PBN News: A Republic if you can keep it

[00:00:08] You're listening to PBN. Your path back to stability here.

[00:00:36] The secret of happiness is freedom and a looping intro.

[00:00:41] You're listening to PBN.

[00:00:44] We gotta kill that. Oh, that looping feature is brutal. Why did they add that?

[00:00:49] Anyhow, the secret of happiness is freedom and the secret of freedom is courage.

[00:01:00] Thucydides. Thucydides, Athenian general and historian.

[00:01:06] There were a lot of historians in the Roman times, which is really probably, I guess, what we should thank, who we should thank for all the written word and all the history that we have today.

[00:01:20] Welcome to PBN, folks. It's Monday. Happy Monday to you.

[00:01:26] It's Veterans Day. That's why I brought open the show with that.

[00:01:33] They are the cause. They are the upkeep, right?

[00:01:37] They are sort of the custodians of one such freedom.

[00:01:43] Are the veterans.

[00:01:44] And it, you know, it just

[00:01:46] It's a thing that I

[00:01:48] have reached the age where I could never

[00:01:51] give that honor.

[00:01:54] Or I could never

[00:01:56] I can't do it. I can't be a veteran.

[00:01:58] You know what I mean?

[00:01:59] At my age, unless things go really bad in the world.

[00:02:02] What's up, Jay Fergie?

[00:02:04] Good morning.

[00:02:06] So it's one of those things.

[00:02:07] Hey, garden girl.

[00:02:08] Welcome in.

[00:02:09] It's one of those things that I'm ever grateful for, you know, and the older you get, the more you understand it.

[00:02:16] The more you start to realize, like, it's not when you get when I was young, I used to think of veterans equal war in terms of like, that's how they've kept us free.

[00:02:27] And the more geopolitically inclined you become, the more you start to realize, like, oh, it's, it's the deterrent as much as anything else.

[00:02:38] You know, it's the American military deterrent.

[00:02:41] As much as anything else that it keeps us safe.

[00:02:48] So in other words, like, in other words, you think.

[00:02:52] As a young man.

[00:02:55] That they're that going off to war.

[00:02:58] Right.

[00:02:59] Like veterans, soldiers going off to war is what.

[00:03:03] What keeps us safe and keeps us free.

[00:03:07] And then you start to build this weird division in your head about those men who went to war and those men who didn't.

[00:03:16] And, you know, as you get older and you watch the world, you start to realize it's like.

[00:03:21] Every soldier.

[00:03:24] Adds to this absolute whirlwind that is the United States military and demands and receives respect around the world.

[00:03:34] You know.

[00:03:35] And it is that entire that's the entirety of that fighting force that.

[00:03:39] I mean.

[00:03:42] It's you can't say that it's been 100 percent peaceful, but I'm telling you right now, it would be a very different world.

[00:03:49] Without the United States military.

[00:03:52] I don't think you can comprehend.

[00:03:56] The suffering.

[00:03:58] On the world stage.

[00:04:00] Well, just I mean, just think for for a minute.

[00:04:02] Just just for five minutes.

[00:04:04] Some point today, sit down and really go over it in your head.

[00:04:07] If Donald Trump came out his first day in office, sign an executive order that which you wouldn't do.

[00:04:13] But if you sign an executive order that would bring.

[00:04:16] All U.S. military assets, troops, everything bases shut down.

[00:04:23] All assets and military are to be brought back home.

[00:04:29] And not to leave the U.S. borders and to defend the coasts exclusively and maybe a little Navy around.

[00:04:37] You know, our.

[00:04:38] Puerto Ricos and our Hawaii's and so on.

[00:04:43] Imagine.

[00:04:44] What the world would become.

[00:04:45] What would happen to Israel?

[00:04:46] What happened to Ukraine?

[00:04:48] What would happen to Taiwan?

[00:04:49] What would happen to in Africa?

[00:04:52] You know what I mean?

[00:04:54] Like the suffering you can't even wrap your head around.

