IC Reads the Newspaper and Riffs: Public Execution, Susan Dell, and more...

You're listening to PBN. You will pay us back this ability. Man, we are live, folks. And we today are doing a... We're doing a stream, man. We are doing a no intentions kind of stream today. Other than riffing on news and having a good time. That's it. Let me go live over at Instagram. I don't know. I need a... I feel like all my shows lately have been filled with intentions. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. You ever notice the things you wish for in life, you often wind up getting, and then you, you know, first world, you just bitch about them. Maybe it's everybody, you know, maybe it's everyone. Maybe there's something to the whole idea of, uh, chasing rather than getting, you know what I mean? I did. It's true. It's 100% true. I find myself in the situation. I know many people do. They find themselves in this situation. Like, Lamenting the things they once wished for. Lamenting the dreams they've already achieved, right? Oh my, I got to get up and do and I have to say and I got to do. And then after that, I have to go here and do that. And you realize that if you could talk to yourself 10 years ago, you'd be saying, wow, I'd love to be doing all those things, right? Well, one of the things I was trying to do over at PBN was spend a little more time with focused, intentional podcast content. Try to create a bit of a balance between that and shows like today, which will be largely a stream of consciousness, a little newspaper, you know what I mean, and opinion and whatever else, philosophy, whatever we get into. But it is funny. You know what I mean? You put these changes in place, you put in the effort, you do the planning, you do, you know, the thing, and then you find yourself in a situation where you're like, let's get back to the fun. You know, I'm going to wave to my camera real quick. So it stops following me around. Johnny five, we call him the AI powered camera here that makes the show possible. And because we're in like overcast skies, this particularly, um, I don't know. Expensive camera. Doesn't look so good. I don't know. No big deal. We are currently streaming on Kik. We are streaming on Rumble. We are streaming on Instagram Live. We are streaming on X. We are streaming on Twitch. We are streaming on Instagram. We are streaming on Facebook. Listen to me, people. If you're watching this on those platforms, please do me a favor. Go to PrepperBroadcasting.com if you want to reach out to me, okay? I go to Rumble. I go to Instagram pretty... I go there a lot. You message me on Instagram, you'll get me. You message me on X, you'll get me. Facebook, I've been spending a little more time at. LinkedIn, I never go to. Twitch, I never go to. Kick, I rarely go to. And Rumble, I go to to start the streams, but I don't spend a lot of time finding out who's commented and that kind of stuff, okay? The only downside to streaming to all these platforms is the idea that we're somehow going to keep up with it all. Grosset, man, how you been? Ain't seen you in the chat in a long time. What's up? So, I don't know. I just want to talk news. I want to talk what's going on. There's a lot of shit going on. You know what I mean? There's a lot going on in the world. Not the least of which is the announcement by Pete Hegseth that we're going to shoot Nadal Hassan publicly. And what are your thoughts on that? What do you guys think about that? Public execution in the United States at Fort Hood. What are your thoughts on that? Nidal Hassan shot and killed 13, screamed Allahu Akbar. He was the psychiatrist of all things on site. The weapons were taken away by everybody's favorite president, Bill Clinton. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Bill Clinton was the guy who said we're not going to carry sidearms and weapons anymore on bases. Isn't that great? You train a soldier to kill and then take away their main implement for killing. Robbie in Instagram chat says he deserves it. I agree with you wholeheartedly. I'll take it one step further. Not only does Nidal Hasan deserve it, firing squad execution, right? It's treasonous. Can we get back to treason? I don't want to see, I think this is the whole thing, is nobody wants to see the lady get injected with the lethal injection and live. Nobody wants to see, well maybe not nobody, but most people are cool with the rest of their life going without public execution. But we've We've played it so soft for so long in this country that now this is where you wind up. This is just a glimpse of where things could go. This is like a warning, I think. It's not some brilliant strategic warning from Pete Hegseth. It's a warning in the greater scheme of sort of the balance between violence, you know, unmitigated and the public's reaction. Right. Right. So in other words, when people are punished sufficient to the crimes consistently at all levels of society, then I think that's how a society moves away from public executions. That's how you wind up in a country where you're like, dang, nobody's been killed by firing squad since World War II, public execution style. This is a good thing, right? But everything gets corrupted. Everything in the world gets corrupted. And what we're looking at is just that. This is backlash from a DOJ that wouldn't let soldiers kill the enemy in the war, right? Consistently sees a swelling and a takeover of radical Islam in the United States of America in multiple states now. It's not going to slow down. It's going to keep going. Covering up dangerous Islamic mentality and you know uh doxy largely with the idea of islamophobia right so you can't say like hey i don't know about this marrying 10 year olds thing oh you're islamophobic then okay that that's a quick way to make me not give one fuck about uh Islamophobia as a word or as repercussions, right? Robbie says it's the same in England as well. Everywhere. He also says it keeps people in order. Well, welcome to the PBN family, Robbie. Like I said, this is going to be shaded by the mainstream media as like bloodthirsty. People want to see this. People want to see brown people get executed. It has nothing to do with that. It has everything to do with an out-of-hand justice system where people are not getting punished. It doesn't matter about color. It has nothing to do with color. It really probably doesn't even have that much to do with religion at the end of the day, right? It was a wartime crime. It was a treasonous act, and that's what it was. If things had been dealt with better— If we put a leash on people in Dearborn, Michigan, so that there weren't, you know, just