Welcome to the Conversations That Matter Podcast. My name is John Harris. I am back

from the trip I was taking and the reason I had to do yesterday's podcast in a

hotel, but I'm actually about to leave for a

camping trip I haven't gone camping actually I used to do it a lot more it's been a

few years so now you can pray I don't get eaten by a bear I guess or something like that. I was the guy I remember in Boy Scouts

Yes, I did used to be in Boy Scouts that they would say go go learn how to start a fire and John will teach you like how not to do it

even though I was the senior patrol leader for a little bit I was never good at

that that was one of the things so hopefully tonight I can start a fire it's it's one of those skills it's like one of the things so hopefully tonight I can start a fire it's one of those skills it's like one of the

major skills that every man should know and I just I don't know what it was I don't know I was good

to a lot of the other stuff I could tie knots you know it could but for whatever reason but again you know they did have us starting

fires when the wood was wet that was one of the things I distinctly remember

we had to be able to start fire in like a brainstorm and I don't know if anyone would be good at that but

Early memories from camping flooding my mind right now, but that's not what we're talking about today

Had a bunch of stuff actually it's a bunch of info but I want to

what's tying it all together I'm not I'm not sure if it's all completely tied

together other than in my mind I sometimes feel like I catalog

and I think a lot of other conservative political probably talk show guys feel like

they're doing the same thing, cataloging the downfall of Western

civilization and the United States or wherever they're living in particular.

And so I have a few things I want to talk about today that just they just hit me just

little things that I thought this is just a this shows you so clearly the

direction we're heading and it's not looking at
