January 2022 - Episodes 41-50

Episode 41 - 01/05/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 41, I discuss the Harvest Right freeze dryers. While there is considerable up-front expense associated with this method of food storage prep, it is a viable food preparation method. He also steps through the 5 methods for preparing food for long term storage. This is a VERY informative show so give it a listen... or watch it. Whatever works for you.

Episode 42 - 01/07/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 42, I discuss the two-years too late GA ballot harvesting probe. From there, I pretty much spend the rest of the show explaining how this "New World Order" may be a thing. I point to recent developments like federal financial regulatory body resignations, financiers, government and private sector leaders, and countries as a whole making moves and counter moves in order to ensure that they call the shots and remain in charge. Microchips, disarming citizens, dissolution of free speech... the terms and conditions of their rule must be accepted or you'll find yourself in a detention center or doing time for insulting someone or saying/doing something they don't like.

Episode 43 - 01/12/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 43, I discuss why winter is the optimal time to perform your yearly assessment and then take that information to better plan for the year ahead. Assessments includes taking advantage of the winter months to build your knowledge base in terms of reading and researching as well as determining if there are skills you are lacking. Be willing to learn. Be a sponge. Be humble.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep43 (video)

Episode 44 - 01/15/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 44, I discuss Democrat messaging and the overall transparency of their agenda surrounding "voter suppression." Needless to say, this really gets me going because voter suppression is a myth. What they are actually trying to circumvent is voting integrity. After that gets me fired him, I turn my attention to Botox Pelosi and her refusal to even discuss limiting Congress members from insider trading. The planet must be off its axis... I actually agreed with AOC on the matter.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep44 (video)

Episode 45 - 01/19/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 45, I discuss the three types of canning methods and when to use which. From there, I walk through the different types of bows available and his impressions of each. I highly recommend an air rifle too. Specifically, one that you pump up. After that, I finish the show by discussing my wife's surprise at what I had managed to squirrel away without her knowledge while we were in quarantine together. Getting a SO on-board helps everybody.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep45 (video)

Episode 46 - 01/22/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 46, I provide some firsthand knowledge of the shenanigans occurring in the Peoples House via FL Representative Kat Cammack. After that, I discuss the SCOTUS decisions regarding vax mandates and the results of the Rasmussen poll.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep46 (video)

Episode 47 - 01/22/2022 (Jackassery Show) *BONUS EPISODE* - In Episode 47, I discuss the six former SEALs running for Congress for the express purpose of removing Botox Pelosi from her speakership. I question whether or not Ryan Zinke can manage a return given his unceremonious exit from the Swamp in 2018. I even figured out how to download from YouTube to insert their 30-second commercial spot. After that, I have some fun with an article from the annals of the absurd. I close the show by discussing Senators Sinema and Manchin saving the dems from their short-sightedness by playing the long-game, Democrat state leaders doing 180’s after turning their cities/states into 3rd World hell-holes, and the influence and results of Soros money in the electing of progressive DA’s.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep47 *BONUS EPISODE* (video)

Episode 48 - 01/26/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 48, I review a top-ten list of items needed to survive on the road and compares their list against my Vehicle Planning list from the book Preparing to Prepare. After that, I discuss my email correspondence with a listener and details out what I actually provided was four of the six pieces of information comprising the elements of Location and Security.

Episode 49 - 01/26/2022 (Preparedness Show) *BONUS EPISODE* - In the Preparedness Bonus Episode (Episode 49), I continue my thoughts on relocation as I explain what an ideal scenario might entail when it comes to viewing large parcels of land. Close-knit groups of family and friends looking to be near one another on contiguous pieces of property need this mindset to afford the largest most expensive plots.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep49 *BONUS EPISODE* (video)

Episode 50 - 01/29/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 50, I start off the show by discussing the left’s inability to debate the merits of anything without resorting to Killary’s ‘basket of deplorables’ name calling. From there, I review Catherine Herridge’s report on ‘domestic terrorism’ and discusses the origins of, and the MSM fascination with, the term. Beyond that, I turn my attention toward repeated failures by US democratic, and EU, leadership decisions that have emboldened Putin in Ukraine. I finish the show by presenting my 7-planks to a successful Presidential run.

