[00:00:00] You're listening to PBN.
[00:00:07] You will pay us back the stability here. What is it that gentlemen wish?
[00:00:36] What would they have?
[00:00:38] Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery for bid it
[00:00:49] Almighty God I know not what cause others may take as for me High prices can help.
[00:01:20] High prices, high oil prices can help the environment.
[00:01:25] Cambridge, October 25th, 2021.
[00:01:30] Prices of fossil fuels increased sharply in October European prices for natural gas at record peak.
[00:01:37] Although these high prices partly reflect country specific factors, there must be some more fundamental cause But what are the environmental implications of elevated fossil fuel prices specific to the respect to the fight against climate change?
[00:01:51] The question is particularly salient as the officials from over 200 countries prepared a gathering Glasgow
[00:01:58] For the UN climate change conference the COP 26
[00:02:03] Where they're expected to declare their intention to achieve
[00:02:05] net zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050.
[00:02:11] But today's high-level fossil fuel prices have so far provided a weaker than expected
[00:02:16] stimulus to private investment in the sector.
[00:02:19] This suggests that firms may have reached a tipping point in how seriously they take
[00:02:22] the need to combat global warming.
[00:02:25] True, the effect of regulation of greenhouse gas emissions such as through carbon tax or
[00:02:31] cap and trade scheme can generate strong political resistance anywhere.
[00:02:37] Lawmakers may balk at imposing an extra up operating costs on U.S. manufacturers, if
[00:02:43] so-called carbon leakage or relocation of carbon intensive activities to the countries
[00:02:47] with lower carbon price.
[00:02:49] But these firms at a competitive, but put these firms at a competitive disadvantage.
[00:02:59] This may be what's up everybody before we get going.
[00:03:03] How's everybody doing?
[00:03:04] How's everybody doing out there?
[00:03:08] This idea of
[00:03:12] limiting fossil fuels
[00:03:15] As the northern winter draws closer surging fossil fuel prices have left many consumers worried
[00:03:20] But there may be a silver lining in the form of the more effective US efforts to tackle climate change provided the political will for such measures exists.
[00:03:34] The fossil fuels make the carbon.
[00:03:39] So if we get rid of the fossil fuels, then we don't have any more carbon issues, right?
[00:03:46] This is as far as these people thought about the whole climate change issue.
[00:03:52] It's tremendous.
[00:03:58] I wanted to do a show tonight, a preppers guide to going green, you know, because all
[00:04:03] over this country, there are preppers, there are homesteaders who are
[00:04:06] living off grid, partially off grid, whatever, who have long been going green.
[00:04:12] They didn't need the Paris Climate Accord to help them.
[00:04:15] They didn't need some doofus from Harvard to tell them that it'd be a good idea if the
[00:04:19] fossil fuels were more expensive because then climate change would be stymied.
[00:04:31] What happens?
[00:04:32] PB and family with fossil fuels are more expensive.
[00:04:36] Anybody?
[00:04:40] If you think one step at a time, then you would say people will buy less gas.
[00:04:46] Therefore less carbon effect emissions going up into the...
[00:04:52] If you think about it on a global scale, if you think about it,
[00:04:56] not from, oh maybe my neighbor won't fuel up his private jet this weekend.
[00:05:04] If you think about it from the standpoint of people who,
[00:05:10] like me growing up,
[00:05:14] watch their parents sit at the kitchen table and dig their fingernails into the wood
[00:05:21] and talk about how they would get half a tank of oil this winter to keep it warm.
[00:05:32] When the gas prices go up, when the oil prices go up, the impoverished are affected the most because cheap energy makes everything better.
[00:05:45] Cheap, particularly oil.
[00:05:50] Cheap oil makes everything better.
[00:05:55] I mean, just what it is.
[00:05:58] When you take a population that doesn't have cheap fossil fuels
[00:06:03] or access to natural gas, well
[00:06:05] they'll still be warm and they'll still cook food. And what they'll do is they'll
[00:06:11] burn cow patties or wood or coal, which is way worse for the environment Then just letting them have the natural gas the electric
[00:06:29] Take the the oil you know what I mean?
[00:06:32] This is lost on these people
[00:06:35] So much is lost on these people. I was talking about the fact that you know
[00:06:43] We created some I don't know how we created it, but we created a very interesting
[00:06:47] little pathway for idiots to get really high up in society. And look, I'm not the guy
[00:06:56] to plan climate change policy either. But it just looks very short sighted to me. How short sight did you say?
[00:07:07] Well, there was a study that came out in 2022.
[00:07:14] It was published by a missions data firm called the mission analytics.
[00:07:19] It came out in 2022 and you never heard anything about it. Even though it was published in the Wall Street Journal.
[00:07:29] No, I'm sorry. The study got sort of a head nod in the Wall Street Journal last Sunday.
[00:07:38] Now mind you, this study came out in 2022. Now everywhere you go, you're seeing charging stations pop up. You're seeing
[00:07:48] what is probably the most annoying thing of all. I don't even park close to buildings.
[00:07:51] I park far away from buildings, but it really annoys me that Tesla drivers get their own
[00:07:58] spots closer to the buildings. Why would they do that? Why would we favor them? Raise
[00:08:04] your hand. Why would we favor them? Raise your hand.
[00:08:05] Why would we favor the electric car drivers and say, you know what? You guys should part closer.