[00:04:58] So never forget it.

[00:04:59] You know, like it's good.

[00:05:00] We are.

[00:05:01] America is meant to be.

[00:05:04] What people around the world aspire to.

[00:05:08] And.

[00:05:09] I think humanity requires.

[00:05:13] Something to aspire to.

[00:05:16] You know what I mean?

[00:05:17] It requires it.

[00:05:19] So.

[00:05:21] You know, we have to kind of be on our top of our game at all times.

[00:05:25] It's not good.

[00:05:27] When the nation that you aspire to is all filled with depressed, obese people.

[00:05:33] You know what I mean?

[00:05:35] Then the the nations.

[00:05:37] And their people start looking to other places.

[00:05:41] Where else should we?

[00:05:42] What else should we aspire to?

[00:05:43] Because, you know, the American way seems kind of rough.

[00:05:46] Suicide's real high.

[00:05:48] Drug use.

[00:05:49] Depression.

[00:05:53] But it's just, you know.

[00:05:55] It's what it is.

[00:05:57] It's an understanding of the day.

[00:05:59] And we're going to have Dave Jones on at 7 p.m.

[00:06:03] To talk.

[00:06:05] I don't know what we're going to talk.

[00:06:07] Yeah, actually.

[00:06:08] He messaged me yesterday and he said, do you want a veteran on tonight?

[00:06:11] And I said, of course.

[00:06:13] Knowing he meant, you know, himself.

[00:06:15] And he said 7 p.m.

[00:06:18] is what time he's available tonight.

[00:06:20] So our show will be early tonight.

[00:06:22] 7 p.m.

[00:06:24] Join us.

[00:06:25] We'll be live here.

[00:06:27] Broadcasting from all the usual, you know, suspected locations.

[00:06:32] We have X, YouTube, Behind Enemy Lines at YouTube, Rumble.

[00:06:41] And this will all be merged into a podcast to go to our podcast listening audience afterward.

[00:06:49] I see we have several people in our Element chat.

[00:06:52] Thank you for joining us in the Element chat.

[00:06:55] If you're in the X chat room, YouTube, Rumble.

[00:07:00] What's up, L2 Survive?

[00:07:01] In the chat.

[00:07:03] If you're in any of those chat rooms, feel free to comment.

[00:07:07] Get into the conversation.

[00:07:09] We've got an interesting one threat, one solution that, you know, we all want out of wars.

[00:07:16] But there's a lot to tease out in society right now.

[00:07:19] There's a lot like there's a lot that we have to figure out.

[00:07:22] And some big stuff, you know.

[00:07:26] Hold on.

[00:07:27] I got something here from U.S. shortages.

[00:07:34] Let's see.

[00:07:37] What do we got here?

[00:07:38] Average household size depends on what state you live in.

[00:07:41] Oh, are you feeling lucky?

[00:07:42] Here we go.

[00:07:44] And we have several rooms for those of you who don't know.

[00:07:47] And this has become even better now.

[00:07:50] Element has become all the more important.

[00:07:53] I got an email message from a lifetime member or a guy who jumped from regular membership to lifetime membership.

[00:08:03] And thank you, by the way, Jay.

[00:08:05] Appreciate that.

[00:08:08] And he sent me a message and he said, you know, I get a lot of my news from PBN now because there's nothing else.

[00:08:15] I don't trust anything on the mainstream.

[00:08:19] Which is one of the, you know, we never set out to be that.

[00:08:23] You got to understand.

[00:08:27] But that's kind of been the story of my life, to be honest with you.

[00:08:29] It's been what I've set out to be in this life and what I've been asked to become are two very different things, right?

[00:08:37] And it's important in life to be prepared to answer that call.

[00:08:41] You know what I mean?

[00:08:42] You don't want to become a square peg, man.

[00:08:46] You want to be able to answer the call of what your society needs, what your loved ones need, so on and so forth.

[00:08:52] It just feels better.