February 2022 - Episodes 51-59

Episode 51 - 02/02/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 51, I thank the listeners and readers that have purchased my Home Remedies, Poultices, Salves, & Tinctures non-fiction book by providing five new home remedy recipes. Learn a few new methods to address arthritic/nerve pain, chest complaints from cold and cough, how to increase immunity and detoxify, and relieve a sore neck or back. I also throw in a new cleaning solution to ward of food borne bacteria.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep51 (video)

Episode 52 - 02/05/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 52, I discuss the lack of MSM coverage for protests occurring globally and what the US might look like if the US based truckers follow in Canada’s shoes. The planet is rightly fed up with all of this nonsense. I also review Psaki’s ‘wag the dog’ moment and the weakness of this installed administration which is emboldening bad actors. I finish the show by discussing the falsity behind job numbers. They aren’t new jobs, people. They were previously existing jobs they tried to kill to get rid of one guy that managed to be re-filled. Don’t be fooled by the spin, folks.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep52 (video)

Episode 53 - 02/09/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 53, I answer a listener submitted question regarding how I got into preparedness and then I go on to explain how I managed to 'survive' the latest sensationalized weather phenomenon. After that, I present two articles I managed to lose for the last fours years: 18 Vintage Homesteading Tools to Search for at Garage Sales and 23 Medicinal Plants the Native Americans Used on a Daily Basis.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep53 (video)

Episode 54 - 02/12/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 54, I’m at my most scatter-brained as I discuss a wide range of inter-related topics like the litany list of offenses committed by the left as encapsulated by Jim Jordan. As part of that, I discuss supply chain issues manifesting in my local grocery stores, Trudeau threatening Americans citizens with investigations, the GoFundMe controversy, as well as an apparent shortage of heirloom seeds. From there, I provide some insight into what I saw at the gun show last weekend before ending the show with a recommendation to take some of the free Hillsdale College courses online in order to keep being a life-long learner.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep54 (video)

Episode 55 - 02/13/2022 (Jackassery Show) **BONUS EPISODE* - In this bonus episode (Episode 55), I take further aim at some of the topics covered in Episode 54 but absolutely unload on the attempted indoctrination of his wife.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep55 *BONUS EPISODE* (video)

Episode 56 - 02/16/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 56, I discuss several topics dealing with preparedness. First, I outline the dry canning method then I discuss the best states where you might be able to outlive a food crisis. After that, I present the basics of a dental kit before finishing the show discussing what a trucking stoppage might look like.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep56 (video)

Episode 57 - 02/19/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 57, I celebrate the small victories in the delivery of the death knell for the political career of Killary Clinton. I truly enjoy myself in this episode as I make sense of the chaos surrounding the NWO agenda imploding. I even manage to draw comparisons to the Trump presidency being the Thanos blip to their agenda. Then finally, I come full circle and discuss the Canadian truckers inciting global protests which further alters the World Economic Forum billionaire kingmakers carefully planned trajectory.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep7 (video)

Episode 58 - 02/23/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 58, I discuss several topics. These include CRN’s expansion on to three new platforms and the need to keep up with technology for your important electronic documents. I also answer another listener submitted question regarding my avoidance for discussing firearms and bladed weapons. I finish the show by presenting and discussing Sean Mitzel’s “7 Steps to Preparedness, Resiliency, & Self-Sufficiency.”

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep58 (video)

Episode 59 - 02/26/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 59, I discuss several topics and start the show by reviewing the Biden family’s entanglement in Ukraine and the recently started Russian invasion. From there, I provide an update on the current situation in Ottawa, US trucker convoy plans, and the militarization of DC… again. I close the show by taking aim at the pervasive wokeism infecting the education industry. Oh, how I really despise leftists and their ideology.

March 2022 - Episodes 60-68

Episode 60 - 03/02/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 60, I begin my review of the Survival Summit Production series “How to Get Home After an EMP.” I provide an excerpt from Part 3 of my book series, By the Dawn’s Early Light, to set the stage for what we might expect nationally while drawing comparisons and providing analysis to the information provided in the videos.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep60 (video)

Episode 61 - 03/05/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 61, I discuss the on-going war in Ukraine as well as Gpa Joe’s SCOTUS pick and the SOTU address… an address predictably devoid of taking responsibility for 14-months of repeated failures and dealt more with Russia and Ukraine that it did with the state of our own Union.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep61 (video)

Episode 62 - 03/09/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 62, I continue my review of the Survival Summit Production series “How to Get Home After an EMP.” I take my time as I compare their advice to what I wrote in my book series while continuing to provide analysis and commentary to further the knowledge and discussion.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep62 (video)