[00:08:09] We're going to give you a little something for being what?
[00:08:12] What are they getting a lecture for?
[00:08:14] For being responsible.
[00:08:16] Huh?
[00:08:18] You're not burning that filthy gasoline.
[00:08:22] It's destroying the planet.
[00:08:29] healthy gasoline. It's destroying the planet. You're being responsible with your transportation choices. Okay. Okay. So they get the close spots. They get, you know, they get the charge
[00:08:37] while they're sitting in the store or number whatever situation. Funny thing about these electric vehicles though, apparently they release more toxic
[00:08:47] emissions and are worse for the environment than gas powered cars.
[00:08:54] Hold on, what?
[00:08:56] Did he just say what I think he said?
[00:09:01] Yeah, exactly.
[00:09:05] Exactly.
[00:09:06] Now listen, if it were a little thing here and there, if it were a little something something,
[00:09:10] it wouldn't be that big deal, right?
[00:09:12] The most popular EV in the US, Tesla's Model Y boasts a lithium ion battery that weighs
[00:09:20] in at a hefty 1,836 pounds.
[00:09:26] Now the issue is, because EVs are on average 30% heavier than regular cars, brakes and
[00:09:35] tires on the battery-powered cars wear out faster than on standard cars.
[00:09:41] And emissions analytics found that tire wear emissions on half a metric ton of battery
[00:09:47] weight in an EV are more than 400 times as great as direct exhaust particulate emissions.
[00:09:56] Can we say that again?
[00:10:01] The tires wearing down faster because the EVs are so much heavier. You know, a 30%
[00:10:08] heavier in some cases. The brakes and tires, the brake dust in the tire filth that comes
[00:10:15] off of your car comes off so much more in these EVs that it creates more than 400 times as much particulate emission as your tailpipe.
[00:10:29] You're disgusting racist tailpipe.
[00:10:39] The study throws doubt on the practicality of the Biden minestrains EV mandates which tout electric
[00:10:45] cars as zero emission vehicles.
[00:10:47] You see Joe Biden had a game plan.
[00:10:53] A lot of them, a lot of lizards had a game plan for 2050 and they were getting to zero
[00:10:58] emissions through the Green New Deal.
[00:11:01] You remember?
[00:11:03] They were going to get to zero emissions by 2050. You know what
[00:11:07] occurred to me? That the emissions lunatics are just like the vegans. They're
[00:11:15] the same, they have the same makeup, you know? The vegans believe that eating the pita bread is, makes them way better than you for eating the pita bread with the lamb on it.
[00:11:30] Because oh my god, the lamb got killed, right? Now, again, they're just limited thinkers.
[00:11:37] They don't, they go to one step, they move one step ahead of the time.
[00:11:42] They're like lemmings, they get behind each other.
[00:11:47] that behead at a time. They're like lemmings. They get behind each other. They don't think back to when that wheat that was used to create the pita was a seed and how the fields had
[00:11:53] to be, you know, tilled and everything that ever lived in that field had to be killed
[00:11:58] or moved or sprayed. And then all through the life cycle of that week, deer had to be shot to protect it,
[00:12:08] right? Animals had to be killed, pesticides used, and then the combine comes through and
[00:12:16] basically chews everything up in its way. And while you're eating your pita looking down at me eating my lamb spanicopita
[00:12:30] Saying how much better you are than me you have to remember, you know
[00:12:35] No matter what you do life takes life
[00:12:41] And no matter what you do Joe Biden life takes energy a
[00:12:47] Good life requires energy and people will find their way to that energy. Don't you understand? You're not going to stop them. They're just going to burn the
[00:12:52] neighbor's house down to stay warm. So now that I kick them around a little bit. Heh. Let's run some ads.
[00:13:05] We're going to come back and we're going to talk about a preppers guide to going green.
[00:13:10] Okay.
[00:13:11] Just in a moment, we'll return.
[00:13:14] What if you could pack American made shelf stable protein into your food storage?
[00:13:20] When say Grace plant protein approached me, I was on the fence.
[00:13:25] They taught me their product is not TVP.
[00:13:28] TVP is actually a byproduct of the soybean oil industry.
[00:13:32] This is Fidoestrogen-free, shelf-stable plant-based protein.
[00:13:37] For your health today or doomsday, 20 grams of protein per serving, 90 calories.
[00:13:44] Visit Seygreprotein.com.
[00:13:50] Are you prepared to be the family doctor in a disaster or emergency?
[00:13:55] This is the Intrepid Commander and I'm holding the Prepper's Medical Handbook by William W.
[00:14:01] Forgy MD.
[00:14:03] In this great book you'll learn how to prepare for medical care off the grid.
[00:14:07] You'll learn about assessment and stabilization.
[00:14:10] You'll even deal with things like bioterrorism response, radiation,
[00:14:15] and how to build the off-grid medical kit at home.
[00:14:19] Look 2020 taught us a lot about the limitations of our medical infrastructure in America.
[00:14:26] Get the Preppers Medical Handbook today at Amazon.com.
[00:14:30] Again, that's the Preppers Medical Handbook by William W. 40.
[00:14:35] Hello.
[00:14:37] Welcome to the podcast.
[00:14:40] Present your vaccine passport, enter your social credit score, and be sure you have
[00:14:48] enough remaining carbon credits to enjoy today's show.