[00:08:54] But anyway, what we've done sort of by accident.

[00:08:59] Oh, wonderful.

[00:09:00] Good timing, HP.

[00:09:01] Thank you.

[00:09:02] What we've done sort of by accident is in becoming, trying to be as independent as possible, not from like a news perspective, but literally being able to keep the business doors open and not be censored and destroyed.

[00:09:18] We created a bunch of chat rooms in an open source chat called Element.

[00:09:23] And now we get all kinds of great information from our listeners there.

[00:09:27] You know, awesome send from our hosts, awesome stuff.

[00:09:30] And we have this sort of stream of news that we're not necessarily taking advantage of.

[00:09:38] And one of the things that Jay said when he reached out to me would really peak my ears.

[00:09:43] And I know, Jay Ferg, you're going to hear this loud and clear, but it was just that idea that I think the ball for news is kind of up in the air right now.

[00:09:55] And I say that not just because a listener emailed me about it, but because I'm in the same boat, because I used to go to the Drudge Report all the time.

[00:10:03] I used to wake up, you know, drink coffee, read a little bit of Drudge, read a little bit of Michael Snyder.

[00:10:10] The Drudge Report's dead.

[00:10:12] It's totally compromised.

[00:10:14] It's ruined.

[00:10:15] So, I don't know.

[00:10:18] In 2025, we may be doing, we may be into a new project.

[00:10:28] There's a very good chance.

[00:10:31] And should we do some sort of news or media organization, I will tell you right now, you members and you, your lifetime members and you regular members, you annual members, monthly members, you guys will undoubtedly carry over.

[00:10:48] Okay, so don't worry about that.

[00:10:49] I know you guys have invested in PBN.

[00:10:52] You've invested, some of you for, you know, five years or more.

[00:10:59] Or if we expand into something like that, you guys will be taken care of.

[00:11:02] So, don't worry about that.

[00:11:04] But I got this before we get into the One Threat, One Solution, this average grocery bill.

[00:11:12] And it is pretty astounding.

[00:11:14] I can tell you right now, it's way higher than my grocery bill.

[00:11:17] The average grocery bill in my state is $280 per week.

[00:11:24] Weekly spent, $280.

[00:11:26] It's very high in Virginia too, by the way.

[00:11:30] It's one of the highest.

[00:11:34] That is $280, right?

[00:11:36] Can I read that?

[00:11:36] Oh, it's $260, I'm sorry.

[00:11:39] $260.

[00:11:40] $286 in Texas.

[00:11:42] $298 in Cali, of course.

[00:11:43] $288 in Washington.

[00:11:45] The highest are, you know, Hawaii and Alaska, of course.

[00:11:51] If you want cheap groceries, you go to Wisconsin, $221.

[00:11:55] I could tell you right now, I spend less than that weekly at the supermarket.

[00:11:59] But, as I mentioned last week, I don't know if it was on the podcast or on the Trump membership thing.

[00:12:07] If your weekly bill, one of the ways you can cut your weekly bill is by buying in bulk.

[00:12:13] You save money that way and then you peel away from that weekly grocery bill also.

[00:12:23] Community cost of groceries reports.

[00:12:25] We got a bunch of talk over on the USA shortages side about grocery bills and cost of groceries.

[00:12:31] It's a big deal.

[00:12:32] People are worried about it.

[00:12:32] People are talking about it.

[00:12:34] You know what I mean?

[00:12:35] Money, money, money, money.

[00:12:36] Roll into holidays.

[00:12:39] I think L2 Survive says, I think lifetime members should get a PBN challenge coin.

[00:12:44] You know, that's a good idea.

[00:12:45] That's a damn good idea.

[00:12:48] Let me see what I can do on that.

[00:12:52] L2 Survive.

[00:12:53] You guys definitely have facedown the challenge.

[00:12:58] Garden Girl says, I don't spend over $200 a week in Texas for a family of five.

[00:13:03] Impressive.

