Speaker 1: 1:37

Give Zero, america's number one third rate podcast. Coming at you the day after Christmas and I have picked up a Christmas, a Krimmiff. My Krimmiff sniffles a story by JB. Once upon a time there was a little short four out of tell you guy that had a third rate podcast and he had the sniffles. Oh it's you, it'll hard. It's supposed to be him. Hey, it's not a man cold, okay, it's just sniffles. Plus, it didn't help that I had like two really hot coffees with paleos. I was cream two coffees while ago Got my head running a little bit because it was warm. Anyway, I hope you had a great Christmas. I trust it. Your, your lives were good and well and got to spend a little time with yourself, reflecting or talking to the good Lord or with family. However you spend it. I'm glad you're spending your time now with us because God love you.

Speaker 1: 2:35

So let's do rituals and let's, because this is actually despite my sniffing and everything else. This is going to be kind of an important show. So let's get the fun stuff out of the way first. So rituals got your coffee, beer, wine, gin, whatever. You got A rum cake. That could be, if it's done, bread pudding.

Speaker 1: 2:56

Dude, I had a thing the other day. It was bread pudding made. The bread was cinnamon rolls. Shoot your mouth, I. Can't they not Stupid good, oh my God, it was so good. They were proud of it. It wasn't cheap but it was delicious.

Speaker 1: 3:13

Whatever you got, if you got that, something, something, something out there. You want to go, do you? Do you as we? I remind you, we don't talk about tequila enough, as y'all remind me. And we, when we talk about scotch, we don't talk about scotch because Scott sucks.

I think I'm always going to pull everything off every social media. If you can't find me on true social, you ain't going to find me, because these are my, this is my tribe. So we had a bunch of new followers joining us over there in the past couple of 2448 hours. I'm going to try to list a handful of them.

There are many, many more, but thank all y'all. I'm so excited to have you with us here. I hope you get a chance to hear the episode here. Your name was all out. All the same, I do appreciate and thank you.

Speaker 1: 5:43

As we continue to grow, our numbers have been stupid good y'all. The last episode or so that we did, the many thousands of downloads. We're a third rate. I thank you for all the same. So there, that is. So, as I sniff in your ears, I do apologize. All right, so let's talk about this. So Christmas is. I don't wanna say it's over because I'm still playing Christmas music, but it's fading fast.

Speaker 1: 6:06

New Year's is coming up and people make resolutions that they don't keep in New Year's, because that's what you do. So let's make some that we can keep and will keep. Okay, we all know the term fuck around and found out. Okay, the fuck around is directly proportional to the amount of finding out. You fuck around 10%, you'll find out 10%. You fuck around 80%, you find out 80%, et cetera. Okay, for the past seven years almost eight, deep state and all that bunch and everything else and the people that pull the puppets, strings and all that time, food and everything be fucking around. This is the year that the finding out will be occurring. Okay, airquote or presidential air quote, election end of quote. You wanna call an election? Knock yourself out. But here is what I hypothesize and I ain't gonna blow my horn because I'm not that smart, but JB's track record ain't too shabby.

Speaker 1: 7:32

On the predictions, I like to predict All right, we are not a news agency, as you well know, even though that everybody wants to list us as a news agency. I think that's so. They can bounce us off their channel, their platform, if we don't report accurate news, or it's an opinion thing at best Actually, it's not even that it's coffee talk At best. That's what we are. Okay, cause I'm just an idiot with a microphone, a third rate podcast host and thank God for my lovely third rate audience. That's what we are. We're just our little fam here. That's what we did. But I'm gonna predict and you make this prediction of whatever you want to, all right.

Speaker 1: 8:18

So there is no way when legacy media, those that suck the ass of the libtards are having to report now about the literal drumming that Biden's getting by Trump, trump's crushing everyone in pre-dawn polls. Okay, enough that. Well, just hold that thought. Yeah, I'm gonna say it, so I don't forget it. It's enough that if he's not leading all the way up to election time, people are gonna be screaming Tom Fullery, don't think that's a surprise to anyone.

Speaker 1: 9:06

Okay, there's no getting around it. Border policies have failed. Every executive order that President Piss Pants put into place on day one, when he wrapped the Capitol in a barbed wire to undo Trump's time in office, has failed miserably. Because when it's your goal to snatch, you know, victory away from the jaws of defeat and feed defeat a whole nation, that's what you do. You stop drilling, you raise the price of insulin. You do all that bullshit he did, and America's tired of it. Nobody's believing the bullshit anymore.

