SPEAKER_03That's a little better than us. It's a little better than us. So I have I have a group chat for the pilgrimage I'm going on. So I said I set up a group chat for everybody coming, and there's a bunch of like rowdy young 20 tongues in there, and they start like saying wild stuff in the group chat. Now I'm like, I this like guys, there's there's a priest in here, there's like the priest secretary is in here, you know. I'm like, I'm gonna start a separate boys chat, you know. So so I start a separate boys chat, and I'm like, all right, guys, I started a separate chat because there's older women in coming on this trip, like my wife's in the chat.
SPEAKER_04There's all the I'm like, oh Nicole, he just called you an older woman.
SPEAKER_03Well, so I'm like, I'm like, you know, there's this there's ladies in the chat. I'm like, so I started a new chat. I said, but father is still in this chat. I said, father is still in this chat, so don't say anything that you could get in trouble for. I have to go confess. These kids start dropping like mustache man memes, they're dropping like mustache man memes. Guys, this is not Father Maudsley, okay? I had I had to boot father from the chat. Like, guys, are you out of your minds? I had to have like a talk with them. I'm like, all right, listen, like, there'll be plenty of time for the boys to like stay up late, have a couple drinks, and like we'll we'll get into the you know, a little riff raff, but you guys have to have some decorum, and the priest is in, and it's like that like you have to respect the dignity of the priest, guys. Come on, settle down.
SPEAKER_01There are some priests that I know who would be right in there in the middle of it.
SPEAKER_03I mean, I know one or two also, but you know, you gotta know your audience. You gotta know your audience before you start dropping by.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, read the room a little bit. Read the room a little bit. We get a little rowdy in this one.
SPEAKER_03This uh crazy. What is on the menu for tonight? What are we what are we discussing?
SPEAKER_04I think we're gonna discuss the new political party in Britain. The uh the lynching of a Catholic kid in France, right? Well, it wasn't quite a lynching, but a metaphorical lynching. I suppose you're from the south, you would know what a lynching is. I do. Um what we want to go over uh get like bugged, bags, get home bags. Yeah, we'll go over a little bit of that.
SPEAKER_03Um uh I think I'm gonna stick around for the for the British political party story, and then I have my first day back at work in like three weeks tomorrow, so I want to try and get a good night's sleep. Um, I have a cold and I took Advil cold and sinus, and that stuff is like legit meth. And I'm like, I'm not kidding. It's like I'm strung out from it. My hands are shaky and stuff.
SPEAKER_01So when I was in Afghanistan, I used to interact with the locals a lot, and it was just part of my job. And we had one guy that we had talked to every day, he would come to the gate and he'd bring us like food or try and sell us stuff, whatever. And one day he came in and he had a cold, and I was like, Man, I'll help you out. I got some Dayquil.
SPEAKER_04And so I went back to my uh stone him to death for drinking alcohol after that, didn't they?
SPEAKER_01No, no, so so they'd never had medicine like that, they usually just suck it up, or whatever. And so I gave him some DayQill, and about 10 minutes later, he started like having a panic attack and anxiety. He thought he was having a heart attack, right? He's like, Oh he's all panicking, so we had to get the corman over there and get him checked out because he never had anything like that at all, and so he thought he was dying, he thought I poisoned him. It's like crack, bro.
SPEAKER_03Like, if you've never been exposed, so I I went and uh my wife and I went away this weekend, and I I catch a cold on Saturday, and I'm like, all right, let me go get some medicine. So I go and I'm like, what's the best thing for like a like a cold? They're like, Oh, you gotta get adval cold and sinus. I'm like, okay, I'll take it. Like, we need your license. I'm like, why do you need my license? Well, they make meth with advocate and sinus, so we have to keep a record of everybody that buys it. I'm like, I took them, I was, I'm not kidding, shaking like I took amphetamines, man. It was wild.
SPEAKER_01You remember back in the day when we used to be able to get ephedrin at the gas station?
SPEAKER_02Yes.
SPEAKER_01What do they call it? The Bs, the B, what was it? No, triple C's. There was one that looked like a B, like it was a B's on the on the packaging. It was just straight up ephedron. This is back in like the early 2000s, before they went to like pseudoephedron. Yeah, but it was crazy. It was like watching legal crack be doubled out.
SPEAKER_04Speaking of legal crack, the new knick neck is looks awesome. Yeah, it does.
SPEAKER_01Rob, I don't get paid anything for that. So I don't know. I'm not gonna give the promo code or anything like that, but yeah, I can't get it here. They won't send it. Yeah, I can get everybody else, but I can't get knick neck for a reason. I don't know what that's about. But all right, so we we'll jump into the topic real quick so we can get rid of Anthony real fast. So first thing I want to get into Rupert Lowe. Let's get into Rupert Lowe first. Have you all seen the video going around that he put out? Is that the one you sent me, Rob? Yeah, that's the one I sent me.
SPEAKER_03Okay, yeah, yeah. I did launch it.
SPEAKER_04So we'll want to play any part any of the actual video?
SPEAKER_01We'll play, yeah. We'll start. We'll just play like the first like minute. It kind of because it because it gives you an idea. Because then I've got a tweet where he actually lays out in text what he's set what he's wanting to do. So let me pull this up. I will share it here. I got it. You've got it? All right, go ahead and pull it.
SPEAKER_04Hold on. Let me get rid of this. Uh this here so we can see your face.
SPEAKER_00I'm gonna duck under my own logo. I have chosen to speak to you today from the farm because places like this represent what proper Britain is about. Hard work, responsibility, effort, duty, stewardship. This is the England I know, and this is the England that I love. On a farm, you don't think in election cycles or headlines or polling. You think in seasons, you think in generations, in what you leave behind to those who come after you. And that's why, here on the farm, I am now launching Restore Britain as a national political party. I'm now going to dedicate my life to finding, organizing, funding, and providing hundreds of qualified candidates to present to the British people at the next general election. This process has already started, with invitations being issued to patriots in aligned political parties, Reform, the Conservatives, the SDP, Advance, and more. In local politics, we will work in partnership with localized political parties such as Great Yarmouth First, that have the best interests of their residents at heart, combining our forces at the next general election. The men and women standing for a store in that election. Let's go and pause it there.
Rupert Lowe Launches Restore Britain
SPEAKER_01So uh Rupert Lowe was kind of he was kind of forced into becoming an MP. He didn't want to do it. He was basically asked to come back and do it. MP as a member of parliament, guys, not military police. Right. Yeah. And so he's he's more or less becoming the Cincinnati rather than the Caesar at this point, and what he's going for. So the day after he started this, they already had 10,000 people join the party the next day. And like to us, that doesn't sound like a lot, right? That's like my little league, you know, squad over here, pretty much. But in in Britain, if you don't account for immigrants, that's a lot of people, uh, especially the next day. And so that's that's the kind of support he's got. And if you all haven't if you just go in and research Rupert Lowe, it is overwhelming the amount of people who are for this. Now I I think they're up to 60,000 now, by the way, as of today. Yeah, yeah, that doesn't surprise me whatsoever.
SPEAKER_04They're they're already bigger than some of the other long-standing parties.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and it that doesn't surprise me at all. Because when back in the 2000s with like Tony Blair, and then what was it, Cameron, David Cameron was after him, I believe. Something like that, yeah. Yeah, something like that. The normal conservative party there, which is the Labor Party.
SPEAKER_04No, no, I think they're just called the conservatives, the the Tories, right?
SPEAKER_01No, so it's backwards there. The conservatives are not conservative.
SPEAKER_04Well, I don't think the Labor Party is conservative either.
SPEAKER_01But the Labor Party was the party uh more aligned with what we would think of as like Republicans. Well, and the Tories, yes. There it's a little bit of it because they have multiple parties there, but anyway, and it's and it's really all become a uni party over there as well, just as it is here. And they're they're about five to ten years ahead of us when it comes to the massive amount of immigration that's coming in because they were they've been doing this, they've been having them come in in droves since the 90s because they saw the demographics issue for a while ago, and so they know like if we don't have a bunch of labor come in, we're not going to be able to survive. So instead of encouraging people to have families, they have just imported labor. And so it's now come to a head where people in Britain can't don't even feel at home. You can't even walk around London and hear English spoken anymore. It's mostly Arabic, and sometimes you know, Hindu was it, no, not wali is coming to the so you got the Indians with a dot, now with a feather.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, you got the Pakistanis. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I don't remember what it is they call it. Put Poonjabi.
SPEAKER_03Punjabi, that's what it is. Do you think they can actually vote their way out of anything though? Like I honestly, like none of us can. We're we're I don't think so either. That's what I talked to Rob when he said when he sent out to me, he said England is waking up. I said, Yeah, I I I I do think a lot of people are waking up. I just I just don't think anything is getting solved politically, but no, but you still need a movement, right?
SPEAKER_04To to to follow, to to to lead, you know, to lead the effort against what we're up against.
SPEAKER_01And the issue in England is it's gonna be bloody, but it's gonna be on one side because the English don't have the weapons.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, that's that's that's an that's an interesting point, man. I just think like I just think Europe is in is just due for such a chastisement for abandoning God that they're there's I don't know, it's gonna it's going to be bloody and it's going to it's gonna be bad.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, well, and you know, because I I keep bringing this up and with the prophecy with Fatima talking about the the Muslims coming in, and because uh we brought it up in a few shows. I don't know I don't know, it was like a month ago. They were catching Muslims there with bow and arrow, right? They're planning on assassinating people with bow and arrow, which like if you think well, that's very primitive, but it's like think of how many people in the United States hunt with bow and arrow, yeah.
SPEAKER_03Right, how how you're a fishing with a bow and arrow in a society that doesn't have guns, yeah.
SPEAKER_01You're a warlord, you'd have no idea where it's coming from, yeah. Right. So, and then we have the the prophecy with Ali Fatima, where they're using arrows when they when they're you know killing the men, bishop and white, and so it's it's really to your point, Anthony, is because they've turned from God, then the chastisement is gonna be so much worse for them. Which then you know we can get into like prophecy chasing all night, but it's just there's no way they can vote. We can't vote our way out of it. No, we're past the event horizon, too.
SPEAKER_03We are just not as far along as England has, and we have a second amendment, so there's gonna be possible it's also because England's so much smaller, like the Muslim population there is much more dangerous. Like we we've talked about it on our show. It's like America may have a lot of Muslims, but it's still like one percent of the population, right? So you're going to have you might have conflict in major cities and stuff. You know, you move out, you go out anywhere into the country and you're fine, you're not gonna see any of that.
SPEAKER_04So but I mean, England does have a lot of that too. I mean, they're they're physically smaller, but a lot of England still is countryside.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and we you have issues with the Muslims in the countryside here in the United States. They broke up a terrorist camp in Georgia like five or six years ago. They were they were caught doing basically CQB urban operations, they're blowing up things, like they had that they had like 60 acres. Nobody had any idea they are out there and they're just they're training. And then finally, someone uh ratted them out, and that's when they got busted. Like, if that's just one we've caught, we know they have them in Texas, we know they have them in California, in in with the cartels and their terrorist networks that they have, like they may only be one percent, but that's what we know of, right? How many came across the border in the last five years that we don't know about? There's that video that went about about that guy I was talking about that came across the southern border. He's like, You may not know me now, but you will know me, right? And it turns out he's a huge terrorist facilitator.
SPEAKER_03I just hate that, like they can't they couldn't just like let us have our lives in peace, man. Like they just they had to ruin something so nice, and it's so obviously intentional. Like it wasn't it wasn't about votes or elections, it was about destroying our way of life, it's so intentional, and it really just sucks because like they used the votes to get there initially, right?