[00:15:00] So truth to be told, we've been long at this thing, this greening thing.
[00:15:05] They don't really call it going green anymore.
[00:15:07] Remember it used to be green, the green movement, the green new deal and so on and so forth.
[00:15:12] The going green was when they had hope attached.
[00:15:16] Now it's just climate change and everyone's going to die.
[00:15:20] And it's fundamentally affecting people, you know.
[00:15:36] I mean, it's so baked into the zeitgeist now that people are making life decisions over the fact that the lizards have lied to them and told them that they're, you know, there's really no hope. I mean, it is what it is. It's over.
[00:15:38] We had a good run.
[00:15:40] We had a good run. We burned too much oil.
[00:15:43] And we're all gonna die
[00:15:47] We're not sure when
[00:15:51] Al Gore said 20 what 2012 what did Al Gore say? I?
[00:15:56] Don't know I can't remember who cares. It's all bullshit
[00:15:59] Hello wake up
[00:16:04] Hello wake up
[00:16:09] Get into the real world. Preppers flock to off grid power, right?
[00:16:15] Backup power solutions.
[00:16:16] We love it.
[00:16:17] We love it.
[00:16:18] Solar power, let's do it.
[00:16:20] Solar power, let's cut the amount of money we pay to the government.
[00:16:23] Let's cut all of that, right? Let's cut the amount of money we pay to the government. Let's cut all of that, right?
[00:16:30] Let's cut the amount of money we pay the energy companies. Let's cut it. Let's cut cut cut
[00:16:36] Because the preppers are always been have always been going green
[00:16:44] All you have to do is push to sell sufficiency and get away from dependence. If I were in charge,
[00:16:49] then we would be pushing a preparedness and self-sufficiency agenda at the
[00:16:55] nation, rather than a the world is coming to an end and there's nothing you can do
[00:16:59] to stop it. So just let the criminals run rough shot over the society, kill all the police off, and let's party like it's 1999. When I first started gardening where I
[00:17:15] live now, my home, I was blown away come fall at the amount of leaves that we would
[00:17:23] have.
[00:17:26] There were a lot of trees in our neighborhood.
[00:17:33] And I said to myself, we have enough leaves and we cut enough grass that I should be able to compost this stuff and top be able to top off my raised
[00:17:39] beds, fill buckets with good compost every year.
[00:17:44] There's no excuse.
[00:17:46] We have a ton of this kind of material.
[00:17:51] And we've been able to do that.
[00:17:53] And when you talk about food, when you talk about going green, the idea of food production, speaking sort of this on property cyclical process is it
[00:18:10] should be everybody's goal.
[00:18:11] I mean, do you know how many people put tons of bags of leaves up the street and wait for
[00:18:18] people to come pick them up and take them away?
[00:18:21] Take these things away.
[00:18:23] You know what?
[00:18:24] The very least, and I've
[00:18:25] done this before, it's not the best way to do it, but at the very least, you could rake
[00:18:29] the leaves onto your garden beds and cover them over the winter. It's not going to be
[00:18:35] magical soil the next year when you take the tarps off, but they'll eventually integrate.
[00:18:43] Now leaves are acidic.
[00:18:45] As they break down, they can add acid to your soil, which might be something you
[00:18:49] don't want, but it just it is what it is.
[00:18:56] This is a solution.
[00:18:58] Right.
[00:18:58] This is a solution.
[00:19:12] When you talk about giving people the power to stand on their own two feet, I mean that empowerment is what's missing from the climate change talk.
[00:19:17] And all you I mean many of you already know this so it's no big deal but this is about
[00:19:23] control of course because what are they doing to teach you and help you become more self-sufficient?
[00:19:30] What are they doing?
[00:19:32] Are they doing anything?
[00:19:33] There's nothing being done.
[00:19:36] It's all about give us the keys and we'll make sure that we take care of everything.
[00:19:46] World governments.
[00:19:48] What was the worst one of the worst things Donald Trump did, remember?
[00:19:51] The first, the probably the worst thing he did, which is hilarious when you look back
[00:19:56] at it, is say, I'm going to build a wall with Mexico.
[00:20:01] And they're going to pay for it, right?
[00:20:03] Like building the wall was the most xenophobic racist thing
[00:20:07] You could have ever imagined
[00:20:10] The only thing that sort of like was remotely in the same vein
[00:20:16] Was leaving the Paris climate accords. You remember how upset people were over the Paris climate accords? There's a big deal
[00:20:24] There's between that and the war for the like Max Hatred.
[00:20:30] Why such a big deal?
[00:20:33] You know who wasn't a part of that was China.
[00:20:37] And since they do double the polluting that we do
[00:20:42] from an emissions standpoint,
[00:20:45] polluting that we do from an emission standpoint. You know, I'm pretty sure it's if we fold our numbers in with Europe and we still don't
[00:20:51] touch what China does, like 25%, or 27%, almost 30% of the world's emissions.