Episode 63 - 03/13/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 63, I am absolutely losing my mind with the sheer volume of jackassery being perpetuated by this abhorrent administration. In this jackassery episode, I discuss "Tzatziki Sauce" Psaki's blatant lies and dig deeper into the Russia and Ukraine debacle (I found the video I was searching for... no surprise, Google throttled the email). I finish the show discussing Democrats killing democracy in the middle of the night with their passage of the $1.2T Omnibus bill.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep63 (video)

Episode 64 - 03/16/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 64, I conclude my review of the Survival Summit Production series “How to Get Home After an EMP.” These final three segments really get down into the nitty-gritty of E&E practices with practical tips when trying to reach your BOL.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep64 (video)

Episode 65 - 03/19/2022 (Jackasssery Show) - In Episode 65, I regain the use of my faculties and calm down a bit… barely. Right out the gate, I take aim at the D’s for being so tone-deaf but there’s one guy heading up the DCCC that rightly surmised that it’s not the voters that are problem, it’s the Dems. After that, he discusses the ruination of our country and economy at the hands of climate activists that have infiltrated this fraudulent administration. He also discusses exactly how and why the election was stolen. Here’s a hint, remember when he said to keep an eye on the World Economic Forum and the pervy billionaires in Davos?

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep65 (video)

Episode 66 - 03/23/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 66, I provide a review of my new Sight Mark Wraith 4k Max digital scope. I step through how and what I was using the device for and what impressed me the most and what left me wanting.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep66 (video)

Episode 67 - 03/26/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 67, I discuss zippy’s disclosure of the NWO and his 180-turn regarding whether or not sanctions are deterrents. After that, I provide statistics pertaining to the American people and their desire for free and fair elections which is in direct conflict with what Dems have been trying to do in Congress. Lastly, I connect the dots on several highly public figures and close the show discussing the coming food shortages.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep67 (video)

Episode 68 - 03/30/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 68, I start the show on a somber note as I discuss the need to do a deep dive inventory and possibly start sorting your gear into “must-have’s” and “nice to have’s.” Not to be a Chicken Little, but there are some strange things afoot right now. After that, I relay a long-term storage technique for flour that I recently came across and provide a list of “10 Medicinal Plants You Should Plant For A Complete Backyard Pharmacy.”

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep68 (video)


April 2022 - Episodes 69-77

Episode 69 - 04/02/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 69, I take aim at Biden's latest plan to ruin our country by throwing open the borders and lifting Title 42. After that, I discuss the completely made-up tax known as the 'social cost of carbon' before finishing the show discussing the NWO's plans for a digital currency. It's all crap! The environmentalists and globalists are doing everything they can to ruin countries and their economic engines.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep69 (video)

Episode 70 - 04/06/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 70, I provide two scenarios for some preparedness thought exercises. In the first scenario, I discuss the 206th anniversary of the “Year Without a Summer” following the 207th anniversary of the eruption from Mount Tambora before landing on the question: Do you have what you need to endure a volcanic winter? In the second exercise, I discuss my wife’s near stranding in Orlando last weekend as 12,000+ flights into and out of FL were perpetually delayed or outright cancelled. This lead to the second question: Have you worked up contingency plans if family/group members and loved ones are stranded, stuck, caught unawares a great distance from home when calamity strikes?

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep70 (video)

Episode 71 - 04/09/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 71, I start off by reviewing the state of the Dems. It must be pretty bleak on their internal polling to start trotting Barry Obummer out to rally the base for this incoherent moron. Could we be heading to a ‘Constitutional Crisis’ if they remove zippy and Comrade Kamala appoints Barry to the open VP slot? After the break, I speak to the atrocities in Ukraine but questions what we are being told when I find a Putin press conference. I don’t excuse Putin’s actions but I do wonder if we’re being directed toward him to keep us blind, deaf, and dumb the actions of others. I finish the show by pointing my listeners to Ep185 of the Glenn Beck show where he discusses preparedness for the upcoming NWO.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep71 (video)

Episode 72 - 04/13/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 72, I talk about preparedness with a more serious tenor. Things are not getting better anytime soon. In fact, they are only going to get worse. When preparedness and self-sufficiency goes mainstream and starts getting talked about in MSM, your situational awareness should reach new heights. I recognize this and speak directly about what you and yours should be doing as a hedge against inflation, border security, supply chain, food and fertilizer shortages, NWO plans, and the possibility for a digital currency. In short, get your house in order and make sure you’re at least covering the basics (food, water, seeds, etc.) and do it now. After that, I discuss how we almost got nailed by a solar flare in July of 2013 and what that would have meant.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep72 (video)