SPEAKER_01And then once they had enough of them, and then they could play on the sentiments of the people to not want to to or to avoid confrontation. So now they're like, Well, now we have the Dreamers Act, and all these people have been here for 20 years, they're born here, right? And they and they've lived here their entire life, they should be citizens. No, they need to go too.
UK Parties, Immigration, And Demographics
SPEAKER_03Yeah, but I always thought I always like I still think it wasn't really about votes, I think it was about destroying any kind of unity this culture ever, uh this this country ever had, right? Like the destroying anything that would have unified us as a country. Now, if if there's any kind of outside threat, the country hates each other so much, you won't even unify around that outside threat anymore. It's we'll be tearing ourselves from the inside out while fighting an outside threat. It's just gonna be it's just scary stuff on the horizon, man. I don't know.
SPEAKER_01But they but you you keep saying that that isn't it's not about the votes, but that's what they used the votes to get. Yeah, of course, they played the system, but so I don't think using but no, it's not about the long-term goal of the right.
SPEAKER_03I don't think it was about democratic policy end of the meeting of the West.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, they they used it to get where we are now, and then they're going their next play is going to be to have us in such a desire for authoritarianism because we have so much crime and and violence going on that we're gonna pay for somebody to come in and save us, right? Just and that was a big reason a lot of people voted for Trump. Like I'm tired of all the crime, right? And he's just an old man who wants to play nice with Israel and make a bunch of money off crypto before he dies.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, he's he's unwilling to do what needs to be done, which is what gives me a little hope with with low here, not so much with the politics of it, but you know, he seems to understand and also like spreading word, like what needs to be done is gonna suck. It's gonna be hard, you know. Whereas Trump's saying, we're gonna have the best economy, we're gonna have the best of this and the best of that. This guy's like, No, guys, it's gonna blow. You know, things are gonna be hard, it's gonna suck.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, if you if you're not willing to put if you're not willing to put in 20, 30 years of actual grit and sacrifice, you'll have nothing to leave for the generations after. I think it's gonna be like 150 years, yeah. I mean, yeah, we can't even think in terms like that. Like our previous generations would would build a cathedral that would take 400 years to build. We're like, we need our thing.
SPEAKER_02I mean, it took the Marxists 100 years to get into school boards, you know, and they were doing not in pizza huts anymore.
SPEAKER_01Like we couldn't even do that.
SPEAKER_04I got one 45 minutes away.
SPEAKER_01See, you gotta go 45 minutes. I bet you are I gotta go 45 minutes for everything.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, Rob's gotta go 45 minutes if he wants eggs, dude.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I think what you know I started. I mean, I'm gonna I'm trying to figure out how I want to say this with the while and keep us from getting off YouTube. When I realized finally that Trump was not that Trump was not the man when he was talking about making sure home prices stay high for those who have that as their their largest asset, like brother, it took me that long. Well, I mean, because like up to then I was like, you know what? He's just an old like boomer, right? And I was kind of giving the benefit of the doubt, but on a lot of stuff, and I and I kept wanting to hang on, like maybe because he does a lot of right things, like he's got Tom Homan in who's doing a lot of right things with deportations. But when he said that, after all everything that's been going on, and like you're so out of touch with what's with what's going on, you have you're sacrificing the future of your children for the benefit of the people who are gonna be gone in five years. Like, I don't I don't care about my house. Make my house worth fifty thousand dollars. I don't care as long as my kids can buy a house. Like, I I will live in my house till I die, I will be upside down.
SPEAKER_03I don't care about my home value because I can't I care about my kids, but it's like even you remember all the stuff going on in Minnesota, and it was like, oh, if we're willing, if we're not willing to go through some of this, like they just back out, like nothing is I don't I don't even think Tom Homan's doing that great of a job. I think they stopped the influx of immigration, which is obviously good, right? Like it was an open border under Biden, but I don't think they're really deporting millions of people.
SPEAKER_04I I think it's gonna, I mean, you you're right. I as far as active deportations, no, they're not. But we're I think right now it's hard to tell how many have deported themselves.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, well, so you may know this, Anthony, for you know, the line of work you're in up there, but down here, construction has just about stopped. Really? So no one, and and it's not that they're being deported, they're scared to go to work, so they're just staying home, which is then causing a crunch on a and I'm aware of it because at my place right now, there's 200 acres of pasture around my property that another another guy owned, and he sold it to a developer, and they're gonna put 560 houses on it, right? And they were supposed to break ground last October, then I got pushed to November, then December, then January, and they still haven't done it because no one's buying houses right now because construction has stopped everywhere. The demand has is cratered, and it's not just because of rates, like the rate, there the rates right now are where they were in 08 when I bought my first house, and people were still buying houses. It's not that it is a little bit to do with the economy, and because it's so much more expensive to live now, like I, you know, I made that post the other day, or you well, yesterday probably, about the people's mortgages going up.
SPEAKER_03Oh, yeah, I saw that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So like their their homeowners' insurance is also going up, all these things are going up. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01And you go from you know, paying like$1,500 a month for your mortgage, you know, for your little 200 your 2,000 square foot house to now 3,000. Like, how do you expect somebody? And on top of that, their health insurance is doubled or tripled, and on top of that, their car insurance is doubled, right? And then, you know, yeah. Gas is you know down here is like 230 a gallon, but that doesn't matter, right? If I can't afford anything else, you know what's the point of buying gas? So down here, and I've got clients who are illegal and they're scared to go to work. And we in down here in Alabama, they're really not doing much. There's they're going after criminals, right? And a lot of the MS-13, Trente Aragua, and things like that, but they're not going after, you know, I'd be happy with that though.
SPEAKER_03The little OJ just get the get the criminals out. It's like, I don't know. I don't know, man.
SPEAKER_01It's it's it gets depressing when you talk about this stuff too much, but but what gives me what gives me hope on a lot of this is how many of the younger guys at my parish are very willing to go through something very hard economically to do what needs to be done. Right, and just the conversations we have, I have with some of these young men in their 20s, you know, maybe in their early 30s, way more than I was able to. I could even figure. But like when you and I were you know first started working, I you know, I think I made like eleven dollars an hour down in in Kentucky at the time, and that was a lot of money, you know.$22,000 a year, my rent was like$600 a month for a two-bedroom apartment by myself that I afforded, right? But now you can't do you can't do anything with$22,000 a year, right? So it's getting to the point now where you're you're having to make concessions on things that you didn't plan, like you know, you can do karna now for groceries. You imagine having a payment for some groceries you bought last year, right? That's that's where we're at.
SPEAKER_03I I was doing pretty good at 21. Like I owned my first home by 23, 24. But I also worked for a family business, like I jumped right into a union gig, stuff like that. But yeah, I don't know. Like because me and my wife are actually talking about it this weekend. Like like my son is like trying to get himself established. He's 20, and it's like he I don't I don't know. I don't know what he's going to do to buy a home. It's just like it's it's like unfair, you know. He done and he even says he's like, I don't think I want to, I don't think he can live on Long Island, you know.
SPEAKER_01He probably won't be able to live in the New York metropolitan area.
Can Politics Fix It Or Not
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I don't know what I don't know what we're gonna. I mean, I'm hoping I can get out of here at a certain point.
SPEAKER_01We'll see how that goes, but it's getting to the point now where you're having to migrate to areas just to be able to afford to live in some instances, yeah. Even here in Alabama, you on the west side of Birmingham, you can find a house for$50,000,$60,000, but you're the only one with your skin tone. Yeah, right. You're the only one that listens to country for 12 straight blocks, right? Yeah, you can't put you up with kids in an environment like like your kids, you only even if you you you're the only one here that listens to country. I don't even listen to country that much, as evidenced by the video that starts this show, yeah. But you know, we because we've had you know, our diocese in Latin Mass is in the murder capital of America, they almost always are. Like we've had people come out, you know, from a baptism on a Saturday, and there was a shootout, like a block down, and as they're leaving the parish, there's still a dead body on the sidewalk because they drive past, right? And we've had some families like are wanting to live near the parish. I'm like, are you insane? Like you know, like, well, you know, we're we're risking ourselves for the faith. Like, that's not that's that's stupidity. That's not risking yourself for the faith. Like, in order for that to even be feasible, you need about six families to all live right next to each other, and two of the fathers can never leave the house, right? That to be provide security for the other four houses every day, like that, even that to be even a consideration, right? But the understanding that we can never live near our parish because it's in a horrible area.
SPEAKER_03I saw I went to uh a really nice parish on Sunday driving home from upstate. We were uh we were in like uh Socrates, New York. I drove home and went to this really nice little chapel, Our Lady of something. I don't know, but it was like a 35-minute low mass, like it was so nice. Like I went in, there was only like 30 people there, but it was father spit right through it. I was like, Oh, this is wonderful.
SPEAKER_01I don't know how people ever complain about it. That's our that's our first Saturday low mass. It's like boom. He's like he right after he he does the readings, he just turns right back around and gets right into it, you know. Yeah, skips the homily and everything. We're we're out pretty quick.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I don't know, man. I don't know how long you how long do you think how long do you think the status quo remains? Like how long do you like I I mean I'm I don't know, I don't even know what happens by the end of Trump's presidency, man.
SPEAKER_01I I don't think it won't wait that long. I think this summer is gonna get real violent.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, this summer, this summer's gonna get real violent.
SPEAKER_04If if the ice and ice Minneapolis stuff had happened in May instead of oh, it would have been a nightmare, yeah.
SPEAKER_03Like we're as bad as we think it was, if it was not out, it would have been a thousand times worse.
SPEAKER_01And we as we've talked about in a couple of shows ago, everything is being laid out for us to expect a conflict by the end of this year, early next year. So some of the things I brought up, Anthony. I don't know if you watch the show, but the government, specifically the Department of Defense or Department of War, whatever they want to call themselves now, is buying up everything. For example, a buddy of mine owns a business that they make like medical supply kits, like you know, IFACs and you know, first aid kits, things like that. They can't get supplies because the government's bought everything up. We have had ammunition plants shut down because they can't get any black powder primers cases or anything because Lake City ammunition out west has bought everything because the government is requiring them to their their goal is ten times larger to have ammunition.
SPEAKER_03Now, are they gearing up for an external war or an internal conflict?
SPEAKER_01The suspicion is China. So we're gearing up for an external enemy, but China in their expertise in irregular warfare is going to cause a conflict in the United States to distract us to keep us from being able to intercept.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, and they're and they're so buried in here.
SPEAKER_04We look at the Chinese biolabs that have been found the last month.
SPEAKER_01Look at the 625,000 Chinese students that Trump said he would not get rid of. Right? That was probably my first inkling when I saw that. I was like, hmm, Orange Man may be bad.
SPEAKER_03See, I was hoping to get another three years before this stuff started.
SPEAKER_01I was hoping, I was hoping to make it to 2028. I hope so. I mean, hopefully we get 30 more years. I don't know, but the all the indicators are set showing that it's it's gonna be real soon. Real soon. Uh scary sooner than any of us can really be prepared for, especially if talks that Russia now is gonna go back to the dollar, right?
SPEAKER_04For things like oil and and gas and stuff like that. Like if China feels that they're starting to lose Russia, they'll decide, well, now's our best chance at Taiwan. Well, if in five years Russia's gone. Then you think we're gonna go to war for Taiwan, yeah.
SPEAKER_03Probably. You think we would? You think we would go to war? I think I think we would, but I don't know.
SPEAKER_01If we don't have microchip plants here before that, yeah, that's the problem.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, we'll go to war for Taiwan.
