ONLY Three Days Left to Join the Continuity!

[00:00:19] PBN Family, you have just three days to prepare yourself for the continuity. You have just three days to get signed up for membership if you'd like to join our first meeting of the continuity, the new continuity. If you'd like to be a part of the ultimate doomsday thought experiment, the ultimate brainstorming of the continuity of laws and law and order and services,

[00:00:46] and such, how and what it looks like to really kickstart a world or kickstart a community, kickstart a city, those kinds of things. And if you really want to hear from what I'm most excited about is to hear from the depth of knowledge of those who are going to join us. And every time we do a continuity, you're going to walk away with a crisis preparedness worksheet.

[00:01:17] That you can stow away for just such a situation. It's not the end-all be-all in terms of being prepared for something like that, but it's a lot more than the average person has, I can promise you that. So Monday night, 10 p.m. Eastern, following the show. The Monday night show. Stephen Menking. The one and the only Stephen Menking will be on. Monday's going to be an amazing day.

[00:01:45] The one and only Stephen Menking will be on. I can't say enough about Stephen Menking. You know, I just can't. There are people who come into your life. They come in and they have such a profound effect. And Stephen Menking, what can I say? How can I best phrase it? I've said it a million ways. Stephen Menking stood at the doorway to God.

[00:02:11] And, you know, he just, he didn't fervently sort of like gesture for me to come in. It was almost like he walked in and walked out all the time. And then would talk to me after. Like he was in and out of the doorway. And he would come back and he would talk to me. But he wouldn't talk to me like a preacher.

[00:02:35] And he wouldn't talk to me like a, you know, somebody who's like overly, almost annoyingly religious or something like that. But he really did build the bridge. You know, I was kind of like making my way over. You know what I mean? But he really did build the bridge. And, you know, people say it all the time.

[00:03:00] They always say like, the simplest way to put it. Like magic things happen. The closer you get to God. And it's just, that's the magic things have happened to me. You know, there are some things that have happened in my life, not related to success or money or, you know, those kind of weird measurables. But things have happened in my life that I never thought could happen. And direct correlation.

[00:03:29] Directly related to proximity to God. Real battles, you know, real internal battles that I just thought would be the Jupiter storm of my life. You know what I mean? Just things I would fight forever. And, yeah. Gone. So we move from Stephen Menking, again, into the continuity. Right after the show, 10 p.m.

[00:03:57] Those of you who are members, all you have to do is go down to the bottom of pbnfamily.com. You'll see the big, beautiful insignia of the continuity. And you'll see a link. And it says, get your crisis preparedness worksheet and meet link. And when you click that link, it's going to take you to a very simple page. Join the meeting. And download your crisis worksheet. Now, you can download the crisis worksheet anytime you want. You can do it right now and look it over. You know what I mean?

[00:04:26] Have fun. It's awesome. But, yeah, man. I'm excited. I'm excited that this continuity thing's been along. I'm not going to go on and on about it because I have been talking about it. But suffice it to say, hosts and listeners will be meeting. I don't know what the crisis is yet. That's part of the fun. Right? That's going to be part of the fun. We'll see. We will. We will.

[00:04:54] I will unveil that process, too, at the continuity meeting. But, yeah. If this is your thing, like, if you have a lot to offer or you're excited about this or you've been looking for, like, a weekly or a monthly meeting, rather, with like-minded individuals, like, we're going to have some fun. There's no doubt about it. So get on board. You got three days in counting to get yourself signed up for membership.

[00:05:23] And remember, membership is not a money issue. It's a will-to-do issue. Truly. It's not. I've made it such. In other words, you can hop on and join for the full year for $60. You can hop on and join for life. Now, we have a lifetime link to membership. Up there on pbnfamily.com. Right? For $250 and one-time payment, never again.

