PBN Daily News: Gas Shortage, Omelets, Indian Pharma to the Rescue?

[00:00:04] You're listening here to PBN. Your path back to stability here. Good day, PBN family. It is Tuesday. James Walton here in Trepid, Commander at the Prepper Broadcasting Network, bringing you PBN Daily News. You know the deal. This is your path back to stability in these seemingly unstable times.

[00:00:49] Big announcement up front. We might do several announcements. We have a lot going on all the time. There's only one announcer. It's me, alright? I try to give everybody their time in the sun because we've got big people doing big things all the time here at PBN.

[00:01:05] It's a wonderful group. Please dig into the Prepper Broadcasting Network. You know what I mean? Join the chats. Become a member. Do all the things. Go to pbnfamily.com. Join the newsletter.

[00:01:19] Do all the stuff, man. This idea of an isolated and lonely epidemic racing through the United States of America and people who are concerned and nervous about the future of the nation. And elections and wars and so like... I'm right here, you know? Everybody.

[00:01:42] We've got legions behind us, you know? Incredible people. Dig in deep. I know it's fun to watch Joe Rogan and do all that kind of stuff. But I say it time and time again, man. Prepping will alleviate anxiety.

[00:01:59] Not listening to me talk about it. Not listening to one of the hosts talk about it, but actually doing it. You will literally alleviate anxiety out of your life. Stephen Menking, the man behind Reliance. For those of you who haven't listened to Reliance,

[00:02:15] it doesn't matter if you're religious or not, listen to Reliance. You can go to the prepabroadcasting.com website and search Reliance. The full catalog of Reliance shows will come up and you can listen to Stephen Menking.

[00:02:29] He's coming on I Am Liberty Wednesday night, 9pm Eastern, to talk about gold and silver and finance and probably God and probably culture and those kinds of things. This is going to be a great week for me. You've got to understand.

[00:02:44] I had an hour-plus conversation with Dave Jones, the NBC guy. I got caught up with him. That was great. He is my older brother from another mother. Dave Jones, we've had a lot of fun in life. And Stephen Menking is largely my spiritual leader, man.

[00:03:02] That's who that guy is to me at the highest level. He's the guy who opened the door for me. Him and one of his allies. Oh God, can't think of his name. It's been too many years. He and his ally, the guy who introduced me to Stephen Menking,

[00:03:27] was another guy I had long conversations about God and Jesus about years and years ago. And ever since, you know, Stephen's kind of been holding my hand and opening doors for me in terms of like, you know, open up to him.

[00:03:44] The rigors of the religion are not as important as his forgiveness for you. And I can, you know, how certain people come along in life, you're indebted to them forever. Right? There's no way out.

[00:04:02] I try to remind and any man out there with children should remind their wives that same thing. You know, it's like, doesn't matter what we do. How can you ever pay off the debt of the children that your wife have given you? You're forever indebted.

[00:04:21] That's why I hate when I hear people say, we got pregnant. No, we did not get pregnant. She got pregnant. She dealt with that. She created that. You know what I mean? You just played around and got involved in the fun part. And you know, obviously supported her.

[00:04:40] But what's all this wee business? Hey, I got some news for you that I would like to explore more, but I think is very important and is just a little as I was gathering intel for today's One Threat One solution,

[00:04:56] I came across this little, no, just a little blurb. You know what? Maybe I'll search it up. Let's search it up real quick. Okay, the freedom march begins today. Get out and run, lift walk hike canoe bike, whatever you do. You can even lift weights.

[00:05:15] You're not going to get a link to this thing until I do an activity. So I might have to do an early, you know, like a mid morning run. And then I'll get you the link through our email. Like I'll send an email blast out again, pbnfamily.com.

[00:05:31] I'll send you the newsletter. Why aren't you signed up for the newsletter? I don't help people. You see, the newsletter is solution only, just so you know if you're out there listening to me and you're like, I don't want any more bad news. We don't do news.