Episode 73 - 04/16/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 73, I start off the show discussing how the House Republicans are beginning to prime the pump and start revealing their hand as to what their intentions are if this ‘red wave’ comes to fruition in November. From there, I discuss Dem internal polling and how their own polls show that they suck at governing. After the break, I turn my attention to possible Senate seats that could flip before presenting an article regarding banking industry warnings concerning the economy and inflation.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep73 (video)

Episode 74 - 04/20/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 74, I start off the show by providing the spot prices for gold and silver as well as the number of days left to the mid-terms and presidential elections. From there, I make the announcement that I have started the free Hillsdale College course on The Federalist Papers. After taking just the first class, I was struck by the fact that the founders predicted human nature and tried to prevent us from being ruled by tyrants. I truly believe there’s a reckoning coming and I want to make sure that, when it’s over, I’ll be enabled with the knowledge needed to re-establish the Republic. I close the show with a warning from the IMF regarding the pending food shortages and another method for planting tomatoes. It’s an interesting show with a wide range of topics.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep74 (video)

Episode 75 - 04/23/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 75, I come into the show on fire after attending my daughter’s Cum Laude ceremony. Needless to say, I was pretty fired up after I had to bear witness to the leftist indoctrination word salad orgy that was this lady’s speech. And they wonder why FL now has the Parental Rights Act and Ohio has one in the works? Here’s a hint, it’s to stop educators like this. From there, I continue my discussion regarding society’s decline with examples of what the left is targeting and why. I finish the show discussing how I’m taking my own advice to increase my preparedness stash and what the satellite imagery shows in terms of Russian atrocities committed in Ukraine.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep75 (video)

Episode 76 - 04/27/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 76, I regain my focus after two weeks of unleashing my crazy. In this preparedness episode, I discuss the need for incremental exposure to natural sunlight for seedlings. I follow that up by providing two organic methods for incorporating potassium and nitrogen, as well as calcium, into your garden watering schedules. From there, I conclude the show by discussing the increase in homeschooling and two articles that point directly to increases in food prices (suspicious fires anyone?) as well as food shortages due the inhibited distribution of fertilizer.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep76 (video)

Episode 77 - 04/30/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 77, I start the show with a discussion about precious metals and a catalytic converter theft ring in Ohio and ponder whether or not the precious metals contained therein (platinum, palladium, and rhodium) are a viable form of currency in a societal collapse. From there, I ponder some more on the advice and a book recommendation (William Strauss’s The Fourth Turning) from John Jeffers. Speaking of recommendations, I offer up several viewing options to broaden your knowledge base in the form of Oliver Stone’s Ukraine on Fire and Revealing Ukraine, Jim Wolfston’s documentary Rigged, and Dinesh D’Souza’s latest documentary 2,000 Mules. The latter of which the wife and I will be viewing next Monday. I conclude the show by tying a number of seemingly unrelated items together (Twitter purchase, Depp trial) to show it’s just cover and fodder for what’s really going on in Ukraine, the laptop, FDA, and Bill Gates becoming the largest land owner in U.S..

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep77 (video)


May 2022 - Episodes 78-81

Episode 78 - 05/04/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 78, I cover four topics for the preparedness show. First, I review the USDA statistics for index pricing showing the rise in food prices not just from Feb to March but year over year. From there, I review two articles: The first is a list of 11 items you don’t apparently need in your every day carry (EDC). I disagree with several, shocker. And the other is an article detailing 10 fruits and veggies you can dehydrate for long term storage. To end the show, I discuss a natural ingredient called Usnea you can use to create a poultice, salve, and tincture which mimics the antibiotic Doxycycline.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep78 (video)

Episode 79 - 05/07/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 79, I start the show with a shout-out for a friend and his son and their little league baseball team’s gun raffle. I provides all of the information needed for you to enter the raffle regardless of the state you live in. Cliff Notes version: if you don’t live in Ohio, you’ll need to coordinate with FFL dealers to have the gun sent to you state to complete the 4473. After that, I discuss the results of the mid-terms, the SCOTUS leak, and the movie 2,000 Mules. The depths to which the lefties went to cheat is beyond comprehension. 81M votes my ass!