SPEAKER_01No, and we sure as a hell will for Japan. It and that and understand that the a big reason we went after Venezuela was not the oil, it was their silver mines. There's an average of 15 pounds of silver in every missile we make. So we and there and we would have to it based on what we have as far as silver mines in the United States and things that we have and mines that we have access to, we would have to mine 10,000 years in the next two years to get what we need out of those things. So we have to we have to spread out to get access to more minerals and more you know metals and things of that sort.
SPEAKER_04Did you see the uh the lithium deposit in Nevada?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, like I just feel like they make numbers, they're like, What's the biggest number we can think of? 1.5 trillion in lithium under a super volcano. How the do you plan on getting that out?
SPEAKER_04We won't even we can't even mine the the copper and the huge like the world's second largest copper nickel deposit that was found up here in Minnesota because we're we're worried about ruining lakes. Now they're like, yeah, world's largest lithium, right under that volcano, guys.
Summer Unrest Fears And Great-Power Moves
SPEAKER_01Let's go get it. Right underneath it. You know what we can do to get up? We'll we'll light off a nuclear bomb in that volcano. We can get to it then. Oh, bring up that uh tweet real quick, Rob. We're gonna we're gonna read through what old Rupert Lowe was talking about in that video. Okay. Man, I can't see that. I'm sorry you're blind. No, I'm just old. Legal immigrants, come on, all of them. Without apology. Every man, woman, they will all be deported. We have released the most comprehensive deportation policy ever produced in Britain. 100 pages of detailed steps to remove every single illegal migrant living in our country. You know what is easiest thing, the easiest thing to do to get them to self-deport, remove them from their capability of banking and sending remittances back home.
SPEAKER_03Yep, that's what they do. Like I they just send their money back to their home country. You're just you're just draining the wealth from your own country and sending it abroad.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, if if you started taxing remittances at like 50%, problem solved.
SPEAKER_01100%. What's it what why why should they have why should they send it?
SPEAKER_04I don't, I'm just saying it wouldn't even take 100.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I mean, I yeah, even 50 would would do it, but you no, take everything. No, you can't say anything back home. That's gotta if you're gonna be here illegally and work illegally, your money's gotta be used here.
SPEAKER_04If we're just in economic zone, your money stays in the economic zone, dude.
SPEAKER_01Right, that's right. Uh let's see. The this is step one. This miscreants are the priority, the sex pest will be removed, the hotels will close, the flights will begin. I promise you that. Um, go down. He just talks about immigration for a minute.
SPEAKER_04Uh like we will discriminate.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, like I he did he had a clip earlier today that came out. He's like, I don't care about your indigenous language at all. Let's see, a foreigner claiming benefits and living in social housing again, they will be asked to leave. Which was shocking to me when I found out that, and I didn't know this because I've really had no reason to know it, but 47% of Puerto Ricans in Puerto Rico are on welfare. Yeah, half of that entire territory is just sucking on the teeth of the government. Like that at this point, we just we should probably just cut them off, but we can't because we have military bases there, so we're not gonna do that.
SPEAKER_04Darn it.
SPEAKER_01We will not tolerate extremists who wish to do us harm, foreign islam Islamist will be deported, dual national extremists.
SPEAKER_03We should deport anybody with the I mean, this is all great, but none of it's gonna happen.
SPEAKER_01Maybe, yeah. But what this does is this lays the groundwork for people, it primes them to be willing to accept this stuff, right? So that when it or if some strongman does come in and decide to do this, like they're gonna the it's they're much more willing to accept it, right? Because we keep thinking of immediate effects, like what we if JD Vance comes in, he's gonna get rid of all these. No, like we're way past electing our way out of this, right? What's going to happen is there's going to be some type of former military congressman or you know, current serving National Guard general or somebody who's going to basically dare the government to do something about him deporting people or getting rid of or taking down criminals or whatever. Right. And then once a lot of the local area starts to see that they're getting he's getting results and things are being done well and and it's much more safer to go out, he's going to bolster a lot of uh support, which is then going to encourage other people to join him from other territories, whether it be counties, states, or whatever. Right. That's what's going to end up going to happen.
unknownRight?
SPEAKER_01It's the same thing that happened with Spain with Franco. Eventually, people got tired and they they were willing to accept a little bit of hardship to be able to bring peace again. And that's what he did. Thankfully, it was somebody with morals and virtue, right? And we didn't have you know mad dogmatists come in and do it because that man has no morals or virtue.
SPEAKER_04The the the British electoral system is is definitely different too. In a parliamentary system like that, like you might think this party has no chance of being elected, but it it's a lot more fluid than in the US two-party system. So you never know.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and they don't have to have a majority. They just have to they have to establish a coalition with another party that gives them a majority.
SPEAKER_04I mean, if if you look at like what the fascists did in in Italy, it same thing. It was a parliamentary system that gained, you know, a strong minority of seats and created a coalition, and then just kind of took power at that point from there. So you never know what it might happen.
SPEAKER_01Let me ask you, Anthony, what what would you do at where you live now, if you know, as you're working, things slowly deteriorate to the point where you all had to you no longer could go to a job unless you had at least 10 men with you, no matter what.
SPEAKER_03I mean, that's used to be how it was in the 80s. In the 80s, you had you had the coalitions, like you'd have like these black gangs that would roll up on you if you didn't have one of their guys on the gang and they'd just take your equipment, you know, like they'd take the keys out of your equipment. So you just gotta, you know, broker deals with them and pay guys off. I mean, it's mob stuff.
SPEAKER_01I don't know. What if this is people like Antifa that don't care about money?
SPEAKER_03Like I mean, if that job is shut down. I mean, honestly, if my if my job is shut down, then I gotta if I I mean if I don't if I'm not committed to New York for work, I'm out. You know, I sell my house, see if I can see what I could get in the equity of my house and see what I got in my annuity and I try to make it work somewhere else.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Where do you have somewhere in mind that you would go?
SPEAKER_03Not yet. I mean, you know, it's it depends because like we're like our plan is to leave New York, but we're thinking like, all right, maybe Tennessee, North Carolina, but I don't know what the country looks like if it if we're talking about a situation like that, yeah, you know, right now my job is also not in one location every day, like we're all over the place, so it's it would be hard for them to shut my job down. Like Antifa's not shutting my job down. We're going in. If like if we see there's a protest in one spot, we'll skip that job and go to another job. It's not, you know, my job's very unique.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but I bring that bringing this up because that's how things work now, right? And so I'm wondering, you know, and I'm just using you as an example. I'm not even I'm not even you, I'm just asking you because I'm genuinely curious curious. Like, how you have you do you ever war game these things in your head? Or just forward think, right? Like, okay, you know, what if it gets to the point where like my wife no longer feels safe at home when I'm gone, right? Because there's a lot more crime in the area because the police can't do patrol.
SPEAKER_03I mean, dude, it's not it's it would not just happen overnight like that here. And if that does happen, I would get out of here.
Resources, Minerals, And War Readiness
SPEAKER_01Yeah, like it's this would this would be a slow deterioration, yeah. Right. So eventually it would get to the point where, like, hey, you're hearing about more break-ins in the neighborhood, like one a week, right? And then six months down the road, like your neighbors get broken and they're home at the time and they get beat up real bad, right? And then it, you know, it's slowly, and then you like start noticing, hey, I haven't seen a cop in uh months come through here, yeah, right. And so, and then your wife and your kids, they're they're not feeling so you're having to lock the doors, put bars in the windows. So, and I bring this up so y'all can start thinking because you don't you're right now you're you're the you're the the frog in a boiling water, all of us are right. Some of us are just the water's not boiling as fast, and you have to you have to put that line in your head of all right, when this happens or something equivalent to this, like I need to make a decision, right? Either we go ahead and move or you know, we but we organize or something, right? And we all need to come to that realization. Like my for me, mine was when I lived in downtown Birmingham during COVID, and my truck got broken into and you know, all tore up just because I didn't have a BLM sticker on my truck. And I've got at that time I had I we had just had my fourth kid. I was like, Man, I can't stay here. Like I can't stay. I love being downtown, I love being near everything, but you know, I'm surrounded by you know Marxists and liberals and minorities that don't like that I have a American flag on my front porch, right? I can't stay here, and so that's when I made the decision. Well, this is too much for me. I'm I'm out, yeah. And you know, I make the commute every day for living. But you we all have to make that decision.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, my family, my family isn't near the city at all. Like, I I you know, my where I work is a different story. That could that could get difficult, but where my family is, they're nowhere near the city.
SPEAKER_01And what and what's good is you've got some family in some areas outside of the city.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I got family in Kentucky. I got yeah, I got family around.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so and that that could be a a simple beachhead for you for you, like, hey, maybe I'll you know you move down to Kentucky, yeah, right, you know, in a few years when you're like you're just I'm just done with it, right? But for those that you know, people who are watching who don't have that luxury of having someone that lives outside of that area and don't have anywhere to go, you need you need to make sure that you're that you're vigilant on what's going on, but as well, you need to make sure that you're you're thinking about these things and what you're gonna do if, right? And because you don't want to be caught flat footed when these things come and you have to make a decision on it. Yeah, all right. Let's get into the Quentin. I'm not even gonna try to.
SPEAKER_03I'm I'm actually gonna fly because I gotta get some sleep tonight, but I guess Rob and I have a priest coming on with us tomorrow that we've made friends with on the show that you know he's reached out to us. So we're gonna have him on tomorrow. And you boys enjoy the rest of your night. Adrian's nice catching up with you, brother.
SPEAKER_01You too, brother. Take care. See ya. All right, let's pull up the uh the first Quentin link. Okay. I thought I'd put more than that on there. There's three of them. Okay, because mine just wasn't updated on my computer.
SPEAKER_04So uh it's not real graphic, but it is the video of him being attacked, so what you're seeing here is uh a bunch of them jumped him, got him on the ground, and just kept beating.
SPEAKER_01He was coming home from a like a rally of sorts for the protection of women. He was basically protesting that women aren't don't feel safe on the streets, and this is what ended up happening because he was by himself. He ended up uh he died today. He had a brain bleed, and it took a couple days, and he ended up dying. And so since then we have seen a lot of protests kick up in France about Quentin, because he was he was part of Action Francais as well, like the new reprosted version of it, right? Because if y'all aren't aware of Action Francais, it was uh who's it, Pius the Twelfth? 10th, 11th or 12th, one of those one of those guys basically forced them to disband because it was they were just too Catholic, I guess.
SPEAKER_04I I mean I so Action Francais, Francois, Francois, whatever it is, was uh a Catholic political movement, obviously in France. Was there some in Canada too? Probably, probably, but yeah, they they were forced to forced to dissolve. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And so now it's it's basically reconstituted. It's it's starting to come back and is led by the laity. I'm not sure if they have any clergy involved with it whatsoever. I assume not in order to protect the clergy. They might have some implicit support by clergy, but nothing that's obvious that that clergyman could be punished for. Because we know how the church likes to punch in punish anybody who's a little bit too Catholic. And so There's been a lot of protests and such, like with the the next link should be one of them, Rob. So and you're seeing these protests are taking place more or less outside of churches. That's where they're choosing to frame it. That's where they're choosing to have the imagery from.
SPEAKER_07There's I think this one might I think the next one might have subtitles that are translated.
France: Quentin’s Killing And Street Protests
SPEAKER_01I did on my phone anyway, it might not do it on this. The imagery here is amazing. This reminds me a lot of the Poland anti-LGBTQ protests that were happening back in like 21. Yeah. Right, where they would you'd see this throng of Marxists and held off by like 12 or 15 Catholics by themselves. What was it? Uh it's just like running zombies. World War Z. World War Z, right? There's this, I mean it's filled up to the steps of this, and it's looking down from a bird's eye point of view. I've got the photo on my phone somewhere, I'll I'll post it to Twitter. But this throng of Marxists, and it's just being held off by like 12 or 15 Catholics uh on the steps, and that's and it was you had you know the road flares behind them and just smoke everywhere because of it. The imagery was insane on that, and this reminds me a lot of that.
