Joel Lambert is a former Navy SEAL. Since completing his Navy career, Joel has done it all. He's written a book! Acted in blockbuster Hollywood movies. Hosted his own show Predators Up Close on Discovery Channel. This is Joel Lambert’s inaugural appearance on the Break It Down Show. A Navy SEAL's Bug-In Guide: How to Turn Your House into the Safest Place on Earth   Here's the blub from his book, Bug In. A Navy Seal’s Bug-In Guide There are a lot of bug out guides out there, but this is probably the first ever BUG-IN Guide. And the truth is that for almost every crisis out there, that’s what makes the most sense! Except for a few unlikely cases like a raging wildfire or tornado barrelling straight for your house, bugging out is a very bad idea. Why would you ever want to leave your amazing home where you probably have a half full fridge, maybe some cans, a warm bed, a roof over your head, as well as neighbours you know, and terrain you’re familiar with, … only to run OUT THERE to some place you know nothing about and try to forage your daily meals? And maybe get 5 calories from some roots after spending 6 calories digging them up. Much better to Bug-In! But you need a guide, or else you might overlook vital things that you just won’t be able to get once a crisis is underway. Inside this unique 240-page physical book, former Navy Seal and BUD/S Instructor Joel Lambert will show you exactly what you need to stockpile and know to turn your house into the safest place on Earth. Unlike most other “survival experts” Joel has survived war and chaos from Iraq to Afghanistan, and other places you’ve probably never heard about. His survival knowledge, which you’ll find in the book, is not theoretical – it’s the purest form of practical. The stuff that actually saves lives and families once things go terribly bad, and there’s no more 911 to call.

We dig deep into our bag of talented pros to speak with James Rosebush and Robert Hunter. These two decades long pros in DC sit on opposite sides of th aisle...yet, they are friends. In part because they are neighbors, but also, because Pete A Turner brought the two together. Rather than gloat, celebrate or denigrate. We'll seek to find areas to collaborate, tolerate and get beyond small party beliefs. Let's see how we proceed now that the demos has spoken.