[00:21:01] But we had to be on that team, We had to be in that climate accords vital
[00:21:06] It's it was so important by the way that when Joe came in he did it immediately
[00:21:11] Immediately right back in everybody breathe aside relief
[00:21:15] We're right back in
[00:21:17] But don't get too comfortable. We're all gonna die anyway
[00:21:23] You know you we like you can join every group and have every uh,
[00:21:28] You know every
[00:21:30] General guideline and rule written into place
[00:21:35] But I guess these people still go to bed at night and they know the truth about you know electric vehicles being 400 times more polluting than
[00:21:44] You know, electric vehicles being 400 times more polluting than
[00:21:49] gas powered good old combustion engines. The good old modern combustion engine.
[00:21:53] How long did they know about the brake dust and how long did they know about the tires?
[00:22:00] You know what? In other words, you come out and you give like a superhero speech about
[00:22:05] about, you know, saving the the world saving the planet with our EVs
[00:22:10] How life if this emissions analytics study came out in 2022?
[00:22:15] How many speeches between 2022 and now if people came out and said the answer is the zero emissions?
[00:22:23] electric vehicle.
[00:22:27] And then they have to go home at night and be like,
[00:22:29] I just just lie.
[00:22:32] I just lied.
[00:22:35] So you got to leave it in more capable hands.
[00:22:39] And then that's not a collection of presidents
[00:22:43] and leaders and rulers. It's people. That's what we do.
[00:22:50] It's what all of us strive to do. The disconnect from the main water grid, the main power grid,
[00:22:59] right? These are like prepper aspirations.
[00:23:08] these are like prepper aspirations. Like what we could how far off can we get from that dependence?
[00:23:13] So that should something go wrong? Should the big hack finally come?
[00:23:19] I'm not even that. I mean you saw the did you guys see in it? Well, it wasn't. I gotta find the article now.
[00:23:27] I remember I told you like a year or two ago that the power grid will be destroyed internally,
[00:23:33] I think.
[00:23:34] I don't even think it'll be a hack.
[00:23:36] I don't think it'll be a magic EMP coronal mass ejection from the sun.
[00:23:43] Ugh, what was it? I want to see it was Oregon. Climate
[00:23:51] fire Tesla factory. Was it a Tesla factory? That's what it was. Yeah. Mosk attacks
[00:24:02] the amico terrorists over Tesla fire. I'm not at all interested in what he had to and
[00:24:07] musketax dummy go terrorists over Tesla fire I'm not at all interested in what he had to say about it
[00:24:13] I was in Berlin a Tesla's Berlin factory
[00:24:19] but I'm pretty sure that they hit a a voltage tower. An electricity pylon close to the plant caught fire.
[00:24:28] Causing power, what do you mean caught fire?
[00:24:31] Caught fire causing power outages in the factory in nearby towns.
[00:24:35] Tesla said the workers had been sent home,
[00:24:37] but its building was safe.
[00:24:38] The fire did not reach the electric car maker's factory.
[00:24:42] These are either the dumbest eco-terrorists on the earth
[00:24:44] or their puppets of those who don't have good environmental goals. So literally I
[00:24:51] mean you're talking about the you know the giant concrete and steel pillars
[00:24:58] that hold up the high voltage towers they call it the pylons, or the high voltage wires rather.
[00:25:08] I mean, how long till they figure out like, uh,
[00:25:15] the best way that we can deal with climate change is to cut the electricity off forever.
[00:25:22] Somebody's going to figure it out. Somebody's going to figure out that the electricity is the thing of the past. I'm telling you. It might be people who
[00:25:27] don't like the idea of tethering your mind to a wire.
[00:25:33] You know, i.e. Neuralink.
[00:25:35] It might be people who are tired of the government spying on them through their cell phone and through their computer and through their smart TV and through their smart lock and their smart watch right I really do believe that the
[00:25:52] American power the US power grid will come to a stop here eventually and I
[00:26:00] don't necessarily think it's going to be from the pro-Palestinian crowd I think
[00:26:04] it's going to be from some crazy Americans who decide one for you know one way or another the best thing for society is to cut the power
[00:26:13] Now we know again because we know
[00:26:17] The one thing that preppers do better than our most people is no
[00:26:21] Why do we know the things that we know?
[00:26:27] is no. Why do we know the things that we know? And I think it has to do with the fact that we read and do the things that other people don't want to read and do.
[00:26:33] Right? Because we're in a way, we're very brave, we face the things that most
[00:26:38] people would rather not waste their time facing. Well, at least in their mind it's like a waste of time right I'm not gonna read that terrifying article about the big picture I'd much
[00:26:54] rather watch a short YouTube video about it or I'd rather ignore it altogether. Maybe the only thing better than my cyclical sort of game plan,
[00:27:11] maybe the only thing more green is the permaculture perspective, the perennial plant sort of dedication, or the dedication to these perennial plants, a re-imagining
[00:27:28] of what the average backyard is capable of.
[00:27:33] The average backyard is capable of a lot.
[00:27:37] You get Rick Austin's book, who is the godfather of prepping, in my opinion.
[00:27:43] Well, not just my opinion anymore.
[00:27:45] It's a name that I gave him and now tons of people
[00:27:49] refer to him as that.
[00:27:52] But his book, The Secret Garden of Survival,
[00:27:57] I think he said to me they work on about two acres of land
[00:28:01] and they produce way more food than you would ever want.
[00:28:04] You wouldn't even want the amount of food that Rick Austin produces on two acres.
[00:28:08] So that leads me to believe and based on what I'm capable of doing and what Dave Jones
[00:28:13] does and what other people do in small areas, he can do a lot.