SPEAKER_04So, so looking at the history of the organization, it actually was not dissolved by the church, so it it started in 1899, right? As a as a the after as a nationalist response to the Dreyfus affair, it became like an integral nationalist movement, so it was anti-republican, anti-parliamentarian, and of course they claim it was anti-Semitic. But let's see here, it attracted support from Catholics, even though the founder was an agnostic who pragmatically supported Catholicism for social order, and then it peaked in like the 20s. Pius XI did place its works and newspaper on the index, but that was lifted in 1939. It they say some of them collaborated with the Vichy regime under Batain and World War II, and then after France was liberated in 1947, it was it was dissolved. Well, actually, it was dissolved in 44, but then reorganized in 47.
SPEAKER_01So it was dissolved as like the post-World War II. But the kill shot was put putting the all their works on the index. Yes, yeah, is what is what really killed it more than anything, and it lost all its support from there.
SPEAKER_04Did did Ghost of Angemino get banned for 30 minutes for bringing up the SSPX? Don't know why people are arguing about the SSPX in this chat, but uh y'all need y'all need to stay on topic, is what needs to happen. Yeah, follow our follow our lead here and stay on topic.
SPEAKER_01Rob doesn't care about SSPX criticism.
SPEAKER_04No, no, I've been to SSPX mask twice.
SPEAKER_01Just we it always turns into it eventually turns into ad hominems, right? And people just talking past each other.
SPEAKER_04That's why we don't yell irregular at the other, the other side yells modernist at that one, and yeah, it's it's never a fruitful discussion.
SPEAKER_01That's why we don't allow it because a lot of y'all can't get out of your feelings about things, yeah. So it's not a matter of uh us disliking or liking the SSPX. Well, I have no problem going to SSPX, neither does Rob whatsoever. If we had an SSPX here, I would go there. Same, but we don't.
SPEAKER_04We have a traditional order in my entire state, and the thing's been let the things have been legislated now for what 40 years? Who cares?
SPEAKER_01Like it's up there with Vatican II. I'm tired of talking about it, I'm done. Right? It's what's going to happen is what's going to happen. It's not going to change a thing. When the SSPX was excommunicated, they just grew. The same thing's going to happen this time, right? But now we have the internet, and now we have YouTube, and now people can actually hear what the SSPX homilies are about, right? And that it's going to explode if they excommunicated this time because people are going to compare it to what the Chinese bishops are doing. And they're, and if anything, that if any boomer out there has not realized, Generation Z hates inauthentic inauthenticity, right? If you can't be even killed and and provide the same punishments across the board, Generation Z will just destroy you. And they're they're basically bringing on their own destruction if they do excommunicate the SSPX. So with that, we're done talking about it. Okay, no more talking about it. We're done. It's not a good topic anymore. We're tired. Everyone's tired of talking about it. I know some of y'all are new to it, but get over it. Go watch the other 6,000 hours of it on YouTube. It's not gonna be done here.
SPEAKER_04If that's what you want, then Pelican Plus is probably for you. You you would love, you would love the flamingo. The flamingo.
SPEAKER_02Go to the flamingo. The flamingo. You know what's sad. I you know what's sad.
SPEAKER_04Block you there.
SPEAKER_01She she backed the doorway in. Um I can't I can't stand watch Tim Flanders anymore, and I have no reason to dislike him whatsoever. But for some reason, something in my gut is like I just can't stand watching him and listen to him anymore, and I don't know what it's about. I have no idea.
SPEAKER_04I know why I can, but I'm gonna keep that private.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I don't have the relationships there that you all do. I mean, and yeah, there's nothing like deep there, it's just uh I just for that like it's it's like an inner sense of like hypocrisy. I don't know, I don't know, or like unwilling.
SPEAKER_04You what for me it was it was watching what Jeremiah did to that channel and just how it was allowed to happen. I just sorry, yeah.
SPEAKER_01And I think that's I think that's where it started for me, and then he started bringing on he started bringing on like the the realm of the Phylos project type guys, right? And he's like he's wanting to get the other side, and like brother, we don't care about like error has no rights, yeah. Right, and so why are we listening to people that are speaking contrary to what the church has always taught? Like, I didn't know, like I just didn't get it, and and and I understand what he's trying to do, sort of thing, yeah. Yeah, but it just since then, like I see him and I immediately skip. And he's a he's a phenomenal guy, and I and I have no reason to dislike him, but there's just something in me that like I I'm picking up on something that is making me not want to watch him.
SPEAKER_04It's been a long time since I watched me a Catholic, which is a shame because it I watched it a ton. Well, for they didn't have a show for like a year. That's a good point.
SPEAKER_01That's probably why nobody watched it, so you know it it I just don't and one P One Peter Five became his thing because that's what paid the bills, and I get that, but he didn't mind taking my money when he wasn't about any shows, you know. So I just don't I don't look, can y'all understand why like some people just don't get along with me? Okay, especially on Twitter. I'm a hard pill to swallow because that's not on Twitter.
SPEAKER_04You don't have the laugh or the you know, like you're just typing stuff, you're just ripping people apart. I'm like, what did you just do?
Online Catholic Fights And Media Friction
SPEAKER_01There was one day I got called out, rightfully so, like I should have been called out, and it was like it was something like young dad or something died in like 28. I was like, and everybody was like, Oh yeah, it's so awful. Donate to us, go fund me. You and my comment was like, the man should have had life insurance. Like, where do you he failed to plan, right? And you know, who is it? What's the Nigerian Catholics? That guy, James, James, yeah, yeah. So he called me out, rightfully so. Yeah, this isn't the time nor place to say, like, you're right. And I deleted the comment, right? I was like, You're right, I'm gonna delete that, right? But I'm still right, like you're you should have life insurance, you got a family. What are you doing? It's cheap. You're 20, you buy a million dollars for like 50 bucks a month, right? That's nothing, right? Yes, it'll probably never pay out. Thank god, you outlived it. Great, right? But no one should have to be paying a GoFundMe because you decided to you wanted to go to McDonald's two more times that month.
SPEAKER_04So damn you damn you guys, you rotisserie chicken, give it up for life insurance, guys.
SPEAKER_01Come on, you can get 10 Costco rotisserie chickens for one million dollars worth of life. It just like stupid stuff like that, right? So, like, for example, boomers and not wanting to leave any money to their kids, like they'd rather go on infinite cruises than to leave a$150,000 house to their kids, yeah. Right? That drives me nuts. It also drives me nuts when I well, I see anybody making bad financial decisions. Like, where like how do you make the worst? The worst safe of them right back there. The worst, but you can afford it because your mortgage is like you know, I don't have a mortgage in yen, it might as well be in yen. Five bedroom house for 800 bucks a month. Yeah, that's that's unheard of. But people who just make bad financial decisions, the worst are people who it's a dual income house and they're pulling in like mid six figures, like paycheck to paycheck time people people type people, right? They don't have anything to show for it, like those people drive me nuts. So to to go back to your point, yeah. I'm X I can be a little brash, and y'all don't y'all have no idea because I'm kind of deadpan about my my humor sometimes, so I get in trouble for it a little bit. So let's see what else we have on the notes.
SPEAKER_02Any that was it? That that was basically it. So all right, let's go X only, Twitter only, guys.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, we're gonna do Twitter only and we're going to I should probably remember I'm gonna just go over like an idea of a get home bag and the reason you have a get home bag and all that.
SPEAKER_04Since Anthony's not on here, if you're watching this on Anthony's Twitter, I am gonna remove it just so we don't say something that he doesn't want sit on his Twitter, which is unlikely knowing him, but just to yeah, so I'm gonna remove it from his now. And then are we ready to remove it from YouTube too?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, let's remove it from YouTube.
SPEAKER_04So if you're on YouTube, go to Twitter, go to X and either at Catholic Rob or at Guns and Rosaries with the Z. It's right on screen. If you guys can't figure that out, then you're actually perfect for this show. Yep, because you're a Marine just like me. Okay, removing it on YouTube right now.
SPEAKER_01Okay, it doesn't have a delay or anything like locals does, right? What? No, we're gonna have a delay or anything like locals does. Like I y'all always like give it a minute before it's private.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. I have to click a button and then it waits a minute before it's private, right?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. All right, so I want to go over, and I want I want y'all to know, like, I put this get home bag together today, just as an example. I just want to see if I had extra stuff to do it. And so I and I'm gonna go over it today, but I'm gonna go over the reason to you're out of timeout, you're on X, Jemima.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, Jemima, we're we're all just on X now. You're fine. Everyone's on X. The time out, the time was only 30 minutes, so by the next show, you'll be good to go.
SPEAKER_01Tell uh tell is Ocean in the uh telegram chat at all. No, I don't think so. He can watch it without having an account, can he? Can he just like go to the link? I'm pretty sure. Yeah. Just pull up the link. Uh he's not here. I can't give him the link anymore. No, I'm telling him, just you know, go to my but he's if he's not watching, how would how's he gonna hear this? That's what I'm saying. Like, I'm talking to the wind right now, is what I'm saying. Like I'm like an old man shouting at the clouds. So I want to go over get home bags for y'all and feel any questions about it.
SPEAKER_04I have about one four or five different gun options for this ready to show off.
SPEAKER_01So mostly where I'm gonna take from is is from oh, it says it right. It's not mirrored.
unknownGood.
SPEAKER_01So Tactical Wisdom by Joe Dolio. He has a good chapter in here, it's kind of like a good start to it. It's on page 67. And let me just let me just gonna read the the beginning of it. The get home bag is a bare minimum bag that you should carry or have available anytime you are away from your house. It will contain some bare minimum gear to allow you to travel on foot from a location that you are stranded at, like work, for example, to get home. In our modern society, we're working at greater distances from home than ever before. It is not unusual to have a 20 to 40 mile commute to work. Since we generally spend at least a third of our day at work on most days, we should have a plan to get home. Um, so I depending on where I'm at. Like if I go to when if I'm not working from the house, like today I worked from home, I didn't want to go anywhere. My get home bag would be like a fanny pack, just get from the shop to the to the house.
SPEAKER_04And I just got a couple Snickers in there, yeah.
SPEAKER_01You've got some crayons, I'll be good.
SPEAKER_04Um did you get that Instagram I sent you?