[00:13:04] I don't spend over $200 a week in Texas for a family of five.

[00:13:10] What you eat and what I always see on your page, Garden Girl, is you guys cooking.

[00:13:17] And if you don't think that cooking from scratch makes a difference on your week-to-week bills,

[00:13:23] just, you know, just price it.

[00:13:25] Just price it out.

[00:13:26] Price out a pound of ground beef and then go see what, you know, pre-made food costs.

[00:13:35] Or, you know, the thing that I think where people get in the most trouble is if they don't cook,

[00:13:40] then they buy some pre-made stuff, I guess.

[00:13:43] Or they do the worst thing you could do to your money, which is go out to eat.

[00:13:50] You know, going out to eat now is like, it's so bad.

[00:13:54] It's unbelievable.

[00:13:56] The money you have to spend to go out and eat.

[00:13:58] And you get nothing.

[00:14:01] Like, you're getting, in most places, like, you're getting crap.

[00:14:06] And spending so much money for it.

[00:14:09] It's crazy.

[00:14:10] Like, I remember eating some of the best tacos I ever had in my whole life for like $2 each.

[00:14:17] And you go on special days and get them for like $1 each.

[00:14:20] You know what I mean?

[00:14:24] It, what you pay for.

[00:14:26] My favorite probably is Chipotle.

[00:14:28] Like, and it sucks because my kids absolutely love it.

[00:14:32] But it's just one of those things where you go out and you're like, you leave.

[00:14:37] And there's like a soreness in your heart because you can't, as a chef,

[00:14:42] and you understand the cost of things and all that kind of stuff.

[00:14:44] You're like, and my kids, they don't get anything wacky, really.

[00:14:50] So at the end of the day, it's like, I just spent $65 or whatever

[00:14:55] for rice, beans, and chicken and guacamole handed to me by someone with an attitude.

[00:15:02] You know, and you're like, how can this be that much?

[00:15:05] How can it cost so much?

[00:15:08] But, you know, it is what it is.

[00:15:10] Hopefully we see a leveling off.

[00:15:12] Hopefully the Bidenomics start to taper under Donald Trump.

[00:15:17] I don't know.

[00:15:17] It's hard to imagine the cost of things ever going down.

[00:15:20] But it is what it is.

[00:15:23] Let's get the great man brief up and do this crazy situation out of Taiwan.

[00:15:29] We'll talk about the one threat, one solution of today.

[00:15:33] This is a global conflict supply chain issue that I don't even know if I have a solution for.

[00:15:38] To be honest.

[00:15:39] Well, we always have a solution.

[00:15:41] But let's get into it.

[00:15:44] Great man.

[00:16:00] Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.

[00:16:02] The TSMC, as you will hear them referred to in here.

[00:16:06] The leading global contract chip maker has announced it will cease.

[00:16:10] It's big news.

[00:16:12] It's good news for America, too, by the way.

[00:16:14] But it will cease.

[00:16:17] The leading global contract chip maker will cease manufacturing advanced AI chips.

[00:16:23] So the seven nanometer or smaller for Chinese clients starting November 11th, 2024.

[00:16:29] November.

[00:16:29] That's today.

[00:16:30] Hello.

[00:16:31] Today.

[00:16:35] Yeah.

[00:16:36] They're not going to make them anymore for China.

[00:16:38] Taiwan is not going to make them anymore for China.

[00:16:42] It's wild.

[00:16:45] Right?

[00:16:47] Garden Girl, fill me in, please, on the Stop Soldier Suicide Fundraiser run.

[00:16:55] And I guess I'm way behind on that.

[00:16:57] But I can at least do the run part.

[00:17:00] The decision aligns with the export restrictions from the U.S. Department of Commerce.

[00:17:05] See, the U.S. has such insane pull that they place these restrictions on their friends fundamentally.

[00:17:13] And then their enemies have to suffer.

[00:17:16] You know, Taiwan understands we have to do what America says.

[00:17:20] If they don't want to sell on these chips to China, we can't sell them to them.

