Advertise on podcast: I HAD to say it

So after a week off I am back at it. As always, we have some technical issues, and a helping of disorganized chaos. Everything you have come to expect from one of these episodes. I have plenty to say, and after a slow start I find my groove.

To address the missing episode last week, we had a death in the family literally less than an hour before the livestream was supposed to happen. The last week was primarily focused on dealing with that, but we're back at it now. There is a scavenger hunt that I announced with a awesome prize for the first person to figure out all of the clues, and more of my usual ranty ranty for those who were missing it.

So a guy who has been shouting "Death to America" for pretty much my entire life actually wound up on the receiving end of "Death FROM America." Personally, I don't like the idea of my country being the world police, but frankly when you want to see me and everyone I ever cared about dead, I have a hard time feeling bad for you when you enter the FO phase of the situation. And of course people here are losing their minds because OrangeManBad was at the helm. And there are a few other things I touch on as well. And an update.

Hey everyone, another week where I only halfway paid attention to the grander world, because the immediate world needs more of my attention. There were some goings on out there, and as always, I have some thoughts. A cartel kingpin got taken out by special forces, and they aren't happy about it. The local politics are starting to ramp up and ruining my time at the gym with their absolutely garbage political ads, and some people played a hockey game at the olympics.

So I have an announcement. And then the ranting begins. I feel like the mishandling of the files by the DOJ can't be excused, at this point and as always I have thoughts.

This week I am feeling some kind of way. I'm tired. The constant distraction from real issues, the people treating each other badly, and being SO smug about it. As always I have thoughts. Recipe - Arrabiata sauce www.ihadtosayitpodcast.com

This one was kind of all over the place. Something kind of cool happened for me personally and you should all go check out https://thebuffalowoolco.com/ for some truly great American made products made with genuine bison wool.

For this guest episode I sat down with Walker, the owner/operator of Tex Tactical. It is a small independent business based out of Texas that makes custom rifle accessories. Walker and I discussed 3d printing and 2nd amendment stuff. It was a little more brief that most of my guest spots, but not everyone has four hours to kill with me. Hope you guys enjoy the chat.

So the left is still interfering with ICE operations in Minneapolis. They are escalating, exactly as expected. The rhetoric from the top hasn't dialed back a bit, and exactly as I said would happen a "protestor" with a gun got himself removed from the census. And EXACTLY as I said all of a sudden the "most 2A friendly" administration is sounding decidedly not. I hate being right. As always I have thoughts. Go support the show. Ihadtosayitpodcast.com

Tom Knighton is a professional writer for bearingarms.com as well as being published in multiple places for various other news and opinion articles. Tom is a vet, a staunch 2A supporter, and frankly a generally good guy. He has a substack (tilting at windmills) as well as a youtube channel (The Fourth Rail) both of which are worthy of some of your attention. Tom first came to my attention due to the Buffalo public school systems controversy that came to light last year. For this episode I was joined by JD the bot guy, since he and Tom had an existing raport, and he is very involved in the 2A space as well. The three of us had a lovely chat and if you would like to hear the uncut version, which is about an hour and a half longer as well as every other guest spot uncut head over to the website and sign up to be a supporter of the show.

The drama in Minnesota is escalating. The leftists are arming themselves. And while I support everyone being armed, there is a right way and a wrong way to go about exercising your 2A rights. Just like there is a right way and a wrong way to protest. Also Don Lemon and a bunch of leftist clowns invaded a church to yell at the "racist christians" over ICE. As always, I have thoughts.

Well there is plenty going on in the world, I MIGHT do a second episode this week, we'll see how the week shakes out. But in this episode I primarily discuss the lady that got shot interfering with ICE in Minneapolis last week. I have thoughts about what lead to this, and explain how I got there as well as who I think is to blame for the situation. As always I have thoughts.
