[00:00:05] I don't want to set the world
[00:00:11] I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over the country. Maybe there will be.
[00:00:17] To chase, at least for a moment, Trump and the maggots off the stage.
[00:00:26] There needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there's unrest in our lives.
[00:00:31] I think he needs to go back and punch him in the face.
[00:00:36] I thought he should have punched him in the face.
[00:00:37] I feel like punching him.
[00:00:39] I'd like to take him behind the gym if I were in high school.
[00:00:41] If you're in high school, I'd take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.
[00:00:44] I will go and take Trump out tonight.
[00:00:47] Take him out now.
[00:00:48] When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?
[00:00:52] They're still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump.
[00:00:55] Show me where it says that protestors are supposed to be polite and peaceful.
[00:00:59] I will come anymore, anywhere.
[00:01:05] I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
[00:01:10] Please, get up in the face of some congresspeople.
[00:01:14] People will do what they do.
[00:01:16] I want to tell you, Gorsuch.
[00:01:19] I want to tell you, Kavanaugh.
[00:01:21] You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price.
[00:01:26] We're going to go in there winning the ****.
[00:01:29] This is just a warning to you Trumpers.
[00:01:33] Be careful.
[00:01:35] Walk lightly.
[00:01:36] And for those of you who are soldiers, make them pay.
[00:01:41] While Biden was at the beach during the deadliest hurricane of the year, Kamala Harris was hosting fundraisers in California.
[00:01:49] Days later, she posted a staged photo from Air Force Two.
[00:01:53] The paper she's writing on is blank and her earphones aren't plugged in.
[00:01:58] At least Bush looked out of the window, flying over Katrina.
[00:02:03] Trump went to Georgia before Biden-Harris.
[00:02:05] Trump went to East Palestine before Biden-Harris.
[00:02:08] Trump went to the border before Biden-Harris.
[00:02:11] Trump spoke to Lake and Riley's family before Biden-Harris.
[00:02:15] And he spoke to the Afghanistan Gold Star families before Biden-Harris.
[00:02:19] They say 80% of life's just showing up.
[00:02:22] And Biden and Harris have their own jets.
[00:02:25] So what's their excuse?
[00:02:27] They can get anyone in the world on the phone in 30 seconds, but they won't even pick it up.
[00:02:33] Trump goes to you.
[00:02:35] Biden and Harris hide from you.
[00:02:37] Trump shows you that he loves you.
[00:02:40] Biden and Harris take you for granted.
[00:02:42] We all know people like that.
[00:02:46] We are your lizard overlords.
[00:02:52] Stop listening to these preppers.
[00:02:59] Eat your crickets.
[00:03:01] Fight in the streets.
[00:03:06] Own nothing.
[00:03:09] And love it.
[00:03:18] We are the Prepper Broadcasting Network.
[00:03:25] What's up, boys and girls?
[00:03:27] Ladies and gentlemen, it's me, your boy, L. Douglas Hogan.
[00:03:32] Man, what a week it's been.
[00:03:34] I don't even know where to begin.
[00:03:36] Actually, you know, I've been I've been I've been away from you guys for at least a month.
[00:03:40] Getting things sorted for prepper camp.
[00:03:43] Book cover designs I've been working on.
[00:03:47] My homestead.
[00:03:48] It's just been it's needed a lot of attention anyway.
[00:03:51] Long story short, I've been very busy.
[00:03:53] But I'm thankful that you guys are still out there.
[00:03:56] And you're listening and that you're here right now.
[00:03:59] And I'm thankful for that.
[00:04:00] I'm thankful for my listeners.
[00:04:01] I'm thankful for all of you out there in podcast land.
[00:04:06] Thank you for.
[00:04:07] Thank you so much for for sticking around.
[00:04:10] Sorry for if I had any audio issues there.
[00:04:13] Hold on one second here.
[00:04:14] Test test one, two.
[00:04:16] Just want to make just want to make sure that my my audio equipment's working right because I'm not sounding correct on my audio levels on this end.
[00:04:25] But maybe it's just me.
[00:04:26] Who knows?
[00:04:27] Man. So, OK.
[00:04:28] Prepper camp 2024 saluted North Carolina.
[00:04:32] I survived it.
[00:04:34] Not saying that boastfully or anything like that.
[00:04:38] We were all talking about making some T shirts up.
[00:04:40] Those of us that went out there and was crazy enough to attend it.
[00:04:44] And regardless of the knowledge and impending natural disaster that was heading towards North Carolina in the process, Hurricane Helene came across and we were expecting that hurricane to hit us about three o'clock, three thirty in the morning where we were at there campgrounding or camping at.
[00:05:11] At at at at orchard campground in Saluda, North Carolina.
[00:05:16] Anyway, I was pitched up just probably maybe twenty five yards for my buddy Ryan Buford.
[00:05:24] And he's I'm sure he's listening to this.
[00:05:26] Hey, I'm throwing a holla holla holla out to you, my friend and anybody else that was there camping in tents.
[00:05:32] There was some some friends of ours also that was there, not just in tents, but he was in a hammock as I was.
[00:05:37] And there was others in campers and such.
[00:05:41] Yeah, it was.
[00:05:43] We're very grateful that we made it out of there.
[00:05:46] And let me just tell you my experience while I was there before I start talking about anything else that happened on my way out.
[00:05:56] We got there.
[00:05:57] We did.
[00:05:57] We was raining.
[00:05:58] It was raining pretty good from the from the onset of our arrival there Thursday.
[00:06:03] The the twenty six.
[00:06:05] Pramp camp was start.
[00:06:07] It was supposed to kick off on the twenty seventh.
[00:06:09] I was a vendor and an instructor.
[00:06:11] So I was teaching on martial law, surviving martial law rather.