[00:28:21] And remember perennials, very little input.
[00:28:28] Fertilizing optional, you know.
[00:28:34] I do fertilize my perennials, but I do it with fish emulsion.
[00:28:35] I've told you that before. I do it with compost tea.
[00:28:37] I do it with compost.
[00:28:39] I guess you could argue.
[00:28:43] But again, now we're talking about a food system that can be and not long ago, three,
[00:28:48] four weeks ago, everybody was I rate myself included about the fact that they how they
[00:28:53] told they wrote that bogus story again, about all the emissions from a backyard for growing
[00:29:03] backyard vegetables are tremendous compared to the
[00:29:06] emissions of growing food in the regular way in agriculture. Who read that and was like,
[00:29:12] that makes sense. I think that's real. Crazy. Absolutely insane.
[00:29:28] crazy absolutely insane but fun I'm tell I did a podcast earlier this week I said you know one day you're gonna miss this I believe that one day all of
[00:29:34] these fleas in Congress are gonna be shook loose all of these fleas at the
[00:29:40] local level are gonna be shook loose because people are gonna say you know
[00:29:44] what things have gotten bad enough
[00:29:46] I think we need to get the idiots out
[00:29:49] That's what I mean we're rapidly approaching it right
[00:29:55] All I have to do is open up the news Sam this is from Fox News San Francisco can no longer be called progressive city
[00:30:02] After the law and order measures pass. What's that
[00:30:05] mean? Law and order measures. Hmm. What do you know? The first of two ballot measures
[00:30:14] position F requires drug screening for people receiving public benefits. And would force
[00:30:19] drug addicts to go into treatment if they want to continue receiving those benefits. Oh, imagine that. What a crime. Proposition E would give law enforcement better surveillance
[00:30:29] tools and rain and oversight over the force, allowing looser restrictions on car chases,
[00:30:34] for example. Now you could say to yourself, San Francisco, you know, it's a one off, right?
[00:30:42] Well this story comes out the same day as another story that's very important but seems to have disappeared from where I was
[00:30:49] reading it all day but I don't necessarily need to read it. New York
[00:30:55] City has said we're putting state police in the National Garden the subway.
[00:31:01] That's what they said that's what they're doing. It took the sacrifice
[00:31:07] of a freedom loving Marine, right? Hopefully he gets off. But it really took that sort
[00:31:14] of a breaking point in order for them to go. And you know, it's not gotten any better
[00:31:17] down there. National Guard to cheer you go. Government
[00:31:24] Hocal did something did the first thing of
[00:31:26] our entire career that makes sense. Government HOCLE to deploy 1000 National Guardsmen and
[00:31:31] State Cops to carry out bag checks in the NYC subways. Imagine that National Guard is
[00:31:38] that is that a real picture? Oh my God look how look how wonderful. Look how wonderful it looks.
[00:31:45] You want to talk about diversity and inclusion?
[00:31:49] Look at this beautiful photograph from the New York Post.
[00:31:52] We have a black woman.
[00:31:54] Pretty sure that might be a black man.
[00:31:57] No, that's a black lady.
[00:32:00] A National Guard member stands watch
[00:32:02] as the MTA police conduct a random bag check at the entrance to the seven train at Grand Central Station
[00:32:12] She's got a beautiful AR-15
[00:32:17] Nice optic on the thing too. Let's zoom in on there. Hey, that looks like a 30-plus round magazine lady. What the hell?
[00:32:23] Hey, that looks like a 30 plus round magazine lady. What the hell?
[00:32:34] Sharp US Army sharp and she looks sharp man. She looks like a soldier's got a little it's good to see
[00:32:37] the state police
[00:32:40] Checking the bag is an Asian woman
[00:32:46] Geared up ready to do work. There's another couple cops there geared up ready to do work.
[00:32:55] I mean, look at it. This is not what you want for the people of New York for the long term. Like you don't want to walk down into the subway and see armed battalions of soldiers.
[00:33:09] battalions of soldiers. But you know what? There are people, and I know this because I took the subway in Philly. There are people walking down those flights who have been dealing
[00:33:14] with hell for years. They've been dealing with hell for years and they walk down those
[00:33:20] where they come down that escalator to the subway and they see a line of people in
[00:33:26] B.D. use with with automatic weapons that are there to protect them. They see police in
[00:33:33] droves that are there to protect them. And I'm telling you right now that there's a lot of
[00:33:37] liberal idiots that are going to be like, this is like a police state and you got a
[00:33:40] one that was people with machine guns. I just don't understand
[00:33:47] Listen, there's a bunch of people in New York who were seeing this stuff and going oh
[00:33:54] My god, okay now I can focus on my job and how much I hate that
[00:33:58] It's at least I don't have to worry about this
[00:34:02] That's a beautiful thing. I mean to me. It's a beautiful thing. I mean to me it's a beautiful thing. Not
[00:34:06] because I want to see state police, MTA police, geared up, gunned up the whole
[00:34:12] nine yards and soldiers with AR-15s in hand, forever in the New York subway.
[00:34:19] But it's a beautiful thing because you get to say like, holy shit, they're doing something about the problem.
[00:34:29] Can you believe they're doing something about a problem?
[00:34:32] It's hard to believe.
[00:34:38] So things are going to change.
