Farmers Under Fire: Exposing Government Overreach and Media Bias
Government overreach is an ever-present threat to our freedoms. This episode of the Live Free Die Last Podcast uncovers the systemic challenges that local farmers face due to oppressive governmental regulations and unchecked overdevelopment. Join us, John Connor, Josh, and Travis Sunday, as we expose the economic pressures and regulatory overreach that threaten the very existence of family-run farms, while large agribusinesses thrive. We highlight a harrowing case in Harford County where a local farmer endured severe penalties and confiscations, illustrating the broader struggle against authoritarian mandates.
As if that wasn't enough, we also question the reliability of mail-in ballots and voting machines, shedding light on the erosion of free speech and the influence of powerful figures like George Soros on our judiciary. Our conversation is designed to provoke thought and action, urging our community to maintain faith and remain vigilant against government tyranny. We dissect the role of media manipulation and AI-generated content in shaping public perception, and emphasize the dangers of disinformation silencing conservative voices.
Finally, we emphasize the necessity of unity, personal responsibility, and the right to bear arms in safeguarding our freedoms. This episode invites all liberty seeking individuals to attend our next monthly meeting with guest speaker Dave Pridgen, a local activist dedicated to the cause of liberty, who will be joining our upcoming meetings at the on September 18th. Together, we aim to inspire and educate our community on protecting family and freedom. Don't miss out on this crucial discussion about the fight for individual rights and self-determination.

Speaker 4:A lot of work goes into the newsletter. It does, it does and the big thing coming up. I know we took off the summer with our monthly meetings, but they're kicking back off in September and we got some good meetings coming up. It'll be September the 18th, and at 7 pm, 7 pm, and then the following month in October would be the 16th at 7 pm. Basically, it's the third Wednesday of the month and both are at the Hartford Vineyard and Winery.
Speaker 3:Which is a beautiful venue and you're able to buy wine and cheese and good stuff while we're there, yep. Just have a good time. I would say that the local vineyard is run by a Hartford County farmer, yep. We appreciate him very much.
Speaker 4:And we're excited about this meeting in September. We've, you know, kind of come together and we understand the need for liberty. You know our freedom moving forward and I think that's what our focus is on. You know we're an educational group, but also we want to make sure that we inspire people and we educate them on ways that they can protect themselves, protect their family and protect liberty in itself.
Speaker 3:Amen, I don't think we talk about this enough. Freedom, folks, freedom. Freedom means being able to do things without a great deal of government influence. We want a very small government, a government that is not intruding into our lives. We're all grownups here. We can make our own decisions. Amen, government needs to know their role and stay in their lane, and I think what's happening is they are just growing and growing and they don't understand their role. We elect people that don't know what the government's role in our lives is.
Speaker 3:Was it Ben Franklin that said those who would deny liberty for safety deserve neither yes or essential liberty what he said in modern days is those who would trade safety for liberty are little bitches. That's what he would have said if he was around now.
Speaker 2:I seem to remember seeing a T-shirt with that on there.
Speaker 3:Interesting, good slogan.
Speaker 4:And for September, the speaker we have lined up coming out and presenting what's awesome is he's a local guy. He's from Hartford County, lives here, but he does a lot of work nationally.
Speaker 2:Wait, travis Ben Franklin, oh I wish we could get Ben, but you know, Pretty darn close, pretty darn close. It's Dave Pridgen. Dave Pridgen, yeah, he's a. He was a tea party guy, a local, local activist, did a lot during the tea party, uh, formed some local groups and now he is training people around the world to be activists, um, through the foundation.
Speaker 3:And he loves freedom, he loves freedom, he loves freedom.
Speaker 2:He eats, breathes and sleeps.
Speaker 3:He's very inspirational, I got to tell you. If you haven't heard Dave speak, he makes the hair when your back of your neck stand up. It is amazing. He is a great speaker. It is worth coming out for this. He doesn't do this type of thing for people because he's extremely busy. He takes his time and does it because he under for us, because he understands how important Liberty is, and you know he's. He's a local.
Speaker 2:And the the best. The greatest thing I like about Dave is that he's an encourager.
Speaker 3:You always you will leave feeling upbeat and good.
Speaker 2:Right and and and it's real you start reading all this stuff and and reading about who, what our politicians are doing to us and what they're not doing. You know when they should be standing up and doing stuff and they don't, or or when they uh it's. It's just terrible, it's demoralizing, and I think that's where they want us to be. They want us to be hopeless and helpless, and woe is me, there's nothing I can do. They want us to just give up and grab the ankles and accept whatever crap that they're going to foist on us, and for our own benefit.
Speaker 2:For the good of the majority Put the mask on.
Speaker 3:What did Larry say? Just wear the damn mask Right, lock down Larry.
Speaker 4:You look at it, you know, in the big picture, people that are relying on the government to give them things and, to, you know, give them solutions in life, they're heading down the wrong path, and I think that's the one thing that we're going to learn, you know, at the next winery meeting on the 19th or the 18th of September is, you know, we need to stand up for ourselves. You know it's not just you and I, you know. You look at your family. The father has a role, the mother has a role. You know we all have a role in this. And to rely on elected officials and big government to really step in and dictate how you're going to live your life, that's that cannot happen and that's not how we were established as a country, but also not how we were established, as you know, a human being, I'm going to take it one step further and say it will not happen.
Speaker 3:There are many of us who understand freedom, who were born free, and you're going to have to kill us if you don't like our freedom Absolutely.
Speaker 2:Well, if they hate us for our freedom at this point, shouldn't it only be like a mild dislike If that Because we've taken so much?