[00:05:44] The newsletter is void of news. The newsletter is solution based and sponsor based fundamentally. It's fundamentally what the newsletter is. You get an EPC every week, election preparedness campaign, election preparedness advice every week. Right?

[00:06:04] You get a list of the best shows of the week so you can go back and listen to them if you want to. You'll get our three survival tips. Wilderness, urban survival tactical. Right?

[00:06:16] And then you get a slew of other information about discounts and deals and stuff from our great sponsors. I don't know. It's a no brainer to me. It's a no brainer to me and it never comes with bad news.

[00:06:31] A lot of newsletters come with terrible news stories that just drive you crazy. So let's talk about this good news before we get into one-threat-one solution. At least it looks good on the face of it.

[00:06:43] The Indian pharmaceutical industry is preparing to address drug shortages in the U.S. The sector is reportedly gearing up to ensure that essential medications remain available despite ongoing supply chain issues. I want you to think about that, man. That's a thing. This is a thing.

[00:07:05] Let's see if I can find gearing up American shortages. Okay, let's look at that. Business today. How old is this article? You've got to get up-to-date stuff. 28 days ago. Come on now. That ain't cut. 27 days ago, 29 days ago.

[00:07:39] I think this one at the top here might be the one. Let's see. Yeah, April 30th. Not too bad. Pretty far away though. Just hearing about it now. Record U.S. drug shortage are positive for Indian pharma companies.

[00:07:56] Fractures in supply chain compounded by stringent regulatory oversight is causing ripples in generic drug manufacturers. Production capacity in the U.S. This is huge news, guys. India and China, they're allies but they're also fighting each other on the border. So do with that what you will.

[00:08:14] To some degree, they're allies. But to some degree, they're also enemies. Whatever. In light of elevated levels of active drug shortages in the United States, India pharmaceutical companies such as Aurobindo, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries and Gland Pharma are projected to make significant strides.

[00:08:32] Analysts from trading platform IIFL securities have said. So this is a partnership that is building or being built at the moment, you know? Let's see what the... Let's see if my co-pilot over at Microsoft says anything interesting worth noting.

[00:08:55] While Biden administration has proposed a roadmap to address the market issues, Indian companies face their own challenges including increased plan inspections by the U.S. FDA and supply chain disruptions particularly for active pharmaceutical ingredients, key starting material supplies from China.

[00:09:11] Overall the current drug shortage in the U.S. So that's important. That's important. I came from AI by the way. But that's an important little thing. So supply chain disruptions still are affecting active pharmaceutical ingredients and key starting material supplies from China.

[00:09:34] So those key materials are still coming from China. The good thing is though, if India gets into this, if the Indian pharmaceuticals get into this and they start making U.S. money, right? Selling to U.S. doctors and things like that,

[00:09:49] then you know they're eventually going to say, because the Indian folk man they're smart, they're eventually going to say, you know, why are we using China as a middleman for these ingredients? And that's what we want. I mean look, that's what we want. Everything you can do,

[00:10:10] everything you can do to pull industry from the Chinese that we depend on and put it either in our hands, Mexican hands if we can get that situation fixed or you know India places like that anywhere outside of China.

[00:10:23] So we can't have your mortal enemy on the face of the planet making your medicine, right? It's like hiring someone from Hamas to be your personal chef. You know what I'm saying? Come on in, cook me some pork. You know what I mean?

[00:10:41] It's only going to last so long. You're going to get killed, poisoned, you know? It's not going to work. So it's good news. You know, not every day has to be doom and gloom. I hope you listened to last night's show with Dave and I.

[00:10:54] A lot of good information in there. We talked a lot about death, but we talked a lot about life as well. And yeah man, check that one out. Okay, check that one out. I just got one of those eerie feelings that my mic is on mute.

[00:11:09] Thank heavens it's not. Oh God, it's Tuesday guys. Thank you for this man. I mean that. Thank you. I just got that weird feeling. I just got that weird overwhelming feeling about like you're doing life. This is it. You're in it. You're talking to your audience.