Personal Finance Rants And Generational Strain
SPEAKER_01Yes, the crayon buffet. Yes, go back to the red, red, red. But but my office is 25 miles from my house minutes from my house. Yep. So I'm 30 miles from my house, and that's assuming I don't go to a client's house or anything. Like I've got some clients that live an hour and a half away from me. No, I haven't both Eberly Stock, I think, makes mine. Uh I forget who makes mine. But yeah, we don't have to. I don't wear it very often. No, I don't I don't like things around my waist. Like I wear a belt or now, and that's like the worst that that I'm gonna get. I wear I'll I'll have it sometimes, but I rarely do. I don't really wear it very much. But anyway, so it you know, my my office is 25 miles from or 25 minutes from my house, about 30 miles, because it's all highway to get to my office pretty much. If something were to happen for whatever reason, there's a sustained brownout, right? And I'm on E and I can't get to the house, which is failure plan on my part. I should never be on E. But yeah, that's a good point. Then I've got to get home so I've got to walk, right? And I've got to make sure I have supplies on me because a 30 miles is probably gonna take me 24 hours, right? Because it's not just a straight walk. It's not, it's not like I'm I'm walking in a marathon, right? Like there, there's gonna be security issues, there's going to be terrain issues, I might get injured, I might get hurt, might twist my ankle or something, right? And so it's it's it's gonna take me a little bit to get there. If I'm walking on average three miles an hour, which can be kind of quick for most people, then you're looking at 10 hours if you're doing it straight. That's a lot of walking, especially uphills. Here in Alabama, we have a lot of hills, a lot of mountains. You may not think it, but we're in the foothills of the Appalachians. There's still some there's some elevation going on here. And that's that's a rubber, that's 24 hours of trying to get home through the night. Like right now, like in the in the dead of winter, it the sun up here is about 637 and the sundown is about 430. Right. So I've got eight, nine hours of daylight at most. And that's if the event happened in the morning and I can walk in that whole nine hours. Otherwise, I'm walking at night, which you know, depending on where you're at, that may be the best option. Because if there's a brownout for long enough, as anybody who's seen any city that's had a brownout for you know 12 hours to 24 hours, looting begins to happen. A lot of crime ends up happening because there's no security, there's no lights, there's no electric, and there's police aren't responding to anything. So there's there's kind of like a without rule of law event happening on a micro level. So that's the purpose of the get home bag is to have the supplies you need to get you from your work or wherever you're at that day and get you home to where most of your supplies are, and you're much more able to weather through any type of event, right? People used to love the bug out bag. Like if the end of the world as we know it comes, then I'm just gonna go out to the forest and I'm gonna hunt and like you and everybody else, brother. Like, how many deer are gonna be left? Do you think in a in two months?
SPEAKER_03None.
SPEAKER_01Now y'all gonna be eating slugs. That's what's gonna end up happening. So it I'm much more of a fan of the get home bag than I am a bug out bag, but they they're both two different names for very similar applications. Yeah, yeah. Do you have a do you have a get home bag put together?
SPEAKER_04I do, yeah. How far is your commute? It's about it's about 20 miles, about 25 minutes total. Where and it is almost all, it's a you know, a two-lane highway through the woods. So depending on the situation, you know, whatever happens, like walk like walking along the highway, you know, is probably doable because there's not really population up here, right? But say what happens is like a natural event, like a forest fire, like your your my one or two roads to get back home might be blocked due to fire or something like that, you know. So so my walk could be 20 miles through thick, thick, thick woods across lakes and rivers, things like that.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. I mean, if I went just in a straight line from my office to my house, it would not I would cross four to five, maybe even six, depending on if I'm trying to avoid elevation, two-lane highways, but I will never cross an interstate if I just went straight, you know, line, you know, as the bird flies, right? Right. And it's all woods going through that. It's a lot of hills being in the foothills down here. So uh that would be right. And that might be the most secure way of getting home. It's just gonna take me longer than a day. Yeah, I might be walking at most a mile an hour going through very thick vegetation. And so I've got to be able, okay. So if that does take me more than a day, I've got to be able to bed down at night, or maybe I bed down during the day and normally travel at night in or in for security purposes, right? Um, so these things you gotta think about. So before you start building any type of get home bag, my suggestion is look at where you go on a normal day. What you know, maybe you you do sales and you drive in a certain territory or you work in some type of service industry and you're having to go to people's houses. What is the area that you're most often in and plan from that? How would you get home?
unknownRight?
SPEAKER_04So think of the most likely scenarios, too.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, like a major storm comes through. Like we had the ice storm in 2014 here in Alabama, and people were stranded, and they had to get off the highway, abandon their car on the highway, and go down to strangers' houses and ask to sleep on their couch because they couldn't get home because there's two inches of ice everywhere.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, up here we get what they call dare echoes, which are straight line winds of 100 miles an hour, right? That will just knock down every tree at about 10 feet up and just lays them all flat into like an impenetrable wall, you know, and power will be out for a week up here in some areas.
Housing, Safety, And When To Leave
SPEAKER_01Well, so I'm gonna go through what I have in my bag or just the bag I put together today. This is not even the bag I usually have. I just want to see if I can just put up together another one with a bunch of stuff that I have, and I don't think I did too bad. So I have this is just a this wouldn't be the bag I use. Like this is way too tactical for me to use, but I have this. This is just an extra bag I have. This is just a a Marine Corps day pack. I got it on a surplus site for like 20 bucks, right? And it's I mean, I use this in Afghanistan. It's this thing will outlift me, it's super durable. I've done a couple things to it. I'll put some like glow-in-the-dark zipper tabs on it so I can see this night and see where my zippers are. But these things you don't have to spend a lot on a bag, it just needs to have enough size you can fit as much stuff into it because you're gonna have something that's on your back that's gonna weigh 25 to 30 pounds, right? And if you're not used to walking with 25 to 30 pounds, build something like this out and walk a mile, two miles a day, right? And not fast like fast enough to where you're a little bit out of breath you it's hard to make a conversation you know because you're you're you're breathing a little bit but not you don't have to be running yeah but just and just get used to this because the last thing you want to do the first time you put this thing on is when you need it because then you're it's gonna wear you out it's gonna tear you up so this thing is not expensive at all so it's just really made of one main pouch up here and then there's a smaller pouch right here so let me I'm gonna go in the smaller pouch first just show you all some of the things I just threw in here and we'll I'll explain why so first thing is I just have some gloves these are just mechanics gloves they're multicam I use them around the farm so they fit my hands pretty good now they've got some briars in them I can feel it hitting my knuckle right now which is not fun but you need something to protect your hands be the a good idea so first thing I have some gloves I have a headlamp this is just a Prince Tech or this is a pencil this is just a and it's got white light and it's got red I think it's got blue if I can get to it maybe green yep no and it's just so I can see at night if I need to uh the red light the reason you use red light at night is it is because of the UV spectrum it is much harder to see at night than distances right white light you can see for forever also the red light will keep your night vision much better it will it will help you from destroying your night vision so you can see better at night I have a shamong this is just an American flag one I think I got free with purchase on something else I wouldn't use this I mean maybe right I would probably go something more earth tones maybe I mean that's just the marine enemy but a normal everyday person would probably use this so I probably should use it just so I don't look like I'm military. But it's just it's just something to wrap around my neck in case it gets cold and keep the wind off my neck I can cover my head and kind of break up my outline if I'm in the woods or something or it's just something to to help keep me warm or I can use it to make a cravat I can use it for a bunch of different applications right it's just something good to have these are cheap you can get these for like 15 bucks they sell them on all like military sites they love them in Afghanistan so you can find them everywhere got a pair of binoculars these are my dad these are my dads and my dad probably had them 25 years before he died um they don't even like they just kind of flop around now right like they don't stick anymore but they're decent they're bushnels and I can see for a while just kind of like I they don't stay together I just have to hold them but I've got them zoomed you know I've got them figured to my eyesight and they're they're fine they're probably you don't have to spend any money on these things man you just you can go to surplus stores you can find stuff off you know Facebook Marketplace whatever you don't need to buy anything super expensive I got another little pocket here so I just have a bushcraft knife in here this is from Georgia bushcraft and this is just a scandy grind knife and I've got a faro rod on the on the sheath itself so if I need to start fire I can do that. If you don't know how to start a fire with just a ferro rod you need to learn because although it's much better to have access to like a Vic lighter because it's much more guaranteed those things run out of fuel they leak they break yeah they break they get you know you lose them the blends yeah all of it so having the ability to make fire without a lighter of some sort you're gonna want to be able to and it's a good skill to have like my if my six year old daughter can do it you can it's my it's my seven year old favorite toy like we do we go out to our property and we'll go there we'll just they'll get a bunch of sticks together and I'll pull like some pocket lint out and we'll use that to start it and we'll get the fire and that's how we start our fire we know we don't do it by lighter when we're at the land. Now here at the property when I'm burning limbs and stuff I'm getting out the the propane tank and the blowtorch to get that thing started but when we're out you know it's it's a good skill for them to know how to use I've got some blackbeard just fire starter basically this will make a bunch of fires.
SPEAKER_04What is that it's called Blackbeard Firestarter yep yep I use those those are awesome right you you just need like the smallest section off of here it's almost it's like a cotton ball dipped in wax and compressed really tight if if anybody that does any type of bushcraft knows what char cloth is that's what it is and it's basically cloth that all the moisture's been dried out of it so that it catches real fast.
SPEAKER_01Maybe it's in another pocket so that's you know so far the small pocket does any questions on any of that any any questions like why I have something that I haven't properly explained. No that all makes a lot of sense to me so far. If anything comes up post it guys and I'll uh I'll answer it all right my next my big my big pocket and this is where most everything is first thing I have in here is just a boonie cap right so if I'm walking somewhere I want the the sun off of my neck too so I'll wear something like this because like a ball cap the sun's hitting your neck especially if you're walking for a while and the sun's behind you it's gonna burn your neck right you can have a schmog but if it's hot outside or you don't want something around your neck sweat now you can you know soak it in water and keep it around your neck to keep you cool but you still want something to keep the sun off you so I usually just and they they can be folded up really easy and put in a really small package doesn't take a whole lot so just a hat of some sort this is paper and writing utensils so this is just a notebook basically with a write in the rain notebook that's yeah right and I've got a pencil and a write in the rain pen. In case I need to leave somebody a note in case I need a lot write a last will and testament as you bleed out in case I need to take notes of something that I saw right so you you want to have some type of paper and having some type of paper that can write in the rain as well because it may be raining on you is a good idea. Something else I have in here does anybody know what this is silcoct. So this is yeah this is a silcock key for those of you that may not know if y'all ever see the side of like a commercial building and they have a faucet or they have a spigot but there's like no faucet on it that's what these are used to turn on. So if I'm walking from my office and I'm going past a a commercial building and I'm out of water right if I could have a Silcock key I can go turn their water on fill in my fill up my jug you know whether it's an allergene bottle canteen you know water bottle I still have the office whatever right I could turn the water on.
SPEAKER_04It gives me access to commercial water assuming water's still flying for me something like that would be useless to me because I'm not going to come across a commercial building with with a you know what you'd be surprised well you might run across one in the woods you had no idea was there. True true but like for me what like that sort of space would be better utilized with like a life straw you know something to pull water out of a lake or river because I'm far more likely to come across that so you gotta you gotta modify this stuff to what makes most sense for you in your situation.
SPEAKER_01So in that case in case I don't have access to water I've got a Sawyer water kit in here right so I've got the water filter here I've got the little baggie to fill in the water and filter it through and all that. So in case I don't have access so I've got a redundancy built in just in case right or you could you have a life straw life straw works too I've also got an H2GO which is made by Kana Provisions and what it does is it uses electricity and salt water to create chlorine. Okay. So you can basically purify water.
SPEAKER_04What one of the I was just saying one of the bottles like one of my water bottles in my my bag is a what are they called grail yeah between those so that that's nice too that gets out like gross sediment and stuff but you still need to purify it.