Speaker 3:Yeah, who was the character that always used to say that? Sean Hannity, they hate us for our freedom. Sure, sure, sean Thatannity they hate us for our freedom. Sure, sure, sean. That's why they hate us. Maybe they hate us because you bomb their poor father in the oblivion.
Speaker 3:You overthrew their democratically elected government yeah, well, sean didn't, but yeah anyway. Um, we're talking about things, uh, with big government and all one of the things that really sticks out to me if you look at the worldwide situation in the name of control, and they try to say it's global warming, which has been disproven over and over. But you heard this thing, little cows fart, we've got to kill them all. This is an attack on farmers.
Speaker 4:Big, small, it doesn't matter, and the biggest problem is it's the local small farmers, the ones that are trying to produce for their families and the ones that are trying to produce for their local community is the scariest situation out of all this. Now we can talk about and I think we will talk about, you know, the big production manufacturing farms, but you know, looking at it, the day-to-day life of a farmer.
Speaker 3:it's not easy, it's not pretty in general, folks, the food that we're eating from the grocery store is making us sick and they know a lot of us are hip to this and you'll hear people say, oh, just shop on the outside aisles, don't go in the middle, and all that's good advice, because the processed foods are what's killing us. So, since we're all learning, they're going to take it up a notch and they're going to start infecting the meat and things that we get from the big farms. They're going to inject it with Myrna vaccine. They're going to inject the cattle, these big farms if you've ever visited one, it's kind of atrocious, it's sad, but we've got to be careful because animals are not pets. Farm animals are produce. They're to be, you know, processed, eaten. So you can't really apply the same standard that you applied to your beloved Rottweiler or Beagle. We have to be careful about that, that.
Speaker 3:But at the same time, I believe if the local farmers, if the big farms, these big mega farms, were held to the same standard that your local farms are, they would go out of existence. And I think the local farms they're trying to send. Look around harford county, go talk to farmers. I don't know how many you get to talk to. Not many of them are actually farming anything but beer anymore, um, because it's really too hard. A lot of, a lot of uh, dairy farms and things have gone under. I mean, it's been really difficult for these guys and a lot of it is due to over regulation.
Speaker 4:So that's the government that's causing these problems you know, and then you have the over development. You know the developers coming in and offering the sweet penny and they're just going to take that property and it can never be turned back into a farm or ever have that potential. Really again, um, I don't want to get out in the weeds on this too much, but do we want to kind of like touch base a little bit on some of the local stuff that's been going?
Speaker 3:on or transpiring. I think we should. I think we should. We're going to go back and forth between local and and federal here today so what's got?
Speaker 4:uh, you know us talking about this, um, again, visit our social media, our facebook page.
Speaker 4:We, the people of maryland, um, there's a series of videos that have come up, you know, and people have come out and kind of getting a little nasty, you know, attacking um each other on this.
Speaker 4:And really, where we're coming from is you know there's a local farm here that there were some issues with animal control in the sheriff's department. This has been going on for a while now and it just seems like it's a fight against each other instead of protecting the society or local community. And what happened was this farmer has gotten many violations, write-ups, many visits from animal control for his animals, and he's come out and he's explained this. So that's why I invite everybody, without playing all the videos here and kind of getting into the weeds on this visit our Facebook page and read that information. You know we're trying to provide, you know all aspects of the information going on with this, but basically, his animals were confiscated because the government told him we don't like the way that you're managing your property and it's going to cost you thousands upon thousands of the dollars to comply with what we want you to do.
Speaker 3:Right, it's one of the things that it looks like the government's making this guy do is have a vet come visit every one of his animals and talk to any farmer. Uh, that's not cost effective in farms, or or or an economic decisions. They make decisions based on economics and that's the way it should be. I understand that people love animals I love animals too, but these are not your pets, okay, and I'm not saying that they should be mistreated, but keep in mind standards like that. A PETA would have a very different standard. Now they get mad if you swat a fly.
Speaker 3:So we've got to be very careful when we just start throwing mandates at these people and putting them out of business because they're trying to. They're trying to. The globalists want to put all these people out of business. So when the local folks help them, it's really disturbing, especially in Hartford County, where the local government kind of gives off this farm vibe and we love farmers and all these things, and I think what they love is farmers' votes, because you know they turn some of the ag preservation stuff where they buy a farmer's rights to his land so he doesn't have the right to sell it. It would be really simple just to say you know what, mr developer, that you just purchased this big farm. Guess what? That's zoned agriculture and it's staying. But that's really hard to keep your, your county councilman to do that when they're being funded by the very developer that bought the land and wants payback it takes them them to have a spine.
Speaker 4:You know testicular fortitude. In a situation like that, to say no, I'm not going to do this.
Speaker 3:And generally jellyfish, inhabit the government Absolutely.
Speaker 2:Well, how much of a role do you think Karens play in this? And my apologies to you, a huge role, karens, nice Karens, good Karens, everywhere. But I feel like a lot of these people come up from the city or from the, from the burbs, and they buy a nice piece of property next to a dairy farmer or, you know, a chicken farm.
Speaker 4:And they realize.
Speaker 2:Oh man, these, these animals make noise all night long. Or you know, there's there's a rooster crows at five o'clock. I don't want to get it, I don't want to hear all that in the morning. Man, it stinks, it smells Right.
Speaker 3:And then they go and make complaints like oh, animal cruelty. It would be just like if the farmer started calling on you across the street saying I see little kids going in and out. They're a pedophile.