[00:05:53] Everything that we do, you get access to. It's actually insane. It's an insane steal. But if you hear all that and you're like, dude, I don't got $60 to blow on your little party. I don't have $250 to blow on your little prepper experiment at pbnfamily.com. Fine. That's fine. You go to start your membership. At pbnfamily.com. And there's a section in there. It says money tight? Question mark. Click the link below that.

[00:06:22] You get in for $5 a month. And I don't know anybody in my life that can't swing $5 a month. Literally. I'm just being honest. I literally don't know a single person. I don't know if I've ever run into a single person. You talk to the bum on the corner. That dude rakes in $5 every what? How many cars does it take for a bum to get $5? And he's in for the month. So just wrap your head around that.

[00:06:52] You know what I mean? We're in an age where $5, I don't even know what I would do with $5 if I had $5. I can't even buy a chicken sandwich for $5. I need tax money. You know what I mean? That's why. So it is what it is. If you're into it. I guess what I'm getting at is not to badger you about becoming a member. What's much more important to me is if you're on the fence about it. Like if you're like, I got these bills. I got this thing. I want to put money away for this. It's $5 a month. Do you know what I mean?

[00:07:20] You can save $5 every month for the rest of your life. And I don't know what you're going to put away that's going to be substantial. So think it over. Three days left of continuity. I hope you're there. I can't wait to see you if you are there. And it's going to be a blast. Okay? That said, today's sponsor. Today's sponsor of the podcast. The Prepper's Medical Handbook.

[00:07:49] And I'm going to give you guys another reason to visit pbnfamily.com. Because we sell the Prepper's Medical Handbook over there. Well, I don't really sell it. It's just a link to Amazon. But it is an incredible book that I think the majority of the Prepper Broadcasting Network hosts own. But what's cooler than just getting the book is if you go to pbnfamily.com, there's a Build Your Medical Cash link in the nav bar.

[00:08:46] Okay? They're all listed here individually. Basically, every over-the-counter item that shows up in the Prepper's Medical Handbook is available for sale and linked right here at pbnfamily.com. So, you get the book. And you can basically build out a first aid kit from the book. And you build it out yourself.

[00:09:14] And, of course, you know, you add to it whatever you want. Cat Gen 7 tourniquet. Aspirin. 3 milliliter syringes. Bicycotal tablets. Disposable skin stapler. Oral thermometer. Portable aqua. Mylar blanket. Triangle bandage. Steri strips. Petroleum jelly. Chest seals. Tegaderm. Waterproof. Breathable dressing. Irrigation syringes. Right? All kinds of stuff. All kinds of stuff that you should have.

[00:09:43] All kinds of stuff that shows up in that book. It's so important because if you're going to use the book to treat someone in your family, you want to be able to say, oh, yeah, it says go grab the Spanko Bandage. Okay, I'm going to go grab this. I know I have it because I bought. Right? Go grab the Lanacane. All right, let me go grab the Lanacane. Again, all this stuff over-the-counter. All right, it's literally Amazon links. He sent me all the links.

[00:10:14] Like, literally Amazon links. Amazing. I don't know. It's just an amazing, underutilized, you know, not talked about enough resource that was created by our amazing sponsor, Dr. William W. Forgey, author of the Prepper's Medical Handbook. And I don't know, you know. It's a Friday. I'm sipping coffee. I'm in a Mickey Mouse hoodie. It's wonderful. It's 640 in the morning. It's good to be alive. You know what I mean?

[00:10:46] This preparedness and survival infrastructure that we've built here at PBN, it's magnificent. Okay? That's what it is. I don't know if you want to hear that or not. I don't know if you like that, you know. But who else is going to say it? You know what I'm saying? Who else is going to go out of their way to figure out what PBN really is and then give the praise? I mean, a lot of listeners out there give us praise.

[00:11:15] A lot of listeners give us amazing praise. And you guys do it in probably the best way. It's almost always consistent. It's always sort of like, this is what we've done. This is what my family has done. I started listening X amount of months or years ago and now we are this, this, this, and this. And dude, it's everything. Everything. That's everything. You know what I mean? That's everything. That is what it is.