massive. I mean, what you have going on right now in Chicago and Detroit are black people who've been here forever fighting with Islamists who have just shown up and said, you know what, we're just going to call people the N-word and just, you know, holler at old black ladies. Look it up. It's happening. Never going to report it. It's happening. There's a battle going on. It's only going to get more ugly. And I believe it's a battle that the Muslims will lose. You know what I mean? I would not recommend it, guys. I would not recommend it. But it is something that's happening in the background. Why is it happening? Because something happens when we get to, well, I don't want to go down that path. That's too far afield. Here's what I do know. This is how I know things have changed so dramatically. Because if we were talking about public execution five years ago, it'd be a very different response from the general public. What you're going to hear from the general public on this thing, man, is going to surprise you. You're going to hear a lot of people in your day-to-day life go, yeah, good. Why is that? Have they changed? You think the people in your life have changed? People you work with, people you see, maybe live with, you think they have changed dramatically? No, it's not that they've changed dramatically. It's they've watched crime They've watched treason at the highest level and down to the lowest. They've watched the communists, the socialists in the streets telling them that America is a pile of dog shit and that's it. They've watched people get out of jail 16, 17 times and commit a murder. We in Virginia have watched Abigail Spanberger tell ICE that they have no business doing anything with illegal aliens in her state. And then all of a sudden an illegal alien kills a Virginian. It's happened four times now. So, you know, it just is what it is. There are certain equations in this life that, you know, are used to live in Detroit in the 90s. It was never like it is now, says Robbie in the Instagram chat. Thanks for your input, man. I appreciate it. It's important to get your guys' input on these things. These are big issues, man. Talk about people getting publicly executed in the United States of America. Of course, it'll all be the fault of the tyrant Donald Trump, but... I don't know. This is... I hate to say it, but this is as good as it gets on this story, on this concept, on this idea. Do you know what I mean? What you really don't want to see is a guy like Nadal Hassan or subsequent guys... who have committed atrocities being drug out of their houses by guys in black face masks being shot in the head in their front lawn. But if injustice goes on long enough, that's exactly what will happen. Mark my words, man. What do you think's going to happen? You know what I mean? You think people are going to get trampled forever? We have people in the streets of the United States running around with, you know, claiming they're... claiming they're... protesting the election that is to come and the attack on their right to cast a vote. But they're running around with Palestinian flags and foreign flags. There's warnings from the FBI every other day about domestic terror and the like. We're at war with the, I mean, everyone seems to forget this, but we're at war with the premier funder of worldwide terrorism. Maybe. I don't know. Probably need a little more information on where China's money goes. But as far as we know, as far as everybody says, right, this is Iran is the funnel. Right. Robbie in chat says he wishes Trump took over England. What do you guys think about Europe? What do you think about Europe? Right. I mean, Europe's been conquered before. Europe has has had. Wars on top of war. They've been at war with literally their next-door neighbors. They've survived it. Their culture survived it. And they've lived through that. But what do you think about something like that? You know what I mean? I got an AI bot over on Kik that popped on. Hey, boss, how's everything? Your positive energy honestly unmatched. I'm talking about guys getting shot. In the face. Oh, my God. Maybe the internet really is dead. I don't know. What happened to your beard, James? Europe is in chaos. Jorate, my man, my Portuguese brother, how you doing this morning, bud? It's good to see you. I don't know. I got a little upset last night and just shaved it all off. It's no big deal. The cool thing about a beard is it grows back. And the cool thing about my beard is it grows back in like a week. I'm like the Wolverine with the beard. I don't know. It's fine. The Common Sense Practical Prepper over at X. Okay, this is getting cool now. Now this is getting pretty cool. We're getting chat from Instagram. We're getting chat from Kik, even though it's bot chat, and we're getting chat from X. You guys got to listen to the Common Sense Practical Prepper podcast. He is not on PBN. You have to go find him, okay? Look it up. Look it up. He's a good guy. He knows his stuff. A lot of experience. Way cooler credentials than mine. Trust me. I'm Steven Seagal, but remember Under Siege? I'm like Steven Seagal, but actually when he says, nah, I'm just a cook. Do you remember that movie? He's like, you some kind of special forces guy or something? He's like, nah, I'm just a cook. But really, that's me. Really, I'm just a cook. Way better credentials over at the Common Sense Practical Prepper. And a great story to boot, man. A great story he's working on. It's going to be a book soon. So get to know him. He's on here all the time on PBN as a guest. So, I don't know. Those are my thoughts on public execution on Nidal Hasan. I'll watch it. I will happily watch it. I have no problem seeing someone, you know, my ex. I was joking with the guys the other night. My ex is people getting executed all the time anyway. everything I see on, on X is somebody getting beat up, stomped, stabbed, shot. You know, we live in a world of make-believe where we're like, no, that stuff doesn't happen in my neighborhood. So it doesn't happen anywhere. I think it's a sign of the times folks. But the good thing is, I think we can back away from this. You know what I mean? We can get away from it. We don't have to continue down the path where we're like, who's next? Line them up. You know what I mean? Who's next? Um, I know the people on the left side of the country are terrified. Either that or it's make-believe. I can't really figure them out. But I think there's some fear that Donald Trump is going to start lining everybody up and shooting them. I don't understand it. I don't see it. I guess they point to the ice. The nurse who was killed by