merch catalog. Gillian actually sent a whole bunch of designs to them for raising values

[00:03:38] podcast recently that I personally think are going to be really fun. It's inventive and it's cute and it's fun and it's cheeky and it has it shows kind of her humor, which I think that's what the merch should do. Yeah.

[00:03:53] And I was looking at some of the designs and I really like her like her designs are really cool. Like I really I really like the what she came up with. So so yeah, no, I bit the bullet and I bought a subscription to the Adobe suite.

[00:04:09] So it's got Photoshop and all that stuff. So so I can get back into I need to start sitting down and getting back to doing some drawing and designing and stuff like that for us.

[00:04:19] So yeah, but yeah, well, let let what get let what you saw Gillian put together be inspiration because like I need to we need to do some brainstorming on like what exactly like communicates what the podcast is about other than drunken hooliganism and irreverence for authority.

[00:04:40] I mean it might be a good place to start, but you know, I just want to bring our sense of humor and our our thing into the merch line so that it's more than just a logo and you know, quick catch little phrase.

[00:04:53] Maybe tactical clam will have to come to life. Tactical clam. Yeah. I was thinking tactical possum, but you know that too. You and I will discuss. Also, Operation Skywalker is still running. So for those who would like to give Kirk Kirk.

[00:05:13] So yeah, so basically drawn a blank on his last name that I've already butchered once Colic just let's just stick with Kirk. Let's stick with Kirk. Yeah, no, it's so yeah, no give send go.

[00:05:30] So Trek and the the crew were MBFI and everything they got a give send go for Kirk and Jill. And basically if you guys do not know the the story, I mean he was a coach for hockey and high school boxing. He's survived cancer multiple times.

[00:05:52] I mean he's a big, he's a respected member of the community. But he after grocery shopping one day him and his wife were getting groceries out of the truck into the house and he was confronted by three individuals ended up having to pull

[00:06:09] his gun after being hit on the back of the head with basically like a wine bottle in a bag or something pretty something heavy. I believe it was a wine bottle in a bag, but basically hit over the head

[00:06:20] and as he was being kicked down the ground, he pulled his pistol fired shot and killed one of the individuals. He was jailed for I think it was 100 was 106 days. It was a lot. I want to say But it was just crazy.

[00:06:37] He basically long story short go back to the episode if Phil can remember to link the episode in the comments. But go back as only a handful ago and it I mean basically he was tortured

[00:06:52] in jail by the by the staff that it was crazy the crap that he endured. Uh and the prosecution I mean it was it's basically it's from the bottom up from the

[00:07:07] deputy that was on scene that was trying to take over uh to the prosecutor or the judge everything it was uh it was all I mean it's corruption uh at the highest level and honestly

[00:07:18] it's people that say that they are uh it's people that say that they want to fight for the constitution but obviously they did not care about the constitution at all

[00:07:32] uh with Kirk so uh head over it's called Operation Skywalker so uh we'll have a link in the description but it's give send go dot com slash Operation Skywalker so if you can give a dollar five

[00:07:47] dollars ten dollars a hundred dollars I don't care what you give just try to give uh something back uh because this guy's life was torn apart and this money is going to him and his wife to try to

[00:08:01] get them under their feet like get them back on their feet rather uh to kind of get them moving in the right direction again because they had to sell a lot of stuff uh to in order to make uh

[00:08:13] to make basically the payments for the uh for his lawyers and all that stuff and you know everything so um so please go over there and give uh we'll have the uh this the link in the description

[00:08:28] yeah I mean this that that is really one of those situations where like you know any any reasonable person who believes in the values that we preach on this show any reasonable person that believes that you have a right to protect your family you have a right

[00:08:42] to protect your life you have a right to use deadly force if someone's trying to end you would look at the situation that Kirk described and say good shoot why did this have to go to trial

[00:08:52] why did this have to why did this take lawyers to figure out when it's three on one he's on his back getting his head caved in but that's I hate to say that's the world we live in where

[00:09:05] prosecutors are more worried about numbers and about convictions than they are about justice police are not across the board when in this case certainly incompetent and malicious and the goal was never justice the goal was always to make Kirk submit to make him give up

[00:09:26] and he didn't and god bless him for that but you're right like him and his entire family have paid a hell of a price monetarily and I'm sure there's sanity to see him not be in jail for