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep79 (video)

Episode 80 - 05/11/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 80, in my second to last show before his summer hiatus, I give a second shout-out for a friend and his son and their little league baseball team’s gun raffle. After that, I review an article titled, “13 Things to Scavenge From Cars After SHTF” and another preparedness topic dealing with food preservation using honey. I close the show by re-visiting the topic of homeschooling given an online attack of a homeschooling mother of five and a recently released video describing what potentially awaits your children if they attend public schools.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep80 (video)

Episode 81 - 05/14/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 81, the last show before my summer hiatus, I give a third shout-out for a friend and his son and their little league baseball team’s gun raffle. Thank you to everyone that has reached out and entered the raffle. After that, I discuss a wide range of topics. For starters, I discuss my summer time preps that have the wife believing it’s just “Dave being Dave,” (correction inserted post production regarding propane tank weight... because I’m an idiot that confuses myself sometimes). After that, I get into Biden’s attempt to blame anyone and everyone besides himself and his administration for the mess we’re in, and the Biden administration’s plan to cede our nation’s sovereignty to the Fauci-like asshats at the WHO and their governing body, the World Health Assembly. I conclude the show discussing how, yet again, another piece of major news is not being discussed and is overshadowed by the SCOTUS leak. Specifically, the document dump from Pfizer regarding their trial test results.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep81 (video)


June 2022 - Episode 82

Episode 82 - 06/28/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 82, I provide a quick update as to what I’ve been up to since starting my summer hiatus. After that, I invite you in to my kitchen for some "Cooking Time with Dave" as I provide video and narration while I cook a family favorite, Knickerbocker Bean Soup. If you're paying attention, I also provide the knowledge to create homemade chicken stock, the difference between a stock and broth, and I offer up a suggestion for bartering.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep82 - Hiatus Interruptus


August 2022 - Episodes 83-85

Episode 83 - 08/24/2022 (Summer of Jackassery Review - Part 1) - In Episode 83 (Hiatus Terminus... What Did I Miss??), I make my triumphant return from my summer hiatus to kick off a new season of the show by reviewing the first of THREE PAGES OF NOTES from the Biden summer of jackassery. I start off with a conversation I had with members of ANTIFA and my observations from my daughters graduation ceremony. From there, I work my way through page one of my notes from the summer that was and the idiocy that occurred as a result of the dullest knife in the drawer that ever occupied the White House!

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep83 - Hiatus Terminus… What Did I Miss - Part 1

Episode 84 - 08/27/2022 (Summer of Jackassery Review - Part 2) - In Episode 84 (Hiatus Terminus... What Did I Miss - Part 2), I continue my review of the summer that was by taking a look at Page 2 of my notes from the Biden summer of jackassery. As I work my way through the month of July, I manage to weave in some current events from the week as well. Several things come into sharp focus and chief among them is that this illegitimate government is corrupt to its core and a large number of administration members as well as sitting members of Congress need to have charges leveled against them!

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep84 - Hiatus Terminus… What Did I Miss - Part 2

Episode 85 - 08/31/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 85, I discuss two articles and provide commentary on their content. The first article deals with EMP’s and the lack of a government response. --> Hint: read pgs 21-22 in Part 3 of my series (By The Dawn's Early Light) for details on how an EMP works (E1-E3 phases), read Part 2 of the series (Hannibal is at the Gates) for info on the chaos that a portable EMP device could deliver, read the Critical National Infrastructures Report (and Exec Summary) for technical details on EMPs. <-- The second article reviewed deals with the pending approach of even higher inflation and what that means for the preparedness minded. --> read the opening chapters of James Wesley Rawles' book Patriots for examples of hyperinflation, it's warning signs, and it's potential effects.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep85 (video)


September 2022 - Episodes 86-93

Episode 86 - 09/03/2o22 (Summer of Jackassery Review - Part 3) - I conclude my review of the summer that was by taking a look at Page 3 of my notes from the Biden summer of jackassery. As I finish working my way through July and the part of August where I was off the air, I review two articles dealing with ASAC Thibault and his partisan BS with the stonewalling of the Hunter Biden laptop investigation.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep86 (video)

Episode 87 - 09/07/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 87, I discuss a variety of topics for the preparedness show. First off, I review a list of 7 EMP-proof vehicles to consider, then I digress for a few minutes before discussing a new report stating that student math and reading scores are the lowest they’ve been in decades. This should come as a surprise to no one who’s been paying attention. Home school your kids folks. It’s the only way to save them. After that, I review the new steps that states and power companies are taking to ensure your compliance when there’s an energy crisis. I close the show by discussing another article detailing how preparedness is merely common sense and a conversation I had with the plumber regarding effective means for disinfecting your well and water lines.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep87 (video)