ice or something. But I look at his situation. Here's a guy who shows up. to a protest with a 9mm and multiple loaded magazines and gets right to work fighting with ICE. You know what I'm saying? Nothing wrong with it. I mean, it's good loadout, but it's just, you know, I don't know. There's consequences in life, man. Robbie says, Europe is lawless now. Jorate from Portugal says, Islamization in full speed. It's crazy, this leftist agenda. It is crazy. That's the weird thing is how crazy it is. Is it crazy in Europe because they're afraid? And I mean, when I say they, I mean leadership. Is the leadership petrified to say, we've got to stop this right now because our countries are going to be dissolved? The other question I have is for anyone who's on the left wing watching this, listening to this, if you're a If you're a true blue left winger, right? If you're a true blue anti-colonist, anti-colonizer left winger. If you're a true blue, you know, give the land back to the Native Americans left winger. I have to know where you fall on the Europe issue. I have to know. Please comment. Please tell me where you fall with the Europe issue. Because as near as I can tell, British colonizers hop on their big old Navy ships, go all over the world, make their little provinces and such. It drives you absolutely nuts. The colonizing element. America, same thing. We had our wars with the Native Americans and so on and so forth. The nasty and terrible colonizing of white people. This is like doctrine to you guys. So if colonization is a bad thing, if protecting the Native American is the goal, How does it get flipped when we get to Europe? How can it be flipped when we get to Europe and we see, oh, I think this land is being taken over by foreigners. It's being colonized. The natives of the land, i.e. the British, French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, the whole nine yards, right? The natives who've been there forever, uh, They're getting displaced, killed, thrown in jail by their own retarded governments. And I'm asking myself, break it down for me. What do they say? Make it make sense, right? Make it make sense. I don't get it. I can't figure it out. I can't figure out how the Native Americans is precious and we must worship him and give him our house and give him our land or else we're unjust colonizing bastards. But the Brit, screw him. Throw him in jail for social media posts. The Frenchman, who cares? Throw him in jail with his crusty baguettes and call it a day. I don't understand it. I can't figure out the mentality. You know what I mean? It's too far flung for me to follow. I also want to talk about... I also want to talk about Susan Dell. This Susan Dell thing has really... The whole internet is exploding over Susan Dell right now. Even though it's the second time we saw her. If you were paying attention to the Trump accounts, the first go around, she was in there. Everybody's got like a conspiracy about it or, you know, she's weird or, you know, she's a reptile. I've been talking reptilians for a long time, guys. I've been talking to lizards for a long, long time. But there's there is a story here. And it really is more reflective, I think, of you than anything. Right. Like there's this big, strange sort of, I don't know. First and foremost with Susan Dell, let's go here, right? She's 66. She's a woman. You know what I mean? She's a 66-year-old woman, first and foremost. You know what I'm saying? So start with that. That's what you're looking at. You're looking at an almost 70-year-old lady. OK, who's trying to keep up and she's got the money to carve herself up really good. You know what I mean? And that I think that explains a lot. You know what I mean? That explains it. I can't even imagine. I mean, can you imagine having the means? You're loaded, right? You're loaded beyond any any comprehension. They got like 250 billion. They donated six billion like get this shit out of here. Six billion, right? Or wasn't that what it was? 6.2 or 2.7, whatever. They've donated billions with an S. And, you know, if you're a kid, like eventually you're going to take that money out of that account. So. Unless you die, I don't know what happens then. I'm not saying that the Trump accounts thing is completely on the up and up. When I first saw it and figured out what what it was, I immediately thought, well. you know, why not go after it? There's no reason not to, right? There's no reason not to sign up. Government knows your kids and where they live. And I just, I seen a post today about like, don't give all the information about your child to the Trump accounts. What do you think? You think you're flying under the radar like that dude with your kids? Meanwhile, there's 150 pictures up of your child from last month on social media. But anyway, so I didn't look at it from that angle, but I definitely looked at it as like, if the economy's crashing or could crash or might crash or will crash, or if we want the stock market to do even better, what's a way that we can inject the stock market with a bunch of money, you know, like a donation of billions without it looking like we're propping up the stock market? Trump accounts, right? And, you know, it's government, so... I wouldn't recommend putting a bunch of money into a Trump account. That doesn't seem like a good idea. That'll probably work out for you the same way Social Security has worked out, right? Well, we invested $ 10, 000 into the Trump account and what happened is we fell into financial ruin as a nation and they just took it all. But if they're going to put money in the bank account for your kid and it's going to collect interest, you'd be silly not to sign up, right? You don't have to put money in there. But if they're young, it's only going to appreciate. We play a funny money game with the stock market to begin with. And if it crashes, you didn't lose any money, right? Really. But you have this lady in Susan Dell, right? Susan Dell's done well. She's done very well indeed. You know, Dell Technologies, they got a few dollars, a few fazoles packed away. They donate billions of dollars, maybe not 100% to kids, but there's going to be kids who make out with that money. You know what I mean? That's just going to happen. There's going to be kids that make out with that money. It's like $ 250 to some insane amount of kids, right? And the reason I keep talking about that is because what really sticks with me about Susan Dell is not the fact that she's from Mars because I don't, I think that's crazy, right? I think you got an old lady who, I mean, can you imagine what it must be like to be a rich woman? And is there any