Speaker 2:The cops are going to have to investigate that, or people that move near an airport and complain about jet noise it's like come on, guys, I feel like some of this rests on us as ordinary citizens, to reject that impulse to resist that impulse Travis. Yes, First time something. Oh man, this bothers me. I need to impose my will on this person by force, you know, either by calling the police or or just being a jerk to your name yeah like I'm, I'm not, I'm not like fond of the the live and let live, you know, but but it's kind of that.
Speaker 2:It's like, hey, this guy, this guy's got his property, he's not bothering you, he's not, he's not pumping manure onto your property he was here first too.
Speaker 3:He was here first. Right, his operation was ongoing.
Speaker 2:If you didn't like it, you have a choice not to move there and that's not to say if he's doing something that's affecting your drinking water or something like that 100. Obviously, there's limits to everything, but, but what I'm saying, though, is is like, as as people are, as people, do we have this entitled mentality? Do we have this feeling like we are entitled not to be offended? Are we entitled not to be butthurt? About something Right. Let me tell you something Sometimes you've got to suck it up, buttercup. That's the way life is.
Speaker 3:Let's take this one more step. What happens, cup, that's the way life is. Let's take this one more step. What happens? The local farmer is going down the road with his hay wagon, behind his tractor, at seven o'clock in the morning and you're late for work and you're pissed and you're behind him and all you see is red. Take a step back, calm down. The farmer has a right to travel on the roads. He needs to do these things and, by the way, the guy driving that tracker he might be an older gentleman with grandkids, things like that. He doesn't want to die either. So be careful on roads. Give them respect and understand that what they're doing is feeding us and helping us survive. We need them.
Speaker 4:Right, looking at it in one way, when you talk about the government's input on this, so if you think about it as land's being developed, so you have this neighborhood coming into any farm right next to it. That farmer he's getting tax breaks because his property's zoned agriculture, so the government's not getting as much money from him. But the next door neighbors there's 10, 15, 20, 200 houses there that every single one of them is paying property tax, income tax, they're paying taxes. So the way that the government looks at it is well, these people are worth this much more to me than this person is worth to me, and that's the wrong place to go. They're representatives of us. They're not here to govern us and that's a disturbing thing that they yes, the power surge.
Speaker 2:We're not.
Speaker 3:The citizens are not here to be a revenue stream right for their pet projects, right and let me, before the folks that you know just built the big neighborhood across the street from the farm call the local government and say govern me harder, baby. Listen, you gotta really think about this. I personally want to see where my food comes from. I want to know the guy that's taking care of this that he's not putting bad chemicals and things in, and the only way I'm going to do that is if we have local farmers. Now I know there's a whole section of society that goes oh, my food comes from the grocery store. All right, look, I get that they're trying to grow tumors in the meat and labs and things, but a lot of us aren't going to eat that stuff. We're looking for wholesome foods, and to do that you're going to need farmers, because guess what happens All you folks if you run the farmers out of town.
Speaker 4:I'm going to eat your pets.
Speaker 3:Because I know you take good care of them. Peter, that's a joke.
Speaker 4:But no kind of looping back around to this specific situation. I think we looked at it on a global scale. We looked at it nationally, locally, and just what it means to us to have good food, quality, sustained food in our food supply is the fact that you know and again I invite everybody to go to the Facebook page, start researching this specific case of you know, the farmer in Hartford County that got his property seized, his animal seized from him. If you really look at it, it started out, you know, years ago, but here, locally, it's becoming, you know, more and more information. People are talking about this, you know, because the sheriff showed up one day with animal control, you know, and you know, confiscated these animals. There was video coverage of this. There was information coming out on social media and social media is. It's a tough world to live, you know it's a sheriff sheriff's deputies, not the sheriff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the sheriff's deputies in just for clarification.
Speaker 4:in Harper County the animal control falls under the duties of the sheriff's department or the sheriff's office. So there's a bunch of information coming out and then you had WMAR channel to come out and do an interview, you know, just providing more and more information. This is such a such an organic situation where the information is coming out but it's happening so fastly because of the requests that animal control are giving this local farmer. You know, within 24 hours you have to do all of this. You know, and he's an older gentleman that's literally renting or borrowing the dump truck from his next door neighbor to run and get supplies really quick and working in the middle of the night trying to appease this it's and it's my understanding.
Speaker 2:He has another full-time job right, exactly not his. Farming is not his only profession.
Speaker 3:Let's go where you just said one of the standards, one of the things they're making him do is bring a. This is what we understand. Please, please, know this. I'm going to say this up front to those of you who don't think we, the people, investigates things. You're full of it. We spend a lot of time investigating things. How do you think we get so much information? Obviously, we are still working on this particular one, um, and we are investigating further, but from what we've heard from the gentleman right now, I have no reason to believe he's lying is that they have demanded that he bring a vet to see all of the animals on his farm. That is not reasonable. That is applying, like a homeowner, pet standards to a farmer. You go in and see a farm and look at all the cows out there. You're going to have a vet come and look at each one.
Speaker 4:That's utterly ridiculous cows out there, you're gonna have a vet come and look at each one. That's utterly ridiculous. Well, and they keep bringing up pets, but actually there was one of the goats that was this gentleman's grandson's pet that was hand-fed from birth. Um, so again, you know, we take it back both sides. What's going on, you know, is very questionable and the information that's coming out, you know people say, oh, you're a conspiracy theorist. For, you know, thinking that the you know, this confiscation of these animals is not, is not okay. You know, hold on, guys. What's the information that we need to get out of here?