[00:11:27] You have built an audience. You know, all this stuff feels good. Wow. Thank you. Let's get into One Threat, One Solution. We're talking Gassahaw today on One Threat, One Solution. Let's do it! Alright, PBN Family.

[00:11:59] Republicans have cautioned President Biden against utilizing the strategic petroleum reserve as a potential instrument amid increasing summer gas prices. They argue that using the SPR in this manner could compromise national security. Joe Biden thinks that we can print gas the same way we print dollars I think.

[00:12:19] I think he has that in his head. I think there's something going on. There's a disconnect.

[00:12:24] There's a chocolate chip ice cream disconnect in that brain of his and he's thinking we can just use that SPR up the same way we use up, you know, the same way we print trillions of dollars. Fine. No big deal.

[00:12:37] Either that or you know, the big question in all this is, is the Biden administration lost and confused and inept and ineffective? Or are they the enemy? Right? Isn't that it? You have to look at the moves and the decisions that they make and ask those questions.

[00:12:56] That's the question. Are they compromised or are they just completely inept? You know, like so dug into their religion of wokeism and equality and save the planet and you know, that religion, whatever we want to call that, we need to come up with a name for that religion.

[00:13:14] Because it's an encompassing religion, right? It's a DEI woke save the planet, you know, white people suck religion. Religion, you know, and they're either so dogmatic that they will just make bad decision after bad decision or they're captured. They're compromised.

[00:13:40] And Joe Biden's just saying, you know, this is the part of the game. We use up the strategic petroleum reserve so that when China makes their move we have issues getting fuel and we can't work the way that we need to work as a military. That's it.

[00:13:55] You know, you can look at almost every crazy thing this dude has done. Well, which just keep print and print and print and devalue the currency so that the US dollar can't get what it normally gets.

[00:14:06] And if war comes or struggles come, we can't, you know, the buying power of the US dollars died off. Or we need to be equal. We shouldn't be such a dominant empire on the world stage. So we'll just devalue the currency so we fit in with everybody else.

[00:14:21] Yay, equality, equality. No food, no fuel. Doesn't it feel good to be equal? And we can talk about that, you know. Gasoline prices are increasing as the summer driving season commences. This is from the gray man brief by the way.

[00:14:40] The increased demand for fuel coupled with supply constraints has led to higher prices at the pump. The trend is expected to continue throughout the summer affecting consumers worldwide.

[00:14:50] Now, the funny thing about that is I remember not long ago reading a big bunch of news about Biden and gasoline and oh my God he's doing incredible. So what's happening? What's happening? May 21, Biden to release one million barrels of gasoline in bid to lower prices.

[00:15:16] Biden lowing gasoline prices. No, Biden drilling. You know he did come out the other day and say, wow listen to this from the Tampa Free Press 21 minutes ago. Pennsylvania fracking just might hold the key to realizing Biden's EV dreams.

[00:15:40] That's a complicated headline. What the hell does that mean? Here you go, The Washington Times. Biden burned by critics for tapping gasoline reserve to lower prices cover up anti-energy agenda. Oh maybe I was wrong, maybe I read the headline wrong.

[00:16:01] Biden administration bans drilling in nearly half of Alaska. That seems like a bad move. Biden said he would stop drilling then reality hit. Okay, let me get out of this rabbit hole here. Let me get out of this rabbit hole here. So what's to come? What's to come?

[00:16:24] Well we can look to our friends in the south, not south in the US but even further south. In Tijuana, Mexico nearly half of the gas stations have shut down due to a gasoline shortage.

[00:16:39] This shortage is causing significant disruptions for residents and travelers who rely on these gas stations for fuel. So you need a solution right? You need a one threat, one solution.

[00:16:52] I'm going to talk to you about storing gasoline and rotating gasoline but I want to read to you something from my book No Grid Survival Projects. But I got to find it first because what we have in that book apart from like almost every one threat, one solution,

[00:17:16] some form of the solution fits inside of or can be found inside of this book. This book is so comprehensive with a variety of things.