Practical Security Thresholds At Home
SPEAKER_01Yeah yeah right so you use one of those to to get all the sediment and everything out and a lot of times a lot of bacteria most gross bacteria anyway large amounts of bacteria but I won't they won't do like chemicals for instance I don't think right there's chemicals in the water yeah it won't get any of that out that's why you want either want to boil it or if you don't have time for that you can use chlorine or iodine pills you know tablets or whatever and have those as well uh but I you know have a redundancy built in for that and not saying you should use these people this is just an old bag you they do send you a lot of free stuff they do man I got so much free stuff what's oh this is um so I've got some more Firestar stuff in here just got some zippo some zippo all weatherproof matches and I've got some more redundancy this is uh Katie Provision's personal water decon kit these are like six bucks I think it's got 10 purification tablets six antidiarrheal tablets four toilets four rubber bands four alcohol wipes four waterproof bandages two triple antibiotic ointment individual packets and two safety pins I think it's like six or ten bucks and they usually during like you know black friday or something they have a huge deal on these so the I just I've got a bunch of these and I just have them in packs all over I got one in my pack I usually take to the office I've got one in here I've got one just in my car right you never know if you're gonna need it and they're cheap and why not at worst I'll use the antidiarrheal from you know eating Taco Bell for lunch. Who knows? And then what else I got oh I got some so this is I can't remember the term for it this is made in Norway and it is basically just chapstick but it could be used to waterproof things it can be used for a bunch of different but it's like an all natural chapstick basically and I got it I got man I've had this thing it's barely it's like half used man I got this thing in like 2018 I had this thing for like eight years it's been a long time I think I I think I just moved to Alabama when I got it so again y'all can see like I've got redundancies built in what's next oh this is just a tart uh this is actually a poncho it's a military poncho and I've got about 75 maybe 80 yards of 550 line in here and some stakes some fancy stakes right so this is I create a shelter. Uh we just create a quick a-frame shelter if I want to I've got some extra 550 cord in there in case I want to uh use it for anything but this is just if it's storming is something and I need to bed down for the day or the night or I want to get out of the sun for a while I can this takes three minutes to throw this thing up 30 seconds to pull it down. And just I can stuff it all in here. That's all this is uh this is probably two and a half pounds I'm running out of places to put all this stuff all right uh what's it oh Maurice food highly suggest you need calories if you're walking a long distance the last thing you want to do is be dehydrated and hungry if y'all never gotten the shakes from being hungry and having your blood sugar down so low it's not fun I can tell you I've done it a few times so yeah I've got two MREs in here. These are ever safe meal kits so these are like civilian versions of uh MREs that I got a long time ago I think these have the heater in them yeah they do for my for my go bag or whatever you want to call it I like to use either the uh the first strike rations they're the 24 hour ones that you know it doesn't have the heater yeah the the super uh like the meat stick in it yeah yeah the meat stick it's got the little Italian beef sandwich sort of thing you know it's it's nothing you heat up or anything like that it's super disgusting for the most part but it's it's not bad no they're really not too bad actually but it's it's super small it's it's compact and it's got 24 hours of of in like 3000 calories worth of it yeah it's got like 3000 I think the winter rations have five five thousand calories in them we we got those in afghanistan in 2009 uh those and the halal meals that we were put to give out and oh the humanitarian ones no like these were just like straight these are actually really good the halal ones we got we just we used to eat them and not give them out because they like we just needed something different than MRE's a little dub we eat all the halal meals a lot of curry but yeah I mean get some type of you know some type of dehydrated food yeah uh is good uh yeah the brand new uh close combat rations are available to the public now those are like it's like almost all like energy gels and yeah I mean literally the most processed food you can possibly imagine but super easy to digest well hey you won't eat antidiarrheal tablets that's for sure that that is true so I have a whistle as a signaling device so in case god forbid I get like down a ravine and I can't get up it you know I can signal for help of some sort uh you want to have some type of signaling because you might be able to have to communicate somebody you may meet somebody on the route that's going the same way you do and you you've developed some trust with them you want to have some way to be able to communicate with them in case something happens and then I have an old compass that was my grandfather's from World War II I've got this in there. Like I should have keep it as collector's item but it's so beat up that like it works but it's like I can't do anything with it. But I've got this in there because I've got to know which direction I'm going. Because if if you're in deep vegetation it's hard to tell which way the sun's coming so having a compass to be able to keep you on bearing is a good idea. Some things I don't have in here and I just didn't have time to do today throwing this thing together for y'all was printed maps and laminated maps.
SPEAKER_04I was going to ask you about that with the compass.
SPEAKER_01Yeah that way like I can get an idea of you know what the major routes coming through are so I can prepare for them as I'm coming up on them. Because if it's an issue where there's a lot of like roving band of opportunistic criminals then you want to stay from any away from any major thoroughfares you want to cross them very quickly right so being aware that they're coming up is a good idea. As well as if you're coming across any military installations police stations things like that. So you can know what you know where you're at basically yeah and if you get lost you know how to get your bearing when you see some type of major terrain feature to be able to get you back on track of where you're going. Because there's nothing worse than getting lost and it's not your fault you're following somebody else because you haven't been paying attention because you've been bearing you've been following somebody else the whole time like never let women lead you anywhere because they have no sense of direction whatsoever my wife is going to hate me when she's probably gonna text me in a minute yelling at me for that but she knows it she's not good at directions.
SPEAKER_04It has taken my wife and no offense hope this is the truth and you know it's a minimum of three to four years once we move to a new place to like get to be able to drive around without you know get on her phone.
Pivot To Gear: Why A Get-Home Bag
SPEAKER_01Yeah yeah because like why especially since the invention of GPS and like maps or whatever right way it's ruined a lot of people like no one even knows the names of roads anymore. Yeah they just know it's a left right like when I tell my wife well you want to go north from here she's like north what north just tell me am I taking the left of dairy queen or not like you're taking the left of dairy queen that's going north and it's ruined a lot of people you know I remember back in the day we were talking about this last we had a family over for from mass on Saturday after or from church on Saturday and we were talking about like I was explaining them when my wife and I first got married and we took a trip and I had to print out map quest and follow directions like I was a pirate you know trying to go somewhere right like my kids would never know what to do with that now you know and we don't do it and that we're so spoiled what happens if the GPS system gets jammed and goes down right which has happened in Iran like the last like 45 days so if you're over there as a cab driver and you don't know the names of roads you're screwed you're depending on schways or whatever they use in Iran you're in a bad spot using the Russian uh what's the glass nose or whatever yeah so that is what I have in my bag as far as what about get the guns so this is what I have in my bag right now it's just my CZ CZ shadow compact I don't have the carry because I bought this two weeks before the carry came out and he'll never ever not resent that I will never ever like to be honest with you I wouldn't I wouldn't buy the carry now anyway because this trigger is way better than the carries but it the peace of mind of knowing of having that striker or not striker pin the the drawing blank hammer the hammer safety the uh fire pin blocking pin safety yeah so that's the only but to be honest with you I carry in double action anyway and I've gotten used to shooting with double action right on my first shot so I mean that's a safety as it gets and you can still uh like what quarter compound thing right yeah I mean you can do the like it's a half cock now right right yeah I mean right but very unlikely something's gonna happen to but the trigger on the single action man double action I mean is golly so nice such a like I shoot so well with this gun it's crazy I'm hitting like a miniaturized C zone steel target at like 65 yards nine out of ten times it's I I honestly don't know why they went why I don't know why do they go striker fired I mean I know why I get why but I mean I get like I'm way quicker with my Glock way quicker right my first with that first shot yeah my first shot's way faster with my Glock because I you know that and and on this but I bet your splits are faster trigger a lot as I'm going out right but my Glock man because I don't have to worry about doing a safety or or a really heavy trigger like my first shots now I'm not I'm not a subsecond guy whatsoever like I don't have the time to practice that much right I got a family in a farm it's not happening but I'm a solid at least at worst one and a half seconds right and but I carry appendix I don't carry three o'clock or four o'clock so I'm a little bit faster because of that but even as a big guy I carry appendix I have no problem with it but you know I just I don't have I don't have the time to to practice to get the faster one and a half seconds gonna have to do right that guy's faster one and a half seconds going to meet my Lord that's what's gonna happen like that guy is obviously willing to put in the time and effort to be better than just about everybody else. Yeah but that's what I have today right I may have my Glock 19 in mind. And it and normally like I wouldn't be walking with this thing on my appendix like I'm I've thought about putting in like an outside the waistband holster as well with it. It'd be a lot more comfortable to carry as I'm walking now I mean I could just shift it to inside the waistband at like three or four o'clock and it'd be a little bit more better but like if I had to cinch down that belt I mean that would be that would hurt forever a while after walking you know you know two three miles uh it's gonna hurt but that's what I would carry what do you what do you got oh I got lots of things because as I find firearms for this sort of purpose have the it's been like the most exciting area of development in firearms I feel like over the last you're talking about PDWs and PCCs.
SPEAKER_04Yeah PDWs PCCs that sort of thing like over the last five years so many cool guns have come out in that area. So let's see here. Where do we want to start? Well we'll start small and go big. So give me a second here.
SPEAKER_01So as far as why he's doing that, I want to get a Springfield Kuna because they make a there's a company that makes a lower for it now that you can put a super safe trigger or a force recharge set trigger into it. And you do that and and get a can on some type of a chemo or Xeno hub lock system man. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Yeah so one of one of the my options is actually the Springfield Kuna here. Let's see if I can get a good it just does not work great. Hold on let me turn on more lights make this brighter.
SPEAKER_01For those of y'all that so a PDW is a personal defensive weapon is you what it's most commonly known as. There might be some other changes to some of the letters in there but that's mostly what you're going to see. PCC is a pistol carbine pistol caliber carbon pistol caliber carbine. So like an AR with a nine millimeter right like that is that would be considered a PDW right because the barrel's like six inches like it's the super short.
SPEAKER_04Okay so here's the Kuna.
SPEAKER_01So yeah this is a no this well this is kind of both a PCC and a PDW right I think it's considered a PD that's the problem with the these monikers right like they're so nebulous.
SPEAKER_04So this is this is a a nine millimeter so it just takes nine millimeter like like most of your pistols do 30 caliber or 30 round proprietary magazine which is one of the the downsides in their plastic so they can they can bring don't they uh they'll take the scorpion magazines won't they oh that's a good question I haven't tried no no that so the lower I was looking at takes the scorpion magazines.
SPEAKER_01Okay. Yeah but you see I got this one with a a red dot and light but I do not have a nine mil can so is that your next purchase it's somewhere down the road I don't know what next next you get get one that's head compatible so you can put it on real quick I saw so Dirty Civilian did a really good video like a month ago they did a really cool trick they did was they put electrical tape on a suppressor and if you have a direct thread suppressor you put it on just thread and just pull the spin it on man I've because I've got I've got a 22 with a 22 suppressor that I use for it all the time. Yeah it's a direct thread I was like oh I'm doing that don't leave it on because it'll burn on but you gotta get it off but yeah I was like man those little things that are starting to happen because suppressors are much more common now. Right. So we're starting to see little things like that that are coming out. Yep.
SPEAKER_04You know like I love quality of life improvements.