Episode 88 - 09/10/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 88, I bring a rather international flair to the show. I kick off the show by discussing the new British PM Liz Truss, who by all accounts, appears to be set to be a thorn in the side of our illegitimate administration, before discussing the granting of a Special Master to review the highly suspect seizing of materials from Mar-A-Lago. To begin my energy discussion, I spend some time lampooning Gov. Newsome, rolling blackouts, and the Californistan dictators ambitions for the Presidency. I finish the show with more international news as I discuss the rest of his energy topics affecting France and Germany as well as Canadian Gestapo plans for environmental enforcement.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep88 (video)

Episode 89 - 09/15/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 89, I posit a hypothetical to my listeners: What if, Heaven forbid, there is actually some event (CW2, societal collapse, etc.) and the left actually wins? As I attempt to provide an answer, using my own life-based scenario as an example, it brings into sharp focus that the loss of anonymity is likely to be my undoing. After that discussion, I run through an article titled “15 Handyman Kits the Self-Sufficient Prepper Needs” and provide commentary.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep89 (video)

Episode 90 - 09/17/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 90, I kick off the show with some historical events on this day in history. Sounded like a good idea at the time of recording. From there, I turn my attention to current events like the judge naming a special master and the lefts predictable faux outrage. After that, I discuss a Montana judges’ decision to invalidate a law requiring proof of surgery before the state would update a persons birth certificate and the states response. Queue more liberal outrage for not bowing to their insane word salad demands. I close the weekend show by reviewing and discussing the ‘humanitarian crisis’ sparked by Governors Abbott and Desantis and the predictable outrage from the left for actually having their principles tested when they declared their cities and states as ‘sanctuaries.’ You know, it seems like this show had a theme… leftist outrage is everywhere, it’s predictable, and it’s never satisfied. 

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep90 (video)

Episode 91 - 09/21/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 91, I start off by discussing the potential for a rail worker strike and what that means to the nation as well as Ohio. From there, I discuss repeated Dem mis-steps with Latino’s, and Biden trying to replenish the Strategic Oil Reserve at a premium when the Dems had crowed about their ability to stop Trump from doing so when oil was nearly at its lowest. These first three topics are linked together via the incompetence of the left and are designed to screw us further with the rising cost of EVERYTHING. He finishes the show by discussing 10 items that are forgeable at the end of the growing season.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep91 (video)

Episode 92 - 09/24/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 92, I start off the show discussing the meteoric shift from a service academy to the woke, gender agenda BS currently taking place at the USAFA. In the middle off that, I relate a personal story about a friend that went all-in for progressivism and the tendency for leftists to constantly want to argue. After that, I present the first of two newspaper articles highlighting this fraudulent administration’s hypocrisy pertaining to the recession and what this means to your family’s bottom line if you’re thinking about buying a home or some land. From there, I make note of the on-going trend for the last 87-weeks which is, Trump was right. This time it’s the border wall. In the presentation of the second newspaper article, I discuss the Fed raising interest rates again to beat back inflation while simultaneously screwing the American people that have variable interest rate credits cards and home equity lines of credit. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention yet another example of this illegitimate administration’s hypocrisy again. I close the show by discussing my belief that they are tanking our country on purpose to better align with the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset plans.

Episode 93 - 09/28/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 93, I spend the show discussing emergency planning. The reason for this is simple, my daughter is in Florida attending college and there’s a hurricane barreling toward her. I take this opportunity to discuss the relevance of preparedness planning as it pertains to evacuations, waypoints for longer journeys, pre-planned supplies, etc.

October 2022 - Episodes 94-102

Episode 94 - 10/01/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 94, I start the show with some brief commentary on the fraudulently elected defecater-in-chief attempting to commune with dead people at a presser then head into a discussion on the proposed central bank digital currency which is 100% trackable. News Flash Folks: if it’s trackable and digital… they can trample rights that much easier AND they can shut it off and prohibit you from making any transactions they don’t want you to make. On the heels of that topic, I discuss Amazon’s new palm reading technology for payment verification. Mark of the Beast anyone… From there, I review the fears of Jerry Nadler (D-NY) during the impeachment processes as being unconstitutional and the actions of the select committee might come back to harm the party. LOL! You think? I then turn to the international scene and discusses the recent Italian election of a center right candidate and the New Zealand PM’s speech at the UN where she deemed free speech as a ‘weapon of war.’ Back on the U.S. mainland, a fertilizer plant was damaged as a result of the hurricane in Florida so we can expect prices to go up at the grocery store again. I finish the show discussing his mental health and how a simple drive for work relieved a great deal of stress.