[00:34:43] Things are going to change. You know, it's like people are going to create that change because things have gotten so
[00:34:52] bad that it has to change.
[00:34:58] Now the question is, can they make the connections between the moronic DAs that created the mess in New York and the attack on the
[00:35:06] police that created the mess in New York, can they make the connection between
[00:35:12] those people and realize that they're the same people that are saying, don't eat
[00:35:18] beef, get ready your gas guzzling vehicle, which we now know they were 100%
[00:35:24] wrong about, and they've been wrong
[00:35:26] about it for two years and they've still been talking about it as though it's the best thing
[00:35:29] you could do the most amazing eat eat vegan and get ready your gas guzzling car and you will just
[00:35:36] be precious in the eyes of the lizard kinks. Wonderful! The answers come from us. The answers come from the PB and family. They
[00:35:52] come from the preppers. They come from the homesteaders. They come from the people who
[00:35:55] have long been green. Right? Oh, we really, you know, take so much energy to clean the water. It takes so much
[00:36:08] energy to do this and look, we're never going to be separated from energy. We're never going
[00:36:13] to be separated from fossil fuels. My father used to say that we're never going to stop
[00:36:20] creating gasoline until there ain't no more gasoline left. He always would tell
[00:36:28] me that they would talk about different kind of cars they would talk about oil
[00:36:31] prices they would talk about this and that and all you know and my dad would
[00:36:36] always say Jim as long as there's something to pump out of the earth we're
[00:36:41] gonna be using gasoline and no no sooner than the gasoline
[00:36:48] running out. Will we ever stop using it? That's the reality folks. So what needs to happen
[00:36:56] around the world, if you really want to affect the planet, if you really care about emissions,
[00:37:02] is you have to make fuel as cheap as you can make it.
[00:37:12] That's it. You have to figure out how to make it as cheap as you can make it and get it to everybody.
[00:37:20] You get it to everyone because what preppers do is contagious as well. People want to live this way.
[00:37:27] You see it now. Now that people understand what it is, they realize that they want to live this way. You see it now. Now that people understand what it is, they realize that they want to live this way. I need to push my message even stronger. Many of
[00:37:33] you out there listening probably assume I live somewhere in Virginia where it's
[00:37:38] very rural. I'm in Richmond City. My backyard is probably a half acre at best.
[00:37:47] You know what I mean? At best.
[00:37:50] And it's probably less. It's probably closer to a quarter acre.
[00:37:56] And we've been able to do all kinds of their solar panels out there right now.
[00:38:00] There's chickens out there.
[00:38:03] Chicken coops, gardens, perennials, fruit producing
[00:38:06] trees, a creek. The creek we didn't do. But still, you get the point. Like this idea that this idea
[00:38:16] that you can't, you can't go green, prepper style, self-sufficiency style, because you have a small backyard.
[00:38:25] You're not trying hard enough.
[00:38:27] You need to America harder, right?
[00:38:31] You need to America harder.
[00:38:33] I mean, really, you're not American hard enough.
[00:38:38] You're not being innovative.
[00:38:39] Your pursuit of happiness is not strong enough.
[00:38:44] You got more in you.
[00:38:50] So we discuss emissions, we discuss backup power.
[00:38:54] The desire for preppers to be off-grid is a natural thing.
[00:38:59] The desire to catch rain water is a natural thing.
[00:39:06] You know, the things that I have learned about emergency water I wouldn't even need to be on the public water system.
[00:39:14] And you know maybe one day we won't be. I don't know. Maybe one day we won't be.
[00:39:20] We certainly wouldn't need to be. I can assure you that between the resources that we have
[00:39:27] in our lives and I'll just leave that at that for
[00:39:30] obsex perspective, the resources that we have in our
[00:39:33] lives and the things that I have learned over the last 10
[00:39:39] years about filtration and about water storage and about
[00:39:42] water catchment is just we could do it. We could do it.
[00:39:50] We are, I myself, I'm just making the decision with water that is, you know, the same decision
[00:39:58] that you make with a lot of things in your life and I make with a lot of things in mind
[00:40:02] that is comfort and convenience, right?
[00:40:07] But there's no reason not to set up the SHTF infrastructure now.
[00:40:14] It's pretty easy to run, you know, to daisy chain if you will through PVC pipe.
[00:40:26] 555 gallon drums on a wooden frame that sits up off the ground
[00:40:33] and then run your downspouts through them
[00:40:36] and have an overflow on the other side.
[00:40:40] Or maybe have your overflow be a drip irrigation system
[00:40:44] that runs to your garden
[00:40:46] you know think they
[00:40:48] That's all the water you're gonna need
[00:40:50] You know what I mean? I mean if you're at a place that has regular precipitation
[00:40:56] 555 gallon
[00:40:59] Rain barrels filled is tremendous water. How much water is 500? Let's go, let's get
[00:41:06] right down to it for the family of four. Let's get right down to it because I'm
[00:41:11] gonna know. I don't, I can't, off the top of my head it's too late. Let's say 55
[00:41:19] times 5, 275 gallons. We're talking 3, 6, 9 nine 12 gallons a day. If you're doing three
[00:41:28] gallons per person for four people. If you do three gallons a person that's 23 days worth
[00:41:40] of water at three gallons a day per person 12 gallons a day total. That's so much water, man.