Speaker 4:Because immediately after all these videos started surfacing on social media, you know, we had the sheriff put out a press release on this situation. Obviously, he was pressured into doing this and again, I'm not here to bash anybody or call them out. I will say that you've done something wrong and in this instance, I have a lot of questions about the press release that was sent out and what does that do for the community? Because if you look at it and I'm not trying to do some Josh knees here, but if you really look at this, this is an ongoing investigation. Number one, according to the sheriff's press release, he's asking for more information about this. Great, I would like to see all the information that's coming out.
Speaker 4:But in this press release it was borderline defamation, um, against this local farmer, you know, basically airing out the sheriff's laundry that he has against you know, or what's the case is on an ongoing investigation and I'm going to clarify it a little bit further because us, as citizens, during the murder and investigation of rachel moran, we were asking these same things and it was. This is an open investigation. We'd have no information. We have no information, but now we're talking about how the court cases, the dates of incidents that were happening, the times that they were being visited. It's like airing all this out, trying to get the community up against this guy and playing this out in the court, but at the court of Facebook, facebook, and that's not the best place for our community to live in.
Speaker 4:It's not the best place for us to work together, if we could ever do that with our local government. Because this is not. This is an attack of government versus a farmer, versus common citizens.
Speaker 3:Very well said, very well said well, and here's.
Speaker 2:Here's the other thing that kind of bothers me the people calling us conspiracy theorists. Conspiracy just means two or more people are involved. There's nothing about the word conspiratorial conspiracy. That means that it's false or fake or not true.
Speaker 3:In fact, if conspiracies keep coming true at the rate they are, there won't be any more coming true at the rate they are there won't be anymore.
Speaker 2:But my beef with the people that are saying, well, you need to back off and it's like no, I don't think so. We're private citizens and we're seeking to get at the truth and we are not the ones that came onto somebody else's private property armed and took their private property. We did not seize anybody's private property. We haven't said anything authoritatively that well, this is definitely how this is. We're saying, hey, look at this, this doesn't look good. And the onus is not on us to prove anything. The onus is on the people, the armed agents of the state, that are coming to this man's property, on private property and taking his stuff.
Speaker 3:Let's take this one step further. If you don't think for a minute, when they make you wear masks and things like that, that this sheriff's department going to back that up, you're crazy. They already arrested someone at the polling place for wearing a mask. Um, when, when wes moore tells them to come seize your farm animals or come put a mask on your face or come get your guns, I don't want these guys to obey, but they have given me no reason to believe that they won't.
Speaker 4:You know, looking at it more on a global kind of stand. We've seen this happen time and time again throughout history, but most recently you look at Europe. You know the simple fact that the government was taxing them and making it to the point where they were not profitable, they couldn't take care of their families, they were destroying their farmland. Yeah, you saw the revolt. You know the past couple of years where they were literally taking manure spreaders to government buildings and driving down I'm not saying, that's what we need to do right now, but I'm saying Probably a long time ago, saying probably a long time ago, if you think about it.
Speaker 4:Our founding fathers, you know they were pissed about what a three percent tax increase, or, you know, minimal tax increase. Now we're talking about the farmlands being taxed.
Speaker 4:They can't afford to produce foods they want to kill all the animals they want to yes, they want to kill all the animals, and our founding fathers got upset with just a tiny little bit of money increase. It was a lot of money to them back in the day, but we look at what's happening to us today Because they believed in freedom, yep, and that's what I think. You know. The motive, not the motive, but the mantra is here. You know, we're looking at the freedom that we're going to educate people with at the next winery meeting next month, on September the 18th. We're talking about it today, but what it happens to be is all of us coming together in a common theme and a common fight that said we have liberty, we have freedom and we're here to protect that.
Speaker 3:And not only that, travis. I want you to tell the people about these things. When you cheerlead for the government to take someone else's rights, to take someone else's property, that could be you next, just because you don't think that something's being done right.
Speaker 2:You have to be very, very careful what you wish for and even if you think, okay, well, yeah, I've looked at, I've informed myself, I've looked at the facts and you know I don't agree with you, but shouldn't be cheerleading over it. It should be a very sad, somber moment that that happened and um. It's got to be pretty egregious to take someone's property that's their livelihood right and and right now I mean from what I I've seen and read and seen with my own eyes you know, don't believe your own lying eyes, but what I've seen from my own eyes on this property, I just I don't, I don't know that.
Speaker 3:I believe that this was this heavy handed approach, was, was necessary not only that, but the standards that are being applied are are ridiculous. It is ridiculous to require someone, a farmer, to have a vet visit all of his animals.
Speaker 2:That that is utterly ridiculous well, and a lot of it's about control and you you look at it's, it goes back. You know, some of us that have been involved in homeschooling since before, you know they would come up with crazy regulations for homeschool. And I you know if, if you want to stop something, you you regulate it. You you tell you know, hey well, if you're going to homeschool, then if you're going to operate a school in your home, then you need to have a handicap bathroom and you need to have a fire suppression system in your house and a license as soon as you know.
Speaker 4:a little bit more tax money, right?
Speaker 2:yeah, you need to be certified by the state.
Speaker 3:You need to check in with us every you know quarterly and yeah, go to hell, that's right, that's what we're telling you government. Go to hell but I?
Speaker 2:but I want to. I want to. I want to hit on something that you were talking about earlier, about how we need to come together, and and I know, you know we're conservative, we're kind of partisan and partisan and we pick on people, and sometimes it's in good fun when we call people, you know, we call Jessica soiled bottles and we call Buford T Gaylor. A lot of that's in good fun. But I think what you need to realize, though, is that politicians like to divide people. They want us fighting with each other. Politicians like to divide people. They want us fighting with each other.