[00:17:23] Or else they won't be there when China decides to send their naval fleet over for real.

[00:17:30] The Department of Commerce specifically targeting chips for AI accelerators and GPUs.

[00:17:34] The move follows reports of a TSMC manufactured chip in a Huawei AI processor, raising concerns over export control violations.

[00:17:43] The TSMC has confirmed its commitment to complying with all legal and regulatory requirements.

[00:17:51] Okay?

[00:17:53] Obviously, we have increasing tensions between China and Taiwan.

[00:17:58] TSMC stock has dropped with its American depository seats falling 1.9% to 197.26% in pre-market trading.

[00:18:08] That sounds like I know what that means, but I don't.

[00:18:13] You know, it's a big deal.

[00:18:16] AI technology is a big thing.

[00:18:18] And it's a race.

[00:18:20] You know, and the moment you fall behind on that race, it's a problem.

[00:18:27] Nub L2 Survive talks about the Costco sirloin burgers frozen.

[00:18:32] They used to be $18 for a pack of 18 last week.

[00:18:34] It was $31.

[00:18:36] He says, I sat there for at least five minutes looking at it.

[00:18:40] Finally grabbed the pack.

[00:18:43] He goes on to say, but it might be the last time he buys them.

[00:18:48] And, you know, it's just a shift, man.

[00:18:51] You know, what's important is your desire and ability to adapt.

[00:18:56] You know what I mean?

[00:18:56] I mean, that's what makes the difference.

[00:18:59] Really.

[00:19:00] I mean, it just, it is what it is.

[00:19:02] The world changes and we change our situation.

[00:19:08] And the only good thing about the meat price raise is you start looking local then.

[00:19:15] You can start, like, there was a time when you would go to the supermarket and buy meat

[00:19:18] and be like, ah, that's nice and cheap and it's fine.

[00:19:21] And then you would go to, like, a fancy market and go, oh, the locally raised beef is insane.

[00:19:26] God, how can it cost so much?

[00:19:28] When it all starts to cost extra, you start looking at the good stuff, the top of the line,

[00:19:32] locally raised stuff and go, well, five more bucks.

[00:19:35] What the heck?

[00:19:40] So, such is the case, PBN family.

[00:19:43] We've got some things to talk about.

[00:19:46] I've got, what do I want to do?

[00:19:49] So, my question to you guys is where do you go for news?

[00:19:54] So, I'd love to hear from you on that one.

[00:19:56] Like, what is your, what is your one click for news?

[00:19:59] You know, what do you, do you do a Google News feed?

[00:20:02] Do you go to X?

[00:20:03] Do you go to, um, what website do you go to?

[00:20:07] When you want to get sort of that overview of news, like you wake up, it's a Monday,

[00:20:11] you're drinking coffee, you're trying to figure out how the week's going to go.

[00:20:14] So, you want to see what China's doing, what Trump did, what happened in Russia,

[00:20:19] what happened down the street, what happened, you know, all that kind of stuff.

[00:20:23] I would like to know from you, the listening audience, sort of where you go for news.

[00:20:28] Or have you abandoned it?

[00:20:30] Have you said to yourself, you know what, screw this.

[00:20:33] Tired of this stuff anyway.

[00:20:35] Don't really want to focus on the news.

[00:20:38] It's just a pain in the ass, you know.

[00:20:43] Very soon, in about what?

[00:20:46] See, Black Friday is like almost the last day of the year this month.

[00:20:49] But very soon, a couple weeks, we will be releasing once again our annual,

[00:20:55] it's our annual now, because we've done it, I don't even know how many years,

[00:20:58] three, four years.

[00:21:00] Our annual Black Friday Ultimate Preppers Black Friday catalog.

[00:21:06] We're going to do another one.

[00:21:08] So, Nub in chat says he listens to the Timcast for news.

[00:21:11] Good source.

[00:21:16] Walmart, this is very interesting from Nub also.