[00:06:15] And we're expected to be there.
[00:06:17] Then have vendors vending tables set up a day early so we could wake up bright and early Friday morning at registration and have everything kicked off and ready to go.
[00:06:26] However, with the the rains and there was lots of rains ahead of the actual eye of the hurricane that was coming inland, the rain was coming down pretty, pretty hard.
[00:06:38] And there was a lot of flood flooding that was happening already across North Carolina.
[00:06:44] The docks where we were at down along.
[00:06:50] Orchard Lake was was was were flooded.
[00:06:52] They were under.
[00:06:53] We couldn't find some of the boats even in some of the some of the docks was underwater.
[00:06:58] So we had decided or or or Rick Austin, the host, the guy, the one that puts pretty much all this together, the nuts and bolts of this thing, him and his wife, Jane.
[00:07:13] But I had they decided that we were just going to postpone the originally till one o'clock in the afternoon for the rains.
[00:07:20] Well, it ended up being pushed back until five o'clock.
[00:07:28] The rains actually slowed down.
[00:07:31] So we were able to get out there about four or five o'clock set up our vending tables.
[00:07:34] Right. So we separate our tables Friday morning and actually bypassed the hurricane portion of it.
[00:07:44] Let me go back up here a little bit.
[00:07:46] Thursday night, three o'clock in the morning.
[00:07:48] The hurricane's rolling through tables aren't set up yet.
[00:07:53] We were going to wait till the next day to actually to set up at five o'clock or one o'clock rather.
[00:07:59] But three o'clock in the morning.
[00:08:01] We're we're there right in the hurricane starts come through and I've barely slept at this point because I know that there's a national disaster coming.
[00:08:10] And I'm kind of watching the weather.
[00:08:13] Now, my phone, because there was no signal, but I'm watching the time on my phone.
[00:08:18] And I knew in advance that is going to hit us about three, three thirty in the morning.
[00:08:22] So I'm wide awake just kind of waiting for this to come to roll in and and hit us.
[00:08:27] And it's just pounding range is pounding down on my tarp.
[00:08:30] I'm in a in a hammock with a wrapped up in a cocoon up inside of there.
[00:08:35] So I'm warm.
[00:08:36] I'm dry when I went to bed anyway.
[00:08:39] The rain is just pounding, pounding, pounding on top of the hammock.
[00:08:43] I'm underneath the Dyneema fiber or carbon fiber.
[00:08:48] No, it's actually Dyneema fiber, not carbon fiber scratcher.
[00:08:50] Dyneema fiber.
[00:08:51] It's a really strong fabric.
[00:08:52] I believe at this point, it's the strongest fiber and fiber known to man, but I'm underneath it.
[00:08:55] And it's completely waterproof.
[00:08:57] However, I sleep with a lot of heat, right?
[00:08:59] So I'm exuding a lot of heat, which rising, making the underside of my hammock or my my tarp warm and the outside a little bit cooler, even though the rain wasn't really cold because it was like it was coming in and turning transition, turning into a tropical storm.
[00:09:15] It was coming in to us.
[00:09:17] And so that rain was pounding down.
[00:09:20] And so by the time I woke up, I was feeling drops from it was not that the rain was coming through, but it was knocking the condensation from underneath the tarp down on top of me.
[00:09:28] And I was feeling splashes on my face.
[00:09:31] The trees were waving back and forth.
[00:09:34] Things were falling out of the trees.
[00:09:35] I could hear things hitting the top of my tarp, you know.
[00:09:38] Now, when you're selecting a place to sleep as a camper, as a hammock camper, you want to look up before you set up these things in which I did.
[00:09:48] I was very careful to look up because I actually bypassed one spot that I was going to hammock camp under because there were so many old limbs up there that I was worried they're called widowmakers.
[00:09:57] I was just afraid that they were going to fall down on top of me.
[00:10:00] So I bypassed that location, went up a little bit further.
[00:10:04] But regardless, this is a hurricane, right?
[00:10:06] So things were still falling on top of my tarp.
[00:10:09] I had the walls of my tarp strung out pretty tight.
[00:10:13] So whatever was falling wasn't heavy enough to crush me.
[00:10:17] But it did hit.
[00:10:18] It did pound on top of my tarp and kind of slid off.
[00:10:20] And the next morning, I saw little chunks of twigs and very small limbs that had fallen down and hit the tarp and was laying kind of around the area where I was sleeping.
[00:10:33] But I did that every hour I woke up and made.
[00:10:38] Well, I didn't really sleep.
[00:10:39] So I kind of tried to catnap a little bit here and there until something fall on top of my tarp and kind of wake me up.
[00:10:44] But every hour to a half hour, I was waking back up again and trying to video log this like kind of like a vlog, which I did.
[00:10:54] You know, when I uploaded that to YouTube, I made it public so you find my channel and go check that out.
[00:11:00] It's not a very popular channel, so you might have to dig for me.
[00:11:03] I don't put a lot of videos up there.
[00:11:05] Probably camping stuff, probably some Tough Mudder stuff, this kind of thing.
[00:11:08] But it's up.
[00:11:12] And about five o'clock in the morning, I heard a tree fall.
[00:11:15] So I'm like, OK, this is I've now exceeded my comfort level at this point because the tree.
[00:11:22] You got to understand this.
[00:11:23] This it's been flooding flooding in North Carolina at this point.
[00:11:26] So the ground is completely saturated.
[00:11:28] The roots systems become weakened at that point and become compromised.
[00:11:33] Right there with with the grounds not going to be hard.
[00:11:36] It's not going to be dried up.
[00:11:37] The roots really have nothing to grab onto.
[00:11:40] At least it's what there is to grab onto.
[00:11:43] It's weak because it's saturated wet and the winds are blowing.