Speaker 2:It's like the old I'm dating myself, but the Wizard of Oz, where they're saying don't pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. And you've got this little guy flipping the switches behind the curtain and he's portraying himself as this big, all-powerful, omnipotent person that can control their life, and he's got all these people fighting with each other. You know, he gets the blacks fighting with the whites, the whites with the blacks, the rich against the poor, the poor against the rich. You know, pick your issue, insert issue here, and they get. They want us fighting with each other because when we're fighting with each other, we're not paying attention to the bad crap that the state is doing to all of us. We're not paying attention to the taxes, to the control, the stuff they're doing.
Speaker 2:Destruction of our food sources, our freedom and we're too busy fighting with each other Infecting our children with dangerous vaccines that are not proven. Pick your poison, but when we're fighting with each other, we we are not. You know we. You can disagree on your issues, but when it comes to the state, we all need to share a healthy distrust of the state and we need to be united when it comes to government state stepping on people and and yeah, so.
Speaker 3:So, with that said, it's just like the vaccines if you love them and you think they're great, no one's stopping you from getting them. Don't insist that your neighbor gets them too. In fact, why would you do that? If you think they're so great and they stop, they save you and you've got them. Feel sorry for your neighbor, then that you know he's not going to be able to infect you. You got vaccinated. What's the point? The problem?
Speaker 4:Well, I think that's a big topic.
Speaker 4:Kind of what you're leading into is, you know, the media gaslighting people, but then, also, what is, you know, technology, when you add technology to the media, you know, to the, their power hungerness, you know and to their ability to sway people's thoughts, you know what talking about is. You know, ai, you know we had to throw that into the mix now, and it's not just the media being the media, as we all know, we don't trust them but what is being fed and what can artificially be created? It looks real, it sounds real, but it's just propaganda. It's again back to your point of um, you know, behind the curtain that's what it is.
Speaker 3:It's another form of gaslighting the people yep and and now they want to tell you. You know, the government wants to be in control. They want to be the official source of information so they can gaslight you at this point. Does anybody believe they care about your well-being?
Speaker 2:and gaslighting is you. You know, for those of you it's kind of a new term, but gaslighting is basically a phenomenon where somebody is convincing you that what you know to be true, what you see with your own eyes and observe in your own life, that's not true. You're crazy for believing that. That's what gaslighting is.
Speaker 4:That's not true. You're crazy for believing that. That's what gaslighting is. It's like Elon Musk and Donald Trump interview on Twitter. You have all these people coming out now that basically want them to remove this from the internet and remove this from existence. They had a fit that these two people talked and broadcasted. They wanted the government to um step in and basically create this. The new term is disinformation disinformation again. It's a cycle. We've heard it before. Now we're hearing it again. Anything that's coming out of a conservative's mouth is disinformation, according to the democrats. Yeah well, I'm sorry you're lying. You're done. Stop you. Think about it folks.
Speaker 3:they don't want you to hear a conversation between two people. They consider that dangerous. The only thing that's dangerous to is the government's narrative, and the problem is wake up. Your government's been lying to you for a very long time. That's why that conversation is dangerous. That is the only reason that conversation is dangerous. It threatens the control of the people that wish to control you.
Speaker 4:I want to bring up something you know. With all this gaslighting in the media you know the ai generated stuff I want to look at the presidential race. You know so a lot has happened since our last podcast. I mean I think right. You know we talked about donald trump's assassination attempt. We've talked about joe biden stepping down let's be careful.
Speaker 3:The assassination attempt on donald trump's life and I say that because ai listens there you go and then they try to learn, but
Speaker 3:my mind's going too quick yeah, I know josh is extremely intelligent and his mind works very fast. That's's why sometimes we say he speaks Joshanese, because he'll skip over details that you may not understand if you don't know him so well. But I don't call it AI. I think it's more like OG, official gaslighting. It's not intelligent, it's not learning If you've ever used it. Sure, it's impressive with some things, but there's other stuff where it's really dumb.
Speaker 4:I wanted to dive into a quick little story. So a couple of friends and I, last week or the week before, just started messing around with chat GTP and we asked the simple question of you know, I forget what the question was specifically. It was about did Kamala Harris joke about Donald Trump being assassinated? And I immediately came out and said no. Well, there was an interview back and I think it was 2018 or something one on a TV show where the topic was brought up and she made a comment. It was basically around, you know, if these three politicians, including Donald Trump, were, you know, in an airplane and jumped out. You know, and her whole thing was does any of them have to survive? You know? Again, I'm just giving you the basics, but what I'm talking about here is we talked to chat GTP, explained to them that, hey, this conversation happened on this interview in 2018.
Speaker 4:It acknowledged it, it acknowledged that it did and we took it one step further. We were like, ok, so you need to update your memory, acknowledge that it did. And we took it one step further and we were like, okay, so you need to update your memory and every time you're asked this question again, you're going to give the right answer, correct? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You go back a couple hours later, still get the wrong answer. Right, you know, you go back the next day, you're still getting the wrong answer.
Speaker 3:So you know they try to say It's't just willy nilly, something artificial that that learns on its own, it's programmed and it's happening so often in so many topics.
Speaker 4:I mean I laughed today when I saw you know this propaganda coming out. You know this, this gaslighting from Larry Hogan sent out a mailer that said you know, get out and vote, but make sure you're you know the mail in ballots are safe and safe and secure. I'm sorry, I was getting confused. I thought I was getting confused with the vaccine.