[00:41:51] And that's just one solution. You know what I mean? Recently I've been learning about
[00:41:58] biosand filters, biosand filtration. Very interesting interesting man. Really, really incredible stuff that you can do with rainwater and a bio
[00:42:08] filtration sand bio sand filter.
[00:42:14] Yeah, I don't know what the future holds for me in terms of water.
[00:42:17] I feel very comfortable about where we're at right now, but I could go that
[00:42:21] direction. The truth is anybody can go that direction.
[00:42:26] You know, you can have a 55 gallon drum,
[00:42:30] collect water,
[00:42:33] and then run that water through a water line,
[00:42:38] or a diverter that would slowly
[00:42:43] push that water through a biosand filter.
[00:42:46] And what comes out the other end of a biosand filter is the safest water that you can drink, you know?
[00:42:56] It's way got to be way better than tap water.
[00:43:01] And you could do that with 255 gallon drugs and a somewhat of an investment in sand.
[00:43:08] Gravel sand.
[00:43:09] The bio sand filter works off of a, what's it called?
[00:43:14] It's a microbial layer.
[00:43:16] It's called a bio film, I'm pretty sure.
[00:43:19] And the bio film just naturally occurs.
[00:43:24] You run water through it for a couple weeks.
[00:43:28] And the water on the top layer of the biosane filter starts to create this biofilm of microbiology.
[00:43:36] And what this microbiology learns to do is to eat all the parasites and bacteria that
[00:43:43] are bad in the water that's coming through. So you basically create an army of
[00:43:50] microbiology that likes to eat all the types of pathogens that would make you
[00:43:55] sick
[00:43:55] otherwise. And that
[00:43:59] that biofilm is what your water goes through.
[00:44:03] Your water slowly works its way through that biofilm is what your water goes through. Your water slowly works its way through
[00:44:05] that biofilm layer, through the fine sand, through the coarse sand, through the
[00:44:10] gravel, and then out. It's pretty impressive, impressive technology. And when
[00:44:19] you start to wrap your head around that kind of technology, you say to yourself, wow, so what could we do?
[00:44:27] Now I'm going to blow your mind, okay? In a lot of places you're not allowed
[00:44:35] to store rain and rain barrels because of drought. The climate change lunatics tell us that the
[00:44:41] sea levels are going to rise and we're all going to die and drown.
[00:44:47] Why then do we not store more of our water and rain barrels instead of lakes and streams
[00:44:52] in areas that we're concerned about?
[00:44:55] In other words, I'm not going to make a lot of difference at 275 gallons.
[00:45:02] If I'm storing 275 gallons, not that big a deal, right if I'm storing 275 gallons
[00:45:07] Not that big a deal, right?
[00:45:10] If I live in a small city
[00:45:13] of 200,000 people
[00:45:18] That's 55 million gallons of water and
[00:45:22] That 55 million gallons of water now is not
[00:45:26] Knocking on my back door because of climate change, if that's even a thing. It's stored up in my neighbor's rain barrels. This is the prepper's
[00:45:36] guide to going green. I'm not talking to you about anything that should be blowing your mind or revolutionizing, going
[00:45:46] green or prepping.
[00:45:49] I'm merely telling you, look, this is it.
[00:45:53] We're already doing it.
[00:45:54] We've been doing it.
[00:45:57] Make more stuff.
[00:45:59] Grow more stuff.
[00:46:01] Make some of your own energy.
[00:46:03] Grow lots of your own food. grow lots of your own food, raise lots of your own food.
[00:46:08] You can do that on 20 acres or a quarter acre.
[00:46:13] You just can.
[00:46:16] It's whether or not the people choose to.
[00:46:19] Now if we would embrace this concept over embracing gluing our hands to the street. Imagine how far we could get.
[00:46:36] You see, we've been at dehydration, freeze drying, salt curing, all of these things are
[00:46:42] processes that extend the shelf life of the food that we are either buying or story
[00:46:47] I mean or growing
[00:46:52] This this goes a long way this eliminates food waste right? I mean almost every carbon emission situation
[00:47:01] That's out there that people cry about
[00:47:03] Can be remedied or replaced in the prepping world.
[00:47:07] It's just the reality of it, man. We've been added a while. That's because the goal of
[00:47:16] self-sufficiency works for a lot of causes, you know, going green being one of them. You have to understand this is
[00:47:29] weighing on people. It's wearing people out. It's wearing people down. Life is
[00:47:36] tough, you know, but the existential dread of climate change is a big deal.
[00:47:49] February 7th, 2023, how does climate change affect mental health?
[00:47:50] Decades of research highlight the immediate
[00:47:53] and longer term mental health challenges caused
[00:47:55] by rising temperatures and extreme weather events.
[00:47:58] See, that's not what, I don't think that's what's
[00:48:01] affecting people, including anxiety, depression, PTSD,
[00:48:04] suicide, aggression, gender, based violence. Oh, I don't think that's what's affecting people, including anxiety depression PTSD, suicide
[00:48:05] aggression, gender-based violence.
[00:48:07] I don't know about that.
[00:48:12] You see, I don't think looking at wildfires is what makes people depressed.
[00:48:19] I think it's looking at wildfires and floods and hurricanes and then having your elected officials blame
[00:48:25] it on you is what affects people.
[00:48:29] Truly.