What’s In The Bag: Light, Fire, Water
SPEAKER_01Yeah exactly I was listening to Focus Trip. He had the guys on from Troy Amory armorments whatever this Troy whatever and they were talking about some of the things they're doing and they're just making like a lot they're kind of criticizing some other companies and what they do because they're just basically chasing marketing. Yeah but they just some of the stuff they're talking about that they do especially with their supposedly that they're claiming to have the quietest least flash and most durable 556 can on the market right now because they're making they're kind of criticizing that ambient arms suppressor that's claiming to be cooled from external air or whatever right right like the everything that the ambient arms is claiming like they're they're basically claiming it could be cheap fast and good right like you can't you can get two of those three yeah so they're like no we got all three this time and everybody's like did you but yeah so just to kind of so I get so here's one option in this kind of category to compare it to another option that category would be this is the MP SP5K the civilian version so they're both nine millimeter roller delayed PDWs with folding braces but keep in mind with a PDW or even a PCC your your longest you're really going to shoot out to is 100 yards at most yes yep right because really these barrels and these two guns are not much longer than what's in my pit you know nine millimeter handgun so you're not getting much increased velocity you're really getting no extra power you're getting you know a more braced firing position yeah and probably depending on what the setup is better optics but that's about it. Yeah yeah it's the same thing with like the flux right or Palmetto State's got their own coming out of camera what they called it all it is is a pistol that's a little bit more stable right that's what allows you to get faster shots and longer shots yeah eight shots like if you're one something with you know reach out to 250 200 yards you're looking more like a 300 blackout what why are you zooming in camera do I need to bring up the picture again no no but so the guy who runs Christian warrior training did a bunch of testing on like PDWs and stuff for church security right and basically you know he rated them by like most reliable and accurate and most affordable right and he's kind of you know rating them based on that and the one that came out on top for him was the jackal 300 blackout pistol it was the most accurate most reliable I can't hear you I know I'm yelling at my camera I don't want you hearing me yelling voice but you're looking at me and talking I can't hear you man. So the 300 blackout jackal pistol which you can get for like 900 000 bucks or whatever it came out on top for him because the 300 I love 300 blackout like I'm not using 300 blackout to go more than 200 meters anyway 200 yards you know whatever standard of length you want to use but it's the the the best benefit about 300 blackout is it's super quiet like movie quiet if you want it to be if you get some subs and a good can on that thing it's super quiet. Like right now my 300 blackout is basically it's the Palmetto State mixtape before it was the mixtape like I basically built the mixtape from their own parts before they put out the mixtape and I've got a and but I've got a 300 so here here's actually the the 300 uh jackal pistol yeah that would fit in a backpack easy it does yep yeah that's generally what I have my can on yeah was that the uh dead air dead air yeah is that the same X uh yes correct so yeah I mean with the can off and with the the braze folded it's three or four inches longer than those nine millimeter PDW's it's definitely heavier right but but like you said it's got a lot more capability. Yeah we've got like four or five people who are watching it right now and we're really impressed that I know exactly what can that was right yeah the only reason I know what can it was I've no because I've been looking at buying one for like six months and I look at it all the time like I like it a lot. I mean I it's my only one so I don't have experience with any others yeah but I have I forget which well it's got the the Xeno hub now is what I because the chemo they had issues with the chemo hitting hitting baffles yeah so I have the chemo because that's what okay is now it was specifically the Saker no which one was it it was specifically one dead air silencer that was doing it with the with the chemo but the zeno apparently fixed that yeah it was their it was their 5561 that kind of gave them a bad name for a while I forget what they called and they weren't like warrantying them for whatever reason they're weren't it was taking like two years to get it fixed and it was a big debacle. But I look I've been looking at getting the the same index for a while I just and pulled the trigger I mean I've got a Huxworks and when it comes to like 556 specifically you you're not gonna get a whole lot of sound suppression you're gonna get some but you're more looking for like flash suppression more than anything yeah and with the flow of the Hux works that's why with it because that way I don't have a bunch of gas in my face because my stuff here on blackout when I'm shooting that thing like I am breathing it man like it is a cloud of witnesses constantly in my face how heavy is that gun old Jamima wants to know I haven't weighed it I didn't look at the X memorized but it's seven pounds.
SPEAKER_04Yeah it's um because it's it's got that you know a different operating system from an AR it's definitely heavier for its size yeah but it's I mean it's significantly heavier than those nine millimeter pdws but it's really not too bad.
SPEAKER_01Yeah and that yeah that I mean that's kind of the trade-off like you're always gonna have to take some and and give some with a lot of these like if you want more capability than or more you know ability to reach out you're gonna go with a a bigger round than a nine mil right but if you're just looking at having more firepower within 100 yards or maybe even 50 yards you're gonna go with the SPK or you're gonna go with the you know any type of PDW maybe maybe even the flux right is going to give you more capability than just having a you know a firearm a pistol because my pistol even if I have even say my Glock I've got a mag extension on it which gives me an extra three rounds right at still only 18 plus one you know 18 in the mag and one in the chamber it's only 19 whereas one mag on a kuna will have 30. Right.
SPEAKER_04Yeah the flux I really wish this wasn't the 320 base one um but the the the palmeadows version looks pretty cool we have to look into that but yeah what's nice about this is is you these are the smaller mags but you can get the 30 round yeah uh p320 mags and have basically 60 rounds there you know you got a nice light on it your red dot and and it you you get that little bit of extra connection support yeah yeah and that would be like I've seen some guys holster those things I I have a holster for it I haven't ever worn it but I do have a holster for it yeah and so like it's not it's not a more powerful round it's just giving more stability so you can be more accurate. Yeah and the barrel it's it's I mean this really is just a a 320 with with that brace on it so it's it's a little bit more stable.
Shelter, Food, Maps, And Signals
SPEAKER_01Yeah and that's something you can easily put in a backpack like a get home bag of some sort if you're not one to carry the firearm on you. Yep or maybe you decide hey I'm gonna carry a you know a pistol caliber carbine on me you know of some type maybe it's like a little six inch AR uh chamber to nine mil or maybe chamber 40 or 10 millimeter right whatever it is.
SPEAKER_04One of my kind of favorite options for this sort of thing so this is a Smith and Wesson FPC folding pistol carbine kit or yeah I think that's what it stands for. This is in 10 millimeter and it it for I don't know it's probably what 16 inches long here. And you just unfold it and so you actually do get a longer barrel. I think it's a 16 inch barrel because it has a full stock on it. So even a nine millimeter this would get a little bit extra velocity than over your handgun. But what I really like about this is that it takes it has it car stupid camera. It carries three magazines two down here and then of course one loaded but it takes MP mags. So if I have my 10 millimeter MP as my carry gun that day they're they're fully interchangeable completely.
SPEAKER_01Yeah that's a good option too we have 104 people watching us the way it codes Twitter viewers is it it like cumulative yeah let's see do I have anything else I want to show oh first aid kit yes have one like I'm not gonna show y'all seen them before y'all y'all seen you can see them online anywhere but just have one in there because even one that just has like band-aid and stuff in it I'll have that in there I just I just looked at my belt behind me.
SPEAKER_04I was like oh yeah first aid kit that'd be a good idea have one of those just in case last thing you want is like have a laceration and you bleed out 10 miles from home yeah right all right um let me see let me consult the book but with all the guns the key the key is half I mean have something obviously you should have something on you at all times anyways need something to protect you but if if you can have something a little bit more even so some other things in here that he lists in the book so if you don't have this get this this is just this is number one right just get number one some things that I haven't put in there like one of them's like duct tape right you always want that because you can use duct tape as first aid you probably should have that in your first aid kit.
SPEAKER_01Yeah I usually have a big lighter with duct tape wrapped around it I got about 10 feet of duct tape wrapped around it so I can just pull off and keep it that way. Hygiene kit right some way to brush your teeth you know gel wipes or something and let's see some other things I missed radio right even just that pulls up radio stations. So in case there's some type of emergency broadcast you can hear it yeah because they're gonna replay that over and over especially on like the NOAA stations you know having some way to listen to that extra socks is always a good idea. The one thing they always tell us in the Marine Corps if you were hurt or whatever was drink water take Motrin change your socks so now it's like a it's drink water take motrin and change your shots now it's just like a running joke with anybody who's ever been in the military did you drink water marine did you drink water and change your socks I know your leg's broken but did you change your socks take over there got shelter got blades you know you always want to have more than one blade either like a pocket knife and a fixed blade. Yes I if you're a man and you're not carrying a a folding knife on you you're wrong.
SPEAKER_04One your father failed you and so did your grandfather and every uncle you ever had my grandfather for my sixth birthday bought me my first pocket knife and taught me how to use it.
SPEAKER_01Yep extra socks the jacket would be a good idea but you know you have a poncho that works too extra batteries for anything that takes batteries you know in case you didn't check the batteries when you were you know checking you should be checking it like every month yeah make sure batteries go switch out batteries things like that uh you have a USB solar charger wouldn't be a terrible idea either yeah those are they're okay right like like if you keep them charged they're fine but if like you actually want them to charge with the sun like you're gonna be home before that thing's charged.
SPEAKER_04Uh uh no no man have you seen some I got some that fold out probably almost as long as my arm oh really they will they will charge a phone in 45 minutes really if it I mean unless it's like super cloudy yeah but in and any partly and parts parts on they will charge a phone pretty quick like I've got like the little battery bank with a solar panel on it.
Sidearms, PDWs, And Tradeoffs
SPEAKER_01Oh no I'm talking like the fold out like I've got one of those in the car. Okay yeah that's it's it that's in the you know the pocket behind the seat yeah and it but it's heavy is the issue it is they are they are pretty solid so that's why I don't I wouldn't carry it but yeah I mean that's everything he goes over like his next one is the belt kit like what to if you want to have some belt kit that operates similarly and then he gives into like an ED we might go through an EDC bag next time I'll show you also like I do a speed ball those of y'all that don't know what a speed ball is when out of Ant he's kind of speedball guys. Yeah he knows exactly what a speed ball is so when some type of direct action unit if they're in a sustained firefight they would normally have some type of bird or somebody come in and drop a backpack full of magazines pretty much right that's a speedball it's just a bunch of extra ammo I might have an IFAC in there too might have some batteries too but it's mostly ammo so I've got things like that stashed in different places we'll say but I've also got some like if I if I take a trip somewhere and I'm gonna I'm gonna be more than like two hours away from the house I'm bringing a speed ball and a rifle. Yeah because if something happens we have some like like riot or something I'm I'm getting home I've got a wife three girls and a son like I'm getting home right and or I'm gonna be dead it's gonna be one or the other like you're not gonna stop me and so I always have those things capable in case I need them and it's it's funny because I was talking to a friend of mine the other day and I told him that and like everybody knows me at church is like I'm the like the military guy right and like they know like that's what I do. That and money are the two things I'm known for right not giving out money but you know teaching people how to better use their money. But but uh but he was shot he's like you like you go you you get a rifle if you're going to like like from here to Huntsville is like two hours right he said you'd bring a rifle I was like hell yes he's like do you know how many towns I have to go through to get to Huntsville you know how many of those towns are nothing but rednecks and minorities like I'm gonna get home right I've never seen a sundown town in Alabama I've I'm told they're here by people who don't live here right of course but I've never seen one but I don't want to run into one for the first time I've ever seen like I've never been to Selma either right but I don't think it's not a sundowntown but there might be either head rows apart never mind they just asked her to move over man that's how that's that's a that's how dramatic women are probably just asked her to move over she never mind did you watch that John Doyle video on her I cannot stand him but yes those are actually really I can't stand either but those voice videos are really good they are they are yeah they've been they've been really good but yeah I'm getting home like especially like for example I usually go down to the beach orange beach or you know something down the coast of Alabama. If y'all didn't know Alabama has the best beaches in the United States I have heard that actually bar none and I've been to like I've lived in Florida the Gulf beaches are the best anyway but Alabama portion of the Gulf beaches are the best so like you have Gulf Shores you have Orange Beach areas like and then you get into like Pensacola area like Destin and stuff it's it's still good it's just the way more people over there. But I go down the beach you know once a year normally and I'm taking it with in fact two weekends from now I'm going to Auburn taking my boy to go to a basketball and a baseball game in one weekend. They're at a point there the Auburn team is actually bad enough that I can afford tickets this year. And I'm taking it with me and that's an hour and 45 minutes from here right because I'm not going to be caught flat footed like I'm getting my boy home right and you're not gonna stop me. I'm also gonna have bear mace in the door as well so if I roll up on a riot the NTV right and they're blocking roads everybody getting sprayed you need to get some of those the Havocs from uh I know you know you can get like civilian quality flashbangs they're not reusable like like those like the whatever they right but it's like they're they're like 40 bucks each you just have to do like a quick 15 minute class on their on their website that's mandated by the federal government and you can buy them so what you do is you use the re you the reusable ones for training and then you buy the the disposable ones for when you actually need real life I mean you could use the disposable ones in real but like put like some string on it you throw it and then pull it back in you know Bam, bitch. Put it on a put it on a fishing roll. Gotcha. What'd you pick that one up for? Now you got two last fingers.