[00:09:37] the rest of his life and it's just it's it's sad it should never come to this and I just personally wish like gonorrhea on everybody involved in the situation as malicious as that sounds I don't

[00:09:49] feel bad about that on a happier note so I've been working on a little project in the background that I've kind of talked about here and there I actually talked about the man pack

[00:10:02] the GMRs man pack that I was building in a YouTube video that I released not too long ago I owe a much lengthier more in depth you know like look at how that thing is assembled why it was

[00:10:15] assembled the way it was decisions that were made and so on so forth but I've been kind of holding my peace on it because I was waiting for a part to come in and that part finally arrived

[00:10:27] and it is kind of like the last ingredient in the secret soup that is this man pack build and it is a Argent data systems SR 1 simplex repeater controller so when I set out to build this man

[00:10:41] pack I always had a couple of ideas in mind of like you know the target I was aiming for what I was trying to get this thing to do and one of those things was this was not meant to be

[00:10:53] a man pack in the more traditional terms you know terms like a radio you put in your pack and you march five miles out into the woods it wasn't meant for that it's far heavier and far larger than that is

[00:11:06] then would be my target for that use case it was really meant to be more of a field deployable base station so I knew I wanted things like lots and lots of power at least up to what GMRs

[00:11:19] will allow which is 50 watts I knew I wanted a fairly healthy size batteries 20 amp hours could have gone a little bigger but you start running into what you can actually fit into a pack if you

[00:11:30] go any bigger than that I knew I wanted I knew that with all the requirements I was laying down I was really looking at a single GMRS radio and that wound to be in the wuxen kg 1000 g plus

[00:11:45] because on top of everything else that I was really looking for it's a super heterodyne radio which means it's two radios in one chassis it's two separate volume knobs it is two complete

[00:11:56] radios you know in a box and on top of that on the backside of it it even has two two and a half millimeter audio outs one for each radio so if you wanted to be creative you could get a pair

[00:12:09] of like single court earbuds plug into this thing on the backside put one in each year and you get one channel from each side of the radio into each year completely separated it just it it opened up

[00:12:23] a lot of possibilities to give me the control to be able to implement something I was curious if I could do which was to take this manpack repeat this manpack radio build with the spider beam 17 foot

[00:12:37] fiberglass mask that I recently got using an n9 tags roll up j pole and be able to turn all this mess all this radio nerd nonsense into a field deployable short range repeater and that's what the sr1 allows me to do I worked with one of our patron

[00:12:57] steward who helped me build a patch cable between the sr1 and the radio going into the mic port got home yesterday tested all out had the things singing within a couple of minutes so

[00:13:11] I just played around with it here in my office like literally put the radio on one side of the office and me on the other side I'm getting tons of interference because I got a Wi-Fi router

[00:13:20] right here that's not happy with the fact I'm shooting you know RF frequency all over the place so that's going to bear a more of a test like outside where there's less

[00:13:31] emf running around or um EMI but so far I was able to get that repeat that simplex repeater to work as it's originally intended which is on one simplex channel but here's where I I've been

[00:13:46] wondering if I could get it to work right and I managed to I've been thinking that because I'm messing with a super hetero dine radio and one that has the amount of customization it has

[00:13:59] if I could make this thing behave like a full duplex repeater because again it's two radios in one chassis so what I managed to do is put half the radio into frequency mode put it on 467.550 which

[00:14:14] is the repeater input channel in GMRS and then I flip the other side of the radio to GMRS 15 which is 462.550 so it's now live the radio is now listening to both sides of repeater 15 and then by manipulating the volume knobs I was able to make it to where

[00:14:37] the volume was all the way down on GMRS 15 on the transmitting channel so it doesn't listen to that channel anymore turn the volume up on 467.550 so it only listens to that and now what I've got is I've got that simplex repeater only listening to the repeater input

[00:14:54] frequency and only transmitting on the repeater output frequency so to the user it just behaves just like a duplex repeater the only difference is that the person who transmitted the message

[00:15:06] originally is going to hear it repeated back to them but everybody else will only hear it one time and we're going to have that set up stood up at prepper camp so if there's anybody