[00:48:31] Higher temperature can lead to more aggressive behaviors.
[00:48:36] Listen to a 2021 study found that violent crime in Los Angeles increased by 5.7% on days when temperatures
[00:48:45] rose above 85 compared with cooler days.
[00:48:52] What this leads to guys is a generation of people who are like, I'm not having kids.
[00:49:01] You know what I mean?
[00:49:02] A generation of people who are like, I'm not gonna have kids.
[00:49:05] It's too terrible a world to bring children into this life.
[00:49:13] So I wanna end tonight's show with a story.
[00:49:16] I wanna introduce you to a man.
[00:49:20] Introduce you to a man who was born April 7, 1934.
[00:49:24] His name was Richard Kimball, okay?
[00:49:27] Born 1934, okay? Benton 1934 was like, it was it. You know, the Hitler had just come into
[00:49:38] power. The United States was in the throes of the Great Depression.
[00:49:47] There was a massive slum clearance in New York because so many people had lost their
[00:49:51] homes.
[00:49:52] Hundreds of thousands of Americans lose their homes and have no other option than to live
[00:49:55] in slums.
[00:49:58] Franklin D shows up in his great government intervention.
[00:50:17] This man comes into the world after the nightmare of the First World War.
[00:50:22] 1917, we declare war on Germany.
[00:50:30] By the time he's seven years old, rich.
[00:50:34] By the time he's seven years old, rich is watching, or eight, I'm sorry.
[00:50:40] No, seven. By the time he's seven years old, he's watching the headlines about Pearl Harbor.
[00:50:49] And he's really realizing that World War II is now, is nigh, right? And he probably had a slew of people who went in his neighborhood, went off the war. So Rich
[00:50:56] Kimball grows up, not in the threat of a World War, but his childhood, he grows up, the next four years of his life
[00:51:05] are dictated by world war.
[00:51:09] As early as days would have been growing up, growing up, out, growing out of a Great Depression
[00:51:16] in the United States, growing into a world war, that of course would co accommodate in something that what we can't even wrap our head around,
[00:51:31] which is the US dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima Nagasaki, right? Like you have to, in order
[00:51:39] to understand, he would have now been what seven, 11 years old. So he's a let rich Kimball's 11 years old. All right
[00:51:49] And at 11 years old he's seeing something happen that nobody's seen happen on the planet ever before
[00:51:57] We don't have anything like that. There's nothing beyond the nuclear bomb that we could see that we know of
[00:52:04] There's nothing beyond the nuclear bomb that we could see that we know of.
[00:52:19] But at 11 years old, he's watching Japan get nuked, probably on the headlines of the newspaper and hearing it over the radio and going, wow, 200,000 people gone.
[00:52:23] This is his world.
[00:52:25] I don't know what they're teaching them in school about history and the history of America,
[00:52:30] you know, in the history of Europe and places like that.
[00:52:33] But what he knows for sure is his life has been great depression, World War II, atomic
[00:52:40] bombs. bombs and by 1950 the US intervenes in the Korean War in which he joins the Air Force
[00:52:50] and the flight in Korea.
[00:52:55] Okay now by 1955 the United States enters the Vietnam War and I'm pretty sure Richard Kimball has his first daughter and this
[00:53:07] is a serious serious moment but if it's not in 1955 then it's no later than
[00:53:14] 1956 because he has a second daughter by 1958 and I know that about his second
[00:53:21] daughter like I know the back of my hand because his daughter that he gave birth to in
[00:53:26] 1958 was my mother
[00:53:31] I'm talking about my grandfather Richard Kimball
[00:53:36] Who was born in a time when you couldn't even fathom having children
[00:53:42] During a great depression
[00:53:54] And he was a man who had a massive family. It's something like 11, no, 14 grandchildren, 11 great grandkids. And he grew up in a world
[00:54:03] where the United States had tanked. The United States economy,
[00:54:07] it wasn't, oh my god, an economic collapse is coming, could be coming, might be coming.
[00:54:13] A recession is on the horizon. No, the economy of the United States collapsed and people
[00:54:19] were hanging themselves, living in slums in New York, losing their homes the whole thing. He sees the attack
[00:54:30] on Pearl Harbor when he's seven years old. He watches the world go into a true world war,
[00:54:37] not what if and maybe and might and what if and oh no and who you who.
[00:54:43] And seeing and then he sees of course you know the unbelievable
[00:54:48] reality of the atomic weapon.
[00:54:51] Can you imagine seeing two atomic bombs go off and five years later you join the military?
[00:54:58] I'm coming Korea.
[00:55:02] You come home and promptly start to have a family.
[00:55:05] In other words, you live through utter horrors of war and depression.
[00:55:12] Then the moment you get a time to take a breath, you marry Doris and you have a family. So to those of you out there who have children who or maybe are children
[00:55:28] or young adults who are saying to yourself that I can't even imagine bringing kids into
[00:55:35] this messed up world. I want you to remember the story of Richard Kimball, my grandfather. Born April 7, 1934 in the midst of the Great
[00:55:47] Depression, having basically grown up in war, then joining war and going and seeing war,
[00:55:55] and coming home to promptly have a family. And that family would go on to live through some of the most amazing times in American history.
[00:56:08] Have a good night, PBN family.
[00:56:11] You're on the right path, man.