Speaker 1: 9:56

Okay, so the short answer is one of two things. This is the only big arc strategy that there is. There's either accept the Trump win and crank up everything behind the scenes like they did before with the fake impeachments and all that stuff, or they've got to put a fix in where he cannot win that election this time, whether it be cheating at the ballot boxes again, manipulating the elections, put a bullet through his head. Yeah, I said it, that's an option. I'm not saying this is what I prefer, and I do know it'd be a tumbling of Jericho's walls, but they're going to have to do something. Okay, so let's talk about where we're at, though, in the interim of all this, because we got a year to survive this stupid. Whatever this stupid is Okay, and this is where be sipping on your drinks. We need to have adult talk for a second, okay.

Speaker 1: 10:59

So, as you will know out there, in what Colorado? They've said no, no, trump on no ballot. This is going to go to the Supreme Court. Colorado's Supreme Court said nope, ain't gonna do that, you're insurrectionist, blah, blah, and it goes to our Supreme Court. I predict that the Supreme Court will knock this down and that, even if they don't, that because Gavin Newsom in California has already said we don't do stuff like that, we're not going to. We're not going to pull Trump off the ballot, we're just going to beat him in the elections. That's how Californians are. We just, we just picked the winner. Okay.

Speaker 1: 11:38

So they're already shying away from this narrative and here's why they got people locked up. They got 86ers locked up. They've had three years to push the idea of insurrection on Trump and thrust that idea up on him. Ie all MAGA people, ie basically 80% of the country. While they get to beat him up financially and try to screw his life, they teach you to shut up and stay in your lane. You're not going to pull for Trump. You're not going to sit there and go MAGA. You're not going to do first and second amendment. You're going to. We're going to control everything You're going to. That's why we did it with jabs and everything. You're going to. Shut the fuck up. All right, eat your gruel. Shut the fuck up. That's where they're at.

Speaker 1: 12:33

They cannot let this become an insurrection. They've tried it in the narrative. They've. I mean, it's all they've talked about for three years. Okay, they faked that thing. It was an inside job. We're seeing more and more of that every day. We just now I mean, this is the end of 2023.

Speaker 1: 12:50

It took two and three quarter years, almost three years, to get the J6 tapes released. Okay, they need this to unwind, and here is why they know that Trump goes back in that office Still uncover this thing. It'll take him a year or two, but he'll put all the right people in place that will do justice, that will do investigation, that will do everything else you got to do, and they're going to sit there and find out there was, in fact, an insurrection and it was the Democrats. Well, buddy, let me tell you something the price for that is heavy. We're talking firing squad heavy, and they've got to quit talking about insurrection and that it was an insurrection, because the Trump gets in there, despite their fuck, where they're going to do the backgrounds and try to screw everything up, hold things up and do all the typical foolishness that they do. It'll get out there and when that word insurrection is tied to them and you get a justice department that will actually serve justice. They don't want any part of that. Oh, they do not. And, to wit, they have even more impetus to make sure that Trump does not get back in that White House by hook or by crook, as well as make you shut the fuck up.

Speaker 1: 14:33

There will be a black swan event big time. It'll be bad the way they keep pumping the Hamas supporters in this country up and everything else. They will try to go and race bait heavily this year, because they always do that crap the Democrats do In a perfect world. Society snaps and they lock the country down and I put it past none of them to do. They're importing people left and right over that southern border. There's no telling how many terrorist cells are here and active in this country right now and they are literally ignoring it like they did hunters laptop and there will be a rift and a tear and God knows how much blood spilled, and it'll be where we all fighting each other or something to that effect. Banks collapse. They'll be doing the solid green, bringing food to your door and you will stay your ass inside. It'll be bad. It will be very, very bad. That's not really even a prediction. It's. The only hope they've got now is utter chaos and lockdown, rather than a fair election in peaceful transfer of power.

Speaker 1: 16:05

So this conversation is about this. With 2024 coming up, here's what we are going to do. I'm going to make some changes to how I do things online, in the web, the podcast. I need you to spread the word to everybody you know that will listen to this tribe of mine so that we can be connected and networked all of us, each of us together, patriots. We're going to need that communication to the point of physical mailing addresses where we can mail things back and forth or however we have to do it. Smoke signals, I don't know Soup cans with a straight tie between it, something I need.

Speaker 1: 17:00

Each of you, if you live in a city or the suburbs or God for bless you if an apartment or something like that Try to get out, try to do anything you can to spend a year with your cousin in the country or something, if possible, no matter who you are, no matter what that is. I want each and every one of you to do this. If you don't already have it and aren't already trained with it, way and ways to protect yourself and your family, make it happen. You don't need that latte that much at Starbucks, wherever the fuck you go? You don't, you can find the resources to do it. Help, for that matter. Take a second job if you have to. Everybody needs a good bug out bag and a plan and in your pantries, beans, band-aids, bullets, bible Make it happen right now and water.