[00:15:17] I don't know frequency yet I got to do some looking into on what frequencies are not going to piss off the locals and try to be a good neighbor but for anybody who's going to be at prepper camp and

[00:15:28] has GMRS radio I will I should have this thing stood up and it'll be available if anybody wants to play around with it see how it works stop by the booth and I'll show you how it's

[00:15:38] built I mean it'd be a cool little piece and for the for the person who says I've got a mag I've got a group you know we've got we've got people that are say five miles from tip to tip we need

[00:15:51] more coverage and everybody's got hand held this might be something you can stand up in the center of your group and have that five miles of coverage a 40 foot well that was insane it's not it wasn't

[00:16:04] terribly expensive either I mean you don't have to do it right now but I mean just try to get like if you had like the build list and then the prices and stuff that would

[00:16:14] for the listeners and then even at the show I can tell you comfortably off the top of my head this was well under a thousand dollars put all this together well under off the top of my head probably

[00:16:25] the most expensive part of this whole thing honestly was the radio and that was 400 bucks shipped yeah and again like when I built this thing I built it I wouldn't say I used like top shelf

[00:16:38] components but nothing I nothing I purchased for this build was like cost cutting measures you know I'm saying it was this is the best tool for the job this is what I'm going to use but if you wanted

[00:16:50] to build something similar but you were willing to sacrifice some capabilities you could do this for half the price but what I would what I would happily say is that with that 40 foot mast

[00:17:02] line of sight math says that if we're on a perfectly flat area then you should have about a 16 mile diameter coverage area from the center point of the mast so about eight miles in any

[00:17:16] direction which is a phenomenal increase over what you can get if you just handheld to handheld which that is going to be about three or four miles yeah no it's uh interesting to see it'll be

[00:17:28] interesting to see how it works at proper camp especially if we can have a radio at our camp a base radio there and then we can that way we can talk back and forth because I don't know how many

[00:17:39] times like the last few years basically you try to get a hold of somebody and you can't get a hold of them because because the network is so busy lack of signal or something there was always

[00:17:52] something and you know maybe a text would go through but it will you know it wasn't always the best so I'll be curious to see and play with it so yeah I mean that's really just going to come

[00:18:00] down to like is anyone is anyone that's going to prep or game going to heed my my my my request and like go get a gmrs license and get a gmrs radio I mean they're personally I and I know that there's

[00:18:16] like diehard ham guys out there guys with technician class licenses they're gonna turn their nose of gmrs but you know it's like I keep telling everybody my my reason for getting into gmrs was

[00:18:27] very simply because there are people in my that are in my group by default like my wife and daughter if I don't if I have a if I have a plan that doesn't count for those two it's not a plan

[00:18:38] and they are not going to get a ham license it's not going to happen right but I can get a gmrs license and it covers my wife my daughter my in-laws my brothers and sisters my parents my

[00:18:50] cousins my dog my cat it probably covers the weird neighbor who lives three houses down if you look at the list I mean it's basically a family license at that point and that low barrier entry makes it

[00:19:03] really really useful in my opinion you know you're going to give up some capabilities you have with ham but what you give up into capabilities you get tremendous ease of use for the lay person

[00:19:16] so while I am very happy to be a radio nerd I have to communicate people who are not radio nerds and being able to throw more radio and say go to channel three just makes the process work

[00:19:28] yeah no I agree and if you are that ham person there's almost nothing I've done here that you couldn't do with a comparable like UHF or VHF ham radio just really really all this applies all

[00:19:42] you gotta do is swap the radio out and everything else pretty much bolts on and all the principles work exactly the same so if what I'm building if you're the ham person then what I'm building

[00:19:54] also applies to you you're just using different frequency bands but we'll see if anybody else gets ham rate gets a GMRs radius for prepper camp I know that my wife and daughter will have them on hand

[00:20:07] so and it'll be good to give it a give it a good stretch see what it does yeah yeah it would be so but yeah um some other news uh if anybody hasn't been following the news I

[00:20:24] figure we're kind of obligated to touch on it uh but the the election but before we do what can I just say that it was like so like right before I go on my work trip somebody takes a shot at Trump

[00:20:39] I get back from my work trip and right about the time you know Uncle Joe starts there starts me rumors that Uncle Joe is about to drop out of the presidential race and then while I'm there you knuckleheads in the Matter Effects Patreon group were blowing