[00:11:45] That is what it is. But the, uh, there's still a lot of things we have in the chamber. A lot of plans. A lot of things we have scheduled. A lot of things we have off in the distance. It's just, we don't stop. You know, years ago I used to call us the Relentless Prepper Broadcasting Network. And we still are. You know, we still are the Relentless. Prepper Broadcasting Network. What else?

[00:12:13] What else shall we talk about on our Friday moment together? 12 minutes into the podcast. It's a wonderful audio only podcast. Friday. Can I tell you how much I love the Friday audio podcast? Monday I'm excited. Monday I'm excited to get back. I'm going to get on camera and do this video podcast thing. And it's great. You know, and the chat's there and we're having a blast. And it's live. And it's fun. And it's cool. By Wednesday I'm done with the video. By Wednesday I'm like, oh my god, Jesus.

[00:12:42] I don't want to get back on here and do video. I don't want to make sure. What I got? A shirt am I wearing? How's the background? The lighting? Is everything right? I got to manage. Yeah. So by Friday it's like back to the real thing. Back to the way it's been. Right? Back to just being me, just doing me through the audio podcast. It's beautiful. It is a beautiful medium. I think that video is a bit overrated.

[00:13:11] I really do. I think that video is overrated. And not only is video overrated, the biggest problem with video is it keeps you stationary. That's the biggest issue. Right? When you do video, you got to sit and watch the video. I mean, I listen to a lot of video stuff, but the idea is, right? Like, the idea of the video is just that.

[00:13:40] So, I don't know. To me, to me there's something about it. There's something about the old audio. I don't know if it's because I grew up in vehicles, driving with my parents' places, listening, and we didn't have the ability to say, like, let me use your phone, Dad, or put the internet on, Dad, so I can play a video game back here, or give me my iPhone so I can, you know, whatever. We didn't have those options. You just had to sit.

[00:14:07] You know, and sometimes you get lucky and you hear, like, something good on the radio. I can't talk to you guys about that stuff, but there's some cool stuff that I'm doing on the writing side. Interesting, cool stuff. But it's to be released at a much later time, probably, and I'm not the guy who runs the show over there, so I can't really. Suffice it to say, there's a lot of cool things coming in that end of the world, too, and into the spectrum.

[00:14:37] I don't know. You know, wars and rumors of wars. That's the age we're living in right now, right? Wars and rumors of wars. The UK plans to put its Dragonfire laser weapon on four of its warships. It's like I've been saying, you know, Europe's finally stepping up and becoming a real nation, real collection of nations with real militaries. Hallelujah. It's a good thing. It's a good thing. You know, my big takeaways from the week are, you know, nations need militaries.

[00:15:08] It's a huge takeaway. The other big takeaway is just how important you are out there. Like, never mistake how important you are. Because if you are truly, like, middle class, which I have to imagine the vast majority is, even lower through upper middle class, if you are of that range, and it's not to denote, or it's not to, not to know,

[00:15:36] it's not to discount anybody else, but at the end of the day, I'm going to say, I'm going to say what it is. The middle class is the most important. The destitute, you know, they need help. That is what it is. The uber rich, they'll always be there. Both of those classes will always be there. There'll always be somebody that comes scoop up all the money, and there'll always be somebody, you know, destitute in the streets.

[00:16:02] For the longest time, for really all of time, there's been kings and peasants. Do you know what I mean? There's been rulers and serfs. This thing that's going on, this middle class experiment that's like, what, is it 200 years old? Not even. It's a middle class experiment. You are an experiment.

[00:16:30] And I think the biggest part of the experiment is, you know, how much grit do you got? To stay relevant. To exist. Because what's happening, everything that happens, every advance in technology and science, almost, is in some way looking to put a pinhole in the middle class. Everything that hits a society hits the middle class.