fate worse than being an old rich lady? You know what I mean? Who was once in your prime and, you know, your husband's this business guy who's always to and fro and you want to be desirable for him and you're getting older and you know you're getting older and getting older for a rich guy doesn't mean jack shit. You know what I mean? It really means nothing. getting older for a rich lady means, you know, could mean divorce, which ain't too bad of fate. I guess you get half, but you know what I'm saying? If you want to do things on the up and up, if you want to have a good marriage and all that kind of stuff, it probably is pretty hellacious. And if you have the means and have the ability to go under the knife and do all this kind of crazy stuff to yourself, to try to stay, to try to fight off father time, and you're constantly in the mirror, you know what I mean? You're always in the mirror. I the nose is looking off, the cheekbones. I got to suck a little fat out of here and put it into there. Then I think you wind up with what looks like a Susan Dell, right? I think that's what you wind up with. From a looks perspective, right? Now, 67 years old, maybe you're on some kind of medications, the looking around thing is kind of crazy, but who knows? I mean, your brain could be, you got a 70-year-old brain in there. You know what I mean? God only knows what could be going on. People's brains go. They go. You get dementia at that age and stuff. It happens. Eating foie gras for 50 years, you know what I mean? Takes its toll on you. But what really sticks with me about this whole Susan Dell situation is... No matter how you look at it, there's going to be kids... And it doesn't matter what color kids. It doesn't matter what background, demographic, all that kind of stuff, right? Well, it does, because below a certain dollar figure, I think, gets it. So you have kids who are eventually going to need money, who are going to get money. They're going to have money from this situation, right? You've got this family, you've got this woman who in part donated tremendous amounts of money to the children of America. And I know there's tax deductions. I know there's some wonky stuff going on. But at the end of the day, that's what happened. At the end of the day, there's accounts that are created for kids. Which is probably better than you're going to do, right? How many accounts are you going to open up for a kid that you don't know, right? America reacts to this and the internet reacts to this by a level of mockery and a level of sort of... And it... I guess what's really weird about it is it's a shallow attack on someone who donated an insane amount of money to kids. On the face of it, right? Like, on the face of it. You got this lady. Maybe you look at her and you go, oh, not for me. Maybe you look at her and you go, is that an alien? Maybe you look at her and go, Jesus, what happened to that one? But on the face of it, you've got a family and a matriarch of that family who donated billions of dollars and worked probably a lot of work to set this whole thing up. Trump accounts set up. If you have a child in America and you're not loaded with money, then they're going to have access to money that this woman took out of her pocket and gave to your kid. And I guess what's really sticking with me in this whole thing is the fact that the response of the internet is to mock this person relentlessly. And maybe there's even reason to mock this person relentlessly, right? But it's like, you got nothing else to do? You got nothing better to do? You know what I mean? You got nothing better to do. You watch that whole conference... And come away with that. You wrap your head around this whole concept of like, dang, getting some good money. And you come away with, let's ridicule the wife relentlessly. We started a emergency comms group every Sunday. Every Sunday we do a Pocklink emergency comm group. If you're watching, just put comms group in the... Now put radio check in the comments if you're watching. Radio check. Put that in the comments and I'll get you fixed up so you can be a part of our weekly emergency communications check-ins. You should really do it. If you're into prepping at all and you don't, if you're sitting there with a ham radio and going like, I hope that when everything goes down, I'll have my ham license by then. Screw all that, right? Join our group. But what I'm saying is, we announced this great plan, right? Like, Anybody can get in. Literally, you don't have to sign up for nothing. You buy a radio, you tune it to a certain band, and you can radio check with us. It's national. It really is a legitimate alternative communications method for everyone. We set all this up. We explain it. My buddy Chin, the comms guy for PBN, he said, He makes an AI image of me. I made a comment on the podcast. I said, this Preppers National Radio Net, let's piss on this right now and call it our own. What I was saying was kind of simple. It was just, look, nobody's playing around in this net yet, so let's just go on it weekly and turn it into our own. Let's put it to use. It's out here. They created it for somebody to use. Let's be the people that use it. So I said, let's piss on this radio net and make it our own. And he created a little image. It's a hilarious image too, by the way. I should throw it up. If I have it, I'll throw it up. But he created this great image of me basically peeing on a cell tower. And I posted up on Instagram and it did really well. It got like a lot of thousands of views and stuff. It did really well. And I was blown away because the one comment that lingered was a guy who, what he said was, AI is not art. Don't call AI art. And the reason I'm bringing it up is because it really reminds me of exactly what the hell we're talking about with the Dell situation, right? It's like, and I fear for America because we do this all the time. And it really bugs me. right? It's like we have things of great thought and depth happening, taking over, right? We have these things happening and these moments in history where there are people who are in some ways sacrificing something out of their life for the betterment of others. But the Review the internet reviewer world, the find something wrong world that we exist in now, which is what you exist in, whether you know it or not. You exist in a world where everyone's out to find the thing that's wrong, right? Because we live in that world, these people who dedicate their time and their effort to things, man, they wind up in a situation where all of a sudden they're going out of their way to make things better. And the only thing anyone