[00:20:58] my phone up while I was on the beach drinking you know bourbon and coke and smoking cigars talking about what Andrew's about to bring up no I mean so yeah so if you haven't uh if you've

[00:21:12] had your head under a rock uh so yeah basically uh creepy Joe uh he no longer will be sniffing children well I mean he's still my he will still be sniffing children yeah but uh he

[00:21:25] so he dropped out of the race uh he after the the disastrous uh debate uh well I mean what was funny is what cracks me up is the fact that leading up to the debate with Trump uh I mean he was

[00:21:42] cognitively there was nothing wrong there was he was you know he's the best candidate that the DNC could have uh he's gonna stomp all over Trump you're talking about the media narrative

[00:21:53] right not reality yes okay oh yeah because because the JB that I saw in that debate stage was the same JB we've had in the office for three years oh no I know that but I'm saying

[00:22:02] nobody except those who said pay attention no leading up to leading up to it so after the debate even the media and I mean they the Democrats the left I mean everybody they kind of started eating them alive uh basically and saying you know calling for him

[00:22:19] to step down calling like I mean they're a full panic mode so fast forward to what a week or so ago and he was like yeah stepping down and I mean it would and it will honestly like it's honestly

[00:22:33] interesting because I have I have seen a couple of political people uh some talking heads and stuff actually call this a low key basically call it like a coup uh just because he without

[00:22:46] without really talking about it without really saying much he kind of is just like all right peace out I'm stepping down uh I am no longer in the race I'm not seeking reelection all this stuff and

[00:23:00] so now you have Kamala out there uh who supposedly has gotten enough of the votes basically I think you know basically stolen enough of the votes uh because they never I mean because that's the thing though is they never you never heard anything else about

[00:23:16] any other uh person they just were like all right we're shifting from Biden to Kamala is how it worked you never heard about any other candidates they never gave anybody

[00:23:26] else a chance to even say hey I want to do this uh it was almost like it almost reminds me of like another Bernie Bernie Sanders moment when you know they're like hey we got this guy who's

[00:23:37] actually doing really really well but we're gonna shift everything over to uh Killary and and call it good uh and so there are a million parallels there yeah and so what's interesting

[00:23:49] is yeah they basically are like hey you know hey this is what's going on now and so now what's funny is the same people who a month or so ago say they're the same the same people who

[00:24:00] are saying Joe Biden there's nothing wrong with him cognitively he's fine health wise he's you know healthier than Trump and all this other stuff no matter what we've seen they're the same

[00:24:11] people that are now saying hey he's in decline there's not you know it's not looking good uh and now Kamala is the best thing since sliced bread like they're pushing that that narrative so

[00:24:25] so I don't know I got a couple theories uh on it um I'll get your thoughts on it but uh yeah it's it's just interesting it's crazy the political landscape that we've been in I mean the it's

[00:24:38] basically the political landscape that we've been in for the last uh I mean I don't even know like two or three election cycles uh it's been just insane uh and so now seeing this I mean what's

[00:24:52] crazy is we see this like we'll see this in a different country and we're like aw crap it's not going to turn out good and now you see this in our country and you're like it's not going to

[00:25:02] turn out good and everybody's like oh no it's fine you know it's like basically it's it's almost like a boat with a massive hole on the side of it and they're like they're they're the buckets in the

[00:25:11] mainstream media are taking buckets and they're trying to like shovel the water out into the ocean and it's just coming back like it's flooding back in like it's not it's slowly sinking

[00:25:21] that's what I see it do you know this is like this is like standing on the front rail of the titanic pointing at the iceberg while the while the captain tells you oh no there's no

[00:25:30] iceberg out there we're fine and you're looking at the iceberg approaching the boat or the boat approaching the iceberg as it would be that is exactly what this is like I mean call it what it is

[00:25:41] if if the United States watch this go on in any other country the CIA would be deployed to overthrow their government yeah I mean it's just it is absolute it's absolute insanity we're we are watching

[00:26:01] regardless of how I feel about a candidate I I'm a libertarian at heart so I try very very hard not to succumb to like my black pill black flag you know anarchists cravings and I try to say no