SPEAKER_04So you know that video from Minneapolis, right? You know that was a guy. That was a dude. That was a dude. That was an Indian. Did not look like one Native American dude.
SPEAKER_01Did not look like one. Did not sound like it. That testosterone was real low on that one.
SPEAKER_04Yep.
SPEAKER_01Alright. What else we want to go over? Anything? Well, y'all. I'm gonna give you all the choice for next time we get together. I'm gonna go over something else in this book. I'm gonna I'm gonna tell Joe I'm using his book too. I I have all his books. Maybe he'll pull up. The bare minimum supply. Well, we've kind of done that already. I don't want to do that again. We'll do like the patrol or EDC bag. We got that? Or organizing a team. Y'all let me know what y'all want to do. Join uh join Telegram. I'll put a poll up in Telegram.
SPEAKER_04What is the difference between what we just talked about and an EDC bag?
SPEAKER_01What's the difference? An EDC bag is gonna be something you have on you every day. And you're gonna carry around with you, and it's not just like sitting in your car to help you get home.
SPEAKER_04Okay, so it's something you literally have on you.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Like I have a backpack, you know, in addition to my work bag, like wherever I go. And it's got things in it. Right. Some of it's just like a notebook or the book I'm reading for the you know the week, or like I've got a tourniquet in it. And some boo boo stuff.
SPEAKER_04And yeah, we could do an e yeah. I I suppose what I carry it's probably more an EDC bag than a bugle bag. Because it's it's basically first, you know, an IFAC, whatever else I might need just to have with me. It's got like my medicine, you know, my inhaler, my yeah, my knickknacks, and then usually like the SP5 in there or something.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. And like we'll go we'll go, you know, some things that you may want to think about having with you all the time. You know, plus EDC bag videos do great for whatever reason. I don't know why.
SPEAKER_04Well, I'll probably put up this hour as a clip on YouTube as bug off bag. Because we if it's an uploaded clip, it can have guns in it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Okay.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, that's what it has smoke in it. It has Enola Gay smoke bombs in it. I'll have to I have to try those. They're fine. They they burn for about 90 seconds. They're they're so they market them more for like photography, but they they work well for other things, we'll say. I'll tell you one thing, if you ever want to scare the piss out of somebody, strike off a road flare and throw it at them.
SPEAKER_04What does that do with the smoke bomb?
SPEAKER_01Well, I'm I'm just it's it's in it's like a tangent to it, but because like you can buy road flares at Walmart for like 10 years.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01You know, but strike that thing off and throw it at 'em, man. People flip out. Like you you're gonna see a fat guy run real fast at that point.
SPEAKER_04I think that might be some foreshadowing as to what some foreshadowing as to some clips that are gonna come out of our meetup in April. Adrian just throwing road flares at me.
SPEAKER_01Alright, so go to Telegram. Uh I'll put a poll, y'all let me know which one y'all, which video y'all rather go over. And I'm going to I'm releasing the dates for the campout on Thursday. The reason I'm waiting until Thursday is because I'm getting a yes or no on something before I pick a date for something. So I'll release it on third the day after Ash Wednesday. And one thing I want to challenge y'all on, especially with getting into Lent, consider taking on more fasting than you were initially intending to do. Right? In Lent, I usually fast on Fridays. Like I don't eat till three every Friday, and I abstain. And usually what I eat, I usually go to the like the Knights of Columbus fish fry for it. And that's what that's my meal for the day on Fridays. Because it helps support in our parishes, it helps support the seminarians, uh, is what the knights collect money for for that. But this year I'm taking on Wednesday as well. So I'm gonna do Wednesday and Friday, fasting and abstaining. Uh and I challenge y'all to do the same thing. Pick something that's a little hard, right? Quit being a wuss, be a man.
PCCs, Suppressors, And Caliber Choices
SPEAKER_04Really proud of my seven-year-old. So this weekend we were talking about how now that he's seven, he should think about giving up something for Lent. Because it's not something we've really required up to this point. Yeah. And you know, we're and I'm telling him how you know it needs to be something that you enjoy, and the harder it is to give up, the better. So one of his favorite pastimes is playing Minecraft. It's like his thing. And he just right out of the booth, he goes, I'm gonna give up Minecraft. Was like, wow, I thought you were gonna say like Dr. Pepper or Tootsie Rolls or No, he went right to the one thing I thought for sure he would not ever choose. Yeah, so that was that was uh proud to do that.
SPEAKER_01Hopefully he didn't bite off more than he could chew, you know, it doesn't become too hard. Like my boy, my boy's nine, and he's we got him a Yodo for Christmas. I don't know if y'all know what that is, but it's like a kid's radio type thing that you can put music and stuff on cards, right? Yep, and he and he just got it for Christmas. He's like, I'm gonna give up my yodo. And I had to like step in, like, no, you're not, you're not giving that up because you just got it, and like you need to enjoy it, you need to give up something else, right? Sometimes, as a parent, you need to protect your kids from their because they're gonna go, they're gonna be passionate about it because you they see you passionate about it. Yeah, and sometimes you gotta protect them from themselves on some things, and so like now if for next year he wants to get take, yeah, go for it, give it up. But like, you just got this thing, let's enjoy it for a little bit before we get rid of it, let's choose something else. Like, I have my six-year-old girl, you know. So, what I've been focusing on her since she turned six last month was you know, up until now, she's kind of like when we do our rosary every day, we we usually do our family rosary around 6:30 or 7 every day. And we had been doing it with like follow along on YouTube for a while for the kids, yeah, right, and that helps them. And sometimes it was just like one that it's got Gregorian chant and it does the prayers, and you we just follow along with it. And then we did the Father Patrick Payton ones for a little bit. The kids love those, yeah. I haven't seen those. The only the only downside to it is the cadence is a little off on the responses, so you can be and they don't do the Fatima prayer on them, but the kids like that because it uses scenes from an old 50s movie about the life of Christ, basically. Okay, and they love they love and it's really and it's I honestly I want to find what this movie is because they never show Christ's face, the entire movie. Really? It's always the back of him, even as a child, like you never so you can't you can't personalize him, right? Which I I think is fantastic, but now it's to the point where we do it, we don't well, I might put some Gregorian chant on in the background and do the rosary, but it's you know, I all my kids do a decade and I do the final decade, right? And my littlest, she's gonna be having first communion in a year, so for her, I've started totally like up till now, she basically just like kind of hangs out, and like she might do some of the prayers, she might not, right? Because she doesn't really want to sit down long enough to do it. But I've challenged her for the next year, say, look, you need to get start getting used to doing the whole rosary with us and all the responses because you're going to be able to partake in the Eucharist in a year, and you need to prepare for that. And she's really, you know, taking it on. And she, I mean, she lapses occasionally because she forgets, and you know, whatever. We've got a puppy that's like running around and like trying to chew on everything while we're doing the rosary, but you know, but she's done better, just and your kids need challenges, you know, you hold them to a higher standard, and they're going to try to meet it. You know, is if they think it's important to you, they're going to do it. Um, so just don't be afraid to to let your kids do hard things because you're going to find out what kind of person they are when you do that as well. But like I get my challenge to y'all, take on something a little harder. Take another day of fasting this year for Lent. I know Rob's probably doing some type of devotion. It'll be on the channel. It's always good.
SPEAKER_04Yep, gonna do divine intimacy.
SPEAKER_01Nice. Are you gonna do both of the reading?
SPEAKER_02Like, because it has like two.
unknownRight?
SPEAKER_02I'm gonna I'm gonna do yeah, I'm gonna do the whatever it has for the day.
SPEAKER_04It's usually not too bad. It's like maybe three pages usually per day.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. It's not yeah. The length isn't bad. It's just it's usually got two different readings that is sometimes there there isn't a lot of continuity between them. Yeah, I know what you mean. Yeah, but it's I mean, if y'all don't have divine emancy, you should get it. It's fantastic.
SPEAKER_04And get the get the get the actual one that was written for the the old calendar guys. Yeah, because they had to really bastardize it to get it to make it fit the new calendar, and it's just not the same. No.
SPEAKER_01Bronius press does it, right? Yeah, they've got the really good one. Yep. Yeah, that's the one I got. They uh in our fraternist chapter, they had there's a knighthood for fraternists as well, and they we have a guy who gives them out to all the new knights and oh wow. So like not exactly a cheap book, no, not at all. Like one year he gave out like 30 of them. Wow. He caught everybody up who had not got one already. But yeah, he's and they're fantastic. Like uh our the guy so the the guy who is the co-editor of Sword and Spade magazine. If y'all, if y'all haven't read if you're not getting Sword and Spade Magazine, you need to get that. But he's goes to my parish and he's he's always quoting from it all the time. And this is a guy who owns a mechanic shop, he's as blue-collar as it comes. Uh and he, you know, he he took over the mechanic shop from his dad, him and his brother did. They worked in it up until they did that. Right now they just manage it. Now all their sons work there, basically. And so, but he swears by it. And he's always quoting from it, and it's always I always get something good from it when he talks about it. So y'all should definitely pay attention to Rob doing those devotions. They'll be they'll definitely be a benefit to you in your spiritual life.
SPEAKER_04And please just watch them so it makes them feel like they're worth people like saying something out of them because it's it's a lot of work for 40 days. I'm not gonna lie.
SPEAKER_01So, like one thing I struggled with, especially doing this show, was like, you know, when we move from y'all's channel to our own channel, like a viewership cratered, right? Yep, and I'm okay with that, right? If we have like five people that watch it get something out of it, and that's I'm okay with it. Like, to be honest with you, it's just a time for me to hang out.
SPEAKER_04I gotta show off how many guns today. That was awesome.
SPEAKER_01So it just it's just uh it's a matter of like it's just us hanging out. We get to invite other people to to join with us if they want to. And then we have one guy who is not taffy telling me that I probably have flashbangs in my EDC bags.
SPEAKER_04So it's fun. Why not? Also, is using road flares to torture animals.
SPEAKER_01He's definitely killed somebody and ate their skin before.
SPEAKER_04I was gonna say, I mean, that's that's um bad camper stuff right there.
SPEAKER_01He does he definitely has a really weird lamp in his house.
SPEAKER_04And it's just the one from a Christmas story.
SPEAKER_01All right, so join Telegram. I don't know if have you put the link in for Telegram. Well Robin put it on X on X.
SPEAKER_04I mean not really. If you want the link, DM Adrian or me on Twitter if you're watching on Twitter, or leave a comment on the YouTube version and I'll get it to you.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, we'll get it to you. Join Telegram, it was a good time over there. We look we talk we talk about a lot of good number of topics. We have Intel going on over there, we post fire, you know, firearms and training and deals and all kinds of stuff over there. And sometimes we just go have a bunch of memes that get posted for a while. So it's a good time. Come join Telegram and check for Thursday. I will post the details for the campo out on Thursday in Telegram.
SPEAKER_04We can also put them uh I don't know if we want to put them on the YouTube community page. Probably not, huh?
SPEAKER_01Let's leave it on Telegram because it's gonna be a limited space available.
SPEAKER_04Good point.
SPEAKER_01We'll do that. All right, guys. We're gonna get out of here and we will see y'all next week. On someday, we never know. We almost got pushed to the side by Anthony tonight.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, Anthony tried really hard today, guys. Anthony really wanted to talk about e-girls, and which is why he kind of did it in his truck for six minutes when we posted a clip of that.
First Aid, Power, Redundancy, And EDC
SPEAKER_01Yeah. So one one day next week we will be here. One day. Hopefully Monday. But if not, maybe Friday. We'll see.
SPEAKER_03You never know.