has to say is, that lady looks... She's a mess. I'm sorry. Fine. But do you pay attention at all to the actual thing, to the big picture here? Right. It was this it just mirrors the situation with the radio comms group. Right. It's like we have for everyone an opportunity to check in every Sunday night, 9 p.m. Eastern with a group of people from across the country. Check in. Make sure your radio works. Keep your radio charged because you're going, oh, you know what? Every Sunday I got my radio check. I'll pop in. I'll bring my dad joke. We'll have fun. And we'll touch base with people all over. Right. This Sunday we'll probably be doing hurricane updates. Like we're going to have people who can report on what they're seeing in terms of the hurricane. And again, I got to do it every Sunday. Not to be, you know, a baby, but it is what it is. Somebody's got to run it. Right. All of this stuff goes into a project. Some doofus on the Internet. Well, that's not that's not art. That's a slop. OK, but you're you're missing the point, buddy. You're missing the point. And I don't know. You know what I mean? It's just one. I don't I'm bitching. I'm bitching because it's endemic. I mean, it's a pretty cool picture. Come on. We're going to make those hats, by the way. I love that hat so much. I've already prototyped that hat. I need that hat. If you like those hats, we can get them for sale. So that's my take, man, on Nidal Hasan public execution and, yeah, you know, the Susan Dell thing. I just see it blowing up everywhere and everybody's got to everybody's got an opinion. You know what I mean? Nobody really cares about your opinions all that much. It just I mean, this is what it is. I don't know. It's not easy. You know, it's not easy to have people care about your opinions. I think you have to have an informed opinion more than just an opinion. You have to have some kind of background or something. I don't know. Let's look at some other news before I hop in the newspaper. I don't know how long this is going to go. This could go two hours. I'm not really concerned about time this morning. The only thing that's got me concerned is that I'm almost out of coffee and it's cold. We may have to run a commercial break and I'll run into the house and get a coffee refill. Georgia governor declares state of emergency to prepare for Hurricane Isaiah. I'm just going to call it Isaiah. I don't care. Hurricane Isaiah, man, the first the first Atlantic born hurricane of the year, October 9th, man. Category three storm. It's no joke, dude. It is no it's a big boy. It's a big boy. I hope you got what you need. Hurricane folks. You know what I mean? Again, if you're in a situation right where you've been playing with the radio check. We're going to turn our radios on all day Sunday as this thing approaches. People will be there. You know what I mean? If you don't know, you don't. It's hard to explain things, especially deep in the preparedness woods. Like it's hard to explain things when you're deep in the preparedness sticks. Because a lot of people are surface level, right? They have this sort of fantasy of how things are going to go. Fantasy of how they're going to react and how things are going to work out for them and theirs. And until you either test it or play around with it or, you know, you don't know what you don't know. And what's really hard for me, what's really hard for me and my hosts is we do know. And we're trying to get you there as quickly as possible. And a lot of people, because the prepping business, the business of prepping has been so adulterated by crap that a lot of people see our recommendations and go, nah, you know. we're not going to do that. We don't trust that. We don't this, we don't that we don't the other thing. Right. And that is what it, I can't help you with it. So it is what it is, but you know, we've got 10 years just so you guys know, right. You, you can look at the podcast, you can scroll back on the podcast, you can scroll back on rumble. You can, you can't find us on YouTube cause we've been executed over there publicly, publicly executed by YouTube about three times. Um, No peeps on that one. But we've got 10 years of doing this. You know, if we were fly-by-night podcast network who put out a bunch of products that sucked and a bunch of shows that gave bad information, then we'd be gone. You know what I mean? We'd be gone. I can't afford to just pay bills to run a podcast network and website and this and that and the other thing. Just, you know, like people's pay to support the podcast. There's a link in the description if you want to pay to support the podcast. You can pay five bucks a month and you get The Spreaker podcast for $ 5 a month, you get no ads on the podcast. And then you also get a whole... I mean, you get about five, seven years of members-only content. And what I've been doing on the members side with content over there is I've been doing a 10-year back look, like a 10-year look back on big preparedness stuff, like a 10-year look back on... What do I know about starting fires now 10 years in? The one I just posted this week was, what do I know about community 10 years in as a prepper? In 2015, I wrote a book about prepping. Really, it was a book about neighborhooding better. So what's that look like 10 years later? A lot of things, man. Things change with time. You know what I mean? Looks like the hooties... U.S. issues security alert to citizens in the Middle East after Houthis attack Saudi Arabia. Anybody who doesn't know what's going on, with the Middle East, just ask yourself one question. If we left the Houthis alone for five years, do you think they would stop attacking people? That's all. That's all you need to know. Just ask that one question. Would they stop attacking people? Is America winning the AI race? Anybody concerned about America winning the AI race? I have no concern. Joyd has a great little tip about preparedness from the European standpoint. He says, we have a 3-3-3 plan in Europe every three hours on Channel 3 Citizen Band for three minutes. It's pretty cool. It's a good radio comms plan, the 3-3-3 plan. Every three hours on Channel 3 Citizen Band for three minutes. I like it. Keep it simple, man. Everything in prepping should be simple. This is why I don't do ham radio. It's too complicated. You know what I mean? I know that I'm not going to be in a ham radio every week. I'm not joining your ham radio group. I can't even imagine sitting through one ham radio group. No offense. If you're into it, you're into it. God bless you. Without people like you, we wouldn't have it. But you got to get real with yourself. You got to know