[00:11:47] Even though I was on the side of the mountain, I wasn't getting blown really hard myself, but the treetops were and they were swaying.
[00:11:56] Pretty hard.
[00:11:56] And my hammock was about something down.
[00:11:58] And I was afraid that my weight I weigh 240 pounds.
[00:12:01] I'm afraid that my weight on this hammock was pulling this already leaning tree that was catching this wind in my direction.
[00:12:07] And I kept thinking about that.
[00:12:08] Got a little nervous to too nervous for my comfort.
[00:12:10] Um, so when I heard that tree fall, I got up and I moved out, left everything there under my tarp, moved out, uh, down the hill with my flashlight, got back into my truck.
[00:12:21] And I stayed there for another two and a half, three hours kind of watching and the power went out in that timeframe while I was watching.
[00:12:31] Come to find out there was a young lady from Mississippi.
[00:12:35] Mississippi.
[00:12:35] I call her Mississippi.
[00:12:37] Uh, I thought it was kind of a, my nickname for her.
[00:12:40] So that's why I ran with, um, Mississippi had, um, was sleeping in a tent and, uh, she had felt the Lord tell her, you know, Hey, get up and move out of this spot.
[00:12:54] And so she did, she got up and moved out of that spot.
[00:12:58] And when the light had come, when the sun had come and the rain said, slow to everybody's kind of getting out.
[00:13:04] Remember the tree I told you that I heard fall.
[00:13:08] It was that tree and it had fallen on her campsite where she was at.
[00:13:13] And so that's kind of our miracle story.
[00:13:15] Not only did we all survive that.
[00:13:17] Um, that, and, um, to my knowledge, all of us that was there at prepper camp in salute, North Carolina made it out, but that tree falling on that spot where she was at, uh, and having her been told how she felt there was a Lord telling her to leave from that spot.
[00:13:35] And she did.
[00:13:36] And then the tree fell in that spot and that, that it was, it wasn't an, uh, an injury tree.
[00:13:42] It was a funeral tree.
[00:13:44] If you follow my, my, my meaning with that.
[00:13:47] So we're all very fortunate.
[00:13:49] We made it out of there.
[00:13:50] Um, the next, so about, like I said, I, earlier, I kind of went ahead of myself, uh, five o'clock, the rain stopped for five o'clock and we set up our vending tables and it was decent after that.
[00:14:03] It, you know, um, the winds were decent.
[00:14:08] The, the rain had, had slowed and stopped at some point.
[00:14:12] And, uh, we enjoyed the entire next day.
[00:14:14] The entire next day was just, it was a nice day.
[00:14:17] And there was, uh, some, some rain here and there, but for the most part it was, it was warm.
[00:14:24] And, uh, we were all tired of being soaking wet cause of the Thursday and Friday.
[00:14:29] We were just all day Friday.
[00:14:31] We were just wet and we're tired of it, but the rains finally stopped and we set up the vending tables.
[00:14:38] And then we had a good prepper camp for a day, but then it started raining again.
[00:14:42] The next, that night, that afternoon.
[00:14:45] And, uh, it kept going.
[00:14:47] And, uh, unfortunately because of the weather and the conditions outside of the campground, uh, Austin, Rick Austin said, well, we're going to have to cut it a little bit short.
[00:14:59] And, uh, so we can't, we canceled at 12 o'clock the next day.
[00:15:03] Well, by then it was already Sunday and our Saturday, Sunday, it was Sunday.
[00:15:12] Uh, and we're going to close at noon and we're like, well, Sunday's usually slow anyway.
[00:15:16] And it's raining and conditions are getting worse.
[00:15:19] And, uh, trees had actually fallen down over the roadways, preventing anybody from leaving.
[00:15:26] And there was some people there, some vendors who thankfully went out to help and they had chainsaws with them, which was awesome.
[00:15:32] I thought, and they went out to cut the ways that they could anyway.
[00:15:36] So they cut some, cut, cut some, at least one lane open so we could get in, people could get in and get out.
[00:15:44] And me and some others ended up leaving at seven o'clock that morning, just because we had such a long drive.
[00:15:49] One, one of my family, family friends was, is a family, but they're all my friends.
[00:15:57] So, uh, left with also at seven o'clock and, uh, heading towards toward back to Texas.
[00:16:03] And y'all know I'm from Illinois.
[00:16:04] So I had a, well, it should have been eight hour, eight and a half hour drive.
[00:16:09] It took me five and a half hours just to get out of North Carolina.
[00:16:13] And if you go check out the video that I posted on, on YouTube, you'll see some of the craziness that I encountered on the way.
[00:16:20] I didn't record everything.
[00:16:21] I recorded some, some tidbits here and there.
[00:16:23] There were so many trees that was down.
[00:16:26] I had one point, uh, because I didn't know I-26 was closed.
[00:16:31] So I couldn't take that to get out of Saluda.
[00:16:33] Interstate 40 was closed closer to where I was at.
[00:16:36] So I couldn't, I couldn't connect to that.
[00:16:39] But so I, my, somebody said, hey, just shoot up to Charlotte, North Carolina.
[00:16:44] And there's, there should be more options to get out from there.
[00:16:46] So I drove an hour to Charlotte up 74.
[00:16:52] And when I got up there, it just kept, Google Maps just kept telling me where I finally had a signal up there.
[00:16:57] Just kept telling me, go back down 74 and do this, this, this, this.
[00:17:02] I'm like, so I wasted two hours, one hour up 74, one hour down 74, just to get back to where I was at originally.
[00:17:12] And Google Maps says we found a faster route.
[00:17:15] And I said, sure.
[00:17:16] I accepted it.
[00:17:16] And it was taking me through South Carolina and eventually to, to, uh, Atlanta, Georgia.
