Episode 114 - 01/04/2023 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 114, I conduct my first interview with my younger brother, Retired U.S. Army Major Matthew R. Kershner. Listen along as we discuss Matt’s Army career, his current work with the DoD, and our advice for becoming better prepared and self-sufficient. There is no video file for this episode.
Episode 115 - 01/11/2023 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 115, I conduct my second interview with economist and lawyer, Michael Snyder. Listen along as Michael lays out the financial troubles our country has put itself in and how each of these national and global incidents are connected. We discuss a great number of topics including his latest book, the omnibus spending bill, funding for 87,000 new IRS agents, and much more. We close the interview with an explanation as to what he sees coming in 2023… and it’s not good especially if we keep heading down this path. There is no video file for this episode.
Episode 116 - 01/18/2023 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 116, I introduce a new-ish segment titled “This Day in History” before I gets into a discussion about precious metals. After that, I present another indicator of what’s to come by way of the number of emails I am receiving and the types of questions and concerns I’ve been addressing for listeners.
Episode 117 - 01/21/2023 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 117, after two successive weeks of interview shows, I return to my weekly rantings in the Jackassery show. I start the show with some general housekeeping and a shout out to my friends company, Huckleberry Mountain Botanicals School of Herbalism (https://huckleberrybotanicals.com/). After that, I present the “This Day in History” segment before transitioning into a review of the latest happenings with the SCOTUS. From there, I discuss the “Night of Rage” being planned in Atlanta and the issues being faced by the FAA and Southwest Airlines. I close the show by discussing some of the most recent news surrounding the illegitimate one’s crime family.
Episode 118 - 01/27/2023 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 118, I spend the first ten minutes or so exploring on a topic no one wants to think about. Who stays and who goes when it’s time to bug out when some are infirmed and are incapable of making the journey except in a vehicle? It’s a hard choice and you need to start mentally preparing yourself for this potential eventuality. From there, I present “This Day in History” before moving on to two topics: “If You Have This in Your Pantry Throw it Away Immediately” and “Eight Items You Need to Have to Survive a Power Outage This Winter.” I close the show by sharing a real-world example regarding the U.S. population’s willingness to blindly accept electronic currency without pondering, even for a moment, the ramifications.
February 2023 - Episodes 119-126
Episode 119 - 02/01/2023 (Preparedness Show) - In Episode 119, I begin the show with a monologue of sorts where I point out where and how society started to break down and that breakdown is only accelerating with every successful leftist policy implemented. In keeping with the societal breakdown theme, I then review three articles: “6 Things You Need to Know Before Buying a Homestead Plot”, “9 Things To Do Before the 2023 Economic Collapse”, and “10 Probable Events That Will Follow an EMP”. There is no video file for this episode.

Episode 126 - (02/25/2023) (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 126, I discuss several current events topics that show the current administration is fully engaged in a series of wag the dog stories. These topics are:
Look everywhere else, anywhere else, besides the fact that Hunter admitted it was his laptop and that there are severe adverse side effects including death to the vaccines.
NYC Schools adversely flagged the files of non-compliant teachers (aka teachers that refused the jab) and then reported them to the FBI thereby making it 10x harder to find other employment… which is exactly what school boards wanted to do with parents not willing to go along with mask and vax mandates.
The Illegitimate one is selling another 26 M barrels of crude from the strategic petroleum reserve much to the detriment of the US and to the gain of China.
Chicago has announced that they are no better than Baltimore when it comes to math and reading scores as 55 schools don’t have a single student proficient in either.

Chief among these topics is the woefully inadequate responses from numerous federal agencies as it pertains to recent disasters and events. Being prepared is more than bullets, beans, and band-aids. Given all that has transpired in the last month or so, you need to also be preparing to handle EMPs, polluted soil and water, and have an effective means to address any contaminations.

After that, I then turn my attention toward the assault of Rile Gaines. Pivoting to politics, as if I wasn’t talking politics the entire time, I review GOP intentions for Biden financial records. I finish the show with an ad hoc freeform riff on Chinese spy balloons and the merits behind a provocative EMP strike vs. the long game de-dollarization of the international standard.

I discuss my garden plans and why I’m increasing my plant count this year, here’s a hint, look at the chaos in D.C. (leadership), Chicago, LA, France, and the Netherlands. Major retailers are leaving these cities in droves because of Dem policies, Soros DA's, and the resulting, highly predictable, civil unrest.
Episode 137 - 04/22/2023 (Jackassery Show) - In Episode 137, I provide information regarding an upcoming C&E Gun Show in Sharonville, OH, text notifications I receive from vendors like Safe Life Defense and My Patriot Supply and then I walk through some long-term and short-term purchase options on the My Patriot Supply website. After that, I explore the breadth of the protective bubble the left has placed over the illegitimate’s one’s family. I close the show by losing my mind as I discuss the “T’s” and their land of make believe. NOTE - Audio only show.

I review our country’s demise since the illegitimate fraudulently elected numb nut took office. I also tie a number of issues to Obama’s trigger to the rest of the world that the US was primed for inclusion into the Great Reset when he uttered the words ‘fundamental transformation’.
August 2023 (Episodes 140-141)
Episode 140 - August 19, 2023 - In Episode 140, Dave jumps right back into the fray after his summer hiatus. He discusses several articles and topics surrounding J6, his refusal to play in the land of make believe for the alphabet mafia, woke companies being sued, and the apparent lunacy of a Montana judge bowing down to the climate change wonks.

September 2023 (Episodes 142 - 146)
Episode 142 - September 2, 2023 - In Episode 142, Dave starts the show by reviewing all of the crazy social media information regarding the Maui fire. From there, he discusses how the Biden handlers are essentially hiding him in Alaska on 9/11 presumably to keep him from screwing up a commemoration ceremony. Meanwhile, elder abusing Jill will be at the Pentagon and Cacklin’ Comrade Kamala will be at ground zero in NYC. After that, given all that has transpired in the last 136 weeks, Dave proposes some modifications to his “7 Planks to a Successful President Run”. Dave concludes the show by reviewing the ATF’s attempts at an end run around Congress in an effort to implement Universal Background Checks specifically targeting FFL dealers.
Due to episode length, no video is available.

Episode 143 - September 9, 2023 - In Episode 143, Dave starts the show with a 24 minute riff presenting the hypothesis that we are already at war. So far, the left is the only side really fighting while the right pretends it doesn’t exist. After that, he rediscovers that he has an Instagram Downloader. Using that tool, he presents video evidence of Maui’s selective destruction, The Peoples Republic of Kalifornistan dumping fresh water into the ocean, diesel and regular gas being mixed in Florida, technology being used against us, and a video stating that we are already well into WWIII. Dave closes the show with some happy news that a congressman is pushing for age limits for federal elected officials.

Episode 155 - December 16, 2023 - In Episode 155, Dave closes 2023 by discussing McCarthy’s departure and CBP finding IEDs at the US/Mexico border.