Speaker 1: 18:28

If you got prescription meds, kindly speak to your doctor and ask if they will add extensions to your prescriptions so you can double and triple up on them and have them. I understand, if you're on certain pain medications, why they won't do that, but ask if there are really good OTC alternatives. That are there. Look into herbal remedies if you have to. Some of those things are fantastic. They're natural painkillers that will shock you how well they work, that are legal and won't hurt you or anything else. Self-medicate with that kind of stuff. Learn a little bit of first aid.

Speaker 1: 19:13

Get yourself a handheld ham radio. They've got them. I mean, they're 20, 25 bucks on Amazon. Okay, they're not great, but they work. If nothing else, you can listen and monitor. If you don't want one that broadcasts and I'm going to tell you when the chips fall down, nobody's checking the broadcasting license Okay, keep guessing your car.

Speaker 1: 19:42

At all times they keep. You had a little slip. These are non-negotiable. And when I say beans and band-aids and all that, I'm talking about a year's supply. So we'll talk about two months, three months, six months, whatever. Get a year's supply, go ahead and do it. It's cheap to do actually. You'd be surprised. You can do it yourself. You'd be surprised what dollar stores keep and you know you're not talking about great, great food. You're talking about heavy carbs, a lot of macaroni and cheese stuff like that Rice. But it keeps. Beans will keep a long time dried. All you do is suck them overnight and boil them next morning. You can put them in the same water and boil them, doesn't matter. Okay, conserve water.

Speaker 1: 20:39

We have a sponsor that we never have pushed. Patriot supplies a partner of the show. The link is generally always in the show notes. Start using it. I think you get a discount anyway. You get a pretty good discount. Actually, oftentimes everyone specials. I will start actively watching that and I never have pushed a sponsor. But we don't make enough of it to call a sponsorship anyway, because they're not a sponsor. We're a partner with them. So affiliate is what it is. So, but I'm going to start talking that up so that it's more obvious to use it. You'll easily. Do it, get it, use it, click on it every time and use it. I get a thing from them where I can pick out what I want to point you to, or what the latest and greatest discounts are and stuff, and I can find those and I'll try to make sure the link or links, always point to those things.

Speaker 1: 21:32

If you're not a good old boy like I am, and you need other supplies like water filtration or little camping stoves or something like that, fire starters and such, they've got stuff like that too, not just food. Get enough for you and your neighbors and then some. And here's why, when shit goes sideways, food is money. Yeah, it's money. You got a batteries. Give somebody a pack of potatoes, instant potatoes. Trade with them. It's a bartering, silver and gold. Get some of that.

Speaker 1: 22:09

If you're going to keep hard cash, keep small hard cash. It's a bitch to keep up with it. A single hundred dollar bill is a whole lot easier to carry than a hundred ones. But if somebody's got a loaf of bread and you want to buy it and all you got is a hundred dollar bill, well, buddy, we don't have any change. Give me the hundred dollar bill, okay. So try to keep small money with you. Real silver and gold is great.

Speaker 1: 22:38

If you need to find the place, a hidey hole, and bury it, it's okay, do your thing. Hand crank radio batteries, everything. Get everything hand cranked, all right. A small solar kid is good, with a rechargeable system If you need that for your house. If you got enough propane, enough way to store gas, get a whole home system or whatever. If you need is to do whatever, and blackout curtains are handy as well.

Speaker 1: 23:08

I believe that is it is. We will talk more on this as time moves forward, but I want us to start thinking about 2024. Not trying to be Debbie Downer, but I think we just owe it to ourselves to survive this, and I think we owe it to ourselves to be the ones to be around to maintain and or rebuild our great nation and the way she was meant to be maintained in the first place. Screw these sons of bitches. We will take care of ourselves. We will take care of our own. Okay, in the meantime, I want you guys to be happy and healthy and wise and savvy and wonderful and great and everything else that you are. We are.

Speaker 1: 23:59

My third rate audience are the meek, and we shall inherit this We'll inherit the earth in the good way, not necessarily in the bad way. That, maybe biblical, was kind of interesting. I like that. We're going to do it right because we're going to save this for our children, our children's children and their kids and those, their kids and their kids and their kids and their kids, your neighbors kids. We are going to survive this, but be ready, because you're going to get up one morning and your money is going to be worthless and all hell is going to break loose and there's going to be fighting in the streets and we're going to let them fight it out and we are going to be safe, sound, ready to go for round two and we're going to carry that flag high and we're going to save America. I give you my word on that.

Speaker 1: 24:57

That being said, I hope I'll talk to you for the new year. I'll get some of this stuff built in the background, like I talked about, and promise you Again. Thank you if you're a new listener. Usually they're a little more lighthearted than this, but right now we're going to take care of our own. We're going to have big folk talk and that's what we're doing right now. Hug your kids, take good care of them. Raise them right, teach them what Liberty is all about. I'm your buddy JB, your humble host of America's number one third rate podcast, gives zero. Good luck America.