[00:17:21] So I'm following this route and I get to where I could go no further because there's a downed tree, like lots of trees actually, that was blocking the roadway.
[00:17:30] And they hadn't been cut open yet by the crews.
[00:17:33] All along the way, there's mudslides that I drove in and out and I've recorded all that and posted it.
[00:17:38] There's downed power lines that people are just kind of driving over.
[00:17:42] Uh, it was bad, bad situation.
[00:17:45] The floodwaters, the, I mean, it was bad.
[00:17:49] And so I had no signal at this point.
[00:17:52] I lost my signal.
[00:17:53] I know that, you know, even numbers, uh, route, U S route states run East and West and odds run North and South.
[00:17:59] So I'm kind of following my tuition.
[00:18:01] The sun was blocked out.
[00:18:03] I lost my navigational skills with the sun.
[00:18:05] I couldn't really see for the, for the clouds and the haze of fog, everything was in the air and the sky.
[00:18:11] So I'm just kind of following my guts on, on the North, South, East, West area.
[00:18:14] With the roads.
[00:18:16] So I'm in North Carolina and I finally reached Tennessee.
[00:18:22] Uh, rather actually I was up where the trees were down and I had to turn around and that was South Carolina.
[00:18:27] So I went back to North Carolina originally.
[00:18:29] And then I went, I started heading back down some of these highways.
[00:18:33] I find myself in Tennessee.
[00:18:35] I'm like, all right, I'm on the right track.
[00:18:36] You know, I gotta go through Tennessee to get back home.
[00:18:38] So I come to a tee.
[00:18:39] Do I go left or do I right?
[00:18:40] I'm like, it looks like I like left.
[00:18:43] It was a North South way.
[00:18:45] And I came here with the, what the highway is right now.
[00:18:48] I want to say 25, but I'm not completely sure.
[00:18:51] So I turned left and, uh, shot, uh, South again.
[00:18:55] You know, I've kind of lost my direction with no sun.
[00:18:58] And I get back into North Carolina.
[00:19:00] I'm like, Oh my God, this is freaking not working out for me.
[00:19:02] So I turned around and that was like an hour drive, turn around, shot back an hour in the other direction, got back to where I originally met up, met the T and finished an hour in the other direction.
[00:19:14] And gas stations were so completely full.
[00:19:17] Like the ones that were, that actually had power.
[00:19:19] Not too many gas stations had power.
[00:19:20] They're almost all closed.
[00:19:22] I'm running out of gas at this point.
[00:19:23] I have like a half tank.
[00:19:24] I'm getting kind of worried because I'm driving all over this, all over North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and back North Carolina again, trying to find my way home back to Illinois.
[00:19:33] And I'm running short on gas, not because I got so far to drive up front.
[00:19:36] I'm just driving in vain at this point.
[00:19:39] So I finally get, um, to, I don't know what it was.
[00:19:43] I find a gas station just literally sitting in the middle of nowhere and it had power and there was no customers there.
[00:19:49] I'm like, what?
[00:19:50] Like it was a godsend.
[00:19:51] So I pull in, I pump my gas tank full, you know, I load up and I feel I have enough to head head on.
[00:19:59] Cause I feel like at this point I'm in a good way.
[00:20:01] I'm out in the open.
[00:20:02] I'm out of the mountains.
[00:20:04] And I was a lot of side roading.
[00:20:06] It was very, uh, very tedious driving.
[00:20:10] Find a dollar general store.
[00:20:13] I kid you not out middle nowhere.
[00:20:15] I want to say now I'm on 73 at this point, route 73 in North Carolina.
[00:20:20] And they're like, I go into this dollar tree, this dollar store, and, uh, just talk to someone.
[00:20:25] I grab a random person.
[00:20:26] I'm assuming.
[00:20:27] Can you please point me in the nearest interstate?
[00:20:29] Sure.
[00:20:29] Just stay on 73 all the way down to you, to, uh, hit a T and turn left.
[00:20:33] And that'll take your right to interstate 40.
[00:20:36] And I knew where I was at this point that the, that part of interstate 40 should have been open.
[00:20:41] At least I was hoping it was.
[00:20:42] So I said, thank you so much.
[00:20:44] You know, I shot back in my truck.
[00:20:45] I drove, this is where I drove, um, through Asheville and I saw the devastation in Asheville.
[00:20:52] And I saw the devastation.
[00:20:53] I started, I was at this point heading towards, um, Newport.
[00:20:58] And, uh, I knew that the interstate 40, I was going to hook up into Newport and grab on the interstate 40.
[00:21:04] And I recorded some of the, I mean, I saw my, I saw houses floating down the, it looked like a river.
[00:21:09] I believe it used to be a road, but it was a river now houses, um, cars.
[00:21:15] I saw, I saw neighborhoods clearly underwater.
[00:21:20] The devastation.
[00:21:21] And I, there's no word I can say that could adequately describe what I saw.
[00:21:26] It was awful.
[00:21:28] And then the gas stations I had, I'd met along the way, the customers were wrapped around the block, probably a quarter mile lines that would turn and then wrap around the block.
[00:21:41] And I saw three like that on my way back to interstate 40 before I finally hooked back into 40.
[00:21:47] And from interstate 40 on, it was trees down.
[00:21:50] They, they, they had cut them, cut, cut them like so that we could at least the interstate was open again.
[00:21:55] But you could see how it had been closed because all these trees were across the interstate.
[00:22:00] Everywhere.
[00:22:01] Trees.
[00:22:01] It was, it was commonplace to see trees falling everywhere.
[00:22:04] Not small trees either.
[00:22:05] Like these are big trees with large root systems.
[00:22:08] Like I said, the integrity of, of, of the roots in the ground was just saturated with water and they had fallen over.
