Tonight, Buddy and I are talking shop. We’ll hear from a few listeners who sent us voice messages through Speakpipe and play a quasi round of Stump The Prepper with long-time listener and TOPS Bunker Podcast contributor, Casey Lambert. We’ll also hear from Zach from Pennsylvania who’s got us thinking about motivation and spending budgets.

As y’all may know, Buddy has been booking the guests on the show and he’s got some great news about upcoming guests and the very busy schedule for the show this year.

Jeremy is not with us tonight but he’ll be back soon.

So, I hope you enjoy this conversation between Preppers…

Tonight we’re talking with special guest, Dave from Pennsylvania. Dave is a master Prepper Survivalist with a wide range of useful skills to bring to the table and we’re excited to bring him back as a recurring Subject Matter Specialist.Buddy has named this episode Trump Bingo, which is I guess, appropriate but I’d rather call it Trump Roulette.Either way you look at it, it does appear that President Trump has a lot of irons in the fire.From Deportations to the Economy, Venezuela to the Middle East, and Russia, China, and the Radical Left watching every move he makes… President Trump is running the United States of American exactly how he promised, putting America first over the rest of the world…it’s why the majority of American voters elected him… and in doing so, in my opinion of coarse, is reshaping the entire world in the process.Now, some of you listening right now may disagree with me… and that’s great. If you’re an American, that’s not only great, it’s your right, privilege, and even your duty as Americans to do so. The right to have an opinion and voice that opinion, openly without fear, is powerful. There are many places in this world of ours that don’t allow it. The power behind that opinion, that voice, can sway others to see things differently, and then all of a sudden, those voices turn into votes… precious votes that hold real power to make change.It may come as a surprise to many of you, but Jeremy, Buddy, Rhonda, myself, and our guests… we don’t always see eye to eye on topics. Especially politics.But the one thing we all agree on is… America First. For far too long now, weak leaders have turned our country into a stomping ground for illegal immigration, drug and sex trafficking, woke ideology, and the radical far left agenda to get and hold the power and control us into submission like sheep. They’ve taken our immense wealth in the form of taxpayer dollars and squandered it by distributing it all around the world to gain political power and personal wealth for themselves and their friends.So when President Trump says America First… he’s not saying that America is better than every other country… he’s saying that America is more important, to Americans, than every other country.When America becomes weak… all the people of the world become weak by attrition.By making America great again… the world becomes great again through shared strength.Trump is using American might and power to go after the criminals, the oppressors, the evil dictators, the terrorists.You don’t have to like him, and you certainly don’t have to agree with him…But when Trump takes actions that other leaders won’t or can’t, and in some way shape or form helps make your life a little better…You dam-well better thank him for it. And while you're at it… thank those of us who voted him into office.But look… this episode is about Trump Roulette. That is, spinning that great big wheel of power every day, and going after whatever or whoever it lands on.Do you think he’s gambling or a Master Tactician?

Let’s discuss it.

So, Tonight, Let’s talk about goals for 2026. Every New Year's day, historically, we all get a sense of renewal. Wind in our sales, so to speak. Excitement for the year to come. We close the door to last year, but not before Last Year puts its big’ol foot in the door and whispers… “Not so fast.

Ya see, we all hope for this grand change to happen when the clock turns over at midnight. That’s why we have New Year’s Eve parties, and fireworks, and The Ball Drop at Times Square in NYC.

But if there was no party… no sparkles… no ball.

Would we even know there was a change?

Years turn over, in the same way that seasons change…
Quietly, and without ceremony. Unimpressed by intentions, or by hope.

2026 will be a year of change. It’s almost a foregone conclusion. The Trump Administration, whether you like it or not… has seen to that.

The question is… what changed for you at 12:01am on January the 1st…? My guess is, very little.

At 12:01am on January 1st…

Out there, farm fields and gardens rest beneath cold soil.
Pantries… hold what they hold.
Our hands remember only the work they’ve done before.

Those of us who prepare live closer to this truth.
We read the land, the weather, the cracks in the system.
We know how thin the line can be between order and chaos.

This coming year calls for intention and planning..
It calls for steady hands and minds that will shape reality into a path forward.

Maybe less noise, more focus. Instead of a dramatic entrance, maybe a strategic retreat.

Tonight, we talk about what must be strengthened.
We do that by setting goals…

Reasonable. Realistic. Achievable… Goals

Every goal is as unique as the Prepper who sets it.

We’ll tell you some of our goals, in hopes that it helps you start working on yours.