[00:17:01] And it tries to shrink it. Because the natural order, it's not the natural order. The natural order is, AI rolls in, takes all the jobs, the top tier, you know, investors and inventors, take all the money and all the profits by automating everything. The most rich people get even richer, you know, by having, Bezos by saying, you know, I don't employ any human beings anymore. What's the point? You know what I mean? And then the peasant class returns

[00:17:31] and the middle class disappears. Because the middle class isn't supposed to even be there. But we are. We are. We are and we fight to be here. And you have to understand that if you were born 500 years ago, you wouldn't even know what that word means. You know what I mean? Middle class wouldn't be a thing. It'd be rulers and rich folk and then the rest. But here we are.

[00:18:00] We created an entire world and our parents, their parents, largely. We've created a world that's so incredible that a person, that any person, every person, especially if you're American, gets to wake up and say like, I wonder what my life will be like. I wonder what, and they get to do things like I would like to be this. I would like to live in this kind of house. I would like to drive this kind of car. I would like to go to Disney World

[00:18:30] with my family on vacation. I would like to grow up and be this kind of person, do these kinds of things. And it's not just a longing that dissipates into the rest of the day and back to the farm work. It's a North Star. We get to set a North Star and chase that dream down and make great strides and maybe we fall short but we get to chase that dream down and make great strides and have successes

[00:18:59] and so on and so forth. And at the end of a hard week, right, when you've had all the problems a person can have, when you've had all the, you know, all the frustrations that come up with commuting to work and dealing with bosses and dealing with employees and managing and managers and all that kind of stuff and you come home and the issues with home life and all that, whatever. Like at the end of a tiring week,

[00:19:28] you have to understand that you're a part of this middle class that is, it doesn't make sense. You know what I mean? It's so incredible, it doesn't even make sense. It's like innocent until proven guilty. It doesn't make sense. These things shouldn't exist. But for the will of the people, they exist. Right? But for the will of the people,

[00:19:58] these things exist. This middle class exists because we wake up and we go do and we go do things and we raise up generations to follow who do great things in the world. All signs point to the fact that this middle class should be obliterated and it should go back to the rich and the rulers and the peasant classes. A lot of times,

[00:20:28] I, the older I get, the more I think about this too. I don't know if that's a good thing or not, but a lot of times I think to myself, every generation must prepare for war. Mentally, physically. Because you're going to fight a war one way or another. You know, one of the things that, what's his name, Chuck Palahuanuk,

[00:20:55] the author of Fight Club got really wrong. Was, he lied to the reader through Tyler Durden and told the reader that their generation has no great war. It's a really cool line. It's a really cool, it's a really cool, you know, part of the movie, part of the book. that our generation has no great war,

[00:21:25] our generation has no great depression. Every generation has a great war. Everyone. There's a war being fought right now with the upcoming generation in literal technology. It's a war. They're fighting a war for their lives. Right? You're their reinforcements. Get off the phone. Get off the game. Go outside. Right? It's a war.

[00:21:55] You're going to get married one day, maybe you are married, whatever it is, you're going to have a war to fight, whatever it is. Maybe it's a brother-in-law, sister-in-law, circumstance, illness, injury, mother, father-in-law, whatever situation it is. You have to bring the power. You have to bring the will, the firepower, the resources, the reinforcements. Because life is a war. Love is a battlefield.

[00:22:24] And I've been thinking about that a lot, the idea that there's any generation that ever will exist that gets to sit on, rest on their laurels. It's just a lie. And I want you to understand this is not a bad thing. You want a war. You don't want a life without purpose, without struggle. It's boring. So, you made it through another week, PBN family. You know? For the vast majority of you out there listening, you fall somewhere in the middle class. And you've made it through.

[00:22:54] We've survived another week here. We have raised our hands to the sky and said we exist. And, you know, the powerful play, what is the line? The powerful play goes on. And you get to contribute a verse. What will your verse be, PBN family? Talk soon. And you're going to