[00:17:26] How to make biofuel at home, how to make a mini root cellar, that's a really cool bill but that's not what I'm looking for. How to build storage, DIY smokehouse, EMP proof cloth, where is it?

[00:17:44] Natural remedies, you know what I guess I have to flip through the back and just look for gas cans. Because I can't find it.

[00:17:51] If you don't have some sort of a system for rotating gas, if you don't have stay bill, if you don't have these things sort of in your planning, now's the time to figure it out. Now's the time to put a plan together.

[00:18:08] Dave Jones, the NBC guy, keeps 80 gallons of gas on hand. I don't keep quite as much. How to build a fuel storage and how to preserve it? Yeah, this is a good modern society heavily dependent on fossil fuels, fuel storage containers, how much fuel to store,

[00:18:30] preserving gasoline and diesel gasoline begins to break down rapidly after as little as 30 days. It's got fuel stabilizers, it's got information on rotating your fuel stores, building your long term fuel storage. Jerry can stay bill talks about how to create your own system.

[00:18:49] Michael Klein talks about a great month to month system. And I think it's a great system. I really do. It takes 12 or six. You could probably get away with six even if you didn't want to do 12.

[00:19:06] But it takes 12 gas cans, each labeled with masking tape in a month. Okay, so then the storage of that gasoline tells you what month you've got it, right? What month you filled that thing up and then naturally when to use it.

[00:19:27] So if I had my June gas can, I would already have used... So okay, let's go with May, right? I had my May gas can storage.

[00:19:41] The end of the month, the goal is to utilize that gas knowing good and well that you have June all the way to the next year full. And you do that. You can also increase the time, right?

[00:19:54] You could say like, by June I want to use all my April gas. I'll keep the May gas because it's only a month old. And then boom, boom, boom. You work your way around every month.

[00:20:08] And of course the important thing is I use the April gas, use it all up, put it in a generator, put it in a car, whatever you do with it. And then refill it, right? Then you refill it, boom and go. Keep going.

[00:20:24] So yeah, and it puts you in a position where you can know exactly how old the gas is. If you put stable in it then you can know that, alright, I just finished May.

[00:20:36] And that gas I got last May so now I need to use that up because it's a year old, right? I might have confused you with the April talk because I was confused. But that's why it's important to have a system of your own.

[00:20:52] You know what I mean? But the Michael Klein system, the 12 gas can system he's talked about in his shows in the past, that's that system and it's a great idea. Because at the very least you can know this gas has been labeled at this time.

[00:21:03] It was filled up on this month and it's a year old now I have to use it. But having 12 cans means you always have like years worth of fuel if you manage it like that.

[00:21:13] If you use the old and refill then you always have not 12 months worth of gas but you have 12 containers of gas. Whatever size you decide on is up to you, right?

[00:21:25] You know, or you can just put gas in plastic bags like they did when Colonial Gas was hacked. Do you remember? Do you remember the people putting gas in 5 gallon buckets and trash cans and plastic bags? That was my favorite.

[00:21:48] When you see a population truly lose their mind. It's always fun. It's always fun when you see a population truly realize just how out of touch they are and in the whole nine. Alright, let's get into SHTF Chef. We're talking breakfast today.

[00:22:05] Looks like there's some turbulence up ahead. To continue, found us. You are the prepper broadcasting network. You are PATH. Alright folks we're talking Western omelette today running the mill. Either you know it or you don't know it.

[00:22:29] I thought I'd talk to you today about egg cookery and about my breakfast. Because I got some good ham in the fridge and I thought to myself, you know one of my favorite omelettes of all is the good old Western omelette.

[00:22:42] But commonly you go to a diner, you order Western omelette, you get you know American or cheddar cheese. You get peppers, onions, you get diced ham. Great. It's just phenomenal. It's one of the best. For me, I like to sub the green pepper with the jalapeno pepper diced.

[00:23:07] So you begin with the ham. You're heating the ham up in the pan. Maybe a little butter. Everything in egg cookery I like to primarily use butter.