[00:22:15] Long story short, it took me five and a half hours to get out of North Carolina.
[00:22:18] It took me 12 hours total to get from where I was at to get home again, which should have been an eight and a half hour trip.
[00:22:27] So it was crazy.
[00:22:28] It was, it was, it was, it was a, it was a trip.
[00:22:30] I'm praying for the people in North Carolina, the Asheville area.
[00:22:35] I can't believe that, um, that our president and the vice president hasn't been out that way.
[00:22:42] I mean, they're just completely, and you heard Jesse waters, you know, in my intro, he's, he's got it covered, man.
[00:22:49] I mean, where are they?
[00:22:51] They're completely absent.
[00:22:52] I know Joe Biden was at one point was on a beach.
[00:22:55] You know, I follow the news enough to know that he was at least at one point on the beach, completely oblivious, sleepy Joe doesn't care anymore.
[00:23:02] I mean, we had no president at this point for the past few months, ever since the past month or two, ever since he lost that, remember he was sharp as a tack and he was ready to be president.
[00:23:11] And everybody was backing him and he was going to beat Joe and everything.
[00:23:15] And then all of a sudden one day on one day he pivoted on a dime and he's not fit to be president.
[00:23:21] He's not sharp anymore.
[00:23:23] He's, he suffered from dementia.
[00:23:25] The left had completely turned on him and without having any kind of a voting cycle to nominate a new presidential candidate, the left by, by Fiat said, well, it's going to be Kamala Harris.
[00:23:40] And she was a no name.
[00:23:42] Like she was, she, I believe she pulled like literally like, like 20% approval rating back in the day, the 2020 race.
[00:23:50] She was awful.
[00:23:51] Like nobody, people couldn't stand her.
[00:23:54] And all of a sudden now the media made her into a left-wing superstar.
[00:23:59] Uh, she started holding these, uh, concerts and calling them rallies.
[00:24:04] Started inviting these, uh, uh, busting all these people in.
[00:24:08] So we, it's all on record video people.
[00:24:10] You guys just do your research.
[00:24:12] You know, I'm not a news caster.
[00:24:14] You don't, don't come to me for the news, do your own research and go.
[00:24:17] I tell you guys this all the time, go watch your own news, go do your own research and go do you.
[00:24:21] You, I get it.
[00:24:22] You have to search the dark web sometimes to find anything, uh, because, uh, there's such a spin on it anymore with the lamestream media, but they're covering for them.
[00:24:31] They're totally covering for them.
[00:24:33] And they, they want you to think that she's a superstar.
[00:24:35] So they're busing and you can find it.
[00:24:37] Just look it up.
[00:24:38] They're busing on all these people.
[00:24:39] They're even paying people.
[00:24:41] They're even paying people.
[00:24:42] And you can find this too.
[00:24:44] This is out there.
[00:24:45] They're paying people money to come and to, to hold signs at these rallies.
[00:24:50] And you guys have seen the AI videos, the airplane with, with no reflection and all this other stuff.
[00:24:56] Well, there's a video where you can actually make AI videos too.
[00:25:01] But where it fails is where the AI fills is putting reflections, right?
[00:25:05] It can't do that kind of stuff.
[00:25:07] And you can zoom in on some of the AI pictures too, and see that the faces are all distorted, not real people.
[00:25:12] Okay.
[00:25:13] So, um, I do have conspiracy in this.
[00:25:18] So if you don't believe me, fine, go look it up.
[00:25:21] So I'm falling back on, we can say that this is a conspiracy if I'm wrong.
[00:25:25] Uh, whatever.
[00:25:26] I don't think that I am though.
[00:25:28] And it is what it is anyway.
[00:25:31] So she's, uh, she's, she's just absent.
[00:25:33] She's been a complete failure.
[00:25:35] She's got nothing right.
[00:25:37] Uh, she's relied heavily on the lamestream media to protect her in the two debates that she had with Donald Trump.
[00:25:42] And why Donald Trump even conceded to a second event or a second debate with her, I have no idea.
[00:25:48] Because every time he does, it's, it's him against her and the moderators.
[00:25:53] Two, two events so far.
[00:25:55] And this last one, what was it?
[00:25:56] Was it, um, uh, I can't remember if it was, I believe it was, uh, CNBC or I think so.
[00:26:02] Or CBS.
[00:26:03] They, they were like, it was awful.
[00:26:05] They covered for her.
[00:26:07] And so J.D. Vance here and this debate that happened yesterday, covered for, uh, showed up in, in, in, uh, I didn't say covered.
[00:26:18] Scratch that.
[00:26:19] They, uh, were trying to protect, you could tell they were trying to protect Kamala Harris or, uh, Tim Walls in this debate.
[00:26:25] Right.
[00:26:25] Because the rules were, he wouldn't be fact-checked because they were fact-checking Donald Trump.
[00:26:31] Fact, fact, fact, fact, fact-checking.
[00:26:32] They wouldn't, like they fact-checked him on everything that he said and they fact-checked nothing.
[00:26:36] You can still go anywhere and see, they're, they're calling everything that Donald Trump said a lie.
[00:26:40] Like, like he lied 23, 43, 45, 5,000 times.
[00:26:44] And, uh, she apparently didn't lie about anything, right?
[00:26:47] Baloney.
[00:26:49] She lied so many times.
[00:26:50] You just got to go to a right-wing place and look it up and then, and then do the homework yourself and see.
[00:26:56] Because for example, she, she said in the debate that she never said anything about confiscating guns.
[00:27:01] She's been very anti-gun legislation or very pro-gun legislation and anti-gun.
[00:27:08] She's talking about mandatory.
[00:27:09] I've heard the audio myself, seen the video.