what you're going to do and not do, right? EPA to scrap methane emissions rule potentially saving the U.S. $ 45 billion. Where's that going to go? I got a real problem with all this. I got a real problem with the money that's being made with tariffs and things like that. And the debt stays exactly the same. Put that money towards the debt. What do we want our money to keep alive? I like Molly Englehart. What do we want our money to keep alive? That's interesting. Dating is not a recession. It just needs direction. Will AI devalue the real world? Jeffrey A. Tucker. We may read that. We may read that. America's Seasonal Emergencies by Molly Englehart also looks good. Look, guys, here's what we have to do, okay? What's up, Cosmos Souls? Reticulum is better than ham. I agree with you. Here's what we got to do, okay? We got two problems. Problem number one, I've been drinking coffee since 6 in the morning. It's 10 o'clock. That means I've got to take a leak. Number two, the coffee cup has run dry. So what we're going to do, you can leave if you want. This is going to be a long ad, but it is what it is. I've got a great ad for an incredible product called the Prepper Disc. It's fun to watch. It's fun to listen to. Why do I have my headphones on still, by the way? It gives me a minute 26 seconds to... Refill the coffee and take a leak, all right? We're going to race. I'm going to leave you with this, and I shall return, God willing, if I don't trip up the steps. What also you put in here is your home internet, your home off-grid internet, right? What's your home off-grid internet? Your home off-grid internet is your prepper disc, right? When the Wi-Fi goes out, when the power goes out, your family connects to the prepper disc. What makes the prepper disc so unique is that You can hop on it. Your wife can hop on it. Your sons can hop on it. Your daughter can hop on it all through their phone or device just by connecting to the Wi-Fi, right? It comes packed with all kinds of goodies. It's got 60,000 classic books. It's got FEMA. It's got maps. It's got medical. It's got prepping resources like you wouldn't even believe. It's got entertainment. If I had a prep or disc back in 2020... I would put my kid's entire curriculum on the Prepper disc here, and he would have used this as an online resource to do his work. So you and your wife can watch a movie in a grid-down type situation or an emergency on your iPad pulled from your Prepper disc while your kid does his homework on his iPad from the Prepper disc while your daughter's reading the Gutenberg Library of 65,000 classic books, whatever one she wants. You know what I mean? That's the whole idea. I am back. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry if that took too long. It is what it is. Hey, check this mug out real quick. It is from... The Norbertine Canonesis. Of Saint Joseph. I love this thing. They are... Catholic nuns who... Wake up in the middle of the night and pray... with the mothers who are up with their children and you know I don't know some things are so good that it's like how can you even how can you not support that right it's just something I don't know this is one of those things it's like a God's hand on the back thing you know that thing where you ever feel that do you ever feel that like God's hand on your back I don't know. The more you listen, the more you pay attention to it, the more you'll feel it, you know. You have to believe in it. But I feel it. And I don't know. I read about the Cananesses, the Norbertine Cananesses out there in Techehapi, California. And I was like, that is such a cause, man, because it's such a tough time, you know what I mean, for moms. Getting up in the middle of the night like you've been through. Nine months of growing a human, pop the human out, and now the human needs you up every night. It's like when you should be healing your own, right? It's one of those things, man. Immediately I felt, I don't know how else to say it. Some of you out there who are not religious, you won't understand it, but I don't want to make excuses for my faith, right? I felt God pushing me towards them. You know what I mean? It was just like, James, you need to support these people. If you're going to put your money towards something, send some money to the Canaanesses who are waking up in the middle of the night and praying with the mothers all over the world. Praying for the health of their children, praying for the whole thing, the whole struggle of what it is to be a mom. Especially that first one, that first time. Yeah. Check them out. Seriously, check them out because they do a lot of cool stuff. Let me show off the mug one more time. The Norbertine Cannonesses. You search that up, you'll find them, okay? They make soap over there, right? Which I haven't got yet, but I'll give you a review on that because that's coming. It's like seven bucks a bar. I don't know if that's crazy to you or not, but back before soap was cool, before Dr. Squatch, like one of the things I should have done was started a soap company because... There was a time when it was like a guilty pleasure of mine. Back when body wash was the thing. I always knew that chemical body wash couldn't be good. You look at the back of it and it's like, I don't think I've ever seen anything with so many ingredients in it as body wash. You know what I mean? Like just the sheer volume of ingredients. Why is my face not focused? Focus on me. Not my hand, but me. There we go. Um, but just the sheer volume of ingredients on body wash always was like, this can't be, this can't be the best thing to put all over your body. Um, so, you know, like soap started to make a resurgence at, uh, farmer's markets. My wife would buy me like lavender soap bars and stuff like that. And I'd always be like, Oh my God, I just love soap. It's way better. Um, I like the way it makes you feel, it makes you feel clean. You know what I mean? It's ancient, right? And I was just really into it. I used to call it my guilty pleasure. I'd be like, yes, I love soap, man. I just love it. It's my guilty pleasure. Soap bars, legitimate, like high quality soap bars. And now it's just a huge thing. So I guess I should have started a soap company all them years ago. Who knows? I'm not a great businessman. You know what I mean? Cosmos Sauce is talking about what they're doing in France. He says, slather your whole body in gasoline. Right. Cosmo says he was baptized as a baby. He's not religious, but I think it's all energy and physics. Moms are amazing. I'll check them out. Check them out, man. I don't have a rosary because I'm not Catholic, but I'm going to buy a