Episode 95 - 10/05/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 95, I discuss two topics I believes are preparedness adjacent. The first is H.R. 8051 whereby gun grabbing leftists in the U.S. HoR are attempting to place a 1000% excise tax on “large capacity ammunition feeding devices” and semi-automatic rifles, handguns, and shotguns larger than .22 caliber. The second is Executive Order 14067, specifically Section 4, that the fraudulently elected chucklehead put out on March 9, 2022 that is potentially leading to the creation of this digital currency. IMHO these are both assaults on our personal freedoms as Americans and are at the very heart of preparedness.

Episode 96 - 10/08/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 96, I discuss a few topics before launching myself headfirst into a free-style riff for the last 15 minutes or so. The theme to this initial discussion is the blatant racist statements from Comrade Kamala, the Fed, the Treasury, and others that have the potential for large scale race-based US Gov policy decisions. Smells highly suspicious… and illegal. Beyond that, I discuss Sen Marshall’s two new proposed pieces of legislation that directly address the doubling of the IRS in an attempt to safeguard the American people and a Republican candidate’s truthful and hilarious response to a loaded question regarding the legitimacy of the fraudulent one during a debate in Virginia.

First up is the usefulness of county maps by state for everything from land purchases to inclement weather tracking. From there, I discuss preview day for the ODNR lottery I won and my travel and hunting plans for the next few weeks. After that, I answer a listener submitted question regarding data and knowledge collection from a variety of sources. I also discuss a Medical Garden kit and info I found online - “10 Medicinal Plants You Should Have in Your Backyard”. I close the show by touching on the Uvalde police department being suspended, reassigned, or fired and why China is more prepared for food shortages than the US.

Episode 98 - 10/15/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 98, I move through the topics quickly and start off by discussing the Gabbard move out of the Dems party then slide into the failed PayPal attempt to be the misinformation police. After that, I review Comrade Kamala’s late night show appearance. This is her FIRST interview on the late night talk show circuit since taking office over 90 weeks ago. I close the show by discussing the 5th Circuit overturning aspects of DACA, deeming it unconstitutional.

Episode 99 - 10/19/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 99, I engage in another wide ranging episode by discussing several preparedness topics which illustrate how things are about to go from bad to worse. First up is the JPMorgan CEO declaring the recession is only going to get worse. From there, I discuss the regulatory war on America’s farmers. Then, on top of that, the Mississippi River is running dry and barges are running aground. As if that weren’t enough, the railroad unions are rejecting the proposed labor contract. Even with all of that, I found some ‘happy’ news in that Ohio is now going to start arming teachers.

Episode 100 - 10/22/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 100, I start the show with a ‘thank you’ to all of my listeners around the world that keep me consistently in the top 10 for downloaded shows on CRN. After the platitudes, I move right into my review of the ‘remade’ Army in my first topic while the second contradicts this woke climate agenda. From there, I look at big tech’s censoring of RNC communications and takes the time to laugh at this fraudulent administration’s acknowledgement of the ‘binary’ when it comes to Selective Service registration. I close the show by discussing the ongoing protests in Iran.

Episode 101 - 10/26/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 101, I return from my European adventures and provide my impressions of Denmark and Danish culture. While I was there I was constantly performing mental exercises on what it would take to get home if things went sideways as well as assessing what I saw of the country in terms of their survivability in a collapse. The bicycle attachments were a sight to behold. After I finish my review of Denmark, I discuss a wide range of preparedness related topics like the Census Bureau under/over counting state populations, the UK naming their next PM, Oregon Ballot Measure 114, the 101st Airborne being deployed to Romania, and clear cutting in Denmark and the winter from hell for Europe.

Episode 102 - 10/29/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 102, I discuss a wide range for domestic and international topics as we conclude Week 92 of the fraudulent ones reign. I start off with a story about Illinois bringing a new law which will create wholesale chaos on the crime front, Seattle socialist council member crying that the police aren’t protecting her, Killary predicting that the GOP is already planning on stealing the 2024 election, and Desantis is only popular with Latinos because of racism. I conclude the show with a robust discussion on energy costs, fuel shortages, and how what we see in Europe is headed our way if we don’t head it off in 10-days with the midterm election.