[00:27:12] Mandatory buybacks.
[00:27:14] And she also said, and I saw this and I heard it with my own ears,
[00:27:17] that when the first hundred days she's going to write an executive order to get some,
[00:27:21] get the gun regulation under control, which yes, is unconstitutional.
[00:27:25] Would it become law?
[00:27:26] It wouldn't, it wouldn't, wouldn't count for anything because it's unconstitutional law.
[00:27:31] So she can write her executive orders if she wants to,
[00:27:33] but your local sheriff's department's are going to enforce it if they're good sheriffs.
[00:27:35] If you got good oath-taking sheriffs, listen,
[00:27:38] I want to talk just for a second on the, on the doctrine of lesser magistrates.
[00:27:42] If you don't understand this, look it up.
[00:27:44] I'm going to explain it to you briefly in a nutshell.
[00:27:45] The doctrine of lesser magistrates basically says, all right, as an example,
[00:27:50] she can write an executive order or even write a federal law, not her,
[00:27:53] but like the Congress can write a federal law.
[00:27:55] If it's unconstitutional, okay, such as gun confiscation,
[00:28:00] then, then those of you say, I live in Franklin County, Illinois, right?
[00:28:05] My sheriff isn't going to enforce that.
[00:28:08] He's of a lesser government authority.
[00:28:11] But here's the, here's the kicker.
[00:28:13] Offenses are tried in, in the county in which they're charged.
[00:28:17] So if in Franklin County, I'm charged with something, I'm, I, my offense is tried in Franklin County.
[00:28:24] All right.
[00:28:25] So if, if she writes an executive order and our sheriff says, well, we're not going to press charge on that,
[00:28:30] then guess what?
[00:28:32] Nobody's going to confiscate my rifles.
[00:28:33] If I'm seen with the rifle or a pistol or anything else, nothing's going to happen about it.
[00:28:38] Cause I'm not going to be charged.
[00:28:40] And if the government decides to charge me with something, it's going to be my county.
[00:28:43] My state's attorney will decide if he or not, I'm going to be tried for this.
[00:28:48] It's got to be in my county.
[00:28:50] And I was talking to my brother about this recently.
[00:28:52] And he told me, he said, well, he said, he said, the feds can seize cannabis and that's federal law.
[00:28:58] It doesn't matter what, you know, what state, county, anything.
[00:29:00] I said, I said, I get that, but it can't be charged or tried unless the, the, the county in which the offense is occurring,
[00:29:08] has a law against that or will in fact charge it or not.
[00:29:12] So if the feds catch me driving with 10,000 pounds of cannabis,
[00:29:16] but my state's attorney don't have a problem with it because it's legal in Illinois, right?
[00:29:22] They can, they can seize it.
[00:29:23] They can't charge me with anything.
[00:29:25] And if they did, my state attorney would throw it out.
[00:29:27] Case dismissed.
[00:29:28] So you guys understand the power of lesser magistrates and don't be afraid so much of your federal government.
[00:29:36] You want to live in a county that's conservative, somewhere that respects your right to freedom.
[00:29:42] There respects your rights, your second amendment that respects your right to freedom of expression.
[00:29:46] There respects your, your fourth minute right to privacy, right?
[00:29:49] Your sixth minute, all your due process stuff.
[00:29:51] You guys want to make sure that you're living in a place like that.
[00:29:55] Our people in Washington, DC or in Washington, uh, that have been sitting in prison since January 6th, 2021,
[00:30:02] no due process, you know, a right, a habeas corpus, a right to a fair and speedy trial.
[00:30:08] They've been denied that because the county in which they were in the offense,
[00:30:13] in the offense that, uh, the county in which that offense, uh, occurred, nobody's got their back.
[00:30:18] People, if you're going to go do something, do your homework and make sure the county that you're
[00:30:23] visiting is friendly to your rights.
[00:30:26] Live in counties that respect your rights.
[00:30:29] Stay out of the cities.
[00:30:31] Densily populated cities are always going to be liberal.
[00:30:34] The Bible says where people abound, sin does abound also.
[00:30:39] And that's why these big densely populated places are liberal.
[00:30:42] They're full of sin.
[00:30:44] Absolutely full of sin.
[00:30:46] I'm going to take a break right here.
[00:30:47] Who is on your side, PBN family?
[00:30:50] When it comes to healthcare, I know no better ally than the folks at the wellness company.
[00:30:55] They've been our sponsor now for months, and I want you to look at their monthly membership.
[00:31:00] Visit twc.health slash PBN.
[00:31:04] For $10 a month or less, your membership gets you discounted supplements and wellness products,
[00:31:10] discounted virtual care, and discounts on most specialty telehealth services.
[00:31:14] I'm talking allergy immunotherapy, freedom from pharma, vaccine injury.
[00:31:20] These people get it.
[00:31:21] They get you, and they are the future of healthcare.
[00:31:24] Visit twc.health slash PBN.
[00:31:27] Awesome.
[00:31:27] We want to thank our sponsors.
[00:31:29] Definitely want to thank our sponsors for their contributions and helping us to make
[00:31:34] the Prep Broadcasting Network a thing.
[00:31:37] But did you guys hear?
[00:31:39] Okay, I haven't talked to you since the DNC, right?
[00:31:42] Chris Cuomo has been surprising me.
[00:31:45] I've not been a friend of Chris.
[00:31:47] I'm sorry, his name is a tongue twister for me.
[00:31:49] I've not been a fan or a friend.
[00:31:51] I've not even been friendly to Chris Cuomo when I talk about him.
[00:31:55] Although the last couple podcasts I put out, he's been shocking me.
[00:31:59] He's been shocking me.
[00:32:00] Even though he's not come out publicly, he probably may never.