Speaker 4:That was safe and effective. Now we're safe and secure. So that's, we're now not allowed to question some of these things that are going on and why mail ballots are being mailed out to hundreds of thousands of people. You know there is a purpose for mail-in ballots, but that approach, again it's. It is a form of gaslighting, it's a form of division, because absolutely there's people like us that feel that, uh, voting, you need an id, you need a ballot, you fill it out, they should tell you and register it. You know we shouldn't wait days to see the results remember what I said before about like in good fun.
Speaker 2:You know, some of the nicknames we have for people are in good fun. Yeah some of them are I didn't mean that about larry hogan. Larry hogan actually is a human uh, horrible, horrible, terrible human being yeah, listen.
Speaker 3:So when they, when they do this, when when a guy like him, who's supposed to be a republican, comes out and talks about this, he's working for the other team folks. Mail-in ballots are not safe. They are not secure, in fact, voting in person is neither, but here's the difference. Okay, so they can program the machines and the machines can get online. In fact, no people that work on the machines and seen the modems. Anyway, what they want you to do when we vote in person, at least we show up and you get a really good idea when you're in this long, long line talking to people who they're voting for.
Speaker 3:So they don't want us to realize that the vote, that the election, has been stolen. So they need to try to make the appearance that when they change the ballots and the machines because, let's face it, you put a ballot in the machine you have no idea what happens when the lady at the voting machine that runs it says oh, we tested this morning. What they did is they ran a script and that script came back and said yeah, everything's OK. That doesn't mean that the machine's accurate. That means the machine's working the way that it was programmed to work Right. That's exactly what that means. So when you show up in person on that day in huge numbers and it's obvious who you're voting for, it makes it a hell of a lot harder. It scares those that would steal the election and and again.
Speaker 4:They're using this as a weapon against us, like this whole gaslighting, this whole. You know this voter, you know disinformation. I will use that. You know the information that the media is giving us about this, the media, the information that larry hogan is trying to, you know, put upon us. It is just gaslighting, it's not, it's, it's meaningless to us. You need to understand truly what's going on in the, in the, the ramifications of these bad decisions that government is making so can?
Speaker 3:I'm going to pile on larry hogan for a minute yes what was the press release from larry hogan when trump announced that j Vance was his vice presidential pick? Nothing, I think it was crickets. I had the wrong button there. It was crickets. Okay, he said nothing. Now a second that Kamala Harris introduced tampon Tim Waltz. Larry Hogan came out congratulating him and tell him everybody how wonderful this was. And uh, I'm sorry, larry hogan is not going to vote with republicans, he's not a republican, he's a power hungry whore.
Speaker 3:that's what larry hogan is apologies to uh prostitutes everywhere yes, exactly, I didn't mean to demean you by associating with Larry Hogan.
Speaker 4:But again, you know, as we've been saying, this is all the stuff they want to do. They want us to be divided, confused, and they think that we're dumb. They really think that we are dumb, from the media to the politicians, to the whole system itself. You know, whether it be here in the United States, against our local, in the national government, but also look at it internationally. You know these people, they don't care where their money's coming from, that it's coming off of the citizens. They do not care. It's what they want and what they feel is best, and whatever they feel is best it's not good. So what's best? For who Exactly?
Speaker 2:You know, for their money.
Speaker 3:Can.
Speaker 2:I digress back to a bash on Hogan again here wait, let me hand you the bat. Was it 2020 or 2021? My memory fails me. These days, you guys are going to be wiping my rear end in the next five years.
Speaker 3:I'm falling apart here. Well, if we don't do it right, the sheriff's department will confiscate you from us.
Speaker 2:Just sleep me up, break one of my legs and set me up in the front yard and maybe one of the trucks will come by and get me.
Speaker 2:But going back to the beginning of, of the pandemic, before the, before the lockdowns, I remember, uh, you know, for a while now, my, my, my white, it was 20 20 because it was covid 19 oh actually the lockdowns and stuff really didn't hit till 21 so, right before the log lockdowns, um, my, my wife likes to go, mrs sunday likes to go to see the, uh, cherry blossoms in dc and I remember some places were beginning to lock down and there was there was talk of that in maryland and and you know, kind of looked like it was heading in that direction. So we we wanted to get down there before it was too late to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom. And I remember going down there and I remember seeing helicopters flying around watching everybody and and we got down there. You know it was five or six in the morning.
Speaker 2:We got down there very, very early but there were a lot of people kind of had the same thing in mind and I remember everyone without fail. You know everyone was very respectful to each other. They were very respectful of everyone's personal space. You walk down like a paved sidewalk and people would go 10 feet around you, 10, 15, 20 feet around you just to avoid Cause you know they were always already spooling up the fear and putting that out on the airwaves that you know. Hey, this is dangerous.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think at that time they were showing videos on YouTube of Chinese people spinning around and falling down and dying on the pavement.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so and this was before the mask debate even was going on but I remember seeing some people wearing masks and masks, but I just remember everyone gave you know if you walked up to somebody going in the opposite direction. Everybody gave each other a wide berth, and I know it seems like I'm way off the topic here.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it does.
Speaker 2:But I have a point, and the reason I'm telling you this is because I just remember thinking, man, people are super courteous, like we're going to get through this, and then the next day I heard Larry Hogan scolding people in a press release for going you know, gathering in this large group at the Cherry Blossoms large group at the cherry blossoms, and you know all all the reports from the people up in the helicopters that saw us all gathered together. But what was on the ground at, at the human level was, was a very different picture who the hell is the government to criticize us for gathering together?
Speaker 3:I'll dare you, larry hogan, I'll dare you right. You, hogan, I'll dare you Right, you were probably gathering with children, yep, well, it's to build on this, based on what he associates himself with.