[00:26:15] no no we need a little bit of society we need a little bit of government to keep this whole thing in check and I want to believe the process still works so if the vote if the voters get together

[00:26:29] in the primary and say that's our man then that's the man that runs for that party or woman and if the party then says we hurt you but we don't really think that's going to work for us and then

[00:26:43] they install somebody else like they did to hit like they did to Bernie Sanders all this years go like they're doing to Joe Biden right now because I'm not prepared to accept or believe that he is

[00:26:57] stepping down completely with his own volition I don't think he was in the White House of his own volition of the first place I think he's basically impromptu by Adderall and cocaine to be able to stand up in front of the people and mumble through enough things

[00:27:11] that his handlers can keep him going in the right direction I think the bureaucratic state is running the country and I think the bureaucratic state's gonna run the country if we have Kamala

[00:27:20] or anybody else because the party is what's in charge the person they put up via this corrupted primary is only there to maintain the illusion of choice this is like Wizard of Oz all over again

[00:27:35] you know the great and powerful eyes and then it's this little old man behind the curtain and that's what we're dealing with here so I'm gonna repeat something I said years ago and if

[00:27:46] anybody remembers you know let's go through the wayback machine to when Phil said this when it was Obama in office Obama's not the problem Joe Biden is not the problem Kamala Harris is not

[00:27:57] the problem Hillary Clinton's not the problem they are symptoms of a problem and the problem is that the parties are running the country not the president the president serves at the pleasure of the party not of the people and therefore their loyalty is to the party and

[00:28:17] not the people and the party's loyalty is available to the highest bidder it's far on one side and military industrial complex on the other side y'all I don't make the rules I just stay how this works so the only part of this whole situation that is either surprising

[00:28:34] or frustrated depending on the mood I'm in it's not the fact that they did this this is that is not surprising to me they were more than happy to have old Joe stand up there and mumbled through

[00:28:46] some shit as long as the media could run cover for him but when it happened on the debate stage they couldn't hide it anymore so they had to get rid of him to maintain the illusion

[00:28:56] and whether it's Kamala or anybody else it's still maintaining the illusion the part that I'm particularly troubled by is watching the reddit crowd and the everyday democrat suddenly changed suddenly changed their stripes and talking about how great of a candidate Kamala is

[00:29:13] when she couldn't win a single freaking delegate when she was running against Joe Biden in the first place when she is almost universally accepted to be a completely unlikable person when she tries to run on a platform of being worried about minorities but she said more

[00:29:28] freaking african-american men to jail than any DA before her for stupid stuff for freaking nonviolent marijuana crimes I'm curious to see how I know california will probably state I mean it'll stay blue but I'm really curious to see the backlash from people you know from california

[00:29:48] there won't be about it but I will prognosticate that you and I can have a side bet there will not be any because dissent is not dissent to the party is not tolerated at this point

[00:30:01] dissent is not tolerated you are not allowed to break ranks with the dnc or you're a fascist you're you're you're you're for you know the trump hitler and all that are nonsense they say there is no the polarization the bifurcation of people in this country via political lines

[00:30:19] is complete there is no middle ground anymore there's a lot of people that want to be in the middle but they're not gonna be allowed to be in the middle mark my words because again I am the person

[00:30:32] who over the years I've pissed off my republican friends as much as I have my democrat friends because my positions to them seem to shift and I'm like no they don't they follow principles

[00:30:42] I don't care what the party says I care what I say and what I believe and if my belief puts me on this side of the line I'm on that side and if I'm on this side I'm on this side but the party

[00:30:53] and the talking heads are not allowing that degree of you know principle dissent any longer so yeah I think you're what you're gonna see bud is a whole bunch of people who are going to scream and yell

[00:31:05] about how she's the best thing since sliced bread even if they've got cousins doing time on the back of her because the party will not tolerate dissent you cannot say anything against Kamala right

[00:31:18] now or you're for Trump and if I'm wrong I'll I'll I'll leave that with a spoon but I just don't see it happening yeah no it's uh it's it's interesting I mean it's gonna be definitely leading up to

[00:31:31] the election here within I mean and what's crazy is the shift this close to the election I mean we're only a few months away and the idea that everything is shifted and so yeah I don't know it's