[00:32:04] He's definitely not going to become a servitive.
[00:32:06] But the things he's saying is leaning back as a centrist.
[00:32:12] He's down the middle on some of this stuff that he's talking about.
[00:32:15] And did you hear his report on News Nation as he's at the DNC?
[00:32:22] He's basically calling out the hypocrisy of the DNC and the money.
[00:32:27] I'm going to play this for you and let's do this.
[00:32:31] We'll maybe talk about it for another few seconds and then move on to another clip.
[00:32:36] But this is surprising to me.
[00:32:37] Check this out.
[00:32:39] A big theme here at the DNC is that they're going to go after corporate gouging.
[00:32:45] And they're going to go after corporations.
[00:32:47] Whether it's in taxes, largesse, loopholes.
[00:32:51] The RNC, we heard the same thing.
[00:32:53] They're going after the elites.
[00:32:54] The two sets of rules.
[00:32:56] Let me reveal a reality to you that has to be spoken to here.
[00:33:00] Okay?
[00:33:01] These are the soldiers.
[00:33:02] These are the men and the women that go back to their constituencies and their communities.
[00:33:06] And they fight.
[00:33:06] They take time from their jobs.
[00:33:08] They take time from their families.
[00:33:09] Republicans and Democrats alike.
[00:33:11] That's what they do.
[00:33:12] They need to charge these people up.
[00:33:13] They need to be able to get them on board.
[00:33:15] But there's another reality that is literally looking down on them.
[00:33:20] I want to pause that right there because whenever he said that these are the soldiers,
[00:33:23] he's showing the people on the bottom deck.
[00:33:25] Like people on the floor.
[00:33:26] The people that are walking around.
[00:33:28] That's who he's talking about.
[00:33:29] And then he's getting ready to open things up to another reality.
[00:33:32] Greg, look at the ring of sweets.
[00:33:33] Okay?
[00:33:34] This is not unique to Democrats.
[00:33:36] There is a game of money.
[00:33:38] Second, third, fourth floor.
[00:33:38] When people talk about Uniparty, we are strangled by the money reality in our politics.
[00:33:45] Those sweets start at 500 grand.
[00:33:47] You think there's like a teacher group up in there?
[00:33:50] You think it's like the Cub Scouts of Columbia County, South Carolina that's up in those boxes?
[00:33:56] Some of them are lobbies and good things.
[00:33:58] The media boxes, you think they're free?
[00:34:00] Why do you think I'm on the floor?
[00:34:03] News Nation is not a broke company.
[00:34:05] Nextdoor is a massive organization.
[00:34:07] We are corporate media.
[00:34:08] We don't have one of those boxes because that's the game.
[00:34:11] You pay to play.
[00:34:14] Those boxes are filled with the same people that they say they're going to regulate.
[00:34:18] They are literally looking down on the faithful and being told, yeah, yeah, we're going to
[00:34:24] break down on them.
[00:34:25] We're going to make them pay their share.
[00:34:27] They paid 500, 700, a million, a million and a half to have those seats.
[00:34:31] They get hotel suites that are probably gifted to the party.
[00:34:34] And the same thing is true with the Republican side.
[00:34:37] And they're going to take them down?
[00:34:39] They're going to change how it is.
[00:34:41] They are looking down from on high at the people who make the difference in their communities.
[00:34:45] And that is the reality of politics.
[00:34:47] And I had my producer walk around and show you those suites.
[00:34:50] None of that are all the same.
[00:34:52] They're not all the same.
[00:34:52] But the reality is, but the reality is, in 2000, they spent $300 million on presidential
[00:34:58] campaigns.
[00:34:59] 24 years later, you know what they're expected to spend?
[00:35:03] $10 billion.
[00:35:05] Do you know how much money Harris has raised in the last couple of weeks?
[00:35:08] Hundreds of millions.
[00:35:09] And that's success.
[00:35:10] A lot of it's small donor.
[00:35:12] A lot of it isn't.
[00:35:13] The most dangerous money in politics is now legal money because of Citizens United.
[00:35:17] You've got to know this.
[00:35:19] The idea that they can fight against it is almost laughable.
[00:35:22] It's almost laughable.
[00:35:24] So look, look and listen when you are told these things.
[00:35:28] Because I don't care what they promise you.
[00:35:29] Not here tonight.
[00:35:30] Not at the RNC.
[00:35:31] Not that Trump knows them.
[00:35:32] Not that they don't own them.
[00:35:33] He did one of the biggest fundraisers I've ever heard of in my life out where I live.
[00:35:38] Let's go stop right there.
[00:35:40] So looking this up, a penthouse suite at the DNC, $500,000.
[00:35:47] A club level suite, $1 million to $1.5 million.
[00:35:54] A lower level suite, $2.5 million.
[00:35:59] And the two lower level suites, $5 million.
[00:36:05] That's how much it costs you to suite at the DNC.
[00:36:07] And they want to preach to us about equality.
[00:36:10] Here's the thing.
[00:36:12] These people running for president and vice president, Kami Harris and Tampon Tim Walls,
[00:36:19] they've been wealthy for a very long time.
[00:36:21] She's been hooking up for a very long time with very wealthy people.
[00:36:25] And got into the circles that she needed to, doing what she needed to do to get to where she's at.
[00:36:31] She's always been a nobody, riding on the coattails of people with money and fame and popularity.
[00:36:38] And now here she is.
[00:36:40] The media is swooping in and saving her.
[00:36:43] And she's talking, because she's a communist, talking about equity.
[00:36:47] Equity is not the same as equality, people.
[00:36:50] Equity is quite different than equality.
[00:36:53] With equity, what she wants is equal outcomes for everybody.
[00:36:58] Do I think it's going to affect these millionaires and billionaires?