Speaker 4:You got Tampon Tim, as we mentioned. You know they were one in the same. You know Larry Hogan was. I guess he was the head of the governors or whatever.
Speaker 2:National Governors Association, NAGS for short.
Speaker 4:You had Larry H hogan, you know, put out a, um, a hotline to rat on your neighbors for um, yeah, not being compliant peter right at home tim also did the same exact thing.
Speaker 3:They'd have been right at home in nazi germany. They would have been moved right to the top, next to hitler's henchmen well, and they also, you know, use propaganda.
Speaker 4:I can keep coming back to this. They use the lottery, to, you know, try to get you to get back. So if you got vaxxed, you go into a lottery now to win thousands of dollars, while they're stealing the money from us, you know, and that's where, um, you know, you look at all the situation. The government is, yes, they're responsible for money, but the money comes from the people and they constantly want to rob us of this money.
Speaker 4:So we talk about the local farmer with the vet. You know the government forcing him to spend so much money, that's a robbery. And they took his property and yes, and he doesn't even have his property anymore. So you look at all of this stuff, the division that is coming, and I want to kind of bring up one last point here. You know our words, what we're doing here tonight if we were over in europe?
Speaker 3:ah, thank you, we'd be arrested, would we be drug out of here 100.
Speaker 4:Well, I got.
Speaker 3:No, I'm not gonna happen because, yeah, the freedom party, nobody dragging anybody anywhere. But what you're alluding to is in europe. People are being arrested for posting things on facebook, for showing video of illegal immigrants beating up British citizens with clubs. They're saying that you're inciting hatred. Well, that's not illegal. No, and that's not really what's happening either. But they are going to people's house and arresting them for Facebook posts and they don't want anybody to know.
Speaker 2:Well, and they did the same thing during covet in australia yep.
Speaker 3:so, guys, let's ask yourself a very serious question if that type of tyranny comes to harford county, will your elected sheriff do the same thing or will he oppose that? Um, at this point, if you're going by what they've done, I haven't seen anything to make me believe they would oppose this, and I don't like that. That's scary.
Speaker 4:To add to that, I want to tell all of our listeners, to every Hartford County resident, maryland, resident United States citizen, even across the world, you know, the same question Will you allow this to happen? Thank you and no. We will you allow this to happen? Thank you and no. We will not allow this to happen right.
Speaker 3:So. So a lot of you think, well, it's okay, you're gonna go to court and prove your case. Look at the courts. They've been weaponized here. George soros has spent a lot of money, uh, electing different sheriff, I'm sorry, different judges that are under his control. I'm not playing along going to court, I'm taking my chances. I would rather take my chances as a free man.
Speaker 4:I think there was one gentleman or one person over in Europe forget exactly where but within the past week got sentenced to 20 months in jail for a Facebook post.
Speaker 3:Wow, that's insane. Now I'll be the first one to tell you I don't like a lot of the Facebook posts, I see, but I'm certainly not advocating for anybody's arrest based on words.
Speaker 2:Yeah, scroll down.
Speaker 3:Isn't that basically the foundation, one of the foundations of our government free speech.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's called the First Amendment.
Speaker 3:And now the government wants to tell you well, some free speech. They want to determine what free speech is.
Speaker 2:Once somebody gets the power to determine what's okay and what's not, it's over and that's, that's one of the other concerning things about, uh, what happened at at the forest hill farm, because you had a neighbor that was filming roaming around and oh yeah that's one of the videos that's out there on on the uh, the neighbor that was threatened for making noise while the police tried to check.
Speaker 3:He was probably laughing at the deputies chasing these farm animals around. And look, I appreciate deputies, I'm not criticizing them, but we've got a call coming into the freedom pod but we're going to ignore it.
Speaker 2:Probably the sheriff oh, are they calling about? Is it the hvac company calling about the HVAC system in the freedom pod? It's a little warm in here.
Speaker 4:Well, I mean so we go all around, you know, and I just want to. I know we're getting along in the in the podcast. I want to kind of be positive. You know, to close this thing out. You know they are coming after us. We have an election coming up right now. That's what we always have to tell ourselves. It's election season. They will do anything. You know this. This um Camilla Harris's campaign right now saying you know they're mirroring with let's do the tax break one um tips. You know you're in office right now. Do it. You have that power. Do it. You're not just a candidate. Yeah, it's not just saying I'm going to get you cook machines in the in the cafeteria when you're in high school. But you look at everything else and you have to have a mind and what's worse is she was against that.
Speaker 4:Yeah, the last reasons that we don't have that exactly, but we have to remember everything happens in a cycle. Why? Why are they bringing monkeypox back out? You know you start hearing now. You know the monkeypox is on a rampant rage, or increase. Well, they're also talking about there's no vaccine for it.
Speaker 4:So it's fear mongering to stir up people. It's trying to get people to not come out to vote. It's trying to get people to to bend over and say yes, government, you know you were right. What is best for me? And I think that, as more and more people understand this and can see hey, they already tried to do this to me once I already know, didn't we just do this a couple of years ago? That's the type of environment that I think that we need to continue to grow upon and come together.
Speaker 4:You know these people coming out and saying this is a conspiracy theory, or you're a conspiracy theorist, for you know, trying to stand together with your community against this government overreach. It's a joke, you know. And to the clubs, and you know the cheerleaders, outaders out there, you know that will just say anything they want, um, or a politician and say whatever they want. You know they could say that I shot your dog today and they'll be like oh, it's okay, he, he shot your dog because he, you know he was here to protect us. No, guys, come on, pull your head out of your rears and let's go at what point are you gonna stop being an ostrich?
