- Watch The JD Rucker Show every day to be truly informed.
As we move closer and closer to the midterm elections, many candidates reach out to our show to get on the podcast or on our surging Rumble channel. I appreciate that and I want to help America First patriots win, but it’s refreshing when politicians come on the show to talk about TODAY, to talk about the problems we’re facing now and address them with proposed solutions. That’s why I’ll always have Congressman Troy Nehls back on as often as he’d like.
Here is my interview with Congressman Nehls, available on most platforms (other than YouTube and Spotify, of course) including Rumble and Apple Podcasts.
Democrats and their RINO brethren on the J6 Unselect Committee have one purpose in their current witch hunt: Preventing Donald Trump from being able to run for president again in 2024.
Congressman Nehls joined The JD Rucker Show to discuss this, the state of the economy, our current border crisis, and to give us an update on what’s going on with the Capitol Police who allegedly broke into his congressional office.
On the border, Nehls had one simple message: Reinvoke Donald Trump’s policies. “The ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy worked. It slowed down the caravans.”
Is the Biden regime just stupid? Are they completely incompetent? Of course not. As Nehls noted, it’s all part of the Democrats’ plan.
“JD, this is by design,” he said. “Don’t think this is a… you know, this crisis is man-made. It’s exactly what Democrats want. Eventually you’re going to look at amnesty down the road and one party rule.”
On crime, Nehls pointed out that the real problem isn’t your average, everyday Democrat. The people who are feeling the heat caused by crime-supporting radical leftist policies are not going along with the woke progressives, which we saw in action with the ouster of former San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin.
As reported by The Washington Examiner:
San Francisco’s far-left district attorney, Chesa Boudin , was voted out of office on Tuesday after facing a recall petition over his criminal justice platform voters saw as soft on crime.
Several networks called the race in favor of the recall less than an hour after polls closed.
“People [in San Francisco] are angry. They’re frustrated. And I want to be very clear about what happened tonight: The right-wing billionaires outspent us three to one,” Boudin told his supporters after the election results poured in Tuesday night.
“Everybody wants to have safe and secure neighborhoods, but that extreme fringe, that extreme left, that group, the George Soros people that feel that actually law and order and having meaningful criminal justice out there is racist,” Nehls said.
Lastly, we discussed the January 6th Committee, which is going prime-time tonight with their spectacle. I asked Nehls what was motivating all of this. Are Democrats and their RINO brethren just trying to get to the truth and learn what can prevent future “insurrections,” as they like to label the mostly peaceful protests of January 6, 2021?
No. Nehls said it’s all about Donald Trump.
“That’s what this committee is all about,” he said. “It’s destroying Donald Trump for 2024. It’s NOT — people, understand — this is not about getting to the truth. This is not about how can we make sure that January 6 never happens again. They don’t want to ask the questions about why the Capitol Police were so ill-prepared to deal with that.”
The midterm elections are right around the corner and Democrats are in the worst possible situation with the failing economy leading the pack of a multitude of other failures. Nehls said the GOP was going to take back the House for sure and may be able to take back the Senate. But by putting this J6 witch hunt on prime-time television, they’re hoping to build a case for why they should keep control of the House and Senate.
It is imperative that patriots get the word out about the realities of J6. As sad as it is and as much as we don’t want to admit it, many of our friends and neighbors are gullible. They’ll see people crying during J6 testimony, talking about PTSD and how they thought they were going to die. Many of those viewing this will get the gaslighting the Democrats and their corporate media cronies want them to take.
Democrats hope to make more Americans care about J6, but that concern is only manufactured by constant propaganda. Americans care much more about the nation suffering under Democrat control.
Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
Of course it’s all about stopping Trump. Both parties fear a Trump presidency because both parties are complicit in The Obama Fraud, which installed a race protected and once sworn-in, ineligibility protected fraud Barack Hussein Obama as America’s putative president. His job, to weaken America in every way possible. Hillary, the planned and promised in 2008 after Obama cover president was not suppose to lose and certainly not to Donald Trump. Both parties effectively gave America’s government and her military to her enemies the moment in 2009 when John Roberts swore-in the total fraud, Barack Hussein Obama and everything else since that day has been and still is all about the cover-up. This is not complicated…..
Democrat politicians are a collection of freaks, embittered egoists and envenomed misfits. Their genius for stirring up trouble, confusion and unrest is absolute. Democrats are destined from birth and by every circumstance of education, temperament, religious belief or lack thereof to exhibit a vitriol of ageless hate for those who disagree with them. Their voices are harsh and jeering, brutally dominant and intolerant, particularly when they encounter those who fail to share their opinions. They act and speak with cultist fanaticism, self-assured of their bigotry, oppression and political superstition.