rosary from them guys because I do like the rosary. I got an app that teaches you how to pray the rosary. And I like it. It's a struggle. You know what I mean? It's kind of a pain. It's repetitive. It's kind of pain. But it's one of those things where it feels like this is good. Like this is a good thing I should be doing. You know what I mean? Pray the rosary. I want to read this one from Molly. Let's bring that back up. Let's shrink my big head down. No, no, smaller than that. No, smaller than that. There we go. How come I can't get it right? You know what I got to do? I got to go here and then I got to go here and then I got to go here. Boom. Now we're in business. Let's check this out. Will AI devalue the real world? What do you guys think? I think it's the best thing that could happen to the real world. I think it's probably the best thing that could happen to people's relationship to the real world, right? Trump, over here on the right, Trump says, sending $ 5, 000 payments will work out very easily. He's got to chill with that. He's really got to chill with that. My landlord got me a rosary from France. Oh, that's pretty cool. So let's see what Molly has to say. Or not Molly, I'm sorry. This is Jeffrey A. Tucker. Economic reality embeds many paradoxes. Unexpected outcome. Okay. seems to make more efficient use of existing resources. Intuition might suggest that the result will be less resource use, but reality often goes in the other direction. This is called the Jevons paradox, and it's based on a famous debate over the steam engine, which made coal power far more effective than ever before, leading to wide predictions that the coal industry would experience a dramatic pullback in production need. Economist Henry Jevons, Jevons, Said the opposite. The demand for coal will soar precisely because each unit will become more valuable in the task it serves. Hmm. I just realized we burned through 60% of my computer's battery already. I came here with a full computer. But apparently live streaming like this takes a lot of battery. No biggie. So we're talking true value here. The end result, the real thing becomes more valuable than ever. I think that's exactly what, you know, what we're going to see. Like I said, there is a limit to how much AI can be on the internet for people to stop going on the internet. Right? And here's the big one, right? Here's the big question. It's like, if the internet becomes completely upended by artificial intelligence and everything, then what's going to make generations of people go on the internet? In other words, what's going to make my grandkids go on the internet? Do you know what I mean? Yeah. And not to mention that their parents are going to have been the... I think my kids, maybe your kids, depending on your age, will probably be the internet age. Like the most... immersed in internet of all generations. And we'll look back and go like, yeah, that was an age. That was a time. There was a time when people spent all their time on the internet. And then AI came and, you know, the internet kind of got crappy. AI came, AI hacking came, right? AI bots and AI scams came hard. And then the internet died. It died because people didn't want to go on there anymore. I really think it'll be a tale, you know what I mean, to be told more than just like some kind of thing. All right. I want to see this America's seasonal emergencies article because that's interesting. I don't know if that's tongue in cheek. What crop is actually being harvested in election season? America's seasonal emergencies. For some reason, this doesn't want me to scroll. I like Molly Englehart. She always does a good job. Living on a farm makes you pay attention to seasons. There's calving season, kidding season, planting season, drought season, and harvest season. That is when a migrant caravan begins to walk north. Crime suddenly becomes an emergency. Foreign interference is discovered. Student debt is forgiven. Gasoline is released from government reserves. And damaging information about candidates appears just late enough that nobody has time to determine whether it's true. So this is election season, right? The new migrant caravan recently left Honduras, I've heard about this, and entered southern Mexico approximately six weeks before the 2026 midterm elections. It reportedly grew to between 400 and 600 people. It is still more than 1,000 miles from the nearest Texas border crossing. It has no clearly reported destination. It may be dissolved long before reaching us. It is interesting timing, Molly. This is why I like to read her, man. She makes you think. Four consecutive federal election cycles have included an election season caravan. Wow. That's interesting. That does not prove that an American political party is organizing them. Migrants may hurry because they believe immigration policy is about to change. That makes sense, right? It makes sense that if you're in Honduras and you're thinking, you know, with the right people in power, I'm going to get some checks and some, you know, place to live and all that, and I get to get out of Honduras on top of it. And maybe head on. Crime follows a similar pattern. Crime occurs every day, but every few election cycles, a handful of horrible cases are assembled into proof that the entire country is descending into lawlessness. Candidates run the same disturbing footage repeatedly until the voters feel the danger is outside their own front door. This part I don't agree with Molly on. I don't agree with that. crime is, it's the handling of sentencing right now that is a real problem. And it's a problem that is costing people their lives. And it's not an isolated incident around political seasons. You know what I mean? It's happening in a lot of places. It's a big deal. You know what I mean? Cosmo, you're a young man, 97. So she goes on to talk about a few of these different things, right? In August, 2022, Joe Biden announced a student loan cancellation program, potentially affecting more than 40 million borrowers in October, about a month before the midterms. This is interesting. It'd be a fun little chart to fill in every, every midterm election. Donald Trump is currently promising a $ 5, 000 Trump dividend to every adult American citizen. If Republicans retain both the house and Senate in November, uh, His message could hardly be clear. If the Republicans win, you win. With us, you get $ 5, 000. Terrible. That's just terrible. I mean, look, I certainly don't want the Democratic Socialists running the country or Congress, but that's a terrible thing to do. It's a terrible precedent to set. You know what I mean? It is every Roman and