[00:21:20] Walmart and some other stores said that a Thanksgiving dinner this year

[00:21:23] will be the same as 2019, cost-wise.

[00:21:25] That'll be interesting to see.

[00:21:31] Yeah, the Preppers Ultimate Black Friday catalog will be out again this year.

[00:21:37] I think I'm going to do a new release, Ugly Christmas Sweater for you guys.

[00:21:42] If I get time, I'm designing the catalog right now,

[00:21:45] so designing the sweater, you know, that takes time.

[00:21:49] S2 Underground, Suspicious Observers from that nub, that's a great one.

[00:21:54] Yeah.

[00:21:55] The Suspicious Observer is a great example of a source I never see sort of coalesced with another.

[00:22:06] Like, we have a lot of these news sources and cool news makers, I guess, content creators.

[00:22:14] And I think they need a, we need a, sort of an umbrella for all of them, you know?

[00:22:22] And that may be the direction we're going in 2024.

[00:22:25] We'll see.

[00:22:25] Not podcasts, but news, media, red beacon media.

[00:22:35] Yeah.

[00:22:36] Yeah.

[00:22:36] So, what else?

[00:22:39] What, oh, so yeah, be excited, get ready.

[00:22:42] It's fun.

[00:22:43] Nothing's better than the big catalog you receive from Sears when you were a little kid.

[00:22:47] And that was exactly my motivation when we started the Preppers Ultimate Black Friday catalog.

[00:22:52] Because it's just, that's what it is.

[00:22:54] It's a big old, I just got my top, I just got Chin's top three emergency comms recommendations that's going to go into the catalog.

[00:23:02] Three different products for that.

[00:23:06] I reached out to a bunch of new people to put into the catalog this year also.

[00:23:11] But I was perusing last year's, man, it was awesome.

[00:23:14] A lot of good stuff in there.

[00:23:15] A lot of good stuff.

[00:23:17] My new book will probably be, well, I don't know if it'll be ready, but the link will be in there.

[00:23:22] Maybe for like pre-order or something like that.

[00:23:26] The next chapter in Christmas books from yours truly of all things Christmas books.

[00:23:33] It's called Let Your Heart Be Light.

[00:23:35] And I think you guys will absolutely love it.

[00:23:38] For those of you who take the time during the holiday season to sit back and enjoy.

[00:23:44] Forward Observer is a great one for sure.

[00:23:47] Never even heard of the Economic Ninja.

[00:23:53] Yeah, good stuff, Nup, thank you.

[00:23:57] Good stuff for you.

[00:23:58] While we're on the subject of L2 Survive, in the podcast description, I'm going to link to a video from L2 Survive YouTube channel.

[00:24:08] And this is sort of an old staple, but it's probably one you want to sort of, you know, refresh in your mind.

[00:24:16] Or take the time and do it if you've never done it before.

[00:24:19] And it's a video DIY on a coffee can heater.

[00:24:23] We're heading into the cold months.

[00:24:26] And L2 Survive has a great video step-by-step how to build out that simple coffee can heater, man.

[00:24:34] You know, there's a lot of weird off-grid heating methods.

[00:24:39] Some of them are exceptional.

[00:24:41] And they seem like magic.

[00:24:43] You know what I mean?

[00:24:44] They're like, that'll never work.

[00:24:47] But like Dave Jones always says, man, you want to have as many ways to heat your home as possible.

[00:24:51] Why not?

[00:24:52] Why not have the options?

[00:24:53] I love having the tiers and the options when it comes to chaos and problems.

[00:24:58] So look for that.

[00:25:00] L2 Survive.

[00:25:01] Or you can just go to L2 Survive at YouTube and subscribe.

[00:25:04] Great videos.

[00:25:05] I mean, I almost posted his latest video that came out two days ago.

[00:25:09] But I'm going to save that one.

[00:25:12] It's a real-deal test on hand warmers.

[00:25:15] You know, how warm do the hand warmers go?