November 2022 - Episodes 103-107

Episode 103 - 11/02/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 103, I start off the show with a rousing and wide ranging discussion of leftist hypocrisy regarding candidate mailers, education, and the ramifications of their lockdowns before making yet another call for parents to homeschool their children. After that, I present a new product on the market which is a pre-fab fiberglass root cellar called a ground fridge. For a paltry $15K it could be yours. From there, I present a new listener segment called “On the Road with Steve” and reviews a series of responses from ‘Steve’ as he traverses America’s highways in his 18-wheeler. I close the show by reviewing two articles titled “9 Grasses You Can Eat in a Famine” and “10 Vegetables to Plant in Fall For Winter Harvest”.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep103 (video)

Episode 104 - 11/05/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 104, I produce a shorter than normal show due to election and campaign exhaustion. The first segment deals with a topic I’m sure has been covered ad nauseam which is the hammer time attack on the speakers husband by an underwear clad illegal immigrant nudist protester. From there, I spend a few minutes discussing yet another divisive speech given by the illegitimate and fraudulently elected numb nut. I may or may not have gone off the rails during this segment. To close the show, I take some time to review an article titled “6 Warning Signs Before an Economic Collapse That Most People Miss”.

Episode 105 - 11/20/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 105, I return from a self-imposed exile where I watched in horror as the GOP shot themselves in the foot repeatedly. This episode is dedicated entirely to the Mid-Terms and the postmortem.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep105 (video)

Episode 106 - 11/23/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 106, I discuss a number of preparedness topics. My initial comments revolve around some current events, namely Ukraine is telling it’s citizens to stock up on winter clothes due to Russian airstrikes targeting their grid and infrastructure. I thought it odd that we don’t need airstrikes to tell our citizens to do the same this winter because all we had to do was install an illegitimate and fraudulently elected numbnut. From there, I detail out the hard times headed our way by way of 1/3 of the railroad unions rejecting the proposed labor contracts. We are so screwed if this happens on top of all of the other issues we are already experiencing. The topic dovetails nicely into another installment of “On the Road with Steve”. I close the show by reviewing two articles: “Money Saving Tips from Real Survivors of the Great Depression” and “Mid-Term Election Results, What Preppers Can Expect.”

After that, I present “The Safest Places to Sleep When SHTF.” I finish the show by discussing a third article titled, “Seven Weird Things Only Preppers Understand, Do You?”

Episode 108 - 12/04/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 108, I review, discuss, and comment on several current event topics and I get things started by discussing the forced acceptance of the labor contract for the rail unions that were holding out for paid sick leave. From there, I ponder what the hell is going on in Colorado… when are they going to learn and stop trying to infringe on peoples rights? After that, I enjoy reviewing the iconic last speech of outgoing NC Rep Madison Cawthorn. I conclude the show with an in-depth discussion regarding the recent Twitter revelations regarding their manipulation of the 2020 election.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round Ep109 (video)

Episode 110 - 12/10/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 110, I review, discuss, and comment on several current events. I start off the show discussing Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema changing her party affiliation to Independent and then ponder the question as to whether or not West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin will be joining her soon. After that, we go head long into a rather passionate discussion on the topic of the ‘prisoner swap’. We’ll trade you one anti-American pothead for literally the “Merchant of freakin’ Death!’ Deal? At this pace, the illegitimate fraudulently elected numbnut is likely to be the last US President… even though his installment was a total farcical shame. I close the show by discussing what everyone else is discussing and that’s the 2nd data dump from Twitter exposing how they banned and throttled Conservative speech during the entirety of the Trump years and increased said actions in the lead up to the 2020 election.

Episode 111 - 12/14/2022 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 111, I review, discuss, and comment on several globally interconnected topics that are going to affect the United States. Your ability to become as self-sufficient and prepared as possible as it pertains to current events is paramount at a rudimentary preparedness level. These interconnected topics include boil orders in Houston, new coal mines in the UK, new nuclear plants in Sweden, and climate nazi’s attempting to shut down thousands of Dutch farmers. After that robust discussion, I close the show by discussing the do’s and don’t’s of root cellars. (NOTE: No audio file for this show)

Episode 112 - 12/17/2022 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 112, I dig into three topics and the first is a further examination of the railway strike that was ‘averted’ only through government intervention. From there, I discuss the very real impacts to businesses around the country as a result of these Soros backed DA’s in blue hell-holes like Portland, Seattle, SF, CA as a whole, Chicago, and NY. I conclude the show by discussing the lawsuit brought by a formed Va Tech soccer player who was retaliated against for not bending a knee in the name of social justice.