[00:31:46] it's gonna be interesting to see and I apparently there's apparently there's been multiple calls for a because the left is scrambling to make up some ground from the disaster that Biden was

[00:32:00] and also the disaster that Kamala is but they're trying to save face and so they're pushing for they want to do more debates and all kinds of stuff and that that's the thing is I mean if she

[00:32:12] explains anything during the debate as well as she explains space and time and how the universe works and all kinds of stuff I mean then I think it'll be a disaster just as much but uh but yeah we'll

[00:32:26] see but but here's the thing but the DNC is not depending on 81 million people to like Kamala Harris they're depending on 81 million people to be told by the media that Trump is Hitler

[00:32:39] yeah which is uh I mean which is funny because if you look at the definition of fascists I don't think people understand what the definition of fascist is anymore so people don't understand

[00:32:51] what words mean anymore man right but um no but I mean I have a theory on what's going on and I kind of I mean and honestly it it's I don't know we'll see but my theory is basically Kamala

[00:33:06] is a throwaway candidate uh this they they just need somebody a name on the ballot uh they don't want to waste anybody like they don't want to waste any up and comers or anything like that

[00:33:16] so they're hurt they basically said okay cool you're it good luck uh made the force be with you kind of thing and uh so they're putting her name on the ballot uh because they know that they

[00:33:29] can't win against Trump this year uh and the idea and because the thing is though is um the last election the the fraud was so blatantly obvious that uh I don't think I honestly I think that you

[00:33:45] might not see a lot of it this year like they're gonna say okay because they're gonna basically my idea is Trump is gonna win uh because they're gonna say okay we'll let Trump in if we can keep

[00:33:55] if we can keep the Senate in the House blue that basically stonewalls him uh for his presidency and it's good to go uh they'll they'll try to do some other bull crap stuff but uh basically

[00:34:09] stonewall him for his entire presidency so he gets nothing passed you know the he becomes basically that lame duck president that everybody laughs at but then it's his second technically I mean it's a second term so it's a second term Trump is out and then the basically Republicans

[00:34:27] they really don't you know it's where are they gonna go uh and so get Trump out of there okay he's gone his voice no longer matters really and uh it's it now they can rebuild over the next

[00:34:40] you know four years they can rebuild uh the the DNC can and they can actually start pushing a start grooming another candidate over the next couple years to get them ready for the next election so so yeah so that's my theory that she's basically just throw away

[00:34:59] candidate uh Trump Trump will win and uh yeah it'll be just like the before Biden it'll be four more years of that of people yelling fascists and basically uh not happy with Trump and they're

[00:35:16] gonna build on that so because I mean not only does the DNC have to rebuild their structure I mean the the Republicans do too the Republicans need to rebuild they need to because I'm not I'm not a

[00:35:31] huge fan of Trump but what he did for the economy and you know and stuff like that like I do believe he there were a lot of better things than worse uh but you know the fact is is they could

[00:35:42] they need to rebuild it to where they need to have somebody stand up and have a good candidate leading into the next election cycle because if they don't it's going to be the exact same thing and

[00:35:54] and you know who knows it's there's rumors of new some and there's rumors of Whitmer and there's all kinds of rumors floating around of who's going to be the next person um there's

[00:36:04] nothing like that right now uh in the Republicans like it's all focused on Trump and it's focused on just what's coming up it's we need to start looking ahead and and planning for that well

[00:36:18] and I think part of the reason for that though is like you have to bear in mind that my my outlook on politics in this country is that the Republicans and the Democrats not the the voters but the

[00:36:27] parties are like a two-headed snake two heads same snake yeah and the RNC or the Republican party the GOP absolutely 110% did not want Trump to be the nominee in 2016 anybody that doubts that look at

[00:36:46] the number of look at the number of establishment Republicans who turned into never never Trumpers and joined hands with the would rather join hands with the Democrats to stall work to stall all of his efforts than to work with their their party's candidate so the Republicans the the

[00:37:05] party did not want Trump then do not want him now but they don't have a choice because if they don't run them the voters stay home so they're running him under duress as far as I'm concerned

[00:37:17] what there what is going to happen after this election cycle regardless of which direction it goes I think if Trump loses again this time I think he's probably done I don't I don't seem coming back

[00:37:29] four years older four years no further down the road and trying to run again uh I've said in the past I think his smartest move at this point honestly would be to friggin form his own pack