[00:25:19] All right.

[00:25:19] L2 Survive.

[00:25:22] Zayhan on politics.

[00:25:23] I like him.

[00:25:24] I know he gets a lot of heat.

[00:25:26] I like him.

[00:25:26] I don't know if he's right all the time or not.

[00:25:29] Peak Prosperity is a good one, too.

[00:25:30] I never really go to Peak Prosperity on its own, but I'm always directed there.

[00:25:38] I always find a link to an article.

[00:25:40] And I go, that sounds like a good article.

[00:25:41] And boom, I'm at Peak Prosperity.

[00:25:43] Peak Prosperity is...

[00:25:46] Is he the one?

[00:25:48] No, no, no.

[00:25:49] He's not the one who does the Tyler Durden, right?

[00:25:54] Okay.

[00:25:54] What else, folks?

[00:25:56] Coffee can heater.

[00:25:59] I think that's a wrap.

[00:26:01] I don't think I'm going to read to you guys today.

[00:26:07] L2 Survive is now making a confession in chat that he...

[00:26:14] I do appreciate all the recommendations, but how the hell do you read all this stuff on a day-to-day basis?

[00:26:21] They are good, though.

[00:26:22] Thank you.

[00:26:23] Because we need...

[00:26:24] I think we need something that puts all this stuff together in one spot.

[00:26:28] An aggregator, if you will.

[00:26:30] Do you know what I mean?

[00:26:32] An aggregator that has a few subheadings.

[00:26:35] One of the best examples is Future Danger.

[00:26:38] And I'll probably work with the creator Future Dan Future Danger to get it all ironed out.

[00:26:43] I know.

[00:26:44] There's too much going on, man.

[00:26:45] We got too much going on all the damn time.

[00:26:48] That's like...

[00:26:49] That's true.

[00:26:50] For our, like, hashtag to be your path back to stability,

[00:26:55] we should also have, like, a joking motto.

[00:26:58] And that one be PBN.

[00:27:02] Too damn much going on.

[00:27:05] You know what I'm saying?

[00:27:07] Three times speed.

[00:27:09] Okay.

[00:27:09] That's good.

[00:27:11] I'll take that.

[00:27:12] That's definitely good.

[00:27:15] All right, folks.

[00:27:16] I think it's time to hit the high road.

[00:27:18] I do appreciate you.

[00:27:21] We'll be running some ads.

[00:27:23] Chat, thanks so much, man.

[00:27:27] What would you say, Jay, before we hit the road?

[00:27:31] Oh, as far as the answer, yeah.

[00:27:33] Well, yeah.

[00:27:35] It's further along now than it's ever been, Phoenix.

[00:27:39] I can promise you that much.

[00:27:40] It's further along now than it's ever been.

[00:27:44] And, you know, as I always told you, it's an inevitability.

[00:27:49] These things, they just take time.

[00:27:51] You know, it takes time.

[00:27:53] It really does.

[00:27:56] Projects, I used to rush projects.

[00:27:58] I used to rush books.

[00:27:59] I used to rush things.

[00:28:00] And I'd get them out, and I'd get them out with regrets and stuff like that.

[00:28:04] And I think it's better to take your time.

[00:28:08] Better to take your time on the things you're passionate about and want to present to the world.

[00:28:14] And, you know, once we do premiere it, we'll definitely have to add the caveat that this would not have been possible without the Phoenix putting the fire under the commander's ass on such a regular basis.

[00:28:28] Because that's the truth.

[00:28:30] All right, folks.

[00:28:31] I'm out of here.

[00:28:50] I can't believe it.

[00:28:51] They haven't yelled at us yet.

[00:28:55] But, yeah, that's it, man.

[00:28:57] Support sponsors, all right?

[00:28:59] Talk to you soon.

[00:29:00] EMP protection is on the minds of all preppers.

[00:29:02] And since the massive geomagnetic storm back in May that brought the Northern Lights to Texas, more and more people are paying attention.