Franklinian warning that ever has existed, right? You don't want to buy the votes, dummy. There's something, you know, there's something in there. I don't know what it is. It's a by any means necessary mentality. Whenever you're in the by any means necessary mentality, things are going to go bad, right? Even the money's described as if it belongs to a politician handing it out. The presidents did not process it. Private treasury government cannot give us anything. Did not first take from us. See, I think what, I think what Trump's doing with the 5,000 is he's setting up a great opportunity to allow the Democrats to carry on with this tradition of sort of two-faced support the American people who are struggling, but at the same time don't, right? Support the American people who are struggling, but at the same time raise taxes, but at the same time, you know... Tell them you're going to put all these solar farms in, but at the same time, the cost of electricity never goes down. This has been building and building and building in the American people's eyes, right? There's only so many administrations and so many governors and so on that can say, we're going to cut costs for the working American. It never happens. And the Democrats continue to run on that. What Trump probably knows about this $ 5, 000 is that Congress isn't going to pass it. It's not going to be able to actually be sent out. So it becomes a win-win for him anyway. The Republicans win and they somehow push $ 5, 000 out to every American. It's going to help the economy. It's going to, you know what I mean? It's great. People who get it are going to be happy. If it gets stopped in Congress and he could just say, look, the Democrats won't even send you your $ 5, 000. They don't care about you. Just is. I mean, think about it, right? Okay, it's a cool article. I kind of like it. It's a good move. What do we got here? I don't know if I have time, guys, to get into the newspaper itself. Twenty five. Twenty three percent. We've been on for an hour. I got to do the due diligence for the for the beautiful epic time, so I got to at least bring her out. I got to at least bring her out. It's such an amazing paper. And reading the paper is so fun. It's so much better than getting all your news off the Internet. The other thing about it, too, is this paper is from October 6th, if you can believe it. I'm reading an octave. Can you imagine reading the news from three days ago? You're like a caveman, right? You're basically a caveman. Residents multi-year fight against Chinese battery plant. This is an interesting article, man. There's something in the brain health section. Benefits of using your left hand. Because this is a legitimate newspaper. It's got all the sections, you know, home, body and wisdom, truth, tradition, and hope. It's a great paper. Opinion section. Oh, look at this. What is this? This is a great image here, man. I've gone back to fourth grade. Look at this picture. What a time to be alive. Sitting on a train and listening to a gaggle of Gen Z. This is Jeffrey Tucker again. life's most painful experience is one of the, the vocabulary is so limited as to be unfavorably compared with that of a primitive tribe. The inability to form a basic sentence is alarming. The relentless use of like and you know and whatever is painful to the ears. I'm no fan of AirPods or headphones, but they're essential on these occasions. So you have a well-read, well-educated, well-written man in Jeffrey A. Tucker and he's talking about, you know, just suffering the youth. My son, so far as it was in your power, you have done a greater harm to the public than to the owner of the stones. I do verily believe, Benjamin, that almost all the public and private misery of mankind arises from neglect of this great truth that evil can produce only evil, that good ends must be wrought by good means, which is the issue with the 5,000. The story concludes to the end of his life. Ben Franklin never forgot his conversation with his father. And we have reason to suppose that in the most of his public and private career, he sought to act upon the principles which that good and wise man taught him. Can you believe that this is from a fourth grade book? Something written to instruct a 10-year-old child. The point here is absolutely profound and philosophically sophisticated. It pertains to our own time. Don't you agree? This all came from Franklin complaining to his father about... Where is it at? His father pointed out that those stones did not belong to him but to the farmer. He was not within his rights to move them even if he believed that the wharf would have benefited the public. Yeah. Yeah. The short-term, what I call the 100-year amnesia is tremendous in our country. Melatonin may ease chronic pain as effectively as some medications. A few words of encouragement to homeschoolers recall what's truly important. The cause that destroyed republics, an exhaustive analysis of American government through the lens of history. That's a whole episode in and of itself, right? I don't know. It's like 50 bucks for three months or something. You get a paper every week. They're not a sponsor. Whatever. It's nice. You know what I mean? It's a nice thing. So look, guys, if you enjoyed this, then make sure you follow. We'll do a longer stream more often now that we're on all these different platforms. And we are ripping off some short streams for dirt cheap and free prep series that we're working on. We have a lot of great hosts here at PBN.

It's been fun today. Thank you. I needed this. I needed a good day to riff. You know what I mean? I've had guests this week. I've had shows that were kind of built around a singular topic. While those are good and important, I don't know. they beat your brain to death a little bit. You know what I mean? Your brain, you start feeling like regimented to a degree that's not good for a creative mind. Um, you could find me over at Substack too. I do a Substack called Surviving America. If you're into reading, uh, and I'm about to publish a poem over there called October is the Witch. And I think if you're into reading and poetry, you'll, You'll enjoy October is the Witch. Actually, the poem itself is done, but I can't find the right picture to match up with it. So I think this weekend I'm going to make one out of charcoal myself. It's a weird metaphorical sort of smash up or mash up of the season of October and sort of a seductive but evil witch. I don't know. These ideas just They hit you sometimes and you got to bring them to life. Just what it is. So thank you guys for everything. Visit PrepperBroadcasting.com if you want more.