[00:37:41] and if he really if he and his family truly believe that there is a proper direction for the Republican party and a proper direction for this country I think he could have a very

[00:37:52] long-standing effect on politics in this country by forming a pack and by donating money at the local state and federal level to politicians who exhibit those values of put America first put the

[00:38:05] people first stop stop you know bending over for the special interests and I think he could have a very long standing effect on politics if he did that but as far as Donald J. Trump his time

[00:38:17] in politics is over either right now or in four years and regardless of who the the Republicans put up they are not going to put up another another MAGA candidate they are not going to put

[00:38:29] up a populist they are not going to put up someone who doesn't want to play games with special interests they're not going to put up a small a small government constitutionalist they're going to put up a party person they're going to put up a Mitt Romney they're going

[00:38:42] to put up a George Bush they're going to put up somebody who will do what they are told to do just like the Democrats are doing right now and we're going to go right back into this cycle

[00:38:53] of it doesn't matter who's in charge they're screwing you in a different way like I said they're going to do with the special interests pay the parties to tell them to

[00:39:02] do so my outlook on politics in this country is what we're going to get in the near future is either this upswell where people refuse to vote for these establishment shills and demand

[00:39:19] populist candidates and the parties accept that or as more and more and more of the baby boomers age out of politics because they're getting very old and they're going into nursing homes

[00:39:32] it's going to fall on Gen X and the millennials to finally flip the table over and say we're not doing the same more we're not vote Republican we're not bone Democrat and force

[00:39:41] third parties up to the top of the ticket I mean you could see that this time too with RFK I mean he's running independent unfortunately unfortunately the mainstream media and stuff like that kind of

[00:39:52] shoved him out of the way he's not allowed on the debate stage which is insane to me I mean anybody running for president I mean when they narrow it down to who's to what parties and

[00:40:02] stuff like that they should be allowed to be on the debate stage next to everybody else but I mean yeah RFK the way you know if he's on the ticket very well you could get more people voting

[00:40:17] independent I'm gonna tell you honestly I think the biggest loss here isn't that RFK ran as an independent is that the Democrats didn't snatch him up I mean the moment Joe Biden dropped out

[00:40:29] why on earth pivot to Kamala Harris instead of go to Robert F Kennedy who has populist support who is a moderate on a lot of issues some of the things he's about I'm like

[00:40:44] cringe chill at my spine but for the most part I would love to see the Robert F Kennedy Donald J Trump debate I would pay money to see the two of them swap policy ideas because

[00:40:58] I don't I didn't vote Donald J Trump back then and I'm not voting again in 2024 because he's a Republican because he's not but I'm voting for him because he's a populist candidate because he's if he's pissing off the Republican you know if he's pissing off the big

[00:41:17] Republican party he's probably on my eight list if he's pissing off the DNC he's definitely on my eight list and Robert F Kennedy Donald J Trump neither one of them are party people neither one

[00:41:29] of them are they're principal people right and that's also why my theory about Kamala being a throwaway candidate started developing is just because of the fact that I mean he's only 70

[00:41:42] I mean Robert F Kennedy says 70 years old so in theory if he wanted to come back in four years he could come back and run if you wanted to I don't believe that people that old should be

[00:41:57] in charge I really wish they had an age limit come rubbing my temples because I'm so tired of people above retirement age running you know being the ones in charge of this country and

[00:42:07] holding the nuclear football I love all of you that are I love all of you who are at that age but I am so sick and tired of seeing 70 and 75 and 80 year old people holding the power in this

[00:42:18] country I am tired of it I am seriously ready for some people in their 50s or maybe insanity anarchy maybe people in their 40s finally you know people who are not party shills actually get some populist support to be able to run this country because you know

[00:42:38] most of us are working in very high paying jobs and if we're good enough to do that I would think we're good enough to run the country but who am I just crazy person yeah I mean yeah the the idea

[00:42:49] that we have people that are in congress that are way past retirement age um but because they're making so much money on the backs of Americans they don't want to step down so I definitely think that

[00:43:06] we need I don't know I really think we need a shift as far as some politics goes as far as things go we need we need term limits and the idea that somebody can sit there because this