Speaker 2:yep, and get your head out of the sand and look around and what's going on, and and and look. You know we're conservatives, but don't think that the republican party is gonna save you. Just don't think that because somebody's got an r by their name, that that that they're gonna come in riding a white horse and and save you from all this, because most of them are just as bought out and and and. Honestly, I'd rather have somebody. If I'm in a battle, I'd.
Speaker 2:I'd rather have somebody that I know is my enemy I just in front of me fighting me, instead of having somebody that I think is my friend come around and stab me in my back right when I think I'm safe.
Speaker 3:You just painted a picture and in my head I saw Lockdown Larry on the back of this poor horse that was all broken down from the sheer weight and then the sheriff was taking the horse away because it was hurt from lockdown Larry sitting on it. I'm sorry, that's the picture that came in my mind when you said he was going to come in on a white horse, and the horse is white because he's white as a ghost. This is lame, he's done. He's like oh crud, what happened?
Speaker 4:And we also have to be cognizant of the fact that any media it's insane. A local rock station was out there talking about, you know, the monkey pox vaccine. I'm like, play me some rock and roll music. Stop talking about this stuff. Stop, you know, trying to stir up this division I want to listen to some ccr.
Speaker 2:I don't want to listen to your political.
Speaker 3:They're part of the uh the, the cia's mockingbird media yeah they're. They're paid to stir up fear.
Speaker 4:Yep you know how can we end this on a really positive note um, I don't know.
Speaker 3:I think we've talked about a whole lot of different stuff. Um, a positive note, I think. On a positive note, I feel like people worldwide are waking up. Uh, they are being that's. That's why you're seeing the attempts at tyranny in england like we're not allowed to show you this. We're not allowed to do this now.
Speaker 3:I do not condone burning down the hot the hotel that the illegals are staying in. Okay, they are human beings. I do not want to see them killed. I do not want to see them chasing British citizens with machetes and bats either. If you kill them in self-defense, that's obviously a different story. But we are God-fearing people and we are all his people. So death and killing is not the right answer, unless it's in self-defense, only self-defense. But people are waking up. The government's attempts at influencing us all is failing. You'll see more and more people, if you talk to them, that understand that we're being gaslit. There's the feeble attempt that people running around going. Donald Trump wasn't shot. He did this himself. That's. That's laughable. And nobody believes that Kamala Harris is neck and neck with Donald Trump. That's the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard. He is right, right or wrong. He is the most popular president in US history by a lot. It's not even close.
Speaker 4:I'd like to add to this you know, people need to continue to educate yourself, feed yourself with information and disseminate fact and uh fiction.
Speaker 3:It's getting harder to do it really is you got to use the smell test and critical thinking um.
Speaker 4:but with that is do not be fearful, absolutely do not be fearful.
Speaker 3:Preach it brother.
Speaker 4:The only person that you fear is God. And if we go through life scared and timid in this situation, we are going to get abused and abused and abused, and that's what we need to stop. That's what needs to come out, you know, in the community is we're not, we're not being intimidated. We are understanding that they are trying to feed us information that is false, strictly to make us, you know, pit each other against each other and we're done with that. You know, as a community, as a country, as a nation, as a world, we that is one thing. I'm against this globalist approach of the world. I'm, I'm for people, you know, coming together and helping each other. You know, I don't want to be forced to help somebody that I don't agree with, but I know for a fact if you educate yourself and you feed yourself with information and you're you're not feared, fearful from anything except for God, you're going to be going down the right path.
Speaker 3:Amen, brother. A lot of people ask me how we win this, how we get out of this. It seems hopeless. It's not hopeless. Look at the tide it's turning. You've got to go pray. You have to pray. That is how we are going to win. That is the mightiest of all warriors is God, so keep that in mind. We're not trying to turn this in the gospel hour, but these are things that Christians believe.
Speaker 2:It's okay, if you do.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it is. It is okay, it works. So there is hope, there's a lot of hope, and look at the fact that Donald J Trump was able to turn his head and avoid being killed. I think that's wonderful. I certainly don't agree with all the the policies he spends way too much money for me, but I fear that it would have been a total mess in this country if he was killed, and I'm not sure they're not going to try to kill him again. I think that was an inside job. We can talk about that another time. I don't want them to kill joe biden or kamala harris either. I do not wish death on anyone, so and I want to issue an invitation to all the current tyrants, lockdown larry included. It's never too late to stop and to to to join the fight for freedom. It's not too late.
Speaker 4:It's just like any addiction. First thing you have to do is make. You got a problem.
Speaker 3:Yeah yeah, our side is openly inviting people like you to throw your tyrannical sword down and come join us. Leave the poor horse alone. I don't know, travis, do you want the last word word?
Speaker 2:I think you said it really well. I mean I, I can't, uh, I can't top off anything there wow, if you stay close to jesus. Keep your, keep your guns and and uh, why do we say that?
Speaker 3:because if you look around the world at a lot of the things that that you know, people know about, it's the folks that gave up their guns, then they died. That's what comes next. So, yeah, when they openly are after us to throw down our guns, there's a reason for it, folks, there's a reason. Uh, we don't have. Don't use the word gun violence. The guns aren't violent. Okay, it's, gun is a tool. It's a tool that can be used for self-defense, and governments often do use them for tyranny and violence, and that's sad. That's not how it should be used.
Speaker 4:But and if you lose your faith, you've lost your path forward.
Speaker 3:Basically, yeah, give up at that point right so keep the faith. Amen, amen. We the people out every crooked move you make, every corrupt breath you take. We'll be watching you.