[00:37:01] Absolutely not.
[00:37:02] But in her mind, she thinks that it is, because she's a communist.
[00:37:07] And her daddy, that's a whole other thing.
[00:37:10] Oh my gosh, her dad.
[00:37:11] Go watch Candace Owens stuff on her dad.
[00:37:15] The man that she's calling is her dad, can't be her dad.
[00:37:18] Her dad actually died when he was two years old.
[00:37:20] Who's this guy?
[00:37:21] Nobody knows.
[00:37:22] The lady in her photos that she's calling her grandma died, I believe, three years before Candace was even born.
[00:37:30] Guys, it's crazy.
[00:37:31] Just go watch Candace Owens.
[00:37:34] She's trying to pull it all together.
[00:37:35] But she wants equity, right?
[00:37:37] She wants so that all of us, people that don't work and the people that work hard in the end, are even when it comes to finances.
[00:37:46] I can work really hard and be just as broke as a person that's not working at all.
[00:37:52] That's her vision for America.
[00:37:55] That's equity.
[00:37:56] Equal outcomes.
[00:37:57] So if I work really, really, really, really hard to have the things that I have in her mind, that's unfair because somebody else hasn't had the fortunes that I've had in my life.
[00:38:09] And that's why they don't have the things that I have.
[00:38:13] And that's wrong.
[00:38:14] This is America.
[00:38:15] And in America, everybody has an equal way of doing things.
[00:38:20] We're all equal.
[00:38:23] Some are smarter than others.
[00:38:24] That doesn't matter.
[00:38:26] We still have equal chances and equal opportunities to do things in life.
[00:38:31] Just because there's somebody that's more Elon Musk, for example.
[00:38:35] I'm no Elon Musk.
[00:38:36] He's way smarter than me.
[00:38:38] I don't deserve the things that he has because he's smarter than me and he's been able to do things with his money because of his intellect, because of his intelligence.
[00:38:47] The gifts that I have, I'm using them.
[00:38:50] I retired on a pension because I use the gifts that I have to get to where I'm at.
[00:38:55] I feel that I'm living fairly for what I've worked hard for in my life.
[00:39:00] Four years in the Marines.
[00:39:02] Became a police officer in 2006 and that part-time, the entire 25 years I was working for the state of Illinois and retired with a pension.
[00:39:08] And I'm still a police officer and I'm still doing that job.
[00:39:11] And I feel that I'm living equal to what I deserve.
[00:39:15] Just like Elon Musk is living equal to what he deserves.
[00:39:18] He's worked hard and he's smart.
[00:39:20] But that's not Kamala's America.
[00:39:23] Kamala's America is, in the end, somebody that doesn't have anything is going to have more.
[00:39:28] And somebody that has more like me is going to have less.
[00:39:31] So in the end, we are the same.
[00:39:33] And that's not fair.
[00:39:35] But that's Kamala's America.
[00:39:37] Some of you know that I've been working on a new book.
[00:39:40] It's going right in my Patriot series.
[00:39:42] So book one, Old Thakers.
[00:39:43] Book two, Survival of Martial Law.
[00:39:45] I've been working heavily the last month or so.
[00:39:48] Like, that's where I've been.
[00:39:50] I've been doing other things plus right working on this book that is, I feel, past due, at least in my own mind.
[00:39:56] And in the process, I came across this Netflix series, this Netflix show.
[00:40:01] And it's by Bill Gates.
[00:40:02] And it's called What's Next?
[00:40:04] I'm like, oh, this would be interesting.
[00:40:05] This would fit right into my book called The Program, right?
[00:40:07] That's going to come up and be the third book in my Patriot series.
[00:40:11] And as I got to looking at it, one of the later episodes in that series, the first season that's uploaded right now,
[00:40:19] he's interviewing, who is it?
[00:40:22] Hold on, let me think here.
[00:40:23] Bill Gates is interviewing, oh, Bernie Sanders about financial disparity.
[00:40:28] In other words, he believes there's an income gap and it's unfair.
[00:40:32] Talk about calling the kettle black.
[00:40:34] Bill Gates, who has a lot of money because of Microsoft,
[00:40:38] he became the youngest billionaire at a very young age in the 1980s,
[00:40:42] believes that there's an income inequality.
[00:40:45] And he's interviewing Bernie Sanders, the most socialist person,
[00:40:50] well, probably not more socialist than Kami Harris, but pretty darn close,
[00:40:53] who's also very, very rich.
[00:40:56] He owns a lot of properties.
[00:40:57] He owns a lot of stuff.
[00:40:59] And has been preaching about socialism for a long time, that there's an income gap.
[00:41:08] Guys, you can't make this up.
[00:41:10] You cannot make it up.
[00:41:12] And it's mind-blowing to me that these two idiots have the wherewithal and the gumption to sit on their heap of piles of money and say that there's an income inequality.
[00:41:23] If they really believe that, if they were true to their own doctrine, their own dogma,
[00:41:32] they would give away all their fortunes to poor people so that in the end there's equity.
[00:41:41] That they would give away so much money that other people are no longer poor and they are equal to them in their economic status.
[00:41:51] If they believed it, if they believe what they preached, the truth is they're hypocrites.
[00:41:55] They want this for America, but not for themselves.
[00:41:58] Remember, there's a ruling class.
[00:42:00] And this ruling class wants to be sitting on top while everybody else is shining their shoes and licking glass.
[00:42:07] That's what they want.
[00:42:09] Anyway, I am L. Douglas Hogan.
[00:42:11] And I just want to thank all of you for listening to The Rising Republic.
[00:42:14] And I'm sorry I was away for so long, but I'm back.
[00:42:17] I'll try to meet you next week.
[00:42:19] Y'all take care.
[00:42:21] God bless.