[00:43:17] isn't supposed to be I mean the founding fathers never were they they intended this not to be a full-time job it was supposed to be basically a job that you didn't want but you did because you were

[00:43:31] elected to it and then you step aside after a couple you know after a couple times and so this is now it's been but so yeah so uh it's gonna be interesting because yeah I would love to see

[00:43:45] uh and you know and I guess we'll see what happens with Vance as Trump's running mate as the vice president he is young and so we'll see what he does if things go smoothly maybe he might be the person that wants

[00:43:59] to take over and that might be why they put him in because he's young and so when he gets if they get you know getting elected and he runs for four years under Trump as vice president then

[00:44:10] he turns around and he jumps into the presidency nominee because he is younger so so I don't know we'll see a lot of speculation and it's going to get interesting I think we're going to need some

[00:44:23] more popcorn and more whiskey to watch it but I would definitely say no matter what happens we need to keep stacking food keep stacking water keep stacking your supplies just because

[00:44:37] of the fact that we don't know which way it's going to go and I really truly feel that if Trump does get elected again we're going to see riots and we're going to see basically a summer of love

[00:44:49] 2.0 or 3.0 whichever if you want to call this version 2.0 this year but we're going to see I think we're going to see some mass riots we're going to see more the pro-Palestine the

[00:45:02] anti-Israel we're going to see the pro-Hamas I mean we're going to see a lot of crap come out even more than now and it's I think the political violence is actually going to get worse

[00:45:15] closer to the election that we get the political violence is going to get worse and then depending on what happens with the election I think it's going to uh it's going to get worse after the election so no and I'm glad you said that at the very end

[00:45:28] because like it it caused to mind something I saw and I couldn't tell you where on social media I saw but it said that you know preppers are always derided as hoarders but there is one critical

[00:45:40] difference between preppers and or preppers and hoarders not hoarders what was the term panic panic shoppers so a panic shopper buys when everything's on fire right a prepper buys always so like this goes back to something I've said time after time every every time

[00:46:02] somebody tries to drag me into a discussion about politics other than Andrew and other on the show because I love all of you I usually like cross my eyes zone out and I'm like I'm just I'm over

[00:46:12] politics I'm sick and tired of it it's all it's I recently called politics like pro wrestling for boomers and I kind of met it in a good natured way but like I'm just I'm over it

[00:46:23] it's theater it it has no it has no major impact on my life at this point and the thing I continue to tell people is I'm like regardless of who wins this election in November it doesn't matter you

[00:46:37] should still be stacking food and stacking water stacking ammo and buying tourniquets and everything you were doing a year ago and five years ago and 10 years ago building up your savings account watching your budget you should be doing all those things because preparedness is

[00:46:53] not something we do when the skies are dark it's something we do because we're preppers it's what we do so even if Donald J Trump wins the election here in November and for the next four years

[00:47:03] gas has a dollar sixty a gallon and food prices come down to reality and the economy is singing and life is good you don't stop prepping if anything you double down on it

[00:47:16] because now your money goes further so that's the only thing I can leave you with if you're the person that says oh my god the sky is falling what happens if Kamala winds up as president what

[00:47:25] happens if Donald J Trump wants to be the president you do the same things you always do and you don't freak out over it you pay attention you react to things as they're coming maybe even

[00:47:37] try to anticipate things before they get here but you live your life you take care of your family you friggin get ready for a rainy day and if you're having a rainy day you get worse you get

[00:47:49] ready for an even worse rainy day but that's the only thing I can tell you all is like if you're that worried about it start making plans now and start executing those plans but the minute

[00:47:58] you start saying it's doom and gloom the sky is the sky is falling and it's the end of the world you haven't been paying attention anything we've been saying for all this time because our message has been the same through an Obama presidency a Trump presidency and now

[00:48:14] Joe Biden presidency it's been the same message keep prepping keep your head down and get ready for tomorrow holly amen yeah all right well let's roll this out you got stuff to do I got stuff to do

[00:48:28] I've got three days before I have to go back to work and I have a mountain of projects to take care of in the meantime seems helping away from home for basically a week and a half straight

[00:48:40] but take care of each other take care of yourselves try not to get too bogged down in the insanity in the theater of politics just keep doing what you're doing and we'll talk to y'all next week guys bye everybody