[00:23:21] Very rare. Maybe if I'm doing like a frittata with shrimp or chicken or something like that with parsley and garlic and red chili flakes, I might do an olive oil. But for the most part, bacon fat or oil, I mean or butter for egg cookery.

[00:23:40] The French are the best at cooking eggs and they cook everything in butter. I think it's, they just go well together. And isn't that weird that they go well together? Like who set that up?

[00:23:52] All the things right that could have wound up working together on a farm and things along those lines. It's so weird that eggs and butter go so well together. It's not like cows and chickens had been roaming the earth together forever.

[00:24:08] And been like your babies and my milk whisked at a tremendous rate would really taste good. You know what I mean? So you're going to saute up your diced ham. I like to get it a little crispy. Add in your onions and your diced jalapenos.

[00:24:25] This is where knife skills come into play. Remember we talked about knife skills a couple weeks ago? You want your ham, peppers, onions to be diced around the same size. This is the key. You know what I mean? To making this really a really good time.

[00:24:43] So you, same thing, saute your onions, saute your peppers. Spread them around the pan. You know, four eggs whisked into the pan. And the pan has to be on medium low. You know, once you get the translucent look on the onion,

[00:25:00] that's when you got to take the pan off the heat, turn the pan down to medium low heat. You know, you should never be really cooking eggs on medium high heat or high heat. It's just ruining everything. So medium low heat boom.

[00:25:19] If you want to expedite the process or whatever, if you're really into like an omelet that's well done, you don't want any gooeyness, then you can put a lid on top of your pan. That's a pretty cool little method. And it'll cook it from both sides.

[00:25:35] It cooks it pretty quickly with steam. Not my cup of tea. I don't mind a little goo in my omelet. But anyway, I also like to use a nice wide pan because I like a thin omelet.

[00:25:45] You know, I don't like a big thick omelet that folds over in half. I like a thin omelet and I use a lot of eggs so I use a nice wide pan. Maybe three to four slices of cheese.

[00:25:56] Today I'm going to use Munster cheese and my omelets can be unbelievable. Right? Wait for that to melt a bit. And then I don't know how you do it, but I do the three fold.

[00:26:08] Right? So I'll fold the right side in half and the left side in half. I like to flip the omelet over to the fold side and take it all off the heat and let it sit.

[00:26:19] The thing about egg cookery is time off the heat, the eggs are still cooking. You know? So you don't have to cook them to complete doneness over a stove. Like your pan has more than enough heat in it to finish your eggs

[00:26:33] and to melt your cheese and do all those things. And then enjoy. You know what I mean? Enjoy. I was going to read you guys, which I guess I can still.

[00:26:47] I was talking about rugby chapel yesterday when we were talking about men and tides, the tides of men. And I thought maybe that might be too long but we can read this short stanza. It's not super short but it's important.

[00:27:03] This by Matthew Arnold from the unbelievable Victorian poetry book, 10 major poets by Martin. Published by Random House. It's an old book. It's my second copy I purchased because I love it so much. Rugby Chapel. This is line 58. It's a very long poem.

[00:27:29] I've never even read the whole poem. I need to sit down and read the whole thing because it's so good. It's, you know, 200 plus lines. What is the course of the life of mortal men on earth?

[00:27:41] Most men eddy about here and there, eat and drink, chatter and love and hate, gather and squander, are raised aloft or hurled in the dust, striving blindly achieving nothing. And then they die. Perish. And no one asks who or what they have been.

[00:28:03] More than he asks what waves in the moonlit solitudes mild of the midmost ocean have swelled, foamed for a moment and gone. PBM Family that is the course of the life of mortal men for the most part. You may be happy with that. No if you're not.

[00:28:27] It's time to get your nose to the grindstone. You know what I mean? Go to pbnfamily.com, guys get involved. Listen. Enjoying the live chat. Sign up for the newsletter. Become a member. Pbnfamily.com. It is, uh, don't do this thing alone. You know? Silly.

[00:28:49] Don't do it alone. I'll talk to you guys soon. Oh, well, you'll see.
